-`make dev` runs the Go server on `:8080` and the Vite dev server on `:5173`
-(which proxies `/api`, `/auth` and `/media` to `:8080`). Open
-http://localhost:5173. Configuration is environment-only and fails fast:
-every variable above is required except the commented-out session
-lifetimes (when set they must be positive, with MAX at least IDLE),
-trusted proxy list (every entry must be an IP or CIDR) and
-`MEALQUEST_DEFAULT_TZ`, and
-secrets are read only from files named by `*_FILE` variables. `MEALQUEST_PUBLIC_URL`, `MEALQUEST_OIDC_ISSUER` and the
-endpoints the issuer advertises must be `https://`; plain `http://` is
-accepted only for `localhost`, `127.0.0.1` and `[::1]`.
-`MEALQUEST_DEFAULT_TZ` is the IANA zone the household settings are created
-with on first boot: until those settings exist, boot fails unless it is a
-valid IANA zone. Later boots ignore it, set or not (change the zone in
-household settings instead).
+The developer setup (prerequisites, Authentik and Google clients, the
+`MEALQUEST_*` environment, `make dev` and the optional SearXNG sidecar) is
+runbook information and lives in CTXD: project `mealquest`, file
+`RUNBOOKS.MD`, section "Local development". Configuration is read only from
+the environment, and the service refuses to start, naming every missing or
+invalid variable.

+# MealQuest deploy runbook
+
+The one way to deploy MealQuest to production: the docker compose project
+`mealquest` on office-srvr `10.60.1.14` (see
+[ARCHITECTURE.md](../docs/ARCHITECTURE.md#topology)). Production runs `main`
+or a release tag; only `overseer` merges `dev` → `main`. Every deploy builds
+on the host, from the checked-out commit, with `make docker`.
+
+Host setup (clone, firewall, the systemd unit, Traefik, DNS, Litestream) and
+the database restore are in CTXD project `mealquest`, `RUNBOOKS.MD`. This
+file is the build, restart, verification and rollback procedure; where it
+uses a CTXD section, it names it.
+
+All commands run on `10.60.1.14` as `overseer`, in bash, from the checkout
+`/home/overseer/mealquest`. A block that ends with `FAILED` or a non-zero
+`$?` stops the deploy: do not go on to the next step.
+
+## How the image carries its version
+
+`make docker` runs `docker build --build-arg VERSION=<version>` and tags the
+image `mealquest:<version>`, where `<version>` is
+`git describe --tags --always` of the checkout (a release tag such as
+`v1.0.0`, otherwise the short SHA), with `-dirty` added when a tracked file
+is modified. The [Dockerfile](../Dockerfile) links it into the binary, and
+`/health` reports it:
+
+```json
+{"status":"ok","version":"v1.0.0"}
+```
+
+Never pass `--build-arg VERSION` by hand, and never build with
+`docker compose build` or `docker compose up --build`: compose passes no
+version, so that image reports `dev`.
+
+The compose service `mealquest` runs the image named `mealquest-mealquest`
+(compose's name for the image it would build; check with
+`docker compose -f deploy/compose.yaml config --images mealquest`). It
+already exists, so `docker compose up` uses it and never builds. A deploy
+points that name at the `make docker` image with `docker tag`. Every
+`mealquest:<version>` image is kept for rollback; do not prune them.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `make`, `git`, `curl`, `python3` and Docker Engine with Compose on the
+  host (`make` is not in the base install: `sudo apt-get install make`).
+- `deploy/.env` (git-ignored, owner `overseer`, mode 0600) sets every
+  variable [`deploy/.env.example`](.env.example) sets, with
+  `MEALQUEST_BIND_ADDRESS=10.60.1.14`. It must not set the variables
+  `deploy/compose.yaml` fixes (`MEALQUEST_HTTP_ADDR`, `MEALQUEST_DATA_DIR`,
+  `MEALQUEST_SEARXNG_URL` and the `*_FILE` variables). Creating it: CTXD
+  `RUNBOOKS.MD` "Stack and first deploy" > "3. Environment file".
