An opencode session in a git directory never appeared in /chat. The list read GET /session,
which answers for ONE project — the one the request's directory resolves to, and with no
x-opencode-directory header that is the serve's own cwd, DATA_PATH/opencode_server. Not a git
checkout, so it resolves to the catch-all project `global`, along with every other non-git
directory. That is why the default chat dir listed fine and nothing looked broken: a cwd that
IS a checkout gets its own project, and chat pwds are checkouts.
Measured on the live serve before changing anything: /session returned 8 sessions, /api/session
13, the five missing ones being an old project's. A session created in a git directory came back
0 times from /session and 1 from /api/session.
/api/session spans projects, so that is now the list. The per-id reads stay on /session — they
answer for any session regardless of project, verified 200 with and without the header.
The trap, and the reason listSessions normalises rather than returning the response: the two
surfaces disagree in silence. /session carries the working directory as top-level `directory`,
/api/session as `location.directory` with no top-level field, inside a {data: …} envelope.
Swapping the endpoint without the mapping leaves `directory` undefined on every session, which
the cwd filter turns into an empty list — the same shape as the metadata.officer.cwd bug this
filter already had once.
Verified against the live serve: with the mapping, a session in a git directory and one in the
general chat dir both resolve to their cwd, and every session carries a directory.

Three commits backed out a few hours ago as collateral, restored together because they are one fix:
243bd04 (queue sends until OPEN), bc13450 (defer the teardown close by a tick, cancellable) and
66a41d0 (count CONNECTING as ours, not only OPEN).
Why they are needed, from evidence rather than reasoning. d9857ee fixed the server side and Andre
still had nothing on https://macbook.pastilhas.dev after a restart. The decisive observation is an
ABSENCE: his attempts appear nowhere in officer's log — no "Model selected for chat", no
claude:stream for his session. Nothing reaches the server at all. Meanwhile a socket I drove by hand
against the same wss:// url ran a full turn in 2.5s, so the transport is not it.
That is `send` dropping the message. It returned silently on `readyState !== OPEN`, and the socket is
not OPEN because the effect cleanup closed it on a remount while it was still CONNECTING, then closed
its replacement the same way. Enter does nothing, forever, with the view sitting on Disconnected —
and no error anywhere, on either side, which is why this reads as a dead server.
Note what is still NOT fixed, and is written into the code comment rather than this message alone: a
/chat/new load opens TWO sockets, from two separate useChat instances mounting. Measured with a
constructor counter. Both connect, so it looks healthy; d9857ee is what makes it harmless.
Correction to d9857ee's message, so the record is not wrong: it claims the localhost/domain split is
latency changing the attach/close ordering. That is plausible and it is NOT what was demonstrated —
the server-side fix alone did not help. It is still worth having (a stale close silencing a live
client is real, and so is the idle GC gate), but the asymmetry is unexplained and the client drop
above is what actually stopped a message.
Client bundle changes, so this needs a hard reload as well as a restart. Not verified in a browser.

This is 7726c9f, reverted a few hours ago as collateral with the tabs-and-panes work. It was never
a panes feature — it is the fix for a bug that predates them, and tonight it was reproduced by hand.
The symptom: on https://macbook.pastilhas.dev a chat connects, works briefly, and is dead after a
refresh, never coming back. On http://localhost:9010 the same build is fine.
The cause is ordering. A refresh means socket B attaches before socket A's close is delivered, and
`detachWs(sessionId)` took no socket argument — it nulled the session's single `ws` field, so the
dying socket silenced the live one that had already replaced it. Nothing re-attaches afterwards,
which is why it never came back. Over loopback the close usually lands first and it survives; via
NPM on alpha and back to this host the extra latency makes the late close the ordinary case. That
is the whole of the localhost/domain asymmetry.
`sockets: Set` plus `detachWs(sessionId, ws)` removes only the socket that actually closed, and
delivery fans out to whatever is still attached. `hasSockets` then gates the idle GC, which used to
arm on ANY close — a second pane closing could collect a conversation out from under the first.
Ruled out on the way, so none of it is re-investigated: the reverse proxy relays upgrades correctly
(a clean 101 through openresty, and a full turn streamed end to end over wss:// with deltas and a
cost line); origin validation is off (ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN defaults true and is unset here) and never
runs on the upgrade, which is a literal Bun route and never reaches Hono; authenticated HTTP is 200
through both doors; the passkeys table is empty, so no origin-bound credential is involved; and the
token-resolution fix 52d5678 — which I nearly re-landed first — was the WRONG diagnosis, because
signin writes localStorage.BEARER_TOKEN, exactly where the socket url reads. That one is still
worth having for embedded and ?officerToken= hosts, but it was never this.
Not verified: a browser refresh against the domain, which is Andre's to confirm — it is the only
step I cannot drive from here. Typecheck clean.

Reverts 66a41d0 and bc13450. Both were justified by reasoning that measurement then contradicted:
the chat socket was never the fault. What actually fixed chat was tearing down and restarting the
whole pm2 ecosystem, so the failure lived in process state, not in this hook.
Leaves the tree identical to 31ffe08 — the pre-multi-server baseline Andre asked for — apart from
docs/agent-git-identity.md.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Follow-up to bc13450, found by actually driving a browser instead of reasoning about one. The
deferred close keeps a remount's socket alive mid-handshake, but `connect` only treated OPEN as
"already ours" — so the re-run built a second socket, overwrote socketRef, and left the first open
forever with its `open` handler bailing on the mismatch. CONNECTING now counts too.
What the browser actually says, headless Chrome against this server, fresh load of /chat/new:
#1 NEW wss://…/api/chat/ws?token=…
#2 NEW wss://…/api/chat/ws?token=…
#1 OPEN
#2 OPEN (neither ever closes, 12s)
header: green dot, no "Disconnected"
So the served code CONNECTS on a fresh load and the Disconnected report could not be reproduced
here — which points the remaining report at the client's cached bundle rather than at this code. The
chunk hash moved e3jsfax5 -> 81jec45w across these edits, so the rebuild is reaching the wire.
Two sockets per load survive this fix and are NOT what it addresses: they come from two separate
`useChat` instances mounting on that route, each with its own refs, so no per-instance guard can see
the other. Left alone deliberately — both connect, and one conversation opening two agent sockets
wants understanding before a fix.
Also retired here: my claim that StrictMode's double-invoke was the trigger. The served bundle has no
dev-only React internals at all (`doubleInvokeEffectsOnFiber`, `runWithFiberInDEV`,
`commitPassiveUnmountEffectsInsideOfDeletedTree`: zero hits), because pm2 runs `bun start` with
NODE_ENV=production.
Typecheck clean. Repro harness is in the session scratchpad, not committed.

