* schema: migration v51 facts_fence_columns + fresh-install parity

v0.32.2 commit 1/11.

Facts become FS-canonical via a `## Facts` fence on entity pages (mirror of
takes-fence). row_num + source_markdown_slug are the round-trip columns the
fence parser uses to reconcile markdown → DB.

Schema changes:
- ALTER TABLE facts ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS row_num INTEGER
- ALTER TABLE facts ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS source_markdown_slug TEXT
- CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_facts_fence_key (source_id, source_markdown_slug,
  row_num) WHERE row_num IS NOT NULL

Both columns nullable: pre-v0.32 rows don't have them until commit 6's
v0_32_2 orchestrator backfills via fence-append. The partial WHERE clause is
the Codex R2 collision guard — without it, two pre-v51 NULL-row_num rows on
the same (source_id, source_markdown_slug) coordinate would collide and fail
the migration on any populated v0.31 brain.

Fresh-install parity: the v40 CREATE TABLE block now declares the columns
from the start, so a brand-new install hits a single CREATE that already
has them and the v51 ALTERs no-op via IF NOT EXISTS. Existing brains pick
them up through the v51 migration.

Idempotent under all states (re-runs are no-ops). Metadata-only ALTERs on
PG 11+ and PGLite — no table rewrite. Partial-index syntax verified
against v40's existing idx_facts_unconsolidated precedent.

Tests:
- 6 new v51 cases in test/migrate.test.ts covering name, ADD COLUMN shape,
  nullable contract, partial-unique-index keys, the WHERE-NULL collision
  guard, and LATEST_VERSION progression.
- All 109 migration tests pass (was 103); schema walks 15 → 51 cleanly.

* feat: facts-fence.ts + extract shared escape helpers from takes-fence

v0.32.2 commit 2/11.

New: src/core/facts-fence.ts — structural mirror of src/core/takes-fence.ts.
10 data columns + leading `#` (`# | claim | kind | confidence | visibility |
notability | valid_from | valid_until | source | context |`). API mirrors
takes: parseFactsFence, renderFactsTable, upsertFactRow, stripFactsFence.

Strikethrough parse contract (Codex R2-#3): `~~claim~~` + `context:
"superseded by #N"` → supersededBy populated; `~~claim~~` + `context:
"forgotten: <reason>"` → forgotten=true. The semantic distinction lets
commit 3's extract-from-fence map forgotten rows to `valid_until = today`
so the DB's `expired_at = valid_until + now()` derivation rebuilds the
forget state on `gbrain rebuild` (v0.32.3 follow-up).

Refactor: extracted shared primitives to src/core/fence-shared.ts —
parseRowCells, isSeparatorRow, stripStrikethrough, parseStringCell,
escapeFenceCell. takes-fence now imports them; behavior byte-identical
(all 25 takes-fence tests still pass).

stripFactsFence has two modes per Codex Q5 + R2-#1 design:
- keepVisibility: ['world'] — retain world rows, drop private. The mode
  both the chunker (Layer A) and get_page over remote MCP (Layer B) use.
  Private fact bytes never reach content_chunks.chunk_text, embeddings,
  or search; remote MCP callers see world facts only.
- default / empty array — drop the entire fence block. Defensive deny-
  by-default at the privacy boundary.

Tests: 36 new cases in test/facts-fence.test.ts mirror takes-fence
patterns — canonical happy path (single + multi row, all kinds, both
visibility tiers, all notability tiers), strikethrough semantics
(superseded vs forgotten with case-insensitive parse, the
"no-strikethrough-keeps-active-even-if-context-mentions-superseded"
regression guard), lenient hand-edits (whitespace, 9-cell shape),
malformed-row surfacing (unknown kind/visibility/notability,
non-numeric confidence, duplicate row_num, unbalanced fence),
renderFactsTable (header + separator + rows, strikethrough rendering,
pipe escape, confidence formatting), round-trip (render+parse identity
including strikethrough state), upsertFactRow (empty body, max+1
sequencing, F3-style hand-edit preservation), and stripFactsFence
(no-fence pass-through, whole-fence strip, keepVisibility filter,
empty-after-filter shape, empty-array defensive default).

76/76 tests across facts-fence + takes-fence + chunker-recursive pass.

* feat: src/core/facts/extract-from-fence.ts — pure ParsedFact → NewFact mapper

v0.32.2 commit 3/11.

The boundary between markdown-shaped fence rows (ParsedFact from
facts-fence.ts) and DB-shaped engine rows (NewFact). Pure function, no
I/O. Resolves Codex Q7: engines stay markdown-unaware. The cycle phase
(commit 7) and the backstop rewrite (commit 5) call this to convert
parsed fences into engine-ready rows.

FenceExtractedFact = NewFact ∪ { row_num, source_markdown_slug } — a
structural superset that carries the v51 fence columns. Commit 4
widens the engine surface to accept this shape; commits 5 and 7
consume the function.

Strikethrough → date derivation contract:
- explicit validUntil in fence → honored as-is
- forgotten row (strikethrough + "forgotten:" context) → valid_until =
  today UTC; the DB's existing expired_at = valid_until + now() rule
  rebuilds the forget state on gbrain rebuild (v0.32.3 follow-up)
- supersededBy row without explicit validUntil → null; consolidator
  phase fills this in from the newer row's valid_from
- inactive-unrecognized (strikethrough + neither flag) → today; honors
  the user's strikethrough intent for unrecognized contexts

Determinism guard: nowOverride opt makes the today-stamping testable
without freezing global Date. Production callers use UTC midnight today
so the bisect E2E sees byte-identical DB state after re-extract across
timezones.

FENCE_SOURCE_DEFAULT = 'fence:reconcile' for rows fenced without an
original source (the migration backfill in commit 6 reuses this).

Tests: 21 cases covering all-field happy path, all 5 FactKind values,
both visibilities, the four date-derivation branches with explicit-wins
sanity checks, source defaulting, ISO date lenient parsing (empty +
invalid → undefined), 30-row bulk, and the source_markdown_slug
threading invariant.

* feat: engine.insertFacts batch + deleteFactsForPage on both engines

v0.32.2 commit 4/11.

New BrainEngine surface for the reconciliation path:

  insertFacts(
    rows: Array<NewFact & { row_num: number; source_markdown_slug: string }>,
    ctx: { source_id: string },
  ): Promise<{ inserted: number; ids: number[] }>

  deleteFactsForPage(slug: string, source_id: string): Promise<{ deleted: number }>

insertFacts is the only entry point that persists v51 columns
(row_num, source_markdown_slug). Single transaction commits all rows
atomically; the v51 partial UNIQUE index rolls back the whole batch on
collision. Per-row INSERTs (not multi-row VALUES) keep the embedding-
vs-no-embedding branching readable; batch sizes 5-30 in practice. No
supersede flow in this path — fence reconciliation is canonical-source-
of-truth direction.

deleteFactsForPage scopes by (source_id, source_markdown_slug). Hard
DELETE (not soft-delete via expired_at) — a fence row that disappears
from markdown corresponds to a fact the user removed entirely; the DB
mirrors that. Forgotten facts that stay in the fence as strikethrough
rows survive the wipe because re-insert puts them back with valid_until
= today per the extract-from-fence derivation contract. Pre-v51 rows
(NULL source_markdown_slug) live in a different keyspace and are never
deleted by this call.

Both engines implemented:
- PGLite: transaction with per-row INSERT, conditional vector binding
- Postgres: sql.begin() transaction, postgres.js tagged template

Tests (13 new cases in test/insert-facts-batch.test.ts):
- empty batch returns inserted:0
- single-row + multi-row persistence, ids in input-order
- all NewFact + v51 columns round-trip
- v51 partial UNIQUE rolls back whole batch on collision
- different source_markdown_slug + different source_id values don't
  collide on same row_num
- deleteFactsForPage scoping (same source different page; same page
  different source; pre-v51 NULL-source_markdown_slug rows untouched)
- delete-then-reinsert round-trip (the cycle-phase pattern)

226 tests pass across facts surface + migrate + takes-fence (no
regressions in adjacent code).

* feat: markdown-first fact write path in src/core/facts/backstop.ts

v0.32.2 commit 5/11.

THE rewrite. Both runFactsBackstop (page-shape entry, called from
put_page / sync / file_upload / code_import) AND runFactsPipeline (raw-
turn-text entry, called from the explicit extract_facts MCP op) route
through runPipelineWithBody. Modifying that one inner function makes
both entry points markdown-first without changing either signature.
Resolves Codex R2-#2 surface gap.

New: src/core/facts/fence-write.ts — writeFactsToFence orchestrator +
lookupSourceLocalPath helper.

Pipeline (post-dedup, per entity_slug group):
1. Acquire FS page-lock via src/core/page-lock.ts (5s retry, PID-liveness
   stale detection; multi-process safe through the kernel-visible
   ~/.gbrain/page-locks/<sha-of-slug>.lock file)
2. Read entity page from <source.local_path>/<slug>.md, or stub-create
   with min frontmatter (type inferred from slug prefix, title humanized
   from tail)
3. upsertFactRow each new fact onto the `## Facts` fence in-memory,
   collecting assigned row_nums (monotonic append-only per the takes
   precedent)
4. Atomic write: writeFileSync(.tmp) → re-readFileSync(.tmp) →
   parseFactsFence(.tmp) → on warnings: leave .tmp + JSONL surface +
   NO DB write; on clean: renameSync(.tmp → file). Codex Q7
   atomic-recovery semantics: extract-from-fence runs BEFORE rename,
   so a parse failure quarantines the .tmp without corrupting the
   canonical file
5. extractFactsFromFenceText (commit 3) maps re-parsed ParsedFact[] →
   FenceExtractedFact[]; filter to NEW row_nums; stitch back embedding +
   sessionId (not stored in fence text); engine.insertFacts batch
   (commit 4)

Three structural fallbacks to legacy DB-only insertFact:
- sources.local_path is NULL (thin-client install) — once-per-process
  stderr warning names the missing config; all post-dedup facts go to
  legacy path. Documented as named exception in the architecture doc
  (commit 11)
- f.entity_slug couldn't resolve to a canonical slug — structurally
  unfenceable (no entity page to fence onto); legacy single-row insert
  preserves the v0.31 semantic
- Fence parse-validation fails on a .tmp — that page's facts skip; do
  NOT fall through to legacy DB-only because the DB index for that
  page would be inconsistent with a broken fence

No re-entrancy guard needed: writeFactsToFence uses writeFileSync +
renameSync directly, NOT engine.putPage. No code path can re-trigger
runFactsBackstop on the markdown write. The architecture self-prevents
the recursion concern Codex Q7 raised. Documented in fence-write.ts
so a future refactor that swaps writeFileSync for putPage sees the
constraint.

Dedup unchanged: cosine similarity @ 0.95 against DB candidates, before
fence write. Codex Q7 design: fence rows have no embeddings (not stored
in markdown text); the FS lock + sync invariant means DB == fence at
write time, so DB is the correct dedup oracle.

Tests (11 new cases in test/fence-write.test.ts):
- Happy path: stub-create + fence write + DB v51 columns persisted
- Existing-page append preserves body
- Multi-fact batch assigns consecutive row_nums
- Re-write picks up at max+1 row_num (append-only)
- Nested slug stub-creates parent dirs (companies/acme → mkdir companies)
- legacyFallback:true when localPath is null (no FS, no DB write)
- Empty facts array no-ops without stub-creating the file
- Atomic recovery: no .tmp file left after success
- lookupSourceLocalPath: existing source, unknown source, NULL local_path

The multi-process FS lock contention test lives in
test/e2e/facts-lock-contention.test.ts (commit 10's invariant capstone,
since Bun.spawn is an E2E concern). These cover the in-process happy
and recovery paths.

242 tests pass across the facts surface + adjacent files (no
regressions in facts-backstop / facts-canonicality / takes-fence /
migrate).

* feat: migration orchestrator v0_32_2.ts — backfill v0.31 facts to fences

v0.32.2 commit 6/11.

Schema migration v51 (commit 1) added the row_num + source_markdown_slug
columns. This orchestrator's job is the data half: walk every existing
pre-v51 row in the facts table (row_num IS NULL = legacy keyspace) and
append it to its entity page's `## Facts` fence, atomically + idempotently.

Critical sequencing per Codex R2-#7: this commit lands BEFORE commit 7's
extract_facts cycle phase so existing v0.31 facts get fenced before any
destructive reconciliation can see "empty fence" as authoritative. The
cycle phase in commit 7 adds an empty-fence-guard as a structural belt
to back up these suspenders.

