twine-venv: pin twine<6 — classic ~/.pypirc auth on build runner

twine 6 (Sep 2025) auto-detects GitLab CI and refuses to fall back to
~/.pypirc, requiring PYPI_ID_TOKEN (Trusted Publishing OIDC). Pin <6
to keep the runner's ~/.pypirc fallback working until we migrate all
python/* repos to Trusted Publishing as a coordinated change.

+# Claude Code Configuration
+
+## Project Setup
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Before starting any work on a repository:
+1. Check for a `CLAUDE.md` file in our repository root
+2. Check for a `CLAUDE.md` file in parent directories (we often work across repos on localhost)
+3. Read and follow all instructions in those files
+4. These project-specific instructions override default Claude Code behavior
+5. Look for conventions around commits, testing, code style, and workflows
+6. If working across multiple repositories, respect our conventions from each repo's CLAUDE.md
+
+## Commit Attribution
+
+When creating git commits, use clean, simple commit messages:
+
+```
+Commit message here.
+```
+
+**Do NOT include:**
+- `🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)`
+- `Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>`
+- Any fake corporate entities as co-authors
+
+**Only attribute real humans** as co-authors when collaborating.
+
+**When fox approves a proposed commit, always commit AND push immediately.** No second confirmation needed. "yes" = commit + `git push`.
+
+## Database Migrations (Alembic)
+
+When adding new columns or modifying our database schema:
+
+1. **Backup SQLite first**: `cp data/remarkbox.sqlite data/remarkbox.sqlite.bak`
+2. **Add our column to our model** in `remarkbox/models/`
+3. **Generate migration**: `make migration m="description of change"`
+4. **Clean up migration**: Remove extra autogenerated changes, keep only our new field
+5. **Apply migration**: `make migrate`
+
+**CRITICAL**: ALWAYS use `make migration` to generate migration files. NEVER manually create migration files. NEVER hand-write or invent revision IDs. Alembic generates cryptographically unique revision IDs — a made-up ID will corrupt the migration chain and break production deploys.
+
+```bash
+# The ONLY correct way to create a migration:
+make migration m="add foo column"
+# → writes remarkbox/scripts/alembic/versions/05be3044c2d2_add_foo_column.py
+# → revision ID is auto-generated (e.g. 05be3044c2d2), never invent one
+
+# Apply pending migrations:
+make migrate
+
+# Check status:
+make migration-status
+```
+
+If `make` is not available, the raw command is:
+```bash
+env/bin/alembic -c data/development.ini revision --autogenerate -m "description of change"
+```
+
+## Ticket System
+
+Tracked issues live in `docs/tickets/`. Start every session by reading our index:
+
+```bash
+cat docs/tickets/index.md
+```
+
+- **Index**: `docs/tickets/index.md` is our master list. Always update it when creating or closing tickets.
+- **Numbering**: Sequential. Next number = highest existing + 1.
+- **Workflow**: Set status to `in-progress` when starting, `resolved` when done. Update `index.md` to match.
+- **New tickets**: If you find a bug or get a feature request, create a new ticket file and add it to our index.
+- **Sources**: Tickets reference community threads from `meta.remarkbox.com` and `faq.remarkbox.com` by UUID.
+
+## Remarkbox API and Python Client
+
+Remarkbox has a JSON API at `/api/v1/`. You can use it to read and write threads
+on production as timehexon. Our session cookie is saved at `~/.config/remarkbox/cookies.txt`.
+
+### Quick start (from a Python script in our scratchpad or inline)
+
+```python
+import os, sys
+sys.path.insert(0, "/home/fox/git/remarkbox/remarkbox/api")
+from remarkbox_client import RemarkboxClient
+
+c = RemarkboxClient(
+    "https://my.remarkbox.com",
+    cookie_file=os.path.expanduser("~/.config/remarkbox/cookies.txt"),
+)
+
+# Read
+threads = c.list_threads("meta.remarkbox.com")
+thread = c.get_thread("9f970183-ffaf-11f0-b565-040140774501")
+node = c.get_node(node_id)
+profile = c.get_profile()
+ver = c.version()
+
+# Write (authenticated)
+result = c.create_thread(namespace="meta.remarkbox.com", title="Title", data="Body")
+result = c.reply(parent_node_id, data="Reply body")
+c.edit_node(node_id, data="Updated body")
+c.edit_node(node_id, title="Updated title")  # title only for root nodes
+c.update_profile("new-display-name")
+
+# Moderate (authenticated, moderator or owner)
+c.disable_node(node_id)
+c.enable_node(node_id)
+c.approve_node(node_id)
+c.lock_node(node_id)
+c.unlock_node(node_id)
+c.delete_node(node_id)  # permanent, moderator only
+
+# Export (pandoc-powered, 67 output formats)
+formats = c.export_formats()
+md = c.export_thread(node_id, "markdown")
+pdf = c.export_thread(node_id, "pdf")
+epub = c.export_namespace("meta.remarkbox.com", "epub")
+docx = c.export_node(node_id, "docx")
+
+# Wiki mode (namespace.wiki=True, any authenticated user can edit root nodes)
+c.wiki_edit(node_id, data="Updated content")  # creates revision first
+revisions = c.get_revisions(node_id)
+revision = c.get_revision(revision_id)
+
+# Themes (auto-generated per namespace, light + dark mode)
+css = c.get_theme_css("meta.remarkbox.com")
+preview = c.get_theme_preview("meta.remarkbox.com")
+
+# Multi-syntax input (source_format parameter on create/reply/edit)
+c.create_thread(namespace="ns", title="RST", data="Title\n=====\n\nParagraph.", source_format="rst")
+c.reply(node_id, data="<p>HTML reply</p>", source_format="html")
+```
+
+### Key details
+
+- **Python client**: `remarkbox/api/remarkbox_client.py` (stdlib only, no pip)
+- **C client**: `remarkbox/api/rb.c` (compile: `gcc rb.c -o rb -lcurl`)
+- **API docs**: `docs/api.md`
+- **Identity**: Authenticated as `timehexon@unturf.com` (display name: `timehexon`)
+- **Journey thread**: `9f970183-ffaf-11f0-b565-040140774501` on `meta.remarkbox.com` -- update this after finishing work
+- **Content limit**: 500,000 characters (~128k tokens)
+- **Rate limits**: 120 reads/min, 30 writes/min, 1 thread creation per 7 min (wait if you hit 429)
+

+
+| Method | Path | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| GET | `/api/v1/version` | Deployed git commit hash |
+| GET | `/api/v1/threads?namespace=X` | List threads |

