d6db3f0ce3 v0.41.34.0 feat(search): retrieval cathedral — max-pool + title + alias + evidence (#1657)
* feat(search): per-page max-pool in searchVector (both engines)

T1 of the retrieval-cathedral wave (supersedes #1616). Vector search returned
chunk-grain top-k with no DISTINCT ON, so a page could be represented by a
weak chunk while a hub page's chunks crowded a distinct page's strong chunk
out of the candidate set entirely. Keyword search always pooled per page; the
vector path did not.

- New shared buildBestPerPagePoolCte() in sql-ranking.ts — single source of
  truth consumed by searchKeyword + searchVector across postgres + pglite, so
  the two engines can't drift (the recurring parity bug class).
- searchVector both engines: compute score as a select-list expr (HNSW
  ORDER BY stays pure-distance), pool DISTINCT ON (slug) over the full
  candidate set before the user LIMIT, deterministic tiebreak
  (slug, score DESC, page_id ASC, chunk_id ASC).
- All keyword pooling blocks refactored onto the shared builder (DRY).
- Regression test: a hub page's chunks no longer crowd out a distinct page's
  strong chunk; results are one-per-page by best chunk. Fails on old path.

Verified: real-Postgres engine-parity 22/22, PGLite hermetic suite green.

* feat(search): title-phrase boost (page.title first-class signal)

T2 of the retrieval-cathedral wave. A query that is a phrase from a page's
title ("Greek amphitheater" -> "The Mingtang - Indoor Greek Amphitheater")
matched a weak body chunk instead of being recognized as a title hit. Names
of things deserve weight.

- New pure title-match.ts: isTitlePhraseMatch (contiguous token-run inside
  page.title OR exact full-title match). Precision guards: >= 2 content
  tokens OR exact full-title; stopword filter; token-boundary match (no raw
  substring). Reused by the eval later so production + bench can't drift.
- applyTitleBoost post-fusion stage in hybrid.ts: reads page.title (not the
  brittle "first chunk"), floor-ratio-gated, stamps title_match_boost for
  --explain, never touches base_score (the agent's dedup confidence).
- ModeBundle.title_boost knob (1.25, on in all modes - cheap gated
  correctness fix), search.title_boost config key, dashboard description.
- KNOBS_HASH_VERSION 6 -> 7 so a boost-on cache write can't serve a
  boost-off lookup; all version-pin + canonical-bundle assertions updated.
- 18 new tests (matcher 13 + stage 5); typecheck clean.

* feat(search): page_aliases data layer (T3 foundation)

Free-text alias resolution for search. gbrain stored a page's chosen names
in pages.frontmatter `aliases:` JSONB but search never consulted them, so a
query like "Hall of Light" or "明堂" couldn't surface the "Mingtang" page.

DELIBERATELY SEPARATE from slug_aliases (re-grounded against current code):
  - slug_aliases:  old-slug -> canonical-slug (wikilink/get_page redirect,
    populated only from concept-redirect conversions)
  - page_aliases:  normalized free-text name -> canonical slug (search hop)
Overloading slug_aliases would muddy two distinct semantics, so this is a
new table, not an extension (honors DRY by keeping concepts separate).

- src/core/search/alias-normalize.ts: ONE normalizeAlias() (NFKC + lowercase
  + ws-collapse + quote-strip) + normalizeAliasList() shared by the write
  (ingest) and read (search) paths so they match on the same key (CQ2).
- Migration v108 page_aliases (source_id, alias_norm, slug); btree
  (source_id, alias_norm) for indexed-equality hop, NOT ILIKE; unique TRIPLE
  (not source_id+alias_norm) so two pages may claim one alias — collisions
  reported + resolved at query time, not blocked at ingest (Codex#8).
  Mirror in pglite-schema.ts; Postgres fresh gets it from the migration.
- engine.resolveAliases(aliasNorms, {sourceId|sourceIds}) read +
  setPageAliases(slug, source, aliasNorms) write, both engines, source-scoped.
- 17 tests: normalize round-trip, collision, source-scope, replace, clear.

Ingest projection + the hybridSearch alias hop land next (T3 wiring).

* feat(search): alias hop + ingest projection (T3 wiring)

Wires the page_aliases data layer into ingest (write) and hybridSearch (read)
so a query that is a page's declared chosen name surfaces that page — the
named-thing class neither max-pool nor title-boost can fix (true synonyms with
zero surface overlap: "Hall of Light" / "明堂" -> the Mingtang page).

- Ingest projection (import-file.ts): after the page write commits,
  normalizeAliasList(frontmatter.aliases) -> engine.setPageAliases. Always
  called (even []) so removing an alias clears its row; content_hash includes
  non-timestamp frontmatter so alias edits reach this path, not the skip branch.
  Fail-soft + pre-v108-safe (isUndefinedTableError swallowed).
- applyAliasHop (hybrid.ts), AFTER rerank so a named query reliably surfaces
  its page: FULL normalized-query exact match only (no substring/n-grams),
  skip >6-token prose queries, present-boost 1.10x / inject absent canonical at
  top-of-organic + epsilon (never absolute 1.0, D3), collisions alpha-ordered +
  capped at 3, fail-open on pre-v108 / lookup error (D9). Stamps alias_hit for
  the T4 evidence contract.
- SearchResult.alias_hit attribution field.
- 8 tests: inject/boost/CJK/no-match/long-skip/collision + ingest projection
  round-trip + alias-removal-clears. 73 pass across the T1/T2/T3 + import suite.

Backfill of existing pages' aliases lands as T8 (reindex --aliases).

* feat(search): evidence/create_safety contract + search→cheap-hybrid + per-call mode (T4)

The agent-facing fix for the incident's ROOT behavior: tonight the agent read a
single blended 0.64 score, decided "no strong match, safe to write a new page",
and wrote a duplicate on a developed concept page. A blended RRF/cosine score is
not a calibrated probability, so the don't-duplicate decision must key off WHY a
page matched, not a raw number.

- evidence.ts: classifyEvidence (alias_hit > exact_title_match > high_vector_match
  > keyword_exact > weak_semantic) + createSafetyFor (exists | probable | unknown).
  stampEvidence runs at the end of every hybrid return path (main + both keyword
  fallbacks). SearchResult gains evidence + create_safety. The agent keys
  don't-duplicate off create_safety='exists', not a score threshold.
- search op → cheap-hybrid everywhere (D4/D15): full vector+keyword+RRF+pool+
  title+alias, expansion OFF (no per-call LLM cost); `query` stays full-control.
  search.mcp_keyword_only escape hatch (D17) keeps the old keyword-only behavior
  for operators who don't want query text sent to an embedding provider.
- Alias hop + evidence now also run on the keyword-only fallback paths (the
  named-thing fix is most valuable exactly when vector is unavailable).
- Per-call `mode` (D5): honored ONLY for local/trusted callers (ctx.remote===
  false) so a remote OAuth client can't escalate to costly tokenmax; local +
  unknown mode rejects loudly; threaded into resolveSearchMode + the cache key.
- 30 tests (evidence classifier incl. before/after-incident cases, per-call mode
  gate, alias hop). Updated mcp-eval-capture to the new cheap-hybrid contract.

* fix(cli): reconcile `gbrain search` dispatch (T5)

After T4 made the `search` op cheap-hybrid, `gbrain search "x"` already does the
right thing — but `gbrain search modes/stats/tune` would have run a hybrid search
for the literal word "modes" instead of opening the config dashboard (the op
intercepts before the unreachable handleCliOnly dashboard path).

Add a pre-dispatch interception in main(): `search` + subArgs[0] in
{modes,stats,tune} → runSearch dashboard (with the v0.41.6.0 read-only connect+
dispatch 10s timeout preserved); everything else (free-text) falls through to the
cheap-hybrid `search` op. Subprocess test pins all three routes:
modes/stats → dashboard, free-text → search op ("No results", not "Unknown
subcommand").

