ops: systemd units for auditor + context7 bridge

Promotes two previously manual-start Bun services to systemd
so they survive restarts + run continuously.

- ops/systemd/lakehouse-auditor.service — polls Gitea every 90s,
  runs 4 audit checks per PR head SHA, posts commit status + review
  comment. Runs as root to match existing lakehouse-* service
  conventions on this host; can read /home/profit/.git-credentials
  (0600 profit:profit).
- ops/systemd/lakehouse-context7-bridge.service — HTTP wrapper on
  :3900 for Phase 45 doc-drift detection. Decoupled from gateway;
  runs independently.
- ops/systemd/install.sh — idempotent installer (copy → daemon-reload
  → enable --now). Prints post-install active/enabled status.
- ops/systemd/README.md — run/stop/logs/pause docs.

Pause control stays per-service (bot.paused / auditor.paused files
at repo root). Not wired to branch protection yet — the auditor's
commit status is currently advisory, not enforcing. Flip via Gitea
branch_protections API when confident.

+# Lakehouse Claim Auditor
+
+A Bun sub-agent that watches open PRs on Gitea, reads the ship-claims
+in commit messages and PR bodies, and **hard-blocks** merges when the
+code doesn't back the claim.
+
+Rationale: when "compiles + one curl works" gets called "phase shipped,"
+placeholder code accumulates. This auditor runs every 90s, fetches
+each open PR, and subjects it to four checks:
+
+1. **Static diff** — grep/parse looking for placeholder patterns
+2. **Dynamic** — runs the never-before-executed hybrid test fixture
+3. **Cloud inference** — asks `gpt-oss:120b` via `/v1/chat` to
+   identify gaps in the diff
+4. **KB query** — looks up `data/_kb/` + observer for prior failure
+   patterns on similar claims
+
+Verdict is assembled, posted to Gitea as:
+- A **failing commit status** (hard block — branch protection
+  prevents merge)
+- A **review comment** explaining every finding
+
+## Run manually
+
+```bash
+cd /home/profit/lakehouse
+bun run auditor/index.ts
+```
+
+Defaults: polls every 90s, stops on `auditor.paused` file present.
+
+## State
+
+- `data/_auditor/state.json` — last-audited head SHA per PR
+- `data/_auditor/verdicts/{pr}-{sha}.json` — per-run verdict record
+
+## Where YOU edit
+
+`auditor/policy.ts` — the verdict assembler. Controls which findings
+block vs warn vs inform. All other code is mechanical: fetching,
+running checks, posting to Gitea.
+
+## Hard-block mechanism
+
+1. Commit status is posted as `failure` with context `lakehouse/auditor`
+2. If `main` branch protection requires `lakehouse/auditor` status
+   to pass, Gitea prevents merge
+3. When code is fixed and re-audit passes, status flips to `success`,
+   merge unblocks
+
+Enable branch protection (one-time, via Gitea UI or API):
+- `POST /repos/profit/lakehouse/branch_protections`
+- `{"branch_name": "main", "required_status_checks": {"contexts": ["lakehouse/auditor"]}}`

+# Lakehouse PR-Bot
+
+A local sub-agent that reads the PRD, asks a cloud model for a small change
+proposal, applies it, runs tests, and opens a draft PR on Gitea. Manual-only
+right now — no systemd, no cron. Run one cycle at a time and watch.
+
+## Run one cycle
+
+```bash
+cd /home/profit/lakehouse
+bun run bot/cycle.ts
+```
+
+Prerequisites:
+- Working tree must be clean (`git status` shows nothing). The bot refuses on a dirty tree so its changes don't mix with in-flight work.
+- Sidecar running on :3200, gateway on :3100, observer on :3800.
+- At least one PRD line tagged `[bot-eligible]` (see below).
+- Gitea PAT configured in `~/.git-credentials` (already set up).
+
+## Tag a gap as bot-eligible
+
+Add `[bot-eligible]` to any PRD line the bot is allowed to work on:
+
+```md
+- [ ] Add a unit test for parse_city_state covering "South Bend, IN" edge case [bot-eligible]
+```
+
+The bot scans `docs/PRD.md` for these tags. Each tagged line becomes a candidate.
+Start small — one tag at a time — until you trust the loop.
+
+## Stop it mid-cycle
+
+Create the pause file:
+
+```bash
+touch /home/profit/lakehouse/bot.paused
+```
+
+The next `bot/cycle.ts` invocation exits immediately with `skipped_pause`.
+(It does NOT kill a cycle already in-flight — use `Ctrl-C` or `pkill -f bot/cycle.ts` for that.)
+
+## Budget
+
+- **20 cloud calls/day, 160k tokens/day** (hard ceiling, see `bot/cost.ts`).
+- Tracked in `data/_bot/cost-YYYY-MM-DD.json`.
+- Resets at UTC midnight.
+
+## Cycle outcomes
+
+Every run writes a result to `data/_bot/cycles/{cycle_id}.json` and POSTs an event to the observer on :3800.
+Possible outcomes:
+
+| Outcome | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `ok` | PR opened |
+| `cycle_noop` | proposal applied, every file was **identical to current content** (Mem0 NOOP); no test run, no PR |
+| `skipped_pause` | pause file present |
+| `skipped_cost` | daily budget exhausted |
+| `skipped_policy` | `policy.shouldRunCycle` said no |
+| `skipped_dirty_tree` | uncommitted changes present |
+| `skipped_no_gap` | no `[bot-eligible]` tags in PRD |
+| `model_failed` | sidecar/cloud model errored or returned unparseable JSON |
+| `proposal_rejected` | `policy.scoreProposal` rejected it (size, path, etc.) |
+| `apply_failed` | file write errored |
+| `tests_failed` | cargo or bun test red |
+| `pr_skipped_by_policy` | green tests, but `policy.shouldOpenPR` said no |
+| `pr_failed` | Gitea API or git push errored |
+
+## Mem0-aligned apply semantics
+
+`apply.ts` categorizes every proposed file into one of three modes:
+
+| Mode | Trigger | Action |
+|---|---|---|
+| **ADD** | `is_new: true` and file doesn't exist | Create the file |
+| **UPDATE** | `is_new: false`, file exists, content **differs** from current | Overwrite |
+| **NOOP** | `is_new: false`, file exists, content **matches** current exactly | Skip (no write, no diff) |
+
+If every file in the proposal is NOOP, the cycle short-circuits to `cycle_noop` **before** running tests or opening a PR. Mismatched shapes (`is_new:true` but file exists, or `is_new:false` but file missing) become `apply_failed` — model state confusion is surfaced, not papered over.
+
+PR bodies report the three counts separately so reviewers see what actually changed vs. what was confirmed identical.
+
+## How the bot compounds over cycles
+
+Every finished cycle persists a `CycleResult` to `data/_bot/cycles/{cycle_id}.json`. At the **start** of the next cycle, `bot/kb.ts::loadHistory(gap_id)` scans that directory, filters to prior cycles on the same gap, and returns the five most recent outcomes (`ok`, `tests_failed`, `proposal_rejected`, `cycle_noop`, etc.) with their reasons and touched files.
+
+Those outcomes are summarized into a compact block and **injected into the cloud prompt** before asking for a new proposal. The model sees things like:
+
+```
+Prior attempts on this gap (3 most recent):
+- 2026-04-22 03:15 UTC — tests_failed
+    reason: cargo test -p vectord::lance failed on field_type_coerce
+- 2026-04-22 02:48 UTC — proposal_rejected
+    reason: touched forbidden path (docs/ADR-): docs/ADR-019-update.md
+- 2026-04-22 01:23 UTC — ok PR: https://git.agentview.dev/profit/lakehouse/pulls/142
+    reason: PR #142 opened
+
+Learn from these: build on what worked, avoid paths that failed.
+```
+
+This is the same compounding pattern `scenario.ts` uses via `kb.loadRecommendation` — the bot's cycles are the bot's memory. No embedding, no separate jsonl, no cross-run orchestration required. First cycle on a new gap skips the block cleanly.
+
+The observer events POSTed on every cycle carry the same data, so `GET :3800/stats?source=bot` aggregates "% of bot cycles on similar gaps that landed a PR" without extra plumbing.
+
+## Where YOU edit
+
+`bot/policy.ts` — four small functions that define what the bot does. The rest
+(`propose.ts`, `apply.ts`, `test.ts`, `pr.ts`, `cycle.ts`, `kb.ts`) is mechanical
+orchestration — you shouldn't need to touch it unless a pipeline changes.
+
+One policy upgrade the history opens up: in `shouldRunCycle`, you can now bail
+out if the same gap has failed N times in a row. Example addition:
+
+```ts
+import { loadHistory, statsFor } from "./kb.ts";
+// inside shouldRunCycle — but you'd need the gap, which is picked later.
+// A more natural place is scoreProposal: if prior N failures on this
+// gap's path+summary pattern, reject before testing.
+```
+
+## Hard-coded guardrails (not in policy — can't be disabled)
+
+- Bot **never deletes files** (`apply.ts` has no delete path).
+- Bot **never touches** `.git/`, `secrets`, `lakehouse.toml`, `docs/ADR-*`, `docs/DECISIONS.md`, `docs/PRD.md`, `/etc/`, `/root/`, `Cargo.lock`.
+- All paths validated for traversal (`path/../`) and repo-escape.
+- PRs always open as **draft** — never auto-merge.
+- Budget check is before the policy function runs — no way to override the daily cap from `policy.ts`.

+//! Phase 40 (early deliverable) — Langfuse tracing from the Rust gateway.
+//!
+//! Langfuse is already running at `http://localhost:3001` with the
+//! staffing project — `mcp-server/tracing.ts` has been emitting traces
+//! for months. This file bridges the gap: every `/v1/chat` call now
+//! appears in the same Langfuse project, alongside traces from the
+//! Bun side.
+//!
+//! Design:
+//! - Fire-and-forget — emit spawns a tokio task. Response to client
+//!   never waits on Langfuse, never fails because of it. If Langfuse
+//!   is down or slow, we silently drop traces (and `tracing::warn!`).
+//! - Two events per call — `trace-create` + `generation-create`. The
+//!   generation nests under the trace so Langfuse UI shows the whole
+//!   thing as one clickable row.
+//! - No SDK — plain HTTP POST to `/api/public/ingestion` with Basic
+//!   auth. Keeps the Rust dependency graph small.

