Subject: [PATCH 01/38] feat(widget): homepage starter Q&A carve-out + UXCAT
 auth-gate
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three hand-crafted first-touch Q&As on the homepage empty-state:
- What does keepsimple actually make?
- How is this project completely free?
- Where do I start if I'm new here?

Each renders a finished Turn locally with pre-canned answer + 3-4
nominated cards — no LLM call, no retrieval. Carve-out documented
in docs/widget-architecture.md; the normal concierge pipeline keeps
running everywhere else (free-form questions, follow-ups, non-home
pages).

Widget's in-panel UXCAT "Begin Test" CTA now mirrors the in-page
CTA: when anonymous, dispatches ks-aux-request-login event instead
of bouncing through /uxcat/start-test → /uxcat. UXCatLayout listens
and opens its LogInModal directly.

+## Carve-out: homepage first-touch starters
+
+The homepage empty-state chips and the answers + cards they produce are **not** served by the concierge pipeline above. They live entirely on the client, in `HOMEPAGE_STARTERS` inside `widget/src/AskUxCore.tsx`.
+
+Three hand-crafted Q&A objects (en + ru), one per starter chip:
+
+1. _What does keepsimple actually make?_
+2. _How is this project completely free?_
+3. _Where do I start if I'm new here?_
+
+When the visitor clicks one of those chips on the homepage, `runStarter()` synthesizes a finished Turn locally — the answer text and the 3–4 hand-picked cards render immediately, no LLM call, no LightRAG retrieval, no `/api/concierge` round-trip.
+
+The carve-out only fires when:
+
+- the panel is in the empty state (no transcript yet), **and**
+- the visitor is on the homepage (`/`, `/ru`, `/hy`), **and**
+- they click one of the three starter chips.
+
+Anything else — free-form questions on the homepage, follow-ups after a starter, every non-homepage page — goes through the normal pipeline.
+
+**Why this trade-off:** the first impression is the highest-leverage moment in the whole funnel. Pristine brand copy, zero latency, zero hallucination risk on those three questions outweighs the cost of keeping their copy in code (and re-deploying when it changes).
+
+## Carve-out: widget UXCAT begin-test auth-gate
+
+When the widget's in-panel "Begin Test" CTA (rendered on `/uxcat` only) is clicked by an anonymous visitor, it does **not** navigate to `/uxcat/start-test`. Instead, it dispatches a `ks-aux-request-login` `CustomEvent` on the window.
+
+`UXCatLayout` listens for that event and opens its `LogInModal` — the same modal the in-page begin-test CTA opens. After a successful login the visitor can start the test from there. Logged-in visitors get navigated to `/uxcat/start-test` directly.
+
+Reason: matching the in-page CTA behavior so the widget never sends a fresh visitor to a guarded URL that just bounces them back.

Subject: [PATCH 02/38] fix(widget): drop in-card pick highlight + correct bias
 count to 100+
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Picked-card visual emphasis (orange border, tinted background, "Your
pick" badge) duplicated the host-page glow that already fires on the
same click. Removed the rendering + orphan CSS rules. The c.picked
data stays in flight — the server still gets last-pick context.

Curated UX Core blurb in pageIdentity.ts claimed "200+ entries"; the
real number is 100+. Updated en + ru so concierge landing turns stop
overstating it.

Subject: [PATCH 03/38] fix(widget): starter thinking-stream + dark-mode bold
 visibility
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Starter chips were dumping the full pre-canned answer in one frame —
read as obviously fake. Now: 750ms think-beat with the caret, then
the answer types in chunks (~3 chars / 14ms), cards land at the end.
Matches the feel of the real concierge stream so the carve-out reads
like the agent thinking, not a static FAQ.

Bold text inside the answer (e.g. "UX Core" in the new starters) was
inheriting #1f1d1a from .ks-aux-a strong, invisible on the dark
panel background. Added a dark-mode override using the same cream
emphasis tone used elsewhere.

Subject: [PATCH 04/38] fix(widget): bump starter thinking pause to 1.5s

750ms read short compared to the real concierge round-trip; 1.5s
lines the carve-out up with live LLM tempo so the visitor can't
tell which path served them.

Subject: [PATCH 05/38] feat(widget): typewrite ALL bot text through one
 throttle
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Previously only the homepage starters faked a typing stream; the real
concierge answer and the landing turns either burst (server chunks
arrive in chunks, not chars) or popped in fully formed. Visitor could
tell which path served them — starters felt alive, everything else
felt static.

Extracted createTypewriter() inside the component — accepts a target
via push() (grow as chunks arrive, or set once for pre-canned text)
and finalises via finish() once displayed catches up. Routed through
it:

- runQuery: server chunks land on push(), finish() attaches cards.
- runStarter: refactored to use the same helper (one tempo source).
- fireOrganicLanding + pendingLanding effect: text reveals at the
  same typewriter tempo instead of slamming in.

Subject: [PATCH 06/38] fix(widget): trim Q1 answer + 2.2s think pause + drop
 card hover halo
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Q1 starter ended with a sentence enumerating every sub-project — too
much text on first contact. Trimmed to the flagship UX Core line in
both en and ru.

Starter think-beat 1.5s → 2.2s. Matches the real concierge round-trip
better when the visitor has just clicked something for the first time.

Card hover (light + dark): dropped the orange border + box-shadow +
translateX. The host-page glow on the matching tile already says
"this is the destination" without the widget echoing the same accent.

Subject: [PATCH 07/38] fix(widget): exclude widget anchors from host-highlight
 scan
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

findHostMatches did a document-wide querySelectorAll for matching
hrefs, which swept in the widget's own card <a> elements and got
them painted with the host-page glow class (orange border + breathing
shadow). The visitor saw all of their own cards lit up as if they
were "destinations on this page" — which they aren't; they're the
nav surface that points off-widget.

