officer-url.mjs is now the only file in the tree that touches process.env.PORT.
Twenty-two others read it and supplied their own default; a value with
twenty-two sources is not configuration, it is twenty-two things to keep in sync,
and they had already drifted three ways.
It throws when PORT is unset rather than guessing. A default only covers the case
where .env was never loaded — which is not a machine anyone wants running,
because POSTGRES_URL is missing in the same breath. What the default bought was a
process that starts, binds somewhere unexpected, and fails later for a reason
that does not name the cause. Same posture as jwt.ts with JWT_SECRET.
It is .mjs, not .ts, and that is the whole reason this could be one file. pm2
launches officer-pty with node (ecosystem.config.cjs) and everything else with
bun; node cannot import TypeScript, so a .ts module would have left the pty
sidecar holding the only surviving copy of the default — precisely the thing
being removed. allowJs is already on, so the TS callers still get types. Verified
both runtimes import it, and that PUBLIC_URL-style overrides still work.
It also exports API_URL and OFFICER_API_URL, because nineteen sidecars were
independently building `ws://127.0.0.1:${PORT}` and two more were building the
http form. Those are one listener described in two protocols — no sidecar binds
anything — so they belong beside the port rather than being rediscovered per
file.
server.tsx now takes PORT as a number, so Number(PORT) at the serve site is gone.
Not typechecked (empty node_modules, frozen installs). Every edited file parses
under `bun build --no-bundle`; node and bun both load the new module; the unset
and non-numeric paths were exercised; the pm2 profile still loads.

Every PORT fallback in the tree now says 9000. There were three answers to one
question, each defensible where it was written and none of them visible from the
others:
server.tsx and 19 sidecars 5000 a default from before there was an installer
user-instance.ts 9010 what scripts/setup-old/setup.sh really wrote
.env.example 9000 what we told people to write
5000 goes first because macOS binds it — AirPlay Receiver has owned it since
Monterey, so a dev server there fails to bind or gets shadowed by something that
answers.
All 22 sites moved together, which is the point. Changing the app alone would have
turned a consistent-but-wrong default into a split one: the app on 9000 while
nineteen sidecars still dialled 5000.
9010 was the interesting one. It was the only value that ever matched a real
machine, because it is what the old installer wrote — and it was in the single
file whose disagreement would have broken chat alone, with nothing else looking
wrong. Its own comment records the same bug being fixed once already, within the
file, by a change that left it disagreeing with everything outside it.
Note what these defaults actually are: the sidecars bind nothing. user-instance.ts
has no listener at all — it builds ws:// and http:// URLs that both address the
app's single listener. So every one of these numbers is a guess at where the app
is, for a value that .env always supplies. Worth removing rather than aligning,
which is a separate change.
Not typechecked (empty node_modules, frozen installs). Every edited file parses
under `bun build --no-bundle`; the pm2 profile loads.

Extracting resolveNotifyUser into its own module immediately caught a hole
in the fix from the previous commit: a header that was present but
unparseable fell through to the body, so a browser could send junk in the
header, name any user in the body and win.
PRESENCE of X-Officer-User is the signal, not its validity — a malformed
header means a proxied request went wrong, and falling through hands the
decision back to the caller we just declined to trust.

reset-password accepted any valid signed jwt as a reset token, including a
30-day session token — its sibling verify-token.ts already gated on
purpose === 'reset-password' and this handler did not. forgot-password mints
that claim, so the gate costs the legitimate flow nothing.
notify's DELETE /_officer/devices/:token deleted by token with no user
predicate: a token is the address of a device, not a secret, so any account
holding the notify capability could deregister another's device.
deletePushDevice now takes an optional userId — the route passes it, the
APNs/FCM dead-token paths deliberately do not.
POST /_officer/notify let a request body's userId override the
proxy-injected X-Officer-User. The header now wins where present, which is
what separates a signed-in browser from a loopback producer that has no
session to speak from.

