 # Contributing to Odysseus
 
-Thanks for helping improve Odysseus. The best contributions are **focused, reviewable, and backed by meaningful validation**.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> **Public pull requests target `dev`, not `main`.** Search existing work before implementing, and follow the current [PR template](.github/pull_request_template.md). Runtime changes require relevant execution evidence, not just a green CI badge.
-
-## At a glance
-
-| Topic | What contributors should do |
-| --- | --- |
-| **Branch** | Target `dev`; `main` is the curated release branch |
-| **Scope** | One coherent change per PR; coordinate larger modularization work through [#4071](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/4071) |
-| **Validation** | Document commands, results, runtime checks, and anything not tested |
-| **Visual changes** | Run the UI, match the existing visual language, and attach screenshots or clips |
-| **Review** | Follow the [risk-based maintainer policy](docs/maintainers/changes-and-review.md) and applicable repository protections |
-| **Security** | Report vulnerabilities privately using [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) |

----
+Thanks for helping. The project is moving quickly, so the best contributions are focused, easy to review, and easy to test.
 
 ## Branch model
 
-| Branch | Purpose |
-| --- | --- |
-| **`dev`** | Default integration branch and target for every public PR. Work can be in flux. |
-| **`main`** | Curated release branch. A [Release Maintainer](docs/maintainers/testing-and-releases.md#release-ownership) promotes a verified `dev` commit. |
+Odysseus has two branches:
 
-If your PR accidentally targets `main`, use **Edit** on GitHub to change its base to `dev`. Changing the base does not itself require a rebase.
+- **`dev`** — where all PRs land. Things can be in flux here; the merge button gets used freely.
+- **`main`** — what users run. Curated and tested by the release's [Release Maintainer](docs/maintainers/testing-and-releases.md#release-ownership). Fast-forwarded to a stable `dev` commit at each release.
 
-End users cloning the repository land on `dev` by default. To use the curated release branch, run `git checkout main` after cloning.
+**Open your PR against `dev`, not `main`.** The GitHub "base" dropdown defaults to `dev`. If you opened a PR against `main` by accident, click "Edit" on the PR and change the base — no rebase needed.
+
+End-users cloning the repo will land on `dev` by default. To run the curated/stable version: `git checkout main` after clone.
 
 ## Before You Start
 
-1. Search [open issues](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues) and [PRs](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/pulls) to avoid duplicate or conflicting work.
-2. Prefer one bug fix, feature, or coherent refactor per PR. Avoid broad rewrites, formatting-only churn, and unrelated file moves.
-3. For a feature, open a **Feature Request** first. Big, new-direction, or difficult-to-reverse changes require the documented [product decision process](docs/maintainers/product-and-features.md#feature-proposal-workflow).
-4. For structural work, coordinate the intended module boundary with maintainers and the [modularization tracker #4071](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/4071).
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> **Coding agents:** If you use an LLM coding agent, open an issue describing the problem before submitting its PR. Bulk agent-generated submissions that ignore the project's contribution format or visual style may be closed without review, even when the underlying fix is correct.
+- Search existing issues and pull requests before opening a new one.
+- Prefer one bug fix or feature per pull request.
+- Avoid broad rewrites, formatting-only changes, or moving many files unless the issue is specifically about structure.
+- If you want to work on a large feature, open an issue first and describe the approach.

 ## Pull Requests
 
-Keep PRs **cohesive**. Small, focused changes are the default. A larger, coordinated module decomposition may be appropriate under the criteria below, but unrelated cleanup, formatting, refactors, and behavior changes must not be mixed.
+Good pull requests usually include:
 
-| Include in the PR | Why it matters |
-| --- | --- |
-| **Summary and scope** | Explain the problem, intended behavior, and areas changed |
-| **Linked issue** | Connect the PR to the existing report or approved work, for example `Fixes #123` or `Part of #4071` |
-| **Validation evidence** | Show manual test steps or automated results that exercise the actual behavior |
-| **UI evidence, when applicable** | Attach screenshots or short recordings from the running application |
-| **Limitations** | Clearly identify tests or environments that were not exercised |
+- A short explanation of the bug or feature.
+- The files or areas changed.
+- Manual test steps or automated test results from running the actual app, not just the test suite.
+- Screenshots or short recordings for UI changes.
+- Links to related issues, for example `Fixes #123`.
 
-For exact required sections and attestations, follow the current [PR template](.github/pull_request_template.md).
+Please keep PRs small. Large PRs that mix unrelated cleanup, formatting, refactors, and behavior changes are much harder to review.
 
