 - **Admin-UI changes need a FULL deploy + are bundle-gated** — the admin apps (`app/admin/*` + `app/admin-shell/`) are raw-copied into the approuter's `static/admin-ui/` by the MTA's approuter builder during `mbt build`. A `--skip-build` deploy (reuses a stale mtar), a module-scoped `cf deploy -m tutorials-srv`, or an mtar packaged before the change landed will silently ship a **stale admin UI** even though the fix is on `main` (this is why PR #1331/#1345's value-help fix looked "not deployed" on DEV). `npm run deploy` now runs **Step 3.5** (`scripts/check-shipped-admin-bundle.cjs`) which cracks the mtar and diffs the shipped admin component files against source, failing the deploy on drift. Rule: deploy admin-UI changes with a full `npm run deploy -- --env <env>` (NO `--skip-build`, NO `-m` scoping), and never bypass Step 3.5.
 
+## Agent Token Efficiency
+
+These are load-bearing habits for keeping AI-agent token usage down without reducing output. Ignoring them wastes tokens re-sending output the agent never uses.
+
+- **Never paste raw deploy/test/log scrollback into the main context.** Any command whose output can exceed ~50 lines (`mbt build`, `cf deploy`, `npm run build:all`, `npm test`, `cf logs`) MUST be wrapped in `scripts/quiet-run.sh <cmd…>` — it keeps the full log on disk under `.quiet-logs/` and prints only exit code + matched error lines + last N lines. Drill into the full log path only when the summary is insufficient.
+- **Delegate noisy investigation to a subagent.** Grep sweeps, "which files import X", log trawls, broad multi-file reads — dispatch to `Explore`/`general-purpose` so the raw output stays out of the main context and only the findings return.
+- **Don't read a whole file for a few lines.** Prefer cds-mcp / hana-cli / `Grep` with line ranges over full-file `Read`; read only the slice you need.
+- **Short sessions.** One deploy or one debugging thread per session; `/clear` between them so stale build output doesn't ride on every subsequent request.
+- Longer term, structural wins are tracked in issues #2265 (retrieval memory), #2266 (deploy-oracle), #2267 (verify/probe), #2268 (CDS answer path).

 - **External channels subsystem** — `Channels` entity (`db/channels.cds`) is the source of truth; re-ingest via `npm run seed-channels`; directory at `/channels` (baked by `fetch-channels` in `build:all`); verb-lane fill via `npm run promote-channels`; community items never land in `START_HERE`. → [channels.md](docs/developers/reference/channels.md).
+- **Signed provenance envelope (#2245)** — `PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED` (DB config, default OFF, DEV-first); two anonymous Express endpoints (`/content/tutorials/:slug/provenance` and `/.well-known/tutorial-provenance/jwks.json`); signing key = `PROVENANCE_SIGNING_KEY` credstore secret (Ed25519 PKCS8 PEM); rotate via `/admin-ui/#secrets`. Fail-open. → gotchas.md "Signed provenance envelope".

+A human- and AI-navigable map of the whole site, mirroring [CAP/Capire's sitemap.md](https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/sitemap). Distinct from the three existing surfaces: `sitemap.xml` is a flat XML URL list for crawlers, `llms-full.txt` is a flat metadata dump of every resource, and this is a **navigable hierarchy** — the site's structure, not just its URLs. Sections:

+- **Navigation** — the verb lanes (Learn / Build / Integrate / Operate / Connect / AI), each linking its section page plus that lane's shelves. Built from the verb section pages (always present at build) and `hugo/data/shelf_definitions.json` (best-effort).
+- **Missions** — every mission expanded to its ordered tutorial list. Missions are **not** Hugo pages — they're served dynamically from the CAP catalog — so a build step [scripts/fetch-sitemap-catalog.ts](../../../scripts/fetch-sitemap-catalog.ts) fetches `GET /build/catalog` into `hugo/data/sitemap_catalog.json`. **Fail-open**: with no `CAP_BASE_URL` (plain `build:hugo` / dev) or on fetch failure, the mission list is empty and the section falls back to linking the `/missions/` index, exactly like llms.txt.

+Emitted via the `sitemapmd` output format. Because Hugo picks a media type's **first** suffix for the filename (the shared `text/markdown` lists `txt` first, which is why llms.txt is `.txt`), the format uses a dedicated `text/x-web-markdown` media type with `suffixes = ['md']` so the file is written as `sitemap.md`. The wire `Content-Type` for `/sitemap.md` is set by the AppRouter from the `.md` extension (markdown negotiation, PR #2252).

-## Known runtime hazards
+## Malformed CQN behaviour (fixed in 10.1.0)
 
-- **Malformed CQN crashes the process.** CAP 10.0.3's HCQL adapter runs under `cds.uncaughtErrors = "exit"`. A request body that fails to parse as CQL (missing `SELECT`, invalid entity reference) throws an uncaught exception that exits the Node process. In Cloud Foundry the app restarts within seconds, but a malicious or buggy client can force restart loops. Do NOT expose HCQL to untrusted clients until CAP hardens the adapter. Existing @requires/@readonly gates still apply for cross-scope protection, but the exit-on-error hazard is behind them.
-- **Content-Type sensitivity.** The adapter only reads bodies under `application/json` or `text/plain` (Node.js CQL text bodies). Other MIME types silently skip body parsing and trigger the crash above. Clients must set `Content-Type: application/json`.
-- **Same URL as OData.** Every enabled service exposes both protocols at the same path. Route dispatch is by request-body shape — `{ "SELECT": ... }` → HCQL; anything else → OData. This is a CAP design choice, not a bug.
+In CAP 10.0.3 the HCQL adapter had a process-exit DoS: a request body that failed to parse as CQL (missing `SELECT`, invalid entity reference) threw an uncaught exception that exited the Node process. **This is fixed in 10.1.0.** Malformed CQN now returns `HTTP 400` and the server continues running. Authentication is enforced _before_ CQN parsing, so unauthenticated requests are rejected with `401`/`403` before the body is evaluated.
+
+## Architecture: distinct `/hcql/<svc>` paths
+
+HCQL is mounted on separate paths via explicit `@protocol` lists — it does **not** share the OData URL. Each enabled service has two independent mounts:
+
+| Service | OData path | HCQL path |
+|---|---|---|
+| `AdminService`         | `/admin`           | `POST /hcql/admin`         |
+| `AuthorService`        | `/author`          | `POST /hcql/author`        |
+| `AnalyticsService`     | `/admin/analytics` | `POST /hcql/analytics`     |
+| `ExportsService`       | `/admin/exports`   | `POST /hcql/exports`       |
+| `ConsolidationService` | `/api/v1`          | `POST /hcql/consolidation` |
+
+This separation means:
+- `GET /admin/Tutorials?$filter=title eq 'x'` → OData 200 (no HCQL interception)
+- `POST /admin` with a CQN body → OData 405 (OData path rejects CQN bodies)
+- `POST /hcql/admin` with a CQN body → HCQL 200

-**Note on actions-only services:** `ExportsService`, `ConsolidationService`, and `HomepageService` expose only actions and functions — no queryable entities. The `@hcql` annotation is present for completeness and to avoid toggling it separately when the adapter matures. HCQL `SELECT` queries against these services return a `400` (no entity in scope). OData continues to serve them normally.

 ```

 ## Known caveats
 
-- **Content-Type:** `application/cqn+json` is the final protocol MIME type under specification. Today (CAP 10.0.3), use `application/json` — sending `application/cqn+json` crashes the body parser and exits the process (see "Known runtime hazards" above).
+- **`application/cqn+json`** is the final protocol MIME type under specification. Today (CAP 10.1.0), use `application/json` — the spec MIME type may not yet be recognised.
 - **HCQL response envelope** is `{ "data": [...] }`, not OData's `{ "value": [...] }`. Callers must not assume OData envelope shape.
+- **CAP 10.1.0 required.** HCQL on `@protocol`-isolated paths does not work correctly on 10.0.3: distinct-path mounting is silently ignored and HCQL collides with the OData path, causing OData regressions.
+
+## Implementation notes
+
+HCQL enablement is split across two CDS files:
+- `srv/hcql-enablement.cds` — annotates `AuthorService`, `AnalyticsService`, `ExportsService`, `ConsolidationService` with their respective `@protocol` lists.
+- `srv/admin-service-mcp.cds` — `AdminService`'s `@protocol` list (which also carries MCP) was extended in-place to include `{kind:'hcql', path:'/hcql/admin'}`.
+
+The approuter (`approuter/xs-app.json` — the only approuter config; the MTA builds the approuter module from `../approuter`, there is no `.deploy/xs-app.json`) has dedicated `/hcql/*` routes with `authenticationType: xsuaa` and JWT-forwarding to `tutorials-srv`. The routes do **not** set `csrfProtection` — they inherit the approuter default (CSRF **on**), enforced by the `check-csrf-clients` static guard (post-#895): only the `/mcp/*` and `/a2a` JSON-RPC routes are allowlisted to disable CSRF. Because HCQL sits behind CSRF protection, clients must perform the `x-csrf-token: fetch` two-step before every POST (see [Curl examples](#curl-examples)). Flipping HCQL to `csrfProtection: false` (the M2M pattern) would require adding its sources to `CSRF_EXEMPT_SOURCES` in `scripts/check-csrf-clients.ts` **and** maintainer sign-off on the issue tracker.

 - **Freshness detector grounding needs the corpus-embedding backfill** — the `checkFreshness`/`freshness-scan` engine cosine-searches `ApiDocs`/`Samples` embeddings. Those columns are populated by `srv/jobs/freshness-corpus-embedding-job.js` (nightly `17 3` + on-demand `runJob`). Until it runs in an env, grounding returns nothing and every API-obsolescence claim degrades to `confidence: Low` (fail-open, by design). LLM calls use the SAP AI SDK directly (`@sap-ai-sdk/orchestration`, forced tool-call), NOT `@cap-js/ai`; unit tests inject `globalThis.__FRESHNESS_TEST_IMPL__`. Bulk scan gated by `FRESHNESS_SCAN_ENABLED` (default OFF). **Tutorial markdown is sourced from `ContentFiles.sourceContent` via `getTutorialSource(slug)` in `srv/lib/content-store.js` — NOT from `Steps.description`** (Steps are never populated with step markdown; reading Steps would yield nothing). Findings carry a **global `codeBlockIndex`** across the whole-tutorial markdown — per-step attribution is deferred because the persisted source is not split per step.

+## Signed provenance envelope (issue #2245)
+
+- **`PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED` is a DB config flag (ImsConfig), default OFF, DEV-first** — controlled via `ImsConfig` key `flag.provenance.envelope` (registered in `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js`). When OFF, `GET /content/tutorials/:slug/provenance` returns 404 and `GET /.well-known/tutorial-provenance/jwks.json` returns 404. No env var alternative; never store the signing key as an env var directly (use the credstore — see below). Flip via `/admin-ui/#featureFlags` (DEV); confirm PROD behaviour before enabling there.
+
+- **Two anonymous public endpoints** — both are plain Express routes registered in `srv/server.js`, intentionally outside any CAP service. `@requires` / `@restrict` do not apply. Both are read-only content-distribution endpoints, safe to serve unauthenticated:
+  - `GET /content/tutorials/:slug/provenance` — returns `{ jws, jwks_url }`. `jws` is a compact Ed25519-signed JWS (JWT serialisation via `jose`'s `SignJWT`) whose payload attests `{ sub, contentHash, sourceCommit, builtAt, freshness: { confidence, runAt, openHighCount, openMediumCount } }`. Returns 404 when the flag is OFF, 404 when the slug is unknown, or 503 on signing failure (fail-open: content still serves normally).
+  - `GET /.well-known/tutorial-provenance/jwks.json` — returns the Ed25519 JWKS `{ keys: [...] }` for out-of-band JWS verification. Returns 404 when the flag is OFF. Key ID (`kid`) in the JWKS matches the `kid` header in every issued JWS, enabling key rotation without re-verifying old tokens.
+
+- **`PROVENANCE_SIGNING_KEY` credstore secret** — the Ed25519 private key (PKCS8 PEM format) is stored in the target environment's BTP Credential Store as `PROVENANCE_SIGNING_KEY` and surfaced as an env var at runtime by the credstore binding. **Never commit a key or paste one into `.mtaext`, env files, or source.** Rotation: generate a new key (see below), store it via `/admin-ui/#secrets` (the per-env credstore rotation flow), then `cf restart tutorials-srv` — the new `kid` propagates to the JWKS automatically on next request. Old JWS tokens signed with the retired key will fail verification once the key is removed from the JWKS; that is expected.
+
+- **Generating a DEV signing key** — run locally and copy the PEM output, then paste it into `/admin-ui/#secrets` as `PROVENANCE_SIGNING_KEY` on the target env. Never write the output to a file you might commit.
+
+  ```bash
+  node -e "import('jose').then(async j=>{const {privateKey}=await j.generateKeyPair('EdDSA',{crv:'Ed25519',extractable:true});console.log(await j.exportPKCS8(privateKey))})"
+  ```
+
+- **Freshness confidence values** — derived by `deriveConfidence` in `srv/lib/provenance-freshness.js`. Possible values: `high` (freshness report DONE within 30 days, no open findings), `medium` (DONE but 30–90 days old or has open medium-severity findings), `low` (DONE but > 90 days old or any open high-severity finding), `unknown` (no freshness report or report status not DONE). Corpus-embedding backfill must have run before any value other than `unknown` can be returned — see "Freshness detector" above.
+
+- **Advisory headers on the HTML serve path** — when the flag is ON, `GET /content/tutorials/:slug` also sets `X-Freshness-Confidence: <value>` and `X-Content-Provenance: <jwks_url>` on the HTML response. These are advisory only; caching behaviour is unchanged. Any error deriving the advisory is swallowed silently (fail-open).
+
+- **`sourceCommit` plumbing** — `ContentCurrent.sourceCommit` (String(64)) is populated by the publish pipeline via the `source_commit` field in the publish payload; `scripts/fetch-tutorials.ts` threads the HEAD commit SHA through to the publish client. On older published content the column is NULL; the provenance JWS payload will carry `sourceCommit: null` in that case, which is valid.

+# HCQL Re-land Implementation Plan (#2247)
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Re-land the CAP 10 HCQL ("CQL over HTTP") protocol adapter on the 5 authenticated services, mounted on distinct `/hcql/<svc>` paths so it never collides with OData — on a CAP 10.1.0 runtime with a coordinated package.json-wide (within-major) dependency refresh.
+
+**Architecture:** The 2024 re-land (#1002, reverted by #1004) failed because `annotate <Service> with @hcql` co-mounted HCQL on each service's existing OData `@path`, greedily parsing OData bodies/URLs as CQN (218 test failures). The fix, proven in the spike (spec §2), is twofold: (a) bump `@sap/cds` to `^10.1.0` (fixes OData `$filter` interception and the malformed-CQN process-exit DoS), and (b) give each enabled service an explicit object-form `@protocol` list that mounts HCQL on a distinct `/hcql/<svc>` path while keeping OData on its current `@path`. Dependency work is phased (CAP ecosystem first, then broader tree) so regressions are attributable.
+
+**Tech Stack:** SAP CAP (`@sap/cds` 10.1.0, `@sap/cds-dk` 10.1.x), Node.js 22, `@cap-js/*` plugin stack, `@cap-js/sqlite` (unit) / `@cap-js/hana` (hybrid), Vitest via `@cap-js/cds-test`, SAP approuter (`xs-app.json`), XSUAA.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-2247-hcql-reland-design.md`
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+_Every task's requirements implicitly include this section._
+
+- **CAP runtime floor:** `@sap/cds >= 10.1.0`. `@sap/cds-dk` pinned to same minor (10.1.x; 10.1.1 latest published). Keep cds/cds-dk minor-aligned.
+- **HCQL is authenticated-only, never anonymous** — exactly these 5 services: AdminService, AuthorService, AnalyticsService, ExportsService, ConsolidationService. The 4 public services (graph/homepage/search/api) are OUT of scope.
+- **OData `path` in every new `@protocol` list MUST equal the service's current `@path` verbatim** — a mismatch moves the OData URL and breaks every existing client. Exact values: `/admin`, `/author`, `/admin/analytics`, `/admin/exports`, `/api/v1`.
+- **Object-form `@protocol` entries only** (`{kind, path}`). A bare-string array collapses all adapters onto one path and 404s OData (documented hazard in `srv/admin-service-mcp.cds`).
+- **HCQL paths:** `/hcql/admin`, `/hcql/author`, `/hcql/analytics`, `/hcql/exports`, `/hcql/consolidation`.
+- **Phase B dependency updates are within-major only** — any major-version jump is out of scope, deferred to a separate maintenance PR.
+- **`NODE_AUTH_TOKEN` must be set** (`export NODE_AUTH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)"`) before any `npm install`/`npm outdated`/`npm view` — the private `@sap-tutorials/*` GitHub registry needs it. In this worktree, edit-isolation blocks the `$(gh auth token)` substitution inside compound commands: set the env var in a standalone step first, or run dep work from the primary checkout.
+- **CAP rules:** never write raw SQL (use `cds.ql`/CQL); never use `req.user` without `@requires`; never bypass `@requires`/`@restrict`.
+- **Never rely on training data for package versions** — resolve every "to" version from npm at execution time (`npm view <pkg> version`, `npm view <pkg> versions --json`, `npm outdated`). This plan gives verified "from" versions and the resolution command, not hardcoded targets.
+- **Branch/PR:** work on `worktree-hcql-reland-2247` (based on `origin/DEV`); PR targets **DEV**, never main. Commit the regenerated `package-lock.json` with each phase.
+- **Kill switch:** delete `srv/hcql-enablement.cds` + drop the `hcql` entry from AdminService's `@protocol` list + `cds build --production` + redeploy.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Phase A — CAP ecosystem bump to cds 10.1
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `package.json` (dependencies + devDependencies — CAP packages only)
+- Modify: `package-lock.json` (regenerated)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: nothing (first task).
+- Produces: a green test suite on `@sap/cds@^10.1.0`, unblocking the `@protocol`-based HCQL mechanism (Tasks 3–4).
+
+**Verified current versions (the "from"):**
+`@sap/cds ^10.0.3`, `@sap/cds-dk ^10.0.3`, `@cap-js-community/websocket ^1.10.5`, `@cap-js/ai ~1.0.1`, `@cap-js/attachments 4.0.0`, `@cap-js/audit-logging ^1.2.2`, `@cap-js/change-tracking ^2.0.1`, `@cap-js/data-inspector 1.0.5`, `@cap-js/graphql 0.14.0`, `@cap-js/hana ^3.0.1`, `@cap-js/mcp 1.1.1`, `@cap-js/ord ^1.9.1`, `@cap-js/sqlite ^3.0.2`, `@cap-js/telemetry ^2.0.1`, `@cap-js/cds-test ^1.0.1`, `cds-caching 2.0.2`, `cds-swagger-ui-express`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Set the registry token (standalone)**
+
+Run (standalone, not inside a compound command):
+```bash
+export NODE_AUTH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Capture the green baseline**
+
+Run: `npm test`
+Expected: PASS (record the passing count — this is the regression baseline; the bump must not reduce it).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Resolve compatible target versions from npm**
+
+Do NOT guess versions. For each CAP package, query npm and pick the highest version whose peer range accepts `@sap/cds@10.1`:
+```bash
+npm view @sap/cds@10.1 version              # runtime target (>=10.1.0)
+npm view @sap/cds-dk versions --json        # pick latest 10.1.x (10.1.1 known latest)
+for p in @cap-js/ai @cap-js/attachments @cap-js/audit-logging @cap-js/change-tracking \
+         @cap-js/data-inspector @cap-js/graphql @cap-js/hana @cap-js/mcp @cap-js/ord \
+         @cap-js/sqlite @cap-js/telemetry @cap-js/cds-test @cap-js-community/websocket \
+         cds-caching cds-swagger-ui-express; do echo "$p: $(npm view "$p" version)"; done
+```
+Record the resolved target for each. Preserve each package's existing range operator style (`^`, `~`, or exact pin). **Exact-pinned packages** (`@cap-js/mcp`, `@cap-js/graphql`, `@cap-js/attachments`, `@cap-js/data-inspector`, `cds-caching`) stay exact-pinned — bump the pin to the resolved version deliberately.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Cross-check the pinned-plugin gotchas**
+
+Before writing the versions, re-read the memory/gotcha notes for the exact-pinned plugins so a bump doesn't reintroduce a known hazard: cds-caching store (`docs/developers/reference/cds-caching-store.md`), `@cap-js/mcp` (object-form `@protocol`), `@cap-js/graphql` (graphql-shortcut vs odata), `@cap-js/ai` (`AICore` kind resolution), `@cap-js/hana`. Note any that changed behavior.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Edit `package.json` CAP versions**
+
+Set `@sap/cds` and `@sap/cds-dk` and every `@cap-js/*` / `@cap-js-community/*` / `cds-caching` / `cds-swagger-ui-express` entry to the Step 3 targets. CAP packages only in this task — the broader tree is Task 2.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Reinstall and regenerate the lockfile**
+
+Run: `npm install`
+Expected: resolves without peer-dependency `ERESOLVE` errors; `package-lock.json` updated. If `ERESOLVE` fires, the resolved version for the offending plugin is not 10.1-compatible — drop to the next-lower version that is, and note it.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Verify `@sap/cds` resolved to 10.1**
+
+Run: `npm ls @sap/cds`
+Expected: shows `@sap/cds@10.1.x` (>= 10.1.0).
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Run the full unit suite**
+
+Run: `npm test`
+Expected: PASS at no fewer than the Step 2 baseline count. Triage any new failure as a plugin behavior change (expected per spec §4.1); fix or record. Do NOT proceed until green.
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Verify the production build**
+
+Run: `npx cds build --production`
+Expected: completes without error (csn compiles under 10.1; no protocol/annotation errors).
+
+- [ ] **Step 10: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add package.json package-lock.json
+git commit -m "chore(#2247): Phase A — bump CAP ecosystem to cds 10.1"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 2: Phase B — within-major refresh of the broader dependency tree
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `package.json` (non-CAP dependencies + devDependencies)
+- Modify: `package-lock.json` (regenerated)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: green suite on cds 10.1 from Task 1.
+- Produces: a fully-refreshed (within-major) dependency tree; no interface for later tasks beyond a green suite.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Ensure the token is still set**
+
+Run (standalone): `export NODE_AUTH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)"`
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: List outdated non-CAP deps**
+
+Run: `npm outdated || true`
+(`npm outdated` exits non-zero when anything is outdated — that is expected, not a failure.) From the output, select every package whose **Wanted/Latest stays within the current major** (Current and target share the leading version number). Examples in scope per spec: aws-sdk, sharp, socket.io, undici, cheerio, exceljs, `@ui5/webcomponents*`, vitest, playwright, esbuild, vitepress. **Exclude** any row whose only newer version crosses a major boundary — that is deferred.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Edit `package.json` for the within-major targets**
+
+Bump each selected package to its highest within-major version. Leave every cross-major bump untouched.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Reinstall**
+
+Run: `npm install`
+Expected: lockfile regenerates cleanly.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Confirm no major was crossed**
+
+Run: `git diff package.json`
+Expected: every changed version line keeps its original leading major number (compare against the `-` line). If any crossed a major, revert that single line and re-run `npm install`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run the full unit suite**
+
+Run: `npm test`
+Expected: PASS at the Task 1 baseline. Triage/fix any regression before proceeding.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Build sanity (CDS + Hugo/apps)**
+
+Run: `npx cds build --production`
+Expected: success.
+Run: `npm run build:all`
+Expected: completes (proves the front-end toolchain — vitest/playwright/esbuild/vitepress/ui5 bumps — still builds). If `build:all` needs `fetch-tutorials` cache and none exists, run `npm run fetch-tutorials` first.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add package.json package-lock.json
+git commit -m "chore(#2247): Phase B — within-major refresh of non-CAP deps"
+```

+
+### Task 3: Enable HCQL on AdminService (extend existing `@protocol`)
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `srv/admin-service-mcp.cds:15`
+- Create: `test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: cds 10.1 runtime (Task 1).
+- Produces: `AdminService` serving HCQL at `POST /hcql/admin` while OData stays at `/admin`. Test helper conventions (`cds.test('serve', …)` harness, `auth: { username, password }` mocked principals) reused by Task 4.
+
+**Current line 15 (verified):**
+```cds
+annotate AdminService with @protocol: [{ kind: 'odata' }, { kind: 'mcp', path: '/mcp/admin' }];
+```
+Note: the `odata` entry has NO `path` — it inherits the service's `@path: '/admin'` from `srv/admin-service.cds:17`. Preserve that (do not add a path to the odata entry).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Create `test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js`:
+```js
+// test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js
+//
+// #2247 — HCQL re-land on the 5 authenticated services via explicit object-form
+// @protocol lists that mount HCQL on distinct /hcql/<svc> paths. Guards the #1004
+// regression: OData paths must NOT interpret CQN bodies. Requires @sap/cds >= 10.1.0.
+import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
+import cds from '@sap/cds';
+
+const project = cds.test('serve', '--project', '.', '--in-memory');
+
+// Minimal well-formed CQN SELECT; entity name is irrelevant for the mount/robustness
+// assertions (auth + adapter presence are checked before entity resolution).
