 - Ordinary `/v1/feedback` is rating telemetry only. Query, answer, note, model,
   page and conversation identity are discarded server-side; durable feedback is
   opt-in and marked `trainingStatus="telemetry"`.
-- Current schema v4 keeps feedback telemetry and explicit content contribution
+- Schema v4 keeps feedback telemetry and explicit content contribution
   structurally separate. Contribution has two record families: `recordType="qa"`
-  for selected/rated Q&A and `recordType="conversation"` for one ordered
-  `messages[]` record. Whole-conversation mode does not explode turns into
-  independent training rows.
-- The browser's dedicated **Contribute to dataset** sheet is the only content-bearing
-  contribution surface. **This Q&A**, **Rated answers**, and **Whole conversation**
-  converge on the same exact-JSON inspection, privacy preflight, consent, quarantine,
-  receipt-delete, and post-promotion withdrawal lifecycle. Share/export owns no
-  contribution controls.
-- Schema v4 requires contribution consent `2.0.0`. Legacy schema v2/v3 clients may
-  continue using historical consent `1.0.0` for compatibility; that legacy consent
-  is not accepted for schema v4's broader conversation-record contract.
-- `/v1/contribute` requires `consentFlag=true` and the current
-  `consentVersion`. Accepted content enters the mutable contribution receipt
-  ledger with `trainingStatus="quarantined"`; it is not written directly to
-  Git/HF/provider mirrors. The default `memory` backend is process-local; the
-  optional `sqlite` backend is restart-durable/local-transactional. The optional
-  `redis` backend provides one shared atomic receipt authority across replicas when
-  every replica is pointed at the same intended Redis consistency domain.
-- The receipt has a separate delete capability. Before promotion, DELETE removes
-  raw content from the active review ledger. This is a logical/content lifecycle
-  guarantee, **not** a forensic promise about SQLite pages/WAL, filesystem
-  snapshots, backups, or provider infrastructure.
-- Only the operator review endpoint, protected by `CONTRIBUTION_REVIEW_TOKEN`,
-  may atomically claim and promote rows to durable `trainingStatus="eligible"`;
-  concurrent duplicate promotion is rejected by the lifecycle state machine.
-- The receipt capability survives promotion as a server-side hash. A later
-  DELETE records a privacy-minimal `withdraw` tombstone keyed by `_dedup_key`,
-  suppresses that eligible row from ordinary training output, and attempts
-  best-effort removal from provider current views. Versioned repository history
-  is not claimed erased.
-- Client model/provider metadata is evidence `client_reported`, not verified
-  identity. Historical model metadata is `legacy_unverified`.
-- `deduplicate_dataset.py` fails closed: default training output accepts only
-  `trainingStatus="eligible"`. `--include-unreviewed` exists for explicit
-  audit/recovery and still excludes feedback telemetry.
-- Physical deletion after promotion to versioned/mirrored storage is **not
-  guaranteed** by this implementation. Withdrawal is an enforceable training
-  exclusion in the dataset builder, but it must not be described as global
-  physical erasure.
-- `CONTRIBUTION_REQUIRE_DURABLE=true` can fail closed unless the local ledger
-  reports restart durability. `CONTRIBUTION_REQUIRE_SHARED=true` independently
-  requires shared transactional authority. SQLite closes the first property; Redis
-  can close the second when correctly deployed. Repository code does not infer
-  Redis persistence/backup durability from shared coordination alone.

