+ * Covers e2e-plan.md §7.3: with `AUTH_TYPE=simple_jwt` the backend does NOT

+ * HOW TO RUN THIS SPEC

+ * so this spec self-skips unless the harness is explicitly in simple_jwt
+ * mode. To run it:
+ *
+ *   1. Override the auth type for the backend: either edit `env.sh`
+ *      temporarily to `AUTH_TYPE=simple_jwt` OR run
+ *      `AUTH_TYPE=simple_jwt scripts/e2e/up.sh` (env passthrough).
+ *   2. Also export `E2E_AUTH_MODE=simple_jwt` so this spec un-skips:
+ *      `E2E_AUTH_MODE=simple_jwt npm run e2e`.
+ *   3. The companion spec `session_jwt.spec.ts` will no-op cleanly in
+ *      simple_jwt mode because its token bootstrap tolerates either path.

+ * Phase 2 — P2-12 · Cross-user agent share.
+ *
+ * Writes to `users.agent_preferences.shared_with_me` (JSONB) and
+ * `agents.shared_token` (CITEXT UNIQUE). Exercises the full cross-user
+ * share lifecycle — A shares, B opens via token, B lists, B removes —
+ * plus the migration-critical silent-break: stale-id cleanup on A's
+ * unshare, which lives in the GET /api/shared_agents read path
+ * (`SharedAgents.get` in application/api/user/agents/sharing.py).
+ *
+ * // Silent-break covered: shared_with_me stale-id cleanup on A's unshare
+ *    — when A toggles `shared:false`, the agent's `shared_token` is set NULL
+ *    and its `shared` flag flips to false, but B's
+ *    `agent_preferences.shared_with_me` still contains the agent id. The
+ *    next `GET /api/shared_agents` for B must filter out ids whose agents
+ *    are no longer shared AND also call `remove_shared_bulk` to strip
+ *    those stale ids from B's prefs. If the cleanup regresses, B sees a
+ *    zombie entry that 404s on open (or, worse, reappears after every
+ *    list refresh).
+ *
+ * API-driven for speed; the UI share toggle is an optional surface —
+ * `frontend/src/agents/AgentCard.tsx` calls `PUT /api/share_agent` and
+ * `frontend/src/agents/SharedAgent.tsx` calls `GET /api/shared_agent?token=`,
+ * so hitting the endpoints directly is functionally equivalent.

+ * Phase 2 — P2-10 · Agent CRUD (classic type).
+ *
+ * Writes to `agents`, reads `prompts`, touches `users`. Exercises the full
+ * create→publish→update→delete lifecycle plus cross-tenant isolation and a
+ * source-resolution check.
+ *
+ * // Silent-break covered: agents.extra_source_ids resolves to real sources —
+ * // a stale UUID (e.g. from a template remint) would silently break
+ * // retrieval. We create a real `sources` row, attach its UUID via
+ * // extra_source_ids, and assert the create_agent round-trip preserves the
+ * // reference and that /api/search's source-resolution path finds it.
+ *
+ * Deviation note: the `sources` row in the silent-break test is inserted
+ * directly via `pg.query` rather than exercising /api/upload. Reason: upload
+ * spawns Celery ingestion and depends on the mock LLM's embedding endpoint
+ * plus on-disk Faiss index — far slower and orthogonal to what this spec
+ * protects. The schema the INSERT uses is locked by alembic 0001_initial
+ * (CREATE TABLE sources). Flagged per the subagent brief.
+ *
+ * Creation uses /api/create_agent's multipart form path (not the JSON path).
+ * The helper `authedRequest` sets a default application/json Content-Type
+ * on the context, which would collide with Playwright's multipart boundary
+ * header — so this spec builds its own multipart-ready context via
+ * `playwright.request.newContext` without that default.