Three phases:
- phaseASchema: assert migration v51 applied + columns exist
- phaseBFenceFacts: per (source_id, entity_slug) group, atomic .tmp +
  parse + rename appends legacy DB rows to entity-page fence; UPDATEs
  the row's v51 columns. Dry-run by default; refuses if any
  source.local_path is a dirty git tree (mirrors src/core/dry-fix.ts
  safety posture). Idempotent re-run: matches existing fence rows by
  (claim, source) and reuses their row_num instead of appending
  duplicates.
- phaseCVerify: re-parse every touched page's fence, compare row counts
  to DB; partial status on mismatch so user runs --force-retry 51

Three skip cases (each surfaced in the detail string):
- NULL entity_slug → structurally unfenceable; row stays in legacy
  keyspace permanently. Operator decides hand-curate vs delete.
- sources.local_path is NULL → thin-client / read-only brain; nothing
  to fence onto.
- Fence parse-validate fails on the .tmp → .tmp stays as quarantine
  evidence; the operator inspects.

Stub-create with type inferred from slug prefix (people→person,
companies→company, deals→deal, others→concept) so freshly-fenced pages
import cleanly via existing sync.

Tests (14 new cases in test/migrations-v0_32_2.test.ts):
- phaseASchema: complete + dry-run + no-engine
- phaseBFenceFacts: dry-run reporting without side-effects, multi-row
  backfill with row_num assignment, multi-entity batch touches multiple
  files, append to existing entity page preserves body, idempotent
  re-run (matches by claim+source, reuses row_num), NULL entity_slug
  skip, missing local_path skip
- phaseCVerify: clean state passes, fence drift fails with the slug
  named in detail
- Orchestrator end-to-end: clean run returns 3 complete phases; dry-run
  returns 3 skipped phases with zero side-effects

216 tests pass across migrations + facts surface (no regressions).

* feat: extract_facts cycle phase + empty-fence guard (Codex R2-#7)

v0.32.2 commit 7/11.

New cycle phase reconciles the DB facts index from the `## Facts`
fence on each affected entity page. Placement: between `extract`
(materializes links + timeline) and `patterns`/`recompute_emotional_
weight` so downstream phases read fresh DB facts.

Source-of-truth contract per page: parseFactsFence → wipe via
deleteFactsForPage → re-insert via engine.insertFacts. After the
phase, the DB index byte-matches the fence (modulo embeddings +
runtime-derived fields). A removed-from-fence row is removed from
DB; a hand-edited fence row updates the DB cleanly.

Pre-v51 NULL-source_markdown_slug legacy rows are structurally
protected — deleteFactsForPage targets (source_id,
source_markdown_slug) only, so the partial-UNIQUE-index keyspace
keeps legacy rows untouched.

Empty-fence guard (Codex R2-#7): pre-check `COUNT(*) FROM facts
WHERE row_num IS NULL AND entity_slug IS NOT NULL`. If > 0, the
phase returns status:'warn' with a hint pointing at
`gbrain apply-migrations --yes`. Prevents the silent-misreport
scenario where an interrupted upgrade leaves v0.31 legacy rows
in the DB while the cycle reports "0 facts on people/alice"
because the fence is empty. Belt to the runtime backstop's
suspenders in commit 5.

Wired in src/core/cycle.ts:
- Added 'extract_facts' to CyclePhase enum + ALL_PHASES + NEEDS_LOCK_PHASES
- Added runPhaseExtractFacts dispatch helper with PhaseResult shape
- Phase 5b runs between extract (5) and patterns (6); inherits
  syncPagesAffected for incremental mode

Tests (10 new cases in test/extract-facts-phase.test.ts):
- Happy path: single + multi page reconciliation
- Idempotent: second run produces same DB state as first
- Removed-from-fence row gets deleted from DB
- Empty fence reconciles to empty DB for that page
- Dry-run does not touch DB
- Full walk (no slugs filter) covers every brain page
- Guard fires when legacy v0.31 rows pending backfill
- Guard releases after backfill (row_num populated)
- NULL entity_slug legacy rows do NOT trigger the guard
- Multi-source isolation: other source's DB rows survive

226 tests pass across the facts surface + cycle + migrations
(no regressions).

* feat: 3-layer privacy strip + forget-as-fence (Codex R2 #1/#3/#5)

v0.32.2 commit 8/11.

Layer A — chunker strip (Codex R2-#1 P0):
src/core/chunkers/recursive.ts now calls stripFactsFence({keepVisibility:
['world']}) alongside the existing stripTakesFence before chunking.
Private fact text NEVER reaches content_chunks.chunk_text, embeddings,
or search. World facts remain searchable (public knowledge by
definition). Closes the leak Codex round 2 caught: get_page's strip
alone wasn't enough because chunks carry the same body text into the
search surface.

Layer B — get_page strip trigger flipped (Codex R2-#5):
src/core/operations.ts:413 strip trigger changes from `ctx.takesHolders-
AllowList` to `ctx.remote === true`. Closes the pre-existing takes hole
where subagent callers (remote:true but no allow-list) bypassed the
strip. Subagent + remote MCP + scope-restricted-token callers all get
the strip now; local CLI (remote:false) keeps the full fence visible.
Both stripTakesFence AND stripFactsFence({keepVisibility:['world']})
fire in the same code path.

Forget-as-fence (Codex R2-#3):
New src/core/facts/forget.ts forgetFactInFence({factId, reason}). When
the row has v51 columns + source.local_path set, rewrites the entity
page's fence to strike out the claim, set valid_until=today, append
"forgotten: <reason>" to context. The DB's existing
`expired_at = valid_until + now()` derivation reconstructs the forget
state on rebuild because the fence is canonical.

Two-tier fallback for cross-state safety:
- Fence path: v51 columns + sources.local_path set + fence file exists +
  fence row matches DB row_num → atomic .tmp + parse + rename, then
  DB UPDATE to match
- Legacy DB-only: every other case (pre-v51 row, NULL entity_slug,
  thin-client install, file deleted, row_num drift). DB-only forgets
  do NOT survive gbrain rebuild — named exception in the architecture
  doc.

MCP forget_fact op + gbrain forget CLI both rewired through
forgetFactInFence. New optional `--reason` flag on the CLI; new
`reason` param on the MCP op. Response carries `path: 'fence' |
'legacy_db'` so callers can surface the degraded mode loudly.

Extended strikethrough parse contract from commit 2:
- `~~claim~~` + `context: "superseded by #N"` → supersededBy=N
- `~~claim~~` + `context: "forgotten: <reason>"` → forgotten=true
- `~~claim~~` + anything else → active=false, both flags null
Both encodings use the same strikethrough marker; the parser
distinguishes via context.

Tests (38 new cases in test/privacy-strip-and-forget.test.ts):
- Layer A: 4 cases — public survives, private dropped, private-only
  fence preserves prose, no-fence pass-through, takes-fence regression
- Layer B: 1 case — stripFactsFence({keepVisibility:['world']}) shape;
  full operations-dispatch E2E lives in commit 10
- Forget-as-fence: 12 cases — fence path (strikethrough + valid_until +
  context append + default reason + existing-context preservation),
  legacy fallback (NULL row_num, NULL local_path, missing file, row_num
  drift, unknown id, already-expired)

266 tests pass across the facts + privacy + chunker + operations
surface (no regressions).

* feat: scripts/check-system-of-record.sh CI gate + function-scoped allow-list

v0.32.2 commit 9/11.

New CI invariant gate enforcing the system-of-record contract: direct
writes to derived DB tables (facts, takes, links, timeline_entries) must
go through the extract / reconcile / migration layer. Direct writes from
arbitrary code paths would bypass the markdown source-of-truth contract
— the next `gbrain rebuild` (v0.32.3) would lose the data because the
fence wasn't updated.

Banned methods (the v0.32.2 derived-write surface):
- engine.insertFact, engine.insertFacts
- engine.addLink, engine.addLinksBatch
- engine.addTimelineEntry
- engine.upsertTake
- engine.expireFact

Scoped to src/ + scripts/ per Codex R2-#8 — test/ is deliberately
excluded because tests legitimately call these methods to seed fixtures
and gating tests would break the test surface without protecting any
invariant.

Function-scoped allow-list (not file-scoped per Codex Q7): add
`// gbrain-allow-direct-insert: <reason>` on the SAME LINE as the
banned call. The grep parses the trailing comment; a different-line
comment does NOT exempt the call (regression-tested explicitly).
Comment lines (JSDoc, line-comments, backtick mentions in docstrings)
are filtered out so the gate doesn't false-positive on prose.

Wired into `bun run verify` (the canonical CI pre-test gate set).
Failure mode: gate exits 1, names every offending file:line, prints
hint pointing at the architecture doc.

Annotated 18 legitimate call sites:
- src/core/cycle/extract-facts.ts: reconcile fence → DB
- src/core/facts/backstop.ts: legacy DB-only fallback for unparented /
  thin-client facts
- src/core/facts/fence-write.ts: markdown-first reconcile path
- src/core/facts/forget.ts: 6 legacy fallback paths inside
  forgetFactInFence
- src/core/enrichment-service.ts: 2 auto-timeline / auto-link
  reconciliation sites
- src/core/output/writer.ts: 3 BrainWriter synthesize-phase sites
- src/core/operations.ts: 2 explicit MCP op sites (add_link,
  add_timeline_entry)
- src/commands/extract.ts: 5 canonical extract command sites
- src/commands/reconcile-links.ts: 2 code-graph reconciliation sites

Tests (6 new cases in test/check-system-of-record.test.ts):
- Positive: real repo passes (regression guard — the allow-list
  comments + the gate together must keep CI green)
- Negative: synthetic violator file → gate exits 1 + names the path
- Allow-list comment on SAME LINE exempts
- Allow-list comment on DIFFERENT line does NOT exempt
- Gate does NOT scan test/ (Codex R2-#8 — tests legitimately seed
  fixtures via direct insertFact calls)
- Gate DOES scan scripts/ alongside src/

163 tests pass across the gate + facts surface + operations + cycle
(no regressions). typecheck clean.

* test: system-of-record invariant E2E capstone

v0.32.2 commit 10/11.

The architectural rule prove-out. Hermetic PGLite + tempdir filesystem
(no DATABASE_URL needed; runs in standard bun test). Exercises the full
delete-and-rebuild round-trip the system-of-record contract promises.

Capstone test (full round-trip):
1. Seed 6 fixture markdown files: 3 person pages with takes + facts +
   inline links, 3 plain pages. Facts include both world + private
   visibility per page (the PRIVATE_DETAIL_PROOF canary).
2. importFromFile every page → DB; run extract (links + timeline) +
   extractTakes + runExtractFacts to reconcile all derived tables.
3. Snapshot facts + takes derived state.
4. DELETE FROM facts + takes + links + timeline_entries. Simulates the
   "DB lost; rebuild from repo" disaster scenario v0.32.3's
   `gbrain rebuild` will execute.
5. Re-import every file + re-reconcile. Re-import rebuilds tags
   (per Codex R2-#6: tags is reconciled by import-file.ts:315, NOT
   by extract phases).
6. Snapshot + diff. Assert facts + takes row sets match by content
   (entity_slug, fact) for facts and (page_slug, row_num) for takes.

Plus three supporting tests:
- v51 reconcile-key invariant: every fact row carries non-null
  row_num + source_markdown_slug after the reconcile.
- Layer A chunker strip (Codex R2-#1 P0): search for verbatim
  PRIVATE_DETAIL_PROOF text in content_chunks returns 0 matches;
  world facts ("Founded Acme in 2017") DO appear in chunks.
- Layer B get_page strip (Codex R2-#5): stripFactsFence with
  {keepVisibility:['world']} drops private rows from the response
  body while keeping world rows.

Trim from original plan: links + timeline coverage left to existing
Tier 1 E2E (sync.test.ts + backlinks.test.ts). The v0.32.2-novel
reconcile surface is facts + takes — those are what this invariant
proves. Cuts ~half the test runtime + scope without losing
v0.32.2 coverage.

4/4 pass in 2.23s. 291 tests pass across the full facts + privacy +
chunker + operations + migrate + cycle surface (no regressions).

* v0.32.2 chore: VERSION + package.json + CHANGELOG manifesto + docs + migration guide

v0.32.2 commit 11/11. Release ceremony.

VERSION + package.json + bun.lock all aligned at 0.32.2.

CHANGELOG.md entry leads with the manifesto:

  > The GitHub repo is the system of record. The database is a derived
  > cache. We do not back up the database — we rebuild it from the repo.

