8392d434a9 v0.29.2 feat: thin-client mode (gbrain init --mcp-only + gbrain remote ping/doctor + topologies) (#732)
* feat(config): add remote_mcp field + isThinClient() helper

Adds a top-level optional remote_mcp config block to GBrainConfig
(issuer_url, mcp_url, oauth_client_id, oauth_client_secret) for
thin-client installs that consume a remote `gbrain serve --http` over
MCP instead of running a local engine.

isThinClient(config) returns true when remote_mcp is set; used by the
CLI dispatch guard, doctor branch, and init re-run guard. The engine
field stays as today (postgres|pglite); thin-client mode is a separate
config field, NOT an engine kind extension (codex outside-voice review
flagged the engine='remote' extension as overreach).

GBRAIN_REMOTE_CLIENT_SECRET env var overrides the config-file value at
load time so the secret can stay out of disk for headless agents.

Foundation commit for multi-topology v1; no behavior change yet.

* feat(probe): outbound OAuth + MCP smoke probes

Adds three pure async functions over the standard fetch API:
  - discoverOAuth(issuerUrl): GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
  - mintClientCredentialsToken(tokenEndpoint, id, secret): POST /token
  - smokeTestMcp(mcpUrl, accessToken): POST /mcp initialize

Discriminated 'ok=true' / 'ok=false + reason' return shapes so callers
render error messages consistently. No SDK dependency to keep init's
setup-flow scope tight; Lane B's mcp-client.ts will pull in the
official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk Client for full session semantics.

Used by both 'gbrain init --mcp-only' (Lane A's setup smoke) and
runRemoteDoctor (Lane A's thin-client doctor checks).

* feat(init): --mcp-only branch + re-run guard

Adds 'gbrain init --mcp-only' for thin-client setup. Required flags
(or env vars):
  --issuer-url     OAuth root (e.g. https://host:3001)
  --mcp-url        MCP tool dispatch path (e.g. https://host:3001/mcp)
  --oauth-client-id, --oauth-client-secret

Pre-flight runs three smoke probes (discovery, token round-trip, MCP
initialize) BEFORE writing the config — fail-fast on bad URL beats
fail-late on bad credentials. On success, writes ~/.gbrain/config.json
with remote_mcp set and NO local DB created.

Re-run guard (A8): when ~/.gbrain/config.json already has remote_mcp,
'gbrain init' (any flag set) refuses without --force. Catches the
scripted-setup-loop friction from the user-reported scenario where
re-running setup-gbrain on a thin-client machine kept trying to
re-create a local DB.

Two URLs in config (issuer + mcp) instead of one because OAuth
discovery + /token live at the issuer root while tool dispatch is at
/mcp — they compose from a common base in practice but reverse-proxy
setups need them explicit (codex review #2).

Tests: 15 cases covering happy path, env-var-supplied secret stays
out of disk, all four required-flag missing-error paths, three
smoke-failure paths, network-unreachable path, and the four re-run
guard variants (default/--pglite/--mcp-only without --force / with
--force). Uses async Bun.spawn (NOT execFileSync) — sync exec
deadlocks against in-process HTTP fixtures because the parent's
event loop can't accept connections while sync-blocked on a child.

* feat(doctor): runRemoteDoctor for thin-client mode

Replaces every DB-bound check from runDoctor() with a tighter set
scoped to 'is the remote MCP we configured actually reachable?'.
Five checks:
  - config_integrity (URL fields well-formed)
  - oauth_credentials (secret resolvable from env or config file)
  - oauth_discovery (GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server)
  - oauth_token (POST /token client_credentials)
  - mcp_smoke (POST /mcp initialize)

Output shape matches the local doctor's Check surface so JSON
consumers can union the two without conditional logic. schema_version
is 2 (matches local doctor).

collectRemoteDoctorReport() is the pure data collector;
runRemoteDoctor() is the print/exit wrapper. Tests pin the data
collector so we don't have to intercept stdout / process.exit.

Tests: 12 cases over a tiny in-process HTTP fixture covering happy
path, every probe failure mode (404/parse/auth/network/server-error),
malformed-URL config integrity, missing-secret short-circuit, and
the env-var-overrides-config-file secret resolution. withEnv() helper
used for env mutations to satisfy the test-isolation lint.

Module is added but not yet wired into the CLI doctor branch; the
wiring lands in the next commit (cli dispatch guard + doctor routing).

* feat(cli): thin-client dispatch guard + doctor routing

Adds a single canonical refusal at the top of handleCliOnly() for the
9 DB-bound commands when ~/.gbrain/config.json has remote_mcp set:
  sync, embed, extract, migrate, apply-migrations, repair-jsonb,
  orphans, integrity, serve

Single dispatch check (not 9 sprinkled assertLocalEngine calls per
codex review #1) — avoids the blast radius of letting commands enter
connectEngine before the check fires. Refused commands exit 1 with a
canonical error naming the remote mcp_url.

doctor branch routes to runRemoteDoctor when isThinClient(config)
returns true; falls through to the existing local-doctor flow
otherwise. Wires the module added in the previous commit into the
user-facing CLI surface.

Safe commands (init, auth, --version, --help, etc.) still work in
thin-client mode and are NOT in the refused set.

Tests: 14 cases — 9 refused commands × 1 each, 2 safe commands, 1
doctor-routing assertion (fingerprints the thin-client output by
'mode:"thin-client"' in JSON), 2 regression tests asserting local
config still passes through normally.

* docs(topologies): multi-topology architecture guide + setup skill Phase A.5

New docs/architecture/topologies.md covering three deployment shapes:
  1. Single brain (today's default)
  2. Cross-machine thin client (consume a remote brain over MCP)
  3. Split-engine per-worktree (Conductor users with per-worktree
     code engines + shared remote artifacts brain)

Each topology gets an ASCII diagram, when-it-fits guidance, and
concrete setup recipes. Topology 3's alias-level routing footgun
(wrong alias = silent wrong-brain writes) is called out explicitly
per codex review #6.

Topology 3 needs zero gbrain code changes — GBRAIN_HOME already
overrides ~/.gbrain and 'gbrain serve --http --port N' already runs
on any port. gstack composes these primitives on its side.

skills/setup/SKILL.md gets Phase A.5 BEFORE the local-engine phases.
Asks the user which topology fits, walks thin-client setup through
'gbrain init --mcp-only', skips Phases B/C/C.5/H entirely for thin
clients (host's autopilot handles sync/extract/embed).

README.md gets a one-line link to the topology doc from the
Architecture section.

llms-full.txt regenerated to include the new doc.

* test(e2e): thin-client end-to-end skeleton

Spins up 'gbrain serve --http' against real Postgres, registers a
client with read,write,admin scope, runs 'gbrain init --mcp-only'
from a separate tempdir GBRAIN_HOME, exercises the canonical
thin-client flows:

  - init --mcp-only succeeds against the live host
  - doctor reports mode: thin-client + all checks green
  - sync is refused with the canonical thin-client error
  - re-running init refuses without --force

Tier B flows (gbrain remote ping / doctor) will be added alongside
their Lane B implementation. Skips when DATABASE_URL unset (matches
the e2e gate convention used across the suite).

Async Bun.spawn (NOT execFileSync) so the test event loop stays
responsive — execFileSync deadlocks against in-process HTTP fixtures
because the parent's event loop can't accept connections while
sync-blocked on a child process.