+  mode is not exploded into unrelated training rows.
+- **Contribute to dataset** is the only content-bearing contribution surface.
+  **This Q&A**, **Rated answers**, and **Whole conversation** converge on exact-JSON
+  inspection, privacy preflight, explicit versioned consent, quarantine/review,
+  private management receipt, pending delete, and post-approval withdrawal.
+- Schema v4 contribution consent is `2.0.0`. Legacy schema v2/v3 clients may use
+  historical consent `1.0.0` only for the legacy contract.
+- `/v1/contribute` always creates a lifecycle receipt first and starts at
+  `trainingStatus="quarantined"`; quarantined content is never ordinary training
+  input. The lifecycle backend may be `memory`, `sqlite`, or `redis`.
+- **Recommended human-review mode:** `CONTRIBUTION_REVIEW_MODE=provider-pr`. The
+  Primary storage target receives a native Hugging Face/GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket
+  review object. The configured canonical branch (`main` by default) is the
+  eligibility boundary. Merge means eligible. Close/decline remains
+  training-ineligible and the browser renders it as **NOT ACCEPTED**.
+- **Compatibility mode:** `CONTRIBUTION_REVIEW_MODE=ledger`. Content stays in the
+  lifecycle ledger until the authenticated `/promote` endpoint, protected by
+  `CONTRIBUTION_REVIEW_TOKEN`, writes/promotes eligible bytes.
+- Only the **Primary** owns review authority. Mirrors do not independently approve
+  or reject the same contribution. An external Primary UI merge is detected on a
+  later status/management check and ratchets the receipt to `eligible`. Current
+  code does not synchronously fan that external merge out to mirrors.
+- The receipt has a separate delete/withdraw capability. Before approval, DELETE
+  closes the pending provider review when applicable and removes active receipt
+  content. After approval, the same capability records a privacy-minimal
+  withdrawal tombstone and attempts best-effort current-view removal.
+- Provider-review durability and receipt durability are different. A PR/MR can
+  survive a proxy restart while `CONTRIBUTION_LEDGER_BACKEND=memory` loses the
+  contributor-management authority. Use persistent SQLite for one instance or
+  shared Redis for replicas when long-lived receipt management matters.
+- `deduplicate_dataset.py` fails closed: ordinary training output accepts only
+  `trainingStatus="eligible"` and applies later withdrawal state.
+- Physical deletion from versioned repository history, database pages/WAL,
+  backups, CDN/provider logs, or infrastructure snapshots is **not guaranteed**.
+  Withdrawal is an enforceable training-exclusion/current-view operation, not a
+  claim of global forensic erasure.
+- `CONTRIBUTION_REQUIRE_DURABLE=true` can fail closed unless receipt storage is
+  restart-durable. `CONTRIBUTION_REQUIRE_SHARED=true` independently requires a
+  shared transactional receipt authority.

+tokens, contribution content, and the management token are not included in that
+support metadata. This gives participants a safe reference to send maintainers if an

 Record-storage provider control responses are bounded independently from intentional model/dataset downloads. The default ceiling is **4 MiB** and `AI_RECORD_STORAGE_CONTROL_RESPONSE_MAX_BYTES` is clamped to **16 MiB**. Provider mutations that do not require response content are streamed and closed without buffering a body; metadata JSON is byte-counted before parsing. Custom `api_base` is supported only for GitLab and must be HTTPS with a valid host and no userinfo, query, fragment, control characters, or traversal.
 
+### Native maintainer feedback review (`FEEDBACK_REVIEW_MODE=provider-pr`)
+
+This is a separate content-bearing workflow from anonymous `/v1/feedback` telemetry.
+The browser must hold the current versioned **Share feedback with maintainers**
+permission before it sends one Q&A + rating + optional note to `/v1/feedback/review`.
+Telemetry consent never authorizes this endpoint.
+
+The Primary storage provider owns one stable feedback review per participant
+management receipt:
+
+```text
+first quick/detailed share -> feedback PR/MR #27 · revision 1
+identical share again      -> no-op
+changed rating/note        -> feedback PR/MR #27 · revision 2
+maintainer merge           -> accepted maintainer feedback
+maintainer close/decline   -> rejected
+participant withdrawal     -> close pending review or remove current canonical feedback view
+```
+
+Feedback files use the target's configured `feedback/` folder and an opaque
+`fb_<review-key>.jsonl` filename. User text is not placed in branch names or review
+titles. A merged feedback row remains `_source=feedback` and
+the review ref carries `trainingStatus=eligible`, but the API remains `trainingEligible=false` until a maintainer merge. After merge the canonical Q&A is eligible and includes server-derived `qualityScore`/`qualityPercent` plus the raw rating scale.
+
+The feedback-review receipt ledger is separate from the contribution receipt ledger
+so the two authorities cannot be confused. By default its backend/durability policy
+inherits the contribution ledger configuration, but it may be configured
+independently. Redis URLs and feedback ledger key secrets belong in Space Secrets.
+
+Read [FEEDBACK_REVIEW_GUIDE.md](../FEEDBACK_REVIEW_GUIDE.md) for the browser UX,
+reviewer workflow, telemetry explanation, update/no-op semantics, and troubleshooting.
+
 ### Native provider review quarantine (`CONTRIBUTION_REVIEW_MODE=provider-pr`)
 
 This mode deliberately separates **durable review presence** from **training eligibility**. The submitted record is written to its final canonical path on a provider-native review ref, never directly to the canonical branch. Review refs use an opaque receipt-derived key such as `ai-contrib-<24 hex>`; user text, page titles, e-mail addresses, and other contribution content are never placed in branch names or review titles.

