The chip could not be cleared by any means, and the toast could not be silenced
from the call site: useClient raises a GLOBAL onError before it throws, so
handling the failure where Stop is pressed was always going to be too late.
DELETE is idempotent. Asking for a job to stop when it is already gone has
achieved what was asked, so "no such task" and "already stopped" now answer 200
with `gone: true` instead of 400. No error, no toast, and the client clears the
chip on the flag.
A genuine refusal — a malformed id, a subagent with no fd to trace — is still
400.
The previous client-side check stays as a fallback, for a browser talking to a
server that has not been updated yet.

A chip stuck on "running" could not be stopped, killed or dismissed. Stop and
Kill both answered {"stopped":false,"reason":"no such task"} — there is no
output file, so no pid, so nothing to signal — and dismiss is only offered for a
task the tray believes has finished. A chip with no way out.
The server saying it cannot find the job is authoritative rather than an error
worth reporting: the chip was the last thing claiming it existed. Pressing Stop
now clears it.
Running chips still have no dismiss button of their own, deliberately — the
tray is the only thing watching a live job and a hidden one is a job you have no
way back to. This is the escape hatch for a job that is not actually live, and
it is reached by pressing the control you would already have pressed.

Your own messages were plain `whitespace-pre-wrap`, so pasting a fenced block
gave you back the backticks and none of the formatting — the one place in the
app where markdown was written and never read.
The usual reason to leave user text alone is that rendering changes what was
typed: `a_b_c` becomes italic, a leading `#` becomes a heading. That is real,
and the answer is the Copy button beside it, which copies the RAW text. The
original is one click away and nothing you wrote can be lost to a renderer.
Same remark plugins, components and sanitize schema as the assistant's,
deliberately — a code block should look identical whoever wrote it, and the
schema already strips script, iframe, object, embed and form, so pasted HTML is
inert either way.
The copy button appears on hover rather than always, unlike the assistant's: a
reply is something you copy out of, while your own message is something you
already have, so the control earns its place only when reached for.

A background job that ignores SIGTERM could not be stopped from the UI at all.
Stop sends SIGTERM to every pid holding the job's output file, and the second
click sent the same signal again — task-restart.ts already said "that is what
the second click is for", and it was not. Reported after a job hung in another
chat.
The button now escalates instead of a second button appearing beside it. Press
Stop, and if the job is still running three seconds later the same control
becomes Kill in the destructive tone, and sends SIGKILL.
Escalating rather than always offering Kill, because a permanent Kill button is
a second destructive control competing with the first, and people reach for it
by default — losing the graceful shutdown that usually works. The delay is the
same argument: a clean exit takes well under a second, so offering Kill at once
teaches everyone to press it first.
`?force=1` on the existing DELETE rather than a second route: same verb on the
same thing, differing only in how hard it asks. The member path escalates too —
one `kill -KILL` run as them, since fuser and the kill must both be their own
identity.
Stated in the button's own title rather than hidden: SIGKILL gives the process
no chance to release a port or take its children with it. That is the right
trade for a hang and the reason it is not offered first.

The Update button failed with "couldn't find remote ref main" on every checkout
made before the plugin repositories were standardised on `master`. It pulled
`origin <local branch name>`, and the local branch and the remote's default had
stopped agreeing — so the button could never work again on exactly the installs
that most needed it.
Now `git fetch origin HEAD` and a fast-forward: HEAD resolves to whatever the
remote's default is, so the local name stops mattering, and the merge applies it
to whichever branch the checkout happens to be on.
Fourth time today that naming a branch was the bug — the marketplace icon URLs,
the capabilities sync, the setup script, and now this. The rule that keeps
holding: fetch HEAD, never a name.
Verified by reproducing it — renamed a real checkout to `main`, pulled against a
remote that has only `master`, and it succeeded.

Uninstalling music left its grants in role_permissions. The keys stop existing
when the plugin unmounts, so the settings page — which loads every grant and
submits them all back — failed with "Unknown permission 'music'" for a row
nobody could see, edit or remove through the UI. Nothing could be saved again
without editing the database.
Two changes, because either alone leaves half the problem.
Uninstall now revokes the plugin's grants, across every role rather than one. A
deliberate exception to "uninstall deletes nothing": a grant is the PLATFORM's
record of who may reach the plugin, not anything the plugin stored. Reinstalling
means granting again, which is the honest behaviour — the alternative is access
silently returning.
And the write DROPS an unknown key instead of refusing the request, so every
server already in this state is unblocked without touching its database. That is
what the resolver already does on read, so the write now agrees with it. The
cost is that a typo in a hand-made API call is ignored rather than reported —
worth less than a settings page that cannot be used. The response returns what
was dropped, so it is not silent.

PORT, PUBLIC_URL and POSTGRES_URL are names half the software in the world
uses. Bun auto-loads .env into EVERY process started in the platform directory,
so a bare PORT reaches the sidecars, the tools they spawn and anything an agent
runs from here — and a bare POSTGRES_URL reaches things with no business
holding a database credential.
Four parts.
officer-setup now writes OFFICERDEV_-prefixed names, with the reasoning in the
generated file so whoever opens it later knows why.
Every consumer reads `OFFICERDEV_X ?? X` — eleven sites across the databases,
the DAV router, officer-url.mjs, os-user-postgres and two scripts. The bare
name is the FALLBACK, never the source, which is what makes this safe to ship
before every machine has been converted.
`bun run fix:env` converts a file in place. Idempotent, preserves comments and
`export`, leaves the value untouched including an `=` inside it, and refuses to
touch names belonging to other software — prefixing PATH or NODE_ENV does not
rename a variable, it deletes it.
And it runs on every restart from the server settings screen. There rather than
at boot because a restart is the one moment the file can be rewritten and take
effect in the same breath: the process about to start is the one that reads it.
Non-fatal, since the fallback means the worst case is that nothing changed.
gen-index reads either spelling out of the file directly, because it is run by
hand as often as by the setup and a bare shell has no .env loaded.
Verified by converting this machine's own .env: PORT, PUBLIC_URL and the
database all still resolve, gen:index still finds its URL, 1152 pass.

Only an address worked, though usernames are already unique and already
validated as /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$/ — which is what makes this safe: no `@`, so
the two namespaces cannot overlap and there is nothing to guess. An `@` decides
which lookup runs, and it decides it exactly.
The field is still called `email` on the wire, because every client sends that
name and renaming it would break them for nothing.
Fixed a latent bug while passing: the JWT took `email` from the REQUEST rather
than the row. Identical while an address was the only way in — and a username
in the `email` claim the moment it was not, leaving the DAV door, the managed
home path and everything else keyed on email looking up a user who does not
exist.
The login field is `type="text"`, not `type="email"`, or the browser refuses to
submit a username and validates someone out of an account they have.
`autoComplete="username"`, which is what password managers store beside a
password for a field that takes either.