-### Structural changes and modularization
-
-**One coherent responsibility is the unit of review.** A larger PR can be appropriate when extracting that responsibility from an oversized module is safer or simpler than splitting the work into many conflicting or interdependent PRs.
-
-Before implementation and review:
-
-- **Coordinate:** Read existing issues/PRs and agree on the boundary with maintainers. Use [#4071](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/4071) for codebase modularization.
-- **Constrain scope:** Keep one subsystem or responsibility per PR. Avoid unrelated features, formatting, and opportunistic cleanup.
-- **Preserve contracts:** Maintain observable behavior, imports, public interfaces, persistence contracts, and runtime invariants unless an approved issue explicitly scopes a change.
-- **Validate behavior:** Include targeted regression tests and runtime checks. Frontend work needs browser validation and screenshots or recordings when rendering may change.
-- **Explain tradeoffs:** Describe extraction boundaries, compatibility, validation results, and known limitations in the PR.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> **Large does not mean broad.** There is no arbitrary line-count limit for a well-scoped extraction. Correctness, reviewability, and integration risk determine whether the scope is acceptable.
-
-> [!CAUTION]
-> **Temporary Harness V2 coordination boundary:** Unrelated changes to `src/agent_loop.py` and closely related execution, authorization, orchestration, and context contracts are temporarily frozen while Harness V2 is developed and validated. Coordinate such work with maintainers. Other modules remain open, and urgent bug or security reports are welcome.
-
-These contributions remain subject to the [risk-based review policy](docs/maintainers/changes-and-review.md), current repository protections, and PR template.
+> **Auto-generated PRs.** If you are running an LLM agent (Devin, Cursor, OpenHands, Claude Code, etc.) against this repo: please open an issue describing the problem first instead of opening a PR directly. Bulk agent-generated PRs that don't match the project's visual style or contribution format will be closed without review, even when the underlying fix is correct.
 
 ## Style and visual changes
 
-Odysseus has an intentional visual language. Changes that ignore it can be closed without merge even when their underlying code is correct.
+Odysseus has an intentional visual style. PRs that ignore it will be closed without merge, no matter how correct the underlying code is.
 
-For any change affecting buttons, icons, typography, colors, spacing, layout, CSS, HTML, SVG, or JavaScript that renders into the DOM:
+Before submitting any change that affects what the app looks like — buttons, icons, fonts, colors, spacing, layout, CSS, HTML, SVG, or any `static/js/` module that draws to the DOM — please:
 
-1. **Run the application locally** and inspect the change in a browser. Type checks and unit tests alone are insufficient.
-2. **Attach a screenshot or short clip** from the running app, plus a mobile screenshot when mobile behavior changes.
-3. **Reuse the existing design system:**
-   - Prefer existing CSS tokens (`--red`, `--fg`, `--bg`, `--card`, `--border`, etc.). Do not introduce parallel colors, type scales, or spacing systems.
-   - Reuse existing button, input, card, and border classes rather than creating duplicate patterns.
-   - Do **not** add Unicode emoji in UI or code. Use inline SVG consistent with `static/index.html` or plain text.
-   - Preserve the existing primary monospaced font (`Fira Code`).
-   - Keep dark mode as the default; route any light-mode work through the existing theme system.
-4. **Extend existing components** instead of introducing a parallel component for the same purpose.
+1. **Run the app locally** and view the change in a browser. Type-checks and unit tests are not enough.
+2. **Attach a screenshot or short clip** of the change in the running app. Add a mobile screenshot too if the change affects mobile.
+3. **Match the existing visual language.** Specifically:
+   - Reuse existing CSS variables (`--red`, `--fg`, `--bg`, `--card`, `--border`, …). Do not introduce new color values, font sizes, or spacing units.
+   - Reuse existing button, input, card, and border classes. Don't invent parallel styling for similar widgets.
+   - **No Unicode emoji in UI or code.** Use inline SVG (matching the monochrome icon style already in `static/index.html`) or plain text.
+   - Monospaced font (`Fira Code`) for primary UI text. Don't override.
+   - Dark theme is the default; any light-mode work goes through the existing theme system, not hard-coded.
+4. **Don't add parallel components.** If a similar widget already exists in the app, extend it instead of writing a new one.
 
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> If you are unsure whether a change is visual, assume that it is and provide a screenshot. Visual evidence does not replace behavioral validation.
+If you are unsure whether a change is "visual," it is. Default to attaching a screenshot.
 
 ## Code conventions
 
-**Use existing constants and helpers.** Hardcoded duplicates drift, break non-default deployments, and can reintroduce previously fixed issues.
+Don't hardcode values that the project already exposes through a constant or a helper. Hardcoded literals drift out of sync, break on non-default deployments, and reintroduce bugs we've already fixed.
 
