AI Chat is a plain scratchpad for talking to a model directly — no story
context, scripts or world state — for poking at models, prompts and endpoints
without starting an adventure. Power users only: the router 404s (rather than
403s) for everyone else and the nav link is hidden. The conversation lives in
localStorage, so there's no new table or migration.
is_power_user() now also returns True in local mode: it's the operator's own
machine and their own key, the same reasoning that makes the provider debug log
local-only.
Alongside that, the rule keeping the shared demo key off paid models now lives
in exactly one place. It had been duplicated into the chat router, which is how
one copy eventually drifts:
- resolve_provider_config() takes an optional model_override and is the only
place the whitelist is applied, so turns, AI Chat and the connection test all
inherit it. An override is a per-request preference, never a grant.
- ProviderConfig.__post_init__ refuses to exist when api_key is the demo key
and the model isn't whitelisted. It keys on the key itself rather than the
using_demo flag, so a mislabelled config can't slip past, and it raises so a
future path that bypasses the resolver fails loudly instead of billing.
- The demo branch still pins endpoint_url too — a user-controlled endpoint
would leak the key itself, which is worse than spending it.
Provider gained chat(messages, ...) beside generate(), both delegating to a
shared _stream(url, body); completion-mode endpoints get the messages flattened
into a labelled transcript. Settings' /models fetch moved to
list_endpoint_models() and is shared with /api/chat/config.
Tests: 10 new in tests/test_chat.py (70 total). These deliberately do not stub
resolve_provider_config — the point is to exercise the real BYOK-vs-demo
decision and assert on what the provider actually received: off-whitelist
override pinned, off-whitelist Settings.model pinned, redirected endpoint
pinned, BYOK passed through untouched.

Trusted testers listed in AIDND_POWER_USERS get unmetered turns on the
shared demo key: demo_turns_left reports the full cap and count_demo_turn
skips them. Registered accounts only, matched case-insensitively.

Config via env, abuse/resource limits, and production serving so the app
is safe to expose publicly:
- Fail-fast on missing SECRET_KEY when MULTI_USER=true
- quickjs per-execution time/memory limits (while(true) can't hang server)
- Per-user/per-IP rate limiting on turn/script/auth endpoints
- Request body size limit + per-user row caps
- Security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, nosniff, referrer-policy) incl. SSE
- Debug router 403 and /docs disabled in multi-user mode
- DATABASE_URL support (defaults to Neon Postgres) alongside SQLite
- Documented all env vars in backend/.env.example
Verified locally via uvicorn (MULTI_USER=1, SQLite); see plan/09-phase-hardening.md.

Guest-first multi-user mode behind AIDND_MULTI_USER (local installs
unchanged): signed-cookie guest sessions bootstrapped by /api/auth/me,
register upgrades the guest in place, login/logout, per-IP rate limits.
Every router scoped by user_id; Settings become per-user with the API
key Fernet-encrypted at rest and write-only through the API. Users
without a key get a server-funded demo key (OpenRouter free models,
20 turns/day, memory bank disabled on demo turns). Public read-only
demo scenarios (seed_demo.py); debug log restricted to local mode.
Frontend: auth modal + guest nudge, 401 re-establish/retry, demo
banner and key management in Settings.
Migrations 13-23 adopt existing data under a local user and encrypt
stored keys. Verified: migration on a copy of real data.db, two-session
isolation + register/login via curl and Chrome, demo cap 429, live
OpenRouter turn through the encrypted-key path, vite build + oxlint.
