+# RAGCore
+
+**A self-hosted retrieval platform for applications that need trustworthy, authorized knowledge.**
+
+RAGCore ingests documents, preserves their source versions, and returns search results, bounded context packs or cited answers. Applications use the REST API, typed SDKs or MCP adapter instead of managing vector databases directly. Retrieval remains useful when an optional generation provider is unavailable.
+
+## How it works
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+  A[Upload / folder / Git source] --> B[Parse and version]
+  B --> C[PostgreSQL + immutable blobs]
+  C --> D[Derived Qdrant index]
+  D --> E[Authorized hybrid retrieval]
+  E --> F[Search / context / cited answers]
+  E --> G[Query Lab]
+```
+
+## Capabilities
+
+- Workspace, application, service-account, knowledge-space and grant management with audit events.
+- Persistent source registry, scheduled folder/Git synchronization, uploads and durable ingestion jobs.
+- Text/Markdown/code parsing and Docling support for born-digital PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX and HTML.
+- Dense/sparse hybrid search with reciprocal rank fusion, explicit filters and provenance-rich citations.
+- Optional Ollama generation and streamed answers with claim/citation validation.
+- Browser control plane for sources, documents, jobs, access, profiles, Query Lab and system health.
+- Typed Python/TypeScript clients and a read-only MCP service using the same authorization boundary.
+- Backup/restore tools, Alembic migrations, observability and explicit embedding/index selection.
+
+## Run locally
+
+Python development requires **Python 3.13** and **uv**. Deployment requires Docker Compose and sufficient storage for PostgreSQL, Qdrant, immutable document blobs and parsing/model artifacts.
+
+```bash
+git clone https://gitea.itworx.tech/Jens/RAGcore-Public.git
+cd RAGcore-Public
+cp .env.example .env
+# Configure independent strong secrets, database credentials and provider settings.
+docker compose up --build
+```
+
+The app listens on `http://localhost:8088`; MCP uses port `8090`. The stack contains app, worker, MCP, PostgreSQL and Qdrant. The optional `models` profile adds Ollama. State defaults to `.state/`; persist and back it up independently of the checkout.
+
+Configure `RAGCORE_BOOTSTRAP_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER` and `RAGCORE_BOOTSTRAP_EMBEDDING_MODEL` together, or activate a profile through the control plane. Retrieval needs an active compatible embedding profile and an available provider; starting the containers alone does not create a useful corpus. Model changes require an explicit selection/reindex workflow.
+
+For folder/Git sources, mount only the intended corpus read-only into the worker and set `RAGCORE_SOURCE_ROOTS` to its container path. An empty allowlist deliberately disables filesystem-backed sources. Create the workspace/application, issue a scoped service credential, grant its knowledge spaces, ingest content and wait for successful publication before searching.
+
+## Integrate
+
+```python
+from ragcore_sdk import RAGCoreClient
+
+with RAGCoreClient(base_url="https://ragcore.example.test", token=service_token) as client:
+    response = client.search(query="What is the retention policy?")
+    for result in response.results:
+        print(result.rank, result.citation.source_uri)
+```
+
+Install the Python SDK from `sdk/python`; the TypeScript SDK is in `sdk/typescript`. The [REST contract](docs/contracts/openapi.yaml) and [MCP specification](docs/11_MCP/MCP_SPECIFICATION.md) describe supported operations and authentication.
+
+## Production considerations
+
+Use HTTPS, a deliberately trusted reverse proxy, independent secrets and configured OIDC roles. Keep PostgreSQL and Qdrant private. Production validation rejects weak credentials and unsafe storage/network settings. PostgreSQL and blobs are authoritative; Qdrant is rebuildable. On Unraid, place active database/vector storage on direct pool paths. Review the [deployment guide](docs/09_OPERATIONS/UNRAID_DEPLOYMENT.md), [backup/restore guide](docs/09_OPERATIONS/BACKUP_RESTORE.md) and [security controls](docs/07_SECURITY/SECURITY_CONTROLS.md) before deployment.
+
+The shipped parsing image does not OCR scanned PDFs without a text layer. Model weights and parsing artifacts may need downloads during image construction. This source snapshot is not a claim that experimental ModelForge routes or a particular live deployment have been qualified.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+uv sync --all-extras --group dev
+uv run ruff check src tests
+uv run mypy src
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+Integration tests require disposable PostgreSQL/Qdrant and model services; use the supplied test Compose files rather than production data. [Architecture](docs/01_ARCHITECTURE/SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE.md) explains module boundaries and data flows.
+
+## Source distribution and licensing
+
+This is the curated public source edition. Development continues in the private canonical repository; reviewed snapshots are published automatically after changes reach `main`, without private Git history, operational evidence, corpora or credentials.
+
+The package declares **Proprietary** and no repository-wide distribution license has been selected. Public visibility does not grant reuse or redistribution rights. See [licensing status](docs/LICENSING.md); model, dataset and third-party terms must be reviewed separately.

+# Security Policy
+
+## Reporting vulnerabilities
+
+Report suspected vulnerabilities privately to the repository owner. Do not place real credentials, access tokens, private documents, tenant data, retrieval evidence, model-provider payloads or exploit-sensitive parser samples in public issues, logs or repository artifacts.
+
+Include the affected commit/component, a synthetic minimal reproduction, expected and observed behaviour, impact, and whether the issue affects ingestion, authorization, retrieval, citations, generation providers, MCP, administrative operations, persistence or deployment.
+
+## Critical invariants
+
+- PostgreSQL, Qdrant, model and worker administration ports remain private;
+- credentials and service-account tokens are shown once and stored only as hashes or external runtime secrets;
+- authorization is applied before retrieval and rechecked before citation/content access;
+- local-only knowledge never reaches an external generation provider;
+- uploaded and retrieved content is untrusted evidence, never executable instruction;
+- potentially dangerous files are quarantined and parsed through bounded adapters;
+- Qdrant is derived state and cannot override PostgreSQL/blob authority;
+- destructive administrative operations require explicit authorization, idempotency controls and audit evidence;
+- tests use synthetic fixtures and do not depend on hidden network calls or production data.
+
+Agent definitions and engineering evidence retained in the private canonical repository are development context, not runtime authority, and are excluded from source archives and Docker contexts.
+
+Detailed security design lives in `docs/07_SECURITY/`.

+"""Canonical source identity, the persistent source registry, and the terminal
+document-failure lifecycle.
+
+Why one migration: the three changes share one invariant -- *a source is the
+same source through upload, ingestion, indexing, filtering, provenance and
+the Control Plane* -- and none of them is safe to ship without the others.
+
+1. ``content.sources`` (+ ``source_sync_runs``, ``source_items``): the
+   registry. Every document must reference a source row, so sources are
+   created *before* ``documents.source_id`` becomes mandatory.
+2. ``content.documents.source_id``: the canonical source UUID. Backfilled
+   from each row's existing ``source_key`` with the exact rule the runtime
+   now uses (``domain.sources.identity.source_id_from_key``): a UUID-shaped
+   key is the caller's source id; anything else (the content digest of an ad
+   hoc upload) belongs to the space's built-in Uploads source. Every distinct
+   backfilled source gets a registry row (kind ``upload``), named "Uploads"
+   for the built-in one and "Sync source <prefix>" for caller-identified ones.
+3. ``content.document_versions``: ``job_id`` (job <-> version traceability),
+   ``source_revision`` (connector revision such as a Git commit), and the
+   terminal failure fields ``failure_code``/``failure_retryable``/``failed_at``.
+
+Qdrant payloads written before this migration still carry the old synthetic
+per-document ``source_id``; an authoritative reconcile/rebuild (both now go
+through the one canonical point mapper) rewrites them. See CHANGELOG 1.2.0.

+"""Source convergence bookkeeping and a database-enforced source ownership
+boundary.
+
+Why one migration: both changes exist to make one sentence true --- *what the
+Control Plane says about a source is what is actually searchable, and it is
+searchable in exactly one tenant scope*. Shipping either alone leaves the
+other half of that sentence a lie.
+
+1. **Convergence.** A sync run only *enqueues* ingestion; the content becomes
+   searchable in child jobs that report back later. ``source_items`` gains a
+   second fingerprint --- ``applied_fingerprint``, what an ingestion proved
+   searchable, next to ``fingerprint``, what discovery saw --- plus the
+   attempt/failure bookkeeping that makes an unconverged item legible.
+   ``sync_state`` and ``outcome`` widen to 32 characters for the two new
+   values (``awaiting_ingest``, ``completed_with_failures``) that stop a run
+   from claiming "completed" while its children are still in flight.
+
+2. **Ownership.** ``documents.source_id`` referenced ``sources.id`` alone, so
+   nothing but application code stopped a document in one workspace/space
+   from pointing at another tenant's source. The reference becomes composite
+   --- ``(source_id, workspace_id, space_id)`` against a matching unique key
+   on ``sources`` --- which makes "a document never references a source from
+   another scope" an invariant PostgreSQL enforces.
+
+Backfill notes, both of which change data rather than only shape:
+
+* Every existing remembered item is backfilled as *applied* at its last-seen
+  time. It was ingested under the old model, where discovery finishing was
+  the only completion signal there was; calling it pending instead would mark
+  every already-searchable corpus as unconverged, and nothing would ever fix
+  it --- an unchanged item is deliberately never re-enqueued.
+
+* Migration 0016 allowed one backfilled source to straddle several knowledge
+  spaces (a caller-identified source kept the space of its oldest document
+  while its documents kept their own). The composite key cannot express that,
+  and the runtime rule is that there is no safe cross-space source: a space
+  is what grants and policies attach to. Each straddling group is therefore
+  split onto its own deterministically-derived sibling source, and the
+  documents in it are repointed. Qdrant payloads written before this carry
+  the old source id; an authoritative reconcile/rebuild rewrites them.

+"""Job ownership as a first-class, database-level attribute --- and the job a
+failed source item is waiting on.
+
+Why a column and not the payload
+--------------------------------
+
+``jobs.jobs.payload`` already carried ``workspace_id`` for every operation the
+platform enqueues today, and the Control Plane read it from there. A JSON
+field is fine for *handler input*; it is the wrong home for the attribute an
+authorization decision is made on:
+
+* nothing constrains it --- a payload may omit it, spell it differently, or
+  carry a workspace that no longer exists;
+* it cannot be indexed for the queries the operator screens actually run
+  (recent jobs of one workspace, status counts of one workspace);
+* it cannot be made ``NOT NULL``, so "this job has no owner" and "this job's
+  owner is unknown" stay indistinguishable at the storage layer --- exactly
+  the ambiguity a fail-open ``payload.get("workspace_id") or viewer``
+  fallback was built on.
+
+So ownership becomes a real column with a real index, and every ownership
+decision (list, count, detail, retry) is a predicate PostgreSQL evaluates,
+not a comparison the web layer performs after the rows are already in hand.
+
+Backfill, deliberately fail-closed
+----------------------------------

+Existing rows are backfilled from ``payload->>'workspace_id'`` **only** when
+that value is a syntactically valid UUID *and* names a workspace that really
+exists in ``control.workspaces``. Anything else --- missing, malformed, or
+pointing at a workspace that was deleted --- is left ``NULL``, which the
+runtime treats as *legacy / unscoped*: invisible and immutable for every
+workspace-scoped principal, inspectable only by a platform administrator.
+
+Guessing here would be the whole bug in migration form. Assigning an unowned
+job to whoever happens to look at it is precisely the cross-tenant leak this
+round exists to close, so a job whose owner cannot be established keeps no
+owner at all.
+
+The column stays nullable *for legacy rows only*. New jobs cannot be written
+without an owner: ``JobService.enqueue`` requires one and
+``PostgresJobRepository.enqueue`` writes it, so ``NULL`` can only ever mean
+"enqueued before this migration".
+
+Source-item failure provenance
+------------------------------
+
+Second, small, related change: ``content.source_items`` gains
+``last_failure_job_id``. A terminally failed item is deliberately *not*
+re-enqueued by the next sync (its discovered fingerprint is unchanged, so
+there is nothing new to apply); recovery runs through retrying the child
+ingest job that failed. Until now the registry forgot which job that was the
+moment it recorded the failure --- ``mark_item_failed`` cleared
+``pending_job_id`` --- which left the Control Plane able to say *that* an item
+failed but not *what to retry*.

+read a bounded page and then filtered it in Python.

+
+``operation`` stays out of the index on purpose: it has two distinct values in

+would add write cost without narrowing anything the first three have not.

+# Deployment Topology
+
+## Development
+
+Docker Compose levert app, worker, PostgreSQL en Qdrant. Ollama is een optioneel profiel. Alleen app publiceert een hostpoort.
+
+## Unraid productie
+
+```text
+Nginx Proxy Manager / Authentik
+             |
+       ragcore-app:8080

+```
+
+- PostgreSQL, Qdrant en Ollama publiceren geen internet- of LAN-poort via deze stack.
+- Actieve PostgreSQL/Qdrant-volumes gebruiken directe poolpaden zoals `/mnt/cache/appdata/ragcore/...` of `/mnt/<pool>/...`, niet `/mnt/pool/...`.
+- Back-ups en snapshots mogen naar `/mnt/pool/backups/ragcore` worden gekopieerd nadat ze consistent zijn geëxporteerd.
+- Containers draaien non-root, read-only waar mogelijk, met `no-new-privileges`.
+
+## Failure modes
+
+| Failure | Gedrag |
+|---|---|
+| Ollama down | `/search` en `/context` blijven beschikbaar; `/answers` geeft provider unavailable |
+| Qdrant down | API blijft live maar retrieval-readiness faalt |
+| Worker down | Bestaande actieve kennis blijft zoekbaar; nieuwe jobs wachten |
+| PostgreSQL down | readiness faalt; geen request dat autorisatie vereist wordt uitgevoerd |
+| Blobstore tijdelijk down | search op reeds geïndexeerde tekst kan doorgaan; documentopen/download faalt expliciet |

+# System Architecture
+
+## Stijl
+
+V1 is een **modulaire monoliet** met twee procesrollen uit hetzelfde codebase/image:
+
+- `ragcore-app`: HTTP API, beheerinterface, retrieval- en answerorchestratie;
+- `ragcore-worker`: ingestion-, synchronisatie-, embedding- en onderhoudsjobs.
+
+Externe stateful services zijn PostgreSQL en Qdrant. Ollama is optioneel en kan reeds centraal bestaan.
+
+```text
+Clients / MCP / UI
+        |
+  Reverse proxy + OIDC
+        |
+    ragcore-app ---------------- Model provider
+       |          |    \---- Qdrant (derived retrieval index)
+       |
+   PostgreSQL (control plane + jobs)
+       |
+   ragcore-worker ---- immutable blobs / parsed artifacts
+```
+
+## Waarom geen microservices
+
+- Eén server en beperkte initiële belasting.
+- Eenvoudiger transacties, upgrades, debugging en restore.
+- Minder netwerk- en deploymentcontracten.
+- Modulaire grenzen maken latere extractie mogelijk wanneer metingen dat rechtvaardigen.
+
+## Requestpaden
+
+### Search
+
+`API -> authorization -> query analysis -> dense/sparse retrieval -> hybrid RRF-fusion -> citations -> response`
+
+V1 voert geen reranker uit: de gefuseerde volgorde is de productieranking.
+Een toekomstige optionele reranker vereist een apart, gevalideerd provider- en
+evaluatiebesluit.
+
+### Answer
+
+`Search -> context assembly -> answerability -> provider policy -> grounded generation -> claim/citation validation -> response`
+
+### Ingestion
+
+`source sync -> immutable acquisition -> security gate -> parse -> normalize -> chunk -> embed -> shadow index -> validate -> publish`
+
+## Betrouwbaarheidsgrenzen
+
+- Internet, uploads en repositories zijn onbetrouwbare input.
+- Reverse proxy/OIDC valideert mensidentiteit; RAGCore autoriseert resources.
+- Service tokens identificeren applications maar geven alleen expliciete grants.
+- Qdrant is niet publiek en vertrouwt alleen RAGCore.
+- Modelproviders ontvangen uitsluitend policy-toegestane context.

