 All notable changes to Chat Switchboard.
 
+## [0.17.0] — 2026-02-27
+
+### Added
+- **Persona-KB binding.** Personas can now have knowledge bases directly
+  bound to them. When a user selects a persona with bound KBs, the
+  `kb_search` tool is automatically scoped to those KBs and the persona's
+  system prompt includes a KB listing hint. Admin and team admin preset
+  forms include a KB picker with per-KB auto-search toggles.
+  Migration adds `persona_knowledge_bases` join table.
+- **Enterprise KB mode.** New `discoverable` flag on knowledge bases
+  controls whether users can see and attach KBs directly. When
+  `kb_direct_access` platform policy is set to `true`, users cannot
+  attach KBs to channels directly — they access KBs exclusively through
+  persona bindings curated by admins. New `ListDiscoverableKBs` and
+  `SetDiscoverable` endpoints.
+- **Role fallback alerts (issue #69).** When a role's primary provider
+  fails and the fallback activates, the resolver emits a `role.fallback`
+  event on the EventBus with audit log entry. Admin users see a persistent
+  dismissable banner. 5-minute per-role cooldown prevents flooding.
+- **Chat rename.** Double-click any chat title in the sidebar to edit
+  inline. Enter saves, Escape cancels.
+- **Utility model auto-naming.** After the first assistant response,
+  a background request to the utility role generates a concise title.
+  Falls back to truncation when no utility model is configured.
+  New endpoint: `POST /channels/:id/generate-title`.
+- **Chat token count.** Conversation token estimate shown in the model
+  bar, color-coded against context budget.
+- **State restore on refresh.** Active chat ID persisted to
+  `sessionStorage`, auto-restored on page reload.
+
+### Fixed
+- **ResolvePreset group access bypass.** `ResolvePreset()` used raw SQL
+  that skipped `resource_grants` checks from v0.16.0. Now uses
+  `PersonaStore.UserCanAccess()`.
+- **KB create scope authorization.** Now enforces admin role for global
+  KBs and team admin role for team KBs.
+- **Completion handler persona ID scoping.** `personaID` variable scoped
+  inside an `if` block but referenced downstream. Fixed by threading
+  through function signatures.
+- **Nil slice JSON marshaling.** `ListDiscoverableKBs` returns `[]`
+  instead of `null` when no KBs match.
+
+### Changed
+- `UpdateDocumentStorageKey` moved from raw `ExecContext` to store method.
+- EventBus route table: `role.fallback` → `DirToClient`.
+- Resolver gains `.WithBus(bus)` builder (nil-safe, backwards compatible).
+- Service worker: `/extensions/` excluded from fetch handler.
+- Mermaid renderer v2.0 (pan/zoom, export) promoted to builtin.
+- Removed DIAG diagnostics from `TestGroupBasedPersonaAccess`.
+- Paste-to-file threshold synced from backend `PublicSettings`
+  (`storage.paste_to_file_chars`, admin-configurable, default 2000).
+  Resolves hardcoded constant in `attachments.js`.
+- Embedding dropdown already had tolerant type filter, manual model ID
+  fallback, and auto-switch on empty — confirmed complete, checkbox updated.

+# DESIGN-0.17.0 — Persona-KB Binding + Enterprise KB Mode
+
+## Overview
+
+Personas become **gateways** to knowledge. In enterprise deployments,
+users don't interact with KBs directly — they talk to Personas that
+have KBs attached. This is the core differentiator for enterprise use.
+
+Depends on: knowledge bases (v0.14.0), user groups (v0.16.0).
+
+**Design principle: Personas carry context, not users.** When a user
+selects a Persona with bound KBs, the KB context flows automatically —
+no manual KB selection, no toggle management, no confusion about which
+KBs are in scope. Admins curate the KB↔Persona relationships; users
+just pick a Persona.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Schema
+
+### `persona_knowledge_bases` (new join table)
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE persona_knowledge_bases (
+    persona_id  UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES personas(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    kb_id       UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES knowledge_bases(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    auto_search BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT false,
+    created_at  TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+    PRIMARY KEY (persona_id, kb_id)
+);
+```
+
+`auto_search` controls whether the KB is searched automatically on every
+message (top-K results prepended to context) or only via explicit
+`kb_search` tool calls. Default `false` = tool-only.
+
+### `knowledge_bases.discoverable` (new column)
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE knowledge_bases ADD COLUMN discoverable BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT true;
+```
+
+When `false`, the KB does not appear in user-facing listings
+(`ListDiscoverableKBs`). It remains searchable through Persona bindings.
+
+### `platform_policies.kb_direct_access` (new row)
+
+Seeded as `'true'` (permissive default). When set to `'false'`, the
+channel KB popup is hidden — users access KBs exclusively through
+Persona bindings.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Store Layer
+
+### `PersonaStore` additions
+
+- `SetKBs(ctx, personaID, kbIDs, autoSearch)` — UPSERT join table
+- `GetKBs(ctx, personaID)` — returns `[]PersonaKB` with KB metadata
+
+### `KnowledgeBaseStore` additions
+
+- `ListDiscoverable(ctx, userID, teamIDs)` — KBs where `discoverable=true`
+  and user has access via ownership, team, or global scope
+- `SetDiscoverable(ctx, kbID, discoverable)` — toggle visibility
+- `UpdateDocumentStorageKey(ctx, docID, key)` — moved from raw SQL
+
+---
+
+## 3. Completion Pipeline
+
+### KB scoping in `BuildKBHint`
+
+When a Persona has bound KBs, `BuildKBHint` merges them with any
+channel-attached KBs:
+
+1. Load channel KBs (existing path)
+2. Load Persona KBs via `PersonaStore.GetKBs()`
+3. Union the two sets (deduplicated by KB ID)
+4. Build the hint string with listing
+
+### Persona ID threading
+
+The `personaID` is threaded through the completion handler methods:
+`Complete()` → `streamCompletion(…, personaID)` / `syncCompletion(…, personaID)`
+→ `loadConversation(…, personaID)`.
+
+The `ExecutionContext` for tool calls carries the Persona ID so
+`kb_search` can auto-include Persona-bound KBs in its search scope.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Role Fallback Alerts (issue #69)
+
+When a role's primary provider fails:
+
+1. **Attempt fallback** — existing behavior, unchanged.
+2. **Emit event** — `role.fallback` on EventBus (DirToClient).
+3. **Cooldown** — 5-minute per-role TTL prevents flooding.
+4. **Admin toast** — frontend listens for `role.fallback` events,
+   shows warning/error toast to admin users only.
+
+### Resolver changes
+
+```go
+type Resolver struct {
+    stores   store.Stores
+    vault    *crypto.KeyResolver
+    bus      *events.Bus
+    mu       sync.Mutex
+    cooldown map[string]time.Time // role → last alert time
+}
+```
+
+`WithBus(bus)` builder method. Nil-safe — if no bus is attached,
+alerts are suppressed (log only).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Security Fixes
+
+### ResolvePreset bypass
+
+`ResolvePreset()` in `presets.go` used raw SQL that skipped the
+`resource_grants` table added in v0.16.0. A Persona accessible only
+via group grant would fail at completion time. Fixed to use
+`PersonaStore.GetByID()` + `UserCanAccess()`.
+
+### KB create scope authorization
+
+`POST /api/v1/knowledge-bases` now enforces:
+- `scope=global` → requires admin role
+- `scope=team` → requires team admin role for the target team
+- `scope=personal` → open to all authenticated users
+
+---
+
+## 6. Frontend
+
+### KB Picker (`persona-kb.js`)
+
+Standalone component: `renderPersonaKBPicker(container, opts)` → control
+object with `getValues()`, `setValues()`, `clear()`, `refresh()`.
+
+Options: `scope` ('admin'|'team'|'personal'), `teamId`, `prefix`.
+
+Shows checkboxes for available KBs with doc/chunk counts. Selected KBs
+show an "Auto-inject" toggle for the `auto_search` flag.
+
+### Integration points
+
+- Admin preset form: KB picker below the form, load/save bindings on
+  edit/create via `/api/v1/admin/presets/:id/knowledge-bases`.
+- Team preset form: same pattern via team API prefix.
+- User preset form: shows discoverable KBs only.
+- Admin settings: `kb_direct_access` toggle checkbox.
+
+### Fallback alert
+
+Admin users receive `UI.toast()` notifications when `role.fallback`
+events arrive via WebSocket.
+
+---
+
+## 7. API Endpoints (new)
+
+| Method | Path | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| GET    | `/api/v1/presets/:id/knowledge-bases` | List KBs bound to a persona |
+| PUT    | `/api/v1/presets/:id/knowledge-bases` | Set persona-KB bindings |
+| GET    | `/api/v1/admin/presets/:id/knowledge-bases` | Admin: list persona KBs |
+| PUT    | `/api/v1/admin/presets/:id/knowledge-bases` | Admin: set persona-KB bindings |
+| GET    | `/api/v1/knowledge-bases-discoverable` | List discoverable KBs for user |
+| PUT    | `/api/v1/knowledge-bases/:id/discoverable` | Toggle KB discoverability |
+
+---
+
+## 8. Migration
+
+Single migration file: `002_v017_persona_kb.sql`
+
+- Creates `persona_knowledge_bases` table
+- Adds `discoverable` column to `knowledge_bases`
+- Seeds `kb_direct_access` platform policy (default `'true'`)

