JesseMarkowitzandClaude Opus 5 62a997f364 M4: close out Save Points, with browser verification
Closes M4. The review's three findings are fixed, the durability rule the
specification always implied is now enforced, and M3's and M4's browser
behaviour has been verified in a real browser for the first time.

B-1 -- the Save Point list was an N+1 that loaded whole Action rows,
narration included, to answer "does a row exist here". It is now one bulk
two-column coordinate query plus one lineage: 53 SELECTs for 25 Save Points
became 5, and the count no longer grows with the list. The clause is an OR
of exact (branch, depth) pairs rather than two IN lists, because the cross
product would report a Save Point resolved on the strength of another one's
depth existing on this one's branch. A test builds exactly that trap.

B-2 -- reclassified during closeout from "missing warning" to a behaviour
defect, and fixed as one. STORY-BRANCH-SEMANTICS §19 says a named checkpoint
remains until explicitly deleted, and §28 already required future cleanup to
retain checkpoint-referenced paths; a cascade that silently removed Save
Points with a branch violated both, and a warning would only have documented
the violation. A branch a Save Point names can no longer be deleted. The
request is refused with the offending Save Points named, the user deletes
them explicitly -- which deletes no story -- and the branch then goes. The
scope is the subtree, because deleting a branch takes its descendants. Both
delete controls disable and explain. Recorded as a new §19.1; models.py,
TECHNICAL-DESIGN §8.8 and DATA-MODEL §8 had all recorded the cascade as the
rule and now record the refusal.

An earlier pass in this same closeout had kept the cascade and added a
warning. That was the wrong fix and its tests were replaced rather than left
standing, since they pinned the defect.

B-3 -- the D11/L03 automation never left one process, so it could not
distinguish durable state from a live Python object. It now spawns real
server processes, kills the first, and reads the campaign back with the
second.

C-5 -- creating a Save Point takes the campaign's turn lock. "Save where I
am" has to name one committed position, and the head is what a turn in
flight is about to move. Rename and Delete deliberately do not take it.

The architecture is untouched: a Save Point is still name + note +
(branch, depth), and restore is still coordinate -> head.move_to_node ->
head.move_to -> attempts.restore_state. No second restore path, no state
copied into a checkpoint, no fork on restore.

Browser verification -- the first in this project, and it covers both
milestones. Firefox 154.0.1 through geckodriver over the W3C WebDriver
protocol, driving the rendered DOM: 47/47 checks, twice, on independent
databases, no console errors. M3's Undo/Redo enable states, transcript
movement, Retry and the take pager, divergence retiring Redo; M4's whole
Save Point lifecycle, both confirmations, and the new branch-delete refusal
including its recovery. No dependency was added: the WebDriver client is
stdlib HTTP.

No application defect was found by the browser. Four failures occurred, all
in the harness -- a wrong SPA route, a wait comparing transcript length when
the empty-story placeholder is longer than the first turn, a fixture
deleting the branch it was reading, and a reload assertion that sampled
once instead of waiting. The last was checked against the app before being
called a harness bug.

Tests: 698 backend pass (was 680), 60 M4, 94 M3 history, 66 export/
migrations, 93 security/local-only. Frontend lint and build clean, Docker
build clean, loopback binding unchanged. No assertion weakened, no skip
added.

Planning: STORY-BRANCH-SEMANTICS §19.1 is the only behavioural change and it
strengthens §19. V1-ACCEPTANCE-TESTS records D11-D14, I04, L03 and the
E-series, keeping automated, live-runtime and browser evidence distinct, and
weakens no pass condition. DATA-MODEL records the coordinate with the retry
measurement that settles it. BROWSER-UX-SPEC rules for Moment over Turn.
BUILD-MILESTONES marks M4 COMPLETE, closes M3's browser condition, and lists
what M5 inherits. VERSION adds v2.6.

No new ADR: ADR 005 already decides that history is preserved rather than
overwritten, and §19.1 is that decision applied to checkpoint-referenced
history.

M4 is closed. M5 may now be briefed; it has not been started.

JesseMarkowitzandClaude Opus 5 e08d49c3eb M4: add durable named Save Points
A Save Point is a name for a story position, and restoring one is head
movement. That is the whole architecture, and it is what ADR 012 and
BUILD-MILESTONES' note on M4 asked for: M3 made the head a stored
(branch, depth) and made arriving at one a row lookup plus a state restore,
so a Save Point needs no restore machinery of its own.

