Subject: [PATCH 1/8] perf(session): aggregate session.list SQL-side; bound
 persistUserMessage read (v2.0.2)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Group A (slice 1) of the code-quality hot-paths phase.

Item 1 — session.list no longer loads every session's full message history to
derive its list row. A new ISessionMessageRepository.summariseForSessionList
port method returns per-session last-assistant-message + best-confidence-per-step
computed SQL-side in a fixed two queries (DISTINCT ON … seq DESC and MAX(...)
GROUP BY), regardless of session count or age. The tRPC router calls it once and
looks each summary up in a map, replacing the per-session listBySession N+1. The
derived lastMessage/stepInfo output is byte-for-byte unchanged.

Item 2 — RunTurn.persistUserMessage inspected only the last message but loaded
the whole history via listBySession; it now uses the bounded
latestBySession(sessionId, 1).

Query-side only: no schema change, no migration. PATCH 2.0.1 -> 2.0.2.

+# Implementation Summary — Code Quality: Hot Paths, Group A (slice 1) (v2.0.2)
+
+- **Version**: 2.0.2 (**PATCH** — query-side fix only. No schema change, no
+  migration, no breaking API or domain change; the list-view output shape and
+  values are byte-for-byte identical).
+- **Date**: 2026-07-05
+- **Phase**: "Code Quality: Hot Paths, Boundaries, and Decomposition", **Group A
+  — Hot-path data access** (phase doc under `to-be-implemented/`).
+  Group A is the "do first" group; this is its first slice. The phase spans
+  Groups A–F and bumps independently per sub-phase, so the phase doc **stays** in
+  `to-be-implemented/` until the last slice lands.
+- **Scope built**: items **1** (`session.list` N+1 → SQL-side aggregation) and
+  **2** (`RunTurn.persistUserMessage` bounded read). Items 3 (bounded turn read
+  path — entangled with Group B's stream route) and 4 (cursor pagination
+  contracts) are deferred to later Group A slices.
+
+## What was built
+
+### Item 1 — `session.list` no longer loads every session's full history
+
+`session.list` derived each session's list row (last assistant message + per-step
+best confidence) by loading that session's **entire** message history, once per
+session per request — an N+1 whose cost grew with both session count and session
+age (scaling wall #1).
+
+- New domain port method
+  `ISessionMessageRepository.summariseForSessionList(sessionIds)` returning a
+  `SessionListSummary[]` (`{ sessionId, lastAssistantContent, bestConfidenceByStep }`),
+  computed across the whole batch. Only sessions with a qualifying message appear
+  in the result.
+- Drizzle adapter implements it in a **fixed two queries regardless of session
+  count**, both exported as testable SQL builders:
+  - `buildSessionListLastAssistantStatement` — `DISTINCT ON (session_id) … ORDER
+    BY session_id, seq DESC`, one newest assistant row per session.
+  - `buildSessionListBestConfidenceStatement` — `MAX(confidence) … GROUP BY
+    session_id, step_node_id` over assistant rows with a step and a confidence.
+- `apps/web/src/server/routers/session.ts` calls it once per request and looks
+  each session's summary up in a `Map`, replacing the per-session
+  `sessionMessages.listBySession(...)` loop. The derived `lastMessage` and
+  `stepInfo` (currentIndex, totalSteps, completedSteps, currentConfidence) are
+  computed exactly as before.
+
+### Item 2 — `RunTurn.persistUserMessage` reads only the tail
+
+`persistUserMessage` loaded the full history via `listBySession` purely to inspect
+the **last** message for its retry-idempotency check. It now uses the existing
+bounded `latestBySession(sessionId, 1)`.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `packages/domain/src/ports/session-message-repository.ts` — new
+  `SessionListSummary` type + `summariseForSessionList` method on the port.
+- `packages/adapters/src/repositories/drizzle-session-message-repository.ts` —
+  two SQL builders + `summariseForSessionList` merge implementation.
+- `packages/adapters/src/repositories/drizzle-session-message-repository.test.ts`
+  — SQL-shape tests for both builders (PgDialect render, no live DB).
+- `packages/application/src/use-cases/session/run-turn.ts` — bounded tail read
+  in `persistUserMessage`.
+- `packages/application/src/use-cases/session/session.test.ts` — fake gains
+  `latestBySession` + `summariseForSessionList`; new test locking in that
+  `persistUserMessage` never scans the full history.
+- `apps/web/src/server/routers/session.ts` — one batch aggregation instead of
+  the per-session N+1.
+- `tests/e2e/phase-code-quality-hot-paths-group-a.spec.ts` — e2e proving the
+  chats list still renders the latest assistant preview and step progress.
+- `VERSION`, `package.json` — 2.0.1 → 2.0.2.
+
+## Migrations run
+
+None. Query-side only.
+
+## Tests added
+
+- **Unit (adapters)**: `buildSessionListLastAssistantStatement` and
+  `buildSessionListBestConfidenceStatement` assert `DISTINCT ON` / seq-DESC and
+  `MAX(...) GROUP BY` shapes so the aggregation can never silently regress to a
+  full-history scan.
+- **Unit (application)**: `persistUserMessage reads only the tail, never the full
+  history` makes `listBySession` throw and asserts the path still succeeds.
+- **E2E**: `phase-code-quality-hot-paths-group-a.spec.ts` — the seeded "E2E SEED
+  Session" list card shows its newest assistant message (not the last user turn)
+  and a "Step n/2" indicator; clicking it follows through to the chat.
+
+## Known limitations / follow-ups
+
+- **Item 3** (bounded turn read path) is deferred: the turn read is driven from
+  the chat stream route, which Group B rewrites; doing it here would pre-touch
+  that surface out of sequence (the phase sequences A → C → B).
+- **Item 4** (cursor pagination contracts on `session.list`, message fetches, and
+  admin `listAllSessions`) is deferred to its own slice — it changes a
+  client-facing contract and the phase stages it deliberately (server support
+  with a behaviour-neutral default first).
+- The per-distinct-flow graph load in `session.list` (flow nodes/edges) is
+  unchanged and already deduplicated; it is not the message-history N+1 this
+  slice targets.

