pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b9524ee4d5 prefix the env with OFFICERDEV_, and keep reading the bare names
PORT, PUBLIC_URL and POSTGRES_URL are names half the software in the world
uses. Bun auto-loads .env into EVERY process started in the platform directory,
so a bare PORT reaches the sidecars, the tools they spawn and anything an agent
runs from here — and a bare POSTGRES_URL reaches things with no business
holding a database credential.

Four parts.

officer-setup now writes OFFICERDEV_-prefixed names, with the reasoning in the
generated file so whoever opens it later knows why.

Every consumer reads `OFFICERDEV_X ?? X` — eleven sites across the databases,
the DAV router, officer-url.mjs, os-user-postgres and two scripts. The bare
name is the FALLBACK, never the source, which is what makes this safe to ship
before every machine has been converted.

`bun run fix:env` converts a file in place. Idempotent, preserves comments and
`export`, leaves the value untouched including an `=` inside it, and refuses to
touch names belonging to other software — prefixing PATH or NODE_ENV does not
rename a variable, it deletes it.

And it runs on every restart from the server settings screen. There rather than
at boot because a restart is the one moment the file can be rewritten and take
effect in the same breath: the process about to start is the one that reads it.
Non-fatal, since the fallback means the worst case is that nothing changed.

gen-index reads either spelling out of the file directly, because it is run by
hand as often as by the setup and a bare shell has no .env loaded.

Verified by converting this machine's own .env: PORT, PUBLIC_URL and the
database all still resolve, gen:index still finds its URL, 1152 pass.

pastilhas 2e8ec845c8 step 1/4: the permission engine is called permissions, not capabilities
The word meant four different things in this repo, not the three the offscale
doc records:

  1. the permission registry              → RENAMED here
  2. $OFFICER_ROOT/capabilities/ items    → kept; this is what capabilities are
  3. sidecar routing keys                 → step 3, becoming `handles`
  4. Lightning wallet features            → kept; a domain term, and on the wire
                                            to the mobile apps

The fourth was not in the doc and a global find-and-replace would have broken
the mobile wallet, which reads `{ kind, capabilities: Capability[] }` from the
wallet sidecar. So this renamed against an explicit file allowlist rather than
by sweeping the tree, and `CapabilityPage.tsx` — the UI for the item store, and
correctly named already — was left alone.

Moved: servers/capabilities/ → servers/permissions/, capability-gate.ts →
permission-gate.ts, users/capabilities-routes.ts → permissions-routes.ts,
hooks/useCapabilities.ts → usePermissions.ts. Identifiers follow.

Three breaks the typechecker could not see, all found by exercising it live.

The route paths moved with the prose sweep, so the server served
/user/permissions while the frontend still called /user/capabilities. A 404 on
every page load, and tsgo clean throughout.

The response FIELD moved too. `client.get<SelfPermissions>()` is an unchecked
cast, so `data.capabilities` became `undefined` at runtime with no compile
error — `can()` would have answered "no" to everything and the dock would have
emptied itself.

And the grants list was passed straight out of the database, so it arrived as
`{ role, capability, level }` while the screen read `grant.permission`. Every
role would have rendered as holding nothing. It is now mapped in the route:
the wire says `permission`, the column still says `capability`, and step 2
therefore changes nothing any client can see.

The stale react-query keys were the quiet one: two files still invalidated
['self-capabilities'] after the hook moved to ['self-permissions'], so
installing a plugin would have silently stopped refreshing the dock.

The database is untouched — `role_capabilities` and its `capability` column are
step 2, and the two call sites that cross that boundary say so in a comment.
Round-tripped the 9 live grants through the admin endpoint to prove the PUT
contract survived: 9 before, 9 after, Member's three intact.

Also reverted prettier churn on five landing-page files that a broad --write
picked up. Second time today; the lesson is not sticking.

tsgo clean. 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7 pre-existing failures — two of which
now read "path → permission" rather than "path → capability".

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e13128846b offscale is a 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.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fb0286e1a9 put rootless docker back, behind the developer gate
Uncommented at all three sites: the call and import in provisionOsAccount, the
~/.local/dockers bind-mount directory in confineUserTree, and the DOCKER_HOST block in
the member zshrc.

Not restored unconditionally, which is how it was before. It now sits behind the same
Developer check as the Postgres role — the gate that prompted disabling it in the first
place. So rolePermitsDatabase is renamed rolePermitsDevTools: it gates two things now
and a name saying "database" while deciding whether you get containers is the kind of
comment that goes stale silently.

