Tool audit log:
- Every orchestrator tool call logged to home/{user}/tool_audit/YYYY-MM-DD.jsonl
- Files panel sidebar: audit log group (collapsed), date-linked read-only table
- Admin endpoints: /api/audit/files, /api/audit/day, /api/audit/recent, /api/audit/stats
- Engine and model name recorded per entry
OpenAI orchestrator improvements:
- Context budget enforcement: 75% of model context_k (min 16k)
- Message compaction: truncates old tool results when approaching budget
- max_rounds respected per model config (intersected with server cap)
OpenRouter onboarding (setup.html, onboarding.py, app.js, settings.html):
- Step 3 of 3: /setup/model with curated model picker
- Chat banner for users on server-default model (informational, not alarmist)
- Settings quick-link card; /setup/model works standalone for existing users
Model registry + session store:
- set_role_config / get_role_config for per-role tool lists and system_append
- session_store: session rename, session name backfill endpoint
UI updates (app.js, index.html, style.css, local_llm.html):
- Role toggle in context panel
- Off-the-record mode
- Agent notes read-only viewer
- OPERATIONS.md loaded at T2+ in context
Documentation:
- HELP.md: full tool table, per-role tool sets, Agent Notes, usage tracking
- TOOLS.md: Agent Notes section, count corrected to 44
- ARCH__SYSTEM.md, ARCH__BACKENDS.md, MASTER.md updated to match reality
- CLAUDE.md: onboarding flow, documentation philosophy sections
- README.md: stack in practice, DeepSeek TUI mention, architecture diagram updated
- TODO__Agents.md: onboarding task completed with deviation notes

Cortex / Inara — Master Index
Start here. This document is a map, not a manual. Last updated: 2026-05-06
Documentation philosophy: Cortex is a no-black-box system. Docs must match reality. Update docs before implementing significant changes. Verify they still match after.
What It Is
Cortex is a self-hosted personal AI platform. It routes messages from any input channel to AI backends, manages a resident agent (Inara) with persistent memory, and coordinates across a fleet of machines. It is infrastructure, not a product.
Running at: https://cortex.dgrzone.com | systemctl --user restart cortex
