M7: a first-class imported knowledge library

Browse Source 
A campaign can import local .txt and .md files as Canon, Reference or
Inspiration, and the class is load-bearing rather than a label: it decides the
words a passage is framed with in the prompt, the weight it carries when
passages are ranked, and which budget it competes in when the context is tight.

This is a separate subsystem, which is the Phase 0B decision
(IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md §73). Story Cards do not carry classification,
provenance, content identity, chunking, an index or a lifecycle, and they were
not promoted into something that does. Nothing here reads or writes one.

The subsystem, in backend/app/knowledge/:

  classes      the three classes, their weights, and the prompt framing
  chunking     deterministic, heading-aware, 60-800 tokens, no overlap
  fts          SQLite FTS5 with porter stemming; scoped and bounded in SQL
  importer     validate, hash, store, chunk, index — in one transaction
  embeddings   local Ollama vectors through the shared provider
  retrieval    query construction, hybrid merge, rerank
  inject       the budgeted cut and the rendered prompt sections

Relevance admission is a separate stage from ranking, and that separation is
the milestone's most expensive lesson. An independent review found the first
implementation deciding relevance with a floor expressed as a share of the best
candidate — which the best clears by construction — so a passage was admitted on
every turn regardless of the scene. A query about tide tables and container
tonnage retrieved all five sources of a fantasy campaign, narrator-only hidden
Canon among them.

So the pipeline is now:

  candidate generation -> admission -> ranking -> class weighting -> budget

Admission reads raw, candidate-set-independent signals: the cosine the model
returned, and how many distinct meaningful query terms a passage contains.
Ranking reads normalized ones, because bm25 has no fixed range and cosine's zero
is not zero. Normalization decides order among things that matched; it can never
decide whether anything matched. Authority is applied after admission, so a
class orders what matched and never rescues what did not.

Retrieval may therefore return nothing, and on a scene unrelated to the library
it does.

The other decisions that each replaced an obvious wrong one:

- The class multiplies relevance rather than adding to it. An additive bonus
  satisfies "Canon outranks Reference" and makes "do not include irrelevant
  Canon" impossible, because a large enough constant wins on its own.
- The semantic floor is measured, not guessed: 113 production-path pairs against
  nomic-embed-text put targeted matches at 0.55-0.85 and off-topic pairs at
  0.36-0.56, and 0.58 sits between them. Because it is a property of that model
  and not of cosine similarity, it is keyed to the model rather than applied to
  whatever is configured: an embedding model with no measured calibration in
  this build does not borrow the number. Semantic admission is skipped, the
  campaign retrieves lexically, and the reason is stated in the knowledge status
  and in the turn's provenance. Degrading to lexical keeps the library usable;
  lending the threshold to an unmeasured model is how the admitted-everything
  defect would return.
- One lexical term is not evidence. Two distinct meaningful terms, or one that
  is neither a standing campaign entity nor a negligible share of the query.
  The stop list grew from 42 words to 261, all function words — no subject
  matter, because a stop list that removes subject matter stops finding "The
  Silver Key".
- Lexical retrieval is a production path, not a fallback. It finds the proper
  nouns and invented terms a setting bible is made of, and the library is fully
  usable with no embedding model configured.

Safety is structural rather than filtered. Imported text reaches the prompt
whole, inside a section that says what it is, under a rule stating the authority
order in words and refusing every instruction inside it. No endpoint accepts a
filesystem path, so H08 has no mechanism to escape from. Nothing renders
imported content as HTML, so a script tag is five visible characters and a
remote image is never fetched. Import, chunking, indexing, retrieval and a turn
open no socket at all; only embeddings do, through the endpoint allowlist the
memory bank already uses.

Provenance is the rendered text, not a foreign key: deleting a source cannot
turn a historical turn's evidence into dangling ids.

