fix(agent): drop the empty assistant turn from an approved-action replay (#6124)

The approved-action replay appends the sealed tool result with no assistant
prose for that round, which produced an assistant message with content "".
Anthropic's Messages API rejects a non-final assistant message with empty
content, so a resumed turn after a tool approval failed before the model saw
the result. A turn carrying neither prose nor reasoning has nothing to say to
any provider, so it is no longer appended. A round with prose, and a
reasoning-only round that DeepSeek thinking mode needs, both still append.

+browser that supports `woff2`. The bundles are the published npm artifacts,
+unmodified — `.gitattributes` turns the whitespace check off for `static/lib/`

-# Roadmap
+# Roadmap / Help Wanted
 
-This document provides a high-level view of the areas Odysseus is currently improving.
+Odysseus is on a voyage, but not home yet. It works great for me (lol), but this ship is moving fast and feedback/help would be appreciated! (I don't know what I'm doing, help).
 
-It is directional rather than exhaustive. Priorities may change as the project evolves, defects are discovered, and maintainers learn more from implementation work and user feedback.
+If you see weird CSS, strange layout behavior, or a suspiciously murky corner of
+the codebase, you are probably right to stay away.
 
-For current implementation work, see the open [GitHub issues](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues). Accepted behaviour should be documented in the repository alongside the code.
+## High Priority
 
-## Current priorities
+- SQUASH BUGS
+- Fresh install smoke tests on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Docker, native Python,
+  and WSL all need coverage.
 
-### Reliability and setup
+- Integration audit: do integrations even work? Confirm what works, what needs setup docs, and what should be removed or hidden. 
+- Cookbook reliability on other computers. This is probably the area most likely to need work across different machines, GPUs, drivers, shells, and Python environments.
+- Cookbook SGLang support across platforms. Make sure SGLang setup/serve works
+  predictably on Linux, Windows/WSL, macOS where possible, Docker, and common
+  NVIDIA/AMD hardware paths.
+- Deep Research model presets by hardware. Recommend approved model/parameter
+  profiles for small, medium, and large local setups so people with different
+  hardware can use Deep Research without guessing. Surface this either in Deep
+  Research settings or as a Cookbook scan/dropdown suggestion.
+- Cookbook model scan/download ranking. Prioritize newer architectures and
+  better hardware-fit models instead of scoring everything almost the same.
+  Ranking should account for architecture age, quant format, VRAM/RAM fit,
+  backend support, vision/mmproj requirements, and likely serve reliability.
+- Cookbook error feedback and logging. Failed downloads, dependency installs,
+  preflights, and serve jobs should show the actual command/output/error in the
+  UI, with copyable logs and clear next steps instead of just "crashed".
+- Agent prompt/context bloat. Agent mode is too heavy for smaller local models:
+  tool schemas, skills, memory, documents, and instructions can eat the context
+  before the user request really starts. We need slimmer prompts, better tool
+  selection, smaller default tool sets, and clearer guidance for models with
+  4k/8k/16k context windows.
+- Local model speculative decoding support. For Odysseus-tuned local models,
+  plan to ship or recommend a small same-tokenizer draft model when the serving
+  backend supports it. Early vLLM testing showed a generic `Qwen3-0.6B` draft
+  beside `Qwen3-8B` can materially reduce wall time, while an unsupported
+  DSpark conversion performed poorly. Treat this as a supported draft-model lane
+  first; keep MTP-specific packaging as future work only when the architecture
+  and runtime support are real. Judge this by time-to-success, tool correctness,
+  grammar, and unchanged target output, not tokens/sec alone.
+- Skill/tool prompt-injection audit. User-editable skills, notes, documents,
+  fetched pages, and memories should be treated as untrusted data. Keep testing
+  whether models follow malicious instructions from those surfaces.
+- Better degraded-state reporting for ChromaDB, SearXNG, email, ntfy, and provider probes.
+- Email performance audit. Fetching, searching, opening, deleting, and sending
+  email can feel slow, especially over IMAP/SMTP providers with high latency.
+  Need someone who knows mail performance to profile the current flow, identify
+  whether the bottleneck is IMAP folder select/fetch, cache invalidation,
+  attachment/body loading, SMTP handshakes, or frontend refresh behavior, then
+  propose safer caching/prefetch/batching without breaking multi-account state.
+- Provider setup/probing audit for Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, xAI, OpenRouter, OpenAI, and DeepSeek.
 
-- Improve fresh-install and smoke-test coverage across supported environments.
+## Refactor Targets
-- Make provider setup, probing, and failure states more predictable.
+- CSS cleanup. `static/style.css` basically Calypso's island atm.
-- Improve Cookbook reliability across hardware, operating systems, drivers, shells, and serving backends.
+- Tour core helper. The onboarding tours have too much copy-pasted scaffolding; promote a shared `tour-core.js` helper before adding more tours.
-- Improve degraded-state reporting and recovery guidance when optional services are unavailable.
+- Modal/window positioning cleanup. Some window controls have improved, but the
+  underlying popup/dropdown/fixed-position behavior is still too fragile.
+- Mobile media override discoverability. A lot of "CSS did not move" bugs are mobile `@media` overrides of the same selector; comments or linting around desktop/mobile paired rules would help.
+- Dead code pass for old routes, stale feature flags, and unused UI states.
 
-### Local model workflows
+## Frontend
 
-- Improve hardware-aware model recommendations and compatibility guidance.
+- Expand the Editor for quicker, more robust everyday use. Better file/document
-- Evaluate serving optimizations, including speculative decoding, through reproducible benchmarks.
+  handling, smoother window behavior, clearer save/export flows, stronger image
-- Improve installation, preflight checks, logging, and error reporting for local model serving.
+  editing affordances, and fewer brittle edge cases.
-- Reduce prompt and context overhead for smaller local models.
+- Better AI integration for Notes and Todos. Notes should be easier for the
+  agent to read, update, summarize, and turn into actions. Todos should be
+  assignable to an agent from the UI, possibly through a button, task action,
+  or dedicated skill/tool flow.
+- Mobile gallery/editor polish. Easier to launch/download inpaint model or any missing pieces.
+- Accessibility pass: keyboard navigation, focus states, contrast, reduced motion.
+- Improve empty states and error messages on fresh installs.
+- Tighten first-run setup, hints, and tours so they do not repeat or fight each other.
+- Vendor CDN assets eventually for a more fully self-hosted/offline mode.
 
-### Safety and resilience
+## Backend
 
-- Continue hardening tool execution, filesystem access, credentials, networking, and destructive operations.
+- More tests around endpoint probing and provider setup.
-- Treat content from documents, notes, memories, skills, and fetched pages as potentially untrusted.
+- Better task scheduler defaults and visibility.
-- Improve security-focused regression coverage and operational guidance.
+- Backup/restore guide and helper flow for `data/`.
-- Review integrations that expand access to sensitive data or privileged operations.
+- Security hardening around admin-only tools and clear docs for their risk.
 
-### Product usability
+## Not The Focus Right Now
 
-- Improve first-run setup, onboarding, hints, and tours.
+I prob shouldnt add more themes.
-- Improve accessibility, keyboard navigation, focus behaviour, contrast, and reduced-motion support.
-- Improve empty states, error messages, and recovery paths.
-- Strengthen Notes, Todos, Editor, mobile, and everyday workspace flows.
-
-### Architecture and maintainability
-
-- Reduce duplication and technical debt through focused, reviewable refactors.
-- Improve subsystem documentation as behaviour and architecture become stable.
-- Remove stale code, obsolete feature flags, and unsupported integrations.
-- Keep implementation decisions grounded in current code and verified behaviour.

 - **CSP:** nonce-based `script-src 'self' 'nonce-{nonce}' https://cdn.jsdelivr.net`. `style-src 'unsafe-inline'` is intentionally kept — `static/index.html` ships inline `<style>` blocks and JS modules set `style=""` attributes at runtime.

 ## Known Gaps
 
 These are open, acknowledged, and contributor help is welcome:
 
 1. **No shell/filesystem sandbox.** The agent `bash` and `read_file`/`write_file` tools run as the app process user with no network egress filtering or filesystem confinement. A successful prompt-injection reaching a shell-enabled admin session can make outbound requests to internal services. See #1058 for the sandbox proposal.
 
