Add PostgreSQL-backed memory, editable evidence with source review and activation, and human-approved archive repairs across the harness, API, and UI. Include migrations, deployment support, regression coverage, and validation documentation.
Refresh permissions from validated session roles so existing administrator logins can access newly deployed archive management features.
New session now refuses to spawn a Pi runtime that would only die in bootstrap
retrieval when the DWH/vector host is unreachable (e.g. a dropped VPN). Before
`session new`, POST /sessions probes the DWH via `tht db ping`; if it is down it
returns 503 {code:"dwh_unreachable"} with a clear message and creates nothing.
- Gated behind the THT_DWH_PRECHECK flag (default off), enabled only by the local
dev launcher (run-stack.sh) — containers/CI never pay the probe, and existing
tests that don't set it are unaffected.
- ThtRunner.dbPing() runs `tht db ping` with a 10s timeout (run() gains an optional
timeout that SIGKILLs a hung child).
- Frontend: apiFetch throws a typed ApiError (status + parsed payload); the new-
session composer shows the specific alert on `dwh_unreachable` instead of the
generic retry hint, keeping the question for retry.
Verified live on an isolated backend (precheck on + broken DWH host → 503
dwh_unreachable, no session created) and via unit tests (backend 228, frontend 308).
