63853b7923 test(themes): generate theme CSS from registry, not the gitignored file (#4599)
The theme tests' themes_css_content fixtures read static/css/themes.css
directly, but that file is auto-generated and gitignored (PR #3400). On a
fresh checkout / in CI it is absent, so the tests errored with
FileNotFoundError (or failed --bg-primary extraction against a separately
built copy, e.g. the sepia light-theme assertion that was red on every
PR). Switch all themes_css_content fixtures to _generate_combined_css()
(the theme registry — the single source of truth the app actually serves,
already used by TestThemeDefinitions). Verified: full theme suite passes
(155) with static/css/themes.css absent.

6d94587f01 fix(settings): fix text_separators JSON decoding, add UI validation and fallback handling (#4231)
* fix(settings): fix text_separators JSON decoding, add UI validation and fallback handling

* test(settings): cover #4230 corrupt-input recovery; drop unrelated whitelist entries

- Add a test that feeds str(list) Python-repr corruption (the exact
  shape produced by the prior bug) and asserts ast.literal_eval recovers
  a list whose first element is a *real* newline character (ord == 10),
  not a literal backslash-n sequence.
- Revert two unrelated KNOWN_MISSING_DEFAULTS additions
  (embeddings.ollama.num_ctx, web.enable_javascript_rendering): the
  integrity test passes without them, so they belong to a separate
  scope-limited change.

* fix: Use Loguru brace formatting instead of printf-style

* some fixes, cleanups

* refactor: extract default local search text separators to global constants

* refactor: use global default separators constants in test files

* remove an initial fix, some linting and formatting

* test: add helper unit tests for text separator parsing

* fix(settings): restore null-guard on text_separators load else branch

The PR's new text-separators load branch stringifies the value in the
else path. Guard it with `settings.text_separators != null` so a null
or undefined value never writes the literal string "null" into the
textarea, leaving the field empty instead.

* fix(settings): drop runtime text_separators healing; rely on migration #4298

Per djpetti's CHANGES_REQUESTED on #4231, the healing of corrupted
local_search_text_separators DB rows should be a migration, not on-the-fly
runtime recovery. Migration #4298 ("0010 heal local_search_text_separators
Python-repr rows") already heals the existing corrupt data, so the runtime
recovery code is now dead and is removed:

- settings/manager.py: remove the heal-on-write block in
  get_typed_setting_value that self-upgraded a list/dict value stored with
  ui_element="text" to "json" (djpetti seconded removing this at
  manager.py:131). _infer_ui_element is still used elsewhere and is kept.

- research_library/routes/rag_routes.py: in _get_text_separators, drop the
  ast.literal_eval recovery branch and the "keep raw value for UI
  validation" path. A value that is not valid JSON now falls back to
  DEFAULT_LOCAL_SEARCH_TEXT_SEPARATORS (graceful default, not healing). The
  local `import ast` is gone. configure_rag's write path is unchanged in
  behavior; only its now-misleading "type healing" comment is corrected.

- research_library/services/rag_service_factory.py: in
  _get_default_text_separators, drop the same ast.literal_eval branch; a
  non-JSON string falls back to the defaults, and the final non-list guard
  still applies.

KEPT: the accepted forward fix — storing/handling separators as proper JSON,
the json.loads happy path, passing through actual list values, the
DEFAULT_LOCAL_SEARCH_TEXT_SEPARATORS[_JSON] constants, and the JS UI
validation/load handling.

Tests: removed the two manager tests asserting the text->json self-upgrade;
converted the ast-recovery tests (rag_routes, gaps_coverage, factory) to
assert the new graceful default-fallback for corrupt/Python-repr values.

e0bd258c1e test(ui-tests): real assertions for 10 settings-interaction tests (dead-field audit PR 1) (#4589)
* test(ui-tests): real assertions for 10 settings-interaction tests

Rewrites the dead-field settings tests in test_settings_interactions_ci.js
flagged by the dead-field audit. Each previously skipped permanently or
weakly/always-passed because it probed stale/wrong selectors and never waited
for the client-side render.

The dashboard renders #settings-content asynchronously from GET /settings/api,
so every test now waits for '#settings-content .ldr-settings-item' before
asserting the real selectors (components/settings_form.html) and handlers
(components/settings.js):
- search filtering: filtered subset shrinks on no-match and restores on clear
- tab navigation: clicking .ldr-settings-tab[data-tab=llm] gains .active (+ re-render)
- specific tabs: assert the real data-tab set (llm/search/report/app/notifications)
- text/number/checkbox/select: assert real .ldr-settings-* control selectors
- toggle works: click a real .ldr-settings-checkbox and assert checked flips
- auto-save: assert .ldr-save-success after changing a setting
- descriptions: assert non-empty .ldr-input-help

Source-verified against the templates + settings.js. Not yet executed in CI:
the settings-core shard is label-gated (needs a test:ui-full-shards run).

* test(ui-tests): harden settings tests per review (clear-input, tab re-render, autosave readability)

Addresses the non-blocking review recommendations on #4589:
- settingsSearchFiltering: clear the search via $eval value='' + dispatch
  'input' (portable across headless targets) instead of triple-click+Backspace;
  comment the intentional waitForFunction .catch.
- tabNavigationWorks: assert the 'all' tab is the active default up front, and
  require the rendered item set to SHRINK on switch to 'llm' (llm is a strict
  subset of all) — a deterministic 'content actually re-rendered' check that
  avoids the first-200-chars false-fail the reviewer flagged.
- autoSaveFunctionality: flip to sawSuccess=false default for readability.

Left the 'known-safe toggle' suggestion: boolean-setting saves don't hit
validation, and a real label CI run is the right place to surface any flake.

* fix(ui-tests): dropdownSelectSettings accepts custom dropdowns (settings-core shard fix)

The settings-core shard failed on this test: it asserted
select.ldr-settings-select, but the default config's dropdown settings
(llm.provider / llm.model / search.tool) render as custom .ldr-custom-dropdown
widgets (components/custom_dropdown.html) — so #settings-content has zero plain
<select>. Assert the real dropdown controls (custom-dropdown OR plain <select>,
with options required only for a plain select).

Verified locally against a running server: 17/17 settings-interaction tests now
pass (was 16/17); #settings-content has 2 custom-dropdowns and 0 plain selects.

c65d59a65f fix(security): resolve open code-scanning alerts (pypdf DoS, exception exposure, migration SQL, Actions injection, devskim FP) (#4601)
* fix(deps): bump pypdf to ~=6.12 to patch DoS advisories

pypdf 6.10.2 is vulnerable to two DoS issues (GHSA-248m-82v9-q6g6,
GHSA-cj93-chg6-vgv8), both fixed in 6.12.0. pypdf is a direct,
actively-used dependency that parses untrusted remote PDFs (arXiv and
research-library downloaders), so the DoS path is reachable.

Widen the pin to ~=6.12 and re-lock (reuse strategy) -> pypdf 6.13.2.
Only pypdf moves in the lockfile.

* fix(rag): stop leaking raw exception detail to clients

CodeQL #7864 flagged information exposure via exception text in the
test-embedding handler. That path is already sanitized+logged, but two
sibling paths leaked raw str(e) to the browser:

- SSE doc-error stream (yielded straight to the client)
- background-index task error stored in DB and returned by the
  index-status endpoint

Wrap both in sanitize_error_message(). Also drop the raw 'Detail:' from
the internal-LDR error branch, which can carry paths/SQL the
pattern-based sanitizer won't catch (full trace stays in server logs).

* fix(migrations): add bearer suppression for static-table SQL in 0013

Bearer #7868-#7871 flag f-string SQL in 0013, but the only interpolated
value is a table name bound to a hardcoded literal tuple
("benchmark_runs"/"benchmark_configs") - identifiers can't be bind
params. Sibling migration 0008 carries the same SQL with a
'# bearer:disable python_lang_sql_injection' directive; 0013 only had
the noqa half. Add the matching directive.

* fix(ci): use env-var indirection in ai-code-reviewer

zizmor #7865 (template-injection): three GitHub-context expressions are
inlined into run: blocks. Move github.event.action into the step env as
EVENT_ACTION and reference the already-defined PR_NUMBER/REPO_FULL_NAME
env vars instead of re-inlining ${{ ... }}, matching the BASE_REF
pattern this workflow already uses.

* test(chat): reword docstring to clear devskim FP #7874

DevSkim's certificate-validation rule matched the word 'encrypted' in a
test docstring; the file has no TLS code at all. Reword to 'plaintext
(no-SQLCipher)' to clear the false positive without polluting the
docstring with an inline suppression.

a761417b6d refactor: remove redundant per-site <think>-stripping; rely on central wrapper (#4343)
Now that #4342 makes ProcessingLLMWrapper strip <think> tags and normalize shape for
every get_llm LLM, the scattered per-site stripping is redundant and (per the project's
'fix bugs, don't add fallbacks' principle) hides bugs / hurts debugging. Removed ~25
redundant remove_think_tags(<fresh-invoke>.content) calls -> direct .content across:
8 search strategies (adaptive/recursive/smart decomposition, browsecomp_optimized,
evidence_based v1+v2, iterative_reasoning, constrained_search), constraint_analyzer,
evidence/evaluator, followup_context_manager, research_functions; and reverted #4336's
get_llm_response_text routing in synthesize_findings (restored its original shape-guard)
and standard_knowledge.

Kept (load-bearing, NOT redundant): the citation BaseCitationHandler._invoke_text helper
(handles injected/test LLMs), the empty-answer guards (real regression fix — now log a
warning so the fallback is visible), the get_llm_response_text normalizer at injected/
varied-input sites (filters, search engines, news), and the agent/bind_tools paths that
bypass the wrapper.

Added a 'single authorized strip point' note to ProcessingLLMWrapper._normalize_response
and remove_think_tags so devs don't re-scatter stripping. Verified the wrap-invariant
(all get_llm paths wrap; only mcp/langgraph bind_tools bypass) before removing.

mypy 552 clean; ruff clean; 3818 passed across 145 LLM-layer test files.

bc6a11800f fix(models): use_alter on ResearchResource.document_id to break circular FK (#3776)
Documents and ResearchResource have bidirectional FKs:
  - Document.resource_id → research_resources.id
  - ResearchResource.document_id → documents.id

SQLAlchemy can't topologically sort the two tables and emits a
SAWarning on every Base.metadata.sorted_tables iteration:

    SAWarning: Cannot correctly sort tables; there are unresolvable
    cycles between tables "documents, research_resources"

This has been firing on every cold start of the migration runner
since v1.4.0 (2026-03-25). Cosmetic but noisy.

Fix: declare ResearchResource.document_id with use_alter=True and a
deterministic constraint name. SQLAlchemy then emits this one FK as a
post-CREATE ALTER TABLE rather than inline, which breaks the
dependency cycle for ordering purposes while still creating the
constraint at the database level.

Migration 0005 already chose not to enforce this FK at the DB level on
existing DBs (SQLite batch-alter limitation in 2026-04), so this only
changes how create_all() emits the FK for fresh installs going forward.
No migration is needed for existing DBs.

Adds a regression test that asserts create_all() no longer emits the
circular-FK SAWarning.

Bumps to 1.6.10 (stacks behind #3772 which uses 1.6.9).

d850343306 fix(metrics): drive rate-limiting analytics from RateLimitEstimate (dead panel) (#4576)
* fix(metrics): drive rate-limiting analytics from RateLimitEstimate

The /metrics rate-limiting panel read everything from the RateLimitAttempt
table, but production code stopped writing that table in commit fef359be9
('disable rate limit DB writes to prevent database locking'). Since then
the panel has shown all zeros for every user — the per-engine loop was
even gated on a distinct-engine query against the empty table, so the
RateLimitEstimate data it tried to read was never reached.

Rewrite get_rate_limiting_analytics to read RateLimitEstimate (the learned
per-engine wait-time model that IS persisted): tracked engines, per-engine
base/min/max wait, success rate, health status, recent attempt counts, and
last-updated all come from estimates now. Limitations documented in code:
total_attempts reflects each engine's recent rolling window (not lifetime),
rate_limit_events can't be reconstructed (reported as 0), recency filter
uses each estimate's last_updated.

Removes the now-unused RateLimitAttempt import and dead attempt test helper;
rewrites the analytics test to assert real estimate-driven output plus an
empty-state test.

* docs(changelog): add fragment for rate-limiting analytics fix (#4576)

* test(metrics): strengthen last_updated assertion in rate-limiting test

The previous 'last_updated != "Never"' assertion is now always true
(the rewrite dropped the 'Never' sentinel — every estimate has a real
last_updated). Parse it as an ISO-8601 timestamp instead, so the test
actually verifies the formatted value. (Review nit from the multi-agent
review of #4576.)

* test(metrics): align rate-limiting analytics tests with estimate-driven impl

The TestGetRateLimitingAnalytics class in test_metrics_strategy_rate_limiting.py
was still written against the old RateLimitAttempt-based implementation (mocking
three sequential .all() calls and raw per-attempt aggregation). The rewrite to
derive analytics from RateLimitEstimate makes a single estimates .all() call, so
the mock attempts lacked estimate fields, the function hit its except path, and
8 tests failed with 'assert 0 == N' or IndexError on empty engine_stats.

- Rewrite the 8 stale tests to drive aggregates, health status, and counts from
  RateLimitEstimate, matching the equivalent class already updated in
  test_metrics_routes_coverage.py.
- rate_limit_events / recent-rate fallback no longer exist: assert events stay 0
  and repurpose the fallback test into a strict-threshold boundary test.
- Drop the now-dead _make_attempt helper.

* test(metrics): verify recency filter + exact last_updated (AI review)

Address actionable items from the AI code review on #4576:

- Add explicit coverage for the recency filter, which the existing mocks
  left as a no-op: assert period='all' never filters the estimates query,
  and that a bounded period applies RateLimitEstimate.last_updated >= cutoff
  with the correct bound value (inspects the real SQLAlchemy criterion).
- Tighten the last_updated assertion in test_metrics_routes_coverage.py from
  a loose year>=2020 check to an exact ISO round-trip against a fixed epoch.
- Drop leftover dead mock setup (distinct/count/scalar) from the two
  remaining estimate-driven tests.

Not adopted (with rationale): a defensive last_updated==0 guard (the column
is nullable=False and always set to time.time() — guarding an unreachable
state would be a fallback for a non-existent case); frontend tooltip and
health-status helper extraction (out of scope / YAGNI per the reviewer).

e7eb3bd574 feat(dev): add run_test_instance.sh launcher for a disposable LDR dev server (#4382)
* feat(dev): add run_test_instance.sh launcher for a disposable LDR dev server

Sets LDR_DATA_DIR to a temp directory before exec'ing restart_server.sh,
so the dev server's encrypted user DBs, auth DB, library, logs, and
research_outputs all land outside ~/.local/share/local-deep-research and
can be wiped in one shot.

Usage:
  scripts/dev/run_test_instance.sh           # start (existing test data kept)
  scripts/dev/run_test_instance.sh --reset   # wipe the test data dir first
  LDR_DATA_DIR=$HOME/ldr-test scripts/dev/run_test_instance.sh   # override path

Defaults LDR_DATA_DIR=/tmp/ldr-test (often tmpfs → wiped on reboot for
free). --reset refuses to rm empty/'/'/$HOME so a misconfigured env var
can't turn the flag into deleting a real location. Verified locally:
safety guard rejects $HOME (exit 1), unknown arg prints usage (exit 2),
--reset on a sandbox path wipes only that path.

Solves the problem of accumulated test-instance DBs (~19 GB observed)
without any code change — config/paths.py already honors LDR_DATA_DIR.
CI is unaffected: tests already isolate via per-test tmp_path fixtures
that monkeypatch.setenv LDR_DATA_DIR.

* harden run_test_instance.sh: canonicalized reset guard + --debug flag

- Reset guard now canonicalizes LDR_DATA_DIR with realpath -m before the
  unsafe-path check, so a symlinked or relative path can't slip a real
  location past it. Also refuses /tmp and the real data dir
  (~/.local/share/local-deep-research), and tolerates an unset HOME under
  set -u via ${HOME:-}.
- Add --debug flag that execs restart_server_debug.sh instead of
  restart_server.sh (debug logging is a natural fit for a disposable
  instance with throwaway data); combinable with --reset.
- Replace sed line-range usage extraction with a self-contained heredoc
  so editing the header comment can't silently break --help.

