A fork for Hungary would have looked Swedish. Only party colours were configurable —
the warm paper, the institutional blue and the Garamond serif were hardcoded, and that
palette was drawn from riksdagen.se deliberately. Nothing said so anywhere. A `theme:`
block now sets those as CSS custom properties at runtime, the same mechanism party
colours already used, so no stylesheet needs editing. README and PORTING.md both say
plainly that the default is not neutral.
scripts/doctor.py reports what a machine can and cannot do: Python and dependencies,
PostgreSQL with its extensions and text-search setting, schema and row counts, the chat
endpoint, whether that model can actually call tools, the embedding dimension against
the configured one, GPU, sudo, and which ports are free. It changes nothing and exits
non-zero on failures so a script can gate on it. Tool calling is checked separately
because a model can converse perfectly and still never call a tool, which here means
confident answers with no sources.
docs/ASSISTANT-SETUP.md is a prompt plus the interview an assistant should run: ask the
doctor before asking the user, one section at a time, always recommend a default, never
invent a parliament's colours or data URL, and verify each stage with real output
rather than an exit code.
Verified against the live deployment: 26 checks OK, no failures.
talks -> speeches ("talks" reads as conference talks to everyone outside this
project), motions -> documents with a new doc_type column so bills, written
questions and committee reports can share the table later, and 79 columns from
anforandetext -> text, intressent_id -> person_id, valkrets -> constituency,
lydelse -> text, and so on.
_postgres/rename_map.py is the single source of truth. The migration, its rollback,
and the code rewrite are all derived from it, so they cannot drift apart. Hand-
writing a rollback is how you end up with one that fails halfway through.
Two identifiers could not be renamed mechanically and were done by reading the
queries: dok_id means the protocol document in talks but the primary key in
motions, and year stays a calendar year in speeches while becoming session_year in
documents. The latter is aliased in SQL so the JSON field stays `year` and the
frontend contract is unchanged.
Values are never translated. Bifall and Avslag stay as published; parliament.yaml
glosses them. A research tool must not silently rewrite the record.
The migration is guarded by an existence check, so the same file is a no-op on a
fresh database and does the work on an existing one — one schema definition in the
world. ALTER TABLE ... RENAME is catalog-only, so the millions of HNSW-indexed
vectors are untouched.
The trigger functions are recreated explicitly, because plpgsql bodies are stored
as opaque text and do not follow renames: they would have compiled fine and then
failed at the next INSERT. They now read the text-search config from a database
setting rather than hardcoding 'swedish'.
Verified: migration round-trips to a byte-identical schema across columns, indexes
and triggers; re-running is a no-op; triggers repopulate search_vector with working
Swedish stemming on INSERT and UPDATE; and the renamed code runs real searches
against a migrated database holding 5,000 rows of production data, with plain,
prefix and exclusion syntax all working. Frontend type errors went from 9 to 7 —
the rename fixed two and introduced none.
Not yet done, and tracked: legacy compatibility views, the shim for SQL replayed
from saved snapshots, tool-name aliases, and updating docs to the new names.

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.