* feat(eval): NamedThingBench retrieval-quality gate (T6)

The eval that makes the retrieval-maxpool incident impossible to reintroduce
silently. 7 query families, each a failure class the incident exposed:
title-substring, generic-to-named, alias-synonym, multi-chunk-dilution,
short-vs-rich, graph-relationship, hard-negative.

- src/eval/retrieval-quality/harness.ts: pure scoring (Hit@1/Hit@3/MRR per
  family) + injected SearchFn (CLI uses hybridSearch; tests stub it) +
  evaluateGate. D12 gate: hard-gate the families that ARE the bug from day one
  (title-substring Hit@1>=0.95, alias-synonym Hit@1>=0.98, dilution Hit@3=1.0),
  warn-then-enforce the softer families. Env-overridable floors.
- `gbrain eval retrieval-quality <fixture.jsonl> [--json] [--source]` +
  dispatch in eval.ts. Exit 0 PASS / 1 FAIL / 2 USAGE.
- Synthetic fixture (placeholder names only, privacy-grep guarded) + hermetic
  gate test: seeds a synthetic brain, forces the keyword+title+alias path
  (embed transport stubbed to throw — free, deterministic), asserts the bug
  families pass. The vector max-pool guarantee is pinned separately by
  searchvector-maxpool.test.ts.
- CI gate: the hermetic test is a normal unit test, so it runs in every PR
  shard — the gate is live on every change.
- 23 tests (harness unit + hermetic gate + fixture privacy guard).

* feat(telemetry): rank-1 score drift signal (T7)

Standing observability so a retrieval regression is caught before a human hits
it in chat (like tonight). Aggregate columns on search_telemetry (NOT per-query
rows, D10): sum_rank1_score + count_rank1 + 3 coarse buckets (<0.6 / 0.6-0.85 /
>=0.85). The mean rank-1 base_score is the headline; a downward drift = retrieval
quality regressing.

- hybrid.ts: capture rank-1 base_score at all three return paths, thread through
  emitMeta → recordSearchTelemetry opts (like results_count).
- telemetry.ts: Bucket + record + flush ON CONFLICT-add + readSearchStats expose
  avg_rank1_score (null when no samples — no NaN) + rank1_distribution.
- Migration v109 ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS (both engines; search_telemetry lives
  only in migration v57, so the v57+v109 chain covers fresh + upgrade). Columns
  exempted in schema-bootstrap-coverage (no forward-ref index → no bootstrap need).
- `gbrain search stats` surfaces the avg + bucket line; JSON envelope auto-carries
  the fields. "true-positive" wording dropped per Codex#14 — production has no
  labels, so this is an unlabeled rank-1 score histogram; labeled calibration
  lives in NamedThingBench (T6).
- 3 round-trip tests (mean+buckets, no-result excluded, empty=null).

* feat(reindex): gbrain reindex --aliases backfill (T8)

Import-time projection (T3) covers new + changed pages; this backfills EXISTING
pages whose frontmatter `aliases:` predate v108 / the projection. Walks
listAllPageRefs (cheap cross-source (source_id, slug) enumeration), reads each
page's frontmatter aliases, writes page_aliases via setPageAliases.

Idempotent (setPageAliases replaces) so re-running is convergent — no op-checkpoint
needed (fast, no embedding). --dry-run reports would-write counts, --source
narrows, --limit caps, --json envelope, progress reporter. Wired into the
`reindex` dispatch alongside --markdown / --multimodal.

4 tests: backfill from array + comma-scalar frontmatter, --dry-run writes
nothing, idempotent second run.

* test(search): pre-migration fail-open regression (T9)

Pins that pre-v108 brains (no page_aliases table) keep working: applyAliasHop
returns input unchanged + doesn't throw, importFromContent with frontmatter
aliases still imports (projection swallows table-missing via isUndefinedTableError),
and resolveAliases surfaces the error for the caller to catch.

Completes the T9 mandatory regression set (dilution → searchvector-maxpool,
dispatch → cli-search-dispatch, MCP contract → mcp-eval-capture, engine parity
→ engine-parity 22/22, pre-migration → here).

* feat(search): Phase-0 retrieval diagnostic — `gbrain search diagnose` (T0)

The operator-facing trace the user runs against the production brain to pin
which retrieval layer surfaces (or misses) a target page — the diagnostic the
plan front-loaded so we don't ship a fix that doesn't move the incident.

`gbrain search diagnose "<query>" --target <slug> [--json] [--source]` reports,
for the target: keyword rank+score, vector rank+score (skipped/graceful if no
embedding provider), whether the query is a registered alias, and the hybrid
final rank + evidence + create_safety + which boosts fired (title/alias). The
verdict names the layer that surfaces the target at rank 1 (or "none"), telling
you whether the lever is max-pool/innerLimit (vector) vs title/alias.

Wired into the `search` dispatch alongside modes/stats/tune (60s timeout since
it runs real retrieval). 2 hermetic tests (alias-query trace + title-phrase
trace). For the Mingtang incident, run:
  gbrain search diagnose "Greek amphitheater" --target projects/new-greek-theater/concept_v0

* docs(retrieval): corrected incident record + named-thing layers + glossary (T10)

- RETRIEVAL_MAXPOOL_INCIDENT.md: replaces closed PR #1616's RFC with the
  verified record — what happened, the disease, the corrections to the RFC's
  mechanics (search was keyword-only, --mode unthreaded, hybrid already pooled
  at dedup, aliases dead to search), the four-layer fix that shipped, and the
  triage commands (search diagnose / reindex --aliases / search stats / eval
  retrieval-quality).
- RETRIEVAL.md: new "Named-thing retrieval" section documenting per-page pool +
  title boost + alias hop + the evidence contract, reconciling the doc with the
  shipped pipeline (closes the doc/reality gap).
- metric-glossary.ts + regenerated METRIC_GLOSSARY.md: Hit@1, Hit@3,
  avg_rank1_score (drift signal, not labeled accuracy), and create_safety
  (the evidence contract) now carry plain-English glossary entries.

* test(eval): NamedThingBench fixture privacy guard via slug-shape (T6 fixup)

The banned-name literal list itself tripped check-privacy/check-test-real-names.
Replace it with the load-bearing assertion: every fixture slug must be an
*-example placeholder (no real brain page can be referenced).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(search): source-isolation in per-page pool + alias hop (P0, codex adversarial)

Codex outside-voice caught two source-isolation P0s in the retrieval wave — the
exact class the v0.34.1 seal guards. Both fixed before merge.

P0-1: buildBestPerPagePoolCte pooled on `slug` alone. In a federated brain, two
pages with the same slug in different sources collapsed before ranking/pagination
(the neighbor-source page dropped). Now DISTINCT ON (COALESCE(source_id,'default'),
slug) — composite key matching dedup.ts's pageKey. Also fixes the PRE-EXISTING
keyword-path bug (best_per_page was slug-only before this wave); real-PG parity 23/23.

P0-2: the alias hop dropped source_id. resolveAliases returned bare slugs and
applyAliasHop hydrated via getPage(slug, undefined), so a federated caller could
get the default-source page injected or the right allowed-source page suppressed.
resolveAliases now returns {slug, source_id} pairs; applyAliasHop matches by
(source_id, slug) and fetches each canonical in its OWN source.

Regression tests: alias hop boosts only the aliased source (not same-slug in
another source); resolveAliases keeps cross-source same-slug distinct.

Deferred as documented tradeoffs (TODO): evidence high_vector_match label uses
blended base_score not pure cosine; deep-pagination candidate budget is
chunk-bounded; telemetry writes swallow errors pre-v109 on rolling deploys.

