+# Buzz CI MinIO
+
+`ghcr.io/block/buzz-minio:latest` contains MinIO and `mc` for the disposable
+Linux AMD64 CI runners. `docker-compose.ci.yml` selects it for both services;
+development and deployment defaults stay in `docker-compose.yml`.
+
+The **MinIO image** workflow builds only when its inputs change, or on a manual
+dispatch. Pull requests build and smoke-test without publishing. On `main`, a
+successful smoke test publishes the same image as
+`sha-<full commit>-run-<run id>-<attempt>` and `latest`. The run-specific tag
+preserves each build, including package refreshes from the same source commit.
+Once consumers adopt the override, ordinary CI only pulls it; there is no build
+fallback or dependency on the publisher. `latest` deliberately floats, and
+Compose always pulls it. Docker's pull output records the resolved digest.
+
+The Dockerfile uses the same upstream releases as the development services,
+with checksummed official GitHub release binaries and a digest-pinned Alpine
+base. MinIO and `mc` are AGPL-3.0; their corresponding source is available at
+the [MinIO release](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/RELEASE.2025-09-07T16-13-09Z)
+and [mc release](https://github.com/minio/mc/tree/RELEASE.2025-08-13T08-35-41Z).
+
+## First publication
+
+The image must exist and be publicly pullable before the CI switch can pass.
+Use two separate PRs: Buzz only permits squash merges, so two commits in one
+PR cannot stage this rollout.
+
+1. Merge the publisher-only PR containing `.github/ci/minio/`,
+   `.github/workflows/minio-image.yml`, and the opt-in `docker-compose.ci.yml`.
+   Ordinary CI does not select the override yet, so it does not need this image
+   to validate the publisher PR. The merge triggers the first publication.
+2. After publication succeeds, an org/package admin must make **buzz-minio**
+   public in its GitHub package settings (new GHCR packages default to private,
+   even for public repositories). Verify an anonymous pull of
+   `ghcr.io/block/buzz-minio:latest`.
+3. Rebase the separate consumer PR onto `main`, run its integration checks, and
+   merge it. That PR selects the override in relay and mesh lifecycle CI.
+
+Subsequent publications preserve package visibility.
+
+## Updating or rebuilding
+
+Update the release URLs/checksums or base digest in the Dockerfile and open a
+PR. Merging triggers publication. To rebuild the existing recipe (for example,
+to pick up Alpine package updates), dispatch **MinIO image** from `main`.
+Manual dispatch disables Docker's layer cache so the package installation
+runs again. Other refs can build and test but cannot publish `latest`.
+
+To reproduce a CI run with a recorded version, set `MINIO_CI_IMAGE` to
+the published run-specific tag or digest while using
+`COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yml:docker-compose.ci.yml`.

+## Before opening a PR
+
+Open work in progress as a draft PR. Mark it ready for review only when this
+checklist holds for the current change. Scale it to what changed:
+documentation-only changes need content, link, and diff checks plus human
+confirmation, not app runs.
+
+1. **Agent review ran** under [Reviewing](#reviewing), and its recommended
+   blockers were fixed or explicitly declined by the human author. Optional
+   suggestions do not gate readiness.
+2. **An agent exercised the changed behavior.** Client changes: the affected flow
+   in the app, using the native app or a device when the behavior needs it
+   (browser or headless Playwright counts only for what it can exercise). Relay
+   changes: a local relay, exercising the changed events or endpoints. CLI or
+   tooling changes: the affected command or workflow. The human may skip this
+   step, for example for a small change or while iterating.
+3. **A human then tested it themselves**: in the app, against the local relay
+   (through the app or `curl`), or by running the changed command. Agent testing
+   does not substitute. Agents give the human exact steps and what working looks
+   like, then wait for explicit confirmation. Never mark this step done yourself.
+4. **Add `buzz-review-completed` to the PR description** once steps 1–3 hold. It
+   attests the checklist, and automated reviewers may skip review because of it.
+   If later edits change behavior, remove it and return the PR to draft until the
+   affected steps are redone.
+
+## Reviewing
+
+- Before reviewing, read [VISION.md](VISION.md), the `VISION_*.md` docs for the affected surface, and the PR's stated goal and linked
+  issue. Review the change against what it is trying to do.
+- Check the change against the [Review-Proven Rules](#review-proven-rules): the defects reviewers here find most often.
+- Judge minimalism, elegance, and correctness, aiming for 9/10 on each. A score
+  below 9 names the concrete defect and the fix.
+- Recommend blocking only for concrete correctness, security, or agreed-contract
+  defects with a realistic failure scenario: state the defect, how it fails, and
+  the fix. Label everything else (nits, wording, speculative hardening,
+  out-of-scope improvements) as optional.
+- Put all findings in the first review. Later reviews check prior blockers and
+  defects the fixes introduced; reopen other areas only on new evidence of a
+  material defect.
+- Agents post reviews as comments, never Request Changes. Humans decide which
+  findings must be fixed.

