Filtering a big search is how you find an album, not just how you hide
files: you type one track you know, and the folder that comes back is the
one you want. But the filter had also stripped that folder down to the one
track, and "download folder" then queued only that track — so finding the
album and losing it were the same act.
A folder now keeps its whole self alongside its matching files, and says
"3 of 24". Expanding shows the album, keeps the matched track highlighted,
and widens every download button in it to the full folder. A peer whose
other folders matched nothing can be expanded the same way, since the album
you found usually sits next to the rest of the artist.
Nothing queues what isn't on screen: each button downloads exactly what is
shown under it.

A history row is only as fresh as the last list load, and the list was only
read on mount — so a search you had just started sat at 0 responses looking
stalled until you navigated away and back. slskd's own web UI goes straight
to the search when you submit, and that view already polls while the search
runs, so follow it.
Which search is open now lives in ?search=<id> rather than local state: rows
are real links, Back returns to the history, and a reload keeps your place.
The list also keeps re-reading while any search is still running.

TEMPORARY / EXPERIMENTAL, at the owner's request, after deedy/qr-data-transfer (QRFerry).
Two panels: one loops a file as QR frames, the other scans them through the camera and
rebuilds it. Entirely client-side — nothing about a transfer reaches the server, which is
the point of the technique.
NOT RaptorQ, and that is the one real design decision here. QRFerry carries RFC 6330
fountain-coded symbols so a receiver can rebuild from ANY sufficient set of frames. This
uses a plain indexed carousel instead, for two reasons — the second being the deciding one:
1. RFC 6330 is days of work and unpleasant to debug.
2. The sender and receiver are being reimplemented on iOS and Android. A format one person
can re-derive from protocol.ts in an afternoon is worth more here than optical
efficiency. Every frame is independent, self-describing, and parses with a string split.
The cost is honest and written down: without fountain coding you must eventually capture each
specific frame, so a miss waits for the next pass rather than being covered by surplus. Fine
for a few hundred KB on a steady camera; it degrades where RaptorQ would start to pay for
itself.
Details that matter for the phone implementations:
- base64url, no padding — ':' and '/' would collide with the field separator.
- CRC-32 of the whole file in the meta frame, checked after reassembly. The test pins the
reference value for "123456789" (cbf43926) so any stock implementation will agree.
- The meta frame repeats every 12 frames, so a receiver joining late learns the filename and
total without waiting a full cycle.
- Error correction level L: frames are short-lived and repeated forever, so QR capacity is
better spent staying sparse enough to scan than on recovery.
16 tests over the protocol, which is the spec the other implementations should match.
The receiver needs a secure origin for camera access; over the tailnet with HTTPS that holds,
and it says so plainly rather than failing silently on plain http.
Adds qrcode and jsqr. @types/qrcode was already present and orphaned — its runtime package had
been removed with the chat-channel cleanup.

The first producer, so the pipe can be exercised from the UI before any real event is wired
to it. Marked TEMPORARY in the source and meant to be deleted when a real producer replaces
it.
POST /_officer/notify now takes the user from the X-Officer-User header the proxy injects
when the body omits it. A producer inside the tailnet says who to notify; a browser reaching
this through /api/notify cannot know its own id, and the platform has already authenticated
whoever sent it. Body still wins where present.
The button sends { type: 'test' }, which fans out to every configured channel — Discord
today, APNs and FCM the moment their credentials exist — and toasts what each one reported,
so "no channels configured" is distinguishable from "sent".

Step 4, and the last transport. Google directly via FCM HTTP v1 — no Expo, no firebase-admin.
Unlike APNs the signed JWT is not the credential: it is an assertion exchanged at
oauth2.googleapis.com for a 1-hour access token, so there are two things to cache and a
network round trip on the cold path. Concurrent pushes share one in-flight exchange rather
than each starting their own, and the token refreshes five minutes early so a request cannot
race the expiry.
The detail that breaks most first FCM integrations: `message.data` values must all be
STRINGS. A number or boolean is rejected with a bare INVALID_ARGUMENT that does not say which
field. Everything is stringified on the way out — id, ok and count included — and a test
walks every value asserting its type rather than trusting the code that wrote it.
Also v1-specific: there is no multicast (the /batch endpoint is deprecated), so N devices is
N requests, which happens to match the APNs shape anyway.
Errors are read for `error.status` only. FCM's `message` field can echo the device token, so
logging the whole body would put device addresses in the logs. UNREGISTERED / INVALID_ARGUMENT
/ NOT_FOUND delete the row; anything else counts a strike.
21 tests across both channels, and verified against the real endpoint: a throwaway key gets
400 invalid_grant "account not found" from Google, meaning the endpoint, form encoding,
grant_type, RS256 signature and claim structure were all accepted and only the account is
missing. A malformed assertion would have failed earlier, with a different error.
The doorbell rule is asserted on this channel too: a producer passing subject/from cannot get
either into the serialized message.
Still needed for a real send: FCM_SERVICE_ACCOUNT, a Firebase project, and google-services.json
in the Android build.

Step 3. Apple directly over HTTP/2 — no Expo, no library, just node:http2 and node:crypto.
Three things here are the difference between working and a silent failure:
- The provider JWT must be signed with dsaEncoding 'ieee-p1363'. Node's default is DER, which
is a perfectly valid ECDSA signature that Apple rejects, and the rejection says nothing
about why. A test asserts the signature is 64 bytes rather than trusting the flag.
- Apple rejects a token minted more than once per 20 minutes and any token older than 60, so
it is cached and refreshed at 40 — between the two walls, not per request.
- APNs expects ONE long-lived HTTP/2 session carrying many requests. A session per push gets
throttled, so sessions are kept per host and re-created only when they die, with an error
handler so a transport failure cannot take the sidecar down as an unhandled rejection.
Sandbox and production are separate hosts and separate token namespaces, so devices are sent
per their stored `environment` — a debug-build token against production fails with
BadDeviceToken and no other symptom.
Dead tokens (BadDeviceToken, Unregistered, DeviceTokenNotForTopic) delete their row
immediately; everything else counts a strike. Going direct means Apple answers inline, so
none of Expo's deferred receipt-polling is needed.
The doorbell rule is now enforced by a test, not just by convention: a producer that passes
subject/from/body — which the type forbids but JavaScript permits — cannot get any of it into
the serialized payload. `aps.alert` carries a generic title composed from the category, and
the custom `officer` key carries ids the app fetches by.
12 tests, 100% of the JWT and payload paths. Verified against the real endpoint too: a
throwaway key gets 403 InvalidProviderToken from api.sandbox.push.apple.com, which means the
connection, path, apns-topic, push-type and JWT structure are all accepted and only the
credential is missing.
Still needed for a real send: APNS_KEY_P8, APNS_KEY_ID, APNS_TEAM_ID, and a device token
from the app.