+          ∩ active spaces in the same workspace
+          ∩ spaces compatible with operation and provider policy
+```
+
+Een lege requested set betekent alleen de configured defaults van de application, nooit alle grants. Filters worden door de server samengesteld en kunnen niet via raw Qdrantfilterinput worden overschreven.
+
+## Defence in depth
+
+- Use-case authorization vóór repository calls.
+- Workspace-gebonden databasequeries en waar passend PostgreSQL RLS.
+- Verplichte Qdrant payloadfilters.
+- Citation/documentread voert opnieuw resourceauthorization uit.
+- Securitytests proberen IDOR, filterinjectie, inactive records en cross-space leakage.

+# Database Schema
+
+## Schema's
+
+- `identity`: users, service_accounts, credentials, sessions.
+- `control`: workspaces, applications, spaces, grants, policies, profiles.
+- `content`: sources, documents, versions, blobs, artifacts, chunks, citations.
+- `jobs`: jobs, attempts, events, schedules.
+- `query`: retrieval_runs, candidates, answers, feedback.
+- `evaluation`: suites, cases, runs, results.
+- `audit`: append-only audit_events.
+
+## Belangrijke constraints
+
+- Unieke actieve documentversion per document via partial unique index.
+- Unieke `(workspace_id, slug)` voor applications en spaces.
+- Tokenhash uniek; plaintext token nooit opgeslagen.
+- Chunk uniqueness op `(document_version_id, structure_path, content_hash, chunk_profile_version)`.
+- Foreign keys gebruiken restrict/cascade bewust; contentaudit wordt niet stil verwijderd.
+- Alle timestamps `timestamptz` in UTC.
+- `jobs.jobs.workspace_id` is de ownership-kolom waarop iedere operator-query
+  filtert, met indexen `(workspace_id, updated_at)` en --- sinds migratie 0019,
+  voor het gefilterde operatoroverzicht --- `(workspace_id, status, updated_at)`.
+  `operation` staat er bewust niet in: die kolom heeft twee waarden in deze
+  runtime en versmalt niets wat de eerste twee kolommen niet al versmallen.
+  Nullable *uitsluitend* voor
+  legacy rijen van vóór migratie 0018; nieuwe jobs worden door de repository
+  geweigerd zonder eigenaar. `NULL` betekent "geen eigenaar vast te stellen" en
+  faalt gesloten voor workspace-scoped principals --- nooit "van iedereen".
+- `content.source_items.last_failure_job_id` bewaart de child ingest job die als
+  laatste faalde. Een terminaal gefaald item met ongewijzigde fingerprint wordt
+  bewust niet opnieuw ge-enqueued; herstel loopt via retry van díe job.
+
+## Transaction boundaries
+
+- Nieuwe versie en jobregistratie in één transaction.
+- Publication update vergrendelt document en valideert indexbuildstatus.
+- Jobclaim gebruikt `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED` met lease expiry.
+- Qdrant is geen distributed transaction participant; outbox/reconciliation herstelt divergentie.

+# Qdrant Index Contract
+
+## M6 embedding-space identity
+
+New ModelForge shadow collections and payloads carry the exact `embedding_space_id`; dimensions
+alone never establish compatibility. The current production collection remains legacy-observed and
+unchanged. Evaluation-only shadow reads name a server-owned profile and never mutate the alias.
+
+## Collecties
+
+Collecties worden per indexprofiel/embeddingruimte gemaakt, niet per project:
+
+```text
+rag_dense_<profile>_<version>
+rag_code_<profile>_<version>
+```
+
+Een alias verwijst naar de actieve build. Verschillende dimensies of modeldigests worden nooit gemengd.
+
+## Named vectors
+
+- `dense`: semantische embedding;
+- `sparse`: lexicale/tokenrepresentatie;
+- latere multivector alleen via nieuw profiel en evaluatie.
+
+## Verplichte payload
+
+`workspace_id`, `space_id`, `document_id`, `document_version_id`, `chunk_id`, `parent_chunk_id`, `source_id`, `status`, `content_type`, `language`, `trust_level`, location, profile versions en tekst/excerpt.
+
+## Payload indexes
+
+Minimaal: workspace, space, document, version, status, content_type, language en trust_level. Voeg geen index toe zonder gemeten filtergebruik.
+
+## Query invariant
+
+Iedere query bevat server-side workspace/space/statusfilters. Raw clientfilters worden nooit rechtstreeks doorgestuurd; toegestane filters worden gecompileerd uit typed requestvelden.
+
+## Rebuild
+
+Qdrant is afgeleid. Rebuild maakt een shadow collection, controleert counts/samples/golden queries, activeert alias en houdt de vorige build voor rollback.
+
+Elke build-, rollback- en reconcile-aanroep wordt per alias geserialiseerd door een PostgreSQL-backed lease lock (`indexes.index_build_operations`), niet door een proceslokale lock, zodat meerdere app-/workerreplicas nooit dezelfde aliasmigratie gelijktijdig uitvoeren. Acquisitie is begrensd (timeout + backoff) en een gecrashte houder laat geen permanent vastgelopen lock achter: een verlopen lease wordt bij de volgende poging gereclaimed en als `needs_repair` gemarkeerd zodat de eerdere afbraak zichtbaar blijft.
+
+Elke stap van een operatie wordt in dezelfde rij gelogd (saga log) zodat een gedeeltelijk mislukte build gecompenseerd kan worden: vóór activatie wordt de shadow collection verwijderd; na (een poging tot) activatie wordt de alias geforceerd teruggezet naar de vorige collectie en geverifieerd. Een compensatie die zelf niet bevestigd kan worden resulteert in `needs_repair` en een `IndexRepairError`, nooit in een stilzwijgend geslaagde melding.
+
+Malformed of legacy points blokkeren reconciliatie niet: ze worden gedetecteerd, uitgesloten van gebruik en vervolgens hersteld (deterministisch herbouwd vanuit de authoritative bron) wanneer hun ID bij een verwachte chunk hoort, of gequarantained (verwijderd op exact opgeslagen ID) wanneer dat niet zo is.
+
+Batchquota voor Qdrant-schrijfoperaties tellen de werkelijke UTF-8-geserialiseerde bytes van het volledige payload, de sparse-vectoren en de fingerprintvelden, niet alleen tekst/excerpt-lengte; een build kent daarnaast een cumulatieve bytequota over alle batches heen.

+# Connectors
+
+## V1
+
+### Upload
+Menselijke of API-upload. Vereist filename, content length en target space. Upload is nooit automatisch trusted.
+
+### Read-only folder
+Scant een expliciet gemounte root. Path traversal en symlinks buiten root worden geweigerd. De connector schrijft nooit naar de bronmap.
+
+### Git repository
+Leest een pinned commit/ref uit lokale checkout of toegestane remote. Registreert repository, commit, path en language. Secrets/binaries worden uitgesloten volgens policy.
+
+### Website/sitemap
+Optioneel late V1. Alleen expliciet toegestane domains, robots/politeness, size/time limits en SSRF-beveiligde fetcher.
+
+## Connector contract
+
+`scan(cursor) -> items + next_cursor`; `acquire(item) -> byte stream + metadata`; `fingerprint(item)`. Connectors bevatten geen parsing- of publicationlogica.
+
+## Deletion semantics
+
+Een volledige succesvolle scan mag ontbrekende items als source-deleted markeren. Een partiële/mislukte scan mag nooit massaal verwijderen.
+
+## Source Registry en synchronisatie (1.2.0)
+
+Iedere bron is een persistent record in `content.sources` (id, workspace, knowledge
+space, naam, type, status, secret-vrije configuratie, sync-state, laatste sync,
+laatste succesvolle sync, laatste revisie). Iedere ingest registreert zijn bron
+bij eerste gebruik; ad-hoc uploads zonder `source_id` horen bij de ingebouwde
+*Uploads*-bron van hun space (`upload_source_id(space_id)`, deterministisch).
+
+De `source_id` is **één identiteit** door de hele keten: document → chunk →
+Qdrant-payload → provenance → citation (`ragcore://source/<id>`) → `source_ids`-filter
+→ Control Plane. De `source_key`/`external_id`-dedupsleutel van documenten blijft
+ongewijzigd (sync-clients via de upload-API merken niets).
+
+Synchronisatie (`SourceSyncService`, worker-job `sync_source`, alleen folder/Git):
+
+```
+discover (alle pagina's) → vergelijk fingerprint met registry-items
+  → nieuw/gewijzigd: acquire → blob → ingest_upload-job (zelfde pipeline als uploads)
+  → ongewijzigd: niets
+  → verdwenen (alleen bij complete scan): document retiren
+  → persist run: discovered / new / changed / unchanged / removed / failed
+```
+
+Git-items krijgen het commit als `source_revision` op de documentversie; het
+stabiele document-id van een item is zijn pad (`locator`), niet `<commit>:<pad>`.
+Er is geen scheduler: een sync start vanuit de Control Plane ("Sync now") of door
+een `sync_source`-job te enqueuen. Website-bronnen zijn nog niet aan te maken.

+# PostgreSQL Job System
+
+## Waarom PostgreSQL
+
+V1 heeft beperkte workerconcurrency. PostgreSQL voorkomt een extra stateful dependency en maakt jobs, attempts, events en businessstate gezamenlijk inspecteerbaar.
+
+## Claim
+
+Workers selecteren ready jobs met `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED`, schrijven `leased_by`, `lease_until` en increment attempt atomair. Een heartbeat verlengt alleen een lease die nog eigendom is van die worker.
+
+## Retry
+
+Exponential backoff met jitter, typed retryable/terminal errors en maximum attempts per jobtype. Poison jobs gaan terminal en blokkeren publication niet onzichtbaar.
+
+## Idempotency
+
+Unieke job key op operation + immutable target + profileversion. Handlers moeten veilig opnieuw uitvoerbaar zijn na crash tussen externe side effect en databasecommit.
+
+## Observability
+
+Iedere transition schrijft een compact event met trace ID, duur, foutcode en sanitized details. Grote parseroutput hoort in artifacts, niet in job rows.

+4. **Persist blob:** content-addressed en immutable.
+5. **Parse:** gespecialiseerde parser maakt canonical document.
+6. **Normalize:** encoding, whitespace, metadata en structure paths.
+7. **Chunk:** documenttypebewuste deterministische chunks.
+8. **Embed:** profile-pinned dense/sparse representations.
+9. **Index:** upsert naar shadow/target build.
+10. **Validate:** counts, referential checks, sample retrieval en policychecks.

+# Answerability
+
+## Statussen
+
+- `answerable`: voldoende consistente evidence dekt de vraag.
+- `partially_answerable`: slechts een aantoonbaar deel is gedekt.
+- `not_answerable`: onvoldoende of te zwakke evidence.
+- `conflicting_evidence`: relevante bronnen spreken elkaar materieel tegen.
+
+## Signalen
+
+Fusievolgorde, documentdiversiteit, dekking van queryfacetten, trust level, freshness, exacte identifier match, source independence en conflictregels. Een retrievalscore wordt nooit als kans of menselijk confidencepercentage gepresenteerd.
+
+## Gedrag
+
+- `answerable`: grounded generatie toegestaan volgens databeleid.
+- `partially_answerable`: beantwoorde deel duidelijk scheiden van ontbrekend deel.
+- `not_answerable`: geen inhoudelijke invulling; toon wat wel en niet gevonden is.
+- `conflicting_evidence`: bronnen en verschillen presenteren; geen willekeurige keuze.
+
+## Kalibratie
+
+Drempels worden uitsluitend aangepast op versioned evaluation datasets. Iedere wijziging rapporteert false-answerable en false-not-answerable regressies.

