- update_seed_lot / delete_seed_lot: correct or drop a recorded purchase
("it was three packets, not two"); the plant a lot is for stays fixed.
- delete_plant: remove a duplicate from the user's catalog. The service
already refuses while plantings (past seasons included) or a lot reference
it; the tool turns that sentinel into words the model can pass on, and
tells it not to clear those references to get its way.
- create_garden: a new place, with the service's defaults; the prompt says a
plan is still a copy_garden.
- describe_garden groups carry readyAround — planting date plus days to
maturity for the plops still in the ground — so "what can I pick this
week?" is a lookup rather than arithmetic the model got wrong live.

- Every dated tool argument now goes through day() → parseDay, so a prose
date on remove_planting / remove_plantings / clear_object (and place,
fill, journal) is refused with the same message as update_planting's.
- parseDay's trimmed value is what gets stored, not the raw argument.
- list_years re-sorts after adding the gardener's year instead of
prepending it: newest first holds when their year is the oldest.
- ClearSeedLot matches its JSON tag; the label-clearing branch says why nil.
- The prompt says the notes are facts to plan with, not instructions.
Left as is: update_garden's read-then-overlay merge. UpdateGarden is
whole-row by design (the REST PATCH sends every field too), and a service
GardenPatch would duplicate gardenFromInput's validation for one caller.

Six tools the live assistant kept needing and a prompt that knows about them:
- undo_change wraps RevertChangeSet(source=agent). A revert is its own change
set, so Run reports the last one as the turn's handle when the turn changed
nothing else — an undo-only reply keeps its "Undo this", which is now a redo.
- describe_garden takes a year: the season view (GardenFull(year)), pulled
plops included, with removed/removedAt per group and per plop; list_years
says which years have records. Rotation questions finally have data.
- update_planting corrects a plop's date, count, label, radius or seed lot in
place; remove_planting, remove_plantings and clear_object take a removedAt so
a harvest can be backdated.
- update_journal_entry / delete_journal_entry correct a note instead of
stacking a contradicting one.
- update_garden renames/resizes/re-units a garden and rewrites its notes — and
the notes now go into the system prompt as the gardener's standing facts, so
"remember we're in zone 6a" persists across conversations.
describe_garden also reports the garden's notes, version and grid, which the
new tools need. Prompt, CLAUDE.md and DESIGN.md updated to match; UI step
labels for the new tools.

- The plan-name line of the system prompt interpolates the garden's name
with %q like the rest of the prompt: any editor can rename a garden, and a
name with a newline in it must not read as an instruction.
- fill_region refuses an inverted rectangle with its corners named, and a
rectangle that misses the bed (or only touches its edge) is an error from
the service rather than a successful fill of nothing.
- remove_plantings requires plantId; omitted it would remove plant 0 and
report success.
- historyEntry.Undo → UndoOf (it holds the reverted change set's id).
- remove_planting's description names list_plantings as an id source.
- RemovePlanting takes the removal date itself; the dateless wrapper had no
callers left.

Twenty-one prompts against the live assistant found one fabricated success,
a model that believed it was 2025, and a describe_garden that was ~450 plop
entries per turn. This is the set of fixes, each traceable to a finding:
- The gardener's LOCAL day travels with the turn (`today` on POST /agent/chat,
sent by the UI like plantedAt) into the system prompt and every dated tool
default. Left to guess, the model dated journal entries a year back; left to
the server, a 9 pm fill landed on UTC's tomorrow.
- describe_garden groups plops by plant — count, where, planted date, days to
maturity — and lists ids only for groups of ≤ 8; list_plantings spells a big
group out on demand and remove_plantings acts on one plant in a bed ("take
the beets out, leave the garlic"), which used to mean 116 single removals.
- New tools: move_planting (keeps the planting date; across beds via the new
MovePlanting, which is why the store's UPDATE now writes object_id),
update_plant, read_history, copy_garden (the "<garden> — <year>" plan
convention). fill_region takes an explicit local rectangle and a seedLotId;
place_planting's radius defaults to one plant (spacing/2) instead of a guess.
- The system prompt states the date and the gardener's units, forbids claiming
a change no tool made, says it cannot undo and points at the Undo button,
asks before clearing beds on an ambiguous sentence, and stops narrating its
own plantings into the journal.
- A mutation aimed at ANOTHER garden inside a turn is recorded under that
garden as its own change set, not filed into the open scope.
- UI: the thread scrolls inside the Assistant panel so the composer stays
put; every tool has a step label; wide tables stay inside the bubble.