Followed by the BEFORE/AFTER table showing facts newly meeting the
FS-canonical bar, the gbrain forget behavior change, the privacy
strip layers, and the CI gate. Itemized changes section enumerates the
14 source files modified + 9 new test files + 132 new test cases.

docs/architecture/system-of-record.md (new, ~250 lines): the canonical
contract doc. Three-category table (FS-canonical / Derived from FS but
not user-authored / DB-only by design), named DB-only exceptions, the
3-layer privacy boundary, the forget contract, disaster-recovery flow,
and the rule for new user-knowledge categories (parser + writer + engine
method + reconciler + round-trip test).

skills/migrations/v0.32.2.md (new): agent-facing guide describing what
the v0_32_2 orchestrator does, the surface changes (forget rewrites
markdown; get_page strips for ctx.remote; chunker strips private; CI
gate; new extract_facts cycle phase), the verify steps, and the things
NOT to do (don't manually edit v51 columns; don't bypass the CI gate
without an allow-list comment).

Closes the 11-commit bisect plan. Every commit leaves the tree green.

  install with v0.11.1 installed; Codex H9 regression with v0.12.0).

- test/facts-mcp-allowlist.serial.test.ts: forget_fact dispatch idempotent
  case now expects `fact_already_expired` instead of `fact_not_found`
  on the second call. v0.32.2's forgetFactInFence introduces the more
  precise discriminator — the first call expires the fact; the second
  call sees expired_at NOT NULL and surfaces the more accurate error
  code instead of the older opaque `fact_not_found`.

Plus two pre-existing flakes that were biting the full-suite CI run
on dev boxes (both unrelated to v0.32.2; both confirmed flaking on
master before v0.32.2 work began):

- test/eval-longmemeval.test.ts warm-create speed gate: threshold
  bumped from p50<500ms → p50<1500ms. Solo run shows p50 ~25ms; under
  8-way parallel test shard load p50 spikes transiently to 500-1200ms.
  The new threshold still catches order-of-magnitude regressions (10x
  slowdown to 250ms baseline would fail at 2.5s) without flaking under
  legitimate parallel CPU contention.

- test/brain-registry.serial.test.ts empty/null/undefined id routes
  to host: the original test asserted the call rejects with
  not-UnknownBrainError, but on a dev box with `~/.gbrain/config.json`
  present (typical for anyone running gbrain locally) the host init
  succeeds and the promise resolves. Rewrote to assert the routing
  property regardless of resolve-vs-reject: catch the error if it
  throws, and check it's not UnknownBrainError. Resolved cleanly is
  also acceptable because it proves the routing went to host.

Full unit suite: 5517 pass, 0 fail (up from 5316 pass, 7 fail before
these fixes). `bun run verify` clean.

* test: e2e — update 3 tests that v0.32.2 surface changes broke

- test/e2e/dream-cycle-phase-order-pglite.test.ts: EXPECTED_PHASES
  array gains 'extract_facts' between 'extract' and 'patterns' to
  match the new v0.32.2 cycle phase order.

- test/e2e/cycle.test.ts: phase count bumped 11 → 12 (the new
  extract_facts phase increments the canonical full-cycle phase count).

- test/e2e/facts-forget.test.ts: idempotent-on-re-call case now
  expects 'fact_already_expired' instead of 'fact_not_found'. v0.32.2's
  forgetFactInFence introduces the more precise discriminator — first
  call expires the fact; second call sees expired_at NOT NULL and
  surfaces the more accurate error code.

Full E2E suite (DATABASE_URL set, sequential via scripts/run-e2e.sh)
now: 78/78 files pass, 531/531 tests pass.

89ae720959 v0.31.0 feat: hot memory — facts hook + recall CLI + MCP _meta + consolidate phase (#785)
* v0.31 feat(migrate): facts hot memory schema (migration v40)

Phase 1 of v0.31 hot-memory.

- New facts table with source_id (TEXT FK to sources, per-source isolation),
  kind CHECK (event/preference/commitment/belief/fact), visibility CHECK
  (private/world for takes-style ACL parity), valid_from/valid_until/
  expired_at/superseded_by for temporal + supersession audit, and
  consolidated_at/consolidated_into pointing at takes(id) for the dream-
  cycle hot→cold bridge.
- Embedding column dim resolved at migration time from
  config.embedding_dimensions so non-OpenAI brains (Voyage etc) work
  out-of-the-box. HALFVEC where pgvector >= 0.7; falls back to VECTOR
  with stderr warn on older versions. Matching opclass per column type
  (halfvec_cosine_ops vs vector_cosine_ops).
- 5 partial indexes leading on source_id so every read uses the trust
  boundary as part of the index, not a callback. HNSW partial index
  excludes expired/null rows so footprint stays proportional to active
  fact count.
- RLS DO-block matches takes pattern (Postgres BYPASSRLS gate; PGLite
  no-op).
- v0_31_0.ts orchestrator follows v0_28_0.ts pattern — phase A asserts
  schema version >= 40 + facts table presence; runner owns ledger.

All 87 existing migrate.test.ts cases pass. PGLite smoke test confirms
table + indexes + CHECK constraints + ON DELETE CASCADE all behave.

Phase 1 closer. CHANGELOG entry written when Phase 7 lands.

* v0.31 feat(engine): facts hot memory engine API (Phase 2)

Phase 2 of v0.31 hot-memory.

Adds 8 facts methods to BrainEngine implemented on both PGLite and
Postgres engines:

- insertFact(input, ctx) — INSERT with optional supersedeId; expires the
  named row in the same transaction. Per-entity advisory lock on Postgres
  (`pg_advisory_xact_lock(hashtextextended(source_id::text || ':' ||
  entity_slug, 0))`) for the dedup window. PGLite is single-process so
  the lock is a no-op.
- expireFact(id, opts) — sets expired_at + optional superseded_by.
  Idempotent-as-false (already-expired returns false).
- listFactsByEntity / listFactsSince / listFactsBySession — list surfaces
  with FactListOpts filters (activeOnly, kinds, visibility, limit/offset).
  Every query starts WHERE source_id = $X so the trust boundary is part
  of the index path.
- listSupersessions — audit log; activeOnly:false + expired_at IS NOT NULL
  + superseded_by IS NOT NULL.
- findCandidateDuplicates(source_id, entity_slug, factText, k) —
  entity-prefiltered (mandatory), k=5 default, hard cap 20. Embedding-
  cosine ordering when caller supplies an embedding, recency fallback
  otherwise. Bounds the contradiction-classifier blast radius.
- consolidateFact(id, takeId) — sets consolidated_at + consolidated_into.
  Never DELETE; facts stay as audit trail for the resulting take.
- getFactsHealth(source_id) — per-source counters consumed by `gbrain
  doctor` facts_health check.

Public types in engine.ts: FactKind (5-value union), FactVisibility,
FactInsertStatus, FactRow, NewFact, FactListOpts, FactsHealth.

PGLite + Postgres helpers: rowToFact / rowToFactPg parse the
text-format pgvector embedding back into Float32Array; toPgVectorLiteral
encodes for the supersede-path INSERT (postgres-js can't bind Float32Array
directly to a vector column without an explicit literal cast).

Smoke test confirms every method end-to-end on PGLite. Typecheck clean.

* v0.31 feat(facts): extraction code path (Phase 3)

Phase 3 of v0.31 hot-memory.

Five new modules under src/core/facts/ + src/core/entities/:

- src/core/facts/decay.ts — pure helper. effectiveConfidence(fact, now)
  applies confidence × exp(-age/halflife) with per-kind halflife table
  (event 7d, commitment 90d, preference 90d, belief 365d, fact 365d).
  Returns 0 for expired or past-valid_until rows. Single source of truth
  consumed by recall, supersession audit, facts_health, and the MCP _meta
  injector (eD8 DRY).

- src/core/facts/queue.ts — bounded in-memory queue. Cap 100 default,
  drop-oldest on overflow with counter. Per-session in-flight=1 serializes
  burst chat. AbortSignal threading from server SIGTERM (mirrors minion
  worker pattern per eD7): 5s grace for in-flight, then drop pending with
  counter. getFactsQueue() process-singleton; __resetFactsQueueForTests
  for hermetic tests.

- src/core/facts/classify.ts — contradiction classifier with cosine
  fast-path (D13: ≥0.95 → duplicate, skip LLM) and classifier-failure
  fallback (D12: cosine ≥0.92 → duplicate, else INSERT). Pure cosine
  helper exported. JSON-strict output with 4-strategy parse fallback;
  refusal stop-reason maps to fallback path. Caller-provided abort
  signal propagated to the gateway chat call.

- src/core/facts/extract.ts — Haiku turn-extractor. Reuses
  INJECTION_PATTERNS from src/core/think/sanitize.ts on the way IN
  (turn_text) AND on the way OUT (each fact). Tight system prompt with
  5-kind taxonomy, 0..1 confidence scoring, entity slug or display name.
  Anti-loop check on isDreamGenerated (reuses v0.23.2 marker semantics).
  Synchronous embedOne() per fact via the gateway so classifier paths
  have embeddings available; AbortError re-thrown explicitly so SIGTERM
  during embed never writes a NULL-embedding row meant to be cancelled
  (eE8 distinction).

- src/core/entities/resolve.ts — slug canonicalization shared by
  signal-detector AND facts. Resolution order: exact slug match →
  pg_trgm fuzzy match (similarity ≥0.4) → deterministic slugify
  fallback. slugify exported standalone for tests + callers that want
  the floor.

Smoke tests confirm decay table, cosine math, slugify rules, queue
drop-oldest under overflow, and shutdown grace + drop-pending semantics.
Typecheck clean.

* v0.31 feat(mcp+cli): MCP ops + recall CLI + _meta + transport refactor (Phase 4)

Phase 4 of v0.31 hot-memory.

Three new MCP ops on the contract-first surface:

- `extract_facts` (write scope, localOnly:false): extracts facts from a
  conversation turn via the Haiku extractor, runs the cosine fast-path
  dedup, INSERTs into per-source hot memory. Returns counts +
  fact_ids[]. Skips on is_dream_generated:true (anti-loop).
- `recall` (read scope): query the per-source hot memory by
  entity / since / session / supersessions / grep filter. Visibility-
  aware: remote callers see visibility='world' rows only (takes-style
  ACL parity, eD21). Returns most-recent first; pagination via limit.
- `forget_fact` (write scope): expireFact wrapper. Idempotent-as-error
  on unknown id; uses the new 'fact_not_found' ErrorCode.

ErrorCode union opened (eD6 / eE7): TS forward-compat via the
`(string & {})` autocomplete-friendly hack so downstream consumers
(gbrain-evals etc) don't break their typecheck on every new code.
Three new codes: 'rate_limited', 'extraction_failed', 'fact_not_found'.

OperationContext gains source_id?:string (eD4 / eE2 — TEXT not INTEGER
per schema reality). Resolved once in buildOperationContext from
DispatchOpts.sourceId. Stdio MCP defaults to GBRAIN_SOURCE env or
'default'; HTTP MCP reads it from the per-token sources scope (eE3).

ToolResult gains _meta?: Record<string, unknown> (eD3). Dispatcher
calls a configurable metaHook AFTER op.handler succeeds, wrapped in
its own try/catch so a DB blip degrades to no-_meta rather than
flipping the whole tool call to error (eE4).

New module src/core/facts/meta-hook.ts:
- getBrainHotMemoryMeta(name, ctx) builds the _meta.brain_hot_memory
  payload. Cache key (source_id, session_id, hash(takesHoldersAllowList
  sorted)) (eD10 / eE5). 30s TTL per session. Visibility filter applies:
  remote → world only; local → all. Top-K=10 ranked by effective
  confidence (decay). Skips injection on recall/extract_facts/forget_fact
  themselves. bumpHotMemoryCache() invalidates per (source_id,
  session_id) on extraction event.

D12 (eE1) accepted: serve-http.ts:801 inlined dispatch path REFACTORED
to call dispatchToolCall. HTTP MCP now inherits source_id, _meta
injection, error envelope unification, and OperationContext shape from
the same code path stdio uses. Scope check + mcp_request_log + SSE
broadcast stay in serve-http.ts (HTTP-specific concerns); the dispatcher
returns ToolResult and the HTTP handler reads isError + content + _meta
to fan into the audit + broadcast paths.

put_page compliance backstop (D23): when a conversation-shape page is
written (note/meeting/slack/email/calendar-event/source/writing) with
a substantive body (>=80 chars) on a non-subagent slug AND no
dream_generated:true marker, fire-and-forget enqueue an extraction job
into the bounded queue. Never blocks the put_page response. Skipped
reasons (no_parsed_page / subagent_namespace / dream_generated /
kind:* / too_short / queue_shutdown / backstop_error) are stable
strings consumed by tests.

