## [Unreleased]

### Added - Agent Hot-Reload: Stable Identity and Zero-Downtime Config Reload

#### `vapora-agents` — stable_id, drain/respawn, SIGHUP, REST endpoint

- **`AgentMetadata::stable_id`** (`registry.rs`): New `#[serde(default)]` field computed as `role.clone()` at construction, before the `role` field is moved. `stable_id_or_role()` helper returns `stable_id` if non-empty, otherwise falls back to `role` for backward compatibility with serialized records that predate this change.
- **Profile key switch** (`coordinator.rs`): `assign_task` and `load_all_learning_profiles` now look up `learning_profiles` by `stable_id_or_role()` instead of the ephemeral UUID `id`. Learning expertise accumulated across any number of restarts or hot-reloads is no longer orphaned.
- **KG execution records** (`executor.rs`): The `agent_id` field written to SurrealDB on task completion now uses `stable_id_or_role()` (= role) instead of the per-instance UUID. Execution history is partitioned by role, consistent with how profiles are keyed.
- **`AgentRegistry::drain_role`** (`registry.rs`): Removes all agents for a given role from the registry and clears `running_count`, enabling immediate re-registration without hitting `MaxAgentsReached`.
- **`AgentRegistry::list_roles`** (`registry.rs`): Returns the sorted list of distinct roles currently registered.
- **`AgentCoordinator::drain_role`** (`coordinator.rs`): Calls `registry.drain_role`, then drops the corresponding `Sender` entries from `executor_channels`. Dropping the `Sender` closes the mpsc channel; each executor's `while let Some(task) = rx.recv().await` loop exits after draining buffered messages — no explicit shutdown signal needed. `learning_profiles` is untouched.
- **`AgentCoordinator::registry_arc`** (`coordinator.rs`): New accessor returning `Arc<AgentRegistry>`, used by the `/reload` endpoint to obtain the registry without exposing coordinator internals.
- **`reload_agents`** (`server.rs`): Async function that (1) drains all active roles, (2) re-spawns capability executors from `CapabilityRegistry`, (3) re-spawns config agents not covered by capabilities, (4) returns the new total agent count. Learning profiles survive the entire sequence.
- **SIGHUP handler** (`server.rs`): `tokio::signal::unix::signal(SignalKind::hangup())` drives a `while sighup.recv().await.is_some()` loop calling `handle_sighup_reload`. The `is_some()` guard prevents a spin-loop if the signal stream closes during runtime shutdown.
- **`POST /reload` endpoint** (`server.rs`): HTTP entry point for operators and CI pipelines. Loads a fresh config from `config_path`, calls `reload_agents`, returns `{"reloaded": true, "agents": N}` on success or `500` with error detail on failure.
- **Availability window documented**: `reload_agents` has a brief window (typically sub-millisecond) between drain and re-registration during which `assign_task` returns `NoAvailableAgent`. Callers must handle and retry. `BudgetManager` and `LLMRouter` are not reloaded; changes to those require a process restart.

#### Tests added (`vapora-agents`)

- `test_stable_id_deterministic` — two `AgentMetadata::new("developer", ...)` produce distinct `id` but identical `stable_id = "developer"`
- `test_stable_id_or_role_fallback` — empty `stable_id` falls back to `role`
- `test_drain_role` — after `drain_role("developer")`, reviewer agents persist and developer count is zero
- `test_list_roles` — returns correct sorted list after mixed-role registrations
- `test_profile_survives_role_drain` — `get_learning_profile("developer")` returns `Some` after `drain_role("developer")`

#### Clippy fixes (pre-existing, unblocked by this change)

- `vapora-workflow-engine/src/config.rs`: 4× `std::io::Error::new(ErrorKind::Other, ...)` → `std::io::Error::other(...)`
- `vapora-llm-router/src/budget.rs`: 4× same pattern
- `vapora-llm-router/src/config.rs`: 3× same pattern
- `vapora-agents/src/config.rs`: 4× same pattern