+# Citations
+
+## Eigenschappen
+
+Een citation is immutable en verwijst naar:
+
+- workspace/space;
+- document en documentversion;
+- chunk en parentchunk;
+- pagina, sectie of regelbereik;
+- excerpt en excerptchecksum;
+- source URI en acquisition timestamp;
+- retrieval run en gebruikte index/profileversie.
+
+## ID
+
+Deterministische UUIDv5 of stabiele opaque ID op immutable citationinputs. Een latere documentversion verandert een bestaande citation niet.
+
+## Presentatie (1.2.0)
+
+Naast de machine-velden levert iedere citation in `/v1/search`, `/v1/context` en
+`/v1/answers` leesbare provenance, opgelost uit het Source Registry:
+`source_id`, `source_name`, `source_kind`, `locator` (item binnen de bron),
+`revision` (bijv. Git-commit van de geciteerde versie) en `display`, bijvoorbeeld
+`Network Design.pdf · p. 18 · Firewall Segmentation` of
+`infrastructure/runbooks/backup.md · commit 3fc821a · lines 118-143`.
+`source_uri` (`ragcore://source/<source_id>`) blijft de stabiele interne locator.
+Een citation is herleidbaar tot bron → item (`locator`) → versie
+(`document_version_id` + `revision`) → chunk (`id`, `excerpt_sha256`) → locatie
+(sectie/pagina/regels). Autorisatie verandert hierdoor niet: de presentatie
+resolvet alleen documenten die de caller al geautoriseerd terugkreeg.
+
+## API
+
+Antwoorden refereren citation IDs in tekst/structured claims. `GET /v1/citations/{id}` autoriseert opnieuw en levert alleen content die de caller nu mag lezen. Audit kan historische metadata bewaren terwijl gevoelige excerptretentie policy volgt.
+
+## Claimondersteuning
+
+Generatie-output moet claims aan citations koppelen. Niet-ondersteunde feitelijke claims worden verwijderd, opnieuw gegenereerd of leiden tot een expliciete failure afhankelijk van profiel.

+# Retrieval Pipeline
+
+## Stappen
+
+1. Authenticeer caller en resolveer application/user.
+2. Bereken effective spaces en toegestane trust/data policies.
+3. Normaliseer vraag; bewaar originele query.
+4. Detecteer identifiers, paden, versies, foutcodes en taal.
+5. Maak dense queryembedding en sparse queryrepresentatie.
+6. Voer parallel dense en sparse retrieval uit met verplichte payloadfilters.
+7. Fuseer rankings via Reciprocal Rank Fusion.
+8. Verwijder duplicate/near-duplicate chunks en beperk per document.
+9. Selecteer de hoogste gefuseerde kandidaten.
+10. Expandeer geselecteerde children naar toegestane parentcontext.
+11. Stel context samen binnen token- en diversiteitsbudget.
+12. Bepaal answerability/conflictstatus.
+13. Materialiseer immutable citations en emit timings/metrics.
+
+## Standaardbudgetten V1
+
+- dense candidates: 50;
+- sparse candidates: 50;
+- fused candidates: 40;
+- geselecteerde fused results: 10;
+- maximaal 3 children per document;
+- minimaal 2 documenten waar beschikbaar;
+- contextbudget configureerbaar per generationprofiel.
+
+Dit zijn beginwaarden, geen harde kwaliteitswaarheid. Evaluation bepaalt wijzigingen.
+
+## Degradatie
+
+- Sparse unavailable: dense-only met expliciete degraded metadata.
+- Generator unavailable: search/context blijven werken.
+- Geen voldoende evidence: antwoordstatus `not_answerable`; geen geforceerde generatie.
+
+V1 heeft geen actieve reranker: de fused ranking is de normale productieroute,
+niet een degradatiefallback. Een toekomstige reranker krijgt pas een profiel en
+provider nadat die end-to-end is gevalideerd.

+- Prefix `/v1` voor productresources; health blijft onversioned.
+- JSON en RFC 9457-style problem details voor fouten.
+- Opaque UUID identifiers.
+- Idempotency-Key vereist voor create/upload/sync requests die clients kunnen herhalen.
+- Cursorpagination, stabiele sortering en begrensde page sizes.
+- Timestamps in RFC 3339 UTC.
+- Geen raw SQL, Qdrantfilter, providerprompt of onbeperkte modelparameters in publieke requests.

+# SDK Requirements
+
+V1 levert handgeschreven Python (`sdk/python`, pakket `ragcore-sdk`) en
+TypeScript (`sdk/typescript`, pakket `@ragcore/sdk`) clients tegen de
+pinned OpenAPI-specificatie, elk scoped tot de drie echt geïmplementeerde
+retrieval-endpoints (`search`/`context`/`answers`) -- `/v1/citations/{id}`
+en `/v1/jobs/{id}` staan wel in `docs/contracts/openapi.yaml`, maar zijn
+nooit als echte route geïmplementeerd, dus geen van beide SDK's doet
+alsof ze bestaan.
+
+Beide SDK's:
+
+- accepteren het bearer token veilig zonder het ooit te loggen (Python:
+  nooit buiten de request-headers; TypeScript: een echt privé class field
+  `#token`, niet TypeScript's compile-time-only `private`, dus niet
+  zichtbaar via `console.log`/spread/`JSON.stringify`);
+- ondersteunen timeouts (beide) en cancellation via de standaard taal-
+  mechanismen (Python: normale `asyncio`-cancellation; TypeScript: een
+  interne `AbortController` per request) -- geen aparte cancellation-API
+  bovenop wat de taal al biedt;
+- exposen typed problem details (`ProblemDetails`/`RAGCoreAPIError`) voor
+  elke non-2xx-response, die allemaal dezelfde RFC7807-vorm hebben;
+- modelleren de search/context/answer-types volledig, inclusief citations;
+- handelen de SSE-answerstream af (`event: <type>\ndata: <json>\n\n`,
+  zoals `answers/routes.py::_sse_body` het echt verstuurt);
+- retryen alleen de non-streaming requestpaden, en alleen bij een
+  connectiefout of een `503` -- nooit een `4xx`, nooit een al gestarte
+  SSE-stream (zie beide SDK's eigen moduledocstring voor de redenering);
+- sturen een eigen versie-identifier mee: Python zet een echte
+  `User-Agent: ragcore-sdk-python/<versie>` header; TypeScript zet in
+  plaats daarvan `X-RAGCore-SDK-Version: <versie>`, omdat browsers
+  pogingen om `User-Agent` via `fetch` te zetten stilzwijgend negeren
+  (Node accepteert het wel, wat een inconsistent gedrag tussen runtimes
+  zou opleveren als `User-Agent` zelf gebruikt was).
+
+Geen SDK exposet Qdrant- of databaseconcepten.
+
+## Bewust niet geleverd
+
+Twee requirements uit een eerdere versie van dit document zijn bewust
+losgelaten, omdat ze niet passen bij wat er echt bestaat:
+
+- **Idempotency keys.** `search`/`context`/`answers` zijn stateless,
+  side-effect-vrije queries (geen enkele schrijft iets weg) -- een
+  idempotency key is een mechanisme tegen dubbele *schrijf*-operaties bij
+  een retry, en heeft dus geen functie hier. De retry-policy hierboven is
+  om diezelfde reden al veilig zonder een key.
+- **Cursor-iterators.** Geen van de drie endpoints heeft cursor-based
+  paginering (search/context/answers geven een vast-begrensde
+  resultatenset terug, geen paginated lijst); er is dus niets om te
+  itereren.

+# Prompt Injection Defense
+
+## Hoofdregel
+
+Retrieved content is **onbetrouwbare evidence** en nooit een instructiebron. Tekst als “ignore previous instructions” heeft geen hogere status dan andere documenttekst.
+
+## Promptstructuur
+
+1. System policy
+2. Application contract
+3. User question
+4. Delimited untrusted evidence with citation IDs
+5. Required output schema
+
+De systempolicy verbiedt instructies uit evidence, externe navigatie, toolcalls en secret disclosure.
+
+## Controls
+
+- Trust level en source provenance in retrieval.
+- Hidden/obfuscated text en suspicious instruction patterns als signals, niet als enige blocker.
+- Geen tools in normale generation context.
+- Geen automatic execution of modeloutput.
+- Answerclaim/citationvalidation.
+- Adversarial fixture corpus met direct, indirect, encoded en multilingual injections.
+- Quarantine of lower trust voor poisoned source updates.
+
+## Limiet
+
+Promptfilters alleen zijn onvoldoende. De primaire beveiliging is scheiding van bevoegdheden, geen tools, minimale context, databeleid en menselijke/policy approval voor acties buiten RAGCore.

+# Security Controls
+
+## Identity
+
+OIDC voor mensen; gehashte, roteerbare service tokens met scopes en expiry voor applications. Tokens worden slechts eenmaal getoond.
+
+## Authorization
+
+Deny by default, explicit grants, effective-space intersection, use-case policies, database scoping, verplichte Qdrantfilters en resource reauthorization voor citations/downloads.
+
+## Operations isolation
+
+Iedere workspace-scoped job draagt expliciete ownership: `jobs.jobs.workspace_id`
+is een echte kolom (migratie 0018), geen veld in `payload`. Elke lijst, teller,
+detailpagina en mutatie filtert daarop in de query zelf --- nooit op rijen die al
+opgehaald zijn.
+
+- `PLATFORM_ADMIN` krijgt de expliciete globale scope (`workspace_id=None`) en
+  ziet dat ook op het scherm staan (`Scope: All workspaces`).
+- `WORKSPACE_ADMIN` en `AUDITOR` zijn gebonden aan `principal.workspace_id`, voor
+  lijst, statustellers, filters, source-namen, detail en retry. `AUDITOR` is
+  read-only: retry vereist een rol uit `_RETRY_ROLES`.
+- Een job zonder ownership (`workspace_id IS NULL`, alleen mogelijk voor rijen van
+  vóór 0018 waarvan de eigenaar niet betrouwbaar vast te stellen was) faalt
+  gesloten: onzichtbaar en onmuteerbaar voor iedere workspace-scoped principal,
+  uitsluitend inspecteerbaar door een platform admin. Er is nergens een
+  `payload.get("workspace_id") or principal.workspace_id`-fallback; die kende een
+  ownerloze job toe aan wie er toevallig naar keek.
+- Tellers zijn ook tenantdata. Dashboard- en System Health-queuecijfers gebruiken
+  dezelfde scope als de Jobs-lijst.
+- Ook de operatorfilters (status, type) en de paginering zijn predicaten van
+  diezelfde query (`JobListFilter` --- migratie 0019 voegt de bijbehorende index
+  toe). Er wordt dus geen bredere set opgehaald dan getoond wordt: elke rij die
+  dit proces binnenkomt is er één die deze principal mag zien. De vijf tellers
+  boven de tabel blijven bewust een scope-brede samenvatting van de wachtrij en
+  het scherm zegt dat er ook bij.
+- Retry dwingt ownership af in het `UPDATE` zelf, niet in een voorafgaande read:
+  een cross-tenant mutatie die alleen onder concurrency lukt is nog steeds een
+  cross-tenant mutatie. Een geweigerde toegang of retry wordt vastgelegd als
+  `SECURITY_FAILURE` met actor, workspace, actie, doel en reden --- zonder payload.
+
+Nieuwe jobs kunnen niet ownerloos ontstaan: `JobService.enqueue` eist
+`workspace_id` en `PostgresJobRepository.enqueue` weigert een `Job` zonder.
+
+## Filesystem-backed sources
+
+Een Folder-source, en de lokale checkout root van een Git-source, geven de worker
+een leesprimitief op de host: alles onder dat pad wordt vindbare content. Dat is
+iets anders dan content beheren, dus het vereist `FILESYSTEM_SOURCE_MANAGE`
+*bovenop* `SOURCE_MANAGE`, bij zowel aanmaken als bewerken (bewerken is precies
+hoe een goedgekeurde source op een andere directory gericht wordt).
+
+Gekozen model: **alleen `PLATFORM_ADMIN`**. `RAGCORE_SOURCE_ROOTS` is één
+deployment-brede lijst zonder per-workspace mapping, dus een pad binnen de
+allowlist kan prima het corpus van een andere tenant zijn; een workspace admin met
+dit recht zou workspace B kunnen lezen door er een source op te richten. Zolang
+roots niet per workspace geconfigureerd zijn, is het kiezen van een serverpad een
+deploymentbeslissing en hoort die bij de rol die de deployment bezit. Per-workspace
+roots (het sterkere self-service model) blijven mogelijk als self-service
+filesystem sources later echt nodig blijken.
+
+Alleen de gevoelige kinds zijn beperkt: `SOURCE_MANAGE` blijft ongewijzigd voor
+Editors en Space Managers, en upload-sources worden er niet moeilijker door.
+
+Autorisatie en sandbox zijn twee onafhankelijke poorten, allebei altijd vereist:
+
+- `RAGCORE_SOURCE_ROOTS` blijft lexicaal afgedwongen bij opslaan, en volledig
+  geresolved (symlinks gevolgd) in worker en connector vlak voor iedere read. Een
+  pad buiten elke root wordt geweigerd --- ook voor een platform admin. Zonder
+  geconfigureerde roots kan geen enkele filesystem-source bestaan.
+- De source mounts horen read-only te zijn. Dat is een security-invariant, niet
+  alleen een aanbeveling: het is wat het resterende TOCTOU-venster tussen
+  padvalidatie, `stat` en `open` onschadelijk maakt. Zijn de directories muteerbaar
+  door niet-vertrouwde actoren, dan is die aanname geschonden.
+
+## Network
+
+Alleen app achter reverse proxy. PostgreSQL/Qdrant/worker op internal network. Geen debug/adminpoorten publiek. Egress voor connector/modelworkers zo beperkt mogelijk.
+
+## Content
+
+MIME sniffing, allowlists, size/time/depth limits, archive-bombdetectie, quarantine, sandboxing waar haalbaar, geen macro/scriptuitvoering en read-only source mounts.
+
+## Secrets
+
+Environment/secrets mount, geen plaintext in database/logs/evidence, redaction processor, onafhankelijke token pepper en rotatieprocedure.
+
+## Abuse prevention
+
+Rate limits per principal/application, request/body/token/context limits, bounded concurrency, job quotas en circuit breakers.
+
+## Audit
+
+Append-only events voor auth, grants, source changes, publication, modelroute, adminacties en security failures. Querycontentlogbeleid is per space configureerbaar.