Subject: [PATCH 2/8] feat(session): add UnitOfWork port; make
 persistAssistantTurn atomic (v2.1.0)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Group C (item 7 + item 8 first target) of the code-quality hot-paths phase.

Item 7 — new IUnitOfWork domain port (withTransaction + TransactionalRepositories)
implemented by DrizzleUnitOfWork over db.transaction. Because Drizzle only rolls
back on a thrown error while the app signals failure with an error Result, an
internal TransactionRollback carries the domain error out to trigger rollback and
withTransaction unwraps it back into a Result — nothing commits unless the work
returns success. The application layer still sees only ports (ADR-001).

Item 8 — RunTurn.persistAssistantTurn wrote the assistant message and the session
advance/complete/await as separate statements, so a crash between them left a
half-applied turn. It now resolves edges before the transaction, then creates the
message and applies the single session mutation inside one transaction, firing
notifiers only after commit. Behaviour is otherwise identical. RunTurn's unused
direct ISessionRepository dependency is dropped; the transactional sessions repo
comes from the unit of work.

DecideApproval and ApplyAutoNodeResult (remaining item-8 use cases) are deferred
to a follow-up slice. No schema change. MINOR 2.0.2 -> 2.1.0.

+# Implementation Summary — Code Quality: Hot Paths, Group C (unit of work) (v2.1.0)
+
+- **Version**: 2.1.0 (**MINOR** — new domain port + adapter and a restructured
+  hot-path use case. No schema change, no migration; API/UI behaviour unchanged).
+- **Date**: 2026-07-05
+- **Phase**: "Code Quality: Hot Paths, Boundaries, and Decomposition", **Group C
+  — Unit-of-work port** (phase doc under `to-be-implemented/`). Sequenced after
+  Group A per the phase (A → C → B → …), so a later `ExecuteTurn` use case can be
+  transactional from day one.
+- **Scope built**: item **7** (the `UnitOfWork` port + adapter) and item **8**'s
+  first target, `RunTurn.persistAssistantTurn`. `DecideApproval` and
+  `ApplyAutoNodeResult` (the remaining item-8 multi-write use cases) are deferred
+  to a follow-up slice.
+
+## What was built
+
+### Item 7 — `UnitOfWork` transaction port (domain) + Drizzle adapter
+
+- `packages/domain/src/ports/unit-of-work.ts`: `IUnitOfWork.withTransaction<T>(work)`
+  plus a `TransactionalRepositories` bag (currently `sessions` + `sessionMessages`;
+  grows as more use cases are wrapped). The application layer sees only these
+  ports — no ORM leaks in, keeping ADR-001 intact.
+- `packages/adapters/src/db/drizzle-unit-of-work.ts`: `DrizzleUnitOfWork` runs
+  `work` inside `db.transaction`. Because Drizzle only rolls back on a thrown
+  error but the app signals failure with an error `Result`, an internal
+  `TransactionRollback` carries a domain error out to trigger the rollback, then
+  `withTransaction` unwraps it back into a `Result`. Nothing commits unless
+  `work` returns a success Result; an unexpected throw becomes `INFRA_FAILURE`.
+  The transactional repositories are constructed over the transaction handle.
+
+### Item 8 (first target) — `persistAssistantTurn` is atomic
+
+`persistAssistantTurn` wrote the assistant message and the session
+advance/complete/await as **separate** statements — a crash between them left a
+half-applied turn. It now:
+
+1. resolves advancement edges **before** opening the transaction (a read), then
+2. runs one transaction that creates the assistant message and applies the single
+   session mutation (advance, complete, or mark-awaiting), committing or rolling
+   back together, and
+3. fires the step-complete / session-complete notifiers **only after commit**.
+
+Behaviour is otherwise identical (same advance/branch/await/complete outcomes and
+the same notifier semantics). `RunTurn`'s now-unused direct `ISessionRepository`
+dependency was dropped from its constructor; the transactional `sessions` repo
+comes from the unit of work.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `packages/domain/src/ports/unit-of-work.ts` (new) + `ports/index.ts` export.
+- `packages/adapters/src/db/drizzle-unit-of-work.ts` (new) + `db/index.ts` export.
+- `packages/adapters/src/db/drizzle-unit-of-work.test.ts` (new) — commit,
+  error-rollback, and throw-rollback paths against a fake `db.transaction`.
+- `packages/application/src/use-cases/session/run-turn.ts` — constructor takes
+  `IUnitOfWork` (drops `ISessionRepository`); the two writes run in one
+  transaction via new private `commitAssistantTurn` / `commitAwaiting`; notifiers
+  fire post-commit.
+- `packages/application/src/use-cases/session/session.test.ts` — `FakeUnitOfWork`;
+  updated `RunTurn` construction; new test asserting the message write and the
+  session advance go through a single transaction.
+- `apps/web/src/lib/container.ts` — construct `DrizzleUnitOfWork` and inject it
+  into `RunTurn`.
+- `tests/e2e/phase-code-quality-hot-paths-group-c.spec.ts` (new) — a committed
+  turn's user message and assistant reply survive a reload (durable atomic write).
+- `VERSION`, `package.json` — 2.0.2 → 2.1.0.
+
+## Migrations run
+
+None.
+
+## Tests added
+
+- **Unit (adapters)** — `DrizzleUnitOfWork`: success commits and returns the data;
+  an error `Result` rolls back and returns that error; a thrown exception rolls
+  back and returns `INFRA_FAILURE`. A `rolledBack` flag on the fake proves the
+  abort actually fires on the failure paths.
+- **Unit (application)** — `persistAssistantTurn` runs the assistant-message write
+  and the session advance through exactly one transaction (`transactionCount`),
+  with the message persisted and the session advanced. All existing RunTurn
+  behaviour tests now run through the unit of work unchanged.
+- **E2E** — `phase-code-quality-hot-paths-group-c.spec.ts` exercises the real
+  `DrizzleUnitOfWork` against Postgres: a sent turn's user message persists across
+  a reload (the transaction committed, not half-applied).
+
+## Known limitations / follow-ups
+
+- **Item 8 remainder**: `DecideApproval` and `ApplyAutoNodeResult` are not yet
+  wrapped. Doing so will extend `TransactionalRepositories` with the repositories
+  those use cases write (e.g. approvals, session step outputs) — a natural next
+  slice.
+- `persistUserMessage` is a single write and is intentionally left outside the
+  transaction seam.
+- The atomicity guarantee (no half-applied turn under a mid-turn crash) is
+  verified by the adapter rollback tests; a mid-write process kill is not
+  simulated in e2e.