+/**
+ * Phase 2 — P2-04 · Token usage / message / feedback analytics.
+ *
+ * Silent-break covered: analytics bucket keys use YYYY-MM-DD HH24:00 format
+ * (Postgres `to_char`). A drift to the Python `%Y-%m-%d %H:00` strftime
+ * shape would look identical in the happy case but differ at the second /
+ * minute boundary when `datetime.now()` crosses an hour just as the
+ * bucket labels are being generated for empty intervals. The assertions
+ * below verify the server emits the Postgres format for every
+ * filter_option so the intervals dict and the grouped rows key-match.
+ *
+ * Tables touched (reads only — analytics never writes):
+ *   - `token_usage`                        (seeded directly below)
+ *   - `conversation_messages` (feedback)   (seeded directly below)
+ *   - `conversations`                      (joined on c.user_id / c.api_key)
+ *   - `agents`                             (resolves api_key_id → key)
+ *
+ * Why seed token_usage via INSERT rather than via `/stream`:
+ * the streaming path produces tokens via the mock LLM whose exact count
+ * and timing are not deterministic enough for `expect().toBe(42)` — but
+ * analytics itself is a pure read aggregator. We are testing the
+ * aggregation shape, not the writer. A direct INSERT yields the exact
+ * same row shape `TokenUsageRepository.insert` produces (see
+ * `application/storage/db/repositories/token_usage.py`). One test
+ * cross-checks the writer path implicitly by using an agent api_key
+ * created through the real `/api/create_agent` endpoint.

+/**
+ * Phase 2 — P2-14 · Attachment upload bound to conversation message.
+ *
+ * Writes to the Tier-1 `attachments` table (via `/api/store_attachment` → Celery
+ * worker `attachment_worker` → `AttachmentsRepository.create`) and, via the
+ * subsequent `/stream` call, to `conversation_messages.attachments[]`
+ * (UUID[]).
+ *
+ * The storage path for a post-cutover attachment is subtle: the route mints a
+ * fresh UUID and hands it to the worker as `attachment_id`; the worker then
+ * creates a PG row whose **id** is a newly-minted `gen_random_uuid()` and
+ * stashes the caller-visible UUID in `legacy_mongo_id`. Callers later reference
+ * that caller-visible UUID via the `attachments` list on `/stream`; the server
+ * resolves it to the canonical PG `id` (`conversations.ConversationsRepository
+ * ._resolve_attachment_refs`) before writing the array column. So
+ * `conversation_messages.attachments[]` holds PG PKs, not caller-visible ids.
+ *
+ * // NOTE on cross-tenant: `_resolve_attachment_refs` on the write path does
+ *    NOT scope by user, so a cross-user legacy UUID reference lands in the
+ *    persisted `conversation_messages.attachments[]` array. The safety net
+ *    is read-side — `AttachmentsRepository.get_any` is user-scoped, so the
+ *    LLM context and the `/api/get_single_conversation` rehydration both
+ *    deny access to the other user's file. The cross-tenant test below
+ *    asserts the read-side boundary, not the write-side array contents.
+ *
+ * // Silent-break covered: cleanup_message_attachment_refs trigger strips
+ * deleted UUIDs from every `conversation_messages.attachments[]` on
+ * `AFTER DELETE ON attachments`. If the trigger is broken, stale UUIDs linger
+ * in message arrays and the UI renders phantom chips on conversation reload.
+ *
+ * The UI's file picker is intentionally avoided (Playwright's `setInputFiles`
+ * flow is flakier here than a raw multipart POST, and the P2 brief explicitly
+ * permits API-direct when the upload surface is Celery-dispatched). DB
+ * assertions on BOTH `attachments` and `conversation_messages.attachments[]`
+ * are non-negotiable per the Phase 2 invariant.

