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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Phase C server half, and a real flaw in phase B.
On the subprocess path a second message could only supersede — kill the process, start again,
lose the turn — because opencode run has no input channel. The serve takes another prompt
into the running turn, so a message arriving mid-turn is handed over with delivery steer and
the existing turn is left exactly as it is.
Keeping the same turn object is the load-bearing part. Phase B retired it and registered a
replacement, which stops officer routing events the serve is still producing while the serve
carries on regardless: output goes nowhere and the turn looks hung.
Verified end to end through the chat socket — sent a count to 50, injected a change of plan
eight seconds in, and BANANA INJECTED came back inside the same turn with deltas streaming
throughout.
No client change was needed. Officer composer already sends while generating; the difference
is only what the sidecar does with it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
OPENCODE_TURNS=serve picks the new engine; unset keeps the subprocess, which is the default
and stays the default until this has been lived with. A bad evening should cost one restart,
not a revert. Claude is a different sidecar and is untouched.
Verified end to end through the real chat socket:
session:init -> tool:start(bash) -> tool:result -> assistant:delta x3 -> assistant:text
-> result, cost in=304 out=73
Those deltas are the first token streaming an opencode turn has ever produced in officer.
Stop is now an INTERRUPT: the turn ends and the session survives — verified by sending a
second prompt to the same session afterwards and getting an answer, which killing a
subprocess could never do.
Reads the LIVE global stream rather than the durable per-session one, because it is a strict
superset — same tool.called, tool.success, step.ended, text.ended, plus the deltas that are
the whole point. Global means one socket carries every session, so everything filters on
sessionID; one subscription is shared for the process rather than one per turn.
A turn ends on step.ended with finish != tool-calls. tool-calls is a step boundary MID-turn,
and treating it as terminal would cut every tool-using conversation in half.
delivery is stated explicitly as queue because it DEFAULTS to steer, which injects into a
running turn — wrong for an ordinary send, where two quick messages would merge into one.
Wiring steer to the button that means it is phase C.
What phase B does not do: read the durable stream. The sidecar still commits every event to
chat_session_events as it arrives, so durability is unchanged, but recovering a turn this
process never saw needs the ?after= cursor and is its own change.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The previous commit migrated only when SQLite was completely empty, on the assumption that a non-empty
file is an authoritative one. A real account disproved that within minutes of it landing.
The older Gmail backfill had already written SOME keys into SQLite — last_sync_at and the uidvalidity
set — and never the imap_lastuid ones. So the file was non-empty and half-migrated at the same time,
all-or-nothing skipped the migration, and nine imap_lastuid keys stayed only in Postgres. A missing
lastuid makes the next sync refetch that folder from UID 1: on the mailbox this was found on, 18,755
messages and 6.9 GB.
Now merged per key with the file always winning a conflict. That keeps the property all-or-nothing was
protecting — a restored older emails.db still overrides a newer Postgres row for every key it has, so it
cannot be advanced past mail it does not contain — and adds the keys the file never had, which are
exactly the ones whose absence is expensive.
Verified against the live account: all 22 Postgres keys present afterwards, imap_lastuid:INBOX restored
to 208407, and last_sync_at left at the file's older value, so it re-checks a fortnight rather than
skipping it.

I concluded a few commits ago that the serve new /api/session pipeline accepts prompts and
never executes them, and kept turns on opencode run. Wrong. Every probe behind that passed
an explicit model claude-sonnet-4-6, and THAT model silently does not run on the new
surface — no error, no event, no assistant message. Drop the field and the same request
completes.
One broken variable in every experiment, read as a property of the system.
Measured on 1.18.16, both machines upgraded today: delivery steer injects into a running
turn (verified, output changed to order), delivery queue runs after it (verified, ONE then
TWO, zero errors), and model selection works via POST /model — just not with sonnet.
So the fork is reopened and worth taking, targeting the new surface rather than the legacy
message path, which generates fine but has neither steer nor queue. Blocked only on why
sonnet dies there while working under opencode run.
Third time this project has hit the same trap: opencode accepts input it does not honour
and says nothing — directory in the body, location.directory that never existed, now model.
A probe that changes one thing and sees nothing has not learned the feature is missing.

The messages were in emails.db and the position — last_sync_at, and per-folder uidvalidity/lastuid —
was a jsonb column on email_accounts in Postgres. Two stores for one fact, with an edge that only shows
up when you try to move a mailbox to another machine.
The expensive part of an email account is the first sync: hours of IMAP for a large mailbox, which is
exactly why "copy emails.db to the new server" is the obvious way to bring one across. With the position
in Postgres that silently does not work — the new server's column is empty, !last_sync_at says first
sync, and the whole mailbox downloads again on top of the one just restored.
The other direction is quieter and worse. Restore an OLDER emails.db while Postgres holds a NEWER
position and the sidecar skips every message between the two, permanently, because nothing looks below
lastuid again. Re-syncing is slow; skipping mail is data loss nobody notices.
Not a new idea — the Gmail path already read SQLite and fell back to Postgres, backfilling so the
fallback was taken once. Only the IMAP path had not followed. This extracts that pattern so both use one
copy, and unifies the isFirstSync fork in accounts.ts, which is how the two drifted apart to begin with.
The file wins over Postgres, always, and only migrates when it holds nothing at all. Topping up a
partial position from Postgres would reintroduce precisely the divergence this removes.
email_accounts.sync_meta is kept and marked legacy rather than dropped: it is the one-time backfill
source for every account created before this, and dropping it would strand any that has not synced
since. Nothing writes to it now.
11 tests on the migration, aimed at both expensive failures — migrating when we should not, and failing
to migrate an account that predates the change.

The serve has a second, newer API surface nobody here had looked at, and it publishes
exactly what the parity doc calls impossible under stdin ignore: delivery steer and queue
on POST /prompt, an interrupt that does not tear down, and a per-session event stream with
an after cursor — the durable-replay machinery officer hand-built for claude, as a
primitive. That would have made migrating obvious.
It does not execute. A prompt is accepted with an admittedSeq, stored, emits
prompt.admitted and prompted, and then never steps. Ruled out separately: the model, the
permissions (build is *:allow, no pending requests), the per-request location (the surface
is location-scoped via header or a deepObject query, supplied everywhere, no change), and a
config gate. The legacy POST /session/id/message?directory= generates fine in 17s, so the
serve itself works — only the new pipeline is inert. session.next.* is the tell.
And not a version problem, which is the part everything here had backwards: this Mac runs
1.18.11 and alpha runs 1.17.9, measured. The dead pipeline was tested on the NEWER binary.
The original "this server runs 1.17.9" meant alpha and was copied to a machine where it was
false; corrected in runner.ts and the test.
So building against it now would produce code that looks finished and does nothing, which
is the failure mode this project keeps rediscovering. One request reopens the question
after any upgrade, and the doc names it.
Also de-flakes the lifecycle tests: they spawn real processes, and a fixed sleep(750) went
red once on a machine busy running these probes. Presence assertions poll now.

