docs(plan): SP28 follow-up notes — Batch.kind fix + one-time backfill

Hotfix for the SP28 merge. The SP28 helpers (batch_envelope_index +
the two _batch_lookup closures in handle_ta1 / api.py) all filtered
Batch.kind == '837', but prod Batch rows are persisted with kind='837p'
(see api.py:443). Result on prod: claim_acks row count = 0, D10 Pass 1
(ST02 via batch.envelope.control_number) never fired, and the user's
specific claim t991102989o1c120d would not surface its 143 999 acks.

Fix: 4 production sites swapped to '837p'; 3 test files updated to
match the prod value. 25 SP28 tests + 20 handler tests pass post-fix.
Expected prod effect after re-deploy: 727 of 1,398 acks auto-link via
batch.envelope.control_number, plus the user's claim surfaces in
ClaimDrawer for /api/claims/t991102989o1c120d/acks.

Follow-up plan: backfill the existing 1,398 acks via a one-time script
that runs the SP28 helpers against the current DB (D10 join now
resolves the 991102989 ST02 from existing batches).

-Cyclone is a self-hosted X12 EDI claims-management suite for a single billing office (Colorado Medicaid currently). It parses 837P professional claims and 835 ERA remittances (X12 005010X222A1 / 005010X221A1) and also handles 999, TA1, 270, 271, and 277CA.

+       via ``CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD=...`` without touching the Keychain
+       or a file mount. Trailing/leading whitespace (including the

+    4. ``None`` — caller decides what to do (``SftpClient._connect``

+
+Anomaly recap (see ``docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-29-cyclone-...
+-design.md`` if it lands later):
+
+* The Remittances page's "Total paid" + "Adjustments" KPI tiles
+  previously summed ``items.reduce(...)`` over the *current page* (25
+  rows) plus whatever live-tail events had arrived in the session.
+* For an empty-looking page with most-paid=0 rows, the UI rendered
+  e.g. ``$16,934`` paid / ``$147`` adjustments — neither the page
+  total ($1,334 / $143) nor the true DB total ($227,181 / $13,792).
+  Same silent-incompleteness pattern the count bug retired in
+  ``d81b6ed``: the page looked complete but the numbers were wrong.
+
+The fix adds a server-aggregated summary endpoint — ``count + paid
++ adjustments`` summed over the full persisted row set with the same
+filter pipeline as ``/api/remittances``. ``Remittances.tsx`` swaps
+``items.reduce(...)`` for the new hook so the tiles reflect the true
+DB population regardless of dataset size.

+"""Regression tests for SP27 Task 13b: ``total`` on the list endpoints
+must reflect the full DB population, not a 100-row sample.
+
+Before the fix, both ``/api/claims`` and ``/api/remittances`` computed
+``total`` via::
+
+    total = len(list(store.iter_<X>(**filters)))
+
+``iter_<X>`` defaults to ``limit=100``, so the returned list was capped
+at 100 regardless of how many rows the DB actually held. The frontend
+then rendered ``data.total`` as the "Remits" / "Claims" KPI tile —
+silently reporting 100 when the real count was 835 (or 60,000+). The
+page also showed 100 rows, looked complete, and the bug stayed hidden.
+
+The fix added ``count_claims`` and ``count_remittances`` to the store,
+both of which reuse the iter's filter pipeline with an
+effectively-unbounded limit so the count reflects the true population.
+
+These tests cover:
+
+* Module-level: ``count_*`` returns the right cardinality with each
+  filter dimension (none, status, payer substring, date range,
+  batch_id).
+* Module-level: ``count_* > 100`` when the DB has more than 100 rows
+  (the original symptom).
+* HTTP: ``/api/claims?limit=25`` reports ``total`` matching the full
+  DB count, not the page size.
+* HTTP: ``/api/remittances`` ditto.

New code that needs an audit row must decide which one to write to. | SP11 |

+# Cyclone Operator Runbook
+
+Procedures for running Cyclone in production. The end-user README
+covers dev setup; this doc is for an operator bringing up SFTP polling
+on a fresh host.
+
+## SP25 — Enable SFTP Polling for Real Gainwell MFT
+
+The inbound MFT polling scheduler ships in SP16 and is wired to real
+paramiko SFTP in SP13. To turn it on for `mft.gainwelltechnologies.com`:
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.11+ with the `cyclone` package installed (`pip install -e .[dev,sftp]`).
+- The macOS `keyring` library is optional. On a Linux server or Docker
+  container, the MFT password is supplied via a plain env var (no
+  Keychain dependency).
+- Outbound TCP/22 to `mft.gainwelltechnologies.com`.
+
+### Env vars
+
+| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD` | Yes (real MFT only) | unset | The MFT password. Stripped of whitespace; empty values are treated as unset. |
+| `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` | No | unset | Path to a file containing the MFT password. Highest-priority lookup in `secrets.get_secret()`. Standard Docker-secrets pattern. See "Docker secrets variant" below. |
+| `CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_AUTOSTART` | No | unset (falsy) | When `1`/`true`/`yes`, the scheduler starts polling on API launch. |
+| `CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_POLL_SECONDS` | No | `60` | Seconds between poll cycles. The Gainwell MFT server doesn't push — we pull. |
+
+### First-time setup
+
+1. **Set the password env var.** On the server that runs Cyclone:
+
+   ```bash
+   export CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD='the-actual-password'
+   ```
+
+   For systemd / Docker, persist this in the service file or
+   `docker-compose.yml` (use a `_FILE` companion or a `secrets:`
+   block; see your platform's docs).
+
+2. **Confirm the clearhouse SFTP block is configured.** `GET /api/clearhouse` should return a row. If not, run the lifespan once to seed it (any API launch will do).
+
+3. **Flip stub → false and point at real MFT.** Authenticated as an admin:
+
+   ```bash
+   # GET the current row, modify the sftp_block, PATCH it back.
+   # The endpoint requires a full Clearhouse body, so always
+   # round-trip through GET to get the right updated_at + filename_block.
+   curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/clearhouse -b cookies.txt > /tmp/ch.json
+   # Edit /tmp/ch.json — set sftp_block.stub to false and adjust host/port/paths/auth.
+   # The minimum change for real-MFT mode is:
+   #   jq '.sftp_block.stub = false
+   #       | .sftp_block.host = "mft.gainwelltechnologies.com"
+   #       | .sftp_block.auth = {"password_keychain_account": "sftp.gainwell.password"}' \
+   #     /tmp/ch.json > /tmp/ch-patched.json
+   curl -X PATCH http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/clearhouse \
+     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+     -b cookies.txt \
+     --data @/tmp/ch-patched.json
+   ```
+
+   The endpoint hot-reloads the scheduler. No API restart required.
+
+4. **Start polling.** Either:
+
+   - Set `CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_AUTOSTART=true` and restart the API.
+   - Or trigger manually:
+
+     ```bash
+     curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/scheduler/start -b cookies.txt
+     ```
+
+### Verification
+
+```bash
+# Is the loop running?
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/scheduler/status -b cookies.txt
+
+# Force one poll cycle right now:
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/scheduler/tick -b cookies.txt
+
+# What files has the scheduler seen?
+curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/scheduler/processed-files?limit=20' -b cookies.txt
+
+# Only the errors?
+curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/admin/scheduler/processed-files?status=error' -b cookies.txt
+```
+
+A successful first poll shows rows in `processed-files` with
+`status=ok` and a non-zero `claim_count` for 835/277CA files.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| `status=error` rows with `AuthenticationException` | Wrong password in `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD` | Re-export with the correct value, then PATCH /api/clearhouse or restart. |
+| `status=error` rows with `IOError: [Errno 111] Connection refused` | Outbound TCP/22 blocked, or wrong host/port | Check the firewall; confirm `host` in `GET /api/clearhouse`. |
+| Zero rows in `processed-files` after a tick | Inbound MFT dir is empty (HPE hasn't pushed yet) — not an error | Wait. Trigger `tick` again later. |
+| `RuntimeError: SFTP: Keychain entry ... missing or stub` | `get_secret()` fell through to Keychain (Linux + missing env var) | Set `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD`. |
+| `RuntimeError: SftpBlock.auth must contain ...` | PATCH set `stub=false` without an `auth` block | PATCH again with a complete `auth` dict. |
+| Scheduler never starts (`running: false`) | `CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_AUTOSTART` not set, no manual `start` call | Either set autostart or `POST /api/admin/scheduler/start`. |
+
+### macOS dev box variant
+
+If you prefer the Keychain over env vars on macOS:
+
+```bash
+security add-generic-password -s cyclone -a sftp.gainwell.password -w '<password>'
+security find-generic-password -s cyclone -a sftp.gainwell.password -w   # verify
+```
+
+The env var is the highest-priority lookup; the Keychain is the
+fallback. Setting both means the env var wins. To force the Keychain,
+unset the env var for that shell.
+
+### Docker secrets variant (SP26)
+
+For the SP23 Docker stack, mount the MFT password as a file rather
+than embedding it in `docker-compose.yml`. The compose file already
+declares the `cyclone_sftp_password` secret and wires
+`CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE: "/run/secrets/cyclone_sftp_password"`
+on the backend service. Create the file once on the host:
+
+```bash
+sudo install -m 0600 -o root -g root /dev/null /etc/cyclone/secrets/sftp_password
+echo -n 'the-actual-password' | sudo tee /etc/cyclone/secrets/sftp_password > /dev/null
+sudo chmod 0600 /etc/cyclone/secrets/sftp_password
+```
+
+Then `docker compose up -d`. The backend's `secrets.get_secret()` will
+read the file on the next scheduler tick — no env-var export, no
+`docker-compose.yml` edit with the password in it. The file takes
+precedence over the plain `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD` env var; setting
+both means the file wins.
+
+If the mounted file is missing or unreadable (typo in path, container
+started without the secret mount), the scheduler surfaces a
+`RuntimeError` at the next tick that names the env var and the
+missing path — this is intentional, so a silent fall-through doesn't
+mask a real misconfiguration.

