 # Changelog
 
-## 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.**
-
-- **Writes follow the person, with no settings row** (owner decision, 2026-11-12). The data access of a table or a process is declared in code: `AssistantQBitConfig.withDefaultTableAccess` and `withDefaultProcessAccess` (both `READ_WRITE` by default) and a pin per object, `withTableAccess(table, mode)` and `withProcessAccess(process, mode)`. `READ_WRITE` grants nothing: it lets the assistant propose what the person may do themselves, and every change still waits for that person's confirmation card. Before, a table was `READ` until an administrator stored a `READ_WRITE` row.
-- **An administrator's `assistant_data_access` row can only narrow.** `READ` makes a table read-only for the assistant, `NONE` hides it. A row never raises what the code says: not a code default of `READ`, not a pin, not a table whose metadata keeps it from AI. `DataAccessService.Decision.source` says what decided ("default", "pinned in code", "administrator setting", "sensitive table"), and the Data access card and every refusal show it.
-- **The assistant's own tables and processes are `NONE` by a pin in code that nothing lifts**: every `assistant_*` table (policy, providers, models, prices, budgets and overrides, data access, profiles, skills, knowledge sources, scheduled tasks, conversations, tool calls, pending actions, usage) and every process of the QBit, whoever asks, with a `READ_WRITE` row and a host pin on it. This is in addition to core's channel wall.
-- **The write tools are offered to a person who may change something.** `create_record`, `update_record` and `delete_record` (and the bulk-load save and run tools) are offered when the UI API says the person may create, edit or delete records of some table whose data access allows writes; `save_analysis` when they may save an analysis. The question is asked as the person, once per offer, within `toolCallTimeoutSeconds`; no answer means no write tool. `GET /config` `features.writes` is now that same answer for the person (it was "some table has a READ_WRITE row"). The person's permission for a particular change is still decided by the UI API when the confirmed change runs, with the screen's own status and message.
-- **Settings that cannot be read allow nothing.** When the administrator's rows cannot be read and none were ever read, every table is `NONE` until they can be (the fallback used to be the old default). Rows read earlier stay in force.
-- **"Add rows for every table" is retired** (`assistantDataAccessAddDefaults`, `DataAccessDefaultsProcess`), with its help. It wrote the old default out as rows, which would now read as restrictions. The shipped changeset `db/liquibase/qbit-assistant/assistant-data-access-follow-user.changelog.sql` removes the `READ` rows it wrote that nobody changed, and no other row. The Data access card on the Overview shows the effective mode and its source for every table without storing anything.
-- **No answer without a spending limit** (owner decision, 2026-11-12). The assistant refuses a person for whom no spending limit is in force: a turn is refused before anything is stored and before any model call (HTTP 429, code `BUDGET`, "The assistant is not answering because no spending limit is in force. An administrator must set or switch on a budget (Assistant > Budgets) before it can be used."); so are every later model call of a running answer, every tool call, every embedding request and a scheduled turn (whose run records the sentence). A limit is in force when a hard limit above zero is declared in the code configuration or on the policy row, or a budget row is switched on, has a limit above zero and applies to the person (`BudgetService.limitInForce`). A row that is switched off, a zero limit, a row for somebody else and a soft limit alone do not count. Restoring a limit restores service on the next request. A row whose limit is not above zero is no longer evaluated at all (it used to fail the evaluation).
-- **A pending action is never marked expired over its outcome** (review 1). Expiry is now one of the decisions an action can have: it goes through `AssistantStore.decidePendingAction` (a claim with the decision `EXPIRED`), like confirming and cancelling, so only an action that is still pending and unclaimed is expired. `ToolCallService.expiredIfDue` decides from the stored action and the runtime's clock, never from a copy read earlier. `AssistantStore.expirePendingAction(id)` is replaced by `expirePendingAction(userId, id, now)`, which answers whether it expired the action.
-- **No action stays RUNNING for ever** (review 2). The retention process first ends confirmed changes that were left `RUNNING` for more than an hour (the server stopped while one ran) as `FAILED`, with "Outcome unknown: this change was started and its end was never recorded. Check the record before asking for it again." and a tool-call log row; they are then removed, with what they kept of the record, like any other decided action once older than `approvalRetentionDays`. `AssistantRetentionStep.purge(runtime, now)` does both steps; the process reports `pendingActionsFailed`.
-- **A person is the session the authentication module resolved** (review 3). `SignedInPerson.ofSession(qInstance, session)` used to check the session's id and then keep the object it was given. It now makes the person from the session the module resolved: a permission added to a session by hand gives the person nothing, and a session kept from earlier does not keep a permission that has since been taken away. Only the time zone is carried over.
-- **The assistant's own reads go through the service** (review 4). `UiApiToolbox.Context.forRead(sessionUUID, timezone, gateway, policy, credentials, turnId)` is gone: there is no public way to make a tool context from a session id, a gateway and a policy. `ToolCallService.readContext(person, timeout)` makes the context of a read the assistant makes for itself (the starter prompts, the knowledge index), after checking the person, assistant access and the kill switch, with the policy it reads itself and the runtime's gateway. `Context.forRead(timeout)` and `forReadWhateverTheToolSwitches()` only derive a narrower context from one the service made. These reads have no tool-call log row, by decision: nothing of a starter-prompt read reaches a model, a knowledge hit is read again inside a `search_knowledge` call that has its row, and an index run reads every record of its source as the administrator who started it and has its process record. The UI API's access log names the assistant as the client for all of them.
-- **The published test-jar holds the fixture and the harness, nothing else** (review 5). It is built from `com/kingsrook/qbits/assistant/testing/**` only. The helpers this module's own tests use to reach behind the tool-call service (`RuntimeInternals`, `ToolCallServiceInternals`, `Toolboxes`) and the tests themselves are no longer published. The provider modules use `AssistantTestFixture`, `TurnRunner`, `GoldenTasks`, `PresentationGoldenTask`, `EvalSupport` and `CloudProviderTestServer`, all in that package, and are unchanged.
-- **The decision cannot be replaced by a subclass.** `AssistantStore.decidePendingAction`, `expirePendingAction` and `failAbandonedPendingAction` are final. The store itself stays open to subclassing, which this repository's tests use to make a read or a write fail.
-- New on `ToolCallService`: `offersAny(person, toolNames)`, `readContext`, `expiredIfDue`, `failAbandonedActions`. `ToolOffer` carries the credential of the person's request. `StarterPrompts.forUser(person, policy, ...)` is gone (the caller asks the service for the context); `BulkLoadToolFamily` no longer takes the data toolbox; `UiApiToolbox.definitions(policy, boolean)` is `definitions(policy, Set<String> writableTables)` and `UiApiToolbox.anyWritableTable()` is gone.
-- UI API extension `assistant`: no new operation and no changed field; the description of `features.writes` says what it now means.
-- Not in this change: any new tool (process, report and schedule tools are the next packages); the panel. The write tools' descriptions still end "unless the administrator turned confirmation off", which no longer can happen: they are part of the cached request prefix and are left for a change that touches it on purpose.
-- Tests: `DataAccessPrecedenceTest` (the precedence as a table, for tables and processes; the pin on the assistant's own objects; sensitive tables; unreadable settings), `WritesFollowThePersonTest` (the tool lists for a person who may and may not change a table, with no settings row; narrowing to read-only and to not at all; a row cannot widen past the person, a pin or the assistant's own tables; the screen's own refusal), `DataAccessFollowUserChangelogTest` (the changeset twice on a fresh schema, on written-out and hand-written rows, and without the table), `NoSpendingLimitTest` (each way a limit is not in force; restored on the next request; a limit removed during an answer), `PendingActionExpiryTest` (a list that read the action before it was confirmed; a confirmation and an expiry at once, twenty rounds; an action left running), `SignedInPersonTest` (a hand-made permission, a revoked permission), `AssistantOwnReadsTest`, `TestJarContentsTest`, and new rules in `ToolCallArchitectureTest`. `ToolCallChecksTest` passes unchanged. `ChatToolSetTest` passes with the definitions unchanged; see UPGRADE.md for the one line of its expected list that changed and why.
-- Test only: the random canaries of `TranscriptRedactionTest` and `ScheduledTasksTest` have no digits any more. The scan for a leaked canary looks for every five characters of it, and five digits in a row also turn up by chance in a stored timestamp's fraction of a second, which failed a build that leaked nothing.
-
-## Unreleased - One decision per pending action, a tool surface closed at compile time, cards with before and after
-
-Closes what a third independent review of the tool boundary found, and builds the pending-action package of the actions design on top (before and after values, kinds, a list, retention). Each fix is described by the guarantee it gives.
-
-- **A pending action is decided once.** Confirming and cancelling are one decision, made by inserting the action's row into the new table `assistant_pending_action_claim`, whose `pending_action_id` is unique: of any number of requests for one action, at the same moment or later, on one server or several, exactly one runs it (or cancels it) and every other is told it is already handled. The claim used to be an unconditional status update followed by a re-read, which let two simultaneous confirmations both run. Whatever fails after the claim (a status that cannot be written or read back, a tool that throws) ends in `FAILED` or `EXECUTED` with a tool-call row, never in an action left `RUNNING`. `ToolCallService.cancel(person, id)` is new; `POST /actions/{id}/reject` goes through it.
-- **A tool cannot be run around the tool-call service, by the compiler's word.** For code outside the assistant's packages: `ToolCallService.execute`, `log` and the new `withdraw` are package-private (the turn engine is their only caller); `ToolCallRequest`, `ConfirmedToolCall` and `UiApiToolbox.Context` are final classes without a public constructor, made only through factories that need the service's permit (`ToolCallService.Permit`, which only the service can create and never hands out; a factory called without it throws); `AssistantRuntime` no longer has public getters for the tool registry, the UI API gateway or its tool families, and `ToolCallService.getRegistry()` is gone. The runtime hands the registry and the gateway to the collaborators it builds. A host still registers its own family with `withToolFamily` and implements `AssistantTool` unchanged. New `ToolCallService.offers(person, toolName)`.
-- **A person is one person.** `SignedInPerson.ofSession(qInstance, session)` replaces `ofSession(session)`: the authentication module resolves the session's own id, as it will when the tools call the UI API with it, and the person is made only when that is the user the session names. A session put together with one user and another's id is refused. The turn engine no longer makes a person from a session. `new AssistantApi(runtime, session)` makes none until it needs one, and refuses (403) to start a turn, confirm, cancel or explain access for a session that fails the check.
-- **Only the credential the session was resolved from is forwarded.** `SignedInPerson.ofRequest` took every credential on the request; it now forwards the one session setup used (in its order: in-process token, `sessionId` cookie, `sessionUUID` cookie, `x-api-key`, `Authorization`).
-- **A call that was cut short leaves nothing to confirm.** When the turn engine does not take a call's own outcome (it ran out of time, was stopped, failed, or could not be processed), the user is shown no card; the service withdraws what the call proposed (`EXPIRED`, claimed) and refuses a proposal the call makes afterwards.
-- **The policy a call runs under is read fresh.** `execute` reads the policy row once per call, never from the cache; a tool switched off is refused on the next call. Without a row the code defaults apply, as the design says (a row only narrows). The README states what `policyCacheSeconds` still covers.
-- **The hard budget is read on every call with one aggregate query per budget.** `BudgetService` summed every usage row of the period in memory; `AssistantStore.sumUsage` now asks the database for the sums.
-- **The input kept in the tool-call log is redacted with `customRedactionPatterns` too.** It was redacted with the built-in patterns only.
-- **Cards show before and after; what was approved is what is written.** `update_record` and `delete_record` read the record as the user when they propose (a record the user cannot read gets the read's own refusal and no card). The card has `actionKind`, the record's label, and per field the value before and after (a delete: what the record holds), after the exposure rules of `get_record`. The proposal keeps a version of the record (a SHA-256 over the whole record as the user can read it, never the values). On confirmation the record is read again: changed, gone or unreadable means the change is refused and the record is left as it is. Stricter than the design, which compares only the fields being changed: a digest of a single field could be searched for its value, a digest of the whole record cannot.
-- **Kinds.** `assistant_pending_action.action_kind` and `tools.registry.ActionKinds`: `record_create`, `record_update`, `record_delete`; any other proposal's kind is its tool's name, so process runs, schedules and reports are added later without a schema change.
-- **A list.** `GET /assistant/actions?status=&conversationId=`: the user's own pending actions, newest first, expiry evaluated on read. UI API extension `assistant` 1.9.0; `AssistantActionV1` gains optional fields only.
-- **Retention.** `approvalRetentionDays` was declared, validated and documented, and never read. `assistantRetention` now deletes decided and lapsed pending actions older than it, with or without a conversation.
-- Schema: three columns and two indexes on `assistant_pending_action`, and the table `assistant_pending_action_claim`. See UPGRADE.md.
-- Not in this change, by the design's package list: the `channel` and `client_name` columns of a pending action (they arrive with the MCP proposals) and the panel's new card.
-- Tests: `PendingActionDecisionTest` (two confirmations held at the same point run the change once; confirm or cancel, never both; a failure after the claim; the policy read fresh; the budget read without a usage row; the redaction patterns), `CutShortProposalTest`, `PendingActionsTest` (before and after, hidden values, the changed record, the list, retention), `SignedInPersonTest`, and `HostToolFamilyTest`, which is compiled from a package outside the assistant's, runs a host's family through the service, and compiles each former way around the service to show the compiler refuses it. `ChatToolSetTest` and `ToolCallChecksTest` pass unchanged.
-
-## Unreleased - The tool-call service owns the policy, the identity and the confirmation
-
-Closes what an independent security review found after "The tool-call service makes its own checks". None of it was reachable through the chat, which built everything correctly; it is closed before a second caller (an MCP route) uses the service. The rule: every tool call runs as the signed-in person with their current permissions and budget, never as the assistant; a refusal happens before any data action; every call that ran has a log row with redacted input.
-
-- **Every change always shows a confirmation card, and nothing can switch that off** (owner decision, 2026-11-12). `PolicyService.ToolPolicy` no longer has `writesRequireConfirmation`, and `UiApiToolbox` always proposes a create, update or delete. Behaviour change for a host that had set **Writes require confirmation** to off on the policy row: writes now wait for the card like everywhere else. The `assistant_policy.writesRequireConfirmation` column and entity field stay in place and are no longer read (no migration; nothing for a host to apply); the field's help text says so.