-- **Filesystem paths:** Do not derive writable paths from `Path(__file__)...` into the source tree, hardcode `/app/...`, or use a relative `"data/..."` string. Persisted files and directories have named constants in `src/constants.py`, such as `AUTH_FILE`, `USER_PREFS_FILE`, `SETTINGS_FILE`, `TTS_CACHE_DIR`, and `CHROMA_DIR`. Import those names rather than deriving paths with `os.path.join(DATA_DIR, "x.json")` or `DATA_DIR / "x.json"`. `DATA_DIR` reads `ODYSSEUS_DATA_DIR` and is intended directly only for dynamic paths without fixed names, such as per-owner files. Add a constant when a fixed path does not yet have one. The source tree is read-only in Docker, and `/app/...` does not exist on native runs. Guard directory creation so unwritable paths degrade gracefully rather than crashing at import.
-- **Internal API and loopback URLs:** Do not hardcode `http://localhost:7000`. Use `internal_api_base()` from `src.constants`, which honors `ODYSSEUS_INTERNAL_BASE` and `APP_PORT`.
-- **Ports, limits, and model lists:** Reuse existing constants. When a value is shared by multiple locations and has no constant, add one in `src/constants.py` instead of duplicating a literal. `core/constants.py` is a compatibility re-export, not another source of truth.
+- **Filesystem paths:** never build writable paths from `Path(__file__)...` into the source tree, hardcode `/app/...`, or use a relative `"data/..."` string. Every persisted file and directory has a named constant in `src/constants.py` (for example `AUTH_FILE`, `USER_PREFS_FILE`, `SETTINGS_FILE`, `TTS_CACHE_DIR`, `CHROMA_DIR`). Import and use that named constant; do not re-derive the path locally with `os.path.join(DATA_DIR, "x.json")` or `DATA_DIR / "x.json"`. `DATA_DIR` is the single place that reads `ODYSSEUS_DATA_DIR`, so use it directly only for dynamic paths that have no fixed name (for example per-owner files). If a data file or directory has no constant yet, add one to `src/constants.py`. The source tree is read-only in Docker and `/app/...` does not exist on native runs; guard directory creation so an unwritable path degrades gracefully instead of crashing at import.
+- **Internal API / loopback URLs:** don't hardcode `http://localhost:7000`. Use `internal_api_base()` from `src.constants` (it honors `ODYSSEUS_INTERNAL_BASE` / `APP_PORT`).
+- **Ports, limits, model lists, and similar:** reuse the existing constant if one exists; if it doesn't and the value is used in more than one place, add a constant rather than copying the literal.
 
-**Commits:** Use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org) with `type(scope): summary`, for example `fix(search): ...`, `feat(notes): ...`, or `docs(contributing): ...`. Common types include `fix`, `feat`, `refactor`, `docs`, `test`, `chore`, and `ci`. Keep the subject short and imperative, with the motivation in the body when useful.
+If you need a value that has no constant or helper yet, add it to `src/constants.py` (the single source of truth for paths and config; `core/constants.py` only re-exports it for backward compatibility) and import it, rather than repeating a literal across files.

 # Roadmap / Help Wanted
 
-Odysseus is an evolving, self-hosted AI workspace. This roadmap highlights where improvements and contributions are most useful, from reliability and maintainability to product capabilities.
+Odysseus is on a voyage, but not home yet. It works great for me (lol), but this ship is moving fast and feedback/help would be appreciated! (I don't know what I'm doing, help).
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> **Direction, not a release schedule.** This page is not a complete issue backlog or a promise to deliver every proposal. Implementation scope and priority are coordinated through existing issues, pull requests, and the project's [feature proposal process](docs/maintainers/product-and-features.md).
+If you see weird CSS, strange layout behavior, or a suspiciously murky corner of
+the codebase, you are probably right to stay away.
 
-## At a glance
+## High Priority
 
-| Area | Direction | Coordination |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| **Stabilization** | Reliability, CI, fresh installs, security, and integrations | [Stabilization & Modularization milestone](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/milestone/1) |
-| **Modularization** | Clearer module ownership, safer changes, and contributor onboarding | [Canonical tracker #4071](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/4071) |
-| **Agent runtime** | Active Harness V2 development, with a narrow temporary change freeze | [Coordination in #4071](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/4071) |
-| **Product improvements** | Local models, research, frontend experience, and operations | [Issues](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues) and [feature proposals](docs/maintainers/product-and-features.md) |
+- SQUASH BUGS
+- Fresh install smoke tests on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Docker, native Python,
+  and WSL all need coverage.
 