### Fixed - Stub Elimination: Real Implementations for 6 Hollow Integration Points

#### `vapora-backend` — WorkflowOrchestrator and WorkflowService wiring

- **`WorkflowOrchestrator` was never injected** (`main.rs`): `POST /schedules/:id/fire` always returned 503 because `app_state.workflow_orchestrator` was always `None`. Fixed: non-fatal NATS connect + `WorkflowOrchestrator::new(config, swarm, kg, nats, db)` in `main.rs`; 503 only when NATS is genuinely unavailable.
- **`WorkflowService` was missing from `AppState`**: `api/workflows.rs` existed with all handlers referencing `state.workflow_service`, but the field did not exist — module was commented out with `// TODO: Phase 4`. Fixed:
  - `workflow_service: Option<Arc<WorkflowService>>` added to `AppState`
  - `with_workflow_service(Arc<WorkflowService>)` builder added
  - Non-fatal init chain in `main.rs`: `AgentRegistry → AgentCoordinator → StepExecutor → WorkflowEngine + WorkflowBroadcaster + AuditTrail → WorkflowService`
  - `pub mod workflows` uncommented in `api/mod.rs`
  - `.nest("/api/v1/workflows", api::workflows::workflow_routes())` added to router; 503 on coordinator init failure
- **`get_workflow_audit` Result bug**: `workflow_service.get_audit_trail(&id).await` returned `anyhow::Result<Vec<AuditEntry>>` but the result was used directly as `Vec<AuditEntry>` — compile-time oversight. Fixed with `.map_err(|e| ApiError(...))?`.

#### `vapora-llm-router` — `try_fallback_with_budget` was a no-op

- `try_fallback_with_budget` iterated the fallback provider list but never called any provider — the loop body only collected names. Fixed: accepts `prompt: String` + `context: Option<String>`; calls `provider.complete(prompt.clone(), context.clone()).await`; logs cost on success, logs error on per-provider failure, returns `AllProvidersFailed` only when all are exhausted.
- `complete_with_budget` now clones `prompt`/`context` before the primary call so ownership is available for the fallback path.
- Pre-existing `cost as u32` no-op casts removed (both occurrences).

#### `vapora-tracking` — hollow VAPORA integration layer

- `TrackingPlugin::on_task_completed`: was `Ok(())`. Now constructs a real `TrackingEntry` (`source: WorkflowYaml`, `impact: Backend`) and calls `self.db.insert_entry(&entry).await?`.
- `TrackingPlugin::on_document_created`: was `Ok(())`. Now constructs a real `TrackingEntry` (`source: CoderChanges`, `impact: Docs`, `files_affected: 1`, `details_link: Some(path)`) and persists it.
- `events` module (`#[cfg(feature = "async-nats")]`): `NatsPublisher` struct implemented — wraps `Arc<async_nats::Client>`, `publish_entry_created(&TrackingEntry)` serializes to JSON and publishes to `{prefix}.{source:?}` subject.

#### `vapora-doc-lifecycle` — workspace integration + all three plugin stubs

- Crate added to workspace members (was completely isolated — `cargo check -p vapora-doc-lifecycle` returned "no match").
- `Cargo.toml`: broken `doc-lifecycle-core` path fixed (`../doc-lifecycle-core` → correct relative path to `Tools/doc-lifecycle-manager/crates/doc-lifecycle-core`).
- `error.rs`: added `From<std::io::Error>`.
- `classify_session_docs(task_id)`: scans `.coder/` directory via async stack-walk (`collect_md_docs`), calls `Classifier::classify(path, Some(content))` on each `.md` file, logs type + confidence.
- `consolidate_docs()`: scans `config.docs_root`, calls `Consolidator::find_duplicates(&docs)`, warns on each `SimilarityMatch` with path pair and score.
- `update_rag_index()`: scans `config.docs_root`, chunks each doc via `RagIndexer::chunk_document`, calls `generate_embeddings`, zips embeddings back into `chunk.metadata.embedding`, calls `build_index`.
- `documenter.rs`: added `nats: Option<Arc<async_nats::Client>>` field + `with_nats()` builder.
- `update_root_files(task_id)`: appends timestamped line to `{docs_root}/CHANGES.md` using `OpenOptions::append`.
- `publish_docs_updated_event(task_id)`: JSON payload `{event, task_id, timestamp}` published to `config.nats_subject` when NATS is configured; debug-logged and skipped when not.

