SettingsSection now carries titleKey/descriptionKey instead of title/description, and
the sidebar and content pane resolve them. The section arrays are module-level consts
holding JSX content, so they cannot call a hook — the data holds keys and the renderers
translate. Sidebar search matches the RESOLVED words, so it works in the language on
screen.
Capital K in titleKey is load-bearing: docs-check-settings.ts greps key:\s*'…' for
route segments, and a lowercase title_key would have fed it twenty bogus paths.
Verified 0 bogus, 26 declared, 20 offered, 0 missing.
Section titles now share one key with the Spotlight rows that name the same section,
per 'one key per meaning'. Two casings had to converge, so Settings shows Spotlight's:
'Change Password' now reads 'Change password'.
Settings sidebar search placeholder was 'Search...'; it is now 'Search settings…',
which is what the skeleton catalog already said and what distinguishes it from the
global Spotlight.
Layout reaches zero. The dock, header, user menu, theme switcher, spotlight,
shortcuts modal, screen-error fallback, rescan and bug report.
Three things worth knowing:
CORE_DOCK_ITEMS now carries labelKey instead of label, and one useDockItems() hook
resolves the composed list. DashboardLayout, Spotlight and DockSettings each spread
the same two sources before, so each would have had to resolve labels itself.
Plugin tiles keep the name from their own manifest — a plugin's strings are not ours.
Spotlight resolves labels INSIDE the hook, so rank() still matches what the reader
can see rather than a dot-path. Its to: '/settings/...' literals are untouched, which
is what docs:check parses — verified still 20 offered, 0 missing.
The rescan toast said 'N skill(s)'. That is English giving up on a plural, so it is
now a real plural entry per noun and reads correctly at 0, 1 and 2 in both locales.
ThemeSwitcher used t as its theme loop variable; renamed to entry.
/sendoff — pick files, pick one of your own machines or a person who has allowed
you, send. The consent list sits on the same screen rather than in settings,
because the two questions arrive together: the first time somebody opens this and
finds nobody to send to, the reason is that consent runs the other way, and the
answer has to be visible where the question was asked.
There is deliberately no received view. Files land in Documents/SendOff/ inside
the recipient's own tree, so the file browser already IS the inbox — a second view
of the same directory would be a worse copy of one that works, kept in sync by
hand.
Two details worth keeping. The file input resets its value after every pick, or
choosing the same file twice in a row does nothing, because `change` does not fire
on an unchanged value. And a send clears the files but keeps the target, since
several batches to the same place is the common second action and re-picking it
each time is the sort of small tax that stops somebody using a thing.
The multipart goes through `client.post`, which already recognises a FormData and
drops the JSON content-type so the browser picks the boundary. That was the only
thing making this look like it needed a raw fetch, and a raw fetch would have
carried its own copy of the token resolution — which is a chain of seven sources.

a websocket byte relay onto x11vnc's tcp socket, the same shape as the
terminal's relay onto the pty sidecar. this is the piece plugins/desktop
could not have: a plugin cannot claim a websocket provider.
the rfb client is ours rather than vendored novnc — raw and copyrect,
one pixel format we dictate so a rectangle memcpys into ImageData. we
control the server, so the other eight encodings are surface we would
carry and never run.
execution, so owner-only: wine runs as the owner, which makes the game's
menus file dialogs over the owner's home.
two bugs worth keeping. the token key is BEARER_TOKEN, not token, so the
upgrade 401'd before any rfb byte moved. and the /status health check
opened a tcp connection to prove liveness — libvncserver blocks its
accept loop peeking for a websocket handshake, so a polled health check
filled the backlog and locked out the real viewer. a liveness check must
not be indistinguishable from a client; it reads /proc/net/tcp now.

Fifth setting in three days: ctrl-space → shift-space → alt-space → ctrl-space → shift-space. Ctrl-space was
tried twice on the theory that preventDefault would beat Brave's address bar. It does not — that binding is
at the browser level and the key never reaches the handler. Recorded in the file so it is not tried a third
time.
Shift-space overrides two stock behaviours deliberately, and the owner's reasoning is the right one: it types
a space in a text field, and it scrolls a page UP when nothing has focus. Neither is worth a launcher.
Page-up-by-shift-space is a fossil, and typing a space is what the unmodified spacebar is for.
The cost is stated once in the file rather than argued again: typing in CAPS by holding shift instead of
using caps lock puts a shift-space between every word, which opens the launcher mid-sentence. If that turns
out to bite, the fix is a text-field guard — which this had for one day, and which is exactly what made the
launcher unopenable from the composer, where it is most wanted. Trading that back would be trading down.
Every other modifier must be absent: ctrl+shift+space is the theme browser, and one chord opening both is
the bug that needed a capture-phase listener to fix. Verified disjoint in the built bundle, both conditions
quoted from it rather than from the source.
Five moves in three days is the argument for making chords configurable rather than for choosing better ones,
which is why the ctrl+? registry names the implementing file for each.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fourth chord for the launcher, and the last move is a return: ctrl-space → shift-space → alt-space →
ctrl-space. Every one was the owner naming a real collision, and this one is the interesting direction —
alt-space is the GNOME window menu, he rebound the desktop to keep it, disliked what he rebound it to, and
would rather move the app than the window manager.
ctrl-space was ruled out on 2026-08-20 as "focuses the address bar in Brave". That observation was made
before anything preventDefault'ed it, and the trade has changed: rebinding a browser is cheaper than
rebinding a desktop. Written down in the file, because if the address bar still wins the key never reaches
the handler and nothing in this repository can help — the fix would be in Brave.
`!ev.shiftKey && !ev.altKey` matters: ctrl+SHIFT+space is the theme browser, and one chord opening both is
the bug that needed a capture-phase listener to fix on the theme side. Verified in the built bundle that the
two conditions are disjoint.
CTRL+? renders every shortcut from a registry, ported in shape from vimazing's gameInfo.ts — controls
declared as data, help screen renders them. Its renderer was a recursive `any` walk, right for a game whose
help also carries rules and scoring; here the content is one shape, so the renderer is typed and boring and
the value is in state/shortcuts.ts.
The registry is deliberately NOT authoritative yet, and says so: the handlers still hold their own
conditions, so changing a chord here does not move it. Each entry names the file that implements it, so the
pair is one search apart. Making it the source of truth is the configurable-shortcuts work, and doing it now
would rewrite three handlers for nothing visible.
Also removed a line I put in the theme dropdown yesterday promising "alt+space to search every theme by
name". Themes are not Spotlight items — that was an instruction for a feature nobody built, sitting in the
UI as though it worked. It now points at ctrl+?, which exists. Two comments naming ctrl+alt+space for the
theme browser were corrected to ctrl+shift+space with the older chord noted as still accepted.