-2. **Token scopes are coarse.** There is no way to grant a session a subset of the owning user's privileges. Companion/mobile tokens carry either `chat` or `admin` scope with no per-capability granularity.
+2. **SSRF via `/api/v1/chat` `base_url` parameter.** A chat-scoped API token can supply an arbitrary `base_url`; the server forwards the LLM request to that host without validating the scheme or address. PR #1039 fixes this.
+
+3. **`src/search/` partial consolidation.** `src.search.core` and `src.search.providers` correctly alias `services.search` via `sys.modules` replacement. `analytics`, `cache`, `content`, `query`, and `ranking` are still independent copies that can drift. The SSRF regression tests in `tests/test_webhook_ssrf_resilience.py` test `src.webhook_manager` directly (separate from search), so the safety net there is intact. See #1058.
+
+4. **Token scopes are coarse.** There is no way to grant a session a subset of the owning user's privileges. Companion/mobile tokens carry either `chat` or `admin` scope with no per-capability granularity.

-# Odysseus discovery maps
-
-Compact, code-grounded discovery maps of cross-cutting systems in the checked-in Odysseus codebase. They preserve investigation context and open factual questions; they are not canonical subsystem specifications, a feature certification, or a substitute for normal testing.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Checked-in code is the source of truth for current behaviour. Mature subsystem specifications, where they exist, are the canonical documentation of accepted subsystem behaviour. Check code, tests, and configuration before reconciling a discovery finding. Discovery remains non-canonical.
-
-## Explore the maps
-
-| Document | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| [Current system map](system-map.md) | Records evidence locations, confirmed local observations, and factual open questions about subsystem boundaries. |
-| [Safety boundaries](safety-boundaries.md) | Records evidence about broad authority, safeguards, confirmed risks or gaps, and unverified behaviour. |
-
-## Working rules
-
-- **Trace the code first.** Confirm the current path in source before recording a claim.
-- **Promote selectively.** When an owning mature specification exists, add a fact only when it is verified, useful, and not already represented there.
-- **Record missing ownership.** When no owning specification exists, retain the verified finding in discovery and record missing documentation ownership as a follow-up.
-- **Retain uncertainty here.** Keep unresolved questions and useful investigation context in discovery rather than treating them as canonical truth.
-- **Keep specifications current-state only.** Do not record intentions, design direction, refactor plans, decision history, priority, ownership, or sequencing here.
-- **Investigate with cause.** Do not exhaustively revalidate existing functionality without a report, visible failure, relevant change, or high-authority review need.
-- **Review authority carefully.** Give execution, data access, external tools, credentials, destructive operations, and unattended work focused review.
-- **Use stable locations.** Cite modules, routes, classes, and functions instead of fragile line ranges or generated evidence tables.
-
-## Reconciliation flow
-
-1. Start with the relevant map and trace the cited code.
-2. Classify the finding against current source evidence and an owning mature specification where one exists.
-3. Promote only verified, useful facts that are missing from an existing owning specification.
-4. When no owning specification exists, retain the verified finding here and record missing documentation ownership as a follow-up; otherwise retain unresolved context here and correct stale wording.

->
-> This document retains dated metrics, rankings, investigation context,

-|---|---|
-| Stable runtime structure | Proposed canonical destination: `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` |
-| Stable subsystem boundaries | Proposed canonical destination: `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` |
-| Frontend module organization | `static/js/MODULE_SUMMARY.md` |
-| Counts, line totals, and rankings | This non-canonical inventory |
-| Investigation context and open questions | `discovery/` |
-| Refactor options and prioritization | Issues, Plane, or non-canonical discovery material |
-
-The transfer preserves the stable facts without promoting generated metrics or
-historical prioritization into canonical documentation.
-
-## Purpose
-
-This inventory provides a reviewable map of the current repository structure,
-large runtime modules, major subsystem boundaries, and refactor-sensitive areas.
-
-It does not:
-
-- define accepted subsystem behaviour;
-- certify runtime correctness;
-- prescribe a committed refactor sequence;
-- replace focused specifications, tests, or source review.
-
-For cross-cutting implementation evidence, see the [discovery maps](./README.md).

-## Refactor-sensitive areas
-
-### Shared persistence
-
-`core/database.py` is a central dependency containing models and shared persistence
-helpers. Changes can affect routes, services, background work, tests, migrations,
-and import compatibility.
-
-A split should not begin from file size alone. It requires:
-
-- an importer inventory;
-- model and helper ownership decisions;
-- migration compatibility checks;
-- stable re-export or migration strategy;
-- focused and full-suite validation.
-
-### Agent orchestration
-
-`src/agent_loop.py` coordinates model interaction, tool selection, policy decisions,
-multi-round execution, and background behaviour. Extraction work must preserve tool
-event semantics, policy enforcement, cancellation, and test patch points.
-
-Historical agent-loop modularization discussion is tracked in
-[#3266](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/3266).
-
-### Tool implementation boundaries
-
-Tool implementation is no longer represented by one proposed future package alone.
-Current responsibilities are distributed across:
-
-- `src/tool_execution.py`;
-- `src/tool_schemas.py`;
-- `src/tool_index.py`;
-- `src/tool_policy.py`;
-- `src/tool_security.py`;
-- `src/agent_tools/`;
-- `src/tools/`;
-- remaining compatibility surfaces such as `src/tool_implementations.py`.
-
-Historical tool modularization work is tracked in
-[#3629](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/3629).
-
-### Route ownership
-
-`routes/` now contains both flat modules and domain packages. Existing package
-boundaries should be extended only through focused changes. Broad mechanical route
-movement would affect registration, imports, tests, monkeypatch targets, and
-compatibility paths.
-
-### Frontend concentration
-
-The no-build frontend contains several large JavaScript modules and one central CSS
-file. Refactors should preserve module load order, global compatibility exports,
-DOM contracts, deep-link handling, and browser behaviour.
-
-## Non-implemented architecture options
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The paths below are historical or possible design directions. They do not describe
-> the current repository and are not approved implementation plans.
-
-Earlier planning discussed:
-
-- renaming `app.py` to `main.py`;
-- moving agent orchestration into a new `src/agent/` package;
-- introducing broad `src/domain/`, `src/infra/`, `src/api/`, or `src/pkg/` layers;
-- moving all routes into domain subpackages;
-- splitting database models into a new infrastructure hierarchy.
-
-These options should be reconsidered against the current tree rather than copied
-forward as assumed targets.
-
-## Refactor guardrails
-
-- Keep structural changes behaviour-preserving.
-- Change one ownership boundary at a time.
-- Do not mix file movement with unrelated feature work.
-- Preserve existing import and monkeypatch paths where compatibility is required.
-- Identify focused tests before modifying high-authority modules.
-- Validate startup, imports, and affected runtime paths.
-- Avoid repository-wide package reorganizations without maintainer agreement.
-- Treat generated metrics as snapshots, not architectural decisions.
-
-## Reproduce the snapshot
-
-Run these commands from the repository root.
-
-```bash
-# Tracked directory totals
-for dir in src routes core services mcp_servers scripts static/js tests; do
-  files="$(git ls-files "$dir" | wc -l)"
-  python_files="$(git ls-files "$dir" '*.py' | wc -l)"
-
-  printf '%-14s tracked=%-5s python=%-5s\n' \
-    "$dir" \
-    "$files" \

-  'static/**/*.css' \
-  'static/**/*.html' |
-grep -vE '\.min\.js$' |
-xargs wc -l |
-sort -nr |
-head -31
-```
-
-## Validation for architecture changes
-
-Use the smallest relevant checks first, then expand according to risk:
-
-```bash
-python3 -m compileall -q app.py core routes services src
-venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/<focused-test-file>.py -q
-venv/bin/python -m pytest -q
-```
-
-Startup, browser, Docker, and integration checks may also be required depending on
-the affected boundary.

