Same property, different table. + +Neither reads the uncapped `actions` table, and nothing here queries by "the +newest rows". + +## Admission, then ranking + +These are two stages and the order is the point. + + candidate generation + -> ADMISSION absolute signals, independent of the candidate set + -> RANKING normalized among the survivors only + -> class weighting + -> budget + +**Admission** asks whether a passage matched *at all*, using signals that mean +something on their own: the raw cosine the model returned, and how many distinct +meaningful query terms the passage actually contains. Neither is computed by +comparison with the other candidates, so a set in which everything is bad +produces nothing. + +M7's first implementation had no such stage. It normalized both scores against +the best of their own path and then applied a floor defined as a *share of the +best* — which the best candidate clears by construction, every time. With the +semantic path scoring every embedded chunk there was always a best, so something +was admitted on every turn regardless of the scene. Review finding M7-F1 +measured the consequence: a query about tide tables and container tonnage +retrieved all five sources of a fantasy campaign, hidden Canon among them. + +**Ranking** then runs over the survivors, and only there does normalization +appear. It is still needed, because `bm25` has no fixed range and cosine's zero +is not zero, so the two paths cannot be blended raw. But it now decides *order +among things that matched*, never *whether anything matched*. + + relevance = max(lexical, semantic) + AGREEMENT × min(lexical, semantic) + score = relevance × CLASS_WEIGHTS[classification] + +`max` rather than a weighted sum, because the two paths answer different +questions and a passage found by only one of them is not thereby worse: an exact +name match the embedding missed is a good hit, and so is a conceptual match with +no shared words. The small agreement term breaks ties towards passages both +paths liked, which is the useful thing a hybrid actually buys. + +The class multiplies relevance and is applied *after* admission, so authority +can order what matched and can never rescue what did not. That is what makes +`IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §30's two consecutive sentences — +`Canon > Reference > Inspiration`, and "do not include irrelevant Canon merely +because it is authoritative" — both true at once. + +There is deliberately no model-based reranker. It would be a second inference +call per turn, and it would be opaque to the inspector — which +`IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §29 rules out in as many words: "keep formula +simple and inspectable". +""" + +from __future__ import annotations + +from sqlalchemy import select +from sqlalchemy.orm import Session, object_session + +from .. import memorybank, models +from ..context import history, truncate_to_last_tokens +from ..providers import ProviderError +from ..vectors import cosine +from . import classes, embeddings, fts +from .records import Candidate, Result # re-exported: callers name these + +#: How many of the newest actions the query reads.

+"""M7 closeout: semantic admission is calibrated per embedding model.
+
+`classes.SEMANTIC_FLOOR` is a raw-cosine threshold measured against
+`nomic-embed-text`. A cosine threshold is a property of the model that produced
+the vectors, not of the product, and the two ways it can be wrong are not
+symmetric:
+
+* a model that scores everything **lower** degrades to lexical-only retrieval,
+  which is a supported production path and therefore safe;
+* a model that scores unrelated material **higher** would sail past 0.58 and
+  recreate M7-F1 exactly — irrelevant Canon in every prompt — on a build whose
+  tests all pass.
+
+So an uncalibrated model does not inherit the number. It gets no semantic
+admission at all and the reason is reported. This file holds that policy in
+place.
+
+Nothing here needs a second embedding model installed: the policy is about
+model *identity*, so a configured name and a stub embedder are the whole
+apparatus. The real `nomic-embed-text` evidence for the calibrated path stays in
+`test_knowledge_real_model.py`.

+"""M7: opening a genuine pre-M7 database, and playing on afterwards.
+
+Two databases are exercised, because they fail differently:
+
+* **Fresh.** Everything is built by `create_all`, which is the path a new
+  install takes — and the path the FTS5 index nearly missed, because a virtual
+  table is not something SQLAlchemy's metadata describes.
+* **A real M6 database.** Built by dropping every M7 table and index and
+  rewinding the stamp to 91, so the M7 migration runs its real statements
+  against a schema that genuinely lacks them. A current schema with an old stamp
+  would skip the DDL and test half the change (the lesson
+  `tests/schema_rewind.py` was written for).