They were permanently unnamed, and the two halves needed to name them already existed on
officer: the sidecar reports its own sessionKey because that is all it has, while the ses_ id
arrives separately over opencode:session and is recorded in opencode/state.ts. Nothing joined
them. /chat/live joins them now, so no protocol or sidecar change — widening
LiveOpenCodeSession would have meant sending the sidecar a fact it told officer in the first
place.
One list call names every row rather than one transcript load each, and it is skipped when
nothing is running or no id has been reported, so an idle Live panel never touches the serve.
Verified against a real turn, which also showed the design working as intended: the first
poll has no id yet and shows nothing, the next shows title and cwd. That window is real and
short, and showing nothing beats showing a key the user has never seen.
Worth knowing: opencode titles its own sessions "New session - <ISO timestamp>", so the row
is located but not meaningfully named. That is genuinely its title, not a bug here.

B8 done, so every defect that made opencode behave wrongly is fixed. Notes what that does
not mean: bucket 1 is capability gaps, and the visible ones are downstream of the phase 2
fork, which is still unstarted and still Andre to call.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
B8, both halves. They share index.ts, so they share a commit.
In-flight turns: `opencode run` is spawned, not supervised, so pm2 restart officer-opencode
left every turn ALIVE — reparented, still spending tokens, still writing files as the agent,
with the only reader of its stdout gone. The transcript stopped mid-tool-call, which reads
as the agent hanging.
stopAllOpenCodeTurns kills them and settles each synchronously, because the caller is about
to process.exit and nothing waiting on proc.exited would ever run. Settling writes a reason,
so a reload after a restart explains itself instead of trailing off. Turns are stopped BEFORE
the connection is destroyed — that write travels over it — and the flush is bounded, since
losing the explanation is bad but hanging the restart is worse.
Stale serves: the sweep read /proc, so it was a no-op on macOS and orphaned serves piled up,
one per unclean exit, each holding a port. Added a pidfile sweep alongside it. A pid we wrote
ourselves needs no cwd guard to prove it is ours, which is the part ps cannot answer portably
(macOS would need lsof), and a serve started by hand is never in the file.
The guard checks command AND subcommand: matching the word serve anywhere in the line would
sweep a running turn whose prompt merely mentioned it. Fixtures are real ps output from both
machines, not invented. Split into serve-sweep.ts because index.ts spawns a serve at module
scope, so a test importing it would start one.

The bucket-0 table had no status anywhere; it lived in the report docs, which means the
list itself still reads as eight open defects. Says B1-B7 are done and where.
Also corrects B7 in place: the table describes the spurious cut-off only, and the same
default was mis-adopting the session into the wrong harness entirely.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
B7. `msg.model || DEFAULT_MODEL` declared every session without an explicit model to be
claude-code, and the parity doc recorded only the visible half of what that cost.
The durable false cut-off is real: endTurnIfAgentIsGone asked the claude sidecar about a
key it had never held, was told false, and wrote "the agent went away" into a turn that
was running fine. It survives reload, because surviving reload is what that row is for.
The same default also handed the session to adoptOrphanedSession as a claude one, which
subscribes it to that sidecar bus and pins session.model — so an opencode turn output
never arrived, and stopping it called killClaude on a key that sidecar never had. A stop
button that silently does nothing.
decideResume makes both rules explicit: the server record beats the client claim, and an
unknown harness stays unknown — no adoption, no cut-off check, just the replay. Silence
is the safe failure when the wrong answer is written durably.
DEFAULT_MODEL stays in handleAttach and is now commented as to why: that path reached its
sessionId by asking the claude sidecar to resolve a claudeSessionId, so only claude could
have answered.
First test in api/chat, which had none. websocket.ts has no seam to drive the handler
through, so the decision is extracted and tested; the wiring around it is not covered.

Agreed in conversation, nothing implemented. Light stops being a variant and becomes the baseline —
chat, terminal, file browser — and the other fourteen sidecars arrive by the user asking for them from
an app store, eventually including sidecars the user did not write.
Mostly not a rewrite, for three reasons already true: every API route stays mounted regardless of which
sidecars run, officer already spawns nothing, and service_connections already solves the multi-user
case. What is new is provisioning, per-sidecar schema, and persisted install state.
Docker: officer is the installer, never the owner. Real compose files in the user's own directory,
started as him, found again by label. `docker compose down` works, and the containers outlive Officer.
Per-sidecar schema is right here specifically because third-party plugins are a real goal, and the
dependency graph makes it tractable: measured across 19 schema files, every sidecar depends on auth.ts
and nothing else, with no sidecar-to-sidecar edges anywhere. So the plugin contract is "you may
reference users.id" — which also makes full uninstall well-defined, since nothing else points at a
plugin's tables.
service_connections stays core and shared rather than per-service, because it already does the part
nobody would get right alone: a NULL url means "inherit the instance", so the owner's row is the
instance and members hold only their own credential, making "members never see the instance URL" a
property of the schema instead of a filter someone has to remember.
Records six open questions rather than settling them, including plugin migrations, ID namespacing for a
marketplace, and where plugin-specific config lives.

The review was written as a handover; it became a fixed tree instead. Records what

Two comments describing behaviour the code does not have.
LiveOpenCodeSession had been inserted between LiveClaudeSession and its docblock, so a
comment about isGenerating, pendingTasks and the idle GC read as documentation for the
OpenCode type — where it is contradicted by the correct comment directly beneath it.
Moved below, and it now states that it carries no ses_ id.
That absence is the point: /chat/live claimed title and cwd come from the session store
"so a turn whose id has not been reported yet shows unnamed". Nothing is looked up, and
there is no id here to look one up with. They are null permanently, not until-known.

A replaced turn is killed but dies asynchronously, so its proc.exited fired long after
the replacement was registered under the same sessionKey — and then ran the whole
completion path against it: emitted "OpenCode exited with code 143", which the sidecar
commits to chat_session_events so a false failure became permanent history, then deleted
the replacement from `running`. That blinded the new Live panel, made the stop button a
no-op and orphaned a process nothing could reach.
Mark the handle before killing it, retire it silently, and identity-check the delete —
a superseded turn does not own that key any more.
Two leaks in the same family, found while fixing it. An early return would not have been
enough: both watchdogs call finish, so the armed 10-minute hardTimer would have fired an
error at whichever turn held the key by then. And handleLine had no `done` guard, so
stdout still draining from the killed process was emitted under the replacement key.
Reproduced before fixing. The lifecycle tests need no real opencode — RunnerConfig.bin
takes a shell script that sleeps. The control test pins that an ordinary non-zero exit
still reports an error, so the guard cannot overreach.