It was 16 / 34 / 50 — a category column, a commander column, and the transcript. So half the screen was
navigation for a list holding a handful of commanders (one, on this machine) while the only thing anybody
reads got the other half.
Now the two navigation panels are stacked into one 24% column — commanders on top, categories beneath — and
the transcript takes 76%.
Categories BELOW the commanders, not above: the commanders are what you came for and the categories are how
you narrow them. Above, the filter would push the list down the screen and be read first; below, the list is
at the top where a list belongs, and the categories can grow their own scrollbar without taking room from it.
The categories panel lost seventy pixels of branding — a Radar tile, "Command HQ", "Watchers &
long-running jobs" — which made sense when it owned a column and does not now that it sits at the foot of
one. The screen's own header says Command HQ two inches above it.
`All commanders` and `Uncategorised` moved INTO the scroll box with the categories. They are the same kind of
thing, a filter over the list, and splitting them into a separate nav block above made the second look like a
different mechanism. The heading and the + button stay pinned; only the list scrolls — the same rule as the
theme dropdown.
MIGRATION, and it is the part that could have gone wrong. This key is persisted per account, so the default
alone moves nobody who has opened the screen. No appType was retired either, so `hasAppType` cannot see it
the way the /chat migration could — the test is structural instead: a horizontal root with three children is
the old shape. It terminates because the replacement has two, and replacing outright is safe on a `locked`
screen where the only user contribution is column sizes. Same reasoning, and same trap, as
ChatHistory/index.tsx.
Two of my edits silently did nothing first, because I searched for `officerdb` where the module is
`officerdev` and used replace without an assertion. Both are asserted now.

Three reported faults and two additions, all from one keystroke's worth of use.
THE MENU OPENED BEHIND THE OVERLAY. The theme pill is a Radix DropdownMenuTrigger, and a focused trigger
opens on Space — so ctrl+shift+space opened the browser AND the dropdown behind it. preventDefault could
never have fixed it: React attaches its handlers at the root, which bubbles before window, so the trigger
saw the key first whatever this listener did with it. The listener now runs in the CAPTURE phase and stops
the event dead.
THE VIM KEYS DIED WHEN OPENED FROM AN INPUT. Same shape as the Spotlight bug earlier tonight: the guard
that refuses to steal keys from a text field was still true after the overlay opened, because focus had
never left the field. Opening now blurs, and the guard no longer applies once the list is open — there is no
input in it, so there is nothing left for it to protect. Only the GLOBAL bindings defer to a text field now,
which is the case it was written for.
f STARS WHAT IS FOCUSED, inside the list, so a browse and a shortlist are one pass rather than two.
ctrl+shift+f STARS THE CURRENT THEME FROM ANYWHERE, and deliberately without the typing guard the arrows
beside it need: word selection is what ctrl+shift+←/→ collides with in a text field, and ctrl+shift+f
collides with nothing — no character, no browser binding. Guarding it would only break it in the composer,
which is where you are when a theme starts annoying you.
The header pill now shows a star when what you are wearing is one of yours — only when true, because a
hollow star on every theme is chrome that says nothing two hundred times.
The row star in the overlay is a span with role="button", not a button: it sits inside the row's own
<button>, and nesting one is invalid HTML that browsers resolve by dropping one of them.
useThemeKeys takes the toggle as a callback rather than reaching for it. Favourites are per account and live
behind an API, which is app knowledge; this hook owns keys and selection and nothing else.

Four changes for 200+ themes, and one mistake worth recording.
ORDERING IS A ROTATION, not a sort. The registry order is the list's only structure — families sit together
in it — so lifting the selected theme to the top answers "which am I on" by destroying "what is next to it".
Rotating keeps every neighbour and moves the starting point. Both lists use the same `ordered` array, which
is the point: "the one below the one I have on" has to mean the same thing in the dropdown and in the
ctrl+shift+space browser, or one teaches an order the other contradicts.
FAVOURITES are a table, not a JSON column. theme_favorites is a row per star, so a toggle is an INSERT or a
DELETE and cannot race with itself; an array in user_settings would be read-modify-written and two tabs would
lose one. No foreign key to a theme, because themes are not rows — most are compiled in, the rest are
directories discovered at request time — so a star can outlive its theme and the reader intersects with the
live registry rather than trusting the table.
Favourites-first is a second rotation-preserving pass rather than a filter, so the list can still answer
"what else is there". Filtering to favourites only is a separate, explicit toggle.
THE INSTRUCTIONS NO LONGER SCROLL AWAY. DropdownMenuContent carried overflow-y-auto itself, so the one line
telling you the shortcuts exist was visible for half a second and then gone under two hundred entries —
which is the same as not having written it. Header and footer are now siblings of a scroll box instead of
passengers in it, and the header names alt+space too.
THE MISTAKE: the routes went on /themes first, and that prefix is deliberately UNAUTHENTICATED — the
sign-in screen paints in the chosen theme, before any account exists to ask. An anonymous GET answered 500,
which was the consequence arriving politely. They now live on /theme-favorites, claimed by the `account`
permission, which is core and already owns /user, /dock and /api-keys: a starred theme is the same shape as
a dock preference. I then mounted it one line off, in the unprotected block beside the thing I was moving it
away from, and caught that by reading rather than by testing.
Verified after: /api/theme-favorites is 401 unauthenticated on both verbs, and /api/themes still answers 200
so the login screen keeps its colours.
10 tests on the pure ordering — including the property that makes a rotation a rotation: every adjacency in
the original survives it.

