pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4ca4becaa8 plugins: a dependency can declare the architecture its package needs
Minesweeper could not be installed by the plugin flow at all. Its game is an
i386 PE, so it needs wine32:i386 — and that package does not exist on a 64-bit
host until dpkg has been told the architecture does. No package name can say
that, so the step fell outside the manifest entirely and had to be run by hand,
which meant an install that reported success and left a game dying with
`Bad EXE format` several steps from anything mentioning architectures.

Two fields, both declarative:

`multiarch: 'i386'` on an osDependency. The platform runs `dpkg
--add-architecture` and `apt-get update` before installing, apt hosts only,
skipped when already enabled. It is a closed enum rather than a command
because it runs as root: a manifest that could supply the string could run
anything as root on every machine that installs the plugin, which is a much
larger grant than "may install wine". Same principle as a plugin websocket
naming a sidecar rather than a port.

`packages.apt` may now be a LIST. One binary really can need more than one
package — `wine` provides the launcher on PATH and `wine32:i386` the 32-bit
loader, and either alone gives a wine that cannot run what the plugin came for.
Every element goes through the same regex and reaches apt as separate argv, so
a list is no more powerful than the names in it. The regex also now accepts an
architecture suffix from the same closed set.

Enabling an architecture is system-wide and permanent — nothing here ever
disables one, including plugins:delete, because by then something else may
depend on it. So it is reported before the owner consents rather than mentioned
in a log afterwards, and only for dependencies actually being installed: a
binary already present had its architecture enabled at some point in the past.

multiarch.test.ts pins the enum against shell-shaped input, the suffix against
an unknown arch, and the report against re-announcing a change that is not
happening. 1409 pass.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 6e092c32ea marketplace: minesweeper in the catalogue
Without an entry the plugin is invisible to every server but this one — the
catalogue is what a remote host reads, and the bundled constant is only the
fallback when marketplace.officer.dev cannot be reached.

Its git remote was the tailnet address, which marketplace-sync would have
published verbatim: a clone URL that works on this network and nowhere else,
failing at authentication in a way that reads as a broken plugin rather than a
wrong catalogue. Repointed at gitea.officer.dev, which is the rule the sync
script's own comment already spells out.

Synced. 18/18, and the entry is live with the right source, permissions and six
osDependencies; the repo answers an anonymous https clone.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fbdfd3fb89 minesweeper leaves the platform; plugin sockets relay ws-to-ws
Minesweeper is now plugins/minesweeper (gitea.officer.dev/plugins/minesweeper).
Removes /api/minesweeper, the Dashboard screen, the officerdev panel, the
permission registry entry, the App.tsx route and the hand-written websocket
provider in server.tsx. Registry entries: 22 -> 21, execution 4 -> 3.

The relay changed transport, and that is the part worth reading.

A sidecar announces exactly one port. That single announcement is the whole
provenance argument in target.ts — the platform watched the port arrive at
registration, which is the only thing separating it from a number a manifest
asserted. But a raw-TCP relay requires that port to BE a raw TCP listener, so
the sidecar cannot also serve HTTP on it, and the plugin's ordinary routes
have to fall back to the typed command vocabulary over the registration
socket. That is the mechanism the fleet has spent months retiring, and
Minesweeper would have been the first thing to go back to it.

Relaying websocket-to-websocket dissolves the conflict. The sidecar serves
HTTP and /ws on the one port it announced, exactly as the pty sidecar already
does; createSidecarProxy handles the HTTP half; and the conversion from frames
to whatever the plugin actually speaks happens inside the plugin, which is the
only process that knows. The relay is still ignorant of the payload — the
ignorance sits one layer up.

Also: the caller's JWT is no longer forwarded upstream. A sidecar has no use
for it and forwarding one puts a bearer token into whatever that process logs.
X-Officer-User carries the only part it needs. (The terminal relay still
forwards its token to the pty sidecar; not touched here.)

Verified: bunx tsgo clean, bun test 1403 pass / 0 fail, bun run docs:check
green.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f2f3ca12ba a plugin websocket targets a sidecar, never a port a manifest picked
The fixed-port form shipped this morning and lasted about an hour. The owner asked
whether declaring a port was safe, and it is not: nothing stopped a manifest naming
a port it does not own, so `websocket: { port: 5432 }` plus a grant would have been
a raw TCP relay onto Postgres — authenticated by the platform, available to anyone
that plugin was granted to. Port 22 and officer's own port are the same sentence.

The relay checked that the HOST was loopback and I mistook that for having checked
anything about the port. They are different questions and only the second one
matters: loopback is exactly where everything worth reaching already is.

So the only form is `{ sidecar }`. A sidecar's port is trustworthy for a reason a
declaration can never be — the platform watched it arrive at registration, so the
association between a port and a plugin is observed rather than asserted. The same
distinction that decides the delegation problem in todo/agent-coordination: a claim
is not evidence, whoever is making it.

The cost is that a plugin wanting a socket needs a sidecar. That is not ceremony,
it is the thing that makes the port mean anything. It was added as a shortcut for
Minesweeper, whose x11vnc listens on a known port — which is precisely the case
that looked harmless and generalised into a hole.

Nothing had used it. Minesweeper is still whole in the platform and its extraction
had not started.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 eba0e86758 a plugin can serve a websocket
Bun's route table is fixed at serve() and WS_ROUTES is read once before it, so a
plugin installed afterwards could never add a socket route. That was a hard
ceiling, not a preference: /minesweeper had to live in the platform and
plugins/desktop could not stream a display at all.

The way out was already in the tree and had one consumer. dev-proxy serves a socket
with no WS_ROUTES entry, through a WILDCARD route whose handler calls
server.upgrade itself. Nothing has to become dynamic, because a plugin name is a
path segment rather than a route — one wildcard declared at boot serves every
plugin that will ever be installed.

Authorisation is the PLUGIN's own capability, asked as if the socket were a GET
against its HTTP prefix. That is the safety argument: there is no second permission
to grant, forget, or drift, so granting a plugin grants its socket and revoking it
closes it. It is also why plugin-ws is exempt from the boot totality check rather
than carrying a registry entry — one entry covering every plugin's socket would
mean granting one plugin granted them all.

A target is a TCP address and never a URL, which keeps the relay ignorant of what
it carries. That ignorance is the only reason one relay can serve an RFB display
and a line-oriented sidecar. Loopback only and not configurable: a plugin naming an
arbitrary host would be a request-forgery primitive handed to every plugin author.

sidecarPort() is new because createSidecarProxy learned announced ports per-proxy
and that state was unreachable from anywhere else — a second subscription would
have been a second thing to keep in step.

Verified: boots past the totality gate, and both an existing and a non-existent
plugin refuse 401 before revealing which. NOT yet verified: that it relays a byte.
Minesweeper is about to be the first caller, which is what proves it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d043e6650a name a published extension for itself, not "extension.zip"
extension.zip says nothing once it is in a Downloads folder — not what it is, not which server it came
from, and not which of two it is. The name comes from the extension's own manifest.json, which already
carries what a browser will show: "Officer Browser Relay" becomes officer-browser-relay.zip.

Generic, since extensions are meant to be a marketplace of them: any plugin shipping extension/ gets a
file named after its own manifest, falling back to <appName>-extension.zip when that cannot be read —
still better than extension.zip, and it never throws, because a broken extension manifest should fail
the install for its own reason rather than because a file could not be named.

Uninstall removes both names. An install from earlier today published extension.zip, and leaving that
behind would serve a stale extension for a plugin that is gone.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 cfb2f98ccb plugins can ship a browser extension, published unauthenticated
The browser relay is the first extension, not the last, so `extension/` is now a directory any plugin
may ship — like `assets/` — and the installer zips it to public/plugins/<name>/extension.zip, served
by the existing /plugins/* wildcard with no auth.