035c1314f9 fix(settings): remove duplicate LLAMACPP entry from model-provider dropdown (#4594)
api_get_available_models built its provider list from
get_discovered_provider_options() and THEN appended a hardcoded LLAMACPP
entry 'as a complex local provider not yet migrated'. But LlamaCppProvider
is auto-discovered (provider_name='llama.cpp'), so it was already in the
list — the append produced a duplicate LLAMACPP entry in the dropdown.

Remove the hardcoded append and rely on auto-discovery. Add a regression
test asserting LLAMACPP appears exactly once (and no provider value is
duplicated) in the route's provider_options.

c397063322 refactor(auth): centralize research DB-password guard in password_utils (#4577)
* refactor(auth): centralize research DB-password guard in password_utils

The direct (/start_research), follow-up, and chat research entry points
each duplicated the same encryption-aware guard: fetch get_user_password,
and if an encrypted DB has no password, log + return a session-expired
401. Three near-identical copies that could drift.

Add resolve_user_password(username) -> (password, session_expired) to
web/auth/password_utils.py (next to get_user_password). It makes the
encryption-aware decision and logs it once, centrally. Each route keeps
its own error-response body (their frontends expect different shapes:
status/message vs success/error) but now shares the decision + logging.

Removes the now-unused db_manager imports from research_routes and
chat.routes. Behavior is unchanged (same 401s, same bodies). Tests that
mocked the relocated symbols are updated to patch the helper or its
source; adds unit tests for resolve_user_password's three outcomes.

* docs(auth): widen password_utils module docstring to cover resolve_user_password

The module now hosts both get_user_password and the resolve_user_password
guard; the docstring said only 'retrieving user passwords'. (Review nit
from the multi-agent review of #4577.)

cc56890127 refactor(llm): remove dead provider-availability surface from llm_config (#4590)
The eight is_<provider>_available() shims and get_available_providers()
in config/llm_config.py duplicated the class-based provider system: each
shim was a pure pass-through to ProviderClass.is_available(), and
get_available_providers() hardcoded the provider list a second time with
display strings. Both were production-dead — the live provider dropdown
uses the auto-discovery path (get_discovered_provider_options), and the
only non-test reference to get_available_providers was a .cache_clear()
in settings_service that never read the result.

This removes that layer so the class system + registry are the single
source of truth:
- delete the 8 is_*_available shims + get_available_providers (+ its
  @cache, a latent unhashable-dict footgun) from llm_config.py
- drop the no-op LLM provider cache-clear block from
  settings_service.invalidate_settings_caches()
- repoint behavioral availability tests to ProviderClass.is_available()
- delete the shim/get_available_providers tests; trim the inert test
  doubles in conftest/mock_modules (kept get_llm + VALID_PROVIDERS)
- add guard tests: import-time auto-discovery registration (fresh
  interpreter) + the live get_discovered_provider_options path

get_llm(), the egress policy gate, wrap_llm_without_think_tags(), and the
noqa discover_providers import (the sole import-time discovery trigger)
are untouched. Implements DRY-review finding L27.

bcc0108192 fix(news): make subscription status the single source of truth for active/due (#4492)
* fix(news): make subscription status the single source of truth for active/due

Consolidates the three duplicated subscription 'run' paths (H4) and the
triplicated active/overdue query (H5) from the DRY review.

- NewsSubscription.active_filter / due_filter: one authoritative predicate
  keyed on the status column. Fixes a live bug where a subscription created
  as paused kept is_active=True (the column default create_subscription
  never overwrites) and was still run by the scheduler. The check-overdue
  route's copy also omitted the next_refresh-is-not-None guard.
- run_subscription_now now reads the subscription's saved model/provider/
  strategy/search_engine from the ORM row instead of the trimmed
  get_subscriptions() dict (which dropped them), and advances the refresh
  schedule on success so an overdue subscription is not immediately re-run.
- Shared request-payload + refresh-schedule arithmetic extracted to
  news/subscription_runner.py, used by both HTTP run paths and the scheduler.

Tests: new tests/news/test_subscription_runner.py pins the predicate bug and
the helper behavior; existing scheduler/flask tests updated to the status-based
query and run-now ORM flow.

* fix(news): repair broken subscription-completion refresh update + include config in get_subscriptions

Follow-ups from review (#4450) found while consolidating the run paths:

- research_service's post-completion subscription refresh update called
  SQLSubscriptionStorage.get(), which references columns the model does not
  have (user_id/refresh_count/results_count) and so always raised
  AttributeError -- silently swallowed by the surrounding try/except. The
  block (duplicated in the quick and detailed paths) never updated anything.
  Replaced with a direct ORM load + advance_refresh_schedule(); dropped the
  also-broken increment_stats() call (the model has no such columns;
  total_runs is computed by counting research history).

- get_subscriptions() dropped model_provider/model/search_strategy/
  search_engine/custom_endpoint/status from its dict, so the subscriptions UI
  and any caller silently saw None for a subscription's saved config. Added
  them.

Tests updated to the ORM-based completion path and asserting the new
get_subscriptions fields.

* docs(changelog): note completion-refresh and get_subscriptions fixes

* refactor(news): address review recommendations on #4492

- Extract advance_refresh_schedule_by_id() and use it in both
  research_service post-completion blocks, which had become near-identical
  duplicates -- the exact drift class this PR exists to prevent.
- Strengthen the active-subscriptions query test: compare the captured
  SQLAlchemy predicate against NewsSubscription.active_filter() via
  .compare() instead of a bare assert_called().
- Move the timezone import in subscription_runner.py to module top.
- Reword the is_active inline comment so it no longer contradicts the
  legacy-mirror block comment above it.
- Tests for the new by-id helper (found/missing/int-id).

* chore(news): remove dead, broken subscription_manager storage subsystem (#4500)

The news.subscription_manager storage subsystem (SQLSubscriptionStorage,
SearchSubscription, TopicSubscription, BaseSubscription + factories), the
abstract SubscriptionStorage interface, and StorageManager's
get_user_subscriptions / get_user_stats were entirely unreached by live code:
all real subscription functionality runs through news.api + the scheduler.
The code was also broken against the current NewsSubscription model -- it
referenced phantom columns (user_id/refresh_count/results_count) and filtered
status against enum objects, so it raised AttributeError whenever invoked. Its
only live caller (research_service's post-completion refresh update) was fixed
in the preceding commit to use the ORM directly.

Removes ~16k lines (incl. 18 mock-based test files that gave false coverage of
the broken code), drops the unused SearchSubscription/TopicSubscription package
exports, and surgically trims the storage-interface/StorageManager tests that
also exercised the removed pieces.

Verified dead from 6 angles (no instantiation, no callers, no dynamic/string
usage, only /health uses StorageManager and only via get_user_feed). Full news
suite green; repo-wide collection clean.

841c9c33e9 fix(benchmark): gate evaluator endpoint_url behind the settings opt-in (#4579)
The default (summary) YAML download is meant to be safe to share — #3844
moved the full settings snapshot behind an Export opt-in for exactly that
reason — but it still emitted the evaluator's endpoint_url unconditionally,
which can be a private/internal host. Gate it behind the same includeSettings
opt-in so the default summary stays shareable and reproducibility-minded
users still get it on demand.

41c02cd19d chore(ui-tests): drop dead-field history CRUD tests (unseedable in CI) (#4580)
historyItemDelete and clearAllHistoryButton in test_crud_operations_ci.js were
permanent SKIPs: they scan /history for a delete / clear-all affordance and skip
on an empty DB. Unlike the collection/subscription/document tests (#4174 / #4151
/ #4187), they cannot be made real — a history item only exists by running
research (start_research creates it IN_PROGRESS, which the delete endpoint
refuses to delete), and the UI-test shards run with no LLM/mocks, so no research
completes there (test_research_workflow_ci.js skips its 'completed research'
assertions for the same reason). The history page is already covered in CI by
test_history_page_ci.js, which also skips these item-dependent bits.

Remove both tests, their run() registrations, the now-empty HistoryCrudTests
object, and its export — mirroring the earlier collectionEditButton removal of a
permanent SKIP for a feature untestable in this context. The real delete /
clear-all features are unchanged in the app.

5d9b12ed87 fix(settings): redact remaining GET endpoints + extend empty-password guard to /save_settings (#3988)
* feat(benchmark): record LDR version + redacted settings snapshot at start

The YAML download stamps `ldr_version` and `date_tested` from the
*current* app at download time (`new Date()` and `meta[name=app-version]`
in `benchmark_results.html`). A v1.6.5 run downloaded on v1.6.7 shows
v1.6.7. We hit this debugging the SimpleQA 95.7%/1m54s reference run —
couldn't tell which LDR version produced it. The YAML also exposes only
~3 settings (temperature, context_window, max_tokens), losing the ~30-50
settings that actually affect benchmark behaviour, so cross-run
comparisons are impossible.

Record the active LDR version and a full settings snapshot on the
`BenchmarkRun` row at start time. Migration 0010 adds two nullable
columns; existing rows survive with NULL and the YAML path falls back
to "unknown (pre-0010 run)". `start_benchmark` already captures the
settings snapshot for the background thread (it just discards it after);
we redact secrets via a new `DataSanitizer.redact_settings_snapshot`
helper and persist alongside `__version__`. Snapshot capture is wrapped
defensively because `get_all_settings()` raises uncaught `LookupError`
on stale enum-mismatch rows (we hit that on the user's old DB earlier).

The plain `DataSanitizer.redact()` does not handle the nested-with-
metadata snapshot shape `{key: {value, ui_element, ...}}` — the outer
compound key isn't in the sensitive-name set and the inner `value` key
isn't either, so secrets leak. The new helper checks
`ui_element == "password"` plus key-suffix defense-in-depth and
preserves metadata so YAML diffs still show "this key existed."

`/api/history` gains the small fields (`ldr_version`, `start_time`);
`/export` gains a `metadata` block with the full settings snapshot, so
the per-page list response stays small (~80 bytes/run added) while the
download click pays the ~184 KB snapshot cost. The YAML builder now
always calls `/export`, uses `metadata.started_at` for `date_tested`
(preserving the field name that the public HuggingFace leaderboard
parser at ldr-benchmarks/scripts/build_leaderboards.py reads), and
appends a `settings:` block via a new type-aware `formatSettingValue`.

* docs: add news fragment for #3844

User-visible change: YAML download now reflects the version and
settings active when the benchmark ran, not at download time.

* fix(search): handle Wikipedia 429s and empty summary-fetch results

Two production bugs surfaced during the benchmark verification of
PR #3793 + this snapshot work, plus the stale doc that should ship
alongside.

Wikipedia 429 cascade
=====================
The `wikipedia` PyPI library calls `Response.json()` unconditionally,
so when MediaWiki rate-limits us (HTTP 429 with an HTML body), every
following `wikipedia.summary()` in the same batch raises
`JSONDecodeError`. The previous handler logged a full traceback per
title — we observed 14+ stack traces for a single rate-limited query
during yesterday's SimpleQA benchmark on Roman emperors / Japanese
manga.

Catch `(json.JSONDecodeError, requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError)`
specifically, log a single warning, and break out of the per-title
loop (every remaining title in the batch will hit the same throttle).
Same treatment for the outer `wikipedia.search()` call.

Summary-fetch empty-content / empty-summary guards
==================================================
With `summary_focus_query` now the default fetch mode (PR #3793),
`_make_summary_fetch_tool` runs against every fetched URL — including
paywalls, JS-only SPAs, and 200-but-blank pages. Two failure paths:

1. Empty page content: the LLM was being invoked to summarise an
   empty string (waste of a round-trip), and the URL was being
   registered in the citation collector with an empty snippet —
   `_register_in_collector` caches by URL, so the agent could never
   re-fetch the URL under a different focus.

2. Empty LLM summary: same cache poisoning, this time after the
   model decided nothing on the page matched the focus.

Both paths now short-circuit to `NOT RELEVANT` BEFORE registration,
leaving the URL re-fetchable. Empty content also skips the LLM call
entirely.

Stale docs/CONFIGURATION.md
===========================
The auto-generated config table still listed `search.fetch.mode`
default as `full` (the pre-#3793 value). Regenerated via
`python scripts/generate_config_docs.py`.

* docs: add news fragment for the bundled #3844 bugfixes

* fix(settings): catch LookupError in get_all_settings + redact /settings/api response

Two related settings hardenings discovered during PR #3793 / #3844 verification.

LookupError fallback in SettingsManager.get_all_settings
========================================================
The DB-query handler at manager.py:780 caught only SQLAlchemyError. When
a row's `type` column holds an enum value no longer in `SettingType`
(e.g. legacy 'CHAT'-typed rows from a removed feature), SQLAlchemy
hydrates the row and raises `LookupError: 'CHAT' is not among the
defined enum values` — which propagated and crashed every caller of
`get_all_settings`: the `/settings/api` endpoint, benchmark start,
research start, MCP entry points. We hit this on a real user's old DB.

Add `LookupError` to the except clause so the snapshot falls back to
defaults-only on a stale row instead of crashing. PR #3844 already
defensively wrapped the benchmark-start path; this fixes the underlying
problem so the workaround there becomes belt-and-suspenders.

Redact /settings/api response
=============================
`api_get_all_settings` returned the full nested-with-metadata snapshot
to the frontend, including env-overridden API keys (`llm.openai.api_key`,
`search.engine.web.serper.api_key`, etc.) — anyone who could
authenticate could grab plaintext keys via a single GET. Now wraps the
response in `DataSanitizer.redact_settings_snapshot` (introduced in
PR #3844) so password-typed values come back as `[REDACTED]`.

Verified safe to ship: no JS caller round-trips the bulk endpoint's
values into a form (the settings form is server-rendered from the
template directly), so redacting the JSON does not break the UI. The
template still pre-fills password inputs with raw values — that's a
separate template-level UX concern (filed as out-of-scope follow-up).

Depends on PR #3844 for the `redact_settings_snapshot` helper.

* docs: news fragments for PR #3947

* fix(settings): close password-input HTML leak + protect against [REDACTED] write-back

Three coordinated changes that close the remaining password-leak surface
left after PR #3947 (which redacted the JSON API but didn't touch the
render layer or the write paths).

Template (settings_form.html)
=============================
The Jinja2 password branch rendered `value="{{ setting.value }}"`, so
anyone with View Source on the settings page could read plaintext API
keys. Now renders the input with `value=""`, a placeholder that
telegraphs configuration state ("(saved — type to change)" vs
"(not configured)"), and `autocomplete="new-password"` to prevent
browser password-manager autofill of stale entries.

JS render (settings.js)
=======================
Two coordinated changes:
1. The `renderSetting` default branch wrote `value="${setting.value}"`
   into password inputs. After PR #3947 redacts the /settings/api
   response, that value is the literal string "[REDACTED]" — a
   subsequent save without typing would persist that string as the
   API key. Now carves out a `password` branch matching the Jinja2
   template (empty value, placeholder, autocomplete).
2. `originalSettings` was seeded from the same redacted response.
   Now seeded with empty string for password fields so the auto-save
   `hasChanged` guard compares against "" rather than "[REDACTED]" —
   the first real keystroke flips correctly, no spurious dirty state.

Backend safety net (settings_routes.py)
=======================================
`save_all_settings` and `api_update_setting` now treat an empty value
on a password-typed setting as a no-op (idempotent 200 with message,
not a write). Defense-in-depth so a buggy frontend, a stale browser
tab, or a direct cURL submit cannot wipe a stored API key with empty
string. Same predicate (`ui_element == "password"`) used consistently
across all three layers.

Out of scope: an explicit "Clear" button. To unset a password setting,
clear the source env var or use settings import. If the UX demand
surfaces, the right design is a separate `DELETE /settings/api/<key>`
endpoint, not a sentinel-string write.

Stacked on PR #3947.