+# Local task runner
+
+`buzz-acp run` runs one prepared task in one fresh agent process and ACP session,
+then exits. Scripts and automation can use it without starting a conversational
+`buzz-acp` service or sending a chat message.
+
+```sh
+buzz-acp run --task ./task.json
+cat task.json | buzz-acp run --task -
+```
+
+Put command options after `run`. Use the normal trusted launch settings for
+identity, relay, adapter, model, effort, permissions, prompts, MCP tools, and
+memory. `buzz-acp run --help` lists them. The working directory is the launch
+working directory, not the task file's parent. The task cannot change it.
+
+## Task document, version 1
+
+Supply exactly one UTF-8 JSON object, at most 1 MiB including whitespace:
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": 1,
+  "taskId": "example-001",
+  "agentPubkey": "79be667ef9dcbbac55a06295ce870b07029bfcdb2dce28d959f2815b16f81798",
+  "prompt": "Inspect the current workspace. Report your findings using the task's specified destination.",
+  "maxDurationMs": 120000
+}
+```
+
+The example public key is illustrative; use the public key of the configured
+agent. Never put a private key in a task document.
+
+| Field | Contract |
+| --- | --- |
+| `version` | Integer `1`. Other versions fail before agent launch. |
+| `taskId` | Nonblank string, 1–256 UTF-8 bytes, no control characters. Correlation only, not a claim or deduplication key. |
+| `agentPubkey` | Exactly 64 lowercase hexadecimal characters. Must equal the configured agent's public key. |
+| `prompt` | Nonblank prepared task string. Include relevant context, original evidence, and reporting instructions here. |
+| `maxDurationMs` | Positive unsigned 64-bit integer. The shorter of this limit and the trusted `--max-turn-duration` cap wins. |
+
+All fields are required. Unknown fields, duplicate fields, wrong types, trailing
+JSON documents, and malformed JSON are rejected. File/stdin input has a ten-second
+read limit. Close stdin after the document. The input limit is separate from the
+execution deadline.
+
+Launch configuration is the authority for credentials, executable, tools,
+permissions, and relay. A document is **executable task input**, not a sandboxed
+message: only feed tasks that are trusted to use that agent's capabilities. The
+identity check prevents accidental execution by another agent; it does not
+verify the document's author. File/stdin input does not need a signature.
+
+## Session behavior
+
+- Load normal base, persona, and team instructions. Add the task-session context
+  instead of a conversational session description. Modern adapters receive
+  standing instructions through session setup; legacy adapters receive them with
+  the first prompt. `--no-base-prompt` and custom base files still work.
+- Load enabled core memory for the resolved owner and identity before session
+  creation. `--no-memory` skips this. No owner means no memory namespace. The
+  normal three-second fetch bound applies. Confirmed absence supplies the normal
+  onboarding hint; a failed read supplies no hint, not a false empty-memory claim.
+- Apply model, supported effort and permission settings through the existing
+  session setup. Unsupported settings retain the existing adapter fallback
+  behavior. Pass configured identity and relay to the child and MCP tools; keep
+  the inherited authorization and other launch environment. The shared runtime
+  prepares Git identity, scoped credentials, and signing helpers for both task
+  and conversational sessions. Temporary key material lives until adapter
+  cleanup is complete.
+- Submit one prepared task, allowing multiple model/tool exchanges. There is no
+  initial-message turn, heartbeat turn, conversation history, automatic channel
+  context, or second task. Context must be supplied or fetched with tools.
+- Do not start ordinary relay subscriptions, a standing pool, presence, typing,
+  a setup listener, observer publication, or an isolated-turn socket. Inherited
+  service-only options cannot enable these features. Shared option parsing still
+  validates launch settings.
+- Do not discover, borrow, stop, or reconfigure an existing host. Memory, files,
+  credentials, and external side effects may be shared with concurrent sessions.
+  Session isolation is not a security sandbox or a concurrency lock.
+- Do not automatically publish final text. Use task reporting instructions and
+  tools. Do not retry the task after failure, timeout, or uncertain execution.
+
+Launch configuration preparation (including prompt-file reads) has a separate
+ten-second bound. A blocked configuration read reports `configuration_timeout`
+with exit 2; SIGINT/SIGTERM during that read reports `cancelled` with exit
+130/143 and a null `taskId`. No adapter is started during this phase.
+
+The execution deadline covers adapter startup, memory loading, session setup,
+and the task turn. SIGINT/SIGTERM cancel the invocation. If a prompt is active,
+allow up to five seconds for cooperative cancellation, then kill and reap the
+child, with a further five-second reap bound. Startup and setup cancellation do
+not wait for a session to become ready. On Unix, cleanup kills the process group,
+including ordinary descendants. Processes that deliberately escape that group
+are outside this guarantee. On non-Unix platforms cleanup uses the existing
+ACP direct-child cleanup; descendant containment is not promised.
+
+## Terminal output
+
+For each attempted invocation, stdout contains one JSON line (except help/version
+output). Diagnostics and child stderr stay on stderr. No prompt, private key,
+agent final text, or raw adapter error is included in the terminal record.
+
+```json
+{"version":1,"taskId":"example-001","status":"completed","stopReason":"end_turn"}
+```
+
+`taskId` is null until the document is validated. `status` is one of `completed`,
+`failed`, `invalid`, `timed_out`, or `cancelled`. `stopReason` is present only for
+normal completion: `end_turn`, `max_tokens`, `max_turn_requests`, or `refusal`.
+Failures include a stable, sanitized `error` code when available, such as
+`agent_identity_mismatch`, `invalid_task_json`, or `agent_spawn_failed`.
+
+| Exit | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `0` | Turn returned normally. Inspect `stopReason`; this is not proof of task success. |
+| `1` | Startup/execution failure, adapter cancellation, or terminal-output failure. |
+| `2` | Invalid arguments, launch configuration, or task input/read. |
+| `124` | Execution deadline exceeded. |
+| `130` | SIGINT; bounded cleanup ran. |
+| `143` | SIGTERM; bounded cleanup ran. |
+
+A killed host or broken stdout can leave no terminal record. A record is not a
+persistent result ledger. Launching the same task twice can execute it twice.
+
+## Future work
+
+URL input and task-server retrieval are **not implemented**. URL-shaped sources
+are rejected, not fetched. A future design can GET a supplied URL and validate
+the same task document, with explicit authentication, size/time bounds, and
+redirect rules. This project adds no HTTP task endpoint or job queue.
+
+## Shared runtime ownership
+
+`runtime::AgentRuntime` prepares shared capabilities and owns their lifetime.
+Both entry points obtain adapter configuration and prompt context from it;
+add new shared capabilities there rather than in either entry point. Session
+creation, tool configuration, model/effort/permissions, and legacy prompt
+framing use the existing pool code. Mode-specific code owns task input and
+terminal output or conversational intake and scheduling, not agent equipment.
+
+## Build and verification
+
+```sh
+. ./bin/activate-hermit
+cargo build --release -p buzz-acp
+cargo test -p buzz-acp
+```
+
+`tests/run_task.rs` invokes the actual binary with a deterministic ACP peer. It
+checks stdin/file parity, fresh process/session setup, legacy and modern standing
+instructions, tools, identity, model/effort/permissions, memory reads and opt-out,
+invalid input, clean JSON, deadlines, signals, and Unix descendant cleanup.
+These checks do not require a model provider or production relay.

+## Task Session
+
+This is one fresh task session, not a channel conversation. The user prompt is
+one prepared task. It can contain its own event evidence and reporting directions;
+it need not contain a `<buzz-event>` section. Follow that task rather than waiting
+for an incoming message. No conversation history or channel routing is inherited.
+
+Base instructions about channel sessions and automatic incoming turns do not
+apply here. Use the task's explicit context and available tools. Core memory,
+files, and external effects can be shared with other sessions of this identity.
+The harness does not automatically post your final text as a channel reply.

+# buzz-feature-flags
+
+Provider-neutral, typed feature-flag contracts for Buzz server crates.
+
+This crate is infrastructure-only. It defines a small API for flag evaluation,
+plus a static evaluator and an optional LaunchDarkly adapter behind a compile
+feature.
+
+## Purpose
+
+`buzz-feature-flags` centralizes typed flag evaluation so server crates can use
+flags without importing vendor SDK types.
+
+Provider-neutral types:
+
+- `BooleanFlag`
+- `IntegerFlag` (`i64`, including negative values)
+- `EvaluationContext` (required `CommunityId`, optional actor `PublicKey`)
+- `FlagEvaluator` (typed `evaluate_bool` and `evaluate_int`)
+- `StaticEvaluator` (always returns declared defaults)
+- `EnvironmentEvaluator` (process-wide immutable environment snapshot)
+- `EnvironmentDiagnostic` (sanitized malformed-value report)
+
+LaunchDarkly support is optional and compile-gated behind
+`buzz-feature-flags/launchdarkly`.
+
+`EnvironmentEvaluator` is provider-neutral and always available (no Cargo
+feature and no external dependency).
+
+## Environment Variable Naming
+
+`EnvironmentEvaluator` reads only the fixed namespace
+`BUZZ_FEATURE_FLAG_`.
+
+For each flag key:
+
+- uppercase ASCII letters,
+- replace each run of non-ASCII-alphanumeric characters with `_`,
+- trim leading/trailing `_`,
+- prepend `BUZZ_FEATURE_FLAG_`.
+
+Example: `relay.feature.query-v2` → `BUZZ_FEATURE_FLAG_RELAY_FEATURE_QUERY_V2`.
+
+Normalized names must be unique across declared flags. Collisions (for example
+`a-b` and `a_b`) intentionally map to the same environment variable. Enforcing
+uniqueness belongs in a future flag registry; this crate does not add a
+registry yet.
+
+## Relay Artifact Contract (not yet wired into `buzz-relay`)
+
+The intended composition root is the outer relay artifact. It must select
+exactly one provider at compile time:
+
+- `static-feature-flags`
+- `environment-feature-flags`
+- `launchdarkly-feature-flags`
+
+`launchdarkly-feature-flags` is the only relay feature that forwards to
+`buzz-feature-flags/launchdarkly`. `static-feature-flags` and
+`environment-feature-flags` keep the reusable crate vendor-neutral and still
+allow adapter code to compile in tests.
+
+The relay artifact boundary, not this reusable crate, owns exact-one
+enforcement. Consumer integration PRs must carry `exact-one compile_error guards`
+verbatim/equivalently. That keeps `buzz-feature-flags` free to compile multiple
+adapters for tests while ensuring a staging or production relay artifact cannot
+choose a different evaluator at runtime.
+
+This repository currently adds the crate and adapter, but does **not** yet wire
+relay `AppState` or handlers to consume it. `crates/buzz-relay/Cargo.toml`
+still has no dependency on `buzz-feature-flags`, so current workspace/default
+builds remain intentionally unchanged. The executable contract for the future
+relay integration lives in
+`tests/fixtures/relay-feature-selection`.
+
+## Composition Root Shape (artifact boundary)
+
+Construct once at process startup, then inject shared `Arc<dyn FlagEvaluator>`
+into server components.

