-# Historical Document Transcription
+# Historical Document Transcription Design Intent
 I have several thousand pages of family history told through letters, postcards, books, and other documents that I want to transcribe to text. 
 
+---
+
 ## Goals
 1. Preserve our family history
 2. Unburden my family (and descendants) from having to store and care for the physical media. Once the documents have been transcribed and organized, they can be donated (or kept by a family member that wants to retain them).
 3. Make the text easily available and searchable by family members, as well as AI (which may have different requirements).
 4. Ability create timelines or assemble the historical record of the family or specific individuals from across the complete document archive. Perhaps use AI to create the timelines in a more narrative form.
 
+---
+
 ## Source material
 1. **letters, cards, diaries** - handwritten; mostly stored in tubs, with little organization
 2. **books** - typed or typeset; mostly self-published books 50-100 pages in length. This may be expanded to include selected pages from other publications.
 3. **newspaper clippings, event programs, invitations, and other ephemera**
 
- ## Methodology
+---
-### Verbatim vs. Clean Copy
-Transcriptions should be Verbatim and follow scholarly research guidelines, with no modifications to the original text.
 
-### Prompt Curation Policy
+## Methodology
-Transcription behavior should be implemented with prompt assets that are human-maintainable over time.
 
-1. Each transcription prompt is stored as an individual Markdown file.
+1. Follow current best practices per "A Guide to Documentary Editing" by Mary-Jo Kline. (See [Transcription Methodology](transcription_methodology.md))
-2. Prompt files are refined iteratively as document quality and edge cases are discovered.
-3. Prompt changes should be scoped to one prompt file at a time whenever possible to keep review history clear.
 
-### Potential Document Issues
-| Document Issue | How to Handle It | Example |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| **Misspellings & Errors** | Retain original spelling and insert italicized `[sic]` directly after the error. | `The weather was very cold and publick [sic] business delayed.` |
-| **Missing Words / Slips** | Insert the missing word inside square brackets to restore basic readability. | `We went [to] the store to buy supplies.` |
-| **Uncertain / Guesswork** | Place your best hypothesis followed by a question mark inside square brackets. | `He went to [Boston?] yesterday to meet the governor.` |
-| **Completely Illegible** | Use a clear descriptive term like `[illegible]` or specify the reason (e.g., `[torn]`, `[ink blot]`). | `The total cost was [illegible] dollars.` or `The letter ends here [remainder of page torn].` |
-| **Crossed-out Text** | Wrap the removed word or phrase in a deleted tag to preserve the author's edits. | `We left at [deleted: noon] one o'clock instead.` |
-| **Squeezed-in Text** | Wrap text that was added above the line or in a tight space in an inserted tag. | `The [inserted: red] house on the hill was abandoned.` |
-| **Superscripts & Abbreviations** | Bring raised letters down to the main line, or optionally expand them in brackets. | `Change Gen^l to Genl` OR `Change to Gen[era]l depending on project preference.` |
-| **Images / Seals / Signs** | Describe the non-textual element using italicized text inside square brackets. | `[wax notary seal attached here]` or `[sketch of a fort layout]` |
-| **Marginalia / Notes** | Note the spatial transition clearly before transcribing the note itself. | `[written in left margin:] Do not share this with anyone.` |
-| **Line Breaks / Hyphens** | Rejoin words split across a page margin silently, dropping the line-break hyphen. | `Original: "estab- / lishment" becomes "establishment"` |
-| **Ambiguous Capitalization** | Default to modern capitalization rules unless an archaic uppercase letter is clearly intentional. | `If a standard noun like 'Farm' looks randomly capitalized, type 'farm'.` |
-**Hierarchical Outlines** | Preserve exact numbering characters (including lowercase Roman numerals or terminal 'j'). Replicate indentation levels using spaces/tabs. Do not correct math or sequence errors silently. | `I. Main Topic`<br>`&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Sub-point`<br>`&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Next point`<br>`III. [sic] Third Topic` |

+# System Architecture (Version 2)
+
+This document describes the V2 production architecture of the personal historical-document transcription system.
+
+## Architecture Objectives
+
+* Preserve source material as immutable transcribed text alongside page-level spatial AI metadata.
+* Support batching multi-image and folder uploads cleanly into sequential pages (`page_number`).
+* Leverage asynchronous worker pools (`asyncio`) for parallel single-image API execution bounded by rate limiters (`asyncio.Semaphore`).
+* Migrate persistence to PostgreSQL using native `UUID`, `TIMESTAMPTZ`, and `JSONB` document storage.
+* Standardize all data validation, API parsing, and database models on **Pydantic V2**.
+* Support rich historical attribution (multi-author and multi-recipient relationships).
+
+## Runtime Topology
+
+The V2 runtime operates as an asynchronous Python application:
+
+* FastAPI + NiceGUI web application process.
+* In-process `asyncio` background task orchestrator for parallel API execution.
+* Relational persistence via PostgreSQL (using `asyncpg` or `psycopg3`).
+* Pydantic V2 validation layer wrapping API payloads and PostgreSQL `JSONB` schemas.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+U[Browser User] --> A[FastAPI + NiceGUI App]
+A --> W[Asyncio Worker Engine]
+A --> DB[(PostgreSQL Database)]
+W --> P[Vision Provider APIs\nOpenAI / Claude]
+W --> DB
+```
+
+## Lifecycle Ownership
+
+Application lifespan owns runtime setup/teardown:
+
+* Initialize environment logging and Pydantic configuration.
+* Manage asynchronous PostgreSQL connection pools (`asyncpg` / `psycopg3`).
+* Execute database migrations and index initialization.
+* Recover stale processing jobs on startup.
+* Manage graceful shutdown of active `asyncio` worker pools.
+
+## Layered Module Structure
+
+### Interface Layer
+
+* `src/transcription/ui/**` (NiceGUI pages, multi-page renderers, person cards)
+* `src/transcription/api/**` (FastAPI routes and JSON error handlers)
+
+### Application & Async Worker Layer
+
+* `src/transcription/services/workflows.py`
+* `src/transcription/worker.py`
+
+Responsibilities:
+
+* Batch orchestration and status transitions (`queued` -> `processing` -> `completed` | `partial_success` | `failed`).
+* Parallel single-image API execution using `asyncio.gather` bounded by `asyncio.Semaphore`.
+* Pydantic schema parsing (`PageAIMetadata`) and validation prior to database storage.
+
+### Domain & Service Layer
+
+* `src/transcription/models/*.py` (Pydantic V2 schemas and entity definitions)
+* `src/transcription/services/*.py` (Transactional operations for `Document`, `Person`, `Source`, `Job`, and `JobSource`)
+
+### Infrastructure Layer
+
+* `src/transcription/db/**` (PostgreSQL connection pooling and raw parameterized SQL execution)
+* `src/transcription/providers/**` (OpenAI & Anthropic Vision SDK adapters)
+
+## Processing Workflow
+
+1. User uploads a folder or batch of images for a `Document`.
+2. System creates `Document`, `Job(status='queued')`, and ordered `Source` pages (`page_number = 1..N`).
+3. Worker claims job, sets `Job.status = 'processing'`, and spawns parallel `asyncio` tasks bounded by semaphore.
+4. Each task calls Vision API for a **single** `Source` image.
+5. On task completion:
+* Writes a `JobSource` record containing `status='transcribed'`, `raw_transcription`, `ai_metadata` (bounding boxes/confidence), and `raw_api_response`.
+* Caches active text to `Source.raw_transcription`.
+
+
+6. On page failure:
+* Writes `JobSource` record with `status='failed'` and `error_detail`.
+
+
+7. Once all page tasks resolve:
+* Marks `Job.status` as `completed` (100% success), `partial_success` (at least 1 success, 1 failure), or `failed` (all failed).
+
+
+
+## Domain Ownership & Invariants
+
+* **Immutable AI Outputs:** `source.raw_transcription` and `job_source.raw_transcription` store original, point-in-time machine output and are immutable.
+* **Inlined Revisions:** Human corrections occur on `source.revised_text`. UI renders `COALESCE(revised_text, raw_transcription)`.
+* **Sequential Integrity:** Multi-page documents are strictly ordered by `source.page_number ASC`.
+* **Page Execution Isolation:** A failure on one page image does not invalidate successful transcriptions on sister pages in the same batch job.
+
+## Data Model Summary
+
+* `Document` has many `Source` pages, many `Job` runs, and many `Person` records via `DocumentPerson` junction (`author` or `recipient`).
+* `Source` belongs to one `Document` and can be processed across many `JobSource` executions.
+* `Job` has many `JobSource` execution records.
+
+## Test Strategy
+
+* Unit tests for Pydantic V2 schemas, custom validators, and JSONB serialization.
+* Integration tests for async PostgreSQL connection handling and parameterized queries.
+* Async workflow tests using mock AI providers to verify `partial_success` and retry logic.
+* UI integration tests for multi-page rendering and person management.

+# Error Handling Policy (Version 2)
+
+This document defines the canonical error-handling policy for the V2 document transcription system.
+
+## Error Handling Objectives
+
+* Make failures visible in clear, actionable language at both the document and individual page levels.
+* Support **isolated failure handling** in multi-image batches so single page errors do not crash an entire batch job.
+* Preserve diagnostic detail (Pydantic validation errors, raw provider responses) in PostgreSQL `JSONB` for fast troubleshooting.
+* Ensure consistent error envelope structure across API, UI, and async worker boundaries.
+
+## Scope And Authority
+
+Governs error behavior across NiceGUI pages, FastAPI routes, service orchestration, `asyncio` background tasks, PostgreSQL interactions, and AI provider adapters.
+
+## Error Taxonomy
+
+| Category | Definition | Retriable |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `validation_error` | Pydantic payload or parameter schema validation failure | no |
+| `user_input_error` | Unacceptable user file (unsupported image type, corrupt file) | no |
+| `not_found_error` | Requested resource (`Document`, `Source`, `Person`, `Job`) missing | no |
+| `conflict_error` | Operation violates state constraints (e.g., duplicate `document_person` role) | no |
+| `external_provider_error` | AI Provider API failure (rate limit, vision execution error) | yes |
+| `infrastructure_transient_error` | Temporary DB connection reset or HTTP timeout | yes |
+| `infrastructure_persistent_error` | Database down, missing API credentials, misconfiguration | no |
+| `internal_unexpected_error` | Uncaught Python exception or logic defect | no |
+
+## Async Batch & Page-Level Error Behavior
+
+In multi-image `asyncio` batch processing:
+
+1. **Page Isolation:** Exceptions caught during individual page calls are caught within the `asyncio` task wrapper.
+2. **Page Record Logging:** Page failure detail is written directly to `job_source.error_detail` and `job_source.status = 'failed'`.
+3. **Batch Aggregate State:**
+* If **all** page tasks succeed -> `job.status = 'completed'`.
+* If **some** page tasks fail -> `job.status = 'partial_success'`.
+* If **all** page tasks fail -> `job.status = 'failed'`.
+
+
+4. **Retry Strategy:** The UI exposes a "Retry Failed Pages" option for `partial_success` jobs, which spawns a new targeted `Job` containing *only* the `Source` IDs marked as `failed`.
+
+## API Error Response Contract
+
+API error responses return a structured JSON envelope:
+```json
+{
+"error_id": "err_uuid_12345",
+"category": "validation_error",
+"message": "The uploaded payload failed schema validation.",
+"suggestion": "Check file format and metadata fields, then try again.",
+"details": {
+"pydantic_errors": [...]
+},
+"timestamp": "2026-07-31T07:55:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+HTTP Status Mappings:
+
+* `validation_error`, `user_input_error` -> `400`
+* `not_found_error` -> `404`
+* `conflict_error` -> `409`
+* `external_provider_error` -> `502` / `503`
+* `infrastructure_transient_error` -> `503`
+* `infrastructure_persistent_error`, `internal_unexpected_error` -> `500`

