the process that runs claude (sidecar/claude/user-instance.ts) had no pm2 entry
and was spawned on demand by the main server, with stdout/stderr inherited. that
made every agent session a grandchild of officer, so pm2's tree-kill took the
session down on every `pm2 restart officer` — the single thing that makes it
impossible to work on the platform while an agent is running.
give it its own entry (officer-agent) and delete the spawn machinery:
ensureClaudeSidecar, spawnAndWaitForRegistration, the 50ms registration poll and
the per-email claudeProcs/claudeSpawnWaiters maps, ~77 lines. officer now spawns
no sidecar at all.
for that to work the sidecar had to stop needing officer to start:
- it resolves the owner from the database (getOwnerUser) instead of reading
CLAUDE_USER_EMAIL out of the env officer built. single-user is a hard
invariant, so there is nothing to fan out over. CLAUDE_USER_EMAIL still wins
when set, for manual runs, and a fresh install waits for bootstrap rather
than exiting into a restart loop.
- it reads the anthropic proxy secret from the proxy sidecar's own state file
rather than being handed it in env. lazily, because ensureProxySecret
persists on a 30s debounce and pm2 starts both processes together.
it registers as 'agent' with capability 'claude', so the registry finds it the
way it finds every other sidecar. that removes the email argument from
killClaude, interruptClaude and clearClaudeSession, which only ever existed to
locate a per-email sidecar by name.
what officer keeps is a short wait-for-capability, because pm2 brings peers up
together and the first request after a boot can beat the sidecar's registration.
also align the two officer port fallbacks in the sidecar (5000 for the socket,
9010 for the rest base) — same instance, so they cannot disagree.
this fixes R1 and R2 from CLAUDE_SIDECAR_ISOLATION.md. events produced while
officer is down are still lost; that is stage 2.

the pm2 entry named officer-claude never ran an agent. it starts
sidecar/claude/index.ts, which registers as capabilities: ['proxy'] and only
holds the anthropic proxy secret and forwards api traffic. the process that
actually spawns claude is sidecar/claude/user-instance.ts, which had no pm2
entry at all and was spawned on demand by the main server.
that misnomer is how both CLAUDE.md files ended up claiming that restarting
officer does not disturb a running agent session. it does: the agent was a
grandchild of officer and died with it. correct the name so the next reader
starts from a true model, and fix the claim in both files.
no behaviour change — officer-agent arrives in the next commit.

Add officer-slskd, a singleton sidecar that reverse-proxies to a
self-hosted slskd (Soulseek) instance and reports its loopback port to
the API on connect. All slskd knowledge (URL + API key) lives in the
sidecar; the platform is a thin auth+forward proxy for /api/slskd/* and
holds no slskd credentials. Mirrors the officer-vault pattern.

Transparent pass-through fronting a self-hosted Vaultwarden so the OffVault
(Bitwarden-SDK) app reaches it through the platform's per-app origin gate. True
out-of-process sidecar (officer-vault): it owns all Vaultwarden knowledge (URL,
paths, notifications WebSocket) on a random loopback port and registers via the
sidecar connector; the platform is a thin origin-gated forwarder that knows only
the sidecar's port. Never decrypts/parses/rewrites/logs bodies.
- sidecar/vault: HTTP + notifications-WS proxy to VAULTWARDEN_URL, /_health
- api/vault: sidecar-port discovery + thin forwarder + WS pipe + origin gate
- origin: OFFICER_VAULT_ORIGIN allow-listed, scoped to /api/vault
- mounted top-level (not protected) so the Bitwarden bearer token isn't 401'd
- protocol: vault:server event; ecosystem: officer-vault app