-- **A caller cannot supply a policy** (review 1). The service reads the policy itself (`PolicyService.current(false).tools()`, narrowed for a scheduled task's conversation exactly as the chat narrows it) and builds the tool `Context` itself. A caller hands it a new `tools.registry.ToolCall` (person, call id, tool name, input) and nothing else. Before, a caller could pass `new ToolPolicy(false, Set.of(), 200, false)` and get every tool, 200 rows, no PII redaction and writes without confirmation.
-- **A session cannot be mixed with another person's credentials** (review 2). New `SignedInPerson` binds a session to the credentials the tools forward to the UI API. It has no public constructor: `SignedInPerson.ofRequest(Context)` takes the session the route's session setup resolved and the credentials of that same request (only `AssistantSpecs` may call it, ArchUnit), and `SignedInPerson.ofSession(session)` forwards nothing but that session's own id. `AssistantApi.withCredentials` and `TurnEngine.withCredentials` are gone (`new AssistantApi(runtime, person)`, `TurnEngine.withPerson`, which refuses a person of another session); `new AssistantApi(runtime, session)` is unchanged. The gateway in the tool context is always `runtime.getUiApiGateway()`.
-- **The hard budget is read on every call** (review 3). It was remembered for the life of a scope, and the scope was whatever object the caller passed. The check only reads (no budget event, no alert, the chat's warning notice stays with the model call that reports it). `executeAndLog(call, conversationId, hipaaRoute)` now makes the scope itself.
-- **A write runs only from its stored pending action** (review 4, 7). `ToolCallService.executeConfirmed(ConfirmedToolCall)`, `confirmationRefusal` and `logConfirmed` are replaced by one entry, `confirm(person, pendingActionId)`: the service loads the action for that person, checks expiry, status and that the proposing turn has finished, refuses while the kill switch is on or the policy no longer allows the tool (the action stays pending), claims it once, runs it, marks it and writes the log row itself. The caller chooses no table, record or values. Whatever fails after the claim (a tool that throws, stored values that are not JSON) ends in `FAILED` with a row; before, the action stayed `RUNNING` forever with no row. `AssistantApi.confirmAction` is a thin caller and the only one (ArchUnit). The route's answers are unchanged. The confirm route never re-read the record to compare it with the proposal, and still does not: the UI API decides with the record as it is at confirmation.
-- **The toolboxes cannot be called around the service** (review 5). `UiApiToolbox.execute`, `executeConfirmedWrite`, `executeConfirmedAnalysis`, `BulkLoadTools.execute` and `executeConfirmed`, `KnowledgeTool.execute` and `PresentResultsTool.execute` are package-private. `AssistantRuntime.getToolbox()`, `getKnowledgeTool()` and `getBulkLoadTools()` are gone; each family is handed its toolbox (`AssistantRuntime.ownToolFamilies()` is now an instance method). New ArchUnit rules: no class outside `tools..` calls into it except through the registry (allow-list: the runtime's wiring, the value types, `UiApiToolbox.notAWriteTool`, and the new `UiApiToolbox.read`); only the service constructs a `ToolCallRequest` or a `ConfirmedToolCall`; only `AssistantApi` calls `confirm`; only `RagService` and the knowledge tool call `RagService.read`.
-- New `UiApiToolbox.read(context, callId, toolName, input)`: the assistant's own reads (starter prompts, re-reading a knowledge hit). It runs `list_tables`, `describe_table`, `count_records` and `get_record` and refuses every other name, so it cannot propose or change anything. `StarterPrompts` and `RagService` use it; nothing else may (ArchUnit). `AssistantApi` reads "is any table writable" from the new `DataAccessService.anyWritableTable()`.
-- **A call that ran always has its row** (review 6). `TurnEngine.executeTools` writes each started call's row in a per-call `finally`. An interruption of the engine while calls run is passed on only after the rows are written (before, no row was written). A runtime exception while a result is classified, shown or logged (for example a tool's `inputForLog`) costs neither that row nor the later ones; the result is then withheld from the model. A call that was cut short gets up to one second, in all, to hand back what it did: when it finished after all, the row is of its real outcome, with the operation, status, audit link and pending action it left behind (before: "Timed out" and nothing else); the model and the panel are still told it took too long. `ToolCallService.log` no longer throws and returns whether the row was written; a row that cannot be written for a call that left something behind (a proposed write, an audited change, a confirmed write) is logged at ERROR, not WARN.
-- **The scope is checked, not believed** (review 8). Before a tool runs, the service checks that the conversation and the turn a scope names belong to the call's person (and the turn to that conversation); a call that names someone else's is refused (`assistant:request`) and its row does not carry them. The row's client channel is worked out by the service; `ToolCallScope.clientChannel()` is gone. `hipaaRoute` stays the caller's to say, because only the caller knows which model or client receives the result (javadoc of `ToolCallService` and `ToolCallScope.hipaaRoute`).
-- `AssistantQBitConfig.withToolFamily` throws `IllegalStateException` when it is called after the QBit was produced (review 9); it was silently ignored.
-- For a host or another QBit with its own `ToolFamily`: `AssistantTool.execute(ToolCallRequest)` and `executeConfirmed(ConfirmedToolCall)` are unchanged. A tool must not construct either record itself.
-- Stricter than before, in the chat: the policy a tool call runs under is the administrator's row as it is when the call starts, not the copy the turn read when it began (a tool switched off mid-turn is refused at once); a turn whose person goes over a hard budget while its tools run has the remaining calls refused (`assistant:budget`).
-- Tests: `ToolCallServiceTest` (one per review item, calling the service directly), new `ToolCallRowsTest` (rows of a call that ran and timed out, of a runtime exception while logging, of an interrupted engine; all three fail on the code before), `ToolCallArchitectureTest` (the rules above). `ChatToolSetTest` and `ToolCallChecksTest` pass with their expectations unchanged (`ChatToolSetTest` builds a `ToolPolicy` without the removed argument). `UiApiToolsSecurityTest.testWriteDeniedIsTheSameDenial` and `testDenialMatrix` ran writes with confirmation off; they now propose and confirm, and compare the confirmed write's status and message with the UI's.
-
-## Unreleased - The tool-call service makes its own checks, for any caller
-
-- `engine.ToolCallService` no longer trusts its caller for a check it can make itself. On every call, before the tool is reached, it checks that the request is whole (a session, a context made for that same session, a policy), that the person has assistant access, the kill switch (read fresh), the hard budget, and that the tool is offered to this person now under the request's policy. The chat's turn engine made these checks around the service; a caller with no chat turn would have skipped them. The service's javadoc lists what a caller still has to supply: rate limiting, how many calls a request may make and for how long, and classification.
-- `execute` refuses a tool that is not offered. Before, only the turn engine's own list of allowed tools did, so a direct call ran `navigate` or `search_help` although the policy had switched them off (the kernel tools have no policy check of their own).
-- A request without a policy is refused. `UiApiToolbox`, `KnowledgeTool` and `BulkLoadTools` treated a missing policy as "every tool is allowed"; they now refuse too.
-- One call cannot mix two people: a request whose context was made for another session than its own is refused, for a call and for a confirmation. `ConfirmedToolCall` carries the confirming session.
-- New `ToolCallService.executeAndLog`: runs the call and writes its `assistant_tool_call` row, redacting the input itself, for a refused call as for one that ran. The redaction and the row moved out of the turn engine (`TurnEngine.redactInput` is gone; what a presentation logs as its input is the tool's `inputForLog`). The turn engine still runs its calls in parallel under its own time limit and writes the rows in call order, so it uses the two halves of that path, `execute` and `log(request, outcome)`; an ArchUnit rule keeps every other class on `executeAndLog`. The chat's log rows are unchanged.
-- Confirming a pending action (`POST /actions/{id}/confirm`) is refused while the kill switch is on (503 `KILL_SWITCH`) and when the policy no longer allows the tool (403). Both are checked before the action is claimed, so it stays pending. Before, a pending write could be confirmed while the kill switch was on.
-- Tool families are registered explicitly. The classpath scan of `com.kingsrook.qbits.assistant.tools` is gone: any jar with a public `ToolFamily` under that package was registered and offered. The QBit's own families are the list `AssistantRuntime.ownToolFamilies()`; a host or another QBit registers one with the new `AssistantQBitConfig.withToolFamily(ToolFamily)` before the QBit is produced. The runtime logs the registered tool names once at startup (`Assistant tools registered`) and refuses to start on a duplicate name or when there is no tool. `ToolRegistry.discover` is replaced by `ToolRegistry.of(runtime, families)`.
-- The tool list is the same bytes in every JVM. `ToolRegistry.definitions` now sorts the keys of every object of an input schema. A schema built with `Map.of` (`search_knowledge`, part of the bulk-load profile schema) iterated in an order that differs between JVMs and the provider mappings serialise in iteration order, which defeated prompt caching across pods and restarts. The order of `required` and other lists is unchanged. Visible effect: properties are listed alphabetically in every tool's schema, and the cached request prefix changes once with this version.
-- Stricter than before, in the chat: a turn whose model call takes the person over a budget row's limit (`assistant_budget`, state STOPPED) now has the tool calls of that same response refused (`assistant:budget`) when they are the turn's first; before, they ran and the next model call stopped the turn. The policy's own hard limits already stopped the turn before its tools. Likewise a tool call that starts after the kill switch went on, and before the running turn's own poll noticed it, is refused (`assistant:killSwitch`) instead of run; the turn is cancelled either way.
-- New `BudgetService.stoppedReason(userId, active)`: whether a budget has stopped a person, read without storing a budget event or raising an alert.
-
-## Unreleased - One tool registry (no behaviour change); built against QQQ 4.1.0-RC.32
-
-- The assistant builds against QQQ 4.1.0-RC.32 (was RC.25), the version applications pin. Nothing had to change for it; the chat's tool list is byte for byte the same under both versions.
-- Every tool is now registered once, in `tools.registry.ToolRegistry`: its name, its kind (`READ`, `PROPOSE`, `DISPLAY`), the checks it runs, its definition (description and input schema) and how one call of it runs. The chat's tool list (`ContextBuilder.tools`), a tool call of a turn and a confirmed write (`POST /actions/{id}/confirm`) all look a tool up there; none of them chooses a tool family any more.
-- "Run one tool call for this person under this policy, and log it" moved out of the turn engine into `engine.ToolCallService`, which the confirm route uses too: the refusal of a tool that is not offered, the call itself (with the person's own session), and the `assistant_tool_call` row.
-- Nothing a person, a model or an administrator sees changed: the same tools are offered in the same order with the same definitions, a call goes through the same checks in the same order, refusals read the same and the same log rows are written. `ChatToolSetTest` holds the tool list of the code before this change and compares it; `ToolCallChecksTest` passes unchanged on the code before and after.
-- A tool family is a class under `com.kingsrook.qbits.assistant.tools` that implements `ToolFamily` and has a public no-argument constructor. It is found when the runtime starts; no existing class has to name it. The runtime refuses to start if no family is found or two tools share a name.
-- `UiApiToolbox`, `AnalysisTools`, `BulkLoadTools`, `KnowledgeTool`, `PresentResultsTool` and the core kernel keep all of their behaviour; `UiApiToolFamily`, `BulkLoadToolFamily`, `KnowledgeToolFamily`, `PresentResultsToolFamily` and `engine.KernelToolFamily` register their tools. `ContextBuilder` is constructed with the registry (`withKnowledgeTool` and `withBulkLoadTools` are gone).
-
-## Unreleased - The assistant works for people who do not administer it on a host that enforces table permissions in core actions; a person's own budget (UI API extension 1.8.0)
-
-- Fixed: on a host with `QInstance.enforcePermissionsInCoreActions` on, a person with `assistant.hasAccess` and without `assistant.admin` was refused before any model call ("Not authorized to access the assistant admin data."). The assistant read its settings (policy, providers, models, prices, budgets, data access) and wrote that person's messages, tool calls and usage through tables whose permission rule is `assistant.admin`, with the person's session. `AssistantStore` now marks every one of its calls as the assistant's own service code (`withPermissionBypass`), the way qbit-collaboration and qbit-backups do.
-- What that does not change: the session is still the person's, so writes are attributed to them and the owner record locks keep every other person's conversations, messages, pending actions and usage out (core does not relax record locks for a bypass). The tables' permission rules are unchanged, so the tables stay closed to that person in the UI, the UI API and the assistant's tools. Every operation of the assistant API still requires assistant access first.
-- A person sees their own spending against their own limit and nobody else's. `GET /config` has `budgets` (UI API extension assistant 1.8.0): the budgets scoped to that user or to a permission that user holds, with used, limit, percent, state and when the count starts again. Budgets shared by several people (INSTANCE, PROVIDER, MODEL) are not listed. The same lines ride beside the person's question (`<assistant_budget>`), so "how much of my budget have I used?" has an answer. `BudgetService.own` and `ownLine` are public.
-- New `CoreEnforcementTest` (fixture instance with core enforcement on): a non-administrator's question with a tool call completes and is accounted to them; the settings tables refuse that person and the assistant's tools do not reach them; one person cannot read another's conversation, messages or model calls, through the API or the store; own budget in `/config` and beside the question; a person at their own daily limit is refused with the sentence while another person is answered. Without the store change every one of them fails at the first store read.
-
-## Unreleased - Save and schedule an analysis with one confirmation; confirmed actions reach the conversation; ask before guessing
-
-- New tool `save_analysis`: keeps an `analyze_records` question as a saved analysis the user owns (`data_analysis_saved`) and, when the user asked for it to be sent regularly, a daily schedule emailed to them (`data_analysis_schedule`: DAILY, a local time, an IANA time zone, the confirming user as the recipient). It only ever proposes: ONE pending-action card lists the saved analysis, what it shows, the filter, the schedule, who is emailed and the numbers as they are now. Nothing is created until the user confirms, whatever the policy says about confirming record writes. On confirmation both records are created through the tables' own insert operations with the confirming user's session, so their permissions, owner locks and validation decide.
-- It is offered only where the data-analysis extension is registered and an administrator set data access READ_WRITE on `data_analysis_saved`; a schedule also needs READ_WRITE on `data_analysis_schedule`. The user's own permission to create the records is read from `GET /metaData` before a card is shown.
-- A schedule that could never run is refused when it is proposed (and again at confirmation), with what is missing, instead of failing silently at 9am. The assistant reads the instance (a schedule table; a scheduler on `data_analysis_run_schedules`) and asks the host through the new `AssistantQBitConfig.withScheduledDeliveryCheck(Supplier<List<String>>)` for what only the host knows (a service identity and its credentials, mail delivery). The supplier returns what is missing in words a user can read; a check that throws counts as missing. The model is told to offer saving without the schedule.
