 ## Run 25 / B44 provider response boundaries
 
 Storage-provider control traffic is a small metadata plane, not a bulk-download plane. Its response ceiling defaults to **4 MiB** and is hard-clamped to **16 MiB**. GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket mutations that need no response body do not consume one; metadata reads are stream-bounded before JSON parsing. Hugging Face Hub control calls run with a scoped bounded lower-level HTTP client and restore the prior SDK client factory immediately afterward. Intentional large offline dataset/model downloads remain separately scoped (`SEC-P2-49`).
+
+
+## Provider-native review workflow
+
+For human-maintained datasets, prefer `CONTRIBUTION_REVIEW_MODE=provider-pr`. The proxy opens the provider's normal code-review object against the configured canonical branch instead of writing submitted content directly to that branch. This works with Hugging Face Pull Requests, GitHub Pull Requests, GitLab Merge Requests, and Bitbucket Cloud Pull Requests. Merge = eligible; close/decline = reject. Keep the dataset repository private when submissions may contain non-public material, and keep provider tokens server-side only.
+
+The Primary target is the review authority. Mirrors remain ordinary replication targets; do not treat a mirror branch as an independent eligibility decision domain. In `provider-pr` mode, a maintainer merge changes the Primary canonical branch only; current code does not synchronously fan that external merge out to Mirrors. If immediate mirror convergence is required, use one Primary during review or run an explicit post-merge reconciliation/replication job. Mirrors never decide eligibility.

 ### Provider control-response boundary (Run 25 / B44)
 
 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 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.
+
+| Primary provider | Quarantine/review surface | Accept | Reject |
+|---|---|---|---|

+| GitHub | Temporary branch + Pull Request | Merge PR | Close PR |
+| GitLab | Temporary branch + Merge Request | Merge MR | Close MR |
+| Bitbucket Cloud | Temporary branch + Pull Request | Merge PR | Decline PR |
+
+The configured target `branch` (normally `main`) is the only eligible branch. Participant deletion while review is open closes the provider review first and then clears the active local receipt copy. If a maintainer merged through the provider UI before the participant checks status or withdraws, the proxy detects the merged review and monotonically ratchets the receipt to `eligible`; withdrawal then follows the existing post-promotion removal/tombstone workflow.

+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
+metadata remain.
+
+Two backends are bundled:
+
+``memory``
+    Compatibility/development backend. Process-local and intentionally not
+    durable.
+
+``sqlite``
+    Local transactional durable backend using the Python standard library.
+    It survives process restarts when its file lives on durable storage and
+    prevents duplicate promotion with transactional state transitions. It is
+    **not** a shared multi-replica database; operators must not represent it as
+    one.

+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 always ``telemetry``.
+* ``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.

+

+    ----------
+    rating_value : int or None
+        Numeric rating score.  Quick feedback uses -1/+1; panel uses -5..+5.
+    rating_label : str or None
+        Raw ``ratingLabel`` from the client payload.  This may be:
+
+        * A snake_case slug (``"mostly_positive"``): panel feedback and all
+          records written after the JS-side fix.
+        * A Title Case string (``"Not helpful"``): old quick-feedback records
+          written before the JS-side fix.
+        * A sentiment string (``"positive"``/``"negative"``): transitional.
+
+    rating_mode : str or None, optional
+        ``"quick"`` or ``"panel"`` when the JS widget sends the new

+        ``rating_label`` when absent.
+    rating_title : str or None, optional
+        Human display string when the JS widget sends the new ``ratingTitle``
+        field.  Derived from ``ratingSlug`` when absent.
+    feedback_id : str or None, optional
+        The per-submission ``feedbackId`` / ``sessionId``; used to autodetect
+        quick-feedback records by the ``-quick-`` pattern in older JS versions.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    dict
+        Keys: ``ratingSlug``, ``ratingTitle``, ``ratingMode``.
+        All values are ``str`` or ``None``.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    Developer note — Detection order:
+
+    1. If ``rating_mode`` is already provided: use it directly.
+    2. If ``feedback_id`` matches ``_QUICK_SESSION_RE``: quick mode.
+    3. If ``rating_label`` is a known Title Case string: quick mode (old record).
+    4. If ``rating_label`` is snake_case slug: panel mode.
+    5. If ``rating_value`` is -1 or +1 and ``rating_label`` is absent: quick mode.
+    6. Otherwise: panel mode (safe default).

+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.

+# Only the Python standard library is imported here.  httpx, fastapi, and

+# (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).

+Shared utilities for the sphinx-ai-assistant proxy solutions.
+
+This module provides pure, stateless helper functions and typed constants
+that are common to all server-side proxy implementations.  It has **no**
+runtime dependencies beyond the Python standard library.
+
+Public API:
+
+PROXY_VERSION : str
+    Proxy release version string.
+DEFAULT_HF_BASE : str
+    HuggingFace Serverless Inference API base URL.
+DEFAULT_MODEL : str
+    Fallback model ID when the request body omits ``model``.
+DEFAULT_PROXY_TIMEOUT : int
+    Global upstream read timeout in seconds (Path 1 / backward-compat).
+DEFAULT_PATH2_READ_TIMEOUT : float
+    Per-path read timeout for Path 2 (ai-model space, CPU inference).
+DEFAULT_PATH3_READ_TIMEOUT : float
+    Per-path read timeout for Path 3 (HF Serverless Inference API).
+DEFAULT_MAX_BODY_BYTES : int
+    Maximum accepted request body size.
+DEFAULT_HF_SPACES_MODEL_URL : str
+    Default URL for the custom ai-model HF Space (Path 2).
+DEFAULT_HF_SPACES_MODEL_NAMESPACES : tuple[str, ...]
+    Default model owner namespaces routed to the model Space (Path 2).
+_safe_int : callable
+    Parse an integer environment variable with a safe fallback.
+_parse_model : callable
+    Extract the ``model`` field from a raw JSON request body.
+_is_custom_model_namespace : callable
+    Return True when a model's owner namespace is in the custom list.
+_build_cors_headers : callable
+    Return the CORS response-header mapping.
+_token_log_fragment : callable
+    Produce a safely-truncated token string for log output.
+_resolve_upstream_url : callable
+    Centralised three-path routing: choose upstream URL, auth headers,
+    and per-path read timeout.
+_validate_env : callable
+    Fail-fast startup check with actionable error messages.
+load_proxy_env : callable
+    Read all proxy-relevant environment variables into a typed dict.
+
+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

+#
+#   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):

+# 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).

