+выполни план на ночь (полный план ниже — автономное исполнение, пользователь спит)
 
-## Plan
+## Ночная сессия — полный план (пользователь спит, 2026-08-03)
 
-1. Аудит: ruff/pyflakes — неиспользуемые импорты по scimesh/ и tests/; grep — неиспользуемые функции/модули (после рефакторингов могли остаться мёртвые экспорты, например в descriptors/search/graph core и sdk/_validation).
-2. Удаление мёртвого кода: неиспользуемые импорты, функции, дубли (например write_descriptor_shards/concatenate_descriptor_shards, если вытеснены дефолтами batch), устаревшие файлы-обёртки.
-3. Проверка, что ничего публичного/API не сломано: pyright 0 ошибок, pytest зелёный, go test/vet, mkdocs build.
-4. Финал: полный прогон, COMPLETED.
+### 1. Баги (реальные, найденные в проде)
+- [ ] **Пустое имя воркера**: регистрация принимает `name=""` (в БД пользователя было 15 таких). Фикс: валидация в `domain.NewWorker` (TrimSpace != "") + регрессионный тест. Частично начат — в `worker_test.go` сломан тест (`fixedTime` vs `testNow`), доделать.
+- [ ] **`worker-agent --check` не видит venv**: проверяет только системный python3; после Install воркер работает через `~/.scimesh-worker/venv`. Выровнять с визардом (пробовать venv, если он есть).
 
-## Progress
+### 2. Визуальный долг — рестайлинг старых страниц в дизайн-систему админки (#0b0e13, карточки, pill-статусы, кнопки)
+- [ ] `new-job.html` (форма запуска вычислений, UIElement-поля сохранить)
+- [ ] `job.html` (детали джоба: шарды, артефакты, прогресс, JS-логику сохранить)
+- [ ] `workloads.html`
+- [ ] `add-worker.html`
+- [ ] `profile.html`
+- [ ] Браузерная проверка каждой страницы (playwright).
 
-Эта сессия (доп. задача): Go-агент доведён до паритета, Python-демон удалён.
-- [x] Go-агент: token provider (static + worker-key exchange + 401 refresh на API/download/upload), CLEANUP_AFTER_SECONDS (очистка attempt-директорий), тесты auth (exchange/cache/reject/select/401-retry).
-- [x] Python: удалены daemon.py, cli.py, config.py, coordinator.py, artifacts.py, auth.py, transport.py; `scimesh/worker/` = только task.py + runners.py (SDK-мост, allowlist из env) + models.py (ClaimedTask/RunResult); консольный скрипт scimesh-worker убран из pyproject.
-- [x] Тесты: удалены test_worker_daemon.py, test_worker_auth.py; 208 pytest зелёные.
-- [x] Демо/смок переведены на Go-агент (demo-ui.sh: build_agent + env; two-worker-smoke.sh: AGENT_BIN + TASK_RUNNER_JSON). `make smoke-two-worker` PASS: 4/4 шардов, worker-a=2, worker-b=2.
-- [x] Документация: README, AGENTS.md, STATUS, handoff, mkdocs worker-integration/cli.
-- [x] Верификация: ruff clean; 208 pytest; pyright 0 (scimesh+tests); go test 11 пакетов + vet; mkdocs 0 warnings.

+- [ ] **Postgres integration-тесты для admin-методов**: `SetTrust`, `WorkloadSettings` (Get/List/Set), `ListJobsPaginated`, метрики (`JobCountsByDay`, `TaskStats`, `ArtifactSizeByKind`, `DatabaseSizeBytes`) — сейчас покрыт только sqlite. (build tag integration, docker postgres как в CI.)
+
+### 4. Фичи из плана (v2-задел)
+- [ ] **Статистика воркера в визарде**: статусная страница — claimed/completed/failed/heartbeat, парсинг из `worker.log` (обещано в docs/ui-admin-worker-plan.md §4).
+- [ ] **Admin: prune артефактов** (danger zone): удаление артефактов completed-джобов старше N дней (строки + blob-файлы), освобождает место; кнопка в Settings с подтверждением.
+- [ ] **Admin: удаление offline-воркеров** (устаревшие, как 15 мусорных) — кнопкой в Workers вместо SQL.
+
+### 5. Гигиена
+- [ ] **`pyproject.toml` версия 0.1.0 → setuptools_scm** (версия из git-тегов), убрать sed-костыль из release.yml; локальный `pip install -e .` покажет правильную версию.
+- [ ] Синхронизация STATUS.md / README с фактическим состоянием (админка, визард, wheel, авто-открытие, restyle).
+
+### 6. Верификация и релиз
+- [ ] Полный гейт: `go test -race ./...`, golangci-lint `--build-tags=integration`, pytest.
+- [ ] Браузерные проверки: админка (все секции), визард (install+start), рестайленные страницы.
+- [ ] E2E quorum-флоу (untrusted воркер через worker key → джоб требует quorum) в Docker, если останется время.
+- [ ] Релиз `v1.1.0-alpha.16` (бинарники + wheel), проверка ассетов.

