Background tasks (title generation, tag suggestions, project summaries,
RSS classification) were using qwen3:8b and wiping its KV cache after
every response, preventing prefix cache hits on subsequent user messages.
Adds OLLAMA_BACKGROUND_MODEL (default: qwen2.5:0.5b) config var and
routes all background LLM calls to it, keeping qwen3:8b's KV cache
warm between user messages for consistent sub-second TTFT.
Also adds infinite scroll to KnowledgeView (replaces load-more button)
and bakes spaCy en_core_web_sm into the Docker image to eliminate the
pip install on every startup.

get_weather now returns 1 day by default (today) instead of a full 7-day
forecast. A new optional `days` parameter (1–8) lets the model request
more days when the user explicitly asks for a weekly forecast or specific
date range. Tool description updated to guide the model accordingly.

- KnowledgeView minichat: render assistant messages through renderMarkdown
so headers, bold, lists etc. display correctly instead of raw markdown
- get_weather tool: read user's temp_unit from briefing_config and convert
temperatures to °F when preferred; also include temp_unit in the
returned payload so the model can label values correctly

- KnowledgeView minichat: add margin-inline: auto so the widget centers
within the content area when max-width is reached on wide screens
- weather get_weather tool: return success: true on both the arbitrary
location path and the cached locations path so ToolCallCard shows
the correct success state instead of always flagging as error

RAG notes, RSS news, current note, URL content, and briefing articles
are now prepended to the user message rather than appended to the system
message. The system message now contains only stable content (persona,
tool guidance, date, profile, workspace, history summary), making its
token sequence identical across consecutive requests and allowing
Ollama's KV prefix cache to fire reliably every time.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Routes simple/conversational messages to think=false automatically,
even when the user has thinking enabled. Patterns checked: word count
thresholds, complexity keywords, code blocks, skip patterns for greetings
and simple CRUD. Workspace mode (think=true from frontend) still benefits
from the classifier on short messages.

wait_for_model_loaded() polled /api/ps for up to 180s waiting for the
model to appear as loaded. But Ollama lazy-loads models on the first
/api/chat request, so the poll will never succeed — it just blocks for
the full 180s after every Ollama restart before proceeding.
Removed the wait entirely. Ollama handles on-demand loading correctly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
65536 was causing Ollama to allocate a ~50GB KV cache, spilling 77% of
the model to CPU RAM and making prefill extremely slow (35-125s TTFT).
16384 covers 30+ message conversations comfortably while keeping the KV
cache small enough to stay on GPU.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Move static content (persona + tool guidance) to a fixed prefix and
append all dynamic content (date, timezone, profile, entities) as a tail.
Ollama prefix caching requires byte-for-byte token match from the start
of the prompt. Previously, Today's date + user profile were embedded
mid-prompt, invalidating the cache on every request/day and causing
~20s TTFT regardless of model warmth.
With this change the static prefix (~5500 tokens) should be cached
after the first request each session, reducing TTFT to ~2-5s for the
~200-token dynamic tail only.
Also removed inline user_timezone from tool_lines (timezone is now
stated once in the dynamic tail, which the model reads).

KnowledgeView:
- Watch streamingToolCalls; call fetchItems+fetchTags on create/update
note or task so the card grid reflects changes made via the minichat
- Cap minichat to max-width: var(--page-max-width) so it matches chat column width
WorkspaceView + WorkspaceNoteEditor:
- Expose reload() from WorkspaceNoteEditor via defineExpose
- Call noteEditorRef.reload() alongside taskPanelRef.reload() when
create_note/update_note tools succeed in the SSE watcher
KnowledgeView list cards:
- Backend: parse markdown task list into list_items [{text, checked}] + body
- Card renders up to 6 items with real checkboxes; toggleListItem()
does an optimistic update then PATCHes /api/notes/:id
- Progress bar kept below items; "+N more" shown when list is long

Two bugs:
1. Manual 'Refresh' button didn't refresh weather/RSS before compiling.
The daily scheduler calls refresh_all_feeds + refresh_location_cache
before run_compilation; the manual trigger route called run_compilation
directly, reading a stale cache. Manual trigger now mirrors the
scheduler: refresh feeds and all configured weather locations first.
2. Navigating to WorkspaceView during a long briefing compilation caused
the workspace chat to show the briefing content. triggerNow awaits
~30-60s; on completion it called loadAll() → chatStore.fetchConversation
which overwrote the workspace's currentConversation in the shared store.
Fixed with a _mounted flag — all post-async state writes in BriefingView
are now guarded so they no-op if the component has been unmounted.

Three bugs in discussArticle():
- Scroll selector was '.briefing-chat' (doesn't exist) → '.briefing-center';
the panel never scrolled into view so the response was invisible until refresh
- Only 300-char snippet was sent to the LLM; now passes the full stored
content (up to 2000 chars) from the backend
- User message wasn't shown until streaming ended; now added optimistically
to messages[] immediately on click so it appears straight away
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- KnowledgeView mini-chat: replace harsh border-top with upward box-shadow
and rounded top corners (16px); remove padding-bottom from content area
so widget truly overlays cards without pushing layout; add collapse
toggle (chevron) that hides messages without closing the conversation
- WeatherCard: show precip_mm as fallback when precipitation_probability_max
is null but actual rainfall is expected (Open-Meteo omits probability for
some forecast days even when rain is shown)
- Pass precip_mm through weather service → frontend type definitions

SQLAlchemy reserves 'metadata' as a class attribute on declarative models.
Renamed to 'entity_meta' with explicit column name 'metadata' so the DB
column is unchanged but the Python attribute no longer conflicts.