The plugin and capabilities repositories were standardised on `master`, and
five places said `origin main` — the setup script's sync and the Update-all
path. Swapping them to `master` would be the same mistake wearing a new name.
`HEAD` resolves to whatever the remote's default is, so the question stops
being asked, exactly as it now does for the marketplace icon URLs. Only the
LOCAL branch still needs a name.
Third time today that naming a branch was the bug: the icon URLs 404'd on four
repositories created as `master`, and these would have broken the moment the
rest were renamed to match.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every available plugin drew a broken image on any server reading the remote
catalogue. The URLs said /raw/branch/main/, and four plugin repositories were
created on `master` — so those 404'd, and the others only worked by accident of
which branch somebody happened to use.
The comment above the builder already said "a repo whose default branch is
`master` gets a 404", marked [open]. It then happened. A warning in a comment
is not a guard.
Gitea resolves /raw/HEAD/ to whatever the default branch is, so the question
stops being asked. Verified against both spellings, and all 12 icons in the
live catalogue now answer 200.
It did not show on alpha because every plugin there is INSTALLED, and an
installed plugin's tile is served locally from /plugins/<name>/ rather than
from the catalogue.

Replaces the "19 files, one grep" placeholder with what the full sweep
actually found, fixed and deliberately left, and why.

24 panel and screen files had their fields sitting in a <div> instead of a
<form> — typing a value and pressing Enter did nothing, and the button was
the only way in. Fixed the sites that are a real form, a single field with
an obvious action, or a multi-field editor; left search/filter boxes and a
few genuinely ambiguous sites alone (see TODO.md for the full breakdown).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Typing a value and pressing Enter does nothing in any of them; the button is
the only way to submit. Found in gitea's connection screen and fixed there
only, because the rest are not one change: a search box has no submit and
wrapping it changes nothing, while a multi-field editor wants the useForm hook
rather than a hand-rolled onSubmit.

A plugin may declare a dependency no package manager carries — tea, Gitea's
CLI, is the first — and installRelease puts it in ~/.local/bin: no root, and
nothing downloaded from the internet sitting beside what the distribution
installed.
But PM2 hands the platform a login-less PATH
(/usr/local/sbin:...:/snap/bin), so the agent it spawns inherited one too, and
the binary the platform had just installed was invisible to the agent it was
installed FOR.
Which is exactly what happened on the first real test: gitea's affordance told
the agent to use `tea`, the agent tried, and got `command not found` for
something sitting in the owner's home. The affordance worked perfectly and the
advice it gave was impossible to follow.
Appended rather than prepended, so a system binary of the same name still wins
— `identify` in os-deps is what settles which one is really wanted.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
osDependencies could only say "this package, from this manager". Gitea's `tea`
is not in any distribution — it is a Go binary from dl.gitea.com — and Debian
has an UNRELATED package of that name: a graphical text editor. So the one
dependency gitea actually wants could not be expressed, and its marketplace
page showed no dependencies at all while music's showed two.
`release: { url, identify }` covers it. {os} and {arch} are filled from the
host in the spelling Go releases use, and the binary is fetched to
~/.local/bin — no root, and nothing a plugin downloaded from the internet
sitting beside what the distribution installed. Written to a temporary name and
moved into place, so a half-downloaded file is never on PATH under the real
one.
`identify` is the part that matters. Bun.which('tea') cannot tell Gitea's CLI
from the text editor, so presence was never the same question as identity —
and reporting the wrong program as satisfied is worse than reporting it
missing, because the install succeeds and every call afterwards fails
strangely. A binary that fails to identify is now `present: false, imposter:
true`.
Found while testing: Bun.which() with no options reads the PATH the PROCESS
started with, which under PM2 frequently excludes ~/.local/bin entirely. A
release binary fetched during an install would have been reported missing
seconds later by stillMissing, failing an install that had just succeeded. The
search now passes PATH explicitly, with ~/.local/bin first.
Verified against the real binaries on this machine: the genuine tea identifies,
a fake that prints text-editor output is caught as an imposter, and both
dl.gitea.com URLs (linux-amd64, darwin-arm64) answer 200.

The path takes `publisher` from the manifest verbatim, so a plugin published
by officerdev lands under officerdev/. `officer/core` is not a plugin at all —
it is the platform's own, shipped by the setup script from the capabilities
repository.
Two spellings marking two different things: platform versus publisher. Arrived
at by accident and kept on purpose. Recorded because the obvious tidy-up
removes the distinction rather than the inconsistency.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A plugin is a new SURFACE arriving at runtime, which is exactly the case
hand-written prose could never cover: install gitea and no agent learns that
`tea` is authenticated, or that plain `git` is the better tool for what git
already does. The plugin knows; nothing carried it across.
An `affordances/` directory in the plugin repository is copied to
capabilities/affordances/<publisher>/<plugin>/ on install and removed on
uninstall — the same shape as assets/ and publishAssets, deliberately, because
two mechanisms for "the plugin ships some files" would drift and that one is
already understood.
Namespaced by publisher because two plugins named `gitea` from different
publishers must not overwrite each other, and because an affordance in the tree
should say whose it is without being opened. It mirrors mountPrefix.
Uninstall removes the PLUGIN's directory, never the publisher's: every
first-party plugin publishes under one officerdev/, and taking that level out
because one was uninstalled would strip the rest silently. That is what the
tests are mostly about — a copy going wrong is obvious, this would not be.
Publishing is not fatal to an install. An affordance that failed to copy costs
an agent some knowledge; refusing the install over it costs the owner the
plugin.
Verified against the real gitea plugin: published, the loader saw
officerdev/gitea/gitea beside officer/core/image-rendering, uninstall removed
it and left core alone.