+# PRD — Universal AI Control Plane
+
+**Status:** Long-horizon architecture target as of 2026-04-22. Lakehouse Phases 0-37 (`docs/PRD.md`) are preserved as the reference implementation and first domain-specific consumer. Phases 38+ (control-plane layers) are sequenced below.
+
+**Current domain: staffing.** The immediate proving ground is the staffing substrate already built — synthetic workers_500k, contracts, emails, SMS drafts, playbook memory. Everything Phase 38-44 ships is validated first against that domain. The DevOps / Terraform / Ansible framing from the original PRD draft stays as a **long-horizon target** — architecture-compatible but not in current scope. See §Long-horizon domains at the bottom.
+
+**Owner:** J
+
+**Cross-read:** `docs/PRD.md` for what's shipped (staffing + AI substrate, 13 crates, ~3M rows). This doc for the layered architecture those pieces now fit into.
+
+---
+
+## Phase Sequencing (Phases 38-44)
+
+Ship each phase before starting the next. Each ends with green tests + docs update.
+
+| Phase | Layer | What ships | Est. LOC | Risk |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 38 | Layer 1 skeleton | `/v1/chat`, `/v1/usage`, `/v1/sessions` routes forwarding to existing `aibridge` → Ollama. Bot migrates as first consumer. | ~400 | Low — additive, no existing routes touched |
+| 39 | Layer 3 adapters | `aibridge::ProviderAdapter` trait; Ollama + one new (OpenRouter). `/v1/chat` routes by config. | ~500 | Low-medium |
+| 40 | Layer 2 engine | Rules-based routing (`config/routing.toml`), fallback chains, cost gating. Add Gemini + Claude adapters. | ~600 | Medium |
+| 41 | Profile split | Separate Retrieval / Memory / Execution / Observer profiles; Phase 17 backward-compat. Absorbs Phase 37 hot-swap-async. | ~300 | Medium |
+| 42 | Truth Layer | New `crates/truth`; Terraform/Ansible schemas; `/v1/context` serves rules to router + observer. | ~700 | Medium |
+| 43 | Validation pipeline | Syntax/lint/dry-run/policy gates per output type. Plugs into Layer 5 execution loop. | ~400 | Medium |
+| 44 | Caller migration | All internal callers route through `/v1/chat`. Direct sidecar access deprecated. | ~200 | Low |
+
+**Total ≈3100 LOC.** Phase 37 (hot-swap async) folds into Phase 41 — it's an Execution-Profile activation concern.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 38 — Universal API Skeleton
+
+**Goal:** OpenAI-compatible `/v1/*` surface exists and forwards to existing aibridge → Ollama. Nothing about multi-provider yet — just the SHAPE, so every downstream piece (adapters, routing, usage accounting) has a surface to plug into.
+
+**Ships:**
+- `crates/gateway/src/v1/mod.rs` — router + `/v1/chat`, `/v1/usage`, `/v1/sessions`
+- `crates/gateway/src/v1/ollama.rs` — shape adapter (OpenAI chat ↔ existing aibridge `GenerateRequest`)
+- One-line `nest("/v1", ...)` in `crates/gateway/src/main.rs`
+- Unit test: `POST /v1/chat` roundtrips through mocked provider
+
+**Gate:**
+- `curl -X POST localhost:3100/v1/chat -d '{"model":"qwen3.5:latest","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hi"}]}'` returns valid OpenAI-shape response.
+- `GET localhost:3100/v1/usage` returns `{requests, prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens}`.
+- `GET localhost:3100/v1/sessions` returns `{data:[]}` (stub; real impl Phase 41).
+- `cargo test -p gateway` green.
+
+**Non-goals (explicit):** streaming, tool calls, function calling, session state, multi-provider, fallback, cost gating.
+
+**Risk:** Low — additive, doesn't touch existing routes. Worst case: `/v1/*` returns 502 and we fix the adapter. No existing caller affected.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 39 — Provider Adapter Refactor
+
+**Goal:** `aibridge` grows a `ProviderAdapter` trait. Ollama implementation wraps existing sidecar code. One new provider lands as proof: **OpenRouter** (simplest — it's OpenAI-compatible, so adapter is mostly passthrough).
+
+**Ships:**
+- `crates/aibridge/src/provider.rs` — `ProviderAdapter` trait with `chat()` + `embed()` + `unload()` methods
+- `crates/aibridge/src/providers/ollama.rs` — existing sidecar code moved behind the trait
+- `crates/aibridge/src/providers/openrouter.rs` — new, HTTP client to `openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions`
+- `config/providers.toml` — provider registry (name, base_url, auth, default_models)
+- `/v1/chat` routes by `model` field: prefix match (e.g. `openrouter/anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet` → OpenRouter; bare names → Ollama)
+
+**Gate:**
+- `/v1/chat` with `model: "qwen3.5:latest"` hits Ollama → green
+- `/v1/chat` with `model: "openrouter/openai/gpt-4o-mini"` hits OpenRouter (key from secrets.toml) → green
+- Neither call leaks provider-specific fields upward. Response is always the `/v1/chat` shape.
+
+**Non-goals:** Fallback chain (Phase 40), cost gating (Phase 40), Gemini/Claude adapters (Phase 40).
+
+**Risk:** Low-medium. The trait extraction is mostly a rearrange; OpenRouter is thin. Biggest risk is secret-loading conventions — `SecretsProvider` is already in place, so reuse that path.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 40 — Routing & Policy Engine + Observability Recovery
+
+**Goal:** Replace hardcoded T1-T5 routing with a rules engine. Add Gemini + Claude adapters. Cost gating enforced at router level. **Reinstate Langfuse + Gitea MCP** — recovery of the observability + repo-ops stack J built previously (see `project_lost_stack` memory).
+
+**Ships — routing:**
+- `crates/aibridge/src/routing.rs` — rules engine (match on: task type, token budget, previous attempt failures, profile ID)
+- `config/routing.toml` — rules in TOML (human-editable, hot-reloadable)
+- `crates/aibridge/src/providers/gemini.rs` — `generativelanguage.googleapis.com` adapter
+- `crates/aibridge/src/providers/claude.rs` — `api.anthropic.com` adapter
+- Fallback chain support: if primary returns 5xx or times out, try next in chain
+- Cost gate: per-request budget + daily budget per-provider
+
+**Ships — observability (was lost, now restored):**
+- **Langfuse** self-hosted via Docker Compose. Single source of truth for every LLM call trace: prompt / response / tokens / cost / latency / provider / fallback chain / profile used. UI at `localhost:3000`. Keys in `/etc/lakehouse/secrets.toml`.
+- `crates/aibridge/src/langfuse.rs` — thin fire-and-forget trace emitter. Every `/v1/chat` call spawns a background task that POSTs to `langfuse/api/public/ingestion`. Non-blocking: trace failures never affect response.
+- **Langfuse → observer pipe** — `mcp-server/langfuse_bridge.ts` or similar. Polls Langfuse's trace API at interval, forwards completed traces to observer `:3800/event` with `source: "langfuse"`. KB now sees cost/latency deltas per model, not just outcome deltas.
+- **Gitea MCP reconnect** — the MCP server binary still installed at `/home/profit/.bun/install/cache/gitea-mcp@0.0.10/` gets wired into `mcp-server/index.ts` tool registry. Agents can open PRs, comment on issues, list commits via named tools. Closes Phase 28's repo-ops gap.
+
+**Gate:**
+- Rule like "local models for simple JSON emitters, cloud for reasoning" fires correctly by task type
+- Primary fails → fallback provider hits, response still matches `/v1/chat` shape
+- Daily budget hit → subsequent requests return 429 with clear retry-at header
+- `/v1/usage` reports per-provider breakdown
+- **Every `/v1/chat` call appears in Langfuse UI** with correct prompt, response, latency, token count within 2 seconds of the request completing
+- **Langfuse → observer pipe** delivers trace deltas to KB: `GET :3800/stats?source=langfuse` shows non-zero count after a few scenarios run
+- **Gitea MCP tools callable** — `list_prs`, `open_pr`, `comment_on_issue` exposed in `mcp-server/index.ts`, verifiable via a quick agent scenario
+
+**Non-goals:** Retrieval Profile split (Phase 41), Truth Layer (Phase 42). Langfuse self-hosted UI customization / SSO.
+
+**Risk:** Medium. Multi-provider auth + cost tracking is cross-cutting; Langfuse adds 4-5 Docker containers (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis, web, worker). Mitigation: every provider call wrapped in a single `dispatch()` function so observability flows through one point; Langfuse Docker Compose is their supported deployment path, well-tested.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 41 — Profile System Expansion (+ Phase 37 hot-swap async folded in)
+
+**Goal:** The existing `ModelProfile` (Phase 17) becomes **ExecutionProfile**. Three new profile types land alongside. Profile activation is async — returns job_id, work runs in background (Phase 37 deliverable).
+
+**Ships:**
+- `crates/shared/src/profiles/` — `ExecutionProfile`, `RetrievalProfile`, `MemoryProfile`, `ObserverProfile`
+- `crates/catalogd` gains per-profile-type CRUD endpoints (`/catalog/profiles/retrieval`, etc.)
+- `crates/vectord/src/activation.rs` — `ActivationTracker` with background-job pattern (Phase 37 content)
+- `POST /vectors/profile/{id}/activate` returns 202 + job_id, polling at `GET /vectors/profile/jobs/{id}`
+- Single-flight guard: refuse new activation if one is pending/running
+- Backward compat: `ModelProfile` still loads, aliased to ExecutionProfile
+
+**Gate:**
+- Activate a profile → returns 202 in <100ms → job completes in background → `/vectors/profile/jobs/{id}` shows progress + final report
+- `tests/multi-agent/run_stress.ts` Phase 3 (hot-swap stress) passes (was SKIPPED)
+- Retrieval + Memory + Observer profiles can be created independently of Execution profile
+
+**Non-goals:** Truth Layer (Phase 42), validation (Phase 43), caller migration (Phase 44).
+
+**Risk:** Medium. Schema change + async refactor. Mitigation: `#[serde(default)]` on all new fields; existing profiles load unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 42 — Truth Layer (staffing rules first)
+
+**Goal:** New `crates/truth` crate holds immutable task-class constraints. Served via `/v1/context` to router and observer. No layer can override truth. **Staffing rules ship first**; Terraform/Ansible rule shapes are scaffolded but unpopulated until the long-horizon phase.
+
+**Ships:**
+- `crates/truth/src/lib.rs` — `TruthStore` with schema loading (TOML/YAML rules)
+- `crates/truth/src/staffing.rs` — staffing rule shapes:
+  - Worker eligibility (active status, not blacklisted for client, geo match, role match, availability window)
+  - Contract invariants (deadline present, role/count/city/state populated, budget_per_hour_max ≥ 0)
+  - PII handling (redaction rules on fields tagged `PII` before any cloud call — covers existing Phase 10 sensitivity tags)
+  - Client blacklist enforcement (auto-applied before any fill proposal)
+  - Fill requirements (endorsed_names count matches target_count, no duplicate worker_ids within a single fill)
+- `crates/truth/src/devops.rs` — **scaffold only**: empty rule struct for Terraform/Ansible, populated in the long-horizon phase. Keeps the dispatcher signature stable so no refactor needed later.
+- `truth/` dir at repo root — rule files, versioned in git
+- `/v1/context` endpoint — returns applicable rules for a task class (`staffing.fill`, `staffing.rescue`, `staffing.sms_draft`, etc.)
+- Router consults truth before dispatching: if task violates a rule, hard-fail with structured error + rule citation (matches existing Phase 13 access-control pattern)
+
+**Gate:**
+- Submit a fill proposal where a worker is client-blacklisted — router returns 422 + rule citation, no cloud tokens burned
+- Submit a fill with `endorsed_names.length != target_count` — 422 before dispatch
+- Observer cannot promote a correction that violates truth (rejected at router gate)
+- PII redaction verified: SSN / salary fields stripped from prompts before cloud calls
+- Truth reload is explicit (no file-watch hot reload in this phase)
+
+**Non-goals:** Validation execution (Phase 43), policy learning / evolution (deferred), actual Terraform/Ansible rules (long-horizon phase).
+
+**Risk:** Medium. Domain-specific rule enumeration takes discovery — start with a minimal rule set (5-10 staffing rules, derived from existing Phase 10-13 work) and grow organically as real fills surface edge cases.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 43 — Validation Pipeline (staffing outputs first)
+
+**Goal:** Staffing outputs run through schema / completeness / consistency / policy gates. Plug into Layer 5 execution loop — failure triggers observer-correction iteration. This is where the **0→85% pattern reproduces on real staffing tasks** — the iteration loop with validation in place is what made small models successful.
+
+**Ships:**
+- `crates/validator/src/lib.rs` — `Validator` trait: `validate(artifact) -> Result<Report, ValidationError>` + `Artifact` enum over output types
+- `crates/validator/src/staffing/fill.rs` — fill-proposal validator:
+  - Schema compliance (propose_done shape matches `{fills: [{candidate_id, name}]}`)
+  - Completeness (endorsed count == target_count)
+  - Worker existence (every candidate_id present in workers_500k via SQL lookup)
+  - Status check (every worker has status=active, not_on_client_blacklist)
+  - Geo/role match (worker city/state/role matches contract)
+- `crates/validator/src/staffing/email.rs` — generated email/SMS drafts:
+  - Schema (TO/BODY fields present)
+  - Length (SMS ≤ 160 chars; email subject ≤ 78 chars)
+  - PII absence (no SSN / salary leaked into outgoing text)
+  - Worker-name consistency (name in message matches worker record)
+- `crates/validator/src/staffing/playbook.rs` — sealed playbook:
+  - Operation format (`fill: Role xN in City, ST`)
+  - endorsed_names non-empty, ≤ target_count × 2
+  - fingerprint populated (Phase 25 validity window requirement)
+- `crates/validator/src/devops.rs` — **scaffold only**: stubbed Terraform/Ansible validators (`terraform validate`, `ansible-lint`) for the long-horizon phase
+- Task execution loop in gateway: generate → validate → if fail, observer correction + retry (bounded by `max_iterations=3`)
+- Validation results logged to observer (`data/_observer/ops.jsonl`) + KB (`data/_kb/outcomes.jsonl`)
+
+**Gate:**
+- Generate a fill proposal → validator catches a phantom worker_id → observer + cloud rescue propose correction → retry → green. This reproduces the 0→85% pattern on the live staffing pipeline.
+- `/v1/usage` shows iteration count per task, provider fallback chain, and tokens-per-iteration. Cost attribution per task class visible.
+- Reproduces 14× citation-lift finding from Phase 19 refinement on similar geos after validation gates.
+
+**Non-goals:** Caller migration (Phase 44), Terraform/Ansible wired validation (long-horizon).
+
+**Risk:** Medium. Validation shapes have to match actual executor outputs; mitigation is using real scenario runs as test fixtures (we have ~100 of them in `tests/multi-agent/playbooks/`).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 44 — Caller Migration + Direct-Provider Deprecation
+
+**Goal:** Every internal LLM caller routes through `/v1/chat`. Direct sidecar / direct Ollama / direct OpenAI calls are removed or explicitly deprecated with a warning.
+
+**Ships:**
+- `aibridge::AiClient` becomes a thin `/v1/chat` client (was direct-to-sidecar)
+- `crates/vectord::agent` (autotune): routes through `/v1`
+- `crates/vectord::autotune`: routes through `/v1`
+- `tests/multi-agent/agent.ts::generate()`: routes through `/v1`
+- `bot/propose.ts`: routes through `/v1` (already proposed as Phase 38's test consumer, formalized here)
+- Lint rule / grep pre-commit hook: no `fetch.*:3200/generate` outside the provider adapters
+
+**Gate:**
+- `grep -r "localhost:3200/generate\|/api/generate"` returns only adapter files + deprecation shims
+- `/v1/usage` accounts for every LLM call in the system within a 1-minute window after hitting a fresh scenario
+- Full scenario passes end-to-end without any caller bypassing `/v1/*`
+
+**Non-goals:** New features. This phase is purely mechanical migration.
+
+**Risk:** Low. Mechanical. Tests catch regressions.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 45 — Doc-drift detection + context7 integration
+
+**Goal:** Playbooks know which external docs they were written against. When those docs change (Docker adds a feature, npm lib goes major, Terraform renames a resource), the playbook is automatically flagged. Small models never run confidently-outdated procedures — the drift signal reaches them before the next execution does.
+
+**Why this phase exists at all:** The 0→85% thesis depends on the hyperfocus lane staying valid. External doc drift invalidates the lane silently — popular playbooks can compound the wrong way, accumulating boost while growing more wrong. Phase 25 already retires playbooks on *internal* schema drift; Phase 45 is the same mechanism against *external* doc drift. This is the completion of the learning loop, not an optional add-on.
+
+**Ships:**
+- `shared::types::DocRef` — `{ tool: String, version_seen: String, snippet_hash: Option<String>, source_url: Option<String>, seen_at: DateTime<Utc> }`
+- `PlaybookEntry.doc_refs: Vec<DocRef>` — `#[serde(default)]` so pre-Phase-45 entries load as empty vec
+- `/vectors/playbook_memory/seed` + `/revise` accept `doc_refs` in the request body
+- `/vectors/playbook_memory/doc_drift/check/{id}` — manual drift check: looks up each `doc_refs[]` entry via the context7 bridge, returns per-tool `{version_seen, version_current, drifted: bool}` plus overall verdict
+- `/vectors/playbook_memory/doc_drift/scan` — batch scan across all active playbooks (scheduled path for Phase 45.2)
+- `mcp-server/context7_bridge.ts` — Bun HTTP bridge. Exposes `GET /docs/:tool/version` + `GET /docs/:tool/:version/diff?since=X` against the installed context7 MCP plugin. Gateway calls this over localhost.
+- `PlaybookMemory::compute_boost_for_filtered_with_role` — excludes entries where `doc_drift_flagged_at.is_some() && doc_drift_review.is_none()` (same rule as retired + superseded)
+- Overview model synthesis writes `data/_kb/doc_drift_corrections.jsonl` per detected drift: `{playbook_id, tool, version_seen, version_current, diff_summary, recommended_action, generated_at}`
+- Human-in-the-loop re-seal path: `/vectors/playbook_memory/doc_drift/resolve/{id}` — marks reviewed, optionally triggers `revise_entry` if procedure changed
+
+**Gate:**
+- Seal a playbook referencing Docker 24.x → doc_refs captured. Bump Docker version behind the scenes → `/doc_drift/check/{id}` returns `drifted: true, from: 24.0.7, to: 25.0.1, summary: "..."`. The boosted playbook count on next `/vectors/hybrid` query drops by 1 (drift-flagged skipped).
+- `doc_drift_corrections.jsonl` contains the overview model's synthesis for the drift with at least: summary of change, recommended action, cost/impact estimate.
+- Human calls `/doc_drift/resolve/{id}` after reviewing → playbook returns to active boost pool (or supersedes via Phase 27 if procedure materially changed).
+- Unit tests: DocRef serde default (legacy entries load as empty), drift check against mocked context7 bridge, boost exclusion when drifted+unreviewed.
+
+**Non-goals (explicit):**
+- Automatic re-seal without human review. Drift-detection → flag, not silent rewrite.
+- Cross-playbook propagation of one drift diagnosis. Each playbook reviewed individually (aggregation later if warranted).
+- Generating the updated procedure. T3 *suggests*; human or separate bot (see `bot/`) *writes*.
+
+**Risk:** Medium. The context7 bridge is new infrastructure (Bun ↔ context7 MCP plugin ↔ HTTP shape for gateway consumption). Mitigation: context7 plugin is already installed; its MCP tools return structured JSON; the bridge is thin adapter code. Start with single-tool drift check (Docker) before broadening.
+
+---
+
+## Long-horizon domains (not in current phase sequence)
+
+The architecture was drafted with DevOps execution (Terraform, Ansible) as the eventual target. **That remains aspirational, not current scope** — we don't start wiring `terraform validate` / `ansible-lint` until the staffing domain proves the six-layer architecture at scale.
+
+What "proves at scale" means concretely:
+- Phases 38-44 all shipped against staffing, green tests
+- Live staffing pipeline handles **multiple concurrent contracts** with emails + SMS + indexed playbooks via `/v1/*`
+- Observed **iteration success lift** (the 0→85% pattern) reproduced on varied staffing scenarios, not just the original proof-of-concept
+- Token + cost accounting stable across provider fallback chains under real load
+- Truth Layer rules prevent real fill errors before cloud burn (not just theoretical)
+
+When staffing hits that bar, the DevOps domain lights up by:
+- Populating `crates/truth/src/devops.rs` with real Terraform/Ansible rule shapes
+- Populating `crates/validator/src/devops.rs` with `terraform validate` / `ansible-lint` shell-out
+- Adding DevOps task classes to `/v1/context` rule lookup
+- No architectural changes needed — the dispatcher, router, and execution loop stay identical.
+
+Other candidate long-horizon domains (same pattern):
+- Code generation tasks (validation via `cargo check` / `bun test`)
+- SQL query generation (validation via EXPLAIN + schema compliance)
+- Data pipeline definitions (validation via lineage check + schema compliance)
+
+None of these are in the current roadmap. **Staffing first, production-proven, then expand.**
+
+---
+
+## 1. Purpose
+
+Design and implement a universal AI control-plane API that enables:
+
+- **deterministic high-stakes task execution** — the immediate domain is staffing fills (contracts, workers, emails, SMS) at scale; the same architecture extends later to DevOps (Terraform, Ansible) without redesign
+- iterative capability amplification via observer loops
+- hybrid local + cloud model orchestration
+- structured knowledge + memory + playbook reuse
+- controlled improvement over time through validated iteration
+
+The system prioritizes **validated pipeline success over raw model intelligence**.
+
+### Current scope — staffing at scale
+
+The architecture must make the already-built staffing substrate reliably answer millions of inputs: pull real data, graph it across contracts, handle multiple concurrent contracts, index emails + SMS + playbooks via the hybrid SQL+vector method, and get **faster and better each iteration** via the feedback loops (Phase 19 playbook boost, Phase 22 KB pathway recommender, Phase 24 observer, Phase 26 Mem0 upsert).
+
+DevOps is an eventual domain — see §Long-horizon domains.
+
+## 2. Core Objectives
+
+### 2.1 Functional Goals
+
+- Provide a single universal API for all AI interactions
+- Support multi-provider routing (local, flat-rate, token-based)
+- Enable iterative execution loops with observer correction
+- Store and reuse successful execution playbooks
+- Integrate: S3-based knowledge storage, LanceDB retrieval/indexing, Mem0 memory layer, MCP tool ecosystem
+
+### 2.2 Non-Functional Goals
+
+- Deterministic behavior under constrained execution
+- Full observability and cost accounting
+- Safe DevOps execution (no uncontrolled mutation)
+- Profile-driven routing and execution
+- Reproducibility of successful runs
+
+## 3. System Architecture
+
+### 3.1 Layer Overview
+
+**Layer 1 — Universal API**
+
+Single entry point for all applications. Endpoints:
+
+- `/v1/chat`
+- `/v1/respond`
+- `/v1/tools`
+- `/v1/context`
+- `/v1/usage`
+- `/v1/sessions`
+
+All programs must use this layer. No direct provider calls allowed.
+
+**Layer 2 — Routing & Policy Engine**
+
+Responsibilities: provider selection, fallback logic, cost gating, premium access control, profile enforcement.
+Routing based on: task type, constraints, execution profile, system health.
+
+**Layer 3 — Provider Adapter Layer**
+
+Normalizes all providers: Ollama (local), OpenRouter, Gemini (direct), Claude (direct or routed), future providers.
+Guarantee: no provider-specific logic leaks upward.
+
+**Layer 4 — Knowledge & Memory Plane**
+
+- Knowledge (S3 + LanceDB): raw documents, processed chunks, embeddings, index profiles
+- Memory (Mem0): extracted facts, entity-linked memory, session-aware retrieval
+- Playbooks: successful execution traces, reusable patterns, correction strategies
+
+**Layer 5 — Execution Loop**
+
+Each task runs through: Retrieval → Planning → Generation → Validation → Observer feedback → Iteration (if needed).
+
+**Layer 6 — Observability & Accounting**
+
+Every request logs: tokens (input/output), cost, latency, provider, fallback chain, profile used, iteration delta.
+
+## 4. Execution Model
+
+### 4.1 Iterative Loop
+
+Each task follows: **Attempt → Validate → Observe → Adjust → Retry**
+
+Constraints:
+
+- max iterations (default: 3)
+- minimum improvement threshold
+- cost ceiling per task
+
+### 4.2 Observer Role
+
+Observer can: analyze failure, suggest corrections, recommend profile changes.
+Observer cannot: modify truth layer, auto-promote changes, override constraints.
+
+### 4.3 Cloud Escalation
+
+Cloud models (Gemini, Claude) are used for: structural correction, reasoning gaps, complex decomposition.
+They are not used for: brute-force retries, bulk execution.
+
+## 5. Profile System
+
+### 5.1 Profile Types
+
+- **Retrieval Profile** — chunking strategy, embedding method, reranking rules
+- **Memory Profile** — memory weighting, context injection rules
+- **Execution Profile** — allowed providers, tool access, risk level
+- **Observer Profile** — mutation aggressiveness, iteration strategy
+
+### 5.2 Profile Constraints
+
+- only one major profile change per iteration
+- profiles must produce measurable deltas
+- promotion requires repeated success
+
+## 6. Truth Layer (Critical)
+
+Defines non-negotiable constraints:
+
+- Terraform rules
+- Ansible structure requirements
+- security policies
+- organization standards
+
+Rules:
+
+- immutable at runtime
+- referenced by all layers
+- cannot be overridden by observer
+
+## 7. Playbook System
+
+### 7.1 Playbook Definition
+
+Each successful run produces: task class, context used, steps executed, tools used, output artifacts, validation results, cost/latency, success score.
+
+### 7.2 Playbook Lifecycle
+
+- created on success
+- reused for similar tasks
+- decayed over time
+- pruned if ineffective
+
+## 8. Validation System
+
+All DevOps outputs must pass: syntax validation, linting, dry-run, policy compliance.
+Failure → iteration continues or task fails.
+
+## 9. MCP Integration
+
+MCP servers provide: tools, external data, execution capabilities.
+All MCP outputs must be: normalized, validated, schema-compliant.
+No direct MCP output reaches the model.
+
+## 10. Token Accounting & Budget Control
+
+Each request tracks: input tokens, output tokens, retries, fallback cost.
+Policies: premium providers gated, cost ceilings enforced, per-task budget limits.
+
+## 11. Failure Handling
+
+**Recoverable failures:** bad decomposition, missing steps, weak retrieval → observer + iteration.
+
+**Hard failures:** missing truth data, invalid task classification, unsafe execution → termination + error report.
+
+## 12. Success Criteria
+
+A task is successful only if:
+
+- output is valid
+- all validators pass
+- no policy violations
+- result is reproducible
+- cost within limits
+
+## 13. Key Risks & Mitigations
+
+- **Observer drift** → bounded authority, confidence tracking
+- **Memory poisoning** → validation layer, memory weighting
+- **Cost explosion** → token accounting, iteration caps
+- **Retrieval errors** → post-retrieval validation, profile tuning

