"""POST /api/chat — a RAG chat turn streamed over SSE (PLAN §3/§4). Flow (LOCKED A7/A15): embed the question → hybrid retrieval (cosine top-N ∪ Postgres FTS top-N, RRF-fused) → the **honesty gate** → locked persona prompt (PLAN §6) → ``turbo`` streamed as ``delta`` events → final ``done`` event (``deflected``, ``sources``, ``suggestions``) + ``query_log`` row + the per-turn log line (PLAN §9). Mid-stream failures become a structured ``error`` event; a pre-stream DB outage is a plain 503 JSON. Thinking (phase 17, PLAN §4 extension, owner permission 2026-08-23): the model's reasoning arrives ahead of the answer and is streamed as ``thinking`` events before the ``delta`` events of the same turn. Each turn's thinking is counted in the per-turn log line (``thinking_chars=N``); ``BOR_STREAM_THINKING=0`` suppresses the ``thinking`` frames (the pieces are still counted). Honesty gate (A8, revised 2026-08-21): LOW — deflection — only when the best cosine is strictly below ``BOR_RELEVANCE_THRESHOLD`` **and** no candidate chunk FTS-matches the question (``fts_hits == 0``). A name-your-tool question with weak vector overlap but a lexical hit still gets a grounded answer. Deflection mode carries weak-hit *titles only* (never document content) plus deterministic "Maybe try" chips, and the ``done`` event / ``query_log`` row record ``deflected=true``, the weak score and the ``fts_hits`` count. Steering (phase 15): the owner's stored tuning notes are loaded per turn (oldest first) and injected into the system prompt as a ```` section — both the HIGH and the LOW prompt carry it. The per-turn log line records ``tuning=N`` (the number of injected notes). Summaries (phase 30): a lite-model summary chunk's parent *is* the source document, so a summary hit resolves to the full source document through the unchanged chunk→document mapping (A7 revised) — context assembly is untouched. ``TurnPlan.summary_hits`` counts the hit chunks with ``is_summary`` whose parent document landed in the selected top-N context, and the per-turn log line records ``summary_hits=N`` after ``fts_hits`` (PLAN §9 line extension). KB overview (phase 31): the lite-generated outline of the knowledge base (single ``kb_overview`` row) is read per turn (one indexed PK lookup — no LLM call) and injected into **both** prompts as the ```` section, ordered ```` → ```` → ```` → mode body. With an empty row the prompts stay byte-identical to the pre-phase text (phase 15 convention); ``TurnPlan.kb_chars`` records the length of the stored outline (0 when absent) and the per-turn log line records ``kb_chars=N`` after ``tuning=N`` (PLAN §9 line extension).
