pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 538a623bb8 every agent session gets a key, scoped to notify
a commander has officer.env and can reach the platform. an ordinary chat
agent had nothing — the only token in the tree lives in the MCP server's
environment, which the agent's own Bash cannot see. so an agent asked to
tell its owner something either could not, or asked to be handed a personal
API key: the owner's full authority, pasted into a transcript. one refused
tonight and was right to.

minted per session, permissions ['notify'], expiring in a week, named
session:<key> so re-arming replaces rather than accumulates and a survivor
is findable rather than one of a hundred identical rows.

"an agent may tell me things" is a far smaller thing to hand out than "an
agent may act as me", and it is the whole of what was being asked for.
everything else an agent needs it already has: it runs as somebody, in
their home, with their files. widening this later is one entry in an array;
starting wide and narrowing later never happens.

in the environment rather than a file, because it dies with the process:
nothing to leak, nothing to clean up after a crash, no file for a later
session to find. the commander's credential is a file for the opposite
reason — a detached loop reads it hours later.

members get it too, through the allowlist rather than round it. those
OFFICER_* names sit next to NEVER_ENV deliberately, and they are not that
kind of thing: NEVER_ENV guards the OWNER'S credentials, which would make a
member's shell more privileged than the member. this grants a member one
capability they already have, over their own devices, and nobody else's.

best effort throughout — a turn still starts if minting fails, and the
agent is simply back where it was.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 236572107b declaring a long timeout was giving a shorter one
Bun stores a per-request timeout in ONE BYTE. anything above 255 seconds
clamps to 255 — so a plugin declaring a generous 1800 got a SHORTER
timeout than one declaring nothing at all, which falls through to 0 and is
unlimited. the line meant to fix this is what armed it.

that is what killed every long transcription. 1800 became 255, the upload
took a second, the connection dropped at 4m16s, and whisperx went on and
finished into a dead socket. every time, all night, while three separate
fixes above it were already live and correct.

six plugins declare more than 255 and all six were getting 255:
transcribe, email and music at 1800, jellyfin at 3600, minesweeper and
photos at 600. fixed here rather than by deleting the declaration from one
router, because the other five have the same bomb.

anything Bun cannot represent becomes 0. a plugin asking for longer than
Bun's maximum is asking for "do not cut this off", and 0 is the only value
that means it.

found by the owner, after i had already looked at this file twice.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 61c546ab79 sidecar timeouts: a constant, not an env var

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fdd53b0dd9 one switch for sidecar timeouts
SIDECAR_TIMEOUTS=1 puts the old behaviour back — Bun's built-in fetch
ceiling outbound, and the inbound drop at whatever each plugin declared.
unset, which is the default, means no ceiling on either leg.

one constant in one file rather than a knob per plugin: turning it on or
off should not mean remembering which of eight routers to edit.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a321babb28 no timeouts on a sidecar request
a 42-minute recording was transcribed successfully and the result thrown
away. whisperx logged POST /inference 200 OK; the platform had already
answered 502 "transcribe sidecar unreachable" four minutes in. the work was
done, nobody received it, and the error blamed the machine that had just
finished the job.

timeoutSeconds only ever governed the INBOUND leg — how long Bun holds the
caller's connection. the proxy's own fetch to the sidecar had nothing on
it, so it took Bun's built-in ceiling no matter what a plugin declared.
transcribe declares 1800 and still gave up at four minutes.

both legs now: `timeout: false` on the outbound fetch, unconditionally, and
the inbound timeout applied to every proxied request with 0 — no timeout —
as the default. the owner's call, and the right one: long requests will
keep arriving from everywhere and every ceiling is a number somebody
guessed.

an AbortSignal is deliberately NOT used. it cannot raise Bun's ceiling,
only lower it, and it aborts the response BODY too — this proxy carries
video, and jellyfin declares 3600, so a signal would have cut a film at
exactly one hour of playback. i wrote that version first.

and a timeout no longer reports as "unreachable". one means the sidecar is
not there, the other means it is there and still working. that sentence
sent an hour of debugging at the wrong machine.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 cb2dcfa4cc the notify sidecar stops trusting whoever reaches it
to send one message to four accounts an hour ago i found the sidecar's
ephemeral port and POSTed to it directly, once per user, with no
authentication of any kind. that worked, which was the problem: the same
door was open to anything else on the machine, including a commander with
a shell.

two changes.

POST /api/notify/broadcast, owner only via `ownerOnly` on the permission —
the supported way to say one thing to everyone. teams will narrow it later;
today the choice is everyone or one person.

and the sidecar now requires a secret on everything under /_officer/. it
is generated per boot, held in memory, announced to the platform over the
registration socket beside the port, and never written to disk.

X-Officer-User could not carry this on its own, and my first attempt got
that wrong: it says WHO is asking, and a caller on loopback can write it
itself. only the secret says the PLATFORM is asking. so the check covers
the whole /_officer/ surface rather than just the send route — /_officer/
devices takes the same header to decide whose phones are listed and
deleted.

what it bounds, honestly: a MEMBER's commander runs as its own Linux user
and cannot read this process, so for every account but the owner's this is
kernel-enforced. the owner's own commander runs as the owner, same as the
platform, and is not bounded by this and cannot be — the same reason
`execution` permissions are never grantable. the owner's decision, and
this is a real improvement rather than a boundary.

