+| `WONTOPOS_MODEL` | The engine. Default `tablet-2` — same token price as `tablet-1` and the only released line that can serve photos and re-ask. Also `tablet-1`, `scroll-1`, `scroll-1.2`. |
+| `WONTOPOS_VERIFY` | Default re-ask passes for `search`, 0-3. Default `0`. Each pass is another engine call, billed for what it delivers; the agent can raise it per call. |
+| `WONTOPOS_MAX_IMAGES` | Default photo results per `search`, 0-5. Default `0` — see below. |
+| `WONTOPOS_BASE_URL` | Self-hosted deployments only. |
+| `WONTOPOS_READ_ONLY` | `1` / `true` / `yes` / `on` / `y` / `t` = read tools only, see Security. A value that is none of those (and none of `0` / `false` / `no` / `off`) stops the server rather than being read as off. |
+| `WONTOPOS_ALLOW_STORE_OVERRIDE` | `1` (same spellings) = multi-store; default = pinned, see Security. |
+
+**Why photos default to none.** The caller here is a model reading JSON. An image
+memory arrives as a row of metadata and a caption, not a picture it can look at, so
+the service default of one photo per search spends context on something the agent can
+only paraphrase. Raise `WONTOPOS_MAX_IMAGES` (or pass `max_images` on a single call)
+when the user is actually asking about photos.
+
+The server asks the service what the configured model can serve, once at boot, and
+says so in its startup line. On an engine without the photo channel or re-ask, those
+options are never sent — asking for either there is refused by the API rather than
+quietly ignored, and that refusal would otherwise land on every search.

 ## Changelog
 
+- **1.0.16** - the engine options reach the agent, and the answer keeps what they
+  produce. `search` gains `verify` (re-ask passes, 0-3) and `max_images` (0-5), both
+  already in the API and in no client here. Photos default to **0**: this server
+  answers a model, and a picture it cannot look at is context spent on a caption. The
+  default engine is **`tablet-2`** — same token price as `tablet-1`, and the only
+  released line that can serve either option; it is named by this package rather than
+  inherited from the SDK, because a semver range means two installs of the same server
+  could otherwise sit on different engines with nothing saying so. What each model can
+  serve is asked of the service at boot, not kept in a table here.
+  Two fixes underneath. `search` now reports `memories` plus `images` and
+  `verify_used` — the SDK's `search()` merges the lanes down to one array, so a photo
+  lane (delivered separately) and the count of passes actually run were paid for and
+  discarded. And the response cap could not see a nested list: `recall` puts all three
+  of its arrays one level down, so the biggest reply this server produces was the one
+  that fell through to a string cut, which is the one result that is not valid JSON.
+  It now finds lists by shape, drops whole entries, and says how many went.
+  Four more, found by auditing this server against fixes the SDKs already carry:
+  a date-only `event_date` in any spelling but zero-padded ISO (`2026-3-14`,
+  `March 14, 2026`) was parsed as LOCAL midnight and stored **one day early** on
+  every UTC+ host — the exact shift the padded path was written to avoid, reached
+  through the one spelling it did not recognize. `WONTOPOS_READ_ONLY=on` read as
+  OFF: an operator who believed they had installed a consult-only server got one
+  whose agent can delete, with nothing in the boot output to say so, so an
+  unrecognized value now stops the server instead of being guessed. Under
+  `ALLOW_STORE_OVERRIDE` a `user_id` from the model is trimmed and checked the way
+  the configured one always was — `"alice "` folds to the collection `alice_`, a
+  store nothing else reads. And when a trimmed reply carries a paging cursor, the
+  note says the cursor points past what was dropped and names the `limit` to
+  re-request with: those entries were not merely truncated, they were unreachable.