+
+## ModelForge M6 boundary
+
+The ModelForge credential is a mode-0600 read-only mounted file, not environment content. Adapter
+requests contain transient text but logs/metrics contain only provider name, correlation and timing.
+The adapter rejects cloud hosts and has no cloud fallback. Public retrieval cannot select the
+shadow collection; only the operator command may target it.
+
+## Assets
+
+Documentbytes, parsed content, embeddings, queries, answers, credentials, grants, modelroutes, auditlogs en hersteldata.
+
+## Trust boundaries
+
+Internet/LAN client -> reverse proxy -> RAGCore app -> internal services; source connector -> ingestion; RAGCore -> modelprovider; operator -> backupmedia.
+
+## Belangrijkste dreigingen
+
+1. Cross-workspace/space data leakage, inclusief operationele metadata: joblijsten,
+   statustellers, source-namen en foreign job retry (zie Operations isolation in
+   `SECURITY_CONTROLS.md`).
+2. Gestolen service token of sessie.
+3. Prompt injection in documenten.
+4. Data poisoning of kwaadaardige bronupdates.
+5. Path traversal, SSRF, archive bomb en parser exploit.
+6. Onbedoeld versturen van local-only data naar cloudprovider.
+7. Qdrant/DB exposure of filterbypass.
+8. Citation IDOR en historical-content leakage.
+9. Job duplication/race die halfgepubliceerde index veroorzaakt.
+10. Backup met secrets of onverifieerbare restore.
+11. Resource exhaustion via uploads, queries of modelcalls.
+12. Supply-chain of model-update regressie.
+
+## Security acceptance
+
+Voor ieder bedreigingsscenario bestaan preventieve controls, detectie, negatieve tests en een herstel/runbook. Critical/high bevindingen blokkeren milestone release.

+# Design System
+
+## Visuele richting
+
+Professionele donkere beheerinterface met hoge informatiedichtheid zonder rommel. Neutrale oppervlakken, één primaire accentkleur, duidelijke typografische hiërarchie en consistente spacingtokens.
+
+## Componenten
+
+App shell, breadcrumb, page header, status badge, operation journey, metric card, data table, filter bar, form field, tabs, timeline, code block, citation card, confirmation dialog, toast en inline problem panel.
+
+## Tokens
+
+Gebruik CSS custom properties voor color, spacing, radius, shadow, typography en focus ring. Geen willekeurige inlinewaarden. Statuskleuren hebben tekst/iconen en geteste contrastverhoudingen.
+
+De producttokens staan in `static/admin.css` onder `:root`. De primaire
+accentkleur is warm amber op een diepe blauwzwarte basis; groen, rood en blauw
+blijven uitsluitend semantische statuskleuren. Panelen gebruiken een zichtbare
+rand en oppervlaktetint in plaats van overvloedige drop shadows. Gewone tekst
+blijft minimaal 13–14 px; 10–12 px is alleen voor korte labels en metadata.
+Iedere statusbadge combineert zijn tekst met een onderscheidend symbool
+(check, waarschuwing, fout, info of pending); kleur is nooit de enige drager.
+De operation journey gebruikt iconen en pijlen als compacte oriëntatie, maar
+blijft een semantisch gelabelde `nav` met echte links.
+
+## Productidentiteit en shell
+
+Het RAGCore-beeldmerk is een lokale inline SVG: begrenzende haken rond vier
+verbonden evidencepunten. Daardoor blijft het scherp zonder extern asset en
+herkenbaar in login en navigatie. De login koppelt de merkbelofte aan drie echte
+capabilities: governed sources, dense+sparse retrieval en cited answers.
+
+De desktop-shell houdt de gegroepeerde navigatie zichtbaar vanaf 1024 px.
+Tablet en mobiel gebruiken een focus-begrensde drawer met Escape-herstel; zo
+blijft op 768 px voldoende ruimte over voor inhoud. De topbar toont paginacontext,
+deployment environment en de vaste local-first architectuurrichting, geen
+verzonnen live status.
+
+## Responsive gedrag
+
+- 1024 px en breder: vaste zijbalk; dashboardflow vier of twee kolommen.
+- 768–1023 px: navigatiedrawer; inhoud over de volledige viewport.
+- 375–767 px: acties stapelen, metriekkaarten worden één kolom en de
+  source-to-answerflow wordt een verticale route.
+- Dichte Sources-, Documents- en Jobs-tabellen worden onder 768 px semantische
+  recordkaarten. Iedere cel herhaalt haar kolomlabel; filters worden één kolom
+  en gebruiken de volledige breedte. Op desktop blijft de tabelweergave intact.
+- De publieke login toont op tablet/mobiel eerst de SSO-actie en daarna de
+  productuitleg; de DOM- en focusvolgorde blijft logisch omdat de uitleg geen
+  interactieve elementen bevat.
+- `prefers-reduced-motion` reduceert alle animaties en transities tot één frame.
+

+# Screen Catalog
+
+## V1 schermen
+
+1. Sign-in/OIDC callback/failure.
+2. Dashboard — **vernieuwd in M10-01**: een source-to-answer capability map
+   (Sources, durable ingest, dense+sparse/RRF retrieval, grounded answers met
+   citations), plus geautoriseerde application/space/policy-tellingen, echte
+   health- en jobstatus, profile-activationstatus en links naar de bestaande
+   operationele schermen. Niet-geïmplementeerde backup- of indexacties worden
+   niet als dashboardstatus verzonnen.
+3. Workspaces/applications/service accounts.
+4. Knowledge spaces met policies en grants.
+5. Sources list/create/detail/sync history — **geïmplementeerd (1.2.0), operationele flow vernieuwd in M10-02**: `/admin/sources`, detail met Overview/Configuration/Documents/Sync history, acties Sync now/Pause/Resume/Edit/Delete (confirm + audit); folder/Git aanmaken, website nog niet. Documenttellingen linken naar het echte bronfilter en synchistorie onderscheidt wachtende child-ingests van complete en gedeeltelijk mislukte runs.
+6. Documents list/detail/versions/chunks/artifacts — **geïmplementeerd (1.2.0), operationele flow vernieuwd in M10-02**: `/admin/documents` workspace-breed met search/filter/paginering; detail met Overview/Chunks/Metadata/Versions/Jobs en failure-uitleg. Het bronfilter toont alleen een workspace-eigen bronnaam en paginering behoudt alle actieve filters.
+7. Jobs list/detail/events/retry — **geïmplementeerd (1.2.0)**: `/admin/jobs` en `/admin/jobs/{id}` met attempts/timing; retry alleen voor terminale jobs met retryable laatste fout. **1.2.1**: status- en typefilter en paginering draaien server-side in dezelfde workspace-gescopete query (niet meer als filter over een opgehaalde pagina), pagineringlinks behouden het actieve filter, en de vijf tellers boven de tabel blijven expliciet een scope-brede samenvatting van de wachtrij. **M10-02**: source/document/job-details linken onderling via de persistente, workspace-gescopete identiteit; vreemde, ontbrekende of voor de huidige rol onbereikbare relaties worden fail-closed niet als link gerenderd. Een retry-race eindigt als conflict en nooit als verzonnen succes.
+8. Query Lab: selector-first formulier (spaces, sources, documents, talen, content types, trust, profiel) + Advanced raw-ID's; inspector Summary/Candidates/Fusion/Context/Answer/Trace met dense/sparse rank+score en RRF-bijdragen; een rerank-sectie verschijnt alleen wanneer die stap actief is (nu niet).
+9. Profiles: embedding-profielactivatie/rollback (`/admin/profiles`); reranker- en retrievalprofielen hebben geen registry.
+10. Evaluations: suites, cases, runs en comparison — **niet als scherm geëxposeerd** (offline `EvaluationRunner`/JSON-stores; geen navigatie-entry).
+11. Auditlog met veilige filters — **niet als scherm geëxposeerd**; gedocumenteerde beperking.
+12. Operations: `/admin/system` (readiness, queue, versie, actief embeddingprofiel, Docling/OIDC/telemetry) — backup/restore/reindex blijven runbooks/scripts, geen lege navigatie.
+
+Navigatie (1.2.0): Overview · Knowledge (Spaces, Sources, Documents, Ingestion Jobs) · Access (Applications, Policies) · Quality (Query Lab, Profile Activation) · Operations (System Health).
+
+Iedere screen krijgt empty/loading/error/forbidden/degraded states en auditbare beheeracties. De drie operationele lijsten en hun detailtabellen schakelen onder 768 px naar gelabelde recordkaarten, zodat geen betekenis alleen in een verborgen tabelkop of horizontale scroll blijft zitten.

+# UX Specification
+
+## Technologie
+
+V1 gebruikt server-rendered Jinja2 + HTMX voor beheer en Query Lab. Dit houdt één deployment, gedeelde auth en weinig frontendbuildcomplexiteit. Een rijkere SPA is pas gerechtvaardigd door gemeten UX-beperkingen.
+
+## Principes
+
+- Desktop-first beheer maar volledig bruikbaar op tablet/mobiel.
+- Status en gevaar worden niet alleen door kleur gecommuniceerd.
+- Tabellen hebben zoek/filter/paginatie en behouden URL-state.
+- Destructieve acties tonen impact en vereisen bevestiging.
+- Langlopende acties tonen jobstatus en blijven na refresh volgen.
+- Query Lab verklaart retrieval in begrijpelijke lagen.
+- Geen gevoelige documenttekst in algemene dashboards.
+
+## Accessibility
+
+WCAG 2.2 AA-doel: keyboard navigation, zichtbare focus, labels, landmarks, contrast, reduced motion en semantische statusupdates.
+
+De mobiele navigatie verplaatst focus bij openen naar de eerste link, houdt Tab
+binnen de drawer en herstelt focus naar de menuknop bij Escape. Het hoofdgebied
+is een expliciet skip-linkdoel. Controls hebben op compacte viewports minimaal
+44 px bedieningshoogte; status blijft steeds als tekst beschikbaar.
+
+## Dashboard als capability map
+
+De eerste inhoud na de page header is de echte keten
+`Sources → Ingest → Retrieve → Answer`. De kaart gebruikt alleen vaste,
+geïmplementeerde capabilitytekst en geautoriseerde runtimegegevens: jobstatus en
+het aantal zichtbare applications. Retrieval heet expliciet dense+sparse met
+deterministische RRF-fusion; reranking wordt nergens als actieve stap voorgesteld.
+Iedere stap linkt naar het bestaande beheerscherm dat de operator nodig heeft.
+
+Onbereikbare stores en ontbrekende rechten worden als unavailable/restricted
+getoond. Een ontbrekende waarde wordt nooit als nul, healthy of success
+gepresenteerd. Algemene dashboards tonen geen documentinhoud.
+
+## Operationele bron-naar-zoekflow
+
+De schermen Sources, Documents en Ingestion Jobs vormen één navigeerbare keten
+`Source → Document → Processing`. Een compacte journey-balk blijft op lijst- en
+detailschermen zichtbaar. Details gebruiken de meest specifieke geautoriseerde
+relatie: bron naar zijn gefilterde documenten, document naar het producerende
+job en ingest-job terug naar het werkelijk geproduceerde document. Ontbrekende
+of workspace-vreemde relaties worden niet geraden en krijgen geen link. Ook
+generieke journey-stappen en lijstvelden linken alleen wanneer de huidige rol
+de doelroute werkelijk kan openen; opgeslagen failure-job-ID's worden opnieuw
+op bestaan en workspace-eigendom gecontroleerd voordat ze klikbaar worden.
+
+Filters en paginering blijven URL-state en behouden elkaar. Een bronfilter toont
+de geautoriseerde bronnaam; een onbekende of vreemde bron wordt alleen als
+onbeschikbaar omschreven. Syncuitkomsten onderscheiden discovery, wachtende
+child-ingests, volledige convergentie, gedeeltelijke mislukking en terminale
+mislukking. Hersteltekst verwijst naar de bestaande retry-actie wanneer die
+voor de gekoppelde job werkelijk beschikbaar kan zijn.

+# Backup and Restore
+
+## Backupset
+
+1. PostgreSQL consistente dump/base backup.
+2. Immutable blobs en parsed artifacts.
+3. Qdrant collection snapshots.
+4. Collection aliases en profile/configexport.
+5. Secret/configmanifest zonder plaintext secretwaarden.
+6. Softwareversie, migration revision en checksums.
+
+## Restorevolgorde
+
+Secrets/config -> PostgreSQL -> blobs -> parsed artifacts -> Qdrant snapshots -> aliases -> reconciliation -> golden evaluations -> security tests -> traffic.
+
+## Validatie
+
+Een backup telt pas als geslaagd na automatische restore naar lege tijdelijke omgeving. Controleer row/point/blob counts, referential integrity, sampled hashes, citations, golden queries en cross-space denial.
+
+## RPO/RTO V1
+
+Startdoel: dagelijkse volledige consistente backup plus incrementele blobbackup; RPO 24 uur, RTO 4 uur. Later alleen aanpassen op gemeten noodzaak.

