Asked for a thorough check that nothing of offscale is left in the platform. The
extraction was sound — no router, no permission entry, no app-store entry, no
screen, no panel app, no env var anything reads. Two things were genuinely wrong,
and both were in setup rather than in the server.
── The secret store minted a key for a plugin ──
`officer-setup` bootstrapped two purposes: `jwt` and `headscale`. The second was a
key for a PLUGIN, under a name the rename had already replaced, on a machine where
the plugin is not installed and nothing would ever ask for it. offscale encrypts
under `offscale`, and `getKey` creates on demand — which is precisely what lets
core know nothing about plugins. Now core bootstraps `jwt` alone.
── `.env.example` documented variables for a deleted router ──
HEADSCALE_URL, HEADSCALE_API_KEY and HEADSCALE_USER were described as driving
`/api/vpn`. That router was deleted on 2026-08-14 and nothing has read any of them
since. Left as a note saying where the tailnet's credentials live now, because
somebody with an older `.env` will otherwise wonder why setting them does nothing.
── Names that outlived the thing ──
Eleven comments referred to the plugin's route, panels, console or server registry
as "headscale": three sidecar config files describing their own shape by pointing
at it, two screens citing `/headscale` as the example of a Workspace/Panel route,
the terminal's note about the Console, and the photos types. Also `catalogue.ts`,
which still claimed headscale "is CORE now", and `working-on-officer.md`, which
told the reader a core install runs six processes including `officer-headscale`.
Upstream references are deliberately untouched: "Headscale's API", "the Headscale
admin credential", "is this a Headscale server?" all name the thing the plugin
drives, and renaming those would make the sentences false.
`docs/secret-store.md` argued headscale must be core because the tailnet is the
perimeter. Marked superseded rather than deleted, with the distinction that
settles it: the perimeter is the tailnet EXISTING, which machine-setup still
arranges on a core install — not the platform shipping the screen that
administers it.
Verified by counting: live code, setup provisioning, env references, permission
entries, app-store entries, hono mounts, dock defaults, screens and panel apps all
zero. What is left is generated files (Plugins.gen, plugin-schemas.gen), the
bundled catalogue entry, test fixtures using "offscale" as an example app name,
and history.
tsgo clean, frontend builds, 873 pass / 7 fail unchanged, setup scripts parse.

Committed before restarting, deliberately: this changes the registration wire,
and the restart that proves it also bounces officer-claude-code, which is what
the session doing the work runs on. An uncommitted 25-file protocol change is
worse to inherit than one marked unverified.
`capabilities: ['music']` → `handles: ['music']` on the registration message,
across 20 sidecars, both plugins, the connector, the registry and the protocol
type. findSidecarByCapability → findSidecarHandling, waitForCapability →
waitForHandler.
The name: a sidecar already has `handleCommand`, so the list is literally what
it handles. `provider` was rejected — 390 existing uses and it already means
websocket door. `serves` was rejected — collides with HTTP serving, which
sidecars also do.
THIS IS A BREAKING WIRE CHANGE with no compatibility shim. A platform expecting
`handles` reads `undefined` from a sidecar sending `capabilities`, registers it
with an empty list, and every sendCommand finds nobody — chat, terminal and
music all fail with "No sidecar handling X is connected". So the whole estate
has to restart together; there is no rolling upgrade.
If it goes wrong: `git revert HEAD` and `pm2 restart all` again. The registry is
in-memory and nothing about this touches the database, so a revert is complete.
Found a fifth meaning of the word on the way, correctly named and untouched:
the pty sidecar's terminfo capability queries (XTGETTCAP escape sequences).
That is now five — permissions, the item store, routing keys, Lightning wallet
features, and terminfo.
tsgo clean, 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7. Not exercised against a live sidecar.
headscale leaves the platform. 45 files move to plugins/offscale/ and the
platform stops knowing it exists.
api/router.ts the thin auth-gated proxy, now at /api/offscale
sidecar/ 18 files, the whole headscale contract and its admin keys
db/ schema + queries, offscale_servers
web/ 26 files as panels and a layout — no screen, per the rule
removed from the platform: the hono mount, the `headscale` capability, the
App.tsx route pair, the screen and its barrel, the AppRegistry spread, the
officerdev re-exports, the dock tile, the page-title rule, and both database
barrels. tsgo is clean and nothing references it.
the imports tell the story of what the plugin↔host API actually is. the sidecar
takes @@/sidecar/protocol, @@/sidecar/connect, @@/data-path and
@@/officer-url.mjs; the queries take officerdb/db and officerdb/crypto; the
schema takes officerdb/auth/schema for the one reference a plugin may make; the
web half takes useClient, copyToClipboard, WorkspaceView and TerminalView from
the officerdev barrel. all of it resolves because a plugin lives inside the repo
— no publishing, no version negotiation.
AND IT FOUND A REAL BUG IN THE INSTALLER. createSidecarProxy learns its port
from a one-shot `<name>:server` event and subscribes when the plugin's router is
first imported — at mount. install started the sidecar BEFORE mounting, so the
announcement fired into a void: process online, routes mounted, every request
answering `503 sidecar not available` until something forced a reconnect. it
would have hit every plugin with an http sidecar. `example` never caught it
because it has no listener to announce.
install and enable now mount before starting; disable still unmounts before
stopping. neither direction leaves a mounted route in front of a sidecar that
cannot be reached.
verified live: /api/offscale/_officer/servers answers {"servers":[]}, /offscale
and /offscale/nodes serve, the old /api/headscale is 404, the offscale
capability is registered from the manifest, and officer-offscale is online.
757 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

