+### v0.4.117 — escaping portal-controlled strings
+
+Field names, titles, cell values and every other short string coming from a third-party portal were interpolated into markdown structure unescaped. Since every response here is read by a model, that has two effects: a newline ends the construct and opens a line that reads as server-authored — indistinguishable from the `> **Note**:` lines this server writes to instruct the model — and an unescaped `|` adds table cells, shifting later values under the wrong header.
+
+Worst case was `ckan_analyze_datasets`, which used none of the existing defenses and rendered the DataStore Data Dictionary (`info.notes`, publisher free text) straight into a bullet list. A newline let a portal fabricate a field entry, in the very tool an agent calls to learn which fields exist.
+
+`sanitizeInline` now sits in `utils/formatting.ts` beside `wrapUntrusted` and `safeUrlText`: collapses newlines, escapes pipes, and replaces backticks with U+02BC so a value cannot close the inline code span it is rendered in. It promotes the private copy that lived in `datastore.ts` and retires the three ad-hoc `.replace(/[\r\n]+/g, ' ')` copies, which stripped newlines but escaped neither pipes nor backticks.
+
+Long free text keeps `wrapUntrusted` — a fence states "this is data" better than escaping — and was already safe. The JSON path was never affected. URL query parameters use `encodeURIComponent`, not the markdown escaper: `&` and `#` would otherwise pass through.
+
+Three review rounds on #45, each finding real gaps. Two are worth recording. The first automated sweep matched `markdown +=`, so every renderer's opening `let markdown = \`# ...\`` escaped it — all four top-level headings. And the sweep wrapped two scoring weights that are our own numbers, not portal strings; both reverted. A grep-driven audit produced a false sense of completeness twice; if anything else surfaces, the answer is a generative test that enumerates portal fields, not a fourth grep.
+
+485 tests, 15 of them new.
+
+### v0.4.116
+
+Ships the two DataStore output fixes below, plus `.greptile/rules.md`: the automated review on #43 produced one confident false positive, so the invariants a generic reviewer cannot know are now stated in the repo.
+
+### DataStore tables no longer hide columns silently
+
+Both markdown renderers in `src/tools/datastore.ts` cut the record table at 8 columns with no notice. On the Messina electoral-lists resource (14 columns) the table stopped right before `cognome`, `nome`, `sesso` and `voti`: a model reading it saw an election dataset with no votes and no candidate names, and nothing told it anything was missing. Row truncation was already handled properly (`... and N more records`, `Total Records`); columns were not.
+
+Both renderers now append a note naming the omitted columns and pointing at the way to retrieve them (`fields` parameter for search, an explicit SELECT list for SQL, or `response_format: "json"`). The JSON path never had the bug — `compactDatastoreResult` passes every column through.
+
+Found while checking what the GovInsider piece on the OKFN Brazil/Uruguay pilot added to `docs/future-ideas.md` (nothing new — it covers the same pilot already recorded on 2026-06-11), but its failure mode is exactly this: the model fills a gap it cannot see.
+
+### `_full_text` no longer eats a table slot
+
+Surfaced by the end-to-end check above: `datastore_search_sql` on `SELECT *` returns CKAN's internal `_full_text` column, which repeats the whole row as one concatenated string. It was taking the first table slot and pushing out a real column, and the same query reported 15 columns via SQL against 14 via `datastore_search`. `_id` was already filtered; `_full_text` now is too, in both renderers and in the JSON output (where it was pure token waste). The two tools now agree on the column count.
+
+465 tests pass; verified end to end against `dati.comune.messina.it`.
+
 ## 2026-08-03
 
 ### v0.4.115
 
 First release published from CI. No functional change: this exists to exercise the release workflow added earlier today end to end — tag guard, OIDC authentication, provenance attestation — rather than discovering whether it works during a release that actually matters.
 
+Worked on the first try: the job went green in 34s and the attestation binds the tarball to `ondata/ckan-mcp-server`, workflow `release.yml`, ref `refs/tags/v0.4.115`, on a GitHub-hosted runner. `npm view @aborruso/ckan-mcp-server@0.4.115 dist.attestations` returns an SLSA v1 provenance; the same query on the hand-published 0.4.114 returns nothing.
+
+One snag worth remembering: `mcp-publisher` failed with an expired JWT, and re-running `login github` then died with `incorrect_device_code` before the browser step. Neither error named the real cause — the local binary was **1.5.0 from 6 March**, and the device-auth flow changed by **1.8.0**. Updating the binary fixed it. When the registry token expires, check the publisher version too: both were installed the same day and go stale together.
