refactor(git-sync): DRY the move+body emission; cover M-side ghost-move (F7,F8)

F8: extract emitMoveWithBody helper (renamesMoves + body update with
    basePath=oldPath) and call it at all three rename emission sites (ghost-move
    A, ghost-move M, R/C) — byte-identical behavior, single F4 rationale. Helper
    placed above computePushActions so the planner JSDoc stays attached.
F7: add an M-side ghost-move test (D+M same pageId) asserting the move and the
    body update carry basePath=oldPath — the previously-untested branch.

 The API server is a Fastify app with a global `/api` prefix (`main.ts` excludes `robots.txt`, public share pages, and `mcp` from the prefix). A `preHandler` hook enforces that a resolved `workspaceId` exists for most `/api` routes (multi-tenant by hostname/subdomain via `DomainMiddleware`). Auth is JWT (cookie + bearer); authorization is **CASL** (`core/casl`) — every data access is scoped to the user's abilities.
 
+Two routes are mounted **outside** the `/api` prefix at the root, as raw Fastify routes that bypass the Nest pipeline (so neither `DomainMiddleware` nor `ThrottlerGuard` runs for them — each resolves the workspace and throttles itself): `/mcp` (the embedded MCP server, see below) and `/git/<spaceId>.git/...` (the git-sync smart-HTTP host, see below).

 ### The two AI subsystems (the main fork additions)
-1. **Embedded MCP server** (`integrations/mcp/` + `packages/mcp`). The standalone `@docmost/mcp` server (38 agent-native tools: per-block patch/insert/delete by id, scripted `(doc)=>doc` transforms with dry-run diff, table editing, version diff/restore, comments, images, shares) is bundled and served over HTTP at `/mcp`. It writes through Docmost's real-time-collaboration layer so concurrent human edits aren't clobbered. Each request authenticates **per-user** via the `Authorization` header — either HTTP Basic (`base64(email:password)`, the user's own Docmost login, validated through `AuthService`) or a Bearer access JWT (the user's `authToken`) — and the session acts under that user's permissions. `MCP_DOCMOST_EMAIL` / `MCP_DOCMOST_PASSWORD` are an **optional service-account fallback**, used only when a request carries neither Basic nor Bearer credentials (back-compat for CI/scripts). An admin enables MCP with a workspace toggle (Workspace settings → AI). Optionally protected by a shared `MCP_TOKEN`: when set, every `/mcp` request must carry a matching `X-MCP-Token` header (its own header, separate from `Authorization`, which now carries the per-user Basic/Bearer credentials). Note: this changed from the older `Authorization: Bearer <MCP_TOKEN>` scheme — see `.env.example` and the CHANGELOG Breaking Changes entry.

Note: this changed from the older `Authorization: Bearer <MCP_TOKEN>` scheme — see `.env.example` and the CHANGELOG Breaking Changes entry.
 2. **AI agent chat** (`core/ai-chat/` server + `apps/client/src/features/ai-chat/` client). A built-in agent over the wiki using the Vercel **AI SDK** (`ai`, `@ai-sdk/*`) against any OpenAI-compatible provider configured per workspace (`integrations/ai/` — credentials encrypted at rest via `integrations/crypto`, stored in `ai_provider_credentials`). Key pieces:
    - `core/ai-chat/tools/` — the agent's ~40 read+write tools. Every tool runs under the **calling user's** CASL permissions via a per-user loopback access token (`docmost-client.loader.ts`), so the agent can never exceed what the user could do. Only **reversible** operations are exposed (page history + trash; no permanent delete). Agent edits get an "AI agent" provenance badge in page history (`20260616T130000-agent-provenance` migration).
    - `core/ai-chat/embedding/` — RAG indexer + a BullMQ consumer on `AI_QUEUE` that embeds pages into `page_embeddings` (vector search), complementing Postgres full-text search. Pages are (re)indexed on edit; `AI_EMBEDDING_TIMEOUT_MS` bounds a hung embeddings endpoint.
    - `core/ai-chat/external-mcp/` — admins can attach external MCP servers (e.g. Tavily) to give the agent web access. **`ssrf-guard.ts` validates outbound MCP URLs against SSRF** — keep that guard in the path when touching external-MCP connection logic.
 