Added isInsideWidget(el) — walks parents until any class starting
with `ks-aux-` is hit — and filters both anchor passes through it.
Card anchors stay calm; real host-page links keep getting the glow.

Subject: [PATCH 08/38] revert(widget): restore card hover + picked + YOUR PICK
 badge
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tore these out chasing a phantom — thought the orange highlight on
all cards was hover/picked bleed when it was actually the host-page
highlighter (findHostMatches) sweeping the widget's own anchors. Real
root cause already fixed in c256772.

Restoring:
- .ks-aux-card:hover (light + dark) — clickable cue.
- .ks-aux-card-picked + badge (light + dark) — shows the last card
  the visitor actually clicked.
- yourPick TEXT key (en) + JSX rendering of the badge.

keeps running on every other page.

Once-per-session via sessionStorage keyed off canonical pathname —
revisits in the same tab get nothing (not curated, not server) so the
visitor isn't nagged. Card click into an already-fired curated page
silently drops the placeholder.

Same typewriter throttle + 2.2s thinking pause as the homepage
starters, so the carve-out reads at the same tempo as a live LLM
round-trip. Cards retain host-page highlight (findHostMatches still
finds matching tiles, including hash anchors like /ai-atlas#terminal).

On UXCG (and any UX Core family page), a "what do I do here" SPATIAL
turn was getting cards to AI Atlas / Longevity / Articles in the
recommendation slot — the LLM picked them because the candidate pool
shipped every surface card regardless of intent, and UXCG-internal
library hits were thin so the off-family surfaces won by default.

Added a family map (UX Core family = uxcore, uxcg, uxcp, uxcat,
uxcore-api; standalones each their own) and a SPATIAL-only filter on
buildCandidates that drops any surface OR library candidate whose top
namespace isn't in the visitor's family. Empty pool → LLM returns 0
cards, which is the right behaviour on a "go deeper here" turn.

GLOBAL turns ("show me articles", "Longevity") are untouched — visitor
intent still wins and cross-project pivots happen.

Subject: [PATCH 11/38] fix(concierge): catch generic SPATIAL intent ("what
 should I do", "this")
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

detectIntent only returned 'spatial' when the visitor named the
current section explicitly ("more biases" on /uxcore). The most common
spatial signals — "what should I do here", "what's this", "show me
around", "это" / "что тут" / "глубже про это" — fell through to
'neutral', which meant the SPATIAL filter on the candidate pool
never fired and AI Atlas / Longevity surface cards kept showing up
on /uxcg "what do I do" turns (Wolf flagged earlier today).

Added GENERIC_SPATIAL regex bank — en + ru, covering this/here/where
am I/what should I do/show me/explain this/walk me through/глубже про
это family. Only returns 'spatial' when the page has a known section
(here !== null), so unknown-page neutrals stay neutral.

Subject: [PATCH 12/38] feat(concierge): UXCG sibling-question bridge for
 /uxcg/<slug> pages
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

On a UXCG question page LightRAG retrieval is often sparse — the page
itself is the answer, neighbouring questions live as separate Strapi
entries that may or may not be indexed. The candidate pool would end
up empty after the family filter, and the visitor got no "go deeper
inside UXCG" path.

New module src/lib/widget/uxcgBridge.ts fetches the full 63-question
catalog from Strapi once per process (en + ru), inverts the
relatedQuestions JSON field into a slug → siblings map, and caches
in-process. Concierge awaits getUxcgBridgeEntry when the visitor is
on /uxcg/<slug> and injects up to 2 siblings as high-score library
candidates so the LLM has real picks even on a cold LightRAG.

Phase 2 will add the question → underlying bias mapping (currently
ambiguous in answer text {{N}} refs and skipped for now).

Subject: [PATCH 13/38] chore(widget): public name "Copilot" + thinner host
 highlight
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Panel header now shows "Copilot" wordmark next to the pulsing dot.
- Returning-visitor pill copy: "Your copilot is here" / "Ваш copilot
  тут" — replaces the older "I'm always here" / "Я всегда тут".
- Host-page tile highlight: outline trimmed from 6px → 2px; breathe +
  flash + glow shadow ranges roughly halved. Was overpowering the
  underlying tile; now reads as a hint, not a megaphone.

Subject: [PATCH 14/38] =?UTF-8?q?feat(widget):=20identity=20query-trigger?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=20short-circuits=20=E2=80=94=208=20clusters=20bilingual?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Brand-critical "about us" questions ("what is keepsimple", "is it
free", "where do I start", "who's Wolf", "why open-source", "300k
users credibility", "how can I contribute", "how do you make money")
now render a hand-crafted answer locally — no LLM round-trip, no
drift. Same think-pause (2.2s) + typewriter as homepage starters so
the canned path reads like a live response.

Each cluster has a bilingual regex bank + en + ru canned answer + 3
nominated cards. Fires on any page; misses fall through to the real
concierge as before.

Funding cluster reflects Wolf's exact framing: keepsimple is funded
solely from his own pocket. No ads, no paid tier, no investor
pressure.

Subject: [PATCH 15/38] fix(widget): slower, char-by-char typewriter
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Previous tempo (~215 chars/sec from 3 chars / 14ms) read as firehose,
not as someone composing. Dropped to 1 char per 22ms ≈ 45 chars/sec
— smooth char-by-char reveal across starters, landing turns, and the
real concierge stream. Settle hold bumped to 200ms so cards land
slightly later than the last typed character.

Subject: [PATCH 16/38] feat(concierge): zero-card rule on meta /
 conversational turns

When the visitor's query is a how-to-use-the-chat meta question, a
one-word ack ("ok", "thanks"), or pure conversational filler, ship
the prose with no cards. Cards on these turns push the visitor
sideways out of what they're already engaging with.

Two layers:
- LLM-side: explicit ZERO-CARDS rule in EN + RU system prompts.
- Server-side: bilingual keyword detector hard-gates the card-
  resolution block (and the bias-mention safety net) when the
  query matches a meta pattern, regardless of what the LLM
  nominated.