+ * Phase 2 — P2-07 · chat turn save (the HOTTEST migration path).
+ *
+ * A single /stream call is responsible for writes to FOUR Tier-1 tables:
+ *
+ *   - `conversations`          (1 row per new conversation)
+ *   - `conversation_messages`  (1 row per turn — prompt AND response in the
+ *                               same row, positions 0, 1, 2, ...)
+ *   - `token_usage`            (>=1 row: per-LLM-call insert from the
+ *                               stream_token_usage decorator in
+ *                               application/usage.py)
+ *   - `user_logs`              (>=1 row: the `stream_answer` summary log
+ *                               appended at the tail of complete_stream)
+ *
+ * The migration-critical silent break lives in
+ * `ConversationsRepository.append_message`: if the advisory lock
+ * (SELECT ... FOR UPDATE on the parent conversations row) is broken, two
+ * concurrent /stream calls on the SAME conversation_id race on the
+ * COALESCE(MAX(position), -1) + 1 query and both try to insert at the
+ * same position. `conversation_messages_conv_pos_uidx` then 500s one of
+ * them — a LOST MESSAGE, invisible from the UI since the first turn
+ * already returned 200 and the user moved on. This spec pins that lock
+ * in place by firing two /stream POSTs via Promise.all and proving
+ *   (a) neither returns 500
+ *   (b) both resulting turn rows landed at UNIQUE positions
+ *
+ * Invocation style note: SSE is wrapped by fetch() / APIRequestContext
+ * much more cleanly than by a second browser context — we don't need
+ * UI events for the concurrency test, only the HTTP response code and
+ * the eventual DB state. UI-driven for the happy path only.

+/**
+ * Phase 2 — P2-05 · Message feedback.
+ *
+ * Writes to the JSONB `conversation_messages.feedback` column. The separate
+ * `feedback` table planned in early Phase 1 was dropped during Phase 3
+ * hardening — see migration-postgres.md §2.2:
+ *     "A dedicated `feedback` table was originally planned for this tier
+ *      (and built in early Phase 1) but dropped during Phase 3 hardening:
+ *      per-message feedback lives on `conversation_messages.feedback` (JSONB)
+ *      via `ConversationsRepository.set_feedback`, and the standalone table
+ *      was never populated or read."
+ *
+ * // Silent-break covered: feedback on index 0 lands on first message, not second
+ *
+ * The migration-critical silent-break: the frontend passes `prompt_index` to
+ * `handleSendFeedback` (conversationHandlers.ts:510-536), which is forwarded
+ * verbatim to the `/api/feedback` endpoint as `question_index`. The backend
+ * route `SubmitFeedback.post` (application/api/user/conversations/routes.py)
+ * passes it to `ConversationsRepository.set_feedback(conv_id, position, ...)`
+ * which runs `UPDATE ... WHERE conversation_id = ... AND position = :pos`.
+ *
+ * If the frontend counted user turns starting from 1 while the backend stored
+ * positions starting from 0 (or vice versa), a thumbs-up on the FIRST message
+ * would write feedback to the SECOND message and the user would see the
+ * thumbs-up on the wrong row after a reload. The fact that the JSONB column
+ * replaced the separate `feedback` table makes this worse — there's no
+ * intermediate audit surface, the write is just silently misfiled.
+ *
+ * We prove positional correctness by creating a 2-message conversation,
+ * submitting feedback at `question_index=0`, and asserting the JSONB landed
+ * on the row where `position=0` AND is NULL on the row where `position=1`.
+ *
+ * Seeding strategy: we drive the `/stream` endpoint twice via the
+ * authed `APIRequestContext`. First call creates the conversation (emits the
+ * new conversation_id as a `{"type":"id"}` SSE event) and appends message at
+ * position 0. Second call (with that conversation_id) appends at position 1.
+ * UI chat flow is covered by P2-07, not here; this spec is API-only so we
+ * can exercise the exact positional contract the UI depends on.

