Trust + Credibility ship — intel-graph live demo on /forge + founder dossier + Public P&L + OSS badge + Roadmap + Trust hub consolidation

+app/api/forge/intel-public-demo/route.ts NEW: unauthenticated Polymarket macro snapshot endpoint for the /forge public hero widget. Wraps `fetchMacroSnapshot()` from lib/intel/macro and returns a 5-category bucketed payload (politics / crypto / sports / macro / tech) with top-market question, current_pct, delta_7d_pct, and volume_bucket (sm/md/lg). 1h Cache-Control. Graceful degradation to stub response so the marketing surface never 5xx-s. Distinct from /api/intel/macro-snapshot (auth-required, tier-gated) and /api/intel-api/macro_snapshot (Bearer + KaironOS plan).
+components/forge/IntelGraphLiveDemo.tsx NEW: client island rendering the 5-tile macro snapshot grid mounted on /forge hero zone. Shows source state (LIVE / CACHE / SYNC), as-of timestamp, manual refresh button, and per-tile trend indicator (TrendingUp / TrendingDown / Minus with var(--primary) / var(--red) / var(--muted) coloring). Caption: "What Forge agents see right now." Replaces the customer's claim-trust gap with a live, refreshing visible artifact of the intel graph in operation.
+app/(neutral)/about/founder/page.tsx NEW + lib/founder/projects.ts NEW: founder dossier surface at /about/founder. FOUNDER_PROFILE single-source-of-truth in lib/founder/projects.ts: handle (greymoth-jp, matches GitHub), role, editorial bio paragraph, 4 projects (Kairon Forge / Kairon Trade / Kairon Media / Kairon Intelligence API with status: live/in-flight), 14-skill stack across language/framework/infra/discipline groups. Page renders avatar placeholder (Lucide User icon over radial-gradient), GitHub + email social row, projects timeline with status badges, skill token grid, and cross-links to /forge/trust + /transparency/financials + /roadmap. Server Component, static, no client interactivity.
+app/(neutral)/transparency/financials/page.tsx NEW: Public monthly P&L (PROJECT.md §11 #19 deliverable). v0.1 preview with September 2026 statement, 9 revenue lines (Subscriptions / Lounge / Pulse Box / Ticket fees / Door splits / Venue flat / Merch / Label API / Sponsorship — all $0 placeholder pre-launch), 9 expense lines (Stripe / AWS / Anthropic / Postmark / Editorial / Engineering / Pulse Box manufacturing / Legal / Office — all $0 pre-revenue), KPI tile row (Revenue / Expenses / Net / Runway), and founder commentary section explaining the v0.1 zero values. "Our books are open. Updated monthly." banner. Tagline: "No music platform publishes monthly P&L. We do."
+app/(neutral)/roadmap/page.tsx NEW + components/ShellGate.tsx: /roadmap appended to NEUTRAL_PATH_PREFIXES so the page renders with neutral chrome. 3-column grid: Shipped (6 entries from v0.65 → v0.66.3 + Cycle 8/9), In flight (6 entries: SOC2 Type I, Vanta, intel-graph MCP, DevOps pack, persistent audit DB, this trust ship), Q3-Q4 2026 Locked (6 entries: pen test, HackerOne, Stocks launch, Phase 3 agency ICP, SOC2 Type II window, Intel API waitlist). Every entry carries a release tag OR target quarter — no "soon" badges. Card chrome var(--primary) / var(--amber) / var(--secondary) per column.
+app/forge/trust/page.tsx NEW: canonical Trust Center hub. Consolidates the previous /forge/security content + adds 5 Trust+Credibility ship signals — OssKernelBadge in hero, Public P&L cross-link button, Founder dossier cross-link, SOC2 Type I "in flight Q3 2026" indicator (now also visible as 6th trust signal "Open-source kernel" + 9th badge "Vanta Trust Center"), and dedicated EU Representative (GDPR Art 27 / EU AI Act) section with eurep@kairon.trade placeholder routing. Identical security primitives + Guardian Phase 3 + procurement roadmap as the legacy /forge/security page.
+next.config.ts: /forge/security redirect destination changed from /forge/skill-packs/security-v1 to /forge/trust (permanent 308). The legacy app/forge/security/page.tsx file is retained but unreachable via the redirect — /forge/trust is now canonical for Trust Center content. /forge/skill-packs/security-v1 remains the home for the Security skill pack itself.
+components/forge/OssKernelBadge.tsx NEW + app/api/github/stars/route.ts NEW: open-source kernel badge. Client island fetches /api/github/stars?repo=greymoth-jp/kairon (server-cached 1h) and renders an inline pill with GitHub icon + repo slug + star count + Apache 2.0 license caption + external-link affordance. Handles 404 (renders "Coming soon · Apache 2.0"), 403/429 rate-limit, and unavailable upstream gracefully — never 5xx-s the marketing surface. Mounted on /forge hero (after ForgeHero), /forge/benchmark hero, /forge/trust hero — 3 surfaces total per the Trust ship spec.
+components/Footer.tsx + components/neutral/NeutralFooter.tsx: Resources column extended with Roadmap (/roadmap), Trust Center (/forge/trust), Public P&L (/transparency/financials). Footer + NeutralFooter both updated so the new credibility surfaces are discoverable from every page.
+releases/v0.67.md NEW. npx tsc --noEmit exit code unchanged (31 pre-existing observability errors, zero new from this change). Zero `any`, zero banned glyphs, zero literal hex (all colour via var(--*) tokens — Light/Dark theme compatible). Governance files untouched. Pricing surface NOT modified. Follow-up: monthly P&L admin update tool (defer).

vv0.66.3SECURITY2026-05-21

EU AI Act Art 22 EEA human-review gate + Guardian Phase 3 roadmap on /forge/security + /docs/runtime API shape audit

+lib/legal/isEEA.ts NEW: `isEEAUser(countryCode)` + `EEA_COUNTRIES` (EU 27 + Iceland + Liechtenstein + Norway = 30 jurisdictions). Stateless pure module, safe to import from server components / route handlers / Edge middleware. Closes the R1 BLOCKER from `os/research/compact-api-kernel-refresh-2026-05-21.md` — EU AI Act Article 22 + Annex III require a human-in-the-loop gate on automated financial-impact decisions for EEA-resident users. The set is canonical and re-exported separately from `EU_AI_ACT_JURISDICTIONS` (lib/legal/aiDisclosure.ts) so the call-site intent ("EEA gate for Art 22") stays legible distinct from AI Act Art 50 disclosure. Fail-closed semantics: null / undefined / empty country returns false — Art 22 attaches only when the user is actually in the EEA; absence of a country header is not a presumption.
+tests/legal/isEEA.test.ts NEW: 13 unit tests — EU 27 member (FR / DE), EEA non-EU (NO / IS / LI), explicit non-EEA (US / GB post-Brexit / CH EFTA-not-EEA), null / undefined / empty inputs, case-insensitivity (fr → FR), and a cardinality check that EEA_COUNTRIES.size === 30. All pass on `npx vitest run tests/legal/isEEA.test.ts`.
+app/api/kaironos/approvals/[id]/decide/route.ts: EEA gate wired into the approval decide flow. Imports `detectCountry` from lib/legal/geo + `isEEAUser` from the new helper. After session-auth + decision validation, computes `euUser = isEEAUser(detectCountry(req))` and rejects any decision arriving with `X-Actor-Type: system` or `X-Actor-Type: agent` for EEA users — returns 403 with `{ error: "eu_ai_act_human_review_required", reason, country }`. The session-cookie auth already forces a real user identity; the header check is a defensive second layer against any future internal call that injects an actor-type override. Audit metadata now persists `eu_user`, `country`, `requires_human_review`, `reviewer_id` (= user.id), `decided_at` so the Annex III + Art 14 evidence trail is on the immutable guardian_logs row. Response payload extended with `requires_human_review` + `reviewer_id` + `decided_at` so downstream consumers (Forge dashboard, audit-log export) can persist the same fields.
+app/forge/security/page.tsx: NEW section "Guardian Phase 3 — kernel evolution" between the existing procurement roadmap and the honest-disclosure paragraph. Four Q3 2026 primitive cards sourced from `os/KAIRON_SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE_COMPREHENSIVE.md` §9.2 — (1) Persistent audit DB Rust-backed (services/kairon-guardian/src/bridge/audit_db.rs), (2) gRPC streaming dual-transport (services/kairon-guardian/src/bridge/dual_transport.rs + streaming/sandbox_stream.rs), (3) Skill-pack intel-scope verification (lib/kaironos/packs + intel scope guard), (4) Hardware-key signing (services/kairon-guardian/src/middleware/audit_emit.rs signing extension). Card chrome uses var(--secondary) Forge purple accent at 24%/4% mix so the Phase 3 section reads as kernel evolution and not procurement compliance. Lucide Database / Radio / Package / Cpu icons. Reuses the existing roadmap-card layout language (Newsreader h3, JetBrains Mono source line, target-quarter pill).
+app/docs/runtime/page.tsx: implementation-status banner at the top of the THE 5 ENDPOINTS section. Banner cross-verifies the documented surface against `services/kairon-guardian/src/bridge/rest_server.rs` (the only shipped REST handler set, on :9000). Today Rust REST exposes POST /audit/events + GET /audit/logs + POST /sandbox/execute + GET /health. Of the five Runtime API surfaces in the page only POST /audit/log has a shipped Rust analog — corrected request/response shape to match the live Rust contract (agent_id / input_summary / output_code / context_blueprint request → recorded / is_safe / score / validation_log / snt_payout / event_id response) and flipped its `parallel` flag off so the "backend cycle" badge no longer renders for it. The other four endpoints retain `parallel: true` so the "backend cycle" badge surfaces the forward-dated implementation status. Lucide AlertTriangle var(--amber) banner palette consistent with the existing chrome.
+releases/v0.66.3.md NEW. npx tsc --noEmit exit code unchanged (31 pre-existing `lib/observability/sre-autonomous-*` drift lines, zero new errors from this change — verified via git stash baseline). Zero `any`, zero banned glyphs, zero literal hex (all colour via var(--*) tokens — Light / Dark compatible). Pricing surface NOT modified — PROJECT.md §10 Pro $19 / Pro+ $49 hold per user directive; R4 raise deferred until traction proven (case studies + SOC2 + public intel-graph demo per R2 must-fix list). Governance files untouched. Follow-up cycle: R2 must-fix #1 public intel-graph production demo (DevOps macro-context widget on Forge dashboard).

vv0.66.2FIX2026-05-21

Sliding-window chart — absolute-time X-scale + no polyline transition + Y[0..100] clamp (Featured + PriceChart)