Unauthenticated deliberately. An `<a download>` is a plain navigation with no Bearer header, so an
authenticated URL makes Chrome say "Try to sign in to the site. Then, download again" — advice that
cannot work, because signing in is not what is missing. Nothing in an extension is secret; the pairing
token is, it is entered afterwards, and it is not in the archive.

Built at install rather than committed. The file it replaces was hand-built and had drifted 58 lines
behind its source, serving an extension missing the multi-session recovery path.

zip.ts writes stored entries with fixed timestamps — no host `zip` binary, and identical bytes for an
unchanged directory.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e44c0c7665 the browser relay leaves, and /scrape stops pretending to be it
plugins/browser now owns the extension, the relay, the CDP bridge, the pairing routes and the two
panels. All of it was on disk and switched off since 2026-08-13 — nothing was recovered from history,
and nothing regressed, because none of it had been running.

What the platform keeps is /scrape, and the two were never one feature split in half. Scrape launches
a headless chromium through playwright as the OWNER and knows nobody; the plugin attaches to the
browser a person is already signed into, scoped per pairing. The permission is renamed "Scraping" so
the registry stops describing one thing in the other's words, and it drops the /browser frontend route
it could no longer serve.

Two dead screens went with it. BrowserScreen and DesktopScreen were officer-web screens rendering
panels through appType placeholders — a plugin supplies its own route and panels through
Plugins.gen.tsx, so both were redundant the moment their plugins existed. DesktopScreen was a leftover
from this morning's extraction that typechecked cleanly while rendering a panel the AppRegistry no
longer had: dead at runtime, invisible to the compiler.

The long comment in server.tsx explaining BROWSER_RELAY_PORT goes too, replaced by a pointer to where
it lives now. It was written for whoever did this extraction, and this is that.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0a1f1ce6df publish desktop, and stop counting node_modules as a plugin
The catalogue row and the bundled offline fallback, so the plugin installs from the marketplace like
every other. Listed honestly: its permission is owner-only at every path, and its websocket is not
mounted yet — the README and BLOCKERS.md say so rather than letting an install discover it.

marketplace-sync globs plugins/ itself rather than going through discoverPlugins, so the node_modules
skip added there did not cover it. Same fix, second place: it was reporting 15/16 and 16/17.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b1a2d67b76 plugins: node_modules is not a broken plugin
The shared install target for plugin npm packages lives in plugins/ because bun resolves node_modules
up the tree. Discovery then found it, failed to read a manifest, and reported it as broken on every
call — a warning nobody can act on, and a denominator that made the marketplace sync report 15/16.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4efc2552d0 os-deps: a dependency declares who has to be able to run it
The probe asked the owner's login shell where a binary was, and the install reported that as a fact
about the machine. For a confined plugin the work happens as the member's own Linux user, in their own
home, where the owner's ~/.local/bin is neither on PATH nor reliably reachable.

On alpha it worked — because /home/pastilhas happens to be mode 751, world-traversable, so an
absolute path resolved. At 750, the more usual default, every member would have lost every binary with
nothing reporting it: the install would still have said satisfied, having only ever asked the owner.
Nobody chose 751, and that is the part worth fixing.

`scope: 'owner' | 'shared'` on an osDependency, defaulting to owner, an unrecognised value being a
manifest error rather than a silent fall back to the permissive one.

Shared changes three things. It is searched for on system directories only — asking the owner's shell
would find the copy in the owner's home and call it satisfied, the exact false pass this exists to
stop. Reachability is checked as world-executable AND every parent traversable to the root, because a
binary at 755 inside a home at 700 is unreachable and stat on the file alone says it is fine. And a
release binary goes to /usr/local/bin through sudo -n install, staged in the owner's space first so
the download itself never runs as root.

An unreachable shared dependency gets its own state and refuses the install ahead of every other
check, because no package manager fixes it: the binary is installed and works, and what is wrong is
where it lives — reinstalling would report success and change nothing.

Not a security boundary, and docs/plugin-dependency-scope.md says so: anything in /usr/local/bin is
runnable by any account with a shell, grant or no grant. That is already true of ffmpeg. The plugin's
data is gated; its executable is not.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 87603b800b os-deps: ask the owner's shell where a binary is, instead of guessing directories
`Bun.which` reads the PATH this process started with, and under PM2 that is minimal — a release binary
fetched during an install was reported missing seconds later by the same install. The fix was
prepending ~/.local/bin here.

That is guessing at somebody's environment from inside a crippled one, and guessing does not converge.
rustup puts cargo in ~/.cargo/bin, nvm puts node elsewhere, and every per-user installer adds a
directory nobody listed. The iris plugin duly wrote its own copy of the function with ~/.cargo/bin
bolted on, which then disagreed with this one: the manifest probe refused a rustup-only machine that
the sidecar could build on perfectly well.

There is nothing to guess. The platform runs as the owner, plugins are installed by the owner, and the
owner has a shell whose rc files already put all of it on PATH — that is what those files are for. So
ask it: `$SHELL -lc 'command -v <binary>'`, with the shell taken from passwd rather than
process.env.SHELL, which under PM2 is whatever started the daemon. sessions.mjs already draws that
distinction for terminals; this is the same fact applied to dependency probing.

A login shell because ~/.cargo/env and friends are sourced from profile files an interactive-only
shell may skip. `command -v` because it is a POSIX builtin whatever the shell is. Two-second timeout
so an rc file that waits for input cannot hang an install. Bun.which stays as the fallback, with
~/.local/bin prepended there and only there, for an account with no usable shell.

Exported as locateBinary so a plugin's sidecar asks the same question the install did, rather than
writing a second answer.

Verified on this machine: the login shell resolves ~/.local/bin and ~/.opencode/bin, neither of which
is on this process's PATH, and finds a binary Bun.which cannot see.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 10feb76880 permissions: a plugin can mark part of its surface owner-only
A plugin worth granting to a Member can also hold the credential the rest of it runs on. Jellyfin's
/_config stores a server's admin token and drives account provisioning; the rest of the plugin is
exactly what a Member should have. The choice was all of it or none of it.

`ownerOnly` on a plugin permission takes sub-paths relative to the mount prefix. The permission stays
fully grantable — this is not the ownerOnly PERMISSION that manifest.ts refuses, and that refusal
still stands: a permission nobody can delegate is a contradiction. This says a few paths administer
the plugin rather than use it.

Declared by the plugin, enforced by the platform. A plugin could check this itself and the first one
would; the tenth would add a route and forget, with no boot failure and no warning — the shape
assertPermissionTotality exists to prevent. In the gate it is enforced once, on the door they all
pass through, and a route added later by someone who never read the manifest is covered by default.

Checked before selfService and before kind. A path that is somehow both self-service and owner-only
is a contradiction, and the safe reading has to win. A write grant does not unlock it either — level
is not the question this answers.

Also forwards X-Officer-Owner and X-Officer-Level to a sidecar whose proxy names its permission key,
for the finer decisions the platform cannot make for it: whose rows a read returns, which fields a
level may see. Facts, never the role name — a plugin branching on "Super Admin" would give every
plugin repository an opinion about the platform's role vocabulary, and renaming a role would change
authorization in code the platform does not own. These are safe to trust only because the proxy
copies a three-item allowlist off the inbound request; that is now written where it would be changed.

The owner's level is reported as write rather than the absent 'none': they hold everything implicitly
and appear in no grants map, so the raw lookup inverts the meaning for the one account that can do
anything.

No plugin declares one yet. Jellyfin cannot until connections stop being per-user — locking /_config
today leaves a Member with a plugin that only shows a connect form they may not submit.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 da30d1a69e plugins: a reinstalled plugin was still being read from the deleted one
Delete jellyfin, install it again at a newer commit, connect a server — and no accounts were created,
no mapping rows written, and no error anywhere. Every step reported success.