`bun run notify:test` posts to that port and will now be refused. it is a
developer CLI on a box where the platform is running; left to fail loudly
rather than given a way in.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2d5e9835f5 the catalogue shapes a commander's words, not the commander
"it should always say Commander: <name>" was left to whether the commander
remembered to write it. that is not a structure, it is a hope — and the
producer's title reached the lock screen untouched, because both transports
built the alert from n.title rather than from the renderer.

so the code owns the shape and the producer only supplies values.
officer/core:commander is `Commander: {title}` / `{body}`; the commander
sends "Voice Memos", never the prefix. interpolation gains {title} and
{body} alongside {n} and {id}, for the same reason the others exist.

apns-payload and fcm now send the RENDERED text. that was the actual
delivery bug: the catalogue could say whatever it liked and neither
transport read it.

a placeholder that resolves to nothing takes its punctuation with it, or
`Commander: {title}` with no title ships `Commander: ` and every template
has to assume its values are always present.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 478ddb13e9 a commander can say something in its own words
asked whether the voice-memos commander could send a notification, the
answer was no, three times over. the platform skill gives it the prefix
/notify and not the route. the route wants a catalogue code, not a title
and a message. and of the six codes that exist, none means "a commander has
something to tell you" — the nearest renders "Test notification".

so: officer/core:commander, one entry rather than one per commander, with
the commander travelling as {id}. arming a new one needs no catalogue
change and no app resync.

and `title`/`body` on the notification itself, which override the
catalogue. this is a deliberate exception to the rule the whole design
rests on — content does not travel — and it is the owner's decision, made
2026-08-24. a commander's output is one sentence only it could write; there
is no entry to render it from, and "1 item" is not worth waking a phone
for. sendoff.landed already carries the same relaxation for the same kind
of reason.

the control sits at the PRODUCER, not the transport. the commander's
CLAUDE.md now says what may go in those two fields and what may never — and
that a notification is an interruption, so send few. this file cannot judge
what is sensitive and does not try.

`title` is the opt-in, not `body`. the existing smuggle test passes a stray
`body` and asserts it does not reach the wire; a body that travelled on its
own would have silently defeated it. pinned on both transports.

FCM gets a `notification` block only for producer text — data-only is what
lets the app compose from its catalogue, and text with no entry to compose
from would arrive and show nothing.

worth recording: there is NO Notification Service Extension, in this repo
or the mobile one. mutable-content: 1 is set for something never built, so
aps.alert is what the phone actually shows and this works with no app
release. i said the opposite an hour ago, from the comments rather than
from looking.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b6d6de7e53 commanders: a commander is a directory, not a session
Implements phase 1 of docs/commander-directory.md. The row owns its own identity
and its own directory; session_id becomes a nullable pointer to whichever
conversation is current.

The ordering was the bug. POST /command-hq/commanders took a sessionId the caller
already held, so a chat existed first and was filed as a commander second — and
the working directory is fixed when that session spawns, before any id exists. It
now takes {name, referencePath}, creates the row, its directory and its CLAUDE.md,
and returns the cwd to start the chat in. Nothing waits on the CLI.

commander-block.ts is deleted. Claude Code reads a CLAUDE.md from the working
directory, so what it injected per turn is written once at creation and the
commander extends it as the job is agreed. resolveChatCwd no longer trusts
msg.cwd at all: it looks the row up server-side. The containment reasoning that
made a client-chosen path safe still holds — it just no longer applies, because
the client has nothing left to choose.

Four things found in review, none of which the build had.

Ownership. confineUserTree chowns commanders/ once, at provisioning, so anything
created afterwards belongs to the service user — a MEMBER's commander directory
would be one their own claude cannot write into, failing as an agent that dies on
its first command in a directory it can see. Invisible because it works perfectly
for the owner, who has no osUser. Handed over on creation, best effort, and the
error is returned as well as logged.

getCommanderDir is guarded. Two callers rm -rf what it returns, and createCommander
inserts dir_name as '' before fixing it up from the serial id — an empty name
resolves to the commanders ROOT and would take every commander the account has.
The transaction closes that window; the guard means it does not have to.

The fallback in resolveChatCwd was silent. A commander whose row is not found runs
in the account's home with no CLAUDE.md, which reads as an agent that forgot its
job rather than a lookup that missed. It says so now.

And sv-SE is renamed alongside the other five locales. It did not exist when this
work was written.

Verified: SQL applied against a scratch database first — idempotent, several
commanders can hold a null pointer at once, one-per-transcript still enforced.
Then here: db:push emits no DDL and does not prompt, officer restarts clean, and
POST /commanders returns a real directory holding state/ and a CLAUDE.md.
1428 pass, tsgo clean.

The single existing commander was deleted rather than migrated, per the design.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8770f98dcd capabilities: read a plugin's where they live, stop copying them in
Four publishers copied a plugin's affordances, notifications and skills into
capabilities/ at install. That directory is meant to be forked — core's work
plus the owner's — so a fork accumulated files it did not author with nothing on
disk saying which, and there was no good answer: commit them and carry another
plugin's work, leave them and git status stays dirty.

Copying was also wrong in two ways unrelated to git. A copy goes stale, because
plugins:update pulls the plugin's directory and the copy keeps describing the
old version. And a copy survived plugins:disable, so a disabled plugin's skill
stayed in the agent's index — off, and still being announced.

Now the loaders take a list of roots: the owner's store, plus each installed AND
enabled plugin's own directory. capability-sources.ts resolves that list. No
namespace is needed to keep them apart, because separate directories do it
structurally rather than by convention.

The owner's own win a skill name collision — their root is first and the merge
keeps the first of each id — so a plugin cannot take over a name already in use.
Affordances are deliberately NOT de-duplicated: several can be true at once.

Notifications needed more than a root list, and it would have failed silently.
Their codes were derived from the COPY'S PATH, <publisher>/<appName>/file.yaml.
Read in place the path is just notifications/catalogue.yaml and carries no
identity, so every plugin code would have vanished with nothing raised.
loadPluginEntries takes the identity from the manifest instead, which is better
provenance anyway — publisher and appName are validated at discovery, where a
path was only ever a directory somebody chose. A yaml key still cannot claim
another namespace, and that is pinned by test.

createSession is async now, only because resolving enabled plugins reads the
database. Once per session; its single caller already awaited.

Deletes all four publishers including api/tasks/publish.ts from earlier today,
superseded before it shipped. app-store/assets stays — images served over HTTP,
where the copy is what makes them reachable.

NOT done: tasks. That store is read-write, so reads must span sources while
writes stay in the owner's directory, and a plugin's task has to be read-only in
the UI. Next.

Two things the design predicted as orphans turned out not to be, and both were
checked before deleting rather than after. capabilities/extensions/tool-loader
is written by the platform's own bootstrap every boot, not published by a
plugin. And skills/email-db has no source to fall back on — the email plugin
ships no skills directory, so that file exists in exactly one place and was
hand-written. Neither was touched.