-- [Background jobs and unattended task execution](#background-jobs-and-unattended-task-execution)
-
-## Shell and subprocess execution
-
-- **Boundary:** Shell routes, agent `bash` and `python` tools, local model serving, and detached background jobs.
-
-- **Available authority:** Commands run as the application process user and can create child processes.
-
-- **User-controlled inputs:** Direct shell requests, model-produced tool arguments, scheduled-task prompts, and model-serving configuration.
-
-- **Current safeguards:** Agent dispatch applies owner/admin checks and tool policy; process helpers use timeouts or bounded background-job lifecycle where implemented.
-
-- **Confirmed risks or gaps:** Intentional authority with a confirmed gap: the agent shell starts in its workspace but is not sandboxed to it, and has no egress sandbox. This is documented in source and the threat model; it is not a newly demonstrated bypass.
-
-- **Unverified behaviour:** Role-gate and disabled-tool outcomes, direct shell-route behaviour, and timeout, cancellation, and output handling for foreground and detached processes remain unverified.
-
-## Filesystem access and workspace confinement
-
-- **Boundary:** Agent read, write, patch, listing, glob, and grep tools.
-
-- **Available authority:** Read and modify files within active workspace confinement or fallback allowlisted roots.
-
-- **User-controlled inputs:** Tool paths, patches, file contents, search patterns, and workspace selection passed into the tool dispatcher.
-
-- **Current safeguards:** [`src/tool_execution.py`](../src/tool_execution.py) resolves paths, blocks sensitive subpaths, applies allowlist containment, and tightens paths to the active workspace when one is bound. File tools use those resolvers.
-
-- **Confirmed risks or gaps:** Intentional authority with safeguards. The file-tool policy does not sandbox the shell; treating a workspace as a whole-process containment boundary would be incorrect.
-
-- **Unverified behaviour:** Traversal, symlink, sensitive-name, absolute-path, and workspace-switch behaviour remains unverified.
-
-## Agent-controlled tool dispatch
-
-- **Boundary:** Model output becomes native or parsed tool calls and is dispatched by the agent loop.
-
-- **Available authority:** The authority of every enabled tool, including privileged built-ins and external tools.
-
-- **User-controlled inputs:** Chat content, attached/retrieved content that may influence the model, tool arguments, per-request tool selection, and policy toggles.
-
-- **Current safeguards:** [`src/tool_security.py`](../src/tool_security.py) blocks protected tools for non-admin users and fails closed for malformed tool names; [`src/tool_policy.py`](../src/tool_policy.py) supports disabled and guide-only policy; prompt-security helpers label untrusted context.
-
-- **Confirmed risks or gaps:** Credible risk requiring verification: aliases, legacy text tools, native function calls, and MCP-qualified names must all reach the same policy outcome. The code has specific alias handling for email/MCP names, which makes this a sensitive compatibility seam.
-
-- **Unverified behaviour:** The current policy outcomes for owner role, request mode, disabled state, native versus parsed invocation, qualified aliases, and external-content entry points remain unverified.
-
-## MCP and external tool servers
-
-- **Boundary:** Configured MCP servers and their tools are exposed to the agent through the MCP manager and routes.
-
-- **Available authority:** Depends on the server: external network access, local process access, messaging, or data mutation may be delegated outside the application.
-
-- **User-controlled inputs:** Server configuration, remote OAuth completion, tool arguments, and model-selected MCP calls.
-
-- **Current safeguards:** MCP routes are registered through [`routes/mcp_routes.py`](../routes/mcp_routes.py); MCP-qualified tools are denied to non-admin users by [`src/tool_security.py`](../src/tool_security.py). OAuth state and token persistence are handled in [`src/mcp_oauth.py`](../src/mcp_oauth.py).
-
-- **Confirmed risks or gaps:** Credible risk requiring verification: an MCP server authority is broader than the application can infer from its tool name. This map does not establish a trust or approval model for server installation and individual tool invocation.
-
-- **Unverified behaviour:** Server onboarding, credential storage, server-origin trust, OAuth callback deployment, tool disablement, and invocation audit behaviour remain unverified.
-
-## Outbound network requests and URL validation
-
-- **Boundary:** Search/content fetch, research, webhooks, skill import, provider endpoints, and other HTTP clients.
-
-- **Available authority:** The application can make outbound requests from its network position.
-
-- **User-controlled inputs:** Search/fetch URLs, imported skill URLs, webhook configuration, and some endpoint settings.
-
-- **Current safeguards:** [`src/url_security.py`](../src/url_security.py) validates untrusted public HTTP URLs and fails closed on unsuitable schemes or private addresses. [`services/search/content.py`](../services/search/content.py) resolves and rejects non-public hosts, pins resolved addresses for fetches, caps bodies, and limits redirects.
-
-- **Confirmed risks or gaps:** Intentional split: administrator-created model endpoints may target private providers, while untrusted URLs use public-address checks. That distinction is required for self-hosted deployments but needs explicit call-site review.
-
-- **Unverified behaviour:** The URL-source classification for outbound clients and the current handling of redirects and DNS changes remain unverified.
-
-## Secrets, credentials, and vault sessions
-
-- **Boundary:** Application-managed encrypted secrets, API keys, provider credentials, and Bitwarden/Vaultwarden CLI sessions.
-
-- **Available authority:** Credentials unlock remote providers and connected personal services.
-
-- **User-controlled inputs:** Administrative configuration, login/unlock requests, imported settings, and agent vault tool arguments.
-
-- **Current safeguards:** [`src/secret_storage.py`](../src/secret_storage.py) uses a locally stored Fernet key with restrictive permissions for supported database secrets. Vault routes require an administrator, avoid passing master passwords in command arguments, and set restrictive permissions on the vault-session file.
-
-- **Confirmed risks or gaps:** Confirmed current boundary: vault session data is persisted through the vault path, not through [`src/secret_storage.py`](../src/secret_storage.py). This is an unresolved question about current security semantics, not a confirmed exposure.
-
-- **Unverified behaviour:** Current encryption-at-rest, owner scope, rotation, lock/logout, backup/restore, and log/tool-result exposure behaviour remains unverified.
-
-## Authentication and privileged administration
-
-- **Boundary:** Session authentication, API tokens, privileged routes, and internal tool loopback.
-
-- **Available authority:** Administrative identity can access execution, settings, integrations, data deletion, and secrets.
-
-- **User-controlled inputs:** Login/signup data, session cookies, API tokens, authentication configuration, and requests to privileged routes.
-
-- **Current safeguards:** [`core/auth.py`](../core/auth.py), [`core/middleware.py`](../core/middleware.py), and route-level checks establish identity and administrator gates. [`app.py`](../app.py) warns when localhost bypass is configured; [`SECURITY.md`](../SECURITY.md) documents deployment requirements.
-
-- **Confirmed risks or gaps:** Intentional authority with safeguards. Security depends on deployments keeping authentication enabled and internal services private; this map does not audit reverse-proxy or environment configuration.
-
-- **Unverified behaviour:** Setup, anonymous, non-admin, admin, token, and internal-loopback behaviour, including privileged-route gate consistency, remains unverified.
-
-## Deletion, wipe, backup, and restore
-
-- **Boundary:** Administrative wipe, cleanup, backup import/export, and the backup restore command.
-
-- **Available authority:** Delete or replace user data and credentials.
-
-- **User-controlled inputs:** Administrative HTTP requests, cleanup choices, backup payloads, archive paths, and restore command options.
-
-- **Current safeguards:** Administrative wipe routes use the administrative boundary. Cleanup exposes a preview route before mutation. The documented backup tool requires explicit restore confirmation, stages the old data directory, and validates archive members before extraction.
-
-- **Confirmed risks or gaps:** Intentional destructive authority. Backup archives contain secrets by design, as documented in [`docs/backup-restore.md`](../docs/backup-restore.md); this is an operator confidentiality responsibility, not a code defect established here.
-
-- **Unverified behaviour:** Role-gate, confirmation, archive-rejection, staged-recovery, and owner-isolation behaviour remains unverified. No destructive runtime test was performed.
-
-## Background jobs and unattended task execution
-
-- **Boundary:** Scheduled tasks, background-job monitor, startup tasks, and notification/delivery work that continue without an active browser request.
-
-- **Available authority:** Scheduled agent work can obtain model access and, for eligible owners, shell and file tools; task output can interact with connected services.
-
-- **User-controlled inputs:** Stored task prompt, schedule, model/crew selection, enabled-tool configuration, output target, and prior persisted state.
-
-- **Current safeguards:** [`src/task_scheduler.py`](../src/task_scheduler.py) serializes execution, records task runs, associates work with an owner, and applies the agent owner-based tool gate. [`src/bg_jobs.py`](../src/bg_jobs.py) keeps bounded state and can terminate overlong subprocess jobs.
-
-- **Confirmed risks or gaps:** Credible risk requiring verification: authority is inherited and exercised later, so changes to roles, task configuration, and disabled tools must be checked at execution time rather than assumed from task creation.
-
-- **Unverified behaviour:** Creation, editing, role-change, scheduling, cancellation, restart-recovery, and execution behaviour remains unverified, including whether current policy is re-evaluated before privileged action.

