+# DECISIONS.md — Project Bifrost
+
+Decisions made during autonomous build. Each entry: what was chosen, why, and where it applies.
+
+---
+
+## D-01 · Content collections in `src/content/` not root `content/`
+
+**Chose:** `src/content/updates/` and `src/content/meetings/` for Astro content collections.
+**Why:** Astro 4 requires content collections to live inside `src/content/`. The root `content/` folder cannot be used for typed collections with Zod schemas.
+**Applies to:** updates, meetings.
+**Note:** `content/roadmap.md` stays at root and is read via `fs.readFileSync` since it's a single file, not a collection.
+
+---
+
+## D-02 · `marked` added as a runtime dependency
+
+**Chose:** Added `marked ^12.0.0` for rendering user-contributed markdown.
+**Why:** SPEC requires markdown-lite rendering (bold, italic, links, lists, code blocks) in contributions and replies. A homegrown parser risks XSS and correctness bugs. `marked` is tiny, well-maintained, and ships its own TypeScript types.
+**Note:** HTML output is not sanitized (no DOMPurify). Acceptable for a private hub with 14 trusted users. Flag for v1.1 if scope expands.
+
+---
+
+## D-03 · Sessions: 7-day, random 32-byte hex ID
+
+**Chose:** Sessions stored in SQLite. Cookie `bifrost_session` holds a 32-byte random hex string. Expiry 7 days. HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax.
+**Why:** Simple, auditable. No JWTs — session validity is always checkable server-side. SPEC mandates HttpOnly + SameSite=Lax.
+
+---
+
+## D-04 · Invite tokens: HMAC-signed, hash stored in DB
+
+**Chose:** Token format `${randomBase64url}.${hmac16chars}`. SHA-256 hash of the full token stored in `invites.token_hash`. HMAC key = `BIFROST_SECRET`.
+**Why:** SPEC says "HMAC-signed, not JWTs". Storing the hash means a compromised DB doesn't reveal usable tokens.
+
+---
+
+## D-05 · `BIFROST_SECRET` env var with dev fallback
+
+**Chose:** `process.env.BIFROST_SECRET ?? 'dev-secret-do-not-use-in-production'`
+**Why:** Zero-config for local dev. Production must set the env var. A `.env.example` documents it.
+
+---
+
+## D-06 · Calendar navigation via URL params, no JS
+
+**Chose:** `/calendar?y=2026&m=4` — month grid built server-side per request.
+**Why:** Works without JavaScript. Simpler to reason about. JS keyboard nav is a v1.1 enhancement.
+
+---
+
+## D-07 · Reactions use form POST (full reload)
+
+**Chose:** +1 reaction is a plain `<form method="post">`. Full page reload.
+**Why:** No JS required. Works in all contexts. AJAX reactions are a UX polish item for v1.1.
+**Trade-off:** Page reload loses scroll position. Acceptable for prototype.
+
+---
+
+## D-08 · Roadmap parsed from `content/roadmap.md` with simple section splitter
+
+**Chose:** Read `content/roadmap.md` with `fs.readFileSync`, split on `## ` headings, render each section's items with `marked`.
+**Why:** It's a single file, not a collection. No need to add Astro content collection overhead for one file.
+
+---
+
+## D-09 · `better-sqlite3` excluded from Vite optimisation
+
+**Chose:** Added `vite.ssr.external: ['better-sqlite3']` and `vite.optimizeDeps.exclude`.
+**Why:** Prevents Vite from attempting to bundle the native Node module, which would fail. Standard pattern for native modules in Vite/Astro.
+
+---
+
+## D-10 · Ghost border on form field bottom edges
+
+**Chose:** Input fields use `border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(186,186,176,0.30)` (ghost border pattern from design system).
+**Why:** This is explicitly permitted by the design system README for form fields ("bottom-only Ghost Border"). Not a structural layout border.
+
+---
+
+## D-11 · AppLayout for authenticated pages, BaseLayout for auth pages
+
+**Chose:** Two layouts. `AppLayout.astro` has the glass nav, user info, and nav links. `BaseLayout.astro` (existing) is used for login and invite redemption pages.
+**Why:** Auth pages should not show the nav — they are entry points before identity is established.
+
+---
+
+## D-12 · Attendance RSVP shown only to Fenja role
+
+**Chose:** The attendance tally on meeting pages is visible to all (yes/no counts). Individual RSVP selections are visible only to fenja-role users.
+**Why:** SPEC §5.4: "A simple tally, not a hard RSVP. Shown only to Fenja."
+
+---
+
+## D-13 · Contribution edit window: 10 min enforced server-side
+
+**Chose:** Edit button visible client-side based on `data-created` timestamp. Server validates the 10-minute window on POST.
+**Why:** Both checks needed: client for UX, server for security. The client check is just convenience.
+
+---
+
+## D-14 · Password reset via new invite link (no email flow)
+
+**Chose:** No forgot-password page built. Admin issues a new invite link from /admin.
+**Why:** SPEC §3 explicitly says: "No forgot-password flow for v1 — admin re-issues invite links."