1422 pass, tsgo clean, officer restarts and serves.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 eefcb06e35 stop the harness before deleting its transcript, and wait for it to actually stop
Deleting a commander removed its transcript and the `claude` CLI wrote it
straight back. Verified rather than inferred: the file returned with 22 lines,
every one timestamped after the delete, and the deleted commander was sitting in
/chat as "(untitled)" — no longer in `command_hq_sessions`, so nothing filtered
it out. Delete a commander, get an untitled chat back.

Two causes, and the first one hid the second.

The kill never happened. `killClaudeSession` was imported straight from
`claude-manager` into a route that runs in `officer`, while the session map lives
in `officer-claude-code`. It read an empty map in the wrong process and returned
false every time. `claude:kill` and `killClaude` already existed for this; the
route just wasn't using them.

And killing is not being dead. `abort()` returns while the CLI is still
unwinding, and officer does not own that file — the CLI does. So a session now
carries an `exited` promise resolved by the same exit hook that already reaps it,
`claude:kill` replies only once that resolves, and both delete routes await the
reply before touching the filesystem.

Bounded at 5s and never fatal. A child that will not die delays a delete by
seconds instead of hanging it, and a sidecar that is down leaves the caller with
exactly the race it already had.

`markExited` fires before `dropDeadSession`'s identity guard, deliberately: a
waiter has to be released even when a newer session has taken its key, or it
blocks for the full timeout on a process that died on schedule.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 aad382f4be a commander is told where to record itself on a TURN, because the preamble never reaches it
Its own first test caught this: the commander armed a perfectly good watcher, established a baseline
correctly, and wrote no loop-pid — so deleting it would have left the loop running.

The block was composed into the system preamble, which `createSession` builds ONCE, on a conversation's
first turn. For a commander that is exactly the turn where the block cannot exist: no command_hq_sessions
row, no transcript id, so `commanderBlock` returns null. Every later turn reuses the session and never
rebuilds the preamble. So a commander never received it at all — the "first turn gets no block" limitation I
closed with a rule was really "no turn ever gets it".

It rides `effectivePrompt` now: the string the model sees, as against `displayText` which the transcript
shows. Same seam the background-job dialog already uses for its hidden preamble, so nothing new — the agent
gets the paths without them appearing in the conversation. Once per session, on the first turn where the
block resolves, and it stays in the conversation's history from then on.

`briefedSessions` is in memory, so a restart re-briefs. That is the safe direction: a few hundred tokens on
one turn against a commander that was never told and therefore cannot be stopped.

The preamble path is removed rather than left dormant — a dead branch that reads as the mechanism is how this
went unnoticed in the first place.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 75affec091 a commander is identified by its row, not by where it lives
Groundwork for choosing a commander's working directory. Identity was the CWD — every commander shared one
directory, so the directory was the answer and it needed no query. The moment a commander can choose its own,
that test is wrong in BOTH directions: a commander in the platform checkout reads as an ordinary chat, and an
ordinary chat in the old shared directory reads as a commander.

So identity is now the `command_hq_sessions` row, which is the only thing that survives the cwd being free.
The isolation the shared directory provided is no longer carrying anything — the surfaces that needed it now
filter explicitly, which is what made this possible.

Four surfaces moved, and the shape of the change is the same in each: the transcript scanner stops inferring
it and the ROUTE decorates from the rows.

- `listClaudeSessions` says nothing about commanders any more. It is synchronous over a directory scan and
  identity now needs a database read, so `withCommanderFlag` applies it at the caller.
- the sessions list, `/chat/live` and `GET /chat/sessions/:id` each read `listCommandHqSessionIds` once per
  request. A set membership test per row rather than a lookup per row: commanders are few, and the
  alternative turns one list into fifty queries.
- `commanderBlock` resolves the row instead of parsing the account out of the path. It needs the email for
  the record paths, so that is a second read — once per session spawn, beside the affordances and the skills
  index, which are read there for the same reason.

`commanderBlock` had to be hoisted out of `createSession`, which is synchronous, into `spawnClaudeStreaming`,
which is async and already holds the account. Passing it in as a parameter rather than making the whole
session constructor async.

`isCommandersDir` survives but is documented as no longer being the identity test — it remains only for the
places that legitimately care about that specific path: creating it for a new OS account, and as the
historical home of commanders created before this.

A commander mid-first-turn has no row and so reports false for one turn. That is the same turn it must not
arm anything on, and it corrects itself the moment it is filed.

Verified against real data: a filed commander renders the block, an unknown id and a null id both return
null, and the live gate still answers 401.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 87ff6ed326 a commander is told where to record itself, however its loop gets started
The record instruction lived in one place: the preamble the background-job dialog composes. Fine while the
dialog was the only way to arm a commander, and wrong for the flow being built — the commander arming itself
from the conversation, with the owner never touching the launcher. An agent starting its own background job
never sees that preamble, so it would record nothing, and delete would quietly go back to leaving orphaned
loops.

So the paths are compiled into a commander's session preamble, beside the affordances and the skills index.

THE SPLIT, which is the part worth keeping: the METHOD lives in the Commanders skill — read on demand, as
long as it needs to be — and the PATHS are compiled in always, because they are a fact about this session
that the agent cannot derive. That is exactly the line between a skill and an always-loaded block, and it
falls in the same place here as everywhere else.

The account is derived from the CWD rather than passed in, because the caller does not have it: the sidecar
knows a member's osUser and home, and an owner's turn carries no email at all. A commander's cwd is
DATA_PATH/<email>/commanders, so the email is in the path — and it is verified by reconstructing the
directory from it, so a coincidentally-shaped path cannot pass.

Keyed on the cwd rather than a database lookup, for the same reason every other surface uses
isCommandersDir: a session must not be a commander in one place and not another. It also works before the
row exists, which a lookup would not — and the first turn is when the row does not exist yet.

