PR #172 fixed the jsonb double-encoding for `tool_allowlist` but the same
class of bug, and the same re-derived workaround, remained elsewhere.
1. model_config (agent roles): jsonbObject still used the buggy `::jsonb`
bind, so `ai_agent_roles.model_config` round-tripped as a jsonb STRING
SCALAR. The read-path `typeof === 'object'` check then failed and the
model override was SILENTLY dropped (role fell back to the default model).
Fixed to `::text::jsonb` and added `parseModelConfig` + `normalizeRow` so
every read self-heals already-corrupted rows (no migration).
2. Centralized the write workaround as `jsonbBind()` in database/utils.ts —
one implementation with one explanation of the quirk — replacing the
per-repo `jsonbArray` (mcp) and `jsonbObject` (roles).
3. Integration coverage (the fix is a DB round-trip a unit test cannot see;
the read-side parser MASKS a write regression): new
ai-mcp-server-repo.int-spec asserts `jsonb_typeof(tool_allowlist)='array'`
after insert + heals a seeded string-scalar row; ai-agent-roles-repo
int-spec gains the same for `model_config` (`'object'` + heal).
4. Updated the stale `ai-mcp-servers.types.ts` comment (the driver returns a
JSON string for legacy rows; the repo normalizes every read).
5. Fail-open logging: a corrupt tool_allowlist degrades to "no restriction"
(agent gets ALL tools) — normalizeRow now warns (server id only, never
contents) so the silent widening leaves a trace.
6. Simplified parseToolAllowlist (normalize the string once, then a single
array-of-strings check) — identical behaviour, all 12 cases still pass.