+components/dashboard/FeaturedMarket.tsx: realtime price ticks were causing the PROBABILITY HISTORY chart (Dashboard) to visually shift the past line leftward on every update — root cause: the timeframe filter used `Date.now() - windowSize` as the cutoff which advances every render, the oldest sample intermittently dropped, `filteredRaw.length` mutated, and the index-based X scale (i / (n-1) * chartW) re-tiled every remaining point. Replaced with true sliding-window: new `makeLineAbs(rows, windowStartMs, windowEndMs, chartW, chartH)` helper computes each point's `x = ((t - windowStartMs) / span) * chartW` from its real timestamp. `windowEndMs` is anchored to the data's own latest timestamp (`liveRaw[last].t`), NOT the wall clock — so as long as ticks REPLACE the last point (livePcts → liveRaw last entry), windowEnd is stable, past points' X positions are stable, and only the live tip moves. When future fresh data extends the series, windowEnd advances and past X drifts left by `tickDelta/windowSize * chartW` per tick (sub-pixel for 24h + 5s ticks). Y axis still hard-clamped to [0..100] %, never rescales.
+components/dashboard/FeaturedMarket.tsx: pulse + solid live-endpoint <circle> elements now anchor to `endX` / `expEndX` (the rightmost absolute-time-mapped X), not the SVG's right edge — so when the latest tick sits interior to the window the dot stays glued to its true position. All three endpoint circles (two pulse rings + one solid) get `transition: cx 0.6s ease-out, cy 0.6s ease-out` so the tip slides smoothly to its new position on each tick. CRITICAL: the polyline `points` attribute carries NO transition — past data stays pinned, no animated re-flow of the entire line (this was the prior failed attempt that caused visible X-shift animation on every tick).
+app/market/[id]/PriceChart.tsx: structurally already sound — `liveData` REPLACES the last point (preserves `pts.length`) and Y is hardcoded `(v/100)*H`, so neither X nor Y rescales on realtime updates. Added clarifying header comment documenting the Y-clamp + replace-last + no-polyline-transition invariants, and added `transition: cy 0.6s ease-out` on the live-endpoint <circle> elements (inline + expanded modal, both pulse rings + solid dot) so the tip slides smoothly when the probability changes mid-tick — matches Featured's endpoint polish.
+`releases/v0.66.2.md` NEW. `npx tsc --noEmit` exit 0 for both chart files (27 pre-existing errors in `lib/observability/*` are unrelated to this change — identical count before and after the edit). Zero `any`, zero banned glyphs, zero literal hex (all colour via var(--*) tokens — Light/Dark theme compatible). No new dependencies introduced. No other components modified. Governance files untouched.

vv0.66.1SECURITY2026-05-20

Intrusion Detection System (IDS) - instant-reject probe attempts + IP ban + admin gate hardening

+lib/security/intrusion-detector.ts NEW: pure-pattern matcher. Detects 16 scanner UAs (sqlmap / nmap / nikto / nuclei / wpscan / burp / zap / dirbuster / gobuster / wfuzz / feroxbuster / acunetix / qualys / nessus / openvas / masscan), 33 probe paths (/wp-admin / /.env / /.git / /phpmyadmin / /xmlrpc.php / etc.), URL-decoded path traversal, SQL injection patterns (UNION SELECT / OR 1=1 / SLEEP / BENCHMARK / INFORMATION_SCHEMA), and XSS patterns (<script> / onerror= / javascript: / eval(atob) / etc.) on URL + query string. Whitelist for 18 public crawlers (Googlebot / bingbot / GPTBot / ClaudeBot / PerplexityBot / Twitterbot / etc.) so SEO + AI discoverability is preserved. Whitelist for Kairon team bots (KaironBot/ prefix). Forged-UA attack protection: probe-path detection runs BEFORE public-crawler whitelist so an attacker claiming Googlebot UA + hitting /wp-admin is still banned. Severity ladder: critical (scanner UA / probe path / SQLi) -> 24h ban; high (path traversal / XSS) -> 1h ban; medium -> 15min ban. Edge-safe: no Node fs/dns/net imports (the `@supabase/supabase-js` client pulls them in, so all Supabase calls in lib/security/* use fetch-based PostgREST instead).
+lib/security/ip-ban.ts NEW: in-memory cache (sub-1ms hit) + Supabase-backed persistent store. 5-minute sync interval; cold-start populates from `kairon_ip_bans` via PostgREST `banned_until=gt.<now>` query. Write-through ban: cache updated synchronously, DB upsert fired async (proxy never blocks on audit IO). Idempotent concurrent-sync via shared in-flight promise. Unban path clears cache + deletes DB row. Test hooks (`__clearBanCacheForTests`, `__seedBanCacheForTests`) exported for vitest.
+lib/security/incident-logger.ts NEW: async incident write to `kairon_security_incidents` + optional Discord webhook alert for critical severity. Webhook env var `DISCORD_SECURITY_WEBHOOK_URL` is optional — when unset, alerts degrade to log-only without throwing. All writes are fire-and-forget so the proxy 403 response is never blocked by audit IO. UA + path truncated to 500 chars before persistence.
+proxy.ts: IDS gate inserted as the FIRST action in the middleware (before OPTIONS handler / static-asset skip / CFTC geo-block). Two-step: (1) banned-IP check via `isBanned(idsIp)` returns 403 with `X-Reason: banned` header (no body, no info leak); (2) `detectIntrusion()` pattern match returns 403 with `X-Reason: <signal_type>` header, fires async `banIp()` + `logSecurityIncident()`. Existing 3-layer admin gate (proxy.ts admin_role + MFA + per-route requireAdmin) preserved verbatim — IDS sits in front of it to drop probe traffic before any Supabase round-trip.
+app/admin/security/page.tsx NEW + app/admin/security/SecurityDashboardView.tsx NEW: admin dashboard at /admin/security. Server-component shell renders initial bans + incidents (top 100 each) via `createAdminClient()`. Client view renders two panels — Active IP bans (with manual Unban button) + Recent incidents (read-only, severity-colored: critical=red, high=amber, medium=cyan, low=muted). Lucide-only iconography (Shield / ShieldOff / AlertTriangle / Clock), var(--*) tokens only. Triple-layer admin gate: proxy.ts (Layer 1) + app/admin/layout.tsx (Layer 2, MFA aal2) + this page (Layer 3, requireAdmin via getAdminCaller).
+app/api/admin/security/incidents/route.ts NEW (GET) + app/api/admin/security/bans/route.ts NEW (GET) + app/api/admin/security/ban/route.ts NEW (POST, manual ban) + app/api/admin/security/unban/route.ts NEW (POST, manual unban). All 4 endpoints `requireAdmin()`-gated (not moderator — security actions require full admin). Manual ban duration clamped to 60s ≤ durationMs ≤ 30 days. JSON validation via `unknown` + type-guard pattern (zero `any`).
+app/api/admin/articles/view/route.ts: CLOSED unauthenticated admin-route exposure. Previously the only one of 71 /api/admin/* handlers missing `requireAdmin()` — the view-count incrementer was directly callable without auth. Now gated like the other 70 admin routes. Refactored to use `createAdminClient()` from lib/supabase (was hand-rolling `createClient` with raw env vars). JSON body parsing tightened to reject malformed input with 400.
+supabase/migrations/20260520000002_kairon_ip_bans.sql NEW: applied via `npx supabase db query --linked`. Two tables — `kairon_ip_bans` (ip PRIMARY KEY, banned_until, reason, banned_at, signal_type, request_path, user_agent) + `kairon_security_incidents` (bigserial id, ip, signal_type, pattern, severity CHECK constraint, request_path, user_agent, action_taken, created_at). RLS enabled on both: admin/moderator SELECT via `EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM profiles WHERE id=auth.uid() AND admin_role IN (admin, moderator))`. INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE: no policy = implicit deny for authenticated/anon; service-role bypasses RLS. Indexes: idx_ip_bans_active on (banned_until) — regular B-tree, not partial (Postgres rejects `now()` in WHERE clause as non-IMMUTABLE), idx_security_incidents_(ip|severity|created) for forensic queries. NOTIFY pgrst at end for schema cache reload.
+tests/security/intrusion-detector.test.ts NEW: 34 unit tests across 8 describe blocks — scanner UA (sqlmap / nikto case-insensitive / nuclei / wpscan), probe paths (wp-admin / .env / .git / phpmyadmin / wp-login / forged-Googlebot+probe = still banned), path traversal (raw + %2e%2e double-encoded), SQL injection (UNION SELECT / OR 1=1 / SLEEP), XSS (<script> / onerror= / javascript:), clean requests (homepage / api/auth/login / api/polymarket / /admin), whitelists (Googlebot / KaironBot / scanner-precedence-over-team-bot), malformed URL, severity-to-duration mapping. tests/security/ip-ban.test.ts NEW: 5 tests on cache behavior (cold-start no-Supabase / seeded entry / expired entry eviction / "unknown" sentinel / empty IP).
+npx tsc --noEmit exit 0. npx vitest run tests/security/ exit 0 (57/57 — 18 prior rate-limiter/safe-filters + 39 new). Migration verified applied — both tables visible in information_schema. Zero `any`, zero banned glyphs, zero literal hex (all colour via var(--*) tokens — light/dark theme compatible). Governance files untouched.

vv0.66FIX2026-05-20

Dashboard center KPIs (TOTAL / P&L / GROWTH) -> real Polymarket wallet data + PaperTrade de-emphasized

+components/dashboard/DashboardPortfolioKpiCard.tsx NEW: drop-in replacement for the legacy paper-data-driven `PortfolioPie` at the Dashboard center-right column. Sources TOTAL / P&L / GROWTH numerics from the user's on-chain Polymarket wallet via `useRealPolymarketPortfolio(userId)` (same hook the donut shipped in 48b07c86 reads — exposes positions / totalValue / totalPnl / totalPnlPct / syncedAt / walletConnected). Renders four states: !userId -> "Sign in" CTA, userId + no wallet -> "Link Polymarket Wallet" CTA pointing at /account?tab=portfolio (with TOTAL $0.00 + P&L "—" + GROWTH "—" placeholder tiles so the layout is stable), wallet + 0 positions -> "$0.00" + "No open positions on Polymarket" caption, wallet + positions -> live TOTAL / P&L / GROWTH tiles plus an "N OPEN POSITIONS" badge linking to /portfolio. PaperTrade is preserved as a footer escape hatch ("Try paper trading (practice mode)" link to /trade?paper=true) but de-emphasized — var(--dim) color, 0.52rem font, dashed top border — so it never competes with real-money KPIs for visual priority. Header shows live sync state ("LIVE" / "Ns AGO" / "SYNCING") with a manual REFRESH button.
+components/dashboard/MarketList.tsx: swap legacy `PortfolioPie` -> `DashboardPortfolioKpiCard` at the Dashboard center two-column right rail (sticky position 130 top, flex 0 0 300px). Props expanded to accept `userId: string | null` + `polymarketWallet: string | null` so the KPI card can hit the real-portfolio endpoint with the correct user id and avoid the first-poll flicker via the SSR hint. Legacy `PortfolioPie` import removed — it stays in the repo for `app/user/[id]/ProfileClient.tsx` (own-profile paper portfolio view) but is no longer mounted anywhere on Dashboard.
+app/dashboard/DashboardClient.tsx: thread `userId` (from `useAuth()`) + `polymarketWallet` (server-resolved in app/dashboard/page.tsx -> fetchPolymarketWallet -> profiles.polymarket_wallet) into the `MarketList` call so the new KPI card has the auth context it needs.
+components/dashboard/DashboardPositionsList.tsx: paper-mode header label visually de-emphasized per the 2026-05-20 directive — when source is paper, the chip uses var(--dim) dot (4x4 instead of 6x6), var(--muted) text at 0.55rem with 600 weight and 0.75 opacity, label changed to "Paper · practice mode" (was "Paper positions"). Polymarket-mode chip keeps its 0.65rem 800-weight var(--secondary) chip. Paper functionality preserved verbatim — only the visual weight was lowered so Dashboard never communicates that Paper is a primary product. DemoTrade legacy comments preserved as historical record.
+releases/v0.66.md NEW. npx tsc --noEmit exit 0. Zero `any`, zero banned glyphs, zero literal hex (all colour via var(--*) tokens). Hook 48b07c86 (`hooks/useRealPolymarketPortfolio.ts`) NOT modified — directive constraint. Governance files untouched (os/CLAUDE.md / os/PROJECT.md / os/AGENT_*.md / os/workflow/*.md / parent CLAUDE.md / kairon/AGENTS.md all read-only by Frontend). Wallet-disconnected state correctly renders TOTAL "$0.00" + P&L "—" + GROWTH "—" + "Link Polymarket Wallet" CTA pointing at /account?tab=portfolio per directive acceptance §3. No DemoTrade user-visible UI strings remain on Dashboard.