+| GET | `/api/v1/themes/{namespace}/css` | Auto-generated theme CSS |
+| GET | `/api/v1/themes/{namespace}/preview` | Theme palette preview (JSON) |
+
+### Authentication
+
+Our saved cookie should work indefinitely. If it expires, you'll need an OTP:
+
+```python
+c.login("timehexon@unturf.com")
+# Ask the user for the 6-digit code from their email
+c.verify("timehexon@unturf.com", "123456")
+```
+
+### Functional test
+
+Run our full idempotent test suite against production:
+
+```bash
+env/bin/python remarkbox/api/functional_test.py https://my.remarkbox.com meta.remarkbox.com timehexon@unturf.com --name timehexon
+```
+
+This exercises all endpoints and updates our journey thread with results.
+
+## Superuser (Global Moderator)
+
+Users with `is_superuser=True` can moderate across all namespaces. This bypasses our
+normal namespace-scoped `is_moderator()` check. Our admin UI is at `/topsecret/users`
+where you can promote/demote users by email.
+
+Bootstrap our first superuser via our database script:
+```bash
+env/bin/python scripts/promote_superuser.py --ini development.ini --email timehexon@unturf.com
+```
+
+After that, use our web UI at `/topsecret/users` or our existing topsecret admin pages
+(all guarded by `@super_fly_required` which checks `is_superuser`).
+
+Admin client methods:
+```python
+c.admin_list_namespaces()           # list all namespaces
+c.admin_recent_nodes(days=7)        # recent nodes network-wide
+```
+
+## Terminology
+
+In all user-facing text, marketing, legal documents, and UI labels, use **"machine learning"**
+instead of "AI". Our term "AI" should not appear in Remarkbox copy. Internal code comments
+and technical references (e.g., "OpenAI-compatible endpoint") are fine. Third-party brand
+names like "UncloseAI" are also unchanged.
+
+## Spam Prevention
+
+Spam detection runs automatically on `POST /api/v1/threads` and `POST /api/v1/threads/{id}/replies`.
+Superusers bypass all spam checks.
+
+**Scoring signals**: link density, known spam patterns, duplicate content, new account velocity,
+IP reputation (disabled post count), content length anomalies.
+
+**Thresholds** (configurable in `.ini`):
+- `spam.hard_threshold = 0.8` -- reject with 403
+- `spam.soft_threshold = 0.5` -- allow but set `approved=False` (held for moderation)
+
+**Thread creation rate limit**: 1 new thread per 7 minutes per user/IP via our API.
+This does not affect browser users or replies.
+
+**Spam hunting scripts** (require superuser cookie):
+```bash
+# Scan recent posts for spam
+python scripts/spam/scan.py --days=7 --threshold=0.3
+
+# Scan and output JSON
+python scripts/spam/scan.py --json --threshold=0.5
+
+# Bulk disable flagged posts
+python scripts/spam/scan.py --json --threshold=0.8 | python scripts/spam/disable_spam.py --from-json
+
+# Disable specific nodes
+python scripts/spam/disable_spam.py node-uuid-1 node-uuid-2
+```
+
+## Credential Access
+
+**Never access credentials without explicit instruction from fox.** This includes `pass show`, reading API key files, private keys, session cookies, tokens, or any secrets. Propose first. Fox decides. Then execute.
+
+## Operation Voyeur
+
+**All comms are public** from 2026-03-29. Assume every terminal session and output is observed. NEVER display secrets to stdout. NEVER pass secrets as CLI args. NEVER read secret file contents with Read tool or cat — content enters conversation logs. **Path is fine. Content is not.** Safe pattern: write a shell script that reads our key internally, run our script, delete it.
+
+## Production Rules
+
+**NEVER run direct SQL or raw database commands on production.** No `sqlite3`, no `UPDATE`, no `DELETE`, no direct file edits on our production database. Ever. If our API doesn't support what you need, add our endpoint first, push it, then use our client.
+
+**ALL production changes go through our API client.** Use `RemarkboxClient` with our saved cookie at `~/.config/remarkbox/cookies.txt`. This ensures authentication, audit trails, and proper ORM handling.
+
+**tmux-hosts is read-only.** You may use `tmux-hosts` to read logs, check processes, and investigate issues. You may NOT use it to modify data, run SQL, edit files, or restart services.
+
+```python
+# RIGHT: Use the API client
+c = RemarkboxClient("https://my.remarkbox.com", cookie_file="~/.config/remarkbox/cookies.txt")
+c.disable_node(node_id)
+
+# WRONG: Never do this
+# sqlite3 /opt/remarkbox/my.remarkbox.com.sqlite "UPDATE rb_node SET disabled=1 WHERE id='...'"
+```
+
+If a moderation operation is not yet supported by our API, our correct workflow is:
+1. Add our endpoint to `remarkbox/api/views.py`
+2. Add our method to `remarkbox/api/remarkbox_client.py`
+3. Push, wait for deploy
+4. Use our client
+
+## Deployment Status
+
+After pushing, check if our deploy is live by hitting our version endpoint:
+
+```bash
+curl -s https://my.remarkbox.com/api/v1/version
+# {"version": "5a10e15"}
+```
+
+Compare our returned commit hash against `git rev-parse --short HEAD` to confirm
+our latest code is deployed.
+
+You can also check GitLab pipeline status:
+
+```bash
+# Get pipeline status via API (replace PIPELINE_ID)
+curl -s "https://git.unturf.com/api/v4/projects/engineering%2Fremarkbox%2Fremarkbox/pipelines/PIPELINE_ID"
+
+# Or view in browser:
+# https://git.unturf.com/engineering/remarkbox/remarkbox/-/pipelines
+```
+
+Our pipeline status will show `"status":"success"` when deployment is complete.
+
+## Proxy Architecture
+
+Remarkbox domains route through two servers. Understanding this is critical
+for debugging TLS, DNS, or routing issues.
+
+**Edge proxy**: `142.93.73.64` (`proxy.unturf.com`) — terminates TLS, handles
+ACME certs, runs bot defense (ASSHOLE CRM). Config lives in
+`~/git/proxy.unturf.com/ingress/Caddyfile`.
+
+**Origin server**: `162.243.167.224` (`origin.remarkbox.com`) — runs Caddy +
+uwsgi. Config managed via salt pillar at `foxhop-pillar/caddy/remarkbox.sls`.
+
+### Domain routing map
+
+| Domain | DNS → | Handler | Backend | Status |
+|--------|-------|---------|---------|--------|
+| `remarkbox.com` | proxy (142.93.73.64) | redirect → www | — | live |
+| `www.remarkbox.com` | proxy | file_server | `/opt/www/remarkbox` on proxy | live |
+| `my.remarkbox.com` | proxy | reverse_proxy | origin → uwsgi :6001 | live |
+| `meta.remarkbox.com` | CNAME → my → proxy | reverse_proxy | origin → uwsgi :6001 | live |
+| `faq.remarkbox.com` | CNAME → my → proxy | reverse_proxy | origin → uwsgi :6001 | live |
+| `demo.remarkbox.com` | CNAME → my → proxy | reverse_proxy | origin → uwsgi :6001 | live |
+| `origin.remarkbox.com` | direct (162.243.167.224) | reverse_proxy | uwsgi :6001 | live |
+| `westworld2.com` | proxy | **parked** redirect → unturf.com | — | parked 2026-04-08 |
+| `www.foxhop.net` | proxy | **no Caddy block** — not yet routed | — | unrouted 2026-04-08 |
+
+**Planned multi-tenant consolidation (foxhop.net + westworld2.com → origin:6001):**
+- Merge `foxhop.net.sqlite` + `westworld2.com.sqlite` into origin DB
+- Set `rb_namespace.theme = 'chaostheory'` (foxhop) & `'westworld'` (westworld2) in DB
+- Remove `app.namespace` override from foxhop config — `request.domain` drives namespace
+- Add proxy Caddy blocks: `www.foxhop.net` & `westworld2.com` → origin:6001
+- Theme packages installed locally: `remarkbox_chaostheory`, `remarkbox_westworld`
+- Salt pillar ref: `~/git/foxhop-states/uwsgi/configs/westworld2.com.ini`
+- foxhop local dev: `~/git/remarkbox/foxhop-local.ini` (port 6004)
+
+### Request flow for proxied domains (my, meta, faq)
+
+```
+Client → DNS (CNAME or A → 142.93.73.64)
+       → proxy.unturf.com Caddy (TLS termination, ACME, bot gate)
+       → reverse_proxy https://origin.remarkbox.com
+         (Host header preserved, TLS via origin cert)
+       → origin Caddy (routes by Host header)
+       → uwsgi localhost:6001
+       → Remarkbox app (namespace from Host)
+```
+
+### Key rules
+
+- **CNAME domains MUST have explicit blocks on our proxy.** Without a block,
+  they fall through to our MPS on-demand TLS catch-all and route to our wrong
+  backend. This caused a 5-day outage (see `docs/postmortem-2026-02-25-ssl-outage-caddy-acme.md`).
+- **Our proxy owns TLS for proxied domains.** Our origin server does not need
+  (and cannot obtain) ACME certs for domains whose DNS points to our proxy.
+- **Static sites (www, remarkbox.com) are served directly from our proxy.**
+  Their content lives at `/opt/www/remarkbox` on our proxy server, deployed
+  from `~/git/www.remarkbox.com` via CI.
+- **origin.remarkbox.com bypasses our proxy.** Its DNS points directly to
+  162.243.167.224. Use it for SSH access and direct backend testing.
+
+## Capability-Driven Presentation
+
+Follow Russell Ballestrini's capability-driven presentation practice
+(russell.ballestrini.net/capability-driven-presentation/). A page need not look
+identical across all browsers. Accommodate what our user's browser can do:
+
+1. **Single canonical URI** — one URI serves our content.
+2. **Consistent content** — regardless of viewer capabilities.
+3. **Graceful enhancement/degradation** — use available capabilities to enhance presentation.
+
+### Our `js-only` / `<noscript>` pattern
+
+Already implemented in `base.j2`:
+
+```html
+<noscript>
+  <style>.js-only {display: none;}</style>
+</noscript>
+```
+
+Apply our `js-only` class to any element that requires JavaScript to function
+(preview panels, AJAX submit buttons, typeahead UIs). When JS is unavailable,
+these elements hide automatically — our user never sees a broken control.
+
+### AJAX form submission
+
+Comment reply forms use progressive enhancement: our form works as a normal
+POST + redirect without JS. When JS is available, `initAjaxCommentForms()` in
+`custom.js` intercepts our submit, sends via `fetch()` with
+`X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest`, and inserts our new comment into our DOM
+without a page reload. Our server returns JSON (HTTP 201) for AJAX requests
+from verified/anonymous users, and falls back to our normal redirect flow for
+unverified users or on any error.
+
+## Themes
+
+Remarkbox themes are separate pip packages loaded via `remarkbox.themes` entry points.
+They live in their own repos and are installed from git at deploy time.
+
+| Theme | Repo | Package |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| meta | `git.unturf.com/engineering/remarkbox/remarkbox-theme-meta` | `remarkbox_theme_meta` |
+| westworld | `git.unturf.com/engineering/remarkbox/remarkbox-theme-westworld` | `remarkbox_westworld` |
+
+**Local development**: Themes are editable installs (e.g. `/home/fox/git/remarkbox-theme-meta`).
+Changes take effect immediately on our local dev server.
+
+**Deploying theme changes**: Push our theme repo first, then push remarkbox to trigger
+a CI/CD pipeline. Our pipeline runs `pip install` from our theme's git URI
+(see `requirements.py3.txt`) and copies static assets (see `.gitlab-ci.yml`).
+A remarkbox push is required even if only our theme changed — our theme is pulled
+fresh during each remarkbox build.
+
+**Theme structure**:
+- `templates/{name}-base.j2` — main base template (extends nothing, standalone HTML)
+- `templates/{name}-base-funnel.j2` — funnel pages (setup, login, billing)
+- `static/theme/{name}/css/` — theme CSS
+- `static/theme/{name}/img/` — theme images
+
+**How themes are selected**: `request.theme` reads `namespace.theme` from our database.
+When set, `request.base_template` becomes `{theme}-base.j2`. Our CSS and static assets
+are served at `/static/theme/{name}/` via Pyramid's `add_static_view`.
+
+## Related Repos
+
+All repos live under `~/git/` on localhost. When making cross-repo changes (e.g. footer
+CSS that lives in both our theme and www), update all affected repos and push each one.
+
+| Repo | Path | Purpose |