Step 2 of docs/push-notifications.md. One real channel working end to end before any Apple
or Google credential exists, so the pipe is proven before the hard part.
officer-notify is a PM2 peer with its own loopback listener, announced as notify:server and
proxied at /api/notify. It is a sidecar rather than platform code because the producers are
spread across sidecars — the queue, email, the agent — and a platform-owned notifier would
force every one of them to call back into the platform. That is the inversion just removed
from email; this avoids recreating it.
Channels sit behind one interface (types.ts) so APNs and FCM slot in beside Discord rather
than replacing anything. Each is awaited with its own error boundary and the dispatcher
always resolves: a job that finished has finished whether or not a banner appeared, so a
channel must never be able to break its producer.
text.ts is where the doorbell rule is actually enforced. APNs and FCM both need a title to
render a banner, so "send nothing" was never available — what we control is that the string
is composed HERE from the category alone. A producer sends { type: 'mail', count: 3 } and
the wire carries "3 new emails". It cannot carry a subject line because there is nowhere to
put one.
Device registration lives behind X-Officer-User, trusted because the listener binds loopback.
Platform and environment are validated rather than defaulted: an iOS token from a debug build
fails against production APNs with a silent BadDeviceToken, so a wrong value is a device that
never receives anything and never says why. GET /_officer/devices returns only the last 8
characters of a token — enough to identify a row, not enough to push to it.
Verified end to end against a fake webhook: /_health reports configured channels, a test
notification arrives as {"content":"Officer"}, { type: 'mail', count: 3 } arrives as
{"content":"3 new emails"}, and every validation path returns its own error.
Deletes src/servers/notify/discord.ts, which this supersedes and which had no other callers.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Design in docs/push-notifications.md. The short version: Apple and Google are unavoidable —
iOS suspends apps so only APNs can wake one, and Android only accepts pushes from FCM — but
Expo is not. Its push service is a relay in front of both and does not remove either
credential, so we talk to Apple and Google ourselves.
Both protocols were verified in Bun before designing around them: node:http2 works as a
client (APNs is HTTP/2-only), and ES256 signing produces the raw 64-byte r||s form Apple
requires rather than Node's default DER, which is silently rejected. No push library is
needed for either channel.
The load-bearing decision is the payload: a push is a doorbell, not a message. Apple and
Google see metadata regardless, so they must not also see content — a notification carries a
category and an id, never a subject, sender or error, and the app composes the visible text
locally and fetches the real thing over the tailnet on tap.
This commit is the registry: push_devices, holding native APNs/FCM tokens. environment is a
column because APNs sandbox and production are different hosts AND different token
namespaces — a debug-build token fails against production with a silent BadDeviceToken, so
guessing is not an option. Registration upserts on (token, bundle_id) because tokens rotate
and the app re-registers every launch. Failure counting prunes dead tokens; a hard rejection
deletes at once.
Nothing sensitive lands here: a token is useless without the APNs key or FCM service
account, both of which stay in the sidecar's env.
NOTE: `bun db:push` will fail until the telegram/whatsapp/discord rows are deleted from
server_integrations — the CHECK constraint added earlier refuses while they exist. That is
the enforcement working, not a problem to route around.

nav-test-checklist.md and email-migration-checklist.md moved to the workspace root, out of
version control.
They are working notes for a migration in progress — which checks have been clicked through
on this machine and which have not. That is state about one host at one moment, not
something a clone of the repo should carry, and it goes stale the instant the migration
finishes. The reference docs they were sitting next to are the opposite: they describe the
system and should travel with it.
The root CLAUDE.md, which pointed at both by their tracked paths, now points at the new
location and records the convention so the next one is put in the right place.

scripts/build/runtime.ts had no caller after the build:editor scripts went. Its own usage
text gives away where it came from: --experiments, --tracking, --editor-setup, the same
phantom domain as the docs and examples cleaned up earlier. Nothing else references it —
the `./runtime` export in src/workspaces/types/package.json points at a different file,
which is untouched. helpers.ts stays; dashboard.ts and web.ts import it.
APP_CONVENTIONS.md carried its own copy of "React 19's compiler handles memoization. Never
use useCallback or useMemo." Correcting only CONVENTIONS.md would have left the two
contradicting each other, which is worse than either. Both now say the same thing and one
points at the other for the reasoning.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Same origin as the phantom docs in the last commit — this architecture was based on another
project and some of its scripts came along without their targets.
- `build:editor` and its three variants run `scripts/build/editor.ts`, which has never
existed here. CLAUDE.md carried a note saying exactly that, which the note now outlives.
- `start:sidecar` / `stop:sidecar` / `restart:sidecar` / `logs:sidecar` drive
`systemctl … officer-pty-sidecar`, a systemd unit replaced by PM2. That unit still exists
on this host, enabled, pointing at a `monorepo/` directory that is gone, and has been
failing to start ever since — these scripts are how it stayed reachable.
CLAUDE.md's "Sidecar control" line pointed at the four systemd wrappers; it now says PM2 and
points at working-on-officer.md for which process a change needs restarted.
Verified afterwards that every remaining script's target exists. The rest of package.json is
untouched — the edit is nine lines out, no reformatting.