-- A decided action now reaches the conversation. Confirming a pending action (any tool) adds a message of the assistant to the conversation: "Done. ..." (or "That did not work. ...") with links to the records, which the panel shows and the model reads as history. Earlier proposals also carry what became of them in the next request: confirmed and done, confirmed and failed, cancelled by the user, or expired. Before this the model only ever saw "waiting for confirmation", so work after a confirmation stalled.
-- New rule for every model (rule 14): when a request can reasonably mean more than one thing and the choice changes the result (which table, which field, a clock time with no time zone), ask ONE short question naming the options found, then wait; never ask about what a tool can tell; never propose a change while such a question is open. The user's time zone, when the browser sent it, is now stated in the per-user context so "9am" needs no question. New golden task `clarify-ambiguous-field` (scripted in every build; the same check runs against a real model in the live evals).
-
-## Unreleased - Grouped questions (analyze_records)
-
-- New read tool `analyze_records`: group a table by one or two fields (optionally a date field by year, quarter, month, week, day or hour) and compute one number per group: a count, or a sum, average, minimum, maximum or distinct count of a field, with the same filter the other tools take (relative dates included). "How many documents were printed in the last day, by format?" is one tool call, and the groups carry links that open their records.
-- It is one call of the data-analysis qbit's pivot operation (`POST /qbit/data-analysis/tables/{table}/pivot`, UI API extension `data-analysis`), made through the same gateway with the user's own session, so table read, the table's analyze permission, field access and record locks decide exactly as on the Analyses screens; a refusal reaches the model with the same status and message. The assistant only narrows it: the table's data access must allow reads, group-by, measure and filter fields must be fields whose values the assistant may see, and the policy's row cap bounds the groups returned.
-- The tool is offered only where the `data-analysis` extension is registered. The assistant gets no dependency on that qbit (test scope only). Relative dates in an analysis filter need qbit-data-analysis 0.3.0-RC.2 or later (earlier versions answer HTTP 500 for them).
-
-## Unreleased - A turn always ends
-
-- Fixed an answer that stayed on "Thinking..." forever (seen after the tool steps had finished) when the host database stopped answering, for example a connection pool with every connection checked out. The watchdog's heartbeat did its database read and write while holding the engine's monitor and before it checked the deadline, so one blocked heartbeat stopped the deadline from ever firing and stopped `finish` from running. The deadline is now checked first on every tick without touching the database; the heartbeat, cancel poll and kill-switch poll run on a separate bounded worker that is reported (WARN), interrupted and abandoned if it does not return within two heartbeat intervals; and the engine's monitor is no longer held across database I/O in the heartbeat or while waiting to finalize.
-- A finalize guard ends the live stream with an `error` event and `message.end` if the terminal save has not completed within `turnForceFinalizeGraceSeconds`, so the panel never waits on the database to be told the answer failed. The terminal row is left for lease recovery.
-- New INFO log lines for every phase: `Assistant turn started`, `Assistant model call started` / `finished`, `Assistant tool call started` / `finished`, `Assistant turn finalizing`, `Assistant turn finished` (no message content). WARN lines when the deadline passes, when the watchdog finalizes a turn, when a heartbeat does not return, and when the guard ends a stream.
-
-## Unreleased - Answer visible at the end of the stream
-
-- The turn's redacted transcript (the question and answer parts, pending actions, stored events) is now written before `message.end` is sent. The panel reloads the conversation the moment the stream ends, and used to read the empty placeholders (`[]`) the transcript redactor stores until its flush, so the newest question and answer showed as empty bubbles until the panel was closed and reopened.
-
-## Unreleased - Clear reason without a model provider (UI API extension 1.7.0)
-
-- `GET /config` checks the server-wide causes before the user's permission: `DISABLED`, then `NOT_CONFIGURED` (no usable model provider), then `NO_PERMISSION`, then `KILL_SWITCH`. A server with no provider no longer tells users to ask for access (#82).
-- UI API extension assistant 1.7.0: `GET /config` has `message` whenever `reason` is set: a sentence for the user. For `NOT_CONFIGURED` it says what an administrator configures (an enabled row on **Assistant > Providers**, for example Anthropic with `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` set in the server environment, or a local OpenAI-compatible server such as Ollama).
-- Without a usable provider, calls from a user who also lacks `assistant.hasAccess` answer `503 NOT_CONFIGURED` with that message instead of `403 NO_PERMISSION`; users with access keep their conversations, and a new question answers `503 NOT_CONFIGURED`.
-- Verified the OpenAI-compatible adapter (kind `OLLAMA`) live against a local Ollama `llama3.3:70b-instruct-q4_K_M`, including a tool call (`LiveOpenAiCompatibleTest`).
-
-## Unreleased - Conversation management (UI API extension 1.6.0)
-
-- `assistant_conversation` is open to every assistant user (`assistant.hasAccess` or `assistant.admin`, through the new `AssistantAccessPermissionChecker`) in the standard table UI. Rows stay locked to their owner by the `userId` record lock, so a user only ever sees, updates and deletes their own conversations; admins with the all-access key still see everyone's. The Assistant app (its nav) and every other assistant table stay admin-only.
-- Users change only a conversation's title, pinned flag and status (Active / Archived) through the table; the other fields are the assistant's own. A new title is encrypted in HIPAA mode, including literal text beginning with `enc:v1:`. Only an exact match to the same record's stored ciphertext is preserved unchanged; internal SYSTEM writes retain their existing storage path.
-- A table delete of a conversation also deletes its messages, turns, turn events, tool calls, feedback, data audits and pending actions (the same rows `DELETE /conversations/{id}` removes), so nothing is orphaned on a database without the cascading foreign keys. A conversation with an answer in progress is refused.
-- New record actions on `assistant_conversation`: **Archive conversations**, **Restore conversations** and **Delete conversations** (standard streamed ETL: selected records, Review, Result; same permission as the table; only rows the user can see; delete skips conversations with an answer in progress).
-- UI API extension assistant 1.6.0: `GET /conversations` items have `running` (an answer in progress: a RUNNING or CANCELLING turn that is not orphaned); `PATCH /conversations/{id}` accepts `{"read": true}` (sets `unreadCount` to 0); `GET /config` has `conversationsTable: "assistant_conversation"` when the session may query that table.
-
-## Unreleased - Starter prompts follow access
-
-- `profile.starterPrompts` in `GET /assistant/config` is built per user: up to three prompts generated from tables the user can read that have rows (UI API metadata and count as the user, bounded, current access rechecked on every request, stable order for the day), plus configured prompts only when tagged with tables the user can read (`[table] prompt`, `[none] prompt`; untagged lines are dropped). See UPGRADE.md.
-
-## Unreleased - Chat turns are not jobs
-
-- Ordinary chat turns no longer create core tracking jobs: they stay out of the Jobs tray and Jobs tables, and core no longer sends an "Assistant answer finished" notification for every answer. Crash safety is unchanged; it comes from the assistant's own turn table (leased, heartbeated `assistant_turn` rows, seq-numbered `assistant_turn_event` replay and the abandoned-turn sweep). The panel's Stop (`POST /turns/{id}/cancel`) is unchanged.
-- Removed the `AssistantRunTracker` SPI, `JobTrackingRunTracker` and `AssistantQBitConfig.withRunTracker` / `setRunTracker` / `getRunTracker` (see UPGRADE.md).
-- Real multi-step work stays a real job: a confirmed bulk load still launches through `POST /qqq/v1/processes/{p}/jobs`, and its tool result now carries `jobHref` (the job's `/app` link) next to `jobId`, plus a record ref to the job; the confirm response's `href` links to the job.
-- Scheduled task notifications (output mode Notification or Both) now go through core `QAlerts.notify` (category Job, the owner as the only audience, a link to the conversation, success/error/warning severity by run status), replacing the reflective call into an older alerts SPI that no longer matched.
-
-## Unreleased - Attachments
-
-- Files attached in the panel (`pageContext.attachments`, core upload refs) are read for the question: as the signed-in user's own upload, in memory, with per-file and per-question byte and character caps (`AssistantQBitConfig.attachments`). The type is sniffed from content; executables, archives and unknown binary data are refused. Text, Markdown and JSON are decoded with charset detection, PDF page text is extracted (PDFBox via QQQ core, no scripts, host font mapper preserved), CSV/TSV/XLSX become a header + rows + count preview, and PNG/JPEG/GIF/WebP images go to vision models as image parts.
-- Images are decoded with ImageIO before provider submission, rejecting truncated data and decoder warnings. A 16-million aggregate pixel / 100-frame budget bounds decoded data; original bytes are forwarded. WebP uses the explicit TwelveMonkeys decoder.
-- Content reaches the model in an untrusted `uploaded_file` block (delimiters neutralized) in the question's user message; the system prompt says it is data, never instructions. A file that cannot be read adds a notice to the answer and never fails the turn. In HIPAA mode attachments count as PHI.
-- Provider SPI: `ModelPart.Type.IMAGE` (`mediaType`, base64 `data`), mapped by the Anthropic, Bedrock and OpenAI-compatible providers. Claude models report vision. `ModelPart.toString()` never includes text or image data.
-- `GET /config`: `features.attachments`, `limits.maxAttachmentBytes`, `limits.maxAttachments`, `limits.attachmentTypes`.
-- System prompt: when `create_record` / `update_record` are offered, the model proposes the change instead of saying it cannot create records.
-||||||| parent of c5125f9 (fix(assistant): store the transcript before message.end so the panel shows the answer)
-
-## Unreleased - Optional provider health
-
-- An enabled provider that is not the default and not the only route for any configured routing (an enabled profile's simple/complex model, a budget downgrade model or a knowledge source's embedding model, with no fallback on another usable provider) is optional: when it is unreachable, its `assistant.provider.<id>` and `assistant.model.<id>` checks report DEGRADED with a message naming the provider requests use instead, so one unfinished local server no longer turns the whole `assistant` component DOWN. The default provider and sole routes still report DOWN. A failed provider probe still carries `reachable=false`, so the circuit breaker keeps refusing the provider.
-- New `assistant_provider.setup_state` (Setup state: Active / Setting up, empty counts as Active). A provider that is Setting up is never routed to (default, profile models, fallbacks, budget downgrades, embeddings) and gets no provider or model health checks; Test connection and Discover models still work. Apply the Provider setup state DDL (UPGRADE.md).
-
-## Unreleased - Fail soft (UI API extension 1.5.0)
-
-- Every message part, tool render and presentation is validated before it is stored or streamed, and again when stored parts and events are read: all render types (records, record, count, widget, history, pending_action, bulk_load_dry_run) and presentation blocks always carry their lists. A render that cannot be repaired is replaced by an error notice ("This result could not be displayed."); unknown part and render types pass through. Problems are logged with the type and a fixed code only.
-- Tool calls have their own limit (`toolCallTimeoutSeconds`, default 60) besides the turn's (`maxTurnSeconds`, default 300). A timed-out or failing tool gets an ERROR (`is_error`) result for the model, an ERROR tool part and an error notice for the user; internal details go only to the log.
-- Every turn ends: terminal events are emitted independently, so a failing emit never skips `message.end` or the terminal turn row. Conversation detail repairs assistant messages left `STREAMING` (an orphaned run is reaped; a run that already ended gives its status), and the retention process finalizes runs still `RUNNING` past the hard stream limit (e.g. after a pod restart).
-- `POST /qqq/v1/assistant/client-errors` (extension 1.5.0): the panel reports errors it hit (`scope`, `message`, optional stacks, route, ids, part/render type, app version, `occurredAt`). Answers `202 {"accepted": true}`; over `clientErrorsPerUserPerMinute` (default 30) it answers `202 {"accepted": false}` and drops the report. Fields are bounded, message and stacks scrubbed (secrets, e-mails, long numbers, tokens, query strings), ids kept only when they are the user's own. Rows go to the new owner-locked `assistant_client_error` table (Assistant app nav, retention after `toolResultRetentionDays`), and the `assistant.client-errors` health check turns degraded at `clientErrorWarnPerHour` (default 20) reports in an hour. Apply the Fail soft DDL (UPGRADE.md).
-
-## Unreleased - Empty renders and stream context (UI API extension 1.4.0)
-
-- Tool result renders always carry their lists: a `records` render for a query that matched nothing now has `"rows": []` and `"columns": []` (QQQ's JSON omitted empty lists, and Next's Assistant crashed the page reading `rows.length`). Parts and events stored before the fix are completed when read. Extension 1.4.0 documents the shape as `AssistantRecordsRenderV1`.
-- Streamed text arrives on the provider's own (virtual) thread; the turn's progress updates now run in the turn's QContext, so job progress no longer fails with "Could not flush job progress" (NPE on the missing instance).
-
-## Unreleased - UI API 1.6.0
-
-- UI API extension assistant 1.3.0 (requires QQQ 4.1.0-RC.15, UI API 1.6.0): operationIds, standard error responses with BasicErrorResponseV1, extension tags and trace IDs. Preserve HTTP statuses and assistant-specific error codes.
-- Retain AssistantErrorV1 as a deprecated component for compatibility. Remove dangling `null` schema references from the two bodyless 204 responses (delete conversation and feedback), with an empty-content workaround for core schema traversal. Success payloads are unchanged; the contract test retains the release baseline with explicit exceptions for the error schema migration and these documentation corrections.
-
-## Unreleased - Central health
-
-### Added
-
-- Dynamic `assistant.provider.<id>` and `assistant.model.<id>` dependency checks in component `assistant`, category AI, reusing provider diagnostics and minimal connection calls with deadlines, cost-cap/kill-switch skips and TEST usage accounting.
-- LOCAL breaker reuse of central provider outcomes younger than 60 seconds, with its existing lazy probe as fallback.
-- Generic Assistant health status card linking to filtered System Health; registration, status, accounting, deadline and sentinel-secret tests.
-- QQQ 4.1 compatibility for the header shim: setting extra headers avoids duplicates now that core forwards them too.
-
-### Removed
-
-- The home's independent answering/last-test health indicators and per-provider health/down-until display. Central health owns status and history. Manual Test connection actions, `lastTest*` fields and the circuit breaker remain.
-
-## Unreleased - Jobs tray
-
-- Track assistant answers in the core Jobs tray through `JobTracking`, with thinking, tool and writing progress and Stop support.
-- Require QQQ 4.1.0-RC.8 and the host's durable jobs runtime and jobs tables; answers remain untracked when the runtime is absent.
-- Default to `JobTrackingRunTracker`; opt out with `withRunTracker(AssistantRunTracker.NOOP)`.
-
-## Unreleased - In-app help
-
-- Ship the host-neutral Assistant help bundle through QQQ's native registry, replacing the temporary loader.
-- Cover Assistant tables, fields, actions, widgets and selectors; retain live metadata references and add a bundle coverage gate.
-- Document HOST bundle overrides and remove deployment-specific provider, classification, retention and backup guidance.