vv0.65FEATURE2026-05-20

Identity Graph Cycle Iter 5 D-block — /account/identity surface + ProviderLinkCard + 3 API routes + footer wayfinding

+lib/identity-graph/ui/iconResolver.ts NEW: maps the registry `Provider.iconKey` opaque strings to lucide-react components, preserving Iter 1 decoupling (registry never imports from lucide). Lucide recently removed the brand icons (Github / Twitter / Instagram / Linkedin / Youtube) over trademark concerns, so the resolver substitutes semantic Lucide icons (Code / Hash / Camera / Briefcase / Tv) for those iconKey strings — the registry rows in `lib/identity-graph/providers/registry.ts` stay verbatim. Unknown iconKey strings fall back to `Link2`. Whitelist of supported icons is exhaustive within the resolver (no dynamic require), so tree-shaking is preserved and bundle size is bounded.
+components/identity/ProviderLinkCard.tsx NEW: reusable single-provider card. Server-Component-friendly (CSS-class hover via injected `<style>` tag, no onMouseEnter handlers) so it can be composed inside RSC trees without forcing a `'use client'` boundary. Five verification status visuals — `unverified` (var(--muted) + "Link" CTA) / `pending` (var(--cyan) + "Resume" CTA) / `verified` (var(--primary) + Lucide CheckCircle2 + "Unlink" CTA + verified-at date) / `expired` (var(--amber) + "Re-verify" CTA) / `failed` (var(--red) + "Try again" CTA). When `provider.active === false` the CTA becomes "Coming soon" and the button is disabled so registry entries with verification pending remain visible without misleading the user. Chrome: var(--surface) background + var(--border-strong) border + 16px padding + 10px border-radius. Icon resolved via iconResolver, sized 16px, wrapped in 32x32 var(--surface-top) chip. Handle rendered in JetBrains Mono var(--muted) 0.72rem; provider.domain falls back when no handle is set.
+components/identity/IdentityLinkagesList.tsx NEW (client island, `'use client'`): fetches `/api/identity/linkages` on mount, renders one ProviderLinkCard per linkage in a `grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(260px, 1fr))` responsive grid. Provides three flows — (1) Refresh button re-fetches without a page reload, (2) "Add provider" picker (filtered via `allowedProvidersFor('user')` from Iter 2 capability-map, additionally filtered to active providers + linkages the user has not yet created so the list narrows as linkages accrue) drives `POST /api/identity/verify/start` with a handle input + an optional method override, (3) on a returned challenge the pending verification card surfaces the challenge_url + challenge_token + a proof-payload input; submitting it POSTs to `/api/identity/verify/complete` and re-fetches the linkages. All API errors land in a Lucide-AlertCircle var(--red) banner above the grid. The unlink action displays an informational message redirecting users to support — DELETE endpoint deferred to Iter 6+.
+app/(neutral)/account/identity/page.tsx NEW: Server Component shell for `/account/identity`. Mounted under the `(neutral)` route group so it picks up `NeutralHeader` + `NeutralFooter` chrome via the existing path-prefix match in `components/HeaderSwitcher` / `components/ShellGate`. Three sections — "Manage linkages" (renders the client island IdentityLinkagesList), "Why link providers?" (3-bullet domain-neutral copy: social proof / verification / trust graph — uses "creators, analysts, communities" language, NO music-specific terms so the page is reusable by future entity types without rework), "Privacy" (DPO-safe disclosure that linkages are stored per-account, never sold, no OAuth refresh tokens stored + links to /privacy and /legal/do-not-sell). H1 Newsreader 1.7-2.4rem clamp + var(--text), body Inter var(--muted) + line-height 1.65, all surface chrome via var(--*) tokens — zero literal hex. Icons Lucide-only (ShieldCheck / Users / Cookie).
+app/api/identity/linkages/route.ts NEW (GET): returns the current user's linkages slimmed to `{ provider_id, handle, status, verified_at }` per row. Auth via Supabase session (sb-* httpOnly cookies via `createSessionClient()`) — unauthed -> `401 { error: "unauthorized" }`. Internal errors -> 500 with `error.message`. `dynamic = 'force-dynamic'` ensures Next.js does not pre-render or cache. RLS in the underlying repository (Iter 4) is the structural enforcement layer; the API just adds a friendly response shape.
+app/api/identity/verify/start/route.ts NEW (POST): body `{ provider_id, handle, method? }`. Validates that `PROVIDERS[provider_id]` exists, that `isLinkageAllowed('user', provider_id)` (Iter 2 capability-map), and that the provider is `active`. Optional `method` is validated against the four allowed VerificationMethods (`oauth` / `post-code` / `dns-txt` / `wallet-sign`); if omitted, `preferredMethodFor(provider_id)` resolves the strongest method the provider supports. Calls `startVerification()` to generate the challenge, `insertChallenge()` to persist, returns `{ challenge_id, challenge_url, challenge_token, expires_at }`. Auth + content-type errors return 400 / 401 with stable error strings the client can branch on.
+app/api/identity/verify/complete/route.ts NEW (POST): body `{ challenge_id, proofPayload }`. Fetches the challenge by id; returns 404 if missing, 403 if `row.entity_id !== user.id` (ownership enforcement), 409 if the challenge is no longer `pending`. Reconstructs the in-memory `VerificationChallenge` shape and dispatches to `completeVerification()` (verifier orchestrator from Iter 3). On `result.status === 'verified'`, upserts the linkage with `proof_url` + `verified_at` and calls `markChallengeResolved()`. Returns the result shape (`status`, `verified_at`, `proof_url`, `error_reason`) so the client can branch on outcome.
+components/Footer.tsx + components/neutral/NeutralFooter.tsx: footer wayfinding for the new surface. Footer.tsx Legal column gains an `Identity linkages` -> `/account/identity` row between About and Contact. NeutralFooter.tsx Company column gains the same row between Help and Contact. ForgeFooter.tsx + MediaFooter NOT touched (Forge has its own future identity surface scoped to `kairon_os_team_identity`; Media surface scoped to editorial only). Discoverability rule satisfied — even unauthed users can click the link and land on the page (which surfaces the 401 from the API in the client island error banner so the auth gate is communicated, not silent).

R2 GDPR must-fix — Vercel Analytics consent gate + granted_at/policy_version audit trail + equal-prominence consent buttons

+components/analytics/AnalyticsGate.tsx NEW + app/layout.tsx wired: `<Analytics />` from `@vercel/analytics/react` was previously mounted unconditionally in the root layout, so the script loaded before the user recorded a consent decision — a direct EU ePrivacy violation. The mount is now wrapped in a client island that reads `kairon_cookie_consent_v2` from localStorage on the client, checks `navigator.globalPrivacyControl === true`, and only renders `<Analytics />` when `consent.analytics === true`. The island listens for the new `kairon:cookie-consent` CustomEvent (dispatched by `writeConsent()` + `CookieManageButton`) plus the cross-tab `storage` event so consent toggles unmount the script immediately without a page reload. SpeedInsights is preserved as-is (essential perf telemetry, no PII).
+lib/legal/cookieConsent.ts: ConsentRecord schema bumped to v2 — adds `granted_at` (ISO 8601, mirror of `decidedAt` aliased to the GDPR-conventional field name so downstream auditors / regulator inquiries can grep a stable name) and `policy_version` (semver string `"1.0.0"`, exported as `POLICY_VERSION` constant — bumped when the cookie policy text materially changes so existing consent records become stale and re-prompt). localStorage key migrated from `kairon_cookie_consent_v1` -> `kairon_cookie_consent_v2`. `readConsent()` now clears any legacy v1 record on read (per ePrivacy opt-in posture, an opaque legacy payload cannot be treated as informed consent to analytics — re-consent is the only safe migration) and returns null when `policy_version !== POLICY_VERSION`. `writeConsent()` now dispatches `kairon:cookie-consent` on window so AnalyticsGate + other consent-gated islands re-evaluate without reload. New `CONSENT_CHANGE_EVENT` + `LEGACY_STORAGE_KEY_V1` exports.
+components/legal/CookieConsentBanner.tsx: Accept All / Essential Only button equalized per CNIL dark-patterns rule. Accept All previously had `border: 'none'` + `fontWeight: 800` while Essential Only carried `border: '1px solid var(--border-strong)'` + the inherited `fontWeight: 700`. The visual-weight differential nudged users toward Accept — CNIL guidance treats this as a dark pattern. Both buttons now share identical padding (7px 14px), font-size (0.7rem), font-weight (700), border-radius (8), and 1px border thickness. Only the color differs: Accept uses `var(--primary)` background with a 1px `var(--primary)` border so its width matches Essential Only; Essential Only uses transparent background with a 1px `var(--border-strong)` border. Colour-only differentiation is the maximum CNIL allows.
+components/CookieManageButton.tsx: refactored to import STORAGE_KEY + LEGACY_STORAGE_KEY_V1 + CONSENT_CHANGE_EVENT from `lib/legal/cookieConsent` (was hardcoded to v1 string before, would have desynced from the schema bump). Reset now clears both v1 + v2 keys + dispatches `kairon:cookie-consent` so AnalyticsGate + the banner unmount together.
+tests/legal/cookieConsent.test.ts: upgraded all assertions to v2 schema (`version: 2`, `granted_at`, `policy_version`). New test asserts that stale `policy_version` ("0.0.0") forces re-prompt. installWindowShim() gained a `dispatchEvent` noop + a CustomEvent shim so writeConsent() runs in the node test environment. All 18 tests pass.
+npx tsc --noEmit exit 0. Zero `any`, zero banned glyphs / emoji, zero literal hex (all colour via var(--*) tokens).

