 -   **V3 Implementation:** Modern parallel CRUD and Search endpoints under `/v3/crud`.
 -   **Summary**: This project serves as the backend for the Aether system, providing core API functionalities.
 
-### Key Technical Learnings (Cumulative)
+### Key Technical Hack/Learnings (Cumulative)
 -   **Circular Dependencies Fixed**: Successfully resolved the fragile startup dependency chain by isolating Auth models and using strictly deferred DB imports in a dedicated `dependencies_v3.py` module.
 -   **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.
+-   **ID Vision Mapping Stability**: Resolved a critical conflict in `app/lib_sql_search.py` where backend-injected integer filters (e.g., `account_id`) were being incorrectly mapped to `_random` string columns. Mapping now only occurs for non-integer values.
--   **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.
+-   **API Error Transparency**: Modified `sql_select` to return `False` on hard database errors (instead of empty results). Updated the V3 search endpoint to return a `500 Internal Server Error` in these cases, preventing "silent failures" where frontend developers would see `200 OK` with zero results during system errors.
+-   **NULL Logic in Filters**: Confirmed that explicit frontend filters like `hide: false` will FAIL to match `NULL` database values in standard SQL equality. It is more robust to rely on the API's built-in `hidden=not_hidden` URL parameter, which handles `(hide = false OR hide IS NULL)` automatically.

-*   **Aether Field Manager (ae_field_manage.py):**
+*   **V3 Search Engine Enhancements:**
-    *   Developed a "Vertical Slice" automation tool in `~/agents_sync/scripts/` to handle field additions across DB, SQL Views, Pydantic Models, and Search Registries.
+    *   **Comprehensive ID Vision:** Expanded `vision_fields` mapping to include almost all major Aether objects (Event, Journal, Order, Product, etc.), allowing clean names in frontend filters.
-    *   Implemented multi-layer safety: Timestamped backups, syntax pre-verification, and mandatory `--execute` flag.
+    *   **Error Handling Refactor:** Standardized SQL error bubbling to return `500` status codes with DB details instead of misleading `200` successes.
-    *   Verified "Dry Run" logic for both `person` and `site` objects.
+    *   **Status Filter Consistency:** Added `not_enabled` alias for the `enabled` status parameter to align with `not_hidden`.
-*   **Hosted File Path Bugfix:**
+*   **Object Definitions:**
-    *   Identified and resolved a "Bootstrap Paradox" in `app/lib_config_v3.py` where database-stored paths (for production) were overwriting local Docker container paths.
+    *   Whitelisted clean ID names (e.g., `event_id`, `account_id`) in `searchable_fields` for Events, Badges, and Journals to support the new mapping logic.
-    *   Ensured `FILES_PATH` remains controlled by the container environment variables, restoring functionality to file downloads.
+*   **Database Synchronization:**
+    *   Verified and resolved `v_journal_entry` missing column errors after user updated the view to include `account_id`.