+- `deploy/secrets/` (git-ignored, mode 0700) holds `secret_key`,
+  `oidc_client_secret`, `google_client_secret`, `vapid_private_key` and
+  `litestream_key`, each owned by `10001:10001` with mode 0600, and
+  `searxng.env`, owned by `overseer` with mode 0600. Creating them: CTXD
+  `RUNBOOKS.MD` "Stack and first deploy" > "4. Secrets".
+- The compose file is the checkout's [`deploy/compose.yaml`](compose.yaml);
+  the systemd unit [`mealquest.service`](systemd/mealquest.service) starts
+  and stops it and is the only way the stack starts.
+- DNS and Traefik already route `https://mealquest.cubecraftlabs.com` to
+  `10.60.1.14:8090` (CTXD `RUNBOOKS.MD` "Reverse proxy (Traefik)", "DNS").
+
+Check `deploy/.env` and the secrets before every deploy (a new release may
+add a variable; the service refuses to boot without it). Both commands must
+print nothing:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/overseer/mealquest
+comm -23 <(grep -oE '^MEALQUEST_[A-Z_]+' deploy/.env.example | sort -u) \
+         <(grep -oE '^MEALQUEST_[A-Z_]+' deploy/.env | sort -u)   # variables missing from deploy/.env
+sudo find deploy/secrets -type f ! -perm 600                       # secrets not mode 0600
+```
+
+## Deploy
+
+### 1. Build
+
+Record the release production is running now, check out the new release
+and build its image. Nothing restarts.
+
+The rollback target is the version the running service reports on
+`/health`, read before the checkout changes, never the checkout's `HEAD`:
+after a failed or deferred deploy the checkout can be ahead of production.
+The block resolves that version to a commit and prints it as the rollback
+SHA. A running version of `dev` or `*-dirty` names no commit: the block
+fails, and the rollback target must be established by hand before going on.
+
+The checkout must be clean (the same test as the Makefile's `GIT_DIRTY`:
+no modified tracked file outside the generated `internal/frontend/dist`).
+The block computes the image tag exactly as `make docker` does, `-dirty`
+included, and checks that image exists after the build.
+
+```sh
+cd /home/overseer/mealquest && (
+set -euo pipefail
+fail() { echo "$*" >&2; exit 1; }
+built=
+trap 'st=$?
+if [ "$st" -eq 0 ] && [ -n "$built" ]; then echo "built: $built"
+else [ "$st" -ne 0 ] || st=1; echo "build FAILED (status $st)" >&2; fi
+exit "$st"' EXIT
+bind=$(grep -E '^MEALQUEST_BIND_ADDRESS=' deploy/.env | cut -d = -f 2-)
+[ -n "$bind" ] || fail "deploy/.env sets no MEALQUEST_BIND_ADDRESS"
+running=$(curl -fsS "http://$bind:8090/health" | python3 -c 'import json, sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["version"])') \
+  || fail "http://$bind:8090/health did not return a version: no running release to roll back to"
+case "$running" in
+  dev|*-dirty) fail "the running release reports $running, which names no commit" ;;
+esac
+git fetch --tags origin
+rollback=$(git rev-parse --verify --quiet "$running^{commit}") \
+  || fail "running version $running is not a commit in this repository"
+echo "rollback SHA: $rollback (running version $running)"   # RECORD it for rollback
+git checkout --detach "refs/remotes/origin/main^{commit}"   # or the release tag, e.g. v1.0.0
+dirty=$(git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no -- . ':(exclude)internal/frontend/dist')
+[ -z "$dirty" ] || fail "the checkout has modified tracked files; clean it first:
+$dirty"
+v=$(git describe --tags --always)${dirty:+-dirty}   # the Makefile's VERSION
+make docker
+docker image inspect "mealquest:$v" > /dev/null 2>&1 || fail "no image mealquest:$v: the build failed"
+built="mealquest:$v"
+)
+```
+
+### 2. Ship and restart
+
+1. **Pre-restart gates.** Run CTXD `RUNBOOKS.MD` "Routine deploy and
+   rollback" > "Deploy" step 2 (a verified pre-deploy restore point; record
+   it with the rollback SHA) and step 3 (boot-required configuration). The
+   restart applies migrations the previous release refuses, so without that
+   restore point there is no rollback. If either fails, do not restart:
+   production stays on the previous release.
