 All notable changes to Chat Switchboard.

+## [0.24.1] — 2026-03-07
+
+### Added
+- **mTLS auth provider.** `server/auth/mtls.go` — authenticates via reverse proxy headers (`X-SSL-Client-DN`, `X-SSL-Client-Verify`, `X-SSL-Client-Fingerprint`). Parses RFC 2253 distinguished names, auto-provisions users from cert CN, uses fingerprint as stable external identity. Configurable via `MTLS_HEADER_DN`, `MTLS_HEADER_VERIFY`, `MTLS_DEFAULT_ROLE` env vars.
+- **OIDC auth provider.** `server/auth/oidc.go` — OpenID Connect with authorization code flow. JWKS key caching with auto-refresh on rotation, RSA token validation, split-horizon issuer support (`OIDC_ISSUER_URL` for backend, `OIDC_EXTERNAL_ISSUER_URL` for browser). Claim extraction for `preferred_username`, `email`, `name`, `groups`, `realm_access.roles`. Role mapping via configurable `OIDC_ADMIN_ROLE`. Group sync: adds/removes OIDC-sourced group memberships on every login based on IdP groups claim.
+- **OIDC login flow.** `GET /api/v1/auth/oidc/login` redirects to IdP. `GET /api/v1/auth/oidc/callback` exchanges code for tokens, validates, auto-provisions user, issues internal JWT, redirects to login page with base64-encoded token fragment. Login page JS picks up `#oidc_result=...`, saves to localStorage, redirects to app.
+- **Login page SSO button.** Template adapts by `AUTH_MODE`: builtin shows username/password form, OIDC shows "Sign in with SSO" button, mTLS shows certificate prompt.
+- **Keycloak integration test environment.** `docker-compose-keycloak.yml` extends base compose with Keycloak 26 + pre-configured realm. `ci/keycloak-realm.json` includes switchboard client, group mapper, two test users (alice/user, bob/admin), two groups (engineering, leads). One command: `docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-keycloak.yml up`.
+- **`QArgs()` dialect adapter.** Handles Postgres `$N` placeholder reuse for SQLite — expands args to match positional `?` placeholders. Wrapper functions `database.QueryRow()`, `database.Query()`, `database.Exec()` (+ Context variants) replace `database.DB.Query(database.Q(...))` pattern with automatic arg expansion.
+- **`QArgs` unit tests.** 5 tests covering reused placeholders, no-reuse passthrough, ILIKE rewrite, high placeholder numbers, Postgres no-op.
+- **Channel list regression test.** `TestIntegration_ChannelListWithTypeFilter` exercises `types=direct,group` query path that previously returned 500 on SQLite.
+
+### Fixed
+- **SQLite `_time_format` DSN parameter.** Removed `_time_format=2006-01-02T15:04:05Z` from `modernc.org/sqlite` connection string — this parameter is `mattn/go-sqlite3`-only and caused `database ping: unknown _time_format` on startup.
+- **SQLite store wiring.** `main.go` store initialization now uses `sqliteStore.NewStores()` when `DB_DRIVER=sqlite` instead of always using `postgres.NewStores()`. Fixes nil pointer panic in health accumulator goroutine.
+- **nginx resolver for localhost.** Changed `set $backend http://localhost:8080` to `http://127.0.0.1:8080` — IP literal doesn't require DNS resolution inside container.
+- **nginx extension asset routing.** Changed `location /api/` to `location ^~ /api/` — prevents `location ~* \.(js)$` regex from intercepting `/api/v1/extensions/.../main.js` requests.
+- **Channel list 500 on SQLite.** Count query uses `user_id = $1 OR ... participant_id = $1` — Postgres allows reusing `$1` but SQLite's `?` is positional. Fixed with `QArgs` arg expansion.
+- **OIDC group sync FK constraint.** `findOrCreateOIDCGroup` now receives the provisioning user's ID as `created_by`, satisfying the `groups.created_by REFERENCES users(id)` foreign key.
+
+### Migration Notes
+- **Migration 019:** `oidc_auth_state` table (ephemeral OIDC flow state), `groups.source` column (`manual`/`oidc`).
+- **New env vars:** 10 mTLS (`MTLS_*`) + 11 OIDC (`OIDC_*`) + `AUTH_MODE` extended to accept `mtls`/`oidc`.

