Modify held the request open for a library search, a PubMed search, a web
search and a restating model call. That is minutes, and a browser gives up
first — Firefox abandons a non-streaming fetch at five minutes, the same
failure generating was moved off the request to fix in ef574edd. The server
carried on and saved the result while the person watched an error, and closing
the tab killed the work outright.
POST /my-resources/:id/refine now records the request and answers 202 with the
job, exactly as /generate does. The writing moved into refineResource(), which
the job runner dispatches to by kind; the job list, the five-second polling,
the restart recovery and the three-in-flight cap are all the work they already
did, unchanged. Ownership is checked again inside refineResource because the
resource can be deleted while the job waits.
The page follows the job instead of the response. Reporting is unchanged — the
unchanged reply, what was seen and what was searched — it is only said from the
job list now, so it still reaches the person who asked for it after a reload.
The existing coverage moves with the constant: the review test asserts
against review.MAX_SLIDES + 1, and the browser suite already checks the slide
count the form sends. Removed so the change is exactly the four lines.
Twenty was the review ceiling while the form allowed thirty, so a 21-30 slide
deck was written, stored and then silently never reviewed — and modifying one
above twenty was shown only its first twenty pages while the prompt claimed
one image per slide. The three numbers are the schema's own limit now, so a
deck that can be asked for can also be stored, reviewed and edited: the form's
max, both generation clamps and MAX_SLIDES are all 60.
Measured at that size before this change: 45 pages cost 28,796 prompt tokens
and 2.2s to review, a 46-page deck with a fault on page 24 was found and
re-laid correctly, and a 44-slide deck used ~5,900 output tokens of the
16,000 ceiling.
The switch was opt-in, and the callers that said nothing were the ones that
paid for it: a 16,000-token deck reasoned its whole budget away and wrote
nothing (reasoning_chars=51573), the four 2,000-token reviews of that deck did
the same, and a 16,000-token revision reasoned for a minute and a half before
writing a word — which is past the point a browser waits for a request. Every
clinical route (encounters, notes, chart review, the visits, take-home, and
the rest) passes no reasoning option at all, so all of them were in that
position.
Silence now means off for DeepSeek, in one place rather than in fifteen, and
an explicit effort still means what it says: a task that wants reasoning asks
for it. The retry after a reasoning-starved reply no longer asks for 'low'
either — on DeepSeek that means thinking on, which is how a starved call came
back starved with four times the budget. It adds room instead.
Other providers are untouched, the Groq Qwen profile included.
Writing a resource held the request open for as long as it took: a library
search, one or two long model calls, a review, then figures. Measured end to
end that was six minutes on 2026-09-16 (00:40 to 00:46:16, resource 53), and
Firefox abandons a request that has said nothing for five — the browser
reported "NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource" while the server
carried on and saved the deck anyway, so a generation that worked looked
like a failure and left no status line.
The request now records what was asked and answers 202; the work runs on the
server as a job; the page lists what is being written, what landed and what
failed, polls while anything is in flight, and reloads the library when one
lands. Several can run at once, a reload loses nothing, and a boot pass marks
jobs stranded by a restart as failed rather than spinning for ever.
The same generation also ran with DeepSeek's thinking on, which is what made
it take minutes rather than seconds: the 16,000-token write spent the whole
budget reasoning and returned an empty reply (completion_tokens=16000,
reasoning_chars=51573), which fired the automatic retry at four times the
budget, and the 2,000-token reviews of that deck starved the same way four
times over. Thinking is now off for the writing, the review of it and a
revision — DeepSeek's own field, sent by the model wrapper. Other clinical
routes are deliberately untouched and keep the provider default.
The review inherits the writer's rule rather than hard-coding it, so a task
that wants reasoning can still ask. Migration 1781500000000_resource-jobs.js
adds user_resource_jobs; the container entrypoint applies it before the app
starts.
POST /api/auth/login answers 410 for everyone, administrators included. The
sign-in screen never draws an email or a password: it is the provider's
button, or a sentence saying sign-in is not configured. The admin CLI no
longer resets passwords. The e2e harness mints its sessions inside the
container instead of signing in with a password.