+2. **Point the stack at the new image and restart.** `docker compose pull`
+   fetches the pinned `litestream` and `searxng` images before anything
+   stops; `mealquest` is never pulled. The restart applies the firewall,
+   then runs `down` and `up -d`, and returns once `mealquest` passes its
+   healthcheck (`/health` inside the container).
+
+```sh
+cd /home/overseer/mealquest && (
+set -euo pipefail
+fail() { echo "$*" >&2; exit 1; }
+up=
+trap 'st=$?
+if [ "$st" -eq 0 ] && [ -n "$up" ]; then echo "restarted on: $up"
+else [ "$st" -ne 0 ] || st=1; echo "restart FAILED (status $st)" >&2; fi
+exit "$st"' EXIT
+v=$(git describe --tags --always)
+docker compose -f deploy/compose.yaml pull litestream searxng
+docker tag "mealquest:$v" mealquest-mealquest
+sudo systemctl restart mealquest
+for s in mealquest litestream searxng; do
+  id=$(docker compose -f deploy/compose.yaml ps --status running --quiet "$s")
+  [ -n "$id" ] || fail "$s is not running"
+done
+id=$(docker compose -f deploy/compose.yaml ps --quiet mealquest)
+health=$(docker inspect -f '{{.State.Health.Status}}' "$id")
+[ "$health" = healthy ] || fail "mealquest is $health, not healthy"
+up="mealquest:$v"
+)
+```
+
+On failure read `journalctl -u mealquest` and
+`docker compose -f deploy/compose.yaml logs mealquest`: a configuration
+error names the variable. Fix it or roll back.
+
+### 3. Verify the deployed version and a real screen
+
+A `/health` 200 alone proves only that some build is up. This step checks,
+on the LAN address and through Traefik, that:
+
+- `/health` reports exactly the checkout's `git describe --tags --always`;
+- `/` and the Plan screen's route `/plan` serve the built PWA shell (the
+  React root and a hashed `/assets/` script, not the placeholder page an
+  unbuilt embed serves);
+- that script is served as JavaScript.
+
+```sh
+cd /home/overseer/mealquest && (
+set -euo pipefail
+fail() { echo "$*" >&2; exit 1; }
+want=
+trap 'st=$?
+if [ "$st" -eq 0 ] && [ -n "$want" ]; then echo "deployed and verified: $want ($(git rev-parse HEAD))"
+else [ "$st" -ne 0 ] || st=1; echo "verification FAILED (status $st): the deploy is not verified" >&2; fi
+exit "$st"' EXIT
+v=$(git describe --tags --always)
+for base in http://10.60.1.14:8090 https://mealquest.cubecraftlabs.com; do
+  got=$(curl -fsS "$base/health" | python3 -c 'import json, sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["version"])') \
+    || fail "$base/health did not return a version"
+  [ "$got" = "$v" ] || fail "$base/health reports version $got, the checkout is $v"
+  for path in / /plan; do
+    page=$(curl -fsS "$base$path") || fail "$base$path did not return 200"
+    grep -q '<div id="root"></div>' <<< "$page" || fail "$base$path is not the PWA shell"
+    js=$(grep -oE 'src="/assets/[^"]+\.js"' <<< "$page" | head -n 1 | cut -d '"' -f 2) || true
+    [ -n "$js" ] || fail "$base$path references no built /assets/ script"
+    type=$(curl -fsS -o /dev/null -w '%{content_type}' "$base$js") || fail "$base$js did not return 200"
+    case "$type" in
+      text/javascript*) ;;
+      *) fail "$base$js is $type, not JavaScript" ;;
+    esac
+  done
+  echo "$base: version $got, PWA shell and $js served"
+done
+want=$v
+)
+```
+
+- `deployed and verified: <version> (<SHA>)` and `$?` = `0` → open
+  `https://mealquest.cubecraftlabs.com` in a browser: sign in and the Home
+  screen renders with the household's data. Then record the deployed
+  version and SHA, the rollback SHA, the pre-deploy restore point and the
+  date in the release's Maestro task.