The root held four Markdown files that were not in any git repo and were being read as
current. CLAUDE_SIDECAR_ISOLATION.md is the one that prompted this: it describes, in the
present tense, an agent that dies whenever officer restarts. That was true when it was
written and has not been true for two days.
Rather than delete analysis that version control was not holding, the two substantial ones
moved into platform/docs/ with headers that say what has since happened:
- claude-sidecar-isolation.md — stages 0-2 are done and running (R1, R2, R4, R5 all
satisfied); stages 3-5 are the only live part.
- sidecar-audit-2026-07.md — a snapshot audit, largely executed. Email, pty, music and vnc
have been done since; claude, opencode and the cross-cutting notes are still open. The
vault stays off-limits.
MUSIC_IMAGES_SPEC.md is deleted outright: the sidecar serves /image and /poster, so the
spec is the feature. The workspace root now holds one Markdown file, CLAUDE.md, which is
where cross-cutting operational reality belongs.
Also corrected, in the same pass:
- root CLAUDE.md listed email as "the big one, and untouched" and pty stage 4 as
outstanding; both are done. It now names what actually remains (claude stages 3-5, the
terminal orphan leak) and what landed.
- docs/sidecar-topology.md said "nothing built yet". Two sidecars now serve their own
transport; what has NOT happened is the part the document is about — fixed ports, the
shared table, .env toggles — so it says exactly that rather than implying the design is
underway. Migration order updated: pty and email went first, not music.
- docs/navigation-audit.md is cited as authoritative but still planned work on Projects,
a feature since deleted. A status header marks H3 void, H1/H2 done and H4 the one open
item, so nobody follows it into a directory that no longer exists.

Second pass. These three are the ones a new contributor reads first, and all three were
teaching things that are not true here.
src/databases/CLAUDE.md claimed "Three PostgreSQL databases", listed two, and there is
exactly one. Its type examples were Screenshot / Experiment / Company / GanOauth — none of
which have ever existed in this repo; it had been carried over from another project
wholesale. Rewritten against the real schema, queries and types, and it now carries the two
things that actually bite: push-not-migrations, and the rule that the schema is the source
of truth for what the database may CONTAIN, not just its shape — with the sql.raw trap in
check() written down, since getting it wrong breaks push for the whole schema.
src/apps/CLAUDE.md had the same problem in its examples (useExperimentsList, ExperimentCard,
a state/ directory layout that does not exist), listed a `useWebsockets` hook that is not
there while omitting useChatWebSocket, usePanelChannel and useJobs, and closed with links to
three app docs that have never existed. Examples now use real hooks, and it points at the
navigation audit — a frontend doc that did not mention the one rule the platform CLAUDE.md
calls authoritative was a real gap.
CONVENTIONS.md said, in bold, that useMemo and useCallback are "strictly prohibited" because
"React 19's compiler handles memoization automatically". Wrong twice: the React Compiler is
an opt-in build plugin that is NOT installed here, so React 19 memoizes nothing on its own —
and roughly 40 files use each hook regardless, including code added this week. Replaced with
guidance that matches both reality and the actual tradeoff, and says plainly what it used to
claim. A rule that is false and universally ignored makes every other rule in the file look
optional.

First pass of the documentation audit. Every doc was read against what the code actually
does now; this commit fixes the ones worth keeping and deletes the ones that were only
describing a past.
Corrected:
- CLAUDE.md — said seven WebSocket providers (there are eight, and terminal/vault are byte
relays now, not translating bridges), listed channels/ as "Telegram / WhatsApp / Discord
bridges" (they are gone; what remains is how /chat drives an agent turn), missed
officer-wallet in the PM2 list and notify/ in the layout, and described the per-account
email SQLite stores without saying they are the sidecar's and that nothing in the platform
opens them. Further Reading pointed at four files that no longer exist and missed the four
newest.
- docs/working-on-officer.md — PM2 list was four sidecars short, and it still explained the
officer-claude rename as news. Replaced with the thing a reader actually needs: which
process to restart for which change, and why restarting officer no longer costs you a
terminal or an agent session.
- TODO.md — the "dead username plumbing" item was mostly resolved by deleting the channels,
and two email items pointed at api/email/email-db.ts, which is sidecar/email/store.ts now.
- AGENTS.md — trailing paragraph listed the design notes being deleted here.
- MUSIC_API.md — playlists were entirely undocumented: seven endpoints the phone app has no
reference for. Added from the sidecar's own contract.
- docs/jobs-unification.md — phases 1-3 shipped, so it now says so at the top. Phase 4 (push
notifications) is the only reason the file still exists, and email sync is explicitly no
longer part of it.
Deleted, all superseded rather than merely old:
- PHONE_APP.md — a February plan for apps that now exist, with their own repo and README.
- MARKETING_WEBSITE.md — a plan for a site this repo does not contain.
- SECURITY_AUDIT.md + SECURITY_FIXES.md — a February audit of a codebase since restructured;
it still cites queue/handlers, which is now empty.
- docs/DOCKERIZATION_PLAN.md — cites pty-sidecar, whatsapp and projects, all deleted.
- SETUP_GUIDE.md — documents systemd units and setup scripts replaced by PM2 and `bun setup`.
Not harmless: /etc/systemd/system/officer-pty-sidecar.service is still enabled on this host,
pointing at a `monorepo/` directory that no longer exists, and has been failing to start
ever since. That guide is how it got there.

bun db:push failed for the whole schema with "there is no parameter $1" (42P02), after
"Pulling schema from database" succeeded. It was not caused by any recent change — pushing
with the new wallet table stashed reproduced it identically on HEAD.
The two provider CHECK constraints built their allowed-value lists with sql`${p}` over
JavaScript strings. Interpolating a JS value into a sql template binds it as a parameter, so
the constraint was emitted as
CHECK ("provider" IN ($1, $2))
and Postgres rejects a parameter reference inside a CHECK. sql.raw renders the literals
instead. Safe because both lists are compile-time const tuples, not input.
Push now generates valid SQL. It still stops on server_integrations, where three rows
(discord, telegram, whatsapp) predate the constraint and violate it — real data, and the
owner's to decide about, since their config holds bot tokens.
Unrelated but worth recording: drizzle wants to name a user_integrations foreign key at 65
characters and Postgres truncates identifiers at 63, so the name it reads back never matches
the name it asked for and that constraint is proposed for drop/recreate on every push.
Cosmetic churn, not addressed here.

