Align World Knowledge with CHIM/ALMSIVI Oghma parity

[RANGROO]

Summary

• Aligns Fallout 3/New Vegas/TTW World Knowledge with the CHIM and ALMSIVI Oghma contract.
• Uses the shared eight-field article shape, canonical topics and aliases, flat advanced/basic classes, negative-first access, grounded retrieval, forced context, bounded fallback, and immutable catalog versions.
• Keeps Fallout-specific factions, regions, species, identities, and catalog content independent.
• The Python catalog-generation toolchain is intentionally excluded; the PR retains only the finalized catalog, integrity/provenance data, runtime code, and tests.
• Aligns the World Knowledge editor and audit pages with Herika's compact dark/orange UI while retaining DIALECTIC terminology and typography.

Final parity

• common is an article-only public-basic marker and is never assigned to NPCs.
• Persisted NPC tags now contain only frozen Fallout roles, specialist domains, factions, races, regions, and reviewed localities.
• NPC names are no longer stored as profile knowledge classes. The NPC's own subject is inferred only during the in-memory access check for self-knowledge.
• Runtime access strips legacy blocked and common policy markers before evaluating NPC knowledge.
• knowall is never inferred for factory biographies but remains available as a deliberate user override.
• Public basic access works with no NPC knowledge tags; negative exclusions still deny first.
• Connector fallback is opt-in by default.
• Article tags only rank already grounded topics.
• Unresolved referential follow-ups can carry one prior grounded topic, scoped to the current NPC.

NPC tag audit

• Factory NPC rows: 1,250
• Valid assignments: 4,439
• Persisted self-name classes: 0
• Factory policy-marker assignments: 0
• Tags outside the frozen vocabulary: 0
• Empty profiles: 15, retained intentionally when no evidence-backed class exists
• Migration worldknowledge_npc_class_cleanup version 20260814005 reprojects recognized factory seeds and removes exact persisted NPC subjects from factory, custom, active, and history records while preserving every other user-authored tag.

Catalog

• Factory articles: 1,169
• Hidden/blocked basic tiers: 93
• Location articles: 451
• Catalog version: parity-v1.8-2026-08-14
• Catalog SHA-256: 668643b70ebc932603e730a754d972733a1c0c380c8e4ae3e4c67199535e22f1
• Catalog activation now fails closed unless the installed factory-row count matches the manifest.
• Migration worldknowledge_catalog_integrity version 20260814006 automatically repairs incomplete installations before activation.

Factory article editing

• Factory rows now use the same Edit action as custom rows.
• Saving a factory edit creates a custom override for the same canonical topic and leaves the shipped row unchanged.
• The modal explains the override, locks the factory topic, hides Delete until a custom article exists, and labels the save action Save as Custom Article.
• The server determines factory/custom ownership from the effective database row rather than trusting the browser.
• Focused PostgreSQL checks passed: 2 tests and 18 assertions covering custom-over-factory preservation and factory reprovisioning.

Validation

• Forced-context/access/retrieval suite: 23 tests, 111 assertions passed.
• Dataset contract: 1 test, 16,657 assertions passed.
• Factory reprovision and custom-data preservation: 1 test, 8 assertions passed.
• Catalog integrity regression: focused 2 tests, 12 assertions passed.
• Canonicalizer check: 1,169 articles and zero pending article, source, expansion, or NPC changes.
• NPC projection audit: 1,250 rows, 4,439 valid assignments, zero self names, zero policy markers, and zero invalid classes.
• Live PostgreSQL verification now reports 1,169 installed and 1,169 effective factory articles for active v1.8.
• Migration 20260814006 is applied locally; an incomplete catalog cannot displace the current active catalog.
• Changed PHP lint and git diff --check passed.

Local deployment

• Commit 6f54ef5b5f7d9ba80cbb430e8e6692c8f22f1024 is deployed to /var/www/html/DialecticServer.
• Migration worldknowledge_catalog_integrity version 20260814006 repaired the active local catalog from 151 to 1,169 effective factory articles.
• HTTP health returned 200 and Apache voice-directory write access passed.
• The latest factory-edit and referential follow-up commits are not deployed locally.
• Local configuration, logs, caches, backups, uploads, and voice samples remain preserved.

Limits

• No new in-game Fallout conversation was run.
• The two focused factory/custom catalog regressions passed. The broader legacy World Knowledge test class was stopped after entering an unrelated mocked dialogue/TTS path.

Shared retrieval priority update

• Order: conversation -> exact location -> worldspace/region -> race -> faction.
• One shared result budget: default 3, configurable from 1 through 5.
• Topic extraction remains default 1 and maximum 3.
• Conversation owns duplicates. Forced context only fills unused slots, and a full conversation budget skips all forced database lookups.
• Validation: 23 focused tests and 111 assertions passed, including referential follow-up coverage.
• Commit 6f54ef5b5f7d9ba80cbb430e8e6692c8f22f1024 is deployed to /var/www/html/DialecticServer; changed runtime hashes match, Apache write access passed, and HTTP returned 200.

Current dataset lifecycle

• Treats the checked-in Fallout package as the sole factory source of truth.
• Validates checksums before one transactional factory replacement; custom articles and canonical overrides are preserved.
• Keeps one current integrity record and removes catalog activation/version-history controls. Rollback is Git revert plus redeploy.
• Local WSL verification: parity-v1.8-2026-08-14, 1,169 factory articles, database in sync.

Fixed catalog pagination

• The World Knowledge catalog now loads exactly 500 articles per page.
• The former 25/50/100 selector and per_page URL behavior were removed.
• Existing filters, page clamping, result ranges, and Previous/Next navigation are preserved.
• Validation: PHP lint, static pagination checks, and diff checks passed.
• Not deployed; browser and in-game verification remain outstanding.
