- TOTP second factor (RFC 6238, secret encrypted under the master key),
ten hashed single-use recovery codes, two-step login with a pending token
bound to the client address, account enrolment/disable, admin reset
- tests/security: prompt-injection corpus never acts or creates evidence-free
beliefs; roles and CSRF on form and API paths; cross-mind isolation
(demo scenario 5); stored-XSS escaping and CSP across pages; secrets never
echoed (API, pages, database, archives); hostile archive import; session
lifecycle and security headers
- OpenAPI 3.1 document generated from the route table, served at
/api/v1/openapi.json and kept complete by a test
- gosec clean (justified #nosec annotations, cookie/redirect hardening,
bounded multipart parsing, UUID packing without narrowing conversions);
govulncheck clean with toolchain pinned to go1.26.8

Phase 8, completing milestone M1. A user message is stored and appended
as an observation event carrying trust, actor, channel and reference. The
perceive process analyses it deterministically (intent, introspection
kind, entities, claims, urgency) and, within the per-cycle model
allowance, enriches it through the perceive prompt. Its handler writes a
perception event, an episodic memory with participants, turns claims into
beliefs whose evidence is the message, and builds a response intent from
state: beliefs and memories for the topic, evidence rows for why-questions,
the uncertain band, contested beliefs and their links, recent learning,
status changes, and honest declines for subsystems that do not exist yet
or for requests with no capabilities. The respond prompt phrases the
intent when a model is assigned; otherwise the reply is a direct
rendering of the intent. response_generated cites the message, the
perception, every belief and memory used, the episode and the model call.
API: conversations, messages with optional wait, one-shot ask; chat UI
with live refresh and a per-reply intent view. Sample mind Dani as a
strictly decoded seed document with an import endpoint and noemactl mind
import. tests/m1 drives all fourteen milestone steps including restart.
Phase 2. Minds are rows with a slug, status (active/disabled/archived),
cognitive configuration and a pointer to the current personality version.
Personalities are structured (identity, values, traits, communication,
behaviour, free text) with a deterministic Brief() used by prompts and the
editor preview. Every change appends a personality_versions row protected
by the append-only trigger; restore copies an old version forward.
Templates carry reusable personalities; minds record their overrides so a
template can be re-applied without losing mind-specific edits. The
self-model starts with structural limitations the mind cannot drop
(no policy changes, no influence over shutdown, no cross-mind access).
API, UI (list, overview, editor with sliders/diff/history/import/export,
template editor) and noemactl mind/template commands. All mutations are
audited with field-level diffs.