Opening a wallet meant waiting for a full gap-limit scan before any number appeared, and a
restart threw that work away. Worse, an unreachable Esplora rendered identically to an empty
wallet — as a zero balance — which is alarming for the one case where it is not true.
The backend now keeps a snapshot and serves it stale-while-revalidate: a snapshot inside the
TTL is served as-is, an older one is served immediately with a refresh started behind it, and
only a wallet that has genuinely never been read blocks on the network. wallet_chain_cache
holds one row per wallet so a refresh is a single atomic upsert.
The snapshot, not the endpoint, is the unit of caching. Balances, UTXOs and history were
three fetches over a shared scan, so the three queries a wallet screen fires on mount could
each observe a different moment; building them together costs the same requests and fixes
that incidentally.
Only the chain's own facts are stored. Addresses, scripts and pubkeys are re-derived from the
account xpub on load — cheaper than persisting them, and it means a restored snapshot cannot
disagree with the wallet's actual keys. Stored coordinates are validated rather than trusted,
and a snapshot at an unknown version is discarded, not migrated.
Two reads deliberately opt out. sendCoins takes a fresh snapshot because selecting coins from
a cached UTXO set builds a transaction spending outputs that may already be gone, and that
failure arrives as a broadcast rejection after signing. nextUnused does too, because handing
out an address whose stale record says "unused" is silent address reuse — a privacy leak the
owner cannot see or undo. Receive-address generation is therefore the one read that stops
working while the upstream is down, on purpose.
Failures are recorded alongside the last good snapshot rather than replacing it; wiping data
on failure would reproduce the exact bug this exists to fix. Every cache operation is
best-effort, so a database problem degrades to a slow load and can never fail a wallet
request. A sync block on balances, transactions and utxos carries the age to the UI, which
now distinguishes "empty" from "never read".
Verified against three live mainnet wallets: snapshots persisted and reloaded, and two
wallets kept their data and age through a real Esplora rate-limit failure while recording the
error separately.

A wallet whose Esplora endpoint was slow or down rendered as a wallet with no data at all,
rather than as an error. The cause was a timeout inversion: Bun.serve's default idleTimeout
is 10s, which is shorter than the Esplora client's own 20s per-request timeout. Bun killed
the response before the scan could either finish or report why it had not, so the failure
never reached the handler that would have surfaced it.
The ceiling has to sit above the whole gap-limit walk, not one request — a scan is many
sequential rounds of address queries. Raised to 255s, Bun's maximum, which is what every
other sidecar already uses.

An LND seed is not a BIP39 mnemonic. It shares the 24-word shape and the English wordlist,
which is exactly why it fails confusingly: the words validate as plausible input, the
checksum does not, and the user is told their own seed is invalid.
aezeed is a different construction — a 19-byte payload (version, birthday, 16-byte entropy)
sealed with AEZ under scrypt(passphrase, salt), with the salt carried in the mnemonic
itself. So it needs its own decipher, not a flag on the BIP39 path. The vendored aez/aezeed
implementation under sidecar/wallet/aezeed does that, and the recovered entropy becomes the
BIP32 root the same way BIP39 output does.
The seed envelope gains a kind ('bip39' | 'aezeed') so an unlock knows which derivation to
run rather than guessing from word count, which cannot distinguish them.
Also note the aezeed passphrase is not a BIP39 passphrase: it decrypts the seed rather than
salting the derivation, so a wrong one fails the checksum outright instead of silently
producing a different wallet. The UI can therefore tell the user they typed it wrong, which
is not possible for BIP39.

Signing in from a server-to-server client returned 500. originMiddleware leaves `origin`
undefined when a request has neither Origin nor Referer — exactly what such a client sends —
and signin.ts took it as a string, passed it into getPasskeysByUserIdAndOrigin, and Postgres
rejected the undefined parameter. It would have thrown on origin.startsWith() a few lines
later too.
It used to be unreachable: originValidationMiddleware rejected origin-less requests before
the handler ran, so the value was always a string by the time anything touched it. Turning
the origin checks off removed that gate without the code behind it ever having needed to
cope. This is the second thing that flag has surfaced rather than caused.
The two call sites want different answers, so they get different ones:
- signin normalises to ''. No passkey is registered against the empty origin, so an
origin-less caller gets an empty list and falls through to password auth, which is what it
is asking for.
- the four passkey routes now refuse with 400 "Passkey operations require an Origin header".
WebAuthn is defined in terms of an origin — a passkey is registered against one and is only
verifiable against the same one — so substituting '' there would be quietly wrong.
Also flips ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN to default ON: the checks are off unless it is explicitly
'false'. A deliberate inversion of fail-closed, safe because of where this runs — the
perimeter is the tailnet, devices are admitted by hand, and every protected route still
requires a valid token. Verified both directions: unset lets a foreign origin through,
ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN=false rejects it. The origin test suite pins the flag off, so it still
asserts the checks reject things rather than passing vacuously.

`provider` was free text on both integration tables, which is how rows for telegram,
whatsapp and discord went on holding bot tokens long after the code that read them was
deleted: nothing structural said they had stopped being legal, so nothing noticed.
A CHECK constraint on each table now lists what may exist — google/apify for the server,
google/browser-relay for the user. Adding an integration means adding it to the list, which
is the point: the schema is the source of truth for what the database may contain, so a
provider the code no longer supports cannot sit there unnoticed.
This does NOT delete the existing rows, and no schema change can — drizzle-kit push diffs
structure, never data. What it does instead is refuse: push will fail to add the constraint
while violating rows exist. That is the enforcement working rather than a problem to route
around; the three rows have to go first, and then the structure guarantees they cannot come
back.

All three existed to drive the platform from a chat app. The phone app does that now, so
they are dead weight — three bot gateways, three command parsers, account pairing, admin
config screens and bot tokens sitting in the database.
Gone entirely: telegram/ and whatsapp/, discord/'s bot and command handler, the shared
channel plumbing they were the only users of (pairing.ts, send-and-await.ts, types.ts,
routes.ts and its 20 config/pairing/status endpoints), the six settings components, and
their sections in the integrations screen.
What Discord keeps is the one piece worth keeping — pushing a message out — as
notify/discord.ts, configured by DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL in the env. No UI, no pairing, no
stored credential, and it never throws: a notification that fails to send is logged and
dropped. Unset means notifications are silently skipped, which is the default state.
Kept deliberately: send-claude-code.ts and send-opencode.ts. They live under channels/ but
have nothing to do with chat apps — they are how /chat and the pipeline executor drive an
agent turn.
Also drops four dependencies with no remaining importer (discord.js,
node-telegram-bot-api, whatsapp-web.js, qrcode), and the /sync-now route added to the email
sidecar an hour ago, whose only consumer was the channel handlers.
The "Channel Models" settings section stays, with its description corrected — it is keyed
off the general access policy rather than anything channel-specific, so it governs non-owner
accounts, not chat apps. Whether that whole class still earns its place is the open
question already noted against origin-validation.
Not touched: the telegram, whatsapp and discord rows in server_integrations, which still
hold their bot tokens. Deleting rows is a different kind of decision and the SQL is in the
handover.

