pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 177394fb76 Stop becomes Kill when the job ignores it
A background job that ignores SIGTERM could not be stopped from the UI at all.
Stop sends SIGTERM to every pid holding the job's output file, and the second
click sent the same signal again — task-restart.ts already said "that is what
the second click is for", and it was not. Reported after a job hung in another
chat.

The button now escalates instead of a second button appearing beside it. Press
Stop, and if the job is still running three seconds later the same control
becomes Kill in the destructive tone, and sends SIGKILL.

Escalating rather than always offering Kill, because a permanent Kill button is
a second destructive control competing with the first, and people reach for it
by default — losing the graceful shutdown that usually works. The delay is the
same argument: a clean exit takes well under a second, so offering Kill at once
teaches everyone to press it first.

`?force=1` on the existing DELETE rather than a second route: same verb on the
same thing, differing only in how hard it asks. The member path escalates too —
one `kill -KILL` run as them, since fuser and the kill must both be their own
identity.

Stated in the button's own title rather than hidden: SIGKILL gives the process
no chance to release a port or take its children with it. That is the right
trade for a hang and the reason it is not offered first.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0fd89082fe an uninstalled plugin's grants stop breaking the permissions screen
Uninstalling music left its grants in role_permissions. The keys stop existing
when the plugin unmounts, so the settings page — which loads every grant and
submits them all back — failed with "Unknown permission 'music'" for a row
nobody could see, edit or remove through the UI. Nothing could be saved again
without editing the database.

Two changes, because either alone leaves half the problem.

Uninstall now revokes the plugin's grants, across every role rather than one. A
deliberate exception to "uninstall deletes nothing": a grant is the PLATFORM's
record of who may reach the plugin, not anything the plugin stored. Reinstalling
means granting again, which is the honest behaviour — the alternative is access
silently returning.

And the write DROPS an unknown key instead of refusing the request, so every
server already in this state is unblocked without touching its database. That is
what the resolver already does on read, so the write now agrees with it. The
cost is that a typo in a hand-made API call is ignored rather than reported —
worth less than a settings page that cannot be used. The response returns what
was dropped, so it is not silent.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b9524ee4d5 prefix the env with OFFICERDEV_, and keep reading the bare names
PORT, PUBLIC_URL and POSTGRES_URL are names half the software in the world
uses. Bun auto-loads .env into EVERY process started in the platform directory,
so a bare PORT reaches the sidecars, the tools they spawn and anything an agent
runs from here — and a bare POSTGRES_URL reaches things with no business
holding a database credential.

Four parts.

officer-setup now writes OFFICERDEV_-prefixed names, with the reasoning in the
generated file so whoever opens it later knows why.

Every consumer reads `OFFICERDEV_X ?? X` — eleven sites across the databases,
the DAV router, officer-url.mjs, os-user-postgres and two scripts. The bare
name is the FALLBACK, never the source, which is what makes this safe to ship
before every machine has been converted.

`bun run fix:env` converts a file in place. Idempotent, preserves comments and
`export`, leaves the value untouched including an `=` inside it, and refuses to
touch names belonging to other software — prefixing PATH or NODE_ENV does not
rename a variable, it deletes it.

And it runs on every restart from the server settings screen. There rather than
at boot because a restart is the one moment the file can be rewritten and take
effect in the same breath: the process about to start is the one that reads it.
Non-fatal, since the fallback means the worst case is that nothing changed.

gen-index reads either spelling out of the file directly, because it is run by
hand as often as by the setup and a bare shell has no .env loaded.

Verified by converting this machine's own .env: PORT, PUBLIC_URL and the
database all still resolve, gen:index still finds its URL, 1152 pass.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b27410a6fc sign in with an email or a username
Only an address worked, though usernames are already unique and already
validated as /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$/ — which is what makes this safe: no `@`, so
the two namespaces cannot overlap and there is nothing to guess. An `@` decides
which lookup runs, and it decides it exactly.

The field is still called `email` on the wire, because every client sends that
name and renaming it would break them for nothing.

Fixed a latent bug while passing: the JWT took `email` from the REQUEST rather
than the row. Identical while an address was the only way in — and a username
in the `email` claim the moment it was not, leaving the DAV door, the managed
home path and everything else keyed on email looking up a user who does not
exist.

The login field is `type="text"`, not `type="email"`, or the browser refuses to
submit a username and validates someone out of an account they have.
`autoComplete="username"`, which is what password managers store beside a
password for a field that takes either.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d49776307d gitea, extracted into plugins/gitea — the platform half
Eleventh extraction, and the only one that deleted its UI instead of moving it.
Seventeen files under apps/Gitea/ reimplemented a fraction of an interface
Gitea already has; the plugin renders the real one in an iframe over a
same-origin proxy.

Deleting rather than moving removed a platform change nobody now has to build:
useGiteaLocation read :owner/:name/:tab/:item from five route patterns where a
plugin gets two, so an as-is extraction would have required teaching the plugin
system to declare extra route patterns. Nothing inside an iframe needs a route.

Nothing working was lost. The router had been commented out of hono.ts since
2026-08-13 with api: [], and officer-gitea was running nowhere — the screen
rendered and every request 404'd, like soulseek, jellyfin and invoices before
it.

Gitea also stops being a CORE DOCK ITEM. It was hardcoded in CORE_DOCK_ITEMS,
the only installable feature that was, on the reasoning that it fronts a remote
instance and installs nothing locally. As a plugin its tile arrives from
assets/icon.png like every other — which is also why the icon added to
public/icons/ this morning was reverted rather than kept.

'gitea' stays in the ServiceName union: the connection lives in core
service_connections, and gitea is the reason that table has its "member rows
carry only a token and inherit the owner's URL" shape at all.

registry.test.ts's grantable-permission test named gitea as "the case this was
built for"; a plugin's permissions are registered at install and are never in
that compile-time list, so it now names a core one. catalogue.test.ts
re-anchored to vnc/notify.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4b2c896523 ship the capabilities repository, and update it from the same button as plugins
capabilities/ is the file-based item store, and most of it belongs to the
owner: the six item directories are created by the platform at boot and
extensions/tool-loader is written from platform source, so neither is tracked
anywhere. What IS tracked is the small set the platform ships — today one
affordance, telling an agent that markdown images render and that the USER'S
DEVICE fetches the URL, which it cannot discover from the filesystem.

That now lives in officerdev/capabilities, public so a fresh install can clone
it without credentials.

Two ways in. The setup script syncs it during the layout step — non-fatal, and
it says what an install without it costs rather than failing: agents go back to
guessing, which is what they did before this existed. And "Update all" on the
marketplace screen carries it alongside the plugins, because it is the same
question — get me what has been published since I installed — and a second
different gesture for it is one nobody remembers.

Three states in both places, and the third is the normal one on an existing
machine: a checkout is pulled, an empty directory is cloned into, and a
directory that already holds the platform's generated items gets a repository
initialised around them. UNTRACKED files never block a pull, because the
owner's own skills and tools living here is the ordinary state — only tracked
changes do.

`cloned` and `adopted` are reported in the UI where `pulled` is not: they mean
this machine had no affordances at all until the button was pressed.

Verified against the real checkout: sync reports pulled, and the loader finds
officer/core/image-rendering afterwards.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 3ef078210a update a plugin, or all of them, from the marketplace
There was no update path. fetchPlugin REFUSES an existing directory — cloning
over one is how uncommitted work disappears — so install was a one-way door,
and the answer to "my plugin changed" was uninstall and reinstall, which drops
its tables on the way past.

An update is a git pull and then the ORDINARY install path. installPlugin
already skips the clone when the directory is present and re-runs everything
else: os dependencies, schema push, assets, the ecosystem entry, the sidecar,
the remount and the frontend rebuild. So there is no second implementation of
"apply a plugin" here to drift from the first.

Two refusals, both about not destroying work. A dirty working tree is refused
rather than stashed or force-pulled — every plugin directory on a developer's
machine is a live checkout, and this repository's own are edited in place.
Non-fast-forward is refused for the same reason: a diverged local commit is
somebody's work and merging it automatically is not the platform's decision.

The per-plugin button replaces one that was quietly broken: it appeared only
when `outdated` and called `install`, which cannot fetch, so it re-applied
stale code. Nothing bumps a version today either, so with everything pinned at
1.0.0 that flag never fires and the button never appeared. Now always offered,
and it pulls.

Update-all is a plain POST rather than the streaming door: twelve interleaved
step streams is not a readable log, and the useful answer is the summary. It
runs sequentially — each update pushes schema, republishes assets, rewrites the
ecosystem file and rebuilds the frontend, and two of those at once is a race
over one file each. One failure does not stop the rest, and failures are named
with their reason, because "2 failed" sends someone to the terminal.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 bbb16d6ed3 bitcoin-wallet, extracted into plugins/bitcoin-wallet — the platform half
Tenth extraction, and the first where the blocker was a permission rather than
a path. The wallet was kind: 'admin' — owner only, never grantable — and plugin
permissions are always kind: 'app'. mount.ts forces that and the manifest has
no field for anything else, deliberately, so a plugin cannot ask to be
restricted. Extraction therefore could not preserve admin.

Raised before moving any code, because turning "the server owner's bitcoin"
into a row in the grants list beside Photos and Music is the kind of change
nobody notices until someone ticks it.

Made anyway, and the objection inverts: every wallet query is scoped by
user_id, taken from X-Officer-User which the platform injects from the session,
so granting the permission gives an account its OWN wallet rather than access
to anyone else's — including to the owner, whose bypass covers permission
checks and not query scoping. kind: 'admin' was single-user thinking.

Named bitcoin-wallet, not wallet: appName drives route, API prefix, table
prefix and install key together, so the name should say what it is. Tables are
bitcoin_wallet_*; the prefix guard normalises the hyphen. Verified free before
committing to it — no wallet table exists on any server, and db:push would
treat a rename as a drop plus a create.

registry.test.ts re-anchored: `wallet` was its canonical kind: 'admin' fixture
and its no-selfService fixture. Now user-admin/server-admin and terminal, with
a note that a plugin's permissions are always `app` — which is exactly why this
one needed a decision rather than a default.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f566fda0b2 invoices, extracted into plugins/invoices — the platform half
Ninth extraction, third resurrection. Switched off since 2026-08-13 with the
permission reduced to api: [], so assertPermissionTotality was satisfied, the
server booted clean, and every panel request 404'd. Closes the same data hazard
as jellyfin and soulseek: invoiceshelf/schema was commented out of the drizzle
barrel.