#### `audit/mod.rs` — Merkle tamper-evident audit trail (previous session)

- **Replaced append-only log** with a hash-chained Merkle audit trail.
- `block_hash = SHA256(prev_hash|seq|entry_id|timestamp_rfc3339|workflow_id|event_type|actor|details_json)` — modifying any field invalidates the hash and every subsequent entry.
- `prev_hash` on the genesis entry is `GENESIS_HASH` (64 zeros).
- `write_lock: Arc<Mutex<()>>` serializes writes so `(seq, prev_hash)` fetched from DB is always consistent.
- `verify_integrity(workflow_id) -> IntegrityReport` — recomputes every block hash from stored fields; returns `IntegrityReport { valid: bool, total_entries, first_tampered_seq: Option<i64> }`.
- `AuditEntry` gains `prev_hash: String` and `block_hash: String` fields; SurrealDB schema updated.
- **ADR-0039**: design rationale, limitations (truncation, single-process lock, no HMAC key), and deferred alternatives (NATS append-only stream, HMAC authentication).

---

### Added - Security Layer: SSRF Protection and Prompt Injection Scanning

#### `vapora-backend/src/security/` — new module

- `ssrf::validate_url(raw: &str) -> Result<Url, SsrfError>` — rejects non-http/https schemes, loopback, RFC 1918 private ranges, RFC 6598 shared space, link-local/cloud-metadata endpoints (`169.254.169.254`), `.local`/`.internal` TLDs, IPv6 unique-local/link-local; 13 unit tests
- `ssrf::validate_host(host: &str) -> Result<(), SsrfError>` — standalone host validation callable without a full URL
- `prompt_injection::scan(input: &str) -> Result<(), PromptInjectionError>` — 60+ patterns across 5 categories: instruction override, role confusion, delimiter injection (newline-prefixed), token injection (`<|im_start|>`, `<<SYS>>`, `[/inst]`), data exfiltration probing; 32 KiB hard cap; 11 unit tests
- `prompt_injection::sanitize(input: &str, max_chars: usize) -> String` — strips null bytes and non-printable control characters, preserves newline/tab/CR; truncates at `max_chars`

#### Integration points

- **`main.rs` — channel SSRF filter**: channels with literal URLs that fail SSRF validation are now dropped from `config.channels` before `ChannelRegistry::from_map`. Previously the check logged a warning but passed the channel through unchanged (bug: "will be disabled" message was incorrect). Status escalated from `warn!` to `error!`.
- **`api/rlm.rs`**: `load_document` scans and sanitizes `content` before indexing (stored chunks become LLM context); `query_document` scans `query`; `analyze_document` scans and sanitizes `query` before `dispatch_subtask`
- **`api/tasks.rs`**: `create_task` and `update_task` scan `title` and `description` — these fields flow to `AgentExecutor` as LLM task context via NATS
- **Status code**: security rejections return `400 Bad Request` (`VaporaError::InvalidInput`), not `500 Internal Server Error`

#### Tests

- `tests/security_guards_test.rs` — 11 integration tests through HTTP handlers; no `#[ignore]`, no external DB; uses `Surreal::<Client>::init()` (unconnected client) so scan fires before any service call
  - `load_document` rejects: instruction override, token injection, exfiltration probe, oversize content
  - `query_document` rejects: role confusion, delimiter injection
  - `analyze_document` rejects: instruction override, LLaMA token injection
  - `create_task` rejects: injection in title, injection in description
  - Clean input passes guard (engine returns 500 from None engine, not 400 from scanner)

#### Documentation

- **ADR-0038**: design rationale, blocked ranges, pattern categories, known gaps (DNS rebinding, `${VAR}` channels, stored injection bypass, agent-level SSRF)