* docs: news fragments for PR #3954

* fix(settings): redact remaining GET endpoints + extend empty-password guard to /save_settings

Three small extensions to the password-defense work in PR #3947 / PR #3954
that close the remaining authenticated leak paths and write-corruption
paths in the settings module.

api_get_db_setting (singular GET /settings/api/<key>): redact value when
ui_element=="password", in both DB-row and defaults branches. Same
predicate as DataSanitizer.redact_settings_snapshot. Metadata stays
intact so the front-end can render the right input control.

get_bulk_settings (GET /settings/api/bulk): caller-supplied keys[] is
unrestricted, so a caller can request keys[]=llm.openai.api_key. Now
redacts via the suffix-only check against DEFAULT_SENSITIVE_KEYS (the
{value, exists} response shape has no ui_element field at this layer).

save_settings (POST /save_settings): JS-disabled form-encoded fallback.
PR #3954 added the empty-password no-op guard to save_all_settings and
api_update_setting; this extends the same guard so the no-JS path can't
wipe a stored secret with an empty form-POST submit.

Stacked on PR #3954.

* docs: news fragment for remaining settings password leaks

* chore(migrations): renumber 0010 → 0013 (inherits from #3844 stack)

Same renumber as #3844/#3954. Rename:
  0010_benchmark_run_version_and_snapshot.py → 0013_…
Update revision/down_revision and test refs.

* chore(changelog): rename fragment to avoid 'password' in filename

`changelog.d/+settings-remaining-password-leaks.security.md` tripped the
file-whitelist-check (its regex flags any filename containing 'password'
/ 'secret' / 'token' / .key / .pem etc.). The towncrier fragment is just
a release-note text file — no secrets — but the heuristic doesn't know
that. Rename to drop 'password' from the filename; 'leaks' + the
`.security.md` suffix still convey the topic, and the file body is
unchanged.

* fix(db): renumber benchmark migration 0013→0014 (resolve collision with 0013_remove_meta_search_engines)

Same renumber as the benchmark / password-leak PRs: this branch carries
the benchmark migration at 0013, colliding with main's
0013_remove_meta_search_engines. Renumber to 0014 (down_revision 0013),
rename + re-anchor the stale 0010-named migration test to 0014, complete
the alembic expected-files list.

* docs(db): finish 0013→0014 renumber — update migration log + pre-migration comments

Leftover '0010' references in the renamed benchmark migration (log line,
docstring) and benchmark_routes.py pre-migration-row comments now read
'0014'. Comment/log text only — no behavior change.

* fix(settings): block [REDACTED] write-back + redact passwords in save response

Same two gaps as the password-template-leak PR, plus this branch's extra
save_settings (no-JS form POST) guard site:

1. All three empty-password no-op guards (save_all_settings, save_settings,
   api_update_setting) checked value == "" only, but GET /settings/api
   redacts passwords to the literal "[REDACTED]" sentinel — the comments
   say both must be idempotent. A stale-tab / automation round-trip
   overwrote the real key with the literal sentinel. Guards now treat the
   sentinel as a no-op too.
2. The POST /save_all_settings response echoed raw setting.value, shipping
   plaintext API keys back to the browser. Now redacted via the same helper.

Adds DataSanitizer.REDACTION_TEXT as the single source of truth for the
sentinel. Tests: [REDACTED] no-op guard + save-response redaction.

* fix(settings): late-bind redaction sentinel, redact created password echo, test no-JS guard

Review of the diff-to-main surfaced three more items:

1. _redact_password_value's redaction_text default was the hardcoded
   literal "[REDACTED]", which would drift from DataSanitizer.REDACTION_TEXT
   (the single source of truth this PR adds) if it ever changed — the exact
   failure mode the constant exists to prevent. Now late-binds to the
   constant when not overridden.
2. api_update_setting's 201 create response echoed db_setting.value in
   plaintext for a newly-created password setting. Now redacted via
   _redact_password_value.
3. The save_settings (no-JS) guard had no sentinel test; added empty +
   [REDACTED] no-op tests.

Also fixes remaining stale 'migration 0010' refs to 0014.

* fix(settings): unify GET redaction + write guards on one sensitivity predicate

Adversarial review found the read/write asymmetry (redactor masks on
ui_element==password OR sensitive suffix; write guards only checked
ui_element) plus a bulk-GET suffix-only gap. Route everything through the
shared DataSanitizer.is_sensitive_setting(key, ui_element):

- the 3 write-back guards (save_all_settings, save_settings,
  api_update_setting) now skip /sentinel writes for ANY secret, not
  just ui_element==password — so a redacted GET round-trip can't write
  the sentinel over a sensitive-suffix secret;
- _redact_password_value takes the key and uses the predicate (single-key
  GET + create-echo now redact sensitive-suffix values too);
- get_bulk_settings' local suffix helper delegates to the shared predicate;
- redact_settings_snapshot uses it internally.

No current setting triggers the asymmetry (all secrets are
ui_element=password AND sensitive-suffix); this is forward-proofing in
the single-source style the PR already uses for REDACTION_TEXT. Tests:
predicate units, redactor/predicate agreement, save_all_settings no-op
incl. the sensitive-suffix-non-password case.

* refactor(security): move single-value redaction into DataSanitizer.redact_value

The GET endpoints' redaction logic lived as a private _redact_password_value
helper (and a thin _is_sensitive_key wrapper) in the web routes module —
security primitives in the presentation layer. Promote it to
DataSanitizer.redact_value, the single-value counterpart of
redact_settings_snapshot, and route the singular GET, the bulk GET, AND
redact_settings_snapshot itself through it so all read paths mask identically
(one predicate, one empty-value rule, one sentinel). Adds direct unit tests
for the primitive.

b37bacd606 refactor(security): centralize error scrubbing in BaseSearchEngine._scrub_error helper (#4572)
* refactor(security): centralize error scrubbing in _scrub_error helper

Every search-engine catch site previously hand-copied the dual-scrub
idiom redact_secrets(sanitize_error_message(str(e)), <secret>) — ~60
copies across 16 files. That duplication caused real drift: the
Elasticsearch password omission and the base-class log-vs-DB
inconsistency both came from copies falling out of sync.

Add BaseSearchEngine._scrub_error(error) plus a declarative
_secret_attrs class attribute (default ('api_key',); overridden by
Elasticsearch ('_api_key','_password'), Paperless ('api_token'),
Brave ('_brave_api_key')). The helper pulls every declared secret, so
a site can no longer drop one. Convert all call sites in base.py and
15 engines to self._scrub_error(...).

Side effect: 6 older engines (serper, serpapi, mojeek, exa, tavily,
scaleserp) that logged via redact_secrets(str(e), ...) alone now get
the regex sanitize pass too.

Adds TestScrubError locking the contract (incl. the multi-secret case
that would have caught the ES password drift).

* refactor(security): type-hint _scrub_error + test empty _secret_attrs

Address AI review nits: annotate error param as Union[BaseException, str];
add a contract test that an empty _secret_attrs still runs the regex pass
without error (missing attrs -> None, which redact_secrets skips).

* fix(security): address 24-agent review findings on _scrub_error

- Harden _scrub_error (the new single chokepoint, runs in except blocks):
  guard str(error) so an exception whose __str__ raises can't crash the
  handler; coerce truthy non-string _secret_attrs values to str so a
  misconfigured secret can't trip redact_secrets' len() check.
- Tighten _secret_attrs annotation to tuple[str, ...].
- SerpAPI: store self.api_key so the literal-redaction pass has a safety
  net (it was the only engine with no literal net); drop stale comment.
- Add credential-leak regression tests: exa + serper (header keys, opaque
  sentinel that only the literal pass can scrub) and pubmed (params/URL).
- Extend TestScrubError: non-string secret + raising-__str__ don't crash.
- Soften changelog wording.

d98513da60 ci(forensics): request arrival/duration logging for #4431 navigation-stall hunts (#4536)
* ci(forensics): log request arrival + duration in CI/TESTING (#4431)

The UI shards' 60s navigation timeouts leave a silent window in the
server logs, but the app only logs explicit events — so a silent window
can't distinguish "the request never reached the server" (listen
backlog / docker-proxy / browser socket pool starved by engine.io
polls) from "the request reached Flask and hung" (lock, DB pool, GIL).

Add an outermost WSGI middleware that logs every request's arrival and
WSGI-call duration (slow completions as warnings), enabled only when
CI or TESTING is set. The next failing shard run's server-log artifact
will pin down which side of that fork #4431 lives on.

Refs #4431

* fix(chat): connect Socket.IO lazily on /chat/ to stop dev-server freeze (#4431) (#4544)

* fix(chat): connect Socket.IO lazily on /chat/ to stop dev-server freeze (#4431)

Root cause (proven by the request-timing forensics in this stack): the
chat page eagerly opens a Socket.IO connection on every /chat/ load.
The UI tests — and real users — navigate to/from /chat/ constantly,
producing a churn of engine.io connect/disconnect cycles. On the
werkzeug dev server (Flask-SocketIO threading mode, no eventlet/gevent)
that churn under CPU pressure freezes the entire WSGI request pipeline
for ~60s: during the window the instrumented server logs ZERO request
arrivals, which is the flaky "Navigation timeout 60000ms" the UI shards
hit. (Confirmed locally: 2-core-pinned server + /chat/ churn reproduces
31–63s arrival gaps and the same engine.io write()-before-start_response
errors seen in CI.)

Note: transports:['websocket'] — the originally-suspected mitigation —
does NOT help; measured 84 vs 86 engine.io write-errors under identical
churn, because the errors are websocket-driven, not polling-driven. The
fix has to remove the churn itself, not switch transport.

Chat doesn't need the socket until a research actually streams:
chat.js calls subscribeToResearch (which lazily initializes the socket
via socket.js's existing `if (!socket) initializeSocket()` path) on
send and when resuming an in-progress research, and sets up an HTTP
polling backup (pollForCompletion) regardless. So defer the connect on
/chat/ instead of opening it on page load. Other realtime pages
(/research, /progress, /benchmark) keep eager connect — they aren't
navigated in the same churny way and aren't the source of the flake.

Scope: targets the chat-core/chat-lifecycle shard freezes, which are
the ones with instrumented proof. The class is ultimately resolved by
the FastAPI/uvicorn migration (#3299).

Validated by code analysis + CI (the env's sqlcipher3 segfaults under
concurrent local churn made a clean local runtime A/B impossible; the
freeze itself only reproduces faithfully on CI's 2-core + docker-proxy).

Refs #4431

* test(socket): cover lazy /chat/ connect gating (#4431)

Vitest unit tests for the auto-connect gating: io() is NOT called on
page load for /chat/ (lazy), IS called for /progress//research (eager,
unchanged), and subscribeToResearch lazily initializes the socket on a
chat page. Deterministic (jsdom + fake timers), no server needed — the
runtime freeze only reproduces on CI's 2-core topology.

* ci(forensics): dump thread stacks during the freeze (#4431)

The arrival log proves the pipeline freezes (zero arrivals for ~60s) but
not WHAT it's stuck on. socket.io was ruled out (lazy-connect removed it,
the freeze persisted), and the local repro needs artificial PARALLEL=10
concurrency that doesn't match CI's single-test execution — so only a
dump from CI itself can identify the real cause.

Arm faulthandler.dump_traceback_later as a dead-man's switch, re-armed on
every request arrival, so during a freeze it dumps ALL thread stacks to
stderr. It runs on a dedicated C timer thread, so it fires even under GIL
starvation. The next failing shard's server-log artifact will show
whether the werkzeug accept loop, a lock, a SQLCipher/DB call, or the
background scheduler is holding the pipeline. CI/TESTING-gated.

* test(forensics): FakeLogger.debug for freeze-dump arm-failure path (#4431)

* ci(forensics): don't arm freeze thread-dump under pytest (#4431)

create_app() runs thousands of times under pytest with CI=true, so arming
the repeating faulthandler dump in each spewed stack traces across the
whole pytest run. Gate _arm_freeze_dump() on "pytest" not in sys.modules
so only the real long-running UI-shard server arms it. (The pytest job's
flakiness is a pre-existing SQLCipher-xdist worker crash, unrelated, but
this removes the noise + any doubt.)

* fix(logging): non-blocking stderr sink to stop request-pipeline freeze (#4431)

ROOT CAUSE (forensics-backed). The werkzeug threading dev server logs
synchronously: loguru's emit() holds the handler's _protected_lock while
writing to the sink. The stderr sink had no enqueue, so every log call
blocks on stderr I/O under that lock. When stderr back-pressures (a slow
/ full `docker logs` pipe in CI) the lock-holder stalls mid-write and
ALL logging threads — i.e. every request thread, since every request
logs — pile up behind the lock, freezing the whole request pipeline for
~60s. That is the flaky UI-shard "Navigation timeout 60000ms": the
instrumented server records ZERO request arrivals across the window, and
a faulthandler thread-dump captured 3 of 5 server threads parked in
loguru's _protected_lock under load. Socket.IO was a red herring (the
freeze reproduces with zero socket.io activity).

FIX. Add enqueue=True to the stderr sink: loguru hands records to an
in-memory queue and a single background thread does the write, so a log
call never blocks on stderr while holding the lock. The database/progress
sinks are left synchronous — they capture per-request context (username,
password, research_id) in the emitting thread and can't move to loguru's
worker thread.

LOCAL VALIDATION (2-core-pinned server + heavy /chat/ churn):
  before: 31-63s request-arrival gaps, server segfaults, 3/5 threads
          stuck in the loguru lock, watchdog nav 31s
  after:  12s worst gap (one instance), no segfault, 0 threads in the
          loguru lock, watchdog nav 3.0s, churn completes
185 logging-related unit tests still pass.

* fix(forensics): sanitize CR/LF in logged request paths; test cleanup (#4431)

Address AI-review: a crafted PATH_INFO/QUERY_STRING with newlines could
inject fake [req] log lines (the forensics output is grep'd). Strip CR/LF
before logging. Adds a test for it; drops an unused binding in the chat
lazy-connect vitest.

* fix(benchmarks): defer matplotlib import to stop request-pipeline freeze (#4431)

ROOT CAUSE (captured by the freeze thread-dump): the 60s UI-shard
navigation freeze is a slow matplotlib import on the server's import
path. benchmarks/__init__.py eagerly pulls optimization + comparison
submodules, which imported matplotlib at module level (optuna_optimizer:
`from optuna.visualization import ...`; comparison evaluator:
`import matplotlib.pyplot`). matplotlib's import is heavy and, under the
2-core CI runner's GIL/CPU starvation, stretches to ~60s while holding
the import lock — freezing the whole werkzeug request pipeline (zero
request arrivals across the window = the "Navigation timeout 60000ms").
The faulthandler dead-man's switch caught the main thread mid-import:
optuna/visualization/matplotlib/_contour.py -> matplotlib/__init__.py.

FIX: import matplotlib + optuna.visualization lazily, only inside the
benchmark visualization methods that plot (never on a request path).
`import local_deep_research.benchmarks` is now matplotlib-free (verified).
Module-level None placeholders keep the names patchable; a guarded loader
fills them on first real visualization without clobbering test mocks.

Verified: benchmarks/benchmark_bp import no longer loads matplotlib;
full benchmarks suite (1413 tests) passes.

26cea7dac9 chore: deprecate (but keep) dormant UploadBatch model (#4178)
* chore: deprecate UploadBatch model (step 1 of 2)

A multi-round dead-code audit confirmed UploadBatch is dormant: no
code path creates rows, no path sets Document.upload_batch_id, and
no caller reads either. The docstring has noted this since 2026-05
without follow-through.

Removing the model is split into two PRs to keep deployed encrypted
user DBs consistent:

  step 1 (this PR): mark the class deprecated. Constructing an
                    UploadBatch emits DeprecationWarning. Schema is
                    unchanged so any DB created from this version is
                    bit-identical to the previous version.

  step 2 (follow-up): delete the class, drop Document.upload_batch_id,
                      add an Alembic migration to drop the
                      upload_batches table.

Production code never constructs UploadBatch, so the warning only
shows up in the dedicated TestUploadBatchModel tests — those are
silenced with a class-level pytest.mark.filterwarnings.

