Claude 98083cd8d6 Design Phase 9 - operator document management
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  withdrawn at all.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  pool_enabled, orthogonal to superseded: one is a claim about the document,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  withdrawn document does not make it citable.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  - ingest_file() always inserts superseded = FALSE, so `--all` re-ingests a
    superseded revision as live.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.

# Authelia access rules — the additions, as text
**This file is documentation, not configuration. Never commit the real
`~/authelia/configuration.yml`, and never generate a replacement for it.**
It contains the AD bind account, session secrets and the Duo integration for
every service on the host. The four hostnames below are the only part of it
this project touches.
## What has to change
Four hostnames join the existing `HTTPS_UserAccess` `two_factor` rule in
`~/authelia/configuration.yml`, under `access_control.rules`:
| Hostname | Phase | Serves |
|---|---|---|
| `lf.yokogawa.tech` | 2 | Langfuse — traces, prompts, eval runs |
| `cube.yokogawa.tech` | 5 | Cube semantic layer, playground and REST API |
| `api.yokogawa.tech` | 6 | `ai-api` FastAPI |
| `ai.yokogawa.tech` | 7 | `ai-web` operator UI |
Phase 9 adds no hostname. It adds one **path-scoped rule** on an existing one —
see "Phase 9: the document publisher rule" below.
The shape of the addition — the domain list on the existing trailing rule gains
these entries, the policy and subject stay exactly as they already are:
```yaml
access_control:
rules:
# ... existing rules unchanged ...
- domain:
# ... existing domains unchanged ...
- lf.yokogawa.tech # added <date>, AI PoC Phase 2
- cube.yokogawa.tech # added <date>, AI PoC Phase 5
- api.yokogawa.tech # added <date>, AI PoC Phase 6
- ai.yokogawa.tech # added <date>, AI PoC Phase 7
policy: two_factor
subject:
- group:HTTPS_UserAccess
```
Add each hostname at the phase that needs it. Every domain added here must also
have a Caddyfile block with `import authelia` (`caddy/ai-routes.caddy`), and
every Caddyfile block must have a rule here. One without the other is a hole.
## Phase 9: the document publisher rule
Operator document upload splits the API in two. Anyone in `HTTPS_UserAccess`
may ask a question and upload a document for review. **Approving** a document —
which is what makes it citable, and what decides whether a superseded revision
stops being citable — needs a second group, `AI_DocPublishers`.
```yaml
access_control:
rules:
# ... existing rules unchanged ...
# MUST come BEFORE the general api.yokogawa.tech rule. Authelia applies the
# FIRST matching rule and stops. Below it, this rule is dead and every
# authenticated user can approve a procedure revision.
- domain: api.yokogawa.tech
resources:
- '^/docs/.*'
policy: two_factor
subject:
- group:AI_DocPublishers # added <date>, AI PoC Phase 9
# ... the existing trailing rule, unchanged, still carries
# api.yokogawa.tech for everyone in HTTPS_UserAccess ...
```
Three things about this rule specifically:
- **`AI_DocPublishers` must be created in AD with DIRECT membership.** The same
trap as `HTTPS_UserAccess`: a user inside a nested group is silently denied,
with no useful log line. `svc-authelia` is read-only and cannot fix it.
- **It is not the only check.** `ai-api` re-reads `Remote-Groups` and returns
403 on approve, reject and supersede. This rule protects the whole `/docs`
path; the API protects the three operations that matter, and survives this
rule being reordered or dropped in a future edit of a file nobody diffs.
- **Verify it by calling the API directly**, as a user who is authenticated but
not a publisher. The UI hides the buttons from that user, which proves
nothing at all:
```bash
curl -si https://api.yokogawa.tech/docs/uploads/<id>/approve -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{}' # expect 403
```
## How to apply it
```bash
# 1. Back up first. There are plenty of .bak-* precedents on the host.
sudo cp ~/authelia/configuration.yml ~/authelia/configuration.yml.bak-ai-$(date +%Y%m%d)
# 2. Edit with sudo - the file is root-owned. ~/apply_rule.py rewrites the
# trailing rule if you prefer it to hand-editing.
sudo nano ~/authelia/configuration.yml
# 3. ANNOUNCE FIRST - this logs out every active user on every service.
docker compose -f ~/authelia-compose.yml restart authelia
# 4. Verify. "Up" is not proof.
curl -sI https://ai.yokogawa.tech # expect 302 -> auth portal
docker logs --tail 50 authelia
```
## Things that bite
- **Restarting Authelia logs out every active user on the host**, including
whoever is mid-demo on Grafana. Announce it, and batch the domain additions
so you restart once per phase rather than once per hostname.
- **AD group membership must be DIRECT.** Authelia resolves direct membership
only; a user inside a nested group silently gets denied with no useful log
line. Before Phase 7, confirm the demo operator account is a direct member of
`HTTPS_UserAccess` and is Duo-enrolled. `svc-authelia` is read-only and
cannot fix membership for you.
- **Rule order is a security control, not a style choice.** First match wins.
A path-scoped rule placed after the domain rule it narrows is inert, and
nothing warns you — the service keeps working, for everybody.
- **A missing rule fails open at the wrong layer.** Caddy will happily serve a
hostname that has `import authelia` before the rule exists — Authelia then
applies its default policy. Add the rule in the same change as the Caddyfile
block and verify the 302 before telling anyone the URL.
- Restarting Authelia is also the supported way to refresh someone's group
membership after an AD change.