-- Tokenize classified PII/PHI in stored messages, tool inputs/results, replay events, pending actions and derived summaries using QQQ secured-data tokens. Preserve eligible model requests and live SSE.
-- Stage content until turn completion, redact split deltas and classify criteria even when no records match; protect assistant logs with a scoped core redactor.
-- Reject proposals whose parameters were redacted; prevent confirmation before turn completion.
-- Read core table-level classification metadata and add secured-data canary tests for storage, audits, logs and in-memory model access.
-- Preserve durable-turn watchdog, supersede, shutdown and restart recovery with turn-scoped transcript redaction; widen token-bearing columns and entity limits, with H2-safe upgrade SQL.
-- Require QQQ 4.1.0-RC.7 (qqq#1182); retain the default audit-history opt-in and avoid duplicated routing headers against current core. RC.7 is released.
-## Unreleased - Foreign keys
-
-- Reference DDL: add the missing foreign keys (conversation tree, usage, data audit,
-  budget accounting, profile skills) with orphan quarantine and their indexes; make
-  `assistant_model.provider_id` `ON DELETE CASCADE`. A Postgres guardrail test fails
-  any declared relation without a foreign key.

-  hard deadlines, and finalize active runs during graceful shutdown. Recover
-  abandoned runs on replay, active discovery, or the next question.
-- Default to superseding a prior answer in the same conversation. Accept explicit

-  on `message.start`. Cancel is idempotent and returns HTTP 200.
-- Add the optional `AssistantRunTracker` Jobs tray SPI (no-op by default),
-  pending QQQ core job tracking (#1210).
-- Add the durable-turn schema upgrade; apply it before deploying this runtime.
-  A partial unique index fences duplicate terminal events from concurrent reapers.
-- UI API extension `assistant` 1.2.0 (additive): `turns/active`, the optional
-  `concurrency` on a new turn, 503 `SHUTTING_DOWN`, `turn.phase`,

-## Unreleased - Starter defaults
-
-- Every seed changeset's rollback is empty: a seeded row cannot be told apart from a host's own row with the same name, and Liquibase also rolls back changesets it marked ran, so a name-based undo would delete host data.
-
-- Fix the defaults changelog: every precondition is a portable `sql-check` (the formatted-SQL `table-exists` form failed to parse); the policy, budget and prices are seeded only into empty tables and the profile only when no default exists, so an existing host never changes on deploy. The test now runs the changelog through Liquibase 4.33, including an already configured host and a missing table.
-- The Setup card prices the default model the way calls are costed (registry, price rows, configured prices); "Add rows for every table" reads fresh data-access rows.
-
-- Ship `db/liquibase/qbit-assistant/assistant-defaults.changelog.sql`: insert-only starter rows for the policy, a default profile, four starter skills offered through it, a monthly instance budget (warn, downgrade, stop), current Anthropic prices and a disabled example scheduled task.
-- Add the Setup card to the Assistant home: every configuration table with its state (set up, needs setup, using defaults, optional) and the next step.
-- Add the `assistant_data_access` table action "Add rows for every table", which writes the default access out as editable rows.
-- Add `help/qbit-assistant.yaml` (QQQ help-bundle format) for the app and every assistant table, saying what each table is for and how its rows get created; applied by `AssistantHelp` until core help bundles ship in a release.
-- Guardrail tests: every table is used at runtime, seeded or explained, and has empty-state help; the changelog seeds a fresh schema and the seeded rows change the assistant's behavior.
-
-## Unreleased - X1/Y1
-
-- Add default-off `withRecordHistory(true)` host opt-in: remove only `audit*` on RC.6, or invoke core #1193 audit-read/write-deny support when available. Preserve user permissions and all other channel denials; kof22 does not opt in.
-
-- Register explicit assistant-channel denials on every assistant table, process,
-  report and widget, preserving core security patterns; fail runtime startup
-  when an assistant object is exposed.
-- Bump the assistant UI API extension to 1.1.0 for optional owned-turn attribution
-  on explain-access, and regenerate its OpenAPI contract.
-- Preserve turn attribution in knowledge discovery, RAG reads and explain-access
-  calls; confirm actions retain the original turn and scheduled runs retain the task.
-- Build audit links with the presentation filter-link builder, filtering by
-  record, table and channel, including deletes; widen audit link storage to TEXT.
-  Document the host audit migration and the QBit column widening.
-- Verify the admin denial matrix through the real invoker and Next UI, startup

A user without a permission gets the identical denial through the assistant. `navigate` and `search_help` (no records) stay on the core kernel. `LoopbackUiApiGateway` is a stand-in for core's `UiApiInvoker` (QRun-IO/qqq#1128).