+Mutable contribution receipt lifecycle control plane.
+
+The contribution data path has two very different storage needs:
+
+* pending review rows must live in a mutable store so a participant can delete
+  them before promotion and reviewers can atomically claim exactly one promotion;
+* promoted rows may be copied to append-only/versioned providers, but the receipt
+  lifecycle must remain mutable so a later withdrawal can be represented
+  truthfully without pretending that Git history was physically erased.
+
+This module therefore stores only the *control plane*.  Pending canonical rows are
+kept only until promotion/deletion/expiry.  After promotion the raw rows are
+removed from the ledger and only bounded lifecycle metadata, deduplication keys,
+a digest of the participant delete/withdraw capability, and provider record-path

+
+``sqlite``

+    It survives process restarts when its file lives on durable storage and
+    prevents duplicate promotion with transactional state transitions. It is

+"""Canonical schema and normalization for collection records.
+
+Schema v4 separates telemetry from two explicit contribution record families:
+
+* ``feedback`` is privacy-minimal rating telemetry.  Content, model, page and
+  conversation identity are discarded even when legacy/direct callers submit them;
+  ``trainingStatus`` is ``telemetry`` for privacy-minimal rating telemetry.
+  Explicit content-bearing feedback review is a separate consented path and may
+  carry future ``eligible`` bytes that become canonical only after maintainer merge.
+* ``contribution`` is explicit-content intake. Q&A records retain the historical
+  ``query``/``answer`` shape while conversation records carry one ordered ``messages``
+  array. Both carry versioned consent, enter ``quarantined`` state, and are
+  training-eligible only after an authorised review promotes them.
+
+Historical v1/v2/v3 rows remain readable through :func:`normalize_record`, but old
+contributions become ``legacy_unreviewed`` rather than silently entering training.
+Client IP addresses are never dataset fields.  See ``DATASET_COLLECTION_GUIDANCE.md``
+for lifecycle and retention policy.

+    Notes
+    -----
+    Developer note — Security
+        Applied to every ``*FeedbackId`` / ``conversationId`` field written by

+        type, or a multi-MB string) from being written verbatim into the
+        dataset.  Truncation is preferred over rejection so a single bad field
+        does not fail an otherwise-valid submission — see Principle 2 (no
+        silent failures): truncation is itself loud in the sense that a
+        truncated UUID will simply never match anything in
+        ``deduplicate_dataset.py``'s join logic, which is the correct,
+        self-healing outcome for a corrupted ID.

+Mutable Global Share storage control plane.
+
+Global Share is a capability-bearing lifecycle, not a cache.  This module keeps
+that lifecycle behind one bounded store interface so a deployment can choose:
+
+``memory``
+    Compatibility/development only. Process-local and lost at restart.
+``sqlite``
+    Restart-durable transactional storage for one local filesystem authority.
+``redis``
+    Shared transactional storage for multiple replicas in one Redis consistency
+    domain. Redis durability is reported only when the operator explicitly
+    confirms it; shared is not synonymous with durable.
+
+Public Share identifiers are never stored as SQLite/Redis keys verbatim.  Their
+SHA-256 digest is sufficient for lookup because generated identifiers carry at
+least 128 bits of entropy, while keeping bearer read capabilities out of routine
+backend key listings.