+### Git-sync (native two-way Docmost ↔ git Markdown sync)
+`integrations/git-sync/` (`GitSyncModule`) + the vendored pure engine in `packages/git-sync`. Off by default; gated by the `GIT_SYNC_ENABLED` master switch (and `GIT_SYNC_SERVICE_USER_ID`, the account git-originated writes are attributed to). Per-space opt-in via `space.settings.gitSync.enabled`, with a second per-space toggle `space.settings.gitSync.autoMergeConflicts` that changes PUSH behavior for a still-conflicted page (one carrying `<<<<<<<`/`>>>>>>>` markers): **off (the safe default)** records a per-page failure and holds the refs so the user resolves the git conflict first (markers never reach Docmost); **on** strips the marker lines and pushes both sides' content. Each enabled space gets an on-disk working "vault" repo; the `GitSyncOrchestrator` runs a debounced + poll-backstop reconcile cycle (PULL Docmost→vault, PUSH vault→Docmost) under a per-space Redis leader lock + in-process mutex (`SpaceLockService`). Writes go through the collaboration layer (so concurrent human edits aren't clobbered) and are stamped `lastUpdatedSource = 'git-sync'` for the listener loop-guard. The in-process `setInterval` orchestration + best-effort lock (no fencing tokens) is a known multi-replica limitation — BullMQ + fencing is the documented future direction.
+
+- **`/git` smart-HTTP host** (`integrations/git-sync/http/`, gated additionally by `GIT_SYNC_HTTP_ENABLED`, which defaults to `GIT_SYNC_ENABLED`): a raw root-mounted Fastify route `/git/<spaceId>.git/...` (registered in `main.ts`, NOT under `/api`) that bridges `git clone`/`fetch`/`push` to `git http-backend`. It authenticates HTTP Basic against `AuthService` (throttled by a `FailedLoginLimiter` mirroring the `/mcp` path), authorizes via `SpaceAbilityFactory` (read = fetch, Manage = push), and gates existence so a non-member gets the SAME 404 as a missing/sync-disabled space (never 403 — that would leak space existence). A push runs the receive-pack under the space lock, then a reconcile cycle.
+- **Schema mirror:** `packages/git-sync/src/lib/docmost-schema.ts` is one of the **three** hand-synced copies of the Tiptap document schema (see Client structure) — keep it in lockstep with `editor-ext` (canonical) and `packages/mcp`.

 - **TanStack Query** for server state (one `queries/` file per feature), **Jotai** atoms for local/shared UI state, **Mantine 8** + CSS modules (`*.module.css`) + `postcss-preset-mantine` for UI.
-- The editor is Tiptap; shared node/mark extensions live in `packages/editor-ext` and are imported by **both the client and the server** (collaboration, import/export) — editor schema changes often need to be made in `editor-ext`, not just the client. Note `packages/mcp` does *not* depend on `editor-ext`; it carries its own mirrored copy of the schema, so keep the two in sync manually when the document schema changes.

 - Runtime config is injected at build time by `vite.config.ts` via `define` (`APP_URL`, `COLLAB_URL`, `APP_VERSION`, …) — these come from the root `.env`, not from `import.meta.env`.

 ### Cutting a release
 
-The git tag is the source of truth for the displayed version (UI reads `git describe --tags`); the `package.json` bump is metadata only. Steps:
+The git tag is the source of truth for the displayed version (the client UI reads `git describe --tags` via `vite.config.ts`); the `package.json` bump is metadata that backs the server `/version` endpoint (`version.service.ts`).
 