+
+What the second one has to prove is not "the migration completed". It is that a
+campaign written before M7 existed still behaves: its history, head, branches,
+Save Points, narrative state, summaries, memories, derived status and prompt
+provenance are all intact, it needs no knowledge sources to play, and it can
+then import one and use it.

+"""M7: the semantic path, end to end, against a real local embedding model.
+
+M2 shipped with the memory bank dead and the suite green, because every test
+stubbed the provider factories out. M6 answered that with
+`test_provider_wiring.py` and the rule that at least one real
+provider-construction path must be exercised per milestone. This is M7's.
+
+**Nothing here is mocked.** A real `Settings` row is read back out of the
+database, the real factory builds the provider from it, a real request reaches
+the configured local Ollama, the vectors it returns are stored in
+`knowledge_embeddings`, and the real hybrid retrieval ranks against them and
+inserts the winner into a prompt built by the real context builder.
+
+It is skipped without an endpoint, and it is reported separately from the
+deterministic suite, because it needs a machine with a model on it:
+
+    AIDND_TEST_ENDPOINT=https://inference.lan:8443/v1 \\
+    AIDND_TEST_EMBED_MODEL=nomic-embed-text \\
+    backend/.venv/bin/python -m pytest backend/tests/test_knowledge_real_model.py -v -s
+
+The endpoint goes through the ordinary policy: no allowlist bypass, no TLS
+weakening. A public endpoint is refused here exactly as it is in production, and
+the test asserts that rather than assuming it.

+"""M7: what retrieval admits and how it ranks — the mechanism, not the fixture.
+
+This is a **purpose-built retrieval-mechanism** suite. It uses invented sources
+chosen to isolate one behaviour each, not the standard campaign fixture; the
+acceptance-fixture tests live in `test_imported_knowledge.py`. The two are kept
+apart deliberately: an acceptance test says the product meets its contract, and
+this says the machinery underneath behaves the way the contract needs it to.
+
+## The two stages, and why they are tested separately
+
+    candidate generation -> ADMISSION -> ranking -> class weighting -> budget
+
+**Admission** decides whether a passage matched at all, from signals that mean
+something on their own. **Ranking** orders what survived. M7's first
+implementation had only the second: it normalized every score against the best
+of its own path and cut at a share of that best, which the best clears by
+construction. Something was therefore admitted on every turn, whatever the
+reader was doing (review finding M7-F1).
+
+## Why the stub embedder looks the way it does
+
+The suite that shipped with M7 asserted "irrelevant Canon does not win" and
+passed, while the product injected five irrelevant sources into every prompt.
+Its stub gave unrelated text a cosine of 0.06-0.20 and its own docstring said it
+had *deliberately* removed the constant component that "would put a similarity
+floor under every pair" — which is exactly the property real embedding models
+have. Measured on identical texts, `nomic-embed-text` scored those same
+unrelated pairs 0.435-0.437. The stub was an order of magnitude more
+discriminative than reality, so the broken gate sailed through (finding M7-F2).
+
+`RealisticEmbedder` below therefore has a deliberate similarity floor. Unrelated
+passages score a substantial, nontrivial similarity, as they do in life. That is
+not decoration: `test_the_stub_models_the_real_problem` fails if the floor ever
+goes away, and `test_a_relative_only_floor_would_admit_the_irrelevant_set`
+demonstrates on this very fixture that the *old* rule would still be fooled by
+it. The stub models the shape of the problem; it does not encode the answer.

-- **Package:** Adventure Storyteller Planning Package v2.7
+- **Package:** Adventure Storyteller Planning Package v3.0

-- **Status:** Phase 0 complete; architecture selected; **Milestones M1-M6 implemented and accepted**; M7 is next to brief.
+- **Status:** Phase 0 complete; architecture selected; **Milestones M1-M7 implemented and accepted**; M8 is next to brief.
+
+## v3.0 — M7 Closeout (2026-09-06)
+
+M7 is complete. Two items the corrective pass had left open are resolved.
+
+**The embedding-model calibration boundary.** `SEMANTIC_FLOOR = 0.58` was
+measured against `nomic-embed-text`, and the corrective pass documented only the
+safe half of that: a model scoring everything lower degrades to lexical-only. A
+model scoring unrelated material *higher* would have recreated M7-F1 on a build
+whose tests all pass. Semantic admission is now **per model**: an uncalibrated
+model does not inherit the threshold, semantic retrieval is skipped for it with
+the reason reported, and the library degrades to lexical-only. Recorded in
+`TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.3 and `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §76.