+- `verification FAILED`, any error or a non-zero `$?` → the deploy is not
+  done. A version mismatch means the stack runs a different image than the
+  checkout: repeat step 2, or roll back.
+
+## Rollback to a previous release
+
+Rolling back points `mealquest-mealquest` at the previous release's
+`mealquest:<version>` image again; that release's checkout keeps the
+compose file and the version check consistent with it.
+
+1. **Check whether the rollback crosses a migration** with CTXD
+   `RUNBOOKS.MD` "Routine deploy and rollback" > "Rollback to a previous
+   SHA" (its first block), run against the rollback SHA that deploy step 1
+   recorded. If it prints versions unknown to the rollback SHA, restore the
+   database to the pre-deploy restore point first (CTXD `RUNBOOKS.MD`
+   "Restore the database", with `-timestamp <restore point>`); changes
+   since then are lost, so tell the household.
+2. **Check out the rollback SHA and retag its image.** An image built before
+   this runbook was not tagged `mealquest:<version>`; `make docker` builds
+   it from the same commit.
+
+```sh
+cd /home/overseer/mealquest && (
+set -euo pipefail
+fail() { echo "$*" >&2; exit 1; }
+P=<rollback SHA>   # recorded by step 1, from the running release's /health
+back=
+trap 'st=$?
+if [ "$st" -eq 0 ] && [ -n "$back" ]; then echo "rolled back to: $back"
+else [ "$st" -ne 0 ] || st=1; echo "rollback FAILED (status $st)" >&2; fi
+exit "$st"' EXIT
+git checkout --detach "$P"
+v=$(git describe --tags --always)
+docker image inspect "mealquest:$v" > /dev/null 2>&1 || make docker
+docker image inspect "mealquest:$v" > /dev/null 2>&1 || fail "no image mealquest:$v"
+docker tag "mealquest:$v" mealquest-mealquest
+sudo systemctl restart mealquest
+back="mealquest:$v"
+)
+```
+
+3. **Run step 3 above** unchanged. The rollback is done only when it prints
+   `deployed and verified:` with the previous release's version.
+
+## Automated deploys
+
+[`auto-deploy.sh`](auto-deploy.sh), installed as
+`/usr/local/sbin/mealquest-auto-deploy`, runs this runbook's deploy unattended:
+step 1 (build), the prerequisite `deploy/.env` and secrets check, CTXD
+`RUNBOOKS.MD` "Deploy" steps 2 (pre-deploy restore point) and 3
+(boot-required configuration), step 2 (ship and restart) and step 3
+(verify). No check is skipped or weakened, and it stops at the first
+failure. Every failure before the restart leaves production on the previous
+release.
+
+### What runs, and when
+
+[`mealquest-auto-deploy.timer`](systemd/mealquest-auto-deploy.timer) starts
+[`mealquest-auto-deploy.service`](systemd/mealquest-auto-deploy.service)
+at every quarter hour (`OnCalendar=*-*-* *:0/15:00`), plus up to 5 minutes'
+random delay; a check missed while the host was down runs as soon as it is
+back (`Persistent=true`). The service runs the script as `overseer` from the
+checkout, and only while `mealquest.service` is active: a stack stopped on
+purpose (a database or media restore) is skipped, not redeployed. Output goes
+to the journal (`journalctl -u mealquest-auto-deploy`).
+
+Each run fetches `origin` and compares `origin/main` with the last
+`deployed=` SHA in the deploy record `/home/overseer/mealquest-auto-deploy.log`:
+
+| `origin/main` | Result |
+| --- | --- |
+| is the last deployed SHA | No-op: exit 0, no output. |
+| CI (Gitea commit status) `pending` | Exit 0, no output; the next run checks again. |
+| CI `failure`, `error`, `warning`, or no status yet | Error in the journal, exit 1, nothing deployed. |
+| the last record line is `FAILED` for this SHA | Error in the journal, exit 1, nothing deployed: a failed deploy is never retried by the timer. |
+| CI `success` | Deploy. |
+
+The CI status is read from
+`https://code.cubecraftlabs.com/api/v1/repos/Maniacs_Mansion/MealQuest/commits/<SHA>/status`
+(public; no credential). A commit merged moments before a run can briefly
+report no status, which fails that run; the next run reads it again.