+# Implementation Plan (Version 2)
+
+This plan defines the path from the V1 baseline to **Version 2 complete**, aligned to the updated multi-image and multi-person relational domain model:
+
+* `Document` acts as a logical parent container for physical artifacts, supporting multi-author and multi-recipient relationships via `DocumentPerson`.
+* `Source` represents an individual image page within a document, maintaining sequential order (`page_number`), cached active machine output (`raw_transcription`), and inline single user revisions (`revised_text`).
+* `Job` acts as an overarching batch orchestrator for multi-page async processing tasks.
+* `JobSource` records individual point-in-time API executions per image page, storing Pydantic-validated `ai_metadata` and raw REST envelopes (`raw_api_response`).
+* **Pydantic V2** acts as the single source of truth for runtime validation, API payload parsing, and PostgreSQL JSONB serialization.
+
+The objective is to complete the V2 scope with production readiness while keeping non-V2 enhancements out of active delivery.
+
+---
+
+## V2 Completion Definition
+
+V2 is complete when all of the following are true:
+
+1. **Functional complete**
+* Multi-image and whole-folder uploads assign sequential page numbers to `Source` records under a single `Document`.
+* Batch jobs process pages concurrently using an `asyncio` worker pool with semaphore rate limiting.
+* Partial job failures resolve cleanly to `partial_success`, allowing single-page retries without re-running successful pages.
+* Multi-author and multi-recipient tagging is supported on `Document`.
+
+
+2. **Data-model complete**
+* SQLite is fully replaced with PostgreSQL (using `asyncpg` or `psycopg3`).
+* Pydantic V2 models validate all API payloads, database row mappings, and `JSONB` structures.
+
+
+3. **Operational complete**
+* Concurrency controls, worker pool metrics, and database connections operate safely under batch load.
+
+
+4. **Documentation complete**
+* `schema_v2.md`, `DDL_v2.sql`, Pydantic model contracts are updated and consistent.
+
+
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Data Contract Stabilization & Pydantic Baseline
+
+**Goal:** Lock the PostgreSQL schema, DDL, and Pydantic V2 models before refactoring service logic.
+
+### Tasks
+
+1. Finalize DDL for PostgreSQL native types (`UUID`, `TIMESTAMPTZ`, `JSONB`) and junction tables (`document_person`, `job_source`).
+2. Build core Pydantic V2 schemas (`Person`, `Document`, `Source`, `Job`, `JobSource`, `PageAIMetadata`).
+3. Confirm and document data invariants:
+* `source.raw_transcription` and `job_source.raw_transcription` are immutable machine outputs.
+* `source.revised_text` holds user edits. UI renders `COALESCE(revised_text, raw_transcription)`.
+* Page sequence is strictly ordered by `source.page_number ASC`.
+
+
+4. Freeze V2 job status values (`queued`, `processing`, `completed`, `partial_success`, `failed`) and page execution status values (`pending`, `transcribed`, `failed`).
+
+### Deliverables
+
+* Canonical `docs/schema_v2.md` and `docs/DDL_v2.sql`.
+* Centralized Pydantic validation suite in `models/schemas_v2.py`.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+
+* All database tables, relationships, and JSONB structures have corresponding Pydantic V2 models passing unit validation tests.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Persistence Layer Transition (SQLite to PostgreSQL)
+
+**Goal:** Replace the SQLite storage layer with an asynchronous PostgreSQL driver (`asyncpg` or `psycopg3`).
+
+### Tasks
+
+1. Configure PostgreSQL database connection pooling and environment configuration.
+2. Refactor `services/store.py` / repository layers to execute parameterized async SQL queries (`$1`, `$2`).
+3. Implement JSONB serialization and deserialization helpers using Pydantic's `.model_dump_json()` and `.model_validate()`.
+4. Implement database bootstrap routines for PostgreSQL table creation and index initialization.
+
+### Deliverables
+
+* PostgreSQL-native database connection and query service modules.
+* Integration test suite confirming connection pooling and JSONB CRUD operations.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+
+* All database reads/writes run asynchronously against PostgreSQL with zero remaining SQLite driver dependencies.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Service Layer & `asyncio` Engine Refactor
+
+**Goal:** Implement batch orchestration and parallel single-image API execution.
+
+### Tasks
+
+1. Refactor upload service to process folder/multi-image input:
+* Group files into a single `Document`.
+* Create ordered `Source` rows (`page_number = 1..N`).
+
+
+2. Refactor `services/workflows.py` with `asyncio` worker pools:
+* Use `asyncio.Semaphore` to enforce API provider rate limits.
+* Issue parallel single-image requests to Vision APIs (OpenAI/Claude).
+* Parse API responses directly into Pydantic models (`PageAIMetadata`).
+
+
+3. Update execution tracking:
+* Create a `JobSource` row per page call to record `raw_transcription`, `ai_metadata`, and `raw_api_response`.
+* Update active `source.raw_transcription` upon task completion.
+* Calculate aggregate batch status (`completed`, `partial_success`, `failed`) on the parent `Job`.
+
+
+4. Refactor `services/person.py` and `services/documents.py` to handle multi-person roles via `document_person`.
+
+### Deliverables
+
+* Asynchronous batch execution engine in `services/workflows.py`.
+* Service routines for multi-person tagging and page-level retries.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+
+* Executing a folder upload of 10+ images processes concurrently, populates page-level `JobSource` entries, and handles partial worker errors without crashing the batch.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — UI & API Contract Alignment
+
+**Goal:** Update API endpoints and frontend/UI views to render multi-page documents and person roles.
+
+### Tasks
+
+1. Update document and job API endpoints to accept batch file arrays and multi-person ID payloads.
+2. Update UI document views:
+* Render multi-page document transcriptions sequentially by `page_number`.
+* Display author and recipient chips/cards linked from `document_person`.
+
+
+3. Update job detail UI to show page-level execution statuses (`transcribed` vs. `failed`) and provide a "Retry Failed Pages" action for `partial_success` jobs.
+4. Align inline page editing controls to update `source.revised_text` and `source.date_revised`.
+
+### Deliverables
+
+* Refactored API routes and UI components supporting multi-page rendering and person management.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+
+* UI successfully displays multi-page document text, allows per-page human revisions, and shows author/recipient metadata.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Test Suite Realignment & Concurrency Testing
+
+**Goal:** Ensure end-to-end system stability under concurrent async execution and load.
+
+### Tasks
+
+1. Write unit tests for Pydantic models, custom validators, and JSONB conversions.
+2. Write integration tests for async database operations:
+* CRUD for `Document`, `Person`, `DocumentPerson`, `Source`, `Job`, and `JobSource`.
+
+
+3. Write mock-backed async workflow tests:
+* Verify `asyncio.Semaphore` bounds concurrent tasks properly.
+* Validate state transition logic for `completed`, `partial_success`, and `failed` jobs.
+* Confirm retry routines process only targeted `JobSource` records marked as `failed`.
+
+
+4. Re-enable CI quality gates (linting, type checking with Pyright/mypy, pytest).
+
+### Deliverables
+
+* Passing asynchronous test suite covering core workflows, edge cases, and failure recoveries.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+
+* CI pipeline is green with comprehensive coverage across database operations, Pydantic models, and worker queues.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — Reliability, Operations, and Release Readiness
+
+**Goal:** Prepare V2 for production deployment and operator management.
+
+### Tasks
+
+1. Verify structured logging includes `job_id`, `document_id`, `source_id`, and `person_id`.
+2. Tune PostgreSQL connection pool limits and `asyncio` concurrency thresholds for production infrastructure.
+3. Update operational documentation:
+* Review and update `docs/schema_v2.md` as needed.
+* Create `docs/runbook_v2.md` detailing PostgreSQL maintenance, JSONB index management, and worker queue monitoring.
+* Create `docs/release_checklist_v2.md` for launch sign-off.
+
+
+
+### Deliverables
+
+* Updated project documentation and operational runbooks.
+* V2 release sign-off checklist.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+
+* All documentation reflects V2 architecture; launch checklist is fully verified.
+
+---
+
+## Requirement Traceability Focus
+
+Maintain evidence against these V2 requirement groups:
+
+* **Batch & Multi-Image Pipeline:** Folder ingestion, page ordering, async worker execution.
+* **Database & Persistence:** PostgreSQL, native UUIDs, JSONB execution storage, `asyncpg` pooling.
+* **Validation & Schemas:** Pydantic V2 models for DB rows, API requests, and AI vision responses.
+* **Attribution & Metadata:** Multi-author and multi-recipient tagging, biographical entity management.
+* **Error Recovery:** Partial success states, page-level status flags, isolated retry execution.
+
+---
+
+## Scope Discipline Rule (V2 Focus)
+
+* Only tasks required for V2 scope (PostgreSQL, Pydantic V2, folder/async processing, multi-person roles) enter this plan.
+* V3 candidate features (such as side-by-side multi-provider model output comparison) remain strictly in the future backlog.
+* Any schema adjustments during implementation require immediate updates to `DDL_v2.sql`, Pydantic models, and `schema_v2.md`.

+# Document Transcription System Overview (Version 2)
+
+This project is a personal-scale application for transcribing, indexing, and preserving historical family documents, letters, postcards, and journals.
+
+## Start Here
+
+Read [architecture_v2.md](architecture_v2.md) first for technical overview and system design.
+
+## Core V2 Capabilities
+
+* **Folder & Multi-Image Ingestion:** Upload whole folders or image batches that map sequentially (`page_number`) under a single `Document`.
+* **Parallel Async AI Vision Engine:** Concurrently process single-page image transcriptions using Python `asyncio` bounded by rate limiters.
+* **Robust PostgreSQL Storage:** Relational storage for entities with native `UUID`, `TIMESTAMPTZ`, and `JSONB` for deep AI spatial metadata and raw envelopes.
+* **Pydantic V2 Validation:** End-to-end type safety, DB row mapping, and JSONB payload validation.
+* **Historical Person Management:** Track authors and recipients across documents with rich biographical entities (`Person`).
+* **Page-Level Execution Auditing & Revisions:** Store immutable point-in-time machine output per run while enabling inline human corrections (`revised_text`).
+* **Partial Failure Recovery:** Bounded batch execution that isolates single-page API errors (`partial_success`) for simple retries.
+
+## Technical Stack
+
+* **Application Web Framework:** FastAPI + NiceGUI
+* **Persistence Engine:** PostgreSQL 13+
+* **Data Validation & Schemas:** Pydantic V2
+* **Concurrency & Workers:** Python `asyncio` worker pool with `asyncio.Semaphore`
+* **Vision Providers:** OpenAI (GPT-4o) and Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) via native SDKs

-# Step 1 Implementation Plan: `config.py` + `models.py` + `db.py`
-
-## Purpose
-
-Establish the foundational data layer and configuration system that every subsequent MVP step builds on. At the end of this step, the project has a runnable Python package with a validated schema, typed configuration, and a test suite proving the data layer works — before any UI, worker, or AI provider code exists.
-
----
-
-## 1. Prerequisite: Project Structure Scaffolding
-
-Before writing any logic, create the package skeleton so imports work correctly.
-
-### Files to create (empty `__init__.py` stubs)
-
-```
-src/
-└── transcription/
-    ├── __init__.py
-    ├── providers/
-    │   └── __init__.py
-    ├── services/
-    │   └── __init__.py
-    └── ui/
-        └── __init__.py
-```
-
-### Files to create (with logic — the Step 1 deliverables)
-
-```
-src/transcription/config.py
-src/transcription/models.py
-src/transcription/db.py
-```
-
-### Test files to create
-
-```
-tests/
-├── __init__.py
-├── conftest.py
-├── test_config.py
-├── test_models.py
-└── test_db.py
-```
-
-### Update `pyproject.toml`
-
-Add the dependencies that Step 1 requires and won't change later:
-
-```toml pyproject.toml
-[project]
-name = "transcription"
-version = "0.1.0"
-description = "Historical document transcription system"
-readme = "README.md"
-requires-python = ">=3.12"
-dependencies = [
-    "openrouter>=0.7.0",
-    "pydantic>=2.13.4",
-    "pydantic-settings>=2.9.1",
-    "sqlmodel>=0.0.25",
-]
-
-[project.optional-dependencies]
-dev = [
-    "pytest>=8.0",
-    "pytest-asyncio>=0.25",
-]
-
-[tool.pytest.ini_options]
-addopts = "--strict-markers -q"
-markers = [
-    "unit: pure logic tests with no external dependencies",
-    "integration: tests that touch framework or database contracts",
-    "external: tests that call external services (slow, requires credentials)",
-]
-```
-
-Key additions:
-- **`openrouter`** — official OpenRouter Python SDK used for model calls
-- **`pydantic-settings`** — for `BaseSettings` with env-var loading (this was split out of `pydantic` core in v2)
-- **`sqlmodel`** — provides SQLModel (which bundles SQLAlchemy + Pydantic model integration) and the SQLite driver
-- **`pytest` + `pytest-asyncio`** — in `dev` extras for test execution
-- **`[tool.pytest.ini_options]`** — strict marker checking enabled from the start; markers registered upfront per pytesting skill conventions
-
-### Delete `hello.py`
-
-The placeholder file is no longer needed.
-
----
-
-## 2. `config.py` — Centralized Configuration
-
-**Satisfies:** REQ-8 (centralized config and logging at startup)
-
-### Design Decisions
-
-| Decision | Rationale |
-|----------|-----------|
-| Use `pydantic-settings` `BaseSettings` | Type-safe, validates on construction, loads from env vars and `.env` files automatically |
-| `PROVIDER` constrained to `openrouter` for MVP | Keeps configuration explicit while avoiding premature multi-provider complexity |
-| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` required | Matches official SDK docs and avoids ambiguous provider-agnostic naming |
-| `PROVIDER_MODEL` defaults to `None` | OpenRouter adapter (Step 3) supplies a sensible default when `None` |
-| `OPENROUTER_HTTP_REFERER` and `OPENROUTER_APP_TITLE` optional | Matches SDK optional app-attribution fields |
-| `DATABASE_URL` defaults to SQLite | Zero-setup local development; PostgreSQL swap is a single env-var change post-MVP |
-| `UPLOAD_DIR` and `PROMPT_DIR` as `Path` objects | Enables `.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)` and path validation at startup |
-| Logging configured via `logging.config.dictConfig` in `setup_logging()` | Centralized, explicit formatter/handler/root logger topology; called once at startup with `disable_existing_loggers=False` |
-
-### Proposed Implementation
-
-```python src/transcription/config.py
-"""Centralized application configuration.
-
-All settings are loaded from environment variables (or a .env file)
-once at startup. Provider-specific defaults (model names, base URLs)
-are resolved by the provider adapters, not here.

