feat(process): the assistant runs a process the signed-in person may run, confirmed on a card; fix: four review findings

Process tools (package A4 of docs/actions-and-mcp.md), in tools/process:
list_processes, describe_process, run_process and get_run_status.

- The list and the description come from the person's own metadata, asked
  as them: a process they may not run is never listed or described, and is
  refused by name in the words used for a process that does not exist.
- run_process only proposes. Inputs are checked against the fields the
  process's screens declare before a card exists (unknown input, wrong
  type, missing required; no value is made up). The card (pending action
  kind process_run) shows the process, every input, the records and the
  steps that stop for the person.
- The confirmed run is the person's: it runs through the UI API with the
  confirming request's session, and a run whose records are no longer the
  ones the card counted does not start.
- A process eligible to run as a durable job is created as one and never
  started by the assistant; any other runs through its own init and step
  operations until it ends or needs the person (a review, a required field
  with no value), where going on takes a new card.
- A confirmed run never holds its pending action RUNNING: the action ends
  when the run was started, and get_run_status reports where it stands.
- What is never runnable through the assistant is decided in one place
  (ProcessRunnability): denied to the assistant channel, the assistant's
  own, data access not READ_WRITE, hidden, offered by no screen, on a table
  the assistant may not change, or with a screen it cannot present.

Review findings, by the guarantee each gives:
- A host notices each process that becomes runnable through the assistant:
  RunnableProcessReview fails the host's build when the runnable list
  differs from its committed file.
- An administrator is warned before the data-access migration opens a
  table they left read-only: UPGRADE.md has a query with the migration's
  own predicate, tested against the changeset.
- No tool says confirmation can be turned off (the cached request prefix
  changes once).
- No model is called without a spending limit in force: the routing
  classifier asks for its own model. The administrator's Test connection
  is the one documented exemption.

Also: a scheduled task is offered run_process only with its write
approval; a test that a confirmed update into a record-security key the
person lacks is refused by the application and changes nothing; UI API
extension assistant 1.10.0 (additive).

 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased - The assistant runs a process the signed-in person may run; four review findings closed
+
+Builds package A4 of the actions design (`docs/actions-and-mcp.md`, section 4), with four findings of an independent review, each described by the guarantee it gives. **One behaviour change needs a host's attention before deploying: processes become runnable through the assistant (see `UPGRADE.md`).**
+
+- **Process tools** (new package `tools/process`): `list_processes`, `describe_process`, `run_process`, `get_run_status`. The assistant runs a process the signed-in person may run themselves, as that person, after they confirmed the run on a card. The list and the description come from the person's own metadata, asked as them: a process they may not run is never listed or described, and is refused by name in the words used for a process that does not exist.
+- **A run is only ever proposed.** `run_process` checks the inputs against the fields the process's screens declare (an unknown input, a value of the wrong type and a missing required input are refused before a card exists; no value is made up), counts the records as the person, and stores one pending action of the new kind `process_run`. The card shows the process, every input, the records (how many, of which table, which) and the steps that stop for the person. Nothing runs until the person confirms, and nothing switches that off.
+- **The confirmed run is the person's.** It runs through the UI API with the confirming request's session: a permission revoked after the proposal refuses the run with the application's own answer. Records are found again as the person when the run starts, and a run whose records are no longer the ones the card counted does not start.
+- **Two ways to run, by the process's own metadata.** A process the application reports as eligible runs as a durable job: the assistant creates it and never starts it (core creates a job from the `assistant` channel waiting for the person and refuses to start it from that channel; the assistant sends no expected row count, so core never starts it by itself either). Any other process runs through its own `init` and `step` operations until it ends or needs the person: at a review, or at a required field with no value, it stops, and going on is a new proposal with a card of its own.
+- **A long run holds no pending action open.** The action ends when the job is created or when the run ended, stopped, failed or was still working after the time the confirmation waits. `get_run_status` reports where a run stands and never moves one on.
+- **What is never runnable through the assistant**, in one place (`ProcessRunnability`): a process denied to the `assistant` channel, the assistant's own, one whose data access is not `READ_WRITE`, a hidden one (except a table's bulk edit and bulk delete), one no screen offers, one on a table the assistant may not change, and one with a screen the assistant cannot present.
+- **A result carries no record data**: the process's own summary lines, redacted like every tool result, and the application's own message for a refusal or failure.
+- **The default for processes is what the owner's rule says, and a host can see it** (review 1). `defaultProcessAccess` was already `READ_WRITE` and now has an effect: a process the person may run is runnable through the assistant, confirmed, minus the never-runnable list. `RunnableProcessReview.assertReviewed(qInstance, person, file)` lists the processes the assistant can run for a set of permissions and fails a host's build when the list differs from the host's committed file, so no process becomes runnable without a reviewed line.
+- **An administrator is warned before a read-only table opens** (review 2). `UPGRADE.md` now says, in bold, to run a query before upgrading: it has the predicate of the data-access migration and shows the rows that migration removes, so an administrator can keep a table read-only by editing its row first. A test runs the query from `UPGRADE.md` and the changeset against the same rows.
+- **No tool says confirmation can be turned off** (review 3). The descriptions of `create_record`, `update_record` and `delete_record` and the comment on `ToolKind.PROPOSE` no longer say "unless the administrator turned confirmation off". The cached request prefix changes once.
+- **No model is called without a spending limit in force** (review 4). The routing classifier now asks `BudgetService.limitInForce` for its own model before it is called. The administrator's Test connection is the one exemption, decided and documented with what bounds it (administrator only, a fixed prompt, no tools, 32 output tokens, a usage row).
+- **A scheduled task is offered `run_process` only with its write approval.**
+- Tests added: the process tools against the fixture's UI API (both ways to run, each stop, a screen that cannot be presented, a denied process, revoked permission, a failing process, a long run, stale records, no spending limit, an administrator's row), the reviewed list, the query of the upgrade notes, the classifier, the connection test, and a confirmed update that would move a record into a record-security key the person lacks (refused by the application, nothing changes).
+- UI API extension `assistant` 1.10.0 (additive): `AssistantActionV1.processName`, `processLabel`; `changes` for a `process_run`.
+- Not in this change: report and schedule tools (package A5); the panel's process card and its "start the job in the same click" (the panel's package); the possible values of a process input (the value is passed as given and the process validates it).
+
 ## Unreleased - Writes follow the signed-in person; no answer without a spending limit; a fourth review closed
 