---

### Added - Capability Packages (`vapora-capabilities`)

#### `vapora-capabilities` — new crate

- `CapabilitySpec`: full bundle struct — `id`, `display_name`, `description`, `agent_role`, `task_types`, `system_prompt`, `mcp_tools`, `preferred_provider`, `preferred_model`, `max_tokens`, `temperature`, `priority`, `parallelizable`
- `Capability` trait: object-safe (`Send + Sync`), single `fn spec() -> CapabilitySpec` + default `fn to_agent_definition() -> AgentDefinition`
- `CustomCapability(CapabilitySpec)` wrapper for TOML-loaded capabilities
- `CapabilityRegistry`: `parking_lot::RwLock<HashMap<String, Arc<dyn Capability>>>` — `register()`, `register_or_replace()`, `override_spec()`, `activate()`, `list_ids()`, `len()`
- `CapabilityLoader`: `parse(toml_str)`, `from_file(path)`, `apply(config, registry)`, `load_and_apply(path, registry)` — partial override via `Option<T>` fields, unknown IDs skipped with warning, idempotent re-application
- Three built-in capabilities:
  - `CodeReviewer` — role `code_reviewer`, Claude Opus 4.6, temperature 0.1, max_tokens 8192, tools: file_read/file_list/git_diff/code_search, structured JSON output (severity Critical/High/Medium/Low/Info)
  - `DocGenerator` — role `documenter`, Claude Sonnet 4.6, temperature 0.3, max_tokens 16384, tools: file_read/file_list/code_search/file_write, multi-level doc methodology
  - `PRMonitor` — role `monitor`, Claude Sonnet 4.6, temperature 0.1, max_tokens 4096, tools: git_diff/git_log/git_status/file_list/file_read, READY/NEEDS_REVIEW/BLOCKED classification
- 22 unit tests + 3 doc-tests

#### `vapora-shared` — `AgentDefinition` moved here

- `AgentDefinition` extracted from `vapora-agents::config` into `vapora-shared::agent_definition`
- Re-exported from `vapora-agents::config` for backward compatibility — zero call-site changes
- Breaks the potential `vapora-agents ↔ vapora-capabilities` circular dependency

#### `vapora-agents` — executor wired to LLM router + capabilities

- `AgentExecutor::with_router(Arc<LLMRouter>)` builder — routes real LLM calls through `complete_with_budget()` using `AgentMetadata::system_prompt` as the system message
- `AgentExecutor::execute_task()` — replaces hardcoded stub; dispatches `task.description` + `task.context` as user prompt; provider name tracked in KG persistence record
- `AgentCoordinator::register_executor_channel(agent_id, Sender<TaskAssignment>)` — registers in-process executor channel
- `AgentCoordinator::assign_task()` — dispatches to registered executor channel (in addition to NATS) without holding `DashMap` shard lock across await
- `server.rs` — initializes `CapabilityRegistry::with_built_ins()` at startup; `build_router_from_env()` builds `LLMRouter` from `LLM_ROUTER_CONFIG` file or `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`/`OPENAI_API_KEY`/`OLLAMA_URL` env vars; spawns one `AgentExecutor` per capability with router wired; agents from `agents.toml` that have no matching capability also get executors

#### Documentation

- `docs/features/capability-packages.md` — new feature reference
- `docs/guides/capability-packages-guide.md` — usage guide (activate built-ins, TOML customization, custom capabilities, env vars)
- **ADR-0037**: design rationale for capability packages, dependency inversion via `vapora-shared`, and in-process executor dispatch

---

### Added - Webhook Notification Channels (`vapora-channels`)

#### `vapora-channels` — new crate

- `NotificationChannel` trait: single `async fn send(&Message) -> Result<()>` — no vendor SDK dependency
- Three webhook implementations: `SlackChannel` (Incoming Webhook), `DiscordChannel` (Webhook embed), `TelegramChannel` (Bot API `sendMessage`)
- `ChannelRegistry`: name-keyed routing hub; `from_config(HashMap<String, ChannelConfig>)` resolves secrets at construction time
- `Message { title, body, level }` — four constructors: `info`, `success`, `warning`, `error`
- **Secret resolution built-in**: `${VAR}` / `${VAR:-default}` interpolation via `OnceLock<Regex>` in `config.rs`; `ChannelError::SecretNotFound` if env var absent and no default — callers cannot bypass resolution
- `ChannelError`: `NotFound`, `ApiError { channel, status, body }`, `SecretNotFound`, `SerializationError`
- 7 unit tests for `interpolate()`: plain string (no-op fast-path), single var, default fallback, missing var error, nested vars, whitespace, multiple vars in one string

#### `vapora-workflow-engine` — notification hooks

- `WorkflowNotifications` struct in `config.rs`: `on_stage_complete`, `on_stage_failed`, `on_completed`, `on_cancelled` — each a `Vec<String>` of channel names
- `WorkflowConfig.notifications: WorkflowNotifications` (default: empty, no regression)
- `WorkflowOrchestrator` gains `Option<Arc<ChannelRegistry>>`; four `notify_*` methods spawn `dispatch_notifications`
- 6 new tests in `tests/notification_config.rs`: config parsing, all four event hooks, empty-targets no-op

