Why: plan U6 vector slice (KTD11 correctness step) - same-dimension vectors from different models must never mix, and PG tiers should run filtered exact top-k in the database instead of scanning every row in-process.
Evidence: full suite green on SQLite and real PostgreSQL 18.6 with pgvector (35 packages each tier) - pgvector_test covers model-identity and dimension isolation, update/delete atomicity (BLOB and vec_pg swap together), shared top-5 with score monotonicity, Recall@10 = exact-scan parity, deny-all predicate leakage; storage-migrate tests green after excluding the derived vec_pg column.
Impact: v25 migration adds model/content_hash columns and (PG, best-effort DO block) the pgvector extension plus vec_pg column - absence degrades to in-process scan; UpsertKnowledgeVectorExt dual-writes BLOB (cross-tier authority) and vec_pg; SearchKnowledgeVectorsModel/SharedModel filter by model identity and use SQL exact top-k (ORDER BY vec_pg <=> q) with automatic degradation; embedders expose Model() and the rag pipeline threads it through indexing and both retrieve paths; storage-migrate excludes vec_pg as a derived column.

Why: EXT-8 closure needs the vector channel shared (not just fulltext), the /host/v1 knowledge face honoring the authorizer, and citation-ref-to-artifact consistency pinned as an acceptance test.
Evidence: TestRetrieveSharedVectorChannel (hash embedder: authorized shared vector hit retrievable, denied yields zero), TestSharedSearchFace (hostapi switches to SharedSearch when wired), TestSharedCitationRefDownloadable (shared hit -> Ref -> artifact content download for the authorized member); go test ./... 32/32 packages ok.
Impact: store.SearchKnowledgeVectorsShared; rag.Pipeline.RetrieveShared (own + shared fulltext + shared vector, RRF-merged); server searchKnowledge prefers RetrieveShared when the retriever implements it; hostapi Server.SharedSearch wired in the composition root through the same authorizer slot. Default behavior unchanged.
Refs: EXT-8 proposal acceptance; slices 1-2.
Why: Masks must not be the only copy of a key, and personal instructions, lore hits, and candidate replies have to reach the model without rewriting the system prefix or deleting history.
Evidence: go test ./internal/store ./internal/ctxasm ./internal/settings ./internal/runtime ./internal/server. Migration v16 upgrades and rolls back. Startup snapshots settings before moving raw keys.
Impact: One labeled key is active per service. Excluding a message hides its whole run from the model. Regenerating appends another candidate and rewinds files to the user turn. User slash commands expand to prompt text and do not fire on their own.

Why: Downstream products must extend the base through a public package and host API instead of editing internal code.
Evidence: go test ./... passed, including plugin v2 assets, sidecar startup, migration v13, pending confirms, HITL timeout, hash embedder, command pairs, and the extension surface snapshot.
Impact: apiVersion 2.0-experimental rejects empty network allowlists for declarative HTTP. Hash embeddings stay opt-in via models.embedding.provider=hash. Plugin secrets resolve per owner at execution time.

Why: the user ruled out self-registration (2026-09-30): accounts are
created only by admins who set an initial password; first login (and
first login after any admin reset) must force a password change.
Evidence:
- migration v10 auth_accounts (users password/must_change/is_admin +
sessions table; upgrade test walks v1<->v10 both directions).
- argon2id hash/verify with PHC encoding; store tests cover hash
roundtrip, duplicate-owner conflict, must-change lifecycle, session
keep/except semantics.
- e2e TestAdminAccountFlow: static login page reachable without auth,
wrong password 401, login sets HttpOnly cookie + mustChangePassword,
admin creates user (409 on duplicate), non-admin create 403, forced
change clears flag and old password dies, admin reset revokes sessions
and re-arms forced change, API-key channel untouched, 5-fail backoff
429, logout kills session. Full go test ./... green.
Impact: middleware now accepts Bearer key OR session cookie and exempts
static + /api/auth/login (also fixes the latent case where the login
page itself could 401). Embedded no-auth mode unchanged.