-def setup_logging() -> None:
-    """Configure root logging once at startup."""
-    logging.config.dictConfig(LOGGING_CONFIG)
-```
-
-### Key Behaviors
-
-- **Startup validation**: If `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is missing from the environment, `Settings()` raises a `ValidationError` immediately — the app won't start with a missing key.
-- **`.env` support**: Developers can create a `.env` file in the project root for local keys; it's never committed (already covered by the existing `.gitignore` pattern or a new entry).
-- **`extra="ignore"`**: Unknown env vars don't cause errors, keeping the config resilient to unrelated environment variables.
-- **`lru_cache`**: `get_settings()` is the single access point. All modules import and call this function rather than constructing `Settings` directly.
-- **Centralized logging**: `setup_logging()` calls `dictConfig` exactly once at startup; all modules should use `logging.getLogger(__name__)` and avoid `basicConfig`.
-
-### `.env` template (not committed — add to `.gitignore`)
-
-```bash .env.example
-PROVIDER=openrouter
-OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...
-# PROVIDER_MODEL=          # optional: OpenRouter adapter supplies default
-# OPENROUTER_HTTP_REFERER=https://example.com
-# OPENROUTER_APP_TITLE=Historical Transcription MVP
-# DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///./transcription.db
-# UPLOAD_DIR=./uploads
-# PROMPT_DIR=./prompts
-```
-
-### `.gitignore` addition
-
-```gitignore .gitignore
-# ... existing entries ...
-
-# Environment secrets

-## 3. `models.py` — SQLModel Domain Models
-
-**Satisfies:** REQ-3 (persist and expose job states), REQ-4 (persist transcription output and failure details)
-
-### Design Decisions
-
-| Decision | Rationale |
-|----------|-----------|
-| Three models: `Document`, `Job`, `Transcript` | Minimal set from MVP Feature 5. One-to-many from Document→Job and one-to-one from Job→Transcript |
-| `JobStatus` as a `StrEnum` | Readable in the database (`"queued"` not `1`), type-safe in Python, trivially serializable to JSON for the UI |
-| Status values: `queued`, `processing`, `transcribed`, `failed` | Matches MVP Feature 2 lifecycle. REQ-3 also lists `upload` and `completed` — these are deferred to post-MVP when revision/review workflows exist |
-| UUIDs for primary keys | Avoids auto-increment collision concerns if we later move to PostgreSQL; safe for distributed ID generation; `uuid4` is simple |
-| `uploaded_at`, `created_at`, `updated_at` as UTC `datetime` | Timezone-naive UTC by convention for MVP. Sufficient for single-user, single-timezone operation |
-| `Transcript.text` is nullable | A failed job creates a Transcript with `text=None` and `error_detail` populated, keeping the query model uniform |
-| Relationships via SQLModel `Relationship` | Enables `document.jobs` and `job.transcript` navigation in service code without manual joins |
-
-### Proposed Implementation

-```
-
-### Why Only Four Status Values
-
-REQ-3 lists six states: `upload`, `queued`, `processing`, `transcribed`, `failed`, `completed`. The MVP simplifies this:
-
-| REQ-3 State | MVP Treatment |
-|-------------|---------------|
-| `upload` | Implicit — the Document record exists before a Job is created. No separate job state needed. |
-| `queued` | ✅ Included — job created, waiting for worker pickup |
-| `processing` | ✅ Included — worker is actively transcribing |
-| `transcribed` | ✅ Included — AI output received and stored |
-| `failed` | ✅ Included — error captured |
-| `completed` | Deferred — implies human review/acceptance. In MVP, `transcribed` is the terminal success state. |
-
----
-
-## 4. `db.py` — Database Engine and Session Management
-
-**Satisfies:** MVP Feature 5 (SQLite auto-created on first startup)
-
-### Design Decisions
-
-| Decision | Rationale |
-|----------|-----------|
-| Module-level `create_engine` + `Session` factory | REQ-7 (lifespan-owned resources) is deferred. A module-level engine is adequate for MVP's single-process, single-user operation |
-| `create_all()` as an explicit function | Called at app startup. MVP auto-creates tables (REQ-10 deferred), but the function is isolated so it's easy to gate behind a flag later |
-| `get_session()` as a generator | Standard FastAPI/SQLModel pattern — yields a session, ensures cleanup. Compatible with `Depends()` when the API layer arrives in Step 5 |
-| `echo=False` default | Keeps logs clean. Can be toggled for debugging |
-
-### Proposed Implementation
-
-```python src/transcription/db.py
-"""Database engine, session factory, and schema bootstrap.
-
-MVP uses SQLite with auto-create-tables at startup.
-PostgreSQL migration is a post-MVP configuration change.
-"""
-import contextlib
-from collections.abc import Generator
-
-from sqlmodel import Session, SQLModel, create_engine
-
-from transcription.config import get_settings
-
-
-def _build_engine():
-    settings = get_settings()
-    connect_args = {}
-    if settings.database_url.startswith("sqlite"):
-        connect_args["check_same_thread"] = False
-    return create_engine(
-        settings.database_url,
-        echo=False,
-        connect_args=connect_args,
-    )
-
-
-engine = _build_engine()
-
-
-def create_all() -> None:
-    """Create all tables. Called once at application startup."""
-    SQLModel.metadata.create_all(engine)
-
-
-@contextlib.contextmanager
-def get_session() -> Generator[Session]:
-    """Yield a database session and ensure cleanup."""
-    with Session(engine) as session:
-        yield session
-```
-
-### SQLite-Specific Note
-
-`check_same_thread=False` is required for SQLite when the session may be accessed from different threads (e.g., a background worker on a different thread than the request handler). This setting is harmless and ignored for PostgreSQL connection strings.

-
-```python tests/conftest.py
-"""Shared test fixtures.
-
-Every test gets a fresh in-memory SQLite database so tests are
-isolated, fast, and leave no artifacts on disk.
-"""
-
-import pytest
-from sqlmodel import Session, SQLModel, create_engine
-from sqlmodel.pool import StaticPool
-
-
-@pytest.fixture
-def session():
-    """Provide a clean database session for each test."""

-    )
-    SQLModel.metadata.create_all(engine)
-    with Session(engine) as session:
-        yield session
-```
-
-`StaticPool` ensures a single in-memory SQLite connection is shared across threads, which is required when `TestClient` (Step 5) spawns threads that would otherwise get separate in-memory databases. Establishing it now keeps the fixture stable across all future steps.

-
-| Class | Method | What It Verifies |
-|------|--------|------------------|
-| `TestSettingsLoading` | `test_loads_from_env` | `Settings` constructs successfully when `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is set via env var |
-| `TestSettingsLoading` | `test_requires_api_key` | `Settings()` raises `ValidationError` when `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is missing |
-| `TestProviderSettings` | `test_defaults_to_openrouter` | Default provider is `openrouter` when not explicitly set |
-| `TestProviderSettings` | `test_rejects_invalid_value` | Setting `PROVIDER=invalid` raises `ValidationError` |
-| `TestProviderSettings` | `test_optional_fields_default_to_none` | `provider_model`, `openrouter_http_referer`, and `openrouter_app_title` are `None` when unset |
-| `TestPathSettings` | `test_path_fields_are_path_objects` | `upload_dir` and `prompt_dir` are `Path` instances |
-
-### `tests/test_models.py` — Model & Relationship Hierarchy
-
-| Class | Method | What It Verifies |
-|------|--------|------------------|
-| `TestDocumentModel` | `test_can_be_persisted` | A `Document` can be persisted and read back with correct fields |
-| `TestDocumentModel` | `test_defaults_are_populated` | `id` is auto-generated UUID, `uploaded_at` is populated |
-| `TestJobModel` | `test_can_be_created_for_document` | A `Job` linked to a `Document` via FK persists correctly |
-| `TestJobModel` | `test_defaults_are_populated` | Default status is `queued`, `created_at` and `updated_at` are populated |
-| `TestJobModel` | `test_transitions_to_transcribed` | Status can be updated from `queued` → `processing` → `transcribed` |
-| `TestJobModel` | `test_transitions_to_failed` | Status can be updated from `processing` → `failed` |
-| `TestTranscriptModel` | `test_success_record_persists` | A `Transcript` with `text` set and `error_detail=None` persists correctly |
-| `TestTranscriptModel` | `test_failure_record_persists` | A `Transcript` with `text=None` and `error_detail` set persists correctly |
-| `TestRelationships` | `test_document_exposes_jobs` | `document.jobs` returns the linked `Job` list |
-| `TestRelationships` | `test_job_exposes_transcript` | `job.transcript` returns the linked `Transcript` |
-| `TestTranscriptModel` | `test_job_id_is_unique` | Inserting two transcripts with the same `job_id` raises an integrity error |

-### `tests/test_db.py` — Database Bootstrap Hierarchy
-
-| Class | Method | What It Verifies |
-|------|--------|------------------|
-| `TestSchemaBootstrap` | `test_create_all_creates_expected_tables` | After `create_all()`, the expected tables (`document`, `job`, `transcript`) exist in the database |
-| `TestSessionFactory` | `test_get_session_yields_session` | `get_session()` yields a usable `Session` object |
-| `TestSessionFactory` | `test_session_is_closed_after_generator_exit` | After the generator is exhausted, the session is closed |
-
-### Marker Strategy (Step 1)
-
-- Markers (`unit`, `integration`, `external`) are registered upfront in `pyproject.toml` with `--strict-markers` enabled, per pytesting skill conventions.
-- All Step 1 tests are unmarked — they run in the default lane since they are fast, deterministic, and have no external dependencies.
-- When slower integration or external tests are introduced in later steps, apply explicit markers and keep test names unchanged.
-
-### Test Workflow
-
-Follow the two-phase approach from `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-scaffold` and `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-fill-scaffold`:
-
-1. **Scaffold phase**: Create test files with class hierarchy, method names, and one-line docstrings only. Validate collection:
-   - `uv run pytest --collect-only -q`
-2. **Fill phase**: Implement assertions, fixtures, and minimal test data. Treat scaffolded names and docstrings as locked. Validate execution:
-   - `uv run pytest -q`
-
-Scaffolded structure is treated as a stable baseline — do not rename, move, merge, split, or re-nest tests once the scaffold is reviewed.

-## 6. Step 1 Completion Checklist
-
-When all of the following are true, Step 1 is done and Step 2 can begin:
-
-| # | Criterion | How to Verify |
-|---|-----------|---------------|
-| 1 | `src/transcription/` package exists with `config.py`, `models.py`, `db.py` | `ls` / file inspection |
-| 2 | Empty `__init__.py` stubs exist for `providers/`, `services/`, `ui/` | `ls` / file inspection |
-| 3 | `Settings` loads from environment and validates `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is present | `test_config.py` passes |
-| 4 | `Document`, `Job`, `Transcript` models create tables in SQLite | `test_models.py` passes |
-| 5 | `JobStatus` enum has exactly four values: `queued`, `processing`, `transcribed`, `failed` | `test_models.py` passes |
-| 6 | Foreign key relationships work: Document→Job→Transcript | `test_models.py` passes |
-| 7 | `create_all()` bootstraps the schema; `get_session()` yields a working session | `test_db.py` passes |
-| 8 | All tests pass: `uv run pytest -q` | CI / local run |
-| 9 | `hello.py` is deleted | File inspection |
-| 10 | `pyproject.toml` includes `openrouter`, `sqlmodel`, `pydantic-settings`, `pytest`, `pytest-asyncio` | File inspection |
-| 10a | `pyproject.toml` has `[tool.pytest.ini_options]` with `--strict-markers` and registered markers | File inspection |
-| 11 | `.env.example` documents all config vars; `.env` is in `.gitignore` | File inspection |
-| 12 | `setup_logging()` uses `logging.config.dictConfig` with centralized formatter/handler/root config | File inspection |
-| 13 | `uv run pytest --collect-only -q` shows expected test hierarchy | Local run |
-| 14 | `uv run pytest -q` passes all tests | Local run |

