The tenant_id rule was wrong in a way that would have shipped: the plan
said reject when strip() is empty, but the design says reject leading and
trailing whitespace outright. " t1" survives the weaker rule and then
compares unequal to "t1" inside an RLS policy, so a caller who pads the
value silently loses rows.
Adds the test that guards a promise nothing else was guarding -- same
messages and namespace with different meta must still hit the cache.
Without it, folding meta into the key passes every other assertion and
costs a full cache cold start plus a permanently lower hit rate, which
degrades quietly instead of failing.
Also pins _record's new parameter positions, splits the backfill-failure
setup per backend (ownership check on PG, read-only file on SQLite, and
says what SQLite cannot assert), puts the red-green gate on the
integration task, and names the two wiki pages.
Eight tasks against the approved design, ordered so the port and both
telemetry backends land before the three call paths that feed them.
Writing the plan turned up a third telemetry path the design missed:
OcrClient emits through the same helper and builds its ChatRequest on
the spot, just as embedding does. OCR rows share the table with chat
rows, so leaving them out would put a hole in a multi-tenant caller's
audit trail, and the same irreversibility argument applies. Listed as
Task 6 and flagged as beyond the approved scope -- it may be dropped,
but only by stating the limitation in the CHANGELOG, not silently.
The integration task pins the issue's own argument as a test: build a
22-column table, open it with the current recorder, and assert the old
rows read back as the empty string rather than NULL -- NULL under an
RLS policy is invisible to everyone, not merely unassigned.