The arrow keys sometimes did nothing when the launcher was opened from a text field, and the two halves of
that are one bug: navigation lived on the panel input's onKeyDown, so every keystroke was conditional on
focus having actually landed there. When it had not — the composer kept it — ArrowDown went to the textarea
and the launcher never saw the key.
Two fixes, because either alone leaves the other half.
Opening now blurs whatever had focus, explicitly, before the overlay mounts. The effect that focuses the
panel's own input was already there and is enough on paper; "on paper" is what produced an
intermittent bug, so the outgoing element is blurred rather than assumed away.
And navigation moved to the window listener that already handled Escape, so it works regardless of what has
focus — a panel that grabbed it back, a blur that lost a race, an element with its own key handling. The
input's copy is deleted; leaving both would move the cursor twice per press whenever focus did land.
The handler reads `results` and `active` through refs, deliberately. The listener registers once per open,
so closing over them would pin it to their values at registration — arrowing down would read a stale list
and Enter would open whatever was first when the panel appeared. Putting them in the effect's deps instead
re-registers the listener on every keystroke, which is the same bug in a costume.

It read as cramped because the first pass reused the app's own list sizing — a 7px tile, text-sm, py-2 —
which is right for a row inside a panel competing with everything around it, and wrong for a modal you look
at for two seconds with nothing else on screen.
So the search input leads at text-base with a 5px glyph, rows are py-2.5 with a 9px tile, and the label is
text-[15px] with the hint and the route kept deliberately subordinate rather than scaled with it.
Two knock-on changes that are arithmetic rather than taste. The panel widened 560 → 640, because a row now
carries a label, a hint and a route on one line and the route is the first thing squeezed out — it is also
what disambiguates two rows with the same name. And the results box grew 52vh → 60vh, because taller rows in
the same box show fewer results, which would have quietly undone removing the eight-item cap.

The focus guard was still there. I moved the trigger to alt-space, wrote that the guard was no longer
load-bearing, and then kept it anyway "as belt-and-braces" — which left the exact bug the move was meant to
fix. Focus is usually in the chat composer, so the launcher did not open from the place it is most often
wanted. Reported one commit later, by the owner, from a text field.
The guard existed because shift-space types a space and eating that keystroke was unacceptable. Alt-space
types nothing, so there is nothing to protect. preventDefault on the handler covers the residual case a
layout might deliver, which is what the guard was really insuring against.
isTyping is deleted rather than left unused: a dead helper carrying a long comment about a decision that has
been reversed is worse than no helper, because the comment still reads as current.

Third chord in a day, and each move was the owner naming a collision on the machine he actually uses:
ctrl-space is Brave's address bar, shift-space types a space, alt-space is the window menu — and he rebound
that rather than give up the chord.
Shift-space was the worst of the three and it is worth saying why, because it read as the safe choice.
It is a real key combination inside a text field: it types a space, and people hold shift through one more
often than they think while typing capitals. So it had to stand down whenever focus was in an input — which
is where focus usually is, the chat composer — and a launcher you have to click out of a field to reach is
not a launcher.
Alt-space means nothing in a text field, so the isTyping guard stops being the thing holding the feature up
and becomes belt-and-braces. Kept anyway: two lines against some layout delivering alt-space as a literal
character, which is cheap to prevent and expensive to discover.
`altKey` with `ev.code`, not `ev.key` — alt-space produces a different `key` on several layouts and nothing
at all on others, while the physical key is `Space` everywhere.
No second chord. Two triggers for one thing means two things to collide with, and this one has moved twice.
The TODO item's id still says ctrl-space. Ids are stable by design, so it stays; its body now records all
three moves and which guard was load-bearing for which.

Breadcrumb links rested at duck-forest and hovered to duck-teal; they now sit at the
hover colour, so the hover and its transition go with it. One shared component, so the
full browser and the dashboard widget both pick it up. The current folder stays
duck-dark semibold, keeping clickable and current distinct.
Header: the theme control leads the right cluster and names the theme it is wearing
rather than showing a palette glyph — with 227 of them, which one is on is worth reading.
It takes JobsIndicator's pill styling so the cluster stays one shape, and keeps its
colour on --header-fg rather than hardcoding white.
The jobs indicators and the rescan button are Super Admin only now. Cosmetic, and the
comment says so: /jobs stays reachable by URL and rescan is gated server-side, so
nothing here is load-bearing. Uses the same user?.role check UserMenu already makes in
this folder rather than adding a second convention.

MAX_RESULTS was 8. Core items alone fill eight slots, so on a populated server the empty-query list stopped
at Browser and none of the fourteen plugin tiles below it could be reached — unless you already knew the
name well enough to type it, which is not a thing a launcher gets to require. The owner caught it on alpha
with the dock and the launcher side by side; on this machine, which has few plugins, it looked complete.
The items were there the whole time. This was not a missing source — it was a silent truncation, with
nothing on screen saying "and 20 more", which is exactly how a cap reads as an absent feature.
There was never a layout reason for it either: the results container has scrolled since it was written.
Removed, and the active row now scrolls itself into view with `block: 'nearest'` so arrowing past the fold
works and arrowing through the visible middle does not jump the list.