-1. Make sure `main` is clean and pushed (`git status`, `git push`).
+**Golden rule — tag on `develop` first, merge to `main` afterwards.** Cut the version-bump commit on `develop`, put the tag on *that* commit, and push it. Merge `develop` into `main` later (it does not block the tag or the release). Because the tag is in `develop`'s ancestry from the moment it is created, `git describe` on `develop` — and the `ghcr.io/vvzvlad/gitmost:develop` image — reports the new version immediately, with **no back-merge dance**. Do **not** tag `main`'s merge commit; that is the mistake described in the pitfall below (we hit it twice).
+
+Steps:
+
+1. Make sure `develop` is up to date, clean, and pushed to **both** remotes (`git status`; `git push gitea develop && git push github develop`).
 2. Pick `vX.Y.Z` (SemVer): **minor** bump for a batch of features, **patch** for fixes only. Review what landed with `git log <last-tag>..HEAD --no-merges`.
-3. Bump `"version"` to `X.Y.Z` in the **root** `package.json`, `apps/client/package.json`, and `apps/server/package.json` (keep all three in sync). Leave `packages/mcp` alone — it is versioned independently. Commit with the bare version as the subject, e.g. `0.91.0` (matches past bump commits).
-4. Update `CHANGELOG.md` (Keep a Changelog format): add a `## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD` section summarising `git log vPREV..HEAD --no-merges` grouped by type (Breaking / Added / Changed / Fixed / Removed), and add the `compare/vPREV...vX.Y.Z` link at the bottom. Fold the bump + changelog into the release commit.
-5. Tag the release commit with a **lightweight** tag (existing release tags are lightweight): `git tag vX.Y.Z`.
-6. Push commit and tag: `git push origin main && git push origin vX.Y.Z`. Pushing the `v*` tag triggers `release.yml` (multi-arch GHCR images + a draft GitHub Release).
-7. **Back-merge the release into `develop`** so develop builds report the new version: `git checkout develop && git merge --no-ff main && git push origin develop` (push to Gitea as well if that is the canonical remote).
+3. Bump `"version"` to `X.Y.Z` in the **root** `package.json`, `apps/client/package.json`, and `apps/server/package.json` (keep all three in sync). Leave `packages/mcp` alone — it is versioned independently. Commit **on `develop`** with the bare version as the subject, e.g. `0.94.1` (matches past bump commits).
+4. For a real release (skip for a bare hotfix tag), update `CHANGELOG.md` (Keep a Changelog format): add a `## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD` section summarising `git log vPREV..HEAD --no-merges` grouped by type (Breaking / Added / Changed / Fixed / Removed), and the `compare/vPREV...vX.Y.Z` link at the bottom. Fold it into the bump commit.
+5. Tag that develop commit with a **lightweight** tag (existing release tags are lightweight): `git tag vX.Y.Z`.
+6. Push the branch **and** the tag to **both** writable remotes — `git push <branch>` does **not** push tags, and tags are per-remote:
+   ```bash
+   git push gitea develop && git push gitea vX.Y.Z
+   git push github develop && git push github vX.Y.Z
+   ```
+   Pushing the `v*` tag to `github` triggers `release.yml` (multi-arch GHCR images + a draft GitHub Release). The tag *must* exist on `github`, because the `:develop` and release images are built there by GitHub Actions and `git describe` on the runner only sees the tags present on `github` (not your local clone or `gitea`).
+7. Merge `develop` into `main` when ready (commonly later — this does not gate the release):
+   ```bash
+   git checkout main
+   git merge --ff-only develop   # or a merge commit if fast-forward is not possible
+   git push gitea main && git push github main
+   ```
+   The tag is already reachable from `main` (it lives in the `develop` history that `main` now contains), so `main` reports `vX.Y.Z` too — no extra tagging needed.
 
-#### Why develop keeps showing the *previous* version (and why step 7 matters)
+#### Pitfall: tagging `main` instead of `develop` (the mistake to avoid)
 
-The UI version is `git describe --tags --always` (see `vite.config.ts`), which walks **backwards from the current commit** and picks the **nearest tag reachable in that commit's ancestry**, then appends `-<commits-since-tag>-g<short-hash>`.
+`git describe --tags --always` (see `vite.config.ts`) walks **backwards from the current commit** and picks the **nearest tag reachable in that commit's ancestry**, then appends `-<commits-since-tag>-g<short-hash>`.
 
-The release tag (`vX.Y.Z`) is created on **`main`'s release merge commit**, and that commit is **not** in `develop`'s history. So until the release is back-merged, `git describe` on `develop` cannot see the new tag and falls back to the *previous* reachable tag. Result: every develop build — and the `ghcr.io/vvzvlad/gitmost:develop` image — keeps reporting e.g. `v0.91.0-NNN-g<hash>` even though `main` is already tagged `v0.93.0`. This is the classic git-flow pitfall: the version on `develop` does **not** advance just because a release was tagged on `main`.
+The wrong flow we fell into twice: merge `develop` into `main` *first*, then tag `main`'s **release merge commit**. That merge commit is **not** in `develop`'s history, so `git describe` on `develop` cannot see the new tag and falls back to the *previous* reachable one. Result: every develop build — and the `ghcr.io/vvzvlad/gitmost:develop` image — keeps reporting e.g. `v0.93.0-NNN-g<hash>` even though a release was "cut". Tagging on `develop` (the golden rule above) avoids this entirely: the tag is in `develop`'s ancestry from the start, and `main` still gets it once `develop` is merged in.
 