-
-## Bug Fixes
-
- [x] **Channel persistence through refresh.** `loadChannels()` read
-      `resp.channels` but `ListChannels` returns a `paginatedResponse`
-      with `data` key. Channels created in-session appeared (pushed to
-      `App.channels` client-side) but vanished on reload because the
-      API response was always parsed as empty.
-      Fix: `resp.channels` → `resp.data` in `projects-ui.js`.
-
- [x] **Folder drag-and-drop completely broken.** Three compounding
-      issues:
-      (a) `loadChats()` never mapped `c.folder` → `folderId` — all
-          chats rendered as unfiled regardless of DB state.
-      (b) Folder groups rendered "Drop chats here" but had zero drag
-          event handlers (`ondragover`/`ondrop` missing).
-      (c) No drop zone existed for unfiling a chat or removing from
-          a project — the Chats section body had no drag handlers.
-      Fixes: added `folderId: c.folder || null` to `loadChats()` map;
-      added `ondragover`/`ondragleave`/`ondrop` to `.sb-folder-group`
-      divs in `renderChatList()`; added `onChatSectionDrop` handler to
-      `#sbBodyChats` (handles both unfile-from-folder and remove-from-
-      project); added `onFolderDrop` and `moveChatToFolder` functions;
-      added "Move to folder" / "Remove from folder" to chat context
-      menu; added drag-over CSS for folders and section body.
-
- [x] **DM creation 404 on `/api/v1/users`.** Route didn't exist.
-      Added `GET /api/v1/users/search?q=` endpoint returning id,
-      username, display_name for approved users (max 20, excludes
-      caller). Registered on `protected` group (any authed user).
-      Rewrote DM creation UI from text input to lazy search modal —
-      shows all users on open, filters as you type with 200ms debounce,
-      click to select and create DM.
-
- [x] **No unfiled drop zone when folders exist.** When folders were
-      present, folder groups consumed all space in `#sbBodyChats`,
-      leaving no bare target to drag a chat out of a folder. Added
-      `.sb-unfiled-zone` wrapper around unfiled chats with its own
-      drag handlers. Shows "Drop here to unfile" hint when zone is
-      empty. `onUnfiledDrop` handles both unfile-from-folder and
-      remove-from-project.
-
- [x] **No channel CRUD.** Channel sidebar items had no context menu
-      or management affordances. Added: right-click context menu with
-      Rename / Set topic (channels only) / Delete. Inline ✕ delete
-      button on hover (same pattern as chat items). `renameChannel()`
-      uses `_showCreationDialog` with pre-filled value. `deleteChannel()`
-      with confirm dialog removes from `App.channels` + `App.chats`,
-      clears active if deleted channel was selected.
-
- [x] **Drag-over highlight persists.** `onChatDragEnd` only cleared
-      `.project-group.drag-over` — missed folders, unfiled zone, and
-      section body. Fixed to `document.querySelectorAll('.drag-over')`
-      so all drop targets are cleaned up when a drag ends anywhere.
-
- [x] **Channel ⋯ menu inconsistency.** Channels used ✕ delete button
-      + right-click only, while folders used ⋯ hover button. Replaced
-      channel ✕ with `.sb-ch-menu` ⋯ button matching the folder
-      pattern (hidden, shown on hover, triggers context menu on click).
-      Both channels and folders now have ⋯ hover + right-click.
-
- [x] **Folder delete silently spills chats.** `deleteFolder()` always
-      unfiled contained chats with no user input. Replaced with a
-      three-button modal when the folder has chats: "Keep chats"
-      (unfile and preserve), "Delete chats too" (hard-delete all
-      contained chats), or Cancel. Empty folders get a simple confirm.
-      Delete-all path iterates chats, calls `API.deleteChannel()` for
-      each, clears active state if needed, then removes the folder.
-
- [x] **Folder ⋯ button shifts collapse arrow.** The ⋯ button used
-      `display:none/block` which caused reflow on hover, shifting the
-      arrow left. Fixed: swapped DOM order (⋯ before arrow), changed
-      to `visibility:hidden/visible` so space is always reserved.
-      Applied same fix to channel ⋯ button. Arrow gets fixed width
-      with `flex-shrink:0`.
-
- [x] **Channels STILL not surviving refresh (round 2).** The unread
-      count subquery in `ListChannels` referenced
-      `cp.last_read_message_id` — a column added by migration 017.
-      If 017 hasn't been applied (fresh DB only has through 016), the
-      query fails and returns zero channels. Additionally, the `$1`
-      parameter was reused in Postgres (subquery + WHERE) which would
-      break SQLite's positional `?` binding.
