Sixteen system prompts lived as module-level string constants across chat.py,
board.py, synthesis.py, trip.py and llm_tools.py. They are the main thing a fork
for another parliament has to rewrite, and editing them meant editing Python.
They now live under prompts/sv/ as Markdown. Placeholders use string.Template
($name), not str.format: three of these prompts embed literal JSON braces that
str.format raises on, and safe_substitute leaves an unknown placeholder alone
rather than killing a live chat turn over a typo.
Technical configuration that had leaked into the prompt text is now templated:
websearch_to_tsquery('swedish', ...) became '$fts_config', "Answer in Swedish"
became "Answer in $answer_language", and the åäö preservation rule became
$preserve_characters. Domain vocabulary from parliament.yaml is available too, so a
prompt can say $speech_plural and read naturally in any language.
PROMPTS_RELOAD=1 re-reads the files per call, so prompt iteration no longer needs
a server restart.
The prompts themselves stay Swedish. That is the intended design: a fork writes
prompts/<lang>/ in its own language, and the loader falls back through
<lang>/ -> shared -> en/.
Verified by snapshotting all sixteen constants before the move and asserting
equality after: 16/16 render byte-identically, including after parameterization —
which is what proves the templating substitutes exactly what was there before.
tests/test_prompts_golden.py keeps that guarantee going forward.

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.

_llm called env_manager.set_env() at import time, which connected to a private
ArangoDB to fetch secrets. That single line meant a fresh clone could not start,
regardless of what else was configured. Both packages also lived in separate
private repos and were gitignored here, so the code shipped without them.
packages/llm/ is 780 lines against _llm's 1750. Dropped as unused by this project
(measured, zero call sites): token counting and message trimming, image/vision
handling, make_summary, the ollama-specific paths, the query/user_input/context
argument style, and the self-mutating provider_quirks.json cache.
Kept and reworked:
- tools.py, the docstring -> JSON-schema tool registry, which has no equivalent
in the cuj-fup client and which llm_tools.py depends on entirely.
- The provider quirks that actually matter: vLLM-only extra_body fields stripped
for hosted providers, enable_thinking disabled at template level when think is
off, reasoning models (o1/o3/o4/gpt-5) switched to max_completion_tokens.
Adopted from cuj-fup's client: LLMConfig as a dataclass instead of 20 constructor
kwargs, the SDK's native max_retries instead of hand-rolled backoff, and error
messages that name the likely cause.
Fixes a latent bug: Optional[list[str]] parameters were advertised to the model as
strings, because get_origin(Optional[X]) is Union, so neither the schema mapping
nor the list coercion in execute_tool fired. `parties`, `people` and `focus_ids`
were all affected.
Also drops a dead SELECT-only guard in execute_tool that keyed on a parameter name
(`sql_query`) that no tool has ever used. Real SQL hardening is tracked separately.
Verified: `import backend.app` succeeds with all external network blocked and zero
outbound connection attempts; all 12 tools register; live vLLM calls confirmed for
plain generation, structured output via format=, tool execution, and the
error-returns-a-string contract that call sites branch on.

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.