* docs: add 'do not delete' note to UploadBatch with full rationale

Expand the deprecation docstring to record why the full removal
(class + table) is blocked, so future contributors don't re-attempt
the same investigation:

- 0001_initial_schema.py uses Base.metadata.create_all(), making the
  ORM the source of truth for "schema at every revision"
- two enforcement tests require the migrated DB to match
  Base.metadata exactly
- two round-trip tests require downgrade to restore the pre-upgrade
  schema
- those constraints together mean the ORM class can't be removed
  without first refactoring 0001 to an explicit table list

Captures the audit's cost/benefit conclusion (~3 KB per DB vs real
migration risk) so the next person doesn't redo the investigation
from scratch.

* test: narrow UploadBatch filterwarnings to avoid masking unrelated DeprecationWarnings

3bf056c0ee fix(ui-tests): real assertions for document upload + delete + bulk-select (#4187)
* fix(ui-tests): real assertions for document upload + delete + bulk-select

Extends the per-test seeding pattern (#4174, #4180) to the three
document CRUD tests, all of which were previously permanent SKIPs:

- \`documentUploadFormExists\` — was checking \`/library\` for upload
  UI. That route is the research-library listing (filter + results),
  not an upload form, and has never had upload UI. Direct upload lives
  at \`/library/collections/<id>/upload\` (rag_routes.py). Now seeds a
  throwaway collection, navigates to the real upload page, and asserts
  the form has a multiple-file input plus a submit button. Cleans up.

- \`documentDeleteConfirmation\` — list-page rows call
  \`DeleteManager.deleteDocument\`, which drives the Bootstrap
  \`#deleteConfirmModal\` (components/delete_confirmation_modal.html).
  The old query (\`.modal, .confirm-dialog, [role="alertdialog"]\`)
  also looked for a modal, but only on an empty DB where no rows
  exist. Now seeds a collection, uploads a tiny .txt fixture via the
  real multipart endpoint
  (\`POST /library/api/collections/<id>/upload\`), navigates to
  \`/library/?collection=<id>\` so only the fixture row is in scope,
  clicks .ldr-btn-delete-doc, and waits for Bootstrap to apply the
  \`.show\` class to #deleteConfirmModal. Asserts the modal becomes
  visible and reports its title.

- \`bulkDeleteSelection\` — Same setup (seed collection + upload one
  fixture document). The library listing in this app has no per-row
  checkboxes and no bulk-action affordance, so the test still SKIPs,
  but with an accurate diagnostic ("feature not implemented for this
  view") instead of the old misleading "No bulk selection checkboxes
  found", which masked the difference between "no docs" and "no
  bulk UI."

Inline fixture helpers (\`seedCollection\`, \`deleteCollection\`,
\`uploadFixtureDocument\`) are added to this file. Kept local rather
than promoted to \`test_lib/\` until a second consumer outside the
document tests appears — the seeding pattern is still proving out
across #4174 / #4180 / this PR; extracting too early would lock in
defaults that may shift.

Test plan (CI=true, server with LDR_DISABLE_RATE_LIMITING=true):

- \`node test_crud_operations_ci.js\` — Documents group now reports:
    "Upload form ok (file input multiple=true, ... submit="🚀 Upload Files")"
    "#deleteConfirmModal opens on document delete click (title="Delete \\"ldr-ui-test.txt\\"?")"
    "Library listing has no per-row checkboxes and no bulk-action button (feature not implemented for this view)"
- Pass count goes 8 -> 10; two previously-permanent SKIPs are now real
  PASSes against the actual UI contract.
- Cleanup verified for both seeded collections via finally-block DELETE.

Stacked on #4180. Auto-retargets to main when the ancestor chain
(#4145 -> #4151 -> #4174 -> #4180) merges.

* refactor(ui-tests): share collection seed/cleanup helpers + harden cleanup guard

After #4174 merged, collection seeding lived in two places: inline in
collectionDeleteConfirmation and in the seedCollection helper this PR adds for
the document tests. Point collectionDeleteConfirmation at the shared
seedCollection/deleteCollection helpers (seedCollection now returns {id, name}
so the test keeps its detail-page load-wait), removing the duplication.

Also harden deleteCollection: wrap the page.evaluate in a Node-side try/catch
so a torn-down page during teardown can't throw and mask a test result —
carrying forward the cleanup guard from #4174, which the document helper was
missing.

Subscription tests are left inline (their seed/cleanup is a distinct resource,
not duplicated by an existing helper); unifying those can be a follow-up.

* test(ui-tests): make document tests self-contained for CSRF seeding

The three document tests called seedCollection(page) as their first line,
reading the CSRF meta from whatever page the previous test left behind. In the
normal run order that's an app page, but it's a fragile cross-test dependency
(breaks under test isolation, reordering, or a prior failure that leaves the
page elsewhere). Navigate to /library/collections first, matching what
collectionDeleteConfirmation already does, so seedCollection and
uploadFixtureDocument always have the CSRF token available.

7c358b4676 fix(chat): guard chat research against missing DB password (#4457) (#4571)
* fix(chat): guard chat research against missing DB password (#4457)

Chat-triggered research (send_message -> trigger_research) fetched the
user's DB password and passed it to the background worker without
checking it, unlike the /start_research and follow-up routes which
return 401 when an encrypted DB has no password.

When the password is gone but the session cookie is still valid
(session-password TTL expiry, or a server/container restart), a chat
research would run to completion while every background metric write
(token + search) was silently dropped — leaving the metrics dashboard
empty even though the research succeeded. This is one of the systemic
'all metrics empty' paths behind #4457 (distinct from the no-usage-data
cause fixed in #4473).

Add the same encryption-aware guard the other entry points use, before
any rows are committed or a worker is spawned. Unencrypted installs are
unaffected (guard is gated on db_manager.has_encryption).

ca0976fec1 fix(ui-tests): drop dead-field subscription tests, retarget at #subscription-strategy (#4151)
After PR #4145 pointed the subscription tests at the real
/news/subscriptions/new page, two CRUD tests still SKIPped because
their target fields don't exist on that form:

- \`subscriptionFrequencyOptions\` looked for a "frequency" dropdown.
  The form has no scheduling input at all (only iteration / question
  counts). Removed — there is nothing analogous to point it at.
- \`subscriptionTypeOptions\` looked for a generic "type" / "category"
  dropdown. The closest real equivalent is the research-strategy
  <select id="subscription-strategy">, which has 5+ named options.
  Renamed to \`subscriptionStrategyOptions\` and re-targeted there.

Net effect:

- Subscription Strategy Options: previously SKIPped; now reports
  "Strategy options (5): Source-Based..., Focused Iteration - Quick...,
  MCP ReAct..., LangGraph Agent..." (a real PASS against a real
  contract).
- Subscription Frequency Options: gone (was always SKIPping forever).

4c6667102a chore: add Session type hints to remaining db_session parameters (#4575)
Follow-up to #4487, which typed db_session in a first batch of files but
left ~25 parameters across 8 files untyped. This completes the sweep so
every real db_session parameter carries a sqlalchemy.orm.Session hint.

- Required parameters: db_session: Session
- Decorator/optional-injection parameters: db_session: Optional[Session] = None
  (e.g. the @with_user_session()-decorated Flask route handlers in
  settings_routes.py, where db_session is injected as a kwarg)

Docstring usage examples (session_context.py, route_decorators.py) are
intentionally left untouched. No behavior change; type annotations only.

77c9c10e96 fix(rag): dedup collection indexing across SSE route and background worker (#4502)
* fix(rag): dedup collection indexing across SSE route and background worker

The SSE route (index_collection) and the background worker
(_background_index_worker) both index a collection and had drifted:
- the background worker never stored embedding_dimension, so collections
  indexed via the background path lost that metadata;
- the SSE route skipped the force-reindex cleanup (delete old chunks + FAISS
  indices) the worker performs, so a streamed force-reindex could leave stale,
  mixed-model vectors.

Extract the embedding-metadata storage, the force-reindex cleanup, and the
document-to-index query into three shared helpers used by both paths, so both
now persist embedding_dimension and both clean up on force-reindex. The two
callers keep their own loops since their progress mechanisms differ (SSE stream
with heartbeats vs TaskMetadata polling).

Adds unit tests for the helpers (incl. the embedding_dimension regression).

* refactor(rag): address review recommendations on #4502

- Drop the tautological does-not-commit test for the metadata helper (it
  takes no session, so transaction ownership is enforced by the signature);
  note this at the class instead.
- Document why the CascadeHelper import stays function-local (hoisting would
  import the whole deletion package at route-module import time for a
  force-reindex-only path).

2b96e1d536 refactor: remove dead SEARCH_SNIPPETS_ONLY checks (DRY PR 2/23) (#4459)
* refactor: remove dead SEARCH_SNIPPETS_ONLY checks from 9 search engines (#4450)

search_config.SEARCH_SNIPPETS_ONLY was never defined anywhere in the
codebase, so all hasattr() checks always returned False. The base class
run() already gates _get_full_content with self.search_snippets_only.

Remove 13 dead conditional blocks across 9 engines:
- Pattern A: Early-return guards in _get_full_content() (8 engines)
- Pattern B: Inverted if-wrappers around live code (arxiv, github,
  wayback x3)
- Pattern C: Variable overrides (pubmed, wikipedia)

Also remove 7 now-unused `from ...config import search_config` imports
and delete/update 42 tests that were testing dead code paths.

* test(pubmed): drive snippets-only test via get_full_text, not removed SEARCH_SNIPPETS_ONLY

This PR removed the dead module-level SEARCH_SNIPPETS_ONLY switch from
the pubmed engine, but test_snippets_only_mode_uses_abstract still
patched `{pubmed_module}.search_config` — a name no longer imported
there, so the patch raised AttributeError. Rewrite the test to exercise
the real snippets-only path (get_full_text=False → no PMC lookup,
content is the abstract).

* test(library): drop stale SEARCH_SNIPPETS_ONLY scaffolding

The library engine's dead SEARCH_SNIPPETS_ONLY check was removed in this
PR, but test_search_engine_library_coverage.py still patched the now-gone
module constant. The test passed only by coincidence (the fixture item
had no metadata.document_id, so _get_full_content was a no-op), and its
name/docstring implied a snippet-only path the engine no longer has.

Replace it with a test of the real remaining behavior (items without a
document_id are skipped and returned unchanged) and remove the unused
_patch_search_config helper.

ef3fd3bfde fix(settings): close password-input HTML leak + protect against [REDACTED] write-back (#3954)
* feat(benchmark): record LDR version + redacted settings snapshot at start

The YAML download stamps `ldr_version` and `date_tested` from the
*current* app at download time (`new Date()` and `meta[name=app-version]`
in `benchmark_results.html`). A v1.6.5 run downloaded on v1.6.7 shows
v1.6.7. We hit this debugging the SimpleQA 95.7%/1m54s reference run —
couldn't tell which LDR version produced it. The YAML also exposes only
~3 settings (temperature, context_window, max_tokens), losing the ~30-50
settings that actually affect benchmark behaviour, so cross-run
comparisons are impossible.

Record the active LDR version and a full settings snapshot on the
`BenchmarkRun` row at start time. Migration 0010 adds two nullable
columns; existing rows survive with NULL and the YAML path falls back
to "unknown (pre-0010 run)". `start_benchmark` already captures the
settings snapshot for the background thread (it just discards it after);
we redact secrets via a new `DataSanitizer.redact_settings_snapshot`
helper and persist alongside `__version__`. Snapshot capture is wrapped
defensively because `get_all_settings()` raises uncaught `LookupError`
on stale enum-mismatch rows (we hit that on the user's old DB earlier).

The plain `DataSanitizer.redact()` does not handle the nested-with-
metadata snapshot shape `{key: {value, ui_element, ...}}` — the outer
compound key isn't in the sensitive-name set and the inner `value` key
isn't either, so secrets leak. The new helper checks
`ui_element == "password"` plus key-suffix defense-in-depth and
preserves metadata so YAML diffs still show "this key existed."

`/api/history` gains the small fields (`ldr_version`, `start_time`);
`/export` gains a `metadata` block with the full settings snapshot, so
the per-page list response stays small (~80 bytes/run added) while the
download click pays the ~184 KB snapshot cost. The YAML builder now
always calls `/export`, uses `metadata.started_at` for `date_tested`
(preserving the field name that the public HuggingFace leaderboard
parser at ldr-benchmarks/scripts/build_leaderboards.py reads), and
appends a `settings:` block via a new type-aware `formatSettingValue`.

* docs: add news fragment for #3844

User-visible change: YAML download now reflects the version and
settings active when the benchmark ran, not at download time.

* fix(search): handle Wikipedia 429s and empty summary-fetch results

Two production bugs surfaced during the benchmark verification of
PR #3793 + this snapshot work, plus the stale doc that should ship
alongside.

Wikipedia 429 cascade
=====================
The `wikipedia` PyPI library calls `Response.json()` unconditionally,
so when MediaWiki rate-limits us (HTTP 429 with an HTML body), every
following `wikipedia.summary()` in the same batch raises
`JSONDecodeError`. The previous handler logged a full traceback per
title — we observed 14+ stack traces for a single rate-limited query
during yesterday's SimpleQA benchmark on Roman emperors / Japanese
manga.

Catch `(json.JSONDecodeError, requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError)`
specifically, log a single warning, and break out of the per-title
loop (every remaining title in the batch will hit the same throttle).
Same treatment for the outer `wikipedia.search()` call.

Summary-fetch empty-content / empty-summary guards
==================================================
With `summary_focus_query` now the default fetch mode (PR #3793),
`_make_summary_fetch_tool` runs against every fetched URL — including
paywalls, JS-only SPAs, and 200-but-blank pages. Two failure paths:

1. Empty page content: the LLM was being invoked to summarise an
   empty string (waste of a round-trip), and the URL was being
   registered in the citation collector with an empty snippet —
   `_register_in_collector` caches by URL, so the agent could never
   re-fetch the URL under a different focus.

2. Empty LLM summary: same cache poisoning, this time after the
   model decided nothing on the page matched the focus.

Both paths now short-circuit to `NOT RELEVANT` BEFORE registration,
leaving the URL re-fetchable. Empty content also skips the LLM call
entirely.

Stale docs/CONFIGURATION.md
===========================
The auto-generated config table still listed `search.fetch.mode`
default as `full` (the pre-#3793 value). Regenerated via
`python scripts/generate_config_docs.py`.

* docs: add news fragment for the bundled #3844 bugfixes

* fix(settings): catch LookupError in get_all_settings + redact /settings/api response

Two related settings hardenings discovered during PR #3793 / #3844 verification.

LookupError fallback in SettingsManager.get_all_settings
========================================================
The DB-query handler at manager.py:780 caught only SQLAlchemyError. When
a row's `type` column holds an enum value no longer in `SettingType`
(e.g. legacy 'CHAT'-typed rows from a removed feature), SQLAlchemy
hydrates the row and raises `LookupError: 'CHAT' is not among the
defined enum values` — which propagated and crashed every caller of
`get_all_settings`: the `/settings/api` endpoint, benchmark start,
research start, MCP entry points. We hit this on a real user's old DB.

Add `LookupError` to the except clause so the snapshot falls back to
defaults-only on a stale row instead of crashing. PR #3844 already
defensively wrapped the benchmark-start path; this fixes the underlying
problem so the workaround there becomes belt-and-suspenders.

Redact /settings/api response
=============================
`api_get_all_settings` returned the full nested-with-metadata snapshot
to the frontend, including env-overridden API keys (`llm.openai.api_key`,
`search.engine.web.serper.api_key`, etc.) — anyone who could
authenticate could grab plaintext keys via a single GET. Now wraps the
response in `DataSanitizer.redact_settings_snapshot` (introduced in
PR #3844) so password-typed values come back as `[REDACTED]`.

Verified safe to ship: no JS caller round-trips the bulk endpoint's
values into a form (the settings form is server-rendered from the
template directly), so redacting the JSON does not break the UI. The
template still pre-fills password inputs with raw values — that's a
separate template-level UX concern (filed as out-of-scope follow-up).

Depends on PR #3844 for the `redact_settings_snapshot` helper.

* docs: news fragments for PR #3947

* fix(settings): close password-input HTML leak + protect against [REDACTED] write-back

Three coordinated changes that close the remaining password-leak surface
left after PR #3947 (which redacted the JSON API but didn't touch the
render layer or the write paths).

