pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 3512b06d5e background jobs: start silently, say one line
Asking for `bun dev` produced a preface ("Starting it exactly as specified…"), the
call, a read-back of the output to confirm, a paragraph explaining what resolved
to what, and then two unsolicited notes. Five kinds of output for a request whose
whole appeal is that there is nothing to discuss.

The preamble already said "tell me in one line" and was talked past, because it
described the ending without forbidding the rest. Now it names each thing:

  - nothing before starting — no preface, no restating the ask, no announcing
    that the instructions are about to be followed
  - one line after: what is running, its id, how to stop it. Not notes, not
    observations, not what was chosen or why, not anything noticed in passing
  - a question is the ONLY thing allowed to come first

And it no longer reads the output back to check the job started. That was work
the harness already does: if it fails, the exit arrives on its own — which is the
entire reason for using the tracked mechanism. Verifying by hand adds noise to
the one case where nothing is wrong, and adds nothing to the case where something
is.

Silence stays conditional, not absolute: an unclear condition must still be
settled in conversation before anything is armed.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f0c93fa716 a background-job button in the chat composer
A `Radio` button between the harness and model selectors opens a small composer:
you write one sentence, the agent receives it under a preamble of mechanics that
never appears in your bubble.

── Four orthogonal choices, not modes ──

  who writes the command   a literal one, or an intent the agent works out
  is there a condition     always PROSE — a condition worth watching is a sentence
                           and worth arguing about before it arms, not a predicate
                           typed into a box
  does firing end it       exit-is-the-notification, or act-and-keep-going
  how long                 this session / N minutes / until stopped

Ticking the watcher forces prompt mode rather than allowing a combination that is
then rejected on submit.

── The rule that inverts, which is why the checkbox exists ──

"Stay silent while waiting" is right when output is DEFERRED to exit — it all
lands in context at once. For a watcher that never exits, output streams to the
pinned pane and never reaches context, so a line per event is the point rather
than a cost. The preamble says the opposite thing in each case; with one rule it
would have suppressed the only signal a persistent watcher gives.

── Hidden without hacks ──

`sendWithHiddenPrefix` reuses the display-text argument `sendPrompt` already
takes: the agent gets preamble + text, the transcript shows text. A NEW
`hiddenPrefix` field rather than the existing per-prompt `prefix`, which carries
attachment references — those are part of what you said and belong in the bubble.

── What it says out loud ──

"If what I asked for is not completely clear, ASK ME FIRST." A wrong condition
fails silently — never fires, or fires constantly — and is discovered days later.
Arming it late costs a minute.

And the duration note does not promise what it cannot keep. Traced the process
tree: the job is a great-grandchild of the claude process, so `pm2 restart
officer-claude-code` kills every watcher on the box. "Until stopped" therefore
reads "all of these end if the session does" rather than "forever". A job that
must outlive deploys belongs under PM2, not under a chat.

cwd comes from the panel, so nothing has to be typed — the dashboard rooting from
earlier today.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 5c40d4423d app preview: a panel that points an iframe at a running app
A dashboard can now hold chat, the code editor, the file browser and the app
itself — the last piece of working on a project without leaving Officer.

── Why this is ~200 lines and not 560 ──

The version deleted on 2026-07-31 spawned `bun dev` in a project directory, found
a free port and proxied it under `/api/dev-server-proxy/<id>/`. That prefix is what
cost the money: HTML, JS and CSS rewritten; a script injected into the page to
monkey-patch fetch/XHR/WebSocket so runtime URLs got the prefix too; a Referer
fallback for chunks that resolved at the wrong depth; a websocket bridge for HMR.
All of it faking an origin.

On a machine with a proxy in front — nginx on edge.pertento.ai, wildcard
subdomains — the app is ALREADY served at the root of its own origin, and the
browser is already on the tailnet. So there is nothing to fake and no server side
at all: no route, no socket, and therefore no permission-registry entry.

The old code is not obsolete and is not being thrown away. An install with no
proxy in front still has an app on localhost that the browser cannot reach, and
that is exactly what it solves. It is at `188b45c1^`; the note is in TODO.md.

── What it does ──

Holds a URL per panel, renders it, reloads it, opens it in a real tab. The URL
lives in dashboard state so it survives a reload, and is shared LIVE between header
and body — the header writes and the body reads, so claim-once would mean typing a
URL changed the header and nothing else. The reload counter is deliberately not
persisted: it is a signal.

Reload remounts the iframe by key rather than calling `contentWindow.location
.reload()`, which throws cross-origin. Replacing the element re-requests the URL,
which is the same thing from the outside and the only move the parent is allowed.

`allow-same-origin` is set and has to be: without it the framed app gets an opaque
origin and no localStorage, and it authenticates with a JWT it keeps there.

`normalizeUrl` accepts a bare host as https and refuses javascript:, data: and
blob: — an iframe src with `javascript:` executes in the PARENT's context. The
owner typing in their own panel is not an attacker; it costs one line and removes
the category. 5 tests.

── Two iframe facts worth knowing before testing ──

Storage is PARTITIONED by top-level site, so the login inside the panel is separate
from the login in a tab: expect to sign in once, in the panel.

A page can refuse to be framed (X-Frame-Options, CSP frame-ancestors) and renders
blank with only a console error. If that happens it is nginx's config, not this
code — which is why "open in a new tab" is in the header rather than left to
copying the URL out.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 20aa0cc880 a deleted file stays open, says so, and can be saved back
Keeping the tab when an agent deletes the file was deliberate — closing it would
let an `rm -rf` of a build directory take unsaved work with it — but it was only
half the idea, and the missing half made it worse than useless:

  the tab looked identical to a live file, and
  you could not SAVE it, because the editor thought nothing had changed

So the buffer was the only copy left, and the one action that would rescue it was
locked until you typed a throwaway character to force the dirty flag. Reported
from a real session.

VS Code's answer, and the right one: a file that has left the disk is DIRTY,
because the buffer now differs from what is there (nothing).

  markMissing   missing: true + isDirty: true — save works immediately
  the tab       name struck through, amber icon instead of the dirty dot
  markSaved     clears `missing`, because saving PUT IT BACK — leaving the warning
                up would make the fix look like a failure
  reloadFile    clears it too, for a file that reappears from elsewhere

That makes "save recreates the file" an informed recovery rather than the accident
it was: the tab says the file is gone before you press it.

Not a bug, and checked rather than assumed: the report that a tab showed "my
previous content on top of the agent's" was the file genuinely containing both.
On disk it reads `- Sidecasadasrs assumed up` — `Sidecars` with `asadas` typed
into the middle of it. The buffer had been saved over the deleted file, the agent
then edited that file, and the editor was showing the truth.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f534b818b9 resuming a conversation needs its transcript, not just its id
Switching to an existing chat showed the right title and an empty pane. The
session was correct; none of what was said in it was there.

Passing the id as `initialSessionId` seeds the socket's resume handshake, so the
AGENT continues the right conversation — but nothing ever fetches the messages, so
the UI has none to draw. The two halves disagreed silently: send a turn and it
would have carried on correctly above a history you could not see.

The /chat screen has always done it properly, and this now does the same:
`resumeSessionId` + `initialMessages` + `paginate`, from
`GET /chat/sessions/:id?limit=20`. Only the tail is loaded — transcripts get very
long — and `total`/`offset` tell the chat where that window sits so scrolling up
pages the rest in.

── Fetched BEFORE the chat mounts, not after ──

`useChat` seeds its state from the options given on its first render, so loading
afterwards is too late: the messages would arrive at a hook that has already
decided it has none. The panel therefore holds off rendering while a transcript is
in flight, which also avoids showing an empty conversation for a moment and then
replacing it — that reads as history being lost and then found.

A stale id (transcript deleted or pruned) opens a NEW conversation rather than an
empty pane, because an empty pane is indistinguishable from a conversation whose
history vanished.

This is the same class as the cwd bug an hour ago: the id was right, the wiring
was right, and the thing that makes it visible was never asked for.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 5998492dcd a chat panel opens on the last conversation, not a blank one
A panel that has never chosen now continues the newest conversation in its
directory. Opening a dashboard onto a folder that already has history and starting
a blank chat is the wrong default — the history is why you are there. It is also
the case that prompted this: the conversation existed before the panel did.

── Three states, because two collapse wrongly ──

  undefined  never chosen        -> the newest conversation in this directory
  null       "New chat" pressed  -> a fresh one
  string     that conversation

`undefined` and `null` were the same value until now. Left that way, pressing New
chat would set null, the default would read it as "nothing chosen", and the panel
would snap straight back to the newest conversation — the button would look
broken.

── Two races, both closed ──

The panel does not mount until the session list has answered. Otherwise it starts
a NEW conversation, the list arrives, the default applies, and the chat remounts
onto something else — discarding anything typed or sent in the gap.

And the id recorded on mount is only ever a REAL one. `chat.sessionId` is null for
a moment while a resumed session connects, and writing that null would turn "never
chosen" into "asked for a new chat", so the NEXT reload would open blank —
a bug that only appears one reload later, which is the kind that gets blamed on
something else. Asking for a new conversation is something the header says
explicitly; this effect only reports what the harness decided.

Once the default is applied the harness reports its id and it is recorded, so it
stops being derived and becomes this panel's choice — "latest" the first time,
"last used" thereafter.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8de6088546 the session list was asking for a directory that does not exist
Your conversation was there the whole time. The dropdown was empty because I sent
the wrong kind of path.

  what the header sent   -Tests-platform                 no such directory
  what is on disk        -home-pastilhas-Tests-platform  1 transcript

Two conventions live next to each other and I used the wrong one. The file
endpoints take a HOME-RELATIVE path (`/Tests/platform`) — that is what `cwdToPath`
produces and what the file browser and editor pass. `/chat/sessions` takes the
ABSOLUTE one, because Claude's folder name is
`cwd.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g, '-')` applied to the directory a turn actually ran
in, and a turn runs in a real directory.