+# DESIGN: CodeMirror 6 Integration
+
+**Version:** v0.18.0 (or fits into current cycle)
+**Status:** Draft
+**Scope:** Add CM6 as a vendored dependency, bundled at Docker build time via esbuild. Three integration surfaces.
+
+---
+
+## Motivation
+
+Three features converge on the same dependency:
+
+1. **Chat input** — live markdown rendering (backtick → code block, bold, etc.)
+2. **Extension editor** — syntax-highlighted JavaScript/JSON editing in admin panel (replaces bare `<textarea>`)
+3. **Code editing surface** (roadmap) — future extension surface type for code review, snippets, etc.
+
+CM6 is ESM-native and expects a bundler. The build step is contained in the Docker image build — the frontend continues to ship as static assets served by nginx. No runtime build tooling, no change to the developer experience for non-CM6 code.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Build Pipeline
+
+New Docker stage between the existing `vendor` stage and the final `nginx` stage:
+
+```
+Stage 1: vendor       (existing — marked, purify, mermaid, katex)
+Stage 2: cm6-build    (NEW — npm install + esbuild → single IIFE bundle)
+Stage 3: nginx        (existing — copies src/ + vendor/ + cm6 bundle)
+```
+
+The CM6 build stage:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM node:20-alpine AS cm6-build
+WORKDIR /build
+COPY src/editor/package.json src/editor/build.mjs ./
+RUN npm install --production=false
+RUN node build.mjs
+# Output: /build/dist/codemirror.bundle.js (~180-250KB minified)
+#         /build/dist/codemirror.bundle.css (~5-10KB)
+```
+
+Final stage addition:
+
+```dockerfile
+COPY --from=cm6-build /build/dist/ /usr/share/nginx/html/vendor/codemirror/
+```
+
+### Bundle Structure
+
+A single esbuild entrypoint (`src/editor/index.mjs`) that imports CM6 packages and exposes factory functions on `window.CM`:
+
+```javascript
+// src/editor/index.mjs — esbuild entrypoint
+import { EditorView, keymap, placeholder, ViewPlugin, ... } from '@codemirror/view';
+import { EditorState, ... } from '@codemirror/state';
+import { markdown, markdownLanguage } from '@codemirror/lang-markdown';
+import { javascript } from '@codemirror/lang-javascript';
+import { json } from '@codemirror/lang-json';
+import { sql } from '@codemirror/lang-sql';
+import { html } from '@codemirror/lang-html';
+import { css } from '@codemirror/lang-css';
+import { yaml } from '@codemirror/lang-yaml';
+import { go } from '@codemirror/lang-go';
+import { python } from '@codemirror/lang-python';
+import { rust } from '@codemirror/lang-rust';
+import { oneDark } from '@codemirror/theme-one-dark';
+import { defaultKeymap, indentWithTab } from '@codemirror/commands';
+import { bracketMatching, ... } from '@codemirror/language';
+import { highlightSelectionMatches, searchKeymap } from '@codemirror/search';
+import { autocompletion } from '@codemirror/autocomplete';
+import { vim } from '@replit/codemirror-vim';
+import { emacs } from '@replit/codemirror-emacs';
+
+// Expose on window for script-tag consumption
+window.CM = {
+    EditorView,
+    EditorState,
+
+    // Factory: chat input (markdown mode, minimal chrome)
+    chatInput(target, opts = {}) { ... },
+
+    // Factory: code editor (full features, language auto-detect)
+    codeEditor(target, opts = {}) { ... },
+
+    // Supported languages for code editor
+    languages: { markdown, javascript, json, sql, html, css, yaml, go, python, rust },
+
+    // Keybinding modes (applied via user preference)
+    keybindings: { vim, emacs },
+};
+```
+
+### esbuild Config
+
+```javascript
+// src/editor/build.mjs
+import { build } from 'esbuild';
+
+await build({
+    entryPoints: ['index.mjs'],
+    bundle: true,
+    minify: true,
+    format: 'iife',
+    target: ['es2020'],
+    outfile: 'dist/codemirror.bundle.js',
+    // CSS extracted automatically by esbuild
+});
+```
+
+### package.json (editor only)
+
+```json
+{
+  "private": true,
+  "type": "module",
+  "devDependencies": {
+    "esbuild": "^0.25.0"
+  },
+  "dependencies": {
+    "@codemirror/autocomplete": "^6",

+    "@replit/codemirror-vim": "^6",
+    "@replit/codemirror-emacs": "^6"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Integration Surfaces
+
+### 1. Chat Input — Markdown Mode
+
+Replace `<textarea id="messageInput">` with a CM6 instance configured for chat composition.
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+- Markdown syntax highlighting as you type (fenced code blocks, bold, italic, links, etc.)
+- Shift+Enter inserts newline (existing behavior preserved)
+- Enter sends message (existing behavior preserved)
+- Auto-growing height (CM6 handles this natively via `EditorView.contentAttributes`)
+- Placeholder text: "Send a message..."
+- No line numbers, no gutter — minimal chrome
+- Tab inserts real tab (indentWithTab) inside code blocks; normal behavior outside
+
+**Factory:**
+
+```javascript
+CM.chatInput(document.getElementById('messageInputContainer'), {
+    placeholder: 'Send a message...',
+    onSubmit: (text) => sendMessage(text),        // Enter key
+    onChange: (text) => updateInputTokens(text),   // live token count
+    darkMode: true,
+});
+```
+
+**Migration path:**
+
+The existing code reads `document.getElementById('messageInput').value` in many places. The factory returns an object with a `.getValue()` / `.setValue()` / `.focus()` API that matches the textarea interface. A thin shim keeps all existing callsites working:
+
+```javascript
+// After CM.chatInput() creates the editor:
+const editor = CM.chatInput(...);
+
+// Shim: existing code that reads .value still works
+Object.defineProperty(document.getElementById('messageInput'), 'value', {
+    get: () => editor.getValue(),
+    set: (v) => editor.setValue(v),
+});
+```
+
+Alternatively (cleaner): introduce `ChatInput.getValue()` / `ChatInput.setValue()` / `ChatInput.focus()` and update callsites. There aren't many — `chat.js`, `attachments.js`, `tokens.js`, and a few event handlers.
+
+### 2. Extension Editor — JavaScript/JSON Mode
+
+Replace the two `<textarea>` elements in `editAdminExtension()` (`admin-handlers.js` line 706-710) with CM6 instances.
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+- Manifest textarea → JSON mode with bracket matching, auto-indent
+- Script textarea → JavaScript mode with bracket matching, auto-indent
+- Line numbers enabled
+- Search/replace (Ctrl+F) — currently impossible in a textarea
+- Tab key inserts proper indent (replaces the manual keydown handler at line 726-736)
+- Themed to match the app's dark/light mode
+
+**Factory:**
+
+```javascript
+CM.codeEditor(document.getElementById('extEdit-manifest-container'), {
+    language: 'json',
+    value: manifestJSON,
+    lineNumbers: true,
+    darkMode: isDark,
+});
+
+CM.codeEditor(document.getElementById('extEdit-script-container'), {
+    language: 'javascript',
+    value: script,
+    lineNumbers: true,
+    darkMode: isDark,
+    keymap: prefs.editorKeymap || 'standard',  // 'standard' | 'vim' | 'emacs'
+});
+```
+
+**Save integration:** `saveAdminExtension()` currently reads `.value` from the textareas. The CM6 instances expose `.getValue()` — update the save function to call that instead.
+
+### 3. Future Code Surface (Roadmap)
+
+The `CM.codeEditor()` factory with language auto-detection covers this. No additional work needed now — just document that it's available for the extensions surface type when that ships.
+
+---
+
+## Loading Strategy
+
+The CM6 bundle is **not** in `SHELL_FILES` (service worker precache list). It loads on demand:
+
+```html
+<!-- index.html: load after core app scripts, before app.js init -->
+<script src="vendor/codemirror/codemirror.bundle.js?v=%%APP_VERSION%%"
+        onerror="console.warn('CM6 not available — falling back to textarea')"></script>
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="vendor/codemirror/codemirror.bundle.css?v=%%APP_VERSION%%"
+      onerror="this.remove()">
+```
+
+**Graceful degradation:** If the bundle fails to load (disconnected environment without vendored copy, build issue, etc.), `window.CM` is undefined and all integration points fall back to plain `<textarea>`. Each factory callsite checks:
+
+```javascript
+if (window.CM) {
+    CM.chatInput(container, opts);
+} else {
+    // existing textarea behavior — unchanged
+}
+```
+
+This means CM6 is a progressive enhancement, not a hard dependency.
+
+---
+
+## SW Cache Considerations
+
+Add `vendor/codemirror/` to the SW exclusion list (same fix as the extensions path discussed earlier):
+
+```javascript
+if (url.pathname.includes('/api/') ||
+    url.pathname.includes('/ws') ||
+    url.pathname.includes('/branding/') ||
+    url.pathname.includes('/extensions/') ||
+    url.pathname.includes('/vendor/codemirror/') ||
+    event.request.method !== 'GET') {
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+Or, more broadly, exclude all of `/vendor/` if you want vendor updates to always bypass the SW cache. The core vendors (marked, purify) are small enough that network-first is fine.
+
+Alternatively, since the bundle is versioned via `?v=%%APP_VERSION%%` and only changes on new builds, it could safely be in `SHELL_FILES` for precaching — unlike extensions which are user-editable at runtime. Either approach works.
+
+---
+
+## Theme Integration
+
+CM6's `oneDark` theme for dark mode. For light mode, the CM6 default is clean and neutral.
+
+Both need CSS variable overrides to match the app's existing `--bg`, `--bg-2`, `--border`, `--text`, `--accent` palette:
+
+```javascript
+const switchboardTheme = EditorView.theme({
+    '&': {
+        backgroundColor: 'var(--bg)',
+        color: 'var(--text)',
+        fontSize: '14px',
+    },
+    '.cm-content': {
+        fontFamily: 'var(--mono)',
+        caretColor: 'var(--accent)',
+    },
+    '.cm-cursor': {
+        borderLeftColor: 'var(--accent)',
+    },
+    '&.cm-focused .cm-selectionBackground, .cm-selectionBackground': {
+        backgroundColor: 'var(--accent-muted, rgba(99,102,241,0.2))',
+    },
+    '.cm-gutters': {
+        backgroundColor: 'var(--bg-2)',
+        color: 'var(--text-3)',
+        borderRight: '1px solid var(--border)',
+    },
+}, { dark: document.body.classList.contains('dark-theme') });
+```
+
+This goes into the bundle so it's applied automatically.
+
+---
+
+## File Layout
+
+```
+src/
+  editor/
+    package.json          # CM6 deps + esbuild
+    build.mjs             # esbuild script
+    index.mjs             # bundle entrypoint, exports window.CM
+    theme.mjs             # switchboard theme overrides
+    chat-input.mjs        # chatInput() factory
+    code-editor.mjs       # codeEditor() factory
+  js/
+    ...                   # existing app code (unchanged)
+  vendor/
+    marked.min.js         # existing
+    purify.min.js         # existing
+    codemirror/           # gitignored — built by Docker
+      codemirror.bundle.js
+      codemirror.bundle.css
+```
+
+The `src/editor/` directory is self-contained. It has its own `package.json` and `node_modules` (inside Docker only). No npm dependencies bleed into the main `src/js/` code. The build output lands in `vendor/codemirror/` which is gitignored like the other Docker-built vendors.
+
+---
+
+## Dockerfile Changes
+
+```dockerfile
+# Stage 1: vendor libs (existing)
+FROM node:20-alpine AS vendor
+# ... existing marked, purify, mermaid, katex extraction ...
+
+# Stage 2: CM6 bundle (NEW)
+FROM node:20-alpine AS cm6-build
+WORKDIR /build
+COPY src/editor/ ./
+RUN npm ci
+RUN node build.mjs
+
+# Stage 3: nginx (existing, with additions)
+FROM nginx:1-alpine
+# ... existing setup ...
+COPY src/ /usr/share/nginx/html/
+COPY --from=vendor /vendor/ /usr/share/nginx/html/vendor/
+COPY --from=cm6-build /build/dist/ /usr/share/nginx/html/vendor/codemirror/
+# ... rest unchanged ...
+```
+
+The `vendor` and `cm6-build` stages run in parallel (Docker BuildKit), so build time impact is minimal.

