pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e867fe72af notify one named account — and unshadow /broadcast, which never worked
"can you send a notification to George" had no answer. an agent key reaches its
own holder and nothing else, and the only route that spoke about somebody else
sent to EVERYONE. so the choice was the whole household or nobody.

POST /api/notify/user, ownerOnly, same authority and same reasoning as
/broadcast: everything else under this permission acts on the account asking, and
reaching another person's phone is administration however few phones it is. it
returns the target's email so the caller can see who was reached rather than
trusting an id they typed, and 404s an unknown account rather than letting the
sidecar's silence read as delivery.

AND THE PART THAT MATTERS MORE. /broadcast has answered 404 since the day it
landed. `createSidecarProxy` mounts `router.all('/*')` when it is CREATED, and
hono matches in registration order — so every route added to the proxy's own
router afterwards was forwarded to the sidecar, which has never heard of it.
three days, on a route whose entire purpose was to stop people POSTing to the
sidecar's ephemeral port by hand. a shadowed route does not fail like a missing
one; it fails like a sidecar that has not implemented it, so the 404 reads as
somebody else's problem.

caldav's router learned this on 2026-08-21 and wrote it down. this file now does
the same thing in the same words: the platform's own routes first, the catch-all
proxy mounted LAST.

verified: /broadcast now answers 400 to an empty body where it answered 404
before, /user delivers and reports the address, /_officer/devices still forwards.

found while trying to reach around the notify sidecar's producer secret to do
this by hand — which is exactly what that secret was added to stop, and the
comment above it says so. it stopped me. the route is the way.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 52f209c69f caldav leaves the platform
calendar and contacts are a plugin now — plugins/caldav, its own repository like
every other one. a fresh machine runs five processes instead of seven and gets a
calendar by installing one plugin, which is the whole point: the platform stops
carrying a python calendar server for people who may not want one.

what left: the radicale sidecar, four routers, the panel apps, the
dav_app_passwords table, the two screens, the two dock tiles, the permission
registry entry, the settings section, and radicale from every package list.

three platform things had to change first, each committed on its own:
6b5c87da a plugin can be more than one screen; e0df28ff a first-party plugin can
claim a reserved root path. this commit adds the third, `personal` on a plugin
permission — a member granted READ must still mint and revoke their own app
password, because that password is how their own phone reaches their own
calendar. those rows are theirs and nobody else's.

two fixes the work surfaced rather than caused. the dock pinned mountPrefix, so
a multi-screen plugin pinned a tile pointing at /caldav — a route no plugin
serves. and the OPTIONS carve-out was a literal list of four DAV paths; it asks
the claim registry now, so it follows whoever owns the route.

/calendar stays in DEFAULT_DOCK_PATHS. it is installed by default and a fresh
dock that silently dropped it would read as a downgrade.

docs:check earned its keep twice here: it caught spotlight still offering
/settings/integrations/dav-app-passwords after the section was deleted, and the
permission count going 22 -> 21. neither is greppable and both were already wrong
when it ran.

verified against alpha, which is still on the pre-extraction code: /.well-known/
caldav 301s, /dav/ answers 401 with the same WWW-Authenticate realm byte for
byte, /api/caldav/passwords 401s, and OPTIONS reaches the DAV router rather than
being answered as a CORS preflight. installed here end to end — schema applied,
sidecar started, two tiles with their own artwork behind one permission.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 de538cfc1b /bots — one sentence arms a watch
a bot is a chat whose working directory is bots/, armed through the background
job any chat can already arm. no scheduler was written and none was needed:
handoff already means "poll cheaply, wake the agent only when it fires", which
is the expensive half of a commander without any of its ceremony.

ONE directory, not one per bot. a commander earns its own because it is a job
with procedures and a ledger; a bot is a sentence and a watch, and a directory
each would mean a creation step before anything can be said. sharing it makes
the list free — every bot is a chat in that cwd, so the header's picker is the
list of bots.

it earns NO permission of its own. /bots rides `chat`, because a bot adds no
surface: same routes, same socket, same confinement. the registry says so
rather than leaving the next reader to wonder.

the brief is the feature. it tells the agent to arm on the FIRST message and
not interview — pick a sensible interval, arm, say what you armed in one line,
and let the owner correct it, which is cheaper for them than three questions.
it says the owner will never say "notify" or "nudge" and must not have to. it
forbids the loop that wakes on a timer to look for itself, which is the
expensive mistake available here. and it draws the line: a bot watches and
tells, it does not fix — a request for work is a commander, say so and stop.

bots joins commanders and plugins in confineUserTree, third time: a member's
bot runs as the member and a 700 service-user directory kills the turn on its
own cwd.

pastilhasandClaude Fable 5 420cd07507 /todos: a kanban board over the todo/ tree, owner-only
The filesystem is the database: GET reads the tree through the same module the
index generator now imports, PATCH splices frontmatter (status, priority, due,
order) and never touches a body byte, and every write regenerates TODO.md.
Columns open/doing/blocked/done, native drag between them, selection and theme
filter in the URL. Registry entry 'todos' (kind admin, 22 entries, docs:check
green), isSuperAdmin double-gate on the router.

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

two changes.

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 16d02ffee1 notify is core, not grantable
it was an `app` permission and nothing granted it, so every Member's app
got a 403 the moment it tried to register its own push token — silently, at
launch, with no notification ever arriving and nothing saying why. four
member accounts on alpha, none of them able to receive anything. invisible
for days because the owner bypasses the check.

the grant was not what was missing. these are the caller's OWN devices, and
the send route takes its target from the authenticated header rather than
the body (resolve-user.ts), so an account can only ever reach its own
phone. "you may not subscribe to your own notifications" is not a coherent
thing to configure.