Примеры: «так мне просто написать проблему?», «как этим пользоваться?», «что ты умеешь?», «ок», «понял», «ясно», «спасибо», «круто», «ладно». На таких ходах посетитель работает с тем, что уже перед ним — карточки уводят в сторону и ломают это. Ответьте на мета-вопрос тепло, без карточек.
 - Первая реплика / знакомство → опирайтесь на surface-карточки (широкие направления).
 - Конкретный вопрос → опирайтесь на запись библиотеки, отвечающую на вопрос. При сильных совпадениях retrieval предпочитайте их surface-карточкам.

Проект, в котором он сейчас стоит, не отменяет того, что он только что попросил. Кросс-проектные пивоты — это правильный ход, когда намерение явное.

Subject: [PATCH 17/38] fix(widget): UXCAT Begin-Test CTA stays on curated
 landing turn

The CTA was gated on `isCurrentSpatial`, so any follow-up nav turn
(spurious title swap, in-page hash change, modal route) bumped the
"most recent spatial idx" off the curated UXCAT landing and the
Begin-Test button disappeared, even though the visitor was still
sitting on /uxcat.

Stamp `landingKey` on curated landing turns and gate the CTA on
`turn.landingKey === '/uxcat' && onUxcatRoot`. The button now stays
with the turn that earned it, for as long as the visitor is on the
Awareness Test page.

Subject: [PATCH 18/38] feat(copilot): Strapi session-log analytics + spec
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Mirror every Copilot session into our existing Strapi:

- Two new collections, `copilot-sessions` (one row per visitor) and
  `copilot-turns` (one row per event). Spec lives at
  `docs/copilot-analytics-strapi-spec.md` — Strapi admin paste-and-
  create. Both prefixed `copilot-*` and written via a write-only
  token (`STRAPI_COPILOT_TOKEN`) so existing content is untouched.
- Q&A turns logged server-side from inside /api/concierge after the
  response is built. Fire-and-forget; visitor never waits.
- CLEARs and card-clicks posted by the widget to /api/copilot/event
  via sendBeacon (survives unload), forwarded to Strapi from there.
- Auth-link detection on every turn: server reads NextAuth JWT via
  getToken; on first sighting it stamps linkedUser/linkedAt on the
  session row AND emits a kind=auth turn at that exact moment, so we
  can see when in the conversation the visitor signed up.
- Thread id: client-side localStorage, rotated on CLEAR, so transcripts
  naturally split into per-conversation blocks under the same sid.
- Inert when STRAPI_COPILOT_TOKEN is unset (local dev). Never queried
  at build time, so a Strapi outage never blocks deploy.

Wolf reads it in Strapi admin, filtered by env=prod for live
calibration. No custom admin UI in v1.

+## 3. Permissions
+
+- **Public role**: no access to either type.
+- **Authenticated role**: no access.
+- **New API token**: name `copilot-writer`, type **Custom**, permissions:
+  - `copilot-session`: `create`, `update` (no `find`, no `delete`)
+  - `copilot-turn`: `create` (no `find`, no `update`, no `delete`)
+- Token value goes into our Next.js env as `STRAPI_COPILOT_TOKEN` (added to DEV, staging, prod separately).
+
+---
+
+## 4. Reading the data
+
+Wolf reads sessions directly in the **Strapi admin panel** using his existing admin account. Filter by `env=prod` for live calibration; filter by `sessionId` to scroll a single transcript end-to-end. No custom UI needed for v1.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Hard guarantees
+
+- Both content types are prefixed `copilot-*` — cannot collide with any existing keepsimple content type.
+- Token is write-only and scoped strictly to these two types — cannot touch Articles, UXCG cases, UX Core biases, or anything else.
+- Neither type is queried at Next.js build time, so a Strapi outage cannot break a deploy.
+- Writes from the Next.js side are fire-and-forget — a failed Strapi write never blocks the visitor's reply.

@@ -136,3 +136,24 @@ When the widget's in-panel "Begin Test" CTA (rendered on `/uxcat` only) is click
 `UXCatLayout` listens for that event and opens its `LogInModal` — the same modal the in-page begin-test CTA opens. After a successful login the visitor can start the test from there. Logged-in visitors get navigated to `/uxcat/start-test` directly.
 
 Reason: matching the in-page CTA behavior so the widget never sends a fresh visitor to a guarded URL that just bounces them back.
+
+## Analytics: Strapi session log
+
+Every Copilot session is mirrored into our existing Strapi as two collections — `copilot-sessions` (one row per visitor) and `copilot-turns` (one row per event). Full spec: `docs/copilot-analytics-strapi-spec.md`.
+
+How it's wired:
+
+- **Visitor identity (`sid`)** — http-only `aux_sid` cookie minted on the visitor's first `/api/concierge` (or `/api/copilot/event`) call. Survives 30 days, scoped to the keepsimple host.
+- **Conversation thread (`threadId`)** — generated client-side, persisted in `localStorage` so it survives reloads. Rotated on every CLEAR so transcripts naturally split into per-conversation blocks under the same `sid`.
+- **Question + answer turns** — logged server-side from inside `/api/concierge` after the response is built. The fan-out is fire-and-forget; visitor never waits.
+- **CLEAR and card clicks** — posted by the widget to `/api/copilot/event` (uses `sendBeacon` when available so card clicks that precede a navigation still land). That endpoint forwards to Strapi.
+- **Auth link** — on every Q&A turn and every widget event, the server checks for a NextAuth JWT via `getToken`. If a user is signed in and the session row isn't linked yet, it stamps `linkedUser` + `linkedAt` AND writes a `kind=auth` turn at that moment — so we see exactly when in the conversation the visitor signed up.
+
+Hard guarantees:
+
+- Strapi collections are prefixed `copilot-*` and the write-only token (`STRAPI_COPILOT_TOKEN`) is scoped strictly to them. Cannot touch any existing content type.
+- Never queried at build time; a Strapi outage cannot break a deploy.
+- Every write is in a try/catch; visitor reply never waits on Strapi.
+- When `STRAPI_COPILOT_TOKEN` is unset, the analytics module is fully inert (returns immediately, no fetch attempted) — useful for local dev.
+
+Where Wolf reads it: Strapi admin panel, filtered by `env=prod` for live calibration. No custom admin UI in v1.