What the user gets:

- Name the moment they are reading, keep playing, restart the app, and come
  back to it. Restoring moves the story back and deletes nothing: the later
  turns stay, Redo still walks forward into them, and writing something
  different is what starts a new line while the old one is kept.
- Rename, delete, and a list, in a Save Points panel beside the branch panel,
  with a Save Point button next to Undo and Redo. Both confirmations say what
  is *not* destroyed, because that is the part the screen cannot show.
- Save Points survive export and import.

What was deliberately not built:

- No second restore path. `head.move_to_node` is the only new movement: its
  depth half is M3's `head.move_to` unchanged, and its branch half is the
  single assignment `switch_branch` already makes. No head field is written
  in the checkpoint router, nothing reconstructs state, nothing prunes a
  memory, nothing copies or deletes a turn, and restore never forks — the
  first write below the restored head does, through `fork_if_behind_head`.
- No automatic cleanup. A Save Point behind the head, or naming a line the
  story left, is doing its job (STORY-BRANCH-SEMANTICS §19). The one removal
  is a cascade: deleting a branch takes its Save Points, as it takes its
  memories, because the story they named went with it.
- No new ADR. ADR 012 already decides the architecture, and a table is not a
  decision.

The one call the planning package did not already make: restore moves the
branch half of the head only when the coordinate is off the path being read.
Doing it unconditionally would quietly hand back an abandoned continuation
whenever a Save Point in a shared prefix was restored; never doing it would
make a Save Point on a departed line unrestorable, which contradicts §19.
TECHNICAL-DESIGN §8.8 records it.

Schema: a `checkpoints` table holding a name, an optional note and a
(branch, depth) coordinate — no copy of any story. `create_all` builds it as
it did `memories` and `branches`; migration 80 adds the index. No backfill,
because nobody had named a position before M4.

The coordinate is deliberately not an action id: one coordinate holds every
attempt at a turn and exactly one is live, so a coordinate follows a retry
where a row id would pin a take the story no longer tells.

Tests: 680 pass (638 before). 42 new in tests/test_save_points.py covering
D11-D14, I04, L03, E-series lineage and memory isolation after restore and
divergence, the edge cases, and an M3-database migration. One pre-existing
fixture in test_tree_migration.py needed `checkpoints` added to its drop
list — SQLite refuses to drop a table another table references.

Not verified: the browser. No session has had a usable one, so the Save
Point panel's DOM behaviour is unobserved — as M3's Redo control still is.
The twenty-step sequence was driven over HTTP against a live server with a
real process restart instead, and all seventeen checks pass. M4 is
implemented, not accepted: no review has been written.

JesseMarkowitzandClaude Opus 5 3c8e91f644 Docs: correct post-M3 status and Ollama configuration
Three stale claims found in active documentation after the post-M3
consolidation:

- BUILD-MILESTONES.md still opened "M1 and M2 complete; M3 next", which
  contradicted its own M3 "Status: COMPLETE" block, planning/README.md and
  VERSION.md. It now states M1, M2 and M3 complete and accepted, M4 next.
- DEVELOPMENT.md described the settings row as "endpoint, model and (unused)
  API key" and sent "api_key":"" in its curl example. M2 removed the field;
  schemas.SettingsUpdate has no api_key. The prose and the example now match
  the real request shape. No application code was changed.
- README.md listed LM Studio as a supported local endpoint. ADR 002 and ADR 011
  make Ollama the only v1 backend; LM Studio is a rejected alternative there.
  The row is removed and the surrounding wording now says Ollama is the
  supported backend, same-host is the default, trusted-LAN Ollama is supported,
  public/cloud is prohibited, and the OpenAI-compatible adapter is an
  implementation detail rather than a support promise. The claude_shim section
  stays, relabelled "(development only)".

Documentation only; no code, schema or test changes.

JesseMarkowitzandClaude Opus 5 d27ee34901 Docs: consolidate active planning and archive historical material
The planning package had grown to where a new agent could not tell what was
authoritative. Phase 0 execution prompts sat beside the specification; four
completed milestone reports sat beside the current one; and upstream AI-DnD's
own `plan/` build log and `docs/` project site still described a hosted,
scripted, multi-user product with accounts — every screenshot in it showed a
Scripts tab and a Sign up button, none of which has existed since M2.