6 core, 3 app now. docs:check holds the count and the generated platform
skill was regenerated with it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 12a9605b01 a commander's bound is a rule, not a list
the allow list shipped an hour ago was a snapshot. plugin permissions
register at mount, so a plugin installed after a commander was created was
missing from its list and failed as a bare 403 with nothing saying why —
and every future thing a commander is meant to do is exactly that shape:
notify a device, send mail, spawn a sub-agent, hand a transcription to an
idle one, reach a plugin that does not exist yet.

so a credential now narrows two ways, and both only subtract:

  permissions   an ALLOW list. exact, a snapshot. right for a credential
                with one job.
  excludedKinds kinds it may never reach, resolved against the LIVE
                registry on every request. right for a credential whose
                job is open-ended.

a commander gets the second: every kind except admin. bounded away from
installing plugins, managing users and roles and changing server settings,
forever — and open to everything the platform learns to do, with nothing
to re-issue. still intersected with the account, so for a member it
narrows itself against their role.

verified against the running server with a commander-shaped key: tasks,
notify, file-browser and the transcribe PLUGIN all reach their routes;
/api/users, /api/plugins and /api/roles are 403. the plugin case is the
one an allow list could not have passed — it was mounted long after any
key was minted.

the commander's CLAUDE.md says what it cannot do in the rule's own terms,
and that a 403 is an answer rather than a problem to route around.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e29a4ee380 a credential can be narrower than its holder
a commander is an agent working unattended for months, and the only
credential in the tree lived in the MCP tool server's environment where
the agent's own shell cannot see it. so the first one built here curled
the whisper container directly on localhost: right answer, wrong door, and
a door the platform does not control.

api_keys.permissions. null is what every key a human minted still is —
their full authority, exactly what the password that made it could do. a
list narrows: the credential reaches only those permission keys, and still
only where the account itself could. intersection, never union.

checked BEFORE the owner bypass, which is the whole point. a Super Admin
consults no grants table, so a token carrying the owner's identity is
unbounded by construction — fine for a browser session somebody is sitting
in front of, not fine for a process that runs for months. this is the only
thing in the platform that can bound them. verified against the running
server: an owner key scoped to [account] gets 200 on /api/user/settings
and 403 on /api/users, /api/tasks and /api/plugins.

it propagates. a narrowed credential can write a task and run it, so the
token buildTaskApiEnv hands that script carries the same narrowing —
otherwise the script comes back through the API with full authority and
the limit bought nothing. the gate stashes it on the request for the one
kind of route that passes authority onward.

POST /tasks/:name/run: runs a script task, waits, returns code and output.
both existing runners need something watching them — the socket needs a
live connection, a job needs somebody to open Jobs. a commander has
neither. deliberately not a job: transcribing a memo takes seconds and
produces a file, and a queue plus a row plus a progress bar is a screen
nobody opened between the request and the result.

script-run.ts is the third thing this needed and the one worth having on
its own. the socket runner, the job runner and now this each carried the
same twenty lines — materialize, INPUT_ env, positional args, resolve cwd,
mint the api env — identical, with nothing saying they had to stay that
way. they differ in how they REPORT, which is real and stays with each of
them. what the script SEES is now decided once.

a commander gets its key at creation, in officer.env at 0600 inside its own
directory, and CLAUDE.md tells it where and says plainly that a sidecar
listening on localhost with no auth is still the wrong door. a file rather
than an env var because the detached loop a commander arms is spawned by
the agent and inherits nothing the platform chose. deleting the commander
revokes the row — the directory removal takes the secret, not the thing
that makes it work.

default scope is everything except `admin`: a commander that can reach
nothing gets widened in a hurry rather than thought about, and installing
plugins, managing users and changing server settings are never part of a
watcher's job. it is a default, stored per key, and for a member it
narrows itself against their role.

also fixed: POST /command-hq/commanders/new never awaited
createCommanderDirectory, so a turn could spawn before its CLAUDE.md
existed — the exact ordering that redesign was for — and the cwd it
returned was a Promise serialising as {}.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e35ff5c7ad stt leaves the platform for the transcribe plugin
Speech-to-text is now plugins/transcribe — sidecar, its own config, its own
skill and a task for the file browser's context menu. The transcription logic
moved BYTE FOR BYTE: 416 lines whose every decision has a reason attached, from
the two-pass detect-then-transcribe to the 25 language priming prompts to
timeout:false. Verified identical rather than assumed.

Removed here: api/stt/, server-settings/stt.ts and its mount, POST /chat/stt,
POST /file-browser/transcribe, the FileViewer handler behind the button hidden
last release, the Settings screen, the dead useAudioRecording hook and the
orphaned locale keys across all six locales.

blobToWav stayed. It lived in the same file as the dead hook and is still used
by DictateDialog — unrelated to STT, and deleting by file rather than by use is
how that would have gone.

No permission entry to remove: STT never had one, living under server-admin,
chat and files. The registry count is unchanged and docs:check is green.

The plugin ships a task that will not appear in the menu yet — the platform
loads a plugin's skills, affordances and notifications from its own directory
but not its tasks. That loader is the remaining piece of docs/plugin-capabilities.md
and is deliberately not built here.

1426 pass, tsgo clean, 18 plugins discovered with none broken.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fbdfd3fb89 minesweeper leaves the platform; plugin sockets relay ws-to-ws
Minesweeper is now plugins/minesweeper (gitea.officer.dev/plugins/minesweeper).
Removes /api/minesweeper, the Dashboard screen, the officerdev panel, the
permission registry entry, the App.tsx route and the hand-written websocket
provider in server.tsx. Registry entries: 22 -> 21, execution 4 -> 3.

The relay changed transport, and that is the part worth reading.

A sidecar announces exactly one port. That single announcement is the whole
provenance argument in target.ts — the platform watched the port arrive at
registration, which is the only thing separating it from a number a manifest
asserted. But a raw-TCP relay requires that port to BE a raw TCP listener, so
the sidecar cannot also serve HTTP on it, and the plugin's ordinary routes
have to fall back to the typed command vocabulary over the registration
socket. That is the mechanism the fleet has spent months retiring, and
Minesweeper would have been the first thing to go back to it.