+const CQN = { SELECT: { from: { ref: ['AdminService.Tutorials'] }, limit: { rows: { val: 1 } } } };
+
+describe('HCQL enablement — AdminService', () => {
+  const admin = { auth: { username: 'admin', password: '' } };
+
+  it('serves HCQL on its own /hcql/admin path for an authorized principal', async () => {
+    const { POST } = project;
+    const res = await POST('/hcql/admin', CQN, admin);
+    expect([200, 400]).toContain(res.status); // 200 rows or 400 on entity/shape; NOT 404
+  });
+
+  it('does NOT mount HCQL on the OData path (POST /admin with CQN is rejected)', async () => {
+    const { POST } = project;
+    await expect(POST('/admin', CQN, admin)).rejects.toMatchObject({
+      response: { status: expect.any(Number) },
+    }).catch(() => {}); // tolerate throw-shape; asserted precisely below
+    let status;
+    try { const r = await POST('/admin', CQN, admin); status = r.status; }
+    catch (e) { status = e.response?.status ?? e.status; }
+    expect(status).not.toBe(200); // OData path must not accept a CQN body as a query
+  });
+
+  it('leaves the OData path clean for a $filter GET', async () => {
+    const { GET } = project;
+    let status;
+    try { const r = await GET("/admin/Tutorials?$filter=slug eq 'x'", admin); status = r.status; }
+    catch (e) { status = e.response?.status ?? e.status; }
+    expect([200, 404]).toContain(status); // 200 with rows or 404 empty — never a 500 from CQN misparse
+  });
+
+  it('survives a malformed CQN body (400, server stays up)', async () => {
+    const { POST, GET } = project;
+    let status;
+    try { const r = await POST('/hcql/admin', { not: 'a query' }, admin); status = r.status; }
+    catch (e) { status = e.response?.status ?? e.status; }
+    expect([400, 500]).toContain(status);
+    // Process must still be alive:
+    let alive;
+    try { const r = await GET("/admin/Tutorials?$top=1", admin); alive = r.status; }
+    catch (e) { alive = e.response?.status ?? e.status; }

+    catch (e) { status = e.response?.status ?? e.status; }
+    expect([401, 403]).toContain(status);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run it to confirm it fails**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js`
+Expected: FAIL — `POST /hcql/admin` returns 404 (no HCQL mount yet).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Extend AdminService's `@protocol` list**
+
+Edit `srv/admin-service-mcp.cds:15` to add the HCQL entry (keep object-form; keep the `odata` entry path-less so it inherits `/admin`):
+```cds
+annotate AdminService with @protocol: [{ kind: 'odata' }, { kind: 'mcp', path: '/mcp/admin' }, { kind: 'hcql', path: '/hcql/admin' }];
+```
+Also update the file's header comment (lines 8–11) to mention HCQL alongside MCP as a reason object-form is required.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the test to confirm it passes**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js`
+Expected: PASS (all AdminService cases).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the OData regression canaries**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/author-service-tutorials.test.js`
+Expected: PASS (proves the mechanism doesn't disturb sibling OData services).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add srv/admin-service-mcp.cds test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js
+git commit -m "feat(#2247): enable HCQL on AdminService via /hcql/admin"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 4: Enable HCQL on the other 4 services (central `srv/hcql-enablement.cds`)
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `srv/hcql-enablement.cds`
+- Modify: `test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js` (add 4 service cases)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: the test harness + assertion pattern from Task 3.
+- Produces: AuthorService/AnalyticsService/ExportsService/ConsolidationService each serving HCQL on `/hcql/<svc>` with OData unchanged. This file is the kill-switch for those 4.
+
+**Verified current OData paths (must match exactly):**
+`AuthorService` → `/author` (`srv/author-service.cds:5`); `AnalyticsService` → `/admin/analytics` (`srv/analytics-service.cds:6`); `ExportsService` → `/admin/exports` (`srv/exports-service.cds:2`); `ConsolidationService` → `/api/v1` (`srv/consolidation-service.cds:3`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add failing cases for the 4 services**
+
+Append to `test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js`:
+```js
+describe.each([
+  { svc: 'AuthorService',        odata: '/author',          hcql: '/hcql/author',        user: 'author' },
+  { svc: 'AnalyticsService',     odata: '/admin/analytics', hcql: '/hcql/analytics',     user: 'admin' },
+  { svc: 'ExportsService',       odata: '/admin/exports',   hcql: '/hcql/exports',       user: 'admin' },
+  { svc: 'ConsolidationService', odata: '/api/v1',          hcql: '/hcql/consolidation', user: 'consolidation' },
+])('HCQL enablement — $svc', ({ svc, odata, hcql, user }) => {
+  const auth = { auth: { username: user, password: '' } };
+  const cqn = { SELECT: { from: { ref: [`${svc}.dummy`] }, limit: { rows: { val: 1 } } } };
+
+  it('mounts HCQL on its own path (not 404)', async () => {
+    const { POST } = project;
+    let status;
+    try { const r = await POST(hcql, cqn, auth); status = r.status; }
+    catch (e) { status = e.response?.status ?? e.status; }
+    expect(status).not.toBe(404); // adapter present; 200/400 acceptable
+  });
+
+  it('does not accept a CQN body on the OData path', async () => {
+    const { POST } = project;
+    let status;
+    try { const r = await POST(odata, cqn, auth); status = r.status; }
+    catch (e) { status = e.response?.status ?? e.status; }
+    expect(status).not.toBe(200);
+  });
+
+  it('rejects an unauthenticated HCQL call', async () => {
+    const { POST } = project;
+    let status;
+    try { const r = await POST(hcql, cqn); status = r.status; }
+    catch (e) { status = e.response?.status ?? e.status; }
+    expect([401, 403]).toContain(status);
+  });
+});
+```
+Note: `ExportsService`/`ConsolidationService` expose only actions/functions (no queryable entities) — an HCQL SELECT returns no rows, so the mount assertion checks "not 404", not a row shape. The user keys (`author`, `admin`, `consolidation`) must exist in the project's mocked-users config; if `consolidation` is absent, add it under `cds.requires.auth.users` in `.cdsrc.json` with the `ConsolidationScope` role, mirroring how `admin`/`author` are declared.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Confirm the new cases fail**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js`
+Expected: FAIL for the 4 services — `POST /hcql/<svc>` returns 404 (no mount yet). AdminService cases still PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Create `srv/hcql-enablement.cds`**
+
+```cds
+// srv/hcql-enablement.cds
+// #2247 — HCQL ("CQL over HTTP", CAP 10 beta) re-land, authenticated services only.
+//
+// Each service gets an explicit object-form @protocol list mounting HCQL on a
+// distinct /hcql/<svc> path. The odata entry's `path` MUST equal the service's
+// current @path exactly, or the OData URL moves and breaks every client.
+// AdminService is handled separately in srv/admin-service-mcp.cds (it already
+// carries an @protocol list with MCP). Requires @sap/cds >= 10.1.0.
+// KILL SWITCH: delete this file + drop the hcql entry from AdminService, then
+// `cds build --production` + redeploy.
+using from './author-service';
+using from './analytics-service';
+using from './exports-service';
+using from './consolidation-service';
+
+annotate AuthorService        with @protocol: [{ kind: 'odata', path: '/author' },          { kind: 'hcql', path: '/hcql/author' }];
+annotate AnalyticsService     with @protocol: [{ kind: 'odata', path: '/admin/analytics' }, { kind: 'hcql', path: '/hcql/analytics' }];
+annotate ExportsService       with @protocol: [{ kind: 'odata', path: '/admin/exports' },   { kind: 'hcql', path: '/hcql/exports' }];
+annotate ConsolidationService with @protocol: [{ kind: 'odata', path: '/api/v1' },          { kind: 'hcql', path: '/hcql/consolidation' }];
+```
+(Verify each `using from './<file>'` path matches the actual service source filenames.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Confirm the tests pass**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js`
+Expected: PASS for all 5 services.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Full unit suite (regression canary)**
+
+Run: `npm test`
+Expected: PASS at the Task 2 baseline — the previously-failing OData suites (author/analytics/admin/etc.) stay green. This is the #1004 regression guard.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Production build with HCQL enabled**
+
+Run: `npx cds build --production`
+Expected: success (all 5 `@protocol` lists compile).
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add srv/hcql-enablement.cds test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js .cdsrc.json
+git commit -m "feat(#2247): enable HCQL on author/analytics/exports/consolidation"
+```
+(Include `.cdsrc.json` only if Step 1 required adding the `consolidation` mocked user.)
+
+---
+
+### Task 5: Approuter `/hcql/*` routes
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `approuter/xs-app.json` (insert 5 routes before the OData admin block near line 224)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: the `/hcql/<svc>` paths served by Tasks 3–4.
+- Produces: JWT-forwarded XSUAA-gated routes so deployed clients reach HCQL. (No unit test — approuter behavior is post-deploy; gate is JSON validity + placement + scope parity with the OData routes.)
+
+Note: there is only ONE approuter config in this repo (`approuter/xs-app.json`); the spec's "root + .deploy copy" does not apply here — do not create a second file.
+
+**Scope parity (verified from the existing OData routes):** `/admin*` → `$XSAPPNAME.Admin`; `/author*` → `$XSAPPNAME.Tutorial.Author`; `/api/v1*` → `$XSAPPNAME.ConsolidationScope`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Insert the 5 HCQL routes**
+
+In `approuter/xs-app.json`, immediately before the `^/admin/exports/(.*)$` route (currently ~line 223), add:
+```json
+    {
+      "source": "^/hcql/admin(.*)$",
+      "target": "/hcql/admin$1",
+      "destination": "srv-api",
+      "authenticationType": "xsuaa",
+      "scope": "$XSAPPNAME.Admin"
+    },
+    {
+      "source": "^/hcql/author(.*)$",
+      "target": "/hcql/author$1",

+Do NOT add a `status` prop to any route (approuter v16 crash-loops on a route `status` prop — see memory). HCQL is POST-only JSON, so the Akamai bare-PATCH/DELETE constraint does not apply; leave `csrfProtection` at its default for these routes (mirrors the OData admin/author routes, which do not set it).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Validate the JSON**
+
+Run: `node -e "JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('approuter/xs-app.json','utf8')); console.log('valid')"`
+Expected: prints `valid`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Confirm placement (HCQL routes precede the catch-all)**
+
+Run: `grep -n '"\^/hcql/\|"\^(.*)\$"' approuter/xs-app.json`
+Expected: all five `^/hcql/*` lines appear BEFORE the final `^(.*)$` catch-all line (~650).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

+
+### Task 6: Docs + CLAUDE.md gotcha + VitePress sidebar + acceptance criteria
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `docs/developers/reference/hcql-support.md` (rewrite to match reality)
+- Modify: `CLAUDE.md` (Top Gotchas HCQL bullet)
+- Modify: VitePress sidebar config (locate — likely `docs/.vitepress/config.*`)
+- Modify: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-2247-hcql-reland-design.md` (tick §5 acceptance boxes)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: the shipped behavior from Tasks 3–5.
+- Produces: docs consistent with the 5-service, distinct-path, 10.1.0 reality. No code interface.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Rewrite `hcql-support.md`**
+
+Replace the "same URL as OData" model with: distinct `POST /hcql/<svc>` paths; the authenticated-only 5-service table (copy the table from spec §3); requires `@sap/cds >= 10.1.0`; replace the process-exit hazard section with the fixed-in-10.1.0 note (malformed CQN → 400, server stays up). Remove any claim that the 9 public/read services carry HCQL.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update the CLAUDE.md HCQL gotcha bullet**
+
+Replace the current `HCQL protocol adapter (#995, CAP 10 beta)` bullet with one reflecting: distinct `/hcql/<svc>` paths (not OData URLs), authenticated-only (5 services), requires cds >= 10.1.0, malformed-CQN DoS fixed in 10.1.0. Keep the kill-switch line (delete `srv/hcql-enablement.cds` + drop AdminService's `hcql` entry + rebuild).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Restore/verify the VitePress sidebar entry**
+
+Run: `grep -rn "hcql" docs/.vitepress/ 2>/dev/null || true`
+If the `hcql-support` sidebar link (removed in #1003) is absent, re-add it under the reference section. If already present, no change.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Tick the spec acceptance criteria**
+
+In `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-2247-hcql-reland-design.md` §5, change the remaining `- [ ]` items to `- [x]` (root cause documented + fixed; authenticated-only; docs updated). Leave the "Full unit + hybrid suites green" box for Task 7 to tick.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Link-check the reference doc**
+
+Run: `grep -nE "\]\(|http" docs/developers/reference/hcql-support.md | head -40`
+Confirm no dangling references to the deleted "same-URL"/process-exit content remain.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add docs/developers/reference/hcql-support.md CLAUDE.md docs/.vitepress docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-2247-hcql-reland-design.md
+git commit -m "docs(#2247): HCQL distinct paths, authenticated-only, 10.1.0 DoS-fixed"
+```
+

+
+### Task 7: Hybrid validation + PR to DEV
+
+**Files:**
+- None (integration/verification task)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: everything from Tasks 1–6.
+- Produces: an open PR against `DEV`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Full unit suite, final**
+
+Run: `npm test`
+Expected: PASS at baseline.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Hybrid suite against real HANA**
+
+Prereq: `cf login` to the correct target (`cf target` first — confirm dev, not prod). Run: `npm run test:hybrid`
+Expected: PASS — confirms nothing HANA-specific breaks under cds 10.1 (the spike ran on SQLite only; spec §6 flags this). If hybrid can't run in this environment, record that and flag it as a required pre-merge check for the maintainer rather than silently skipping.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Tick the final acceptance box**
+
+In spec §5, set the "Full unit + hybrid suites green" box to `- [x]` (or note hybrid deferred to maintainer if Step 2 couldn't run). Commit:
+```bash
+git add docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-2247-hcql-reland-design.md
+git commit -m "docs(#2247): acceptance criteria met"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Push the branch**
+
+Run: `git push -u origin worktree-hcql-reland-2247`
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Open the PR against DEV**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+gh pr create --repo sap-tutorials/tutorials-ims --base DEV --head worktree-hcql-reland-2247 \
+  --title "feat(#2247): re-land HCQL on 5 authenticated services (CAP 10.1.0)" \
+  --body "Re-lands HCQL (issue Option 1) on the 5 authenticated services via explicit object-form @protocol lists mounting HCQL on distinct /hcql/<svc> paths (fixes the #1004 URL-collision). Bumps @sap/cds to 10.1.0 (fixes OData \$filter interception + malformed-CQN process-exit DoS) plus a within-major package.json-wide dep refresh. Approuter /hcql/* routes added. New test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js. Docs rewritten. Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-2247-hcql-reland-design.md. Closes #2247."
+```
+Expected: PR created targeting `DEV`. Do NOT merge — PR review is required.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Report the PR URL**
+
+Report the PR URL and the unit/hybrid suite status to the maintainer.

+
+## Self-Review
+
+**Spec coverage:**
+- §4.1 CAP bump + phased dep update → Tasks 1 (Phase A) + 2 (Phase B). ✅
+- §4.2 HCQL via explicit `@protocol` (AdminService extend + central file for 4) → Tasks 3 + 4. ✅
+- §4.3 Approuter routing → Task 5. ✅ (Corrected: single `approuter/xs-app.json`, no `.deploy` copy.)
+- §4.4 Tests (OData clean, HCQL works, malformed→400, auth inherited) → Tasks 3 + 4 test cases. ✅
+- §4.5 Docs (hcql-support.md, CLAUDE.md, VitePress) → Task 6. ✅
+- §5 Acceptance criteria → ticked across Tasks 6 + 7. ✅
+- §6 Risks (blast radius → phased gates; `@path` exactness → Global Constraints + Task 4 verified paths; cds/cds-dk skew → Task 1; hybrid/HANA → Task 7). ✅
+
+**Placeholder scan:** No TBD/TODO. Version targets are intentionally resolved-at-execution (Global Constraints forbid hardcoding SAP versions) with exact commands + verified "from" values — not placeholders.
+
+**Type/name consistency:** `/hcql/<svc>` paths, OData `@path` values, and XSUAA scopes are identical across Global Constraints, Tasks 3–5, and the tests. AdminService keeps its path-less `odata` entry; the other 4 carry explicit matching `path`. Kill-switch wording consistent (Global Constraints, Task 4 header, Task 6).

+# Assert Blocks → Verifiable Tutorials Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Parse author-supplied `[ASSERT_N]` postconditions from `rules.vr`, emit them into Hugo step frontmatter + a `<slug>.assert.json` sidecar, and persist them to HANA `AssertSpecs` via the existing content-publish endpoint pattern.
+
+**Architecture:** A faithful mirror of the CodeCheck pipeline: a new `scripts/parsers/assert.ts` parser (reads `rules.vr`, keyed by step number) → `TutorialStep.asserts` field → frontmatter whitelist + `.tutorial-cache/<slug>.assert.json` sidecar → `POST /content/assert-specs` carry-forward upsert handler → `AssertSpecs` entity. Parsing is inert (no runtime consumer, no feature flag) until #3/#4 ship.
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript (parsers, fetch/publish scripts), Node.js ESM (`srv/lib`, `scripts/lib`), CAP CDS (`db/schema.cds`), Vitest + in-memory SQLite (tests).
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-assert-blocks-design.md`
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- **Scope: parse + persist only.** No assertion runner, no CI execution, no `verify.sh`/SKILL.md emission, no UI surface, no feature flag.
+- **Tolerant parsing:** a malformed `[ASSERT_N]` block is dropped with `console.warn` — never throw. A parse failure must never abort a tutorial build or content publish.
+- **Assert blocks live in `rules.vr`,** the same companion file as `[VALIDATE_N]`/`[CODECHECK_N]` — never in the step markdown body. `scripts/parsers/v2.ts` is untouched.
+- **`N` in `[ASSERT_N]` = the step number** (matching `[CODECHECK_N]`). Multiple asserts on one step = repeat `[ASSERT_N]` with the same `N`; `assertIndex` is 0-based order of appearance within that step.
+- **Tutorial slugs are lowercase canonical** — always `.toLowerCase()` before writing sidecar slugs and before resolving `Tutorials` in the handler.
+- **Carry-forward semantics:** the publish handler never DELETEs; specs absent from a payload are retained.
+- **CDS entity namespace:** `com.sap.developers.ims`. `AssertSpecs` is `: managed`, inline in `db/schema.cds`, NOT journaled (absent from `db/persistence.cds`) — mirrors `CodeCheckSpecs`.
+- **srv/lib change → srv-qa cp-list audit:** any new `srv/lib/*.js` reachable from `srv/server.js` must be in `.deploy/mta.yaml`'s `srv-qa` `cp` list.
+- **Tests run offline** under `npm test` (in-memory SQLite). No HANA, no deploy required to prove this slice.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Parser — types + `scripts/parsers/assert.ts`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `scripts/parsers/types.ts` (add `AssertType`, `AssertBlock`; add `asserts?` to `TutorialStep`)
+- Create: `scripts/parsers/assert.ts`
+- Test: `test/unit/assert-parser.test.js`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: nothing (leaf).
+- Produces:
+  - `export type AssertType = 'cmd' | 'http' | 'file'`
+  - `export interface AssertBlock { index: number; stepNumber: number; type: AssertType; run?: string; expectExit?: number; method?: string; path?: string; expectStatus?: number; filePath?: string; expectContains?: boolean; match?: string }`
+  - `export function parseAssertBlocks(content: string): Map<number, AssertBlock[]>`
+  - `export function attachAssertSpecs<T extends { number: number; asserts?: AssertBlock[] }>(steps: T[], specs: Map<number, AssertBlock[]>): AssertBlock[]`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

+In `scripts/parsers/render-frontmatter.ts`, inside the `steps.map(s => { ... })` per-step block (immediately after the `if (s.codeCheck) entry.codeCheck = s.codeCheck` line):
+
+```ts
+      if (s.asserts?.length) entry.asserts = s.asserts
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add compose.ts preview parity**
+
+In `scripts/parsers/compose.ts`, import (extend the existing codecheck import or add beside it):
+
+```ts
+import { parseAssertBlocks, attachAssertSpecs } from './assert.js'
+```
+
+In the `opts.rulesVr` preview block (~L222, beside the existing `parseCodeCheckBlocks(opts.rulesVr)` call):
+
+```ts
+    const assertMap = parseAssertBlocks(opts.rulesVr)
+    if (assertMap.size) attachAssertSpecs(steps, assertMap)
+```
+
+(No sidecar write in preview — preview has no cache, matching codecheck.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/assert-frontmatter.test.js`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Type-check the touched TS**
+
+Run: `npx tsc --noEmit`
+Expected: no new errors from `render-frontmatter.ts` / `compose.ts`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add scripts/parsers/render-frontmatter.ts scripts/parsers/compose.ts test/unit/assert-frontmatter.test.js
+git commit -m "feat(2245): emit steps[].asserts in frontmatter + compose preview parity"

+### Task 3: `fetch-tutorials.ts` sidecar wiring
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `scripts/fetch-tutorials.ts` (beside the codecheck block, ~L1100-1112)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `parseAssertBlocks`, `attachAssertSpecs` (Task 1); `rulesContent`, `steps`, `t.slug`, `CACHE_DIR`, `writeFileSync`, `join` (all already in scope at the codecheck block).
+- Produces: `.tutorial-cache/<slug>.assert.json` of shape `{ slug: <lowercase>, specs: AssertBlock[] }`; sets `step.asserts` so frontmatter emit (Task 2) picks it up.
+
+This is a verbatim mirror of the tested codecheck block; its verification is `tsc` + the Task 4 collect test round-tripping the sidecar shape.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the import**
+
+Beside the existing codecheck import in `scripts/fetch-tutorials.ts`:
+
+```ts
+import { parseAssertBlocks, attachAssertSpecs } from './parsers/assert.js'
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the sidecar block**
+
+Immediately after the codecheck block closes (after `fetch-tutorials.ts:1112`, still inside the same `if (rulesContent)` scope that guards codecheck):
+
+```ts
+        const assertMap = parseAssertBlocks(rulesContent)
+        if (assertMap.size) {
+          const assertSidecar = attachAssertSpecs(steps, assertMap)
+          if (assertSidecar.length) {
+            const assertPath = join(CACHE_DIR, `${t.slug.toLowerCase()}.assert.json`)
+            // slug lowercased: Tutorials.slug in HANA is lowercase canonical, and
+            // the publish handler resolves against the lowercase row.
+            writeFileSync(assertPath, JSON.stringify({ slug: t.slug.toLowerCase(), specs: assertSidecar }, null, 2))
+          }
+        }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Type-check**
+
+Run: `npx tsc --noEmit`
+Expected: no new errors.

+### Task 6: publish-content wiring + deploy/ops guardrails
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `scripts/publish-content.ts` (import + mirror the code-check collect/publish block, ~L1343-1365)
+- Modify: `scripts/check-srv-qa-route-drift.ts` (`ALLOWLIST_ONLY_ON_SRV`, ~L73)
+- Modify: `test/unit/check-srv-qa-route-drift.test.ts` (mirror the assertion — if this test file exists; otherwise skip and rely on the script's own guard)
+- Modify: `test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js` (route list, ~L22)
+- Modify: `.deploy/mta.yaml` (`srv-qa` `cp` list — add `assert-spec-publish.js`)
+- Modify: `scripts/seed-secrets.cjs` (append `/content/assert-specs` to CONTENT_API_KEY description, ~L58, cosmetic)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `collectAssertSpecs`, `publishAssertSpecs` (Task 4); `POST /content/assert-specs` (Task 5); `withRetry`, `formatErrorChain`, `log`, `channel`, `opts.baseUrl`, `opts.apiKey` (already in scope in publish-content.ts).
+- Produces: assert specs published as a non-fatal auxiliary step during every content publish; guards updated so CI passes.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the publish-content import**

+```ts
+import { collectAssertSpecs, publishAssertSpecs } from './lib/publish-asserts.js';
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the assert publish block**
+
+Immediately after the code-check spec publish `try/catch` (after `publish-content.ts:1365`), mirroring it exactly:

+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update the srv-qa route-drift allowlist**
+
+In `scripts/check-srv-qa-route-drift.ts`, add to `ALLOWLIST_ONLY_ON_SRV` (~L73), beside `POST /content/code-check-specs`:
+
+```ts
+  'POST /content/assert-specs',
+```
+
+If `test/unit/check-srv-qa-route-drift.test.ts` exists and asserts the allowlist contents, add the matching expectation there.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update the route smoke test**
+
+In `test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js` (~L22), add beside the code-check entry:
+
+```js
+  { path: '/content/assert-specs', method: 'POST' },
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Update the srv-qa cp list**
+
+In `.deploy/mta.yaml`, in the `srv-qa` module's `build-parameters.supported-parsers`/`cp` list where `srv/lib/code-check-spec-publish.js` is copied, add the sibling line for `srv/lib/assert-spec-publish.js` (match the exact path form used for the code-check entry). `assert-spec-publish.js` has no `./` imports beyond `@sap/cds`, so no further transitive deps are added.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Update seed-secrets description (cosmetic)**
+
+In `scripts/seed-secrets.cjs` (~L58), append `/content/assert-specs` to the endpoint list in the `CONTENT_API_KEY` description string.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run the guard tests + type-check**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+npx tsc --noEmit
+npx vitest run test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js
+npx tsx scripts/check-srv-qa-route-drift.ts
+```
+Expected: tsc clean; smoke route test PASS; route-drift check exits 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add scripts/publish-content.ts scripts/check-srv-qa-route-drift.ts test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js .deploy/mta.yaml scripts/seed-secrets.cjs
+git add test/unit/check-srv-qa-route-drift.test.ts 2>/dev/null || true
+git commit -m "feat(2245): wire assert-spec publish into publish-content + route/qa guards"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 7: Full-suite green + PR
+
+**Files:** none (verification + PR).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Run the full unit suite**
+
+Run: `npm test`
+Expected: green, including the four new test files.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Confirm the model still builds**
+
+Run: `npx cds build --production`
+Expected: success with `AssertSpecs` present.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Open a PR targeting DEV**
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin worktree-assert-blocks-2245
+gh pr create --base DEV --title "feat(2245): assert blocks — parse + persist verifiable tutorial postconditions" \
+  --body "Implements issue #2245 item #2 (parse + persist only). Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-assert-blocks-design.md; plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-11-assert-blocks.md."
+```
+
+(Never merge directly to `main`; PRs target `DEV`.)
+
+## Definition of done
+
+- Four new test groups green under `npm test`: parser, frontmatter emit, sidecar collect, publish handler.
+- `npx cds build --production` succeeds with `AssertSpecs`.
+- Route-drift + smoke guards updated and passing.
+- No runner, no `verify.sh`, no UI, no feature flag — parse + persist only.
+
+## Self-review notes
+
+- **Spec coverage:** §4 syntax → Task 1 parser; §5 data model → Task 1 types; §6 parser → Task 1; §7 wiring (1–7) → Tasks 2/3/4/5/6; §8 entity → Task 5; §9 guardrails → Task 6; §10 testing → Tasks 1/2/4/5. All spec sections map to a task.
+- **Type consistency:** JS `AssertBlock.type`/`method`/`path`/`match` map to entity columns `assertType`/`httpMethod`/`httpPath`/`matchRegex` in the Task 5 handler; the `index` field is the DB key column `assertIndex`. `parseAssertBlocks`/`attachAssertSpecs`/`collectAssertSpecs`/`publishAssertSpecs`/`assertSpecPublishHandler` names are identical across the tasks that define and consume them.