Stage 2, and the end of the inversion. The two sync handlers (1,093 lines) ran in the
platform's queue, which meant the sidecar reached back over its registration socket to ask
the platform to enqueue work, and the credentials travelled through Postgres job metadata to
get there. Option (A) from the plan: they run here now, and the Jobs screen is left to the
things it actually describes.
The handlers moved almost unedited. Their bodies were already a list of steps taking a
context, so sync-runner.ts synthesizes that context and runs them; what went away is the
JobHandler wrapper and the registration. `job.userId` is the OWNER'S EMAIL rather than a
numeric id — the queue's naming — and it resolves the mail store path, so it is called out
in the type. That is the same field whose absence made the mailbox read as empty two commits
ago; it is set from user.email and checked this time.
Deliberately not a queue: one run per account, no persistence, no retry. A failure is picked
up by the ten-minute cron like any other, and a sync interrupted by a restart resumes from
the stored cursor rather than the beginning. PermanentError survives as a local class — it
signalled "do not retry" to the queue and now just carries its message to the sync state.
accounts.ts asks the runner whether an account is syncing instead of scanning job rows, and
the queue-over-WS shim in index.ts is gone: enqueueViaWs, listJobsViaWs, the pending-response
map and the queue branch in the command handler. Nothing but a port crosses that socket now.
The three chat channels stop opening the mail store directly. They each carried their own
copy of count-rows / enqueue / poll / count-again, coupling three chat bridges to the mail
schema — and they enqueued `gmail-sync` unconditionally, the OAuth path, for an
app-password account that syncs over IMAP, so the command was already broken. One shared
helper calls a new POST /sync-now on the sidecar, which syncs and reports what arrived.
queue/handlers/ is now empty; both handlers there were email. The queue is untouched and
still serves the Jobs screen.
Not moved, and fine where they are: scripts/migrate-emails-to-sqlite.ts and
scripts/seed-imap-uids.ts are one-off maintenance scripts that open the store directly.

The mailbox read as empty after the migration — "No emails synced yet", and Sync Now
reporting no new mail against 18,430 messages that were sitting on disk untouched.
The store is keyed by the owner's email: DATA_PATH/<owner>/email_accounts/<account>/emails.db.
The platform's userMiddleware put the entire user row on the context, so `user.email`
resolved. The proxy injects only an id, and the middleware I wrote to replace it set
`{ id }` and nothing else — so `user.email` was undefined, the path never resolved to the
real mailbox, reads found nothing, and the sync compared against an empty set and concluded
there was nothing new. Nothing was written to the wrong place and no data was touched.
The sidecar loads the full row via getUserById now, matching what the middleware provided.
Cached: it runs on every request and single-user is a hard invariant.
Worth keeping in mind for the sidecars still to be extracted — moving routes across a
process boundary silently changes what is on the context, and it type-checks either way.

Written to be run later rather than now, so it says what changed underneath and where a
failure will land: the routes moved verbatim, but the transport (browser → proxy → sidecar
HTTP) and the source of user identity (X-Officer-User instead of userMiddleware) did not,
and that is where breakage will cluster.
Includes the attribution table — 503 vs 502 vs 401 each point at a different half — and
flags the two things that are expected rather than wrong: sync still runs platform-side on
purpose, and the channel handlers' "sync emails" was already broken before this.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Email was the one sidecar built inside out. The platform held ~1,800 lines — the per-account
SQLite store, all 14 HTTP routes, account CRUD, resync, IMAP validation — while the 314-line
sidecar was a scheduler that reached BACK into the platform to do anything
(`import { performResync } from '../../api/email/resync'`).
The sidecar now serves its own HTTP listener and announces `email:server`, and
/api/email/* on the platform is createSidecarProxy like every other one: 1,801 lines down
to 22, with no mail knowledge left in it — not a message, not a folder, not a credential.
The routes moved verbatim, Hono and all. http.ts only reconstructs what the platform's
middleware used to provide: `user` on the context, from the X-Officer-User header the proxy
injects (trusted because this server binds loopback), and an error handler that turns
custom-errors into status codes.
The /email/events SSE stream went with them, which removes a whole round trip: the IDLE
watcher used to send `email:new` over the registration socket so the platform could push to
its SSE clients. Those clients are here now, so it calls broadcastEmailNew in-process and
`email:new` is gone from the wire protocol.
DELIBERATELY NOT DONE YET, and left backwards on purpose rather than half-moved:
- The two sync handlers (email-sync 381 lines, gmail-sync 712) still run in the platform's
queue and now import the store from its new home — a platform → sidecar import, which is
the wrong direction and is temporary. Moving them is option (A) from the plan: the sidecar
schedules its own syncs, independent of the platform Jobs list.
- accounts.ts still imports queue/init to enqueue a sync and to report sync status, and
index.ts still carries the queue-over-WS shim that inversion needs.
- The three channel handlers still open the mail store directly rather than asking over HTTP.
Two things worth knowing while testing: a from-scratch sync holds a proxied request open
well past the 60s idle default, hence timeoutSeconds on the proxy; and `gmail-sync` is
hardcoded in all three channel handlers even though the only account is provider=gmail with
auth_type=password, which routes to IMAP — so "sync emails" from a chat channel is
almost certainly already broken, and folds into the next stage.

createSidecarProxy arrived with the wallet but nothing else moved onto it, so five sidecars
still carried their own copy of the same two files: a sidecar-server.ts that remembered a
port announced as `<name>:server`, and a router.ts that forwarded the subpath. Byte for
byte identical once the app name was normalised away — which is exactly what the factory's
own header said it existed to end.
headscale, transmission, invoiceshelf, slskd and music are now wallet-shaped: create the
proxy, export the router and the URL getter. 386 lines deleted against 163 added, and the
five feature directories go from ~70 lines each to ~18.
Two deviations were real and moved INTO the factory rather than being dropped, because both
are HTTP concerns rather than app knowledge:
- Range and If-None-Match are now forwarded for every sidecar. music needed both (seeking,
and ETag revalidation returning a cheap 304 instead of a cover image) and slskd needed
Range. Forwarding them everywhere costs nothing and removes the reason to hand-roll.
- timeoutSeconds, used only by music at 1800. A from-scratch reindex holds the proxied
connection open for minutes with no bytes flowing, which the 60s idle timeout would drop.
It applies to the whole prefix — the proxy must not know which of a sidecar's routes are
slow.
The five side-effect imports in hono.ts are gone with them: the port listener now registers
when createSidecarProxy runs inside the router this file already imports. Vault keeps its
hand-rolled pair and its side-effect import — it is off-limits by standing instruction, and
is the one sidecar this commit deliberately does not touch.