Eleventh extraction, and the only one that deleted its UI instead of moving it.
Seventeen files under apps/Gitea/ reimplemented a fraction of an interface
Gitea already has; the plugin renders the real one in an iframe over a
same-origin proxy.
Deleting rather than moving removed a platform change nobody now has to build:
useGiteaLocation read :owner/:name/:tab/:item from five route patterns where a
plugin gets two, so an as-is extraction would have required teaching the plugin
system to declare extra route patterns. Nothing inside an iframe needs a route.
Nothing working was lost. The router had been commented out of hono.ts since
2026-08-13 with api: [], and officer-gitea was running nowhere — the screen
rendered and every request 404'd, like soulseek, jellyfin and invoices before
it.
Gitea also stops being a CORE DOCK ITEM. It was hardcoded in CORE_DOCK_ITEMS,
the only installable feature that was, on the reasoning that it fronts a remote
instance and installs nothing locally. As a plugin its tile arrives from
assets/icon.png like every other — which is also why the icon added to
public/icons/ this morning was reverted rather than kept.
'gitea' stays in the ServiceName union: the connection lives in core
service_connections, and gitea is the reason that table has its "member rows
carry only a token and inherit the owner's URL" shape at all.
registry.test.ts's grantable-permission test named gitea as "the case this was
built for"; a plugin's permissions are registered at install and are never in
that compile-time list, so it now names a core one. catalogue.test.ts
re-anchored to vnc/notify.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
This reverts 061e2137.
The artwork is right, the location is not: gitea is about to become a plugin,
and a plugin carries its own icon in assets/ — published to /plugins/<name>/ on
install, and removed when it is uninstalled. Putting it in the platform's
public/icons/ makes it the one plugin whose tile the platform ships, and it
would keep being served after an uninstall.
Added here only because the plugin repository did not exist yet. It does not
yet, either — this goes back in as plugins/gitea/assets/icon.png once it does.

capabilities/ is the file-based item store, and most of it belongs to the
owner: the six item directories are created by the platform at boot and
extensions/tool-loader is written from platform source, so neither is tracked
anywhere. What IS tracked is the small set the platform ships — today one
affordance, telling an agent that markdown images render and that the USER'S
DEVICE fetches the URL, which it cannot discover from the filesystem.
That now lives in officerdev/capabilities, public so a fresh install can clone
it without credentials.
Two ways in. The setup script syncs it during the layout step — non-fatal, and
it says what an install without it costs rather than failing: agents go back to
guessing, which is what they did before this existed. And "Update all" on the
marketplace screen carries it alongside the plugins, because it is the same
question — get me what has been published since I installed — and a second
different gesture for it is one nobody remembers.
Three states in both places, and the third is the normal one on an existing
machine: a checkout is pulled, an empty directory is cloned into, and a
directory that already holds the platform's generated items gets a repository
initialised around them. UNTRACKED files never block a pull, because the
owner's own skills and tools living here is the ordinary state — only tracked
changes do.
`cloned` and `adopted` are reported in the UI where `pulled` is not: they mean
this machine had no affordances at all until the button was pressed.
Verified against the real checkout: sync reports pulled, and the loader finds
officer/core/image-rendering afterwards.

git + tea, drawn to the icon brief: a green voxel teacup with the branch diagram

The platform hosts the agent and never introduces itself. An agent gets a
shell, a filesystem and a prompt; everything about the CLIENT on the other end
has to be guessed. It writes , nothing renders, and
nothing says why — because an <img> carries no bearer token and it is the
user's DEVICE that fetches the URL.
servers/affordances/load.ts reads capabilities/affordances/ and compiles one
block; claude-manager passes it as systemPrompt.append with the claude_code
preset, so the harness keeps its own prompt.
Passed there rather than written to a file because it is the one place every
session goes through, owner and member alike. A generated CLAUDE.md cannot do
that — user-instance.ts deliberately refuses to write one for the owner, since
it would pollute the personal ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md they maintain themselves.
Read per session, not cached: capabilities/ is already read fresh each session,
so a plugin installed an hour ago is live on the next message. Synchronous
because createSession is not async, and making it so to read a few kilobytes
would ripple through every caller.
No filtering. Everything is loaded into every conversation, because the axis to
filter on is not one dimension — for image rendering it is what the CLIENT
renders, for gitea what TOOLING exists on the machine. Fine at two files, not
at twenty; TODO.md carries the argument.
Opencode gets nothing, and that is recorded as a gap rather than hidden: an
affordance that holds on one harness is the drift this removes. Deliberate —
opencode is paused pending v2 and the work would be thrown away.
Nine tests, aimed at the failure that matters: a file that silently does not
reach the agent looks exactly like one nobody wrote.

Design only — nothing reads any of this yet.
Markdown with YAML frontmatter, like every other item in capabilities/.
Frontmatter is for the PLATFORM, the body is for the agent: `name` becomes the
heading in the compiled block, `description` says when to reach for it and is
not sent, `version` is an INTEGER to match capabilities/agents/ rather than the
semver plugins use. A plugin-contributed affordance sits near both numbers and
they mean different things — the integer is the revision of that text, the
semver is the plugin's.
They live at capabilities/affordances/<publisher>/<plugin>/, with `core` in the
plugin slot for the platform's own. A plugin ships an affordances/ directory
and install copies it in — the same shape as assets/ and publishAssets.
No `surface` field. It was drafted and dropped: for image rendering it would
mean what the CLIENT renders, for gitea what TOOLING exists on the machine.
Two axes wearing one name. Everything loads unconditionally until that is
worked out, which is fine at two files and will not be at twenty — and this
codebase has already been bitten by a field that validated itself and was never
consumed (unauthenticatedPaths).
TODO.md carries the build list and the two deferred questions, including the
honest one: "declared where implemented" is the rule, and a hand-authored file
in a repository is not that. Accepted because prose reaches every harness and a
registry reaches one.

DESIGN, NOT BUILT. No registry, no API, nothing to call. Written down now
because the name and the boundary are the parts that get expensive later, and
because a plugin author who invents a different word for this is hard to merge
with afterwards.
An affordance is what the surface on the other end offers the agent — declared
by the code that implements it, read at runtime. Not what the agent can do;
what the client will honour.
The worked example is images. Officer's chat DOES render markdown images, but
an <img> carries no bearer token, so it can only load what the browser can
fetch unauthenticated. A fresh agent knows none of that: it writes
, nothing renders, and nothing says why. That knowledge
currently lives as prose in a hand-written CLAUDE.md on one machine, phrased as
a workaround ("use a public URL") rather than as the constraint — with nothing
keeping the two in sync.
Prose is the wrong container for three reasons: it drifts from the code, it is
per-machine, and a plugin cannot contribute to it. The last one is the point —
a plugin IS a new surface arriving at runtime, and no agent learns it exists.
The rule that makes it worth building: an affordance is declared where it is
implemented, like permissions/registry.ts. A list maintained elsewhere is the
CLAUDE.md problem again with a better name.
`capability` and `skill` were both already taken here, twice in skill's case.

Both were redrawn to the icon brief today, so the dock shows the same voxel mark
the phone apps do rather than a lucide CalendarDays and Contact.
tile: 'bare' for the same reason a plugin's artwork gets it — the art brings its
own frame, and a coloured square behind it reads as a mistake. color stays
because the active glow, the indicator dot and the settings tint all still use
it.
These two are core rather than plugins, so the files live in public/icons/
alongside the duck rather than arriving through publishAssets.