+ * PG-UUID translation seam where a silent break can lurk.
+ *
+ * // Silent-break covered: promptable share uses the real user prompt, not default fallback.
+ *    If `_resolve_prompt_pg_id` in application/api/user/sharing/routes.py
+ *    returns None for a valid, user-owned prompt (e.g. because the UUID
+ *    branch is skipped and the legacy_mongo_id branch is consulted with
+ *    the wrong id shape), `agents.prompt_id` silently lands as NULL, the
+ *    shared agent falls back to the built-in default persona, and the
+ *    visitor never knows. We pin this down with a DB-level assertion that

+/**
+ * Phase 2 — P2-13 · Telemetry on error paths (stack_logs + user_logs).
+ *
+ * Asserts the two append-only, server-side telemetry pipes stay wired after
+ * the MongoDB→Postgres migration:
+ *
+ *   - `stack_logs` is written by the `@log_activity()` decorator on
+ *     `BaseAgent.gen` (application/logging.py:71-123). The decorator wraps
+ *     the generator: on normal completion the `finally` branch writes a
+ *     single `level="info"` row; on exception it ALSO writes a `level="error"`
+ *     row before re-raising. Both branches go through
+ *     `_log_activity_to_db` → `StackLogsRepository.insert`.
+ *   - `user_logs` is written by `BaseAnswerResource.complete_stream` in
+ *     application/api/answer/routes/base.py:460-466, right before the final
+ *     `data: {"type": "end"}` frame. Action="stream_answer", user_id is the
+ *     decoded JWT `sub` (or the agent owner when invoked via api_key).
+ *
+ * // Silent-break covered: bad request emits stack_logs and user_logs rows.
+ *    A working `/stream` exchange MUST land a row in BOTH tables (one
+ *    stack_logs info row emitted by the `@log_activity` finally, one
+ *    user_logs stream_answer row emitted by `complete_stream`). If either
+ *    pipe silently regresses — e.g. the decorator is removed, the repo
+ *    import breaks, or the session-context-manager swallows the write —
+ *    production loses visibility into per-request traces without any user-
+ *    facing surface; the app keeps happily serving answers.
+ *    This spec additionally proves the error path: when the agent layer
+ *    raises inside `agent.gen` the finally still fires, AND a preceding
+ *    `level="error"` row is logged first, so nothing is lost on the failure
+ *    leg either.
+ *
+ * The `/stream` error we deliberately trigger is an INVALID `prompt_id`
+ * (neither a built-in preset nor a UUID/legacy id). `get_prompt` raises
+ * `ValueError("Prompt with ID ... not found")` from inside
+ * `create_agent` — which runs as part of building the agent, *before*
+ * `agent.gen` is iterated. That surfaces as a 400 at the route level
+ * (`except ValueError` in application/api/answer/routes/stream.py:151),
+ * and — critically — no stack_logs/user_logs row is written for this
+ * kind of failure, because the telemetry decorator is bound to
+ * `BaseAgent.gen` not to the route. We assert exactly that behavior so
+ * nobody misreads "no row on 400" as a regression. The row-emitting
+ * path is exercised by the happy-path test, where we pull the response
+ * body to let the server-side generator run to completion.

+/**
+ * Phase 2 — P2-03 · Tools CRUD + encrypted secrets.
+ *
+ * Writes to the Tier-1 `user_tools` table via the `/api/create_tool`,
+ * `/api/update_tool`, `/api/update_tool_status`, and `/api/delete_tool`
+ * endpoints (the same calls the UI issues from `frontend/src/settings/Tools.tsx`
+ * + `ToolConfig.tsx` + `AddToolModal.tsx` + `ConfigToolModal.tsx`). Each test
+ * provisions its own user via `newUserContext` and resets the DB in
+ * `beforeEach`.
+ *
+ * // Silent-break covered: blank-secret update merges, does not wipe
+ *    encrypted_credentials. The repo-side `_merge_secrets_on_update` in
+ *    application/api/user/tools/routes.py is the exact line where the bug
+ *    would hide — if the merge path regresses to a naive overwrite, the
+ *    encrypted blob would be wiped when the UI sends a config update
+ *    without re-supplying the secret (the frontend's `buildConfigToSave`
+ *    strips blank secret fields entirely).
+ *
+ *    NOTE: the backend ALWAYS re-encrypts on update (decrypt → merge → encrypt
+ *    with a fresh salt/iv), so a byte-for-byte equality check on the stored
+ *    blob is not achievable. We instead prove merge-preservation by asserting
+ *    that after a blank-secret update (a) the encrypted_credentials blob is
+ *    still present and non-empty, (b) does not contain the plaintext secret,
+ *    and (c) /api/get_tools still reports `has_encrypted_credentials: true`
+ *    — i.e. the secret survives. A regression to naive overwrite would blow
+ *    the blob away entirely, which these checks catch.