Re-applies bcb3d6d, which the tabs/panes revert (0a4ff54) took out as collateral: the fix lived in
useChatWebSocket.ts, so reverting the panes work reverted it too. It was never panes-specific — the
mechanism is React remounting a subtree, which happens on this screen with one conversation just as
it did in a pane.
The cleanup closed the socket while it was still CONNECTING, and the replacement was closed in turn,
so the view churned and sat on Disconnected forever. The close is now deferred a tick and cancelled
if the effect re-runs: a remount reclaims the live socket, a real unmount has nobody to cancel it.
Diagnosed from the browser this time rather than guessed. A raw socket opened by hand from the
console on the same origin, with the same token, reports RAW OPEN and stays open:
new WebSocket(`wss://${location.host}/api/chat/ws?token=${localStorage.getItem('BEARER_TOKEN')}`)
so transport, auth, the tailnet proxy and the server are all fine and the app was closing its own
socket. Two earlier theories are dead and worth naming: the token resolution mismatch (52d5678) does
not apply — the token IS in localStorage.BEARER_TOKEN where the old code looks — and StrictMode's
double-invoke is not the trigger here, since pm2 runs `bun start` with NODE_ENV=production where
React does not double-invoke. Some other remount is.
Not verified in a browser yet: whether this alone clears Disconnected. If it does not, the remaining
suspect is a continuous remount rather than a single one, which a WebSocket-constructor counter in
the console will show as a rising count.
Typecheck clean.

Andre wants to log out and log back in against a single server, so this takes out dc6b623 and my
token-resolution change with it — the latter first, because it was written against
useServerClient, which dc6b623 introduced.
Gone: the connections store, the server chips, the per-server client and the per-server socket
url. `useClient()` is back to one origin, `/api`, and the session it already holds. The chat
socket url is back to what it was:
const token = localStorage.getItem('BEARER_TOKEN');
const wsUrl = `${protocol}//${window.location.host}/api/chat/ws?token=${token}`;
Verified: the staged tree is byte-identical to dc6b623^ across all of src/.
Two things he should know rather than discover.
The old line reads localStorage and nothing else — the same single spelling I widened an hour ago
and have now removed again. If his token is NOT in localStorage, this code fails exactly as
before, and worse: a missing one interpolates as the literal string "null" rather than an empty
value. Reverting cannot fix that class of problem; it restores it.
`officer.connections.v1` stays in his browser's localStorage with alpha's API key in it. Nothing
reads it now, so it is inert, but it is a credential sitting in a store nobody owns any more and
should be cleared by hand.
Typecheck clean. 600 pass, 2 fail — cliamp and pty, unchanged all evening and unrelated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reported after the revert: the app loads, the old layout is back, history lists — and the socket
never reaches connected.
The two doors disagreed. `createClient` accepts a token from seven places: window.officerBearerToken,
two body datasets, an `?officerToken=` query param, PERTENTO_EDITOR_AUTH_TOKEN, localStorage and
sessionStorage. The chat socket url read exactly one of them, `localStorage.BEARER_TOKEN`, so a
token held anywhere else authenticated every HTTP request and left the WebSocket with a bare
`?token=`.
That failure is silent and reads as a dead server: verified here, an empty token closes with 1002
"Expected 101 status code", and the hook's retry loop repeats it forever. Nothing logs a missing
credential, so the app looks fine in every way except the one that matters.
Resolution is now one exported function, `resolveBearerToken`, used by both. The point is that it
cannot be re-spelled: this bug is the second spelling drifting from the first.
Predates the tabs work and survived reverting it, which is the evidence it was never a panes bug.
Not fixed here, same shape, left alone deliberately: Terminal, Desktop, AudioStreamPlayer, the
pipeline and task runners, JobDetail and EmailList all build socket or fetch urls from
`localStorage.BEARER_TOKEN` directly and will fail identically for the same user.
Typecheck clean. 600 pass, 2 fail — cliamp and pty, unchanged and unrelated. Not verified in a
browser; Andre has the only client that reproduces it.

Andre asked for zero, not another fix on top. Reverts ec4f06a..7726c9f — the ten commits from
"tabs and panes" onward: the tab bar and pane splitting, tab renaming and its page title, the
per-server directory picker, the render-loop fix, pane transcript resolution, the send queue,
the two socket fixes from the other session, the pane-socket notes, and my own socket-set change
from tonight. He is rebuilding from here.
Deliberately KEPT: dc6b623, "talk to two officers at once from one browser". That was a separate
ask that predates the tabs one, and the multi-server client, the server chips and the connections
store stand on their own without panes. Reverting it too is one more command if that was the
intent.
Collateral, worth naming: cb7ab55 carried an unrelated MusicPlayerHost change alongside its
socket instrumentation, so that came out with it.
Reverts, not a reset — every one of these is pushed and a second session is live in this repo.
Typecheck clean. 600 pass, 2 fail — cliamp path-escape and the pty transport test, both failing
identically before this and unrelated to chat.
What is NOT explained by this revert: the browser symptoms tonight. The server was verified good
throughout — two real turns streamed back through the public URL on both models, and the full
2,281-message history came through nginx intact. Whatever the client fault is, it is still
unfound, and the pre-tabs code is where it now has to be looked for.

Reported from two devices at once: typing on the iPad, reading the reply on the Mac. Sending
from the Mac produced nothing there. Both halves are one field.
A session held `ws`, a single socket, and `attachWs` assigned it. So the newest attach silently
took the turn away from whoever was already watching — and with a tab now holding up to three
panes, plus a phone and a laptop on the same conversation, several sockets per session stopped
being exotic and became the ordinary case. Now a Set, and every message goes to all of them.
`detachWs(sessionId)` was worse, because it named no socket: it nulled the field on ANY close.
A stale client going away therefore killed delivery for the client that had attached after it,
which is the "nothing happens on the Mac" half. It takes the socket now and removes only that
one, and the idle GC is armed only once nothing is left watching — otherwise a close would
collect a session another pane is still reading.
endTurnIfAgentIsGone takes the whole set for the same reason: a cut-off notice explains a
spinner that will otherwise never stop, and telling one of three clients leaves two spinning.
Typecheck clean. 600 pass, 2 fail — cliamp path-escape and the pty transport test, both
failing identically on master before this change.
Nobody has clicked it; the two devices that reported it are the test.