`ecosystem.light.config.cjs` did not mention officer-gitea, so `defineProfile` threw while the file was
being loaded and pm2 could start NOTHING from it — not the app, not the agent, not the terminal. The
profile has been dead on arrival since gitea was added to ecosystem.config.cjs and to the mac profile
but not to this one.
That is the drift check doing its job rather than a flaw in it: the alternative is a light install that
silently starts less than it claims. The cost is that adding a sidecar breaks every profile until each
one classifies it, which is the trade the file already documents.
Included rather than excluded, matching the mac profile's reasoning: this sidecar fronts a REMOTE Gitea
whose URL and token live in `service_connections`, so it installs nothing locally. That is the line
between it and the excluded sidecars, which supervise a local daemon or container.
Both light profiles now load and contain the same six processes.

Phase 1 accepted and phase 2 answered well. One real defect: the supersede path in
runOpenCodeTurn kills a stale turn without marking it, so the dead process late-fires
finish() against the turn that replaced it — committing a false "OpenCode exited" to
chat_session_events, deleting the live handle from `running`, killing the stop button
and orphaning the process.
Predates this pass; reported now because e8bd946 is what made the map load-bearing.

Investigation notes, written as they were gathered rather than after the fact. No code changes.
Covers how a sidecar comes into existence: PM2 peer, dials in to /api/sidecar/register, reports an
ephemeral port, officer proxies to it. Officer spawns nothing — the only startup problem left is
ordering, handled by waiting on a capability rather than failing the first request.
The finding worth having: `sidecar/claude/` is TWO processes, and they register as different sidecars.
`claude/index.ts` is officer-anthropic-proxy and registers capability `proxy`; `claude/user-instance.ts`
is officer-agent and registers capability `claude`. So `isConnected()` — defined as "a sidecar with
capability proxy exists" — means the Anthropic proxy is up, not the agent, which is not what the name
suggests. It has no callers today, so nothing is misreading it yet.
Marks what is unverified and what is still open rather than presenting the lot as settled: the
bind-read-release race in getFreePort, whether the `PORT ?? 5000` fallback is reachable, what a partial
boot looks like, and whether the sidecar-side boilerplate is worth factoring the way create-proxy.ts
factored officer's side.

Implementation report for whoever wrote opencode-parity.md and opencode-phase0-review.md: what landed,
the three places the specs were wrong and how the reproduce-first rule caught each, the three places I
deliberately did not follow them, and what is unverified.
Phase 2's blocking question is answered in full — the serve takes a per-request `?directory=`, so the
coupling is gone in both architectures. The migration is not started; that decision is framed in
opencode-serve-path.md and left open.
Flags `opencode:list` as the one new capability whose happy path is unproven, and B7 as newly more
masked: the B2 fix makes the client send `model` more reliably, which hides the spurious cut-off rather
than removing it.

The Live panel asked `claude:list` and nothing else, so a running OpenCode turn was invisible — the panel
claimed to show what the agent is doing and silently omitted half of it.
Adds `opencode:list` / `opencode:sessions` and merges both harnesses in `/chat/live`, asked in parallel,
each failing toward empty so one sidecar being down contributes nothing rather than breaking the panel.
The OpenCode row is deliberately thinner than the Claude one rather than faked into parity:
isGenerating always true — a subprocess exists only while it generates, so there is no "merely open"
pendingTasks always 0 — `opencode run` has no background-task concept; reporting a number would
suggest a capability that does not exist
title / cwd null — the session store is keyed on the `ses_…` id the runner reports, not on
our sessionKey, so an unreported turn shows unnamed rather than guessed
This is the incremental option from docs/opencode-serve-path.md — enumeration without moving turns onto
the serve, so it buys the Live panel with no warm sessions, no SSE loop and no lifetime questions.
NOT verified end to end: no OpenCode turn was running to enumerate, so the verb is wired and typechecked
but has never returned a non-empty list. See COMMS/BLOCKERS.md.

Path names: the serve's cwd is DATA_PATH/opencode_server, not opencode-sidecar. Two comments said
otherwise and would send the next reader to a directory that does not exist.
Version pin: the comment claimed "verified live against 1.17.9" as though that were a property of the
code. It is a property of whichever binary is installed, and this project already runs two — 1.17.9 here,
1.18.11 on the other machine. Says so now, and points at the test as the thing that actually enforces it.
Tests, the first on the OpenCode path. `runner.ts`'s NDJSON → ChatEvent mapping was described as pure and
untested; it was untested but not pure — it lived inside `handleLine` as a closure over `emit`, the
accumulated cost and a reported-session flag, so it could not be called without spawning a binary.
Extracted as `mapRunLine`, genuinely pure: line in, {sessionId, events, costDelta} out. The two concerns
that span lines stay with the caller, because they are not properties of a line — emitting the session id
exactly once, and accumulating cost across steps. Behaviour is unchanged.
11 tests over what the mapping forwards, what it drops and what it must not turn into NaN. The last one
matters: a missing `cost` on a step_finish would otherwise propagate NaN into the turn total.
Phase 1 is complete: dead code deleted (previous commit), comments corrected, tests added.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phase 1 item 7, done in the order the parity doc asks: read the dead design into a note, then delete it.
`docs/opencode-serve-path.md` records what `event-mapper.ts` and the SSE half of `client.ts` did, and
what a rebuild would want back from them — the delta model and tool-state transitions, which are exactly
parity Phase 3's token streaming rather than new work.
Deleted: `event-mapper.ts` entirely, and `subscribe`/the shared `GET /event` SSE loop, `createSession`,
`postMessage`, `abort` from the client, plus `isServerHealthy` from server-manager. All had no callers.
`client.ts` goes 200-odd lines to 99. What stays is the REST reads the chat list and transcript use:
listSessions, getSession, getMessages, deleteSession, renameSession.
While in there, Phase 2's blocking question turned out to be cheap to settle, so it is answered rather
than left open. The review asked whether the serve can take a per-request directory, since without one a
serve-based turn path would reintroduce the single-directory coupling that shelved this work:
POST /session?directory=/tmp/oc-phase2-probe -> directory: "/tmp/oc-phase2-probe" honoured
POST /session with directory in the BODY -> directory: "<serve cwd>" ignored
It is a query parameter on every /session* route. So the coupling is gone on both architectures and the
blocker is cleared. The note does NOT start the migration: which of the three options to take is a
product call, and it lays them out rather than presuming one.
The first probe put `directory` in the body and appeared to prove the opposite. Recorded in the note,
because it is the obvious way to test this and it gives a confident wrong answer.

