+# Contributing to Cowork Local
+
+Cowork Local is owned by the Cowork Team. Contributions from the FSG AI Core Team are welcome for selected generic capabilities, but final review and merge remain with the Cowork Team.
+
+## Workflow
+
+```text
+Core AI Issue -> Pick task -> Branch on cowork-local -> Implement -> Tests
+-> Core AI pre-review -> Cowork Pull Request -> Cowork Team review -> Merge
+-> Core AI Issue Done
+```
+
+Core AI execution source of truth is the [fsg-ai-core-assets issue/project system](http://34.143.229.138/gitea-admin/fsg-ai-core-assets). Do not duplicate its complete backlog here.
+
+Board states for a Core AI contribution mean:
+
+- `Review`: Core AI internal/pre-review.
+- `Upstream Review`: the Cowork Pull Request is waiting for Cowork Team review.
+- `Done`: the Cowork Team merged the Pull Request into the stable branch.
+
+## Branches
+
+Use a short, focused branch name:
+
+```text
+feat/<short-description>
+fix/<short-description>
+test/<short-description>
+docs/<short-description>
+perf/<short-description>
+refactor/<short-description>
+```
+
+Core AI contributions use:
+
+```text
+core-ai/<task-id>-<short-name>
+```
+
+Examples: `core-ai/TL-065-co4e-if-switch`, `core-ai/TL-146-model-routing-tests`, and `core-ai/TL-148-superpowers-phase1`.
+
+## Commits
+
+Prefer the existing lightweight Conventional Commit prefixes: `feat:`, `fix:`, `test:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, `perf:`, and `chore:`. Scopes are optional, for example `test(routing): verify model fallback policy`.
+
+## Development and validation
+
+Run the application from the parent directory with `python -m cowork_local`. The current reliable test command is:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -r requirements-test.txt
+python -m pytest tests -q
+```
+
+Also run any focused checks relevant to the area you changed. Never use live provider credentials in automated tests.
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+One logical change equals one Pull Request. Do not combine unrelated task IDs into a mega PR; split large work into vertical, reviewable slices.
+
+Complete the Pull Request template, including scope, test evidence, compatibility, and security impact. A Core AI Pull Request must include the full Core repository URL, Core issue URL or number, and Core task ID. Use a full URL if cross-repository linking is unavailable.
+
+Normal Cowork changes follow the Cowork Team reviewer policy. Core AI contributions require both Core AI pre-review and Cowork Team final review. Critical areas listed in [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) receive additional scrutiny and are never auto-merged solely because tests pass.
+
+The detailed ownership, review, and completion rules are in `docs/governance/`.

+# Cowork Local
+
+Cowork Local is the internal AI cowork desktop platform owned by the Cowork Team. It provides the Cowork runtime, workspace and agent experiences, MCP/connectors, security controls, and model routing foundation.
+
+The Cowork Team owns this product and its stable branch. The FSG AI Core Team contributes selected reusable capabilities through branches and Pull Requests; it is not the owner or final merger of this repository.
+
+## Quick start
+
+The imported application is a Python/PySide6 package. Run it from the directory that contains `cowork_local`:
+
+```bash
+python -m cowork_local
+```
+
+The source snapshot does not include a complete runtime dependency manifest. Use the Cowork Team's supported runtime environment until that packaging contract is documented. The reliable automated test surface currently checked by CI is:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -r cowork_local/requirements-test.txt
+python -m pytest cowork_local/tests -q
+```
+
+When already inside this repository, run `python -m pytest tests -q`.
+
+Configuration and runtime data live under `~/.cowork_local/`. Provider keys and local unlock codes must be supplied through environment variables or an approved secret manager; see `.env.example`.
+
+## Contributing
+
+Start with [START_CONTRIBUTING.md](START_CONTRIBUTING.md), then read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md). Core AI task execution remains in [fsg-ai-core-assets](http://34.143.229.138/gitea-admin/fsg-ai-core-assets); source changes are reviewed as Pull Requests in this repository.
+
+Security concerns should follow [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md). Ownership and completion rules are documented under `docs/governance/`.

SECURITY.md

@@ -0,0 +1,15 @@
+# Security Policy
+
+Do not open a public issue containing credentials, customer data, exploit details, or production logs. Report sensitive findings privately to the Cowork Team repository maintainers through the organization's approved security channel.
+
+Before requesting review:
+
+- remove secrets, tokens, private keys, customer documents, PII, and local runtime data;
+- use environment variables or the approved secret manager for credentials;
+- document permission, credential, network, TLS, isolation, and data-handling impact;
+- add focused tests for security boundaries when practical;
+- rotate any credential that may have been exposed.
+
+Changes involving permissions, credentials, MCP write/exec, sandboxing, network access, TLS, customer/project isolation, security rules, model routing/fallback, or data deletion require additional Cowork Team scrutiny. Passing CI is not sufficient approval for a critical change.
+
+If a secret is found in Git history, stop distribution and notify the Cowork Team. Do not rewrite shared history or force-push without an explicit, coordinated remediation plan.