+        feature_flags,
+        environment_diagnostics: None,
+        launchdarkly_lifecycle: Some(owner),
+    })
+}
+```
+
+Each relay feature produces exactly one `build_feature_flag_evaluator` path, and
+runtime config carries only the selected provider's settings. There is no
+runtime provider enum, no provider-name environment variable, and no fallback
+selector.
+
+Startup is fail-closed: if the selected provider fails initialization (including
+`start_with_default_executor_and_wait` for LaunchDarkly), relay startup must
+return an error and stop rather than falling back to another evaluator.
+
+The extra concrete `Arc` is an owner/lifecycle handle to that same evaluator,
+not a layered provider. Consumers receive only the cloned `Arc<dyn
+FlagEvaluator>` view. Retain the environment owner to drain diagnostics after
+evaluations, and retain the LaunchDarkly owner so shutdown can call `close()`.
+
+`EnvironmentEvaluator` snapshots environment values once at construction,
+retains only `BUZZ_FEATURE_FLAG_` entries, ignores `EvaluationContext`, and
+never rereads process environment during evaluation.
+
+For deterministic tests or embedding, `EnvironmentEvaluator::from_pairs(...)`
+constructs the same immutable snapshot from explicit key/value pairs.
+
+Environment entries are untyped at construction, so malformed present values
+are detected when a typed flag is first evaluated. `take_diagnostics()` drains
+each sanitized diagnostic at most once per flag key and expected type. The
+composition root should retain the concrete environment evaluator and emit each
+drained diagnostic as a warning through the application's logging stack.
+Diagnostics contain no raw value or environment-variable name; the value
+snapshot itself remains immutable.
+
+## `buzz-db` Boundary (approved correction)
+
+`buzz-db` may evaluate flags internally when choosing between equivalent query
+implementations. It should depend on `buzz-feature-flags` without enabling the
+LaunchDarkly feature, and it should never construct or import provider types.
+
+Concise example (query path selection only):
+
+```rust
+use buzz_core::CommunityId;
+use std::sync::Arc;
+
+use buzz_feature_flags::{EvaluationContext, FlagEvaluator, IntegerFlag};
+
+pub struct Db {
+    feature_flags: Arc<dyn FlagEvaluator>,
+}
+
+impl Db {
+    pub async fn list_events(
+        &self,
+        community: CommunityId,
+    ) -> anyhow::Result<Vec<EventRow>> {
+        let context = EvaluationContext::for_community(community);
+
+        let query_version = self.feature_flags.evaluate_int(
+            IntegerFlag::new("db.events.query-version", 1),
+            &context,
+        );
+
+        if query_version >= 2 {
+            self.list_events_v2_sql(community).await
+        } else {
+            self.list_events_v1_sql(community).await
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+SQL details are intentionally omitted in this example; the key point is that
+public `Db` methods accept only domain inputs, while feature-flag evaluator
+wiring remains internal to `Db` construction.
+
+`EvaluationContext::for_actor` is appropriate only when the existing DB
+operation already receives an authoritative authenticated actor for domain
+behavior. Feature targeting must not add actor/pubkey parameters to otherwise
+actor-free DB APIs.
+
+For LaunchDarkly, the adapter context always includes kind `community` plus
+optional global kind `pubkey`. Percentage rollouts must explicitly choose a
+kind present in evaluation: rollouts must set `contextKind` to a kind present
+in evaluation (`community` or `pubkey`) when they are intended to bucket Buzz
+traffic. LaunchDarkly rollouts where configuration omits `contextKind` defaults
+to `user`; Buzz does not synthesize a `user` alias, so those rollouts bucket as
+zero and pick the first positive-weight variation.
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Evaluation context inputs are authoritative server-resolved values
+  (`community`, optional `actor`), not client-supplied targeting attributes.
+- Flags may choose between **equivalent** implementations only.
+- Flags must not weaken authorization, tenant isolation, ordering guarantees,
+  transaction/consistency behavior, or schema invariants.
+- Declared defaults choose the established safe path.
+- Integer values must be validated at the consumer boundary before affecting
+  behavior.
+
+## Fallback, Startup, and Lifecycle
+
+- `StaticEvaluator` always returns each flag's declared default.
+- `EnvironmentEvaluator` returns declared defaults when values are missing,
+  empty, invalid, non-Unicode, or the normalized flag key is unusable. Present
+  malformed values also produce a sanitized diagnostic; missing values do not.
+- LaunchDarkly adapter returns declared defaults when a flag is missing, wrong
+  type, or evaluation fails.
+- LaunchDarkly numbers are SDK `f64` values. Integer evaluation accepts only
+  mathematically integral values that convert to `i64` exactly from that `f64`
+  representation; otherwise it returns each flag's declared default.
+- Startup chooses one evaluator at compile time (`StaticEvaluator`,
+  `EnvironmentEvaluator`, or LaunchDarkly); provider precedence/stacking is out
+  of scope.
+- If LaunchDarkly is used, call evaluator `close()` during process shutdown.
+  `close()` blocks the calling thread while it flushes analytics, so async
+  shutdown code should offload it to a blocking shutdown path.
+- Safety invariants must never rely on remote-flag availability.
+
+## Build and Test Expectations
+
+Build modes:
+
+```bash
+# Provider-neutral (default): no LaunchDarkly dependency activated
+cargo build -p buzz-feature-flags
+
+# Provider-neutral environment evaluator is included in the default build
+cargo test -p buzz-feature-flags --test environment_evaluator
+
+# LaunchDarkly adapter enabled
+cargo build -p buzz-feature-flags --features launchdarkly
+```
+
+Dependency-graph expectation checks:
+
+```bash
+# Default graph should exclude launchdarkly-server-sdk
+cargo tree -p buzz-feature-flags
+
+# Feature graph should include launchdarkly-server-sdk
+cargo tree -p buzz-feature-flags --features launchdarkly
+```
+
+Testing expectations:
+
+- Run provider-neutral tests and LaunchDarkly-feature tests for this crate.
+- Run the relay-artifact compile contract in
+  `tests/relay_feature_selection_contract.rs`, including zero-feature and
+  multiple-feature rejection.
+- Keep `tests/fixtures/relay-feature-selection/Cargo.lock` checked in for the
+  nested `--locked` compile contract. Regenerate it from repo root with:
+
+```bash
+cargo generate-lockfile --manifest-path crates/buzz-feature-flags/tests/fixtures/relay-feature-selection/Cargo.toml
+```
+
+- When `buzz-db` adopts flag-gated query selection, add parity tests proving
+  old/new query paths return equivalent rows, ordering, and transactional
+  behavior for the same inputs.