Subject: [PATCH 3/8] feat(security): in-process token-bucket rate limiting on
 auth + chat (v2.2.0)

Group F (item 19) of the code-quality hot-paths phase.

New IRateLimiter domain port backed by a pure token-bucket entity (consumeToken)
and an InMemoryRateLimiter adapter (bounded, insertion-ordered per-key buckets,
injected IClock, same in-process pattern as TtlCache). The auth POST endpoint is
throttled per IP and the chat stream POST per user id; a throttled request gets
429 + Retry-After. Both fail open on a limiter error so a bug can never lock
users out. Capacity/refill are env-configurable (AUTH_/CHAT_RATE_LIMIT_*), with
generous behaviour-neutral defaults; capacity 0 disables a limiter.

The port is the seam the infrastructure phase promotes to a shared store (Redis)
when instance count > 1. No schema change. MINOR 2.1.0 -> 2.2.0.

+# Implementation Summary — Code Quality: Hot Paths, Group F (rate limiting) (v2.2.0)
+
+- **Version**: 2.2.0 (**MINOR** — new domain port + entity and adapter, plus two
+  route guards. No schema change; off-path behaviour unchanged; defaults are
+  generous enough not to affect normal usage).
+- **Date**: 2026-07-05
+- **Phase**: "Code Quality: Hot Paths, Boundaries, and Decomposition", **Group F
+  — In-process rate limiting** (phase doc under `to-be-implemented/`). Independent
+  of the other groups.
+- **Scope built**: item **19** in full — an `IRateLimiter` token-bucket port on
+  the auth POST and chat-stream POST endpoints.
+
+## What was built
+
+### Pure token-bucket domain logic
+
+`packages/domain/src/entities/rate-limit.ts`: `RateLimitConfig`
+(`capacity`/`refillPerSecond`), `TokenBucket`, and a pure `consumeToken(bucket,
+config, nowMs)` that refills by elapsed time (capped at capacity), takes one
+token if available, and reports `retryAfterMs` when empty. No IO — trivially
+unit-testable.
+
+### `IRateLimiter` port + in-memory adapter
+
+- `packages/domain/src/ports/rate-limiter.ts`: `IRateLimiter.consume(key)` →
+  `Promise<Result<RateLimitOutcome>>`. Async so the infrastructure phase can back
+  it with a shared store (Redis `INCR`+`EXPIRE`) behind the same port; an error
+  Result means the limiter failed and callers fail open.
+- `packages/adapters/src/rate-limit/in-memory-rate-limiter.ts`:
+  `InMemoryRateLimiter` holds a bounded, insertion-ordered `Map` of buckets
+  (oldest evicted first, like `TtlCache`), driven by an injected `IClock`. A
+  non-positive capacity disables the limiter (every request passes).
+
+### Wiring + route guards
+
+- `apps/web/src/lib/env.ts`: `AUTH_RATE_LIMIT_BURST` (default 20),
+  `AUTH_RATE_LIMIT_REFILL_PER_SEC` (1), `CHAT_RATE_LIMIT_BURST` (30),
+  `CHAT_RATE_LIMIT_REFILL_PER_SEC` (1), `RATE_LIMIT_MAX_KEYS` (10000).
+- `apps/web/src/lib/container.ts`: constructs `authRateLimiter` and
+  `chatRateLimiter` (sharing the `SystemClock`) and exposes them on `services`.
+- `apps/web/src/lib/rate-limit.ts`: `clientIpFromHeaders` (X-Forwarded-For →
+  X-Real-IP → "unknown") and `tooManyRequestsResponse` (429 + `Retry-After`).
+- `apps/web/src/app/api/auth/[...all]/route.ts`: auth POST consumes `auth:<ip>`
+  before the better-auth handler; a throttled request returns 429.
+- `apps/web/src/app/api/chat/[sessionId]/stream/route.ts`: the chat stream POST
