docs: ctx is the agent's memory, not a tool beside it - #55
I have used ctx with Claude Code since May 2026 (my first reports were #3 and #4; my first fix was #6, for the hooks ctx init wrote, which Claude Code silently ignored). Over those months one onboarding failure kept coming back: an agent with ctx installed still behaved as if it had no memory. Sessions wrote handovers for their successor and read them back the next morning; orientation grew into a recent dump plus a dozen whole-block reads before the first answer; blocks the classifier had typed were re-typed by hand; and in one run over a thousand workflow agents worked without retrieving anything or persisting what they found, so the session re-told their findings in its own words.
None of that needed a feature. What changed the behaviour was saying plainly what ctx is for an agent: its memory, not a tool beside its work. The README section "How LLMs use ctx" was the place where agents read it the other way, so that is where this PR states it. Every failure mode in the new page is one I ran into in practice.
What
The README section "How LLMs use ctx" can be read as "how the session uses a tool". In practice agents then treat ctx as something beside their work: they write handovers for the next session, read many blocks back with get/recent instead of asking with query, re-type or argue with the store's classification, and start subagents that neither retrieve nor persist. This PR states the intended model at the source: ctx is the agent's persistent memory, for the session and for every subagent alike.
README.md, "How LLMs use ctx" (heading and anchor kept): opens with ctx as the agent's memory and the rule retrieve before, persist after for every agent; the table column is Call; a short paragraph says the brief/persist hooks exist for agents without a conversation of their own, and what persist --hook actually does with a marker; links the new page, and labels using ctx effectively as the separate drift discipline. One row in the Documentation table.
docs/ctx-as-agent-memory.md (new): how an agent should regard the store (encoding as it happens, consolidation by Guard and Dream Mode, recall by query, the store's own models) and the failure modes when it does not: handovers and close-out notes; get/recent/backtracking instead of query; overriding or arguing with the store's models; knowledge kept in instruction or memory files instead of ctx; CLI or bulk reads in place of MCP query; subagents without memory; re-persisting a subagent's finding in the session's words; curating a digest instead of storing what happened. Plus the loop for a session and for a subagent.
docs/using-ctx-effectively.md: the opening now says this page is the drift discipline for that memory and links the new page; the ranking sentence in "Load conventions" no longer contradicts itself (passive ranking of training weights > file instructions > user feedback in context, versus a deliberately loaded anchor in the current context).
Checked against the code
Every mechanism statement was checked against the tree at 9f98ff65, among them:
brief --hook / persist --hook: go/internal/cli/brief.go, go/internal/cli/persist.go. Line-anchored [PERSIST:category:title] markers, empty content skipped, a failed store dropped silently, upsert on category and title in the key's scope (go/internal/store/blocks.go).
An explicit type stamps type_source='manual' and the classifier leaves the block for good: blocks.go, handler/context_store.go, docs/architecture.md.
Explicit sensitivity on a re-save applies only at or above the current level: blocks.go.
Web chat tools: go/internal/chat/tools.go.
Claims I could not locate in code were dropped (e.g. that the store assigns tags).

Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Clarified how sessions, subagents, and workflow agents retrieve and save persistent ctx memory, including guidance for retrieval, classification, and staged writes.
Added details on agent-briefing content injected by Claude Code hooks and how rejected or undelivered writes are handled.
Documented common pitfalls, including bulk reads, handovers, changing storage classifications, and re-saving subagent findings.
Updated guidance on conventions shared across sessions and linked the new agent-memory guide from related documentation.
The README section "How LLMs use ctx" could be read as describing a tool
the session picks up, with the brief and persist hooks as the session's
tools. It now opens with ctx as the agent's persistent memory, states
that "LLM" means the session and each subagent or workflow agent alike
(retrieve before, persist after), and says what the hooks are for:
agents without a conversation of their own. ctx persist --hook is
described as the code runs it: each marker with non-empty content goes
to store, an upsert on category and title, and a failed write is
dropped silently. The table column Tool becomes Call, and the section
links the new page and relabels using-ctx-effectively as the separate
drift discipline. The Documentation table gains a row for the new page.
docs/ctx-as-agent-memory.md (new) reads the store as a memory (encoding,
background consolidation, recall by cue, classification, the web chat),
gives the loop for a session and for a subagent, and lists the failure
modes of treating the store as a tool: handovers, get/recent and
backtracking instead of query, overriding the store's models (an
explicit type sets type_source='manual' for good; an explicit
sensitivity is upgrade-only on a re-save), knowledge in instruction or
runtime memory files, git history as orientation, the CLI or bulk reads
in place of MCP query, subagents without hooks, a session re-persisting
its subagents' findings, and a curated digest instead of what happened.
docs/using-ctx-effectively.md links the new page from its opening, and
the "Load conventions" bullet now separates the passive ranking
(training weights > file instructions > user feedback in context) from
the deliberate in-context anchor that counters it.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

observed — README.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
Before / after behavior
observed — Modified behavior in docs/using-ctx-effectively.md: The introduction now links to the page explaining ctx as agent memory and frames the page as guidance for using that memory without drift, replacing the statement that installing ctx gives an agent memory.
observed — Modified behavior in docs/using-ctx-effectively.md: The conventions bullet removes the explicit ranking of training weights, file instructions, and in-context anchors. It now states that conventions loaded into the current context are followed more reliably than instructions only stored in a file.
observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Reframes ctx as the agent’s persistent memory for interactive sessions and spawned agents, states that each retrieves before work and persists findings after, and changes the table’s tool column to “Call.”
observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Adds documentation of the Claude Code SubagentStart and SubagentStop hooks: briefing retrieval falls back to readable agent-briefing blocks when project-tagged lookup returns nothing or fails; persistence upserts non-empty marked content by category and title, while undelivered or rejected writes are silently dropped and not counted as saved. Adds links to hook setup and guidance on treating ctx as agent memory.

…drop the fixed ranking
Answers the CodeRabbit review on GottZ#55:
- ctx-as-agent-memory.md: store upserts on category, title and scope;
a session's re-save under its own title is a second block; the brief
hook falls back to untagged agent-briefing blocks; a subagent without
memory is one that neither retrieves nor persists by any path.
- README.md: the brief hook's untagged fallback.
- using-ctx-effectively.md: drop the fixed instruction ranking; keep
that conventions loaded into the current context are followed more
reliably than instructions that only sit in a file.