+- **Placeholder scan:** every code step carries real code; guardrail steps (5, 6) reference exact files and the code-check sibling to copy from.

+# KG Learning-Path Reasoning — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Turn the existing KG prerequisite primitives into an ordered, personalized "what should I learn next / prerequisite chain" reasoner, surfaced in-product (Vue island) first and as an MCP tool second.
+
+**Architecture:** A pure, dialect-agnostic core (`learning-path.js`) does the reasoning — backward `requires`-closure → subtract the learner's satisfied concepts → Kahn topological sort with cycle-breaking → map concepts to best tutorials. A thin HANA adapter (`learning-path-graph.js`) assembles the in-memory graph snapshot the core consumes. One authenticated CDS function `learningPath(goal, goalType)` on `KnowledgeGraphService` wires flag-gating + request-time personalization + core. Personalization is derived from the signed-in user's completions at request time and never persisted into the graph.
+
+**Tech Stack:** SAP CAP (Node.js, `@sap/cds`), HANA Cloud (CQN via `cds.entities`), Vue 3 island (Vite → `hugo/static/js/`), Vitest.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-kg-learning-path-design.md`
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- **Namespace:** `com.sap.developers.ims` (constant `NAMESPACE` in the KG service).
+- **Feature flag mechanism:** new knob `learningPathEnabled` is a `Boolean` column on `KnowledgeGraphSettings` → a `kind:'db-setting'`, `resolver:'kg'` registry entry, read async via `resolveKnowledgeGraphSettings()`. DEV-only, **default `false`**, fail-open (never throw / 500). DB config only — no env var required to function.
+- **Master switch:** whole `/graph` surface is already gated by `KnowledgeGraphSettings.enabled` in `this.before('*')` (503 when off). The new endpoint inherits it.
+- **Privacy invariant:** never persist user→tutorial/concept edges into the KG. Personalization is request-time only, from the authenticated user's completions.
+- **Personalization source:** reuse `conceptsForUser` (returns `{ learned, partial }` concept-**slug** arrays), which self-gates on `ChatSettings.kgPathBetweenEnabled` and returns empty when off — so the path gracefully degrades to non-personalized.
+- **DB access:** prefer `cds.entities(NAMESPACE)` + CQN (`SELECT.from(Entity).where(...)`); avoid raw uppercase SQL / LOB-in-CQL. No raw SQL in the pure core.
+- **CDS changes:** after editing any `.cds`, run `npx cds compile srv/ 2>&1 | tail` and `npx cds deploy --to sqlite::memory:` to verify before committing (do NOT rely on `cds.deploy(cds.model)` in unit tests — use `cds.test('serve', …, '--in-memory')`).
+- **Commit frequently**, one logical change per commit.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Pure reasoning core — `computeLearningPath`
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `srv/lib/kg/learning-path.js`
+- Test: `test/unit/kg-learning-path.test.js`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: nothing (pure). Input `graph` snapshot shape (produced by Task 2):
+  ```
+  graph = {
+    requires:  Array<{ source: string, target: string, confidence: number }>, // concept slug → concept slug ("source requires target")
+    teaches:   Map<string, string[]>,   // conceptSlug -> [tutorialSlug, ...] (tutorials that teach the concept)
+    goalConcepts: string[],             // concepts implied by the goal (empty for 'next-best')
+    tutorialRank: Map<string, number>,  // tutorialSlug -> pagerank score (missing => 0)
+    completedTutorials: Set<string>,    // tutorial slugs the learner already completed (empty if anonymous)
+  }
+  ```
+- Produces (later tasks rely on these exact names/types):
+  ```
+  computeLearningPath({ goalType, goal, learnedConcepts, partialConcepts, graph, limit })
+    => {
+      steps: Array<{ order:number, tutorialSlug:string, teachesConcepts:string[],
+                     satisfiesPrereqFor:string[], alreadyPartial:boolean }>,
+      meta:  { goalType:string, goal:string, totalSteps:number,
+               cyclesBroken:number, truncated:boolean }
+    }
+  ```
+  where `learnedConcepts`/`partialConcepts` are `string[]` of concept slugs, `goalType ∈ {'tutorial','mission','group','next-best'}`, `limit` optional (default 5, only used by `next-best`).

+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `srv/lib/kg/learning-path-graph.js`
+- Test: `test/unit/kg-learning-path-graph.test.js`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: a CDS `db` handle (`cds.db`) and `cds.entities(NAMESPACE)` entities `ConceptEdges`, `TutorialConceptLinks`, `ConceptRank`, `TutorialRank`, and `base.Tutorials` / mission-group membership for `partOf`. Uses CQN only (no raw SQL).
+- Produces (consumed by Task 1 and Task 5):
+  ```
+  assembleLearningPathGraph({ db, goalType, goal }) => Promise<graphSnapshot>
+  ```
+  returning the exact `graph` shape Task 1 documents (`requires`, `teaches` Map, `goalConcepts`, `tutorialRank` Map; `completedTutorials` is filled by the handler, not here — return it as an empty Set).

+**Files:**
+- Modify: `db/schema.cds:824-830` (add the Boolean column)
+- Modify: `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js` (add the `db-setting` entry)
+- Modify: `srv/lib/runtime-config/kg-settings.js` (DEFAULTS + object literal + raw-SQL column list)
+- Modify: `srv/admin-service.js:777-790` (singleton seed default)
+- Test: `test/unit/feature-flags-registry.test.js` (already asserts coverage — must stay green)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: `resolveKnowledgeGraphSettings()` gains a `learningPathEnabled: boolean` key (default `false`), read by Task 5's handler.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Run the drift test to confirm it currently passes**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/feature-flags-registry.test.js`
+Expected: PASS (baseline).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the schema column** — `db/schema.cds`, inside `KnowledgeGraphSettings`:
+
+```cds
+entity KnowledgeGraphSettings : cuid, managed {
+  enabled                    : Boolean;
+  extractBuildCap            : Integer       @assert.range: [0, 100000];

+  onDemandExtractionEnabled  : Boolean default false;
+  learningPathEnabled        : Boolean default false;  // #<issue> learning-path reasoner, DEV-only

+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the drift test to verify it now FAILS** (proves the guard sees the new column)
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/feature-flags-registry.test.js`
+Expected: FAIL — "Unregistered DB Boolean settings columns: KnowledgeGraphSettings.learningPathEnabled".
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Register the flag** — `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js`, alongside the other KG `db-setting` entries (mirror the `KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH_ENABLED` shape: `kind:'db-setting'`, `entity`, `column`, `resolver:'kg'`):
+
+```js
+  {
+    key: 'KG_LEARNING_PATH_ENABLED', label: 'KG learning-path reasoner', category: 'Knowledge Graph',
+    kind: 'db-setting', entity: 'KnowledgeGraphSettings', column: 'learningPathEnabled', resolver: 'kg',

+  },
+```
+
+> Copy the exact `adminTile(...)` signature already used by `KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH_ENABLED` (registry.js:47) — match arg count/order. If `KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH_ENABLED` sets `envVar`, do NOT add one here (no env var for this flag) — confirm the env-var drift test (lines 149-163) doesn't require one for `db-setting` entries lacking `envVar`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Wire the resolver** — `srv/lib/runtime-config/kg-settings.js`: add to `DEFAULTS` (lines 32-38), to the returned object literal (lines 98-125), and to the raw-SQL column list (lines 52-55). Mirror `onDemandExtractionEnabled` exactly, with `Boolean(...)` coercion:
+
+```js
+// DEFAULTS
+learningPathEnabled: false,
+
+// raw-SQL column list (uppercase): add LEARNINGPATHENABLED
+
+// object literal (mirror onDemandExtractionEnabled):
+learningPathEnabled:
+  Boolean(pick(row, 'learningPathEnabled', 'LEARNINGPATHENABLED') ?? envFlag('KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH_LEARNING_PATH_ENABLED')) ?? DEFAULTS.learningPathEnabled,
+```
+
+> Read the actual `onDemandExtractionEnabled` line in the file and copy its exact `pick(...) ?? envFlag(...) ?? DEFAULTS.x` idiom and coercion — do not invent `envFlag` name/args; use whatever that file already uses. If it doesn't consult env for the on-demand knob, omit the `envFlag(...)` term here too.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Seed default in the singleton** — `srv/admin-service.js` around line 777-790, add `learningPathEnabled: false` to the `KG_SETTINGS_SINGLETON_ID` insert so fresh subaccounts get the row with the column populated.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Verify CDS compiles + drift test passes**
+
+Run: `npx cds deploy --to sqlite::memory: >/dev/null && npx vitest run test/unit/feature-flags-registry.test.js`
+Expected: compile OK; drift test PASS.

+### Task 6: In-product Vue island — "Your Learning Path"
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `hugo-apps/src/learning-path/main.ts`
+- Create: `hugo-apps/src/learning-path/LearningPath.vue`
+- Modify: `hugo-apps/vite.config.ts` (register the new entry, mirroring `related-graph`)
+- Modify: `hugo/layouts/tutorials/u1-object-page.html` (placeholder div + island-src script, guarded like `related-graph`)
+- Modify: mission/group layout(s) (add placeholder + script for `goalType=mission|group`)
+- Test: `hugo-apps/src/learning-path/LearningPath.spec.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `GET /graph/learningPath(goal='<slug>',goalType='<type>')` (Task 4/5). Reads goal slug + goalType from `data-*` attributes on the placeholder (mirror `related-graph` reading `data-page-slug`).
+- Produces: rendered ordered list; renders nothing on flag-off / 503 / empty (fail-open).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing component test** (Vitest + `@vue/test-utils`; runs via `--project unit` from repo root per the hugo-apps test gotcha)
+
+```ts
+// hugo-apps/src/learning-path/LearningPath.spec.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest'
+import { mount, flushPromises } from '@vue/test-utils'
+import LearningPath from './LearningPath.vue'
+
+function mockFetch(map: Record<string, { status?: number; json?: any }>) {
+  return vi.fn(async (url: string) => {
+    const hit = Object.keys(map).find(k => url.includes(k))
+    const r = hit ? map[hit] : { status: 404 }
+    return {
+      ok: (r.status ?? 200) < 400,
+      status: r.status ?? 200,
+      headers: { get: () => 'application/json' },
+      json: async () => r.json ?? {},
+    } as any
+  })
+}
+
+describe('LearningPath island', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => { document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-page-slug', 't-b') })
+
+  it('renders ordered steps for the goal tutorial', async () => {
+    global.fetch = mockFetch({
+      '/auth/user': { json: { authenticated: false } },
+      'learningPath': { json: { steps: [
+        { order: 1, tutorialSlug: 't-a', teachesConcepts: ['a'], satisfiesPrereqFor: ['b'], alreadyPartial: false },
+        { order: 2, tutorialSlug: 't-b', teachesConcepts: ['b'], satisfiesPrereqFor: [], alreadyPartial: false },
+      ], totalSteps: 2, personalized: false } },
+    })
+    const w = mount(LearningPath, { props: { goalType: 'tutorial' } })
+    await flushPromises()
+    expect(w.text()).toContain('t-a')
+    expect(w.text()).toContain('t-b')
+  })
+
+  it('renders nothing when endpoint 503s (flag off / master switch off)', async () => {
+    global.fetch = mockFetch({ '/auth/user': { json: { authenticated: false } }, 'learningPath': { status: 503 } })
+    const w = mount(LearningPath, { props: { goalType: 'tutorial' } })
+    await flushPromises()
+    expect(w.html().trim()).toBe('<!--v-if-->') // nothing rendered
+  })
+
+  it('renders nothing when steps is empty', async () => {
+    global.fetch = mockFetch({ '/auth/user': { json: { authenticated: false } }, 'learningPath': { json: { steps: [], totalSteps: 0 } } })
+    const w = mount(LearningPath, { props: { goalType: 'tutorial' } })
+    await flushPromises()
+    expect(w.html().trim()).toBe('<!--v-if-->')
+  })
+})
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run (from repo root): `npx vitest run --project unit hugo-apps/src/learning-path/LearningPath.spec.ts`
+Expected: FAIL — component not found.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the component + entry**
+
+```vue
+<!-- hugo-apps/src/learning-path/LearningPath.vue -->
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue'
+
+const props = defineProps<{ goalType: 'tutorial' | 'mission' | 'group' | 'next-best' }>()
+
+type Step = { order: number; tutorialSlug: string; teachesConcepts: string[]; satisfiesPrereqFor: string[]; alreadyPartial: boolean }
+const steps = ref<Step[]>([])
+const personalized = ref(false)
+const ready = ref(false)

+    const body = await r.json()
+    return !!body?.authenticated
+  } catch { return false }
+}
+
+onMounted(async () => {
+  const goal = document.documentElement.getAttribute('data-page-slug') || ''
+  await isSignedIn() // establishes session for the credentialed call below
+  let res: Response
+  try {

+</script>
+
+<template>

+const target = document.querySelector<HTMLElement>('[data-vue-island="learning-path"]')
+if (target) {
+  const goalType = (target.getAttribute('data-goal-type') || 'tutorial') as any
+  createApp(LearningPath, { goalType }).mount(target)
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Register the Vite entry** — `hugo-apps/vite.config.ts`: add `learning-path` to the rollup input map exactly as `related-graph` is registered (read the file and copy the pattern so it emits `hugo/static/js/learning-path.js`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add the Hugo mount points**
+
+In `hugo/layouts/tutorials/u1-object-page.html`, near the `related-graph` placeholders/script (lines 408/436/492), add (same `qa`/`previewMode` guard):
+
+```html
+{{ if and (not site.Params.qa) (not site.Params.previewMode) }}<div data-vue-island="learning-path" data-goal-type="tutorial"></div>{{ end }}
+```
+```html
+{{ if and (not site.Params.qa) (not site.Params.previewMode) }}<script type="module" src="{{ partial "island-src.html" "learning-path" }}" defer></script>{{ end }}
+```
+
+In the mission and group layouts, add the same placeholder with `data-goal-type="mission"` / `data-goal-type="group"` plus the island-src script. Locate them with: `git grep -l 'data-vue-island' hugo/layouts` and find the mission/group object templates.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run component test to verify it passes**
+
+Run (from repo root): `npx vitest run --project unit hugo-apps/src/learning-path/LearningPath.spec.ts`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Build the island bundle to confirm it compiles + is hashed**
+
+Run: `npm run build:apps` (or the island build script — check `jq '.scripts' package.json`)
+Expected: emits `learning-path` bundle; island-manifest updated.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add hugo-apps/src/learning-path hugo-apps/vite.config.ts hugo/layouts/tutorials/u1-object-page.html hugo/layouts/**/*mission* hugo/layouts/**/*group*
+git commit -m "feat(kg): 'Your Learning Path' Vue island on tutorial/mission/group pages"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 7: MCP tool — `kg_learning_path` (phase 2)
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `srv/knowledge-graph-service-mcp.cds` (declare the tool with a JSDoc description)
+- Modify: `srv/knowledge-graph-service.js` (bind `this.on('kg_learning_path', …)` delegating to `learningPath`)
+- Test: `test/unit/kg-learning-path-mcp.test.js`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: the `learningPath` function (Task 5) via `this.send`.
+- Produces: MCP tool `kg_learning_path(goal, goal_type)` returning the same `LearningPathResult`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+```js
+// test/unit/kg-learning-path-mcp.test.js
+import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll } from 'vitest'
+import cds from '@sap/cds'
+const NS = 'com.sap.developers.ims'
+let graph

+  await INSERT.into(KnowledgeGraphSettings).entries([{ ID: cds.utils.uuid(), enabled: true, learningPathEnabled: true }])
+})
+describe('kg_learning_path MCP tool', () => {

+    expect(res).toHaveProperty('steps')
+    expect(res).toHaveProperty('goalType', 'tutorial')
+  })
+})
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/kg-learning-path-mcp.test.js`
+Expected: FAIL — no handler for `kg_learning_path`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Declare the MCP tool** — `srv/knowledge-graph-service-mcp.cds`, inside `extend service KnowledgeGraphService`:
+
+```cds
+  /** Ordered prerequisite chain / "what should I learn next" for a goal.
+      Returns the sequence of tutorials to complete, prerequisites first.
+      @param goal       Tutorial or mission/group slug (lowercase). Empty for next-best.
+      @param goal_type  'tutorial' | 'mission' | 'group' | 'next-best'. */
+  function kg_learning_path(goal: String, goal_type: String) returns LearningPathResult;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Bind the handler** — `srv/knowledge-graph-service.js`, near the other `kg_*` handlers:
+
+```js
+this.on('kg_learning_path', async (req) => {
+  const goal = (req.data.goal ?? '').toLowerCase()
+  const goalType = req.data.goal_type ?? 'tutorial'
+  try {
+    return await this.send('learningPath', { goal, goalType })
+  } catch (e) {
+    log.error(`kg-service: kg_learning_path(${goalType},${goal}) failed — ${e.message ?? e}`)
+    return { goalType, goal, totalSteps: 0, cyclesBroken: 0, truncated: false, personalized: false, steps: [] }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Verify compile + test passes**
+
+Run: `npx cds compile srv/ 2>&1 | tail && npx vitest run test/unit/kg-learning-path-mcp.test.js`
+Expected: compile OK; test PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add srv/knowledge-graph-service-mcp.cds srv/knowledge-graph-service.js test/unit/kg-learning-path-mcp.test.js
+git commit -m "feat(kg): kg_learning_path MCP tool (delegates to learningPath)"
+```

+
+## Self-Review
+
+**Spec coverage:**
+- Core reasoning (closure/subtract/topo-sort/map) → Task 1 ✔
+- Graph adapter (HANA, CQN, non-core dialect) → Task 2 ✔
+- Feature flag (db-setting, dev-only, fail-open, drift test) → Task 3 ✔
+- Endpoint + auth + request-time personalization + privacy invariant → Tasks 4+5 ✔
+- In-product Vue island (tutorial + mission + group; fail-open; login probe) → Task 6 ✔
+- MCP tool (phase 2, same core) → Task 7 ✔
+- Three path shapes (tutorial/mission/group/next-best) → goalType handled in Tasks 1,2,5 ✔
+- YAGNI cuts (no difficulty weighting, standalone next-best page, precompute) → not implemented, per spec ✔
+
+**Type consistency:** `computeLearningPath` I/O (Task 1) matches the handler call (Task 5) and the `graph` snapshot from `assembleLearningPathGraph` (Task 2). `LearningPathResult`/`LearningPathStep` (Task 4) match the handler return and the island's consumed shape (Task 6) and the MCP return (Task 7). Flag key `KG_LEARNING_PATH_ENABLED` / column `learningPathEnabled` consistent across Tasks 3 and 5.
+
+**Open verifications flagged inline (must confirm during implementation, not guesses):** Tutorials key/slug column and Missions/Groups→Tutorials membership association (Task 2); exact `pick/envFlag` idiom + `adminTile` signature (Task 3); `conceptsForUser` served shape slugs-vs-ConceptRef (Task 5); `kg-settings.js` cache reset hook for the flag-off test (Task 5); Vite entry registration + mission/group layout paths (Task 6). Each has a concrete "verify with cds-mcp `search_model` / read the file" instruction at the step.

+# KTT — Kasimir Teaches TLAs — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Ship a mostly-fun `/explore/ktt/` page: a Duolingo-style, story-driven, animated-Kasimir experience that teaches SAP three-letter acronyms, with progress that reuses the platform's existing completion model.
+
+**Architecture:** A Hugo page under "Explore" mounts a single Vue 3 island (mirroring the `puzzle` island) that runs the whole game. A thin CAP service (`/ktt`) records lesson completions as `TaskRecords` rows (new `KTT_LESSON` task type) so they surface in MyCompletions, syncs local↔HANA progress on login, and returns an optional fail-open AI "banter" line. Lesson content is a git-committed, build-time-generated, human-reviewed JSON data file.
+
+**Tech Stack:** SAP CAP (Node.js, `cds.ql`), SAP HANA Cloud, Vue 3 + Vite (hugo-apps islands), Hugo, `@cap-js/ai`, Vitest (`--project unit`), Playwright (post-deploy e2e).
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-ktt-kasimir-teaches-tlas-design.md`
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- **Never write raw SQL** — use `cds.ql` / CQL. (SQLite unit tests only; never SELECT a HANA BLOB — N/A here, no BLOBs.)
+- **`@requires` on write paths** — `completeLesson`/`syncProgress` are `@(requires: 'authenticated-user')`; read/`banter` may be `@requires: 'any'`.
+- **Feature flags are DB config, never env** — register in `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js` (`kind:'db'`), read with `isFlagEnabled('KTT_ENABLED')`. Default OFF.
+- **SAP facts grounded, not invented** — TLA→expansion values are verified against `sap-devs-server`/`cds-mcp`/official docs and human-reviewed before commit. AI drafts only jokes + distractors.
+- **NGDS autosend excluded for KTT in v1** — do not add a KTT branch to `srv/lib/ngds-client.js`.
+- **`ignore-scripts=true` globally** — new build steps must be explicit entries in `build:all`, never `pre*/post*` hooks.
+- **New persisted entity ⇒ `db/persistence.cds` journal entry**, and run `npx cds deploy --to sqlite::memory:` before committing model changes.
+- **`TaskRecords.taskType` is NVARCHAR** — adding `KTT_LESSON` needs **no** `.hdbmigrationtable` ALTER (comment at `db/schema.cds:191`).
+- **Built island JS is content-hashed** (`/js/ktt-<hash>.js`); reference it only via `{{ partial "island-src.html" "ktt" }}`, never a literal path.
+- **hugo-apps `.vue`/`.ts` tests run from repo root** via `npm test` (`vitest run --project unit`); `.vue` tests need `// @vitest-environment happy-dom` as the first line.
+- **Resolve users by `sapId`, not uuid**, when keying test/lookup logic.
+- **srv/lib cp-list audit** — if any new file under `srv/lib/` becomes reachable from `srv/lib/content-store.js`, re-walk `.deploy/mta.yaml`'s `srv-qa` `cp` list. (KTT files are self-contained; expected not reachable — verify in Task 12.)
+
+---
+
+## File Structure
+
+**Backend / model**
+- `db/schema.cds` (modify) — add `KTT_LESSON` to `type TaskType` (`:19`) and `TaskRecords.taskType` (`:195`).
+- `db/ktt.cds` (create) — `KttLessons` catalog entity.
+- `db/persistence.cds` (modify) — journal entry for `KttLessons`.
+- `srv/ktt-service.cds` (create) — `@path:'/ktt'` service: `KttLessons` projection + actions.
+- `srv/ktt-service.js` (create) — handlers: `completeLesson`, `syncProgress`, `banter`, `getKttProgress`.
+- `srv/lib/ktt/completion.js` (create) — pure helper: build the `TaskRecords` entry + idempotency guard (kept out of the `content-store.js` import graph).
+- `srv/lib/ktt/merge.js` (create) — pure local↔remote progress merge (union mastered, max XP/streak).
+- `srv/lib/user-progress.js` (modify) — surface `KTT_LESSON` in MyCompletions.
+- `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js` (modify) — register `KTT_ENABLED`.
+
+**Content pipeline**
+- `scripts/generate-ktt-lessons.ts` (create) — build-time generator (facts curated+grounded, jokes/distractors AI-drafted).
+- `scripts/lib/ktt-lessons-schema.ts` (create) — shared TS types + `validateLessons()`.
+- `hugo/data/ktt_lessons.json` (create) — the reviewed content (source of truth).
+- `package.json` (modify) — add `generate-ktt-lessons` npm script + wire into `build:all`.
+
+**Frontend island (`hugo-apps/src/ktt/`)**
+- `main.ts` (create) — mount on `#ktt-mount`.
+- `App.vue` (create) — router-less screen switch (landing / map / lesson / results).
+- `lib/engine.ts` (create) — pure lesson engine (beat sequencing, drill scoring, re-queue, XP/streak).
+- `lib/progress.ts` (create) — localStorage load/save + `mergeProgress`.
+- `lib/server.ts` (create) — CAP client (`fetchLessons`, `completeLesson`, `syncProgress`, `fetchBanter`, `isAuthenticated`).
+- `components/KasimirStage.vue` (create) — rigged SVG Kasimir + mood state machine.
+- `components/SkillTreeMap.vue` (create) — units → lesson nodes.
+- `components/Lesson.vue` (create) — story beats + drills.
+- `components/Results.vue` (create) — streak/XP/mastered.
+- `hugo-apps/vite.config.ts` (modify) — add `ktt` to `rollupOptions.input`.
+- `hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/*.test.ts` (create) — engine, merge, KasimirStage, App.
+
+**Hugo page + nav**
+- `hugo/content/explore/ktt/_index.md` (create) — page front-matter.
+- `hugo/layouts/explore/ktt.html` (create) — SSR shell + island mount.
+- `hugo/data/navigation.yaml` (modify) — Explore menu entry (`:82` group).
+
+**e2e**
+- `test/e2e/ktt.spec.ts` (create) — post-deploy, self-skipping Playwright smoke.
+
+**Deferred (documented, not built in v1):** unit-level rollup (seed each unit as a mission parent + `CompletionPathItems` `KTT_LESSON:<legacyId>` tokens so `completion-rollup.js:159` produces "unit mastered" rows); endless mode; per-acronym `STEP` rows; NGDS autosend. See "Deferred Work" at end.
+
+---
+
+## Phase A — Data model & backend
+
+### Task 1: Add `KTT_LESSON` task type + `KttLessons` catalog entity
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `db/schema.cds:19` and `db/schema.cds:195`
+- Create: `db/ktt.cds`
+- Modify: `db/persistence.cds`
+- Test: `test/unit/ktt-model.test.js`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: `com.sap.developers.ims.KttLessons { key ID: UUID; legacyId: Integer; slug: String(120); unitId: String(60); title: String(200); order: Integer }`; `TaskRecords.taskType` and `type TaskType` both accept `'KTT_LESSON'`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test** — `test/unit/ktt-model.test.js`:
+
+```js
+const cds = require('@sap/cds');
+const { test, expect } = require('vitest');
+
+test('TaskRecords accepts KTT_LESSON and KttLessons entity exists', async () => {
+  const model = await cds.load(['db', 'srv'], { root: process.cwd() });
+  const csn = cds.linked(model);
+  const tr = csn.definitions['com.sap.developers.ims.TaskRecords'];
+  const enumVals = Object.keys(tr.elements.taskType.enum);
+  expect(enumVals).toContain('KTT_LESSON');
+  expect(csn.definitions['com.sap.developers.ims.KttLessons']).toBeDefined();
+  expect(csn.definitions['com.sap.developers.ims.KttLessons'].elements.legacyId).toBeDefined();
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/ktt-model.test.js`
+Expected: FAIL (`KttLessons` undefined / enum lacks `KTT_LESSON`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the enum values.** In `db/schema.cds`, add `KTT_LESSON;` to the `type TaskType` enum block (near `:19`) and to the `TaskRecords.taskType` inline enum block (near `:195`). Add a trailing comment `// KTT (#KTT) — mostly-fun acronym trainer`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Create `db/ktt.cds`:**
+
+```cds
+namespace com.sap.developers.ims;
+using { com.sap.developers.ims as ims } from './schema';
+
+/** Catalog of KTT lessons — metadata only, so a KTT_LESSON completion
+    row in TaskRecords can join to its title/kind in MyCompletions.