Named `invoices`, not `invoiceshelf`. The appName is THE id — API prefix,
frontend route, table prefix, sidecar suffix, install key — and before
extraction the API (/api/invoiceshelf) and the screen (/invoices) had drifted
apart, which was harmless only while they were separate hardcoded strings. The
route is the part a person sees, and the permission key and label were already
`invoices`, so the API prefix was the odd one out. Cost three call sites and a
table rename to invoices_accounts, which was free only because the table
existed on no server — verified before deciding, not after.

members.test.ts re-anchored again, this time to caldav and memos: services with
no extraction planned. That assertion has now been re-pointed four times by
services leaving for plugins/, which is the whole reason installer.test.ts was
made literal earlier tonight.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 aebd6ff0c0 jellyfin, extracted into plugins/jellyfin — the platform half
Eighth extraction, second resurrection. Same shape as soulseek: hono.ts had the
router import and its PROTECTED_MOUNTS entry commented out since 2026-08-13 and
the permission reduced to api: [], so assertPermissionTotality was satisfied,
the server booted clean, and every panel request 404'd. Also closes the same
data hazard — jellyfin_servers was absent from the drizzle barrel, so bun
db:push would have dropped it.

No frontend call site needed repointing: mountPrefix derives /jellyfin from the
appName, which is what the router already hardcoded.

Test fixtures fixed properly rather than re-anchored again. Extracting jellyfin
broke 18 tests, the FOURTH extraction in a row to break the same files — photos
and transmission yesterday, slskd an hour ago, jellyfin now. installer.test.ts
now builds literal CatalogueEntry fixtures and asks the catalogue nothing: it
pins planSteps and runInstall, which are installer logic, and a service leaving
for plugins/ says nothing about whether the installer still plans the right
steps. catalogue.test.ts stays the place real entries are checked well-formed.
members/catalogue/preflight re-anchored to memos, which has jellyfin's exact
shape.

The .prettierignore rule for the vendored hls.mjs moved into the plugin rather
than being left behind naming a deleted path.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b196c9cb55 soulseek, extracted into plugins/soulseek — the platform half
Seventh extraction, and the first of something that was already dead. Soulseek
had been switched off since 2026-08-13: hono.ts carried the router import and
its PROTECTED_MOUNTS entry commented out, so createSidecarProxy never ran and
registerProxiedPrefix was never called; officer-slskd was not in the ecosystem
at all. Because the permission entry had been reduced to api: [], the totality
check was satisfied and the server booted clean — the UI rendered and every
request 404'd. Worth naming: the boot check proves every MOUNTED prefix has a
permission, and is silent about a feature that mounts nothing.

Also closes a live data hazard: schema.ts had the soulseek export commented
out, so the three tables were absent from the drizzle barrel and bun db:push
would have dropped soulseek_favorites, soulseek_browse_snapshots and
soulseek_browse_dirs on any server holding them. rebuild-soulseek-tree.ts
documented the workaround rather than the problem; deleted with the rest.

The connection stays in core service_connections under service 'slskd' while
the mount is now /api/soulseek. Those differ on purpose.

Test fixtures: slskd was canonical in three app-store tests, the third
extraction running to break them. installer.test.ts now builds a literal
fixture instead of reaching into the catalogue — it pins planSteps, which is
installer logic, and no catalogue entry is both provisioned and members:'none'
any more. catalogue.test.ts and members.test.ts re-anchored to vnc/notify/gitea.

Unrelated but mine: check:theme caught 5 palette classes I introduced in
CommandHQ earlier tonight against a baseline of 0. Converted to bg-success /
bg-warning. check:theme is not part of bun test, which is why the green suite
never showed it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f8028364f1 transmission, extracted into plugins/transmission — the platform half
Sixth extraction, straight after photos. Everything transmission now lives at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/transmission.

Deleted, not commented: the sidecar, the api router, the Transmission app (28
files including detail/ and dialogs/), the screen, the App.tsx route pair, the
Dashboard barrel line, the usePageTitle rule, the AppRegistry wiring, the
officerdev barrel re-exports, the permission registry entry, the hono.ts import
and mount comments, and the app-store catalogue entry.

No database change: transmission owns no tables. Its connection lives in
service_connections, a core table it now depends on from outside — a real
coupling, recorded in the plugin's own PLUGIN.md rather than left to be
discovered.

── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──

Transmission was the canonical `members: 'none'` fixture — a single-tenant
daemon with no user concept — across three app-store test files. slskd has the
identical shape, so the assertions moved there. Deleting them would have
quietly dropped coverage of the no-members install path along with the plugin,
which is the same trap the vault extraction hit with `members: 'invite'`.

── Vocabulary swept, per the runbook ──

Six screens and two App.tsx comments pointed at `/photos` or `/transmission` as
the worked example of the Workspace/Panel shape. Both are plugins now, so those
pointers dangled at code no longer in the tree. Repointed at /command-hq and
/soulseek, which are core.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a327dfc82c photos, extracted into plugins/photos — the platform half
Fifth extraction, and the clean case: no reverse dependency, configuration
already server-side, frontend already panels. Everything photos now lives at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/photos.

Deleted, not commented: the sidecar, the api router, the db directory, the
Photos app (25 files), the screen, the App.tsx route pair, the Dashboard
barrel line, the usePageTitle rule, the AppRegistry wiring, the officerdev
barrel re-exports, the permission registry entry, both database barrels, the
hono.ts import comment, and the app-store catalogue entry.

The catalogue deletion is required rather than tidying — the trap the runbook
records as having bitten twice. permissionAvailability() derives from
sidecar_installs, which a plugin never gets a row in, so a leftover entry makes
the permission permanently 'unavailable' and withholds the route and dock tile
on a server where the plugin is installed and working.

── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──

Photos was the canonical app-store fixture across four test files, chosen for
being existing|provisioned with members: 'accounts'. Jellyfin has the identical
shape, so the assertions moved there — they are about the installer, not about
photos, and deleting them would have quietly dropped coverage of the provisioned
install path along with the plugin.

One loss worth naming: Immich's `provisioned` install mode went with the
catalogue entry. Docker provisioning for plugins does not exist yet, so photos
is point-at-your-own-instance until it does.

bunx tsgo clean. 1080 pass / 0 fail, unchanged.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f6a1194905 vault, extracted into plugins/vault — the platform half
Fourth extraction, after offscale, music and email. Everything vault is now at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/vault and installs from the marketplace; this commit
is what the platform stopped knowing.

Deleted, not commented: both routers, the sidecar, the db directory, the
hono.ts mounts/imports, server.tsx's ws import + handler entry + four
route-table entries, '/vault' from UNPROTECTED_API_PREFIXES, both entries in
totality.ts's exemption lists, both database barrels, and the app-store
catalogue entry.

The catalogue deletion is required rather than tidying — the trap the runbook
records as having bitten twice. permissionAvailability() derives from
sidecar_installs, which a plugin never gets a row in, so a leftover entry makes
the permission permanently 'unavailable' and withholds the route and dock tile
on a server where the plugin is installed and working.

── The one new piece of platform: src/servers/account-lifecycle.ts ──

Three auth handlers (signout, distress, panic) imported clearVaultTokens and
clearVaultUnlockKey directly. That is the security property behind the distress
and panic buttons — "someone got in, make the vault need a master password
again" — so it could not just be dropped, and a plugin cannot be imported by
core.

Rejected: having core DELETE from the plugin's tables by name. It removes the
import but moves the coupling somewhere worse — core would depend on a plugin's
SCHEMA, so renaming a column would silently stop the wipe. A security property
that fails silently on an unrelated change is the failure mode to design
against. (docs/email-plugin-extraction.md took that shape for READING a
plugin's data, where a stale answer is a missing feature rather than a lock
left open. The stakes decide it, not the pattern.)

Taken instead: core announces 'signout' | 'distress' | 'panic' with a user id,
and anything holding per-account state subscribes. ~30 lines, fire-and-forget,
one listener's failure cannot stop another. Core names no plugin, no table and
no column; a listener that is not there is a plugin that is not installed. The
severity mapping moved into the plugin — signout keeps the protector key,
distress and panic drop it — so the behaviour is unchanged.

── Two things deleted rather than carried, both dark since 2026-08-13 ──

The unauthenticated Bitwarden passthrough (/vaultwarden plus four root
prefixes and an /api/* header diverter). A plugin's routes mount into
protectedRouter at /api/<name>, behind the account gate; top-level
unauthenticated prefixes are not something a manifest can declare, and the Bun
route table they need entries in is built once at serve(). Keeping it meant
core naming /vaultwarden and /identity in its own route table — the vocabulary
leak the runbook forbids, for a path its own comments called TEMPORARY pending
a first-party browser extension. Owner's call: nice to have, not a requirement.

The notifications websocket, for the same reason plus a second: no plugin owns
a socket on this platform yet (server.reload({routes}) proven, never called;
handlers in server.tsx is a static map). Music parked cliamp/ for exactly this.
SignalR degrades to HTTP long-polling by itself, so clients still sync.

── Tests ──

Vault was the ONLY members: 'invite' catalogue entry, so deleting it would have
silently dropped coverage of that branch in plannedOutcome. It is now tested
against a synthetic entry instead: deleting an assertion along with the last
real user of a case is how a switch arm stops being covered without anyone
deciding it should.

bunx tsgo clean (verified it really does cover plugins/ by injecting a
deliberate error and watching it fail). Suite back at its 7 pre-existing
baseline failures — none of them this feature's, all confirmed unrelated
(the totality ones are about 'desktop'). 85 test files, unchanged, per the
runbook's trap about a moved test vanishing silently.

Needs `bun db:push` and a restart before installing, then point it at a
Vaultwarden from /vault — VAULTWARDEN_URL in .env is no longer read.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f77a41d26a command hq: delete a commander, from the grid card and the detail bar
DELETE /command-hq/commanders/:sessionId — deletes the transcript itself via
deleteClaudeSession (the same function DELETE /chat/sessions/:id calls, so a
/clear chain goes with it, every part), then the command_hq_sessions row via
deleteCommandHqSession (existing, exported, never previously called from a
route — its docstring said as much: "no product path to this yet").

Deliberately real deletion, not an unfile-back-to-/chat path — there still
isn't one of those, and this doesn't create one. Documented next to "The
/chat <-> /command-hq relationship" so it doesn't read as contradicting the
"a session never moves the other direction" rule directly above it.