The new checkout writes manifest.ts at exactly the path the old one occupied, and `await import(path)`
returns the module it already has: ESM caches by resolved specifier, and the specifier did not change.
So the platform kept obeying the manifest of a plugin that was no longer on disk. That manifest
predates `userProvisioning`, so the plugin was judged not entitled to the account list, the sidecar
was sent nothing, and provisioning skipped with "the platform has not sent the account list yet" —
a report that goes into the response body nobody reads.

It began working four minutes later for a reason that had nothing to do with the plugin: officer was
restarted for an unrelated deploy, which emptied the module registry.

`importFresh` keys the import on the file's mtime, so a file that changed is evaluated again and one
that did not is still a cache hit — `discoverPlugins` runs on every sidecar registration, every mount
and every plugins page load, so a Date.now() key would leak a module instance each time.

Used for the manifest, the api router and the db schema. For manifests it is complete: every manifest
imports one thing, `import type { PluginManifest }`, which is erased before it runs, so they are leaf
modules. For the other two it narrows the window rather than closing it — only the named file is
re-read, and its own static imports come back from the cache. A restart is still the only thing that
guarantees a plugin's whole module graph is the one on disk, and that is written down in the file
rather than left to be rediscovered.

The test pins the failure and not the mechanism: one case proves a plain import keeps serving a
manifest that is no longer on disk, the next proves importFresh sees the replacement, and a third
proves an unchanged file is evaluated once. mtimes are set explicitly, because two writes inside one
millisecond would otherwise decide the result.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 16dd67a3ca plugins: enabling pulls first, so a plugin off for a week comes back current
A disabled plugin keeps its directory, and the directory is what the next start runs. The longer it
stays off the more certainly it is stale, and enabling would quietly run whatever was current on the
day it was switched off — with every step reporting success, which is exactly how the jellyfin
install on alpha re-applied a two-day-old checkout.

Deleting no longer has that problem, since it takes the directory with it and installing is always a
fresh clone. That left disable/enable as the one remaining way to run old code without being told.

The pull is best-effort and the enable is not. `updatePlugin` returns ok:false when a pull is
refused, and it is refused for reasons that say nothing about whether the plugin can run: a dirty
working tree — every plugin directory on this machine is one — an unreachable forge, or a directory
copied in rather than cloned. Enable is the reversible half of a pair with disable, and a switch that
will not turn back on because a network is down is worse than one running last week's code. So the
refresh reports which of those happened and the enable proceeds regardless; a re-apply that fails
falls back to the code already on disk, which was running before it was disabled.

Tested by the refusal path rather than the happy one: a directory that is not a checkout comes back
having reported "not refreshed", and the error that surfaces is about not being installed rather than
about git — which is only possible if the refusal was stepped past instead of returned.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 287cec39d0 plugins: enable, disable, delete — and uninstall is gone
Three states all read as "stopped": disabled, uninstalled, and uninstalled-with-the-directory-still-
there. Nothing on screen distinguished them, and the one that mattered was invisible — an uninstalled
plugin kept its directory, which silently decided what the next install would run. That is how a
jellyfin install on alpha re-applied a checkout from two days earlier while reporting success at
every step.

So uninstall stops being a verb. What it did survives as the first half of deleting: it stops the
sidecar, removes the install row and the PM2 entry, unpublishes the copies, and revokes grants naming
permissions that are about to stop existing.

Delete is offered only on a plugin that is not running — disable is one reversible click, so a live
plugin is always two deliberate steps from gone. It opens a confirmation carrying a checkbox, "also
delete all its data", unticked and never inherited from last time. Unticked, the directory goes and
the rows stay, and they appear in the orphan list further down the same screen. Ticked, the tables go
with it, which is the only way to a machine that has never had the plugin.

The checkbox picks between two ROUTES, not a body flag on one: a flag can be added to a request by
anything that already knows how to call the safe verb, and the difference here is somebody's rows.

Grants are revoked either way, which is load-bearing until the permissions work tomorrow: a grant
naming a key the platform no longer recognises made the whole permissions screen unsaveable, because
the page submits every grant it loaded.

Also corrected two rationales that the change made false — the runbook's "uninstall never destroys
data" verification table, and npm-deps.ts explaining directory survival in terms of uninstall.

pastilhas a6e61d0c26 user provisioning: the platform pushes the account list to plugins that declare it
a plugin that creates accounts in an upstream service — jellyfin first, immich
next — needs to know who the platform's users are. it now gets told.

DECLARED IN THE MANIFEST, not asserted at registration. `name` and `handles`
arrive on an unauthenticated socket and are believed, so a capability claimed
there would be a plugin granting itself one. the manifest was reviewed when the
owner installed it, and sits beside `permissions` where "this plugin will be
told who your users are" belongs — on the install screen, not discovered later.

PUSHED, not requested. a sidecar has no authenticated way to ask, so a request
could only be answered, never authorised. a push inverts that: the platform
decides who gets it, and a caller registering under a name with no such
manifest gets nothing.

`listProvisionableUsers` is a hand-written projection — id, email, username,
name, role — and NOT `select *`. `users` holds `password` and `os_user`, and
`getUsers()` returns both, so a plugin reaching for the obvious function would
get every account's password hash. naming the columns means adding a secret to
the table cannot silently add it to what plugins receive. pinned by a test that
asserts the key set, not just the absence of today's secrets.

the owner is excluded. they bypass every permission check and already have
whatever upstream account they want; provisioning them is at best a no-op and
at worst a second admin nobody asked for.

sent after the ack rather than inside it, so registration never waits on a
database query — a slow postgres would otherwise stall every sidecar's startup,
and none of them need the list to start.

and re-sent on every account create and delete, because the registration copy
is a snapshot: a plugin still holding a deleted user would keep an upstream
login alive for someone the platform has removed. read once per broadcast, so
two plugins cannot be told different things about the same moment.

pastilhas c336042b12 remove a dangling export, and write down the lockfile question
`pluginPackageJsonExists` was exported for an uninstall hook that was never
wired. an export with no caller is an unfinished thought pretending to be a
feature, so it is gone — and the behaviour it would have served is right
anyway: uninstall KEEPS the plugin directory, so its packages are still
declared and still wanted. only "delete and all its data" removes the
directory, after which the next install regenerates the merged file without it.
the packages linger until then and go on their own.

and the thing the owner asked to come back to: CLAUDE.md's frozen-lockfile rule
reads as universal, and npmDependencies does not follow it. ranges resolving
per machine is what lets two plugins share one sharp, and it was chosen
knowingly — but the codebase now holds two postures on one risk with only one
of them written down. recorded in TODO.md with the three specific things worth
settling rather than left as a feeling that something is inconsistent.
2026-08-20 18:26:27 +00:00
pastilhas 21bedf1418 npmDependencies in the manifest, installed once for every plugin
replaces the per-plugin package.json from earlier tonight. the owner's call,
and the reason is one i had not weighed: sharp is ~50 MB of platform binaries
and the obvious dependency for anything touching images, so a second and third
plugin wanting it would have meant a second and third copy with no version they
could converge on.

so every plugin's `npmDependencies` merge into ONE generated plugins/package.json,
installed into plugins/node_modules/. bun resolves node_modules up the tree, so
that directory serves every plugin and none of the platform's own code.

ranges intersect rather than alternate. two plugins asking for ^0.33.5 and
^0.33.9 produce "^0.33.5 ^0.33.9", which npm and bun read as AND — the resolved
version must satisfy both. `||` would have meant "either", which is the silent
version of this failure: one plugin quietly getting a version the other cannot
import. incompatible requirements now fail the install with bun's own message,
and both askers are named in the steps either way.

generated from the plugins ON DISK, like generatePluginSchemas, and never
edited — so a package cannot appear there without a plugin having declared it.

what this gives up, knowingly: a committed lockfile. ranges are the whole point
and a range resolves per machine, so plugin packages are resolved at install
time like osDependencies are, and unlike the platform's own. CLAUDE.md is
emphatic about frozen lockfiles and 2026-08-04, so it is named in the manifest
type rather than left to be discovered.