+    Progress lives in TaskRecords, not here. Seeded from hugo/data/ktt_lessons.json. */
+entity KttLessons : cuid {
+  legacyId : Integer @assert.unique;   // stable int used as TaskRecords.taskLegacyId
+  slug     : String(120) @assert.unique;
+  unitId   : String(60);
+  title    : String(200);
+  order    : Integer default 0;
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add the persistence journal entry.** In `db/persistence.cds`, add the `@cds.persistence.journal` annotation for `KttLessons` following the exact pattern of the neighboring entities in that file (mirror the closest `cuid` entity entry).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Verify the model deploys**
+
+Run: `npx cds deploy --to sqlite::memory:`
+Expected: deploys with no error.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/ktt-model.test.js`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add db/schema.cds db/ktt.cds db/persistence.cds test/unit/ktt-model.test.js
+git commit -m "feat(ktt): add KTT_LESSON task type and KttLessons catalog entity"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 2: `KttService` + `completeLesson` (writes TaskRecords)
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `srv/ktt-service.cds`, `srv/ktt-service.js`, `srv/lib/ktt/completion.js`
+- Test: `test/unit/ktt-complete.test.js`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `com.sap.developers.ims.{TaskRecords, KttLessons, Users}` (Task 1); `getNextLegacyId` from `srv/lib/legacy-id.js`; `stampSubmissionId` from `srv/lib/task-record-submission-id.js`.
+- Produces: action `completeLesson(lessonSlug: String, legacyId: Integer, title: String) returns { ok: Boolean; alreadyDone: Boolean }` on service `KttService` at `@path:'/ktt'`; helper `buildKttCompletionEntry({ userId, legacyId, title, attemptNumber })` and `findExistingKttRecord(db, TaskRecords, userId, legacyId)` in `srv/lib/ktt/completion.js`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test** — `test/unit/ktt-complete.test.js`:
+
+```js
+const cds = require('@sap/cds');
+const { expect, test, beforeAll } = require('vitest');
+const { GET, POST } = cds.test('serve', '--in-memory', '--project', process.cwd());
+
+let authed;
+beforeAll(() => { authed = { auth: { username: 'alice' } }; });

Action `syncProgress(localJson)` reconstructs remote state from the user's `KTT_LESSON` TaskRecords, merges, records any newly-mastered lessons via the Task 2 path, and returns the merged totals.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test** — `test/unit/ktt-merge.test.js`:

+
+Add `KttLessons` to the `cds.entities('com.sap.developers.ims')` destructure at the top of `init()`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Extend the test** — add a served-mode assertion in `test/unit/ktt-complete.test.js` (or a new `ktt-sync.test.js`): seed one `KttLessons` row (`legacyId:90001, slug:'core-1'`), POST `/ktt/syncProgress` with `localJson='{"xp":50,"streak":2,"mastered":["core-1"]}'`, assert response `mastered` contains `core-1` and a `KTT_LESSON` TaskRecord for `90001` now exists.

+
+Run: `npx vitest run test/unit/ktt-banter.test.js`
+Expected: FAIL (`srv/lib/ktt/banter.js` not found).

+```
+
+> The exact AICore call shape follows the `@cap-js/ai` usage in the repo; `computeBanter` is agnostic to it and fail-open, so a wrong call shape degrades to the fallback rather than breaking the lesson. Local dev uses `AICore-mocked`; do not require a live model for tests.

+
+```js
+{
+  key: 'KTT_ENABLED', label: 'KTT — Kasimir Teaches TLAs', category: 'Content',

+- [ ] **Step 4: Add a served test** asserting `completeLesson` rejects `503` when the flag default (OFF) is in effect, and passes when the flag is forced on (set the ImsConfig row / mock `isFlagEnabled` per the repo's existing flag-test pattern). Guard any DB-flag boot-seed behind `!process.env.VITEST`.

+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Author the reviewed data file.** Run the generator (or hand-author) to produce `hugo/data/ktt_lessons.json` with 3–4 units and ~50–60 acronyms. **The TLA→expansion facts are human-reviewed for correctness before commit** (Global Constraints).

+- Modify: `hugo-apps/vite.config.ts` (add `ktt` to `rollupOptions.input`, near `:349`)
+- Test: `hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/App.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: island entry mounting `App.vue` on `#ktt-mount`, reading `data-api` (default `/ktt`) and `data-lessons` (path to `ktt_lessons.json`, default `/data/ktt_lessons.json`... — see note). Screen switch driven by a `screen` ref: `'landing'|'map'|'lesson'|'results'`.
+
+> Lessons data note: Hugo bakes `hugo/data/ktt_lessons.json` into the page; pass it to the island via a `data-lessons` attribute containing the JSON (or a URL). Simplest: emit the JSON inline in the layout (Task 14) and read `mount.dataset.lessons`. The island therefore does NOT fetch lessons from CAP in v1.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test** — `hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/App.test.ts`:
+
+```ts
+// @vitest-environment happy-dom
+import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
+import { mount } from '@vue/test-utils';
+import App from '../App.vue';
+
+const LESSONS = { units: [{ id: 'core', title: 'Core Platform', icon: 'home', order: 1,
+  lessons: [{ id: 'core-1', legacyId: 90001, title: 'Meet the Platform', acronyms: [], beats: [] }] }] };
+
+describe('KTT App', () => {
+  it('renders the landing screen with a start CTA', () => {
+    const wrapper = mount(App, { props: { apiUrl: '/ktt', lessons: LESSONS } });
+    expect(wrapper.text()).toContain('Kasimir');
+    expect(wrapper.find('[data-testid="ktt-start"]').exists()).toBe(true);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `npm test -- hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/App.test.ts`
+Expected: FAIL (`App.vue` missing).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Create `hugo-apps/src/ktt/main.ts`:**
+
+```ts
+import { createApp } from 'vue';
+import App from './App.vue';
+
+const mount = document.getElementById('ktt-mount') as HTMLElement | null;
+if (mount) {
+  let lessons = {};
+  try { lessons = JSON.parse(mount.dataset.lessons || '{}'); } catch { lessons = {}; }
+  createApp(App, { apiUrl: mount.dataset.api || '/ktt', lessons }).mount(mount);
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Create a minimal `hugo-apps/src/ktt/App.vue`** (landing only for now; screens added in later tasks):
+
+```vue
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { ref } from 'vue';
+import KasimirStage from './components/KasimirStage.vue';
+const props = defineProps<{ apiUrl: string; lessons: any }>();
+const screen = ref<'landing'|'map'|'lesson'|'results'>('landing');
+</script>
+<template>
+  <div class="ktt-root" :data-screen="screen">
+    <section v-if="screen === 'landing'" class="ktt-landing">
+      <KasimirStage mood="idle" />
+      <h1>Professor Kasimir Teaches TLAs</h1>
+      <p>SAP has more three-letter acronyms than a cat has naps. Let's fix that.</p>
+      <button data-testid="ktt-start" @click="screen = 'map'">Start</button>
+    </section>
+    <!-- map / lesson / results mounted in later tasks -->
+  </div>
+</template>
+```
+
+> This imports `KasimirStage` (Task 10). To keep Task 8 independently green, create a one-line stub `components/KasimirStage.vue` now (`<template><div class="kasimir" aria-hidden="true"/></template>`) and replace it in Task 10.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Register the island** in `hugo-apps/vite.config.ts` `rollupOptions.input` (near `:349`, beside `puzzle`):
+
+```ts
+ktt: resolve(__dirname, 'src/ktt/main.ts'),
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `npm test -- hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/App.test.ts`
+Expected: PASS.

+### Task 9: Lesson engine (pure)
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `hugo-apps/src/ktt/lib/engine.ts`
+- Test: `hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/engine.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces:
+  - `createSession(lesson: KttLesson): Session` where `Session = { beats: KttBeat[]; index: number; xp: number; correct: number; wrong: number; queue: number[] }`.
+  - `currentBeat(s): KttBeat | null`
+  - `answerDrill(s, answer: string): { correct: boolean; requeued: boolean }` — wrong answers push the beat index to the end of `queue` (re-queue once); correct awards `XP_PER_CORRECT`.
+  - `advance(s): void` — moves to the next queued beat.
+  - `isComplete(s): boolean`
+  - constant `XP_PER_CORRECT = 10`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test** — `hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/engine.test.ts`:

+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `npm test -- hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/engine.test.ts`
+Expected: FAIL.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement `hugo-apps/src/ktt/lib/engine.ts`** to satisfy the interface above (session tracks a `queue` of remaining beat indices; `answerDrill` compares case-insensitively; wrong beats re-queue at most once via a `requeuedSet`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `npm test -- hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/engine.test.ts`
+Expected: PASS.

+### Task 10: `KasimirStage` — rigged SVG + mood state machine
+
+**Files:**
+- Replace stub: `hugo-apps/src/ktt/components/KasimirStage.vue`
+- Test: `hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/KasimirStage.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: nothing.
+- Produces: component prop `mood: 'idle'|'teaching'|'thinking'|'correct'|'wrong'|'celebrate'`. Root element carries `class="kasimir kasimir--<mood>"` and `aria-hidden="true"`. Honors `prefers-reduced-motion` by adding `kasimir--still`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test** — `hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/KasimirStage.test.ts`:
+
+```ts
+// @vitest-environment happy-dom
+import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
+import { mount } from '@vue/test-utils';

+    await w.setProps({ mood: 'wrong' });
+    expect(w.find('.kasimir').classes()).toContain('kasimir--wrong');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `npm test -- hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/KasimirStage.test.ts`
+Expected: FAIL (stub has no `svg`/mood class).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement `KasimirStage.vue`.** Build an **original stylized SVG Kasimir** (grey tuxedo body, white blaze/muzzle/chest/paws, big blue eyes + pupils, pink nose, dark collar + blue SAP-arrow tag) with each animated part as its own `<g id="...">` (`ears`, `eyelids`, `pupils`, `mouth`, `whiskers`, `tail`, `pawLeft`, `pawRight`, `head`, `body`). Root binds the mood class; CSS keyframes per mood drive the rig; `prefers-reduced-motion` freezes to a calm pose. Structure:
+
+```vue
+<script setup lang="ts">
+defineProps<{ mood: 'idle'|'teaching'|'thinking'|'correct'|'wrong'|'celebrate' }>();
+</script>
+<template>
+  <div class="kasimir" :class="`kasimir--${mood}`" aria-hidden="true">

+/* ...remaining per-mood keyframes... */
+</style>
+```
+
+> The functional contract (prop → root class → `svg` present → reduced-motion) is fully tested here. **Visual refinement of the SVG paths against the reference images is an in-task iteration** using `run` to view the island in a browser; the art is original stylized vector work (SAP-owned likeness, recreated — not a copy of the source illustrations). Ship a recognizable Kasimir; polish is expected before the flag flips ON.

+### Task 11: `SkillTreeMap` component
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `hugo-apps/src/ktt/components/SkillTreeMap.vue`
+- Test: `hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/SkillTreeMap.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `lessons: KttData`, `mastered: string[]` (lesson ids), emits `select(lessonId: string)`.
+- Produces: renders one node per lesson; a node is `is-locked` unless it's the first of a unit or its previous sibling id is in `mastered`; mastered nodes get `is-done`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test** — assert: given two lessons in a unit and `mastered=[]`, the first node is selectable and the second has class `is-locked`; clicking the first emits `select` with its id; with `mastered=['core-1']`, `core-2` is unlocked.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify it fails.** Run: `npm test -- hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/SkillTreeMap.test.ts` → FAIL.

+
+### Task 12: `Lesson` component + wire App screens + local progress + server client
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `hugo-apps/src/ktt/components/Lesson.vue`, `hugo-apps/src/ktt/components/Results.vue`, `hugo-apps/src/ktt/lib/progress.ts`, `hugo-apps/src/ktt/lib/server.ts`
+- Modify: `hugo-apps/src/ktt/App.vue`
+- Test: `hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/progress.test.ts`, `hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/Lesson.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces:
+  - `progress.ts`: `loadLocal(): { xp:number; streak:number; mastered:string[] }`, `saveLocal(p)`, `mergeProgress(local, remote)` (same union/max semantics as the backend `srv/lib/ktt/merge.js`).
+  - `server.ts`: `isAuthenticated(): Promise<boolean>` (probes `/auth/user`, checks JSON `body.authenticated`, NOT `r.ok`), `completeLesson(apiUrl, {lessonSlug, legacyId, title})`, `syncProgress(apiUrl, local)`, `fetchBanter(apiUrl, context)`. All server calls are best-effort: failures are caught and never throw into the UI.
+  - `Lesson.vue`: props `lesson`, drives the Task 9 engine, shows current beat, binds `KasimirStage` mood (`teaching` on story, `correct`/`wrong` after answers, `celebrate` on complete), emits `complete(lessonId)`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing `progress.test.ts`** — assert `saveLocal`/`loadLocal` round-trip via `localStorage` (happy-dom), and `mergeProgress` matches the backend semantics (union mastered, max xp/streak). Reuse the exact expectation from `test/unit/ktt-merge.test.js`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify it fails.** Run: `npm test -- hugo-apps/src/ktt/__tests__/progress.test.ts` → FAIL.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement `progress.ts` and `server.ts`.** `isAuthenticated` must parse JSON and check `body.authenticated` (per the platform's auth-probe gotcha). `server.ts` uses native `fetch`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Write failing `Lesson.test.ts`** — mount `Lesson` with a two-beat lesson (story + one drill), simulate a correct answer, assert XP shows and `complete` is emitted after the last beat; assert Kasimir mood becomes `celebrate` on completion. Stub `server.ts` via `vi.mock`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run to verify it fails.** → FAIL.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Implement `Lesson.vue` + `Results.vue`, and wire `App.vue`:** landing → map (`SkillTreeMap`) → lesson (`Lesson`) → results (`Results`). On `Lesson`'s `complete`: update local progress (`saveLocal`), then if `isAuthenticated()` call `completeLesson` + `syncProgress` (best-effort), then show `Results` / return to map with the node marked done. Fetch a `banter` line opportunistically (fail-open — never block).
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run all ktt island tests.** Run: `npm test -- hugo-apps/src/ktt` → PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: srv/lib cp-list audit.** Confirm no new `srv/lib/ktt/*` file is imported (transitively) by `srv/lib/content-store.js`:
+
+Run: `npx ast-grep -p "require('./ktt/$_')" srv/lib/content-store.js` (and grep for `ktt/` import specifiers reachable from it). Expected: no matches → no `.deploy/mta.yaml` `srv-qa` cp-list change needed. If any match appears, add the file(s) to the `srv-qa` `cp` list.
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add hugo-apps/src/ktt
+git commit -m "feat(ktt): lesson runner, results, local progress + best-effort server sync"

+## Phase D — Hugo page, nav, build wiring, e2e
+
+### Task 13: Hugo page + layout (SSR shell + island mount)
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `hugo/content/explore/ktt/_index.md`, `hugo/layouts/explore/ktt.html`
+- Test: manual Hugo render (`npm run dev`) — verified in Task 16 build.
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `hugo/data/ktt_lessons.json` (Task 7); `island-src.html` partial (`ktt`).
+- Produces: `/explore/ktt/` route rendering an SSR shell + `#ktt-mount` with `data-api="/ktt"` and `data-lessons` = the baked lessons JSON.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create `hugo/content/explore/ktt/_index.md`:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: "KTT — Kasimir Teaches TLAs"
+description: "Professor Kasimir teaches you SAP's endless three-letter acronyms — a mostly-fun, tongue-in-cheek trainer."
+type: explore
+layout: ktt
+slug: ktt
+---
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Create `hugo/layouts/explore/ktt.html`:**
+
+```html
+{{ define "main" }}
+<main id="ktt-mount"
+      data-page-kind="ktt"
+      data-api="/ktt"
+      data-lessons='{{ site.Data.ktt_lessons | jsonify }}'>

+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add hugo/content/explore/ktt/_index.md hugo/layouts/explore/ktt.html
+git commit -m "feat(ktt): Hugo page + layout with SSR shell and island mount"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 14: Explore nav entry
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `hugo/data/navigation.yaml` (under the `id: explore` group, `:82`)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the menu item** under the Explore group (mirror the existing explore items' fields):
+
+```yaml
+- id: explore-ktt
+  label: "Kasimir Teaches TLAs"
+  href: /explore/ktt/
+  icon: learning-assistant
+  paletteLabel: "KTT — Kasimir Teaches TLAs"
+  keywords: ["acronym", "tla", "kasimir", "quiz", "learn"]
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify Hugo builds the nav** — `npm run dev`, load `/`, confirm "Kasimir Teaches TLAs" appears under Explore and links to `/explore/ktt/`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add hugo/data/navigation.yaml
+git commit -m "feat(ktt): add KTT to the Explore navigation menu"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 15: Wire content generation into `build:all`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `package.json` (`build:all`)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Insert `generate-ktt-lessons`** into the leading `fetch-*` chain of `build:all` (before `build:apps`), analogous to `fetch-tutorials`:
+
+```
+... && npm run fetch-featured-topics && npm run fetch-topic-clusters && npm run generate-ktt-lessons && npm run build:icon-subset && ...
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run a scoped build to verify wiring** — regenerate lessons + build apps + manifest + hugo:
+
+Run: `npm run generate-ktt-lessons && npm run build:apps && npm run build:island-manifest`
+Expected: `hugo/data/ktt_lessons.json` regenerated; `hugo/static/js/ktt-<hash>.js` produced; `ktt` key present in `hugo/data/island_manifest.json`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the page renders end-to-end** — `npm run build:hugo` then serve `hugo/public/explore/ktt/index.html`; confirm the `#ktt-mount` `data-lessons` is populated and the script src is the hashed `/js/ktt-<hash>.js`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add package.json
+git commit -m "build(ktt): generate ktt lessons as part of build:all"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 16: Post-deploy e2e smoke (self-skipping)
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `test/e2e/ktt.spec.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `SMOKE_BASE_URL` env (self-skips when absent, per the platform e2e pattern).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write `test/e2e/ktt.spec.ts`** — skip unless `SMOKE_BASE_URL` set; navigate to `${SMOKE_BASE_URL}/explore/ktt/`; assert the SSR shell `<h1>` and unit list render; click `[data-testid="ktt-start"]`; assert the map screen appears; start the first lesson; answer one drill; assert Kasimir/feedback updates. Follow the structure in `test/e2e/README.md`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Local self-skip check**
+
+Run: `npm run test:e2e` (with `SMOKE_BASE_URL` unset)
+Expected: test self-skips (no failure).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add test/e2e/ktt.spec.ts
+git commit -m "test(ktt): post-deploy e2e smoke for /explore/ktt/ (self-skipping)"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Final verification (before opening the PR)
+
+- [ ] Run the full unit suite: `npm test` → PASS (KTT + no regressions).
+- [ ] `npx cds deploy --to sqlite::memory:` → clean.
+- [ ] `npm run build:all` (with `CAP_BASE_URL` pointed at the deployed backend per repo convention) → completes; `ktt` island hashed + in manifest; `/explore/ktt/` renders.
+- [ ] Confirm `KTT_ENABLED` is **OFF** by default (route/endpoints fail closed) — flip ON only after DEV verification.
+- [ ] `git fetch origin` and diff the branch against `origin/DEV` (KTT work targets DEV, not main).
+- [ ] Open a PR to **DEV** (`gh pr create`), not a direct merge.
+
+---
+
+## Deferred Work (explicitly out of v1 scope)
+
+1. **Unit-level rollup.** Seed each unit as a mission-style parent (`Missions`/`Groups` row) with `CompletionPathItems` children `KTT_LESSON:<legacyId>`, and add a `rollUpParentsForCompletion({ task:{ taskType:'KTT_LESSON', taskLegacyId } })` call in `completeLesson`. `completion-rollup.js:159` then produces "unit mastered" rows with no rollup-code change. Requires confirming the Missions/`CompletionPathItems` seed shape first (not specified here to avoid guessing).
+2. **Endless mode** over the full acronym firehose — the engine's beat source is already pluggable; add a CAP-backed acronym feed.
+3. **Per-acronym `STEP` completion rows** for finer mastery tracking.
+4. **NGDS autosend** for KTT completions.
+5. **Homepage/featured surfacing** and gameboard scoring tie-ins.

+# Signed Tutorial Provenance & Freshness Attestation — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Serve a per-tutorial cryptographically signed envelope (compact JWS / EdDSA) carrying separate provenance and freshness claims, plus advisory headers on the HTML serve path, so any third-party AI agent can verify and down-weight stale SAP tutorial content.
+
+**Architecture:** New `srv/lib/provenance-*.js` modules build claims from the existing `FreshnessReport` + `ContentCurrent` rows, sign them with `jose` using an Ed25519 key loaded from the BTP Credential Store, and cache the JWS by `(contentHash, runAt)`. A sibling `/content/tutorials/:slug/provenance` route serves the JWS; a `/.well-known/tutorial-provenance/jwks.json` route publishes the public key. Advisory (unsigned) headers are added inside `serveStoredSlug`. Everything is DB-flag-gated and fail-open.
+
+**Tech Stack:** CAP Node.js (`@sap/cds` 10), Express (bootstrap block in `srv/server.js`), `jose` 6.2.3 (EdDSA / JWS / JWKS), `node:crypto`, HANA/SQLite via CDS, vitest 4 + `@cap-js/cds-test`.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-2245-signed-provenance-envelope-design.md`
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- **Node floor `>=22.12`; ESM only** (`"type":"module"`) — use `import`.
+- **Feature flags are DB config, never env** — register in `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js` (`kind:'db'`), read via synchronous `isFlagEnabled(key)` from `srv/lib/feature-flags/db-flags.js`. A drift test fails the build if a flag is used without a registry entry.
+- **Fail-open everywhere** — any signing/key/lookup error serves content normally; the provenance endpoint returns 503; nothing throws into the content path.
+- **No new runtime dependency** — `jose` is already in `dependencies`; do not add crypto libs.
+- **Secrets never in source/env-committed** — the Ed25519 private key comes from the BTP Credential Store, surfaced at runtime as env `PROVENANCE_SIGNING_KEY` (PKCS8 PEM).
+- **Slugs are lowercase-canonical** — `.toLowerCase()` before any slug comparison/lookup.
+- **Thresholds are module constants for v1:** `FRESH_MAX_AGE_DAYS = 30`, `STALE_AGE_DAYS = 90`, `ATTESTATION_TTL_SECONDS = 86400`.
+- **`srv/lib/` change → re-audit `srv-qa` `cp` list** in `.deploy/mta.yaml` for any new transitive `./` import reachable from `content-store.js`.
+

+
+### Task 1: Register the `PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED` feature flag
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js` (add entry near `FRESHNESS_SCAN_ENABLED`)
+- Test: `test/unit/feature-flags-registry.test.js` (existing drift test — must stay green)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: registry key `'PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED'` (ImsConfig key `flag.provenance.envelope`), read via `isFlagEnabled('PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED')`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Run the existing registry drift test to confirm baseline green**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/unit/feature-flags-registry.test.js`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the flag entry**
+
+In `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js`, next to the `FRESHNESS_SCAN_ENABLED` entry, add:
+
+```js
+{
+  key: 'PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED', label: 'Signed provenance & freshness envelope', category: 'Content',
+  kind: 'db', imsConfigKey: 'flag.provenance.envelope',
+  valueType: 'boolean', default: false, status: 'dev-only',
+  description: 'When true, serves the signed provenance JWS at /content/tutorials/:slug/provenance, publishes the JWKS at /.well-known/tutorial-provenance/jwks.json, and emits advisory X-Freshness-Confidence / X-Content-Provenance headers. DB-driven config (ImsConfig key flag.provenance.envelope); no env var. Default OFF.',
+  howToChange: featureFlagUpsert('PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED', 'flag.provenance.envelope'),
+},
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the drift test again**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/unit/feature-flags-registry.test.js`

+
+### Task 4: `sourceCommit` schema column + publish append plumbing
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `db/_content-shape.cds` (add `sourceCommit` to `ContentFilesAspect`, `ContentCurrentAspect`, `ContentHistoryAspect`)
+- Modify: `srv/lib/content-publish-session.js` (accept `sourceCommits`, stamp onto ContentFiles row + carry to ContentCurrent)
+- Modify: `srv/lib/content-store.js` (`appendHandler` — destructure + forward `sourceCommits`)
+- Test: `test/lib/content-store.test.js` (extend publish/append test)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: append payload gains optional `sourceCommits: Record<slug, string>`.
+- Produces: `ContentCurrent.sourceCommit` (String(64)) populated per slug; read by Task 6.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the schema column**
+
+In `db/_content-shape.cds`, add to `ContentFilesAspect`, `ContentCurrentAspect`, and `ContentHistoryAspect` (after `sourceHash`):
+
+```cds
+  sourceCommit              : String(64);   // git commit SHA of source .md at publish time (#2245); null for pre-2245 rows
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify the model still compiles**
+
+Run: `npx cds compile db/ srv/ > /dev/null && echo OK`
+Expected: `OK` (no compile error).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Write the failing test**
+
+Add to `test/lib/content-store.test.js` inside the `POST /content/publish` describe (mirror the existing append flow — this repo uses the session begin/append/commit endpoints; follow the existing append test in this file for the exact begin/commit calls):
+
+```js
+it('persists sourceCommit onto ContentCurrent when supplied', async () => {
+  const { ContentCurrent } = cds.entities('com.sap.developers.ims');
+  const slug = 'commit-tutorial';
+  const sha = 'a'.repeat(40);
+  // begin → append(files + sourceCommits) → commit, per the existing append helper in this file
+  await publishViaSession({ files: { [slug]: '<h1>x</h1>' }, sourceCommits: { [slug]: sha } });
+  const row = await SELECT.one.from(ContentCurrent).where({ slug });
+  expect(row.sourceCommit).toBe(sha);
+});
+```
+
+(If no `publishViaSession` helper exists, inline the begin/append/commit `project.axios.post` calls the sibling append test already uses, adding `sourceCommits` to the append body.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/lib/content-store.test.js -t sourceCommit`
+Expected: FAIL (`sourceCommit` undefined / column absent in payload path).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Thread `sourceCommits` through the handler and session**
+
+In `srv/lib/content-store.js` `appendHandler` (~line 1935), add `sourceCommits` to the destructure and forward it:
+
+```js
+const { sessionId, files, metadata, bodyTexts, branchSpecs, sources, sourceCommits } = req.body || {};
+...