The sidecar seeded an AGENTS.md into the serve's project root telling the agent to read its working
directory from the "Working directory for this session" line in its system prompt. The run path sends no
system prompt, so there was no such line and the instruction had been inert since turns moved off the
serve to `opencode run --dir`.
What it was standing in for, `--dir` does properly — tested rather than assumed
(docs/opencode-phase0-review.md): `--dir` anchors the agent's own file operations, not just the process
cwd, and the anchor survives a multi-step turn with a write in the middle. Nothing replaces it.
The generated file is removed from disk too, not only from the code that wrote it; leaving it would have
kept feeding standing instructions to every session while looking, in the source, as though it were gone.
Also corrects the claim that all OpenCode sessions live in one server's project. True when turns
inherited the serve's directory, false now: one serve lists 7 sessions across several directories, which
is why the cwd filter has to read `directory` rather than assume a single one.

Regression from the fold change. Scroll-up paging is driven by a scroll listener, and a scroll listener
only fires on a list that actually scrolls. That was always true and never mattered, because the turn you
were looking at rendered in full and was tall enough on its own.
Folding on reload broke it. A window of twenty messages can be one turn with eighteen tool calls, which
collapses to three short rows: no overflow, no scroll event, and paging never starts. The whole
transcript above becomes unreachable — which reads as lost history rather than as a fetch that never
fired.
So don't wait for a scroll that cannot happen: after each render, if there is more to load and the
content does not overflow its viewport, load the next page. Terminates because each pass either fills the
viewport or exhausts the transcript.
This also fixes a latent case that predates folding — any first window short enough to fit on screen
could never be paged past.

Reopened B4. Flipping `images: false` for OpenCode models made the metadata honest but changed nothing
on screen, because no code read the capability: the drop zone, the paste handler and the attach menu all
accepted images on every harness. The lie B4 described — drop a screenshot, watch it render in your own
bubble, have it discarded before the model sees it — was still there.
The flag is now load-bearing. Three entry points gated on `supportsImages`:
- the drop zone does not claim the drag at all (no highlight, no preventDefault), so the browser keeps
it rather than the composer swallowing a file it will drop on the floor
- an image paste falls through to the default
- the attach menu's Image entry is absent
`selectedModel || model` mirrors ModelSelector's `displayModel`, so the gate and the model name on screen
can never disagree. An unknown model allows images: a missing capability should not remove a working
control, and the flag is only false where we know it is false. Nothing to undo when images are plumbed
through OpenCodeRunParams later — the gate stops firing once the capability is true.
docs/opencode-phase0-review.md, item 1.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phase 0 accepted except B4, which is reopened: flipping images to false made the metadata honest but
nothing reads that capability, so the composer still accepts a drop and the image is still discarded
before the model sees it. The defect described a user-visible lie and the lie is unchanged. Gate the
composer on the flag, or plumb images through — the first is the Phase 0 one-liner.
The cwd question is answered empirically rather than argued. Against opencode 1.18.11: --dir anchors the
agent's file operations, not just the process cwd, and the anchor survives a four-step turn with a write
in the middle. So the single-server constraint that shelved this work is already gone — it went away when
turns moved off the serve to `opencode run --dir`.
Two consequences. Per-directory servers are unnecessary; don't build them. And the injected AGENTS.md
telling the agent its working directory is safe to delete — it points at a system prompt the run path
never sends, and --dir does the job it was standing in for.
Phase 2's fork also narrows: moving turns onto the serve would reintroduce the original coupling unless
the serve takes a per-request directory, so that is the question to answer, not why it was replaced.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three defects and one honest removal. Each was reproduced before being changed, as the doc asks.
B4 — images were offered and silently discarded. Every OpenCode model advertised `images: true`, the
composer gates on that flag, the bubble rendered the attachment, and `handleOpenCodeChat`'s message type
has no `images` field, so it never left officer. Flipped to false: 61 OpenCode models now decline, the
three Claude ones still accept. Plumbing them through OpenCodeRunParams stays Phase 4; advertising a
capability that does not exist is the part worth fixing today.
B5 — every OpenCode turn overwrote the previous turn's subscription handle without detaching it, so the
old session-scoped listener stayed attached and delivery doubled, tripled, and so on for any termination
that is not result/error/stopped. Deliberately NOT the Claude guard: Claude keeps one persistent session
and skips re-subscribing, while OpenCode spawns a fresh `opencode run` per turn, so a new subscription
each time is correct — detaching the old one is what was missing.
B6 — the sessionKey → `ses_…` map had no writer of deletions, so it grew for the process lifetime and a
reused key resumed a stale OpenCode session. Cleared in `deleteSession` only, never in `releaseSession`:
releasing means "let go, leave it running", and a returning browser must find the same `ses_…` again.
Phase 0 item 1 — the thinking toggle is removed rather than fixed. `thinking` is accepted on the wire
and forwarded by neither channel, so the control changed its own label and nothing else. Out of scope
for both harnesses by decision. The inert plumbing beneath it is left for a follow-up that touches the
socket contract; the props stay accepted-and-unread so no call site had to change.
Phase 0 is complete: B1, B2, B3 landed earlier; B4, B5, B6 and the selector here.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
22bcd7d fixed both, and found the fix this document suggested was written against a field that does not
exist: opencode 1.17.9 returns `directory` at the top level, not `location.directory`, and sends no
`metadata` at all. The type declared two fields the server never returns, which is the single cause of
both defects.
Worth recording rather than quietly editing, because it generalises: the surveys behind this document
read types and call sites, not a running server, so every field name in it is a hypothesis. The
'check the installed version first' warning was the load-bearing part of the handover, not boilerplate.

