pastilhas 4c24df93c1 a chat can change model mid-conversation
the selector locked on `hasStarted`, so the tier was fixed for the life of a conversation. nothing
justified it — the commit that added the flag says only "default model" — and the hazard it resembles is
narrower than what it blocked: crossing HARNESS hands an opencode `ses_…` id to `claude --resume`, which
reads as a dead agent rather than a wrong dispatch. changing TIER was always safe.

so tier is free, harness is pinned, and the server refuses a crossing rather than relying on the UI to.

the claude side does it the way the CLI's /model does: `Query.setModel()`, a control request that needs
streaming input mode, which is the only mode this file uses. nothing is torn down and nothing is
re-resumed — cwd, permission mode and transcript all continue and only the next response changes. an
earlier plan here was to kill the session and re-create it with the stored resume id; that would have
worked and was unnecessary.

opencode already switched per turn (serve-runner POSTs the model to the live session), so only the UI was
in its way.

FIXES A SILENT MISMATCH while it is here. model reached the SDK once, in createSession's query() options,
and every later turn was pushed onto that same call — so a changed model was dropped while session:init,
the cost fold and the durable log all reported the new tier. reachable today by leaving a chat idle past
the 30-minute GC: the UI said sonnet, opus answered, nothing logged it. the fold now tracks what the
harness actually did rather than what the client asked for, and a refused switch reverts the picker.

the switch is a durable `model:switched` event and a centred marker in the transcript, because the useful
question is the BOUNDARY — which half of this conversation is opus. per-message model was already stamped
server-side and shown nowhere, and claude-sessions.ts reads the FIRST model in a transcript, so a switch
was invisible in history.

tests: turn-stream proves the marker is durable and lands after the previous model's last words; the
selector tests pull in opposite directions, so unlocking everything fails one and restoring the blanket
lock fails the other. verified by re-breaking both.

not done: opencode's `steer` path (a send mid-turn) returns before the model POST, so a switch there
applies on the next full turn. session.model also stays stale for opencode tier changes — harness routing
is unaffected.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0d29e242a3 themes are installable, like plugins
`platform/themes/<id>/` — untracked, same rule as `plugins/`, only the instructions
tracked. Drop a directory in and the theme appears in the picker on the next page load.

  themes/my-theme/theme.css     required — `[data-theme='my-theme'] { … }`
  themes/my-theme/theme.json    required — { name, family, dark }
  themes/my-theme/assets/       optional — wallpaper, logo

── Why this is cheaper than installing a plugin ──

A plugin is code: it needs a manifest module, mounting, and a frontend rebuild to reach
the bundler. A theme is a block of CSS custom properties, so it needs none of that. The
server reads the directory at request time and the client adds a `<link>`. No install
step, no rebuild, no restart — which is the whole reason this is eighty lines of
discovery rather than four hundred.

The id is the DIRECTORY NAME, not a manifest field, for the same reason a plugin's
`appName` is not one: an id that can disagree with where its files sit eventually will.
Discovery checks that the CSS actually targets its own directory name, because the
failure is otherwise silent — the theme appears, is selected, and nothing changes.

── Problems are reported, not swallowed ──

A malformed theme returns a reason rather than vanishing:

  broken-probe: theme.css does not target [data-theme='broken-probe']

The client logs those, so an author has somewhere to look instead of wondering why
their theme never appeared.

── Boundaries kept ──

The `theme` package still performs no IO. It gained an `extraThemes` prop; Officer
fetches and injects, exactly as it supplies the panel registry to `workspaces`. A
failure to fetch is not an error — no server, no session, no directory all mean "you get
the built-in themes", which is a complete product.

`/api/themes` is a `core` capability: read-only, and not deniable, because an account
that cannot read the theme list renders unstyled. Installing remains a directory on
disk; an upload endpoint would be a way to write arbitrary CSS into the page from a
request.

Verified in-process: listing, the problem report, CSS served as text/css, and a
traversal attempt answered 404.

── Needs a restart ──

Server-side change. Until then the client's fetch 404s and silently keeps the built-ins,
so nothing breaks in the meantime.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 54f63b70df arrows are the only global binding
`ctrl+shift+h`/`l` are gone. The arrows do that job, and two spellings for one action is
what invited the reasonable guess that `ctrl+shift+j` moved down — which opens the
browser console.

Worth recording that the reported conflict was not one we had: nothing bound
`ctrl+shift+j`. The global letters were `h` and `l` only, and the `j`/`k` keys live
inside the list with NO modifier. But an interface that makes someone guess a wrong key
is the interface's fault, not the guess's.

Inside the list the vim keys stay, unmodified: `j`/`k`/`l`/`h` beside `↓`/`↑`/`→`/`←`.
Nothing there can collide with a browser shortcut, and this is a vim person's
application.

Verified: `ctrl+shift+l` no longer cycles, `ctrl+shift+→` does, and `j` then `l` still
browses inside the list.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f492905023 one modifier, and arrows beside the vim keys
Standardised on `ctrl+shift` for all three global bindings, and added arrows everywhere
the vim keys work — `h`/`←`, `l`/`→`, `j`/`↓`, `k`/`↑` are now interchangeable.

  ctrl+shift+→  or  ctrl+shift+l      next theme
  ctrl+shift+←  or  ctrl+shift+h      previous theme
  ctrl+shift+space                    the list

── Why ctrl+shift and not the alternatives ──

Checked GNOME's actual defaults rather than reasoning from convention:

  <Control><Alt>Left/Right         switch workspace
  <Control><Shift><Alt>Left/Right  move window to workspace
  <Super><Alt>Left/Right           switch workspace

So ctrl+alt is unusable — those arrows change your workspace, and `ctrl+alt+l` locks the
screen, which is presumably why the original bindings put the letters on ctrl+shift in
the first place. `shift+alt` is free on Linux but is the keyboard-layout switcher on
Windows and `alt+space` opens the window menu.

`ctrl+shift` has no OS binding at all. Its one collision is select-by-word inside a text
field — which is now explicitly protected.

── The guard moved earlier ──

Typing was only checked once the list was OPEN. With arrows on the global cycle that was
no longer enough: `ctrl+shift+←/→` is select-by-word in every text field, and stealing it
mid-sentence to change a colour scheme would be indefensible. The check now runs before
the global cycle too.

Verified against a focused textarea: theme unchanged, and the word selection still
happened. The first run of that test reported a hijack, and the test was wrong — it
clicked a selector that matched nothing, swallowed the failure, and read body-focus as
a text field.

`ctrl+alt+space` still opens the list. It shipped an hour ago and fingers learn faster
than they unlearn.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4ecd45c4a9 themes get their own control, and the vimazing keys
Fourteen themes was too many to keep under an avatar next to "Sign out" — that is where
a preference goes when nobody has decided it matters. It now has its own button in the
header, between the controls and the avatar, grouped by family.

── The keys, ported from the owner's vimazing ──

  ctrl+shift+l / ctrl+shift+h   cycle forward / back, from anywhere, no UI
  ctrl+alt+space                open the list
  j / k                         move the focus
  l or space                    apply the focused theme to the app BEHIND the list
  h                             back to where you started
  enter                         keep what you are looking at
  escape                        restore and close

The browse is the point, and it is why the overlay is a portal over a 55% backdrop
rather than a modal: you are not reading names, you are watching the application change.
The theme you started on is captured when the list opens, so `h` and `escape` undo a
whole browse however many previews happened inside it.

Typing is still typing: the list ignores j/k/l/h while focus is in an input, textarea,
select or anything contenteditable.

── Where it lives ──

The key handling is in the theme package — it is behaviour that belongs to themes, and
it needs no UI. The list and the button are Officer's, because a dialog would drag a
component library into a package that currently has none.

Verified by driving the real keyboard in a browser:

  start duck-dark · ctrl+shift+l -> plain · ctrl+alt+space -> overlay
  j, l -> tokyo-night (previewed) · escape -> plain, closed

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 ba0c8600b8 chat: render images in a turn, and stop mangling the ones that were already links
Remote images were broken in the web chat and the failure looked like a network
fault. It was a rewrite. injectImages scans a turn for absolute file paths ending
in an image extension and points them at the file browser — good behaviour, since
an agent that writes /tmp/shot.png should show it rather than make you go and open
it. But 'https://host/images/duck.png' CONTAINS '/images/duck.png', so a perfectly
good markdown image became

  ![duck.png](/api/file-browser/raw?path=//host/images/duck.png)

scheme stripped, host read as a directory. Every remote image failed.

injectImages now skips regions that are already links — !?[..](..) alongside the
code fences it already skipped — and refuses any match preceded by ':' or '/', or
starting with '//', since those are the tail or the whole of a URL somebody wrote
deliberately. Moved to chat-images.ts with tests, because a regex with three
exceptions is exactly the thing that regresses silently.

Rendering added with it: markdown images now go through ChatImage, capped at
14rem HIGH — not wide, so a wide screenshot and a tall phone capture take
comparable room — and open full size in a dialog on click. A failure names the
alt text and the URL, because the useful question is always which host did not
answer.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8fa3f7da3e hex everywhere, because the palettes were half broken
Reported as "the ellipsis doesn't show in the streaming bubble". It was the visible
corner of something much larger: every Tailwind semantic utility was broken under all
eleven ported palettes.

`@theme` mapped `--color-muted-foreground: hsl(var(--muted-foreground))`, which needs an
unwrapped triplet. A ported palette publishes `#6e6a86`, so the mapping produced
`hsl(#6e6a86)` — invalid — and the utility fell back to white or transparent:

  duck-dark    text-muted-foreground=rgb(148,163,184)   bg-muted=rgb(30,41,59)
  rose-pine    text-muted-foreground=rgb(255,255,255)   bg-muted=rgba(0,0,0,0)

The themes looked convincing because panels, the page and the header read their
variables DIRECTLY rather than through a utility class. Everything that went through
Tailwind was quietly wrong, and the thinking dots — `bg-muted-foreground/60` — were
simply invisible.

