**Phase 168 — Admin Settings panel — final verification: PASS**
1. **Implemented/verified:** `/settings.html` (admin-only) with the 75-field catalogue (`app/core/settings_catalog.py`), DB-over-env overrides in Postgres (`app_settings`, migration 0028 at head, `settings_overlay.py` resolver, `app/api/admin_settings.py` — 4 admin-only routes), live-apply on save with no restart + restart-required badges, Reset/Clear all, write-only secrets, `.env`-never-written, `BOR_SETTINGS_DB=0` kill switch.
2. **Phase E2E: 12/12** — run with `E2E_APP_PORT=8200` (ports 8123/8124 are held by an unrelated "undercooked" project; no process killed, no code change — the documented env override).
3. **Regression set: all 7 suites green in isolation** (theme tab, API tokens, configurable brand, global tuning, admin auth, cache busting, wide desktop column — 38 tests).
4. **Full suite: unit+integration exit 0 (4066 passed), app/ coverage 99%** (gate >90%); **ruff clean, pyright 0 errors / 0 warnings.**
5. **Log contract (rule 10) verified live:** per-turn + per-response byte-budget lines present; settings write lines carry key + action, **never the value**.
6. **Byte-budget audit: all endpoints under the 262,144 B budget**; settings catalogue 23,513 B (gzip 3,326).
7. **Defect fixed (one):** criterion 5 had no integration pin — added `test_bad_row_inserted_directly_never_bricks_boot` to `tests/integration/test_admin_settings_api.py` (malformed row inserted directly → fresh `create_app()` boots, row skipped with logged reason, rest of table applies, `/api/health` 200) — 12/12 green.
8. **Docs pass:** `README.md` and `AGENTS.md` reviewed in full — both consistent with the as-built feature (Settings page table, Settings section, Configuration-reference note, `.env.example` block); **no changes required**.
9. **Cleanup:** audit app killed (by PID); `app_settings` left empty (0 rows); all changes left in the working tree (no commit, per protocol).
10. **Completion criteria:** all 7 checkboxes verified green (criterion 7's commit is the harness's).
11. **Next pending phase:** `170_edit_bubble_sizing`.
All verification is complete — this pass needed no code changes. Final report:
**Phase 91 — Admin Theme tab: final verification pass (all 6 tasks already in `complete/`)**
- Verified pre-paint theming end-to-end: `ui_settings` store + resolver, admin `GET/PUT /api/ui-settings`, `CachingMiddleware` inline-`<style id="bor-theme">` injection before `</head>` (incl. `/shared/<token>` prefix branch, unit-pinned), CSP sha256 exemption for the inline tag, Theme tab shell + `theme.js` editor, CSS-file theming fully retired.
- No defects found; zero changes made — working tree left exactly as the task executors left it.
- Tests: `uv run pytest --cov=app` → 1841 passed, 0 failed (TOTAL coverage **99%**; theming/ui_settings/caching all 100%); `uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_admin_theme_tab.py -v --no-cov` → **5 passed** in isolation.
- Lint/types: `uv run ruff check .` → All checks passed; `uv run pyright` → 0 errors, 0 warnings.
- Criteria: (1) unset deployment byte-identical, no `#bor-theme` anywhere — ✓ (unit no-op test + E2E reset byte-compare); `rg "BOR_THEME|themes/"` → single hit is the permitted doc-history comment in `frontend/index.html`. (2) admin-only gate + 403s for anonymous and token users — ✓ (E2E test 3). (3) saved theme inline before `</head>` on every page incl. `/shared/<token>`, computed `--brand` on first paint for admin + anonymous — ✓ (E2E test 2 + unit). (4) reset → byte-identical; 5 contrast pairs warn <4.5:1, non-blocking — ✓ (E2E tests 4–5). (5) suite green, >90% coverage, lint clean — ✓. (6) commit deferred to harness per rules.
- Notable: `.agents/PLAN.md` is absent from the repo — the phase overview's Design section was used as the binding spec; no deviation resulted.
- Next pending phase: **none** — 91 is the last phase in `todo/`.
Single consolidated commit for four completed, validated phases (77, 78,
79, 80). The pipeline run left all work uncommitted because the harness
commits only with PHASE_COMMIT=1 while child executors are forbidden from
committing; the phases themselves all passed validation and moved to
.agents/phases/complete/.
Phase 77 — navbar view refresh
- router.js dispatches bor:view-refresh on re-show / active re-click /
popstate (gated on wasMounted; first show and boot exempt)
- History / RAG / Sources / Tuning re-fetch on refresh (admin branch);
Chat deliberately excluded (stream survival)
- History "Refresh" button (admin-only, in-flight disable + status line)
- New story suite tests/e2e/test_navbar_refresh.py (7 tests)
Phase 78 — static background
- Removed the animated glow layers; static 44px grid over the flat --bg
canvas; default and reduced-motion renders byte-identical
- Updated background/theme E2E suites; removed bg-glow test pins
Phase 79 — API tokens
- api_tokens model + migration 0012; hash-only token service
- Admin tokens API + Tokens admin view; POST /api/token-auth;
live-revoking require_user on chat / suggestions / document content
- Frontend token gate with localStorage cache; anonymous E2E suites
migrated to token login
- New story suite tests/e2e/test_api_tokens.py (9 tests)
Phase 80 — history suggestion chips
- last_questions() endpoint with SEED fallback; startNewChat() refetch
- Seed-semantics docs (config.py, .env.example, README)
- Integration state matrix + E2E suite rewritten to the 4 chip states
Also included: phase-76 report artifacts and the repo restore-test-db
skill (previously untracked), scripts/* ruff fixes from phase 77.
Final gate state (phase 80 final pass, covers everything above):
- uv run pytest --cov=app → 1637 passed, 0 failed, app/ coverage 99%
- uv run ruff check . && uv run pyright → clean, 0 errors
- Per-phase story E2E suites green in isolation
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.