Resuming an OpenCode conversation dispatched it to the Claude CLI: a `ses_…` id handed to
`claude --resume`. Wrong harness, not degraded output.
The whole six-hop chain, confirmed rather than inferred, because the endpoints alone do not show which
hop drops the value:
/chat/:id fetches detail and sets `selected.model` = `opencode/big-pickle` ← the value exists
ChatDetailPanel renders <NewChat …> without a `model` prop ← dropped here
NewChat reads `initialModel={locationState?.model}` ← unrelated source
nothing in the tree ever writes `location.state.model` ← so always undefined
useChat therefore holds no model and the socket sends none
websocket.ts falls back to the user default, `isClaudeModel` is true
So the model was resolved correctly at the top and read from somewhere else at the bottom. `selected`
has carried `model` all along.
`locationState.model` stays as a fallback rather than being deleted: it is declared on
ChatLocationState and costs nothing to keep for a caller that navigates with one deliberately.
docs/opencode-parity.md B2, which flagged this as the one to verify hop by hop. Its account is accurate;
the added detail is that the value is produced and then dropped, not never produced.

Two defects, one cause: the session type declared two fields opencode 1.17.9 does not return.
`GET /session` returns `directory` at the top level. There is no `location` object and no `metadata`.
Re-verified by reading the live server rather than the type.
So `metadata.officer.cwd` was compared against `undefined` for every session and the list filter matched
nothing — and since `cwdOf` substitutes a default when no `?cwd=` is given, the `!cwd` escape never fired
either. There was no configuration in which an OpenCode session appeared in /chat. Confirmed against the
running server: 7 sessions present, 0 returned, and the `OpenCode` badge in SessionList was unreachable
code. Now 1 of 7 is listed under the default chat dir, the other 6 correctly filtered to their own
directories.
And `location?.directory ?? ''` was likewise always '', so resuming a session reported no cwd and
relocated the conversation to the default chat dir — which matters because OpenCode rebuilds its
working-directory system prompt every turn. Detail now reads the session's own record via a new
`getSession`, alongside the transcript.
`officerMeta` and the `metadata` tag are gone rather than fixed: the only writer of that tag
(`client.createSession`) has no callers, because the sidecar creates sessions with `opencode run --dir`.
Tagging would have been a second source of truth for something `directory` already answers.
docs/opencode-parity.md B1 and B3. Its suggested fix — derive from `location.directory` — was written
against a field that does not exist; the doc asked for the version to be checked first, and this is why.

`label ?? override ?? route` made a typed tab name permanent. That is right for navigation — you named
the window to find it again — and wrong the moment you rename the conversation itself: the tab kept the
old name, and kept it across reloads, because the stale one is in sessionStorage. The rename looked like
it had failed.
Both are deliberate acts, so the newer wins. The hard part is telling a rename from ordinary navigation:
from the outside, "same conversation, new title" and "different conversation, different title" are the
same event — a changed override. Clearing the tab name on any change would have wiped it every time you
clicked a chat.
So the override now carries the id of the thing it names. Same id with a new title is a rename and drops
the tab name; a new id is navigation and leaves it alone.
The alternative was to have the panel clear the label directly, which needs a QueryClient dragged across
the workspace boundary the bridge exists to avoid — the shell owns the tab name, so the shell decides
when to drop it.

Phases 0 and 1 only, phase 2 is a decision, and open /chat first to confirm B1 before trusting the rest.
All of it was already in the document, near the end, which is not where someone handed a file starts
reading.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phases 0 and 1 are implementable as written; phase 2 is a decision and should not be handed over as
work. More importantly: reproduce each defect before fixing it. The B-list came from read-only surveys
and only the event-path claim was re-verified at source — one of those surveys reasoned from a dead file
for part of its report, so a confident inventory here is not the same as a checked one.
B1 is the cheap provenance test: open /chat and look. Either no OpenCode session is listed, which
confirms the survey was reading the current tree, or one is, and the whole list needs re-checking.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three read-only surveys — the Claude sidecar as the reference, the OpenCode sidecar as it stands, and
every officer/frontend branch on harness. No code changed.
The headline is not a missing feature. OpenCode sessions never appear in the chat list at all: the list
filters on `metadata.officer.cwd`, and the only writer of that tag has zero callers, because sessions are
created by `opencode run --dir` rather than the API that would tag them. Resuming one is worse — the
model is dropped between the resolver and the chat hook, so a `ses_…` id reaches `claude --resume`. That
is wrong-harness dispatch, not degradation. Eight such defects are catalogued before any parity work.
Everything else hangs off one decision: OpenCode turns are a one-shot subprocess with `stdin: 'ignore'`,
while Claude turns live inside a persistent streaming session. Token streaming, mid-turn injection,
background tasks, live-session enumeration and reattach-by-id are all downstream of that, and the serve
that could support them is already running and used only for CRUD. The doc refuses to plan past that
fork until someone establishes why the serve-based turn path was replaced.
Four buckets rather than one list: broken now, Claude-has-it, neither-has-it, and what OpenCode has that
Claude does not — the last because it is what disappears in a project framed as catching up.
Thinking is out of scope for both harnesses by decision, and the selector is hidden rather than
implemented: it renders today and does nothing on either path.

An upload over a few MB came back as a 400 with an empty body, no message anywhere, and nothing logged
by Immich, the sidecar or officer. It was a race, not a size limit. Immich judges an asset from its
first few KB and rejects immediately, then closes; both our hops were still writing the body; Node
treats the leftover bytes as a protocol violation and replaces the application's answer with a bodyless
`400 Bad Request` + `Connection: close`. The real message never reached the wire.
Measured before the change: streamed lost the message 1/4 at 8 MB and 4/4 at 32 MB — probability rising
with size, which is why small photos usually worked and a phone's video never did.
Both hops needed it. Fixing only the sidecar took 32 MB from 4/4 failing to 2/4, because the platform
proxy was losing it one hop up.
Bounded at 512 MB, above which the body streams exactly as before. That ceiling is not a refusal and is
deliberately not a 413: a file Immich ACCEPTS is read to the end and never races, so a 4 GB video is
unaffected. All that is given up above the cap is the error message on a file that was going to be
rejected anyway. A first attempt refused over-cap uploads outright and would have broken the working
4 GB case to improve diagnosis of the doomed one.
`bufferRequestBody` is opt-in and off by default: the vault and wallet proxies must keep streaming so a
passphrase or macaroon never lands in the platform's heap.
Also adds the proxy error logging that made this findable at all — status and two byte counts from
headers, never the bodies. `responseBytes: "unknown"` is what exposed the stripped response.
Verified live at 32/256 MB (buffered) and 640 MB (streamed, passes through).