+#
+# Single source of truth for shared constants, pure helper functions, and
+# type aliases used by the deployed proxy (_hf_spaces_proxy/app.py) and the
+# local development proxy (dev_proxy.py).
+#
+# Import discipline
+# -----------------
+# Only the Python standard library is imported here.  httpx, fastapi, and
+# torch are NOT imported so this module can be sourced by stdlib-only tools
+# (dev_proxy) and tested in isolation without any network or GPU environment.
+#
+# Routing paths (v6.0.0)
+# ----------------------
+# Three ordered routing paths — each with its own configurable read timeout:
+#
+#   Path 1 — BACKEND_URL set (explicit override)
+#     Forward to BACKEND_URL.  Only BACKEND_AUTH_TOKEN may be attached by callers.
+#     Read timeout: proxy_timeout kwarg (env: PROXY_TIMEOUT, default 600 s).
+#
+#   Path 2 — Model namespace in HF_SPACES_MODEL_NAMESPACES
+#     Model owner (e.g. "scikit-plots") matches a custom namespace.
+#     Forward to HF_SPACES_MODEL_URL (the ai-model HF Space, CPU inference).
+#     These models have no HF Inference Provider → direct HF API returns 404/503.
+#     Read timeout: path2_read_timeout kwarg (env: PATH2_TIMEOUT, default 600 s).
+#     CPU inference on a 7B model takes 4-5 minutes; 600 s gives safe headroom.
+#
+#   Path 3 — Standard HF Inference API (default)
+#     Model has a registered HF Inference Provider (openai/*, Qwen/*, etc.).
+#     Forward to HF_BASE/{model}/v1/chat/completions with HF_TOKEN.
+#     Read timeout: path3_read_timeout kwarg (env: PATH3_TIMEOUT, default 120 s).
+#     HF Serverless API (GPU-backed) normally responds within 30-90 s.
+#
+# Breaking changes v4.0.0 → v5.0.0
+# ----------------------------------
+# + DEFAULT_PROXY_TIMEOUT raised from 120 s to 600 s.
+#   Root cause: 120 s was shorter than the 4-5 min CPU inference on the
+#   ai-model HF Space, causing every request to return a network error.
+# + DEFAULT_PATH2_READ_TIMEOUT added (600 s) — ai-model space per-path timeout.
+# + DEFAULT_PATH3_READ_TIMEOUT added (120 s) — HF API per-path timeout.
+# + _resolve_upstream_url now accepts path2_read_timeout, path3_read_timeout,
+#   and proxy_timeout keyword-only parameters.
+# + _resolve_upstream_url return type changed from tuple[str, dict] to
+#   tuple[str, dict, float] — the third element is the per-path read timeout.
+#   Callers must unpack all three values.
+# + load_proxy_env extended with path2_read_timeout and path3_read_timeout.
+#
+# Breaking changes v5.0.0 → v6.0.0
+# ----------------------------------
+# + DEFAULT_HF_BASE changed from ``https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models``
+#   to ``https://router.huggingface.co``.
+#   Root cause: api-inference.huggingface.co was DNS-unresolvable ([Errno -5]
+#   EAI_NODATA / EAI_NONAME) from within HF Docker Spaces.
+#   router.huggingface.co is the current HF Inference Providers endpoint and
+#   resolves correctly in all deployment environments.
+#   Callers who hard-code ``HF_BASE`` to the old hostname must migrate to
+#   the new router URL.
+#
+# New in v6.1.0 — Three-type HF token system
+# -------------------------------------------
+# + ``HFTokenType`` literal type alias added: ``"fine-grained" | "read" |
+#   ``"write" | "unknown"``.  Maps directly to the three token types exposed
+#   in HF Settings → Tokens.
+# + ``HF_TOKEN_TYPE_*`` string constants and ``HF_INFERENCE_TOKEN_TYPES`` /
+#   ``HF_WRITE_TOKEN_TYPES`` frozensets added for type-safe comparisons.
+# + ``_classify_token_type()`` — classify a token by explicit env-var
+#   declaration (``HF_TOKEN_TYPE``, ``HF_WRITE_TOKEN_TYPE``) with a length-
+#   based heuristic fallback.
+# + ``_token_suitable_for_inference()`` / ``_token_suitable_for_writes()``
+#   predicates for principle-of-least-privilege validation.
+# + ``_validate_token_config()`` — returns actionable WARNING / ERROR strings
+#   for token-type mismatches detected at startup.
+# + ``_token_log_fragment()`` gains an optional ``token_type`` parameter so
+#   log lines include the token type (e.g. ``hf_abcde...1234 (read)``).
+# + ``load_proxy_env()`` extended with ``hf_token_type`` and
+#   ``hf_write_token_type`` keys read from the matching env vars.
+# + ``_safe_float`` added to ``__all__`` (was importable but unadvertised).

+    and per-path read timeout.

+
+Notes
+-----
+**Developer note** — All functions are pure (no side effects, no I/O).
+Tests can import this module without a running event loop or any network.
+The proxy (FastAPI / asyncio) and dev_proxy (stdlib HTTPServer) both import
+from here so that routing and CORS logic are *never* duplicated.
+
+**Breaking change v5.0.0** — ``_resolve_upstream_url`` now returns a
+3-tuple ``(url, headers, read_timeout_s: float)`` instead of the previous
+2-tuple ``(url, headers)``.  All callers must unpack the third element or
+the per-path timeout falls through to the old flat-timeout behaviour.
+
+**Breaking change v6.0.0** — :data:`DEFAULT_HF_BASE` migrated from
+``https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models`` to
+``https://router.huggingface.co``.  The old hostname was DNS-unresolvable
+([Errno -5] EAI_NONAME) from within HF Docker Spaces.  Deployments that
+override ``HF_BASE`` to the legacy hostname must update their configuration.
+
+**Security note** — :func:`_token_log_fragment` ensures the full API token
+never appears in log output.  Never widen the exposed fragment beyond the
+current 8+4 character window without reviewing log-aggregation policy first.
+
+**Versioning note** — Bump :data:`PROXY_VERSION` on every breaking change so
+deployed Spaces and log aggregators can correlate errors to a specific release.

+# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+#
+# HuggingFace exposes exactly three token types in
+# https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens:
+#
+#   ① Fine-grained   — New-style token.  Permissions set at creation time:
+#                      choose any combination of per-repo access levels and
+#                      API capabilities.  Recommended for production because
+#                      each token carries only the minimum required scope.
+#
+#   ② Read (classic) — Legacy read-only token.  Grants read access to all
+#                      public repos and any private repos you can access.
+#                      Always includes the Serverless Inference API capability.
+#                      Cannot push commits or create repos.
+#
+#   ③ Write (classic)— Legacy read+write token.  All read permissions plus
+#                      the ability to push commits, create repos, manage
+#                      members, etc.  Over-privileged for inference-only use.
+#
+# Mapping to proxy env vars
+# ─────────────────────────
+#   HF_TOKEN       — inference token (Path 2 private Space + Path 3 HF API).
+#                    Best practice: fine-grained with inference-api scope only,
+#                    OR classic read.  Never use a write token here.
+#
+#   HF_DATASET_TOKEN — preferred dataset-persistence token. Best practice:
+#                      fine-grained scoped to ONE dataset repo. Classic Write
+#                      also works; classic Read never does.
+#   HF_WRITE_TOKEN   — historical alias for HF_DATASET_TOKEN.
+#
+# Optional type-declaration env vars (Space → Settings → Repository secrets):
+#   HF_TOKEN_TYPE         = fine-grained | read | write (default: auto-detect)
+#   HF_DATASET_TOKEN_TYPE = fine-grained | read | write (preferred)

+# Design rationale
+# ----------------
+# Two complementary layers protect PII in log output:
+#
+#   Layer 1 — call-site masking via :func:`_mask_ip`
+#     Every ``json.dumps({..., "ip": ...})`` call in ``app.py`` passes
+#     ``client_ip`` through :func:`_mask_ip` before it is serialised.
+#     This is the PRIMARY control: the raw IP never enters the log string.
+#
+#   Layer 2 — defence-in-depth via :class:`_RedactingFilter`
+#     Attached to the root logging handler.  Applies :data:`_REDACT_PATTERNS`
+#     to the fully formatted message BEFORE it is emitted.  Catches:
+#       • HF token strings leaked via exception messages from
+#         ``huggingface_hub`` (e.g. ``snapshot_download`` auth failures).
+#       • IPv4 addresses emitted by third-party library loggers (httpx,
+#         uvicorn) that bypass the call-site masking.
+#       • Any future code that forgets to call :func:`_mask_ip` first.
+#
+# IPv6 is handled exclusively at Layer 1 (:func:`_mask_ip`).  A generic
+# IPv6 regex in Layer 2 has unacceptable false-positive rates (e.g. it
+# would match ``12:34:56:78`` in log timestamps or MAC addresses).
+# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+
+def _mask_ip(ip: str) -> str:
+    """Mask a client IP address for privacy-safe log output.

+    Preserves enough network context for rate-limit and abuse analysis while
+    zeroing the host portion that identifies the individual user.

+    * **IPv4** — zero the last octet, retaining the /24 subnet.
+      ``"192.168.1.100"`` → ``"192.168.1.0"``
+    * **IPv6** — zero the interface identifier (last 64 bits), retaining
+      the /64 prefix.  ``"2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334"`` → ``"2001:db8:85a3::"``
+    * **IPv6 scope suffix** (e.g. ``"fe80::1%eth0"``) — stripped before
+      parsing (Python's :mod:`ipaddress` does not accept scope identifiers).
+    * **Non-IP strings** — returned as ``"<ip-redacted>"``.
+    * **Sentinel** ``"unknown"`` — returned unchanged (already non-identifying).

+    ip : str

+    Fine-grained tokens can write **only if** write permission was granted to

+    -----

+    **Breaking change v5.0.0** — Return type changed from
+    ``tuple[str, dict]`` to ``tuple[str, dict, float]``.  All callers must
+    unpack the third element.
+
+    **Breaking change v6.0.0** — :data:`DEFAULT_HF_BASE` changed from
+    ``https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models`` to
+    ``https://router.huggingface.co``.  The old hostname was DNS-unresolvable
+    from HF Docker Spaces ([Errno -5] EAI_NONAME).
+
+    **Developer note** — All routing logic lives here.  To add a new backend
+    type, add a new branch in this function.  Callers (``app.py``,
+    ``dev_proxy.py``) remain unchanged when they already unpack 3 values.