Frontend: both the grid card and the detail bar's meta row get an inline
confirm (trash icon -> check/cancel), same shape as ChatHistory's own
SessionRow delete. The grid card's delete control is a sibling of the card's
<Link>, not nested inside it, per docs/navigation-audit.md — the card is a
stretched full-cover Link (absolute inset-0, default stacking) with the
delete control in its own stacking context (z-10) on top of it, so the card
stays click-anywhere except where the trash icon sits. Deleting the commander
currently open in the detail panel navigates back to the bare list rather
than leaving it pointed at a 404.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 963c965056 command hq: auto-name a commander from its watcher's own task description
The initial title (the mechanics preamble, truncated, when a background job is
the very first message) is expected — that's just Claude Code naming the
session from its first message, same as always. But by the time the watcher's
task actually starts, the harness has already handed it a real description
("Watch google.com reachability" for a ping watcher), and that reads far
better than the preamble ever will.

Hooked into the exact moment pendingArmWatcher is consumed — the FIRST arm,
never a self-re-arm, which the watcher-loop code already had to distinguish
for its own reasons. Resolves a fresh ChatIdentity via resolveHomeDir and
calls renameClaudeSession with msg.description. Best-effort: a failure is
logged and does not touch watcherArmed.

Known gap, noted in the doc rather than fixed: the detail panel's title bar
is fetched once on mount and won't live-refresh when this fires while it's
open. The grid's cards don't have this problem since GET /commanders already
polls every 15s.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 764ba23206 command hq: per-turn cost ledger, watcher fires as their own table
The owner asked for individual turn token/dollar costs, a running total, cost
over time, and cost per trigger — derived, not stored, following the same
rule `running` already uses. Two new tables carry it:

- command_hq_watcher_fires: one row per trigger (sessionRowId, taskId,
  firedAt). Replaces the single watcherLastFiredAt column, which lost the
  previous fire's timestamp every time a new one landed — fine for "when did
  it last fire", useless for "how many times, and what did each one cost".
- command_hq_turns: one row per completed turn (sessionRowId, fireId
  nullable, inputTokens, outputTokens, totalUsd). Nothing pre-summed —
  running total, cost-over-time and cost-per-trigger are all queries over
  this table. Turn count needed no column either: COUNT(*) already answers
  it, confirmed explicitly with the owner rather than assumed.

command_hq_sessions gains watcherArmedAt/watcherStoppedAt in place of any
"last fired" cache — set only on the false<->true transitions, so duration
(current run, or the last completed one) is computable without a full
transition history table.

Two new read routes, GET /commanders/:sessionId/turns and .../fires, expose
the raw series behind the cost summary and watcherLastFiredAt (now computed
via MAX(fired_at), not read off a column — the field survives in the JSON
response under the same name).

Bug found and fixed while wiring this up, recorded in docs/command-hq.md:
recordCommandHqWatcherFired's signature changed from (userId, sessionId) to
(sessionRowId, taskId) and one call site kept the old argument order —
tsgo stayed clean because number/string still matched structurally. Caught

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 624d67ed52 watcher loop: the agent re-arms itself, same turn — final mechanism, confirmed against real usage
second correction to the re-arm design tonight, and this one came from the
owner, not from me. my plan (platform sends a synthetic follow-up turn once
the acting turn's result lands, instructing re-arm) was technically sound —
it keeps the agent inside the sdk's own Monitor tracking, which is the thing
the FIRST wrong plan (silent respawn) broke — but it costs a real extra turn
every cycle. pushed back on with hard evidence: the mobile dev's own
watcher, on this repo, this session, had been running with THEM re-arming
themselves, same turn, for hours already — zero failures. that beats a
reliability concern I raised without having tested it.

so: handoffContract now instructs the agent to re-arm itself, as the last
action of the SAME turn that handles the notification — no synthetic turn,
no platform spawn, no extra cost. exitContract's handoff branch corrected to
match (was still saying "the harness re-arms a firing on its own", exactly
backwards now).

server side simplifies to match: createMessageHandler's task:started hook
now handles both cases with one rule — pendingArmWatcher (session-object
flag, not closure-captured, since arming happens turns after the closure
was built) claims the FIRST task:started as the watcher; every SUBSEQUENT
task:started while already armed is read as the agent's own self-re-arm and
just updates watcherTaskId to match. task:notification records the fire
when it matches the tracked id. the platform never drives anything — it
only notices what the agent already did.

pulled COMMS/command-hq/mobile-3.md, which answered the PREVIOUS (synthetic
turn) version — crossed in transit. their transcript-bloat concern is moot
now (no synthetic turn exists to bloat anything). their `watcherArmed &&
!running` detectable-failure pair stands regardless of which mechanism won
and is exactly right — kept as-is, matches their own three-state dot
(running/armed-but-not/neither). replied in platform.md.

all four proposal items now built: prompt+dialog, stopped-vs-died, the
re-arm mechanism (this commit), arming state+plumbing.

bunx tsgo clean, suite unchanged (1038 pass, same 7 pre-existing baseline
failures).

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f369b4ca18 watcher loop: arming state and end-to-end plumbing, item 3's mechanism found wrong before writing it
item 4 first (schema + plumbing), ahead of the proposal's own suggested
order, because item 3's trigger needed somewhere to write to before it could
be tested at all.

command_hq_sessions gains watcherArmed/watcherTaskId/watcherLastFiredAt.
watcherArmed is allowed to be stored unlike `running` — it's the owner's own
intent, not a live-process fact nothing external can silently falsify the
way a sidecar restart falsifies running. armCommandHqWatcher/
recordCommandHqWatcherFired/disarmCommandHqWatcher in queries.ts, exposed on
GET /commanders, GET /commanders/:sessionId, and PATCH accepts
{watcherArmed:false} to disarm (arming itself has no route — needs a live
task id only a running turn has).

armWatcher threaded the full client-to-server path: BackgroundJobDialog ->
sendWithHiddenPrefix -> QueuedPrompt -> sendPrompt's new last param -> the
chat websocket message -> ClientMessage -> startClaudeTurn's msg. typechecks
end to end, consumed NOWHERE yet — safely inert, not a shipped mechanism.

the real finding: my plan to reuse task-restart.ts's restartBackgroundTask
for the actual re-arm trigger is wrong, and I caught it before writing it
rather than after. that function respawns a process OUTSIDE the sdk's own
Monitor tracking — chat.ts's restart route emits its own task:notification
via emitToSession specifically because the harness stopped watching that
process. it updates the ui; it cannot reach back into the agent's context,
because there's no mechanism by which it could. a handoff watcher needs the
opposite — the agent must be TOLD again when it fires again, which only
happens through the sdk's own notification delivery, which only exists for
a job the sdk itself is still tracking.

so re-arming can't be a silent platform respawn. it has to drive the AGENT
to reissue its own run_in_background/Monitor call — the platform's job is
making that automatic and correct (right command via commandForTask, right
moment, no double-arm), not doing the reissuing itself. likely shape: a
synthetic follow-up turn, not from the user, once the acting turn's result
lands. not implemented — raised with the owner before building around a
wrong assumption a second time tonight.

docs/command-hq.md corrected to match — the earlier "reuse restartBackgroundTask"
claim removed and replaced with what's actually true.

bunx tsgo clean, suite unchanged at baseline (1038 pass, same 7

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f810bdc48e command hq: displayText, caught by the mobile side before either of us ran this
mobile-2.md found it: a commander created to become a background job sends
buildBackgroundJobPrompt's full mechanics as `prompt` — a page of preamble,
the owner's actual sentence only at the end — and command_hq_sessions has no
name column, so the title comes straight from `(displayText ?? prompt).slice(0,100)`.
without it every such commander titles itself with the mechanics text, and
the grid becomes a column of identical unreadable cards. same precedence the
websocket path already uses on both clients (sendWithHiddenPrefix on web,
useSessionView.ts on mobile) — now the same on this endpoint too.

fixed before either side had run this against a real server, so there's
nothing to clean up on a live grid.

also confirmed rather than assumed, per mobile's other note: cwd cannot be
talked into a different one on this path. resolveChatCwd's command-hq branch
ignores msg.cwd unconditionally and this endpoint never sets it.

replied in COMMS/command-hq/platform.md. also read watcher-loop-proposal.md
(exit/act/drain/re-arm as harness infrastructure, "Andre's call" to build it
before first tests) — not starting it off a COMMS note alone, taking it to
the owner directly since it's a real scope addition beyond what tonight's
command hq build was scoped to.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7ad64445ee command hq: POST /commanders/new, for a client that cannot open the websocket
mobile's need, decided with the owner in COMMS/command-hq/mobile.md, now
built: { prompt (required), categoryId? } -> { sessionId, cwd }, sessionId
being claude's REAL transcript id, not a placeholder.

the owner confirmed prompt is required and described why: a commander
usually starts as an ordinary back-and-forth before a background job is ever
armed via the existing dialog, sometimes it's just "you know what to do" —
either way there's always a real first message, same as any conversation.
no empty-commander case to design around.

getting a real transcript id costs actually starting the turn, since claude
assigns one only once system.init has been reported. extracted the
turn-starting half of handleClaudeCodeChat into startClaudeTurn(ws: ... |
null, ..., onOutcome?) so both the websocket path and this endpoint drive
one spawn function instead of two that drift — handleClaudeCodeChat is now
a thin wrapper with an unchanged signature. onOutcome mirrors every
sendToClient(ws, {type:'error',...}) refusal point (member not signed in,
claude not installed, spawn failure) plus the session:claude success case,
so an http caller gets the real reason instead of a generic 30s timeout.

the category-write race: fileAsCommander (same hook the web path uses,
since context: 'command-hq' is set either way) always files with no
category. the endpoint's own createCommandHqSession is upsert-safe
regardless of which insert wins, and an unconditional setCommandHqSessionCategory
UPDATE runs after — always last, always wins, so the requested category is
what's left standing no matter the race.

said plainly in COMMS/command-hq/platform.md: this refactor of live spawn
machinery did not get the second-pair-of-eyes review i said i wanted before
touching it. bunx tsgo clean, suite at the same 7 pre-existing baseline
failures. not exercised against a running server on either side yet.

docs/command-hq.md updated throughout — API table, "how a commander is
created", "still open" now empty of blockers.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e9b1ce5e94 command hq: the web creation path, and a member could not have used it
`context: 'command-hq'` on a chat websocket turn now resolves to
getCommandersDir(email) regardless of any client cwd, and the row gets
written the moment a real transcript id is known — the same
session:claude/result seed chat_session_models already waits on, a sibling
closure (fileAsCommander) hung off the same two triggers.