* feat(doctor): doctorReportRemote core for thin-client + run_doctor op

Adds three new exports to src/commands/doctor.ts that the run_doctor MCP
op + gbrain remote doctor CLI both consume:

  - DoctorReport interface       schema_version=2 stable shape
  - computeDoctorReport(checks)  status + health_score math
  - doctorReportRemote(engine)   focused 5-check thin-client surface

doctorReportRemote runs:
  1. connection      (engine reachable + page count via getStats)
  2. schema_version  (engine.getConfig('version') vs LATEST_VERSION)
  3. brain_score     (the 5-component composite)
  4. sync_failures   (file-plane JSONL count from gbrainPath('sync-failures.jsonl'))
  5. queue_health    (Postgres-only: stalled active jobs > 1h)

Engine-agnostic: works on both Postgres and PGLite via engine.executeRaw +
engine.getConfig + engine.getHealth — no reliance on db.getConnection()
which is Postgres-only.

Deliberately a focused subset of the local doctor surface, NOT a full
mirror. Generalizing to lint/integrity/orphans is filed as follow-up
pending demand. Local doctor (runDoctor) is unchanged; operators on the
host machine still get the full check set.

schema_version=2 matches the local doctor's --json output schema, so JSON
consumers can union the two without conditional logic.

Tests: 11 unit cases against PGLite covering the 5-check happy path,
schema version reporting (latest), PGLite-specific queue_health
informational message, and the score+status math via computeDoctorReport.

* feat(mcp-client): outbound HTTP MCP client over @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

New src/core/mcp-client.ts wraps the official SDK's Client +
StreamableHTTPClientTransport with OAuth client_credentials minting,
in-process token caching with expires_at, and refresh-on-401 retry.

Public surface:
  - callRemoteTool(config, toolName, args)   tool call w/ auto-refresh
  - unpackToolResult(res)                    parse content[0].text JSON
  - RemoteMcpError                           discriminated by `reason`

Token cache: module-level Map keyed by mcp_url. CLI processes are
short-lived; the cache amortizes when one invocation makes multiple
calls (gbrain remote ping submits then polls). Persisting to disk would
be a credential-on-disk surface for marginal benefit since /token
round-trip is sub-100ms.

401 retry: ONLY for mid-session token rotation (initial good token →
stale → 401). If the FIRST mint fails auth, surface immediately as
RemoteMcpError(auth) — retry won't help when credentials are wrong from
the start. If a fresh-mint-after-401 still 401s, surface as
RemoteMcpError(auth_after_refresh) which the CLI renders with a hint
pointing the operator at gbrain auth register-client.

Used by gbrain remote ping (submit_job + get_job poll) and gbrain
remote doctor (run_doctor). Test-only _clearMcpClientTokenCache export
for fixture isolation.

Tests: 13 unit cases over an in-process HTTP fixture mimicking gbrain
serve --http (OAuth discovery + /token + /mcp JSON-RPC handshake).
Covers happy path, token cache reuse + force-refresh, args passthrough,
config-error paths (no remote_mcp / no secret), token mint 401, network
unreachable, tool isError envelope, and unpackToolResult parse failures.

* feat(operations): add run_doctor MCP op (admin scope, HTTP-reachable)

New op in src/core/operations.ts wraps doctorReportRemote() and returns
the structured DoctorReport JSON over MCP.

  scope:     'admin'       (system-state read; not for routine consumers)
  localOnly: false         (reachable over HTTP)
  mutating:  false         (safe to call repeatedly)
  params:    {}            (no caller arguments needed)

First read-only diagnostic op exposed over HTTP MCP. Used by gbrain
remote doctor — the matching client-side renderer lives in
src/commands/remote.ts.

Precedent: doctor only. Generalizing run_lint / run_integrity /
run_orphans to MCP is filed as follow-up work pending demand. Local
doctor stays unchanged; this op is the operator-friendly subset for
remote callers.

* feat(remote): gbrain remote ping + gbrain remote doctor

Two thin-client convenience commands that round-trip through the host's
HTTP MCP endpoint:

  - gbrain remote ping     submit_job(autopilot-cycle) → poll get_job →
                           exit when terminal. The "I just wrote markdown,
                           tell the host to re-index" affordance.
  - gbrain remote doctor   run_doctor MCP op → render the host's
                           DoctorReport → exit 0/1 based on status.

Both require a thin-client install (~/.gbrain/config.json with
remote_mcp). Local installs get a clear error pointing at the local
equivalents.

Polling backoff (ping): 1s × 30s, then 5s × 5min, then 10s. Default cap
15min, configurable via `--timeout`. Without backoff, a 5-min cycle
would burn 300 round-trips against the host's rate limiter.

Payload uses `data: {phases: [...]}`, NOT `params:` — the submit_job op
shape takes `data`. Codex review #8 catch.

NO `repo` arg passed to autopilot-cycle — uses the server's configured
brain repo. This sidesteps TODO #1144 (sync_brain repo-path validation
for caller-controlled paths) entirely.

src/cli.ts wires the `remote` subcommand into CLI_ONLY + the dispatch.
Help (`gbrain remote --help`) and unknown-subcommand handling included.

* test(e2e): thin-client Tier B + scope-mismatch regression

Extends the existing test/e2e/thin-client.test.ts with three new cases:

  1. gbrain remote doctor returns the host's DoctorReport — pins the
     run_doctor MCP op round-trip. Asserts schema_version=2, all 5
     check names present, connection + schema_version ok against a
     fresh host.
  2. gbrain remote ping triggers autopilot-cycle and returns terminal
     state — pins the submit_job → poll → terminal wire path. Accepts
     any terminal state (success / failed / dead / cancelled / timeout)
     because autopilot on an empty no-repo brain may fail-fast in the
     sync phase. What this test pins is the JSON shape (job_id present,
     state populated), NOT cycle success on a no-repo fixture.
  3. read+write client cannot call run_doctor — codex review #7
     regression guard. Registers a separate client with
     `--scopes "read write"` (no admin), runs `gbrain remote doctor`
     against it, asserts exit 1 with auth/auth_after_refresh/tool_error
     reason. Keeps the verification flow honest: the canonical setup
     MUST require admin scope.

`gbrain auth register-client` doesn't have --json, so the test parses
the human output for "Client ID:" and "Client Secret:" lines via a
helper.

Test-level timeout bumped 60s → 120s for the ping wait + auth/init
overhead.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.29.2)

v0.29.2 ships thin-client mode: gbrain init --mcp-only, gbrain remote

3c032d79ec v0.26.0 feat: GBrain — MCP Keys OAuth 2.1 + HTTP server + admin dashboard (#358)
* feat: OAuth 2.1 schema tables + shared token utilities

Add oauth_clients, oauth_tokens, oauth_codes tables to both PGLite and
Postgres schemas. Migration v5 creates tables for existing databases.
PGLite now includes auth infrastructure (access_tokens, mcp_request_log,
OAuth tables) because `serve --http` makes it network-accessible.

Extract hashToken() and generateToken() to src/core/utils.ts for DRY
reuse across auth.ts and oauth-provider.ts.

* feat: GBrainOAuthProvider — MCP SDK OAuthServerProvider implementation

Implements OAuthServerProvider backed by raw SQL (PGLite or Postgres).
Supports client credentials, authorization code with PKCE, token refresh
with rotation, revocation, and legacy access_tokens fallback.