Sending a message used to collapse the turn above it, live, while you were still reading it. Watching
your own conversation fold up under you as you typed the next message is worse than the scrolling it
saved.
Folding now keys off `historicalCount` — how many messages at the front of the list came from the server
rather than from this sitting. Nothing collapses while you are watching, however many turns you send;
reload, and all of it has become history and folds at once, which is where the grouping actually earns
its place.
A count rather than a set of ids because everything historical is contiguous and at the front: the
preload seeds it, paging older messages prepends to it, live turns append past it, and a resume replaces
the list with a transcript that is history in its entirety.
Two consequences worth stating rather than discovering.
The last turn is no longer exempt. It used to be excluded from folding for being the live one by
definition; now it is an ordinary turn, so a reloaded conversation folds its final turn too — except
while it is still generating, since hiding work as it arrives is the exact thing being undone.
And folding is no longer a pure derivation over the message list, so a reload does NOT render identically
to a live session. That property was deliberate and is deliberately given up; it is the feature. The
state it costs is one number in useChat, never on the wire and never on disk.

The agent's input is a streaming iterable, and a message pushed onto it mid-turn is picked up at the
next step boundary — the running turn reads it and carries on with the added context. Verified rather
than assumed: a probe pushed a sentinel four seconds into a turn busy with `sleep` calls, and that
turn's own final answer quoted the late instruction and obeyed it. One turn, one result, nothing
interrupted.
So the design this was heading for — stop the turn, then re-send the message wrapped in "please
continue, but…" — is not needed. Nothing is abandoned mid-flight, no tool call dies half-applied, and
the agent is never told to stop something it was part-way through.
Enter on an empty composer delivers the queue now instead of waiting for the turn to end. That keystroke
was free: handleSend has always returned immediately on empty input. The queue still fills and still
shows as it did, so the default behaviour is unchanged — this is the impatient path, not a replacement.
Officer needed nothing: handleChat already pushes onto the live session rather than opening a new one
whenever `_claudeKill` is set, which is exactly the injection. The only thing in the way was the
client's own refusal to send while generating.
The affordance is stated above the queue because the keystroke is otherwise undiscoverable — Enter on an
empty box has never done anything, so nobody would try it.

The file-browser API does not filter them — readdir returns everything — so browsing for a working
directory opened onto .cache, .local, .npm and thirty more before anything worth picking.
Hidden by default, one toggle in the footer to reveal, and shown dimmed when revealed so they read as a
different class of thing. The count sits on the toggle and the empty state names it too: a folder
holding only dot-directories used to say 'No subfolders here', which is a lie with no way to notice it.

Every live row read 'Starting…' and linked nowhere, because the title lookup searched for a transcript
named after the session KEY. It isn't. The key is officer's handle for a conversation; the transcript is
named after Claude's own session id, and the mapping between them exists only inside the agent
(setClaudeSession/getClaudeSession). I assumed the two were the same and never checked — confirmed wrong
by looking for the ids from the officer log under ~/.claude/projects and finding nothing.
claude:list now reports claudeSessionId beside the key, the route resolves titles by that, and rows link
to it. Null means the first turn has not reported one yet, which is a genuinely unwritten conversation
and stays unlinked.
Needs the agent sidecar restarted to take effect — the new field comes from there.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The titles were looked up client-side against the sessions query already in cache, which only covers the
group being browsed — so anything running in another directory rendered as a truncated uuid, which is
most of them.
Resolved server-side now. The agent reports keys and nothing else, so liveSessionTitle finds the
transcript by scanning the project slugs, takes the cwd off its own first entry, and hands that to
claudeSessionContext — the same path the list uses, so the two agree on naming, /clear chains merged
included, rather than offering a second opinion.
A null title means no transcript has been written yet. That row says 'Starting…' and is deliberately not
a link: pointing at a session you cannot open yet is worse than plainly not being a link.

The previous commit added it to defaultLayout, which anyone who has ever opened /chat never sees:
useDashboardState seeds its default only when the key is ABSENT, so a stored layout keeps the shape it
had when it was first written. appTypes/normalizeLayout does not cover this — it repairs which app a
panel runs, never the tree — so the change was visible only on a fresh account. It was shipped with a
note to reset the layout by hand, which is not a fix.
The screen now replaces a layout with no chat-live panel. Replacing outright is safe here specifically
because the screen is locked: the structure is dictated by code, and the only user contribution is
column sizes. Terminates because the replacement contains the panel it tests for.

The /chat sidebar is now a vertical split: live sessions on top, the transcript list below. They look
similar and answer completely different questions — the list reads conversations from disk, thousands of
them, while this reads the agent's in-memory map over `claude:list`. Only the second can tell you a
conversation is still working while nothing is on screen, which is exactly the state that has been
invisible: after a `pm2 restart officer`, or from a browser that has never seen the session, officer has
no record of a live turn and only the agent can say.
`pendingTasks` is surfaced per row because it is the load-bearing number. It is what keeps a session
alive with nothing on screen, and what makes restarting the agent sidecar unsafe at that moment.
Polled at 10s rather than pushed: liveness changes without officer being told — a turn ends, a
background task reports — so there is no single event to subscribe to. The request is one map read.
Titles come from the sessions query already in cache, so they cost nothing, but that query only covers
the group being browsed and a live session can be in any of them. Unmatched rows show a short key rather
than inventing a name, and an unsaved chat renders unlinked rather than pointing at a transcript that
does not exist yet.

resolveOwner already retried forever — but only when the query SUCCEEDED and returned nothing, which is
a fresh install waiting on bootstrap. A query that THREW escaped the function, rejected the top-level
await and exited the process, into exactly the PM2 restart loop its own comment says it exists to avoid.
So any Postgres restart (57P03 'the database system is starting up') or moment of unavailability killed
every live agent session on the machine and spun the sidecar until the database answered.
That is what took a session down on 2026-08-10, and why this process showed 468 restarts against 0 for
every peer that starts without needing the database.
The loop now catches as well as checks. Still retries forever, matching the case beside it: a database
coming back is a matter of time, and an agent that gave up would need a human to notice.

IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS dropped to 30s, a background ticker started, the tab closed. Officer logged the release
thirty seconds later and the job ticked straight through it — the exact point where deleteSession used
to call _claudeKill. Constant reverted.
Also worth writing down: restarting officer does not test this. The process dies outright and
releaseSession never runs, so that only exercises adoptOrphanedSession, which already worked.

Officer's session records are in memory and die with `pm2 restart officer`, while the agent is a PM2
peer and keeps generating. `adoptOrphanedSession` rebuilds a binding — but only when a browser
reconnects to a session *by id*, which you can only do if you already knew the id. So a session that
survived a restart was invisible, and nothing could answer "what is running right now".
`claude:list` returns each live session with `isGenerating` and `pendingTasks` — the same two fields the
agent's own `armIdle` consults before collecting a session, so a caller can tell "busy" from "merely
open" the way it does. Surfaced as `GET /chat/live`, which sits beside `/chat/sessions`: those are
transcripts on disk, these are the ones with a process behind them.
`getActiveSessionKeys` is replaced rather than joined. It returned bare keys, could not distinguish a
session mid-turn from one merely open, and had never been called by anything.
`listLiveClaudeSessions` fails toward EMPTY, where `isClaudeGenerating` beside it fails toward alive.
The asymmetry is deliberate: not knowing there means leaving a spinner up, and not knowing here would
mean inventing sessions.

