Jaroslav Beneš 35b9d8c8d2 Knowledge bases, and a file input that lines up
**Bases.** Documents now live in named collections rather than one flat pile,
and a chat can be pointed at particular ones — "answer from the contracts
folder" is a different question from "answer from everything I have ever
uploaded". A chat with none attached still searches everything its owner can
see, because empty means unscoped, not empty.

The harness names the attached bases. Without that the model cannot tell "there
is nothing about this" from "I am only allowed to see one folder", and it
phrases a miss as the former.

**Sharing moves to the base.** A document is visible to whoever can see the base
it lives in, so `Document` is gone from the shareable types and
`documents.visible()` filters through `base_id`. "This folder is the team's" is
the granularity people think in; per-document grants meant answering "who can
see this?" by checking every file. Moving a document between bases changes who
can see it, so the destination has to be one you own.

`Document.base_id` is nullable only because the column had to be added to a
table that already had rows. `sweep_unfiled()` runs at startup beside the
orphaned-upload sweep and files anything predating bases into its owner's
default, which is what makes "always set" true everywhere else.

**The file input.** `.input` gave it a fixed height and horizontal padding, so
the browser's own button sat hard against the left edge while the filename
floated off the centre line. A file input is two controls in one box and
neither inherits anything useful, so it gets its own rule: no horizontal
padding, the button sized to `--control-h` with the divider that separates it,
and the text centred with line-height rather than flexbox, which file inputs do
not lay out reliably.

Jaroslav Beneš 1eba860d39 Knowledge, notes, memory and skills, and a harness to make them used
Four places a model can reach for, differing in who writes a record and how it
gets in front of the model.

**Knowledge** is uploaded by a person and searched by the model. It goes through
`services/files.py:prepare` — the same pipeline as a chat attachment — so the
same PDF produces the same text whichever way it arrived, and `Document` carries
the same content columns as `Attachment` for the same reason.

**Notes** are written by the model and edited by you. Too long to inject, so
they are searched.

**Memory** is short facts, and every one of them goes into every request. That
single decision is where the rest of its design comes from: records are capped
short, the block has a budget, there is no search tool because the model is
already looking at them, and they are not shareable — a record about a person is
not content to hand round.

**Skills** are saved procedures. Only the name and description are injected; the
body is fetched when the model decides one applies, which is what makes a
hundred skills affordable. A model may write and revise its own — the safety
story is not a gate but a record: every revision is kept, attributed and
revertible. A model that has just read a hostile page can save a skill that
outlives the conversation, and the honest mitigation is that it is visible and
undoable rather than that it was prevented.

**The harness** is why any of it gets used. A model handed a tools array
ignores it and answers from recall, because nothing in the request suggests
otherwise. `services/harness.py` assembles a preamble from what this chat
actually has: when to reach for each tool, the memories, the skill index.

This is an exception to "system prompts are precedence, not concatenation", and
a deliberate one. That rule governs the three *authored* layers and is
untouched — exactly one still wins. The harness is a different axis: it
describes the machinery rather than the behaviour, nobody authored it, and there
is nothing for it to disagree with. It is prepended to whichever authored prompt
won, in one system message, since several endpoints reject a second.

Supporting changes:

- **Sharing**, in one helper. `visible_to()` is the only definition of who can
  see a library item and every listing and tool goes through it. Sharing grants
  *reading*; two people editing one note with no history and no merge is worse
  than copying it. **Administrators do not bypass this** — they bypass
  permissions elsewhere because an admin can grant themselves those anyway, but
  reading somebody's private notes is a different act.
- **FTS5**, created by `db/migrations.py:ensure_fts` with the triggers an
  external-content index needs. Idempotent, like the column sync beside it.
  Terms are ANDed and then ORed: the caller is usually a model writing a whole
  question, and requiring every word loses the match on one absent term.
- **The attach button is a menu** — file, image, a web page, or a document from
  the library. Attaching a document copies it, because history must not change
  when a document is edited later.
- **A URL fetcher with an SSRF guard.** This server can reach the router, the
  other services on the box and LLeMbas itself, and the address can come from a
  model. Private ranges are refused *after resolution* and redirects are followed
  by hand so every hop is checked. An admin can open it deliberately.
- **Model capabilities split** into protocol support and a toggle per built-in
  tool. Rows predating the split have no `tool_*` keys, and absent counts as on
  when `tools` is on — otherwise an upgrade silently takes web search away from
  every model already configured for it.

Also fixes the test fixture, which built the schema with `create_all` and so ran
against a database without the FTS tables production has; it now runs
`sync_schema`, the same path startup takes.

430 tests, ruff clean.
