fix(ai-chat): assistant turn renders empty — memo froze on in-place part mutation

The floating AI chat rendered NOTHING for the assistant turn (user bubble +
"thinking" dots showed, but the streamed text and tool-call cards never
appeared) even though the agent ran server-side. The parts DID arrive in
`useChat.messages` — this was purely a render freeze.

Root cause: the MessageItem `React.memo` comparator (#182) decided whether to
re-render by recomputing `messageSignature(prev.message)` vs
`messageSignature(next.message)` inside `arePropsEqual` (plus a
`prev.message === next.message` fast path). But the AI SDK (ai@6 /
@ai-sdk/react@3) streams a turn by MUTATING the same `parts` in place and
handing back a message wrapper that SHARES those mutated parts. So inside the
comparator both `prev.message` and `next.message` already reflect the latest
content — the two signatures are ALWAYS equal — and the memo skipped every
post-mount render. The assistant row therefore froze at its initial empty
(null) render; reasoning-first providers (e.g. z.ai/GLM) start with a
non-visible reasoning part, so the whole answer + tool cards never showed.

Fix: snapshot the signature in the PARENT (MessageList) at render time and pass
it to MessageItem as an immutable `signature` string prop; `arePropsEqual` now
compares that prop. A captured string is immutable, so `prev.signature` holds
the previous render's content and `next.signature` the new content — they differ
as the turn streams in and the row re-renders. Drop the now-incorrect
`prev.message === next.message` fast path (same-ref-but-mutated must still
re-render). MarkdownPart's per-part memo is unaffected (it already keys on the
primitive `text`).

Verified end-to-end against a real OpenAI-compatible provider: the assistant
turn (reasoning + streamed text + tool-call card) now renders live and on
finish. Regression tests added (render + comparator) that fail before / pass
after.

 ### 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
 
+- **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

+
+## [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)

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

+  undefined" text; tool inputs now return a message naming each missing/invalid
+  parameter (the JSON Schema contract is unchanged and nothing is backfilled).
+  (#190)
+- **Page move: cycle checks are now atomic and depth-bounded.** Moving a page
+  under one of its own descendants is rejected in the same transaction as the
+  update (closing a TOCTOU window where two concurrent A→B / B→A moves could
+  form a cycle), and the recursive tree-traversal CTEs carry a cycle/depth guard
+  so a pre-existing cycle can no longer spin a query. (#207)
+- **Page/editor robustness batch.** Duplicating a page now copies shared
+  attachments for every referencing page (not just the first); colliding block
+  ids are de-duplicated on import/normalize so MCP addressed edits can't hit the
+  wrong node; transient collab store failures are retried so autosave edits
+  aren't lost; and an out-of-order tree move no longer drops the moved subtree.
+  (#206)
+
+### Security
+
+- **Public share AI: per-workspace rolling-day token budget.** The anonymous
+  share assistant now caps a workspace's actual token spend (input + output,
+  summed across every accepted turn) over a trailing day, on top of the hourly
+  request cap — so a caller who evades the per-IP throttle still cannot run up
+  the owner's provider bill without bound. Cluster-wide via Redis and FAILS
+  CLOSED if Redis is down; default 1,000,000 tokens/day, overridable via
+  `SHARE_AI_WORKSPACE_TOKEN_BUDGET_PER_DAY`. (#159)

+ * SECOND cost contour: a per-workspace TOKEN budget over a rolling DAY.
+ *
+ * The request-count cap above bounds how MANY anonymous calls a workspace
+ * admits, but NOT how expensive each one is: one accepted call runs the agent
+ * loop up to `stepCountIs(5)`, and every step re-sends the WHOLE client-held
+ * transcript (~hundreds of KB) as input, so the provider input alone can be tens
+ * of thousands of tokens PER step while `maxOutputTokens` only caps the output.
+ * The request cap is also hourly with no daily ceiling, so a steady stream at
+ * the hourly cap sustains ~24x its count per day. Counting requests therefore
+ * does not bound the owner's actual LLM bill (issue #159, finding #5).
+ *
+ * This contour caps the SPEND directly: the actual tokens consumed (input +
+ * output, summed across all steps of every accepted turn) over the trailing
+ * `windowMs` (one rolling day) must stay under `budget`. It is checked BEFORE a
+ * turn streams (read-only) and the turn's real usage is recorded AFTER it
+ * finishes (`streamText` onFinish). Like the request cap it is cluster-wide
+ * (shared Redis) and uses a sliding-window LOG so the day boundary cannot be
+ * gamed for a 2x burst.
+ *
+ * Pre-check is read-only, so a turn already over budget is rejected, but the
+ * tokens of an in-flight turn are not yet known and are accounted only once it
+ * finishes. The worst-case overshoot past the budget is therefore one turn
+ * (bounded by steps x (maxOutputTokens + transcript size)) — acceptable for a
+ * cost backstop on an optional anonymous assistant.

+ * Centralized input-schema wrapper for every in-app AI-chat tool.
+ *
+ * THE PROBLEM (#190): when the model issues PARALLEL / batch tool calls it
+ * sometimes drops an "obvious" repeated required argument (typically `pageId`)
+ * from some of the calls. zod v4 correctly rejects the missing value, but the
+ * AI SDK forwards zod's RAW message ("Invalid input: expected string, received
+ * undefined") straight back to the model, which is not actionable — the model
+ * cannot tell WHICH parameter it dropped or that it must re-send it.
+ *
+ * THE FIX: keep the exact same validation, but replace the raw zod text with a
+ * model-friendly message that names every problematic parameter and tells the
+ * model to re-issue the call with all required parameters present. We do NOT
+ * guess/backfill the value (a silently-assumed "current page" could comment on
+ * the wrong page — cf. #159); the model is simply told to retry correctly.
+ *
+ * HOW IT WORKS: we build the tool's JSON Schema from the zod shape via
+ * `z.toJSONSchema(..., { target: 'draft-7' })` (so the advertised contract —
+ * `required` / `description` / field constraints — is unchanged) and hand the
+ * AI SDK a custom `validate` that runs `z.object(shape).safeParse(value)`. On
+ * failure the AI SDK wraps our returned `Error` in `InvalidToolInputError`, so
+ * our clear text is what reaches the model as the tool error.
