The #5558 fix took the job lock INSIDE the threadpool worker and only on the add path, so (1) remove_directory and /reload mutated PersonalDocsManager's unsynchronized list/index concurrently with an in-flight add — the inconsistent state the PR claimed to prevent — and (2) a queued add blocked on the lock while holding an AnyIO threadpool token, starving the shared pool. Move the lock to an asyncio.Lock acquired in the async handler BEFORE offloading, and route add, remove and reload through it. A waiting request now parks on the event loop instead of pinning a worker, and all three mutators are serialized so the 'add/remove are serialized and cannot leave inconsistent state' guarantee holds. remove and reload also run their blocking work off the event loop. The lock is per-router so each app binds it to its own loop; single-process scope. Tests: add-vs-remove and add-vs-reload serialization regressions (async via ASGITransport, since asyncio.Lock deadlocks starlette TestClient's portal); the existing add-vs-add test converted to the same driver.

Contributing
Help is welcome. The best entry points are fresh-install testing, provider setup bugs, mobile/editor polish, docs, and small focused refactors. See CONTRIBUTING.md and ROADMAP.md.
Security
Odysseus is a self-hosted workspace with powerful local tools. Keep auth enabled, keep private data out of Git, and do not expose raw model/service ports publicly. Deployment details are in the setup guide.