There was no update path. fetchPlugin REFUSES an existing directory — cloning
over one is how uncommitted work disappears — so install was a one-way door,
and the answer to "my plugin changed" was uninstall and reinstall, which drops
its tables on the way past.
An update is a git pull and then the ORDINARY install path. installPlugin
already skips the clone when the directory is present and re-runs everything
else: os dependencies, schema push, assets, the ecosystem entry, the sidecar,
the remount and the frontend rebuild. So there is no second implementation of
"apply a plugin" here to drift from the first.
Two refusals, both about not destroying work. A dirty working tree is refused
rather than stashed or force-pulled — every plugin directory on a developer's
machine is a live checkout, and this repository's own are edited in place.
Non-fast-forward is refused for the same reason: a diverged local commit is
somebody's work and merging it automatically is not the platform's decision.
The per-plugin button replaces one that was quietly broken: it appeared only
when `outdated` and called `install`, which cannot fetch, so it re-applied
stale code. Nothing bumps a version today either, so with everything pinned at
1.0.0 that flag never fires and the button never appeared. Now always offered,
and it pulls.
Update-all is a plain POST rather than the streaming door: twelve interleaved
step streams is not a readable log, and the useful answer is the summary. It
runs sequentially — each update pushes schema, republishes assets, rewrites the
ecosystem file and rebuilds the frontend, and two of those at once is a race
over one file each. One failure does not stop the rest, and failures are named
with their reason, because "2 failed" sends someone to the terminal.

Missed when calendar and contacts became core in 9c309c5a: the routers were
uncommented but `export * from './dav/schema'` was not, so drizzle never saw
the table and bun db:push never created it. Alpha surfaced it as an unhandled
"Failed query: select ... from dav_app_passwords" on every boot.
The table holds the DAV app passwords a phone authenticates with, so the sync
door was mounted, answering 401 with a correct WWW-Authenticate header, and
incapable of ever accepting a credential — nothing could mint one.
Same shape as the hazard already recorded for the wallet, soulseek and
jellyfin: a schema commented out of the barrel is invisible to db:push, which
silently means the table is never created and, where one already exists,
that it would be dropped.

assets/splash.png is discovered by presence, published by the same copy that
already took the whole assets directory, and carried on DiscoveredPlugin beside
icon.
The platform draws no splash — a plugin has no launch. It is carried because the
plugin repository is where a product's artwork lives now, and the phone app that
fronts the same product needs somewhere to read it from that is not a designer's
folder. The pair is the point: the icon is a reduction of the splash's world,
and keeping them together is what stops them drifting.
Publishing no longer gates on the icon alone, which left a plugin shipping only
a splash serving nothing.

Tenth extraction, and the first where the blocker was a permission rather than
a path. The wallet was kind: 'admin' — owner only, never grantable — and plugin
permissions are always kind: 'app'. mount.ts forces that and the manifest has
no field for anything else, deliberately, so a plugin cannot ask to be
restricted. Extraction therefore could not preserve admin.
Raised before moving any code, because turning "the server owner's bitcoin"
into a row in the grants list beside Photos and Music is the kind of change
nobody notices until someone ticks it.
Made anyway, and the objection inverts: every wallet query is scoped by
user_id, taken from X-Officer-User which the platform injects from the session,
so granting the permission gives an account its OWN wallet rather than access
to anyone else's — including to the owner, whose bypass covers permission
checks and not query scoping. kind: 'admin' was single-user thinking.
Named bitcoin-wallet, not wallet: appName drives route, API prefix, table
prefix and install key together, so the name should say what it is. Tables are
bitcoin_wallet_*; the prefix guard normalises the hyphen. Verified free before
committing to it — no wallet table exists on any server, and db:push would
treat a rename as a drop plus a create.
registry.test.ts re-anchored: `wallet` was its canonical kind: 'admin' fixture
and its no-selfService fixture. Now user-admin/server-admin and terminal, with
a note that a plugin's permissions are always `app` — which is exactly why this
one needed a decision rather than a default.

Their tiles were contributed by the app-store `caldav` catalogue entry, so
deleting that entry in 9c309c5a took them with it. The routes kept working
while the dock and the dock settings list went silent — the same
silently-half-working shape as the plugin permission collision, arrived at from
the other direction: there the surface existed with no route, here the route
exists with no surface.
Now in CORE_DOCK_ITEMS, which is read by BOTH DashboardLayout and
DockSettings — one list, so the dock and its settings screen cannot disagree
about what exists. That is also why the user saw both symptoms at once.
Calendar joins DEFAULT_DOCK_PATHS since it is now baseline functionality every
install has. Contacts deliberately does not: it is available in dock settings,
but two tiles for one sidecar in everyone's default dock is a crowded default
rather than a useful one.

Calendar and contacts became core in 9c309c5a. A FRESH install gets radicale
from machine-setup and officer-caldav from CORE_PROCESSES; an existing one gets
neither from a git pull, because a pull changes nothing outside the repository.
So without this, pulling that commit leaves /calendar mounted, rendering, and
talking to nothing — the silent half-working failure this codebase keeps
getting bitten by, and the same shape as the plugin permission collision fixed
in ee321f49.
Best-effort and AFTER serve(), never blocking: a held apt lock, an unreachable
mirror or a machine without passwordless sudo must not stop Officer starting.
Uses the existing os-deps machinery rather than a second spelling of "install a
package" — including `sudo -n`, which fails fast instead of hanging on a prompt
no one can answer under PM2. When it cannot install, it logs the exact command
to run by hand.
addCoreProcess is new and deliberately narrow. The platform normally never
writes a core entry — it does not know the core list, and duplicating
CORE_PROCESSES here would be a second copy to drift. The exception is exactly
this: a commit that MOVES something into the core set, which an existing
install has no other way to learn about.
Verified on this machine rather than assumed: radicale was absent, the guard
installed it (3.1.8), and a second run reported `present` and wrote nothing.
The install path is not unit-tested on purpose — a test that really ran
apt-get would modify the machine running it.

Reverses the 2026-08-13 decision to make caldav an app-store entry. Three
reasons it does not belong there.
It is not an integration. Photos-via-Immich or torrents-via-Transmission assume
you already run the thing; a calendar assumes nothing, and a personal server
without one is missing a baseline rather than an optional app.
It needs TWO top-level routes, /calendar and /contacts, and a plugin gets one —
derived from its appName, which is what makes it structurally impossible for a
plugin to shadow a core route. Nobody thinks "I'll open my dav", so collapsing
them under /dav was the wrong trade, and weakening the namespace guarantee to
allow two was a worse one. As core routes the question does not arise.
And it never actually needed Docker. Radicale is a ~2MB Python package;
sidecar/caldav/radicale.ts already spawns it directly on loopback with
http_x_remote_user. The container came from the app store making everything a
container, not from anything Radicale requires.
So: the routers are mounted again (/caldav for the UI's JSON door, /dav for app
passwords, the top-level /dav sync door and the two .well-known redirects),
officer-caldav joins CORE_PROCESSES, radicale joins the machine-setup package
list for all four package managers, and the catalogue entry is gone.
members.test.ts re-anchored a fifth time — caldav was one of two `accounts`
services and memos is now the last. Noted in the test that the sixth time
should be a literal fixture instead.
Verified: assertPermissionTotality accepts /caldav and /dav, tsgo clean,
1085 pass. NOT yet verified against a real client — radicale is not installed
on this machine.

