+| D-018 | D-017 extended: AC14 cap < 1400 lines — final projected amendment | Third §12.14 amendment, pre-P4 per the P3 verify planning signal: 1178/1200 after P3 with 21 lines headroom vs P4's ~105-140 line need (creds adapter + secrets endpoint, the LAST broker-surface additions); P5 adds only excluded artifacts (tests, README).

 - **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.

+# Reference Tools
+
+Templates for Open WebUI tool authors wiring tools to the CoreCI Broker.
+They contain no secrets and no live-infrastructure client.
+
+- `proxmox_readonly_reference.py` - the full broker flow (spec section 11):
+  first call registers and persists agent state, then fetches
+  `coreci/proxmox`; later calls load the persisted token via `get_state`.
+- `minimal_auth_showcase.py` - the minimal pattern: authenticate with the
+  broker, then use a second tool.
+
+The flow both templates follow:
+
+1. The CEO allowlists the tool's app UUID and user id in the broker UI.
+2. Fetch the client from `/static/coreci_broker_client.py` and import it.
+3. `ensure_registered(state)` registers (idempotent) and merges the token
+   into your state dict; `put_state(state)` persists it as the tool's
+   only durable state channel.
+4. `read_secret("coreci/<agent_id>", state)` fetches the credential; on a
+   401 the client re-registers and retries once.
+
+Downstream calls default to a safe dry-run with no live credential use;
+replace the dry-run block with real calls in your own tool.
+
+Client module: `coreci_broker_client.py` (stdlib urllib only, zero deps).