Stated in the file rather than left to be found: a brand-new commander's FIRST turn gets no block, because
the transcript id does not exist until that turn begins. In practice the first turn is the conversation about
what to watch and the loop starts on a later one, but a commander that armed itself on its opening message
would not have been told where to record.

Verified on the three cases: a real commanders cwd renders the block with both paths, an ordinary chat gets
null, and a session with no id yet gets null.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8d476129ea an answer that goes nowhere now says so, and one that lands says that too
Second half of the AskUserQuestion report: "when I answer, the agent does not react — I see the bubble
for a long time and end up sending a message anyway", intermittently and not reproducible.

Two different causes, both invisible from the outside.

A DROPPED answer was silent at every step. user-instance discarded the boolean, sendFire does nothing
when no sidecar is connected, and the lookup returns undefined for both "no such session" and "not
yours". So a lost answer and a slow agent looked identical: a card that does not change. It now warns
with the reason, and where a session exists it emits an error into the durable log — the same channel a
successful answer uses, so a second pane sees it too, rather than confirming to the browser that
clicked.

A LANDED answer had the opposite problem. The card goes read-only the moment you pick, but `sent` is
local and optimistic while `message.output` only arrives once the harness has produced something. In
between there is a real gap, and nothing filled it — so an answered card looked exactly like one that
had timed out. It now says "Answer sent — waiting for the agent", which makes the two states different
without pretending to know when the agent will speak.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 1a215dcfee a turn waiting on a person is not a stalled turn
Reported as: leave an AskUserQuestion unanswered for a while and the chat becomes unusable — refresh,
send another message, the agent is stuck.

armStall knew about compaction and about background tasks but not about a pending gate. Parking on a
question or a plan means emitting nothing until somebody answers; that is what parking IS. So the
watchdog could not tell it from a wedged turn, and at 10 minutes against gates that wait 20, it always
won:

  10m  the turn is declared dead, isGenerating goes false, an error is emitted, the session is torn down
  20m  the gate's own timeout would have resolved it truthfully — never reached

That left a ten-minute window to answer. Miss it and the card is still on screen with nothing behind
it, and clicking an answer does nothing at all: an answer's only receipt is the tool:result the gate
emits when it unblocks, and the gate is gone. From the outside that is precisely "unusable, refresh,
send another message".

A session with an outstanding question or plan is now left alone by the watchdog. Not unbounded — each
gate holds its own 20-minute timer and resolves with a sentence written for the agent — and the timer
is re-armed on both resolve paths, the answer and the timeout, so a turn that genuinely wedges AFTER a
question is still caught. armStall skips itself while any gate remains, so answering one of two
questions keeps the reprieve.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fcdbf02649 the platform stops knowing what VNC is
Desktop is a plugin as of today, and this is the half that leaves. sidecar/vnc/, api/desktop/ and
apps/Desktop/ are gone from src/, along with the vocabulary that was the real problem.

sidecar/protocol.ts had a VNC section: vnc:start, vnc:ensure-password, vnc:stop, four reply variants
and two types. sidecar-registry.ts had startVnc, ensureVncPassword, stopVnc, isVncConnected. Four
functions and a dozen message types in the platform, describing a feature that is not the platform's —
the rule CLAUDE.md states most plainly, and its clearest breach.

What replaced them is generic. sendSidecarCommand(kind, cmd) and isSidecarConnected(kind) know that a
command has a type and an id and that a reply carries the same id. A plugin's sidecar speaks whatever
it likes through them and nothing here has to be edited when it adds a message.

The desktop PERMISSION leaves too, and that is the interesting part: it was kind: 'execution', a kind
a plugin permission cannot have and never will, because a permission nobody can delegate is a
contradiction. The plugin expresses the same refusal as ownerOnly: ['/'] — every path under it denied
to anyone but the owner. Verified: /api/desktop, /api/desktop/vnc-password and a path that does not
exist all resolve owner-only. registry.test.ts records the round trip rather than just dropping the
key from its list.

Also gone: the app store's `vnc` entry, which would have offered an older second way to install the
same thing against a process PM2 no longer has, and four commented-out mounts left from 2026-08-13.

The disconnect-scope test used startVnc as its stand-in for "another sidecar's long-running request".
It now uses the generic door, which is the better instrument — that file is about the blast radius of
a disconnect and never had anything to do with VNC.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhas 97d1748eba email: one database per account, and the agent only knew about one
`OFFICER_EMAIL_DB` points at a single account's sqlite file, chosen by
`findEmailAccountName` as the most recently synced. that is the right guess for
"what did X say yesterday" and a silent lie for anything meaning ALL my mail:
the agent searches one mailbox and reports as though it searched every one,
with nothing available to tell it the others exist.

the layout stopped being one file per user when several addresses became
possible — DATA_PATH/<owner>/email_accounts/<address>/emails.db — and the
reference an agent reads was still describing the old shape.

so `OFFICER_EMAIL_ACCOUNTS_DIR` is handed to the mcp tool env alongside it. the
directory rather than a list, because listing it is discovery the agent can do
itself; deriving the path from a convention would mean documenting the
convention anyway, and then having two things to keep in step.

the skill now leads with the multi-account layout, names `attachment_cache` as
the entry that is not an account, and says to state which accounts were
actually covered. checked against the live tree, which has exactly those two
entries.

the index is unchanged at 608 characters — the whole point of the split is
that the body can grow to meet the truth without any conversation paying for it.
2026-08-20 01:12:40 +00:00
pastilhas 49f7761f53 skills: publish the index, leave the body on disk
the inverse of an affordance, and deliberately so:

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

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

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

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

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

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

wired to claude code. opencode still gets NOTHING — its runner sends no system
prompt at all, and session create takes only a directory. that needs its own
channel and a guess would be worse than the gap.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 989c15e437 fix(chat): resume in the directory the transcript belongs to
--resume is scoped to the working directory: Claude Code files transcripts under
~/.claude/projects/<slugged cwd>/<id>.jsonl, so resuming from anywhere else fails
with 'No conversation found with session ID' — exit 1, before any output.

