 `uiBlocks.richBlocks` defaults to `true`: the prompt offers the rich blocks, and `stepper` when a host action has `handles: "stepper"`. The `checklist` line names the `handles: "checklist"` actions as its callback, or, without one, tells the model to leave `callback` out so ticks stay local. This is a behaviour change on upgrade: every host with `uiBlocks` on gets the new blocks in its prompt. Set `richBlocks: false` while shipped clients (for example older native builds) cannot render them; the prompt is then the same as before rich blocks, even with a stepper action registered. The opt-out changes only what the model is told to write. Validation accepts the rich blocks either way.

 Each `attachments` item is `{type: "image" | "file", url, mimeType, filename?}`. The `url` must be `http(s):` or `data:`. Client-only URLs (`blob:`, `file:`, `content:`, `ph:`) return `400` before streaming starts, because neither the model provider nor a later page load can read them. Upload the file with `POST /files/upload` first, or send it as a `data:` URL.
 
-When `fileStorageService` is set, `data:` attachments are uploaded with `FileStorageService.upload`. The saved user prompt then stores the storage `url` plus `gcsKey`, not the base64 payload. The model still receives the original data for that turn. On later turns, parts with a `gcsKey` are sent to the model as 1-hour signed URLs. A failed upload returns `502 Attachment upload failed`. Without storage, attachments are saved as sent.
+When `fileStorageService` is set, `data:` attachments are uploaded with `FileStorageService.upload`. The saved user prompt then stores the storage `url` plus `gcsKey`, not the base64 payload. The model still receives the original data for that turn. On later turns, a part whose `gcsKey` names a live `FileAttachment` owned by the conversation's owner is sent to the model as a 1-hour signed URL; any other part keeps its stored `url` and is not signed. A custom `fileStorageService` whose `upload` does not create `FileAttachment` records therefore gets no signed URLs on later turns. A failed upload returns `502 Attachment upload failed`. Without storage, attachments are saved as sent.
 
 `fileUploadsEnabled` turns uploads off without removing storage. Pass `false`, or a function that returns `false`, and any prompt that includes attachments returns `403 File uploads are disabled` before streaming. Omit it, or pass `true`, to leave uploads enabled. The example app wires this to the `file-uploads` feature flag.

+## Cost and abuse limits
+
+`@terreno/ai` sets no per-user limit on concurrent turns, tokens, or spend for `/gpt/prompt`
+or the headless turn action (`POST /gpt/histories/:id/turn`). Any signed-in user can start as
+many turns as the host lets through, and each one calls the model with the app's server-side
+key unless the request brings its own `x-ai-api-key`.
+
+A reply keeps running after the client disconnects. This is by design: `/gpt/prompt` saves the
+reply as a `streaming` prompt so a reload can resume it through `GET /gpt/histories/:id/stream`,
+and the turn action finishes and saves the turn whether or not the client waits. Closing the tab
+does not stop the model call or its cost.
+
+Before exposing AI routes to users, do both:
+
+1. Enable HTTP rate limiting on `TerrenoApp`. It is off unless you pass `rateLimit`. AI routes
+   fall in the `api` bucket, which counts requests, not tokens:
+
+   ```typescript
+   new TerrenoApp({
+     userModel: User,
+     rateLimit: {
+       store: "redis", // "memory" (default) | "redis" | "mongo"; use a shared store with more than one instance
+       trustProxy: 1, // behind a load balancer such as Cloud Run
+       limits: {
+         windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // default 15 minutes
+         apiMax: 600, // default; lower it to bound chat turns per user or IP
+         authMax: 20, // default
+       },
+     },
+   });
+   ```
+
+   For a tighter limit on chat alone, add `createRouteRateLimitMiddleware({name, max, windowMs,
+   store, keyBy})` from `@terreno/api` in front of the AI routes. See
+   [Rate limiting](../how-to/rate-limiting.md).
+2. Set a budget, quota, or spend alert with the model provider (for example a Google Cloud
+   budget alert and Vertex AI or Gemini API quotas), so a runaway caller or bug is caught by the
+   provider even when the app's own limits are loose.