Two things.
The music now-playing restore is disabled on the web. The music sidecar is not running on
every machine that serves this app, so every page load fired /music/now-playing and logged a
503 in the console of a browser that was not there for music. Restoring a paused track is a
nicety; a permanent error on every load of every screen is not. The player is untouched — it
simply no longer asks what WAS playing.
And the chat socket now logs its own lifecycle: create, open, close with code and whether it
was stale or tearing down, every message received, and every message sent or queued with the
socket readyState. window.__officerWs = false turns it off.
This is instrumentation I should have added two rounds ago. A pane connects and then sits
silent, and I have now reasoned from this hook source three times without explaining it — the
browser says a socket closed and never says who closed it or whether the message left. The
handover doc says instrument before theorising and I did not follow my own note.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A pane on a remote server never connected: the console showed the socket closing before the
handshake finished, over and over, and the pane sat on Disconnected.
The stack named it — commitPassiveUnmountEffectsInsideOfDeletedTree plus
doubleInvokeEffectsOnFiber. The pane subtree is deleted and remounted, and the cleanup closed
the socket each time, while it was still CONNECTING. The replacement was then closed in turn.
React dev StrictMode double-invokes every effect on mount, so a fresh pane could churn
forever and never hold a connection.
The cleanup cannot tell a remount from a real unmount at the moment it runs, so it no longer
tries: the close is deferred a tick and cancelled if the effect re-runs. A remount reclaims
the live socket and the handshake completes; a real unmount has nobody to cancel it and
closes a frame later, which costs nothing.
Ruled out beforehand, by direct test: alpha accepts that exact key over wss on the first try,
with and without a browser Origin. The server was never involved.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A pane on a remote server reads fine and never connects its socket. Captured what has been
ruled out by direct test — the server accepts that exact key over wss with and without a
browser Origin, on the first try — so the next session does not re-derive any of it.
The remaining question is client-side lifecycle with several sockets mounted at once, and the
first move is instrumentation rather than theory: the console says a close arrived during
CONNECTING and does not say who called it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reported from the mac: the alpha pane opened and read fine, and sending produced nothing at
all. The console showed the socket closing before it was established.
send dropped the message — readyState !== OPEN returned, silently, no error and no retry — so
enter did nothing and no turn ever started. Alpha was never at fault: the same key opens that
socket from outside the browser on the first try.
The window is not rare. React dev StrictMode double-invokes effects, so every socket is
created, closed and recreated on mount, and a reconnect reopens it again; with three chat
panes there are three sockets doing it at once, and one is always briefly not OPEN. One pane
with one stable socket is why this never bit before.
Queued and flushed on open, in order, after the resume/attach handshake rather than in front
of it. Bounded at 50 so a socket that never returns cannot grow it without limit, oldest
dropped first because the newest message is the one being waited on.
The mobile chat app has had this queue all along, for this exact reason. I read it this
morning, wrote the reason down, and did not port it.

Reported: three panes, MacBook selected, click a chat and the body says "No sessions yet".
Two causes, both from panes bypassing the screen-level machinery on purpose.
The transcript was never loaded. The screen resolver fetches it and writes to the shared
channel, which a pane deliberately does not read, so the pane got {id, title, cwd} and
nothing else. It resolves its own now, from ITS server — two machines can hold the same uuid,
so asking the wrong one is not merely empty, it is wrong — and shows a spinner while it does
rather than an empty conversation.
And the row navigated. That put /chat/<id> in the address bar, which reset the list cwd to
the default — empty on that machine — which is the "No sessions yet" he actually saw. In a
pane the directory is the pane, not the route: three panes cannot share one URL. Outside a
pane everything still comes from the route exactly as before.

React #185, maximum update depth, and the page with it.
usePublishChatTabName named useGlobal setter as an effect dependency. useGlobal rebuilds that
setter every render, so the effect re-ran every render, set global state, and rendered again.
The publisher directly above it in the same file documents this exact hazard — I copied the
shape and not the reason.
Now through a ref, depending on the string alone, identical to usePublishPageTitle.
Also stabilised setPaneTarget with useCallback. It is handed to every pane as onChange and a
pane puts it in a context others read, so a fresh identity each render is the same loop
waiting for the first consumer that depends on it. The active tab key is read through a ref
so it never has to be a dependency.

Reported from the iPad: MacBook selected, and the directory picker still listed alpha
folders.
Three layers all defaulted to this origin — useFilesAPI, DirPickerModal and PwdSelector — so
the pane pointed one way and the pickers another. Same defect as browseDirectories in the
mobile app, found this morning: a path only means something on the machine it came from, and
offering another machine folders is worse than offering none, because picking one silently
runs the agent somewhere that does not exist.
The dir-picker cache is keyed by server too. Without it one machine tree is served from cache
under the other name, which looks like the fix not working.
Other useFilesAPI callers pass no server and are unchanged — the code editor and the message
bubble still read this origin exactly as before.

Click the active tab (or double-click any) to rename it inline — Enter commits, Escape
cancels, blur commits, and an empty value hands the tab back to its derived name. Same shape
as renaming a conversation, which is the gesture that already exists here.
The name outranks everything: chatTabName ?? label ?? override ?? route. It is the most
specific statement anyone has made about the page — more specific than the conversation
inside it, since there may be three, and more deliberate than a browser-tab name typed
earlier on a different screen.
Only a name you TYPED is published. Publishing the derived label would restate the title the
chat already publishes one tier down, and would then outrank a browser-tab name for no reason
the user could see. Cleared on unmount, or every other screen would keep being called by the
chat tab you last had open.
The rename field seeds from the typed name only, never the derived one — pre-filling a name
the user never chose makes Enter silently adopt it as if they had.