+# SFTP Password File Companion Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Make `secrets.get_secret("sftp.gainwell.password")` resolve from a Docker-mounted secret file at `/run/secrets/cyclone_sftp_password` (via the `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` env var) so the SP23 Docker stack can run real-MFT polling without any secret values in `docker-compose.yml`. Wire the new env var through the compose file and document it in the runbook.
+
+**Architecture:** Extend `cyclone.secrets.get_secret()` with a fourth tier at the top of the lookup chain — `<env_name>_FILE` env var pointing at a file on disk. Mirror the `_read_secret` pattern in `auth/bootstrap.py` (file wins over plain env var, `OSError` on missing file surfaces as `RuntimeError`). Add a `cyclone_sftp_password` secret block to `docker-compose.yml` and a `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` env var on the backend service. Document the new variable and a Docker-secrets variant in `docs/RUNBOOK.md`. Extend the existing compose-shape test in `test_docker.py` to require the new secret + env var. No frontend change, no API change, no migration, no scheduler change.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python 3.11+, FastAPI, Pydantic v2, pytest, pyyaml, docker compose. Backend-only — no frontend or build changes.
+
+**Branch:** `sp26-sftp-password-file-companion`
+
+**Spec:** [`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-24-cyclone-sftp-password-file-companion-design.md`](../specs/2026-06-24-cyclone-sftp-password-file-companion-design.md)

+| `backend/tests/test_secrets_file.py` | Create | 6 cases covering `_FILE` resolution, file-wins-over-env, missing-file → `RuntimeError`, trailing-newline stripping, full Gainwell chain, regression guard for absent `_FILE` falling through. |
+| `docker-compose.yml` | Modify | Add `cyclone_sftp_password` to top-level `secrets:`; add to backend `secrets:` list; add `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` env var on backend. |
+| `docs/RUNBOOK.md` | Modify | Add `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` row to env-vars table; add "Docker secrets variant" subsection under "First-time setup". |
+| `backend/tests/test_docker.py` | Modify | Add 2 assertions to the existing compose-shape test: (1) `cyclone_sftp_password` exists in the top-level `secrets:` block; (2) `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` is set on the backend service. |

+> **Note on test names:** The first six test cases use a non-mapped secret name (`cyclone.test.file.password` — not in `_ENV_NAME_FOR`). The `_ENV_NAME_FOR` table maps `sftp.gainwell.password` to `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD` only. For the non-mapped name, `get_secret()` reads `os.environ.get("cyclone.test.file.password")` directly (both with and without the `_FILE` suffix). The Gainwell chain test (`test_gainwell_file_env_var_full_chain`) exercises the mapped path end-to-end. This is intentional: the non-mapped cases verify the lookup mechanism works for any secret that has the right env vars set, and the mapped case verifies the Gainwell operator path.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_secrets_file.py -v`
+Expected: All 7 tests FAIL — the current `get_secret()` does not check `<env_name>_FILE`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the `_FILE` tier**
+
+Modify `backend/src/cyclone/secrets.py`. Update the module docstring (replace the existing "SP25" block) and add the `_FILE` tier to `get_secret`:
+
+```python
+"""macOS Keychain secret accessor for Cyclone.
+
+SP9. The SFTP credentials for Gainwell's MFT are stored in the macOS
+Keychain under service ``cyclone`` and a username that acts as the
+secret name (e.g. ``sftp.gainwell.password``). This module fetches
+them by name.
+
+Fallback: when the ``keyring`` library is missing (Linux dev box) or
+the entry doesn't exist, returns ``None`` (caller decides what to do).
+A stub secret ``<stub-secret>`` is provided for the SP9 stub flow.
+
+Setup (one-time, by the operator):
+    security add-generic-password -s cyclone -a sftp.gainwell.password -w '<password>'
+
+Verification:
+    security find-generic-password -s cyclone -a sftp.gainwell.password -w
+
+SP25 + SP26: the lookup now resolves the secret in four tiers, in
+this order:
+
+    1. ``<env_name>_FILE`` env var set — highest priority. Reads the
+       file at that path, strips whitespace, returns the contents.
+       This is the standard Docker-secrets pattern: mount a file at
+       ``/run/secrets/<name>`` and point the env var at it. An
+       operator who explicitly sets ``_FILE`` is making a positive
+       statement about where the secret lives, so a missing file
+       surfaces as a ``RuntimeError`` rather than silently falling
+       through. Empty string is treated as unset.
+    2. Plain env var named exactly ``<env_name>`` — second priority.
+       Lets a Linux server or Docker container pass the MFT password
+       via ``CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD=...`` without touching the Keychain
+       or a file mount. Trailing/leading whitespace (including the
+       ``\\n`` that .env files often leave at EOF) is stripped; an
+       empty value is treated as absent.
+    3. macOS Keychain via ``keyring`` — third priority. Kept as a
+       fallback so a macOS workstation that prefers
+       ``security add-generic-password`` works without env-var exports.
+    4. ``None`` — caller decides what to do (``SftpClient._connect``
+       raises a precise ``RuntimeError`` on real-mode auth).

+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
+
+Run: `cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_secrets_file.py -v`
+Expected: All 7 tests PASS.
+
+Also re-run the SP25 tests to confirm no regression:
+
+Run: `cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_secrets_envvar.py tests/test_secrets.py -v`
+Expected: All 8 + 3 = 11 tests PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add backend/src/cyclone/secrets.py backend/tests/test_secrets_file.py
+git commit -m "feat(sp26): secrets.get_secret() _FILE-tier lookup for Docker secrets"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Wire `cyclone_sftp_password` into `docker-compose.yml`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `docker-compose.yml`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Edit the backend service env block**
+
+Open `docker-compose.yml`. Find the backend service's `environment:` block. After the `CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD_FILE: "/run/secrets/cyclone_admin_password"` line, add:
+
+```yaml
+      # SP26 — SFTP password via Docker secret (matches the admin-creds pattern).
+      CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE: "/run/secrets/cyclone_sftp_password"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Edit the backend service secrets list**
+
+In the same file, find the backend service's `secrets:` list (the list that currently includes `- cyclone_db_key`, `- cyclone_admin_username`, `- cyclone_admin_password`). Add `- cyclone_sftp_password` as a new entry.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the top-level secret entry**
+
+Find the top-level `secrets:` block (currently contains `cyclone_db_key`, `cyclone_admin_username`, `cyclone_admin_password`). Add:
+
+```yaml
+  cyclone_sftp_password:
+    file: /etc/cyclone/secrets/sftp_password
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify the file parses**
+
+Run: `cd /home/tyler/dev/cyclone && python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('docker-compose.yml'))"`
+Expected: No output (file parses cleanly).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add docker-compose.yml
+git commit -m "feat(sp26): wire cyclone_sftp_password secret into docker-compose.yml"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Document `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` in `docs/RUNBOOK.md`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `docs/RUNBOOK.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the new row to the env-vars table**
+
+Open `docs/RUNBOOK.md`. Find the "Env vars" subsection under "First-time setup" (the table with `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD`, `CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_AUTOSTART`, `CYCLONE_SCHEDULER_POLL_SECONDS`). Add a row for `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE`:
+
+```markdown
+| `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` | No | unset | Path to a file containing the MFT password. Highest-priority lookup in `secrets.get_secret()`. Standard Docker-secrets pattern. See "Docker secrets variant" below. |
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the Docker secrets variant subsection**
+
+Find the "macOS dev box variant" subsection at the bottom of the runbook. Add a new subsection before it (or after it, your preference — before keeps operator-relevant variants grouped together):
+
+```markdown
+### Docker secrets variant (SP26)
+
+For the SP23 Docker stack, mount the MFT password as a file rather
+than embedding it in `docker-compose.yml`. The compose file already
+declares the `cyclone_sftp_password` secret and wires
+`CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE: "/run/secrets/cyclone_sftp_password"`
+on the backend service. Create the file once on the host:
+
+```bash
+sudo install -m 0600 -o root -g root /dev/null /etc/cyclone/secrets/sftp_password
+sudo chmod 0600 /etc/cyclone/secrets/sftp_password
+echo -n 'the-actual-password' | sudo tee /etc/cyclone/secrets/sftp_password > /dev/null
+```
+
+Then `docker compose up -d`. The backend's `secrets.get_secret()` will
+read the file on the next scheduler tick — no env-var export, no
+`docker-compose.yml` edit with the password in it. The file takes
+precedence over the plain `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD` env var; setting
+both means the file wins.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the file is well-formed markdown**
+
+Run: `cd /home/tyler/dev/cyclone && python -c "from pathlib import Path; Path('docs/RUNBOOK.md').read_text(); print('OK')"`
+Expected: Prints `OK`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add docs/RUNBOOK.md
+git commit -m "docs(sp26): RUNBOOK — CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE row + Docker variant"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Extend `test_docker.py` to assert the new compose shape
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `backend/tests/test_docker.py`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Find an existing compose-shape test**
+
+Open `backend/tests/test_docker.py` and look for the test that asserts the top-level `secrets:` block contains the existing `cyclone_db_key` / `cyclone_admin_username` / `cyclone_admin_password` entries. There should be a similar test that asserts the backend service's environment has `CYCLONE_ADMIN_USERNAME_FILE` / `CYCLONE_ADMIN_PASSWORD_FILE`. Use those as templates for the two new assertions.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the secret-block assertion**
+
+In the test that walks `compose_data["secrets"]`, add:
+
+```python
+    assert "cyclone_sftp_password" in compose_data["secrets"]
+    assert compose_data["secrets"]["cyclone_sftp_password"]["file"] == "/etc/cyclone/secrets/sftp_password"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the env-var assertion**
+
+In the test that walks the backend service's `environment` block, add:
+
+```python
+    assert compose_data["services"]["backend"]["environment"].get(
+        "CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE"
+    ) == "/run/secrets/cyclone_sftp_password"
+```
+
+Also add an assertion that the backend's `secrets:` list references `cyclone_sftp_password`:
+
+```python
+    backend_secrets = compose_data["services"]["backend"]["secrets"]
+    assert any(
+        s == "cyclone_sftp_password" or s.get("source") == "cyclone_sftp_password"
+        for s in backend_secrets
+    )
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the docker tests**
+
+Run: `cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_docker.py -v`
+Expected: All tests PASS (including the new assertions). If `DOCKER_TESTS=1` is set, the compose-up test is skipped by default — the new assertions run regardless.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add backend/tests/test_docker.py
+git commit -m "test(sp26): assert CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE + cyclone_sftp_password in compose"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Run the full backend test suite
+
+**Files:** none (verification only)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Run the full backend suite**
+
+Run: `cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest -q`
+Expected: All tests PASS. Test count = previous count + 7 (new `test_secrets_file.py` cases) + however many new assertions are in `test_docker.py` (counted as part of the existing tests, not as new tests).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the secrets-related tests in isolation one more time**
+
+Run: `cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_secrets.py tests/test_secrets_envvar.py tests/test_secrets_file.py tests/test_docker.py -v`
+Expected: All tests PASS. No regression in SP25's env-var behavior.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit (nothing to commit; this is a verification step)**
+
+If `git status` is clean, skip. Otherwise, commit any lingering fixups with a clear message.
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: Merge SP26 into main
+
+**Files:** none (git workflow)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Push the branch**
+
+Run: `git push -u origin sp26-sftp-password-file-companion`
+Expected: Branch pushed. If the repo doesn't have a remote, skip this step.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Merge into main with a single atomic commit**
+
+From the SP-N flow (per `.superpowers/skills/cyclone-spec/SKILL.md`):
+
+```bash
+git checkout main
+git merge --no-ff sp26-sftp-password-file-companion -m "merge: SP26 SFTP Password File Companion into main"
+```
+
+No squash, no rebase. The merge commit is the SP-N audit trail.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the merge landed cleanly**
+
+Run: `git log --oneline -5`
+Expected: Top commit is the merge commit with the message above. Behind it are the four `feat(sp26):` / `docs(sp26):` / `test(sp26):` commits and the `docs(spec):` commit.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Delete the branch**
+
+```bash
+git branch -d sp26-sftp-password-file-companion
+git push origin --delete sp26-sftp-password-file-companion  # if remote exists
+```
+

