# The documentation, triaged

**2026-08-13.** A map of what is in here, what it is for, and what should happen to it. Made because
there are 42 documents and 13,000 lines, and no way to tell from the filenames which describe the
system as it is and which are a record of an afternoon in July.

**How much I verified:** the classifications below are from filenames, status lines, and greps for
things that changed on 2026-08-13. Where I actually read the document or checked the code, it says
so. The rest is a starting point for a conversation, not a verdict.

## Living — these describe the system and must stay true

| doc | state |
| --- | --- |
| `working-on-officer.md` | **updated 2026-08-13.** Operational guide. |
| `secret-store.md` | **updated 2026-08-13.** Built; rotation still open. |
| `install-variants.md` | new. The branch tree, for discussion. |
| `http-secure-context-audit.md` | new. What breaks over plain http. |
| `install-container-testing.md` | new. First container pass and its findings. |
| `per-user-linux-accounts.md` | partly updated. `OFFICER_OS_USERS` is gone; check the rest. |
| `navigation-audit.md` | authoritative on routing. Unverified against tonight's route removals. |
| `workspace-panels.md` + `workspace-panel-todo.md` | the panel framework. 1,300 lines combined — likely the biggest cleanup here. |
| `agent-coordination.md` | the north star for panel work. |
| `deprovision-os-account.md` | implemented; the `'disabled'` stage it may mention was deleted tonight. |

## Stale — describe things that changed on 2026-08-13

Each of these references something that no longer exists. **Not yet corrected.**

- `sidecar-topology.md` — "ecosystem.config.cjs is the source of truth". It is generated now, and
  holds six processes.
- `sidecar-app-store.md` — derives the catalogue from `full − light`. Those files are gone, and
  `catalogue.test.ts` was rewritten.
- `sidecar-bootstrapping.md` — "20 PM2 entries, 18 sidecar dirs". Six entries now.
- `mobile-api-keys.md` — partly corrected; recheck the origin-checking claims.
- `wallet-key-custody.md` — `VAULT_STORE_KEY` is now the per-purpose `wallet` key.
- `push-notifications.md` — "agreed design, 2026-07-31". Notify is a plugin and unmounted.
- `chat-session-lifetime.md`, `chat-ui-walkthrough.md` — reference `officer-agent`, renamed.

## Historical — a record of a moment, and should stay one

Do **not** rewrite these to match today's code. They document how a decision was reached, and
editing them destroys the reasoning. If they mislead, add a dated header pointing forward.

- `sidecar-audit-2026-07.md` (1,377 lines)
- `claude-sidecar-isolation.md` — records the `officer-claude` → `officer-agent` rename that
  preceded tonight's `officer-agent` → `officer-claude-code`
- `open-threads-after-per-user-claude.md`
- `two-agent-field-report-2026-08-12.md`
- `api-method-changes-2026-08-06.md`

## The opencode cluster — nine documents for one migration

`opencode-fork-decision` · `-parity` · `-api-2-assessment` · `-phase0-review` · `-phase1-report` ·
`-phase1-review` · `-serve-migration-plan` · `-serve-path` · `-testing-checklist`

**The migration landed** — `opencode serve` is in the sidecar, verified. So
`opencode-serve-migration-plan.md` saying "Nothing here is implemented" is false.

This is the clearest consolidation candidate in the whole directory: one document recording what was
decided and what shipped, replacing nine that describe stages of getting there. I did not do it
because it needs reading all nine, and deleting documents unread is not a thing to do at 4am.

## The mobile-dav thread — three documents, one conversation

`mobile-dav-provisioning` · `-feedback` · `-reply`. A correspondence. Almost certainly one document.

## Unclassified — I have not looked

`design-language-interface` · `file-sync` · `jobs-unification` · `mobile-photo-sync-api` ·
`nextcloud-replacement` · `agent-git-identity`

---

## The plugin split, which affects most of the above

A core install is six processes. **Everything else is a plugin**, switched off tonight but present on
disk. Most documents here were written when the estate was twenty processes and every one of them was
simply "there", so they describe availability that no longer holds.

The useful rewrite is usually one line, not a rewrite: say whether the thing described is **core** or
**a plugin**, and if a plugin, that it is not mounted on a fresh install.