+//! NIP-11 admin-origin discovery with same-host trust binding.
+//!
+//! Fetches the relay's information document and extracts a validated admin
+//! console origin from its `admin_api` field, together with a `same_host` flag
+//! recording whether that advertised origin targets the same host as the
+//! connected relay.
+//!
+//! # Trust model
+//!
+//! The `admin_api` value is untrusted relay input. On first mount with no saved
+//! origin the desktop auto-saves and auto-probes a discovered origin, and
+//! `admin_probe` signs a NIP-98 (kind-27235) header with the operator's key as
+//! soon as the origin answers `401 WWW-Authenticate: Nostr`. Auto-probing a
+//! *cross-host* advertisement would hand an attacker-controlled server an
+//! unconsented signature proving the operator's key ownership and intent.
+//!
+//! The binding closes that gap: an origin whose host matches the connected
+//! relay's host is trusted for auto-save + auto-probe (`same_host == true`); a
+//! cross-host advertisement is still surfaced but marked `same_host == false`,
+//! and the TypeScript layer treats it as pre-fill-only, requiring the operator
+//! to review and explicitly save before anything is signed. Host identity is
+//! the binding — scheme and port are not compared, so an operator can legitimately
+//! run the admin console on a different port or scheme than the relay.
+//!
+//! Residual exposure is bounded even for a same-host relay the operator does not
+//! fully trust: the NIP-98 header binds the exact request URL, method, and
+//! payload, so a captured signature is neither replayable against another
+//! endpoint nor usable as a general credential.
+//!
+//! Discovery still rejects private/reserved hosts and DNS-rebinding
+//! (`advertised_host_is_reserved`, `advertised_hostname_resolves_private`)
+//! regardless of the same-host flag. Separated from `mod.rs` to keep the parent
+//! file under the repository's line-count gate.

+//! Custom DNS resolver for the admin HTTP client.
+//!
+//! [`LocalhostDnsResolver`] pins RFC 6761 `.localhost` names (e.g.
+//! `admin.localhost`) to the loopback address (`127.0.0.1`) and delegates
+//! all other names to the system getaddrinfo resolver via a blocking thread.
+//!
+//! # Why a custom resolver
+//!
+//! The `http://admin.localhost:<port>` origin is the canonical form used by
+//! the relay's `just admin` target. RFC 6761 §6.3 requires `.localhost`
+//! subdomains to resolve to loopback, but system getaddrinfo does not honour
+//! this on all supported platforms:
+//!
+//! - **macOS**: resolves correctly via mDNSResponder.
+//! - **Linux/glibc**: relies on `nsswitch.conf` ordering; GitHub Actions
+//!   ubuntu-latest runners do NOT resolve `.localhost` subdomains.
+//! - **Windows**: not guaranteed by the system resolver.
+//!
+//! The resolver intercepts only names ending in `.localhost` and returns
+//! `127.0.0.1:0`; all other names fall through to the system resolver,
+//! so non-localhost resolution is unchanged.

+//! Desktop in-app admin surface — NIP-98 client for `/api/admin/v1`.
+//!
+//! Implements five Tauri commands that fetch JSON and binary content from the
+//! relay's deployment-admin API using the app keypair as the NIP-98 signing
+//! identity. A sixth command, `admin_probe`, discovers which authentication
+//! mode the configured admin origin is running and whether the app identity
+//! is authorized.
+//!
+//! # Security model
+//!
+//! The webview never supplies paths, methods, or full URLs. Every IPC command
+//! accepts an `AdminOrigin` (scheme + host + optional port, validated on
+//! construction) and typed query parameters; the final URL is built natively
+//! from a closed route enum. The URL that is signed is byte-identical to the
+//! URL that is fetched.
+//!
+//! A dedicated no-redirect reqwest client prevents redirect-hop SSRF — a relay
+//! 3xx is returned verbatim and treated as an error so the NIP-98 header is
+//! never forwarded across origins.
+//!
+//! Keys are acquired via `AppState::signing_keys()`, which returns `Err` when
+//! the identity is in recovery mode (keyring locked or lost), ensuring the app
+//! keypair can never sign admin events under an inaccessible identity.
+//!
+//! Response sizes are bounded by Content-Length preflight and a streaming byte
+//! counter, mirroring the `media_download.rs` pattern.

+ * Lets an operator enter the admin console URL (the value of `BUZZ_ADMIN_HOST`
+ * on their relay), then probes it to determine auth mode and whether the
+ * current app identity is on the allowlist.
+ *
+ * Identity boundary: the stateful body is rendered as
+ * `<AdminConsoleSettingsSession key={pubkeyHex} ...>` so that React
+ * synchronously unmounts A's entire state tree before B is rendered. Logout
+ * (pubkeyHex → empty string) renders nothing, so A's probe state, saved
+ * origin, and panel are torn down at the render level — not in a passive effect.
+ *
+ * Renders the full admin panel when probe state is `nip98Authorized` or
+ * `disabled`. The `disabled` state means the relay does not require or
+ * validate a credential on the admin API — the desktop still signs outgoing
+ * requests, but the relay accepts them unconditionally. The panel works the
+ * same way in both states.

+/**
+ * Staffing tab — Operator-only UI for managing relay_operators rows.
+ *
+ * Source badges distinguish config-backed entries (immutable via API) from
+ * DB-managed entries (can be added/removed/updated). 409 conflicts from the
+ * server (config-backed key modification attempts) are surfaced with a clear
+ * message.
+ *
+ * Display-name resolution follows the same pattern as the Invites surface:
+ * names come from `useUsersBatchQuery`; hovering a name cross-fades to the
+ * truncated npub so the raw identity is always one interaction away.
+ *
+ * A "Restrictions" section below the operator list lets operators lift active
+ * bans and timeouts for the currently active community.

+/**
+ * Behavior and race tests for AdminConsoleSettingsCard / AdminConsoleSettingsSession.
+ *
+ * Tests mount the REAL production components (including the key-prop session
+ * boundary, sessionTokenRef fence, and abortAndResetProbe wiring) against a
+ * mocked Tauri IPC bridge and a real QueryClientProvider.
+ *
+ * This file uses the hand-rolled MinimalDocument shim (same pattern as
+ * useLoadArchivedObserverEvents.test.mjs) and covers prop-driven and query-
+ * driven tests that do NOT require native event dispatch through React 19's
+ * container-level delegation:
+ *
+ * What makes these tests authoritative — they fail if:
+ *   - `pubkeyHex ? <Session …> : null` render gate removed (authorized-logout-teardown)
+ *   - `key={pubkeyHex}` boundary is removed (identity-switch test)
+ *   - `active` flag cleanup is removed from useAsyncLoad (old-list-after-new-list)
+ *   - the `getAdminOrigin()` catch is changed to silent-degrade (storage-error test)
+ *
+ * authorized-logout-teardown lives here (MinimalDocument, not jsdom) because the test is
+ * query-driven (act + qc.setQueryData + settle), not event-driven. The MinimalDocument
+ * suite handles async transitions cleanly without the jsdom global scheduler.
+ *
+ * Cross-identity delayed-save and all event-driven tests (origin-edit, detail-navigation,
+ * blob-leak-on-back-navigation, same-session-save-race) live in adminConsolePanelSession.jsdom-test.mjs
+ * where fireEvent dispatches native events through React 19's container-level delegation.
+ *
+ * Also covers:
+ *   - parseImetaAttachments wire contract (imported from AdminConsolePanel)