The pool was cases — "A 6-week-old with 3 days of projectile vomiting… which
fluid do you start?" — and the user, reading them on the assistant's front
page: "Vague nonsense clinical scenarios. I want concrete things people learn
from and pathophysiology if possible, all related to peds. No more clinical
scenarios. Use deepseek with its reasoning off."
So the brief is inverted. A question asks one definite thing with a definite
answer — a mechanism, a distinction between two look-alikes, the number that
decides, the reason behind a rule of practice — mechanism first, naming its
disease, drug or finding, and staying paediatric. The filter refuses a
vignette opener and a bare definition instead of demanding a number; the
prompt version moves to 3 so every deployment rebuilds the pool once; the
model defaults to DeepSeek flash with thinking disabled, which the assistant
already knows how to ask for.

Compare cards were as tall as the body whatever they held, so two columns of
four short bullets sat in cards 60% empty; a one-sentence callout sat in a
card two thirds of the slide. Both now size to the text. The callout card's
fixed brown ink was the worst contrast in the catalogue on Board Review's
mint card; it takes the theme's ink. A question slide may carry image_prompt
— a film beside the stem, drawn or left as a labelled frame like a figure.
The evidence-based formats (board review, journal club, QI, abstract, debrief)
gain a References part and the brief says the deck ends with it: DeepSeek
skipped it when it was only suggested.

A refresh landed on a new empty chat with the conversation a click away in
the list. The open chat's id is remembered per account and reopened on
load; New chat forgets it; a chat deleted elsewhere is quietly gone.
DeepSeek models think by default: measured on ds-deepseek-v4.1-flash, a
three-sentence clinical answer spent 301 reasoning tokens and 2.9 s before
writing and gave the same answer in 0.9 s with thinking off. The assistant's
reasoning effort now comes from CLINICAL_ASSISTANT_REASONING_EFFORT ('low'
as before; 'none' switches thinking off where a model allows it, sent as
DeepSeek's own thinking field through LiteLLM).

DeepSeek flash wrote 'A. Start IVIG' into option text the renderer already

With illustration off, or for a picture no model should draw — a real
radiograph, a run chart, a photograph — the figure or image slide used to
become a slide of text, and the deck forgot it had wanted a picture. It now
keeps a dashed, labelled frame in the picture's place, on figure slides,
full-slide images and the image shapes of custom slides, so the author can
drop their own in after downloading; the Word export says what belongs
there. Figures already drawn are never turned into frames. The one format
guidance that implied a slide authored live now says 'fill in by hand'.

A theme is a look and the slide vocabulary is what one slide can be; neither
said what a journal club is (PICO, methods, appraisal, bottom line) or that a
board review runs in case-question-answer cycles, so every deck came out as
the same lecture. assets/deck-formats.json holds ten formats distilled from
how departments run each session — grand rounds, journal club, morning
report, M&M, board review, noon conference, simulation debrief, parent
education, QI project, research abstract — each a sequence of parts naming
the layouts it is usually drawn with and whether it may repeat. The brief is
prose after the layout vocabulary; a part is a unit the model reuses as many
times as the material needs, and every slide stays one of the twelve types.
Chosen beside the theme, 'Free' by default, stored on the deck and carried
through modifications.

The search service can hold several Milvus collections, each with its own
embedder, but a search names one or gets the default, so a second collection
was invisible to the assistant. The client now learns the list off the query
path (at warm-up and on the session timer), and only when the service lists
more than the default does a search fan out — one call per collection in
parallel, fused by reciprocal rank so scores from different embedders are
never compared. With one collection, today's case, the request is byte-for-
byte what it was and no listing call is made while anyone waits.

Three things the load path lacked. The retrieval slots had an unbounded
line behind them, so a burst meant silent waiting; past a bounded line, or
after eight seconds in it, a caller now gets 'the library is busy' and a
503 with a retry hint. The paid routes had no per-account ceiling; they
now get one, counted in Redis so every replica sees the same count and
nothing is refused when Redis is absent. And the same library search
asked twice within a minute (a retry, a refresh) went to the library
twice; it is now answered from Redis, with 0 turning that off.

The flow lived in a Map inside the web process; with more than one
replica the poll could land where the flow was never started and every
sign-in would look expired. It now sits in Redis with the same 20-minute
life and one-per-account rule, and falls back to memory when there is
no Redis, which is what tests and a single-process box always had.

The clinical-assist indexer no longer polls Nextcloud every five minutes; it
scans once at start and then on POST /api/v1/vector-sync/scan with a bearer
token. The admin panel shows what it reports and carries the button; the

under lockdown, the fields do not.

The author presses "Copy a share link" and sends it however they like.
Whoever follows it (app.pedshub.com/#share=<token>) is signed in first if
need be — the token survives the trip through the SSO — then shown what it
is and who from, and adds it with one press. Only the token's hash is
stored; a link lasts 30 days and can be withdrawn; accepting twice is
harmless; the owner following their own link changes nothing. Sharing by
email is gone: nobody is looked up by address. "Everyone signed in" stays
as a switch.