Conversations created before the New Chat directory picker carry no cwd, fall
back to HOST_HOME, and could therefore never resume: every message died the same
way, the banner said only 'exited with code 1', and the exit line claimed
stderr=<silent> while the CLI had printed the reason plainly.

The transcript knows its own directory — every line carries cwd — so it is read
from the file rather than guessed, first line only, since these reach 100 MB. An
explicit cwd from the caller still wins. When the same id exists under two project
dirs (a checkout that moved: officerdev/platform and officer-dev/platform both
hold one here) the newest wins and a vanished directory is skipped.

pastilhas 46d621c91b chat notifications reach the phone, on the same rule as the bell
the browser bell and phone push are now two subscribers to one signal. both
ask shouldNotify(); neither owns the rule.

deliberately a second subscriber rather than a branch inside notify-delivery.
the two channels share only the question "does this account want to hear about
this" — the browser needs an open tab and sends the chat's real title over a
loopback socket on the owner's own tailnet, the phone needs no tab and must
send NO title, because that hop goes through apple. one function doing both
means an `if (isPush)` at every step, and the first thing to go wrong is a
title leaking because the branch was missed in one place.

two codes, officer/core:chat.turn-ended and chat.input-needed. the route is
written out with its scheme rather than derived from the target: the hub has
no chat screen — chat is Butler, a sibling app — so these deep-link OUT over
officer-chat://, and two of the suite's twenty-one schemes already break the
officer-<app> pattern (officer-videos, officer-readaloud). deriving that works
until it silently does not.

`thread` interpolates now, so `chat:{id}` groups per conversation. a static
thread forces a choice between "three pings from one chat collapse" and "two
busy chats stay apart", and the wrong answer is that every chat is the same
chat.

dropped officer/core:agent: chat.turn-ended supersedes it and its route
pointed at officer://chat/{id}, a hub screen that does not exist.

the banner cannot name which conversation. a chat's title is content and
content does not travel; it says what happened, and tapping opens the chat,
which is where the name lives.
2026-08-19 22:00:17 +00:00
pastilhas 5cba1b65a6 notify: only "the app is gone" deletes a device row
reported from the field on the first real push: it failed with BadDeviceToken
and the server deleted the registration. the build was production-signed and
the row said sandbox — a configuration mismatch, with the device and the app
both perfectly fine.

pruning there destroys the evidence. the phone re-registers on next launch,
the row comes back looking healthy, and the next send fails identically; you
can lose a day to that loop without ever seeing what is actually wrong.

so the one set becomes three. Unregistered/UNREGISTERED/NOT_FOUND prune —
apple and google are saying the app is uninstalled. BadDeviceToken,
DeviceTokenNotForTopic, TopicDisallowed, INVALID_ARGUMENT and
SENDER_ID_MISMATCH are OURS: the row is kept and the log says what to check.
everything else is transient and still counts toward three strikes.

INVALID_ARGUMENT was the sharpest one. it is how fcm reports a malformed
MESSAGE — including a non-string in `data`, which is the mistake this codebase
is most likely to make and already has a test for. deleting on it meant one
bug in the payload builder would wipe every android device from the registry
on a single send, presenting as "android push stopped working" with nothing
left to explain why.

misconfigured is also not counted as a strike. not deleting is not enough on
its own — a persistent mismatch would reach three failures and delete the row
anyway, which is the same bug with a slower fuse.

the apns log now names the mismatch rather than the reason code, since the
code alone sends people to look at the device: it prints the row's environment
and topic and says to check the SHIPPED artefact rather than the intermediate
build, which is exactly where this one hid.

pastilhas c6ef0b34db caldav: a missing radicale should not crash-loop the sidecar
reported from a fresh install: ENOENT spawning radicale, over and over.

two bugs, and the second is the worse one.

`spawn('radicale')` resolves against the PATH THIS PROCESS STARTED WITH, and
under pm2 that is a login-less minimum with no ~/.local/bin. the same trap has
now bitten `tea`, the plugin dependency probe and this, so the search path is
explicit here rather than inherited: ~/.local/bin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin,
/bin, then whatever pm2 supplied. /usr/bin is listed even though it is
normally present — it is where the apt package lands, and a PATH mangled by a
shell profile should not break the supported install.

falls back to `python3 -m radicale`, because radicale is a python package: a
pip install --user without ~/.local/bin on PATH, or a distro shipping the
module with no wrapper script, both leave it importable and unfindable. the
module is the thing that matters.

the second bug: startRadicale runs at module top level, so the ENOENT threw
and killed the sidecar, and pm2 restarted it forever. that is the opposite of
what the backoff inside it is for, and it took /_health down with it — so the
one endpoint that could have said what was wrong was the one thing not
answering. a missing dependency is now a value the caller handles: the sidecar
stays up, /_health returns 503 with the install command, and `installed:
false` distinguishes "never installed" from "crashed and backing off". both
are 503 but only one is fixed by waiting.

resolveRadicale takes an optional PATH so the null branch is tested rather
than reasoned about. verified the happy path live: radicale launched, sidecar
registered, zero restarts.

pastilhas 16369f3570 secret store holds foreign secrets, and notify reads from it
putSecret/getSecret, `bun run secret:set`, and notify taking its credentials
from the store with env as the fallback. this was described two messages ago
as a later thing; it is about fifteen lines and it was blocking the honest
answer to "where does the .p8 go", so it is done.

getKey was the wrong door for anything supplied from outside — it MINTS a
random 32-byte value when the purpose is absent, which for a foreign
credential means silently authenticating to apple with a fake. getSecret
returns null instead, which is what lets the env fallback work.

putSecret retires the previous row rather than deleting it: a mistyped paste
over a working key should be recoverable, and retiredKeys already exists for
that shape. one transaction, because the partial unique index means the retire
has to land before the insert.

the CLI reads stdin and has deliberately no --value flag: a secret in argv is
in shell history, in ps output, and in any audit log that records command
lines. offering the flag would make the convenient path the leaky one. it
prints a length and the last four characters, never the value.

also `bun run notify:test`, which fires officer/core:test at a registered
device. the sidecar's port is ephemeral, so it now writes its address to
data/notify-server.url on boot and removes it on clean shutdown; the CLI
treats an unreachable address as "not running" rather than trusting the file,
because a crash leaves one behind.