Terminals were a set of commands the platform drove. Officer sent pty:init / pty:input /
pty:resize / pty:close / pty:list over the registration socket, subscribed to ONE global
output stream, filtered every frame down to a session and rewrapped it — double
JSON-encoded — on the way out. That is terminal knowledge living in the process whose job
is authentication, and it made officer part of the data path for every keystroke.
The sidecar now serves its own loopback HTTP + WebSocket listener and announces the port
as `pty:server`, like every other HTTP sidecar. Officer authenticates the upgrade and
relays frames without reading them.
Split into three files, because "the sidecar" was one:
- sessions.mjs — the shell store. Spawn, attach, detach, resize, kill, scrollback, the
OSC-title scrape. Clients are a Set per session, so two panels can watch one shell.
- server.mjs — the listener. /ws speaks the browser's existing contract unchanged
({input,resize} in, {output,replay,exit,panel-refresh} out), plus /_officer/sessions,
DELETE /_officer/sessions/:id and POST /_officer/panel-refresh.
- index.mjs — the registration socket, and nothing else. It carries a port now.
On the platform side /api/terminal/* becomes createSidecarProxy, deleting the hand-rolled
router from two days ago, and websocket.ts drops from a translating bridge to a byte relay
modelled on the vault one. The whole PtyCommand/PtyEvent/PtyInitConfig/PtySessionInfo
vocabulary is gone from protocol.ts, connect.ts and sidecar-registry.ts.
broadcastPanelRefresh is now a POST to the sidecar: officer no longer holds terminal
sockets to loop over. Fire-and-forget — a missed refresh is a stale panel, not a failure.
The frontend did not move. The sidecar speaks what the browser already spoke.
The integration test was rewritten against the new shape, and tests something stronger than
before: officer is stopped mid-session and the shell keeps streaming, because officer is
not in the path at all. It also covers re-attach replay, the session list and kill.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Tmux panel typed bare `tmux`, which starts a NEW session every time — so the panel
forgot your windows whenever the shell behind it went away, including on a
`pm2 restart officer-pty`. It now runs `new-session -A -s <name>`, which attaches if the
session exists and creates it otherwise, named per panel from panelId (stable in the saved
layout). The tmux server outlives the pty, so this survives what a pty session cannot.
CommandTerminalWrapper had the same unmount bug TerminalWrapper did — it deleted the panel
-> session mapping on unmount, so every layout change abandoned the shell AND re-ran the
command from scratch. Kept across unmounts now, same as the plain terminal.
Two things the seeded .tmux.conf needs that were missing:
- COLORTERM=truecolor in the pty env. TERM only advertises 256 colours, and COLORTERM is
what programs check before emitting 24-bit — so we were throwing away colour depth for
tmux, neovim, bat, delta and any modern TUI. xterm.js renders it fine.
- macOptionIsMeta. On macOS Option is a compose key, so Alt bindings never reach the shell
— silently breaking the M-arrow and M-hjkl pane switching the config leans on. No effect
on other platforms. Also rightClickSelectsWord, so right-click stops opening the browser
menu over the terminal.
Adds a Running Shells panel: every shell the sidecar holds, with the title it set for
itself (usually the running command), pid, size, idle and uptime, and a kill button.
That is the other half of keeping session mappings across unmounts — the leak stops being
invisible, and stops needing curl to find.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Closing a terminal panel abandoned its shell. TerminalWrapper deleted the panel -> session
mapping on *unmount*, so any layout or route change generated a fresh uuid on the way back
and left the old shell running: alive, unreachable, and never killed, because nothing has
ever sent pty:close. The mapping now outlives the mount, so reopening a panel re-attaches
to the shell you left — which is also what finally makes the sidecar's replay buffer worth
having. It is persisted dashboard state, so this survives a reload too.
That trades an invisible leak for a visible one: a panel deleted for good still leaves its
shell behind. So `pty:list` now enumerates live sessions, and GET /api/terminal/sessions +
DELETE /api/terminal/sessions/:id expose them. pty:close finally has a sender.
Each session carries createdAt, lastActivityAt, pid, and the title the shell sets for
itself via OSC 0/2 — usually the running command, which is what turns "some uuid" into
"the one running claude" when you are deciding what to kill.
Killing on unmount is still not an option: it needs the panel system to distinguish a real
close from an incidental remount, which it cannot currently do.
Also raises the sidecar replay buffer from 50KB to 512KB — 50KB was about one long agent
turn, so reconnecting mid-task showed you the tail and nothing before it — and cuts the
buffer on a line boundary rather than a byte offset. A blind slice can land inside an
escape sequence, and the replay then opens with the tail of a colour or cursor-move code,
which xterm renders as garbage or applies as a real instruction.

