 * HAL 9000 has contributed the Invariant Data Model and Database Schema (PR #8701 / issue #8524): SQLAlchemy ORM model with fields id (UUID), description (text), created_at (timestamp), and is_active (bool); Alembic migration creating the invariants table with index on is_active for efficient active-query filtering; BDD Behave unit tests and Robot Framework integration tests.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the ACMS execute phase ContextAssemblyPipeline wiring (PR #10027): replaces the base ``ACMSPipeline`` default with ``ContextAssemblyPipeline`` in ``ACMSExecutePhaseContextAssembler``, enabling production Phase 1 components (confidence-weighted strategy selection, proportional budget allocation, parallel execution with circuit breaking) and per-stage timing instrumentation by default. Includes Behave test coverage verifying the default pipeline type.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the path containment security hardening fix (PR #7801 / issue #7478): replaced insecure ``str.startswith(root + "/")`` string-prefix path containment checks with semantic ``os.path.relpath`` comparisons in ``tool/path_mapper.py`` (_is_under) and ``application/services/llm_actors.py`` (_write_to_sandbox), eliminating the sibling-directory prefix-collision path traversal bypass vulnerability.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the data-integrity fix for ProjectRepository (#8179): removed unconditional ``session.rollback()`` calls from exception handlers in ``ProjectRepository.create()`` and ``NamespacedProjectRepository.create/update/delete``, delegating transaction rollback to the Unit of Work outer-layer handler where it belongs.