Two things made it read as a generic list rather than as this app's own, and neither was the item source —
that was already the dock, and plugins were already in it.
TILES. SpotlightItem dropped `tile`, so every row got a `${color}22` tinted square: a third visual language
belonging to neither of the dock's two. Which put a coloured pane behind Calendar, Contacts and every
plugin's logo — the exact thing the dock's own comment calls out as reading like a mistake. Rows now use the
dock's rule: a filled square of the item's colour with a white glyph, or no background at all when the
artwork brings its own frame. A settings row with no colour keeps a muted glyph instead of getting a swatch
invented for it.
SETTINGS. The hand-listed sections had drifted within two days of being written, and the file's own comment
predicted it ("worth revisiting if it drifts"). Nine rows against a settings area that has twenty-one:
Languages and Voice missing entirely, every AI and System section missing, `/settings/users` pointing at a
route that does not exist — it is `/settings/user-management/users` — and four different rows sharing the
User glyph, which is most of what made the panel look generic.
Now twenty rows, copied from the five screens that declare them, with each group naming its source file so
checking is one grep. The comment records that the drift HAPPENED rather than predicting it, and says
deriving them from the screens is the fix if it happens a third time.

Maintenance had "rebuild the frontend" and "restart the server" — one compiles what is on disk, the
other reloads it, and neither CHANGES what is on disk. Doing that meant ssh, on every server, every
time.
Refuses a dirty tree and a non-fast-forward, the same two refusals as pullPlugin and for the same
reason: this checkout is somebody's working copy on at least one machine, and a button that discards
uncommitted work is worse than no button. Fetches `origin HEAD` rather than a branch name, because a
checkout made before the default branch was renamed is on one the remote no longer has — the trap
plugins/update.ts already hit, and it bites hardest on the installs most in need of updating.
It deliberately does not chain into anything. A pull touching bun.lock means an install, which the
frozen-lockfile rule exists to keep deliberate; one touching a schema means db:push against a live
database. So it REPORTS what the update implies — install, db:push, restart or rebuild — from the file
list, and leaves the decision with whoever pressed it. The commits pulled are shown, because "it
worked" is less useful than knowing what arrived.

ctrl-space focuses the address bar in Brave, so it never reached the app.
shift-space is a real combination inside a text field — it types a space, and people hold shift through
one more often than they think while typing capitals. So the trigger is ignored when focus is in an
input, a textarea or anything contenteditable, and the space is typed as normal.
The cost is worth stating rather than discovering: focus usually IS in the chat composer, so opening
Spotlight from there means clicking out first. If that turns out to be the common case, a double-tap of
shift is the escape hatch — it conflicts with nothing anywhere.

The dock is full and cannot grow. Once navigation lives here it is free to be a short list of what you
actually use rather than a complete one — which is the other half of this and is not done yet.
It INDEXES THE DOCK rather than keeping a list of its own. The dock is already the composed,
permission-filtered answer to "what can this account open here": the shell's screens, plus whatever
installed plugins contribute, minus anything canVisit refuses. A second list would be a second answer
to one question, and it would be wrong the day somebody installs a plugin. So a new plugin appears in
Spotlight for the reason it appears in the dock — because it is installed — and nothing here is edited.
Settings sections are added, because they are what people hunt for and the dock deliberately does not
carry them. Those ARE hand-listed, which is a real cost written down in the file: a section added to
IntegrationsSettings will not appear until someone adds it here. The alternative couples five settings
screens to the shell to save five lines.
Matching is subsequence, not substring, and lives in its own file so it can be tested with strings:
"chq" finds Command HQ, "apik" finds API keys, "fi" gives Files rather than Profile. The weights encode
what "the right result" means — exact label, then prefix, then word boundaries, then adjacency, with
shortness breaking ties so "Chat" beats "Chat history". Labels are worth about three times hints, and
paths almost nothing, so a path fragment finds an item without ever outranking a real label. Nine tests
cover the ORDER rather than the matching, because returning the right set is easy and returning it with
the right thing first is the product.
ctrl-space, not alt-space: the more macOS-shaped chord is already load-bearing for the owner. Not
cmd-k either — that belongs to the browser on some platforms and to text fields on others.
Mounted beside the header and the dock rather than inside the content region, so it still gets you off
a screen that is maximised, erroring or mid-navigation.

The last two pieces the extraction missed. IntegrationsSettings/BrowserRelay.tsx drove the plugin's
pairing from a platform screen, calling /browser/relay-token and working only because the plugin
happens to serve that path — the same coupling removed everywhere else this morning.
public/browser-relay-extension.zip was a hand-built snapshot that had drifted 58 lines behind the
extension it claimed to be: built in August from something predating a February commit, never rebuilt,
and missing the multi-session recovery path. The plugin builds the archive from its own directory per
request now, so there is nothing left to fall behind.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
plugins/browser now owns the extension, the relay, the CDP bridge, the pairing routes and the two
panels. All of it was on disk and switched off since 2026-08-13 — nothing was recovered from history,
and nothing regressed, because none of it had been running.
What the platform keeps is /scrape, and the two were never one feature split in half. Scrape launches
a headless chromium through playwright as the OWNER and knows nobody; the plugin attaches to the
browser a person is already signed into, scoped per pairing. The permission is renamed "Scraping" so
the registry stops describing one thing in the other's words, and it drops the /browser frontend route
it could no longer serve.
Two dead screens went with it. BrowserScreen and DesktopScreen were officer-web screens rendering
panels through appType placeholders — a plugin supplies its own route and panels through
Plugins.gen.tsx, so both were redundant the moment their plugins existed. DesktopScreen was a leftover
from this morning's extraction that typechecked cleanly while rendering a panel the AppRegistry no
longer had: dead at runtime, invisible to the compiler.
The long comment in server.tsx explaining BROWSER_RELAY_PORT goes too, replaced by a pointer to where
it lives now. It was written for whoever did this extraction, and this is that.