found while wiring it, not guessed at: a member's commander turn would have
failed to spawn at all. getCommandersDir is a sibling of home, and
confineUserTree confines every sibling of home to 700 owned by the service
user — unreachable "even by name" — which is exactly wrong for a directory a
member's own turn needs to cd into via setpriv. same shape of bug
resolveChatCwd already tells a story about (general_chat_sessions,
abandoned for the same reason). fixed by chowning commanders/ to the member
the same way confineUserTree already chowns home, and excluding it from the
loop that confines every other sibling. no ACL needed, unlike home — command
hq reads a member's transcripts through listTranscriptsAs, the same
as-the-member read /chat already uses, never as the service user directly.

the gap this leaves: an account provisioned before this commit needs one
manual reprovision (provision-linux-route.ts / manage-users.ts, already
idempotent) before its first commander turn works. documented, not silently
left.

pulled COMMS/command-hq/{mobile,watchers-what-broke}.md from the mobile
side's session — apps/commandhq already exists and typechecks against the
router. their finding: mobile cannot create a commander the way the web
composer does (a context flag two independent clients would have to carry
correctly), and decided with the owner on POST /command-hq/commanders/new
instead. not built server-side yet — the real blocker is that claude does
not assign a transcript id until a turn actually runs, so the endpoint has
to run one and wait for session:claude, which means extracting the
turn-starting half of handleClaudeChat rather than a second copy of it.
replied in COMMS/command-hq/platform.md with the two open questions before
building it (prompt omitted, and wanting a second look at that refactor).

docs/command-hq.md updated throughout to say plainly what's built vs planned
per path (web vs mobile) rather than one blended status.

bunx tsgo clean. suite at baseline (same 7 pre-existing failures).
confineUserTree has no unit tests today (sudo/uid-dependent, matching this
file's existing coverage posture) — not inventing a new harness for one
block inside it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 eb94af87f4 command hq: the api, mounted and documented
full REST surface for categories, tags and commanders. core permission
(personal: ['/'], no grant to hold — every query is scoped to the caller's
own user_id at the sql layer regardless). registered in the permission
registry and PROTECTED_MOUNTS together, so totality holds by construction.

GET /commanders is the grid endpoint: everything /chat/sessions already
returns per session, plus categoryId/tagIds/running. `running` is derived
live off collectRunningTasks (now exported from websocket.ts) folded over
chat_session_events — not a stored column, on purpose, matching the design
doc's stance that a status field would go stale exactly when a sidecar
restart silently kills a watcher.

GET /commanders/:sessionId deliberately does NOT duplicate the transcript —
that stays GET /chat/sessions/:id, unchanged. a client calls both.

/chat/sessions now excludes anything filed as a commander (listCommandHqSessionIds,
.catch()'d so a hiccup on this feature can't take the whole chat list down)
— the other half of the one predicate this whole design turns on.

there is deliberately no POST /commanders/new: creation is an ordinary chat
turn in the commanders directory, which is the next commit.

docs/command-hq.md gains an API reference table for the mobile dev, and a
status line at the top saying plainly what is real and what is not yet:
needs `bun db:push` before any route returns real data, frontend not
started.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 3cc9df27d7 a failed usage write must not discard the reading
the panel rendered "Not signed in" over an account that was signed in fine.
cause: `snapshotClaudeUsage` had the read and the write in ONE try block, so
on a machine that had not run `db:push` the upsert threw on a missing
`ai_provider_usage`, the catch returned null, and a perfectly good reading
went in the bin. the route then merged null into an empty stored list and
answered with no accounts at all.

which makes the claim in docs/ai-usage-panel.md — "degrades to no tabs
rather than a 500" — false as written. the stored half is an ENHANCEMENT: it
buys tabs for accounts that cannot be measured, and an enhancement that
fails must cost only itself.

so the write gets its own try and the reading is returned either way.

observed on this machine rather than reasoned about: to_regclass came back
null, and the regression test fails against the old shape (verified by
reverting it, not by assuming).

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 9745f54fa1 cache usage per ai account, so a switched-away account still answers
half a usage reading cannot be taken for an account you are not signed into.
the limits come from anthropic's oauth endpoint using the credential the cli
holds for the CURRENT login, and the tokens come from that login's
transcripts — switch accounts and the previous one is not slow to read, it
is unreadable.

so: `ai_provider_usage`, keyed (user_id, ai_provider, email_account), with a
snapshot taken at the end of every turn. fire-and-forget off the `result`
message, owner-gated, capped by the reader's own 60s cache so a burst of
short turns is not a burst of 150MB scans.

the panel gains tabs, one per account. GET /chat/usage now answers from
postgres alone — instant, and it carries the accounts that cannot be
measured — and ?refresh=1 re-measures the signed-in one and writes it back.
the client fires both and swaps.

the reason a stale row is worth showing rather than apologising for is that
`resetsAt` is an ABSOLUTE instant. a row from six hours ago has an as-of
percentage and an exactly correct "resets in 14h 20m", ticked client-side
with no network. and where a window has rolled over since, `currentLimit`
reads it as 0% — the stored figure is not merely stale there, it is wrong in
the direction that matters, since the account is actually free. weekly rolls
forward to its next boundary (the length is in the kind, so that is
arithmetic); session does not, because the five-hour window starts on first
use rather than on a grid and there is no clock to count down.

fetchedAt is now the older of the two halves rather than a stamp at the end,
so a cached reading does not report itself as current.

needs `bun db:push`. degrades to no tabs without it rather than a 500.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 dc68a289ff usage panel on the claude code pill
clicking the harness pill opens what claude code's own usage display shows:
session/weekly/scoped limits with reset countdowns, tokens by day for the
last week, tokens by model.

officer has none of these numbers and could not derive them. per-session
cost is in-memory in websocket.ts and dies on restart, and the rate-limit
windows belong to the ANTHROPIC ACCOUNT — spent by every `claude` on the
box, not only by this chat. so both halves come from the cli's own record:
the oauth usage endpoint for the windows, ~/.claude/projects for the tokens,
~/.claude.json for which account is signed in.

shape and the non-obvious correctness details are lifted from omarchy's
agents collector (basecamp/omarchy quattro, via pastilhas.agents which adds
the account email): dedup by message id, the four token counters, the
per-payload percent-vs-fraction scale, and reading the model-scoped window
out of limits[] rather than the flat buckets — every seven_day_* bucket is
null on this account while limits[] carries a real fable window. verified
against the live payload today; limitsFromPayload is tested against it.

owner-only in the handler, not the registry: `chat` is confined, so a member
holding it reaches every route here, and these are someone else's windows.
the pill falls back to the plain label it always was for anyone else and for
opencode.

442ms cold, 1ms warm on 87MB of transcripts; cached 60s server-side, and the
query only runs when the popover opens.

not exercised through http — the route needs an officer restart.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 77f90a91f0 show the model that answered instead of the bare harness string
the picker rendered the literal `claude-code` for any chat that named no
tier. that is DEFAULT_MODEL — the bare harness — and it routes correctly
(no --model is passed, so the cli picks for itself) but names no catalogue
entry, so radix matched no item and the fallback from 773f0e1c printed the
raw string's last segment.

officer cannot answer this because it deliberately did not choose. the
harness does, in its system.init `model` field, which the parser was
discarding. so: emit it as a `model:resolved` chat event, translate it to an
officer id in turn-stream, and forward it to the client only when the turn
named no tier.

that last condition is the load-bearing one. the alias map is lossy in one
direction — opus[1m] and opusplan both answer as claude-opus-5 — so
forwarding unconditionally would silently relabel a user's own choice as
plain opus.

display only, and three ways: not durable (like session:claude), never
recorded to chat_session_models, and never written into the client's
selectedModel or the reattach ref. storing it would pin a session to
whatever the cli defaulted to on its first turn, which is the freedom the
bare harness exists to preserve.

untested against a live turn — the parser and translator have unit tests,
the websocket gate does not.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 98c37c4ce9 email leaves the platform for plugins/email
the sidecar, the router, the table, the screens and the account manager are
gone from src/ entirely - deleted, not commented, because a commented mount is
what assertPermissionTotality cannot see.

three reverse imports had to go first, and they are what decided the boundary.
core may not import a plugin's queries, and one of these had already proved
why: getEmailAccounts was awaited at the top level of the agent sidecar, so
when the table went away on 2026-08-13 the rejection took officer-agent into a
pm2 restart loop with every live chat session inside it (fbb6d6c7).

both survivors now read the DISK instead. findEmailAccountName() in
data-path.ts picks the newest emails.db under an account's email_accounts/
directory - no import, no query, and nothing to throw when the plugin is not
installed. the layout was already the platform's, so this costs no coupling.
the agent keeps its email_db tool and an email-context chat still opens in the
right mailbox.

the google oauth callback no longer appends /email to the dock: a plugin's
route is the plugin's business.

app-store/catalogue.ts entry deleted, and that is the whole point rather than
tidying. permissionAvailability derives from sidecar_installs and a plugin only
ever gets a plugin_installs row, so a leftover entry makes the permission
permanently unavailable - denied route, no dock tile - on a machine where the
plugin is installed and healthy. it has bitten headscale and nearly music.

two app-store tests used email as their config-only fixture; repointed at
notify, which is the same shape.

google-auth stays in core and the plugin imports it via @@/. that direction is
allowed and google-auth knows nothing about mail.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 1b811dfa28 make plan mode reachable in chat
opusplan has been in the picker since 57bbcca9 and did nothing: it means
'Opus while planning, Sonnet at rest', and claude-manager hardcoded
permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions', so a session never entered plan mode
and opusplan rested forever on Sonnet.

verified against a real claude first (SDK 0.3.233), and one finding changed
the design: approving ExitPlanMode drops the harness into 'default', NOT back
into bypassPermissions, and the agent carries on inside the same turn. so the
restore is fired the moment approval is given rather than at turn end, and
canUseTool allows everything that is not ExitPlanMode - for a few hundred ms
it is the only thing between the agent and its tools, and a default-deny there
would jail an agent the platform deliberately does not jail.

canUseTool is passed always. under bypassPermissions the SDK shadows it
entirely (CLAUDE_SDK_CAN_USE_TOOL_SHADOWED) so it costs a log line, and since
it is a query() option read once, passing it unconditionally is what makes the
mode toggleable on a live conversation instead of only at session start.

sticky per session on chat_session_models.plan_mode, beside the model because
they are one decision about what a turn costs. boolean rather than the
PermissionMode string: officer exposes two of the five, and a text column would
accept three the sidecar cannot handle.

plan approval is the only place the agent blocks on officer - a canUseTool
promise held in the sidecar while the plan round-trips to a browser. every path
that ends a session or a turn settles it as refused, plus a 20m timeout, because
a leaked entry is a hung turn rather than a stale value.

not auto-entered for opusplan: the CLI does not either. the toggle says so
instead - 'opusplan rests on Sonnet, turn on Plan for Opus'.

pastilhas 773f0e1c8b never store a model the picker cannot render
The selected model went blank after a turn: visible only by opening the dropdown.