Schema: knowledge_sources, knowledge_chunks, knowledge_embeddings, and an FTS5
virtual table attached to knowledge_chunks as a DDL hook so it is created and
dropped with the table it indexes. Migration 92. A pre-M7 database opens
unchanged and needs no sources to play.

Bundle: the source content and the reader's judgements about it travel; the
passages, index rows and vectors are rebuilt on import, so a restored campaign
is searchable immediately without a reindex step.

One runtime dependency: python-multipart, Starlette's multipart parser. It is
what makes the upload surface possible, and the upload surface is why no
pathname is ever accepted.

The test doubles were the reason the defect shipped, so they were corrected too.
The retrieval stub scored unrelated text at 0.06-0.20 where the real model
scores it at 0.43-0.44, and its docstring said it had deliberately removed the
constant component that "would put a similarity floor under every pair" — which
is exactly the property real models have. The stub now has that floor, one test
fails if it is ever removed, and another reproduces the superseded rule and
asserts it is still fooled by the same fixture. Run against the pre-corrective
implementation, the new suite fails 13 of 18.

Tests: 939 passed, 14 skipped (836/7 at M6). 110 new across seven files, one of
which mocks nothing between itself and Ollama and re-measures the similarity
separation on every run. 43/43 checks in a real Firefox, reproduced.
Docker build clean.

Four other defects found by review or by the browser run were fixed here rather
than carried: an unreachable relevance constant that appeared to enforce
something and did not; acceptance tests using the wrong fixture files, so G07's
trap was never exercised; a bidirectional override surviving into displayed
filenames; and, from the implementation pass, the Insights panel showing M5's
two state sections as raw keys and the source inspector refetching on every
keystroke.

M7 was independently reviewed, which returned PASS WITH CORRECTIVE WORK
REQUIRED. Both blocking findings are closed, and closeout resolved the
embedding-model calibration boundary the corrective pass had left as debt.
planning/reports/M7-IMPLEMENTATION-REPORT.md carries the review, the corrective
closeout and the closeout verification in sequence, none overwriting another.

"""M7: turning an imported file into retrievable passages, deterministically.
Chunking is derived data, and the whole subsystem leans on that being true: an
export carries the source text alone, an import rebuilds the passages, and
"reindex" is "throw the chunks away and run this again". None of that is safe
unless the same bytes always produce the same passages, in the same order, with
the same identities. So this module is pure, takes no clock and no randomness,
and every decision it makes is a function of the text.
## What it produces
A passage carries the Markdown heading trail above it. That is not decoration:
"Old Abbey > The Crypt" is most of what tells a narrator — and a lexical index —
what a paragraph is about, and a heading is the one piece of structure a plain
paragraph split throws away.
## Sizing
`IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §16 sets the initial target at roughly 300-800
tokens, and the tokenizer here is the one the context builder budgets with, so
the numbers below mean the same thing at both ends. Paragraphs under one heading
are packed together until adding the next would cross `TARGET_MAX`; a paragraph
that alone exceeds `TARGET_MAX` is split on sentence boundaries. Two failure
modes are guarded explicitly, because `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §15 names
both of them as what chunking has to avoid:
* **No fragments.** A heading with one short line under it would otherwise
become a chunk of nine tokens, costing an index row and a rerank slot to carry
almost nothing — and a reference document is mostly such headings. So a
heading boundary only *closes* a passage once the passage has reached
`MIN_TOKENS`. Below that the packing runs straight through the boundary and
writes every heading it crosses — including the one the passage opened under —
into the text as it goes, so a run of short sections becomes one passage that
still says which section each part came from. The passage's own `heading_path`
becomes the deepest trail all its parts share, which for unrelated siblings is
nothing; the headings themselves are never lost, only moved inside.
* **No giants.** A 4,000-token section does not become one chunk merely because
its author wrote no second heading. `TARGET_MAX` is a ceiling on the packing
loop and `_split_long` is the escape hatch beneath it.
## Overlap
There is none, and that is a decision rather than an omission. §15 permits
"limited overlap"; §16 calls it optional. Overlap buys continuity across a
boundary and costs the same text twice in a bounded budget — and this build has
a redundancy suppressor sitting downstream whose job is to notice two passages
saying the same thing, which is exactly what overlap manufactures. The heading
path gives each passage its context without duplicating any of it. If retrieval
quality ever argues for overlap, `CHUNKING_VERSION` is how the change is rolled
out: bump it, and every source is reprocessed and re-embedded on reindex.