+      ``"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

+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    **Security note** — This is the canonical privacy gate for all IP values
+    written to log records in ``app.py``.  Every ``json.dumps({..., "ip": …})``
+    call must pass ``client_ip`` through :func:`_mask_ip` before serialising.

+    confirmed viable before type checks are run.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    hf_token : str
+        HuggingFace token used for inference (``HF_TOKEN`` env var).
+    hf_write_token : str
+        HuggingFace token used for dataset persistence. New deployments pass the
+        effective ``HF_DATASET_TOKEN``; legacy callers may still pass
+        ``HF_WRITE_TOKEN``. Pass empty string when not configured.
+    training_dataset_repo : str, optional
+        HuggingFace Dataset repo ID (``TRAINING_DATASET_REPO`` env var).
+        Pass empty string when ``/v1/contribute`` is not enabled.
+    hf_token_type : str, optional
+        Classified type for *hf_token* (from :func:`_classify_token_type`).
+        Defaults to ``"unknown"``.
+    hf_write_token_type : str, optional
+        Classified type for *hf_write_token*.  Defaults to ``"unknown"``.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    list[str]
+        Zero or more diagnostic strings.  Each message is prefixed with
+        ``"WARNING:"`` or ``"ERROR:"`` so callers can log at the correct
+        level.  An empty list means the configuration passes all checks.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    **Security note** — ``"write"`` token used for inference is a WARNING
+    (not an error) because it functions correctly at runtime.  The warning
+    exists to prompt the operator to apply least-privilege.
+
+    **Security note** — ``"read"`` token used for writes is a hard ERROR:
+    the token WILL fail on every ``HfApi.create_commit`` call.  The proxy
+    can still start (useful for operators who only need inference), but
+    ``/v1/contribute`` will be permanently non-functional until the token is
+    replaced.
+

+    1. *backend_url* is non-empty → **Path 1**: explicit custom backend.
+       Forward to *backend_url* (Docker Model Runner, Ollama, any backend).
+       *backend_auth_token* is injected only when explicitly configured.

+       Forward to *hf_spaces_model_url* (the ``scikit-plots/ai-model`` Space).
+       CPU inference on a 7B model takes 4-5 minutes; *path2_read_timeout*

+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    body : bytes
+        Raw JSON request body.  Used to extract the ``model`` field for
+        Paths 2 and 3.
+    backend_url : str
+        Value of the ``BACKEND_URL`` environment variable.  Non-empty string
+        triggers Path 1; empty string means "proceed to Path 2 / 3".
+    hf_token : str
+        HuggingFace inference token.  Used only for Path 3.
+    backend_auth_token : str, optional
+        Dedicated bearer capability bound to Path 1 ``backend_url``.
+    hf_spaces_auth_token : str, optional
+        Dedicated bearer capability bound to Path 2 ``hf_spaces_model_url``.
+    hf_base : str, optional

+    default_model : str, optional
+        Fallback model ID when the body omits the ``model`` field.
+    hf_spaces_model_url : str, optional
+        URL of the custom ai-model HF Space (Path 2 target).
+    hf_spaces_model_namespaces : tuple[str, ...] or list[str], optional
+        Model owner namespaces routed to *hf_spaces_model_url*.
+    proxy_timeout : float, optional
+        Read timeout (seconds) for Path 1.  Default: 600 s.
+    path2_read_timeout : float, optional
+        Read timeout (seconds) for Path 2 (ai-model Space).  Default: 600 s.
+    path3_read_timeout : float, optional
+        Read timeout (seconds) for Path 3 (HF Serverless API).  Default: 120 s.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    url : str
+        Fully-qualified upstream endpoint URL.
+    headers : dict[str, str]
+        HTTP headers for the upstream POST request.
+    read_timeout_s : float
+        Per-path read timeout in seconds.  Pass to ``httpx.Timeout(read=...)``.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    **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``,

+"""
+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

+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.

+    list[dict]
+        One record per unique _dedup_key.  Records that have no
+        _dedup_key (legacy, pre-v1.0 records) are retained unchanged.
+        Retraction tombstones are excluded from the output.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    Priority rule
+        For the same _dedup_key, the record with the lowest
+        _SOURCE_PRIORITY value is kept.  Ties (same source) are broken by
+        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
+        FK).  The winning contribution record therefore carries the complete
+        provenance chain without any additional join.

+# 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
+```
+
+`verify_release_gate.py` fails closed on stale/expired evidence, source or artifact
+hash drift, path traversal/symlink substitution, mismatched artifact subjects,
+provenance that does not name the final image or resolved base manifest, missing
+signature-verification evidence, hidden infrastructure body/credential logging,
+unverified Share/Contribution persistence/replication, stale backup/restore
+exercises, or third-party telemetry export.
+
+See `RELEASE_EVIDENCE_GUIDE.md` and `release-evidence.example.json`. The example
+is intentionally non-authoritative and cannot pass verification unchanged.