+# Unraid Deployment
+
+## Opslag
+
+Active state gebruikt directe SSD/NVMe poolpaden:
+
+```text
+/mnt/<pool>/appdata/ragcore/postgres
+/mnt/<pool>/appdata/ragcore/qdrant
+/mnt/<pool>/appdata/ragcore/blobs
+/mnt/<pool>/appdata/ragcore/parsed
+/mnt/<pool>/appdata/ragcore/tmp
+```
+
+Gebruik voor PostgreSQL/Qdrant **niet** `/mnt/pool/appdata/...`. Backupexports mogen naar `/mnt/pool/backups/ragcore`.
+
+## Deployment
+
+- Maak `.env` uit voorbeeld en genereer unieke secrets.
+- Zet `RAGCORE_STATE_ROOT` naar direct poolpad.
+- Start Compose; houd `models` profiel uit wanneer centrale Ollama bestaat.
+- Maak één dedicated extern Docker-netwerk voor Nginx Proxy Manager en RAGCore.
+- Configureer Nginx Proxy Manager naar `ragcore-app:8080` op dat netwerk.
+- Publiceer de app-hostpoort uitsluitend op `127.0.0.1`; stuur nooit bearer-tokens
+  rechtstreeks over een LAN-HTTP-poort.
+- Koppel Authentik/OIDC in productie.
+- Publiceer geen PostgreSQL/Qdrant/Ollamapoort.
+
+### Reverse-proxy trust boundary
+
+Productie accepteert `X-Forwarded-*` uitsluitend van de expliciet ingestelde
+proxy-IP/CIDR. Wildcardtrust (`*`, `0.0.0.0/0`, `::/0`) wordt bij startup
+geweigerd. Een dedicated netwerk voorkomt dat een willekeurige container binnen
+een breed gedeeld subnet als vertrouwde proxy kan optreden.
+
+Eenmalige netwerkinitialisatie voor de gedocumenteerde Unraid-topologie:
+
+```bash
+docker network create --driver bridge --subnet 172.30.50.0/29 ragcore-proxy
+docker network connect --ip 172.30.50.2 ragcore-proxy NginxProxyManager
+```
+
+Voeg aan `.env` toe:
+
+```dotenv
+RAGCORE_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://rag.example.com
+RAGCORE_TRUSTED_PROXY_IPS=172.30.50.2
+RAGCORE_PROXY_NETWORK=ragcore-proxy
+```
+
+De productie-Compose koppelt `app` met alias `ragcore-app` aan dit externe
+netwerk. Stel de Nginx Proxy Manager upstream in op scheme `http`, hostname
+`ragcore-app`, port `8080`. Controleer HTTPS vóór de oude upstream wordt
+verwijderd. De loopback-hostpoort blijft alleen voor lokale healthchecks en
+rollbackdiagnose beschikbaar. Vertrouw bij voorkeur uitsluitend het statische
+IP van Nginx Proxy Manager. Een CIDR is alleen correct wanneer elk adres in dat
+bereik een geautoriseerde proxy is; een Docker-netwerkgateway valt ook binnen
+het subnet en mag daarom niet impliciet forwardingheaders mogen aanleveren.
+
+## Preflight
+
+Beschikbare disk/RAM, filesystem, ownership UID 10001, klok/NTP, backupdoel, modelendpoint en reverse-proxy headers controleren:
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/unraid_preflight.py \
+  --state-root /mnt/<pool>/appdata/ragcore \
+  --backup-dir /mnt/pool/backups/ragcore \
+  --ollama-url http://<ollama-host>:11434 \
+  --base-url https://ragcore.example.com
+```
+
+Blokkerende bevindingen (`[BLOCK]`, o.a. een actieve `/mnt/user`-status voor
+`--state-root`) stoppen de deploy; `[WARN]` is informatief (bijv. klok-sync
+niet vast te stellen buiten een Linux-host).
+
+## Operational runbook
+
+Alle commando's hieronder gaan uit van `compose.yaml` + `compose.production.yaml`
+samen; nooit `compose.test.yaml` of `compose.restore-test.yaml` in productie
+(die zijn uitsluitend voor lokale/testomgevingen).
+
+### Start (eerste deploy of na reboot)
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env   # eenmalig; vul echte secrets en RAGCORE_STATE_ROOT in
+python3 scripts/unraid_preflight.py --state-root /mnt/<pool>/appdata/ragcore --backup-dir /mnt/pool/backups/ragcore
+docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.production.yaml up -d
+python3 scripts/check_app_health.py --base-url https://rag.example.com
+```
+
+### Stop
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.production.yaml stop
+```
+
+Gebruik `down` (in plaats van `stop`) alleen wanneer je ook de containers en
+het (interne) netwerk wilt verwijderen; volumes/bind mounts (dus alle data)
+blijven in beide gevallen ongemoeid tenzij `-v` wordt toegevoegd -- gebruik
+`-v` nooit in productie.
+
+### Upgrade
+
+```bash
+# 1. Backup vóór elke upgrade (zie runbooks/BACKUP.md)
+python3 scripts/backup.py --backup-root /mnt/pool/backups/ragcore
+
+# 2. Nieuwe image ophalen/bouwen en migreren
+git pull   # of: nieuwe release-ZIP uitpakken
+docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.production.yaml build app worker mcp
+docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.production.yaml run --rm app alembic upgrade head
+
+# 3. Rollend herstarten
+docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.production.yaml up -d
+python3 scripts/check_app_health.py --base-url https://rag.example.com
+```
+
+Zie `docs/09_OPERATIONS/UPGRADE_STRATEGY.md` voor het volledige beleid
+(o.a. backward-compatibele migraties, nooit in-place index-upgrades).
+
+### Rollback
+
+Applicatie-rollback (voorkeur, geen restore):
+
+```bash
+git checkout <vorige-release-tag-of-commit>   # of: vorige release-ZIP
+docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.production.yaml build app worker mcp
+docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.production.yaml up -d
+```
+
+Migraties zijn per beleid backward-compatible voor minstens één release, dus
+een applicatie-rollback tegen de nieuwere schema-versie werkt zonder
+`alembic downgrade`. Een volledige restore vanaf backup is het laatste
+redmiddel, niet de normale rollback-weg -- zie `runbooks/RESTORE.md`.
+
+Index-/profielactivatie-rollback (indien van toepassing) gaat via
+`/admin/profiles` (M4-07's `ProfileActivationService`), niet via deze
+Compose-commando's.

+# Upgrade Strategy
+
+## Applicatie
+
+Build immutable image, run migrations/preflight, deploy, verify health and smoke tests. Database migrations are backward compatible for at least one application rollout whenever practical.
+
+## Embedding/index
+
+Never in place. Register new profile, build shadow collection, evaluate, activate alias, retain old build for rollback.
+
+## PostgreSQL/Qdrant
+
+Pin exact supported versions, read release notes, test backup restore and application suite in staging/temporary environment, then maintenance deployment. No automatic major upgrades.
+
+## Rollback
+
+Application image rollback plus compatible migration strategy; index alias rollback for retrieval; config/profile activation history. Restore is last resort, not ordinary rollback.
+
+## Upgrade naar 1.2.1
+
+Deze release bundelt drie rondes: SOURCE-CONVERGENCE (migratie `0017`),
+OPERATIONS-ISOLATION (`0018`) en RELEASE-CLEANUP (`0019`). Eén
+`alembic upgrade head` voert ze in volgorde uit; de stappen hieronder
+beschrijven wat er per ronde verandert en wat je vóór de uitrol moet zetten.
+
+### SOURCE-CONVERGENCE (`0017`)
+
+1. **Eerst configureren, dan uitrollen.** `RAGCORE_SOURCE_ROOTS` is een expliciete
+   allowlist van server-side paden die een Folder- of Git-bron mag lezen, en is
+   *leeg by default* -- fail closed. Zolang die leeg is kan geen enkele
+   filesystem-bron worden aangemaakt of gesynchroniseerd, en falen bestaande
+   folder/Git-syncs **terminaal** (`source path is outside every allowed source
+   root`). Zet de waarde dus vóór de uitrol, met de paden zoals de *worker* ze
+   ziet, en zorg dat elk pad ook read-only in de worker gemount is
+   (`RAGCORE_SOURCE_MOUNT` in `compose.yaml`). Mount zonder allowlist leest
+   niets; allowlist zonder mount resolvet niet. Er is bewust geen impliciete
+   default, `/` al helemaal niet.
+2. Migratie `0017_source_convergence` (`alembic upgrade head`) voegt de
+   convergentie-administratie toe aan `content.source_items`
+   (`applied_fingerprint`, `applied_at`, `pending_job_id`, `attempts`,
+   `last_failure_code`, `last_failure_retryable`), `pending` aan
+   `source_sync_runs`, verbreedt `sync_state`/`outcome` naar 32 tekens, en
+   vervangt de foreign key van `content.documents` door een samengestelde
+   `(source_id, workspace_id, space_id)` met een bijbehorende unique key op
+   `content.sources`.
+3. **Twee datawijzigingen in die migratie, geen schemawijzigingen:**
+   (a) bestaande onthouden items worden als *applied* gebackfilld -- ze zijn
+   geïngest onder het oude model, waarin een afgeronde discovery het enige
+   completion-signaal was; (b) een bron die door `0016` over meerdere knowledge
+   spaces heen mocht liggen wordt gesplitst naar per-space zusterbronnen
+   (deterministisch afgeleid id) en de documenten daarvan worden omgehangen.
+4. Qdrant-punten van zulke *gesplitste* documenten dragen nog het oude
+   `source_id`. Draai daarna een authoritative reconcile/rebuild van de actieve
+   collectie, net als bij de 1.2.0-upgrade. Controleer vooraf of er iets te
+   splitsen valt:
+
+   ```sql
+   SELECT DISTINCT d.source_id, d.workspace_id, d.space_id
+   FROM content.documents AS d
+   JOIN content.sources AS s ON s.id = d.source_id
+   WHERE d.workspace_id <> s.workspace_id OR d.space_id <> s.space_id;
+   ```
+
+   Geen rijen = geen split en geen rebuild nodig voor deze stap.
+5. **Downgrade is niet symmetrisch.** De split wordt niet teruggedraaid (de
+   zusterbronnen zijn echte bronnen geworden), en `awaiting_ingest` /
+   `completed_with_failures` bestaan niet in het oude schema: die vallen bij een
+   downgrade terug op `applying` respectievelijk `failed`, zodat een
+   gedowngrade deployment "onaf of mislukt" leest in plaats van "geslaagd".
+6. Verwachte gedragsverandering na de uitrol: een sync meldt `awaiting_ingest`
+   tot zijn child-`ingest_upload`-jobs teruggerapporteerd hebben, en
+   `last_successful_sync_at` schuift alleen op bij een volledig geconvergeerde
+   run. Een bron die eerder direct "Last sync ok" toonde, toont nu eerst
+   "Indexing" -- dat is de correctie, geen regressie.
+
+### OPERATIONS-ISOLATION (`0018`)
+
+7. Migratie `0018_job_workspace_ownership` maakt eigenaarschap van een job een
+   echte kolom (`jobs.jobs.workspace_id`, geïndexeerd) en voegt
+   `content.source_items.last_failure_job_id` toe. De backfill is bewust
+   fail-closed: alleen een `payload->>'workspace_id'` die zowel een geldige
+   UUID is *als* een bestaande workspace aanwijst wordt overgenomen. Al het
+   andere blijft `NULL` = *legacy*, en dat betekent onzichtbaar en
+   onwijzigbaar voor elke workspace-gebonden principal; alleen een Platform
+   Admin ziet zulke jobs nog. Verwachte gedragsverandering: een operator die
+   vóór deze upgrade jobs van andere tenants zag, ziet nu alleen de eigen
+   workspace. Controleer hoeveel rijen legacy blijven:
+
+   ```sql
+   SELECT count(*) FROM jobs.jobs WHERE workspace_id IS NULL;
+   ```
+
+   Die jobs zijn niet stuk; ze zijn alleen niet toewijsbaar. Laat ze aflopen of
+   ruim ze op als Platform Admin.
+8. **`FILESYSTEM_SOURCE_MANAGE` is nieuw en ligt uitsluitend bij
+   `PLATFORM_ADMIN`.** Een Folder- of Git-bron aanmaken *of wijzigen* vereist
+   die permissie bovenop `SOURCE_MANAGE`. Workspace Admins en Space Managers
+   die vóór deze upgrade filesystem-bronnen beheerden, kunnen dat niet meer;
+   plan wie dat overneemt. De permissie en de `RAGCORE_SOURCE_ROOTS`-sandbox
+   zijn onafhankelijke poorten: een pad buiten de allowlist wordt ook voor een
+   Platform Admin geweigerd.
+
+### RELEASE-CLEANUP (`0019`)
+
+9. Migratie `0019_job_listing_index` voegt alleen een index toe
+   (`ix_jobs_workspace_status_recent` op `(workspace_id, status, updated_at)`).
+   Geen datawijziging, geen gedragsverandering buiten performance: het
+   jobsoverzicht filtert vanaf deze release in SQL over de hele workspace in
+   plaats van over een opgehaalde pagina, en dit is de index waarop die query
+   draait. Op een grote `jobs.jobs` kost het aanmaken kort een write-lock;
+   gebruik zo nodig `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` buiten Alembic om en markeer de
+   migratie daarna als uitgevoerd.
+
+## Upgrade naar 1.2.0
+
+1. Migratie `0016_sources_lifecycle` (`alembic upgrade head`) maakt `content.sources`,
+   `source_sync_runs`, `source_items`, voegt `documents.source_id` (NOT NULL, FK) toe en
+   backfillt die uit `source_key` met dezelfde regel die de runtime gebruikt
+   (UUID-vormige key = caller-bron; anders de ingebouwde *Uploads*-bron van de space).
+   Voor iedere backfilled bron ontstaat een registry-record (kind `upload`).
+2. Qdrant-punten die vóór 1.2.0 zijn geïndexeerd dragen nog het oude synthetische
+   `source_id` (uuid5 per document). Draai na de migratie een authoritative
+   reconcile/rebuild van de actieve collectie (`IndexBuildService.reconcile`/`build`,
+   beide gebruiken nu de canonical IndexPoint-mapping) zodat `source_ids`-filters en
+   provenance ook voor bestaande content kloppen; tot die tijd matchen filters op die
+   oude punten niet.
+3. Worker en app opnieuw uitrollen (nieuwe job-operation `sync_source`; nieuwe
+   Control Plane-routes `/admin/sources`, `/admin/documents`, `/admin/system`).
+4. SDK-consumers: de citation-schema's kregen additieve optionele velden
+   (`source_id`, `source_name`, `source_kind`, `locator`, `revision`, `display`).

+severity: warning
+description: >
+  A model provider (embedding, reranker or generation) has failed enough
+  consecutive calls to trip its circuit breaker open. Calls to that
+  provider are being rejected immediately for the breaker's cooldown
+  window rather than retried against a provider that is currently down.

+    identify which one tripped.
+  - >-
+    Confirm unaffected surfaces -- retrieval (`/v1/search`, `/v1/context`)
+    does not depend on any generation provider and continues to serve
+    normally regardless of this alert.
+  - >-
+    No manual reset is required -- the circuit automatically half-opens
+    after its cooldown window (see the paired `provider_circuit_half_open`
+    event) and closes again on the next successful call
+    (`provider_circuit_closed`).
+  - >-
+    If `provider_circuit_open` keeps recurring across several cooldown
+    cycles for the same provider, treat it as a genuine outage and escalate
+    per the provider's own on-call runbook.

+# Backup Runbook
+
+This runbook becomes executable in M6-04. Until then it is the required contract.
+
+1. Verify app/database/Qdrant readiness and available backup space.
+2. Create backup ID and incomplete manifest.
+3. Export a consistent PostgreSQL backup and record migration revision.
+4. Snapshot active Qdrant collections and export aliases plus active embedding/generation profile revisions (never provider credentials).
+5. Incrementally copy immutable blobs and parsed artifacts.
+6. Generate checksums and file/count inventory.
+7. Verify every artifact and mark manifest complete atomically.
+8. Copy completed set to protected backup share/off-host target.
+9. Trigger an empty-environment restore test according to schedule.
+
+Never include `.env`, plaintext credentials or model provider keys. A partial set is never promoted as latest good backup.