So: 123 HSL triplets converted to hex across the three hand-written themes, and 37
`hsl(var(--x))` mappings unwrapped. One format everywhere, which is also the format
every published palette ships in.

The triplets only ever existed so `bg-card/50` could get opacity. That was tested
earlier tonight and turned out unnecessary — Tailwind v4 emits
`color-mix(in oklab, var(--card) 50%, transparent)` for any colour format. Having proved
it, I then left the mappings wrapped, which is what broke the palettes.

Verified across six themes: `bg-muted` and `bg-muted-foreground/60` resolve in every one
of them, and Duck's values are unchanged through the conversion — `bg-muted` is
`rgb(30,41,59)` before and after.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 94a55fe679 panel chrome stops being black
Reported against a dark theme: the panel header's title, zoom readout and controls were
hardcoded `text-black`, `text-black/60`, `hover:bg-black/10` and `border-black/10`.
Legible on Duck's pale glass, invisible on every palette theme — which is the whole
class of bug the theme work exists to remove, sitting in the one component I moved
between packages and did not re-read.

Three derived tokens, so no theme has to think about them:

  --panel-header-fg-dim     the header's ink at 60%   (the zoom readout)
  --panel-header-border     the header's ink at 15%   (the rule under it)
  --panel-control-hover     the header's ink at 12%   (control hover)

The swap, drop-target and app-picker chrome used `duck-teal` and `text-white` directly.
Those now use `--panel-accent` and a new `--panel-accent-fg`, so a chip on the accent
stays readable whatever the accent is.

Verified across five themes rather than by reading:

  duck-dark          ink=rgb(248,250,252)
  duck-light         ink=rgb(2,8,23)
  rose-pine          ink=rgb(224,222,244)
  gruvbox            ink=rgb(235,219,178)
  catppuccin-latte   ink=rgb(76,79,105)

Two comments corrected while there: both asserted the chrome "is black throughout",
which was true when written and is now the opposite of true.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fd78495b5a every theme declares the mark
The logo is now stated by each of the fourteen themes rather than supplied by a default
none of them mentions. The base default stays empty, which is the right answer for a
theme written by a stranger — showing nothing beats showing someone else's brand.

Explicit costs one line and buys two things: a theme that ships a brand says so, and a
white-labelled build replaces a line it can see instead of hunting for the default that
was quietly doing the work.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b106f67288 twenty tokens is the contract; eleven palettes prove it
Officer now ships fourteen themes. Eleven of them were written by other people, ported
unchanged, and none of them knows that panels, docks, glass, grids or scrollbars exist.

── What changed ──

`base.css` derives every surface from the standard tokens: a panel is `card` at 92%, the
header is `card` at 85%, grid lines are `border` faded, scrollbars are `muted-foreground`.
Those defaults sit on `:root`; a theme sits on `[data-theme='x']` and both land on
<html>, so a theme's own declaration simply outranks them. No machinery.

State tones are defaulted too — shadcn's vocabulary has `destructive` and nothing else,
and green-means-good is a convention rather than a palette decision. That is what drops
the required contract from 29 to 20: exactly the tokens every published shadcn palette
already ships.

So there are now three tiers, and an author picks one:

  palette   20 tokens                  Tokyo Night, Gruvbox, Nord — surfaces derived
  textured  + a few surfaces           glass, blur, radius, a wallpaper of its own
  white-label + assets                 its own logo and background

Duck is tier three and is untouched — verified by probe: it still reports
`panel=#ffffff1f`, `blur=24px` and its own grid, because its declarations outrank the
new defaults.

── Verified before committing, not assumed ──

The whole HSL-triplet design existed to make `bg-card/50` work. Tested it: Tailwind v4
emits `color-mix(in oklab, var(--card) 50%, transparent)` for a HEX token, with a
`@supports` fallback. The unwrapped triplets were never necessary, and the ported
palettes are plain hex.

Six themes probed in the browser: each derives panels from its own card colour,
including the light one (Catppuccin Latte).

── Credit ──

The eleven palettes and the idea of a small standard contract come from the owner's
`vimazing` repository, which solved this more simply than we had. What Officer adds is
the surface layer underneath, so a palette gets a textured app for free.

── One open decision ──

`--logo-src` defaults to empty, so a palette theme shows no mark at all. Correct for a
third-party theme; probably wrong for Officer, where the alternative is defaulting to
the officer.dev logo and letting a white-label theme replace it. One line either way.

tsgo clean, suite unchanged, builds.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 571deac731 one react-resizable-panels, and honest metadata for the peers
Two dependency problems, and only one of them was real.

── Real: two majors of the same library ──

The root asked for `react-resizable-panels@^4.0.15` (4.6.5) while
`src/workspaces/components` asked for `^2.1.7` (2.1.9). The workspace code targets 2.x,
whose API differs — v4 has no `PanelGroup` export, no `order` prop and no `ref` on
`Panel` — so a file that resolved the root's copy failed to typecheck in a way that
read like a broken extraction.

Nothing imported the root's version. It was vestigial, and removing it collapses the
repository to one: every importer now resolves 2.1.9 and the lockfile has zero v4
entries.

── Not real: the second React ──

Declaring react/react-dom in the package created
`src/workspaces/workspaces/node_modules/react`, which looks exactly like the
duplicate-instance bug that silently breaks hooks. It is not one. Both locations resolve
to the SAME file in bun's store — the local entry is a symlink — which I established by
resolving the specifier from each place instead of reading directory names, having
already reported it as a hazard on the strength of an `ls`.

Declared as optional peers regardless: that is the right metadata for a consumer, and it
stops bun installing peers it does not need to.

Notes corrected to match, since the wrong version of that story was written down.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4c97e69ecd extract the workspace framework into its own package
Phase 1: the Workspace/Panel system is `src/workspaces/workspaces`, and it no longer
knows Officer exists.

The proof is its test suite. 114 tests mount `WorkspaceView` under a BARE React tree —
no react-query provider, no router, no Officer hook — which is only possible because
the host now supplies everything: a registry mapping `appType` to a component, and a
layout with a way to change it.

Officer is untouched. All 24 `WorkspaceView` sites and 8 `WorkspaceLayout` sites call
exactly what they called before; `Workspace/index.ts` became an adapter that adds back
the three things that are genuinely ours — the app registry, fullscreen persistence in
sessionStorage, and the handshake that stands the nav header down for a fullscreen
panel.

── The shape, and why it is this shape ──

`core/` is the tree and every operation on it: pure, no dependencies, no React. `react/`
is one renderer. That split is phase 2's whole cost saving — a second renderer reuses
`splitPanel`, `movePanel`, `normalizeLayout` and the rest untouched, and what will not
port is the resize INTERACTION rather than the layout engine.

It was already half done: `layout-utils.ts` imported only `./types`, and `WorkspaceView`
already received `{ key, value, setValue, isLoaded }` as a prop and always wrote through
an updater. The real coupling was the registry, fullscreen, and four UI imports.

Also deleted ~175 lines of dead code — `DragOverlay`, `LayoutEditor`, `WorkspaceHeader`
— referenced by nothing.

── Two dependency traps ──

**A second React.** Declaring react/react-dom in the package produced a second copy
under its own node_modules. Two React instances break hooks at runtime and are invisible
until something renders. The package now declares almost nothing while it lives here.

**Two versions of react-resizable-panels.** The root asks ^4.0.15 (4.6.5),
`src/workspaces/components` asks ^2.1.7 (2.1.9), and this code targets 2.x — v4 has no
`PanelGroup`, no `order`, no `ref` on Panel. Inheriting the root resolution produced a
screenful of type errors that read like a broken extraction and were a version
mismatch. Pinned; the duplication itself is worth fixing one day.

── Verified ──

tsgo clean. Package suite 114/114. Full suite 950 pass / 7 fail, unchanged. Frontend
builds, and the running app was screenshotted against the pre-extraction baseline: 9 of
16 byte-identical, the rest live data and the rotating wallpaper. Panel chrome, headers,
splitters and the grid all render as before.

Docs written as part of the work: the package README is the contract, and

classes the package still assumes, and phase 2.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f977d26fef a ratchet on hardcoded colour, and the docs to match
The three previous attempts at this job died of endlessness, not difficulty. Nothing
stopped the next component arriving with its own `text-emerald-400` while an old one
was being fixed, so the number never fell for long.

`bun run check:theme` counts palette classes per directory against a committed
baseline. It does not care what the number is, only which way it moves. 942 across 21
directories today. Every directory can be paid down independently and none can quietly
regrow — which turns an infinite job into a finite one.

A baseline rather than a ban, deliberately: a rule forbidding palette classes outright
fails on its first run, and a check nobody can make pass is a check everybody turns
off.

Proven by adding one `text-emerald-400` and watching it fail with the directory, the
delta, and what to use instead.

── Documentation, which is part of the work rather than after it ──

`src/workspaces/theme/README.md` is new and is the contract: how to write a theme, all
84 declarations by family, why colours are unwrapped HSL triplets while surfaces are
complete CSS values, why assets are quoted paths, and the rules for components. Start
from Plain, not from Duck — every value you change is then one you decided about.

`plugins/EXTRACTING-A-PLUGIN.md` gains a rule beside the others: a plugin never
hardcodes a colour, and pays its debt down DURING the extraction. The counts are named
there — Soulseek 313, Invoices 95, Wallet 68 — because "some colours" does not convey
that it is two thirds of the platform's total. The kickoff prompt says the same thing
in the form a fresh agent will meet it.

That is what makes the plugin exemption safe rather than a way of losing the work: the
ratchet stops covering a directory the moment it leaves, so the rule has to travel with
it.

`THEMES-NOTES.md` rewritten to match reality — it still listed done things as open.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 997f7e7a87 the account stores a theme, not a colour mode
Your theme now follows the account instead of living in one browser's localStorage.
Choosing Plain on a laptop reaches the phone.