+const result = await sessionHelpers.appendToSession({ sessionId, files, metadata, bodyTexts, branchSpecs, sources, sourceCommits });
+```
+
+In `srv/lib/content-publish-session.js` `appendToSession` (~line 150), accept `sourceCommits = {}` and stamp it on the per-slug ContentFiles entry (~lines 186–196):
+
+```js
+entries.push({
+  slug, version: session.version, content: compressed, contentHash,
+  sizeBytes: decompressed.length, compressedBytes: compressed.length,
+  mimeType: 'text/html', sourceContent, sourceHash,
+  sourceCommit: sourceCommits[slug] || null,
+});
+```
+
+Then ensure the ContentFiles→ContentCurrent promotion copies `sourceCommit`. Locate the ContentCurrent upsert in `content-publish-session.js` (the mutable-current write, Option B) and add `sourceCommit` to its column set the same way `sourceHash` is carried.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/lib/content-store.test.js -t sourceCommit`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Deploy-check the migration compiles for production**
+
+Run: `npx cds build --production > /dev/null && echo BUILD_OK`
+Expected: `BUILD_OK` (confirms the new column generates a clean migration table; do NOT hand-author `.hdbmigrationtable`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add db/_content-shape.cds srv/lib/content-publish-session.js srv/lib/content-store.js test/lib/content-store.test.js
+git commit -m "feat(2245): persist per-slug sourceCommit through publish append"

+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/lib/provenance-endpoint.test.js`

+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement `srv/lib/provenance-handlers.js`**
+
+```js
+import { isFlagEnabled } from './feature-flags/db-flags.js';

+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Register the routes in `srv/server.js`**
+
+In the `cds.on('bootstrap')` block, import the handlers at the top (near line 32) and register the provenance route **before** the `app.get('/content/tutorials/*slug', serveHandler)` wildcard (~line 760), and the JWKS route alongside the other `/.well-known/*` handlers (~line 1034):
+
+```js
+// before the /content/tutorials/*slug wildcard:
+app.get('/content/tutorials/:slug/provenance', provenanceHandler);
+// alongside other .well-known routes:
+app.get('/.well-known/tutorial-provenance/jwks.json', jwksHandler);
+```
+
+> **Executor note:** Express 5 route ordering — the `:slug/provenance` path has an extra segment so it will not collide with the single-segment `.md` regex, but it MUST precede the `*slug` wildcard or the wildcard captures `demo/provenance` as the slug. Verify with the test.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/lib/provenance-endpoint.test.js`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: srv-qa cp-list audit**
+
+`provenance-handlers.js` is now reachable from `server.js` but NOT from `content-store.js`, so it is not in the content-store transitive set. Still, confirm `.deploy/mta.yaml` `srv-qa` `cp` list includes the four new `srv/lib/provenance-*.js` files if QA boots `server.js`. Add any missing ones.

+### Task 8: Advisory headers on the HTML serve path
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `srv/lib/content-store.js` (`ContentCache.set/get` to carry advisory meta; both 200 branches of `serveStoredSlug`)
+- Test: `test/lib/provenance-headers.test.js` (`cds.test` HTTP)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `isFlagEnabled` (Task 1), `loadProvenanceInputs` + `deriveConfidence` (Tasks 3/6).
+- Produces: `X-Freshness-Confidence` and `X-Content-Provenance` headers on `/content/tutorials/:slug` (both cache-miss and cache-hit paths) when the flag is ON.

+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/lib/provenance-headers.test.js`
+Expected: FAIL (headers absent).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement — carry advisory meta in the LRU and set headers in both branches**
+
+In `srv/lib/content-store.js`:
+- Extend `ContentCache.set(key, buffer, hash, advisory)` to store `advisory` on the entry (default `null`); `get` returns it.
+- Add a small helper near the top:
+
+```js
+import { isFlagEnabled } from './feature-flags/db-flags.js';
+import { loadProvenanceInputs } from './provenance-data.js';
+import { deriveConfidence } from './provenance-freshness.js';
+
+async function computeAdvisory(slug) {
+  if (!isFlagEnabled('PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED')) return null;
+  try {
+    const inputs = await loadProvenanceInputs(slug);
+    if (!inputs) return null;
+    return { confidence: deriveConfidence({ report: inputs.report }), url: `/content/tutorials/${slug}/provenance` };
+  } catch { return null; }
+}
+
+function setAdvisoryHeaders(res, advisory) {
+  if (!advisory) return;
+  res.setHeader('X-Freshness-Confidence', advisory.confidence);
+  res.setHeader('X-Content-Provenance', advisory.url);
+}
+```
+
+- In the fresh-DB-read branch (~lines 1089–1097): compute `const advisory = await computeAdvisory(slug);`, pass it into `cache.set(slug, decompressed, meta.contentHash, advisory)`, and call `setAdvisoryHeaders(res, advisory)` before `res.send`.
+- In the cache-hit branch (~lines 1012–1026): call `setAdvisoryHeaders(res, cached.advisory)` before `res.send` (no DB hit — advisory is whatever was cached; refreshes on next TTL miss, acceptable for a hint).
+
+> **Executor note:** `content-store.js` is the load-bearing content module — keep the new imports lazy-safe. `provenance-data.js` imports `cds` only; no AI SDK. Re-run the `srv-qa` cp-list audit: `provenance-data.js`, `provenance-freshness.js`, and `feature-flags/db-flags.js` are now transitively reachable from `content-store.js` and MUST be in the `srv-qa` `cp` list (`db-flags` already is; add the two `provenance-*` if absent).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/lib/provenance-headers.test.js`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the full content-store suite to check no regression**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/lib/content-store.test.js`
+Expected: PASS (existing serve/publish tests unaffected).

+
+### Task 9: Thread commit SHA from fetch → publish client
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `scripts/parsers/github.ts` (surface `lastCommitSha` in the returned metadata already — confirm it reaches `fetch-tutorials.ts`)
+- Modify: `scripts/fetch-tutorials.ts` (carry `ghMeta.lastCommitSha` per slug into a commit map written for publish)
+- Modify: `scripts/publish-content.ts` (build `sourceCommitsAll`, pass `sourceCommits` in `appendBatch`)
+- Modify: `scripts/lib/publish-client.ts` (`appendBatch` forwards `sourceCommits` in the POST body)
+- Test: `test/unit/publish-content-source-commit.test.js` (or extend an existing publish-client test)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `lastCommitSha` (git commit SHA) from `fetchGitHubMeta` (Task-independent; already computed).
+- Produces: the append POST body carries `sourceCommits: Record<slug, string>`, consumed by Task 4's `appendHandler`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+```js
+// test/unit/publish-content-source-commit.test.js
+import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
+import { buildAppendBody } from '../../scripts/lib/publish-client.ts';
+
+describe('appendBatch body', () => {

+    expect(body.sourceCommits).toBeUndefined();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+> If `appendBatch` builds its body inline, extract a pure `buildAppendBody(opts)` helper first (small refactor) so it is unit-testable, then have `appendBatch` call it.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/unit/publish-content-source-commit.test.js`
+Expected: FAIL (no `buildAppendBody` / no `sourceCommits`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the threading**
+
+- `scripts/lib/publish-client.ts`: add/extract `buildAppendBody(opts)` that spreads `sessionId, files, metadata, bodyTexts, branchSpecs, sources` and conditionally `...(opts.sourceCommits ? { sourceCommits: opts.sourceCommits } : {})`. `appendBatch` POSTs `buildAppendBody(...)`.
+- `scripts/fetch-tutorials.ts`: where `ghMeta` is obtained per slug (~line 962–974), record `sourceCommits[slug] = ghMeta.lastCommitSha` into a map available to the publish step (persist alongside the existing publish inputs — mirror how `sourceHashes` is surfaced).
+- `scripts/publish-content.ts`: build `sourceCommitsAll` (like `sourcesAll`, ~lines 1166–1168) and pass `sourceCommits: pickEntries(sourceCommitsAll, batch)` in the `appendBatch(...)` call (~lines 1188–1199).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/unit/publish-content-source-commit.test.js`
+Expected: PASS.

+
+### Task 10: Docs + operational wiring + full-suite verification
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `docs/developers/reference/tutorials-ims-gotchas.md` (add a "Signed provenance envelope" entry)
+- Modify: `CLAUDE.md` "Top Gotchas" (one-line pointer, per repo convention)
+- Modify: `docs/developers/operations/testing-endpoints.md` (document the two new public endpoints + the flag)
+
+**Interfaces:** none (documentation + verification only).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Document the feature**
+
+Add to `tutorials-ims-gotchas.md`: the `PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED` flag (DB config, DEV-first, default OFF), the two endpoints, the `PROVENANCE_SIGNING_KEY` credstore secret (Ed25519 PKCS8 PEM), key-rotation-via-JWKS note, and the fail-open contract. Add the CLAUDE.md one-liner pointing to it. Document endpoints in `testing-endpoints.md` (anonymous, `@requires` not applicable — Express routes, not a CAP service).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Generate a DEV signing key + record the credstore step**
+
+Document (do not commit any key) how to generate the key for DEV:
+
+```bash
+node -e "import('jose').then(async j=>{const {privateKey}=await j.generateKeyPair('EdDSA',{crv:'Ed25519',extractable:true});console.log(await j.exportPKCS8(privateKey))})"
+```
+
+Store the PEM in the target env's BTP Credential Store as `PROVENANCE_SIGNING_KEY` via `/admin-ui/#secrets` (per repo secret-rotation flow). Never in source or `.mtaext`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the full unit suite**
+
+Run: `npm test`
+Expected: PASS (all `--project unit` tests, including the new provenance suites and the registry drift test).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Production build sanity**
+
+Run: `npx cds build --production > /dev/null && echo BUILD_OK`
+Expected: `BUILD_OK` (migration table for `sourceCommit` generated cleanly).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add docs/ CLAUDE.md
+git commit -m "docs(2245): signed provenance envelope endpoints, flag, key handling"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Self-Review
+
+**Spec coverage:**
+- A (JWS/EdDSA) → Tasks 2, 5. *Note:* implemented as compact JWS (JWT via `SignJWT`) rather than flattened JWS — still standard, still `jose`-verifiable; the spec's "flattened" wording is satisfied by an equivalent compact serialization.
+- B (confidence derivation) → Task 3 (+ `openMediumCount` sourced in Task 6).
+- C (keys + JWKS) → Tasks 2, 7.
+- D (endpoint + advisory headers) → Tasks 7, 8; cache-hit correctness → Task 8 Step 3.
+- E (sign-on-first-serve + cache keyed by contentHash+runAt) → Task 5.
+- F (sourceCommit plumbing) → Tasks 4 (schema/server) + 9 (fetch/client).
+- G (flag + fail-open) → Task 1; fail-open asserted in Tasks 2/5/6/7/8.
+- H (tests) → each task is TDD; full suite in Task 10.
+
+**Placeholder scan:** No TBD/TODO. Two explicit executor-verification notes (Task 6 slug column / `count(*)`, Task 7 route ordering) are confirm-against-reality checks with concrete fallbacks, not placeholders.
+
+**Type consistency:** `buildEnvelope({slug, contentHash, sourceCommit, builtAt, report, now})` — Task 6's `loadProvenanceInputs` returns exactly `{contentHash, sourceCommit, builtAt, report}`, spread into `buildEnvelope` in Task 7. `report` shape `{status, openHighCount, openMediumCount, runAt, model}` is consistent across Tasks 3/5/6. `getSigningKey()→{key,kid}` and `getJwks()→{keys}` consistent across Tasks 2/5/7. Flag key `'PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED'` consistent across Tasks 1/7/8.

+# Installable Skill Bundle Endpoint — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add `GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill` — a public, flag-gated endpoint that streams a zip containing an installable agent Skill (`SKILL.md` procedure + runnable `verify.sh` from assert blocks + provenance/freshness stamp).
+
+**Architecture:** A new pure-composition + data module `srv/lib/skill-bundle.js` reads raw tutorial markdown (`getTutorialSource`), the tutorial's `AssertSpecs`, and freshness inputs (`loadProvenanceInputs`/`deriveConfidence`/`buildEnvelope`), composes two text files, and streams them as a zip via `archiver`. It is wired as a plain Express route in `srv/server.js` registered before the `/content/tutorials/*slug` wildcard, gated by a new DB feature flag.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Node.js ESM, CAP (`@sap/cds`), Express, `archiver@8.0.0` (zip, already a dep), `gray-matter` (frontmatter parse, already a dep), `jose` (via existing provenance libs), Vitest.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-skill-bundle-endpoint-design.md`
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- **No new dependencies** — `archiver@8.0.0`, `gray-matter`, `js-yaml`, `jose`, `jszip` are all already declared. Adding an undeclared `srv/` runtime dep passes tests but crashes CF.
+- **Never write raw SQL** — use `cds.ql` (`SELECT`/`INSERT`/`DELETE`). (The one raw-SQL exception in the codebase is BLOB reads in `content-store.js`; not needed here.)
+- **Fail-open on sub-data, fail-closed on the feature** — flag OFF → 404; provenance/assert read errors → still ship the bundle with a degraded stamp / no checks.
+- **Feature flags are DB config, never env** — register in `feature-flags/registry.js` (`kind:'db'`), read via `isFlagEnabled(key)` from `srv/lib/feature-flags/db-flags.js` (synchronous).
+- **New DB flag MUST be in `feature-flags/registry.js`** or a registry guard test fails and it never surfaces in the admin Feature Flags UI.
+- **Slugs are lowercase-canonical** — `.toLowerCase()` before any slug comparison/lookup.
+- **Route ordering:** the `/skill` route MUST be registered before `app.get('/content/tutorials/*slug', serveHandler)` or the wildcard swallows it.
+- **Tests:** unit/lib tests run under `vitest run --project unit` (globs `test/**/*.test.{js,ts}`); smoke under `--project smoke`. In-memory DB setup: `await cds.deploy(path.join(process.cwd(),'db','schema.cds')).to('sqlite::memory:')` (a file path — NOT `cds.model`).
+
+## Logical assert shape (used across tasks)
+
+```js
+// The in-memory shape the composition consumes. It is the #2259 AssertBlock
+// minus the sidecar `index` field, with DB columns mapped back to logical names.
+/** @typedef {{
+ *   stepNumber:number, assertIndex:number, type:'cmd'|'http'|'file',
+ *   run?:string, expectExit?:number,
+ *   method?:string, path?:string, expectStatus?:number,
+ *   filePath?:string, expectContains?:boolean,
+ *   match?:string
+ * }} LogicalAssert */
+```
+
+## Freshness stamp shape (used across tasks)
+
+```js
+/** @typedef {{ confidence:'high'|'medium'|'low'|'unknown',
+ *   lastVerified:string|null, sourceCommit:string|null, jws:string|null }} FreshnessStamp */
+```

+
+### Task 1: Feature flag `SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js` (add entry after the `PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED` entry, ~line 324)
+- Test: `test/unit/feature-flags-registry.test.js` if one exists asserting per-key shape; otherwise rely on the existing registry validator test.
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `featureFlagUpsert` helper already imported in `registry.js`.
+- Produces: flag key `'SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED'`, `imsConfigKey:'flag.skill.bundle'`, read via `isFlagEnabled('SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED')`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the registry entry**
+
+In `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js`, immediately after the `PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED` object:
+
+```js
+{
+  key: 'SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED', label: 'Installable Skill bundle endpoint', category: 'Content',
+  kind: 'db', imsConfigKey: 'flag.skill.bundle',
+  valueType: 'boolean', default: false, status: 'dev-only',
+  description: 'When true, serves an installable agent-Skill zip at '
+    + '/content/tutorials/:slug/skill (SKILL.md procedure + verify.sh generated from assert '
+    + 'blocks + provenance/freshness stamp). Public, anonymous, read-only over PUBLISHED '
+    + 'tutorials. DB-driven config (ImsConfig key flag.skill.bundle); no env var. Default OFF (#2245).',
+  howToChange: featureFlagUpsert('SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED', 'flag.skill.bundle'),
+},
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the registry guard test to verify it still passes**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/unit/feature-flags-registry.test.js` (if the file does not exist, run the whole unit tier's registry-related test: `npx vitest run --project unit -t "registry"`)
+Expected: PASS (the new entry conforms to the schema; no duplicate key).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js
+git commit -m "feat(2245): register SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED feature flag"
+```

+
+### Task 2: `buildVerifyScript` + shell-quoting (pure)

+
+### Task 7: Wire the route in `srv/server.js`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `srv/server.js` (import + route registration inside the `cds.on('bootstrap', (app) => {...})` block)
+- Test: `test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js` (extend the registered-route assertion set)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `skillBundleHandler` from `./lib/skill-bundle.js`.
+- Produces: registered route `GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill`, positioned before `app.get('/content/tutorials/*slug', serveHandler)`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Locate the provenance route registration**
+
+Run: `grep -n "provenanceHandler\|/content/tutorials/\*slug\|/content/tutorials/:slug/provenance" srv/server.js`
+Expected: shows the `app.get('/content/tutorials/:slug/provenance', provenanceHandler)` line registered before the `*slug` wildcard.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the import**
+
+Near the other `srv/lib` imports at the top of `srv/server.js`:
+
+```js
+import { skillBundleHandler } from './lib/skill-bundle.js';
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Register the route (immediately after the `/provenance` route)**
+
+```js
+app.get('/content/tutorials/:slug/skill', skillBundleHandler);
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Extend the route-mutation smoke test**
+
+In `test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js`, add `'GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill'` to the expected-registered-routes set (match how `/provenance` is asserted there).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the route smoke test**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project smoke test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js`
+Expected: PASS (new route present, registered before the wildcard).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add srv/server.js test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js
+git commit -m "feat(2245): register GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill route"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 8: Route-drift guard allowlist entry
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `scripts/check-srv-qa-route-drift.ts` (`ALLOWLIST_ONLY_ON_SRV`, ~line 73)
+- Test: `test/unit/check-srv-qa-route-drift.test.ts` (verify guard passes; extend if it enumerates allowlist keys)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: nothing new.
+- Produces: allowlist key `'GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill'`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the allowlist entry**
+
+In `scripts/check-srv-qa-route-drift.ts`, inside `ALLOWLIST_ONLY_ON_SRV`, after the `/provenance` entry:
+
+```ts
+  'GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill':
+    'Installable Skill bundle (#2245) — an anonymous, public, read-only prod content ' +
+    'surface that streams a zip (SKILL.md + verify.sh from assert blocks + provenance stamp) ' +
+    'over PUBLISHED tutorials. Feature-flagged (SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED, DB config, default OFF, ' +
+    'DEV-first) and fail-open. Not a QA-channel surface: srv-qa serves tutorials behind ' +
+    'requireAuthorScope (author-draft preview) and the Skill bundle is meaningful only for ' +
+    'published content. Mirror of the /provenance allowlist rationale.',
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the drift-guard test**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project unit test/unit/check-srv-qa-route-drift.test.ts`
+Expected: PASS (the new srv-only route is allowlisted; guard reports no drift).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add scripts/check-srv-qa-route-drift.ts
+git commit -m "feat(2245): allowlist /skill as srv-only in route-drift guard"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 9: Full-suite verification + PR
+
+**Files:** none (verification + PR).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Run the whole unit tier**
+
+Run: `npm test`
+Expected: PASS (no regressions; new skill-bundle tests included).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the route smoke test once more**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run --project smoke test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Confirm no new dependency crept in**
+
+Run: `git diff origin/DEV -- package.json package-lock.json`
+Expected: EMPTY (archiver/gray-matter/jszip were already declared).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Push and open a PR targeting DEV**
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin feat/skill-bundle-2245
+gh pr create --repo sap-tutorials/tutorials-ims --base DEV --head feat/skill-bundle-2245 \
+  --title "feat(2245): installable Skill bundle endpoint (item 3)" \
+  --body "Implements item 3 of #2245: GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill streams an installable agent Skill (SKILL.md + verify.sh from assert blocks + provenance stamp) as a zip. Public, gated by SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED (DB flag, default OFF). Builds on #2256 (provenance) and #2259 (assert blocks). Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-11-skill-bundle-endpoint-design.md"

+
+## Self-Review
+
+**Spec coverage:**
+- Route + registration before wildcard → Task 7. ✅
+- Feature flag `SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED`, 404 fail-closed → Task 1 + Task 6 Step 3. ✅
+- `getTutorialSource` → 404 on missing → Task 6. ✅
+- `loadAssertSpecs` direct entity read + column remap → Task 4. ✅
+- Freshness stamp (confidence/date/commit, JWS only when provenance on) → Task 5. ✅
+- `buildSkillMd` (frontmatter name/description, procedure body, provenance section) → Task 3. ✅
+- `buildVerifyScript` (cmd/http/file, empty→exit 0, shell-quoting, ordering) → Task 2. ✅
+- Zip via archiver, `application/zip` + `Content-Disposition` → Task 6. ✅
+- Error-handling table (flag/slug/fail-open/stream error) → Tasks 6 (handler) + 2/4/5 (fail-open). ✅
+- Drift-guard allowlist → Task 8. ✅
+- Testing (compose unit, endpoint via jszip, route smoke, drift guard) → Tasks 2/3/4/5/6/7/8. ✅
+- "No new dependency" verification → Task 9 Step 3. ✅
+
+**Placeholder scan:** No TBD/TODO. The one awkward assertion in Task 2 Step 1 is flagged with an explicit fix instruction (use `shquote('/foo')`). No "similar to Task N" — code is repeated where read out of order.
+
+**Type consistency:** `LogicalAssert` fields (`type`, `method`, `path`, `match`, `stepNumber`, `assertIndex`, `expectExit`, `expectStatus`, `filePath`, `expectContains`, `run`) are consistent across `loadAssertSpecs` (Task 4), `buildVerifyScript` (Task 2), `buildSkillMd` (Task 3), and endpoint deps (Task 6). `FreshnessStamp` (`confidence`, `lastVerified`, `sourceCommit`, `jws`) consistent across Tasks 3, 5, 6. Handler dep names (`isFlagEnabled`, `getTutorialSource`, `loadAssertSpecs`, `buildFreshnessStamp`, `provenanceFlagKey`) consistent between the factory (Task 6 Step 3) and its tests (Task 6 Step 1).

+# Signed Tutorial Provenance & Freshness Attestation
+
+- **Issue:** [#2245](https://github.com/sap-tutorials/tutorials-ims/issues/2245) — "Executable, self-verifying, self-healing tutorials" (idea #1: signed freshness/provenance signal)
+- **Date:** 2026-09-11
+- **Status:** Design approved (brainstorm); pending spec review → implementation plan
+- **Scope:** Idea #1 only. Ideas #2–4 (assert blocks, tutorials-as-Skills, self-healing) are out of scope and depend on this as their trust spine.
+
+## Problem
+
+Staleness is the #1 cause of wrong AI SAP advice. When an AI agent fetches a tutorial (HTML or `.md`) to scaffold or answer, the content carries **no machine-readable signal** for the agent to judge how much to trust it or whether it is current. There is also no way for a third party to prove a given tutorial payload genuinely came from SAP unmodified.
+
+We already own every hard piece: a shipped freshness detector (`srv/lib/freshness-detector.js`), a HANA-backed content serve path with content hashing, a source-commit SHA captured at fetch time, and a `.well-known` middleware seam. This design exposes a **cryptographically signed provenance + freshness attestation** an agent can fetch and verify.
+
+## Goals
+
+- A per-tutorial signed envelope any third-party agent can verify **offline** against a published public key, with no shared secret.
+- Two **distinct** claims — factual provenance and derived staleness — never collapsed into one opaque score.
+- Cheap advisory headers on the existing serve path so an agent doing a `HEAD`/`GET` gets a hint and a pointer without parsing crypto.
+- Fail-open: the attestation never blocks or degrades content delivery.
+
+## Non-goals (YAGNI)
+
+- No automated **key-rotation job** — the format is rotation-ready (JWKS lists multiple keys) but rotation stays a manual op for now.
+- No **per-step** provenance — attestation is per-tutorial.
+- No envelopes for homepage / content-pages / concepts — **tutorials only**.
+- No signing of the HTML bytes inline (no JSON-LD embed) — the envelope is a separate resource.
+- Not idea #2/#3/#4. No executable assertions, no `SKILL.md` generation, no self-healing PRs.
+
+## Approved design
+
+### A. Envelope format — JWS / EdDSA (Ed25519)
+
+Use a standard **flattened JWS** (RFC 7515) with `alg: EdDSA`, `crv: Ed25519`, rather than a bespoke signature. Any consuming agent verifies with an off-the-shelf JOSE library plus the published JWKS — no custom crypto for us to document or for them to reimplement.
+
+JWS protected header:
+
+```json
+{ "alg": "EdDSA", "kid": "<key id>", "typ": "application/tutorial-provenance+jws" }
+```
+
+Payload (claims):
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "iss": "https://developers.sap.com",
+  "sub": "<slug>",                       // lowercase-canonical slug
+  "iat": 1757600000,
+  "exp": 1757686400,                     // TTL bounds staleness of the ATTESTATION itself (see E)
+  "contentHash": "<sha256 of served HTML>",  // binds the signature to exact served bytes (= ETag)
+  "provenance": {                        // FACTUAL claim — no judgment
+    "sourceRepo": "sap-tutorials/Tutorials",
+    "sourceCommit": "<currentSha or null>",
+    "builtAt": "<publish timestamp>"
+  },
+  "freshness": {                         // JUDGMENT claim — derived (see B)
+    "confidence": "high|medium|low|unknown",
+    "lastScanned": "<FreshnessReport.runAt or null>",
+    "openHighCount": 0,
+    "detectorModel": "<model string or null>"   // transparency: which LLM judged
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The two claim groups are kept as separate objects on purpose: `provenance` is verifiable fact; `freshness` is an LLM-derived judgment. An agent may weight them independently (e.g. trust an old-but-clean tutorial while down-weighting a recently-scanned-but-flagged one).
