Replace plain textarea with CodeMirror 5 + markdown mode loaded from
jsDelivr CDN. Editor fills the modal body via flex layout, theme-aware
via CSS vars (cursor, selection, headings, bold/em/links/code all mapped
to Cortex dark/light palette). Lazy init on first file open; history
cleared per-file so undo doesn't bleed across files.

- cx_last_persona cookie set on serve_ui; root/login/help/settings
redirects use preferred persona from cookie instead of alphabetically first
- /api/personas returns [{name, emoji}] objects; persona switcher dropdown
renders emoji + name with flex layout and .pd-emoji span
- Help, Settings, Model Registry pages apply localStorage theme on load
(no flash); CSS variables for dark/light replacing all hardcoded hex values
- Claude CLI auth status moved from prominent chat banner to Anthropic
provider block in Model Registry — live dot indicator (ok/warn/err)
- Auth banner removed from main chat UI (index.html, app.js, style.css)
- Add Model collapsed into Models section as <details> to shorten page
- Light-mode overrides for provider icons, model badges, ctx-badge, tags
(Anthropic/Google/local colors now readable in both themes)
- Help page gains table, pre/code, hr styles for HELP.md rendered content

When height is set to S, mode-select collapses to a row (mode button +
compact tools toggle side by side). M and L keep the vertical column
layout where each control gets its own full-width row. Driven by
data-size attribute set in JS so the switch is instant on click, not
reliant on a viewport media query. Removed the redundant max-height
landscape query.

Stack Chat/Note/OTR button and tools toggle vertically (flex-direction:
column, align-items: stretch) on desktop so they share a tidy left column.
Mobile (≤520px) restores row layout; landscape phone (≤400px height) also
reverts to row to avoid crowding a short viewport.

The previous approach used a 600ms preview animation + syncHeight() which
collapsed the textarea back to 1 line (empty scrollHeight). Now syncHeight
enforces minHeight = maxHeight/3, so each setting (S/M/L) has a visibly
distinct resting height even when the input is empty.
S (120px): min ~40px ≈ 1-2 lines at rest
M (240px): min ~80px ≈ 3 lines at rest
L (480px): min ~160px ≈ 5-6 lines at rest

- Replace 3 S/M/L height buttons with one cycling button (like font size)
- Fix closeAllPanels() to include ctx-panel so Context and Settings menus
cannot be open simultaneously
- Fix ctxOpenBtn handler to use the same toggle-via-closeAllPanels pattern
as the settings button
- Align .hdr-dropdown shadow to var(--shadow) instead of hardcoded rgba
- Align #ctx-panel z-index to 200 (match .hdr-dropdown)

- Replace height <select> with S/M/L buttons (data-height); active class shows
current setting; clicking an empty textarea briefly expands it as a preview
so the effect is immediately visible, then auto-shrinks back
- Add --amber/--amber-border/--amber-glow CSS vars to all 4 theme blocks:
dark=#f59e0b (bright), light=#b45309 (deep, 4:1 contrast on light bg)
Fixes local-on/tools-toggle/backend-hint being nearly invisible in light mode
- Rename "Backend" ctx-section to "Role" (matches the role-cycle toggle)
- Update backend-toggle title from stale "primary backend" to "Active role"
- Capitalize distill buttons (Short/Mid/Long/All) to match Memory layer style
- Improve all ctx-panel button titles for clarity

- #mode-select changed from flex column to flex row (desktop + mobile unified)
- Chat/⚡ buttons now sit side-by-side at the same height as the textarea
- Removed stale mode-agent CSS rules (mode removed in prior commit)
- Mobile: simplified override — flex:1 only, direction/align already desktop default

- Remove 'agent' from mode dropdown; Chat/Note/OTR remain
- Add ⚡ tools toggle button in input bar (persisted in localStorage)
When on: routes to POST /orchestrate (Gemini tool loop); send btn → "Run"
When off: routes to POST /chat (direct to active role); no change
- Role selector and tools toggle are now fully independent:
active chat_role sent in orchestrate payload → used for final response
- orchestrator_engine.run() accepts response_role param; passes it to
complete(role=...) instead of hardcoded model="claude"
- OrchestrateRequest gains chat_role field (default "chat")
- Migrate stored 'agent' mode/MRU entries to 'chat' on load

