 Authenticated browser requests use a server-side session cookie; login creates a session and logout invalidates it. The liveness endpoints (`GET /api/v1/health/live` and `GET /healthz`) intentionally remain unauthenticated so Docker, ingress, and monitoring health checks can use them. Authentication is not a substitute for tenant/authorization checks: protected routes must enforce the session and organization boundary server-side.
 
+### Criteria-first discovery
+
+`POST /api/v1/discovery` accepts a bounded `criteria` object and may omit `seed_urls`. In that mode, the API calls the configured generic JSON search provider, bounds returned URLs to at most 50, and feeds them into the existing SSRF-checked, same-origin crawler and tenant-scoped persistence. Explicit `seed_urls` (1–5 public URLs) remain supported for controlled runs. Without a provider, the criteria-first request returns `503 {"error":"not_configured"}`. Check `GET /api/v1/discovery/provider-status` for redacted readiness. Configure `SEARCH_PROVIDER_URL` (HTTPS endpoint), `SEARCH_PROVIDER_ALLOWED_HOSTS` (comma-separated exact hostname allowlist containing the endpoint host), and optional `SEARCH_PROVIDER_API_KEY`; unsafe or missing configuration is never called. The endpoint must return JSON `{"results":[{"url":"https://example.test"}]}` (or `items`/`website`/`link` equivalents).

 ## Phase 5 source boundary and remaining limitations
 
 Phase 5 defines a source adapter contract and registry; Phase 8 adds a bounded website-observation adapter, but it does not implement general network discovery, enrichment scheduling, or a live external-source adapter. A source adapter must declare its identity, terms owner, permitted purpose, rate limits, retention class, query/result schema, dry-run behavior, and health/circuit controls. CSV and manual reference adapters may be used for operator-supplied data; they must preserve source attribution and raw source records, and must not silently turn preview data into outreach or verified facts.

 Phase 12 remains pilot-grade until transition validation, immutable interaction/outcome history, suppression precedence, report definitions/timezones, retention/deletion jobs, export controls, idempotent writes, and cross-tenant regression tests are exercised end to end. The current Compose stack still has no durable CRM worker, scheduler, delivery provider, or outreach capability.

+
+The Windows client is specified as a thin WebView/WebView2 shell over the same authenticated `apps/web` UI and remote API; it does not fork dashboard options or own a local database.

+
+The desktop uses the same server-side session cookie, tenant authorization, suppression/no-send boundaries, and `apiBase`/`assetVersion` runtime configuration as web. A future Windows release additionally requires a pinned shell/toolchain, clean-room staging checks, Authenticode signing with a hardware-backed or managed key, exact CORS configuration, artifact hashes, and a rollback/revocation owner.

 ## Endpoint contract
 
+### Criteria-first AI web research
+
+`POST /api/v1/discovery` with `criteria` and no `seed_urls` uses the optional,
+fail-closed AI research provider. It sends bounded criteria to the configured
+approved browsing provider and accepts only a bounded list of HTTPS URL targets;
+the server then fetches those targets through the existing SSRF-safe crawler.
+Only fetched-page evidence is persisted. Provider claims, summaries, prompts,
+and contact data are never persisted as discovery evidence. Explicit `seed_urls`
+remain the controlled, operator-supplied mode.
+
+The provider status is available at authenticated `GET
+/api/v1/discovery/ai-provider-status` (the older
+`/api/v1/discovery/provider-status` alias is retained). Configure only on the
+server. The native Nous adapter uses OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions at
+`https://inference-api.nousresearch.com/v1/chat/completions` and strict
+`web_search`/`scrape_website` tools backed by an allowlisted Firecrawl-compatible
+API. Configure server-side `NOUS_API_KEY`, `NOUS_MODEL`, `NOUS_BASE_URL`,
+`NOUS_ALLOWED_HOSTS`, `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`, `FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL`, and
+`FIRECRAWL_ALLOWED_HOSTS` with `AI_RESEARCH_PROVIDER=nous_portal`. Tool calls,
+responses, criteria, and results are bounded; page text is untrusted; only
+structured HTTPS targets are accepted and the existing SSRF-safe crawler fetches
+and persists evidence. Status is fail-closed and never returns secrets.
+
+
 All protected endpoints require the server-side session cookie. Every query is constrained by the authenticated user's `organization_id`; IDs from another tenant behave as not found and must not disclose whether a record exists.
 