-## Step 2: prompts/transcribe_document.md
-
-### Goal
-
-Implement the MVP prompt artifact system by creating a curated transcription prompt file:
-
-- `prompts/transcribe_document.md`
-
-This step primarily satisfies:
-
-- **REQ-12**: prompts stored as individual Markdown artifacts
-- MVP Feature 3: prompt-driven verbatim transcription behavior grounded in `docs/intent.md`
-
----
-
-## Scope for Step 2
-
-### In scope
-1. Create prompt artifact directory and first prompt file.
-2. Encode transcription rules from `docs/intent.md` into a model-facing prompt.
-3. Define stable prompt structure so future revisions are easy to diff/review.
-4. Add lightweight tests that validate artifact presence and baseline quality constraints.
-5. Update docs/README references so Step 3 can consume prompt file directly.
-
-### Out of scope
-- Provider integration logic (Step 3)
-- Worker/job orchestration (Step 4)
-- UI behavior (Step 5)
-
----
-
-## Proposed Deliverables
-
-1. **`prompts/transcribe_document.md`**
-   - production prompt text for historical document transcription
-
-2. **`prompts/README.md`** (recommended)
-   - conventions for prompt files, revision policy, naming
-
-3. **`tests/test_prompts.py`** (recommended)
-   - artifact existence + structure checks
-
-4. **Small docs update** (README or docs reference)
-   - indicate that prompts are file-based and loaded from `PROMPT_DIR`
-
----
-
-## Detailed Work Breakdown
-
-### 1) Create prompt artifact folder and canonical file
-- Add `prompts/` at repo root.
-- Add `transcribe_document.md` as the first curated artifact.
-- Keep filename stable; this becomes the default in Step 3 unless overridden.
-
-### 2) Author prompt content using a strict, sectioned format
-Use section headers so future diffs are clean and policy changes are isolated.
-
-Suggested sections:
-
-1. **Purpose**
-   - verbatim scholarly transcription of historical documents
-
-2. **Output requirements**
-   - plain text only
-   - no summaries, no paraphrasing
-   - preserve reading order and meaningful structure
-
-3. **Core fidelity rules**
-   - preserve original wording and punctuation
-   - don’t silently normalize grammar/spelling
-   - no invented content
-
-4. **Issue-handling rules (mapped from Intent table)**
-   - misspellings with `[sic]`
-   - missing words with `[word]`
-   - uncertainty with `[guess?]`
-   - illegible with `[illegible]` / reason tags
-   - crossed-out text as `[deleted: ...]`
-   - inserted text as `[inserted: ...]`
-   - superscripts handling guidance
-   - non-text elements as `[description]`
-   - marginalia format `[written in left margin: ...]`
-   - line-break hyphen rejoin behavior
-   - capitalization policy
-   - hierarchical outline preservation (including unusual numbering)
-
-5. **Confidence/ambiguity policy**
-   - prefer explicit uncertainty markers over hallucination
-
-6. **Final self-checklist for model**
-   - did I preserve structure?
-   - did I mark uncertain text?
-   - did I avoid silent corrections?
-
-### 3) Add prompt-library conventions (`prompts/README.md`)
-Recommended conventions:
-- one prompt per file
-- snake_case names
-- each file starts with purpose + behavior contract
-- iterative edits, one prompt per PR where possible
-- no secrets in prompt files
-
-### 4) Add tests for prompt assets (`tests/test_prompts.py`)
-Keep tests robust but not brittle.
-
-Recommended tests:
-1. `test_prompt_file_exists`
-2. `test_prompt_file_is_not_empty`
-3. `test_prompt_mentions_verbatim_behavior`
-4. `test_prompt_includes_uncertainty_and_illegible_markers`
-5. `test_prompt_includes_deleted_and_inserted_conventions`
-
-Avoid exact full-text matching; verify key semantic anchors only.
-
-### 5) Optional config alignment check
-Current config already has:
-- `prompt_dir: Path = Path("./prompts")`
-
-In Step 2, ensure docs reflect this and that Step 3 will resolve:
-- `PROMPT_DIR / "transcribe_document.md"`
-

-
-- [ ] **E2. Run full suite**
-  - `uv run pytest -q`

-
-## Done Criteria (quick gate)
-
-- [ ] Canonical prompt exists and is curated for verbatim transcription.
-- [ ] Prompt encodes all high-value handling rules from `docs/intent.md`.
-- [ ] Prompt tests pass.
-- [ ] Full project tests pass with `uv`.
-- [ ] Ready for Step 3 provider integration.
-
----
-
-## Acceptance Criteria (Definition of Done)
-
-Step 2 is complete when all are true:
-
-1. `prompts/transcribe_document.md` exists and is committed.
-2. Prompt includes all critical handling rules from `docs/intent.md`.
-3. Prompt is structured with stable section headings for future curation.
-4. Prompt tests pass under `uv run pytest -q`.
-5. Existing tests remain green (total suite still passes).
-6. Docs indicate prompt artifact location and curation policy.
-
----
-
-## Risks and Mitigations
-
-1. **Risk: prompt too vague → hallucinated reconstructions**
-   - Mitigation: explicit uncertainty/illegible conventions and “no invention” rule.
-
-2. **Risk: prompt too rigid for mixed document types**
-   - Mitigation: include neutral defaults + clear annotation formats.
-
-3. **Risk: brittle tests block iterative prompt tuning**
-   - Mitigation: test semantic anchors, not exact wording.
-
----
-
-## Handoff to Step 3
-
-After Step 2, Step 3 can immediately:
-1. Load `transcribe_document.md` from `PROMPT_DIR`
-2. Inject prompt into OpenRouter request
-3. Start validating real transcription behavior with minimal glue code

-## Step 3: services/transcription.py + providers/ 
-
-### Objective
-
-Implement the **AI transcription integration layer** so the app can:
-
-1. Read the curated prompt from `PROMPT_DIR`
-2. Send prompt + image to the configured provider (OpenRouter)
-3. Return normalized transcription output (or structured failure)
-
-This corresponds to MVP Step 3 from `docs/mvp.md`:
-- `services/transcription.py`
-- `providers/` adapter(s)
-
----
-
-## Scope for Step 3
-
-### In scope
-- Provider abstraction and OpenRouter adapter
-- Prompt file loading utility in service layer
-- Image payload preparation
-- One high-level transcription service function usable by Step 4 worker
-- Unit tests (mocked provider SDK, no external calls)
-
-### Out of scope
-- Job polling/background loop (Step 4)
-- DB status transition orchestration in worker loop (Step 4)
-- UI invocation/wiring (Step 5)
-
----
-
-## Planned Deliverables
-
-### Source files
-- `src/transcription/providers/base.py`
-- `src/transcription/providers/openrouter.py`
-- `src/transcription/providers/__init__.py` (exports + factory)
-- `src/transcription/services/transcription.py`
-- `src/transcription/services/__init__.py` (optional export)
-
-### Tests
-- `tests/providers/test_openrouter.py`
-- `tests/services/test_transcription.py`
-
-### Test directory convention
-- Mirror source domains under `tests/`.
-- Provider adapter tests live under `tests/providers/`.
-- Service-layer tests live under `tests/services/`.
-- Prefer one focused test module per production module (for Step 3: `test_openrouter.py`, `test_transcription.py`).
-
----
-
-## Design Decisions (before coding)
-
-1. **Provider interface first**
-   - Define a stable contract independent of SDK specifics.
-   - Prevent Step 4 from depending on raw SDK response shapes.
-
-2. **Service returns normalized result object**
-   - Include: `text`, `provider`, `model`, `raw_error`/exception metadata.
-   - Worker can map this cleanly to `Transcript` and `JobStatus`.
-
-3. **Prompt loaded from file at call time**
-   - Uses `get_settings().prompt_dir / "transcribe_document.md"`.
-   - Keeps prompt edits hot-swappable without code changes.
-
-4. **Clear exception boundary**
-   - SDK/network/model failures become predictable domain exceptions:
-     - `ProviderError`
-     - `PromptLoadError`
-     - `TranscriptionError` (optional top-level wrapper)
-
-5. **Model resolution policy**
-   - Use `settings.provider_model` if set
-   - Otherwise use adapter default constant (e.g., vision-capable model slug)
-
----
-
-## Task-by-Task Execution Checklist
-
-## Phase A — Provider contract
-
-- [ ] Create `src/transcription/providers/base.py`
-- [ ] Define protocol/ABC for transcription providers:
-  - [ ] method signature accepts prompt text + image bytes (or data URL) + mime type
-  - [ ] returns normalized text result (and optional metadata)
-- [ ] Define shared provider exceptions:
-  - [ ] `ProviderError`
-  - [ ] optional subclasses (`ProviderAuthError`, `ProviderResponseError`)
-
----
-
-## Phase B — OpenRouter adapter
-
-- [ ] Create `src/transcription/providers/openrouter.py`
-- [ ] Implement `OpenRouterTranscriptionProvider` with:
-  - [ ] config-driven API key usage
-  - [ ] optional referer/title attribution headers
-  - [ ] model resolution fallback when `provider_model` is unset
-- [ ] Implement request building:
-  - [ ] prompt included as instruction content
-  - [ ] image included in supported format for vision call
-- [ ] Implement response parsing:
-  - [ ] extract final transcript text from SDK response
-  - [ ] validate non-empty text
-- [ ] Wrap SDK failures into `ProviderError` with clean message
-
----
-
-## Phase C — Provider factory
-
-- [ ] Update `src/transcription/providers/__init__.py`
-- [ ] Add `get_transcription_provider()` factory:
-  - [ ] reads `settings.provider`
-  - [ ] returns OpenRouter adapter for `openrouter`
-  - [ ] raises explicit error for unsupported provider values
-
----
-
-## Phase D — Transcription service (Step 3 core)
-
-- [ ] Create `src/transcription/services/transcription.py`
-- [ ] Add prompt loader function:
-  - [ ] default file: `transcribe_document.md`
-  - [ ] raises `PromptLoadError` on missing/empty file
-- [ ] Add image loader/validator:
-  - [ ] path existence check
-  - [ ] allowed mime detection (`.jpg/.jpeg/.png/.tiff/.pdf` policy aligned to MVP)
-- [ ] Add high-level function (name example):
-  - [ ] `transcribe_document_image(image_path, prompt_name="transcribe_document.md")`
-  - [ ] loads prompt + image
-  - [ ] calls provider from factory
-  - [ ] returns normalized transcription result object
-- [ ] Add structured logging at key boundaries:
-  - [ ] prompt loaded
-  - [ ] provider invoked
-  - [ ] success/failure outcome (no sensitive data in logs)
-
----
-
-## Phase E — Tests (two-phase scaffold -> fill)
-
-### Required execution resources
-
-Load and reference these directly during test planning/implementation so the two-phase flow is enforced:
-
-- [ ] `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-scaffold`
-- [ ] `resource://prompts/pytest-scaffold/document`
-- [ ] `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-fill-scaffold`
-- [ ] `resource://prompts/pytest-fill-scaffold/document`
-
-### Phase E1 — Scaffold test structure first
-
-Prompt: `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-scaffold`
-
-Suggested arguments:
-- [ ] `target_modules` = `src/transcription/providers/openrouter.py`, `src/transcription/services/transcription.py`
-- [ ] `mode` = `scaffold`
-- [ ] `path_strategy` = `src-to-tests-mirror`
-- [ ] `naming_style` = `concise-behavior`
-
-Expected scaffold outcomes:
-- [ ] `tests/providers/test_openrouter.py` exists with class/method skeletons and one-line docstrings
-- [ ] `tests/services/test_transcription.py` exists with class/method skeletons and one-line docstrings
-- [ ] collection succeeds on scaffold-only tests
-
-Scaffold coverage targets:
-- [ ] adapter initializes from settings
-- [ ] model fallback when `provider_model is None`
-- [ ] referer/title options included when set
-- [ ] successful SDK response parses transcript text
-- [ ] SDK exception maps to `ProviderError`
-- [ ] empty/invalid response maps to `ProviderError`
-- [ ] prompt loader reads canonical prompt file
-- [ ] missing prompt raises `PromptLoadError`
-- [ ] transcription function loads file and calls provider once
-- [ ] image path missing raises clear error
-- [ ] provider error is propagated/wrapped predictably
-- [ ] returned result includes transcript text and metadata
-
-### Phase E2 — Fill scaffolded tests with assertions
-
-Prompt: `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-fill-scaffold`
-
-Suggested arguments:
-- [ ] `target_files` = `tests/providers/test_openrouter.py`, `tests/services/test_transcription.py`
-- [ ] `stack` = `pure-python`
-- [ ] `strategy` = `minimal`
-- [ ] `marker_lane` = `unit`
-
-Fill constraints:
-- [ ] preserve scaffold class/method names and one-line docstrings
-- [ ] keep mocks to an absolute minimum; mock only network boundaries and non-deterministic failures
-- [ ] keep one behavior target per test method
-
-> Default suite should remain deterministic and fast, but mocking should be minimal and intentional.
-
-### Optional real-endpoint validation lane
-
-- [ ] Add an opt-in integration lane for real provider calls (for example `@pytest.mark.integration` and `@pytest.mark.live_api`).
-- [ ] Gate live tests behind explicit env vars (for example `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, optional `RUN_LIVE_API_TESTS=1`).
-- [ ] Exclude live tests from default CI/local runs unless explicitly requested.
-- [ ] Keep at least one thin smoke path that can validate request/response compatibility against the real endpoint.
-
----
-
-## Phase F — Verification commands
-
-- [ ] E1 scaffold validation: `uv run pytest --collect-only -q`
-- [ ] E2 fill validation (unit lane): `uv run pytest -m unit -q`
-- [ ] E2 targeted provider file: `uv run pytest tests/providers/test_openrouter.py -q`
-- [ ] E2 targeted service file: `uv run pytest tests/services/test_transcription.py -q`
-- [ ] E2 final full-suite check: `uv run pytest -q`
-
----
-
-## Implementation Notes / Guardrails
-
-- Avoid coupling Step 3 service to DB models directly (that belongs in Step 4 orchestration).
-- Do not silently swallow provider errors.
-- Keep prompt filename stable (`transcribe_document.md`) unless explicitly parameterized.
-- Keep request/response normalization inside provider adapter, not worker/UI layers.
-
----
-
-## Definition of Done (Step 3)
-
-Step 3 is done when:
-
-1. Provider abstraction exists and OpenRouter adapter is implemented.
-2. Service can transcribe a local image using prompt file content.
-3. Failures are returned as structured exceptions, not raw SDK traceback noise.
-4. Unit tests for provider and service pass.
-5. Full suite remains green under `uv run pytest -q`.
-6. Step 4 can call a single service function to process queued jobs.