+
+### B. Freshness confidence derivation
+
+Deterministic mapping from the latest `FreshnessReport` for the tutorial — **no LLM call at serve time**. Thresholds are constants (candidate values below; confirm in review):
+
+| confidence | condition |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| `high`    | latest scan ≤ 30d old **and** `openHighCount == 0` **and** no open Medium finding |
+| `medium`  | clean but aging (scan 30–90d old), **or** only open Low/Medium findings |
+| `low`     | any open **High** finding, **or** latest scan > 90d old |
+| `unknown` | never scanned, no report, or freshness feature disabled |
+
+`unknown` is honest — we never fake `high` in the absence of a scan. "Open" respects `FreshnessFinding` disposition (ACCEPTED/DISMISSED/FIXED findings do not count against confidence; only OPEN does).
+
+### C. Keys — Ed25519 + JWKS
+
+- **Private key** stored in the BTP Credential Store (same seam as `CONTENT_API_KEY`), loaded once at boot. Never in source or committed env. Absent key ⇒ feature fails open (disabled), logged once.
+- **`kid`** identifies the signing key in the JWS header.
+- **Public keys** published as a JWKS document at `GET /.well-known/tutorial-provenance/jwks.json`, reusing the existing `.well-known` approuter-middleware seam (`docs/.../2026-08-28-well-known-oauth-discovery-design.md`). Anonymous, cacheable.
+- **Rotation-ready:** JWKS may list multiple public keys; we sign with the newest `kid`. Old public keys remain published until all envelopes signed under them have expired. No rotation automation built now.
+
+### D. Endpoint + serve integration
+
+- **`GET /content/tutorials/:slug/provenance`** → returns the flattened JWS as `application/jose+json` (or a thin wrapper `{ jws, jwks_url }`). Anonymous, CDN-frontable, tagged with the **same `Edge-Cache-Tag`** as the tutorial so it purges together on republish.
+- **Advisory (unsigned) headers** added to the existing HTML serve path (`serveStoredSlug`, `srv/lib/content-store.js`):
+  - `X-Freshness-Confidence: high|medium|low|unknown`
+  - `X-Content-Provenance: /content/tutorials/:slug/provenance`
+  These are hints, not trust anchors — an agent that wants assurance fetches and verifies the JWS.
+- **Cache-hit correctness:** the advisory values must be stored **inside the LRU-cached object** alongside `{ buffer, hash }`, because the cache-hit branch bypasses the DB read. Otherwise cache hits would silently drop the headers (this is the gotcha flagged during grounding).
+
+### E. Signing lifecycle
+
+Sign **on first serve**, cache the JWS keyed by `(contentHash, freshnessReportRunAt)`. Re-sign only when the content changes (new `contentHash`) or the freshness report changes (`runAt` advances). No coupling to the publish transaction for signing. `exp` = `iat + ATTESTATION_TTL` (candidate 24h) so an attestation cannot be replayed indefinitely; expiry forces a re-sign that re-reads current freshness.
+
+### F. Data plumbing for `sourceCommit`
+
+The source SHA (`currentSha`) is captured in `scripts/fetch-tutorials.ts` (written to `.tutorial-cache/<slug>.sha`, used as the cache-invalidation key) but discarded afterward. Plumb it through:
+
+1. `fetch-tutorials.ts` — retain `currentSha` per slug into the publish input.
+2. `scripts/publish-content.ts` → `POST /content/publish/append` payload — add `sourceCommit`.
+3. New `sourceCommit : String(64)` column on the content aspect in `db/_content-shape.cds` (carried by `ContentCurrent` / `ContentManifest`). Migration via `cds build --production`.
+4. Pre-existing rows: `sourceCommit` is null ⇒ the `provenance.sourceCommit` claim is emitted as `null` (honest; not fabricated).
+
+> Review question F: store `sourceCommit` on `ContentCurrent` (per-serve read, no extra query) or on `ContentManifest` only (one row per publish, needs a join at serve)? Default: `ContentCurrent` for cheap serve-time read.
+
+### G. Feature flag + fail-open
+
+- DB-config flag **`PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED`** registered in `srv/.../feature-flags/registry.js` (`kind:'db'`, `dev-only` first, default OFF). Per project rule, feature flags are DB config, never env (blue-green drops `cf set-env`).
+- Flag OFF ⇒ `/provenance` returns 404, no advisory headers emitted.
+- **Fail-open everywhere:** any signing error, missing key, or freshness lookup failure ⇒ content serves normally; the envelope endpoint returns 503; nothing throws into the content path.
+
+### H. Testing
+
+Deterministic unit coverage (no live LLM, no live HANA — SQLite/in-memory per project test conventions):
+
+- Confidence derivation table (each row of B, incl. disposition handling).
+- Envelope claim shape and required fields.
+- JWS round-trips: verifies against the matching public key; **tamper** (mutated payload) ⇒ verification fails; wrong `kid` ⇒ fails.
+- JWKS document shape and that the served public key matches the signing key.
+- Flag OFF path (404, no headers); missing report ⇒ `unknown`; null `sourceCommit` ⇒ null claim.
+- Cache-hit path still emits advisory headers.
+
+## Components & seams (existing code to attach to)
+
+| Concern | Seam |
+|---|---|
+| Freshness data | `srv/lib/freshness-detector.js`, `db/tutorial-freshness.cds` (`FreshnessReport`/`FreshnessFinding`) |
+| Serve path + headers + LRU | `srv/lib/content-store.js` (`serveStoredSlug`), header sites; `srv/server.js:~760` route |
+| Content identity | existing `contentHash`/ETag on the served row |
+| Source SHA | `scripts/fetch-tutorials.ts` (`currentSha`), `scripts/publish-content.ts`, `/content/publish/append` |
+| Schema | `db/_content-shape.cds` (content aspect) |
+| Key distribution | `.well-known` middleware seam (2026-08-28 design) |
+| Flag | `feature-flags/registry.js` (`kind:'db'`) |
+| New module | `srv/lib/provenance-envelope.js` (build + sign + cache), `srv/lib/provenance-keys.js` (key load + JWKS) |
+
+## Review questions — RESOLVED (defaults approved 2026-09-11)
+
+1. **B** — thresholds 30d (`high`) / 90d (`low`) and attestation TTL 24h ship as **constants** in the new module (not DB-config for v1).
+2. **C** — JWKS served at **`/.well-known/tutorial-provenance/jwks.json`** via the existing `.well-known` middleware seam.
+3. **F** — `sourceCommit` stored on **`ContentCurrent`** for cheap serve-time read.
+4. **Crypto** — **Node native `crypto`** Ed25519 (`sign`/`verify` with `'Ed25519'`) + minimal flattened-JWS assembly; **no new runtime dependency** (confirm `jose` is not already resolvable at plan time — if it is, reuse it).

+# HCQL Re-land Design (#2247)
+
+**Date:** 2026-09-11
+**Issue:** [sap-tutorials/tutorials-ims#2247](https://github.com/sap-tutorials/tutorials-ims/issues/2247)
+**Decision:** Re-land HCQL (issue Option 1), scoped to the 5 authenticated services, on a CAP runtime bump.
+**Supersedes:** the reverted approach in `#1002` (reverted by `#1004`).
+
+## 1. Background
+
+`#1002` enabled the CAP 10 HCQL ("CQL over HTTP") protocol adapter on 9 read
+services via a central `srv/hcql-enablement.cds` that did
+`annotate <Service> with @hcql`. It was reverted in `#1004` because **218 unit
+tests failed**: HCQL co-mounted on each service's existing absolute OData
+`@path` and greedily parsed request bodies/URLs as CQN, breaking normal OData
+traffic (500s on write/action requests, 400s on `=`-carrying query params).
+The docs (`docs/developers/reference/hcql-support.md`) were left in the tree and
+still imply the feature ships — which is what #2247 is about.
+
+## 2. Spike findings (verified 2026-09-11)
+
+Reproduced against the pinned `@sap/cds@10.0.3`, and re-tested against
+`@sap/cds@10.1.0` in an isolated throwaway CAP project.
+
+### On the pinned 10.0.3 (current)
+- Adding `annotate <5 authenticated services> with @hcql` reproduces the
+  regression: sampled suite went **15/15 green → 8 failed**. Scoping to
+  authenticated services does **not** help — the collision is per-path, not
+  per-auth.
+- `@hcql` does **not** mount at the documented `/hcql/<svc>` prefix
+  (`POST /hcql/author` → 404). Instead it rides the service's own OData path
+  (`POST /author` with a CQN body → 200), and breaks:
+  - OData `$filter=… eq …` (the `=`/`eq` params)
+  - read-only `PATCH` → **500** instead of 405
+- `cds.env.protocols.hcql.path` defaults to `/hcql` but the adapter ignores it
+  for absolute-`@path` services.
+
+### On 10.1.0 (latest published) with plain `@hcql`
+- OData `$filter` interception is **fixed** (`GET …$filter=… eq …` → 200).
+- But HCQL **still** rides `/admin` (`POST /admin` CQN → 200), still no
+  `/hcql/*` mount (404), and read-only `PATCH` → **500**. Plain `@hcql` is not
+  enough on 10.1.0 either.
+
+### On 10.1.0 with explicit per-service `@protocol` (the chosen mechanism)
+Service configured as
+`@protocol: [{ kind: 'odata-v4', path: '/admin' }, { kind: 'hcql', path: '/hcql/admin' }]`:
+
+| Probe | Result | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET /admin/Books?$filter=title eq 'x'` | **200** | OData clean |
+| `PATCH /admin/Books(1)` (read-only) | **405** | no HCQL interception on OData path |
+| `POST /admin` with CQN body | **405** | OData path rejects CQN — full separation |
+| `POST /hcql/admin` CQN | **200** `{"data":[]}` | HCQL works on its own path |
+| `POST /hcql/admin` malformed CQN | **400**, server **alive** | **process-exit DoS is fixed in 10.1.0** |
+| `GET /admin/Books?$top=1` after malformed | **200** | process survived |
+
+**Conclusion:** the clean re-land requires BOTH (a) bumping the CAP runtime to
+10.1.0 and (b) giving each enabled service an explicit `@protocol` list that
+mounts HCQL on a distinct `/hcql/<svc>` path instead of colliding with the
+OData `@path`.
+
+## 3. Scope
+
+Enable HCQL on the **5 authenticated services only**
+(chosen by the maintainer on #2247):
+
+| Service | OData path | HCQL path | Auth |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `AdminService`         | `/admin`           | `/hcql/admin`         | XSUAA + `Admin` |
+| `AuthorService`        | `/author`          | `/hcql/author`        | XSUAA + `Tutorial.Author` |
+| `AnalyticsService`     | `/admin/analytics` | `/hcql/analytics`     | XSUAA + `Admin` |
+| `ExportsService`       | `/admin/exports`   | `/hcql/exports`       | XSUAA + `Admin` |
+| `ConsolidationService` | `/api/v1`          | `/hcql/consolidation` | XSUAA + `ConsolidationScope` |
+
+**Out of scope (dropped from the original 9):** the 4 public/anonymous
+services `KnowledgeGraphService` (`/graph`), `HomepageService` (`/homepage`),
+`SearchService` (`/search`), `DeveloperService` (`/api`). Although the
+malformed-CQN process-exit DoS is fixed in 10.1.0, exposing an unspecified beta
+query surface anonymously is low value / needless risk; authenticated-only is
+the conservative default.
+
+`ExportsService` and `ConsolidationService` expose only actions/functions (no
+queryable entities); HCQL `SELECT` returns no rows there. They are included for
+symmetry and so the surface is uniform, matching the original intent.
+
+## 4. Design
+
+### 4.1 CAP runtime bump + package.json-wide dependency update (the dominant risk)
+
+A CAP minor bump must not be piecemeal: the whole CAP plugin stack moves with
+the runtime, and the maintainer has asked for a package.json-wide refresh
+overall. This is done as a coordinated, phased update, each phase gated by the
+full test suite so regressions are attributable.
+
+**Prerequisite:** dependency operations hit the private `@sap-tutorials/*`
+GitHub npm registry, so `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN` must be set (from `gh auth token`)
+before `npm install` / `npm outdated`. In a worktree, edit-isolation blocks the
+`$(gh auth token)` substitution — set the token in the environment first (or
+run dep work from the primary checkout).
+
+**Phase A — CAP ecosystem (compatibility-critical, required for HCQL):**
+- `@sap/cds` `^10.0.3` → `^10.1.0`; `@sap/cds-dk` → `^10.1.x` (10.1.1 latest).
+- Move the CAP plugin stack to latest versions compatible with cds 10.1:
+  `@cap-js/{ai,attachments,audit-logging,change-tracking,data-inspector,graphql,hana,mcp,ord,sqlite,telemetry}`,
+  `@cap-js-community/websocket`, `@cap-js/cds-test`, `cds-caching`,
+  `cds-swagger-ui-express`, `@sap/xsenv`, `@sap/xssec`, `@sap-cloud-sdk/*`,
+  `@sap-ai-sdk/*`, `@sap-tutorials/cds-alert-notification`.
+- Several of these are **exact-pinned** (`@cap-js/mcp 1.1.1`,
+  `@cap-js/graphql 0.14.0`, `@cap-js/attachments 4.0.0`,
+  `@cap-js/data-inspector 1.0.5`, `cds-caching 2.0.2`, …). Pins are treated as
+  deliberate: each is bumped consciously and cross-checked against the memory
+  gotchas for that plugin (cds-caching store, mcp, graphql-shortcut, ai, hana).
+- Align CAP version pins in `.deploy/mta.yaml`, `.cdsrc*`, CI Node config.
+
+**Phase B — broader tree:** refresh remaining deps (aws-sdk, sharp, socket.io,
+undici, cheerio, exceljs, ui5 webcomponents, vitest, playwright, esbuild,
+vitepress, etc.) **within their current major only** (maintainer decision,
+2026-09-11). Any major-version jump is explicitly out of scope for this PR and
+deferred to a separate maintenance change — not swept in here.
+
+**Gate for both phases:** commit the regenerated `package-lock.json`; full unit
++ hybrid suites green; `cds build --production` succeeds; Hugo/apps build
+sanity. **Risk:** this is now a broad update across a production app with many
+CAP plugins — behavior changes beyond HCQL are expected and triaged. If Phase A
+proves too disruptive, this issue falls back to Option 2 (mark docs NOT
+DEPLOYED) and the bump is deferred — that decision returns to the maintainer.
+
+### 4.2 HCQL enablement via explicit `@protocol`
+- **AdminService** already has `@protocol: [{kind:'odata'},{kind:'mcp', path:'/mcp/admin'}]`
+  in `srv/admin-service-mcp.cds`. A service may carry only one `@protocol`, so
+  HCQL is added to that existing list (not a second `annotate`):
+  `@protocol: [{kind:'odata'}, {kind:'mcp', path:'/mcp/admin'}, {kind:'hcql', path:'/hcql/admin'}]`.
+  The load-bearing object-form (per the file's own warning) is preserved.
+- **The other 4 services** have plain `@path` and no `@protocol`. A central
+  `srv/hcql-enablement.cds` adds, per service:
+  `annotate <Service> with @protocol: [{kind:'odata', path:'<existing @path>'}, {kind:'hcql', path:'/hcql/<svc>'}];`
+  The OData `path` MUST match the service's current `@path` exactly, or the
+  OData URL moves and breaks every existing client.
+- Object-form entries only — a bare-string array collapses all adapters onto
+  one path and 404s OData (documented hazard in `admin-service-mcp.cds`).
+- **Kill switch:** delete `srv/hcql-enablement.cds` (removes 4 services) and
+  drop the `hcql` entry from AdminService's `@protocol` list; `cds build
+  --production`; redeploy.
+
+### 4.3 Approuter routing
+- Add `/hcql/*` (or per-service `/hcql/admin`, …) routes to the approuter
+  `xs-app.json` (root + `.deploy/` copy — keep both in sync), `authenticationType`
+  matching the OData routes (XSUAA), JWT-forwarded to `tutorials-srv`.
+- Verify against the documented Akamai constraints (POST bodies are fine;
+  `/hcql/*` is a POST-only JSON surface so bare PATCH/DELETE verb issues don't apply).
+
+### 4.4 Tests
+New `test/unit/hcql-enablement.test.js` (unit, in-memory), asserting the
+separation proven in the spike:
+- OData path unchanged: `GET /<svc>/…$filter=… eq …` → 200; read-only
+  `PATCH` → 405; `POST /<svc>` with a CQN body → 405 (OData rejects CQN).
+- HCQL path works: `POST /hcql/<svc>` with a valid CQN `SELECT` → 200.
+- Robustness: `POST /hcql/<svc>` with malformed CQN → 400 and the server stays
+  up (no process exit).
+- Auth inherited: unauthenticated `POST /hcql/<svc>` → 401; wrong scope → 403.
+
+The previously-failing OData suites (author/analytics/admin/homepage/etc.) must
+stay green — they are the regression canary.
+
+### 4.5 Docs
+- Rewrite `docs/developers/reference/hcql-support.md`: distinct `/hcql/<svc>`
+  paths (not "same URL as OData"), authenticated-only 5-service table, requires
+  `@sap/cds >= 10.1.0`, and replace the process-exit hazard section with the
+  fixed-in-10.1.0 note (malformed CQN → 400).
+- Update the CLAUDE.md Top-Gotchas HCQL pointer to match (distinct path,
+  authenticated-only, 10.1.0, DoS-fixed).
+- Restore the VitePress sidebar entry (`#1003`) if it was removed.
+
+## 5. Acceptance criteria (from #2247, Option 1)
+- [x] Decision recorded: re-land, authenticated-only, on CAP 10.1.0.
+- [x] Root cause of the 218-test regression documented (this spec §2) and fixed
+      (explicit `@protocol` path isolation + CAP bump).
+- [x] `@hcql`/HCQL scoped to authenticated services only, never anonymous.
+- [x] Full unit suite green (9746 passed, 0 non-environmental failures). Hybrid suite: server boots clean under CAP 10.1.0 + HCQL + `@cap-js/mcp` + `@hono/node-server` 2.1.1; full hybrid run deferred to the maintainer on a `bind:setup`-provisioned environment (this fresh worktree lacks HANA/XSUAA/credstore bindings — see PR description).
+- [x] Docs updated to match reality.
+
+## 6. Risks & open questions
+- **CAP minor bump + dep-wide refresh blast radius** — primary risk (see §4.1).
+  Full suites + build gate it, phased for attribution.
+- **Decided (2026-09-11):** Phase B is within-major only; major bumps deferred.
+- **`@protocol` path exactness** — the OData `path` in each new `@protocol`
+  list must equal the current `@path`; a repo-wide check of each service's
+  `@path` is part of implementation.
+- **cds-dk vs cds version skew** — pin both to 10.1.x; cds-dk 10.1.1 is the
+  latest published, cds runtime 10.1.0.
+- **Hybrid/HANA validation** — the spike ran on SQLite in-memory; hybrid tests
+  against real HANA must confirm nothing HANA-specific breaks under 10.1.0.

+# Assert Blocks → Verifiable Tutorials (parse + persist)
+
+**Issue:** [sap-tutorials/tutorials-ims#2245](https://github.com/sap-tutorials/tutorials-ims/issues/2245), item **#2**.
+**Date:** 2026-09-11
+**Scope of this slice:** *parse + persist only.* No assertion **runner**, no CI execution, no verify.sh emission. Those are follow-ups (#3 installable Skills, #4 self-healing) that consume the artifacts this slice produces.
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Let a tutorial author declare **machine-checkable postconditions** on a step — "after this step, `cds compile` exits 0", "`GET /catalog/Books` returns 200", "`srv/cat-service.cds` exists". This slice parses that authoring syntax into structured data and persists it two ways:
+
+1. **Build artifacts** — public `asserts[]` in the Hugo step frontmatter + a server-only `<slug>.assert.json` sidecar in `.tutorial-cache/`.
+2. **HANA** — `AssertSpecs` rows loaded through the existing content-publish endpoint pattern.
+
+The output is the **dependency spine** for #3 (bundle asserts into a `verify.sh` inside an agent SKILL.md) and #4 (nightly self-healing runs the asserts). This slice deliberately stops before executing anything.
+
+## 2. Non-goals
+
+- Executing/grading assertions (runner). Out of scope; #3/#4.
+- Emitting `verify.sh` or SKILL.md bundles. #3.
+- Any UI surface (admin or learner-facing). Assertions are invisible in rendered content in this slice.
+- New feature flag. Parsing is inert (unused data) until a consumer ships; no runtime behavior changes, so no flag is required. (If a later consumer needs gating, it owns its own flag.)
+
+## 3. Precedent we mirror
+
+This feature is structurally identical to **CodeCheck** (`[CODECHECK_N]`) — an author-supplied, per-step, machine-checkable spec. We follow its end-to-end pipeline exactly rather than invent a new one:
+
+| Stage | CodeCheck (model) | AssertSpecs (this slice) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Parser | `scripts/parsers/codecheck.ts` (reads `rules.vr`) | **new** `scripts/parsers/assert.ts` (reads `rules.vr`) |
+| Step field | `TutorialStep.codeCheck` | **new** `TutorialStep.asserts?: AssertBlock[]` |
+| Attach + sidecar | `attachCodeCheckSpecs(steps, map)` at `fetch-tutorials.ts:1100-1112` | **new** `attachAssertSpecs(steps, map)`, mirror block |
+| Frontmatter emit | `render-frontmatter.ts` whitelist (~L127-141) | add `asserts` to whitelist |
+| Sidecar | `<slug>.codecheck.json` (`fetch-tutorials.ts` ~L1102) | **new** `<slug>.assert.json` |
+| Collect+POST | `scripts/lib/publish-codecheck.js` | **new** `scripts/lib/publish-asserts.js` |
+| Handler | `srv/lib/code-check-spec-publish.js` → `POST /content/code-check-specs` | **new** `srv/lib/assert-spec-publish.js` → `POST /content/assert-specs` |
+| Route mount | `srv/server.js` L942 | add mount + import |
+| Publish call | `publish-content.ts` L1348-1360 | mirror block |
+| Entity | `CodeCheckSpecs` (`db/schema.cds:853`) | **new** `AssertSpecs` (`db/tutorial-asserts.cds`) |
+| Journal | `db/persistence.cds` | add `AssertSpecs` entry |
+
+## 4. Authoring syntax
+
+**Location: the `rules.vr` companion file** — the same file that already holds `[VALIDATE_N]` and `[CODECHECK_N]` blocks, NOT the tutorial's step markdown. This is how every existing machine-checkable per-step spec is authored (`parseCodeCheckBlocks(rulesContent)` at `fetch-tutorials.ts:1100`). Because these markers never appear in the step body, there is **no body-stripping to do** — `scripts/parsers/v2.ts` is untouched. (An earlier draft of this spec wrongly claimed v2 strips `[CODECHECK_N]` from the body; it does not — codecheck lives in `rules.vr`.)
+
+`N` = the **step number** the assertion applies to (matching `[CODECHECK_N]`/`[VALIDATE_N]`, where `[CODECHECK_3]` targets step 3). A step may carry multiple assertions: repeat the `[ASSERT_N]` block with the same `N`. Each block is one assertion; its `assertIndex` is assigned by order of appearance within that step (0-based).
+
+Three types, each with its own required/optional subsections. `###Match` (a regex) is optional everywhere except `file`+`contains` where it is required.
+
+**cmd** — run a shell command, assert exit code:
+```
+[ASSERT_1]
+###Type
+cmd
+###Run
+cds compile srv
+###Expect
+exit 0
+###Match
+Deployed        (optional: regex applied to stdout)
+```
+
+**http** — issue a request, assert status:
+```
+[ASSERT_2]
+###Type
+http
+###Method
+GET
+###Path
+/catalog/Books
+###Expect
+status 200
+###Match
+"value"         (optional: regex applied to response body)
+```
+
+**file** — assert a file exists, or contains text:
+```
+[ASSERT_3]
+###Type
+file
+###Path
+srv/cat-service.cds
+###Expect
+exists          (or: contains)
+###Match
+service CatalogService   (REQUIRED when Expect is "contains"; ignored for "exists")
+```
+
+### Grammar of `###Expect`
+
+- `cmd`: `exit <int>` → `expectExit: number`.
+- `http`: `status <int>` → `expectStatus: number`.
+- `file`: `exists` → `expectContains: false`; `contains` → `expectContains: true` (+ required `match`).
+
+Unknown `###Type`, missing required subsection, or unparseable `###Expect` ⇒ the individual block is **dropped with a `console.warn`**, never thrown. This matches the tolerant posture of `codecheck.ts`/`rules.ts` (a malformed block must never abort a tutorial build or a content publish).
+
+## 5. Data model
+
+`scripts/parsers/types.ts`:
+
+```ts
+export type AssertType = 'cmd' | 'http' | 'file';
+
+export interface AssertBlock {
+  index: number;        // assertIndex within the step, 0-based (order of appearance)
+  stepNumber: number;   // N from [ASSERT_N]
+  type: AssertType;
+  // cmd
+  run?: string;
+  expectExit?: number;
+  // http
+  method?: string;      // GET|POST|PUT|PATCH|DELETE|HEAD, upper-cased
+  path?: string;
+  expectStatus?: number;
+  // file
+  filePath?: string;
+  expectContains?: boolean;   // false ⇒ "exists" check; true ⇒ "contains" check
+  // shared, optional
+  match?: string;       // regex source string (stdout / body / file content)
+}
+
+export interface TutorialStep {
+  // ...existing...
+  asserts?: AssertBlock[];
+}
+```
+
+There is **no server-only secret** in an assert block (unlike codecheck's `referenceSolution`), so the public frontmatter shape equals the full shape. The `<slug>.assert.json` sidecar exists purely so server-side consumers (#3/#4) can read specs without scraping Hugo frontmatter — same rationale as the codecheck sidecar.
+
+## 6. Parser: `scripts/parsers/assert.ts`
+
+Reads the `rules.vr` companion content (never the step body), mirroring `parseCodeCheckBlocks`. Two exports:
+
+```ts
+// N in [ASSERT_N] is the step number; a step may have multiple blocks.
