+# AGENTS.md — Instructions obligatoires du dépôt ObsiGate
+
+> Ces instructions s'appliquent à **toute** intervention (humaine ou IA) sur ce dépôt.
+> Documentation et réponses en **français**.
+
+## Règle n°1 — Méthode de livraison unique
+
+Avant toute tâche (fonctionnalité, bug, refactor), **lire et appliquer**
+[`docs/DELIVERY_WORKFLOW.md`](./docs/DELIVERY_WORKFLOW.md) (Definition of Done).
+Aucune tâche n'est terminée avant que sa checklist soit complète **et le CI vert**
+(jobs `lint`, `test`, `security`, `build`, `e2e` de `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`).
+
+## Avant de commencer
+
+1. Lire [`docs/ROADMAP.md`](./docs/ROADMAP.md) (travail à venir + index) et
+   [`docs/ISSUES_TODOLIST.md`](./docs/ISSUES_TODOLIST.md) (bugs).
+2. Identifier ou créer l'**ID stable** (`#NN` pour une feature, `BUG-NNN` pour un bug —
+   jamais réutilisé) et passer son statut à « en cours » **avant** de coder.
+
+## Architecture (ce qui n'est pas obvious)
+
+- **Backend** : FastAPI/Python 3.11, point d'entrée `backend/main.py` (endpoints + rendu
+  markdown), index en mémoire (`indexer.py`, `search.py`), watcher (`watcher.py`),
+  auth dans `backend/auth/`. Pas de base de données : JSON dans `data/`.
+- **Frontend** : vanilla JS **zéro framework, zéro build npm** (`frontend/app.js`,
+  `index.html`, `style.css`). Ne pas ajouter de dépendances npm ni d'étape de build.
+- **Desktop** : Tauri (Rust) dans `desktop/` ; `tauri.conf.json` embarque `backend/**` et
+  `frontend/**` depuis `desktop/` — les scripts de build font le **staging** (copie) avant
+  `cargo tauri build`, sinon le build échoue.
+- **i18n** : tout texte d'interface doit exister en FR **et** EN
+  (`frontend/locales/fr.json` + `en.json`).
+
+## Vérifications locales (pwsh, à faire passer avant tout commit/push)
+
+```powershell
+# Backend (venv à la racine)
+.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pytest tests/
+.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m ruff check backend/
+.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m mypy backend/ --ignore-missing-imports
+
+# Frontend : scripts Node à exécuter directement (pas de runner)
+node tests/frontend/validate-imports.mjs
+node tests/frontend/unit.test.mjs
+# Tests JSDOM : node_modules dans tests/frontend/ (npm install là-bas si absent), ex :
+node tests/frontend/pane-manager.test.mjs
+
+# E2E (si UI touchée, ~10 min) : reproduit le job CI e2e (port 2029, auth désactivée)
+npm run test:e2e                    # prérequis : uv, Node >= 20, npx playwright install chromium
+bash scripts/run-e2e-local.sh -g "nom du test"   # filtre / --headed
+
+# Windows sans bash exploitable (WSL HS, git-bash bloqué par App Control) :
+npm run test:e2e:ps                 # équivalent PowerShell, mêmes conditions que le CI
+pwsh -File scripts/run-e2e-local.ps1 -PlaywrightArgs @('-g','nom du test')
+```
+
+- Un seul test backend : `.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pytest tests/test_search.py -q`.
+- **Sélection E2E** : vérifier chaque sélecteur dans le DOM réel avant de l'utiliser dans un
+  test ; tout test nouveau/modifié doit passer en local avant push ; pas de contournement
+  qui masque la flakiness (`waitForTimeout` arbitraires, fallbacks silencieux).
+- La suite E2E doit finir à **100 %** sans s'appuyer sur les retries. Jamais de `git push`
+  avant que les 5 étapes locales soient vertes.
+
+## Version & hooks (pièges)
+
+- `VERSION` (racine) = **source unique de vérité** (SemVer), incrémenté **automatiquement à
+  chaque commit** par le hook `.githooks/prepare-commit-msg` — `feat` → mineur,
+  `!:` / `BREAKING CHANGE` → majeur, sinon correctif. Le même commit resynchronise
+  `package.json`, le desktop Tauri, `README.md`/`README.fr.md`, `docs/ROADMAP.md` et publie
+  la section `[Unreleased]` du `CHANGELOG.md` en `[X.Y.Z] — date` ; tag `vX.Y.Z` créé au
+  commit, publié au push (`push.followTags`).
+- Hooks **obligatoires**, à installer une fois par clone : `scripts/install-hooks.sh`
+  (sinon la version ne suit plus et le CI échoue via le garde-fou `tests/test_version.py`).
+- Le rattachement des fichiers de bump se fait par un `--amend` immédiat : **le SHA affiché
+  par `git commit` change** — ne pas s'y fier.
+- Commit sans incrément (exceptionnel) : `SKIP_VERSION_BUMP=1 git commit …`.
+- Ne jamais réécrire une version déjà publiée dans le CHANGELOG ; jamais de détail dupliqué
+  entre Roadmap et CHANGELOG.
+
+## À la fin de chaque tâche (obligatoire)
+
+- Tests unitaires ajoutés/mis à jour (correctif sans test de non-régression = pas terminé).
+- Toutes les vérifications locales ci-dessus vertes (`E2E` si UI).
+- Documentation mise à jour : `CHANGELOG.md` (`[Unreleased]`), `docs/ROADMAP.md` (statut +
+  index), fiche `docs/features/` **ou** `docs/archive/`, `docs/ISSUES_TODOLIST.md` (si bug),
+  guide utilisateur i18n FR/EN + README si impact utilisateur, docstrings +
+  `response_model` si API.
+- **Commit** conventionnel référençant l'ID (`feat: … #12`), puis **push** et **CI vert**.