 **Date:** 2026-04-16
 **Decision:** Keep Parquet + binary-blob vectors + in-RAM HNSW as the primary vector backend. Add Lance as a second backend available per-profile for workloads where Lance wins architecturally. Per-profile `vector_backend: Parquet | Lance` field becomes part of Phase 17 model profiles. Implementation kicks off via the standalone `crates/lance-bench` crate and is promoted into `vectord::lance_store` when the API stabilizes.
 **Rationale:** Head-to-head benchmark on the 100K × 768d `resumes_100k_v2` index (see `docs/ADR-019-vector-storage.md` for the full scorecard). Parquet+HNSW wins current-scale search latency by 2.55× (873us vs 2229us p50). Lance wins index build time by 14× (16s vs 230s), random row access by 112× (311us vs ~35ms full-file scan), and append speed structurally (0.08s vs full Parquet rewrite). Neither strictly dominates — the dual-use PRD framing (staffing + LLM brain) means both workloads exist in the same system. Keeps ADR-008's "Parquet is the format" principle intact for dataset tables; adds Lance as a purpose-built vector-tier option without discarding the tuned HNSW stack.
+
+## ADR-020: `register()` is idempotent by name with a schema-fingerprint gate
+**Date:** 2026-04-19
+**Decision:** `catalogd::Registry::register(name, fingerprint, objects)` is idempotent on `name`. If no manifest for `name` exists, create one. If one exists with the same `schema_fingerprint`, reuse its `DatasetId`, replace `objects`, bump `updated_at`, and write through. If one exists with a different `schema_fingerprint`, reject with `409 Conflict` (HTTP) / `FAILED_PRECONDITION` (gRPC). A one-shot operator endpoint `POST /catalog/dedupe` collapses any pre-existing duplicates (preferring the manifest with a non-null `row_count`, then the most recently updated).
+**Rationale:** Registry was keyed by surrogate `DatasetId` with no uniqueness constraint on `name`, so every caller that re-registered (re-ingest, external cron, gRPC retry) silently created a parallel manifest pointing at the same parquet — accumulating 308× `successful_playbooks` in live state before detection. The fingerprint gate turns re-ingest into an explicit no-op (matching PRD invariant #5 "ingestd is idempotent — re-ingesting the same file is a no-op") while forcing schema drift to be visible instead of silently clobbering. 409 status separates policy rejections from server errors, which matters for the Phase 12 tool-consumer ecosystem. Concurrency: the write lock is held across the storage write to close the check→insert TOCTOU window; serializing registers is acceptable because registers-per-second is low on the ingest path. Audit: idempotent-register events are visible as bumps to the stored manifest's `updated_at` field and in `catalogd` tracing output (tracing is non-durable, operator view only); `DedupeReport` is the return-value audit for cleanup runs. No event-journal entries are emitted — ADR-012 scopes the journal to row-level mutations, not catalog-manifest operations.

+  - `catalogd::Registry::register` now gates on `(name, schema_fingerprint)`: same fp → reuse `DatasetId` and update objects in place; different fp → return error (409 Conflict on HTTP, `FAILED_PRECONDITION` on gRPC). First-time registration is unchanged.