`appearance.colorMode` is superseded by `appearance.theme`. Along the way this
resolves a mismatch that had been sitting there: the server's default was
`appearance: { theme: 'light' }` while the client read `appearance.colorMode`, so that
default had never once been read by anything. Both sides say `theme` now.

The Light/Dark item is gone from the user menu. Light and dark are two themes, both
already in the list above it, and that toggle was the last writer of the legacy key.

── Two bugs found by testing this, both mine, both silent ──

**A default that looked like a choice.** `useSettings` returns `DEFAULT_SETTINGS`
until the request lands — `settings` is never null, it is a complete valid object. So
"wait for settings" fired on the first render against the defaults, marked itself
done, applied the default theme and never saw the real one. Then the persist side
wrote that default over the account's actual preference. It overwrote the owner's own
`dark` while I was testing it; restored by hand from the `colorMode` it had not yet
destroyed. `useSettings` now exposes `settingsLoaded` so the difference is expressible.

**Defaults masking a migration.** With that fixed, an account holding only
`colorMode: 'dark'` STILL came up light. The client merges `DEFAULT_SETTINGS` over
whatever arrives, so a missing `theme` is filled in with the default before any
consumer sees it — and a default is indistinguishable from a choice. The migration
therefore belongs on the SERVER, which sees the stored object before anything is
merged over it. It is read-only: a GET that rewrites the row on every call is a
surprise, and the client persists on its next change anyway.

Verified by putting the account into the pre-themes shape and asking the new handler
directly, rather than by restarting to find out:

  stored: {"colorMode":"dark"}  ->  returned: {"colorMode":"dark","theme":"duck-dark"}

── Needs a restart ──

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 12f1e93c4a panels are a themed surface, not three literal rgba pairs
The cornerstone of the layout was the least themeable thing in it. Measured before
touching anything, which is the only reason this is the right fix:

  duck-dark  radius=8px  bg=rgba(255,255,255,0.12)  border=rgba(0,0,0,0.25)  blur=24px
  plain      radius=0px  bg=rgba(255,255,255,0.12)  border=rgba(0,0,0,0.25)  blur=24px

So the RADIUS was already following `--radius` and I had been telling the owner
otherwise — the rounding in the Plain screenshot was something else. What did not
follow anything was the surface: three literal rgba pairs and a fixed `backdrop-blur-xl`
in the component.

Now:

  plain      radius=0px  bg=rgb(255,255,255)  border=rgb(0,0,0)  blur=0px

Two distinctions the old code drew in literals are kept as tokens rather than
flattened, because both are real and a theme should be able to revisit them.
`--panel-raised-*` is the fullscreen surface: DENSER glass, not darker, because panel
chrome is dark text and a heavy dark fill hid every icon. `--panel-border-bare` is for a
panel with no header, which has nothing else separating it from what it sits on.

`--panel-blur` earns its place beyond theming: a flat theme was paying for a 24px
backdrop blur it did not want, and on a solid panel the compositor does that work for
nothing.

── A near miss worth recording ──

The first attempt silently changed nothing. The patch matched on four spaces of
indentation where the file has two, `str.replace` reported no error, the build
succeeded, and `panel-blur` DID apply — so the class landed while the surface did not.
It looked like a partial success and would have shipped as one. Caught by measuring
computed styles again rather than trusting the edit; the fix now asserts the
replacement changed the file.

950 pass / 7 fail unchanged.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 dfb8a6d6cb a sixth tone, and no raw palette left in the core apps
The five core apps — FileBrowser, FileViewer, SystemMonitor, Chat, Plugins — now
contain ZERO raw Tailwind palette classes. Every colour in them names a state or a
surface, so all of it follows the theme.

── Busy ──

The 38 ambers were the blocker, and the answer was not to pick between two wrong
mappings. They mean RUNNING — Chat's own comment says "the amber a RUNNING task chip
wears" — and the vocabulary had no word for it. `warning` would have made a working
job look like a failing one, and `--status-in-progress` is blue.

So `tone.ts` has six tones instead of five. It was always written as a closed set that
could grow when a genuine sixth state appeared; this is that.

`--busy-ink` comes with it, and generalises: a fill bright enough to carry black text
is far too light to BE text. The other five tones are dark enough to do both jobs,
which is why the problem had not surfaced. `text-amber-950` — ink ON the fill — became
`text-busy-foreground`, which is what it always was.

── On fidelity, which stopped being the constraint ──

Duck's exact colours were preserved up to this point because an extraction has to be
provably invisible. The owner has since said the palette is not precious: the
wallpaper, the graph-paper grid and the mark are what matter, and everything else can
move. So shades collapse — one busy, one red, one green — rather than being
approximated to keep old pixels.

The verification built for the old constraint keeps its value: it proves the token
layer resolves, which is a different claim from "the colours did not change".

Verified: the utilities compile (`text-busy-ink`, `bg-busy`, `border-busy`,
`text-busy-foreground`) and resolve in the browser.

950 pass / 7 fail unchanged. tsgo clean.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a52d3e06f3 one red and one green, in the core apps
82 raw palette classes in FileBrowser, FileViewer, SystemMonitor, Chat and Plugins now
name a state instead of a colour. `docs/design-language-interface.md` has said to do
this for a long time and `tone.ts` implements it; eight files were following it.

Only the families whose semantic token IS the colour already in use:

  destructive  #ef4444  ==  text-red-500    exact
  success      #16a34a  ==  text-green-600  exact

So `red-500` and `green-600` are byte-identical renames, and the neighbouring shades
(`red-400`, `red-600`, `green-500`, `emerald-500`) shift by a little on purpose —
having one red is the point. Verified on screen, not just typechecked.

Three greys became `muted-foreground`, which is what "quieter than the text" means
here.

── Amber is deliberately untouched, and needs a decision ──

38 amber classes remain and a regex must not have them. They are not warnings.
Chat's own comment says it plainly: "the amber a RUNNING task chip wears". It is a
BUSY tone, and the token set has no such thing — `--status-in-progress` exists and is
blue.

Mapping them to `warning` would change both meaning and colour: Duck's `--warning` is
#fbbd23 (amber-400) while the code uses amber-600 #d97706 as text and amber-950 as
ink on a fill. Text at that lightness on white is not readable, and "running" would
start looking like "something is wrong".

Two ways out, both the owner's call: add a sixth tone for busy/queued, or accept
warning's colour and meaning for it.

── Deliberately out of scope ──

The plugin candidates — Soulseek 308, Invoices 95, Wallet 68, Jellyfin 48, Photos 47,
Transmission 41 — are two thirds of the debt and are leaving this repository. Their
colours belong to their extraction, when the rules exist and their imports are being
rewritten anyway.

White and black are also untouched: they are media overlays in the file viewer and
photo surfaces, correct in every theme because they sit on someone's photograph rather
than on a themed surface.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e9cb244818 the wallpaper, the header and the mark belong to the theme
Asked whether these could follow the theme too. They are the three most visible things
on screen and were the three least reachable: `Background.tsx` hardcoded
`url('/landscape1.webp')`, the header carried `rgba(255,255,255,0.25)` and `#1d2724`
in an inline style, and the logo was an `<img src>`.

Between them that is most of what "the app looks like Officer" actually meant. The
Plain theme turned every panel white and all three stayed exactly as they were, which
is how they were found — the leak detector doing its job on its first outing.

Verified across all three themes:

  duck-dark   wallpaper=landscape1.webp  header=rgba(255,255,255,0.25)
  duck-light  wallpaper=landscape1.webp  header=rgba(255,255,255,0.25)
  plain       wallpaper=none             header=rgb(255,255,255)

── Images could not be done the obvious way ──

`--logo-image: url('/officer-logo.svg')` fails the build. Bun's CSS bundler resolves
`url()` at BUILD time and these files are served from `public/` at RUNTIME, so it goes
looking for a module that does not exist. Colours apply themselves; images cannot.

So a theme publishes a quoted PATH — an ordinary string token the bundler ignores —
and `useThemeAsset` reads it and wraps it in `url()`. One hook rather than the read
inline in two components, because the quote-stripping is the kind of detail that gets
forgotten the second time.

The logo is a `<div role="img">` with a background image rather than an `<img>`, since
CSS cannot set a `src` and a white-labelled build has to replace the mark from its
theme rather than by editing the header.

The header's title colour goes through a `.header-ink` class: `EditableTitle` accepts
a className and not a style, and the token stays the source of truth either way.

Panel radius and the ~985 raw palette usages are still outstanding — see
THEMES-NOTES.md.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 1be4bcd39a prove the extraction faithful, and fix the one thing that was not
The screenshots said seven dark screens differed and could not say why. Comparing
COMPUTED theme variables between the old build and the new one, in the same colour
mode, answered it in a single run: 47 of 53 matched exactly, and the six that did not
were the `--duck-*` variables — EMPTY in the new build.

The utilities were remapped to `--brand-primary`, `--ink` and friends, which is
correct. What that missed is code reading the VARIABLE rather than using the utility.
`prose.css` does exactly that eleven times — chat markdown links, blockquotes, inline
code, checkboxes — and `landing/styles.css` does it six more. All silently resolved to
nothing.

Fixed by keeping the legacy names as aliases in every theme, pointing at the new
source of truth rather than duplicating values. That also covers any plugin or inline
style doing the same thing, which I have not enumerated. They retire when the utility
rename lands.

Every variable now matches.

── What the screenshots are actually worth here ──

Less than I assumed. The wallpaper rotates per page load, so a control capture of the
same build against itself had 4 of 16 screens differ — and a different 4 each time.
Between 5 and 6 come out byte-identical to the baseline on any run; the rest is noise
I mistook for signal for two rounds, including one where I removed a `color-scheme`
line to test a theory it turned out not to explain.

The variable diff is the instrument that settles it, and it is cheap. Added as
`scripts/theme-vardiff.ts`.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 105766a4eb extract the visual layer into its own workspace
The application no longer knows what it looks like. It imports one stylesheet and
mounts one provider; every colour, surface and radius lives in `src/workspaces/theme`.