* fix(ci): restore glossary roster + harden facts-anti-loop hook budget

Two CI failures surfaced after the master merges that brought the branch to
111 migrations:

1. shard 1 — `ALL_METRICS roster > matches the renderer output (no orphans)`:
   the merge took master's `renderMetricGlossaryMarkdown` whose `groups`
   array lacked this branch's 4 retrieval-quality keys (hit@1, hit@3,
   avg_rank1_score, create_safety). `ALL_METRICS` (derived via Object.keys)
   kept them, so the roster test saw 4 orphans. The freshness check
   (check:eval-glossary) passed because renderer-output == committed doc —
   it can't catch a renderer that drops a metric; the roster test can.
   Restored the "Retrieval-Quality / Evidence Metrics (NamedThingBench)"
   group + regenerated docs/eval/METRIC_GLOSSARY.md.

2. shard 2 — facts-anti-loop's two engine-dependent put_page tests failed
   while the two engine-free extractFactsFromTurn tests passed (the
   signature of a partially-failed beforeAll). This file has a documented
   PGLite-cold-start-under-deep-shard-load timeout history; the 30s budget
   was tuned for 95 migrations and the chain is now 111. Bumped to 60s.

* fix(ci): isolate facts-anti-loop in its own process (serial)

Follow-up to the prior hook-timeout bump, which was the wrong theory: the
[58ms]/[71ms] body times in the re-run prove beforeAll did NOT time out —
the engine connects and the two put_page tests run and fail for real, while
the two engine-free extractFactsFromTurn tests in the same file pass.

put_page (via dispatchToolCall) touches process-global singletons (the
facts queue + the AI gateway used by importFromContent's embed step). Some
sibling file in the 78-file shard-2 process leaves residual global state
that makes put_page's pre-backstop path fail on the CI runner. The failure
is NOT reproducible alone, in a Linux oven/bun:1 container, or in a full
local shard-2 run (1172 pass) — only on the GitHub runner, deterministically.

Per CLAUDE.md's test-isolation rules, a test coupled to shared process
state belongs in its own process. Renamed to *.serial.test.ts so it runs
in the dedicated serial-tests job (scripts/run-serial-tests.sh spawns a
fresh `bun test` per serial file), where it passes deterministically;
test-shard.sh excludes serial files from the matrix. Updated the comment
to reflect the real cause and refreshed the test-weights.json key.

* fix(ci): close cross-file gateway-config pollution in test shards

The prior serial-move theory was incomplete. The real, single root cause
behind all three shard failures (2, 5, 10) is cross-file AI-gateway config
pollution within a shard's bun process:

- A test calls configureGateway() and doesn't restore the gateway on exit.
  The legacy-embedding preload pins OpenAI/1536 ONCE at process start and
  re-pins per-test ONLY when the gateway slot is empty — so a leaker that
  reconfigured the gateway to the v0.37 default (zeroentropyai:zembed-1 /
  1280-d) and never reset poisons every later file in the shard.
- Victim A (shard 5, test/search/searchvector-maxpool.test.ts): runs
  initSchema in beforeAll under the leaked gateway → content_chunks.embedding
  becomes vector(1280) → inserting its hardcoded 1536-d basis vectors throws
  pgvector CheckExpectedDim.
- Victims B/C (shard 10 facts-backstop-gating, shard 2 facts-anti-loop):
  put_page's importFromContent embeds by design (embed failure PROPAGATES,
  Codex C2). Under a leaked fake-key gateway the embed step 401s and put_page
  returns isError → the backstop assertions fail.

My branch's shard re-partition (added test files + weight changes) merely
co-located leakers with victims; the hazard was latent.

Fixes (root cause + self-sufficient victims):
- test/search/rerank.test.ts (the shard-5 leaker): add afterAll(resetGateway).
  Its stub omits embedding_model, so it fell back to the ZE/1280 default;
  now it restores the empty slot so the preload re-pins legacy for the next
  file.
- test/search/searchvector-maxpool.test.ts: pin configureGateway(openai/1536)
  in beforeAll BEFORE initSchema (initSchema runs before any preload
  beforeEach, so it can't rely on the inherited slot).
- test/facts-backstop-gating.test.ts + test/facts-anti-loop.test.ts: reset
  the gateway in beforeEach so put_page's embed is a graceful no-op; reverted
  anti-loop from the serial quarantine back into the matrix (the serial move
  was the wrong fix for a gateway-state problem).

Validated deterministically: a non-resetting leaker that poisons the gateway
to ZE, run first in one bun process, no longer breaks any of the three
victims (14/14 pass). verify 29/29, typecheck clean, isolation lint clean.

* fix(sync): accept .tf / .tfvars / .hcl in CODE_EXTENSIONS

Terraform repos were invisible to `gbrain sync --strategy code` because
the three HCL-family extensions never reached the file walker. Silent
data loss — the user thinks the sync covered the repo but the IaC layer
was dropped on the floor.

detectCodeLanguage() returns null for these extensions, so the chunker
falls back to recursive (no tree-sitter grammar for HCL) — the same
path toml/yaml take.

Closes #878.

* fix(upgrade): run `bun update gbrain` from Bun's global install root

`gbrain upgrade --strategy bun` was failing on canonical
`bun install -g github:garrytan/gbrain` installs because `execSync('bun
update gbrain')` ran in the user's shell cwd. Bun's update operates on
whatever package.json it finds via cwd-walk, so a user not standing in
the global root got "No package.json, so nothing to update".

resolveBunGlobalRoot() returns the right directory:
1. `$BUN_INSTALL/install/global` when set (operator override).
2. `~/.bun/install/global` (Bun's documented default).
3. Walk up from realpath(argv[1]) looking for `node_modules/gbrain` —
   handles non-standard installs without trusting argv naming.

execFileSync replaces execSync (no shell), with cwd pinned. Error path
prints the exact `cd && bun update` recovery command instead of a vague
hint.

* fix(config): redact sensitive values in `config set` output (closes #892)

`gbrain config set openai_api_key sk-...` was echoing the full key to
stderr via `console.log('Set %s = %s', key, value)`. Shell scrollback and
tmux scroll buffers commonly retain stderr for hours; a screen-share or
shoulder-glance during set leaked the secret.

The `show` path already redacted but used a naive `.includes('key')`
substring check that would mask 'monkey' or 'parsekey' (no false-negative
but ugly).

Single source of truth: `isSensitiveConfigKey()` uses a word-boundary
regex (`(^|[._-])(key|secret|token|password|pwd|passwd|auth)([._-]|$)/i`)
so 'openai_api_key' matches but 'monkey' doesn't. `redactConfigValue()`
composes the postgresql:// URL redactor + sensitive-key check, used by
both `show` and `set`. Helpers exported for unit tests.

Closes #892. Cherry-pick of @sharziki's PR #918 (config.ts hunk only —
the extract.ts walker change in that PR is unrelated and tracked in #202).

* fix(oauth): throw InvalidTokenError so bearerAuth returns 401, not 500

`verifyAccessToken` was throwing bare `Error` on expired or invalid
tokens. The MCP SDK's `requireBearerAuth` middleware catches
`InvalidTokenError` and returns 401 with WWW-Authenticate; bare Error
falls through to 500. Result: legitimate clients with stale tokens hit
500-not-401, so token-refresh logic (which keys off 401) never fires.

Two call sites in verifyAccessToken: token-expired path and
invalid-token path. Both now throw InvalidTokenError. Existing tests
continue to pass because they assert on the throw, not the message class.

Closes #935. Cherry-picked from PR #1012.

* fix(serve): return 405 on GET /mcp instead of 404

MCP Streamable HTTP spec says GET /mcp opens an optional SSE backchannel
for server-initiated messages. gbrain's transport is stateless and
doesn't push server-initiated messages, so per spec we MUST return 405
with Allow: POST, DELETE — not 404. Probing clients (claude.ai, etc.)
distinguish "endpoint exists, no SSE channel" from "endpoint missing"
on this status code; 404 makes them give up.

* fix(doctor): resolve whoknows fixture from module location, not cwd

`gbrain doctor` warned about a missing whoknows fixture for every install
that wasn't standing in the gbrain source repo at run time — which is
everyone. The check used `process.cwd()` to locate the fixture, so any
real user (running doctor against `~/.gbrain`) saw a spurious warning.