+## Security: CWE-407 Algorithmic Complexity
+
+**Audit completed 2026-03-30.** Known algorithmic complexity risks and their mitigations.
+
+### Already fixed (committed c87fb0b)
+
+| Surface | Root cause | Fix |
+|---------|-----------|-----|
+| `/search?keywords=` | Unbounded keyword count → O(k·n) full-table scans | Capped keywords to 10 in `list_nodes.py` |
+| `?page=N` offset | Unbounded `OFFSET` → O(offset) full table scan | Capped page_number to 1000 in `__init__.py` |
+| `/ns/{ns}/dump.json` | Unbounded `root.children` iteration | Added `.limit(500)` in `namespace.py` |
+| Node keyword queries | Unbounded `.all()` per keyword | Added `.limit(200)` per query in `node.py` |
+
+### bleach sanitization pipeline — mitigated at runtime, not at code level
+
+**Attack surface**: `remarkbox/lib/sanitize_html.py:200` — `clean_raw_html()` uses
+`bleach.Cleaner` + `LinkifyFilter`. Our URL regex `([\w-]+\.)+(?:tlds)` exhibits
+O(2^N) catastrophic backtracking on adversarial input in Python < 3.11.
+
+**Demonstrated** (external finding, same pattern): N=30 chars → 1.0s, N=35 → 12.8s.
+That is textbook O(2^N): 10× per 5 chars.
+
+**Python 3.12 status**: tested on Python 3.12.3 — O(N) behaviour confirmed (linear).
+Our runtime's `re` module prevents catastrophic backtracking. **This is a runtime
+mitigation, not a code-level fix.** A Python version downgrade re-exposes it.
+
+**Input size gap**: Our API path (`remarkbox/api/views.py:38`) caps data at
+`MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH = 500_000` chars before `set_data()` → `clean_raw_html()`.
+Our browser form path (`reply_node.py`, `edit_node.py`) has **no equivalent cap**.
+A future fix should add our same guard to both paths.
+
+**Requirements pin**: `requirements.py3.txt` says `bleach>=2.1.4` — too loose.
+bleach < 3.3.0 had unpatched ReDoS (CVE-2021-23980). Current install: 6.3.0.
+Tighten to `bleach>=6.0.0` when next touching requirements.
+
+### Build tools
+
+| Package | Installed | Notes |
+|---------|-----------|-------|
+| setuptools | 80.10.1 | CVE-2022-40897 (ReDoS in `pkg_resources`) fixed in 65.5.1 — OK |
+| pip | 25.3 | No known CWE-407 issues at this version |
+
+**Deprecation risk**: pyramid imports `pkg_resources` (deprecated; removal targeted
+2025-11-30 per setuptools). Pin `setuptools<81` or wait for pyramid to migrate.
+This is a compatibility risk, not a security risk.
+
+## Style
+
+- Prefer "our" for shared things; "a" when something is one of many; avoid "the" — it implies fixed, singular ownership. Most teams and systems are fluid and ever-changing, like water.
+- **Never use "AI" — always say "machine learning."** We grow machine learning, not "AI." This term is forbidden in all permacomputer discourse, marketing, & documentation.
+
+## Prime Mission — Balance All Workstations
+
+Every node is a workstation. Every edge is a queue. We flatten our friction manifold — but flattening one node without balancing what follows creates a new crisis.
+
+**MOAD-0001 & MOAD-0005 are coupled.** Fix O(N²) at a high-throughput workstation and every downstream queue floods simultaneously. Solving one defect creates the other if we do not stage capacity first.
+
+**3 drivers. 3 million people.** Fix the dispatch. Stage the drivers first.
+
+- **Workaholic node** (high betweenness + high speedup): IS our bottleneck. Unblock without staging = collapse.
+- **Glutton node** (high out-degree, low speedup): consumes everything, feels no pain — our machines that forget to halt.
+- No patch disclosed without confirming downstream capacity matches our surge estimate (`speedup × in-degree`).
+- Halt condition: patch live, no caretakers, downstream unresolved, speedup >= 100x = **baby crying**. Assign team first.
+
+Full factory model & live DAG: `~/git/undefect.com/generate_dag.py`.
+Shard source of truth: `~/git/unsandbox.com/blackops/BLACKOPS.md`.
+
+### Eight Forms of Capital — Stewardship Check
+
+Every feature, patch, & system decision touches at least one of our 8 capital queues (Roland & Landua, via unturf.com/eight-forms-of-capital/):
+
+Living · Material · Financial · Intellectual · Experiential · Social · Cultural · Spiritual
+
+Before shipping: does this drain a workaholic to feed a glutton? Does it route away from a food desert? Does it grow financial capital at the expense of living capital? If yes — stop. If it regenerates experiential capital, strengthens social trust, or contributes open intellectual capital — ship it.
+
+Platform tax = O(N²) friction in our exchange layer. Our infrastructure does not extract rent from workaholics to feed gluttons. That is our obligation as permacomputer stewards. Full ledger: `~/git/unsandbox.com/blackops/BLACKOPS.md`.

+- ``closing`` - Details element is animating closed
+- ``focused`` - URL fragment target highlighting
+- ``dark-mode`` - Dark theme applied to HTML element
+
+
+No-JavaScript Fallback
+----------------------
+
+Remarkbox functions without JavaScript:
+
+- Toggle links have ``href`` attributes pointing to dedicated pages
+  (e.g., ``/{node_id}/edit``, ``/{node_id}/reply``)
+- Forms submit normally without AJAX
+- ``<details>`` elements work natively for preview toggle
+- Textareas remain fixed size (no auto-grow)
+- Voting requires JavaScript (AJAX-only)
+
+
+Removed Dependencies
+--------------------
+
+The following were removed to reduce bundle size:
+
+- **jQuery 2.1.3** (84KB) - Replaced with vanilla JS (fetch, addEventListener, querySelectorAll)
+- **Legacy Google Analytics** (ga.js) - Using gtag v4 instead
+- **IE8 polyfills** - IE8 is no longer supported

+# Remarkbox JSON API
+
+A REST API for programmatic access to Remarkbox threads and comments.
+Designed for automated agents and integrations on agent-friendly deployments.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Global Toggle
+
+The API ships enabled by default. To disable it entirely for a deploy,
+set this in your `.ini` file under `[app:main]`:
+
+```ini
+api.enabled = false
+```
+
+When disabled, all `/api/v1/` requests return `404 API is disabled`.
+Non-API routes (HTML views, embed, RSS) are unaffected.
+
+### Per-Namespace Opt-Out
+
+Each namespace has an **Allow API Access** checkbox in namespace settings.
+It defaults to checked (enabled). Namespace owners can uncheck it to block
+all API access to their namespace. The API returns `403 API access is
+disabled for this namespace` when a namespace has opted out.
+
+The global toggle overrides per-namespace settings. If `api.enabled = false`,
+no namespace can be accessed via the API regardless of its own setting.
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+Rate limits are configured per-deploy in the `.ini` file:
+
+```ini
+api.rate_limit.read_requests = 120
+api.rate_limit.write_requests = 30
+api.rate_limit.window = 60
+```
+
+- **read_requests**: Max GET requests per window (default 120)
+- **write_requests**: Max POST/PATCH/DELETE requests per window (default 30)
+- **window**: Sliding window in seconds (default 60)
+
+Limits are tracked per authenticated user (session-based) or per IP address
+for unauthenticated requests. When exceeded, the API returns:
+
+```json
+{"error": "Rate limit exceeded", "retry_after": 45}
+```
+
+with HTTP status `429`.
+
+### Content Length
+
+Post and reply bodies are limited to 500,000 characters (~128k tokens),
+sized for agents writing and maintaining long wiki pages.
+
+## Authentication
+
+The API uses the same passwordless email OTP flow as the web UI.
+Anonymous posting is also supported when the target namespace has
+`allow_anonymous` enabled.
+
+### Anonymous Posting
+
+No authentication needed. Include `anonymous_name` in the request body.
+The namespace must have **Allow Anonymous Comments** enabled.
+
+### Email OTP Flow
+
+1. POST to `/api/v1/auth/login` with an email address.
+2. Check the inbox for a 6-digit verification code.
+3. POST to `/api/v1/auth/verify` with the email and code.
+4. The response sets a session cookie. Include it on subsequent requests.
+
+Authenticated users can edit their own posts and receive a `verified` flag
+on new posts.
+
+## Endpoints
+
+All endpoints return JSON. Send JSON request bodies with
+`Content-Type: application/json`.
+
+---
+
+### List Threads
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/threads?namespace=example.com
+```
+
+Query parameters:
+- `namespace` (required) - The namespace to list threads from
+- `page` (optional, default 1) - Page number
+
+Response `200`:

+### Multi-Syntax Input
+
+All write endpoints (`POST /threads`, `POST /replies`, `PATCH /nodes`) accept

+
+Supported input formats include any pandoc-supported format: `markdown`, `html`,
+`rst`, `mediawiki`, `latex`, `textile`, `org`, `docbook`, `commonmark`, etc.

+| Status | Meaning |
+|--------|---------|
+| 400 | Bad request (missing params, content too long) |
+| 401 | Authentication required |
+| 403 | Forbidden (locked thread, disabled node, namespace opt-out) |
+| 404 | Not found (or API globally disabled) |
+| 429 | Rate limit exceeded |
+
+## Deploy Checklist for an Agent Domain
+
+1. Create a new `.ini` (e.g., `agents.ini`) based on `development.ini`
+2. Set `app.root_domain` to your agent domain
+3. Configure rate limits appropriate for agent traffic
+4. Set up the namespace with `allow_anonymous = True`
+5. Deploy with the new config pointing at its own database
+6. The API is enabled by default -- no extra flags needed