 Builds package A2 of the actions design (`docs/actions-and-mcp.md`, sections 2 and 3): the assistant may propose any change the signed-in person may make themselves, by default, with the defaults declared in versioned code. It also closes five findings of an independent review of the tool boundary, each described by the guarantee it gives. **Two behaviour changes need an administrator's attention before deploying: see UPGRADE.md.**

Never answer either from the instance's metadata alone.
+  - What is never runnable through the assistant is decided in one place, `ProcessRunnability`, which the tools and the host's reviewed list share: denied to the `assistant` channel (`withDeniedClients`, `ClientChannelsMetaData`, core's patterns), the assistant's own, data access not `READ_WRITE`, hidden (except a table's bulk edit and bulk delete), offered by no screen (no app, no table), on a table the assistant may not change, or with a screen the assistant cannot present. It only narrows. A new component type is not drivable until somebody adds it on purpose.
+  - `run_process` only proposes: inputs are checked against the declared form fields before a card exists (unknown, wrong type, missing required), no value is ever invented, and the card shows the process, every input, the records and the stops. The confirmed run re-counts the records as the person and refuses when the count is not the card's.
+  - The assistant creates a durable job and never starts one: it calls only the launch operation, sends no `expectedRows` (so core's assistant auto-start never applies), and calls no job control. Core refuses a start from the `assistant` channel; do not route around that (no other channel, no in-process call).
+  - A confirmed run never keeps its pending action RUNNING for the run's duration: the action ends when the job is created or the run ended, stopped, failed or outlasted the wait (`ProcessTools.setWaitMillis`). `get_run_status` reads and never steps a run. Going on with a stopped run is a new proposal and a new card, whose text about the run is what the server kept (the in-memory run, keyed by a reference only its person can use), never what the model passed.
+  - A run's result carries the process's summary lines (redacted) and the application's own message, never process values or records.
+  - `RunnableProcessReview` is the host's build-time gate for the default (`defaultProcessAccess` is `READ_WRITE`): it evaluates `ProcessRunnability` with the code's data access (`DataAccessService.forProcessInCode` / `forTableInCode`, no administrator's row). Keep it free of a server and a database.