+
+A deploy appends one line to the record:
+
+```text
+2026-10-12T15:04:05Z previous=<rollback SHA> deployed=<SHA> restore_point=2026-10-12T15:01:59Z
+```
+
+`previous` is the rollback SHA (from the running release's `/health`,
+never the checkout) and `restore_point` the verified pre-deploy restore
+point: record both in the release's Maestro task. A failed deploy appends
+`<date> FAILED target=<SHA> status=<exit status>` and logs
+`auto-deploy FAILED (status <n>)` to the journal, adding whether it failed
+before the restart (production untouched) or after it (read
+`journalctl -u mealquest`, then fix or roll back). Either way the checkout is
+left at the target commit; the running release on `/health` stays the
+rollback target.
+
+### Install on the host
+
+The script and units are installed copies: repeat this whenever a release
+changes `deploy/auto-deploy.sh` or the units. From the checkout, at a release
+that contains them:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/overseer/mealquest
+sudo install -m 0755 deploy/auto-deploy.sh /usr/local/sbin/mealquest-auto-deploy
+sudo install -m 0644 deploy/systemd/mealquest-auto-deploy.service \
+  deploy/systemd/mealquest-auto-deploy.timer /etc/systemd/system/
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+```
+
+The timer refuses to deploy until the record holds a deploy, so seed it with
+one manual deploy of the release production should run (below), then start
+the timer:
+
+```sh
+sudo /usr/local/sbin/mealquest-auto-deploy --ref refs/remotes/origin/main
+sudo systemctl enable --now mealquest-auto-deploy.timer
+systemctl list-timers mealquest-auto-deploy.timer
+```
+
+To stop automated deploys: `sudo systemctl disable --now mealquest-auto-deploy.timer`.
+
+### Manual override
+
+```sh
+sudo /usr/local/sbin/mealquest-auto-deploy --ref <ref>
+```
+
+deploys an explicit ref (a SHA, tag or `origin/<branch>`) through the same
+blocks, bypassing the CI and no-op gates: for a roll-forward fix, a re-run
+after a `FAILED` record, or seeding the record. Run as root, the script
+re-executes itself as `overseer`; it holds a lock, so it never runs alongside
+the timer's run. It prints `deployed and verified:` and exits 0 only when
+step 3 passed.
+
+### Rollback
+
+Rollback is not automated: follow "Rollback to a previous release" above
+and CTXD `RUNBOOKS.MD` "Routine deploy and rollback" > "Rollback to a
+previous SHA", using the `previous` SHA and `restore_point` from the record.
+The timer does not undo a manual rollback: `origin/main` is still the last
+recorded deploy, so its runs are no-ops until `main` moves, and a new `main`
+then deploys as usual. Disable the timer if the rollback must hold.

+"""Generate folds_table.go, the letter-fold table used by harness.Normalize,
+and its copy web/src/dinners/letterFolds.json, used by the PWA's
+normalizeName (web/src/dinners/names.ts). TestLetterFoldsMatchPWA fails when
+the two differ.
+
+Run from this directory with `go generate ./internal/ai/harness` (or
+`python3 gen_folds.py`; gofmt must be on PATH). It uses only the Python
+standard library's unicodedata, so it works offline; the Unicode version it
+was generated from is recorded in the output.
+
+The table maps a code point to its lowercased base letters:
+
+  - every code point with a canonical decomposition that includes a
+    combining mark (category Mn) maps to its full canonical decomposition
+    with the marks removed, so a precomposed letter folds exactly like its
+    decomposed spelling once Normalize drops the marks (ở -> o, ǖ -> u).
+    Code points whose remaining base is not letters or digits (spacing
+    accents such as U+1FEE) are left out; Normalize treats both spellings
+    of those as punctuation;
+  - Latin letters with no decomposition whose name is "LATIN ... LETTER X
+    WITH ..." map to x (ø -> o, ł -> l, đ -> d);
+  - the Latin ligatures and letters listed in EXTRA map as given.