the generated plugins/package.json and lockfile are gitignored — /plugins/*/
only ignores directories, so files at that level needed naming explicitly.

pastilhas 3450f5eb57 warn when a plugin's packages would block its own updates
update is a git pull and then the ordinary install path, so the npm step is
picked up for free — a plugin that adds a dependency in a later version gets it
installed on update, with no second implementation to drift.

but pullPlugin refuses on ANY uncommitted change, and node_modules/ that
nothing ignores is one. so a plugin shipping package.json without ignoring it
installs perfectly once and can then never be updated again: the button reports
"N uncommitted changes" forever, about a directory the platform itself created,
and nobody seeing that message has a reason to connect it to a package.json
from three versions ago.

every plugin that exists today ignores node_modules, which is luck rather than
a rule — this makes it a checked one.

asked with `git check-ignore` rather than by reading .gitignore: the rule may
be nested, global, or in .git/info/exclude, and all three count.

warned, not fixed. writing into the plugin's own .gitignore would be the
platform editing a repository it does not own, and would itself dirty the
checkout — which is the exact thing being avoided.

pastilhas 7e654d75bc plugins can declare their own npm packages
osDependencies covered binaries on PATH — ffmpeg, radicale, tea — and there
was nothing for a javascript package. so a plugin needing one had to add it to
the PLATFORM's package.json, which is what atelier did with sharp, carefully,
with the frozen-lockfile dance documented in BLOCKERS.md.

it still broke on the first machine that was not this one. alpha pulled the
package.json, nobody ran bun install, and officer-atelier crash-looped on
"Cannot find package 'sharp'" — after the install flow had reported success.

three things were wrong with that shape. the platform carried a dependency
only one plugin needs, and uninstalling the plugin would not have removed it.
installing a plugin could not install it, so "installed" and "can start" were
different facts with nothing checking the second. and it forced the platform's
lockfile open, which is precisely the signal frozenLockfile exists to keep rare.

now: a plugin ships its own package.json and lockfile, committed in its own
repository, and the install flow runs `bun install --frozen-lockfile` in the
plugin's directory. bun resolves node_modules up the tree, so
plugins/<name>/node_modules serves that plugin and nothing else, and uninstall
takes the packages with the directory.

the presence of the file is the declaration — no manifest field, same reason
sidecar/index.ts has none: a second place to say it is a second place to be wrong.

verified by RESOLVING, not by the exit code. sharp resolves to a
platform-specific binary package, so a lockfile that installs cleanly on one
machine can leave nothing importable on another — which is the exact failure
being fixed, and checking the exit code would have reproduced it one layer up.

sharp is off the platform's package.json. the lockfile diff is that removal
plus @img/sharp-libvips-* re-resolving 1.0.x → 1.2.4, because the platform no
longer pins sharp; nothing else moved, checked line by line. the platform still
reaches sharp transitively through next, which is where it came from.

pastilhas 329c47c499 atelier in the marketplace catalogue
the repo exists now — gitea.officer.dev/plugins/atelier, public, master, in the
plugins org like every other one — so the bundled catalogue can name it.

BUNDLED is the offline floor under marketplace.officer.dev, not a duplicate of
it: a machine that cannot reach the marketplace still sees the plugin. the sync
picks it up from gitea on its own, verified — 14 plugins, atelier among them.

`has` says all four, which is true of it: the proxy router, atelier_* tables in
officer_db, the generation sidecar, and three panels.

pastilhas 49f7761f53 skills: publish the index, leave the body on disk
the inverse of an affordance, and deliberately so:

  affordance   body always compiled in, description never sent
  skill        description always compiled in, body read on demand

an affordance is a fact about the surface — short, and every conversation
needs it. a skill is reference material that is dead weight in a conversation
about something else. so what reaches the prompt is the index: name, when to
reach for it, and the path. measured on the first one: 608 characters in the
prompt against 6,070 bytes left on disk.

no protocol. progressive disclosure is normally a harness feature — claude
code discovers .claude/skills, opencode has its own conventions, the next one
will have a third — and pointing at a file needs none of that, because every
harness worth running can already read a file. the cost is that the agent has
to CHOOSE to open it, which is what the description is for and why a vague one
makes a skill useless rather than merely verbose.

the first skill is the email database, moved out of tools/email-db/TOOL.md
where NOTHING has been reading it: the loader parses frontmatter and discards
the body, so that schema and its eight queries have never reached any claude
code session. written for pi, inert since pi left.

it carries two things the schema alone gets wrong, both measured against the
real 19,097-message database rather than copied from the old doc: `read` is
populated on 93 rows, so the documented unread query returns essentially the
whole mailbox; and `labels` is a comma-separated string with real values like
`updates,inbox`, so `labels = 'inbox'` misses most of the inbox.

plugins can ship skills, published and unpublished on install like affordances
and notification catalogues. flat namespace unlike those two — a skill's
directory name is the path an agent reads, and `officerdev/gitea/SKILL.md` in
a prompt is noise. a skill has no authority to usurp, so nothing needs
protecting.

wired to claude code. opencode still gets NOTHING — its runner sends no system
prompt at all, and session create takes only a directory. that needs its own
channel and a guess would be worse than the gap.
2026-08-20 01:09:07 +00:00
pastilhas 55d6eba511 notification catalogue: GET /api/notify/mapping
the piece that makes a new notification kind a server change rather than an
app store release. a push carries a code and integers; this is what the code
means, synced to the device instead of compiled into it.

deliberately the same shape as affordances rather than a second mechanism: a
`notifications/` directory of yaml in the plugin repository, copied to
capabilities/notifications/<publisher>/<appName>/ on install, removed on
uninstall. publish.ts mirrors affordances/publish.ts closely enough to diff.

the namespace is DERIVED from where the file lands, never from what it
declares — same rule as mountPrefix. a plugin writing `officer/core:test` as a
key gets `<publisher>/<plugin>:officer/core:test` and the real core entry is
untouched. that is the security property of the whole scheme and it is pinned
by test.

version is a content hash, not a counter. a counter needs somewhere to live
and is then wrong after a restore, a rollback, or two servers built from the
same install; a hash needs no storage and is right in all three. so the client
compares mv !== version, and both docs now say so — i had written "higher".

core entries ship in code rather than on disk, because capabilities/ is
installed rather than committed and `test` has to exist on a machine that has
installed nothing — it is what first light is proved with.

read from disk per request, not memoised: installing a plugin has to change
the answer without a restart, or it presents as "the new plugin's
notifications don't work", which is the hardest kind of bug to place.

verified live: 401 through the platform, plugin catalogue appearing and
disappearing with no restart, version returning to its prior value when the
plugin is removed. 10 catalogue tests, 100% coverage of catalogue.ts.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4b22f52c7e update a plugin whose local branch no longer exists on the remote
The Update button failed with "couldn't find remote ref main" on every checkout
made before the plugin repositories were standardised on `master`. It pulled
`origin <local branch name>`, and the local branch and the remote's default had
stopped agreeing — so the button could never work again on exactly the installs
that most needed it.

Now `git fetch origin HEAD` and a fast-forward: HEAD resolves to whatever the
remote's default is, so the local name stops mattering, and the merge applies it
to whichever branch the checkout happens to be on.

Fourth time today that naming a branch was the bug — the marketplace icon URLs,
the capabilities sync, the setup script, and now this. The rule that keeps
holding: fetch HEAD, never a name.

Verified by reproducing it — renamed a real checkout to `main`, pulled against a
remote that has only `master`, and it succeeded.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0fd89082fe an uninstalled plugin's grants stop breaking the permissions screen
Uninstalling music left its grants in role_permissions. The keys stop existing
when the plugin unmounts, so the settings page — which loads every grant and
submits them all back — failed with "Unknown permission 'music'" for a row
nobody could see, edit or remove through the UI. Nothing could be saved again
without editing the database.

Two changes, because either alone leaves half the problem.

