 3. Poll `GET /sources/sync-status?source=<slug>` until the job finishes, then report the job `result` counts: `filesAdded`, `filesUpdated`, `filesRemoved`, `filesSkipped`, `filesMoved`, `chunksRemoved`, `chunksEmbedded` and `chunksSkipped` plus `embeddingDegraded` (safe, deduplicated embedding stop reasons). Payload indexing can succeed with missing/stale embeddings; report that debt separately. Read the two flags before interpreting completion. `cancelled: true` is not a failure, but the run stopped early: the counts are partial and a re-run converges. `truncated: true` means the walk stopped at `filesScanCap`, so files past the cap were never examined and no deletion or move was inferred — call that a partial pass, never a completed sync.
 4. If any errors occur, list them clearly with the affected source, scope, and file path.
 5. Distinguish live connector data, indexed payload and embedding freshness. Provider outage or disabled embedding preserves metadata/full-text indexing; semantic results may be old, or the response may fall back to filter search. Ordinary sync completion does not settle all embedding debt. Use `manage-sources` explicit debt catchup; terminal `paused` carries `result.embedding.pausedReason`, and Resume creates a new authorized job from durable debt.

-## URI Schemes
-
-| Scheme | Connector kind | Storage | Indexed | Example |
-|--------|---------|---------|---------|---------|
-| `brain://` | `brain` (builtin) | Qdrant vector DB (inline) | always | `brain://docs/note.md` |
-| `data://` | `local` (builtin) | Project data zone on disk + Qdrant | if configured & synced | `data://code/app.ts` |
-| `<slug>://` | `local` (user) | Any additional `local` mount, under its own slug (lower-case letters, digits and hyphens only — never a dot) + Qdrant | if configured & synced | `archive://old/x.md` |
-| `packages://` | `local` (builtin) | `_packages/` on disk + Qdrant | if configured & synced | `packages://my-pkg/tools/tool.json` |
-| `app://` | `local` (builtin, privileged mount) | Platform app zone (`~/.neuralis/app/`) | rarely synced | `app://config/sources/...` |
-| `neuralis://` | `local` (user, via `pnpm neuralis:mount add … --neuralis`) | The deployment's own `neuralis/` folder, live from the host (`scripts/`, `skills/`, `src/`, config — and `.env`) + Qdrant | if synced | `neuralis://scripts/mount.mts` |
-| `neuralis-skills://` | `local` (user, same overlay rooted at `<root>/skills`) | Just the shipped operator skills — the narrower default, offered first | if synced | `neuralis-skills://neuralis-operations/SKILL.md` |
-| `machine://` | `webtop` (`@neuralis/machine-core`) | Webtop sandbox | n/a | `machine://desktop/clipboard.txt` |
-| `<slug>://` | `host` (`@neuralis/agent-core`) | Operator's machine, OUTSIDE the container, via the operator-provisioned host broker | if configured & synced | `host-dev://repos/app/src/main.ts` |
-
-`os://<key>` is **not** a callable scheme — it is a decorative label
-rendered inside the system prompt's `<runtime_stack>` block for
-`NEURALIS_MOUNT_<KEY>` mounts. To address files inside a mount, use the
-`local`-kind source slug that was attached to that mount (e.g.
-`neuralis://` after `pnpm neuralis:mount add … --neuralis`).
-
-## Tool Quick Reference
-
-| Tool | Purpose | Key Detail |
-|------|---------|------------|
-| `fs_search` | Find by meaning, keyword, metadata, or live grep | `query` = semantic / grep pattern / filter content-keyword (tokenized over indexed text in `filter` mode), `glob` = filename keyword, `search_mode: "filter"` = metadata only, `search_mode: "grep"` + `folder_uri` = ripgrep over the live connector (works even for unsynced subpaths; results stay scoped to `folder_uri`; uri-policy `read`-gated). |
-| `fs_read` | Read content (batch max 10) | URIs or UUIDs. `line_start`/`line_end` for large files. |
-| `fs_list` | Workspace overview + folder browse (unified) | Omit / empty / `/` → full root (`all://`) with source registry. Pass a real URI to scope. `recursive:false` = direct children only (fast). `include=folders\|files\|all`, `summary_chars>0` attaches previews (use on small scoped folders — identity, rules). `include_metadata:true` surfaces id/category/tags/timestamps in the markdown. `only_indexed:true` skips the live merge. |
-| `fs_write` | Create, edit or restructure — one tool, one call | The VERB is a KEY: `create` (never overwrites — a taken name lands beside as `name-2.ext`), `overwrite`, `edit[]` (targeted `old_string`→`new_string`, in order), `insert` (by line), `lines` (replace a range), `fields` (category/tags/metadata/pinned), `move`, `copy` (file or folder; the destination may be in another source), `mkdir` (not on `brain://`), `revert` (1-level undo), `delete` (a file, or a whole folder recursively). Content verbs compose in ONE write; structural verbs stand alone. Agent-runtime deletes require approval. |

-## Indexed vs Live (connector-first contract)
-
-- **`brain://`** — Always indexed (content lives inline in Qdrant).
