phase: 153_document_viewer_context

That last `--co` (collect-only) run was my probe mistake — it shows 34% because no tests execute under collect-only. The valid coverage run was the real gate command executed earlier: `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **TOTAL 99%** (exit 0, all 3544 tests executed). All gates are verified.

## Phase 153 — final verification pass report

**Verified (all tasks 01–04 complete in `complete/`):**
- Modal `fullPageUrl(source, path, back = null)` + `openDocumentModal(…, back = null)` with module-level `currentBack`; 5 chat call sites pass `"/"`, sources.js call site unchanged (byte-identical Sources path); `documentUrl` comment now true
- Copy-path control (shared `renderDocument` core, icon+text, text = accessible name) on both surfaces; per-page clipboard helpers with the fallback-field + status-line contract; `#doc-copy-announcer` live region; styles + 44px touch floor
- Unit pins: `&back=%2F` / no-`back` byte-identity, `currentBack` single-writer guard, copy strings byte-pinned, phase-13 regression pins untouched

**Test / lint / coverage results:**
- `uv run pytest` → **3544 passed**, 0 failed (full unit + integration)
- `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **TOTAL 99%** (>90% gate)
- `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_document_viewer_context.py -v --no-cov` → **8 passed** in 47.33s, in isolation (DB up, mock LLM)
- `uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright` → clean (0 errors/warnings)

**Completion criteria:** all met — (1) chat→modal→Full page: `href="/"` + "Chat"; Sources→modal→Full page: `href="/sources.html"` + "Sources" with `back=` asserted absent; (2) no-`back` URLs byte-identical to pre-phase; (3) Copy path: "Path copied." on success (clipboard readback), prefilled select-on-focus fallback field + "Path ready — copy it from the field." on rejected clipboard, both surfaces parameterized; (4) copied string exactly `docs/homelab/kubernetes.md`; (5) full suite green, E2E isolated green, lint clean, coverage 99%; (6) commit by harness.

**Documentation:** README.md reviewed in full — phase-153 feature already named in the Chat section; routes, env reference, workflows, deployment all consistent — no changes needed. AGENTS.md reviewed in full — rules, gates, and quick-reference commands verified against the repo (incl. `test_smoke.py`, `.env.example`, gitignore entries) — consistent, no changes needed.

**Notable:** pytest 9.1.1 quirk — a doubled `-q` (pyproject `addopts` + explicit `-q`) swallows the final "N passed" summary line while still exiting 0; the plain `uv run pytest` gate command prints it. No defects found in prior work.

**Next pending phase:** `154_sync_status_freshness`.