-## Step 4: `services/upload.py` + `worker.py`
-
-### Objective
-
-Implement the MVP upload and background-processing pipeline so the system can:
-
-1. Save uploaded files into `UPLOAD_DIR`
-2. Create `Document` + `Job(status="queued")`
-3. Process queued jobs in a worker loop:
-   - `queued -> processing`
-   - call Step 3 transcription service
-   - persist `Transcript`
-   - finalize as `transcribed` or `failed`
-
-This step advances MVP Feature 1 + Feature 2 and supports REQ-1, REQ-2, REQ-3, REQ-4, REQ-6.
-
----
-
-## Scope
-
-### In scope
-- `src/transcription/services/upload.py`
-- `src/transcription/worker.py`
-- Upload persistence logic and initial job creation
-- Worker polling and single-job lifecycle execution
-- Deterministic test coverage for upload + worker (default suite)
-
-### Out of scope
-- UI integration and pages (Step 5)
-- Queue infrastructure beyond in-process loop
-- Async DB/session architecture refactor
-- Broad production hardening beyond MVP needs
-
----
-
-## Planned Deliverables
-
-### Source files
-- `src/transcription/services/upload.py`
-- `src/transcription/worker.py`
-- `src/transcription/services/__init__.py` (export updates as needed)
-
-### Test files
-- `tests/services/test_upload.py`
-- `tests/services/test_worker.py`
-
-### Optional external lane (already present pattern)
-- reuse `external` marker for live-provider checks where appropriate
-- keep external out of default lane
-
----
-
-## Required MCP Prompt References (for test workflow)
-
-Apply these resources directly during Step 4 test creation:
-
-1. `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-scaffold`
-2. `resource://prompts/pytest-scaffold/document`
-3. `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-fill-scaffold`
-4. `resource://prompts/pytest-fill-scaffold/document`
-
-And (as referenced by those prompts) apply relevant pytest skill references for:
-- naming/hierarchy
-- marker defaults
-- SQLAlchemy sync testing behavior where applicable
-
----
-
-## Design Decisions
-
-1. **Upload service owns initial file + record creation**
-   - Writes file, creates `Document`, creates queued `Job`, returns IDs/path.
-
-2. **Worker owns lifecycle transitions**
-   - Worker is the single owner of `queued -> processing -> terminal` job state changes.
-
-3. **Worker uses Step 3 service boundary**
-   - Worker calls `transcribe_document_image(...)`; no provider-specific SDK logic in worker.
-
-4. **Failure information is always persisted**
-   - On failure: store `Transcript(text=None, error_detail=...)` and set `Job.status=failed`.
-
-5. **Loop remains simple and stoppable**
-   - In-process polling loop with stop event and poll interval for MVP simplicity and testability.
-
----
-
-## Task-by-Task Execution Checklist
-
-## Phase A — Implement upload service (`src/transcription/services/upload.py`)
-
-- [ ] Create `UploadError` exception
-- [ ] Create `UploadJobResult` dataclass with:
-  - [ ] `document_id`
-  - [ ] `job_id`
-  - [ ] `stored_path`
-  - [ ] `original_filename`
-- [ ] Add filename safety handling:
-  - [ ] normalize to basename
-  - [ ] avoid path traversal
-  - [ ] collision-safe stored name (e.g., UUID prefix/suffix)
-- [ ] Validate upload payload:
-  - [ ] non-empty bytes required
-  - [ ] extension in supported set (`.jpg/.jpeg/.png/.tif/.tiff/.pdf`)
-- [ ] Ensure upload directory exists (`mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)`)
-- [ ] Write file bytes to `UPLOAD_DIR`
-- [ ] Persist DB records in one transaction:
-  - [ ] `Document(filename, file_path)`
-  - [ ] `Job(document_id=..., status=queued)`
-- [ ] Return `UploadJobResult`
-- [ ] Add logging for success/failure boundaries
-
----
-
-## Phase B — Implement worker core (`src/transcription/worker.py`)
-
-- [ ] Add `process_next_queued_job(...) -> bool`
-- [ ] Fetch oldest queued job
-- [ ] Return `False` when no queued jobs exist
-- [ ] Transition picked job to `processing` and update timestamp
-- [ ] Resolve associated `Document.file_path`
-- [ ] Call `transcribe_document_image(image_path=...)`
-- [ ] On success:
-  - [ ] insert/update transcript text
-  - [ ] clear error detail
-  - [ ] mark job `transcribed`
-  - [ ] update timestamp
-- [ ] On failure:
-  - [ ] insert/update transcript with `text=None`, `error_detail=...`
-  - [ ] mark job `failed`
-  - [ ] update timestamp
-- [ ] Commit terminal state and return `True`
-- [ ] Add logs around job pickup, transition, and terminal outcome
-
----
-
-## Phase C — Implement worker loop (`src/transcription/worker.py`)
-
-- [ ] Add `run_worker_loop(...)`
-- [ ] Accept configurable stop event/signal
-- [ ] Accept configurable poll interval
-- [ ] Repeatedly call `process_next_queued_job`
-- [ ] Sleep only when queue is empty
-- [ ] Exit cleanly when stop event is set
-
----
-
-## Phase D — Exports
-
-- [ ] Update `src/transcription/services/__init__.py` to expose upload APIs
-- [ ] Keep existing transcription exports intact
-
----
-
-## Phase E — Tests via MCP scaffold -> fill flow
-
-## E1 Scaffold (structure only)
-
-Use scaffold prompt workflow first for:
-- `src/transcription/services/upload.py`
-- `src/transcription/worker.py`
-
-Expected scaffold targets:
-- `tests/services/test_upload.py`
-- `tests/services/test_worker.py`
-
-Scaffold rules:
-- [ ] Class hierarchy + method names + one-line docstrings only
-- [ ] No assertions or implementation details in scaffold phase
-- [ ] Keep method names concise and behavior-focused
-
-Validation:
-- [ ] `uv run pytest --collect-only -q`
-
-## E2 Fill scaffold (implementation)
-
-Use fill prompt workflow for:
-- `tests/services/test_upload.py`
-- `tests/services/test_worker.py`
-- stack: `sqlalchemy-sync` (or `mixed` if combining pure + DB behaviors)
-- marker lane preference: `unit` and `integration` as appropriate
-- strategy: minimal deterministic implementation
-
-Fill rules (invariants):
-- [ ] Preserve scaffold class names, method names, and one-line docstrings
-- [ ] Do not rename/re-nest scaffolded tests unless explicitly approved
-- [ ] One behavior target per test
-- [ ] Minimal mocking; mock only network/nondeterministic boundaries
-
-Suggested test coverage:
-
-### `tests/services/test_upload.py`
-- [ ] creates file + document + queued job (`integration`)
-- [ ] rejects empty bytes (`unit`)
-- [ ] rejects unsupported extension (`unit`)
-- [ ] writes collision-safe unique filename (`integration`)
-- [ ] persisted job status is `queued` (`integration`)
-
-### `tests/services/test_worker.py`
-- [ ] returns `False` when queue empty (`integration`)
-- [ ] transitions `queued -> processing -> transcribed` on success (`integration`)
-- [ ] stores transcript text on success (`integration`)
-- [ ] transitions to `failed` and stores `error_detail` on failure (`integration`)
-- [ ] updates existing transcript instead of duplicate create (`integration`)
-- [ ] worker loop exits when stop event set (`unit`)
-
----
-
-## Marker Strategy
-
-- `unit`: pure logic tests (filename handling, loop stop behavior, validation logic)
-- `integration`: DB + service orchestration tests (SQLite/session/contracts)
-- `external`: opt-in live provider tests only (not part of default Step 4 lane)
-
-No new marker needed; reuse existing marker registration.
-
----
-
-## Validation Sequence (strict order)
-
-- [ ] `uv run pytest --collect-only -q`
-- [ ] `uv run pytest -m unit -q` *(if unit tests touched)*
-- [ ] `uv run pytest tests/services/test_upload.py -q`
-- [ ] `uv run pytest tests/services/test_worker.py -q`
-- [ ] `uv run pytest -q`
-
----
-
-## Reporting Requirements (after implementation)
-
-Implementation report must include:
-
-1. Files created/updated
-2. Fixture and marker decisions
-3. MCP references used and why
-4. Validation command results
-5. Remaining risks/open questions (only blockers)
-
----
-
-## Guardrails
-
-- Keep Step 4 independent from UI concerns.
-- Do not call provider SDK directly from worker.
-- Do not silently swallow exceptions.
-- Always persist terminal job outcome.
-- Keep default suite deterministic and fast.
-- Preserve scaffold invariants during fill phase.
-
----
-
-## Definition of Done (Step 4)
-
-Step 4 is complete when:
-
-- [ ] Upload service writes file and creates `Document` + queued `Job`
-- [ ] Worker processes queued jobs end-to-end using Step 3 transcription service
-- [ ] Success path persists transcript text and sets `transcribed`
-- [ ] Failure path persists error detail and sets `failed`
-- [ ] Queue-empty path returns cleanly
-- [ ] New tests pass and full suite is green (`uv run pytest -q`)
-- [ ] Output report includes MCP reference usage + validation evidence

-## Step 5: `app.py` + UI Pages (NiceGUI + FastAPI composition)
-
-## Objective
-
-Implement the MVP user-facing application layer so users can:
-
-1. Upload a document from the UI
-2. Trigger Step 4 upload/job creation flow
-3. See live job lifecycle status (`queued`, `processing`, `transcribed`, `failed`)
-4. Open a job detail view to read transcript text or failure details
-
-This step composes Steps 1–4 into a usable UI.
-
----
-
-## Architecture Summary (NiceGUI-aligned)
-
-Step 5 uses a **FastAPI app factory + lifespan orchestration** and mounts/registers NiceGUI pages via explicit page modules.
-
-Reference baseline: `resource://skills/nicegui/document`
-
-### Core architecture decisions
-
-- **App factory:** `create_app()`
-- **Lifespan-managed resources:** worker start/stop managed in startup/shutdown
-- **Modular pages:** upload and jobs pages in separate modules (no monolithic UI file)
-- **Health endpoint:** FastAPI-side `/healthz`
-- **UI composition:** route pages stay modular and reusable shared shell/components live under `ui/components` as needed
-- **Styling architecture:** shared CSS loaded once at startup; avoid ad-hoc per-page styling drift
-- **Dependency direction (one-way):**
-  - `app` -> `config/logging/db/worker/ui/api`
-  - `ui/pages` -> `ui/components` + `services`
-  - `services` -> `db/models/providers`
-  - no reverse imports from services into UI/API
-
-### DB and AI stance (explicit)
-
-- **DB:** already enabled (SQLModel + SQLite), session lifecycle remains request/service-scoped as built in prior steps.
-- **AI workflow:** already in place via Step 3 transcription service + Step 4 worker; UI does not call provider SDK directly.
-- **Mounted docs:** not in Step 5 scope; docs mounting remains disabled for MVP.
-
-### Async and responsiveness stance
-
-- Prefer `async def` for page handlers and service boundaries when I/O is involved.
-- Keep UI handlers non-blocking (no blocking sleeps or synchronous long I/O calls).
-- For long-running user actions, always provide explicit loading/progress/error states.
-- Keep cancellation/timeout behavior explicit for refresh/poll operations where applicable.
-
----
-
-## Scope
-
-### In scope
-- `src/transcription/app.py`
-- `src/transcription/ui/upload_page.py`
-- `src/transcription/ui/jobs_page.py`
-- `src/transcription/ui/__init__.py`
-- `src/transcription/api/health.py` (or equivalent FastAPI health route module)
-- UI/app tests with MCP scaffold->fill flow
-
-### Out of scope

-- advanced filtering/search UX
-- batch upload UX beyond MVP
-- deployment/container hardening

-## Implementation Plan + Checklist
-
-Plan baseline and guardrails source: `resource://skills/nicegui/document`
-
-## Phase A — App factory and lifespan orchestration
-
-- [ ] Create `create_app()` in `src/transcription/app.py`
-- [ ] Add FastAPI lifespan startup/shutdown handlers
-- [ ] Startup responsibilities:
-  - [ ] `setup_logging()`
-  - [ ] `create_all()`
-  - [ ] ensure directories exist (`upload_dir`, `prompt_dir`)
-  - [ ] create worker stop event
-  - [ ] start worker background thread/task
-- [ ] Shutdown responsibilities:
-  - [ ] signal stop event
-  - [ ] join/cleanup worker thread/task cleanly
-- [ ] Register API router(s), including health route
-- [ ] Register NiceGUI pages via explicit page registration function
-- [ ] Load shared CSS once at startup (if present)
-
-## Phase B — FastAPI health endpoint
-
-- [ ] Create `src/transcription/api/health.py`
-- [ ] Add `GET /healthz` returning simple healthy payload
-- [ ] Wire route into app factory
-
-## Phase C — Upload page (`ui/upload_page.py`)
-
-- [ ] Add upload route/page registration function
-- [ ] Render file input accepting supported extensions
-- [ ] On submit:
-  - [ ] show loading/progress state
-  - [ ] call `create_upload_job(filename, file_bytes, ...)`
-  - [ ] show success state with job reference/link
-- [ ] On error:
-  - [ ] show user-safe error message
-  - [ ] restore ready UI state
-- [ ] Ensure non-blocking I/O in UI event handlers; offload CPU-heavy work to worker path
-- [ ] Make timeout/cancellation behavior explicit for any long-running action
-
-## Phase D — Jobs page (`ui/jobs_page.py`)
-
-- [ ] Add jobs list route/page registration function
-- [ ] Display jobs with status + timestamps
-- [ ] Add job detail route/view
-- [ ] Show transcript on success, error detail on failure
-- [ ] Include explicit refresh action and loading state
-- [ ] Ensure error states are surfaced to user and logged
-- [ ] Keep refresh path async and bounded to avoid UI freeze
-
-## Phase E — UI registration module
-
-- [ ] Update `src/transcription/ui/__init__.py`
-- [ ] Export `register_pages(...)`
-- [ ] Ensure each page module exports `register_page(...)`
-- [ ] Keep page registration explicit and modular
-
-## Phase F — Shared components and style consistency
-
-- [ ] Add `ui/components` module only for reusable shell elements (header/nav/status chips), not page-local logic
-- [ ] Keep structural layout in Python; keep visual polish in shared CSS
-- [ ] Avoid one-off styling duplication across upload/jobs pages
-
----