The iPad layout in the browser. A tab holds one to three panes; each pane is a whole chat —
its own server chips, its own list, its own conversation, its own socket.
The blocker was that chat:selected-session is ONE channel for the screen, so two detail
panels would have shown the same conversation. A pane now provides its own selection through
context and usePaneSelection prefers it; outside a pane the context is absent and the channel
behaves exactly as before, so the dashboard chat panel and the mobile layout are untouched.
Context rather than props because SessionList and ChatDetailPanel sit at different depths and
neither should know whether it is inside a pane.
A pane shows its LIST until something is open and the CHAT afterwards, with one way back.
Mobile can afford both at once inside a pane; three of those in a browser column would leave
nothing for the conversation itself.
The layout lives in one unscoped localStorage entry, deliberately not per server — a tab
holding one conversation from the laptop and one from alpha belongs to neither. Pane keys are
re-minted on restore, because keys from a previous page whose counter restarted at zero make
React reuse the wrong subtree and a conversation appears in the wrong column.
What this gives up, and it is the only thing: /chat/<id> still deep-links but can only open
in the first pane. With three conversations on screen there is no single one for the address
bar to name.
WorkspaceView and the fixed three-panel layout are gone from this screen; the panels
themselves are unchanged and still registered for the dashboard.
Typecheck, 602 tests and the SPA bundle all pass. Nobody has clicked it.

Not built, and deliberately so — this is the idea as it stood, with the spawn path read at dc6b623 so
the next person does not have to re-derive it.
The obvious approach is wrong here and the document leads with why: officer-agent is one process
holding many sessions, so a PM2 env block or anything set in user-instance.ts is shared by every agent
on the box and cannot distinguish them. The injection point that does work is claude-manager.ts:315,
where cleanEnv is built once today but is already a per-query() option.
Recorded alongside it: opencode cannot do this at all since the serve migration, because no process is
spawned per turn; and per-agent identity is attribution, not isolation — agents share one working tree,
so two of them in one repo will still fight over index.lock. That is the larger problem and it is named
rather than solved.

/app-store, built to the platform's own conventions: a locked WorkspaceView with two panels, the
selection in `?selected=` rather than a channel, and rows that are real links so cmd-click and a pasted
URL both work.
`?selected=` and not a /app-store/:id detail route, per docs/navigation-audit.md: this is a master list
with a live preview, and linking rows to a detail route would make the detail the whole page and destroy
the side-by-side. Both panels read the URL independently — the list and the detail cannot disagree if
neither is telling the other anything.
The install form is generated from the catalogue's fields rather than written per service, which is what
lets a sidecar shipping from its own repository present a form nobody here wrote. `existing` is first in
`modes` by catalogue rule, so the default selection is "I already have one" — the answer that avoids
starting a second copy of something already running.
States are distinguished rather than flattened. Blocked is amber and titled "Needs you", not an error:
everything worked and it is waiting for a token only a person can mint. Installed-and-enabled but with
a dead process shows a warning rather than a tick that lies. And the disable/uninstall copy says plainly
that data, configuration and tables are kept either way, because that is the question anyone hesitates
over before clicking.
The dock tile is CORE, not plugin-derived: the store is how every other feature arrives, so it must
never be one of the things that disappears.
Verified through the API the screen uses — 14 items, email reporting installed/enabled with its process
online, and /app-store present in the capability routes so the tile renders. NOT verified in a browser:
no page has been opened, so the rendering itself is reasoned rather than seen.

An instance may be on another host, behind a reverse proxy on 443 under a path prefix, on a tailnet
address, or on an arbitrary port because the usual one was taken. All ordinary self-hosted setups, and
each one a case where assuming otherwise produces a connection that fails later with no clue why.
Two places were sloppy about it. Jellyfin's placeholder read `http://localhost:8096` and Transmission's
`http://localhost:9091`, which quietly teach that a service must be local and on its project's default
port; both now show remote examples, and the field type says why. And nothing validated what was typed,
so a bare hostname or a URL with a token in the query string was stored as-is.
The rule: reject only what cannot work, normalise what is merely untidy, have no opinion about the rest.
No check that the host is local, that the port matches a default, or that the scheme is https — a
tailnet HTTP service is completely normal.
Trailing slashes go, because `${url}/api/x` otherwise doubles the separator: accepted by some servers
and 404 by others, which is the kind of difference that reproduces on one machine and not another.
Query strings go, because that is where a token hides, and it would sit in a column meant for a
location. Credentials in the URL are refused for the same reason — outside the encrypted secret, and in
every log line that ever prints it.
A missing scheme is named rather than called invalid: it is the commonest mistake, because it is what
people type into a browser.
Verified through the API: `memos.example.com` is blocked with the fix quoted back, and
`https://memos.example.com:8443/memos/` installs and stores normalised — remote host, non-standard port,
path prefix.

Found by breaking it. Installing a sidecar that was already configured replaced its connection row with
the new install's, silently repointing a working service somewhere else — during testing that took the
live Transmission from :9091 to a scratch container on :18092, and the only symptom was that it stopped
working.
Install now blocks instead of overwriting, naming both URLs and offering the choice. Blocked rather
than failed because there is a sensible answer and the user is the only one who has it: keep what is
there, or reinstall with `replaceConnection` to change it deliberately. Harmless on a fresh machine;
this is entirely for the one with an existing setup.
Verified against the live row: an install pointed at a different URL is refused and the original
connection is still there afterwards.
Also makes "do you already have one?" structural rather than a UI convention. Three tests: anything that
can provision must also offer `existing`, `existing` must come first in `modes` since that is the order
the prompt uses, and it must ask for a URL. A new entry added later cannot quietly offer only "provision
one for me" — which is how someone with a working Immich ends up with a second one and finds out when
two libraries disagree.

The chat app on the iPad does this already and this is its model, not the music app one.
Music keeps its active server — one library at a time is the right question there. Chat is
the exception: two panels side by side, one on the laptop and one on alpha, both live, no
switching.
The mechanism is one string. A panel holds a serverId; that same string picks the base URL,
the credential, the websocket host and the tail of the react-query key. Nothing global is
consulted when it is named, which is exactly why two can be live at once — there is no
active server in connections.ts at all, because there is nothing to switch.
THIS ORIGIN IS NOT IN THE LIST. It is represented by null, so every existing useClient()
call is untouched and adding a connection cannot break the app you are already signed into.
That property is what makes this shippable before anyone has tried it.
A second server is reached with an ofk_ API key minted there, verified against /api/auth/me
before it is stored — a URL typo and a key from the wrong machine are otherwise
indistinguishable from an empty conversation list an hour later.
Copied deliberately from the mobile code: the base URL is derived per call rather than
memoised (a cached one hands back whichever server was asked for first), the row stamps its
server onto the selection BEFORE navigating (or the resolver reads the transcript from this
origin, where two officers can hold the same uuid), and changing server clears the cwd and
the open conversation, because a path from the machine you left names nothing on the one you
arrived at.
Not yet opened in a browser. Typecheck and 602 tests pass, and the cross-origin request with
an API key is verified by curl, but no human has clicked any of this.

