A stored transcript is replayed into a later prompt when reopened, so a key typed while
changing a setting would be handed back to the model on every subsequent turn.
The index already stored chunk origin and search.js already filtered on it;
only the wrapper refused the flag. Intent routing boosts PURPOSE for "what

definition of itself.
ai_index.sh and ai_query.sh follow the usual conventions — fail-closed gate,
root check, lock, dry-run, status — with Node doing only the vector maths and
SQLite blobs, the same split api_cache_writer.sh uses for PHP.
AI_* and HOST*_OLLAMA_* land in both confs and both templates in this pass.
Everything ships off: AI_ENABLED false, every AI_ASSIST_* false, conf writes
disabled with an empty whitelist. Nothing in the ecosystem consults it.