~/.local/dockers is created for EVERY account rather than only Developers. It is two
install calls, and confineUserTree is the function that places the layout, not the one
that knows who is a Developer — so a member promoted later finds it already correct.

Postgres role work is untouched and still in place.

Verified: transpiles.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 bf7e919593 only a Developer gets a postgres role
The gate rootless Docker was under, which I did not know about when the Postgres role
replaced it. It inherits the rule along with the purpose: a member not trusted to run
containers is not thereby trusted to run databases.

rolePermitsDatabase() is the single place that rule is written. Admin is deliberately
NOT included — administering the platform is not developing on it, and they are
separate roles precisely so they can be held separately. Say so if that is wrong.

provisionOsAccount now takes the role. Two call sites: create-user passes what the
owner picked, provision-linux-route reads it from the row — which makes that route
the way a member promoted to Developer gets the database role they did not qualify
for when their account was made.

The half that makes the gate real is in updateUserRoleHandler. Without it the rule
would decide what a Developer gets at creation and never look again, so demoting one
would leave their role, their databases and a working password in their ~/.zshenv —
a permission surviving its own revocation, with the UI then saying something untrue.

Revoke before recording, grant after: the drop runs BEFORE updateUser so a failure
aborts with the role unchanged and the whole thing retryable. Promotion runs after and
is non-fatal, like every other provisioning step.

Demotion keeps their data, same as deletion — databases are reassigned to the platform
role, not dropped — and logs where it went, so it does not look deleted.

KNOWN, not handled: a demoted member keeps a stale ~/.pgpass and ~/.zshenv naming a
role that no longer exists. Harmless (the connection just fails) but untidy, and it
means `cat ~/.zshenv` shows a password that no longer works.

Verified: transpiles, both call sites updated. Still no tsgo.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2ac58e2007 drop the postgres role when a member is decommissioned
It was written and never called — dropPostgresRole had zero call sites, so deleting a
member left their role and databases on the cluster.

That is the uid trap in a different id space, and worse. provisionPostgresRole ADOPTS
an existing role, so a role left behind is inherited whole, with its databases, by the
next member who gets the same username. useradd hands out the lowest free uid by
accident; the owner hands out usernames on purpose, so reuse is likelier here, not
less.

Rewritten to PRESERVE rather than destroy. The first version dropped the databases,
which is inconsistent with severMemberTree three files away — that chowns a member's
files to the service user rather than deleting them, and a database is the same kind
of thing. The owner removing an account has not necessarily asked to destroy the work
in it, and dropping is the one choice that cannot be walked back.

Needs the full idiom, per database, and both halves matter:

  ALTER DATABASE .. OWNER TO         REASSIGN OWNED does not move database ownership
  REASSIGN OWNED BY .. TO ..         moves tables, schemas, functions
  DROP OWNED BY ..                   removes what is left, which after a reassign is
                                     only the GRANTS — without it DROP ROLE still
                                     refuses, an ACL entry is a dependency too

Both statements act only on the database they are connected to, so it is a connection
per database rather than a loop over `db`.

Ordered after the Linux teardown (which can fail and abort, and must not do so after
something irreversible) and before deleteUser (the row is what remembers there is
anything to clean up).

Verified live: a member with a database, a table, a row and a schema. Naive DROP ROLE
refused with "2 objects in database carol_app". After the sequence: role gone, row
intact, table owned by postgres. Then recreated the same username and confirmed she is
REFUSED from the old database — the login trigger holds because ownership moved.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 9f15de3448 put the postgres credentials somewhere findable
The password now lands in ~/.zshenv as PGHOST/PGPORT/PGUSER/PGPASSWORD, as well as in
~/.pgpass. Asked for on the grounds that it is an easier place to remember, which is a
real requirement — a credential you cannot find is one you will ask about every time.

.zshenv rather than the .zshrc that was asked for, for two reasons, neither about
secrecy:

  - zsh sources .zshrc for INTERACTIVE shells only. Verified: `zsh -c` prints an empty
    PGUSER when it is set there, and the right one from .zshenv. A script, a cron entry
    or an agent turn running psql would silently get nothing.
  - .zshrc is a shared template and seedShellConfig only updates it while it still
    matches byte-for-byte, so members keep their edits. A per-member password in it
    would strand every member on the template they were created with — a silent
    maintenance break rather than a tradeoff.

Both files are still written because they are not redundant: .pgpass is what libpq
reads with no shell involved, so it is the one that works for psycopg, a systemd unit
or a compiled binary. The rotate condition now covers both — either missing means we
cannot reconstruct it from the other, so we regenerate.