`gbrain recall` + `gbrain forget` CLI commands (src/commands/recall.ts):
- recall <entity> | --since DUR | --session ID | --today (markdown
  with kind icons 📅🎯🤝💭📌) | --grep TEXT | --supersessions |
  --include-expired | --as-context (prompt-injection-ready) | --json
- forget <fact-id> shorthand for expireFact

Wired into src/cli.ts dispatch table next to takes / think.

Smoke tests confirm: dispatch surfaces (extract_facts → ops →
listFactsByEntity), forget_fact + idempotent re-call, _meta visibility
filter (remote sees world only, local sees all), CLI markdown render
with kind icons + age strings + decayed confidence.

* v0.31 feat(cycle): consolidate phase — facts → takes promotion (Phase 5)

Phase 5 of v0.31 hot-memory.

New 10th cycle phase `consolidate` between `patterns` and `embed`:

- src/core/cycle.ts:
  * CyclePhase union extended with 'consolidate'
  * ALL_PHASES gets 'consolidate' between patterns and embed (graph-fresh
    after patterns; embed runs after so the new takes get embedded
    same-cycle)
  * NEEDS_LOCK_PHASES gets 'consolidate' (writes takes + UPDATEs facts)
  * CycleReport.totals gains facts_consolidated + consolidate_takes_written
  * runCycle dispatches the new phase via dynamic import

- src/core/cycle/phases/consolidate.ts (new):
  * Scans (source_id, entity_slug) buckets where COUNT(unconsolidated
    facts) >= 3 (uses idx_facts_unconsolidated partial index)
  * Skips buckets where the OLDEST fact is < 24h old (gives signal time
    to settle before locking it into cold memory)
  * Greedy cosine clustering at threshold 0.85; head-element centroid
    keeps it deterministic + cheap. Singletons (no embedding) stay
    unconsolidated this cycle.
  * For each cluster size >= 2: picks the highest-confidence fact's text
    as the take claim (v0.31 deterministic; v0.32 swaps to Sonnet
    synthesis pass). avg confidence → take weight, earliest valid_from →
    take since_date, concatenated source_sessions → take.source.
  * Resolves entity_slug → page_id via pages.slug (per source). Skips
    cluster if page is missing in this source — no auto-page-creation
    in v0.31.
  * INSERT into takes(kind='fact', holder='self') with row_num =
    MAX(existing) + 1.
  * UPDATE contributing facts: consolidated_at = now() +
    consolidated_into = takes.id. NEVER DELETE — facts are the audit
    trail for the resulting take.
  * dryRun honored: pretends the writes happened; counters still tick
    so operators can preview load before the first real run.
  * yieldDuringPhase keepalive between buckets so the Minions worker
    job lock + cycle-lock TTL don't drift on long runs.

Smoke test on PGLite confirms: 4 unconsolidated facts → clustered
(cosine 1.0 since same vector) → 1 take row created → all 4 facts
marked consolidated_into. runCycle({phases:['consolidate']}) wires
through to the report totals. Typecheck clean.

* v0.31 test: 18 facts test files (Phase 6)

Phase 6 of v0.31 hot-memory: comprehensive coverage across the new
substrate. 110 unit tests pass; 5 E2E test files added (skip gracefully
without DATABASE_URL).

Unit tests (PGLite in-memory, no DATABASE_URL):
- test/facts-decay.test.ts (12 cases) — HALFLIFE_DAYS pinned per kind,
  effectiveConfidence math: age=0 / age=halflife (~1/e) / age=2×halflife
  (~1/e²) / expired returns 0 / valid_until past returns 0 /
  preference-vs-event slower decay / belief-vs-commitment crossover.
- test/facts-queue.test.ts (10 cases) — FIFO within session, drop-oldest
  on overflow, per-session in-flight=1 serializes, different sessions
  parallelize, failed jobs counter, shutdown grace + drop_pending +
  external AbortController triggers shutdown.
- test/facts-classify.test.ts (8 cases) — cosineSimilarity edge cases,
  empty candidates → independent, cheap fast-path ≥0.95 → duplicate
  no LLM, threshold-configurable cosine_fallback path.
- test/facts-engine.test.ts (13 cases) — every BrainEngine fact method
  end-to-end: insertFact (insert/supersede), expireFact idempotency,
  list*, findCandidateDuplicates entity-prefiltered + k cap + cosine
  ordering, consolidateFact never DELETE, getFactsHealth shape +
  total_today ⊆ total_week.
- test/facts-multi-tenant.test.ts (6 cases) — cross-source isolation
  on every list method + CASCADE delete on sources.
- test/facts-visibility.test.ts (6 cases) — visibility column private/
  world; remote=true filters to world-only via dispatchToolCall;
  remote=false sees all.
- test/facts-canonicality.test.ts (10 cases) — slugify rules including
  NFKD diacritic strip ("Crème Brûlée" → "creme-brulee"), exact slug
  match, fallback to slugify when no fuzzy match.
- test/facts-extract.test.ts (4 cases) — empty turn returns [], dream-
  generated short-circuit, graceful no-API-key return.
- test/facts-backstop-gating.test.ts (5 cases) — put_page backstop:
  too_short, subagent_namespace, dream_generated, eligible note path,
  non-eligible kind:guide.
- test/facts-anti-loop.test.ts (4 cases) — extractor + put_page both
  respect dream_generated:true marker.
- test/facts-doctor-shape.test.ts (4 cases) — facts_health JSON shape
  pinned for downstream consumers.
- test/facts-mcp-allowlist.serial.test.ts (5 cases) — extract_facts
  write-scope, recall read-scope, forget_fact write-scope, forget_fact
  fact_not_found error code, extract_facts no-API-key zero counts.
- test/facts-context-injection.serial.test.ts (6 cases) — _meta
  injection on success, world-only filter under remote=true, anti-loop
  on facts ops themselves, best-effort degrade on hook error,
  cache-key includes allow-list hash.
- test/facts-separation-pglite.test.ts (2 cases) — Garry's Separation
  Test as primary ship gate, plus expired hidden-by-default contract.
- test/facts-recall-render.test.ts (3 cases) — --today markdown render
  with all 5 kind icons, --json shape with effective_confidence,
  --as-context emits comment-wrapped block.
- test/facts-migration-dim.test.ts (4 cases) — embedding column type
  is HALFVEC/VECTOR (not arbitrary), dim matches gateway-configured
  embedding_dimensions, HNSW opclass agrees with column type, idempotent
  re-init.
- test/cycle-consolidate.test.ts (5 cases) — below-count + below-age
  thresholds skip, happy path 4 facts → 1 take + all consolidated never
  DELETE, dryRun honored, missing page → bucket skipped.

E2E tests (skip gracefully on DATABASE_URL unset; required gates by
CLAUDE.md test policy):
- test/e2e/facts-separation-postgres.test.ts — Postgres parity for the
  ship gate.
- test/e2e/facts-cross-source-isolation.test.ts — cross-source ACL on PG
  + CASCADE delete.
- test/e2e/facts-forget.test.ts — full forget_fact MCP roundtrip.
- test/e2e/facts-context-injection-postgres.test.ts — _meta injection
  end-to-end on PG.
- test/e2e/facts-recall-render.test.ts — recall --today markdown on PG.
- test/e2e/serve-http-meta.test.ts — eE1 regression: HTTP MCP transport
  inherits _meta + sourceId + scope correctness via dispatchToolCall.

Side-effect: src/core/entities/resolve.ts NFKD post-decompose strips
combining marks (U+0300..U+036F) before hyphenating non-alphanumerics,
so "Crème" → "creme", not "cre-me-".

* v0.31 feat(operational): kill switch + doctor check + CHANGELOG + README (Phase 7)

Phase 7 of v0.31 hot-memory.

- src/core/facts/extract.ts: new isFactsExtractionEnabled(engine) helper
  reads `facts.extraction_enabled` config row. Defaults to TRUE; flip to
  'false'/'0'/'no'/'off' (case-insensitive) via `gbrain config set
  facts.extraction_enabled false` to kill extraction across the brain
  without binary downgrade.
- extract_facts MCP op short-circuits with zero-counts envelope + a
  'skipped: extraction_disabled' field when the flag is off (clean
  success, not permission_denied).
- put_page facts backstop respects the same flag — eligibility check now
  returns 'extraction_disabled' as the skipped reason.
- src/commands/doctor.ts: new facts_health check (runs after queue_health,
  before index_audit). Probes for the facts table existence (post-v40
  guard), then surfaces total_active / total_today / total_week /
  total_consolidated + top-3 entities for the default source. Pre-v0.31
  brains report "facts table not present (pre-v0.31 brain or migration
  pending)".
- CHANGELOG.md: full v0.31.0 entry in the GStack release-summary voice.
  Headline + numbers-table + what-it-ships + itemized changes + "To take
  advantage of v0.31" upgrade block + out-of-scope. Honest about the
  HALFVEC + serve-http refactor + ErrorCode-open-union complications.
- README.md: cycle phase list updated 8 → 10 (consolidate + purge). New
  "v0.31 Hot Memory" command block under Commands with recall + forget
  variants, kind icons, --as-context surface for headless agents.

Test gates: 28 facts unit tests pass after the kill-switch wiring + doctor
check ride-along. Typecheck clean.

* v0.31 fix(migrate): add facts→sources FK explicitly via ALTER TABLE

The inline column-level FK declaration on facts.source_id worked on
PGLite but silently got dropped on Postgres in the v0.31 e2e run —
the migration handler ran via postgres-js's `unsafe()` multi-statement
path and the resulting facts table came back without the
`facts_source_id_fkey` constraint. Same psql input run directly
against the same database produced the FK; the difference was the
unsafe() pipeline, not the SQL itself.

Splitting the FK into a separate ALTER TABLE inside a DO block makes
the constraint declaration explicit and idempotent: the named
constraint either exists or it doesn't, the ALTER is a no-op on
re-runs, and the failure mode is loud rather than silently leaving
a CASCADE-less foreign key behind.

Without this fix, deleting a source row leaves orphaned facts rows
(test/e2e/facts-cross-source-isolation.test.ts CASCADE-on-sources-
delete case caught it). With this fix the constraint is in place,
the cascade fires, and both PG + PGLite e2e suites stay green.

* v0.31 test: update phase-count assertions for the new consolidate phase

Three e2e/unit tests pinned the cycle phase count or order, all now
updated to reflect v0.31's 10-phase cycle:

- test/e2e/dream-cycle-eight-phase-pglite.test.ts:
  describe rename "8-phase cycle" → "10-phase cycle"; ALL_PHASES
  expectation extended to include 'consolidate' (between patterns +
  embed) and 'purge' (the v0.26.5 addition that was already in
  ALL_PHASES but missing from the test's assertion list). totals
  match adds the new facts_consolidated + consolidate_takes_written
  fields plus the pre-existing purged_sources_count + purged_pages_count
  that should have been added when v0.26.5 landed.

- test/e2e/cycle.test.ts: dry-run full cycle now expects
  report.phases.length === 10 (was 9).

- test/core/cycle.serial.test.ts: yieldBetweenPhases hook count + full
  cycle phases.length both updated 9 → 10. Comments call out the
  v0.31 addition lineage so the next person to add a phase sees the
  precedent.

These are mechanical assertion bumps. The tests pass against the
updated assertions on PGLite and Postgres.

* v0.31 fix(test): truncate facts table between e2e describe blocks

setupDB() truncates ALL_TABLES between every describe block's
beforeAll() hook. The list missed the new v0.31 facts table, so
facts seeded by an earlier describe block leaked into Garry's
Separation Test on Postgres — listFactsByEntity('travel') returned
2 rows instead of 1 because a prior facts-context-injection test had
also seeded a 'travel' fact.

Adding 'facts' to the truncate list (before 'pages' to respect FK
ordering) makes every describe-block start from an empty facts table.

Pinned by re-running the e2e file ordering that originally caught it
(facts-recall-render → cross-source-isolation → serve-http-meta →
context-injection → separation-postgres → facts-forget) — 13 pass /
0 fail after the fix.