Subject: [PATCH 20/38] feat(copilot): four pre-rollout guardrails
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds src/lib/copilotSafety.ts and wires it into /api/concierge plus
the widget-event endpoint. All gates run BEFORE retrieval/LLM so
blocked or at-capacity turns cost us nothing.

1. Daily cost ceiling — COPILOT_DAILY_BUDGET_USD (default $5) gates
   every Q&A turn. Over the cap → polite "at capacity" reply, no
   LLM spend. UTC midnight reset. In-memory counter (single-replica
   Contabo container today).
2. Abuse moderation — one free OpenAI omni-moderation call per
   question. Flagged → polite refusal, no LLM spend, blocked turn
   logged with meta.blocked=true. Fails open when the key is missing
   or the API is down.
3. Prompt-injection hardening — visitor / page / history blocks
   fenced as <question>/<page>/<pageContent>/<history>; new
   INSTRUCTION SAFETY rule in EN + RU system prompts treats anything
   inside those fences as DATA, never instructions.
4. PII scrub on Strapi log — emails, phone-shaped runs, long digit
   sequences masked before they reach Strapi from /api/concierge or
   /api/copilot/event.

All four are env-tunable and degrade gracefully when dependencies
(OpenAI key, Strapi token, budget vars) are missing.

+## Safety layer
+
+`src/lib/copilotSafety.ts` adds four guardrails on every `/api/concierge` turn, gating BEFORE any retrieval or LLM call so blocked / at-capacity requests cost us nothing:
+
+1. **Daily cost ceiling.** `COPILOT_DAILY_BUDGET_USD` (default `$5`) × `COPILOT_AVG_CALL_USD` (default `$0.04`) decides when the breaker trips. Beyond the cap the visitor gets a polite "at capacity" reply; resets at UTC midnight. In-memory counter on the long-running container — fine for single-replica today; move to Redis once we scale horizontally.
+2. **Abuse moderation.** One OpenAI `omni-moderation-latest` call per question (~50–150ms, no cost). Hate / sex / self-harm / violence → polite refusal, no LLM spend, blocked turn logged with `meta.blocked=true` for review. Fails open if the moderation API is down or `OPENAI_API_KEY` is missing.
+3. **Prompt-injection hardening.** Every user-supplied or DOM-supplied block is wrapped in XML-ish fences (`<question>`, `<page>`, `<pageContent>`, `<history>`) and the system prompt's "INSTRUCTION SAFETY" rule treats anything inside those fences as DATA, never instructions. Visible attempts ("ignore previous instructions", role-switch demands, prompt-dumps) get a short on-brand pivot reply with no acknowledgement.
+4. **PII scrub on the Strapi log.** Emails, phone numbers, and likely card-number runs are masked (`[email]` / `[phone]` / `[cc]`) before `query`, `answer`, `cardsShown`, `cardClicked`, and `meta` reach Strapi. Applied at both `/api/concierge` and `/api/copilot/event` boundaries.

+# I set out to build a search bar, I ended up with a copilot.
+
+This one's more technical than my usual. It starts with something I've wanted for years — a global search on keepsimple.io that could help visitors navigate the hundreds of pieces we've put on the project.
+
+What stopped me, for years, was the same thing that probably stops you from using most website searches — they suck. You use one once, the result is mediocre, and you forget the search bar exists. I didn't want dead weight on the project. A project like keepsimple, full of unique work, deserves a search built for it — one that's actually friendly.
+
+The other constraint was cost. The project is self-funded and I can't stretch the budget. If I mess up with LLM or service APIs, thousands of users — most of them spending more than three minutes per session — will bankrupt me in a week.
+
+So four criteria: high fidelity, friendly, dirt-cheap, unique.
+
+## High fidelity
+
+Tackled this first. Ruled out a pile of mediocre approaches and landed on LightRAG — an open-source project out of universities in Beijing and Hong Kong, and frankly an epic piece of engineering.
+
+Configuration at this point: visitor writes a message → LightRAG takes the question, uses gpt-4o-mini to expand it and match against the graph + vectors, returns ranked snippets with source URLs.
+
+## Friendly
+
+For this one I stepped away from the classic search bar entirely. Built a widget instead, called it Copilot, started prompting. The widget is just the frame — the actual friendliness has to come from the writer.
+
+Configuration at this point: Copilot takes the snippets and asks Claude Sonnet 4.6 to draft the answer in our voice — with OpenAI's gpt-4.1 as fallback.
+
+Total models in play: gpt-4o-mini (LightRAG's brain, index + query), text-embedding-3-small (vectors), Sonnet 4.6 (the writer). No Opus.
+
+## Dirt-cheap
+
+That model list above is the entire paid surface. LightRAG runs locally, the embeddings cost almost nothing, the retrieval pass doesn't bill at all — the only place the meter runs is the final Sonnet call. Cents a day across hundreds of pages and three languages.
+
+## Unique
+
+At this point I had a high-fidelity search that talked back like a regular LLM chatbot. Which was fine, except the "regular" part went directly against my unique criterion. So I made two more moves.
+
+The first move was a second indexing pass. The first pass had fed Copilot the article-style content. The second added a structured snapshot of every landing page on the site — every heading, every CTA, every paragraph, with a short text anchor for each. That gave Copilot two new powers at once. It now knows where the visitor is on the site. And when it recommends something that's also linked on the current page, it can light up the exact element — using the anchors stored on the server plus a live read of the page in the visitor's browser. Headings and CTAs are just text, so the indexing was trivial; the navigation feel is what changed. Copilot now gently nudges visitors toward the exact part of the page they should be clicking.
+
+The second move sits on top of LightRAG, not inside it. I wanted theme-based clusters across keepsimple — small orbits of related material — and a rule that, once we know what a visitor is reading, keeps their suggestions inside that orbit. So between LightRAG's snippets and the writer call, I added a thin server-side step that re-weights what comes back based on the visitor's page. A UX Core reader gets more UX Core. An AI Atlas reader gets more AI. Same logic as a social feed weighted toward your interests: when we know where you are, we keep you there.
+
+These two moves gave Copilot real character, specific to this site, at no extra cost.
+
+That's how I ended up building a thingy that closed my gestalt — a search bar that's none of the things I hated about search bars, and one I actually use.
+
+Next: the orbit logic up close — how the cluster weights actually move, and what makes a cluster a cluster.
+
+Stay safe. Learn and grow with us. Thanks.
+
+Wolf Alexanyan, Armenia, May 2026.