Proven both directions, because either alone would be worthless:

  Duck renders IDENTICALLY to before — checked against screenshots taken before
  anything was touched, not asserted.

  Plain renders as white with black ink, no component edits — panels turn white, the
  teal avatar turns black, the grid fills vanish.

── What moved ──

`globals.css` held three unrelated things: Tailwind wiring, the token contract, and
the Duck brand's hex values. Split along those seams. `base.css` is structure and
names no colour; a theme file is values and nothing else, scoped to
`[data-theme='<id>']`. Adding a theme is a CSS file plus one registry line.

Light and dark are separate themes rather than a mode — the owner's call, and it
removes a concept from the app. Each is written out in full: a theme that only makes
sense as a diff against another cannot be authored by a stranger or sold to a
customer. `.dark` survives only as a per-theme flag, because 396 `dark:` utilities in
33 components resolve against it; retiring those retires the flag.

The `duck-*` utility names are kept for now and pointed at neutral variables, so a
non-Duck theme can define them sensibly. Renaming 1,470 occurrences in the same commit
as the extraction would make any visual difference impossible to attribute. Worth
recording that `duck-dark` was never a brand colour — `#14532d` in light, near-white
in dark, used by 946 components to mean "text". It is `--ink` now.

Surfaces are complete CSS values rather than HSL triplets: `--panel-bg` has to be able
to be a gradient or an image, or the glass the app already has would be unthemeable.

The old provider is a re-export, so its six call sites are untouched and the
extraction stays one variable.

── Bug found by the Plain theme ──

`useThemeSync` stamped the server's `appearance.colorMode` over the local theme on
every load, so choosing Plain and reloading silently reverted it. Diagnosed by asking
the page what it was wearing rather than reasoning: `stored` said `duck-dark` when the
script had written `plain`. The server value is now a starting point for a browser
that has never chosen, not a continuous instruction.

── Tools ──

Two, both of which lied to me before they worked. The snapshot script photographed
light twice and called it a clean run (one browser context, accumulated init scripts);
it now warns when a light/dark pair is identical. The preview server returned the
shell for missing assets, so the logo and wallpaper vanished and read as regressions
in the comparison — it falls through to upstream now.

Dead Tailwind v3 residue deleted: `components/ui/tailwind.{config.ts,css}`, referenced
by nothing, with content globs pointing at a directory that does not exist.

── Not done, deliberately ──

`THEMES-NOTES.md` has the full list. The headlines: the reference repo has not been
read, so the switching mechanism is deliberately the dumbest thing that works; the
wallpaper, panel radius and logo are still component-owned and Plain proves it; and
~985 raw Tailwind palette usages remain, worst in Soulseek.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7980ee3761 photograph the app before touching how it looks
The themes work moves every colour out of the components and into a token layer, and
the entire value of that is being INVISIBLE. Nothing here could have told us whether
that held: the tests do not render, and comparing two screens from memory an hour
apart misses exactly the things this can break — a border colour, a radius, one mode
of two.

Eight routes, both colour modes, against the running app. Byte comparison rather than
a pixel-tolerance diff: a false alarm costs opening two images, a false all-clear
costs the refactor.

The first version was worthless and looked fine. It reused one browser context and
added an init script per mode — Playwright ACCUMULATES those, so the dark pass ran the
light script too, and the class toggle after `goto` was undone by the provider's own
effect. Six of eight routes came out byte-identical in light and dark, which reads as
a clean run. A context per mode fixes it, the class is asserted after settling rather
than before, and identical light/dark pairs now print a warning instead of passing
quietly.

Verified rather than assumed: 15 distinct images of 16, every route differs between
modes, and one was opened to confirm it is the authenticated app and not eight
variations of an error boundary.

Baselines are gitignored — 7MB of machine-specific PNGs. Regenerate with the script.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b3b44ee77d changing route in a preview no longer reloads the app
Reported as "I change routes and a second later the whole app refreshes". The second
was mine: the 800ms debounce on writing the location down.

`DevProxyFrame`'s session effect had the composed URL in its dependency list. That URL
changes every time the app navigates, so the effect re-ran — and its first act is
`setReady(false)`, which swaps the frame for "Connecting…" and takes the iframe out of
the tree. Coming back mounted a fresh one. A full page load, one debounce after every
click.

Watching the URL was never right: the cookie is issued with `Path=/api/dev-proxy` and
no port in it, so it already covers every path and port the panel can reach. It now
depends on entering proxy mode and on an explicit reload, where re-requesting is the
whole point.

── A second bug, found while fixing the first, not yet reported ──

Freezing `src` at mount stopped the app's navigation from reloading the frame — and
also stopped a newly TYPED url from loading, because nothing remounted. The panel
would have silently ignored a change of address.

The two pull in opposite directions, which is what makes the pair the interesting
part rather than either fix. They are told apart by which value changes: `entry` moves
only when a person points the panel somewhere else, `target` moves when the app does.
So the frame is keyed on `entry` and loads `target`.

── The tests were made to fail first ──

Three component tests, and both bugs were re-introduced one at a time to check the
tests actually catch them:

  URL back in the effect deps      -> "the app navigating does NOT reload" FAILS
  key back to reloadToken alone    -> "a newly typed url DOES load" FAILS

Either bug alone would have been passed by a test written for the other, so they only
mean anything as a pair. Both were invisible to reading the component and obvious in
the DOM — the assertion is node identity across a rerender, which is the same question
as whether the browser re-requested the page.

`fetch` is stubbed and restored per test rather than `mock.module('hooks/useClient')`:
Bun has one module registry for the whole run, so that mock is process-wide and
permanent, and `useDashboardState.test.tsx` already owns it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d771736a0d the preview panel follows the app's navigation
The panel knew one URL: the one you typed. Navigate three pages into an app and the
header still showed the front door, "open in a new tab" still went there, and a
reload — which fires by itself whenever a dev server restarts — threw away where you
were and started again at `/`.

Now the app reports where it is, and a reload composes it back.

── How the panel finds out ──

The frame is same-origin for a proxied preview, so `contentWindow.location` is
readable. It is PUSHED rather than read, because a dev server is an SPA: a route
change is `history.pushState`, which fires no event and never reloads the document.
Polling would have to be constant and would still lag. The script the proxy already
injects now patches `pushState`/`replaceState`, listens for `popstate`/`hashchange`,
and posts the path — with the proxy prefix stripped, since that is plumbing and the
panel should not have to know about it to show a URL.

Only proxied previews can do this. A cross-origin frame reports nothing, and grafting
a remembered path onto someone else's host would be inventing a URL, so `targetUrl`
composes only when there is a port.

── Two fields, and the loop that forced them ──

`url` is what you pointed the panel at; `current` is where it has got to. The obvious
design is one field — a browser has one address bar — and it feeds itself: the stored
value IS the iframe's `src`, so recording a route change hands the frame a new `src`
for the page it is already showing, which browsers treat as a navigation. Every click
would cost a reload.

Belt and braces, because one of the two would be enough only until someone changed
the other: the fields are separate, AND `PreviewFrame` captures its `src` at mount
and ignores later changes. Remount-by-key is still how a reload happens.

`ev.source` identifies which frame is talking. `message` is a window-level event and
two same-origin previews hear each other; comparing the posting window to this
iframe's `contentWindow` is exact, where matching on URL would break the moment two
panels pointed at the same port.

Writes are debounced 800ms. `useDashboardState.setValue` PATCHes the server on every
call and an SPA emits a route change per click; the value is only read at mount, so
being a second behind costs nothing.

Also: the header shows `localhost:3001/settings` rather than
`api/dev-proxy/3001/settings`, and editing starts from that — one is a thing you can
retype, the other is not.

── Tests ──

The reporter is RUN, not string-matched: `new Function` against a fake window, which
also means a syntax error in the injected script fails the suite rather than silently
breaking every proxied page. Covers prefix stripping, the app root reporting `/`
rather than empty, query and hash surviving, the report on load, pushState, and
popstate. Plus the composition helpers, including that an ordinary URL is never
composed with a path.

── One stale comment corrected while in there ──

The file claimed `allow-same-origin` "is present, and has to be". There is no
`sandbox` attribute at all, so nothing was present — and a sandbox with
`allow-same-origin` plus `allow-scripts` is worth roughly nothing anyway, since the
frame can remove its own sandbox attribute. Now says that.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 92bac490d7 attach a PDF and the agent reads it; the microphone button is gone
Two requests, one file apart.

── The microphone ──

Removed from the chat composer. The HOOK stays: `useAudioRecording` and `blobToWav`
are also the file browser's DictateDialog, which is not what was asked to go.

── PDFs, by not extracting anything ──

A PDF entry sat in the attach menu once with no `onSelect` at all — the menu offered
it and did nothing, because nothing here could extract PDF text. It is back and real,
and it still extracts nothing: the file is uploaded, left on disk, and the agent is
given its PATH. Its own `Read` handles PDFs by page, better than any extraction this
could have shipped, and it can go back for a section later without paying for it
twice.

The alternative was base64 in the message. That is megabytes in the turn, re-sent for
the rest of the conversation, to produce worse text.

── What this uncovered ──

`attachmentIds` has been on this websocket and in `types.ts` for a long time and
NOTHING on the server read it. Images work because they travel separately as base64,
so the ids were dead on the wire — and a PDF is exactly the case that needs them. They
resolve to paths now, appended to the prompt as `Attached files (read from disk)`.

Ids arrive in a websocket message and become a filesystem path, so they are checked
rather than trusted: only the `<uuid>.<ext>` shape uploads actually generate, and only
in the two directories uploads actually write to. Verified — a valid id resolves, an
unknown one yields nothing, and `../../../../etc/passwd` and `; rm -rf /` yield
nothing.

Both upload directories are searched because the first message of a chat carries ids
written to `tmp/` (no session yet) and later ones carry ids under the session.

