docs: portable runbook and Diataxis index (#27)

Public face is a product, not a laptop tool. Run steps live in
docs/runbook.md; decisions D3/D6/D14/D15/D17/D18 stay in the docs index.

 - `info` root = descriptive/narrative leafs, searchable, never asserted as fact.
 - Search is deduction: `facts` → `info` → `web-search` (second independent
   source). An answer is `confirmed` only if it comes off the facts root.
+- Fact-check every *claim* (facts → info → live → web), not every edit or
+  syntax tweak. PicoClaw: `search` then `get` then `audit` before a factual

-# CRM association proof (oo CLI ↔ corpus)
-
-Proven with `oo` (eslider/go-onlyoffice) against the OnlyOffice portal
-(`office.produktor.io`). Portal CRM is the SSOT for company ↔ person ↔
-project associations; the corpus SoT (`eslider/cv/projects/knowledge-mesh-seed.yaml`)
-is the second, independent source. Facts that can be backed by both are
-written to the brain under `root=facts` by `bin/facts/crm`.
-
-## What was verified
-
-- Logical counts (portal MySQL): 1300 contacts = 897 persons + 404 companies,
-  198 projects, 998 deals, 939 project↔contact links.
-- Every client company linked to a project has ≥1 person underneath.
-- Every person `company_id` resolves to an existing company.
-- Corpus org list (9) maps 1:1 onto CRM companies:
-  ProProdukt SL / produktor.io, Dyvenia, Immowelt AG, WhereGroup,
-  Keynote SIGOS, D2S/SYSTEMS, GRID, Pack und Cup, Markets Platform.
-- 78 person↔company association facts written to the brain
-  (`how=crm-crosscheck`, `type=association`). Recall@5 in `bin/kb/eval` = 1.0.
-
-## Mistakes found
-
-| # | Mistake | Fix |
-|---|---------|-----|
-| 1 | Duplicate legal entity `GoldenRatio.Exchange` (contact 759) vs `Golden Ratio Exchange` (763); 3 deals (211, 287, 559) were linked to 759 | `oo contacts merge 759 763` — 763 kept, 759 removed, deal links re-pointed to 763 |
-| 2 | `env/`-wide: OnlyOffice creds file used wrong UX (user `eslider`, password with `$2` suffix) making `oo` auth fail | `.env` fixed to `eslider@gmail.com` + clean password; `.env` stays gitignored |
-
-## Gates after fix
-
-- `uv run python -m unittest discover -s bin/tools -t .` → 26 tests OK
-- `bin/facts/audit self` + `bin/facts/audit db` → ok
-- `bin/kb/eval` → recall@5 = 1.0

+
+There is **no official Qwen3.6-9B**. Do not invent that id.
+
+Qwen3.5-9B has documented upstream tool-call XML bugs. A 9B win on tools
+is only claimed if this bake-off records OpenAI `tool_calls` (not
+`<tool_call>` XML in `content`).
+
+The 2dph API image does not `COPY` GGUF/safetensors. Pull at runtime into
+the `reasoner-ollama` volume.

+## Live CPU run
+
+Host sidecar: Ollama **0.32.9**, `OLLAMA_NUM_GPU=0`, `127.0.0.1:11435`,
+`device: cpu`, `vram_mb: 0`. Date: 2026-08-13. Same three prompts
+(`search` / `get` / `audit`). PicoClaw binary was not used; the OpenAI
+tools payload is the surface it would send.

+| Model | HF id | tool_call | xml_leak | rss_mb | latency_ms (search/get/audit) |

+| `Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B` | `Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B` | not loaded | — | — | too heavy for this CPU box |
+
+Both loaded models emitted OpenAI `tool_calls` (not `<tool_call>` XML) on
+this runtime. **Do not claim 9B is better at tools** — the score is tied

+- Go (see `go.mod`)

+

+uv pip install -r requirements.lock.txt
+eval "$(bin/cgo/zig env)"   # when compiling Ladybug read tools
+go test ./...

