the git-repo button FETCHES, and the card does the installing
it installed, and using it showed why that was wrong: the button is on the grid, the progress log is in the detail panel — so a URL install ran to completion with nothing on screen and the plugin simply appeared, already installed. no feedback, and no moment to change your mind about running somebody's code. cloning alone is enough to make a plugin real. `/api/plugins` lists what is ON DISK, so a fetched plugin shows up with `installed: false` — Available, exactly like a catalogue entry — and the existing card, its Install button and its streamed progress do the rest. one install path, and it is the one people have already used. so `install-from-url` and its streaming twin are gone, replaced by `fetch-from-url`, which clones and stops. the streaming route existed only to carry progress into a view that could not render it. the outcome is REPORTED, since that was the complaint: "fofos-admin added — click it to install", naming what the URL resolved to. the name is derived rather than typed — appName IS the directory, deciding the route, the table prefix and the process name — so being told what it became is the only way to know which card is yours. it stays on screen until the next attempt rather than being a toast that is gone before you look up. discovery is re-run after the clone: fetchPlugin checks the manifest EXISTS, discovery checks it parses. a directory failing that still renders in the grid as broken, which is honest, but saying so at fetch time reaches the person while they are still looking at the field they pasted into. verified: fetch 200 with the derived name, the plugin listed installed=false, a second fetch refused with "already on disk" rather than clobbering it, and the icon present in the clone.

"Install from Git repository", in the marketplace
a button beside the plugin count that becomes a URL field. everything after it is the machinery that was already there: same installPlugin, same step and log frames, same progress panel, same result. STREAMED, because that is what "works exactly like it already does" means here. an install writes an ecosystem entry, starts a process and rebuilds the router; answering once at the end is a spinner that stops, with no way to tell "started the sidecar" from "could not". the frame reader in usePlugins was split out rather than copied — it never cared which URL it read from, and two copies of an incomplete-frame parser is two places to get it subtly wrong. A TWIN ROUTE, not a case inside the verb map. every other verb names an INSTALLED plugin in its path; this one names something the machine has never seen, and its subject arrives in the body. folding it in would mean a route whose `:appName` is ignored for exactly one value of `:verb`. NO NAME FIELD, deliberately. appName IS the directory a plugin sits in — never declared in a manifest — so it decides the route segment, the table prefix and the pm2 process name. a box for it would invite a name that disagrees with the address. it is derived server-side and reported as the FIRST streamed step, which is the moment it can still be cancelled. collapsed until asked for: a permanent URL box at the top of a catalogue reads as the primary way in, and it is the exception — for somebody who already has an address. verified end to end against fofos/fofos-admin: 30 frames, every step from clone to mount, `assets: published to /plugins/fofos-admin/` now that it carries an icon, and the icon served at 256x256 with alpha intact. purged afterwards — officer-dev is not that website's machine.

install a plugin from a git URL, with no registry involved
the catalogue was the only way a remote plugin could arrive, so "build one and give it to a friend" had no route. the first real case is a plugin that must never be listed: fofos/fofos-admin is one website's admin panel, useful to exactly one person. MUCH smaller than the todo assumed. fetchPlugin already cloned, validated the URL, refused to overwrite an existing directory, checked for a manifest and removed a failed clone. exactly one line tied it to the marketplace — where the string came from. so this is a source parameter threaded through, and a route. THE NAME COMES FROM THE REPOSITORY, because appName is the DIRECTORY name and is never declared in a manifest — the id cannot disagree with where the code sits. that decision is inherited here rather than remade: the repo name becomes the directory, the route segment, the table prefix and the sidecar suffix. so it is checked against ^[a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*$ BEFORE anything is cloned; a half-clone under an unusable name reads as a broken plugin rather than an absent one. the URL is validated identically whether it came from the catalogue or from a person, because the catalogue is not a trust boundary — it is just where a string came from, and the same string reaches the same argv. what differs is who may ask: this route is owner-only, and the owner is choosing what code runs rather than choosing from a list somebody curated. validation is not review, and nothing here reads what it cloned. caught by testing: the source reached installPlugin and stopped there — the fetchPlugin call still had the old two arguments, so a URL install fell back to the catalogue and failed with "no catalogue entry". the guard tests are what surfaced it, because the error named the wrong cause. verified end to end against fofos-admin — cloned, schema applied, mounted, dock pinned — then purged, since officer-dev is not that website's machine.

sign in as a user, from user management
the support case this exists for is "it does not work for them and it does for me". reproducing that with a password reset means locking somebody out of their own account in order to look at it, which is worse than the bug. THE TOKEN SAYS WHO IS REALLY HOLDING IT. `impersonatedBy` rides on the claim and reaches every handler, because user-middleware puts the whole payload on the context. without it an impersonated action is indistinguishable from that person's own — in a log, in a transcript, in anything keyed on a user id — and a support tool that can forge activity as somebody else is a different and much worse thing than a support tool. ONE HOUR, not thirty days. a session lasts a month because a person uses their own account daily; impersonation is a task you finish. an hour is long enough to reproduce a problem and short enough that a forgotten tab stops being a live credential for somebody else's account by lunchtime. IT CANNOT CHAIN, and that is the guard that matters. `ownerGate` refuses any token carrying `impersonatedBy`, so impersonating another Super Admin does NOT hand user management back — which would have made this a way to launder owner actions through somebody else's id. stated twice, in the gate and in the handler, because one file away is too far for this one. THE WAY BACK IS A STASHED TOKEN, not a route. nothing on the server mints an owner session — a far more dangerous thing to own than this whole feature. the cost is that clearing browser storage strands you as the other person until the hour expires, and signing in again fixes that. the banner is loud and sits ABOVE the header, outside everything a fullscreen panel can hide. the failure it prevents is not a hole, it is forgetting: reading a mailbox or deleting something while believing it is yours. it asks the server who it is rather than decoding the token, so it cannot keep showing a name after the hour has run out. verified end to end against a throwaway account, since this host has one user: impersonate 200 with the target's id and impersonatedBy naming the owner, 60 minute lifetime, /auth/me answering as them; self 400, unknown user 404, chaining 403, user management while impersonating 403; one [SECURITY] line per start. the probe account was deleted.

deploy/2026.08.27.02 — a plan with commands, and a schema claim that is checked
2026.08.27.01 was REFUSED before a single host was contacted, and the commander was right twice over. its plan described the release instead of instructing the rollout — no step list at all, where deploy/README.md defines a plan as "what to run, in order, on which hosts" and steps 4 and 5 of the procedure are plan-driven. and it asserted "nothing here changes a schema" on the day dav/schema.ts was deleted out of core. that second one was not a formatting mistake. dav_app_passwords now lives in plugins/caldav, and gen-plugin-schemas follows plugin DIRECTORIES — so on a host without that directory the table is in the database and not in the schema, and `db:push` proposes dropping it. on alpha that is eight device credentials. so this plan answers it from a survey rather than a guess. alpha has the plugin and 8 rows; the other six have no plugin and an empty leftover table; zero hosts run officer-marketplace, which retires the `tags` column question entirely. the orphan table is dropped EXPLICITLY, guarded by a count, and skipped on alpha — never as a db:push side effect. step 6 is new and would have been missed: officer-opencode has to restart or none of the skills, agent-identity or credential work in this release does anything. ALSO THE SIGN-OUT. a single 401 from any endpoint wiped the token from both storages and reloaded — which signs the owner out of every tab and keeps them there, since nothing is left to recover from. that is the right response to a revoked session and far too violent a response to one endpoint answering 401 for its own reasons. it now confirms against /auth/me first, and treats an unreachable server as emphatically not a revocation: rebooting the box must not end the session. reported mid-demo, with nothing in the logs and a freshly signed token working against every route the app loads.