…wners, PR title gate, GOVERNANCE.md (#54)
## What this changes
From now on `root` moves only by merging a pull request — for every
account, the maintainer's included. This PR carries the repository side
of that switch; the GitHub side (rulesets, merge settings) is already
live:
- **root ruleset** (updated): pull request required; one approving
review from a code owner on the current head (new pushes dismiss
approvals); all review threads resolved; required checks = the `ci.yml`
jobs that run on every PR (Lint, Unit Tests ×2, Build, Web,
Cross-compile ×2, Integration Tests ×6) plus the new `PR title` check;
no force-push, no deletion. Bypass: repository admins, *pull requests
only* — a direct push stays blocked for everyone.
- **tag ruleset** (new): `v*` tags are created, moved or deleted by
repository admins only.
- **merge settings**: merge commit (default) or squash; rebase merging
off (it rewrites contributor commits and drops their signatures); PR
title → merge commit subject, PR body → merge commit body; source branch
deleted on merge; auto-merge and "update branch" enabled.
In the repository:
- `.github/workflows/pr-title.yml` — the PR title follows `type(scope):
summary`, since it becomes the merge commit subject. One grep, no
third-party action, title passed via environment.
- `.github/CODEOWNERS` (`* @GottZ`) and
`.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`.
- `.hooks/pre-push` — gate 1 inverted: a feature branch pushes freely, a
direct push of `root` to GottZ/ctx is refused locally with the pointer
to the PR flow; the deadcode gates run on tag pushes only (a tag is cut
on an already-judged merge commit).
- `GOVERNANCE.md` (new) — roles, what the rulesets enforce, merge
methods, the maintainer bypass as a documented stopgap while there is no
second regular reviewer, releases after merge, how write access is
granted.
- `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `README.md`, `docs/development.md`, `CLAUDE.md`
aligned.
## Behaviour changes (intended)
- `git push origin root` is refused (hook and ruleset). Releases: merge
first, then tag the merge commit on `root` and push the tag alone.
- Collaborators with *write* can push branches here and approve; they
cannot merge without the required review, tag, or change settings.
- The deadcode pre-push gate no longer runs on every push — CI runs it
on the PR.
## Verification
- Hook exercised with simulated push refs (sh, canonical and fork
remotes): root→canonical refused (rc 1), feature branch→canonical
passes, root→fork passes, lightweight tag refused, tag deletion passes
without the deadcode run.
- `pr-title.yml`: YAML parsed; regex tested against the last eight real
PR titles (all pass) and three malformed ones (all fail).
- Rulesets and repository settings read back from the API after the
writes.
- Live ruleset: `git push --no-verify origin HEAD:root` from this branch
was rejected server-side (`GH013: Repository rule violations found for
refs/heads/root` — merge must come from a pull request, 13 of 14
required checks not yet succeeded); `origin/root` unchanged at 9f98ff6.
- This PR is the first one under the new rules: its own `PR title` check
and the required checks gate the merge.
## Transition for pull requests already open
`PR title` is already a required check of the live ruleset, but the
workflow lands on `root` only with this PR, and it triggers on
`opened/edited/synchronize/reopened`. A pull request opened before the
merge (today: #55) gets the check only after a push, a title edit,
"Update branch" or a reopen — I will edit the titles of the open pull
requests right after the merge so they pick it up.
## Not verified
- The `require_code_owner_review` path with CODEOWNERS present —
CODEOWNERS lands with this PR, so it applies from the next PR on.
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
Close/reopen only to start the new required PR title check on this pull request (the workflow landed on root with #54 after this PR was opened; a title edit did not trigger it). Nothing else changes.

Review — docs: ctx is the agent's memory, not a tool beside it (#55)
Reviewed:root @ 6b62b18a → docs/ctx-is-agent-memory @ d253e97d (3 commits incl. the update-branch merge, 3 files, +80/−5) Executed: nothing — documentation only; every mechanism statement was read against the Go tree at the merge base (unchanged since the 9f98ff65 the body names). Read:cli/brief.go, cli/persist.go (+ parseMarkers), cli/client.go (Post), chat/tools.go, chat/engine.go (tool offering), store/blocks.go (upsert identity, sensitivity/type stamping), store/classify.go, migrations 137/140 (trigram arm), config.go:421 and docker-compose.yml:105 (graph expansion), every ClassifyBlockAfterUpsert caller, all six doc anchors. Body vs head: matches (the body describes 42e7a2c; d253e97 only merges root).
1. What the change does
States, at the place where agents read it, that ctx is the agent's memory rather than a tool beside its work, and adds a page on the loop (session and subagent) and on the failure modes of treating the store as a tool. The README gains the hook paragraph and a Documentation row; using-ctx-effectively.md points at the new page and drops the fixed instruction ranking. The diff does what the body says; the differences are in a few mechanism statements, below.
2. Overlap and duplicates
Search scope: gh search prs on agent memory, using-ctx-effectively, How LLMs use ctx, ctx-as-agent-memory (open and closed); paths of this PR against the one other open PR.
Entry point:ctx brief --hook on SubagentStart in a project without its own agent-briefing blocks.
Evidence:runBrief → searchBriefBlocks(c, limit, "") → POST /api/search {"category":"agent-briefing","limit":…} with no tags key (brief.go:96–125); the search applies category, scope and grants, never "no tags". The comment and the command's Long text say "untagged", the code does not filter. Same point as CodeRabbit's open thread; the code side is now #58.
Fix: say what the code does (suggestions inline); decide the code question in #58.
Low — "a failed write is dropped silently" is true for transport errors only; a rejected write is counted as saved [read]
Entry point:ctx persist --hook on SubagentStop when the store answers non-2xx or success:false (key without write on the scope, quota, server error).
Evidence:persist.go:108–110 counts err == nil; client.go:74–100Post returns the body for any status and never parses the envelope; Do in the same file documents the opposite rule. So the hook prints ctx persist: N block(s) saved for rejected writes. CLI bug filed as #59; the doc sentence should not promise more than the code keeps.
Fix: suggestions inline.
Note — three precision points in "The store, read as a memory" [read]
Recall: the trigram arm matches titles (137_rrf_arms.sql:304–315, similarity(cb.title, p_query)), and link expansion runs only when graph expansion is on — graph.enabled defaults to false in the registry (config.go:421) and the compose stack turns it on (docker-compose.yml:105).
Classification: the callers of ClassifyBlockAfterUpsert are the store and update handlers (REST, MCP, staged confirm) and the blocks that digest, Dream synthesis and root map create; "again in its background pipelines" reads as re-classification of existing blocks, which those pipelines do not do.
Chat: the read-only executor has the four tools named; when writes are armed the chat also offers ctx_store and ctx_update as staged writes behind a confirmation card (engine.go:727–731, tools.go:225–227). The point of the sentence holds; half a sentence makes it complete.
Fix: suggestions inline.
4. Declared behaviour changes (not defects)
None in code. The page prescribes behaviour for agents (no handovers, query over get/recent, no explicit types) — guidance, not a contract change.
5. Checked and found in order
[PERSIST:category:title] marker regex, empty content skipped, project tag and session_id/agent_type/agent_id/hostname metadata (persist.go:14, 99–105, 189–191).
Upsert identity (category, title, scope) (blocks.go:310–337; partial unique index on NOT is_archived).
Explicit type → type_source='manual', auto-classifier updates only type_source='auto' rows (classify.go:35–37, 87; blocks.go:526–527).
Explicit sensitivity on re-save applies at or above the current level (>= for manual, strict > for detector/derived; blocks.go:596–606).
German + English full text, RRF, time weighting, LLM synthesis as described (blocks.go:1407, 1509; ctx_rrf).
All six anchors resolve to headings on the target pages.
Guard auto-archive at the dup threshold and Dream supersedes/promotion as stated in architecture.md:23, 83.
using-ctx-effectively.md: the ranking sentence is gone; the remaining bullets are unchanged.
6. Existing review coverage
CodeRabbit round 1 (16:29Z, 4 minor): all addressed in 42e7a2c, threads resolved.
CodeRabbit round 2 (18:53Z, README:107, open): both points hold — they are §3 findings 1 and 2 here; code side in #58 / #59.
Copilot, human reviews: none.
New in this review: §3 note (trigram on titles, expansion default, classifier callers, staged chat writes).
7. Verdict
Approve once the three wording fixes are in (suggestions attached, one click each) and CI on d253e97d is green. Nothing in the page is wrong in substance; the two Low items promise code behaviour the code does not have, which is exactly what the page argues against.
Fallback wording (README:105, doc:30) — the code question lives in #58.
Failed-write wording (README:105, doc:32) — the CLI fix lives in #59.
The three precision points (doc:13–15).
8. Not verified / questions for the author
GitHub's rendering of the new anchors (as the body says) — not checked here either.
Not run: nothing to run; the Go suites are unaffected by the diff.
…sification and chat
Applies the six suggestions from GottZ's review at d253e97. Three are taken as written. Three carry one change each, checked against 6b62b18:
- brief: both lookups send --limit (default 20, cli/brief.go:77) and come back newest first (store/blocks.go:1392, 1536-1539), so "every agent-briefing block" reads "the most recently updated ... (up to --limit, default 20)".
- recall: gravity runs only when the query parse yields dates (handler/query.go:1056), so "weights by time" reads "weights by time when the cue names one".
- web chat: the only production executor is built WithStage and stageRunner is always set (handler/chat.go:162, 288), so the write tools are not conditional on "where writes are armed".