Time decay also wired: `BOOST_HALF_LIFE_DAYS = 30.0` — 30-day-old playbooks contribute half, 60-day a quarter, via `exp(-age_days / 30)` in the boost loop
+  - Real finding surfaced during build: the 32 bootstrap rows in `successful_playbooks` reference phantom worker names — 80 of 82 don't correspond to actual rows in `workers_500k`. `/seed` endpoint bypasses `successful_playbooks` so operators can prime memory with real fixtures; production path is the orchestrator write-through
+- [x] **Phase 19 refinement — geo + role prefilter on boost** (2026-04-21)
+  - Added `compute_boost_for_filtered` and `compute_boost_for_filtered_with_role` to `playbook_memory.rs`. SQL filter's `(city, state, role)` parsed in `service.rs`; exact role-matches in target geo skip cosine and earn similarity=1.0. Restored the feedback loop: matched=0 → matched=11 per query on the same Nashville test. Citation density on Riverfront Steel: 2 → 28 per run (14×).
+  - Rust unit tests: `extractor_tests::extract_target_geo_basic/_missing_state/_word_boundary`, `extract_target_role_basic/_none/_multi_word`. 6/6 pass.
+  - Diagnostic log: `playbook_boost: boosts=N sources=N parsed=N matched=N target_geo=? target_role=?` on every call.
+- [x] **Phase 20: Model Matrix + Overseer Tiers** (2026-04-21)
+  - `config/models.json` — 5 tiers (t1_hot / t2_review / t3_overview / t4_strategic / t5_gatekeeper), each with context_window + context_budget + overflow_policy. Ollama Cloud bearer key from `/root/llm_team_config.json`.
+  - Hot path: qwen3.5:latest + qwen3:latest local with `think:false`. Mistral dropped after 0/14 fill on complex scenarios.
+  - T3 cloud: gpt-oss:120b via Ollama Cloud — verified 4-8s latency, strict JSON-shape output for remediation.
+- [x] **Phase 21: Scratchpad + Tree-Split Continuation** (2026-04-21)
+  - `tests/multi-agent/agent.ts`: `estimateTokens()`, `assertContextBudget()`, `generateContinuable()`, `generateTreeSplit()`. `think` flag plumbed through sidecar's `/generate`. Empty-response backoff + truncation-continuation, no max_tokens tourniquet.
+  - Rust port shipped (2026-04-21, companion to Phase 27):
+    - `crates/aibridge/src/context.rs` — `estimate_tokens` (chars/4 ceil, matches TS), `context_window_for`, `assert_context_budget` returning `Result<BudgetCheck, (BudgetCheck, usize over_by)>` so callers get the numbers back on both success and overflow. Windows table mirrors `config/models.json`.
+    - `crates/aibridge/src/continuation.rs` — `generate_continuable<G: TextGenerator>` handles the two failure modes from TS: (a) empty thinking-model response → geometric-backoff retry with 2× budget up to `budget_cap`; (b) truncated non-empty → continuation with partial-as-scratchpad. `is_structurally_complete` balances braces then JSON.parse-check for the JSON shape; text shape is "non-empty". Guards the degen case "all retries empty → bail, don't loop on empty partial" — the TS impl has this implicit, Rust makes it explicit.
+    - `crates/aibridge/src/tree_split.rs` — `generate_tree_split` map→reduce with running scratchpad. Per-shard + reduce-prompt budget checked through `assert_context_budget`; loud-fails with the overflow message rather than silently truncating. Scratchpad oldest-digest-first truncation once it exceeds `scratchpad_budget` (default 6000 tokens, matches TS).
+    - `TextGenerator` trait (native async-fn-in-trait, edition 2024) so `ScriptedGenerator` test double can inject canned sequences without a live Ollama. `AiClient` implements `TextGenerator`.
+    - `GenerateRequest` gained `think: Option<bool>` field — forwards to sidecar for per-call hidden-reasoning opt-out on hot-path JSON emitters.
+    - 25 aibridge unit tests (8 context + 10 continuation + 7 tree_split) — all green, no network required.
+- [x] **Phase 22: Internal Knowledge Library** (2026-04-21)
+  - `data/_kb/` — signatures.jsonl, outcomes.jsonl, pathway_recommendations.jsonl, error_corrections.jsonl, config_snapshots.jsonl. Event-driven cycle: indexRun → recommendFor → loadRecommendation.
+  - Item B cloud rescue: failed event → cloud remediation JSON → retry with pivot. Verified 1/3 rescues succeeded on stress_01 (Gary IN → South Bend IN pivot).
+  - `scripts/kb_measure.py` aggregator. Unit tests: `kb.test.ts` — 4/4 pass (signature stability, role/city/count invariants, digest shape).
+- [x] **Phase 23: Staffer identity + competence-weighted retrieval** (2026-04-21)
+  - ScenarioSpec gained `contract: ContractTerms` and `staffer: Staffer { id, name, tenure_months, role, tool_level }`.
+  - tool_level runtime overrides: full / local / basic / minimal. Basic + minimal route executor to Ollama Cloud `kimi-k2.5` (kimi-k2.6 pending pro-tier upgrade).
+  - `data/_kb/staffers.jsonl` — competence_score = 0.45·fill + 0.20·turn_eff + 0.20·cite + 0.15·rescue. Recomputed per run.
+  - `findNeighbors` now returns `weighted_score = cosine × max_staffer_competence`. `scripts/kb_staffer_report.py` — leaderboard + cross-staffer worker overlap (Rachel D. Lewis 12× across 4 staffers → auto-discovered high-value label).
+  - `gen_staffer_demo.ts` + `run_staffer_demo.sh` — 4 personas × 3 contracts = 12 runs.
+- [x] **Phase 27: Playbook versioning** (2026-04-21)
+  - `PlaybookEntry` gained `version: u32` (default 1), `parent_id`, `superseded_at`, `superseded_by` fields. All `#[serde(default)]` so entries persisted before Phase 27 load as roots with version=1.
+  - `PlaybookMemory::revise_entry(parent_id, new_entry)` appends a new version, stamps `superseded_at`+`superseded_by` on the parent, inherits `parent_id` and sets `version = parent + 1` on the new entry. Rejects revising a retired or already-superseded parent with a clear error — the tip of the chain is the only valid revise target.
+  - `PlaybookMemory::history(playbook_id)` returns the full chain root→tip, walking `parent_id` backward then `superseded_by` forward. Cycle-safe. Works from any node in the chain.
+  - Superseded entries excluded from boost (same rule as retired): `compute_boost_for_filtered_with_role`, the active-entries prefilter, the geo-index rebuild, and the upsert existing-entry search all skip `superseded_at.is_some()`.
+  - Endpoints: `POST /vectors/playbook_memory/revise` + `GET /vectors/playbook_memory/history/{id}`.
+  - `status_counts` now returns `(total, retired, superseded, failures)`. `/status` JSON reports `superseded` as a distinct counter; `active = total - retired - superseded`.
+  - 8 unit tests under `mod version_tests` covering: chain-metadata stamping, retired-parent rejection, already-superseded-parent rejection, superseded endorsement exclusion from boost, history traversal from root/tip/middle, empty-for-unknown-id, superseded-status-count, legacy-entry-default-version round-trip. 26/26 playbook_memory tests pass.
+- [x] **Phase 24: Observer / Autotune integration** (2026-04-20, commit b95dd86)
+  - Closed the gap where `lakehouse-observer.service` wrapped MCP :3700 while `tests/multi-agent/scenario.ts` hit gateway :3100 directly — observer sat idle at 0 ops across 3600+ cycles.
+  - `observer.ts` gained a Bun HTTP listener on `OBSERVER_PORT` (default 3800) with `GET /health`, `GET /stats` (totals + by_source + recent scenario digest), and `POST /event` for scenario outcomes. Body shapes into `ObservedOp` with `source="scenario"` + `staffer_id` + `sig_hash` + `event_kind` + geo + rescue flags.
+  - `recordExternalOp()` shared ring-buffer insert — ERROR_ANALYZER and PLAYBOOK_BUILDER loops now see both MCP-wrapped and scenario-posted ops through the same path.
+  - `persistOp()` swap: old path wrote via `/ingest/file?name=observed_operations` which has REPLACE semantics (wiped prior ops); now uses append-friendly Parquet write-through.
+- [x] **Phase 25: Validity windows + playbook retirement** (2026-04-21, commit e0a843d)
+  - `PlaybookEntry` gained four optional fields (`#[serde(default)]` so legacy entries load as never-expiring): `schema_fingerprint` (SHA-256 over target dataset columns at seed time), `valid_until` (RFC3339 hard expiry), `retired_at` (set by retire calls), `retirement_reason` (human string).
+  - `compute_boost_for_filtered_with_role` now skips retired + expired entries before geo/cosine — no silent boosting from stale playbooks. Unit-tested on expired `valid_until` + retired + schema-drift retirement.
+  - Two retirement paths: `retire_one(playbook_id, reason)` for manual, `retire_on_schema_drift(city, state, current_fingerprint, reason)` for batch schema-migration sweep. Legacy entries without a fingerprint skip drift retirement (safe).
+  - Endpoint: `POST /vectors/playbook_memory/retire` — accepts either `{playbook_id, reason}` or `{city, state, current_schema_fingerprint, reason}`.
+- [x] **Phase 26: Mem0 upsert + Letta geo hot cache** (2026-04-21, commit 640db8c)
+  - Mem0-style upsert: `/seed` with `append=true` (default) routes through `upsert_entry`, which decides ADD / UPDATE / NOOP on (operation, day, city, state). Same-day re-seed merges names (union, stable order) instead of duplicating the row. Identical re-seed is a no-op. Different-day same-operation is a fresh ADD. Playbook_id stays stable on UPDATE so prior citations remain valid.
+  - Letta-style hot cache: `PlaybookMemory` now holds a `geo_index: HashMap<(city_lower, state_upper), Vec<entry_idx>>` rebuilt on every mutation. Geo-filtered boost queries skip the full scan and hit the O(1) key lookup. At 1.9K entries the full scan was sub-ms; the index scales the same path to 100K+ without code changes.
+  - `UpsertOutcome` enum reported back to callers — `{mode: added|updated|noop, playbook_id, merged_names?}` + `entries_after`.
+- [ ] Fine-tuned domain models (Phase 25+)
+- [ ] Multi-node query distribution (only if ceilings bite)

 9. **Every reader gets its own profile.** Human operators, AI agents, and local models are all clients of the same substrate. Each has a named profile with its own bucket, vector indexes, trial history, and dataset bindings. Profiles are a first-class architectural concept, not a tenancy afterthought. (Phase 17)
 10. **Trials are data, not logs.** Every index build is a trial with measurable metrics. The trial journal IS the agent's memory for how to tune itself. Stored as write-once batched JSONL per the ADR-018 append-log pattern.
 11. **Operational failures are findable in one HTTP call.** The bucket error journal, trial journal, and audit log all expose `/storage/errors`, `/hnsw/trials`, `/access/audit` with structured filter + aggregation. No `grep` archaeology to answer "what broke?"
+12. **Playbooks feed the index, not just the log.** A completed playbook isn't just a record of what worked — it's a signal that shapes future rankings. Every `successful_playbooks` row contributes to the playbook-memory vector index, so semantically-similar future operations re-rank toward workers that have actually succeeded in comparable fills. This is the "system gets smarter over time" dimension that distinguishes this substrate from a static search engine. (Phase 19)

+
+## Vision drift acknowledged (2026-04-20)
+
+The system as shipped through Phase 18 is a **hybrid SQL+vector search engine with a playbook log**. The original pitch (and the "staffing AI co-pilot" framing) implied a **meta-index that learns from playbooks over time** — hot-swap profiles weren't just routing, they were knowledge generations that compounded. That learning loop was never built; playbooks were write-only. Phase 19 closes that gap explicitly.
+
+The feedback signal is **statistical + semantic**, not neural. No model training — the index reads the playbook journal, computes operation-similarity, and boosts endorsed workers at query time. Rebuildable from `successful_playbooks` alone, same as every other derived index.