`cwdOf` uses the query value verbatim (`query('cwd')?.trim() || home`), so nothing
rejected the relative form — it just resolved to a slug for a directory that has
never existed, and answered an empty list rather than an error. The failure had no
symptom beyond "no conversations", which is also what a genuinely empty directory
looks like.

Joined against `useChatPwds().defaultCwd` — the caller's home as the SERVER sees
it, and the same value `cwdOf` falls back to — rather than guessing at where home
is a second time.

Verified end to end: `~/Tests/platform` now resolves to
`/home/pastilhas/Tests/platform`, whose slug is `-home-pastilhas-Tests-platform`,
which is a directory that exists and holds the transcript.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 465435ccf1 a chat panel picks from the conversations in its dashboard's directory
A dashboard rooted in ~/Tests/platform now has a session picker in its chat
panel's header: every conversation started in that directory, newest first, plus
New chat, rename and delete.

── Almost all of this already existed ──

`GET /chat/sessions?cwd=` returns conversations for a working directory, merged
across Claude and OpenCode. It is not a registry Officer maintains: Claude writes
每 transcript to `~/.claude/projects/<cwd-slug>/`, so "the conversations belonging
to this dashboard" is how they already sit on disk — the same ones the terminal
`claude` sees. `useClaudeSessions` already wrapped list, rename and delete for the
/chat screen. The panel header is new; nothing under it is.

── The one design correction ──

Which session a panel is on is NOT `usePanelMemory`. That hook claims its saved
value once and then ignores the bag, because the editor and file browser are the
only writers of their own state and hearing it echo back would tell them to reopen
what they just closed.

Here the header writes and the body reads — two components with no props between
them — so the value has to stay LIVE. Claim-once would have meant picking a
session changed the label and nothing else. It is the same dashboard-state bag,
read live, so it still survives a reload.

Switching remounts the chat on its key, which is what the existing comment calls
"the honest way to say this is now a different conversation": `useChat` seeds from
the first `initialSessionId` it sees and the resume handshake sends whatever is in
that state on connect.

A NEW chat is `null` until the harness names it — only the harness can — and the
id is recorded on arrival, so "new chat, say something, reload" returns to that
conversation rather than a third one.

Deleting the conversation on screen points the panel at a new one rather than at a
transcript that no longer exists.

── Left alone, and one thing to know ──

`agent_panels` is untouched: a named agent still wins the session choice outright,
since it is one conversation forever by definition. The picker is for the ordinary
case.

The email screen mounts ChatPanelWrapper too, so its chat now also remembers its
session instead of starting fresh each visit. That is a behaviour change to a
screen this work was not aimed at — better in my view, but say if not, and it
scopes to dashboards in one line.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a871c055bf fix: one empty write and the editor could never save its tabs again
Reported not working, and the database said exactly why:

  {"editor":{"p-1786832482923-77":{"open":[],"active":null}}}

The write worked. It wrote EMPTY, on the first mount before any file was open,
and from then on the panel was locked:

  - an empty saved value is truthy
  - the restore effect bailed on `open.length === 0` WITHOUT marking itself done
  - the write guard was `if (restored && !didRestore.current) return`

so every later save was blocked by a restore that had already decided not to run.
Self-inflicted, and the guard was mine from two commits ago.

Underneath it was a second ordering bug that would have bitten even with the first
fixed: the restore is ASYNC — it reads each file — while the write effect runs on
the same mount, sees an empty `files`, and persists over the list it is in the
middle of reopening. Marking the restore done synchronously would just have moved
the failure.

Both are now one flag. `restoreDone` is state, set when the restore COMPLETES —
including when it completes by having nothing to do — and the write waits on it.
Nothing is persisted until the restore is genuinely finished.

Cleared the poisoned `editor` bag from the live row so the next test starts clean
rather than against state the old code had already wedged.

Worth naming the pattern: the guard conflated "there is saved state" with "a
restore is pending". Those differ exactly when the saved state is empty, which is
the state every panel starts in — so the bug was guaranteed rather than unlucky.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 74495c25ab a file browser panel reopens where you left it
Navigate into a subfolder of a dashboard's directory, refresh, and you were back
at the top. The /files screen keeps its folder in the URL and never had this; a
panel had nowhere to put it.

── Made shared, because chat is next ──

The editor's tab memory from the last commit was one panel's version of a pattern
the terminal had already invented. Rather than write a third, `usePanelMemory` now
holds the mechanics — claim once, key per panel, drop on real close — and each
panel supplies only a payload. The editor moved onto it and lost 50 lines; the
file browser stores `{ path }`; chat will store whatever chat needs.

Restoring is SYNCHRONOUS, in the initial state rather than an effect, and can be:
`WorkspaceView` renders nothing until dashboard state has loaded, so the
remembered folder is already there on the first render. An effect would list the
base folder first and visibly jump to the right one.

── Two ways it could strand you, both closed ──

A remembered folder OUTSIDE the panel's base is discarded on read. A dashboard
scoped to ~/Tests must not reopen at ~/other because it was rescoped or the folder
moved. The existing guard catches that after the fact; this stops it being
requested.

A remembered folder that no longer EXISTS was the new failure this feature
introduced — the listing throws, a toast appears, and every reload lands in the
same dead folder, because that is what was remembered. The first listing now falls
back to the base and rewrites the memory. Deliberately first-listing-only: later
in a session a failure is far more likely transient, and bouncing someone out of a
deep folder over one bad response is worse than the error they can already read.

`files` registered in PANEL_STATE_PREFIXES, without which the PATCH is a 400.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 95b83fb29b a code editor panel remembers its tabs across a reload
Refreshing the page emptied it. You came back to "Open a file from the explorer to
start editing" with no trace of what you had been doing — two tabs open, one of
them the notes you were writing in.

The terminal solved this shape years ago: a `panelId -> sessionId` map kept in
dashboard state, keyed `ws-{prefix}-{dashboardId}`. This is that map with a
different payload, deliberately the same shape so there is one pattern rather than
two to compare. `editor` is registered in PANEL_STATE_PREFIXES — an unmatched key
is a 400, not a silent 200, which is the branch that exists precisely so a new
prefix cannot vanish quietly.

── Paths, not contents ──

The disk is the truth. Restoring a remembered BODY would show a version that may
be hours stale, or resurrect a file something has since deleted. Each path is read
fresh on restore, in the order you left them, and one that no longer reads is
dropped rather than opened as an empty buffer named after a missing file.

The cost, stated rather than hidden: unsaved edits still do not survive a reload.
They did not before either — the whole tab went. Keeping them means persisting
buffers, which has its own hard question (the disk AND the buffer have both
changed — now what?) and is not smuggled in here.

── The two ways this goes wrong, both guarded ──

Reading the saved set more than once would fight the user: every tab they open
writes into that same bag, so a later read arrives as an update telling them to
reopen what they just closed. It is claimed once, on the first render that has it.

Writing before restoring would persist an empty list over the state it is about to
read — first render, no tabs yet. The write is guarded on the restore having run.

Also: a panel closed for good drops its entry, via `usePanelClose`, which fires on
a real close and not on a drag, a swap or a mobile panel switch.

Per PANEL, not per dashboard, so two editors side by side keep separate strips.
Not wired on the /code-editor screen: `?file=` already survives a reload there.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 dc3841a877 the code editor refreshes itself, and Cmd+S works
The file browser has updated itself at the end of an agent turn for a long time,
because it listens to `files:refresh-signal`. The editor did not, and sat showing
whatever it read when you opened it.

Now it does, plus a button in the Explorer header for a change made somewhere the
signal does not reach — a task, a terminal, another machine. Two triggers, one
behaviour:

  the tree      re-lists, including every EXPANDED folder. A collapsed one has
                nothing on screen to be stale, and re-listing all of them on every
                turn is a burst of requests with nothing to show for it.
  open files    re-read, and only those with no unsaved edits.

── What a refresh must never do ──

Overwrite unsaved work. A dirty tab is skipped entirely: it keeps its edits and
its dot, and does not participate. "Reload everything" is the obvious
implementation and it would silently destroy the thing you were in the middle of.

A DELETED file keeps its tab too, rather than closing underneath you — content
intact, and saving writes it back. An agent doing `rm -rf` on a build directory
must not take your unsaved notes with it.

Content arrives through `executeEdits` with a full-range replace (checked in
@monaco-editor/react rather than assumed), so a refresh keeps your cursor and your
undo history. `setValue` would have reset both.

── The bug that made all of that pointless ──

Cmd+S did nothing. Monaco keeps the callback it was handed at mount, and `<Editor>`
only remounts when the file PATH changes — so the closure was built on the render
where the file was OPENED, with `isDirty: false`, and `handleSave` returns early on
a clean file. Open, type, save: no toast, no error, dirty dot stays. It reads
through a ref now.

That one matters here specifically: a file you cannot save stays dirty forever, and
a dirty file is skipped by every refresh. The feature above would have appeared to
work and then quietly stopped for the file you were actually editing.

Inferred from the code, not observed — worth confirming by hand.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a7046704d5 a code editor panel opens at its dashboard's folder
A dashboard scoped to ~/Tests/platform showed exactly that in the editor's header,
above an explorer listing the HOME directory. The two halves of one panel
disagreed because only one of them asked: `CodeEditorHeader` reads `cwd` from the
workspace, and `CodeEditorPanelWrapper` — three lines — never touched it.

It now passes `cwdToPath(cwd)` as `initialPath`, which is what `FileTree` lists
from. Still no `urlState`: a dashboard can hold two editors and one `?file=` would
drive both. That reasoning, and the shape of the fix, come from
FileBrowserPanelWrapper, which had it right already — which is why the file
browser was correct in the same dashboard.