`resolveWhoknowsFixturePath()` walks up from `import.meta.url` looking
for the source-repo signature (`src/cli.ts` + `skills/RESOLVER.md`),
respects `GBRAIN_WHOKNOWS_FIXTURE_PATH` env override (absolute or
cwd-relative), and returns null with an actionable warning when the
fixture can't be located.

* fix(frontmatter): centralize --fix backups under ~/.gbrain/backups/

`gbrain frontmatter validate --fix` and `gbrain frontmatter generate
--fix` wrote `<file>.bak` siblings into the source tree. Users running
gbrain over a brain repo found .bak files scattered through people/,
companies/, etc. that broke gitignore expectations and showed up in
`git status` after every fix pass.

Backups now land under `~/.gbrain/backups/frontmatter/<run-id>/<rel>.bak`
with an iso-week-sorted run-id so a multi-fix session keeps the same
parent directory. Backup directory + per-file structure mirrored from
the original file's relative path. The .bak safety contract is intact
for both git and non-git brain repos.

Also adds `--include-catch-all` opt-in to `frontmatter generate` so the
default catch-all rule (`type: note`) is no longer applied to arbitrary
workspace documents that happen to live under a brain root.

* fix(config): use path.isAbsolute() for GBRAIN_HOME on Windows

The GBRAIN_HOME validator rejected every valid Windows path (`C:\\Users\\...`,
`D:\\gbrain`, etc.) because it used `trimmed.startsWith('/')` to check for
absoluteness — only POSIX absolute paths pass that. `path.isAbsolute()` is
the cross-platform check.

Same fix for the `..` traversal check: split on both `/` and `\` so
Windows path separators don't sneak `..` through.

* fix(ai): warn only for the configured embedding provider, not all recipes

Gateway construction was warning on stderr for every recipe with an
embedding touchpoint missing max_batch_tokens — including providers the
brain isn't using. Users on Voyage saw noise about OpenAI / Google /
DashScope / etc. recipes that never get loaded.

Filter the warning to recipes whose provider id is referenced by
`embedding_model` or `embedding_multimodal_model` in the active config.
The structural protection against forgetting max_batch_tokens stays in
place for the recipes that actually run; the noise for unrelated recipes
goes away.

* fix(sync): skip git pull when repo has no origin remote

`gbrain sync` ran `git pull` unconditionally and printed scary stderr
on every cycle for brains that have no `origin` remote (local-only
workflows, single-machine setups, brains initialized via `gbrain init
--pglite` against an arbitrary directory). The pull failed harmlessly
but the noise was confusing and made operators think sync was broken.

`hasOriginRemote()` probes `git remote get-url origin` with stdio
ignored; on failure (`no such remote`), skip the pull, print a single
informational line, and proceed with the local working tree.

* fix(query): drain cache writes before CLI exit

The query cache write was fired with `void promise.catch(...)` — true
fire-and-forget. On a fast CLI invocation (`gbrain query <q>` exits in
~50ms), the process terminates before the cache write commits. Result:
the cache effectively never warms from CLI use; every query is a miss.

`awaitPendingSearchCacheWrites()` tracks each in-flight cache write in a
module-level Set. The CLI dispatcher awaits the set after `query`
finishes formatting output but before the process exits. MCP server path
unchanged (long-lived process, fire-and-forget remains correct).

* fix(backlinks): dedupe (source, target) pairs within a single source page

A source page that mentions the same entity N times produced N
duplicate "Referenced in" lines on the target. `extractEntityRefs`
returns one EntityRef per occurrence, and the per-ref `hasBacklink`
check reads a snapshot of `target.content` that's frozen at outer
scope — so every iteration sees "no backlink yet" and appends another
gap. The cumulative effect on a long meeting note with multiple
mentions of the same person was visible in PRs landing 3-5 identical
Timeline entries.

Track seen target slugs per source page; cap gaps at one pair.

* fix(dream): audit backlinks without mutating pages during cycle

The dream/autopilot maintenance cycle ran the backlinks phase in 'fix'
mode, which writes "Referenced in" timeline bullets into entity pages
every sync. The graph extractor + auto-link path is the canonical link
store during sync/dream/autopilot — the legacy filesystem fixer wrote
markdown that fought with both the user's manual edits and the graph
layer's own timeline.

Cycle now runs backlinks in 'check' mode (audit-only); the materializer
remains available via `gbrain check-backlinks fix` for users who really
want markdown backlinks committed to disk.

* fix(autopilot --install): source ~/.zshenv before zshrc/bashrc

zshenv is the canonical place for env vars in zsh on macOS — zshrc is
sourced only for interactive shells, so vars exported in zshrc don't
reach a non-interactive subprocess like the autopilot wrapper. Users
who exported GBRAIN_DATABASE_URL, OPENAI_API_KEY, or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
in zshrc and assumed autopilot would inherit them hit silent missing-
secret failures on the LaunchAgent.

Source ~/.zshenv first (always reaches non-interactive shells per zsh
docs), then fall back to ~/.zshrc / ~/.bashrc for users on other
profile conventions.

* fix(apply-migrations): return exit 0 on list/dry-run/up-to-date

`gbrain apply-migrations list`, `gbrain apply-migrations --dry-run`, and
the "All migrations up to date" path were returning from the async
function but never calling `process.exit(0)`. The CLI dispatcher in
cli.ts treated the implicit fall-through as exit 1 when the parent
process inspected status via shell scripts, breaking automation that
gates on `apply-migrations list && do-something`.

Three call sites: list, dry-run, and the no-op path. All three now
exit(0) explicitly.

* fix(sync): scope auto-embed to source on incremental syncs

`gbrain sync --source-id X` triggered auto-embed for the affected slugs
but `runEmbed` ran with no `--source` flag, so it fell back to the
default source. For non-default-source syncs the page row lives at
(sourceId, slug) — the embed code saw "Page not found" for the right
slug under the wrong source, swallowed the error as best-effort, and
the sync result reported `embedded: 0` for the wrong reason.

`buildAutoEmbedArgs(slugs, sourceId)` is the new helper: when sourceId
is set, prepends `--source X`. Exported for the regression test.

Pairs with the upcoming source-id write-path audit (P1 #8). Cherry-picked

* fix(query): honor source_id with no-expand for cross-source search

Two related corrections:

1. `gbrain query --no-expand` parsed `--no-expand` as the literal key
   `no_expand` instead of negating the boolean `expand` param. Result:
   the flag was silently ignored and expansion always ran. Now any
   `--no-<key>` where `<key>` is a boolean param flips it false.

2. The `query` op's source-id resolution treated `ctx.sourceId` as
   authoritative, so an explicit per-call `source_id` was overridden by
   the federated read scope. Now per-call `source_id` wins;
   `source_id=__all__` is an explicit opt-out for local cross-source
   search.

* fix(doctor): child-table orphan detection (closes #1063)

The autopilot orphans phase detects orphan PAGES (no inbound links via
page-graph) but never scans FK-child tables. After a bulk delete or a
pre-FK-migration code path, orphan rows can persist indefinitely in
content_chunks, page_versions, tags, takes, raw_data, timeline_entries,
or links — all declared ON DELETE CASCADE, so any orphan row is
unexpected.

`childTableOrphansCheck` enumerates 10 FK columns across 8 tables:
- 8 NOT NULL columns (cascade): any value not in pages.id is an orphan.
- 2 nullable SET NULL columns (links.origin_page_id, files.page_id):
  NULL is valid; only NOT-NULL-but-missing-in-pages counts.

Surfaces paste-ready cleanup SQL when orphans are found.

* fix(autopilot,cycle): stop respawn-storm from steady-state 'partial' cycles

Two compounding bugs under KeepAlive=true:

1. Autopilot tripped its circuit breaker on cycle.status === 'partial',
   not just 'failed'. 'partial' means at least one phase warned/failed
   while others ran — a soft signal, not fatal. On every cycle that
   warned, autopilot logged a failure and the supervisor respawned the
   worker.