-**Jump to:** [Stabilization](#stabilization-and-reliability) · [Modularization](#modularization-and-maintainability) · [AI and local models](#ai-local-models-and-research) · [Frontend](#frontend-and-user-experience) · [Backend](#backend-and-operations) · [Contributing](#contributing)
+- Integration audit: do integrations even work? Confirm what works, what needs setup docs, and what should be removed or hidden. 
+- Cookbook reliability on other computers. This is probably the area most likely to need work across different machines, GPUs, drivers, shells, and Python environments.
+- Cookbook SGLang support across platforms. Make sure SGLang setup/serve works
+  predictably on Linux, Windows/WSL, macOS where possible, Docker, and common
+  NVIDIA/AMD hardware paths.
+- Deep Research model presets by hardware. Recommend approved model/parameter
+  profiles for small, medium, and large local setups so people with different
+  hardware can use Deep Research without guessing. Surface this either in Deep
+  Research settings or as a Cookbook scan/dropdown suggestion.
+- Cookbook model scan/download ranking. Prioritize newer architectures and
+  better hardware-fit models instead of scoring everything almost the same.
+  Ranking should account for architecture age, quant format, VRAM/RAM fit,
+  backend support, vision/mmproj requirements, and likely serve reliability.
+- Cookbook error feedback and logging. Failed downloads, dependency installs,
+  preflights, and serve jobs should show the actual command/output/error in the
+  UI, with copyable logs and clear next steps instead of just "crashed".
+- Agent prompt/context bloat. Agent mode is too heavy for smaller local models:
+  tool schemas, skills, memory, documents, and instructions can eat the context
+  before the user request really starts. We need slimmer prompts, better tool
+  selection, smaller default tool sets, and clearer guidance for models with
+  4k/8k/16k context windows.
+- Local model speculative decoding support. For Odysseus-tuned local models,
+  plan to ship or recommend a small same-tokenizer draft model when the serving
+  backend supports it. Early vLLM testing showed a generic `Qwen3-0.6B` draft
+  beside `Qwen3-8B` can materially reduce wall time, while an unsupported
+  DSpark conversion performed poorly. Treat this as a supported draft-model lane
+  first; keep MTP-specific packaging as future work only when the architecture
+  and runtime support are real. Judge this by time-to-success, tool correctness,
+  grammar, and unchanged target output, not tokens/sec alone.
+- Skill/tool prompt-injection audit. User-editable skills, notes, documents,
+  fetched pages, and memories should be treated as untrusted data. Keep testing
+  whether models follow malicious instructions from those surfaces.
+- Better degraded-state reporting for ChromaDB, SearXNG, email, ntfy, and provider probes.
+- Email performance audit. Fetching, searching, opening, deleting, and sending
+  email can feel slow, especially over IMAP/SMTP providers with high latency.
+  Need someone who knows mail performance to profile the current flow, identify
+  whether the bottleneck is IMAP folder select/fetch, cache invalidation,
+  attachment/body loading, SMTP handshakes, or frontend refresh behavior, then
+  propose safer caching/prefetch/batching without breaking multi-account state.
+- Provider setup/probing audit for Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, xAI, OpenRouter, OpenAI, and DeepSeek.
 
----
+## Refactor Targets
+- CSS cleanup. `static/style.css` basically Calypso's island atm.
+- Tour core helper. The onboarding tours have too much copy-pasted scaffolding; promote a shared `tour-core.js` helper before adding more tours.
+- Modal/window positioning cleanup. Some window controls have improved, but the
+  underlying popup/dropdown/fixed-position behavior is still too fragile.
+- Mobile media override discoverability. A lot of "CSS did not move" bugs are mobile `@media` overrides of the same selector; comments or linting around desktop/mobile paired rules would help.
+- Dead code pass for old routes, stale feature flags, and unused UI states.
 
-## Stabilization and reliability
+## Frontend
 
-**Priority:** Make Odysseus dependable across installations, platforms, providers, and supported hardware.
+- Expand the Editor for quicker, more robust everyday use. Better file/document
+  handling, smoother window behavior, clearer save/export flows, stronger image
+  editing affordances, and fewer brittle edge cases.
+- Better AI integration for Notes and Todos. Notes should be easier for the
+  agent to read, update, summarize, and turn into actions. Todos should be
+  assignable to an agent from the UI, possibly through a button, task action,
+  or dedicated skill/tool flow.
+- Mobile gallery/editor polish. Easier to launch/download inpaint model or any missing pieces.
+- Accessibility pass: keyboard navigation, focus states, contrast, reduced motion.
+- Improve empty states and error messages on fresh installs.
+- Tighten first-run setup, hints, and tours so they do not repeat or fight each other.
+- Vendor CDN assets eventually for a more fully self-hosted/offline mode.
 
-| Workstream | What needs improvement | Tracking |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| **CI and validation** | Exact-revision validation, meaningful regression coverage, and release confidence | [#5932](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/5932), [#7109](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/7109) |
-| **Test quality** | Deterministic tests, isolation, focused execution, and maintainable test structure | [#2523](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/2523), [testing standard](tests/TESTING_STANDARD.md) |
-| **Fresh installations** | Smoke tests for Linux, macOS, Windows, WSL, and Docker; baseline startup and graceful degradation | [#3968](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/3968) |
-| **Email integration** | Remaining Google OAuth regressions, account isolation, and cross-provider reliability | [#5637](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/5637) |
-| **Storage integrity** | Upload payload growth, indexing, and attachment/file lifecycle | [#4889](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/4889) |
+## Backend
 
-Additional reliability priorities:
+- More tests around endpoint probing and provider setup.
+- Better task scheduler defaults and visibility.
+- Backup/restore guide and helper flow for `data/`.
+- Security hardening around admin-only tools and clear docs for their risk.
 