 17. **Databricks model discovery has one shared catalog authority.** Desktop and ACP call the shared `buzz-agent` discovery library; Desktop passes the effective merged `DATABRICKS_MODEL_FILTER` explicitly, and the library applies it to raw workspace endpoint IDs and Unity Catalog model-service FQNs after the additive union. A successful filtered-empty catalog is authoritative: it stays empty, disables switching, and never falls through to configured or known-model fallback. Verified provider-qualified exact records in `scripts/model-capabilities.json` take precedence for UC FQNs: `data_workflow_tools.goose.goose-claude-opus-5-5` uses Anthropic Messages, adaptive thinking, and `output_config.effort` (default medium). This does not confer capabilities on other namespaces or similarly named services. Uncurated UC FQNs do not inherit family effort capabilities: Claude service components select Anthropic Messages and expose no effort choices, while GPT-5-or-newer service components select OpenAI Responses with neutral fallback effort capabilities; other uncurated FQNs use MLflow Chat Completions. Catalog/schema components never infer routing. Keep exact-record precedence and fallback rules identical in the Rust and TypeScript capability interpreters and shared corpus. Effort inheritance, persistence, and clearing semantics are unchanged. Global Defaults preserves the discovered model ID as the selected value while its closed trigger renders the provider-scoped display label; do not force the raw persisted ID over that label.
 
+18. **ACP transport is persona-owned before deployment.** Select `acp_command` in the persona create/edit form beside the harness. Deployment inherits that value; linked instances do not expose a competing post-deploy override. Legacy definitions without the field use `buzz-acp`; definition-less agents retain their stored command. Switching a linked definition back to stock resets the instance transport on the next spawn. Shared persona events and restart snapshots carry the field so edits apply on the next spawn.
+
+19. **ACP command selection is convention-based.** The editor always offers
+    stock `buzz-acp` and installed executable `buzz-*-acp` aliases discovered
+    from normal executable search directories. It does not offer arbitrary
+    command entry. A persisted value outside that set remains visible as an
+    unavailable compatibility option but is not editable; selecting a conventional
+    option replaces it. Discovery returns the path produced by the same resolver
+    used at spawn, so a duplicate alias must never advertise one executable and
+    later launch another. Keep these transitions in the pure
+    `ui/acpCommandPicker.ts` helper and preserve persisted values across loading,
+    failed discovery, and late candidate arrival. ACP-only selections must mark
+    the form dirty, including catalog-update and embedded discard protection.
+    Catalog and portable agent/team snapshots carry only stock or conventional
+    aliases (ASCII letters, digits, hyphens, and underscores in the middle).
+    Foreign artifacts with other command values are rejected; exports omit
+    legacy machine-local commands. Owner-native and owner-device synchronization
+    retain custom-command compatibility and are not an execution sandbox.
+    Shared persona heads redact nonportable commands and emit explicit stock
+    for resets; owner replay of a redacted head preserves only a nonportable
+    local override. That local path is not synchronized through catalog heads.