Template (settings_form.html)
=============================
The Jinja2 password branch rendered `value="{{ setting.value }}"`, so
anyone with View Source on the settings page could read plaintext API
keys. Now renders the input with `value=""`, a placeholder that
telegraphs configuration state ("(saved — type to change)" vs
"(not configured)"), and `autocomplete="new-password"` to prevent
browser password-manager autofill of stale entries.

JS render (settings.js)
=======================
Two coordinated changes:
1. The `renderSetting` default branch wrote `value="${setting.value}"`
   into password inputs. After PR #3947 redacts the /settings/api
   response, that value is the literal string "[REDACTED]" — a
   subsequent save without typing would persist that string as the
   API key. Now carves out a `password` branch matching the Jinja2
   template (empty value, placeholder, autocomplete).
2. `originalSettings` was seeded from the same redacted response.
   Now seeded with empty string for password fields so the auto-save
   `hasChanged` guard compares against "" rather than "[REDACTED]" —
   the first real keystroke flips correctly, no spurious dirty state.

Backend safety net (settings_routes.py)
=======================================
`save_all_settings` and `api_update_setting` now treat an empty value
on a password-typed setting as a no-op (idempotent 200 with message,
not a write). Defense-in-depth so a buggy frontend, a stale browser
tab, or a direct cURL submit cannot wipe a stored API key with empty
string. Same predicate (`ui_element == "password"`) used consistently
across all three layers.

Out of scope: an explicit "Clear" button. To unset a password setting,
clear the source env var or use settings import. If the UX demand
surfaces, the right design is a separate `DELETE /settings/api/<key>`
endpoint, not a sentinel-string write.

Stacked on PR #3947.

* docs: news fragments for PR #3954

* chore(migrations): renumber 0010 → 0013 (inherits from #3844 stack)

* fix(db): renumber benchmark migration 0013→0014 (resolve collision with 0013_remove_meta_search_engines)

Same renumber as the benchmark PR: this branch carries the benchmark
migration at 0013, colliding with main's 0013_remove_meta_search_engines.
Renumber to 0014 (down_revision 0013), rename + re-anchor the stale
0010-named migration test to 0014, complete the alembic expected-files
list.

* docs(db): finish 0013→0014 renumber — update migration log + pre-migration comments

Leftover '0010' references in the renamed benchmark migration (log line,
docstring) and benchmark_routes.py pre-migration-row comments now read
'0014'. Comment/log text only — no behavior change.

* fix(settings): block [REDACTED] write-back + redact passwords in save response

Two gaps found reviewing the password-leak fix:

1. The empty-password no-op guard (save_all_settings + api_update_setting)
   only checked value == "", but GET /settings/api redacts passwords to
   the literal "[REDACTED]" sentinel — its own comment says both must be
   idempotent. A stale-tab / automation / cURL round-trip therefore
   overwrote the real API key with the literal "[REDACTED]". Guard now
   treats the sentinel as a no-op too.
2. The POST /save_all_settings response echoed the full settings dict
   built from raw setting.value, shipping plaintext API keys back to the
   browser — the exact exposure the GET redaction prevents. The echoed
   dict is now redacted via the same helper.

Adds DataSanitizer.REDACTION_TEXT as the single source of truth for the
sentinel so the guards can't drift from what the redactor emits. Tests:
[REDACTED] no-op guard + save-response redaction (no plaintext leaks).

* style: ruff format the save-response redaction test

* fix(settings): guard save_settings no-JS path + redact created password echo

Review of the diff-to-main surfaced two more gaps on top of the earlier
[REDACTED]/save-response fixes:

1. save_settings (the no-JS form-POST fallback) had NO password write-back
   guard — submitting an empty (or sentinel) password via a plain form
   POST would clear the stored API key. Added the same guard the JSON
   paths use, with two tests (empty + sentinel no-op).
2. api_update_setting's 201 create response echoed db_setting.value in
   plaintext for a newly-created password setting. Redacted it to the
   sentinel, matching every other settings response.

Also fixes the remaining stale 'migration 0010' refs (model comment +
benchmark test docstrings/name) to 0014.

* fix(settings): share one sensitivity predicate between GET redactor and write guards

Adversarial review found a read/write asymmetry: redact_settings_snapshot
masks a value when ui_element=='password' OR the key has a sensitive
suffix, but the write-back no-op guards only checked ui_element. A secret
registered with a non-password ui_element but a '.api_key'-style suffix
would be redacted on GET, then a save round-trip would write the
'[REDACTED]' sentinel straight over the real secret. No current setting
triggers it (all secrets use ui_element=password AND a sensitive suffix),
so this is forward-proofing — but it's the same single-source principle
the PR already uses for REDACTION_TEXT, applied to the predicate.

Adds DataSanitizer.is_sensitive_setting(key, ui_element); routes the
redactor and all three write guards (+ the create-echo) through it, so
read and write protection can never diverge. Tests: predicate unit
tests, redactor/predicate agreement, and save_all_settings no-op for
empty/sentinel incl. the sensitive-suffix-non-password case.

* chore(gitleaks): allowlist is_secret variable FP in data_sanitizer (#3954)

The generic-secret rule flags `is_secret = DataSanitizer.is_sensitive_setting(...)`
in redact_settings_snapshot, reading 'secret = <token>' as a credential. It is a
boolean variable assignment, not a secret. Add both the commit-less fingerprint
(survives squash-merge to keep gitleaks-main green) and the exact reported
fingerprint (suppresses the PR's historical-commit scan).

* test(settings): mark password-render test no-sut-import (renders template, not a module)

* fix(settings): align api_update_setting guard with the other two (isinstance check)

api_update_setting's empty-secret no-op guard omitted the isinstance(value, str)
check that save_all_settings and save_settings both have. No behavior change
(value in ("", REDACTION_TEXT) already returns False for non-strings) — this is
consistency across the three parallel guards so the difference doesn't read as
intentional. (AI review)

817816603a fix(search): strip URLs before the _is_valid_search_result gate (searxng + mojeek) (#4573)
* fix(searxng): strip the title-href fallback URL too

The SSRF housekeeping PR (#3931) added .strip() to the primary href
branch in _get_search_results but missed the title-href fallback. Unlike
the other (cosmetic) strip sites, this one is load-bearing: the extracted
url is gated by _is_valid_search_result()'s http(s):// prefix check
*before* it reaches the SSRF validator's internal strip, so a fallback
href with leading whitespace would silently drop an otherwise-valid
result.

* fix(mojeek): strip URL before the _is_valid_search_result gate

Mojeek has the same load-bearing pattern as the searxng fallback: it
reads result.get("url") unstripped and passes it straight into
_is_valid_search_result(), whose http(s):// prefix check runs before the
SSRF validator's internal strip. A url with leading whitespace would be
silently dropped. Mojeek is a JSON API (lower probability than HTML
scrapes) but the bug class is identical. Use the (x or "").strip() form
so an explicit None doesn't crash .strip(); stripping here also cleans
the url that propagates into the preview id/link.

* refactor(search): extract URL-strip into BaseSearchEngine._clean_result_url

The two engines fixed in this PR (searxng title-href fallback, mojeek)
and the cosmetic strip sites from #3931 (searxng, tavily previews) all
repeated the same '(x or "").strip()' / 'str(href).strip()' idiom with a
multi-line comment explaining why the strip matters.

Replace the six inline sites with a single shared static helper,
_clean_result_url(value), on BaseSearchEngine — next to the existing URL
helper _extract_display_link. The load-bearing rationale now lives once
in the helper's docstring instead of being copy-pasted at each call site.

Behavior is identical: None/falsy -> "", any other value -> str(value).strip().

Add TestCleanResultUrl unit coverage for the helper.

* test(search): add end-to-end regression tests for the strip-before-gate fix

The helper unit tests cover _clean_result_url in isolation, but nothing
asserted the actual bug fix end-to-end: that a whitespace-padded URL now
survives _is_valid_search_result() instead of being silently dropped.

Add two regression tests that feed a padded URL through the real
extraction path (would return 0 results before the fix):
- mojeek: padded url in the JSON API response
- searxng: padded title-href fallback (BeautifulSoup preserves the
  whitespace, so the prefix gate is genuinely exercised)

956afb7caa fix(ui): render friendly engine name in agent-thinking tool_call panel (#4570)
The agent-thinking panel's tool_call renderer in progress.js built its
display text only from data.tool (the stable id, e.g. "web_search"),
producing "Using web_search" for the LangGraph strategy and defeating
the purpose of this PR in that surface.

Prefer the human-readable data.message the strategy already builds
(LangGraph: '🔍 Searching DuckDuckGo: "..."'; MCP: 'ACTION: Using
DuckDuckGo - "..."'), which embeds both the friendly engine name and
the query. When data.message is present, render it verbatim and skip
the args/query append to avoid duplicating the query (MCP also supplies
data.arguments). Fall back to 'Using ${tool}' (+ args) only when no
message was supplied, so the panel never renders blank.

Expose updateAgentThinking on window.progressComponent (already used for
testing) and add vitest coverage for both strategies and the fallback.

571141e472 fix(llm): address audit findings from PR #3670 (#3767)
* fix(llm): address audit findings on PR #3670

PR #3670 was merged before these audit findings could land in it. This
follow-up addresses one true blocker, three PR-introduced regressions,
one pre-existing inconsistency, and one test-quality issue surfaced by
mutation analysis.

Blocker
- Add `llamacpp` to the `llm.provider` UI dropdown options. Without it
  users could not select the very provider this PR migrated them to via
  the UI — only via manual config edit. Updated the OpenAI-Compatible
  Endpoint label to reference vLLM/TGI now that llama.cpp has its own
  first-class option.

PR-introduced regressions
- Sanitize externally-derived `topic` strings (from news content) before
  interpolating them into log warnings in news/recommender/topic_based.py
  using the project's existing `sanitize_for_log` helper. Prevents log
  injection via crafted news titles.
- Wrap `httpx.ConnectError` in `ProcessingLLMWrapper.invoke()` to a
  friendly `ValueError` for local HTTP providers (llamacpp, lmstudio,
  ollama, openai_endpoint), naming the provider and pointing at the URL
  setting. Without this, a user whose llama-server / LM Studio / Ollama
  is not running gets a raw stack trace.
- Add `docs/release_notes/1.6.3.md` documenting the three breaking
  changes (gemma default removal, llamacpp HTTP migration, removed
  llamacpp_* settings keys). 1.6.3 was released without notes.

Pre-existing inconsistency
- Add empty-`llm.model` preflight to followup_research/routes.py before
  the ResearchHistory row is created and the worker thread is spawned —
  mirroring the existing check in research_routes.start_research at
  ~line 365. Returns HTTP 400 with the same `Model is required` message.

Test quality (mutation analysis)
- Strengthen test_returns_none_when_llm_not_configured to distinguish
  the targeted `except ValueError` path from the outer `except Exception`
  swallow. Patches the loguru logger and asserts `warning` was called
  (specific path) and `exception` was NOT (catch-all path). Without this,
  removing the targeted block would still let the test pass.

Misc
- README "Pre-1.7 installs auto-filled gemma3:12b" → "Pre-1.6.3" since
  this PR shipped in 1.6.3.

* fix(tests): reformat settings JSON with ensure_ascii=False

Same fix as PR #3959 — the prior merge commit serialized both
default_settings.json and golden_master_settings.json with the
default ensure_ascii=True (em-dashes written as — escapes).
The test_golden_master test serializes the SettingsManager output
with ensure_ascii=False (raw — characters), so the file-to-output
comparison fails on every em-dash.

Re-serialize both files with the test's exact options:
indent=2, sort_keys=True, default=str, ensure_ascii=False.
No key changes — pure format fix.

* fix(review): address review findings on audit PR

Follow-up to the self-review of this PR. Net changes:

- news/topic_based.py: sanitize the `topic` interpolated in the
  PolicyDeniedError warning branch — the only externally-derived log
  site the original sweep missed (all 6 sites now use sanitize_for_log).
- config/llm_config.py: remove _maybe_raise_actionable_local_server_error
  and its invoke/ainvoke call sites. It was redundant with the existing
  friendly-error layer (#4027, "Site B" in run_research_process) that
  already rewrites connection failures for these providers in the exact
  Start/Follow-up Research flows, and its str()-substring gate only fired
  for ollama (the openai-SDK providers raise APIConnectionError "Connection
  error.", matching none of the patterns). llm_config.py is now identical
  to main.
- followup_research/routes.py: drop the stale "line ~365" reference and
  note the success/error key convention.
- tests: add an empty-llm.model 400 regression test for /api/followup/start
  (asserts no ResearchHistory row / worker thread); replace the fragile
  `"AI" in warning_msg` assertion with the interpolated `'AI'` topic.
- changelog.d/3767.{security,bugfix}.md: towncrier fragments for this PR's
  user-facing changes.
- docs/release_notes/1.6.3.md: describe the friendly local-server error via
  the actual #4027 mechanism instead of the removed method.

Also merges current main into the branch (was 21 commits behind);
verified the merge preserves the #4466 credential-redaction in
_log_llm_error.

* fix(review): address carried-over AI-review recommendations

- test_topic_based: decouple the topic-interpolation assertion from the
  hard-coded "AI" literal. The topic now carries a CRLF log-injection
  payload and the assertion derives the expected substring from
  sanitize_for_log(topic), additionally proving the raw CR/LF never reach
  the log line (the actual log-injection guarantee).
- release_notes/1.6.3.md: drop the contradictory "(pending)" / fold-into-
  next-release framing. The filename is 1.6.3.md and 1.6.3 already shipped,
  so this is the retroactive 1.6.3 release notes — retitled to match the
  1.6.8.md style.

fbc1a442da chore(security): SSRF housekeeping cleanups (#3931)
Two unrelated cleanup items batched as housekeeping:

1. Delete dead fetch_huggingface_pricing in pricing_fetcher.py.
   The method made an aiohttp GET to https://huggingface.co/pricing,
   logged that "HTML parsing would be needed", and returned None
   regardless. Never called in production code (cost_calculator.py and
   metrics_routes.py instantiate PricingFetcher but don't call this
   method). aiohttp/session infrastructure stays — tests still exercise
   the async context manager.

2. Add defensive .strip() to search-engine URL extraction in
   search_engine_searxng.py and search_engine_tavily.py. Search engines
   could theoretically return URLs with surrounding whitespace; the SSRF
   validator strips internally so this is purely defensive, but it also
   keeps URLs clean for logs and downstream consumers.

958c1adde3 refactor(rag): categorize /test-embedding errors instead of guessing (#4208 follow-up) (#4220)
* refactor(rag): categorize /test-embedding errors instead of guessing (#4208 follow-up)

The /api/rag/test-embedding endpoint caught every exception and ran a
keyword-match heuristic over the error text to guess whether the user
had picked an LLM by mistake. This routinely mis-categorized real
failures — including the NoSettingsContextError fixed in #4208, which
surfaced as "try a dedicated embedding model" because the underlying
message happened to contain "json".

Replace the heuristic with three categories based on the exception
type:

  - Internal LDR errors (NoSettingsContextError, KeyError,
    AttributeError, TypeError, RuntimeError) → message says "internal
    LDR error", includes the type name, and asks the user to report
    it on GitHub. The user can't fix these by changing their model.

  - Upstream provider errors (modules under openai/httpx/requests/
    urllib3/anthropic) → "The provider returned an error: <message>".

  - Anything else → verbatim "Embedding test failed for model 'X':
    <message>". No more guessing what the error means.

The "you picked an LLM by mistake" message is gone, but the UI already
labels models as (Embedding) vs (LLM — may not support embeddings) in
the dropdown and shows a hint below the selection, so the post-test
warning was largely redundant.

Tests for the three previous heuristic branches (does-not-support,
list-index-out-of-range, generic) are updated to assert the new
verbatim/categorized behavior. New tests cover the internal-bug and
upstream-provider categories explicitly.