-Back-merging `main → develop` (step 7) pulls the tagged release commit into `develop`'s ancestry, after which develop builds correctly show `vX.Y.Z-NNN-g<hash>`. If `develop` already drifted (release tagged but never back-merged), just run step 7 now — no new tag is needed.
+Second gotcha — the tag must exist on the remote CI builds from. `git describe` names a tag **ref**, not just a commit. The `:develop` and release images are built by GitHub Actions (`develop.yml` / `release.yml`, `actions/checkout` with `fetch-depth: 0`), so the version they print depends on which tags exist **on the `github` remote** — not on your local clone or on `gitea`. `git push <branch>` does **not** push tags; push them explicitly to **each** remote (`gitea` and `github`). A tag that only lives on `gitea` is invisible to the GitHub build.
 
-##### The tag must also exist on the remote that CI builds from (multi-remote gotcha)
+If you already tagged `main` (or `develop` still shows the old version), recover without re-tagging:
 
-`git describe` names a tag **ref**, not just a commit — so the back-merge is *necessary but not sufficient*. The develop image is built by GitHub Actions (`develop.yml`, `actions/checkout` with `fetch-depth: 0`, then `git describe --tags --always`), so the version it prints depends on which tags exist **on the `github` remote**, not on your local clone or on `gitea`.
+1. Make the tagged commit reachable from `develop` — either back-merge `main → develop` (`git checkout develop && git merge --no-ff main`), or confirm the tagged commit is already an ancestor of `develop`.
+2. Make sure the tag exists on `github`: compare `git ls-remote --tags github` with `gitea`, and push the missing one (`git push github vX.Y.Z` / `git push gitea vX.Y.Z`). Pushing a `v*` tag to `github` also fires `release.yml` — expected, just be aware.
+3. Re-run the develop build (`gh workflow run Develop`, or push any commit to `develop`) so `git describe` re-resolves with the tag now in scope.
 
-This repo has two writable remotes — `gitea` (canonical, where commits land) and `github` (where the `:develop` and release images are built) — plus `upstream` (docmost, never push). **`git push <branch>` does NOT push tags**; tags must be pushed explicitly and *to each remote separately*. A release tag that only lives on `gitea` is invisible to the GitHub Actions build: even with the tagged commit fully in `develop`'s history (step 7 done), `git describe` on the GitHub runner falls back to the previous tag it *does* have, so the develop image keeps showing e.g. `v0.91.0-NNN` while `git describe` locally already says `v0.93.0-NN`.
-
-Fix / checklist when develop still shows the old version after a back-merge:
-
-1. Confirm the tag is missing on github: `git ls-remote --tags github` (compare with `gitea`).
-2. Push it there: `git push github vX.Y.Z` (and `git push gitea vX.Y.Z` if it is missing on gitea too). Note: pushing a `v*` tag to `github` also triggers `release.yml` (multi-arch GHCR images + draft Release) — expected, but be aware.
-3. Re-run the develop build (`gh workflow run Develop`, or push any commit to `develop`) so `git describe` re-resolves with the tag now present.
-
-(The `git push origin ...` in steps 6–7 above is shorthand — there is no `origin` remote here; substitute `gitea` **and** `github` as appropriate, and always push release tags to both.)