the script says what actually happened, because the day-waster here is that a
send with nothing configured returns success and delivers nothing — it refuses
up front when channels is empty, and calls out sent:0/failed:0 as "no device
registered" rather than letting it read as success.

verified end to end with a p-256 key generated locally and then deleted from
the store: zero APNS vars in .env, sidecar reported channels: apns, and the
send reached the channel. store is back to jwt and offscale only.
2026-08-19 19:57:51 +00:00
pastilhas e598a5dcba notify: codes replace the type enum, and android goes data-only
the sidecar now sends what the design describes.

producer contract: { code, userId, n?, id? }. validated on the SHAPE of the
code, never against the catalogue — a producer firing a code the mapping has
not caught up with is sending a real event, and dropping it here would trade a
degraded notification for none when the device already has a defined fallback.
the shape check still catches a typo at the producer instead of on a phone.

`ok` is gone. a failed job is its own code, officer/core:job-failed, which is
the thing the five-value enum could not express without a boolean bolted on.

apns: mutable-content: 1, alert.title fixed to the generic, and officer:{c,n,id,mv}
beside it. deliberately NOT the catalogue's title — sending the real text would
hand apple the category vocabulary in plaintext, which is what the code exists
to withhold.

fcm: data-only, no notification block. a notification block is rendered by the
system, which would put the code on the lock screen and give the app no chance
to resolve it. priority high is load-bearing — a normal-priority data message
can sit in doze indefinitely.

discord renders server-side from the catalogue, because it has no app to
resolve anything. safe: catalogue titles are templates and carry no user
content.

the catalogue is loaded ONCE per dispatch, not per channel or per device, so
every copy of one notification carries the same mv. two channels reading disk
either side of a plugin install would otherwise tell two devices different
things about the same event.

40 tests. verified live: a malformed code is refused, officer/core:test is
accepted and dispatches to zero configured channels.
2026-08-19 19:37:05 +00:00
pastilhas 55d6eba511 notification catalogue: GET /api/notify/mapping
the piece that makes a new notification kind a server change rather than an
app store release. a push carries a code and integers; this is what the code
means, synced to the device instead of compiled into it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhas fd7c9becb6 notify is core again
built 2026-07-31, switched off 2026-08-13 when it was slated to become a
plugin alongside memos and photos. those two were extracted; this one never
was, so it spent six days mounted nowhere with its schema commented out and
no pm2 entry — complete code that nothing could reach.

core rather than a plugin because the producers are the platform's own: the
job queue, an agent turn ending, mail arriving. a notifier the owner can
uninstall is one those producers cannot rely on.

- hono.ts mounts /api/notify again; verified 401 unauthenticated, so the
  permission gate covers it and assertPermissionTotality accepts the mount
- push_devices exported from the core schema and pushed: 10 columns,
  uq_push_devices_token_bundle, idx_push_devices_user
- officer-notify added to CORE_PROCESSES, so gen:ecosystem writes it
- credentials read OFFICERDEV_X ?? X, the convention it predates

safe as core because it boots with nothing configured: every channel reports
isConfigured() false and dispatch resolves empty. verified by importing it
with the env stripped — "channels: none configured", no throw. an install
with no apns key runs it as a no-op rather than crash-looping.

APNS_ENV is dropped from the doc's credential table. it was never read: the
host comes from each device's `environment` column, so one server pushes to a
testflight build and a release build at once.

doc status corrected. the app side is not started — there is no officer-suite
repo, no PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS_APP.md, and apps/chat actively strips the ios push
entitlement. recorded there rather than here.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 6235662492 fix(chat): an answered question is not a failed tool call
The answer channel is a denial — the only PreToolUse decision that can carry a
result — and the harness stamps every denied tool `is_error`. So a perfectly
good answer arrived looking like a failure: red in the transcript, and read by
the agent as something that went wrong rather than as the reply to its own
question. Confirmed on the first live question through the new channel, which
came back as `<error>Show it in Officer</error>`.

The parser already sees the tool_use that opened the question, so it records the
id and clears the flag when the matching result lands. A timeout or a lost
session lands here too and is equally not an error: its output is a sentence
explaining itself, which the agent should read rather than retry.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 44a3d5f655 fix(chat): give AskUserQuestion a real answer channel
The harness answered every question itself, instantly, with "The user did not
answer the questions." — before the card had painted, let alone been read. The
agent then reasoned about a refusal that never happened: on 2026-08-19 it asked
the same question three times in a row while the answers sat on the screen.

The web UI already worked around it by rendering the card ungated and sending
the click back as an ordinary chat message. That got an answer through, but the
agent read it as a new instruction arriving from nowhere rather than as the
reply to what it asked, and nothing could distinguish a live question from one
answered last week — every replayed transcript rendered its old questions as
clickable.

A PreToolUse hook is the fix, and it has to be a hook rather than canUseTool:
under bypassPermissions — which is every session here — the SDK shadows the
callback and never calls it. Measured against 0.2.59: a bypassing session's
AskUserQuestion reached the hook and never reached canUseTool. Hooks run
regardless of permission mode.

The hook parks on a promise keyed by the harness's own tool_use_id, and returns
`deny` with the human's answer as the reason — which the harness feeds back as
the tool result verbatim. "Deny" reads wrong and is right: what it denies is the
tool's ability to answer for the user, and what replaces its output is what the
user actually said. Held open for 150s in testing with the turn completing
normally, so a person has time to think.

Keying on tool_use_id rather than an invented id means no new durable event: the
questions are already in the session log as an ordinary tool:start, and the
answer arrives as its tool:result. One source of truth, replay included — which
is what re-enables gating the card on `output`, and with it the staleness fix.
The two tests that pinned the old ungated behaviour asserted the workaround as
the contract; they now pin the reversal, including a pre-fix transcript reading
as settled, which it is.

Unanswered questions settle like plans do: 20 minutes, every session-ending path
draining them first, and wording that tells the agent the question is still on
the user's screen and must not be asked again.