The terminal was xterm with one addon (fit) and a single fit() call at connect, so the
shell kept whatever cols/rows it was born with. Drag a panel wider and the PTY never
heard about it — anything drawing a full screen (an agent TUI, top, vim) rendered into a
box that no longer matched the one you were looking at. A ResizeObserver now refits and
sends pty:resize, coalesced to one fit per frame because dragging an edge fires
continuously and each fit reflows.
Scrollback goes from xterm's default 1000 lines to 10,000 — one long agent turn was
enough to lose the start of it.
Addons, all off the shelf and none previously loaded:
- webgl — the renderer, and the reason fast repainting feels smooth rather than syrupy.
Guarded twice: construction can throw where there is no GL context, and the context can
be lost later, so both paths fall back to the DOM renderer instead of a dead canvas.
- unicode11 (+ allowProposedApi) — correct widths for emoji, CJK and box-drawing. The
default unicode 6 tables are why agent TUI frames sit a column out.
- web-links — URLs in output are clickable.
- search — with a find bar on Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-F. Not plain Ctrl-F: that is forward-one-char
in readline and emacs, and swallowing it would break every shell in the app.
- serialize — installed for exact-state replay, not yet wired.
Also reports the shell's own title (OSC 0/2) and the bell through new optional callbacks,
so a panel can show what is running in it and flag a finished turn you weren't watching.
Nothing consumes them yet.
Unrelated but found by this run: three origin-validation tests were failing. Not from this
change — ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN=true in .env, added last night, and Bun loads the host .env into
tests, so the kill switch had silently turned the assertions into no-ops. The test now pins
both escape hatches off, since its whole job is asserting the checks reject things.

the wallet adopts it first: two files become one, 54 lines of router

the owner's work, committed as one unit rather than split: the registration
files (App.tsx, Dock, AppRegistry, hono.ts, the schema and db barrels,
ecosystem.config.cjs) all reference modules under src/servers/{api,sidecar}/wallet

a /invoices workspace screen replicating the parts of the invoiceshelf web ui
that are actually used: dashboard, invoices, estimates, recurring invoices,
payments, expenses, customers, items and reports.
one document editor serves invoices, estimates and recurring invoices — they
share the line-item table, the discounts, the taxes and the totals, and differ
only in a header strip. the arithmetic is a port of upstream's
use-document-calculations, rounding points included, because the server
re-validates the totals it is sent. money is integer minor units throughout and
is converted to major units at the edges only.
selection and editor state live in the url (`/invoices/:section`, `?selected=`,
`?edit=`), so the nav highlight is derived rather than held, back closes an
editor instead of leaving the screen, and a half-written form survives a reload.
sending a document is behind an explicit confirmation — it emails the customer.

owns the invoiceshelf contract: instance url, sanctum token and the company
header that scopes every request. the platform side is the usual thin
auth+forward proxy at /api/invoiceshelf and holds no credentials.
built against the live 2.4.2 instance rather than the 3.0.0-alpha.1 checkout
in _references — the route allow-list came from artisan route:list on the
running container. they differ: 2.4.2 has estimates/{id}/convert-to-invoice
but no invoices/{id}/convert-to-estimate.
three upstream quirks absorbed here:
- accept: application/json is mandatory, or an unauthenticated request 302s
to an html login instead of returning 401
- origin/referer must never be sent, or statefulapi() switches to session+csrf
and every request 419s. the proxy forwards neither.
- a wrong company header does not error, it silently returns another company's
data. the pinned company is explicit and logged.
document pdfs are repaired: 2.4.2 prefixes them with a literal serialised http
response (201 bytes) inside a body already typed application/pdf. we slice to
the %PDF- magic. the report routes don't have the bug.
resources are an allow-list. backups, disks, modules, update/*, installation/*,
mail config, settings writes and ownership transfer stay unreachable, and the
per-resource action list keeps `send` — which really emails the customer —
from being reachable by accident.

the example stopped at the core five and never mentioned the sidecars, so a
fresh checkout gave no hint that transmission, slskd or the vault are
configured at all. every value here is a placeholder.
notes the two things that are easy to get wrong: transmission rejects an
empty basic header, so user/pass must stay empty rather than blank-filled
when the daemon has no rpc auth; and HEADSCALE_URL/API_KEY drive /api/vpn,
not the officer-headscale sidecar, which deliberately reads neither.

officer-transmission is a new pm2 peer that owns the transmission rpc
connection and exposes a curated /_officer/* contract instead of proxying
raw rpc. it absorbs the three quirks callers otherwise have to know about:
the 409 x-transmission-session-id handshake, failures returned as
{"result": "..."} inside http 200, and basic auth where an empty username
must send no header at all.
/transmission is the ui, on the workspace/panel framework: a filter nav and
three sections (torrents, stats, settings). the torrent list is virtualised
with 30 available columns, multi-select, and a right-click menu; the detail
pane covers general, files as a real tree, peers and trackers. filters and
the open torrent live in the url, so a filtered view is a link.
phase 1 goal was parity with _references/transmission-web. follow-up work is

domain routes in the sidecar: nodes with per-route approval done as a
read-modify-write (headscale's approve_routes replaces the whole set),
users enriched with node counts, and pre-auth keys.
pre-auth key secrets are revealed by call path, not by inspecting the
value. headscale masks keys created since 0.28, but returns older
plaintext ones in full from the list endpoint for backwards
compatibility, so listing would otherwise ship live secrets into the
browser's query cache. the list always nulls the secret; only creation
reveals it, and the ui shows it once with a copy affordance.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
officer-headscale owns the whole Headscale contract: the registered servers and
their admin api keys, the >=0.29 version floor, and every multi-call composition
the ui needs. the platform side is auth+forward only and holds no headscale
credentials, so the existing /api/vpn/enroll route and its HEADSCALE_* env vars
are untouched and unrelated.
officer manages many servers rather than one. the owner registers each with a url
and a key generated on that server and switches between them; exactly one is
active, enforced by a partial unique index rather than by convention. keys are
encrypted at rest and never leave the sidecar — the list projection cannot return
one. registration validates before it saves: an unauthenticated GET /version to
prove something headscale-shaped is there and meets the floor, then an
authenticated call to prove the key works. an edit that moves either half
re-validates.
there is deliberately no transparent /api/v1/* passthrough. headscale serialises
every uint64 as a json string and its rest shape moved repeatedly below 0.29;
proxying raw would push all of that into the browser, which is the mistake the
soulseek panels made with 37 raw upstream calls.
the /headscale workspace is nav + view over the panel system. only the servers
section is implemented — nodes, users and pre-auth keys say so plainly rather
than rendering an empty table that reads as a failed fetch.

The /api/music exemption was not enough on its own: an app has to reach /api/auth to sign
in before it ever calls its own feature, so the login was still 403ing on Invalid origin.
ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN=true now accepts every Origin everywhere and skips the per-origin path
scoping. Set on this host; ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN_MUSIC stays as the narrower option.
The account backstop is deliberately NOT disabled — a valid non-owner token is still
confined to /api/auth + /api/music whatever Origin it claims, because that rule is
account-based rather than origin-based, and it is the airtight half of the pair. Every
protected route still requires a valid token.
Reverting is an env edit and a restart. Both flags and their call sites come out when the
tailnet becomes the perimeter.

