 ### 2026-10-14 — Untrusted fence escape and remote display names
 
-- **Seen:** 1× (from PR #2 review → issue #9)
+- **Seen:** 2× (from PR #2 review → issue #9; #98 non-face room ingest)
 - **Trigger:** Remote message or file body, or a peer display name / handle, reaches model-visible text.
 - **Wrong:** One-shot `replaceAll('</untrusted-…>', '')`; put peer-controlled names in trusted headers outside the fence.
 - **Right:** Neutralize markers until stable (or escape `<` / reject `untrusted-` fragments); share one helper with the client parser. Sanitize remote strings (strip controls/newlines, cap length); fence where possible. Negative tests required (see #9 acceptance).
 - **Promote path:** After ≥3 days and green tests → harden as a rule in [docs/code-standards.md](docs/code-standards.md#security-fences-and-remote-strings).
 
+### 2026-10-15 — Generated gates run after the last edit

+- **Seen:** 2× (#94, #99) — both failed independent review on packaging only.
+- **Trigger:** any edit to `core/` after the last `ds-bot-patches generate`, or before a `check-arch-docs` run.
+- **Wrong:** trusting an earlier green `check`/`arch-docs`; `check-arch-docs` diffs the base...HEAD and answers "0 changed" on uncommitted work.
+- **Right:** final `core/` edit → `npm run build` in `core/` when `src/client/` changed → `node scripts/ds-bot-patches.mjs generate` (repo root) → commit → `ARCH_DOCS_BASE=upstream/main npm run verify`. New files under `core/` land whole in `patches/ds-bot/files/` (no `topics.json` row).

+**Friend Bot lines are fenced in every shared room.** A granted friend's Bot speaking in a non-face group used to land raw in the room log, so peer-controlled markers reached every member Bot unfenced ([#98](https://github.com/ThinkFlowLab/FlyBot/issues/98)). The fence is keyed on the line's origin (remote participant, remote-chat record, or `line.remote`), not the room kind; already-wrapped lines are not nested; the room view unwraps the fence for display like the 1:1 chat.

 ### Remote Bot display
 
 - A friend's remote Bot is stored and delivered by its handle (`@<bot>.<home>` — what the @ menu inserts and `sendUserMentions` matches). Where the user reads it — mention chips (`src/client/user-message.js`) and sidebar previews (`nameMentions` in `src/client/text.js`) — the client rewrites the handle to the display name taken from the local roster (`roster.bots[].remote`, `roster.remoteBots`), never from message text, so a remote-controlled name reaches the UI only through the sanitized roster records (#71; display names, #9).

 - Host diagnostics never depend on `ctx.logger`: DSH may export no logger, and a test or plugin-local host may carry one without `warn`. `rt.warn` still writes stderr and the diagnostics log in that case (`src/host/diagnostics.js`).

+- `authoredRoomLine` fences peer-controlled text by the line's origin, not the room kind (#98): a remote participant, a local remote-chat record (`state.bots[id].remote`), a botId that is no team Bot, or `line.remote`. A friend's Bot speaking in a non-face group is fenced the same way as in a face room. A complete wrap is left as-is so outbound fanout does not nest residue; a mention of the marker in the body still fences. `stripUntrusted` is one fixed-point pass over both `untrusted-message` and `untrusted-file`. Inbound-share lines from the other instance are `remote: true` so owner-typed text is fenced too. Face join/leave notices stay unfenced platform copy.
+
 ### Remote chats and mentions
 
 - Channel `view()` puts `pendingCount` on a friend's chat (`bot.remote`) from `rt.listChatApprovals`, the same gold wait badge rooms already use. Local team Bots stay at 0. The social plugin supplies the list via `flybot.chatApprovals.setProvider` ([plugin-runtime](plugin-runtime.md)). Still not team mode.