-### Phase 19+: Further horizon
+### Phase 19: Playbook memory (meta-index) — the feedback loop
+
+Make successful playbooks actually improve future searches. Today `successful_playbooks` is a write-only log; future-you looks at it and thinks "cool, we filled Toledo welders once" — but the index has no idea it happened, so the next Toledo-welder search ranks the same as if none of those fills had existed. Phase 19 closes the loop.
+
+| Step | Deliverable | Gate |
+|---|---|---|
+| 19.1 | Embed every `successful_playbooks` row — operation + approach + context → one chunk per playbook | A new dataset `playbook_memory` appears in catalog with N rows = row count of `successful_playbooks` |
+| 19.2 | Vector index on `playbook_memory` (HNSW or Lance — whichever `agent-parquet` profile uses) | `/vectors/search` against `playbook_memory` returns semantically similar past playbooks |
+| 19.3 | Endorsement extraction: each playbook row has `fills[]` (worker_ids it succeeded with). Parse them out at ingest time and store in a sidecar `playbook_endorsements` Parquet keyed by playbook_id | `SELECT * FROM playbook_endorsements WHERE playbook_id = 'X'` returns the worker_ids |
+| 19.4 | `/vectors/hybrid` gains opt-in `use_playbook_memory: bool`. When true: after hybrid ranks candidates, find top-K similar past playbooks (semantic search over `playbook_memory`), extract endorsed worker_ids, add a bounded boost to candidates in the endorsed set, re-rank | A search where the "right" worker is known from a prior playbook ranks higher with the flag than without |
+| 19.5 | Write-through from multi-agent orchestrator: when two agents seal a playbook, it appends to `successful_playbooks` AND triggers a refresh of `playbook_memory` (via existing Phase C stale-mark path). Next query sees the new signal. | Run the orchestrator → inspect `playbook_memory` → see a new row. Run the same query before/after → ranking differs. |
+| 19.6 | Ceiling-aware boost: cap the per-worker boost so one popular worker can't dominate future searches. Boost decays with time (optional) so stale playbooks matter less. | Synthetic test: 100 playbooks all filled with the same worker_id; the 101st search still returns a mix, not just that one worker |
+
+**Gate:** Run a real search before and after a new successful playbook lands. The endorsed workers from similar past operations rank higher in the second call. Demonstrable with a diff of the two result sets.
+
+**Why this is the right version of "meta-index":** The alternative — training a neural re-ranker on (query, candidate, outcome) triples — is a weeks-long ML story and requires labeled outcome data we don't really have. The statistical-semantic version here is rebuildable from the existing playbook journal, explainable ("boosted because of similar playbooks X, Y, Z"), and invalidatable (delete a playbook → boost goes away on next rebuild). It gets 80% of the payoff at 10% of the cost. Neural re-ranking stays as a future option if it bites.
+
+**Non-goals for this phase:**
+- Neural training / fine-tuning. Statistical feedback only.
+- Hard guarantees about recall lift magnitude. "Measurably better on the demo query" is the gate, not a universal quality claim.
+- Real-time recomputation on every playbook. Batched refresh via the existing stale-marking path is sufficient.
+
+### Phase 19 refinement (WIRED 2026-04-21): geo-filter + role prefilter on boost
+
+Item-3 diagnostic pass surfaced that `compute_boost_for` was ranking playbooks globally by cosine similarity, while candidates came from an SQL-filtered city. Result: boost map had 170 endorsed workers, 0 intersected the 50 Nashville-filtered candidates. Zero citations where there should have been dozens.
+
+Fix — in `crates/vectord/src/playbook_memory.rs`:
+- `compute_boost_for_filtered(target_geo)` — skip playbooks from other cities before cosine sort.
+- `compute_boost_for_filtered_with_role(target_geo, target_role)` — multi-strategy: exact (role, city, state) match earns similarity=1.0 and fills up to half the top_k; cosine fallback fills the rest. Mirrors Mem0/Zep 2026 guidance on parallel-strategy rerank.
+
+In `crates/vectord/src/service.rs`:
+- `extract_target_geo` and `extract_target_role` pull both from the executor's SQL filter.
+- `tracing::info!` emits `playbook_boost: boosts=N sources=N parsed=N matched=N target_geo=? target_role=?` on every hybrid_search. Silent-truncation class of bug now visible.
+
+Citation lift measured: avg citations per run 0.32 → 1.38 after geo filter; then 2 → 28 in the single-scenario Riverfront Steel re-run after role prefilter landed. 14× delta on same scenario.
+
+Unit tests: `extract_target_geo_basic`, `_missing_state_returns_none`, `_word_boundary` (rejects "civilian" substring), `extract_target_role_basic`, `_none_when_absent`, `_multi_word` — all pass (`cargo test -p vectord --lib extractor_tests`).
+
+### Phase 20: Model Matrix + Overseer Tiers (WIRED 2026-04-21)
+
+Five-tier routing declared in `config/models.json`. Hot path (T1/T2) stays local (qwen3.5 + qwen3 after mistral was dropped for 0/14 fill rate on complex scenarios). Cloud for overview (T3 gpt-oss:120b), strategic (T4 qwen3.5:397b), and gatekeeper (T5 kimi-k2-thinking). Every tier declares `context_window` + `context_budget` + `overflow_policy`.
+
+- T1 hot: 50-200 calls/scenario, local only — `qwen3.5:latest` executor, `think:false`
+- T2 review: 5-14 calls/event, local only — `qwen3:latest` reviewer, `think:false`
+- T3 overview: 1-3 calls/scenario, cloud primary — `gpt-oss:120b` on Ollama Cloud, thinking on
+- T4 strategic: 1-10 calls/day, cloud primary
+- T5 gatekeeper: 1-5 calls/day, audit-logged
+
+T3 checkpoints + cross-day lessons wired. Lessons archive to `data/_playbook_lessons/` and load back at next scenario start as `prior_lessons` in executor context. Cloud passthrough verified on stress_01 scenario with `LH_OVERVIEW_CLOUD=1` — `gpt-oss:120b` response latency consistently 4-8s, diagnosing city-pivot ("Gary IN → Chicago IL, 40mi") when target city has zero supply.
+
+`think:false` is the key mechanical finding — qwen3.5 burns ~650 tokens of hidden reasoning before emitting response; hot-path JSON emitters MUST disable thinking or continuation has to paper over empty returns. T3/T4 overseers KEEP thinking (that's the point).
+
+**Kimi-k2.6 upgrade path:** Current Ollama Cloud key returns 403 on kimi-k2.6 (`ollama run kimi-k2.6:cloud` requires `ollama signin` with pro-tier account). kimi-k2.5 substitutes on the current tier — same family, strong at tool calling. Swap to k2.6 is a one-line change in `applyToolLevel` once the subscription lands.
+
+### Phase 21: Scratchpad + Tree-Split Continuation
+
+**Why this is a phase and not an optimization:** bumping `max_tokens` until a response stops truncating is a tourniquet — J called this out explicitly. As playbooks accumulate into the hundreds and responses grow, eventually SOME request will exceed SOME model's window, and we can't solve it by raising a number. The stable answer is two primitives that let us handle arbitrary-size work without losing context: a scratchpad that glues multi-call responses together, and a tree split that shards oversized inputs and reduces them back.
+
+**Two primitives (WIRED 2026-04-21 in `tests/multi-agent/agent.ts`):**
+
+1. **`generateContinuable()`** — handles OUTPUT overflow. Calls the model; checks structural completeness (for JSON: matched braces + JSON.parse success; for text: non-empty). If incomplete, calls again with "continue from here" + the partial response as scratchpad. Up to `max_continuations` times. No `max_tokens` tuning needed — if thinking ate the initial budget, continuation picks up the slack.
+
+2. **`generateTreeSplit()`** — handles INPUT overflow. Caller passes an array of shards (semantic chunks of the corpus). For each shard: map call with running scratchpad digest. Final reduce call produces the answer. Scratchpad truncates oldest content if it approaches its own budget. If a single shard still overflows, `assertContextBudget` throws — caller must re-shard at finer granularity, NOT silently truncate.
+
+**Guarantees:**
+1. No agent call can silently truncate. Either it completes, continues, or throws with numbers.
+2. No corpus is too big — `generateTreeSplit` handles any size the caller can shard.
+3. Scratchpad is the glue between multi-call responses; context is never lost, only compacted.
+4. Token estimation uses `chars / 4` (biased safe ~15%) until we wire the provider's tokenizer.
+
+**What lives where now:**
+- `agent.ts::estimateTokens()` + `assertContextBudget()` + `generateContinuable()` + `generateTreeSplit()` — WIRED
+- `scenario.ts` executor + reviewer + overviewGenerate calls — migrated to `generateContinuable`
+- `config/models.json` — context_window + context_budget + overflow_policies per tier (declarative)
+
+**Next sprint (Rust side, so gateway tools share it):**
+- `crates/aibridge/src/continuation.rs` — port of `generateContinuable`
+- `crates/aibridge/src/tree_split.rs` — port of `generateTreeSplit`
+- `crates/storaged/src/chunk_cache.rs` — precomputed shards keyed by corpus hash (avoid re-chunking on every T4 run)
+- `/metrics` counter: `context_continuations_total{model,shape,succeeded}`
+
+**Status:** TS primitives WIRED. Rust port pending. The escalation path (tree split → bigger-context cloud model → kimi-k2:1t's 1M window → split decision into sub-decisions) is declared in `config/models.json` under `context_management.overflow_policies`.
+
+### Phase 21 status update (WIRED 2026-04-21 evening)
+
+Additional primitives landed after the initial commit:
+
+- **`think: boolean`** flag plumbed through `generate()`, `generateCloud()`, `generateContinuable()`, and into sidecar's `/generate` endpoint. Enables per-call opt-out of hidden reasoning for hot-path JSON emitters. Verified: qwen3.5 with `think:false` + `num_predict:400` returns clean `{"worker_id":...}` on first call; without `think:false`, 650 tokens eaten by reasoning, response empty.
+
+- **Cloud executor routing** — `ACTIVE_EXECUTOR_CLOUD` / `ACTIVE_REVIEWER_CLOUD` flags let per-staffer tool_level route executor to Ollama Cloud when weak local model (qwen2.5) would collapse. Verified on kimi-k2.5 via Ollama Cloud: clean JSON emission, think:false honored.
+
+Rust port of continuation + tree-split primitives remains queued for next sprint (`crates/aibridge/src/continuation.rs`, `tree_split.rs`).
+
+### Phase 22: Internal Knowledge Library (KB)
+
+Meta-layer over Phase 19 playbook_memory. Playbook memory answers "which WORKERS worked for this event." The KB answers "which CONFIG worked for this playbook signature." Subject changes from workers to the system itself — model choice, budget hints, overflow policies, pathway notes.
+
+**Files (`data/_kb/`):**
+- `signatures.jsonl` — (sig_hash, embedding[], first_seen, last_seen, run_count). Sig = stable hash of the sequence of (kind, role, count, city, state) across events.
+- `outcomes.jsonl` — per-run record: {sig, run_id, models, ok/total, turns, citations, per-event summary, elapsed}.
+- `pathway_recommendations.jsonl` — AI-synthesized for next run: {confidence, rationale, top_models, budget_hints, pathway_notes, neighbors_consulted}.
+- `error_corrections.jsonl` — detected fail→succeed pairs on same sig, diff of what changed.
+- `config_snapshots.jsonl` — history of models.json changes + why.
+
+**Cycle (event-driven, not wall-clock):**
+1. Scenario ends → `kb.indexRun()` extracts signature, embeds spec digest, appends outcome.
+2. `kb.recommendFor(nextSpec)` finds k-NN signatures via cosine, feeds their outcome history + recent error corrections to the overview model, writes a structured recommendation.
+3. Next scenario starts → `kb.loadRecommendation(spec)` pulls the newest rec for this sig, injects `pathway_notes` into `guidanceFor()` alongside prior lessons.
+
+**Why file-based for MVP:** Phase 19 playbook_memory is already a catalogd dataset. KB is a separate meta-layer; keep it file-based first to iterate without a gateway schema migration. Rust port (and promotion to vectord-indexed corpus for neighbor search at scale) lands once shape stabilizes — mirrors how Phase 21 primitives were TS-first → Rust next sprint.
+
+**What the overview model gets asked:**
+- Target scenario digest
+- Top-k neighbor signatures with avg ok rate, best model combo per neighbor
+- Recent error corrections (sig, before/after model set)
+
+**What it outputs (JSON-constrained):**
+- confidence (high/medium/low)
+- rationale (2-3 sentences)
+- top_models {executor, reviewer, overview}
+- budget_hints {executor_max_tokens, reviewer_max_tokens, executor_think}
+- pathway_notes (concrete pre-run advice)
+
+**Status (WIRED 2026-04-21):** `tests/multi-agent/kb.ts` holds all primitives. scenario.ts reads rec at start, indexes + recommends at end. Cold start gracefully writes a "low confidence, no history" rec so the second run has a floor to build on. `snapshotConfig()` wired to fire at every scenario start — active model set + tool_level + cloud flags hashed and appended to `config_snapshots.jsonl`.
+
+**Phase 22 item B — cloud rescue (WIRED):** When an event fails and cloud T3 is enabled, `requestCloudRemediation()` feeds the failure trace (SQL filters attempted, row counts, reviewer drift reasons, gap signals, contract terms) to cloud and parses a JSON remediation with new_city / new_state / new_role / new_count / rationale. Event retries once with the pivot. Verified 1/3 rescues succeeded on stress_01 (Gary IN → South Bend IN pivot filled a Welder that local drift-aborted). Sanitizer splits "City, ST" comma-packed outputs so downstream SQL doesn't get `Hammond, IN, IN`.
+
+### Phase 23: Staffer identity + competence-weighted retrieval (WIRED 2026-04-21)
+
+Answers "who handled this" as a first-class dimension of the matrix index. Senior staffers' playbooks rank higher than juniors' on similar scenarios via competence × similarity score. Auto-discovers "reliable performer" worker labels via cross-staffer endorsement overlap.
+
+**Schema (`scenario.ts` ScenarioSpec):**
+- `contract?: ContractTerms` — deadline, budget_per_hour_max, local_bonus_per_hour, local_bonus_radius_mi, fill_requirement. Propagates into T3 checkpoint + cloud rescue prompts so cloud reasons about trade-offs (pivot-within-radius before budget-pivot-further).
+- `staffer?: Staffer` — {id, name, tenure_months, role, tool_level}. tool_level controls subsystems available to this run:
+  - `full` — qwen3.5 + qwen3 local + cloud T3 + cloud rescue
+  - `local` — qwen3.5 + qwen3 local + local gpt-oss:20b T3 + rescue
+  - `basic` — **kimi-k2.5 cloud** exec + qwen3 local reviewer + local T3, no rescue
+  - `minimal` — kimi-k2.5 cloud exec + qwen3 local reviewer, NO T3, NO rescue — tests whether playbook inheritance carries knowledge alone
+
+**KB staffer indexing (`data/_kb/staffers.jsonl`):**
+- Recomputed per-staffer on every run: total_runs, fill_rate, avg_turns_per_event, avg_citations_per_run, rescue_rate, competence_score.
+- `competence_score = 0.45·fill_rate + 0.20·turn_efficiency + 0.20·citation_density + 0.15·rescue_rate`. Bounded 0..1.
+
+**Weighted neighbor retrieval:**
+- `findNeighbors` in `kb.ts` returns `weighted_score = cosine × max_staffer_competence` (floor 0.3). Senior playbooks rank above junior playbooks on similar scenarios.
+- `pathway_recommendations` include `best_staffer_id` / `best_staffer_competence` so cloud knows WHOSE playbook it's synthesizing from.
+
+**Cross-staffer auto-discovery:**
+- `scripts/kb_staffer_report.py` emits leaderboard + workers endorsed across ≥2 staffers on same signature.
+- Validated output: Rachel D. Lewis (Welder Nashville) endorsed 12× across 4 staffers; Christina Watson (Machine Op Indianapolis) 11×. These are the highest-confidence "reliable performer" labels the system produced without human tagging.
+
+**Demo infrastructure:**
+- `tests/multi-agent/gen_staffer_demo.ts` — 4 personas × 3 contracts = 12 scenario specs.
+- `scripts/run_staffer_demo.sh` — sequential batch with cloud T3.
+- `scripts/kb_staffer_report.py` — leaderboard + top/bottom differential + cross-staffer overlap.
+
+### Phase 24: Observer / Autotune integration (SHIPPED 2026-04-20, commit b95dd86)
+
+The gap: `lakehouse-observer.service` wrapped MCP :3700, while `tests/multi-agent/scenario.ts` hit gateway :3100 directly. Observer idle at 0 ops across 3600+ cycles — scenarios invisible to ERROR_ANALYZER and PLAYBOOK_BUILDER, autotune running blind to outcomes.
+
+**What shipped:**
+- `observer.ts` Bun HTTP listener on `OBSERVER_PORT` (default 3800): `GET /health`, `GET /stats` (totals, by_source, recent scenario digest), `POST /event` for scenario outcomes.
+- `ObservedOp` carries provenance — `source="scenario" | "mcp"` + `staffer_id` + `sig_hash` + `event_kind` + geo + rescue flags.
+- `recordExternalOp()` — shared ring-buffer insert; main analyzer + playbook builder no longer care where the op came from.
+- `persistOp()` fix: old path POSTed to `/ingest/file?name=observed_operations` which has REPLACE semantics (wiped prior ops); now uses append-friendly write-through.
+
+### Phase 25: Validity windows + playbook retirement (SHIPPED 2026-04-21, commit e0a843d)
+
+Zep 2026-era finding: temporal validity is the single highest-value memory-hygiene primitive. `PlaybookEntry` gained `schema_fingerprint` / `valid_until` / `retired_at` / `retirement_reason`. `compute_boost_for_filtered_with_role` skips retired + expired before geo/cosine ranking. Two retirement paths: `retire_one(id, reason)` for manual, `retire_on_schema_drift(city, state, fp, reason)` for batch migration sweep. Endpoint: `POST /vectors/playbook_memory/retire`.
+
+### Phase 26: Mem0 upsert + Letta geo hot cache (SHIPPED 2026-04-21, commit 640db8c)
+
+Same-day re-seed no longer duplicates rows. `/seed` with `append=true` routes through `upsert_entry` which decides ADD / UPDATE / NOOP on `(operation, day, city, state)`. Playbook_id stays stable on UPDATE so existing citations remain valid. `PlaybookMemory.geo_index: HashMap<(city, state), Vec<idx>>` rebuilt on every mutation; geo-filtered boost queries skip the scan and hit O(1) lookup — sub-ms at current scale, same code path scales to 100K+ entries.
+
+### Phase 27: Playbook versioning (SHIPPED 2026-04-21)
+
+`PlaybookEntry` gained `version: u32` (default 1), `parent_id`, `superseded_at`, `superseded_by` — all `#[serde(default)]` so pre-Phase-27 state loads as roots. `revise_entry(parent_id, new_entry)` appends a new version, stamps the parent superseded, rejects revising a retired or already-superseded parent. `history(id)` returns the root→tip chain from any node. Superseded entries excluded from boost (same rule as retired). Endpoints: `POST /vectors/playbook_memory/revise`, `GET /vectors/playbook_memory/history/{id}`. `/status` reports `superseded` as a distinct counter. 8 new tests; 51/51 vectord lib tests green.
+
+### Phase 28: Agent Gateway + MCP Server (SHIPPED 2026-04-21)
+
+The agent gateway wraps the Rust substrate with an MCP-first interface (Model Context Protocol), enabling Claude Code, GPT agents, and internal scripts to interact with the lakehouse through named tools rather than raw HTTP. Built on Bun (not Node), serving as the "front door" for all AI consumers.
+
+**Files:** `mcp-server/index.ts` (2241 lines)
+
+| Tool | Purpose | Endpoint |
+|---|---|---|
+| `search_workers` | Hybrid SQL+vector (the core) | `POST /vectors/hybrid` |
+| `query_sql` | Analytical SQL on any dataset | `POST /query/sql` |
+| `match_contract` | Find workers for a job order | `POST /match` |
+| `get_worker` | Single worker by ID | `POST /worker/:id` |
+| `rag_question` | Full RAG pipeline | `POST /vectors/rag` |
+| `log_success` | Record operation → playbook | `POST /log` |
+| `log_failure` | Record failed fill (negative signal) | `POST /log_failure` |
+| `get_playbooks` | Retrieve past successes | `GET /playbooks` |
+| `swap_profile` | Hot-swap model+data context | `POST /profile/:id` |
+| `vram_status` | GPU introspection | `GET /vram` |
+
+**HTTP Routes (internal agent consumption):**
+- `/search` — hybrid search with client blacklist + rate enrichment
+- `/verify` — claim verification against golden dataset
+- `/context` — self-orientation for agents
+- `/clients/:client/blacklist` — per-client worker exclusion
+- `/memory/query` — unified memory surface (Phase 24 refinement)
+- `/system/summary` — truthful row counts via SQL
+- `/models/matrix` — read `config/models.json`
+
+### Phase 29: Intelligence Suite (SHIPPED 2026-04-21)
+
+Market intelligence endpoints surfaced through the MCP server — real-world demand signals from public data, cross-referenced with worker bench for staffing gap analysis.
+
+**Files:** `mcp-server/index.ts` continued
+
+| Endpoint | Purpose | Data Source |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/intelligence/market` | Building permits → demand forecast | Chicago Socrata API |
+| `/intelligence/staffing_forecast` | 30-day demand by role | Chicago permits + bench |
+| `/intelligence/permit_contracts` | Permits + Phase 19 ranked candidates | Chicago permits + Workers 500K |
+| `/intelligence/activity` | Activity feed + learned patterns | successful_playbooks |
+| `/intelligence/brief` | Parallel analytics across 500K profiles | Workers 500K |
+| `/intelligence/chat` | Natural language → routed queries | Hybrid + RAG |
+
+**Market signals captured:**
+- Largest permits by cost (top 50)
+- Work type breakout (electrical, mechanical, masonry, plumbing)
+- Cross-reference with IL bench supply/available/reliable
+- Demand forecast using $150K/worker industry heuristic
+
+### Phase 30: Observer + Autotune Integration (SHIPPED 2026-04-20, commit b95dd86)
+
+The gap: `lakehouse-observer.service` wrapped MCP :3700, while `tests/multi-agent/scenario.ts` hit gateway :3100 directly. Observer idle at 0 ops across 3600+ cycles — scenarios invisible to ERROR_ANALYZER and PLAYBOOK_BUILDER, autotune running blind to outcomes.
+
+**Files:** `mcp-server/observer.ts` (335 lines)
+
+**What shipped:**
+- `observer.ts` Bun HTTP listener on `OBSERVER_PORT` (default 3800): `GET /health`, `GET /stats` (totals, by_source, recent scenario digest), `POST /event` for scenario outcomes.
+- `ObservedOp` carries provenance — `source="scenario" | "mcp"` + `staffer_id` + `sig_hash` + `event_kind` + geo + rescue flags.
+- `recordExternalOp()` — shared ring-buffer insert; main analyzer + playbook builder no longer care where the op came from.
+- `persistOp()` fix: old path POSTed to `/ingest/file?name=observed_operations` which has REPLACE semantics (wiped prior ops); now uses append-friendly write-through to `data/_observer/ops.jsonl`.
+
+**HTTP API:**
+- `GET /health` — ring size
+- `GET /stats` — totals, by_source, recent scenario ops, rescue stats
+- `POST /event` — record scenario outcomes with provenance
+
+### Phase 31: Scenario Orchestrator with Tiers (SHIPPED 2026-04-21)
+
+A day-in-the-life scenario test running six events against the live substrate. Exercises baseline_fill, recurring, expansion, emergency, misplacement. Routes through the same executor/reviewer loop as the single-task orchestrator with event-specific constraints.
+
+**Files:** `tests/multi-agent/scenario.ts` (1772 lines)
+
+**Model Matrix (configurable per-tier):**
+
+| Tier | Purpose | Model | Context Budget |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| T1 hot | 50-200 calls/scenario | qwen3.5:latest | 8K, think:false |
+| T2 review | 5-14 calls/event | qwen3:latest | 8K, think:false |
+| T3 overview | 1-3 calls/scenario | gpt-oss:120b | 32K, thinking on |
+| T4 strategic | 1-10 calls/day | gpt-oss:120b | 64K |
+| T5 gatekeeper | 1-5 calls/day | kimi-k2.6 | 128K, audit-logged |
+
+**Staffer tool_levels (Phase 23):**
+- `full` — qwen3.5 + qwen3 local + cloud T3 + cloud rescue
+- `local` — qwen3.5 + qwen3 local + local gpt-oss:20b T3 + rescue
+- `basic` — kimi-k2.5 cloud exec + qwen3 local reviewer, no rescue
+- `minimal` — kimi-k2.5 cloud exec + qwen3 local reviewer, NO T3, NO rescue
+
+**Key features:**
+- `generateContinuable()` — handles output overflow with continuation
+- `generateTreeSplit()` — handles input overflow via sharding
+- `think:false` flag — disables hidden reasoning for hot-path JSON emitters
+- Cloud executor routing — `ACTIVE_EXECUTOR_CLOUD` / `ACTIVE_REVIEWER_CLOUD` flags
+- Cloud rescue (Phase 22B) — `requestCloudRemediation()` on failure
+- KB integration at start (load recommendation) and end (index + recommend)
+
+### Phase 32: Knowledge Library + Staffer Indexing (SHIPPED 2026-04-21)
+
+Meta-layer over Phase 19 playbook_memory. Tracks which configs worked for which playbook signatures.
+
+**Files:** `tests/multi-agent/kb.ts` (600 lines)
+
+**Files under `data/_kb/`:**
+- `signatures.jsonl` — (sig_hash, embedding[], first_seen, last_seen, run_count)
+- `outcomes.jsonl` — per-run: {sig, run_id, models, ok/total, turns, citations}
+- `pathway_recommendations.jsonl` — AI-synthesized for next run
+- `error_corrections.jsonl` — detected fail→succeed pairs
+- `config_snapshots.jsonl` — history of model changes
+- `staffers.jsonl` — per-staffer competence scores
+
+**Staffer competence scoring:**
+```
+competence_score = 0.45·fill_rate + 0.20·turn_efficiency + 0.20·citation_density + 0.15·rescue_rate
+```
+
+**Weighted neighbor retrieval:**
+- `findNeighbors` returns `weighted_score = cosine × max_staffer_competence` (floor 0.3)
+- Senior playbooks rank above junior playbooks on similar scenarios
+
+### Phase 33: Validity Windows + Playbook Retirement (SHIPPED 2026-04-21)
+
+Zep 2026-era finding: temporal validity is the single highest-value memory-hygiene primitive.
+
+**What shipped:**
+- `PlaybookEntry` gained `schema_fingerprint` / `valid_until` / `retired_at` / `retirement_reason`
+- `compute_boost_for_filtered_with_role` skips retired + expired before geo/cosine ranking
+- Two retirement paths: `retire_one(id, reason)` manual, `retire_on_schema_drift(city, state, fp, reason)` batch
+- Endpoint: `POST /vectors/playbook_memory/retire`
+
+### Phase 34: Mem0 Upsert + Geo Hot Cache (SHIPPED 2026-04-21, commit 640db8c)
+
+Same-day re-seed no longer duplicates rows.
+
+**What shipped:**
+- `/seed` with `append=true` routes through `upsert_entry` — decides ADD / UPDATE / NOOP on `(operation, day, city, state)`
+- Playbook_id stays stable on UPDATE so existing citations remain valid
+- `PlaybookMemory.geo_index: HashMap<(city, state), Vec<idx>>` rebuilt on every mutation
+- O(1) geo-filtered boost queries — sub-MS at current scale
+
+### Phase 36: Gateway Seed Concurrency Fix (SHIPPED 2026-04-22)
+
+Problem: Concurrent `playbook_memory/seed` calls caused socket collisions with the Python AI sidecar. Two staffing coordinators hitting seed simultaneously → one socket error.
+
+Solution:
+- Added `embed_semaphore: Arc<Semaphore>` to `VectorState` (permits=1)
+- Seed endpoint acquires permit before embedding, releases after
+- Serializes embed calls to sidecar, eliminates collision
+
+E2E test result: 8.0/10 avg (persist=0 is expected — same day+op = NOOP, not add)
+
+### Phase 37: Hot-Swap Endpoint Hang (TODO)
+
+Problem: `POST /vectors/profile/{id}/activate` hangs for 2-4 minutes because it does heavy work synchronously:
+- Loads embeddings into memory
+- Builds HNSW indexes
+- Preloads Ollama model
+- Auto-provisions buckets
+
+Current workaround: Client uses 5-second timeout (test passes but doesn't verify hot-swap).
+
+**Required fix**: Convert to async job pattern:
+1. Endpoint accepts request, spawns background task, returns job_id immediately
+2. Client polls `GET /jobs/{job_id}` for status
+3. Progress events streamed via SSE during activation
+4. Background task updates job status on completion
+
+This is a known architectural debt item - not blocking since tests use timeout workaround.
+
+### Phase 35+: Further horizon
 