+- ✅ **П.9 Docs**: STATUS.md синхронизирован (админка, визард, wheel, CTX-19/20 implemented).
+- ✅ **П.10 (доп.) Баг в serve-режиме**: worker-key exchange был недоступен снаружи (userservice на loopback) — добавлен прокси `POST /worker-tokens/exchange` на координаторе, `PublicUserserviceURL=""` + fallback на origin в add-worker. Проверено E2E.
+- ✅ **П.10 Quorum E2E (Docker)**: 2 untrusted-воркера с разными ключами (alice/bob) → джоб completed 3/3, в task_results по 2 голоса от разных владельцев с одинаковым sha256 → результат байт-в-байт = локальному эталону.

+
+**Goal:** A scientist installs one file, runs one command, and gets the whole

+no PostgreSQL, no Docker, no Python setup.
+
+**Depends on:** CTX-17 (embedded migrations, SQLite, embedded userservice).
+
+**Acceptance criteria:**
+
+- `coordinator serve` provisions `~/.scimesh` (databases, secrets chmod 0600,

+  127.0.0.1:8080 by default; `--open` opens the browser;
+- `--workers N` spawns N `coordinator agent` subprocesses that claim and

+- `install.sh` / `install.ps1` detect the platform, download the release
+  binary, and print the start command; both are release assets;
+- the PostgreSQL engine and the standalone userservice stay fully supported;
+- `coordinator serve` passes the full local E2E without any external service:
+  health, login, upload, claim, compute, reduction, byte-exact result.
+

+
+### CTX-19 — Coordinator Admin UI
+
+**Goal:** Replace the demo-level operator pages with a real admin console
+(`/ui/admin`): system overview, job management with filters and pagination,
+worker management (trust, capabilities), users/roles and worker keys,
+workload enable/disable, settings (read-only), and storage metrics.
+
+**Depends on:** CTX-11 (UI patterns, session/roles), CTX-15 (userservice
+proxy), the sqlite/postgres storage pair.
+
+**Status: implemented.** Admin console at `/ui/admin`: system/storage/health,
+jobs (filter + pagination + owner resolution), workers with trust controls,
+users & worker keys (userservice admin endpoints), workload enable/disable
+(`workload_settings` migration in both engines, enforced at submit time and
+hidden from the job form), metrics (7-day buckets, failure rate), and
+settings with an audited worker-token reveal. All `/ui/admin/*` routes are
+admin-only and backed by bounded read models; sqlite + postgres parity;
+unit/permission/integration tests green.
+
+### CTX-20 — Worker Setup UI
+
+**Goal:** A local setup wizard embedded in the **worker-agent** binary
+(`worker-agent setup`, browser on 127.0.0.1) that turns any machine into a
+worker: coordinator URL + auth (serve token or worker key), work dir,
+connection check, start/stop, and a live status page. Runs on machines that
+have only the worker installed — no coordinator needed.
+
+**Depends on:** the agent daemon; the worker-key exchange (CTX-15).
+
+**Status: implemented.** `worker-agent setup` serves the local wizard on
+127.0.0.1 (default port 12700): coordinator URL + token or worker key,
+work dir and name, preflight check (coordinator/health, python3, scimesh),
+config saved to `~/.scimesh-worker/config.json` (0600), start/stop of the
+worker as a background process, and a live status page with the agent log.
+The daemon also gained `--config <path>` (environment still wins) and
+`--check`. End-to-end verified: the wizard started a real worker that
+registered with a coordinator and appeared in the admin console.
+
+**Acceptance criteria:** full plan in
+[`docs/ui-admin-worker-plan.md`](docs/ui-admin-worker-plan.md) (section 4);
+the agent gains `setup`, `--config <path>`, and `--check`; end-to-end: the
+wizard starts a real worker that registers and completes a job.

