A single-page explainer for people who will not read the build spec: how a
question becomes an answer, the four lanes and why they are separate, the four
tools the assistant may reach for, where the knowledge comes from, and what is
live against what is only built. Status snapshot as observed on the host,
21 August 2026.
Kept at the repository root beside the other narrative documents rather than in
docs/, which is gitignored and holds controlled plant documents. Listed in the
layout sections of README.md and the build spec so it is findable.
Note: it predates Phase 9 and so does not mention operator document upload,
withdrawal or pool curation. Its step table stops at 8.

Operators cannot add a document today: ingestion is CLI-only, needs a host
login and a TTY for confirm_header(), /datadisk/ai-docs is mounted read-only,
ai-api has no identity, and nothing in the stack has a role that can write
doc_chunks. This designs the way in, the way out, and control over what is in
the retrieval pool. Design and schema only - no router, worker or UI code yet.
Documents in (16.1-16.9, db/004):
upload -> pre-scan -> review -> approve -> published, with the header
confirmation moved from a terminal prompt to a review screen and recorded
rather than discarded. A CHECK constraint refuses an approved row without a
confirmed number, revision and effective date, so an API bug cannot skip it.
Three roles: agent_ro unchanged, uploads_rw writes the queue only, ingest_rw
writes doc_chunks and has no HTTP surface.
Documents out (16.10-16.11, db/005):
--supersede needs a revision to keep, so a cancelled procedure cannot be
withdrawn at all. Adds withdraw (immediate, reversible, audited), restore
(refused while another revision is live) and purge (off by default). A
column grant plus a trigger let the web-facing role make a document less
citable and never more.
The pool (16.13-16.15, db/006):
pool_enabled, orthogonal to superseded: one is a claim about the document,
the other about the corpus. Retrieval requires both, so re-enabling a
withdrawn document does not make it citable. Named profiles and a
per-request override let a demo trim the corpus without mutating state on a
shared live host, and every reduced-pool answer carries a banner with the
document count, following the used_fixture_data precedent.
Two existing defects found and documented while designing this:
- ai-ingest takes PGUSER=agent_ro from api.env, a SELECT-only role, so the
Phase 3 command in the README cannot write doc_chunks (16.1).
- ingest_file() always inserts superseded = FALSE, so `--all` re-ingests a
superseded revision as live. --supersede survives only until the next bulk
run (16.10).
One commit rather than three: the upload, withdrawal and pool designs
interleave in the same spec, README and compose files.

Verified on lin001 over SSH on 2026-08-20, read-only:
- Port 502 is bound to 10.0.0.17, not 0.0.0.0, so unauthenticated Modbus is
not internet-reachable at the Docker level. This was an open risk in §3 and
an unchecked item in §15; it is now a confirmation. openplc-runtime also
publishes 8443 (the Runtime web UI) on the same private address, which the
spec did not mention.
- openplc-runtime is not the only published port on the host: caddy, wireguard,
mosquitto and chirpstack-gateway-bridge all publish on 0.0.0.0. The
no-published-ports rule still applies in full to what we build, but the
"one deliberate exception" framing was wrong and invited over-reading.
- Port 22 is open to the internet. Added to §15 as an open item for the same
NSG review.
- 21 containers running, not 22; no stopped containers.
- /datadisk is 46% used with InfluxDB at 55 GB, up from 43%/52 GB. Recorded
the growth rate so it can be budgeted for.
CLAUDE.md restates two of these rules and is updated to match.

Build spec and host brief carried in from C:\Claude and WRPS/02-env; the
plant model (equipment, tags, alarm bitmask, enums, unit conversions) is
derived from WRPS/04-plc/register-map.csv, WRPS/05-scada/modbus/scada-points.csv
and WRPS-CTL-003.