+### What the assistant may do with a process
+
+The assistant may run a process the signed-in person may run themselves, after that person confirmed the run on a card. That is the default, declared in code (`withDefaultProcessAccess`, `READ_WRITE`); it grants nothing, and nothing in the database can widen it.
+
+| Tool | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `list_processes` | The processes this person may run through the assistant, from the person's own metadata (`GET /metaData`, asked as them). |
+| `describe_process` | One of them: its inputs as its screens declare them (name, label, type, required), the records it needs, where it stops for the person. |
+| `run_process` | Proposes a run. It checks the inputs against the declared fields first (an unknown input, a wrong type and a missing required input are refused before a card exists; a value is never made up), counts the records as the person, and stores one pending action (`actionKind` `process_run`). The card shows the process, every input, the records (how many, of which table, which) and the steps that stop for the person. Nothing runs until the person confirms. |
+| `get_run_status` | Where a run stands (a run still working or stopped, or a background job). It reads; it never moves a run on. |
+
+The four are offered to a person only when they may run at least one process through the assistant. A person is never told about a process they may not run: it is not listed, and by name it is refused in the same words as a process that does not exist.
+
+**Never runnable through the assistant**, whoever asks and whatever a setting says (`tools.process.ProcessRunnability`):
+
+1. a process denied to the `assistant` client channel: by its author (`QPermissionRules.withDeniedClients(Set.of("assistant"))` on the process), by the application (`ClientChannelsMetaData`, by name or pattern) or by core's default patterns. Core refuses every operation on it beneath the assistant as well;
+2. the assistant's own processes (a pin in code that nothing lifts), and any process whose data access is not `READ_WRITE`: `withProcessAccess(name, DataAccessMode.NONE)` or `withDefaultProcessAccess(DataAccessMode.NONE)` in code, or an administrator's row;
+3. a hidden process, except a table's own bulk edit and bulk delete (the record list offers those);
+4. a process no screen offers (in no app, and no table's action): an operation the application's screens call for themselves;
+5. a process on a table the assistant may not change (data access `READ` or `NONE`, or a table kept from AI);
+6. a process with a screen the assistant cannot present: a file upload, a required password, a file download, a bulk-load mapping form, a folder picker, an embedded widget, custom content, or a component the assistant does not know. The person is told why, and where to run it themselves.
+
+**The confirmed run is the person's.** It is started through the UI API with the confirming request's session, so the application decides with the person's permissions as they are then (a permission revoked after the proposal refuses the run), and what it answers is what the person is told. Records are found again as the person when the run starts; a run whose records are no longer the ones the card counted does not start.
+
+- *A durable job*, when the application says the process may run as one (`durableJobEligible`): the confirmed run creates the job (`POST /processes/{processName}/jobs`). Core creates a job launched from the `assistant` channel waiting for the person and refuses to start it from that channel, so the assistant never starts a job: the person starts it on its job record, from their own session. The assistant sends no expected row count, so core's "small assistant jobs start by themselves" setting never applies to a job it created.
+- *Otherwise* the process's own `init` and `step` operations. The run goes on until it ends or reaches a step that needs the person: a review (nothing is stored yet), or a form with a required field that has no value. It stops there. Going on is a new proposal and a new card (`run_process` with the run's reference), whose text about the run is what the server kept, never what the model passed.
+
+A confirmed run never keeps its pending action `RUNNING`: the action ends when the job is created, or when the run ended, stopped, failed, or was still working after the time the confirmation waits (15 seconds). Where a run stands after that is asked with `get_run_status`. A run that stopped or is still working is kept in the memory of the server that started it, for an hour, under a reference only its person can use; a restart loses it, as it loses the run. Long work belongs in a durable job.
+
+What a result carries: the process's own summary lines (status, count, message), redacted like every tool result, and the application's own message for a refusal or a failure. Never the process's values, and never a record.
+
+**The reviewed list.** Because the default opens, a host commits the list of processes the assistant can run and asserts it in a test of its own, so a process that an application or an upgraded QBit adds does not become runnable without a reviewed line in version control:
+
+```java
+@Test
+void theProcessesTheAssistantCanRunAreReviewed() throws Exception
+{
+   // person: a session with the permissions of the roles to review, or null for a person who holds every permission
+   RunnableProcessReview.assertReviewed(qInstance, person, Path.of("src/test/resources/assistant-runnable-processes.txt"));
+}
+```
+
+The file has one process name per line (`#` comments and blank lines are ignored). The test fails, naming each process, when the list differs: accept the process by adding its line, or keep the assistant away from it (the ways in the list above). `RunnableProcessReview.runnableProcesses(qInstance, person)` returns the list and `render(list)` the file's text, for the first commit. The list is what versioned code allows; it needs the instance with the QBit produced, and no server or database.