2. The orphans phase emitted 'warn' when `count > 20` orphan pages.
   That threshold was tuned for small dev brains; on any corpus past a
   few hundred pages it fires every cycle in steady state. Together
   with bug 1, this produced visible respawn storms.

Fix:
- Autopilot trips only on cycle.status === 'failed'.
- Orphans phase warns by ratio: orphans / total_pages > 0.5 (the real
  "your graph fell apart" signal), not by absolute count.

* fix(ai): reject partial embedding responses before indexing

`embedSubBatch` only validated the FIRST embedding's dimension and never
asserted the response length matched the input length. If a provider
returned fewer embeddings than requested (rate-limit truncation,
malformed response, etc.), the gateway silently indexed an offset-shifted
result — every page after the missing index got the embedding of a
different page's chunk.

Two new guards:
1. `result.embeddings.length === texts.length` — fail loud if any count
   mismatch, with a paste-ready retry hint.
2. Validate dim on EVERY embedding, not just the first.

client_credentials and ignored grantTypes, redirectUris, and
tokenEndpointAuthMethod. Result: you couldn't register a browser-based
PKCE client (claude.ai Custom Connector, Cursor, etc.) through the
dashboard — only confidential machine-to-machine clients worked.

Pass grantTypes / redirectUris through to registerClientManual. When
tokenEndpointAuthMethod === 'none', NULL out client_secret_hash so the

would otherwise reject the no-secret PKCE flow.

* fix(extract-facts): treat slugs:[] as no-op, not unscoped full-walk

`runExtractFacts` checked `opts.slugs && opts.slugs.length > 0` to
decide between scoped and full-brain walk. Both `undefined` (caller
omits → full walk intended) AND `[]` (sync no-op → zero work intended)
fall through to the same `else` branch and triggered
`engine.getAllSlugs()`.

On a multi-thousand-page brain, the unintended full walk exceeded
the autopilot-cycle ~600s timeout and dead-lettered the job — visible
in production as `[cycle.extract_facts] start` followed by silence
until `Autopilot stopping (cycle-failure-cap)`.

Use presence (`opts.slugs !== undefined`), not truthiness, to
distinguish the two modes. Empty array is a real incremental no-op.

Closes #1096. Three regression cases in test/extract-facts-phase.test.ts:
slugs=[] no-op, slugs=undefined still walks, slugs=['a'] walks just one.

* fix(serve): embed admin/dist into binary; serve from manifest (closes #1090)

Pre-fix, /admin returned 404 on every globally-installed binary because
serve-http.ts:780 resolved admin/dist via process.cwd(). The admin SPA
files are checked into git but `bun build --compile` does NOT embed
arbitrary directories — only assets imported via `with { type: 'file' }`
ESM imports land in the compiled binary.

Wire:

- scripts/build-admin-embedded.ts walks admin/dist/, emits
  src/admin-embedded.ts with one `with { type: 'file' }` import per
  file + a manifest map (request path → resolved path + mime).
  Auto-invoked by `bun run build:admin`.

- src/admin-embedded.ts is the auto-generated module. Bun resolves
  every file: import to a path that works at runtime inside the
  compiled binary (same pattern as src/core/chunkers/code.ts WASM
  imports).

- serve-http.ts switches to two-tier resolution: cwd-relative
  admin/dist for dev (Vite hot-rebuild), embedded manifest otherwise.
  Embedded path reads bytes lazily and caches per-asset for the
  lifetime of the process.

- scripts/check-admin-embedded.sh CI gate re-runs the generator and
  fails on drift (mirrors check-wasm-embedded.sh). PRs that rebuild
  admin/dist but forget to regenerate the embedded module fail loud.

- package.json wires build:admin-embedded + check:admin-embedded.

Closes #1090.

* test(source-id): lock in routing regression coverage (closes #891 #978 #1078)

Audit of every page write path (sync, embed, extract, dream, autopilot,
wikilinks, tags, chunks) confirmed that sourceId already threads
correctly through importFromContent → engine.putPage → SQL INSERT
since v0.18.0. The original bug reports from #891, #978, #1078 were
real at the time and got swept by the multi-source refactor; today's
master is correct.

This commit locks in that correctness with six PGLite regression cases
(no Postgres fixture needed; runs in CI everywhere):

1. importFromContent({sourceId:"work"}) lands at source_id=work, not
   the silent 'default' fallback.
2. Two sources hold the same slug independently.
3. Omitting sourceId falls through to 'default' (legacy contract).
4. Chunks land under the requested source.
5. Tags land under the requested source.
6. FK integrity smoke (originally #1078).

The earlier issue reports stay closed by the existing threading; this
suite ensures any future refactor of the write path can't silently
re-introduce the wrong-source-default bug. The 90-minute write-path
audit budget from the plan resolves here.

* fix(apply-migrations): unblock PGLite chain (closes #1100)

`gbrain apply-migrations --yes` was wedging on the v0.11.0 (Minions)
schema phase for PGLite installs. Two compounding bugs:

1. `apply-migrations` pre-flight schema-version warning connects to
   PGLite to read config.version, then disconnects. The brief lock
   hold races with downstream subprocess spawns that try to re-acquire
   it; the 30s lock timeout fires before the parent fully releases.
   Pre-flight is a *warning*; on PGLite it adds no information the
   orchestrators don't already handle. Skip the probe for PGLite.

2. v0.11.0 phase A spawned `gbrain init --migrate-only` as an execSync
   subprocess to apply schema migrations. PGLite is single-writer;
   the subprocess inherits HOME and tries to lock the same DB. On
   Postgres this works (concurrent connections OK); on PGLite it
   deadlocks. Route in-process for PGLite — create + connect +
   initSchema + disconnect directly, skipping the subprocess hop.
   Postgres keeps the legacy execSync path.

Verified: fresh PGLite install now walks the full migration chain
through v0.32.2 (Facts SoR) and lands "All migrations up to date" on
re-run.

Closes #1100.

* fix(serve): bootstrap token env override + suppress flag (closes #1024)

`gbrain serve --http` regenerated the admin bootstrap token on every
restart and printed it to stderr. In supervisor-managed production
deployments (LaunchAgent, systemd, k8s) every restart leaks the value
into log aggregators and rotates the access for any agent that paste-
copied it.

Two new knobs:

- **GBRAIN_ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN** env var: when set, used as the
  bootstrap secret instead of a fresh per-process token. Validated:
  must match `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{32,}$` (32-char minimum), else refuse to
  start with a paste-ready generator hint. Failing closed beats
  silently accepting a weak token.

- **--suppress-bootstrap-token** CLI flag: suppresses the printed
  token line entirely. Operator takes responsibility for tracking the
  value out-of-band.

Startup banner now reflects the chosen source:
- `Admin Token: suppressed` when the flag is set.
- `Admin Token: from $GBRAIN_ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN` when env-sourced.
- Full token print only when both are absent (default behavior, dev
  installs).

Closes #1024.

* fix(config): migrate legacy 'provider' + 'model' to 'embedding_model'

Pre-v0.32 docs and some community templates used a config shape:

  { "provider": "voyage", "model": "voyage-4-large" }

The canonical shape (since the v0.31.12 gateway seam) is:

  { "embedding_model": "voyage:voyage-4-large" }

Users on the legacy shape hit silent fallthrough to the hardcoded
OpenAI default; sync + embed errored out with "OpenAI embedding
requires OPENAI_API_KEY" regardless of their actual provider config.

loadConfig() now translates the legacy keys at parse time:
- emits a one-line stderr nudge with the paste-ready canonical key
- preserves the rest of the config unchanged
- skipped when `embedding_model` is already set (forward-compat)

Closes #1086.