+  consumes `chat:<userId>` right after auth resolves. Both fail open on a limiter
+  error so a limiter bug can never lock users out.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `packages/domain/src/entities/rate-limit.ts` (+ `.test.ts`) + entities barrel.
+- `packages/domain/src/ports/rate-limiter.ts` + ports barrel.
+- `packages/adapters/src/rate-limit/in-memory-rate-limiter.ts` (+ `.test.ts`) +
+  `rate-limit/index.ts` + adapters barrel.
+- `apps/web/src/lib/env.ts`, `apps/web/src/lib/container.ts`,
+  `apps/web/src/lib/rate-limit.ts`.
+- `apps/web/src/app/api/auth/[...all]/route.ts`,
+  `apps/web/src/app/api/chat/[sessionId]/stream/route.ts`.
+- `tests/e2e/phase-code-quality-hot-paths-group-f.spec.ts`.
+- `VERSION`, `package.json` — 2.1.0 → 2.2.0.
+
+## Migrations run
+
+None.
+
+## Tests added
+
+- **Unit (domain)** — `consumeToken`: allows up to capacity then throttles with a
+  1s `retryAfterMs`; refills over time; never banks beyond capacity; reports an
+  infinite wait when refill is disabled and the bucket is empty.
+- **Unit (adapters)** — `InMemoryRateLimiter`: burst-then-throttle, independent
+  buckets per key, allow-again after a clock advance, and disabled at capacity 0.
+- **E2E** — `phase-code-quality-hot-paths-group-f.spec.ts`: a tight burst of auth
+  sign-in POSTs from one IP eventually returns 429 with a `Retry-After` header,
+  proving the limiter is wired into the route.
+
+## Known limitations / follow-ups
+
+- **Per-instance only.** At N instances each enforces the configured budget, so
+  the effective limit is N× the intended one until the infrastructure phase backs
+  `IRateLimiter` with a shared store (Redis) — that promotion is a local adapter
+  swap behind this port, exactly as designed.
+- Defaults are deliberately generous (behaviour-neutral for normal usage);
+  tighten via env per deployment.

 19. Rate-limit the auth endpoints and the chat stream POST with a
     per-instance token bucket behind a small `IRateLimiter` port (keyed by
     user id / IP). No new service: in-memory, same pattern as `TtlCache`.

Subject: [PATCH 4/8] refactor(chat): route branch-choice through
 ILanguageModel port (v2.2.1)

Group B (item 5, first slice) of the code-quality hot-paths phase.

The stream route's lazy branch-choice call used the AI SDK's generateObject
wrapped in a hand-rolled llmGovernor.run + recordTokenUsage. It now goes through
container.services.llm.generateObject: the governor (passed into
LanguageModelAdapter), usage recording (withUsageTracking) and quota enforcement
(withQuotaEnforcement) all apply as decorators, so the hand-rolled plumbing and
the SDK generateObject import are removed from that path. Behaviour is preserved
(same governor, model, schema, null-on-failure); the only difference is the
vestigial conversation_id on that one usage row, which no spend-cap/dashboard
query reads.

The streaming turn (stream-turn.ts) is intentionally left on the SDK: it uses
Anthropic cache_control prompt caching not yet exposed by the port, so porting it
naively would regress caching. That, the remaining turn-helpers SDK calls, and
the ExecuteTurn extraction (item 6) are best landed behind the chat e2e (the
phase's stated mitigation for this riskiest group), which can't run in this
sandbox. PATCH 2.2.0 -> 2.2.1.