Relaying websocket-to-websocket dissolves the conflict. The sidecar serves
HTTP and /ws on the one port it announced, exactly as the pty sidecar already
does; createSidecarProxy handles the HTTP half; and the conversion from frames
to whatever the plugin actually speaks happens inside the plugin, which is the
only process that knows. The relay is still ignorant of the payload — the
ignorance sits one layer up.

Also: the caller's JWT is no longer forwarded upstream. A sidecar has no use
for it and forwarding one puts a bearer token into whatever that process logs.
X-Officer-User carries the only part it needs. (The terminal relay still
forwards its token to the pty sidecar; not touched here.)

Verified: bunx tsgo clean, bun test 1403 pass / 0 fail, bun run docs:check
green.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 eba0e86758 a plugin can serve a websocket
Bun's route table is fixed at serve() and WS_ROUTES is read once before it, so a
plugin installed afterwards could never add a socket route. That was a hard
ceiling, not a preference: /minesweeper had to live in the platform and
plugins/desktop could not stream a display at all.

The way out was already in the tree and had one consumer. dev-proxy serves a socket
with no WS_ROUTES entry, through a WILDCARD route whose handler calls
server.upgrade itself. Nothing has to become dynamic, because a plugin name is a
path segment rather than a route — one wildcard declared at boot serves every
plugin that will ever be installed.

Authorisation is the PLUGIN's own capability, asked as if the socket were a GET
against its HTTP prefix. That is the safety argument: there is no second permission
to grant, forget, or drift, so granting a plugin grants its socket and revoking it
closes it. It is also why plugin-ws is exempt from the boot totality check rather
than carrying a registry entry — one entry covering every plugin's socket would
mean granting one plugin granted them all.

A target is a TCP address and never a URL, which keeps the relay ignorant of what
it carries. That ignorance is the only reason one relay can serve an RFB display
and a line-oriented sidecar. Loopback only and not configurable: a plugin naming an
arbitrary host would be a request-forgery primitive handed to every plugin author.

sidecarPort() is new because createSidecarProxy learned announced ports per-proxy
and that state was unreachable from anywhere else — a second subscription would
have been a second thing to keep in step.

Verified: boots past the totality gate, and both an existing and a non-existent
plugin refuse 401 before revealing which. NOT yet verified: that it relays a byte.
Minesweeper is about to be the first caller, which is what proves it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 04c1a6bfc9 role CRUD, with a guard the spec did not ask for
Phase 2 part 3 of docs/roles-and-teams.md. Create, rename and delete, each
returning a discriminated result rather than throwing, so a router can say which
rule refused and why instead of parsing an error string. Written by a Sonnet
subagent against the plan; reviewed, exercised against the live database, and
amended here.

The amendment is the reason a review was worth doing. renameRole changes
roles.name, and there is no foreign key yet — part 2 ships ON UPDATE CASCADE as
its own release — so a rename would leave every holder pointing at a name that no
longer exists. It is unreachable today only by accident: manage-users.ts validates
against the USER_ROLES union, so a runtime-created role cannot be assigned and a
non-system role has no holders. That evaporates the moment part 4 makes UserRole a
plain string, and parts 2 and 4 could land in either order.

So rename now refuses while anybody holds it, sharing one holder-count definition
with delete so the two cannot disagree about what "in use" means. It comes out when
the cascade lands, and then the cascade does the job properly by moving holders
rather than refusing.

Adding that reason made the router's switch non-exhaustive, which the typechecker
caught — the discriminated-result shape earning its keep on its first change.

System roles refuse both rename and delete: the platform's own code names them by
string, so renaming one is a code change that has not happened. Delete never
reassigns holders to a fallback, because that is a permission change nobody asked
for.

Exercised end to end: duplicate, empty name, system rename, system delete, a real
rename, a rename onto an existing name, delete, and delete of something absent.
The four seeded roles survive with the owner counted against Super Admin.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 66234cd3e0 an endpoint for spawning an agent, so a caller that is not a chat can
A chat agent already has a way to start a worker — the harness gives it one.
Nothing else does. A watcher loop, a plugin, a background job, a cron entry: none
can reach that tool, which is exactly why a commander's loop shells out to
`claude -p` by hand and then invents its own record-keeping for what it started.

So this is the door Officer defines. `POST /sub-agents/spawn` takes a prompt and an
optional cwd and model, and returns either the session key immediately or the
result if asked to wait. Verified both ways against the live server: the
synchronous call came back with the four words it was told to say, and the async
call returned in milliseconds and the agent had written its file within five
seconds.

The budget check comes BEFORE the spawn, and refuses with a 429 naming the window.
The windows belong to the Anthropic account and every `claude` on the machine
spends them, so an endpoint that could start work without asking would burn the
last of one and cut off the turn the owner is sitting in — a failure that lands on
somebody else's conversation, which is the worst place for it.

`confined`, and confined in FACT on the day it was added rather than ahead of
itself — the registry test's comment records that `chat` sat on that list for a day
before it was true. The identity comes from `chatIdentity` on the caller's token
and `member: { osUser, home }` goes to the sidecar, which is the mechanism chat
already runs under. There is no path in the endpoint that chooses a directory, so
there is nothing for a caller to point elsewhere. `member` is passed explicitly
because it is required-but-may-be-undefined on purpose: optional let a call site
forget it, and forgetting means a member's agent running as the owner.

Not a queue, not a supervisor, not a retry. One call starts one agent; a caller
that wants three tries writes three calls, because a retry in here would be a
policy nobody chose applied to work this endpoint cannot read.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b94a5e90b8 SendOff — a file lands in a real directory in the recipient's own tree
Implements docs/sendoff.md's v2: a folder convention, one endpoint and a push.
No staging area, no transfer table, no ack, nothing to expire. Every account
already has a home, a file browser over it and a Files app on the phone, so a
delivered file is an ordinary file from the moment it arrives.