-      Fix: rewrote unread subquery to use `last_read_at` (exists since
-      migration 005). Split `$1` reuse into `$1` (subquery) and `$2`
-      (WHERE), with `args` providing `userID` twice. `MarkRead` also
-      fixed to use `last_read_at` as primary, `last_read_message_id`
-      as best-effort (silently fails if 017 not applied).
-
- [x] **Settings Models section empty.** Template `models` section
-      fell through to the generic `settingsDynamic` div, but
-      `loadUserModels()` wrote to `#userModelList` which didn't exist.
-      Added dedicated template sections for `models` and `teams`.
-
- [x] **CI: TestIntegration_Messages_CRUD 500.** `ListMessages` JOIN
-      used `u.avatar` but the column is `avatar_url` in the users
-      table. Query failed on SQLite (Postgres would fail too). Same
-      bug in `treepath/path.go` `resolveSenderInfo()`.
-      Fix: `u.avatar` → `u.avatar_url` in both locations.

-
-## Design Decisions (resolved)
-
-**Unified active conversation.** `App.currentChatId` and
-`App.currentChannelId` merge into `App.activeConversation = { id, type }`
-where type is `direct|dm|group|channel`. The send path, model bar,
-input state, streaming, session restore, and URL sync all key off
-`activeConversation.id`. The type discriminator drives ai_mode checks,
-context banner visibility, and participant rendering. Refactor touches
-`selectChat()`, `selectChannel()`, `sendMessage()`, session restore in
-`app.js`, and active-highlight in sidebar renderers.
-
-**DM deduplication.** One channel per participant pair. `CreateChannel`
-for `type=dm` checks for an existing DM with the same two participants
-before creating. Display name is the other party's name (from the
-caller's perspective). For future 3+ human DMs: comma-join up to 2
-names + "and N others".
-
-**No LLMs in DMs.** DMs are human-to-human by definition. `ai_mode`
-is `mention_only` — you can @mention a persona for a one-off response,
-but personas are not participants. If you want persistent AI in a
-conversation with another human, that's a Group Chat (`type=group`).
-The taxonomy stays clean.
-
-**Post-creation participant mutation.** Users and personas can be added
-or removed from any channel/group after creation. Participant CRUD
-endpoints already exist. Constraints: DMs cannot drop below 2 human
-participants; groups cannot drop their last persona (becomes a DM at
-that point — block with error, not silent type coercion).
-
-**Channel deletion vs archival.** Governed by `channel_retention.mode`:
- `flexible` (default): delete or archive freely, user's choice.
- `retain`: archive only. Delete button becomes "Archive" everywhere.
-  `DELETE /channels/:id` returns 403 for non-admins. Admins purge
-  from the admin panel, subject to retention age floor.
-
-See "Retention Policy" section below for the full lifecycle.

-
-## 1 · Unified Active Conversation
-
-Prerequisite refactor. Do this first — everything else builds on it.
-
- [x] **`App.activeConversation` object.** Replace `App.currentChatId`
-      and `App.currentChannelId` with `App.activeConversation = { id,
-      type }` (null when nothing selected). Update `app-state.js`.
-      Added `activeId` getter, `activeType` getter, `setActive(id,type)`
-      method, and `getActiveChat()` helper.
- [x] **`selectChat()` migration.** Sets
-      `App.activeConversation = { id: chatId, type: chat.type }`.
-      Session restore reads/writes `cs-active-conversation` (JSON).
- [x] **`selectChannel()` migration.** Sets
-      `App.activeConversation = { id, type: ch.type }`. Same session
-      storage key. Now also ensures conversation object in `App.chats`
-      for message caching and maps messages into standard shape.
- [x] **Send path.** `sendMessage()` reads `App.activeId`
-      for the channel ID. No behavior change — the backend already
-      handles all channel types on the same completion endpoint.
- [x] **Model bar, input state, streaming.** All `currentChatId`
-      references → `App.activeId`. All `App.chats.find(...)` for
-      active chat → `App.getActiveChat()`. 12 files updated.
- [x] **Sidebar active highlight.** Both `renderChatList()` and
-      `renderChannelsSection()` check `App.activeId` for the
-      active class. Selecting either clears the other.
- [x] **URL sync.** `history.replaceState` uses
-      `/chat/${activeConversation.id}` regardless of type. The Go
-      route handler already loads any channel by ID.
- [x] **Session restore.** Reads `cs-active-conversation` JSON,
-      checks both `App.chats` and `App.channels` arrays, calls
-      `selectChat()` or `selectChannel()` as appropriate.