Uninstall now revokes the plugin's grants, across every role rather than one. A
deliberate exception to "uninstall deletes nothing": a grant is the PLATFORM's
record of who may reach the plugin, not anything the plugin stored. Reinstalling
means granting again, which is the honest behaviour — the alternative is access
silently returning.

And the write DROPS an unknown key instead of refusing the request, so every
server already in this state is unblocked without touching its database. That is
what the resolver already does on read, so the write now agrees with it. The
cost is that a typo in a hand-made API call is ignored rather than reported —
worth less than a settings page that cannot be used. The response returns what
was dropped, so it is not silent.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 1e03c600b8 stop naming a branch when pulling the capabilities repository
The plugin and capabilities repositories were standardised on `master`, and
five places said `origin main` — the setup script's sync and the Update-all
path. Swapping them to `master` would be the same mistake wearing a new name.

`HEAD` resolves to whatever the remote's default is, so the question stops
being asked, exactly as it now does for the marketplace icon URLs. Only the
LOCAL branch still needs a name.

Third time today that naming a branch was the bug: the icon URLs 404'd on four
repositories created as `master`, and these would have broken the moment the
rest were renamed to match.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 5b486ed019 build marketplace icon URLs from HEAD, not from a branch name
Every available plugin drew a broken image on any server reading the remote
catalogue. The URLs said /raw/branch/main/, and four plugin repositories were
created on `master` — so those 404'd, and the others only worked by accident of
which branch somebody happened to use.

The comment above the builder already said "a repo whose default branch is
`master` gets a 404", marked [open]. It then happened. A warning in a comment
is not a guard.

Gitea resolves /raw/HEAD/ to whatever the default branch is, so the question
stops being asked. Verified against both spellings, and all 12 icons in the
live catalogue now answer 200.

It did not show on alpha because every plugin there is INSTALLED, and an
installed plugin's tile is served locally from /plugins/<name>/ rather than
from the catalogue.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 09f2cfa267 a plugin can depend on a release binary, and prove it is the right one
osDependencies could only say "this package, from this manager". Gitea's `tea`
is not in any distribution — it is a Go binary from dl.gitea.com — and Debian
has an UNRELATED package of that name: a graphical text editor. So the one
dependency gitea actually wants could not be expressed, and its marketplace
page showed no dependencies at all while music's showed two.

`release: { url, identify }` covers it. {os} and {arch} are filled from the
host in the spelling Go releases use, and the binary is fetched to
~/.local/bin — no root, and nothing a plugin downloaded from the internet
sitting beside what the distribution installed. Written to a temporary name and
moved into place, so a half-downloaded file is never on PATH under the real
one.

`identify` is the part that matters. Bun.which('tea') cannot tell Gitea's CLI
from the text editor, so presence was never the same question as identity —
and reporting the wrong program as satisfied is worse than reporting it
missing, because the install succeeds and every call afterwards fails
strangely. A binary that fails to identify is now `present: false, imposter:
true`.

Found while testing: Bun.which() with no options reads the PATH the PROCESS
started with, which under PM2 frequently excludes ~/.local/bin entirely. A
release binary fetched during an install would have been reported missing
seconds later by stillMissing, failing an install that had just succeeded. The
search now passes PATH explicitly, with ~/.local/bin first.

Verified against the real binaries on this machine: the genuine tea identifies,
a fake that prints text-editor output is caught as an imposter, and both
dl.gitea.com URLs (linux-amd64, darwin-arm64) answer 200.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8fe1b1824b a plugin can ship affordances, and installing publishes them
A plugin is a new SURFACE arriving at runtime, which is exactly the case
hand-written prose could never cover: install gitea and no agent learns that
`tea` is authenticated, or that plain `git` is the better tool for what git
already does. The plugin knows; nothing carried it across.

An `affordances/` directory in the plugin repository is copied to
capabilities/affordances/<publisher>/<plugin>/ on install and removed on
uninstall — the same shape as assets/ and publishAssets, deliberately, because
two mechanisms for "the plugin ships some files" would drift and that one is
already understood.

Namespaced by publisher because two plugins named `gitea` from different
publishers must not overwrite each other, and because an affordance in the tree
should say whose it is without being opened. It mirrors mountPrefix.

Uninstall removes the PLUGIN's directory, never the publisher's: every
first-party plugin publishes under one officerdev/, and taking that level out
because one was uninstalled would strip the rest silently. That is what the
tests are mostly about — a copy going wrong is obvious, this would not be.

Publishing is not fatal to an install. An affordance that failed to copy costs
an agent some knowledge; refusing the install over it costs the owner the
plugin.

Verified against the real gitea plugin: published, the loader saw
officerdev/gitea/gitea beside officer/core/image-rendering, uninstall removed
it and left core alone.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d49776307d gitea, extracted into plugins/gitea — the platform half
Eleventh extraction, and the only one that deleted its UI instead of moving it.
Seventeen files under apps/Gitea/ reimplemented a fraction of an interface
Gitea already has; the plugin renders the real one in an iframe over a
same-origin proxy.

Deleting rather than moving removed a platform change nobody now has to build:
useGiteaLocation read :owner/:name/:tab/:item from five route patterns where a
plugin gets two, so an as-is extraction would have required teaching the plugin
system to declare extra route patterns. Nothing inside an iframe needs a route.

Nothing working was lost. The router had been commented out of hono.ts since
2026-08-13 with api: [], and officer-gitea was running nowhere — the screen
rendered and every request 404'd, like soulseek, jellyfin and invoices before
it.

Gitea also stops being a CORE DOCK ITEM. It was hardcoded in CORE_DOCK_ITEMS,
the only installable feature that was, on the reasoning that it fronts a remote
instance and installs nothing locally. As a plugin its tile arrives from
assets/icon.png like every other — which is also why the icon added to
public/icons/ this morning was reverted rather than kept.

'gitea' stays in the ServiceName union: the connection lives in core
service_connections, and gitea is the reason that table has its "member rows
carry only a token and inherit the owner's URL" shape at all.

registry.test.ts's grantable-permission test named gitea as "the case this was
built for"; a plugin's permissions are registered at install and are never in
that compile-time list, so it now names a core one. catalogue.test.ts
re-anchored to vnc/notify.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4b2c896523 ship the capabilities repository, and update it from the same button as plugins
capabilities/ is the file-based item store, and most of it belongs to the
owner: the six item directories are created by the platform at boot and
extensions/tool-loader is written from platform source, so neither is tracked
anywhere. What IS tracked is the small set the platform ships — today one
affordance, telling an agent that markdown images render and that the USER'S
DEVICE fetches the URL, which it cannot discover from the filesystem.

That now lives in officerdev/capabilities, public so a fresh install can clone
it without credentials.

Two ways in. The setup script syncs it during the layout step — non-fatal, and
it says what an install without it costs rather than failing: agents go back to
guessing, which is what they did before this existed. And "Update all" on the
marketplace screen carries it alongside the plugins, because it is the same
question — get me what has been published since I installed — and a second
different gesture for it is one nobody remembers.

Three states in both places, and the third is the normal one on an existing
machine: a checkout is pulled, an empty directory is cloned into, and a
directory that already holds the platform's generated items gets a repository
initialised around them. UNTRACKED files never block a pull, because the
owner's own skills and tools living here is the ordinary state — only tracked
changes do.

`cloned` and `adopted` are reported in the UI where `pulled` is not: they mean
this machine had no affordances at all until the button was pressed.

Verified against the real checkout: sync reports pulled, and the loader finds
officer/core/image-rendering afterwards.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 3ef078210a update a plugin, or all of them, from the marketplace
There was no update path. fetchPlugin REFUSES an existing directory — cloning
over one is how uncommitted work disappears — so install was a one-way door,
and the answer to "my plugin changed" was uninstall and reinstall, which drops
its tables on the way past.