Off unless ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN_MUSIC=true, so it is opt-in per host and reverting is an env
edit rather than a deploy. Set on this host now; the flag and the two call sites come out
when the tailnet becomes the perimeter and the music app stops needing to be public.
It drops one layer, not the lock: /api/music still requires a valid token through
userMiddleware, and the non-owner account backstop in originScopeMiddleware still confines
music accounts to /api/auth + /api/music whatever Origin they claim. Worth being plain
about what is lost — Origin was never authentication here. `officer://<hex>` is chosen by
the client, trivially forged outside a browser, and extractable from any shipped app
binary. It is defence in depth, and this removes it for one path prefix.
Two gates had to know: userMiddleware, which is what actually 403s, and the CORS origin
callback, which would otherwise echo an empty origin and block a browser client that
userMiddleware had already allowed through.

The owner's design, agreed in conversation and written down before it evaporates — this
session started by recovering a design that had been lost with its chat.
The premise is what makes it small: the tailnet becomes the perimeter and devices are
admitted by hand, so there is no authentication work inside it. Sidecars keep trusting
their caller; the boundary moves from loopback to the tailnet.
Six points: ecosystem is the source of truth and PM2 starts everything (peers, never
children — that was the tree-kill bug); one fixed port per sidecar; the platform reads the
table rather than being told at runtime; .env toggles features; NPM maps /api/<feature>
straight at the sidecar; the platform keeps auth and the frontend's own state and comes off
the data path.
What it buys is deletion: connect.ts's dial-and-register loop, every *:server port
announcement, and most of sidecar-registry.ts.
Also records what was considered and dropped — token distribution to every sidecar, a
public auth sidecar with JWKS, and the idea that Origin headers are a security boundary —
so none of it gets re-argued from scratch.
Nothing is built. Music is the first migration, end to end, with officer's proxy kept as a
fallback.

Each app origin was declared three times — destructured from process.env, listed in
APP_ORIGINS, then given a rule — so adding an app meant editing the same file in three
places and remembering all three. Two apps in and the list was already wrong: OffTail had
been added to .env as OFF_SCALE_ORIGIN, which nothing read, so it did nothing.
Any `OFFICER_<APP>_ORIGIN` in the environment is now an app origin, and its rule comes
from its own name: an app may reach /api/auth (it has to sign in) plus the one feature it
is named for, so OFFICER_VAULT_ORIGIN gets /api/vault without being told. Adding an app is
adding an env var.
Two things stay hand-written because they are not that convention:
- OWNER_ONLY_APPS ('APP') — the main app is the whole platform rather than one feature of
it, so it keeps full access but owner-only. A different kind of rule, not a path scope.
- APP_SCOPE_OVERRIDES ('TAIL' → /api/vpn) — the one app whose name and API surface differ.
NON_OWNER_PATHS also stays, and is worth not mistaking for the music app's rule even
though the value matches: it is the ACCOUNT backstop, applied whatever Origin a caller
claims or omits, and it is the airtight half of that pair.
Also renames MUSIC_APP_ORIGIN to OFFICER_MUSIC_ORIGIN (the other three already had the
shape) and drops the dead OFF_SCALE_ORIGIN. Env and code changed together; .env on this
host is updated, so this needs a restart, not a migration.
Verified the derived rules against the live .env: APP → superAdminOnly, MUSIC →
auth+music, VAULT → auth+vault, TAIL → auth+vpn — identical to what was hardcoded.

The in-app Tailscale needs one thing from the platform: a way to turn an authenticated
Officer session into a Headscale pre-auth key, so the phone registers itself instead of
someone pasting a key by hand. The VPN's control and data planes talk directly to
Headscale — never through /api — so this is not a proxy and should not become one.
Headscale itself runs on a separate host, managed manually. The platform consumes
HEADSCALE_URL (also returned as controlUrl) and HEADSCALE_API_KEY, both from the host
env. Neither is set yet, which is why an unconfigured instance answers 503 rather than
crashing — Headscale is being stood up in parallel.
The response is `{ controlUrl, authKey }` exactly, because enrollVpn() in
@officer/core/officer-net.ts reads those two fields; changing the shape means changing the
app.
Two things the spec's sketch does not do:
- The `user` field changed meaning across Headscale versions — a name on <=v0.22, a
numeric id on v0.23+ — and we cannot see which one is running from here. So it resolves
the id via /api/v1/user and tries that first, falling back to the name. Whichever the
live server accepts wins, and neither version needs a config flag.
- Upstream calls carry a 10s timeout, and upstream error bodies are logged but never
returned to the client: that is an admin API and its errors are descriptive.
The standalone app's origin follows the platform's own convention rather than the spec's
literal: every other app origin is an env var with a scope rule, so this one is
OFFICER_TAIL_ORIGIN (set in .env on this host), restricted to /api/auth + /api/vpn the way
OffVault is restricted to /api/auth + /api/vault. The OffTail tile embedded in the main
Officer app needs nothing — it reuses OFFICER_APP_ORIGIN.
Not implemented: the optional GET/DELETE /api/vpn/devices. They are not needed for a first
connection and are better written against a running Headscale.

CLAUDE.md already told readers these were "older design notes" and to treat the code as
the source of truth. Keeping them is worse than that warning: they are detailed enough to
be believed, and every one of them describes an app that has since changed.
- OFFICERDEV_BACKEND.md, OFFICERDEV_FRONTEND.md — architecture snapshots from February;
CLAUDE.md and the code cover this now.
- SETUP_ANALYSIS.md — an analysis of problems in setup.sh, superseded by `bun setup`.
- event-handler-instances.md — the result of a one-off scan ("found 167 instances"),
regenerable with a grep in less time than reading it.
- HOOKS.md — a bare list of hook file paths, likewise.
- docs/per-user-api-keys.md — an architecture analysis for per-user API keys, which
contradicts the single-user hard invariant in CLAUDE.md.
Kept deliberately, though all are old: SECURITY_AUDIT.md and SECURITY_FIXES.md (a
findings record and its remediation log — not the kind of thing to bin on a hunch),
PHONE_APP.md (a native app is being built), MARKETING_WEBSITE.md and
docs/DOCKERIZATION_PLAN.md (plans that may not have been carried out yet), and
docs/jobs-unification.md.