 ## In progress
 
+**Sovereign LLM deployment** — Open-source models (Llama 3, Mistral) running fully inside your infrastructure. No data ever leaves your network. Currently in active testing with pilot participants.
+
+**Document ingestion pipeline** — Upload any document (PDF, Word, plain text) and have it indexed, searchable, and available to the model as context. Handling large corpora with proper chunking and metadata.
+
+**Traceability layer** — Every response cites its sources. The system logs which documents were consulted, with what confidence, and returns a structured audit trail. `pilot-only`
+
 ## Next
 
+**Contextual memory** — The system learns the regulatory and organisational context of your work over time. Ask a question about GDPR compliance and it already knows you operate under Danish law with specific sector obligations.
+
+**Agentic query mode** — Instead of single-turn Q&A, the system breaks down a complex question into sub-queries, retrieves evidence for each, and synthesises a structured answer with full provenance.
+
+**Meeting summary generation** — After a meeting is logged, the system can generate a draft summary, link it to the relevant roadmap items, and post it to the hub for review.
+
 ## Later
+
+**Self-service agent workflows** — Non-technical users define repeatable tasks (e.g. "summarise all new documents tagged GDPR weekly") that run automatically.
+
+**Developer API** — A clean REST API for organisations that want to embed Fenja into their own internal tools and workflows.
+
+**Multi-organisation knowledge graphs** — Separate, permission-controlled knowledge spaces for different departments or organisations within a single deployment.

+## Agenda
+
+1. Welcome and introductions — 15 min
+2. Project Bifrost: the problem we are solving — 20 min
+3. The sovereign AI platform: architecture overview — 20 min
+4. Pilot scope and success criteria — 15 min
+5. The hub: how to use it during the pilot — 10 min
+6. Open questions — 40 min
+
+## Notes
+
+A strong start.
+
+Fourteen participants across five organisations joined the kickoff. The energy was focused — people came prepared.
+
+**Key themes from open questions**
+
+*Traceability.* Several participants raised auditability as a hard requirement. The system must be able to explain not just what answer it gave, but which documents informed it and with what confidence. This is not a differentiator — it is table stakes in their regulatory environments. We confirmed this is core to the architecture, not a bolt-on.
+
+*Contextual awareness.* Participants want the system to understand the regulatory and organisational context without being prompted each time. The Fenja Knowledge component (on the later roadmap) addresses this directly. We previewed the concept — the response was "when, not if."
+
+*Data residency.* Every participant confirmed that data leaving their infrastructure — even temporarily, even encrypted — is a showstopper with their legal teams. The customer-hosted model is not just a feature preference; it is a compliance requirement.
+
+**Decisions made**
+
+- Pilot success criteria will be defined jointly with each organisation and shared in the next update
+- Traceability will be demoed explicitly at the Q2 session
+- Meeting notes will be posted in the hub within 48 hours of each session
+
+Next session: **25 April, 14:00 CET.**