+## Conventions
+
+- Commits : `type: description` — `feat`, `fix`, `perf`, `refactor`, `docs`, `style`, `chore`, `test`.
+- Sécurité : tout chemin fichier fourni par l'utilisateur passe par `_resolve_safe_path()`.
+- **Ne jamais** committer de secrets, clés ou tokens (`.env` jamais committé ; secrets dans
+  `data/api_keys.json` ou variables `OBSIGATE_*`).
+- Respecter le style du code existant (ruff/mypy 0 erreur ; CSS variables, pas de couleurs
+  hardcodées ; `safeCreateIcons()` plutôt que `lucide.createIcons()` direct).

+Le visualiseur streame le fichier via HTTP Range (206 Partial Content) — les gros PDF se chargent progressivement.
+Le texte est extrait à l'indexation (pypdf / pymupdf) — le contenu PDF est donc recherchable via la recherche full-text.
+Filtrez avec `ext:pdf` pour restreindre les résultats aux PDF.
+Les métadonnées (pages, titre, auteur) sont disponibles via `GET /api/file/{vault}/pdf/info` sans transférer le document.

+### Diagrammes Excalidraw
+
+Les fichiers `.excalidraw` et `.excalidraw.md` s'ouvrent dans un éditeur visuel Excalidraw complet, intégré dans une iframe sandboxée — dessinez, modifiez et sauvegardez sans quitter ObsiGate.
+Les modifications sont sauvegardées automatiquement (2 s) ou avec `Ctrl+S` ; l'éditeur suit le thème clair/sombre.
+Le texte des éléments du diagramme est extrait à l'indexation : il est donc recherchable via la recherche full-text (`ext:excalidraw`).
+Les fichiers créés avec le **plugin Obsidian Excalidraw** (y compris le format `.excalidraw.md` compressé) sont compatibles.

    All files and directories are indexed, including hidden files (starting with '.').

+
+    Excalidraw diagrams (#86, like PDFs since BUG-040) are deferred: the scan

+   provider publishes per-model capabilities in its models endpoint (Mistral
+   ``capabilities``, OpenRouter ``architecture``), that declaration *wins* for
+   every flag it mentions. The snapshot is cached by the model-list endpoint.
+2. **Curated table** (this module) — a static, hand-maintained map of known

+   the flags the provider stays silent about, and is the only source for
+   providers and models that declare nothing (offline, no API key, DeepSeek,

+
+The UI uses the result to show, when a model is selected, which features it
+supports (Chat, Embeddings, Rerank, Images, Video, Audio Speech, Audio
+Transcriptions, Vision).
+
+The curated layer is intentionally conservative: an unknown model falls back to
+the provider default (usually ``chat`` only), so we never claim a capability the
+model may not have. A provider declaration, on the other hand, is authoritative