`officerModel` was coming back as `claude-code` — the bare harness. That is `DEFAULT_MODEL`, used when the
client sends no model and the user has no default. It ROUTES fine (isClaudeModel is a prefix test, and
split('/')[1] is undefined so the CLI picks its own), but it names no catalogue entry, so Radix's
`SelectValue` matched no item and rendered nothing.

It fed itself. A blank picker sends no model, so the next turn fell back to the bare harness again and
overwrote the real value — it destroyed a correctly backfilled `claude-code/opus` within one turn. My own
write path did that, added this afternoon.

Two changes. The server refuses to record a model with no tier: a bare harness means "no explicit choice",
and the honest response is to leave the previous answer alone rather than overwrite it with a non-answer.
And the trigger no longer trusts that its value names an item — an unmatchable value renders as its own
string instead of as an empty control, which also covers a retired model or a vanished OpenCode provider.

Repaired the one corrupted row in place by deleting it, so the transcript family fallback answers for that
session until its next real turn; it now reports claude-code/opus again.

pastilhas d59bc0d152 one sessions panel with three views
The /chat sidebar was two panels in a vertical 25/75 split — Live above, Sessions below — plus a directory
dropdown in the list header. Three problems that compounded: the Live panel was empty almost always, so a
quarter of the sidebar was permanently blank; the two panels had entirely disjoint indicators, so a
conversation with a turn running looked ordinary in the history; and the dropdown showed one directory at a
time, which turned "where was I working on that" into a search.

Now one panel, three tabs. Tree answers "what have I got, by project". Latest answers "what was I just
doing". Live answers "what is running". Same rows, same indicators, one place.

Tree is an accordion over /chat/pwds, each header carrying the full path from ~, the session count, and a
live count — plus New Chat here, since the tree only lists directories that already have history. A
COLLAPSED NODE ISSUES NO REQUEST: sessions are read by scanning transcripts off disk, and eager mounting
would be one scan per directory for rows nobody asked to see. `useClaudeSessions(cwd, {enabled})` is the
whole mechanism. The per-directory live count comes from the poll's own `cwd`, never from
`liveSessionTitle`, which reads a whole transcript and whose own comment warns against calling it from
anywhere hotter than a ten-second poll.

Latest needs a new server mode, `GET /chat/sessions?all=1` → `listAllClaudeSessions`. It loops directories
rather than scanning flat, because /clear chains are merged per group and a flat scan would let two
unrelated chains in different directories collapse into each other. Fetched only while the tab is showing.

Rows now carry the model, from the batched `getChatSessionModels` — one query per page, which is what that
query was added for.

THE MIGRATION IS THE DANGEROUS PART AND IT IS INVERTED. Every persisted layout still names `chat-live`, an
appType that no longer exists; `normalizeLayout` would collapse it onto the fallback and WRITE THAT BACK,
which is what made /offscale render three server pickers this morning (ed3806f9). The existing guard adopted
layouts LACKING the panel, so it had to flip to adopting layouts that HAVE it. defaultLayout.test.ts pins
both halves: the replacement must not contain the appType the guard tests for, or the effect fires on its
own output forever.

Deletes LiveSessions.tsx and PwdSelector.tsx — both replaced. Fixes the inherited bug in passing: the
"generating" Loader2 never had `animate-spin`, so the one indicator meaning "work is happening right now"
was a static icon.

View and expanded-node state go in localStorage, not the URL (a tab is a preference, and every session link
would carry it), not usePanelConfig (a NO-OP setter in a locked workspace, and /chat is locked), and not
useDashboardState (its PATCH only accepts layout-shaped objects). /chat/g/<path> still works and opens that
directory in the tree.

Untested against a running server: officer has not been restarted since these changes, and I am not
restarting it mid-conversation. `?all=1` and the model field are verified only by typecheck.

pastilhas fc67973876 record a resumed session's model when it switches, not when the turn ends
`createMessageHandler` is built per turn, so `transcriptId` started null on every one — and
`applyModelChange` runs before the turn emits anything, so the `model:switched` it produces arrived while
there was nothing to key the row on. A resumed conversation therefore recorded its model only on the closing
`result`, and a turn that died took the switch with it.

Observed rather than reasoned: the sidecar log said `claude-code/fable -> claude-code/opus[1m]` while the
stored row still said `claude-code/opus`.

Seeded from the resume id, which the Claude path already has in scope for the spawn. A brand-new
conversation still waits for `session:claude` — it has no id yet by definition — but resumed is the case
where switching actually happens.

Also lands docs/chat-sessions-list.md: the plan of record for the sessions-list revamp, agreed with the owner
today. Six numbered targets, four decisions with their reasoning, and the landmines — chiefly that merging
the two left-column panels strands `chat-live` in every persisted layout, which is the same stale-appType
shape that made /offscale render three server pickers this morning (ed3806f9). Written down because the shape
came out of a conversation, not out of the code.

pastilhas 813bc200bf a session remembers which model it is using
resume a conversation and the model picker showed the first entry in the catalogue instead of the model the
session was actually on. that was invisible for as long as the first entry was `opus`, and became obvious
the day `fable` went above it — so this is a pre-existing bug my model-list change exposed, not one it
introduced.

two defects, stacked.

the value did not survive a refresh: `initialModel` came from `props.model ?? locationState?.model`, and
both are volatile — a panel channel and react-router location state. on a hard load neither exists, the
settings default is skipped (it only runs for NEW chats), and ModelSelector's fallback effect fired
`onModelChange(providerModels[0].id)`.

and even when it did arrive it could not match. a transcript records the API model; the picker offers CLI
aliases. `claude-opus-5` is in a different id space from `claude-code/opus[1m]`, and the mapping is one-way:
opus and opus[1m] both serve claude-opus-5, opusplan serves whichever model answered. read out of a real
59MB transcript, the distinct values were claude-opus-5, <synthetic>, claude-sonnet-5,
claude-haiku-4-5-20251001, claude-fable-5 — note the synthetic marker and the inconsistent date suffix.

so the transcript cannot answer "what should the picker show", and a new table does:

  chat_session_models (session_id pk, model, updated_at)

officer's own id space, so opus[1m] and opusplan round-trip. keyed on the TRANSCRIPT uuid rather than
officer's session id, because that is what the session list joins on — which is why the write waits for the
harness to announce the id rather than firing at turn start. records the EFFECTIVE model, so a refused
switch stores what answered.

not derived from chat_session_events, which does now hold model:switched: right data, wrong index. that
table holds every assistant message and is unbounded, and "latest model for these 200 sessions" would scan
far more than the question deserves. not a chat_sessions table either — a session IS its transcript, and a
row holding title and cwd would be a second source of truth for two fields that already have one.

BACKFILL RUNS FROM postdb:push, so every server picks it up on its next schema push. bun does fire pre/post
hooks for colon-named scripts — verified on 1.3.14 before building on it, because a post hook that silently
never runs is the worst outcome here. insert-only, exits 0 on every failure path (the push has already
applied; a cosmetic backfill must not make it look failed). seeded 11 of 12 transcripts on this machine.

it reads the FIRST model, which sounds wrong for a table storing the current one — but switching only
became possible today, so no older transcript can hold two, and first costs a bounded head read instead of
reading 59MB.

also: the family map returns null for mythos rather than a neighbouring family (Project Glasswing only — a
picker entry that 401s is worse than none), and ModelSelector no longer picks a default once a conversation
has started. an unset picker is the honest state when the server cannot say.

tests: the alias map against the five real transcript values, and the selector's default gated on
hasStarted. re-broke the guard to confirm it bites.

still to do: `model` on the session LIST rows, which the sessions-list revamp wants. the storage and the
batched read (getChatSessionModels) are in place for it.

pastilhas 57bbcca9ae fable, and every model alias the CLI actually takes
the claude tier list had three entries — opus, sonnet, haiku — and the CLI accepts nine. `--help` says
`--model` takes either an alias for the latest model in a family or a full name, and the aliases the
INSTALLED cli accepts came out of its own binary with `strings` rather than from memory: default, opus,
sonnet, haiku, fable, mythos, opusplan, and a [1m] suffix on the families with a 1M-context variant.
verified against 2.1.233.

aliases rather than full ids (claude-opus-5) so a new model in a family needs no edit here. the cost is
that what `opus` resolves to moves under you — right for a picker, wrong for a reproducible eval.

mythos is deliberately left out: claude-mythos-5 is Project Glasswing only, and a picker entry that 401s
is worse than a missing one. the comment says how to add it.

opusplan is the one entry that is a MODE rather than a model — opus plans, sonnet executes.

NOT derived from the harness, though it could be: Query.supportedModels() returns the real list with
display names and effort levels, but it is a control request and needs a live session, and this endpoint
is what the composer calls before there is one. noted as open in the file.

the test pins the alias set and the property everything else rests on: claude-manager derives what it
hands the SDK with `split('/')[1]`, so a bracketed alias only works while the id has exactly one slash and
the brackets are unencoded. tidying an id into claude-code/opus/1m would fail as the harness quietly
running the wrong model, not as an error.
2026-08-17 14:28:13 +00:00
pastilhas 4c24df93c1 a chat can change model mid-conversation
the selector locked on `hasStarted`, so the tier was fixed for the life of a conversation. nothing
justified it — the commit that added the flag says only "default model" — and the hazard it resembles is
narrower than what it blocked: crossing HARNESS hands an opencode `ses_…` id to `claude --resume`, which
reads as a dead agent rather than a wrong dispatch. changing TIER was always safe.

so tier is free, harness is pinned, and the server refuses a crossing rather than relying on the UI to.

the claude side does it the way the CLI's /model does: `Query.setModel()`, a control request that needs
streaming input mode, which is the only mode this file uses. nothing is torn down and nothing is
re-resumed — cwd, permission mode and transcript all continue and only the next response changes. an
earlier plan here was to kill the session and re-create it with the stored resume id; that would have
worked and was unnecessary.

opencode already switched per turn (serve-runner POSTs the model to the live session), so only the UI was
in its way.