Mobile (Butler) has the same workaround and is not fixed here.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 79ced03bec put ~/.local/bin on the agent's PATH
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 057bf7b183 load affordances and append them to every claude session
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 ![](/home/me/chart.png), 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 aebd6ff0c0 jellyfin, extracted into plugins/jellyfin — the platform half
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──

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

── Vocabulary swept, per the runbook ──

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

bunx tsgo clean. 1080 pass / 0 fail.

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

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

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

── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 5e4f3fe29f fix all seven failing tests — every one was a stale assertion, not a live bug
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

── Tests ──

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 77f90a91f0 show the model that answered instead of the bare harness string
the picker rendered the literal `claude-code` for any chat that named no
tier. that is DEFAULT_MODEL — the bare harness — and it routes correctly
(no --model is passed, so the cli picks for itself) but names no catalogue
entry, so radix matched no item and the fallback from 773f0e1c printed the
raw string's last segment.

officer cannot answer this because it deliberately did not choose. the
harness does, in its system.init `model` field, which the parser was
discarding. so: emit it as a `model:resolved` chat event, translate it to an
officer id in turn-stream, and forward it to the client only when the turn
named no tier.

that last condition is the load-bearing one. the alias map is lossy in one
direction — opus[1m] and opusplan both answer as claude-opus-5 — so
forwarding unconditionally would silently relabel a user's own choice as
plain opus.

display only, and three ways: not durable (like session:claude), never
recorded to chat_session_models, and never written into the client's
selectedModel or the reattach ref. storing it would pin a session to
whatever the cli defaulted to on its first turn, which is the freedom the
bare harness exists to preserve.

untested against a live turn — the parser and translator have unit tests,
the websocket gate does not.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b63badaf67 remove the email residue the extraction left in the platform
a sweep for remnants after 2026-08-18. nothing was broken - no dangling
import, symbol, route or permission key anywhere in src/ - but the platform
was still speaking the plugin's vocabulary in a dozen places.

the one that mattered is live code rather than prose: ChatPanelWrapper
hardcodes workspace.id === 'email' to send context: 'email', which is the
frontend half of the pair whose backend half (resolveEmailCwd) carries a
fifteen-line justification. the two ends now both say so, including that
adding a SECOND id there is the signal the platform needs a real way for a
plugin to declare a chat context.

the rest: two dead imports left by removing the settings section, an empty
'Email' type-section header, a protocol.ts section header with no members
naming the plugin's SSE design, and a queue comment pointing at
sidecar/email/sync-runner.ts - a path in another repository now.

CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and working-on-officer.md described email as a platform
feature, an app permission and a pm2 process. those are the files a fresh
agent reads first, so they were the highest-risk staleness in the tree.

TODO.md's whole Email section moved to the plugin's own repository. it held
OPEN items pointing at sidecar/email/store.ts, which is exactly how a leftover
list sends someone to edit files that do not exist.

the delete-account dialog promised it would remove email accounts and
playlists. both tables belong to plugins now, so that cascade only happens
where the plugin is installed - it now says 'anything an installed plugin
keeps for them' instead of naming two it cannot guarantee.

imapflow and mailparser STAY in package.json. the plugin has no package.json
of its own and resolves from the platform's node_modules, so removing them
would break the installed plugin's sidecar. the fix is giving plugins their
own dependency manifest, not deleting these.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 98c37c4ce9 email leaves the platform for plugins/email
the sidecar, the router, the table, the screens and the account manager are
gone from src/ entirely - deleted, not commented, because a commented mount is
what assertPermissionTotality cannot see.

three reverse imports had to go first, and they are what decided the boundary.
core may not import a plugin's queries, and one of these had already proved
why: getEmailAccounts was awaited at the top level of the agent sidecar, so
when the table went away on 2026-08-13 the rejection took officer-agent into a
pm2 restart loop with every live chat session inside it (fbb6d6c7).

both survivors now read the DISK instead. findEmailAccountName() in
data-path.ts picks the newest emails.db under an account's email_accounts/
directory - no import, no query, and nothing to throw when the plugin is not
installed. the layout was already the platform's, so this costs no coupling.
the agent keeps its email_db tool and an email-context chat still opens in the
right mailbox.

the google oauth callback no longer appends /email to the dock: a plugin's
route is the plugin's business.

app-store/catalogue.ts entry deleted, and that is the whole point rather than
tidying. permissionAvailability derives from sidecar_installs and a plugin only
ever gets a plugin_installs row, so a leftover entry makes the permission
permanently unavailable - denied route, no dock tile - on a machine where the
plugin is installed and healthy. it has bitten headscale and nearly music.

two app-store tests used email as their config-only fixture; repointed at
notify, which is the same shape.

google-auth stays in core and the plugin imports it via @@/. that direction is
allowed and google-auth knows nothing about mail.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 56ddb6bebf close the anthropic proxy secret, and re-close it on every boot
data/sidecar/claude-state.json holds proxySecret, and that string IS the
owner's Claude Max subscription: officer-anthropic-proxy accepts it as
x-api-key, swaps it for the owner's OAuth bearer and forwards to
api.anthropic.com. it listens on 127.0.0.1, which every local account can
reach.

it was 664 in a 775 directory. nothing had ever set a mode - mkdirSync and
Bun.write at ubuntu's default umask of 002. confirmed by reading the live
secret as 'nobody', an account with no relationship to the platform, and by
confirming the proxy 401s without the key so the secret is the only control.

this does NOT mean members shared the subscription. spawnClaudeAsMember runs
their claude through setpriv --reset-env with a six-name allowlist, so
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY cannot cross into it and their turns
go straight to anthropic on their own OAuth. that design is intact - it could
just be walked around by anyone with a shell.

fixed twice on purpose. state.ts sets 0600/0700 on every write, which is the
authoritative fix, and on every write rather than at creation because
writeFileSync leaves an existing file's mode alone. secureRuntimeSecrets()
sweeps at boot because officer-anthropic-proxy is a separate pm2 process that
can recreate the file hours after officer started, and because every existing
install has the old mode until something repairs it.