 # SciMesh
 
-SciMesh is a scientific-workload framework for molecular datasets. Its public CLI
-runs exact similarity search and sparse similarity-graph construction locally in
-one Python process; it creates no dense similarity matrix. The Go/PostgreSQL
-coordinator and Go worker agents (which execute SDK workloads in a Python
-subprocess) can run a shard-based `similarity-search`
-pipeline locally. After every shard succeeds, the coordinator deterministically
-merges its candidates into one final global top-k CSV. See
-[`STATUS.md`](STATUS.md).
+SciMesh is a local-first platform for scientific computation on molecular
+datasets. It turns a scientific run into independent tasks, dispatches them
+to worker agents, and deterministically combines the partial results into a
+checksum-protected final artifact.
 
-The ChEMBL TSV database is intentionally not included in this repository. Download it separately and pass its path to the commands below. The expected columns are `chembl_id` and `canonical_smiles`.
+- **The Workload SDK (`scimesh.sdk`)** — a strict Python framework for
+  authoring scientific workloads: `similarity-search` (exact top-k Tanimoto),
+  `similarity-graph` (exact sparse graph), `descriptor-batch`, and
+  `molwt-filter`. Workloads are ordinary user scripts built on the SDK; they
+  run locally, in the conformance harness, and on claimed coordinator tasks
+  without touching any other part of the program.
+- **The coordinator and worker agents** — a Go/PostgreSQL coordinator with an
+  operator UI and Go worker agents that execute SDK workloads in a Python

+## Releases
+
+Every `v*` tag pushes a GitHub Release with static binaries for `coordinator`
+and `worker-agent` on linux/darwin/windows × amd64/arm64 (plus SHA-256
+checksums), the installer scripts, and the `coordinator` image on GHCR:
+
+```bash
+docker pull ghcr.io/emil28092005/SciMesh/coordinator:latest
+```
+
+For scientists: one command downloads the right binary, starts it, and opens
+the UI in the browser:
+
+```bash
+# Linux / macOS — installs, starts and opens the admin console automatically
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emil28092005/SciMesh/main/install.sh | bash
+
+# Windows (PowerShell)
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emil28092005/SciMesh/main/install.ps1 | iex"
+```
+
+Set `SCIMESH_AUTO_START=0` to install without starting anything. The old demo
+control room was removed: `/ui` is the admin console. A standalone
+worker is installed the same way (`bash -s worker`, or
+`SCIMESH_COMPONENT=worker` on Windows); its installer opens the local setup
+wizard (`worker-agent setup`) in the browser automatically.
+
+`coordinator serve` is the single-binary mode: it embeds SQLite (coordinator +
+userservice databases), the userservice itself, and local worker agents
+(`--workers N`, default 1). On first start it generates secrets and the admin
+password under `~/.scimesh`, prints the login, and opens the UI. No
+PostgreSQL, no Docker, no environment variables. The scientific runtime is a
+managed venv (`~/.scimesh/venv`); point `SCIMESH_PIP_PACKAGE` at your scimesh
+wheel to install it automatically.
+
+The coordinator's UI is the **admin console** at `/ui/admin` — cluster health
+and storage, paginated job table, worker fleet with trust controls, users and
+worker keys, workload enable/disable, metrics and the worker token. The job
+form (`/ui/jobs/new`), job detail pages and the workload library complete the
+operator surface; `/ui` redirects to the console, `serve --open` lands on it,
+and login returns you to the page you asked for. The **worker** binary (`worker-agent`) carries its own local setup
+wizard for machines that run only a worker: `worker-agent setup` opens a
+browser wizard at `127.0.0.1` that collects the coordinator URL and
+credential, runs a preflight check, saves `~/.scimesh-worker/config.json` and
+starts/stops the worker with a live log (see the
+[standalone docs](mkdocs/standalone.md)).
+
+Manual download and run of a release binary:

+```bash
+curl -L -o coordinator https://github.com/emil28092005/SciMesh/releases/latest/download/coordinator-linux-amd64

+./coordinator --version

+
+Cluster deployments keep the PostgreSQL engine (`SCIMESH_DB=postgres` with
+`DATABASE_URL`, or `coordinator setup` to provision it) and the standalone
+userservice (`users/`). `coordinator agent` runs a worker agent from the same

+Workloads can also declare how they should appear in the coordinator UI:
+a tuple of `UIElement`s (`scimesh.sdk.UIElement`) shapes the "New computation"
+form — widget, label, help, defaults, and ordering — plus the coordinator-side
+reduction mode (`reduction`: `top-k` or `ordered-concat`) and whether a single
+uploaded dataset can drive the workload (`upload_ready`). The strict parameter
+schema stays the authoritative validation contract.

