 -   **Bootstrap Paradox Solved**: Implemented a guest-access exception for `site_domain` search, allowing the frontend to resolve site context without a JWT.
 -   **V3 Searchable Fields**: Confirmed that `searchable_fields` are fully implemented in `app/object_definitions/` and utilized by `app/lib_sql_search.py` for dynamic query generation.
 -   **Environment Sync Clarification**: Critical understanding that the `/home/scott/OSIT_dev/` directory is **NOT** a synchronized directory across different machines (e.g., Workstation vs. Laptop). This means virtual environments and installed dependencies are environment-specific and do not propagate via Syncthing. This is crucial for debugging cross-machine environment issues.
+-   **Circular Import Sensitivity**: Importing `JSONResponse` from `fastapi` in `app/routers/api.py` triggers a circular dependency crash. It is safer to rely on FastAPI's default dict-to-JSON serialization or use `mk_resp` without explicit `JSONResponse` typing in that specific file.

-This session focused on fixing Person creation issues, modularizing the V3 CRUD system, and enhancing Developer Experience (DX) for the frontend.
+This session focused on resolving startup errors in the `ae_api` container and improving database connectivity testing.
 
+*   **Bug Fixes & Stability:**
+    *   **Fixed NameError:** Resolved missing `mk_resp` import in `app/main.py`.
+    *   **Fixed AttributeError:** Corrected `response_class=PlainTextResponse` to `JSONResponse` (or default) for dict-returning endpoints.
+    *   **Resolved Circular Dependency:** Identified and fixed a circular import caused by `JSONResponse` usage in `app/routers/api.py`.
+*   **Infrastructure & Testing:**
+    *   **Safe SQL Test Endpoint:** Relocated and refactored the `sql_test` endpoint from `app/main.py` to `app/routers/api.py` (accessible at `/api/sql_test`).
+    *   **Safety Improvement:** Updated the test query to use `SELECT NOW(), VERSION()` instead of querying the `account` table, ensuring a safe connectivity check without exposing data.
 *   **V3 CRUD Modularization (Phase 1-3):**
     *   Successfully refactored `app/routers/api_crud_v3.py` into a modular architecture.
     *   **Logic Extraction:** Created `app/lib_api_crud_v3.py` for shared security and filtering logic.

     *   **Address & Contact:** Updated models and JSON mappings to include `hide`, `priority`, `sort`, `group`, and `notes`. Fixed missing imports and unsafe validator access.
     *   **Journal:** Added `fields_to_exclude_from_db` to filter out view-only fields (e.g., `person_full_name`) during updates.
     *   **Post:** Added `external_person_id` to searchable fields.
-*   **Test Suite Creation:** Established a `/tests` directory with focused scripts:
-    *   `test_model_validation.py` (Person/Auth key defaults).
-    *   `test_v3_filtering.py` (Journal exclusion lists).
-    *   `test_v3_router_filtering.py` (Payload sanitization).
-    *   `test_v3_error_bubbling.py` (SQL error formatting).
-*   **System Health & Architecture:**
-    *   Audit confirmed API and AI services (Ollama/WebUI) are stable; ComfyUI is stuck in a restart loop.
-    *   Analyzed and recommended scope expansion to the `/home/scott/OSIT_dev/` root for better platform orchestration.