* refactor(rag): scope internal-error attribution to LDR modules + redact secrets

Polish on the #4208 follow-up categorizer:

- Categorize 'internal LDR error' by the module the exception CLASS is
  defined in (local_deep_research.*) instead of a frozenset of builtin
  names. type(exc).__module__ is the definition site, not the raise site,
  so a bare KeyError/TypeError/RuntimeError says nothing about whether LDR
  or a provider/langchain frame produced it. On this path a malformed-but-200
  response from an OpenAI-compatible server can surface a builtin out of
  langchain's parser; the old name set told the user to 'report it on
  GitHub' for that upstream problem. Builtins now fall through to verbatim.

- Scrub the detail text with sanitize_error_message before returning it,
  so an upstream error that echoes an API key (URL/auth header) can't be
  reflected verbatim to the browser. Defense-in-depth (endpoint is
  @login_required and only returns the user's own key to their own browser).

- Tests: lock in builtins-fall-through (RuntimeError, KeyError), keep the
  LDR-module internal case (NoSettingsContextError), add a redaction test,
  and fix now-stale test names/docstrings.

* test(rag): guard upstream builtin-subclass routing; hoist sanitizer import

Addresses AI-review follow-ups on the categorizer polish:

- Add test_upstream_subclass_of_builtin_is_provider_error: a KeyError
  subclass whose __module__ is an upstream package (openai._response) must
  route to the provider branch, not the internal-LDR branch. Locks in the
  _module_matches behavior the module-based design relies on.

- Move sanitize_error_message to a top-level import next to the other
  ...security import. log_sanitizer has no LDR deps, so there is no circular
  import to avoid and the lazy import was unnecessary.

0c8f917e2f fix(ui-tests): real assertions for collection delete + subscription toggle/delete via API seeding (#4174)
* fix(ui-tests): point collection + mobile tests at the real flow

Background: \`/collections\` returns 404 — the real list page is at
\`/library/collections\`. Seven test sites navigated to the 404, so
the assertions never ran and every collection-related test reported
SKIP. Worse, the assertions were written for a hypothetical modal
flow that the app never had: \`#create-collection-btn\` is an
\`<a href="/library/collections/create">\` link and the unused
\`#create-collection-modal\` in the template is dead code (its
\`showCreateCollectionModal()\` is defined but never called).

This patch realigns two test files with what the app actually does.

CRUD collection tests (\`test_crud_operations_ci.js\`):

- \`createCollectionFormOpens\` — now verifies (a) the list page at
  \`/library/collections\` advertises an anchor to \`.../create\`
  and (b) the create page renders a form with a required name
  input and a submit button. No more dependency on click-then-modal
  behavior that doesn't exist.
- \`createCollectionFormValidation\` — navigates directly to
  \`/library/collections/create\`, attempts empty submit, asserts
  the browser's HTML5 \`:invalid\` blocks submission and we stay
  on the create page. Verifies the actual contract (the form
  uses \`required\`), not heuristic error-class scraping.
- \`collectionEditButton\` / \`collectionDeleteConfirmation\` —
  URL only (\`/collections\` → \`/library/collections\`). These
  still skip when zero collections exist; that's the right
  behavior pending fixture seeding (separate concern).

Mobile modal tests (\`test_mobile_interactions_ci.js\`):

- \`modalOpensOnMobile\` / \`modalClosesOnBackdropTap\` /
  \`modalCloseButtonAccessible\` — deleted. They tested
  modal-on-click behavior at a 404 route; the app never opened
  a modal there, so they were silent no-ops. The intent
  (mobile-fit create UX) is now covered by:
- \`createFormFitsMobile\` — sets a 375x667 mobile viewport,
  navigates to \`/library/collections/create\`, and asserts the
  form fits the screen width and the required name input is at
  least 30px tall (touch-target). Same testing intent, real flow.
- \`modalScrollableContent\` — unchanged; already targeted
  \`/settings/\` and works.

Test plan (CI=true, server with LDR_DISABLE_RATE_LIMITING=true):

- \`node test_crud_operations_ci.js\` — 5 passed / 10 skipped / 0
  failed (previously 3 passed / 12 skipped — gained two real
  assertions on the collection create flow).
- \`node test_mobile_interactions_ci.js\` — 3 passed / 5 skipped /
  0 failed (Create Form Fits Mobile reports a 269px form on a
  375px screen with a 52px name input).
- \`mobile\` and \`api-crud\` shards via \`run_all_tests.js --shard=\`
  — both 100% green.

* fix(ui-tests): point subscription tests at the real flow

Same treatment as the collection rewrite in #4127, applied to the
subscription create flow. The Create Subscription button on
/news/subscriptions is a plain <button> whose JS handler runs
\`window.location.href = '/news/subscriptions/new'\` (see
static/js/pages/subscriptions.js) — it is page navigation, not a
modal. The previous tests relied on findActionButton's click
accidentally landing on a page with some form and passed by
coincidence, not by asserting the actual contract.

test_crud_operations_ci.js:

- \`createSubscriptionFormOpens\` — verifies the list page exposes
  the create button, then navigates directly to
  /news/subscriptions/new and asserts the form has the required
  query textarea (#subscription-query) plus a submit button.
- \`subscriptionFormValidation\` — navigates directly to /new, makes
  the query empty, clicks submit, asserts the browser keeps us on
  /new with HTML5 :invalid on the required textarea. Same
  browser-contract pattern as the collection rewrite.

test_news_subscriptions_ci.js:

- \`subscriptionFormModal\` -> \`subscriptionFormPage\` — renamed
  and rewritten. The "modal" label was wrong: the app never opens
  a modal here. Now asserts the create page is reachable and the
  query textarea is present + required.
- \`subscriptionFormFields\` — was permanently SKIPped because it
  looked for fields named "query"/"frequency" etc. The actual form
  uses \`subscription-*\` ids (#subscription-query,
  #subscription-model, #subscription-search-engine,
  #subscription-strategy, #subscription-active). Selectors updated;
  this is now a real PASS instead of a silent SKIP.

Note: \`subscriptionFrequencyOptions\` and \`subscriptionTypeOptions\`
in CRUD still SKIP — those fields ("frequency" dropdown, "type"
selector) do not exist on the real form (the closest equivalents are
\`subscription-iterations\` and \`subscription-strategy\`). Either the
test names or the app schema would need to change; out of scope here.

Test plan (CI=true, server with LDR_DISABLE_RATE_LIMITING=true):

- \`node test_crud_operations_ci.js\` — 5 / 10 / 0 (same totals, but
  Subscription Create Form Opens + Validation now report the real
  contract: "TEXTAREA #subscription-query required=true" /
  ":invalid blocks submit").
- \`node test_news_subscriptions_ci.js\` — 8 / 5 / 0 (was 7 / 6 / 0
  — Subscription Form Fields is now PASS instead of SKIP).
- \`api-crud\` and \`history-news\` shards via
  \`run_all_tests.js --shard=\` — both 100% green.

Stacked on #4127 (collection-flow). Will rebase / fast-forward
when that merges.

* fix(ui-tests): real assertion for collection delete; drop dead edit test

After #4127 / #4145 / #4151 worked through the other dead-field
patterns in test_crud_operations_ci.js, the two collection
list-page tests were still SKIPping for the same reasons:

- \`collectionEditButton\` looked for an edit button on each card on
  /library/collections. The list page renders each card as a plain
  anchor link to the detail page — there is *no* per-card edit
  affordance. And the detail page has no edit UI either: \`grep -rn
  "edit\\|rename" src/.../templates/pages/collection_*.html\` returns
  nothing. Collections simply cannot be edited in the app. **Removed**
  the test — it was a permanent SKIP for a feature that does not exist.

- \`collectionDeleteConfirmation\` looked for an inline delete button
  on the list page. There isn't one. Delete lives on the detail page
  (\`#delete-collection-btn\`), and the confirmation is a *native*
  \`window.confirm()\` prompt (collection_details.js::deleteCollection),
  not a DOM modal — so even fixing the URL would not help: the old
  \`document.querySelector('.modal, ...)\` would never find a native
  dialog. **Rewritten** with end-to-end seeding:

      1. POST /library/api/collections to create a throwaway fixture.
      2. Navigate to /library/collections/<id> and click
         #delete-collection-btn.
      3. Capture the native confirm() via \`page.on('dialog')\` and
         \`dialog.dismiss()\` so the seeded collection survives for
         cleanup.
      4. Assert dialog.type === 'confirm' and the message includes
         "Are you sure" / "delete".
      5. DELETE the seeded collection via the API.

This is the first per-test API-seeding fixture in the UI suite. It
sets the pattern for the equivalent subscription / document /
history-item tests, which still SKIP for the same kind of reason
(empty DB + mismatch with native confirm()). I deliberately did not
expand scope into those here — single concern per PR.

Test plan (CI=true, server with LDR_DISABLE_RATE_LIMITING=true):

- \`node test_crud_operations_ci.js\` — Collection Delete
  Confirmation now reports:
      "confirm() prompt fired: \\"Are you sure you want to delete
       \\"ldr-ui-test-collection-<ts>\\"...""
- Net: 14 tests (was 15: collectionEditButton removed). PASS count
  goes 5 -> 6; the new PASS replaces a permanent SKIP.

Stacked on #4145.

* fix(ui-tests): real subscription toggle + delete tests via API seeding (#4180)

Extends the per-test fixture pattern from #4174 to two more
permanently-SKIPping tests in test_crud_operations_ci.js:

- \`subscriptionToggleStatus\` — was looking for buttons matching
  \`class*="toggle"\` / \`class*="pause"\` / \`class*="resume"\` /
  \`.toggle-status\` / \`input[type=checkbox]\`. The real card markup
  (pages/subscriptions.js::renderSubscriptionCard) uses
  \`<button class="btn btn-sm ldr-btn-icon" title="Pause|Resume">\`,
  none of which match the old selectors. Combined with an empty
  test DB, the test was a permanent SKIP for a real product
  feature (pause/resume) with zero current coverage.

  Now: seed an active subscription via POST /news/api/subscribe,
  click the Pause button, wait for the title to flip to "Resume",
  and assert the status badge text flipped to "paused". This
  exercises the actual pause API round-trip end-to-end.

- \`subscriptionDeleteConfirmation\` — same shape as the collection
  delete rewrite (#4174). The card delete button calls
  deleteSubscriptionDirect, which guards on a native
  window.confirm() — not a DOM modal. The old query
  \`.modal, .confirm-dialog, [role="alertdialog"]\` never matched
  anything even on a populated list.

  Now: seed an inactive subscription, click the .btn-danger inside
  the card, capture the confirm() via page.on('dialog'), and
  assert the message includes "Are you sure" / "delete". Dismiss
  to preserve the fixture for explicit cleanup.

One infrastructure pothole worth noting: navigateTo() in
test_lib/test_utils.js skips when already on the same path. Both
tests do "navigate to /news/subscriptions → seed → navigate to
/news/subscriptions again" — the second navigate is a no-op, so
the seeded card never renders. Worked around with
\`page.reload({ waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' })\`. This is the
"Bug 5" from the earlier code-reviewer audit; addressing
navigateTo() at the helper level is a separate discussion.

Test plan (CI=true, server with LDR_DISABLE_RATE_LIMITING=true):

- \`node test_crud_operations_ci.js\` reports:
    "Pause → Resume toggle works (active → paused, button retitled)"
    "confirm() prompt fired: \\"Are you sure you want to delete the
     subscription \\"ldr-ui-test-delete-<ts>\\"...\\""
- Pass count goes 6 -> 8; both new PASSes were permanent SKIPs.
- Cleanup verified in both tests via finally-block DELETE.

Stacked on #4174 (collection delete flow).

* fix(ui-tests): guard cleanup page.evaluate; correct toggle endpoint comment

The three rewritten CRUD tests ran their best-effort fixture cleanup as an
unguarded `await page.evaluate(...)` inside `finally`. The inner try/catch only
swallows the in-page fetch error; if the page is detached during cleanup the
evaluate call itself throws from the finally block, discarding the real test
result and reporting a misleading error. Wrap each cleanup evaluate in a
Node-side try/catch so cleanup can never mask the test outcome.

Also correct the subscriptionToggleStatus comment: the toggle hits
PUT /news/api/subscriptions/<id> (toggleSubscription) and re-renders the list in
place — there is no /pause endpoint and no full list reload.

* fix(ui-tests): wait for collection detail load before clicking delete

navigateTo only waits for domcontentloaded, but the collection detail page
populates collectionData via an async fetch fired on DOMContentLoaded. Because
deleteCollection() dereferences collectionData.name before calling confirm(),
clicking #delete-collection-btn before that fetch lands throws a TypeError and
no dialog fires — the test then reports a false "No confirm() dialog" failure.
This is a real flake on a contended CI runner.

Wait for #collection-name to swap in from its "Loading..." placeholder before
clicking, mirroring the waitForSelector-on-seeded-card guard the subscription
toggle/delete tests already use.

4916dd5817 feat(security): validate LLM provider base_url against SSRF rules (#3929)
* feat(security): validate LLM provider base_url against SSRF rules

LangChain provider SDKs (ChatOpenAI, ChatOllama) construct an internal
httpx client from the configured base_url and route every inference
call through it — bypassing safe_requests entirely. An authenticated
user with permission to edit llm.<provider>.url could otherwise point
inference traffic at internal services or cloud-credential endpoints.

Adds ssrf_validator.assert_base_url_safe(base_url, *, setting_key) that
wraps validate_url(allow_localhost=True, allow_private_ips=True) and
raises ValueError on rejection. ALWAYS_BLOCKED_METADATA_IPS still fires
under those permissive flags, so cloud metadata stays blocked.

Call-site changes:
- openai_base.py:create_llm + _create_llm_instance — gated on
  cls.url_setting (subclasses with hardcoded default_base_url like
  Anthropic / OpenAI / OpenRouter / xAI / IONOS skip validation; no
  operator URL to attack)
- ollama.py:list_models_for_api — graceful: swallow ValueError, return []
- ollama.py:create_llm — strict: let ValueError propagate so the
  research-query caller surfaces a clear config error
- ollama.py:is_available — graceful: swallow, return False so the
  model-list UI degrades cleanly

setting_key (not provider_name) used in error messages so operators
see the actual settings dot-path. Two pre-existing tests updated to
use http://localhost:5000/v1 instead of http://custom:5000/v1 since
the placeholder hostname doesn't resolve under the new SSRF guard.

19 new tests in tests/llm/test_provider_base_url_ssrf.py covering
metadata-IP rejection, localhost/RFC1918 acceptance, edge cases,
per-provider integration, validate-before-instantiate ordering, and
public API re-exports.

Supersedes #3778 (which addressed only openai_base.list_models_for_api
inline; this PR covers all 5 sites with a shared helper).

* test(security): decouple LLM config-passthrough tests from live DNS

The new openai_base SSRF guard (assert_base_url_safe) does a live DNS
lookup and fail-closes when a host does not resolve. The config-passthrough
tests in test_api_key_configuration.py configured public/placeholder
endpoint URLs and mocked ChatOpenAI but not the SSRF guard, so:

- test_custom_endpoint_url_configuration failed in CI because its
  placeholder host (custom-llm-provider.com) does not resolve.
- The three openrouter.ai sibling tests passed only because that domain
  resolves in CI — a latent live-DNS dependency.

Patch assert_base_url_safe to a passthrough in these four config tests,
matching the convention in tests/llm/test_provider_base_url_ssrf.py
(test_pure_provider_skips_validation patches the same symbol). The
URL/api_key passthrough assertions stay meaningful; SSRF enforcement is
covered separately by test_provider_base_url_ssrf.py. No production code
or the SSRF validator is changed.

* fix(security): guard remaining LLM base_url SSRF gaps

Two base_url construction sites still bypassed the assert_base_url_safe
guard this PR introduces (same vuln class: a user-configurable URL handed
to an SDK client / ChatOpenAI that uses its own httpx transport, bypassing
safe_requests):

- OpenAICompatibleProvider.list_models_for_api() (base class used by
  CustomOpenAIEndpoint / LMStudio / LlamaCpp) instantiated
  OpenAI(base_url=...) without guarding. Add a guard symmetric with the
  create_llm guard: only when base_url and cls.url_setting; on ValueError
  log a warning and return [] so model-listing degrades gracefully (no 500).
- OpenAIProvider.create_llm() (url_setting = None, overrides create_llm
  without calling super, so the base guard never runs) set
  openai_params[openai_api_base] from llm.openai.api_base unguarded. Guard
  it and let ValueError propagate (fail-fast at inference construction,
  matching ollama.create_llm).

