- Cleaned up old verification scripts (moved to tests/).
- Added validators to Person_Base, Journal_Base, Journal_Entry_Base, Address_Base, and Contact_Base to handle null values and unsafe lookups.
- Implemented 'fields_to_exclude_from_db' ClassVar in Journal models to prevent view-only fields from causing DB errors.
- Updated Contact object map to align with DB schema.
- Added comprehensive test suite in 'tests/' directory (model validation, filtering logic).
- Updated GEMINI.md with progress.
- Added Pydantic validators to Person_Base to handle null values for given_name and allow_auth_key, ensuring database NOT NULL constraints are met.
- Updated api_crud_v3.py (POST and PATCH) to filter out virtual *_id_random fields from data payloads before database operations to prevent "Unknown column" errors.
- Updated GEMINI.md with session progress.
- Synchronized searchable_fields (V3 whitelists) across all Primary and Active AE objects (Identity, People, Events, Journals, Posts, Archives, Business).