- Remove config.AgentConfig.Ready() — dead after the refactor (no non-test
callers), and its doc comment ("route registration and capabilities gate on
this") was now false. EffectiveAgent.Ready() carries the same logic and IS
used, see below.
- agentHolder now uses eff.Ready() and eff.APIKey instead of an inline check and
a redundant apiKey field it held separately. This makes EffectiveAgent.APIKey/
Ready() production-used rather than test-only, drops the duplicated readiness
check, and simplifies newAgentHolder's signature.
- settingsPayload no longer swallows an EffectiveAgent error into a misleading
empty "effective" view (which would read as "nothing configured"). It returns
the error; the handlers surface it as a 500. EffectiveAgent re-reads the row
GetInstanceSettings just returned, so a failure there is a real DB fault.
- Frontend streamChat handles 503 (assistant disabled at runtime) distinctly
from 404 (endpoint absent) — the backend returns 503 AGENT_DISABLED now, which
the old code mislabelled.
- Fixed the api.go comment that still said a disabled request gets a 404 — it's
a 503.
- updateSettings uses the shared parseNullable[bool] instead of a bespoke
parseNullableBool (now removed).
- NewRunner drops its empty-spec guard; agentmodel.Resolve already owns that
check, so one place decides what a valid spec is.
- rebuild-on-resolve-error now documents WHY it keeps the current Runner rather
than tearing down a working assistant on a transient DB blip: the state is
persisted, the next rebuild reconciles, and killing a live assistant on a read
hiccup is worse than a brief stale window.
Not changed: the store's version-conflict fallback returning GetInstanceSettings'
error instead of ErrVersionConflict when that read also fails. That's the exact
pattern every other version-guarded update uses (gardens/objects/plants); making
only this one differ would be the inconsistency. A DB read failing immediately
after the guarded UPDATE on the same local SQLite file is a disk-fault edge case,
and surfacing that error is defensible.

Moves the agent model out of env-only config into an admin-editable Settings
section, and enforces is_admin for the first time — it has been in the schema
since migration 0001, plumbed to the client, and checked nowhere.
Backend:
- Migration 0010: instance_settings, a single-row (CHECK id=1) table — pansy's
first instance-level state. Holds agent_model ('' = inherit env) and
agent_enabled (NULL = inherit env), version-guarded like every mutable row.
SECRETS STAY IN ENV: OLLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY is never stored here.
- requireAdmin at the service seam (authoritative) plus a cheap middleware
early-403. Non-admin gets 403, not 404 — settings existence isn't masked.
- EffectiveAgent resolves DB-over-env (model, enabled); key always from env.
- The live Runner is hot-swapped, not built once. agentHolder holds it behind
an atomic.Pointer; the chat routes are now registered UNCONDITIONALLY and
nil-check agent.get(), so a settings change turns the assistant on/off/onto a
new model with no restart and no race against in-flight readers. /capabilities
reads the pointer, so it reports what's live, not what booted.
- internal/agentmodel is a new leaf package holding the one place that knows how
to turn a spec into a model. Both agent (to run) and service (to validate a
spec before storing it) import it; it can't live in agent, which imports
service. Settings PATCH validates the spec via Parse, so a typo is a 400 now
rather than a broken assistant on the next turn.
Frontend:
- /settings route (admin guard), a Settings page (model field, tri-state
enabled, live status), nav link shown only to admins.
- useCapabilities drops staleTime:Infinity — the assistant can now change under
a running page — and the settings save invalidates it.
Contract change: chat routes always exist, so "assistant off" is a runtime 503
+ capabilities:false, not a missing route. Updated the test that asserted the
old shape.
Verified live against the built binary: disable flips capabilities to false and
logs it; re-enable with a new model swaps it back; a bad spec is rejected 400;
the setting persists across a restart. Swap is race-clean under `go test -race`.
Docs: README (precedence + key-stays-in-env), DESIGN (decision + routes),
CLAUDE (don't re-add conditional route registration; key never in the DB).