+# Start Contributing
+
+## What is this repository?
+
+Cowork Local is the Cowork Team's product/platform repository: desktop runtime, UI/UX, workspaces, agents, MCP/connectors, security, and reusable platform foundations.
+
+The Cowork Team owns architecture, product behavior, releases, the stable branch, final review, and merge. The FSG AI Core Team is a contributor for selected generic capabilities such as MCP integration, agent capabilities, orchestration/model-routing tests, evaluation/security integration, and reusable platform improvements.
+
+## Where are Core AI tasks?
+
+Use [fsg-ai-core-assets Issues/Project](http://34.143.229.138/gitea-admin/fsg-ai-core-assets) as the Core AI task source of truth. Pick and assign a contribution task there, then move it to `In Progress`.
+
+Do not copy the Core AI backlog, golden datasets, CASAN assets, agent catalog, or evaluation repository into Cowork Local. Only source/artifacts required by an agreed Cowork runtime contract belong here.
+
+## Make the change
+
+Create a focused branch:
+
+```bash
+git switch -c core-ai/TL-xxx-short-name
+```
+
+For Cowork-native work use `feat/`, `fix/`, `test/`, `docs/`, `perf/`, or `refactor/`. Keep one logical change in one Pull Request.
+
+Run the application from the parent directory with `python -m cowork_local`. Run the current automated test suite from this repository with:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -r requirements-test.txt
+python -m pytest tests -q
+```
+
+Use environment variables for credentials; never commit `.env`, `~/.cowork_local/`, logs, customer data, or generated runtime files.
+
+## Review and completion
+
+Before opening a Pull Request, obtain Core AI pre-review and move the Core task to `Review`. Open the Pull Request in Cowork Local with the Core repository URL, issue, task ID, scope, validation evidence, and security impact. Then move the Core task to `Upstream Review`.
+
+The Cowork Team may request changes or approve and merge. A Core AI task is `Done` only after the Cowork Pull Request is merged—not when implementation or Core AI review finishes. Record the Pull Request and merge reference in the Core issue.
+
+See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for conventions and `docs/governance/` for ownership, review, and Definition of Done.

+3. **Command validation** — an AI "control agent" that judges the actual

+
+    ``agent_role`` (see ``agent_roles.py``) tags every tool call this run
+    makes in the audit log — it defaults to the interactive Cowork tab's own
+    role, but Schedule Task overrides it to ``agent_roles.TASK`` for
+    ``cowork``-type tasks so they aren't misattributed to the Cowork tab.
+
+    ``gate`` (a ``PermissionGate``, Sandbox Security Layer — Permission
+    Management), when given, is asked to approve every ``run_command``/
+    ``install_package`` call before it executes — same mechanism
+    ``code_agent.run_code`` already uses. ``None`` (the default) preserves
+    the pre-existing behavior: Cowork auto-runs without asking.
+
+    ``save_file`` writes text directly; for documents/spreadsheets/decks the agent
+    writes and runs a generator script (file/command/install tools), keeping only
+    the final deliverable in the output folder (helper scripts live under
+    ``.scratch/`` which the UI hides and the agent deletes when done).
+
+    ``extra_tools``/``extra_executor`` plug in extra capabilities the same way
+    ``code_agent.run_code`` does (e.g. signed-in Microsoft 365 connectors) —
+    any tool call whose name is in ``extra_tools`` is routed to
+    ``extra_executor(name, args)`` instead of the built-in file/command tools.
+
+    ``security_config`` is the app's ``AppConfig`` — when its
+    ``agent_security`` layers are enabled, the request is checked (see
+    ``core.agent_security.enforce_prompt``) before the loop starts, and every
+    ``run_command``/``install_package`` call is checked again
+    (``enforce_command``) right before it executes. ``None`` (the default,
+    e.g. headless callers that don't pass one) disables both checks.
+
+    ``run_to_completion`` (used by Co4E flow steps) lifts the tool-use budget
+    from ``max_steps`` to ``completion_max_steps`` so a single step keeps
+    working through as many tool calls as its instruction needs and finishes
+    the task, instead of being cut off at 30 turns mid-work. The turn still
+    ends naturally the moment the model stops calling tools; the higher number
+    is only a runaway safety ceiling, and hitting it emits a visible note."""

