The admin was a section each for Home, About Us, Collections, Gallery, Collabs, Drops and Services, because the site's pages were a constant in site-map.ts and a developer was the only one who could add one. A page builder is going to replace that, so the nav stops enumerating pages. What is left is the two things a page is NOT: Layout — the shell every page renders inside — and Pages, listed but not built. Layout is first because it is first in the work: building pages before the frame they sit in means building them twice. The panel is a sketch of the page with the controls under it. Menu across the top, a body, the footer at the bottom, in the chosen colours and typefaces — the same principle the header editor already follows, where the admin renders the structure as the page will show it. It is honest about being a sketch: drawing the logo and the rules would be a second implementation of the layout, and the two would drift the first time either changed. Fonts are a mapping, not free text. styles.css already declares four ROLES — body, sub, title, display — and every template asks for a role rather than a typeface, so choosing a font is choosing which of the four faces the build subsets plays each part. The list travels with the payload rather than being copied here, because a picker offering a face the build never subsets renders as a fallback nobody chose. The per-page panels are NOT deleted. AboutPanel, HomePanel and RecordsPanel are still in the tree and still work; they are unreachable, which is a line in sections.ts rather than a rewrite. The page builder is not finished, and removing the only way to edit the live site's content before its replacement exists would leave a gap with nothing in it.

Fofos Admin
An Officer plugin. It puts the fofos website's admin inside Officer, as panels.
Status: nothing is built yet. This repository is a name and a README. What it will be is below, and the API it consumes already exists — see The other half.
What this is
fofos is a website with three surfaces in one process: a public site generated to static files, a JSON API, and an admin that has until now been its own server-rendered application on its own subdomain, behind its own password.
That third one is moving here. Editing the site becomes something you do inside Officer, with Officer's accounts, Officer's permissions and Officer's workspace — rather than a second login on a second domain that has to be told separately who is allowed in.
Why a plugin, rather than leaving it where it was
One place to sign in. The admin had its own argon2 passwords, its own session cookie and its own
/admin/setup bootstrap. All of it duplicated something Officer already does properly, and none of
it could be shared: a person given access to the machine still had to be given access to the admin,
separately, by hand.
Officer's permissions instead of a second answer. One grantable permission, per role, at read or write — the same page as every other plugin, with no special case to learn.
The site keeps its own data. This plugin stores nothing of the client's. Content, uploads and every photograph stay in fofos's own database and media store; the only thing in Officer's database is the connection to reach them. So deleting this plugin — with or without the "delete its data" checkbox — cannot lose a single line of copy or a single image. That is a deliberate property, not a happy accident.
What it will look like
A nav down the left and a detail panel beside it, following plugins/proxy-manager rather than
plugins/gitea — a list of sections over a remote service whose credential the plugin holds, which
is this problem exactly.
Nine sections, in the order they will be built:
| Messages | contact form submissions. Read only, and there is no delete |
| Site settings | partners, social links, contact details |
| About | one page of copy and a header photograph |
| Home | the hero, the intro, and an ordered gallery |
| Gallery · Drops · Collabs | pieces, each with ordered media |
| Collections | the nested one — collections hold items, items hold media |
| Services | a fixed tree. Content only: no adding, no removing, no reordering |
Messages is first on purpose. It is one read-only route, so it proves the whole path — Officer panel, through this plugin, to fofos and back — before anything harder is attempted.
The other half
The API this consumes is already built and running, in the fofos repository at /api/admin. It
covers all nine sections, authenticates with a bearer token, and its full route reference is in
docs/SURFACES.md.
It lives there rather than here for one reason worth stating: the query layer is the only thing the site and the admin share, and a plugin carrying its own copy of fofos's database schema would be a second definition of the same tables in a different repository, drifting from the day it was written. So this plugin holds a URL and a token and knows nothing about Postgres.
Configuration
One connection: where fofos is, and a token to reach it. Stored in a plugin-owned table, encrypted under this plugin's own purpose key, and never returned across the API boundary — to anybody, including the owner. A settings form asking "is one set" gets a boolean.
/_config is ownerOnly. The token is write authority over the whole public site, so while reading
what is on the site is reasonable to delegate, handing over the credential is not.
Not in the marketplace
This is a plugin for one website, and it is useless without that website. It installs from its git URL and has no catalogue entry.
Files
Nothing yet. What Officer requires, once there is something:
manifest.ts identity, the permission, ownerOnly on /_config
db/schema.ts ONE table: the fofos connection
api/router.ts mounted at /api/fofos-admin — forwards to fofos
web/panels.ts the panels. REQUIRED alongside web/
web/layout.ts how they are arranged. REQUIRED alongside web/
Presence is the declaration — Officer discovers a plugin by what is on disk, and manifest.ts holds
only what a directory listing cannot say. A web/ missing either of its two files is refused at
discovery, by name.
Conventions
master, not main.
Every colour is a semantic token — bg-muted, text-muted-foreground, border-border — and
never a Tailwind palette class. Palette classes do not follow the theme, so a plugin using them looks
correct under exactly one theme and wrong under the rest.