 ## Milestone tracker
 
 | CTX | Status | Notes |
 | --- | --- | --- |
 | CTX-00 API and error contract | Implemented | Contract, OpenAPI, and request examples are in `docs/`. |
 | CTX-01 Go coordinator bootstrap | Implemented | Go service and Docker runtime in `coordinator/`. |
-| CTX-02 PostgreSQL migrations | Implemented | Applied by the Compose migration service. |
-| CTX-03 Transactional queue | Implemented | Real-PostgreSQL integration tests cover atomic claims and concurrency. |
+| CTX-02 PostgreSQL migrations | Implemented | Embedded into the binary (`AUTO_MIGRATE`); the CLI path is still available for managed databases. |
+| CTX-03 Transactional queue | Implemented | Real-PostgreSQL integration tests cover atomic claims and concurrency; the SQLite backend mirrors the semantics. |
 | CTX-04 Worker registry and HTTP API | Implemented | Registration, claim, heartbeat, result, failure, and status endpoints. |
 | CTX-05 Artifact storage | Implemented | Coordinator-owned inputs/results, checksum verification, and upload flow. |
-| CTX-06 Python Worker live-contract alignment | Superseded | The Python worker daemon was removed; the Go worker agent (`coordinator/internal/agent/` + `cmd/worker-agent`) now implements the lifecycle (register/claim/heartbeat/download/upload/submit/fail, token refresh, cleanup) and executes SDK workloads via the Python task entry `scimesh/worker/task.py`. E2E: `make smoke-two-worker` passes 4/4 shards with two agents. |
-| CTX-07 Distributed workload protocol | Implemented | Versioned Python contract models, registry, strict plan validation, and deterministic reduction ordering are in `scimesh/distributed/`. |
-| CTX-08 Distributed similarity-search | Implemented | Python planner resolves `query_id` once, creates deterministic shard plans, worker adapter emits exact partial top-k CSVs/metrics, and reducer matches the local reference. |
-| CTX-09 Reducer and final-result API | Implemented | Atomic `reducing` claim, deterministic coordinator-side top-k reducer, sanitized reducer failure, final artifact persistence, `result_uri`, and final CSV download. |
-| CTX-10 Distributed similarity-graph | Not started | Local reference exists; the SDK-built local graph workload already enforces the pair-coverage invariant. |
-| CTX-11 Dashboard/operator view | Implemented | Protected live control room: MkDocs documentation served at `/ui/docs/` (SCIMESH_DOCS_DIR; the demo mounts `site/` automatically), recent-run/worker overview, real pipeline-stage visualization, shard attempts and safe failures, validated similarity-search upload, coordinator artifacts, final-result download, bounded polling, a Workload library page rendering the embedded catalog from `scimesh workload export` (`/ui/workloads`, regenerated via `make workloads-export`). |
-| CTX-12 Reliability, security, CI | In progress | Unit, race, PostgreSQL integration, and smoke checks exist; CI hardening remains. |
-| CTX-15 User Service and access control | Implemented | User/owner scoping, verified contributors, worker keys, self-service enrollment, and quorum-backed untrusted workers are merged; local Go/Python and Docker/PostgreSQL checks passed. |
-| MkDocs documentation site | Implemented | A standalone documentation site (`mkdocs/`, `docs_dir: mkdocs`) covering the complete Workload SDK: guides (overview, authoring workloads, CLI, worker integration), the full auto-generated API reference for all 15 `scimesh.sdk` modules (mkdocstrings), and the writing rules (`mkdocs/approach.md`). Built with `make docs`, served inside the UI at `/ui/docs/`; the project's internal `docs/` directory is not part of the site. |
-| CTX-16 Workload SDK foundation | Implemented | `scimesh.sdk` provides strict immutable manifests/plans/artifacts, digest/trust-pinned tasks, typed DAGs, compatibility negotiation, verifier primitives with owner/binding-safe quorum inputs, resource eligibility/local allocation, measured package discovery, a trusted local core-batch conformance harness, and strict package discovery. Enforcing coordinator/Worker profiles remain fail-closed. |
-| SDK roadmap step 3: `descriptor-batch` | Implemented | The first SDK-built reference workload (`scimesh/workloads/descriptors/`): pinned 81-name RDKit 2D descriptor set, canonical one-row-per-input CSV, deterministic row-bounded shards, shard-index concatenation with one header, byte-identical local/distributed output, and a two-worker `untrusted_quorum` verifier test. |