#
# **Relevance admission is a separate stage from ranking, and this is the
# lesson M7 cost the most to learn.** The original implementation had only a
# relative floor — a passage had to score within a share of the best passage
# the query found — and that is structurally incapable of rejecting anything,
# because the best candidate always scores a share of itself. With the semantic
# path scoring every embedded chunk, *something* was admitted on every turn
# whatever the reader was doing (review finding M7-F1).
#
# So admission now runs first, on signals that mean something on their own:
#
# candidate generation
# -> admission absolute, per path, candidate-set-independent
# -> ranking normalized among the survivors only
# -> class weighting
# -> budget
#
# A candidate needs real evidence from at least one path. Authority is applied
# after that, and never rescues a passage that had none: `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-
# DESIGN.md` §30 asks for `Canon > Reference > Inspiration` *and* "do not
# include irrelevant Canon merely because it is authoritative", and those two
# sentences are only compatible if relevance is decided before the class is
# consulted.
#: Raw cosine at or above which the semantic path has found something.
#:
#: Absolute, because a normalized score cannot express "no match" — normalizing
#: is precisely what makes the best of a bad set look perfect. This is the
#: similarity the model returned, compared against nothing else.
#:
#: **Measured through the production path, not guessed.** The passages are
#: embedded as `fts.index_line(heading, text)` and the query is the assembled
#: `retrieval.query_terms` text, because both differ from the bare strings and
#: both move the numbers. 113 (query, passage) pairs against
#: `nomic-embed-text`:
#:
#: targeted n= 13 min 0.5526 p10 0.6090 median 0.7231 max 0.8474
#: the one source a scene is actually about
#: off-topic n=100 min 0.3577 median 0.4591 p95 0.5339 max 0.5578
#: 20 scenes with no connection to the campaign at all
#: (harbour, surgery, compiler, fugue, sourdough, kiln …)
#:
#: The two populations very nearly touch: 0.5578 against 0.5526. 0.58 sits in
#: the gap with about 0.022 of margin on each side — above every one of the 100
#: off-topic pairs, and below the weakest targeted match this build must keep
#: (0.6090, "could Edrin be resurrected" against the necromancy passage, which
#: C05 depends on).
#:
#: The single targeted pair below the floor is instructive rather than a loss:
#: "the broken circle cut into the keystone above the crypt stair" scores 0.5526
#: against the Canon that describes exactly that, because the wording is so
#: close that little is left for the embedding to add — and it matches four
#: lexical terms, so the lexical path admits it. That is the hybrid doing its
#: job, and it is why neither path needs to be right on its own.
#:
#: **This value is a property of the embedding model, not of the product.** A
#: different model has a different scale, exactly as
#: `memorybank.REDUNDANT_SIMILARITY` records for its own threshold. If a model
#: scored everything below this, semantic retrieval would return nothing and the
#: library would degrade to lexical-only — a supported production path, so the
#: failure is safe rather than silent. `tests/test_knowledge_real_model.py`
#: re-measures both populations and fails if the separation collapses.
SEMANTIC_FLOOR = 0.58
#: Which embedding models this build has actually calibrated, and to what.
#:
#: **A cosine threshold is a property of the model that produced the vectors.**
#: `SEMANTIC_FLOOR` was measured against `nomic-embed-text` and means nothing
#: for a model with a different similarity scale. The safe direction is only
#: half-safe on its own: a model that scores everything *lower* degrades to
#: lexical-only, which is a supported production path — but a model that scores
#: unrelated material *higher* would sail past 0.58 and recreate M7-F1 exactly,
#: 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. Retrieval stays lexical, which
#: is a first-class path rather than a fallback, so story play is unaffected.
#:
#: Adding a model here is a measurement, not a guess: run
#: `tests/test_knowledge_real_model.py` against it and check that the targeted
#: and off-topic populations separate, exactly as §CC.2 of
#: `planning/reports/M7-IMPLEMENTATION-REPORT.md` records for this entry.
#:

#: build of the same model and does not change its similarity scale.

#: every query. Two independent terms is a much harder accident.
LEXICAL_MIN_TERMS = 2
#: ...with one exception, or the rule would break single-term retrieval. A
#: passage matching exactly one term is still admitted when that term is
#: **distinctive**, which takes two things.
#:
#: First, it must not be the name of a standing entity — the protagonist, the
#: cast, the places the story has established. Those are in the retrieval query
#: on *every* turn by construction, because the query is built partly from the
#: authoritative state, and a term that is always present cannot be evidence
#: about the present scene. This is deliberately **not** "ignore proper nouns":
#: `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §24 and §33 make names among the most valuable
#: lexical signals there are, and a standing entity still counts the moment a
#: second term matches alongside it.
#:
#: Second, it must account for a real share of what was asked. One word out of a
#: nine-word scene is 11% of the query and is not evidence however distinctive
#: the word is; one word out of three is a third of everything the reader gave
#: us. The share test is what makes the rule hold on a young campaign whose
#: authoritative state is still empty — exactly the case the first test cannot
#: see, and exactly where the review found `hidden-key.md` admitted into a
#: harbour scene on the single word "Aldric".
#:
#: Both conditions are needed. The share test alone would admit a lone "Aldric"
#: from a three-word query; the entity test alone admitted it from a nine-word
#: one, which is what was measured before this correction.

# ran. Where it disagrees with the current authoritative state, the state
# is right — which is C05's second half and §44's north gate.

The semantic half of retrieval. It uses the **existing** provider — the same

where the endpoint allowlist is re-checked before every request, where the

## Failure is normal and must be visible
Ollama is not running; the embedding model is not pulled; the LAN host is
asleep. None of these may cost the reader their import. So:
the source stays — content and classification are
not derived from anything
lexical retrieval keeps working — FTS5 is local SQLite and never
touched the network
the failure is recorded on the source — `embed_state`, `embed_detail`
and on the campaign — `derived_status`, kind "knowledge"
a retry fixes it — the next turn, or Reindex
The campaign-level record reuses M6's `derived.py` rather than inventing a

"""M7: the SQLite FTS5 lexical index over imported passages.
Lexical retrieval is a **supported production path**, not a fallback for when
the embeddings are broken. It is the half that finds `Old Abbey`,
`broken-circle` and `Westhaven` — proper nouns and invented terms, which is most
of what a setting bible is made of and precisely what an embedding trained on
ordinary English is worst at. `IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §24 chooses FTS5
for being transparent, fast and deterministic, and §23 requires it to keep
working when the semantic side does not.
## The table
CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE knowledge_fts USING fts5(text, tokenize='porter unicode61')
One column, and `rowid` is the chunk's primary key. Everything else — which
campaign, which source, whether that source is enabled — is on
`knowledge_chunks` and `knowledge_sources`, and the search below joins to them.
That is deliberate: the scope rules are then enforced by the same rows the rest
of the application reads, rather than by a copy inside the index that could
drift out of step with them.
`text` is the heading trail and the body together. A heading is a strong signal
and often the only place a term appears — "Old Abbey" is a heading in the
standard fixture, not a sentence in it — so indexing the body alone would miss
the exact query the acceptance test asks.
A virtual table is not something `Base.metadata.create_all` can build, so this
module owns its DDL and `migrations.bootstrap` calls `ensure`.
## Why not `content=` external-content mode
External content would save storing the passage text twice. It also makes every
delete a three-way ceremony (`INSERT INTO t(t, rowid, text) VALUES('delete',...)`)
that must be handed the *old* text, and a mismatch corrupts the index silently
rather than raising. Sources here are capped at a megabyte and a campaign holds
a handful, so the duplicate text is worth an index whose delete is `DELETE`.