+Deterministic stub model — "Path 0".
+
+Purpose
+-------
+Exercise the whole client/server path with the *model* removed, so transport,
+headers, body shape, streaming, error handling, and every security property can
+be asserted deterministically, offline, and without spending a token.
+
+Why a reserved model id rather than a separate endpoint
+------------------------------------------------------
+A stub request travels the same URL, the same body shape, the same CORS
+preflight, the same auth handling, the same rate limiter, the same body
+validation, and the same SSE framing as a real one.  Only the upstream model
+call is replaced.
+
+A separate ``/v1/stub`` route would be a *second code path that can pass while
+the real one fails* — precisely the failure this rig exists to catch.  A
+client-side fake would be worse still: the wire is the thing under test.
+
+Design invariants
+-----------------
+1. **Never forwards upstream, never reads a credential.**  Path 0 is resolved
+   before any token lookup, so a stub request cannot touch a secret even by
+   accident.
+2. **Echoes header *names* and a classification, never values.**  An echo
+   endpoint that reflects ``Authorization`` verbatim is an exfiltration
+   primitive, not a test tool.
+3. **JSON only.**  Never returns HTML, so it cannot become a reflected-XSS
+   oracle on the proxy's own origin.
+4. **Off by default.**  The caller gates on ``STUB_ENABLED``; this module does
+   not enable itself.
+5. **Pure.**  No I/O, no globals, no clock beyond an explicit argument.  That
+   is what makes it unit-testable without a server, which is the only way the
+   security assertions below can be cheap enough to run every commit.
+
+Modes
+-----
+``stub/echo``
+    Structured report of exactly what arrived.  The highest-value mode: it
+    answers "what did my browser actually send?" by showing it, rather than
+    leaving it to be inferred from a network tab.
+``stub/qa``
+    Canned answers from a fixture table, with a deterministic fallback, for
+    scripting multi-turn client behaviour.
+``stub/hostile``
+    Replies containing prompt-injection payloads and malformed markup, to test
+    the *client's* rendering and guards.  Returned through the ordinary reply
+    field so it takes the ordinary rendering path — a privileged route would
+    test something the real path never does.
+``stub/error:<code>``
+    Returns that HTTP status, for client error-path tests.
+``stub/slow:<ms>``
+    Reports a delay for the caller to honour, for timeout/abort/streaming tests.

+deduplicate_dataset.py
+======================
+Canonical deduplication script for scikit-plots/ai-assistant-contributions.
+
+Supports schema versions 1 (legacy) and 2 (current).  Records are normalised
+to the canonical v2 schema by ``_dataset_schema.normalize_record`` before
+deduplication so callers can always expect the full field set.
+
+Usage
+-----
+    python deduplicate_dataset.py \
+        --repo-id scikit-plots/ai-assistant-contributions \
+        --output  clean_dataset.jsonl
+
+    # Use a local pre-downloaded snapshot (faster on re-runs):
+    python deduplicate_dataset.py \
+        --repo-id scikit-plots/ai-assistant-contributions \
+        --local-dir /tmp/ai-contributions-snapshot \
+        --output clean_dataset.jsonl
+
+Requirements
+------------
+    huggingface_hub>=0.23,<2
+    (optional) hf_transfer for faster downloads
+    (optional) _dataset_schema.py (from _hf_spaces_proxy/_utils/) for normalization
+
+Notes
+-----
+* Priority rule: "contribution" beats "feedback" for the same _dedup_key.
+* Retraction tombstones (action="retract") are always excluded from the
+  clean output even if they win the LWW race.
+* Script is idempotent: re-running produces the same output for the same
+  dataset state.
+* Output records are written with ``sort_keys=True``, so every record's
+  keys (including nested objects) appear in a fixed alphabetical order in
+  clean_dataset.jsonl.
+* Progress and statistics are emitted via the module ``logging`` logger.
+  INFO-level records route to stdout; WARNING and ERROR records route to
+  stderr — preserving the previous ``print`` /
+  ``print(..., file=sys.stderr)`` split so that callers capturing stdout
+  see only the NDJSON data.
+* When _dataset_schema is importable, records are normalised from v1 to v2
+  schema automatically (legacy _sessionId/_page/_model fields mapped to
+  conversationId/page/model; editCount/feedbackId/prevFeedbackId back-filled).
+  When _dataset_schema is not importable (standalone usage), records are used
+  as-is with a warning.

+    Notes
+    -----
+    Priority rule
+        For the same _dedup_key, the record with the lowest

+        server-write timestamp (_ts), keeping the most recent.  Deterministic:
+        given the same input, the output is always the same.
+
+    Retraction tombstones
+        action="retract" records are still used during the LWW loop
+        because their later _ts must suppress an earlier rate record
+        (correct behaviour).  They are removed in the post-loop filter so they
+        cannot leak into clean_dataset.jsonl.
+
+        Degenerate case -- orphaned tombstone wins: silently discarded.
+        Net effect: the original rating was explicitly retracted, so no record
+        is emitted for that key -- correct for training data quality.
+
+    feedbackId cross-source linkage (v2)
+        When both a feedback/ record and a contributions/ record exist
+        for the same _dedup_key, the contribution record's feedbackId
+        field points directly to the feedback record's feedbackId (1-to-1