+ * Phase 2 — P2-06 · User activity logs viewer.
+ *
+ * Reads from the Tier-1 append-only `user_logs` table via the
+ * `POST /api/get_user_logs` endpoint (the call the UI issues from
+ * `frontend/src/settings/Logs.tsx` → `userService.getLogs`). Each log row is
+ * written server-side by `complete_stream` in
+ * `application/api/answer/routes/base.py:460-466` — so the "seed" for these
+ * tests is a real `POST /stream` exchange (drained fully so the generator
+ * reaches the insert statement before we assert).
+ *
+ * // Silent-break covered: find_by_api_key filter on data->>'api_key'
+ *    returns rows. The repo-side `UserLogsRepository.find_by_api_key`
+ *    (application/storage/db/repositories/user_logs.py:86-115) filters rows
+ *    via `WHERE data->>'api_key' = :api_key`. If a refactor ever promoted
+ *    `api_key` to a top-level column on `user_logs` (or renamed the JSONB
+ *    key), the JSONB text-extractor would return NULL for every row and
+ *    the per-agent log view would silently render empty — the UI would
+ *    look like it "lost" every historical log for that agent without any
+ *    error surfacing. The `Silent-break: filter by api_key` test proves
+ *    the end-to-end path (publish agent → `/stream` with `api_key` →
+ *    `/api/get_user_logs?api_key_id=<agent uuid>`) still yields the newly
+ *    written row, and doubles up with a direct DB probe on
+ *    `data->>'api_key'` for ground-truth sanity.

+// Phase 3 Tier-B · B15 artifact sidebar (todos / notes / memory) + legacy fallback.
+/**
+ * The UI's artifact sidebar (`frontend/src/components/ArtifactSidebar.tsx`)
+ * opens on a question that triggered a tool call that wrote a `note` or a
+ * `todo_list` and reads from `GET /api/artifact/<artifact_id>` (see
+ * `application/api/user/tools/routes.py` — `GetArtifact`). The route is
+ * also exercised on reload of an older conversation whose stored artifact id
+ * is a legacy Mongo ObjectId — the todos repository has a `get_by_legacy_id`
+ * fallback explicitly for that case.
+ *
+ * Rather than drive a full tool end-to-end (which pulls in Celery-scheduled
+ * tool execution), we insert fixture rows into `notes` / `todos` / `memories`
+ * directly — the shape is locked by alembic 0001_initial and the route reads
+ * straight off those tables via the repository layer.
+ *
+ * Covered:
+ *   1. notes: `GET /api/artifact/<note-uuid>` returns artifact_type=note
+ *      with the note content and line_count.
+ *   2. todos: `GET /api/artifact/<todo-uuid>` returns artifact_type=todo_list
+ *      with all todos in the owning user_tool and open/completed counts.
+ *   3. legacy fallback: a todo row inserted with `legacy_mongo_id` set to an
+ *      ObjectId-shaped hex string resolves via `GET /api/artifact/<legacy-id>`.
+ *   4. cross-tenant: user B's request for user A's note 404s (repositories
+ *      are user-scoped, and the legacy fallback additionally re-checks the
+ *      owning user_id before returning).
+ *   5. cascade delete: dropping the owning `user_tools` row cascades the
+ *      artifact rows (notes/todos FK ON DELETE CASCADE). Asserted via SQL.
+ *   6. memories: route does not (yet) serve memory artifacts — asserted
+ *      here as a 404 so a future route extension flips this test loudly.