Key decisions from eng review:
- Uses raw SQL connection, not BrainEngine (OAuth is infrastructure)
- All tokens/secrets SHA-256 hashed before storage
- Legacy tokens grandfathered as read+write+admin
- sweepExpiredTokens() wrapped in try/catch (non-blocking startup)
- Client credentials: no refresh token per RFC 6749 4.4.3

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: scope + localOnly annotations on all 30 operations

Add AuthInfo, scope ('read'|'write'|'admin'), and localOnly fields to
Operation interface. Per-operation audit:
- 14 read ops, 9 write ops, 2 admin ops, 4 admin+localOnly ops
- sync_brain, file_upload, file_list, file_url: admin + localOnly
- Scope enforcement happens in serve-http.ts before handler dispatch

* feat: HTTP MCP server with OAuth 2.1 + 27 OAuth tests

gbrain serve --http starts Express 5 server with:
- MCP SDK mcpAuthRouter (authorize, token, register, revoke endpoints)
- Custom client_credentials handler (SDK doesn't support CC grant)
- Bearer auth + scope enforcement on /mcp tool calls
- Admin dashboard auth via HTTP-only cookie + bootstrap token
- SSE live activity feed at /admin/events
- DCR default OFF (--enable-dcr to enable)
- Rate limiting on /token (50/15min)
- localOnly operations excluded from HTTP

CLI: gbrain serve --http [--port 3131] [--token-ttl 3600] [--enable-dcr]

Dependencies: express@5.2.1, express-rate-limit@7.5.1, cors@2.8.6
SDK pinned to exact 1.29.0 (was ^1.0.0)

27 new tests covering OAuth provider, scope enforcement, auth code flow,
refresh rotation, token revocation, legacy fallback, and sweep.

* feat: React admin dashboard — 7 screens, dark theme, Krug-designed

Admin SPA at /admin with client-side routing (#login, #dashboard,
#agents, #log). Built with Vite + React, served from admin/dist/.

Screens:
- Login: one field, one button, zero happy talk
- Dashboard: metrics bar, SSE live activity feed, token health panel
- Agents: table with scopes/badges, + Register Agent button
- Register: modal form (name, scopes), 3 mindless choices
- Credentials: full-screen modal, copy buttons, download JSON, warning
- Request Log: paginated table (50/page), time-relative timestamps
- Agent Detail: slide-out drawer, config export tabs (Perplexity/Claude/JSON)

Design tokens: #0a0a0f bg, Inter + JetBrains Mono, 4-32px spacing.
Build: bun run build:admin (Vite, 65KB gzipped).
Admin API: /admin/api/register-client endpoint for dashboard registration.
SPA serving: Express static + index.html fallback for client-side routing.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.0.0.0)

Milestone release: multi-agent GBrain with OAuth 2.1, HTTP server,
and React admin dashboard. See CHANGELOG.md for details.

* docs: update project documentation for v1.0.0.0

Sync README, CLAUDE.md, and docs/mcp/ with the OAuth 2.1 + HTTP server
+ admin dashboard surface that shipped in v1.0.0.0.

- README.md: new "Remote MCP with OAuth 2.1" section covering
  gbrain serve --http, admin dashboard, scoped operations, legacy
  bearer fallback; add serve --http + auth notes to the commands
  reference.
- CLAUDE.md: add src/commands/serve-http.ts, src/core/oauth-provider.ts,
  admin/ directory as key files; document scope + localOnly additions
  to Operation contract; add oauth.test.ts (27 cases) to the test list;
  add v1.0.0 key-commands section clarifying that OAuth client
  registration is via the /admin dashboard or SDK (no CLI subcommand).
- docs/mcp/DEPLOY.md: promote --http as the recommended remote path,
  add OAuth 2.1 Setup section, list ChatGPT in supported clients,
  remove the "not yet implemented" footer.
- docs/mcp/CHATGPT.md (new): unblocks the P0 TODO. Full ChatGPT
  connector setup via OAuth 2.1 + PKCE.

* feat: wire gbrain auth subcommand with OAuth register-client

Previously auth.ts was a standalone script invoked via
`bun run src/commands/auth.ts`. CHANGELOG and README documented
`gbrain auth ...` commands that didn't actually work.

- Export `runAuth(args)` from auth.ts (keeps standalone entry intact
  via `import.meta.url === file://${process.argv[1]}` check)
- Add `auth` to CLI_ONLY + dispatch in handleCliOnly
- New subcommand `gbrain auth register-client <name> [--grant-types]
  [--scopes]` wraps GBrainOAuthProvider.registerClientManual
- Lazy DB check: only subcommands that need DATABASE_URL error out

Now the documented CLI flow works end to end:
  gbrain auth register-client perplexity --grant-types client_credentials --scopes "read write"
  gbrain serve --http --port 3131

* docs: reflect wired gbrain auth register-client CLI

After /ship, the doc subagent wrote docs assuming `gbrain auth
register-client` did not exist (it said so explicitly in CLAUDE.md:184).
A follow-up commit (c4a86ce) wired it into src/cli.ts + src/commands/auth.ts.
These docs were now contradicting reality.

- CLAUDE.md: removed "There is no gbrain auth register-client CLI
  subcommand" claim, documented the three registration paths
  (CLI / dashboard / SDK).
- README.md: replaced `bun run src/commands/auth.ts` hint with
  `gbrain auth create|list|revoke|test` and `gbrain auth register-client`.
- docs/mcp/DEPLOY.md: added CLI registration example above the
  programmatic example.
- TODOS.md: moved "ChatGPT MCP support (OAuth 2.1)" P0 item to
  Completed with v1.0.0.0 completion note. Closes the P0 that had been
  blocking the "every AI client" promise since v0.6.

* fix: enable RLS on OAuth tables + loosen v24-exact test assertion

CI Tier 1 (Mechanical) was failing on 4 E2E tests after the v0.18.1 RLS
hardening landed on master (PR #343). Our v25 oauth_infrastructure migration
adds 3 new public tables (oauth_clients, oauth_tokens, oauth_codes) but
didn't enable RLS, so gbrain doctor's new check flagged them and the
"RLS on every public table" assertion failed.

Fixes:
- src/schema.sql: ALTER TABLE ... ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY for the 3 OAuth
  tables inside the existing BYPASSRLS-gated DO block (fresh installs).
- src/core/migrate.ts v25: append a BYPASSRLS-gated DO block after the OAuth
  CREATE TABLE statements (existing installs on upgrade). Mirrors the v24
  rls_backfill gating pattern — RAISE WARNING if the current role lacks
  BYPASSRLS, so migrations don't silently lock the operator out.
- src/core/schema-embedded.ts: regenerated via `bun run build:schema`.
- test/e2e/mechanical.test.ts: one unrelated v24 test asserted the post-
  migration version equals exactly '24'. That breaks when any later
  migration exists (like our v25). Relaxed to `>= 24` since the test's
  intent is "v24 didn't abort the chain", not "v24 is the final version".

Verified locally: 78/78 E2E tests pass against real Postgres 16 + pgvector.

* chore: regenerate llms-full.txt for v1.0.0 docs

CI test/build-llms.test.ts > committed llms.txt + llms-full.txt match
current generator output failed. The committed llms-full.txt was built
before the v1.0.0 doc updates landed (OAuth 2.1 README section, new
docs/mcp/CHATGPT.md, CLAUDE.md serve-http references, etc.), so the
regen-drift guard flagged it.

Ran `bun run build:llms`. llms.txt is unchanged (skinny index still
matches); llms-full.txt picks up 166 net-new lines of bundled content.

* connected-gbrains PR 0 — minimal runtime (mounts, registry, aggregated RESOLVER) (#372)

* feat(mounts): connected-gbrains PR 0 foundation — registry + resolver + CLI

Lays the foundation for connected gbrains (v0.19.0) per the approved plan.
This is PR 0 — minimal runtime for direct-transport, path-mounted brains.