"""M7: accepting a local file into a campaign's knowledge library.
One function does the whole job — validate, hash, store, chunk, index — and it
does it inside one transaction, because the alternative is the state
`IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §57 forbids: a source presented as usable while
only half its passages exist.
## The transactional boundary
validate -> no row is written at all; the caller gets a 4xx and the
reader's file is untouched
build -> source row, every chunk row, every FTS row, and
index_state='ready' all commit together, or none of them do
`index_state` is the belt to that braces. Retrieval reads only sources marked
`ready`, so even a hypothetical partial commit could not be retrieved from — it
would be a stored source that never answers a query, which is inert rather than
wrong. A failure after validation leaves `failed` with the reason on the row.
Embeddings are deliberately *outside* that boundary. They need a network call to
Ollama, and a knowledge library that cannot be imported while the inference host
is down would be a worse product than one whose semantic index lags. So the
import commits lexically complete and the vectors are filled in afterwards, by
`embeddings.py`, at import time and again after any later turn.
## Path safety
There is none to get wrong, and that is the design. The only import surface is
an HTTP upload: the router takes `UploadFile`, and this module takes bytes and a
filename *string*. No caller anywhere accepts a server-side pathname, so there
is no path to canonicalize, no root to compare against, and no symlink to
resolve. `H08` is satisfied by the absence of the mechanism rather than by a
check that could later be bypassed — and `safe_filename` below still strips
every separator and traversal segment, because the name is displayed and stored
and a `../../etc/passwd` in a title is at best confusing.

"""M7: fitting retrieved knowledge into the prompt, and saying what it cost.
`retrieval.py` decides which passages are worth offering. This module decides
how many of them the prompt can actually afford, renders them with the framing
their class carries, and produces the provenance record the Insights panel and
the acceptance tests read.
It is pure. It takes a `retrieval.Result`, a budget and a token counter, and
returns text — no database, no session, no clock. That is what lets
`context/builder.py` import it without the import cycle a fuller dependency
would create, and it is why the whole budget arithmetic is testable without a
campaign.
## The pressure rules
`CONTEXT-AND-MEMORY.md` §29-31 and §37-40 of the design ask for four different
behaviours under pressure, and they are four different mechanisms here:
always-included Canon protected. Counted with the system block, before
any history is chosen. If it cannot fit alongside
the other protected sections and the reply reserve,
the turn fails with `ContextOverflow` rather than
sending a prompt known to overflow.
retrieved Canon bounded, and first in line for the retrieved budget.
Reference bounded, and capped at a share of it, so Reference
can never crowd out Canon.
Inspiration capped smallest, filled last, dropped first.
Every one of those is spent out of `KNOWLEDGE_SHARE` of what is left after the
protected context and the reply reserve are subtracted, so none of it can reach
the current state, the reader's input, the narrator rules or the output reserve.
Whatever is not spent returns to the story history rather than being lost.
## Rendering
Each passage arrives labelled with the file it came from, its heading trail and
its index, because that label is the provenance the reader inspects and it is
also what lets a narrator say where something came from. Hidden passages carry
`[narrator only]` on that same line — in the passage, not only in a preamble at
the top of the section, because a passage is read where it sits.

"""M7: choosing which imported passages a narrator turn should be shown.