-| SDK-built `similarity-search` and `similarity-graph` | Implemented | Both workloads are SDK-built packages (`scimesh/workloads/search/`, `scimesh/workloads/graph/`) built on the `MapReduceWorkload` authoring scaffold (`scimesh/sdk/batch.py`); they reuse the local scientific cores and are byte-identical to the single-process references (search; graph for both threshold directions and any block size). The graph reducer enforces the CTX-10 pair-coverage invariant. `scimesh/workloads/library.py` composes the built-in registry/runtime. |
-| SDK-built `molwt-filter` | Implemented | The minimal authoring example (`scimesh/workloads/molwt_filter/`): filters molecules by exact RDKit molecular weight with only one scientific hook, using the scaffold's new default sharding and concatenation hooks. Registered in the built-in library and as a `scimesh.workloads` entry point. |
-| SDK authoring scaffold | Implemented | `MapReduceWorkload` (exported from `scimesh.sdk`) assembles manifest, map/reduce stages, workflow, and digest-pinned handlers from three scientific hooks (partition/compute/merge), with overridable hooks for domain validation, plan-time resolution, custom task planning, and partial-key policy. The generic `scimesh workload list|run` CLI and the worker's allowlist-driven loading (`SCIMESH_WORKLOAD_ALLOWLIST`, `SCIMESH_CAPABILITIES`) let new workloads run without touching other code. |
+| CTX-06 Python Worker live-contract alignment | Superseded | The Python worker daemon was removed; the Go worker agent (`coordinator/internal/agent/` + `cmd/worker-agent`, or `coordinator agent`) implements the lifecycle and executes SDK workloads via `scimesh/worker/task.py`. |
+| CTX-07 Distributed workload protocol | Implemented | Versioned Python contract models, registry, strict plan validation, and deterministic reduction ordering. |
+| CTX-08 Distributed similarity-search | Implemented | Planner/worker/reducer match the local reference byte-exactly. |
+| CTX-09 Reducer and final-result API | Implemented | Atomic `reducing` claim, deterministic coordinator-side reducers (`top-k` and `ordered-concat`), sanitized failure, final artifact, `result_uri`. |
+| CTX-10 Distributed similarity-graph | Not started | Local reference exists; the SDK-built local graph workload enforces the pair-coverage invariant. |
+| CTX-11 Dashboard/operator view | Implemented | The demo control room was removed; `/ui` lands on the admin console. Job form/detail, workload library, add-machine and profile pages share the admin design system; MkDocs at `/ui/docs/`. |
+| CTX-19 Coordinator Admin UI | Implemented | `/ui/admin` console (see above), bounded read models, admin-only routes, sqlite+postgres parity with integration tests. |
+| CTX-20 Worker Setup UI | Implemented | `worker-agent setup` wizard with runtime installer, `--config`, `--check` (credential + venv probing), live status. |
+| CTX-12 Reliability, security, CI | In progress | vet, gofmt, race tests, golangci-lint (0 issues), PostgreSQL integration, and smoke checks exist. |
+| CTX-15 User Service and access control | Implemented | User/owner scoping, verified contributors, worker keys, quorum; also embeddable (`coordinator serve`). |
+| CTX-16 Workload SDK foundation | Implemented | Strict immutable manifests/plans/artifacts, digest/trust-pinned tasks, negotiation, verifier primitives, conformance harness. |
+| CTX-17 Self-provisioning + setup wizard | Implemented | Embedded migrations, `coordinator setup`, SQLite backend, embedded userservice, `serve` mode. |
+| CTX-18 Single-binary platform | Implemented | `coordinator serve` (data dir, secrets, admin bootstrap, local agents, managed venv) + `install.sh`/`install.ps1`; full no-external-service E2E green. |
+| SDK roadmap step 3: `descriptor-batch` | Implemented | Byte-identical local/distributed output, quorum verifier test. |
+| SDK-built `similarity-search` and `similarity-graph` | Implemented | SDK-built packages, byte-identical to single-process references. |
+| SDK-built `molwt-filter` | Implemented | Minimal authoring example; also the single-binary E2E workload. |
+| SDK authoring scaffold | Implemented | `MapReduceWorkload` with `UIElement` declarations, `reduction`, `upload_ready`; generic `scimesh workload list|run|export|allowlist` CLI. |
