offscale was missing from the permissions page because it declared ownerOnly,
which mapped to kind admin, and admin capabilities are never offered for
granting. correct by the old rule and wrong by the standard: every plugin
follows the same platform-level permission model, appearing on the same page
with the same read/write/none per role.
so the field is gone rather than flipped. a plugin has no way to say owner-only,
which makes the standard structural instead of remembered — the same move as the
workspace rule. core, execution, confined and admin stay the platform's to
assign and a plugin cannot name any of them, so the escalation question is
removed rather than answered.
this is the second draft of this decision to be deleted: first a full
CapabilityKind with three of five values forbidden, then an ownerOnly boolean,
now nothing. the doc records all three so the reasoning is visible rather than
just the conclusion.
finer visibility stays the plugin's job. offscale is the worked example of the
gap that leaves and its manifest says so: it is grantable now, and its queries
still scope by the caller, so a granted member would see their own empty server
list rather than the owner's. closing that is a change inside the plugin.

headscale leaves the platform. 45 files move to plugins/offscale/ and the
platform stops knowing it exists.
api/router.ts the thin auth-gated proxy, now at /api/offscale
sidecar/ 18 files, the whole headscale contract and its admin keys
db/ schema + queries, offscale_servers
web/ 26 files as panels and a layout — no screen, per the rule
removed from the platform: the hono mount, the `headscale` capability, the
App.tsx route pair, the screen and its barrel, the AppRegistry spread, the
officerdev re-exports, the dock tile, the page-title rule, and both database
barrels. tsgo is clean and nothing references it.
the imports tell the story of what the plugin↔host API actually is. the sidecar
takes @@/sidecar/protocol, @@/sidecar/connect, @@/data-path and
@@/officer-url.mjs; the queries take officerdb/db and officerdb/crypto; the
schema takes officerdb/auth/schema for the one reference a plugin may make; the
web half takes useClient, copyToClipboard, WorkspaceView and TerminalView from
the officerdev barrel. all of it resolves because a plugin lives inside the repo
— no publishing, no version negotiation.
AND IT FOUND A REAL BUG IN THE INSTALLER. createSidecarProxy learns its port
from a one-shot `<name>:server` event and subscribes when the plugin's router is
first imported — at mount. install started the sidecar BEFORE mounting, so the
announcement fired into a void: process online, routes mounted, every request
answering `503 sidecar not available` until something forced a reconnect. it
would have hit every plugin with an http sidecar. `example` never caught it
because it has no listener to announce.
install and enable now mount before starting; disable still unmounts before
stopping. neither direction leaves a mounted route in front of a sidecar that
cannot be reached.
verified live: /api/offscale/_officer/servers answers {"servers":[]}, /offscale
and /offscale/nodes serve, the old /api/headscale is 404, the offscale
capability is registered from the manifest, and officer-offscale is online.
757 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.