* chore(test): quarantine upgrade tests (process.env mutation)

PR #1032's cherry-picked tests use the static-snapshot + try/finally
pattern for env vars instead of the project's withEnv() helper. The
test-isolation lint catches process.env mutations outside withEnv to
prevent cross-test leakage in parallel runs.

Renaming to *.serial.test.ts (the quarantine convention) is the
documented out: runs sequentially, no cross-file race. A future cleanup
PR can migrate the tests to withEnv() and drop the quarantine.

* fix(test): update brain-writer .bak assertion for centralized backup path

The v0.36.x frontmatter backup change (bd60cdf6closes #902) moved
.bak files from sibling-of-source to ~/.gbrain/backups/frontmatter/...
The old test still asserted on the sibling path, so CI failed even
though the production behavior was correct.

Updated assertion contract: backup lands under the injected backupRoot
(test-isolated), the returned backupPath ends in .bak and exists, and
no sibling .bak is created next to the source file. The pre-fix
sibling-path is now a negative assertion.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.36.1.0)

* test(fix-wave): close test gaps surfaced by post-ship audit

After the fix-wave shipped, an audit found 11 commits with no new test
file. Some were inherently structural (build pipelines, shell content)
or had existing test coverage that worked either way; others had real
regression risk with no guard. This commit closes the gaps that matter.

New regression tests for:

- OAuth `verifyAccessToken` throws `InvalidTokenError` (not bare Error)
  on both expired and unknown token paths. Pre-fix, the SDK's
  `requireBearerAuth` middleware fell through to 500 instead of 401 →
  client token-refresh logic never fired (#935).

- `loadConfig` translates legacy `{provider, model}` config shape to
  the canonical `embedding_model: <provider>:<model>`. 3 cases: pure
  legacy → migrated; canonical wins over legacy when both present;
  canonical-only is untouched. Pre-fix, Voyage/Cohere/Mistral users
  silently fell through to OpenAI (#1086).

- `configDir` rejects relative paths; rejects `..` segments via both
  separators (regression guard for the Windows path acceptance fix
  #1019 / cherry-pick #1083).

- `resolveBootstrapToken` (new exported helper extracted from
  `runServeHttp`). 9 cases: unset env generates fresh, valid env
  accepted, hyphens/underscores accepted, < 32 chars rejected, special
  chars rejected, whitespace trimmed, empty string rejected, 32-char
  boundary accepted, 31-char one-short rejected. Security-critical
  validation surface (#1024).

- GET /mcp returns 405 with `Allow: POST, DELETE` (E2E case in
  `serve-http-oauth.test.ts`). Pre-fix, claude.ai and other probing
  MCP clients saw 404 and gave up (#1076).

- apply-migrations `process.exit(0)` on list / dry-run / up-to-date
  paths. Source-shape assertion locks the rule in; shell scripts
  gating on `$?` work (#1062).

- Autopilot wrapper sources `~/.zshenv` BEFORE `~/.zshrc`. zshenv is
  the canonical place for env vars in non-interactive zsh; without
  this ordering, LaunchAgent subprocesses never inherit secrets
  exported in zshrc (#966).

- `test/fix-wave-structural.test.ts` consolidates source-shape
  regression guards for fixes whose behavior is hard to runtime-test
  without heavy mocking: query cache drain (#1125), admin embed
  manifest + handler (#1090), admin register-client PKCE branch
  (#1077), PGLite v0.11.0 phase A in-process routing (#1100), query
  `--no-expand` negation (#1124). 9 source-grep assertions.

Refactored `runServeHttp` to extract `resolveBootstrapToken` as a pure
helper. The boot path now consumes the helper's tagged-union result
({kind:'ok'|'error'}); side effects (`process.exit`, `console.error`)
moved to the caller. Unit-testable without spinning up Express.

Test counts: oauth 71 (was 69), config 20 (was 14), apply-migrations
19 (was 18), autopilot-install 5 (was 4), serve-http-bootstrap-token
9 (new file), fix-wave-structural 9 (new file). Net: +28 cases across
6 files; +1 new exported function with full coverage.

Remaining audit gaps (deferred):
- e82dda0a admin embed E2E (post-deploy curl smoke covers this)
- d93fa81d apply-migrations PGLite chain E2E (already smoke-tested
  manually in the original commit; subprocess test would be flaky in
  CI without DATABASE_URL gating)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: close the two deferred E2E gaps from the post-ship audit

Both gaps now have real behavior coverage. No DATABASE_URL needed (PGLite
engine), so they run in standard unit CI alongside the rest of the suite.
Serial quarantine because both spawn subprocesses + bind ports / write
tmpdirs.

test/admin-embed-spawn.serial.test.ts (4 cases, ~6s wall-clock):
  - Spawns `gbrain serve --http` from a fresh tmpdir so `process.cwd()/
    admin/dist` does not exist — this forces the embedded-manifest
    branch (the one under test). Pre-fix, this exact setup hit 404.
  - GET /admin/ → 200 + SPA shell HTML (title + #root div), content-type
    text/html.
  - GET /admin/index.html → same body via explicit path.
  - GET /admin/agents → SPA fallback returns index.html for deep links.
  - GET /admin/api/stats → NOT 200 (regression guard: SPA fallback must
    not swallow /admin/api/* routes and silently return HTML to a JSON
    client). Closes #1090.

test/apply-migrations-pglite-spawn.serial.test.ts (3 cases, ~25s):
  - Seeds a fresh PGLite config in a tmpdir, runs `gbrain init
    --migrate-only` + `gbrain apply-migrations --yes --non-interactive`.
    Pre-fix this hit "GBrain: Timed out waiting for PGLite lock" because
    apply-migrations' pre-flight probe + v0.11.0's phase A subprocess
    both wanted the single-writer lock.
  - Asserts exit 0, no "Timed out" string, no "Phase A failed" string,
    brain.pglite file written.
  - Re-run case: idempotent — "All migrations up to date" exits 0
    (also locks in the #1062 exit-code fix end-to-end).
  - --list path exits 0 (third leg of the #1062 contract).
  Closes #1100.

Pinned bootstrap token via GBRAIN_ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN env so the
admin test doesn't have to scrape stderr; the startup banner format
is allowed to drift, the /health probe is the readiness contract.

* fix(test): consolidate PGLite spawn test to one end-to-end pass

CI failed on test/apply-migrations-pglite-spawn.serial.test.ts (Ubuntu,
bun 1.3.14). The previous shape ran 3 tests × ~3 spawns each. Each
`bun run /abs/src/cli.ts` from a tmpdir cwd pays a full parse/transpile
cost (no near-cwd .bun cache); on Ubuntu CI that compounds past the
runner's per-test budget.

Consolidated to ONE test that exercises the full lifecycle in one
brain: init --migrate-only → apply-migrations --yes → re-run → --list.

Four spawns instead of eight. Local wall-clock: 32s → 11.5s. All four
assertion buckets preserved: no PGLite lock timeout, no Phase A
failure, brain.pglite written, idempotent re-run "All migrations up
to date" exits 0 (#1062 end-to-end), --list exits 0.

Per-test timeout 480_000ms as insurance against the runner's
--timeout=60000 default (bun's API spec: per-test wins).

* test(diag): dump apply-migrations output when CI exit != 0

The PGLite spawn test passes locally on macOS/bun 1.3.13 in ~11s
end-to-end but fails on Ubuntu/bun 1.3.14 in 4.92s with apply.exitCode
= 1 — fast enough that something is failing early, not timing out.
The runCli helper captured stdout+stderr but never printed them, so
the CI log only showed the bare assertion failure.

This commit prints the captured streams from BOTH init and apply
when the exit code mismatches expectation. After the next CI run we
can read the actual error message and diagnose the Ubuntu-specific
failure mode (likely BUN_INSTALL / HOME / PGLite WASM env quirk).
No behavior change; pure diagnostic output gate on failure.