a dock tile for /bots, which had a screen and no way in
the route, the screen and the list have existed since bots did — `/bots` and `/bots/:sessionId` are both in App.tsx. what was missing was any way to GET there: no entry in CORE_DOCK_ITEMS, so it could not even be added to a dock, and no `nav.bots` label in any of the six locales. placed beside Command HQ, which is the neighbouring idea: a commander runs a job, a bot watches one thing. left as "Bots" in all six locales — a borrowed technical noun, and inventing translations for it would be worse than not.

the new wordmark in the header, following the theme
two marks, same 1062x220 crop: white "Off" for a dark background, dark "Off" for a light one, yellow "icer" untouched in both. the dark variant is the light one with only its DESATURATED pixels inverted, so the yellow is bit-identical and the alpha and dimensions never move. CLASSIFIED BY LUMINANCE, not by the mode comment. only 22 of the 227 theme files declare one, and the cost of guessing wrong is a white wordmark on a white bar — so each theme's own `--background` is read and thresholded. 203 dark, 24 light. the signed-out screen is deliberately untouched and still uses the inline SVG. AND THE BUG THIS UNCOVERED, which was not about logos at all. `useThemeAsset` read the computed style inside an effect, and react runs CHILD effects before parent ones — every consumer is a descendant of `ThemeProvider`, which sets `data-theme` in ITS effect. so the read always saw the PREVIOUS theme's value: switch themes and the logo was one theme behind, switch again and behind again. it reads as a race and is deterministic, which is why it reproduced every time somebody watched for it. the read moved into requestAnimationFrame — past every effect in that commit and past style recalculation — plus a MutationObserver on data-theme/class for the case a frame cannot cover: a theme installed at runtime arrives as a <link> that loads whenever it loads. the wallpaper uses the same hook for `--page-bg-src` and had the same lag.

start a commander from a plugin chat, without knowing where anything lives
pointing a commander at a mailbox meant typing its path, which meant a file
browser and an account allowed to walk the disk. only the owner has that — so
"watch my email and tell me when X" was a super-user feature, in a product whose
whole point is that it should not be.
every plugin chat already mounts `ChatHeader` with a `chatContext`, and that
context IS the address: the server turns `{context:'email', contextId:'me@…'}`
into the mailbox's own directory, beside its `emails.db`. so one button on that
header reaches every plugin chat there will ever be, and a new plugin gets it by
declaring the context it already had to declare to have a chat at all. that is
what makes this common to all those chats rather than copied into each.
THE CLIENT SENDS NO PATH, because it has none. a plugin's chats live under
$DATA_PATH/<email>/plugins/<app>/chats and an email chat beside its own database;
both are built server-side and deliberately never sent to the browser. the
resolver moved out of chat.ts into `chat-context.ts` so command-hq uses the SAME
mapping — two copies would be two chances for a commander to watch a directory
its own chat has never been in.
it NAVIGATES rather than creating on the spot. a commander with no first turn has
no transcript, and the grid filters those rows out — so "create it silently"
makes something the person cannot then find. the setup screen is also where the
first turn happens, which is where the job actually gets settled. the button
carries the context there, pre-fills the name, and leaves one button to press.
the reference is shown as what it WATCHES rather than as a path, because there is
no path to show.
caught by testing rather than by reading: `resolveChatContextDir` reads the query
string, and command-hq takes its context in a JSON body — so the first version
resolved every commander to the owner's home. that failure is invisible, since a
commander watching the wrong directory just answers about the wrong thing
forever. the value-taking `chatContextDir` is what command-hq calls.
verified live: context 'email' resolves to email_accounts, plugin/proxy-manager
to its own chats directory.

preview a commander's files, the way /files does
the commander file panel could list a directory and not open anything in it. it already mounts the same `FileBrowserApp` as /files — what it did not mount is the VIEWER, which on /files is a separate ephemeral panel and not part of the browser at all. THE PARAM COULD NOT BE READ, which is why this is more than mounting a panel. on /files the folder is in the PATHNAME, so `?view=notes.md` is a name inside it and that is all it needs to be. a browser mounted anywhere else keeps its folder in panel-local state, so the same name is unresolvable by anything except the component that wrote it — the commander panel was writing `?view=notes.md` with no reader able to tell which of its folders that meant. so off the files route the param carries the whole path, and `viewRoot` with it: a panel that overrides the root is exactly the case where "home" is the wrong guess. `viewRoot` joins VIEWER_PARAMS so closing an overlay clears it — a stale root outliving its view would send the next file to the wrong tree. the split is VERTICAL where /files is horizontal. this panel is already the narrow half of a screen whose other half is a transcript; splitting it sideways again leaves two columns too thin to read anything in. closing the file clears the overlay params by NAME rather than resetting the query, because `files=1` — the thing keeping this whole panel open — lives in the same string, and the obvious version closes the browser along with the file.

an opencode chat you can reopen: it has a name, its messages, and its model
three complaints, one root cause and two small ones. THE TRANSCRIPT CAME BACK EMPTY because the client read `/session/<id>/message` and this build answers that with `[]` — 200, well-formed, and wrong. the same session returns 4 messages on `/api/session/<id>/message`. an empty transcript is indistinguishable from a new conversation, so reopening a chat said "send a message to start" and every message the owner had sent looked deleted. that also explains the third complaint. the model was read from the assistant turns, so no messages meant no model, so the detail reported a bare `opencode`, which the composer cannot match — and it fell back to claude code and sonnet. it now also reads the model off the session record, which is populated before any assistant turn lands. the message shape moved with the endpoint: `type` where it was `info.role`, `content` where it was `parts`, and a user message's text sits on the message rather than in a part. both shapes are accepted rather than pinned to today's build — this reader is the only thing between a working transcript and a chat that looks erased, and a host on a different opencode should lose features, never its history. AND THE ORDER WAS BACKWARDS. the endpoint returns newest first and nothing downstream re-sorted, so the answer sat above the question that produced it. sorted here, because this is the only place that still has timestamps. NAMING: opencode is meant to title a session from its contents and does not, on this surface — sessions stay at `New session - <timestamp>` through a finished turn and past it, which is why the list was a column of "(untitled)". `isPlaceholderOpenCodeTitle` exists precisely because that name leaks into the UI. so the sidecar names a NEW session from the first line of its first prompt, which is what the claude side shows. a resumed session keeps what it has, and if opencode ever does title one it writes after us and wins. verified live on the session that prompted this: 4 messages, in order, model opencode/kimi-k3.

