An existing, non-git directory is now a first-class source alongside
the git repos: one table (git_sources + kind discriminator — A13
reversible migration), one admin page, one Sync button (phase locked
decisions; the phase-35 table is extended, not duplicated). The DB is
the local-source registry — no env var for local paths;
BOR_GIT_SOURCES stays a git-only empty-table fallback.
Migration 0007 (reversible, up/down integration-tested):
git_sources.kind TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'git' + ck_git_sources_kind
(kind IN ('git','local')); git_sources.path TEXT NULL +
uq_git_sources_path (mirrors 0006's uq_git_sources_url). Existing rows
read kind='git', path=NULL.
API (phase-35 contract extended, git byte-identical): POST kind=local
requires path — trimmed, ~-expanded, absolute + an existing server
directory, else 422 naming the path (fail loud at add-time); duplicate
path 409 (named); wrong field combos 422. GET rows carry kind + path
(git and env rows: path null); anonymous still 403 on every route (A10).
Sync + import_docs resolve DB git + local rows together: git →
clone_or_pull (unchanged); local → re-verified .is_dir() AT SYNC TIME
(it may have moved/deleted since add-time) — a missing dir raises
"local source missing: <path>" (sanitized) before anything imports;
one import_sources(..., prune=True) over the single combined list
(pruning covers the union). Both-empty fails loudly ("no sources
configured (git or local)"); --source still wins; the env fallback
stays git-only.
Page: second "Add a local directory" form (the same §7.4 never-stale
button + inline-error lifecycle as the git form; 422/409 details name
the path), Git/Local badges on rows (text + color, never color alone —
WCAG), updated hint (git + local together, union prune); the
anonymous sign-in gate is unchanged.
Tests: 0007 up/down; the API local-kind matrix (403/201/422/409) with
the git-kind suite green unchanged; the sync pipeline local/git/
mixed/missing against a host temp dir (the KB actually updated);
import_docs DB resolution + --source precedence. Story E2E (isolated,
deterministic across runs): add (Local badge) → missing path inline
422 naming it / duplicate 409 → the real Sync button imports the
fixture file (GET /api/docs + sentinel in its content) → file deleted
+ sync prunes it (union prune) → row removed; anonymous gate + 403s
(phase-35 regression). test_git_sources_admin.py (phase 35) green
UNCHANGED — no selector collision with the new form;
test_sync_button.py green.
Docs: README — the two managed kinds (git = clone/pull mirror; local =
direct in-place walk), add-time validation, union pruning, "the DB is
the local-source registry (no env var for local paths)";
.env.example — the env fallback is git-only.
Grounded chat turns now run the agent loop (app/rag/agent.py) instead
of a bare chat_stream: while the per-turn budgets last
(BOR_AGENT_LIST_CALLS / BOR_AGENT_READ_CALLS, default 1 each) the model
gets list_documents (the indexed catalog, /api/docs order) and
read_document (full text, never truncated — A7-revised contract); once
both budgets are spent the tools key is dropped from the request and
the model must answer. Rejected calls (unknown tool, unknown/missing
path, document already in context, spent budget) consume no budget.
Budgets 0/0 make exactly one tools=None request — byte-identical to
the pre-phase path (budgets-as-kill-switch). Deflected turns keep the
direct chat_stream (A8 unchanged; the LOW prompt never carries the
<tools> section).
SSE contract gains {"type":"tool","name":...,"argument":
"source/path"|null} frames ahead of the answer deltas (PLAN §4
extension, owner permission 2026-08-26); done.sources, query_log.sources
and the per-turn log line (gains tool_calls=N) report the retrieval
docs + read docs, deduped. The UI shows a "calling tool"
button/label state and one visible .tool-call line per call above the
answer; the lines persist with the chat record and re-render on
reload. chat_stream passes tools through and accumulates streaming
tool_calls deltas into ToolCallPiece (tools=None stays byte-identical).
E2E: deterministic mock tool flow ("use your tools" + <tools> marker:
list -> read first catalog line -> quoted answer) plus the story suite
(marker flow, reload re-render, plain/deflected no-tool regressions).
Docs: .env.example + README (the two tools, the budgets, the SSE tool
frame, the "calling tool" UI state).

Phase 33 (story: .agent/user_stories/cache-busting.md).
- app/core/caching.py: asset_version() — git short SHA (a commit is a
deploy), stable content-hash fallback for non-git checkouts, "dev"
for a missing static dir; computed once per process. CachingMiddleware
— the five HTML pages revalidate (no-cache) with ?v=<token> asset refs
rewritten in flight; /assets/* is public, max-age=31536000, immutable;
everything else (all /api/*, the SSE chat stream in particular) passes
through byte-identical.
- tests/e2e/test_cache_busting.py: fresh-Chromium wire assertions —
document no-cache, versioned CSS/JS request URLs sharing one token,
immutable asset headers, /api/health baseline headers, SSE chat to
done (mock LLM).
- README 'Caching / deploys' section + story file.
Also fixed two prod-image defects surfaced by this phase's podman smoke
(the full app would not boot):
- Containerfile: ship the scripts/ package — app/api/sync.py (phase 32)
imports scripts.git_sync / scripts.import_docs at module level, so the
container crashed on boot (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named
'scripts').
- compose.yaml: pass BOR_ADMIN_PASSWORD / BOR_SESSION_SECRET through to
the app service (:- defaults keep 'podman compose up -d db' working;
the app's own fail-loud gate still names missing admin auth).
Smoke: podman compose --profile prod up -d on a fresh image + a fresh
Chromium profile — /, /sources.html and /login.html all served
Cache-Control: no-cache; all 8 asset requests versioned with one shared
token (content-hash fallback inside the image — no .git there);
/assets/* immutable for a year.
