docs: update ARCH__AE_INTEGRATION with verified API behavior

- query_string required for and/or filters to apply; use "%" as wildcard
- Total count is in meta.data_list_count, not top-level
- id_random is None in responses; Vision ID convention uses {obj_type}_id
- tags comes back as string on read, not list — normalize before joining
- Replace stale "Planned: Search Improvements" with current signature + notes
- Clarify date_to boundary (lte midnight, use next day to include full day)

# Aether Platform Integration — Cortex Tool Layer
> Last updated: 2026-04-30
> Status: Active development — Journal toolset being expanded
> Status: Journal toolset complete — broader AE integration planned
This doc covers how Cortex/Inara integrates with the Aether Platform API, what's
implemented, what the data model looks like, and what's planned next.

**`query_string` vs `and` filters on `default_qry_str`:**
- `query_string` → triggers `MATCH(default_qry_str) AGAINST(... IN BOOLEAN MODE)` — uses the
FULLTEXT index. Faster and supports boolean operators (`+word`, `-word`, `"phrase"`).
- `and_filters` with `icontains` on `default_qry_str` → plain `LIKE '%term%'`. Slower,
no index. The current implementation uses this; should be migrated to `query_string`.
- `and` with `icontains` on `default_qry_str` → plain `LIKE '%term%'`. Slower, no index.
**Important:** `query_string` must be present for `and`/`or` filters to apply. When using
filters without a keyword query, pass `query_string: "%"` as a wildcard to activate the
filter path without restricting by keyword.

## Planned: Search Improvements
## ae_journal_search — Current Signature
Current search uses plain `LIKE` on `default_qry_str`. Migration plan:
All filters are optional and combine with AND. At least one should be provided.
1. **Switch to `query_string`** — fulltext MATCH/AGAINST; supports boolean operators
2. **Tag filter**`icontains` on `tags` field
3. **Date range**`gte`/`lte` on `created_on` or `updated_on`
4. **Classification filters**`type_code`, `topic_code`, `category_code` (exact match)
5. **Sort control** — expose `order_by` (updated, created, name, priority)
6. **Status / priority filters**`eq` on `status`, `priority`
7. **Combined search** — keyword + any filter combination in one call
Target signature:
```python
ae_journal_search(
query: str = "", # fulltext (query_string path) — optional
journal_id: str = "", # scope to journal
query: str = "", # fulltext via query_string (MATCH/AGAINST)
journal_id: str = "", # scope to a specific journal
tags: str = "", # icontains on tags field
type_code: str = "", # eq
topic_code: str = "", # eq
type_code: str = "", # eq on type_code
topic_code: str = "", # eq on topic_code
date_from: str = "", # created_on gte (YYYY-MM-DD)
date_to: str = "", # created_on lte
date_to: str = "", # created_on lte (YYYY-MM-DD, exclusive of time — use next day to include full day)
sort_by: str = "updated", # updated | created | name | priority
sort_order: str = "desc",
status: int | None,
priority: int | None,
status: int | None = None,
priority: int | None = None,
max_results: int = 10,
page: int = 1,
)
```
**date_to boundary note:** `date_to='2026-01-17'` means `<= 2026-01-17 00:00:00`, which
excludes entries created later that day. Use `date_to='2026-01-18'` to include all of Jan 17.

## Planned: Broader AE Platform Integration
@@ -215,9 +212,11 @@ Complete read/write/search for Journals and Journal Entries.
`tags` is stored as a raw comma-separated varchar(255), not a JSON array.
The API accepts a Python list on write (the `tags` PATCH key takes a list and the backend joins it).
On read, it comes back as a list in the API response.
For filtering: use `icontains` on `tags` — e.g. `{"field": "tags", "op": "icontains", "value": "networking"}`.
This means a tag search for "net" would match "networking" AND "subnet" — acceptable for now.
On read, it comes back as a **string** (e.g. `"shelterluv, api"`), not a list — normalize before
displaying: `[t.strip() for t in tags_str.split(",") if t.strip()]`.
For filtering: use `icontains` on `tags` inside the `"and"` list, e.g.:
`{"field": "tags", "op": "icontains", "value": "networking"}`.
A tag search for "net" matches "networking" AND "subnet" — acceptable for now.
True per-tag filtering would require a tags junction table.