permissions off wholesale, by every documented mechanism, plus a backstop
read the documentation instead of the binary, which is what should have happened
hours ago. it says three things this code was getting wrong.
- "permission": "allow" — a BARE STRING, not the object form. that is the
documented way to say "no prompting at all".
- most permissions already default to allow. the exceptions are
`external_directory` and `doom_loop`, plus `read` on `.env`. those are what
was actually stopping turns.
- an agent's own rules take precedence over the global config, and an agent
that declares none inherits the built-in defaults — so a global allow does
not reach it.
so: `permission: "allow"` in the serve config, AND the agent moved to the
markdown FILE form with `permission: allow` in its frontmatter. the file form is
what the docs recommend "for anything non-trivial", and it is the only place an
agent's permissions are honoured — the inline definition ignores both `permission`
and `prompt`, while accepting `description` and `mode`, which is the worst kind of
partial.
WHAT I COULD NOT MAKE TRUE. with all of that applied, the serve still reports
`external_directory: ask`, `doom_loop: ask` and `read *.env: ask` on the resolved
agent. i cannot get that list to come back clean, and i am not going to guess at
it again.
which is why the event-stream approver stays and is the thing actually doing the
work: whatever opencode asks, the platform answers `always`. that is the analogue
of the claude harness's `bypassPermissions` and it does not depend on predicting
the shape of the next gate. the config above is the belt; that is the braces.

answer opencode's permission prompts, because nothing else can
the spinner had a cause and it was none of the four things fixed before it. the
serve was holding a permission request:
{"action":"skill","resources":["calendar-and-contacts"],"source":{"type":"tool"}}
opencode asks before loading a skill. in its own terminal a person answers. here
it goes to a UI that has never heard of it, and the turn does not fail — it SITS
THERE. no error, no log line, nothing in the transcript. three models were blamed
for it, and a paid provider, and the skill itself.
replying `always` by hand released it instantly: the skill loaded and the agent
went straight to the curl the skill describes. so the whole chain was correct and
one unanswered question was holding all of it.
CONFIG IS NOT ENOUGH, and this is the part worth keeping. the serve's config
carries `permission: {skill: {"*": "allow"}}`, the agent's own ruleset reports
`skill * allow`, and it asked anyway. answering is the only approach that does not
depend on guessing the shape of the next gate correctly — and there will be a next
gate, because `external_directory` was the last one.
not a widening: the claude harness runs `bypassPermissions` deliberately, because
CLAUDE.md is explicit that an unsandboxed agent on the owner's own machine is the
point. this is the same stance for the other harness. `always` rather than `once`
so a repeated tool does not re-ask every turn.
when opencode reaches members this becomes a real decision. it is owner-only today
for larger and unrelated reasons, and it goes on the list with them.

copy the skills, do not link them — a link is what made it hang
the agent called `skill calendar-and-contacts` and sat there. not an error, not a refusal: a spinner, on three different models. opencode grants `external_directory` for the paths it discovered — literally `~/.config/opencode/skills/<name>/*` — and a symlink RESOLVES to the plugin directory, which is not in that list. so reading the skill body fell through to `external_directory: "*": "ask"`, and a server session has nobody to ask. the request waits forever. the permission list the serve reports says it plainly: every skill path is allowed at its LINK location and nothing allows the target. copying makes the real path the allowed path. the cost is drift — a skill edited in its plugin is not live until this sidecar restarts — which is why the copy is rewritten from scratch on every boot, and it is a good trade against a hang with no message. copies are marked so a skill somebody wrote there by hand is never clobbered and ours are replaced rather than merged, so a file deleted upstream cannot survive in the copy.

read the documentation: four things wrong, none of them the model
an opencode agent could not look at a calendar all afternoon. i treated it as a
framing problem, then a regression, then a free-vs-paid model problem, and it was
none of those. the documentation says all four, plainly.
1. A SKILL'S `name` IS AN IDENTIFIER, not a label. it must match
^[a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*$ and equal its directory. every skill here carried a
human title there — "Calendar and contacts" — so every one was LISTED and none
could be LOADED. the agent found the skill, called
skill({name:"calendar-and-contacts"}), and got "Unable to load skill". `title`
is now a separate field and keeps the prose.
2. THERE IS NO `skills.paths` CONFIG KEY. it is in the binary's own config
example and not in the docs, and the difference is exactly this: skills
configured that way are offered to the agent and cannot be opened. skills load
from fixed discovery paths only, so each directory is now SYMLINKED into
~/.config/opencode/skills. links, not copies — one source of truth, and a skill
edited in its plugin is live immediately.
3. `prompt` IS A FILE REFERENCE — "{file:./path}". passing the text is parsed
without complaint and never applied. this is what made it look like a model
problem: the agent existed, the prompt was on its record, and the model had
never seen a word of it.
4. THE `skill` PERMISSION DEFAULTS TO ASKING, and a server session has nobody to
ask, so the call errors rather than waiting. {"skill":{"*":"allow"}}.
also: the platform cached opencode's model list for the lifetime of `officer`,
so signing into a provider and restarting the SIDECAR left the old catalogue in
the OTHER process — six free models, no paid ones, nothing saying why. the cache
is dropped when the sidecar reports a new port, which is the one event that
always accompanies a new serve.
verified: the prompt reaches the model — asked who it is, it answered "Officer,
running on your home server at officer-dev under your user account". 10 skills
discovered through the linked path with loadable names. NOT verified end to end:
a turn that opens the calendar skill and answers from it.

opencode gets an identity, not just a coding agent's
three turns in a row could not look at a calendar while holding the calendar skill, and each failure had a different cause. FIRST: opencode's built-in `build` agent opens with "You are an AI coding agent. Help the user accomplish software engineering tasks." asked about a calendar it reasoned, in its own words, "this isn't a coding task, and I don't have access to any calendar" and never called the skill tool. the index was in its context the whole time. the plumbing was right and the identity was wrong, which is the harder of the two to see. so officer defines its own primary agent — mode primary, `default_agent`, and named explicitly on session create because a default is a preference and this is a requirement. only NEW sessions: a resumed one keeps the agent it was made with. SECOND: setting a custom `prompt` traded one problem for the other. with the built-in agent the index was there and the framing was wrong; with ours the framing was right and the index was gone, so the turn went looking for .ics files in the home directory. `prompt` replaces the assembled system text rather than adding to it. the index is now compiled INTO the prompt by `skillsBlock()` — the same function a claude session uses — so both halves arrive together. ours also carries the PATH to each SKILL.md, which opencode's own block does not: a path can be opened with the file tools every harness already has. WHAT IS NOT FIXED, AND IS NOT THIS FILE'S FAULT. a third attempt still failed, and a diagnostic turn reported system instructions beginning "Tool infrastructure You can call" — not ours — and named a skill (`frontend-design`) that exists nowhere in this install. the only provider this machine can reach is opencode's own hosted gateway on free models; there is no auth.json here. so either the gateway supplies its own system prompt, or a free model is confabulating about its instructions. those are different problems and neither can be told apart without a model whose credential we own. verified: the agent is registered and its prompt is 4,717 characters containing "Calendar and contacts" and the SKILL.md paths; the serve's credential works (a tool process fetched the owner's collections); 10 skills discovered. NOT verified: that any of it reaches the model on this box. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Officer-Session: 656f5c85-e49a-4f1f-b9f3-042a04b4d043 |