src/databases/officer_db/src/<feature>/{schema.ts,queries.ts}, replacing the
parallel schema/ and queries/ trees. 24 feature directories, 46 files moved with
git mv so history follows.
The parallel trees had drifted, which is what the restructure is really fixing:
four features were named differently on each side — app-store/sidecar-installs,
email/email-accounts, server/server-config
operations had a schema and NO query file: its task_logs is reached directly
from src/servers/api/task-logger.ts, bypassing this package's own boundary
integrations had queries and NO schema, because it spans two features'
tables — server_integrations and user_integrations
Both lopsided cases survive as directories holding one file, which states the
problem instead of hiding it across two trees.
Nothing outside the package changed how it imports. `officerdb`, `officerdb/types`
and `officerdb/db` resolve exactly as before; index.ts absorbed the path changes.
Added `"./*": "./src/*"` so the new layout is reachable — `officerdb/soulseek/schema`
— which one script needed, because soulseek is a plugin and therefore commented
out of the aggregator.
schema/index.ts became src/schema.ts, keeping the core/plugin split from earlier
tonight. drizzle.config.ts and the package's "./schema" export follow it.
Verified rather than assumed: all 52 files in the package parse, every relative
import resolves against the new layout (checked by walking each specifier to a
real file, since parsing does not check paths), and everything in the tree
importing officerdb still parses. Not typechecked — empty node_modules, frozen
installs.
One rewrite bug worth recording: the rule mapping a query module's sibling import
also matched the './schema' this pass had just written, turning it into
'../schema/queries' in 22 files. Caught by the resolver check, not by parsing —
both spellings parse fine.
Also corrects every path reference the move invalidated: src/databases/CLAUDE.md's
layout diagram, the root CLAUDE.md data section, three docs, and seven sidecar
comments naming queries/<x>.ts.

officer-url.mjs is now the only file in the tree that touches process.env.PORT.
Twenty-two others read it and supplied their own default; a value with
twenty-two sources is not configuration, it is twenty-two things to keep in sync,
and they had already drifted three ways.
It throws when PORT is unset rather than guessing. A default only covers the case
where .env was never loaded — which is not a machine anyone wants running,
because POSTGRES_URL is missing in the same breath. What the default bought was a
process that starts, binds somewhere unexpected, and fails later for a reason
that does not name the cause. Same posture as jwt.ts with JWT_SECRET.
It is .mjs, not .ts, and that is the whole reason this could be one file. pm2
launches officer-pty with node (ecosystem.config.cjs) and everything else with
bun; node cannot import TypeScript, so a .ts module would have left the pty
sidecar holding the only surviving copy of the default — precisely the thing
being removed. allowJs is already on, so the TS callers still get types. Verified
both runtimes import it, and that PUBLIC_URL-style overrides still work.
It also exports API_URL and OFFICER_API_URL, because nineteen sidecars were
independently building `ws://127.0.0.1:${PORT}` and two more were building the
http form. Those are one listener described in two protocols — no sidecar binds
anything — so they belong beside the port rather than being rediscovered per
file.
server.tsx now takes PORT as a number, so Number(PORT) at the serve site is gone.
Not typechecked (empty node_modules, frozen installs). Every edited file parses
under `bun build --no-bundle`; node and bun both load the new module; the unset
and non-numeric paths were exercised; the pm2 profile still loads.