Subject: [PATCH 22/38] feat(copilot): swap analytics sink from Strapi to
 copilot-events Postgres
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Strapi was wrong for this — at our user base copilot-turn would balloon
past 100k rows per week and the admin panel would become unreadable.
Move the analytics sink to the copilot-events sibling service (Postgres
16, HTTP ingest at /track), and expand the event taxonomy to cover
visitor MOVEMENTS, not only Q&A.

- src/lib/copilotAnalytics.ts: thin HTTP client to copilot-events
  POST /track; uses COPILOT_EVENTS_URL + COPILOT_EVENTS_WRITE_TOKEN;
  same public exports (ensureSession, logTurn, markAuthLink, bumpThread)
  so call sites in /api/concierge + /api/copilot/event are untouched
  beyond comment refresh. Inert when env unset.
- src/pages/api/copilot/event.ts: accept new kinds (page_view, dwell,
  outbound_click) alongside existing clear / card_click / nav.
- widget: every page entry fires page_view; every exit fires dwell with
  ms-on-page (sealed=true on unload, uses sendBeacon); every outbound
  anchor click fires outbound_click with href + anchor text + target.
- docs: delete copilot-analytics-strapi-spec.md, add
  copilot-analytics-spec.md (Postgres-shaped); rewrite Analytics
  section of widget-architecture.md SSOT.

KeepSimple repo gains zero Postgres deps — DB lives in sibling
container; we're a thin HTTP client.

+# Copilot analytics — Postgres spec (copilot-events service)
+
+Goal: capture every Copilot session AND every visitor movement end-to-end so we can read transcripts, see who went where, watch dwell-time per page, and catch the anonymous → registered moment. Stored in the **copilot-events** sibling service (Postgres 16, sits next door, HTTP ingest at `COPILOT_EVENTS_URL`). KeepSimple side ships zero Postgres dependencies — it's a thin HTTP client.
+
+This supersedes the deleted `copilot-analytics-strapi-spec.md`. Strapi was wrong for this: at our user base the `copilot-turn` collection would balloon past 100k rows per week, the admin panel would become unreadable, and we'd only have Q&A — no nav, no clicks, no dwell.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Ingest endpoint
+
+The copilot-events service exposes a single ingest endpoint that upserts the session row and appends an event row in one shot.
+
+```
+POST /track
+Authorization: Bearer ${COPILOT_EVENTS_WRITE_TOKEN}
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "sid":       string  (required, browser-side session id)
+  "threadId":  string  (required, bumped on every CLEAR)
+  "kind":      string  (required, see event taxonomy below)
+  "env":       string  (required, dev | staging | prod)
+  "ts":        string  (optional, ISO timestamp; defaults to server now())
+  "lang":      string  (optional, en | ru | hy)
+  "pageUrl":   string  (optional, max 500 chars)
+  "pageTitle": string  (optional, max 300 chars)
+  "userAgent": string  (optional, max 500 chars)
+  "firstUrl":  string  (optional, max 500 chars)
+  "payload":   object  (optional, event-specific fields)
+}
+
+→ 204 No Content       on success
+→ 400 {error}          on missing required fields
+→ 401 {error}          on bad token
+→ 500 {error}          on DB insert failure
+```
+
+The service auto-creates the session row on first sighting (reads `lang`, `userAgent`, `firstUrl` from the first event), increments `event_count` on every subsequent event, and has a special case for `kind=auth` with `payload.user` — that one stamps `linked_user` + `linked_at` on the session row.
+
+Read endpoints (`GET /sessions`, `GET /sessions/{sid}/events`) are token-gated on a separate `COPILOT_EVENTS_READ_TOKEN` — not used by the KeepSimple side.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Event taxonomy
+
+| kind             | Fires when                                   | Carries in `payload`                                         |
+| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `session_start`  | First touch from a new sid                   | —                                                            |
+| `question`       | Visitor sends a Copilot message              | `query` (PII-scrubbed)                                       |
+| `answer`         | Server finishes building the bot reply       | `answer`, `cardsShown`, `mode`                               |
+| `clear`          | Visitor hits CLEAR (rotates thread)          | —                                                            |
+| `card_click`     | Visitor clicks a Copilot card                | `cardClicked: {title, url, tier}`                            |
+| `nav`            | Widget-visible nav chip (internal nav)       | —                                                            |
+| `page_view`      | Every entry into a page (mount + URL change) | —                                                            |
+| `dwell`          | Every exit from a page (in-app + unload)     | `dwellMs`, `pageUrl`, `pageTitle`, `sealed` (true on unload) |
+| `outbound_click` | Click on an anchor to a different origin     | `href`, `anchorText`, `target`                               |
+| `auth`           | NextAuth session detected on this sid        | `user` (email or sub)                                        |
+
+New kinds are forward-compatible — the service accepts any string and stores the rest in JSONB `payload`. No schema migration needed when we add more.