── One conversion instead of three ──

`cwd` → path existed twice, spelled differently, and the two disagreed:

  cwd.slice(1)               ''  -> ''      '/abs' -> 'abs'     both wrong
  cwd.replace(/^~\//, '/')   ''  -> '/'     '/abs' -> '/abs'    both right

An empty cwd gave the file endpoints an empty string, which lists nothing rather
than failing — the quiet kind of wrong. Writing a THIRD copy for the editor is
what prompted collapsing them: `cwdToPath` now lives beside `useWorkspace`, with 6
tests including the tilde-inside-a-name case that a careless regex would rewrite.

Swept the rest rather than assuming this was the only one: all three panel
wrappers now read cwd, and the terminal already did.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7359af2f55 the breadcrumb closes the pane too
Half a fix shipped last commit. Navigating by double-clicking a folder row closed
the open pane; navigating by clicking a BREADCRUMB did not — so the browser moved
and the viewer stayed, showing a file from a folder you had left. It failed to
load, because the name is now resolved against the folder in the path and the file
was not in this one.

The two do not share a code path. A row goes through `setCurrentPath`, which I
stripped. A crumb is a `<Link to={hrefForPath(...)}>` and never calls it — and
`hrefForPath` still carried `location.search` verbatim. Same navigation, two
outcomes, decided by which control you used.

Both strip now. Audited every site that builds a folder URL:

  setCurrentPath   strips — rows, search results, Show location
  hrefForPath      strips — breadcrumb links
  legacy redirect  KEEPS, deliberately: `?path=X&view=Y` is one old link meaning
                   "this folder, with that file open", and honouring it is the
                   whole point of the redirect
  widget openFile  sets its own view; the search it discards belongs to the screen
                   it is navigating away from

This is the third bug in a row from the same root — the query string having more
than one writer. The list of overlay params has an owner as of the last commit;
the ACTS that clear it still do not, which is why a `<Link>` could quietly opt out
of a rule the function next to it enforced.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0dc88b5119 leaving a folder closes what was open in it
A pane shows a file from the folder you were in. Walking into another folder kept
it open, so the listing said one place and the pane said another — and the URL
carried a `?view=` that no longer belonged to its own pathname.

Navigating now drops the overlay params. Only those: anything else in the query is
left alone, because `useGlobalQueryString` puts real state there and a wholesale
reset takes it with it.

── The actual fix is that the list has an owner now ──

Which params belong to the overlay was a private array inside
`useFileViewerPanels`, so every other site that touched the query worked from
memory. That is exactly how `onCloseViewer` came to wipe the folder along with the
pane, and it is the thing TODO.md flagged as the reason a fifth handler would get
it wrong the same way.

`VIEWER_PARAMS` and `withoutViewerParams` now live in `files-route.ts` — a leaf
with no imports, so the hook and the browser can both depend on it without
depending on each other. Three readers, one list.

Writing this caught a fourth site immediately: `setViewerParams` had been
REPLACING the whole search since the folder left the query string, so opening a
file would have discarded global UI state. It clears the overlay and keeps the
rest, like everything else now does.

3 more tests, including that every key is covered rather than the obvious two.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7e31564c15 ?view= survives a page load — it never has
Opening or refreshing a URL with `?view=` gave you a bare file browser and a URL
that had quietly rewritten itself to drop the param. Reported as "has never
worked", and it never had.

`useFileViewerPanels` deleted EVERY ephemeral key in a mount effect, filed under
"clear stale ephemeral params". So the page came up, the effect stripped `view`,
and the pane never opened. It arrived incidentally in 9acef6cf (2026-02-23) with
the chat-about-a-file work rather than as a decision about deep links, which is
why nothing recorded the cost.

Checked what actually needs clearing before removing it, rather than assuming
nothing did:

  chatContext   fills the chat box through `defaultInput` and does NOT auto-send
                (`autoSend` defaults false) — restoring it costs a pre-filled
                input and no message
  view          a file that has since gone shows the viewer's error, which as of
                today says what happened and offers a download
  ephemeral(2)  same

  ephemeral2Auto  STARTS AUDIO PLAYING. Reloading a page should not make sound
                  come out of the machine. This one is still cleared, and is now
                  the only reason the effect exists.

Also `replace`, so the cleanup is not a back-button step.

An old-style link carrying both `?path=` and `?view=` still works: the legacy
redirect rebuilds the pathname and keeps the rest of the query, so `view` rides
through and is then read relative to the folder it just landed in.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 98ba604aaf ?view= is a name, not a second copy of the path
before  /files/archive/Tests/platform/docs?view=%2Farchive%2FTests%2Fplatform%2Fdocs%2Fagent-coordination.md
  after   /files/archive/Tests/platform/docs?view=agent-coordination.md

The pathname already says which folder you are in. Repeating it in the query said
the same thing twice, and the encoded copy was the unreadable half.

── Absolute is still read, just never written ──

`resolveInFolder` takes either form. That is not politeness, it covers three real
cases: links made before this change, `?ephemeral=` pointing at a generated file
that may not live beside the original, and anything genuinely outside the folder
being browsed.

`relativeToFolder` only shortens a DIRECT child. Something nested deeper stays
absolute rather than becoming `sub/b.md`, because a relative value containing a
slash reads like a path when it is meant to be a name, and there is nothing to
gain from the ambiguity. A near-miss is handled too — /docs2 is not under /docs.

── The one that would have broken ──

The widget's Recent and Pinned lists opened `/files?view=<absolute>` and let the
screen work it out. With the folder in the pathname that now means "open this file
while sitting in home", which is not where the file is. It navigates to the file's
folder and names it from there.

All three providers resolve, not just the viewer: `ephemeral` and `ephemeral2` are
paths too, and leaving them literal would have made the short form apply to
whichever panel happened to be first.

6 more tests on the round trip, including the near-miss and the nested case.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 559560de48 the folder is the URL: /files/Tests/test folder
`?path=/Tests/test_folder` becomes `/files/Tests/test%20folder`. Directories only —
an open file stays `?view=`, because it is what is on top of you rather than where
you are, and that split is what keeps closing a pane from moving you.

── The landmine, found before building on it ──

`server.tsx` 404s any path ending .js/.css/.map/.png/.svg/.ico/.webmanifest/.woff2
that is not in `build/`, so it never reaches the SPA. A folder named `logo.png` is
unusual but legal, and it would have deep-linked to a 404 that reads as a broken
link rather than a rule.

Narrowed to SINGLE-SEGMENT paths, which is safe on evidence rather than by
loosening a rule: the bundler emits exactly three files, all at the root of
`build/`, so a real asset never has a second slash; and multi-segment assets
(`public/**`, `/plugins/<app>/icon.png`) are served by Bun's `routes` table before
this handler runs.

── Encoding is the part that breaks quietly ──

Per SEGMENT, never the whole path — encodeURIComponent would eat the separators.
14 tests over the round trip, because a filename may carry anything but `/` and
NUL. The ones that matter: `#` truncates a URL at the fragment if unescaped, a
literal `%` is mistaken for an escape, and malformed input must not throw
(decodeURIComponent('%zz') raises URIError, and that would take the screen down).
Parentheses stay readable — encodeURIComponent leaves them alone — so
`Kanban (copy 2)` survives as `Kanban%20(copy%202)`.

── The rest ──

- `/files` → `/files/*`. The bare route still matches with an empty splat, so every
  existing link, the dock entry and DEFAULT_DOCK_PATHS keep working.
- Breadcrumbs take a `To` instead of a query string and are still real links.
- Old `?path=` URLs redirect once, in place, with `replace` so it is not a
  back-button step. A bookmark from this morning still lands where it meant to.
- `setViewerParams` stopped copying `path` across, because there is nothing to
  copy — the folder is the pathname and is untouched by a search-param write.

Checked and needing nothing: the page-title rule is `startsWith('/files')`, and the
dock uses react-router NavLink without `end`, so `/files/Tests` keeps the tile lit.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4874c21dfd search results take you to a thing, they do not open it
Clicking a file result navigated to its folder AND opened a viewer pane in one
gesture. Search is how you find where something is; opening it is a separate
decision — so a search for a name you were merely locating left a pane you then
had to close.

  file       → its containing folder, with the row selected
  directory  → inside it, which is what opening a folder means

The file is selected rather than merely listed, so the thing you searched for is
picked out of whatever else is in that folder.

That makes clicking a FILE identical to Show location — one behaviour reached two
ways — so the menu stops offering it twice under two names. "Open folder" now
appears only on a directory result, which is the only kind that has somewhere to
go into; a file gets Show location alone. `ExternalLink` went with it, since
nothing was left importing it for.

`handleShowLocation` is unchanged and still reveals a DIRECTORY's parent, so the
two menu items on a folder are genuinely different: Open folder goes in, Show
location goes to where it sits.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a84eedd126 zip from the folder, extract on double-click, show location
Three things from testing.

── The download zip carried the path to itself ──

Selecting files in ~/Tests/test_folder and downloading produced an archive whose
contents were `Tests/test_folder/…`. `POST /download` spawned zip with
`cwd: rootDir` and root-relative paths, so the whole chain from home went in.
Nobody selecting three files is asking for the route to that folder to be part of
what they downloaded.

Now it zips from the items' own folder using bare names. A MIXED selection keeps
the old form, because two `notes.txt` from different folders would collide
without the paths keeping them apart — the UI only selects within one folder, so
that branch is a safety net rather than the case. `/compress` already did it this
way; this is the same fix on the endpoint that predates it.

Verified against real zip: `Tests/a.txt` → `a.txt`, `Tests/test_folder/b.txt` →
`test_folder/b.txt`.