A resource was private with no way out but the author's own Nextcloud.
Share opens reading — open, preview, download — to one person at a time by
exact email (no account is ever listed) or to everyone signed in with one
switch; what others share appears in your library marked "Shared by …".
Writing never travels: modify, re-skin, delete and the share list stay the
author's, every write still filtered on user_id, and the read routes go
through one reader rule. Rows follow the resource and the person.

A pathway or an algorithm had no slide of its own and came out as bullets.
"flow" is a slide of two to eight steps, each a short phrase with an
optional note; the exporter lays it out — across for up to four, down for
more — as rounded boxes joined by arrows in the shape vocabulary the
renderer already draws, so the model is never asked for coordinates and
Python gains one small builder. Word gets the steps as a numbered list.
The theme sample shows one, so every template demonstrates it.

A PowerPoint or Word file cannot be shown in a browser and a phone has
nowhere to open one. Preview renders the resource the way its download
would be built, turns it into one PNG per page (Gotenberg to PDF, pdftoppm
to pages), and shows the pages in an overlay that scrolls and pinch-zooms
like anything else. Rendered once per version — updated_at and theme are in
the key — and served from disk afterwards. The theme picker's sample deck
has the same Preview beside its download.
Every presentation now shows the theme picker in the library, since
markdown slides take a theme too.

[1] early in an answer and then "[2][1]" later showed "2 1". A run of
adjacent chips is now sorted by what it displays — a core rule after inline
parsing — so it reads "1 2". Text between two clusters keeps them apart,
every chip still points at its own source, and the numbering itself is
unchanged: only the order within a run moves.

The account boundary reloads a tab when the shared session changes under
it — the guard against one account's tab showing another account's data.
A second tab signing in as the same person is a new session, not a new
account; it is adopted, and the reload is kept for a different owner or
none. "Your account session changed. Reload to continue safely" now means

Both PedsHub apps now take admin and moderator from the same two Authentik
groups. oidc.admin_groups and oidc.moderator_groups name them; unset means
local roles stand. Applied at every sign-in so removal at the SSO demotes

The app has no pages and is not getting any. Another site can still send
someone straight to a tab by naming it in the hash: it is read once at
load, stored where sign-in looks for the last tab, and dropped from the
URL, so it survives the round trip through the SSO and does not stick to
the address bar. #resources, #deck and #decks all mean My Resources.

Three generations in a row fell back to plain slides for the same reason,
visible once a failed reply was kept whole: the model wrote "rows":[[…]]}
and then ,"notes":"…"} — the slide closed before its notes, which is not
JSON. On parse failure the one premature brace is removed, bounded to the
schema's slide keys; a brace that legitimately closes an inner object is
left alone. Both test generations now come back as designed decks.
Modify used to hand the model's new deck back without its theme; the look
is the author's, so it is carried over, and the column agrees.
Failed deck replies are kept under data/logs/deck-failures for the next
time "the reply was not a deck" needs reading rather than guessing.

"Change template" answered "no slide layout" for 28 of the 41 presentations
in production: the theme lived only inside the deck JSON, and a presentation
whose deck reply failed twice and fell back to markdown slides had nowhere
to keep one. The theme is a column now, written at generation and by the
picker, and the markdown slide builder carries it to the same renderer field
a designed deck uses. A deck's own theme field is kept in step. Articles are
the only thing refused — they have no slides.
A deck reply that fails to parse is logged with its first 240 characters, so
the next "the reply was not a deck" can be read rather than guessed at.

Cases are three to four times the length of headings, and 30 of them did
not fit the 2,600-token ceiling: the JSON was cut mid-list, failed to parse,
and whole categories came back with nothing kept. The ceiling is 7,000,
batches are 20, and a reply that is still cut off yields every question that
finished rather than none. Each batch logs what it offered.

The pool read like a chapter index — "What red flags in a child's headache
history warrant investigation?", "Which clinical scores are useful for
asthma?". The prompt now asks for what a clinician types with a patient in
front of them: a one-line vignette with an age and at least one number,
then the one decision to make now. The filter enforces it: a number is
required, textbook openers are refused, and the length cap makes room for a
case.
A pool carries the prompt version it was built with. One from an older
version is served as before and rebuilt in the background, so a prompt
change reaches the screen without anyone pressing Regenerate.