-- **Cookbook:** Improve model installation, dependency management, hardware detection, and model serving across operating systems, GPUs, drivers, shells, Python environments, and supported backends.
-- **Security:** Keep strengthening authorization, administrative tools, agent tool execution, prompt-injection boundaries, filesystem access, and untrusted-content handling.
-- **Integrations and degraded states:** Audit supported providers and optional services, including ChromaDB, SearXNG, email, and ntfy. Make failures observable and nonessential outages predictable.
+## Not The Focus Right Now
 
-> [!TIP]
-> Start with an existing, reproducible issue. The [Stabilization & Modularization milestone](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/milestone/1) is a curated work queue, not an invitation to implement every item in this roadmap without coordination.
-
-## Modularization and maintainability
-
-The goal is **clearer responsibility boundaries and safer development**, not smaller files for their own sake. Changes should preserve behavior, compatibility, and relevant runtime contracts.
-
-| Area | Current foundation | Remaining opportunities |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| **CSS** | The former `static/style.css` has been split into ordered files under `static/css/` | Improve ownership while preserving the cascade, themes, and responsive layouts |
-| **Tools** | Substantial tool-domain extraction has landed | Clarify remaining ownership and preserve compatibility through the existing tool interfaces |
-| **Frontend** | Existing feature modules remain in use | Decompose large document, gallery, settings, calendar, and other UI modules around coherent behavior |
-| **Backend** | Domain-specific routes and services already exist | Identify safe boundaries in Cookbook routes, persistence, and other tightly coupled modules |
-| **Tests** | Taxonomy, focused execution, and structural improvements exist | Align fixtures, helpers, and regression coverage with implementation boundaries |
-| **UI infrastructure** | Targeted cleanup is underway | Consolidate tour scaffolding, modal/window positioning, responsive overrides, and obsolete paths |
-
-**Canonical coordination:** [Codebase modularization and contributor onboarding, #4071](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/4071).
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> **Cohesive work is more important than a small line count.** A larger PR may be appropriate for one well-defined decomposition when several smaller PRs would create avoidable conflicts or integration overhead. Coordinate the boundary, avoid unrelated work, and supply regression and runtime evidence. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md#structural-changes-and-modularization).
-
-### Agent runtime and Harness V2
-
-Harness V2 is under active development.
-
-> [!CAUTION]
-> **Temporary agent-runtime freeze.** Unrelated changes to `src/agent_loop.py` and closely related execution, orchestration, authorization, and context contracts must be coordinated with maintainers while Harness V2 is developed and validated.
->
-> This does **not** freeze unrelated application modules. Urgent bug reports and security issues remain welcome. No release date is implied.
-
-## AI, local models, and research
-
-These are **areas of product interest**, not commitments to a specific implementation or delivery order. Follow normal issue triage and product-decision requirements.
-
-| Direction | Opportunity |
-| --- | --- |
-| **Smaller-model agents** | Reduce unnecessary prompt, tool-schema, skill, memory, and document context overhead; improve tool selection for constrained context windows |
-| **Cookbook and SGLang** | Improve installation and serving across relevant hardware, operating systems, and deployment methods |
-| **Model discovery** | Rank models by architecture, quantization, RAM/VRAM fit, backend support, multimodal requirements, and expected reliability |
-| **Deep Research presets** | Explore suitable model and parameter configurations for small, medium, and large local systems |
-| **Actionable diagnostics** | Expose command output, logs, and next steps for failed downloads, dependencies, preflights, and serving jobs |
-| **Speculative decoding** | Investigate compatible draft-model configurations and evaluate end-to-end correctness and time to success |
-| **Provider setup** | Improve endpoint discovery, capability checks, and setup for supported local and hosted providers |
-
-## Frontend and user experience
-
-- **Editors and files:** Improve document/file editing, window behavior, save/export flows, and image-editing reliability.
-- **Notes and Todos:** Expand agent-assisted reading, updates, summarization, and turning information into tasks.
-- **Mobile:** Improve gallery/editor usability, model setup, and responsive behavior.
-- **Accessibility:** Strengthen keyboard navigation, focus states, contrast, and reduced-motion support.
-- **First run:** Improve setup, hints, empty states, error messages, and onboarding tours without duplicate guidance.
-- **Self-hosting:** Reduce unnecessary external asset dependencies where practical for offline operation.
-
-## Backend and operations
-
-- **Email performance:** Measure fetching, searching, body and attachment loading, caching, sending, and frontend refresh behavior before optimizing.
-- **Provider reliability:** Expand regression coverage for setup, endpoint probing, and degraded-service behavior.
-- **Task scheduling:** Improve defaults, reliability, and operational visibility.
-- **Data recovery:** Improve backup and restore guidance and workflows for persistent data.
-- **Administrative security:** Review privileged capabilities and sensitive integrations against their authorization boundaries.
-
-## Not a current priority
-
-- Additional themes without a demonstrated product need.
-- Broad rewrites or framework migrations without clear, measurable value.
-- Changes undertaken solely to reduce file counts.
-- Uncoordinated changes to temporarily frozen agent-runtime contracts.