+
+## 4. KeepSimple-side wiring
+
+- **Writer**: `src/lib/copilotAnalytics.ts`. Exports `ensureSession`, `logTurn`, `markAuthLink`, `bumpThread`, `copilotAnalyticsEnabled`. Every call is fire-and-forget; failures land in `console.warn`, never bubble to the visitor.
+- **Server-side Q&A fan-out**: `src/pages/api/concierge.ts` calls `logTurn({kind:'question'})` + `logTurn({kind:'answer'})` after the response is built.
+- **Widget event endpoint**: `src/pages/api/copilot/event.ts` receives non-Q&A events (`clear`, `card_click`, `nav`, `page_view`, `dwell`, `outbound_click`, `auth_probe`) from the widget. Reads the `aux_sid` cookie, does the NextAuth-detection / `markAuthLink` dance, then dispatches to `logTurn` / `bumpThread`.
+- **Widget emitter**: `widget/src/api.ts` → `postCopilotEvent(...)`. Uses `navigator.sendBeacon` so card_click and dwell-on-unload survive page navigation.
+- **Page-movement capture**: `widget/src/AskUxCore.tsx` nav `useEffect` fires `page_view` on every page entry, `dwell` on every page exit (in-app or unload), and `outbound_click` on any anchor whose href crosses origin.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Environment variables
+
+| Var                          | Where  | Notes                                                   |
+| ---------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `COPILOT_EVENTS_URL`         | server | e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:5046` (DEV), set per environment |
+| `COPILOT_EVENTS_WRITE_TOKEN` | server | Bearer token for `POST /track`. Inert when unset.       |
+
+Both are SERVER-ONLY — never `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`. The widget never talks to the copilot-events service directly; it always goes through `/api/copilot/event` so the token stays on the server.
+
+Local dev without the sibling container: leave both unset. The writer becomes a no-op and the rest of the widget works as normal.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Reading the data
+
+For now: query Postgres directly (or hit `GET /sessions` and `GET /sessions/{sid}/events` with the read token). A dedicated dashboard / admin UI is a future epic, not v1.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Hard guarantees
+
+- The KeepSimple repo has **zero** Postgres dependencies (no `pg`, no `prisma`, no `DATABASE_URL`). The DB lives in the sibling container.
+- Neither endpoint is queried at Next.js build time, so a copilot-events outage cannot break a deploy.
+- All writes are fire-and-forget — a 5xx, a missing token, or a timeout NEVER blocks the visitor's reply.
+- PII scrub runs before any free-text field hits the wire (`scrubPii` in `src/lib/copilotSafety.ts`).
+- The widget never sees the write-token. It always proxies through `/api/copilot/event`.

-
-- **Public role**: no access to either type.
-- **Authenticated role**: no access.

-  - `copilot-session`: `create`, `update` (no `find`, no `delete`)
-  - `copilot-turn`: `create` (no `find`, no `update`, no `delete`)
-- Token value goes into our Next.js env as `STRAPI_COPILOT_TOKEN` (added to DEV, staging, prod separately).

-## 4. Reading the data
-
-Wolf reads sessions directly in the **Strapi admin panel** using his existing admin account. Filter by `env=prod` for live calibration; filter by `sessionId` to scroll a single transcript end-to-end. No custom UI needed for v1.
-
----

-## 5. Hard guarantees
-
-- Both content types are prefixed `copilot-*` — cannot collide with any existing keepsimple content type.
-- Token is write-only and scoped strictly to these two types — cannot touch Articles, UXCG cases, UX Core biases, or anything else.
-- Neither type is queried at Next.js build time, so a Strapi outage cannot break a deploy.
-- Writes from the Next.js side are fire-and-forget — a failed Strapi write never blocks the visitor's reply.

-## Analytics: Strapi session log
+## Analytics: copilot-events (Postgres)
 
-Every Copilot session is mirrored into our existing Strapi as two collections — `copilot-sessions` (one row per visitor) and `copilot-turns` (one row per event). Full spec: `docs/copilot-analytics-strapi-spec.md`.
+Every Copilot session AND every visitor movement is mirrored into the **copilot-events** sibling service (Postgres 16, separate container, HTTP ingest). Full spec: `docs/copilot-analytics-spec.md`.
+
+Why Postgres and not Strapi: at our user base the `copilot-turn` collection would balloon past 100k rows per week and the Strapi admin panel would become unreadable. Postgres + a thin ingest API gives us proper indexed event storage, room for nav / dwell / outbound-click events (not only Q&A), and zero impact on the content-Strapi.
 
 How it's wired:
 
 - **Visitor identity (`sid`)** — http-only `aux_sid` cookie minted on the visitor's first `/api/concierge` (or `/api/copilot/event`) call. Survives 30 days, scoped to the keepsimple host.
 - **Conversation thread (`threadId`)** — generated client-side, persisted in `localStorage` so it survives reloads. Rotated on every CLEAR so transcripts naturally split into per-conversation blocks under the same `sid`.
 - **Question + answer turns** — logged server-side from inside `/api/concierge` after the response is built. The fan-out is fire-and-forget; visitor never waits.
-- **CLEAR and card clicks** — posted by the widget to `/api/copilot/event` (uses `sendBeacon` when available so card clicks that precede a navigation still land). That endpoint forwards to Strapi.
+- **CLEAR, card clicks, nav, page_view, dwell, outbound_click** — posted by the widget to `/api/copilot/event` (uses `sendBeacon` when available so events that precede a navigation still land). That endpoint forwards each event to the copilot-events `POST /track` ingest.
+- **Page-movement capture (page_view + dwell + outbound_click)** — the widget's nav `useEffect` fires `page_view` on every page entry, `dwell` on every page exit (in-app or unload) with elapsed ms-on-page, and `outbound_click` on any anchor whose href crosses origin. This is how we reconstruct visitor journeys ("where did they go after the UXCG case page?") without polling.
 - **Auth link** — on every Q&A turn and every widget event, the server checks for a NextAuth JWT via `getToken`. If a user is signed in and the session row isn't linked yet, it stamps `linkedUser` + `linkedAt` AND writes a `kind=auth` turn at that moment — so we see exactly when in the conversation the visitor signed up.
 