+
+| File / env | Purpose |
+|------------|---------|
+| `$BRAIN_SEARCH_ENV` (default `$HOME/.config/brain/search.env`) | `BRAIN_SEARCH_URL` (SearXNG). Optional Basic Auth. |
+| `$HOME/.config/brain/db-profiles.yml` | read-only Postgres profiles (OnlyOffice via tunnel) |
+
+If the host already runs SearXNG, point `BRAIN_SEARCH_URL` at it. Do not start
+a second copy (D3). Optional Compose instance:
+
+```bash
+SEARXNG_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32) docker compose --profile searxng up -d
+```
+
+That binds `127.0.0.1:8888`. JSON format must stay enabled.
+
+## Index then search
+
+Write path is Compose profile `index` (Python Ladybug rebuild) until
+`brain/add` is v2. The operator command is `bin/brain/index.go`.
+
+```bash
+bin/brain/index.go --rebuild
+bin/brain/search.go "LadybugDB vector index"     # facts → info → web (D17)
+bin/brain/search.go "upstream flag" --no-web
+bin/brain/get.go <id> --body
+bin/brain/stats.go
+```
+
+`--hop` is not implemented. Empty web results are `throttled`, not absence.

-
-## How to read it
-
-- **Baseline** is what every single message pays for: `AGENTS.md` plus anything
-  eagerly linked from it. Keep it small; it multiplies by message count.
-- **Cache thrash** matters more than raw size. Editing a file that sits early in
-  the context invalidates the prompt cache for the whole session.
-- **by_tool bytes** shows where the real spend is. Usually it is unfiltered
-  command output, not documentation.
-
-## Rule
-
-Measure before and after. A claim that something "reduces tokens" without a
-before and an after number is an opinion, not a result.

 # Tuning the SearXNG instance

-- The default engine set for the `general` category is only `duckduckgo`,
+```bash
-  `brave` and `startpage`. `brave` and `startpage` sit in
+SEARXNG_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32) docker compose --profile searxng up -d
-  `Suspended: too many requests` or `Suspended: CAPTCHA` almost permanently, so
-  in practice a single engine carries every query.
-- About 25 probe requests over a few minutes pushed `duckduckgo` into `CAPTCHA`
-  as well. The instance then answered HTTP 200 with `results: []` and an empty
-  `unresponsive_engines` - indistinguishable from "nothing found" without the
-  client-side handling we added.
-- Recovery took roughly six minutes.
-
-## Changes
-
-1. **Allow our egress IP through the limiter.** In `limiter.toml`:
-
-   ```toml
-   [botdetection.ip_lists]
-   pass_ip = ["77.7.46.234"]
 ```
 
-2. **Shorten the suspensions.** In `settings.yml` the defaults are 24 hours for
+Pinned image: `docker.io/searxng/searxng:2026.8.10-0a118066d`.
-   a CAPTCHA and one hour for too-many-requests, which is far longer than the
+Settings: `deploy/searxng/settings.yml` + `limiter.toml` (RFC1918 `pass_ip`,
-   condition lasts:
+short `suspended_times`, `formats: [html, json]`). No secrets in git. Bind is
+`127.0.0.1:8888`.
 
-   ```yaml
+## Why the client classifies empty as throttled
-   search:
-     suspended_times:
-       SearxEngineCaptcha: 300
-       SearxEngineTooManyRequests: 120
-       SearxEngineAccessDenied: 300
-   ```
 
-3. **Give `general` more than one working engine.** `google` and `wikipedia`
+A default engine set under load answers HTTP 200 with `results: []` (sometimes
-   report `enabled: true` in `/config` yet never appear in a `general` response,
+with empty `unresponsive_engines`). That is indistinguishable from "nothing
-   so they are not in the default set. Put them in it; one live engine per
+found" unless the client refuses to call it absence.
-   category is a single point of failure.
 
-4. **Keep the JSON API on.** `formats: [html, json]` must stay, otherwise every
+## Instance-side levers
-   client here breaks.
+
+1. **Allow the callers through the limiter** (`limiter.toml` `pass_ip`). The
+   Compose file uses RFC1918 only.
+2. **Shorten suspensions** (`settings.yml` `search.suspended_times`) so a
+   CAPTCHA does not last a day.
+3. **More than one engine in `general`.** One live engine is a single point of
+   failure. This repo enables bing, google, duckduckgo, wikipedia.
+4. **Keep the JSON API on.** `formats: [html, json]` must stay.
 
 ## Verifying
 
-Ten requests in a row used to suspend the instance for minutes. After the
-change they should all answer:
-

 for i in $(seq 10); do
-  bin/web/search "test $i" -n 1 --refresh --json | jq -r .status
+  bin/web/search.go "test $i" -n 1 --refresh --json | jq -r .status
 done
 ```
 
-Ten lines of `ok` means it is fixed.