+- [ ] Update `debug.js` snapshot to include CM6 version
+- [ ] Documentation in ARCHITECTURE.md
+

+
+## Bundle Size Estimate
+
+Based on CM6 package sizes (minified + tree-shaken by esbuild):
+
+| Package | Approx Size |
+|---------|-------------|
+| @codemirror/view + state + commands | ~90KB |
+| @codemirror/language + highlight | ~30KB |
+| lang-markdown + lang-javascript + lang-json | ~40KB |
+| lang-go + lang-sql + lang-html + lang-css + lang-yaml | ~50KB |
+| lang-python + lang-rust | ~20KB |
+| theme-one-dark | ~5KB |
+| search + autocomplete | ~20KB |
+| @replit/codemirror-vim + emacs | ~40KB |
+| **Total (minified)** | **~295KB** |
+| **Gzipped** | **~90KB** |
+
+For comparison: mermaid.min.js is ~1.2MB. This is modest.
+
+---
+
+## Resolved Decisions
+
+1. **Language modes** — Ship Python, Rust, and YAML upfront alongside Go, JS, JSON, SQL, HTML, CSS, and Markdown. Covers the team's stack. Additional modes are a one-line import + rebuild.
+
+2. **Local dev build script** — Provide a `scripts/build-editor.sh` that runs the esbuild step standalone, shared by both Dockerfile.frontend and the unified Dockerfile. Developers can also run it locally to get the CM6 bundle without a full Docker build.
+
+3. **Vim/Emacs keybindings** — Ship both. Exposed as a user preference toggle (default: standard). Applied via `CM.keybindings.vim` / `CM.keybindings.emacs` as CM6 extensions at editor creation time.
+
+---
+
+## Build Script
+
+Shared script used by both Dockerfiles and local dev:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/sh
+# scripts/build-editor.sh — Build CM6 bundle
+# Usage: ./scripts/build-editor.sh [output-dir]
+#
+# Defaults to src/vendor/codemirror/ for local dev.
+# Dockerfiles pass /build/dist/ as the output dir.
+set -e
+
+SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"
+EDITOR_DIR="${SCRIPT_DIR}/../src/editor"
+OUTPUT_DIR="${1:-${SCRIPT_DIR}/../src/vendor/codemirror}"
+
+cd "${EDITOR_DIR}"
+
+# Install if needed (CI/Docker will already have node_modules)
+[ -d node_modules ] || npm ci
+
+mkdir -p "${OUTPUT_DIR}"
+node build.mjs --outdir="${OUTPUT_DIR}"
+
+echo "✅ CM6 bundle → ${OUTPUT_DIR}"
+```
+
+Dockerfile usage:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM node:20-alpine AS cm6-build
+WORKDIR /build
+COPY src/editor/ /build/src/editor/
+COPY scripts/build-editor.sh /build/scripts/build-editor.sh
+RUN cd /build/src/editor && npm ci
+RUN sh /build/scripts/build-editor.sh /build/dist
+```
+
+---
+
+## Keybinding Preference
+
+Add to user appearance preferences (alongside dark/light theme toggle):
+
+```
+Editor keybindings: [Standard ▾] [Vim] [Emacs]
+```
+
+Stored in `localStorage` under `cs-appearance`:
+
+```javascript
+const prefs = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('cs-appearance') || '{}');
+// prefs.editorKeymap = 'standard' | 'vim' | 'emacs'
+```
+
+Applied at editor creation time:
+
+```javascript
+const keymapExt = [];
+if (prefs.editorKeymap === 'vim') keymapExt.push(CM.keybindings.vim());
+else if (prefs.editorKeymap === 'emacs') keymapExt.push(CM.keybindings.emacs());
+
+CM.codeEditor(target, {
+    language: 'javascript',
+    extensions: keymapExt,
+    // ...
+});
+```
+
+**Note:** Vim/Emacs modes apply only to the code editor and extension editor surfaces. The chat input always uses standard keybindings to avoid confusing Enter-to-send behavior with modal editing.

-## ✅ v0.9.0 — Schema Consolidation + BYOK
+## Completed Releases
 
-The "rewrite" release: 21 migrations collapsed to 1, store layer abstraction,
-and the model pipeline made real for end users.

-**Schema & Architecture**
-- [x] Consolidated schema (21 migrations → single 001_initial.sql)
-- [x] Store layer abstraction (all DB via typed interfaces, no raw SQL in handlers)
-- [x] Persona-as-trust-boundary model (replaces old presets concept)
-- [x] Scope model (global/team/personal) for configs, personas, models
-- [x] Backward-compatible API routes (v0.8 → v0.9 field aliases)
+### ✅ v0.9.0 — Schema Consolidation + BYOK
+21 migrations → single schema, store layer abstraction, persona-as-trust-boundary,
+BYOK with auto-fetch, composite model IDs, journey integration tests.
 
-**Capabilities System**
-- [x] Two-tier resolution: catalog (provider API, per-provider) → heuristic inference
-- [x] Venice provider: full capability mapping incl. `optimizedForCode`
-- [x] `ResolveIntrinsic` with gap-fill merging (catalog authoritative, heuristic fills gaps)
-- [x] Preset capability inheritance via `GetByModelIDAny` fallback
+### ✅ v0.9.1 — Capability Architecture + Docs
+Removed static known model table. Resolution chain: catalog → heuristic only.
+Frontend relies solely on backend for capabilities. Docs rewrite.