The backend toggle now cycles through configured roles (chat, coder,
research, distill, etc.) instead of backup model slots within the chat
role. Each role uses its own primary→backup chain from the registry.
- ChatRequest.slot replaced by chat_role (default "chat")
- GET /backend returns available_roles instead of chat_models
- _available_roles_for_toggle() builds list from defined_roles, excluding
orchestrator (which has its own Agent mode)
- Model label on responses now reflects the actual role's assigned model
- Toggle is inert when only one role is configured (avoids useless cycling)
- Add "Clear browser cache" button to Account Settings (Connected Accounts)
- Add _role_model_label() helper for cleaner response tag labeling

Backend toggle now cycles through chat role models by label instead of
cycling service type strings (auto/claude/gemini/local).
- model_registry: get_model_for_slot() — resolves a specific priority
slot without walking the fallback chain
- llm_client: complete() gains slot param; explicit slot selection
dispatches directly to that model with no silent fallback
- routers/chat.py: ChatRequest.slot; GET /backend returns chat_models
[{slot, label, type}] for the UI; _stream_chat uses resolved model
label for the response tag when a slot is pinned
- app.js: toggle loads chat_models from /backend, cycles by label,
sends slot in chat payload; legacy model field removed from payload
- app.js: fix Gap B — agent mode placeholder no longer says "Gemini
tool loop"; now says "orchestrator"
- DESIGN doc: updated to reflect phases 1+2 complete, catalog-as-code
decision, Gap A/B documented, Phase 3 implementation details

local hosts, cloud/local model entries, and role assignments
- API reference: add local to model field, add /settings/models endpoint

Adds cloud provider management to /settings/models:
- Google Accounts section: add/remove Gemini API keys with labels
- Add Model form: provider tabs (Local / Google / Anthropic) with
catalog dropdowns that auto-fill label and context_k
- Provider badges on model rows (Anthropic / Google / Local)
- /settings/local now redirects to /settings/models (canonical URL)
- save_cloud_model() in model_registry for Anthropic/Google entries
- Distill role migration restored in _migrate_from_local_llm
- Test fixes: version assertions updated to V2

Each assistant message in the session JSON now carries:
backend, backend_label, host (platform.node())
These fields are shown as model tags in the UI — on live responses and
when loading session history. Session log entries (sessions/YYYY-MM-DD.md)
include the backend label and host in the turn header.
The local (OpenAI-compat) backend strips non-standard fields before
sending messages to the API so extra fields don't leak upstream.

- openai_orchestrator.py — new ReAct tool loop engine for any
OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenRouter, Open WebUI, Ollama, LiteLLM);
model handles both tool loop and final response, no Claude handoff needed
- tools/__init__.py — auto-derive OpenAI JSON Schema from existing Gemini
FunctionDeclarations so tool definitions have a single source of truth
- routers/orchestrator.py — route to openai_orchestrator when model registry
"orchestrator" role resolves to a local_openai type host
- routers/chat.py — pass role to _backend_label(); fix fallback_used logic
(only meaningful for explicit backend overrides, not auto-routing)
- static/app.js — add null/"auto" to backend cycle; fetch local model hint
without overriding the auto default on page load
- model_registry.py — _normalize() back-fills host_type on old registry files
- requirements.txt — add openai>=1.0.0
- ARCH__BACKENDS.md — document OpenAI-compat backend and routing logic

Adds host_type ("openwebui" | "openai") to the host schema so Cortex can
talk to both Open WebUI/Ollama and OpenRouter/standard-OpenAI endpoints.
Path differences per type:
openwebui (default): /api/chat/completions, /api/models
openai: /chat/completions, /models
model_registry.py:
- host_type added to host schema (default "openwebui", backward compat)
- save_host() accepts host_type parameter
- _resolve_model() passes host_type through with the merged host fields
llm_client._local():
- Reads host_type from resolved model_cfg
- Selects correct chat completions path accordingly
routers/local_llm.py:
- save_host route accepts host_type form field
- fetch-models uses /models for openai type, /api/models for openwebui
- Existing host rows show type selector pre-filled from stored value
local_llm.html:
- "Add host" form includes type selector
To use OpenRouter:
- Add host: URL = https://openrouter.ai/api/v1, Type = OpenAI-compatible
- API key from openrouter.ai (store in .env or model_registry.json only)
- Fetch models or add manually (e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20251022)