-## Startup and application composition
-
-- **How it works:** [`app.py`](../app.py) creates the application, mounts static assets, constructs shared services, registers route factories, and owns lifespan startup and shutdown. [`src/app_initializer.py`](../src/app_initializer.py) prepares application state; [`core/`](../core/) provides persistence, authentication, middleware, sessions, and platform helpers.
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`app.py`](../app.py); [`src/app_initializer.py`](../src/app_initializer.py); [`core/database.py`](../core/database.py); [`core/auth.py`](../core/auth.py); [`core/middleware.py`](../core/middleware.py); [`routes/`](../routes/).
-
-- **Known problems:** None recorded by this mapping.
-
-- **Open question:** Which component currently owns startup and shutdown for each long-lived service?
-
-## Frontend shell and browser interaction
-
-- **How it works:** [`static/index.html`](../static/index.html) is served by the root and SPA deep-link routes in [`app.py`](../app.py); [`static/app.js`](../static/app.js), [`static/style.css`](../static/style.css), and [`static/js/`](../static/js/) implement the client surface.
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`static/index.html`](../static/index.html); [`static/app.js`](../static/app.js); [`static/js/`](../static/js/); [`static/style.css`](../static/style.css); [`app.py`](../app.py) deep-link handlers.
-
-- **Known problems:** The `/backgrounds` route in [`app.py`](../app.py) calls `serve_html_with_nonce` for `static/backgrounds.html`, but that file is absent from [`static/`](../static/). This is a confirmed broken prototype route, not evidence about the rest of the frontend.
-
-- **Open question:** Is `/backgrounds` currently an intentionally supported route or an obsolete prototype?
-
-## Chat, sessions, and streaming
-
-- **How it works:** [`routes/chat_routes.py`](../routes/chat_routes.py) and [`routes/chat_helpers.py`](../routes/chat_helpers.py) coordinate requests, session state, and SSE delivery. [`src/chat_handler.py`](../src/chat_handler.py), [`src/chat_processor.py`](../src/chat_processor.py), [`src/llm_core.py`](../src/llm_core.py), and [`src/session_actions.py`](../src/session_actions.py) provide message preparation, provider interaction, and session operations.
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`routes/chat_routes.py`](../routes/chat_routes.py); [`routes/chat_helpers.py`](../routes/chat_helpers.py); [`routes/session_routes.py`](../routes/session_routes.py); [`src/chat_handler.py`](../src/chat_handler.py); [`src/chat_processor.py`](../src/chat_processor.py); [`src/llm_core.py`](../src/llm_core.py); [`core/session_manager.py`](../core/session_manager.py).
-
-- **Known problems:** [`src/agent_loop.py`](../src/agent_loop.py) annotates `_resolved_tool_event_name` with `Any` but imports no `Any` and does not enable postponed annotation evaluation. Python evaluates that annotation while importing the module, so this is an import-time defect at the checked baseline.
-
-- **Open question:** No end-to-end provider or browser streaming run was performed for this map.
-
-## Agents, tools, and execution
-
-- **How it works:** [`src/agent_loop.py`](../src/agent_loop.py) drives multi-round tool use. [`src/tool_execution.py`](../src/tool_execution.py) dispatches calls and binds workspace context. [`src/agent_tools/`](../src/agent_tools/) contains individual implementations; [`src/tool_security.py`](../src/tool_security.py) and [`src/tool_policy.py`](../src/tool_policy.py) apply role and request policies. Long-running command work is represented by [`src/bg_jobs.py`](../src/bg_jobs.py).
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`src/agent_loop.py`](../src/agent_loop.py); [`src/tool_execution.py`](../src/tool_execution.py); [`src/agent_tools/`](../src/agent_tools/); [`src/tool_security.py`](../src/tool_security.py); [`src/tool_policy.py`](../src/tool_policy.py); [`src/tool_schemas.py`](../src/tool_schemas.py); [`src/bg_jobs.py`](../src/bg_jobs.py).
-
-- **Known problems:** The import-time annotation defect above blocks the main agent/tool path. The shell is intentionally not a filesystem or network sandbox; that is an authority boundary, not by itself a vulnerability claim.
-
-- **Open question:** Which native, legacy, and MCP-qualified invocation paths reach each policy gate?
-
-## Models, providers, and local serving
-
-- **How it works:** Model routes delegate to discovery, capabilities, endpoint resolution, and LLM core modules. Cookbook routes and hardware-fit services handle model lifecycle and local-serving support.
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`routes/model_routes.py`](../routes/model_routes.py); [`src/model_discovery.py`](../src/model_discovery.py); [`src/model_capabilities.py`](../src/model_capabilities.py); [`src/endpoint_resolver.py`](../src/endpoint_resolver.py); [`src/llm_core.py`](../src/llm_core.py); [`routes/cookbook_routes.py`](../routes/cookbook_routes.py); [`src/cookbook_serve_lifecycle.py`](../src/cookbook_serve_lifecycle.py); [`services/hwfit/`](../services/hwfit/).
-
-- **Known problems:** None recorded by this mapping.
-
-- **Open question:** Which endpoint inputs are administrator-created and permitted to use private provider addresses?
-
-## Search and research
-
-- **How it works:** HTTP search routes use [`services/search/`](../services/search/); research is exposed through [`routes/research/`](../routes/research/) and implemented in [`services/research/`](../services/research/), [`src/deep_research.py`](../src/deep_research.py), and related helpers. [`src/search/`](../src/search/) remains an import-compatibility layer for callers not yet moved to `services.search`.
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`routes/search_routes.py`](../routes/search_routes.py); [`services/search/`](../services/search/); [`routes/research/research_routes.py`](../routes/research/research_routes.py); [`services/research/`](../services/research/); [`src/deep_research.py`](../src/deep_research.py); [`src/search/`](../src/search/).
-
-- **Known problems:** None recorded by this mapping.
-
-- **Open question:** No live provider request was made; provider configuration and network access remain unverified.
-
-## Documents, retrieval, and personal knowledge
-
-- **How it works:** Document routes coordinate upload handling, document processing, and editor actions. Personal-document and RAG modules use Chroma and embedding clients. PDF viewing uses the optional-dependency loader in [`src/pdf_runtime.py`](../src/pdf_runtime.py); form extraction and filling live separately in [`src/pdf_forms.py`](../src/pdf_forms.py) and [`src/pdf_form_doc.py`](../src/pdf_form_doc.py).
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`routes/document_routes.py`](../routes/document_routes.py); [`src/upload_handler.py`](../src/upload_handler.py); [`src/document_processor.py`](../src/document_processor.py); [`src/document_actions.py`](../src/document_actions.py); [`src/personal_docs.py`](../src/personal_docs.py); [`src/rag_manager.py`](../src/rag_manager.py); [`src/embeddings.py`](../src/embeddings.py); [`src/pdf_runtime.py`](../src/pdf_runtime.py); [`src/pdf_forms.py`](../src/pdf_forms.py); [`src/pdf_form_doc.py`](../src/pdf_form_doc.py).
-
-- **Known problems:** PDF viewing/runtime loading and PDF form processing are separate implementations. That separation is confirmed and intentional in the source; it is not a defect without a reported behavioural failure.
-
-- **Open question:** Optional PDF dependencies and representative uploaded documents were not exercised.
-
-## Memory and skills
-
-- **How it works:** Memory routes use [`services/memory/`](../services/memory/) and vector helpers. Skills are exposed through [`routes/skills_routes.py`](../routes/skills_routes.py), stored and managed in [`services/memory/skills.py`](../services/memory/skills.py), and may be imported through [`services/memory/skill_importer.py`](../services/memory/skill_importer.py).
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`routes/memory/memory_routes.py`](../routes/memory/memory_routes.py); [`services/memory/`](../services/memory/); [`src/memory.py`](../src/memory.py); [`src/memory_vector.py`](../src/memory_vector.py); [`routes/skills_routes.py`](../routes/skills_routes.py); [`services/memory/skills.py`](../services/memory/skills.py); [`services/memory/skill_importer.py`](../services/memory/skill_importer.py).
-
-- **Known problems:** None recorded by this mapping.
-
-- **Open question:** Which imported skill content can reach execution-capable paths, and which validation occurs before that point?
-
-## Email, calendar, contacts, notes, and tasks
-
-- **How it works:** Dedicated route modules own email, CalDAV calendar, CardDAV contacts, notes, and tasks. Supporting modules include email helpers and pollers, CalDAV sync and writeback, and the task scheduler.
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`routes/email_routes.py`](../routes/email_routes.py); [`routes/calendar_routes.py`](../routes/calendar_routes.py); [`routes/contacts/contacts_routes.py`](../routes/contacts/contacts_routes.py); [`routes/note/note_routes.py`](../routes/note/note_routes.py); [`routes/task_routes.py`](../routes/task_routes.py); [`routes/assistant_routes.py`](../routes/assistant_routes.py); [`src/caldav_sync.py`](../src/caldav_sync.py); [`src/caldav_writeback.py`](../src/caldav_writeback.py); [`src/task_scheduler.py`](../src/task_scheduler.py).
-
-- **Known problems:** None recorded by this mapping.
-
-- **Open question:** External account behaviour, writeback, and delivery require controlled credentials and are not runtime-validated here.
-
-## Media, speech, and image work
-
-- **How it works:** Gallery and image routes coordinate media features. Service modules own speech and media integrations; [`src/generated_images.py`](../src/generated_images.py) and [`src/visual_report.py`](../src/visual_report.py) support artifact handling and presentation.
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`routes/gallery/gallery_routes.py`](../routes/gallery/gallery_routes.py); [`routes/stt_routes.py`](../routes/stt_routes.py); [`routes/tts_routes.py`](../routes/tts_routes.py); [`src/generated_images.py`](../src/generated_images.py); [`services/stt/`](../services/stt/); [`services/tts/`](../services/tts/); [`services/faces/`](../services/faces/); [`src/visual_report.py`](../src/visual_report.py).
-
-- **Known problems:** None recorded by this mapping.
-
-- **Open question:** Hardware- and provider-dependent media workflows were not exercised.
-
-## Authentication, secrets, and privileged administration
-
-- **How it works:** [`core/auth.py`](../core/auth.py) and [`core/middleware.py`](../core/middleware.py) provide identity and request gates. [`src/secret_storage.py`](../src/secret_storage.py) encrypts application-managed database secrets with a local Fernet key. Vault handling is separate: [`routes/vault_routes.py`](../routes/vault_routes.py) and [`src/tools/vault.py`](../src/tools/vault.py) invoke the Bitwarden CLI and persist its session data in the application data area.
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`core/auth.py`](../core/auth.py); [`core/middleware.py`](../core/middleware.py); [`routes/auth_routes.py`](../routes/auth_routes.py); [`routes/api_token_routes.py`](../routes/api_token_routes.py); [`src/secret_storage.py`](../src/secret_storage.py); [`routes/vault_routes.py`](../routes/vault_routes.py); [`src/tools/vault.py`](../src/tools/vault.py); [`routes/admin_wipe/admin_wipe_routes.py`](../routes/admin_wipe/admin_wipe_routes.py).
-
-- **Known problems:** Vault-command handling and local application secret storage are distinct paths with different storage mechanisms. This is a source-confirmed boundary, not evidence that either path is compromised.
-
-- **Open question:** What are the current confidentiality, ownership, rotation, and backup semantics for vault session data?
-
-## Persistence, background work, and operations
-
-- **How it works:** SQLite models and persistence are centred in [`core/database.py`](../core/database.py); managers use application data paths. The scheduler and background-job monitor can continue work outside a live browser request. Operational routes cover cleanup, backup, and administrative wipe; the repository also provides a backup script and user documentation.
-
-- **Evidence locations:** [`core/database.py`](../core/database.py); [`src/runtime_paths.py`](../src/runtime_paths.py); [`src/task_scheduler.py`](../src/task_scheduler.py); [`src/bg_jobs.py`](../src/bg_jobs.py); [`src/bg_monitor.py`](../src/bg_monitor.py); [`routes/backup_routes.py`](../routes/backup_routes.py); [`routes/cleanup/cleanup_routes.py`](../routes/cleanup/cleanup_routes.py); [`routes/admin_wipe/admin_wipe_routes.py`](../routes/admin_wipe/admin_wipe_routes.py); [`scripts/odysseus-backup`](../scripts/odysseus-backup); [`docs/backup-restore.md`](../docs/backup-restore.md).
-
-- **Known problems:** None recorded by this mapping.
-
-- **Open question:** What current behaviour applies to background execution, cancellation, retries, and authority inheritance?