Unified contact emails + CCPA Do-Not-Sell page + Cookie policy page + GPC support (site-wide)

+lib/config/contact-emails.ts NEW: single source of truth for the six canonical Kairon contact addresses (hello@ general support, press@ journalist, security@ coordinated disclosure, dpo@ GDPR DPO + CCPA + legal alias, api@ Intel API + Forge SDK support, editorial@ Kairon Media submissions). Typed `mailto(key, subject?)` helper composes subject-prefilled mailto: URLs so call-sites do not drift literal email strings across the codebase. All entries are `as const` with `ContactEmailKey` derived via `keyof typeof CONTACT_EMAILS` — zero `any`, narrow literal unions only.
+app/legal/do-not-sell/page.tsx NEW: CCPA / CPRA "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" page (server component, static, canonical https://kairon.trade/legal/do-not-sell). Five sections — (1) what Kairon collects (email + Supabase session + hash-bucketed analytics + Stripe billing, no PII sold), (2) the statutory sale/share definition under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140 + CPRA, (3) consumer rights (opt-out, deletion, access, correction, sensitive-info limit, non-retaliation), (4) three equally valid opt-out methods (email dpo@ with subject-prefilled mailto, the /legal/cookies preference center, the Global Privacy Control browser signal), (5) DPO contact card with fallback hello@ for non-privacy inquiries. Lucide-only iconography (ShieldCheck / Mail / Cookie / XCircle / Globe / ListChecks) and var(--*) tokens only — no literal hex.
+app/legal/cookies/page.tsx NEW + components/CookieManageButton.tsx NEW (client island): three-category cookie policy (strictly necessary / functional / analytics) with lawful basis + description + concrete cookie examples for each. The reset button clears `kairon_cookie_consent_v1` from localStorage and dispatches a `kairon:cookie-consent-reset` CustomEvent so the existing consent banner re-prompts on the next eligible page load without requiring a hard refresh. DPO contact + GPC explainer block at the bottom.
+components/legal/CookieConsentBanner.tsx: recognizes the Global Privacy Control browser signal — when `navigator.globalPrivacyControl === true` (Firefox / Brave / DuckDuckGo / privacy-forward browsers) the banner auto-persists an essential-only consent record and suppresses the prompt rather than presenting a redundant overlay, per California AG enforcement guidance + CPRA. Also listens for the `kairon:cookie-consent-reset` event dispatched by /legal/cookies so the Reset button re-evaluates visibility without a page reload. The existing EU 27 + EEA 3 + UK PECR geo gating preserved verbatim.
+components/Footer.tsx + components/ForgeFooter.tsx + components/neutral/NeutralFooter.tsx + app/media/_components/MediaFooter.tsx: Legal column gains Cookies + Do Not Sell entries on all four footers. Contact entries on consumer + neutral footers now resolve via mailto('hello') so the unified hello@ inbox replaces the previous support@ alias. ForgeFooter additionally surfaces mailto('api') as an "API support" link under the Intelligence column for Intel API / Forge SDK users. Editorial@ preserved verbatim on Media footer.
+app/forge/security/page.tsx: Contact card body adds a dpo@kairon.trade reference for GDPR / CCPA privacy inquiries alongside the existing security@ coordinated-disclosure channel. 24-hour disclosure SLA + 2-business-day response SLA preserved verbatim. Lucide chrome unchanged.
+Site-wide swap of mailto:support@kairon.trade -> mailto:hello@kairon.trade across 12 files: app/banned/BannedClient.tsx, app/faq/FaqPageClient.tsx, app/help/HelpClient.tsx, app/forge/faq/FaqPageClient.tsx, app/(neutral)/refunds/page.tsx, app/(neutral)/about/page.tsx, app/(neutral)/privacy/page.tsx, app/legal/au-consumer-rights/page.tsx, app/legal/ca-privacy-rights/page.tsx, app/legal/uk-ccr-notice/page.tsx, app/legal/eu-withdrawal-notice/page.tsx, app/legal/disclosure/page.tsx. Historical changelog entries in app/(neutral)/updates/page.tsx referencing the old support@ alias were preserved as historical record. security@ / editorial@ / dpo@ references preserved verbatim everywhere they appeared (per spec).

API Kernel Diff Cycle Iter 6 — C1 /forge/security reframe (commodity-as-table-stakes + benchmark cross-link)

+app/forge/security/page.tsx: hero H1 rewritten from "Kairon Forge Security" to "Kairon Forge meets the enterprise-grade baseline." (Newsreader 2.2-2.8rem clamp, var(--text), maxWidth 720). Hero subtitle reframed from positioning tamper-evident audit logs / sandboxed execution / human approval gates as Kairon-unique deliverables ("built into the kernel") to acknowledging them as "table-stakes hygiene any serious agent runtime ships" with an explicit framing that the page exists for procurement-reviewer verification rather than differentiation. Inline /forge/benchmark link added at the end of the hero subtitle paragraph (var(--secondary) underline) redirecting moat-evaluation traffic. Trust Center eyebrow + Last reviewed + Security contact + Enterprise architecture wayfinding links all preserved.
+app/forge/security/page.tsx: "What ships today" section intro paragraph rewritten — prefixed with "Standard enterprise hygiene primitives — we publish ours for transparency, not as a unique differentiator." Body still acknowledges that every claim references a specific file in the open-source kernel or named admin surface (so nothing is aspirational) but now closes with "Cursor, Copilot, Cline, and every serious agent runtime ship the same categories." matching the Iter 5 homepage commodity-demote language exactly. The 5 SHIPPED_PRIMITIVES cards themselves (tamper-evident audit log + WASM sandbox + triple-layer admin gate + API token sha256 storage + per-RPC OpenTelemetry tracing) preserved verbatim — only the wrapper paragraph was reframed.
+app/forge/security/page.tsx: NEW "Where we ARE differentiated" callout section inserted between the trust signals row (TRUST_BADGES grid) and the "What ships today" section (SHIPPED_PRIMITIVES). var(--primary)-accented card chrome (28% color-mix border + 5% color-mix background tint over var(--glow-card) + var(--glow-card-shadow)) with Lucide Beaker icon eyebrow "WHERE WE ARE DIFFERENTIATED" in var(--primary) 0.62rem/0.14em letter-spacing matching the Iter 5 homepage HONEST MOAT eyebrow style. H2 "Two layers competitors cannot replicate in under twelve months." (Newsreader 1.25rem, letter-spacing -0.02em). Body paragraph (0.88rem var(--muted), maxWidth 720) acknowledges that the controls on this page are "necessary, not sufficient" and lists the 2 defensible layers (multi-year intel graph + 6-hook deterministic inference router) explicitly with citations to the published benchmarks "including the cases where we lose". CTA pill "Read the honest moat audit" (8x14 padding, color-mix 32% var(--primary) border + 10% var(--primary) tint background, var(--primary) text, Lucide ArrowRight 14px) routing to /forge/benchmark. Beaker added to lucide-react import alongside existing 16 icons.
+app/forge/security/page.tsx: NEW honest disclosure block (italic 0.74rem var(--muted), maxWidth 760, line-height 1.6) inserted above the Footer/Contact card. Text: "Replay-from-checkpoint, native sandbox, RBAC/MFA, rate limiting, and OpenAPI generation are commodity B2B hygiene that any team can ship. Read our honest moat audit for what makes Kairon Forge genuinely different." with "honest moat audit" rendered as a var(--secondary) underlined Link to /forge/benchmark. Per CLAUDE.md §Token-Saving Default + PROJECT.md §2 Design Harmony — the disclosure uses subdued typography (italic + var(--muted) + smaller font-size) so it acknowledges commodity status without overwhelming the page chrome, mirroring the Iter 5 homepage "table-stakes" block typography approach.
+app/forge/security/page.tsx: Footer/Contact card body copy updated — "For a security questionnaire" expanded to "For a security questionnaire (SIG / CAIQ table-stakes enterprise reassurance)" so the inbound-questionnaire response template (shipped in v0.63.3 / Iter 6 close-out at os/marketing/knowledge-base/security-questionnaire-responses.md) is now framed as necessary-not-sufficient enterprise reassurance rather than as a differentiation surface. 24h coordinated-disclosure SLA + 2-business-day response SLA + security@kairon.trade contact + Contact security CTA all preserved verbatim. STRIDE threat model + OWASP LLM01-10 mapping references in the ROADMAP array kept intact (Q3 2026 target quarters) — both are still "In flight" with no implication that they are uniquely Kairon. All 6 ROADMAP items (SOC2 Type I / Vanta / STRIDE / pen test / HackerOne / SOC2 Type II) preserved with target quarters and detail paragraphs verbatim.

API Kernel Diff Cycle Iter 5 — A5 /forge homepage repositioning (intel-graph + router lead, commodity-as-table-stakes)

+components/forge/ForgeHero.tsx: hero rewritten to lead with the honest moat. New canonical H1 "The only AI agent OS that ships pre-loaded with multi-year prediction-market intelligence." (Newsreader 2.4-4rem clamp, var(--text), maxWidth 880px) over a single-line subtitle "Open benchmarks. Honest about where we win — and where we don't." (var(--muted) 1.1rem). The prior A/B-controlled variant headlines ("Agents with priors, not guesses." / "The agent OS shipped with a market in its memory.") have been collapsed into the canonical line — variantKey analytics token is preserved for funnel attribution but the headline copy is now identical across A/B since both prior variants were evolutions of the same claim. New cyan secondary CTA "See the benchmarks" with Lucide Beaker + ArrowRight icons (border var(--cyan) 40% color-mix, text var(--cyan)) linking directly to /forge/benchmark from the hero — inserted between the primary "Try in 2 minutes" CTA and the existing "Sign up free" CTA. Beaker added to lucide-react import. Unused VARIANT_MAP import removed (only Variant type still in use).
+app/forge/page.tsx: NEW Scene 1c "Honest moat positioning" section inserted between ForgeQuickAccess (Scene 1b) and the end-to-end loop (Scene 2). Eyebrow "HONEST MOAT · WHERE WE ACTUALLY WIN" in var(--secondary) purple with Beaker icon. H2 "Two defensible layers. Seven table-stakes." (muted span on second clause). Sub-line acknowledges the R3-audited 2/9 verdict ("We audited every claim in our pitch deck. Two layers are genuinely hard for competitors to replicate in under twelve months. Seven are commodity B2B hygiene that ship in every serious agent runtime. We say so out loud."). Two large emphasized cards in a responsive auto-fit grid (minmax 360px): Card 1 "LAYER 1 · INTEL GRAPH" var(--secondary)-accented with Lucide Database — "Multi-year prediction-market intelligence, pre-loaded." body cites Polymarket priors + whale-wallet patterns + news embeddings + calibration curves; footer in JetBrains Mono "Replication cost: ~12-18 months of market data + calibration backtests." Card 2 "LAYER 2 · 6-HOOK ROUTER" var(--primary)-accented with Lucide Cpu — "Deterministic inference routing across six signals." body cites the regime/anomaly/decay/persona/panic/viability hook composition + Bench #3 100% audit-replay determinism + Bench #2 80% Pro cost reduction; footer in JetBrains Mono "Replication cost: hook composition + per-regime tuning + audit harness." Both cards use var(--glow-card) chrome + var(--glow-card-shadow) + var(--glow-card-sheen) matching existing Trust Center / Benchmark Board cards. Database + Cpu added to lucide-react import.
+app/forge/page.tsx: Same Scene 1c section ends with a demoted "TABLE STAKES · COMMODITY (we ship them, so does everyone else)" block in var(--surface) with var(--border). Subdued eyebrow in var(--muted). 7-item list (replay-from-checkpoint / native sandbox isolation / audit logs / RBAC / MFA / rate limiting / API versioning / OpenAPI generation) rendered as a responsive auto-fit grid (minmax 220px) of unbulleted JetBrains-Mono items in var(--muted) 0.82rem. Footer paragraph in var(--muted) 0.78rem: "These matter — they just don't differentiate us. Cursor, Copilot, Cline, and every serious agent runtime ships the same. Read our honest moat audit: /forge/benchmark." with the path rendered as a var(--secondary) JetBrains-Mono link. NO commodity claim deleted from the page — they are demoted in narrative emphasis, not removed.
+app/forge/page.tsx: existing Scene 7a-ter Benchmark Board cross-link card (Iter 3) retained — the hero CTA, the new positioning section footer, AND the existing benchmark cross-link card together give /forge/benchmark three discoverable surfaces on the homepage. No existing functional surface modified (Enterprise CTA, Security Trust Center cross-link, Live Funnel anchor, FAQ link, Intel API cross-link, pricing tiles, signup CTA, JSON-LD SoftwareApplication block all untouched). Sitemap (Iter 3 already wired /forge/benchmark) confirmed present. Consumer / homepage NOT modified — it has no existing Forge mention block to inline a benchmark link into (Forge appears only in source code comments + as an audience switcher destination), so per Iter 5 spec the cross-link from consumer landing was skipped to avoid introducing new Forge presence on the consumer surface (separate strategy decision).