Fixes:
- app.js was tracking primaryBackend locally but never included
model: primaryBackend in the /chat POST body, so the server always
used settings.primary_backend regardless of what the user clicked.
Now model: primaryBackend is sent on every chat request.
- Responses were only annotated when fallback occurred. Now every
assistant message shows a small model tag at the bottom right.
chat.py:
- _backend_label() resolves human-readable name:
claude → "Claude", gemini → "Gemini",
local → registry label (e.g. "Gemma 4 E4B") or model_name
- SSE payload now includes backend_label field
app.js:
- model: primaryBackend added to /chat fetch body
- After every response, appends .model-tag div with backend_label
- Fallback shows "⚡ fallback → <label>" in amber; normal is muted
- Removed separate system message for fallback (tag covers it)
style.css:
- .model-tag: small muted text, right-aligned, separated by thin line
- .model-tag.fallback: amber (#f59e0b)

Users with Google accounts can now sign in without a password.
Auth flow:
- GET /auth/google → Google consent page (CSRF state cookie)
- GET /auth/google/callback → exchange code, lookup user, set JWT
- auth.json gains google_sub + google_email fields
- set_password() no longer overwrites unrelated auth.json fields
Admin setup:
python manage_passwords.py google-add <username> <email>
# add GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID + GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET to .env
Per-user Gemini key:
- get_user_gemini_key() reads gemini_api_key from auth.json
- orchestrator_engine.run() accepts gemini_api_key param
- orchestrator router passes user's key, falls back to server key
login.html: "Sign in with Google" button above the password form.
manage_passwords.py list: now shows auth method columns (pw / google).

Header:
- Sessions, ⚙ context panel, ≡ settings dropdown (Files, Account,
Sign Out), and ❓ help — down from 6+ individual buttons
- Responsive: flex-row on desktop, wraps on mobile with labels hidden
Footer (input area):
- 4-way mode select replaces the button row — shows only the active
mode as [icon] [label] ▲; click opens an upward dropdown
- Options sorted by MRU: most recently used floats to the bottom
(closest to the trigger button) for quick re-selection
- Current mode marked with ✓
- Note mode shows a small prv/pub sub-toggle below the select button
- Mobile: textarea on top (full width), mode select + send on one row
Mode state consolidated from 3 booleans into a single current_mode
variable with localStorage persistence and MRU tracking.

Adds a third input mode toggle alongside Note and Agent. When active:
- Textarea gets a subtle purple tint with dashed border
- OTR button highlights purple
- Placeholder reads "Off the record — not logged or distilled…"
- off_record=True is sent to /chat; session_logger is skipped
- In-memory session context is preserved within the session
Switching to Note or Agent mode deactivates OTR, and vice versa.

- files router: add user/persona query params to /files and /files/{name}
so the file browser loads the right persona's files
- app.js: pass user/persona on all session, history, and file fetches;
move _fileParams to top-level scope so it is available everywhere
- onboarding: fix FastAPI route ordering — register /persona before /{token}
so the literal path wins and does not get captured as a token value
- ui.py: read Emoji field from IDENTITY.md and inject into CORTEX_CONFIG

New user flow:
1. Admin: python manage_passwords.py invite <username> → generates URL
2. User visits /setup/<token> → sets own password → logged in
3. User redirected to /setup/persona → fills name/emoji/description
4. persona_template.py generates all starter files → lands at /{user}/{persona}
Multiple personas:
- Header persona name is now a clickable dropdown listing all personas
- "New persona" link at bottom → /setup/persona (available to logged-in users)
- /api/personas endpoint returns persona list for current session user
New files:
- persona_template.py: generates IDENTITY/SOUL/PROTOCOLS/USER/HELP.md + data files
- routers/onboarding.py: /setup/{token}, /setup/persona GET+POST
- static/setup.html: two-step form (password → persona), emoji picker, mobile-friendly
Updated:
- auth_utils.py: create_invite(), validate_invite(), consume_invite()
- manage_passwords.py: invite command with URL output
- auth_middleware.py: /setup/* prefix is public (invite tokens need no auth)
- routers/ui.py: /api/personas endpoint; post-login redirect if no personas
- static/app.js: persona switcher dropdown with navigation + Add persona link
- static/style.css: .persona-switcher, .persona-dropdown, mobile adjustments
Mobile: login/setup pages are card-centered with responsive padding;
dropdown avoids edge-clipping on narrow screens; logout button stays visible.
All 80 tests pass.