+API_DESCRIPTION = """
+**ObsiGate** exposes a REST API covering the entire application: vaults, files,
+full-text search, backups, exports, AI actions, sharing and administration.
+
+### Authentication
+When authentication is enabled, send a bearer token obtained from
+`POST /api/auth/login`:
+
+```
+Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
+```
+
+The same token is also accepted as an HTTP-only cookie, so browser clients can
+simply use `credentials: "include"`.
+
+### Real-time collaboration
+Besides the REST API, a WebSocket endpoint `GET /ws/collab/{vault}/{path}` (upgrade) powers
+simultaneous editing of the same file: clients exchange Yjs/CRDT updates and awareness (remote
+cursors), and the server persists the document 2 s after the last change. Authentication uses the
+`access_token` cookie (or a `token` query parameter) and vault access is enforced per connection.
+See the collaboration feature documentation (`docs/features/collaboration.md`) for the protocol.
+
+### Interactive documentation
+* **Swagger UI** — [/docs](/docs): try requests directly from the browser.
+* **ReDoc** — [/redoc](/redoc): clean, reading-oriented reference.
+* **OpenAPI JSON** — [/openapi.json](/openapi.json): machine-readable schema.
+
+### Errors
+Errors use the standard FastAPI envelope `{"detail": "..."}` with the
+appropriate HTTP status (`400`, `401`, `403`, `404`, `409`, `422`, `500`).

+"""Provider-declared model capabilities (live) with a short-lived cache.
+
+The curated table in :mod:`backend.model_capabilities` has to be edited by hand
+every time a provider ships or renames a model, and it ages badly: Mistral alone
+declares ``vision`` on 28 of its models while the curated table knew none of
+them (BUG-044). Providers that *do* publish per-model capabilities in their
+public models endpoint are therefore asked first; the curated table is only
+used to fill the flags the provider stays silent about (e.g. Mistral never
+declares ``embedding``, only the absence of ``completion_chat``).
+
+Supported declarations, detected by *payload shape* so a provider that starts
+exposing them is picked up without a code change:
+
+* ``capabilities`` dict (Mistral): ``completion_chat`` → ``chat``, ``vision``,
+  ``audio_transcription`` (+ ``audio_transcription_realtime``),
+  ``audio_speech``.
+* ``architecture`` dict (OpenRouter): ``input_modalities`` /
+  ``output_modalities`` → ``vision`` (image input), ``images`` (image output),
+  ``audio_transcription`` (audio input), ``audio_speech`` (audio output),
+  ``video`` (video output), ``chat`` (text output).
+
+The cache is in-process and shared by every request. Its TTL only bounds how
+long a *stale* declaration can survive: a fresh provider call (the model list
+endpoint) overwrites the provider entry immediately.

+"""ObsiGate — Semantic search: embeddings, vector store and hybrid retrieval.
+
+This module adds a *semantic* layer on top of the existing TF-IDF search. Each
+document is split into overlapping chunks, each chunk is converted into a dense
+vector, and queries are matched by cosine similarity. Results are combined with
+the lexical ranking through Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF).
+
+Design goals
+------------
+* **Zero mandatory dependency.** ``sentence-transformers`` (local model),
+  ``numpy`` and ``faiss`` are *optional*. They are imported lazily and, when
+  missing, the module falls back to a deterministic pure-Python hashing embedder
+  and a pure-Python cosine store. The feature therefore degrades gracefully and
+  the default CI (which only installs ``backend/requirements.txt``) keeps working.
+* **Plug-in providers.** Embeddings can come from the local
+  ``all-MiniLM-L6-v2`` model, from an OpenAI-compatible ``/embeddings`` endpoint
+  (configured via env vars), or from the deterministic fallback.
+* **Incremental.** The index is updated document-by-document from the indexer
+  change hook (file watcher + API mutations), never rebuilt on each search.
+
+Optional extras are listed in ``backend/requirements-semantic.txt``.

+"""Web tools for the assistant (Notion-style "research" capabilities).
+
+Phase 1 of the documented web-toolset roadmap:
+
+* ``web_search``  — query the self-hosted SearXNG instance (no API key) and,
+  when it returns nothing, fall back to keyless HTML providers (DuckDuckGo,
+  then Bing) so a dead meta-search instance never leaves the assistant
+  answering « je n'ai pas accès à internet ».
+* ``fetch_url``   — retrieve a public web page and return readable text.
+
+Phase 2 (#92) additions:
+
+* keyed providers — Tavily, Brave Search, SerpAPI and Exa are used first when
+  their API key is configured (env, injected by Infisical in production);
+* SQLite cache — search/fetch results are cached with a TTL
+  (:mod:`backend.tools.webcache`);
+* retry with backoff — transient network errors get one extra attempt;
+* dynamic rendering — ``fetch_url(render=True)`` uses an isolated Playwright
+  worker (optional dependency, graceful degradation).
+
+All are READ-risk tools (no confirmation), rate-limited through the shared
+registry, SSRF-guarded (scheme + private-address rejection), and size-capped.
+
+Configuration (environment):
+* ``OBSIGATE_SEARXNG_URL``   — defaults to https://search.dracodev.net
+* ``OBSIGATE_WEB_TIMEOUT``   — seconds, default 10
+* ``OBSIGATE_WEB_FALLBACK``  — ``0``/``false`` disables the keyless HTML
+  fallbacks (SearXNG only), default enabled
+* ``OBSIGATE_TAVILY_API_KEY`` / ``OBSIGATE_BRAVE_API_KEY`` /
+  ``OBSIGATE_SERPAPI_API_KEY`` / ``OBSIGATE_EXA_API_KEY`` — optional keyed
+  providers, tried before SearXNG when set
+* ``OBSIGATE_WEB_PROVIDERS`` — optional comma-separated provider order
+  (e.g. ``brave,searxng``); keyed providers without a key are skipped
+* ``OBSIGATE_WEB_RETRY``     — extra attempts for transient network errors
+  (default 1)
+* ``OBSIGATE_WEB_CACHE_TTL`` — cache TTL seconds, ``0`` disables (default 900)