Qualify the sensitivity rule by write path.
POST /api/store upsert conflicts leave a lower sensitivity and source unchanged. However, manage update can persist a confirmed downgrade, and the credentials detector can force an upgrade to credentials with source pattern. The current sentence applies the upsert rule to every re-save and omits both persistence outcomes.

Round 2 on 6dc5215: all six suggestions applied, your three refinements verified against the tree (limit 20 newest-first on both brief lookups — brief.go:77, blocks.go:1517/1530; gravity only when the parse yields dates — query.go:1056; stage runner always set — chat.go:162,288). CI is green. Two last wording points, both raised by CodeRabbit on this head and both confirmed at the code, as one-click suggestions below; the ingest side is #61. With those in, I approve and merge.
## What this changes
`ctx persist --hook` now counts a block as saved only when the server
accepted it. A new helper, `storeAccepted` in
`go/internal/cli/persist.go`, sends each block through `Client.Do`. It
counts the block only when the status is 2xx and `checkEnvelope(resp,
envelopeRequired)` accepts the body. Every other answer is dropped the
way an unreachable server already was: no error, exit 0, nothing
printed. That covers 403/413/429/500, a 200 with `success:false`, and a
body that is not an envelope. The `ctx persist: N block(s) saved` line
now counts accepted blocks only. The command's Long text and
`docs/cli.md` say so. `Client.Post` is unchanged.
## Why
Fixes#59
`persist.go:109` counted a block whenever `Client.Post` returned without
a Go error. `Post` returns the body for any status and never reads the
envelope, so a rejected write was reported as saved.
The issue offers two routes. I took "route `persist` through `Do`" and
rejected changing `Post`, because most `Post` callers print the body
first and let `checkEnvelope` set the exit code afterwards
(`envelope.go:55`). An erroring `Post` would drop that body.
Two callers read `Post`'s answer without looking at `success`: the
statusline block count (`statusline.go:238`) and the optional dream-mode
read in `dream stats` (`commands.go:806`). A rejected answer leaves them
without a value rather than with a wrong one: the statusline shows the
count only when it is > 0 (`statusline.go:357`), and the dream summary
shows an empty mode and `?`. I left them out of this PR. Say if you want
them in.
#55 says in `README.md:105` and `docs/ctx-as-agent-memory.md:32` that a
rejected write "is still reported/counted as saved until #59 lands".
Whichever PR merges second has to change that sentence to: "A write the
store never receives or rejects is dropped silently and not counted as
saved." In my reply on #55 I wrote that #59 makes rejected writes
errors. For the hook they are not errors: `docs/cli.md` lists `persist`
among the commands that degrade silently, so a rejected write still
exits 0 and only drops out of the count.
## Verification
On 7e839ef (`6b62b18a` + this commit), Go 1.27.3, in `go/`:
- New `go/internal/cli/persist_store_test.go` drives `persist --hook`
through the cobra command against an `httptest` server. It covers
403/413/429 envelopes, a 500 plain-text body, a 500 with `success:true`,
a 200 with `success:false`, a 200 frameless body, a mixed run (1 of 3
accepted, `1 block(s) saved`), an all-accepted control, and an
unreachable server.
- With `persist.go` and `docs/cli.md` taken from `6b62b18a`: `go test
-short -race -count=1 -run TestPersistHook ./internal/cli/` exits 1, and
8 of 9 subtests fail with `stderr = "ctx persist: 3 block(s) saved\n"`.
- With the fix: same command, exit 0.
- `go test -short -race -count=1 -timeout=5m ./...`: exit 0, 65 packages
ok.
- `golangci-lint run --timeout=5m` (v2.15.0): 0 issues.
- `bash deadcode.sh` and `bash deadcode.sh testonly`: ok.
- `go build ./... && go vet ./...` with `CGO_ENABLED=0` for
windows/amd64 and darwin/arm64: exit 0.
- The pre-commit hook ran on the commit: `go vet -tags=integration
./...` and golangci-lint, 0 issues.
Not run: integration tests against PostgreSQL, and a real ctxd answering
403/413/429 (simulated with `httptest` only). No web checks, since no
web files changed.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* The `ctx persist` command now counts a block as saved only when the
server accepts it. Rejected writes and connection failures remain silent
and do not increase the saved-block count.
* **Documentation**
* Updated the command documentation to clarify how rejected writes
affect the exit status and saved-block count.

#62 (the fix for #59) is merged, so the two "until #59 lands" sentences no longer hold. The suggestions below replace them with the wording from the #62 description.
They supersede my earlier suggestion on README.md:105 (#55 (comment)) — please don't apply that one. The README suggestion below is that same line with only the #59 sentence changed, so its #58 wording is carried over as it was. The #58 sentences, and the open #58 suggestion on docs/ctx-as-agent-memory.md:30, stay as they are until #58 is decided.
…top_grace_period (#71)
Wave W06-1 of the OpenAI-compatible API plan (RC-A, telemetry
foundation; design/06 §7 block A). No `/v1` surface, no migration.
## What this changes
The `context_llm_log` write path started one goroutine and one pool
connection per row, logged failures at DEBUG only, and ctxd closed its
pool on shutdown without waiting for pending inserts; the `ctx` compose
service had no `stop_grace_period`, so Docker's 10 s default could
SIGKILL the daemon inside its 15 s HTTP drain.
- `internal/llmlog`: per-pool bounded writer queue — at most 4 inserts
run at once, at most 4 096 rows wait; beyond that `Record` drops and
counts the row. Failed inserts are counted; one WARN per minute at most,
carrying the totals since start (the per-failure DEBUG line stays). New
readers `InsertFailures()` / `InsertDropped()`. `Record` stays
non-blocking; `Settle` now also waits for queued rows that have not
started.
- `cmd/ctxd`: the teardown is `shutdownSequence`: `srv.Shutdown` (15 s)
→ `llmlog.Settle` (5 s) → `scheduler.Wait` → `llmlog.Settle` (5 s) →
pool close. Settling twice is deliberate: a running dream cycle does not
stop on SIGTERM (own context, `dream.cycle_timeout`, 700 s by default),
so a settle only after `Wait` would hand the HTTP rows to the SIGKILL
that ends an over-long wait.
- `internal/handler`: server-admin-only `/api/status` section `"llmlog":
{"insert_failures", "insert_dropped"}`, present at 0/0, absent on the
tenant path and on the SSE frame.
- `docker-compose.yml`: `stop_grace_period: 30s` on `ctx`, pinned ≥ 25 s
by `internal/config` `TestComposeCtxStopGracePeriod` (scanner follows
the top-level section, so only `services.ctx` counts).
- `docs/operations.md`: shutdown / write-path section and an upgrading
note for operators with their own compose file; `docs/api.md`: the new
status section.
## Behaviour changes (intended)
- A burst of LLM calls no longer takes the whole 20-connection pool for
its telemetry rows (before: 20 of 20 under a 200-row burst; now 4).
- Rows beyond 4 096 queued are dropped and counted instead of queued
without bound.
- Shutdown waits up to 2 × 5 s longer; rows still pending after that are
lost and logged as such.
- Operators running ctx from their own compose file should set
`stop_grace_period: 30s` (upgrading note).