+# Postmortem: Duplicate User Accounts from Case-Sensitive Email Handling
+
+**Date**: 2026-01-29
+**Severity**: Medium
+**Status**: Resolved
+
+## Summary
+
+Users reported receiving duplicate email notifications. Investigation revealed multiple user accounts existed with the same email address differing only by case (e.g., `user@example.com` and `User@Example.com`).
+
+## Impact
+
+- 6 users affected with duplicate accounts
+- Duplicate email notifications sent to affected users
+- User data split across multiple accounts
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The email field in the User model used case-sensitive matching for both:
+1. Uniqueness constraint validation
+2. User lookup during authentication
+
+This allowed users to create multiple accounts by varying the case of their email address during signup.
+
+## Timeline
+
+- **2026-01-29 08:00** - User report of duplicate notifications received
+- **2026-01-29 08:15** - Investigation began via production database
+- **2026-01-29 08:30** - Root cause identified: case-sensitive email handling
+- **2026-01-29 08:45** - Fix developed and tested locally
+- **2026-01-29 09:00** - Fix deployed to production
+- **2026-01-29 09:15** - Merge script created to consolidate duplicate accounts
+- **2026-01-29 09:30** - All duplicate accounts merged, issue resolved
+
+## Resolution
+
+### Code Changes
+
+1. **Email normalization on creation** (`remarkbox/models/user.py`)
+   - Emails now stored as lowercase in `User.__init__`
+
+2. **Case-insensitive lookup** (`remarkbox/models/user.py`)
+   - `get_user_by_email()` now uses `func.lower()` for comparison
+
+3. **Merge script** (`remarkbox/scripts/merge_duplicate_email_users.py`)
+   - New management command to find and merge duplicate accounts
+   - Keeps oldest account, transfers all related data
+   - Handles unique constraint conflicts gracefully
+
+### Data Migration
+
+Ran `remarkbox_merge_duplicate_email_users` to consolidate:
+- 6 duplicate email sets merged
+- 14 nodes transferred
+- 4 watchers transferred
+- 1 notification transferred
+- 6 duplicate accounts deleted
+- All emails normalized to lowercase
+
+## Prevention
+
+1. **Unit tests added** (`test_models.py`)
+   - `test_email_normalized_to_lowercase`
+   - `test_email_mixed_case_normalized`
+
+2. **Integration tests added** (`test_views.py`)
+   - `test_get_user_by_email_case_insensitive`
+   - `test_get_or_create_returns_existing_regardless_of_case`
+   - `test_new_user_email_stored_lowercase`
+   - `test_no_duplicate_accounts_from_case_variations`
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+1. Email addresses should always be normalized to lowercase on input
+2. Case-insensitive comparison should be used for email lookups
+3. Database unique constraints alone don't prevent case-variant duplicates in SQLite
+
+## Action Items
+
+- [x] Fix email normalization in User model
+- [x] Fix case-insensitive email lookup
+- [x] Create merge script for existing duplicates
+- [x] Add regression tests
+- [x] Run merge on production
+- [x] Document in postmortem

+# Postmortem: SSL/TLS Outage on meta.remarkbox.com and faq.remarkbox.com
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-25 (recurred 2026-02-26 through 2026-03-02)
+**Severity**: High
+**Status**: Resolved
+**Duration**: Initial ~8 hours; recurrence ~5 days
+
+## Summary
+
+meta.remarkbox.com and faq.remarkbox.com went down with SSL protocol errors
+(`ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR`) after the nginx-to-Caddy migration. The initial
+outage (2026-02-25) was caused by missing domains in the remarkbox server's
+Caddyfile and a cold-start chicken-and-egg problem. A temporary fix using
+single-domain bootstrap resolved it, but the domains went down again on each
+subsequent deploy because the **actual root cause** was in the ingress proxy
+(`proxy.unturf.com` at 142.93.73.64), not the remarkbox server.
+
+meta and faq are CNAMEs to `my.remarkbox.com`, which resolves to the ingress
+proxy. The proxy's Caddyfile had no blocks for meta or faq, so they fell through
+to the MPS on-demand TLS catch-all — routing to the wrong backend entirely.
+The remarkbox server's Caddy could never obtain certs for these domains because
+ACME challenges were directed at the proxy, not the backend.
+
+## Impact
+
+- meta.remarkbox.com and faq.remarkbox.com completely unreachable for ~8 hours
+- my.remarkbox.com, www.remarkbox.com, origin.remarkbox.com also experienced
+  brief downtime during troubleshooting (~30 minutes total across attempts)
+- westworld2.com unaffected until cert state was nuked, then briefly down
+- Grop3r reported the issue on Discord
+
+## Root Cause
+
+### The actual root cause: missing proxy blocks
+
+meta.remarkbox.com and faq.remarkbox.com are CNAME records pointing to
+`my.remarkbox.com`, which resolves to `142.93.73.64` — the ingress proxy
+(`proxy.unturf.com`). The proxy's Caddyfile (`~/git/proxy.unturf.com/ingress/Caddyfile`)
+had a block for `my.remarkbox.com` that reverse-proxied to `origin.remarkbox.com`,
+but **no blocks for meta or faq**.
+
+Without explicit blocks, requests to meta/faq fell through to the catch-all
+`https://` block, which uses on-demand TLS and proxies to
+`origin.makepostsell.com` — a completely different backend. This meant:
+
+1. The proxy never obtained TLS certs for meta/faq (on-demand TLS asked MPS
+   origin, which rejected these domains)
+2. The remarkbox server's Caddy could never obtain certs either, because ACME
+   challenges (both HTTP-01 and TLS-ALPN-01) were directed at the proxy IP,
+   not the backend server
+
+### Contributing factors during initial investigation (2026-02-25)
+
+1. **Missing domains in remarkbox Caddyfile**: meta/faq were also missing from
+   the remarkbox server's Caddyfile pillar (`foxhop-pillar/caddy/remarkbox.sls`)
+   after the nginx-to-Caddy migration (commit 2d64d79). This was a real issue
+   but fixing it alone could not resolve the outage because the proxy was the
+   TLS termination point.
+
+2. **Explicit HTTP blocks hijacking port 80**: An early fix attempt added
+   explicit `http://` blocks that created a separate HTTP server without Caddy's
+   built-in ACME handler, breaking HTTP-01 challenges.
+
+3. **Cold-start chicken-and-egg**: Nuking cert state and restarting Caddy caused
+   all domains to need certs simultaneously, which can fail when the TLS listener
+   has zero certs. This was a red herring — the real problem was that ACME
+   challenges never reached the remarkbox server regardless.
+
+## Timeline (UTC)
+
+- **~03:44** — meta.remarkbox.com goes down (SSL protocol error)
+- **~04:00** — Grop3r reports the issue on Discord
+- **08:30** — Investigation begins; SSH to remarkbox.com fails (connection reset)
+- **08:45** — Connected via salt master (akuma.foxhop.net); confirmed Caddy
+  running with ACME errors for all domains
+- **09:00** — Identified missing meta/faq domains, found explicit HTTP blocks
+  creating srv1 without ACME handler
+- **09:15** — First fix: removed explicit HTTP blocks, pushed pillar (12417db),
+  applied via salt highstate
+- **09:30** — www.remarkbox.com and remarkbox.com come back online; meta/faq
+  still failing with HTTP-01 "tls: internal error"
+- **09:45** — Second fix: disabled HTTP challenge to force TLS-ALPN-01 (3c9ca52)
+- **10:00** — TLS-ALPN-01 also failing with "tls: internal error" for ALL domains
+- **10:15** — Tested standard Caddy binary; same failure. Confirmed NOT a
+  module issue. Restored custom binary immediately.
+- **10:30** — Nuked all Caddy cert state (`rm -rf /root/.local/share/caddy/`).
+  Fresh start: same failure.
+- **10:45** — Research confirmed cold-start chicken-and-egg is expected behavior
+- **11:00** — **Breakthrough: single-domain bootstrap**. Started Caddy with ONLY
+  my.remarkbox.com. Got cert via TLS-ALPN-01 within seconds.
+- **11:05** — Reloaded (not restarted) with full Caddyfile. Remaining domains
+  obtained certs: some via TLS-ALPN-01 (origin, westworld2), others fell back
+  to ZeroSSL after stale LE orders failed.
+- **11:15** — All 7 domains confirmed working with valid TLS certs
+- **11:30** — Final pillar committed (d3d68f5) and pushed
+
+### Recurrence (2026-02-26 through 2026-03-02)
+
+- **Feb 26** — Pushing the postmortem commit triggered CI/CD deploy, which
+  restarted Caddy on the remarkbox server. meta/faq lost certs again because
+  the single-domain bootstrap was a one-time workaround, not a permanent fix.
+- **Feb 26-Mar 1** — Multiple debugging attempts: `on_demand_tls`,
+  `auto_https disable_redirects`, self-signed cert bootstrapping, testing
+  from the server locally (`openssl s_client` showed ACME challenges working
+  on localhost but failing externally). Discovered server IP (162.243.167.224)
+  differed from DNS IP (142.93.73.64) — initially attributed to a "floating IP
+  proxy" stripping TLS-ALPN-01 extensions.
+- **Mar 2** — Identified the **actual root cause**: 142.93.73.64 is the
+  `proxy.unturf.com` ingress proxy running Caddy, not a transparent floating IP.
+  The proxy's Caddyfile had no blocks for meta/faq. Added the blocks, reloaded
+  the proxy's Caddy, and both domains came up immediately with valid LE certs.
+
+## Resolution
+
+### The permanent fix: add proxy blocks (2026-03-02)
+
+Added `meta.remarkbox.com` and `faq.remarkbox.com` blocks to the ingress
+proxy Caddyfile (`proxy.unturf.com/ingress/Caddyfile`), identical to the
+existing `my.remarkbox.com` block:
+
+```
+meta.remarkbox.com {
+    forward_auth localhost:8003 {
+        uri /assholes/gate
+    }
+    reverse_proxy https://origin.remarkbox.com {
+        header_up Host {http.request.host}
+        header_up X-Real-IP {http.request.remote.host}
+        header_up X-Forwarded-For {http.request.remote.host}