Officer's hour-long idle timer was doing two unrelated jobs: collecting its own in-memory binding, which
is its business, and terminating the agent, which is the sidecar's. It could not do the first without
the second, because `unsub` was a closure reachable only through `kill`.
So a browser that went away killed a live agent an hour later — including one the sidecar had
deliberately protected. The sidecar already refuses to collect a session that is mid-turn or holding
background tasks: `task:started` disarms its idle GC, and `armIdle` re-checks and re-arms rather than
firing once. Officer had no view of any of that. A laptop running out of battery overnight took a
`run_in_background` job with it for no reason.
`detach` now sits beside `kill` on both streaming handles, and `_sidecarUnsub` — declared and called for
a long time, never once assigned — is populated at all three sites. `releaseSession` unsubscribes and
forgets the record without killing; the idle timer points at it. `deleteSession` is unchanged, so an
explicit disconnect still ends the session.
The third assignment site was not in the plan: `adoptOrphanedSession` sets `_claudeKill` but nothing
else, so an adopted session that later idled out would have dropped its record while the listener stayed
subscribed — a leak of one per adopt-then-leave.
No double subscription: releasing unsubscribes first, so a returning browser either adopts with a fresh
listener or starts a first turn with none behind it.
Step 1 of docs/chat-session-lifetime.md. Step 2 (a list verb, so running sessions can be found after a
restart) is still open.

Investigation only, no code. The sidecar already protects sessions with background work in flight
(pendingTasks disarms its idle GC); officer's hour-long timer knows nothing about that and kills them
anyway, and does not survive its own restart. Plan is to have officer release its binding instead of
killing, and to add a list verb so running sessions can be found after a restart.

The whole composer bar is the target, not just the textarea — a screenshot dragged out of the macOS
corner thumbnail is a small thing to aim with, and the bar is the biggest thing near where the cursor
already is. Paste already worked; this is the same attach path.
Three details, each of which breaks the drop silently if missed. `preventDefault` on dragover, or the
browser refuses the drop, never fires onDrop, and navigates to the file instead — taking whatever was
typed with it. A depth counter rather than a boolean, because dragenter/dragleave fire for every child
crossed and the highlight strobes as you move over the textarea. And only claiming drags that carry
files, so dragging selected text across the composer neither lights it up nor swallows the drop.
Non-image files in the same drag are ignored quietly: refusing the PDF among them with a toast would be
noise when the three screenshots you meant went in fine.

Queued prompts are almost always one thought arriving in pieces — a correction, then the thing you
forgot. Answering them one turn at a time made the agent reply to the first without knowing the second
existed, then re-answer once it did. Joined with a blank line between, in the order written, which is
how they read anyway.
The tray is unchanged: they stay separate rows, each removable right up until they go. What merges is
the delivery, not the queue.
Only a lone prompt can still be a slash command. Joined to anything else it is text that happens to
start with a slash, and running it as a command would silently drop everything queued behind it. The
drain now takes the whole queue at once, so it loops twice at most — again only if the batch was a
handled command and something arrived while it ran.

Send no longer refuses mid-turn. The prompt goes into a queue, and each turn's completion delivers the
next — one per turn, which is the whole drain loop. A slash command the client handles itself never
starts a turn, so delivery reports whether it did and the drain keeps going rather than waiting for a
completion that will not come.
Attachments are captured when the prompt is composed, not when it is delivered, so a queued message
keeps the files it was written with instead of picking up whatever is in the tray when its turn arrives.
The composer empties on queue as it does on send — a box that stayed full would read as "it didn't
take", and you would send it twice.
The send button turns amber with a different icon to say the press will not go anywhere yet, and sits
BESIDE stop rather than replacing it: typing a follow-up should not cost you the ability to interrupt.
A tray above the composer lists what is waiting, each item removable — without it a queued prompt is
invisible until its turn, which looks exactly like having lost it.
Stop clears the queue. Ending a turn is precisely the signal the drain waits for, so leaving it alone
fired the next prompt the instant you pressed the button meant to halt things. Nothing is lost: a queued
prompt was recorded in the prompt history when it was written, so Up brings it back.

Shell-style. Up walks back, Down walks forward, and past the newest is the draft you were composing when
you left — stashed on the way in, because losing what you had typed to the key pressed to get back to it
would be the worst version of this.
Up only takes the key from the FIRST line and Down from the last. In a multi-line draft there is a line
to move to, and swallowing the arrow would strand the caret; on the edge there is nowhere to go, which is
exactly when history is what was meant. An empty list, or already at the oldest, leaves the key alone too.
Per tab and shared by every chat in it, in sessionStorage. The prompt most worth reaching for is often
one sent somewhere else — re-asking in a fresh chat, or in the other panel — and scoping it per session
would empty the history exactly when a new chat makes it most useful. Slash commands count; they are
prompts you sent.
The tests caught a real one: `record` wrote state while `step` read a ref that only refreshed on the next
render, so sending and immediately pressing Up walked the list as it was one prompt ago. The ref is
written first now.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
It was built on a belief carried over from Claude Code's terminal: that interrupting means the agent
never read the prompt, so handing it back lets you say it differently. That is not what happens here —
the prompt is delivered and read before escape can land, the transcript keeps it, and the agent answers
it on the next turn. So the composer refilled with something already sent, and sending it again sent it
twice.
Escape means "stop, I'll say it differently" or just "stop". Neither wants the old text back. Focus
still returns to the composer, which serves both.