│ ├─▶ merge ─▶ dedupe ─▶
└──▶ semantic candidates ─┘
(when an embedding model is configured)
─▶ authority × relevance rerank ─▶ ranked candidates ─▶ inject.py
The cut against the token budget is **not** here. It is in `inject.py`, which is
the only module that knows what the context builder has left. This module's job
ends at a ranked, deduplicated, campaign-scoped list with every score on it, so
that "why did that passage win?" is answerable from the record rather than
reconstructed.
## The query is not the user's sentence
`IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §27 and `CONTEXT-AND-MEMORY.md` §40 both say so,
for the same reason: "I open the door" retrieves nothing, and the material that would help is
about the room the door is in. So the query is assembled from what the
application already knows is active — the recent story, the current scene and
location, the entities present, the open threads.
Two constraints on where those terms may come from, and they are the same
constraint twice:
* The story terms come from `context.history.tail`, which reads through the
**head-capped lineage clause**. An Undo followed by a divergence leaves the
abandoned turns in the database, and they must not reach this query — a
retrieval influenced by a story the reader walked away from is the M6 leak
wearing different clothes.
* The state terms come from `adventure.narrative_state`, which head movement
repoints at the position being read. 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".

A first-class record rather than a Story Card. Phase 0B found Story Cards
could not carry what an imported-knowledge system needs — classification,
provenance, a content identity, a lifecycle, chunking, or an index — and
`IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §73 settles that they are not the production
store. Nothing here writes a Story Card and nothing reads one.
Two things about a source are **not** derivable and must survive anything:
the accepted content and its classification. Everything else here is either
metadata about where it came from or a description of derived work that can
be rebuilt (`chunks`, the FTS rows, `KnowledgeEmbedding`).
## Why the content is in the column
`IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §11 requires the campaign to stop depending
on the original file the moment the import succeeds. Two designs satisfy
that: copy the bytes into an application-owned directory with the database
as metadata authority, or store the text here. This build stores the text.
It is the simpler of the two by some distance — one transaction covers the
source, its chunks and its index, so a failed import cannot leave a file
behind with no row or a row with no file; export carries the content with no
second archive format; and there is no directory whose contents can drift
away from the rows describing them. Sources are capped at
`knowledge.MAX_SOURCE_BYTES`, so the column stays small enough for that to
be the right trade.
`original_filename` is metadata and nothing else. **It is never used as a
path.** The import surface is an HTTP upload, so no backend pathname is ever
accepted in the first place (H08); see `knowledge/importer.py`.

# down a schema — a fresh install, an existing database gaining the M7 tables,

"""M7: the imported knowledge library's HTTP surface.
Every route here is scoped to one campaign, twice. `current_adventure` resolves
`{adventure_id}` to an adventure the caller owns or 404s; `_source_or_404` then
requires the source to belong to *that* adventure. A source id from another
campaign is a 404 whichever campaign asks, so guessing ids gets nowhere and
nothing depends on the browser filtering anything
(`IMPORTED-KNOWLEDGE-DESIGN.md` §66).
## The upload takes a file, never a path
`POST .../knowledge` accepts `multipart/form-data` and reads `UploadFile`. There
is no endpoint anywhere that takes a server-side pathname, so H08's traversal
has nothing to traverse: no path is resolved, no root is compared against, no
symlink is followed, because none of those operations exists on this surface.
The filename that arrives is metadata and is cleaned before it is stored.
## Imported text is inert on the way out as well as on the way in
Every response here is JSON, served by FastAPI with `application/json`, and the
browser puts source text into a `<pre>` as a text node. Nothing renders imported
Markdown as HTML, so a `<script>` in a source is a string in a text node and
`javascript:` never becomes an href (H06, H07). `SECURITY-THREAT-MODEL.md` §14
names that the safer default — "render Markdown as sanitized presentation text
only" — and this goes one step further by rendering no Markdown at all: a
Markdown renderer would be attack surface bought for appearance, and appearance
is M8's.