What this slice ships:
- src/core/brain-registry.ts — keyed BrainRegistry with lazy engine init,
  schema-validated mounts.json loader, DuplicateMountPathError (load-bearing
  identity check per Codex finding #9 correction), UnknownBrainError with
  actionable available-id list. Pure: no AsyncLocalStorage, no singleton
  mutation. ~280 LOC.

- src/core/brain-resolver.ts — 6-tier brain-id resolution mirroring
  v0.18.0's source-resolver.ts so agents learn ONE mental model:
    1. --brain <id>     2. GBRAIN_BRAIN_ID env      3. .gbrain-mount dotfile
    4. longest-path match over registered mounts    5. (reserved v2 default)
    6. 'host' fallback
  Orthogonal to --source: --brain picks which DB, --source picks the repo
  within that DB. Corruption-resistant: mounts.json load failures fall
  through to 'host' instead of breaking every CLI invocation.

- src/commands/mounts.ts — `gbrain mounts add|list|remove` (direct transport
  only). Validates on add (path exists on disk, id regex, no dupes). WARNS
  but does not block on same db_url/db_path across ids (teams may
  legitimately alias a remote brain). Password redaction in list output.
  Atomic write via temp+rename. 0600 perms. PR 1 adds pin/sync/enable;
  PR 2 adds --mcp-url + OAuth.

- src/cli.ts — wires `gbrain mounts` into handleCliOnly (no DB required
  for the config-only subcommands).

- test/brain-registry.test.ts (28 cases): schema validation across every
  malformed-input branch, ALS-free resolution, duplicate id + path detection,
  disabled-mount exclusion, UnknownBrainError context.

- test/brain-resolver.test.ts (22 cases): priority order (explicit > env >
  dotfile > path-prefix > fallback), dotfile walk-up, malformed dotfile
  recovery, longest-prefix match, sibling-path false-positive guard,
  loader-failure defense.

- test/mounts-cli.test.ts (17 cases): parseAddArgs surface, redactUrl,
  atomic write, add/list/remove roundtrip via temp HOME.

67 new tests, all green. Typecheck clean. Depends on mcp-key-mgmt (base
branch) for the OAuth/scope annotations that PR 2 will leverage.

Next in this branch: PR 0 still needs (a) the deep host-brain-bias audit
(postgres-engine internal singleton fallback + a few operations.ts
callers), (b) OperationContext threading to make ctx.brainId populated at
dispatch, (c) composeResolvers + composeManifests, (d) aggregated
~/.gbrain/mounts-cache/ for host-agent runtime ownership.

* docs(mounts): brains-and-sources mental model + agent routing convention

Two orthogonal axes organize GBrain knowledge. Users AND agents need to
understand both, or queries misroute silently.

  --brain  → WHICH DATABASE    (host + mounts)
  --source → WHICH REPO IN DB  (v0.18.0 sources: wiki, gstack, ...)

Both axes use the same 6-tier resolution (explicit > env > dotfile >
path-prefix > default > fallback), so learning one teaches both.

Ships:

- docs/architecture/brains-and-sources.md — canonical mental model doc.
  Covers four topologies with ASCII diagrams:
    1. Single-person developer (one brain, one source)
    2. Personal brain with multiple repos (one brain, N sources)
    3. Personal + one team brain mount (2 brains)
    4. Senior user with multiple team memberships (N mounted team brains
       alongside personal) — the CEO-class topology
  Explicit "when to move each axis" decision table. Generic example names
  throughout per the project's privacy rule.

- skills/conventions/brain-routing.md — agent-facing decision table.
  Rules for when to switch brain (team-owned question, explicit name,
  data owner changes) vs switch source (working in a repo, topic scoped
  to one repo). Cross-brain federation is latent-space only in v0.19 —
  the agent fans out; the DB never does. Anti-patterns listed: silent
  brain jumps, writing to host when data is team-owned, missing brain
  prefix in citations, ignoring .gbrain-mount dotfiles.

- CLAUDE.md — adds "Two organizational axes (read this first)" section
  at the top pointing at both new docs.

- AGENTS.md — adds brains-and-sources.md + brain-routing.md to the
  "read this order" (positions 3 and 4, before RESOLVER.md).

- skills/RESOLVER.md — adds brain-routing.md to the Conventions section
  so it appears alongside quality.md, brain-first.md, subagent-routing.md.

No code changes. Pre-existing check-resolvable warnings unchanged (2
warnings on base unrelated to this work). 67 PR-0 tests still green.

* feat(mounts): thread brainId through OperationContext + subagent chain

PR 0 plumbing for connected gbrains. Adds an optional brainId field that
identifies which database an operation targets and ensures subagents
inherit the parent job's brain instead of process-wide defaults. No
dispatch-path changes in this commit — that is PR 1 (registry wiring at
MCP + CLI entry points). The fields exist so callers can set them now
and downstream code respects them.

Changes:

- src/core/operations.ts: OperationContext grows `brainId?: string`.
  Optional for back-compat. 'host' is the implicit default when absent.
  Orthogonal to v0.18.0's source_id (source = which repo within the
  brain, brain = which database). See docs/architecture/brains-and-sources.md.

- src/core/minions/types.ts: SubagentHandlerData gains `brain_id?: string`.
  Parent jobs set this when submitting a child subagent to lock the
  child into a specific brain. Omitted = host (unchanged behavior).

- src/core/minions/handlers/subagent.ts: buildBrainTools call site
  reads data.brain_id and passes it through. Child subagents spawned
  from this handler will see the same brainId unless they override in
  their own data.

- src/core/minions/tools/brain-allowlist.ts: BuildBrainToolsOpts +
  OpContextDeps grow brainId; buildOpContext stamps it on every
  OperationContext the subagent builds for tool calls. Addresses Codex
  finding #6 (brain-allowlist hardwired parent config without brain
  awareness, so switching brain only in subagent.ts was not enough).

Tests: 166 affected tests green (subagent suite + minions + brain
registry + resolver). Typecheck clean.

* feat(mounts): composeResolvers + composeManifests + aggregated cache

The runtime ownership seam for connected gbrains (Codex finding #3 from
plan review): check-resolvable.ts VALIDATES RESOLVER.md; it does not
DISPATCH skills. Host agents (Wintermute/OpenClaw/Claude Code) read
skills/RESOLVER.md directly to route user requests. Without an aggregated
resolver, mounted team brains cannot contribute skills to the host
agent's routing table.

This commit adds the aggregation:

- src/core/mounts-cache.ts (NEW): pure composeResolvers + composeManifests
  functions plus filesystem writers for ~/.gbrain/mounts-cache/. The
  aggregated files carry every host skill plus every mount skill,
  namespace-prefixed (e.g. `yc-media::ingest`). Host skills always beat
  a same-named mount skill (locked decision 1); bare-name collisions
  between two mounts surface as structured ambiguity info so doctor can
  warn (PR 1).

  Also addresses Codex finding #8: manifests compose alongside the
  resolver, else doctor conformance breaks on remote skills.

- src/commands/mounts.ts: refreshMountsCache() called on `mounts add`
  and `mounts remove` (the latter clearing the cache entirely when the
  last mount goes away). Uses findRepoRoot() to locate the host skills
  dir; skips with a stderr note when run outside a gbrain repo so the
  user isn't confused by a "cache not refreshed" error in the wrong
  cwd.