Ninth extraction, third resurrection. Switched off since 2026-08-13 with the
permission reduced to api: [], so assertPermissionTotality was satisfied, the
server booted clean, and every panel request 404'd. Closes the same data hazard
as jellyfin and soulseek: invoiceshelf/schema was commented out of the drizzle
barrel.
Named `invoices`, not `invoiceshelf`. The appName is THE id — API prefix,
frontend route, table prefix, sidecar suffix, install key — and before
extraction the API (/api/invoiceshelf) and the screen (/invoices) had drifted
apart, which was harmless only while they were separate hardcoded strings. The
route is the part a person sees, and the permission key and label were already
`invoices`, so the API prefix was the odd one out. Cost three call sites and a
table rename to invoices_accounts, which was free only because the table
existed on no server — verified before deciding, not after.
members.test.ts re-anchored again, this time to caldav and memos: services with
no extraction planned. That assertion has now been re-pointed four times by
services leaving for plugins/, which is the whole reason installer.test.ts was
made literal earlier tonight.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three times in one day — photos, soulseek, jellyfin — the same failure on the
same machine: install reports success, the dock tile appears, the frontend
rebuilds with the route in it, and every request 404s. The plugin never mounted,
because setPluginPermissions refused its key as already core.
That refusal was correct and useless. It happens at mount time, after the
install has reported success, and its only trace is one line on stderr that
nobody is reading. The cause is always the same: the key was a CORE permission
until the extraction commit, so a server whose platform predates that commit
still owns it. The fix is always git pull, and nothing in the product said so.
installPlugin now checks the manifest's keys against the core registry before
anything is written, and refuses with a message naming the colliding keys and
telling the operator to pull the platform and restart. Placed with the other
pre-flight checks, so it changes nothing that would need undoing.
corePermissionCollisions is exported from the registry rather than reimplemented
in install.ts — the core key set has one owner.

Eighth extraction, second resurrection. Same shape as soulseek: hono.ts had the
router import and its PROTECTED_MOUNTS entry commented out since 2026-08-13 and
the permission reduced to api: [], so assertPermissionTotality was satisfied,
the server booted clean, and every panel request 404'd. Also closes the same
data hazard — jellyfin_servers was absent from the drizzle barrel, so bun
db:push would have dropped it.
No frontend call site needed repointing: mountPrefix derives /jellyfin from the
appName, which is what the router already hardcoded.
Test fixtures fixed properly rather than re-anchored again. Extracting jellyfin
broke 18 tests, the FOURTH extraction in a row to break the same files — photos
and transmission yesterday, slskd an hour ago, jellyfin now. installer.test.ts
now builds literal CatalogueEntry fixtures and asks the catalogue nothing: it
pins planSteps and runInstall, which are installer logic, and a service leaving
for plugins/ says nothing about whether the installer still plans the right
steps. catalogue.test.ts stays the place real entries are checked well-formed.
members/catalogue/preflight re-anchored to memos, which has jellyfin's exact
shape.
The .prettierignore rule for the vendored hls.mjs moved into the plugin rather
than being left behind naming a deleted path.

Seventh extraction, and the first of something that was already dead. Soulseek
had been switched off since 2026-08-13: hono.ts carried the router import and
its PROTECTED_MOUNTS entry commented out, so createSidecarProxy never ran and
registerProxiedPrefix was never called; officer-slskd was not in the ecosystem
at all. Because the permission entry had been reduced to api: [], the totality
check was satisfied and the server booted clean — the UI rendered and every
request 404'd. Worth naming: the boot check proves every MOUNTED prefix has a
permission, and is silent about a feature that mounts nothing.
Also closes a live data hazard: schema.ts had the soulseek export commented
out, so the three tables were absent from the drizzle barrel and bun db:push
would have dropped soulseek_favorites, soulseek_browse_snapshots and
soulseek_browse_dirs on any server holding them. rebuild-soulseek-tree.ts
documented the workaround rather than the problem; deleted with the rest.
The connection stays in core service_connections under service 'slskd' while
the mount is now /api/soulseek. Those differ on purpose.
Test fixtures: slskd was canonical in three app-store tests, the third
extraction running to break them. installer.test.ts now builds a literal
fixture instead of reaching into the catalogue — it pins planSteps, which is
installer logic, and no catalogue entry is both provisioned and members:'none'
any more. catalogue.test.ts and members.test.ts re-anchored to vnc/notify/gitea.
Unrelated but mine: check:theme caught 5 palette classes I introduced in
CommandHQ earlier tonight against a baseline of 0. Converted to bg-success /
bg-warning. check:theme is not part of bun test, which is why the green suite
never showed it.

The script imported DATA_PATH and USER_DIRS from data-path.ts and then
reimplemented the mkdir loop without the chmod that module's own
provisionUserDirs applies — 711 on the account root, 700 on each subdir. A
hand-provisioned account would have come out 755 at the default umask, where a
UI-provisioned one is closed. Its header comment warned about exactly this
drift while being an instance of it.
Nothing was ever created that way here: every account on this box was made by
the create-account handler and is correctly 711/700. This is a latent
divergence between two paths that claim to produce identical accounts, not
damage to repair.
Calls provisionUserDirs(email) instead. Two consequences worth naming:
re-running now re-asserts modes on existing directories, so it is also the
repair; and DRY_RUN skips the call outright rather than gaining a dry-run mode
in the real provisioning path to serve a script.
Verified: dry run creates nothing, a fresh root comes out 711/700, and a
directory chmod'd to 755 is restored on the next run.

AskUserQuestion has no answer channel: it resolves itself the moment it is
called, returning "The user did not answer the questions." before the buttons
have painted. QuestionActivity gated its options on `message.output === undefined`,
so that self-resolve disabled every option on every question, always. Reported
from real use — muted text, no-entry cursor, nothing clickable.
The output means the tool call is over, which is true and irrelevant. The answer
travels back as an ordinary chat message. `sent` is the only real latch.
The test was the worse half: it asserted the greyed-out state was correct, using
the literal self-resolve string as its fixture. Code and test were wrong in the
same direction, so a green suite sat on top of a feature that had never once
worked. Inverted it, and verified it fails against the old logic rather than
just passing against the new.