+# Production release evidence — B39
+
+B38 made the source release path reproducible. B39 prevents **evidence substitution**:
+a scan, SBOM or attestation is not accepted merely because a file named “scan” exists.
+Every production promotion must supply one short-lived `release-evidence.json` that
+binds the evidence to the exact repository lock/SBOM and to one immutable final OCI
+image digest.
+
+## Trust boundary
+
+The evidence manifest contains **no secrets and no deployment identity**. Do not put
+Redis URLs, hostnames, usernames, tokens, passwords, registry credentials, request
+samples, user content, IP addresses, or capability values in it. Evidence artifacts
+stay beside the manifest and are referenced only by relative path + SHA-256.
+
+The verifier rejects path traversal, symlinks, stale/expired manifests, source-hash
+drift, artifact tampering, a provenance subject that does not match the final image,
+missing signature-verification evidence, unsafe infrastructure logging attestations,
+unverified Redis lifecycle properties, and risk-exception bypasses.
+

+          |
+          +--> GREEN: promotion may continue
+          `--> RED: fail closed
+```
+
+SLSA provenance is expected as an in-toto Statement v1 whose predicate type is
+`https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1` and whose subject SHA-256 is the exact final image
+digest. Signature verification remains a separate artifact because provenance JSON
+alone does not prove who signed it.
+
+## Redis evidence without credential leakage
+
+`probe_redis_authority.py` is explicit opt-in and receives only the **name** of the
+environment variable that contains a Redis URL:
+
+```bash
+python security/probe_redis_authority.py \
+  --plane share \
+  --url-env SHARE_STORE_REDIS_URL \
+  --output redis-share-observation.json
+```
+
+It never accepts the URL as a CLI argument and never emits hostname, port, username,
+credentials, keys, values, replication offsets, or persistence timestamps. It uses
+`PING`, `ACL WHOAMI` where permitted, and bounded `INFO persistence` / `INFO replication`
+observations. These observations do **not** paper-prove least privilege, provider
+persistence guarantees, backup retention, or successful restores; those remain
+operator/provider evidence.
+
+For Share and Contribution lifecycle authority, production evidence additionally
+requires persistence, replication, and a successful backup/restore exercise no older
+than 90 days. Rate limiting needs TLS and non-default least-privilege identity but is
+not falsely classified as durable user-data storage.
+
+## Infrastructure logging / telemetry rule
+
+Production promotion fails unless operators attest that request bodies,
+Authorization headers, management-capability headers, query strings, WAF body
+capture, APM body capture, and third-party telemetry export are all disabled for the
+assistant service. This is independent of browser feedback consent: infrastructure
+logging must never become a hidden telemetry bypass.
+
+## What B39 still cannot prove locally
+
+The verifier validates **binding and policy**, not the truth of external scanner or
+provider claims. The release system must itself be trusted, scanners must run against
+the final artifact, and signature/provenance verification must be performed by the
+approved CI/registry trust root. Keep the raw external evidence according to your
+security retention policy; do not embed it in the application image.
+## Schema-v1 fail-closed parsing
+
+The production verifier treats the evidence document as a security protocol, not
+as an extensible metadata bag. Unknown root or nested schema-v1 fields are
+rejected. The manifest itself is capped at 256 KiB, referenced evidence files
+are separately bounded, and every required evidence artifact declares a
+non-empty bounded tool name/version. The release `proxyVersion` must equal the
+actual runtime source constant.
+
+Full-image CycloneDX evidence must be version 1.6 or newer. The resolved
+platform manifest digest must be distinct from the pinned multi-platform index
+digest; copying the index digest into the resolved-manifest field is rejected.
+Runtime source binding includes every regular file copied from `_utils/`, not
+only Python files, so future runtime policy/data files cannot silently escape
+the source subject.