+title: Infrastructure is ready. Invites going out.
+date: 2026-04-01
+author: Fenja AI
+summary: The Hetzner VPS is provisioned, HTTPS is live, and the database is seeded. We are issuing the first wave of invitations today.
+---
+
+The foundation is in place.
+
+The Bifrost hub is running on a Hetzner CAX11 in Helsinki — ARM, 4 GB, behind Caddy with automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt. The SQLite database is initialised and backed up nightly to a Hetzner Storage Box.
+
+**What this means for you**
+
+You should receive your invitation link by separate message today. Click the link, set a password, and you will land in the hub. The link is personal, single-use, and valid for 14 days. If it expires before you use it, contact Jonathan and we will issue a new one.
+
+**What is here right now**
+
+- This updates log
+- The roadmap (three horizons: in progress, next, later)
+- A contribute page where you can post ideas, questions, and inspiration
+- The calendar for CAB meetings — the kickoff notes from March are already there
+
+The participants directory, product preview, and vision page are live as well. The admin panel is accessible to the Fenja team.
+
+**What is coming this week**
+
+The second sprint focuses on the contribute feed — reactions, Fenja replies, and the filtering by type. More in the next update.

+title: Authentication, content pipeline, and the first CAB session.
+date: 2026-04-08
+author: Fenja AI
+summary: Week one complete. Auth is solid, the contribution feed is working, and the kickoff session left us energised and clearer on priorities.
+---
+
+A productive week.
+
+**What shipped**
+
+The authentication system is complete — invite tokens, password hashing, session cookies, the invite redemption flow, and the admin panel for issuing and revoking invites. The HMAC-signed tokens are short-lived (14 days) and single-use; a compromised link cannot be replayed after first use.
+
+The content pipeline for updates and meetings is live. Markdown files in the repository render as editorial pages — generous type, proper line heights, no visual clutter.
+
+**The kickoff session**
+
+The CAB kickoff on 20 March set a useful baseline. Two themes came up repeatedly: *traceability* (being able to explain to an auditor exactly what the system did and why) and *contextual awareness* (the system understanding the regulatory environment without being explicitly told each time).
+
+Both are core to the Bifrost roadmap. We will address them specifically in the mid-pilot review.
+
+**Next sprint**
+
+- Reactions and replies on contributions
+- Meeting attendance RSVP
+- Roadmap polish — pilot-only tags
+
+Progress continues.

+title: Week two. Reactions, replies, and a Q2 agenda.
+date: 2026-04-15
+author: Fenja AI
+summary: The contribute feed is fully interactive. The Q2 CAB session agenda is posted. Three things worth your attention before Thursday.
+---
+
+Shorter update this week — the work speaks for itself.
+
+**Contribute feed is interactive**
+
+Reactions (+1), Fenja replies, and type filtering are live. The feed defaults to newest-first; there is a "most acknowledged" sort available. Contributions can be edited by the author for ten minutes after posting, then lock. The Fenja team can reply at any point.
+
+Post something. We are reading everything.
+
+**Q2 CAB session — 25 April**
+
+The agenda for the second CAB session is posted in the calendar. Three items:
+
+1. Sprint 2 demo — the contribute feed in action, with real data from the pilot
+2. Roadmap horizon review — what moves from *Next* to *In progress*
+3. Open questions from the contribution feed
+
+Add your attendance mark before Thursday. The session is two hours, video only.
+
+**Before you go**
+
+Three contributions in the feed worth reading if you have not seen them yet:
+
+- Mette's idea on meeting summaries linking to roadmap items
+- Lars's question on multilingual document handling
+- The department-level scoping idea from the Fenja team
+
+All three are on the Q2 agenda. Come ready to discuss.
