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.

Officer-Session: 656f5c85-e49a-4f1f-b9f3-042a04b4d043
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.

Three changes that Transcribe Audio needs.
Whisper's translate mode only ever outputs English, so it cannot honour
"translate into <language>" for anything else — it answered Portuguese audio with
a rough English rendering instead of a transcript. The translate decision is gone
and transcription is always faithful to the detected language; spokenLanguages
now only breaks ties on clips Whisper is unsure about.
Script tasks get OFFICER_API_URL / OFFICER_API_HOST / OFFICER_AUTH_TOKEN so they
can call Officer's own endpoints rather than reimplementing server-side work.
Requests go to 127.0.0.1 so nothing depends on DNS or the proxy, but origin
validation matches Host against PUBLIC_URL, hence the separate host variable.
`inline` accepts "ask", which offers both affordances in the runner — Run here
streams into the modal, Run as job queues it. Useful when the same task can take
a second or an hour depending on whether it was pointed at a file or a library.
Existing true/false values behave exactly as before.