Five revoked keys, no live ones, and no way to remove any of them — which is what the screen looks
like after a few rounds of testing. `listApiKeys` returns every row and nothing filtered them, so a
list whose job is "which of my keys still work" answered with a wall of dead ones.
Nobody decided that. Revoke was implemented and the list was never taught the difference.
Dead keys — revoked or past expiry — are now hidden behind a "Show 5 revoked or expired keys"
toggle rather than merely dimmed, because on any account in use for a while they outnumber the live
ones. The empty state distinguishes "No keys yet" from "No keys in use": the first is false on an
account whose keys are all revoked, and it is exactly the sentence that sends somebody hunting for a
bug in the list.
DELETE /:id/record removes the row for good, and only after it is revoked. The `revokedAt is not
null` clause is in the statement rather than checked before it, so there is no ordering in which a
live key is deleted by a request that raced a revoke. Nothing is weakened by allowing it: the key
cannot be honoured again either way, since authentication matches a hash and a deleted row has none.
What goes is the history — `lastUsedAt`, the only evidence of whether a leaked key was used before it
was killed — which is why it stays a second, deliberate step rather than what revoke does.
Also corrected the copy, which claimed keys are per-app. They are not scoped to anything: one key
works everywhere, and per-device is a revocation convenience, not a requirement. The owner had to ask.

Reported by the owner, who went looking for them in user management and then in profile, and found
them in neither. They were under Integrations.
A key is not an integration with anything. It is a second way to present the authority the account
already has, and the permission registry already says exactly that: `/api-keys` is `core`, sitting
beside `/user` and `/dock`, with the comment "a key is not new authority". Profile, next to the
password it stands in for, is where somebody looks.
Moved rather than duplicated, and the route moves with it — /settings/profile/api-keys. Nothing
linked to the old path, so there is no redirect to keep.

`IntegrationsSettings/index.tsx` has carried the rule since email was extracted
on 2026-08-18: "A plugin contributes panels, not settings sections, so it now
lives inside the email workspace itself."
the atelier extraction brief said the opposite, and the brief was mine and
wrong. sonnet found the contradiction, recorded it in BLOCKERS.md under a
heading that says "against a direct precedent", and followed the instruction
anyway — which is what it was told to do. so the wrong call got implemented
carefully rather than caught.
settings in the platform mean the plugin is not self-contained: it cannot be
configured on an older platform, and uninstalling leaves a dead section in the
settings screen for someone to delete by hand. neither is true of a panel.
the section, its import and its now-unused icon are gone from here. the screen
is `plugins/atelier/web/Providers/` and a fourth panel.
the key field was an Input and a Button side by side, outside a form, so Enter
did nothing. pasting a key and pressing enter is the strongest habit there is
in a password field, and when it silently does nothing it reads as "the key
did not save" — which is the one thing this screen must never be ambiguous
about.
TODO.md tracks nineteen panels with the same defect. this is not the twentieth.
everything else in the screen was already right and is left alone: type=password,
autoComplete=off, the server never returning a key, and the field starting
empty with a placeholder that says whether one is set.
decision 2 of the atelier extraction: providers (which adapter, which model, whose key) becomes an
Officer settings screen rather than a panel, since it is owner-level configuration in the same shape
as the Apify token beside it. Talks to /api/atelier/providers over HTTP through useClient() — no
import from plugins/atelier/ in either direction.
recorded in BLOCKERS.md: this goes against IntegrationsSettings' own comment from the email
extraction five days earlier ("a plugin contributes panels, not settings sections"). Followed the
pre-made decision anyway per the kickoff prompt's own instructions, and wrote down the
contradiction rather than picking one silently.
the button counts skills — one directory with a SKILL.md is one skill. it now
also reports how many are actually OFFERED to an agent, which is a different
number: the loader skips any without a `description`, because a line that does
not say when to reach for something costs context in every conversation and
earns nothing.
so a skill can be present, listed, editable in the UI, and invisible to every
agent, with nothing anywhere saying why. the toast names the gap and the reason
rather than leaving two numbers to be noticed by whoever thinks to compare them.
the header's rescan walks ITEM_TYPES, and affordances are not one — no
directory per item, no canonical file — so they were invisible to it. write a
new affordance, press the button, and nothing in the response mentions it.
counted by LOADING them rather than counting .md files, so the number means
"affordances the agent will actually receive" and not "markdown files
present": one with no body is skipped by the loader and should not be reported
as though it were working.
counting is as far as this can honestly go, and the toast now says so.
affordanceBlock() is read when a chat session is CREATED, so a new affordance
is already live without a server restart — for the NEXT session. nothing can
retrofit one into a conversation already running, because its system prompt
was assembled when it started. the button's value here is "the file is on disk
and the platform can see it", which was the part genuinely unknowable from the
UI.
also creates the affordances directory, so it is discoverable on a machine
that has never had one, the same way the item dirs already are.
Fifteen sites across thirteen files where a raw green stood in for a
semantic state: connection dots, health lights, completed-job ticks, the
copied-to-clipboard check, the installed badge, the checksum-matched line.
All of them meant "on / connected / succeeded", and matched each other only
because several people happened to pick the same palette number.
The values do move: --success is #16a34a where green-500 was #22c55e and
emerald-500 #10b981. That is the point — one token, so a theme can change
its mind once, and under plain.css (the leak-detection theme, which greys
--success to #404040) these now go colourless instead of staying green.
Left alone, deliberately: the confetti palette and the Start button in
start-confetti-button, the duck-avatar debug HUD, MetricCard's up/down
delta ramp, CommandBlock's check on its hardcoded dark block, the
react-email template, and the plain.css comment that names the anti-pattern.
Reds are untouched — that is a separate pass, so some ternaries now read
bg-success : bg-red-500 until it happens.

