The app had no cleanup of any kind: in multi-user mode every first visit
mints a users row, so the demo has been accumulating one permanent account
per visitor along with everything they generated.
cleanup.py sweeps guests idle for AIDND_GUEST_RETENTION_DAYS (default 5),
once at startup and then every few hours. Startup is the load-bearing
trigger — the free tier sleeps after ~15 minutes, so a long timer rarely
gets to fire.
Idle is COALESCE(last_seen_at, created_at), not last_seen_at: _touch only
writes that column hourly, and a guest minted by /auth/me has it NULL until
its second request, so the simpler query would have deleted brand-new
visitors mid-session.
It's one Core DELETE rather than db.delete(user), which would SELECT every
adventure, action and memory into Python purely to delete them — the same
egress pattern as the 189x fix. Every FK from users down is ON DELETE
CASCADE, so the database does the whole graph and returns a count.
The filter requires is_guest AND email IS NULL, so registered users (who
upgrade in place) and local mode's implicit user are both out of reach, and
is_public is output-only so a guest can never own content another user can
see. Session cookies have no expiry and can outlive a swept row; that path
401s and the frontend's existing retry re-mints a session.
Guests are told: /auth/me serves guest_retention_days and the signup modal
states the window, sourced from the server so it can't drift from what is
enforced.

The README claimed screenshots were "coming" and stopped describing the
project around phase 10, so the world-state engine, the retry/undo state
revert and the egress work — the most interesting parts — were invisible.
- Screenshots of the play screen, Insights, the schema editor and the
script editor, captured from the running app.
- Document the world-state engine, undo/retry rewind, and the two measured
performance fixes; correct the context assembly order to match
context/builder.py; drop the stale "phases 1-6 complete" note.
- Add CI (backend pytest, frontend lint + build, Docker image build) and
its badge. Nothing ran the 151 tests but me.
- Move CODE_REVIEW_FINDINGS.md to docs/self-review.md and say up front
that every correctness finding is resolved.
- Drop a dead import that the newly-wired lint flagged.

The global input styling in index.css enumerates types, and `email` was
never in the list, so the Email box fell through to browser defaults while
the Password box right below it got the app treatment. Added it to both
copies of that selector list -- the base rule and the 16px iOS-zoom rule in
the mobile block; missing the second would revert the fix on phones.
While in there, the modal itself: log in / sign up are now segmented tabs
instead of a link crammed into the button row, fields carry autoComplete so
password managers work at all, a show/hide toggle on the password, Esc to
dismiss, and the error is a real role=alert box rather than the shared
.test-error text.

Retry used to delete the last AI action and generate a replacement, so the
discarded narration was simply gone. The row survives now: each attempt is
appended to actions.variants with variant_index naming the live one, and a
ChatGPT-style pager under the message browses them.
Action.text still mirrors the active variant, so the context builder, memory
bank, summarizer and export needed no changes. A variant carries only what
differs between attempts -- the text, the reasoning, and the state it
produced -- never the assembled prompt, which is identical across attempts of
one turn and is the bulk of context_snapshot.
Only the last message can be switched, restoring the script/world state that
attempt produced; earlier turns were written as a continuation of whatever is
active there, so theirs are read-only previews.
Three things that would otherwise bite:
- generate_turn now wraps _generate_turn and watches for a save sentinel. If
the generator ends without it (provider error, empty reply, script stop,
client hangup) it re-applies the previous variant -- otherwise a failed
retry leaves rolled-back stats under un-rolled-back text.
- Retry reuses the turn's own index rather than next_index, or the clock the
world-state cooldowns run on advances on a re-run of the same turn.
- Editing a message rewrites the active variant too, or paging away and back
silently reverts the edit.
Migrations 34/35 verified as an upgrade against a populated database, not
just a fresh schema. test_state_revert's retry test asserted the old delete
behaviour and was rewritten.

NPCs are still part of stat_schema, but editing them inside the World State
panel meant a nested dashed sub-box among four flat stat lists. They now get
a top-level "Cast & NPCs" section: one card per NPC (avatar, name, npc.<id>
address, triggers, description, its own stats) in a responsive grid, saved
through the same schema path via the new NpcEditor/addNpc exports.
The panel's real inconsistency was CSS, not layout: the global field rule
keys off input[type="..."], which never matches the editor's typeless key and
description inputs, so those rendered with browser defaults beside properly
styled number boxes. One scoped base rule now covers the whole editor and
every entry is the same tile with a caption over each control.
Two bugs fell out of that: .se-band-n (0,1,0) always lost to
input[type="number"] (0,1,1), so band bounds rendered full-width; and the
exclusion has to be :not(:where([type="checkbox"])) because a plain :not()
inherits its argument's specificity and swallows every override.
In Play, NPCs group under a single "Cast" heading as compact plates instead
of each becoming another top-level group in the rail.