-- PDF OCR for scanned documents (Tesseract integration)
 - Specialized fine-tuned models per domain (staffing matcher, resume parser)
 - Video/audio transcript ingest + multimodal embeddings
+- Neural re-ranker over (query, candidate, outcome) triples — only if Phase 19's statistical feedback plateaus
 - True distributed query (DataFusion multi-node) — only if single-machine ceilings bite

+
+  <h3>Why "dual" — role specialization</h3>
+  <div class="narr">
+    <strong>The executor is an optimist.</strong> Its job is to produce progress: pull candidates, verify SQL, propose consensus. It's instructed to be decisive.
+    <br><br>
+    <strong>The reviewer is a pessimist.</strong> Its job is to catch drift: proposals that don't match the task's geography, fill count, or role. It's authorized to stop the loop.
+    <br><br>
+    This adversarial separation is cheaper and more deterministic than asking a single model to self-critique. The reviewer has a hard rule: on the turn after a <code>propose_done</code>, it MUST emit either <code>approve_done</code> or <code>drift</code> — it cannot stall with <code>continue</code>.
+  </div>
+
+  <h3>Why "parallel" — orchestrator can fan out</h3>
+  <div class="narr">
+    <strong>Independent pairs run concurrently.</strong> <code>tests/multi-agent/run_e2e_rated.ts</code> runs two task-specific agent pairs via <code>Promise.all</code>. Ollama serializes inference at the model level, so "parallel" is concurrent orchestration — but the substrate (gateway, queryd, vectord) handles concurrent requests cleanly. Verified in the scenario harness: two contracts sealing simultaneously.
+  </div>
+
+  <h3>Why "recursive" — each seal feeds the next</h3>
+  <div class="narr">
+    <strong>Consensus does not end at the sealed playbook.</strong> Every sealed playbook is persisted to <code>playbook_memory</code> via <code>POST /vectors/playbook_memory/seed</code>. The next hybrid search for a semantically similar operation consults that memory via <code>compute_boost_for(query_embedding, top_k, base_weight)</code> and re-ranks the candidate pool. The system builds on itself turn over turn, playbook over playbook.
+  </div>
+
+  <h3>Termination guarantees</h3>

+
+<div class="step"><div class="n">2</div><div class="body"><strong>Parse + normalize.</strong> CSV parser infers types per column; defaults to <code>String</code> on ambiguity (ADR-010 — better to ingest everything than reject on type mismatch). JSON parser flattens nested objects. PDF extractor uses <code>lopdf</code> first; falls back to Tesseract OCR for scanned/image PDFs. Output is always an Arrow <code>RecordBatch</code>.</div></div>
+
+<div class="step"><div class="n">3</div><div class="body"><strong>Auto-detect PII.</strong> <code>shared::pii</code> scans column values and names.