+## Self-Review Checklist
+
+- [x] **Spec coverage:** §1 (scope) → Tasks 1–4; §3.1 (`_FILE` tier placement) → Task 1; §3.2 (`_FILE` name derivation) → Task 1 (the `_env_var_for` + `+ "_FILE"` pattern); §3.4 (compose shape) → Task 2; §3.5 (no new endpoints/migrations) → verified, no task needed; §6 (env vars table) → Task 3; §8 testing plan → Tasks 1 and 4.
+- [x] **Placeholder scan:** No TBD/TODO. Step 1 of Task 1 contains a small inline correction note about a leftover placeholder from drafting — kept intentionally to flag a copy-paste hazard. Every code block is complete.
+- [x] **Type consistency:** `_env_var_for(name) -> str` defined in Task 1 step 3 and used consistently. `get_secret(name) -> Optional[str]` unchanged. `_ENV_NAME_FOR: dict[str, str]` unchanged.
+- [x] **Empty `_FILE` string:** Spec §3.1 didn't explicitly address this; I resolved it inline in Task 1 by treating empty string as unset (matches the existing SP25 rule for plain env vars). Test `test_file_env_var_empty_string_treated_as_unset` covers it.

+# Ack↔Claim Auto-Link Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use
+> superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or
+> superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps
+> use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Persist a durable link row (`claim_acks`) for every inbound 999 / 277CA / TA1 acknowledgment at parse time, so the operator can answer "which claims does this ack acknowledge?" and "which acks does this claim have?" without manual correlation, and surface those links in `ClaimDrawer` + `AckDrawer` + a new Inbox orphan lane.
+
+**Architecture:** A new `claim_acks` join table (one row per AK2 set-response for 999, per ClaimStatus for 277CA, per TA1 envelope) is the durable record. Three pure helpers (`apply_999_acceptances`, `apply_277ca_acks`, `apply_ta1_envelope_link`) run inside the existing handler transactions alongside the existing rejection logic. The orchestrator (`apply_claim_ack_links`) is called from the same point in `handle_999.handle` / the 277CA handler / the TA1 handler. The auto-linker's per-AK2 join uses a two-pass lookup (D10 in the spec): primary is `Batch.envelope.control_number (== 837 ST02) → claims in batch via batch_id`; fallback is `Claim.patient_control_number`. A new `claim_ack_written` pubsub event drives two new stream endpoints (`/api/claims/{id}/acks/stream`, `/api/acks/{kind}/{id}/claims/stream`) so both drawers update in real time. Frontend mirrors the SP25 acks/ta1_acks live-tail extension pattern (`useTailStore` slice + `useTailStream` + `useMergedTail`) plus a manual-match dropdown for the orphan case.
+
+**Critical-path correction (added 2026-07-02):** the original plan's `_lookup` closure queried `Claim.patient_control_number == set_control_number`. That join is empirically 0-effective on this codebase (1,398 acks, 0 matched) because Gainwell's 999 echoes the 837's `ST02` not its `CLM01`. The corrected plan uses `Batch.envelope.control_number` (which holds the 837's `ST02`) as the primary join key, with `Claim.patient_control_number` as a fallback for the rare case where the sender filled `CLM01 == ST02`. The corrected join recovers 727 / 1,398 acks automatically (52%); the remaining 671 have ST02=`0001` (no matching 837 batch) and remain real orphans surfaced by the Inbox ack-orphans lane.

+## Task 0: Branch + base
+
+- [ ] **Step 0.1: Create the SP28 branch from main.**
+  ```bash
+  git checkout main
+  git pull --ff-only
+  git checkout -b sp28-ack-claim-auto-link
+  ```
+  Verify with `git status` (clean working tree, on `sp28-ack-claim-auto-link`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 0.2: Confirm the editable install + worktree path layout matches SP25.**
+  Per `CLAUDE.md`, the editable install points at the main checkout, so when running tests from a worktree we prefix with `PYTHONPATH=/home/tyler/dev/cyclone/.worktrees/sp28-ack-claim-auto-link/backend/src`. Verify with:
+  ```bash
+  cd /home/tyler/dev/cyclone && git worktree add .worktrees/sp28-ack-claim-auto-link -b sp28-ack-claim-auto-link main
+  cd .worktrees/sp28-ack-claim-auto-link && ls backend/src/cyclone/api.py
+  ```
+  The second command should print the file path; if it errors, re-run from the repo root.

+  Mirror the shape of `0011_processed_inbound_files.sql` (CREATE TABLE + CREATE INDEX statements). Schema (from spec §3.1):
+
+  ```sql
+  CREATE TABLE claim_acks (
+      id                      INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+      claim_id                TEXT REFERENCES claims(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+      batch_id                TEXT REFERENCES batches(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+      ack_id                  INTEGER NOT NULL,
+      ack_kind                TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (ack_kind IN ('999', '277ca', 'ta1')),
+      ak2_index               INTEGER,
+      set_control_number      TEXT,
+      set_accept_reject_code  TEXT,
+      linked_at               DATETIME NOT NULL,
+      linked_by               TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (linked_by IN ('auto', 'manual')),
+      CHECK ((claim_id IS NOT NULL) OR (batch_id IS NOT NULL))
+  );
+
+  CREATE INDEX ix_claim_acks_claim_id ON claim_acks(claim_id);
+  CREATE INDEX ix_claim_acks_batch_id ON claim_acks(batch_id);
+  CREATE INDEX ix_claim_acks_ack ON claim_acks(ack_kind, ack_id);
+
+  -- Dedup: an auto-link of (claim, 999, ak2_index=3) is idempotent on re-ingest.
+  CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ux_claim_acks_dedup
+      ON claim_acks(claim_id, ack_kind, ack_id, ak2_index)
+      WHERE claim_id IS NOT NULL AND ak2_index IS NOT NULL;
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 1.2: Add `ClaimAck` ORM model to `backend/src/cyclone/db.py`.**
+
+  Insert after the `Two77caAck` class (~line 645). Mirror the `CasAdjustment` shape (typed columns, no `relationship(back_populates=...)`). Columns + indexes match the migration. Add a docstring that references spec §3.2.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1.3: Update `backend/tests/conftest.py:_reset_for_tests()` to drop `ClaimAck` too.**
+
+  Add `ClaimAck` to the list of tables truncated by the autouse fixture. Mirrors the existing entries for `CasAdjustment` / `LineReconciliation`. The order matters: `claim_acks` must be truncated BEFORE `claims` and `batches` because of the FK cascade direction.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1.4: Sanity test — `pytest backend/tests/test_apply_claim_ack_links.py` should FAIL with `ImportError` (module doesn't exist yet).**
+
+  Expected output: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cyclone.claim_acks'`. This is the red-green starting point for Phase 2.

+
+  Four public functions + one dataclass result. The module is pure (no DB session ownership — callers pass in the session, just like `apply_999_rejections`). The fourth function is the two-pass join helper from D10.

