+# 2026.08.29.03 — the todo board leaves, and a plugin can claim a file type
+
+**No schema change and no dependency change.** Verified rather than assumed:
+
+```bash
+git diff --name-only deploy/2026.08.29.02..deploy/2026.08.29.03 | grep -iE 'schema|/db/|databases'   # nothing
+git diff --stat deploy/2026.08.29.02..deploy/2026.08.29.03 -- package.json bun.lock                  # nothing
+```
+
+So **no `bun db:push` and no `bun install` step exist in this plan, and neither should be improvised.**
+Ten commits, all code.
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **`/todos` is gone from the platform.** It is now the `kanban` plugin, in the marketplace. The
+  `todos` permission, the route, the screen and the board were all removed.
+- **A plugin can claim a file type.** A manifest may declare `fileTypes`; the file browser then offers
+  thumbnails and a full-size render for formats the platform itself cannot read. av-club claims
+  `heic`/`heif`, so on a host with av-club installed, iPhone photographs get pictures instead of file
+  icons and open in the viewer.
+- Thumbnails retry rather than giving up, and list and grid ask for the same size.
+- The directory picker moved into the platform so more than one plugin can use it.
+
+## A behaviour change to expect, and it is deliberate
+
+**`/todos` now 404s.** Anyone with it bookmarked gets nothing. The board is the `kanban` plugin, which
+is in the marketplace and installed nowhere by default — that is the intended state, not an oversight.
+
+`role_permissions` rows naming `todos` are now orphaned. Harmless: absence denies, and the registry no
+longer has the key. **Do not clean them up as part of this rollout** — it is a data edit nobody asked
+for, and a row naming a permission that does not exist grants nothing.
+
+## Every host — the commands
+
+The standard steps in `prompts/deploy-commander.md` are the whole rollout this time (dirty check,
+`git fetch origin --tags`, `git merge --ff-only deploy/2026.08.29.03`, `bun run plugins:update`), plus:
+
+```bash
+pm2 restart officer
+```
+
+`officer` only — `plugins:update` has already restarted the plugin sidecars.
+
+### Verify it came back
+
+`pm2 jlist`: `officer` online and `restart_time` moved, then `/api/health` on the host's own port
+(9010 on `macbookpro` and `production-pertento-bridge`, 9000 elsewhere). `200` or `401` are healthy.
+
+### And check the file browser still lists
+
+This release touched the listing route, so one call per host is worth it:
+
+```bash
+bun -e "
+const { sign } = await import('./src/servers/jwt');
+const t = await sign({ id: 1, email: '<the owner on this host>' }, '2m');
+const r = await fetch('http://127.0.0.1:<PORT>/api/file-browser/ls?root=home&path=/', { headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer ' + t } });
+const b = await r.json(); console.log(r.status, (b.entries ?? []).length + ' entries');
+process.exit(0)"
+```
+
+A `200` with a plausible count. **A 500 here is a failed host** — report it and move on.
+
+## Per host
+
+Surveyed 2026-08-29 while writing this.
+
+| Host | Note |
+| --- | --- |
+| `officer-dev` | **SKIP ENTIRELY.** The rollout runs here and it is already at this code. Name it as skipped. |
+| `alpha` | No av-club, so no HEIC support — expected, not a fault. |
+| `fofos` | **The only host with av-club installed**, and already at this commit and verified: 6 HEICs thumbnail and one renders at full size. Bring it to the tag so its HEAD matches the fleet. |
+| `macbookpro` | macOS, port **9010**, a laptop. Unreachable is a SKIP with a note. |
+| `macbruno` | macOS, login `brunoalcadapadezmonteirodaconceicao`. |
+| `production-pertento-bridge` | Port **9010**. Its `pg_dump` is older than its server — irrelevant here, since this release takes no backup and touches no schema. |
+| `edge-pertento-bridge` | Did not answer the survey while this plan was written. It may simply have been busy; treat it as an ordinary target and report what you find. |
+| `deadpool-rezio-bridge` | Login **`br`**, checkout `/home/br/officerdev/platform`. |
+
+## What "done" looks like
+
+Per host: HEAD before and after, `plugins:update` result, `officer` back online with a moved
+`restart_time`, and the `ls` check's output.
+
+Nothing in this release needs a database query, a backup or an install. If you find yourself running
+one, stop — the plan is wrong and that is worth reporting rather than working around.