#### `vapora-backend` — event hooks and REST endpoints

- `Config.channels: HashMap<String, ChannelConfig>` and `Config.notifications: NotificationConfig` (TOML config)
- `NotificationConfig { on_task_done, on_proposal_approved, on_proposal_rejected }` — per-event channel-name lists
- `AppState` gains `channel_registry: Option<Arc<ChannelRegistry>>` and `notification_config: Arc<NotificationConfig>`
- `AppState::notify(&[String], Message)` — fire-and-forget; `tokio::spawn(dispatch_notifications(...))`
- `pub(crate) async fn dispatch_notifications(Option<Arc<ChannelRegistry>>, Vec<String>, Message)` — extracted for testability without DB
- Notification hooks added to three existing handlers:
  - `update_task_status` — `Message::success` when `TaskStatus::Done`
  - `approve_proposal` — `Message::success`
  - `reject_proposal` — `Message::warning`
- New endpoints: `GET /api/v1/channels` (list names), `POST /api/v1/channels/:name/test` (connectivity check)
- 5 unit tests in `state.rs`: `RecordingChannel` + `FailingChannel` test doubles; dispatch no-op, single delivery, multi-channel, resilience after failure, warn on unknown channel

#### Documentation

- **ADR-0035**: design rationale for trait-based channels, built-in secret resolution, and fire-and-forget delivery

---

### Added - Knowledge Graph Hybrid Search (HNSW + BM25 + RRF)

#### `vapora-knowledge-graph` — real retrieval replaces stub

- `find_similar_executions`: was returning recent records ordered by timestamp; now uses SurrealDB 3 HNSW ANN query (`<|100,64|>`) against the `embedding` field
- `hybrid_search`: new method combining HNSW semantic + BM25 lexical via RRF(k=60) fusion; returns `Vec<HybridSearchResult>` with individual `semantic_score`, `lexical_score`, `hybrid_score`, and rank fields
- `find_similar_rlm_tasks`: was ignoring `query_embedding`; now uses in-memory cosine similarity over SCHEMALESS `rlm_executions` records
- `HybridSearchResult` added to `models.rs` and re-exported from `lib.rs`
- 5 new unit tests: `cosine_similarity` edge cases (orthogonal, identical, empty, partial) + RRF fusion consensus validation

#### `migrations/012_kg_hybrid_search.surql` — schema fix + indexes

- **Schema bug fixed**: `kg_executions` (SCHEMAFULL) was missing `agent_role`, `provider`, `cost_cents` — SurrealDB silently dropped these fields on INSERT, causing all reads to fail deserialization silently; all three fields now declared
- `DEFINE ANALYZER kg_text_analyzer` — `class` tokenizer + `lowercase` + `snowball(english)` filters
- `DEFINE INDEX idx_kg_executions_ft` — BM25 full-text index on `task_description`
- `DEFINE INDEX idx_kg_executions_hnsw` — HNSW index on `embedding` (1536-dim, cosine, F32, M=16, EF=200)

#### Documentation

- **ADR-0036**: documents HNSW+BM25+RRF decision, the schema bug root cause, and why `stratum-embeddings` brute-force is unsuitable for unbounded KG datasets

---

### Added - `on_agent_inactive` Notification Hook

- `NotificationConfig` gains `on_agent_inactive: Vec<String>` — fires when `update_agent_status` transitions an agent to `AgentStatus::Inactive`
- `update_agent_status` handler in `agents.rs` fires `Message::error("Agent Inactive", ...)` via `state.notify`
- Docs: `on_agent_inactive` added to Events Reference table in `docs/features/notification-channels.md` and to the backend integration section in ADR-0035