+<div class="chapter" id="ch3">
+<div class="num">Chapter 3</div>
+<h2>Measurement &amp; indexing</h2>
+<div class="lede">Once data is in, the system describes it rigorously and builds fast-access indexes over the parts that will be queried. Every measurement is deterministic, versioned, and visible via HTTP.</div>
+
+<h3>What gets measured per dataset</h3>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Row count</strong> (from parquet footer, not a SELECT COUNT). O(1).</li>
+<li><strong>Schema fingerprint</strong> — SHA-256 over (column_name, type, nullability, sort) tuples. Drives ADR-020 idempotent register.</li>
+<li><strong>Owner / sensitivity / freshness SLA</strong> — catalog v2 metadata. PII auto-detected; owner assigned on ingest.</li>
+<li><strong>Lineage</strong> — source_system → ingest_job → dataset. Who put this here, when, from what.</li>
+<li><strong>Last embedded at</strong> — when the vector index covering this dataset was last refreshed. Drives stale-detection.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>How vector indexes are built</h3>
+<p>Two backends, chosen per profile (ADR-019):</p>
+<table class="plain">
+<thead><tr><th></th><th>HNSW over Parquet (primary)</th><th>Lance (secondary)</th></tr></thead>
+<tbody>
+<tr><td>Storage</td><td>Embeddings as Parquet columns (<code>doc_id, chunk_text, vector</code>)</td><td>Lance native dataset</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Index</td><td>HNSW in RAM, serialized sidecar</td><td>IVF_PQ on disk</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Build time (100K × 768d)</td><td>~230s</td><td>~16s (14× faster)</td></tr>

+<tr><td>Append</td><td>Rewrite required</td><td>Structural (0.08s for 100 rows)</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Random fetch by doc_id</td><td>Full scan</td><td>~311μs (112× faster)</td></tr>
+<tr><td>RAM ceiling</td><td>~5M vectors</td><td>Scales past RAM — disk-resident</td></tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+
+<h3>Autotune</h3>
+<p>The <code>vectord::agent</code> background task runs continuously. Per index, it proposes HNSW configurations (<code>ef_construction × ef_search</code>), executes a trial against a stored eval set, journals the result as JSONL, and — if recall beats the min_recall gate (0.9) and latency wins the Pareto test — promotes the new config atomically via <code>promotion_registry</code>. No downtime. Rollback in milliseconds.</p>
+
+<h3>Per-profile / per-staffer indexing</h3>
+<p>Model profiles (Phase 17) are not routing strings — they are named scopes. Each profile has <code>bound_datasets[]</code>, <code>hnsw_config</code>, <code>vector_backend</code>, and <code>bucket</code>. When a staffer activates a profile:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>EmbeddingCache warms for bound indexes only</li>
+<li>HNSW is rebuilt with the profile's config (if different from current)</li>
+<li>Search via <code>POST /vectors/profile/&lt;id&gt;/search</code> rejects out-of-scope queries with 403 + list of allowed bindings</li>
+<li>Ollama swaps to the profile's model via <code>keep_alive=0</code>; only one model in VRAM at a time</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Model matrix (Phase 20)</h3>
+<p>Five tiers declared in <code>config/models.json</code>. Each call site picks the tier appropriate to its purpose — hot-path JSON emitters get fast local, overview/strategic/gatekeeper decisions get thinking models on cloud. Every tier carries <code>context_window</code>, <code>context_budget</code>, and <code>overflow_policy</code>.</p>
+<table class="plain">
+<thead><tr><th>Tier</th><th>Purpose</th><th>Primary model</th><th>Frequency</th></tr></thead>

+</tbody>
+</table>
+<p><strong>Key mechanical finding (2026-04-21):</strong> qwen3.5 and qwen3 are <em>thinking</em> models — they burn ~650 tokens of hidden reasoning before emitting the visible response. For hot-path JSON emitters this meant 400-token budgets returned empty strings. Fix: <code>think: false</code> plumbed through sidecar's <code>/generate</code> endpoint; hot path disables thinking (structure matters more than reasoning depth), overseer tiers keep it on. Mistral was dropped entirely after a 0/14 fill rate on complex scenarios (decoder-level malformed-JSON bug, not a prompt issue).</p>
+<p><strong>Continuation primitive (Phase 21):</strong> <code>generateContinuable()</code> handles output-overflow without <code>max_tokens</code> tourniquets — empty response → geometric backoff retry; truncated-JSON → continue with partial as scratchpad. <code>generateTreeSplit()</code> handles input-overflow via map-reduce with running scratchpad. Both respect <code>assertContextBudget()</code> so silent truncation can't happen.</p>
+
+<h3>Per-staffer tool_level (Phase 23)</h3>
+<p>Scenarios can be scoped to a specific coordinator (<code>staffer: {id, name, tenure_months, role, tool_level}</code>). <code>tool_level</code> controls which tiers are available:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>full</code> — T1/T2 local, T3 cloud, cloud rescue on failure</li>
+<li><code>local</code> — T1/T2/T3 all local (gpt-oss:20b as overseer)</li>
+<li><code>basic</code> — kimi-k2.5 cloud executor + local reviewer + local T3, no rescue</li>
+<li><code>minimal</code> — kimi-k2.5 cloud executor, no T3, no rescue. Playbook inheritance is the only signal.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Measured 2026-04-21 on a 36-run demo (4 staffers × 3 contracts × 3 rounds): James Park (mid, local tools) ranked first at 92.9% fill and 36.8 cites/run, Maria Chen (senior, full tools) second at 81.0%. Cloud T3 adds latency without measurable benefit on this workload. Alex Rivera (trainee, minimal) still hit 59.5% fill purely from playbook inheritance — proof the memory carries knowledge when the model is capable.</p>

+<div class="chapter" id="ch6">
+<div class="num">Chapter 6</div>
+<h2>How it gets better over time</h2>
+<div class="lede">Compounding learning across seven paths. The first three are automatic background loops. Paths 4-7 landed 2026-04-21 and turn the system into a reinforcement-learning pipeline: outcomes → knowledge base → pathway recommendations → cloud rescue → competence-weighted retrieval → observer analysis. All seven happen without operator intervention.</div>
+
+<h3>Path 1 — Playbook boost with geo + role prefilter (Phase 19 + refinement)</h3>
+<p>Every sealed fill is seeded to <code>playbook_memory</code>. The boost fires inside <code>/vectors/hybrid</code> when <code>use_playbook_memory: true</code>. Math, tightened 2026-04-21 after a diagnostic pass found globally-ranked playbooks were missing the SQL-filtered candidate pool entirely:</p>
+<pre>per_worker = cosine(query_emb, playbook_emb) × 0.5 × e^(-age/30) × 0.5^failures / n_workers
+boost[(city, state, name)] = min(Σ per_worker, 0.25)</pre>
+<p><strong>Multi-strategy retrieval (new):</strong> before cosine, <code>compute_boost_for_filtered_with_role(target_geo, target_role)</code> prefilters to same-city playbooks, then gives exact (role, city, state) matches similarity=1.0 and fills up to half the top-k. Cosine fills the rest. Mirrors 2026 Mem0/Zep guidance on parallel-strategy rerank.</p>
+<p><strong>Measured lift:</strong> before geo-filter, Nashville Welder query returned <code>boosts=170 matched=0</code> (zero intersection with candidate pool). After: <code>boosts=36 matched=11</code>. On the Riverfront Steel scenario, total playbook citations went from 2 → 28 per run — a 14× delta on identical inputs. The diagnostic log <code>playbook_boost: boosts=N sources=N parsed=N matched=N target_geo=? target_role=?</code> runs on every hybrid call so the class of silent-miss bug stays visible.</p>
+
+<h3>Path 2 — Pattern discovery (meta-index)</h3>
+<p><code>/vectors/playbook_memory/patterns</code> goes beyond "who was endorsed" to answer "what did past similar fills have in common?" Aggregates recurring certifications, skills, archetype, reliability distribution across the top-K semantically similar playbooks. Surfaces signal the operator didn't explicitly query for.</p>
+
+<h3>Path 3 — Autotune agent</h3>
+<p>The <code>vectord::agent</code> background task runs continuously. Watches the HNSW trial journal, proposes configs, executes trials, promotes Pareto winners — without human intervention. Operator sees "the index got faster overnight" and doesn't know why. The journal knows why.</p>
+
+<h3>Path 4 — Knowledge Base + pathway recommender (Phase 22)</h3>
+<p>Meta-layer over playbook_memory. Files under <code>data/_kb/</code>:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>signatures.jsonl</code> — sig_hash + embedding of every run's event shape</li>
+<li><code>outcomes.jsonl</code> — per-run summary (models, fill rate, turns, citations, rescue stats, staffer, elapsed)</li>
+<li><code>pathway_recommendations.jsonl</code> — AI-synthesized advice for the next run of a similar sig</li>
+<li><code>error_corrections.jsonl</code> — fail→succeed deltas on the same sig</li>
+<li><code>config_snapshots.jsonl</code> — hash of active models + tool_level at each run</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Cycle: scenario ends → <code>kb.indexRun()</code> appends outcome → <code>kb.recommendFor(nextSpec)</code> finds k-NN signatures, feeds outcome history to an overview model, writes structured JSON advice → next scenario reads it via <code>kb.loadRecommendation(spec)</code> and injects <code>pathway_notes</code> into the executor's context alongside prior T3 lessons.</p>
+
+<h3>Path 5 — Cloud rescue on failure (Phase 22 item B)</h3>
+<p>When an event fails (drift abort, JSON parse, pool exhaustion) and cloud T3 is enabled, <code>requestCloudRemediation()</code> feeds the full failure trace — SQL filters attempted, row counts, reviewer drift notes, gap signals, contract terms — to <code>gpt-oss:120b</code> on Ollama Cloud. Cloud returns structured <code>{retry, new_city, new_state, new_role, new_count, rationale}</code>. Event retries once with the pivot. Verified on stress_01: Gary IN (zero workers indexed) misplacement → cloud proposed South Bend IN → retry filled 1/1.</p>
+
+<h3>Path 6 — Staffer competence-weighted retrieval (Phase 23)</h3>
+<p>Answers "who handled this" as a first-class matrix-index dimension. Each scenario carries <code>staffer: {id, name, tenure_months, role, tool_level}</code>. After every run, <code>recomputeStafferStats(staffer_id)</code> aggregates their fill_rate, turn efficiency, citation density, rescue rate into a single <code>competence_score</code> (0.45·fill + 0.20·turn_eff + 0.20·cites + 0.15·rescue).</p>
+<p><code>findNeighbors</code> returns <code>weighted_score = cosine × max_staffer_competence</code> — top-performer playbooks rank above juniors' on similar scenarios. Auto-discovery emerges: running 4 staffers × 3 contracts × 3 rounds surfaced Rachel D. Lewis (Welder Nashville) with 18 endorsements across all 4 staffers, Angela U. Ward (Machine Op Indianapolis) with 19 — reliable-performer labels the system built without human tagging.</p>
+
+<h3>Path 7 — Observer outcome ingest (Phase 24)</h3>
+<p>Observer runs as <code>lakehouse-observer.service</code>, now with an HTTP listener on <code>:3800</code>. Scenarios POST per-event outcomes to <code>/event</code> with full provenance (staffer_id, sig_hash, event_kind, role, city, state, rescue flags). Observer's ERROR_ANALYZER and PLAYBOOK_BUILDER loops consume them alongside MCP-wrapped ops. Persistence switched from the old <code>/ingest/file</code> REPLACE path to an append-only <code>data/_observer/ops.jsonl</code> journal so the trace survives across restarts.</p>
+
+<h3>Input normalizer + unified memory query</h3>
+<p>Two surfaces added 2026-04-21 to make the memory stack respond coherently to any input shape:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>normalizeInput(raw)</code> — accepts structured JSON, natural language, or mixed. Three-tier: structured fast-path → regex (handles "need 3 welders in Nashville, TN" in 0ms without an LLM call) → qwen3 LLM fallback for low-signal inputs.</li>
+<li><code>POST /memory/query</code> — one endpoint, returns every memory surface in a single bundle: <code>playbook_workers</code> (with boost + citations), <code>pathway_recommendation</code> (KB), <code>neighbor_signatures</code> (competence-weighted), <code>prior_lessons</code> (T3 overseer history), <code>top_staffers</code> (leaderboard), <code>discovered_patterns</code> (auto-surfaced reliable workers for this role+city), <code>latency_ms</code> (per-source). Natural-language query end-to-end: 319ms.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Honest gaps — what we can still implement</h3>
+<p>Three of the five 2026-era memory findings remain unwired. Flagged for near-term implementation, not hidden:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Zep-style validity windows</strong> — playbook entries have timestamps but no <code>valid_until</code> or <code>schema_fingerprint</code>. Load-bearing: when a schema migration changes a column, stale playbooks silently keep boosting. Biggest-value remaining fix.</li>
+<li><strong>Mem0-style UPDATE / DELETE / NOOP ops</strong> — <code>/seed</code> only ADDs. Same (operation, date) pair appends a duplicate instead of refining an existing entry. Playbook file grows faster than necessary.</li>
+<li><strong>Letta working-memory hot cache</strong> — every query scans all 1560 playbook entries from disk. Cheap today at 1.5K, not at 100K. Solution: LRU in-process cache for the last N playbooks or the current sig's neighborhood.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Validity windows is next — preserves the trust signal (boost only fires on playbooks that are still true given the current schema) rather than the latency signal (which the current scale doesn't need yet).</p>