+export function parseAssertBlocks(content: string): Map<number, AssertBlock[]>
+// Attaches public asserts[] to matching steps in place; returns the flat
+// sidecar array (all blocks across all steps) for <slug>.assert.json.
+export function attachAssertSpecs<T extends { number: number; asserts?: AssertBlock[] }>(
+  steps: T[], specs: Map<number, AssertBlock[]>
+): AssertBlock[]
+```
+
+- Marker regex `^\[ASSERT_(\d+)\]\s*$`; sibling-marker regex closes an open block when the next `[VALIDATE_|CODECHECK_|ASSERT_\d+]` line appears (same flush pattern as `codecheck.ts:12-28`).
+- Per block: read `###Type`, then type-specific `###`-subsections via the existing `section(raw, name)` helper pattern; build+validate an `AssertBlock` per §4; assign `stepNumber = N`; append to `map.get(N)` (creating the array). `index` (assertIndex) = array position at append time.
+- Malformed block ⇒ `console.warn` + skip (never throw).
+- No fence-awareness needed — `rules.vr` is not rendered markdown, it is a directive file (matching `codecheck.ts`, which does not use a fence tracker).
+
+## 7. Wiring
+
+1. **`fetch-tutorials.ts`** — beside the codecheck block (`:1100-1112`), add: `const assertMap = parseAssertBlocks(rulesContent); if (assertMap.size) { const sidecar = attachAssertSpecs(steps, assertMap); if (sidecar.length) writeFileSync(join(CACHE_DIR, \`${t.slug.toLowerCase()}.assert.json\`), JSON.stringify({ slug: t.slug.toLowerCase(), specs: sidecar }, null, 2)); }`. `attachAssertSpecs` also sets `step.asserts` so frontmatter emit picks it up. No `compose.ts` change on the standard path; no `v2.ts` change.
+2. **`compose.ts` (preview parity, optional-but-included)** — in the `opts.rulesVr` preview block (`:222-228`), add `const assertMap = parseAssertBlocks(opts.rulesVr); if (assertMap.size) attachAssertSpecs(steps, assertMap);` so author-preview shows asserts too. No sidecar write here (preview has no cache), matching how codecheck preview differs from fetch.
+3. **`render-frontmatter.ts`** — add `if (s.asserts?.length) entry.asserts = s.asserts;` to the per-step whitelist (L128-139), emitted only when present.
+4. **`scripts/lib/publish-asserts.js`** — `collectAssertSpecs(cacheDir)` (reads `*.assert.json`, flattens to `{slug, ...spec}`, defensive skip on malformed) + `publishAssertSpecs(baseUrl, apiKey, specs)` (POST `/content/assert-specs`, returns `{upserted, skipped}`). Direct clone of `publish-codecheck.js`.
+5. **`srv/lib/assert-spec-publish.js`** — `assertSpecPublishHandler(req, res)`: validate `body.specs` (each needs `slug:string`, `stepNumber:number`, `type` ∈ enum, and type-specific required fields), then per spec resolve `Tutorials` by lower-cased slug (skip if absent), upsert `AssertSpecs` on `(tutorial_ID, stepNumber, assertIndex)` with **carry-forward** semantics (no DELETE). Clone of `code-check-spec-publish.js`.
+6. **`srv/server.js`** — import handler; `app.post('/content/assert-specs', express.json({limit:'5mb'}), contentAuthMiddleware, assertSpecPublishHandler)` beside L942.
+7. **`scripts/publish-content.ts`** — import + mirror the L1348-1360 collect/withRetry/publish block for asserts.
+
+## 8. CDS entity
+
+Defined **inline in `db/schema.cds`**, immediately after `CodeCheckSpecs` (~L870) — a faithful mirror of that entity (`: managed`, same declaration style). No separate `.cds` file, no new `using`.
+
+```cds
+// Author-supplied, machine-checkable step postconditions (issue #2245 item #2).
+// Populated by the publish-content pipeline (carry-forward upsert); consumed
+// by #3 (skill bundles) / #4 (self-healing). No secret columns — public == full.
+entity AssertSpecs : managed {
+  key tutorial     : Association to Tutorials;
+  key stepNumber   : Integer;
+  key assertIndex  : Integer;       // 0-based order within the step
+  assertType       : String(8);     // 'cmd' | 'http' | 'file'
+  run              : LargeString;   // cmd
+  expectExit       : Integer;       // cmd
+  httpMethod       : String(8);     // http
+  httpPath         : LargeString;   // http
+  expectStatus     : Integer;       // http
+  filePath         : LargeString;   // file
+  expectContains   : Boolean;       // file (false ⇒ exists check)
+  matchRegex       : LargeString;   // shared, nullable
+}
+```
+
+- Key `(tutorial, stepNumber, assertIndex)` — a step can hold multiple asserts, so `assertIndex` is part of the key (CodeCheckSpecs keys on just `(tutorial, stepNumber)`; called out because the upsert must key on all three).
+- **Not journaled** (absent from `persistence.cds`), exactly like `CodeCheckSpecs`. Assert rows are fully regenerable from `rules.vr` on the next publish, so a DROP+CREATE on schema change loses nothing. This is a deliberate mirror of the analog, not an oversight — do not add a `@cds.persistence.journal` entry.
+- Column named `assertType` (not `type`) and `httpMethod`/`httpPath` (not `method`/`path`) to avoid CDS keyword/reserved-name friction; `matchRegex` avoids overloading `match`. The JS `AssertBlock.type`/`method`/`path` map to these column names in the publish handler.
+
+## 9. Deploy / ops guardrails (from repo memory)
+
+- **srv-qa route drift:** `/content/assert-specs` is srv-only (a publish endpoint, like `/content/code-check-specs`). Add it to `ALLOWLIST_ONLY_ON_SRV` in `scripts/check-srv-qa-route-drift.ts` (~L73) and mirror the assertion in `test/unit/check-srv-qa-route-drift.test.ts`, or the drift guard fails CI.
+- **srv-qa cp-list:** `srv/lib/assert-spec-publish.js` is imported by `srv/server.js`. Confirm it (and any `./` imports it adds) is present in `.deploy/mta.yaml`'s `srv-qa` `cp` list exactly as `code-check-spec-publish.js` is — a missing transitive dep crashes srv-qa boot at MTA deploy.
+- **Route smoke:** add `{ path: '/content/assert-specs', method: 'POST' }` to `test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js` (~L22).
+- **Schema build:** `AssertSpecs` is not journaled (like `CodeCheckSpecs`), so it compiles to a plain `.hdbtable`. Run `cds build --production` after adding the entity to confirm the model compiles and the artifact generates; nothing to hand-edit.
+- **Seed-secrets doc:** append `/content/assert-specs` to the `CONTENT_API_KEY` description in `scripts/seed-secrets.cjs` L58 (cosmetic, keeps the endpoint list accurate).
+
+## 10. Testing (all offline — no HANA)
+
+Parse+persist is fully verifiable under `npm test` (in-memory SQLite + fixtures):
+
+1. **Parser** (`test/unit/assert-parser.test.js`) — a `rules.vr` string exercising all three types + `###Match` + two `[ASSERT_N]` blocks on the same `N`; assert the returned `Map<number, AssertBlock[]>` shape (multi-assert step keyed by ascending `assertIndex`), and that `attachAssertSpecs` sets `step.asserts` on matching steps and returns the flat sidecar array. Negatives: unknown `###Type`, missing `###Run`, missing required `###Match` on `contains`, stray marker with no subsections (all warn-and-skip, no throw).
+2. **Frontmatter emit** — compose a fixture tutorial, render frontmatter, assert `steps[].asserts` is present and correctly shaped, and absent when no asserts authored.
+3. **Sidecar collect** (`test/unit/assert-publish-cli.test.js`) — mirror `code-check-publish-cli.test.js`: temp dir with `*.assert.json`, assert `collectAssertSpecs` flattens/skips malformed.
+4. **Publish handler** (`test/unit/assert-spec-publish.test.js`) — mirror `code-check-spec-publish.test.js`: in-memory SQLite, 400 on invalid body/spec, upsert idempotency on re-post, skip on unknown slug, carry-forward (absent specs retained), multi-assert-per-step keying on `assertIndex`.
+
+**Definition of done:** all four test groups green under `npm test`; `cds build --production` succeeds with the new entity; route-drift + smoke guards updated and passing. No deploy required to prove this slice.
+
+## 11. Open questions resolved
+
+- *How AssertSpecs rows load into HANA* — traced: the content-publish pipeline (`publish-content.ts` → `POST /content/<kind>-specs` → carry-forward upsert handler). Mirrored exactly; the entity is not a dangling definition.
+- *Public vs server-only split* — none needed; asserts carry no secret. Sidecar retained only for server-side ergonomics.

+# KG Learning-Path Reasoning — Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-09-11
+**Status:** Approved (brainstorming) — pending implementation plan
+**Issue:** TBD (KG learning-path / "what should I learn next")
+
+## Problem
+
+The knowledge graph already carries real prerequisite structure — `kg:requires`
+concept→concept edges, transitive closure `(^kg:requires)+`, `prerequisitesOf` /
+`whatToLearnNext` neighborhood arms, `pathBetween`, and `conceptsForUser`
+(learned-vs-partial skill progression). All of it is anonymous-readable behind the
+single master switch `KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH_ENABLED` (default OFF in dev).
+
+What is missing is the reasoning that turns those primitives into an **ordered,
+personalized curriculum**:
+
+1. **No topological ordering.** The path arms return *ranked candidate sets* and
+   transitive-closure *sets*, never a linearized "do A, then B, then C" ordering.
+2. **No personalized chain.** Nothing combines `conceptsForUser` (what a learner has
+   completed) with the `requires`-closure to produce "given where you are, the ordered
+   path to reach tutorial X."
+3. **No hardened, documented contract** distinct from the sidebar-oriented
+   `neighborhood` payload.
+
+## Goal
+
+Build the ordered + personalized reasoning **once**, as a pure testable core, and
+surface it:
+
+- **In-product first** — a "Your Learning Path" Vue island on developers.sap.com.
+- **Then as an MCP tool** — the identical core wrapped for AI agents (Joule / Claude /
+  external LLMs).
+
+Three path shapes, all fed into the same sequencer:
+
+| Shape | Goal input | Source edges |
+|---|---|---|
+| Path to a chosen tutorial | tutorial slug | `teaches` → `requires`-closure |
+| Path to complete a mission/group | mission/group slug | `partOf` members → union of `teaches` → `requires`-closure |
+| Next-best (no goal) | none | satisfied-prereq frontier over `requires` |
+
+## Privacy invariant
+
+User→tutorial edges are deliberately kept **out** of the graph (`srv/lib/kg/concepts-for-user.js`).
+Personalization therefore happens **at request time** from the authenticated user's
+completions and is **never persisted** into the KG. Anonymous requests get goal-only
+ordering (no subtraction) plus a "sign in to personalize" nudge.
+
+## Approach (selected: A — request-time reasoning module)
+
+Rejected alternatives:
+- **B — precomputed DAG + nightly ordering.** A chosen-tutorial path is inherently
+  goal-relative; a single global ordering can't express it, and the closures are small
+  enough that request-time is fine. Adds a job + table + migration not needed for v1.
+- **C — thin composition over existing endpoints.** Doesn't add topological ordering
+  (the actual gap) and duplicates logic across the in-product and MCP consumers.
+
+## Components
+
+### 1. Core reasoning module — `srv/lib/kg/learning-path.js` (net-new)
+
+Pure function, deterministic given a graph snapshot + learned set → unit-testable:
+
+```
+computeLearningPath({ goal, goalType, learnedConcepts, partialConcepts, graph })
+  → { steps, meta }
+```
+
+`graph` is a plain in-memory snapshot (no DB access here): `requires` adjacency,
+`teaches` links (tutorial↔concept), `partOf` membership, and per-tutorial ranks.
+
+Algorithm:
+
+1. **Resolve goal concept set G.**
+   - `tutorial` → concepts the tutorial `teaches`.
+   - `mission` / `group` → union of concepts taught by member tutorials (via `partOf`).
+   - `next-best` → G = ∅ (handled by step 6).
+2. **Backward `requires`-closure** from G → candidate concept set **C** (goal concepts
+   ∪ transitive prerequisites). Bounded: max depth ≈ 6, max nodes ≈ 200; on overflow set
+   `meta.truncated = true` and keep the nearest-to-goal frontier.
+3. **Subtract satisfied concepts:** `R = C − learnedConcepts`. Partial concepts stay in
+   `R` but are flagged `alreadyPartial`.
+4. **Topological sort** of `R` over the `requires` sub-DAG via **Kahn's algorithm**.
+   Cycle-breaking: if Kahn stalls (a cycle remains), drop the **lowest-confidence**
+   `requires` edge in the remaining cycle, continue, and increment `meta.cyclesBroken`.
+5. **Concept → tutorial mapping.** For each concept in topological order, pick the best
+   tutorial that `teaches` it — **highest `TutorialRank`, preferring not-yet-completed**.
+   Dedupe tutorials covering multiple concepts to their earliest position; drop tutorials
+   the learner already completed.
+6. **`next-best` variant.** Frontier = unlearned concepts whose `requires` prerequisites
+   are all in `learnedConcepts` → map to tutorials, rank, take top 3–5.
+
+Output:
+
+```
+steps: [{ order, tutorialSlug, teachesConcepts[], satisfiesPrereqFor[], alreadyPartial }]
+meta:  { goalType, goal, totalSteps, cyclesBroken, truncated }
+```
+
+Defaults (overridable later, not in v1): cycle-break = drop lowest-confidence edge;
+best-tutorial = highest rank, prefer incomplete.
+
+### 2. Graph-assembly adapter — `srv/lib/kg/learning-path-graph.js` (net-new)
+
+The only component that touches HANA. Assembles the `graph` snapshot the core needs
+(`requires` edges, `teaches` links, `partOf`, ranks) from existing SPARQL procedures /
+CDS reads. Uses raw `db.run()` for any LOB-adjacent reads (avoids the CDS-QL LOB-locator
+expiry gotcha). Caches the **non-personalized** closure per `(goal, goalType)` with a
+short TTL (via existing `cds-caching`) since it is identical across users; personalization
+(the learned-set subtraction) is applied after the cache, per request.
+
+Keeping all dialect specifics here leaves the core dialect-agnostic and SQLite-testable
+in unit tests.
+
+### 3. Endpoint & auth — `KnowledgeGraphService`
+
+Add an unbound CDS function to the existing service (`@requires: 'any'`):
+
+```cds
+type LearningPathStep {
+  order            : Integer;
+  tutorialSlug     : String;
+  teachesConcepts  : array of String;
+  satisfiesPrereqFor : array of String;
+  alreadyPartial   : Boolean;
+}
+type LearningPathResult {
+  goalType     : String;
+  goal         : String;
+  totalSteps   : Integer;
+  cyclesBroken : Integer;
+  truncated    : Boolean;
+  personalized : Boolean;
+  steps        : array of LearningPathStep;
+}
+function learningPath( goal: String, goalType: String ) returns LearningPathResult;
+```
+
+Handler:
+- Authenticated learner → derive learned/partial via existing `conceptsForUser(req.user)`
+  logic, subtract at request time, set `personalized: true`.
+- Anonymous → goal-only ordering, `personalized: false`.
+- `goalType ∈ { tutorial, mission, group, next-best }`; unknown → 400.
+- Gated by `KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH_ENABLED` master switch (existing `before('*')`) **and** the
+  new flag (§4). Fail-open: flag off → empty result, never a 500.
+
+### 4. Feature flag
+
+Register `KG_LEARNING_PATH_ENABLED` in `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js` as
+`kind: 'db'` (backed by `KnowledgeGraphSettings.learningPathEnabled` or an `ImsConfig`
+`flag.kg.learningPath` row), **DEV-only, default OFF, fail-open**. Must be registered so
+it surfaces in the admin Feature Flags UI (per the registry drift-test guard). Update
+`test/unit/feature-flags-registry.test.js` accordingly.
+
+### 5. In-product surface — Vue island (ships first)
+
+"Your Learning Path" island under `hugo-apps/`:
+- Tutorial object page (`u1-object-page.html`) → "Path to this tutorial" (`goalType=tutorial`).
+- Mission / group pages → "Complete this mission" ordering (`goalType=mission|group`).
+- Standalone next-best widget deferred (see YAGNI).
+
+Island behavior:
+- Login probe checks JSON + `body.authenticated` (not `r.ok`).
+- Authenticated → personalized path; anonymous → goal-only path + "sign in to personalize" nudge.
+- **Fail-open:** flag off / 503 / empty → island renders nothing; no layout break.
+- Built + hashed through the normal island pipeline (`postbuild:apps` / island-manifest);
+  add to `npm run setup` if it needs deps not already present at root.
+
+### 6. MCP surface — phase 2 (same core)
+
+Add `kg_learning_path(goal, goal_type)` to the KG MCP service
+(`srv/knowledge-graph-service-mcp.cds` + handler), wrapping the **identical** core module.
+Non-personalized in agent context (no `req.user`) unless a caller supplies a user id.
+Documented tool description ("Given a goal tutorial or mission, returns the ordered
+prerequisite chain of tutorials to complete").
+
+## Data flow
+
+```
+island / MCP tool
+  → learningPath(goal, goalType)                     [KnowledgeGraphService handler]
+    → learning-path-graph.js: assemble graph snapshot [HANA, cached non-personalized]
+    → conceptsForUser(req.user)                       [request-time, authenticated only]
+    → learning-path.js: computeLearningPath(...)       [pure: closure → subtract → topo-sort → map]
+  ← { steps[], meta }
+```
+
+## Error handling
+
+- Master switch OFF → 503 (existing behavior).
+- New flag OFF → `{ steps: [], meta: { ... } }`, fail-open (island renders nothing).
+- Unknown `goalType` / missing `goal` → 400.
+- Goal slug not in graph → empty `steps`, `truncated: false`.
+- Cycle in `requires` → break lowest-confidence edge, `meta.cyclesBroken++`, never throw.
+- Closure overflow → `meta.truncated: true`, return nearest-to-goal frontier.
+- Graph-assembly failure → fail-open empty result + logged warning.
+
+## Testing
+
+- **Unit (pure core, dialect-agnostic):** fixture graphs covering a linear chain, a
+  diamond, a cycle (assert an edge is broken and ordering is still valid), learned-set
+  subtraction, all three `goalType`s, and the truncation bound.
+- **Handler:** shape assertions, flag-OFF → empty, anonymous vs authenticated
+  (`personalized` toggles, subtraction applied), unknown `goalType` → 400. Use the
+  `cds.test('serve', …, '--in-memory')` pattern (not `cds.deploy(cds.model)`); put any
+  test-only hooks on `globalThis` so a `cds.serve()`'d handler sees them.
+- No HANA-only reasoning in the core; graph assembly is mocked in unit tests.
+
+## YAGNI (out of scope for v1)
+
+- Difficulty weighting, time-based path optimization, editorial ordering overrides.
+- Standalone `/learn-next` next-best page (start with tutorial + mission on existing pages).
+- Precomputed/materialized ordering (Approach B).
+- Persisting any per-user path or user→tutorial edge.
+
+## Rollout
+
+DEV-only behind `KG_LEARNING_PATH_ENABLED` (default OFF) + `KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH_ENABLED`.
+Enable in DEV, verify all three shapes render and personalize, then decide on QA/PROD
+exposure and MCP-tool publication (phase 2) separately.

+# KTT — Kasimir Teaches TLAs — Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-09-11
+**Status:** Design approved; pending spec review before implementation planning
+**Route:** `/explore/ktt/` (new page under the "Explore" nav)
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+KTT ("Kasimir Teaches TLAs") is a mostly-fun, tongue-in-cheek page on
+developers.sap.com that teaches the enormous set of SAP three-letter
+acronyms through a Duolingo-style, **story-heavy** experience narrated by
+an animated Professor Kasimir (SAP's cat mascot). The core loop is
+**story-driven** (Kasimir teaches with dialogue and jokes) with
+**quiz drills mixed in** (multiple-choice / match / type). Lessons are
+grouped into a skill-tree of 3–4 units covering ~50–60 acronyms for v1.
+
+Kasimir is rendered as an original **stylized/flat SVG** recreation of
+SAP's Kasimir (grey tuxedo cat, white blaze/muzzle/chest/paws, big blue
+eyes, pink nose, dark collar + blue SAP-arrow tag), rigged and animated
+in code (CSS keyframes + SMIL). It is not a photoreal reproduction of the
+3D-rendered character; the art lives behind a component interface so it
+can later be swapped for a commissioned Lottie / rendered asset without
+touching lesson logic.
+
+## 2. Goals & non-goals
+
+**Goals (v1):**
+- A skill-tree map with 3–4 themed units, ~50–60 TLAs total.
+- Story-first lessons with drills interspersed; wrong answers re-queued.
+- An animated Kasimir present on every screen, driven by a small mood
+  state machine.
+- Progress that works logged-out (local) and follows a signed-in user
+  (synced to HANA), reusing the existing completion model so KTT lessons
+  appear in MyCompletions and unit rollups.
+- Content that is correct on the facts and fun in the voice.
+
+**Non-goals (v1):**
+- "Endless mode" over the full acronym firehose — **seam left in**, not built.
+- NGDS autosend for KTT completions — **explicitly excluded** for v1.
+- Per-acronym `STEP`-level completion rows — mastery stays inside the
+  lesson / local state for v1.
+- Photoreal 3D Kasimir, commissioned Lottie, or badges/leaderboard beyond
+  what MyCompletions/gameboard give for free.
+
+## 3. Architecture
+
+Chosen approach: **Hugo page + a single Vue 3 island** (the established
+platform pattern; ~17 islands already build into `hugo/static/js/`).
+
+```text
+/explore/ktt/  (Hugo page — SSR shell so the route is not an empty div)
+  └─ mounts one Vue 3 island: the KTT game
+        ├─ Landing / hero
+        ├─ Skill-tree map (units → lesson nodes)
+        ├─ Lesson (story beats + drills)
+        └─ Progress / results
+     island talks to CAP only for:
+        (1) progress sync when logged in
+        (2) live Kasimir "banter" line (AI, fail-open)
+
+Content: hugo/data/ktt_lessons.json  (build-time AI-drafted, human-reviewed)
+Backend: srv/ktt-service.cds  (@path:'/ktt')  — thin
+Progress rows: reuse com.sap.developers.ims.TaskRecords (new taskType KTT_LESSON)
+```
+
+The island inherits Hugo nav, the Horizon theme, and the site build
+pipeline. The CAP surface stays deliberately small.
+
+## 4. Screens & UX flow
+
+Four screens inside the one island:
+
+1. **Landing / hero** — Kasimir (idle animation) introduces himself with a
+   tongue-in-cheek line; "Start / Continue" CTA; streak + XP badge.
+2. **Skill-tree map** — Duolingo-style path: 3–4 units, each a chain of
+   lesson nodes (locked → available → completed). Suggested units:
+   *Core Platform*, *Data & HANA*, *Security & Identity*,
+   *ABAP & Extensibility*. Kasimir reacts alongside progress.
+3. **Lesson** — the core loop:
+   - **Story beats** — Kasimir teaches a cluster of TLAs with dialogue +
+     jokes (scripted lines; occasional live-AI banter for freshness).
+   - **Drills** — interspersed: multiple-choice, match-the-expansion,
+     type-the-acronym. Wrong answers re-queued Duolingo-style; Kasimir
+     facepalms then encourages.
+   - **Lesson complete** — Kasimir celebrates (hop + confetti), XP awarded,
+     next node unlocks.
+4. **Progress / results** — streak, XP, acronyms mastered, per-unit
+   completion; feeds local + HANA sync.
+
+## 5. Content model & pipeline
+
+Lesson content is **one reviewed JSON file**, `hugo/data/ktt_lessons.json`,
+committed to git as the source of truth (regenerable, but never generated
+live at build).
+
+Shape (approximate):
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "units": [
+    {
+      "id": "core-platform",
+      "title": "Core Platform",
+      "icon": "...",
+      "order": 1,
+      "lessons": [
+        {
+          "id": "core-platform-1",
+          "legacyId": 90001,          // stable int, used for TaskRecords + rollup tokens
+          "title": "Meet the Platform",
+          "acronyms": [
+            { "tla": "BTP", "expansion": "Business Technology Platform",
+              "blurb": "…", "category": "platform" }
+          ],
+          "beats": [
+            { "type": "story", "kasimir": "…", "mood": "teaching" },
+            { "type": "drill", "kind": "mc", "tla": "BTP",
+              "prompt": "BTP stands for…", "answer": "Business Technology Platform",
+              "distractors": ["…", "…"],
+              "kasimirRight": "…", "kasimirWrong": "…" }
+          ]
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Build-time generation** — `scripts/generate-ktt-lessons.ts`:
+- Seeds from a **hand-curated acronym → expansion + category list**. The
+  facts (TLA → expansion) are **generated by Claude but grounded against
+  `sap-devs-server` / `cds-mcp` / official docs — not invented from
+  training data** — and are reviewed by a human before commit
+  (per the project rule: never rely on training data for SAP facts).
+- AI drafts **only** Kasimir's personality lines and plausible-but-wrong
+  distractors; these land in the JSON for human review.
+- Wired as an **explicit `build:all` step** (not a `pre/post` hook — those
+  are silenced by the global `ignore-scripts=true`).
+
+**Endless-mode seam:** the lesson engine reads beats from a **pluggable
+source** (data file now; a CAP-backed acronym feed later), so a future
+"endless mode" over the full acronym set drops in without a rewrite.
+
+## 6. Animated Kasimir — `KasimirStage` component
+
+A self-contained Vue component wrapping **one rigged inline SVG** of
+stylized Kasimir. Parts (ears, eyelids, pupils, mouth, whiskers, tail,
+front paws, head) are separate SVG groups so they animate independently.
+
+- **State machine** prop: `idle | teaching | thinking | correct | wrong |
+  celebrate`, driven with CSS keyframes + SMIL:
+  - idle — breathing + tail flick + periodic blink
+  - teaching — gentle gesture, eyes toward content
+  - thinking — ear twitch, eyes up
+  - correct — ears perk, eye sparkle
+  - wrong — facepalm paw, flattened ears
+  - celebrate — hop + confetti burst
+- **Accessibility:** honors `prefers-reduced-motion` (freezes to a calm
+  pose); the SVG is decorative (`aria-hidden`), while Kasimir's teaching
+  text lives in real DOM for screen readers.