---

### Added - Autonomous Scheduling: Timezone Support and Distributed Fire-Lock

#### `vapora-workflow-engine` — scheduling hardening

- **Timezone-aware cron evaluation** (`chrono-tz = "0.10"`):
  - `ScheduledWorkflow.timezone: Option<String>` — IANA identifier stored per-schedule
  - `compute_next_fire_at_tz(expr, tz)` / `compute_next_fire_after_tz(expr, after, tz)` — generic over `chrono_tz::Tz`; UTC fallback when `tz = None`
  - `validate_timezone(tz)` — compile-time exhaustive IANA enum, rejects unknown identifiers
  - `compute_fire_times_tz` in `scheduler.rs` — catch-up and normal firing both timezone-aware
  - Config-load validation: `[workflows.schedule] timezone = "..."` validated at startup (fail-fast)
- **Distributed fire-lock** (SurrealDB document-level atomic CAS):
  - `scheduled_workflows` gains `locked_by: option<string>` and `locked_at: option<datetime>` (migration 011)
  - `ScheduleStore::try_acquire_fire_lock(id, instance_id, now)` — conditional `UPDATE ... WHERE locked_by IS NONE OR locked_at < $expiry`; returns `true` only if update succeeded (non-empty result = lock acquired)
  - `ScheduleStore::release_fire_lock(id, instance_id)` — `WHERE locked_by = $instance_id` guard prevents stale release after TTL expiry
  - `WorkflowScheduler.instance_id: String` — UUID generated at startup, identifies lock owner
  - 120-second TTL: crashed instance's lock auto-expires within two scheduler ticks
  - Lock acquired before `fire_with_lock`, released in `finally`-style block after (warn on release failure, TTL fallback)
- New tests: `test_validate_timezone_valid`, `test_validate_timezone_invalid`, `test_compute_next_fire_at_tz_utc`, `test_compute_next_fire_at_tz_named`, `test_compute_next_fire_at_tz_invalid_tz_fallback`, `test_compute_fires_with_catchup_named_tz`, `test_instance_id_is_unique`
- Test count: 48 (was 41)

#### `vapora-backend` — schedule REST API surface

- `ScheduleResponse`, `PutScheduleRequest`, `PatchScheduleRequest` gain `timezone: Option<String>`
- `validate_tz()` helper validates at API boundary → `400 InvalidInput` on unknown identifier
- `put_schedule` and `patch_schedule` use `compute_next_fire_at_tz` / `compute_next_fire_after_tz`
- `fire_schedule` uses `compute_next_fire_after_tz` with schedule's stored timezone

#### Migrations

- **`migrations/011_schedule_tz_lock.surql`**: `DEFINE FIELD timezone`, `locked_by`, `locked_at` on `scheduled_workflows`

#### Documentation

- **ADR-0034**: design rationale for `chrono-tz` selection and SurrealDB conditional UPDATE lock
- **`docs/features/workflow-orchestrator.md`**: Autonomous Scheduling section with TOML config, REST API table, timezone/distributed lock explanations, Prometheus metrics

---

### Added - Workflow Engine Hardening (Persistence · Saga · Cedar)

#### `vapora-workflow-engine` — three new hardening layers

- **`persistence.rs`**: `SurrealWorkflowStore` — crash-recoverable `WorkflowInstance` state in SurrealDB
  - `save()` upserts on every state-mutating operation; serializes via `serde_json::Value` (surrealdb v3 `SurrealValue` requirement)
  - `load_active()` on startup restores all non-terminal instances to the in-memory `DashMap`
  - `delete()` removes terminal instances after completion
- **`saga.rs`**: `SagaCompensator` — reverse-order rollback dispatch via `SwarmCoordinator`
  - Iterates executed stages in reverse; skips stages without `compensation_agents` in `StageConfig`
  - Dispatches `{ type: "compensation", stage_name, workflow_id, original_context, artifacts_to_undo }` payload
  - Best-effort: errors are logged and never propagated
- **`auth.rs`**: `CedarAuthorizer` — per-stage Cedar policy enforcement
  - `load_from_dir(path)` reads all `*.cedar` files and compiles a single `PolicySet`
  - Called before each `SwarmCoordinator::assign_task()`; deny returns `WorkflowError::Unauthorized`
  - Disabled when `EngineConfig.cedar_policy_dir` is `None`
- **`config.rs`**: `StageConfig` gains `compensation_agents: Option<Vec<String>>`; `EngineConfig` gains `cedar_policy_dir: Option<String>`
- **`instance.rs`**: `WorkflowInstance::mark_current_task_failed()` — isolates the `current_stage_mut()` borrow to avoid NLL conflicts and clippy `excessive_nesting` in `on_task_failed()`
- **`migrations/009_workflow_state.surql`**: SCHEMAFULL `workflow_instances` table; indexes on `template_name` and `created_at`
- New deps: `surrealdb = { workspace = true }`, `cedar-policy = "4.9"`
- Tests: 31 pass (5 new — `auth` × 3, `saga` × 2); 0 clippy warnings