-## ✅ v0.9.1 — Capability Architecture + Docs
-
-- [x] Removed static known model table (same model ≠ same capabilities across providers)
-- [x] Resolution chain: catalog → heuristic only, no hardcoded table
-- [x] Frontend KNOWN_MODELS removed — backend is sole source of truth
-- [x] Heuristic patterns expanded (qwen3, gpt-5, grok, kimi, minimax, glm-5, gemma-3)
-- [x] All providers updated to use `InferCapabilities()` directly
-- [x] EXTENSIONS.md recovered and updated with Appendix A (Custom Renderers)
-  and Appendix B (Model Roles)
-- [x] ROADMAP.md, CHANGELOG.md, README.md comprehensive rewrite
-
----
-
-## ✅ v0.9.2 — Quick UX Wins + Hardening
-
-Polish that doesn't need new infrastructure. Ship fast, stabilize.
-
-**UX**
-- [x] Collapsible code blocks (long outputs get `<details>` wrapper)
-- [x] HTML preview for generated content (sandboxed iframe toggle)
-- [x] Token count estimate in input area (before send)
-- [x] "Conversation is getting long" warning (context % thresholds)
-- [x] New switchboard panel favicon (animated SVG + PNG + ICO)
-
-**Hardening**

-- [x] Environment injection to frontend (`window.__ENV__`)
-- [x] Enhanced debug diagnostics (NET:PROXY log type, Content-Type capture, env info)
-- [x] Team admin audit scoping (see only their team's audit entries)
-
----
-
-## ✅ v0.9.3 — Content Visibility & Block Controls
-
-User control over what's expanded/collapsed in the message flow. Thinking
-blocks, tool calls, and code blocks all get consistent collapse controls
-instead of being hidden or auto-formatted without user agency.
-
-**Code Blocks**
-- [x] Collapse/expand toggle button on code block header (alongside Copy/Preview)
-- [x] Auto-collapse at threshold (>15 lines), user can always toggle
-- [x] Smooth max-height transition instead of `<details>` wrapping
-
-**Thinking Blocks**
-- [x] Always render thinking blocks (never hide from DOM)
-- [x] `showThinking` setting controls default open/closed (default: false), not visibility
-- [x] User can always click to expand regardless of setting
-- [x] `reasoning_content` delta field support for models that stream thinking separately (Grok, etc.)
-- [x] Reasoning accumulated during streaming, wrapped in `<think>` tags before persistence
-
-**Tool Calls**
-- [x] Persist tool call metadata in stored messages (`tool_calls` JSONB column)
-- [x] Render tool calls on history load (not just during streaming)
-- [x] Collapsed by default: "🔧 tool_name → done" with toggle for full I/O
-- [x] Notes tool: "📝 View note" link that navigates to Notes panel
-- [x] Tool result rendering fix (operator precedence bug showing "undefined results")
-
-**Notes Panel → Side Panel**
-- [x] Copy button on note cards (same pattern as code block copy)
-- [x] Unified side panel replaces inline HTML preview and notes modal
-- [x] Tabbed interface: Preview and Notes tabs
-- [x] Desktop: slides in from right (480px), chat area shrinks via flexbox
-- [x] Mobile: full-width overlay at z-index 200
-- [x] Escape key integration (generation → command palette → side panel → modals)
-
-**Streaming Refactor**
-- [x] Extracted `streamWithToolLoop()` into `stream_loop.go` as single canonical streaming implementation
-- [x] Both `streamCompletion` (normal chat) and `Regenerate` call shared function — only persistence differs
-- [x] Regenerate handler now has full feature parity: tools, reasoning, tool_calls persistence
-- [x] Fixed nil `json.RawMessage` causing PostgreSQL JSONB rejection on regen persistence
-
-**Regenerate Fix**
-- [x] Regen streams in-place (truncates display to parent before streaming)
-- [x] No more "collapse to original branch" after completion
-
-**Favicon**
-- [x] Animated SVG favicon during generation (cascading opacity pulse on 4 dots)
-
-**Admin Scope**
-- [x] Admin models endpoint returns only global-scope models (not user BYOK or team models)
-- [x] Bulk visibility toggle scoped to global providers only
-

-
-## ✅ v0.9.4 — API Key Encryption + Vault
-
-Two-tier encryption with a trust boundary between organizational keys (admin-
-accessible) and personal BYOK keys (user-only). Personal keys are protected
-by a per-user encryption key (UEK) that the platform admin cannot recover
-without the user's passphrase.
-
-### Threat Model
-
-| Threat | Global/Team keys | Personal BYOK keys |
-|--------|-----------------|---------------------|
-| DB backup theft | ✅ Protected (env-var AES) | ✅ Protected (UEK AES) |
-| SQL injection exfil | ✅ Protected | ✅ Protected |
-| Admin reads DB directly | ⚠️ Admin can decrypt (owns env var) | ✅ Admin cannot decrypt (lacks user passphrase) |
-| Admin modifies server code | ⚠️ Out of scope (runtime access) | ⚠️ Out of scope (runtime access) |
-
-### Crypto Design
-
-**Two encryption paths, one mechanism (AES-256-GCM):**
-
-1. **Global/Team keys** — encrypted with a key derived from `ENCRYPTION_KEY`
-   env var. Admin-owned, admin-recoverable. Simple.
-
-2. **Personal keys** — encrypted with a per-user **User Encryption Key (UEK)**.
-   The UEK is a random 256-bit key generated at account creation, itself
-   encrypted with a key derived from the user's password via Argon2id.
-
-```
-Password → Argon2id(salt) → Password-Derived Key (PDK)
-PDK → AES-256-GCM-Decrypt(encrypted_uek) → UEK (plaintext, session-only)
-UEK → AES-256-GCM-Decrypt(api_key_enc) → API key (plaintext, per-request)
-```
-
-The UEK lives in server memory for the duration of the session (alongside the
-JWT). It is never written to disk, logs, or the database in plaintext.
-
-### Schema Changes (migration)
-
-```sql
--- Users: vault support
-ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN encrypted_uek  BYTEA;
-ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN uek_salt       BYTEA;    -- Argon2id salt
-ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN uek_nonce      BYTEA;    -- GCM nonce for UEK wrap
-ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN vault_set      BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT false;
-
--- API configs: encrypted key storage
-ALTER TABLE api_configs ADD COLUMN api_key_enc  BYTEA;
-ALTER TABLE api_configs ADD COLUMN key_nonce    BYTEA;
-ALTER TABLE api_configs ADD COLUMN key_scope    TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'global';
--- key_scope: 'global' | 'team' | 'personal'
--- global/team: decrypt with env-var-derived key
--- personal:    decrypt with user's UEK
-
--- Team providers: same pattern
-ALTER TABLE team_providers ADD COLUMN api_key_enc  BYTEA;
-ALTER TABLE team_providers ADD COLUMN key_nonce    BYTEA;
-```
-
-Migration backfills: encrypt existing plaintext keys using the env var key
-(all existing keys are global/team scope). Drop plaintext `api_key` column
-after backfill. If `ENCRYPTION_KEY` is not set, migration refuses to run
-(fail-safe).
-
-### Auth Mode Integration
-
-**Builtin auth** — password serves double duty: authentication + UEK
-derivation. No additional UX. On login, derive PDK → unwrap UEK → cache
-in session. User never knows the vault exists.
-
-**mTLS / OIDC** (v0.24.0) — authentication is external (cert/token).
-Vault passphrase is conditionally required:
-
-```
-External auth → auto-authenticated
-  ├── Personal providers DISABLED → straight to app, no prompt
-  └── Personal providers ENABLED
-        ├── First visit  → "Set a vault passphrase to protect your API keys"
-        └── Returning    → "Unlock your vault" (passphrase field, pre-filled username)
-```
-
-Terminology: **"vault passphrase"** for mTLS/OIDC users (distinct from their
-non-existent account password). Builtin auth users never see this term.
-
-### Backend Implementation
-
-**`server/crypto/vault.go`** — pure encryption/decryption, no DB awareness:
-- `DeriveKey(password, salt) → key` (Argon2id, 64MB memory, 3 iterations)
-- `GenerateUEK() → (uek, error)` (crypto/rand, 32 bytes)
-- `WrapUEK(uek, pdk) → (ciphertext, nonce, error)`
-- `UnwrapUEK(ciphertext, nonce, pdk) → (uek, error)`
-- `Encrypt(plaintext, key) → (ciphertext, nonce, error)`
-- `Decrypt(ciphertext, nonce, key) → (plaintext, error)`
-- `DeriveEnvKey(envVar) → key` (HKDF-SHA256 with domain separation context)
-
-**Session UEK caching** — UEK stored in a sync.Map keyed by user ID, evicted
-on logout / token expiry. Completion handler retrieves UEK from cache to
-decrypt personal provider keys at request time.
-
-**Provider resolution** — `key_scope` determines decryption path:
-```go
-func (s *Store) DecryptAPIKey(config ApiConfig, uekCache *sync.Map) (string, error) {
-    switch config.KeyScope {
-    case "global", "team":
-        return crypto.Decrypt(config.APIKeyEnc, config.KeyNonce, envDerivedKey)
-    case "personal":
-        uek, ok := uekCache.Load(config.UserID)
-        if !ok { return "", ErrVaultLocked }
-        return crypto.Decrypt(config.APIKeyEnc, config.KeyNonce, uek.([]byte))
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Edge Cases
-
-| Scenario | Behavior |
-|----------|----------|
-| **User changes password** (builtin) | Re-derive PDK, re-encrypt UEK with new PDK. Personal API keys unchanged (keyed to UEK, not password). |
-| **Admin resets user password** | Old UEK unrecoverable. Personal keys destroyed. Admin UI warns before confirming. |
-| **mTLS user forgets passphrase** | Self-service reset: destroys encrypted personal keys. UX: "This will erase your stored API keys." |
-| **Admin disables personal providers** | Keys stay encrypted in DB (inert). Re-enable later → keys accessible if user remembers passphrase. |
-| **`ENCRYPTION_KEY` not set** | Startup refuses to run if encrypted keys exist in DB. Fresh install: keys stored plaintext with deprecation warning in logs + admin panel. |
-| **`ENCRYPTION_KEY` rotated** | Admin CLI tool: `switchboard vault rekey` — re-encrypts all global/team keys with new env key. Personal keys unaffected (keyed to UEK). |
-
-### Frontend Changes
-
-- Provider management (Settings → Providers): no change to UX for builtin auth
-- mTLS/OIDC splash: conditional vault passphrase prompt (new component)
-- Admin → Users → Reset Password: warning dialog about personal key destruction
-- Admin → Settings: indicator for `ENCRYPTION_KEY` status (set / not set)