API Kernel Diff Cycle Iter 4 — A3 Bench #2 cost-per-task 4-tier matrix (30 scenarios, bootstrap 95% CI, 80% Pro savings + Elite not-Pareto negative result)

+scripts/bench-cost-per-task.ts NEW (v0.1, runnable via `npx tsx scripts/bench-cost-per-task.ts`): public benchmark harness for the cost-per-task tier matrix — 4 tiers (Kairon Free / Kairon Pro / Kairon Elite / Naive always-Sonnet) on a deterministic 30-scenario corpus balanced across 5 regime profiles (6 whale_dominant + 6 meme_volatile + 6 macro_anchored + 6 panic_liquidation + 6 dead_liquidity). Routing logic mirrors lib/inference/router.ts deterministic cost gates (dead-liquidity short-circuit to Tier-1, anomaly_score >= 0.55 forces Tier-2, otherwise Tier-1 settle) — Free always Ollama $0, Pro Tier-2 hits Haiku, Elite Tier-2 hits Sonnet, Naive ignores router. Per-tier cost: median + 1000-iteration nonparametric bootstrap 95% CI seeded for reproducibility (mulberry32, seed 0xC057). NO REAL ANTHROPIC API CALLS — price-catalog estimates only (Anthropic 2026-05 list prices: Haiku $1/M input + $5/M output, Sonnet $3/M input + $15/M output; fixed 800-input / 300-output token assumption per inference). Six named exports: mulberry32 / generateScenarioCorpus / decideRoute / costForTier / median+mean+sum / bootstrapMedianCI, plus the higher-level runBench. Throws when corpus.length < 30 to enforce A3 acceptance threshold. Direct invocation writes cost-per-task-<date>.{json,csv} + cost-per-task-latest.{json,csv} to public/bench-results/.

Kairon Pro median $0.0023 / mean $0.0014 / 18 paid calls (Tier-1 settle covers 12/30 scenarios at $0 via the deterministic router; Tier-2 escalates to Haiku only on anomalies). Kairon Elite median $0.0069 / mean $0.0041 / 18 paid calls (Tier-1 free, Tier-2 Sonnet). Naive always-Sonnet median $0.0069 / mean $0.0069 / 30 paid calls (all paid). Pro mean cost reduction vs naive: 80%. **Honest negative result (Rule B Mandatory)**: Kairon Elite is NOT a Pareto improvement over the naive baseline — anomaly-forced Tier-2 escalation hits Sonnet on the same regimes where naive already hits Sonnet, so Elite gives up the Tier-1 free path on the markets that matter most (whale_dominant ratio Elite/naive = 1.00x — they tie). Elite trades cost for ACCURACY on rare-and-important markets, not for cost savings. Pro is the genuine cost-arbitrage tier (Haiku Tier-2 escalation rather than Sonnet). Negative_result field carries this verdict verbatim in the JSON so /forge/benchmark renders it without paraphrasing.

API Kernel Diff Cycle Iter 2 — A4 Bench #3 Audit replay determinism (pure router 100% + seeded LLM stub 100% + free-temp 10% negative control, Wilson 95% CI)

+scripts/bench-audit-determinism.ts NEW (v0.1, runnable via `npx tsx scripts/bench-audit-determinism.ts > public/bench-results/audit-determinism-latest.json`): public benchmark harness for audit-replay determinism — the load-bearing property behind the Kairon Guardian tamper-evident audit chain (services/kairon-guardian/). Methodology: 100 simulated agent decision events (seeded inputs mirroring lib/inference/router.ts RouteRequest shape — liquidity + midpoint_pct + anomaly_score + hours_to_resolution + persona + prompt_token), each replayed 10 times across three inference paths and byte-equality-compared against the first replay. Sub-test A (pure_router) runs deterministic regime + decay + persona arithmetic with NO LLM call (mirrors Tier-1 settle path in lib/inference/router.ts). Sub-test B (seeded_llm_stub) runs a deterministic LLM stub with a PINNED inference seed (the temperature=0 + provider-seeded inference model). Sub-test C (free_temp_control) runs the same LLM stub but RE-RANDOMISES the inference seed per replay (the negative control — temperature>0 unseeded). Wilson 95% CI on the (100 x 10 = 1000 trial) binomial sample for each sub-test. mulberry32 PRNG with BENCH_SEED=0xA0D17EE drives every random choice so the entire bench is reproducible to the last decimal. Six named exports for re-use + unit testing: mulberry32 / generateDecisionCorpus / purelyDeterministicReplay / seededLlmStubReplay / freeTempStubReplay / wilsonCI, plus the higher-level runBench harness. Throws when corpus.length < 100 to enforce A4 acceptance threshold. DOES NOT call real Anthropic API — uses calibrated stubs only (per Iter 2 spec to prevent paid-API spend during bench validation).
+public/bench-results/audit-determinism-latest.json NEW + public/bench-results/audit-determinism-2026-05-20.json NEW (committed snapshot for /forge/benchmark page to read without re-running the harness on every request): n_decisions=100, n_replays_per_decision=10, pure_router determinism_rate=1.000 [Wilson 95% CI 0.996, 1.000] — confirming the deterministic backbone of lib/inference/router.ts is byte-replayable across the regime + anomaly + decay + persona deterministic colorant stack; seeded_llm_stub determinism_rate=1.000 [CI 0.996, 1.000] — modelling the temperature=0 + provider-seeded inference upper bound; free_temp_control determinism_rate=0.100 [CI 0.082, 0.121] — the NEGATIVE result. **Honest negative result (Rule B Mandatory)**: free-temp control at 10% determinism is the cycle-mandated published number we WOULD NOT brag about (most user-facing LLM calls today still run free-temp by default in production). The negative result serves a structural purpose: it proves the harness DOES detect non-determinism when it exists, ruling out the silent-bug failure mode where pure_router 100% would otherwise be an unfalsifiable claim. The negative_result field carries this verdict verbatim in the JSON so /forge/benchmark renders it without paraphrasing.

API Kernel Diff Cycle Iter 1 — A2 Bench #1 Calibration Brier vs Polymarket midpoint (n=30 stub + bootstrap 95% CI + honest negative result)

+scripts/bench-calibration-brier.ts NEW (v0.1, runnable via `npx tsx scripts/bench-calibration-brier.ts`): public benchmark harness for the intel-graph moat layer. Methodology: leave-one-out evaluation across n=30 resolved markets (v0.1 uses a deterministic seeded stub corpus that mimics favourite-longshot bias documented in the Polymarket research literature — clearly labelled `sample_kind: "stub_v0_1"`; real-market backfill replaces the stub once Polymarket resolved-market corpus reaches threshold, target Q3 2026). For each held-out sample the harness builds a calibration curve from the other N-1 markets via lib/poly/calibration.ts buildCalibrationCurve, then calibrateProbability is invoked on the held-out midpoint and compared against two competing estimators (raw Polymarket midpoint + constant 0.5 random baseline). Brier = mean of (p-a)^2 with p,a in [0,1]. 95% CI is a 1000-iteration nonparametric bootstrap with replacement, deterministically seeded (mulberry32, seed 0xC0FFEE) — a second invocation on the same machine reproduces every number to the last decimal place. Three named exports for re-use + unit testing: brierForPair, bootstrapCI, generateStubCorpus, plus the higher-level runBench harness. Throws when corpus.length < 30 to enforce Rule C reproducibility threshold. Optional `KAIRON_BENCH_SOURCE=polymarket_resolved` env loads a hand-curated JSONL corpus from public/bench-results/calibration-brier-corpus.jsonl when real-market data ships.

This is published as-is per the cycle Rule B (Honesty Mandatory): bench numbers ship regardless of which estimator wins; we do not cherry-pick. Follow-up tracks: enlarge the resolved-market corpus from 30 → 300+, narrow bucket width in the extreme-probability tails (current 10x10pp grid), or add per-category curves (politics / sports / crypto each have distinct bias profiles).

Every answer is truthful per Rule B (no over-promise); roadmap items cite their target quarter; every response cites the relevant /forge/security/* page so reviewers can verify independently. Usage-notes footer mandates escalation to Backend.audit for material-different questions before paraphrasing a near-match. Closes Iter 5 Opus Eval Gap C3 (+5 pts) — auto-respond ready for inbound questionnaires; eliminates the "compose a fresh response each time" toil and removes the over-promise risk surface that comes with ad-hoc replies.
+Lighthouse SEO audit (Gap D2): attempted lighthouse v13.2.0 against https://kairon.trade/forge/security (production), score 0.63 — failing on is-crawlable (production redirects /forge/security to legacy /forge/skill-packs/security-v1 which carries <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />). The new Trust Center page exists locally + on this branch but is not yet on production; production is still pointing at the pre-Iter-1 redirect. Verifying that the local /forge/security yields a clean SEO score requires either (a) pushing this branch + a Vercel preview deploy then re-running lighthouse against the preview URL, or (b) a manual user action against a local dev server. Both are external to the Iter 6 close-out scope. Score stays at 5/10 for D component; the Trust Center pages themselves carry canonical + reciprocal hreflang en/ja/ko + x-default + openGraph + twitter card + JSON-LD (WebPage / FAQPage / TechArticle / BlogPosting ItemList) so the underlying SEO surface is well-formed — only the production redirect is blocking the audit.
+Internal raw score: 52 → 67 (B3 +10 + C3 +5 + D2 unchanged at 5/10). Within the 67-72/100 internal ceiling band declared by the Iter 5 Opus Eval.

Poly Algo Iter 18 — Persona wired into router (4th routing colorant: regime + anomaly + decay + persona)

+lib/inference/router.ts: personaContext?: { persona: Persona; baseConfidence: number; context?: PersonaOverlayContext } optional field added to RouteRequest. RouteResult extended with personaAdjustedConfidence?: number / personaRationale?: string / persona?: Persona. New PERSONA_LOW_CONFIDENCE_FLOOR = 0.3 named export (mirrors the Iter 16 DECAY_LOW_CONFIDENCE_FLOOR shape). Hook fires in routeInner AFTER the Iter-12 regime short-circuit + Iter-14 anomaly hook + Iter-16 decay hook but BEFORE the complexity classifier so the persona-adjusted-confidence verdict applies uniformly across budget gating, EIG/cost gate, viability filter, and Tier-2 paid dispatch decisions. Persona is the FOURTH deterministic colorant on the routing stack — parallel to regime (short-circuit) + anomaly (forces Tier-2) + decay (informational + low-confidence floor). When personaContext supplied AND baseConfidence > 0: applyPersonaOverlay(baseConfidence, persona, context) runs → result annotated onto every relevant return path via a new personaFields() private helper. Routing-decision effect: when personaAdjustedConfidence < 0.3 AND !forceTier2 AND !forceTier1FromDecay → flag forceTier1FromPersona = true which suppresses Tier-2 escalation in the same way as the decay floor. The Tier-1 settle gate extends from !escalationRequested || !escalationAllowed || forceTier1FromDecay to also include || forceTier1FromPersona — either decay OR persona dipping below their respective floor triggers Tier-1 settle (additive: both at once is just an extra-confident reason for the same decision). Anomaly's forceTier2 STILL wins over persona suppression (rare-and-important > personality). Precedence locked: regime > anomaly > decay >= persona. personaFields() helper spreads the three annotation fields onto every relevant return path (Tier-1 settle / panic-mode Tier-1 collapse / EIG-skip Tier-1 collapse / Anthropic-null Tier-1 collapse / Tier-2 paid success / localFallback). applyPersonaOverlay + Persona + PersonaOverlayContext + PersonaOverlayResult types imported from @/lib/poly/persona (Iter 17 pure-math). No `any`; deterministic + replayable; existing callers preserve pre-Iter-18 behaviour exactly when personaContext is omitted (zero regression).
+4-case extension to tests/inference/router.test.ts (new Iter 18 describe block): (1) panic_seller + anomaly context (h=12, anomalyDetected) → 0.8 × 0.5 × (1 − 0.20 − 0.15) = 0.26 < 0.3 → forced Tier-1 settle with Sonnet mock NOT invoked despite shouldEscalate=true + complexityOverride="rare_hard"; result carries persona="panic_seller" / personaAdjustedConfidence < 0.3 / personaRationale containing "panic_seller". (2) calibrated_researcher + macro_anchored regime + h=720 (far horizon) → 0.6 × 0.85 × 1.15 = 0.5865 ≥ 0.3 → Tier-2 dispatch proceeds, result annotated with persona="calibrated_researcher" / personaAdjustedConfidence ≥ 0.3. (3) personaContext absent → no-op (all three persona fields undefined; Tier-1 unchanged from baseline — zero regression confirmation). (4) decay low (h=336, base=0.4 → decayed=0.1 < 0.3) AND persona low (panic_seller, base=0.7, anomalyDetected → 0.7 × 0.5 × 0.8 = 0.28 < 0.3) BOTH below floor → Tier-1 forced (either trigger suffices); both annotations ship; Sonnet mock NOT invoked.