Replaces the old mark everywhere it is referenced — the header reads it through
--logo-src and every theme points at the same file, and the auth landing page and
the emailer read it directly, so one asset covers all three.
The CSS skew goes with it. That is where the old logo's slant came from, and
applying it to this one shears letterforms that were kerned pair by pair by hand
and signed off as finished. See landing/assets/brand/WORDMARK.md for the
construction.

Client half of the per-chat notification preference — DetailBar gets a bell
dropdown (every end of turn / only when input is needed / none), a global
useChatNotifications hook holds one connection to /api/chat/notify/ws for
the whole session so a background chat can still ring the bell and fire a
browser Notification, and the session list shows a badge on any row set to
notify. The server side (schema, the notify-delivery socket, the sidecar
signal at turn-end/plan-gate/question-gate) landed already in 5cba1b65,
swept in from a concurrent session sharing this working tree.

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

24 panel and screen files had their fields sitting in a <div> instead of a
<form> — typing a value and pressing Enter did nothing, and the button was
the only way in. Fixed the sites that are a real form, a single field with
an obvious action, or a multi-field editor; left search/filter boxes and a
few genuinely ambiguous sites alone (see TODO.md for the full breakdown).

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

git + tea, drawn to the icon brief: a green voxel teacup with the branch diagram
pressed into the glaze as a maker's emblem, and Officer Duck on the rim.
Core dock item with no phone app behind it, so there is an icon and no splash —
a splash belongs to something that launches.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both were redrawn to the icon brief today, so the dock shows the same voxel mark
the phone apps do rather than a lucide CalendarDays and Contact.
tile: 'bare' for the same reason a plugin's artwork gets it — the art brings its
own frame, and a coloured square behind it reads as a mistake. color stays
because the active glow, the indicator dot and the settings tint all still use
it.
These two are core rather than plugins, so the files live in public/icons/
alongside the duck rather than arriving through publishAssets.

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

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

Ninth extraction, third resurrection. Switched off since 2026-08-13 with the
permission reduced to api: [], so assertPermissionTotality was satisfied, the
server booted clean, and every panel request 404'd. Closes the same data hazard
as jellyfin and soulseek: invoiceshelf/schema was commented out of the drizzle
barrel.
Named `invoices`, not `invoiceshelf`. The appName is THE id — API prefix,
frontend route, table prefix, sidecar suffix, install key — and before
extraction the API (/api/invoiceshelf) and the screen (/invoices) had drifted
apart, which was harmless only while they were separate hardcoded strings. The
route is the part a person sees, and the permission key and label were already
`invoices`, so the API prefix was the odd one out. Cost three call sites and a
table rename to invoices_accounts, which was free only because the table
existed on no server — verified before deciding, not after.
members.test.ts re-anchored again, this time to caldav and memos: services with
no extraction planned. That assertion has now been re-pointed four times by
services leaving for plugins/, which is the whole reason installer.test.ts was
made literal earlier tonight.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Eighth extraction, second resurrection. Same shape as soulseek: hono.ts had the
router import and its PROTECTED_MOUNTS entry commented out since 2026-08-13 and
the permission reduced to api: [], so assertPermissionTotality was satisfied,
the server booted clean, and every panel request 404'd. Also closes the same
data hazard — jellyfin_servers was absent from the drizzle barrel, so bun
db:push would have dropped it.
No frontend call site needed repointing: mountPrefix derives /jellyfin from the
appName, which is what the router already hardcoded.
Test fixtures fixed properly rather than re-anchored again. Extracting jellyfin
broke 18 tests, the FOURTH extraction in a row to break the same files — photos
and transmission yesterday, slskd an hour ago, jellyfin now. installer.test.ts
now builds literal CatalogueEntry fixtures and asks the catalogue nothing: it
pins planSteps and runInstall, which are installer logic, and a service leaving
for plugins/ says nothing about whether the installer still plans the right
steps. catalogue.test.ts stays the place real entries are checked well-formed.
members/catalogue/preflight re-anchored to memos, which has jellyfin's exact
shape.
The .prettierignore rule for the vendored hls.mjs moved into the plugin rather
than being left behind naming a deleted path.