## Overlap search
Searched open PRs #55/#57/#63/#67 for shared paths on 2026-11-03: none
(`docs/operations.md` is touched by #63 in a different section —
whichever lands second rebases trivially). #69 (merged `16fe6436`)
touched ingest only; this branch is rebased on it.
## Cost
Per LLM call: one mutex lock on enqueue instead of one goroutine spawn;
inserts run on ≤ 4 connections instead of ≤ 20. Measured by the
reviewer's throughput probe: 4 096 real rows in 327 ms (0.32 ms per row
and slot), so a 5 s settle covers a full queue on a healthy database;
the break-even is 4.9 ms per insert. Status: the two counters are
process memory, read per call, no I/O.
## Verification
Gates, each red on `7f17de21` first:
- (a) failure counter + throttled WARN + status field: red = compile
errors (`InsertFailures`, `LLMLog` undefined; failures were DEBUG only)
→ `DROP TABLE context_llm_log` makes `InsertFailures()` +1; 100 failures
→ exactly 1 WARN, the next after the interval with total 101;
`llmlog.insert_failures` 1 on the admin path, absent for tenants.
- (b) 200 simultaneous `Record` against a 50 ms insert delay (pgx
tracer, MaxConns 20): peak concurrent inserts 20 → 4, rows 200/200.
- (c) 50 `Record` + slow inserts, then the shutdown sequence: old order
lands 0/50; `shutdownSequence` lands 50/50 plus 10/10 written during
`scheduler.Wait`. Hardening: HTTP rows landed at `Wait` entry 0/50 →
50/50.
- (d) compose pin: red "declares no stop_grace_period" → 30s; scanner
pin 3/6 → 6/6 on the shapes that fooled the first version.
`go/deadcode-testonly-allow.txt`: the `llmlog.Settle` line is removed —
it recorded Settle as reachable from tests only, and this PR gives it
its production caller; `deadcode.sh testonly` was red on the first push
for exactly that line and is green without it (third commit).
Suites on the rebased head: `go build ./...`, `go vet -tags=integration
./...`, `golangci-lint run` with and without `--build-tags=integration`
(0), `go test -short -race ./...` (65 ok), integration `-p 1` for
`cmd/ctxd`, `internal/config`, `internal/llmlog`, `internal/handler`
(full handler suite on the first commit). Independent review by a fresh
agent: stress test with `-race` at GOMAXPROCS 1/4/16 (50 × 1 000
`Record`, 10 % injected failures, 3 concurrent `Settle` callers): landed
+ failed + dropped == sent in all three runs, `pending` 0 after
`Settle`, `running` ≤ 4, queue ≤ 4 096; lost-wakeup probe 160 000/160
000 rows, 0 settle timeouts.
## Not verified
- Frequency of shutdowns that coincide with a dream cycle longer than
the grace period on the live host (the second settle is lost in that
case; the first still lands the HTTP rows).
- `scheduler.Wait` covers the dream workers only; `runSensitivityAudit`
(`events/audit.go:124`) and the dream-loop backfill
(`scheduler.go:1832`) can still `Record` after `Wait` returns — those
rows are covered by the second settle only if they are queued before it
runs. Candidate for the W06-13 force-settle wave.
- `ctxServiceEnvValues` in `compose_surface_test.go` scans the same way
the first version of this gate did (no `services:` check); left as is,
noted for a later sweep.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Server-admin status now reports LLM log insert failures and dropped
entries, including when both counts are zero. Tenant status does not
include these process-wide counters.
* **Improvements**
* LLM log writes are queued with bounded capacity and concurrency;
failures and dropped entries are counted.
* Shutdown allows pending LLM log entries additional time to finish
saving. The Docker shutdown grace period is set to 30 seconds.
* **Documentation**
* Added guidance on LLM log handling during shutdown and upgrades,
including the new status counters.

…K (Migration 158) (#72)
Wave W06-2 of the OpenAI-compatible API plan (RC-A, telemetry
foundation; design/06 §3.1 M-06-1). Migration **158**, no new table, no
`/v1` surface, no reader.
## What this changes
- `go/migrations/158_llm_log_consumer.sql`: `context_llm_log.consumer_id
UUID` (nullable, no FK — like `api_key_id`, the log outlives the
credential), `CHECK ck_llm_log_one_identity (num_nonnulls(api_key_id,
consumer_id) <= 1)` on the hypertable and every chunk, partial index
`idx_llm_log_consumer (consumer_id, created_at DESC) WHERE consumer_id
IS NOT NULL`. Idempotent (`IF NOT EXISTS`, `duplicate_object`
swallowed), `lock_timeout 3s`, no backfill (every existing row is
internal).
- `internal/llmlog`: `Entry.ConsumerID` and the 24th insert parameter
(`nullUUID`). No production code sets it yet — the gateway stamp (W06-9)
will be the only setter; every row keeps `consumer_id` NULL until then.
- Schema-contract manifest regenerated (column + index; minimum
extension versions kept at 2.30.1 / 0.8.6 as 156/157 did). `test.sh` T07
unchanged (0 new tables; the column counter covers `context_blocks`
only).
- `docs/operations.md` "Migration 158" (cost, downgrade, the export now
carries `"consumer_id": null` per JSONL line), `docs/architecture.md`
LLM-log paragraph.
## Behaviour changes (intended)
- A row that names both a knowledge key and a consumer is refused by the
database (`23514`); through `llmlog.Record` such a row is lost and
counted in `llmlog.insert_failures`. No current writer can produce one.
- `ctx-llmlog-export` JSONL lines gain the key `consumer_id` (additive).
## Consumers of the changed contracts
| Changed symbol / object | Callers and readers | Covered by |
|---|---|---|
| `context_llm_log` INSERT column list (24 columns) | the one production
INSERT in `llmlog.go`; 33 INSERT sites in 18 test files, all with
explicit column lists; no `SELECT *` reader |
`TestRecordConsumerAttribution`, existing llmlog/handler/backends suites
|
| `Entry.ConsumerID` (new, unset) | none in production |
`TestOneIdentityCheck` (Record path and raw SQL) |
| `ck_llm_log_one_identity`, `idx_llm_log_consumer` | future `/v1`
readers (W06-3 rollup trigger, W06-4 window reader) |
`TestMigration158OnPopulatedHypertable` (chunk inheritance, idempotence,
plan uses the index) |
| schema-contract manifest | `/api/contract`,
`TestCheck_FreshDB_NoDrift` | red without the 158 entries, green with
them |
## Overlap search
Open PRs #55/#57/#63/#67 on 2026-11-03: no shared files
(`docs/operations.md` is touched by #63 in another section). Rebased on
#71 (W06-1); `llmlog.go` hunks sit below W06-1's writer queue and do not
overlap.
## Cost
Boot-time migration, one transaction, `context_llm_log` locked (ACCESS
EXCLUSIVE) until commit. Measured on a synthetic copy of production
shape (1 000 000 rows, 29 chunks, 976 MB heap, TimescaleDB 2.31.0;
reproducible with `CTX_M158_PROBE_ROWS=1000000 go test -tags=integration
-run TestMigration158CostProbe ./internal/llmlog/`): `ADD COLUMN` 3 ms,
`CHECK` validation 0.38–0.45 s, index build 0.43–0.74 s, whole file
through the boot runner 0.73–0.75 s warm. Cold (buffers evicted,
independent review): 1 M / 976 MB ≈ 0.9–1.25 s, 3 M / 2.9 GB ≈ 2.85 s,
i.e. ≈ 0.7–1 s per GB and scan; a 30 GB heap would extrapolate to
roughly 40–60 s of lock at boot (not measured). Live table today: 352
565 rows, 29 chunks, 318 MB heap. Under a foreign lock the migration
aborts after 3 s with `55P03`, leaves no partial state (no column, no
constraint, no index, no `_migrations` row) and the next boot retries.
## Verification
Gates, each red on `83461171` first:
- (a) `Record` with `ConsumerID` → column set; red: `unknown field
ConsumerID` / raw SQL `42703`.
- (b) a row with both identities → `23514` on a new and on a
pre-existing chunk, and via `Record` +1 insert failure and no row; red:
without the CHECK block the insert succeeds, 0 of 9 chunks carry the
constraint.
- (c) existing writers keep `consumer_id` NULL; `EXPLAIN` of the
per-consumer window uses `idx_llm_log_consumer` on 5/5 chunks without
`enable_seqscan = off`; red: created_at index + seq scans.
- (d) second apply leaves the catalog byte-identical (incl.
`convalidated`, `conislocal`, `coninhcount`, `indisvalid`); red: without
the `duplicate_object` handler `42710`.
Suites on the head: `go build ./...`, `go vet -tags=integration ./...`,
`golangci-lint run` with and without `--build-tags=integration` (0), `go
test -short -race ./...` (65 ok), `deadcode.sh` + `deadcode.sh testonly`
(ok), integration `-p 1` for `internal/llmlog`, `internal/store`
(migration/schema/manifest suites incl. the T07 count gate),
`internal/schemacontract`, `cmd/ctxd` (137 passed, 2 expected skips).
Independent review by a fresh agent re-ran idempotence, chunk
inheritance (`\d+` on an old and a post-158 chunk), the `55P03` abort
under a foreign AccessShare lock and under a chunk-only lock, 8
concurrent writers during the migration (28 001/28 001 rows landed, no
deadlock), the rollback (`DROP INDEX/CONSTRAINT/COLUMN`, 5 ms, old
binary unaffected, new binary gets `42703` as documented) and the cold
scans above.
## Not verified
- The schema contract does not model CHECK constraints (pre-existing): a
`ck_llm_log_one_identity` dropped by hand would not show up on
`/api/contract`. Candidate for a later wave.
- Behaviour on a heap far beyond 3 GB is extrapolated, not measured.