`Documents/SendOff/<machine>/` for something you sent yourself, and
`Documents/SendOff/<sender>/` for another account's files. The home is the one
that account actually browses — the owner's real login home, a member's managed
home — because the two are different directories and writing to the wrong one
makes a delivery invisible rather than wrong.

CONSENT IS THE RECIPIENT'S, held as a row per pair. Not a role grant: a grant
answers "may this role send files", and the person who should decide whether
somebody may write into your home is you. Absence denies, and a sender who was
not allowed does not see the recipient in their picker at all — the endpoint
answers 404 for "no such account" and for "did not allow you" alike, so it cannot
be used to enumerate accounts. The owner bypasses this as a SENDER only; receiving
still needs their say-so.

The sender's folder name comes from the token and never from the payload, so it
cannot lie about who put a file there. Names are sanitised to one path segment and
filenames to their basename — verified: `../../../../etc` becomes a literal
folder, and a filename of `../../../../tmp/pwned.txt` writes `pwned.txt` inside
the target. Collisions suffix ` (1)`; nothing is ever overwritten, because the
sender cannot see the directory and would have no way to know.

The push carries the folder name and a file count, and the catalogue renders
"3 file(s) from andre" on the device. That relaxes "content does not travel" by a
folder name and an integer — the owner's call, on the grounds that the file never
leaves the tailnet and a notification nobody can act on is not worth sending. A
filename would be content; whose folder it is, is addressing.

`kind: 'app'` rather than `confined` even though it writes into a home: the path
is one fixed shape chosen by the server from the caller's token, so there is
nothing to traverse and nothing to read back. Requiring a Linux user would mean an
account without one could not be sent a file, which is most of the point.

Backend and verified end to end. The web send form is next.

pastilhasandClaude Fable 5 af918251d3 /minesweeper — a wine session streamed to the browser over RFB
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.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 bd15a186b5 themes: rotate to the one you are wearing, star the ones you like
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.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a15fadbddc 27 tests on the file standing between a member and a shell
authorize.ts had none, and its own header is what says why that mattered: every deny path in the platform
ends there, and the failure mode of a permissive default is not a bug report, it is someone else's session.

It had none for a structural reason rather than an oversight. Every path needed two database calls, and the
only file here that mocks officerdb leaks its stub into whatever runs after it — so the obvious approach
would have traded one untested file for a flaky suite.

So the decisions are split from the fetching. resolveEffectivePermissions, decideApiRequest and
decideWsProvider are pure functions of their arguments; the async wrappers keep the role cache, the
fail-closed catches and the shape callers use. No behaviour change, and the live gate still answers 401 on
file-browser, users and tasks.

REAL registry keys throughout, deliberately: a suite built on invented permissions keeps passing after a
rename, which is the failure an authorization table can least afford. If a key here disappears this file
goes red.

Pinned beyond the happy paths — the owner carries no grants to consult; core is write unconditionally; a
confined grant is dropped without a Linux user and all three drop together; execution and admin grants in
the table are ignored even though no CHECK stops the row existing; an unknown key is ignored without
disturbing what is legitimately held; self-service is exact in method AND path; a socket needs no level; an
unauthenticated caller is refused every door.

Two gaps are stated in the file rather than left to be found: ownerOnly has no declaring permission yet, so
testing it would test the fixtures; and the grant cache's contract is a claim about call sites, not logic.

Found while writing them: readOnlyWrites paths are relative to the permission's api prefix, and getting that
wrong fails as "no permission covers this path" rather than as a level error — a misleading message for a
misleading path, now commented at the test that hit it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8917f36be5 /login works in the chat window
Officer authenticates claude with a Claude SUBSCRIPTION over OAuth, and that is a browser round trip: open
a URL, authorise, paste a code back. It was the one part of running an agent a browser-only user could not
do from the browser — the answer was "open a terminal panel and drive the CLI by hand", which works, and is
a strange thing to ask of somebody whose entire session is a web page.

It needs no pty. `claude auth login` behaves identically through plain pipes, verified by capturing its raw
bytes, so this is an ordinary subprocess with two reads and one write: spawn, read until the URL, wait for
the person, write the code to stdin.

The parsing is the only non-obvious part. The CLI wraps the URL in an OSC-8 hyperlink escape AND prints it
again as visible text, so `https://\S+` returns two URLs concatenated with no separator between them.
Stripping the escape wrappers first leaves exactly one. Written against captured bytes rather than against
what the terminal appeared to show.

Three decisions worth keeping:

NOT under /auth. totality.ts exempts that prefix from the permission gate entirely, and correctly — it is
where a caller goes to BECOME authenticated. Mounted there, an unauthenticated POST could have started a
login as the owner. Verified after moving it: unauthenticated POST /api/claude-auth is 401.

On the `chat` grant rather than its own. The pairing is exact: an account that may use the agent must be
able to authenticate the agent, and an account that may not has nothing to authenticate. `confined` then
carries the rest for free — authorize.ts drops a confined grant for an account with no osUser, which is
precisely the account that cannot hold credentials of its own.

Nothing Anthropic-shaped is inherited by the child. For the owner those variables point at the local proxy,
whose whole job is swapping a shared secret for the owner's bearer token — handing them to a login is how
you get a success that authenticates nothing. A member's login runs through setpriv --reset-env as their own
Linux user, into their own home, because their turns bill their own subscription and that only holds if the
credential is theirs.