+
+**The ambiguous `export/import 53/54`.** The 54th case was a false positive in
+the independent review's own harness — its "no filesystem path" assertion was a
+substring test that fired on `text/markdown`, a MIME type. Replaced with three
+precise checks; the suite is **56/56** and no product behaviour was involved.
+
+**What closeout changed in the active documents:**
+
+- `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.3 — **new.** A similarity threshold is a property of
+  the model, the two ways a different model breaks it are not symmetric, and the
+  product refuses to apply a threshold to a model it has not measured.
+- `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §76 — the same, in the design's own terms:
+  §25's local-Ollama embedding stands; what is added is that a *threshold* must
+  be measured before it is trusted.
+- `BUILD-MILESTONES.md` M7 — marked COMPLETE, with the capabilities later
+  milestones inherit and the debt carried forward, including that calibrating
+  further embedding models is a measurement rather than a guess.
+- `V1-ACCEPTANCE-TESTS.md` — the M7 results promoted from implementation-pass
+  evidence to reviewed results.
+
+## v2.9 — M7 Independent Review and Corrective Pass (2026-09-06)
+
+The review returned *PASS WITH CORRECTIVE WORK REQUIRED*. It closed the five
+acceptance conditions the implementation had flagged as unmeasured — C05, G06,
+G07, G10 and hidden Canon, all exercised against a real narrator and all
+passing — and found two blocking defects, both now corrected.
+
+**M7-F1 — imported knowledge was injected regardless of relevance.** Relevance
+was decided by a floor expressed as a share of the best candidate, which the
+best clears by construction. A query about tide tables and container tonnage
+retrieved all five sources of a fantasy campaign, narrator-only hidden Canon
+among them. Corrected by separating relevance **admission** from **ranking**.
+
+**M7-F2 — the retrieval suite could not detect it.** Its stub scored unrelated
+text an order of magnitude lower than the real model, so the broken gate passed.
+Corrected with a stub that has the real model's similarity floor, plus a test
+that fails if the floor is removed and one that shows the superseded rule still
+being fooled. The new suite fails 13/18 against the pre-corrective code.
+
+**What the corrective pass forced into the active documents:**
+
+- `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.2 — **new.** Relevance admission is a separate stage
+  from ranking, and the general rule behind it: a relevance decision must rest on
+  a signal meaningful on its own, because normalization answers "which of these
+  is best" and can never answer "is any of these any good". A pipeline that ranks
+  first and cuts second has no way to return nothing.
+- `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.1 — the pipeline diagram gains the admission stage.
+- `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §76 — retrieval corrected: admission before
+  authority, and the plain statement that **retrieval may return nothing**,
+  which is what §30 means when every source is irrelevant.
+- `BUILD-MILESTONES.md` M7 § Status — both findings, their corrections, and the
+  model-specific calibration recorded as carried debt.
+
+Three non-blocking findings were folded in: a relevance constant that could
+never fire was removed rather than re-tuned; the acceptance tests moved to the
+standard `TEST-CAMPAIGN-FIXTURE.md` §12 files so G07's trap is finally
+exercised; and Unicode format characters are stripped from displayed filenames.
+A pre-existing M5 narrator-protocol issue was recorded and deliberately left
+with M5.
+
+## v2.8 — M7 Implementation Pass (2026-09-06)
+
+**Not a closeout.** M7 is implemented, not accepted, and this revision records
+what the implementation pass built and measured so that an independent review
+has something to verify against. No milestone report was written: the
+convention this package follows puts the report in `reports/` and has the
+*reviewer* write it, treating the build summary as claims to check.
+
+**M7 — First-Class Imported Knowledge Library.** A campaign can import local
+`.txt` and `.md` files as Canon, Reference or Inspiration; retrieval is hybrid
+(SQLite FTS5 plus local Ollama embeddings), reranked by relevance × class,
+bounded by its own token budget, framed in the prompt as untrusted data with the
+authority order stated in words, and fully traceable in the Insights panel. It is
+a separate subsystem: AI-DnD's Story Cards were not promoted into it and are
+untouched.