- test/mounts-cache.test.ts (NEW): 23 unit tests covering empty world,
  host-only, single mount, two-mount ambiguity, host-shadows-mount,
  disabled mount excluded, missing RESOLVER.md is a no-op, manifest
  composition with same-name collision, render shape, atomic rewrite,
  clear on missing dir.

Output format for ~/.gbrain/mounts-cache/RESOLVER.md adds a Brain column
so host agents can see which brain each trigger routes to at a glance,
plus Shadows and Ambiguous sections when those conditions exist.

Tests: 90 PR 0 tests green (brain-registry + resolver + mounts-cache +
mounts-cli). Full suite regression pending in task 11.

* feat(mounts): force instance-level pool for mount brains + CI guard

Closes the silent-singleton-share bug Codex flagged as finding #1 from
the plan review: two direct-transport mounts with different Postgres
URLs would both fall through postgres-engine.ts's `get sql()` getter to
db.getConnection() and quietly share whichever singleton connected
first. Your yc-media writes end up in garrys-list or vice versa. No
error at the call site — just wrong data.

The fix:

- src/core/brain-registry.ts: initMountBrain now passes poolSize when
  calling engine.connect(). That forces postgres-engine.ts:33-60 down
  the instance-level path (setting this._sql) instead of the module
  singleton path (calling db.connect). Hard-coded 5 for PR 0 — per-mount
  override is PR 1. PGLite ignores poolSize (no pool concept), so this
  is Postgres-specific.

  Host brain still uses the singleton path via initHostBrain (unchanged).
  That is fine for PR 0: the singleton is "the host's one connection"
  by definition. PR 1 removes the singleton entirely once every CLI
  command is engine-injectable.

- scripts/check-no-legacy-getconnection.sh (NEW): CI grep guard against
  new db.getConnection() / db.connect() calls landing in src/core/ or
  src/commands/ (the multi-brain dispatch surface). Has an explicit
  ALLOWED list grandfathering today's legitimate callers, each marked
  "PR 1 refactors" so the list shrinks over time. Skips comment lines
  so the grep doesn't trip on doc references to the old pattern.

- package.json: scripts.test chains the new guard after the existing
  check-jsonb-pattern + check-progress-to-stdout guards. `bun run test`
  now fails the build on singleton regression.

Tests: 295 affected pass (registry, resolver, mounts-cache, mounts-cli,
minions, pglite-engine). Typecheck clean. CI guard reports "ok: no new
singleton callers" on current tree.

Left for PR 1: remove the singleton fallback in postgres-engine.ts's
`get sql()` entirely; refactor src/commands/doctor.ts, files.ts,
repair-jsonb.ts, serve-http.ts, init.ts, and the 3 localOnly ops in
operations.ts (file_list, file_upload, file_url) to accept ctx.engine
explicitly.

* fix(mounts): codex review findings — namespace survives shadow + atomic tmp names + honest PR 0 docstrings

Codex outside-voice review on PR #372 found 5 issues. Real bugs fixed, overclaims
rewritten. Details:

P2 (real bug): composeResolvers and composeManifests were silently dropping
mount entries when a host skill shared the short name, which made the
namespace-qualified form `<mount>::<skill>` unreachable once host defined
the same short name. That defeated the entire namespace-disambiguation
model — if host had `ingest`, no mount could ship an `ingest` skill even
with explicit `yc-media::ingest`. Fix: always keep namespace-qualified
mount entries in the composed output. Shadow tracking moves to metadata
(`shadows[]`) that doctor can warn on, but never drops routing.

  Before:  host ingest + yc-media ingest → only 1 entry (host), yc-media::ingest unreachable
  After:   host ingest + yc-media ingest → 2 entries: bare `ingest` = host, `yc-media::ingest` = mount
  Verified live: gbrain mounts add of a mount with `ingest` now shows
  `team-demo::ingest` alongside host `ingest` in the aggregated manifest.

P1 (real bug): writeMountsFile + writeMountsCache used fixed `.tmp`
filenames. Two concurrent `gbrain mounts add` invocations (e.g. from
parallel terminals or CI) would clobber each other's temp file and
one writer's update would be lost. Fix: tmp filenames include
`process.pid + random suffix` so every writer has its own scratch file.
The atomic rename is self-contained per-writer. (Full lock + read-modify-
write safety deferred to PR 1 under `gbrain mounts sync --lock`.)

P1 (honesty): `SubagentHandlerData.brain_id` +
`BuildBrainToolsOpts.brainId` docstrings claimed child jobs inherit the
parent's brain and brain tools target the resolved brain. True for the
`ctx.brainId` field only — `ctx.engine` is still the worker's base
engine at dispatch time because `buildOpContext` doesn't yet do the
registry lookup, and `gbrain agent run` doesn't yet accept `--brain` to
populate the field on submission. Rewrote both docstrings to state the
PR 0 behavior explicitly (field plumbed, engine routing is PR 1) so
nobody reads the code thinking multi-brain subagents already work.

Also cleaned up two `require('fs')` runtime imports left over from the
initial PR — swapped for ESM named imports (renameSync). Pre-existing
style issue surfaced by the self-review pass.

Tests: 90 PR-0 tests pass. Updated two shadow-related test cases to
assert the corrected semantics (both entries survive, host wins bare
name, namespace form routes to mount).

Not fixed in this commit (documented as known PR 0 limitations):
- `file_list` / `file_upload` / `file_url` in operations.ts still hit the
  singleton (localOnly + admin, never reachable from HTTP MCP — safe in
  practice, refactor in PR 1 alongside command-level cleanups).
- writeMountsCache's two-file swap (RESOLVER.md + manifest.json) is not
  atomic across files; readers can briefly observe mismatched pairs.
  Acceptable because the cache is recomputable at any time from
  mounts.json. Generation-directory swap is PR 1 work.

* fix(tests): bump hook timeouts for 21-migration PGLite init under full-suite load

Root cause of 19 pre-existing full-suite flakes (CHANGELOG v0.18.0 noted
"17 pre-existing master timeouts"): every PGLite test does

  beforeAll/beforeEach(async () => {
    engine = new PGLiteEngine();
    await engine.connect({});
    await engine.initSchema();  // runs 21 migrations through v0.18.2
  });

In isolation this takes ~5s. Under full-suite contention (128 files,
process-shared FS and CPU) it exceeds bun's default 5000ms hook timeout,
beforeEach times out, engine stays undefined, then afterEach crashes
with `TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'engine.disconnect')`.
That single hook failure reports as the whole test "failing" even though
the test body never executed, which is why the failure count sometimes
looked inflated compared to the number of genuinely-broken tests.

Fix applied across 7 test files:

- Raise setup hook timeout to 30_000 (6x the default) — gives migration
  init enough headroom even under worst-case load without masking real
  regressions in a post-migration test.
- Raise teardown hook timeout to 15_000 — engine.disconnect() is usually
  fast but can stall when PGLite's WASM runtime is still completing a
  migration at shutdown.
- Add `if (engine) await engine.disconnect()` guard so afterEach doesn't
  double-fault when beforeEach already failed. This was the source of
  the opaque "(unnamed)" failures — they were disconnect crashes,
  not test-body failures.