Sixth extraction, straight after photos. Everything transmission now lives at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/transmission.
Deleted, not commented: the sidecar, the api router, the Transmission app (28
files including detail/ and dialogs/), the screen, the App.tsx route pair, the
Dashboard barrel line, the usePageTitle rule, the AppRegistry wiring, the
officerdev barrel re-exports, the permission registry entry, the hono.ts import
and mount comments, and the app-store catalogue entry.
No database change: transmission owns no tables. Its connection lives in
service_connections, a core table it now depends on from outside — a real
coupling, recorded in the plugin's own PLUGIN.md rather than left to be
discovered.
── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──
Transmission was the canonical `members: 'none'` fixture — a single-tenant
daemon with no user concept — across three app-store test files. slskd has the
identical shape, so the assertions moved there. Deleting them would have
quietly dropped coverage of the no-members install path along with the plugin,
which is the same trap the vault extraction hit with `members: 'invite'`.
── Vocabulary swept, per the runbook ──
Six screens and two App.tsx comments pointed at `/photos` or `/transmission` as
the worked example of the Workspace/Panel shape. Both are plugins now, so those
pointers dangled at code no longer in the tree. Repointed at /command-hq and
/soulseek, which are core.
bunx tsgo clean. 1080 pass / 0 fail.

Fifth extraction, and the clean case: no reverse dependency, configuration
already server-side, frontend already panels. Everything photos now lives at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/photos.
Deleted, not commented: the sidecar, the api router, the db directory, the
Photos app (25 files), the screen, the App.tsx route pair, the Dashboard
barrel line, the usePageTitle rule, the AppRegistry wiring, the officerdev
barrel re-exports, the permission registry entry, both database barrels, the
hono.ts import comment, and the app-store catalogue entry.
The catalogue deletion is required rather than tidying — the trap the runbook
records as having bitten twice. permissionAvailability() derives from
sidecar_installs, which a plugin never gets a row in, so a leftover entry makes
the permission permanently 'unavailable' and withholds the route and dock tile
on a server where the plugin is installed and working.
── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──
Photos was the canonical app-store fixture across four test files, chosen for
being existing|provisioned with members: 'accounts'. Jellyfin has the identical
shape, so the assertions moved there — they are about the installer, not about
photos, and deleting them would have quietly dropped coverage of the provisioned
install path along with the plugin.
One loss worth naming: Immich's `provisioned` install mode went with the
catalogue entry. Docker provisioning for plugins does not exist yet, so photos
is point-at-your-own-instance until it does.
bunx tsgo clean. 1080 pass / 0 fail, unchanged.

The model has been asking questions in Officer all along. None of them ever
rendered.
MessageBubble dispatched the interactive question UI on
`toolName === 'question'` — OpenCode's name for it. Claude Code's tool is
`AskUserQuestion`, so every question from a Claude session fell through to the
generic ToolActivity and printed its input as JSON in a bubble. Nothing threw,
nothing logged, and the payload was arriving correctly the whole time, so it
read as "the model never asks" rather than as a bug. Both harnesses send the
same shape under different names; only the name was ever wrong.
── What this deliberately does NOT do ──
It does not make the agent wait. Checked against the installed SDK rather than
assumed: AskUserQuestion is implemented inside the bundled cli.js (with its own
"No answer provided" fallback), appears nowhere in sdk.d.ts, and there is no
control method or hook that can return a tool RESULT. canUseTool and PreToolUse
can only allow or deny, and canUseTool is shadowed entirely under
bypassPermissions, which is how Officer runs. So the tool self-resolves as
unanswered the moment it is called, whatever the client does.
The two ways to pretend otherwise — forging a tool result, or smuggling the
choice through a denial reason — both lie to the model about what happened.
Neither is here. The question is rendered, and the answer goes back as the next
message, exactly what a person would have typed. The tool contract is untouched.
The cost is real and stated in the file: the agent will usually have carried on
and reads the answer a beat late. The day the SDK grows an answer channel, this
component is the piece that already knows how to ask.
── Also fixed while in there ──
State was single-valued and shared across questions, but the schema allows up to
four. With more than one, the first click sent a partial answer and locked the
rest. Now keyed by question index: nothing is sent until every question has an
answer, and a multi-question reply is labelled by header so it cannot be
ambiguous. Multi-select joins with commas, which is what the tool's own output
schema documents.
`multiSelect` (Claude Code) and `multiple` (OpenCode) are normalised in one
place rather than at each read site.
6 tests pinning both harness shapes, the multi-question rule, the client-side
"Other" escape hatch (both schemas tell the model not to offer one, because
providing it is the client's job), and that an already-resolved question is
read-only.

Cost an afternoon on the vault extraction and presented as far as possible from
its cause: every POST through /api/vault answered "sidecar unreachable" while
bodyless GETs worked, so it read as an intermittently dead sidecar rather than
a consumed request stream.
bodyParser runs across the protected router and reads JSON and form bodies,
disturbing the stream; a catch-all that then forwards ctx.req.raw.body forwards
something already consumed, Bun's fetch throws, and the catch reports the
sidecar as down.
createSidecarProxy registers its prefix itself, so core sidecars and any plugin
using it never meet this. Vault proxies by hand and the extraction dropped the
registration. Found by the mobile dev, who went looking on the server side
after the app kept failing where the browser extension did not — the split was
the clue, since the extension's routes are mounted above the protected router
and never see bodyParser at all.
Verified before recording: registerProxiedPrefix and isProxiedPath do what the
fix assumes, bodyParser consults them, create-proxy.ts:83 registers for core,
no vault handler reads ctx.get('body') (all three call ctx.req.json()), and the
registered prefix covers every path the mobile app uses while still not
matching /api/vaultwarden.