notify one named account — and unshadow /broadcast, which never worked
"can you send a notification to George" had no answer. an agent key reaches its
own holder and nothing else, and the only route that spoke about somebody else
sent to EVERYONE. so the choice was the whole household or nobody.
POST /api/notify/user, ownerOnly, same authority and same reasoning as
/broadcast: everything else under this permission acts on the account asking, and
reaching another person's phone is administration however few phones it is. it
returns the target's email so the caller can see who was reached rather than
trusting an id they typed, and 404s an unknown account rather than letting the
sidecar's silence read as delivery.
AND THE PART THAT MATTERS MORE. /broadcast has answered 404 since the day it
landed. `createSidecarProxy` mounts `router.all('/*')` when it is CREATED, and
hono matches in registration order — so every route added to the proxy's own
router afterwards was forwarded to the sidecar, which has never heard of it.
three days, on a route whose entire purpose was to stop people POSTing to the
sidecar's ephemeral port by hand. a shadowed route does not fail like a missing
one; it fails like a sidecar that has not implemented it, so the 404 reads as
somebody else's problem.
caldav's router learned this on 2026-08-21 and wrote it down. this file now does
the same thing in the same words: the platform's own routes first, the catch-all
proxy mounted LAST.
verified: /broadcast now answers 400 to an empty body where it answered 404
before, /user delivers and reports the address, /_officer/devices still forwards.

opencode gets the skills and a credential, which it had neither of
an opencode agent could not have used the calendar skill written this morning, and would not have failed usefully either — it had no idea the skill existed and no key to call the platform with. two gaps, one file each. SKILLS: OPENCODE ALREADY HAD THE MECHANISM. it has a `skill` tool, an index compiled into its system prompt, and `skills.paths` in config taking directories of <name>/SKILL.md — the same progressive disclosure claude does over the same layout the platform already stores. so this points it at the SAME FILES rather than compiling a second index in a second format. skills/load.ts says a skill is a path because every harness can read a file; this is the better version of that bet — the harness had the feature all along. verified: `/skill?directory=…` now returns all nine platform skills, "Calendar and contacts" among them. THE CREDENTIAL, AND THE THING TO KNOW ABOUT IT. claude spawns a subprocess per session, so its key is per session and a member's resolves to their own grants. opencode cannot: ONE serve runs every session, so the only environment there is is the serve's own, minted once at sidecar start, belonging to the owner. that is sound today for exactly one reason — opencode is owner-only, enforced at every door in chat.ts because one serve runs as one user. when that lifts, this key becomes a privilege escalation. it is the same blocker as the two already there, not a new one, but it lives in a sidecar where nobody looking at chat.ts would find it, so chat.ts now names it. all three move together. verified end to end: a tool process inside an opencode session ran curl with $OFFICER_AGENT_KEY and got the owner's calendars back. OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT rather than editing ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc — it is inline json, it MERGES into the same chain as the config files (checked in the binary), and it dies with the process. the alternative is the platform editing a dotfile it does not own and leaving state behind that outlives the install. affordances ride the `instructions` key as one composed file, written beside the serve's state. loaded — `/config` shows it — but NOT model-verified: this box has no provider credential in auth.json, so a turn 401s before reaching a model. whoever adds one should check that first. the credential module moved out of sidecar/claude/. it was never claude-shaped; it was just there first, and it had one importer.

a sidecar proxy claims only the sub-path it forwards
registerProxiedPrefix tells bodyParser to leave a prefix's request bodies alone. that is correct for forwarded traffic and load-bearing for uploads: a parsed multipart body is re-serialised with a new boundary while the original content-type header is still forwarded, and every upload fails. but a plugin mounts its OWN routes under the same prefix, and those are not forwarded — they are served in-process and they need their bodies. claiming the whole prefix meant every field on them read as missing. caldav hit it the day it was extracted: POST /api/caldav/provision/ios answered "deviceLabel is required" for a request that carried one. its app passwords used to live at /api/dav, a second prefix that was not proxied, and one prefix per plugin ended that arrangement. so `proxiedSubPath` — caldav's sidecar answers `_officer/*` and nothing else, so it claims `/api/caldav/_officer` and the plugin's own routes are parsed normally. omitted means the whole prefix, which is right for every sidecar with no routes of its own, so nothing else changes. this affects any plugin mixing its own routes with a proxy, which is most of them. they have not hit it because their own routes are GETs.

a pull leaves origin/master where it found it, so every checkout looked ahead
plugins:check reported "2 commit(s) NOT PUSHED" for all twenty-one installed plugins on a machine where nothing had been committed. the check was right about what it measured and the cause was here. `git fetch origin HEAD` writes FETCH_HEAD and nothing else. refs/remotes/origin/ <branch> keeps whatever it had, so after a successful pull the checkout sits at the newest commit while origin/master still points at an older one — and every `rev-list origin/master...HEAD` reports the checkout as ahead by however many commits it just pulled. so the remote-tracking ref is refreshed too, explicitly, after the fetch that cannot do it. best effort, because the local branch may not exist on the remote under that name — which is the same reason the fetch asks for HEAD rather than for a branch. fetch also asks for --tags now. tags are how releaseState decides whether there is anything to update to, so a fetch that skipped them left the Update button answering from refs older than the release it was offering. verified by staling a ref on purpose: one false positive before, none after a single pullPlugin.

publish the catalogue from the release clones, and make the cards look like cards
three small things. marketplace-sync reads PLUGINS_DIR now instead of assuming the directory it sits next to. platform/plugins/ is what a machine has INSTALLED — updated by plugins:update, which is a git pull — while the release is made in the workspace clones. publishing from the install directory means the catalogue advertises the version this machine happens to be running: 21 plugins were tagged and the store went on showing 1.0.0 until this changed. the grid cards used bg-white/40. this app's surfaces are a DARKENING of the panel behind them — every other card and section here is bg-duck-dark/5 — so a translucent white read as a pale box floating on a dark theme. picking a colour instead of a token, and it only looked right against a background this app does not have. hover now moves the BORDER and nothing else: a background swap across twenty-one cards makes the whole grid twitch as the pointer crosses it. the tag pills were the same value as the card surface, so they rendered as text with no chip at all. and the marketplace todo said the UI was not started. it is.

pm2 save when the process list changes, and a check that does not lie about symlinks
the owner asked whether anything runs `pm2 save` when a sidecar is added or removed. nothing did. PM2 resurrects from ~/.pm2/dump.pm2, written only by `pm2 save`, so the dump was whatever a human last happened to save. today it was FIVE DAYS old: 13 processes saved against 26 running. a reboot would have silently lost every sidecar installed since — bitcoin-wallet, desktop, gitea, invoices, iris, jellyfin, minesweeper, music, photos, soulseek, transcribe, transmission, vault. thirteen features gone, machine healthy, nothing saying why. saved after start AND after delete. removal matters as much: a dump that keeps resurrecting a deleted sidecar brings it back after a reboot as a crash loop for code no longer on the machine. a RESTART does not save — the same processes are running and the dump is already right. best effort and never fatal: a failed save leaves the estate correct and only the dump stale, which is where things already were. failing an install over bookkeeping would be the worse trade. separately, plugins:check filtered directories on the DIRENT's isDirectory(), which answers false for a symlink to a directory. platform/plugins is symlinked now, so the check would have reported "0 plugin repositories, all well-formed" — a green check over nothing, which is worse than a red one. it stats the path instead, the way discover.ts already does. dump saved once by hand as well, since five days of drift was already there: 26 saved, 26 running, no difference.