FIXES A SILENT MISMATCH while it is here. model reached the SDK once, in createSession's query() options,
and every later turn was pushed onto that same call — so a changed model was dropped while session:init,
the cost fold and the durable log all reported the new tier. reachable today by leaving a chat idle past
the 30-minute GC: the UI said sonnet, opus answered, nothing logged it. the fold now tracks what the
harness actually did rather than what the client asked for, and a refused switch reverts the picker.

the switch is a durable `model:switched` event and a centred marker in the transcript, because the useful
question is the BOUNDARY — which half of this conversation is opus. per-message model was already stamped
server-side and shown nowhere, and claude-sessions.ts reads the FIRST model in a transcript, so a switch
was invisible in history.

tests: turn-stream proves the marker is durable and lands after the previous model's last words; the
selector tests pull in opposite directions, so unlocking everything fails one and restoring the blanket
lock fails the other. verified by re-breaking both.

not done: opencode's `steer` path (a send mid-turn) returns before the model POST, so a switch there
applies on the next full turn. session.model also stays stale for opencode tier changes — harness routing
is unaffected.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0d29e242a3 themes are installable, like plugins
`platform/themes/<id>/` — untracked, same rule as `plugins/`, only the instructions
tracked. Drop a directory in and the theme appears in the picker on the next page load.

  themes/my-theme/theme.css     required — `[data-theme='my-theme'] { … }`
  themes/my-theme/theme.json    required — { name, family, dark }
  themes/my-theme/assets/       optional — wallpaper, logo

── Why this is cheaper than installing a plugin ──

A plugin is code: it needs a manifest module, mounting, and a frontend rebuild to reach
the bundler. A theme is a block of CSS custom properties, so it needs none of that. The
server reads the directory at request time and the client adds a `<link>`. No install
step, no rebuild, no restart — which is the whole reason this is eighty lines of
discovery rather than four hundred.

The id is the DIRECTORY NAME, not a manifest field, for the same reason a plugin's
`appName` is not one: an id that can disagree with where its files sit eventually will.
Discovery checks that the CSS actually targets its own directory name, because the
failure is otherwise silent — the theme appears, is selected, and nothing changes.

── Problems are reported, not swallowed ──

A malformed theme returns a reason rather than vanishing:

  broken-probe: theme.css does not target [data-theme='broken-probe']

The client logs those, so an author has somewhere to look instead of wondering why
their theme never appeared.

── Boundaries kept ──

The `theme` package still performs no IO. It gained an `extraThemes` prop; Officer
fetches and injects, exactly as it supplies the panel registry to `workspaces`. A
failure to fetch is not an error — no server, no session, no directory all mean "you get
the built-in themes", which is a complete product.

`/api/themes` is a `core` capability: read-only, and not deniable, because an account
that cannot read the theme list renders unstyled. Installing remains a directory on
disk; an upload endpoint would be a way to write arbitrary CSS into the page from a
request.

Verified in-process: listing, the problem report, CSS served as text/css, and a
traversal attempt answered 404.

── Needs a restart ──

Server-side change. Until then the client's fetch 404s and silently keeps the built-ins,
so nothing breaks in the meantime.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 997f7e7a87 the account stores a theme, not a colour mode
Your theme now follows the account instead of living in one browser's localStorage.
Choosing Plain on a laptop reaches the phone.

`appearance.colorMode` is superseded by `appearance.theme`. Along the way this
resolves a mismatch that had been sitting there: the server's default was
`appearance: { theme: 'light' }` while the client read `appearance.colorMode`, so that
default had never once been read by anything. Both sides say `theme` now.

The Light/Dark item is gone from the user menu. Light and dark are two themes, both
already in the list above it, and that toggle was the last writer of the legacy key.

── Two bugs found by testing this, both mine, both silent ──

**A default that looked like a choice.** `useSettings` returns `DEFAULT_SETTINGS`
until the request lands — `settings` is never null, it is a complete valid object. So
"wait for settings" fired on the first render against the defaults, marked itself
done, applied the default theme and never saw the real one. Then the persist side
wrote that default over the account's actual preference. It overwrote the owner's own
`dark` while I was testing it; restored by hand from the `colorMode` it had not yet
destroyed. `useSettings` now exposes `settingsLoaded` so the difference is expressible.

**Defaults masking a migration.** With that fixed, an account holding only
`colorMode: 'dark'` STILL came up light. The client merges `DEFAULT_SETTINGS` over
whatever arrives, so a missing `theme` is filled in with the default before any
consumer sees it — and a default is indistinguishable from a choice. The migration
therefore belongs on the SERVER, which sees the stored object before anything is
merged over it. It is read-only: a GET that rewrites the row on every call is a
surprise, and the client persists on its next change anyway.

Verified by putting the account into the pre-themes shape and asking the new handler
directly, rather than by restarting to find out:

  stored: {"colorMode":"dark"}  ->  returned: {"colorMode":"dark","theme":"duck-dark"}

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 690a726f55 a member's turn ran as the owner after any idle gap
This is the cause. Everything before it was symptom.

`handleChat` had two spawn call sites. The first, for a new session, passed `member`.
The second — "session already live" — was a separate object literal that did not.

That branch is taken whenever OFFICER still holds the session, and officer holds it
long after the SIDECAR has let go: the sidecar reaps a session after 30 minutes idle,
`_claudeKill` stays set here regardless. So a gap sent a turn with no identity to a
sidecar with nothing to push it onto, and it created a fresh session from those
params. No member means the owner.

    [claude:spawn:…] resume=49527b33… cwd=…/data/jg@pertento.ai/home as=owner

green is a Developer with their own Linux account, their own `claude` and their own
login. Every turn after a break ran as the OWNER: owner's HOME, owner's Anthropic
credential, owner's MCP config — which carries a JWT that signs as the owner. The
entire per-member boundary, undone by an omitted line in the branch nobody reads.

It surfaced as breakage rather than as silent escalation only by luck. The owner's
`claude` was handed the member's cwd — a 700 home it cannot enter — and the member's
transcript id, so it exited 1 instead of quietly working. Reported as "he went for a
walk and it stopped working", which is the idle timeout to the minute.

── The fix, and what it then found ──

Both paths now build from one `turnParams`, so they cannot drift again.

Then `member` was made REQUIRED-though-possibly-undefined in the protocol, and the
compiler immediately found three more sites that had left it out:

  - `agent-handoff/deliver.ts` — the same bug, worse. No member AND a cwd from
    `getOwnerHomeDir`, which ignores the email it is given. A member's agent panel ran
    as the owner in the owner's home. Now resolves identity like chat does.
  - `agents/agent-runner.ts`, `tasks/pipeline-executor.ts` — correct as they were:
    both are `kind: 'execution'`, owner-only and never grantable. They now say
    `member: undefined` explicitly, because a field you must fill in is a decision and
    a field you may omit is an accident.

`resolveTurnIdentity` is exported so "whose turn is this" has one implementation
rather than three.

── What I got wrong on the way ──

Three wrong answers first — the credential, the working directory, then a recovery
whose condition could never fire — each from reading code and reasoning instead of
making the system say what it was doing. The log line that found this took five
minutes to write and should have been the first thing I did, not the fourth.

Also: `--resume` by hand appeared to work twice, which is what sent me down the wrong
paths. It proved nothing. The id I tested was not the id the platform passed.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d771736a0d the preview panel follows the app's navigation
The panel knew one URL: the one you typed. Navigate three pages into an app and the
header still showed the front door, "open in a new tab" still went there, and a
reload — which fires by itself whenever a dev server restarts — threw away where you
were and started again at `/`.

Now the app reports where it is, and a reload composes it back.

── How the panel finds out ──

The frame is same-origin for a proxied preview, so `contentWindow.location` is
readable. It is PUSHED rather than read, because a dev server is an SPA: a route
change is `history.pushState`, which fires no event and never reloads the document.
Polling would have to be constant and would still lag. The script the proxy already
injects now patches `pushState`/`replaceState`, listens for `popstate`/`hashchange`,
and posts the path — with the proxy prefix stripped, since that is plumbing and the
panel should not have to know about it to show a URL.

Only proxied previews can do this. A cross-origin frame reports nothing, and grafting
a remembered path onto someone else's host would be inventing a URL, so `targetUrl`
composes only when there is a port.

── Two fields, and the loop that forced them ──

`url` is what you pointed the panel at; `current` is where it has got to. The obvious
design is one field — a browser has one address bar — and it feeds itself: the stored
value IS the iframe's `src`, so recording a route change hands the frame a new `src`
for the page it is already showing, which browsers treat as a navigation. Every click
would cost a reload.

Belt and braces, because one of the two would be enough only until someone changed
the other: the fields are separate, AND `PreviewFrame` captures its `src` at mount
and ignores later changes. Remount-by-key is still how a reload happens.

`ev.source` identifies which frame is talking. `message` is a window-level event and
two same-origin previews hear each other; comparing the posting window to this
iframe's `contentWindow` is exact, where matching on URL would break the moment two
panels pointed at the same port.

Writes are debounced 800ms. `useDashboardState.setValue` PATCHes the server on every
call and an SPA emits a route change per click; the value is only read at mount, so
being a second behind costs nothing.

Also: the header shows `localhost:3001/settings` rather than
`api/dev-proxy/3001/settings`, and editing starts from that — one is a thing you can
retype, the other is not.

── Tests ──

The reporter is RUN, not string-matched: `new Function` against a fake window, which
also means a syntax error in the injected script fails the suite rather than silently
breaking every proxied page. Covers prefix stripping, the app root reporting `/`
rather than empty, query and hash surviving, the report on load, pushState, and
popstate. Plus the composition helpers, including that an ordinary URL is never
composed with a path.

── One stale comment corrected while in there ──

The file claimed `allow-same-origin` "is present, and has to be". There is no
`sandbox` attribute at all, so nothing was present — and a sandbox with
`allow-same-origin` plus `allow-scripts` is worth roughly nothing anyway, since the
frame can remove its own sandbox attribute. Now says that.

Not verified against a live dev server through the real proxy — that needs the server
restarted with this code. tsgo clean, 934 pass / 7 fail unchanged, frontend builds.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 430346e14b a restarted job outlives the server that restarted it
The other half of the same report. The pill came back after a refresh, and then a
`pm2 restart officer` killed the dev server outright — because `restartBackgroundTask`
spawned it as a plain child of the platform. A job the AGENT starts is a child of the
`officer-claude-code` sidecar, a PM2 peer, so those were never affected. The tray
therefore showed two chips that looked identical and behaved differently, and the
restart button's own help text promised the opposite of what happened.