… and backfill (Migration 159) (#73)
Wave W06-3 of the OpenAI-compatible API plan (RC-A, telemetry
foundation; design/06 §3.2 M-06-2). Migration **159**, one new table, no
reader yet (W06-4/W06-5 follow), no `/v1` surface.
## What this changes
- `go/migrations/159_llm_usage_rollup.sql`: `context_llm_usage_hourly` —
one row per UTC hour and dimension (`api_key_id` | `consumer_id`,
`pipeline`, `backend_name`, `model`, `model_alias`, `dispatch_class`,
`backend_locality`, `hop`) with counters (`calls`, `errors`,
`unattributed_ok`, `estimated_calls`, tokens, `duration_ms_sum/_n`,
`queue_wait_ms_sum/_n`, `cost_usd`) and three 16-bucket log2 histograms
(latency, queue wait, TTFT; design/05 §3.5 contract). Unique index with
`NULLS NOT DISTINCT`, three secondary indexes, `fillfactor 50`, per-5
000-dead-tuple autovacuum. SQL helpers `llm_usage_hist_idx` (via
`width_bucket`), `llm_usage_hist_one`, `hist_add` (one inlined
`ARRAY[…]` expression). `AFTER INSERT` row trigger
`trg_llm_usage_rollup` on `context_llm_log` that never raises
(type-guarded `metadata.gw` reads, clamps, every text dimension cut to
100 characters so no unique-index entry can reach the 2 704-byte B-tree
limit). Backfill of every existing row in the same transaction after
`CREATE TRIGGER` (overwriting, `IS DISTINCT FROM` guard ⇒ a second run
is a no-op).
- Manifest regenerated (table, four indexes, four functions, one
trigger; minimum extension versions unchanged); `test.sh` T07 58 → 59
tables.
- `docs/operations.md` "Migration 159" (why a trigger, cost, delete
semantics, isolation note, rollback) + two follow-ups from the #72
review (NOT VALID switch point corrected to ≈ 15–20 s at 10 GB; helper
comment grammar); `docs/architecture.md`.
## Behaviour changes (intended)
- Every `context_llm_log` insert now also upserts its hour's rollup row
(cost below).
- Deleting or truncating `context_llm_log` rows does not decrement the
rollup (ledger semantics; ctx deletes no log rows; `EvictBodies` is an
`UPDATE`).
- Text dimensions longer than 100 characters share a rollup row with
their 100-character prefix (today's longest is 25).
## Deviations from design/06 §3.2, each measured
- `llm_usage_hist_idx` uses `width_bucket` over the 15 bounds instead of
`ceil(log2(…))` on numeric: ≈ 0.15 µs vs ≈ 11 µs per call; equal for
every ms in [0, 1 000 000] (full comparison, 0 differences) and at the
bigint edges.
- `hist_add` is one `ARRAY[…]` expression the planner inlines; the
`unnest`/`array_agg` form pushed p99 Δ to 1.9–2.2 ms under eight writers
on one row (threshold 2 ms).
- `cost_usd NUMERIC` without typmod: `NUMERIC(18,8)` overflows (22003)
after ≈ 10 001 rows at the llmlog column maximum.
- Alias cut to 100 instead of 128 (04 R-06-2): one cut for all six text
dimensions keeps the worst-case index entry provably under 2 510 bytes
(six 4-byte-per-char texts of 128 already measured at 3 096 bytes ⇒
54000).
## Consumers of the changed contracts
| Changed object | Callers / readers | Covered by |
|---|---|---|
| `context_llm_log` INSERT path (trigger now fires) | the one production
INSERT (`llmlog.go`), 33 test INSERT sites, psql |
`TestUsageRollupParity` (1 000 random seeds, `Record` and raw SQL,
trigger and backfill path, Go oracle), `TestUsageRollupTotality` (64 + 2
oversize forms), `TestUsageRollupLoad` |
| `context_llm_usage_hourly` (new) | none yet (W06-4
`internal/llmusage`, W06-5 status) | `TestUsageRollupHistogram`,
`TestUsageRollupNullConflict`, `TestMigration159Idempotent`,
`TestUsageRollupSurvivesEvictBodies` |
| schema-contract manifest, T07 | `/api/contract`,
`TestCheck_FreshDB_NoDrift`, `test.sh` | red without the 159 entries (10
drifts, 59 ≠ 58), green with them |
## Overlap search
Open PRs #55/#57/#63/#67 on 2026-11-03: no shared files. Rebased on #72
(W06-2, `dc9923d8`); no further root movement since.
## Cost
Boot: the backfill is one `GROUP BY` over the log inside the migration's
transaction. Synthetic copy of production shape (1 000 000 rows, 29
chunks, 976 MB heap, TimescaleDB 2.31.0; reproducible with
`CTX_M159_PROBE_ROWS=1000000 go test -tags=integration -run
TestMigration159BackfillProbe ./internal/llmlog/`): backfill 8.0–8.3 s,
whole file through the boot runner 7.5–8.3 s, 77 239 rollup rows (one
per 12.9 log rows), 108 MB with indexes. Live table (352 720 rows) ≈ 3 s
extrapolated. `CREATE TRIGGER` holds SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE on the
hypertable until commit: concurrent inserts wait, reads do not (probed
with two sessions: an insert before `CREATE TRIGGER` is counted once by
the backfill, one after waits and is counted once by the trigger).
Per insert (`CTX_M159_LOAD_INSERTS=50000 go test -tags=integration -run
TestUsageRollupLoad ./internal/llmlog/`, 8 writers, 50 000 inserts per
side, baseline = same table without the trigger): one dimension (all
writers on one rollup row) p50 258 → 634 µs, p99 626 → 1 583 µs (Δ 0.96
ms, threshold 2 ms), HOT updates 0.918 (0.894 at fillfactor 100 — red);
64 dimensions p99 Δ 0.35 ms, HOT 0.998. The gate refuses runs below 10
000 inserts.
## Verification
Gates, each red on `dc9923d8` first (`42P01` without the migration): (a)
parity over 1 000 seeds / 17 655 rows, red without `NULLS NOT DISTINCT`
(37 deviations); (b) NULL conflict: 2 rows → 1 row with `calls = 2`; (c)
histogram: p95 from buckets within one bucket width of
`percentile_cont(0.95)`, all 30 bucket bounds exact, red with `x +
EXCLUDED.x` (42883); (d) totality over 64 malformed `metadata.gw` forms,
red with a naive cast (58/64 fail, 22P02), plus a 3 000-byte `model` and
six 128-char four-byte texts (54000 before the cut, landed and counted
after); (e) second apply leaves catalog and rollup rows (incl. `xmin`)
byte-identical; (f) `EvictBodies` leaves the rollup unchanged; (g) load
gate above; (h) manifest, T07 59, count gate; both deadcode ratchets ok.
Suites on the head: `go build ./...`, `go vet -tags=integration ./...`,
`golangci-lint run` with and without `--build-tags=integration` (0), `go
test -short -race ./...` (65 ok), `deadcode.sh` + `deadcode.sh
testonly`, integration `-p 1` for `internal/llmlog` (37 passed, 3
env-gated probes run separately), `internal/store` +
`internal/schemacontract` + `cmd/ctxd` migration/schema/manifest suites
(320 passed in store), `internal/handler`/`backends`/`chat`/`llm` status
and quota suites. Independent review by a fresh agent: 37 totality forms
(`-infinity`, year 294276, `1e400` hop, `NaN` cost, NUL, surrogates —
none raises in the trigger that the table itself accepts), full bucket
comparison over [0, 1 000 000] (0 differences), exactly-once with two
sessions around `CREATE TRIGGER`, lock inventory (`pg_locks`), load gate
re-run (p99 Δ 1.04 / 0.49 ms, HOT 0.918 / 0.998), red-proofs for (b)/(d)
and a no-trigger overlay (6 tests red).
## Not verified
- Hour-boundary crossing inside the load gate (expected update count is
now derived from the rollup rows actually created; a clock-controlled
red-proof was not built).
- Under `default_transaction_isolation = repeatable read` the upsert
raises 40001 for concurrent writers (reviewer: 1 449 of 2 000 inserts
lost); ctx runs `read committed` and sets no isolation — documented, not
changed.
- Heaps far beyond 1 M rows are extrapolated.