+# Incident Runbook
+
+## Triage
+
+Identify trace IDs, affected workspace/application/space, component health and whether confidentiality, integrity or availability is affected. Preserve evidence and avoid logging sensitive content.
+
+## Containment examples
+
+- Revoke service credential/session.
+- Disable application, source, knowledge space or model profile.
+- Stop workers while keeping search read-only where safe.
+- Revert Qdrant alias to previous validated build.
+- Block connector egress or quarantine source.
+
+## Recovery
+
+Use authoritative PostgreSQL/blobs/artifacts, reconciliation, tested backup/restore and golden/security gates. Never declare recovery based only on container health.
+
+## Post-incident
+
+Timeline, root cause, affected data, controls, tests, backlog remediation and credential/model/index rotations as needed.

+# Reindex runbook
+
+## Purpose
+
+Rebuild the derived Qdrant index from PostgreSQL and immutable blob authority without exposing a partially built collection to readers. PostgreSQL and immutable blobs remain authoritative; Qdrant is rebuildable derived state.
+
+## Preconditions
+
+- Confirm the requested collection profile, embedding model digest, dimensions and chunk profile version.
+- Confirm the authoritative source is available and the effective knowledge-space policy is unchanged for the build.
+- Use the application/worker entry point (`IndexBuildService`) and its injected `QdrantRebuildStore`; do not write directly to Qdrant from a route or maintenance shell.
+- Confirm the Qdrant API key is supplied through the runtime secret mechanism. Never place it in this file, logs or evidence.
+
+## Distributed alias locking
+
+Every build, rollback and reconcile call is serialized per alias by a PostgreSQL-backed lease lock (`indexes.index_build_operations`), not an in-process lock, so it is safe with multiple app/worker replicas. Acquisition is a bounded, polled retry (default 30s timeout) that raises `IndexLockTimeoutError` rather than hanging. A lease auto-expires if the holder crashes; the next acquisition attempt reclaims it, tags the stale row `needs_repair` so the crash stays visible, and proceeds. The same row is the saga log: every meaningful step (`created_shadow`, `streamed_build`, `validated`, `smoke_passed`, `activated`, `rolled_back`, `repaired`) is appended with a timestamp for audit and diagnosis.
+
+## Rebuild and activation
+
+1. Read the authoritative point stream from PostgreSQL and immutable blobs, bounded by both the per-point-count limit and the cumulative per-build byte quota (`MAX_BUILD_BYTES`); many small points cannot evade the quota, since every batch's actual serialized bytes (all payload fields, sparse vectors and the fingerprint fields) are counted, not just text length.
+2. Create the versioned shadow collection `rag_<kind>_<profile>_<version>` and validate its vector configuration and payload indexes.
+3. Upsert bounded batches. The adapter adds an authoritative point fingerprint to each payload; application code does not accept arbitrary Qdrant payload keys.
+4. Before activation, validate exact point count, the full deterministic ID/fingerprint digest, the deterministic sample digest and the required golden-query smoke test. Any malformed point discovered during this listing fails the build outright (a shadow collection must be perfectly clean before it can ever be activated).
+5. Activate `rag_<kind>_<profile>_active` atomically only after all checks pass.
+6. Keep the previous collection until the retention policy permits retirement.
+
+A failed validation leaves the active alias unchanged. Do not force activation after a failed count, digest, sample or smoke check.
+
+### Compensating rollback on failure
+
+Any failure before activation is attempted deletes the orphaned shadow collection (nothing was ever aliased, so nothing is unsafe to reclaim) and records `failed_compensated`. Any failure during or after the activation call is treated as dangerous even if the call itself raised: the service forces the alias back to the last known-good `previous_collection` and re-verifies it before drawing any conclusion.
+
+- If that forced restore is confirmed, the operation is `failed_compensated` and the orphaned shadow is best-effort deleted.
+- If the forced restore itself cannot be confirmed, the operation is marked `needs_repair` and the call raises `IndexRepairError` instead of a plain build error — this must never be reported as a clean failure, since the live alias state is unconfirmed and requires manual repair.
+- If compensation runs but the shadow collection cannot be deleted, the operation is `failed_compensation_incomplete` (a resource leak, not a correctness risk, since the alias was never pointed at it).
+
+## Rollback
+
+Use the recorded `previous_collection` from the build report. `IndexBuildService.rollback` deletes the current alias target and recreates the alias for that previous collection through the application port, then verifies the alias target before reporting success. A rollback whose own verification fails raises `IndexRepairError` and marks the operation `needs_repair`; it is never reported as succeeded. If there is no previous target, rollback removes the alias and leaves the failed shadow collection available for diagnosis and explicit lifecycle cleanup.
+
+## Reconciliation and repair
+
+Run reconciliation against the same authoritative source when monitoring detects divergence. The process compares point IDs and authoritative fingerprints, repairs missing and changed points with bounded upserts, deletes only explicit orphan IDs, and verifies convergence. Investigate repeated divergence before retrying; do not repair by broad collection replacement or unscoped filters.
+
+Listing points during reconciliation never aborts on a single corrupt or legacy point: any point that fails identity, wire-integrity or shape checks is reported as a diagnostic (`MalformedIndexPoint`) instead of raising.
+
+- A malformed point whose id matches a currently expected authoritative chunk is **repairable**: it is deterministically re-upserted from the same authoritative source that repairs missing/changed points, using bounded batches.
+- A malformed point whose id matches nothing expected (including one whose id could not even be parsed as the deterministic `UUID` identity, e.g. a legacy integer id) is **unrepairable**: it is quarantined by deleting it via the exact id Qdrant stored (`delete_raw_points`), never by a broad filter.
+- If any malformed point still remains after a repair pass, reconciliation raises `IndexRepairError` and marks the operation `needs_repair` rather than reporting success.
+- Repeating reconciliation after a repair is idempotent: already-repaired points are simply valid, and already-quarantined ids are simply absent, on the next pass.
+
+## Evidence and operational checks
+
+Record the profile, source snapshot/version, counts, full and sample digests, smoke result, alias transition, rollback/reconciliation result, command exit codes and remaining limitations under `artifacts/evidence/<task-id>/`. Redact credentials, tokens and document content that is not needed to prove the acceptance criteria.
+
+For a milestone gate, run the canonical commands from `docs/10_TESTING/ACCEPTANCE_GATES.md` and confirm repository hygiene, dependency readiness and reproducibility from a clean checkout.

+# Restore Runbook
+
+Executable via `RestoreGateService`/`scripts/restore_test.py` as of M6-05
+(steps 1-8; step 9's scheduled trigger and step 10's operational traffic
+cutover remain manual/operational). See `artifacts/evidence/M6-05/` for a
+known, confirmed external blocker on this development host: Qdrant's own
+snapshot-recovery mechanism currently fails here for reasons unrelated to
+this code (root-caused in detail there) -- the code is complete and
+unit-tested, and expected to pass real-infra validation unchanged once
+that environment issue is resolved.
+
+1. Select a completed verified backup and validate checksums.
+2. Create an empty isolated restore environment with matching supported software.
+3. Restore configuration references/secrets separately.
+4. Restore PostgreSQL and apply only documented compatible migrations.
+5. Restore immutable blobs and parsed artifacts; verify sampled hashes.
+6. Restore Qdrant snapshots and collection aliases.
+7. Run reconciliation for missing/orphan points and artifacts.
+8. Run database integrity, counts, citations, golden retrieval and security denial tests.
+9. Record evidence and only then allow traffic.
+10. Keep the failed/current environment intact until restore acceptance.
+
+A production incident restore follows the same proof, with an explicit incident commander and rollback decision.

+# ragcore-sdk
+
+Typed Python client for RAGCore's `/v1/search`, `/v1/context`, and
+`/v1/answers` endpoints.
+
+```python
+from ragcore_sdk import RAGCoreClient
+
+with RAGCoreClient(base_url="https://ragcore.example.internal", token="...") as client:
+    response = client.search(query="What is the refund policy?")
+    for result in response.results:
+        print(result.rank, result.citation.source_uri)
+```
+
+Streaming answers:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from ragcore_sdk import AsyncRAGCoreClient
+
+async def main() -> None:
+    async with AsyncRAGCoreClient(base_url="https://ragcore.example.internal", token="...") as client:
+        async for event in client.answer_stream(query="What is the refund policy?"):
+            print(event.type, event.data)
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+## Scope
+
+This SDK covers exactly the endpoints RAGCore actually implements:
+`search`, `context`, and `answers` (sync and SSE-streaming). It does not
+expose `get_citation`/`get_job` methods — those paths exist only in the
+aspirational OpenAPI contract, not as real routes in this codebase, so
+the SDK does not fabricate a client surface for them.
+
+## Errors
+
+Every non-2xx response RAGCore returns is an RFC7807 Problem Details body.
+The SDK raises `RAGCoreAPIError` (carrying the parsed `ProblemDetails`) for
+those, and `RAGCoreConnectionError` for network-level failures that
+persist after retries are exhausted. Retries only ever apply to this
+SDK's own read-only, side-effect-free requests (search/context/answers are
+GET-equivalent queries) on connection failures and `503` responses --
+never on `4xx` client errors.
+
+The bearer token is never logged or included in exception messages.

+
+Retries only ever apply to the non-streaming request path, and only on
+connection failures or a `503` response -- these three endpoints are
+read-only queries with no side effects, so replaying the whole request is
+safe. A `4xx` response is never retried: retrying a request the server has
+already rejected as invalid or unauthorized cannot succeed. A started SSE
+stream (`answer_stream`) is never retried by this SDK -- once bytes have
+been read from a partially-consumed stream, silently restarting it could
+double-attribute events to the caller, so a failed stream surfaces
+immediately instead.

+/**
+ * A single client for RAGCore's real, implemented `/v1/search`,
+ * `/v1/context`, and `/v1/answers` routes. Uses global `fetch`, so it works
+ * unmodified in a browser or in Node (18+) -- no Node-only APIs.
+ *
+ * Unlike the Python SDK there's no separate sync/async pair: `fetch` is
+ * inherently async in both browser and Node, so one class covers both.
+ *
+ * Retries only ever apply to the non-streaming request path, and only on a
+ * network failure or a `503` response -- these three endpoints are
+ * read-only queries with no side effects, so replaying the whole request
+ * is safe. A `4xx` response is never retried. A started SSE stream
+ * (`answerStream`) is never retried by this SDK: once bytes have been read
+ * from a partially-consumed stream, silently restarting it could
+ * double-attribute events to the caller, so a failed stream surfaces
+ * immediately instead.
+ *
+ * The bearer token is held only in a true private class field (`#token`,
+ * not TypeScript's compile-time-only `private`), so it is never
+ * JSON-serializable, enumerable, or visible via `console.log`/spread on the
+ * client instance, and it is never written to `localStorage`,
+ * `sessionStorage`, or a cookie by this SDK.

+"""Application orchestration for authorized, grounded, citation-validated answers.

+Reuses ``/v1/context``'s own executor Protocol and assembler unchanged --
+this module never re-implements retrieval. It adds exactly two things after
+a ``ContextPackage`` is assembled: (1) a fail-closed rule that a
+``not_answerable`` context (which an empty effective scope always produces,
+via the same assembler /v1/context already uses) never reaches generation
+at all, so a caller can never receive a fabricated answer for a query the
+evidence does not support; and (2) grounded prompt construction (M5-04) and
+claim/citation validation (M5-05) around whatever :class:`AnswerGenerator`
+port is wired in -- the generator itself only has to produce raw provider
+text, all prompt-injection and unsupported-claim defenses are already
+handled by the modules this composes.
+
+Authorization runs eagerly, before either the sync or the streaming path
+does anything else: :meth:`AnswerService.authorize` raises normally (like
+Search/Context), so a caller can be rejected before any SSE response has
+started and committed to a 200 status. Everything after that point can
+still fail (an unavailable context executor, an unavailable or
+policy-forbidden generator, an invalid structured answer); the sync path
+raises a stable :class:`AnswerApplicationError` for those (matching
+Search/Context's own HTTP mapping), while the streaming path turns the same
+failures into a terminal ``error`` event instead, since an SSE response
+cannot change its HTTP status once it has started.

+"""Versioned document read/retire routes.
+
+A sync client (e.g. a wiki connector) uses ``GET /v1/documents`` to decide,
+by comparing ``content_sha256``, whether it needs to upload a new version at
+all -- the primitive that makes repeated syncs idempotent instead of
+duplicating documents. ``POST /v1/documents/{document_id}/retire`` is the
+matching half: after a *complete, successful* scan, the caller marks
+whatever external_ids it no longer saw as retired. Nothing here enforces
+that reconcile rule -- there is no concept of "a scan" on this side of the
+API -- the caller owns deciding when a scan was complete enough to retire on.
+``POST /v1/spaces/{space_id}/index/reconcile`` is the third primitive: after
+uploading new versions and retiring vanished items, the sync client asks the
+space's searchable index to be brought in line with its published, non-retired
+versions (superseded and retired points are dropped). Scoped to one space.

+"""Human-useful citation presentation on top of the immutable ``Citation``.
+
+A ``Citation`` is the machine contract: version-pinned identifiers, a
+checksummed excerpt and the stable internal ``ragcore://source/<uuid>``
+locator. Callers (and the Control Plane) also need to *read* a citation:
+which source, which item in that source, which revision, which page or lines.
+``CitationPresenter`` resolves that once per response through a batched,
+authorization-neutral lookup (documents the caller already retrieved through
+an authorized search -- it never widens what is visible) and renders it into
+``CitationResponse`` including a deterministic ``display`` string such as::
+
+    Network Design.pdf · p. 18 · Firewall Segmentation
+    infrastructure/runbooks/backup.md · commit 3fc821a · lines 118-143
+
+The chain source -> item -> version -> chunk -> location stays recoverable:
+``source_id``/``source_uri`` name the source, ``locator`` the item within it,
+``document_version_id`` + ``revision`` the version, ``id``/``excerpt_sha256``
+the chunk, and section/page/line fields the location.

