Site copy now resolves through CONTENT_DIR, alongside PARLIAMENT_CONFIG and
PROMPTS_DIR. All three let a deployment keep its own wording, branding and contact
details outside the repository, so they never appear in a diff against upstream —
which is what keeps a production fork mergeable.
parliament.yaml's site.title was "rixdagen.se". That is the deployment's identity,
not Sweden's data, so upstream now ships a neutral default. The Swedish user guide
keeps its content but loses the personal contact details and site-specific wording;
a deployment ships its own guide by pointing CONTENT_DIR at it.
Fixes /api/guide, which still read ../user-guide.md after that file moved to
content/sv/ and had been returning 404.
Deliberately kept: the author metadata in pyproject.toml and the copyright line in
LICENSE, which are attribution rather than configuration, and the README's note that
this runs in production as rixdagen.se, which is provenance worth stating.

database_query passed model-written SQL straight to a connection that commits. The
corpus reaches the model's context, and in a parliament anyone able to speak can get
text into the corpus, so that SQL has to be treated as untrusted input.
Two layers now apply. Statements must begin with SELECT or WITH, and multi-statement
payloads are rejected — that is how a write gets smuggled in behind a leading SELECT.
Then the query runs inside SET TRANSACTION READ ONLY, so PostgreSQL rejects writes
itself even if the first check is wrong. Verified both independently: five attack
shapes refused by the guard, and INSERT/DROP still refused when the guard is bypassed
entirely and the database layer is called directly.
share_insight gets the same treatment. It re-executes SQL stored in saved
conversations, which is no more trustworthy than freshly generated SQL.
Neither layer replaces running against a SELECT-only role, and SECURITY.md still says
so — it now describes what the application does rather than what it fails to do.
Tool rename completed as a clean break, no aliases, since there are three users and
six sessions to preserve: arango_search -> search_speeches (it has queried Postgres
since the Arango migration and the name was pure debt), search_motions ->
search_documents, fetch_motion -> fetch_document.
Also renamed fetch_documents -> fetch_speeches. It fetches speeches despite the name,
and sitting next to the new fetch_document it was a trap the model would fall into.
Note for anyone with an MCP client configured against the old names: riksdagen_mcp
exposes these, so the names it advertises have changed.

Everything that made this Sweden-only in code now lives in one configuration file:
party list and colours, chamber activity types, the Postgres text-search
dictionary, the party-code pattern used to verify attributions, identifier shapes,
source URLs, the person-photo URL template, embedding model and dimension, and the
site copy.
info.py is deleted. Its party_colors_lighten table is gone too — the tint is now
computed from the party colour, so there is no second palette to keep in sync. Its
dead select_columns and css strings go with it.
The stylesheet no longer carries per-party rules. It had --party-M through
--party-NYD plus twenty [data-party="..."] selectors, which no amount of
configuration could adapt: CSS cannot read a dict. App.tsx now publishes the
configured palette as custom properties from /api/meta, and one color-mix rule
covers every party in any country.
The author's email and Twitter handle are out of the source entirely. Explainer
copy moved to content/sv/*.md, and contact details come from `site.contact`, which
upstream ships empty for a deployment to fill in via its own PARLIAMENT_CONFIG.
Two startup assertions added, both for failures that are otherwise silent: a
text-search config mismatch returns near-zero rows with no error, and a vector
column that disagrees with embeddings.dimension fails deep inside pgvector with a
message that never mentions configuration.
Verified: five searches spanning phrase, exclusion and prefix syntax — exercising
all three tsquery builders that changed — return byte-identical payloads against
production, with differing hit counts and first hits proving the queries really
differ. Frontend builds, and tsc reports the same 9 pre-existing errors as before,
none new.

Seeded via an explicit allow-list (see /home/lasse/plenum-seed.sh) rather than by
deleting files from a copy, so nothing sensitive can survive by omission.
Excluded: WireGuard backup + client config, the plaintext DB password in admin.py,
Arango credentials in scripts/notes.md, .claude/settings.json, a 113 MB log,
providers.yaml (private endpoint), the Arango/ChromaDB-era scripts, the duplicated
claude-design-system frontend copy, and assorted screenshots and one-off planning docs.
297 tracked files / 49 MB of history -> 161 files / 2.1 MB.
Recovered 14 database migrations that the old .gitignore's `*.sql` rule had been
hiding from version control.