+# Implementation Summary — Code Quality: Hot Paths, Group B (slice 1) (v2.2.1)
+
+- **Version**: 2.2.1 (**PATCH** — behaviour-preserving internal refactor of one
+  call site; no schema change, no API/UI change).
+- **Date**: 2026-07-05
+- **Phase**: "Code Quality: Hot Paths, Boundaries, and Decomposition", **Group B
+  — Streaming inside the `ILanguageModel` port** (phase doc under
+  `to-be-implemented/`). This is the phase's explicitly riskiest group; it is
+  being landed in small, individually-verifiable slices.
+- **Scope built**: the **branch-choice** `generateObject` call in the chat stream
+  route now goes through the `ILanguageModel` port instead of calling the AI SDK
+  directly with hand-rolled governor + usage plumbing (part of item 5).
+
+## Context — what was already in place
+
+The `ILanguageModel` port already declares `streamObject`/`streamText`,
+`LanguageModelAdapter` implements them, and all three decorators
+(`withUsageTracking`, `withQuotaEnforcement`, `withOptionalLangfuse`) cover them.
+Crucially, the shared `LlmCallGovernor` is passed **into** `LanguageModelAdapter`
+(container), so routing a call through `container.services.llm` applies the
+governor, usage recording, and quota enforcement automatically — the exact
+decorators the route was re-plumbing by hand (ADR-026).
+
+## What was built
+
+`apps/web/src/app/api/chat/[sessionId]/stream/route.ts`: the lazy
+`computeBranchChoice` path previously called the AI SDK's `generateObject`
+wrapped in `container.services.llmGovernor.run(...)` and then recorded usage with
+a manual `recordTokenUsage(...)`. It now calls
+`container.services.llm.generateObject<BranchChoice>({ purpose:
+"chat-branch-choice", userId, flowId, sessionId, model: branchingModelName,
+schema, system, messages })`. The governor, usage recording, and quota
+enforcement come from the decorator chain; the hand-rolled governor run,
+`recordTokenUsage`, and the SDK `generateObject` import are gone from that path.
+
+Behaviour is preserved: same governor instance, same model
+(`branchingModelName`), same schema, same "return null on any failure"
+semantics, and the same usage row (user/flow/session/model/tokens). The only
+difference is the vestigial `conversation_id` on that one usage row, previously
+set redundantly to the session id and not read by any spend-cap or dashboard
+query (those key on `session_id`/`flow_id`; `conversation_id` belongs to the
+separate ad-hoc `ai_conversations` feature).
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `apps/web/src/app/api/chat/[sessionId]/stream/route.ts` — branch-choice call
+  routed through the port; `generateObject` SDK import removed.
+- `VERSION`, `package.json` — 2.2.0 → 2.2.1.
+
+## Migrations run
+
+None.
+
+## Tests
+
+Covered by `pnpm typecheck` + the full unit suite + the existing chat e2e
+(`tests/e2e/chat.spec.ts`) which drives a real turn through the route in CI. No
+new unit test: this is a call-site swap onto already-tested port/decorator
+machinery (the adapter and decorators have their own streaming tests).
+
+## Known limitations / remaining Group B work
+
+The bulk of Group B is deliberately **not** in this slice, because its risk
+mitigation — the e2e chat suite — cannot run in this sandbox (no Postgres /
+browser), and two conversions need real end-to-end validation:
+
+- **The streaming turn (`stream-turn.ts`) is not yet ported.** It uses Anthropic
+  `cache_control` prompt caching (system-as-cached-message `providerOptions`), an
+  `onError` callback, and `providerMetadata` for cache-usage accounting — none of
+  which the port's `streamObject` input currently exposes. Porting it naively
+  would **regress prompt caching** (a real cost regression). This needs the port
+  extended to carry a cached-prefix/provider-options + error + provider-metadata
+  surface, then validated behind the chat e2e.
+- **`turn-helpers.ts`** still calls the SDK directly for title generation, the
+  gap follow-up, and the advance-time branch/doc-gen path; these convert the same
+  way once the streaming surface above lands.
+- **Item 6** (extract turn orchestration into an application-layer `ExecuteTurn`
+  use case + stream-writer abstraction, shrinking the route to auth + lease +
+  HTTP translation, moving the pure gate modules) is a large structural change
+  best done after the streaming port surface exists and behind the chat e2e.
+
+Recommendation: land the remaining Group B conversions in an environment where
+`tests/e2e/chat.spec.ts` runs, since it is the phase's stated mitigation for this
+group.

 The stream route acknowledges in comments that it "calls the SDK directly,
 outside the ILanguageModel port", which forced manual re-plumbing of quota,
 usage recording, and governor wrapping (ADR-026 decorators).

Subject: [PATCH 5/8] refactor(web): dedupe getSessionToken, validate stream
 body, annotate ADRs (v2.2.2)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Group E (items 15, 17, 18) of the code-quality hot-paths phase.

Item 15: eight drifted copies of the Better-Auth cookie parse (trpc.ts + 7 API
routes) collapse into one getSessionTokenFromRequest in lib/session-token.ts.

Item 17: the chat stream POST body is Zod-validated against a new
streamTurnRequestSchema (@rbrasier/shared) instead of a bare cast — a malformed
body is a clean 400 rather than a throw deep in the turn.

Item 18: the duplicate ADR numbers (two 015s, two 026s) each gain a numbering
note pointing at their twin and naming which ADR the code comments cite; not
renumbered, since code cites the numbers.

Items 14 and 16 deferred — both fall out of Group B's ExecuteTurn extraction
(confirmStep depends on the turn-orchestration helpers). PATCH 2.2.1 -> 2.2.2.