 Phase 7 domain routes (all tenant-scoped) are `POST /api/v1/businesses/{id}/domains/check`, `GET /api/v1/businesses/{id}/domains/check?domain=...`, `GET /api/v1/domain-checks`, `GET /api/v1/businesses/{id}/domain-candidates`, and `POST /api/v1/businesses/{id}/domain-candidates/check-availability`. The current implementation is intentionally conservative: a successful address lookup is reported as `ok`, unresolved/empty results as `unknown`, and an availability check returns `unknown`/`not_configured` because no provider is enabled. Treat these as observation states, not ownership or availability claims.

+# Windows desktop client
+
+## Status and architecture
+
+The desktop deliverable is a thin Electron shell that loads the unchanged `apps/web` bundle. In development it can load the bundled UI or a validated `--web-url=https://...`; in packaged builds the web assets are copied into `resources/web`. The shell provides first-run connection settings, safe backend URL persistence, reconnect/reload, external-link handling, and session/cache clearing without exposing secrets to renderer code.
+
+Build the Windows installer/portable executable on a Windows-capable build host after installing dependencies:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run test
+npm run verify
+npm run build:win
+```
+
+Until one is selected and signed, do not describe an unsigned artifact as released. The source check is Chromium- and Windows-independent and is runnable from the repository root:
+
+```powershell
+node apps\desktop\scripts\smoke-desktop.mjs
+```
+
+The check is Chromium- and Windows-independent, verifies that all referenced web assets exist, confirms the desktop manifest covers local HTML assets, rejects a second UI copy, and compares the desktop route list with the web smoke harness. It is also runnable on Linux/macOS:
+
+```bash
+node apps/desktop/scripts/smoke-desktop.mjs
+```
+
+## Remote backend connection
+
+The desktop client is a remote API client, not a local database or API server. Configure the web runtime object before packaging or at deployment time:
+
+```js
+window.__PROSPECT_CONFIG__ = Object.freeze({
+  apiBase: 'https://api.example.com',
+  assetVersion: 'phase-15'
+});
+```
+
+- `apiBase` is the approved API origin; trailing `/` is accepted by the client and removed when building paths. An empty value uses the same origin, then the legacy `window.API_BASE`/`localStorage.prospect_api_base` fallback used by the web client.
+- `assetVersion` is a cache-busting release label and is not a secret.
+- Do not place API tokens, passwords, provider credentials, private keys, or session values in `config.js`, the manifest, the executable, logs, or installer metadata.
+- The shell should provide network availability diagnostics and a retry path, but must not silently switch to another API origin.
+- The API must be reachable over HTTPS in production. Local HTTP is suitable only for development (`http://127.0.0.1:8000` API and `http://127.0.0.1:8080` web server).
+
+## Authentication and session behavior
+
+The desktop uses the same login and session contract as web:
+
+1. `POST /api/v1/auth/login` receives the email/password form over the configured origin.
+2. Requests include `credentials: 'include'`; the API sets a server-side session cookie.
+3. Startup calls `GET /api/v1/auth/me`. A `401` shows the login screen; it does not expose cached workspace data.
+4. `401` from a protected request clears the dashboard and asks the user to sign in again. `403` remains an authorization/workspace denial.
+5. Log out calls `POST /api/v1/auth/logout`, invalidates the server session, resets the form, and returns to login.
+
+The shell must use the host's cookie jar/WebView profile, preserve cookies only for the configured origin, and provide a user-visible sign-out/clear-session operation. Never copy cookies into local storage, command-line arguments, crash reports, telemetry, or custom headers. A desktop session remains a bearer credential: lock the workstation, use OS account protection, and sign out on shared machines. Multi-factor authentication, password reset, and session administration are backend responsibilities; the current pilot does not claim those capabilities.
+
+## Supported configuration
+
+Supported desktop runtime configuration is intentionally limited to the two keys in the manifest: `apiBase` and `assetVersion`. Backend deployment configuration remains environment-only and is not desktop configuration:
+
+- `APP_ENV`, `LOG_LEVEL`, `CORS_ORIGINS`, `API_PORT`, `WEB_PORT`, and `DATA_DIR` are deployment settings.
+- Production requires `SESSION_SECRET` of at least 32 characters, supplied through a secret manager/protected environment.
+- `BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_EMAIL` and `BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD` are one-time provisioning inputs; remove and rotate them after bootstrap.
+- `AUTOMATED_OUTREACH_ENABLED` is rejected when enabled; the enforced default is `false`.
+
+The desktop must not offer controls that imply it can override tenant authorization, source approval, rate limits, suppression, score/eligibility, AI policy, outreach, or backend safety settings. Those are server-enforced contracts.
+
+## Security model
+
+- The backend is the authority for authentication, authorization, tenant (`organization_id`) isolation, validation, audit records, suppression, pipeline transitions, job actions, and all safety gates.
+- The desktop is an untrusted presentation client. Treat all responses, local files, clipboard content, and rendered prospect text as untrusted; preserve the web client's escaping and avoid adding privileged native bridges.
+- The shell should expose only navigation and storage APIs required to render the web bundle. Disable arbitrary navigation, popups, downloads, file/system protocol access, script injection, and unrestricted native IPC unless separately reviewed.
+- Do not grant the web content filesystem, process, registry, shell, camera, microphone, or credential-manager access by default. CSV preview is browser-local and is not an import or upload authority unless the server workflow explicitly confirms it.
+- Keep the no-send boundary: no SMTP probing, provider calls, campaign creation, autonomous follow-up, or direct fetching of arbitrary target URLs from the desktop. A high score, AI suggestion, extracted contact, or approval does not authorize outreach.
+- Production traffic must use HTTPS with certificate validation. Do not add a “trust all certificates” switch. Pinning, if considered, needs an operational rotation plan and is not currently required by this source contract.
+
+## Windows build and release prerequisites
+
+## Electron development and Windows packaging
+
+Install Node.js 20+ and npm on Windows, then run these exact commands from PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+cd <clone>\apps\desktop