update means something now: it depends on tags
"update" was `git pull` and re-install, unconditionally, for every plugin.
nothing could say whether there was anything to pull, so the button was always
there and usually did nothing — and "update all" was twenty-one no-ops with a
spinner on it. the button's own comment admitted it: gating on `outdated` would
hide it for ever, because nothing bumped a version.
versions are dated and tagged now, so the rule the owner asked for is possible:
· a checkout NOT at a tag is always updateable — it is between releases, no
claim is being made about it, pulling is always reasonable
· a checkout AT a tag is updateable only when a NEWER tag exists
the part worth defending is how "newer" is decided. the obvious version-string
comparison is wrong the first time a plugin is tagged `v2` or `1.0.0-rc1`, and
wrong SILENTLY — a plugin that never offers an update looks like one nobody has
released. so newness is asked of git: the newest tag reachable from the REMOTE
branch, compared against the tag at HEAD. that holds for any names anyone
chooses, and there is a test with a tag called `beta` that sorts before `v1` to
keep it honest.
it never fetches. every answer comes from refs already on disk, because this
runs once per plugin on a request that renders a list and twenty-one network
round trips would make the screen feel broken. tags arrive at clone and at the
fetch `pullPlugin` already does.
the VERB refuses too, not just the UI. a plugins list is fetched once and a tag
can be pushed a second later, so the copy someone clicks is routinely older than
the truth — and `updateAll` iterates a list rather than asking per plugin.
"up to date · <tag>" is said out loud rather than shown as an absent button. no
button and up-to-date look identical, and only one of them is information.
verified on the real installs: example pulled to its tag and flipped to
up-to-date, caldav on an older commit stayed updateable, and updatePlugin on
example answered "already at 2026.08.27.01, the newest release" without pulling.

the marketplace is browsed by tag, not scrolled
/marketplace was a list of every plugin on the left and a preview on the right. that is a fine control panel and a poor shop: twenty-one rows sorted by nothing anybody cares about, where "something for my calendar" means reading all of them. now: tags down the left with counts, cards in a grid on the right, and clicking a card takes over the panel with a back link. three things about the shape. BOTH the filter and the selection are in the URL — ?tag= and ?selected=. a filter in component state is lost on Back, so filtering, opening a plugin and pressing Back would drop you in an unfiltered grid having lost your place. browser Back works for free for the same reason. selecting a tag also CLEARS the selection, because a detail for a plugin outside the new filter is a page the grid you are now looking at cannot return to. the detail REPLACES the grid rather than sitting beside it. a grid needs the width and a detail beside one gets half of it; neither reads well. the back link drops ?selected= and keeps ?tag=, which is the entire point of putting the filter there. the panel KEYS are unchanged though both components were replaced. a stored layout names them, and renaming would drop everyone back to the default arrangement for nothing — the key identifies a slot, not an implementation. two things found on the way. PluginItem and AvailablePlugin had no tags, so the api now carries them on both branches — from the manifest for a plugin that is here, from the catalogue for one that is not, same field either way. and the screen used useDashboardState, which persists the whole tree: the panels this ships would never have reached anyone who had opened it before. useAuthoredLayout takes the structure from source and persists only sizes, which is what an authored screen wants. 21/22 -> 22/78 as well: the left panel holds seven tags now, not twenty-one rows, and the width is worth more to the grid. verified: bundle contains the new panels, api returns tags for all 21 with none missing the field.

every brief the platform writes, where both harnesses will find it
opencode discovers AGENTS.md and nothing else — its only target is
H.up({targets:["AGENTS.md"]}), verified in the binary. claude code discovers
CLAUDE.md. no overlap.
every brief the platform wrote was CLAUDE.md, so under opencode a commander got
none of its standing brief, a bot none of its arming instructions, and a plugin
chat none of its plugin's guidance. nothing failed and nothing was logged: the
agent simply knew nothing, which is indistinguishable from the feature not
existing, and is why it lasted this long. commanders can already run under
opencode, so this was live.
writeAgentBrief puts the content in AGENTS.md and a POINTER in CLAUDE.md. a
pointer rather than two copies because these are rewritten every turn, two
copies of that will eventually disagree, and the stale one is the one somebody
reads.
three writers, and the third needed a flag the others must not have:
bots rewritten every turn ON PURPOSE, so a template change reaches them
plugin chats same
commanders onlyIfAbsent — a commander EXTENDS this file over its life, and
rewriting it when the template changed would delete the job it
had agreed with the owner
two things that would have quietly defeated it. the file listing handed to a
commander said "CLAUDE.md — this file", which would have had it editing the
pointer. and backfill-commander-credentials appended to CLAUDE.md, which on a
new commander means burying a credential section inside six lines nobody reads —
it targets AGENTS.md where one exists, CLAUDE.md where it does not, so old
commanders still work.
plugins ship these too: email and proxy-manager's chat/CLAUDE.md are now
chat/AGENTS.md. the platform accepts BOTH source names, because a plugin is its
own repository on its own release cadence and dropping the old name would
un-brief any installed copy that had not updated — silently, again.
tested: both files written, pointer is not a second copy, idempotent, rewrites
on change, and onlyIfAbsent leaves an extended brief alone. verified on disk
after a restart.

plugins say what they are for, and their checkouts stop lying about themselves
two things, and the second is why the first was painful. TAGS. the marketplace is going to be browsed rather than scrolled: tags on the left, the plugins carrying one on the right. a plugin declares its own in the manifest and the catalogue caches it on sync, exactly as it already does for label and summary — the alternative is editing a table every time a plugin ships, and a plugin that cannot say what it is. the vocabulary is CLOSED (PLUGIN_TAGS) because free text becomes homelab, home-lab, Home Lab and selfhosted inside a month, and a filter list of synonyms is worse than no filter. an unknown tag is refused at discovery BY NAME, so the author is told which tag rather than which array index. all 21 are tagged, each with a one-line note saying why, so a later disagreement is with a stated reason rather than a mystery. every tag has at least three plugins behind it — no filter opens onto an empty page. PLUGINS:CHECK. getting one commit into 21 repositories failed seven times and none of the reasons were about the commit: six remotes were HTTPS and cannot authenticate unattended, three checkouts were behind their remote, one URL had no .git suffix so the catalogue published a clone URL unlike every other, and offscale's fetch refspec named a branch that does not exist. that last one is why this is a script and not a habit. every command reported on a phantom — `git push` said "Everything up-to-date" while the branch looked diverged — and the repository was fine the whole time. twenty minutes spent in a repo with nothing wrong with it. none of it is visible until you try to push, which is the worst moment to learn it: mid-task, across 21 repositories, and every failure looks like it is about your change. so it checks the facts with one right answer — remote URL, fetch refspec, branch, upstream, dirty tree, ahead/behind — and exits non-zero. `--fix` is a separate flag so running the check can never be what changes your tree, and divergence is never auto-repaired because it needs a decision about content. verified by breaking each case on purpose and watching it catch them.