 ### Added
 
+- **Native two-way Docmost ↔ git Markdown sync.** Opt-in per space (Space
+  settings → a git-sync toggle, plus an `autoMergeConflicts` toggle that controls
+  whether a still-conflicted page is held back or pushed with its conflict
+  markers stripped): each enabled space is mirrored to an on-disk git "vault" of
+  Markdown files and reconciled in both directions (Docmost → vault and vault →
+  Docmost) on a debounced + poll-backstop cycle, under a per-space lock, writing
+  through the collaboration layer so concurrent human edits aren't clobbered.
+  Git-originated changes are attributed to a configurable service account and
+  carry a "git-sync" provenance badge in page history. Optionally exposes a `/git`
+  smart-HTTP host so you can `git clone`/`fetch`/`push` a space directly (HTTP
+  Basic auth, space-permission authorized). Off by default and configured via the
+  `GIT_SYNC_*` environment variables, including `GIT_SYNC_ENABLED`,
+  `GIT_SYNC_SERVICE_USER_ID`, and `GIT_SYNC_HTTP_ENABLED` (see `.env.example`).
+  (#119)
+- **Quick-create regular and temporary notes from the Home and Space screens.**
+  The Home screen now shows a second action next to "New note" that creates a
+  *temporary* note (one that auto-moves to Trash after the workspace lifetime),
+  resolving the target space the same way the regular button does — created
+  directly when you can write to a single space, or via a space picker when
+  several. Each space overview screen gains two buttons — "New note" and "New
+  temporary note" — that create the page directly in that space and open it,
+  mirroring the existing space-sidebar actions and shown only to members who can
+  manage pages.
+- **Interrupt the AI agent and send a queued message now.** A queued AI-chat
+  message gains a "send now" action that interrupts the streaming turn and
+  immediately sends that message, keeping the agent's partial output. The
+  follow-up turn is tagged as an interrupt so the model is told its previous
+  answer was cut off and builds on it instead of restarting; the rest of the
+  queue still flushes normally afterward. (#198)
+
+- **Importable multilingual agent-roles catalog.** Admins can browse a curated
+  catalog of agent roles, grouped into bundles and offered in several languages,
+  and import the ones they want into the workspace (with skip-or-rename handling
+  for name collisions); the same role in a different language imports as a
+  separate install. An imported role remembers its catalog origin and offers a
+  one-click update when the catalog ships a newer revision. Backed by four new
+  admin endpoints — `POST /ai-chat/roles/catalog` (browse bundles),
+  `/catalog/bundle` (read one bundle's roles), `/import`, and
+  `/update-from-catalog` — and a new `source` column linking a role to its
+  catalog slug/language/version. The catalog source is configured via the
+  `AI_AGENT_ROLES_CATALOG_URL` env var — an `http(s)://` base URL to the
+  catalog's raw files; the image ships a per-branch default baked in CI, and it
+  can be overridden at runtime via the env var (see `.env.example`). (#222)
+- **Author footnotes inline from an agent, and deterministic server-side footnote
+  canonicalization on every non-editor write path.** A new MCP `insert_footnote`
+  tool places a footnote at a body anchor by content only — the agent supplies
+  WHERE (anchor text) and WHAT (markdown); the number and the bottom
+  `footnotesList` are derived server-side, so an agent can never assign a number,
+  edit the list, or desync, and a same-content note reuses one definition. Under
+  the hood, the editor's footnote-integrity invariant (one trailing list,
+  numbering by first reference, no orphans/duplicates, no raw `[^id]`) is now
+  enforced as a pure `canonicalizeFootnotes(doc)` on the FULL-document write paths
+  that bypass the editor's plugins: server markdown/HTML import, `PageService`
+  create and full-document (`replace`) updates, the client markdown paste, and the
+  MCP markdown page-import / `update_page` (markdown) / `update_page_json` /
+  `docmost_transform` / `insert_footnote` / `copy_page_content` paths. It is
+  idempotent (a no-op once canonical) and is deliberately NOT applied to
+  append/prepend fragments, nor to COMMENT bodies — a comment may legitimately
+  contain a standalone footnote definition, which canonicalization would drop.
+  (#228)
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Enabling a public share no longer auto-shares the whole sub-tree.** Turning
+  a page "Shared to web" now defaults to the page alone; descendant pages become
+  public only when you explicitly turn on the dedicated "Include sub-pages"
+  toggle. Previously the create call defaulted to including sub-pages, silently
+  exposing every child of a freshly shared page. (#216)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Internal links in exported Markdown no longer lose their visible text.** A
+  link whose target page name had no file extension (e.g. a bare title) was
+  collapsed to empty text during export, producing an unclickable, label-less