── Double-clicking an archive extracts it ──

It opened a pane that rendered "Archive file" and the name you could already see
in the listing. That is a step on the way to the only thing anyone opens a zip
for. Extract resolves collisions, so a second double-click makes a sibling rather
than overwriting. The menu's Extract stays — a double-click is not a discoverable
way to learn what will happen.

── Show location ──

A search result answers "here is the file"; its path underneath raises "where does
this live", and clicking only ever answered the first. This goes to the containing
folder, clears the search and SELECTS the row, so a folder of forty files does not
leave you hunting. A directory hit reveals its parent — where is this means the
folder it sits in, not the folder it is.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 5ef83ef0d0 say WHY a file could not be opened, and offer the thing that still works
Opening a large text file showed "Failed to read file" and nothing else. The
server had already said exactly what was wrong — "File too large to read
(max 5 MB)" — and the viewer threw it away: `.catch(() => setError('Failed to
read file'))` ignored its argument.

`hono.ts:297` renders a CustomError as `ctx.text(error.message)`, so that sentence
arrives verbatim as `ApiError.message`. It is shown now.

Guarded rather than trusted, because error paths are where surprises live. A body
is only displayed when it looks like prose: an HTML page from a proxy, a JSON
envelope from a route that sets `returnValue`, an empty string or something
300 characters long all fall back to the generic line. Checked all seven cases.

The error state also stopped being a dead end. Being told a file is too big, with
nothing to do about it, leaves the reader stuck — but the bytes are still there
and only the UTF-8 READ is capped; `/raw` has no limit. So it offers "Download
instead", which is the action that still works.

This is the same class as the empty-file bug found earlier today: the viewer knew
the answer and did not pass it on.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 31d8d72527 closing a file no longer sends you home
Open ~/Tests, double-click a file, edit it, save, close the pane — and the browser
was back at ~. Reported from a real session, not found by reading.

`onCloseViewer` was `setSearchParams({})`, which wipes the WHOLE query string. The
folder lives in `?path=`, so closing the viewer deleted where you were along with
what was on top of it. It also discarded anything `useGlobalQueryString` had put
in the URL.

The rule was already written down one file away, in
`useFileBrowserApp.setViewerParams`: "`path` is not one of them — it is where you
are, not what is on top of it — so it survives." Only the OPEN path honoured it.
Close now deletes the ephemeral keys by name, which is exactly what
`onCloseEphemeral`, `onCloseEphemeral2` and `onCloseChat` directly below it have
always done — it was the single outlier among four handlers.

Checked the other exits before calling it fixed: there is one `onClose` wired to
the viewer, every other handler already used the targeted form, and the
mount-cleanup effect deletes the same keys off `prev` rather than replacing the
string. This was the only wholesale wipe in the repo.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 c945f50e60 creating a file just creates it — and an empty file is editable
Two halves of one behaviour.

── New file no longer navigates ──

It created the file and then took you to /code-editor, which made it the only
action in the browser that leaves the browser. Creating a folder does not leave
the folder; uploading does not open what you uploaded. Now the file appears in
the listing and that is the whole operation.

Editing is the same double-click that opens anything else — the viewer's pane
already has an editor in it, with a save. One way to open a thing, one place it
appears.

── The bug that would have broken that on the first try ──

FileViewerHeader gated its Edit toggle on `editable && content`. `content` is
`string | null` and an empty file is the EMPTY STRING, which is falsy — so a file
with nothing in it rendered no pencil and could not be edited. That is precisely
the file you most want to edit, and it is exactly what "New file" produces: the
flow above would have dead-ended on its first use.

Now `content !== null`, which is what FileViewerBody already used two files away.

Checked the other two truthiness gates rather than changing them blindly, and both
are right: `isJson` returns false for empty (an empty string is not JSON, and
JSON.parse would throw), and Read Aloud stays hidden because speaking an empty
file is not a thing.

`Open in editor` still goes to /code-editor and is untouched — that route is a
different tool, with a tree and tabs, and today's links are the first way to reach
it at all. Worth deciding separately.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d7b602ff34 a real dialog for New file, New folder and Clone
`New file` shipped this morning behind `window.prompt()`, and prompt is the wrong
tool for a reason that is not cosmetic: it cannot validate. It takes whatever you
type, so the first thing you learned about a bad name was a red toast after the
round trip — and for New file specifically, the server refuses to clobber, so the
way you discovered a name was taken was by having the creation rejected.

One dialog now serves all three. It checks on every keystroke, against the names
already on screen:

  - empty is not an error, just nothing to submit — no red "required" before you
    have typed anything
  - `.` and `..` refused; a LEADING dot is fine, because a dotfile is a real
    thing to want
  - `/` refused rather than quietly doing mkdir -p, which is a surprise from a box
    labelled "Folder name" and is why the rename endpoint refuses slashes too
  - a collision is caught before the request, and case-SENSITIVELY: this is Linux,
    so Notes.txt and notes.txt genuinely coexist and refusing one would refuse a
    legal name

The server keeps its own refusal. This is the courtesy; that is the lock.

Clone joined them because it was the last prompt() I had added, and the URL check
is deliberately loose: git takes ssh, git://, a local path and a host alias from
~/.ssh/config, so validating for https would break working setups to prevent a
mistake git already reports well. Only whitespace is refused.

The open state moved into `useFileBrowserApp` because two surfaces open the same
dialog — the background menu and the toolbar — and each having its own would be
two dialogs that could both be open. One mount, five call sites.

The toolbar's New folder was on prompt() before today and is now on the dialog
too, so there is no prompt() left anywhere in the file browser.

16 tests over the two validators. tsgo clean, frontend builds, 817 pass / 7 fail —

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 84d6d7e7ce file browser: the eight defects from the audit
1. Kebab Cut/Copy silently did nothing, and sometimes cut the wrong rows.
   `EllipsisMenu` stops click propagation so opening it does not toggle
   selection — but Cut, Copy, Download, Delete and Compress all act on the
   SELECTION, which meant the kebab operated on whatever was selected elsewhere,
   or returned early with no toast at all. Right-click never had this because it
   selects first. Both now call one `ensureSelected`, on open.

2. Every menu vanished during a search. That branch had no ContextMenu and its
   rows are not FileItems, so right-click fell through to the browser. The folder
   menu is now declared once and mounted in both branches — it acts on
   `currentPath`, which a search does not change, so it stays meaningful.

   Search ROWS get their own three-item menu rather than the row menu: a hit
   carries an absolute path from anywhere in the tree, while every row-menu
   handler builds its path from the folder being browsed. Reusing it would have
   acted on a different file with the same name. `DirEntry.path` is optional —
   only search results carry one — so it is guarded, not asserted.

3. Download and Copy path now fan out over a multi-selection, the rule Delete and
   Compress already used. The menu downloaded one of six selected files while the
   toolbar zipped all six.

   Chat is deliberately NOT included: `chatContext` is a single path that the
   provider string-splits into a working directory, so a list would need Chat's
   contract changed. Left alone rather than half-done.

4. Read Aloud stopped offering TTS on binaries — same guard the editor got, since
   `text` is `getFileType`'s fallback and caught .exe and .sqlite.

5. `POST /file-browser/download` is filed as a read. It zips a selection and
   writes nothing; it is a POST only because a list of paths does not fit a query
   string. A read-level member could download a whole folder but not two files.
   Proved by hand that `readOnlyWrites: ['/download']` permits GET and POST
   /download, and still denies /download-video, /rm and /write — `isPrefixOf` is
   segment-aware, so the sibling route does not leak.

6. `disabled` had no use anywhere in the feature — the shared item type did not
   even expose it. It does now, and the first real case: `/file-browser/read`
   refuses over 5 MB, so Open in editor on a 40 MB log opened an editor that then
   failed. Hiding it would have suggested the file is not text; disabled says the
   true thing.

7. The grid kebab could fade out while its own dropdown was open — list view had
   `data-[state=open]:opacity-100` and grid did not.

8. Dead exports `getMatchingTasks` / `getMatchingAgents` removed. Both were the
   ungrouped input to the grouped form the menu actually renders; exporting them
   invited a second code path that never arrived.

9 is untouched on purpose — a plugin cannot register a menu item, and the music
plugin is where that should be designed.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e2b0d5c06b edit any text file, and make new ones from the empty panel
Two things, both asked for.

── Open in editor now covers text ──

It was markdown and code only, because `text` is `getFileType`'s FALLBACK and so
also catches binaries. That was the wrong trade: media, archives and pdf are
already claimed by earlier branches, so what actually lands in the fallback is
.txt, .log, .csv, .conf, dotfiles, Makefile-likes and anything with an extension
the platform has never heard of. Refusing all of that to avoid one bad case cost
far more than it saved.

The bad case is named instead of guessed at — a ~40-entry list of extensions that
reach the fallback but are not text (.exe .so .sqlite .docx .woff …). A denylist
that is too short costs one bad render; a `text` test that is too strict costs
the feature. Not a security control: `/file-browser/read` is UTF-8 and capped at
5 MB, so the worst outcome is mojibake.

Checked against 18 names: notes.txt, server.log, data.csv, nginx.conf, .env,
Makefile, script.sh, and an extensionless file all offer it; jpg, mp3, zip, pdf,
exe, so, sqlite and docx all do not.

── New file, from the empty panel ──

Right-click → New file takes a name WHOLE, extension included, creates it empty
and opens it in the editor. The extension is what the editor uses to pick a
language, so guessing one would be wrong more often than not; no extension is
fine and opens as plain text.

It refuses to clobber. `/write` is an overwrite, so creating over an existing
name would silently empty it — the one outcome nobody wants from a menu item
called "New file". There is no stat endpoint, so the check is a read that is
expected to fail.

`prompt()` to match New folder directly above it. Both deserve a real dialog and
neither has one; making this one different would just be inconsistent.