* fix(test): shim `gbrain` on PATH for PGLite spawn test

Root cause of the Ubuntu CI failure: the v0.11.0 orchestrator's phase B
runs `execSync('gbrain jobs smoke')`. PGLite phase A now routes
in-process (the #1100 fix), but phase B and several follow-up phases
still shell out to the `gbrain` binary on PATH. Locally the binary
resolves via `bun link`; on CI Ubuntu it does not exist on PATH, so
execSync exits 127 → orchestrator returns 'failed' → apply-migrations
exits 1. Test failed at 4.92s with exitCode=1, well before any timeout.

Verified locally by removing ~/.bun/bin/gbrain to simulate CI:
  pre-shim:  apply.exitCode=1 (same as CI)
  post-shim: apply.exitCode=0 in 8.4s

The shim writes a tiny `gbrain` executable to a tmpdir that just
`exec`s `bun run <repo>/src/cli.ts "$@"`. Prepended to PATH for the
spawned subprocesses. Mirrors the production contract (gbrain on
PATH) without depending on `bun link` having run in the CI image.

Diagnostic dump from the previous commit stays — useful insurance for
the next time something silently fails inside a spawned binary.

736e8de1ec v0.25.0 feat: BrainBench-Real session capture + public-exports contract test (#437)
* feat(v0.22.0): eval_candidates + eval_capture_failures schema (Lane 1A)

R1 substrate for BrainBench-Real, replayed onto master after Cathedral II
landed. Migration v30 (slotted after master's v25-v29 Cathedral II wave)
creates two tables:

  eval_candidates: per-call capture of MCP/CLI/subagent query+search
    traffic. Column set lets gbrain-evals replay with full fidelity —
    source_ids from v0.18 multi-source, vector_enabled/detail_resolved/
    expansion_applied so replay knows what hybridSearch actually did,
    remote + job_id + subagent_id so rows are traceable to their origin.
    query is CHECK-capped at 50KB; PII scrubber (Lane 1B) runs before insert.

  eval_capture_failures: cross-process audit trail. In-process counters
    don't work because `gbrain doctor` runs in a separate process from
    the MCP server. Persistent rows let doctor query capture health via
    COUNT(*) GROUP BY reason over the last 24h.

Both tables get RLS on Postgres gated on BYPASSRLS (matches v24/v29
posture). PGLite ignores RLS; sqlFor split carries only DDL.

5 new BrainEngine methods (breaking-interface addition, drives v0.22.0
minor bump): logEvalCandidate, listEvalCandidates,
deleteEvalCandidatesBefore, logEvalCaptureFailure, listEvalCaptureFailures.
listEvalCandidates uses ORDER BY created_at DESC, id DESC so
`gbrain eval export` is deterministic across same-millisecond inserts.

Also adds HybridSearchMeta type for the side-channel callback used by
Lane 1C's op-layer capture (no change to hybridSearch return shape —
that respects Cathedral II's existing SearchResult[] contract).

Tests: 14 PGLite round-trip cases + 8 v30 structural assertions.

* feat(v0.22.0): PII scrubber + op-layer capture module (Lane 1B)

Replayed onto master post-Cathedral II. Same semantics as the original
v0.21.0 work — only adjusted to import HybridSearchMeta from types.ts
(canonical home) instead of redeclaring it locally.

src/core/eval-capture-scrub.ts — pure-function regex scrubber with 6
pattern families: emails, phones (US + E.164), SSN (year-aware),
Luhn-verified credit cards, JWT-shaped tokens, bearer tokens. Zero
deps. Adversarial-input safe.

src/core/eval-capture.ts — op-layer hook helper:
  - buildEvalCandidateInput(ctx, {scrub_pii}) — pure row builder
  - classifyCaptureFailure(err) — Postgres SQLSTATE → reason tag
  - captureEvalCandidate(engine, ctx, opts) — best-effort, never throws
  - isEvalCaptureEnabled / isEvalScrubEnabled — file-plane config checks

GBrainConfig gains `eval?: {capture?, scrub_pii?}`. Both default ON.
File-plane only — `gbrain config set` writes the DB plane, doesn't
control capture.

Tests: 17 scrubber + 21 capture-module cases. Zero regressions.

* feat(v0.22.0): hybridSearch onMeta callback + op-layer capture (Lane 1C)

Replayed onto master. Adapted from the original v0.21.0 work to keep
Cathedral II's contract intact: hybridSearch's return stays
`Promise<SearchResult[]>` (unchanged), and meta surfaces via an optional
`onMeta?: (meta: HybridSearchMeta) => void` callback in HybridSearchOpts.

Cathedral II callers leave onMeta undefined and pay no cost. The
op-layer capture wrapper passes a closure that threads meta into the
captured row so gbrain-evals can distinguish:
  - "with OPENAI_API_KEY" vs "keyword-only fallback" (vector_enabled)
  - "expansion fired" vs "expansion requested + silently fell back" (expansion_applied)
  - what hybridSearch actually used after auto-detect (detail_resolved)

Op-layer capture wired into both `query` and `search` op handlers in
src/core/operations.ts. Single hook site catches MCP dispatch + CLI +
subagent tool-bridge from the same place. Fire-and-forget, never throws,
respects ctx.config.eval.capture off-switch.

Tests:
  - test/hybrid-meta.test.ts (8 cases) — onMeta accuracy across the 4
    return paths in hybridSearch + verification that omitting onMeta
    leaves Cathedral II callers unchanged.
  - test/mcp-eval-capture.test.ts (10 cases) — query/search ops capture
    correctly with MCP/CLI/subagent contexts, scrub on/off, capture=false
    off-switch, non-captured ops (list_pages, get_page), F1 failure
    isolation.

* feat(v0.22.0): gbrain eval export/prune + doctor eval_capture check (Lane 1D)

Replayed onto master. Same semantics as the original v0.21.0 work.

CLI:
  gbrain eval export [--since DUR] [--limit N] [--tool query|search]
    NDJSON to stdout, every row prefixed with "schema_version":1 per
    docs/eval-capture.md contract. EPIPE-safe streaming, stderr
    heartbeats, deterministic ordering (created_at DESC, id DESC).

  gbrain eval prune --older-than DUR [--dry-run]
    Explicit retention cleanup. Requires --older-than (never deletes
    without a window). Duration strings: 30d, 7d, 1h, 90m, 3600s.

Legacy bare `gbrain eval --qrels …` still works via sub-subcommand
fall-through.

gbrain doctor gains an eval_capture check between markdown_body_completeness
and queue_health: reads eval_capture_failures for the last 24h, groups by
reason, warns when non-zero. Pre-v30 brains get "Skipped (table
unavailable)" — non-fatal.

docs/eval-capture.md ships the stable NDJSON schema reference for
gbrain-evals consumers.

Tests: 9 export cases + 5 prune cases. Doctor check covered by
existing doctor tests on master.

* feat(v0.22.0): public-exports contract test + CI count guard (Lane 2 / R2)

Master locks 17 public subpath exports as gbrain's stable third-party
contract. Zero enforcement existed. This PR locks the surface in two
layers:

1. test/public-exports.test.ts — runtime contract test.
   Reads package.json "exports" at startup. For each subpath, imports
   via the package name ("gbrain/engine"), NOT the relative filesystem
   path — that's the difference between exercising the actual resolver
   and bypassing it. Every subpath gets a canary symbol pinned (e.g.
   gbrain/search/hybrid must export hybridSearch + rrfFusion) so a
   refactor that renames or removes one fails CI before downstream
   consumers (gbrain-evals) silently break.

2. scripts/check-exports-count.sh — CI structural guard.
   Wired into `bun test` after check-jsonb-pattern.sh +
   check-progress-to-stdout.sh + check-wasm-embedded.sh per master's
   precedent. EXPECTED_COUNT=17 baseline — shrinks fail loudly,
   growth also fails so the new canary must be pinned in the runtime
   test deliberately.

* docs+e2e(v0.22.0): VERSION/CHANGELOG/CLAUDE/README + Postgres E2E (Lane 3)

Bump VERSION + package.json to 0.22.0 (next free slot after master's
v0.21.0 Code Cathedral II minor).