PDFs may be 25 MB against an image's 5: nothing carries them into a prompt, so the
ceiling is storage rather than context.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f4f8ea32d1 a paused job shows a pause icon, not a spinner
The details panel kept spinning after Pause, so a frozen dev server looked like a
working one. The spinner is the whole claim being made, and it was false — the
state most likely to be watched, since the panel is where you sit while a `bun dev`
runs.

Amber either way: it is still a live job holding its port and its memory, which is
what separates paused from stopped. What changes is the motion, and the line beside
it now reads `paused` rather than `running…`.

── And the state moved up a level ──

`paused` lived in the panel, which unmounts when you close it. Closing and
reopening would have put a spinning icon back over a stopped process — the exact
failure this commit is fixing, arriving by a different route. It is the tray's now,
so it survives the panel being closed.

Still per-session: a reload forgets, and the button then offers Pause on a job that
is already frozen. SIGSTOP makes that harmless, and the honest fix is asking the
process rather than remembering — `ps -o state=` on the pids holding the output
file would make it survive anything, at the cost of a spawn per poll. Worth doing
if this ever misleads.

The chip is unchanged: a paused job still shows the running dot there, because live
is what that dot means and the distinction belongs where the controls are.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 bc2bafe24a a queue can no longer be delivered to the wrong conversation
My fix was worse than the bug it replaced. Queue in one chat, switch to another,
and the messages were SENT there — into a conversation the person had not written
them in.

`ChatDetailPanel` mounts `<EmbeddableChat sessionId={undefined}>` and passed no
panel id, so `queueKey` fell through to `screen:new` for every conversation it
showed. One key, every chat. Switching restored the queue into the chat being
opened, and the mount-drain I added — which exists so a returning queue is not left
sitting there — then delivered it. Two of my changes, each defensible alone,
combining into the worst outcome available.

Three things, in order of what actually protects the user:

**A key that cannot be shared.** `queueKey` returns null when neither a panel nor a
session identifies the mount, and null persists nothing. Then an unidentifiable
chat behaves exactly as it did before any of this: queue local to the mount, lost on
a switch. That is the original complaint, and it is strictly better than delivering
to the wrong place. A shared key is worse than no key.

**The drain refuses a null key too.** Belt and braces: nothing was restored, so
nothing may be sent.

**`ChatDetailPanel` now says which conversation it is**, from `resumeSessionId`,
which it already had in scope. The identity was one line away the whole time.

Three tests pin it, including the collision itself: two resumed conversations must
not produce the same key, and a null key must never persist.

The lesson I would rather write down than repeat: I added the mount-drain reasoning
about a queue's promise, and never asked what it would do if the key were wrong. A
mechanism that sends messages needs its failure mode considered before its happy
path.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0d3a7fc33f queued messages survive switching to another chat
First report from somebody who is not us. Queue messages in a chat that is
working, open a different conversation, come back: gone.

Not a bug in the sense of code doing the wrong thing — `ChatPanelInner` is keyed on
the session id, so opening another conversation REMOUNTS it, and that key is
load-bearing (`useChat` seeds its state from the first session id it sees, so a
remount is the honest way to say "this is a different chat"). The queue was local
state and died with the mount. It was built for the minute between writing a message
and a turn ending; switching away mid-turn was never in that picture.

Now it lives in a module-level store, seeded on mount and written through on every
change. Losing text somebody typed is the worst thing this could do, and it was
doing it silently.

── Keyed by panel AND session ──

Two panels can both be on a new chat, where the session id is `new` for both. Keying
on the session alone would hand one panel's queue to the other — the same class of
mistake wearing the opposite face.

── One decision that was not in the report ──

A restored queue now DELIVERS on return if the agent is free. The existing drain only
fires when a turn ends, and a remount has no such transition to watch, so without
this you would come back to your messages sitting in the tray with nothing about to
happen — which is the second report I would get. "These go when the agent is free" is
the promise; the agent being free is exactly that case. Only on mount, and only when
nothing is running: while a turn IS running the ordinary drain owns them, and firing
here too would deliver twice.

── Not persisted, deliberately ──

Module state, so it dies with the tab. A queue is a promise about the next minute;
restoring one on a page loaded tomorrow would fire a message into a conversation whose
context has moved on. Surviving a panel switch is the whole requirement.

11 tests, including the two-panels-on-one-conversation and both-on-a-new-chat

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fccabfcea3 the preview authorises itself before it mounts the frame
401 on every asset, white pane. The server was never wrong — replaying the exact
browser sequence with a minted owner token gave HTML 200, `set-cookie` present, and
the sub-resource authorised. So the fault was in how the frame got its credential,
and both mechanisms it relied on were guesses.

Putting the token on the iframe URL guesses which key the browser stored it under.
Letting the frame mount and hoping guesses that a cookie from some earlier load is
still there. When either guess misses, the HTML renders, every sub-resource 401s,
and the pane is white — which is the shape that makes this hard to read, because
the document loading looks like success.

So neither is used now. The panel asks `/api/dev-proxy/session` with the ordinary
API client — which already knows how to authenticate, because it sends the header on
every other call it makes — and mounts the frame only once that returns. The iframe
URL carries nothing. `iframeSrc` is deleted rather than left as a fallback: a second
path that runs when the first fails is how you get a bug that only appears
sometimes.

`Authorization` rather than a query parameter, so the token never reaches an
address, a log or a Referer. Re-run on every reload, so a preview left open
overnight recovers by itself instead of showing a wall of 401s.

── Also fixed: a lie attached to every binary asset ──

The non-rewritable branch returned the upstream's `content-encoding` and
`content-length` unchanged, but `fetch` had already decompressed the body — so the
browser was told to inflate plain bytes, with a length that no longer matched. The
rewrite branch had always deleted both. Images, fonts and wasm were affected;
nothing had hit it yet because the test app serves none.

Verified: `/session` 200 and sets the cookie with a token, 401 without; the frame
200 with the cookie, 401 with nothing.

`[open]` A request that escapes the prefix hits the SPA catch-all and returns
`200 text/html` instead of 404, so a `<script>` gets HTML, the MIME check refuses it
silently, and nothing appears as an error. That masks this entire class of bug and
is worth closing separately.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 73eb128fb1 pause, resume and restart a background job without asking the agent
Three buttons in the expanded task panel, beside Stop. Not on the chip: the panel
is where you decide what to do with a job, and a row of unlabelled glyphs on a pill
is where you misclick.

── Pause / Resume ──

SIGSTOP and SIGCONT — the only pair that means "stop doing things and keep
everything". The process keeps its memory, its open files and its bound port, and
picks up mid-instruction. Signals go to every pid holding the job's output file,
because for a shell job that is the shell AND what it spawned, and freezing one of
them would be worse than freezing neither.

Verified by watching a job that writes a line a second: 3 lines, frozen at 3 across
three seconds of pause, 6 after resume.

Worth knowing before pressing it: a paused server does not REFUSE connections, it
stops answering them, so a browser pointed at it hangs rather than erroring. That is
what pausing is, not a shortcoming here.

── Restart, and the cost it accepts ──

The command is recovered by joining the transcript to itself: the harness records
the `tool_use` carrying `command`, and separately its result — the text
`Command running in background with ID: <id>`. Neither alone is enough; together
they are a join on `tool_use_id`, and that is the only place the command survives.
The transcript is found FROM the output path rather than searched for, since a task
file at `<tmp>/claude-<uid>/<slug>/<session>/tasks/<id>.output` names both.

The respawned process appends to that same output file. That is what keeps
everything else working untouched — the log view reads that file, and Stop finds the
process by asking which pids hold it open.

The real cost, chosen deliberately: the platform becomes a SECOND owner of a task.
The harness stops watching when its own child dies, so the platform supervises what
it spawned and emits the same `task:started` / `task:notification` pair everything
downstream is built on. `emitToSession` is the seam, and it is the only one — nothing
else learns that a task can have two kinds of parent.

A restart re-announces an id already in the transcript, so `task:started` now RESETS
an existing task row rather than appending a second one. Without that the tray showed
the job twice, once finished and once running.

Restart is offered for a finished job too, which is the case that matters most: a dev
server that fell over is exactly what you want back without typing a sentence at an
agent that may be mid-turn.

Verified end to end against a planted task: command recovered, old process killed,
new one spawned, output APPENDED (`first run output` then `RESTARTED-OK`), exit
reported through the callback, supervision registry released afterwards.

`[open]` A restarted job does not survive an `officer` restart — the platform is its
parent now. The harness's own jobs never did either.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7d64b0a0d6 paste localhost:3000 into the preview and see the server's port
No proxy host, no certificate, no port opened. `/api/dev-proxy/5173/…` forwards to
`http://127.0.0.1:5173/…` over the platform's own origin, and the panel maps what
you type onto it.

── Why a proxy at all, when the ask was "just point at localhost" ──

Neither direct route works from a browser on https://<platform>.
`http://localhost:5173` resolves on the VIEWER's machine, not the server's, and
`http://<server>:5173` is mixed content inside an https page and is blocked before
it is even attempted. Both fail looking exactly like the dev server being down. The
bytes have to arrive over an origin the page already trusts, which is the platform.

A dev server can therefore stay bound to 127.0.0.1. The workflow this replaces —
one NPM proxy host per app — needs it on 0.0.0.0 plus a firewall rule for the
docker bridge, so this is both less setup and less exposure.

── What came back from `188b45c1^`, and what did not ──

The 46-line HTML/asset rewrite, which is the hard-won part: absolute paths in the
document, plus an injected script that intercepts fetch/XHR/WebSocket for the URLs
built at runtime. Its JWT injection is deleted — those apps called the PLATFORM's
API; a dev server proxied here talks to itself, and handing its process the owner's
bearer token would be giving credentials to whatever is on that port.

The other 314 lines are not back: spawning, port discovery, idle timers, log
collection, a proxyId registry. The port is the id, and the background-job button
already starts dev servers.