`planning/archive/` now holds the history and says so in its own README:
`phase0/` for the research that chose AI-DnD, `milestone-reports/` for M1 and
M2, `decisions/` for ADR 008, the Phase-0-before-build gate Phase 0 satisfied.
`planning/reports/` holds only the current milestone's report, because that is
the one M4 planning has to read; it moves to the archive when M4's replaces it.

Deleted rather than archived: the Phase 0B execution prompts and the
handoff/status/summary documents, the Phase 0A discovery and triage reports,
upstream's `plan/` and `docs/` trees, and `frontend/README.md`, which was Vite's
template boilerplate. All of it is in Git history, and the two recommendation
reports carry every conclusion the deleted research reached.

Archived documents are kept verbatim. Paths written inside them point at where
those files were when the document was written, which is the point: an evidence
record that has been quietly edited is no longer evidence.

Active documentation is corrected where it pointed at the removed trees or
described removed capability as present. `DEVELOPMENT.md`'s "things M1 did not
touch" list had gone stale at M2 and claimed QuickJS scripting was still tested;
its test count was 604 against an actual 638. `README.md` loses the upstream CI
badge, which reported upstream's pipeline rather than this fork's, and a
reference to `backend/app/worldstate/engine.py`, a file that does not exist.
`planning/README.md` is rewritten as the documentation index.

New: `planning/PROJECT-SOURCES.md` and `planning/project-sources.txt`, the
manifest of what belongs in the ChatGPT project's Sources.

Source comments referring to the deleted trees are reworded; no behaviour
changes. 638 backend tests pass, frontend lints and builds, and a reference scan
over all 48 tracked Markdown files reports no unresolved path in active
documentation.

JesseMarkowitz 8c65ae99de M2: cut the hosted product away from the local one
94 files, +1,395 -6,578. Three files are new; twenty-four are gone. The
milestone is subtraction, and what is left is the single-user local
storyteller the specification describes.

Removed in full: campaign scripting and its QuickJS sandbox; multi-user
accounts, guest sessions, login, registration and the shared demo key;
the visitor-analytics tables, dashboard and page beacon; the access log
of sign-ins, addresses and devices; per-IP and per-user rate limiting
and quotas; Render deployment config; Postgres and psycopg; cloud
inference providers, the API-key field and the key encryption that
existed to store it; session-cookie signing. None of it was hidden
behind a flag — the routes are gone and answer 404.

Two things were kept that the brief allowed keeping. The `users` table
and its foreign keys stay as an internal ownership detail, because
rewriting them out means a migration across most of the schema to
delete a column that costs nothing; nothing creates a second user and
no request carries an identity. Five inert tables and four inert
columns stay for the same reason, so an M1 campaign database opens
unchanged.

The one addition is app/endpoints.py, which decides where a story may
be sent. Loopback, RFC1918, link-local, unique-local and CGNAT — an
explicit allowlist of networks, not a guess at what `ipaddress` means
by "private", which calls the documentation ranges private and IPv6
loopback reserved. Every address a hostname resolves to must be in it,
so a split answer does not squeak through, and the rule runs both when
the endpoint is saved and before every outbound request, because a name
that resolved to the LAN this morning can resolve elsewhere this
afternoon. Known cloud hosts are named in the refusal so the error says
why rather than looking like broken DNS. TLS is never traded against
it: M1's shared trust context is intact on all four clients and there
is no way to skip verification.

The hardcoded 120-second model timeout is now a setting. That was not
theoretical — on this GPU-less four-core host a cold load of
qwen2.5:3b-instruct took 648.9 seconds to produce the first turn, while
turns 2 to 5 of the same campaign took 3.6 to 13.1. Connect stays short
at 10s so a wrong address still fails fast; the read timeout defaults
to 300s and is bounded at 3600, because "wait longer" must stay a
number.

Two defects found while testing and fixed here. An unknown /api path
fell through the SPA catch-all and came back as HTML with status 200,
so a client asking for JSON parsed a web page instead of learning the
route was gone. And AIDND_CORS_ORIGINS accepted "*", which on an
unauthenticated loopback API would hand every page on the Internet a
write handle on the campaign database; it now refuses to start.