+/**
+ * Phase 3 Tier-B · agent folders CRUD + nesting + move/bulk-move
+ *
+ * Covers B10: create/list/rename/delete folders, nest via parent_id, cycle
+ * prevention, and single/bulk agent-move into folders. API-only — folder
+ * state has no dedicated landing UI, and the DB row shape (agent_folders,
+ * agents.folder_id) is the load-bearing contract.
+ *
+ * Contract notes discovered while writing this spec:
+ *   - `POST /api/agents/folders/` requires the TRAILING SLASH — the
+ *     non-slashed URL 301-redirects and Playwright's APIRequestContext
+ *     does not follow POST→GET redirects for mutating verbs. Same for GET.
+ *   - DELETE on a folder clears `folder_id` for its agents (via
+ *     AgentsRepository.clear_folder_for_all) — this matches the spec brief's
+ *     "FK cascade behavior" shorthand (it's an app-level clear, not an
+ *     ON DELETE SET NULL; the on-agents FK is SET NULL but the explicit
+ *     clear runs first inside the same db_session).
+ *   - Self-parent cycle is rejected with 400; deeper cycles are not
+ *     guarded against by the current API (only the immediate self-parent
+ *     guard exists in folders.py:207-232). We test the self-parent case
+ *     only — that's the documented guard.

+// Phase 3 Tier-B · B17 image serve endpoint.
+/**
+ * Exercises `GET /api/images/<path:image_path>` in
+ * `application/api/user/attachments/routes.py` — the static-ish endpoint
+ * that fronts `storage.get_file()` for user-uploaded agent images and
+ * anything else the UI references via `generate_image_url(...)`. The route
+ * is not authenticated (no `@token_required` wrapping) by design — the
+ * image URLs are shared publicly e.g. in the agents marketplace — so we
+ * don't set up a `newUserContext` here, unlike every other Tier-B spec.
+ *
+ * Storage contract gotcha: `LocalStorage.__init__` sets `base_dir` to the
+ * repo root (three `os.path.dirname()` calls up from
+ * `application/storage/local.py`). The e2e env sets `UPLOAD_FOLDER=.e2e-tmp/inputs`
+ * but that is the directory the upload handlers write INTO; it is not the
+ * storage base. So an image request for `/api/images/foo/bar.png` resolves
+ * to `<repo_root>/foo/bar.png`. The tests below write their fixture files
+ * under `<repo_root>/.e2e-tmp/inputs/e2e-images/<filename>` and request
+ * `/api/images/.e2e-tmp/inputs/e2e-images/<filename>` — the `.` prefix is
+ * NOT `..` so it passes the route's literal-substring guard.
+ *
+ * Covered:
+ *   1. served file: write a small PNG under storage, GET returns bytes +
+ *      correct Content-Type + Cache-Control header.
+ *   2. path traversal: `/api/images/../../etc/passwd` — rejected 400 before
+ *      hitting storage. Also URL-encoded %2E%2E variant.
+ *   3. missing file: GET against a known-absent path → 404.
+ *   4. non-image extensions serve with a predictable content-type (the
+ *      route trusts the extension and returns `image/<ext>`).
+ *   5. jpg alias: extension `.jpg` is served as `image/jpeg` (not `image/jpg`).

+ * before_request so we exercise the endpoint with no Authorization
+ * header, which mirrors the widget call path).

+ * The `source_id` for a freshly-published agent points at our

+ * exist yet, so search gracefully returns [] rather than 500ing (per
+ * the source-loading `try/except` in `_search_vectorstores`). That's
+ * the empty-data contract we assert.