── Verified rather than assumed ──

`getActiveFile()` only matches ALREADY-OPEN files, so a path arriving in the URL
could have landed on an empty editor — the exact silent failure this whole audit
keeps turning up. It does not: CodeEditor.tsx:60-76 fetches and opens an unopened
`?file=`, with an `unreadable` set guarding the retry loop. Confirmed
/code-editor renders with `urlState`, without which the param is ignored entirely.

The param is imported as `EDITOR_FILE_PARAM` rather than written as 'file' twice,
so renaming it cannot leave this behind.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 cc889a864c file browser: close the accidental gaps in the context menu
The audit split the menu's omissions in two. Three were deliberate — OCR,
Transcribe and Extract Audio were removed in July because the task system does
them better, and those stay gone. The rest were nobody's decision. This is the
rest.

── One menu body instead of two ──

`DropdownMenuItems` and `ContextMenuItems` were character-identical apart from the
component prefix: 159 lines duplicated, including the same comment twice. Radix
gives both families the same props, so the components are now a parameter and
there is one list. That is why this diff removes more than it adds while adding
seven items — and why the next item only has to be written once.

── Added to the row menu ──

- Open — double-click was the only way. Every file manager puts it first.
- Open in editor — `/code-editor` is on the SAME `files` permission as `/files`,
  so anyone who can browse could already edit; there was just no way to get there
  from a file. Narrower than Read Aloud on purpose: that one uses the `text`
  FALLBACK type, which matches .exe and .bin.
- Paste into folder — a move was only expressible as cut → navigate → paste.
  Right-clicking the destination is the obvious gesture and did not exist.
- Duplicate — one call away the whole time; `/copy` already resolves collisions
  to " (copy 2)".
- Compress — the missing half of Extract. `/download` shelled out to zip but
  streamed the result away, so nothing could make an archive and keep it. New
  `POST /file-browser/compress` writes it beside the original.
- Pin / Unpin — pinning existed only in the widget, which is not where you meet
  a file worth keeping to hand.

── Added to the background menu ──

- Clone repository and Show/Hide hidden files. Both were toolbar-only, and the
  toolbar hides them under `md:` — so on a phone neither existed. All four
  desktop-only toolbar actions are now in this menu, which long-press reaches.
- Paste is gated on the clipboard, as both toolbars already were. Ungated it fell
  through to the OS clipboard path and either toasted a secure-context error or
  silently did nothing — an item that looked available and was not.

── Removed ──

`pcm-worklet-processor.js`, orphaned when cliamp left for the music plugin this
morning. Verified unreferenced; the plugin ships its own copy inline.

The `Play` hole itself is NOT closed and cannot be from here: there is no way for
a plugin to register a context-menu item. Tasks and agents are the only extension
mechanism and a task can only contribute a task entry. That is a platform gap and
wants its own decision.

Verified the zip invocation by hand for all three shapes — single file, directory
(recursive, contents included), and a multi-item selection. Archive naming strips
the extension only for a file, so a directory called `my.photos` stays
`my.photos.zip` rather than becoming `my.zip`.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 dd26e4a688 example leaves too; plugins/ is documentation now
Done with `tea` as admin: plugins/offscale made public, plugins/example created
public, both verified anonymously over https — which is the check that matters,
because fetch.ts clones with no credentials and a private plugin simply cannot be
installed from the marketplace.

  plugins/example    8 files, cloned back and diffed identical
  plugins/offscale   now public (was private, so was uninstallable)

`.gitignore` is one line now — `/plugins/*/`. The trailing slash is the whole
design: it ignores DIRECTORIES, so files at the top of plugins/ stay tracked. The
documentation about plugins belongs to the platform; the plugins do not.

All three are in the marketplace catalogue, which is what makes this reversible:
before this, untracking offscale meant a fresh install could never get it back.
Now the store is the way in for all three.

CatalogueEntry gains `icon` (a lucide name) alongside `iconUrl`. Both new entries
ship glyphs rather than artwork, and without it they drew the generic puzzle piece
in the store and their real icon after install — which reads as the icon changing
rather than the store not knowing it.

EXTRACTING-A-PLUGIN.md pointed at four directories a fresh checkout no longer has.
It now gives repository URLs, says up front that this directory holds documentation
rather than plugins, and carries a table of where each one went. Checked first that
no tracked source statically imports a plugin directory — none does, so a fresh
clone still builds.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 29170dd922 installing a plugin pins its dock tile, with no reload
Installing Music left the dock unchanged. The tile existed server-side the
moment the plugin was enabled, and the only way to see it was Profile → Dock,
by hand, after a page refresh. Installing something is already the decision to
use it; saying so twice is the bug.

Three separate causes, which is why it looked like one stubborn one:

1. `dock_configs.paths` is a COMPLETE ordered list, not a diff — useDock renders
   the saved list rather than everything available, so anything not named in it
   is invisible. Nothing in the plugin system had ever written to that table.
   installPlugin now appends the new route, for the caller (threaded through the
   route) rather than a guessed owner id.

   Only for a user who HAS a row. A user without one is left alone deliberately:
   there is nothing to append to, and writing one would freeze today's defaults
   into their account permanently. That case is (2).

2. The fallback for a user who never customised was DEFAULT_DOCK_PATHS, which is
   core-only — so a plugin tile was hidden there too. `defaultDockPaths(plugins)`
   is now that list plus a tile per installed plugin, and the dock and its
   settings screen both call it so they cannot disagree about what "default"
   means.

3. useDock holds ['DOCK'] at staleTime: Infinity and the plugin verbs invalidated
   only ['plugins'] and ['self-permissions']. So even once the server wrote the
   path, nothing asked again — that is the part that made a reload necessary.

Also fixes a guard I broke reaching for this: typing VERBS as
Record<string, VerbFn> widens keyof to `string`, which makes `isVerb` prove
nothing and lets an unknown verb index the map. `satisfies` instead, and there is
now a check that Verb is still the four-member union.

Uninstall deliberately does not remove the path. A stale path with no item behind
it is dropped by useDock, and keeping it means disable/enable and reinstall put
the tile back where the user had it rather than at the end.

tsgo clean, frontend builds. 787 pass / 7 fail — 6 identical to before; the 7th
is plugins/music/cliamp, which install pulled into test discovery and which the
manifest documents as parked.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 dadfdc26af plugins page becomes a marketplace: catalogue, clone-on-install
The /plugins route showed only what was already on disk, so a plugin nobody had
copied in by hand did not exist. It now shows a third list — what a remote
catalogue offers — and installing one fetches its source.

- plugins/marketplace.ts — a stand-in for the remote store, a JSON array in
  process. One entry: music, pointing at gitea.officer.dev/plugins/music. It is
  deliberately a module and not a fetch, so the shape of a catalogue entry gets
  settled before anything depends on a server answering.

- plugins/fetch.ts — git clone --depth 1 into plugins/<appName>/, INSIDE the
  platform repo because bun resolves the workspace links by walking up and a
  plugin cloned beside it cannot import anything the platform provides
  (measured, not assumed). https only, no credentials, GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 so
  a repo that turned private fails instead of hanging. A failed clone removes
  the directory: a half-written one reads as a broken plugin rather than an
  absent one, which is the worse of the two.

- install.ts fetches first when the directory is missing, then RE-DISCOVERS
  rather than assuming what it cloned. Everything after is the existing path,
  including the frontend rebuild — so a cloned plugin's panels reach the SPA
  without a restart.

- GET /api/plugins returns `available`, catalogue minus what is on disk. Each
  entry gets the same live PATH probe a local plugin gets, so music's ffmpeg and
  ffprobe are answered for this machine BEFORE the clone rather than after.

- The detail panel is a separate component for a catalogue entry, not a mode of
  the installed one: there is no sidecar status, no enabled state and no route
  to open, and what there IS — the source URL — the installed panel has no
  reason to show. The streaming log is shared, because the marketplace install
  is the case that needs it most: it clones before it does anything, and a slow
  clone behind a blank panel looks like a hang.

The catalogue's icon is an absolute URL to the store's copy, which is the
[open] question the previous commit left: assets only publish at install, so a
plugin you have never installed had no artwork to draw.

Not done: no update verb, no signature, no private repos, and removePluginSource
has no caller — deleting source drops tables on the next push, and that wants a
verb that says so.

tsgo clean. 767 pass / 6 fail, all 6 identical on HEAD without this change.

pastilhas 027b10bd6e step 4/4: the docs say permissions too, and capability means one thing again
44 files of prose — CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, TODO.md, 20 docs, both plugin design
documents, and the comment surface the earlier steps could not reach.

Applied against an explicit keep-list, not swept, because the word turned out to
have SIX meanings in this repository rather than the three the offscale doc
recorded:

  permissions          renamed (steps 1–2)
  $OFFICER_ROOT/capabilities/  KEPT — the item store, and now the only thing
                               the word means that is ours
  sidecar routing keys renamed to `handles` (step 3)
  Lightning wallet     KEPT — a domain term, and on the wire to the mobile apps
  terminfo queries     KEPT — XTGETTCAP, in the pty sidecar
  InvoiceShelf         KEPT — per-resource { write, bulkDelete } flags

The sweep still falsified two things, both caught by checking rather than by
review, and both in prose that discusses more than one meaning at once:

CLAUDE.md began claiming the item store lives at `$OFFICER_ROOT/permissions`.
It does not; that directory is on disk and full of skills and tools.

And the offscale doc's own note about the collision became
"Named `permissions`, NOT `permissions`" — a sentence that had eaten the thing
it existed to warn about.

Both restored, and the note rewritten to say what is now true: capability means
one thing of ours, and three that belong to somebody else's vocabulary.

Verified live after restart: self and admin permission endpoints 200, gated
route 200, agent-status 200, 9 grants intact with 6 permissions offered.
tsgo clean, 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7.

