phase: 137_pdf_image_context

All verification complete — everything is 100% green. Final report:

**Phase 137 final verification pass — all tasks already complete, all criteria verified**

- **Full suite:** `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → 3272 passed, exit 0; `app/` coverage **99%** (>90% ✓)
- **Phase E2E in isolation:** `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_pdf_image_context.py -v --no-cov` → **4 passed** (forward context, display line, standalone parity, both-blocks markdown case)
- **Pre-existing suites in isolation:** `test_pdf_support.py` + `test_image_anchor_context.py` + `test_image_documents.py` → **14 passed**; ripple-edited `test_garbage_pdf.py` → **3 passed**
- **Lint/types:** `uv run ruff check .` → all passed; `uv run pyright` → 0 errors

**Completion criteria:** (1) forward-path context in vision msg + stored `image_context`/summary — ✓ (unit builder/seam + integration fake-LLM + E2E); (2) both blocks document-first + standalone describe byte-identical — ✓ (combiner + standalone pins); (3) backfill with context + zero-vision idempotent re-sync + parent-gone origin-only — ✓ (6 integration tests); (4) suggestion block leads with `From <source>/<pdf> (page N)` — ✓ (renderer units + E2E); (5) all gates green — ✓ above; (6) no behavior change in phases 122/125/126 + sync `detail` shape untouched — ✓ (verified in code: new counter is log-only); (7) ruff+pyright — ✓; (8) commit — left to the harness per pipeline rules (working tree untouched by me).

**Documentation:** README.md audited in full — the new phase-137 bullet verified against code (6 000-char cap, log-only `image_context_backfilled=N`, `<document>`-body locator placement), all env tables/defaults cross-checked vs `app/config.py` and `.env.example` — consistent, no changes needed. AGENTS.md: every rule/command verified — consistent, no changes needed.

**Notable deviations (pre-existing, documented in task-05 report, forced by design):** `test_pdf_support.py`/`test_garbage_pdf.py` got minimal ripple edits (the "UNEDITED" pin was unsatisfiable once describe calls carry context by design); the unit `test_image_anchor_context.py` CONTEXT_PREFIX pin generalized per ASSUMPTION A5; one extra mock line (`_seed_context_line` accepts `From …`).

**Next pending phase:** none — `todo/` holds only this phase.

+
+    uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_pdf_image_context.py -v --no-cov

+context in their summaries … Image summaries should always include the

+markdown files) so the embedder can more effectively retrieve image
+sources."
+
+The suite's single module app runs with ``BOR_IMAGES=true`` + the
+``pdf`` import token (the ``test_pdf_support.py`` per-suite-app
+pattern — the conftest env with the leak guards):
+
+* **Seed 1** (source ``e2e-pdf-imgctx``): ONE fixture PDF at the
+  source root (two text pages + one embedded 1×1 PNG on page 2 — the
+  phase-126 PyMuPDF recipe, built in the fixture) arrives through the
+  REAL admin upload flow + the RAG page's Sync button. The forward
+  path (phase 137 task 02) is the story: the embedded image's
+  describe call carries the document-context block (``Extracted from
+  e2e-pdf-imgctx/report.pdf (page 2):`` + the page's text), so the
+  mock's vision model answers the CONTEXT-AWARE canned reply (the
+  mock's ``Extracted from `` trigger — the deterministic witness the
+  context REACHED the vision model), and the stored
+  ``image_context``/``content``/``summary`` carry it;
+* **the chat display line** (task 04): a grounded question carrying
+  the mock's ``CONTEXT_LINE_TRIGGER`` marker makes the mock QUOTE THE
+  EXACT LINE of the image doc's ``<document>`` block — which now
+  LEADS with the one-line ``From <source>/report.pdf (page 2)``
+  rendering — so the answer proves the display line was in the
+  prompt;
+* **Seed 2** (source ``e2e-pdf-imgctx-md`` — a FRESH KB: the phase
+  re-imports the same PDF plus a ``notes.md`` referencing the
+  embedded image by its synthetic path, the phase-125 reference
+  shape): the stored context carries BOTH block kinds with the
+  document block FIRST (ASSUMPTION A2 — provenance before purpose),
+  and the display line carries both clauses in stored order.
+
+Test-order note: the standalone-parity witness asserts against SEED
+1's KB (exactly the PDF + its one image — the suite seeds no
+standalone image anywhere), so it runs BEFORE seed 2 truncates and
+re-imports; the mock's BARE describe branch is pinned by
+``test_pdf_support.py`` running green unedited (the regression run —