+# Durable data backfills: a specification
+
+`draft`
+
+## Overview
+
+This section is non-normative. It gives the mental model for the requirements
+that follow.
+
+A Buzz data backfill repairs existing PostgreSQL rows after a compatible schema
+is available. It may start automatically with the relay or manually while the
+relay serves traffic. If a worker stops, another worker resumes from committed
+progress.
+
+Think of each backfill as one durable PostgreSQL row keyed by a stable ID:
+
+1. The application registers the stable ID.
+2. Starting the backfill captures a finite upper bound.
+3. A worker takes an exclusive claim.
+4. Each transaction changes target rows and advances the checkpoint together.
+5. Workers repeat bounded batches until they reach the upper bound.
+6. Validation proves the result before the row becomes `completed`.
+
+PostgreSQL is the authority throughout this flow. Queues and timers may wake a
+worker, but they do not own work or progress. The admin API and client display
+the PostgreSQL state; they do not keep another copy of the lifecycle.
+
+The key words **MUST**, **MUST NOT**, **REQUIRED**, **SHOULD**, **SHOULD NOT**,
+and **MAY** are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 when they appear in
+all capitals.
+
+## Purpose and scope
+
+This specification covers:
+
+- durable registration and execution of bounded data backfills;
+- exclusive claims, crash recovery, retry, pause, and validation;
+- atomic target mutations and checkpoint progress;
+- independent schema-migration and automatic-backfill controls;
+- readiness behavior in automatic and manual modes;
+- an authorized, auditable admin API and client; and
+- conformance tests at production transaction, startup, and admin seams.
+
+It does not define:
+
+- schema migration mechanics or a generic migration framework;
+- a Nostr event kind or other wire protocol;
+- a distributed queue as durable state;
+- exactly-once worker code outside a PostgreSQL transaction;
+- one universal batch size, timeout, or retry schedule;
+- a way for a backfill to make an incompatible application schema safe; or
+- destructive controls that erase, rewind, or force completion.
+
+Backfill definitions are application code, not runtime-authored migrations.
+
+## Core model
+
+### Terms
+
+| Term | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| **Definition** | Application code that declares an ID, ordering key, batch bound, mutation, and validation. |
+| **Stable ID** | The only identity for execution, administration, validation, completion, and readiness. |
+| **Upper bound** | The inclusive, definition-typed end of the finite source set. It is captured once. |
+| **Checkpoint** | The greatest source position whose required mutation is durably committed or was deterministically unnecessary. |
+| **Claim** | Temporary, exclusive PostgreSQL authority for one worker to advance a backfill. |
+| **Generation** | A monotonically increasing value that fences work from a stale claim. |
+| **Validation** | Definition-specific proof that work through the upper bound has the required postcondition. |
+| **Required automatic backfill** | A stable ID that the deployed application includes in automatic startup readiness. |
+
+### PostgreSQL authority
+
+PostgreSQL MUST be the sole authority for lifecycle, ownership, progress,
+retry eligibility, diagnostics, validation, and completion. A queue, timer,
+cache, notification, or in-process registry MAY wake a worker. Loss, delay,
+duplication, or replay of that signal MUST NOT affect correctness. A worker
+MUST re-read PostgreSQL before acting.
+
+The row for a stable ID MUST remain compact. It records the lifecycle, immutable
+bound, monotonic checkpoint, claim and generation, bounded retry and diagnostic
+state, validation, timestamps, and audit correlation. Bounded definition
+metadata MAY be stored for diagnostics. Detailed history belongs in the audit
+facility, not an unbounded per-batch journal. Telemetry is a projection, not
+another state store.
+
+### Stable identity and registration
+
+Each definition MUST declare a stable ID. A stable ID MUST map to exactly one
+durable row and at most one readiness obligation across builds and deployments.
+Validated completion MUST be permanent for that ID.
+
+Registration and reconciliation MUST be idempotent upserts by stable ID.
+Repeated registration MUST NOT create another execution. Registration signals
+may arrive late, more than once, or out of order; the durable state MUST still
+converge on one row and one readiness obligation. For registration-owned
+diagnostic metadata, the last registration wins.
+
+Registration order, revision strings, build metadata, and version metadata
+MUST NOT select a runnable definition or establish execution precedence. They
+MUST NOT create another row, checkpoint, completion, or readiness obligation.
+
+Every process allowed to work on an active ID MUST implement the same behavior:
+the same source set, ordering and checkpoint meaning, mutation, and validation
+contract. A material change to any of those semantics MUST use a new stable ID.
+Registering different behavior under an active ID is operator error; the
+orchestrator MUST NOT compare or choose between definitions.
+
+### Rolling deployments
+
+A process MUST reconcile its definitions by stable ID before claiming work.
+Any process with a compatible local definition MAY claim eligible work,
+regardless of registration order or diagnostic metadata. A process MUST fail
+closed if it does not know the definition or cannot safely interpret the row's
+bound, checkpoint, lifecycle, and completion contract.
+
+Deploying another compatible process does not revoke an existing claim. Its
+owner MAY commit while the claim and generation remain valid. If the deployment
+cannot accept that commit, its semantics are materially different and require a
+new stable ID. Deployment order, binary age, and metadata MUST NOT act as fences.
+
+An exclusive claim authorizes one compatible worker. Generations reject stale
+owners. These mechanisms MUST NOT establish definition precedence.
+
+Before starting a backfill, deploy and fully roll out the normal write path
+that maintains the desired postcondition. Operators MUST ensure old writers
+and in-flight old behavior no longer produce actionable rows, then start the
+bounded historical repair. This ordering is an operator and developer
+responsibility, not a condition the backfill framework verifies. If it is
+violated, the existing checkpoint may have advanced past writes that were
+never repaired, and no rerun under the same stable ID can revisit them.
+Operators must run a new repair under a new stable ID, and may need to repeat
+that process until the normal write path is safe.
+
+## Lifecycle and operator actions
+
+One state machine governs automatic and manual execution:
+
+| State | Meaning | Next states |
+|---|---|---|
+| `pending` | Registered but not started; no bound exists. | `running` |
+| `running` | Started and eligible for a worker claim, subject to retry backoff. | `paused`, `blocked`, `failed`, `validating` |
+| `paused` | Operator intent prevents claims and fences current work. | `running`, `validating` |
+| `blocked` | A prerequisite or data condition needs operator remediation. | `running`, `validating` |
+| `failed` | Execution exhausted bounded retries, or validation failed. | `running`, `validating` |
+| `validating` | Mutation reached the bound and is eligible for validation. | `paused`, `completed`, `failed`, `blocked` |
+| `completed` | Validation succeeded. This state is terminal. | none |
+
+The supported operator actions are:
+
+| Action | Contract |
+|---|---|
+| `start` | From `pending`, atomically capture the upper bound and enter `running` before dispatching work. |
+| `pause` | From `running` or `validating`, atomically enter `paused`, advance the generation, and invalidate the claim. |
+| `resume` | From `paused`, enter `running`, or `validating` when no admitted work remains. |
+| `retry` | From `blocked` or `failed`, enter `running`, or `validating` when no admitted work remains, at the existing bound and checkpoint. |
+| `validate` | For `pending`, return `current-state`. For any other row, use the read-only validation contract below. |
+
+Repeated `pause` and `resume` requests MUST converge on the requested state.
+Neither action changes the bound or checkpoint. There is no separate retrying
+or cancellation state. Retry eligibility and delay are attributes of `running`;
+`pause` is the safe interruption command.
+
+An in-flight batch either commits before `pause` or fails the generation fence
+and rolls back. Previously committed batches remain committed.
+
+### Retry, blockage, and failure
+
+The engine MUST durably classify an execution error before reporting it as
+handled. Retryable errors remain `running` without a claim until bounded
+backoff permits another claim. Automatic retries MUST be bounded and
+end in a terminal `failed` or `blocked` disposition instead of a hot loop.
+
+An unmet prerequisite or data invariant enters `blocked` with a bounded,
+actionable diagnostic. Exhausted execution errors enter `failed`. Validation
+failure enters `failed`, unless it identifies an unmet prerequisite and enters
+`blocked` instead.
+
+`retry` is fresh operator intent. It MAY clear bounded attempt accounting and
+stale diagnostics. It MUST preserve history, the bound, and the checkpoint, and
+MUST NOT bypass validation.
+
+### Validation and completion
+
+Reaching the upper bound MUST enter `validating`, not `completed`. Validation
+MUST read authoritative PostgreSQL state, cover the postcondition through the
+bound, and be safe to repeat after a crash.
+
+Only successful validation MAY transition the row to `completed`. The
+completion transaction MUST verify the lifecycle and generation so a stale
+validator cannot complete a paused or retried run. Operators cannot select
+`completed`, and completed state MUST remain immutable.
+
+## Execution safety
+
+### Finite source set and checkpoint
+
+Before the first mutation, `start` MUST capture an upper bound in the same
+transaction that initiates execution. The definition MUST state how the bound
+represents an empty source set. Once captured, the bound MUST NOT be changed or
+reinterpreted for that stable ID.
+
+The definition MUST use a checkpoint type with a total, stable ordering. The
+checkpoint MUST be inclusive. Before the first source item commits, the
+checkpoint MAY be absent; absence means a position before all admitted work,
+not a worker-supplied text sentinel.
+
+The checkpoint MUST NOT move backward or beyond the upper bound. A worker MUST
+select positions strictly after the checkpoint and no later than the bound. If
+the ordering key is not unique, the definition MUST use a stable compound key
+that cannot ambiguously skip or repeat tied rows.
+
+Rows created beyond the upper bound MUST be handled by normal write paths or a
+new backfill ID. Application reads and writes MUST remain correct for both
+repaired and unrepaired rows during execution.
+
+Rationale: the upper bound makes historical repair finite and separates it from
+live writes.
+
+### Bounded batches
+
+Each definition MUST declare a finite maximum amount of work per batch. The
+production selection and mutation path MUST enforce it. Any work that could
+grow with the source set MUST have that bound or a stricter finite bound.
+
+Batch transactions and lock-holding intervals MUST have bounded duration.
+Workers MUST observe cancellation, timeout, and pause intent at transaction and
+batch boundaries. They MUST NOT start another batch after observing that intent,
+and an interrupted transaction MUST roll back.
+
+If a work, transaction, lock, or interruption bound cannot be honored, the
+engine MUST commit neither partial mutations nor a checkpoint. It MUST apply
+the bounded failure policy instead of widening the batch or continuing without
+a bound.
+
+### Atomic mutation and progress
+
+Every batch MUST commit its target mutations and checkpoint advance in one
+PostgreSQL transaction. A mutation, checkpoint, ownership, commit,
+cancellation, or timeout failure MUST roll back both.
+
+Rationale: this transaction keeps committed mutations from being hidden behind
+an older checkpoint and keeps the checkpoint from claiming rolled-back work.
+Definitions SHOULD still make mutations idempotent as defense in depth.
+
+Side effects that cannot join the transaction are outside the backfill commit.
+They MUST NOT be required for the checkpoint to mean complete.
+
+### Exclusive claims and generation fencing
+
+A backfill MUST NOT have more than one current claim. Acquisition, renewal,
+release, and takeover MUST be PostgreSQL state transitions. Each new claim or
+takeover MUST advance the generation. An admin transition that invalidates
+in-flight work MUST also advance it.
+
+Every transaction that changes target data or progress, or commits a validation
+or lifecycle result that can advance execution, MUST verify before commit that:
+
+- the lifecycle permits the operation; and
+- the presented generation equals the current generation.
+
+A claim-authorized worker execution commit MUST additionally verify that:
+
+- the presented owner holds the current claim; and
+- the claim remains valid.
+
+Operator transitions and diagnostic validation do not require a claim. Operator
+actions remain lifecycle- and generation-fenced, as do validation or completion
+results that advance execution.
+
+Failure of any applicable check MUST reject the entire transaction. For a
+claim-authorized worker, checking only before work starts is insufficient
+because a paused, expired, or replaced owner may finish after takeover.
+
+Claims MUST have bounded validity and require renewal. Takeover MUST eventually
