+# Community release: operator handoff
+
+This is a deployment plan, not an instruction to deploy automatically. The user
+requested that the implementation remain in a PR until reviewed. Do not create a
+release tag, publish assets, enable the updater, or modify production as part of
+reviewing or testing this PR.
+
+## Current production baseline (2026-09-16)
+
+Production has been restored to the original v0.2.5 engine and original Caddy
+routing. The community service and its backup timer are stopped/disabled. The
+engine updater timer is also disabled so another release cannot roll out without
+an explicit decision. Account data and rollback backups have been retained.
+
+The engine binary and config were compared byte-for-byte with their original
+backups. Engine PID was unchanged during the public-routing rollback. The public
+health endpoint returned `{"status":"ok"}`. v0.2.6 is withdrawn/prerelease and must
+not be selected as a release candidate.
+
+## Review and validation
+
+The PR contains the exact revert of the draft ranking changes from #54, the
+public authentication entry and operational-route restrictions from #57, and
+mode-specific limits plus contribution quality screening. The community/CLI,
+local artifacts and credit ledger implementation already merged through #55 is
+part of the candidate's complete tree. Review the resulting tree against v0.2.5
+as well as the PR diff; reverting #54 must receive the normal owner review.
+
+Run with Go 1.26 and `GOWORK=off` when a parent workspace uses an older Go version:
+
+```sh
+GOWORK=off go vet ./...
+GOWORK=off go test -race -timeout 10m ./...
+GOWORK=off make smoke
+CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 GOWORK=off go build -o /tmp/cosift-community-candidate ./cmd/cosift
+node --check internal/community/web/app.js
+```
+
+Normal PR CI runs formatting, vet, Linux ARM64 compilation, full race tests and
+coverage. It does not deploy. After approval, the release workflow builds and
+signs five platform binaries. Pin the approved commit and verify SHA256 and
+minisign against the installed public key before installing any binary. Never
+reuse the withdrawn v0.2.6 artifacts.
+
+## Deployment sequence after explicit approval
+
+1. Keep the engine updater disabled. Record the approved commit, current binary
+   version and service configuration. Preserve the current binary, engine JSON,
+   Caddyfile and community unit/drop-ins in a timestamped private directory.
+   Take a SQLite-consistent community backup, including the ledger and pending
+   artifacts; use the existing corpus snapshot/checkpoint procedure.
+2. Verify the signed artifact's checksum, signature and version. Validate the
+   proposed Caddyfile before installing it. Confirm that the backend has a
+   configured chat model, the matching embedding model/dimension, and the admin
+   token. Keep tokens out of logs, command arguments and the repository.
+3. Install the approved engine binary and restart only the existing engine
+   process. Do not run a second full corpus instance on the production host.
+   Wait for `/healthz` and inspect loopback `/stats` until HNSW loading is ready.
+   Compare representative lexical, dense, Answer and Research queries to the
+   retained v0.2.5 baseline before routing users to the candidate.
+4. Verify the authenticated `/admin/community-moderate` and
+   `/admin/community-enqueue` routes exist. A safe fixture must pass moderation;
+   a blocked/uncertain fixture must never reach indexing or earn credits. Do not
+   route failed moderation to the old unguarded crawl endpoint. v0.2.5 lacks
+   these guarded routes, so deploying only a portal cannot activate ingestion.
+5. Install the community service with its private database directory and
+   root-owned environment file. The repository unit uses `/home/ubuntu/cosift`.
+   The prior experiment left a `standalone.conf` drop-in that instead points to
+   `/home/ubuntu/cosift-community`; remove that override for the shared-binary
+   strategy, or deliberately update and version-check both binaries. Run
+   `systemctl daemon-reload` before starting the portal. Never leave it using an
+   old standalone binary while upgrading the engine.
+6. Check `/api/limits`, registration/login/logout, interest persistence, saved
+   requests, sample CSV, and CLI guest/member requests over loopback first.
+   Enable the reviewed Caddy routing only after these checks pass. Confirm the
+   root routes to signup/login, public operational/admin/debug routes are
+   blocked, and both public hostnames use the same portal quotas.
+7. Verify a controlled safe URL contribution and a local artifact submission
+   using matching text, metadata and embeddings. Credit only newly indexed
+   content; repeat the same contribution and confirm no duplicate reward.
+   Remove only explicitly created QA accounts/data according to retention
+   requirements. Reject garbage and unsafe fixtures without sending harmful
+   material to the corpus. Classifier uncertainty must remain held.
+8. If payments are part of the approved rollout, complete the Stripe test-mode
+   checks in `docs/STRIPE.md` before supplying live credentials. Verify webhook
+   fulfillment, replay protection and refund reconciliation.
+9. Enable and test the community backup timer. Inspect logs and service restart
+   counts, confirm credit refunds on backend failure, and run the same client
+   flows through the public hostname. Leave automatic engine updates disabled
+   until the rollout is accepted; enabling them is a separate operator choice.
+
+## Default quotas and public API compatibility
+
+| Operation | Member hard cap | Guest hard cap |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Search | 60/minute | 1/minute |
+| Answer | 20/minute | 1/5 minutes |
+| Research | 3/10 minutes | 1/30 minutes |
+
+Guests also share one request/minute across retrieval and contributions. Members
+have 60 shared free requests/minute; one credit pays for each extra request
+within the hard caps. Credit balance never bypasses a cap. Backend failures
+release mode slots and refund guest allowances/credits. Mode quotas persist
+across restarts; the shared member free-attempt counter is process-local.
+
+Public `/search`, `/answer` and `/research` now use the portal and accept GET
+with `q`, matching the app/CLI. Existing public POST, streaming, or advanced
+native parameters require a client migration; loopback engine access retains
+its original interface. Check consumers before approving this routing change.
+
+## Rollback
+
+Keep the prior binary and configuration available locally throughout rollout.
+If engine verification fails, stop the new portal and restore the prior engine
+binary/config, then restart the existing engine service and verify its health
+and search baseline. Restore the prior Caddyfile and reload Caddy. If only
+portal verification fails while the engine is healthy, restore public routing
+and stop the portal without restarting the engine unnecessarily.
+
+Retain the community database rather than overwriting it with an old snapshot:
+restoring stale credits or account data can lose activity. Current schema
+changes are additive; retain the matching binary/schema backup if a database
+restore is necessary. Keep the updater disabled during rollback. The restored
+v0.2.5 engine cannot process guarded community contributions, so keep the portal
+worker stopped with that baseline.
+
+## Known scope
+
+Safety and quality checks are text-based and can make mistakes. Images/video
+are not classified. Unreadable, oversized or uncertain pages remain unverified.
+Obvious junk is screened before the model; the model handles broader spam and
+content judgments. Local embeddings are checked against server computation,
+so this first version does not promise server-compute savings. New content earns
+10 credits, globally deduplicated by content hash. Stripe one-time credit purchases are implemented but disabled until the secret
+API key and webhook signing secret are configured. See [Stripe activation and
+test-mode checks](STRIPE.md). Email verification and self-service password reset
+are not enabled in this version.
