Booking/inspection/maintenance/outbox dates were authored as absolute
timestamps around a fixed 2026-08-01 anchor and never re-anchored at
seed/reset time, so demo scenarios (e.g. BK-DEMO-RETURN) silently drifted
into the past. Every reset now shifts seeded dates by (today - authored
anchor); dashboard's "today" filter uses real wall-clock time instead of
the now-removed frozen demo_today setting. Adds seed-validation tests
proving scenarios S1/S2/S4/S5 are present and internally consistent after
every reset.
Four read-only, service-token-protected MCP provider endpoints (operations summary, attention vehicles, vehicle details, knowledge search facade). Shared-secret auth reusing the M4 callback pattern. Service-request audit trail for every call. Extracted shared operations-summary logic out of the dashboard router to avoid duplicating retrieval logic. 66 backend tests passing, ruff clean. Verified all four endpoints and audit trail directly via curl against the live stack (no live MCP Hub instance available in this environment).
Outbox dispatcher (background thread, FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED claim, exponential backoff, no transaction held during HTTP I/O). n8n callback endpoint with shared-secret auth and idempotency by event ID. Automation nav + UI with manual retry. 49 backend tests passing, ruff clean. Fixed a crash-on-redelivery bug in seeded outbox payloads and made the dispatcher defensive against malformed payloads. Verified the full live round trip against a real n8n instance: return -> outbox -> dispatcher -> n8n workflow -> callback -> succeeded, including the S5 failed-retry demo scenario.