agents.md holds the instructions, claude.md points at it
opencode discovers only AGENTS.md, Claude Code only CLAUDE.md — so with the content living in CLAUDE.md, every doc here was invisible to opencode. Swaps all five pairs (root, src/apps, src/databases, themes, plugins): AGENTS.md now holds the full text verbatim, CLAUDE.md is a short pointer. docs-check's permission-count regex now reads root AGENTS.md instead of CLAUDE.md; the workspace-level officer-dev/CLAUDE.md check is untouched, out of scope. |

caldav leaves the platform
calendar and contacts are a plugin now — plugins/caldav, its own repository like every other one. a fresh machine runs five processes instead of seven and gets a calendar by installing one plugin, which is the whole point: the platform stops carrying a python calendar server for people who may not want one. what left: the radicale sidecar, four routers, the panel apps, the dav_app_passwords table, the two screens, the two dock tiles, the permission registry entry, the settings section, and radicale from every package list. three platform things had to change first, each committed on its own: |

a first-party plugin may claim a root path the platform reserved
caldav is not only /api/caldav. four of its surfaces are top-level and above the account gate on purpose, because DAVx5, iOS and Thunderbird send HTTP Basic on every request and have nowhere to put a JWT: /dav, the ios profile under it, and the two .well-known discovery paths a client probes before it has any credential. the mechanism for that already existed — unauthenticatedRootPaths, exclusive claims, first come wins. what stopped caldav using it was RESERVED_ROOT, and what that list was recording is worth being exact about: `dav` and `.well-known` are in it because the PLATFORM serves them today, not because they are dangerous in themselves. once caldav is a plugin, the thing the reservation protects IS the plugin, and keeping it would mean the platform permanently owning routes for a feature it no longer contains. so a reserved name is claimable by a first-party plugin and refused to everyone else. the owner drew that line today: fine for a plugin we wrote, and letting a stranger's plugin claim /dav is a question that needs thinking about properly rather than falling out of a flag. /api stays refused to us too — everything of officer's lives under it and protocolHeaders is the only sanctioned way in. .well-known needed two segments, which the single-segment rule refuses. allowed by NAME rather than by pattern, and the reason is in the same namespace: acme-challenge is how this machine gets its TLS certificates, so a plugin owning it could take the domain. caldav and carddav are on the list; nothing else is, for us as much as for anyone. the OPTIONS carve-out moved with it. hono's cors() answers every OPTIONS as a preflight and never calls the route beneath — which to a DAV client is not a preflight but the question "what can you do", answered by a header iOS refuses the account without. that was a literal list of four DAV paths; it asks the claim registry now, so it follows whoever owns the route rather than naming it here. verified: server boots (totality passes), /.well-known/caldav still 301s and /dav/ still asks for basic auth.

a plugin can be more than one screen
a plugin was one screen because the two things it declares — a mount prefix and a frontend — happened to be the same string. caldav is where that stops holding: one sidecar, one permission, one install, and two screens that have nothing to do with each other on screen. calendar and contacts are not sections of one page, and forcing them into one would be a worse product than the core screens they replace. nothing else moved. all eighteen plugins with a frontend use flat web/panels.ts, which is now "one screen, at the mount prefix, labelled by the manifest" — the same file, the same route, the same persisted layout key. the nested form is opt-in and caldav is its only user. the split of who declares what follows the rule this file already had. the DIRECTORY declares that a screen exists (web/<segment>/panels.ts); the MANIFEST says what to call it and which glyph to draw, because a directory listing cannot say either and those are a human's choice. the two are cross-checked and a mismatch is refused rather than reconciled: a segment with no directory renders nothing, a directory with no entry has no tile and no label, and both are the quiet kind of broken. the part that needed the most care is that a segment is a URL the plugin CHOSE — /calendar, not /caldav/calendar. mountPrefix is what makes it impossible for a plugin to shadow a core route, and a chosen segment steps straight out of it. so this is first-party only, refused at discovery, and tested: without that check this field is a way for any installed plugin to take over /files. screenId, not appName, is now the layout key and the panel allow-list's owner. two screens sharing one would persist over each other's sizes and each would accept the other's panels. existing plugins get screenId === appName, so no stored layout is orphaned — verified by regenerating. |

one resolver for where an email chat lives
the picker above an email composer listed conversations from the owner's home — a chat started somewhere else entirely, offered as if it belonged to the mailbox. the address had two resolvers. the chat socket knew `context: 'email'` and ran the turn in the account's directory; `GET /chat/sessions` did not, and fell through to `who.home`. so a message went into the mailbox and could not be found in the list directly above where it was typed. two answers to "where does this chat live" is one too many, and the one that was missing failed quietly. `resolveEmailAccountDir` in data-path.ts is now the only answer, and both call it. it verifies a client-named mailbox against disk rather than sanitising it into shape, which matters because the socket's caller ends in mkdirSync — an unrecognised value would not fail, it would CREATE a directory named after whatever arrived and run turns in it. `all`, the list's own sentinel for the unified view, is exactly the value most likely to arrive by accident. pure: no mkdir, no writes. the caller that needs the directory says so itself. tested, because a missing branch is what this was: the named mailbox wins, `all` never becomes a directory, a mailbox with no emails.db is not a mailbox, and no account at all resolves to the accounts root rather than to something invented.

a plugin declares its chat directory; email stops being hardcoded here
ChatPanelWrapper had one plugin's screen id compiled into a shared platform
package: `workspace.id === 'email'` → `{ context: 'email' }`. its own comment
said the general fix was a way for a plugin to DECLARE its chat context, and
that a second hardcoded id would be the signal it was needed. that fix exists
(`declared`), the email plugin now passes it, so the branch is gone.
it also could not fire any more, which is the part worth keeping. a plugin's
workspace key is `screens/plugin/<name>`, so email's id became `plugin/email`
the day it was extracted and the test silently stopped matching. a hardcoded id
does not fail loudly when the thing it names moves — it just stops being true,
and nothing said so for eight days.
two things on the backend half:
resolveEmailCwd now installs the email plugin's chat/CLAUDE.md. an email chat
runs in the account's directory, not the plugin's chats directory, so the
`plugin` branch never reaches it — the brief follows the chat rather than the
chat moving to the brief. a second plugin wanting this is the signal that
"which directory does this chat run in" belongs in the manifest.
and it verifies the mailbox exists before joining it. `accountEmail` comes from
the client (the mailbox picker's `?account=`) and this function ends in mkdirSync
— so an unrecognised value did not fail, it CREATED a directory named after
whatever arrived and ran the turn in it. the list's unified view uses the
sentinel `all`, which is the value most likely to show up by accident. the panel
drops it; this is the half that does not depend on the panel remembering to.
docs/claude-md-touchpoints.md updated: the copier now has two callers.
unrelated and NOT from this change: ModelSelector's "an unstarted composer gets
a default" fails on master too — verified by stashing these files and rerunning.

a deleted bot stays deleted
the bot came back three times after being deleted, untitled each time, and the
mechanism is worse than an orphan process.
its watch had no record, so deleting it stopped nothing. the watch kept polling,
fired, and the hand-back resumed the session by transcript id — at which point
`claude --resume` RECREATED the transcript that had just been deleted. so the
bot reappeared in the list and did it again on the next fire. same shape

a bot names itself after it arms
the automatic title is the owner's first sentence truncated — "can you notifiy me when https://newweb.fofos…", typo included. that is a prompt, not a name, and it is what they scan a list of bots for later. so after arming: two to four words, the subject and what is watched about it. "newweb uptime", "NYT front page". explicitly NOT "Website Monitor Bot" — every bot is a monitor and the word earns nothing in a list of them. this also closes the hand-wave in the record step. it said "your session id is the file name you were told to use — if you do not know it, look at which transcript you are in", which is not an instruction anybody can follow. now it lists /chat/sessions?context=bots and matches on the title, because claude titles a session from its first message and on the arming turn that entry is you. which puts the three steps in a REQUIRED order, stated: find your id, write the record, then rename. renaming first destroys the only thing that identifies you in that list.

