 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+### Fixed (found while recording the demo against Claude Sonnet 5.5)
+- Agents: a tool call written as function-call markup (`<invoke name="sql_query">…</invoke>`) instead of the requested JSON ended the run with the raw markup as its answer. The parser now reads both forms (first call only) and the prompt asks for JSON without markup.
+- Agents: runs use an output limit of 4,096 tokens per model call (`limits.max_output_tokens` overrides it) instead of the 1,024-token chat default, which cut long answers mid-sentence. A reply that still stops at the limit is marked as cut off. Providers report this as `ChatResponse.truncated`.
+- Agents: when the SQL itself needs a separate approval, the model is told not to retry (it used to file one approval request per retry).
+- Text-to-SQL: a cross join against a one-row source (a date window or total in a CTE, `LIMIT 1`) no longer needs approval; cross joins that can multiply rows still do.
+- Query results: the suggested chart skips id columns and charts a rate or percentage column on its own when there is one (it used to plot `carrier_id` beside the counts).
+- Connections map: shows the platform model ("Platform model", e.g. anthropic · claude-sonnet-5-5) when the organisation has no provider of its own, instead of "No language model configured".
+

 ## 3.0.0 — 2026-11-02 · Enterprise RAG & Knowledge Intelligence Platform
 
 A ground-up transformation of CSV-AI v2 (single-user Streamlit app) into a multi-tenant platform. Git history of the reused modules is preserved (`git mv` into `backend/app`).

 > Status: functional, tested end-to-end on PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector. See [IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md](IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md) for exactly what is complete, what is implemented-but-untested, and what is planned.
 
+## Demo
+
+[![Watch the 68-second demo on YouTube](docs/media/demo-video.jpg)](https://youtu.be/y7RYhWfFcmA)
+
+A 68-second walkthrough of the real app, with answers from Claude Sonnet 5.5: a cited contract answer, the same question from a member who can't see contracts, a plain-language database question, an agent that waits for an admin's approval, and the live Connections map. Halden Freight is fictional demo data. [Watch on YouTube](https://youtu.be/y7RYhWfFcmA).

+## Screenshots

+| --- | --- |
+| ![Chat answer with its sources panel open on the cited clause](docs/media/chat-sources.png) | ![The same view in the dark theme](docs/media/chat-sources-dark.png) |
+| **Cited answers.** Every claim links to its page; the Sources panel shows the passage in context. | **Light and dark themes** from one token system ([docs/DESIGN.md](docs/DESIGN.md)). |
+| ![Query console with the executed SQL and a chart of the result](docs/media/query-console.png) | ![An admin approving an agent's database query](docs/media/agent-approval.png) |
+| **Text-to-SQL.** A plain-language question becomes validated, read-only SQL; the result is charted. | **Approvals.** Gated agent tools wait for someone else with `db.approve`; nobody approves their own request. |
+| ![The agent's resumed answer citing the contract and the database](docs/media/agent-resumed.png) | ![The live Connections map](docs/media/connections-map.png) |
+| **Agents resume after approval** with the requester's permissions, citing documents and live data. | **Connections map.** Sources, indexes, models and agents, built from real resources and live events. |
+
 ## Highlights
 
 - **Multi-tenant by construction** — PostgreSQL Row-Level Security forced on every tenant table, transaction-scoped tenant context, non-superuser DB role enforced at startup, cross-tenant leakage tests.