The rename is done. Four steps, no data lost, no client break that survived
the step it was introduced in.
2026-08-15 16:31:11 +00:00
pastilhas 2e8ec845c8 step 1/4: the permission engine is called permissions, not capabilities
The word meant four different things in this repo, not the three the offscale
doc records:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhas 9b1c0a75b2 a dock tile can be bare, so artwork is not framed in a swatch
The tile background exists so a white lucide glyph has something to sit on —
on nothing it is invisible. Artwork does not need it, and a logo framed in an
arbitrary coloured square reads as a mistake.

  badge  rounded square filled with `color`, icon inset   (what a glyph needs)
  bare   no background, artwork fills the tile            (what a mark wants)

DEFAULTED from whether the plugin ships assets/icon.png — artwork gets bare, a
glyph gets badge — with `tile` on the manifest to override either way. Presence
is the declaration, as everywhere else here; the field exists only for the
plugin whose artwork genuinely wants a backdrop. Music sets nothing and gets
bare.

`color` is still required either way. It does four jobs and only one of them is
the square: the active glow, the indicator dot and the plugins-list tint all
read it too.

The icon was also smaller than it looked. The source carried ~8% transparent
margin on every side and the artwork is 233x221 inside a square frame, so with
the old `h-7 w-7` inset inside a `w-10` box the duck occupied roughly 39% of
the tile's area. Cropped to its alpha bounding box, padded back to square to
keep aspect, and rescaled: it now fills 95% of the frame instead of 79%, and
`bare` gives it the whole tile instead of half.

Measured rather than eyeballed — the bounding box came from extracting the
alpha plane and scanning it, then the crop was applied to the 1254px original
so nothing was resampled twice.

tsgo clean, 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7. Verified live: music reports
tile=bare, example and offscale still badge.
2026-08-15 15:21:25 +00:00
pastilhas f78abbe05a a plugin ships its own dock icon as a file, not a lucide name
The manifest's `icon` was a lucide NAME, resolved by `resolveIcon` — which
knows 106 glyphs out of lucide's ~1,500. A plugin naming one outside that set
silently rendered a neutral box, and a plugin from a marketplace had no way to
see the ceiling coming.

So the icon is a FILE now: `plugins/<name>/assets/icon.png`, discovered by
presence like everything else here. `manifest.icon` stays as an optional
fallback for a plugin with no artwork — example and offscale still use it — and
the file wins when both exist.

No new mechanism was needed. The app store already published sidecar assets:
`<dir>/assets/` → `public/plugins/<id>/`, served by a dynamic `/plugins/*`
route, with `DockItem.image` rendering an <img>. `pluginDockManifests()` simply
never emitted `image`. Install now publishes and uninstall unpublishes — the
one thing uninstall is allowed to delete, because these are copies whose
originals are still in the plugin's source.

Base64 in the manifest was considered and dropped. It would ride in every
/api/user/capabilities response for every user on every page load, can't be
cached separately, and puts a 5KB string literal in a source file — against the
rule this manifest keeps: what a directory listing can say, it says. It also
needs no support: `image` goes straight into <img src>, so a data: URL already
works for anyone who wants one.

Music ships OffMusic.png, resized 1254² → 256² (1.6MB → 108KB) with alpha
intact, sized for 3× DPI at the dock's 32px render. It also drops `icon` — the
artwork is a voxel duck in headphones, not a glyph.

The plugins page showed a generic Puzzle for every plugin; the list and detail
header now show the plugin's own icon when it has one.

Two bugs found while testing.

Dock.tsx imported 26 lucide icons and used 14. The twelve dead ones — Music,
Bitcoin, Receipt, Images, CalendarDays, Contact, Clapperboard, Mail, Network,
ArrowDownUp, FileText, FolderKanban, MonitorSmartphone — were residue from when
every feature had a hardcoded tile. Deleted.

And uninstalling a plugin left its icon URL answering 500, not 404. server.tsx
globs ./public at BOOT into one exact route per file, each holding a Bun.file
handle, spread into the route table AHEAD of the /plugins/* wildcard. So an
icon present at boot got an exact route that outlived the file, returning
ENOENT on every dock render with the error logged each time — exactly what the
wildcard's own comment says it exists to prevent. The comment covered the ADD
case; this is its mirror. `plugins/` is now excluded from the boot glob, so the
wildcard owns that prefix alone. Verified: 200 installed, 404 uninstalled, 200
reinstalled.

[open] A plugin's icon cannot be seen BEFORE installing it, which is the one
place an app store most wants to — assets are published at install by design,
and an authenticated icon route is no use to an <img>.

pastilhas 0a55964db5 the player moves to the plugin, and src/ has no music code left
officerdev/src/MusicPlayer/ → plugins/music/web/. Engine, state, bar,
favourites, lyrics toggle and the library vocabulary — ten files. The barrel
stops exporting a player it no longer has, and DashboardLayout stops rendering
one.

The reasoning that kept it was removed rather than refuted. It stayed because
the dashboard widget imported useMusicPlayer from officerdev and the platform
cannot import from a plugin, so the state had to stay whatever was decided
about the UI. The owner moved the widget into the plugin in the previous
commit, and the constraint went with it: the whole remaining dependency became
one line, DashboardLayout.tsx:66.

MusicPlayerHost is mounted inside the MusicDetail panel. That reads odd until
you notice it already returned null on /music — the mini bar is the transport
there, and the host existed purely to own the GaplessEngine. In the panel it
does exactly that, and the bar code stays intact for whenever there is a slot.

[phase 2] Leaving /music unmounts the host and playback stops. Deferred on the
owner's call; the bar was "navigating away must not break the application", and
that holds: seekPlayer is optional-chained so a call with no host registered is
a no-op, registerPlayerSeek clears only its own registration, the host's
cleanup destroys the engine and nulls its ref, and the queue is global state so
returning to /music remounts and reloads. Solving it properly needs either a
shell slot a plugin can contribute to — which reopens "there is no way to
export a component" — or the engine hoisted to module scope, which keeps the
rule and loses only the off-route controls.

Also: the parked widget now imports the player as a sibling rather than through
officerdev, and shared.ts stopped being a re-export shim now that the real file
is in the plugin.

Verified: tsgo clean, 797 tests / 787 pass / same 7. Server restarts, mounts
/example /music /offscale, / and /music both 200, and the player is in the
built bundle (music.volume, music:lyrics, now-playing?device=web all present —
GaplessEngine is a class name and the production build is minified, so grepping
for it proves nothing).

Not verified by me: what it looks like in a browser. That needs your eyes.
2026-08-15 14:42:13 +00:00
pastilhas f1bd75853d the music widget moves into the plugin, parked like cliamp
src/workspaces/widgets/MusicPlayer/ → plugins/music/widgets/, its export
dropped from the widgets package, and its registration removed from
WidgetRegistry. Plugins cannot contribute widgets and that mechanism is not
being invented now, so it is parked next to cliamp rather than left in a
workspace package the platform ships.

`../Widget` became `widgets/Widget` — the sibling import turned into that
package's declared export, which it already had.

This removes the last non-plugin consumer of officerdev/src/MusicPlayer, and
that matters more than the move. The argument for keeping the player in the
platform was that the widget imported useMusicPlayer and PlayerTrack from
officerdev, and the platform cannot import from a plugin — so the player STATE
had to stay whatever was decided about the UI, and the engine stayed with the
state.

That constraint is now gone. The complete remaining platform dependency on the
player is one line: DashboardLayout.tsx:66, `<MusicPlayerHost />`.

So the seam is no longer "the widget pins it". It is purely the global overlay
question, which is a platform gap about plugins owning a render slot outside
<Routes> — the same shape as plugins owning a websocket. Recorded rather than
acted on; the decision is the owner's and the previous reasoning for it no
longer holds.

pastilhas 1e79b4effd revert prettier churn on four files the cliamp move never touched
I ran `bunx prettier --write` over whole directories instead of the files I
edited, so FileViewContainer, SelectionActions, usePipelineRunner and Providers
got rewrapped into a diff about cliamp. Pure whitespace, zero behaviour, and
exactly what CLAUDE.md warns about — unexplained churn in someone else's file.

Worth noting what it revealed rather than just undoing it: those four were not
prettier-clean to begin with, so `bun format` on a clean tree would rewrite
them too. That is a pre-existing inconsistency, not mine to fix in this commit.

bunx tsgo clean.
2026-08-15 13:53:36 +00:00
pastilhas a9bf51407e cliamp moves into the plugin, and the platform loses its last music file
The owner read the code and asked why `plugins/music/api/router.ts` was three
lines importing `@@/api/music/router` — platform code that knows the string
'music'. He was right, and tracing it found the justification was hollow.

The chain: server.tsx:20 imported the cliamp relay's two exports, which are
used only on commented-out lines; so the relay's functions were never invoked;
so its call to getMusicServerWsUrl never ran; and the file's other export,
getMusicServerUrl, had no consumers at all. A dead import held a music-named
file in the platform, and I documented that as a "seam" last night after
checking the import existed and stopping there.

Everything cliamp now lives in plugins/music/cliamp/:

  sidecar/music/{cliamp-ws,pulse-audio}.ts, asoundrc, the test
  api/cliamp/relay.ts
  apps/FileBrowser/{CliampPanel,AudioStreamPlayer}.tsx

src/servers/sidecar/music/, src/servers/api/cliamp/ and src/servers/api/music/
are gone. server.tsx has no cliamp import, provider name, handler entry or
route. The platform contains no file named for music or cliamp.

Two of the things that moved were live, not inert.

The file browser's `Play` context-menu item, on any audio file or folder, set
?play= and rendered a cliamp terminal pointed at /api/cliamp/ws — a route that
upgraded into a handlers entry that was commented out, so handlers[provider]!
asserted non-null on undefined. Using that menu item crashed the socket
handler. Removed: the action, the layout, the panel wiring and both menu
entries. Verified the routes now 404 rather than crash.