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

Sixth extraction, straight after photos. Everything transmission now lives at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/transmission.
Deleted, not commented: the sidecar, the api router, the Transmission app (28
files including detail/ and dialogs/), the screen, the App.tsx route pair, the
Dashboard barrel line, the usePageTitle rule, the AppRegistry wiring, the
officerdev barrel re-exports, the permission registry entry, the hono.ts import
and mount comments, and the app-store catalogue entry.
No database change: transmission owns no tables. Its connection lives in
service_connections, a core table it now depends on from outside — a real
coupling, recorded in the plugin's own PLUGIN.md rather than left to be
discovered.
── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──
Transmission was the canonical `members: 'none'` fixture — a single-tenant
daemon with no user concept — across three app-store test files. slskd has the
identical shape, so the assertions moved there. Deleting them would have
quietly dropped coverage of the no-members install path along with the plugin,
which is the same trap the vault extraction hit with `members: 'invite'`.
── Vocabulary swept, per the runbook ──
Six screens and two App.tsx comments pointed at `/photos` or `/transmission` as
the worked example of the Workspace/Panel shape. Both are plugins now, so those
pointers dangled at code no longer in the tree. Repointed at /command-hq and
/soulseek, which are core.
bunx tsgo clean. 1080 pass / 0 fail.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fifth extraction, and the clean case: no reverse dependency, configuration
already server-side, frontend already panels. Everything photos now lives at
gitea.officer.dev/plugins/photos.
Deleted, not commented: the sidecar, the api router, the db directory, the
Photos app (25 files), the screen, the App.tsx route pair, the Dashboard
barrel line, the usePageTitle rule, the AppRegistry wiring, the officerdev
barrel re-exports, the permission registry entry, both database barrels, the
hono.ts import comment, and the app-store catalogue entry.
The catalogue deletion is required rather than tidying — the trap the runbook
records as having bitten twice. permissionAvailability() derives from
sidecar_installs, which a plugin never gets a row in, so a leftover entry makes
the permission permanently 'unavailable' and withholds the route and dock tile
on a server where the plugin is installed and working.
── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──
Photos was the canonical app-store fixture across four test files, chosen for
being existing|provisioned with members: 'accounts'. Jellyfin has the identical
shape, so the assertions moved there — they are about the installer, not about
photos, and deleting them would have quietly dropped coverage of the provisioned
install path along with the plugin.
One loss worth naming: Immich's `provisioned` install mode went with the
catalogue entry. Docker provisioning for plugins does not exist yet, so photos
is point-at-your-own-instance until it does.
bunx tsgo clean. 1080 pass / 0 fail, unchanged.

Builds the Workspace/Panel screen the design doc's "Layout, v1" described but
nothing had implemented yet: /command-hq and /command-hq/:sessionId, three
always-mounted panels (officerdev/src/apps/CommandHQ/) — a flat category nav
filtering the grid via ?category=, a commander grid reading GET /commanders,
and a detail pane that is either an empty state, the new-commander composer, or
the selected commander's resumed transcript.
Follows the frontend route conventions in CLAUDE.md throughout: Workspace/Panel
framework (locked, three fixed panels, no standalone screen), category and
session both addressable in the URL rather than a channel, real <Link>s for
every row and card, a route pair (/command-hq + /command-hq/:sessionId) the
same shape as /chat's.
The composer reuses the exact mechanism /chat already uses to create a
commander — an ordinary turn with context: 'command-hq' via useChat/
EmbeddableChat — rather than the mobile-only POST /commanders/new HTTP route.
Once the harness reports a real transcript id the URL is replaced onto it
(useChat's own permalink writes /chat/<id>, which is the wrong screen here, so
that's done by hand). fileAsCommander always files a new commander
uncategorised — it has no way to know a category was selected in the composer
— so if one was, a client-side PATCH sets it after the fact, the same race
POST /commanders/new already resolves server-side for mobile, just resolved
here on the client instead.
The detail panel's transcript resume mirrors ChatPanelWrapper's fetch-then-
mount pattern (GET /chat/sessions/:id first, then useChat with
resumeSessionId + initialMessages + paginate) rather than reusing it directly
— Command HQ's version is simpler (no dashboard/agent-panel concerns) and
scopes rename/category/disarm through Command HQ's own PATCH route rather
than /chat's, since a commander lives in a different directory than an
ordinary chat session.
Card status is the three-state read COMMS/command-hq/mobile-4.md proposed and
the design record adopted: green running, amber armed-but-not-running (the
watcherArmed && !running pair that makes a silently-dead watcher visible),
grey neither.
Registered in AppRegistry.tsx, re-exported from officerdev's barrel (route
helpers + types, per CLAUDE.md's rule for anything an officer-web screen
needs), a CORE_DOCK_ITEMS tile (not in DEFAULT_DOCK_PATHS — opt-in via the
Dock settings screen, same as Jobs/Monitor/Activity), and a usePageTitle rule.
bunx tsgo clean, suite at its 7 pre-existing baseline failures, none of them
this feature's. NOT yet clicked through against a running server — the
composer's redirect-on-real-id, the disarm button, the category-race PATCH
have all typechecked and nothing more. That's the next real test.

a sweep for remnants after 2026-08-18. nothing was broken - no dangling
import, symbol, route or permission key anywhere in src/ - but the platform
was still speaking the plugin's vocabulary in a dozen places.
the one that mattered is live code rather than prose: ChatPanelWrapper
hardcodes workspace.id === 'email' to send context: 'email', which is the
frontend half of the pair whose backend half (resolveEmailCwd) carries a
fifteen-line justification. the two ends now both say so, including that
adding a SECOND id there is the signal the platform needs a real way for a
plugin to declare a chat context.
the rest: two dead imports left by removing the settings section, an empty
'Email' type-section header, a protocol.ts section header with no members
naming the plugin's SSE design, and a queue comment pointing at
sidecar/email/sync-runner.ts - a path in another repository now.
CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and working-on-officer.md described email as a platform
feature, an app permission and a pm2 process. those are the files a fresh
agent reads first, so they were the highest-risk staleness in the tree.
TODO.md's whole Email section moved to the plugin's own repository. it held
OPEN items pointing at sidecar/email/store.ts, which is exactly how a leftover
list sends someone to edit files that do not exist.
the delete-account dialog promised it would remove email accounts and
playlists. both tables belong to plugins now, so that cascade only happens
where the plugin is installed - it now says 'anything an installed plugin
keeps for them' instead of naming two it cannot guarantee.
imapflow and mailparser STAY in package.json. the plugin has no package.json
of its own and resolves from the platform's node_modules, so removing them
would break the installed plugin's sidecar. the fix is giving plugins their
own dependency manifest, not deleting these.