- [x] **`newChannelOrDM()` integration.** Now pushes to both
-      `App.channels` (sidebar) and `App.chats` (message cache),
-      and sets the new channel as active.

-
-## 2 · Channel + DM Plumbing
-
- [x] **NotifyUserMention on events hub.** Replaced broken gin context
-      interface cast with direct `h.hub.SendToUser()`. Delivers
-      `user.mentioned` event with channel_id, from_user, content
-      preview. Added `user.mentioned` to event route table as
-      `DirToClient`. Added `truncateContent()` helper.
- [x] **DM creation flow.** Sidebar "+" shows choice dialog (New Channel
-      / New DM). DM flow uses `_showCreationDialog` with username input,
-      looks up user by username, creates `type=dm` channel with
-      `participants: [targetId]`. Sets `ai_mode=mention_only` by default.
- [x] **DM dedup guard.** `CreateChannel` for `type=dm` queries
-      `channel_participants` for existing DM between the two users.
-      Returns existing channel (200) instead of creating duplicate (201).
-      Self-DM blocked with 400.
- [x] **Channel context banner.** `#channelContextBanner` div between
-      chat header and messages. `UI.updateContextBanner()` shows/hides
-      based on `App.activeConversation.type`. DM shows partner name +
-      @mention hint. Group shows leader/all routing hint. Channel shows
-      ai_mode + topic. CSS in `chat.css`.
- [x] **ai_mode and topic in API response.** Added `AiMode` and `Topic`
-      fields to `channelResponse`. `ListChannels` SELECT and Scan
-      updated. `CreateChannel` INSERTs `ai_mode` (defaults to
-      `mention_only` for DMs, `auto` otherwise).
- [x] **DM participant auto-creation.** `CreateChannel` adds all
-      `req.Participants` as member participants alongside the creator
-      (owner). Works for both Postgres and SQLite.
- [x] **Unread counts.** Add `last_read_message_id` and `last_read_at`
-      columns to `channel_participants`. Backend computes unread count
-      per channel per user. `listSidebarChannels` response includes
-      `unread_count`. Mark-read on select.
-
---
-
-## 3 · @mention UX for Users
-
- [x] **Autocomplete includes users.** `channel-models.js` `onInput()`
-      builds candidates from `App.models` only. Add `App.users` list
-      (fetched once on startup from `GET /api/v1/users` or lightweight
-      endpoint). Merge into candidates with a person icon and different
-      accent color. Resolution order in autocomplete: personas first,
-      then users, then models (mirrors backend `resolveMention`).
- [x] **User mention pill styling.** `@username` pills render with a
-      different background color (e.g. blue/teal vs persona accent)
-      and person icon to distinguish human from AI mentions.
- [x] **Notification on mention.** `user.mentioned` WS event handler
-      in `chat.js` increments unread badge on channel sidebar item
-      and shows a toast with content preview.
-
---
-
-## 4 · Presence
-
- [x] **Client heartbeat.** 30s `setInterval` calling
-      `API.presenceHeartbeat()`. Start on app init, pause on
-      `visibilitychange` hidden, resume on visible.
- [x] **Presence on channel load.** When rendering the Channels section,
-      collect DM partner IDs and call `GET /api/v1/presence?users=...`
-      to populate `App.presence`. Wire into `renderChannelsSection()`
-      online dot.
- [x] **Presence WebSocket events.** Hub broadcasts
-      `presence.changed { userId, status }` to sessions in shared
-      channels. Frontend updates `App.presence` and re-renders the
-      relevant sidebar item (not full re-render).
-
---
-
-## 5 · Persona Groups + Group Chat
-
- [x] **Persona group CRUD endpoints.** Wire `persona_groups` and
-      `persona_group_members` to handlers. Routes:
-      `GET/POST /api/v1/persona-groups`,
-      `GET/PUT/DELETE /api/v1/persona-groups/:id`,
-      `POST/DELETE /api/v1/persona-groups/:id/members`.
-      `is_leader` flag on members.
- [x] **"New Group Chat" flow.** UI in sidebar "+" or separate button.
-      Option A: pick from saved persona group template.
-      Option B: ad-hoc persona picker (checkboxes).
-      Creates `type=group` channel, adds persona participants, sets
-      leader via `is_leader`. Humans and personas can be added
-      post-creation via participant CRUD.