Models like DeepSeek V4 Flash reason by default, and the reasoning budget
setting could only ever add thinking tokens - there was no value that turned
thinking off. A negative budget now sends `reasoning: {effort: "none"}`.
Uses effort:none rather than exclude:true deliberately - exclude still thinks
and still bills, it only hides the trace.
Zero keeps its old meaning (send no `reasoning` field at all) so endpoints that
reject unknown fields, like the default Ollama one, are unaffected. Reusing the
existing int column this way avoids a migration.

An adventure copies its scenario's plot text and story cards at creation so
later authoring never disturbs a story in progress. This is the explicit
opt-out, alongside the existing per-script "Sync from library".
GET /adventures/{id}/refresh returns a plan (per-field old/new diff, card
add/update/remove, world-state added/removed paths, and any ${...} answers
still needed); POST applies it under the turn lock so it can't race a
generating turn. The Plot panel shows the plan in a confirm modal first.
Overwrites the plot fields and scenario-derived cards. Deliberately left
alone: the opening `start` action (the story is built on it, and it is baked
into memories and the summary), the adventure's own title and summary,
player-authored story cards, and the live value of every stat the schema
still defines.
Two enablers were needed:
- adventures.placeholders (migration 32). ${...} answers were used once at
creation and discarded, so re-copying scenario text would have re-injected
a literal ${Hero}. Adventures predating the column re-prompt once via the
existing modal, then the answers are saved.
- story_cards.source_ref (migration 33), "card:<id>" / "npc:<key>", NULL for
player-authored. Adventure cards had no link back to their source, so a
rename read as delete-plus-add and player cards would have been clobbered.
Legacy cards name-match once, then adopt the ref.
World state goes through a new worldstate.reconcile(): keep values the schema
still defines, add missing ones at their initial, drop removed ones and their
cooldown bookkeeping. Not instantiate(), which would heal the player to full
and wipe their milestones.
The confirm modal is portalled to <body>: .side-panel's panel-in animation
has fill mode `both`, which makes it the containing block for position:fixed
descendants, so an overlay rendered in place was trapped in the 420px panel
and clipped by its overflow.
14 new tests in backend/tests/test_scenario_refresh.py; 85 pass.

Editing a beat opened a fixed 110px box. Player actions are one line, but AI
beats are several paragraphs, so editing one meant working through a keyhole.
New AutoTextarea sizes to its content on mount and on every change; CSS keeps a
110px floor so a short player action doesn't collapse, and a 65vh ceiling that
scrolls internally so Save/Cancel can't be pushed off the screen.
On phones both composers are one flex row, which left almost nothing to type
into: measured at a 390px composer, the Play textarea got 138px (Do/Say/Story
eat ~180px, Send ~75px) and the chat textarea 310px. Both now wrap, with the
buttons on their own line and the textarea taking the full 390px — Play keeps
Do/Say/Story and Send together on the top row, chat drops Send beneath. Play
stays two rows, so nothing gets taller. Desktop is unchanged; every rule is
inside the existing max-width:720px block.

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.

Rework the home page into a single landing surface and give the app a
consistent visual language, chosen as "illuminated tome" over two other
pitched directions because it builds on the existing Cinzel + gold identity
instead of replacing it.
Home is now Continue (up to 4 in-progress stories, each showing where you
left off) over a scenario shelf, each section with a "See all" link. The
full adventure list moves to /adventures.
Scenario cover art has three tiers, in precedence order: an uploaded picture
(downscaled client-side to 400px WebP before storing), an emoji, or gradient
art generated from a hash of the title so no card is ever an empty box.
Adventures inherit their scenario's art. Images live in the row rather than
on disk because Render's free tier has no persistent volume, and it keeps
export bundles self-contained; list responses carry a cacheable
/api/scenarios/{id}/image URL rather than the base64.
Also: ambient drifting motes behind the app, loading skeletons, staggered
card entrance, ornamental scene breaks and a drop cap in the story, a
"Weaving" thinking indicator, and a toast system replacing every alert().
Two fixes found along the way:
- Importing a scenario bundle with no "tags" key returned a 500. Column
defaults are not applied until flush, so the attribute was still None
when the width clamp sliced it.
- Anything meaning "the story's latest narration" was missing action type
"start", which is the only text a freshly created adventure has, so new
adventures looked empty. Collected as NARRATION_TYPES.
Migrations 30 and 31 add scenarios.image and scenarios.icon; both are
additive with a '' default and were verified against a database stamped at
29. vite.config.js now reads AIDND_API_PORT so the recurring port-8000
clash with another local app needs no file edit.