That closed the totality drift as a side effect. server.tsx's route table and
its handlers map agree again for the first time since 2026-08-13, and
registry.test.ts now asserts it rather than pinning the hole.

The proxy is built in the plugin now, and its prefix is DERIVED. It was the
literal '/api/music', which the proxy uses to strip characters off the path —
correct only because mountPrefix returns /music for a first-party publisher.
The same plugin published by anyone else mounts at /api/p/<publisher>/music and
would have forwarded /alice/music/stream to a sidecar expecting /stream. A
latent bug only third parties would ever hit, and a quiet violation of the rule
that mountPrefix is the one function allowed to know about provenance. Offscale
has the identical hardcode and still needs it.

Still open there: appName is passed as a literal, because a plugin's router
cannot see its own directory name — the platform imports the module and reads
`router`, so there is nowhere to inject it. The fix is a factory the installer
calls with the plugin's identity.

Plugin backend coupling is down to 7 imports, all of them "a plugin talks to
its host": data-path, sidecar/connect, sidecar/protocol, officer-url, the
manifest type, officerdb/db and the users.id FK. Nothing music-shaped left.

bunx tsgo clean. 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7 pre-existing failures. Verified
live: manifest 200, favorites 200, stream 206, /api/cliamp/ws 404.
2026-08-15 13:52:53 +00:00
pastilhas e930586878 plugins declare the host binaries they need, and the installer checks
Offscale was self-sufficient. Music is not — it shells out to ffmpeg and
ffprobe — and the way it fails without them is the reason this is a check
rather than a line in a README.

It does not fail. Missing ffprobe means the indexer catches the spawn error
and returns a track carrying its filename and nothing else: no title, artist,
album, duration or embedded lyrics. It then walks the whole library, writes a
complete cache tree and reports success. Five swallowed catches, no log, no
counter, and the only tell is coversSaved: 0 in a report nobody reads.

So `osDependencies` is a manifest field: the binary to probe on PATH, why it
is needed, and a package name per package manager. The shape is taken from
scripts/setup-old/setup.sh rather than invented — probe the binary, case on
$PM — and the names are per-manager rather than canonical-with-overrides
because lib/packages.sh already recorded why that indirection was rejected.
Probing the binary is what makes "built-in on this OS" free: on PATH means the
package map is never consulted.

Four decisions worth naming.

Missing and uninstallable REFUSES the install, first, before a table is
created or a row written — so there is nothing to undo, and the alternative is
a plugin that installs, answers 200 and quietly produces nothing.

The status is on GET /api/plugins and rendered before the button, because the
owner is deciding whether to let the server run a package manager as root and
that needs answering first. Installing by hand and watching it flip to present
is the escape hatch on a machine without passwordless sudo.

Package names get a deliberately narrow regex and reach Bun.spawn as an argv
ARRAY, never a shell. Both halves are load-bearing: the regex means a
metacharacter cannot get there, argv means it would be an argument rather than
syntax if it did. Narrower than package managers actually accept — no `:`, no
`+` version pins — because a plugin needing one wants a conversation.

Success is OBSERVED, not inferred: after installing, the binaries are re-probed.
A package manager exiting 0 having installed something that does not provide
the binary is exactly the failure this exists to catch.

installCommand mirrors lib/packages.sh's pkg_install_now exactly, including
apt's non-interactive environment, so there is one definition of "install a
package" rather than two that drift. sudo always gets -n: under PM2 a password
prompt is not a slow path, it is a hang. brew never escalates.

Verified live. ffmpeg and ffprobe were absent on this machine all evening; the
page showed both missing with the exact root command, the install streamed
`dependencies: installing ffmpeg with apt` then `ffprobe, ffmpeg now on PATH`,
and X-Audio-Duration appeared on a stream response for the first time. The
refusal path was exercised against a temporary probe dependency: HTTP 400,
steps: [], reason named.

THIS CHANGED THE MACHINE: ffmpeg 6.1.1-3ubuntu5 is now installed via apt.

Found on the way: a manifest is read once per process. Discovery does
`await import()` and the module cache holds it, so editing a manifest changes
nothing until pm2 restart officer — including `outdated`. Cost ten minutes and
is now in the runbook.

pastilhas de3340398c music becomes a plugin, and the player stays behind
The whole of music moves to plugins/music/: the sidecar (index, indexer,
stream-audio, nightly-reindex), the four Postgres tables and their queries,
the /music workspace panels, MUSIC_API.md and the reindex CLI. The platform
keeps no music routes, no music capability entry, no music screen and no
music schema.

Three things stayed, each on purpose.

cliamp and the widget were out of scope by the owner's decision. The plugin's
sidecar still serves the two cliamp sockets, so it imports cliamp-ws.ts and
pulse-audio.ts from @@/sidecar/music/ — the files stay where they were.

The player did not move, and that was the open judgement call. Deciding it
took one fact: the dashboard widget imports useMusicPlayer and PlayerTrack
from officerdev, and the platform cannot import from a plugin. So the player
STATE stays whatever is decided about the UI around it, and two copies would
mean two audio engines. Given that, the engine and the bar stayed with the
state rather than being split from the thing they drive. Moving them would
also have needed a shell slot rendering a plugin-provided component on every
route — the one escape hatch this system deleted on purpose. MusicPlayerHost
gates on can('music'), which is now the plugin's permission, so the seam
switches itself off with the plugin.

api/music/router.ts stays too: api/cliamp/relay.ts imports getMusicServerWsUrl
from it. The plugin's api/router.ts re-exports that proxy rather than building
a second one — two subscribers to the one-shot music:server port announcement
would work today and 503 on the first reconnect where only one was listening.

Two bugs found on the way, neither visible from reading.

The app-store catalogue still listed music. Availability is derived from
sidecar_installs and a PLUGIN never gets a row there, so `music` would have
been permanently unavailable — which puts /music into deniedRoutes and blanks
the screen on a server where the plugin was installed and healthy. Exactly
the headscale bug documented six lines above it in the same file, and it would
have fired on the first install. Entry removed.

[test] root was "./src", so moving lyrics.test.ts into plugins/ stopped it
running and said nothing — the count fell by nine and the suite still read
green. Root is now the repo. Positional filters cannot fix this: `bun test
plugins` matches under root and finds src/servers/plugins/ instead.

registry.test.ts tested the `personal` mechanism THROUGH the music capability.
Re-anchored on a fixture rather than on another entry, because borrowing a
feature only moves the problem to the next extraction — and three of those
four tests had been passing for the wrong reason since music's api was
commented out on 2026-08-13, when everything started resolving to "refused
because nothing is claimed". The cliamp sockets being claimed by nothing is
now pinned by a test instead of being rediscovered.

music's `personal` paths ride across on readOnlyWrites, the one field a
manifest has. isRequestAllowedAtLevel concatenates the two lists, so a read
grant permits exactly the four paths it permitted yesterday, and no field was
added to the manifest to design a per-user model that is not this work.

bunx tsgo clean. 772 tests, 762 pass, 7 fail — all seven pre-existing and
unrelated (cliamp, pty, and five capability tests that other switched-off
plugins break). Baseline was 757/10; the three that went green are the ones
re-anchored above.

Not yet verified on the live server — that is next.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2c89281bfc drop a comment describing an export that left with offscale
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-08-15 00:49:32 +00:00
pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e13128846b offscale is a plugin
headscale leaves the platform. 45 files move to plugins/offscale/ and the
platform stops knowing it exists.

  api/router.ts   the thin auth-gated proxy, now at /api/offscale
  sidecar/        18 files, the whole headscale contract and its admin keys
  db/             schema + queries, offscale_servers
  web/            26 files as panels and a layout — no screen, per the rule

removed from the platform: the hono mount, the `headscale` capability, the
App.tsx route pair, the screen and its barrel, the AppRegistry spread, the
officerdev re-exports, the dock tile, the page-title rule, and both database
barrels. tsgo is clean and nothing references it.

the imports tell the story of what the plugin↔host API actually is. the sidecar
takes @@/sidecar/protocol, @@/sidecar/connect, @@/data-path and
@@/officer-url.mjs; the queries take officerdb/db and officerdb/crypto; the
schema takes officerdb/auth/schema for the one reference a plugin may make; the
web half takes useClient, copyToClipboard, WorkspaceView and TerminalView from
the officerdev barrel. all of it resolves because a plugin lives inside the repo
— no publishing, no version negotiation.

AND IT FOUND A REAL BUG IN THE INSTALLER. createSidecarProxy learns its port
from a one-shot `<name>:server` event and subscribes when the plugin's router is
first imported — at mount. install started the sidecar BEFORE mounting, so the
announcement fired into a void: process online, routes mounted, every request
answering `503 sidecar not available` until something forced a reconnect. it
would have hit every plugin with an http sidecar. `example` never caught it
because it has no listener to announce.

install and enable now mount before starting; disable still unmounts before
stopping. neither direction leaves a mounted route in front of a sidecar that
cannot be reached.

verified live: /api/offscale/_officer/servers answers {"servers":[]}, /offscale
and /offscale/nodes serve, the old /api/headscale is 404, the offscale
capability is registered from the manifest, and officer-offscale is online.

757 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0e24aa3d52 a way into the plugin from its detail panel
installing something and then having to guess its url is a small thing that
makes the whole flow feel unfinished. the detail panel now links to the plugin's
screen.

shown only while installed AND enabled, and only when the plugin has a frontend
at all. a link to an unmounted route lands on the home page, because the shell
redirects an unknown path — which reads as a broken link rather than a plugin
that is switched off. a backend-only plugin has no screen to open and gets no
link rather than a dead one.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7b4137ccca a plugin's frontend, generated and rebuilt without a restart
the last piece. installing a plugin now brings its UI with it.

a bundler cannot follow import(runtimeString), so which plugins have a frontend
cannot be answered from the database at render time — it has to be written into
source first. Plugins.gen.tsx is that file: concrete imports, generated from
what is installed, gitignored because it describes THIS machine.