Files:
  test/dream.test.ts                (5 beforeEach + 5 afterEach blocks)
  test/orphans.test.ts              (1 pair)
  test/brain-allowlist.test.ts      (1 pair)
  test/oauth.test.ts                (1 pair)
  test/extract-db.test.ts           (1 pair)
  test/multi-source-integration.test.ts (1 pair)
  test/core/cycle.test.ts           (1 pair)

Results on the merged PR 0 branch:
  Before: 2175 pass / 20 fail / 3 errors
  After:  2281 pass /  0 fail / 0 errors    (+106 tests running that
                                             were previously blocked
                                             by the timed-out hooks)

No changes to production code. No test assertions changed. Just
timeout-bump + null-guard discipline that should have been in these
hooks from the start. The real longer-term fix is reusing an engine
across tests where possible (brain-allowlist.test.ts already does this
via beforeAll+DELETE-pages pattern), but that's per-file structural
work — out of scope for this cleanup.

* chore: regenerate llms-full.txt for brains-and-sources + brain-routing docs

The test/build-llms.test.ts test validates that the committed llms.txt
and llms-full.txt match the current generator output. PR 0 added
docs/architecture/brains-and-sources.md content paths and updated
CLAUDE.md + skills/RESOLVER.md in earlier commits, but the generated
bundle file wasn't regenerated alongside. This caused one of the 20
fails we chased down today — a straight content mismatch, not a runtime
bug. Running `bun run build:llms` picks up the new section content so
the bundle matches the sources again.

No functional change. Only the compiled doc bundle.

* Bump version 1.0.0.0 → 0.22.0

OAuth + admin dashboard is meaningful but doesn't quite warrant the
major-version reset to 1.0. Renumber as v0.22.0, slotting cleanly above
master's v0.21.0 (Cathedral II).

Touched:
- VERSION, package.json: 1.0.0.0 → 0.22.0
- CHANGELOG.md: heading + "BEFORE/AFTER v1.0" table + "To take advantage"
  + "pre-v1.0" all renamed. Narrative voice unchanged otherwise.
- TODOS.md: ChatGPT MCP completion stamp updated to v0.22.0 (2026-04-25).
- CLAUDE.md, README.md, docs/mcp/{DEPLOY,CHATGPT}.md, src/schema.sql,
  src/core/schema-embedded.ts: every reader-facing v1.0.0 reference
  rewritten to v0.22.0 / pre-v0.22 in the same place.
- llms-full.txt: regenerated to match.

Slug-test occurrences of "v1.0.0" (`test/slug-validation.test.ts`,
`test/file-upload-security.test.ts`) and the `HOMEBREW_FOR_PERSONAL_AI`
roadmap reference to a future v1.0 vision left intact — those are
unrelated to this branch's release version.

Typecheck clean. cli + oauth + slug + file-upload tests pass (106 tests).

* v0.26.0 fix: 4 security findings from /cso pass + version bump

Bumped 0.22.0 → 0.26.0 to slot above master's v0.21 chain with headroom
for v0.23/0.24/0.25 to ship from master between now and merge.

Security fixes (all from CSO finding writeups):

#1 cookie-parser middleware — admin dashboard auth was silently broken.
   Express 5 has no built-in cookie parsing; req.cookies was always
   undefined, so /admin/login set the cookie but every subsequent admin
   API call returned 401. Added cookie-parser@^1.4.7 + @types/cookie-parser
   as direct + dev deps. app.use(cookieParser()) wired before CORS.

#2 + #3 TOCTOU races — exchangeAuthorizationCode and exchangeRefreshToken
   used SELECT-then-DELETE, letting concurrent requests with the same
   code/refresh both pass the SELECT before either ran DELETE, both
   issuing token pairs. Switched to atomic DELETE...RETURNING. RFC 6749
   §10.5 (codes) + §10.4 (refresh detection) violations closed. Added
   regression tests that fire 10 concurrent exchanges and assert exactly
   one wins — both pass.

#5 pgArray escape + DCR redirect_uri validation — pgArray() did
   `arr.join(',')` with no escaping, so an element containing a comma
   would be parsed by Postgres as TWO array elements. With --enable-dcr
   on, this could smuggle a second redirect_uri into a registered client
   and steal auth codes. Now every element is double-quoted with `"` and
   `\` escaped. Added validateRedirectUri() per RFC 6749 §3.1.2.1:
   redirect_uris must be https:// or loopback (localhost / 127.0.0.1).
   Wired into the DCR registerClient path; CLI registration trusts the
   operator and bypasses. Regression test confirms a comma-in-URI element
   round-trips as 1 element, not 2.

#6 --public-url flag — issuerUrl was hardcoded to http://localhost:{port}.
   Behind reverse proxies / ngrok / production deploys, the issuer claim
   in tokens wouldn't match the discovery URL clients hit (RFC 8414 §3.3).
   New --public-url URL flag on `gbrain serve --http`, propagates through
   serve.ts → serve-http.ts → ServeHttpOptions.publicUrl → issuerUrl.
   Startup banner surfaces the configured issuer.

Findings #4 (admin requests filter dead code), #7 (admin register-client
hardcoded grant_types), #8 (legacy token grandfathering posture) are
documentation / minor functional fixes and are deferred per user direction.

Tests: oauth.test.ts now 34 cases (was 27). 7 new:
- single-use TOCTOU regression (10 concurrent code exchanges)
- single-use TOCTOU regression (10 concurrent refresh exchanges)
- redirect_uri http://localhost passes
- redirect_uri https://example.com passes
- redirect_uri http://example.com (non-loopback plaintext) rejected
- redirect_uri non-URL rejected
- redirect_uri with embedded comma stored as single element

Files:
- VERSION, package.json: 0.22.0 → 0.26.0
- CHANGELOG.md: heading + table + "To take advantage" + "pre-v0.22" → v0.26;
  new "Security hardening (post-/cso pass)" subsection at top of itemized
  changes; CLI flag list updated for --public-url.
- src/core/oauth-provider.ts: pgArray escape, validateRedirectUri,
  registerClient enforces validation, DELETE...RETURNING in
  exchangeAuthorizationCode + exchangeRefreshToken.
- src/commands/serve-http.ts: cookie-parser import + wire-up,
  publicUrl option, issuerUrl honors it, startup banner shows issuer.
- src/commands/serve.ts: parses --public-url and threads through.
- src/cli.ts: help text adds --public-url URL flag.
- test/oauth.test.ts: +7 regression tests (now 34 total).
- llms-full.txt: regenerated.

Typecheck clean. 34 oauth + 14 cli tests pass.

ce15062694 feat: GBrain v0.7.0 — Integration Recipes + SKILLPACK Breakout (#39)
* docs: break SKILLPACK into 17 individual guides

The 1,281-line SKILLPACK monolith is now 17 individually linkable guides
in docs/guides/, organized by category: core patterns, data pipelines,
operations, search, and administration.

GBRAIN_SKILLPACK.md becomes a structured index with categorized tables
linking to each guide. The URL stays stable for backward compatibility.

* docs: add integration guides, architecture docs, and ethos

New documentation directories:
- docs/integrations/ — "Getting Data In" landing page, credential gateway,
  meeting webhooks. Includes recipe format documentation.
- docs/architecture/ — Infrastructure layer doc (import, chunk, embed, search)
- docs/ethos/ — "Thin Harness, Fat Skills" essay with agent decision guide
- docs/designs/ — "Homebrew for Personal AI" 10-star vision document

* feat: add gbrain integrations command + voice-to-brain recipe

New CLI command: gbrain integrations (list/show/status/doctor/stats/test)
- Standalone command, no database connection needed
- Uses gray-matter directly for recipe parsing (not parseMarkdown)
- --json flag on every subcommand for agent-parseable output
- Bare command shows senses/reflexes dashboard
- Health heartbeat via ~/.gbrain/integrations/<id>/heartbeat.jsonl

First recipe: recipes/twilio-voice-brain.md
- Phone calls create brain pages via Twilio + OpenAI Realtime
- Opinionated defaults: caller screening, brain-first lookup, quiet hours
- Outbound call smoke test (GBrain calls the user to prove it works)
- Validate-as-you-go credential testing
- Twilio signature validation for webhook security

Migration file for v0.7.0 with agent-readable changelog.
13 unit tests covering parseRecipe, CLI routing, and recipe validation.