The stylesheet had no real mobile design (one media query that only hid a
nav hint), so on phones the Play screen's four side-by-side columns
overflowed horizontally. Add a max-width:720px layer that collapses the
Play layout to a single story column, turns the World/Script State rails
into left-edge tabs that open as slide-in overlays, and makes the
Plot/Memory/Scripts/Insights side-panel a full-screen overlay. Also add a
hamburger dropdown for the top nav, switch the play-layout heights from vh
to dvh (fixes the mobile address-bar jump), and bump inputs to 16px to stop
iOS zoom-on-focus.

Players/authors can now directly correct the live values of stats the
schema already defines (health, trust, flags, milestones, etc.) without
waiting for the AI to emit a delta. New apply_override() sets values
absolutely rather than adding deltas, and — unlike the AI-facing
apply_delta() — bypasses cooldown/max_delta_per_turn and lets
milestones be un-set, since this is a deliberate correction rather
than a turn to police. Exposed via PUT /adventures/{id}/world-state
and an edit toggle in the World State drawer. Also fixes the
schema-editor stat-kind dropdown and free-text initial-value input
to size consistently with the numeric fields next to them.

Numeric stats couldn't represent things like worn armor or held items.
A stat can now be marked type: "text" — the AI reports the new full
value instead of a delta, with no clamping/bands (cooldown still
applies). Updated the scenario editor's stat kind selector, the
World State drawer's stat display, and the emit-rule prompt; added
tests and an outfit stat to the RPG demo scenario.

Each AI action now carries a compact world_changes summary (derived from its
stored snapshot), rendered as small chips beneath the message: numeric stats
show a signed delta (green up / red down), flags show on/off, milestones show
a check. Gives an at-a-glance "what changed" without opening Insights.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Store the model's literal reply (before the world-state block is stripped)
in each turn's snapshot, and render it in the Insights panel when inspecting
a past AI message (the 🔍 button). Makes it possible to see exactly what the
model emitted — including whether it sent a state delta and with what paths —
which is the fastest way to debug under-reported or misrouted stat changes.

The JSON view no longer parses/saves on every keystroke — you type freely
and click "Save JSON" to apply. Invalid JSON (or a non-object) shows the
parse error inline instead of auto-rejecting; valid JSON is pretty-printed,
applied to the form/preview, and saved. The form editor still auto-saves.

Scenario editor now has a "World State (RPG)" section with an Editor/JSON
toggle. The Editor is a form UI to add/edit/remove world & player stats
(min/max/initial/±per-turn/cooldown/counter/desc/bands), NPCs (name, keys,
description, and their own stats), flags, and milestones — no JSON required.
Both views edit the same parsed schema and stay in sync; empty clears the
RPG layer. Keeps the read-only structured preview under the JSON view.

Replace the single shared `npc` stat template (+ npc_card_types) with an
`npcs` section: each NPC keyed by a stable id, carrying its own name,
description, trigger keys, and its OWN stats block. The AI addresses NPCs
as npc.<id>.<stat> (id shown in context), which also fixes the old
card-id-guessing problem. On adventure creation each NPC auto-creates a
story card (name/keys/desc) for lore + in-scene detection, unless a
same-name card already exists. All NPCs instantiate up front.
- engine: npcs instantiate/apply/render/reference, npc_name/npc_triggers
- builder: _visible_npcs matches each NPC's own keys
- create_adventure: auto-create story cards from npcs
- WorldStateDrawer: render defined NPCs with their own stats + desc tooltip
- demo seed: Gwen (health/trust) + Bandit Leader (health/aggression)
- tests updated (34 pass); no new migration (npcs lives in stat_schema JSON)

Structured world/player/NPC stats, two-way flags, and sticky milestones
per scenario (stat_schema). The AI proposes a per-turn delta; a Python
engine referees it (clamp to min/max, per-turn cap, cooldown, counters).
Band word-labels plus a fixed stat guide (descriptions + full ranges)
keep the model grounded. World State drawer + Insights delta report;
undo/retry roll it back via the Phase 11 snapshot pattern.
- migrations 26-28 (scenarios.stat_schema, adventures.world_state,
actions.world_state_before); all nullable, additive, safe on existing rows