+<div class="chapter" id="ch7">
+<div class="num">Chapter 7</div>
+<h2>Scale story — 20 staffers, 300 contracts, a surge</h2>
+<div class="lede">What happens when the demo-level load becomes the production-level load, and midday a client pushes 20 more contracts plus a 1M-row ATS delta. Honest: some of this is architectural headroom, not measured scale. The designed behaviors are below.</div>
+
+<h3>20 concurrent staffers</h3>
+<p><strong>Axum is async.</strong> The gateway handles concurrent requests on Tokio with work-stealing. No per-request thread. Tested at 10 parallel queries in 82ms total on this hardware.</p>
+<p><strong>Per-staffer profile isolation.</strong> Each staffer activates their own profile (Phase 17) or workspace (Phase 8.5). Profile scopes their search to bound datasets. Workspace carries their in-progress contracts across sessions.</p>
+<p><strong>Per-client blacklists.</strong> Auto-applied when the caller passes <code>client: "X"</code> on <code>/search</code>. Staffer A filling for Acme never sees Acme's flagged workers. Staffer B filling for MidState sees them normally.</p>
+
+<h3>300 active contracts</h3>
+<p><strong>SQL on <code>job_orders</code> is cheap.</strong> 300 rows is nothing — a scan is microseconds.</p>
+<p><strong>Workspace per contract.</strong> Each contract gets its own workspace with saved searches, shortlists, activity log. Zero-copy handoff between staffers (pointer swap, not data copy).</p>
+<p><strong>Forecast remains coherent.</strong> <code>/intelligence/staffing_forecast</code> aggregates 30-day permit data regardless of contract count. The bench supply query (<code>GROUP BY role</code> over workers_500k) is a single sub-second SQL.</p>
+
+<h3>Midday surge: +20 contracts, +1M profiles</h3>
+<p>The delta arrives at 12:30. Here's what happens in the following minutes:</p>
+<div class="step"><div class="n">1</div><div class="body"><strong>+20 contracts via /ingest/db or /ingest/file.</strong> Parsed, schema-checked, Parquet-written, catalog-registered. No queries blocked — register holds a write lock across the manifest write only.</div></div>
+<div class="step"><div class="n">2</div><div class="body"><strong>+1M worker profiles arrives as delta to workers_500k.</strong> Append-log pattern (ADR-018) means the new rows write to a fresh batch file — base Parquet is NOT rewritten. Queries against workers_500k immediately merge-on-read the new batches.</div></div>
+<div class="step"><div class="n">3</div><div class="body"><strong>Embeddings marked stale.</strong> The vector index for workers_500k_v1 now has 1M rows it hasn't seen. <code>mark_embeddings_stale</code> flips the flag.</div></div>
+<div class="step"><div class="n">4</div><div class="body"><strong>Incremental refresh fires.</strong> <code>POST /vectors/refresh/workers_500k</code> reads only the new rows (diff against existing embeddings), embeds them in batches of 64 via Ollama, writes delta embedding Parquet. Measured on threat_intel: 34 new rows in 970ms (6× faster than full re-embed).</div></div>
+<div class="step"><div class="n">5</div><div class="body"><strong>Search degrades gracefully.</strong> During the refresh, searches against workers_500k_v1 still work — they serve from the old embeddings. Brute-force cosine over new-rows-without-embeddings is allowed but costs more. HNSW rebuild happens after all embeds complete.</div></div>
+<div class="step"><div class="n">6</div><div class="body"><strong>Hot-swap promotion.</strong> When the new index is ready, <code>promotion_registry</code> atomically flips the active pointer. Next search hits the new config. Rollback stays available.</div></div>
+<div class="step"><div class="n">7</div><div class="body"><strong>Autotune re-enters the loop.</strong> The agent queue picks up a <code>DatasetAppended</code> trigger and schedules a fresh HNSW trial cycle against the expanded index.</div></div>
+
+<h3>Known pain points at this scale</h3>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Ollama inference is serial.</strong> Embedding 1M rows at ~50 chunks/sec through nomic-embed-text = ~6 hours. Acceptable for overnight refresh, not for "immediate." Mitigated by incremental refresh (only deltas).</li>
+<li><strong>RAM ceiling on HNSW.</strong> Around 5M vectors × 768d, HNSW stops fitting in 128GB comfortably. Mitigation: per-profile <code>vector_backend: lance</code> flip — disk-resident IVF_PQ scales past the RAM line (ADR-019).</li>
+<li><strong>VRAM ceiling for model variety.</strong> A4000 16GB holds 1-2 loaded models. Multi-model recruiter surfaces are a sequential swap, not parallel (Ollama <code>keep_alive=0</code>). Phase 17 profile activation unloads the prior model on swap.</li>
+<li><strong>playbook_memory growth.</strong> 1936 entries today. Phase 25 (2026-04-21) added retirement via <code>valid_until</code> + <code>schema_fingerprint</code> fields + <code>POST /vectors/playbook_memory/retire</code> endpoint (manual or schema-drift triggered). Active vs retired split surfaced on <code>GET /vectors/playbook_memory/status</code>. Brute-force cosine still sub-ms at current size; Letta-style working-memory hot cache deferred until entry count crosses ~100K.</li>

+<!-- ═══ 9. PER-STAFFER CONTEXT ═══ -->
+<div class="chapter" id="ch9">
+<div class="num">Chapter 9</div>
+<h2>Per-staffer context</h2>
+<div class="lede">Twenty staffers don't see the same UI state. Each one's session is shaped by their active profile, their workspaces, their assigned contracts, and their client's blacklists.</div>
+
+<h3>Active profile (Phase 17)</h3>
+<p>Scopes every search. A <code>staffing-recruiter</code> profile bound to <code>workers_500k</code> sees only that dataset. A <code>security-analyst</code> profile bound to <code>threat_intel</code> cannot see worker data. <code>GET /vectors/profile/&lt;id&gt;/audit</code> records every tool invocation by model identity.</p>
+
+<h3>Workspace (Phase 8.5)</h3>
+<p>Per-contract state. Each workspace has daily/weekly/monthly tiers, saved searches, shortlists, activity logs. Survives across sessions. Instant zero-copy handoff between staffers — pointer swap, not data copy. Persisted to object storage, rebuilt on startup.</p>
+
+<h3>Client blacklist</h3>
+<p>Per-client worker exclusion. Populated via <code>POST /clients/:client/blacklist</code>. Auto-applied when the caller passes <code>client: "X"</code> on <code>/search</code>. JSON-backed; would move to catalog table under real client load.</p>
+
+<h3>Audit trail</h3>
+<p>Phase 12 tool registry logs every governed-action invocation (who called what, with what args, when, outcome). <code>GET /tools/audit</code> queryable. Phase 13 access control layers on top — role-based field masking, query audit log.</p>
+
+<h3>Daily summary per staffer</h3>
+<p>Workspace activity log + per-staffer filter on the event journal gives <strong>"what did Sarah do today"</strong> as a direct query. The foundation for shift-handoff reports.</p>
+
+<h3>Staffer identity + competence-weighted retrieval (Phase 23)</h3>
+<p>Each scenario run carries an explicit <code>staffer: {id, name, tenure_months, role, tool_level}</code>. The KB aggregates per-staffer stats (<code>data/_kb/staffers.jsonl</code>) that roll up into a single <code>competence_score</code>:</p>
+<pre>competence_score = 0.45·fill_rate + 0.20·turn_efficiency + 0.20·citation_density + 0.15·rescue_rate</pre>
+<p>When any query runs <code>kb.findNeighbors(spec, k)</code>, the ranking isn't just cosine similarity — it's <code>weighted_score = cosine × max_staffer_competence</code> over the best coordinator who ran that signature. Senior staffers' playbooks surface above juniors' on similar scenarios, even when the juniors' scenario was marginally closer in embedding space.</p>
+<p>The <code>tool_level</code> knob (full / local / basic / minimal) controls which tiers are available to a given staffer's runs. See Ch 3 for the mapping. Variance is real and measurable: 36-run demo produced a 46pt fill-rate delta between James (local tools, 93%) and Alex (minimal tools, 60%) on identical contracts.</p>
+
+<h3>Auto-discovered reliable-performer labels</h3>
+<p>A second-order output of the competence path: when multiple staffers independently endorse the same worker on similar-signature playbooks, that worker accumulates cross-staffer endorsements. <code>scripts/kb_staffer_report.py</code> surfaces them — after 36 runs, Rachel D. Lewis (Welder Nashville) had 18 endorsements across 4 staffers, Angela U. Ward (Machine Op Indianapolis) 19. These are high-confidence "reliable" labels the system produced without human tagging. The UI could badge these workers on future queries; today they're visible via <code>/memory/query</code>'s <code>discovered_patterns</code> bundle.</p>

+<!-- ═══ 11. LIMITS & NON-GOALS ═══ -->
+<div class="chapter" id="ch11">
+<div class="num">Chapter 11</div>
+<h2>Known limits &amp; non-goals</h2>
+<div class="lede">Honesty is a feature. Everything below is either deferred or explicitly out of scope.</div>
+
+<h4>Deferred — real architectural work, just not shipped yet</h4>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Rate / margin awareness.</strong> Worker pay expectations vs contract bill rate not modeled. Requires adding <code>pay_rate</code> to workers, <code>bill_rate</code> to contracts, and a filter + warning path. Partially addressed via <code>ContractTerms.budget_per_hour_max</code> passed to T3/rescue prompts, but the match-time filter isn't wired yet.</li>
+<li><strong>Mem0-style UPDATE / DELETE / NOOP operations on playbooks.</strong> Today <code>/seed</code> only ADDs. Same <code>(operation, date)</code> pair appends a duplicate instead of refining an existing entry. Phase 26 item — cheap to add, moderate payoff.</li>
+<li><strong>Letta working-memory hot cache.</strong> Every boost query scans all active playbook entries from in-memory state. 1.9K today; cheap. Will bite somewhere north of 100K. LRU for the last-N playbooks or current-sig neighborhood deferred until that ceiling approaches.</li>
+<li><strong>Chunking cache (Phase 21 Rust port).</strong> TS primitives <code>generateContinuable</code> + <code>generateTreeSplit</code> are wired, but <code>crates/aibridge/src/{continuation.rs, tree_split.rs}</code> + <code>crates/storaged/src/chunk_cache.rs</code> remain queued. Gateway-side callers currently don't have the same protection against silent truncation that the TS test harness does.</li>
+<li><strong>Confidence calibration.</strong> Top-K is a rank, not a probability. No calibrated "85% likely to accept" score. Requires outcome-labeled training data.</li>
+<li><strong>Neural re-ranker.</strong> Phase 19 is statistical + semantic (now with geo + role prefilter, Phase 25 retirement). A (query, candidate, outcome)-trained re-ranker is deferred only if the statistical floor plateaus below usable recall — current 14× citation lift on identical inputs suggests it hasn't.</li>
+<li><strong>Observer → autotune feedback wire.</strong> Phase 24 streams scenario outcomes into <code>data/_observer/ops.jsonl</code>; autotune agent still runs on its own HNSW-trial schedule and hasn't subscribed to the outcome metric stream yet. Phase 26+ item — connects the last loop.</li>
+<li><strong>call_log cross-reference.</strong> Infrastructure present; current synthetic candidates table is too small to cross-ref. Fixes when real ATS lands.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>Non-goals — explicitly out of scope</h4>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Cloud deployment.</strong> Local-first by design. Works offline after setup.</li>
+<li><strong>Full ACID transactions.</strong> Single-writer model is sufficient; Delta Lake-grade MVCC is deliberately not attempted.</li>
+<li><strong>Real-time streaming / CDC.</strong> Batch ingest is the model. Scheduled refresh, not transactional replication.</li>
+<li><strong>Replacing the CRM.</strong> This is the analytical + AI layer <em>behind</em> the CRM. Operational CRUD stays with the existing system.</li>
+<li><strong>Custom file formats.</strong> Parquet for datasets, sidecar indexes for vectors. No proprietary formats (ADR-008, ADR-018 reaffirm).</li>
+<li><strong>Hard multi-tenant isolation.</strong> Profiles and federation provide soft isolation. Adversarial multi-tenant is not a goal — this system assumes a single-trust operator.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<div class="narr">
+<strong>Overall bet.</strong> The substrate is conservative: Parquet + DataFusion + HNSW + Ollama + object storage. Every layer is replaceable, open, auditable. The intelligence layer (playbook_memory, patterns, autotune) is statistical, not neural — cheaper, explainable, rebuildable from the journal alone. If the statistical floor plateaus below what a real client needs, Phase 20+ adds neural re-rank on top. We don't make that call until measurement demands it.

+# Lakehouse systemd units
+
+Service definitions for long-running Lakehouse sidecars that aren't the
+Rust gateway itself. The gateway has its own pre-existing unit
+(`lakehouse.service`) that was configured at initial deploy time and
+isn't tracked here.
+
+## Units
+
+| File | Service | Port | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `lakehouse-auditor.service` | `lakehouse-auditor` | n/a | Polls Gitea for open PRs, runs four checks (static / dynamic / inference / KB query), posts commit-status + review comment. Hard-blocks merges when claims aren't backed. |
+| `lakehouse-context7-bridge.service` | `lakehouse-context7-bridge` | `:3900` | HTTP wrapper around context7's public API for Phase 45 doc-drift detection. |
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+sudo bash ops/systemd/install.sh
+```
+
+Idempotent. Copies units to `/etc/systemd/system/`, reloads, enables + (re)starts both services.
+
+## Operate
+
+```bash
+# Status
+systemctl status lakehouse-auditor
+systemctl status lakehouse-context7-bridge
+
+# Live logs
+journalctl -u lakehouse-auditor -f
+
+# Restart
+systemctl restart lakehouse-auditor
+
+# Stop (won't restart until enable + start again)
+systemctl stop lakehouse-auditor
+```
+
+## Pause the auditor without stopping
+
+```bash
+touch /home/profit/lakehouse/auditor.paused   # skip cycles until removed
+rm    /home/profit/lakehouse/auditor.paused   # resume
+```
+
+## Env toggles on the auditor (edit the unit file, `systemctl daemon-reload`, restart)
+
+```
+LH_AUDITOR_RUN_DYNAMIC=1    # include the hybrid fixture on every audit
+                            # default off — fixture mutates live playbook state
+LH_AUDITOR_SKIP_INFERENCE=1 # skip cloud inference for fast/cheap runs
+```
+
+## Why both services run as root
+
+To match the existing `lakehouse.service` + `mcp-server` + `observer` conventions on this host. Hardening to a dedicated unprivileged user is a follow-up: would need PATH adjustment for `bun`, credential file accessibility (the auditor reads `/home/profit/.git-credentials` which is `0600 profit:profit` — root reads fine, a non-profit non-root user wouldn't).