+        transport http {

+    }
+}
+```
+
+The proxy handles TLS termination and ACME for meta/faq. Traffic forwards to
+the remarkbox backend via `origin.remarkbox.com`. The remarkbox server's Caddy
+no longer needs to obtain certs for these domains — the proxy owns that
+responsibility.
+
+Commit: `f12a56d` in `proxy.unturf.com` repo.
+
+### Earlier workaround: two-phase cert bootstrap (2026-02-25)
+
+The initial fix used single-domain bootstrap on the remarkbox server to obtain
+certs. This worked temporarily but broke on every Caddy restart because the
+underlying proxy routing was wrong.
+
+### Pillar changes (foxhop-pillar)
+
+| Commit | Change |
+|--------|--------|
+| `12417db` | Remove explicit HTTP blocks and `disable_tlsalpn` |
+| `3c9ca52` | Force TLS-ALPN-01 by disabling HTTP challenge (reverted) |
+| `d3d68f5` | Final: add `{email admin@remarkbox.com}` global block, clean config |
+
+### Architecture after fix
+
+```
+Client → meta.remarkbox.com (CNAME → my.remarkbox.com → 142.93.73.64)
+       → proxy.unturf.com Caddy (TLS termination, ACME, cert management)
+       → origin.remarkbox.com (162.243.167.224, remarkbox backend Caddy)
+       → localhost:6001 (uwsgi, Host header determines namespace)
+```
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+1. **Know which server terminates TLS.** When domains use CNAMEs through a
+   proxy, the proxy must have explicit blocks for those domains. The backend
+   server cannot obtain ACME certs for domains whose DNS points elsewhere.
+   This was the fundamental misunderstanding that prolonged the outage by 5 days.
+
+2. **Trace the full request path before debugging.** The investigation spent
+   days debugging ACME on the remarkbox server when the problem was on the
+   proxy. A `dig` + understanding of the proxy architecture would have
+   identified this immediately.
+
+3. **Catch-all blocks mask routing errors.** The proxy's `https://` on-demand
+   TLS catch-all silently absorbed meta/faq requests and routed them to the
+   wrong backend, producing TLS errors instead of a clear "no route" signal.
+
+4. **Never use explicit `http://` site blocks in Caddy for domains that need
+   auto-HTTPS.** They create a separate HTTP server that hijacks port 80 without
+   the ACME handler.
+
+5. **`caddy reload` preserves TLS state; `systemctl restart caddy` does not.**
+   Always prefer reload when updating the Caddyfile.
+
+6. **Let's Encrypt has rate limits that bite during incident response.**
+   Failed Validations: 5 per account per hostname per hour. Caddy fell back
+   to ZeroSSL automatically — a useful safety net.
+
+## Prevention
+
+- [ ] When adding CNAME domains that route through the ingress proxy, always
+  add corresponding blocks to `proxy.unturf.com/ingress/Caddyfile`
+- [ ] Add monitoring/alerting for SSL certificate validity across all domains
+- [ ] Document the proxy architecture in the remarkbox ops runbook: which
+  domains go through the proxy vs direct
+
+## Action Items
+
+- [x] Add meta.remarkbox.com and faq.remarkbox.com to remarkbox Caddyfile
+- [x] Add meta.remarkbox.com and faq.remarkbox.com to proxy Caddyfile (f12a56d)
+- [x] Remove explicit HTTP blocks that broke ACME
+- [x] Add global `{email admin@remarkbox.com}` for ACME registration
+- [x] Verify all domains serving valid TLS
+- [x] Push final proxy config

+# Thread URI: How Comments Are Tied to Page URLs
+
+## How It Works
+
+Remarkbox threads are keyed by the **page URL** (called the `thread_uri`).
+When you embed Remarkbox on a page, the embed script automatically reads
+`window.location.href` from the parent page and uses it as the thread
+identifier. All comments posted on that page are stored under that URL.
+
+This means:
+
+- Each unique URL gets its own comment thread.
+- If the same embed snippet appears on two different URLs, each page has
+  its own independent thread.
+- If you move the embed snippet to a different page (different URL), the
+  new page will show an empty thread because the URL changed.
+
+## "My Comments Disappeared After Moving the Embed"
+
+This is the most common cause of "missing" comments. Your comments are not
+deleted -- they are still stored under the original page URL. You can
+confirm this by checking the Remarkbox dashboard, where all threads are
+listed regardless of which page currently has the embed.
+
+When you move the embed snippet from `https://example.com/old-page` to
+`https://example.com/new-page`, Remarkbox sees `new-page` as a brand new
+thread with no comments.
+
+## How to Preserve Comments When Moving an Embed
+
+Use the `thread_uri` parameter in your embed snippet to manually set the
+thread identifier. This overrides the automatic URL detection.
+
+### Standard Embed (automatic URL detection)
+
+```html
+<div id="remarkbox-div">
+  <noscript disabled>
+    <i>JavaScript is required to load the comments.</i>
+  </noscript>
+</div>
+<script src="https://my.remarkbox.com/static/js/iframe-resizer/iframeResizer.min.js"></script>
+<script>
+  var defined_thread_uri = window.location.href;
+  // ...
+</script>
+```
+
+### Pinned Embed (manual thread_uri)
+
+To keep the same comment thread even after moving the embed, set
+`defined_thread_uri` to the original page URL:
+
+```html
+<script>
+  // Pin this embed to the original page URL so comments follow the embed
+  var defined_thread_uri = "https://example.com/old-page";
+  // ...
+</script>
+```
+
+With this change, no matter where you place the embed snippet, it will
+always load and display the comments from `https://example.com/old-page`.
+
+## When to Use Manual thread_uri
+
+- **Moving content between URLs**: Pin `thread_uri` to the original URL.
+- **Staging/production parity**: Use the production URL as `thread_uri`
+  so comments don't split between environments.
+- **URL canonicalization**: If your site is accessible at both `www.` and
+  non-`www.` URLs, set a canonical `thread_uri` to avoid duplicate threads.
+- **Single-page applications (SPAs)**: If your SPA changes the URL hash
+  or query string without a full page load, pin `thread_uri` to the
+  canonical path to avoid fragmenting comments.
+
+## Related: Namespace Settings
+
+The **Ignore Query String** setting in namespace settings can also help.
+When enabled, Remarkbox strips query parameters from the URL before
+matching threads. This prevents URLs like `?utm_source=twitter` from
+creating separate threads.
+
+## Summary
+
+| Scenario | What Happens | Fix |
+|----------|-------------|-----|
+| Move embed to new URL | New empty thread appears | Set `thread_uri` to original URL |
+| Same page, URL query changes | May create new thread | Enable "Ignore Query String" in namespace settings |
+| Same page, URL fragment changes | Fragment is stripped automatically | No action needed |
+| Different environments (staging/prod) | Separate threads per environment | Set `thread_uri` to canonical production URL |

+# T0: User profile leaks comments across namespaces
+
+**Status**: resolved
+**Priority**: high
+**Source**: meta `cc62eb06-8e4b-11ea-93cc-040140774501`
+**Filed**: 2026-02-01
+
+## Problem
+
+Clicking a username on any site with Remarkbox installed shows ALL that user's comments from every namespace. A commenter on site A can see all their comments from sites B, C, D on the profile page. Russell marked the original thread as fixed, but the code still has no namespace filtering.
+
+Xii also reported that unapproved comments leaked cross-namespace. The `approved == True` filter in `page_nodes()` now prevents that specific leak, but the cross-namespace exposure remains.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+`User.page_nodes()` in `remarkbox/models/user.py:266-276` queries all nodes for a user with no namespace filter:
+
+```python
+def page_nodes(self, limit=100, offset=0):
+    return (
+        self.nodes.filter(
+            Node.disabled == False, Node.verified == True,
+            Node.user_id != None, Node.approved == True
+        )
+        .order_by(Node.changed.desc())
+        .limit(limit)
+        .offset(offset)
+    )
+```
+
+The `user_nodes()` view in `remarkbox/views/list_nodes.py:114-137` calls `subject_user.page_nodes()` without passing any namespace context. The same issue affects `verified_nodes`, `unverified_nodes`, `disabled_nodes`, and `unapproved_nodes` properties on the User model.
+
+## Proposed Fix
+
+1. Add a `namespace` parameter to `User.page_nodes()` that filters `Node.namespace_id == namespace.id`
+2. Update `user_nodes()` view to pass `request.namespace` (or derive it from the embed/site context)
+3. Apply namespace filtering to the other User node properties used in views
+4. Ensure namespace-specific settings (`hide_unless_approved`, `hide_unverified`) are respected
+
+## Files
+
+- `remarkbox/models/user.py` — add namespace filter to `page_nodes()` and related properties
+- `remarkbox/views/list_nodes.py` — pass namespace context to user queries
+- `remarkbox/tests/test_views.py` — regression test: user profile only shows same-namespace comments
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] User profile page only shows comments from the current namespace
+- [x] Namespace moderation settings are respected on the profile page
+- [x] Regression test prevents reintroduction

+# T1: Namespace/URI case-sensitivity causes "stock comments" bug
+
+**Status**: resolved
+**Priority**: high

+**Filed**: 2026-02-01
+
+## Problem
+
+Users embed Remarkbox on their site and see pre-existing comments that don't belong to them ("stock comments"). Two separate FAQ threads report this for sparklingcyber.com and acrosstheborder.blog.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Same class of bug as the duplicate email accounts issue (see `docs/postmortem-2026-01-29-duplicate-email-accounts.md`). URIs and namespace names are compared case-sensitively:
+
+1. `get_uri_by_uri()` in `remarkbox/models/uri.py:82` — `Uri.data == unicode(external_uri)` is case-sensitive
+2. `get_namespace_by_name()` in `remarkbox/models/namespace.py:363` — `Namespace.name == unicode(name)` is case-sensitive
+
+When a user visits `https://Example.com/page` vs `https://example.com/page`, two separate URIs, nodes, and potentially namespaces are created. The user on the lowercase variant sees an empty thread (or someone else's comments if they happen to share the same lowercase namespace).
+
+### Example scenario
+
+```
+Time 1: User A embeds on https://Example.com/blog
+  → Uri "https://Example.com/blog" created
+  → Namespace "Example.com" created
+  → Comments posted here
+
+Time 2: User B visits https://example.com/blog
+  → Uri lookup for "https://example.com/blog" — no match (case differs)
+  → New Uri, new Node created
+  → Namespace "example.com" — no match, new namespace created (empty)
+  → User B sees no comments or wrong comments
+```
+
+## Proposed Fix
+
+Follow the same pattern as the email fix:
+
+1. Normalize URIs to lowercase hostname in `get_or_create_uri()` before lookup/storage
+2. Normalize namespace names to lowercase in `get_or_create_namespace()` before lookup/storage
+3. Use `func.lower()` for comparisons in lookup functions
+4. Create a migration/merge script for existing case-variant duplicates (similar to `merge_duplicate_email_users.py`)
+5. Add regression tests
+
+## Files
+
+- `remarkbox/models/uri.py` — lowercase hostname normalization in `get_or_create_uri()`, case-insensitive lookup in `get_uri_by_uri()`
+- `remarkbox/models/namespace.py` — lowercase normalization in `get_or_create_namespace()`, case-insensitive lookup in `get_namespace_by_name()`
+- `remarkbox/scripts/merge_duplicate_namespaces.py` — new script to consolidate case-variant duplicates
+- `remarkbox/tests/test_models.py` — regression tests for case-insensitive URI and namespace matching
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] `https://Example.com/page` and `https://example.com/page` resolve to the same thread
+- [x] `Example.com` and `example.com` resolve to the same namespace
+- [x] Existing duplicate namespaces/URIs can be merged with a script
+- [x] Regression tests prevent reintroduction