── HMR is bridged, because "see it" without "follow it" is half the feature ──

The injected script rewrites the dev server's socket under the prefix; the relay
dials `ws://127.0.0.1:<port>` and forwards frames both ways. Same shape as the vault
relay including the non-obvious part — state registered synchronously and frames
queued until the upstream opens, because Bun requires the upgrade to be synchronous
and an HMR client speaks immediately. An upstream close closes the client, which is
what makes a dev-server restart reconnect by itself.

── Access, which was not in the ask and is not optional ──

This route reaches any loopback port on the machine, on a host that answers from the
public internet. An iframe cannot carry a bearer token — it is a navigation — so the
panel puts it in the URL once, the proxy verifies it is the OWNER through
`resolveAuthToken`, and issues a short-lived cookie every sub-resource then carries.
Anonymous and non-owner requests get 401, verified. Owner-only rather than a
permission: reading an arbitrary loopback port is the `execution` power the registry
says can never be granted.

Both exemptions are registered with reasons, and the boot check earned its keep —
it refused to start until the socket provider was claimed too.

── Verified against a real loopback-only server ──

Confirmed unreachable from outside, then through the proxy: index served and
rewritten, `/_bun/` chunk resolved, JSON passed through untouched, 401 anonymous,
401 with a bad token, "nothing is listening" on a dead port. Websocket: refused
without the cookie, target parsed, frames relayed in both directions.

One bug found by testing rather than reading: the upstream path was derived by
slicing a hardcoded prefix, so every asset request returned the index page. It is
found from the `/<port>` segment now.

A test asserting `http://localhost:5173` is kept verbatim is now inverted, with the
reason written beside it — that was correct when the panel only framed real
hostnames.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 74f2e59069 the tray stops filling with the agent's own commands
"So the pills don't get polluted with those calls that you're making."

First, a correction to what I assumed. The platform is not mis-detecting anything:
the SDK emits `task_started` only for real background work, and I checked — a
foreground `echo` produces no task event at all. What produces these is the HARNESS
auto-backgrounding a foreground command that runs long. Measured against the
installed SDK: a 24-second foreground Bash call emits `task_started` with
`task_type: 'local_bash'`, identical in shape to one started with
`run_in_background: true`. There is no field that separates them, and there should
not be — by then they are the same thing.

So the chips were real. They were just not anybody's business: a tray of green
ticks for greps and typechecks, sitting beside the one job that was started on
purpose.

The rule is now about ORIGIN rather than state, using the arm-and-claim that
already exists for the preview:

  running                 shown, whoever started it — it is live and it can be stopped
  finished, yours         kept (up to five), because you asked for it and the outcome is the point
  finished, the agent's   dropped the moment it ends
  pinned                  kept regardless

Running jobs stay visible deliberately, including mine. A background command of the
agent's that has gone wrong is exactly the thing worth seeing and stopping, and the
stop button already adopts anything you press it on.

Extracted as `visibleTasks`, pure and tested — six cases including the cap, the
pin override, and running-before-finished surviving the new filter.

`[open]` Origin is process state, so a reload forgets it and a previously-yours
finished chip is then treated as the agent's and dropped. Acceptable — after a
reload you are not watching that completion — and making it survive means putting
origin in the transcript, which is a wire change.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7fdb09af0a speaking mid-turn no longer declares the turn over
Reported as "the output I see with turn complete is very very misleading", and it
was: the transcript printed "Turn finished · no closing message" between a tool
call and an injected message, while the header two inches away still said Working
and a task chip still said 1 RUNNING. The UI stated the opposite of what was
happening.

`turn-rows` treats every user message as a turn boundary. That was right when the
only way to speak was to wait. Delivering a queued message INTO a running turn made
it wrong: the boundary split the live turn, the half before it therefore counted as
`complete`, and having tool calls and no answer it matched exactly the rule that
prints a silent ending. The seam meant for a rare confusing case fired on an
ordinary one, and said something false.

So a user message now carries `injected` when it was sent while a turn was already
running, and only a message that STARTS a turn is a boundary. Read from
`isGeneratingRef` at send time rather than from state — `sendPrompt` is called
from closures built a render earlier, and the question is "was a turn running when
this was sent", which is what the ref holds.

Five tests, including the contrast case: the same messages WITHOUT the flag still
produce the boundary and the ending, because a genuine second turn should end the
first. A turn that really did finish silently still says so — that seam was worth
having and is not what was broken.

Verified live on the way in: the injection reached this session mid-turn, attached
to a tool result, and changed what the turn did.

Still outstanding from the same screenshot, not touched here: foreground Bash calls
render as background tasks ("Running in the background…", and a chip in the tray).
That is a separate misreport.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0230e62a71 the platform stops explaining what Headscale is
Correcting my own reasoning from the last commit. I left "Headscale's API", "the
Headscale admin credential" and similar alone on the grounds that they name the
thing the plugin drives, so renaming them would make the sentences false. True as
far as it goes, and it misses the point: those sentences are in the PLATFORM. It
has no business knowing what Headscale is at all. Correct language in the wrong
repository is still a remnant.

Ten of them, each replaced with the platform's own vocabulary rather than the
plugin's domain:

- `crypto.ts` and `secret-store.ts` listed "the Headscale admin credential" among
  what one key used to protect. It is "the tailnet's admin credential" — the
  purpose, which is a word this repository owns.
- `catalogue.ts` and `availability.ts` explained `alsoServes` — a LIVE mechanism —
  entirely through a Headscale example that left the repository. Restated as the
  general shape, with one parenthesis saying which case produced it.
- The photos types file explained another plugin's sidecar.
- `App.tsx` cited `/headscale/:section` as the example of a route pair; that route
  does not exist. `/photos/:section` does.
- `plugins/router.ts` pointed at `useCompanionLogStream`, a hook that lives in a
  plugin now.
- `registry.ts` said in the present tense that `headscale` is `admin` — the
  permission is the plugin's and it declares its own, so a member-facing enrolment
  surface would be the PLUGIN's to add, not this file's.
- `proxy.sh` cited `headscale/schema.ts` as a style reference. That file is not in
  this repository.
- machine-setup said "Its Headscale app" — the app is the Offscale plugin.

`machine-setup/lib/tailscale.sh` keeps all ten of its mentions: it exists to
explain tailscale, headscale and offscale to somebody choosing between them, on a
core install, before any plugin exists. That is machine setup's subject, not the
plugin's domain leaking upward.

What survives elsewhere is only dated history — "was here until 2026-08-15", "It
was: music, vault, slskd, headscale, …" — plus the notes about the real
`headscale_servers` orphan and the secret-store key removed yesterday. Those record
that something called headscale used to be here, which is a different claim from
explaining what it does.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 27aa72d923 finish the offscale sweep: two real remnants and eleven stale names
Asked for a thorough check that nothing of offscale is left in the platform. The
extraction was sound — no router, no permission entry, no app-store entry, no
screen, no panel app, no env var anything reads. Two things were genuinely wrong,
and both were in setup rather than in the server.

── The secret store minted a key for a plugin ──

`officer-setup` bootstrapped two purposes: `jwt` and `headscale`. The second was a
key for a PLUGIN, under a name the rename had already replaced, on a machine where
the plugin is not installed and nothing would ever ask for it. offscale encrypts
under `offscale`, and `getKey` creates on demand — which is precisely what lets
core know nothing about plugins. Now core bootstraps `jwt` alone.

── `.env.example` documented variables for a deleted router ──

HEADSCALE_URL, HEADSCALE_API_KEY and HEADSCALE_USER were described as driving
`/api/vpn`. That router was deleted on 2026-08-14 and nothing has read any of them
since. Left as a note saying where the tailnet's credentials live now, because
somebody with an older `.env` will otherwise wonder why setting them does nothing.

── Names that outlived the thing ──

Eleven comments referred to the plugin's route, panels, console or server registry
as "headscale": three sidecar config files describing their own shape by pointing
at it, two screens citing `/headscale` as the example of a Workspace/Panel route,
the terminal's note about the Console, and the photos types. Also `catalogue.ts`,
which still claimed headscale "is CORE now", and `working-on-officer.md`, which
told the reader a core install runs six processes including `officer-headscale`.

Upstream references are deliberately untouched: "Headscale's API", "the Headscale
admin credential", "is this a Headscale server?" all name the thing the plugin
drives, and renaming those would make the sentences false.

`docs/secret-store.md` argued headscale must be core because the tailnet is the
perimeter. Marked superseded rather than deleted, with the distinction that
settles it: the perimeter is the tailnet EXISTING, which machine-setup still
arranges on a core install — not the platform shipping the screen that
administers it.

Verified by counting: live code, setup provisioning, env references, permission
entries, app-store entries, hono mounts, dock defaults, screens and panel apps all
zero. What is left is generated files (Plugins.gen, plugin-schemas.gen), the
bundled catalogue entry, test fixtures using "offscale" as an example app name,
and history.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 c0e61a4cba the trap keeps its evidence, and says where the procedure is
This bug will not be reproduced on demand. It will arrive as somebody's report,
hours later, from a browser whose console is long gone — so a `console.warn` is
seen by nobody, and "what did you see?" gets an answer built from memory and a
screenshot.

So the trap now persists. Up to five occurrences in
`localStorage['officer:editor-buffer-trap']`, each carrying the stack at the moment
of the edit, the first 200 characters that arrived, how many, which file, and when.
The question becomes "paste this key", and the answer is complete.

Recording a bug must never become one: private mode, a full quota and a disabled
storage API all throw at that write, and none of them is worth breaking an edit
over. The console line survives either way.

`docs/editor-buffer-corruption.md` is the procedure — what it looks like, the four
candidates already eliminated and why, the one command to ask a reporter for, how
to read each field, what an EMPTY key would mean (either the editor was focused,
making it a paste, or the insertion came in chunks under the threshold), and the
instruction to delete every piece of this once the cause is known. Linked from
TODO.md and from CLAUDE.md's reading list, so somebody handed a report finds it
without grepping for it.