Adds an officer-music sidecar that owns an audio-streaming HTTP server, and a
thin authenticating proxy on the platform. All processing (path resolution,
byte-range streaming, ffprobe duration) is in the sidecar; the platform only
authenticates and forwards.
App-facing contract (handoff):
GET /api/music/stream?path=<home-relative path>&token=<jwt>
- auth via userMiddleware (Bearer or ?token= for media elements)
- 200 full / 206 on Range, with Accept-Ranges, Content-Length,
Content-Range, Content-Type, and X-Audio-Duration (seconds, ffprobe)
- path resolved within HOME_DIR, traversal-guarded (400); 404 if missing
Purpose: stream + seek without pre-downloading the whole file — the app can
read X-Audio-Duration instead of scanning for VBR duration.
Pieces:
- sidecar/music/{index.ts,stream-audio.ts}: Bun.serve on a random port, /stream
+ /health, duration cached by path+mtime; reports its port via a new
music:server sidecar event on connect.
- api/music/{sidecar-server.ts,router.ts}: capture the port; reverse-proxy
/api/music/* → sidecar, streaming status + headers through.
- protocol.ts music:server event; hono.ts mounts /api/music; ecosystem adds
officer-music.

New officer-opencode sidecar (same philosophy as officer-claude): a singleton that owns
an `opencode serve` running from DATA_PATH/opencode-sidecar (created if missing) on a
random port, registers with the API as capability 'opencode', and reports its port via a
new `opencode:server` protocol event. The API stores it (sidecar-server.ts, wired in
server.tsx via getOpenCodeServerUrl). ecosystem.config.cjs runs the sidecar instead of a
bare pm2 serve. Turn-running + API rewiring come in later steps.

The per-cwd `opencode serve` spawning is replaced by a single fixed server
(http://127.0.0.1:4096, OPENCODE_SERVER_URL) managed by pm2 — added as
`officer-opencode` in ecosystem.config.cjs (cwd = home).
Root-cause fix for the empty model selector: list-models shelled out to
`opencode models`, which failed at runtime on the deployed server (the picker got
only Claude tiers). It now reads the fixed server's GET /config/providers over HTTP —
11ms and reliable — so the curated OpenCode models (Big Pickle, Claude Haiku) show up.
- server-manager.ts — drops spawning; exposes OPENCODE_SERVER_URL + a health check.
- client.ts — createSession no longer binds a directory (sessions live in the one
server's project).
- send-opencode.ts / opencode-sessions.ts / chat.ts — use the fixed server; drop the
cwd/home plumbing. Session list/load/delete/rename now hit :4096.
Verified end-to-end against the live server: model list, streaming turn, session
list, and transcript load all work with no spawning.

Stage 1 of removing Pi (Claude-only). Cuts the non-Claude branches in the chat
WS handler, pipeline executor, and channel send-and-await; deletes the Pi
sidecar, its ecosystem entry, pi-bridge, and the Pi model-listing spawn (now a
static Claude tier list). Adds a guard coercing any legacy non-claude-code model
preference to the Claude default so old settings don't break chat or jobs.
Removes the dead no-op session-save REST route and stale Pi docs.

replaces the single hardcoded systemd VNC service with a dynamic
sidecar that manages per-user VNC sessions on demand. any authenticated
user can now access their own desktop, not just Super Admin.

Flips the connection model so sidecars register themselves with the API
server via WebSocket at /api/sidecar/register, enabling dynamic discovery,
location independence, and automatic reconnection from either side.
- Add registration protocol types and PTY command/event types
- Create sidecar-registry.ts (replaces sidecar-client.ts) as passive registry
- Create sidecar connector (connect.ts) with exponential backoff reconnect
- Convert process sidecar from WS server to WS client
- Convert PTY sidecar from WS server to multiplexed WS client
- Simplify terminal bridge to thin adapter using registry
- Add PTY sidecar as PM2-managed process
- Update all consumer imports

Introduces a separate Bun process (port 5100) that owns all spawned
processes and long-running work, so the API server can restart freely
without disrupting active sessions.
The sidecar owns:
- Anthropic proxy (port 5051) with persisted secret across restarts
- Claude Code process spawning and session tracking (--resume support)
- Pi agent spawning and RPC lifecycle (prompt/abort/thinking)
- Job queue engine (lane processing, retries, notifications)
The API server becomes a thin client that forwards commands over a
single WebSocket connection with auto-reconnect. send-claude-code.ts
goes from 550 lines of spawn logic to 73 lines of sidecar delegation.
State persisted to data/sidecar/state.json every 30s and on shutdown.
Lockfile prevents duplicate instances. See SIDECAR.md for full docs
and manual testing procedures.
