OFFICER_PROFILE=light installs the same thing the macOS build does, on Linux:
the file browser, the terminal, and Claude/opencode chat. It skips the archive
extras, the sudoers entry and auto-suspend disabling, Go, Rust, PulseAudio,
cliamp, Neovim, the shell tooling and yt-dlp, brings up Postgres alone of the
five Docker services, and starts ecosystem.light.config.cjs. Unset or `full`
behaves exactly as before.
The profile changes which processes start, not which code ships — every API
route stays mounted, so features whose sidecars are absent report themselves
unavailable rather than disappearing.
ecosystem.light.config.cjs DERIVES its apps from ecosystem.config.cjs rather
than copying them, because the hand-copied Mac list was broken within days of
being written by a sidecar split in two and a pty entry point that moved, and
both failures were silent. Here a script/args change on the host propagates for
free, and two consistency checks turn the silent cases loud:
- a name the profile needs that the host no longer defines throws at load
- an app added to the host that is in neither the include list nor the annotated
exclusion list throws, so a new sidecar cannot default to "not in the profile"
without someone deciding
Both were tested against a mutated copy of the host ecosystem: renaming
officer-agent and adding an unclassified sidecar each throw, and the unmodified
file loads five apps.
The verification block now reads app names with node instead of grepping for
`name:` — the derived file has no literal keys to match, so a grep would have
silently verified nothing — and skips the checks for tools the profile did not
install, so a clean light run does not report Go and cliamp as missing.
Full-profile behaviour is unchanged by construction: every guard wraps the
original code in an else branch. The preamble was tested across unset, full,
light and an invalid value.