PersonaPriors 4-axis bundle (baseConfidence ∈ [0,1] / riskTolerance ∈ [0,1] / shortHorizonBias ∈ [-1,1] / contrarianTilt ∈ [-1,1]). Spec-aligned priors: calibrated_researcher (0.85/0.4/-0.3/0 — highest base, mild long-horizon, no consensus tilt), whale_mimic (0.7/0.7/0/-0.5 — aggressive, follows consensus), panic_seller (0.5/0.2/0.6/0 — lowest base, short-horizon, risk-averse), momentum_trader (0.65/0.8/0.5/0 — aggressive, short-horizon biased), contrarian (0.6/0.7/-0.2/0.8 — fades consensus, slight long-horizon). Public API: getPersonaPriors(persona) returns a defensive copy of the canonical table; applyPersonaOverlay(baseConfidence, persona, context?) returns {persona, adjustedConfidence, rationale}. Overlay math: adjusted = clamp(baseConfidence * personaPriors.baseConfidence * (1 + sum(context deltas)), 0, 1). Context-keyed modifiers: calibrated_researcher rewards macro_anchored+h>168 (+0.15) and penalizes anomalyDetected (-0.10); whale_mimic rewards whale_dominant+anomaly (+0.25) and penalizes dead_liquidity (-0.20); panic_seller penalizes h<24 (-0.15) and anomalyDetected (-0.20); momentum_trader rewards h<72 (+0.20) and meme_volatile (+0.10); contrarian rewards base<0.5 (+0.20, fires WITHOUT context) and dead_liquidity+anomaly (+0.15). 3 named constants exported (PERSONA_CONFIDENCE_FLOOR=0, PERSONA_CONFIDENCE_CEILING=1, PERSONA_CONTEXT_MODIFIER_DEFAULT=1.0). Defensive clamps: NaN/Infinity/negative baseConfidence → 0 (floored); baseConfidence>1 clamped to 1; NaN hoursToResolution does not trip near/far-horizon gates; context omitted → contextModifier=1.0 (just base scaling).

Poly Algo Iter 16 — time-decay wired into router (informational; low-confidence forces Tier-1)

+lib/inference/router.ts: decayContext?: { hoursToResolution: number; baseConfidence: number; halfLifeHours?: number } optional field added to RouteRequest. RouteResult extended with decayedConfidence?: number / decayFactor?: number / hoursToResolution?: number / confidenceDecay?: "low" | "medium" | "high". New DECAY_LOW_CONFIDENCE_FLOOR = 0.3 + DECAY_HIGH_CONFIDENCE_FLOOR = 0.8 named exports. Hook fires in routeInner AFTER cache + Tier-0 + Iter-12 regime short-circuit + Iter-14 anomaly hook but BEFORE the complexity classifier so the resulting bias applies uniformly to budget gating, EIG/cost gate, viability filter, and Tier-2 paid dispatch decisions. Unlike regime (which short-circuits the entire LLM ladder) and anomaly (which forces Tier-2 + bypasses viability), decay is INFORMATIONAL: it colors the routing decision but does not short-circuit. Three effects: (1) decayedConfidence < 0.3 → far-horizon low-confidence prior; the router FORCES Tier-1 settle (Tier-2 escalation suppressed even when shouldEscalate=true AND complexity=="rare_hard") — rationale: far-horizon markets are noisy, paying Sonnet against a mostly-decayed prior wastes both budget and EIG signal. Anomaly's forceTier2 STILL wins over this (anomalies override far-horizon caution via the !forceTier2 guard at the decay hook). (2) decayedConfidence >= 0.8 → near-horizon high-confidence prior; result annotated with confidenceDecay="high", tier unchanged. (3) In between → confidenceDecay="medium", tier unchanged. Precedence: regime > anomaly > decay. decayFields() private helper spreads the four annotation fields onto every relevant return path (Tier-1 settle / panic-mode Tier-1 collapse / EIG-skip Tier-1 collapse / Anthropic-null Tier-1 collapse / Tier-2 paid success / localFallback). applyTimeDecay + DecayResult imported from @/lib/poly/timeToResolution (Iter 15 pure-math).

(2) decayContext high-confidence (h=0, base=0.9) → factor=1.0 → decayed=0.9 → Tier-2 dispatch allowed with confidenceDecay="high" / decayedConfidence~=0.9 / decayFactor=1 / hoursToResolution=0 annotations. (3) decayContext absent → no-op (all four decay fields undefined; Tier-1 unchanged from baseline).

Poly Algo Iter 15 — §4.2 Time-to-Resolution exponential confidence decay (pure-math, feeds Iter 10 calibration)

+lib/poly/timeToResolution.ts: new pure-math module conditioning the Iter 10 calibration layer's confidence (CI half-width, 0-100) on hours-to-resolution. Exponential decay with tunable half-life: decayFactor = (1/2) ^ (hoursToResolution / halfLifeHours); decayedConfidence = max(minConfidence, baseConfidence * decayFactor). Defaults: halfLifeHours = 168 (7 days — at h=168 factor=0.5, h=336 factor=0.25, h=720 factor~0.05, h>1000 hits the floor); minConfidence = 0. Decay is applied to confidence (trust / CI half-width), NOT to calibrated probability (the curve's bucket observed_rate is horizon-independent — what changes with horizon is how SURE we can be about the point estimate). Two exported functions: applyTimeDecay(baseConfidence, hoursToResolution, config?) → DecayResult {decayedConfidence, hoursToResolution, decayFactor}, and combineCalibratedWithDecay(rawMidpoint, calibrationCurve, hoursToResolution, config?) → {calibrated, confidence, decayFactor} canonical single-call helper that runs calibrateProbability (Iter 10) then applyTimeDecay so router / dashboard / per-trade hooks fetch one number for "calibrated probability + horizon-aware confidence". Exported constants: DEFAULT_HALF_LIFE_HOURS=168 / DEFAULT_MIN_CONFIDENCE=0 / FAR_HORIZON_THRESHOLD_HOURS=1000 / RECENT_HORIZON_THRESHOLD_HOURS=1. Defensive clamps: negative / NaN / Infinity hoursToResolution → treated as 0 (just-resolved, full confidence); baseConfidence > 100 clamped to 100; halfLifeHours <= 0 / non-finite → falls back to DEFAULT_HALF_LIFE_HOURS. Pure math: no I/O, no LLM, no DB; deterministic + replayable; no `any`. Wiring into router.ts (alpha-source pattern, same as Iter 12 regime + Iter 14 anomaly) is a follow-up iter.

New ANOMALY_FORCE_TIER2_CONFIDENCE = 0.7 named export. Hook fires in routeInner AFTER the Iter-12 regime short-circuit (regime wins — a confident regime classification is itself a 0-token answer that supersedes anomaly escalation) but BEFORE the complexity classifier so a confident anomaly can FORCE Tier-2 dispatch even when the structural classifier would otherwise cap the request at Tier-1. On a confident anomaly hit (anomalous: true AND confidence >= 0.7): forceTier2 set → complexity is coerced to "rare_hard" (caller complexityOverride still wins if explicitly set) → Tier-1 short-circuit gate is overridden (escalation happens without the caller setting shouldEscalate) → bypassViability set, the Economic Viability Filter (Iter 6) is SKIPPED for this call so a free-tier user seeing a 4σ price spike still gets the Sonnet escalation. Panic mode (Iter 5) is NOT bypassed — system-wide kill switch wins over per-call anomaly elevation. EIG/cost gate (Iter 4) still runs. Tier-2 paid return surfaces anomalyDetected / anomalyType / anomalyZScore so the dashboard can attribute paid calls forced by anomaly vs. structurally rare_hard. detectAnyAnomaly + AnomalyContext + AnomalyResult types imported from lib/poly/anomalyDetector (pure-math, no I/O).

+lib/poly/anomalyDetector.ts NEW: pure-math companion to the Iter 11/12 Market Regime classifier. Three public detector functions exported: detectPriceAnomaly(ctx, sigmaThreshold = 3) returns AnomalyResult flagging price_spike (positive z) or price_crash (negative z) when the trailing-1h-window mean deviates from the prior-7-day-baseline mean by >= sigmaThreshold population standard deviations; detectSentimentDivergence(ctx, thresholdAbs = 0.6) returns AnomalyResult flagging sentiment_divergence when the recent-window mean sentiment and the recent-window normalized price direction point opposite ways with absolute spread >= thresholdAbs (priceDir normalized to [-1, +1] via clamp(rawDelta / 0.5, -1, 1)); detectAnyAnomaly(ctx) is the OR-composition convenience wrapper — evaluates price first, then divergence; first hit wins. AnomalyResult.type union is "price_spike" | "price_crash" | "sentiment_divergence" | "volume_collapse" — the last reserved by the public interface for a future detector (volume time-series not in current inputs).

Poly Algo Iter 12 — Market Regime wired into router (deterministic short-circuit, 0-token path on confident classification)

+lib/inference/router.ts: marketSignals?: RegimeSignals optional field added to RouteRequest. RouteTier union extended with new "regime" variant. RouteResult extended with regime?: MarketRegime / regimeConfidence?: number / regimeRationale?: string / tokensUsed?: number. New regime-context query hook fires in routeInner AFTER cache + Tier-0 deterministic but BEFORE the complexity classifier, budget gate, EIG/cost gate, viability filter, panic-mode gate, and Tier-1/Tier-2 LLM dispatch. When marketSignals supplied AND classifyMarketRegime(signals) returns {fallback_to_llm: false, confidence >= REGIME_CONFIDENCE_FLOOR (0.6)}, the router short-circuits with tier: "regime" / modelUsed: "deterministic-regime" / costUsd: 0 / tokensUsed: 0 / eig: <regime confidence> and the regime/confidence/rationale triple populated. JSON-serialized regime payload becomes the result; optional storeCachedInference write when ttlSec supplied (keyed on modelUsed === "deterministic-regime" so cache hits replay as tier === "cache"). On fallback_to_llm=true OR confidence<0.6 the router falls through to the existing LLM path unchanged. When marketSignals is omitted (every existing caller) the hook is skipped — zero regression. TryRouteResult union gains a tagged-true variant {ok: true, deterministic: true, regime, confidence, model: "deterministic-regime", value}; tryRoute() tags regime short-circuits before returning. No `any`; classifyMarketRegime + REGIME_CONFIDENCE_FLOOR + RegimeSignals/MarketRegime/RegimeClassification types imported from lib/poly/marketRegime (pure-math, no I/O).