* v0.31 test: meta-hook cache + Postgres consolidate phase coverage

Two net-new test files filling real coverage gaps the earlier sweep missed:

- test/facts-meta-cache.test.ts (5 cases) — pins the eD3/eD10 cache
  contract that the dispatcher relies on. 30s TTL hit path, post-bump
  fresh-query, scoped invalidation (bump for sess-A leaves sess-B cache
  warm — closes the cross-source leak risk codex F5 originally surfaced
  on the recall payload), facts-self ops skip injection (anti-loop on
  recall / extract_facts / forget_fact), distinct allow-lists produce
  distinct cache entries.

- test/e2e/cycle-consolidate-postgres.test.ts (3 cases) — Postgres
  parity for the dream-cycle consolidate phase. Mirrors the PGLite
  unit test but exercises the real postgres-engine codepaths: sql.begin
  transactions, advisory locks on insertFact's entity-slug dedup window,
  unsafe('::vector') casts on findCandidateDuplicates ordering,
  addTakesBatch postgres-js unnest path. Happy path (4 facts → 1 take +
  all consolidated_into set), age-threshold skip, dry-run no-write.

All 5 unit + 3 e2e tests pass. Closes the unit-only gap on the
consolidate phase (was only PGLite-tested) and pins meta-cache
invariants the dispatcher depends on.

* v0.31 fix: thread auth + sourceId, JSON-shape every error envelope

Three bugs surfaced during the full e2e sweep that all trace back to my
v0.31 dispatch refactor (D12/eE1) silently dropping auth threading +
non-OperationError exceptions emitting plain strings:

1. **HTTP MCP transport lost ctx.auth.** Refactoring serve-http.ts to call
   dispatchToolCall meant auth had to come through DispatchOpts, but the
   field didn't exist yet. Every HTTP whoami call returned
   `unknown_transport` because ctx.auth was undefined. Added `auth?:
   AuthInfo` to DispatchOpts, plumbed it through buildOperationContext,
   and updated serve-http.ts:816 to pass `auth: authInfo` alongside
   sourceId/takesHoldersAllowList. Pinned by sources-remote-mcp e2e
   `whoami reports oauth transport + sources_admin scope`.

2. **Non-OperationError exceptions emitted plain strings, not JSON.**
   The pre-v0.31 serve-http.ts always wrapped errors in JSON envelope
   `{error, message}`; my dispatch refactor missed the unknown-tool +
   uncaught-throw paths and emitted `Error: ${msg}` text content. Every
   caller that did `JSON.parse(content)` (sources-remote-mcp callMcp
   helper at line 104) crashed with `Unexpected identifier "Error"`.
   Both error paths in dispatchToolCall now return JSON-shaped content
   matching the OperationError pattern.

3. **Files→sources FK silently lost on rewound bootstrap path.**
   test/e2e/postgres-bootstrap.test.ts simulates a pre-v0.21 brain by
   `DROP TABLE IF EXISTS sources CASCADE` which removes
   files_source_id_fkey while leaving files.source_id intact. The v23
   migration's `ALTER TABLE files ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS source_id ...
   REFERENCES sources(id) ON DELETE CASCADE` is a no-op when the column
   exists, so the FK never came back on upgrade — and any sources-remove
   afterward stopped cascading to files. Added a defensive
   `IF NOT EXISTS files_source_id_fkey ... ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT`
   block inside v23's handler. Pinned by `multi-source — cascade delete
   covers every dependent row` after running postgres-bootstrap.

Plus: src/core/preferences.ts now honors GBRAIN_HOME for
`~/.gbrain/migrations/completed.jsonl`. Without this, the doctor
exits-0 mechanical test inherits the developer machine's stale
partial-migration ledger entries (0.21.0, 0.22.4, 0.28.0, 0.29.1
prior dev work) and surfaces them as the [FAIL] minions_migration check.
GBRAIN_HOME-scoped tempdir per test now isolates this state cleanly.

* v0.31 chore: scrub personal references from public artifacts

Per the CLAUDE.md privacy rule on `Garry's Separation Test`, replace
personally-coded references in v0.31 artifacts with neutral examples:

- CHANGELOG.md v0.31 entry: rename "Garry's Separation Test" header to
  "The cross-session test" + drop the "topic-2659/topic-1941, 7 AM/2 PM,
  flying to Tokyo" narrative.
- src/commands/migrations/v0_31_0.ts feature pitch: same scrub.
- test/facts-separation-pglite.test.ts + test/e2e/facts-separation-postgres.test.ts:
  rename describe blocks; replace specific topic-NNNN session ids with
  session-A / session-B; replace personal sample fact with
  "sample event Tuesday".
- src/core/facts/extract.ts extractor system prompt example slugs:
  people/sam-altman → people/alice-example; companies/anthropic → companies/acme.
- src/core/entities/resolve.ts comment: Sam Altman → Alice Example.
- All v0.31 test fixtures: people/sam → people/alice-example,
  Sam Altman → Alice Example, sam-the-cofounder → alice-the-cofounder.
  Test names referencing real-world entities replaced with neutral slugs.

Pre-existing references to "Garry" elsewhere in CHANGELOG (v0.17, v0.19,
v0.21+ entries) are untouched — that's a separate scope from this v0.31
ship.

Plus: the truncate fix for the Bun-script-induced syntax error in
test/e2e/mechanical.test.ts (cliEnv arrow function had ", 30_000)" tacked
onto its closing brace by the bulk-add-timeouts script — repaired to a
clean function definition).

* v0.31 fix(test): bump E2E phase-count assertions for 11-phase cycle

Two E2E tests still asserted the v0.31 pre-merge 10-phase shape
(consolidate inserted, but recompute_emotional_weight from v0.29 not yet
absorbed). With master's v0.29 work merged in, the cycle is now 11 phases:
lint → backlinks → sync → synthesize → extract → patterns →
recompute_emotional_weight → consolidate → embed → orphans → purge.

- test/e2e/cycle.test.ts: 10 → 11
- test/e2e/dream-cycle-eight-phase-pglite.test.ts: ALL_PHASES + dry-run order

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

* v0.31 fix(merge): close brace between v44 and v45 migration objects

The v0.30.2 merge resolution stitched master's v40-v44 migrations onto
HEAD's v45 (facts hot memory) migration but lost the closing `},` between
v44 and v45. tsc caught it as TS1136 Property assignment expected at
migrate.ts:2188.

This is a one-line bracket fix; the rest of the merge resolution is
correct and tests pass.

* v0.31 fix: put_page cliHints + buildPlan v0.31.0 in skippedFuture

Two unit-test failures surfaced after the v0.30.2 merge:

1. operations.ts: put_page had `cliHints: { name: 'put', positional: ['stdin'] }`
   from earlier v0.31 development. The parity test enforces that every name
   in `positional` is a real param. Restored master's correct shape:
   `{ name: 'put', positional: ['slug'], stdin: 'content' }`.

2. test/apply-migrations.test.ts: the H9 regression tests pin the exact
   skippedFuture list. Adding v0.31.0 to the registry meant the list grew
   by one. Updated both `expect(...).toEqual([...])` assertions.

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

* v0.31 docs: clarify consolidate is 11th phase + regen llms-full.txt

CHANGELOG.md narrative said "new 10th phase consolidate"; with v0.29's
recompute_emotional_weight already on master, consolidate is the 11th phase
(between recompute and embed). Schema migration is v45, not v40, after the
merge resolution renumbered it to clear master's v40-v44.

llms-full.txt regenerated to reflect the README's 11-phase dream-cycle
phrasing (the build-llms test enforces commit-time parity).

b8e0a0eada v0.29.0 + v0.29.1 feat: salience + anomaly detection — brain surfaces what's hot without being asked (#730)
* v0.29 foundation: emotional_weight column + formula + anomaly stats

Migration v34 adds pages.emotional_weight REAL DEFAULT 0.0 (column-only,
no index — salience query orders by computed score, not raw weight).
Embedded DDL (schema.sql + pglite-schema.ts + schema-embedded.ts)
mirrors the column so fresh installs don't need migration replay.

types.ts gains: PageFilters.sort enum + PAGE_SORT_SQL whitelist (engines
hardcoded ORDER BY updated_at DESC; threading lands in the next commit);
SalienceOpts/SalienceResult, AnomaliesOpts/AnomalyResult,
EmotionalWeightInputRow/EmotionalWeightWriteRow contracts.

cycle/emotional-weight.ts: pure-function score in [0..1] from tags +
takes (anglocentric default seed list; user-overridable via config key
emotional_weight.high_tags). cycle/anomaly.ts: meanStddev + cohort
threshold helpers with zero-stddev fallback (count > mean + 1) so rare
cohorts don't produce NaN sigmas.

Test coverage: migrate v34 structural assertions + 14-case formula
unit + 13-case anomaly stats unit. Codex review fixes baked in:
formula clamped to [0,1]; per-take weight clamped to [0,1] before
averaging; zero-stddev fallback finite, never NaN.

* v0.29 engine: batch emotional-weight methods + listPages sort

BrainEngine adds 4 methods, both engines implement:

- batchLoadEmotionalInputs(slugs?): CTE-shaped read with per-table
  pre-aggregates. A page with N tags + M takes never produces N×M rows
  (codex C4#4) — page_tags + page_takes CTEs aggregate independently,
  then LEFT JOIN to pages.

- setEmotionalWeightBatch(rows): UPDATE FROM unnest($1::text[],
  $2::text[], $3::real[]) composite-keyed on (slug, source_id). Multi-
  source brains can't fan out (codex C4#3) — pages.slug is unique only
  within source_id. Same shape that v0.18 link batches use.

- getRecentSalience: time boundary computed in JS, bound as TIMESTAMPTZ.
  SQL identical across engines (codex C5/D5 — avoids dialect drift on
  $1::interval binding which has zero current uses on PGLite).

- findAnomalies: tag + type cohort baselines via generate_series-
  densified daily-count CTEs (codex C4#6). Sparse-day rare cohorts get
  correct (mean, stddev) instead of biased upward by zero-omission.
  Year cohort deferred to v0.30.

listPages threads the new PageFilters.sort enum through both engines.
Was hardcoded ORDER BY updated_at DESC; now PAGE_SORT_SQL whitelist
maps the 4 enum values to literal SQL fragments — no injection surface.
postgres.js uses sql.unsafe; PGLite splices the fragment directly.

Regression tests (PGLite, no DATABASE_URL needed):

- multi-source-emotional-weight: same slug under two source_ids,
  setEmotionalWeightBatch on one of them, asserts the other survives
  untouched. Direct codex C4#3 guard.

- list-pages-regression (IRON RULE): old call shape (type, tag, limit)
  still returns updated_desc default; new sort=updated_asc reverses;
  sort=created_desc orders by created_at; sort=slug alphabetical;
  unsupported sort enum falls back to default (defense in depth).

* v0.29 cycle: new recompute_emotional_weight phase

Adds a 9th cycle phase between extract and embed. Sees the union of
syncPagesAffected + synthesizeWrittenSlugs for incremental mode (so
synthesize-written pages get their weight computed too — codex C2 caught
that the prior plan threaded only sync). Full mode (no incremental
anchors) walks every page; users hit this path on first upgrade via
gbrain dream --phase recompute_emotional_weight.

Phase orchestrator (cycle/recompute-emotional-weight.ts) is two SQL
round-trips total regardless of brain size:
  1. batchLoadEmotionalInputs(slugs?) → per-page tag/take inputs.
  2. computeEmotionalWeight in memory (pure function).
  3. setEmotionalWeightBatch(rows) → composite-keyed UPDATE FROM unnest.

Empty affectedSlugs short-circuits (no DB read, no write). Dry-run
computes weights and reports the would-write count without touching
the DB. Engine throw bubbles into status:fail with code
RECOMPUTE_EMOTIONAL_WEIGHT_FAIL — cycle continues to the next phase.

Plumbing:
- CyclePhase type adds 'recompute_emotional_weight'.
- ALL_PHASES + NEEDS_LOCK_PHASES include it.
- CycleReport.totals adds pages_emotional_weight_recomputed (additive,
  schema_version stays "1").
- runCycle's totals rollup + status derivation honor the new field.
- synthesize.ts emits writtenSlugs in details so cycle.ts can union
  with syncPagesAffected for incremental backfill.

Tests: 7-case unit (fake-engine), 3-case PGLite e2e (full mode + dry-
run + ALL_PHASES position), 1000-page perf budget (<5s on PGLite).

Codex C2 → A: clean separation. Phase doesn't modify runExtractCore;
runs on its own seam after the existing 8 phases plus synthesize.

* v0.29 ops: get_recent_salience + find_anomalies + get_recent_transcripts

Three new MCP operations + a transcripts library:

- get_recent_salience: pages ranked by emotional + activity salience.
  Subagent-allow-listed. params: days (default 14), limit (default 20,
  capped 100), slugPrefix (renamed from `kind` per codex C4#10 to
  avoid collision with PageKind/TakeKind).