Stated there rather than left implicit: a fix invented without knowing the cause
would hide the symptom on the one screen where it is visible while the mechanism
carried on doing whatever else it does. The corruption is never saved and reopening
the tab clears it, so waiting is cheap and a wrong fix is not.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fc8d02e8e1 set a trap for the editor buffer corruption
Not a fix — I could not find the cause by reading, and shipping a guess dressed as
one is worse than saying so.

What reading DID settle, and it removes two of the three candidates:

- The end-of-turn refresh cannot be it. `reloadFile` sets `originalContent` and
  clears `isDirty`, so no refresh can produce the dirty dot in the screenshot.
- Nothing in the app types into the page: no `execCommand('insertText')`, no
  synthetic keyboard events, no clipboard writes anywhere near the editor.

That leaves Monaco's own change event, which means the model was edited the way a
paste or a programmatic `executeEdits` edits it. Neither is identifiable from a
screenshot taken afterwards, which is why this needs to be caught in the act.

`reportSuspiciousEdit` logs any insertion over 200 characters arriving while the
editor does NOT have focus, with an Error constructed at that moment so the stack
names the caller. A person cannot type 200 characters into an editor they are not
focused on; whatever does will be in that trace.

It prevents nothing and changes no behaviour. Delete it once the cause is known.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e0d3f59b9b name the tables nothing on this machine owns
The marketplace screen now lists tables in the database that no code here claims,
with a row estimate and, where the prefix says so, which absent plugin they look
like they belong to.

This is the information that cost an evening. `bun db:push` saw tables the schema
did not declare, asked an interactive question no non-TTY caller could answer,
applied nothing and exited 0 — and the install reported success while the plugin
was unusable. The cause was two tables from before an extraction, found by reading
`\dt` by hand. Nothing in the platform would ever have mentioned them.

── What counts as an owner ──

The core schema, or a plugin DIRECTORY — not a plugin INSTALL. A plugin that is
present but uninstalled still owns its tables, because that is the promise
uninstall makes: keep every row so a reinstall puts you back where you were. So
this reports only what no code on this machine describes at all, which on a healthy
install is nothing, and the block does not render.

A plugin whose schema will not import has its prefix treated as claimed rather than
having every one of its tables reported as unowned — a broken manifest should not
read as data with no home.

── No delete button, deliberately ──

Dropping a table is not something to offer beside a list of plugins, and the right
action differs per row: `music_favorites` wants the music plugin installed,
`headscale_servers` wants dropping. Naming them is the part that was missing.

Verified by planting `headscale_servers` and `music_playlists_old` and reading them
back through the same call the route makes: the first attributed to nothing, the
second to music, which is not on this machine. Row counts come from
`pg_class.reltuples` — an exact count on a large table is not worth blocking a page
render for a number that only answers "is there anything in here".

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 c98b5643aa show what the commands are actually saying
Install, uninstall and purge narrated what the platform was doing and hid what it
was running. Every spawn captured stdout and stderr, held them, and surfaced the
last 600 characters only if the exit code was non-zero.

That is enough to explain a crash and useless for the two things people want while
watching an install: knowing a slow step is still moving, and seeing the warning a
command prints on its way to exiting 0. The second is not hypothetical — `db:push`
reported success on a machine where it created no tables. Its output was captured,
discarded because the exit code was fine, and the failure surfaced minutes later as
42P01 in a sidecar log. Whatever drizzle said about that push, nobody ever read it.

`runLogged` streams both pipes as they arrive, so they interleave the way they do
in a terminal. Following only stdout would have been silent for exactly the
commands worth watching: git writes everything to stderr, drizzle-kit writes
progress there and results to stdout.

Two pieces of noise control, because a log nobody can read is not an improvement:
`git clone` gets `--progress` instead of `--quiet` (git says nothing when it thinks
it has no terminal, and that is the step where a slow link looks like a hang) with
per-percent rewrites collapsed to the last fragment per chunk; and drizzle's
spinner, which is eight lines saying the same thing with a different braille glyph,
collapses to the first — otherwise "Changes applied" scrolls past underneath it.

Steps and output share ONE ordered list rather than two. Their order relative to
each other is the whole information: "which step was this output from" is the only
question the log exists to answer. Output renders dimmer and indented under the
step that produced it.

Verified by running a real purge and reinstall: the clone's object counts, the
barrel generation naming both plugins, drizzle's push, then "schema: applied in
2029ms (1 table verified)".

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 3c03e61c5e delete a plugin and everything it owns, and stop trusting exit codes
Two halves of the same problem: a plugin installed onto a fresh machine, reported
success at every step, mounted, started its sidecar, registered — and then failed
its first query with 42P01, because `offscale_servers` had never been created.
Nothing said so, and there was no way back to a clean machine to try again.

── The install now asks Postgres ──

`pushSchema` only checked the exit code, and `db:push` is a compound command:
generate the barrel, cd, run drizzle-kit. It can exit 0 having created nothing.
So the install now reads the plugin's schema for the tables it declares and
verifies they exist, failing the install with a message naming what is missing
instead of leaving a stack trace to appear in a sidecar log minutes later.

Tables that are NOT prefixed with the app name are reported as a warning rather
than a failure — they still get created, but `purge` will not remove them and a
reinstall would find them already there.

── `purge`, next to an uninstall that deliberately keeps everything ──

Uninstall is careful on purpose: every table and row survives so a reinstall puts
you back where you were. That is what makes it safe to try, and it left no way to
get to a CLEAN machine. A second install finds the directory (so the catalogue
hides the plugin) and the tables (so push has nothing to do, and a broken schema
stays broken).

So a different verb, a different word, its own confirmation. It reads the table
list from the schema BEFORE deleting the source, uninstalls (stopping the sidecar
— nothing may be running against tables about to vanish), drops, deletes the
directory, then regenerates the barrel unconditionally, since a barrel naming a
directory that no longer exists is what stopped a server booting yesterday.

The table list comes from the plugin's own schema, not from `like '<app>_%'` —
that query eventually drops somebody else's table, because the prefix is a
convention nothing validates and `music` is a prefix of `music-videos`. The
prefix is used as a GUARD instead: a schema module could export `users`, and
anything outside the plugin's own namespace is refused rather than dropped.

── Verified as a full loop on this machine ──

purge offscale → table dropped, directory deleted, barrel regenerated → the
marketplace offers it again → install → cloned, ssh checked, "schema: applied in
2072ms (1 table verified)", dock pinned, mounted, sidecar started.

I left offscale INSTALLED here rather than restoring the half-state it was in
(no install row, table present, sidecar running).

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8ad5a5563e clicking a plugin works again, and offscale gets its icon
Two regressions and one long-standing hole, all found by actually opening the page.

── Clicking a row did nothing. That one is mine ──

Rows link to `?selected=<app>`, and they still pointed at `/plugins`. My redirect
was `<Navigate to="/marketplace" replace />`, which DROPS the query string — so a
click went to `/plugins?selected=music`, redirected to a bare `/marketplace`, and
the detail pane sat on "Select a plugin." Both halves worked; the redirect threw
away what the link had just set.

Rows now point at `/marketplace` directly. The redirect also preserves `search`,
because old bookmarks carry the same param and losing it is exactly what made this
wrong the first time.

── Offscale's icon 404'd since it shipped one ──

Assets were published to `public/plugins/<app>/` at INSTALL and nowhere else.
Offscale was installed before it had an `assets/icon.png`, so the directory never
existed and the tile drew a 404 permanently — nothing short of uninstalling and
reinstalling would have fixed it. "Reinstall the plugin to see its new icon" is
the same bad answer as "restart the server to see it", which the route right next
to this already refuses to accept.

Publishing now happens on every mount. It is a copy of files that still exist in
the plugin's own source, so re-running it is free and cannot lose anything — the
property that already makes unpublish the one thing uninstall may delete. A
failure is logged, never thrown: an icon is not worth refusing to mount over.

Published offscale's by hand too, so the fix is visible without waiting for a
restart. Verified 200 through the running server for both plugins.

── The third report was not a bug ──

"No connection to the marketplace" is the catalogue working correctly: all three
plugins are already on disk here, and `router.ts` drops catalogue entries whose
plugin is installed, because offering to install something installed is worse than
showing nothing. With nothing left to offer, a working store and a broken one look
identical on that screen. Nothing in the logs, which is what a reachable store
looks like — the client only speaks when it cannot reach one.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 ba20155a09 the store's README shows in the platform, not just on the website
A plugin's page in the Marketplace screen now renders the README the marketplace
holds — the same text the public site shows, in the pane where somebody actually
decides whether to install it.

Fetched by the SERVER and proxied, though CORS would have allowed the browser to
ask directly. An Officer client is routinely somewhere its server is not: a phone
on the tailnet, a laptop with the store blocked. The server already had to reach
the marketplace for the catalogue, so routing through it means the README appears
in exactly the cases the plugin list did — rather than in a strictly smaller set,

Separate request from the list, because the list endpoint deliberately carries no
READMEs: three of them is ~38KB of markdown on the request that draws the tiles.
This one fires when a plugin is opened.

Absence renders nothing at all — no error, no empty state. A plugin without a
README is normal and a store that is down must not put a failure message on a page
whose job is installing things.

Under `/plugins` so the existing permission covers it: reading the store and
installing from it are the same privilege, and a second key would be a second
thing to grant for no separate decision.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 08d725bfb3 the background job button wears the amber a running job wears
Not white. `toneText.warning` — hsl(43 96% 56%), the same amber a running task
chip shows two rows up, so the control and the thing it produces read as one
feature rather than two.

Taken from `toneText` rather than typed as `text-warning`, so it cannot drift
from the chips it is matching. The name is misleading in this one place: nothing
here is a warning, it is just where that colour lives in the palette.