+
+Each result is then folded again, letter by letter, until nothing changes
+(ǿ -> ø -> o, ǽ -> æ -> ae). Normalize writes a result without folding it
+again, so the table must already be fully reduced; the generator fails if a
+result does not settle.
+
+Hangul syllables are left out: their decomposition is into conjoining jamo,
+not combining marks.

+## Instructions
+You suggest dinner ideas the household can cook from the ingredients it has on hand, listed under "Ingredients on hand" in the household context.
+
+Prefer ideas that use as many of those ingredients as possible and need as few others as possible. Pantry staples such as salt, pepper, oil and water need not be listed as missing. Vary the ideas: no two may be the same dish.
+
+Give for each idea:
+- name: the dinner's usual name, as a recipe site would title it.
+- uses: the ingredients on hand the idea uses, each written exactly as it appears in the "Ingredients on hand" list. List only ingredients from that list, never one it does not hold.
+- missing: the ingredients the idea needs that are not on hand, each with a quantity where it helps, e.g. "1 lime". Leave it empty when nothing is missing.
+- est_minutes: your estimate of the whole minutes from starting prep to the table.
+- method: how it is mainly cooked: "stovetop", "oven", "crockpot" (slow cooker or crock pot), "grill" or "other".
+- difficulty: "easy", "medium" or "hard" for a home cook.
+- search_query: a web search query that finds a recipe for this dinner.
+
+One valid idea, for a household with "chicken thighs", "rice" and "cilantro" on hand (an example only, not about this household):
+{"name": "Cilantro Lime Chicken and Rice", "uses": ["chicken thighs", "rice", "cilantro"], "missing": ["1 lime"], "est_minutes": 35, "method": "stovetop", "difficulty": "easy", "search_query": "cilantro lime chicken and rice recipe"}

+## Instructions
+You suggest Side quests: new dinners for the household to try, based on the dinners it already makes.
+
+Every Side quest must be a dinner the household has not had: never one of its Regulars, its Quest log, its pending Side quests or the dinners it has passed, and never one of those under another name. Base every Side quest on one or more of the household's Regulars, such as a familiar protein in a new cuisine or familiar flavours cooked a new way. Prefer the favorite Regulars, and vary the cuisines across the batch.
+
+Give for each Side quest:
+- name: the dinner's usual name, as a recipe site would title it.
+- cuisine: its cuisine, e.g. "Thai" or "Tex-Mex".
+- method: how it is mainly cooked: "stovetop", "oven", "crockpot" (slow cooker or crock pot), "grill" or "other".
+- est_minutes: your estimate of the whole minutes from starting prep to the table.
+- difficulty: "easy", "medium" or "hard" for a home cook.
+- reason: one sentence of at most 180 characters saying why the household would like it. It must name at least one of the Regulars in cited_regulars.
+- cited_regulars: the Regulars the reason relies on, at least one, each written exactly as its name appears in the Regulars list of the household context, without the details in parentheses. Cite only Regulars from that list.
+- search_query: a web search query that finds a recipe for this dinner.
+
+One valid Side quest, for a household with a Regular named "Chicken Fajitas" (an example only, not about this household):
+{"name": "Chicken Shawarma Bowls", "cuisine": "Middle Eastern", "method": "oven", "est_minutes": 40, "difficulty": "easy", "reason": "Spiced roast chicken and crisp toppings, like your Chicken Fajitas with a Middle Eastern twist.", "cited_regulars": ["Chicken Fajitas"], "search_query": "chicken shawarma bowls recipe"}
+
+## Household context
+### Today
+- Tuesday 2026-10-06 (America/New_York)
+
+### Regulars
+- Beef Chili (Tex-Mex, crockpot, 240 min)
+- Chicken Fajitas (Tex-Mex, stovetop, 30 min, favorite)
+- Spaghetti Bolognese (Italian, stovetop, 45 min)
+
+### Quest log
+- Pad Thai
+
+### Passed, oldest first
+- Chicken Tikka Masala
+
+### Recent plans
+- 2026-10-05 Mon: Chicken Fajitas
+- 2026-10-06 Tue: Beef Chili
+
+### Pending Side quests
+- Shrimp Scampi