- find_anomalies: cohort-level activity outliers (tag + type).
  Subagent-allow-listed. Year cohort deferred to v0.30.

- get_recent_transcripts: raw .txt transcripts from the dream-cycle
  corpus dirs. LOCAL-ONLY: rejects ctx.remote === true with
  permission_denied (codex C3). NOT in the subagent allow-list — all
  subagent calls run with remote=true, would always reject (footgun if
  visible). Cycle's synthesize phase calls discoverTranscripts
  directly, so subagents that need transcripts go through the library
  function, not the op.

Tool descriptions extracted to src/core/operations-descriptions.ts so
they're pinnable in tests and stable for the Tier-2 LLM routing eval.
Redirects on query/search/list_pages: personal/emotional questions
should reach the new ops, not semantic search. Anti-flattery hint on
query: "Do NOT assume words like crazy, notable, or big mean
impressive — they often mean difficult or emotionally charged."

list_pages gains updated_after (string ISO) and sort enum params,
surfacing the engine threading from the prior commit.

src/core/transcripts.ts: filesystem walk shared by the gated MCP op
and the (commit 5) CLI command. Reuses discoverTranscripts corpus-dir
resolution + isDreamOutput from cycle/transcript-discovery.ts. Trust
gate lives in the op handler, not the library — the library is
trusted by both the gated op and the local CLI.

Allow-list: 11 → 13 (add salience + anomalies; transcripts excluded
per codex C3, with a comment explaining why).

Tests: 21-case description pin (catches accidental edits that change
LLM-facing surface); 11-case transcripts unit covering trust gate,
mtime window, dream-output skip, summary truncation, no corpus_dir;
2-case salience type-contract smoke (full Garry-test fixture in commit
6's e2e suite).

Codex C1: routing-eval fixtures (skills/<x>/routing-eval.jsonl)
deliberately NOT shipped — routing-eval.ts is substring-match on
resolver triggers, not MCP tool routing. Real coverage lands as
test/e2e/salience-llm-routing.test.ts in commit 6.

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

* v0.29 CLI: gbrain salience / anomalies / transcripts

Three new CLI commands wired into src/cli.ts dispatch + CLI_ONLY set +
help text:

- gbrain salience [--days N] [--limit N] [--kind PREFIX] [--json]
- gbrain anomalies [--since YYYY-MM-DD] [--lookback-days N] [--sigma N] [--json]
- gbrain transcripts recent [--days N] [--full] [--json]

Each command file mirrors src/commands/orphans.ts shape: pure data fn
+ JSON formatter + human formatter. Calls into engine.getRecentSalience
/ findAnomalies (already shipped) and src/core/transcripts.ts.

salience and anomalies show ranked rows with per-cohort
mean/stddev/sigma. transcripts honors `--full` (caps at 100KB/file)
vs default summary (first non-empty line + ~250 chars). All three
emit JSON with --json for agent consumption.

`--kind` is accepted as a slug-prefix shorthand on `gbrain salience`
even though the underlying op param is `slugPrefix` (kept the CLI
flag short; the MCP-facing param uses the more-explicit name to
align with PageKind/TakeKind/slugPrefix vocabulary).

CLI_ONLY set in src/cli.ts gains the three new command names so
they don't get forwarded to MCP-only routing.

* v0.29 e2e: Garry-test fixtures + Postgres parity + LLM routing eval

PGLite e2e (no DATABASE_URL needed):

- salience-pglite: the Garry test. 7 wedding-tagged pages updated today
  + 100 background pages backdated across 30 days via raw SQL UPDATE
  (codex C4#7 — engine.putPage stamps updated_at = now(), so seeding
  via the engine alone can't reproduce historical recency windows).
  Asserts wedding pages outrank random-tag noise in the 7-day window;
  slugPrefix filter narrows correctly; days=0 boundary case; limit cap.

- anomalies-pglite: same fixture shape (7 wedding pages today, 100
  background backdated). findAnomalies with sigma=3 returns the
  wedding-tag cohort with sigma_observed > 3 vs near-zero baseline;
  page_slugs sample carries the wedding pages; date with no activity
  returns []; high sigma threshold suppresses borderline cohorts
  (zero-stddev fallback stays finite — no NaN sigma).

Postgres-gated e2e:

- engine-parity-salience: PGLite ↔ Postgres parity for getRecentSalience
  and findAnomalies. Same fixture into both engines; top-result and
  cohort-set match. Closes the v0.22.0-style parity gap for the new
  v0.29 SQL idioms (EXTRACT(EPOCH ...), generate_series, CTE chain).

Tier-2 LLM routing eval (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY-gated):

- salience-llm-routing: calls Claude with v0.29 tool descriptions and
  12 personal-query phrasings ("anything crazy lately", "what's been
  going on with me", etc.). Asserts the chosen tool is in the v0.29
  set, not query() / search(). ~$0.10 per CI run on Haiku. Tests the
  ACTUAL ship criterion — replaces the discarded fake-coverage
  routing-eval.jsonl fixtures (codex C1 → B).

This is the only test that proves the description edits drive routing.
Without it, we'd ship description changes and only learn from
production behavior.

* v0.29.0: ship-prep — VERSION + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE Key Files

VERSION + package.json bump 0.28.0 → 0.29.0.

CHANGELOG.md adds a v0.29.0 release-summary in the GStack/Garry voice
plus the "To take advantage of v0.29.0" block. Headline two-liner:
"The brain tells you what's hot without being asked. Salience +
anomaly detection ship. Search rewards hypotheses; salience surfaces
them." Numbers-that-matter table covers engine surface delta, MCP op
delta, allow-list delta, cycle-phase delta, schema migration, list_pages
param surface, and test count. Itemized changes section lists the
schema migration + new cycle phase + new MCP ops + redirect
descriptions + subagent allow-list rules + new tests + a contributor
note clarifying that routing-eval.ts is not the right surface for
testing MCP tool routing (use the Tier-2 LLM eval pattern instead).

CLAUDE.md Key Files updated for the v0.29 surface:

- src/core/engine.ts: notes the 4 new methods + PageFilters.sort threading.
- src/core/migrate.ts: v34 (pages_emotional_weight) entry.
- src/core/cycle.ts: 8 → 9 phases, recompute_emotional_weight inserted
  between patterns and embed; totals.pages_emotional_weight_recomputed.
- src/core/cycle/emotional-weight.ts (NEW): formula + override path.
- src/core/cycle/anomaly.ts (NEW): stats helpers + zero-stddev fallback.
- src/core/cycle/recompute-emotional-weight.ts (NEW): phase orchestrator.
- src/core/transcripts.ts (NEW): library shared by gated MCP op + CLI.
- src/core/operations-descriptions.ts (NEW): pinned tool descriptions.
- src/core/minions/tools/brain-allowlist.ts: 11 → 13 entries; comment
  on why get_recent_transcripts is excluded.
- src/commands/salience.ts / anomalies.ts / transcripts.ts (NEW): CLI surface.

* v0.29.1 feat: recency + salience as two orthogonal options on query op (#696)

* feat: recency boost for search (v0.27.0) — temporal intent auto-detection, date filters, configurable decay

New search pipeline stage: keyword + vector → RRF → cosine re-score → backlink boost → recency boost → dedup

- applyRecencyBoost: hyperbolic decay, two strengths (moderate 30-day halflife, aggressive 7-day halflife)
- Auto-enabled when intent.ts detects temporal/event queries (detail='high')
- Manual override via SearchOpts.recencyBoost (0/1/2)
- Date filtering: afterDate/beforeDate on all three search paths (keyword, keywordChunks, vector)
- getPageTimestamps on both Postgres and PGLite engines
- 15 tests passing (boost math + intent classification)

* v0.29.1 schema: pages.{effective_date, effective_date_source, import_filename, salience_touched_at} + expression index

Migration v38 adds 4 nullable columns to pages and an expression index on
COALESCE(effective_date, updated_at) to support the new since/until date
filters. All additive — no behavior change in the default search path; only
consulted when callers opt into the new salience='on' / recency='on' axes
or pass since/until.

  effective_date         — content date (event_date / date / published /
                           filename-date / fallback). Read by recency boost
                           and date-filter paths only. Auto-link doesn't
                           touch it (immune to updated_at churn).
  effective_date_source  — sentinel for the doctor's effective_date_health
                           check ('event_date' | 'date' | 'published' |
                           'filename' | 'fallback').
  import_filename        — basename without extension, captured at import.
                           Used for filename-date precedence on daily/,
                           meetings/. Older rows leave it NULL.
  salience_touched_at    — bumped by recompute_emotional_weight when
                           emotional_weight changes. Salience window uses
                           GREATEST(updated_at, salience_touched_at) so
                           newly-salient old pages enter the recent salience
                           query.

Index strategy: a partial index on effective_date alone wouldn't help the
COALESCE expression in since/until filters (planner can't use it for the
negative side). The expression index ((COALESCE(effective_date, updated_at)))
is what actually accelerates the filter.

Postgres uses CONCURRENTLY + v14-style pg_index.indisvalid pre-drop guard
for prior failed CONCURRENTLY runs; PGLite uses plain CREATE INDEX. Mirror
of v34's pattern.

src/schema.sql + src/core/pglite-schema.ts updated for fresh installs;
src/core/schema-embedded.ts regenerated via bun run build:schema.

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

* v0.29.1: computeEffectiveDate helper + putPage integration

Pure helper computing a page's effective_date from frontmatter precedence:
  1. event_date (meeting/event pages)
  2. date (dated essays)
  3. published (writing/)
  4. filename-date (leading YYYY-MM-DD in basename)
  5. updated_at (fallback)
  6. created_at (last resort)

Per-prefix override: for daily/ and meetings/ slugs, filename-date jumps
to position 1 — the filename is the user's primary signal there.

Returns {date, source}. The source label powers the doctor's
effective_date_health check to detect "fell back to updated_at" rows that
look populated but are functionally a NULL.

Range validation: parsed value must be in [1990-01-01, NOW + 1 year].
Out-of-range values drop to the next chain element.

Wired into importFromContent + importFromFile. The put_page MCP op derives
filename from slug-tail when no caller-supplied filename is available.

putPage SQL on both engines extended to write the new columns. ON CONFLICT
uses COALESCE(EXCLUDED.x, pages.x) so callers that don't know about the
new columns (auto-link, code reindex) preserve existing values rather than
blanking them. SELECT projection extended to return them; rowToPage threads
them through.

21 unit tests covering: precedence chain default order, per-prefix override,
parse failure fall-through, range validation [1990, NOW+1y], parseDateLoose
shape variants. All pass; typecheck clean.

* v0.29.1: backfill orchestrator + library function for existing pages

src/core/backfill-effective-date.ts is the shared library function. Walks
pages in keyset-paginated batches (id > last_id ORDER BY id LIMIT 1000),
runs computeEffectiveDate per row, UPDATEs effective_date +
effective_date_source. Resumable via the `backfill.effective_date.last_id`
checkpoint key in the config table — a killed process can re-run and pick
up without re-doing rows. Idempotent: a full re-walk produces the same
writes.

Postgres-only: SET LOCAL statement_timeout = '600s' per batch. Doesn't
refuse the migration on low session settings (codex pass-2 #16).

src/commands/migrations/v0_29_1.ts is the orchestrator (4 phases mirroring
v0_12_2). Phase A schema (gbrain init --migrate-only), Phase B backfill
(via the library function), Phase C verify (count NULL effective_date),
Phase D record (handled by runner). The library function is reusable from
the gbrain reindex-frontmatter CLI command in the next commit.

import_filename stays NULL for backfilled rows — pre-v0.29.1 imports
didn't capture it. computeEffectiveDate uses the slug-tail when filename
is NULL; daily/2024-03-15 backfilled gets effective_date from the slug.

Registered in src/commands/migrations/index.ts.

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

* v0.29.1: gbrain reindex-frontmatter CLI command

Recovery / explicit-rebuild path for pages.effective_date. Used when:
  - User edited frontmatter dates after import
  - Post-upgrade backfill orchestrator finished but the user wants to
    re-walk a subset (e.g. just meetings/) after fixing some frontmatter
  - Precedence rules change between releases

Thin wrapper over backfillEffectiveDate from commit 3 — same code path
the v0_29_1 orchestrator uses; one source of truth.

