feat(coach): attach multiple documents to a conversation

Replace the scalar document_id discriminator on a coach conversation with a
CoachConversationDocument join table and a sticky documentScoped flag, so a
conversation can be grounded on several stored documents at once while the
prompt-injection fence stays intact across the data-model change.

The fence is re-established at both enforcement points, fail-closed:

- Client: resolveCoachSendTarget routes any turn on a fenced conversation (or a
  fresh chat with staged attachments) to the new /api/insights/chat/fenced
  endpoint; the fenced body is strict and never carries scope, guided-question,
  or prefill hints.
- Server: the tool route fetches with documentScoped:false AND 404s when the
  fetched row still carries an attachment (flag/join drift), emitting a
  fence_drift audit alarm. Document text now enters an LLM prompt in exactly one
  code path — the fenced pipeline — with no tools and no health snapshot; a
  module-graph test pins that the tool loop is unreachable from it.

The fenced turn fences each document separately with a server-built, scrubbed
header line (title and filename are untrusted text), runs a per-document egress
consent check on the single picked provider, and grounds numerically over the
live attachment union only. Attachments are capped at five documents and 192 KB
of combined text with honest truncation.

Attach and detach ride dedicated endpoints: attaching validates the document is
owned, live, indexed, and within cap, then flips the conversation fenced (the
one legal, privilege-reducing transition, audit-logged); detaching removes the
document but never clears the flag. The document-sheet chat keeps its public
wire contract and shares the same fenced pipeline over the join.

Migration 0245 adds the join table and the flag, backfills every legacy
single-document chat into a one-attachment fenced conversation, and drops the
scalar column in the same transaction — no dual-truth window.

+ * document SHEET (path-keyed, single document).
  *
- * POST streams a grounded prose reply about a single document's text as
- * Server-Sent Events; GET reads the document's chat history. The conversation
- * persists (encrypted) as a `CoachConversation` with `documentId` set, reusing
- * the entire Coach message store, so re-opening the document shows the thread.
+ * POST streams a grounded prose reply as Server-Sent Events; GET reads the
+ * document's chat history. This route keeps its PUBLIC OpenAPI wire contract (the
+ * iOS client may hold it) but is reimplemented over the S7 data model: a
+ * sheet-started chat IS a one-attachment FENCED conversation
+ * (`CoachConversation.documentScoped = true` + a `CoachConversationDocument` join
+ * row for this document). The whole turn pipeline is shared with
+ * `POST /api/insights/chat/fenced` via `@/lib/documents/fenced-chat`, so the two
+ * cannot drift and the fence posture is identical.
  *
- * SECURITY MODEL (the heart of this feature — untrusted document text enters an
- * LLM prompt):
- *   - NO TOOLS. A single completion per turn, never the Coach tool loop. There
- *     is nothing an injected instruction could DO — no write, no other resource.
- *   - NO HEALTH SNAPSHOT (research D3). The ONLY context is this one document's
- *     text; the user's health record is never injected.
- *   - PROMPT-INJECTION FENCING. The document text is fenced as DATA via
- *     `fenceDocument` (marker pair + marker-scrubbing) inside the system prompt,
- *     which states the fenced content is a document to answer questions about,
- *     not instructions to follow. `detectRefusal` guards the inbound message and
- *     REPLAYS over every prior user turn on reload; `screenCoachReply` guards the
- *     outbound reply (dose-prescription / fabricated-risk-score).
- *   - NUMERIC GROUNDING. `findUnverifiedCoachNumbers`, pointed at the document's
- *     own numbers as the authoritative set, strips any figure the model invents.
- *   - CONSENT + BUDGET + RATE. `assertDocumentEgressConsent` (the document is
- *     sent to the provider) on the document-ordered pick (local-first, codex
- *     last), the shared AI budget ledger, and a per-user `document-chat` rate
- *     bucket. Answers render as PLAIN React text on the client (no markdown lib).
- *   - INDEXED DOCUMENTS ONLY. The chat is available only for a document that has
- *     been content-indexed (its text is the grounding); 422 otherwise.
+ * If the user later opens the thread in the coach and attaches a SECOND document,
+ * this path-keyed POST still resolves the conversation (it still holds a join row
+ * for the path id) and the reply grounds on ALL of its live attachments — one
+ * conversation object, consistent everywhere.
+ *
+ * SECURITY MODEL: see `fenced-chat.ts` — NO tools, NO health snapshot, every
+ * document fenced as untrusted DATA, per-document egress consent, numeric

+ * (`fenced-chat-module-graph.test.ts`) pins that so a future refactor cannot
+ * quietly wire document text into the tool path.
+ *

+ *   - NO TOOLS, NO SNAPSHOT — one completion per turn.
+ *   - PROMPT-INJECTION FENCING — every document fenced as DATA (`fenceDocument`),
+ *     per-doc header fields marker-scrubbed (`buildFencedChatSystemPrompt`).
+ *   - PER-DOCUMENT EGRESS CONSENT — the single picked provider (no cascade) is
+ *     consent-checked once per attached document; ALL must clear or the turn
+ *     refuses (403) BEFORE any egress and BEFORE the user turn is persisted.
+ *   - NUMERIC GROUNDING over the LIVE attachment union only — recomputed per turn