-- **`data://`, `packages://`, `neuralis://`, `app://` and any other `local`-kind slug** — Backed by a live `local`-kind connector; indexed mirror follows once sync has run.
-  - `fs_read` / `fs_list` go connector-first, so they work even when the index is cold or Qdrant is unreachable.
-  - Indexed searches require a warm index; payload and full-text indexing work without embeddings. Check `effective_mode`, `embedding_degraded` and row `embedding_status`: semantic requests can fall back to indexed text, and retained vectors can lag behind current content.
-  - `fs_search` in `grep` mode bypasses the index entirely and greps the connector directly (ripgrep / git grep / grep). It is uri-policy `read`-gated — only paths the caller holds `read` policy on are grepped (a `read:false` subtree is silently absent; a fully-denied `folder_uri` → 403). It needs no `execute`/shell/`exec.unconfined` access: `drive.search` + `read` policy is enough, making it the uri-policy-gated counterpart to `execute`+grep.
-- **`machine://`** — Backed by `machine-core`'s `webtop` connector against a running webtop session; `'auto'` enabled-state resolves through the host-injected probe.
-- **`host`-kind slugs** — Backed by `agent-core`'s host connector, resolving on the operator's machine outside the container. It exists only where the operator provisioned the broker; attaching one needs `drive.mount.host` **and** `drive.mount.privileged`. Addressed by its own slug like any other source.
-- **`FilePresence`** per node: `brain` (vector-only), `synced` (index + connector agree), `unindexed` (on-disk but not indexed yet), `stale_indexed` (index has it, connector doesn't).
-- **Unmounted dirs** — Not addressable as a Neuralis URI; the agent can still touch them through the `execute` tool's shell pipeline when the runtime grants exec, but `fs_*` will reject the URI.
-
-## Sources, Scope, and Access
-
-- Source slugs are URI schemes. Scoped clones use distinct schemes such as `local-alice://` or `machine-agent1://`; never assume every local source is named `data://`.
-- Built-in connector kinds come from package manifests: `local` is live disk, `brain` is Qdrant-backed internal memory, and other packages can contribute more `type: "source"` connectors through the same registry.
-- Source scopes are `project`, `user`, or `agent`. Project sources are visible to project members with the right feature grants; user/agent sources require ownership or scoped observation/modification features.
-- Feature gates: `drive.read` covers read/list/raw/events, the vector-health READS (stats and scan) and source metadata reads, `drive.search` covers indexed and grep search, `drive.write` covers create/modify/mkdir/copy/approve/upload, the mutating Pending Changes verbs and the vector-health `gc` sweep (`POST health/gc` — POST-only, `dryRun` defaults to false), `drive.mount` covers source create/update/delete/enable **and the two host-enumeration reads that precede an attach** (`sources/browse`, `sources/discoverable`), and `drive.sync` gates explicit sync plus cancel, reset, reindex and sync-status. Three features escalate above those and none is granted below the admin tier: `drive.policy` edits a source's URI policy, and `drive.mount.privileged` together with `drive.mount.host` are both required to attach a source on a high-blast-radius or host-plane root (and `drive.mount.privileged` alone gates BROWSING the filesystem root or a high-blast-radius zone). Reaching another identity's user- or agent-scoped source additionally needs `filesystem.observeScoped` (read) or `filesystem.modifyScoped` (write). The package declares two more features that gate affordances rather than paths: `packages.author` (the Packages panel authoring launcher) and `packages.registry` (the marketplace skill) — neither widens filesystem access.
-
-## Recovery and Health
-
-- Every write snapshots `version.baseline`; `fs_write {revert:true}` is the one-level recovery path.
-- A certified embedding generation locks its model and dimension. Existing collections without that proof retain unknown vectors as metadata indexes. Typed provider unavailability leaves payload indexing operational; invalid lock/schema records still fail closed. Changing an active generation requires an explicit rebuild rather than guessing vector compatibility.
-- Tool usage/accounting belongs under `_meta.neuralis.usage`; model-visible results stay in `content` and `structuredContent`.