-- [x] Backend k8s manifest: optional `secretKeyRef` for `ENCRYPTION_KEY`
-- [x] Pipeline version bump to v0.9.4
-
-**Security fix (bonus)**
-- [x] DOMPurify: strict `ALLOWED_TAGS` allowlist (was permissive `ADD_TAGS` default)
-- [x] Think-block placeholder `\n\n` padding (prevents fence fusion with `</think>`)
-- [x] Unclosed code fence auto-close before `marked.parse` (streaming protection)
-

-
-## ✅ v0.10.0 — Model Roles + Usage Tracking + Vault Debt
-
-Three tracks of infrastructure that everything downstream depends on.
-
-**Vault Debt (Security Fixes)**
-- [x] UEK re-wrap on user password change (prevents permanent key loss)
-- [x] UEK destruction on admin password reset (vault + personal BYOK keys deleted)
-- [x] Admin UI: password reset confirmation with vault destruction warning
-- [x] Audit logging for vault destruction events
-
-**Model Roles** (see [EXTENSIONS.md Appendix B](EXTENSIONS.md#appendix-b-model-roles))
-- [x] `model_roles` in global_settings: named slots (utility, embedding, generation)
-- [x] Each role: primary provider+model, optional fallback provider+model
-- [x] Team-level role overrides (team.settings JSONB)
-- [x] `Provider.Embed()` interface — OpenAI/Venice/OpenRouter implement, Anthropic returns `ErrNotSupported`
-- [x] `roles.Resolver` package: `Complete()` + `Embed()` with automatic fallback
-- [x] Admin API: `GET/PUT /admin/roles/:role`, `POST /admin/roles/:role/test`
-- [x] Team API: `GET/PUT/DELETE /teams/:id/roles/:role`
-- [x] Admin UI: role configuration tab (select provider + model per role, test fire)
-
-**Usage Tracking**
-- [x] Streaming token capture fix — OpenAI: `stream_options.include_usage` + parse usage chunk;
-      Anthropic: parse `message_start`/`message_delta` usage events
-- [x] Cache token fields across all types (`CompletionResponse`, `StreamEvent`, `streamResult`)
-- [x] `usage_log` table: channel_id, user_id, model_id, provider_config_id,
-      role, token counts (prompt, completion, cache_creation, cache_read), cost, timestamp
-- [x] `model_pricing` table: provider+model, input/output/cache per-M, source (catalog/manual)
-- [x] Cost calculated at insert time (baked, not query-time)
-- [x] BYOK exclusion: admin views filter `provider_scope != 'personal'`, BYOK gets separate endpoint
-- [x] Model pricing from catalog sync (won't overwrite manual overrides)
-- [x] Admin API: `GET /admin/usage`, `GET /admin/usage/users/:id`, `GET /admin/usage/teams/:id`
-- [x] Admin API: `GET/PUT/DELETE /admin/pricing`
-- [x] User API: `GET /usage` (personal usage summary)
-- [x] Admin UI: usage dashboard (period selector, group-by, totals cards, breakdown table, pricing table)
-- [x] Team admin UI: usage dashboard for team-owned providers (`GET /teams/:teamId/usage`)
-- [x] Token accumulation across multi-tool-call iterations in `stream_loop.go`
-
-**Schema (migration 004)**
-- [x] `usage_log` with indexes on user, created_at, provider, model, scope
-- [x] `model_pricing` with unique constraint on (provider_config_id, model_id)
-- [x] `model_roles` seed in global_settings
-
----
-
-## ✅ v0.10.1 — Polish + UX
-
-Spit and polish release: admin system prompt injection, team management modal
-extraction, persona tab, side panel enhancements, code download, and critical
-OpenAI streaming usage race fix.
-
-- [x] Admin system prompt (global, injected before user/preset prompts)
-- [x] Personas tab (moved from Models, policy-gated)
-- [x] Team Management modal (extracted from Settings, tabbed, multi-team picker)
-- [x] Preview pane: clear button, fullscreen toggle, resizable
-- [x] Code block: download button (infers extension from language tag)
-- [x] Personal Usage scoped to BYOK only
-- [x] OpenAI streaming usage race fix (deferred Done event until usage chunk)
-- [x] Usage logging zero-token guard removal
-
----
-
-## v0.10.2 — Summarize & Continue + Role Cleanup ✅
-
-First consumer of the utility model role. User-triggered conversation
-compaction — not automatic (that's v0.15.0).
-
-Depends on: utility model role (v0.10.0).
-
-**Summarize & Continue**
-- [x] "Summarize and continue" button in context warning bar (≥75% context)
-- [x] `POST /channels/:id/summarize` — calls utility role with conversation history
-- [x] Summary inserted as tree node with `metadata.type = "summary"` + boundary metadata
-- [x] `loadConversation` recognizes summary boundaries: replaces pre-summary messages with summary system message
-- [x] Multiple summaries stack (re-summarize after context fills again)
-- [x] Fork-aware: summary is a tree node, branches have independent boundaries
-- [x] Original messages preserved: "show full history" toggle reveals collapsed messages
-- [x] Usage logged against utility role with cost tracking
-
-**BYOK Role Overrides**
-- [x] Personal role resolution chain: personal → team → global
-- [x] User Settings → Model Roles tab (BYOK providers only)
-- [x] Stored in `user.settings` JSONB (`model_roles` key, same shape as team overrides)
-- [x] Only utility and embedding roles (generation removed)
-
-**Generation Role Removal**
-- [x] `RoleGeneration` removed from `ValidRoles` (was "generation" for image/media)
-- [x] Removed from admin Roles tab UI
-- [x] Image gen will be extension-managed (v0.11.0), not a role slot
-
-**Utility Rate Limiting**
-- [x] `utility_rate_limit` global setting (default: 20 calls/hour/user, 0 = unlimited)
-- [x] Check against `usage_log` before executing org-funded utility calls
-- [x] BYOK calls exempt (user's own key, user's own cost)
-- [x] 429 response with clear message when exceeded