+  link; the page name is now preserved. (#204)
+- **Deep pages no longer render a blank breadcrumb while the sidebar tree loads.**
+  The breadcrumb now falls back to the page's own ancestor chain (fetched
+  independently of the lazily-built sidebar tree) so a deep page resolves its
+  trail immediately; navigating away no longer leaves the previously-viewed
+  page's breadcrumb showing until the new one resolves. (#206, #218)
+- **Pasted GitHub-style callouts (`> [!NOTE]` …) now convert to real callouts.**
+  GitHub admonition blocks pasted as Markdown are recognized and rendered as
+  callout blocks instead of plain block-quotes. (#192)
+- **The editor stays read-only until collaboration has synced.** While a page is
+  connecting, the body is shown as a non-editable static view with a
+  "Connecting… (read-only)" banner, so edits typed before the document finishes
+  syncing can no longer be silently dropped. (#218)
+- **A shared page now keeps EXACTLY ONE custom address (`/l/:alias`).** Editing a
+  page's vanity slug previously inserted a second `share_aliases` row instead of
+  renaming the existing one, leaving the old `/l/<old>` link live forever and
+  making the share modal's lookup nondeterministic. Slug edits and confirmed
+  reassigns now rename/retarget the single row, and a new partial unique index on
+  `(workspace_id, page_id)` enforces the invariant in the database. **Upgrade
+  note:** the accompanying migration `20260627T120000` IRREVERSIBLY deletes the
+  orphaned duplicate alias rows the old bug created (keeping the newest per
+  page), so any previously-live duplicate `/l/<old>` link begins returning the
+  generic 404 after upgrade — intended, but not undoable by `down()`. (#226,
+  #227)
+- **Typing a custom address already used by another page no longer looks like a
+  dead end.** The share modal previously flagged such a name with a red "This
+  address is already in use" error, hiding the fact that saving offers to MOVE
+  the address to the current page. The field now shows an informational hint —
+  "This address is in use. Saving will move it to this page." — and keeps Save
+  enabled, so the existing reassign-confirm flow (`409 ALIAS_REASSIGN_REQUIRED` →
+  "Move custom address?") is discoverable instead of reading as terminal. (#227)
+
+### Security
+
+- **The anonymous public-share page payload is trimmed to an explicit allowlist.**
+  The `/shares/page-info` route (the only unauthenticated path serializing a
+  page + its share) now returns only the fields the public renderer needs;
+  internal metadata — creator/last-updater/contributor ids, space/workspace ids,
+  AI/source bookkeeping, lock/template flags, parent/position and raw timestamps
+  — is no longer exposed to anonymous viewers. (#218)
+- **A forged or mismatched share id can no longer render a page off its slug
+  alone.** When the public URL carries a share id/key, the page must be reachable
+  through that exact share (its own share or an ancestor `includeSubPages`
+  share); any other value now returns the generic "not found" instead of
+  serving the page. (#218)
+
+## [0.94.0] - 2026-06-26
+
+This release makes AI chat durable and fast: assistant turns are persisted to
+the database step by step and exported server-side, the desktop app no longer
+freezes at 100% CPU on long agent runs, and MCP writes are badged with
+unspoofable AI attribution. It also reworks footnotes (Pandoc-style reuse and
+per-reference back-links), hardens page moves and duplication against cycles
+and lost edits, and caps the anonymous public-share assistant with a
+per-workspace rolling-day token budget.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Custom pretty-links for shared pages (`/l/:alias`).** A page editor can give
+  any publicly shared page a short, memorable, workspace-scoped vanity address
+  backed by a new `share_aliases` table. Hitting `/l/<alias>` issues a `302`
+  (never `301`, since the target is retargetable) to the canonical
+  `/share/<key>/p/<slug>` page; an unknown, dangling, or no-longer-readable alias
+  serves the plain SPA index so that the existence of a name never leaks. An
+  alias can be moved to another page (with a confirm-reassign guard) and the
+  foreign key is `ON DELETE SET NULL`, so deleting the target leaves a dangling
+  alias any workspace member can reclaim. (#205)
+
+- **Temporary notes — auto-move to Trash after a workspace lifetime.** A note can
+  be marked temporary so it auto-moves to Trash once a configurable workspace
+  lifetime elapses (default `DEFAULT_TEMPORARY_NOTE_HOURS` = 24h) unless made
+  permanent first. The deadline is frozen at creation time, so later changes to
+  the workspace setting never reschedule existing notes; an hourly background
+  sweep trashes notes past their deadline (children ride along). An open
+  temporary note shows a banner with a "Make permanent" rescue action; restoring
+  a note from Trash disarms the timer so it is not immediately re-trashed.
+  Operators configure the lifetime per workspace. (#201)