An update is a git pull and then the ORDINARY install path. installPlugin
already skips the clone when the directory is present and re-runs everything
else: os dependencies, schema push, assets, the ecosystem entry, the sidecar,
the remount and the frontend rebuild. So there is no second implementation of
"apply a plugin" here to drift from the first.

Two refusals, both about not destroying work. A dirty working tree is refused
rather than stashed or force-pulled — every plugin directory on a developer's
machine is a live checkout, and this repository's own are edited in place.
Non-fast-forward is refused for the same reason: a diverged local commit is
somebody's work and merging it automatically is not the platform's decision.

The per-plugin button replaces one that was quietly broken: it appeared only
when `outdated` and called `install`, which cannot fetch, so it re-applied
stale code. Nothing bumps a version today either, so with everything pinned at
1.0.0 that flag never fires and the button never appeared. Now always offered,
and it pulls.

Update-all is a plain POST rather than the streaming door: twelve interleaved
step streams is not a readable log, and the useful answer is the summary. It
runs sequentially — each update pushes schema, republishes assets, rewrites the
ecosystem file and rebuilds the frontend, and two of those at once is a race
over one file each. One failure does not stop the rest, and failures are named
with their reason, because "2 failed" sends someone to the terminal.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 cfbec0b757 plugins: a splash is part of a plugin, like its icon
assets/splash.png is discovered by presence, published by the same copy that
already took the whole assets directory, and carried on DiscoveredPlugin beside
icon.

The platform draws no splash — a plugin has no launch. It is carried because the
plugin repository is where a product's artwork lives now, and the phone app that
fronts the same product needs somewhere to read it from that is not a designer's
folder. The pair is the point: the icon is a reduction of the splash's world,
and keeping them together is what stops them drifting.

Publishing no longer gates on the icon alone, which left a plugin shipping only
a splash serving nothing.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 bbb16d6ed3 bitcoin-wallet, extracted into plugins/bitcoin-wallet — the platform half
Tenth extraction, and the first where the blocker was a permission rather than
a path. The wallet was kind: 'admin' — owner only, never grantable — and plugin
permissions are always kind: 'app'. mount.ts forces that and the manifest has
no field for anything else, deliberately, so a plugin cannot ask to be
restricted. Extraction therefore could not preserve admin.

Raised before moving any code, because turning "the server owner's bitcoin"
into a row in the grants list beside Photos and Music is the kind of change
nobody notices until someone ticks it.

Made anyway, and the objection inverts: every wallet query is scoped by
user_id, taken from X-Officer-User which the platform injects from the session,
so granting the permission gives an account its OWN wallet rather than access
to anyone else's — including to the owner, whose bypass covers permission
checks and not query scoping. kind: 'admin' was single-user thinking.

Named bitcoin-wallet, not wallet: appName drives route, API prefix, table
prefix and install key together, so the name should say what it is. Tables are
bitcoin_wallet_*; the prefix guard normalises the hyphen. Verified free before
committing to it — no wallet table exists on any server, and db:push would
treat a rename as a drop plus a create.

registry.test.ts re-anchored: `wallet` was its canonical kind: 'admin' fixture
and its no-selfService fixture. Now user-admin/server-admin and terminal, with
a note that a plugin's permissions are always `app` — which is exactly why this
one needed a decision rather than a default.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d6f093532d install radicale and register officer-caldav on an existing server's next boot
Calendar and contacts became core in 9c309c5a. A FRESH install gets radicale
from machine-setup and officer-caldav from CORE_PROCESSES; an existing one gets
neither from a git pull, because a pull changes nothing outside the repository.
So without this, pulling that commit leaves /calendar mounted, rendering, and
talking to nothing — the silent half-working failure this codebase keeps
getting bitten by, and the same shape as the plugin permission collision fixed
in ee321f49.

Best-effort and AFTER serve(), never blocking: a held apt lock, an unreachable
mirror or a machine without passwordless sudo must not stop Officer starting.
Uses the existing os-deps machinery rather than a second spelling of "install a
package" — including `sudo -n`, which fails fast instead of hanging on a prompt
no one can answer under PM2. When it cannot install, it logs the exact command
to run by hand.

addCoreProcess is new and deliberately narrow. The platform normally never
writes a core entry — it does not know the core list, and duplicating
CORE_PROCESSES here would be a second copy to drift. The exception is exactly
this: a commit that MOVES something into the core set, which an existing
install has no other way to learn about.

Verified on this machine rather than assumed: radicale was absent, the guard
installed it (3.1.8), and a second run reported `present` and wrote nothing.
The install path is not unit-tested on purpose — a test that really ran
apt-get would modify the machine running it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f566fda0b2 invoices, extracted into plugins/invoices — the platform half
Ninth extraction, third resurrection. Switched off since 2026-08-13 with the
permission reduced to api: [], so assertPermissionTotality was satisfied, the
server booted clean, and every panel request 404'd. Closes the same data hazard
as jellyfin and soulseek: invoiceshelf/schema was commented out of the drizzle
barrel.

Named `invoices`, not `invoiceshelf`. The appName is THE id — API prefix,
frontend route, table prefix, sidecar suffix, install key — and before
extraction the API (/api/invoiceshelf) and the screen (/invoices) had drifted
apart, which was harmless only while they were separate hardcoded strings. The
route is the part a person sees, and the permission key and label were already
`invoices`, so the API prefix was the odd one out. Cost three call sites and a
table rename to invoices_accounts, which was free only because the table
existed on no server — verified before deciding, not after.

members.test.ts re-anchored again, this time to caldav and memos: services with
no extraction planned. That assertion has now been re-pointed four times by
services leaving for plugins/, which is the whole reason installer.test.ts was
made literal earlier tonight.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 ee321f49fd refuse a plugin install whose permission key the platform still claims
Three times in one day — photos, soulseek, jellyfin — the same failure on the
same machine: install reports success, the dock tile appears, the frontend
rebuilds with the route in it, and every request 404s. The plugin never mounted,
because setPluginPermissions refused its key as already core.

That refusal was correct and useless. It happens at mount time, after the
install has reported success, and its only trace is one line on stderr that
nobody is reading. The cause is always the same: the key was a CORE permission
until the extraction commit, so a server whose platform predates that commit
still owns it. The fix is always git pull, and nothing in the product said so.

installPlugin now checks the manifest's keys against the core registry before
anything is written, and refuses with a message naming the colliding keys and
telling the operator to pull the platform and restart. Placed with the other
pre-flight checks, so it changes nothing that would need undoing.

corePermissionCollisions is exported from the registry rather than reimplemented
in install.ts — the core key set has one owner.

Eighth extraction, second resurrection. Same shape as soulseek: hono.ts had the
router import and its PROTECTED_MOUNTS entry commented out since 2026-08-13 and
the permission reduced to api: [], so assertPermissionTotality was satisfied,
the server booted clean, and every panel request 404'd. Also closes the same
data hazard — jellyfin_servers was absent from the drizzle barrel, so bun
db:push would have dropped it.

No frontend call site needed repointing: mountPrefix derives /jellyfin from the
appName, which is what the router already hardcoded.

Test fixtures fixed properly rather than re-anchored again. Extracting jellyfin
broke 18 tests, the FOURTH extraction in a row to break the same files — photos
and transmission yesterday, slskd an hour ago, jellyfin now. installer.test.ts
now builds literal CatalogueEntry fixtures and asks the catalogue nothing: it
pins planSteps and runInstall, which are installer logic, and a service leaving
for plugins/ says nothing about whether the installer still plans the right
steps. catalogue.test.ts stays the place real entries are checked well-formed.
members/catalogue/preflight re-anchored to memos, which has jellyfin's exact
shape.