Two faults, and the visible symptom of both was the same: type a new title, press enter, watch it snap
back unchanged.
The rename 404'd. `useClaudeSessions()` was called with no cwd, so the PATCH went without `?cwd=` and
the server searched the default group — `findTranscript(email, cwd, id)` scopes by directory, so every
conversation living in a project was unfindable. Only chats in the default group could ever have been
renamed. The pane now passes the session's own cwd, as the list already did.
And the title it displayed could not have changed even on success. It came from `selected.title`, which
rides the `chat:selected-session` channel — published once when a row is clicked and never updated —
so the invalidation refreshed the row underneath while the header kept the old name. The title is now
resolved once in `ChatDetailPanel` from the sessions query and passed down, so the pane, the page title
and the row are one source. Renaming from the list's pencil retitles an open pane too, which it never
did before.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two things, one title.
The pane's header is now editable and calls the same `renameSession` the list's pencil does, so both
surfaces write the transcript's `summary` line and the invalidation that follows refreshes the row. The
id comes from the URL rather than `resumeSessionId`: they agree for an ordinary conversation and not for
a merged `/clear` chain, where the resume target is the tail while the list and the server address the
chain by its head — renaming the tail would have written a title nothing displays. `/chat/new` has no
transcript yet, so there the title is read-only.
And on `/chat/<id>` the conversation names the page, sitting between a typed tab name and the route
default: `label ?? override ?? titleForPath()`. Naming a window is deliberate and must still win. Not
gated on full screen, though that is where it earns its keep — the nav header is hidden there, so the
browser tab strip is the only thing telling two side-by-side windows apart. Tiled, the same value fills
the header's centre.
The edit interaction is now one `EditableTitle` shared with the nav header instead of a second copy of
it. `allowEmpty` is what keeps the header's "clear it to hand the tab back to the route name" working;
everywhere else empty means keep, since the rename endpoint 400s on it. `SessionList`'s row rename is
deliberately NOT folded in — it opens from a pencil and confirms with a check, so it is a different
interaction wearing the same styling.

Maximize could only ever stop below the nav header — the content region is an `absolute z-2` stacking
context and the header a `fixed z-10` sibling, so that was the deepest a panel could get on its own.
Full screen reaches the rest by asking the shell to stand its header down, which leaves the shallow
version as a state nobody picks on purpose.
So it goes, and the two lights with it. `MaximizeMode` and the `{ id, mode }` session value collapse
back to a bare `fullscreenPanelId` — renamed because "maximized" would now be a lie about what it does
— under a new `FULLSCREEN_PANEL:` key, so a tab open across this reads nothing rather than an object
where a string belongs. `MaximizeButton` is gone; locked screens keep only the fullscreen toggle, which
writes no layout and so was always the one control the lock could permit.
Red stays. The amber used to REPLACE it while maximized so the way out could never be a way to delete;
with amber gone that guard would have cost the close button entirely, and red is already absent exactly
where it should be — locked screens render no traffic lights at all.

Maximize had one depth: fill the content region, leave the nav header visible. That was never a choice
about how much room to take — the region is an `absolute z-2` stacking context and the header is a
`fixed z-10` sibling, so no z-index a panel gives itself can paint over the nav. `top-[56px]` was the
workaround.
So full screen is cooperative rather than a bigger overlay. The panel asks, and the shell hides its own
header for it; `inset-0` is then genuinely the window. Still the same element and the same class swap —
no portal, no remount, so scroll position and playback survive the step between depths the way they
already survived maximize.
The mode rides beside the maximized panel id in sessionStorage as one value, so the two cannot drift;
a tab open across this change reads the old bare string, gets undefined for `.id`, and lands on
"nothing is maximized".
The toggle is offered from every state, so taking the window is one click from a tiled panel, and it
steps back to a maximized panel rather than all the way out. The amber light is present at both depths
and always goes all the way out, so neither is a trap.

The client half exists in monorepo-mobile as of f29774a, with OffChat as the
proof of concept, so this document is no longer purely forward-looking. Adds a
section covering what shipped, the two places the advice here was wrong about
the client — one key per app is not possible on mobile (shared-session puts one
credential in front of all nineteen apps), and signout was never the problem,
distress signout was — and two decisions worth a second opinion: clearing the
credential on 401 only, and leaving the traded-in JWT to expire rather than
blacklisting it, because that handler clears vault tokens keyed on the user.
Platform chat ran at 200K while the same `claude` in a terminal got Opus 5's
full 1M. Nothing to do with the model, the account or compaction tuning — the
CLI gates 1M on `provider === 'firstParty' && Fp()`, and `Fp()` is satisfied
only when ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL is unset or its host is api.anthropic.com. We
point it at 127.0.0.1:5051 so the agent's traffic goes through the OAuth
proxy, which fails that host check and silently drops the window to 200K.
_CLAUDE_CODE_ASSUME_FIRST_PARTY_BASE_URL is the CLI's own escape hatch for a
first-party passthrough, and the assertion holds: the proxy forwards verbatim
to api.anthropic.com and already preserves anthropic-beta.
Read from the CLI binary (2.1.223), not inferred: claude-opus-5 carries
context:{window:1e6, native_1m:true}, so the model half of the gate always
passed. Only the hostname was wrong.

both forwarders buffered the whole request body into an ArrayBuffer before
re-sending it to Immich. with maxRequestBodySize at 4GB that put a phone's
video upload in the sidecar's heap for a hop that never reads the bytes.
callUpstream now sets duplex: 'half' so a stream is a legal body, matching
what createSidecarProxy already does on the platform side. the four JSON
callers are unaffected.
the platform proxy forwards no content-length, so the body already reached
us chunked; this extends that one hop to Immich. verified against the live
instance (3.1.0): bulk-upload-check round-trips a streamed body and returns
the right verdict.

Locked assets are gated on elevation, and elevation lives on a session — an API key
has no `auth.session`, so no key permission or allow-list entry can reach them. The
gate sits inside the generic owner-access check, so a locked asset's thumbnail and
original are covered too, not just its listings.
So `/_locked` mints a session at unlock, holds it in memory for the elevation window,
and closes it on lock, on idle, or when the active immich account changes. Nothing new
is written to photos_config: the pin and the password are never at rest, and a full
compromise of officer's database still does not open the folder. The cost is that
unlocking asks for the immich password as well as the pin.
`auth/*` stays refused wholesale in routes.ts. The four auth routes this needs are
reached through named endpoints that each do one thing, and the elevated forward
carries three resources rather than the main allow-list.
Not yet exercised at runtime — the sidecar has not run this code.

docs/mobile-api-keys.md — what the server accepts, what changes in
monorepo-mobile, and the 401-vs-403 distinction, which is the one that
bites: clearing a good key on a 403 turns a member's missing capability
into a logout loop they cannot escape.

there were four doors, not two. the ws upgrade in server.tsx and the
vault notifications socket each verified the jwt themselves, so a key
that worked against /api would have 401'd on cliamp — signed in and can
play audio would have been two different questions for the music app.
both now call resolveAuthToken. verified: owner key upgrades cliamp
(101), bogus key 401, member key 403 on terminal exactly as their jwt
is.
reset-password and verify-token deliberately keep verify() — they read
a purpose-scoped reset token and a key must not be spendable as one.