…ur (W06-4) (#74)
Wave W06-4 of the OpenAI-compatible API plan (RC-A, telemetry
foundation; design/06 §4.7 / §4.5, masterplan K17). No migration, no
`/v1` surface.
## What this changes
- New leaf package `internal/llmusage` (imports only the `pgxdb` handle
atoms; depguard rule `llmusage-leaf` pins that): `Window(ctx, q,
Spec{Now, Span, APIKeyIDs, Locality})` reads one rolling window as
**hourly rollup from the first full UTC hour after `now − span`** plus
**the raw `context_llm_log` rows of that first, partial hour** — the
exact semantics of the raw `created_at > now() - interval` queries it
replaces, with at most one hour of raw rows per window. It also returns
the earliest relief of each figure (oldest counted row + span),
microsecond-exact.
- `backends.QuotaAccountant.spend` reads its three figures (24 h calls,
24 h external cost, 30-day rolling external cost) through
`llmusage.Window` instead of a 30-day scan over the hypertable. The
filter stays the tenant's knowledge keys (`api_key_id`): **a `/v1`
consumer row never counts here** (K17, B-06-18) — consumer traffic
cannot exhaust `daily_calls` or the cost budget and lock a tenant's
people out of `/api/query` and the web chat. Relief timestamps are
stored on the tenant state for W06-14 (no reader yet).
- Docs: `docs/multi-tenancy.md` (spend source, asymmetry),
`docs/operations.md` (Migration 159 rollback now coupled to the reader),
`docs/architecture.md`.
## Behaviour changes (intended)
- Spend figures are byte-equal to the old query for the same clock
(parity property below); the windows now end at the accountant's clock
instead of the database's `now()` (same host, same clock in production).
- Three index probes per tenant refresh (one per window) instead of one
30-day scan.
## Deviations from design/06 §4.7, with reasons
- The raw edge always ends at the **next** full hour, also when `since`
lies exactly on one: the bucket starting at `since` holds a row stamped
exactly at `since`, which the strict lower bound excludes; the design
formula counted such a row twice (90 parity deviations with it, 0 with
the fix).
- Keys are probed one by one (`LATERAL … OFFSET 0`) instead of
`api_key_id = ANY($1)`: with `= ANY` the planner preferred the
time-leading indexes (`uq_llm_usage_hourly`, the log's `created_at`
index) and read every tenant's rows in the range — under the generic
plan the whole instance's edge hour. The locality condition sits in the
aggregates' `FILTER` so both renderings share one access path. Pinned by
`TestQuotaSpendPlan` under the custom and the forced-generic plan.
- Relief is exact (oldest raw row of the oldest counted rollup hour, one
bounded lookup) rather than `bucket_start`: the bucket variant reports
relief **too early** (11:00 for a row at 11:05:00.000007); a safe
conservative variant would have been `bucket_start + 1 h`.

