chore(offline-sync): tighten SW denylist, drop dead /api cache + http localhost CORS

- Service worker (vite-plugin-pwa/Workbox): add /share/, /mcp, and /robots.txt
  to navigateFallbackDenylist so the SPA app-shell never shadows those
  server-rendered routes (they mirror the server static-serve exclude list — the
  share SEO/OG HTML, the MCP endpoint, and robots.txt must come from the server).
- Remove the dead /api GET NetworkFirst Workbox rule (api-get-cache): offline
  reads are served by the persisted TanStack Query cache (IndexedDB) + y-indexeddb,
  never by an SW HTTP cache, so caching GET /api only risked stale responses. All
  /api is now NetworkOnly. clearOfflineCache still deletes any legacy api-get-cache
  defensively (comment updated to note it is no longer created).
- CORS: drop the cleartext 'http://localhost' native-WebView origin. The Capacitor
  shell uses the secure scheme (capacitor.config cleartext:false, default Android
  scheme https, iOS hosted via CAP_SERVER_URL), so no native client uses it;
  allowing it only widened the credentialed-CORS surface. Keeps capacitor://,
  ionic://, and https://localhost.
- docs/mobile-bootstrap.md: replace the inaccurate 'hand-rolled service worker'
  description with the real Workbox generateSW setup (prompt registration via
  virtual:pwa-register, production-only, denylist, NetworkOnly, RQ/y-indexeddb
  offline reads) and drop http://localhost from the CORS origins list.

 ### 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.)

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [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)
+
+- **Persistent AI-chat history as the source of truth + server-side export.**
+  An assistant turn is now persisted to the database step by step: the row is
+  inserted upfront as `streaming` and updated as each agent step finishes, then
+  finalized once to `completed`/`error`/`aborted`. A process that dies mid-turn
+  keeps every finished step, and a startup sweep flips any dangling `streaming`
+  row (untouched for 10 minutes) to `aborted`. Chat "Copy" now exports
+  server-side from these rows (`POST /ai-chat/export`) rather than from live
+  client state, so the export is identical whether a chat is freshly streaming,
+  just switched to, or reloaded — and is available from the first turn of a new
+  chat. (#183, #174)
+
+- **AI-agent attribution for MCP writes.** Comments (and pages) created through
+  the MCP endpoint by a dedicated agent account are now badged as "AI", with
+  unspoofable provenance derived from a per-user `is_agent` flag (not from the
+  request body). **Operator setup:** use a _dedicated_ service account for the
+  MCP fallback and set the flag with SQL —
+  `UPDATE users SET is_agent = true WHERE email = '<mcp-account>'`. Never flag a
+  human or shared account, or its normal edits get mis-attributed as AI. See the
+  AI-agent block in `.env.example`. (#143)
+- **Footnote import diagnostics.** The MCP page-write tools (`create_page`,
+  `update_page`, `import_page_markdown`) now return a `footnoteWarnings` array
+  flagging dangling references, empty or duplicate definitions, and `[^id]`
+  markers inside table rows, so an agent can fix its own markup. The page is
+  still created; the field is omitted when there are no problems. (#166)
+- **AI chat "Protocol" setting (`chatApiStyle`).** A new admin choice in AI
+  settings for the `openai` driver: `openai-compatible` (default) routes chat
+  through `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible`, which surfaces a provider's streamed
+  reasoning (`reasoning_content` → reasoning parts) for z.ai/GLM, DeepSeek,
+  OpenRouter, etc.; `openai` uses the official provider (real-OpenAI
+  reasoning-model request shaping). Chosen explicitly rather than inferred from
+  the base URL, since a custom URL can front real OpenAI too. (#175, #177)
+- **Per-MCP-server instructions in the agent prompt.** Each external MCP server
+  now has an admin-authored `instructions` field ("how/when to use this server's
+  tools") that is injected into the agent's system prompt next to that server's
+  tool descriptions. Trusted text, rendered inside the prompt safety sandwich;
+  shown only for a server that actually connected and contributed ≥1 callable
+  tool. (#180)
+- **Footnote multi-backlinks.** A footnote referenced more than once now shows a
+  back-link per reference (↩ a b c …), each scrolling to its own occurrence, like
+  Pandoc/Wikipedia; a single-reference footnote keeps the plain ↩. (#168)
+
 ### Changed
 
