 - **REQ-14 `.env` config + first boot.** The broker reads its `.env` at `BROKER_ENV_PATH` on boot (spec §5.1 contract plus the documented additions). On first boot it generates `BROKER_INSTANCE_PEPPER` (32 random bytes, base64 — synced to SQLite) and `BROKER_ADMIN_PASS` (32+ random chars), writes them to `.env`, and prints the admin pass to the startup log exactly once — never again.
 - **REQ-15 Mode 0600.** `broker.db` and `broker.audit.log` are created mode 0600, owned by the Open WebUI process user. `.env.secrets` discipline (ciagent) mirrors this.
 - **REQ-16 Persistence across restarts.** SQLite and the audit file are the durable state. Restarts preserve registrations, allowlist entries, sessions' data, and audit history; in-memory caches (verified-token cache) rebuild lazily; existing tokens still verify.
-- **REQ-17 Single-file constraint.** `coreci_broker.py` is one Python file under **1000** lines (amended from 800 by owner decision D-016, P2 2026-10-10), excluding tests, UI HTML, the client module, and reference tools. A line-count test enforces it (AC14).
+- **REQ-17 Single-file constraint.** `coreci_broker.py` is one Python file under **1400** lines (amended 800→1000 D-016, →1200 D-017, →1400 D-018 — owner-approved §12.14 amendment pattern, final projected), excluding tests, UI HTML, the client module, and reference tools. A line-count test enforces it (AC14).
 - **REQ-18 Runtime modes.** Importable as an Open WebUI workspace tool (daemon-thread server + a `Tools` class surface) and runnable standalone (`python3 coreci_broker.py`). Stdlib-only at runtime; bcrypt is the sole optional import (D-001/D-009). Tests use unittest against an in-process server on an ephemeral port.