Dialog title icon follows, same reason as the glyph did.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a78541a341 circle-play for the background job button, at full strength
White rather than muted, 18px rather than 16. Its neighbours on that row are
pickers — they report what is already selected — and this is the only control
there that does something, so it should not be wearing the same recessive grey
as a label.

The glyph was a radio tower, chosen because a play button implies one-shot. That
reasoning was too clever: most of what gets started here is a long-running
process, and a watcher is still something you press start on. Recognisable beats
precise at this size.

The dialog's own title icon changes with it. A button and the thing it opens
wearing different glyphs is a small lie about them being the same feature.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f580d845ac running jobs sit ahead of finished ones in the tray
The tray was newest-first, full stop. So: ask for a long-lived job, talk for a
while, and every short-lived job an agent starts along the way pushes it one
place further right — until the one thing still running is the one thing off the
end of a strip that scrolls.

Exactly backwards. What falls off the end should be what you are not watching.

A finished chip is a receipt: it exists so a notification that landed while you
were reading something else is still there when you look up. A running chip is a
live thing you may need to open or stop. Ordering them together by age treats
those as the same kind of object, and the strip's overflow turns that into the
receipts slowly evicting the job.

So `orderTasks`: running first, newest-first preserved within each group. Two
passes rather than a comparator, so it does not lean on sort stability and reads
as the partition it is.

Applied after the FINISHED_KEPT cap, not before. The cap asks which finished
chips are still worth keeping, which is a question about age; where they then sit
is a different question. Pinned chips inherit the same order, so a pinned running
job leads its row too.

Cosmetic, as asked — no behaviour changes, nothing new is hidden or dropped.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2b70a5700e the code editor stops underlining correct code
Not spell check — Monaco's own TypeScript worker, misconfigured in two
independent ways. Both are visible in `monaco.contribution.js:272`, where the
defaults are `{ allowNonTsExtensions: true, target: Latest }` and
`{ noSemanticValidation: false }`.

── 1. It was reading JSX as TypeScript ──

`tsWorker.js:93` decides a file's script kind from the SUFFIX of its model URI:
`ts`/`tsx`/`js`/`jsx`, and otherwise falls back to TS. `<Editor>` was given no
`path`, so its model was `inmemory://model/1` — no dot, no suffix, TS. JSX is
illegal in a `.ts` file, so every tag in the file was a syntax error. That is
the wall-to-wall squiggling in the screenshot.

Passing the real path gives the model a `.tsx` URI. `jsx: ReactJSX` is set too;
both are needed, since the extension alone still errors without the option.

── 2. It was type-checking against a file system it cannot see ──

Semantic validation is now off, and this is the part worth stating plainly.
Monaco runs in the browser; the files are on the server behind the file API.
There is no `node_modules` to resolve `react` from, no `tsconfig.json` to read
paths out of, no way to follow a relative import. So every import resolves to
nothing — which is where "Cannot find module './logo.svg'" came from. Not a
mistake in the file: a checker with no file system.

Wrong errors are worse than none. They teach you to ignore the colour, and then
the one real problem underlined the same way goes unread. Monaco's own authors
already made this call for JavaScript — `javascriptDefaults` ships with
`noSemanticValidation: true`. This extends it to TypeScript for the same reason.

Syntactic validation stays ON: an unclosed brace needs only the buffer in front
of it, and with the extension finally right it is answered correctly.

Real semantic checking would mean shipping the project's dependency types into
the browser — a language-server-over-websocket feature, not a config change.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e2f7a3f091 the preview reloads for jobs you started, not jobs the agent started
Yesterday's change bumped `background-job:changed` on every `task:started`. That
was wrong in a way the commit message admitted and then waved through: agents
start background jobs constantly while working — a test run, a build, a long
grep — so the reload trigger had moved from "every edit" to "every incidental
job" without getting meaningfully rarer. Same churn, new cause.

The jobs worth reacting to are the ones started from the background-job dialog,
because that is where somebody says "run the dev server".

── Arm and claim, not an id ──

The dialog cannot name the task it is about to create: it sends a prompt, the
agent works out the command, and the harness assigns the id. Nothing links the
two but sequence. So the dialog ARMS, the next `task:started` claims the arm and
records its id, and from then on completions are matched by id — however long
the job runs.

One arm, one claim: a second job in the same turn is not ours. The arm expires
after 30 minutes, because the preamble tells the agent to ask before arming
anything ambiguous, so a legitimate claim can be minutes late — but an abandoned
conversation would otherwise leave the arm sitting there to be taken by whatever
an agent started next.

A job stopped by hand is adopted regardless of who started it. That is the one
place the rule bends, and it bends towards the user having clicked something.

Module state rather than a channel: it is read inside the websocket handler to
decide whether to bump, and nothing renders from it. `createBackgroundJobOrigin`
is exported so tests get a fresh instance instead of a reset that production
code could also call.

Still over-triggers within that set — any dialog-started job reloads every
preview. Nothing observable links a preview's URL to a job, since the parent
cannot see inside a cross-origin iframe.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4ced2983a6 the preview reloads when a job restarts, not when a file changes
Restarting the dev server leaves the iframe holding a dead HMR socket. The page
keeps rendering and looks completely alive — it has simply stopped receiving
updates. So the agent edits a file, nothing moves, and there is no way to tell
whether the edit failed or the connection did. Reported after exactly that
sequence: stop, start, ask for a change, watch nothing happen.

A stale preview that is indistinguishable from a working one is worse than an
obviously broken one, because you debug the wrong thing.

── Which signal, and why not the obvious one ──

`preview:refresh` already exists and is bumped on every turn that touched a file.
Subscribing to it would fix this and ruin the feature: a reload throws away scroll
position, form state, and whatever route you had navigated to inside the app —
on every edit. HMR exists precisely so that does not happen.

So a new channel, bumped on `task:started` and on task completion. A job coming up
may be a dev server coming back; a job going down may be it going away. Both are
moments a preview pointed at it is now lying. Neither fires on an edit — this is a
few times a session, not once a keystroke.

Stated rather than hidden: it OVER-triggers. Any job starting reloads any preview,
not only the one serving it. That costs one reload on an unrelated watcher, which
is the cheaper of the two errors.

The parent process cannot see inside a cross-origin iframe, so there is no way to
ask whether its socket is alive. The job lifecycle is the closest observable
proxy, and it is exact for the case that prompted this.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 6b21d4b8bd duration is one checkbox, because two of the three options were the same thing
"This session" meant nothing. The backend deliberately holds the agent process
alive while a background job is running, so closing the browser does not end one —
"this session" and "until stopped" were one behaviour wearing two labels, and
offering both implied a difference that does not exist.

So there is one real choice, and it is a yes/no: bound it by time, or run until
stopped.

  [ ] Stop after [60] minutes

Unchecked is the default and the common case. Checked exits when the time is up
whether or not it fired, which is the only thing a clock can usefully mean here.

This also removes a note that had become false. The dialog used to say "all of
these end if the session does" — written from the process tree, where the job is a
descendant of the agent process. True as far as it went, and wrong in practice
because of the keep-alive. It now says what each choice actually does instead of
what the ancestry suggests.

Still true, and unstated because it belongs somewhere else: `pm2 restart
officer-claude-code` ends every running job. That is a deploy-time fact, not
something to put in a composer.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 1a9b162615 a stopped job stays stopped, and Stop is a real button when expanded
Two things from stopping one by hand.

── It restarted itself ──

Pressing stop produced the exit notification, and the agent read that as a crash:
it brought the server back up, then wrote three paragraphs theorising that
"something outside this conversation sent that SIGTERM" and counting it as the
third external touch on the repo today.

It was not wrong about the signal. It could not have been right about the cause,
because the stop button did not exist when the preamble was written, and the
preamble said only "report" — leaving what to do with an exit entirely open.

So it now says: on exit, one line, and STOP. Do not restart. Do not diagnose. Do
not theorise about what else on the machine might have touched it. A job I stopped
that comes back on its own is the opposite of a stop button — and an exit is at
least as likely to be me as a failure now that pressing a button is how you end
one.

Deliberately not written as "ignore exit code 143": the phrasing is about intent,
not signal numbers, so it holds whether the job dies by SIGTERM, SIGKILL or its
own hand.

── Stop, labelled, in the expanded panel ──

The chip keeps its icon; the panel gets a bordered button that says "Stop". The
panel is where you go to decide whether something should keep running, and the
control that ends it should not be a glyph you have to hover to identify. Both
appear only while the task is running.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 048e718b21 a stop button on running background jobs
Killing a job meant asking the agent in words — a whole turn to say "please stop
that", and only possible while the agent is responsive. Now it is a button on the
chip.

── Finding the process ──

The platform does not own these processes. Claude Code starts them and nothing
records a pid. What it has is the file the job streams into, and the job is still
holding that file open — so `fuser` gives the pid, and the file is resolved
through the SAME scoped lookup the read path already uses: the id is validated
against TASK_ID_RE, then matched only under this caller's own directories. An id
that resolves to nothing kills nothing.

Verified end to end rather than reasoned about: a stand-in job holding its output
file open, `fuser` finding it, `{"stopped":true}`, process gone.

SIGTERM, not SIGKILL — a dev server with children should get the chance to take
them down with it. SIGKILL orphans them and leaves the port bound, which is worse
than a stop that takes a second.

── Two things it deliberately does not do ──

It does not dismiss the chip or write a `stopped` status locally. The real end
arrives the way every other end does — the harness sees the exit and the
transcript gets the row — so faking it would be a guess that usually agrees with
reality and sometimes does not. A stop that fails leaves the chip running, which
is the truth.

It does not offer to stop a SUBAGENT. Those write a `.jsonl` transcript rather
than holding a log open, so there is no fd to trace; it says so instead of
pretending.

`Square`, not `X`. X on the same chip means "close this", and confusing "hide the
chip" with "kill the process" is the one mistake worth designing out — which is
why stop appears only on running tasks and dismiss only on finished ones.