Tier two works end to end. Transmission installed through the API with a real container, verified on
this machine and then removed:
install preflight, provision, connect, schema, assets, process — container up, health-checked,
connection written from what the setup script printed
disable process stopped, then container Exited(0), data intact
enable container back up, then the process
uninstall container gone, install row gone, DATA UNTOUCHED — config, compose file, downloads and
watch directories all still present
Order matters in both directions and it is opposite each way. Enable brings the container up first: a
sidecar that starts before its upstream exists spends its first seconds failing health checks and
logging about a service that is merely not up yet. Disable stops the process first, for the same reason
in reverse.
`down`, never `down -v`, and no `--rmi`: the volumes are the user's data and the images are shared and
expensive to re-pull. Both are deliberate omissions, stated so nobody adds them later as a tidy-up.
Uninstall only brings down containers for `mode: 'provisioned'`. An `existing` install points at a
service the user runs themselves, and `down` there would stop a container Officer never started.
Every compose call tolerates a missing directory rather than failing. Three call sites can legitimately
arrive with nothing there — an `existing` install, a failed install that died before writing the file,
and a resumed uninstall re-running a completed step — and erroring would make a row impossible to
uninstall, which is the one state a user cannot escape.
Adds an `assets` step, before `process`: the dock reads manifests as soon as the install is recorded, so
an icon arriving a moment later shows as broken on the first render. And composeDir is recorded from the
install rather than derived later, because the directory is the user's and they may move it — uninstall
must not guess at a path it is about to run `down` in.

The serve is the only path now, so this is not a comparison against a fallback.
Split by what I have actually driven end to end versus what probes cannot answer. The second
list is the real testing: resume from history (never exercised against the serve, and my
pick for most likely broken), an idle session, a sidecar restart mid-turn, an officer restart
mid-turn, and two conversations at once — that last one because the live event stream is
global and a wrong sessionID filter would splice one conversation into another.
Known gaps are listed so they do not get reported as bugs, and the one silent failure mode
with a single cause — a turn producing nothing at all — points at the credential line from
boot, which I have chased twice already.

The serve is now the only way an opencode turn runs. runner.ts and its tests are gone, and
so is the OPENCODE_TURNS switch — there is no fallback engine any more, and the recovery for
a bad day is git rather than a config flag. Deliberate, and cheap right now precisely because
nothing depends on opencode yet.
What goes with it: mapRunLine and its NDJSON fixtures, the temp-file spill for --file image
attachments, the supersede-and-kill dance, the process watchdogs, the pidfile-adjacent child
tracking, and stopAllOpenCodeTurns. All of it existed to work around stdin being /dev/null.
Verified after deletion, with no env var set at all: tool call, tool result, 5 streaming
deltas, text and cost, through the real chat socket.
Also corrected the comments the deletion falsified rather than leaving them to mislead — the
module header, the wire contract description of opencode:run-streaming, and serve-runner own
header, which still announced itself as off by default.
One difference worth stating: shutdown no longer kills anything. Turns run inside the serve,
which is a separate process that survives us, so officer stops routing them and says so in
the transcript. When a subprocess ran the turn, failing to kill it orphaned it.

ALL_DOCK_ITEMS was a hardcoded list of everything, so a fresh machine offered Photos, Jellyfin,
Transmission and the rest — each leading to a screen reporting itself unavailable — and adding a sidecar
meant editing the shell. Neither survives sidecars shipping from their own repositories.
Split in two. CORE_DOCK_ITEMS is the baseline that exists on every install: chat, files, terminal, the
app's own screens, and Gitea, which is in the light profile because it fronts a remote instance.
Everything else is derived from installed sidecars' UI manifests, delivered with /capabilities.
Sent with the capability answer rather than fetched separately so the dock has ONE source. Two requests
means two moments, and a dock rendered between them shows a tile for something uninstalled or nothing
for something installed. Filtered by capability server-side too: a member is not handed the manifest of
a feature they cannot use, because "hidden in the client" is the kind of privacy that lasts until
someone opens the network tab.
Verified live. The owner — who bypasses every permission check — does not bypass this: /photos is absent
from routes and present in deniedRoutes because Photos is not installed. Flipping a row's `enabled`
makes its tile leave and return with no process touched.
Two things fell out. A manifest can declare extraTiles, because CalDAV is one sidecar presenting as
Calendar AND Contacts, and collapsing them to keep the model tidy would make the app worse. And
DEFAULT_DOCK_PATHS no longer pins /music: useDock drops a path with nothing behind it, so the default
dock came up a tile short on any machine where Music was never installed — a default that references an
optional feature is how an app looks subtly wrong on a fresh install for no stated reason.

runOpenCodeTurnOnServe ignored params.images entirely, which is defect B4 rebuilt on the new
path: the image renders in your own bubble and the model never receives it, with nothing
reporting a loss. Fixed before the path is switched on for anyone rather than after.
data: URIs, not file://, and that is measured — the wrong choice is accepted with a 200 and
then dies inside the turn with "Anthropic Messages media must contain valid base64". The
data URI round-trips and the model describes the image.
Strictly better than the subprocess path here: no temp file to spill and nothing to clean up,
because the bytes travel in the request.
Both prompt paths carry them — an ordinary send and a mid-turn injection. Verified end to end
through the chat socket with the serve engine on: a red png came back "**Red**", with deltas
streaming.

Real PNG icons are coming, so this is the path they arrive by: a sidecar ships its assets beside its own
code, and install copies them to public/plugins/<id>/ where one static route serves them.
Copied rather than served in place because a sidecar shipping from its own repository has its assets
wherever that repository was unpacked, which is not a path the web server can be taught at build time.
One predictable destination means the serving rule never has to know how many plugins exist or where any
came from. It also makes assets a property of the INSTALL: uninstall removes them, and a plugin nobody
installed serves nothing.
Needed a new route, and the reason is a trap worth recording. `publicRoutes` in server.tsx is built by
globbing ./public at BOOT, so anything copied there afterwards is invisible to it — the first install of
a plugin would show a broken image until the server was restarted, and "install it, then restart to see
the icon" is not an install. `/plugins/*` resolves per request, like /novnc/* and /vendor/* already do.
Unlike those two it answers 404 rather than 500 for a missing file: an unpublished icon is an ordinary
state on a fresh machine, and a 500 would put a red line in the log for every dock render.
Proven end to end with a real asset: slskd's icon moved from public/slskd.png into the sidecar's own
assets/, published against an ALREADY RUNNING server, and fetched at 200 with the right bytes and
content-type — 404 before publishing, no restart between.
public/plugins/ is gitignored: it holds copies, and the originals live with each sidecar.