 Version management for ObsiGate.

+Source unique de vérité : le fichier `VERSION` à la racine du dépôt, au format
+`MAJEUR.MINEUR.CORRECTIF` (incrémenté à chaque livraison par
+`scripts/bump_version.py`, hook git `commit-msg`). get_version() retourne
+toujours une chaîne propre "x.y.z" — jamais "-dev", "0.0.0-dev" ou "-N-gHASH" :
+le même numéro s'affiche dans le badge d'en-tête, la boîte À propos et /api/health.

-Examples:
-  v1.7.0                    (exact tag)
-  v1.7.0-3-gabc1234         (3 commits after v1.7.0)
-  v1.7.0-dev                (fallback when Git unavailable)

+## Signature de code Windows
+
+La signature de code est **optionnelle** : sans elle, l'application fonctionne,
+mais SmartScreen affiche un avertissement au premier lancement. Les binaires
+ObsiGate sont actuellement distribués **non signés**.
+
+### Signer localement
+
+Le script `scripts/sign-windows.ps1` signe le binaire et les installeurs après un
+`cargo tauri build`. Il lit les identifiants depuis l'environnement (jamais
+commités) et est un **no-op explicite** si aucun certificat n'est fourni :
+
+```powershell
+$env:OBSIGATE_SIGN_CERT_PFX = "C:\certs\obsigate.pfx"
+$env:OBSIGATE_SIGN_CERT_PASSWORD = "..."
+$env:OBSIGATE_SIGN_TIMESTAMP_URL = "http://timestamp.digicert.com"
+.\scripts\sign-windows.ps1
+```
+
+### Alternatives au certificat
+
+| Option | Coût indicatif | Effet SmartScreen |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Livrer non signé** (statu quo) | 0 € | Avertissement → « Exécuter quand même » |
+| **SignPath.io** (projet open source) | Gratuit si éligible OSS | Réputation gérée par le service |
+| **Certum Open Source Code Signing** | ~70-100 €/an | Réputation progressive |
+| **Certificat OV** | ~150-400 €/an | Avertit tant que la réputation n'est pas établie |
+| **Certificat EV** | ~300-700 €/an + token USB/HSM | Réputation **immédiate** |
+| **Azure Trusted Signing** | ~10 $/mois | Bonne réputation, signature cloud |
+| **Certificat auto-signé** | 0 € | Inutile en distribution publique |
+
+### Signature de l'auto-update (gratuite)
+
+Indépendante de la signature Windows, la signature des mises à jour Tauri repose
+sur une paire de clés que vous générez vous-même :
+
+```bash
+cargo tauri signer generate -w obsigate-updater.key
+```
+
+- La **clé publique** est déjà renseignée dans `plugins.updater.pubkey`
+  (`tauri.conf.json`).
+- La **clé privée** (`desktop/obsigate-updater.key`, gitignorée) est lue
+  automatiquement par `build-windows.bat` / `build-linux.sh` ; en CI, via les
+  secrets Gitea `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY` / `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD`.
+- Le CLI produit des `.sig` par artefact (`*.exe.sig`, `*.AppImage.sig`, …).
+
+**Manifeste `latest.json`** (détection des mises à jour) :
+
+```powershell
+python scripts\updater_manifest.py --tag vX.Y.Z   # ou via publish_release.py
+```
+
+`publish_release.py` le génère et l'ajoute aux assets ; il reste à **committer
+`desktop/latest.json` sur `main`**. L'updater lit ce fichier versionné :
+`https://git.dracodev.net/Projets/ObsiGate/raw/branch/main/desktop/latest.json`.