-
-## v0.10.3 — Frontend Refactor ✅
-
-Zero features. Split the two monolith frontend files (app.js 2,940 lines,
-ui.js 2,582 lines) into 13 domain-scoped files averaging ~544 lines each.
-Vanilla JS, no modules, no build step, no function renaming.
-
-See [REFACTOR-0.10.3.md](REFACTOR-0.10.3.md) for full plan.
-
-- [x] Extract `ui-format.js` — markdown, code blocks, `esc()`, helpers
-- [x] Extract `ui-settings.js` — settings tabs, teams, providers, user prefs
-- [x] Extract `ui-admin.js` — admin modal tabs, all admin rendering
-- [x] Extract `tokens.js` — context tracking, token estimation
-- [x] Extract `notes.js` — notes panel, editor, multi-select
-- [x] Extract `chat.js` — chat ops, send, regen, edit, branch, summarize
-- [x] Extract `settings-handlers.js` — settings save, provider CRUD, cmd palette
-- [x] Extract `admin-handlers.js` — admin actions, presets, team management
-- [x] Slim `app.js` to orchestrator — state, init, boot, auth, listener dispatch
-- [x] Update `sw.js` SHELL_FILES, `index.html` script tags
-- [x] All 159+ frontend tests pass, `node --check` on all files
-
----
-
-## v0.10.4 — Model Type Pipeline + Role Fixes ✅
-
-Provider APIs report model types (chat, embedding, image) — now captured
-end-to-end through sync → catalog → resolver → frontend. Role dropdowns
-filter models by type instead of showing everything.
-
-- [x] Migration `005_model_type.sql` — `model_catalog.model_type` column
-- [x] `providers.Model.Type` — captured from provider wire response
-- [x] Venice: reads `type` field, normalizes (`text`→`chat`, `embedding`→`embedding`)
-- [x] OpenAI: wire struct extended with optional `type` for compatible APIs
-- [x] `CatalogSyncEntry.ModelType` → `CatalogEntry.ModelType` → `UserModel.ModelType`
-- [x] Frontend `model_type` mapped through `fetchModels()`
-- [x] Admin role dropdowns: filter by `model_type` matching role
-- [x] User role dropdowns: filter by `model_type` matching role
-- [x] `adminSaveRole()` reloads UI after save (was showing "Saved" without refresh)
-
----
-
-## v0.10.5 — UI Primitives + Extension Surfaces ✅
-
-Consolidate duplicated UI patterns into shared primitives with extension-ready
-interfaces. Pre-extension infrastructure: the primitives we build now become
-the `ctx.*` extension API surface in v0.11.0 with no rewrite needed.
-
-- [x] `Providers` registry — single source of truth for types, labels, endpoints
-- [x] `Roles` registry — names, type filters, hints
-- [x] `renderCapBadges()` — consolidates 3 badge builders (compact + detailed modes)
-- [x] `renderProviderForm()` — replaces 3 form implementations, dual-mode create/edit
-- [x] `renderProviderList()` — replaces 3 list renderers, event delegation
-- [x] `renderRoleConfig()` — replaces 2 role UIs + 4 handlers
-- [x] `renderUsageDashboard()` — replaces 3 usage renderers (compact + full)
-- [x] Admin provider form gets endpoint auto-fill (was missing)
-- [x] Team provider form consolidated from 2 separate forms to 1 dual-mode
-- [x] Removed ~360 lines of duplicated code + ~40 lines of static HTML
-- [x] `showConfirm()` — styled confirm dialog replacing all 16 native `confirm()` calls
-- [x] `.popup-menu` shared CSS + `createPopupMenu()` primitive for consistent menus
-- [x] Sidebar collapse icon always visible (dimmed), brightens on hover
-
----
-
-## ✅ v0.11.0 — Extension Foundation (Browser Tier)
-
-The platform play. See [EXTENSIONS.md](EXTENSIONS.md) for full spec.
-
-**Core Loader** (EXTENSIONS.md §4, §7)
-- [x] `extensions.js` — loader, registry, scoped context, renderer pipeline (~400 lines)
-- [x] `Extensions.register()` API with permission-aware scoped contexts
-- [x] Manifest format: `_script` inline or `entry` file, permissions, settings schema
-- [x] `extensions` + `extension_user_settings` tables (migration 006)

-- [x] Auto-seeder: scans `extensions/builtin/*/` on startup, upserts manifests
-- [x] Admin Extensions tab with Edit button (view/modify manifest + script inline)
-
-**Browser Tool Bridge** (EXTENSIONS.md §5)
-- [x] `ctx.tools.handle()` API for browser tool registration
-- [x] Tool schema collection: merge server + extension tools in completions
-- [x] `tool.call.*` / `tool.result.*` WebSocket routing via EventBus hub

-- [x] Renderer pipeline: block renderers intercept code fences, post renderers process DOM
-- [x] Case-insensitive language matching (LLMs capitalize fence tags)
-- [x] Nested ```` ```markdown ```` fence unwrapping (LLMs wrap responses in markdown fences)
-- [x] Extension-owned styles via `_injectStyles()` / `destroy()` lifecycle
-
-**Server Tools** (auto-registered via `init()`)
-- [x] `datetime` — current date/time/timezone/day/unix/ISO-week (models hallucinate dates)
-- [x] `calculator` — recursive-descent evaluator: arithmetic, 17 functions, constants
-
-**Built-in Browser Extensions** (6 total, self-contained with own CSS)
-- [x] **Mermaid** — block + post renderer, SVG diagrams, dark mode, local vendor + CDN fallback
-- [x] **KaTeX** — block renderer (` ```latex/math/tex ```) + post renderer (inline `$...$` / `$$...$$`)
-- [x] **CSV Table** — block renderer, RFC 4180 parser, sortable columns, numeric-aware sorting
-- [x] **Diff Viewer** — block renderer, red/green syntax highlighting, stats badge
-- [x] **JS Sandbox** — browser tool (`js_eval`), sandboxed iframe, 10s timeout, console capture
-- [x] **Regex Tester** — browser tool (`regex_test`), multi-input matching, named groups
-
-**Bugfixes**
-- [x] WebSocket token field mismatch (`tokens.access` → `tokens.accessToken`)
-- [x] Extension asset 401 (moved asset route to public group — `<script>` tags can't send auth headers)
-- [x] `runExtensionPostRender is not defined` (stale SW cache, added `typeof` guard)
-- [x] Extension init order (moved `loadAll()`/`initAll()` before `loadChats()`)
-- [x] K8s Ingress WebSocket routing (`pathType: Exact` → `Prefix` for Traefik longest-prefix-wins)
-- [x] Notes missing post-render call (mermaid/KaTeX wouldn't render in note view)
-
-**Diagnostics**
-- [x] Test 5: Browser extensions (loaded count, active/inactive, renderers, tool handlers)
-- [x] Test 6: Service Worker cache (registration, scope, state, cache names, entry counts)
-- [x] Purge Cache button in Debug Log modal (deletes all SW caches, unregisters workers)
-

-
-## v0.12.0 — File Handling + Vision
-
-File input into chat — table stakes for serious use.
-
-**Storage Backend**
-- [x] S3-compatible API (MinIO, Ceph RGW, AWS — anything with S3 API)
-- [x] Local PVC backend (single-node / dev)
-- [x] Admin config: backend health status, orphan cleanup panel
-- [x] Reused by KBs (v0.14.0) and compaction snapshots (v0.15.0)
-

-- [x] Image lightbox viewer
-- [x] Vision capability hints on image attachments
-- [ ] Document generation output storage (extension → attachment → download)
-
----
-
-## v0.13.0 — Admin Panel Refactor
-
-The admin modal has grown to 12 tabs in a horizontal overflow strip. Adding
-search provider config, KB management, and workflow settings would make it
-worse. Replace the modal with a fullscreen admin panel.
-
-Depends on: nothing (frontend-only, no API changes).
-
-**Layout** (modeled after Open WebUI's admin panel):
-- Fullscreen overlay (or `/admin` route) replaces the modal
-- Top bar: 4 category tabs (horizontal)
-- Left sidebar: section tabs within the active category
-- Main content: full viewport width for the active section
-
-**Category → Section mapping:**
-
-| Category | Sections | Current tabs absorbed |
-|----------|----------|---------------------|
-| **People** | Users, Teams | Users, Teams |
-| **AI** | Providers, Models, Personas, Roles | Providers, Models, Presets, Roles |
-| **System** | Settings, Storage, Extensions | Settings, Storage, Extensions |
-| **Monitoring** | Usage, Audit, Stats | Usage, Audit, Stats |
-
-- [x] Fullscreen admin layout: top categories + left sidebar sections
-- [x] Migrate all 12 existing tab contents into new layout (no API changes)
-- [x] Category → section routing with URL hash or state (e.g. `#admin/ai/models`)
-- [x] Responsive: sidebar collapses on narrow viewports
-- [x] Keyboard shortcut: `Esc` returns to chat
-- [x] Admin button in sidebar opens fullscreen panel (replaces modal trigger)
-- [ ] Remove old `adminModal` HTML + CSS
-- [x] Preserve all existing `loadAdmin*()` functions — new layout calls same loaders
-- [x] Roles moved from People → AI category
-- [x] Presets → Personas label rename (UI only, API/data unchanged)
-- [x] Banner-aware: admin panel respects `--banner-top/bottom-height`
-- [x] CSS design token cleanup: ghost variables, hardcoded colors → tokens
-- [x] Global form element theming (bare selects/inputs inherit theme)
-- [x] Zoom scaling: admin panel + side panel respect appearance slider
-- [x] CI fix: `TruncateAll()` includes `platform_policies` + `global_config`