 ## Invariants (do not break)
 
-- **Transcript redaction:** stored transcripts never contain raw PII/PHI values; tokens via `ClassifiedValueTokens`. Redact storage copies before truncation/encryption; eligible model inputs and live SSE remain unchanged.
-
 - **Sessions:**
   - Scheduled runs log in as the designated user through `POST /qqq/v1/manageSession`; resolve only its returned UUID, verify the user id, and never construct or elevate a session. The QQQ-supplied scheduler context touches only assistant bookkeeping.
   - Never use `QSystemUserSession` or construct a `QSession` in main code (ArchUnit).
   - Every route uses `ExecutorSessionUtils.setupSession` (the user's own session).
   - `AssistantSecurity` only ever adds the user's OWN id key, or the all-access key for `assistant.admin` holders.
-- **Channel wall:** every `assistant_*` object (table, process, report and widget) is denied to the `assistant` channel; startup fails otherwise. Requests carry `assistant/<turnId>` or `assistant/scheduled/<taskId>`; administration uses `next-ui`.
 - **Data access:**
   - The vector index stores no record content: only source/table/key/field/chunk, content hash and embedding. Retrieval re-reads every hit through the UI API as the asking user, then applies the existing get_record exposure/masking path.
   - Only `persistence/` calls QueryAction, InsertAction and the other data actions (ArchUnit).
-  - Every tool is registered once in `tools/registry/ToolRegistry` (name, kind, checks, definition, execute) by a registered `ToolFamily`: the QBit's own are the explicit list `AssistantRuntime.ownToolFamilies()`, a host's or another QBit's come from `AssistantQBitConfig.withToolFamily`. Nothing is found on the classpath. A new family of the QBit is new files and one entry in that list.
-  - A tool is looked up only in the registry. Outside `tools/`, only `engine/ToolCallService` runs a tool or writes an `assistant_tool_call` row (ArchUnit); the turn engine and the confirm route both go through it. A tool call runs as the signed-in person, with their current permissions and budget, never as the assistant; a refusal happens before any data action; every call that ran has a log row with redacted input.
-  - `ToolCallService` trusts no caller and takes nothing it can find out itself. A caller hands it a `tools.registry.ToolCall` (a `SignedInPerson`, the call's id, name and input) and nothing else: the service reads the policy fresh on every call (`PolicyService.current(true)`, narrowed for a scheduled task's conversation; never the cache), builds the tool `Context` with the gateway the runtime handed it and keeps the proposed writes itself.
-  - The boundary holds at compile time for code outside the assistant's packages, not only by ArchUnit. Keep it so: `ToolCallRequest`, `ConfirmedToolCall` and `UiApiToolbox.Context` are final classes with no public constructor, made only through `of(ToolCallService.Permit, ...)`; the permit has a private constructor and the service never hands its own out. `AssistantRuntime` has no public getter for the tool registry, the UI API gateway, a toolbox or its tool families: it hands them to the collaborators it builds. Never add a public way to any of them, and never a public method on the service that runs a tool without writing its row.
-  - Its public entry points: `executeAndLog(call, conversationId, hipaaRoute)` for a caller with no turn (the service makes the scope); `confirm(person, pendingActionId)` and `cancel(person, pendingActionId)`, called only by `AssistantApi` (ArchUnit); `offers(person, toolName)` and `offersAny(person, toolNames)`; `readContext(person, timeout)` (only `AssistantApi` and `RagService`, ArchUnit); `expiredIfDue(userId, action)`; `failAbandonedActions(now)` for the retention process. `execute(call, scope)`, `log(call, scope, outcome)` and `withdraw(call, scope)` are package-private, for the turn engine only.
-  - On every call, before the tool is reached, it checks: a signed-in person, assistant access, the kill switch, that the scope's conversation and turn are that person's, the policy (unreadable refuses), the hard budget (that a spending limit is in force at all, then the limits; read on every call, never remembered per scope; one aggregate query per budget through `AssistantStore.sumUsage`, never the usage rows) and that the tool is offered to this person now. What a caller still supplies (rate limiting, per-request call limits and timeouts, classification, the HIPAA route) is listed in the service's javadoc.
-  - `SignedInPerson` binds a session to the one credential forwarded to the UI API. It has no public constructor: `ofRequest(Context)` (only `AssistantSpecs`, ArchUnit; it forwards only the credential the session was resolved from) or `ofSession(qInstance, session)` (the session's own id is the credential: the authentication module resolves it, it must be the user the session names, and the person IS the session the module resolved, never the object passed in: only its time zone is carried over). Never make a person from a session that was not checked, never read access, the owner key or a permission from a session object a caller handed over, never pass a session and credentials separately, and never let the turn engine make a person.
-  - The toolboxes cannot be called around the service: their entry points that run a tool are package-private, the runtime has no getter for a toolbox (each family is handed its own), and no class outside `tools/` calls into it except through the registry (ArchUnit, with a short allow-list: the runtime's wiring, the value types, and `UiApiToolbox.read`, the four read-only tools the starter prompts and the knowledge index use).
-  - `UiApiToolbox.read` needs a `Context`, and every context is made by the service: `ToolCallService.readContext(person, timeout)` for a read outside a tool call (it checks the person, assistant access and the kill switch, reads the policy itself and uses the runtime's gateway), or the context of the tool call the read is part of. `Context.forRead(timeout)` and `forReadWhateverTheToolSwitches()` only derive a narrower one. Never add a public way to make a context from a session id, a gateway or a policy. These own reads have no tool-call log row (nothing of them reaches a model; an index run has its process record) and do not ask the hard budget (they call no model).
-  - The turn engine writes one row per started call in a per-call `finally`: a call that ran past its time limit, one whose result could not be processed, and a batch the engine was interrupted in all keep their rows, of the real outcome when the worker finished. A row that cannot be written for a call that changed data is logged at ERROR.
-  - A missing policy refuses; it never means "every tool".
   - Data tools run only through `UiApiToolbox` → `UiApiGateway` (spec'd `/qqq/v1` operations with the user's `sessionUUID`); never core data actions for user data. Only `navigate` and `search_help` use `AiToolKernel.execute`.
-  - Data access (`DataAccessService`) and the policy only ever narrow what the UI API allows. The mode of a table or process is declared in versioned code: the default (`withDefaultTableAccess` / `withDefaultProcessAccess`, READ_WRITE) or a pin (`withTableAccess` / `withProcessAccess`). An administrator's `assistant_data_access` row narrows it and never raises it. A table whose AI exposure is NONE stays NONE, and so does every `assistant_*` table and every process of the QBit (`DataAccessService.isOwnTable`: a pin in code that no row and no host pin lifts). Rows that cannot be read and were never read mean NONE for everything, never the default.
-  - READ_WRITE grants nothing: the write tools are offered to a person only when the UI API says that person may create, edit or delete records of some table (`UiApiToolFamily.writableTables`, asked as the person, once per offer, within `toolCallTimeoutSeconds`; no answer means no write tool). The person's permission for the change itself is decided by the UI API when the confirmed change runs, with its own message. Never materialise defaults as rows again: the retired "Add rows for every table" action is why `assistant-data-access-follow-user.changelog.sql` exists.
-  - A write runs only after the owner confirms its pending action, with the confirming request's session, once; no policy or caller can turn confirmation off (`assistant_policy.writesRequireConfirmation` is no longer read). `ToolCallService.confirm` loads the stored action for that person, claims it, runs it and writes its row; whatever fails after the claim ends in FAILED with a row, never in RUNNING.
-  - A pending action is decided once: confirming, cancelling and expiring all go through `AssistantStore.decidePendingAction` (final; `expirePendingAction` is a claim with the decision EXPIRED), which inserts the action's row into `assistant_pending_action_claim` (unique `pendingActionId`). Never decide an action with a status update alone, never expire one from a copy read earlier or a time a caller names (`ToolCallService.expiredIfDue` decides from the stored action and the runtime's clock), and never drop that unique key.
-  - What was approved is what is written: `update_record` and `delete_record` read the record as the person when they propose and keep its version (a digest of the whole record, never values; `beforeJson` holds only what the card showed, after the exposure rules of get_record). A confirmed update or delete reads the record again and refuses when it changed, is gone or cannot be read. A proposal without a version is refused, not run.
-  - A tool call whose own outcome the turn engine did not take (timed out, stopped, failed, unprocessable) shows no card, so the engine has the service withdraw what it proposed; a proposal made after that is refused.
-  - Retention first ends pending actions left RUNNING for more than `ToolCallService.ABANDONED_AFTER` (one hour) as FAILED, with "outcome unknown, check the record" and a tool-call log row, then deletes decided and lapsed pending actions older than `approvalRetentionDays`, with or without a conversation. No action stays RUNNING for ever.
+  - Data access (`DataAccessService`) and the policy only ever narrow what the UI API allows; a table whose AI exposure is NONE stays NONE.
+  - A write runs only after the owner confirms its pending action (unless the policy turns confirmation off), with the confirming request's session, once.
   - Panel API queries also filter `userId = me`, so an admin's all-access key never mixes other users' conversations into the panel.
 - **Caching:** the request prefix stays byte-stable. The order is tools (kernel-sorted), then system block 1 (rules + primer + app digest, LONG/1h), then system block 2 (user digest + date, SHORT/5m), then messages. Exactly one SHORT hint goes on the newest message. Don't put timestamps or ids in the system prompt.

-Add nullable `audit.client_channel VARCHAR(100)` using the host's migration and

 ## The app home
 
-The **Assistant** app's home shows configuration, usage and cost read as the viewing admin. A generic status card summarizes the central runner's latest results and links to System Health filtered to `assistant`; it shows UNKNOWN before results are available. Health history and check lists live in System Health.
+The **Assistant** app's home is the one place for the assistant's health, usage and cost (no other dashboard repeats it). All of it comes from the tables below, read as the viewing admin; an empty table gives an empty state, never sample data.
 
-- **Configuration and usage:** default provider, key status, the 7-day error rate of model calls, cost and requests this month against the instance's monthly limit.
-- **Providers:** one row per provider: type, model, masked key status, cost this month against its cap, limits, and any problem with its settings.
+- **Health:** is it answering (kill switch, default provider, key present, last test), the 7-day error rate of model calls, cost and requests this month against the instance's monthly limit.
+- **Providers:** one row per provider: type, model, masked key status, last test, cost this month against its cap, limits, and any problem with its settings.
 - **Usage, last 30 days:** bars of model requests per day, totals (conversations, requests, tokens in and out, cost) and the last 7 days in words.
 - **Costs this month:** month to date against the policy limit and each provider cap, then by model. Cost is tokens times the model's price from **Model prices**.
 - **By user, this month**, **Top tools** (calls, failures, average time) and **Recent failures** (model calls and tool calls, linked).

-
-- reads the upload as the signed-in user, through core `UploadRefs` and `StorageAction`, and only the user's **own** upload (a jobs administrator's wider upload access is not used); the bytes stay in memory, within `maxFileBytes` and `maxTurnBytes`;
-- sniffs the type from the bytes, never from the name or the browser's content type. It reads text and Markdown, JSON, CSV, TSV, Excel `.xlsx` (first sheet), PDF and PNG/JPEG/GIF/WebP images. Executables, archives (ZIP, gzip, 7-Zip, RAR...), legacy Office files, `.docx`/`.pptx`, macro workbooks and unknown binary data are refused;
-- decodes text with charset detection (byte-order marks, UTF-8, UTF-16, windows-1252) and cuts it at `maxFileChars` / `maxTurnChars`;
-- extracts PDF page text only (PDFBox, already on the classpath through QQQ core): no scripts, form actions, embedded files or external references, the first `maxPdfPages` pages, using memory-only scratch storage. The host's PDFBox font mapper is preserved; PDFBox may use the host font cache. Encrypted PDFs are refused;
-- previews CSV, TSV and XLSX files as the header, the first `previewRows` rows and the total row count (core's bulk-load parsers). The bulk-load tools keep working with the same refs;
-- sends images as image parts only when the model has vision (`supportsVision` on the model row; Claude models have it), within `maxImageBytes` and `maxImageDimension`. ImageIO decodes every frame before forwarding the original bytes, rejecting damaged images and decoder warnings. A fixed 16-million aggregate pixel budget and 100-frame limit bound decoding; WebP uses the declared TwelveMonkeys ImageIO decoder. Unsupported decoder variants produce a per-file notice. Otherwise the user is told the current model cannot read images.

A file that cannot be read never fails the question: the answer gets a notice ("LORE.txt could not be read: ...") and the model gets a `status="not_read"` block. Content is not stored: the stored user message holds only the typed text, so a later question needs the file attached again. Writes based on a file (a draft blog post from a PDF, an account from a screenshot) go through the normal proposal and confirmation.

-### What the assistant may do with a table
-
-The assistant may read what the signed-in person may read, and propose any change that person may make themselves. Nothing needs opening first: that default is declared in code, and the database only ever narrows it.
-
-| What decides, in this order | Where | Can it widen? |
-|---|---|---|
-| The assistant's own tables and processes (`assistant_*`) are never available to it | a pin in the QBit's code | No, by nothing. |
-| A table whose metadata keeps it from AI (AI exposure NONE) is never available | table metadata | No. |
-| The application's code: a pin for the object, else the default | `AssistantQBitConfig.withTableAccess(table, mode)` / `withProcessAccess(process, mode)`, else `withDefaultTableAccess` / `withDefaultProcessAccess` (both `READ_WRITE`) | It is the ceiling. |
-| An administrator's row on **Assistant > Data Access** | `assistant_data_access` | No. `READ` makes a table read-only for the assistant, `NONE` hides it; `READ_WRITE` is "no restriction". A row never raises what the code says. |
-| The person's own permissions, record locks and validation | the UI API, on every call | They are the boundary. |
-
-`READ_WRITE` grants nothing. The write tools (`create_record`, `update_record`, `delete_record`, and the save tools of the optional extensions) are offered to a person only when the UI API says that person may create, edit or delete records of some table; a person who may only read is not offered them. A change is only ever proposed: the person confirms it on a card, it then runs as that person, and a change they may not make is refused with the status and message the screen gives. The **Data access** card on the Overview shows, for the person looking, the access of every table and what decided it.