-## Architectural constraints
-
-- Preserve established import and compatibility paths unless a focused change
-  explicitly migrates them.
-- Keep HTTP concerns in route modules and reusable domain behaviour in runtime
-  or service modules.
-- Treat shared persistence, agent orchestration, tool execution, and application
-  startup as high-authority boundaries.
-- Change one ownership boundary at a time.
-- Do not mix structural movement with unrelated feature behaviour.
-- Validate affected imports, startup paths, compatibility surfaces, and tests.
-
-## Frontend
-
-The browser frontend is a no-build ES-module application under `static/`.
-
-Its maintained module-level structure is documented in
-[`static/js/MODULE_SUMMARY.md`](../static/js/MODULE_SUMMARY.md).
-
-## Investigation and snapshots
-
-Non-canonical investigation material is maintained under [`discovery/`](../discovery/).
-
-The following documents may contain dated observations, metrics, unresolved
-questions, or historical planning and must not be treated as specifications:
-
-- [`discovery/system-map.md`](../discovery/system-map.md)
-- [`discovery/architecture-runtime-inventory.md`](../discovery/architecture-runtime-inventory.md)
-
-## Documentation authority
-
-- Code, tests, and configuration define implemented behaviour.
-- Mature specifications define accepted subsystem behaviour where they exist.
-- Following maintainer acceptance, this document will define the high-level
-  architecture map.
-- Discovery documents preserve evidence and uncertainty but remain
-  non-canonical.

-# Documentation style
-
-This guide defines the shared structure and writing conventions for Odysseus documentation.
-
-## Principles
-
-- Write for a clear audience and purpose.
-- State whether a document is canonical, informational, a snapshot, or planning material.
-- Prefer current behaviour over historical explanation.
-- Link to source files, tests, issues, or other documentation when useful.
-- Separate verified behaviour from assumptions, open questions, and future work.
-- Keep headings descriptive and consistent.
-- Use Markdown callouts where status or risk must be visible.
-- Do not use emojis.
-
-## Document status
-
-Use a status callout near the top when the document is not normal canonical guidance.
-
-### Canonical documentation
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> This document describes accepted current behaviour. Verify implementation-sensitive details against the current code and tests.
-
-### Discovery material
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> This is non-canonical discovery material. It records code-grounded observations and open questions.
-
-### Snapshot or inventory
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> This document is a dated snapshot. Counts, paths, and implementation details may drift as the codebase changes.
-
-### Planning material
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> This document records planning context. It does not define current runtime behaviour or guarantee future implementation.
-
-## Recommended structure
-
-Use the following sections where relevant:
-
-1. Title
-2. Purpose or status callout
-3. Scope
-4. Current behaviour or guidance
-5. Safety, limitations, or known gaps
-6. Validation or evidence
-7. Related documentation
-
-Not every document needs every section.
-
-## Writing style
-
-- Use concise sentences.
-- Prefer direct language.
-- Avoid jokes, filler, and informal warnings.
-- Avoid repeating the same guidance across several files.
-- Link to the owning document instead of duplicating large sections.
-- Use lists for procedures, requirements, and comparisons.
-- Use tables only when they improve scanning.
-- Use fenced code blocks with an appropriate language identifier.
-- Use relative repository links for internal files.
-
-## Authority
-
-The current code, tests, and configuration are the source of truth for implemented behaviour.
-
-Canonical documentation describes accepted behaviour and supported workflows.
-
-Discovery, inventory, and planning documents must identify themselves explicitly and must not silently become behavioural specifications.

 Odysseus is a self-hosted workspace with powerful local tools: shell access, file uploads, model downloads, web research, email/calendar integrations, and API tokens. Treat it like an admin console.

 - Keep `LOCALHOST_BYPASS=false` outside local development.

 - Do not expose it directly to the public internet without HTTPS and a trusted reverse proxy or private access layer.
 - Keep `.env`, `data/`, `logs/`, databases, uploads, generated media, backups, auth/session files, API keys, and model/provider tokens out of Git and private shares. They are ignored by default.

If your access layer reaches Odysseus on the same host, proxy to `http://127.0.0.1:7000` and keep `AUTH_ENABLED=true` and `LOCALHOST_BYPASS=false`. Any proxy that forwards `X-Forwarded-Proto: https` gets `Secure` session cookies without configuration, so `SECURE_COOKIES` only needs setting when you want to override that — force it on for a proxy that forwards no scheme at all, or off while you still serve plain HTTP.
 `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` lists exact permitted origins for cross-origin browser/API clients; ordinary same-origin reverse-proxy access usually does not need a special CORS entry.
 