the sidecar, the router, the table, the screens and the account manager are
gone from src/ entirely - deleted, not commented, because a commented mount is
what assertPermissionTotality cannot see.
three reverse imports had to go first, and they are what decided the boundary.
core may not import a plugin's queries, and one of these had already proved
why: getEmailAccounts was awaited at the top level of the agent sidecar, so
when the table went away on 2026-08-13 the rejection took officer-agent into a
pm2 restart loop with every live chat session inside it (fbb6d6c7).
both survivors now read the DISK instead. findEmailAccountName() in
data-path.ts picks the newest emails.db under an account's email_accounts/
directory - no import, no query, and nothing to throw when the plugin is not
installed. the layout was already the platform's, so this costs no coupling.
the agent keeps its email_db tool and an email-context chat still opens in the
right mailbox.
the google oauth callback no longer appends /email to the dock: a plugin's
route is the plugin's business.
app-store/catalogue.ts entry deleted, and that is the whole point rather than
tidying. permissionAvailability derives from sidecar_installs and a plugin only
ever gets a plugin_installs row, so a leftover entry makes the permission
permanently unavailable - denied route, no dock tile - on a machine where the
plugin is installed and healthy. it has bitten headscale and nearly music.
two app-store tests used email as their config-only fixture; repointed at
notify, which is the same shape.
google-auth stays in core and the plugin imports it via @@/. that direction is
allowed and google-auth knows nothing about mail.

opusplan has been in the picker since 57bbcca9 and did nothing: it means
'Opus while planning, Sonnet at rest', and claude-manager hardcoded
permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions', so a session never entered plan mode
and opusplan rested forever on Sonnet.
verified against a real claude first (SDK 0.3.233), and one finding changed
the design: approving ExitPlanMode drops the harness into 'default', NOT back
into bypassPermissions, and the agent carries on inside the same turn. so the
restore is fired the moment approval is given rather than at turn end, and
canUseTool allows everything that is not ExitPlanMode - for a few hundred ms
it is the only thing between the agent and its tools, and a default-deny there
would jail an agent the platform deliberately does not jail.
canUseTool is passed always. under bypassPermissions the SDK shadows it
entirely (CLAUDE_SDK_CAN_USE_TOOL_SHADOWED) so it costs a log line, and since
it is a query() option read once, passing it unconditionally is what makes the
mode toggleable on a live conversation instead of only at session start.
sticky per session on chat_session_models.plan_mode, beside the model because
they are one decision about what a turn costs. boolean rather than the
PermissionMode string: officer exposes two of the five, and a text column would
accept three the sidecar cannot handle.
plan approval is the only place the agent blocks on officer - a canUseTool
promise held in the sidecar while the plan round-trips to a browser. every path
that ends a session or a turn settles it as refused, plus a 20m timeout, because
a leaked entry is a hung turn rather than a stale value.
not auto-entered for opusplan: the CLI does not either. the toggle says so
instead - 'opusplan rests on Sonnet, turn on Plan for Opus'.

The /chat sidebar was two panels in a vertical 25/75 split — Live above, Sessions below — plus a directory
dropdown in the list header. Three problems that compounded: the Live panel was empty almost always, so a
quarter of the sidebar was permanently blank; the two panels had entirely disjoint indicators, so a
conversation with a turn running looked ordinary in the history; and the dropdown showed one directory at a
time, which turned "where was I working on that" into a search.
Now one panel, three tabs. Tree answers "what have I got, by project". Latest answers "what was I just
doing". Live answers "what is running". Same rows, same indicators, one place.
Tree is an accordion over /chat/pwds, each header carrying the full path from ~, the session count, and a
live count — plus New Chat here, since the tree only lists directories that already have history. A
COLLAPSED NODE ISSUES NO REQUEST: sessions are read by scanning transcripts off disk, and eager mounting
would be one scan per directory for rows nobody asked to see. `useClaudeSessions(cwd, {enabled})` is the
whole mechanism. The per-directory live count comes from the poll's own `cwd`, never from
`liveSessionTitle`, which reads a whole transcript and whose own comment warns against calling it from
anywhere hotter than a ten-second poll.
Latest needs a new server mode, `GET /chat/sessions?all=1` → `listAllClaudeSessions`. It loops directories
rather than scanning flat, because /clear chains are merged per group and a flat scan would let two
unrelated chains in different directories collapse into each other. Fetched only while the tab is showing.
Rows now carry the model, from the batched `getChatSessionModels` — one query per page, which is what that
query was added for.
THE MIGRATION IS THE DANGEROUS PART AND IT IS INVERTED. Every persisted layout still names `chat-live`, an
appType that no longer exists; `normalizeLayout` would collapse it onto the fallback and WRITE THAT BACK,
which is what made /offscale render three server pickers this morning (ed3806f9). The existing guard adopted
layouts LACKING the panel, so it had to flip to adopting layouts that HAVE it. defaultLayout.test.ts pins
both halves: the replacement must not contain the appType the guard tests for, or the effect fires on its
own output forever.
Deletes LiveSessions.tsx and PwdSelector.tsx — both replaced. Fixes the inherited bug in passing: the
"generating" Loader2 never had `animate-spin`, so the one indicator meaning "work is happening right now"
was a static icon.
View and expanded-node state go in localStorage, not the URL (a tab is a preference, and every session link
would carry it), not usePanelConfig (a NO-OP setter in a locked workspace, and /chat is locked), and not
useDashboardState (its PATCH only accepts layout-shaped objects). /chat/g/<path> still works and opens that
directory in the tree.
Untested against a running server: officer has not been restarted since these changes, and I am not
restarting it mid-conversation. `?all=1` and the model field are verified only by typecheck.
