Activates the `rag.defaultIngestPolicy` KV registered in Phase 1
(#888) so users on a fresh install (or anyone who picks Manual mode)
no longer get every new ZIM auto-dispatched to the embed pipeline.
## Stacks on #888
This PR's base is `feat/kb-ingest-state-machine` (#888). The state
machine has to be in place for the decision function to be policy-aware;
GitHub will fast-forward the base to `rc` once #888 merges.
## Backend changes
- `decideScanAction` now takes a `policy: 'Always' | 'Manual'` argument
(defaults to `Always` for backward compatibility).
- New `ScanAction` kind: `create_pending`. Manual mode records that the
scanner has seen a new file (so the UI can surface a per-card Index
affordance later) without dispatching an EmbedFileJob.
- `scanAndSyncStorage` reads the KV and passes it through. The scan-result
log line now includes the active policy and a `waiting on user` count
for Manual-mode hits.
- `rag.defaultIngestPolicy` added to `SETTINGS_KEYS` so it's reachable
through the existing `GET/PATCH /api/system/settings` surface — no new
endpoint.
## Frontend changes
- New section in the KB panel between "Why upload" and "Processing Queue":
"Auto-index new content for AI? [Always | Manual]" — segmented radio
with copy explaining the 5-10× disk multiplier. Default Always.
- `useQuery('ingestPolicy')` reads the current value; clicking the
inactive option mutates and shows a notification confirming the new
behavior.
## Tests
- 14 unit tests on `decideScanAction` (was 9) — split into Always-mode
cases (preserves Phase 1's contract) and Manual-mode cases
(`create_pending`, `pending_decision → skip`, etc.).
- Type-check clean.
- Hot-patch + browser verification deferred until #888 lands; the state
machine smoke-tested cleanly on NOMAD3 in #888's PR, and this PR's
decision-tree changes are exhaustively unit-tested.
## RFC open question §3 — policy-change re-trigger
Switching Manual → Always doesn't auto-dispatch existing `pending_decision`
rows immediately. The next scan re-evaluates and dispatches them under
the new policy. This matches the RFC's "treat the switch as I've-
thought-about-it" instinct for the guardrail; full guardrail
implementation lands in Phase 3 task 14.
Project NOMAD's bundled docs (`/app/docs/*.md` and `README.md`) each
embed as their own KB source — currently rendering as 12+ individual
rows that swamp user-uploaded content in the Stored Files table.
Collapse them into one informational row:
> Project NOMAD documentation · 12 files · Managed by NOMAD
The admin-docs row hides the Delete button (those files would be
re-embedded on the next sync anyway, so deleting is a footgun). User
uploads and ZIMs keep their existing per-row Delete UX.
Also adds deterministic sort: ZIMs → user uploads → admin docs → other,
alphabetical within each bucket. Pure frontend change — `/api/rag/files`
response shape unchanged.
Decision logic extracted to `kb_file_grouping.ts` with 9 unit tests
covering bucket classification, sort order, count noun pluralization,
and empty-input handling.
Adds a check to RAG health to make sure nomad_qdrant is online, if not
then the user will be blocked from clicking any buttons in the KB modal
until they click the start qdrant button and let the container start
There is a new file qdrant_restart_policy_provider.ts, which tries to
ensure that the restart policy always exists for the nomad_qdrant
container even though the policy should have been there when the
container is created.
Add a warm charcoal dark mode ("Night Ops") using CSS variable swapping
under [data-theme="dark"]. All 23 desert palette variables are overridden
with dark-mode counterparts, and ~313 generic Tailwind classes (bg-white,
text-gray-*, border-gray-*) are replaced with semantic tokens.
Infrastructure:
- CSS variable overrides in app.css for both themes
- ThemeProvider + useTheme hook (localStorage + KV store sync)
- ThemeToggle component (moon/sun icons, "Night Ops"/"Day Ops" labels)
- FOUC prevention script in inertia_layout.edge
- Toggle placed in StyledSidebar and Footer for access on every page
Color replacements across 50 files:
- bg-white → bg-surface-primary
- bg-gray-50/100 → bg-surface-secondary
- text-gray-900/800 → text-text-primary
- text-gray-600/500 → text-text-secondary/text-text-muted
- border-gray-200/300 → border-border-subtle/border-border-default
- text-desert-white → text-white (fixes invisible text on colored bg)
- Button hover/active states use dedicated btn-green-hover/active vars