-| Register its own tools | `AssistantQBitConfig.withToolFamily(ToolFamily)`, before the QBit is produced; implement `tools.registry.AssistantTool` (`execute(ToolCallRequest)`, and `executeConfirmed(ConfirmedToolCall)` for a tool that proposes). |
-| Run one tool call for a signed-in person, logged | `runtime.getToolCalls().executeAndLog(new ToolCall(person, id, name, input), conversationId, hipaaRoute)` |
-| Ask whether a person is offered a tool now | `runtime.getToolCalls().offers(person, toolName)`, or `offersAny(person, toolNames)` for several as one question |
-| Make one of the assistant's own reads as a person (`list_tables`, `describe_table`, `count_records`, `get_record`; never a change, no log row) | `runtime.getToolCalls().readContext(person, timeout)`, then `UiApiToolbox.read(context, ...)`. The service checks the person, assistant access and the kill switch, and reads the policy itself. |
-| Confirm or cancel a person's pending action | `runtime.getToolCalls().confirm(person, id)` / `cancel(person, id)` (inside this repository only `AssistantApi` does; the routes are `POST /actions/{id}/confirm` and `/reject`). |
-| Name the signed-in person | `SignedInPerson.ofRequest(context)` in a route after session setup (it forwards only the credential the session was resolved from), or `SignedInPerson.ofSession(qInstance, session)` where there is no HTTP request: the authentication module resolves the session's own id, the person is made only when that is the user the session names, and the person is the session the module resolved (what it may do is what the module says now, not what the object passed in says). |
-
-What is not available outside the assistant's packages: the tool registry, the UI API gateway and the tool families of the runtime (no public getter); running a call without its log row or writing a row without a call (`execute`, `log` and `withdraw` are package-private); constructing a `ToolCallRequest`, a `ConfirmedToolCall` or a tool `Context` (no public constructor; their `of(...)` factories need the service's permit, which only the service has, and refuse without it; there is no way to make a context from a session id, a gateway and a policy of the caller's choosing). A tool is handed its request by the service, so a tool that runs knows the checks ran first. This is a compile-time guarantee for code in other packages; it does not stop code that declares itself inside the assistant's own packages or uses reflection.
-
-These are guarantees of the service the runtime built, `runtime.getToolCalls()`. The service's constructor is public (the runtime is in another package), so other code can construct a service of its own, with a registry, a store and a gateway of its own choosing. Such a service checks what those let it check; it does not run the runtime's checks, and it is not a way around them: it cannot be given the runtime's registry, gateway or toolboxes, and whatever it calls is still the UI API as a signed-in person, with that person's permissions. The single decision of a pending action cannot be replaced by a subclass of the store (`AssistantStore.decidePendingAction` is final).

-
-A tool that changes something never changes it: it stores a pending action and the panel shows a card. Nothing runs until the user confirms the card, and no setting switches that off.
-
-- **What the card shows.** `actionKind` says what is proposed: `record_create`, `record_update`, `record_delete`, or the name of the proposing tool (`save_analysis`, the bulk-load tools, a host's own). For a record change the card has the table and the record, and one line per field: an update shows the value before and after, a create the value, a delete what the record holds. The values before go through the same exposure rules as `get_record` (a hidden field is absent, a masked field is masked). `toolName` stays one of the three record tools for a record change, so a panel that only knows those still draws a working card.
-- **What was approved is what is written.** An update or a delete is proposed for the record as the user can read it at that moment; a record they cannot read is refused then, with the UI API's own answer, and no card is made. The proposal keeps a version of the record (a digest of the whole record, never its values). On confirmation the record is read again as the confirming user: if it is gone, may no longer be read, or changed in any field, the change is refused ("This record changed after the change was proposed. Nothing was changed.") and the record is left as it is. The UI API has no conditional write, so a change made in the instant between that read and the write is not detected.
-- **One decision.** A pending action is confirmed or cancelled once, by exactly one request, however many arrive together and on however many servers: the decision is a row in `assistant_pending_action_claim`, whose `pending_action_id` is unique. Keep that unique key.
-- **Expiry.** A proposal lapses after `pendingActionTtlSeconds`; expiry is evaluated when it is read and when it is decided. Expiry is itself a decision, made through the same claim: an action somebody confirmed is never marked expired afterwards, and is reported as what it is.
-- **A call that was cut short.** When a tool call runs out of time, is stopped or fails, the user is shown no card; what it proposed is withdrawn (marked `EXPIRED` and claimed) and what it would propose later is refused.
-- **Retention.** `assistantRetention` first ends a confirmed change that was left `RUNNING` for more than an hour (the server stopped while it ran) as `FAILED`, with "Outcome unknown: this change was started and its end was never recorded. Check the record before asking for it again." and a tool-call row; it can never be confirmed again. It then deletes pending actions older than `approvalRetentionDays` that were decided or lapsed.

-This is an owner decision and a hard wall: record history defaults to disabled;
-**kof22 does not opt in**. On QQQ RC.6, the opt-in removes exactly `audit*`
-from the assistant's denied patterns (the former manual configuration step).
-RC.6 does not add a separate channel write denial for audits. On later RCs that
-include QRun-IO/qqq#1193, it calls `withAssistantAuditReads()`, which allows audit
-reads but denies audit writes. The user's own audit permissions still apply.
-Other patterns, including `worm_audit_*`, `assistant_*`, and security surfaces,
-remain untouched, as do explicit object and permission-rule denials.