Request authority narrows which tool families a turn may use, but within an admitted family it does not bind the exact action: a request to read email admits `send_email` and `delete_email`, and agent processes inherit the host network. Until those are covered by their own boundaries, this gate is what stops an injected instruction from reaching them. Turning it off — by either knob — lets a successful injection reach `bash`, `host_shell`, `send_email` and `delete_email` without a separate confirmation.

+Two exemptions apply even when the gate is on, both deliberate:
 
 - Sources in `_CONTROL_PLANE_CONTEXT_SOURCES` (skills, runtime descriptors, the open editor document, the open email, uploaded files) are treated as control-plane metadata and still permit read-only tools.
 - A TUI run that advertises a host shell bridge and declares `unattended_mode` exempts the local execution set in `TUI_CLIENT_TOOL_NAMES`. Personal, network and deployment-local tools are never exempted.
-- Narrow continuation for local MCP tools declared via `ODYSSEUS_LOCAL_MCP_READ_TOOLS` and `ODYSSEUS_LOCAL_MCP_WRITE_TOOLS`: Only explicitly configured stdio MCP servers qualify; remote HTTP and SSE servers fail closed. Declarations never override built-in tool effects, so built-in email, browser, memory, image generation, and other built-in servers cannot receive continuation exceptions. Declared read tools remain untrusted (`EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED`) to ensure that prompt injections in local data cannot reach shell, network, or unrelated tools without approval. Stdio transport does not guarantee network isolation, as local processes may still reach the host network. However, declared non-destructive write tools on the exact same stdio MCP server are permitted to continue without an approval prompt if the only untrusted context in the run was produced by declared local reads on that same server, without any explicit error or external taint. Genuinely external content (web search, web fetch, emails, external message context) blocks these writes. Authorization must still originate from the trusted request: request authority must permit the tool and retain the sealed backend resource grant. The residual same-store write risk (the agent writing to the same local store after reading a local prompt injection) remains subject to the user's initial request authority.