+ *                                 and is NOT a connector).
+ *
+ * Notable contract:
+ *   - File-based sources (no `remote_data`) cannot be manually synced —
+ *     they return 400 "Source is not syncable". This contradicts the
+ *     subagent brief, which assumed file sources accepted sync_source.
+ *     Documenting the correction here; the test asserts the observed 400.
+ *   - Connector sources (`type` starts with "connector") are rejected

+// Phase 3 Tier-B · streaming UX (SSE delivery, research progress, tool approval resume)
+/**
+ * Phase 3 — B7 · streaming UX + tool-state plumbing.
+ *
+ * Focus: the `/stream` SSE surface that `frontend/src/conversation/Conversation.tsx`
+ * consumes. Unlike the migration-critical chat-turn spec (P2-07), these tests
+ * care about the SHAPE of the event stream, not about specific DB columns:
+ *
+ *   1. Non-streaming-client baseline — `application/api/answer/routes/base.py`
+ *      always emits `data: <json>\n\n` framing, always terminates with
+ *      `{"type":"end"}`, and always emits `{"type":"id", "id": "<uuid>"}`
+ *      when `save_conversation` lands. None of that is asserted by the
+ *      migration specs.
+ *   2. `pending_tool_state` plumbing — the continuation route path
+ *      (`data.tool_actions`) loads state from the PG table, resumes the
+ *      agent, and deletes the row on success. We simulate the "paused"
+ *      half by inserting a minimal row, then drive the resume request and
+ *      confirm the row is cleared. Spinning up a real approval-gated tool
+ *      would need agent-level wiring that is orthogonal to the contract
+ *      this spec guards.
+ *   3. Abort mid-stream — prove no `pending_tool_state` orphan and no
+ *      advisory-lock starvation: a follow-up `/stream` with the same
+ *      conversation_id must still succeed.
+ *   4. Research agent — best-effort. The mock LLM is generic enough that
+ *      a `research` agent may not emit the full planning/synthesis dance,
+ *      so the assertion is loose (either research_progress frames appear
+ *      OR the stream terminates cleanly with `end`).

+ * `user_id = '__system__'`, and `POST /api/adopt_agent?id=…` creates a
+ * user-owned copy with the same shape but a fresh `id`/`user_id`/`key`.
+ *
+ * The e2e DB starts with zero template rows — Phase 0 only applies the
+ * schema, not template seeding. We insert a `__system__`-owned row via
+ * direct SQL to simulate a seeded template. This matches the brief's
+ * explicit guidance ("if empty, INSERT a fake __system__ template agent
+ * via SQL for the test") and avoids coupling to a future seed script
+ * that doesn't exist yet.
+ *
+ * Contract quirks:
+ *   - `/api/adopt_agent` returns HTTP 200 (not 201) on success — the
+ *     response body shape is `{success: true, agent: {...}}`.
+ *   - The adopted agent's status mirrors the template's — templates in
+ *     the wild are typically `published`, and the new row inherits that.
+ *     The route mints a fresh `key` UUID regardless.

+ *   - POST /api/upload            (multipart file upload → Celery `ingest`)
+ *   - POST /api/remote            (form w/ JSON `data` → Celery `ingest_remote`
+ *                                  for source=url/github/crawler/reddit/s3/
+ *                                  connectors)
+ *
+ * Plus /api/task_status polling. Each state-changing call is followed by a
+ * DB assertion on the `sources` table.
+ *
+ * URL ingestor choice: we point the `source=url` variant at
+ * `http://127.0.0.1:7099/api/config` — a stable always-200 endpoint on the
+ * e2e Flask — to avoid external network dependencies. The ingest_remote
+ * task invocation + /api/task_status round-trip is what we verify; the
+ * actual crawl result is a black box depending on the crawler's user-agent
+ * handling, which is out of scope for B1.
+ *
+ * Known-issue note (not fixed by this spec):
+ *   After a successful upload, the `sources.id` minted by
+ *   `SourcesRepository.create` is NOT the same UUID as the faiss index
+ *   directory the worker wrote (`indexes/<worker-uuid>/`). Chunks lookups
+ *   keyed on sources.id therefore 500 — this is why chunks.spec.ts
+ *   explicitly seeds a PG row with the faiss directory's UUID rather than
+ *   relying on the natural upload flow. We assert the `sources` row exists
+ *   here and leave the id-mismatch to B3's harness.