+#### Faster over the network: HTTP/2
+
+The frontend is raw ES modules with no bundler, so a page load is a few hundred
+small same-origin requests. Over HTTP/1.1 browsers typically allow only a small
+number of concurrent connections per host (commonly around six), so many of
+those requests are serialized across multiple round trips. On localhost that
+costs almost nothing. Over a LAN, VPN, or remote link it can become a major
+part of load time, especially as latency increases.
+
+HTTP/2 multiplexes them onto one connection and the serialisation disappears.
+Odysseus needs no changes for this — uvicorn keeps speaking HTTP/1.1 on
+loopback and the proxy speaks HTTP/2 to the browser. Mainstream browsers
+negotiate HTTP/2 for normal web pages over TLS; they do not use the cleartext
+h2c mode here, so browser-facing HTTP/2 requires a certificate. The
+`--ssl-certfile` route in *HTTPS + LAN/Tailscale exposure* above gives you
+HTTPS but not HTTP/2 — uvicorn does not speak it.
+
+**1. Install Caddy.** See the [install docs](https://caddyserver.com/docs/install)
+for your platform; on macOS, `brew install caddy`.
+
+**2. Write a `Caddyfile`.** Pick the block that matches how you reach the
+machine. Replace `7000` if Odysseus listens elsewhere — the macOS start script
+uses `7860`.
+
+Public domain, Caddy obtains and renews the certificate itself:
+
+```
+odysseus.example.com {
+	reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:7000
+}
+```
+
+Tailscale, no public DNS needed — `tailscale cert` issues a browser-trusted
+certificate for a tailnet name and writes `<domain>.crt` and `<domain>.key`:
+
+```bash
+tailscale cert myhost.tailnet-name.ts.net
+```
+
+```
+myhost.tailnet-name.ts.net {
+	tls /path/to/myhost.tailnet-name.ts.net.crt /path/to/myhost.tailnet-name.ts.net.key
+	reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:7000
+}
+```
+
+LAN with your own certificate — same shape, your own files:
+
+```
+odysseus.lan {
+	tls /path/to/cert.pem /path/to/key.pem
+	reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:7000
+}
+```
+
+Give `tls` absolute paths: a service starts in a working directory you did not
+choose. If port 443 is already taken, append a port to the site address
+(`odysseus.example.com:8443`) and use it in the URL. That alone does not free
+port 80 — Caddy still binds it for the HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect, and fails to
+start with `listen tcp :80: bind: address already in use` if something else
+holds it. Turn the redirect off with a global block at the top of the file:
+
+```
+{
+	auto_https disable_redirects
+}
+```
+
+**3. Run it in the foreground first:**
+
+```bash
+caddy run --config ./Caddyfile
+```
+
+Once that works, run it as a service:
+
+```bash
+brew services start caddy          # macOS — reads $(brew --prefix)/etc/Caddyfile, not ./Caddyfile
+sudo systemctl enable --now caddy  # Linux, if your package installed the unit
+```
+
+Odysseus's own service is unchanged; the proxy runs alongside it. Under Docker,
+run the proxy as another container, or on the host pointing at the published
+port.
+
+**4. Point Odysseus at the new origin** in `.env`, then restart it.
+
+A proxy that exposes the HTTPS request scheme to Odysseus needs no `SECURE_COOKIES` setting. Only force it on when the proxy cannot expose that scheme:
+
+```bash
+# only if the proxy cannot expose the external HTTPS scheme to Odysseus:
+SECURE_COOKIES=true
+# only if you use remote MCP servers with OAuth:
+OAUTH_REDIRECT_BASE_URL=https://odysseus.example.com
+```
+
+Gmail OAuth needs nothing here when the proxy runs on the same host: the
+redirect URI is built from the incoming request, and uvicorn rewrites the
+scheme from `X-Forwarded-Proto` for proxies it trusts — by default only
+`127.0.0.1`. A proxy in a separate container or on another machine is not
+trusted, so pin the URI there:
+
+```bash
+GOOGLE_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI=https://odysseus.example.com/api/email/oauth/google/callback
+```
+
+(uvicorn's own `FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS` widens that trust, but it has to be in the
+environment uvicorn starts with — `.env` is read by the app afterwards, too
+late for it to take effect.)
+
+**5. Confirm HTTP/2 is really on:**
+
+```bash
+curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_version}\n' https://odysseus.example.com/
+# 2
+```
+
+The status code is not the thing to check here — a logged-out request redirects
+to the login page, so `curl -I` shows `HTTP/2 302`, and the `HTTP/2` prefix is
+the part that matters. The browser reports the same in the Network panel's
+Protocol column (`h2`); in Chrome and Firefox that column is hidden until you
+enable it by right-clicking the column headers.
+
+Three things bite when moving an existing install behind TLS:
+
+- Leave `SECURE_COOKIES` unset when Odysseus can see the external HTTPS scheme;
+  the cookie then follows the request automatically. If your proxy cannot expose
+  that scheme, set `SECURE_COOKIES=true` **at the same time** you stop serving
+  plain HTTP, not before. An explicit `true` applies to every login, so while an
+  HTTP entrypoint is still reachable the browser will reject the `Secure` cookie
+  there and login will appear to loop.
+- `OAUTH_REDIRECT_BASE_URL` defaults to `http://localhost:7000`. Unlike the
+  Gmail redirect URI it cannot be derived from a request — it is registered
+  with each MCP authorization server up front — so set it to the external
+  origin if you use remote MCP servers over OAuth.
+- Odysseus sends `Strict-Transport-Security` once it sees `X-Forwarded-Proto:
+  https`. HSTS applies to the whole hostname and ignores the port, so any other
+  plain-HTTP service on that same hostname becomes unreachable in browsers that
+  have visited Odysseus. Give Odysseus its own hostname, or strip the header at
+  the proxy (`header_down -Strict-Transport-Security` in Caddy).
+
+Server-sent events are not buffered by this configuration, so chat streaming
+arrives token by token; add `flush_interval -1` inside the `reverse_proxy`
+block if you want that pinned explicitly. nginx needs `proxy_buffering off;`
+for the same reason.
+
+Changing the external origin also affects state scoped to it. Service workers
+and their caches are origin-scoped, so moving to a different origin starts with
+a cold load. Cookies follow their own domain/path/security rules rather than
+being port-scoped: changing the hostname normally requires a new login, while
+changing only the scheme or port does not by itself guarantee that existing
+cookies disappear.

+This module is replaced in ``sys.modules`` by the canonical module object so
-import logging
+that ``import routes.webhook_routes``, ``from routes.webhook_routes import X``,
-from typing import Optional
+``importlib.import_module("routes.webhook_routes")``, and the
+``__import__("routes.webhook_routes", fromlist=[...])`` + ``setattr(wh_mod,
+...)`` pattern used by test_null_owner_gates.py all operate on the *same*
+object. Keeps existing import paths working after slice 2l (#4082/#4071).
+Source-introspection tests read the canonical file by path.

-> [!NOTE]
+> **Purpose**: Phase 0 planning baseline for codebase readability improvements (#4071).
-> The dated architecture runtime inventory has been classified and transferred
+> **Parent issue**: [#4082](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/4082)
-> to [`discovery/architecture-runtime-inventory.md`](../discovery/architecture-runtime-inventory.md)
+> **Last updated**: dev@b58af42 | 2026-06-16
-> after verification of its stable facts.
+> **Status**: Draft — to be reviewed before follow-up slices open.
->
+> **Snapshot basis**: Importer / file / import-line counts are refreshed to `dev@b58af42` (2026-06-16) and are recomputable via the commands in §3.4. **Line counts** in §2.1 / §2.2 are a snapshot from an earlier baseline and drift as `dev` moves — recompute any of them with `wc -l <file>`. This inventory tracks structure and risk, not live metrics.
-> Stable runtime structure and subsystem boundaries were transferred to the
-> proposed canonical destination,
-> [`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`](../docs/ARCHITECTURE.md), for maintainer review.