#### `vapora-knowledge-graph` — surrealdb v3 compatibility fixes

- All `response.take(0)` call sites updated from custom `#[derive(Deserialize)]` structs to `Vec<serde_json::Value>` intermediary pattern
  - Affected: `find_similar_executions`, `get_agent_success_rate`, `get_task_distribution`, `cleanup_old_executions`, `get_execution_count`, `get_executions_for_task_type`, `get_agent_executions`, `get_task_type_analytics`, `get_dashboard_metrics`, `get_cost_report`, `get_rlm_executions_by_doc`, `find_similar_rlm_tasks`, `get_rlm_execution_count`, `cleanup_old_rlm_executions`
- Root cause: `surrealdb` v3 changed `take()` bound from `T: DeserializeOwned` to `T: SurrealValue`; `serde_json::Value` satisfies this; custom structs do not

---

### Fixed - `distro.just` build and installation

- `distro::install`: now builds all 5 server binaries in one `cargo build --release` pass
  - Added `vapora-a2a` and `vapora-mcp-server` to the explicit build list (were missing; silently copied from stale `target/release/` if present, skipped otherwise)
  - Added `vapora-a2a` to the install copy list (was absent entirely)
  - Missing binary → explicit warning with count; exits non-zero if zero installed
- `distro::install-full`: new recipe — runs `install` as a dependency then `trunk build --release`
  - Replaces the broken `UI=true` parameter approach: `just` 1.x treats `KEY=value` tokens as positional args to the first parameter when invoked via module syntax (`distro::recipe`), not as named overrides
  - Validates `trunk` is in PATH before attempting the build
- `distro::install-targets`: added `wasm32-unknown-unknown`; idempotent — checks `rustup target list --installed` before calling `rustup target add`
- `distro::build-all-targets`: excludes `wasm32-unknown-unknown` from the workspace loop; WASM requires per-crate `trunk` build, not `cargo build --workspace --target wasm32`

### Added - NatsBridge + A2A JetStream Integration

#### `vapora-agents` — NatsBridge (real JetStream)

- `nats_bridge.rs`: new `NatsBridge` with real `async_nats::jetstream::Context`
  - `submit_task()` → JetStream publish with double-await ack, returns sequence number
  - `subscribe_task_results()` → durable pull consumer (`WorkQueue` retention), returns `mpsc::Receiver<TaskResult>`
  - `list_agents()` → reads from live `AgentRegistry`, never hardcoded
  - `NatsBrokerConfig` with sensible defaults; stream auto-created via `get_or_create_stream`
- `swarm_adapter.rs`: replaced all 3 stubs with real logic
  - `select_agent()` → `swarm.submit_task_for_bidding()` for load-balanced selection
  - `report_completion()` → `swarm.update_agent_status()` with load adjustment on failure
  - `agent_load()` → derives current tasks from fractional load via `swarm.get_agent()`

#### `vapora-swarm` — `SwarmCoordinator::get_agent()`

- Added `pub fn get_agent(&self, agent_id: &str) -> Option<AgentProfile>` to expose per-agent profiles from private `DashMap`

#### `vapora-a2a` — NatsBridge integration + SurrealDB serialization fixes

- `CoordinatorBridge`: replaced raw `NatsClient` with `Option<Arc<NatsBridge>>`
  - `start_result_listener()` uses JetStream pull consumer (at-least-once delivery)
  - `dispatch()` publishes to JetStream after coordinator assignment (non-fatal fallback)
  - `list_agents()` delegates to `NatsBridge.list_agents()`
- `server.rs`: added `GET /a2a/agents` endpoint
- `task_manager.rs`: fixed SurrealDB serialization
  - `create()`: switched from `.content()` to parameterized `INSERT INTO` query; avoids SurrealDB serializer failing on adjacently-tagged enums (`A2aMessagePart`)
  - `get()`: changed `SELECT *` to explicit field projection; excludes `id` (SurrealDB `Thing`) and casts datetimes with `type::string()` to avoid `serde_json::Value` deserialization failures
- Integration tests verified: 4/5 pass with SurrealDB + NATS; 5th requires live agent