+// Phase 3 Tier-B · /v1/chat/completions + /v1/models (OpenAI-compatible)
+/**
+ * Phase 3 — B9 · OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
+ *
+ * `application/api/v1/routes.py` exposes `/v1/chat/completions` (POST)
+ * and `/v1/models` (GET). Both read an agent API key from
+ * `Authorization: Bearer <agent.key>` via `_extract_bearer_token()`
+ * and look up the owning agent via `AgentsRepository.find_by_key`.
+ *
+ * Contract gotcha — interaction with the global JWT middleware
+ * ------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Under `AUTH_TYPE=session_jwt` (the e2e default) the Flask
+ * `before_request` in `application/app.py` runs `handle_auth()`
+ * BEFORE the blueprint is reached. `handle_auth()` tries to JWT-
+ * decode any present `Authorization: Bearer <value>` and 401s on
+ * decode failure. Agent API keys are UUIDs (not JWTs), so passing
+ * one in the Bearer slot gets rejected at the before_request layer
+ * before the v1 route can run.
+ *
+ * Consequence for this spec:
+ *   - missing header → 401 at the v1 route (reachable).
+ *   - invalid key that happens to be JWT-shaped (e.g. a JWT signed
+ *     for a non-existent sub) → 401 at v1 route (Invalid API key).
+ *   - real agent api_key → currently 401 at the before_request
+ *     layer under session_jwt. Covered by a `test.fixme` to pin
+ *     the product-level expectation.
+ *
+ * If the before_request gate ever learns to skip `/v1/*` paths
+ * (or to fall back to "treat bearer as opaque token for /v1/*"),
+ * the fixme'd tests unfixme and start enforcing the happy-path
+ * contract.

+ *     `success_response({"id": ...}, 201)` maps the second positional
+ *     arg to `message`, not the HTTP status (see
+ *     application/api/user/utils.py:39-48). The route uses the shape
+ *     "success + data.id" — we assert on those, not on 201.
+ *   - The PUT route DELETES other graph versions after writing the new
+ *     one (WorkflowNodesRepository.delete_other_versions). The brief
+ *     said "prior version retained until pruned" — the current
+ *     implementation prunes immediately inside the same transaction, so
+ *     we assert only the post-PUT invariants: (a) `current_graph_version`
+ *     bumped, (b) only the new version's nodes/edges survive.
+ *   - On validation failure the response is 400 with
+ *     `{"success":false,"error":"Workflow validation failed","errors":[...]}`.

+ *   C3  chunk-count default  -> localStorage.DocsGPTChunks persists
+ *   C4  default prompt       -> localStorage.DocsGPTPrompt persists
+ *   C5  action buttons       -> New Chat button visible & clickable
+ *   C6  notification banner  -> skipped: env-gated at build time
+ *   C8  sidebar collapse     -> `Collapse sidebar` button toggles to `Expand`
+ *   C9  404 route            -> PageNotFound heading visible
+ *   C10 upload drag-drop     -> fixme: no global drop handler in current UI
+ *   C11 markdown rendering   -> seeded /share conv renders <h1> from ```md```
+ *   C12 mermaid rendering    -> seeded /share conv renders mermaid (code or svg)
+ *   C13 agent logs route     -> `/agents/logs/:agentId` renders title
+ *
+ * Setup: one shared authenticated context per test (no beforeAll reuse because
+ * some tests mutate localStorage / navigate to routes that break other tests).
+ * DB inserts (C11/C12/C13) go through Postgres directly — share URL renders a
+ * row's response verbatim, which is the simplest path to get markdown/mermaid