+npm install
+npm run verify
+```
+
+Start the API in another PowerShell window, then start Electron in development mode:
+
+```powershell
+cd <clone>\apps\api
+python app\main.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 --db $env:TEMP\prospects.db
+
+# second window
+cd <clone>\apps\desktop
+npm run dev
+```
+
+`npm run dev` supplies the public runtime backend URL `http://127.0.0.1:8000`. For another environment, use `$env:PROSPECT_API_BASE="https://api.example.com"; npm start` (or the Connection settings menu). URLs are validated and credential/query/fragment-bearing values are rejected.
+
+Build both x64 Windows artifacts only on Windows:
+
+```powershell
+cd <clone>\apps\desktop
+npm install
+npm run verify
+npm run build:win
+```
+
+The NSIS installer and portable executable are written to `apps\desktop\release\`. This Linux checkout has not built, and does not claim to have built, an `.exe`.
+
+## Auto-update policy
+
+Auto-update is intentionally disabled until release signing, certificate custody, artifact publication, update-channel authorization, and rollback procedures are configured. There is no updater integration or publish provider in this package; do not add `electron-updater` or an update channel as part of a local build.
+
+## API/CORS requirements
+
+The renderer uses the existing web UI and sends credentialed requests to the configured API. Configure the API's `CORS_ORIGINS` for the exact origin emitted by the selected Electron loading strategy, with `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true`; never use `*` with credentials. Preserve server-side session, tenant authorization, CSRF, suppression, and outreach-disabled controls. CORS is not an authorization boundary. Verify preflight and authenticated login against staging before distribution.
+
+A native desktop build packages `apps/web` unchanged via electron-builder `extraResources`; it does not modify backend files or create a second UI implementation.
+
+A native release is blocked until the shell is selected and its toolchain is pinned. The release builder must provide:
+
+- Supported Windows 10/11 x64 baseline, a clean build VM, and a documented x64/arm64 decision.
+- Pinned Node.js LTS and package-lock (if the selected shell uses Node), plus the selected shell's exact SDK/toolchain and WebView2 runtime policy.
+- Reproducible web asset build, manifest/version update, route/asset smoke check, JSON parse, JavaScript syntax check, and a clean `git diff --check`.
+- Clean-room install/run test with the real signed artifact, login/session expiry/logout checks, offline/API-unavailable behavior, HTTPS certificate failure behavior, and DPI/scaling/high-contrast/basic keyboard navigation checks.
+- Release notes containing API compatibility, minimum Windows version, architecture, config origin, known limitations, and rollback/revocation instructions.
+- Artifact hashes and the exact source commit recorded beside the installer/MSIX/portable artifact. Retain the previous known-good artifact for rollback.
+
+The API and web deployment still require their existing Docker/Compose, TLS, secret, backup, monitoring, and operational prerequisites. Building a Windows client does not deploy or upgrade the remote backend.
+
+## Code signing and distribution
+
+Every distributed `.exe`, `.msi`, MSIX package, and updater must be Authenticode-signed with an organization-controlled code-signing certificate. Prefer an EV/managed key or a hardware-backed/CI signing service; never commit a private key or export it into a developer workspace. Verify the signature and timestamp on a clean Windows host (for example with `Get-AuthenticodeSignature`) before publication. Sign each embedded executable and installer payload as required by the selected packaging technology, publish SHA-256 checksums, and retain signing/audit records. Unsigned developer builds must be clearly labeled and must never use the production API origin by default.
+
+Certificate rotation, revocation, compromised-builder response, SmartScreen reputation, update-channel authorization, and artifact rollback require an owner and runbook before release. Signing proves publisher integrity; it does not make the client trusted with tenant data or make a backend response authoritative.
+
+## Firewall and CORS
+
+The desktop makes outbound HTTPS connections to the configured API; it does not listen for inbound connections and should not require an inbound Windows Firewall rule. If a chosen shell starts a local callback/update server, bind it to loopback, use an ephemeral port, authenticate the callback, and document the narrowly scoped firewall exception. Never open the API or a development server to `0.0.0.0` for desktop distribution.
+
+For a remote API origin, configure `CORS_ORIGINS` to the exact desktop origin emitted by the selected shell/runtime and keep `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true`. Do not use `*` with credentialed requests. The API currently returns the configured `CORS_ORIGINS` value and allows `Content-Type`; verify the selected WebView's origin and preflight behavior in a staging environment. If the shell loads `file://` or a custom `app://` origin, do not guess a CORS value: choose a reviewed HTTPS/custom-origin strategy or package the UI behind the same approved origin, because cookie and CORS behavior differs by WebView host.
+
+CORS is not authentication or tenant isolation. The backend must continue to enforce sessions and organization scope even when a request appears to come from the desktop.
+
+## Limitations and support boundary
+
+- The native Electron Windows shell and packaging configuration are checked in, but no signed Windows installer or portable `.exe` is included in this source checkout.
+- The desktop has the web client's pilot limitations: SQLite/in-process jobs are not durable or horizontally scalable; SSE, live external discovery, production DNS/availability, production egress isolation, and production outreach delivery are not implemented.
+- The current password fallback is development-grade; production still requires Argon2id, MFA, CSRF protection, rate limiting, durable audit/retention, and tested backup/restore procedures.
+- Network loss, API version skew, expired sessions, proxy policy, certificate interception, sleep/resume, and WebView runtime updates can affect the client. The desktop cannot repair backend data or bypass a blocked safety gate.
+- Local UI assets may be cached by the selected shell; bump `assetVersion` and require a restart/refresh after a UI release. There is no service-worker migration or offline write queue.
+- CSV remains preview-only, and no desktop feature changes the no-send default. See `apps/web/README.md`, `apps/api/README.md`, `docs/SECURITY.md`, and `docs/RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md` for the authoritative web/API safety and operations contracts.