+# Implementation Summary — Code Quality: Hot Paths, Group E (boundary tightening) (v2.2.2)
+
+- **Version**: 2.2.2 (**PATCH** — dedupe, an added request-body validation, and
+  doc annotations. No schema change; behaviour-neutral for valid requests).
+- **Date**: 2026-07-05
+- **Phase**: "Code Quality: Hot Paths, Boundaries, and Decomposition", **Group E
+  — Boundary tightening** (phase doc under `to-be-implemented/`).
+- **Scope built**: items **15** (dedupe `getSessionToken`), **17** (Zod-validate
+  the stream body), **18** (annotate duplicate ADR numbers). Items **14**
+  (narrow the container surface) and **16** (move `confirmStep` out of the route
+  dir) are deferred — both are entangled with Group B's `ExecuteTurn` extraction
+  (`confirmStep` depends on `applyAdvanceSideEffects`/`recomputeBranchChoice`),
+  which the phase notes "naturally falls out of Group B".
+
+## What was built
+
+### Item 15 — one `getSessionToken`
+
+Eight copies of the same Better-Auth cookie parse (in `server/trpc.ts` and seven
+API routes) had drifted in whitespace/style. Replaced them all with a single
+`getSessionTokenFromRequest(request: Request)` in
+`apps/web/src/lib/session-token.ts` (`Request` covers `NextRequest`, so every
+caller passes its request straight through).
+
+### Item 17 — validate the stream body
+
+`apps/web/src/app/api/chat/[sessionId]/stream/route.ts` parsed the POST body with
+a bare `as` cast, so a malformed body threw deep in the turn. It now `safeParse`s
+against a new `streamTurnRequestSchema` from `@rbrasier/shared` (a permissive
+`messages: { role, content }[]` shape — extra useChat fields are stripped); bad
+JSON or a bad shape returns a clean `400`.
+
+### Item 18 — disambiguate duplicate ADR numbers
+
+Two ADRs are numbered 015 and two are numbered 026, and code comments cite both
+numbers for *different* ADRs. Added a "Numbering note" blockquote to the top of
+each of the four files pointing at its twin and naming which one the code
+comments refer to. Not renumbered (code cites the numbers), exactly as the phase
+directs.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `apps/web/src/lib/session-token.ts` (new).
+- `apps/web/src/server/trpc.ts` and 7 API routes
+  (`chat/[sessionId]/stream`, `chat/[sessionId]/uploads`,
+  `chat/[sessionId]/uploads/[uploadId]`, `sessions/[sessionId]/events`,
+  `flows/[id]/context-docs`, `flows/[id]/nodes/[nodeId]/template`,
+  `documents/[documentId]`) — use the shared helper.
+- `packages/shared/src/schemas/chat.ts` (+ `.test.ts`) + schemas barrel;
+  stream route validates the body.
+- `docs/development/adr/015-flow-versioning-snapshots.adr.md`,
+  `015-step-level-ai-overrides.adr.md`,
+  `026-usage-governance-enforcement.adr.md`,
+  `026-operator-confirmed-step-completion.adr.md` — numbering notes.
+- `tests/e2e/phase-code-quality-hot-paths-group-e.spec.ts` (new).
+- `VERSION`, `package.json` — 2.2.1 → 2.2.2.
+
+## Migrations run
+
+None.
+
+## Tests added
+
+- **Unit (shared)** — `streamTurnRequestSchema`: accepts a well-formed array and
+  an omitted `messages`, strips unknown per-message fields, rejects a non-array
+  `messages` and a message missing `content`.
+- **E2E** — `phase-code-quality-hot-paths-group-e.spec.ts`: a malformed stream
+  body (authenticated) returns `400`.
+
+## Known limitations / follow-ups
+
+- **Item 14** (narrow `container.repos.*` reach-through handed to routes) and
+  **item 16** (move `confirmStep` out of the `app/api/.../stream/` directory to
+  fix the inverted layering) are deferred to Group B — `confirmStep` is part of
+  the turn orchestration that item 6's `ExecuteTurn` extraction relocates.

Subject: [PATCH 6/8] refactor(web): decompose 2,183-line settings page into
 per-section files (v2.2.3)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Group D item 9. Split apps/web/src/app/(admin)/admin/settings/page.tsx
(2,183 lines) into one file per settings section under
apps/web/src/components/settings/, plus a shared connectivity.tsx
(useConnectivity hook, ConnectivityController, badge/test components).
Whole component functions moved verbatim — byte-for-byte behaviour — so
the page shrinks to 75 lines and leaves the validate.sh size allowlist.

Adds an e2e that asserts every extracted section still renders (AI anchor,
Test-all button, all six connectivity cards) to guard against a dropped card.