+- **AI chat default provider is now `openai-compatible` (reasoning surfaced).**
+  For the `openai` driver the chat provider defaults to the openai-compatible
+  implementation, so a workspace pointing at z.ai/GLM/DeepSeek now streams the
+  model's reasoning out of the box. An endpoint that is real OpenAI behind a
+  custom base URL should set the new `chatApiStyle` "Protocol" to `openai`. (#177)
+
+- **Footnotes now reuse (Pandoc semantics).** Multiple `[^a]` references to the
+  same id are ONE footnote — one number, one definition, several back-references
+  — instead of being renamed to `a__2`, `a__3`. Duplicate `[^a]:` definitions are
+  first-wins on import (the rest are dropped and reported via `footnoteWarnings`),
+  and a reference with no definition yields a single empty footnote rather than
+  one per occurrence. This supersedes the 0.93.0 "survive duplicate-id
+  definitions" behavior for the import path. (#166)
+
 - **Public share AI: default per-workspace hourly assistant cap lowered
   300 → 100.** The limiter falls back to this default whenever
   `SHARE_AI_WORKSPACE_MAX_PER_HOUR` is unset, so a `0.93.0` deployment that

   cut from 300 to 100 on upgrade. Set `SHARE_AI_WORKSPACE_MAX_PER_HOUR` to
   keep the previous limit. (#62)
 
+### Fixed
+
+- **AI chat: the desktop app no longer freezes at 100% CPU on long agent runs.**
+  `useChat` re-rendered on every streamed token and `MessageItem`/`ReasoningBlock`
+  re-parsed the whole transcript markdown (marked + DOMPurify) on every delta, so
+  per-turn work grew quadratically and saturated the main thread. The stream is now
+  throttled (`experimental_throttle`) to ~20 Hz and each finalized message row /
+  markdown part / reasoning block is memoized, so a long turn no longer re-parses
+  already-finished content. (#182)
+- **Editor: caret/selection landed on the wrong line when clicking inside code
+  blocks and footnotes.** The affected NodeViews rendered their non-editable
+  chrome (language menu, footnotes heading, footnote number marker) before the
+  editable content, so the browser's click hit-testing missed the contentDOM and
+  snapped the caret to a previous node. Content now renders first in the DOM
+  (chrome is lifted back into place via CSS flex `order`), and scroll containers
+  are nudged after a paste to refresh stale hit-testing geometry. The caret
+  symptom is macOS-specific and was confirmed manually on macOS; the automated
+  guard pins the DOM-order invariant, not the caret behavior itself. (#146, #147)
+- **AI chat: the live token counter now ticks between agent steps.** During a
+  multi-step turn the header token badge (and the "Thinking… · N tokens" line)
+  no longer froze on the previous step's authoritative usage; the current step's
+  estimate is combined per-component with `max`, so the count rises smoothly and
+  never jumps backwards. (#163)
+- **AI chat: "New chat" during a streaming first turn now resets the whole
+  chat, not just the role badge.** Starting a new chat mid-stream cleared the
+  header but left the in-flight turn's messages behind, so the fresh chat opened
+  pre-populated with the previous conversation; it now fully resets. (#161)
+- **AI chat: a dropped tool argument now yields an actionable error.** When the
+  model omitted a required parameter (typically `pageId`) in a parallel/batch
+  tool call, the assistant forwarded zod's raw "expected string, received
+  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)

+ * Pure helpers for adopting a brand-new chat's authoritative server id.
+ *
+ * ============================ CANONICAL #137 NOTE ============================
+ * This docblock is the single authoritative explanation of the new-chat id
+ * adoption design and the #137 two-tab race it fixes. Other call sites
+ * (use-chat-session.ts, the server's `chatStreamMetadata`) reference here
+ * rather than restating it.
+ *
+ * When a user sends the first turn of a BRAND-NEW chat, the client has no chat
+ * id yet (`activeChatId === null`). The server creates the row and the client
+ * must "adopt" that row's real id so the SECOND turn targets the same chat.
+ *
+ * The OLD heuristic adopted `items[0]` — the newest chat in the refetched list.
+ * That races a second tab: if another tab created a chat in the same moment,
+ * its row could be `items[0]`, so this tab would adopt the SIBLING chat and
+ * leak its later turns into it (#137). We adopt by IDENTITY instead, two ways:
+ *
+ * PRIMARY path: the server streams the real chat id on the assistant message
+ * metadata's `start` part (see `chatStreamMetadata` server-side);
+ * `extractServerChatId` reads it off the finished message and
+ * `resolveAdoptedChatId` turns it into the id to adopt for a new chat. This is
+ * authoritative and immune to the race.
+ *
+ * FALLBACK path (only when a new chat's first turn errors BEFORE the `start`
+ * chunk, so no metadata id ever reached the client): adopt the single chat that
+ * NEWLY appeared in the per-user list relative to a pre-refetch snapshot —
+ * `newlyAddedChatIds` (the fallback effect adopts only when exactly one id is
+ * new). This is unambiguous and does not race a second tab the way the old
+ * "newest chat in the list" guess did.
+ * ============================================================================