Also drops the `head -1 ~/.pgpass` parsing I had put in the zshrc template. It was a
hack, and the values are in the environment before that file is read now anyway.

Verified: zsh sourcing order and both shell types, transpiles. Still no tsgo.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 3ca7f5f331 close the cross-member database leak with a login event trigger
The residue the last commit documented is gone. A database one member creates is now
refused to every other member at connection time, so the catalogue metadata never
becomes readable in the first place.

Both obvious routes are dead ends, measured rather than assumed: datacl is not
inherited from the template, and CREATE DATABASE fires no event trigger because it is
a global object. What works is a `login` event trigger (PG17+) installed in template1
— event triggers live in a per-database catalogue and CREATE DATABASE copies the
template's catalogues, so every member-created database carries it automatically. No
naming convention, no sweep, no window.

The first version put the function in `public` and a member defeated it in one
statement:

  DROP FUNCTION public.officer_owner_only() CASCADE;   -- takes the trigger with it

They could not drop or disable the trigger itself, but in PG15+ `public` is owned by
pg_database_owner — which resolves to THEM in their own database — and a schema owner
may drop objects in it they do not own. Both objects were owned by postgres and it
made no difference. Caught because I tried it rather than reasoned about it.

Moved into a platform-owned schema with PUBLIC revoked. Every route then refused:
DROP EVENT TRIGGER, ALTER .. DISABLE, DROP FUNCTION, DROP SCHEMA, ALTER SCHEMA ..
OWNER TO, CREATE OR REPLACE over the top, and PGOPTIONS=-c event_triggers=off (that
GUC is superuser-only). A superuser can still set it, which is the recovery path.

ensureTemplateIsolation opens its own short-lived connection because a connection
cannot change database and CREATE DATABASE requires no other session on the template
— a pooled connection to template1 would make every member's `createdb` fail.

Verified live, end to end: alice in her own, bob refused, alice refused from bob's,
postgres in, owner reads and writes normally, and both members refused CONNECT on
`officer`. Probe roles and databases dropped; template1 keeps the trigger, which is
the intended state.

Still not typechecked — node_modules is empty in this tree.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2273941e71 give each member a postgres role instead of a docker daemon
A Postgres login role named the same as their Linux account, with CREATEDB, plus a
~/.pgpass so psql never prompts. This is what replaces rootless Docker: the case it
was really there for was "let me run a database to develop against", and a container
per member answered it with a daemon, an image cache and a subuid range each.

Measured on postgres:18-alpine before writing any of it, because three things I
asserted turned out to be wrong:

  - a fresh LOGIN role CAN connect to `officer` (datacl NULL = PUBLIC has CONNECT),
    but CANNOT read any application table — privileges are owner-only, so
    has_table_privilege('users','UPDATE') is false. The capability model was never
    reachable from here.
  - the `trust` line in pg_hba does not cover host connections: Docker's NAT rewrites
    the source, so they fall through to scram-sha-256. Verified with a wrong password.
  - revoking from the ROLE does nothing. Privileges are additive and there is no DENY;
    only revoking from PUBLIC is a lock.

So ensureAppDatabaseClosed revokes CONNECT+TEMPORARY on the platform's own database
from PUBLIC, and it runs inside provisionPostgresRole rather than in the setup script
— an install set up before today, or restored from a dump, then still cannot end up
with a member who can connect to `officer`.

Password is generated per member, 40 chars, rejection-sampled over an alphanumeric
alphabet: CREATE ROLE is a utility statement and cannot take a bind parameter, so the
safety comes from the alphabet rather than from escaping. Not stored anywhere — it
lives in their 600 ~/.pgpass, the same posture as their SSH key, where we keep only
the public half. Only (re)set when .pgpass is missing, so a reprovision does not
rotate a credential they may have pasted into an app config.

KNOWN RESIDUE, not handled: a database one member creates is metadata-readable by
another. datacl is not inherited from the template (measured: closing template1 and
creating from it still produced NULL), and CREATE DATABASE fires no event trigger, so
nothing can close it at creation. A second member can read table and column NAMES from
the catalogue. They cannot read a row and cannot create anything. Closing it needs a
sweep or a pg_hba rule per member; both are decisions, not details.

Verified live against the running cluster: role creation, refusal on `officer`,
creating and using two databases, and the DROP ... WITH (FORCE) teardown. All probe
roles and databases dropped afterwards.

NOT verified: bunx tsgo, still — node_modules is empty in this tree. The drizzle
return shape was checked by reading PostgresJsQueryResultHKT (RowList<T[]>, extends
Array) rather than by running it.