+# Supply-chain, deployment, and evidence release gates
+
+Run 19 / B38 makes the source-controlled deployment path reproducible and
+fail-closed. Run 20 / B39 adds short-lived, content-addressed production
+evidence binding so stale or unrelated scanner/attestation files cannot be
+substituted for the current source and final image. It does **not** claim that a pinned image or lock file is free of
+future vulnerabilities. Release evidence must be renewed whenever the image,
+lock, deployment platform, or advisory database changes.
+
+## Source-controlled gates
+
+1. **Immutable base** — `Dockerfile` uses an exact Python tag plus immutable
+   OCI index digest. CI resolves the requested `linux/amd64` manifest from that
+   index and records the manifest digest used for the release.
+2. **Hash-locked Python closure** — production installs `requirements.lock`
+   with both `--require-hashes` and `--only-binary=:all:`. Source builds and
+   resolver drift are not accepted in the release path.
+3. **Minimal framework extras** — FastAPI and Uvicorn are installed without
+   their broad optional/`standard` extras. Every transitive runtime package is
+   named explicitly by the lock.
+4. **Runtime without install tooling** — dependencies are built in an isolated
+   venv in a builder stage. Runtime `pip`, `setuptools`, and `wheel` payloads
+   from the base image are removed and the finished venv is copied in.
+5. **Non-root strict profile** — runtime UID/GID is `1000:1000`, matching the
+   Hugging Face Docker Spaces convention. `DEPLOYMENT_PROFILE=strict` also
+   verifies non-root execution in application startup.
+6. **Deny-by-default build context** — `.dockerignore` allows only the service
+   runtime unit into the Docker build context, reducing accidental secret,
+   cache, repository-history, test-fixture, and unrelated-artifact inclusion.
+7. **Read-only/rootless reference** — the hardened Compose reference drops all
+   Linux capabilities, enables `no-new-privileges`, uses a read-only root
+   filesystem, and confines expected temporary writes to `/tmp`.
+8. **Redis transport authority** — strict deployments require `rediss://` for
+   every Redis-backed control plane. URL query parameters cannot downgrade TLS;
+   certificate and hostname verification are forced by code.
+9. **Python SBOM** — `python-runtime.cdx.json` describes the exact locked Python
+   closure. It is not a complete image SBOM because it intentionally excludes
+   OS/base-image packages.
+
+## Networked CI/release evidence — mandatory before production promotion
+
+Run these in a networked, current advisory environment. Tool names are examples;
+organizations may use equivalent scanners, but **do not turn scanner failure
+into a warning-only step**.
+
+```bash
+# Offline structure/ratchet verifier committed with the source.
+python security/verify_supply_chain.py
+
+# Dependency advisory gate. Generate/install in an isolated environment from
+# the exact lock first; fail on known vulnerabilities with no approved policy.
+pip-audit --strict --require-hashes -r requirements.lock
+
+# Build for the locked target architecture and identify the immutable result.
+docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t scikitplots-ai-proxy:b38 .
+docker image inspect scikitplots-ai-proxy:b38 --format '{{.Id}}'
+
+# Full image SBOM (includes OS packages) and vulnerability gate.
+syft scikitplots-ai-proxy:b38 -o cyclonedx-json > image.cdx.json
+trivy image --exit-code 1 --severity HIGH,CRITICAL scikitplots-ai-proxy:b38
+
+# Prefer signed provenance/SBOM attestations in the target registry (for
+# example, BuildKit provenance plus organization-approved signing tooling).
+```
+
+Scanner output is time-sensitive evidence. Never copy an old “0 CVEs” result
+forward to a new release. If a base-image CVE has no upstream fix yet, document
+its reachability, compensating controls, owner, expiration date, and explicit
+risk acceptance rather than silently suppressing it.
+
+## Dependency update protocol
+
+Update direct requirements, regenerate the complete wheel lock for the exact
+platform, regenerate the Python SBOM, run `verify_supply_chain.py`, review fresh
+advisories, run the complete proxy regression suite, build/scan the container,
+and only then update the maintenance checkpoint. A dependency bump is a security
+change even when application source is unchanged.
+
+## Current B38 advisory ratchets
+
+The B38 review found that the previous environment's Click 8.1.8 and Starlette
+0.50.0 are below current security fixes. The lock therefore ratchets Click to
+8.3.3 and Starlette to the reviewed 1.6.0 release;
+`supply_chain_policy.toml` prevents an accidental rollback below those reviewed
+floors. Fresh scanning remains mandatory because
+new advisories can appear after this checkpoint.
+
+
+## B39 machine-verifiable production evidence
+
+Before collecting external evidence, obtain the canonical non-secret subjects:
+
+```bash
+python security/release_subjects.py
+```
+
+The output contains only proxy version, target platform, exact lock/SBOM/runtime
+source digests, and the immutable base-image index digest. It contains no URLs,
+credentials, user data, deployment hostnames, or Redis identity.
+
+Store the fresh dependency scan, image scan, full-image CycloneDX SBOM, SLSA
+provenance, and signature-verification output beside `release-evidence.json`.
+Each referenced file is bound by relative path + SHA-256 + explicit subject.
+The production manifest also records the resolved base-image manifest digest,
+final OCI image digest, sanitized Redis operational evidence, and infrastructure
+logging/telemetry posture.
+
+The standard hardened B39 policy accepts no risk-exception entry in the promotion
+manifest. A release that needs an exception must change/review the policy rather
+than smuggling a waiver into evidence. Manifests expire within 72 hours.
+
+```bash
+# Source-only structural gate.
+python security/verify_supply_chain.py
+
+# One production promotion gate: source policy + bound fresh evidence.
+python security/verify_release_gate.py /secure/release/release-evidence.json
+```