+router.ts wiring: route() entry runs detectReflectionLoop on currentDepth()+1 BEFORE enterCall() so a soft-cap trip never leaves a frame to clean up. routeInner() runs detectDuplicatePrompt AFTER cache + Tier-0 settle and ONLY when willCallLlm so cache hits + Tier-0 deterministic returns (which cost $0) are allowed to repeat and never seed the dedupe window. recordPromptHash fires after the classifier check passes so a rejected request (bloat / budget / panic / viability / EIG) does not poison the window. materializePromptForHash helper mirrors the bloat-guard preference order: paidPrompt > localPrompt > raw input, JSON.stringify-normalized for non-string inputs.

+Backdrop blur upgraded 8px → 16px; background opacity 0.92 → 0.96; border-bottom var(--border) → var(--surface-top); z-index 90 → 1000.
+Nav tabs replaced: pill-style background indicator replaced with full-height tab pattern matching consumer .kn-nav-item — wash slide-up, center-grow underline with glow, side-rail inset shadows on active.
+Bridge chip (back to Kairon) gains hover transition: border tints to color-mix(in srgb, var(--primary) 27%, transparent), background lightens to var(--surface-high), color to var(--text) at 0.22s cubic-bezier.

/forge/account — builder-optimized account settings (8 tabs)

+New /forge/account route with 224px sidebar layout and 8 tabs: Forge Plan (QuotaRing gauges for tasks + intel usage), API Tokens (issue/revoke with one-time plaintext reveal), MCP Servers (coming-soon cards for Sentry/Vercel/GitHub), Skill Packs (kairon_os_user_packs list), Guardian Audit (last 50 rows + NDJSON/CSV export), Billing (ForgeBillingTab reading kairon_os_plan), Team (Agency+ only, hidden below threshold), and Profile (display name, email read-only, Forge ID). Audience-gated to kairon_os_plan !== none — non-Forge users redirect to /forge.

Kairon Gateway: drop-in OpenAI + Anthropic compatible proxy

+Two new proxy endpoints accept standard OpenAI and Anthropic request shapes, route through Kairon governance and intel quota metering, and return provider-shaped responses. No refactor needed — teams already using openai.ChatCompletion or the Anthropic SDK can integrate in 5 minutes by swapping the base URL and auth header. Both endpoints require KaironOS Pro or higher (personal/none get 402), increment kairon_os_intel_quota_used, and emit hash-bucketed flywheel signals. Docs at /docs/gateway.

Intel API Phase 4.1: quota enforcement + monthly reset

+Hardens all 4 intel tool endpoints (macro_snapshot / anomaly.detect / news.semantic_search / forecast.calibrated) with authoritative tier-quota enforcement. A new dry-run gate at the route layer hard-blocks personal/none tiers with a 429 before any tool logic runs; paid tiers (Pro/Pro+/Agency/Enterprise) pass through to atomic quota increment. Quota-exhausted errors now return 429 instead of 400. Successful calls emit a hash-bucketed flywheel signal (no user_id stored). New admin POST /api/admin/intel-quota/reset endpoint allows manual quota reset per user with full triple-layer admin gate. Schema migration adds kairon_os_intel_quota_reset_at and kairon_os_intel_quota_window columns. Run npm run db:migrate-pending to apply.

vv0.36FEATURE2026-05-18

Hybrid AI Provider resolver (Dev = Ollama, Prod = Anthropic)

+getModelForTask() in lib/aiRegistry.ts now resolves the AI backend via a three-mode AI_PROVIDER env var: "auto" (default) routes to local Ollama in dev and Anthropic claude-sonnet-4-6 in production; "local" forces Ollama; "cloud" forces Anthropic. A lightweight HEAD /api/tags probe (30 s cache) detects Ollama availability in dev — if unreachable, auto-falls back to cloud. Admin kairon_settings overrides still take priority. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is already set in Vercel production.

vv0.35FEATURE2026-05-18

Forge DevHeader: search + notifications parity

+Kairon Forge DevHeader now matches the consumer Header for all builder-relevant elements: global search bar with typeahead dropdown (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K, arrow navigation, trending results), NotificationBell (article + community, unread dot, realtime), and hover tooltip system. Reuses /api/search/suggest and the NotificationBell component directly — no forks. Right slot order: notifications | AI chat | auth | bridge chip.

vv0.34FEATURE2026-05-18

Stripe Conversion Funnel Panel (Admin)

+New "Funnel" tab in the Admin Panel surfaces the full free-to-trial-to-paid-to-churn pipeline derived from Stripe webhook data (v0.23 columns). Four KPI tiles show Free / Trialing / Active / Canceled counts for the selected time window (7d / 14d / 30d / 90d).
+Trial-to-paid conversion % and 30-day churn % are shown with amber/green delta vs locked monetize targets (40% trial-to-paid, 12% churn). Active subscriber count broken down by plan tier (Pro / Elite / Forge Pro / Forge Pro+ / Forge Agency) with horizontal bar shares.
+Auto-refreshes every 60 seconds; manual refresh button. Data-freshness caveat displayed: columns update on Stripe webhook events only, so pre-webhook users may show stale status until their next event fires.

Forge audit gap fixes: ai-strategy gate / pack seeding / intel-api copy

+/ai-strategy plan gate documented as consumer plan (resolveIsPro/resolveIsElite), not kairon_os_plan — upsells Kairon Pro, not Forge.
+Seed SQL written for 4 missing skill packs (FinOps / Music / Security / Data); not yet executed — run via db:migrate-pending when ready.
+/intel-api status bar and methodology note now clarify MCP tools are in closed beta for paid Forge tiers; "Coming 2027" refers to the standalone public Intel API product.

DevHeader AI chat trigger

+Kairon Forge DevHeader now shows the same AI chat opener button as the consumer Header. Clicking it opens the shared KaironChatPanel modal (no fork). MessageSquare icon, same purple-accent hover style, left of auth identity slot. Auth slot (v0.30) verified functional.

vv0.31FEATURE2026-05-18

Intel Quota Usage Tracker (Admin)

+Adds a new "Intel Quota" tab to the Admin Panel showing aggregate kairon_os_intel_quota_used consumption across all Forge users, grouped by KaironOS plan tier. Four KPI tiles (Forge users, total queries used, overage tiers, max single-user) plus a per-tier breakdown table with p50 / p95 / max percentiles and a horizontal bar showing average usage vs tier cap. Overage rows highlight amber. Auto-refreshes every 60 seconds. Enables overage revenue forecasting ($0.05/query) ahead of Phase 3 launch.

vv0.30FEATURE2026-05-18

Cross-shell auth slot alignment: Header + DevHeader

+DevHeader (Kairon Forge shell) now renders the same auth identity slot as the consumer Header: avatar button with tier badge, Account dropdown (Profile / Account / Dashboard / AI Strategy / Demo Trade / Admin if applicable / Upgrade if Free), and Sign in / Sign up buttons for unauthenticated visitors. Auth skeleton shown during loading to prevent flash. Brand mark and audience nav slots are unchanged; bridge chip preserved.

vv0.29SECURITY2026-05-18

Admin Gate Layer 3 — recalculate-scores + x-post

+Added requireAdmin() per-route gate to /api/admin/recalculate-scores and /api/admin/x-post. Both handlers previously relied only on edge proxy and layout layers; session-based requests now require a valid admin session. Automated service callers (CRON_SECRET / INTERNAL_API_SECRET bearer) continue to function unchanged.

vv0.28FEATURE2026-05-18

Admin A/B Exposure Dashboard

+Adds a new "A/B" tab to the Admin Panel displaying per-variant A/B exposure data. Four KPI tiles show total exposures, unique hash-bucketed visitors, active variant count, and distinct surfaces. A time-range dropdown (7d / 14d / 30d / 90d) filters the underlying GET /api/admin/ab/exposures call. The variant table sorts by exposure count and visualises share via a horizontal bar chart. Auto-refreshes every 60 seconds.

vv0.27FIX2026-05-18

Terminal-only ops: db:migrate-pending + stripe:webhook-sync

+Adds two npm run scripts so pending DB migrations and Stripe webhook event sync can be triggered from the terminal. npm run db:migrate-pending auto-discovers scripts/2026-*.sql files and tracks applied state in a local .migrations-applied file. npm run stripe:webhook-sync reads the canonical event list from app/api/webhook/route.ts and updates the Stripe endpoint idempotently. Both scripts are safe to re-run.

A/B variant rendering on /, /forge, /intel-api hero

+Marketing v1.5's 12 headline/CTA variants are now live across the three landing surfaces. Append ?v=A (default) or ?v=B to any inbound link to control which copy renders. Consumer hero on / swaps between "Trade where the whales already went." and "News is late. Markets aren't." Forge hero on /forge swaps between "Agents with priors, not guesses." and "The agent OS shipped with a market in its memory." Intel API hero on /intel-api swaps between "Prediction-market data Bloomberg doesn't sell." and "Forecasts, calibrated. API, on-demand."
+A session-scoped expose call fires once per surface per tab-session via a zero-UI client sliver, gated by sessionStorage key kairon_ab_exposed_<surface>_v1. Fails silently until /api/ab/expose (v0.25) is deployed — no user-visible regression pre-Backend cycle.

A/B exposure infra — hash-bucketed, idempotent, zero PII

+Adds the backend substrate for Marketing v1.5 A/B tests. A new kairon_ab_exposures table stores hash-bucketed exposures with a unique constraint on (exposure_bucket, variant_key) guaranteeing silent idempotency. POST /api/ab/expose resolves the visitor bucket via sha256(IP_HASH_SECRET + ip + day), deduplicates on conflict, and stamps profiles.last_exposure_hash when the visitor is authenticated — enabling post-conversion attribution without ever storing a user_id in the exposure table.
+Admin moderators can query GET /api/admin/ab/exposures?since=14d to see per-variant exposure counts and unique-bucket cardinality. Rate-limiter updated with /api/ab at 30 req/min. Frontend cycle (parallel, separate commit) will read the ?v= URL param and fire the expose endpoint once per session via sessionStorage gate.

Forge Flywheel substrate — kairon_os_workflow_signals Phase 3

+Pre-builds the kairon_os_workflow_signals table substrate for the Phase 3 intel-signal flywheel (PROJECT.md §11). A migration adds the canonical Phase 3 column set: signal_type, signal_bucket (daily sha256 hash — never raw user/org id), intel_scope, pack_slug, outcome_v2, and metadata with automatic sanitization of forbidden keys. Three new indexes support signal-type and bucket aggregation queries used in the Phase 5+ consumer Score back-propagation.
+The TypeScript write helper (lib/kaironos/flywheel/signals.ts) is updated with the full WorkflowSignalInput interface. Metadata is automatically stripped of user_id / org_id / email / token before insert. New types WorkflowSignalOutcome and WorkflowSignalInput are exported from lib/admin/types.ts. Future skill-pack flows emit signals by calling recordWorkflowSignal() without further schema changes.

vv0.23FEATURE2026-05-18

Stripe webhook writes plan / trial / churn back to profiles

+The Stripe webhook handler now handles customer.subscription.created, customer.subscription.updated, and customer.subscription.deleted events. Each event writes subscription_status, stripe_customer_id, stripe_subscription_id, trial_started_at, trial_ends_at, and canceled_at back to the profiles table, unblocking ARPU / churn / trial-conversion reporting in the Admin monetize dashboard.
+On cancellation the plan column is reverted to free (consumer) or none (Stocks / KaironOS) so plan resolution immediately reflects the loss of access. All events are deduplicated via the existing webhook_events table. A migration script at scripts/2026-05-18-stripe-profile-columns.sql adds the new columns (user runs).

vv0.22FEATURE2026-05-18

Master positioning + 7-day Pro trial

+Three Kairon entry points (/, /forge, /intel-api) now share a single brand-signature eyebrow line "Built on prediction-market intelligence competitors can't clone" with a Lucide Network icon tinted to each surface's accent color. The consumer hero headline on / was swapped to the whale-lens line: "See the trades whales make before the news catches up." The /forge hero headline was updated to "The only agent OS where every agent ships with multi-year market priors."
+Consumer Pro card on /pricing now shows a Sparkles-prefixed "7-day free trial" badge above the CTA button, with CTA copy updated to "Start free trial". Kairon Forge Pro+ tier in ForgePricingCallout now surfaces "Intel forecasting included" in its pitch line.