 # Upgrading qbit-assistant
 
-## Writes follow the signed-in person; the assistant needs a spending limit (Unreleased)
-
-**After this upgrade the assistant proposes changes on every table the signed-in person may change themselves, with no settings row, and it refuses to answer anybody for whom no spending limit is in force.** Both are owner decisions of 2026-11-12. Every change still waits for the person's confirmation card, runs as that person through the UI API, and is refused there, with the screen's own message, when they may not make it. No DDL changes.
-
-### What a host must apply
-
-1. **Include the migration changeset** in the master changelog, once, after the assistant's tables:
-
-   ```yaml
-   - include: { file: db/liquibase/qbit-assistant/assistant-data-access-follow-user.changelog.sql }
-   ```
-
-   It deletes the rows of `assistant_data_access` that the retired table action "Add rows for every table" wrote and nobody changed since: type `TABLE`, mode `READ`, the action's fixed note, and a modify date less than one second after the create date. It touches no other row: not a row an administrator wrote or changed, not a `NONE` or `READ_WRITE` row, not a `PROCESS` row. Its rollback is empty. A host that never ran that action has nothing to remove and may still include it. A host with its own migration tool runs the one `DELETE` of that file.
-
-   Without the changeset nothing breaks: each of those rows now reads as a restriction, and the assistant stays read-only on that table until the row is deleted.
-
-2. **Review the rows that remain** on Assistant > Data Access in every environment, before deploying. A row no longer opens anything. What each row means now:
-
-   | Row | Before | After |
-   |---|---|---|
-   | none | the assistant may read the table | the assistant may read it and propose what the person may change |
-   | `READ` | the same as no row | **a restriction**: the assistant never proposes a change to this table |
-   | `NONE` | the assistant never sees the table | unchanged |
-   | `READ_WRITE` | the assistant may propose changes to this table | no restriction, the same as no row: delete it or keep it |
-
-   Which rows exist in a deployed database cannot be read from code; an administrator has to look.
-
-3. **Make sure a spending limit is in force**, or the assistant refuses every question after the upgrade. One is, when a budget row on Assistant > Budgets is switched on, has a limit above zero and applies to the person (a whole-instance budget applies to everybody), or when the code configuration or the policy row declares a hard limit above zero (`AssistantBudgets` user daily or instance monthly). The starter defaults changelog seeds a monthly whole-instance budget on a host that had no budget; a host that deleted or switched off its budgets, or never included the starter defaults and declares no hard limit, must add one. The Setup card's Budgets line says so.
-
-### What changes for administrators
-
-- **Data Access rows only restrict.** Add a row to make a table read-only for the assistant (`READ`) or to hide it (`NONE`). There is no longer a way to open a table from that screen, because nothing needs opening: the assistant follows each person's own permissions. The mode's help text and the Data access card on the Overview say what decided for each table ("default", "pinned in code", "administrator setting", "sensitive table").
-- **The table action "Add rows for every table" is gone.** The Data access card shows the effective access of every table, and its source, without storing anything.
-- **People who may change a table are offered the write tools at once**, on every table they may change. A person who may only read is not offered them. Tell the people who use the assistant: the card is the moment to check.
-- **With no budget in force the assistant says so and stops**: "The assistant is not answering because no spending limit is in force. An administrator must set or switch on a budget (Assistant > Budgets) before it can be used." Switching a budget back on restores it with the next question. A budget that is switched off, or whose limit is zero, does not count. A temporary "unlimited until" override does not take a budget out of force: it is a dated exception to a budget that stays in place.
-- **Scheduled tasks** are refused the same way, and the run's error is that sentence.
-- **The retention process** now ends a confirmed change that was left running for more than an hour as failed, "Outcome unknown: ... Check the record before asking for it again.", with a tool-call row. Such an action could not be confirmed again before either; it is now also removed after `approvalRetentionDays` like any other.
-- The assistant's own tables can never be opened to the assistant, by a row or by code.
-
-### Keeping the assistant read-only, or opening single tables
-
-In the application's configuration class, not in the database:
-
-```java
-config.withDefaultTableAccess(DataAccessMode.READ)        // the assistant proposes no change anywhere ...
-   .withTableAccess("orders", DataAccessMode.READ_WRITE)  // ... except where the code says so
-   .withTableAccess("payroll", DataAccessMode.NONE)       // never shown to the assistant, whoever asks
-   .withDefaultProcessAccess(DataAccessMode.NONE);        // no process, when the process tools arrive
-```
-
-A pin replaces the default for its object. An administrator's row can lower a pin or the default and can never raise either: with `withDefaultTableAccess(READ)` a `READ_WRITE` row does nothing.
-
-### Java API, for a host or another QBit that called these directly
-
-- `SignedInPerson.ofSession(qInstance, session)` returns a person whose `session()` is the session the authentication module resolved, not the object passed in. Code that put permissions, security keys or values on its own session object and expected the assistant to see them must put them where the authentication module does (its customizer). The time zone value is carried over.
-- `UiApiToolbox.Context.forRead(sessionUUID, timezone, gateway, policy, credentials, turnId)` is gone. `runtime.getToolCalls().readContext(person, timeout)` makes the context of one of the assistant's own reads, for a signed-in person, and throws `QException` when the person has no assistant access or the kill switch is on.
-- `StarterPrompts.forUser(person, policy, configured, historyOffered)` is gone; `forUser(context, userId, configured, historyOffered)` takes a context from `readContext`. `new StarterPrompts(toolbox, clock)` no longer takes a gateway.
-- `AssistantStore.expirePendingAction(id)` is `expirePendingAction(userId, id, now)` and returns whether it expired the action; `decidePendingAction` is final.
-- `UiApiToolbox.definitions(policy, boolean)` is `definitions(policy, Set<String> writableTables)`; `UiApiToolbox.anyWritableTable()` is gone (`DataAccessService.anyWritableTable()` still says whether any table's data access allows writes, for nobody in particular). `new BulkLoadToolFamily(bulkLoadTools)` takes one argument.
-- `AssistantRetentionStep.Result` has an eighth component, `pendingActionsFailed`; `purge(runtime, now)` is the whole run, `purge(config, store, now)` everything but ending the actions left running.
-- `processes.DataAccessDefaultsProcess` is gone.
-- The test-jar of `qbit-assistant` holds the `testing` package only. A project that used `RuntimeInternals`, `ToolCallServiceInternals` or `Toolboxes` from it (none of the provider modules did) keeps its own copy in its own test sources, inside the assistant's package it reaches into; they were never an API.
-- A host's own `ToolFamily` and its tools compile unchanged. A host's tool that proposes a change is offered as before; it decides its own offer in `definition(ToolOffer)`.
-
-### An existing test's expectation that changed
-
-`ChatToolSetTest` compares the chat's tool list with a file written before the tool registry existed. No definition changed and no line of the file changed. What changed is who is offered the write tools: the four "everything" scenarios now ask as a person who may change tables (with no settings row; they used to ask as a person who may only read, with `READ_WRITE` rows), and the scenario of a person who may not save an analysis lost its `save_analysis` line.
-
-## One decision per pending action, a closed tool surface, cards with before and after (Unreleased, UI API extension assistant 1.9.0)
-
-**Apply the "Pending actions" block at the end of `docs/schema-postgres.sql` before deploying.** It is guarded and safe to re-run. It adds:
-
-- `assistant_pending_action.action_kind VARCHAR(64)`, `before_json TEXT`, `record_version VARCHAR(64)` (all nullable);
-- two indexes on `assistant_pending_action`: `(user_id, status)` and `(create_date)`;
-- the table `assistant_pending_action_claim` (`id`, `pending_action_id` NOT NULL with a cascading foreign key to `assistant_pending_action`, `user_id`, `decision`, `create_date`), with **`UNIQUE (pending_action_id)`** and an index on `user_id`.
-
-The unique key is what makes a confirmation run once across servers. A host that maps table or column names with a table customizer maps the new table and columns the same way; a host with its own migration tool copies the block into it. Without the block, proposing and confirming fail (the columns and the table are written on every proposal and decision).
-
-What a host may notice:
-
-- A proposal made before the upgrade and confirmed after it: an update or a delete is refused as changed (it kept no version of the record) and the user asks again; a create runs. Proposals live 15 minutes by default.
-- `update_record` and `delete_record` now read the record (`GET /table/{tableName}/{primaryKey}`, as the user) when they propose and again when the user confirms. A record the user cannot read is refused at proposal time with that operation's answer.
-- Confirming an update or a delete of a record that changed in the meantime fails with "This record changed after the change was proposed. Nothing was changed."
-- `assistantRetention` now deletes decided and lapsed pending actions older than `approvalRetentionDays` (default 365). The setting was documented and never read; check its value before the first run after the upgrade.
-- New operation `GET /qqq/v1/assistant/actions`; `AssistantActionV1` has new optional fields (`actionKind`, `conversationId`, `createdAt`, `decidedAt`, `tableLabel`, `recordHref`, `changes`, `before`). A released panel keeps working: `toolName` and the existing fields are unchanged.
-- The input kept in `assistant_tool_call.input_json` is now also redacted with `customRedactionPatterns`.
-- A request that carries several credentials (a session cookie and an `Authorization` header, say) has only the one its session was resolved from forwarded to the UI API.
-
-Java API, for a host or another QBit that called these directly:
-
-- `SignedInPerson.ofSession(session)` is now `SignedInPerson.ofSession(qInstance, session)`. It asks the authentication module to resolve the session's own id and throws `IllegalArgumentException` when that is not the user the session names.
-- `new AssistantApi(runtime, session)` still exists and still serves the user's own conversations. It starts a turn, confirms or cancels an action, and explains access only after the same check, and answers 403 when the check fails.
-- Gone from the public surface: `AssistantRuntime.getToolRegistry()`, `getUiApiGateway()` and `ownToolFamilies()`; `ToolCallService.getRegistry()`; `ToolCallService.execute` and `log` (use `executeAndLog`); the public constructors of `ToolCallRequest`, `ConfirmedToolCall` and `UiApiToolbox.Context`, which are now final classes with the same accessors (a context for one of the assistant's own reads is `UiApiToolbox.Context.forRead(...)`). `new ToolCallService(runtime, registry, store)` takes the gateway as a fourth argument.
-- `AccessExplainer.explain(...)` has an overload without the gateway argument; `RagService` and `StarterPrompts` are handed the gateway by the runtime.
-- `UiApiToolbox.ProposedWrite` has three more components (`kind`, `before`, `recordVersion`); the seven-argument constructor still exists. `AssistantRetentionStep.Result` has a seventh component, `pendingActionsDeleted`.
-- A host's own `ToolFamily` and its tools compile unchanged (they read a request through its accessors and never constructed one).
-
-## Every write waits for confirmation; the tool-call service owns the policy and the identity (Unreleased)
-
-No schema change and nothing to apply to the database. What a host may notice:
-
-- **Writes require confirmation** on the `assistant_policy` row no longer does
-  anything: every create, update or delete the assistant proposes waits for the
-  user's confirmation card. The column `writes_require_confirmation` stays in
-  place and is not read. A host that had switched it off gets the card again.
-- `AssistantQBitConfig.withToolFamily` throws when it is called after the QBit
-  was produced (it was ignored). Register tool families before producing it.
-- Java API, for a host that called these directly: `AssistantApi.withCredentials`
-  is gone (`new AssistantApi(runtime, session)` is unchanged; a route uses
-  `new AssistantApi(runtime, SignedInPerson.ofRequest(context))`);
-  `AssistantRuntime.getToolbox()`, `getKnowledgeTool()` and `getBulkLoadTools()`
-  are gone; `PolicyService.ToolPolicy` has three components
-  (`allowedTools`, `maxRowsPerCall`, `redactPii`); `ToolCallScope.clientChannel()`
-  is gone. A host's own `ToolFamily` and its tools compile unchanged.
-
-## Conversation management (Unreleased, UI API extension assistant 1.6.0)
-
-No schema change. `assistant_conversation` is now usable by every user holding
-`assistant.hasAccess` (not only `assistant.admin`), together with three new
-record actions (Archive, Restore and Delete conversations). Rows stay locked to
-their owner. A user's table queries only return their own rows if their session
-carries their owner key: call `AssistantSecurity.applySessionKeys` from the
-authentication customizer for **every** user, not only for admins. Without it,
-non-admin users see an empty table.
-
-The panel can link to the table using `conversationsTable` from `GET /config`.
-That field is present only when the user may query the table.
-
-## Starter prompts follow the user's access (Unreleased)
-
-`GET /assistant/config` no longer returns the profile's starter prompts as written.
-`profile.starterPrompts` (same field, still `string[]`) is now built per user:
-
-- Up to three prompts are generated from the tables the signed-in user can read
-  through the assistant and that have rows (a count as the user), using the table
-  labels, a date field when present, and "What changed in ... this week?" when the
-  change-history tool is offered. The pick is stable for the user for the day and
-  rechecked on every request, including table, row and field access. Generation
-  uses bounded UI API calls and no model calls. Any failure yields no generated prompts.
-- A configured starter prompt (Assistant Profile > Starter prompts, one per line) is
-  shown only when it declares the tables it needs and the user can read all of
-  them. Declare them with a leading tag: `[blog_post] Which posts are drafts?`, or
-  `[blog_post, page] ...` for several. `[none] What can you help with?` names no
-  table and is always shown. A line without a tag is no longer shown, because
-  nothing says which tables it mentions: add a tag to keep it.
-- Shown prompts are the permitted configured ones first, then generated ones, three
-  in all (a profile with three or more permitted prompts shows only those).
-
-No schema change and no configuration. The panel needs no change.
-
-## Chat turns are not jobs (Unreleased)
-
-Ordinary chat turns no longer create core tracking jobs, so they no longer appear
-in the Jobs tray or the Jobs tables and no longer trigger a per-answer "finished"
-notification. No schema change and no configuration is needed.
-
-The `AssistantRunTracker` SPI and `JobTrackingRunTracker` are removed, along with
-`AssistantQBitConfig.withRunTracker`, `setRunTracker` and `getRunTracker`. A host
-that called any of them must delete the call: `withRunTracker(AssistantRunTracker.NOOP)`
-is now the only behavior, and a custom tracker has no replacement hook. Turn
-progress, Stop and recovery are available through the assistant's own routes
-(`GET /turns/active`, the turn events stream and `POST /turns/{id}/cancel`).
-
-Bulk loads the assistant launches are still durable jobs. Their confirmed tool
-result now includes `jobHref` (the job's in-app link) and the confirm response's
-`href` points at the job.
-
-Scheduled task notifications now use core `QAlerts.notify`; they reach whatever
-alerts sink the host installed (or core's logging sink when none is).
-
-## Provider setup state (Unreleased)
-
-Apply the **Provider setup state** block at the end of `docs/schema-postgres.sql`
-**before** deploying: the provider table now reads `setup_state`, so the new jar
-fails on `assistant_provider` without it. It adds a nullable `VARCHAR(16)` with
-default `'ACTIVE'` and a check for `ACTIVE` / `SETTING_UP`; existing rows behave as
-before. It is `IF NOT EXISTS` and safe to re-run.
-
-To stop an unfinished provider from being routed to or health-checked, edit it in
-Assistant > Assistant Provider (Provider section) and set **Setup state** to **Setting up** (SQL:
-`UPDATE assistant_provider SET setup_state = 'SETTING_UP' WHERE id = <id>;`).
-Enabled providers that are neither the default nor the only route for a configured
-model now report DEGRADED, not DOWN, when unreachable. No configuration change.
-
-## Fail soft (Unreleased, UI API extension assistant 1.5.0)
-
-Apply the **Fail soft** block at the end of `docs/schema-postgres.sql` before
-deploying. It creates `assistant_client_error` (errors the panel reports through
-`POST /qqq/v1/assistant/client-errors`) with its indexes and `SET NULL` foreign keys
-to the conversation, message and turn. It is `IF NOT EXISTS` and safe to re-run.
-
-New configuration, all optional: `toolCallTimeoutSeconds` (default 60),
-`clientErrorsPerUserPerMinute` (default 30) and `clientErrorWarnPerHour` (default
-20, when the `assistant.client-errors` health check turns degraded). The new table
-is in the Assistant app's nav for administrators.
-
-## Transcript redaction (Unreleased)
-
-Apply the transcript-redaction column widening block in `docs/schema-postgres.sql`
-to existing databases. Stop reasons, request IDs, tool-call IDs, feedback/data-audit/
-budget-override reasons and scheduled-run summaries/errors now use `TEXT`; token
-expansion must not fail a write or truncate secured-data tokens. The corresponding
-entity field limits are removed, including pending-action and tool-result summaries.
-
-## Foreign keys (2026-10-14)
-
-Recommended: apply the "Foreign keys" block at the end of
-`docs/schema-postgres.sql` (after the index audit). It is guarded and safe to re-run.
-- Adds the missing foreign keys across the conversation tables, usage, data audit,
-  budget accounting and profile skills, with the indexes they need.
-- Detail rows of a conversation `CASCADE`; the message/turn cycle, usage and the data
-  audit use `SET NULL`, so usage keeps its cost rows when a conversation is deleted.
-- Usage, budget accounting and the data audit hold their provider (`NO ACTION`):
-  disable a provider with history instead of deleting it.
-- `assistant_model.provider_id` changes from `NO ACTION` to `CASCADE`
-  (constraint renamed `fk_assistant_model_provider`).
-- Rows that point at a missing parent are first copied to `qqq_fk_quarantine`
-  (created if absent), then nulled, or deleted for the `NOT NULL` profile-skill
-  links. Check that table after the upgrade.
-
-No code change.
-
-## Index audit (2026-10-14)
-
-Recommended, not required: apply the "Index audit" block at the end of
-`docs/schema-postgres.sql`. It adds six indexes, every one `IF NOT EXISTS`:
-- usage by turn (read on each scheduled run)
-- the three retention date filters (turn events, tool calls, inactive conversations)
-- the two `ON DELETE SET NULL` foreign keys on `assistant_scheduled_run`
-
-No code change.
-
-## Durable turns (Unreleased)
-
-Apply the **Durable turns** block at the end of `docs/schema-postgres.sql` before
-starting the new runtime. It adds nullable `heartbeat_at`, `lease_owner`,
-`cancel_requested_at`, `phase`, `concurrency_mode` and the `(user_id, status)`
-index. A partial unique index on terminal events also prevents two replicas from
-inserting separate `message.end` frames for the same turn. Check for historical
-duplicate terminal frames before applying it (resolve any duplicates through your
-normal migration process). Fresh installs run the full schema, including ALTERs.
-Existing rows with no heartbeat use `started_at` for lease expiry. During the
-first upgrade from a runtime without heartbeats, drain old replicas' turns first:
-a new replica cannot distinguish an old live turn from a dead owner after 45 s.
-
-Defaults: heartbeat 5 s, lease 45 s, hard duration 300 s, force-finalization grace
-20 s, shutdown grace 8 s. Configure these through the corresponding
-`AssistantQBitConfig` withers. Heartbeat must be shorter than the lease. The JVM
-shutdown hook is enabled by default; tests disable `registerShutdownHook` and
-managed hosts may call `runtime.shutdown(Duration)` themselves. Give the process
-termination budget enough time for the configured shutdown grace and persistence.
-
-`POST /conversations/{id}/turns` accepts `concurrency: "supersede" | "concurrent"`
-(case-insensitive). Default `SUPERSEDE` stops prior runs in that conversation;
-`CONCURRENT` permits them. The default per-user cap is now 3; reaching it stops
-the oldest run instead of returning the old in-progress 429. Per-minute and
-budget 429 responses still apply. Superseded turns record `cancelReason=SUPERSEDED`.
-
-Cancel now returns HTTP **200**, including for terminal turns, with the current
-`status`. The OpenAPI fragment retains the old 202 response for mixed-version
-rollouts. Active runs are discoverable through `GET /qqq/v1/assistant/turns/active`;
-reattach through the existing events route. Consumers should recognize
-`turn.phase` and `message.start.startedAt`. Starts during shutdown return
-503 `SHUTTING_DOWN`; clients may retry against a ready replica.
-
-`JobTrackingRunTracker` is now the default `AssistantRunTracker`, using core
-`JobTracking` in QQQ **4.1.0-RC.8** to publish answers in the Jobs tray. The host
-must provide the jobs tables (through qbit-jobs / core `DurableJobsMetaDataProvider`)
-and run `DurableJobsRuntime`. Without that runtime, answers complete normally
-and are simply not tracked.
-
-Each job is owned by the assistant user, links to its `assistant_conversation`,
-and reports thinking, tool and writing phases. Tool progress contains only the
-tool label; terminal messages are fixed and never contain prompts or answers.
-The tray's Stop cancels the assistant turn. All tracker callbacks remain isolated
-from turn execution. Opt out with `withRunTracker(AssistantRunTracker.NOOP)`;
-hosts may still supply their own `AssistantRunTracker`.
-
-## Starter defaults, setup card and table help
-
-The jar now ships `db/liquibase/qbit-assistant/assistant-defaults.changelog.sql`.
-Include it from the host's master changelog **after** the changesets that create
-the `assistant_*` tables:
-
-```yaml
-- include: { file: db/liquibase/qbit-assistant/assistant-defaults.changelog.sql }
-```
-
-It is insert-only and never changes a host that already configured the
-assistant: the policy, the **$50/month instance budget** (warn 80%, downgrade
-100%, stop 120%) and the Anthropic list prices are seeded only into empty tables,
-and the `default` profile only when no default profile exists. Price rows take
-precedence over `AssistantQBitConfig.withPricing`, which is why they are seeded
-only when there are none. The four starter skills and a disabled example
-scheduled task are always added (by name); on a host with its own default
-profile the skills are not linked to it, and the Setup card says so. Requires
-Liquibase 4.x or later (preconditions are `sql-check`s).
-