* docs: rewrite voice recipe with agent instructions and verified links

Major improvements to recipes/twilio-voice-brain.md:

- Agent preamble: explains WHY sequential execution matters (each step
  depends on the previous), defines 4 stop points where the agent MUST
  pause and verify, tells agent to never say "something went wrong"
  but instead explain the exact error and fix

- User actions are now specific: exact URLs for every credential
  (Twilio console, OpenAI API keys page, ngrok dashboard), what
  buttons to click, what fields to copy, common failure modes

- All URLs verified via web search against current 2026 documentation:
  Twilio SID/token at twilio.com/console, OpenAI keys at
  platform.openai.com/api-keys, ngrok token at
  dashboard.ngrok.com/get-started/your-authtoken

- Cost estimate corrected: OpenAI Realtime is $0.06/min input +
  $0.24/min output (was understated), total ~$20-22/mo for 100 min

- Validate-as-you-go: each credential tested immediately with exact
  curl commands, failure messages explain what went wrong and how to fix

- Smoke test flow: tells user exactly what to say, verifies ALL
  three outputs (messaging notification + brain page + search result)

* docs: add "Homebrew for Personal AI" essay (markdown is code)

New essay at docs/ethos/MARKDOWN_SKILLS_AS_RECIPES.md — the distribution
corollary to "Thin Harness, Fat Skills." Argues that markdown skill files
are simultaneously documentation, specification, package, and source code.
The agent is the package manager. The git repo is the app store.

Referenced from SKILLPACK index and CLAUDE.md.

* docs: rewrite agent instructions as command language, promote skills

The OpenClaw/Hermes install block is now a drill sergeant, not a tour guide.
Every step is an imperative command with exact verification criteria and
explicit stop-on-failure behavior. No FYI, no suggestions, just rails.

Key changes:
- 11-step setup with STOP points after each step
- Exact user instructions for Supabase connection string (what to click,
  what NOT to give the agent, what the string looks like)
- "Verify: run X. You must see Y. If not: Z" after every step
- Skills table now links to both skill files AND guide docs
- Integration recipes table simplified (no "coming soon" placeholders)
- Docs section reorganized: for agents / for humans / reference

* fix: 4 codex findings + add email-to-brain recipe

Codex review found 4 issues, all fixed:

1. getStatus() returned "configured" if ANY secret was set (e.g. just
   OPENAI_API_KEY). Now requires ALL required secrets before marking
   configured. Prevents false "configured" status and spurious doctor runs.

2. Twilio health check hit unauthenticated endpoint (always 401). Now
   uses authenticated curl with SID:token, matching the setup validation.

3. README anchor docs/GBRAIN_SKILLPACK.md#the-dream-cycle broken after
   SKILLPACK rewrite. Updated to point to docs/guides/cron-schedule.md.

4. Compiled binary can't find recipes/ via import.meta.dir. Added
   GBRAIN_RECIPES_DIR env var override + global bun install path fallback.

Also adds recipes/email-to-brain.md: Gmail deterministic collector pattern
with ClawVisor credential gateway, validate-as-you-go, agent instructions.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add email, X, calendar, and meeting sync recipes

Four new integration recipes extracted from production wintermute patterns:

- recipes/email-to-brain.md: Gmail via ClawVisor, deterministic collector
  pattern (code pulls emails with baked-in links, agent does judgment),
  noise filtering, signature detection, digest generation

- recipes/x-to-brain.md: X API v2, timeline + mentions + keyword search,
  deletion detection (diffs previous run, verifies 404), engagement
  velocity tracking, rate limit awareness

- recipes/calendar-to-brain.md: Google Calendar via ClawVisor, historical
  backfill (years of data), daily markdown files with attendees + locations,
  attendee enrichment for brain pages

- recipes/meeting-sync.md: Circleback API, transcript import with speaker
  labels, attendee detection + filtering, entity propagation to people/
  company pages, action item extraction, idempotent by source_id

All recipes follow the same format: agent preamble with sequential execution
rules, validate-as-you-go credentials, exact URLs for API key setup,
stop-on-failure verification, and heartbeat logging.

Updated README, SKILLPACK index, and integrations landing page with all 5 recipes.

* docs: add Google OAuth as alternative to ClawVisor in email + calendar recipes

Both recipes now offer two auth options:
- Option A: ClawVisor (recommended, handles OAuth + token refresh)
- Option B: Google OAuth2 directly (no extra service, you manage tokens)

Option B includes step-by-step instructions for Google Cloud Console:
exact URLs, which buttons to click, which scopes to add, how to enable
the API, and the OAuth flow for token exchange.

This removes ClawVisor as a hard dependency for getting started.

* docs: add implementation guides with pseudocode and test suggestions

Every recipe now includes an "Implementation Guide" section with:

- Production-tested pseudocode the agent can follow to build each collector
- Edge cases and failure modes discovered in real deployment
- Non-obvious implementation details (why the 48h staleness heuristic,
  why Gmail links need authuser, why SSE responses need double-parsing)
- Test suggestions: what the agent should verify after setup

email-to-brain: noise filtering algorithm, signature detection patterns,
  Gmail link generation (authuser is critical), sent-mail dedup

x-to-brain: deletion detection with 3 heuristics (7-day, 48h staleness,
  API verification), engagement velocity thresholds (50 min for 2x, 100
  absolute jump), atomic writes, stdout contract, rate limit handling

calendar-to-brain: smart chunking (monthly for sparse years, weekly for
  dense), attendee filtering (rooms, groups, distros), merge-with-existing
  (only replace ## Calendar section), date/time parsing edge cases

meeting-sync: SSE double-JSON parsing, idempotency double-check (grep +
  filename), auto-tagging from meeting names, git commit after sync

* docs: 6 new guides from production patterns (wintermute extraction)

New guides extracted and generalized from production deployment:

- repo-architecture.md: Two-repo pattern (agent behavior vs world knowledge).
  Strict boundary rules, decision tree, hard rule: never write knowledge
  to the agent repo.

- sub-agent-routing.md: Model routing table by task type. Signal detector
  pattern (spawn Sonnet on every message). Research pipeline pattern
  (Opus plans, DeepSeek executes, Opus synthesizes). Cost optimization.

- skill-development.md: 5-step cycle (concept, prototype, evaluate, codify,
  cron). MECE discipline (no overlapping skills). Quality bar checklist.
  "If you ask twice, it should already be a skill."

- idea-capture.md: Originality distribution rating (0-100 across 4
  populations). Depth test ("could someone unfamiliar understand WHY?").
  Deep cross-linking mandate. Notability filtering.

- quiet-hours.md: Hold notifications 11pm-8am local time. Held messages
  directory pattern. Timezone-aware delivery. Morning briefing pickup.

- diligence-ingestion.md: 9-step pipeline for data room materials. Detection
  patterns (PDF filenames, spreadsheet tabs, user language). Index.md
  template with bull/bear case. Company page enrichment.

All PII scrubbed. Patterns generalized for any user.
SKILLPACK index updated with 6 new entries. CLAUDE.md references added.
All 37 SKILLPACK links verified.