+### 1.2 Directory Flatness Metric
+
+| Directory | Flat `.py` Files | Subdirectories | Concern |
+|-----------|-----------------|----------------|---------|
+| `src/` | **95** | 2 (`agent_tools/`, `search/`) | No domain grouping; 95 files in one directory |
+| `routes/` | **54** | 0 | All route handlers in one flat directory |
+| `core/` | 10 | 0 | Manageable, but `database.py` is oversized |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Largest Runtime Modules
+
+### 2.1 Python Backend
+
+| Rank | File | Lines | Classes | Functions | Risk |
+|------|------|-------|---------|-----------|------|
+| 1 | `src/tool_implementations.py` | **4,032** | 0 | ~48 | **HIGH** |
+| 2 | `routes/email_routes.py` | **3,245** | — | — | **MEDIUM** |
+| 3 | `routes/cookbook_routes.py` | **2,969** | — | — | **MEDIUM** |
+| 4 | `src/agent_loop.py` | **2,961** | 0 | ~24 | **HIGH** |
+| 5 | `src/task_scheduler.py` | **2,330** | — | 5 | MEDIUM |
+| 6 | `routes/model_routes.py` | **2,266** | — | — | MEDIUM |
+| 7 | `core/database.py` | **2,265** | 28 | ~59 helpers | **HIGH** |
+| 8 | `src/builtin_actions.py` | **2,262** | 2 | ~24 | MEDIUM |
+| 9 | `src/llm_core.py` | **2,164** | — | — | MEDIUM |
+| 10 | `mcp_servers/email_server.py` | 2,197 | — | — | LOW (separate process) |
+| 11 | `src/visual_report.py` | 1,918 | — | — | LOW |
+| 12 | `routes/gallery_routes.py` | 1,896 | — | — | LOW |
+| 13 | `src/ai_interaction.py` | 1,846 | — | — | MEDIUM |
+| 14 | `routes/document_routes.py` | 1,717 | — | — | LOW |
+| 15 | `routes/skills_routes.py` | 1,648 | — | — | LOW |
+
+**Heuristic**: Files > 2,000 lines with 20+ public symbols and many importers are the highest-risk splits. Files 1,000–2,000 lines are medium-risk if tightly coupled.
+
+### 2.2 Frontend
+
+| File | Lines | Concern |
+|------|-------|---------|
+| `static/style.css` | **36,653** | Entire app CSS in one file (tracked separately in #2617) |
+| `static/js/document.js` | **9,776** | Single JS file for document functionality |
+| `static/js/slashCommands.js` | 6,498 | |
+| `static/js/settings.js` | 5,266 | |
+| `static/js/emailLibrary.js` | 5,217 | |
+| `static/js/notes.js` | 5,124 | |
+| `static/js/chat.js` | 4,985 | |
+| `static/app.js` | 4,090 | |
+
+**Note**: Frontend modularization is tracked separately in #2617 (CSS) and is not the focus of this Phase 0 inventory. Frontend is listed here for completeness but follow-up slices should target Python backend boundaries first.
+

+
+## 3. Import Dependency Graph
+
+### 3.1 Who Depends on `core/database.py`
+
+**102 files** import from `core.database` — this is the most depended-upon module:
+
+- All route handlers (`routes/*.py`)
+- Most `src/*.py` files
+- `core/session_manager.py`, `core/auth.py`
+- Multiple test files
+
+**Implication**: Any split of `core/database.py` is the highest-risk refactor. It should be tackled **last**, never first.
+
+### 3.2 Who Depends on `src/tool_implementations.py`
+
+**17 files** import from `src.tool_implementations`:
+- `src/agent_loop.py`, `src/builtin_actions.py`, `src/tool_index.py`
+- `src/task_scheduler.py`, `src/tool_policy.py`
+- Various tests
+
+### 3.3 Who Depends on `src/agent_loop.py`
+
+**22 files** import from `src.agent_loop`:
+
+- `src/tool_policy.py`, `src/teacher_escalation.py`, `src/bg_monitor.py`
+- `src/task_scheduler.py`
+- Multiple test files
+
+### 3.4 Cross-Layer Import Violations
+
+**`src/` importing from `routes/`** (backwards dependency — domain logic depending on HTTP layer):
+
+```
+src/tool_implementations.py ──→ routes/calendar_routes.py
+src/tool_implementations.py ──→ routes/cookbook_helpers.py
+src/tool_implementations.py ──→ routes/email_helpers.py
+src/tool_implementations.py ──→ routes/email_pollers.py
+src/tool_implementations.py ──→ routes/email_routes.py
+src/tool_implementations.py ──→ routes/model_routes.py
+src/tool_implementations.py ──→ routes/note_routes.py
+src/tool_implementations.py ──→ routes/prefs_routes.py
+```
+
+> These are **runtime imports** (inside function bodies, not at module top), which mitigates circular import risk but indicates fuzzy layer boundaries. Function-level inline imports from the HTTP layer into business logic are a code smell.
+
+**Import counts (top-level)**:
+| Direction | Count | Notes |
+|-----------|-------|-------|
+| `routes/` → `src/` | **374** | Expected: HTTP handlers call domain logic |
+| `routes/` → `core/` | **126** | Expected: handlers access DB models |
+| `src/` → `routes/` | **31** | **Unexpected**: domain logic reaching into HTTP layer (direct grep of import lines referencing `routes/`) |
+| `src/` → `core/` | **106** | Acceptable but could be reduced with a data-access layer |
+
+> **How the metrics in this document are computed** — recompute against current `dev` before treating any count as authoritative (the tree drifts; these numbers are a snapshot, not a live value):
+> - `src/` flat `.py` files: `find src -maxdepth 1 -name '*.py' | wc -l`
+> - `tests/` test files: `find tests -name 'test_*.py' | wc -l`
+> - `core.database` importers: `grep -rlE '(from|import) +core\.database' --include='*.py' . | grep -v core/database.py | wc -l`
+> - `src.agent_loop` importers: `grep -rlE '(from|import) +src\.agent_loop' --include='*.py' . | grep -v src/agent_loop.py | wc -l`
+> - Cross-layer import lines: `grep -rhE '(from|import) +<pkg>' --include='*.py' <dir>/ | wc -l` (e.g. `(from|import) +routes` over `src/`)
+
+---
+
+## 4. Route Ownership Map
+
+Routes can be grouped into logical feature domains. Current flat structure obscures these boundaries:
+
+| Domain | Route Files | Total Lines | Review Complexity |
+|--------|-------------|-------------|-------------------|
+| **Email** | `email_routes.py`, `email_helpers.py`, `email_pollers.py` | 5,936 | HIGH — most complex domain |
+| **Chat / Agent** | `chat_routes.py`, `chat_helpers.py`, `shell_routes.py`, `codex_routes.py`, `skills_routes.py` | 6,365 | HIGH — core interaction surface |
+| **Cookbook** | `cookbook_routes.py`, `cookbook_helpers.py`, `cookbook_output.py` | 4,110 | MEDIUM |
+| **Model / LLM** | `model_routes.py`, `assistant_routes.py`, `copilot_routes.py` | 2,764 | MEDIUM |
+| **Calendar / Contacts** | `calendar_routes.py`, `contacts_routes.py` | 2,336 | MEDIUM |
+| **Documents** | `document_routes.py`, `document_helpers.py` | 1,954 | LOW |
+| **Auth** | `auth_routes.py`, `api_token_routes.py`, `device_flow.py` | 1,171 | LOW |
+| **Tasks** | `task_routes.py` (standalone) | 1,157 | LOW |
+| **Session** | `session_routes.py` (standalone) | 1,287 | LOW |
+| **Gallery** | `gallery_routes.py`, `gallery_helpers.py` | 1,896 | LOW |
+| **Memory** | `memory_routes.py` | — | LOW |
+| **Research** | `research_routes.py` | — | LOW |
+| **MCP** | `mcp_routes.py` | — | LOW |
+| **Notes** | `note_routes.py` | — | LOW |
+| **Other** | `prefs_routes.py`, `upload_routes.py`, `vault_routes.py`, `webhook_routes.py`, `workspace_routes.py`, `search_routes.py`, `history_routes.py`, `hwfit_routes.py`, `preset_routes.py`, `signature_routes.py`, `backup_routes.py`, `cleanup_routes.py`, `diagnostics_routes.py`, `embedding_routes.py`, `emoji_routes.py`, `font_routes.py`, `stt_routes.py`, `tts_routes.py`, `compare_routes.py`, `personal_routes.py`, `editor_draft_routes.py`, `admin_wipe_routes.py`, `chatgpt_subscription_routes.py` | 2,000+ | LOW individual, HIGH cumulative |
+