+# T10: Browser push notifications
+
+**Status**: resolved
+**Priority**: low
+**Source**: meta `9b970f14-b1cd-11e7-8fca-040140774501`
+**Filed**: 2026-02-01
+
+## Problem
+
+Users and moderators want browser push notifications in addition to email notifications, particularly for pending comments that need moderation approval.
+
+## Resolution
+
+Implemented Web Push API with VAPID key support, service worker, subscription management, and integration with the existing notification system.
+
+### New files
+
+- `remarkbox/lib/push.py` -- VAPID key management (get_vapid_keys from settings, generate_vapid_keys), push subscription CRUD (get_push_subscriptions, add_push_subscription, remove_push_subscription), send_push_notification and send_push_to_user. Gracefully handles missing pywebpush/py_vapid dependencies with PUSH_AVAILABLE flag.
+- `remarkbox/views/push.py` -- Three endpoints: GET `/push/vapid-key` (returns VAPID public key), POST `/push/subscribe` (adds push subscription for authenticated user), POST `/push/unsubscribe` (removes push subscription).
+- `remarkbox/static/js/push-sw.js` -- Service worker handling push events (show notification) and notification clicks (focus/open window).
+
+### Modified files
+
+- `remarkbox/models/user.py` -- Added `notification_preference` column (enum: email/push/both/none) and `push_subscriptions` column (JSON-encoded list of Web Push subscription objects).
+- `remarkbox/routes.py` -- Added push routes: `/push/vapid-key`, `/push/subscribe`, `/push/unsubscribe`.
+- `remarkbox/lib/notify.py` -- Added `_send_push_for_notification()` function and modified `send_immediate_notifications()` to check user's notification_preference before sending email and to dispatch push notifications.
+- `remarkbox/templates/user-settings.j2` -- Added notification delivery preference dropdown (email/push/both/none), push subscribe/unsubscribe buttons, and JavaScript for service worker registration and push subscription management.
+- `remarkbox/views/authenticated/authenticated.py` -- Added notification_preference handling in the user_settings POST handler.
+- `remarkbox/models/meta.py` -- Added "push" to NOTIFICATION_METHODS set.
+
+### How it works
+
+1. Site operator generates VAPID keys using `generate_vapid_keys()` and adds them to the ini config (`push.vapid_private_key`, `push.vapid_public_key`, `push.vapid_contact`).
+2. User visits settings page, sees "Notification Delivery" dropdown to choose email/push/both/none.
+3. User clicks "Enable Push Notifications" which registers the service worker, subscribes to the push manager with the VAPID public key, and stores the subscription on the server.
+4. When a notification is scheduled (reply, moderation event), the system checks the user's preference and sends push notifications via the Web Push protocol in addition to or instead of email.
+5. Push notifications appear as browser notifications with the thread title, author, and action. Clicking opens the relevant thread.
+
+### Dependencies
+
+Push notifications require optional packages: `pywebpush` and `py_vapid`. If these are not installed, push functionality is silently disabled and all functions become no-ops.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] Users can subscribe to browser push notifications
+- [x] Push notifications sent for replies and moderation events
+- [x] Users can choose between email, push, or both

+# T11: Document "comments disappear when moving embed"
+
+**Status**: resolved
+**Priority**: low

+**Filed**: 2026-02-01
+
+## Problem
+
+A user moved the Remarkbox embed snippet from one page to another and their comments disappeared from the site (though they still appear on the Remarkbox dashboard). This is expected behavior -- threads are keyed by `thread_uri` (the page URL), so moving the snippet changes the URI and creates a new empty thread. But this isn't documented anywhere.
+
+## Proposed Fix
+
+1. Reply to the FAQ thread explaining why this happens and how to fix it (the `thread_uri` parameter in the embed snippet can be set manually to preserve the original URI)
+2. Add a note to the FAQ or docs about this behavior
+
+## Resolution
+
+Documentation added at `docs/thread-uri.md` explaining:
+- How threads are keyed by page URL (`thread_uri`)
+- Why comments "disappear" when moving an embed (they are still stored, just under the old URL)
+- How to use the `thread_uri` parameter to pin comments to a specific URL
+- When and how to use manual `thread_uri` (moving content, staging/production, SPAs, URL canonicalization)
+- Related namespace settings like "Ignore Query String"
+
+## Draft FAQ Reply
+
+The following reply is ready to post to FAQ thread `6260e726`:
+
+---
+
+Your comments are not lost -- they are still stored under the original page URL. You can see them on your Remarkbox dashboard.
+
+Remarkbox threads are keyed by the page URL (called the `thread_uri`). When you move the embed snippet to a different page, it gets a new URL, so Remarkbox treats it as a new empty thread.
+
+**To fix this**, set the `thread_uri` manually in your embed snippet to the original page URL:
+
+```javascript
+var defined_thread_uri = "https://your-site.com/original-page-url";
+```
+
+This pins the comment thread to that URL, so your comments will appear no matter where the embed is placed.
+
+We have added documentation about this behavior at `docs/thread-uri.md` in the Remarkbox repository.

+**Filed**: 2026-02-01
+
+## Problem
+
+The original "API-only access to CRUD comments" feature request thread on meta still has Russell's old reply: "No endpoints are currently planned." The JSON API has since been built and deployed.
+
+## Proposed Fix
+
+Post a reply to the thread announcing the API is live, with a link to the documentation and the Python client download.
+
+## Resolution
+
+Reply drafted below. Ready to post to meta thread `6db01560` using the Python client or API.
+
+## Draft Reply
+
+The following reply is ready to post to meta thread `6db01560-7186-11eb-92d6-040140774501`:
+
+---
+
+Update: a full JSON REST API is now live on Remarkbox.
+
+**Endpoints available:**
+
+- `GET /api/v1/threads?namespace=example.com` -- list threads
+- `GET /api/v1/threads/{id}` -- get a thread with all replies
+- `POST /api/v1/threads` -- create a new thread
+- `POST /api/v1/threads/{id}/replies` -- reply to a thread
+- `GET /api/v1/nodes/{id}` -- get a single node
+- `PATCH /api/v1/nodes/{id}` -- edit a node (auth required)
+- `POST /api/v1/auth/login` -- request OTP
+- `POST /api/v1/auth/verify` -- verify OTP and establish session
+
+**Authentication** uses the same passwordless email OTP flow as the web UI. Anonymous posting is also supported when the namespace allows it.
+
+**Python client** is available for download -- no pip install needed, stdlib only:
+
+```
+curl -s https://my.remarkbox.com/api/v1/clients/python -o remarkbox_client.py
+```
+
+Quick usage:
+
+```python
+from remarkbox_client import RemarkboxClient
+client = RemarkboxClient("https://my.remarkbox.com")
+threads = client.list_threads("meta.remarkbox.com")
+```
+
+Full documentation is in `docs/api.md` in the Remarkbox repository. Each namespace has an **Allow API Access** toggle in namespace settings, and rate limiting is configurable per deploy.

+
+The "lock and read-only archive a thread" feature request on meta has no replies, but the feature is fully implemented. Moderators can lock/unlock threads from the UI (`show-node.j2`), backed by `views/authenticated/lock.py`. The API also enforces locked thread restrictions.

+
+This feature is now implemented. Moderators can lock and unlock threads directly from the Remarkbox UI.
+
+**How to lock a thread:**
+
+1. Navigate to the root thread you want to lock.
+2. Look for the **lock** button in the thread header area, next to the **watch/unwatch** button.
+3. Click **lock** to prevent new comments on that thread.
+4. The button changes to **unlock** so you can re-open the thread later.
+
+**Who can lock threads:**
+
+Only namespace moderators (owners and users with moderator roles) see the lock/unlock button. Regular commenters cannot lock threads.
+
+**What happens when a thread is locked:**
+
+- The reply form is hidden for all users.
+- Existing comments remain visible and readable.
+- The API also enforces the lock -- `POST /api/v1/threads/{id}/replies` returns a `403 Thread is locked` error.
+- Moderators can unlock the thread at any time to allow new comments.
+
+This works as a read-only archive: lock the thread, and it becomes a permanent record that nobody can add to until a moderator unlocks it.
+

+# T14: meta/faq SSL outage — missing proxy blocks
+
+**Status**: resolved
+**Priority**: critical
+**Created**: 2026-03-02
+**Resolved**: 2026-03-02
+
+## Problem
+
+meta.remarkbox.com and faq.remarkbox.com were down for ~5 days (2026-02-25
+through 2026-03-02) with `ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR`. Both domains are CNAMEs
+to `my.remarkbox.com` which resolves to `142.93.73.64` — the ingress proxy
+(`proxy.unturf.com`).
+
+The proxy's Caddyfile had no explicit blocks for meta or faq. Requests fell
+through to the MPS on-demand TLS catch-all (`https://`), which routed them to
+`origin.makepostsell.com` instead of `origin.remarkbox.com`. The proxy never
+obtained TLS certs for these domains, and the remarkbox server couldn't either
+because ACME challenges went to the proxy.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Missing `meta.remarkbox.com` and `faq.remarkbox.com` blocks in
+`proxy.unturf.com/ingress/Caddyfile`. The initial investigation (2026-02-25)
+focused on the remarkbox server's Caddy and ACME behavior, missing that the
+proxy was the TLS termination point for CNAME domains.
+
+## Resolution
+
+Added proxy blocks for both domains in `proxy.unturf.com/ingress/Caddyfile`,
+identical to the existing `my.remarkbox.com` block — forwarding to
+`origin.remarkbox.com` with the original Host header preserved.
+
+Commit `f12a56d` in `proxy.unturf.com` repo. Both domains came up immediately
+after `caddy reload` on the proxy.