 # Upgrading qbit-assistant
 
+## The assistant runs a process the signed-in person may run (Unreleased, UI API extension assistant 1.10.0)
+
+**After this upgrade the assistant can run, for a person who may run it themselves, every process that is not on the never-runnable list below, once that person confirmed the run on a card.** The setting that decides this, `AssistantQBitConfig.defaultProcessAccess`, has been `READ_WRITE` since the previous release; it had no effect until now, because there was no process tool. No DDL changes.
+
+### What a host should do before deploying
+
+1. **Review which processes become runnable, and commit the list.** Add a test to the application that calls `RunnableProcessReview.assertReviewed(qInstance, person, Path.of("src/test/resources/assistant-runnable-processes.txt"))` (see the README, "The reviewed list"). Its first run fails and prints every runnable process. For each: accept it (its line goes in the file) or keep the assistant away from it:
+   - a process of your own that a model should never drive (running SQL, restoring a backup, changing identity or permissions, acting on another person's work): `QPermissionRules.withDeniedClients(Set.of("assistant"))` on the process;
+   - a process of a QBit you do not own: `ClientChannelsMetaData` (by name or pattern), or `AssistantQBitConfig.withProcessAccess(name, DataAccessMode.NONE)`;
+   - everything, to stay as before: `AssistantQBitConfig.withDefaultProcessAccess(DataAccessMode.NONE)`, then `withProcessAccess(name, DataAccessMode.READ_WRITE)` for the ones to open.
+
+   From then on the test fails whenever a process becomes runnable that nobody reviewed.
+2. **Nothing to change for an administrator's rows.** A `PROCESS` row on Assistant > Data Access can only narrow: `NONE` (or `READ`) keeps the assistant from running that process. A `READ_WRITE` row opens nothing the code or the person's permissions do not.
+
+### What is never runnable through the assistant
+
+A process denied to the `assistant` channel; the assistant's own processes; a hidden process (except a table's own bulk edit and bulk delete); a process no screen offers (in no app and on no table); a process on a table the assistant may not change; a process with a screen the assistant cannot present (a file upload, a required password, a download, a bulk-load form, a folder picker, a widget, custom content). The README has the list with its reasons.
+
+### What a person sees
+
+The person asks; the assistant looks up the process and its inputs, asks for a required value it was not given (it never makes one up), and proposes the run. A card shows the process, every input, the records (how many, of which table) and the steps that will stop for the person. Nothing runs until they confirm. A process that may run as a durable job is created as a job that waits for the person: they start it on its job record (core does not let the assistant start a job). Any other process runs until it ends or needs the person: at a review, or at a required field with no value, it stops, and going on takes a second card.
+
+**A released panel** draws the card as a record change (heading from the summary, one line per input, the button of an update), because it knows only the three record tools; the run works. The process card proper is the panel's package.
+
+### Other changes in this release
+
+- **The write tools no longer say confirmation can be turned off.** The descriptions of `create_record`, `update_record` and `delete_record` ended "unless the administrator turned confirmation off". Tool descriptions are part of the cached request prefix: **the prefix changes once with this release** (one uncached request per conversation in flight), and again for a person who is offered the process tools.
+- **The routing classifier asks whether a spending limit is in force**, like every other model call. Without one it is not called and the heuristic chooses the route. Only a host whose limits are all scoped to single models or providers that do not include the classifier's notices a difference.
+- **Test connection stays available without a spending limit**, by decision, and is documented as the one exemption (README, "No answer without a spending limit").
+- **Scheduled tasks**: `run_process` is offered to a scheduled task only with its write approval, like the record write tools.
+- UI API extension `assistant` 1.10.0: `AssistantActionV1` gains `processName` and `processLabel`, and `changes` carries the card's lines for a `process_run`. No operation changed.

+
+- New: `tools.process.ProcessTools`, `ProcessToolFamily`, `ProcessRunnability`, `RunnableProcessReview`; `ActionKinds.PROCESS_RUN`; `DataAccessService.forProcessInCode` and `forTableInCode` (what versioned code alone allows, with no administrator's row).

 Refusals carry the operation's own message. A process the person may not run answers exactly as its
 screen does.
 