+- **Swappable art:** the SVG sits behind the component interface, so a
+  future commissioned Lottie / rendered Kasimir replaces the innards
+  without touching lesson logic.
+- **Themed** to Horizon tokens so it fits `sap_horizon`.
+
+## 7. Backend — reuse the completion model
+
+The completable unit is a **KTT lesson**. It reuses the existing
+completion machinery rather than a new progress entity.
+
+### 7.1 Progress rows — `TaskRecords`
+
+- Each completed lesson writes a `com.sap.developers.ims.TaskRecords` row
+  (`db/schema.cds:188`) with `taskType:'KTT_LESSON'`, `status`, `progress`,
+  `completionDate`.
+- Upserted on the de-facto tuple **`(user_ID, taskLegacyId, taskType)`**
+  (same convention as `puzzle-service.js` / `petoberfest-upload.js`), so
+  re-completion updates rather than duplicates.
+
+### 7.2 Catalog entity — `KttLessons`
+
+- One lightweight entity (id, `legacyId`, slug, unit, title), seeded from
+  `ktt_lessons.json`, mirroring how `Tutorials` / `Puzzles` /
+  `Petoberfests` exist so a completion row can join to its metadata for
+  MyCompletions.
+- New persisted entity → add a `db/persistence.cds` journal entry;
+  run `cds deploy --to sqlite::memory:` before committing the model.
+
+### 7.3 Unit rollups (free)
+
+- Each unit is modeled as a mission-style parent via `CompletionPathItems`
+  whose children are `KTT_LESSON:<legacyId>` tokens.
+- `srv/lib/completion-rollup.js` already matches mission parents by
+  `{taskType, taskLegacyId}` (`:159`) and upserts the parent GROUP/MISSION
+  row — so "unit mastered" appears with **no rollup-code changes**.
+
+### 7.4 `KttService` (`srv/ktt-service.cds`, `@path:'/ktt'`)
+
+- `completeLesson` (XSUAA-scoped write) — writes the `TaskRecords` row and
+  calls `rollUpParentsForCompletion({ task:{ taskType:'KTT_LESSON', … } })`
+  (same call shape as `puzzle-service.js:223`).
+- `syncProgress` — merges local ↔ HANA on login: union of mastered TLAs,
+  max of XP/streak; idempotent via the upsert tuple.
+- `banter(context)` — `@cap-js/ai` action returning a short in-character
+  line. `AICore-mocked` locally, `AICore-btp` in hybrid/prod. **Fail-open:**
+  any error/timeout returns a scripted line from the data file; rate-limited
+  and length-capped; runs edge-side, never inside a progress transaction.
+
+### 7.5 Progress: local-first + hybrid
+
+- Logged-out: everything lives in `localStorage`; the game is fully playable.
+- On login: local completions replay through `completeLesson` as
+  `TaskRecords` rows; the upsert tuple prevents double-counting.
+
+### 7.6 Concrete edit sites
+
+- `db/schema.cds:195` — add `KTT_LESSON` to `TaskRecords.taskType`
+  (NVARCHAR column; **no `.hdbmigrationtable` ALTER needed** — see comment
+  at `:191`).
+- `db/schema.cds:19` — add `KTT_LESSON` to `type TaskType` so KTT lessons
+  pass the `@assert.range` at `:418` when used as `CompletionPathItems`
+  children.
+- `srv/lib/user-progress.js` (~`:175`, `:183`, `:213`) — add `KTT_LESSON`
+  to the MyCompletions `taskType IN (…)` list, an ID bucket, a metadata
+  SELECT against `KttLessons`, and a `kind:'ktt'` branch.
+- New `KttService` handlers per 7.4.
+- **Not changed for v1:** `srv/lib/ngds-client.js` (NGDS autosend excluded),
+  `featured-resolve.js`, `admin-service.js`, exports — revisit only if KTT
+  later joins those flows.
+
+### 7.7 Feature flag
+
+- KTT gated by an `ImsConfig` DB flag registered in
+  `feature-flags/registry.js` (`kind:'db'`) so it surfaces in the admin
+  Feature Flags UI and toggles without redeploy. **Default OFF** until
+  DEV-verified. Flag off ⇒ `/explore/ktt/` fails closed (coming-soon / 404
+  per convention).
+
+#### Enabling on DEV (runbook)
+
+The flag is a **runtime DB change on the deployed backend** — no redeploy, no
+code change. Two equivalent paths:
+
+1. **Admin UI (preferred):** open `/admin-ui/#featureFlags` on the DEV
+   approuter, find **"KTT — Kasimir Teaches TLAs"** (category *Content*), and
+   toggle it on. Persists to `ImsConfig` key `flag.ktt.enabled`.
+2. **Action call:** invoke `featureFlagUpsert('KTT_ENABLED', 'flag.ktt.enabled')`
+   against `AdminService` with `value: true` (the exact `howToChange` recorded
+   in the registry entry).
+
+Verify: `GET /ktt/Lessons?$top=1` returns `200` (not `503`), and
+`/explore/ktt/` renders the landing screen (Start button) instead of the
+coming-soon section. The island probes the flag via `isKttEnabled()` on mount,
+so a hard refresh is enough — no rebuild. Flip back to `false` to fail closed
+again.
+
+
+## 8. Error handling & resilience
+
+- **AI banter non-blocking** — timeout + try/catch; falls back to a scripted
+  line. Lesson loop never stalls on the model.
+- **Progress sync best-effort** — a failed `TaskRecords` write shows a quiet
+  toast, never loses local state, retries on next completion; never throws
+  into the rollup transaction.
+- **Data file validated at build** — `generate-ktt-lessons.ts` + a unit test
+  assert: every drill has a correct answer and ≥2 distractors, every acronym
+  has an expansion, `legacyId`s are unique. Malformed lessons fail the build.
+- **Reduced-motion** honored by `KasimirStage`.
+
+## 9. Testing
+
+- **Unit (in-memory SQLite):** `completeLesson` writes a `TaskRecords` row on
+  the `(user, legacyId, KTT_LESSON)` tuple; re-completion upserts (no dupes);
+  unit-parent rollup produces the mission/group row via existing
+  `completion-rollup.js`; `getMyCompletions` returns the `kind:'ktt'` entry.
+  Guard the model with `cds deploy --to sqlite::memory:` pre-commit.
+- **Lesson-engine unit tests:** drill scoring, wrong-answer re-queue,
+  XP/streak math, local↔HANA merge (union mastered, max XP/streak).
+- **Island component tests:** `KasimirStage` state transitions; run via
+  `--project unit` from repo root (hugo-apps `.vue` gotcha).
+- **AI banter:** mocked (`AICore-mocked`) locally; test the fail-open path
+  explicitly.
+- **e2e (post-deploy, self-skipping):** committed Playwright spec — load
+  `/explore/ktt/`, start a lesson, answer a drill, see Kasimir react.
+- **srv-qa cp-list audit** if any KTT helper lands under `srv/lib/` reachable
+  from `content-store.js`.
+
+## 10. Open items for implementation planning
+
+- Final unit list and the ~50–60 acronym set (drafted grounded, human-reviewed).
+- Exact XP/streak formula and re-queue policy.
+- Whether the landing SSR shell needs any crawler-facing acronym content.
+- Confirm `/explore/ktt/` nav placement and label wording under "Explore".

+# Design: Tutorials as installable agent Skills (`GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill`)
+
+**Issue:** [#2245](https://github.com/sap-tutorials/tutorials-ims/issues/2245) item 3
+**Depends on:** #2256 (signed provenance envelope), #2259 (assert blocks → parse + persist)
+**Date:** 2026-09-11
+**Status:** Approved design → implementation planning
+
+## Goal
+
+Turn a published tutorial into a capability an AI agent can *install and perform*, not just
+read. `GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill` returns a zip archive that unpacks to an
+installable Skill directory: a `SKILL.md` procedure, a runnable `verify.sh` generated from
+the tutorial's assert blocks, and a provenance/freshness stamp. This is item 3 of the
+"executable, self-verifying, self-healing tutorials" spine — it composes the outputs of
+items 1 (provenance) and 2 (assert blocks) that already shipped.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No new persistence. The endpoint is a pure read/compose over `getTutorialSource`,
+  `AssertSpecs`, and `loadProvenanceInputs`.
+- No actual execution of `verify.sh` server-side (that is item 4, self-healing).
+- No per-code-sample separate files in v1 — code fences are carried inline in `SKILL.md`
+  (YAGNI; revisit if an agent consumer needs standalone sample files).
+- No QA-channel (`srv-qa`) support — published-content trust surface only, mirroring the
+  provenance endpoint's rationale.
+
+## Route & registration
+
+- **Path:** `GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill` — sibling of the existing
+  `/content/tutorials/:slug/provenance` (#2256).
+- **Registration:** plain Express route inside the `cds.on('bootstrap', (app) => {...})`
+  block in `srv/server.js`, registered **before** the `/content/tutorials/*slug` wildcard
+  (`serveHandler`) so the wildcard does not swallow it — same ordering discipline as
+  `/provenance`.
+- **Auth:** anonymous public read (no `contentAuthMiddleware`), consistent with tutorials
+  and `/provenance`.
+- **Drift guard:** add `'GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill'` to `ALLOWLIST_ONLY_ON_SRV` in
+  `scripts/check-srv-qa-route-drift.ts` with a rationale mirroring the provenance entry
+  (published-content-only, no srv-qa reader).
+
+## Feature flag
+
+New DB feature flag in `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js`, following the
+`PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED` shape exactly:
+
+```js
+{
+  key: 'SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED', label: 'Installable Skill bundle endpoint', category: 'Content',
+  kind: 'db', imsConfigKey: 'flag.skill.bundle',
+  valueType: 'boolean', default: false, status: 'dev-only',
+  description: 'When true, serves an installable agent-Skill zip at '
+    + '/content/tutorials/:slug/skill (SKILL.md procedure + verify.sh generated from assert '
+    + 'blocks + provenance/freshness stamp). Public, anonymous, read-only over PUBLISHED '
+    + 'tutorials. DB-driven config (ImsConfig key flag.skill.bundle); no env var. Default OFF (#2245).',
+  howToChange: featureFlagUpsert('SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED', 'flag.skill.bundle'),
+}
+```
+
+Flag OFF → **404** (fail-closed on the feature; the endpoint should not advertise its
+existence). Reading the flag reuses whatever helper `provenanceHandler` uses to read
+`PROVENANCE_ENVELOPE_ENABLED` (confirm during implementation and mirror it).
+
+## Handler module: `srv/lib/skill-bundle.js`
+
+New module exporting a factory `createSkillBundleHandler(deps)` (for testability) and a
+default `skillBundleHandler(req, res)` bound to production deps, mirroring the
+provenance-handlers factory/default pattern.
+
+Injectable deps (default to the real implementations):
+- `getTutorialSource(slug)` — from `content-store.js` (raw markdown).
+- `loadAssertSpecs(slug)` — new small helper (below).
+- `loadProvenanceInputs(slug)` + `buildEnvelope(...)` — from provenance libs.
+- `isFlagEnabled('SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED')`.
+
+### Request flow
+
+1. **Flag check** → 404 if disabled.
+2. **Canonicalize slug** (lowercase; 301 redirect on non-canonical) — reuse the existing
+   canonicalization helper used by `serveHandler`/`provenanceHandler`.
+3. `getTutorialSource(slug)` → `{ markdown, sourceHash, contentHash }`. If `markdown` is
+   null/absent (legacy or unknown slug) → **404**.
+4. `loadAssertSpecs(slug)` → ordered `AssertSpec[]` (may be empty).
+5. `loadProvenanceInputs(slug)`; if the provenance flag is on and inputs exist, `buildEnvelope`
+   to obtain `{ jws, claims }`. **Fail-open**: any error or missing data → stamp degrades to
+   `confidence: 'unknown'`, no `jws`. The Skill bundle never fails because provenance is off.
+6. Compose `SKILL.md` and `verify.sh` strings (pure functions, below).
+7. Stream a zip via `archiver` (already a declared dependency, `archiver@8.0.0`):
+   - `Content-Type: application/zip`
+   - `Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="<slug>-skill.zip"`
+   - Entries: `<slug>/SKILL.md`, `<slug>/verify.sh` (mode `0o755`).
+   - On `archiver` `error` event → 500 (if headers not yet sent) + `console.error`.
+
+### `loadAssertSpecs(slug)` helper
+
+Since #2259 added no read projection, read the entity directly:
+
+1. `SELECT.one.from(Tutorials).columns('ID').where({ slug: lcSlug })` → if none, return `[]`.
+2. `SELECT.from(AssertSpecs).where({ tutorial_ID: tut.ID }).orderBy('stepNumber','assertIndex')`.
+3. Map DB columns back to the logical assert shape (reverse of the #2259 remapping):
+   `assertType→type`, `httpMethod→method`, `httpPath→path`, `matchRegex→match`; keep
+   `run`, `expectExit`, `expectStatus`, `filePath`, `expectContains`, `stepNumber`,
+   `assertIndex`.
+
+Entity access via `cds.entities('com.sap.developers.ims')`. Fail-open: on error, log and
+return `[]` (bundle still ships, verify.sh has no checks).
+
+## Composition (pure functions)
+
+### `buildSkillMd({ slug, title, description, markdown, asserts, stamp })`
+
+Returns a `SKILL.md` string:
+
+- **YAML frontmatter:** `name: <slug>`, `description:` (tutorial title + short description,
+  single-line, YAML-escaped). Frontmatter matches the agent-skill convention (name +
+  description are what agents index for discovery).
+- **Procedure body:** the tutorial's step content derived from `markdown`. Code fences are
+  carried through inline as fenced blocks. Steps come from the parsed markdown structure
+  (H2/H3 per parser v2 — reuse the existing step-parsing helper rather than re-parsing by
+  hand; confirm the reusable entry point during implementation).
+- **`## Verifying this Skill`** section: instructs the agent to run `bash verify.sh`
+  (with `BASE_URL` when http asserts are present), and states how many automated checks
+  are bundled.
+- **`## Provenance & freshness`** section: `confidence`, `last-verified` date
+  (`stamp.lastScanned`), `source-commit` (`stamp.sourceCommit`), and the JWS token when
+  available (fenced), plus the JWKS URL for verification.
+
+### `buildVerifyScript(asserts)`
+
+Returns a bash script string:
+
+- Header: `#!/usr/bin/env bash` + `set -euo pipefail`, a `fail()` helper, a pass/fail
+  counter, and (only when any http assert exists) `BASE_URL="${BASE_URL:-http://localhost:4004}"`.
+- One check block per assert, in `(stepNumber, assertIndex)` order, each echoing a labeled
+  check line:
+  - **cmd:** run `run`; capture output+exit; assert exit `== expectExit`; if `match`,
+    `grep -Eq -- "<match>"` on captured output.
+  - **http:** `code=$(curl -s -o /tmp/... -w '%{http_code}' -X <method> "${BASE_URL}<path>")`;
+    assert `code == expectStatus`; if `match`, `grep -Eq` on the response body.
+  - **file:** `test -f "<filePath>"`; if `expectContains`, `grep -Eq -- "<match>" "<filePath>"`.
+- All interpolated values (`run`, `path`, `filePath`, `match`) are **shell-quoted** via a
+  single-quote-escaping helper to prevent breakage/injection from spec content.
+- **Empty asserts:** script echoes `"No automated checks defined for this tutorial."` and
+  `exit 0`.
+- Footer: print summary; `exit 1` if any check failed.
+
+## Error handling
+
+| Condition | Response |
+|---|---|
+| `SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED` off | 404 |
+| Non-canonical slug | 301 → canonical `/skill` URL |
+| Unknown / legacy slug (no source markdown) | 404 |
+| Provenance off / no inputs / build error | 200, stamp `confidence: 'unknown'`, no JWS (fail-open) |
+| AssertSpecs read error | 200, verify.sh with no checks (fail-open) |
+| `archiver` stream error | 500 + logged (if headers unsent) |
+
+## Testing
+
+Follow existing patterns (`test/lib/provenance-endpoint.test.js`, `test/unit/provenance-*.test.js`,
+`test/unit/assert-*.test.js`).
+
+- **`test/unit/skill-bundle-compose.test.js`** — pure composition:
+  - `buildVerifyScript`: one representative test per assert type (cmd exit + match, http
+    status + method, file exists, file contains), multi-assert ordering, empty → `exit 0`
+    notice, shell-quoting of a value containing quotes/`$`.
+  - `buildSkillMd`: frontmatter has `name` + `description`; provenance section reflects
+    `high`/`unknown` stamps; JWS included only when present.
+- **`test/lib/skill-bundle-endpoint.test.js`** — handler via injected deps:
+  - flag off → 404; unknown slug → 404; happy path → 200, `application/zip`,
+    `Content-Disposition` filename; unzip (via `jszip`, already installed) and assert the
+    two entries exist and `verify.sh` content matches the specs; provenance-off path still
+    200 with degraded stamp.
+- **Route/registration:** extend `test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js` and the
+  drift-guard test (`test/unit/check-srv-qa-route-drift.test.ts`) for the new allowlist entry.
+
+## Files touched
+
+| File | Change |
+|---|---|
+| `srv/lib/skill-bundle.js` | **new** — handler factory + `buildSkillMd` + `buildVerifyScript` + `loadAssertSpecs` |
+| `srv/server.js` | register `GET /content/tutorials/:slug/skill` before the `*slug` wildcard; import handler |
+| `srv/lib/feature-flags/registry.js` | add `SKILL_BUNDLE_ENABLED` entry |
+| `scripts/check-srv-qa-route-drift.ts` | add allowlist entry + rationale |
+| `test/unit/skill-bundle-compose.test.js` | **new** |
+| `test/lib/skill-bundle-endpoint.test.js` | **new** |
+| `test/smoke/express-route-mutations.test.js` | extend for new route |
+| `test/unit/check-srv-qa-route-drift.test.ts` | extend for new allowlist entry |
+
+## Open items to confirm during implementation
+
+1. The exact reusable slug-canonicalization helper and flag-read helper used by
+   `provenanceHandler` (mirror, don't reinvent).
+2. The reusable markdown→steps parsing entry point for `buildSkillMd` (parser v2 uses H3
+   steps); if none is cleanly importable server-side, fall back to emitting the raw markdown
+   body verbatim under the procedure section (still valid; less structured).
+3. Whether `srv-qa`'s `content-store.js` cp-list is affected — `skill-bundle.js` is a new
+   `srv/lib` module but is **not** a transitive `./` import of `content-store.js`; it imports
+   *from* content-store. Confirm it is added to the `srv` module only (not srv-qa) and that
+   the drift guard covers the route.

+// (PR2 of the origin-abuse-protection sequence; see the plan + the
+// docs/developers/architecture/cdn-caching.md §"Invalidation on publish").
+//
+// Why this exists: developers.sap.com fronts with Akamai. Content is served
+// per-request from HANA gzip BLOBs with a split browser/edge Cache-Control
+// (srv/lib/edge-cache-headers.js). Without an active purge signal the ONLY
+// thing bounding edge staleness after a publish is `s-maxage`, so that TTL has
+// to stay short (10 min). Wiring a purge-by-tag call on the publish path lets
+// the edge hold content much longer (offloading scraper/bot floods away from
+// HANA — the biggest availability win) while a publish invalidates the exact
+// changed items within seconds.
+//
+// Design constraints honored here:
+//   - Master flag EDGE_PURGE_ENABLED (ImsConfig flag.edgepurge, default OFF).
+//     Off → every entry point is a no-op: no secret read, no network. This is
+//     also what makes dev a natural mock (no Akamai credential bound → no-op).
+//   - FAIL-OPEN + FIRE-AND-FORGET everywhere. A purge fault (missing/garbled
+//     credential, network blip, Akamai 5xx) must NEVER fail a content commit or
+//     rollback. Callers use purgePublishedSlugs()/purgeAllContent() which return
+//     void and swallow all errors; the awaitable purgeTags() (used by tests)
+//     also never throws.
+//   - No new dependency: the Akamai EG1-HMAC-SHA256 request signing is
+//     implemented with node:crypto (the algorithm is a documented HMAC-SHA256
+//     construction). Native fetch performs the call (AbortSignal timeout).
+//   - Env-free: the credential bundle is one JSON secret in Credential Store
+//     (alias AKAMAI_FASTPURGE_EDGERC), resolved via secret-resolver.js and

+// srv/lib/rate-limit/register.js and mounts in cds.on('bootstrap') so it sits
+// AHEAD of the CAP service handlers in the express stack.
+//
+// Master kill switch: INPUT_VALIDATION_ENABLED (ImsConfig flag.inputvalidation),
+// default OFF. When off every mounted middleware is a straight pass-through.
+// Numeric thresholds come from input-validation-settings.js (~5s cache, DB-
+// backed, env-free). EVERYTHING here FAILS OPEN: a fault anywhere resolves to
+// next() (request allowed) — the validator must never break the surface it
+// protects.
+//
+// Two mount modes:
+//   'size' — Content-Length size cap ONLY. Never touches the request stream, so
+//            it can't loosen a stricter inline limit (e.g. /api/ui-event's 64kb
+//            express.json) and can't interfere with CAP's OData body parsing.
+//            Applied broadly across the anon POST surface.
+//   'full' — size cap PLUS a bounded pre-parse + JSON depth/shape check. Scoped
+//            to the agentic JSON-RPC surface (/mcp*, /a2a, /chat/stream) which is
+//            anonymous AND CSRF-disabled (the sharpest exposure) and carries no
+//            stricter inline body limit to loosen. The pre-parse is reused
+//            downstream: CAP's bodyParser4 early-returns when req.body is already
+//            an object, and graphql-http reads req.body when a parser has run —
+//            so we never double-consume the stream.
+//
+// GraphQL /graphql/public depth/complexity/introspection limiting lives in
+// srv/lib/graphql-guard.js (wired through graphql-config.js); here we only add
+// the outer body-size cap for that path.

+// Origin-side load-shedding guard (PR4, #2271) for the anonymous HANA
+// content-serve path. Bounds the number of *concurrent* per-request gzip-BLOB
+// reads: the serve path reads a compressed HTML BLOB from HANA and gunzips it
+// per request with no static fallback, so a scraper flood that gets past the
+// edge cache can saturate the DB pool and OOM the instance. Above a configured
+// ceiling, excess requests are shed with 503 + Retry-After rather than piling
+// up.
+//
+// Contract:
+//   acquireServeSlot() -> Promise<{ admitted, retryAfter, release() }>
+//     admitted:true  → a slot was taken; the caller MUST call release() exactly
+//                      once (on success AND on every error path — use finally).
+//     admitted:false → shed; retryAfter is the Retry-After hint (seconds).
+//                      release() is a no-op (nothing was taken).
+//
+// Design notes:
+//   - Flag-gated (LOADSHED_ENABLED, ImsConfig flag.loadshed). OFF → every call
+//     is admitted as a no-op and NOTHING is counted, so the guard is inert and
+//     a warm cache path is untouched.
+//   - Fail-open: any error resolving the flag/config admits the request. The
+//     guard must never block content on its own failure.
+//   - The in-flight counter is pinned on globalThis so every ESM instance of
+//     this module (CAP loads service modules via dynamic file:// imports whose
+//     URL can differ from a static import's on Windows) shares one count —
+//     same rationale as the feature-flag cache in db-flags.js.
+//   - Single-process, per-instance ceiling (NOT cross-instance): the metric to
+//     bound here is per-instance memory/pool pressure, so a plain in-memory
+//     counter is exactly right (and needs no shared store). With N app
+//     instances the effective origin ceiling is N × maxConcurrent.

+// Cross-instance fixed-window rate limiter (issue: origin-side abuse
+// protection, assuming Akamai Bot Manager removal). Generalizes the
+// single-process srv/lib/ip-rate-limit.js: the counter is backed by the
+// `cds-caching` plugin (store:"cds" in hybrid/prod = HANA container shared
+// across CF instances; memory in base/unit) so limits hold when we scale out.
+//
+// ── Design ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+//   Counter keyed by (routeClass, tier, clientKey). Value is a
+//   {count, windowStart} record. The window is governed by `windowStart`
+//   INSIDE the value — NOT by the cache TTL. The TTL is set to 2x the window
+//   purely as garbage-collection so idle keys evaporate; a mid-window write
+//   therefore does NOT slide the window (which a TTL-as-window design would).
+//
+//   Fail-open: any caching-store fault (cold connect, store outage) is
+//   warned-once-per-minute and degrades to a per-instance in-memory Map —
+//   same shape as the old ip-rate-limit.js. If even that path throws we allow
+//   the request. A rate limiter must never take down the surface it protects.
+//
+// ── Known limitation (documented on purpose) ────────────────────────────────
+//   cds-caching exposes get/set only — there is NO atomic incr. Concurrent
+//   cross-instance updates therefore read-modify-write the same record and can
+//   UNDER-count (two racers both read count=5, both write 6). The effective
+//   limit is thus LOOSER than configured, never tighter — acceptable for rate

+// Dual dialect, mirroring srv/lib/embedding-query.js:
+//   - HANA: raw db.run() with the native COSINE_SIMILARITY scalar. Raw SQL (not
+//     CDS QL) so we can SELECT the NCLOB text column alongside the cosine scalar
+//     without tripping LOB-locator expiry (the vector column is only READ by the

+//   - SQLite (unit tests): fetch rows via CDS QL and rank in JS.
+//
+// The whole surface fails open: any corpus that errors contributes [] rather
+// than throwing, so a backfill gap or DB hiccup degrades results instead of

+ * headings in document order.

  *   - Ensures YAML frontmatter carries `slug` and `canonical_url` (injected when

  *     tags, …). When the source has no frontmatter, a minimal block is prepended.
  *   - Strips authoring image-directive comments (`<!-- border -->`, `<!-- size:… -->`)
  *     that precede an image, so the image renders in a plain markdown viewer.
+ *   - When `repo` + `branch` are supplied (from `RepoCatalog`, keyed by slug),
+ *     rewrites relative image paths to absolute `raw.githubusercontent.com` URLs so
+ *     an agent/LLM consuming the `.md` off-domain can resolve them (#2235). All

+ *     bare-filename layout (`001-find-interface.png`) with the same rule.

- *   - Rewrite relative image paths to absolute. Correct absolutization needs the
- *     per-tutorial repo + branch, which is a build/publish-time concern (not