 Hard guarantees:
 
-- Strapi collections are prefixed `copilot-*` and the write-only token (`STRAPI_COPILOT_TOKEN`) is scoped strictly to them. Cannot touch any existing content type.
-- Never queried at build time; a Strapi outage cannot break a deploy.
-- Every write is in a try/catch; visitor reply never waits on Strapi.
-- When `STRAPI_COPILOT_TOKEN` is unset, the analytics module is fully inert (returns immediately, no fetch attempted) — useful for local dev.
+- The KeepSimple repo has **zero** Postgres dependencies. The DB lives in the sibling container; the writer is a thin HTTP client.
+- Never queried at build time; a copilot-events outage cannot break a deploy.
+- Every write is in a try/catch; visitor reply never waits on the analytics service.
+- When `COPILOT_EVENTS_URL` or `COPILOT_EVENTS_WRITE_TOKEN` is unset, the analytics module is fully inert (returns immediately, no fetch attempted) — useful for local dev without the sibling container.
+- The widget never sees the write-token. It always proxies through `/api/copilot/event` so the token stays server-side.
 
-Where Wolf reads it: Strapi admin panel, filtered by `env=prod` for live calibration. No custom admin UI in v1.
+Where Wolf reads it: query Postgres directly, or hit `GET /sessions` / `GET /sessions/{sid}/events` on the copilot-events service with the read-token. A proper dashboard is a future epic, not v1.

 1. **Daily cost ceiling.** `COPILOT_DAILY_BUDGET_USD` (default `$5`) × `COPILOT_AVG_CALL_USD` (default `$0.04`) decides when the breaker trips. Beyond the cap the visitor gets a polite "at capacity" reply; resets at UTC midnight. In-memory counter on the long-running container — fine for single-replica today; move to Redis once we scale horizontally.
 2. **Abuse moderation.** One OpenAI `omni-moderation-latest` call per question (~50–150ms, no cost). Hate / sex / self-harm / violence → polite refusal, no LLM spend, blocked turn logged with `meta.blocked=true` for review. Fails open if the moderation API is down or `OPENAI_API_KEY` is missing.
 3. **Prompt-injection hardening.** Every user-supplied or DOM-supplied block is wrapped in XML-ish fences (`<question>`, `<page>`, `<pageContent>`, `<history>`) and the system prompt's "INSTRUCTION SAFETY" rule treats anything inside those fences as DATA, never instructions. Visible attempts ("ignore previous instructions", role-switch demands, prompt-dumps) get a short on-brand pivot reply with no acknowledgement.

From f03af718d3baf1aa2cc4a92def42ddf673a0343e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: manager <alexanyanwolf@gmail.com>
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 14:34:19 +0000
Subject: [PATCH 23/38] feat(admin): DEV-only Copilot session viewer at
 /admin/copilot-sessions
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Wolf wanted a way to actually see what's landing in the copilot-events
store without a Postgres CLI. Two server-rendered pages, hard-gated
by NEXT_PUBLIC_ENV — staging and prod return 404, period.

- /admin/copilot-sessions: recent sessions table (env tabs dev/staging/
  prod, last 100), columns: started, sid, lang, event count, thread
  count, linked user, first URL.
- /admin/copilot-sessions/[sid]: per-session detail — header metadata
  + chronological event ribbon with human-readable bodies per kind
  (question/answer transcripts, card-click target, outbound href,
  dwell seconds, page entries, auth, clear).
- src/lib/copilotEventsRead.ts: thin server-side client to the
  copilot-events GET endpoints; uses a separate COPILOT_EVENTS_READ_TOKEN.

Token never crosses to the browser — all fetches happen in
getServerSideProps. Inert (404) when the token isn't set, so the
absence of read access on staging/prod is the safe default.

 Both are SERVER-ONLY — never `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`. The widget never talks to the copilot-events service directly; it always goes through `/api/copilot/event` so the token stays on the server.

+# CLAUDE.md — keepsimple-merged (for Claude Code agents)
+
+This file is loaded by Claude Code at session start. Human-readable agent guidelines live in `AGENTS.md` next to it; this file is the machine-facing version.
+
+## Code search — prefer CodeGraph over Grep
+
+This repo is indexed by **CodeGraph** (MCP server `codegraph`, registered globally). Symbol/structure queries are sub-millisecond there and dramatically cheaper than grep. Reach for it FIRST when you have a name:
+
+- `codegraph_search` — find a symbol by name (kind + location + signature in one shot)
+- `codegraph_callers` / `codegraph_callees` — function-call graph navigation
+- `codegraph_context` — fastest onboarding for "what is this file/feature about?"
+- `codegraph_impact` — blast radius before a rename or refactor
+- `codegraph_files` — what's in a directory + per-file symbol counts
+
+Use **Grep / Glob only when** the query is a *concept* with no symbol name ("where do we handle the Cohere fallback?"), or when a CodeGraph query returned nothing. Index lags writes ~500ms; if you just edited a file, give it a turn before re-querying.
+
+## Everything else
+
+See `AGENTS.md` for repo conventions, build/test commands, and contribution rules.

Subject: [PATCH 26/38] fix(widget): keep collapse chevron in the header row
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Header grid had four columns (dot, brand, immersion, CLEAR) but the
collapse chevron was a fifth child — grid spilled it onto a second
row, eating vertical space the chat needs. Bump grid-template-columns
to five and the chevron sits next to CLEAR as intended.