+
+## 5. Tool Registry & Implementation Boundaries
+
+### 5.1 Current Tool Architecture
+
+| Component | File | Lines | Role |
+|-----------|------|-------|------|
+| Tool schemas | `src/tool_schemas.py` | 1,392 | JSON Schema tool definitions (Duck-TypedDict) |
+| Tool index | `src/tool_index.py` | 542 | RAG-based tool retrieval from ChromaDB |
+| Tool implementations | `src/tool_implementations.py` | 4,032 | 33 `do_*` functions — all tool execution logic |
+| Tool security | `src/tool_security.py` | — | Owner-scoped tool blocking |
+| Tool policy | `src/tool_policy.py` | — | Guide-only directive, plan-mode disabled tools |
+| Tool utils | `src/tool_utils.py` | — | Shared tool helpers |
+
+### 5.2 Tool Implementation Categories
+
+The 33 `do_*` functions in `tool_implementations.py` fall into natural domain groups — the basis for slice 1's split in §6.2:
+
+| Category | `do_*` functions | Count |
+|----------|------------------|-------|
+| **System / config** | `do_manage_skills`, `do_manage_tasks`, `do_manage_endpoints`, `do_manage_mcp`, `do_manage_webhooks`, `do_manage_tokens`, `do_manage_settings`, `do_api_call`, `do_app_api` | 9 |
+| **Cookbook / model serving** | `do_download_model`, `do_serve_model`, `do_list_served_models`, `do_stop_served_model`, `do_tail_serve_output`, `do_list_downloads`, `do_cancel_download`, `do_search_hf_models`, `do_adopt_served_model`, `do_list_cookbook_servers`, `do_list_serve_presets`, `do_serve_preset`, `do_list_cached_models` | 13 |
+| **Notes** | `do_manage_notes` | 1 |
+| **Calendar** | `do_manage_calendar` | 1 |
+| **Search** | `do_search_chats` | 1 |
+| **Research** | `do_manage_research`, `do_trigger_research` | 2 |
+| **Contacts** | `do_resolve_contact`, `do_manage_contact` | 2 |
+| **Vault** | `do_vault_search`, `do_vault_get`, `do_vault_unlock` | 3 |
+| **Image** | `do_edit_image` | 1 |
+| | **Total** | **33** |
+
+> Low-level tools (filesystem, subprocess, web fetch, document parsing) live in `src/agent_tools/`, **not** in `tool_implementations.py` — out of scope for this split.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Risk Assessment & Candidate Slice Ranking
+
+> **Candidate proposals, not a committed plan.** The rankings, package shapes (e.g. `src/pkg/`, `src/domain/`, `src/infra/`, `src/api/`), split ordering, and route-grouping strategy below are **options for maintainer discussion**. Per #4082/#4071, slice ownership and order are settled by maintainers before any follow-up PR. §1–§3 above are the factual current-state inventory.
+
+### 6.1 Risk Scale
+
+| Level | Criteria |
+|-------|----------|
+| **LOW** | File has ≤3 importers AND ≤500 lines, OR is a pure refactor with clear boundaries |
+| **MEDIUM** | File has 4–15 importers OR 500–1,500 lines |
+| **HIGH** | File has 16+ importers OR >2,000 lines, OR has cross-layer import violations |
+
+### 6.2 Ranked Split Candidates
+
+| Priority | Target | Risk | Rationale |
+|----------|--------|------|-----------|
+| **1** | `src/tool_implementations.py` → `src/tools/*.py` | **MEDIUM** | 4,032 lines → ~10 files by tool category. Already has natural boundaries. 17 importers, tracked in #3629. Use `__init__.py` shim to keep existing imports working. |
+| **2** | `routes/` → domain subdirectories (one domain per PR) | **MEDIUM** | 54 flat files. Done **one domain at a time** (e.g. a standalone PR for the email domain, then chat, …), not a broad reorganization — route modules carry helper imports, registration assumptions, and test import paths. |
+| **3** | `src/agent_loop.py` → `src/agent/loop.py` + submodules | **MEDIUM-HIGH** | 2,961 lines, 24 functions. Can extract prompt building, classification, verification, and runaway detection. Tracked in #3266. |
+| **4** | `src/` → `src/pkg/`, `src/domain/`, `src/infra/`, `src/api/` | **MEDIUM** | Structural reorganization. Split flat `src/` into layered packages. Must come after routes and tools are stable. |
+| **5** | `routes/email_*.py` consolidation | **LOW** | Already grouped by filename prefix. Low-risk cleanup within the email domain. |
+| **6** | `core/database.py` → `src/infra/database/models/*.py` | **HIGH** | 28 classes, 102 importers. Highest-risk split. Must be **last** in any sequence. Requires careful import shim strategy. |
+| **7** | Frontend CSS modularization | **MEDIUM** | 36,653 lines. Tracked in #2617. Separate timeline from backend work. |
+| **8** | Frontend JS modularization | **MEDIUM** | 9,776 lines in `document.js`. Introduce ES modules at minimum. |
+
+### 6.3 Candidate First 3 Behavior-Preserving Slices
+
+**Slice 1: Split `tool_implementations.py`** (Lowest-risk high-impact)
+
+- Create `src/tools/` package with one file per tool category
+- Add `src/tools/__init__.py` re-exporting all symbols with current names
+- Update 17 importers to use new paths (can be deferred via shim)
+- Validation: `python -m pytest tests/ -x -q` + manual smoke test of tool execution
+- Reference: #3629
+
+**Slice 2: Group `routes/` by domain** (one domain per PR, not a broad sweep)
+
+Route modules carry helper imports, router registration assumptions, and test import paths, so this must be done **one domain at a time** rather than as a single reorganization PR. Example sequence (each its own PR):
+
+- PR 2a: move the **email** domain (`email_routes.py`, `email_helpers.py`, `email_pollers.py`) → `routes/email/` + shim
+- PR 2b: move the **chat/agent** domain → `routes/chat/` + shim
+- PR 2c: move the **cookbook** domain → `routes/cookbook/` + shim
+- …and so on per domain from §4
+
+Each PR: add `__init__.py` re-exporting old names, update `app.py` router imports, validation `python app.py` starts clean. **No behavior change** — pure file reorganization.
+
+**Slice 3: Extract `agent_loop.py` submodules** (Improve reviewability)
+
+- Move prompt assembly → `src/agent/prompt.py`
+- Move request classification → `src/agent/classifier.py`
+- Move sub-agent verification → `src/agent/verifier.py`
+- Move runaway detection → `src/agent/runaway.py`
+- Move context management → `src/agent/context.py`
+- Keep `src/agent/loop.py` as the main orchestration module
+- Validation: `python -m pytest tests/test_agent_loop.py tests/test_loop_breaker_runaway.py -v`
+
+---
+
+## 7. Safety Guardrails for Follow-Up Work
+
+Per maintainer guidance in #4082 and #4071:
+
+- [ ] **One domain/slice per PR** — never mix multiple reorganizations
+- [ ] **No behavior changes** mixed with file moves — pure reorganization only
+- [ ] **Keep compatibility shims** — `__init__.py` re-exports for all existing import paths
+- [ ] **Add or identify focused tests** before risky splits
+- [ ] **Do not start with `core/database.py`** or broad route movement unless this inventory shows a safe boundary
+- [ ] **Prefer small, reviewable slices** over large restructures
+- [ ] **No packaging/runtime/tooling migration** mixed into file moves
+- [ ] **No frontend framework migration** inside this stabilization lane
+- [ ] **Validate with `python -m compileall`** — every PR must pass CI checks
+- [ ] **Validate with `pytest`** — run the full test suite before opening each PR
+
+---
+
+## 8. Validation Commands
+
+Each follow-up PR should be verifiable with these commands before submission:
+
+```bash
+# Syntax check — must pass with zero errors
+python -m compileall src/ routes/ core/ conf/
+
+# Full test suite — must match baseline pass rate
+python -m pytest tests/ -x -q
+
+# Import shim verification — existing import paths must still work
+python -c "from src.tool_implementations import do_search_chats; print('OK')"
+
+# App startup smoke test (if backend touched)
+timeout 5 python app.py 2>&1 | head -5 || true
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Open Questions
+
+1. Is `#2538` (specs ground truth) the canonical behavior map baseline, and should this inventory be kept in sync with those specs once merged?
+2. Should route grouping follow the domain map proposed here, or is there a different taxonomy preferred by maintainers?
+3. For the `tool_implementations.py` split (#3629), is the tool categorization in §5.2 acceptable, or should it follow a different grouping?
+4. Should compatibility shims (`__init__.py`) be temporary (removed in a follow-up wave) or permanent?
+5. Should an ADR (Architecture Decision Record) document be started to track decisions made during this process?
+
+---
+
+## 10. Future Direction (NOT current state)
+
+The following are **future refactor targets** (candidate directions **pending maintainer agreement**, not committed), recorded here so this inventory does not imply they exist today. None of them are present in the current `dev` tree:
+
+- `main.py` — proposed rename of the `app.py` entrypoint. Today the app boots via `app.py`.
+- `src/agent/` — proposed package to hold `agent_loop.py` submodules (prompt/classifier/verifier/runaway/context). Today `agent_loop.py` is a single flat file in `src/`.
+- `src/infra/`, `src/domain/`, `src/pkg/`, `src/api/` — proposed layered reorganization of the flat `src/` directory (slice 4 in §6).
+
+These become real only when the corresponding slices land.