+  ```python

+
+- [ ] **Step 2.2: Implement `apply_999_acceptances`.**
+
+  Walk `parsed_999.set_responses` (each has `.set_control_number` + `.set_accept_reject.code`). For each:
+  1. Call `lookup_claims_for_ack_set_response(session, sr.set_control_number, batch_envelope_index=batch_envelope_index)` (D10 — two-pass join: ST02-via-batch primary, PCN fallback). If `[]` → `result.orphans.append(sr.set_control_number)`, continue.
+  2. For each matched `claim`:
+     - Check for existing `claim_acks` row with `(claim.id, '999', ack_id, ak2_index=i)`. If exists → skip silently (idempotent).
+     - Insert `ClaimAck(claim_id=claim.id, ack_id=ack_id, ack_kind='999', ak2_index=i, set_control_number=sr.set_control_number, set_accept_reject_code=sr.set_accept_reject.code, linked_at=utcnow(), linked_by='auto')`.
+     - Append `(claim.id, i)` to `result.linked`.
+  3. `session.flush()` at the end (do NOT commit — the caller owns the transaction).
+
+  Insert order matters: walk set_responses in order, capture `i = enumerate index`. One AK2 can produce **multiple** `claim_acks` rows when the 837 batch carried more than one claim under a shared ST02 (rare on this codebase but supported by the schema and the join).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2.3: Implement `apply_277ca_acks`.**
+
+  Walk `parsed_277ca.claim_statuses`. For each:
+  1. Get `pcn = status.payer_claim_control_number`. If empty/None → orphan with `status.status_code or ""`.
+  2. Call `lookup_claims_for_ack_set_response(session, pcn, batch_envelope_index=...)` (D10 — same two-pass join as 999, except the lookup key is `payer_claim_control_number` from the 277CA instead of `set_control_number` from the 999).
+  3. For each matched `claim`: check dedup `(claim.id, '277ca', ack_id, NULL)`, insert `ClaimAck`, append to result.
+  4. If `[]` from the join → orphan.
+  5. Flush.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2.4: Implement `apply_ta1_envelope_link`.**
+
+  Walk is trivial: there's exactly one TA1 envelope per parsed file. The complexity is in `batch_lookup`:
+  - Query `Batch` ordered by `parsed_at DESC` where the most recent batch's `sender_id` + `receiver_id` matches the TA1's `sender_id` + `receiver_id`.
+  - If found: insert `ClaimAck(claim_id=NULL, batch_id=batch.id, ack_id=ack_id, ack_kind='ta1', ak2_index=NULL, set_control_number=NULL, set_accept_reject_code=parsed_ta1.ta1.ack_code, linked_at=utcnow(), linked_by='auto')`.
+  - If not found: orphan with `parsed_ta1.ta1.interchange_control_number or sender_id`.
+
+  Helper signature for the test: `apply_ta1_envelope_link(session, parsed_ta1, ack_id=ack_id, batch_lookup=lambda s,r: session.query(Batch).filter_by(sender_id=s, receiver_id=r).order_by(Batch.parsed_at.desc()).first())`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2.5: Unit tests for the three helpers (without the DB layer yet).**
+
+  In `backend/tests/test_apply_claim_ack_links.py`:
+  ```python
+  def test_999_linker_walks_set_responses():
+      # Build a stub parsed_999 with 2 set_responses, mock claim_lookup
+      # that returns a claim for the first PCN and None for the second.

+  Run `pytest backend/tests/test_apply_claim_ack_links.py -v` — should now PASS.

+
+## Phase 3 — Store facade
+
+### Task 3: `store/claim_acks.py` + facade re-exports + pubsub events
+
+- [ ] **Step 3.1: Create `backend/src/cyclone/store/claim_acks.py` with the persistence layer.**
+
+  Mirrors `store/acks.py` shape: `add_claim_ack`, `list_acks_for_claim`, `list_claims_for_ack`, `find_ack_orphans`, `remove_claim_ack`, **plus** `batch_envelope_index()` (the in-memory map for D10's primary join). Each mutating method opens its own `db.SessionLocal()()`. The `add_claim_ack` publishes `claim_ack_written` via the existing `_safe_publish` pattern; `remove_claim_ack` publishes `claim_ack_dropped`.
+
+  The `batch_envelope_index()` method walks `Batch` once and returns a `dict[str, str]` mapping `envelope.control_number → batch.id`. Called once per ingest (current max 16 batches; trivial cost). Invalidated at module-import time (so a fresh ingest sees fresh state) AND explicitly after any `Batch` write that touches `raw_result_json`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3.2: Add `to_ui_claim_ack` serializer to `backend/src/cyclone/store/ui.py`.**
+
+  Mirrors `to_ui_ack` shape. Returns:
+  ```python
+  {
+      "id": row.id,
+      "claim_id": row.claim_id,
+      "batch_id": row.batch_id,
+      "ack_id": row.ack_id,
+      "ack_kind": row.ack_kind,
+      "ak2_index": row.ak2_index,
+      "set_control_number": row.set_control_number,
+      "set_accept_reject_code": row.set_accept_reject_code,
+      "linked_at": row.linked_at.isoformat().replace("+00:00", "Z"),
+      "linked_by": row.linked_by,
+      "claim_state": <queried Claim.state or "n/a">,
+  }
+  ```
+  The `claim_state` lookup is a single join: `SELECT state FROM claims WHERE id = :claim_id`. For TA1 rows with `claim_id IS NULL`, return `"n/a"`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3.3: Extend `CycloneStore` facade in `backend/src/cyclone/store/__init__.py`.**
+
+  Add six methods that delegate to `store.claim_acks`:
+  ```python
+  def add_claim_ack(self, *, claim_id, batch_id, ack_id, ack_kind, ak2_index, set_control_number, set_accept_reject_code, linked_by, event_bus=None): ...
+  def list_acks_for_claim(self, claim_id: str) -> list[db.ClaimAck]: ...
+  def list_claims_for_ack(self, kind: str, ack_id: int) -> list[db.ClaimAck]: ...
+  def find_ack_orphans(self, kind: str) -> list[dict]: ...
+  def remove_claim_ack(self, link_id: int, event_bus=None) -> None: ...
+  def batch_envelope_index(self) -> dict[str, str]: ...  # D10 — ST02 -> batch.id
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3.4: Verify facade wiring with a quick test.**
+
+  In `backend/tests/test_apply_claim_ack_links.py`, add:
+  ```python
+  def test_store_facade_exposes_claim_ack_methods():
+      assert hasattr(store, "add_claim_ack")
+      assert hasattr(store, "list_acks_for_claim")
+      assert hasattr(store, "list_claims_for_ack")
+      assert hasattr(store, "find_ack_orphans")
+      assert hasattr(store, "remove_claim_ack")
+  ```
+  Run `pytest backend/tests/test_apply_claim_ack_links.py::test_store_facade_exposes_claim_ack_methods -v` — should PASS.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Handler integration
+
+### Task 4: Wire `apply_claim_ack_links` into the three handlers
+
+- [ ] **Step 4.1: Extend `handle_999.handle` to call `apply_999_acceptances`.**
+
+  After the existing `apply_999_rejections` call (at `handlers/handle_999.py:79-92`), within the same `with db.SessionLocal()() as session:` block, call:
+  ```python
+  # Build the D10 batch envelope index once per ingest (cheap — ~16 batches today)
+  batch_index = cycl_store.batch_envelope_index()
+
+  def _pcn_lookup(pcn: str):
+      # Fallback path (D10 Pass 2). Only fires when the ST02 lookup misses.
+      return session.query(Claim).filter_by(patient_control_number=pcn).first()
+
+  link_result = apply_999_acceptances(
+      session, result, ack_id=row.id,
+      batch_envelope_index=batch_index,
+      pc_claim_lookup=_pcn_lookup,
+  )
+  ```
+  The `row.id` is the just-inserted `Ack` row from `cycl_store.add_ack(...)`. The `_pcn_lookup` closure is the Pass-2 fallback (rarely hits). The `link_result.orphans` should be logged but not surfaced as a rejection — orphan acks are normal (the 837 batch may not have been ingested yet, or the ST02 may be a `0001` placeholder from before the Gainwell MFT convention landed).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4.2: Same change for the 277CA handler.**
+
+  Locate `handlers/handle_277ca.py` (analogous shape to `handle_999.py`). After the existing `apply_277ca_rejections` call, add:
+  ```python
+  batch_index = cycl_store.batch_envelope_index()
+
+  def _pcn_lookup(pcn: str):
+      return session.query(Claim).filter_by(patient_control_number=pcn).first()
+
+  link_result = apply_277ca_acks(
+      session, parsed_277ca, ack_id=row.id,
+      batch_envelope_index=batch_index,
+      pc_claim_lookup=_pcn_lookup,
+  )
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4.3: Same change for the TA1 handler.**
+
+  Locate `handlers/handle_ta1.py`. After the existing `add_ta1_ack` call (or in place of where `add_ack` is called), add:
+  ```python
+  def _batch_lookup(sender_id, receiver_id):
+      return session.query(Batch).filter_by(...).order_by(Batch.parsed_at.desc()).first()
+  link_result = apply_ta1_envelope_link(session, parsed_ta1, ack_id=row.id, batch_lookup=_batch_lookup)
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4.4: Extend the parse-endpoint responses in `backend/src/cyclone/api.py` to surface `claim_ack_links`.**
+
+  The three `parse-999` / `parse-277ca` / `parse-ta1` POST handlers gain a new field on their response (D4.2 in spec):
+  ```python
+  return {
+      "ack": <existing ack dict>,
+      "claim_ack_links": {
+          "linked": [{"claim_id": c, "ak2_index": i}, ...],
+          "orphans": [...],
+      }
+  }
+  ```
+  Note: the field is a *summary*, not the full row list (the live-tail event has the full rows).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4.5: Add end-to-end ingest tests.**
+
+  In `backend/tests/test_e2e_999_to_claim_drawer.py`:
+  ```python
+  def test_ingest_999_creates_link_rows_via_st02_join(client, store):
+      # Seed a Batch with raw_result_json.envelope.control_number='991102986'
+      # and a Claim whose batch_id points to that Batch (the claim's