Verified rather than assumed. Offline, on a network with no route out
and no DNS: five turns, retry with both takes retained, restart with an
identical transcript digest, a failed model call leaving the accepted
AI-turn count untouched, and a capture with zero non-loopback unicast
packets. Against a real second machine on the LAN over HTTPS with a
private CA: four turns, restart, and a capture showing 289 packets to
the approved host, 344 loopback, zero anywhere else, zero DNS queries.
Cloud and public endpoints refused with their reasons; no API key
settable; every removed route 404.

604 backend tests pass, down from 648 by the fifteen retired with the
subsystems they tested and up by the twenty-nine added for the endpoint
policy and the removed surface. The scripting tests were not deleted:
eight files used a JavaScript counter as instrumentation for the state
snapshot and rollback machinery, which M2 does not touch, so the
counter moved to the world-state engine and those tests still assert
what they always did. Frontend lint and build are clean; the image
builds, and its wheel-building stage is gone with quickjs.

No M3 work. Undo is still destructive and there is still no Redo.

JesseMarkowitzandClaude Opus 5 c1a73b3d77 M1: make the first story turn work with no Internet
Phase 0B ran the upstream application on a network with no route out and
the first turn died in tiktoken, which downloads its BPE table the first
time anything counts a token. The browser separately fetched three font
families from Google on every page load. Neither is visible on a machine
that has been online once, which is why both now have tests.

The tokenizer table is vendored at
backend/app/context/vendor/cl100k_base.tiktoken and
backend/app/context/encoding.py builds the encoding from it directly,
verifying its SHA-256 against the digest tiktoken itself pins for that
URL. No code path in the tokenizer can reach the network any more —
not a warm cache, not an environment variable a deployment could forget.
The encoding was checked token for token against tiktoken's own.

The three font families are self-hosted as variable fonts under
frontend/public/fonts/ (343 KiB, Latin and Latin Extended), declared in
frontend/src/styles/fonts.css, and re-vendored by
frontend/tools/vendor_fonts.py. Their OFL licences ship beside them.
With no remote asset left, the CSP drops both Google hosts and gains
object-src, base-uri and form-action; woff2 also gets its real media
type, which Python's table lacks on a slim image.

A trusted-LAN Ollama turned out not to work at all over HTTPS. httpx
verifies against the certifi bundle, so an endpoint whose certificate
comes from a CA the user installed on their own machines — a StartOS
server's Ollama, for one — was refused with CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED
while curl and the browser on the same host accepted it.
app/tlstrust.py builds one context that unions the platform CA store
with certifi's, and all four outbound clients use it. A union rather
than a swap, so an image with an empty system store cannot start failing
on endpoints that worked before. Verification itself is untouched:
CERT_REQUIRED, hostname checking on, and no insecure escape hatch.

The storyteller listener is now loopback by explicit statement rather
than by inheriting uvicorn's default: start.sh, start.ps1, and
docker-compose.yml, which publishes to 127.0.0.1 rather than every
interface. Reaching an Ollama on another machine is outbound and needs
none of that inbound exposure.

backend/requirements.lock pins the exact tested closure;
requirements.txt keeps the ranges. DEVELOPMENT.md covers setup, the
same-host and trusted-LAN Ollama configurations, and how to re-run the
offline proof. PROVENANCE.md records the upstream commit, the MIT terms,
and both vendored assets.

Verified, not just compiled. On an --internal Docker network with
1.1.1.1 unreachable and no name resolving, a campaign was created and
played for six turns through same-host Ollama, restarted, and resumed.
A second run played ten turns through Ollama on a separate physical
machine on the LAN over verified HTTPS, summaries and embeddings
included, with the storyteller's default route deleted so the LAN was
reachable and the Internet was not. Its capture: 893 packets to the
approved host, 730 loopback, zero anywhere else, and zero DNS queries.
Two induced model failures left the accepted story bit-identical. The
inherited SPA was opened in a browser and a campaign read back from it.
Evidence is in planning/reports/M1-BASELINE-REPORT.md, along with the
findings that did not belong in this change.

648 backend tests pass, up from the inherited 632; frontend lint and
build are clean; the image builds. No M2 work is included: the hosted,
cloud, analytics, Postgres and scripting surfaces are untouched.