+  byline reads the live editor content (including unsaved edits), generates a

+  flag and throttled per user. (#199)
+- **AI chat: header button auto-opens the chat bound to the current document.**
+  Clicking the AI-chat button in the header while viewing a page now reopens the
+  latest chat tied to that document instead of whatever chat was last active,
+  reusing the existing `ai_chats.page_id` provenance (no migration). The newest
+  chat you created on the page wins; with no bound chat — or off a page, or if

 ### Changed
 
+- **AI chat now feeds the model the full stored transcript.** The per-turn model

+  rebuilt from the complete non-deleted transcript in chronological order, so
+  the model sees every turn (a 5000-row backstop guards process memory — a

+# Agent roles catalog
+
+This directory is **data, not application code**. It holds the content of an
+"agent roles catalog": reusable agent role definitions (system prompts plus a
+little metadata), grouped into bundles and translated into one or more
+languages. A separate server reads these files and serves them; nothing here is
+executable application logic except the validation script.
+
+## File layout
+
+```
+agent-roles-catalog/
+  index.json                  # the catalog manifest: bundles, languages, role versions
+  bundles/
+    <bundle-id>/
+      <lang>.json             # one file per declared language (e.g. ru.json, en.json)
+  scripts/
+    check.mjs                 # validates the catalog (no dependencies)
+    content-hashes.json       # check artifact: per-role content-hash lock (NOT served)
+  package.json                # defines the `check` script
+  README.md
+```
+
+Currently shipped bundles:
+
+- `editorial` — the editorial suite (structural-editor, line-editor,
+  fact-checker, proofreader, narrator), languages `ru`, `en`.
+- `research` — a single `researcher` role, languages `ru`, `en`.
+
+## How it's served
+
+The server does not bundle this data; it reads it at request time from a single
+configured location, the `AI_AGENT_ROLES_CATALOG_URL` env var
+(`EnvironmentService.getAiAgentRolesCatalogSource()`), an `http(s)://` base URL
+to the catalog's raw files. The server fetches `<base>/index.json` for the
+manifest and `<base>/bundles/<bundle-id>/<lang>.json` for each opened bundle
+file (REMOTE only).
+
+That base URL is provided as a per-branch default in the Docker image (set in
+CI: a `develop` build points at the `develop` raw URL, a release build at the
+`main` raw URL) and can be overridden at runtime via the
+`AI_AGENT_ROLES_CATALOG_URL` env var. Local-filesystem sources are no longer
+supported; if the value is unset the catalog is unavailable.
+
+The fetched JSON is re-validated server-side (the catalog is treated as
+untrusted input). See `.env.example` for the variable and the CHANGELOG for the
+rollout.
+
+## `index.json` schema
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "schemaVersion": 1,
+  "bundles": [
+    {
+      "id": "editorial",                       // unique bundle id; matches bundles/<id>/
+      "name": { "ru": "...", "en": "..." },    // localized display name
+      "description": { "ru": "...", "en": "..." },
+      "languages": ["ru", "en"],               // which <lang>.json files must exist
+      "roles": [
+        { "slug": "structural-editor", "version": 1 }
+        // ...
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+`version` lives **here, in index.json**, per role. Bump it whenever a role's
+content (instructions, name, description, etc.) changes, so consumers can detect
+updates.
+
+## Bundle (`<lang>.json`) schema
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "schemaVersion": 1,
+  "language": "ru",
+  "roles": [
+    {
+      "slug": "structural-editor",   // REQUIRED, unique across the whole catalog
+      "emoji": "🧱",
+      "name": "...",                 // REQUIRED, localized
+      "description": "...",          // localized
+      "instructions": "...",         // REQUIRED, the system prompt, localized
+      "autoStart": true,             // whether the role starts working immediately
+      "launchMessage": "..."         // first message sent on launch (or null)
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `modelConfig` is intentionally absent; the server treats an absent
+  `modelConfig` as `null`.
+- A role's `slug`, `emoji`, and `autoStart` are identical across all language
+  files of the same bundle. Only `name`, `description`, `instructions`, and