-## MCP Testing Workflow (Required)
-
-Use these resources directly:
-
-- `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-scaffold`
-- `resource://prompts/pytest-scaffold/document`
-- `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-fill-scaffold`
-- `resource://prompts/pytest-fill-scaffold/document`

-- `tests/ui/test_jobs_page.py`
-
-Scaffold constraints:
-- [ ] class/method skeletons only
-- [ ] one-line docstrings
-- [ ] concise behavior-focused names
-- [ ] no implementation assertions yet
-
-Validation:

-
-## E2 — Fill scaffold tests
-
-Fill constraints from MCP guidance:
-- [ ] preserve scaffold class/method names and docstrings (locked baseline)
-- [ ] one behavior target per method
-- [ ] deterministic tests preferred
-- [ ] minimal mocking; only nondeterministic boundaries
-
-Stack:
-- [ ] `fastapi` (or `mixed` if needed for UI+DB fixture combination)
-
-Suggested coverage:
-
-### `tests/api/test_health.py`
-- [ ] `/healthz` returns success status and expected payload shape
-
-### `tests/ui/test_pages_registration.py`
-- [ ] page registration wiring succeeds
-- [ ] expected routes are present
-
-### `tests/test_app.py`
-- [ ] startup path initializes runtime dependencies
-- [ ] worker start is invoked on startup
-- [ ] worker shutdown signal/cleanup is invoked on shutdown
-
-### `tests/ui/test_upload_page.py`
-- [ ] upload action calls upload service
-- [ ] success feedback displayed
-- [ ] error feedback displayed for `UploadError`
-- [ ] loading/progress state behavior covered
-- [ ] timeout/cancellation behavior covered (if implemented)
-
-### `tests/ui/test_jobs_page.py`
-- [ ] list renders job statuses
-- [ ] detail shows transcript text for successful job
-- [ ] detail shows error detail for failed job
-- [ ] refresh/loading state behavior covered
-
-Marker strategy:
-- [ ] `unit` for pure helpers/state formatting
-- [ ] `integration` for app/page/service+DB contracts
-- [ ] `external` not required for default Step 5 lane
-
-Async behavior assertions:
-- [ ] long-running actions keep button/inputs in expected disabled state
-- [ ] completion/failure returns controls to ready state

-Step 6 implemented ✅
-
-### Files added
-- `tests/integration/test_pipeline_flow.py`
-- `tests/test_traceability.py`
-
-### What was implemented
-
-#### 1) End-to-end pipeline integration coverage
-`tests/integration/test_pipeline_flow.py` now verifies:
-
-- **Success path**
-  - upload creates queued job
-  - worker processes job
-  - job becomes `transcribed`
-  - transcript text is persisted
-  - error detail remains `None`
-
-- **Failure path**
-  - upload creates queued job
-  - worker processing failure is handled
-  - job becomes `failed`
-  - transcript has `text=None`
-  - `error_detail` contains provider failure reason
-
-#### 2) MVP requirement traceability check
-`tests/test_traceability.py` adds a concrete map:
-
-- REQ-0, REQ-1, REQ-2, REQ-3, REQ-4, REQ-5, REQ-6, REQ-8, REQ-12
-- each REQ maps to one or more existing test files
-- test asserts each mapped path exists (guards against drift)

-## MCP Resource Integration (what was applied)
-
-I reviewed all top-level skills/prompts from `john-stream-mcp` and integrated the relevant guidance into this plan:
-
-### Directly applied
-- `resource://skills/pytesting/document`
-- `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-scaffold`
-- `resource://prompts/pytest-scaffold/document`
-- `resource://catalog/prompts/pytest-fill-scaffold`

-### Reviewed but informational/non-blocking for Step 6
-- `copilot-customization`, `mcp-details`, `vscode-configuration`, `zensical-docs`, and authoring/shim prompts.
-  - These are primarily customization/documentation tooling resources, not core MVP test-lane blockers.
-  - Step 6 includes optional workflow follow-ups where relevant (e.g., VS Code task conveniences).
-
----
-
-## Scope
-
-### In scope
-- Strengthen and complete test coverage for the shipped MVP slice (Steps 1–5)
-- Add requirement-to-test traceability for REQ-0..REQ-12 (MVP subset emphasized)
-- Enforce deterministic default lanes (`unit`, `integration`)
-- Keep `external` lane opt-in and isolated
-- Validate app/UI/service/worker contracts end-to-end at test level
-
-### Out of scope
-- Major architecture rewrites (async SQLAlchemy migration, queue system, etc.)
-- Full production deployment rollout
-- Post-MVP feature expansion (revision history, search, export)
-
----
-
-## Planned Deliverables
-
-### Test files (new/updated)
-- `tests/test_traceability.py` *(or docs-based traceability matrix if preferred)*
-- `tests/integration/test_pipeline_flow.py` *(upload -> queued -> worker -> transcript/failed)*
-- `tests/ui/test_upload_page.py` (augment loading/error/ready-state checks as practical)
-- `tests/ui/test_jobs_page.py` (augment refresh/error behavior checks as practical)
-- Existing tests touched only when needed; preserve naming/hierarchy unless explicitly approved.
-
-### Optional docs output
-- `docs/tests.md` or `docs/verification.md` with lane definitions and command matrix
-- REQ-to-test mapping table
-
----
-
-## Design and Policy Decisions (MCP-aligned)
-
-1. **Scaffold-first, fill-second workflow is mandatory**
-   - First create/adjust skeletons and collect.
-   - Then fill test bodies.
-   - Preserve scaffold names/docstrings during fill.
-
-2. **Deterministic-first default lanes**
-   - `unit` and `integration` run by default.
-   - `external` remains explicit opt-in.
-
-3. **One behavior target per test**
-   - Short, behavior-focused names.
-   - Precise assertions on observable outcomes.
-
-4. **Test double discipline (from pytesting skill)**
-   - Prefer real-input/real-object paths first.
-   - If monkeypatch/mocks/fakes are needed for a boundary, keep narrowly scoped.
-   - Avoid call-only assertions.
-
-5. **NiceGUI responsiveness expectations**
-   - Verify loading/success/error state transitions where testable.
-   - Ensure user-facing feedback behavior is covered.
-
-6. **FastAPI/ops baseline checks**
-   - Keep `/healthz` route validation in default lanes.
-   - Keep startup/shutdown lifecycle assertions present.

-
-## Implementation Plan + Checklist
-
-## Phase A — Coverage and traceability audit
-
-- [ ] Build a REQ-to-test matrix for MVP requirements:
-  - [ ] REQ-0, REQ-1, REQ-2, REQ-3, REQ-4, REQ-5, REQ-6, REQ-8, REQ-12
-- [ ] Identify weak spots:
-  - [ ] full pipeline integration (service + worker + persistence)
-  - [ ] UI state transition assertions (loading/error/ready)
-  - [ ] failure-path persistence verification robustness
-- [ ] Record current baseline command results before edits
-
-## Phase B — Scaffold phase (pytest-scaffold resources)
-
-Target modules/areas:
-- pipeline integration flow
-- UI behavior augmentations
-- traceability checks/document validators (if test-backed)
-
-- [ ] Scaffold new/adjusted test files/classes/methods only
-- [ ] Keep one-line intent docstrings
-- [ ] Keep behavior-focused names
-- [ ] Run: `uv run pytest --collect-only -q`
-
-## Phase C — Fill phase (pytest-fill-scaffold resources)
-
-- [ ] Fill scaffolded methods with deterministic setup/assertions
-- [ ] Preserve scaffold names/hierarchy/docstrings
-- [ ] Add/adjust fixtures at nearest useful scope
-- [ ] Keep DB tests in `integration`; pure helper tests in `unit`
-
-### Required coverage additions
-
-#### Pipeline integration
-- [ ] Upload service creates document/job and file path persists
-- [ ] Worker success path creates transcript and terminal status
-- [ ] Worker failure path persists error detail and terminal failed status
-- [ ] Queue-empty behavior remains stable (`False` return / no side effects)
-
-#### UI behavior (practical, testable boundaries)
-- [ ] Upload helper flow success and UploadError surfacing
-- [ ] Jobs data helpers return stable normalized view models
-- [ ] Refresh/detail fallback behavior for missing/invalid job IDs
-
-#### Traceability

-## Phase D — External lane stability
-
-- [ ] Keep real-image external tests isolated under `@pytest.mark.external`
-- [ ] Ensure no external test leaks into default runs
-- [ ] Confirm artifact capture behavior remains stable
-
-## Phase E — Quality gates and workflow
-
-- [ ] Confirm logging/lifecycle startup tests still pass after changes

-## Marker and Fixture Strategy
-
-- `unit`: pure logic, helper behavior, formatting/normalization
-- `integration`: DB + service + app lifecycle contracts
-- `external`: live provider/real image checks only
-
-Fixture policy:
-- Prefer reusable fixtures in `tests/conftest.py` only when broadly shared
-- Use subtree/local fixtures for domain-specific setup
-- Keep setup explicit and readable

-## Guardrails
-
-- Do not rename/re-nest scaffolded tests during fill unless explicitly requested.

-## Implementation Notes by Phase
-
-### Phase A/B (Foundation)
-- Added `ErrorCategory` enum and `AppError` base type in `src/transcription/errors.py`.
-- Added helper utilities:
-  - `new_error_id()`
-  - `build_error_envelope(...)`
-  - `classify_unexpected_error(...)`
-  - `format_error_detail(...)`
-
-### Phase C (Service/Provider normalization)
-- `UploadError` now extends `AppError` and includes category/suggestion/retriable metadata.
-- `PromptLoadError` and `TranscriptionError` now extend `AppError`.
-- Provider failures are mapped with deterministic category semantics (auth/payload/provider-failure cases).
-
-### Phase D (UI visibility)
-- Added `src/transcription/ui/error_presenter.py`.
-- Upload and jobs pages now use centralized UI error rendering and summary helpers.
-- UI error paths now include more visible/actionable guidance and reference IDs.
-
-### Phase E (Worker failure handling)
-- Worker now normalizes exception handling into structured persisted `error_detail` strings with:
-  - category marker
-  - suggestion marker
-  - error_id marker
-- Logging now includes category/error_id context in failure paths.
-
-### Phase F (API envelope)
-- Added `src/transcription/api/errors.py` and registered handlers in app factory.
-- AppError and unexpected exceptions now serialize to stable API envelopes with mapped status codes.

-## Policy Alignment Check (`docs/error_handling.md`)
-
-Aligned items:
-- Stable taxonomy categories are implemented.
-- Unexpected errors are normalized.
-- User-facing UI paths include actionable guidance and references.
-- Worker persistence includes trace-friendly failure detail.
-- API error responses are structured and category-aware.
-
-Follow-up candidates:
-- Add richer UI tests that validate rendered suggested-action content end-to-end (current tests focus helper/service contracts).
-- Consider typed storage fields for error metadata instead of packed `error_detail` strings in a future schema revision.
-

-## Step 7: Error Handling Standardization and Operational Visibility
-
-## Objective
-
-Apply the canonical error policy from `docs/error_handling.md` to the MVP implementation so failures are:
-
-- consistently classified
-- visibly surfaced in the GUI
-- paired with suggested corrective actions
-- traceable through logs via error reference IDs
-- validated through deterministic tests after each phase
-
-This step extends MVP hardening by converting current ad hoc exception behavior into a stable cross-layer contract.
-
----
-
-## Scope
-
-### In scope
-- Introduce a shared application error contract and taxonomy implementation
-- Normalize service/provider exceptions into taxonomy categories
-- Improve GUI error visibility and suggested-action UX
-- Standardize worker failure persistence and logging context
-- Add API error-envelope policy hooks for current/future endpoints
-- Add targeted tests and phase-level/full-suite validation gates
-
-### Out of scope
-- Major architecture rewrites (distributed queue, multi-service decomposition)
-- Post-MVP feature expansion unrelated to error handling
-- Full observability platform rollout (tracing backends, APM)
-
----
-
-## Policy Source of Truth
-
-- Canonical policy document: `docs/error_handling.md`
-- If implementation and policy diverge, policy is authoritative and code/tests must be updated.
-
----
-
-## Planned Deliverables
-
-### Runtime code
-- `src/transcription/errors.py` *(new shared contract module)*
-- `src/transcription/ui/error_presenter.py` *(new UI error rendering helper)*
-- Updates to:
-  - `src/transcription/services/upload.py`
-  - `src/transcription/services/transcription.py`
-  - `src/transcription/providers/openrouter.py`
-  - `src/transcription/worker.py`
-  - `src/transcription/ui/upload_page.py`
-  - `src/transcription/ui/jobs_page.py`
-  - `src/transcription/api/*` *(as needed for envelope/handlers)*
-
-### Tests
-- `tests/test_errors.py` *(new shared error contract tests)*
-- updates/additions in:
-  - `tests/services/test_upload.py`
-  - `tests/services/test_transcription.py` *(add if missing)*
-  - `tests/providers/test_openrouter.py`
-  - `tests/services/test_worker.py`
-  - `tests/ui/test_upload_page.py`
-  - `tests/ui/test_jobs_page.py`
-  - `tests/api/test_error_responses.py` *(new, if API handlers added)*
-
-### Documentation
-- Update `docs/error_handling.md` only if implementation reveals policy gaps
-- Capture validation evidence in a Step 7 results artifact (`docs/step7-results.md`)
-
----
-
-## Design and Policy Decisions
-
-1. **Stable taxonomy contract**
-   - Use policy categories as stable identifiers (`validation_error`, `user_input_error`, etc.).
-
-2. **Actionable UX is mandatory**
-   - User-visible errors must include a suggested course of action.
-
-3. **Traceability by default**
-   - Non-trivial errors include an `error_id` in both logs and user-facing output.
-
-4. **Safe surface / rich logs**
-   - UI/API show safe summaries; logs retain diagnostic detail and traceback.
-
-5. **Deterministic verification cadence**
-   - Targeted tests after each change batch, then phase-level regression gates.