- [x] **Group leader default response.** In `completion.go`, when
-      channel `type=group` and no @mention in content, resolve the
-      leader persona from `persona_group_members WHERE is_leader`
-      (via `channel_participants` → group membership). Use leader's
-      model/config/system prompt for the completion.
- [x] **`@all` fan-out.** When `@all` is detected in message content,
-      route to every persona participant. Reuse existing
-      `multiModelStream` path or sequential chain. Depth-1 only
-      (responses from @all do not trigger further chains).
- [x] **Participant mutation guards.** DMs: block removal if it would
-      drop below 2 human participants. Groups: block removal of last
-      persona (return 400 with clear error message, not silent type
-      coercion).
-
---
-
-## 6 · Message Attribution
-
- [x] **Human sender display.** Messages from other human participants
-      show their avatar + display name instead of "You". Requires
-      the message response to include `sender_name`, `sender_avatar`
-      (or `participant_type=user` + `participant_id` that the frontend
-      resolves from a user cache).
- [x] **Persona sender display.** Already works for streaming via
-      avatar resolution. Verify it works for loaded history in
-      channel context (not just direct chats).
-
---
-
-## 7 · Channel Lifecycle
-
- [x] **Archive action.** Context menu on channel/DM sidebar items:
-      "Archive". Sets `is_archived = true, archived_at = NOW()` via
-      `PUT /channels/:id`. Archived channels move to a collapsed
-      "Archived" sub-section at the bottom of the Channels list
-      (or hidden entirely with a "Show archived" toggle).
- [x] **Delete action (gated).** When `channel_retention.mode` is
-      `flexible` (default): context menu shows "Delete". Hard-deletes
-      the channel and all messages. When `retain`: context menu shows
-      "Archive" only. No delete option for non-admins.
- [x] **Admin purge.** Admin panel gets a "Channels" section or row
-      in an existing section showing archived channels with age.
-      "Purge" button hard-deletes. When `purge_after_days` is set,
-      purge is blocked for channels archived less than N days ago.
- [x] **`channel_retention` config keys.** Add to `global_config`:
-      `channel_retention.mode` (`flexible`|`retain`, default `flexible`),
-      `channel_retention.purge_after_days` (int|null, default null),
-      `channel_retention.archive_after_days` (int|null, default null).
-      Admin settings UI: "Retention" section under System.
-
---
-
-## 8 · Surface Integration (deferred v0.22.8)
-
-These were on the v0.22.8 checklist and haven't been wired yet.
-
- [x] **ChatPane.primary bridge.** `ChatPane.create()` in `startApp()`
-      from server-rendered mount points. `UI.renderMessages` delegates
-      to `ChatPane.primary.renderMessages`. Currently `ChatPane.primary`
-      is defined but never assigned.
- [x] **Theme save/load cycle.** Wire `Theme` (from
-      `ui-primitives-additions.js`) into settings appearance save/load.
-      Persist preference to user settings API. CM6 theme sync on
-      change.
- [x] **Admin hybrid section loaders.** Complete all JS-loaded admin
-      sections (some still show empty panels).
- [x] **Settings surface completeness.** Models visibility toggles,
-      User Personas CRUD, BYOK provider CRUD, Teams tab content.
-

-
-## Forward: Retention Policy Automation (post-0.23.2)
-
-Not in scope for 0.23.2 but documents the planned direction.
-
-**Lifecycle:** Active → Archived → Purged. Each transition is either
-user-initiated or policy-driven.
-
-**Auto-archive scanner.** Background job (same pattern as compaction
-scanner). When `channel_retention.archive_after_days` is set, queries
-`channels WHERE is_archived = false AND updated_at < NOW() - interval`
-and sets `is_archived = true`. Runs on a configurable schedule (hourly
-default). Workflow channels auto-archive when their final stage
-completes — the scanner catches anything the workflow engine misses.
-
-**Auto-purge scanner.** When `channel_retention.purge_after_days` is
-set, queries `channels WHERE is_archived = true AND archived_at <
-NOW() - interval` and hard-deletes in batches. This is also the floor
-for manual admin purge — admins cannot purge channels archived less
-than N days ago.
-
-**Audit trail.** Every archive and purge action (manual or automatic)
-gets an audit log entry: `action = "channel.archived"` or
-`action = "channel.purged"` with actor (user ID or "system"), channel
-metadata snapshot, and timestamp.
-
-Slots naturally into v0.24.x alongside RBAC (retention policy is
-inherently an admin/compliance concern) or as a standalone 0.23.x
-minor if it lands before auth work starts.