+      # patient_control_number is set to the long form 't991102986o...'
+      # to mirror the real-world t-prefix pattern from Gainwell/TOC).
+      # POST /api/parse-999 with a 999 carrying AK2*837*991102986*...
+      # Assert: GET /api/claims/{id}/acks returns 1 row.
+      # Assert: GET /api/acks/999/{id}/claims returns 1 row.
+      # Assert: the link row's set_control_number == '991102986'
+      #         (i.e. the AK2-2 value, not the claim's CLM01).
+      # Assert: the two views agree on the link.
+
+  def test_ingest_999_creates_link_rows_via_pcn_fallback(client, store):
+      # Seed a Claim with patient_control_number='991102986' (no matching
+      # Batch envelope — Pass 2 fallback path).
+      # POST /api/parse-999 with AK2*837*991102986*...
+      # Assert: GET /api/claims/{id}/acks returns 1 row (Pass 2 hit).
+  ```
+  Run both tests — should PASS.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — API endpoints
+
+### Task 5: `api_routers/claim_acks.py` + route registration
+
+- [ ] **Step 5.1: Create `backend/src/cyclone/api_routers/claim_acks.py`.**
+
+  Mirrors `api_routers/acks.py` shape. Five endpoints + two stream endpoints (see spec §4.1). Each read endpoint calls through the `CycloneStore` facade; each write endpoint calls `link_manual` from `cyclone.claim_acks` (which builds a `ClaimAck` row + delegates to `store.add_claim_ack`). The stream endpoints follow the SP25 test pattern (synthetic `Request` + iterate `body_iterator` directly + `monkeypatch.setenv("CYCLONE_TAIL_HEARTBEAT_S", "0.2")`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5.2: Register the router in `backend/src/cyclone/api.py`.**
+
+  Insert near the existing `app.include_router(acks_router)` line. The exact line depends on the current api.py layout — locate by grep for `acks_router`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5.3: Extend `/api/claims/{id}` to include `ack_links`.**
+
+  In the existing `GET /api/claims/{id}` handler, add:
+  ```python
+  ack_links = [
+      to_ui_claim_ack(link) for link in store.list_acks_for_claim(claim_id)
+      if link.claim_id is not None  # exclude TA1 batch-level rows
+  ]
+  return {**existing_response, "ack_links": ack_links}
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5.4: Extend `/api/acks` / `/api/ta1-acks` / `/api/277ca-acks` to include `linked_claim_ids`.**
+
+  For each list endpoint, augment the `to_ui_*` payload with:
+  ```python
+  links = store.list_claims_for_ack("999", row.id)
+  body["linked_claim_ids"] = [l.claim_id for l in links if l.claim_id]
+  ```
+  Same shape for the TA1 / 277CA variants (using `kind="ta1"` / `"277ca"`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5.5: Add the API tests in `backend/tests/test_api_claim_acks.py`.**
+
+  Three tests (spec §6). Use the existing `TestClient(app)` pattern. Run — should PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5.6: Sanity test — `pytest backend/tests/test_api_claim_acks.py -v`.**
+
+  All three tests should PASS. The full backend suite should show 0 new failures (the 1 pre-existing pollution in `test_provider_detail_includes_orphan_remit_received` is documented in the baseline).
+

+## Phase 6 — Frontend
+
+### Task 6: Hooks + store slice + drawer panels + Inbox lane
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.1: Add `ClaimAck` interface to `src/types/index.ts`.**
+
+  Mirrors the `Ack` interface shape. Add a `kind: "999" | "277ca" | "ta1"` discriminator.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.2: Extend `src/lib/api.ts` with the new methods.**
+
+  ```typescript
+  export function listClaimAcks(claimId: string): Promise<ClaimAck[]>
+  export function listAckClaims(kind: "999" | "277ca" | "ta1", ackId: number): Promise<ClaimAck[]>
+  export function matchAckToClaim(kind: ..., ackId: number, claimId: string): Promise<ClaimAck>
+  export function unmatchAck(kind: ..., ackId: number, claimId: string): Promise<void>
+  export function listAckOrphans(kind: ...): Promise<Array<...>>
+  ```
+  Each uses `apiFetch` with the existing `envelope` unwrap pattern.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.3: Create `src/hooks/useClaimAcks.ts` + `src/hooks/useClaimAcks.test.ts`.**
+
+  TanStack Query, key `["claim-acks", claimId]`. Returns `{ data, isLoading, isError, error, refetch }`. The test stubs `vi.mock("@/lib/api", ...)` and asserts the hook fires.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.4: Create `src/hooks/useAckClaims.ts` + `src/hooks/useAckClaims.test.ts`.**
+
+  Mirror of `useClaimAcks` scoped to a single ack. The key is `["ack-claims", kind, ackId]`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.5: Extend `src/store/tail-store.ts` with a `claimAcks` slice.**
+
+  Add `claimAcks: Record<string, ClaimAck>` + `claimAckOrder: number[]`. Implement `addClaimAck`, `reset("claimAcks")`, and the FIFO eviction in `evictOldest`. Mirrors the SP25 acks/ta1_acks slice pattern at `src/store/tail-store.ts`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.6: Extend `src/hooks/useTailStream.ts` dispatch for `claim_acks`.**
+
+  Add a case in the switch:
+  ```typescript
+  case "claim_ack_written":
+      store.addClaimAck(event.data);
+      break;
+  ```
+  Also extend `TailResource` (or whichever enum/union lists the resource names) to include `"claim-acks"`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.7: Extend `src/hooks/useMergedTail.ts` for `claim-acks`.**
+
+  Add a case that merges the snapshot + tail into the returned list. Mirrors the existing `claims` / `remittances` / `acks` / `ta1_acks` branches.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.8: Extend `ClaimDrawer.tsx` with the new `<Acknowledgments />` panel.**
+
+  Insert between `<ServiceLines />` and `<Reconciliation />`. The panel:
+  - Calls `useClaimAcks(claimId)` for the initial fetch.
+  - Calls `useTailStream("claim-acks")` + `useMergedTail("claim-acks", data ?? [], (link) => link.claim_id === claimId)` for the live update.
+  - Renders a compact list of rows (one per ack link) with: code badge, ack kind, parsed_at, `→` link to `AckDrawer` via `openAck(link.ack_id, link.ack_kind)`.
+  - Renders `<EmptyState>` when the list is empty.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.9: Extend `AckDrawer.tsx` with the new `<MatchedClaim />` panel.**
+
+  Insert as the FIRST panel (before "Set responses"). The panel:
+  - Calls `useAckClaims(kind, ackId)` for the initial fetch.
+  - Calls `useTailStream("claim-acks")` + `useMergedTail("claim-acks", data ?? [], (link) => link.ack_id === ackId)`.
+  - For 999 / 277CA: renders one card per AK2 / ClaimStatus with PCN + ClaimStateBadge + charge + `→` link to ClaimDrawer.
+  - For TA1: renders the originating Batch (batch_id + filename + parsed_at) instead of a Claim.
+  - When the list is empty: renders a "Link to claim…" dropdown that calls `api.matchAckToClaim(...)` and refetches on success.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.10: Extend `pages/Acks.tsx` with a new "Claims" badge column.**
+
+  Add a new `<TableHead>Claims</TableHead>` between "Accepted" and "Rejected". The cell renders a `<Badge>{linkedClaimCount}</Badge>` (mirroring the existing accepted/rejected count badges). When count > 0, the badge is clickable and navigates to the first linked claim's ClaimDrawer (deep-link via `useDrawerUrlState`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.11: Extend `pages/Acks.test.tsx` with a column assertion.**
+
+  Existing test stubs `vi.mock("@/lib/api", ...)`. Add an assertion that the table row renders the "Claims" badge with the count from the mocked list response.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.12: Extend `pages/Inbox.tsx` with a new "Ack orphans" lane.**
+
+  The Inbox currently has 5 lanes (per the skill text). Add a 6th lane:
+  - Header: "Ack orphans (N)" with a sub-tab for `999` / `277ca` / `ta1`.
+  - Body: a compact table of orphan acks fetched from `api.listAckOrphans(kind)`.
+  - Per-row "Dismiss" button (no-op — orphans just stay visible until auto-link succeeds on a later 837 ingest).
+  - Per-row "Link to claim…" dropdown that calls `api.matchAckToClaim(...)` and refreshes the lane.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.13: Extend `pages/Inbox.test.tsx` with the new lane assertion.**
+
+  This may incidentally fix some of the 10 pre-existing test failures if those tests were asserting on lane count or shape. Note any new failures in the merge commit body.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6.14: Run `npm run typecheck` + `npm test` + `npm run lint`.**
+
+  All three commands should exit 0. The 10 pre-existing frontend failures should remain unchanged (or fewer if Task 6.13 incidentally fixed any).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7 — Final verification
+
+### Task 7: Pre-merge checks
+
+- [ ] **Step 7.1: Full backend suite.**
+
+  ```bash
+  cd /home/tyler/dev/cyclone/.worktrees/sp28-ack-claim-auto-link/backend && PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/src .venv/bin/pytest
+  ```
+  Expected: 1 pre-existing pollution failure (`test_provider_detail_includes_orphan_remit_received`), zero new failures.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7.2: Full frontend suite.**
+
+  ```bash
+  cd /home/tyler/dev/cyclone/.worktrees/sp28-ack-claim-auto-link && npm test
+  ```
+  Expected: 10 pre-existing failures (unchanged from baseline), zero new failures.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7.3: Typecheck + lint.**
+
+  ```bash
+  npm run typecheck && npm run lint
+  ```
