Drops Roboto + IBM Plex Mono from Google Fonts, replaces with IBM Plex
Sans (matching dobetternorge.no). Nav badge loses bordered pill, becomes
plain uppercase label with slash separator. Footer cut from 3-column
text-wall (~300 words) to compact 2-column layout (~50 words) — logo +
tagline + privacy note on left, 5 links in 2 columns on right.

Removes the logged-in vs logged-out page bifurcation. index.php now
always renders the public landing (tools overview, hero, trust section)
with auth-conditional nav/hero CTAs and a two-column member/register
gate shown only to unauthenticated visitors. Authenticated workbench
extracted to new dashboard.php. Adds 8 new i18n keys across all 4
languages and new CSS for auth-nav, hero CTA, two-column gate, and
register buttons.

Each landing card now links to preview.php?tool=SLUG — a dedicated
public page with an expanded pitch, 4 capability bullets, and a
realistic Norwegian-language sample input+output for all 7 tools.
- preview.php — new public page (no auth required), switch-driven content
- includes/tool-svgs.php — extracted $toolSvgs into shared include
- index.php — require tool-svgs.php, card href → preview.php?tool=SLUG
- assets/css/tools.css — lt-preview-* component styles appended

Copies GcpSpeechClient into the tools repo so it's deployed with the code;
removes the broken dbnToolsAiPortalRoot() path that resolved to a nonexistent
/home/dobetternorge/ai-portal directory. Also restarted the CPU Whisper
service which had a stuck CLOSE_WAIT socket causing silent fetch failures.

Removes user-facing engine/model/key/beam controls. The server now picks
the best available engine automatically:
1. Microsoft Azure Speech — short clips (≤1MB, no diarization, audio/*)
2. Google Cloud Speech v2 — long audio, diarization, all languages
3. OpenAI Whisper GPU — local fallback
Results display which provider was used (e.g. "Transcribed with Google
Cloud Speech") via transcript-engine-badge and traceMeta.

dbn-legal-agent is not suitable for structured RAG synthesis:
- Fine-tune contamination appends feedback loops after JSON output
- 7-min latency vs 45s for gpt-4o-mini
- 8B base gives weaker instruction-following on complex JSON contracts
- No improvement in citation accuracy (RAG provides the legal content)
dbn-legal-agent kept for open-ended freeform Norwegian legal Q&A
where citation structure isn't required. BVJ synthesis now uses
azure_mini|azure_full|gpu only.

Party extraction: wider excerpt (12k chars), cleaner prompt, fallback for
root-level array responses, log raw response on unexpected structure.
dbn-legal-agent synthesis: replace blocking curl (200s timeout) with an
SSE streaming approach (CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION). PHP now emits keepalive
progress events every 15 s during generation, preventing browser network
errors on slow ~6 t/s cuttlefish inference. Timeout extended to 660 s.

7-step agent pipeline: document classification, party extraction, timeline
extraction, corpus RAG (child_welfare/echr/family_core/bufdir_guidance),
and synthesis using the user's chosen engine (including dbn-legal-agent).
Progressive NDJSON streaming renders doc_meta, parties, and timeline cards
before the final advocacy brief and procedural red flags arrive.

- Source modal now shows LLM-generated document summary (lazy-gen + cached
in documents.summary) instead of raw chunk text; toggle reveals matched
chunk; "View all chunks" button fetches every chunk of the document via
new api/document-chunks.php endpoint
- Each sub-question card gets a "Branch ↓" button that pre-fills the query
with that sub-question and shows a context panel with the prior brief
summary; prior_context + branch_notes are injected into interpretSeed()
and synthesise() so the LLM knows where the research is coming from
- Upload document summaries generated at synthesis time and attached to
upload sources alongside corpus summaries
- DB: documents.summary TEXT column added to bnl_corpus on chloe