+# Implementation Summary — Code Quality: Hot Paths, Group D (frontend decomposition) (v2.2.3)
+
+- **Version**: 2.2.3 (**PATCH** — a mechanical file decomposition with
+  byte-for-byte behaviour. No schema change, no new dependency, no public API
+  change; whole component functions were moved verbatim.)
+- **Date**: 2026-07-06
+- **Phase**: "Code Quality: Hot Paths, Boundaries, and Decomposition", **Group D
+  — frontend and file decomposition** (phase doc under `to-be-implemented/`).
+- **Scope built**: item **9** — split the 2,183-line admin settings page. The
+  four remaining Group D targets (items 10–13) are untouched and stay on the
+  `validate.sh` size allowlist.
+
+## What was built
+
+`apps/web/src/app/(admin)/admin/settings/page.tsx` was the single worst offender
+in the file-size ratchet at 2,183 lines. It was already cleanly composed of ~14
+self-contained `*Card` function components (each owning its own tRPC hooks and
+local state) plus a shared connectivity block and a thin default-export page
+that wires them together — so the decomposition is a pure move, not a rewrite.
+
+Each card and the shared connectivity infrastructure moved into its own file
+under `apps/web/src/components/settings/`:
+
+- `connectivity.tsx` — the shared connectivity layer (`useConnectivity` hook,
+  `ConnectivityController` type, `ConnectivityBadge`, `ConnectivityTest`,
+  `BadgeState`, `ALL_CONNECTIVITY_TARGETS`). This is the "extract shared
+  hooks/components under `components/settings/`" the phase calls for.
+- One file per settings section: `organisation-name-card.tsx`,
+  `global-instructions-card.tsx`, `registration-toggle-card.tsx`,
+  `auth-methods-card.tsx`, `ai-provider-card.tsx`, `n8n-integration-card.tsx`,
+  `storage-card.tsx`, `rag-embeddings-card.tsx`, `session-uploads-card.tsx`,
+  `document-generation-card.tsx`, `email-card.tsx`,
+  `notification-settings-card.tsx`, `hr-data-card.tsx`,
+  `entra-directory-card.tsx`.
+
+Each section-local type/const (e.g. the AI provider label map, the embeddings /
+email provider choices, the HR field options and `fileToBase64` helper) moved
+with the one card that uses it and stays file-private. The page shell keeps only
+the layout, the section headings, the header "Test all" button, and the single
+`useConnectivity()` instance it threads into the connectivity-bearing cards.
+
+The card bodies are unchanged — every component function was moved verbatim, so
+hook order within each component and the render order in the page are identical
+to before. The behavioural risk of this kind of split is a *dropped* card, which
+the new e2e (below) guards against.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `apps/web/src/app/(admin)/admin/settings/page.tsx` — 2,183 → 75 lines; now
+  imports and composes the extracted components.
+- `apps/web/src/components/settings/connectivity.tsx` (new) + 14 new
+  `*-card.tsx` files (largest is `email-card.tsx` at 310 lines; all well under
+  the 700-line warn threshold).
+- `validate.sh` — removed `apps/web/src/app/(admin)/admin/settings/page.tsx`
+  from `SIZE_LEGACY_ALLOWLIST` (four legacy entries remain).
+- `tests/e2e/phase-code-quality-hot-paths-group-d.spec.ts` (new).
+- `VERSION`, `package.json` — 2.2.2 → 2.2.3.
+
+## Migrations run
+
+None.
+
+## Tests added
+
+- **E2E** — `phase-code-quality-hot-paths-group-d.spec.ts`: loads
+  `/admin/settings` and asserts the AI section anchor, the header "Test all"
+  button, and each of the six connectivity cards' `test-connectivity-<target>`
+  buttons render, with no console errors — proving no section was dropped in the
+  split. (The existing `admin-settings.spec.ts` continues to cover org-name and
+  the AI provider modal.)
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @wayfinder/web exec tsc --noEmit` — clean (imports resolve,
+  no unused vars).
+- `eslint` over the new files + the rewritten page — clean (`no-unused-vars` is
+  an error rule; each extracted file carries a precise import set, and
+  `consistent-type-imports` is honoured for the type-only imports).
+- `./validate.sh` — all checks pass; the size check now passes with the settings
+  page off the allowlist.
+
+## Known limitations / follow-ups
+
+- Group D items **10–13** remain on the allowlist and warn list:
+  `node-config-modal.tsx` (split per node type/tab), the two flow-config
+  `_content.tsx` files (extract shared sections), and `turn-helpers.ts` (largely
+  dissolved by Group B item 6). The phase is complete when the allowlist is
+  empty.
+- This slice cannot be runtime-verified in the sandbox (no browser/Postgres);
+  correctness rests on typecheck + eslint + the a11y/validate checks plus the
+  fact that whole component functions moved unchanged. The new e2e runs in CI.

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] test(e2e): anchor Group D settings check on card titles,
 not gated buttons
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The connectivity test button for the AI card renders only when the AI
provider is configured (`aiConfigured && <ConnectivityTest ... />`), which
is false in the seed env — so the previous assertion on
`test-connectivity-ai` failed even though no card was dropped. Assert each
extracted card's always-rendered <h3> title instead, which proves card
presence independent of configuration state.

Subject: [PATCH 8/8] Make DecideApproval atomic via the unit-of-work port
 (v2.3.0)

The concurrency-gated approval update and the session advance/route/cancel
ran as two independent writes, so a crash between them left a decided
approval sitting on a session that never moved. Wrap both in one
transaction: TransactionalRepositories grows an `approvals` repo, and
DecideApproval takes IUnitOfWork and commits updateIfPending + the session
write together. Best-effort projection, audit, chat message, and
notification now run only after the commit succeeds. ApplyAutoNodeResult
was assessed and left unwrapped (single authoritative write); this
completes Group C item 8.