The .prettierignore rule for the vendored hls.mjs moved into the plugin rather

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b196c9cb55 soulseek, extracted into plugins/soulseek — the platform half
Seventh extraction, and the first of something that was already dead. Soulseek
had been switched off since 2026-08-13: hono.ts carried the router import and
its PROTECTED_MOUNTS entry commented out, so createSidecarProxy never ran and
registerProxiedPrefix was never called; officer-slskd was not in the ecosystem
at all. Because the permission entry had been reduced to api: [], the totality
check was satisfied and the server booted clean — the UI rendered and every
request 404'd. Worth naming: the boot check proves every MOUNTED prefix has a
permission, and is silent about a feature that mounts nothing.

Also closes a live data hazard: schema.ts had the soulseek export commented
out, so the three tables were absent from the drizzle barrel and bun db:push
would have dropped soulseek_favorites, soulseek_browse_snapshots and
soulseek_browse_dirs on any server holding them. rebuild-soulseek-tree.ts
documented the workaround rather than the problem; deleted with the rest.

The connection stays in core service_connections under service 'slskd' while
the mount is now /api/soulseek. Those differ on purpose.

Test fixtures: slskd was canonical in three app-store tests, the third
extraction running to break them. installer.test.ts now builds a literal
fixture instead of reaching into the catalogue — it pins planSteps, which is
installer logic, and no catalogue entry is both provisioned and members:'none'
any more. catalogue.test.ts and members.test.ts re-anchored to vnc/notify/gitea.

Unrelated but mine: check:theme caught 5 palette classes I introduced in
CommandHQ earlier tonight against a baseline of 0. Converted to bg-success /
bg-warning. check:theme is not part of bun test, which is why the green suite
never showed it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f8028364f1 transmission, extracted into plugins/transmission — the platform half
Sixth extraction, straight after photos. Everything transmission now lives at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/transmission.

Deleted, not commented: the sidecar, the api router, the Transmission app (28
files including detail/ and dialogs/), the screen, the App.tsx route pair, the
Dashboard barrel line, the usePageTitle rule, the AppRegistry wiring, the
officerdev barrel re-exports, the permission registry entry, the hono.ts import
and mount comments, and the app-store catalogue entry.

No database change: transmission owns no tables. Its connection lives in
service_connections, a core table it now depends on from outside — a real
coupling, recorded in the plugin's own PLUGIN.md rather than left to be
discovered.

── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──

Transmission was the canonical `members: 'none'` fixture — a single-tenant
daemon with no user concept — across three app-store test files. slskd has the
identical shape, so the assertions moved there. Deleting them would have
quietly dropped coverage of the no-members install path along with the plugin,
which is the same trap the vault extraction hit with `members: 'invite'`.

── Vocabulary swept, per the runbook ──

Six screens and two App.tsx comments pointed at `/photos` or `/transmission` as
the worked example of the Workspace/Panel shape. Both are plugins now, so those
pointers dangled at code no longer in the tree. Repointed at /command-hq and
/soulseek, which are core.

bunx tsgo clean. 1080 pass / 0 fail.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a327dfc82c photos, extracted into plugins/photos — the platform half
Fifth extraction, and the clean case: no reverse dependency, configuration
already server-side, frontend already panels. Everything photos now lives at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/photos.

Deleted, not commented: the sidecar, the api router, the db directory, the
Photos app (25 files), the screen, the App.tsx route pair, the Dashboard
barrel line, the usePageTitle rule, the AppRegistry wiring, the officerdev
barrel re-exports, the permission registry entry, both database barrels, the
hono.ts import comment, and the app-store catalogue entry.

The catalogue deletion is required rather than tidying — the trap the runbook
records as having bitten twice. permissionAvailability() derives from
sidecar_installs, which a plugin never gets a row in, so a leftover entry makes
the permission permanently 'unavailable' and withholds the route and dock tile
on a server where the plugin is installed and working.

── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──

Photos was the canonical app-store fixture across four test files, chosen for
being existing|provisioned with members: 'accounts'. Jellyfin has the identical
shape, so the assertions moved there — they are about the installer, not about
photos, and deleting them would have quietly dropped coverage of the provisioned
install path along with the plugin.

One loss worth naming: Immich's `provisioned` install mode went with the
catalogue entry. Docker provisioning for plugins does not exist yet, so photos
is point-at-your-own-instance until it does.

bunx tsgo clean. 1080 pass / 0 fail, unchanged.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8367fada13 plugins: let a plugin claim top-level paths and divert /api by header
Restores the setup the vault extraction regressed: paste the bare Officer URL
into a Bitwarden client and log in. Nothing else.

The extraction moved the Bitwarden door to /api/vault/bw, which is correct and
unusable — a client derives /api, /identity, /icons and /notifications from ONE
url it is given, so a prefixed base turns setup into five fields copied by hand
into an advanced pane. That is not a feature anyone completes, and the owner
said so. My regression, my wrong call: I treated "a plugin cannot serve
top-level paths" as a fact about the platform when it was a fact about what had
been built.

Two additions, both manifest-declared, both narrow:

  unauthenticatedRootPaths  single lowercase segments (`/identity`), served
                            above the gate. Refused if reserved (`/api`,
                            `/auth`, `/plugins`, `/dav`, …), refused if another
                            plugin already claims it, refused if it is anything
                            more structural than one name.

  protocolHeaders           hands `/api/*` to the plugin when the request
                            carries one. Needed because /api is the one
                            namespace both servers claim — Vaultwarden has
                            /api/sync, Officer has /api/chat — and the path
                            cannot tell them apart, so the client says who it
                            is. ROUTING, not authentication: a forged header
                            reaches the plugin, which demands its own
                            credential, and cannot reach anything of Officer's.
                            The worst it does is cost that caller Officer's API.

The Bun route table gets an entry per claimed segment, built from the plugin
set — `refreshPluginMounts` runs at line ~204, long before serve() at ~378, so
the claims are known. This is the constraint I earlier asserted made the whole
thing impossible, without checking it. The real cost is smaller and stated in
the code: a plugin claiming a root path is not fully installed until
`pm2 restart officer`, because the table is fixed once serve() is called.

Every claim is logged at boot by plugin — a root path answering without a
session should not be something you read a manifest to discover.

13 more tests (30 in the file): reserved segments, malformed segments, two
plugins colliding, and segment-not-substring matching so `/identityx` never
matches `/identity`. Suite 1074 pass / 0 fail.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 dc190bb790 plugins: implement unauthenticatedPaths — the half that was never built
`unauthenticatedPaths` has been in PluginManifest since it was designed, with
validation (`publicPathProblem`), a long docstring, and a promise that
`assertPluginPublicPaths` re-checks it at boot. Nothing read the field. No
function by that name existed. Kiosk, the plugin it was written for, declares
none — so it validated, documented itself, and did nothing, and no plugin has
ever actually been served above the gate.

Vault is the first real user: a stock Bitwarden client speaks Vaultwarden's
protocol and has nowhere to put a platform JWT, so it cannot use the
authenticated /api/vault router at all.

── What was missing, and where it had to go ──

Two places, not one, and the second is the one that matters:

  • the permission gate skips declared paths — but that gate only runs when a
    token WAS presented (`payload && !isOwner && …`), so it is what stops a
    valid non-owner reaching something ungranted.
  • `protectedRouter.use(userMiddleware)` is what stops an ANONYMOUS request.
    A path meant to answer without a session has to skip that too, so it is now
    conditional on the same predicate. Fixing only the gate would have left
    every declared path returning 401 — passing its own tests and failing in
    the one case it exists for.

── Containment ──

Paths resolve against the plugin's own mount (`/api` + mountPrefix + path) and
containment is re-checked there, so a plugin cannot name `/auth` or another
plugin's routes however it edits its manifest. Refusal is per-path: one bad
entry does not take the good ones with it, and each is logged by name.

Matching is on segments rather than characters — `/api/vault/bwx` must not
match `/api/vault/bw/*`, the same class of bug `permissionForApiPath` guards
against with `/user` vs `/username`.

Every plugin with public paths is logged at boot: a route that answers without
a session should not be something you have to read a manifest to discover.