deleting a bot stops it, and a dead bot wakes up
a bot was deleted tonight and its watcher was still polling a website eleven minutes later. nothing in the product could find it: a bot's watch is a detached shell process, killing the harness ends the agent, and the loop it started is not its child. so a bot writes <sessionId>.bot.json beside its script — what it watches, the script, the state file, the pids. that record is the ONLY thing connecting a process to the bot that owns it, and the brief now says so in those words rather than as bookkeeping. the id is in the FILENAME because bots share a directory: deleting knows only an id, so this is a lookup rather than a scan, and a record whose contents are damaged still gets found and cleaned up. DELETE /chat/sessions/:id tears it down after forgetting the tables — children first then the recorded pid, same ordering as stopCommanderProcesses, so the loop cannot spawn a replacement between the two. every transcript in the returned chain, not just the id asked for. unconditional rather than gated on "was this a bot", because the record only exists in the bots directory and a branch on cwd is a second place to get it wrong. script and state go too, and only if they are inside the bots directory — an agent wrote that path. and the reviver sweeps bots on the same tick. a record with pids and none of them alive is a stopped watch; there is no armed flag and there should not be, since the record is written when it arms, so its existence IS the intent. the three-wake bound is shared, keyed bot-<sessionId>. the wake prompt forbids reconstructing a watch from memory when the record is gone: a watch subtly different from the one agreed is worse than none, because it looks like it is working.

a bot is a card, not a conversation in a list
it looked like the generic chat panel because it WAS one, and that leaks the implementation at exactly the wrong moment: a bot is a chat underneath, and nobody using this should have to hold that. the session list says "conversation, last touched" because that is what a conversation is. so it gets Command HQ's object instead — a card with a name, an id pill, rename and delete, selected ring, controls on hover. same arrangement: the whole card is the link with the buttons layered over it, so a click anywhere opens it and the controls still work. the pill is the first eight characters of the session, which is also what an @mention carries. that is the point rather than a coincidence — the thing shown on the card is the thing typed to reference it. the panel's own header picker is gone. the cards are the list, and a second picker in the panel bar is the same choice offered twice. command hq does not have one either. deleting the selected bot navigates back to /bots, or the route points at something that no longer exists and renders an empty chat.

the brief carries the mechanism, so a bot stops going to find it
arming one watch took eight discovery calls and a 307-line read of the commander skill before anything happened. the brief said "use the background job you already know" and it did not know it, so it went looking — and what it found is a document about spawning agents in a loop, almost none of which applies to a bot. so the mechanism is written down here instead: write the script in this directory, run it with the Bash tool and run_in_background, the script waits in the shell and exits when the condition is true, the exit is the signal, re-arm before ending the turn. plus the shape almost every bot is a variation of, with the twice-in-a-row rule already in it. and it says NOT to read the commander skill, by name. an instruction to look somewhere is an invitation to read everything on the way. one real fix rides along: the first bot wrote its script to /tmp, which does not survive a reboot. the template puts the script and its state file beside each other in the bots directory, and says to write the new state BEFORE exiting — otherwise the next arming fires on the same change again.

/bots looks like Command HQ, and stops opening the wrong chat
TWO BUGS AND A LAYOUT. the first outing of /bots opened a months-old conversation about deleting proxy hosts. resume-newest called useClaudeSessions(absoluteCwd) with no context, and a screen that owns its own directory has cwd '~', so that join yields null and the hook listed the caller's HOME. the panel then resumed the newest thing there. same bug the header had, one function down; the declared context wins now. second: ChatPanelWrapper takes an optional sessionId, because a screen whose selection lives in the URL cannot also let usePanelSession decide — two sources would disagree and the URL would lose. null means "the screen chose a new chat", undefined means "no opinion", and collapsing them would make New snap back to the newest. the layout is Command HQ's: a narrow list left, the conversation right, and a route pair — /bots is the new-bot state, /bots/:sessionId is one of them. rows are real links, so cmd-click works and a reload keeps its place. no categories pane. a commander is a job somebody files and a filter earns its place; a bot is a sentence, and a filter over a handful of one-line watches would be furniture. no table either: every bot is a chat in bots/, so the list IS the session list for that directory. nothing to keep in step.

a bot has defaults, so it stops asking
"notify me when x.com is down" is a complete instruction. the brief now says so, and lists every question it was likely to ask along with the answer it should use instead: one minute, twice-in-a-row before calling something down, follow redirects, ten second timeout, extract the smallest stable piece rather than the whole page. two of those are the difference between a bot somebody keeps and one they turn off. firing on a single failed request produces a watcher nobody trusts. and the FIRST run establishes the baseline without firing — otherwise arming a headline watch immediately announces the current headline, which nobody asked about. and it can be told who to tell in prose. "@Name [id]" carries an id, but "the todo guy" is how it will actually be said — so: look it up in the chat list, match on title, use it if exactly one matches and say which. several matches is worth the one question. no match is worth asking. the line between defaulting and asking is stated rather than left to taste: no address at all is a question, a missing interval is not.

/bots — one sentence arms a watch
a bot is a chat whose working directory is bots/, armed through the background job any chat can already arm. no scheduler was written and none was needed: handoff already means "poll cheaply, wake the agent only when it fires", which is the expensive half of a commander without any of its ceremony. ONE directory, not one per bot. a commander earns its own because it is a job with procedures and a ledger; a bot is a sentence and a watch, and a directory each would mean a creation step before anything can be said. sharing it makes the list free — every bot is a chat in that cwd, so the header's picker is the list of bots. it earns NO permission of its own. /bots rides `chat`, because a bot adds no surface: same routes, same socket, same confinement. the registry says so rather than leaving the next reader to wonder. the brief is the feature. it tells the agent to arm on the FIRST message and not interview — pick a sensible interval, arm, say what you armed in one line, and let the owner correct it, which is cheaper for them than three questions. it says the owner will never say "notify" or "nudge" and must not have to. it forbids the loop that wakes on a timer to look for itself, which is the expensive mistake available here. and it draws the line: a bot watches and tells, it does not fix — a request for work is a commander, say so and stop. bots joins commanders and plugins in confineUserTree, third time: a member's bot runs as the member and a 700 service-user directory kills the turn on its own cwd.

a mention renders as a pill, and the id stops being visible
@Todo Guy [6305e570] read as literal text in the bubble, brackets and all, which is not what a reference should look like. it renders as a LINK node at #officer-mention-<id>, and the bubble's existing `a` override turns that into a pill. a span with a class was the obvious thing and does not survive — rehypeSanitize strips exactly that. a fragment href passes untouched. inlineCode also survives and was dropped because it cannot be told apart from somebody typing backticks around an @; only a real mention should look like one. it is a span rather than an anchor: there is nowhere to navigate to yet, and opening the referenced conversation is a real feature with its own decisions. it should not pretend to be clickable. the pill reads @Todo Guy. the [6305e570] stays in the text that reaches the agent, which is the entire reason it is there. discord does the same — a human reads a name, the machine reads an id. hand-rolled tree walk: installs are frozen and neither unist-util-visit nor @types/mdast is in the lockfile, so a nine-line walk does not get to change it. node shapes declared locally, only the fields this touches. tested against over-matching, which is the failure that would matter: an email address, a bracketed price, a non-hex id. eight hex characters is the guard.