Restores the setup the vault extraction regressed: paste the bare Officer URL
into a Bitwarden client and log in. Nothing else.
The extraction moved the Bitwarden door to /api/vault/bw, which is correct and
unusable — a client derives /api, /identity, /icons and /notifications from ONE
url it is given, so a prefixed base turns setup into five fields copied by hand
into an advanced pane. That is not a feature anyone completes, and the owner
said so. My regression, my wrong call: I treated "a plugin cannot serve
top-level paths" as a fact about the platform when it was a fact about what had
been built.
Two additions, both manifest-declared, both narrow:
unauthenticatedRootPaths single lowercase segments (`/identity`), served
above the gate. Refused if reserved (`/api`,
`/auth`, `/plugins`, `/dav`, …), refused if another
plugin already claims it, refused if it is anything
more structural than one name.
protocolHeaders hands `/api/*` to the plugin when the request
carries one. Needed because /api is the one
namespace both servers claim — Vaultwarden has
/api/sync, Officer has /api/chat — and the path
cannot tell them apart, so the client says who it
is. ROUTING, not authentication: a forged header
reaches the plugin, which demands its own
credential, and cannot reach anything of Officer's.
The worst it does is cost that caller Officer's API.
The Bun route table gets an entry per claimed segment, built from the plugin
set — `refreshPluginMounts` runs at line ~204, long before serve() at ~378, so
the claims are known. This is the constraint I earlier asserted made the whole
thing impossible, without checking it. The real cost is smaller and stated in
the code: a plugin claiming a root path is not fully installed until
`pm2 restart officer`, because the table is fixed once serve() is called.
Every claim is logged at boot by plugin — a root path answering without a
session should not be something you read a manifest to discover.
13 more tests (30 in the file): reserved segments, malformed segments, two
plugins colliding, and segment-not-substring matching so `/identityx` never
matches `/identity`. Suite 1074 pass / 0 fail.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`unauthenticatedPaths` has been in PluginManifest since it was designed, with
validation (`publicPathProblem`), a long docstring, and a promise that
`assertPluginPublicPaths` re-checks it at boot. Nothing read the field. No
function by that name existed. Kiosk, the plugin it was written for, declares
none — so it validated, documented itself, and did nothing, and no plugin has
ever actually been served above the gate.
Vault is the first real user: a stock Bitwarden client speaks Vaultwarden's
protocol and has nowhere to put a platform JWT, so it cannot use the
authenticated /api/vault router at all.
── What was missing, and where it had to go ──
Two places, not one, and the second is the one that matters:
• the permission gate skips declared paths — but that gate only runs when a
token WAS presented (`payload && !isOwner && …`), so it is what stops a
valid non-owner reaching something ungranted.
• `protectedRouter.use(userMiddleware)` is what stops an ANONYMOUS request.
A path meant to answer without a session has to skip that too, so it is now
conditional on the same predicate. Fixing only the gate would have left
every declared path returning 401 — passing its own tests and failing in
the one case it exists for.
── Containment ──
Paths resolve against the plugin's own mount (`/api` + mountPrefix + path) and
containment is re-checked there, so a plugin cannot name `/auth` or another
plugin's routes however it edits its manifest. Refusal is per-path: one bad
entry does not take the good ones with it, and each is logged by name.
Matching is on segments rather than characters — `/api/vault/bwx` must not
match `/api/vault/bw/*`, the same class of bug `permissionForApiPath` guards
against with `/user` vs `/username`.
Every plugin with public paths is logged at boot: a route that answers without
a session should not be something you have to read a manifest to discover.
17 tests, pinning the containment rules rather than the happy path. Suite
1061 pass / 0 fail.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The suite has been carried at "1038 pass / 7 fail, same as baseline" for long
enough that the count became the thing being checked instead of the tests. All
seven turned out to pin a contract that changed on 2026-08-13, when a batch of
features were switched off pending plugin extraction. None was a defect in
running code; two were tests that could no longer detect what they were written
to detect.
── Five in registry.test.ts, one root cause ──
Switching a feature off comments out its `api:` line but keeps the permission
(the frontend route still needs gating, and existing role grants have to keep
meaning something). Eleven permissions therefore declare no API prefix now.
• `REAL_WS` still listed 'desktop', which server.tsx stopped serving. The
file's own header says it mirrors that map by hand and that this is "the
drift this file keeps catching" — it caught it, and the failure was read as
baseline for five days.
• 'refuses a claim on a router that no longer exists' withdrew /gitea, which
claims nothing any more, so nothing threw. The test could not fail for the
right reason OR pass. Re-pointed at /tasks, which is core and mounted.
• Two path→permission tests asserted /api/gitea and /api/caldav resolve.
Re-pointed at /tasks and at /user vs /users — the latter is a live overlap
AND a real privilege boundary (resolving /api/users to 'account' would hand
the ordinary-account permission the user-administration API), where the old
/dav vs /caldav pair mapped to one permission and never showed the property.
• 'every permission declares at least one api prefix' stopped being true by
design. Replaced with what it was protecting — a permission must gate
SOMETHING reachable, api or route, since one gating nothing can be granted
and revoked to no effect while reading as a control. `notify` is named as
the one genuine exception rather than silently tolerated: no API, and no
screen by design.
── plugins/music/cliamp: a real ordering fix, pushed separately ──
openPlayer checked for the cliamp binary BEFORE validating the path, so a path
escaping the owner's home answered "cliamp not found on host" on any machine
without it. Fixed there (3f4ee82): validate the request, then inspect the host.
── The pty timeout: an env var that had done nothing for five days ──
The test pinned `HOME_DIR: '/tmp'`. `HOME_DIR` was removed from the platform on
2026-08-13 when the install root became derived, and sessions.mjs resolves `~`
with node's `homedir()` — which reads `$HOME`. So the shell opened in the real
home, `pwd` never printed /tmp, and the test spent its full 15s timeout waiting
for output that could not arrive. One character class of a rename, five days
ago, costing 15s of every suite run since.
1044 pass, 0 fail, 85 files (unchanged). Suite is ~15s quicker for the obvious
reason.

Fourth extraction, after offscale, music and email. Everything vault is now at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/vault and installs from the marketplace; this commit
is what the platform stopped knowing.
Deleted, not commented: both routers, the sidecar, the db directory, the
hono.ts mounts/imports, server.tsx's ws import + handler entry + four
route-table entries, '/vault' from UNPROTECTED_API_PREFIXES, both entries in
totality.ts's exemption lists, both database barrels, and the app-store
catalogue entry.
The catalogue deletion is required rather than tidying — the trap the runbook
records as having bitten twice. permissionAvailability() derives from
sidecar_installs, which a plugin never gets a row in, so a leftover entry makes
the permission permanently 'unavailable' and withholds the route and dock tile
on a server where the plugin is installed and working.
── The one new piece of platform: src/servers/account-lifecycle.ts ──
Three auth handlers (signout, distress, panic) imported clearVaultTokens and
clearVaultUnlockKey directly. That is the security property behind the distress
and panic buttons — "someone got in, make the vault need a master password
again" — so it could not just be dropped, and a plugin cannot be imported by
core.
Rejected: having core DELETE from the plugin's tables by name. It removes the
import but moves the coupling somewhere worse — core would depend on a plugin's
SCHEMA, so renaming a column would silently stop the wipe. A security property
that fails silently on an unrelated change is the failure mode to design
against. (docs/email-plugin-extraction.md took that shape for READING a
plugin's data, where a stale answer is a missing feature rather than a lock
left open. The stakes decide it, not the pattern.)
Taken instead: core announces 'signout' | 'distress' | 'panic' with a user id,
and anything holding per-account state subscribes. ~30 lines, fire-and-forget,
one listener's failure cannot stop another. Core names no plugin, no table and
no column; a listener that is not there is a plugin that is not installed. The
severity mapping moved into the plugin — signout keeps the protector key,
distress and panic drop it — so the behaviour is unchanged.
── Two things deleted rather than carried, both dark since 2026-08-13 ──
The unauthenticated Bitwarden passthrough (/vaultwarden plus four root
prefixes and an /api/* header diverter). A plugin's routes mount into
protectedRouter at /api/<name>, behind the account gate; top-level
unauthenticated prefixes are not something a manifest can declare, and the Bun
route table they need entries in is built once at serve(). Keeping it meant
core naming /vaultwarden and /identity in its own route table — the vocabulary
leak the runbook forbids, for a path its own comments called TEMPORARY pending
a first-party browser extension. Owner's call: nice to have, not a requirement.
The notifications websocket, for the same reason plus a second: no plugin owns
a socket on this platform yet (server.reload({routes}) proven, never called;
handlers in server.tsx is a static map). Music parked cliamp/ for exactly this.
SignalR degrades to HTTP long-polling by itself, so clients still sync.
── Tests ──
Vault was the ONLY members: 'invite' catalogue entry, so deleting it would have
silently dropped coverage of that branch in plannedOutcome. It is now tested
against a synthetic entry instead: deleting an assertion along with the last
real user of a case is how a switch arm stops being covered without anyone
deciding it should.
bunx tsgo clean (verified it really does cover plugins/ by injecting a
deliberate error and watching it fail). Suite back at its 7 pre-existing
baseline failures — none of them this feature's, all confirmed unrelated
(the totality ones are about 'desktop'). 85 test files, unchanged, per the
runbook's trap about a moved test vanishing silently.
Needs `bun db:push` and a restart before installing, then point it at a
Vaultwarden from /vault — VAULTWARDEN_URL in .env is no longer read.