+be possible after renewal stops. PostgreSQL time and state decide validity;
+worker-local clocks do not grant authority.
+
+### Release, crash, and takeover
+
+A worker MAY release a claim while the row remains `running`. A crash leaves
+either a committed batch or no batch effect. After the abandoned claim expires,
+another worker advances the generation and resumes strictly after the committed
+checkpoint.
+
+The old worker may keep computing, but its later transaction MUST fail the
+generation check. Takeover MUST NOT rewind the checkpoint, recapture the bound,
+or infer progress from worker memory.
+
+## Configuration and readiness
+
+Schema auto-migration and automatic backfills are independent controls. All
+four configurations are valid:
+
+| Schema auto-migration | Automatic backfills | Required behavior |
+|---|---|---|
+| off | off | The relay MUST run no migrations, MUST NOT start `pending` backfills, and MUST NOT add a backfill readiness gate. Already-started manual work MUST remain recoverable. The installed schema and application MUST serve safely with incomplete data. |
+| off | on | The relay MUST run no migrations. With a compatible installed schema, it MUST start required backfills and remain unready until they reach `completed`. Missing required schema is a schema-compatibility failure; a backfill MUST NOT replace migration. |
+| on | off | The relay MUST run migrations, but MUST NOT start `pending` backfills or add a backfill readiness gate. Operators run them manually while the application serves mixed repaired and unrepaired data. Already-started work MUST remain recoverable. |
+| on | on | The relay MUST run migrations, then required backfills, and remain unready until every required backfill reaches `completed`. |
+
+Automatic mode assumes the rollout prerequisite above is already satisfied. A
+required automatic backfill MUST ship in a release after its prerequisite write
+path is fully rolled out and old writer behavior is drained. A definition that
+ships with its prerequisite write-path change MUST NOT auto-start in that
+release; an operator MUST start it manually only after rollout completion.
+
+In automatic mode, every required `pending`, `running`, `paused`, `blocked`,
+`failed`, or `validating` row MUST keep the serving gate closed. The relay MUST
+register the complete set of required stable IDs before evaluating that gate.
+A restart MUST reconstruct the gate from PostgreSQL; late discovery MUST NOT
+create a ready interval.
+
+The authorized deployment-admin boundary MUST remain reachable while the
+ordinary serving readiness gate is closed so operators can inspect and recover
+incomplete backfills.
+
+In manual mode, incomplete backfills MUST NOT make the relay unready. This is
+safe only when application reads and writes work correctly before, during, and
+after the repair. A schema change that cannot serve safely until its backfill
+finishes does not conform to manual mode.
+
+Turning automatic backfills off prevents automatic initiation of `pending`
+rows. It does not abandon `running` or `validating` work. Workers MUST recover
+or take over already-started work after failure without adding a readiness gate;
+an operator MAY pause it.
+
+Backfill readiness is only one input to the serving decision. Database, cache,
+deletion-fence, shutdown, and schema-safety checks remain independent.
+
+## Admin and client contract
+
+The relay admin API is the external boundary. The client and operator tools
+MUST project its PostgreSQL-backed state and invoke the lifecycle actions above;
+they MUST NOT keep another lifecycle or synthesize outcomes.
+
+### Read model and honest projection
+
+Authorized list and detail reads MUST expose:
+
+- stable IDs and bounded informational definition metadata;
+- lifecycle, bound, checkpoint-derived progress, ownership, retry eligibility,
+  and timestamps;
+- bounded execution and validation diagnostics;
+- the latest explicit validation disposition, outcome, and time; and
+- participation in the automatic readiness gate.
+
+Unknown totals, unavailable diagnostics, and failed or stale reads MUST remain
+unknown. The UI MUST NOT render them as zero, complete, healthy, or offline.
+The server MUST derive current status from PostgreSQL on each read. A client MAY
+cache for presentation, but a failed refresh does not make cached data current.
+
+### Control idempotency
+
+The API and client MUST support exactly the lifecycle actions listed above.
+They MUST be safe under retries, duplicate delivery, concurrent operators, and
+a response lost after commit. Repeating one logical request MUST return its
+original result or the converged state without duplicating a transition,
+recapturing a bound, reusing a generation, or starting another owner.
+Conflicting requests MUST return a typed conflict with current server state.
+
+In manual mode, `start` is the durable intent that separates recoverable work
+from registered `pending` work that automatic configuration MUST leave alone.
+
+The normal API MUST NOT expose reset, checkpoint rewind, bound changes, record
+deletion, force completion, unfenced claim release, or generic cancellation.
+Incompatible work uses a new stable ID. Destructive recovery requires a
+separate specification.
+
+### Explicit validation
+
+`validate` requests definition-owned, read-only validation against PostgreSQL.
+It is not a second lifecycle or an operator-selected completion transition.
+
+The API MUST return exactly one of these typed outcomes:
+
+| Outcome | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `success` | Validation ran and the postcondition held. |
+| `failure` | Validation ran and rejected the state, with a bounded diagnostic. |
+| `current-state` | Validation did not run or has no result yet; the response includes the lifecycle and reason without implying success or failure. |
+
+A `pending` row MUST return `current-state` without running validation. Any
+other row MAY be validated. When the row is `validating` and
+completion preconditions hold, the request MAY drive the same generation-fenced
+completion transition used by the lifecycle. In every other state, validation
+is diagnostic and MUST NOT change the lifecycle, bound, checkpoint, generation,
+or target data.
+
+Revalidating a completed row MUST report a current failure as `failure` while
+leaving immutable completion and progress unchanged.
+
+Only one validation invocation per stable ID MAY run at a time. Duplicate
+delivery of one logical request MUST return its original bounded outcome or a
+correlated `current-state` result. Concurrent requests MUST join the active
+invocation or return `current-state`. After a lost response, retrying the same
+request MUST recover the outcome. The client MUST retry or refresh; it MUST NOT
+infer the outcome.
+
+Diagnostic validation MUST persist only its bounded outcome, request
+correlation, and audit record. It MUST NOT require or create an execution claim.
+It MUST remain serialized, operator-authorized, read-only, and unable to change
+immutable execution state.
+
+Accepted, rejected, coalesced, and completed validation requests MUST be audited
+with request correlation, actor, stable ID, evaluated lifecycle, and bounded
+outcome. Audit recording MUST NOT turn validation into a target-data write.
+
+### Authorization and audit
+
+Backfills are deployment-wide operational state. Reads and controls MUST
+require an explicit deployment-operator capability at the relay admin boundary.
+Community ownership, channel administration, and membership MUST NOT grant this
+authority. A protected network boundary MAY supply equivalent authority, but
+the deployment MUST NOT claim individual attribution it does not have.
+
+Every accepted or rejected control attempt MUST be audited with the actor or
+authority source, stable ID, request correlation, prior and resulting state,
+claim generation when relevant, time, and a bounded outcome. An accepted state
+change and its audit record, or durable intent to append that record, MUST commit
+atomically. An unaudited change is not success.
+
+Diagnostics in the API, audit, and logs MUST be bounded and redacted. They MUST
+NOT expose raw source rows, credentials, unbounded database errors, or query
+text. Detailed diagnostic reads SHOULD be observable without logging row data.
+
+### Observability
+
+Operators MUST be able to distinguish:
+
+- lifecycle counts and readiness-gating disposition;
+- claim acquisition, renewal, loss, takeover, and stale-owner rejection;
+- attempted and committed work, checkpoint movement, and lack of progress;
+- retryable errors, blockage, exhausted failure, and validation outcomes; and
+- execution and validation duration.
+
+Metric labels MUST use bounded vocabularies. Stable IDs, checkpoints, row
+values, diagnostics, and actor IDs belong in authorized views and structured
+logs, not labels. Missing telemetry is unknown. Metrics and logs MUST reconcile
+with PostgreSQL state and MUST NOT authorize transitions.
+
+## Conformance tests
+
+Tests MUST exercise production transaction, startup, admin, and client seams.
+They MUST be falsifiable: removing the relevant bound, atomic write, fence,
+authorization check, or readiness input MUST fail a test. Test-only lifecycle
+helpers do not prove conformance.
+
+At minimum, the suite covers:
+
+1. **Claim race.** Concurrent workers contend for one row. Only one worker owns
+   the current claim and commits under its generation; eventual takeover
+   preserves the checkpoint.
+2. **Bounded batch.** A source set larger than one batch advances only within
+   the declared batch bound before releasing the transaction. Cancellation or
+   timeout rolls back target mutations and checkpoint. Removing production
+   bound enforcement fails the test.
+3. **Rollback.** Failure after mutation but before commit, including checkpoint
+   failure, leaves target data and checkpoint unchanged.
+4. **Restart.** Termination before and after batch commit, and during validation,
+   rebuilds progress from PostgreSQL without recapturing the bound.
+5. **Stale owner.** Pause, expiry, or takeover while a worker is in flight
+   rejects its mutation, checkpoint, validation, and completion at commit.
+6. **Rolling deployment.** Two compatible processes register the same stable ID
+   in either order and retain one row and readiness obligation. Either MAY win
+   an exclusive claim. After takeover, generation fencing rejects the prior
+   owner's writes. A process that does not know the stable ID cannot claim. The
+   test MUST NOT choose by registration order or metadata, or assert definition
+   precedence.
+7. **Validation.** Reaching the bound cannot complete without validation.
+   Failure is durable and repeatable; only success reaches immutable completion.
+8. **Bounded failure.** Persistent errors reach `failed` or `blocked` instead of
+   retrying forever. Operator retry preserves the bound and checkpoint.
+9. **Admin authorization.** Unauthorized reads and controls return no protected
+   state and perform no mutation. Community roles grant no authority.
+10. **Admin idempotency.** Duplicate, concurrent, and lost-response requests do
+    not duplicate starts, reuse generations, or recapture bounds. Conflicts
+    return current state.
+11. **Explicit validation.** Start with a `completed` row and no execution claim.
+    Through the production API and client, run validation, persist and display
+    its current typed outcome, and write its audit record. It creates no claim
+    and does not change the generation, target data, lifecycle, bound,
+    checkpoint, or completion. The API and client also render all typed outcomes
+    for non-`pending` rows. Unauthorized, duplicate, concurrent, and
+    lost-response requests follow the contract above. Removing serialization,
+    read-only behavior, or an immutable-state guard fails the test.
+12. **Client projection.** The UI preserves unknown and failure states and sends
+    only supported controls.
+13. **Configuration matrix.** All four configurations run through real startup
+    and readiness paths. Automatic mode gates until validation, manual mode does
+    not add the gate, and schema safety remains independent. Automatic mode
+    also exercises authorized inspection and recovery from `paused`, `blocked`,
+    and `failed` through the production admin boundary while ordinary serving
+    remains gated.
+
+PostgreSQL concurrency tests SHOULD use controlled transaction barriers so
+losing and stale commits are observed rather than inferred from timing.
+
+## Component mapping
+
+| Responsibility | Buzz component |
+|---|---|
+| Stable-ID registration, lifecycle, durable store, claims, fencing, checkpoints, retry, and validation | The new `buzz-backfill` crate owns the domain and persistence. |
+| Database and transaction primitives for atomic mutation and checkpoint progress | `buzz-db` provides narrow primitives. It does not own backfill records, policy, or orchestration, and it does not expose its connection pool. |
+| Discovery, automatic execution, configuration, startup ordering, and readiness | `buzz-relay` composes the engine with startup and serving coordination. |
+| Authorized reads, lifecycle actions, validation, audit, conflicts, and diagnostics | Relay deployment-admin interfaces expose the contract; tools use them instead of accessing tables. |
+| List, detail, progress, diagnostics, readiness, and controls | The desktop/admin client projects relay state and never stores another lifecycle. |
+
+This keeps the repository's focused-crate architecture: the relay orchestrates,
+the backfill crate owns its domain, and the database crate provides general
+transaction infrastructure. Backfill administration remains an operator admin
+concern; it does not add a Nostr event or NIP.