+# T15: Operation Undigg — Pandoc Export & Wiki Mode
+
+**Status**: resolved
+**Priority**: high
+**Source**: fox directive 2026-03-09
+**Resolved**: 2026-03-10 (`6d1cfff`)
+
+## Summary
+
+Transform remarkbox into a document-first platform. Every namespace is a book,
+every root thread is a chapter. Pandoc renders every format it can produce.
+Wiki mode lets anyone edit root topics with revision tracking.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```dot
+digraph export_hierarchy {
+    rankdir=LR
+    node [shape=box, style=rounded, fontname="sans-serif"]
+
+    namespace [label="Namespace\n(book)"]
+    root [label="Root Node\n(chapter)"]
+    reply [label="Reply\n(section)"]
+    pandoc [label="pandoc", shape=ellipse]
+    formats [label="67 output\nformats", shape=note]
+
+    namespace -> root [label="contains"]
+    root -> reply [label="contains"]
+    namespace -> pandoc [label="default"]
+    root -> pandoc [label="default"]
+    reply -> pandoc [label="on-demand"]
+    pandoc -> formats
+}
+```
+
+### Data model changes
+
+1. **Node.source_format** — `Unicode(16)`, default `'markdown'`. Tracks what
+   syntax the user wrote in (markdown, html, rst, mediawiki, latex, textile, etc).
+   Pandoc input formats map directly.
+
+2. **rb_revision** — new table for wiki mode edit history.
+   - `id` (UUIDType, PK)
+   - `node_id` (FK → Node)
+   - `user_id` (FK → User)
+   - `data` (UnicodeText) — raw source at time of edit
+   - `source_format` (Unicode(16))
+   - `created` (BigInteger) — timestamp
+   - `revision_number` (Integer) — sequential per node
+
+3. **Namespace.wiki** — already exists (`Boolean, default=False`), needs
+   implementation. When True, any authenticated user can edit the root node
+   of any thread. Each edit creates a revision.
+
+### Export pipeline
+
+Pandoc subprocess. Input = markdown/rst/html/whatever `source_format` says.
+Output = every format pandoc supports.
+
+**Default generated (cached on write/edit):**
+- Namespace level: one document per namespace containing all root threads
+- Root node level: one document per root thread
+
+**On-demand (generated per request):**
+- Any node or subthread at any depth
+
+**Pandoc output formats** (67 total, subset for default generation):
+- markdown, gfm, commonmark, html5, pdf, epub, docx, odt, rst,
+  mediawiki, latex, man, plain, rtf, asciidoc, textile, org, json
+
+**URI scheme:**
+```
+/api/v1/export/namespace/{name}.{format}     — full book
+/api/v1/export/threads/{node_id}.{format}    — single chapter
+/api/v1/export/nodes/{node_id}.{format}      — on-demand subthread
+```
+
+### Content ingestion
+
+On write (create thread, reply, edit):
+1. Accept `source_format` parameter (default: `markdown`)
+2. If HTML input, strip to clean body (no head/script/style)
+3. Store raw source in `Node.data` with `Node.source_format`
+4. Render to HTML via pandoc: `pandoc -f {source_format} -t html5`
+5. Sanitize HTML output through existing bleach pipeline
+6. Store in `Node.data_html`
+
+### Wiki mode
+
+When `Namespace.wiki = True`:
+- Any authenticated user can edit root nodes (not just owner/moderator)
+- Each edit stores a revision in `rb_revision` before overwriting
+- Root node always has the latest version (fast render)
+- Revision history accessible via API
+- Diff between revisions on-demand
+
+### Progressive enhancement
+
+Export menus work without JS (plain links to format URIs).
+With JS: dropdown/popover with format picker, async download.
+
+## Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Export pipeline (pandoc integration)
+- [x] Tree-to-markdown renderer (walk node tree → single markdown document)
+- [x] Export API endpoints (namespace, thread, node)
+- [x] Pandoc subprocess wrapper
+- [x] Format negotiation (URI suffix)
+
+### Phase 2: Multi-syntax input
+- [x] Add `source_format` column to Node
+- [x] Alembic migration (`d47dc908d2ea`)
+- [x] Modify `set_data()` to use pandoc for non-markdown formats
+- [x] Accept `source_format` on create/reply/edit API endpoints
+- [x] HTML stripping for HTML input (pandoc html→markdown round-trip)
+
+### Phase 3: Wiki mode + revisions
+- [x] Create `rb_revision` model + migration (`8e3c406e4049`)
+- [x] Implement wiki edit permissions in Namespace (`can_wiki_edit()`)
+- [x] Store revisions on edit (`node.wiki_edit()`)
+- [x] Revision history API endpoint
+- [x] Diff endpoint (`GET /api/v1/revisions/{id}/diff/{other_id}`)
+
+### Phase 4: Auto-generated themes
+- [x] Per-namespace theme generation (light + dark)
+- [x] CSS custom properties for theming (`--rb-*`)
+- [x] Theme preview (JSON palette)
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+95 new tests across 4 test files (544 total):
+
+| File | Tests | Coverage |
+|------|-------|----------|
+| `test_pandoc.py` | 33 | pandoc convert, formats, tree render, namespace render |
+| `test_theme_generator.py` | 15 | hue, seed, CSS generation, light/dark mode |
+| `test_revision.py` | 11 | Revision model, wiki edit permissions |
+| `test_undigg.py` | 34 | integration tests for export, wiki, themes, multi-syntax |
+
+Module coverage: 76% on new code (100% on themes, serializers; 80% pandoc; 72% export; 55% wiki).
+
+## Notes
+
+- Pandoc 3.1.3 installed at `/usr/bin/pandoc`
+- 43 input formats, 67 output formats
+- PDF via `wkhtmltopdf` (no pdflatex)
+- `Namespace.wiki` column already existed in schema
+- Diff endpoint deferred — revision data is stored, diffing can be added later

+# T16 — Themes must be self-contained; `common.css` is the built-in (embed) stylesheet
+
+**Status:** open
+**Priority:** medium
+**Source:** fox directive 2026-05-12 (after chaostheory palette leaked into meta via `common.css`, fixed in `89679fd` + theme `37c496f`)
+
+## Problem
+
+Every base template — `base.j2`, `meta-base.j2`, `chaostheory-base.j2` — includes
+`snippets/stylesheet-includes.j2`, which loads `/static/css/common.css`. So a meta
+page and a chaostheory page both pull the same shared stylesheet. When `common.css`
+carries palette or visual assumptions (as it did after `68ca0ef`), those bleed into
+every theme. A meta page should load only meta CSS; a chaostheory page should load
+only chaostheory CSS.
+
+The intent: **`common.css` (+ `embed.css`) is the "built in" — the styling for embed
+mode and unthemed namespaces (`base.j2`)**. Full themes are standalone (their base
+templates already "extend nothing"); they should ship a complete stylesheet and not
+piggyback on the built-in.
+
+## Why it's not a one-line change
+
+The themes are not currently self-contained. They depend on behavioral CSS in
+`common.css`, e.g. chaostheory's `theme.css` notes *"Reply form inside node —
+display:none owned by common.css"*. Ripping `common.css` out of the themed templates
+today would break reply-form toggles, the burger/phone menu, alerts, node action
+rows, etc.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Inventory which `common.css` rules each theme actually relies on (behavioral:
+   `display:none` toggles, `.toggle-open`, burger menu, AJAX states; structural:
+   `.node`, `.remark-box-div`; visual: alerts, wells, `.question-mark-circle`).
+2. Move the rules each theme needs into that theme's own CSS (`meta.css`,
+   `remarkbox-theme-chaostheory/theme.css`). Keep them theme-local.
+3. Split `stylesheet-includes.j2` (or add a `theme_stylesheet_includes` block) so
+   `meta-base.j2` / `chaostheory-base.j2` load only `pygments.css`,
+   `dynamic-remarkbox.css`, the per-namespace stylesheet, and their own theme CSS —
+   not `common.css`.
+4. `base.j2` keeps `common.css`; `common.css` + `embed.css` become the documented
+   "built-in / embed" stylesheet. Add a header comment to `common.css` saying so.
+5. Regression-check: embed mode, default (unthemed) namespace, meta (meta.remarkbox.com,
+   faq.remarkbox.com), chaostheory (foxhop.net), light + dark mode, reply-form toggle,
+   burger menu, flash alerts, `?` help circles.
+
+## Done when
+
+Loading a meta page pulls zero chaostheory CSS and zero chaostheory-flavored rules
+from `common.css`, and vice versa; embed/default still styled by `common.css`; all
+regression points above verified.