Phase C server half, and a real flaw in phase B.
On the subprocess path a second message could only supersede — kill the process, start again,
lose the turn — because opencode run has no input channel. The serve takes another prompt
into the running turn, so a message arriving mid-turn is handed over with delivery steer and
the existing turn is left exactly as it is.
Keeping the same turn object is the load-bearing part. Phase B retired it and registered a
replacement, which stops officer routing events the serve is still producing while the serve
carries on regardless: output goes nowhere and the turn looks hung.
Verified end to end through the chat socket — sent a count to 50, injected a change of plan
eight seconds in, and BANANA INJECTED came back inside the same turn with deltas streaming
throughout.
No client change was needed. Officer composer already sends while generating; the difference
is only what the sidecar does with it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Real icons are coming and the manifest field already exists — slskd uses it. What is not decided is
where the bytes come from for a sidecar that ships from its own repository: /slskd.png works only
because it sits in the platform's public/, which a marketplace plugin cannot write to.
Records the three options and their trade — marketplace URL (loses icons offline), served by us from the
sidecar's directory (works offline, needs a route and caching), or a data URI (no fetch, but bloats
every manifest) — so the next person meets the question instead of assuming the current path generalises.

Two gaps, both from the same root: the app knew what an account MAY use and not what this server
actually HAS.
Availability is now subtracted server-side in the /capabilities answer. "Installed" is orthogonal to
"permitted" and the owner is subject to it — the owner bypasses every permission check, but a capability
they hold unconditionally still means nothing if its sidecar was never installed. Without this the dock
on a fresh machine lists Photos, Jellyfin, Transmission and the rest, each leading to a screen that
reports itself unavailable.
Computed on the server rather than intersected in the client, so the rule lives in one place: the dock
already reads `/capabilities`, and making it read a second list and combine them is how a member's dock
and an owner's dock drift apart. `unavailable` is returned alongside `deniedRoutes` because the two mean
different things to a UI — "not yours" versus "not here yet, install it".
A disabled sidecar counts as unavailable: disable stops the process and its container, so the feature
genuinely does not work, and leaving its icon would make disable look broken rather than effective.
Reading install state failing subtracts NOTHING, matching useCapabilities' deliberate fail-open.
Each entry now also carries a UI manifest — name, icon, colour, rootRoute, routes — because a sidecar
shipping from its own repository has to be able to say what it looks like. The icon is a NAME rather
than an imported component: a manifest has to survive being JSON from marketplace.officer.dev, which a
lucide import cannot make. Tests pin the manifests against the capability registry, so a tile cannot
appear for a route the server guards differently, and against each other, so two sidecars cannot claim
one root route.
No backfill, by decision: this is proven on a blank machine first and applied to alpha from scratch.

OPENCODE_TURNS=serve picks the new engine; unset keeps the subprocess, which is the default
and stays the default until this has been lived with. A bad evening should cost one restart,
not a revert. Claude is a different sidecar and is untouched.
Verified end to end through the real chat socket:
session:init -> tool:start(bash) -> tool:result -> assistant:delta x3 -> assistant:text
-> result, cost in=304 out=73
Those deltas are the first token streaming an opencode turn has ever produced in officer.
Stop is now an INTERRUPT: the turn ends and the session survives — verified by sending a
second prompt to the same session afterwards and getting an answer, which killing a
subprocess could never do.
Reads the LIVE global stream rather than the durable per-session one, because it is a strict
superset — same tool.called, tool.success, step.ended, text.ended, plus the deltas that are
the whole point. Global means one socket carries every session, so everything filters on
sessionID; one subscription is shared for the process rather than one per turn.
A turn ends on step.ended with finish != tool-calls. tool-calls is a step boundary MID-turn,
and treating it as terminal would cut every tool-using conversation in half.
delivery is stated explicitly as queue because it DEFAULTS to steer, which injects into a
running turn — wrong for an ordinary send, where two quick messages would merge into one.
Wiring steer to the button that means it is phase C.
What phase B does not do: read the durable stream. The sidecar still commits every event to
chat_session_events as it arrives, so durability is unchanged, but recovering a turn this
process never saw needs the ?after= cursor and is its own change.

The mapping half of the serve migration, written and pinned before anything depends on it,
so the switch-over is not also the moment the parsing turns out to be wrong. Nothing routes
through this — turns are still opencode run subprocesses, and the claude path is untouched.
The finding that matters: the serve publishes each turn TWICE, and reading the wrong one
makes it look like it cannot stream at all.
/api/session/{id}/event?after= durable, per session, replayable, durable.seq on every
event, whole values only, NO deltas
/api/event live, GLOBAL, ephemeral, carries text.delta and
tool.input.delta, no cursor
Same turn: 13 events durable, 21 live, the difference being 3 text.delta and 5
tool.input.delta. I probed the per-session one first and nearly recorded "no streaming" as
a fact — it would have removed the main reason to migrate. The split maps exactly onto what
officer already does for claude: durable to chat_session_events, live to UI deltas. The cost
is that the live stream is global, so a consumer must filter on sessionID.
tool:start is emitted on tool.called, not tool.input.started, because only tool.called has
the resolved input object — the input arrives as JSON fragments ({"comman) and a tool row
rendered with half-parsed arguments is worse than one that appears a moment later.
step.ended with finish tool-calls is a step boundary MID-turn, not the end of the turn, so
nothing terminal is emitted for it. Treating it as the end would cut every tool-using
conversation in half.
Fixtures are verbatim captures from 1.18.16. Replaying both real streams through the mapper
reconstructs the turn identically from each, with the reassembled deltas exactly equal to
the committed text and identical cost, and zero unrecognised events.

Crash-recovery state is not a gap: state:sync goes to the proxy capability and carries
proxySecret, and syncState/getCachedState have no callers at all. The row compared opencode
against a mechanism officer never consults. The real recovery story now exists and is better
— a sidecar restart stops in-flight turns and writes the reason to chat_session_events.
Identity is deferred, not forgotten: TODO.md already records it, and chat is kind execution,
which the grants API refuses to share at any level, so no member can reach it.
Also adds the serve migration plan, written while the facts are fresh and nothing is on
fire. It leads with the five things that will bite whoever implements it — per-request
location, the data wrapper, delivery defaulting to steer, silent failure on an unconnected
credential, and the session.next event names — because none of them are in the API docs and
each cost time to find today.
Phased so the old path stays one config flip away, and so warm-session lifetime (idle GC,
orphan adoption, the supersede race) is imported deliberately rather than discovered.