- On first load: model runs online (downloads .pt files), then stores the
current HF commit SHA to /data/kokoro_commit_hash.txt and switches the
process to offline mode (HF_HUB_OFFLINE) for all future requests
- On subsequent restarts: presence of the commit file triggers offline mode
before the pipeline loads, skipping all HuggingFace network validation
- Daily at 03:00 UTC: scheduler temporarily lifts offline mode, fetches the
latest commit SHA from HF, and only reloads the pipeline if the model has
actually changed — then restores offline mode
- Removed HF_HUB_OFFLINE from docker-compose.yml; behaviour is now automatic
and not a hoster/user concern

- ChatView: listen mode toggle (auto-reads new responses via TTS), volume popup
with range slider persisted per-device in localStorage via GainNode
- useVoiceAudio: shared module-level _volume ref with localStorage persistence,
GainNode for volume control, exported setVoiceVolume()
- tts.py: pre-warm all Kokoro voices at pipeline load to eliminate HuggingFace
HEAD requests at synthesis time (reduces TTS latency)
- BriefingView: discuss article button now auto-sends instead of just filling input;
prompt capped to 15 sentences; send() accepts optional overrideText
- llm.py: instruct LLM not to proactively search notes or comment on note absence

synthesiseSpeech() called without explicit params now omits voice/speed/
blend from the request body. The backend detects this and auto-loads all
three from the user's saved settings (voice_tts_voice, voice_tts_speed,
voice_tts_blend), so briefing listen mode respects the voice the user
configured in Settings.

- Fetch precipitation_probability_max from Open-Meteo (replaces precip_sum
in the card display — probability is more useful at a glance than mm)
- Show WMO condition description text on each forecast day
- Convert wind speed to mph when temp unit is F; pass wind_unit in response
- Display 💧 X% chance of rain; 💨 X mph/km/h wind per day
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- WeatherCard: show precipitation (mm) and max wind speed per forecast day
- DashboardChatInput: add PTT mic button (transcribe-to-input, voice-gated)
- Remove global VoiceOverlay floating button and Space PTT shortcut from
App.vue — inline mic buttons in chat/briefing/dashboard are the right UX;
global overlay had focus/latency/context issues

Add voice blend support to TTS pipeline and settings UI. Users can mix
2–5 Kokoro voices with per-voice weight sliders; the blended style tensor
replaces the single voice when enabled. Settings persist as JSON and auto-
load on synthesis when no explicit voice is supplied in the request.

- Add trafilatura + html2text to dependencies
- Replace custom HTMLStripper with html2text for RSS feed content
- Fetch full article text via httpx + trafilatura after each new item is stored;
falls back to RSS-provided content if fetch/extraction fails
- Raise CONTENT_MAX_CHARS from 2000 to 50000 (TEXT column, no migration needed)
- Re-embed items with full article content once enrichment completes
- Startup backfill enriches existing items with short content (<1000 chars)

feedparser returns HTML in content/summary fields for many feeds.
Raw tags were being stored in the DB and passed to the LLM/embeddings.
Added a stdlib HTMLParser-based stripper in extract_item() — block elements
become newlines, script/style content is dropped, plain text passes through.
No new dependencies required.

- Embed RSS items at fetch time (nomic-embed-text); backfill at startup
- Semantic news search injected into chat system prompt ("Recent News You've Seen")
when items match query above 0.55 cosine threshold (independent of note RAG)
- "Discuss in chat" button on news cards — creates a seeded conversation with
the article title + full content, navigates directly to the new chat
- Briefing compilation now passes 500-char article excerpts (not just headlines)
to the LLM and uses 8192 num_ctx to accommodate the larger prompt

Replaces the freeform briefing-profile note with a DB-backed user_profiles
table. Users can edit job/industry/expertise/response preferences/interests/
work schedule via a new Settings → Profile tab. The LLM appends nightly
observations; at 14+ entries they are auto-consolidated into a learned_summary.
Profile context is injected into both briefing and chat system prompts.

Replace two-pass structured LLM synthesis (## Your Day / ## The World
sections with bullets and formatted news cards) with a single
conversational pass. The new prompt instructs the model to write 3-5
flowing sentences covering weather, today's tasks/events, and 1-2 news
highlights — no markdown, no headers, no lists. Full news detail stays
in the right panel; weather detail stays in the weather card.

Prevents models from sitting in VRAM indefinitely. Applies to both
streaming chat calls and the non-streaming generate_completion path,
as well as the startup warm-up request.

Voice enabled/STT model are now DB-backed (admin settings), not env
vars. Added reload_stt_model()/reload_tts_model() that clear singletons
under lock and re-trigger loading. POST /api/admin/voice/reload triggers
both in background tasks. Settings UI polls /api/voice/status every 2.5s
until models are ready, with spinner feedback.

Replace VOICE_ENABLED env var gate with DB-backed admin setting.
- services/voice_config.py: reads voice_enabled + voice_stt_model from
admin user's settings row (falls back to env var defaults)
- routes/admin.py: GET/PUT /api/admin/voice for admin configuration
- routes/voice.py, services/stt.py, services/tts.py: read enabled/model
from DB via voice_config instead of Config directly
- app.py: always schedule model loaders at startup; they self-gate on
the DB setting so no conditional needed at the call site
- SettingsView.vue: Voice section in Admin → Config tab (enable toggle +
STT model dropdown); user Voice tab now points to admin panel when disabled
No env var required to test — enable via Settings → Admin → Config → Voice.

create_project and create_milestone hardcoded status="active" and
ignored any value passed by the MCP or API callers. Route, service,

Add _build_briefing_article_context() helper to llm.py that reads