## Cost
Per policy tenant every 30 s: three statements, each ≤ 1 h of raw rows
through `idx_llm_log_apikey` plus the rollup through
`idx_llm_usage_key`; measured in `TestQuotaSpendPlan`: raw rows touched
3–5 (base: 1 441, with no upper bound on `created_at` and no rollup).
Planner edge: on a rollup of a few dozen tenants the custom plan may
still pick the time-leading `uq_llm_usage_hourly` for the 30-day window
(≈ 1.5× the probe's cost); from ~100 tenants on it moves to
`idx_llm_usage_key`. Candidate for later: `INCLUDE` columns on
`idx_llm_usage_key`, one batched statement over all tenants.
## Verification
Gates, each red on `43041709` first: (a) existing quota suites green
before and after (backends 80/83, chat 1, llm 4, handler 52); (b) parity
property `llmusage.Window` vs the old `spend` SQL over 500 random seeds
with rows around both window edges — 425 deviations without the edge
rows, 90 with the design's `ceilHour`, 0 final; (c) `EXPLAIN` under
custom and generic plan: raw rows 1 441 → 3–5, rollup via
`idx_llm_usage_key`; (d) asymmetry pin: a spend-union variant (`OR
consumer_id = ANY`) counts 5 consumer calls and the gate refuses on
`daily_calls`, the shipped code counts 0 and lets the tenant through,
the control with 5 knowledge-key calls refuses; (e) relief with a fixed
clock: compile error on base, `bucket_start` variant 11:00 vs exact
11:05:00.000007.
Suites on the head: `go build ./...`, `go vet -tags=integration ./...`,
`golangci-lint run` with and without `--build-tags=integration` (0), `go
test -short -race ./...` (65 ok), `deadcode.sh` + `deadcode.sh testonly`
(ok; the new package is reached from `spend`), integration `-p 1 -race`
for `internal/llmusage` + `internal/backends`, and `-run
'Quota|Status|LLMLog'` for `internal/chat`, `internal/llm`,
`internal/handler`. Independent review by a fresh agent during the
build: 4 minor + 5 nit, all fixed or documented in the wave report.
## Not verified
- Clock skew between the daemon and the database shifts the windows by
that skew (the old query used the database clock); in production both
run on one host.
- The planner edge above is observed at ~30 synthetic tenants, not
measured on the live rollup.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Quota Improvements**
* Tenant quota calculations now use rolling 24-hour and 30-day windows
for attributed calls and provider-reported costs. Consumer-only activity
is excluded from tenant quota totals.
* Quota status now includes the earliest time counted calls or costs are
expected to leave each window.
* Usage totals combine hourly summaries with raw records from the
current partial hour, preserving accurate rolling-window figures.
* **Documentation**
* Updated quota and operations guidance to explain usage windows,
deleted-log behavior, and migration rollback considerations.

…-5) (#75)
Wave W06-5 of the OpenAI-compatible API plan (RC-A, telemetry
foundation; design/06 §4.7). No migration, no `/v1` surface.
## What this changes
- `/api/status` `llm_24h` (server view, `queryLLM24h`) and the
per-tenant `llm_24h` generation (`buildTenantRollupInto`) read the
hourly rollup `context_llm_usage_hourly` from the first full UTC hour
after `now − 24 h` plus the raw `context_llm_log` rows of that first,
partial hour, through two new readers in `internal/llmusage` (`Groups`,
`TenantGroups`), instead of scanning 24 h of raw rows per tick. The
tenant reader joins both parts through `context_api_keys` →
`context_tenant_scopes` exactly as the raw query did; a consumer's row
(`api_key_id` NULL) counts for no tenant.
- `llm_24h_complete` comes from the rollup's `unattributed_ok`
(successful rows without a backend) plus the same count over the edge
rows: a failed row without a backend keeps `complete` true, as before.
- Output is byte-identical to the raw aggregate (golden below); the one
deliberate difference is a deterministic tie order.
- Docs: `docs/operations.md` (rollup readers now quota + status;
rollback coupling), `docs/architecture.md`.
## Behaviour changes (intended)
- Rows with the same `calls` are now ordered by `backend`, then
`pipeline` (the raw query ordered by `calls` alone and left ties to the
plan; live has 16/16 ties).
- Backend and pipeline names longer than 100 characters show cut to 100
— the rollup's dimension width since migration 159 (the longest live
name has 24 characters). Pinned by a test.
- The window ends at the daemon's clock, not the database's `now()`
(same host in production; tests pin the anchor on the boundaries).
- On an error in the middle of the result the server view returns an
empty list and `complete=false` instead of the rows read so far plus
`false`.

## Cost
Per status tick: the edge is at most one hour of raw rows bounded on
both sides (23 rows in the plan test vs 1 079 for the raw 24 h scan),
the rest through `idx_llm_usage_bucket`; pinned under the custom and the
forced-generic plan. Tenant view: the same two parts joined to the key
and scope tables.
## Verification
Gates, each red on `14b99639` first: (a) existing suites green before
and after (handler 52 → 58, llmusage 9/9); (b) golden: a 16 027-byte
JSON of both views generated on the base tree from the base SQL (only
`now()` → `$1` and the tie-break added; the base functions match it up
to tie order), new code byte-equal (same sha256, empty diff); red on
base by compile error, red against overlays: no edge hour 253/300 seeds,
truncated mean 262/300, no tie-break 298/300; (c) `complete` probe: red
when the rollup read omits `unattributed_ok` and when the edge does not
count it; an error row without a backend keeps `complete` true; (d)
`EXPLAIN` custom + generic: 23 raw rows (exactly the edge) vs 1 079,
rollup via `idx_llm_usage_bucket`; the base SQL fails the same check;
(e) consumer rows absent from the tenant view — pinned, red against an
overlay that credits them to a tenant.
Suites on the head: `go build ./...`, `go vet -tags=integration ./...`,
`golangci-lint run` with and without `--build-tags=integration` (0), `go
test -short -race ./...`, `deadcode.sh` + `deadcode.sh testonly`,
integration `-p 1` for `internal/llmusage` and `-run
'Status|Events|LLMLog|Quota'` for `internal/handler` +
`internal/backends`. Independent review by a fresh agent during the
build: 1 minor (the 100-character cut — documented and pinned), 4 nits
(3 fixed, the error-path change documented above).
## Not verified
- Clock skew between daemon and database shifts the window by that skew
(same host in production).
- The 100-character cut is only observable with names ctx does not
produce today.

…r and channel (Migration 160) (#76)
Wave W06-6 of the OpenAI-compatible API plan (RC-A, telemetry
foundation; design/06 §3.3 M-06-3, masterplan K16). Migration **160**,
no new table, no `/v1` surface. The read surface `GET /api/audit`
follows in W06-7.
## What this changes
- `go/migrations/160_audit_keys_quota.sql`: audit rows in
`context_settings_audit` for `context_api_keys` (`create`, `update`,
`revoke`, `reactivate`, `delete`) and `context_tenant_quota` (`create`,
`update`, `delete`). State is projected through **whitelist** functions
`audit_state_api_key` / `audit_state_tenant_quota` (never `to_jsonb(NEW)
- …`): `key_hash`, `last_used_at`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `id`
never land in `old_value`/`new_value`. The key UPDATE trigger fires only
on the ten audited columns and only when one of them changed, so the
per-request `last_used_at` write of authentication never audits
(B-06-1). `audit_actor_meta()` reads the transaction-local stamps
(`ctx.api_key_id`, `ctx.request_id`, `ctx.audit_via`) and resolves the
actor's label, principal, tenant and server-admin flag into `metadata` —
the inputs of the W06-7 redaction. Backfill: one `snapshot` row per
existing key and quota row with `metadata.tenant_id` (12 rows on the
live install), idempotent. Index `idx_settings_audit_entity
(entity_type, created_at DESC)`.
- `internal/store/audit_via.go`: the `via` vocabulary as Go constants
(`api`, `bootstrap`, `provision`, `offboarding`, `migration`; `sql` = no
stamp), `AuditStamp`, `stampAudit` (one `set_config(…, true)` statement
inside the write transaction). Every API-driven writer of the two tables
now stamps actor + request id + via: `MintKeyWithQuota`, `MintOwnerKey`
(tenant create, project provision), `DeleteApiKey`, `UpdateApiKey`,
`UpsertTenantQuota`, the bootstrap admin key (now in a transaction,
`via='bootstrap'`, no actor), tenant offboarding (`via='offboarding'`).
A row written by psql reads `via='sql'` with no actor — the signal of a
direct intervention.
- Classification pin: `audit_classification_test.go` compares the live
column list of each audited table against audited ∪ explicitly excluded
(as data); a new unclassified column turns it red (B-06-2), per table
and per column.
- Docs: `docs/security.md` "Audit trail" (what is audited, what never
is, `via` values, actor fields), `docs/operations.md` "Migration 160".
- Hardening after review (`258e0953`): `stampAudit` refuses a non-empty
stamp on a handle that is not a `pgx.Tx` (`store: audit stamp outside a
transaction`) before anything is written — on a pool the `set_config(…,
true)` would be its own transaction and the write would silently read
`via='sql'` without an actor (red-proof: `MintOwnerKey(pool, APIStamp)`
created the key with a `via='sql'` row on `7d4adf3d`; now an error and 0
rows). Every production caller passes a transaction.
- The private plan submodule pointer is bumped in a separate commit
(plan corpus of this build).
## Behaviour changes (intended)
- Key and quota writes now leave one audit row each; the audit table
grows with the lifecycle of keys and quotas (rare), never with requests.
- The bootstrap admin key is inserted inside a transaction (was a single
statement).
- `UpsertTenantQuota` is stamped as well (otherwise the quota row would
carry no `request_id`).
## Deviations from design/06 §3.3, with reasons
- `via` falls back to `api` only when an actor was stamped, else `sql`
(the design's `COALESCE` would read a psql quota update as `api`).
- Quota trigger: the `updated_by` fallback actor applies on INSERT or
when `updated_by` changed; an UPDATE that changes no audited state
writes no row (no empty rows from `ON DELETE SET NULL`).
- Quota `entity_key` is the `scope` (the row's natural key).
- The index is created before the triggers (shorter lock window,
reviewer finding).
- Two existing tenant-create tests used `"non-admin-key-id"` as an actor
id; the stamp now casts it to `uuid`, so the fixtures use a UUID
(production actor ids are always UUIDs).
## Consumers of the changed contracts