Bun.spawn throws on a missing or non-executable binary rather than resolving to a failed
process, and that throw escaped runOpenCodeTurn entirely — past the bookkeeping, out of the
sidecar command handler, with no opencode:event ever emitted. The browser sat on a spinner
nothing could end, because the code that ends turns had not been reached.
A wrong OPENCODE_BIN is the ordinary way to get there, so the message names the path it
tried: that is the difference between a fix and a debugging session.
Also records that messageCount is not a gap. SessionList renders an OpenCode badge in place
of the count for those rows, so the hardcoded 0 never reaches a screen, and computing a real
one would cost an HTTP call per listed session — the session record has no count field — to
populate something nothing shows.

opencode keeps credentials in two unrelated places. The CLI, opencode run and the legacy
/session surface read auth.json. The newer /api surface — the one with steer, queue,
interrupt and a resumable per-session stream — reads its own integration store and knows
nothing about that file.
With none connected it does not fail. It falls back to what needs no credential, the free
tier, and a request for a paid model is never executed: prompt accepted, admitted, prompted,
then no step, no error, no message, forever. That silence cost most of an afternoon and would
cost it again on every new machine — alpha included.
So the sidecar does it, rather than depending on someone having run a curl. Best-effort and
never blocking: turns go through opencode run, which reads auth.json and does not care.
Retried, because /api/health answers before the integration store is ready — the first
version of this shipped without a retry and failed on its very first real boot with a 500,
while the identical request succeeded seconds later. Only 5xx retries; a 4xx means the
request is wrong and repeating it just prints the same complaint six times.
Verified by deleting the credential, restarting, and running sonnet on the new pipeline with
no manual step.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Andre said his terminal opencode reaches paid zen models and suggested it was simply not set
up here. Correct, and my second wrong call on this page.
The new /api pipeline has its own credential store — /api/integration and /api/credential —
separate from auth.json, which is what the CLI, opencode run and the legacy /session surface
read. Ours had none connected, so it fell back to what needs no credential: the free tier.
One POST to /api/integration/opencode/connect/key fixes it, and it survives a serve restart.
sonnet and haiku both run on the new pipeline now.
The tell I had and did not use: the configured default is big-pickle, and a session with no
model ran on ling-3.0-tiny-free INSTEAD of the default. A pipeline ignoring its configured
default cannot use it — a credential symptom, sitting in /config/providers the whole time.
So steer, queue, interrupt and the resumable per-session SSE are all available with real
models. alpha needs the same one-time connect, and the sidecar should do it at boot rather
than depend on someone having run it by hand.

Follow-up to the /vaultwarden mount: the suffix is superfluous if officer can tell a
bitwarden client apart, and it can.
Most of vaultwarden surface does not collide at all — /identity, /notifications, /icons and
/events belong to it and to nothing here, so those are served at the root by path alone, no
sniffing. Only /api collides (vaultwarden has /api/settings/domains, officer has
/api/settings), and there the client says who it is: every bitwarden client stamps
Bitwarden-Client-Name, older ones Device-Type.
Trusting a client header is fine because this is ROUTING, not authentication — the worst a
forged one achieves is reaching vaultwarden, which then demands its own credential exactly
as it would have. Nothing is authorised by it.
Registered before /api so it wins for a bitwarden client, and narrow enough that an ordinary
officer request never matches. Verified: /identity reaches the proxy, /api/sync with the
header diverts, /api/chat/models without it still answers 401 from officer, and the SPA is
untouched. /vaultwarden still works for anything that prefers an explicit path.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
So the bitwarden browser extension can point here and the separate public vaultwarden
hostname can be taken down.
/api/vault cannot serve it: that router requires an officer session and REPLACES the caller
Authorization header with a server-held vaultwarden token. Right for our own clients — the
device then holds no vault credential — and impossible for a third-party client that gets
its own token from /identity/connect/token and has nowhere to put a platform JWT.
So a separate mount rather than a mode of that router: blending them would put an
unauthenticated branch inside the authenticated path. This one forwards Authorization
untouched and rewrites nothing.
Leaving it open is not a new exposure — everything here was already reachable at the
vaultwarden URL it replaces, behind the same master password, and officer cannot add a check
it has no credential for. It is also going behind tailscale.
Temporary. The end state is our own extension reusing @officer/vault, which already runs as
a plain JS bundle outside react native (the iOS autofill extension hosts it in
JavaScriptCore), against the /api/vault/session/login broker — then nothing addresses
vaultwarden directly and this mount is deleted rather than adjusted.
Needed its own entry in server.tsx: only listed paths reach hono and the rest fall through
to the SPA, so without it the endpoint answered 200 with the react shell — a missing route
that looks like a working one.

Regression from my own B7 change, reported within the hour: turns collapsing to "turn
completed without output" and coming back only on refresh.
B7 stopped resume-cursor defaulting an unidentified session to claude-code. Correct for the
durable cut-off row, wrong for adoption: useChat sends model only if modelRef.current is
set, so a reconnect without one is routine, not exotic. Declining to adopt left the socket
unbound to the live session, so the running turn output went nowhere — and a refresh looked
like a fix because it rebuilds from the durable log.
Adoption is about DELIVERY and must be generous; only the durable write needs certainty. So
adopt on the default again, mark it as an assumption, and skip the cut-off check on it.
That keeps B7 fixed — no false "agent went away" written against an opencode session — with
no unbound sockets.

Same shape as the claude side, which has never shown a live row without a name.
OpenCode titles a session from the conversation and does it well, but asynchronously — so
for the whole time a turn is RUNNING, which is exactly what /chat/live shows, the session is
still called "New session - <ISO>". Its own title wins the moment it exists; until then the
row falls back to the prompt that started the session.
Kept per sessionKey, first turn only, so it stays the name of the conversation rather than
following whatever was asked most recently. Dropped with the session id it sits beside.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
OpenCode titles a session from the conversation, but asynchronously — a finished turn of
ours ended up called "Single color in oc-red2.png", better than anything we would generate.
Until then the session is literally named "New session - 2026-08-10T15:44:17.178Z".
That window is exactly when a session is most visible: /chat/live shows turns that are
RUNNING, so the placeholder is what the panel catches, and a live row was being labelled
with a timestamp string.
Recognise it and treat it as untitled, so the good name arrives on its own. Passing --title
on the run was the other option and is worse: it fixes the transient case by permanently
replacing opencode own title with a truncated prompt, degrading it where it lasts longest.
A pattern match rather than startsWith, because a genuine title is allowed to begin with
those words. Two defects the tests caught while writing them: a whitespace-only title was
not treated as unnamed, and the mapping let undefined through where a string was required.