+# Native test merge gate
+
+`Native test suites` runs on pull requests, dev/main pushes and manual dispatch.
+`Authoritative native suites` fails unless both the native Node and complete
+Chromium jobs succeed; it has no continue-on-error, retries or path bypass.
+Repository administrators must require this check alongside the four pytest
+checks in branch protection. The audited public dev branch had no protection or
+ruleset, so merely adding workflow jobs cannot prevent a manual merge.
+
+`tests/native-ci-manifest.json` exhaustively partitions all native Node files:
+16 run in the native job,14 through existing pytest wrappers, one through the
+existing frontend architecture CI step, and the formerly live email-reply file
+through an explicitly identified Playwright driver. The manifest validator fails
+for omitted/duplicate/unreachable entries. Node emits individual JUnit identities
+and propagates its failure exit. No native file is newly run in each pytest shard.
+
+The browser job uses the existing one-worker Chromium config and all 136 Photo
+Editor cases (including cursor and brush regressions), plus one driver for the native
+email-reply contract (137 cases total). Its ephemeral account,
+SQLite DB and server are created by the config/setup; reuseExistingServer remains
+false. NPX startup is offline/cache-only in a private cache; Notes/editor behavior
+and Python MCP services remain real. No developer app or external account is used.
+
+Default CI trace suppression remains intact. Only this job's explicit opt-in plus
+a newly generated authenticated synthetic fixture marker permits failure traces.
+The existing structured sanitizer runs before artifacts are uploaded; invalid
+ownership, failed sanitization and missing tooling purge sensitive artifacts.
+Unsupported or malformed sensitive records cause the affected archive to be removed
+fail-closed. An independent fail-closed verification step (.github/scripts/verify_sanitized_artifacts.py)
+runs after test suite execution or abnormal runner termination to prevent publishing
+unsanitized diagnostics while preserving safe JUnit reporting. The verifier returns a nonzero
+exit code upon any inspection or deletion failure, publishable XML is restricted to recognized
+JUnit reports with sensitive tokens redacted, and workflow upload steps execute only when
+independent verification succeeds (steps.<id>.outcome == 'success').
+Never upload the fixture directory, database or browser storage state.
+
+The stroke budget now excludes measured synthetic event-delivery pacing and also
+bounds actual Chromium main-thread work at the original5s. All240 samples and
+pixel/thumbnail/undo/redo assertions remain. Per-case timing attachments expose
+both clocks rather than treating driver frame cadence as application work.
+
+Three Bombadil properties remain opt-in: they require a Bombadil/browser scenario
+and bounded fuzz campaign; no authoritative execution is claimed. The two model
+smoke scripts require supplied model endpoints/models and remain explicit live
+operations. No credentials or live-service authorization are implied by CI setup.
+Firefox/WebKit alternatives remain opt-in and are not certified by Chromium CI.

 ```
 
-### Step 0 — Idea (optional)
-
-Half-formed ideas go to [Discussions › Ideas](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/discussions/categories/ideas) to gauge interest. Nothing is decided there. A proposal is ready for step 1 when it is **actionable**.
-
-### Step 1 — Feature Request issue
-
-**Who:** the proposer.
-
-Open a [Feature Request](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues/new?template=feature_request.yml) after checking [ROADMAP.md](../../ROADMAP.md) and open issues. Besides the required fields, the form asks three optional questions that make triage faster:
-
-- whether the proposer thinks it is big, a new direction, or hard to undo;
-- the yes/no questions they want the Product Owner to answer;
-- screenshots, a recording, or a demo branch.
-
-A proposal with several independent parts may be one issue, provided each part is listed separately so it can be decided separately.
-
-### Step 2 — Triage
-
-**Who:** a **triager**. **When:** within 7 days of the issue being opened.
-
-The triager does one of three things and records why in a comment:
-
-| Outcome | When | Label | Next |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| Close | **Duplicate** or not **actionable** | — (closed as duplicate or not planned, with a link) | — |
-| Maintainer decision | **Small** *and* **reversible** *and* **fits ROADMAP** | `product: maintainer decision` | Step 5 |
-| Needs the Product Owner | **Big**, *or* **new direction**, *or* **hard to undo** | `product: needs decision` | Step 3 |
-
-The triage comment names the ROADMAP line the proposal fits, or says that it fits none, and which of big / new direction / hard to undo applies. When the triager is unsure, the proposal goes to the Product Owner.
-
-### Step 3 — Decision brief
-
-**Who:** the proposer writes it; the triager checks it is complete before the clock starts.
-
-The brief goes at the top of the issue body (edit the issue, or post it as the first comment and link it from the body) and contains:
-
-1. **Summary:** what changes for users, in three to five lines.
-2. **Questions:** the exact yes/no questions, one per independent part.
-3. **Evidence:** screenshots or a recording for anything that renders; a demo branch if one exists.
-4. **What cannot be undone:** migrations, deleted data, changed contracts, or "nothing".
-5. **For big designs only:** architecture, migration and rollback, and the planned PR slices. A long design may live in a proposal document under `/design` and be linked from the brief.
-
-When the brief is complete, the triager mentions the Product Owner on the issue. This is **day 0** for the timeout.
-
-### Step 4 — Product Owner decision
-
-**Who:** the Product Owner. **When:** on the issue at any time, or at the next **queue review**.
-
-| Answer | Label | Recorded as |
-|---|---|---|
-| Yes, possibly with conditions | `product: approved` | A **recorded decision** listing any conditions |
-| No | `product: declined` | A recorded decision; the issue is closed as not planned |
-| A question | stays `product: needs decision` | The clock pauses until the proposer answers, then restarts at day 0 |
-| Different answers per part | the label for the approved part(s) | The recorded decision lists each part and its answer |
-
-A decision given outside GitHub (Matrix, a call) counts once a maintainer has recorded it on the issue. A declined feature can be maintained in a contributor's fork, and the issue can be reopened only with **materially new** information.