- Replace combined echr_hague slice with echr (Art.8+9, HUDOC, NIM) and hague (INCADAT,
cross-border abduction) as separate toggles; echr defaults ON, hague defaults OFF
- Add norwegian_courts slice: Domstol (src 5,26) + Rettspraksis.no (src 33, 482 docs)
- Add bufdir_guidance slice: Barneombudet (19), Bufdir (20), Statsforvalteren (31)
- Add dbn_resources slice: DBN website pages (flashcards, resource directory), defaults OFF
- Replace isWebsiteChunk() with slice-aware shouldExcludeChunk(): always strips EU AI Act
chunks (EUR-Lex source 7 leaks through when Qdrant runs unconstrained) and DBN website
pages unless dbn_resources slice is explicitly ON
- Update SLICE_DEFS in advocate.js and deep-research.js to match all 8 slices
- Backward compat: echr_hague key in incoming requests fans out to echr+hague

health.php: Add azure_search check — calls /$count endpoint and
reports doc count in the index. Reads DBN_AZURE_SEARCH_{ENDPOINT,KEY,INDEX}.
corpus-search.php: Add azure mode — semantic + vector hybrid search
via Azure AI Search bnl-legal-v2. Embeds query with LiteLLM
nomic-embed-text; expands keepCats to include government-policy,
health-law, social-services, labour-law, immigration (previously
blocked by contamination workaround, now safe to include).

New /advocate.php tab: user selects who they represent (biological
father, mother, foster carer, CWS, etc.) and the agent takes their
side entirely. Adversarial sub-questions target supporting Lovdata
statutes + ECHR precedents; synthesis returns client_strengths[] and
opposing_weaknesses[] alongside the advocate brief.
- DeepResearchAgent: add advocateRole param to run(), interpretSeed(),
expandQueries(), synthesise(). Neutral path unchanged (empty string).
- api/deep-research.php: extract + validate advocate_role from payload;
telemetry logs tool='advocate' vs 'deep_research'.
- advocate.php: new page with role dropdown (presets + custom), same
corpus slices/engine/controls/upload zone as deep research.
- assets/js/advocate.js: page-scoped JS; renders advocate banner,
client strengths card (teal), advocate brief, opposing weaknesses
card (amber), sub-Q cards, sources, uncertainty, next step.
- assets/css/tools.css: append .adv-* rules (~120 lines).
- includes/layout.php: add Advocate nav tab between Deep research and
Summarize.
- index.php: add Advocate cap-card tile.

- api/corpus-documents.php: paginated document browser by category or source name
- corpus.php: search bar with mode+language pills, Browse docs button on each category card with drill-down panel, expand toggle on each source row showing doc count and scraper class
- tools.css: all new corpus interactive styles appended

Embed timeout: bnl_corpus Ollama embeds ~49 chunks sequentially in CPU mode,
easily exceeding the 60s cURL timeout. Now truncates upload text to
MAX_UPLOAD_CHARS before chunking (~21 chunks max) and embeds in batches of 5
with a progress flush between batches to keep the stream alive.
SQL error: bnl_corpus.documents lacks the temporal columns added in migration
136 (valid_from, valid_until, etc.). dbnV6QueryDocumentMeta uses IFNULL which
doesn't protect against missing columns. Replaced with a direct query using
only the columns confirmed to exist on this instance.

Adds /corpus.php — a data transparency page showing what powers the
legal tools: 9 coverage categories with live doc counts, a full
sources table pulled from the corpus DB, the AI stack (LLMs, Whisper,
Qdrant, Azure AI Search, embeddings, chunking), and a pipeline flow
diagram. Stats are live via a new /api/corpus-stats.php endpoint
(queries dobetter_rag + bnl_admin). The reasoning sidebar is repurposed
as a Corpus health panel on this page.
Also ships the in-progress timeline background events toggle:
API and UI wired together via include_background param.

AiGateway uses getenv(LITELLM_MASTER_KEY) + stream_context HTTP which was
failing on the chloe virtualhost process. New dbnToolsLiteLLMEmbedBatch()

pattern already proven for LLM calls. Removes AiGateway dependency from
DeepResearchAgent entirely.