Bucket 1 lists them as No, and phase 4 put them behind the migration. opencode run takes
--file, so the path we already use carries them.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
B4 properly. The composer gate was the honest stopgap; this is the fix. opencode run takes
attachments with --file, so images work on the subprocess path we already use — the parity
doc had them down as phase 4, behind the serve migration, and they were not.
The bug was one omission: handleOpenCodeChat`s msg type had no images field, so the browser
sent them, the bubble rendered them, and they stopped at that signature. Nothing reported a
loss anywhere.
Attachments are paths, not inline data, so the sidecar spills each image to a temp file for
the length of the turn and removes it in settle — the same place every other per-turn
resource is released, so a killed or superseded turn cleans up too.
The load-bearing detail is `--` before the prompt: --file is an array option, so without the
separator the prompt is eaten as another filename and the turn dies with "File not found:"
followed by the entire message. Confirmed against the binary, and pinned by a test that
records argv from a stub.
list-models now reports each model own capability instead of a hardcoded false — opencode
publishes capabilities.input.image per model and nothing had ever read it. Defaults to false,
so a model that does not declare it keeps the affordance hidden.
Verified end to end: a red png sent over the chat socket to opencode/claude-sonnet-4-6 came
back "Red".

Email installs end to end now, which was the point of picking it as tier one: no container, no external
wiring, so the machinery is exercised without the provisioning half.
Verified against the running system, not asserted:
POST /api/app-store/email/install -> {"status":"installed","completed":["preflight","schema","process"]}
row -> email mode=config status=installed enabled=true
pm2 -> officer-email online
second install -> all three steps skipped, process not restarted
disable -> stopped
The server boots with the new router, which is the real test of the capability entry: totality.ts throws
before serve() if a mounted router has none, so booting IS the check passing.
pm2.ts shells out rather than importing pm2 as a library. PM2 is already the supervisor and the
ecosystem file is already the definition of how each process runs; a second thing in charge of that
means two supervisors disagreeing. It also means an owner can undo anything the app store did with a
command they already know. The one fact that matters: `pm2 start <name>` fails for a process PM2 has
never seen, so a first install starts from the ecosystem file with --only, and everything after goes by
name. Callers cannot know which case they are in, so startProcess decides.
Disable stops rather than deletes: a stopped process still shows in `pm2 list`, which is the honest
picture. Deleting would make a disabled sidecar indistinguishable from one never installed.
beginInstall returns the existing row instead of replacing it — that is what makes a retry a resume
rather than a re-provision — and clears lastError on the way in, so a UI never shows a stale failure
beside a working service.
The container half of enable/disable/uninstall is deliberately absent rather than stubbed silently: a
disable that leaves Immich running is a different thing from one that stops it, and the difference is
memory on the user's machine.

Not sonnet, and not variant. Swept models through the new pipeline: every -free model runs,
every paid one silently does not — haiku, sonnet and codex-mini all never start.
Ruled out: variant (sonnet advertises low/medium/high/max and echoes back an invalid
"default", which looked like the answer and was not — setting high explicitly also never
ran); credentials (zen key in auth.json plus ANTHROPIC_API_KEY); and the sidecar environment,
since the same process runs sonnet fine through opencode run.
So the new pipeline does not resolve paid-model credentials and says nothing, while run and
the legacy path authenticate fine. Upstream bug in an in-progress pipeline, not our config.
The fork stays blocked, but precisely: steer and queue are proven, and the day a paid model
runs there the migration is worth doing immediately. Re-run the sweep after each upgrade.

Implements the half of the template contract that faces the platform: answers go in as environment and
never as prompts, and results come back as OFFICER_RESULT_<KEY>= lines on stdout.
A line protocol rather than JSON because the same stream is the user's live log — it goes to a terminal
panel while the install runs. A script that must emit clean JSON cannot also narrate, and one that emits
both needs a framing convention anyway. This mirrors the @@officer:progress@@ sentinel the job runner
already uses, with the same rule: marker lines are plucked out, everything else passes through.
parseResults is pure and tested against the realistic near-misses: a line that MENTIONS the prefix
without starting with it, an empty value (Transmission with no RPC auth returns exactly that, and blank
is a real answer), a value containing `=` (splitting on every one would truncate a credential), and a
prefix with no assignment (a script bug — skipped rather than stored as a blank key).
Verified end to end against a real script: environment reaches it, stderr is forwarded (docker compose
writes its progress there, so dropping it would hide most of what a user watches), OFFICER_NONINTERACTIVE
is set so a script that would block fails loudly instead of hanging behind a web form, and a non-zero
exit is reported with the tail.
Notes an artifact rather than hiding it: the two streams are pumped concurrently, so the error tail can
interleave differently from real time. The live log is correctly ordered; only the summary can read out
of order. Serialising the pumps would make a script that writes heavily to one stream block on the other.

Install spans a container start, a health wait, an upstream API call and a process start. Any can fail,
and one of them — a token only a human can mint — is EXPECTED to stop the run. A straight-line function
has two bad options there: unwind everything, or leave a half-installed service that neither works nor
uninstalls, which is the state users cannot get out of.
So each step is named, completion is persisted, and running install again resumes. planSteps is a pure
function of (entry, mode) and the effects are injected, which makes ordering, resume, blocking and
failure testable with no Docker, Postgres, PM2 or Immich in sight. 15 tests cover exactly the behaviour
that only appears when something goes wrong.
Two rules are enforced by the plan rather than remembered at call sites: 'existing' never provisions, so
pointing at an instance the user already runs cannot start a container; and the members step is omitted
entirely for a service with no user concept, so a Transmission install does not report a step that did
nothing — which reads as a silent failure to anyone debugging a member's access.
`blocked` is a first-class outcome, not an error. For Immich the container is up and healthy and only
its own UI can mint a key; calling that a failure would make a normal install look broken and invite the
user to tear down a working container. The blocking step is deliberately NOT recorded as complete, so a
resume re-runs the step the human just answered.