+"""Co4E — node-graph workflow engine (ported from nova-platform's Flow feature).
+
+A Co4E *workflow* is a graph of step nodes joined by edges. Steps run in
+topological **waves** (all nodes at the same depth run together); a *parallel*
+node fans out into one stage per sub-agent plus an optional join stage the wave
+after. Each node names an agent persona (built-in or custom), optional attached
+skills, a model, a permission preset and instructions; at run time these compile
+into per-stage prompts fed to the agent, with each wave's outputs threaded into
+the next wave's prompts.
+
+This module is PURE PYTHON (no Qt) so the model, store, wave computation and
+stage compilation are all unit-testable. UI lives in ``ui/co4e_*`` and the
+runner that actually calls the provider lives in ``core/co4e_runner.py``.
+
+Persistence: one JSON file per workflow under ``~/.cowork_local/co4e/workflows``
+and one per custom agent under ``~/.cowork_local/co4e/agents``. Skills reuse the
+existing ``core/skills.py`` registry.

+"""Unified Connectors (MCP) — Settings → "Connectors (MCP)". Categories:
+CAD / CAE / MS365 / Other (Other = generic MCP servers, the merged-in old
+"MCP Servers" section).
+
+Real native automation for CAD/CAE software (NX Open, CATIA Automation API,
+ABAQUS/CAE scripting, ANSYS ACT, ...) requires each vendor's own licensed SDK
+installed on the machine — this app does not bundle, install, or emulate any
+of those. Instead an Admin points a connector at something that already
+exists in their environment:
+
+  - ``mode="mcp_stdio"`` — a real MCP server for that app (in-house or
+    third-party), reusing :class:`core.mcp_client.McpServerConnection`
+    verbatim (identical to the "MCP Servers" Settings section).
+  - ``mode="rest_api"`` — a REST API the app/vendor exposes. Since there is
+    no standard schema across NX/CATIA/ANSYS/etc., this exposes ONE generic
+    HTTP-request tool per connector, scoped to the connector's own
+    ``base_url`` + auth header — the model picks method/path/body, never the
+    base URL or credentials.
+
+Both modes funnel into the same ``(tools, executor)`` shape every other tool
+source in this app already uses (see ``core/tools.py::combine_tool_sources``
+and ``core/mcp_client.py::build_mcp_tools``).

+
+## Toggle Off / Auto / Manual (trên màn hình chat)
+
+Mỗi màn hình chat có một toggle nhỏ cạnh ô chọn model:
+
+- **Off** — tắt định tuyến, luôn dùng model đang chọn.
+- **Auto** — tự động chuyển sang model phù hợp nhất (nếu `gain ≥ min_score_gain`),
+  chạy luôn, hiện dòng thông báo `↪ Auto-routed to …`.
+- **Manual** — hiện hộp thoại xác nhận (có đếm ngược `confirm_timeout_sec`); user
+  đồng ý mới chuyển, từ chối / hết giờ thì giữ model hiện tại.
+
+Toggle được lưu **riêng cho từng màn hình** (`surface_modes`) và ghi đè `switch_mode` toàn cục.

+## Logical API (RoutingService)
+
+| Method | Tương đương REST trong đề bài |
+|---|---|
+| `reassess(policy=None)` / `reassess_background()` | `POST /models/reassess` |
+| `best_for(task_type, policy)` | `GET /models/best` |
+| `status()` / `assessments()` | `GET /models/assessments` |
+| `add_candidate(provider, model_id, tier)` | `POST /models/add` (tự trigger reassess) |
+| `route(surface, prompt, provider, model)` | phần quyết định của `POST /task/execute` |
+| `create_pending()` / `resolve_pending(id, approve, run)` | `POST /task/confirm-switch` (idempotent) |
+| `get_routing_config()` / `update_routing_config(**)` | `GET`/`PATCH /routing/config` |
+
+## Bảo mật & chi phí
+
+- **API key** đọc từ env (qua `api_key_env` của provider) — không ghi key vào config/log.
+- **Probe tốn tiền** → chỉ chạy theo lịch / khi thêm model / khi bấm "Reassess now".
+  Mỗi lần reassess ghi log số lượng API call.
+- **Idempotent** — reassess ổn định (chỉ latency dao động ~µs, dưới xa `min_score_gain`);
+  ghi atomic nên ngắt giữa chừng không hỏng config.
+- **Không gọi API thật trong test** — `clients.py`/`judge()` được mock hoàn toàn.

+"""Build a knowledge graph (Graph-RAG style) of code / document structure.
+
+Two builders:
+  - ``build_from_directory`` — stdlib only. Parses Python files with ``ast``
+    (files, classes, functions, methods, imports), Markdown/text files by
+    heading hierarchy, and JSON files by their own key/array structure. No
+    external dependency.
+  - ``build_from_codebase_memory`` — best-effort enrichment using the
+    codebase-memory-mcp knowledge graph when available; falls back to the local
+    builder on any problem.
+
+Both return a :class:`StructureGraph` of nodes + edges that the UI lays out and
+renders. A simple layered layout is provided.