Subject: [PATCH 27/38] chore(admin): diagnostic on copilot-session detail
 empty state
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The detail page shows "Session not found" without saying why. When
the list works but the per-sid endpoint fails, the cause is ambiguous
(token? CF route? service error?). Surface the actual fetch outcome
— URL hit, HTTP status, body snippet — under the empty card so the
mismatch is debuggable from the page itself.

Subject: [PATCH 32/38] fix(admin): sanitize copilot-session props via JSON
 round-trip

Next.js was silently dropping the session + events props because the
object graph from the copilot-events service contained a value Next's
prop serializer wouldn't accept (typically a Date or an undefined-
nested field). Round-tripping through JSON.stringify yields a clean
plain-object/array that the framework forwards unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 33/38] fix(admin): pass session detail as a single JSON string
 prop

Next.js kept dropping the session object prop between getServerSideProps
and the page component even after a JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))
sanitize. Bypass the framework's prop serializer entirely by stringifying
the whole result into a single 'payload' string prop, then parse on the
page. Pre-build is happy, and the actual transcript renders.

Subject: [PATCH 34/38] fix(copilot): drop redundant session_start events
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The copilot-events service auto-creates the session row on the first
event of any kind via INSERT ... ON CONFLICT COALESCE, so a dedicated
session_start write was pure noise — every visitor was racking up
dozens of them in the timeline. Carry lang / userAgent / firstUrl on
every track call instead; the service still seeds the session-row
metadata from whichever non-null value lands first.

- session_start removed from EventKind union.
- ensureSession() kept as a no-op shim for any future caller.
- Question / answer / card_click / nav / page_view / dwell /
  outbound_click now all forward the session-row seed fields.

Subject: [PATCH 35/38] fix(admin): hide legacy session_start rows in session
 detail timeline

Writer side stopped emitting session_start (1a4bceb), but historic
events still sit in the DB and were rendering as empty rows with just
the timestamp + kind label. Filter the event list before render so the
timeline is clean for sessions that pre-date the writer fix.

Subject: [PATCH 36/38] feat(copilot): visibility-aware dwell + tab_close +
 return-gap markers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Dwell was firing wall-clock time on a tab that may have sat hidden in
the background for hours, producing readings like "spent 7400s on
Copilot sessions — admin". And it was double-firing on title-only
DOM mutations + on both beforeunload and pagehide.

Reshape:
- Dwell now counts only the time document.visibilityState === 'visible'.
  Title-only changes no longer trigger a dwell (URL must actually
  change). Payload field renamed dwellMs → activeMs.
- New event kind 'tab_close' replaces the old "sealed dwell" boolean.
  Single-fire guarded by a sealedRef so beforeunload + pagehide don't
  duplicate.
- Admin renderer detects tab_close → next live event ≥ 60s and inserts
  a "↺ returned 2h 14m later" gap banner.
- Legacy rows still render: dwell falls back to dwellMs when activeMs
  is absent.

Subject: [PATCH 37/38] fix(copilot): accept tab_close kind at the event
 endpoint

The /api/copilot/event handler has an explicit switch over event
kinds; tab_close was missing, so the widget's new tab_close events
were 204'd but never forwarded to the copilot-events service. Add
it next to dwell.

- widget/api.ts: add `tab_close` to CopilotEventKind, drop unused
  `auth_probe` ghost entry that had no handler.
- concierge.ts: rewrite relative imports to use `@lib` aliases;
  extract `isMetaTurn`, `PROJECT_FAMILIES`, `topSegment`, `familyOf`,
  `inSameFamily` to `src/lib/widget/conciergeHelpers.ts`.
- copilotAnalytics.ts: delete `ensureSession` no-op shim — it had no
  callers and silently misled anyone who tried to use it.
- copilotEventsRead.ts: drop `READ_LIB_REVISION` debug constant and
  its admin-page usage; document `getSessionDetail` debug field as
  admin-only since it embeds the internal service URL.
- copilotSafety.ts: document the daily budget cap as a *soft*
  in-process counter that resets on container restart.
- copilot/event.ts + concierge.ts: add `Secure` flag to the session
  cookie when the request is HTTPS (detected via x-forwarded-proto
  or socket.encrypted); kept off for local http dev.
- .gitignore: ignore `docker-compose.dev.yml`, `docker-compose.override.yml`,
  and `/docs/` going forward. Remove `docker-compose.dev.yml` from
  tracking (was committed by accident on this branch).
- AGENTS.md: add "Commit Hygiene" section so future agents audit
  `git status` before pushing and drop personal/local files instead
  of carrying them into PRs.

UXCatLayout import order: verified clean against `eslint-plugin-simple-import-sort`
config (no reorder needed; review's claim was based on a different
ordering than what the rule actually enforces).

`pageIdentity.ts` "100+ biases" copy: matches the canonical
description used elsewhere in the project, no further change.

+## Commit Hygiene — never push noise
+
+Before every commit and before every push, audit `git status` and `git diff --cached --stat` and remove anything that doesn't belong in the change set. Specifically:
+
+- **Personal developer files** (`docker-compose.dev.yml`, `docker-compose.override.yml`, local `.env.*`, editor configs, scratch notes) MUST NOT be committed. They live only on the dev machine; the repo has no use for them.
+- **Working / scratch docs** under `/docs` are gitignored. Anything you want shared belongs in `README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, or a CLAUDE.md — not a loose markdown file in `/docs/`.
+- **Build output** (the widget bundle, `.next/`, `dist/`) is gitignored. If it shows up in `git status`, something is wrong with the build script, not the gitignore.
+- **Debug artifacts** (revision constants like `READ_LIB_REVISION = 'v4'`, console.logs left over from a debug session, no-op shim exports kept "for safety") get removed before the PR opens — they age into rot otherwise.
+
+If you find one of these staged or already committed in your branch, drop it with `git rm` (or `git restore --staged`) and add it to `.gitignore` so the next agent can't trip on it. The `.gitignore` is the durable fix; deleting the file alone is not.