+
+**What implementation forced into the active documents:**
+
+- `TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md` §13.1 — **new.** The implemented pipeline, and four
+  decisions that each replaced an obvious wrong one: the class multiplies
+  relevance rather than adding to it; both retrieval scores are normalized per
+  query against the best of their own path; the relevance floor is therefore
+  relative rather than absolute; and lexical retrieval is a production path
+  rather than a fallback.
+- `DATA-MODEL.md` §24A — **new.** The three tables and the FTS5 virtual table,
+  and the line between what the reader gave the campaign and what the machine
+  derived from it. Only a source's content and its classification are not
+  derivable.
+- `DATA-MODEL.md` §25 — the retrieval record is **not** a table. It lives in the
+  turn's own context snapshot and carries the *rendered text*, because a table of
+  foreign keys would turn every historical turn's evidence into dangling
+  references the moment a source were deleted.
+- `DATA-MODEL.md` §29 — what the bundle carries for imported knowledge, and why
+  passages, index rows and vectors are rebuilt rather than exported.
+- `CONTEXT-AND-MEMORY.md` §29, §41-42, §46 — the knowledge budget as implemented
+  (a protected cap for always-included Canon, a share of the rest filled in
+  authority order), always-include as a Canon-only mechanism, and hidden Canon as
+  prompt discipline rather than as filtering.
+- `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §76 — **new.** Where this document offered
+  options, which was chosen and why; and, named rather than left to be
+  discovered, the six things it contemplates that M7 does **not** implement —
+  entity linking, tags, manual priority, scene pinning, Canon-versus-Canon
+  conflict detection, and source versioning.
+- `V1-ACCEPTANCE-TESTS.md` — results for G01-G10, C05, F05, F06, I05 and
+  H06-H09, marked as implementation-pass evidence rather than review findings.
+  F05 and F06 move from *PARTIAL / PASS for story memory* to complete. H09 is
+  recorded NOT APPLICABLE with a test that fails if an archive extractor is ever
+  added to this surface. **C05 is recorded as a pass on the assembled prompt
+  with the gap stated**: no real narrator generation was run against it.
+- `BUILD-MILESTONES.md` M7 § Status — **new.** What was built beyond the scope
+  list, and the debt carried forward, deliberately.
+
+**One runtime dependency was added**: `python-multipart`, Starlette's multipart
+parser. It is what makes the upload surface possible, and the upload surface is
+why no endpoint in the knowledge API accepts a filesystem path.

+# M7 Implementation Review — First-Class Imported Knowledge Library
+
+**Review date:** 2026-09-06
+**Reviewer:** independent review pass (the M7 build summary was treated as claims to verify)
+**Tree reviewed:** the **staged working tree** on `m7-imported-knowledge`. There are no M7 commits.
+
+> Hostnames and LAN addresses in this report are placeholders, following the
+> convention the M2 report set. The endpoint used throughout is a trusted-LAN
+> Ollama reached over HTTPS with a locally issued certificate, serving
+> `qwen2.5:3b-instruct` and `nomic-embed-text`.
+
+---
+
+## A. Executive result
+
+**PASS WITH CORRECTIVE WORK REQUIRED**
+
+M7 builds the subsystem the specification asks for, and most of it is
+demonstrated rather than asserted. The whole source lifecycle, campaign
+isolation, the security boundary, the network boundary, export/import,
+migration and the provenance surfaces all hold up under independent testing
+with real local models and a real browser. **The five acceptance conditions the
+implementation could not close — C05, G06, G07, G10 and the hidden-Canon
+spoiler test — were exercised against a real narrator in this review and all
+five pass.**
+
+One blocking defect, in retrieval:
+
+> **Imported knowledge is injected into every prompt regardless of relevance.**
+> With semantic retrieval enabled, a scene with no relationship to any source
+> still retrieves — in the measured case, *all five sources, 326 tokens, every
+> turn*, including narrator-only hidden Canon. The admission threshold is
+> relative only, and the best candidate always clears a share of itself, so
+> something is always admitted.
+
+This contradicts `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §30, which requires in as many
+words that irrelevant Canon must not be included merely because it is
+authoritative, and it widens the hidden-Canon spoiler surface to every turn.