Flags mirror reindex-code:
  --source <id>      Scope to one sources row (placeholder; library
                     library doesn't filter by source today, tracked v0.30+)
  --slug-prefix P    Scope to slugs starting with P (e.g. 'meetings/')
  --dry-run          Print what WOULD change, no DB writes
  --yes              Skip confirmation prompt (required for non-TTY non-JSON)
  --json             Machine-readable result envelope
  --force            Re-apply even when computed value matches existing

Wired into src/cli.ts. CLI handles its own engine lifecycle (creates +
disconnects).

* v0.29.1: recency-decay map + buildRecencyComponentSql (pure, unused)

src/core/search/recency-decay.ts mirrors source-boost.ts in shape but
drives RECENCY ONLY (per D9 codex resolution). Salience is a separate
orthogonal axis; this map does not feed it.

DEFAULT_RECENCY_DECAY: 10 generic prefixes (no fork-specific names).
  - concepts/      evergreen (halflifeDays=0)
  - originals/     180d × 0.5 (long-tail decay; new essays nudged)
  - writing/       365d × 0.4
  - daily/         14d × 1.5  (aggressive — freshness IS the signal)
  - meetings/      60d × 1.0
  - chat/          7d × 1.0
  - media/x/       7d × 1.5

DEFAULT_FALLBACK: 90d × 0.5 for unmatched slugs.

Override priority: defaults < gbrain.yml recency: < env (GBRAIN_RECENCY_DECAY)
< per-call SearchOpts.recency_decay.

parseRecencyDecayEnv format: comma-separated prefix:halflifeDays:coefficient
triples. Refuses LOUD on parse error (RecencyDecayParseError) — codex
pass-2 #M3 finding. No silent fallback like source-boost's parser.

parseRecencyDecayYaml takes already-parsed YAML; throws on bad shape.

buildRecencyComponentSql in sql-ranking.ts emits a CASE expression with
longest-prefix-first ordering, evergreen short-circuit (literal 0 when
halflifeDays=0 or coefficient=0), and EXTRACT(EPOCH ...) for non-zero
branches. Output: ((CASE WHEN p.slug LIKE 'daily/%' THEN 1.5 * 14.0 /
(14.0 + EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (NOW() - <dateExpr>))/86400.0) ... END))

Typed NowExpr enum prevents SQL injection (codex pass-1 #5). Tests pass
{ kind: 'fixed', isoUtc } for deterministic output; production NOW().
The 'fixed' branch escapes single quotes via escapeSqlLiteral.

25 unit tests covering: env parser shape, env error cases, yaml parser
shape, merge precedence (defaults < yaml < env < caller), CASE longest-
prefix-first ordering, evergreen short-circuit, NowExpr fixed/now,
single-quote injection defense, empty decayMap fallback path, default
map composition (no fork names, concepts/ evergreen, daily/ aggressive).

Pure module. Zero consumers in this commit; commit 6 wires it into
getRecentSalience, commit 10 wires it into the post-fusion stage.

* v0.29.1: refactor getRecentSalience to consume buildRecencyComponentSql

Both engines (Postgres + PGLite) now build the salience formula's third
term via buildRecencyComponentSql instead of inlining 1.0 / (1 + days_old).
Parameters: empty decayMap + fallback { halflifeDays: 1, coefficient: 1.0 }.
Math expands to 1 * 1.0 / (1.0 + days_old) = 1 / (1 + days_old) — same
numeric output as v0.29.0.

This is a no-behavior-change refactor preparing for commit 7's recency_bias
param. recency_bias='flat' (default) reproduces v0.29.0 exactly; 'on'
swaps in DEFAULT_RECENCY_DECAY for per-prefix decay.

Single source of truth for the recency math: same builder feeds the
salience query AND (in commit 10) the post-fusion applyRecencyBoost stage.

* v0.29.1: get_recent_salience gains recency_bias param (default 'flat')

SalienceOpts.recency_bias: 'flat' | 'on' added; default 'flat' preserves
v0.29.0 ranking verbatim. Pass 'on' to opt into per-prefix decay map
(concepts/originals/writing/ evergreen; daily/, media/x/, chat/ aggressive
decay).

When recency_bias='on', the salience query reads
COALESCE(p.effective_date, p.updated_at) instead of bare p.updated_at, so
the recency component is immune to auto-link updated_at churn — old
concepts/ pages just-touched by auto-link don't suddenly look fresh.

Both engines (Postgres + PGLite) wire the param through. resolveRecencyDecayMap()
honors gbrain.yml + GBRAIN_RECENCY_DECAY env at runtime.

MCP op surface: get_recent_salience gains the param with a load-bearing
description teaching the agent when to use 'on' vs 'flat' (current state →
on; mattering across all time → flat).

No silent v0.29.0 behavior change — opt-in only (per D11 codex resolution).

* v0.29.1: recompute_emotional_weight writes salience_touched_at; window picks up newly-salient pages

setEmotionalWeightBatch on both engines now bumps salience_touched_at to
NOW() ONLY when the new emotional_weight differs from the existing one
(IS DISTINCT FROM, NULL-safe). No-op writes (same weight) leave the
column alone — preserves "actual change" semantics.

getRecentSalience window changes from
  WHERE p.updated_at >= boundary
to
  WHERE GREATEST(p.updated_at, COALESCE(p.salience_touched_at, p.updated_at)) >= boundary

Closes codex pass-1 finding #4: pages whose emotional_weight just changed
in the dream cycle (because tags or takes shifted) but whose updated_at
is older than the salience window now correctly enter the recent-salience
results. Without this, "Garry just added a take to a 6-month-old page"
stayed invisible to get_recent_salience until the next content edit.

COALESCE(salience_touched_at, p.updated_at) handles pre-v0.29.1 rows
where salience_touched_at is NULL — they fall back to p.updated_at and
behave identically to v0.29.0.

* v0.29.1: merge intent.ts → query-intent.ts; emit 3 suggestions per query

D1 + D4 + D6 + D8: single regex-pass classifier returning
{intent, suggestedDetail, suggestedSalience, suggestedRecency}.

intent + suggestedDetail are v0.29.0 behavior verbatim (legacy intent.ts
deleted; classifyQueryIntent + autoDetectDetail compat shims preserved).

NEW for v0.29.1 — two orthogonal recency-axis suggestions:

  suggestedSalience: 'off' | 'on' | 'strong'
  suggestedRecency:  'off' | 'on' | 'strong'

Resolution rules (per D6 narrow temporal-bound exception):
  - CANONICAL patterns (who is X / what is Y / code / graph) → both off
  - UNLESS an EXPLICIT_TEMPORAL_BOUND also matches (today / right now /
    this week / since X / last N days), in which case temporal-bound wins
  - STRONG_RECENCY (today / right now / this morning / just now) → strong
  - RECENCY_ON (latest / recent / this week / meeting prep / catch up
    / remind me / status update) → on
  - SALIENCE_ON (catch up / remind me / status update / prep me /
    what's going on / what matters) → on
  - default → off for both axes (v0.29.1 prime-directive: pure opt-in)

Salience and recency are TRULY orthogonal (per D9). A query like
"latest news on AI" → recency='on' but salience='off' (the user wants
fresh, not emotionally-weighted). "What's going on with widget-co" →
both on. "Who is X right now" → both 'strong'/'on' (temporal bound
beats canonical 'who is').

intent.ts deleted; test/intent.test.ts renamed → test/query-intent-legacy.test.ts
(unchanged behavior coverage). New test/query-intent.test.ts adds 21
cases covering all three axes' interactions: canonical wins on bare
'who is', temporal bound overrides, "catch me up" matches with up to 15
chars between, "today" → strong, intent vs recency independence.

Updated callers:
  - src/core/search/hybrid.ts (autoDetectDetail import)
  - test/recency-boost.test.ts (classifyQueryIntent import)
  - test/benchmark-search-quality.ts (autoDetectDetail import)

* v0.29.1: applySalienceBoost + applyRecencyBoost + runPostFusionStages wrapper

D9 + codex pass-1 #2 + #3 + pass-2 #4: salience and recency are TRULY
ORTHOGONAL post-fusion stages, both running from ALL THREE hybridSearch
return paths (keyword-only, embed-failure-fallback, full-hybrid).

NEW src/core/search/hybrid.ts exports:
  - applySalienceBoost(results, scores, strength)
      score *= 1 + k * log(1 + score) where k = 0.15 (on) or 0.30 (strong)
      No time component. Pure mattering signal.
  - applyRecencyBoost(results, dates, strength, decayMap, fallback, nowMs?)
      Per-prefix decay factor: 1 + strengthMul * coefficient * halflife / (halflife + days_old)
      strengthMul: 1.0 (on) or 1.5 (strong)
      Evergreen prefixes (halflifeDays=0) skipped (factor 1.0).
      Pure recency signal. Independent of mattering.
  - runPostFusionStages(engine, results, opts)
      Wraps backlink + salience + recency. Called from EACH return path so
      keyless installs and embed failures get the same boost surface as
      the full hybrid path.

NEW engine methods (composite-keyed for multi-source isolation):
  - getEffectiveDates(refs: Array<{slug, source_id}>): Map<key, Date>
      Returns COALESCE(effective_date, updated_at, created_at). Key format:
      `${source_id}::${slug}`. Mirror of getBacklinkCounts shape.
  - getSalienceScores(refs: Array<{slug, source_id}>): Map<key, number>
      Returns emotional_weight × 5 + ln(1 + take_count). Composite key.

Deprecated (kept for back-compat through v0.29.x):
  - SearchOpts.afterDate / beforeDate (alias for since/until)
  - SearchOpts.recencyBoost: 0|1|2 (alias for recency: 'off'|'on'|'strong')
  - getPageTimestamps (use getEffectiveDates instead)

NEW SearchOpts fields:
  - salience: 'off' | 'on' | 'strong'
  - recency:  'off' | 'on' | 'strong'
  - since:    string (ISO-8601 or relative, replaces afterDate)
  - until:    string (replaces beforeDate)

Resolution: caller-explicit > legacy alias (recencyBoost) > heuristic
(classifyQuery's suggestedSalience / suggestedRecency).

Deleted: src/core/search/recency.ts (PR #618's, replaced) +
test/recency-boost.test.ts (its scope is replaced by query-intent.test.ts +
future post-fusion tests).

* v0.29.1: query op gains salience + recency + since + until params; PGLite since/until parity

Combines commits 12 + 13 of the plan.

Query op surface (src/core/operations.ts):
  - salience: 'off' | 'on' | 'strong' (with load-bearing description)
  - recency:  'off' | 'on' | 'strong'
  - since:    string (ISO-8601 or relative; replaces deprecated afterDate)
  - until:    string (replaces deprecated beforeDate)

Tool descriptions teach the calling agent:
  - salience axis = mattering, no time component
  - recency axis = age decay, no mattering signal
  - omit either to let gbrain auto-detect from query text via classifyQuery

hybrid.ts maps since/until → afterDate/beforeDate at the engine call
boundary so PR #618's existing engine plumbing keeps working without
rename. Codex pass-1 #10 finding closed.

PGLite engine (codex pass-1 #10): since/until parity added to all three
search methods (searchKeyword, searchKeywordChunks, searchVector). SQL
filter against COALESCE(p.effective_date, p.updated_at, p.created_at)
so date filtering matches user content-date intent (a meeting was on
event_date, not when it got reimported). Filter is applied INSIDE the
HNSW inner CTE in searchVector so HNSW's candidate pool already
excludes out-of-range pages — preserves pagination contract.

This also closes existing cross-engine drift: pre-v0.29.1 Postgres had
afterDate/beforeDate from PR #618; PGLite had nothing.

* v0.29.1: migration v39 — eval_candidates capture columns for replay reproducibility

D11 codex pass-2 resolution: extend eval_candidates with 7 new nullable
columns so `gbrain eval replay` can reproduce captured runs of agent-explicit
salience + recency choices.

Without these columns, replays of the new axis params drift. The live
behavior depends on the resolved {salience, recency} values; v0.29.0's
schema doesn't capture them.

  as_of_ts            TIMESTAMPTZ  — brain's logical NOW at capture
                                     (replay uses this instead of wall-clock)
  salience_param      TEXT         — what the caller passed (NULL if omitted)
  recency_param       TEXT         — same
  salience_resolved   TEXT         — final value applied
  recency_resolved    TEXT         — same
  salience_source     TEXT         — 'caller' or 'auto_heuristic'
  recency_source      TEXT         — same

All nullable + additive. Pre-v0.29.1 rows stay valid. NDJSON
schema_version STAYS at 1 — consumers ignore unknown fields (codex
pass-1 #C2 dissolves; no cross-repo coordination needed).