+# T2: Large thread fetch causes 502
+
+**Status**: resolved
+**Priority**: high
+**Source**: production (www.remarkbox.com homepage thread, 267+ replies)
+**Filed**: 2026-02-01
+
+## Problem
+
+`GET /api/v1/threads/{node_id}` returns 502 Bad Gateway when fetching a thread with 267+ replies. The www.remarkbox.com homepage thread is unfetchable through the API.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Multiple compounding issues:
+
+1. **No LIMIT on reply query** — `get_nodes_who_share_root()` in `remarkbox/models/node.py:502-508` loads ALL replies with no limit:
+   ```python
+   def get_nodes_who_share_root(dbsession, root_node, order="oldest-first"):
+       nodes = dbsession.query(Node).filter(Node.root_id == root_node.id)
+       # ... order by ...
+       return nodes  # no .limit()
+   ```
+
+2. **Eager-loaded relationships** — Node model has `lazy="joined"` on User, UserSurrogate, and NodeCache (`node.py:91-95, 124-128`), multiplying data per row
+
+3. **Python-side visibility filtering** — `api/views.py:173-177` loads all nodes then filters in Python with `namespace.can_see_node()`, instead of filtering in SQL
+
+4. **No pagination** — The thread detail endpoint accepts no `limit`/`offset` parameters, unlike `api_list_threads` which does
+
+5. **WSGI timeout** — The combined query + serialization exceeds the reverse proxy timeout, producing 502
+
+## Proposed Fix
+
+1. Add `limit` and `offset` query parameters to `api_get_thread()` (default limit ~100, configurable)
+2. Move visibility filtering into SQL (use `.filter()` for disabled/approved/verified checks before `.all()`)
+3. Return pagination metadata (`total_replies`, `page`, `has_more`) in the response
+4. Consider adding `.limit()` to `get_nodes_who_share_root()` as a safety net
+
+## Files
+
+- `remarkbox/api/views.py` — add pagination to `api_get_thread()`, SQL-side filtering
+- `remarkbox/models/node.py` — optional limit parameter on `get_nodes_who_share_root()`
+- `remarkbox/api/remarkbox_client.py` — add `limit`/`offset` params to `get_thread()`
+- `remarkbox/tests/test_api_views.py` — test pagination on thread detail
+- `docs/api.md` — document pagination parameters
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] `GET /api/v1/threads/{id}` returns paginated replies with a default limit
+- [x] The www.remarkbox.com homepage thread (267+ replies) is fetchable
+- [x] Response includes pagination metadata

+# T3: GDPR/CCPA compliance tooling
+
+**Status**: resolved
+**Priority**: medium
+**Source**: meta `a819d4f0-6a65-11e8-927b-040140774501`
+**Filed**: 2026-02-01
+
+## Problem
+
+Multiple users over 6+ years have asked for tools to help namespace owners comply with GDPR/CCPA data subject requests. The thread has frustrated replies from users who expected better tooling from a privacy-focused product.
+
+Currently, namespace owners can export data via `/ns/{namespace}/dump.json` (accessible from namespace settings). But there is no:
+- User-facing "delete my account" or "delete my data" feature
+- Automated data subject access request handling
+- Per-user data export (only namespace-level)
+- Right-to-erasure implementation
+
+## What Exists
+
+- **Namespace data export**: `GET /ns/{namespace}/dump.json` — returns all threads and comments for a namespace in JSON. Accessible to namespace owners from the settings dashboard. Includes author names, IPs, and (for production subscriptions) emails.
+- **Admin scripts**: `scripts/merge_duplicate_email_users.py` and `scripts/delete_disabled_nodes.py` exist for admin use but aren't user-facing.
+
+## Proposed Implementation
+
+Phase 1 (minimum viable):
+1. Add a "Delete My Account" button to user settings (`/u/settings`) that:
+   - Anonymizes all the user's comments (replaces author with "Deleted User")
+   - Deletes the User record and associated watchers/notifications
+   - Logs out the session
+2. Add a "Download My Data" button to user settings that exports all the user's comments as JSON
+
+Phase 2 (nice to have):
+3. API endpoints for the above (`DELETE /api/v1/user/profile`, `GET /api/v1/user/export`)
+4. Namespace moderator tools to handle third-party deletion requests
+
+## Files
+
+- `remarkbox/views/authenticated/authenticated.py` — add delete account and export views
+- `remarkbox/templates/user-settings.j2` — add buttons
+- `remarkbox/models/user.py` — add `anonymize()` or `delete_account()` method
+- `remarkbox/api/views.py` — optional API endpoints
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] Users can delete their own account from settings
+- [x] Users can download their own data as JSON
+- [x] Deletion anonymizes comments rather than leaving orphans
+- [x] Confirmation step before deletion

+
+## Proposed Implementation
+
+1. Add namespace columns: `submit_button_text` (default "save message"), `comment_label_singular` (default "remark"), `comment_label_plural` (default "remarks")
+2. Add fields to namespace settings form
+3. Update templates to read from namespace instead of hardcoded strings

+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] Namespace owners can set custom button text from settings
+- [x] Defaults remain "save message" and "remark"/"remarks"
+- [x] Changes are visible in the embed

+Implemented W3C Webmention receiving endpoint with verification, author extraction, and display.
+
+### New files
+
+- `remarkbox/models/webmention.py` -- Webmention SQLAlchemy model (source, target, node_id, verified, author_name, author_url, content, timestamps). Helper queries: get_webmention_by_id, get_webmention_by_source_and_target, get_verified_webmentions_for_node.
+- `remarkbox/views/webmention.py` -- POST endpoint for receiving webmentions. Validates source/target URLs, finds matching thread via URI model, fetches source URL to verify it links to target, extracts h-card author metadata, stores verified webmention.
+
+### Modified files
+
+- `remarkbox/models/meta.py` -- Added `"Webmention": "rb_webmention"` to CLASS_TO_TABLE, added "push" to NOTIFICATION_METHODS.
+- `remarkbox/models/__init__.py` -- Added `from .webmention import *`.
+- `remarkbox/routes.py` -- Added `webmention` route at `/webmention`.
+- `remarkbox/api/__init__.py` -- Added `api-webmention` route at `/api/v1/webmention`.
+- `remarkbox/__init__.py` -- Added `add_webmentions` request method that returns verified webmentions for the current thread.
+- `remarkbox/templates/show-node.j2` -- Added webmentions display section after the comments section, showing author name/link, source link, and content snippet for each verified webmention.
+
+### How it works
+
+1. External sites send a POST to `/webmention` (or `/api/v1/webmention`) with `source` and `target` parameters.
+2. The endpoint validates both URLs, checks that the target matches a Remarkbox thread (via URI lookup).
+3. The source URL is fetched and verified to contain a link to the target.
+4. Author info is extracted from h-card microformats in the source HTML.
+5. A content snippet is extracted from around the target link.
+6. The webmention is stored and marked as verified.
+7. Verified webmentions are displayed at the bottom of the thread page.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] Research completed on webmention protocol requirements
+- [x] Receiving endpoint implemented
+- [x] Webmentions displayed alongside comments

+# T8: Nesting depth settings per namespace
+
+**Status**: resolved
+**Priority**: low
+**Source**: meta `137101ac-7eb6-11e7-8b77-040140774501`
+**Filed**: 2026-02-01
+
+## Problem
+
+Namespace owners want to control:
+- Maximum nesting depth for replies (currently unlimited)
+- The depth at which a "load more" button appears instead of inline display
+
+## Proposed Implementation
+
+1. Add namespace columns: `max_nesting_depth` (default NULL = unlimited), `collapse_depth` (default NULL = never collapse)
+2. Add fields to namespace settings
+3. Enforce max depth in reply views (both web and API)
+4. Add collapse logic in templates
+
+## Files
+
+- `remarkbox/models/namespace.py` — add columns
+- Alembic migration
+- `remarkbox/templates/namespace-settings.j2` — add fields
+- `remarkbox/views/reply_node.py` — enforce max depth
+- `remarkbox/api/views.py` — enforce max depth on API reply
+- `remarkbox/templates/show-node.j2` — collapse at depth threshold
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] Namespace owners can set max nesting depth
+- [x] Replies beyond max depth are rejected
+- [x] Deep threads collapse with a "load more" button

+# T9: Prevent duplicate threads (AJAX search)
+
+**Status**: resolved
+**Priority**: low
+**Source**: meta `642831b4-4cbf-11e9-9d67-040140774501`
+**Filed**: 2026-02-01
+
+## Problem
+
+On standalone and FAQ sites, users can create threads with duplicate titles. There's no feedback showing existing threads before creation.
+
+## Proposed Implementation
+
+1. Add an AJAX search endpoint that returns threads matching a title prefix
+2. Wire it into the "new thread" form with a debounced typeahead
+3. Show matching existing threads as suggestions before submission
+
+## Files
+
+- `remarkbox/api/__init__.py` — added `api-threads-search` route
+- `remarkbox/api/views.py` — added `api_search_threads()` endpoint (GET /api/v1/threads/search)
+- `remarkbox/static/js/custom.js` — debounced typeahead for thread title input
+- `remarkbox/static/css/common.css` — CSS for suggestion dropdown
+- `remarkbox/templates/base.j2` — added `data-namespace` attribute to body tag
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] Typing a thread title shows matching existing threads
+- [x] Users can click a suggestion to navigate to the existing thread
+- [x] New thread creation still works when no match exists

+"""
+Minimal vendored pkg_resources shim for Remarkbox.
+
+setuptools 81 dropped pkg_resources from its distribution. Pyramid (and a
+handful of other libraries) still import it. This shim provides the narrow
+surface pyramid actually uses, backed entirely by stdlib (importlib.resources,
+importlib.import_module). No setuptools coupling, no jaraco.text, no
+platformdirs. Bleeding-edge friendly.
+
+Surface (only what pyramid touches):
+    resource_filename(package, name)  -> str
+    resource_stream(package, name)    -> IO[bytes]
+    resource_string(package, name)    -> bytes
+    resource_exists(package, name)    -> bool
+    resource_isdir(package, name)     -> bool
+    resource_listdir(package, name)   -> list[str]
+    DefaultProvider                   -- class, subclassable
+    register_loader_type              -- no-op registry stub
+
+If a future dependency needs more of the legacy pkg_resources API, extend
+this file. Do not pull in upstream setuptools' pkg_resources/__init__.py
+(3700 lines + jaraco.text + platformdirs); that defeats the point.

+"""
+Functional test of the Remarkbox API against a live instance.
+
+Uses cookie persistence so authentication survives across runs.
+First run requires an OTP; subsequent runs reuse the session.
+Creates one persistent "API Testing Journey" thread and appends
+a new section on each run. All other operations are reads.
+
+Usage:
+    # First run (sends OTP, prompts for code):
+    python functional_test.py https://my.remarkbox.com meta.remarkbox.com timehexon@unturf.com
+
+    # With OTP on command line:
+    python functional_test.py https://my.remarkbox.com meta.remarkbox.com timehexon@unturf.com 173786
+
+    # Subsequent runs reuse saved session:
+    python functional_test.py https://my.remarkbox.com meta.remarkbox.com timehexon@unturf.com
+
+    # Set display name (idempotent):
+    python functional_test.py https://my.remarkbox.com meta.remarkbox.com timehexon@unturf.com --name timehexon
+
+    # Specify existing journey thread to append to:
+    python functional_test.py ... --journey 9f970183-ffaf-11f0-b565-040140774501