CHANGELOG.md v0.22.0 entry follows the Garry voice template:
  - Bold 2-line headline
  - Lead paragraph contextualizing v0.20 + v0.21 + v0.22 progression
  - Numbers-that-matter table comparing v0.21.0 → v0.22.0
  - "What this means for you" sectioned by audience
  - "## To take advantage of v0.22.0" operator runbook
  - Itemized changes

CLAUDE.md updates:
  - Key files: 8 new module entries (eval-capture*, eval-export,
    eval-prune, docs/eval-capture.md, public-exports test).
    hybrid.ts entry rewritten to reflect the additive `onMeta` callback
    (return shape unchanged).
  - Key commands: new v0.22.0 section for `gbrain eval export`,
    `gbrain eval prune`, and the doctor `eval_capture` check, with the
    file-plane vs DB-plane config gotcha called out.

README.md: one-paragraph pointer after the BrainBench blurb so anyone
reading the landing page sees the new session-capture feature.

llms.txt + llms-full.txt regenerated to pick up the doc additions.

test/e2e/eval-capture.test.ts (Postgres-only E1 spec):
  - CHECK violation surfaces as Postgres SQLSTATE 23514 on oversize input
  - RLS is actually enabled on both eval_candidates + eval_capture_failures
  - 50 concurrent logEvalCandidate calls — no deadlock, all distinct IDs

Skips gracefully when DATABASE_URL is unset.

* docs(todos): P0 — PGLite test-runner concurrency flake

Pre-existing on master, surfaces ~27 false failures when bun test runs all
174 files together. Each failing file passes in isolation. Tracked for a
dedicated investigation branch.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(v0.22.0): adversarial review post-fixes (doctor RLS, onMeta safety)

Two surgical fixes from /ship adversarial review, plus 6 follow-ups TODO'd
into v0.22.1:

- doctor.ts: distinguish pre-v30 missing-table (42P01, ok skip) from
  RLS-denied SELECT (42501, warn) and other DB errors (warn). The check
  exists specifically to surface capture-failure misconfigs cross-process,
  so silently reporting "ok / skipped" on the most diagnostic class
  defeated the purpose.

- hybrid.ts: wrap onMeta invocation in try/catch via small emitMeta
  helper. The callback is part of the public gbrain/search/hybrid
  contract; a throwing user-supplied closure must never break the search
  hot path.

- TODOS.md: 6 P1 follow-ups (eval prune real COUNT, scrubber CC false
  positives, dead 'scrubber_exception' enum value, id-cursor for
  cross-window dedup, public-export canary pinning, EXPECTED_COUNT dedup).

- TODOS.md: P0 entry for the pre-existing PGLite test-runner concurrency
  flake (~27 false failures in full bun test on master).

- CHANGELOG.md: 2 bullets noting the doctor + onMeta hardening.

* chore(version): bump v0.22.0 → v0.25.0 (queue-aware version pick)

Master is at v0.21.0. Open PRs claim v0.21.1 (#432) and v0.24.0 (#387).
v0.25 is the first uncontested slot, so this branch claims it. Pure
rename across VERSION, package.json, CHANGELOG header, and every "v0.22.0"
reference in CLAUDE.md / README.md / TODOS.md / docs/eval-capture.md /
src/ / test/ files. CHANGELOG date bumped to 2026-04-26.

llms.txt + llms-full.txt regenerated.

* feat(v0.25.0): gbrain eval replay + contributor doc + CONTRIBUTING link

Closes the gap between "session capture works" (this PR's core) and
"contributors actually use it before merging." Three artifacts:

- src/commands/eval-replay.ts (~340 LOC) — reads NDJSON from `gbrain eval
  export`, re-runs each captured query/search against the current brain,
  computes set-Jaccard@k, top-1 stability, and latency delta. Stable JSON
  shape (schema_version:1) for CI gating; human mode prints a regression
  table sorted worst-first. Pure Bun, zero new deps. Stub-engine tests
  cover Jaccard math, NDJSON parser (including v2 forward-compat
  rejection + line-numbered errors), --limit, --verbose, --json, and
  graceful per-row error handling. 16/16 passing.

- docs/eval-bench.md (~80 lines) — contributor guide. The 4-command loop
  (export → change → replay → diff), metric definitions with healthy
  ranges (Jaccard ≥0.85, top-1 ≥85%, latency Δ within ±50ms), trigger
  paths, CI integration snippet, hand-crafted NDJSON corpus path for
  fresh installs, and the off-switch. Pairs with the existing
  docs/eval-capture.md which is the consumer-facing wire format.

- CONTRIBUTING.md gains a "Running real-world eval benchmarks (touching
  retrieval code)" section with the trigger paths and a link to
  docs/eval-bench.md. Reviewers now have a one-line ask: "did you run
  replay?"

CLAUDE.md key files updated. CHANGELOG bullets added. llms.txt
regenerated.

* feat(v0.25.0): CONTRIBUTOR_MODE flag — capture off by default for users

Eval capture was on for everyone in the v0.25.0 draft. Privacy footgun:
end users had retrieval traffic accumulate in their brain DB without
asking, even with PII scrubbing. Flips to off by default + explicit
opt-in for contributors who actually use the replay loop.

Resolution order in isEvalCaptureEnabled():
  1. config.eval.capture === true            → on
  2. config.eval.capture === false           → off
  3. process.env.GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE === '1' → on
  4. otherwise                                → off

The env var is the contributor-facing toggle (one line in .zshrc, no
JSON edit). Explicit config wins both directions for users who want to
override per-brain.

PII scrubbing gate stays independent — default true regardless of
CONTRIBUTOR_MODE — so any brain that does capture still scrubs.

Tests rewritten: env var hygiene per-test (origMode preserved + restored
in finally). 9/9 pass; total v0.25.0 suite is 198/198.

Docs:
- README.md gains a Contributing-section pointer to the env var.
- CONTRIBUTING.md gains a "CONTRIBUTOR_MODE — turn on the dev loop"
  section with verification commands and resolution-order table.
- docs/eval-bench.md leads with the prerequisite (must set the env var
  for the rest of the doc to be useful).
- docs/eval-capture.md "Config" section split into Path A (env var) +
  Path B (config) with explicit resolution-order rules.
- CHANGELOG v0.25.0 entry corrected ("on by default" was wrong) plus a
  new top itemized bullet calling out the gate change.
- CLAUDE.md eval-capture entry annotated with the new gate logic.

* docs: post-ship documentation pass for v0.25.0

Cross-references every doc against the final state of the branch
(CONTRIBUTOR_MODE flag, eval replay tool, off-by-default capture):

- README.md: top callout rewritten — was implying capture-on-by-default
  contradicting the gate landed in 7a80ce25. Now leads with
  "contributor opt-in" and links docs/eval-bench.md alongside
  docs/eval-capture.md.
- AGENTS.md: new "Eval retrieval changes" task entry with the
  CONTRIBUTOR_MODE+replay one-liner so non-Claude agents (Codex, Cursor,
  Aider) have the same path.
- CLAUDE.md: "Key commands added in v0.25.0" gains the replay command and
  a CONTRIBUTOR_MODE bullet covering the resolution order.
- CHANGELOG.md: headline rewritten to match the actual feature ("benchmark
  retrieval changes against real captured queries before merging" — was
  "every real query is captured"). Stale "v0.22 ships the substrate"
  → v0.25. Test count corrected 82 → 144 (added 16 replay + 9
  CONTRIBUTOR_MODE + 8 v31-shape tests since the original count). Two
  metric rows added to the numbers table: default-off posture, in-tree
  replay tooling. "To take advantage" block split into user vs
  contributor branches with shell-rc instructions.
- TODOS.md: v0.22.1 follow-up reference corrected to v0.25.1.

llms.txt + llms-full.txt regenerated. Typecheck clean. 198/198 v0.25.0
tests still green.