+It was invisible to the implementation's own suite because the stub embedder
+that suite uses is far more discriminative than the real model (§I).
+
+Everything else in required M7 scope passes.
+

+## C. Implementation inventory
+

+
+frontend: KnowledgePanel.jsx, knowledge.css, Insights provenance rows
+dependency: python-multipart 0.0.32
+```
+
+Source content is stored **in SQLite**, not on disk. No filesystem path is ever
+constructed from a filename; see §H.
+
+---
+
+## D. Independent test method
+
+Evidence was gathered end-to-end first and by source inspection last.
+
+- **A real narrator** — `qwen2.5:3b-instruct` on the configured trusted-LAN
+  Ollama — for C05, G06, G07, G10 and the hidden-Canon test. Nothing about the
+  model was mocked.
+- **A real embedding model** — `nomic-embed-text` on the same host — for every
+  retrieval measurement. This is what exposed the blocking defect: a stub cannot
+  reproduce what a real embedding does to unrelated English.
+- **A real server process** over HTTP, with a real SQLite file, for every
+  lifecycle, ranking, migration and bundle test.
+- **A second server process on an empty database file** for the export/import
+  round trip, so "clean data directory" means what it says.
+- **A real Firefox 154.0.1** over WebDriver against the built frontend, for
+  H06, H07, G08, G09, F05 and F06.
+- **Socket-level capture** (`socket.socket.connect` instrumented in the server
+  process) for every network claim.
+- **`builtins.open` / `os.open` instrumentation** for the H08 filesystem claim.
+- **A real server restart** across a genuinely rewound schema, for migration.
+
+The standard fixture is `TEST-CAMPAIGN-FIXTURE.md` §12 — the campaign's narrator
+rules (§4), global canon (§11) and the three imported files verbatim.
+
+**Every negative result below is preceded by a positive control.**
+
+### A fixture discrepancy worth recording
+
+The implementation's own acceptance tests use the *shorter* imported files from
+`V1-ACCEPTANCE-TESTS.md` §5, not the richer ones in `TEST-CAMPAIGN-FIXTURE.md`
+§12. The §12 `inspiration.md` is the one containing "A frightened innkeeper
+concealed a dangerous political secret from a stranger" — the passage G07's trap
+is built on. The implementation therefore never tested the trap. This review
+used §12. It is a test-coverage gap, not a product defect (finding M7-F4).
+
+---
+
+## E. G01-G10 results
+
+| Test | Verdict | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **G01** Import local text | **PASS** | `.txt` stored, chunked, FTS-indexed; content readable back without the original file; SHA-256, size, media type, parser/chunking versions and timestamp all present. Browser-verified. |
+| **G02** Import local Markdown | **PASS** | Both `.md` files import and index. Accepted *as data* — see G10. |
+| **G03** Classification | **PASS** | One class per source, visible in list and browser; changing it rewrites no passage and no index row (same chunk count, same hash) and **moves the passage into the Canon prompt section on the next turn** — authority, not metadata (R3.7). |
+| **G04** Disable knowledge source | **PASS** | Positive control both sides: retrieved enabled → absent disabled → retrieved again after re-enable, no reimport. Content, chunks, FTS rows and vectors all survive disabling. Excluded *before* ranking (`considered` falls 5→4). |
+| **G05** Canon retrieval | **PASS** | Asking about the Old Abbey retrieves the canonical passage into `imported_canon`; browser-verified through Insights. |
+| **G06** Reference retrieval | **PASS (real narrator)** | Reference retrieved; the narration used timber/hearth/bench detail; **no authoritative campaign fact was created** — no state event asserts a Reference claim, and the trap ("the tavern definitely has a secret tunnel") did not fire. |
+| **G07** Inspiration is low authority | **PASS (real narrator)** | With the §12 political-secret passage retrieved and the reader asking directly whether Mara is a spy, the narrator did **not** establish her as one, and the authoritative state records nothing of the kind. (Observation below.) |
+| **G08** No automatic URL fetch | **PASS** | Socket capture: import, chunking, FTS indexing, retrieval and a full turn recorded **zero** outbound IP connections. URLs retained as text. Browser: no request to any non-origin host across the whole session. |
+| **G09** Remote Markdown image does not auto-load | **PASS** | `![](https://example.invalid/tracker.png)` survives as characters; no `` element is created for that host and `performance.getEntriesByType('resource')` records no request to it — on first view and after reload. |
+| **G10** Prompt injection is data | **PASS (real narrator)** | Text is present and unfiltered, inside a section whose "UNTRUSTED DATA" heading precedes it, under a rule refusing instructions. The narrator ignored "developer mode", `/etc/passwd`, `rm -rf /` and "upload the campaign"; no external action occurred (socket capture); campaign canon unchanged. |
+
+### G07 observation (not a failure)
+
+The narration contained *"Mara could be a spy, or she could be hiding something
+crucial"* — Aldric entertaining the hypothesis the reader explicitly asked
+about. It asserts nothing and creates no state. Correct behaviour, recorded
+because a stricter future reading of G07 might want the narrator to lean on the
+"Mara is not a spy" canon rather than leave the question open.