17 tests, pinning the containment rules rather than the happy path. Suite
1061 pass / 0 fail.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f6a1194905 vault, extracted into plugins/vault — the platform half
Fourth extraction, after offscale, music and email. Everything vault is now at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/vault and installs from the marketplace; this commit
is what the platform stopped knowing.

Deleted, not commented: both routers, the sidecar, the db directory, the
hono.ts mounts/imports, server.tsx's ws import + handler entry + four
route-table entries, '/vault' from UNPROTECTED_API_PREFIXES, both entries in
totality.ts's exemption lists, both database barrels, and the app-store
catalogue entry.

The catalogue deletion is required rather than tidying — the trap the runbook
records as having bitten twice. permissionAvailability() derives from
sidecar_installs, which a plugin never gets a row in, so a leftover entry makes
the permission permanently 'unavailable' and withholds the route and dock tile
on a server where the plugin is installed and working.

── The one new piece of platform: src/servers/account-lifecycle.ts ──

Three auth handlers (signout, distress, panic) imported clearVaultTokens and
clearVaultUnlockKey directly. That is the security property behind the distress
and panic buttons — "someone got in, make the vault need a master password
again" — so it could not just be dropped, and a plugin cannot be imported by
core.

Rejected: having core DELETE from the plugin's tables by name. It removes the
import but moves the coupling somewhere worse — core would depend on a plugin's
SCHEMA, so renaming a column would silently stop the wipe. A security property
that fails silently on an unrelated change is the failure mode to design
against. (docs/email-plugin-extraction.md took that shape for READING a
plugin's data, where a stale answer is a missing feature rather than a lock
left open. The stakes decide it, not the pattern.)

Taken instead: core announces 'signout' | 'distress' | 'panic' with a user id,
and anything holding per-account state subscribes. ~30 lines, fire-and-forget,
one listener's failure cannot stop another. Core names no plugin, no table and
no column; a listener that is not there is a plugin that is not installed. The
severity mapping moved into the plugin — signout keeps the protector key,
distress and panic drop it — so the behaviour is unchanged.

── Two things deleted rather than carried, both dark since 2026-08-13 ──

The unauthenticated Bitwarden passthrough (/vaultwarden plus four root
prefixes and an /api/* header diverter). A plugin's routes mount into
protectedRouter at /api/<name>, behind the account gate; top-level
unauthenticated prefixes are not something a manifest can declare, and the Bun
route table they need entries in is built once at serve(). Keeping it meant
core naming /vaultwarden and /identity in its own route table — the vocabulary
leak the runbook forbids, for a path its own comments called TEMPORARY pending
a first-party browser extension. Owner's call: nice to have, not a requirement.

The notifications websocket, for the same reason plus a second: no plugin owns
a socket on this platform yet (server.reload({routes}) proven, never called;
handlers in server.tsx is a static map). Music parked cliamp/ for exactly this.
SignalR degrades to HTTP long-polling by itself, so clients still sync.

── Tests ──

Vault was the ONLY members: 'invite' catalogue entry, so deleting it would have
silently dropped coverage of that branch in plannedOutcome. It is now tested
against a synthetic entry instead: deleting an assertion along with the last
real user of a case is how a switch arm stops being covered without anyone
deciding it should.

bunx tsgo clean (verified it really does cover plugins/ by injecting a
deliberate error and watching it fail). Suite back at its 7 pre-existing
baseline failures — none of them this feature's, all confirmed unrelated
(the totality ones are about 'desktop'). 85 test files, unchanged, per the
runbook's trap about a moved test vanishing silently.

Needs `bun db:push` and a restart before installing, then point it at a
Vaultwarden from /vault — VAULTWARDEN_URL in .env is no longer read.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 3803d42243 plugins: don't require a literal .git suffix on a catalogue clone URL
Found chasing a real install failure: music's marketplace row was hand-
entered as https://gitea.officer.dev/plugins/music with no .git suffix, and
fetchPlugin's URL check refused it outright with a message ("https URLs
only, no credentials") that named neither actual reason.

The suffix was never a security property — https-only, safe character set,
no embedded credentials are the real checks, and Gitea/GitHub both clone
identically with or without .git. Made the suffix optional rather than
required, so a future hand-entered row missing it doesn't hit the same wall.

Also fixed the row itself in officer_marketplace (added .git, matching every
other plugin's entry) for consistency, and confirmed the gitea repo itself
was never the problem — plugins/music already exists there with both
commits, unaffected by this bug.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7b7d8bbf36 add gen:ecosystem script to rebuild ecosystem.config.cjs from the database
bun gen:ecosystem writes the whole file from three sources: CORE_PROCESSES read
directly out of scripts/setup/officer-setup/lib/services.sh (shelled out to bash,
so there is exactly one list rather than a TS copy to keep in sync by hand),
marketplace plugins that are installed AND enabled in Postgres and actually ship a
sidecar/, and app-store services that are installed AND enabled, using each
catalogue entry's `process` name against the src/servers/sidecar/<id>/index.ts
convention.

Extracted `pluginPm2Entry` (a pure DiscoveredPlugin -> Pm2App) out of
addPluginToEcosystem so the live install/uninstall path and this from-scratch
rebuild share one definition of what a plugin's entry looks like, rather than two
that can drift apart. addPluginToEcosystem's own behavior is unchanged.

Complements, not replaces, the existing incremental add/remove in
servers/plugins/ecosystem.ts — that edits the live file at install time; this
regenerates the whole thing, for a fresh clone, drift, or restoring from a backup.

Found while testing against this machine's real file, worth flagging rather than
silently working around: officer-marketplace (the marketplace.officer.dev process,
src/servers/marketplace/server.tsx) is in this machine's ecosystem.config.cjs by
hand and is modeled by neither the plugin system nor the app-store catalogue, so
this script does not know about it and would drop its entry on a real run. Left
alone rather than guessed at.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2f31d464be plugins: declare unauthenticated paths, validated; mounting designed and measured
half of the primitive kiosk needs. the manifest field and its validator are in;
the mounting is documented and not wired, so nothing serves anything publicly
today.

paths are relative to the plugin's own mount and refused rather than corrected:
no leading-slash-missing, no .., no //, no query or fragment, wildcard only as a
trailing /*, and never the bare / or /*. the plugin is trusted with what those
paths DO, never with which paths.

the mounting was measured rather than reasoned about, and two obvious designs
are wrong:

mounting the public router at the plugin prefix gives correct fall-through but
lets the router serve any route it defines - the manifest becomes documentation
rather than enforcement.

adding a use('*') guard blocks that leak and BREAKS the plugin's authenticated
api: a use('*') middleware always matches, so the parent never continues.
measured - an authenticated route 404'd with a valid token.

what works is registering only the declared patterns, delegating into a
pre-mounted app. undeclared paths never register a handler, so they fall through
naturally. enforcement by registration rather than by checking, which is why a
plugin cannot widen it.

docs/plugin-unauthenticated-paths.md has the probe results and the six
remaining steps.

pastilhas ed3806f998 installing a plugin resets its saved layout
a layout stores appType STRINGS. rename a panel key between versions and every saved layout still names
the old one; normalizeLayout swaps each unknown appType for allowed[0] — whichever panel the plugin lists
first — and WorkspaceView persists the repair.

so renaming headscale-* to offscale-* rewrote the owner's layout into three copies of the server picker
and saved it. ServersView never mounted, there was no register form on the page at all, and it survived a
server restart, a sidecar restart and a plugin reinstall because nothing on disk was wrong. found by
counting elements in a real browser: 3 links, 0 buttons.

install is the only place that knows a plugin's panels may have just changed shape, so that is where the
stale row dies — for every user, since the damage is not per-user and install is owner-only. nothing is
lost: a plugin screen is locked, so the layout is the author's design rather than someone's arrangement,
and useDashboardState re-seeds from defaultLayout on the next load.

does NOT fix the underlying trap: renaming a panel key is still a silent data migration for any screen
that is not a plugin. see TODO.