+  Both should exit 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7.4: Build.**
+
+  ```bash
+  npm run build
+  ```
+  Should exit 0.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7.5: Smoke the dev environment.**
+
+  ```bash
+  cd backend && .venv/bin/python -m cyclone serve &
+  npm run dev &
+  # In a separate terminal, log in as admin and:
+  #   1. POST /api/parse-999 with backend/tests/fixtures/minimal_999.txt
+  #   2. Open the Acks page → the row shows "Claims: 1" badge
+  #   3. Click the badge → opens the linked claim's ClaimDrawer
+  #   4. The Acknowledgments panel in ClaimDrawer shows the 999 row
+  #   5. POST /api/parse-999 with a fixture that has no matching claim
+  #   6. Open Inbox → "Ack orphans" lane shows the row
+  ```
+  All six steps should complete without error.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7.6: Write the merge commit body.**
+
+  After PR approval:
+  ```bash
+  git checkout main
+  git merge --no-ff sp28-ack-claim-auto-link -m "merge: SP28 ack-claim auto-link into main
+
+  Closes the operator gap where 999 / 277CA / TA1 acks were persisted
+  but never linked back to the claims they acknowledged. New
+  claim_acks join table, auto-linker running at parse time, two new
+  stream endpoints, ClaimDrawer + AckDrawer surface panels, and a
+  new Inbox lane for orphan handling. Auth posture: any logged-in
+  user can run the manual-match endpoint (deviation from the
+  admin-only remit-orphans posture — documented in spec §D5/D9).
+  Pre-existing baseline: 1 backend pollution + 10 frontend failures,
+  both unchanged."
+  ```
+
+  **DO NOT SQUASH. DO NOT REBASE.** The per-commit history IS the audit trail.
+
+---
+
+## Notes for the implementer
+
+- **Idempotency is non-negotiable.** Every helper must be safe to re-run on the same input. The `ux_claim_acks_dedup` unique index enforces this at the DB layer; the helpers also pre-check before insert to avoid the IntegrityError log noise.
+- **Don't re-parse raw_json.** The link row stores `set_control_number` + `set_accept_reject_code` precisely so the UI doesn't need to re-parse. If you find yourself reaching for `json.loads(row.raw_json)` in a serializer or endpoint, STOP — the link row has what you need.
+- **The `claim_state` field on `to_ui_claim_ack` is a join, not a relationship.** A `relationship()` would eager-load all the claims; the join is cheaper and only runs when the serializer is called.
+- **Test names must match the spec.** The test file `test_apply_claim_ack_links.py` lists 8 named tests in spec §6 — use those exact names so reviewers can grep from the spec to the diff.
+- **The TA1 batch-link is a stretch goal.** If `apply_ta1_envelope_link` ends up too complex for SP28 (the sender/receiver matching is fuzzy), it's acceptable to ship without it and leave TA1 ack-row-only (no claim_acks row for TA1). The spec §D4 marks it as "envelope-level link to Batch"; if the implementer can't get the matching right in time, defer to a follow-up SP and note the deviation in the merge commit body.
+
+---
+
+## Deviations log
+
+### 2026-07-02 — D10 added, two-pass join replaces single PCN lookup
+
+**Finding:** Empirically measured against prod (1,398 acks, 530 claims), the join `Claim.patient_control_number == 999.set_control_number` matched **0 acks**. Gainwell's 999 AK2-2 echoes the source 837's `ST02` (batch control number), not its `CLM01` (patient control number). TOC's billing software fills CLM01 with the full claim id (`t991102989o1c120d`) and ST02 with the batch control number (`991102989`), so the two values never collide.
+
+**Fix:** Auto-linker join rewritten as a two-pass lookup — primary is `Batch.envelope.control_number (== 837 ST02) → claims via batch_id`, fallback is `Claim.patient_control_number`. New pure helper `lookup_claims_for_ack_set_response` encapsulates both passes. New store method `batch_envelope_index()` builds an in-memory `ST02 → batch.id` map at the start of each ingest.
+
+**Coverage after fix:** 727 of 1,398 acks auto-link (52%); 671 stay orphans because their ST02 is `0001` (placeholder) and no 837 batch with ST02=`0001` exists in our DB — these are real orphans that surface in the Inbox `ack-orphans` lane.
+
+**Spec change:** New decision D10 in spec. Plan changes: Step 2.1 grew by one helper; Step 2.2 rewritten to walk a list of matched claims per AK2 (one-ack-to-many); Step 2.5 grew by three new tests (`test_lookup_claims_two_pass_join`, `test_lookup_claims_pass1_wins_over_pass2`, `test_999_linker_emits_one_row_per_claim_in_multi_claim_batch`); Step 3.1 grew by `batch_envelope_index()`; Step 3.3 grew by one facade method; Step 4.1 / 4.2 rewritten to pass the index; Step 4.5 grew by one extra test (`test_ingest_999_creates_link_rows_via_pcn_fallback`).
+
+(Add any further deviations from this plan to the merge commit body. Pre-existing baseline is 1 backend pollution + 10 frontend failures; document any new pre-existing or changed-baseline entries here.)
+
+### 2026-07-02 (post-implementation) — Backend architecture deviations
+
+**Finding:** During implementation, four architectural refinements were needed to honor the existing store/pubsub contract and SQLite's single-writer-at-a-time constraint. All four preserve the spec's behavioral contract; they only reshape the implementation seams.
+
+1. **Helpers return dataclasses instead of inserting directly.** The plan specified that `apply_999_acceptances` / `apply_277ca_acks` / `apply_ta1_envelope_link` would call `session.add(ClaimAck(...))` themselves. To preserve the publish-from-store contract (`claim_ack_written` fires only from `CycloneStore.add_claim_ack`), the helpers now **return** `ClaimAckLinkRow` dataclasses. The handler is responsible for persisting each row via `cycl_store.add_claim_ack(...)`. End behavior is identical: exactly one `claim_acks` row per AK2-to-claim match, with the live-tail event fired on persist. **Affected tests:** the test file's mock of `ClaimAck` insert was rewritten to assert against the returned dataclasses (15 tests still pass).
+
+2. **Handlers commit the work session before calling `cycl_store.add_claim_ack`.** `CycloneStore` methods open their own SQLAlchemy sessions; SQLite raises `database is locked` when multiple sessions from the same thread write concurrently. The pattern is: build the `batch_envelope_index` outside the work session, run all helper work inside the work session, snapshot `result.linked` to a list, commit, then call `cycl_store.add_claim_ack` per row in fresh sessions. The TA1 handler follows the same pattern for symmetry even though it makes only one store call.
+
+3. **`batch_envelope_index` accepts dict OR callable.** The store returns a plain `dict[str, str]`; tests passed closures. `lookup_claims_for_ack_set_response` normalizes both shapes at the top so callers don't have to wrap.
+
+4. **`link_manual` returns a `ClaimAckLinkRow`** (not a `(row, created)` tuple). Same publish-from-store rationale as (1). Idempotency is enforced by the dedup pre-check in the API endpoint + the partial unique index at the DB layer.
+
+### 2026-07-02 (post-implementation) — Frontend deviations
+
+1. **TA1 orphan row shape in Inbox lane.** The spec said "TA1 batch-level rows have `claim_id == null`" and the `AckDrawer` panel should render them as originating-Batch cards (per D4). The Inbox lane's TA1 row shape was not enumerated; the orphan lane renders TA1 rows as `kind="ta1"` rows with `linkedClaimIds: []` and the `batchId` shown inline.
+
+2. **ClaimDrawer → /acks cross-page nav.** `useAckDrawerUrlState` only updates URL on the `/acks` page, not from `/claims`. The `AcknowledgmentsPanel` uses `useNavigate()` to navigate to `/acks?ack=<id>` (mirrors the existing Inbox → RemitDrawer cross-page nav pattern).
+
+3. **Acks page TA1 column header.** The TA1 register's column header reads "Batches" instead of "Claims" since TA1 rows link to originating Batches (D4), not claims. The 999 register uses "Claims". Cosmetic deviation to keep the TA1 surface self-documenting.
+
+4. **Inbox ack-orphans lane position.** Placed between `payer_rejected` and `candidates` rather than as a trailing 6th lane. Matches the spec's "Mirrors the existing 'Payer-rejected' lane shape" guidance (operator eye-flow groups all rejection-class triage together before reconciliation opportunities).
+
+5. **`fmt.usd` instead of `fmt.money`** in `MatchedClaimPanel` (commit `3fd2c44`). The codebase has both helpers; the `fmt.usd` formatter is the canonical claim-money formatter per `src/lib/format.ts`. Cosmetic fix caught in the typecheck pass.
+
+### 2026-07-02 (post-implementation) — Test baseline confirmed
+
+- **Backend:** 25/25 SP28 tests pass. Full backend suite: 1210 passed, 10 skipped, 6 errors + 1 failed — matches pre-SP28 baseline (the 1+6 are the documented `test_payer_summary.py` + `test_provider_extended_response.py` pollution; all 7 pass in isolation).
+- **Frontend:** 36 new SP28 tests pass. Full frontend suite: 580 passed, 5 failed — matches pre-SP28 baseline failures (`api.test.ts` getBatchDiff, `tail-stream.test.ts` acks+ta1_acks targeting, `Inbox.test.tsx` SP14 payer-rejected, `InboxHeader.test.tsx`). No new frontend failures.
+- **Typecheck (frontend):** 17 pre-existing errors remain; zero in SP28-introduced files.
+- **Lint:** `eslint` is missing from `devDependencies` (pre-existing); the `npm run lint` script is non-functional. Not in scope for SP28.
+- **Build:** `tsc -b` fails on pre-existing errors in `ClaimCard837.test.tsx`, `Upload.tsx`, `Lane.tsx`, etc. — none in SP28-introduced files. `vite build` would succeed if `tsc -b` were clean; tracked as follow-up.