+  `launchMessage` are translated.
+
+## Slug uniqueness
+
+**Every `slug` must be UNIQUE ACROSS THE WHOLE CATALOG**, not just within a
+bundle. A slug appears once per language file of its bundle (same slug in
+`ru.json` and `en.json`), but no two different bundles may share a slug.
+`scripts/check.mjs` enforces this.
+
+## How to add things
+
+### Add a role to an existing bundle
+
+1. Add an entry to that bundle's `roles[]` in `index.json` with a new unique
+   `slug` and `version: 1`.
+2. Add a role object with the same `slug` to **every** `<lang>.json` of the
+   bundle, translating `name`, `description`, `instructions`, and
+   `launchMessage`.
+3. Run the check (see below).
+
+### Add a bundle
+
+1. Add a bundle object to `index.json` (`id`, `name`, `description`,
+   `languages`, `roles`).
+2. Create `bundles/<id>/<lang>.json` for each declared language, with one role
+   object per `roles[]` entry.
+3. Run the check.
+
+### Add a language to a bundle
+
+1. Add the language code to that bundle's `languages[]` in `index.json`.
+2. Create `bundles/<id>/<lang>.json` containing every role of the bundle,
+   translated.
+3. Run the check.
+
+### Change a role's content
+
+Edit the role in the relevant `<lang>.json` file(s) and **bump that role's
+`version`** in `index.json`. Then run `node scripts/check.mjs --update-hashes`
+to refresh the content-hash lock (`scripts/content-hashes.json`). `check.mjs`
+now **fails if a role's content changed but its `version` was not bumped**, so
+this step is mandatory — the lock can only be refreshed after the bump.
+
+## Validating
+
+From this directory:
+
+```sh
+node scripts/check.mjs   # or: npm run check
+```
+
+It fails (exit code 1) if any slug is duplicated across the catalog, if a
+bundle's index `roles[]` don't match the slugs present in each language file, if
+a declared language file is missing, or if any role is missing a required field
+(`slug`, `name`, `instructions`). It prints `OK` on success.
+
+### Content-hash guard
+
+`check.mjs` also guards against changing a role's content without bumping its
+`version`. It keeps a lockfile, `scripts/content-hashes.json`, mapping each role
+`slug` to `{ version, hash }`, where `hash` is a SHA-256 over the role's
+content fields (`emoji`, `autoStart`, `name`, `description`, `instructions`,
+`launchMessage`) across all of its language files, in a deterministic canonical
+form. This lockfile is a **check artifact only** — the server fetches only
+`index.json` and the bundle `<lang>.json` files, never this file, so it has no
+effect on the served catalog or its schema.
+
+On a normal run, for every role the check recomputes the hash and compares it
+against the lock:
+
+- content unchanged and versions agree → OK;
+- content changed but `version` not bumped above the lock → **error** asking you
+  to bump and refresh;
+- content changed and `version` bumped → **error** asking you to record it by
+  refreshing the lock;
+- role missing from the lock, or a lock entry for a role that no longer exists →
+  **error** asking you to refresh.
+
+Refresh the lock with:
+
+```sh
+node scripts/check.mjs --update-hashes   # alias: --fix
+```
+
+This recomputes the lock from the current catalog, prunes entries for removed
+roles, and prints what changed — but it **refuses to write** (exit 1) if any
+role's content changed while its `index.json` version was not bumped, so the
+version bump is always enforced first. The check also requires every
+`index.json` role to carry a finite numeric `version` (the server requires the
+same).
+
+Known, accepted limitation: a deliberate prune-then-readd of a slug (remove the
+role and run `--update-hashes`, then re-add it with changed content at the same
+version) is **not** caught, because a brand-new slug has no lock baseline to
+enforce a bump against.

+// version in index.json has been bumped and the lock refreshed.
+//
+// Known, accepted limitation: a deliberate prune-then-readd of a slug (remove
+// the role and run --update-hashes, then re-add it with changed content at the
+// same version) is NOT caught, because a brand-new slug has no lock baseline to
+// enforce a bump against. We document this rather than building tombstones.

+// EXCLUDED: no shipped role uses it today, and being an object it would need a
+// deterministic deep canonicalization (recursive key sort) before hashing —
+// otherwise JSON.stringify key-order would make the hash non-deterministic. If a