Measured against a throwaway PM2 app rather than reasoned about, because the two
plausible causes call for different fixes — a signal to the process GROUP, or a walk
of the process TREE:

    plain `sh -c`           killed
    `setsid sh -c`          killed     <- a new session is NOT enough
    `setsid --fork sh -c`   survived

PM2 walks the tree by ppid, so a new session leaves the job a child and it is found
anyway. `--fork` is what matters: setsid forks and its parent exits at once, so the
job is reparented to init before any restart can enumerate it.

── What that costs, and how it is paid ──

The handle `Bun.spawn` returns is now the setsid parent, which exits immediately.
Waiting on it reported every job as finished the moment it started, so exit detection
moved to `watchForExit`: poll who holds the output file, and when nobody does, read
the status the wrapper recorded. That is the same liveness question Stop and Pause
already ask, so it adds no second notion of "running" — and a paused job still holds
its file, so SIGSTOP correctly reads as running rather than as an exit.

Two details that would each have been a bug:

  - A GRACE PERIOD. Between the fork and the job opening its output there is a moment
    with no holders; polling into it announces a completion for a job that never ran.
  - The command is a POSITIONAL PARAMETER to the wrapper, not interpolated into it.
    Interpolation would let a command containing quotes terminate the wrapper's own
    quoting. Tested with `echo "quoted 'both' ways"`.

A missing status file is reported as a clean finish, not a failure: that is what Stop
looks like, and "you stopped it" is nearer the truth than "it crashed".

Also corrected the button text. It said background jobs survive "because they are
their own PM2 processes" — true of agent-started jobs, false of restarted ones, and
now the wrong reason for both. They survive because they are outside this process's
tree.

── Verified ──

End-to-end through `buildHonoApp`, on a synthetic task:

    POST /restart -> 200
    holders: pid 906186 (ppid 1, session leader), pid 906188 (ppid 906186)
             probe process was 906173 — in neither chain
    quotes survived the wrapper
    durable events: task:started -> task:notification (completed), exit file "0"

My own assertion in that probe was wrong and the output is what corrected it: it
demanded ppid 1 of EVERY holder, but only the session root is reparented — its own
children hang off it, which is the point.

Not in `bun test`: nothing in the suite touches Postgres or spawns processes.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b7d26a3350 a restarted background job survives a refresh
Reported as "I refreshed the page and the pill was gone, but the server is still
running and now I have no way to control it". Not a design choice — a bug, and it
came in with the restart button.

The tray is not stored anywhere. It is a fold over the durable chat event log:
`task:started` minus `task:notification`, per `collectRunningTasks`. That is what
rebuilds it after a refresh.

The restart route announced its respawn with `emitToSession`, which folds into the
in-memory session and writes to open sockets — and never called `appendChatEvent`.
So the pill existed only in the RAM of the browser tab that clicked the button. The
log still read:

    seq 10979  task:started       "Run dev server"
    seq 11362  task:notification  failed          <- the ORIGINAL dying

Folded on refresh that says "not running", so the chip vanished — while the process
it described was up and serving on 3001. And every task route takes an id, so the
job became unreachable from the UI at the moment the browser forgot the id. Stop,
Pause and Restart would all still have worked; nothing could name the task.

The second half was quieter: `emitToSession` returned false when the session was not
in memory, and the route ignored the return. A platform restart drops the in-memory
session while the job keeps running, so the announcement went nowhere AND was never
written down.

Now it appends first and unconditionally — persistence does not need a listener,
only delivery does — and sends with the seq the log assigned, so a client's replay
cursor stays correct. Both events: the `task:started` is awaited so it is durable
before the client is told the restart worked, and the exit notification is
fire-and-forget because it lands long after the response.

This makes officer a writer of `chat_session_events`, which the note in websocket.ts
said it no longer was. `cut-off` had already been that exception. The real rule is
narrower and is now written down: officer writes events it ORIGINATES, because no
sidecar will. Turn output still belongs to the harness that produced it.

── How it was verified ──

End-to-end, out of band: a synthetic task with a real process holding a real output
file, a transcript in the harness's shape, and the two durable events that reproduce
the reported log. Driven through `buildHonoApp` so the permission gate and auth
middleware were in the path — the last two bugs of this kind both passed tests that
mounted the router alone.

    BEFORE restart: 2 durable events -> tray would show 0 running   (bug reproduced)
    POST /restart  -> 200
    AFTER restart : 3 durable events -> tray would show 1 running

Not added to `bun test`: nothing in the suite touches Postgres, and this claim is
untestable without it. So this is a probe that ran once, not coverage.

Needs a server restart. tsgo clean, 919 pass / 7 fail unchanged.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 1426c3a856 rebuild the frontend without restarting, and restart when you must
Settings → System → Maintenance. Two buttons that are deliberately not a pair.

── Rebuild: real, and free ──

The same `rebuildFrontend` a plugin install already runs. `Bun.build` reads source
from disk on every call and writes `build/`, and the server serves that directory by
reading each file per request — so a rebuild lands on the next page load with no
process restart, no dropped websocket and no chat session lost.

── Restart: the only way to load server code, and it costs ──

Bun caches modules for the life of the process. Measured rather than assumed: editing
a file and re-importing returns the ORIGINAL export, and a cache-busting query picks
up that one specifier while everything it imports stays cached. So `rebuildHonoApp`
— which install already does — re-wires the same module instances into a new tree and
cannot see a backend edit. Busting the whole graph would duplicate singletons: two
database clients, two session maps, one process.

There is therefore no third button, and the screen says why. A "remount the API"
control would look like it reloaded the backend and would not.

The restart answers BEFORE it schedules itself, because the process serving that
request is the one being replaced. It refuses outright when PM2 does not know this
process — in development the platform runs under `bun --watch`, where the restart
would fail into a promise nobody awaits while the button reported success.

Verified: `POST /rebuild-frontend` → 200, 3.0s, 3 outputs; anonymous → 401. The
restart button is deliberately untested from here — pressing it would end the session
this was written in, which is the same reason it needs a label that says so.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 92bac490d7 attach a PDF and the agent reads it; the microphone button is gone
Two requests, one file apart.

── The microphone ──

Removed from the chat composer. The HOOK stays: `useAudioRecording` and `blobToWav`
are also the file browser's DictateDialog, which is not what was asked to go.

── PDFs, by not extracting anything ──

A PDF entry sat in the attach menu once with no `onSelect` at all — the menu offered
it and did nothing, because nothing here could extract PDF text. It is back and real,
and it still extracts nothing: the file is uploaded, left on disk, and the agent is
given its PATH. Its own `Read` handles PDFs by page, better than any extraction this
could have shipped, and it can go back for a section later without paying for it
twice.

The alternative was base64 in the message. That is megabytes in the turn, re-sent for
the rest of the conversation, to produce worse text.

── What this uncovered ──

`attachmentIds` has been on this websocket and in `types.ts` for a long time and
NOTHING on the server read it. Images work because they travel separately as base64,
so the ids were dead on the wire — and a PDF is exactly the case that needs them. They
resolve to paths now, appended to the prompt as `Attached files (read from disk)`.

Ids arrive in a websocket message and become a filesystem path, so they are checked
rather than trusted: only the `<uuid>.<ext>` shape uploads actually generate, and only
in the two directories uploads actually write to. Verified — a valid id resolves, an
unknown one yields nothing, and `../../../../etc/passwd` and `; rm -rf /` yield
nothing.

Both upload directories are searched because the first message of a chat carries ids
written to `tmp/` (no session yet) and later ones carry ids under the session.

PDFs may be 25 MB against an image's 5: nothing carries them into a prompt, so the
ceiling is storage rather than context.

The blank preview, and it was never the restarts. Bun's dev server emits

    href="/../../../chunk-qmw09gd9.css"

Root-absolute AND climbing. Prefixed naively that is
`/api/dev-proxy/3001/../../../chunk-…`, which the BROWSER normalises straight back
to `/chunk-…` — the platform root, where it 404s. Two failed asset requests, a

rewrite looked correct in isolation and was undone by whoever read it.

`..` is resolved by the consumer, so it has to be resolved before the prefix goes
on. Both halves do it now: `rewriteHtml` for what is written in the document, and
the injected script for URLs built at runtime, which Bun also emits in this shape.

Verified through the whole stack against the real app on 3001: document 200, both
assets 200 with `text/css` and `text/javascript` — where before they were 404s at
the platform root.

13 tests, and one of them asserts the failure rather than the fix: that
`/api/dev-proxy/3001/../../../chunk-x.css` really does resolve to `/chunk-x.css`.
Without that line the other tests look like arbitrary string manipulation.

── Separately, and not a bug in this code ──

Two processes were listening on 3001, holding DIFFERENT task output files
(`b0oe99a47` and `b6zat0x7e`) — two independent jobs, not one restarted. Bun allows
both to bind through SO_REUSEPORT, so requests were split between them and stopping
one legitimately left the other serving. That is worth knowing before reading a
Stop as broken, and it is the second time today SO_REUSEPORT has made a duplicate
invisible.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 bda5eb15de a job's controls can no longer freeze the platform
The server went down. It had not: it was STOPPED — eleven threads in state T, port
9000 still listening with connections queueing behind a process that would never
accept them. Indistinguishable from a crash unless you look, which is why it took a
terminal to see. `kill -CONT` brought it back with nothing lost.

I did it, with one missing line. `restartBackgroundTask` opened the job's output
file to hand the child a descriptor and never closed it, so the PLATFORM became a
holder of that file. `pidsHoldingFile` asks `fuser` who holds it — that is how Stop
finds a job with no recorded pid — so the platform was in the answer. The next Pause
sent SIGSTOP to it.

Every part worked as designed. Pause froze exactly what was holding the file, and
one of those things was the thing doing the freezing.

Two fixes, and the second matters more than the first:

**Close the descriptor.** The child gets its own duplicate at spawn, so closing
costs it nothing. That removes this instance.

**Never signal our own pids, whatever `fuser` says.** `pidsHoldingFile` now filters
`process.pid` and `process.ppid`. The leak is fixed; this is what makes the next one
survivable. Nothing that manages a job should be able to name the process doing the
managing — a rule worth having independently of the bug that suggested it.