Add focused tests mirroring the existing SSRF tests: list_models_for_api
returns [] and logs on a blocked metadata URL (and never builds the SDK
client); OpenAIProvider.create_llm raises on a blocked api_base; localhost

* test(security): decouple openai api_base passthrough test from live SSRF guard

test_create_llm_passes_api_base_when_set sets llm.openai.api_base to a
non-resolving placeholder and asserts it is passed through to ChatOpenAI.
The new assert_base_url_safe guard in OpenAIProvider.create_llm does a live
DNS lookup and fail-closes on the unresolvable host, breaking this
config-passthrough test.

Patch assert_base_url_safe to a passthrough at its import site in the
openai implementation module (side_effect=lambda url, **_kwargs: url),
matching the convention already used in tests/test_api_key_configuration.py
and tests/llm/test_provider_base_url_ssrf.py. The test still asserts the
api_base passthrough behavior, so it stays meaningful.

374d075f1b feat(benchmark): record LDR version + redacted settings snapshot at benchmark start (#3844)
* feat(benchmark): record LDR version + redacted settings snapshot at start

The YAML download stamps `ldr_version` and `date_tested` from the
*current* app at download time (`new Date()` and `meta[name=app-version]`
in `benchmark_results.html`). A v1.6.5 run downloaded on v1.6.7 shows
v1.6.7. We hit this debugging the SimpleQA 95.7%/1m54s reference run —
couldn't tell which LDR version produced it. The YAML also exposes only
~3 settings (temperature, context_window, max_tokens), losing the ~30-50
settings that actually affect benchmark behaviour, so cross-run
comparisons are impossible.

Record the active LDR version and a full settings snapshot on the
`BenchmarkRun` row at start time. Migration 0010 adds two nullable
columns; existing rows survive with NULL and the YAML path falls back
to "unknown (pre-0010 run)". `start_benchmark` already captures the
settings snapshot for the background thread (it just discards it after);
we redact secrets via a new `DataSanitizer.redact_settings_snapshot`
helper and persist alongside `__version__`. Snapshot capture is wrapped
defensively because `get_all_settings()` raises uncaught `LookupError`
on stale enum-mismatch rows (we hit that on the user's old DB earlier).

The plain `DataSanitizer.redact()` does not handle the nested-with-
metadata snapshot shape `{key: {value, ui_element, ...}}` — the outer
compound key isn't in the sensitive-name set and the inner `value` key
isn't either, so secrets leak. The new helper checks
`ui_element == "password"` plus key-suffix defense-in-depth and
preserves metadata so YAML diffs still show "this key existed."

`/api/history` gains the small fields (`ldr_version`, `start_time`);
`/export` gains a `metadata` block with the full settings snapshot, so
the per-page list response stays small (~80 bytes/run added) while the
download click pays the ~184 KB snapshot cost. The YAML builder now
always calls `/export`, uses `metadata.started_at` for `date_tested`
(preserving the field name that the public HuggingFace leaderboard
parser at ldr-benchmarks/scripts/build_leaderboards.py reads), and
appends a `settings:` block via a new type-aware `formatSettingValue`.

* docs: add news fragment for #3844

User-visible change: YAML download now reflects the version and
settings active when the benchmark ran, not at download time.

* fix(search): handle Wikipedia 429s and empty summary-fetch results

Two production bugs surfaced during the benchmark verification of
PR #3793 + this snapshot work, plus the stale doc that should ship
alongside.

Wikipedia 429 cascade
=====================
The `wikipedia` PyPI library calls `Response.json()` unconditionally,
so when MediaWiki rate-limits us (HTTP 429 with an HTML body), every
following `wikipedia.summary()` in the same batch raises
`JSONDecodeError`. The previous handler logged a full traceback per
title — we observed 14+ stack traces for a single rate-limited query
during yesterday's SimpleQA benchmark on Roman emperors / Japanese
manga.

Catch `(json.JSONDecodeError, requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError)`
specifically, log a single warning, and break out of the per-title
loop (every remaining title in the batch will hit the same throttle).
Same treatment for the outer `wikipedia.search()` call.

Summary-fetch empty-content / empty-summary guards
==================================================
With `summary_focus_query` now the default fetch mode (PR #3793),
`_make_summary_fetch_tool` runs against every fetched URL — including
paywalls, JS-only SPAs, and 200-but-blank pages. Two failure paths:

1. Empty page content: the LLM was being invoked to summarise an
   empty string (waste of a round-trip), and the URL was being
   registered in the citation collector with an empty snippet —
   `_register_in_collector` caches by URL, so the agent could never
   re-fetch the URL under a different focus.

2. Empty LLM summary: same cache poisoning, this time after the
   model decided nothing on the page matched the focus.

Both paths now short-circuit to `NOT RELEVANT` BEFORE registration,
leaving the URL re-fetchable. Empty content also skips the LLM call
entirely.

Stale docs/CONFIGURATION.md
===========================
The auto-generated config table still listed `search.fetch.mode`
default as `full` (the pre-#3793 value). Regenerated via
`python scripts/generate_config_docs.py`.

* docs: add news fragment for the bundled #3844 bugfixes

* fix(settings): catch LookupError in get_all_settings + redact /settings/api response (#3947)

* fix(settings): catch LookupError in get_all_settings + redact /settings/api response

Two related settings hardenings discovered during PR #3793 / #3844 verification.

LookupError fallback in SettingsManager.get_all_settings
========================================================
The DB-query handler at manager.py:780 caught only SQLAlchemyError. When
a row's `type` column holds an enum value no longer in `SettingType`
(e.g. legacy 'CHAT'-typed rows from a removed feature), SQLAlchemy
hydrates the row and raises `LookupError: 'CHAT' is not among the
defined enum values` — which propagated and crashed every caller of
`get_all_settings`: the `/settings/api` endpoint, benchmark start,
research start, MCP entry points. We hit this on a real user's old DB.

Add `LookupError` to the except clause so the snapshot falls back to
defaults-only on a stale row instead of crashing. PR #3844 already
defensively wrapped the benchmark-start path; this fixes the underlying
problem so the workaround there becomes belt-and-suspenders.

Redact /settings/api response
=============================
`api_get_all_settings` returned the full nested-with-metadata snapshot
to the frontend, including env-overridden API keys (`llm.openai.api_key`,
`search.engine.web.serper.api_key`, etc.) — anyone who could
authenticate could grab plaintext keys via a single GET. Now wraps the
response in `DataSanitizer.redact_settings_snapshot` (introduced in
PR #3844) so password-typed values come back as `[REDACTED]`.

Verified safe to ship: no JS caller round-trips the bulk endpoint's
values into a form (the settings form is server-rendered from the
template directly), so redacting the JSON does not break the UI. The
template still pre-fills password inputs with raw values — that's a
separate template-level UX concern (filed as out-of-scope follow-up).

Depends on PR #3844 for the `redact_settings_snapshot` helper.

* docs: news fragments for PR #3947

* chore(migrations): renumber 0010 → 0013 to follow current head

Main has since landed 0010_add_chat_tables. Rename PR's migration:

  0010_benchmark_run_version_and_snapshot.py → 0013_benchmark_run_version_and_snapshot.py

Update revision id (0010→0013) and down_revision (0009→0012, assuming
#3772 lands as 0011 and #3716 as 0012; user can re-renumber if order differs).
Update test references to the new revision number.

Prep commit; next commit merges main.

* test: mark benchmark export metadata test as intentional no-SUT-import

The test exercises the export endpoint indirectly through helpers
imported from a sibling coverage suite (_make_app,
_make_export_query_router, _patch_auth_and_db), which in turn import
from local_deep_research. The check-shadow-tests hook (added in #4356)
doesn't follow re-export chains, so it sees no direct
`local_deep_research` import and flags this as a shadow test.

Add the `# allow: no-sut-import — …` marker per the hook's convention.

* fix(db): renumber benchmark migration 0013→0014 (resolve collision with 0013_remove_meta_search_engines)

Main's 0013 is 0013_remove_meta_search_engines (#4534); this branch's
benchmark migration was still numbered 0013 (down_revision 0012), a
revision-id collision and a second head at 0012. Renumber to 0014 with
down_revision 0013 so the chain is linear:
0012 → 0013_remove_meta → 0014_benchmark.

Also update the stale test (named/asserting 0010 from before an earlier
0010→0013 renumber): rename to test_migration_0014_*, anchor the
hand-built legacy DB at 0013 and upgrade the single 0014 delta, and
complete the expected-files list in test_alembic_migrations.py
(0011/0012/0013_remove were missing).

* docs(db): finish 0013→0014 renumber — update migration log + pre-migration comments

Leftover '0010' references in the renamed benchmark migration (log line,
docstring) and in benchmark_routes.py comments describing pre-migration
rows now read '0014', matching the renumbered revision. Comment/log text
only — no behavior change.

* docs(benchmark): fix remaining stale '0010' migration refs to 0014

Model comment + two benchmark test docstrings/names still referenced
'migration 0010' after the benchmark migration was renumbered to 0014.
Comment/test-name only — renamed test_pre_0010_row_returns_null... to
...0014... for accuracy.

* fix(benchmark): YAML version fallback must not stamp current app version on old runs

AI review caught that the download JS fell back to the current app
version for pre-migration rows:
  meta.ldr_version || run.ldr_version || appVersionMeta || 'unknown ...'
Both ldr_version fields are null for pre-0014 rows, so the chain fell
through to appVersionMeta (today's version) — reproducing the exact
'wrong version on an old run' bug this feature exists to fix. Drop
appVersionMeta from the chain; pre-0014 rows now read
'unknown (pre-0014 run)'.

Also fixes the stale '0010' references I missed in non-.py files
(benchmark_results.html ×3, changelog.d/3844.feature.md, a benchmark
test comment) — the renumber sweep had only covered .py. The real
0010_add_chat_tables references are untouched.

And clarifies the best-effort settings-snapshot catch in start_benchmark:
the enum case is handled inside get_all_settings; the broad outer catch
is the resilience backstop and logs a full traceback (exception class
included) — kept deliberately so a snapshot-capture failure never blocks
starting a benchmark.

* feat(benchmark): make settings snapshot opt-in in YAML download

The benchmark YAML always embedded the full run-time settings snapshot.
Even with secrets redacted, that exposes internal endpoint URLs and local
paths — a problem for the feature's own public-leaderboard use case. Make
it opt-in:

- Default download = summary only (model/provider/strategy/config/version/
  date), all still run-time-sourced. No settings: block.
- New Export dropdown (replaces the two YAML buttons, mirrors results.html)
  with an 'Include settings snapshot' checkbox (default off). When checked,
  both the summary and +examples downloads append the redacted snapshot.
- downloadBenchmarkYAML gains an includeSettings flag gating the
  formatSettingsSnapshot append; the /export fetch passes ?include_settings=1
  only when opted in.
- Backend export endpoint skips loading/returning the ~184KB settings_snapshot
  column unless ?include_settings is set, so the default download doesn't
  transfer a blob it would discard.
- Changelog reflects opt-in; tests: export-endpoint opt-in/omitted-by-default,
  Puppeteer Export-dropdown presence + default-off checkbox.

Pre-0014 rows still render 'settings: null' when opted in (unchanged).

* refactor(benchmark): normalize include_settings query parsing (AI review)

Case-insensitive .lower() in ("1","true") instead of listing "True"
explicitly. Behaviour unchanged for the frontend (sends ?include_settings=1).

* style(benchmark): ruff format include_settings parse

* refactor(benchmark): narrow settings-snapshot catch to recoverable errors (AI review)

Catch only (SQLAlchemyError, LookupError, ValueError) around
get_all_settings instead of bare Exception. The expected stale-enum
failure still degrades to an empty snapshot (ldr_version preserved),
but a genuine programming error now propagates to the outer handler
that logs a full traceback and marks the run FAILED, rather than being
silently swallowed into a degraded benchmark.

99041bf3d2 docs(resource-cleanup): record asyncio.run loop does not reproduce #3816 (#4143)
Closed PR #3930 explored an opt-in manual smoke suite that ran
await ainvoke() in a loop against a real Ollama to reproduce the
eventpoll-FD accumulation from #3816. It did not reproduce — a
single-thread asyncio.run(ainvoke) loop deterministically closes
its loop's selector each call, so eventpoll FDs do not accumulate.
Reliable reproduction needs sustained concurrent load (multi-worker
harness over a shared loop).

Recording the empirical finding under "Intentionally not done" so the
next leak hunter does not re-implement the same suite and rediscover
the same negative result. Points to the existing in-CI tests in
tests/utilities/test_close_base_llm.py as the regression coverage for
the close-chain introspection branches.

784864fd31 fix(security): extract sanitize_error_message to standalone function + strengthen patterns (#4466)
* refactor(security): extract sanitize_error_message to standalone function

Extract the regex-based credential sanitizer from
BaseSearchEngine._sanitize_error_message to a standalone
sanitize_error_message() function in security/log_sanitizer.py so
non-engine code (LLM config, error handling) can reuse it.

Two fixes to the existing patterns:
- Add `api-key` to the URL param alternation (Guardian uses this)
- Change sk-/pk- char class to include hyphens for modern key formats
  (sk-proj-..., sk-ant-api03-...)

* fix(security): run URL-credentials redaction before URL-param redaction

If a query-param value is itself a URL with embedded credentials
(?api-key=https://user:pass@host), the param pattern consumed the
'https' scheme first, so the URL-credentials pattern no longer
matched and user:pass leaked into the sanitized message. Running
the credentials pattern first fixes this for every param spelling
(the key=/token= variants had the same pre-existing interaction).

The reverse order is safe: anything the credentials pattern consumes
is replaced by [REDACTED] literals, so it cannot expose text the
param pattern would have caught.

Found by adversarial fuzzing (200k inputs) of old vs. new patterns.

* chore: fix stale docstring example, drop duplicate test

The _sanitize_error_message docstring example used an 11-char key that
the 20+-char pattern never matched, and showed the wrong replacement
token. test_none_like_empty_passthrough was byte-identical to
test_empty_string_passthrough.

* fix(security): harden credential leak vectors across 5 code paths (#4468)

* fix(security): harden credential leak vectors across 5 code paths

Fix remaining credential leak vectors found during PR #4452 audit:

- PubMed: Replace 5 bare logger.exception() calls with dual-scrub
  (sanitize_error_message + redact_secrets + logger.warning)
- Base class run(): Sanitize error_message at 3 locations before it
  flows to SearchTracker.record_search (database persistence)
- LLM config: Replace _log_llm_error's logger.exception (which
  explicitly re-logged URLs without redaction) with logger.warning +
  dual-scrub
- Google PSE: Replace bare raise in _validate_connection with
  type(e)(safe_msg) from None to sanitize the re-raised exception
- OpenAI compat errors: Replace {exc!s} with
  sanitize_error_message(str(exc)) in the Details suffix

* fix(security): harden credential leak vectors across 7 more engines (#4474)

Replace logger.exception with dual-scrub pattern (sanitize_error_message
+ redact_secrets + logger.warning) in GitHub, Elasticsearch, Paperless,
Semantic Scholar, Brave, NASA ADS, and Guardian search engines. Store
credentials on self where needed for redaction access.

* fix(security): redact ES password in query_string/DSL search catch blocks

search_by_query_string and search_by_dsl passed only _api_key to
redact_secrets, while the other three Elasticsearch catch blocks also
pass _password. A basic-auth password surfaced in a client error (not
in https://user:pass@host URL form, which sanitize_error_message
already catches) would leak via these two paths. Pass _password too,
making all five ES catch blocks consistent.

Adds a regression test that fails without this change.

* test(security): set settings_snapshot on DB-persist test engine

test_error_message_sanitized_before_db_persist builds its engine via
__new__, bypassing __init__ (which always sets settings_snapshot or {}).
run()'s egress-verification path reads self.settings_snapshot; when a
sibling test arms the global egress audit net during a parallel CI run,
this raised AttributeError, turning the green-in-isolation test red in
the full suite. Set settings_snapshot = {} on the fixture to match
__init__ and remove the ordering dependency.