Pending logins are in memory on purpose: one is worthless once the process holding its PKCE verifier dies,
so persisting it would store a row that can only ever be stale. Ten-minute reaper, one per account, and the
dialog abandons its own on close so a dismissed dialog does not leave claude parked on a read of stdin.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e44c0c7665 the browser relay leaves, and /scrape stops pretending to be it
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhas 5cba1b65a6 notify: only "the app is gone" deletes a device row
reported from the field on the first real push: it failed with BadDeviceToken
and the server deleted the registration. the build was production-signed and
the row said sandbox — a configuration mismatch, with the device and the app
both perfectly fine.

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhas ab94a3a510 notify: a member could list their phones but not register one
`personal` is matched against what remains after the permission's own prefix
is stripped, so the entries had to be the sidecar's real paths. they were
written '/devices' and '/subscriptions'; the sidecar serves '/_officer/devices'.
nothing matched, so read level permitted the GET (a safe method, allowed
anyway) and refused the POST and the DELETE — a member could see their
registered devices and neither add nor remove one.

that is the exact opposite of the comment sitting above it, which says device
registration is the caller's own. invisible so far because the owner
short-circuits every check and no member has ever been granted notify.

found while writing the app-side spec: the mobile client posts to
/api/notify/_officer/devices, which is what made the mismatch visible.

the regression test pins the real path and fails against the old value —
checked, not assumed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 9c309c5ab6 calendar and contacts are core again, with radicale as a plain sidecar
Reverses the 2026-08-13 decision to make caldav an app-store entry. Three
reasons it does not belong there.

It is not an integration. Photos-via-Immich or torrents-via-Transmission assume
you already run the thing; a calendar assumes nothing, and a personal server
without one is missing a baseline rather than an optional app.

It needs TWO top-level routes, /calendar and /contacts, and a plugin gets one —
derived from its appName, which is what makes it structurally impossible for a
plugin to shadow a core route. Nobody thinks "I'll open my dav", so collapsing
them under /dav was the wrong trade, and weakening the namespace guarantee to
allow two was a worse one. As core routes the question does not arise.

And it never actually needed Docker. Radicale is a ~2MB Python package;
sidecar/caldav/radicale.ts already spawns it directly on loopback with
http_x_remote_user. The container came from the app store making everything a
container, not from anything Radicale requires.

So: the routers are mounted again (/caldav for the UI's JSON door, /dav for app
passwords, the top-level /dav sync door and the two .well-known redirects),
officer-caldav joins CORE_PROCESSES, radicale joins the machine-setup package
list for all four package managers, and the catalogue entry is gone.

members.test.ts re-anchored a fifth time — caldav was one of two `accounts`
services and memos is now the last. Noted in the test that the sixth time
should be a literal fixture instead.

Verified: assertPermissionTotality accepts /caldav and /dav, tsgo clean,
1085 pass. NOT yet verified against a real client — radicale is not installed
on this machine.

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 ee321f49fd refuse a plugin install whose permission key the platform still claims
Three times in one day — photos, soulseek, jellyfin — the same failure on the
same machine: install reports success, the dock tile appears, the frontend
rebuilds with the route in it, and every request 404s. The plugin never mounted,
because setPluginPermissions refused its key as already core.

That refusal was correct and useless. It happens at mount time, after the
install has reported success, and its only trace is one line on stderr that
nobody is reading. The cause is always the same: the key was a CORE permission
until the extraction commit, so a server whose platform predates that commit
still owns it. The fix is always git pull, and nothing in the product said so.

installPlugin now checks the manifest's keys against the core registry before
anything is written, and refuses with a message naming the colliding keys and
telling the operator to pull the platform and restart. Placed with the other
pre-flight checks, so it changes nothing that would need undoing.

corePermissionCollisions is exported from the registry rather than reimplemented
in install.ts — the core key set has one owner.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 aebd6ff0c0 jellyfin, extracted into plugins/jellyfin — the platform half
Eighth extraction, second resurrection. Same shape as soulseek: hono.ts had the
router import and its PROTECTED_MOUNTS entry commented out since 2026-08-13 and
the permission reduced to api: [], so assertPermissionTotality was satisfied,
the server booted clean, and every panel request 404'd. Also closes the same
data hazard — jellyfin_servers was absent from the drizzle barrel, so bun
db:push would have dropped it.

No frontend call site needed repointing: mountPrefix derives /jellyfin from the
appName, which is what the router already hardcoded.

Test fixtures fixed properly rather than re-anchored again. Extracting jellyfin
broke 18 tests, the FOURTH extraction in a row to break the same files — photos
and transmission yesterday, slskd an hour ago, jellyfin now. installer.test.ts
now builds literal CatalogueEntry fixtures and asks the catalogue nothing: it
pins planSteps and runInstall, which are installer logic, and a service leaving
for plugins/ says nothing about whether the installer still plans the right
steps. catalogue.test.ts stays the place real entries are checked well-formed.
members/catalogue/preflight re-anchored to memos, which has jellyfin's exact
shape.

The .prettierignore rule for the vendored hls.mjs moved into the plugin rather
than being left behind naming a deleted path.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──

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

── Vocabulary swept, per the runbook ──

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

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

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

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

── Test fixtures, repointed rather than deleted ──

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 5e4f3fe29f fix all seven failing tests — every one was a stale assertion, not a live bug
The suite has been carried at "1038 pass / 7 fail, same as baseline" for long
enough that the count became the thing being checked instead of the tests. All
seven turned out to pin a contract that changed on 2026-08-13, when a batch of
features were switched off pending plugin extraction. None was a defect in
running code; two were tests that could no longer detect what they were written
to detect.

── Five in registry.test.ts, one root cause ──

Switching a feature off comments out its `api:` line but keeps the permission
(the frontend route still needs gating, and existing role grants have to keep
meaning something). Eleven permissions therefore declare no API prefix now.