-
-#### When there is no answer: lazy consensus
-
-| Day | What happens |
-|---|---|
-| 0 | Brief complete; Product Owner mentioned on the issue |
-| 7 | One reminder from a maintainer, and the issue is put on the next queue review |
-| 14 | If there has been no **objection**: |
-
-- If the **only** reason the proposal needed the Product Owner was that it is **big** — it is **reversible** and **fits ROADMAP** — a maintainer may decide. They record "decided by lazy consensus on YYYY-MM-DD", apply `product: maintainer decision`, and own any rollback Pewds later asks for.
-- If it is a **new direction** or **hard to undo**, it keeps waiting. Silence never approves a one-way change or a change of direction. It is raised at each queue review.
-- A proposal still waiting after **90 days** is closed as not planned with a comment saying it expired without a decision. It can be reopened by anyone with the same brief.
-
-### Step 5 — Implementation
-
-**Who:** the proposer or any contributor.
-
-Feature PRs link the issue with `Part of #N` (or `Fixes #N` for the last slice) and stay within what was decided. A maintainer does not merge a feature PR whose issue carries neither `product: approved` nor `product: maintainer decision`, and checks any conditions in the recorded decision.
-
-If the work grows beyond what was decided — a new part, or a part that becomes hard to undo — that part goes back to step 2.
-
-A maintainer's own small, reversible feature that fits ROADMAP may skip the separate issue: the PR description states why it qualifies, and the PR is the record.
-
-### Step 6 — Review and merge
-
-Unchanged: [changes and review](changes-and-review.md). Product approval is not technical approval; high-risk changes still need an independent qualified review.
-
-### Step 7 — Close
-
-The issue is closed when the last PR lands. If the feature was a ROADMAP item, the same PR or a follow-up updates ROADMAP.md.
-
-## Labels
-
-| Label | Meaning | Applied by |
-|---|---|---|
-| `product: needs decision` | Waiting for the Product Owner | Triager |
-| `product: approved` | The Product Owner said yes (see the recorded decision for scope and conditions) | Product Owner or the maintainer recording the decision |
-| `product: maintainer decision` | Small, reversible and on ROADMAP, or decided by lazy consensus | Triager, or the maintainer applying lazy consensus |
-| `product: declined` | The Product Owner said no | Product Owner or the maintainer recording the decision |
-
-Only maintainers and the Product Owner set or change these labels. Exactly one of them is on a triaged feature issue at any time.
-
-## Definitions
-
-**Feature.** A change that adds or alters user-visible behavior, a setting, or a public contract (HTTP API, MCP tool, plugin interface, file format). Restoring documented or clearly intended behavior is a bug fix, not a feature.
-
-**Small.** All of the following are true:
-
-- it ships as one PR of ordinary size — as a guide, no more than about 600 changed lines excluding tests, generated files and lockfiles;
-- it touches one area of the app;
-- it adds an option or a capability without changing what existing users see or get by default;
-- it adds no new dependency, service, or background process.
-
-Anything else is **big**.
-
-**Reversible.** Reverting the PR(s) fully restores the previous state for every user, with nothing left behind: no data migrated, rewritten or deleted; no stored format that other code or users now depend on; no public contract that integrations have started to use; no security boundary moved. If any of those is not true, the change is **hard to undo**.
-
-**Hard to undo.** Not reversible. Typical cases: data migrations, deleting or purging data, new persisted formats, new or changed authentication, permission or sharing models, and removing or renaming a public API, MCP tool, setting or file location.
-
-**New direction.** The change takes Odysseus somewhere it has not committed to. Any of:
-
-- a new top-level area of the app (a new panel, tab or module);
-- multi-user or collaboration features where the app was single-user;
-- data or requests leaving the user's machine by default, including telemetry and new external services;
-- dropping or adding a supported platform, install method or model backend;
-- anything listed under "Not The Focus Right Now" in ROADMAP.md;
-- reversing a previous Product Owner decision.
-
-**Fits ROADMAP.** The triager can point to a specific ROADMAP.md item that the proposal implements or directly extends, and the proposal is not listed under "Not The Focus Right Now". "It is in the same area as an item" is not enough.
-
-**Actionable.** The issue states a concrete problem and a concrete change in behavior, specific enough to write acceptance criteria from.
-
-**Duplicate.** Same user-facing outcome as an open issue or open PR, or a request for a ROADMAP item that adds nothing to it. Close it with a link, and move any new information to the original. A proposal that offers to *implement* a ROADMAP item, with a concrete design, is not a duplicate: it is triaged normally and usually **fits ROADMAP**.
-
-**Triager.** Any maintainer other than the proposer. A maintainer's own proposal is triaged by another maintainer.
-
-**Objection.** A comment on the issue — or one recorded there from another channel — by the Product Owner or a maintainer, asking to stop, wait, or change the scope. A maintainer's objection stops lazy consensus for that proposal; it then waits for the Product Owner like a new direction does. Questions and suggestions that do not ask to stop are not objections.
-
-**Recorded decision.** A comment on the issue that states the decision, who made it, the date, where it was made if not on GitHub, the parts it covers, and any conditions — together with the matching label change.
-
-**Queue review.** Every 14 days, a maintainer brings the [`product: needs decision` list](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22product%3A+needs+decision%22) to the Product Owner and records each answer on its issue. The maintainer who runs it is agreed among maintainers and noted here: *to be decided*.
-
-**Days.** Calendar days, counted from the timestamp of the event on the issue (label applied, brief completed, reminder posted).
-
-**Materially new.** Information the original decision did not have: a different design, new evidence of demand, or a changed ROADMAP.
+Record the decision in an issue, proposal, work item, or PR so future maintainers can discover it. Do not rely on a chat-only decision.