#### `vapora-leptos-ui`

    - WASI-compatible commands: peek, grep, slice
    - Resource limits: 100MB memory, 5s CPU timeout
    - Security: No network, no filesystem write, read-only workspace
  - **Docker tier**: Pre-warmed container pool (80-150ms from warm pool)
    - Pool size: 10-20 standby containers
    - Full Linux tooling compatibility
    - Auto-replenish on claim, graceful shutdown
  - **Auto-dispatcher**: Automatically selects tier based on task complexity

- **Prometheus Metrics**
  - `vapora_rlm_chunks_total{strategy}` - Chunks created by strategy
  - `vapora_rlm_query_duration_seconds` - Query latency (P50/P95/P99)

  - Aggregate by time windows (daily/weekly) for trend analysis

- **Coordinator Enhancement**: Learning-based agent selection
  - Extract task type from description/role
  - Query learning profiles for task-specific expertise
  - Replace simple load balancing with learning-aware scoring
  - Background profile synchronization (30s interval)

### Added - Phase 5.4: Cost Optimization

- **Budget Manager**: Per-role cost enforcement
  - `BudgetConfig` with TOML serialization/deserialization
  - Role-specific monthly and weekly limits (in cents)
  - Automatic fallback provider when budget exceeded
  - Alert thresholds (default 80% utilization)
  - Weekly/monthly automatic resets

- **Configuration Loading**: Graceful budget initialization
  - `BudgetConfig::load()` with strict validation
  - `BudgetConfig::load_or_default()` with fallback to empty config
  - Environment variable override: `BUDGET_CONFIG_PATH`
  - Validation: limits > 0, thresholds in [0.0, 1.0]

- **Cost-Aware Routing**: Provider selection with budget constraints
  - Three-tier enforcement:
    1. Budget exceeded → force fallback provider
    2. Near threshold (>80%) → prefer cost-efficient providers
    3. Normal → rule-based routing with cost as tiebreaker
  - Cost efficiency ranking: `(quality * 100) / (cost + 1)`
  - Fallback chain ordering by cost (Ollama → Gemini → OpenAI → Claude)

- **Prometheus Metrics**: Real-time cost and budget monitoring
  - `vapora_llm_budget_remaining_cents{role}` - Monthly budget remaining
  - `vapora_llm_budget_utilization{role}` - Budget usage fraction (0.0-1.0)
  - `vapora_llm_fallback_triggered_total{role,reason}` - Fallback event counter
  - `vapora_llm_cost_per_provider_cents{provider}` - Cumulative cost per provider
  - `vapora_llm_tokens_per_provider{provider,type}` - Token usage tracking

- **Grafana Dashboards**: Visual monitoring
  - Budget utilization gauge (color thresholds: 70%, 90%, 100%)
  - Cost distribution pie chart (percentage per provider)
  - Fallback trigger time series (rate of fallback activations)
  - Agent assignment latency histogram (P50, P95, P99)

- **Alert Rules**: Prometheus alerting
  - `BudgetThresholdExceeded`: Utilization > 80% for 5 minutes
  - `HighFallbackRate`: Rate > 0.1 for 10 minutes
  - `CostAnomaly`: Cost spike > 2x historical average
  - `LearningProfilesInactive`: No updates for 5 minutes

### Added - Integration & Testing

- **End-to-End Integration Tests**: Validate learning + budget interaction
  - `test_end_to_end_learning_with_budget_enforcement()` - Full system test
  - `test_learning_selection_with_budget_constraints()` - Budget pressure scenarios
  - `test_learning_profile_improvement_with_budget_tracking()` - Learning evolution

- **Agent Server Integration**: Budget initialization at startup
  - Load budget configuration from `config/agent-budgets.toml`
  - Initialize BudgetManager with Arc for thread-safe sharing
  - Attach to coordinator via `with_budget_manager()` builder pattern
  - Graceful fallback if no configuration exists

- **Coordinator Builder Pattern**: Budget manager attachment
  - Added `budget_manager: Option<Arc<BudgetManager>>` field
  - `with_budget_manager()` method for fluent API
  - Updated all constructors (`new()`, `with_registry()`)
  - Backward compatible (works without budget configuration)

  - `redundant_guards` in BudgetConfig
  - `needless_borrow` in registry defaults
  - `or_insert_with` → `or_default()` conversions
  - `map_clone` → `cloned()` conversions
  - `manual_div_ceil` → `div_ceil()` method

- **Test Warnings**: Unused variables marked with underscore prefix