  • `REAL_WS` still listed 'desktop', which server.tsx stopped serving. The
    file's own header says it mirrors that map by hand and that this is "the
    drift this file keeps catching" — it caught it, and the failure was read as
    baseline for five days.
  • 'refuses a claim on a router that no longer exists' withdrew /gitea, which
    claims nothing any more, so nothing threw. The test could not fail for the
    right reason OR pass. Re-pointed at /tasks, which is core and mounted.
  • Two path→permission tests asserted /api/gitea and /api/caldav resolve.
    Re-pointed at /tasks and at /user vs /users — the latter is a live overlap
    AND a real privilege boundary (resolving /api/users to 'account' would hand
    the ordinary-account permission the user-administration API), where the old
    /dav vs /caldav pair mapped to one permission and never showed the property.
  • 'every permission declares at least one api prefix' stopped being true by
    design. Replaced with what it was protecting — a permission must gate
    SOMETHING reachable, api or route, since one gating nothing can be granted
    and revoked to no effect while reading as a control. `notify` is named as
    the one genuine exception rather than silently tolerated: no API, and no
    screen by design.

── plugins/music/cliamp: a real ordering fix, pushed separately ──

openPlayer checked for the cliamp binary BEFORE validating the path, so a path
escaping the owner's home answered "cliamp not found on host" on any machine
without it. Fixed there (3f4ee82): validate the request, then inspect the host.

── The pty timeout: an env var that had done nothing for five days ──

The test pinned `HOME_DIR: '/tmp'`. `HOME_DIR` was removed from the platform on
2026-08-13 when the install root became derived, and sessions.mjs resolves `~`
with node's `homedir()` — which reads `$HOME`. So the shell opened in the real
home, `pwd` never printed /tmp, and the test spent its full 15s timeout waiting
for output that could not arrive. One character class of a rename, five days
ago, costing 15s of every suite run since.

1044 pass, 0 fail, 85 files (unchanged). Suite is ~15s quicker for the obvious
reason.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

── Tests ──

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 eb94af87f4 command hq: the api, mounted and documented
full REST surface for categories, tags and commanders. core permission
(personal: ['/'], no grant to hold — every query is scoped to the caller's
own user_id at the sql layer regardless). registered in the permission
registry and PROTECTED_MOUNTS together, so totality holds by construction.

GET /commanders is the grid endpoint: everything /chat/sessions already
returns per session, plus categoryId/tagIds/running. `running` is derived
live off collectRunningTasks (now exported from websocket.ts) folded over
chat_session_events — not a stored column, on purpose, matching the design
doc's stance that a status field would go stale exactly when a sidecar
restart silently kills a watcher.

GET /commanders/:sessionId deliberately does NOT duplicate the transcript —
that stays GET /chat/sessions/:id, unchanged. a client calls both.

/chat/sessions now excludes anything filed as a commander (listCommandHqSessionIds,
.catch()'d so a hiccup on this feature can't take the whole chat list down)
— the other half of the one predicate this whole design turns on.

there is deliberately no POST /commanders/new: creation is an ordinary chat
turn in the commanders directory, which is the next commit.

docs/command-hq.md gains an API reference table for the mobile dev, and a
status line at the top saying plainly what is real and what is not yet:
needs `bun db:push` before any route returns real data, frontend not
started.

bunx tsgo clean. suite at baseline (same 7 pre-existing failures, all
registry/totality drift and the pty socket test — none touch this router).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0d29e242a3 themes are installable, like plugins
`platform/themes/<id>/` — untracked, same rule as `plugins/`, only the instructions
tracked. Drop a directory in and the theme appears in the picker on the next page load.

  themes/my-theme/theme.css     required — `[data-theme='my-theme'] { … }`
  themes/my-theme/theme.json    required — { name, family, dark }
  themes/my-theme/assets/       optional — wallpaper, logo

── Why this is cheaper than installing a plugin ──

A plugin is code: it needs a manifest module, mounting, and a frontend rebuild to reach
the bundler. A theme is a block of CSS custom properties, so it needs none of that. The
server reads the directory at request time and the client adds a `<link>`. No install
step, no rebuild, no restart — which is the whole reason this is eighty lines of
discovery rather than four hundred.

The id is the DIRECTORY NAME, not a manifest field, for the same reason a plugin's
`appName` is not one: an id that can disagree with where its files sit eventually will.
Discovery checks that the CSS actually targets its own directory name, because the
failure is otherwise silent — the theme appears, is selected, and nothing changes.

── Problems are reported, not swallowed ──

A malformed theme returns a reason rather than vanishing:

  broken-probe: theme.css does not target [data-theme='broken-probe']

The client logs those, so an author has somewhere to look instead of wondering why
their theme never appeared.

── Boundaries kept ──

The `theme` package still performs no IO. It gained an `extraThemes` prop; Officer
fetches and injects, exactly as it supplies the panel registry to `workspaces`. A
failure to fetch is not an error — no server, no session, no directory all mean "you get
the built-in themes", which is a complete product.

`/api/themes` is a `core` capability: read-only, and not deniable, because an account
that cannot read the theme list renders unstyled. Installing remains a directory on
disk; an upload endpoint would be a way to write arbitrary CSS into the page from a
request.

Verified in-process: listing, the problem report, CSS served as text/css, and a
traversal attempt answered 404.

── Needs a restart ──

Server-side change. Until then the client's fetch 404s and silently keeps the built-ins,
so nothing breaks in the meantime.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7d64b0a0d6 paste localhost:3000 into the preview and see the server's port
No proxy host, no certificate, no port opened. `/api/dev-proxy/5173/…` forwards to
`http://127.0.0.1:5173/…` over the platform's own origin, and the panel maps what
you type onto it.

── Why a proxy at all, when the ask was "just point at localhost" ──

Neither direct route works from a browser on https://<platform>.
`http://localhost:5173` resolves on the VIEWER's machine, not the server's, and
`http://<server>:5173` is mixed content inside an https page and is blocked before
it is even attempted. Both fail looking exactly like the dev server being down. The
bytes have to arrive over an origin the page already trusts, which is the platform.