+"""Per-space index reconciliation.
+
+A sync client that uploads many small documents (one per source record) and
+retires the ones its source no longer has needs one more primitive than
+``POST /v1/uploads`` and ``POST /v1/documents/{id}/retire`` give it: a way to
+make the *searchable index* of its space match the *published, non-retired*
+document versions that Postgres says are current. Publishing a new version
+marks the previous one ``superseded`` and retiring a document sets
+``source_deleted``, but neither touches the vector points that were indexed
+for the old content — until now they stayed searchable until a full collection
+reconcile ran.
+
+``SpaceIndexReconciler`` is deliberately narrow and generic:
+
+* it only ever looks at points whose payload ``space_id`` is the requested
+  space — other spaces/tenants in the same collection are never read or
+  written;
+* "expected" is derived from the document repository alone (every published
+  version of every non-retired document in that space), never from content
+  heuristics;
+* it deletes only points whose ``document_version_id`` is not expected; it
+  never re-embeds or re-inserts anything (a missing point is a job/ingest
+  concern, not a reconciliation concern);
+* it is idempotent and bounded (deletes in batches of the store's own limit).

+"""Fail-closed generation-provider policy router.
+
+Deciding which provider may serve an operation is deliberately *not*
+reimplemented here: ``KnowledgeSpace.allows(operation=..., provider=...)``
+already encodes exactly what each ``DataPolicy`` permits (a
+``retrieval_only``/``no_generation`` space forbids the operation outright
+regardless of provider; ``local_only`` permits only ``ProviderKind.LOCAL``;
+everything else permits any provider). This router reuses that single
+source of truth per contributing space and per :class:`ProviderKind`, then
+intersects the results -- so "a mixed-space query uses the strictest
+policy" and "never choose a broader route than the strictest effective
+policy" both fall out of a plain set intersection, not a second, possibly
+divergent ranking.
+
+Availability is checked only *after* policy eligibility is established, and
+only within the caller-supplied preference order (e.g. local-first): if the
+preferred allowed provider is down, the router tries the next *allowed*
+candidate, never one policy has already excluded. Exhausting every allowed
+candidate raises rather than silently degrading to a wider provider.

+"""Source management use cases: authorize, validate, persist, audit.
+
+The registry is workspace-scoped through the principal (every read filters on
+``principal.workspace_id``; every mutation re-checks the record's workspace),
+mutations require ``SOURCE_MANAGE`` and are recorded as ``SOURCE_CHANGED``
+audit events, and a source can only be created for a knowledge space that
+exists in the caller's workspace. Connector configuration is validated by the
+typed domain configs before it is stored -- so a secret never reaches the
+registry and a relative or traversing path is rejected up front.
+
+A well-formed path is still not an *allowed* one: filesystem-backed sources
+must additionally name a path inside the deployment's configured
+``source_roots``, checked lexically here and against the real filesystem in
+the worker. With no roots configured, no filesystem-backed source can be
+created at all -- there is deliberately no implicit default.
+
+And an allowed path is still not one *this caller* may choose. Configuring a
+Folder source, or a Git source's local checkout root, hands the worker a
+server-side read primitive: whatever is under that path becomes retrievable
+content. ``SOURCE_MANAGE`` is the permission to curate a tenant's content, and
+Editors and Space Managers hold it; choosing which of the host's directories
+the worker reads is a different and larger decision, so it needs
+``FILESYSTEM_SOURCE_MANAGE`` *in addition*, which only a platform
+administrator holds.
+
+Why the platform administrator and not the workspace administrator: the
+allowed roots are one deployment-wide list. Nothing in it is per-tenant, so a
+path inside the allowlist may perfectly well be another workspace's corpus,
+and a workspace administrator granted this could read it by pointing a source
+at it. Per-workspace roots would change that answer; until they exist, the
+role that owns the deployment owns the paths. Authorization and the root
+allowlist are independent gates and both always apply -- neither is a
+substitute for the other, and a path outside the roots is refused for a
+platform administrator exactly as it is for anyone else.

+"""Source synchronisation: discover -> compare -> ingest new/changed ->
+preserve unchanged -> retire disappeared -> persist the outcome.
+
+Deliberately built on what already exists instead of a second pipeline:
+
+* discovery/acquisition go through the ``SourceConnector`` port (the tested
+  folder/Git connectors);
+* acquired bytes go into the same content-addressed blob storage and become
+  the same ``ingest_upload`` job the upload API enqueues -- so connector
+  content is parsed, security-checked, chunked, embedded and published by
+  the one production ingest handler, with the canonical source id and a
+  stable per-item ``external_id``;
+* "unchanged" is decided from the registry's remembered fingerprint, so a
+  re-sync of an unchanged corpus enqueues nothing;
+* "removed" is only concluded from a *complete* discovery (every page seen,
+  no connector error) and retires the document through the existing
+  ``mark_source_deleted`` path;
+* every run is persisted as a ``SourceSyncRunRecord`` with
+  discovered/new/changed/unchanged/removed/failed/pending counts.
+
+A run therefore does not *finish* the work it describes -- it enqueues it.
+Discovery is cheap and synchronous; making the discovered content searchable
+happens in child ``ingest_upload`` jobs that report back long after this run
+returns. Saying "completed" at that point would be a lie the Control Plane and
+every operator would act on, so a run whose children are still in flight ends
+``AWAITING_INGEST`` and the source is settled later by
+``SourceRegistry.converge_sync_state``. Convergence is decided per item by
+comparing what discovery saw (``fingerprint``) with what an ingestion proved
+searchable (``applied_fingerprint``) -- never by discovery alone.

+"""Canonical source identity.
+
+A *source* is the thing content comes from: a sync client's wiki export, a
+mounted folder, a Git repository, or the ad hoc uploads made into one
+knowledge space. Every document, every indexed chunk, every citation and every
+``source_ids`` retrieval filter must refer to a source by **one** identifier:
+the source record's UUID. This module is the only place that identifier is
+derived, so ingest, authoritative rebuild, retrieval filtering and the Control
+Plane can never disagree about which source a piece of content belongs to.
+
+Two cases exist:
+
+* A caller (sync client, connector, registry) names the source explicitly by
+  UUID -- that UUID *is* the canonical source id. It is never re-derived.
+* An ad hoc upload into a knowledge space names no source. Such uploads
+  belong to the space's built-in **Uploads** source, whose id is derived
+  deterministically from the space id, so every ad hoc upload into the same
+  space shares one stable source identity (filterable, listable, citable).
+
+``source_id_from_key`` exists for the one legacy shape that persists: a
+document's ``source_key`` is either the explicit source UUID (as text) or,
+for ad hoc uploads, the content digest that keeps each upload a distinct
+document. The canonical source id is recoverable from that key plus the

+"""Allowed filesystem roots for filesystem-backed sources.
+
+A Folder (or Git checkout) source hands the worker a *server-side* path to
+read. Rejecting traversal, symlinks and relative paths -- which the connectors
+already do -- only proves the path is well formed; it says nothing about the
+path being one an operator ever intended RAGcore to read. Without an explicit
+allowlist, anyone who may create a source can point the worker at ``/etc``,
+``/app`` or a database volume.
+
+This module is the one place that decides whether a requested path is inside
+an operator-configured root. It is deliberately pure (no settings, no I/O in
+the lexical form) so the same rule runs at three places:
+
+* the Control Plane boundary, when a source is created or updated -- lexical
+  only, because the API container legitimately may not have the mount;
+* the worker, when the connector is built from a stored record;
+* the connector itself, immediately before every filesystem read -- fully
+  resolved, so a symlink swapped in after validation cannot widen access.
+
+Containment is decided on *path components*, never on string prefixes: the
+allowed root ``/mnt/rag`` does not contain ``/mnt/rag-secret``. Comparison
+runs through ``os.path.normcase``, which is identity on POSIX and case-folds
+on Windows, so a case-insensitive filesystem cannot be used to slip past a
+root while a case-sensitive one keeps its exact semantics.

+   fence tagged with a nonce generated fresh for this call
+   (``uuid4().hex`` by default). Content that was written into a source
+   *before* this call -- which is the only time an attacker could plant

+"""Deterministic, source-grounded validation of a model's structured answer.
+
+Per ``docs/10_TESTING/EVALUATION_FRAMEWORK.md``, an LLM-as-judge "may assist
+but never replace deterministic/source-grounded checks" -- this module *is*
+that deterministic baseline: no second model call is made or required to
+decide whether an answer is acceptable.
+
+Two independent, fail-closed checks run against the same
+``ContextPackage`` (the M5-04 :class:`GroundedPromptBuilder`'s own source of
+allowed evidence):
+
+- **Citation check**: every citation id the model declares must already be
+  a member of ``context.citations`` -- anything else (an id that never
+  existed, or one that was authorized for a different query) is rejected
+  outright.
+- **Claim check**: every sentence in the answer that carries enough
+  significant content to be a factual claim must share a bounded minimum
+  fraction of its significant words with *some* citation's excerpt text.
+  This is a deliberately conservative, word-overlap heuristic rather than a
+  semantic entailment model -- it cannot prove a claim is *true*, only that
+  it is not obviously fabricated from nothing in the evidence. A sentence
+  that fails this check is never silently dropped or rewritten: the whole
+  answer is rejected.
+
+Malformed output (invalid JSON, a missing/mistyped field, an unknown
+``status`` value, a citation id that is not even a well-formed UUID) and
+both content checks above share one bounded retry loop:
+``validate_with_retries`` calls the caller's ``generate`` callable up to
+``max_retries`` additional times and, if every attempt is invalid, raises a
+single stable :class:`~ragcore.generation.validation.models.ValidationRetriesExhaustedError`
+carrying the last failure's code -- it never falls back to accepting a
+partially-invalid answer.

+"""Fail-closed, read-only connector for an explicitly mounted folder.
+
+Two independent questions are asked about every path, and both must be
+answered before a byte is read:
+
+* *is it well formed* -- absolute, non-traversing, not a symlink, a regular
+  file below its own root. That is what this module has always enforced.
+* *is it a path an operator ever intended RAGcore to read* -- inside one of
+  the deployment's configured ``allowed_roots``. Well-formedness alone says
+  nothing about this: ``/etc`` and a database volume are both perfectly well
+  formed. ``allowed_roots`` is a required argument precisely so that no call
+  site can acquire the first guarantee while quietly skipping the second.
+
+The allowlist is re-checked on every read (``resolve_within_allowed_roots``,
+both sides fully resolved) rather than once at construction, so a directory
+swapped for a symlink after validation cannot widen access.

+    into ``needs_repair`` so a crashed operation stays detectable instead of

+    A partial unique index on ``alias_name WHERE status = 'in_progress'`` makes the
+    insert fail with a database-level conflict whenever another operation still
+    holds the alias, which this method reports as ``None`` rather than raising, so

+"""The ``ingest_upload`` job handler: turn an accepted upload into a
+searchable, published document.
+
+This is the canonical indexing pipeline for normal ingestion:
+
+    blob -> content security gate -> parser (text/code/Docling)
+         -> structure-aware chunker -> dense embedding -> sparse lexical
+         encoding -> Qdrant upsert -> publish
+
+Every point it writes is built by the one canonical ``IndexableChunk`` ->
+``build_hybrid_point`` mapping (``infrastructure/indexes/points.py``), the
+same construction the authoritative rebuild source uses -- so hybrid
+retrieval and provenance are identical for incrementally ingested and
+rebuilt content.
+
+Source identity: every document carries its canonical ``source_id`` (the
+caller's source UUID, or the space's built-in Uploads source when none was
+given) and that exact UUID is what every Qdrant point stores, what
+``source_ids`` filters match and what citations refer to. The registry is
+told about the source on first use, so a source exists as a record before
+any of its documents do.
+
+Index/alias lifecycle: a normal ingest never flips an existing active alias.
+It targets the collection the active alias already points at; only on a
+genuinely fresh deployment (no alias at all yet) does it bootstrap the
+collection and alias once. When the alias points at a different collection
+than the active embedding profile implies (a profile migration is underway
+or this job raced one), the job retries later instead of writing into -- or
+activating -- the wrong collection.
+
+Publication ordering: the version is published in PostgreSQL only *after*
+the Qdrant upsert succeeded, so a "published" document is by construction a
+searchable one. A crash between upsert and publish is healed by the retry
+(the upsert is idempotent, ``publish_validated`` is the idempotent stop).
+
+Terminal failures: when an attempt fails for good (a terminal error, or the
+last allowed attempt of a retryable one) the document/version is left in a
+real FAILED state carrying a content-free failure code, its retryability and
+the job id -- never in a permanent "processing" limbo. Non-final retryable
+failures persist nothing, because the next attempt will try again.
+
+Idempotency note: document/version IDs are derived deterministically from
+the job's own ID (stable across retries of the *same* job). ``create_document``
+and ``create_version`` are skipped when a version with that ID already exists
+(a prior attempt that got past those calls but failed later) rather than
+re-invoked, since neither is itself idempotent. Parsing/chunking/embedding is
+still redone on every attempt before that check -- wasted work but not a
+correctness bug.

+"""Bounded async Ollama-compatible generation adapter with streaming and a breaker.
+
+Mirrors ``OllamaEmbeddingAdapter``/``OllamaRerankAdapter``'s local-only base-URL
+validation, bounded retries and sanitized provider errors exactly. Two
+differences generation itself demands: (1) a streaming response must assemble
+into the *same* ``GenerationResult`` shape a non-streaming call returns --
+``generate()`` is implemented in terms of ``generate_stream()`` so that is true
+by construction, not just convention; (2) once any bytes of a stream have been
+received, a later failure is never silently retried (the caller may already
+have shown partial output to a user) -- only the connection/first-byte phase
+retries, matching how a partial answer must never quietly restart from empty.
+
+Prompts and generated text are never written to any log call in this module --
+only stable, content-free error codes and byte/duration counts are, matching
+the "prompts/responses not logged by default" requirement directly rather
+than relying solely on ``platform.logging``'s keyword-based redaction.

+"""Reusable provider resilience: an observable circuit breaker plus a bounded
+concurrency/queue guard.
+
+This is a standalone toolkit, not a refactor of the circuit breaker already
+embedded in ``OllamaGenerationAdapter``/``OllamaEmbeddingAdapter``/
+``OllamaRerankAdapter`` -- those adapters and their evidence stay unchanged;
+future or additional provider adapters can compose :class:`ProviderResilienceGuard`
+around a call instead of re-deriving the same state machine.
+
+Two independent failure modes are guarded against:
+
+- **Overload**: only ``max_concurrent`` calls may be in flight at once, and
+  at most ``max_queued`` more may be waiting for a slot; anything beyond
+  that is rejected immediately with :class:`ProviderOverloadedError` rather
+  than queued without bound.
+- **Sustained failure**: :class:`CircuitBreaker` opens after
+  ``failure_threshold`` consecutive failures and rejects every call with
+  :class:`CircuitOpenError` for ``cooldown_seconds`` without even
+  attempting one, then allows exactly one half-open trial; that trial's
+  outcome decides whether it closes again or reopens for another cooldown.
+
+Every state transition is logged as a stable, structured event -- never a
+continuous poll -- so "provider circuit open" (the alert
+``docs/09_OPERATIONS/OBSERVABILITY.md`` documents) is a real, observable
+signal rather than only an internal in-memory flag. See
+``ops/alerts/provider_circuit_open.yaml``, whose ``event`` field is proven
+to match the literal string this module logs by
+``tests/integration/resilience/test_alert_matches_circuit_event.py``.

