-Slice: DFG-9 controlled application decision (complete)
-Goal: Decide from DFG-7 and DFG-8 evidence whether a developer-only canonical changeset application command is justified.
-In scope: Review read-only and proposal workflow evidence; define the exact human authorization boundary; evaluate repeated integration work; require clean base hashes and repeat validation; and either specify one narrow application command or record manual integration as permanent policy.
-Out of scope: OpenClaw canonical application; automatic commit, push, deployment, or publication; arbitrary commands; accounts; HTTP transport; a web UI; and implementation before the evidence review supports it.
-Done when: The project records either a proven narrow developer-only application contract or a reasoned decision to keep proposals manually integrated.
-Owners: DocForge owns proposal evidence and generic safety constraints. Each project owns canonical source semantics and integration policy. A developer retains authorization, review, build, Git, and publication ownership.
-Decision: Manual canonical integration is the permanent DocForge 0.x policy. No application command was added.
-Proof: DFG-8 required one reviewed content replacement after DocForge had already validated, diffed, and previewed the proposal. It completed without failure or material repeated work. An application command would add canonical writers, authorization, rollback, and project-format ownership without measured need. Existing protocol and proposal tests prove that MCP and proposal workflows cannot alter canonical sources.

 # Completed slices
 
+## DFG-10 project-bound graph visualization
+
+### Changed
+
+- Added the fixed `docforge_visualize` MCP read tool to generic, read-only adapter, and
+  proposal-enabled adapter servers.
+- Added the built-in `graph-browser@1` HTML/CSS/JavaScript template with project overview, family
+  filtering, lexical search, exact node content, and bounded neighborhood traversal.
+- Bound the ephemeral HTTP listener to `127.0.0.1` on an operating-system-selected port.
+- Added an unguessable per-process URL token and rejected every non-token path.
+- Exposed only fixed `GET` and `HEAD` endpoints. Rejected POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.
+- Validated the complete project and index once per MCP invocation, then served fast queries from
+  the exact validated SQLite snapshot.
+- Rejected index replacement or alteration after launch and required reinvocation to refresh.
+- Accepted no project root, database path, SQL, template path, bind address, command, or renderer.
+- Released the capability as DocForge 0.7.0 without changing canonical-write policy.
+
+### Verification
+
+- Protocol tests exercised the new tool through the official in-memory MCP transport.
+- HTTP tests proved token confinement, loopback binding, security headers, read-only methods,
+  deterministic results, exact node retrieval, and snapshot invalidation.
+- Cross-project tests ran two simultaneous visualization servers and proved separate project data,
+  ports, tokens, and indexes.
+- The complete warning-strict DocForge suite passed.
+- Ani-web proof loaded 3,289 nodes and 6,292 edges. After one full validation, the graph overview
+  returned in approximately 0.30 seconds and a node neighborhood in approximately 0.03 seconds.
+
+### Limits
+
+- The browser is a validated index snapshot, not a live canonical-file watcher.
+- It is reachable only from the machine running the MCP process.
+- It does not persist, publish, or externally host a visualization.
+- It does not infer relationships beyond the configured project's graph.
+
+### Next gate
+
+No further gate is planned. Measure actual graph-browser use before adding layout modes, exports,
+remote access, or project-declared visualization templates.

+## Project-bound graph visualization
+
+The fixed `docforge_visualize` MCP tool starts one ephemeral read-only graph browser for the
+server's already-configured project. It accepts only an optional stable node ID, an optional lexical
+query, and a bounded traversal depth. It does not accept a project root, database path, SQL,
+template path, bind address, command, or renderer.
+
+The runner validates the complete canonical projection and derived index before it starts. It then
+pins the browser to that exact validated SQLite file identity and project metadata so normal UI
+queries do not rebuild a large adapter graph. Replacement or alteration of the index file makes the
+browser fail closed; the user must invoke the tool again. The browser identifies itself as a
+validated snapshot rather than claiming that canonical files are continuously monitored.
+
+The HTTP listener binds to `127.0.0.1` on an operating-system-selected port. A cryptographically
+random token is part of every accepted URL path. Only `GET` and `HEAD` are supported. Responses use
+no-store caching, a restrictive content-security policy, frame denial, MIME sniffing protection,
+and no-referrer policy. The built-in template uses only same-origin JSON endpoints for graph
+overview, bounded search, exact node content, and bounded incoming-and-outgoing neighborhoods.
+There is no write endpoint, arbitrary query endpoint, static filesystem handler, external asset,
+or project-selection control.
+
+One MCP process owns at most one listener. Repeated invocations reuse it and may replace its
+validated snapshot only after a fresh index check. The listener stops with the MCP process.
+Project-specific integrations receive the same tool because it operates on the supplied
+`ProjectService` and `ProjectIndex`, not the generic source loader.