A dev server can therefore stay bound to 127.0.0.1. The workflow this replaces —
one NPM proxy host per app — needs it on 0.0.0.0 plus a firewall rule for the
docker bridge, so this is both less setup and less exposure.

── What came back from `188b45c1^`, and what did not ──

The 46-line HTML/asset rewrite, which is the hard-won part: absolute paths in the
document, plus an injected script that intercepts fetch/XHR/WebSocket for the URLs
built at runtime. Its JWT injection is deleted — those apps called the PLATFORM's
API; a dev server proxied here talks to itself, and handing its process the owner's
bearer token would be giving credentials to whatever is on that port.

The other 314 lines are not back: spawning, port discovery, idle timers, log
collection, a proxyId registry. The port is the id, and the background-job button
already starts dev servers.

── HMR is bridged, because "see it" without "follow it" is half the feature ──

The injected script rewrites the dev server's socket under the prefix; the relay
dials `ws://127.0.0.1:<port>` and forwards frames both ways. Same shape as the vault
relay including the non-obvious part — state registered synchronously and frames
queued until the upstream opens, because Bun requires the upgrade to be synchronous
and an HMR client speaks immediately. An upstream close closes the client, which is
what makes a dev-server restart reconnect by itself.

── Access, which was not in the ask and is not optional ──

This route reaches any loopback port on the machine, on a host that answers from the
public internet. An iframe cannot carry a bearer token — it is a navigation — so the
panel puts it in the URL once, the proxy verifies it is the OWNER through
`resolveAuthToken`, and issues a short-lived cookie every sub-resource then carries.
Anonymous and non-owner requests get 401, verified. Owner-only rather than a
permission: reading an arbitrary loopback port is the `execution` power the registry
says can never be granted.

Both exemptions are registered with reasons, and the boot check earned its keep —
it refused to start until the socket provider was claimed too.

── Verified against a real loopback-only server ──

Confirmed unreachable from outside, then through the proxy: index served and
rewritten, `/_bun/` chunk resolved, JSON passed through untouched, 401 anonymous,
401 with a bad token, "nothing is listening" on a dead port. Websocket: refused
without the cookie, target parsed, frames relayed in both directions.

One bug found by testing rather than reading: the upstream path was derived by
slicing a hardcoded prefix, so every asset request returned the index page. It is
found from the `/<port>` segment now.

A test asserting `http://localhost:5173` is kept verbatim is now inverted, with the
reason written beside it — that was correct when the panel only framed real
hostnames.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0230e62a71 the platform stops explaining what Headscale is
Correcting my own reasoning from the last commit. I left "Headscale's API", "the
Headscale admin credential" and similar alone on the grounds that they name the
thing the plugin drives, so renaming them would make the sentences false. True as
far as it goes, and it misses the point: those sentences are in the PLATFORM. It
has no business knowing what Headscale is at all. Correct language in the wrong
repository is still a remnant.

Ten of them, each replaced with the platform's own vocabulary rather than the
plugin's domain:

- `crypto.ts` and `secret-store.ts` listed "the Headscale admin credential" among
  what one key used to protect. It is "the tailnet's admin credential" — the
  purpose, which is a word this repository owns.
- `catalogue.ts` and `availability.ts` explained `alsoServes` — a LIVE mechanism —
  entirely through a Headscale example that left the repository. Restated as the
  general shape, with one parenthesis saying which case produced it.
- The photos types file explained another plugin's sidecar.
- `App.tsx` cited `/headscale/:section` as the example of a route pair; that route
  does not exist. `/photos/:section` does.
- `plugins/router.ts` pointed at `useCompanionLogStream`, a hook that lives in a
  plugin now.
- `registry.ts` said in the present tense that `headscale` is `admin` — the
  permission is the plugin's and it declares its own, so a member-facing enrolment
  surface would be the PLUGIN's to add, not this file's.
- `proxy.sh` cited `headscale/schema.ts` as a style reference. That file is not in
  this repository.
- machine-setup said "Its Headscale app" — the app is the Offscale plugin.

`machine-setup/lib/tailscale.sh` keeps all ten of its mentions: it exists to
explain tailscale, headscale and offscale to somebody choosing between them, on a
core install, before any plugin exists. That is machine setup's subject, not the
plugin's domain leaking upward.

What survives elsewhere is only dated history — "was here until 2026-08-15", "It
was: music, vault, slskd, headscale, …" — plus the notes about the real
`headscale_servers` orphan and the secret-store key removed yesterday. Those record
that something called headscale used to be here, which is a different claim from
explaining what it does.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 1b65b83f1f the plugins screen becomes /marketplace
`/plugins` redirects rather than 404s: the word is in the dock, in the docs and in
whatever anyone bookmarked, and a route that worked yesterday returning nothing
reads as the feature having been removed. The API keeps its name — only the screen
moved — so the permission entry lists both paths, because a client-side redirect
is still a route that has to resolve before it can send anyone anywhere.

Also: the fetch stubs in marketplace.test.ts needed `as unknown as typeof fetch`.
Bun's `typeof fetch` carries `preconnect`, so a bare stub is not assignable —
tests passed while tsgo did not, which is the wrong way round to find out.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 84d6d7e7ce file browser: the eight defects from the audit
1. Kebab Cut/Copy silently did nothing, and sometimes cut the wrong rows.
   `EllipsisMenu` stops click propagation so opening it does not toggle
   selection — but Cut, Copy, Download, Delete and Compress all act on the
   SELECTION, which meant the kebab operated on whatever was selected elsewhere,
   or returned early with no toast at all. Right-click never had this because it
   selects first. Both now call one `ensureSelected`, on open.

2. Every menu vanished during a search. That branch had no ContextMenu and its
   rows are not FileItems, so right-click fell through to the browser. The folder
   menu is now declared once and mounted in both branches — it acts on
   `currentPath`, which a search does not change, so it stays meaningful.