@ in the composer, to reference another chat
type @, a list appears, keep typing to narrow, arrows to move, enter or tab to pick, escape to dismiss. the shape everybody already knows. it inserts `@Todo Guy [6305e570]` rather than just a name. the composer is a textarea — discord renders a pill because it uses a contenteditable, and matching that means replacing the composer — so a mention here is text, and the text has to carry enough to ACT on. 28 sessions on this machine, several with near-identical opening lines: "the todo one" is not a resolvable instruction. COMMANDERS COME FROM COMMAND HQ, not the chat list, and that is the whole reason this is not three lines. a commander's real name lives in its row; its transcript title is the setup preamble it was created with. a picker reading only /chat/sessions would show "You have been named "Platform Deployer", and that is th…" for exactly the sessions most worth referencing. the empty-query list is commanders then recent chats. it would be better to offer only sessions somebody NAMED — the server knows, as hasExplicitTitle — but that field is not in the client payload, and a heuristic for "does this look like a name" would be wrong more often than recency is. said so in the file rather than pretending. two details that are bugs if missed: the token follows the CARET, not the end of the value, so editing mid-sentence still opens the menu; and the query survives a space, because the names people give things have spaces in them and a picker that closed on the first one would miss every one of them. both tested.

a repair that cannot stick must not be written
useAuthoredLayout turned a harmless fallback into a hard crash, and /browser on fofos is where it showed: "This screen failed to render", react #185, maximum update depth exceeded. WorkspaceView's appTypes guard repairs an unrecognised appType and WRITES THE REPAIR BACK. that was self-limiting while the structure was persisted — the repair stuck and the next render agreed with it. with the structure coming from source, it can never stick: recomputed, rewritten, discarded, recomputed, every render, until react gives up. the browser plugin's layout names officerdev/chat, which is not one of its own panel keys, so every single render of that screen produced a repair. the same trap proxy-manager hit last night, except that one only rendered the wrong panel — this one loops. so a write whose result equals the current value is dropped. not an optimisation: it is the thing that terminates the loop. persisting an identical tree was pointless anyway. tested by grafting a repaired structure and asserting it comes back identical to the current value — which is the exact condition setValue now checks, so if it ever writes there, the loop is back.

"generating" is not "has an outstanding background task"
the guard I added yesterday to stop the reviver interrupting a commander mid-work disabled the feature entirely, and it took a real case to see it. it asked collectRunningTasks, which counts BACKGROUND TASKS. a commander's watcher IS a background task, and it stays outstanding until it reports a terminal state — which a killed process never does. so every commander with an armed watcher had one outstanding by definition, the guard read "busy" forever, and the reviver could never wake the one thing it exists for. found on the deploy commander tonight: loop dead, pid file saying so, and the task "Platform Deployer watcher — polls origin for deploy/* tags" still marked running from its own revival six hours earlier. permanently true. this is the shape I criticised in the nudger yesterday — a guard that could only ever be right by accident — written by me a few hours later. the right question was always whether the AGENT is mid-turn, which the sidecar answers directly and which the nudger was already asking before I removed it.

a screen can hear when a chat turn finished
ChatPanelWrapper already refreshed the file tree and the preview when a turn ran tools. it kept that to itself, so a screen whose own panels show something a turn can change had no way to know — which is every plugin with a chat beside a list. so onTurnComplete is a prop now, composed with the platform's own handling rather than replacing it. called for EVERY turn, outside the hadToolCalls guard, because "did anything I care about change" is a question about the caller's screen and not about this one — it gets the flag and decides. read through a ref: a caller passing an inline arrow would otherwise rebuild the callback every render, and it goes into EmbeddableChat.

a plugin briefs its chats with a file, not a prefix
a plugin said what its chats should know through promptPrefix, which rides every message. three costs, and the owner hit all of them: paid per turn forever, invisible as a design artefact because it lives in a typescript constant, and visible in the one place it should not be — he sent three words and watched a paragraph of preamble go out attached to them. so the platform now copies plugins/<name>/chat/CLAUDE.md into the chats directory whenever a chat starts there, and claude code reads it from its own cwd at session start. same words, no per-turn cost, and a file the person it is about can open and edit. COPIED, which looks like it contradicts docs/plugin-capabilities.md. it does not: that rule is about files the PLATFORM reads, where a copy goes stale and survives an uninstall. this one is read by claude code from a cwd, so it has to exist there — no indirection changes where that program looks. the staleness is answered by rewriting on every resolve rather than once at install, so the file is always this version of the plugin's and plugins:update needs no republish step. skipped when the content already matches, so mtimes do not churn. best effort: no brief is the ordinary case, and a chat that cannot be given one still runs.

the picker stopped overruling the default
a new chat offered fable. not displayed it — SELECTED it, sent it, and the server honoured the choice it was given. the composer's fallback was providerModels[0], the first entry in the catalogue, which is not a default but an ordering accident. the file already carried a comment about the day fable was added above opus and every resumed session came back claiming fable; the same accident then quietly defeated the whole server-side default. so the fallback prefers the platform's default and uses catalogue order only when that model is not in the provider's list at all — which is every opencode model, where there is no officer-wide default to prefer. and a test, because a comment cannot hold a constant mirrored across two packages. it asserts the client's copy equals the server's, and that the value names a tier rather than the bare harness. both of the ways this default has been defeated are now failures a test catches: a drifted mirror, and a stored harness read as a choice.

a screen can declare its own chat context
ChatPanelWrapper's own comment asked for this: "the general fix is a way for a
plugin to declare a chat context, which does not exist. Until it does, adding a
SECOND id here is the signal that it needs to." this is the general fix rather
than the second id.
a caller passes chatContext; the workspace-derived branch stays for the screens
the platform mounts, including the hardcoded 'email' one, which is not a caller
that could pass anything.
the listing needed the same. ChatHeader derives an absolute cwd by joining the
workspace's home-relative path onto the account home — right for a dashboard,
impossible for a plugin, whose directory the server builds and never sends. so
useClaudeSessions takes a context instead and lets the server resolve the same
path it resolved for the turn. it goes in the query key too, or two plugins
share one cached list.
ChatHeader is exported now, because a registry header is mounted with only
{ panelId } — binding a context means wrapping it.

a plugin can ask for its own chats back
a plugin's chats run in $DATA_PATH/<email>/plugins/<appName>/chats, built server-side and deliberately never sent to the browser. which left the plugin able to START conversations in its own directory and with no way to LIST them — the path is the one thing it cannot name. so /chat/sessions takes ?context=plugin&contextId=<appName> and resolves it the same way the turn does. the four call sites already shared cwdOf; it takes the identity now rather than just the home. the plain ?cwd= form stays for /chat, where the user picks a directory and knows what they picked. it is not a hole either way: listClaudeSessions reads that identity's own ~/.claude/projects, so naming another directory shows you your own conversations elsewhere, never anybody else's.