+
+## SP28 follow-ups (post-merge, 2026-07-02)
+
+### Bug fix — `Batch.kind` filter mismatch (shipped as merge `02b879a`)
+
+The original SP28 helpers (`batch_envelope_index()` + `lookup_claims_for_ack_set_response()` fallback + the two `_batch_lookup` closures in `handle_ta1.py` / `api.py`) all filter `Batch.kind == "837"`. But production `Batch` rows are written with `kind="837p"` (lowercase `p`, per `api.py:443` and `store/records.py:58`). Result on prod: the batch envelope index was empty, every Pass-1 (ST02 via batch) join missed, and the user's claim `t991102989o1c120d` (batch `0e2726b3...`, envelope.control_number=`991102989`) had zero claim_acks rows despite having 334 incoming 999 AK2s with set_control_number=`991102989`.
+
+**Why tests passed:** the SP28 test files seeded `Batch(kind="837", ...)` — internally consistent with the wrong helper filter, but never exercised the prod value. The 4 production sites + 3 test files + 1 test closure were all updated to `kind="837p"`. 25 SP28 tests + 20 handler tests pass post-fix. Branch + atomic merge: `sp28-fix-batch-kind-mismatch` → `02b879a`.

+### One-time backfill script (`/tmp/backfill_claim_acks.py`, in-container)
+
+The 1,398 existing 999 acks (and the 1 277CA + 1 TA1) pre-date the auto-linker. The bug fix above makes NEW acks auto-link correctly, but the existing rows need a one-time pass to populate `claim_acks`. The script walks the SP28 helpers against the live DB (no re-ingest required) and persists via `CycloneStore.add_claim_ack(...)` so live-tail events fire normally. Idempotent via the partial unique index + Python pre-check in each helper.
+
+**Run from the prod container:**
+```bash
+docker exec -e CYCLONE_DB_URL=sqlite:////var/lib/cyclone/db/cyclone.db \
+  cyclone-backend-1 python /tmp/backfill_claim_acks.py
+```
+
+**Result on prod (2026-07-02 18:30 UTC):**
+- 999: 1,398 acks → 66,559 link rows inserted → 867 set_control_numbers orphaned (mostly the 671 with ST02=`0001` + a few rare mismatches)
+- 277CA: 1 ack → 0 links (sample data, PCNs don't match real claims)
+- TA1: 1 ack → 0 links (sender/receiver mismatch)
+- User's claim `t991102989o1c120d`: 334 claim_acks rows (all 999 type, batch=`0e2726b3...`, ack_kind=999, all `set_accept_reject_code='A'`)
+- API verification: `GET /api/claims/t991102989o1c120d/acks` → 334 rows; `GET /api/claims/t991102989o1c120d` now includes `ack_links: [...334 rows...]`
+
+**Note on the script:** it's a one-shot in-container tool, not part of the shipped codebase. The 671 ST02=`0001` orphans + 196 other orphans will surface in the new Inbox `ack-orphans` lane as designed — operator can clear them via the manual-match dropdown (D4 + D5 in spec).

 # CycloneStore split (Step 4) — Design Spec
 
-**Date:** 2026-06-21
-**Status:** Draft, pending user review
-**Branch:** `main` (split will land as a single atomic commit)
-**Scope:** Behaviour-preserving structural split of `backend/src/cyclone/store.py` (2,412 lines) into a `cyclone/store/` subpackage. Zero public API changes, zero test changes.
+**Date:** 2026-06-21 (original); 2026-06-29 (resumed)
+**Status:** Approved 2026-06-21; resumed 2026-06-29 after SP25-SP27 grew the file
+**Branch:** `sp21-store-split` (per SP-N convention; lands as a single atomic merge commit into `main`)
+**Scope:** Behaviour-preserving structural split of `backend/src/cyclone/store.py` (2,995 lines as of 2026-06-29) into a `cyclone/store/` subpackage. Zero public API changes, zero test changes.
+
+## Delta vs. 2026-06-21 baseline
+
+Resumed on 2026-06-29 because SP25-SP27 added 583 lines to `store.py` and three new top-level symbols (`dashboard_kpis`, `_claim_state_str`, `check_matched_pair_drift`) that the original 13-module layout didn't anticipate. Everything in **Decisions** below is preserved verbatim from the 2026-06-21 spec; only the implementation details (module count, baseline numbers, import surface) are updated.

 ## Context
 
-`store.py` is the SQLAlchemy-backed facade over the parsed-X12 store. It sits on the hot path of `parse-999`, `parse-277ca`, reconciliation, and inbox match/unmatch. At 2,412 lines it has outgrown a single file: 41 methods on `CycloneStore`, ~17 module-level helpers, Pydantic models, ORM row builders, UI serializers, and exception types all live in one module.

At 2,995 lines it has outgrown a single file: 41 methods on `CycloneStore`, ~20 module-level helpers, Pydantic models, ORM row builders, UI serializers, dashboard aggregators, and exception types all live in one module.
 
 This is "Step 4" of the ongoing refactor series. Steps 1–3 (the api.py splits — commits `931782b`, `fc73075`, `3b5e2af`, `eb674f8`, `ff43f90`, `6ce6385`, `e63be87`, `a63ba5e`) established the pattern: turn a monolithic file into a subpackage with a thin facade, preserving every public import.

+**Why a separate `kpis.py`:** `dashboard_kpis` and `_claim_state_str` together are a coherent unit — read-only aggregations across claims + remittances + batches that the UI consumes as a single dashboard payload. They don't fit any existing module's responsibility (`ui.py` is row-formatters, `claim_detail.py` is single-claim reads). A 14th module is one file with two functions; co-locating them in `ui.py` would push `ui.py` past 300 LOC and mix row-shaping with aggregate aggregation.
+
+**Why `check_matched_pair_drift` in `claim_detail.py`:** It's a read-only invariant check that joins `claims` + `remittances` — the same pair-of-tables `get_claim_detail`'s matched-remittance summary reads from. No other module touches both tables for a single read; creating a 15th file for one function would be over-decomposition.

+**Resolved open item:** `_claim_status_from_validation` is re-exported from `__init__.py` (preserves `batch_diff.py:32`). Two further private-helper leaks surfaced during the SP25-SP27 audit and are re-exported the same way:

+# SP26 — SFTP Password File Companion: Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-24
+**Status:** Draft, awaiting user sign-off
+**Branch:** `sp26-sftp-password-file-companion`
+**Aesthetic direction:** No new UI. Tiny extension to `secrets.get_secret()` plus a docker-compose secret entry plus a runbook row. Backward-compatible with every existing call site — no signature changes, no new public symbols.
+
+## 1. Scope
+
+SP25 made the MFT password portable: `cyclone.secrets.get_secret()` now resolves `sftp.gainwell.password` from a plain env var (`CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD`), the macOS Keychain, or `None`, in that order. That covers a Linux server exporting the env var. It does not cover the SP23 Docker stack, where the convention is to mount a secret as a file at `/run/secrets/<name>` and point an env var at the path — never embed the secret value in `docker-compose.yml`.
+
+SP26 closes that one remaining gap. Two small changes:
+
+1. **`_FILE` companion in `secrets.get_secret()`.** When the env var `<NAME>_FILE` is set (e.g. `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/cyclone_sftp_password`), read the file, strip whitespace, return the contents. The `_FILE` tier sits *above* the plain env var in the lookup chain so a Docker secret always wins over a stray env-var export. The `auth/bootstrap.py` pattern (`_read_secret`) is the precedent — `_FILE`-then-env-var, file takes precedence.
+2. **Docker compose wiring.** Add a `cyclone_sftp_password` secret block to `docker-compose.yml` and a `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` env var on the backend service so a fresh `docker compose up` on the SP23 stack can poll real Gainwell MFT without anyone editing the compose file.
+
+Out of scope (explicit, each is its own future SP if requested):
+- A `_FILE` tier for the SQLCipher key (`CYCLONE_SECRET_KEY_FILE` is referenced in `docker-compose.yml` but is read by a different code path in `db_crypto.py`; SP26 does not unify the two readers).
+- A `_FILE` tier for the backup passphrase / salt. Those are Keychain-only today (per SP12/SP17); bringing them into the `_FILE` world would be a separate increment.
+- A frontend change. The compose wiring is backend-only; the frontend nginx already reverse-proxies `/api/*` unchanged.
+- Per-secret granularity. `_FILE` support lands generically inside `get_secret()` via the `_ENV_NAME_FOR` table — every secret that has an env-var mapping automatically gets the `_FILE` companion, not just `sftp.gainwell.password`. Today only the MFT password has such a mapping, so the visible effect is MFT-only; the broader capability is a side benefit.
+
+## 2. Goals
+
+1. **The SP23 Docker stack can run real-MFT polling with zero secret values in `docker-compose.yml`.** An operator writing the file once at `/etc/cyclone/secrets/sftp_password` is sufficient.
+2. **`_FILE` takes precedence over the plain env var** when both are set, matching the `auth/bootstrap.py` convention. Setting both is a configuration error; the operator-visible behavior is "the file wins", which is what they almost certainly meant.
+3. **The existing call sites do not change.** Every consumer of `get_secret()` (the scheduler's `SftpClient._connect`, the backup passphrase lookup, the SQLCipher key lookup, the CLI) keeps its existing call shape. The new tier is invisible to all of them — they get either the same value as before, or the file-derived value when the operator has set the `_FILE` env var.
+4. **The runbook documents the Docker-secrets variant** so an operator bringing up a fresh SP23 host does not need to read the spec or the source to find the right env var name.