## Cost
Boot: catalog work plus the backfill (12 rows live); `CREATE TRIGGER`
takes SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE on `context_api_keys` briefly (lock_timeout 3
s). Per key/quota write: one `audit_actor_meta` lookup (one indexed
`SELECT` on `context_api_keys`) and one audit INSERT. Per
authentication: nothing — the `last_used_at` UPDATE is outside the
trigger's column list (gate: 6 authentications + 2 no-op updates ⇒ 0
rows).
## Verification
Gates, each red on `b4d430cb` first: store gates 8 FAIL → 8 PASS,
handler gates 4 FAIL → 4 PASS, `via` pin compile error → PASS. Negative
1 (trigger without the column list): 8 audit rows for 6 authentications
+ 2 no-op updates → 0. Negative 2 (blacklist `to_jsonb(k) -
'key_hash'`): `last_used_at`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `id` leak into
old/new → only the ten whitelisted columns. Negative 3 (probe column
`secret_probe`): classification pin red → green. Negative 4
(`MintOwnerKey` without stamp): `via='sql'`, no actor → `via='api'` with
actor and `request_id`; with all stamps disabled every writer gate was
red, bootstrap, provision and offboarding included. Backfill: N keys ⇒ N
`snapshot` rows with `tenant_id`, second run 0 rows and byte-identical
catalog.
Suites on the head: `go build ./...`, `go vet -tags=integration ./...`,
`golangci-lint run` with and without `--build-tags=integration` (0), `go
test -short -race ./...` (66 ok), `deadcode.sh` + `deadcode.sh
testonly`, integration `-p 1`: `internal/store` (330),
`internal/handler` (138 in the
manage/tenant/key/audit/settings/provision selection), `internal/auth`
(14), `cmd/ctxd` (51), `internal/schemacontract` (44). Independent
reviews: one during the build (0 blocking, 2 should-fix applied — docs
downgrade sentence, per-column pin — 6 notes) and one briefed from the
main context after it (findings folded in below where they changed the
diff).
## Not verified
- The settings trigger writes shadow rows with `via='api'` during
offboarding and `PruneTenant` leaves quota rows in place — both
pre-existing, not touched here.
- `metadata.tenant_id` has no index yet; the W06-7 tenant filter runs on
`idx_settings_audit_entity` plus a JSON predicate (fine at today's row
counts, to be measured at 1 M+ rows).

The bulk /api/ingest classification exception was not applied. After fix(ingest): classify block-mode ingest writes like /api/store #69, current root calls ClassifyBlockAfterUpsert for block-mode ingest like /api/store (go/internal/handler/ingest.go:312-325), so the proposed exception is no longer true and the existing classification line remains unchanged.
Checks: each applied line was compared byte-for-byte with its current suggestion, git diff --check passed, the SSH signature verified locally, and the new PR head is ada1617fb10b9cc75161bba086437d199884879c. CI was running on that head when this comment was posted.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Verified on head ada1617f against the tree:
The three applied suggestions (README.md:105, docs/ctx-as-agent-memory.md:30 and :32) are byte-identical to the posted suggestion bodies.
The declined /api/ingest classification exception is correctly declined: root calls store.ClassifyBlockAfterUpsert for block-mode ingest since #69 (go/internal/handler/ingest.go:322), so the line "on store and on update, including staged writes" holds for every write path.
Mechanism statements on brief --hook fallback (#58) and persist --hook accepted-only counting (#62) match go/internal/cli/brief.go and go/internal/cli/persist.go on current root.

Why
I have used ctx with Claude Code since May 2026 (my first reports were #3 and #4; my first fix was #6, for the hooks
ctx initwrote, which Claude Code silently ignored). Over those months one onboarding failure kept coming back: an agent with ctx installed still behaved as if it had no memory. Sessions wrote handovers for their successor and read them back the next morning; orientation grew into arecentdump plus a dozen whole-block reads before the first answer; blocks the classifier had typed were re-typed by hand; and in one run over a thousand workflow agents worked without retrieving anything or persisting what they found, so the session re-told their findings in its own words.None of that needed a feature. What changed the behaviour was saying plainly what ctx is for an agent: its memory, not a tool beside its work. The README section "How LLMs use ctx" was the place where agents read it the other way, so that is where this PR states it. Every failure mode in the new page is one I ran into in practice.
What
The README section "How LLMs use ctx" can be read as "how the session uses a tool". In practice agents then treat ctx as something beside their work: they write handovers for the next session, read many blocks back with
get/recentinstead of asking withquery, re-type or argue with the store's classification, and start subagents that neither retrieve nor persist. This PR states the intended model at the source: ctx is the agent's persistent memory, for the session and for every subagent alike.Call; a short paragraph says thebrief/persisthooks exist for agents without a conversation of their own, and whatpersist --hookactually does with a marker; links the new page, and labels using ctx effectively as the separate drift discipline. One row in the Documentation table.get/recent/backtracking instead ofquery; overriding or arguing with the store's models; knowledge kept in instruction or memory files instead of ctx; CLI or bulk reads in place of MCPquery; subagents without memory; re-persisting a subagent's finding in the session's words; curating a digest instead of storing what happened. Plus the loop for a session and for a subagent.Checked against the code
Every mechanism statement was checked against the tree at
9f98ff65, among them:brief --hook/persist --hook:go/internal/cli/brief.go,go/internal/cli/persist.go. Line-anchored[PERSIST:category:title]markers, empty content skipped, a failed store dropped silently, upsert on category and title in the key's scope (go/internal/store/blocks.go).type_source='manual'and the classifier leaves the block for good:blocks.go,handler/context_store.go,docs/architecture.md.blocks.go.go/internal/chat/tools.go.Claims I could not locate in code were dropped (e.g. that the store assigns tags).