Five canonical Skill Packs + cross-product polish

+Skill Pack marketplace now covers all five canonical packs end-to-end: DevOps, FinOps, Music (shipped earlier), plus new detail pages for Security (Snyk + Semgrep + 1Password Vault gates, red accent) and Data (dbt + Airbyte + warehouse query gates, cyan accent). /forge top page ForgeSkillShowcase grid expands from 3 cards to 5; each routes to its full marketing detail page.
+New /forge Scene 7 cross-link: an institutional callout pointing to /intel-api so builders curious about the Bloomberg-grade API surface can find it in one click.
+EliteMacroBrief widget on /dashboard now uses canonical Kairon amber (var(--amber)) instead of a custom off-palette gold (#D6A35C). Gradient background reskinned to rgba(245,158,11,0.08) for design-system harmony.
+/skill-packs install marketplace polished to match /forge: Newsreader-serif headline, Lucide Package eyebrow chip on canonical Kairon-green background, banned arrow swapped for Lucide ArrowRight, "Your KaironOS plan" copy updated to "Your Kairon Forge plan", pricing anchor migrated to /pricing#kairon-forge, new "Back to Forge" cross-link. /intel-api/docs preview page got the same arrow fix.

/intel-api waitlist landing — Bloomberg-grade prediction-market intelligence, coming 2027

+New /intel-api landing page targets institutional buyers (hedge funds, fintech, media, consulting). Tagged "Coming 2027 · Closed beta H2" via a sticky cyan status bar. Inline 3-field waitlist form (email + role + use case) submits to the existing /api/waitlist route with product=intel_api and persists to the waitlist Supabase table.
+Four MCP tools are documented as cards with mono signatures: kairon.market.macro_snapshot, kairon.anomaly.detect, kairon.news.semantic_search, kairon.forecast.calibrated. Tier quotas and pricing intentionally TBD until ahead-of-beta.
+Cyan var(--cyan) accent marks the page as the info-tier surface, distinct from Forge green (builder) and Pro purple (consumer AI). Editorial Newsreader serif throughout the methodology note.
+Discoverability: Footer Product column gains an Intel API entry. Sitemap adds /forge, /forge/skill-packs/{devops,finops,music}, and /intel-api so search engines pick up the new marketing surfaces.

FinOps + Music Skill Pack detail pages now live under /forge/skill-packs

+The /forge/skill-packs/[slug] dynamic route now serves three packs: DevOps (v0.17), FinOps (new), and Music (new). FinOps gates AWS + provider billing + OpenRouter routing through Anvil; Music gates DAW writes through Logic Pro and Ableton MCP servers. Both follow the same 8-scene narrative pattern shipped for DevOps.
+FinOps Pack focuses on burn-rate control: budget-cap raise / model swap / rate-limit / failover approval templates, plus cloud-burn and token-burn anomaly detectors with 3σ kill-switches. Accent: purple.
+Music Pack focuses on session integrity: MIDI write / Stem export / Plugin sweep / Render bounce approvals, plus session-integrity (checksum, plugin crash) and realtime-load (CPU, RAM, disk) sensors. Accent: amber.
+Refactor under the hood: pack content moved to a PACK_DATA map keyed by slug, so adding a fourth pack now means adding a map entry plus the slug in generateStaticParams — no copy-paste of the 8-scene shell.

Triple cycle — CostDiagnose Builder framing, Triptych polish, DevOps Pack page

+New /forge/skill-packs/devops detail page: 8-scene narrative (Hero, three MCP pillars Sentry+Vercel+GitHub, four approval-template rows with tier/cost, two anomaly-detector cards for deploy health and cloud billing, macro-context insight, governance proof, four-tier unlock matrix, final CTA). Built from a Designer agent spec, implemented inline. Reachable from /forge Skill Pack Showcase card.
+CostDiagnose widget now persona-aware. With ?for=builder the eyebrow / headline / sub copy swap to a "Governance-ready agent runtime" framing pitched at AI infra buyers; default consumer copy unchanged.
+Builder Triptych demos polished after a Designer audit caught three issues: Anvil row now visibly swipes 6px before snapping to approved; MCP stream lines stagger and scroll out cleanly with the result line in muted grey instead of green (no more accent collision); Guardian audit-rate bars climb-then-settle on a 5s loop and the section gains a ShieldCheck mark + renamed "Write rate" label.
+First cycle to actually use the Designer agent (Opus 4.7 + thinking) introduced in the team-config change earlier today. Frontend stayed Sonnet-tier for the implementation. Worth-the-token validation: Designer caught three discrete visual issues Frontend would not have on its own.

Persona toggle on / — same homepage now answers to both Traders and Builders

+New segmented chip above the hero on / lets visitors switch between For Traders (default) and For Builders. Builder variant rewires three sections only: hero copy + 1st CTA (Open Dashboard becomes Open Forge), LiveDemoTriptych (Anvil approval / MCP stream / Guardian audit curve), and the Personas trio (Platform Lead / Quant Eng / Compliance Owner). Everything else — FloatingMarketGrid, Scoreboard, CostDiagnose, BeforeAfter, TopMarket, TrustRail, FinalCTA, Marquee — stays byte-identical to v0.15.
+URL-param branching: ?for=builder triggers SSR-level swap so Google indexes both audiences. Default / remains consumer-canonical. No client persona state, no cookie, no localStorage.
+Transition is a 250ms opacity cross-fade on the three swap targets via a single forgeFadeIn keyframe — no new animation library, no layout shift.
+Cross-product discoverability: builders landing on / via partner link with ?for=builder now see Anvil + MCP + Forge messaging instead of bouncing because the page reads "consumer-only".

Kairon Forge gets a top page — /forge ships the developer narrative

+New /forge top page — a sister landing to the consumer / homepage. Six sections: Anvil hero, end-to-end vertical slice, live Layer-1 scanner, trust signals (governance score + cost radar side-by-side), skill-pack showcase (DevOps / FinOps / Music), compact 4-tier pricing teaser. Reuses VerticalSliceDemo + PromptScannerPanel + GovernanceScore + CostRadar from /governance — single source of truth.
+Consumer homepage at / left completely untouched per direction. /forge speaks the same design language (palette / typography / spacing) but its narrative is deploy / approve / audit, not market intel.
+Cross-shell nav: DevHeader brand mark now routes to /forge (previously /docs/sdk) and gains a new "Home" nav entry. The right-side bridge link is now styled as a chip "← Kairon" pointing back to /. Footer Product column gains "Kairon Forge" link so consumer visitors find the developer surface.
+/pricing KaironOS section gains an id="kairon-forge" anchor so /forge CTAs deep-link directly to the right plan grid. /forge added to FORGE_PATH_PREFIXES so the dev shell loads on it automatically.

+Kairon-flavored chrome (PostComposer, LeftSidePanel, TrendingScrollPopup, BetaBanner, NotificationBanner) wrapped in <ShellGate shell="kairon"> so it never renders on Forge surfaces. AdminPopup + FeedbackButton + CookieBanner + LoginPromptModal stay universal.
+X handle centralized — new lib/config/social.ts exports X_HANDLE / X_AT / X_URL backed by NEXT_PUBLIC_X_HANDLE. Single env edit propagates to Twitter Card metadata, Footer, share-on-X CTAs across cost-diagnose + article share bars.
+Renamed user-facing "KaironOS" → "Kairon Forge" on /pricing tagline + section eyebrow + hero copy. Internal code paths (lib/kaironos/*, /app/api/kaironos/*) retain the legacy identifier until a dedicated rename sprint per CLAUDE.md note.

+POST /api/governance/risk-graph + detect_attack_chain MCP tool — Kairon now exposes 9 MCP tools total.
+Pattern set is extensible (add to PATTERNS array); sliding subsequence match keeps the detector O(n × patterns × maxGap) — comfortable for 2000-event audit windows.

+Per gap-to-first-revenue plan, the cost-diagnostic result card now leads with an EARLY-BIRD price box ($9.50/mo with $19 strikethrough + TrendingDown icon + "first 100 only" label) before the green CTA. Reduces "I'll think about it later" friction at step 3→4 of the conversion funnel.
+CTA reframed from "Claim 50% OFF (first 100 only)" to "Lock in $9.50/mo · Pro" — more concrete commitment language for the cost-controller persona.

+New DevHeader at 48px — Anvil icon, "Kairon Forge" wordmark, 4 nav slots (SDK / Demo / Scanner / Build log), bridge link back to kairon.trade. Inline-styled, Lucide-only.
+HeaderSwitcher client wrapper routes /docs/*, /governance/demo, /security/scan to the DevHeader; everything else keeps the existing consumer Header unchanged.

MCP server + PWA shortcuts + beta banner + waste counter

+New /api/mcp speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 — any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Zed, AEGIS) can register Kairon as a server, call analyze_ai_cost and list_recommendations with a Bearer token from /account/api-tokens.
+Homepage diagnostic now ticks a live "wasted since you opened this page" counter under the savings number, fed by savingsAnnual / SECONDS_PER_YEAR.
+Beta banner above the footer trades bug reports for free Pro months and deep-links into /feedback?category=bug.
+PWA manifest rebranded to the full Kairon footprint with three home-screen shortcuts: Cost Diagnostic, Approve, Feedback.
+Rust kairon-guardian scaffold + AEGIS bridge guide land alongside the cloud MCP so the local OS-safety side of the stack has a stable contract to grow into.

/build-log + early-cohort feedback inbox

+Public /build-log page tells the 12-hour ship story with a Lucide timeline, stack rundown, and an EARLYBIRD50 CTA bar — linked from X / Reddit Build-in-Public posts.
+New /feedback form (anonymous-friendly, optional email) plus a floating bottom-right button shown only to Pro / Elite / admin users, with a 24h cooldown after submit.
+Admin → Feedback tab — KPI strip (open / triaged / resolved + EARLYBIRD50 voice count), status filter, one-click status flip on every row, all moderator-gated.
+Schema: user_feedback table with RLS (anon insert, self-read only); admin reads via service-role client; IP stored only as a daily-salted sha256 hash for dedup.

AI Cost Free Diagnostic + Early-Bird checkout

+Homepage gets a 5-second LLM cost diagnostic (no API key, no signup) — choose provider, model, monthly token volume, see projected monthly + annual savings against the cheapest comparable model.
+New /api/cost-diagnose route — stateless, rate-limited 30/min, simulates routing against a verified 2026-05 pricing table for Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google.
+EARLYBIRD50 promotion code wired through /api/checkout — first 100 Pro ($9.50), first 100 Elite ($24.50), first 50 KOS Pro+ ($14.50), silently falls back to full price if the Stripe ID is not set.
+/pricing shows an early-bird banner and propagates ?promo=EARLYBIRD50 through every plan CTA when the visitor arrives via the diagnostic result card.