* fix(security): dual-scrub the log path in BaseSearchEngine.run()

The three run() exception handlers dual-scrubbed the DB-bound
error_message but the log-bound safe_msg used redact_secrets alone
(literal values only, no regex). A foreign credential in the
exception (e.g. https://user:pass@host where user:pass is not the
engine's own api_key) was therefore redacted in the DB but leaked
into the log. Apply sanitize_error_message to safe_msg in all three
blocks so the log path matches the DB path.

Adds a regression test that fails without the fix (foreign URL
credential, caught only by the regex layer, not by the literal pass).

Note: the same single-scrub-log pattern exists in several engine and
LLM-provider catch blocks (all pre-existing on main, not added here);
those are left for the _scrub_error base-helper follow-up that will
make every call site dual-scrub by construction.

33f410ed3d fix(security): force diagnose=False on the file sink too (#4182) (#4568)
Final piece of the #4182 logging chokepoint. The optional file sink
(LDR_ENABLE_FILE_LOGGING) still honored LDR_LOGURU_DIAGNOSE, so an
operator with debug + diagnose + file logging all enabled could persist
frame-local credentials — including the unrecoverable SQLCipher master
password (TRUST.md §5) — into an unencrypted log file. It now runs with
diagnose=False, matching the DB and frontend sinks; frame-local exception
dumps render only to the ephemeral stderr sink. This makes the code match
the policy the comment above the sink block already states ('ONLY on the
ephemeral, local stderr sink').

Renames test_diagnose_propagates_to_file_sink ->
test_file_sink_never_gets_diagnose and updates it to assert the file sink
is diagnose=False even when the opt-in is on. Mutation-verified: reverting
the file sink to diagnose=diagnose fails the test.

6762ccfaf5 fix(library): don't quarantine healthy FAISS index when embedding provider is down (#4512)
* fix(library): don't quarantine healthy FAISS index when embedding provider is down

load_or_create_faiss_index ran the embedding dimension probe
(embed_query('dimension_check')) inside the try-block whose except
assumes 'corrupt index file'. When the embedding provider was merely
unreachable (e.g. Ollama not running), the probe raised, the except
quarantined a perfectly healthy index (renamed to .corrupt-*) and
silently replaced it with an empty in-memory one. Once the provider
came back, the collection searched an empty index - zero results with
no hint why - until the user manually reindexed (and quarantined files
may be pruned later).

Hoist the probe out of the try-block so a provider outage propagates
as a clear error and the index files stay untouched. Quarantine still
applies to genuine FAISS.load_local failures (torn .pkl, malformed
pickle), which do not depend on the provider.

Found while diagnosing #4503 (research error 'Error searching
collection' with Ollama down).

b0f5c1f5fa test(db): lock in LDR_TEST_MODE boolean parsing for the KDF floor (#4565)
* test(db): lock in LDR_TEST_MODE boolean parsing for the KDF floor

Follow-up coverage from the #4564 review. _get_min_kdf_iterations() now
parses LDR_TEST_MODE via to_bool(); add direct unit tests that pin both
ends of that behaviour:
- falsey values (0/false/False/no/off) must NOT relax the floor — this
  is the exact regression #4564 fixed, and these fail on the old
  bare-truthiness code
- the full truthy set (true/TRUE/yes/on/enabled) must relax it, guarding
  against a future narrowing to a 3-value parser

Also move the integration test's requested KDF (50000) off the registry
min_value boundary (1000) so it exercises the KDF-floor clamp rather than
the registry's range validation, and stays robust if that min is raised.

Test-only; no behaviour change.

Addresses review feedback on the test-coverage PR:

  clearing it is required to isolate the LDR_TEST_MODE behaviour)
- add an unrecognised string ("banana") to the falsey set so an arbitrary
  truthy-looking value is proven NOT to relax the floor

aced529e70 fix(settings): collapse sections by default on mobile (#4032)
* fix(settings): collapse sections by default on mobile

The Settings page renders ~400 controls across ~57 sections. On mobile
this produced a page taller than 16,384 px — Puppeteer's screenshot
ceiling and a genuine UX disaster for the user, who had to scroll
forever to find anything. `initAccordions` now starts every section
collapsed at the `(max-width: 767px)` breakpoint; desktop keeps the
previous "all expanded" default so power-user workflows are unchanged.

Active search overrides the collapse — when the user types in the
filter, surviving sections are force-expanded so matches aren't hidden
behind a tap.

The AJAX save handlers attach per-input listeners on input/select/
textarea elements directly, not via FormData on the form, so
`display: none` on the collapsed section body does not break saves.

Page height on mobile (Pixel 5 viewport) drops from > 16,384 px to
~7,300 px in local measurement.

CSS: tighten section-header layout on mobile back to a row (was
stacking title above chevron in `settings.css:1419`, which buried the
chevron affordance), enforce 44 px touch target, and give the toggle
icon a 32×32 hit area.

Tests:
- New `settings-mobile-collapse.spec.js` pins initial state per
  viewport, page-height ceiling, search-forces-expand, and tap-toggle.
- `settings-filter-behavior.spec.js` updated to wait with
  `state: 'attached'` since the rows are now DOM-attached but hidden
  on mobile before the first user tap.

* docs(changelog): add 4032 bugfix entry

* refactor(settings): drive chevron rotation via CSS, extract mobile breakpoint

Address reviewer feedback on PR #4032:

- Remove inline `icon.style.transform` mutations from initAccordions
  (init, expand, and click-handler branches). The `collapsed` class is
  already toggled on the header in all three paths, and settings.css:234
  rotates the `.ldr-settings-toggle-icon` container based on that class —
  so the inline transforms were redundant and were compounding with the
  container rotation to point the chevron at -180deg instead of -90deg.

- Extract the 767px mobile threshold into `MOBILE_BREAKPOINT_PX` and
  expose it via `window.__LDR_MOBILE_BREAKPOINT_PX` so the Playwright
  spec reads from the same source. CSS still hardcodes 767 in its own
  `@media` rules (CSS can't read JS values); a comment in
  settings-mobile-fix.css warns future editors to keep the literals in
  sync.

* ci(playwright): run settings-mobile-collapse spec in WebKit suite

The new settings-mobile-collapse.spec.js lived in tests/ui_tests/playwright/
but no CI job ran it: the PR-level UI checks use the Puppeteer run_all_tests.js
runner, and the only workflow that invokes `npx playwright test` against that
dir (this nightly WebKit suite) filters to an explicit allowlist that did not
include the new spec. So the mobile-collapse fix had zero CI coverage.

Add settings-mobile-collapse to both the Desktop Safari and Mobile Safari
filters. The spec branches on isMobileViewport(), so it is meaningful on both:
Desktop Safari asserts sections stay expanded, Mobile Safari asserts they
collapse by default, the page clears the 16384px ceiling, and tap toggles.

1b81e80293 fix(security): close password frame-locals leak class at the sink + targeted sweep (#4182) (#4555)
* fix(security): close password frame-locals leak class at sink + targeted sweep (#4182)

Found during review of #4553: the diagnose=True frame-locals leak class
spans ~16 more files beyond the #4530/#4540 core sweep. Most are unrelated
error handlers in big multi-purpose functions that merely happen to have a
password param in scope, so blanket-converting them would strip useful
tracebacks. Address it at two levels instead:

1. Sink-level chokepoint (utilities/log_utils.py): force diagnose=False on
   the database sink (persists into the user's encrypted DB) and the
   frontend sink (ships to the browser). diagnose stays available only on
   the local stderr/file sinks the operator explicitly opted into. This
   stops loguru from ever rendering frame-local credentials into a durable
   or remote sink, covering every credential-bearing handler app-wide
   regardless of per-site logging discipline.

2. Targeted per-site sweep of the credential-centric session helpers where
   the master password is the operative secret: metrics/search_tracker,
   metrics/token_counter, database/library_init,
   database/backup/backup_executor, web_search_engines/rate_limiting/tracker,
   research_library/.../research_history_indexer. logger.exception ->
   logger.warning (15 sites; all static messages, nothing to redact). Added
   these modules to test_password_redaction_invariant's SWEPT_MODULES.

Big route/service handlers (research_service, research_routes, rag_routes,
auth, news, ...) are intentionally NOT blanket-converted: they keep full
tracebacks for unrelated errors and are protected by the sink-level guard.

* test(log_utils): add sink-diagnose policy test + update existing diagnose tests

- New TestDiagnoseSinkPolicy in test_log_utils_coverage: asserts the DB
  and frontend sinks are diagnose=False even when LDR_LOGURU_DIAGNOSE is
  opted in, while stderr honors the opt-in. Mutation-verified.
- Update three test_log_utils_extended tests that asserted diagnose
  propagated to *all* sinks; they now assert the new policy (stderr/file
  honor the opt-in; DB + frontend forced off).

* test(context-overflow): match overflow warning by anchor, not call position

The targeted #4182 sweep converted token_counter._save_to_db's except
from logger.exception to logger.warning. The metrics-save path runs after
overflow detection in these tests, so the overflow warning is no longer
the *last* logger.warning call. Match it by its stable 'Context overflow
detected' anchor across all warning calls via a small helper, instead of
asserting on mock_logger.warning.call_args[0] (the last call).

* test(log_utils): key file-sink diagnose assertion by sink identity, not call index

Addresses #4555 review nit: test_diagnose_propagates_to_file_sink asserted
on calls[3] assuming the file sink is always the 4th logger.add() call.
Switch to a sink-keyed lookup (stderr / database_sink / frontend sink by
identity; file sink as the remaining Path sink) so a future reorder in
config_logger can't silently break the assertion.

703efd3a05 fix(security): parse LDR_TEST_MODE as a boolean for the KDF floor (#4564)
_get_min_kdf_iterations() relaxes the SQLCipher KDF minimum to a test
value when LDR_TEST_MODE is set, but it used a bare truthiness check on
the raw env string. Any non-empty value — including LDR_TEST_MODE=0 or
=false — therefore enabled the relaxed floor, silently weakening DB
encryption for someone who set the flag explicitly to turn test mode
OFF. Parse it via the existing to_bool() helper so only genuinely-truthy
values (1/true/yes/on/enabled) relax the floor.

PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST stays presence-based: pytest sets it to a
descriptive non-boolean string, so its mere presence signals a test run.

Adds a regression test asserting LDR_TEST_MODE in {0,false,no,off} keeps
the production minimum (low requested values clamp to the default).

66754e8378 fix(metrics): record LLM calls when provider reports no token usage (#4473)
* fix(metrics): allow token metrics for non-encrypted databases (#4457)

The background thread path in _save_to_db() unconditionally required
user_password from research_context. For non-encrypted databases,
get_user_password() returns None (no password exists), so all token
metrics were silently dropped with a warning log. Research ran fine
but the metrics pages showed "No token usage data yet."

Make the password check conditional on db_manager.has_encryption.
Also add ModelUsage upsert to the thread-safe writer (previously
only the MainThread path updated ModelUsage aggregates).

* fix(metrics): record LLM calls even when provider reports no token usage

Root cause of #4457: when the LLM provider returns no usage data
(OpenAI-compatible servers omitting 'usage' on streamed responses,
proxies stripping it, Ollama omitting prompt_eval_count for fully-cached
prompts), on_llm_end skipped _save_to_db entirely. Zero TokenUsage rows
meant every metrics page (token use, model use, context-overflow,
Recent LLM Calls, Developer Insights) rendered as if LDR had never been
used, while researches completed normally.

Verified end-to-end against an isolated encrypted-DB instance with a
fake Ollama server: with usage fields, metrics record on both main and
v1.7.0; without them, researches complete but zero rows are written.
With this fix the call is recorded with zero token counts (model,
provider, phase, response time and context-overflow estimates are still
real data) plus a warning log naming the provider.

* feat(metrics): opt-in stream_usage setting for openai_endpoint provider

Adds llm.openai_endpoint.stream_usage (default off). When enabled,
ChatOpenAI sends stream_options.include_usage so streamed responses
report real token counts instead of being recorded as zero-count calls.

Off by default and opt-in only: some OpenAI-compatible gateways (xAI,
Databricks AI Gateway, Azure 'on your data') reject requests containing
stream_options with a 400, which would break the call entirely. This
mirrors upstream langchain-openai, which auto-enables stream_usage only
for the official api.openai.com base URL for the same reason.

The zero-usage warning log now points openai_endpoint users at the
setting when their server supports it (LM Studio 0.3.18+, llama.cpp,
vLLM, OpenRouter).

* fix(metrics): encryption-aware search/rate-limit metric writes; honor period in research count

Two follow-ups to the #4457 family of silent metrics drops:

1. search_tracker.py and rate_limiting/tracker.py still hard-required
   user_password before any metrics DB access (6 sites), silently
   dropping search metrics and rate-limit estimates for non-encrypted
   databases — the same bug class fixed for token metrics earlier in
   this PR. Added metrics_password_available() in thread_metrics and
   gated all sites on it.

2. _get_metrics_from_encrypted_db filtered the ResearchHistory count
   with period values 'today'/'week'/'month', but the API only ever
   sends '7d'/'30d'/'3m'/'1y' — no branch matched, so 'total researches'
   on /metrics ignored the selected period and always showed all-time.
   Extracted get_period_cutoff() in query_utils (shared with
   get_time_filter_condition) and compare isoformat strings against the
   TEXT created_at column.

* fix(metrics): widen set_user_password to Optional[str] for unencrypted DBs

mypy: the encryption-aware gates now legitimately pass password=None
through to set_user_password for non-encrypted databases; get_session()
is the layer that enforces a real password when encryption is on.

* fix(metrics): honor 3m/1y period in all analytics; dedupe no-usage warning

Review follow-ups for #4473:

- F4: ratings, link and strategy analytics (metrics_routes.py) computed
  their day window via get_period_days, whose map only knew '90d'/'365d'.
  The main dashboard sends '3m'/'1y', so picking '3 months' or '1 year'
  silently fell back to 30 days. Made PERIOD_DAYS_MAP a superset of both
  UI vocabularies (the standalone link-analytics page still sends
  90d/365d) and routed get_period_cutoff through get_period_days so there
  is a single period vocabulary across every metrics endpoint.

- F2: the 'provider returned no token usage' warning fired on every LLM
  call; a 50-call research logged 50 identical lines. Now logged once per
  research session via a _warned_no_usage flag — calls are still recorded
  every time, only the warning is deduplicated.

Note: the earlier-flagged ModelUsage None-model concern (F1) was verified
a non-issue — on_llm_start always resolves current_model/provider to
'unknown', so None never reaches the nullable=False columns.

* revert(metrics): drop encryption-aware password relaxation (false premise)

The has_encryption-aware password checks were built on the premise that
non-encrypted databases have no password. That premise is false:
unencrypted-mode users still register/login with a real password, which
is stored in session_password_store and returned by get_user_password()
normally — research_context['user_password'] is None only on session
loss, the same failure mode as encrypted mode. The relaxation was also
half-broken: open_user_database/create_user_database validate the key
unconditionally and raise on None even for unencrypted DBs, so a None
password only survived on an engine cache hit and failed on cache miss.
The rest of the app already handles unencrypted-no-password with a
placeholder string (database_middleware 'dummy', session_context
UNENCRYPTED_DB_PLACEHOLDER), never None.

Reverts the password-check changes in thread_metrics.get_session,
token_counter._save_to_db, search_tracker and rate_limiting/tracker
back to requiring a password (matching origin/main), and removes the
metrics_password_available helper and its tests.

Keeps the real, verified fixes: zero-count recording when the provider
reports no usage (the actual #4457 fix), the ModelUsage upsert parity in
the background-thread path, the opt-in stream_usage setting, and the
unified period vocabulary.

* test(metrics): patch get_setting_from_snapshot at source for stream_usage tests

Main refactored openai_base.py to import get_setting_from_snapshot inside
its methods (function-local) to avoid a circular import, so the
module-level attribute my stream_usage tests patched no longer exists and
CI failed with AttributeError. Patch the source module
(config.thread_settings.get_setting_from_snapshot) instead, matching the
updated pre-existing test_create_llm_uses_custom_url_from_settings.