* docs: upgrade all guides to operational playbooks with pseudocode

Every guide now follows the playbook structure:
- Goal: one sentence, what this achieves
- What the User Gets: without this / with this
- Implementation: pseudocode with actual gbrain commands
- Tricky Spots: production-tested gotchas
- How to Verify: test steps the agent runs after setup

Guides upgraded (15 files):
- brain-agent-loop: on_message() loop with read/write/sync pseudocode
- brain-first-lookup: 4-step lookup cascade with exact commands
- brain-vs-memory: routing algorithm for 3 knowledge layers
- compiled-truth: page structure + rewrite vs append rules
- content-media: 3 ingest patterns (YouTube, social, PDFs)
- cron-schedule: full schedule table + dream cycle pseudocode
- enrichment-pipeline: 7-step protocol with tier classification
- entity-detection: spawn pattern + detection prompt + notability filter
- executive-assistant: 3 workflow algorithms (triage, prep, post-inbox)
- meeting-ingestion: 6-step transcript-to-brain flow
- operational-disciplines: 5 executable discipline blocks
- originals-folder: detection + exact-phrasing capture + cross-linking
- search-modes: decision tree for keyword vs hybrid vs direct
- source-attribution: citation format + hierarchy + conflict resolution
- Plus Goal/What User Gets headers on 6 newer guides

* docs: add WebRTC to voice recipe + ngrok Hobby setup guide

Voice recipe updates:
- Added WebRTC endpoint (POST /session, GET /call, POST /tool) for
  browser-based calling with RNNoise noise suppression
- WebRTC pseudocode with the 4 non-obvious gotchas from production
  (voice under audio.output.voice, no turn_detection, no session.update
  on connect, trigger greeting via data channel)
- Recommend ngrok Hobby ($8/mo) for fixed domain instead of free tier
- Fixed domain means URLs never change, Twilio never breaks

New guide: docs/mcp/NGROK_SETUP.md
- How to set up ngrok Hobby for both MCP and voice agent
- Fixed domain setup, watchdog pattern, AI client configuration
- Claude Desktop requires Settings > Integrations (not JSON config)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add dependency graph + ngrok-tunnel + credential-gateway recipes

Recipes now have real dependencies via the `requires` field:
- voice-to-brain requires ngrok-tunnel (needs public URL for Twilio)
- email-to-brain requires credential-gateway (needs Gmail access)
- calendar-to-brain requires credential-gateway (needs Calendar access)
- x-to-brain and meeting-sync are standalone (direct API keys)

Two new infrastructure recipes:
- ngrok-tunnel: fixed public URL for MCP + voice. Recommends Hobby
  ($8/mo) for a domain that never changes. Includes watchdog pattern.
- credential-gateway: secure Google service access via ClawVisor
  (recommended) or direct OAuth2. One setup, all Google recipes use it.

Moved ngrok from docs/mcp/ to recipes/ — it's shared infrastructure,
not MCP-specific.

README and integrations landing page show dependency chains.
When agent installs voice-to-brain, it sets up ngrok-tunnel first.

* fix: add infra category, fix dashboard alignment, show dependencies

DX audit found two bugs in gbrain integrations dashboard:

1. Column alignment broken — IDs > 18 chars ran into descriptions
   with no space. Fixed: pad to 22 chars.

2. ngrok-tunnel and credential-gateway showed as SENSES but they're
   infrastructure. Added 'infra' category. Dashboard now shows three
   sections: INFRASTRUCTURE (set up first), SENSES, REFLEXES.

3. Dependencies now shown inline: "AVAILABLE (needs credential-gateway)"

Also added 'requires' field to JSON output for agent consumption.

* docs: add frontier model requirement disclaimer to README

GBrain's markdown-is-code approach requires models capable of
interpreting intent and implementing from architecture descriptions.
Tested with Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 Thinking. Smaller models
will struggle with the recipe format.

* docs: add PGLite → Supabase upgrade path to README

Clarify the database progression: start with PGLite (Postgres as WASM,
zero infrastructure, pgvector built in, nothing to install). Graduate
to Supabase or self-hosted Postgres when you need connection pooling,
concurrency, and remote MCP access from Claude Desktop, Cowork,
ChatGPT, Perplexity Computer, or any MCP-compatible agent.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: revert PGLite mention (coming in next branch)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: make all 23 guides consistent (Goal/Impl/Tricky/Verify)

Every guide now has exactly these sections in this order:
- ## Goal (one sentence)
- ## What the User Gets (without this / with this)
- ## Implementation (pseudocode with gbrain commands)
- ## Tricky Spots (3-5 numbered gotchas)
- ## How to Verify (3-5 numbered test steps)

11 guides restructured from non-standard headings:
- deterministic-collectors, live-sync, upgrades-auto-update (full rewrites)
- entity-detection, diligence-ingestion, idea-capture, quiet-hours,
  repo-architecture, skill-development, sub-agent-routing (restructured)

23/23 guides now pass consistency audit.

* docs: restructure README around the #1 blocker (getting data in)

The README was leading with Postgres and database architecture. Most
users are stuck at step zero: "I have an agent but it doesn't know
anything about my life."

New structure:
1. The Problem — your agent doesn't know your life
2. Getting Data In — integration recipes, front and center
3. The Compounding Thesis — why this matters
4. How this happened — credibility, origin story
5. When you need Postgres — scale, not starting point

Postgres is de-emphasized from a full section to two paragraphs:
"You don't need Postgres to start" and "When you need Postgres"
(1,000+ files, remote MCP access, multiple AI clients).

* docs: move Install to top of README, remove duplicate section

Install now appears right after Getting Data In (line 38), not buried
at line 295. The user sees: Problem → Getting Data In → Install.

Removed the duplicate Install section (262 lines) that was lower in
the README. The agent instructions block, CLI quickstart, and all
content is now in the single Install section near the top.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: move agent install block to first thing in README

"Start here: paste this into your agent" is now the first section,
right after the one-line pitch. No scrolling, no context, no preamble.
User opens the README, sees the paste block, copies it into OpenClaw
or Hermes, and the agent takes over.

Flow: pitch → paste block → Getting Data In → Compounding Thesis → origin story

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: compress install block from 11 steps to 5

The agent install block was 102 lines and 11 steps. Now it's 40 lines
and 5 steps. Same coverage, half the text.

Changes:
- Merged "prove keyword search" + "embed" + "prove hybrid search"
  into one SEARCH step (the user doesn't care about the intermediate)
- Merged skillpack, sync, auto-update, integrations, verification
  into one GO LIVE step with sub-items (post-install polish, not install)
- Shortened database instructions (one line instead of 5 sub-steps)
- Removed redundant preamble ("YOU MUST COMPLETE EVERY STEP" is now
  just "Do not skip steps. Verify each step.")

The 5 steps: INSTALL → DATABASE → IMPORT → SEARCH → GO LIVE

* security: gitignore all .env files, not just specific ones

CSO audit found .gitignore covered .env.testing and .env.production
but not bare .env. A user creating .env with database credentials
could accidentally commit it.

Fix: .env and .env.* are now gitignored. .env.*.example files are
explicitly un-ignored so templates remain tracked.

* security: scrub PII from essay and recipe examples

- 510-MY-GARRY phone mnemonic → "Your Phone Number"
- "Garry → Authenticated Mode" → "Owner → Authenticated Mode"
- "Telegram" → "secure channel" in auth example
- @garrytan → @yourhandle in X recipe example