Every PORT fallback in the tree now says 9000. There were three answers to one
question, each defensible where it was written and none of them visible from the
others:
server.tsx and 19 sidecars 5000 a default from before there was an installer
user-instance.ts 9010 what scripts/setup-old/setup.sh really wrote
.env.example 9000 what we told people to write
5000 goes first because macOS binds it — AirPlay Receiver has owned it since
Monterey, so a dev server there fails to bind or gets shadowed by something that
answers.
All 22 sites moved together, which is the point. Changing the app alone would have
turned a consistent-but-wrong default into a split one: the app on 9000 while
nineteen sidecars still dialled 5000.
9010 was the interesting one. It was the only value that ever matched a real
machine, because it is what the old installer wrote — and it was in the single
file whose disagreement would have broken chat alone, with nothing else looking
wrong. Its own comment records the same bug being fixed once already, within the
file, by a change that left it disagreeing with everything outside it.
Note what these defaults actually are: the sidecars bind nothing. user-instance.ts
has no listener at all — it builds ws:// and http:// URLs that both address the
app's single listener. So every one of these numbers is a guess at where the app
is, for a value that .env always supplies. Worth removing rather than aligning,
which is a separate change.
Not typechecked (empty node_modules, frozen installs). Every edited file parses
under `bun build --no-bundle`; the pm2 profile loads.

Gitea is the first service where the server is shared but the account is not.
The owner connects the instance; every other user supplies only their own access
token and sees their own repositories, notifications and issues.
The plumbing was already per-user — createSidecarProxy injects the authenticated
caller's id as X-Officer-User, the sidecar refuses a request without it, and
service_connections is UNIQUE (user_id, service). What was wrong is that url and
token lived in the same row and a save demanded both, so a member would have had
to type the instance URL. That is worse than inconvenient: a member who can name
the URL has a per-user SSRF hop behind a settings form, and the sidecar would
dutifully attach their token to it.
`url` is now nullable, and NULL means "inherit the instance". The owner's row
carries the URL and IS the instance; everyone else's row is a credential. A
member's URL is therefore not stored rather than merely hidden — which is what
makes "members never see the instance URL" a property of the schema instead of a
filter somebody has to remember on every response.
Resolution lives in one place (getResolvedServiceCredentials / getServiceInstanceUrl)
rather than in each sidecar, so there is a single answer to "where is this
service" and no sidecar can accidentally trust a member-supplied URL.
Rules, all enforced in the sidecar rather than the UI, because a form that hides
a field is a suggestion and these are rules:
owner PUT /_config { url, token }, as before
member PUT /_config { token } only; a url in the body is REJECTED, not
ignored — ignoring it would leave someone debugging a
screen quietly talking to a different server
member, no instance 409, "the server owner has not connected a Gitea
instance yet"
member GET /_config has no url to return
owner disconnects members keep their tokens and resolve to nothing; no
instance, no service
GET /_config also now answers `instanceConfigured` and `isOwner`, which is what
lets the UI tell "you have not connected yet" from "there is nothing here to
connect to" — different screens.
memos, slskd and transmission front a single daemon and always store their own
URL; they now treat a null as a malformed row rather than reaching for somebody
else's instance.
Verified on a scratch database: pushing twice adds no diff churn beyond the known
pk_music_now_playing pair, and the resolution behaves — member GET returns a null
url, member credentials resolve to the owner's base with the member's own token,
and deleting the owner's row leaves the member's token intact but resolving to
nothing. All four live rows have a url today, so the column change applies
without touching data.
Not reachable by a real member yet: the account backstop still confines
non-owners to /api/auth + /api/music. This works the moment the capability model
lands, and until then is testable only by minting a token.

both sidecars read their upstream from a new service_connections table instead of
process.env: one row per (user, service), the secret encrypted at rest, upserted
through a /_config route the app drives. transmission gains a Connection section,
soulseek gains one too, and both take over the whole app while nothing is stored.
TRANSMISSION_URL/USER/PASS/RPC_PATH and SLSKD_URL/API_KEY can come out of .env.

a browsed folder is a path, not a file list, and what clicking one means is
"everything under here" — so the expansion happens in the sidecar, off the
cache, rather than making the browser walk the tree a level at a time and
rebuild paths it only half knows.
browse reports file names as basenames, unlike search, so the peer's real
path is rejoined from the folder row. sizes come from the cache too: slskd
matches a queued download on filename AND size, so a number supplied by the
client would be a transfer that silently never starts.
a subtree can be the peer's whole share (284k files on one measured peer), so
an over-limit request is refused with its count rather than truncated into a
partial download nobody asked for.