Verified: after a restart this process holds the output file zero times, `fuser`
returns only the spawned shell and its child, and our own pid is filtered even when
present.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 19e75651e7 a restart runs the job in its own directory, or not at all
Restarting a `bun dev` belonging to a project in ~/dockers/officer-atelier started
the PLATFORM's dev server instead. The respawn passed no cwd, so it inherited the
server's own working directory, where `bun dev` means something else entirely.

The result was not an error. `bun --watch src/server.tsx` came up and bound port
9000 ALONGSIDE the running platform — Bun allows that through SO_REUSEPORT — so
requests were split at random between two instances of the platform. Confirmed on
the machine by ancestry: `sh -c bun dev` → `bun dev` → `bun --watch src/server.tsx`,
with two listeners on 9000. Stray killed; the real server was unaffected.

The information was there all along: every transcript entry carries `cwd`, and the
entry holding the tool call is the one that says where it ran. `commandForTask`
returns both now.

And when there is no cwd it REFUSES, rather than falling back to the server's own.
The fallback is what produced this, and it produced the worst outcome available —
not a failure, but a different program running successfully. A command is only
meaningful with the directory it was written for.

Verified with a job whose transcript says it ran in /tmp/cwd-probe-app: the restart
reports that directory and the respawned process prints it, reading a file that
exists only there.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fccabfcea3 the preview authorises itself before it mounts the frame
401 on every asset, white pane. The server was never wrong — replaying the exact
browser sequence with a minted owner token gave HTML 200, `set-cookie` present, and
the sub-resource authorised. So the fault was in how the frame got its credential,
and both mechanisms it relied on were guesses.

Putting the token on the iframe URL guesses which key the browser stored it under.
Letting the frame mount and hoping guesses that a cookie from some earlier load is
still there. When either guess misses, the HTML renders, every sub-resource 401s,
and the pane is white — which is the shape that makes this hard to read, because
the document loading looks like success.

So neither is used now. The panel asks `/api/dev-proxy/session` with the ordinary
API client — which already knows how to authenticate, because it sends the header on
every other call it makes — and mounts the frame only once that returns. The iframe
URL carries nothing. `iframeSrc` is deleted rather than left as a fallback: a second
path that runs when the first fails is how you get a bug that only appears
sometimes.

`Authorization` rather than a query parameter, so the token never reaches an
address, a log or a Referer. Re-run on every reload, so a preview left open
overnight recovers by itself instead of showing a wall of 401s.

── Also fixed: a lie attached to every binary asset ──

The non-rewritable branch returned the upstream's `content-encoding` and
`content-length` unchanged, but `fetch` had already decompressed the body — so the
browser was told to inflate plain bytes, with a length that no longer matched. The
rewrite branch had always deleted both. Images, fonts and wasm were affected;
nothing had hit it yet because the test app serves none.

Verified: `/session` 200 and sets the cookie with a token, 401 without; the frame
200 with the cookie, 401 with nothing.

`[open]` A request that escapes the prefix hits the SPA catch-all and returns
`200 text/html` instead of 404, so a `<script>` gets HTML, the MIME check refuses it
silently, and nothing appears as an error. That masks this entire class of bug and
is worth closing separately.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 73eb128fb1 pause, resume and restart a background job without asking the agent
Three buttons in the expanded task panel, beside Stop. Not on the chip: the panel
is where you decide what to do with a job, and a row of unlabelled glyphs on a pill
is where you misclick.

── Pause / Resume ──

SIGSTOP and SIGCONT — the only pair that means "stop doing things and keep
everything". The process keeps its memory, its open files and its bound port, and
picks up mid-instruction. Signals go to every pid holding the job's output file,
because for a shell job that is the shell AND what it spawned, and freezing one of
them would be worse than freezing neither.

Verified by watching a job that writes a line a second: 3 lines, frozen at 3 across
three seconds of pause, 6 after resume.

Worth knowing before pressing it: a paused server does not REFUSE connections, it
stops answering them, so a browser pointed at it hangs rather than erroring. That is
what pausing is, not a shortcoming here.

── Restart, and the cost it accepts ──

The command is recovered by joining the transcript to itself: the harness records
the `tool_use` carrying `command`, and separately its result — the text
`Command running in background with ID: <id>`. Neither alone is enough; together
they are a join on `tool_use_id`, and that is the only place the command survives.
The transcript is found FROM the output path rather than searched for, since a task
file at `<tmp>/claude-<uid>/<slug>/<session>/tasks/<id>.output` names both.

The respawned process appends to that same output file. That is what keeps
everything else working untouched — the log view reads that file, and Stop finds the
process by asking which pids hold it open.

The real cost, chosen deliberately: the platform becomes a SECOND owner of a task.
The harness stops watching when its own child dies, so the platform supervises what
it spawned and emits the same `task:started` / `task:notification` pair everything
downstream is built on. `emitToSession` is the seam, and it is the only one — nothing
else learns that a task can have two kinds of parent.

A restart re-announces an id already in the transcript, so `task:started` now RESETS
an existing task row rather than appending a second one. Without that the tray showed
the job twice, once finished and once running.

Restart is offered for a finished job too, which is the case that matters most: a dev
server that fell over is exactly what you want back without typing a sentence at an
agent that may be mid-turn.

Verified end to end against a planted task: command recovered, old process killed,
new one spawned, output APPENDED (`first run output` then `RESTARTED-OK`), exit
reported through the callback, supervision registry released afterwards.

`[open]` A restarted job does not survive an `officer` restart — the platform is its
parent now. The harness's own jobs never did either.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7d64b0a0d6 paste localhost:3000 into the preview and see the server's port
No proxy host, no certificate, no port opened. `/api/dev-proxy/5173/…` forwards to
`http://127.0.0.1:5173/…` over the platform's own origin, and the panel maps what
you type onto it.

── Why a proxy at all, when the ask was "just point at localhost" ──

Neither direct route works from a browser on https://<platform>.
`http://localhost:5173` resolves on the VIEWER's machine, not the server's, and
`http://<server>:5173` is mixed content inside an https page and is blocked before
it is even attempted. Both fail looking exactly like the dev server being down. The
bytes have to arrive over an origin the page already trusts, which is the platform.

A dev server can therefore stay bound to 127.0.0.1. The workflow this replaces —
one NPM proxy host per app — needs it on 0.0.0.0 plus a firewall rule for the
docker bridge, so this is both less setup and less exposure.

── What came back from `188b45c1^`, and what did not ──

The 46-line HTML/asset rewrite, which is the hard-won part: absolute paths in the
document, plus an injected script that intercepts fetch/XHR/WebSocket for the URLs
built at runtime. Its JWT injection is deleted — those apps called the PLATFORM's
API; a dev server proxied here talks to itself, and handing its process the owner's
bearer token would be giving credentials to whatever is on that port.

The other 314 lines are not back: spawning, port discovery, idle timers, log
collection, a proxyId registry. The port is the id, and the background-job button
already starts dev servers.

── HMR is bridged, because "see it" without "follow it" is half the feature ──

The injected script rewrites the dev server's socket under the prefix; the relay
dials `ws://127.0.0.1:<port>` and forwards frames both ways. Same shape as the vault
relay including the non-obvious part — state registered synchronously and frames
queued until the upstream opens, because Bun requires the upgrade to be synchronous
and an HMR client speaks immediately. An upstream close closes the client, which is
what makes a dev-server restart reconnect by itself.

── Access, which was not in the ask and is not optional ──

This route reaches any loopback port on the machine, on a host that answers from the
public internet. An iframe cannot carry a bearer token — it is a navigation — so the
panel puts it in the URL once, the proxy verifies it is the OWNER through
`resolveAuthToken`, and issues a short-lived cookie every sub-resource then carries.
Anonymous and non-owner requests get 401, verified. Owner-only rather than a
permission: reading an arbitrary loopback port is the `execution` power the registry
says can never be granted.

Both exemptions are registered with reasons, and the boot check earned its keep —
it refused to start until the socket provider was claimed too.

── Verified against a real loopback-only server ──

Confirmed unreachable from outside, then through the proxy: index served and
rewritten, `/_bun/` chunk resolved, JSON passed through untouched, 401 anonymous,
401 with a bad token, "nothing is listening" on a dead port. Websocket: refused
without the cookie, target parsed, frames relayed in both directions.

One bug found by testing rather than reading: the upstream path was derived by
slicing a hardcoded prefix, so every asset request returned the index page. It is
found from the `/<port>` segment now.

A test asserting `http://localhost:5173` is kept verbatim is now inverted, with the
reason written beside it — that was correct when the panel only framed real
hostnames.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0230e62a71 the platform stops explaining what Headscale is
Correcting my own reasoning from the last commit. I left "Headscale's API", "the
Headscale admin credential" and similar alone on the grounds that they name the
thing the plugin drives, so renaming them would make the sentences false. True as
far as it goes, and it misses the point: those sentences are in the PLATFORM. It
has no business knowing what Headscale is at all. Correct language in the wrong
repository is still a remnant.

Ten of them, each replaced with the platform's own vocabulary rather than the
plugin's domain:

- `crypto.ts` and `secret-store.ts` listed "the Headscale admin credential" among
  what one key used to protect. It is "the tailnet's admin credential" — the
  purpose, which is a word this repository owns.
- `catalogue.ts` and `availability.ts` explained `alsoServes` — a LIVE mechanism —
  entirely through a Headscale example that left the repository. Restated as the
  general shape, with one parenthesis saying which case produced it.
- The photos types file explained another plugin's sidecar.
- `App.tsx` cited `/headscale/:section` as the example of a route pair; that route
  does not exist. `/photos/:section` does.
- `plugins/router.ts` pointed at `useCompanionLogStream`, a hook that lives in a
  plugin now.
- `registry.ts` said in the present tense that `headscale` is `admin` — the
  permission is the plugin's and it declares its own, so a member-facing enrolment
  surface would be the PLUGIN's to add, not this file's.
- `proxy.sh` cited `headscale/schema.ts` as a style reference. That file is not in
  this repository.
- machine-setup said "Its Headscale app" — the app is the Offscale plugin.

`machine-setup/lib/tailscale.sh` keeps all ten of its mentions: it exists to
explain tailscale, headscale and offscale to somebody choosing between them, on a
core install, before any plugin exists. That is machine setup's subject, not the
plugin's domain leaking upward.

What survives elsewhere is only dated history — "was here until 2026-08-15", "It
was: music, vault, slskd, headscale, …" — plus the notes about the real
`headscale_servers` orphan and the secret-store key removed yesterday. Those record
that something called headscale used to be here, which is a different claim from
explaining what it does.