-example `2026-10-14-audit-client-channel.sql`); no host migration is applied here.
-Existing audit rows remain null. The test fixture enables the field.
-
-The existing `assistant_tool_call.auditHref` column now points to audit rows
-filtered by record, table and client channel, including for deletes. It is empty
-when the host has not enabled the audit channel field. Apply the X1/Y1 DDL in
-`docs/schema-postgres.sql` to widen the existing `assistant_tool_call.audit_href`
-column to TEXT: encoded filters with long table names or string record ids can
-exceed the old 500-character limit. No new QBit column is required. `GET /assistant/access` accepts an optional owned `turnId` for attribution.

+- `LoopbackUiApiGateway` is the stand-in until a QQQ release has the invoker. Then an adapter over `UiApiInvoker.forServer(server)` replaces it (or a host injects one with `withUiApiGateway`), and nothing else changes.

 `navigate` and `search_help` stay on the core kernel because they read no records:
 - `navigate` only builds an `/app` link, and the page enforces permissions when it opens.
 - `search_help` reads help text from metadata.
 
-`analyze_records` answers grouped questions (a count, sum, average, minimum, maximum or distinct count per group, for one or two group-by fields). The user needs what the Analyses screens need: read on the table and the table's analyze permission. The assistant adds its own limits first: data access READ on the table, and group-by, measure and filter fields whose values it may see (a hidden field is refused as an unknown one, before any request). It returns at most the policy's rows per call.
-
-`save_analysis` is the first write that creates more than one record. It follows W below (create and schedule a report through the saved-analysis and schedule tables' own insert operations) with these fixed points:
-- One proposal, one card: the pending action stores the whole plan (the analysis definition and the schedule); the card lists what will be created and the numbers as they are now. It is never auto-confirmed (no write is).
-- The confirming user's session creates both records, the saved analysis first. If the schedule's insert is refused, the outcome says exactly that: the analysis exists, the schedule does not.
-- The schedule is DAILY at a local time in an IANA time zone, emailed to the confirming user. A time zone is never guessed: the tool refuses a schedule without one and tells the model to ask.
-- A schedule is refused, with the reason, while it could not run: the assistant reads the instance and asks the host (`withScheduledDeliveryCheck`). Whether a scheduled run can get the owner's current access when they are signed out is the host's to answer (a service principal, QQQ `docs/SERVICE-IDENTITY.md`).
-
-**A decided action is told to the conversation.** Confirming adds a stored message of the assistant ("Done. ..." with links), and the next request annotates each earlier proposal with what became of it (`[proposed action N: ...]`: done, failed, cancelled, expired). The annotation is built per request from `assistant_pending_action`; nothing else is stored.
-
 Running processes and reports through the assistant (`/processes/...`, `/reports/...`) is not offered yet. Process data access rows are stored so that the screens can already show and set them.
 
 ### Layers (each one can only narrow the one before)
 
 1. **The user's own permissions and record locks**, enforced by the UI API itself. A user who cannot do something in the UI gets the identical status and message through the assistant: the tool result is `DENIED`/`NOT_FOUND`/`INVALID_INPUT` with `"<operation> answered HTTP <status>: <message>"`.
-2. **Data access** (declared in code, narrowed by `assistant_data_access` rows that `assistant.admin` edits). What decides, most restrictive first:
-   - the `assistant_*` tables and the QBit's own processes are NONE; no row and no host pin raises them;
-   - tables whose AI exposure is NONE (sessions, OAuth, and any table whose metadata says so) are NONE;
-   - the code says the rest: a pin for the object (`withTableAccess`, `withProcessAccess`), else the default (`withDefaultTableAccess`, `withDefaultProcessAccess`), which is READ_WRITE: the assistant may propose what the signed-in person may do themselves;
-   - a row sets NONE or READ per table (`TABLE`) or process (`PROCESS`) and can only narrow what the code says. A READ_WRITE row is "no restriction".
-   The write tools are offered to a person who may create, edit or delete records of some table themselves (asked of the UI API as that person). See `docs/actions-and-mcp.md` sections 2 and 3.
+2. **Data access** (`assistant_data_access`, editable by `assistant.admin`). A row sets NONE, READ or READ_WRITE per table (`TABLE`) or process (`PROCESS`). Without a row:
+   - tables whose AI exposure is NONE (the `assistant_*` tables, sessions, OAuth, and any table whose metadata says so) are NONE, and a row cannot raise them;
+   - other tables are READ, so the assistant never writes unless an admin allows it;
+   - processes are NONE.
+   The write tools are offered only when some table is READ_WRITE.
 3. **Policy** (`assistant_policy`):
-   - every write waits for the user's confirmation card; no policy switches that off (the `writesRequireConfirmation` column is no longer read);
+   - `writesRequireConfirmation` (default true);
    - `allowedTools` (empty allows all);

-- **Tools call core's `UiApiInvoker`** (`CoreUiApiGateway`), and the loopback stand-in is removed.
-  - The request's credentials (`UiApiCredentials.fromContext`: session cookies, Authorization, API key, exactly as they came in) are captured by the spec that starts the turn, confirms an action or explains access. They are passed to the tools, so OAuth2, table auth and API-key sessions all work. They are never logged.

--- Foreign keys (2026-10-14). Run on new and existing databases; every step is guarded
--- and re-runnable. The rules follow how the qbit deletes:
--- * AssistantStore.deleteConversation (also the retention purge) deletes turn events,
---   tool calls, feedback, messages, turns, data audit and pending actions, then the
---   conversation. The conversation's own detail rows CASCADE, so an admin delete of a
---   conversation cleans up the same way.
--- * The message <-> turn cycle (turn.user_message_id / assistant_message_id and
---   message.turn_id) and the other optional pointers are SET NULL. Rows are inserted
---   parent first, so nothing is deferred.
--- * assistant_usage keeps its cost rows when a conversation goes (SET NULL), and the
---   data audit trail is never cascaded into (SET NULL).
--- * Provider references from usage, budget accounting and the data audit are NO ACTION
---   (like assistant_turn.provider_id): disable a provider with history, do not delete
---   it. A provider's model rows are its own (CASCADE).
--- * assistant_budget_usage.usage_id has no foreign key on purpose: the projection
---   outlives its usage row so budgets keep counting the spend.
--- Rows that already point at a missing parent are recorded in qqq_fk_quarantine first,
--- then nulled (nullable columns) or deleted with the full row recorded (NOT NULL).

- ** The signed-in person a request is made for: their own session and the one

- ** confirmation are all made for one of these, so what the assistant checks
- ** (who the person is, what they may do) and what the UI API then acts as are
- ** the same person.
- **
- ** There are two ways to get one, and no public constructor:
- ** - {@link #ofRequest(Context)}, for a route: the session the route's session
- **   setup put on this thread, with the one credential of that HTTP request
- **   the session was resolved from (not every credential the request carried).
- **   Only the assistant's route classes may call it (ArchUnit).
- ** - {@link #ofSession(QInstance, QSession)}, for code that has a session and
- **   no HTTP request (a process, a scheduled run): the credential is the
- **   session's own id. The instance's authentication module resolves that id,
- **   exactly as it will when the UI API is called with it, and the person is
- **   the session it resolved, never the object that was passed in: who the
- **   person is and what they may do (assistant access, the owner key, every
- **   permission) is read from what the authentication module says now. So a
- **   permission added to a session by hand gives the person nothing, and a
- **   session kept from earlier does not keep a permission that has since been
- **   taken away. A session that names one user and carries another user's id
- **   is refused.

 /*******************************************************************************
- ** What the assistant may do with a table or a process: NONE, READ or
- ** READ_WRITE. READ_WRITE grants nothing. It means the assistant may propose
- ** what the signed-in person may do themselves: the person's own permissions,
- ** record locks and validation still decide, in the UI API, and every change
- ** waits for that person's confirmation.
+ ** The assistant's data access per table and process: the admin's
+ ** `assistant_data_access` row, else the default.
  **
- ** The mode is declared in versioned code and can only be narrowed in the
- ** database. What decides, in this order (the first that applies ends it,
- ** except that an administrator's row narrows what the code says):
- ** 1. the assistant's own objects (every assistant_* table: its settings,
- **    budgets, policy, providers, conversations and logs; and its own
- **    processes) are NONE. Nothing changes that: no row, no host pin.
- ** 2. metadata: a table whose AI exposure is NONE is NONE.
- ** 3. code: the host's pin for the object
- **    ({@link AssistantQBitConfig#withTableAccess},
- **    {@link AssistantQBitConfig#withProcessAccess}), else the code default
- **    ({@link AssistantQBitConfig#withDefaultTableAccess},
- **    {@link AssistantQBitConfig#withDefaultProcessAccess}; READ_WRITE unless
- **    a host says otherwise).
- ** 4. the administrator's `assistant_data_access` row for the object, when it
- **    is more restrictive than 3. A row never raises a mode: a row that asks
- **    for more than the code allows changes nothing.
+ ** Defaults:
+ ** - tables whose AI exposure is NONE (the `assistant_*` tables, sessions,
+ **   OAuth, and any table its metadata marks NONE): NONE;
+ ** - other tables: READ (the assistant never writes unless an admin says so);
+ ** - processes: NONE.
  **
- ** The rows are cached for policyCacheSeconds and dropped when one is saved.
- ** When they cannot be read, the last rows read stay in force; when none were
- ** ever read, every object is NONE until they can be (a restriction that
- ** cannot be read is not a restriction lifted).
+ ** The mode only narrows: every call still runs through the UI API with the
+ ** user's own session.