App.tsx keeps its core routes and gains one map. the wildcard hands the whole
subtree to the plugin's own router, which react-router nests natively.

serving moved to build/ in production. the html import is bundled once when the
module graph loads and can never change after, which is precisely why a plugin's
frontend needed a restart; Bun.build measures ~900ms for a 25MB bundle, so an
install can just rebuild. development keeps the html import, because that is
what gives HMR and bun --watch restarts on every source change anyway.

verified end to end against a running server, no restart at any point: install
regenerated the module, rebuilt the bundle (chunk hash changed), and the
plugin's own markup was in it; /example and /example/deeper both served; disable
took it back out of both the module and the bundle and 404'd the api; enable put
it back.

three things worth recording because they were found rather than reasoned:

the shell output is named after the ENTRYPOINT — index.gen.html, not index.html
— and naming: { entry: '[name].[ext]' } does not change it because [name] is
'index.gen'. found as a 503 on the first boot after the switch.

App.tsx already destructured a `plugins`, from useServerSettings — the DEAD
plugin system that scans a directory which does not exist and always returns [].
it silently shadowed the import. the new one is `installedPlugins` and says why.

seedAppRegistry takes plugin panels as an argument rather than importing them:
officerdev is a dependency of the shell, so importing upward would invert that.

756 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a220342b22 stream the install, so it reads like a log instead of a spinner
each verb now reports its steps as they complete, over server-sent events, and
the detail panel renders them arriving.

POST rather than GET, so EventSource is unavailable — it sends no Authorization
header and these routes are owner-only. The client reads the body and parses
frames by hand, which is what useCompanionLogStream already does for the
headscale container logs; the parser only has to understand what our own
endpoint emits.

the runner does not know whether anyone is listening. it takes an optional
onStep and calls it, so the non-streaming path is the same code with no callback
rather than a second implementation of the same four verbs.

there is a 220ms beat between steps and it is cosmetic — worth saying out loud.
pm2 start genuinely takes ~770ms, measured, but writing a row and rebuilding the
router do not, and four lines landing in one frame look like a stall followed by
a jump. small enough not to matter to a script, long enough to follow.

writing to a closed stream is caught rather than fatal: navigating away
mid-install must not abort the install, because by then it is the server's work
and half an install is the one outcome the ordering was designed to avoid.

verified over the wire with timestamps — frames arrive incrementally, the
sidecar step showing its real duration rather than the beat. afterwards pm2
holds the five core apps, plugin_installs is zero, and ecosystem.config.cjs is
byte-identical.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 02e049cae8 terminal: stop replaying questions, stop opening two sockets, bind the word keys
three separate faults behind "reconnecting gets weird and the keyboard is not
natural".

── the replay typed into the shell ──

the pty buffer was stored raw and replayed verbatim on every re-attach. anything
in it that ASKS the terminal a question — DSR, DA, DECRQM, XTVERSION, XTGETTCAP,
the OSC colour queries — got asked again, and xterm answered correctly by writing
the reply to its input. the pty receives that as a keystroke nobody typed.

stripped on the way IN, since the buffer is the thing that gets replayed and a
live client already answered them once when they were legitimately asked. only
questions are removed; everything that draws is untouched. where a control shares
its final byte with one that draws, the parameter is enumerated rather than
wildcarded — CSI 18 t asks the window size, CSI 22 t pushes the title, and
stripping the second would change what a replay renders. 36 tests, both
directions, because both fail silently.

── two sockets on one session ──

handleClose armed a reconnect timer; handleVisibilityChange fired on tab focus
whenever readyState was CLOSED — which is exactly what a pending timer leaves.
both ran. every keystroke went twice, two replay frames fought over the screen,
and only one socket was ever cleaned up because __terminalCleanup is overwritten
by whichever connect ran last. connect() is now the single guard, and a stale
socket's close no longer speaks for the session.

── the keyboard ──

alt-arrow was dead for everyone: xterm.js 5 rewrote it into the ctrl-arrow
sequence, xterm.js 6 removed that rewrite and emits the honest ^[[1;3C/D
(verified — the string 1;3D does not appear anywhere in the 6.0 bundle). nothing
bound it. so it broke on a dependency bump, with no shell config changed.

bound in zsh rather than translated in the browser, deliberately: tmux.conf
claims M-Left/M-Right for pane switching, and a client-side rewrite would send
^[b to tmux and break it. the real sequence lets tmux handle it inside a session
and zsh outside.

ctrl-arrow was worse and more embarrassing: it worked for MEMBERS and not for the
OWNER. shell-skel/zshrc has had the bindings all along; the owner's .zshrc is
assembled in machine-setup and never got them. the owner had a strictly worse
shell than the accounts they provision. confirmed with `zsh -i -c bindkey`
before and after.

also: escape-time 10 in tmux.conf. the 500ms default delays every Alt chord and
every Escape, which is most of what "not natural" felt like.

applied to this host by hand — setup only runs at install. cmd+arrow is left
alone: xterm emits nothing for it, so there is no sequence to bind.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2634df7a04 the install runner: ecosystem entry, sidecar, row, mounts
closes the hole app-store/pm2.ts has carried since 2026-08-13 — "installing a
plugin has to append its entry here before starting it, that is the plugin
system's job and it is not built". this is that job, and it is why nothing in
the app-store catalogue installs end to end either.

verified against a running server with a sidecar in the tree:

  install    ecosystem added · sidecar started · recorded · mounted /example
             route 200, pm2 online
  disable    sidecar stopped · unmounted
             route 404, pm2 stopped
  enable     sidecar started · mounted
             route 200, pm2 online
  uninstall  record removed · unmounted · sidecar stopped, deleted, entry gone
             route 404, not in pm2, tables untouched

afterwards ecosystem.config.cjs is byte-identical to before, pm2 holds the same
five core apps, and plugin_installs is back to zero rows.

the ecosystem file is edited rather than regenerated: the core entries come from
officer-setup's shell array, so the platform does not know that list and a copy
here would be a second thing to drift. the header above module.exports is
preserved verbatim too — officer-setup's explains that bun auto-loads .env from
the working directory and that data-path derives the install root from its
PARENT, so a wrong cwd relocates the whole install rather than failing. losing
that to a plugin install would be a poor trade.

order is the design. bringing up goes outside-in, taking down goes inside-out,
so the worst intermediate state is "recorded but not running" — visible, and
fixed by a retry — never "running but forgotten", which nothing can see.

each verb returns what it actually did, in order, and the detail panel shows it.
an install that mounted routes but could not start a sidecar is a different
outcome from one that worked, and a spinner that stops cannot say which.

the schema push is still deliberately not wired, and the reason is now in the
code: db:push DROPS tables absent from the schema it is given, so an uninstall
that regenerated the barrel would delete a plugin's data as a side effect of
stopping it. offscale does not need it — headscale_servers already ships in the
platform schema.

720 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 98c400bf33 a /plugins screen to install, enable, disable and uninstall
the management surface for what the last commit made possible. two panels either
side of a selection that lives in ?selected= and is read by both independently,
so neither can be telling the other something stale — rows are real Links, not
buttons holding the name in a closure.

the detail panel shows what the tree declared (api, schema, sidecar, web),
because "installed and nothing happened" is otherwise a mystery, and it names
what uninstall does NOT do: neither disable nor uninstall deletes anything the
plugin stored, and the screen says so rather than leaving someone to guess
whether a button destroys their data.

a directory whose manifest will not parse is listed with its error rather than
skipped. a malformed plugin that simply does not appear is indistinguishable
from one nobody wrote.

`outdated` is surfaced as an Update button: the version on disk moving after an
install is the normal state on a developer's machine, and it should be visible
rather than inferred.

the four mutations are written out rather than generated in a loop — useMutation
is a hook, and a hook called from inside a helper is a rules-of-hooks violation
even when the call order happens to be stable. caught before it shipped.

verified against a running server: the spa builds (19.8 MB bundle containing the
new screen), / serves 200, /api/plugins answers authenticated and 401s without a
token. full suite 719 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures. live server and
plugin_installs left untouched.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d000cedf2f let anyone toggle hidden files again
the show/hide dotfiles button was dead for members. they open the browser at
their own home, that home is `/`, and the toggle is disabled at `/`.

it was never meant to apply to them. 74894b0c wrote it as

    user?.role === 'Super Admin' && currentPath === '/'

to keep the OWNER's home root readable — it is all .bashrc and .ssh and
.claude. then 044aacf4 removed the multi-user surface, dropped users.role, and
noted in its own message that "every role === 'Super Admin' check was
permanently true". so it folded the conjunct away and left `currentPath === '/'`.

correct on a single-user server. multi-user came back on 2026-08-07 and this
line did not come back with it, so a rule about one account's home quietly
became a rule about everyone's — and members feel it constantly, because
members are always at their root.

removed rather than restored to owner-only: the point was a tidy default, not a
prohibition, and `files/showHidden` already defaults to false. so dotfiles stay
hidden until asked for, everywhere, for everyone — and the asking now works.

the server never filtered dotfiles; readdir returns them and always did. this
was only ever the client.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d6f01862fe fix a stack overflow in the wallet copy button
Mine, from the clipboard sweep. format.ts exported copyToClipboard wrapping
navigator.clipboard; the sweep replaced the body call with copyToClipboard(value),
so the function called itself. CopyField.tsx is the caller, so every copy button in
the Wallet was an infinite recursion.

Removed the wrapper rather than repointing it — helpers/clipboard already does more
(execCommand fallback on an insecure origin) and CopyField imports it directly now.

Found by finally running tsgo, in the officerdev-test tree, which has node_modules.