Reverses 1eecc400 ("switch off Vaultwarden's routers, pending extraction into
a plugin"). That plan is on hold: vault, unlike offscale/email/music, is a
Docker-provisioned service through the old app-store catalogue
(sidecar_installs, composeTemplate: 'vaultwarden') rather than a self-
contained sidecar, and the new plugins/ system has no equivalent yet for
provisioning a container. Design work for that is separate, future, explicitly
deferred by the owner rather than attempted here.
What's actually needed right now is narrower: the owner's own Vaultwarden
instance is already running, untouched, externally. This restores exactly the
code that was there before 2026-08-13 — both routers (owner-authenticated
/api/vault for Officer's own clients, unauthenticated /vaultwarden + root
Bitwarden paths for third-party clients), the websocket notifications hub, the
sidecar's port-capture side-effect import, and the vault schema export. All of
it was left commented rather than deleted specifically so this restoration
would be a straight uncomment, per the original commit's own reasoning.
Verified before touching anything: no data was at risk. vault_tokens/
vault_unlock_keys did not exist in Postgres (dropped by a db:push after the
schema was commented out, before this session), and there is no
sidecar_installs row for vault on this machine — nothing to lose, nothing to
migrate.
Confirmed the auth split resolves cleanly without any core changes:
vaultRouter (/api/vault) does its OWN userMiddleware + owner-only gate
internally, so it needs no special exemption — the totality.ts entries for
'/vault' and 'vault' were already present, unaffected by the mount being
commented out, and needed no changes here. Only the unauthenticated
publicVaultRouter genuinely depends on the EXEMPT_API_PREFIXES/
UNPROTECTED_API_PREFIXES carve-out, which is explicitly documented in-code as
TEMPORARY: it goes away once a first-party browser extension authenticates to
Officer directly instead of to Vaultwarden.
bunx tsgo clean, suite at its 7 pre-existing baseline failures, no new ones —
the code had not drifted while dark.
Still needed, not done here (deliberately left to the owner, same as every
restart this session): set VAULTWARDEN_URL in .env to the real server address,
add an officer-vault PM2 entry (ecosystem.config.cjs has none — this was never
in CORE_PROCESSES and there is no plugin/sidecar_installs row driving it),
bun db:push to recreate vault_tokens/vault_unlock_keys, restart officer.

Found chasing a real install failure: music's marketplace row was hand-
entered as https://gitea.officer.dev/plugins/music with no .git suffix, and
fetchPlugin's URL check refused it outright with a message ("https URLs
only, no credentials") that named neither actual reason.
The suffix was never a security property — https-only, safe character set,
no embedded credentials are the real checks, and Gitea/GitHub both clone
identically with or without .git. Made the suffix optional rather than
required, so a future hand-entered row missing it doesn't hit the same wall.
Also fixed the row itself in officer_marketplace (added .git, matching every
other plugin's entry) for consistency, and confirmed the gitea repo itself
was never the problem — plugins/music already exists there with both
commits, unaffected by this bug.

DELETE /command-hq/commanders/:sessionId — deletes the transcript itself via
deleteClaudeSession (the same function DELETE /chat/sessions/:id calls, so a
/clear chain goes with it, every part), then the command_hq_sessions row via
deleteCommandHqSession (existing, exported, never previously called from a
route — its docstring said as much: "no product path to this yet").
Deliberately real deletion, not an unfile-back-to-/chat path — there still
isn't one of those, and this doesn't create one. Documented next to "The
/chat <-> /command-hq relationship" so it doesn't read as contradicting the
"a session never moves the other direction" rule directly above it.
Frontend: both the grid card and the detail bar's meta row get an inline
confirm (trash icon -> check/cancel), same shape as ChatHistory's own
SessionRow delete. The grid card's delete control is a sibling of the card's
<Link>, not nested inside it, per docs/navigation-audit.md — the card is a
stretched full-cover Link (absolute inset-0, default stacking) with the
delete control in its own stacking context (z-10) on top of it, so the card
stays click-anywhere except where the trash icon sits. Deleting the commander
currently open in the detail panel navigates back to the bare list rather
than leaving it pointed at a 404.

Traced "(no output yet)" on a live commander to the actual running process on
this machine rather than guessing: the tray's log-tail was working correctly
(it's a general /chat feature, nothing to fix there) — the task's .output
file was genuinely empty because the agent had written
`timeout 8 ping -c 1 -W 5 google.com >/dev/null 2>&1`, throwing away ping's
own output and only echoing on a failed ping. Correct for "let me know if it
goes down," but it means a healthy watcher shows nothing at all, indistin-
guishable at a glance from a stuck one.
buildBackgroundJobPrompt gains an unconditional rule — every job shape, not
only watchers — telling the agent not to redirect a command's own output to
/dev/null or similar: whatever it would print in a terminal is what the owner
wants to see live in the job's log. Landed at rule 8 for watchers (after the
existing fire rule), 5 for a bare command, 4 for a bare prompt — whichever
number falls after the rules already in that branch, so rule 7's existing
identity (referenced by number in tests, docs and COMMS) is untouched.
Also lightly reworded rule 7's "stay silent" line: it was already only about
the agent's own narration, not the underlying command's output, but the
distinction wasn't explicit and reads exactly like the instinct that produced
the >/dev/null in the first place.