The first producer, so the pipe can be exercised from the UI before any real event is wired
to it. Marked TEMPORARY in the source and meant to be deleted when a real producer replaces
it.
POST /_officer/notify now takes the user from the X-Officer-User header the proxy injects
when the body omits it. A producer inside the tailnet says who to notify; a browser reaching
this through /api/notify cannot know its own id, and the platform has already authenticated
whoever sent it. Body still wins where present.
The button sends { type: 'test' }, which fans out to every configured channel — Discord
today, APNs and FCM the moment their credentials exist — and toasts what each one reported,
so "no channels configured" is distinguishable from "sent".

Step 3. Apple directly over HTTP/2 — no Expo, no library, just node:http2 and node:crypto.
Three things here are the difference between working and a silent failure:
- The provider JWT must be signed with dsaEncoding 'ieee-p1363'. Node's default is DER, which
is a perfectly valid ECDSA signature that Apple rejects, and the rejection says nothing
about why. A test asserts the signature is 64 bytes rather than trusting the flag.
- Apple rejects a token minted more than once per 20 minutes and any token older than 60, so
it is cached and refreshed at 40 — between the two walls, not per request.
- APNs expects ONE long-lived HTTP/2 session carrying many requests. A session per push gets
throttled, so sessions are kept per host and re-created only when they die, with an error
handler so a transport failure cannot take the sidecar down as an unhandled rejection.
Sandbox and production are separate hosts and separate token namespaces, so devices are sent
per their stored `environment` — a debug-build token against production fails with
BadDeviceToken and no other symptom.
Dead tokens (BadDeviceToken, Unregistered, DeviceTokenNotForTopic) delete their row
immediately; everything else counts a strike. Going direct means Apple answers inline, so
none of Expo's deferred receipt-polling is needed.
The doorbell rule is now enforced by a test, not just by convention: a producer that passes
subject/from/body — which the type forbids but JavaScript permits — cannot get any of it into
the serialized payload. `aps.alert` carries a generic title composed from the category, and
the custom `officer` key carries ids the app fetches by.
12 tests, 100% of the JWT and payload paths. Verified against the real endpoint too: a
throwaway key gets 403 InvalidProviderToken from api.sandbox.push.apple.com, which means the
connection, path, apns-topic, push-type and JWT structure are all accepted and only the
credential is missing.
Still needed for a real send: APNS_KEY_P8, APNS_KEY_ID, APNS_TEAM_ID, and a device token
from the app.

Step 2 of docs/push-notifications.md. One real channel working end to end before any Apple
or Google credential exists, so the pipe is proven before the hard part.
officer-notify is a PM2 peer with its own loopback listener, announced as notify:server and
proxied at /api/notify. It is a sidecar rather than platform code because the producers are
spread across sidecars — the queue, email, the agent — and a platform-owned notifier would
force every one of them to call back into the platform. That is the inversion just removed
from email; this avoids recreating it.
Channels sit behind one interface (types.ts) so APNs and FCM slot in beside Discord rather
than replacing anything. Each is awaited with its own error boundary and the dispatcher
always resolves: a job that finished has finished whether or not a banner appeared, so a
channel must never be able to break its producer.
text.ts is where the doorbell rule is actually enforced. APNs and FCM both need a title to
render a banner, so "send nothing" was never available — what we control is that the string
is composed HERE from the category alone. A producer sends { type: 'mail', count: 3 } and
the wire carries "3 new emails". It cannot carry a subject line because there is nowhere to
put one.
Device registration lives behind X-Officer-User, trusted because the listener binds loopback.
Platform and environment are validated rather than defaulted: an iOS token from a debug build
fails against production APNs with a silent BadDeviceToken, so a wrong value is a device that
never receives anything and never says why. GET /_officer/devices returns only the last 8
characters of a token — enough to identify a row, not enough to push to it.
Verified end to end against a fake webhook: /_health reports configured channels, a test
notification arrives as {"content":"Officer"}, { type: 'mail', count: 3 } arrives as
{"content":"3 new emails"}, and every validation path returns its own error.
Deletes src/servers/notify/discord.ts, which this supersedes and which had no other callers.