-## MVP Definition: Historical Document Transcription System
-
-### 1. MVP Objective
-Deliver the thinnest possible end-to-end vertical slice — a user uploads an image of a document, the system transcribes it via the OpenRouter Python SDK, and the user reads the resulting transcript — with just enough persistence and structure to validate the core value proposition: *can AI-driven transcription, guided by curated prompts, produce useful verbatim transcripts of historical family documents?*  
-
-The MVP deliberately defers full-text search, export, revision history, MongoDB, and timeline assembly. These are additive features that don't need validation before the core transcription loop is proven.
-
----
-
-### 2. Core User Story
-*As a family historian, I can upload a photo of a historical document, wait for it to be transcribed, and read the verbatim transcript — so I can evaluate whether this system will work for my thousands of documents.*
-
----
-
-### 3. In-Scope Requirements (from ```requirements.md```)  
-
-| Requirement | ID | MVP Rationale |
-| --- |  --- |  --- |
-| End-to-end transcription with lifecycle state | REQ-0 | This is the MVP. |
-| Upload one or more images from the web UI | REQ-1 | Core entry point. MVP supports single-image upload (multi-image is a stretch goal). |
-| Asynchronous processing → transcription or failure | REQ-2 | Validates the AI transcription pipeline. |
-| Persist and expose job states (queued → processing → transcribed/failed) | 	REQ-3 | Minimum feedback loop for the user. |
-| Persist transcription output and failure details | REQ-4 | User must be able to read the result. |
-| UI views for status and transcript reading | REQ-5 | The user needs to see what happened. |
-| Background processing to keep UI responsive | REQ-6 | Essential for usability during long AI calls. |
-| Centralized config and logging at startup | REQ-8 | Small effort, high payoff for debugging. |
-| Store transcription prompts as Markdown files | REQ-12 | Core to the Prompt Curation Policy in intent.md. Start with a single prompt file. |
-
-
-### Deferred to Post-MVP
-| Requirement | ID | Why Deferred |
-| ---  | --- | --- |
-| Lifespan-owned runtime resources (engine, session factory, etc.) | REQ-7 | Important for production robustness, but a simple global or module-level setup is adequate for MVP validation. |
-| Docker Compose (app + PostgreSQL + optional MongoDB) | REQ-9 | MVP runs locally with SQLite to eliminate container overhead during rapid iteration. PostgreSQL migration is Stage 1 hardening. |
-| Explicit, opt-in schema bootstrap | REQ-10 | MVP uses auto-create-tables at startup (SQLModel create_all). Production schema discipline comes after the model stabilizes. |
-| Service-backed persistence for core data | REQ-11 | MVP uses a thin repository layer over SQLite. Full service abstraction follows once the domain model is proven. |
-
----
-
-### 4. MVP Feature Set
-#### Feature 1: Document Upload (UI)
-* A single NiceGUI page with a file-upload widget (accepts .jpg, .png, .tiff, .pdf).
-* On upload: save the file to a local uploads/ directory, create a Document record, create a Job record with status queued.
-* Minimal metadata capture: original filename, upload timestamp.
-
-#### Feature 2: Asynchronous Transcription Worker
-* An in-process background worker (Python asyncio task or BackgroundTasks) that:
-    1. Picks up queued jobs.
-    2. Transitions status to processing.
-    3. Sends the image + the curated Markdown prompt to an AI vision model via OpenRouter.
-    4. On success: saves the transcript text, transitions to transcribed.
-    5. On failure: saves the error detail, transitions to failed.
-
-#### Feature 3: Transcription Prompt (Markdown Asset)
-* A single Markdown file (prompts/transcribe_document.md) encoding the verbatim transcription rules from intent.md (the Document Issues table, scholarly guidelines, etc.).
-* The worker reads this file at invocation time and injects it as the system/user prompt.
-
-#### Feature 4: Job Status & Transcript Viewer (UI)
-* A job list page showing all jobs with their current status (queued / processing / transcribed / failed).
-* A transcript detail page showing:
-    * The original uploaded image (rendered inline).
-    * The transcription text (or the failure reason).
-    * Timestamp metadata.
-
-#### Feature 5: Minimal Persistence (SQLite + SQLModel)
-* Three tables/models:
-    * Document: id, filename, file_path, uploaded_at.
-    * Job: id, document_id (FK), status, created_at, updated_at.
-    * Transcript: id, job_id (FK), text, error_detail, created_at.
-* SQLite database file stored locally. Auto-created on first startup.
-
-#### Feature 6: Centralized Configuration
-* A single config.py (or Pydantic BaseSettings) loading:
-    * PROVIDER (fixed to openrouter for MVP)
-    * OPENROUTER_API_KEY (required)
-    * PROVIDER_MODEL (default: OpenRouter model slug for vision transcription)
-    * OPENROUTER_HTTP_REFERER (optional; app attribution)
-    * OPENROUTER_APP_TITLE (optional; app attribution)
-    * DATABASE_URL (default: sqlite:///./transcription.db)
-    * UPLOAD_DIR (default: ./uploads)
-    * PROMPT_DIR (default: ./prompts)
-
-#### Feature 7: MVP Dependency Baseline (OpenRouter-Centric)
-* Runtime dependencies:
-    * openrouter (official OpenRouter Python SDK)
-    * pydantic
-    * pydantic-settings
-    * sqlmodel
-* Explicitly out of MVP runtime dependencies:
-    * google-genai (deferred until/if Gemini is introduced post-MVP)

-#### 7. MVP Validation Criteria
-The MVP is considered validated when:
-
-1. ✅ A user can upload an image of a document through the browser.
-2. ✅ The system asynchronously sends the image to the configured AI vision model with the curated prompt.
-3. ✅ The transcript (or failure reason) is persisted and visible in the UI.
-4. ✅ The transcription follows verbatim scholarly rules defined in intent.md (spot-checked by the user on real family documents).
-5. ✅ The transcription prompt is stored as a standalone Markdown file and can be edited without code changes.
-6. ✅ Job status transitions are visible: queued → processing → transcribed/failed.
-
----
-
-### 8. Key Feedback Questions the MVP Should Answer
-These are the real unknowns this MVP exists to resolve:
-
-| #	| Question | How We Learn |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| 1	| Is AI transcription quality good enough for this document corpus?	| User reviews 20–50 real transcriptions against originals. |
-| 2	| Does the verbatim prompt produce scholarly-quality output, or does it need major rework?	| Compare output to the Document Issues table rules in intent.md. |
-| 3	| What document types are hardest (old cursive, faded ink, pencil, postcards)?	| Track which uploads produce failed or low-quality results. |
-| 4	| Is single-image upload sufficient, or is batch upload needed early?	| User friction during real scanning sessions. |
-| 5	| What metadata is missing that the user wishes they could capture at upload time?	| User feedback after processing real batches. |
-
----
-
-#### 9. What Comes After MVP (Immediate Post-MVP)
-Once the core transcription loop is validated, the next priorities (aligned to Architecture Stage 1) are:
-
-1. **Multi-image upload** — process a batch from a scanning session.
-2. **PostgreSQL migration** — swap SQLite for containerized PostgreSQL (REQ-9, REQ-10).
-3. **Revision history** — allow the user to edit/correct transcripts with immutable version tracking.
-4. **Full-text search** — search across all accepted transcripts.
-5. **Repository/service layer formalization** — proper ports/adapters as the domain model stabilizes.
-6. **Docker Compose deployment** — containerize the app for reproducible operation.
-
----
-
-#### 10. Implementation Approach
-Recommended build order for the MVP (each step produces a testable increment):
-
-| Step | Deliverable | Validates |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| 1 | config.py + models.py + db.py — data layer with SQLite | Schema and config foundation |
-| 2 | prompts/transcribe_document.md — curated prompt from intent.md | Prompt asset pattern |
-| 3 | services/transcription.py + providers/ — call AI vision provider with prompt + image | Core AI integration |
-| 4 | services/upload.py + worker.py — upload handling + background job loop | End-to-end pipeline (CLI-testable) |
-| 5 | ui/upload_page.py + ui/jobs_page.py — NiceGUI pages | User-facing interface |
-| 6 | tests/ — unit + integration tests	Automated verification |
-
-This MVP is deliberately narrow: **one prompt, one provider (OpenRouter), one user, one image at a time, SQLite, no containers**. Every omission is intentional — the goal is to get real family documents through the transcription pipeline as fast as possible and let the quality of the output guide every subsequent decision.

+# Database Schema (Version 2)
+
+This document describes the PostgreSQL relational schema for the transcription platform. It incorporates multi-image batch orchestration via `asyncio`, page-level execution tracking, many-to-many author/recipient attribution, and JSONB document storage for AI vision outputs.
+
+All primary and foreign keys are PostgreSQL native UUIDs (`gen_random_uuid()`).

+
+## Domain Invariants & Rules
+
+### Page-Level Execution & AI Outputs
+
+* Execution Granularity: Every single image execution by an AI model produces a dedicated record in job_source.
+* Point-in-Time Auditability: job_source.raw_api_response stores the unparsed REST response envelope for that specific image page call. job_source.ai_metadata stores spatial bounding boxes, token usage, and layout details for that specific image page call.
+* Active Output Caching: Upon successful completion of an image call, source.raw_transcription is updated with the latest output string from job_source.raw_transcription for fast UI rendering.
+
+### Page Ordering & Revisions
+
+* Sequential Integrity: source.page_number dictates page ordering within a document. Reads assembling full documents must query ORDER BY source.document_id, source.page_number ASC.
+* Inlined Human Corrections: User edits occur at the page level inside source.revised_text. source.raw_transcription remains immutable. If source.revised_text is non-null, application frontends must render source.revised_text.
+
+### Async Job Lifecycle & Failure Isolation
+
+* Batch Orchestrator: A job represents an overarching execution run across one or more source images belonging to a document.
+* Isolated Failures: API requests run concurrently (e.g., using asyncio). A failure on page 3 does not invalidate successful transcriptions on page 1 or 2.
+* Job States:
+    - queued: Created, awaiting worker execution.
+    - processing: Concurrent HTTP tasks actively running.
+    - completed: 100% of linked job_source tasks succeeded (transcribed).
+    - partial_success: At least one job_source succeeded and at least one failed.
+    - failed: All linked job_source tasks failed or a job-level runtime error occurred.
+
+### Attribution & Person Roles
+
+* Multi-Person Roles: Documents support zero, one, or many authors and recipients linked via document_person.
+* Role Uniqueness: (document_id, person_id, role) must be unique to prevent duplicate role tagging.