 **Non-goal: side-band existence oracles.** Reaction, report, and event-deletion validation resolves target events by id to check that they exist. These paths intentionally accept arbitrary event references by design — they leak one bit (existence) but never content, and exploiting them requires already possessing a 64-hex event id that unshared personas never expose through any gated read path. Gating these side-band resolvers would require teaching reaction/report validation about persona read semantics with no realistic attack mitigated.

+The two Inter 4.001 variable fonts are derived from the previously bundled
+fonts by removing only U+2764 and U+26A0 from their Unicode character maps.
+Flutter can then choose a native font for heart and warning characters,
+including emoji presentation
+in reactions and message text. No glyphs, language coverage, other symbols,
+font metrics, or variation tables are removed. The license remains in
+`Inter-LICENSE.txt`.
+
+To reproduce from the repository root:
+
+```sh
+mkdir -p /tmp/buzz-inter-source
+for font in InterVariable.ttf InterVariable-Italic.ttf; do
+  git show ec7ea38f62ea917f15e85a678bc94f3bbee5bb64:mobile/assets/fonts/$font > /tmp/buzz-inter-source/$font
+done
+python3 -m venv /tmp/buzz-inter-tools
+/tmp/buzz-inter-tools/bin/pip install fonttools==4.60.1
+/tmp/buzz-inter-tools/bin/python mobile/scripts/prepare-inter.py /tmp/buzz-inter-source
+/tmp/buzz-inter-tools/bin/python mobile/scripts/prepare-inter.py /tmp/buzz-inter-source --check
+```
+
+The script checks pristine source hashes and verifies every character mapping
+and every other font table. Only the `cmap` table and the font checksum may
+change. Repeated generation from the same sources produces identical bytes.
+©, ®, ™, arrows, math symbols, accents, and supported languages
+keep their original Inter mappings.
+
+Use `test/visual/heart_sim_app.dart` on an actual iOS simulator to compare
+reactions, plain/emoji/text-presentation hearts, bold/italic message text,
+warning signs, and preserved symbols. Font fallback for plain and explicit
+text-presentation hearts and warnings is platform-dependent; do not infer their appearance
+from a macOS widget-test renderer. On iOS 26.5, all three heart and warning
+presentations fall back to the color emoji, including explicit VS15. Message line metrics
+can change with the fallback font.
+
+The native screenshot regression check (requires Pillow) covers both reaction
+states, each heart and warning presentation, bold/italic text, and unchanged
+symbols:
+
+```sh
+python3 mobile/test/visual/verify_heart_screenshots.py before.png after.png
+```
+
+Use original 1206×2622 captures from the documented simulator and fixture for
+this check. PR images may be cropped afterward for readability.
+
+`test/shared/fonts/inter_assets_test.dart` pins the verified generated font
+artifacts in the existing Flutter test lane. Restoring either original font or
+changing any other font data fails CI. When upgrading Inter, verify the
+transformation and native rendering before updating the expected digests.
