Separate local parsing from model indexing, bind review decisions to immutable manifests, persist vectors behind active profiles, and expose retrieval, chat, evaluation, and document workflows through the React workbench.
Constraint: Live Bailian authentication currently fails for all three configured capabilities
Rejected: Direct upload-to-embedding flow | bypasses local review and manifest binding
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: broad
Directive: Keep private-data deployment blocked until authentication, RBAC, and separate database roles land
Tested: make verify; fresh and replay Docker document smoke; worker recovery smoke; frozen synthetic evaluation; migration 0003-0004 roundtrip
Not-tested: Successful live Bailian calls, OCR, real multi-user authorization
The Stage 1 foundation now proves provider contracts with mocks and validates PostgreSQL/pgvector ingestion, approval binding, retrieval, reranking, and idempotency using only synthetic data. Live Bailian validation remains gated on rotating the exposed key.
Constraint: The key shown in chat is compromised and cannot be used or committed
Rejected: Mark Stage 1 complete from mock and offline results | real three-model smoke is still required
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Do not enable real-data ingestion until Stage 3 cloud approval and outbound manifest controls are enforced end to end
Tested: make verify; 41 pytest tests; strict mypy; Ruff; Compose config; pinned image build; empty-volume migration; role denial; two idempotent 20-vector seeds; database restart persistence
Not-tested: Live Bailian calls require a newly rotated key; React product UI is not implemented