the tree search asked for no limit and clampInt read a missing param as 0
(Number(null) is 0, and 0 is finite), so it clamped to the minimum and ran
with LIMIT 1: one match came back, its siblings looked like non-matches, and
a folder with 25 matching albums showed none of them.
on top of that, a filtered row was a dead end — it only ever showed the
matches, with a note counting what it was hiding. now the note is the same
"show all N folders" button browse mode already had: clicking it drops that
row out of the filtered set, so from there down it is ordinary lazy
browsing, which is usually why you searched for the folder in the first
place. dropped the "don't match the filter" wording with it, since a
truncated result makes that sentence false.

slskd's browse response is flat: every folder is a full backslash-delimited
path. Rendered as-is, a filter for "pogues" gave 26 rows that all began with
the same 31 characters, and the real hierarchy — which is the only way to tell
an artist folder from an album folder — was invisible.
The shape is now derived once, at ingest, in the sidecar: buildTree() links
each path to its parent, synthesizes any ancestor slskd omitted (measured:
exactly one missing across ~30k folders on two real peers, but a single gap
would strand a whole subtree), and rolls subtree file counts and sizes up
bottom-up. A parent's own files are usually just cover art, so the number
worth showing on a collapsed row is the subtree's.
Storing the shape rather than recomputing it is what lets the UI open one
level at a time. Levels are still paged, because fan-out is brutal — the
widest folder measured has 1,181 children.
Filtering keeps the tree instead of falling back to a list: the search route
returns matches plus every ancestor, and the UI renders that skeleton
pre-expanded, so you see where a hit lives. Matching runs against the whole
path, so a matched folder implies its descendants match too and a matched
subtree arrives complete. The match cap is reported in the payload and shown
in the UI rather than passed off as the whole answer.
The two existing snapshots were backfilled by scripts/rebuild-soulseek-tree.ts,
which runs the same buildTree + finishSoulseekBrowse the ingest path runs — no
second implementation to drift, and no peer contact needed. Kept for the next
time the tree shape changes.

Probing the live routes turned up that /browse/<peer>/dirs/<id>/files only checked
the owner, not the peer: dir ids are global, so asking for one peer's folder id
under a different peer's name returned the other peer's files with a 200. The UI
always sends a matching pair so nothing misbehaved, but the URL was asserting a
relationship the query never verified — a mismatched or stale request would show
the wrong peer's contents rather than a 404.

Browsing a peer inline could never work. slskd answers GET /users/{u}/browse with
the entire tree in one blocking response — measured at 59 MB / 18k folders / 284k
files for a single real peer — and it takes minutes because it round-trips to that
peer. The browser was made to wait for that, so navigating away threw the whole
thing out and the panel showed an error more often than a tree.
So the fetch moves into the sidecar and the result into Postgres. Clicking "fetch
shares" returns 202 and the job keeps running without the tab; the UI polls the
snapshot row and reads back pages. Folders are rows and files ride along as jsonb
on their folder, because folders are what you filter and page through while files
are only ever read for the one folder you opened — a row per file would be 284k
rows per peer for no gain.
A failed or in-flight refresh deliberately leaves the previous folders in place: a
peer going offline shouldn't cost you a good cache, so the panel drives off rows
existing rather than off status. Interrupted 'pending' snapshots are failed at
sidecar boot, since the job died with the process and would otherwise spin forever.

slskd has no favorites or buddy-list concept — 0.26.0's UsersController exposes
only endpoint/browse/directory/info/status — so Officer owns that data itself:
a soulseek_favorites table served by the slskd sidecar under a /_officer/*
namespace, which can never collide with slskd's /api/v0/*. The main server
gains exactly one line, injecting X-Officer-User on the proxy hop, so it stays
a thin auth proxy and grows no Soulseek logic. The route is handled before the
upstream check, so favorites keep working with slskd down.
Usernames in search results and downloads become a dropdown (browse shares,
toggle favorite). Browsing publishes to a nonce-stamped, consumed-once channel
so the Users section looks the peer up without re-running the expensive browse
on every remount, and favorites get their own section at the top of that panel,
which doubles as its landing content. CardHeader had to split its toggle row to
host the dropdown, since a trigger can't live inside the collapse button.
The schema file is deliberately self-contained so it can move wholesale into
the sidecar directory when sidecars start owning their own schema. Its DDL was
applied by hand, matching drizzle's constraint naming, rather than running a
whole-schema push.

Add officer-slskd, a singleton sidecar that reverse-proxies to a
self-hosted slskd (Soulseek) instance and reports its loopback port to
the API on connect. All slskd knowledge (URL + API key) lives in the
sidecar; the platform is a thin auth+forward proxy for /api/slskd/* and
holds no slskd credentials. Mirrors the officer-vault pattern.