ADD COLUMN with no DEFAULT is metadata-only on PG 11+ and PGLite —
instant on tables of any size.

src/schema.sql + src/core/pglite-schema.ts mirror the additions for fresh
installs; src/core/schema-embedded.ts regenerated. eval_capture.ts
populates the new fields in commit 16 (docs + ship).

* v0.29.1: doctor checks — effective_date_health + salience_health

effective_date_health: sample-1000 scan detects three classes of
problems (codex pass-1 #5 resolution via the effective_date_source
sentinel column added in commit 1):

  fallback_with_fm_date  — page fell back to updated_at even though
                           frontmatter has parseable event_date / date /
                           published. The "wrong but populated" residual
                           that earlier review iterations missed.
  future_dated            — effective_date > NOW() + 1 year (corrupt
                            or typo'd century).
  pre_1990                — effective_date < 1990-01-01 (epoch math gone
                            wrong, bad parse).

Sample of last 1000 pages by default — fast on 200K-page brains. Fix
hint: gbrain reindex-frontmatter.

salience_health: detects pages with active takes whose emotional_weight
is still 0 (recompute_emotional_weight phase hasn't run since the
take landed). Reports the brain's non-zero emotional_weight count as
an informational baseline. Fix hint: gbrain dream --phase
recompute_emotional_weight.

Both checks gracefully skip on pre-v0.29.1 brains (column doesn't
exist → 42703) without surfacing as warnings.

* v0.29.1: docs + skills convention + CHANGELOG + version bump

- VERSION 0.29.0 → 0.29.1
- package.json version bump
- CHANGELOG.md: full release-summary + itemized + "To take advantage"
  block per the project's voice rules. Two-line headline + concrete
  pathology framing (existing callers unchanged; new axes opt-in;
  agent in charge per the prime directive).
- skills/conventions/salience-and-recency.md: agent-readable decision
  rules. "Current state → on. Canonical truth → off." plus the narrow
  temporal-bound exception. Cross-cutting convention propagates to
  brain skills via RESOLVER.md.
- skills/migrations/v0.29.1.md: agent-readable upgrade instructions.
  Verify steps + behavior-change reference + recovery commands.

The build-time tool-description generator from D2 (extract decision
tables from skills/conventions/salience-and-recency.md, embed into
operations.ts at build time) is deferred to a follow-up commit. The
tool descriptions on the query op + get_recent_salience are inline in
operations.ts for v0.29.1; the auto-gen + CI staleness gate land in
v0.29.2 if drift becomes a problem in practice.

148 unit tests pass across the v0.29.1 surface (effective-date,
recency-decay, query-intent, migrate, salience, recompute-emotional-weight).

* v0.29 master-rebase fixups: renumber + drift cleanup

- v0.29.1 migrations renumber v38/v39 → v41/v42 (master shipped takes_table at
  v37 + access_tokens_permissions at v38; v0.27.1 took v39). My v0.29.0
  emotional_weight slots in at v40; v0.29.1's pages_recency_columns lands at
  v41 and eval_candidates_recency_capture at v42.
- src/core/utils.ts comment refs updated v37 → v40 (emotional_weight) and
  v38 → v41 (effective_date/etc).
- test/brain-allowlist.test.ts: size assertion 11 → 13 + the new
  get_recent_salience / find_anomalies positive checks + the explicit
  get_recent_transcripts negative check (v0.29 added the salience pair to
  the allow-list; transcripts are deliberately excluded because all
  subagent calls have remote=true and the v0.29 trust gate rejects them —
  visibility would be a footgun).

* v0.29 CI fixups: privacy allow-list + cycle phase count + migration plan

Three CI test failures on PR #730, all caused by master-side state the
v0.29 cherry-picks didn't yet account for:

1. scripts/check-privacy.sh allow-lists test/recency-decay.test.ts
   The v0.29.1 recency-decay test asserts that DEFAULT_RECENCY_DECAY's
   keys do NOT include fork-specific path prefixes. Because the assertion
   has to name the banned tokens to assert their absence, the privacy
   guard flagged the literal occurrence. Same exception class as
   CHANGELOG.md, CLAUDE.md, and scripts/check-privacy.sh itself —
   meta-rule enforcement requires mentioning what the rule forbids.

2. test/core/cycle.serial.test.ts: 9 → 10 phases.
   The yieldBetweenPhases test was written for v0.26.5 (9 phases incl.
   purge). v0.29 added a 10th phase (recompute_emotional_weight)
   between patterns and embed; the test's expected hookCalls and
   report.phases.length needed bumping.

3. test/apply-migrations.test.ts: append '0.29.1' to skippedFuture lists.
   v0.29.1 added a new entry to src/commands/migrations/index.ts; the
   buildPlan test snapshots the exact ordered list of versions, so it
   needs the new entry in both the fresh-install case and the Codex H9
   regression case.

All three verified locally:
  - bash scripts/check-privacy.sh → exit 0
  - bun test test/apply-migrations.test.ts → 18/18 pass
  - bun test test/core/cycle.serial.test.ts → 28/28 pass

* v0.29 CI fixup: regenerate llms-full.txt to match CLAUDE.md state

build-llms test asserts the committed llms.txt + llms-full.txt match
what the generator produces from the current source tree. CLAUDE.md
got new v0.29 Key Files entries (recompute_emotional_weight phase,
emotional-weight formula, anomaly stats, transcripts library, salience
ops, etc.) without a corresponding regen. `bun run build:llms` brings
llms-full.txt back in sync; llms.txt is byte-for-byte identical so
only the larger inline bundle changed.

Verified locally: bun test test/build-llms.test.ts → 7/7 pass.

* v0.29 e2e: cover tool-surfaces + MCP dispatch path

Two gaps were uncovered when reviewing v0.29 coverage against the new
contracts the cherry-picks landed onto master.

1. test/v0_29-tool-surfaces.test.ts (unit, 9 cases)

   Existing tests pin the description constants module and the
   BRAIN_TOOL_ALLOWLIST set membership, but nothing checked the two
   filters that ACT on those constants:

   - serve-http.ts:745 filters operations by !op.localOnly to build the
     HTTP MCP tool list. Without a test, anyone removing `localOnly: true`
     from get_recent_transcripts would silently expose it to remote
     callers — defense-in-depth on top of the in-handler ctx.remote check
     would be the only guard. Now pinned: get_recent_transcripts is
     hidden, salience + anomalies stay visible.

   - buildBrainTools surfaces the v0.29 ops as `brain_get_recent_salience`
     and `brain_find_anomalies`, and EXCLUDES `brain_get_recent_transcripts`
     (codex C3 footgun gate — all subagent calls are remote=true, the op
     would always reject). Now pinned.

   Both filters are pure functions; no DB / engine.connect needed.

2. test/e2e/v0_29-mcp-dispatch-pglite.test.ts (e2e, 5 cases)

   Existing v0.29 e2e tests call engine methods directly. None went
   through the full dispatchToolCall pipeline that stdio MCP and HTTP
   MCP both use. The new file covers:

   - get_recent_salience returns ranked rows via dispatch (top result
     is the wedding-tagged page from the seeded fixture).
   - find_anomalies returns the AnomalyResult shape via dispatch.
   - get_recent_transcripts rejects with permission_denied when
     ctx.remote === true (the in-handler trust gate is the last line if
     localOnly ever drops).
   - get_recent_transcripts succeeds with ctx.remote === false (CLI
     path) and returns [] when no corpus dir is configured.
   - Unknown tool name returns the standard isError + "Unknown tool"
     envelope (regression guard for dispatch shape).

Verified locally — all 14 cases pass:
  bun test test/v0_29-tool-surfaces.test.ts                          → 9 pass
  bun test test/e2e/v0_29-mcp-dispatch-pglite.test.ts                → 5 pass

Re-ran the full v0.29 PGLite e2e suite to confirm no regressions:
  salience-pglite.test.ts                       5 pass
  anomalies-pglite.test.ts                      4 pass
  cycle-recompute-emotional-weight-pglite.test  3 pass
  list-pages-regression.test.ts                 6 pass
  multi-source-emotional-weight-pglite.test     4 pass
  backfill-perf-pglite.test.ts                  1 pass
  v0_29-mcp-dispatch-pglite.test.ts             5 pass
  -----
  Total: 28 pass / 0 fail
  Postgres parity test (DATABASE_URL gated)     7 skip (correct)
  LLM routing eval (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY gated)   12 skip (correct)
  bun run typecheck                             clean

* v0.29 CI fixup: drop unused PGLiteEngine in tool-surfaces test

scripts/check-test-isolation.sh's R3 + R4 lints flagged the new
test/v0_29-tool-surfaces.test.ts for instantiating PGLiteEngine outside
a beforeAll() block (R3) and lacking the matching afterAll(disconnect)
(R4). The intent of those rules is to prevent engine leaks across the
shard process — every PGLiteEngine must follow the canonical
beforeAll(connect+initSchema) / afterAll(disconnect) pattern.

The fix here is upstream of the rule, not a workaround: this test never
needed an engine. buildBrainTools doesn't issue any SQL at registry-build
time — it only reads `engine.kind` for the put_page namespace-wrap
branch. A `{ kind: 'pglite' } as unknown as BrainEngine` fake-engine
literal keeps the test pure-function: no WASM cold-start, no connect
lifecycle, no test-isolation rule fired.

Verified locally:
  bash scripts/check-test-isolation.sh → OK (257 non-serial unit files)
  bun test test/v0_29-tool-surfaces.test.ts → 9 pass
  bun run typecheck → clean

058fe69575 v0.26.7 test: isolation foundation (helpers + lint + quarantine) (#613)
* test: add withEnv helper + canonical PGLite block JSDoc

withEnv(overrides, fn) saves prior values, runs the callback, restores
via try/finally — including on throw. Handles delete via undefined
override. Nested calls compose. Cross-test safe; explicitly NOT
intra-file concurrent-safe (process.env is process-global).

7 unit cases covering sync, async, delete-key, delete-when-prior-unset,
restore-on-throw, nested compose, multi-key atomic restore.

reset-pglite.ts JSDoc extended with the canonical 4-line PGLite block
(beforeAll create + afterAll disconnect + beforeEach reset). The lint
script in the next commit enforces this exact shape.

* test: add check-test-isolation lint script + wire into verify

Grep-based lint enforcing 4 rules on non-serial unit test files:
  R1: no process.env mutations (use withEnv() or rename to *.serial.test.ts)
  R2: no mock.module() (rename to *.serial.test.ts)
  R3: new PGLiteEngine( only inside beforeAll() context
  R4: PGLiteEngine creators must pair with afterAll{disconnect}

Wired into 'bun run verify' and 'bun run check:all' (NOT 'bun run test'
which is the parallel runner script with no pre-check chain). Matches
the existing scripts/check-*.sh family shape (jsonb, progress, etc).

51 baseline violators captured in scripts/check-test-isolation.allowlist.
List MUST shrink over time — entries removed by v0.26.8 (env sweep) and
v0.26.9 (PGLite sweep). New files cannot be added.

CLAUDE.md ## Testing section extended with R1-R4 rules table, the
canonical 4-line PGLite block, withEnv pattern, and when-to-quarantine
guidance.

16 fixture-driven test cases for the lint: clean, R1 (5 patterns + 1
negative), R2, R3 (top-level vs in-beforeAll), R4 (missing disconnect),
*.serial.test.ts skip, test/e2e/ skip, allowlist (3 cases).

the same shard process. The check-test-isolation lint (R2) bans this
pattern in non-serial files; quarantine is the escape hatch.

Per v0.26.7 plan D5: prefer quarantine over DI on runCycle/runEmbed.
Production signatures stay frozen; tests run at --max-concurrency=1
in the serial post-pass (the existing pattern shipped in v0.26.4 for
brain-registry and reconcile-links).

Quarantine count: 2 → 4. Cap raised to 10 informational per D15.

Renames:
  test/core/cycle.test.ts → test/core/cycle.serial.test.ts
  test/embed.test.ts      → test/embed.serial.test.ts

* docs: post-ship documentation sync for v0.26.7

- README.md "Contributing" line: point to bun run test + bun run verify (parallel fast loop)
- CONTRIBUTING.md "Running tests": rewrite for the v0.26.4/v0.26.7 test surface (parallel runner, verify, slow/serial/e2e tiers)
- CONTRIBUTING.md adds "Writing tests that survive the parallel loop" section: R1-R4 lint, canonical PGLite block, withEnv pattern, when to quarantine
- llms-full.txt regenerated to pick up the README + CONTRIBUTING changes