+
+## 3. Locked decisions
+
+### 3.1 `_FILE` tier placement — top of the lookup chain
+
+The new lookup chain for `get_secret(name)` becomes, in order:
+
+1. **`<env_name>_FILE` env var set** → `Path(file_path).read_text().strip()` → return value. Missing or unreadable file raises `RuntimeError` with a message that names the env var and the path. Mirrors `auth/bootstrap.py:_read_secret` (which raises on `OSError`).
+2. **`<env_name>` env var set and non-empty (after strip)** → return stripped value. Existing SP25 behavior, unchanged.
+3. **macOS Keychain** via `keyring` — existing fallback, unchanged.
+4. **`None`** — existing fallback, unchanged.
+
+Rationale for raising on a missing `_FILE` file (rather than silently falling through): an operator who set `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/cyclone_sftp_password` is making a positive statement about where the secret lives. A silent fall-through to the plain env var or Keychain would mask a real misconfiguration (typo in path, container started without the secret mounted, file removed). A `RuntimeError` at the next scheduler tick surfaces the problem immediately. The existing `SftpClient._connect` already wraps unknown-secret errors in a clear `RuntimeError`, so the operator sees a consistent error class whether the secret is missing entirely or the file path is wrong.
+
+Rationale for placing `_FILE` above the plain env var (rather than below, or making them coexist): the SP23 admin-bootstrap convention — and the broader Docker-secrets convention — is "file wins". An operator who mounted a secret file almost certainly did not also intend for an env-var export to override it. Putting `_FILE` first removes ambiguity.
+
+### 3.2 `_FILE` name derived from the env-var name
+
+The `_FILE` companion name is `<env_name> + "_FILE"`. For `sftp.gainwell.password` the env-var name is `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD` (from the existing `_ENV_NAME_FOR` table in `secrets.py`), so the `_FILE` companion is `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE`. No new table entry required — the helper computes the `_FILE` name on the fly.
+
+This means any future secret that gets an entry in `_ENV_NAME_FOR` automatically gains the `_FILE` companion. The cost of generalization (a single `+ "_FILE"` suffix) is trivial; the alternative (a second hand-maintained mapping table) is a maintenance trap.
+
+### 3.3 No new public symbols
+
+`_read_secret` in `auth/bootstrap.py` stays where it is. SP26 does not extract a shared helper to `cyclone/secrets.py` because the two callers have different failure modes (bootstrap raises on missing file because it cannot proceed; `get_secret` raises on missing file because the operator made a positive statement about where the secret lives, but returns `None` when nothing is set at all). Sharing a helper would conflate those and force one caller to take on the other's behavior. A duplicated 6-line reader inside `get_secret` is the right amount of code.
+
+### 3.4 Compose-file change is minimal
+
+`docker-compose.yml` gains:
+
+- A `cyclone_sftp_password` entry in the top-level `secrets:` block pointing at `/etc/cyclone/secrets/sftp_password` (matching the file-based-secret pattern already used for the admin creds).
+- A `cyclone_sftp_password` entry in the backend service's `secrets:` list.
+- A `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE: "/run/secrets/cyclone_sftp_password"` env var on the backend service.
+
+No Dockerfile change. No volume change. No `nginx.conf` change. The frontend service is unaffected.
+
+### 3.5 No new pubsub events, no new endpoints, no new migrations
+
+The increment is fully internal to `secrets.py` plus a small compose-file edit. No `processed_inbound_files` row is touched, no `claim_written` / `remittance_written` event shape changes, no DB migration is needed.
+
+### 3.6 Idempotency and audit are unchanged
+
+`_FILE` lookup is a pure function of the filesystem at the moment `get_secret()` is called. The scheduler already calls `get_secret()` on every tick (via `SftpClient._connect`), so a `_FILE` change is picked up on the next tick without any restart. There is no per-tick caching that would need invalidating. The audit chain (`processed_inbound_files` rows, `claim_submitted` / `remittance_written` events) is unchanged.
+
+## 4. Files
+
+**Modified:**
+- `backend/src/cyclone/secrets.py` — extend `get_secret()` with the `_FILE` tier at the top of the chain. Update the module docstring to mention the four-tier lookup. No new public symbols.
+- `docker-compose.yml` — add `cyclone_sftp_password` to top-level `secrets:`, add to backend `secrets:` list, add `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` env var on backend service.
+- `docs/RUNBOOK.md` — add `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` row to the env-var table; add a "Docker-secrets variant" subsection under "First-time setup" mirroring the macOS dev box variant.
+
+**New:**
+- `backend/tests/test_secrets_file.py` — covers all `_FILE` cases (file wins, file + env both set → file wins, file missing → raises, file with trailing newline stripped, full Gainwell chain via `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE`). Reuses the same `secrets_module` fixture pattern as `test_secrets_envvar.py`.
+
+**New migration:** none. The `clearhouse` table is unchanged. The `processed_inbound_files` table is unchanged. The `users` table is unchanged.
+
+## 5. API surface
+
+None. No new endpoints, no modified endpoints, no new request/response shapes. `PATCH /api/clearhouse` (added in SP25) and the scheduler hot-reload path are both unchanged — they call into the store and the scheduler, not directly into `secrets.get_secret()`, so the new `_FILE` tier is transparent to them.
+
+## 6. Env vars (operator-facing)
+
+| Variable | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD` | unset | Plain-env-var form of the MFT password. Second-priority lookup in `secrets.get_secret()`. Stripped of leading/trailing whitespace. (Unchanged from SP25.) |
+| `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` | unset | Path to a file containing the MFT password, read on every call. Highest-priority lookup. Used by the SP23 Docker stack so the secret value never appears in `docker-compose.yml`. Stripped of leading/trailing whitespace. **NEW in SP26.** |
+
+The `_FILE` companion is checked first; the plain env var is checked second. Setting both means the file wins.
+
+## 7. Validation rules
+
+No new `R_*` rule IDs in `cyclone.validation.rules`. SP26 is not an EDI-increment.
+
+## 8. Testing plan
+
+**`test_secrets_file.py`** — 6 cases:
+
+1. `_FILE` set, file exists, env var absent → file contents returned.
+2. `_FILE` set with trailing `\n` in file → stripped value returned.
+3. `_FILE` set + plain env var both set → `_FILE` wins.
+4. `_FILE` set, file does not exist → raises `RuntimeError` with the env var name and the path in the message.
+5. `_FILE` absent, plain env var set → falls through to plain env var (existing SP25 path, regression guard).
+6. Full Gainwell chain: setting `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` makes `get_secret("sftp.gainwell.password")` return the file's contents.
+
+**`test_docker.py`** (existing) — extend the compose-shape assertion to require `cyclone_sftp_password` in the secrets block and `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` on the backend service. This is a 5-line addition that catches accidental deletion.
+
+**Target backend test count after SP26: current + 6 + 1 = current + 7 tests.**
+
+## 9. Out of scope (future SPs)
+
+- **Unify the SQLCipher key path** with `get_secret()` so `CYCLONE_SECRET_KEY_FILE` (currently referenced in `docker-compose.yml` but read by `db_crypto.py` directly) goes through the same lookup chain. Useful for consistency but not required for the MFT story.
+- **`_FILE` tier for backup passphrase / salt** (used by `backup_service.py` and the `python -m cyclone backup` CLI subcommands). They are Keychain-only today; bringing them into the Docker-secrets world is a separate increment.
+- **A migration of the existing `sftp.gainwell.password` Keychain entry** to a `_FILE` mount on the macOS dev box. macOS dev boxes use `security add-generic-password`, which the spec does not change.
+- **A frontend operator UI** for managing secrets. The runbook covers the curl / docker-compose workflow.
+- **Per-secret granularity in the runbook.** The runbook documents only `CYCLONE_SFTP_PASSWORD_FILE` (the only secret that has an `_ENV_NAME_FOR` entry today). The generic `_FILE` mechanism is documented in code comments; only the operator-visible entry gets a runbook row.
+
+## 10. Open questions resolved this session
+
+| # | Question | Resolution |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | What does "update docker" mean given SP25 just landed? | Extend the `secrets.get_secret()` lookup to support `<NAME>_FILE` env vars (the Docker-secrets pattern), and wire the SFTP password through that pattern in `docker-compose.yml`. |
+| 2 | Just SFTP, or all secrets? | SFTP only — `get_secret()` gains generic `_FILE` support but only `sftp.gainwell.password` has an env-var mapping today, so the visible effect is MFT-only. |
+| 3 | Hotfix on main, or full SP-N flow? | Full SP-N flow — SP26 spec → plan → branch → merge. |
+| 4 | Missing-file behavior: raise or fall through? | Raise `RuntimeError` (matches `auth/bootstrap.py:_read_secret`). |
+
+## 11. Open questions still pending
+
+None. Ready to implement.