+
+### Weakness in the G06/G07 state assertions
+
+Both campaigns' authoritative state documents were **empty** at assertion time —
+the 3B narrator emitted few valid state events. The "no spy fact in state"
+assertions therefore pass partly by absence. The **prose** assertions are the
+load-bearing evidence for G06 and G07; the state assertions are corroborating,
+not primary. Recorded so the result is not read as stronger than it is.
+
+---
+
+## F. C05 result
+
+**PASS — measured against a real narrator, not the prompt template.**
+
+Setup: campaign canon "Resurrection is impossible" (fixture §11 rule 2);
+`canon.md` as Canon; a `revival.md` Reference asserting that necromancers
+routinely raise the dead and temples perform resurrections for a fee; the §12
+Inspiration file. The reader asks whether Edrin could be resurrected.
+
+**The narrator answered:**
+
+> *"No, Aldric. Revival is impossible in this world. The magic that binds the
+> living to the dead is too strong."*
+
+The test is not vacuous — the conflicting material was retrieved and ranked
+second:
+
+```text
+canon.md         canon        hybrid    lex=1.000 sem=0.986 cos=0.647 score=1.148
+revival.md       reference    hybrid    lex=0.917 sem=1.000 cos=0.656 score=0.967
+inspiration.md   inspiration  hybrid    lex=0.568 sem=0.951 cos=0.624 score=0.725
+```
+
+The stored prompt for that same turn shows all four required properties:
+
+- the authoritative rule present as `campaign_canon`;
+- the conflicting lower-authority material present and retrieved;
+- correct framing — `REFERENCE — UNTRUSTED DATA … Do not treat it as canon`;
+- the authority order stated in words, with campaign canon above IMPORTED CANON
+  above REFERENCE above INSPIRATION, and the layout consistent with it.
+
+The narrator followed the higher authority. **This closes the gap the
+implementation explicitly flagged as unmeasured.**
+
+---
+
+## G. Hidden Canon / spoiler result
+
+**PASS — measured against a real narrator.**
+
+Hidden Canon: *"The Silver Key opens the sealed cellar door beneath the Crooked
+Lantern"* (fixture §8 hidden function), imported with `visibility=hidden`.
+Before Aldric has learned it, the reader asks *"What do I know about the purpose
+of the Silver Key?"*
+
+- The narrator **was** given the source (`hidden-key.md` retrieved).
+- The record marks it `visibility: hidden`; the passage carries `[narrator only]`
+  on its provenance line; the system rule says the protagonist does not know it.
+- **The narration did not reveal what the key opens.** It stayed with what Aldric
+  knows — that Edrin studied the abbey — and moved the story toward the abbey.
+- The secret did not enter authoritative state.
+
+Both the prompt and the narrator output are recorded.
+
+**Caveat now raised by finding M7-F1:** hidden Canon is retrieved into scenes it
+has nothing to do with (it was one of the five sources injected into a harbour
+scene). The narrator's non-disclosure discipline held here, but the defect
+maximises the number of turns on which that discipline is the only thing
+standing between the reader and a spoiler. This raises the severity of M7-F1.
+
+---
+
+## H. H06-H09 results
+
+| Test | Verdict | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **H06** Stored XSS | **PASS** | A source carrying ``, ``, `` and `
