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 backend can now be inspected through a loopback-only gateway while the database-aware API remains on the internal data network. A governed synthetic demo proves readiness, pgvector retrieval, reranking, and citation output through real HTTP without invoking cloud models.
Constraint: The previously exposed Bailian key is compromised and cannot be used for live validation
Constraint: The API must be locally reachable while retaining no internet egress
Rejected: Attach the API directly to the ingress network | a real socket test proved that configuration still had egress
Rejected: Publish a port from the internal-only network | Docker Desktop did not expose the host port
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep model and database credentials out of the gateway; do not relax the fixed demo identity/profile filters
Tested: make verify; 63 pytest tests; strict mypy; Ruff; Secret scan; Compose config; three backend image builds; API/DB/gateway healthy; migration exit 0; Swagger browser check; live/ready/meta/status/search HTTP; 20/20/20 index; API egress ENETUNREACH; empty gateway mounts and business environment
Not-tested: Live Bailian calls require a newly rotated key; full generated-answer flow and React UI are not implemented
The project begins with architecture, data governance, reproducible evaluation, deployment boundaries, and secret-handling contracts so later code has measurable acceptance criteria.
Constraint: Real provider credentials, workspace identities, and restricted geological data must never enter Git
Rejected: Add placeholder runnable services in the design commit | would imply unverified implementation readiness
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Run make verify before every commit and update ADRs when architecture boundaries change
Tested: Secret scan, Markdown links, YAML parse, shell syntax, and staged diff validation
Not-tested: Application runtime is intentionally deferred to the implementation stage