Three user-flagged issues after the first real run with a 920KB sakkyndig PDF:
1. dobetternorge.no marketing-website chunks leaked into the retrieval pool.
ClientRagPipeline::searchAll defaults include_beta_website=true; we now
pass false for both website flags, AND defensively drop any returned
chunk whose source_name contains "website" or title contains
"dobetternorge.no" before it can pollute synthesis.
2. Brief returned was "just a paragraph". Bumped synthesis max_tokens
2200→3200, raised timeout 120→180s, and rewrote the prompt to require
400-900 words with min 4 paragraphs when source_count>=3, covering EACH
sub-question in its own paragraph. Now also passes authority + jurisdiction
into the sources block so the model can pinpoint statutes correctly.
3. No way to see what each "sub-question agent" researched or click through
to the source articles. Restructured the results panel so per-sub-question
report cards now render ABOVE the synthesised brief. Each report shows the
question, the rationale, and the top 3 retrieved sources for that sub-Q
with title→deep link + 1-line excerpt. Brief follows. Consolidated
numbered sources list at the bottom, with titles as deep links too.
Deep-link construction: source_url is hydrated via dbnV6QueryDocumentMeta
in a single batched call after retrieval. For Lovdata sources with a
section_title containing §<n>, the link is path-anchored to that section
(/§43). For other hosts (HUDOC, Regjeringen, Bufdir, etc.) we link to the
document root URL.
Telemetry: trace_metadata now carries retrieval_counts {raw_corpus,
filtered_website, post_filter_corpus, raw_upload, after_dedupe, after_topk}
so future regressions are diagnosable from the metadata.jsonl log alone.
The completion status pill surfaces the corpus/website/upload split.
Previously the endpoint returned a single JSON object at the end. Apache+
PHP-FPM buffers the entire body until PHP exits, so a 160s azure_full run
caused the browser to drop the fetch as "Failed to fetch" while the server
was still synthesising — the response then arrived to a dead socket.
Switch to application/x-ndjson with one event per line. The endpoint emits
'progress', 'start', 'step' (running/complete/warning/error), 'subq', and a
final 'final' event carrying the full result payload. Output buffering is
explicitly disabled so each line flushes through Apache as soon as the
agent emits it.
DbnDeepResearchAgent::run() now accepts an optional ?callable $emit and
fires step:running before each step + step:complete after, plus a subq
event per sub-question retrieval round.
JS reads response.body as a stream, splits on newlines, updates the
trace panel live, and renders the final result when the final event
arrives. Status pill shows live progress detail (e.g. "Synthesising with
Azure gpt-4o — this is the slowest step…").
Engine row in the form now shows expected duration per engine
(~15-45s mini, ~60-180s full, ~30-90s GPU) so users know what they're in
for before clicking Run.
New surface at /deep-research.php where the user pastes a question or
uploads PDF/DOCX/TXT case files and a LLM-orchestrated agent researches
the Do Better Norge legal corpus from 3-5 angles, with hybrid retrieval,
cross-encoder rerank, and synthesis that emits an inline-[n]-cited
markdown brief plus a numbered sources panel.
Uploaded documents are chunked + embedded in memory only (nomic-embed-text
via LiteLLM) and searched alongside the shared corpus during the same
request — never persisted to disk, DB, or Qdrant.
Reuses ClientRagPipeline::searchAll (hybrid + rerank), dbnV6 slice
helpers, and the existing extract.php text-extraction logic via a new
dbnToolsExtractUploadedFile() helper. Also adds dbnToolsCallGpuLlm()
helper in bootstrap.php — fixes a latent bug where LegalTools.php
was already calling that name with no definition.
Search.php is unchanged.
The .env default DBN_AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_DEPLOYMENT is gpt-4o, so the
azure_mini branch (which just called ->chat() without withDeployment)
was silently hitting gpt-4o too. Both UI engine options resolved to
the same model, and timed out together on long Norwegian documents.
Fix: explicitly route azure_mini → gpt-4o-mini in both timeline and
redact paths.

Adds Nordic-pack regex patterns for:
- DD.MM.YYYY / DD/MM/YYYY / YYYY-MM-DD
- Year ranges (2011/2012, 2018-2019)
- Month + year (Norwegian + English, with optional day)
- Year preceded by temporal preposition (i 2015, fra 2019, rundt 2018)
Also renames the entity toggle from "Dates of birth" to "Dates" (broader
scope) in all four languages, and expands the LLM prompt so soft date
references in free text are caught even when regex misses them.