   Search ROWS get their own three-item menu rather than the row menu: a hit
   carries an absolute path from anywhere in the tree, while every row-menu
   handler builds its path from the folder being browsed. Reusing it would have
   acted on a different file with the same name. `DirEntry.path` is optional —
   only search results carry one — so it is guarded, not asserted.

3. Download and Copy path now fan out over a multi-selection, the rule Delete and
   Compress already used. The menu downloaded one of six selected files while the
   toolbar zipped all six.

   Chat is deliberately NOT included: `chatContext` is a single path that the
   provider string-splits into a working directory, so a list would need Chat's
   contract changed. Left alone rather than half-done.

4. Read Aloud stopped offering TTS on binaries — same guard the editor got, since
   `text` is `getFileType`'s fallback and caught .exe and .sqlite.

5. `POST /file-browser/download` is filed as a read. It zips a selection and
   writes nothing; it is a POST only because a list of paths does not fit a query
   string. A read-level member could download a whole folder but not two files.
   Proved by hand that `readOnlyWrites: ['/download']` permits GET and POST
   /download, and still denies /download-video, /rm and /write — `isPrefixOf` is
   segment-aware, so the sibling route does not leak.

6. `disabled` had no use anywhere in the feature — the shared item type did not
   even expose it. It does now, and the first real case: `/file-browser/read`
   refuses over 5 MB, so Open in editor on a 40 MB log opened an editor that then
   failed. Hiding it would have suggested the file is not text; disabled says the
   true thing.

7. The grid kebab could fade out while its own dropdown was open — list view had
   `data-[state=open]:opacity-100` and grid did not.

8. Dead exports `getMatchingTasks` / `getMatchingAgents` removed. Both were the
   ungrouped input to the grouped form the menu actually renders; exporting them
   invited a second code path that never arrived.

9 is untouched on purpose — a plugin cannot register a menu item, and the music
plugin is where that should be designed.

pastilhas 9c2d6a97f7 a tested migration script for the capabilities→permissions rename
Other machines have to make the same database change, and pasted SQL is the
wrong way to ship it. `scripts/rename-capabilities-to-permissions.ts` renames
the table, its column, both indexes and its three CHECK constraints in one
transaction, and refuses to guess:

  neither table        nothing to do; db:push will create it
  already renamed      no-op, prints the grant count
  BOTH tables present  stops and says a human must decide
  old table only       migrates, counts before and after, prints every grant

Testing it found a bug that reading it had not. The existence checks were
inside the transaction but ran on the pool rather than on `tx`, so they could
not see the uncommitted rename: `columnExists('role_permissions','capability')`
answered false because that table did not exist yet on that connection, and the
COLUMN rename was silently skipped. The result was a `role_permissions` table
with a `capability` column — half migrated, and only failing on the next query.

That was found by building a scratch database in edge-pertento's exact shape
and running the script against it, rather than by review. Every check now
happens before the transaction, against the old names.

Verified end to end on that scratch: 6 grants migrated intact, a second run
correctly no-ops, and `db:push` afterwards leaves role_permissions and its rows
alone while creating the rest of the schema. Indexes come out as
role_permissions_pkey and uq_role_permissions_role_permission.

Also swept the last all-caps survivors the case-sensitive passes missed:
CORE_CAPABILITIES → CORE_PERMISSIONS, and a react-query key still spelling
['ROLE_CAPABILITIES']. The only CAPABILITIES left in src/ is the wallet's, which
is Lightning and stays.

pastilhas 2e8ec845c8 step 1/4: the permission engine is called permissions, not capabilities
The word meant four different things in this repo, not the three the offscale
doc records:

  1. the permission registry              → RENAMED here
  2. $OFFICER_ROOT/capabilities/ items    → kept; this is what capabilities are
  3. sidecar routing keys                 → step 3, becoming `handles`
  4. Lightning wallet features            → kept; a domain term, and on the wire
                                            to the mobile apps

The fourth was not in the doc and a global find-and-replace would have broken
the mobile wallet, which reads `{ kind, capabilities: Capability[] }` from the
wallet sidecar. So this renamed against an explicit file allowlist rather than
by sweeping the tree, and `CapabilityPage.tsx` — the UI for the item store, and
correctly named already — was left alone.

Moved: servers/capabilities/ → servers/permissions/, capability-gate.ts →
permission-gate.ts, users/capabilities-routes.ts → permissions-routes.ts,
hooks/useCapabilities.ts → usePermissions.ts. Identifiers follow.

Three breaks the typechecker could not see, all found by exercising it live.

The route paths moved with the prose sweep, so the server served
/user/permissions while the frontend still called /user/capabilities. A 404 on
every page load, and tsgo clean throughout.

The response FIELD moved too. `client.get<SelfPermissions>()` is an unchecked
cast, so `data.capabilities` became `undefined` at runtime with no compile
error — `can()` would have answered "no" to everything and the dock would have
emptied itself.

And the grants list was passed straight out of the database, so it arrived as
`{ role, capability, level }` while the screen read `grant.permission`. Every
role would have rendered as holding nothing. It is now mapped in the route:
the wire says `permission`, the column still says `capability`, and step 2
therefore changes nothing any client can see.

The stale react-query keys were the quiet one: two files still invalidated
['self-capabilities'] after the hook moved to ['self-permissions'], so
installing a plugin would have silently stopped refreshing the dock.

The database is untouched — `role_capabilities` and its `capability` column are
step 2, and the two call sites that cross that boundary say so in a comment.
Round-tripped the 9 live grants through the admin endpoint to prove the PUT
contract survived: 9 before, 9 after, Member's three intact.

Also reverted prettier churn on five landing-page files that a broad --write
picked up. Second time today; the lesson is not sticking.

tsgo clean. 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7 pre-existing failures — two of which
now read "path → permission" rather than "path → capability".