-
-## v0.13.1 — Web Search + URL Fetch
-
-Built-in tools that extend the tool framework shipped in v0.11.0.
-Admin configuration lives in the new admin panel (System → Settings or AI → Providers).
-
-Depends on: admin panel refactor (v0.13.0) for config UI, tool framework (v0.11.0).
-
-**Search provider abstraction:**
-- [x] `SearchProvider` interface: `Search(ctx, query, maxResults) → []SearchResult`
-- [x] DuckDuckGo provider (no API key required — default, works out of the box)
-- [x] SearXNG provider (self-hosted, fits airgapped story, configurable endpoint)
-- [x] Admin config: select active provider, set endpoint/API key, result count
-- [x] Provider config stored in `global_config` as `search_config` key
-- [x] Runtime apply on save (no restart required) + load on startup
-
-**Tools:**
-- [x] `web_search` tool: calls active search provider, returns title + snippet + URL
-- [x] `url_fetch` tool: HTTP GET + content extraction (HTML→text, SSRF protection)
-- [x] Results injected into context as tool results (existing tool framework handles this)
-- [ ] Rate limiting / concurrency control per-provider
-
-**Tool categories + toggle:**
-- [x] `ToolDef.Category` field: search, notes, utilities, browser
-- [x] `disabled_tools[]` per-request filtering (completion + regen + edit paths)
-- [x] `GET /api/v1/tools` endpoint: returns `[{name, description, category}]`
-- [x] Chat-bar tools toggle popup: category-level enable/disable
-- [x] localStorage persistence of disabled state
-- [x] `ToolDef.DisplayName` field: human-readable name for UI (e.g. "Search" not "web_search")
-- [x] Sub-menu per category: expand-in-place to show individual tools
-- [x] Tri-state category checkbox: all on / all off / indeterminate (partial)
-- [x] Per-tool toggle within categories (child checkboxes)
-
-**Future providers** (abstraction supports but not in v0.13.1):
-- Brave Search (API key), Tavily, Kagi, SerpAPI, Google PSE
-
----
-
-## v0.14.0 — Knowledge Bases
-
-RAG for Switchboard. Upload documents into named knowledge bases, chunk
-and embed via the embedding model role, store vectors in pgvector, and
-a `kb_search` tool lets the LLM pull relevant context at completion time.
-
-Depends on: embedding model role (v0.10.0), file storage (v0.12.0),
-tool framework (v0.11.0), admin panel (v0.13.0).
-See [DESIGN-0.14.0.md](DESIGN-0.14.0.md) for full spec.
-
-**Pre-Req: Embedding Dropdown Fix**
-- [ ] Tolerant type filter in `renderRoleConfig()` (include untyped models for embedding role)
-- [ ] Manual model ID entry fallback (pencil toggle: dropdown ↔ text input)
-- [ ] Auto-switch to manual entry when dropdown has zero options
-
-**Phase 1: Schema + Chunker**
-- [x] Migration `008_knowledge_bases.sql` (pgvector extension + tables)
-- [x] `pgvector-go` dependency in `go.mod`
-- [x] `knowledge/chunker.go` — recursive text splitter (configurable size/overlap/separators)
-- [x] `knowledge/chunker_test.go`
-- [x] `KnowledgeBase`, `KBDocument`, `KBChunk`, `KBSearchResult`, `ChannelKB` model types
-- [x] `KnowledgeBaseStore` interface + postgres implementation (CRUD, no vector ops yet)
-- [x] Wire `Stores.KnowledgeBases` in `main.go`
-
-**Phase 2: Ingestion Pipeline**
-- [x] `knowledge/embedder.go` — batch embed via role resolver (batches of 100)
-- [x] `knowledge/ingest.go` — orchestrator (extract → chunk → embed → store)
-- [x] Dimension normalization (zero-pad to 3072 column width)
-- [x] `handlers/knowledge_bases.go` — KB CRUD + document upload endpoints
-- [x] Async ingestion goroutine with semaphore(3) concurrency limit
-- [x] Document status polling endpoint
-- [x] `SimilaritySearch()` in store (pgvector cosine query)
-- [x] Admin panel: AI → Knowledge Bases section
-- [x] IVFFlat index creation
-
-**Phase 3: kb_search Tool + Channel Integration**
-- [x] `tools/kbsearch.go` — `kb_search` tool (closure injection, late registration)
-- [x] `channel_knowledge_bases` — per-channel KB toggle
-- [x] System prompt KB hint injection in completion handler
-- [x] KB toggle popup in chat input bar
-- [x] "knowledge" category in tools toggle menu
-- [x] Team KB endpoints + team management UI tab
-- [x] Personal KB endpoints + settings UI
-
-**Phase 4: Notes + Polish**
-- [x] Notes `embedding` column (`vector(3072)`)
-- [x] Semantic note search (`note_search` tool `semantic: true` param)
-- [x] KB rebuild endpoint (re-chunk + re-embed all docs)
-- [x] Audit logging for KB operations
-- [x] Usage tracking for embedding calls (`role = 'embedding'`)
-- [x] Integration tests
-
----
-
-## v0.15.0 — Compaction ✅
-
-Depends on: utility model role (v0.10.0).
-
-- [x] Compaction service: extracts messages, calls utility model to summarize, replaces with summary
-- [x] `Summarize & Continue` button: user-triggered compaction via existing summarize endpoint
-- [x] Channel-scoped context threshold triggers (configurable min messages, min chars, activity gap)
-- [x] Summaries stored as system messages with `is_summary = true` metadata
-- [x] Background scanner: periodic candidate detection with cooldown and in-flight dedup
-- [x] Configurable: per-channel opt-in/out (`compaction_opt_out`), global threshold overrides
-- [x] Admin controls: global enable/disable, threshold/cooldown settings via `global_settings`
-- [x] Context budget guard rail: estimated tokens must exceed 80% of ceiling before compaction
-- [x] Token estimation: `(len + 3) / 4` heuristic with path-from-summary support
-- [x] Rate limiting on summarize endpoint
-- [x] Comprehensive test suite: scanner candidates, guard rails, live pipeline integration tests
-
-Bug fixes during CI stabilization:
-- [x] Fixed `channels.deleted_at` → `channels.is_archived` (channels use soft-archive, not soft-delete)
-- [x] Fixed NULL model column scan in scanner (`COALESCE(c.model, '')`)
-- [x] Fixed test channel backdating (BEFORE UPDATE trigger override via INSERT)
-- [x] Fixed vault nil-check fallback in role resolver for plaintext API keys
-- [x] Fixed parallel test DB races (`-p 1` serialization)
-- [x] Fixed proactive token refresh cascade: failed refresh no longer nukes active session
-- [x] Fixed model visibility reset: preferences fetch failure preserves existing hidden state

-## v0.15.1 — Context Recall Tools
-
-Depends on: file handling (v0.12.0), tool framework (v0.11.0).
-
-Attachments are injected into context once (at send time) and are not
-replayed on subsequent turns — the model's own response acts as a natural
-summary. After compaction (v0.15.0) or in long conversations, the model
-may need to re-read source material. These tools bridge that gap.
-
-**`attachment_recall` tool**
-- [x] Two-action design: `list` (channel metadata) + `read` (content by ID)
-- [x] Images: base64 data URI from object storage (10MB cap)
-- [x] Documents: return `extracted_text` from DB
-- [x] Security: channel-scoped — attachment must belong to `ExecutionContext.ChannelID`
-- [x] Late registration: only registered when `objStore` is non-nil
-- [x] Category: `context` (groups with conversation_search in toggle UI)
-
-**`conversation_search` tool**
-- [x] Full-text keyword search via `plainto_tsquery` over channel messages
-- [x] `ts_headline` for highlighted excerpts with `**` markers
-- [x] Role filter: `all`, `user`, `assistant`
-- [x] Scoped to current channel, excludes soft-deleted messages
-- [x] On-the-fly `to_tsvector` (no migration needed — channel-bounded)
-
-**Token estimator improvements**
-- [x] `Tokens.estimateAttachments()` — images ~765 tokens, docs by text length
-- [x] Staged attachment tokens reflected in input counter before send
-- [x] Context percentage includes attachment estimates
-
-**KB auto-injection** (depends on: knowledge bases v0.14.0, compaction v0.15.0)
-- [ ] Pre-pend top-K KB results to system prompt (automatic, no tool call needed)
-- [ ] Context budget aware: skip injection if context already near limit
-- [ ] Per-channel toggle: tool-only vs auto-inject vs both
-- _(deferred — requires adding embedder to CompletionHandler, latency budgeting)_

-
-## v0.16.0 — User Groups + Resource Grants
-
-The missing access-control primitive. Teams define organizational
-structure (horizontal visibility). Roles define vertical permissions
-(admin/user). **Groups** are pure access-control lists that decouple
-resource access from team membership.
-
-Depends on: teams (v0.10.0), knowledge bases (v0.14.0).
-
-**Groups Entity**
-- [ ] `groups` table: `id`, `name`, `description`, `scope` (global, team), `team_id` (nullable — team-scoped groups), `created_by`, `created_at`, `updated_at`
-- [ ] `group_members` table: `group_id`, `user_id`, `added_by`, `added_at`
-- [ ] A user can belong to 0 or more groups
-- [ ] Groups can span multiple teams (global scope) or be team-internal
-- [ ] Admin CRUD: create/delete groups, add/remove members
-- [ ] Team admin can manage team-scoped groups
-
-**Resource Grant Model**
-- [ ] `resource_grants` table: `resource_type` (persona, knowledge_base, project), `resource_id`, `grant_scope` (team_only, global, groups), `granted_groups` (UUID[]), `created_by`
-- [ ] Extends existing `persona_grants` pattern to all resource types
-- [ ] Three-way access: `team_only` (existing team members), `global` (all authenticated), `groups` (specific group list)
-- [ ] Grant resolution: check user's group memberships against resource grants
-- [ ] Backward compatible: existing team/global scoping continues to work, groups are additive
-
-**API Endpoints**
-- [ ] CRUD: `/api/v1/admin/groups`, `/api/v1/teams/:teamId/groups`
-- [ ] Membership: `POST/DELETE /api/v1/groups/:id/members`
-- [ ] Grant management on resources: `PUT /api/v1/knowledge-bases/:id/grants`, `PUT /api/v1/presets/:id/grants`
-- [ ] User-facing: `GET /api/v1/groups/mine` (groups I belong to)
-
-**Frontend**
-- [ ] Admin panel: Groups section (CRUD, member management)
-- [ ] Team admin: group management tab
-- [ ] Resource grant picker: when creating/editing a Persona or KB, choose Team Only / Global / Select Groups

-## v0.17.0 — Persona-KB Binding + Enterprise KB Mode
+## v0.17.0 — Persona-KB Binding + Enterprise KB Mode + QOL ✅
 
 Personas become **gateways** to knowledge. In enterprise deployments,
 users don't interact with KBs directly — they talk to Personas that
-have KBs attached. This is the core differentiator for enterprise use.
+have KBs attached. Plus quality-of-life improvements: chat rename,
+token display, state persistence, utility model auto-naming.
 