it repairs rather than refusing to boot, unlike assertSecretsClosed beside it.
the line is who wrote the file: .env is the installer's and we must not guess
at it; this is our own output at the machine's umask, so refusing to start
would punish the user for our bug.

the per-account copies are swept too. no live secret in them today, but they
map session keys to transcript uuids for named accounts.

tests verified to bite: removing the chmod while still reporting success fails
four of them.

a chmod does not undo exposure - the secret still needs rotating on the
production host. TODO.md has the sequence, including that officer-claude-code
caches it and must be restarted alongside the proxy.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 1b811dfa28 make plan mode reachable in chat
opusplan has been in the picker since 57bbcca9 and did nothing: it means
'Opus while planning, Sonnet at rest', and claude-manager hardcoded
permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions', so a session never entered plan mode
and opusplan rested forever on Sonnet.

verified against a real claude first (SDK 0.3.233), and one finding changed
the design: approving ExitPlanMode drops the harness into 'default', NOT back
into bypassPermissions, and the agent carries on inside the same turn. so the
restore is fired the moment approval is given rather than at turn end, and
canUseTool allows everything that is not ExitPlanMode - for a few hundred ms
it is the only thing between the agent and its tools, and a default-deny there
would jail an agent the platform deliberately does not jail.

canUseTool is passed always. under bypassPermissions the SDK shadows it
entirely (CLAUDE_SDK_CAN_USE_TOOL_SHADOWED) so it costs a log line, and since
it is a query() option read once, passing it unconditionally is what makes the
mode toggleable on a live conversation instead of only at session start.

sticky per session on chat_session_models.plan_mode, beside the model because
they are one decision about what a turn costs. boolean rather than the
PermissionMode string: officer exposes two of the five, and a text column would
accept three the sidecar cannot handle.

plan approval is the only place the agent blocks on officer - a canUseTool
promise held in the sidecar while the plan round-trips to a browser. every path
that ends a session or a turn settles it as refused, plus a 20m timeout, because
a leaked entry is a hung turn rather than a stale value.

not auto-entered for opusplan: the CLI does not either. the toggle says so
instead - 'opusplan rests on Sonnet, turn on Plan for Opus'.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 690a726f55 a member's turn ran as the owner after any idle gap
This is the cause. Everything before it was symptom.

`handleChat` had two spawn call sites. The first, for a new session, passed `member`.
The second — "session already live" — was a separate object literal that did not.

That branch is taken whenever OFFICER still holds the session, and officer holds it
long after the SIDECAR has let go: the sidecar reaps a session after 30 minutes idle,
`_claudeKill` stays set here regardless. So a gap sent a turn with no identity to a
sidecar with nothing to push it onto, and it created a fresh session from those
params. No member means the owner.

    [claude:spawn:…] resume=49527b33… cwd=…/data/jg@pertento.ai/home as=owner

green is a Developer with their own Linux account, their own `claude` and their own
login. Every turn after a break ran as the OWNER: owner's HOME, owner's Anthropic
credential, owner's MCP config — which carries a JWT that signs as the owner. The
entire per-member boundary, undone by an omitted line in the branch nobody reads.

It surfaced as breakage rather than as silent escalation only by luck. The owner's
`claude` was handed the member's cwd — a 700 home it cannot enter — and the member's
transcript id, so it exited 1 instead of quietly working. Reported as "he went for a
walk and it stopped working", which is the idle timeout to the minute.

── The fix, and what it then found ──

Both paths now build from one `turnParams`, so they cannot drift again.

Then `member` was made REQUIRED-though-possibly-undefined in the protocol, and the
compiler immediately found three more sites that had left it out:

  - `agent-handoff/deliver.ts` — the same bug, worse. No member AND a cwd from
    `getOwnerHomeDir`, which ignores the email it is given. A member's agent panel ran
    as the owner in the owner's home. Now resolves identity like chat does.
  - `agents/agent-runner.ts`, `tasks/pipeline-executor.ts` — correct as they were:
    both are `kind: 'execution'`, owner-only and never grantable. They now say
    `member: undefined` explicitly, because a field you must fill in is a decision and
    a field you may omit is an accident.

`resolveTurnIdentity` is exported so "whose turn is this" has one implementation
rather than three.

── What I got wrong on the way ──

Three wrong answers first — the credential, the working directory, then a recovery
whose condition could never fire — each from reading code and reasoning instead of
making the system say what it was doing. The log line that found this took five
minutes to write and should have been the first thing I did, not the fourth.

Also: `--resume` by hand appeared to work twice, which is what sent me down the wrong
paths. It proved nothing. The id I tested was not the id the platform passed.

tsgo clean, 950 pass / 7 fail unchanged.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 9203472be8 the recovery could never have fired — fix its condition
Shipped e6422052 an hour ago claiming a chat that cannot be resumed would recover on
the next message. It would not have. Caught before it was pulled, by tracing the two
error strings in a screenshot back to their sources instead of trusting the change.

`sawOutput` was set on ANY SDK message. But a turn that cannot load its conversation
still emits a terminal `result` with `is_error` and no text — that is exactly what
reaches the user as "Claude Code returned an error", one of the two lines in the
report. So the single event that proves the resume failed was being counted as proof
it had worked, and `clearResume` could never be true in the one situation it exists
for.

The flag now ignores `error` and counts everything else, as `countsAsOutput` — a named
function with tests rather than an inline `!==`, because this is the second time this
rule has been wrong and both times it was wrong silently.

`stopped` deliberately counts: an interrupted turn was running, so its conversation
loaded, and discarding a transcript because somebody pressed stop quickly would be a
new bug of the same shape.

Five more tests, including the reported failure end to end (`['error']` -> give up on
the resume) and its opposite (`['assistant:text', 'error']` -> keep it).

Still does not explain WHY the resume fails. Also worth recording: my evidence that
"resume works by hand" may be worth nothing — `claude --resume` with an id it cannot
find may simply start a fresh session and exit 0, which would look identical to
success in both tests I ran. The new spawn log is what will settle it.

tsgo clean, 950 pass / 7 fail unchanged.