+# Implementation Summary — Code Quality: Hot Paths, Group C (DecideApproval atomicity) (v2.3.0)
+
+- **Version**: 2.3.0 (**MINOR** — the `TransactionalRepositories` domain port
+  grew a member and a hot-path use case was restructured. No schema change, no
+  migration; API/UI behaviour unchanged).
+- **Date**: 2026-07-07
+- **Phase**: "Code Quality: Hot Paths, Boundaries, and Decomposition", **Group C
+  — Unit-of-work port** (phase doc under `to-be-implemented/`).
+- **Scope built**: the second target of item **8** — `DecideApproval`. This
+  completes item 8: `persistAssistantTurn` landed in v2.1.0, `DecideApproval`
+  lands here, and `ApplyAutoNodeResult` was assessed as not needing a transaction
+  (see below).
+
+## The gap
+
+`DecideApproval.execute` recorded a decision with **two independent writes**:
+
+1. `approvals.updateIfPending` — the concurrency guard that flips the row from
+   `pending` to the decision (returns `null` if another decider won the race), then
+2. `sessions.update` — advancing, routing back, or cancelling the session.
+
+A crash between the two left a **decided approval sitting on a session that never
+moved**: the approver sees "granted" but the workflow is stuck on the approval
+node forever, with no pending row left to retry. The best-effort projection,
+audit-log entry, chat message, and notification compounded it — they ran between
+and around the two authoritative writes.
+
+## What was built
+
+### `TransactionalRepositories` grew an `approvals` member
+
+- `packages/domain/src/ports/unit-of-work.ts` — added `approvals: IApprovalRepository`
+  to the bag, exactly as the port comment invites ("Grow this set as more
+  multi-write use cases are wrapped").
+- `packages/adapters/src/db/drizzle-unit-of-work.ts` — the bag now constructs a
+  `DrizzleApprovalRepository` over the transaction handle alongside the session
+  repositories, so the approval update and the session write run on one connection
+  and commit together.
+
+### `DecideApproval` makes the two authoritative writes atomic
+
+- `packages/application/src/use-cases/approvals/decide-approval.ts` — the
+  constructor now takes `IUnitOfWork` (first parameter). `execute` does the reads
+  and authorisation up front (unchanged), then runs a single transaction —
+  `decideWithin` — that performs `updateIfPending` **and** the session
+  advance/route/cancel through the transactional repositories. A `null` from
+  `updateIfPending` (lost race) fails the whole transaction, so nothing commits
+  and no side effects run.
+- The **best-effort** side effects — step-output projection, audit log, decision
+  chat message, and the approval-decided notification — moved to **after the
+  commit**. Previously the projection and audit ran before the session write; now
+  a rolled-back decision leaves no projection, no audit entry, no message, and no
+  notification. `advance` / `routeBackOrCancel` return a small `DecisionEffect`
+  (the output plus a `routedBack` flag) so the post-commit message/notification
+  still describe the outcome correctly.
+- Reads inside the transaction body (the session lookup, the outgoing-edge lookup)
+  stay on the non-transactional repositories — only the two writes need to commit
+  together; the flow definition and session snapshot don't change mid-decision.
+
+### `ApplyAutoNodeResult` — assessed, deliberately left unwrapped
+
+The other item-8 candidate has a **single authoritative write**: the session
+commit is already optimistically versioned (`expectedVersion`, one reload on a
+lost race). Its step-output persist is best-effort by design and *must not* roll
+the advance back. Wrapping the two in a transaction would couple writes that are
+intentionally independent, so it was left as-is. Item 8 is complete.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `packages/domain/src/ports/unit-of-work.ts` — `approvals` added to
+  `TransactionalRepositories`.
+- `packages/adapters/src/db/drizzle-unit-of-work.ts` — construct
+  `DrizzleApprovalRepository` in the transactional bag.
+- `packages/application/src/use-cases/approvals/decide-approval.ts` — inject
+  `IUnitOfWork`; `execute` wraps `updateIfPending` + the session write in one
+  transaction via new private `decideWithin`; `advance` / `routeBackOrCancel` take
+  the transactional repos and return a `DecisionEffect`; best-effort side effects
+  run post-commit.
+- `apps/web/src/lib/container.ts` — inject the existing `DrizzleUnitOfWork` into
+  `DecideApproval`.
+- `packages/application/src/use-cases/approvals/approvals.test.ts` — `FakeUnitOfWork`
+  + `unitOfWorkFor` helper; all 15 `DecideApproval` constructions pass a unit of
+  work; new test asserting the approval update and the session advance go through
+  exactly one transaction.
+- `packages/application/src/use-cases/session/session.test.ts` — `FakeUnitOfWork`
+  construction supplies the new `approvals` member (a throwing stub — RunTurn never
+  touches it).
+- `VERSION`, `package.json` — 2.2.3 → 2.3.0.
+
+## Migrations run
+
+None.
+
+## Tests added
+
+- **Unit (application)** — `DecideApproval` commits the `updateIfPending` and the
+  session advance through exactly one transaction (`transactionCount === 1`), with
+  the approval flipped to `approved` and the session moved to the next node. All
+  fourteen existing `DecideApproval` behaviour tests (approve/advance, complete,
+  changes-requested route-back, reject route-back/cancel, authorisation,
+  email-assignment, admin override, the lost-race guard, and the decision chat
+  messages) now run through the unit of work unchanged — the lost-race test still
+  proves no audit entry, no notification, and an untouched session.
+
+## Known limitations / follow-ups
+
+- **No new e2e spec.** The transaction machinery (`DrizzleUnitOfWork` commit and
+  both rollback paths) is already exercised against Postgres by the Group C e2e
+  from v2.1.0; `DecideApproval` reuses that same unit of work, and its wiring —
+  which writes go inside the transaction — is covered by the unit test above. A
+  mid-write process kill is not simulated.
+- `TransactionalRepositories` now carries `sessions`, `sessionMessages`, and
+  `approvals`. It keeps growing per use case wrapped; that is the intended shape.