+### 4.5 As built (package A4), and where it differs from 4.1 to 4.4
+
+The package is built as `tools/process` in qbit-assistant. Where this section and the code disagree, the
+code is right; the differences, each with its reason:
+
+- **A process the person may not run is refused in the words used for a process that does not exist**, on
+  the two lookups (`describe_process`, `run_process`), not with the operation's own "permission denied".
+  The owner's rule is that a person is never told about a process they may not run. The operation's own
+  status and message are what a person is told when the confirmed run itself is refused.
+- **Two more processes are never runnable** than 4.2 lists: one that no screen offers (in no app, and no
+  table's action: for example the process the record screen calls to read a record's history), and one on
+  a table the assistant may not change (a table an administrator made read-only for the assistant is not
+  changed through its bulk edit).
+- **A download is not drivable.** 4.3 lists it; the assistant only ever emits links into the application
+  (`/app/...`), and a file link is not one. The person is told to run the process in the application.
+- **The link for a process the assistant cannot present** is the process's place in the application
+  (`/app/{processName}`), without records or values filled in: the panel's query parameters for that are
+  the panel package's to define.
+- **Path A sends no expected row count.** Core starts an assistant-launched job by itself when the host
+  set `assistantAutoStartMaxRows` and the launch names a row count under it. The assistant never sends
+  one, so every job it creates waits for the person, on every host.
+- **The review's second card is proposed, not created by the confirmation.** A confirmation runs outside
+  a turn and has nowhere to keep a new proposal. The run stops, its result (with a run reference) goes
+  into the conversation, and `run_process` with that reference proposes going on: a new card, whose text
+  about the run is what the server kept of it, never what the model passed. "Validate fully" is the same
+  proposal with `validateFully`. A required field with no value works the same way.
+- **`get_run_status` never moves a run on.** A run that finished a background step and could go on is
+  reported as waiting; going on is a proposal and a card.
+- **A run over records is refused at confirmation when the count changed** since the card: the records
+  are found again as the person when the run starts, and the card's count is what was approved.
+- **Possible values are not listed.** `describe_process` says that an input has possible values; the
+  value is passed as given and the process validates it. Listing them is left for the panel package or A5.
+- **The review-list helper takes a session, or none.** It lists what a person with that session's
+  permissions could run through the assistant, or, with no session, what a person with every permission
+  could (4.2's "fully permitted person"). It reads the code's data access only.

+ **
+ ** A process is never runnable through the assistant when any of these holds:

+ ** 2. its data access does not allow a run: the assistant's own processes
+ **    (pinned NONE in code, nothing raises it), a pin or a default in code
+ **    that is not READ_WRITE, or an administrator's row that narrowed it.
+ ** 3. it is hidden, unless it is a table's own bulk edit or bulk delete (the

+/*******************************************************************************
+ ** The reviewed list of processes the assistant can run, for a host's own
+ ** build.
+ **
+ ** By default a process the signed-in person may run can be run through the
+ ** assistant, once that person confirmed it on a card. A default that opens
+ ** needs a gate: a process an application adds, or one that arrives with an
+ ** upgraded QBit, would become runnable through the assistant without anybody
+ ** having decided so. This class is that gate. A host commits the list of
+ ** runnable processes as a file and asserts it in a test of its own:
+ **
+ **    RunnableProcessReview.assertReviewed(qInstance, session, Path.of("src/test/resources/assistant-runnable-processes.txt"));
+ **
+ ** The test fails when the list differs from the file, and says which
+ ** processes are new (or gone). Somebody then reads the difference and either
+ ** accepts the process (adds its line to the file) or keeps the assistant away
+ ** from it: QPermissionRules.withDeniedClients(Set.of("assistant")) on the
+ ** process, ClientChannelsMetaData for a process of somebody else's, or
+ ** AssistantQBitConfig.withProcessAccess(name, DataAccessMode.NONE). No
+ ** process becomes runnable by the assistant without a reviewed line in
+ ** version control.
+ **
+ ** The list is what versioned code allows: the same rules the tools apply
+ ** ({@link ProcessRunnability}), with the data access the code declares and no
+ ** administrator's row (a row can only narrow it, and a build has no
+ ** database). It needs the instance with the assistant QBit produced, and no
+ ** server.
+ **
+ ** For whom: pass the session of a person with the permissions of the roles
+ ** to review (as the host's own tests build one), and the list is what that
+ ** person could run through the assistant. Pass null and it is every process
+ ** anybody could: the list for a person who holds every permission, which is
+ ** the one to commit when in doubt.
+ **
+ ** The file has one process name per line, sorted; blank lines and lines that
+ ** start with # are ignored, so a line can carry the reason it was accepted.