 Depends on: knowledge bases (v0.14.0), user groups (v0.16.0).
 
 **Persona-KB Binding**
-- [ ] `persona_knowledge_bases` table: `persona_id`, `kb_id`, `auto_search` (bool — always search vs tool-only)
-- [ ] When a channel uses a Persona with bound KBs, `kb_search` is auto-scoped to those KBs
-- [ ] No user toggle needed — Persona carries its own KB context
-- [ ] Channel KB toggle becomes "additional KBs" on top of Persona-provided ones

+
+**Technical Debt (carried forward)**
+- [x] **Security**: KB create handler authorization — team/global scope verified
+- [x] **Test hygiene**: stripped DIAG diagnostics from `TestGroupBasedPersonaAccess`
+- [x] **Architecture**: `KnowledgeBaseStore.UpdateDocumentStorageKey()` — moved to store layer
+- [x] **UX**: Embedding dropdown fix — tolerant type filter, manual model ID fallback, auto-switch on empty _(already implemented in `ui-primitives.js`)_
+- [x] **Minor**: Paste-to-file character threshold — synced from backend `PublicSettings` (`storage.paste_to_file_chars`), admin-configurable, default 2000
+
+**Role Fallback Alerts** ([#69](https://git.gobha.me/xcaliber/chat-switchboard/issues/69))
+- [x] Audit log entry on fallback fire: `action = "role.fallback"` with primary/fallback model IDs and error string
+- [x] `role.fallback` WebSocket event via EventBus (`PublishAsync`, zero latency impact on completion path)
+- [x] In-memory cooldown on `Resolver` (per-role, 5-minute TTL) to deduplicate repeated fallback alerts
+- [x] Admin UI: persistent alert banner on `role.fallback` event (persists until dismissed)
+- [x] Wire `*events.Bus` into `roles.NewResolver` via `.WithBus()` builder
+
+**QOL / UX Wins**
+- [x] **Chat rename**: inline edit on sidebar item — dblclick title → input → blur/Enter saves via `API.updateChannel(id, { title })`
+- [x] **Chat token count**: display `Tokens.estimateConversation()` in model bar, update on `selectChat` and after each message
+- [x] **State restore on refresh**: persist `App.currentChatId` to `sessionStorage` on select, restore on load
+- [x] **Utility model auto-naming**: after first assistant response, background utility role request → `POST /channels/:id/generate-title` → re-render sidebar. Fallback to truncation when no utility model configured. Debounced via `_autoNamePending` set
+- [x] **SW extension cache fix**: exclude `/extensions/` from service worker fetch handler
+- [x] **Mermaid renderer**: promoted enhanced version (v2.0 — pan/zoom, SVG/PNG export, source copy) to `extensions/builtin/mermaid-renderer/`

+
+## v0.17.1 — SQLite Backend
+
+Dual-database support. Adding a second backend now means every subsequent
+schema change (memory, projects, channels restructure, auth) is developed
+against both Postgres and SQLite from day one — no retrofit. SQLite enables
+single-binary deployment for dev, demo, and single-user scenarios.
+
+Depends on: v0.17.0 DB debt cleanup (store layer is sole DB interface,
+no raw `database.DB` calls remain).
+
+**Rationale: Why here, not later**
+- v0.17.0 cleans up the last raw `ExecContext` bypass
+- v0.18.0 adds another `vector()` column (memory) — better to have the
+  vector abstraction in place first
+- v0.19.0–v0.24.0 each add schema — every one benefits from dual-backend CI
+
+**Store Layer**
+- [ ] SQLite implementations for all store interfaces
+- [ ] `DB_DRIVER` env var: `postgres` (default) | `sqlite`
+- [ ] Shared migration runner with dialect-aware SQL (or separate migration files per driver)
+- [ ] Connection pooling / WAL mode for SQLite concurrency
+- [ ] CI matrix: run integration tests against both Postgres and SQLite
+
+**Vector Search Abstraction**
+- [ ] `VectorStore` interface extracted from `KnowledgeBaseStore` + `NoteStore`
+- [ ] Postgres implementation: pgvector cosine similarity (existing)
+- [ ] SQLite implementation: sqlite-vec extension, or feature-gated (KB search disabled without it)
+- [ ] Graceful degradation: if vector search unavailable, `kb_search` tool returns error hint, KBs still store/serve documents
+
+**Schema Compatibility**
+- [ ] UUID generation: `gen_random_uuid()` → application-side UUID generation (Go `uuid.New()`)
+- [ ] JSONB columns → JSON text columns with application-side marshaling
+- [ ] `ARRAY` types (e.g. `granted_groups UUID[]`) → junction tables or JSON arrays
+- [ ] Timestamp handling: `TIMESTAMPTZ` → SQLite `TEXT` with ISO 8601
+- [ ] `ON CONFLICT` / upsert syntax alignment
+- [ ] Trigger syntax differences (PostgreSQL `EXECUTE FUNCTION` vs SQLite `BEGIN...END`)
+
+**What SQLite mode skips** (feature-gated, not broken):
+- [ ] pgvector-dependent features (KB similarity search, semantic note search) unless sqlite-vec available
+- [ ] `LISTEN/NOTIFY` (WebSocket event fan-out uses in-process EventBus instead — already works)
+
+---
+
+## v0.17.2 — CodeMirror 6 Integration
+
+Rich editor infrastructure for the frontend. CM6 is ESM-native; the build
+step runs in Docker (esbuild → single IIFE bundle). No change to dev
+experience for non-editor code — the rest of `src/js/` stays vanilla.
+
+Depends on: nothing (frontend-only). Prerequisite for: extension surfaces
+(v0.21.0 editor mode). See [DESIGN-CM6.md](DESIGN-CM6.md) for full spec.
+
+**Build Pipeline**
+- [ ] `src/editor/` directory: `package.json`, `build.mjs`, `index.mjs`, language/theme modules
+- [ ] `scripts/build-editor.sh`: shared build script for both Dockerfiles and local dev
+- [ ] New Docker stage (`cm6-build`): `npm ci` + `node build.mjs` → `vendor/codemirror/`
+- [ ] Both `Dockerfile.frontend` and `Dockerfile` (unified) use the shared build script
+- [ ] Bundle output: `codemirror.bundle.js` (~295KB min, ~90KB gzip) + `codemirror.bundle.css`
+- [ ] Graceful degradation: all integration points check `window.CM` — falls back to `<textarea>` if bundle unavailable
+
+**Languages (bundled)**
+- [ ] Markdown, JavaScript, JSON, SQL, HTML, CSS, YAML, Go, Python, Rust
+- [ ] Additional modes: one-line import + rebuild
+
+**Phase 1: Extension Editor** (admin panel)
+- [ ] `CM.codeEditor()` factory: line numbers, bracket matching, auto-indent, search/replace
+- [ ] Replace manifest `<textarea>` → CM6 JSON mode
+- [ ] Replace script `<textarea>` → CM6 JavaScript mode
+- [ ] Remove manual Tab-key handler in `admin-handlers.js` (CM6 handles it)
+- [ ] Update `saveAdminExtension()` to use `.getValue()`
+
+**Phase 2: Chat Input** (markdown mode)
+- [ ] `CM.chatInput()` factory: markdown highlighting, minimal chrome (no line numbers, no gutter)
+- [ ] Enter=send, Shift+Enter=newline keybindings
+- [ ] Auto-growing height, placeholder text
+- [ ] Wire `onChange` → `updateInputTokens()`
+- [ ] Update `chat.js`, `attachments.js`, `tokens.js` to use CM API
+- [ ] Test paste handling (plain text, code, attachments) and mobile/touch input
+
+**Phase 3: Polish**
+- [ ] Theme integration: CSS variable overrides (`--bg`, `--border`, `--accent`, etc.)
+- [ ] Dark/light mode switching (listen for theme toggle event)
+- [ ] Vim/Emacs keybinding preference in appearance settings (`@replit/codemirror-vim`, `@replit/codemirror-emacs`)
+- [ ] Vim/Emacs applies to code editor + extension editor only (never chat input)
+- [ ] SW cache: exclude `vendor/codemirror/` or add to `SHELL_FILES` with version bust
+- [ ] Update `debug.js` snapshot to include CM6 version
+- [ ] Documentation in ARCHITECTURE.md