 # Portable deployment and recovery runbook (Phase 15)
 
+## Initial administrator is mandatory
+
+Before the **first** API startup, you must choose one administrator-provisioning method. The simplest method is to set both values in the untracked `.env` file:
+
+```dotenv
+BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com
+BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<strong-temporary-password>
+```
+
+These are not application defaults; they are one-time provisioning inputs. If both values are blank, the API starts without creating an administrator and login cannot succeed. Existing users are never overwritten by changing these values later.
+
+After the first successful login, remove both values from `.env`, restart the API, and rotate the administrator password through the supported account-management process. Never commit or share the password.
+
 ## Configuration
 
 Copy `.env.example` to an untracked deployment environment file. Production requires a secret-manager supplied `SESSION_SECRET` of at least 32 characters and refuses `AUTOMATED_OUTREACH_ENABLED=true`. Keep bootstrap credentials one-time only; remove and rotate them after provisioning. Never place secrets in images, Compose YAML, logs, backups, or public web roots.
 
+For optional native Nous Portal Chat Completions tool-calling discovery, set these
+server-side variables:
+
+```dotenv
+AI_RESEARCH_PROVIDER=nous_portal
+NOUS_API_KEY=<Nous Portal API key>
+NOUS_MODEL=Hermes-4-405B
+NOUS_BASE_URL=https://inference-api.nousresearch.com/v1
+NOUS_ALLOWED_HOSTS=inference-api.nousresearch.com
+FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=<Firecrawl API key>
+FIRECRAWL_BASE_URL=https://api.firecrawl.dev/v1
+FIRECRAWL_ALLOWED_HOSTS=api.firecrawl.dev
+```
+
+The adapter calls Nous at `/chat/completions` with strict `web_search` and
+`scrape_website` function tools. Tool calls are executed only against the
+allowlisted Firecrawl-compatible API, capped at 4 calls and 16 KiB per tool
+result. Prompt-injection-shaped criteria are rejected and tool/page content is
+untrusted data. The final model response is parsed only as structured JSON
+HTTPS targets; the existing crawler performs SSRF validation and persists
+fetched-page evidence. Missing either key, unavailable providers, unsafe base
+URLs, malformed tool calls, oversized responses, and exhausted budgets fail
+closed. Status metadata never includes secrets.
+
+The prior OpenAI Responses and generic provider variables remain supported only
+as compatibility adapters.
+
 Validate before startup:
 
 ```sh