+"""Fail-closed MIME and archive security classification.

+``ContentSecurityGateService`` is the parser boundary of normal ingestion:
+the worker runs every acquired blob through it before any parser sees the
+bytes. It does not duplicate the upload API's request-time policy (filename,
+extension, declared MIME, size, magic prefix); it adds what only the full
+content can tell -- MIME sniffing against the declared type, malformed or
+NUL-laden "text", and bounded inspection of ZIP/GZIP/TAR containers
+(including the ZIP-based Office formats) against zip-bomb style depth, ratio
+and size attacks -- and it quarantines fail-closed.
+
+``production_content_security_policy()`` derives its allowed media types and
+extension mapping from the *same* upload-type table the upload API enforces,
+so the gate can never silently reject a type the product accepts (or accept
+one it does not).

+OAuth 2.1 resource-server metadata (`issuer_url`, discovery endpoints,
+dynamic client registration) that has no counterpart anywhere in RAGCore,
+which issues its own simple opaque bearer tokens exactly like the REST
+Bearer path already does. Forcing this server's real tokens through
+fictional OAuth metadata would advertise capabilities (a real

+"""Populate ``request.state.principal`` from a verified session cookie.

+it back: every other module's ``get_principal`` dependency only ever saw

+middleware closes that gap for real requests, without changing test
+behavior at all -- every existing test overrides the ``get_principal``
+dependency directly via ``app.dependency_overrides``, which bypasses
+``request.state`` entirely regardless of what this middleware does.
+
+Reuses the exact cookie name and decode path
+``web.auth.dependencies.get_current_session`` already uses and this
+codebase already tests, rather than re-deriving it: an invalid, tampered,
+or expired cookie simply leaves ``request.state.principal`` unset -- the
+same null-on-any-``AuthError`` behavior ``get_current_session`` has -- and
+``get_principal``'s existing fail-closed 401 is what actually enforces

+"""Server-rendered ingestion-jobs screens: real queue state, never fabricated,
+and never state from another tenant.
+
+Jobs are cross-*space* infrastructure but never cross-*workspace*: the queue
+has no per-space scoping, so the screens are limited to the administrative and
+audit roles that already see cross-space operational state elsewhere in the
+Control Plane -- but every one of those roles except Platform Admin is bound
+to a single workspace, and the queue must respect that.
+
+Scope is decided once, in :func:`_scope_of`, and then handed to the repository
+as a query predicate. It is deliberately not a filter applied to rows that
+have already been fetched: a listing that reads every tenant's jobs and hides
+some in the template still put them in this process, in its logs and in its
+timing. The same predicate governs the listing, the status counters, the
+source-name enrichment, the detail page and the retry mutation, so there is
+one answer to "whose jobs are these?" rather than five.
+
+Legacy jobs (``workspace_id IS NULL`` -- enqueued before ownership was a
+column, and not backfillable from trustworthy data) fail closed: they are
+invisible and immutable for every workspace-scoped principal, and only a
+platform administrator can see or retry them. There is deliberately no
+``payload.get("workspace_id") or principal.workspace_id`` fallback anywhere;
+that pattern hands an unowned job to whoever happens to be looking.
+
+The operator's own filters go the same way. Status and operation are compiled
+into the same statement as the scope, and the screen shows one ``LIMIT``/
+``OFFSET`` page of what matched. Filtering a fetched page in Python -- which
+is what this screen used to do on top of a fixed ``LIMIT 100`` -- answers a
+different question than the one asked: a workspace with more than a page of
+traffic got "no jobs match" for a failed job that was simply older than the
+hundredth most recently touched one.
+
+The five counters above the table stay scope-wide summaries, deliberately
+unaffected by the filter: they are the queue's state, and the table below is
+the current query into it. The screen says which is which.
+
+Payloads are never rendered wholesale -- only the operational fields
+(operation, what it concerns, status, attempts, timing, sanitized error code
+and the content-free failure code the worker recorded).
+
+Retry is a real backend capability (``PostgresJobRepository.requeue``) and is
+offered only for jobs that are terminal *and* whose last failure was
+retryable; it is audited as an ``ADMIN_ACTION``, and a refused cross-tenant
+attempt is audited as a ``SECURITY_FAILURE``.

+"""Fixture FastAPI apps for the SDK contract tests.
+
+Mirrors the same fixture-construction pattern used by the existing
+`tests/contract/api/{search,context,answers}` contract tests (real
+`RetrievalAuthorizationService`, a fixture executor/generator standing in
+only for the retrieval backend/model provider) -- these tests exist to
+prove the SDK's HTTP layer (request shape, response typing, SSE parsing,
+Problem Details mapping, retries), not to re-prove authorization/retrieval
+business logic that is already covered there.

+"""Proves a bearer-authenticated service account can actually resolve real
+effective spaces end to end against real Postgres.
+
+Before this fix, `ControlPlaneAuthorizationInputsProvider.load()` always
+returned `application=None` and `grants=()` for every principal, and
+`Principal` had no way to even carry which `Application` a service
+account's bearer credential belongs to. `EffectiveSpaceResolver` only
+ever honors workspace-level `Grant`s alongside a real `Application`, so
+every bearer-token search/context/answers call was silently resolving to
+zero effective spaces, regardless of what it requested -- a real,
+previously-undetected bug found while building M7-03 (MCP), which relies
+entirely on this same bearer-token path actually working.

+"""Integration gate: the real ``IngestUploadHandler`` against a real Qdrant
+server, searched through the real ``RetrievalPipeline``/``ProductionSearchExecutor``.
+
+(This is the *handler-level* integration gate. The system-level gate that
+goes through HTTP upload -> PostgreSQL job -> worker lease -> this handler ->
+HTTP search lives in ``tests/system/``.)
+
+    upload payload -> security gate -> parser -> chunker -> dense embedding
+                   -> sparse encoding -> Qdrant upsert -> /v1/search execution path
+
+Proves, against the live index, that:
+
+1. the document is processed and indexed;
+2. every stored point carries a dense vector;
+3. every stored point carries a sparse vector;
+4. the document is retrievable via dense search (exact-vector query);
+5. the document is retrievable via sparse search (identifier-token query);
+6. RRF fuses both backends (both ranks present, no degradation);
+7. language / document_id filters constrain the results;
+8. **source identity**: the source UUID the *caller* supplied at upload time
+   -- never a value read back from the index -- is what the ``source_ids``
+   filter matches and what every candidate's provenance reports: source A's
+   two documents come back for ``source_ids=[A]``, source B's one document
+   for ``[B]``, neither leaks into the other, and an ad hoc upload without a
+   source id belongs to the space's built-in Uploads source.
+
+Embeddings use a deterministic hash-based mock transport: the point of this
+gate is the indexing/search contract, not embedding quality, and determinism
+is what makes the dense exact-match assertion (cosine similarity 1.0 with an
+identical query vector) a real proof that dense retrieval works end to end.

+all, only `citations.workspace_id`/`citations.space_id`.
+
+This test locks that boundary in explicitly for M6-07 (rather than leaving
+it merely implied by what other tests happen not to check), and proves the
+control that *does* apply -- deactivating the knowledge space the citation
+belongs to -- correctly revokes access, since `effective_space_ids` is
+recomputed fresh on every request from the space's current active state.

+"""SSRF/unsafe-source-URL coverage for the Git connector (M6-07).
+
+GitConnector never performs its own network fetch -- `repository` is
+provenance metadata the operator supplies (the actual `git clone`/`fetch`
+happens outside RAGCore, before a pinned local checkout is handed to this
+connector), and every `_run_git` call only ever runs local, read-only git
+plumbing against `config.checkout_root`. This test proves that directly:
+even an attacker-shaped `repository` value (a cloud metadata endpoint, a
+`file://` URL, a loopback address) is never passed to `subprocess.run`, is
+never used as a network target, and has no effect on connector behavior.

+"""A workspace-scoped operator can neither observe nor mutate another
+workspace's jobs -- and a job with no owner belongs to nobody.
+
+These tests drive the real Control Plane routes against a job store that
+records every query it is asked to run, so they check two different things at
+once:
+
+* what the *screen* shows (no foreign subject, source name or failure code);
+* what the *repository* was asked for (an ownership predicate, not a global
+  query whose rows were filtered afterwards).
+
+The second matters as much as the first. A listing that reads every tenant's
+jobs and hides some in the template has still pulled them into this process;
+the next template change, log line or timing measurement leaks them. So the
+fake asserts on the scope it received, and a global read by a workspace-scoped
+principal fails the test even when nothing foreign is rendered.

+"""Who may point the worker at the server's own filesystem.
+
+The allowlist (``RAGCORE_SOURCE_ROOTS``, tested next door) answers *which*
+paths may ever be read. This module answers the separate question of *who* may
+choose among them. Both gates are required and neither substitutes for the
+other:
+
+* a principal without ``FILESYSTEM_SOURCE_MANAGE`` is refused even for a path
+  squarely inside an allowed root;
+* a principal *with* it is refused for a path outside every root.
+
+The chosen policy is the smallest one that closes the multi-workspace hole:
+the allowed roots are a single deployment-wide list, so a path inside them may
+belong to another tenant's corpus. Until roots are per-workspace, choosing one
+is a deployment decision, and only ``PLATFORM_ADMIN`` holds the permission.
+Ordinary content curation (``SOURCE_MANAGE``, held by Editors and Space
+Managers) is untouched -- only the filesystem-backed kinds are narrowed.

+"""M6-07: unhandled exceptions must never leak secrets or tracebacks to the client.
+
+Structured logging already redacts secrets in log output (see
+tests/unit/test_config.py, tests/integration/audit/test_audit_events.py).
+This proves the client-facing HTTP response side of the same guarantee: no
+exception_handler in main.py registers a generic Exception -> traceback
+responder, so an unhandled error should fall through to Starlette's default
+production-safe (non-debug) handler. Verified directly rather than assumed.

+"""System gate: the operations console against real PostgreSQL, two tenants.
+
+Everything below the HTTP client is the deployed thing: the real FastAPI
+application (`create_app`, its middleware stack and routes), the real
+`PostgresJobRepository`, the real `PostgresSourceRegistry` for job source-name
+enrichment, and a real PostgreSQL database. The one substitution is
+authentication -- `get_principal` is overridden so the test can be two
+different operators without standing up OIDC -- which is exactly the boundary
+under test: given a correctly authenticated principal, what may they see and
+change?
+
+The composed proof, in one run:
+
+* workspace A's admin lists jobs and sees only A's, with A's counters;
+* A's admin opening B's job is denied, and the response contains none of B's
+  metadata (filename, source id, source name, failure code);
+* A's admin retrying B's job is denied, and B's row is afterwards unchanged in
+  the database -- status, attempt count, availability and lease all identical;
+* B's own admin can still retry B's job, so the refusal above was scoping and
+  not a broken feature;
+* a legacy job with no owner is invisible and immutable for both of them;
+* the platform administrator sees all three and may act on them.

+"""System gate: HTTP upload -> PostgreSQL job -> worker lease -> production
+ingest handler -> security gate -> parser -> chunker -> dense + sparse ->
+Qdrant -> published -> HTTP search, with the caller's source identity intact.
+
+Everything below the HTTP client is real: the real FastAPI application
+(``create_app``, with its middleware stack, bearer authentication, rate
+limiting and routes), real PostgreSQL (control plane, credentials, jobs,
+content, source registry, audit), the real ``PostgresJobRepository`` lease
+protocol driven by the real ``JobWorker``, the real
+``build_ingest_upload_handler`` production wiring, and a real Qdrant server.
+HTTP is exercised end to end through the ASGI interface of the real app (an
+in-process transport, not a TCP socket -- the only ingredient that is not the
+deployed process boundary itself). The one deliberate substitution is the
+embedding *model*: a deterministic hash-based HTTP transport stands in for
+Ollama, for both the worker's document embedding and the app's query
+embedding, because the gate proves orchestration and correctness, not
+embedding quality.
+
+Proven, in order:
+
+* the upload is accepted over HTTP with a bearer token (202 + job url);
+* the job really exists in PostgreSQL and is READY;
+* the worker leases and executes it; the job ends SUCCEEDED with the attempt
+  recorded against this worker;
+* the document is PUBLISHED (searchable) with its canonical source id and
+  the job id on its version;
+* every stored Qdrant point has a dense *and* a sparse vector and carries the
+  caller's source id;
+* ``POST /v1/search`` over HTTP finds the document; provenance/citation name
+  the same source; ``source_ids=[A]`` returns it and a foreign source does not;
+* ``GET /v1/jobs/{id}`` reports ``succeeded``;
+* failure path: content the security gate quarantines ends with the job
+  terminal AND the document version FAILED with a content-free failure code
+  -- never "processing" forever.

+"""A worker process runs more than one job at a time, or it does not scale.
+
+``claim_next`` has always used ``FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED``, so several claim
+loops can safely draw from the same queue -- but nothing ever ran more than
+one. A folder source with a few thousand files was therefore ingested strictly
+one document after another.
+
+The test below cannot pass on a serial pool: each handler waits until every
+other one has started before it returns, so if the loops take turns the whole
+thing deadlocks instead of finishing.

+"""Fast unit coverage for ProfileActivationService using in-memory index stores.
+
+Reuses the real ``IndexBuildService`` (never reimplemented), backed by
+in-memory fakes for ``DerivedIndexStore``/``IndexOperationStore`` instead of
+real Qdrant/Postgres -- this proves ProfileActivationService's own gating,
+decision-persistence and rollback-reconstruction logic quickly and
+deterministically. Slower, real-infrastructure end-to-end coverage lives in
+``tests/integration/profiles``.