+# Transcription Methodology & Style Guide
+
+## 1. Overview & Core Philosophy
+
+This document defines the formal transcription standard for processing historical manuscripts, letters, diaries, and printed ephemera.
+
+Following the principles established by Mary-Jo Kline in A Guide to Documentary Editing, this project adheres to a Strict Literal Transcription (Verbatim) model as its foundational layer. The primary goal is total textual fidelity—capturing what the author wrote, not what they intended to write—while ensuring the output remains machine-readable and indexable for downstream digital query and search systems.
+
+## 2. Textual Policy
+
+Transcribers (human or AI) must record the exact text of the source document without silent corrections, modernizations, or stylistic smoothing except where explicitly instructed in this guide.
+
+* **Substantives:** Words, letter forms, structural layout, and semantic content must be recorded strictly as presented in the original document.
+  
+* **Accidentals:** Punctuation, capitalization, misspellings, and archaic character representations must be preserved unless an explicit rule below allows for standardization.
+
+## 3. Standard Transcription Rules & Markup
+
+The following rules map directly to editorial conventions for handling common manuscript anomalies and physical document features.
+
+### 3.1 Textual Anomalies & Corrections
+
+| Document Feature | Rule | Standard Markup Format | Output Example |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| **Misspellings & Errors** | Retain original spelling verbatim. Insert an italicized [sic] immediately following the error. Do not correct spelling silently. | [sic] | The weather was very cold and publick [sic] business delayed. |
+| **Missing Words / Omissions** | Insert necessary words required to restore basic grammatical sense inside square brackets. | [word] | We went [to] the store to buy supplies. |
+| **Uncertain / Conjectural** | Place best hypothesis followed by a question mark inside square brackets when handwriting is doubtful. | [word?] | He went to [Boston?] yesterday to meet the governor. |
+| **Completely Illegible** | Use [illegible] for unreadable script. Use explicit damage descriptors when physical impairment prevents reading. | [illegible] or [reason] | The total cost was [illegible] dollars. or The letter ends here [remainder of page torn]. |
+| **Canceled / Struck-through** | Wrap text removed by the author inside a [deleted: ...] tag to preserve authorial revisions. | [deleted: text] | We left at [deleted: noon] one o'clock instead. |
+| **Interlineations / Additions** | Wrap text inserted above, below, or in margins into the narrative flow inside an [inserted: ...] tag. | [inserted: text] | The [inserted: red] house on the hill was abandoned. |
+
+### 3.2 Typography, Characters & Layout
+
+| Document Feature | Rule | Standard Markup Format | Output Example |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| **Superscripts & Abbreviations** | Bring raised letters down to the main line. Optionally expand abbreviations within square brackets based on project configuration. | [expanded] | Gen^l becomes Genl or Gen[era]l. |
+| **Line-End Hyphenation** | Rejoin words split across a page or line boundary silently, dropping the soft hyphen. | Silently rejoin | Original: "estab- / lishment" becomes establishment |
+| **Capitalization** | Preserve explicit capitalization. Default to modern capitalization rules only when authorial intent is ambiguous or archaic forms confuse sentence structure. | Literal / Contextual | If a standard noun like 'Farm' is clearly capitalized, record 'Farm'. If ambiguous, default to 'farm'. |
+| **Hierarchical Outlines** | Preserve exact numbering characters (including lowercase Roman numerals or terminal 'j'). Replicate indentation levels using standard spacing. Do not correct sequence or mathematical errors. | Preserve syntax | I. Main Topic  a. Sub-point  b. Next pointIII. [sic] Third Topic |
+
+### 3.3 Visual & Spatial Elements
+
+| Document Feature | Rule | Standard Markup Format | Output Example |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| **Non-Textual Artifacts** | Record non-textual elements (seals, stamps, sketches, physical damage) using brief descriptive text inside square brackets. | [description] | [wax notary seal attached here] or [sketch of a fort layout] |
+| **Marginalia & Addenda** | Explicitly indicate spatial transitions before transcribing content located in margins or non-standard orientations. | [location:] | [written in left margin:] Do not share this with anyone. |
+
+## 4. Prompt Asset Integration
+
+When executing programmatic transcriptions via LLM APIs or local models, processing instructions must be packaged into single-purpose system prompts aligned with these rules.
+
+1. **Isolation:** Each transcription prompt file exists as an independent Markdown asset in the repository.
+2. **Deterministic Output:** Prompts must explicitly instruct models to follow the markup standards in Section 3 without introducing conversational wrappers, extra prose, or structural markdown outside the source document's native layout.
+3. **Iterative Scoping:** Rule modifications or edge-case additions must be submitted as isolated delta commits to individual prompt files to maintain clean revision tracking.

+# Version 1 Implementation Plan
+
+This plan defines the path from current implementation to **Version 1 complete**, aligned to the updated domain model:
+
+- `Document` groups one or more content `Source` records
+- `Job` owns original immutable provider output (`text`) and processing metadata
+- `Revision` stores optional user-authored edits linked to a `Source`
+
+The objective is to complete V1 scope with production readiness while keeping non-V1 enhancements out of active delivery.
+
+---
+
+## V1 Completion Definition
+
+V1 is complete when all of the following are true:
+
+1. **Functional complete**
+   - Upload, queue, processing, status display, and transcription result inspection work end-to-end.
+   - Optional revision workflow is implemented (create/view/update single revision).
+2. **Data-model complete**
+   - Runtime behavior, persistence, and tests all align to `Document` / `Source` / `Job` / `Revision`.
+3. **Operational complete**
+   - Error handling, logs, and runbooks support reliable operation.
+4. **Documentation complete**
+   - Architecture, requirements, schema, error handling, and index are consistent and current.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Data Contract Stabilization (Schema-First)
+
+**Goal:** Lock a single canonical contract before further feature work.
+
+### Tasks
+1. Confirm and document invariants:
+   - `Job.text` is original immutable transcription output.
+   - `Revision` is optional and user-authored.
+   - Revisions are derived from the original `Job.text`.
+2. Verify relationship cardinality assumptions:
+   - `Document` -> many `Source`
+   - `Document` -> many `Job`
+   - `Source` -> one `Job`
+   - `Source` -> one `Revision`
+3. Ensure field naming consistency (`date_created`, `date_updated`, `date_uploaded`) across code and docs.
+4. Freeze V1 status lifecycle to current implementation (`queued`, `processing`, `transcribed`, `failed`).
+
+### Deliverables
+- Updated `schema_v1.md` and `requirements.md` traceability alignment.
+- Explicit V1 data invariants section in architecture docs.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+- No conflicting definitions of ownership/cardinality/status remain in docs.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Service Layer Refactor To New Model
+
+**Goal:** Remove all obsolete `Transcript` assumptions from service/workflow code.
+
+### Tasks
+1. Refactor `services/transcription.py`:
+   - Replace transcript CRUD assumptions with job-output + revision operations.
+2. Refactor `services/jobs.py`:
+   - Replace old timestamp/relationship accessors with current model fields.
+3. Refactor `services/documents.py` and `services/store.py`:
+   - Ensure upload creates and links `Document`, `Source`, and `Job` correctly.
+4. Refactor `services/workflows.py`:
+   - Persist original provider output to `Job`.
+   - Persist failure detail to `Job.error_detail`.
+   - Use `Revision` only for user-authored edits.
+
+### Deliverables
+- Service layer fully aligned with new schema.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+- No service module imports or persists `Transcript` model artifacts.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — UI Contract Alignment
+
+**Goal:** Align pages/components to source/job/revision semantics.
+
+### Tasks
+1. Update job detail and related UI components:
+   - Display original immutable transcription from `Job.text`.
+   - Display optional revision sourced from `Source.revision` (0 or 1).
+2. Align date fields with new schema naming.
+3. Preserve clear user messaging when no revisions exist.
+
+### Deliverables
+- Updated jobs page and detail components.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+- UI behavior and labels match documentation and domain model.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Database Bootstrap, Migration, and Safety
+
+**Goal:** Make schema transition safe in dev/test and repeatable for deployment.
+
+### Tasks
+1. Update bootstrap compatibility logic in `db/operations.py`:
+   - Remove obsolete transcript-table assumptions.
+   - Add forward-compatible patches for current tables only.
+2. Define migration/backfill approach for existing local data.
+3. Document rollback and recovery steps.
+4. Rehearse migration path against representative data.
+
+### Deliverables
+- Migration/upgrade runbook.
+- Validated bootstrap behavior for dev/test.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+- Migration path is documented and tested with no unresolved data-loss risk.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Test Suite Realignment
+
+**Goal:** Restore full confidence after the schema redesign.
+
+### Tasks
+1. Rewrite model tests for:
+   - `Document`, `Source`, `Job`, `Revision` relationships and invariants.
+2. Rewrite service/integration tests:
+   - Worker success/failure paths using `Job.text` / `Job.error_detail`.
+   - Optional single-revision creation/update behavior.
+3. Update UI tests for new job-detail/revision rendering behavior.
+4. Re-enable strict CI quality gates (lint, type, tests).
+
+### Deliverables
+- Updated test matrix and passing CI.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+- Critical user flows and failure paths are covered and green.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — Reliability, Operations, and Release Readiness
+
+**Goal:** Ensure V1 is operable and launch-safe.
+
+### Tasks
+1. Verify error taxonomy behavior across UI/API/service/worker.
+2. Confirm structured logging includes relevant identifiers (`job_id`, `document_id`, `source_id` when applicable).
+3. Validate retry behavior and terminal failure handling.
+4. Finalize release checklist, deployment steps, and rollback procedure.
+5. Execute final acceptance run against requirements traceability.
+
+### Deliverables
+- V1 release checklist and acceptance evidence.
+- `runbook_v1.md` for incident response and operator workflows.
+- `release_checklist_v1.md` for release sign-off.
+
+### Exit Criteria
+- Stakeholder sign-off and launch readiness achieved.
+
+---
+
+## Requirement Traceability Focus
+
+The plan must keep clear evidence against these requirement groups:
+
+- **Core flow:** REQ-0 to REQ-6
+- **Runtime and operations constraints:** REQ-7 to REQ-12
+- **Revision workflow:** REQ-13
+
+A lightweight traceability table should be maintained with:
+
+- requirement ID
+- implementation status (`not started` / `in progress` / `done`)
+- validation evidence (test name, screenshot, or runbook step)
+
+---
+
+## Suggested Execution Rhythm
+
+- **Weekly:** requirement status and risk review
+- **Per PR:** contract checks (model names, field names, lifecycle values)
+- **Milestone checks:** end of Phases 2, 4, and 6
+
+---
+
+## Scope Discipline Rule (V1 Focus)
+
+- Only work required to satisfy V1 requirements enters this plan.
+- Nice-to-have enhancements are captured in a separate backlog document.
+- Schema or contract changes after Phase 1 require explicit approval and traceability impact review.

+# V1 Release Evidence Log
+
+## Step 5 Quality Gates (2026-07-29)
+
+### Lint
+
+- Command: `python -m ruff check .`
+- Result: ✅ pass
+- Notes: initial findings were auto-fixed (`ruff --fix`) plus small manual line-wrap/annotation adjustments.
+
+### Tests (primary gate)
+
+- Command: `python -m pytest -m "not external" -q`
+- Result: ✅ pass (`[100%]`)
+
+### Tests (external smoke)
+
+- Command: `python -m pytest -m external -q`
+- Result: ✅ pass (`[100%]`)
+
+### Type Check
+
+- Command: `python -m ty check src tests`
+- Result: ⚠️ not passing
+- Summary: existing SQLModel/SQLAlchemy typing incompatibilities and test double typing mismatches remain.
+
+Key current blocker families:
+
+1. SQLModel relationship/query attribute typing (`selectinload`, `order_by`, `.any()`)
+2. SQLAlchemy join clause typing in `services/transcription.py`
+3. Test fake client type mismatch for `OpenRouterTranscriptionProvider(client=...)`
+4. `Settings(**defaults)` typed-dict strictness in `tests/test_config.py`
+
+## Current Gate Status
+
+- Lint: pass
+- Non-external tests: pass
+- External smoke tests: pass
+- Type check: **blocked** (requires dedicated typing cleanup pass)

+# V1 Operations Runbook
+
+This runbook provides day-2 operational procedures for the V1 baseline.
+
+## Scope
+
+Applies to:
+
+- local/hosted V1 runtime
+- SQLite-backed persistence
+- in-process worker lifecycle
+- OpenRouter provider integration
+
+## Preconditions
+
+- `.env` contains `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`
+- app starts successfully
+- `uploads/` and `prompts/` are writable
+- health endpoint responds at `/healthz`
+
+## Standard Startup Procedure
+
+1. Start the app using the project-standard command.
+2. Open `/healthz` and verify `{"status":"ok"}`.
+3. Open `/ui/upload` and submit a small valid file.
+4. Confirm job transitions from `queued` -> `processing` -> `transcribed` (or `failed` with detail).
+
+## Standard Shutdown Procedure
+
+1. Stop the application process.
+2. Ensure no active process still holds the SQLite file.
+3. If maintenance is planned, copy the DB file before edits:
+   - `transcription.db` (or configured `DATABASE_URL` file path)
+
+## Incident: Jobs Stuck In `processing`
+
+### Symptoms
+
+- Jobs remain `processing` for longer than provider timeout
+- New uploads queue but do not complete
+- provider usage increases but no terminal job state is visible
+
+### Checks
+
+1. Confirm app process is still running.
+2. Confirm worker loop is active (startup logs include worker lifespan start).
+3. Inspect recent app logs for:
+   - `worker.process_job`
+   - `error_id`
+   - `category`
+   - `job_id` / `document_id` / `source_id`
+4. Verify provider credentials and provider status.
+
+### Recovery
+
+1. Restart the app to trigger stale-processing recovery.
+2. On startup, app re-queues stale processing jobs based on timeout policy.
+3. Re-check jobs page and confirm terminal state progression.
+4. If persistent, capture logs + error IDs and move to deep investigation.
+
+## Incident: Provider Authentication Failures
+
+### Symptoms
+
+- failures categorized as provider/auth
+- jobs fail quickly with authentication guidance
+
+### Recovery
+
+1. Validate `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` value.
+2. Restart app after updating env.
+3. Re-run a small transcription to confirm recovery.
+
+## Incident: Upload Failures
+
+### Symptoms
+
+- UI reports upload errors
+- unsupported extension or empty payload
+
+### Recovery
+
+1. Validate file extension (`.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.tif`, `.tiff`, `.pdf`).
+2. Validate file is not empty.
+3. Validate upload directory permissions.
+4. Retry upload.
+
+## Incident: Database File/Permission Issues
+
+### Symptoms
+
+- persistence errors during upload/job update
+- startup failures around schema/runtime
+
+### Recovery
+
+1. Confirm the configured DB file path exists and is writable.
+2. Confirm parent directory permissions.
+3. Restore from last known backup copy if corruption is suspected.
+4. Restart app and run smoke test.
+
+## Logging Requirements (Operational)
+
+Operational triage should always capture:
+
+- `error_id`
+- category
+- operation name
+- `job_id`, `document_id`, `source_id` when applicable
+- UTC timestamp
+
+## Escalation Packet (When opening an issue)
+
+Include:
+
+- exact timestamp window
+- one failing `job_id`
+- relevant `error_id` values
+- latest 100 lines of app logs
+- environment summary (`DATABASE_URL` type, app version/commit)
+
+## Post-Incident Validation
+
+After mitigation, verify:
+
+1. Upload works.
+2. One job reaches `transcribed`.
+3. One induced failure reaches `failed` with error detail.
+4. Jobs page and detail page render correctly.
