-scale 0.5 was hardcoded on the assumption that :0 is 4K. With no monitor
plugged in X falls back to something tiny — 800x480 on this box — and halving
that served an unreadable 400x240.
Read the framebuffer width from xrandr and scale only above 2560px. When the
width cannot be read, serve 1:1: too many pixels beats a thumbnail.

The desktop page has never worked on a fresh install. Two faults, both fatal.
The password could never be created. DesktopView fetches /desktop/vnc-password
before opening the WebSocket, but ensureVncPassword ran only from startSession,
which only the WebSocket triggers — so the endpoint answered "not configured",
the UI stopped, and the socket that would have provisioned it was never opened.
A new vnc:ensure-password sidecar command provisions it directly; the endpoint
asks for it instead of returning 500.
The rfbauth file could never be written either. ensureVncPassword shelled out to
tigervnc's `vncpasswd -f`, which is not installed — and, contrary to the comment
in setup-desktop.sh, is not in tigervnc-common, which ships only tigervncconfig.
The failure was swallowed because only a zero exit wrote the file, so x11vnc got
-rfbauth pointing at nothing. x11vnc writes that format itself with -storepasswd,
so the dependency is gone and a failure now throws.
Verified on the box: the endpoint returns a password, .vnc/{passwd,password} are
written 0600, and the sidecar reports mirroring :0 on 5900 with x11vnc using the
generated rfbauth file.

Officer is single-user: the server owner is the only account, created once by
/auth/bootstrap. Everything that existed to serve additional users was
unreachable, so it is gone rather than left looking like it does something.
Accounts: drop the invite / resend-invite / delete / list-users routes and the
Users settings screen, the inert /auth/signup handler, and the account
verification chain it fed (verify, resend-verification, VerifyScreen, the
UserInvite + VerifyAdmin + VerifyRegistration templates). /auth/verify-token
survives for password resets only, and now requires a reset-password token
rather than accepting any signed JWT.
Roles: drop the users.role column and the four-value USER_ROLES enum. The
permissions table granted every role identical methods, and every
role === 'Super Admin' check was permanently true. The JWT no longer carries a
role claim.
Sandbox: remove sidecar/sandbox.ts and its five call sites. bwrap was selected
only for non-Super-Admin users, so it never ran. It was also not a usable agent
jail as written — --share-net, the project root (with .env) bound read-only,
and runuser dropping to the server's own uid. Rebuilding it for agent
containment would be a different construction, and git history keeps this one.
getHomeDir keeps its DATA_PATH meaning; the new getOwnerHomeDir resolves the
owner's real login home, which is what terminals, chats and task runs use.

setup-desktop.sh now installs ubuntu-desktop + gdm3 + x11vnc and forces the
Xorg session (WaylandEnable=false) with auto-login — x11vnc can only mirror an
Xorg :0, not Wayland. vnc-manager.ts resolves the X authority from the GDM
per-session path (/run/user/<uid>/gdm/Xauthority) with a ~/.Xauthority fallback.
setup.sh fixes:
- desktop step gates on `dpkg -s ubuntu-desktop` (was the decommissioned
officer-vnc service, which never matched so setup-desktop re-ran every time)
- remove Pi (install, --list-models validation, verification check)
- export GOPATH before the cliamp build so `go install` lands where it's checked
even when Go was already present this run
- write PUBLIC_BUILD_ENV=production and quote all .env values
- guard the interactive .env block behind a TTY check so non-interactive runs
skip cleanly instead of aborting on read EOF under set -e
- restart systemd-logind only when a key actually changed
- sed prefix-strip instead of `tr -d` (which deletes characters, not a prefix)

- vnc-manager now runs x11vnc against :0 rather than vncserver on a fresh display,
so the browser shows the same session as the tv instead of a parallel one
- x11vnc reads :0's cookie from the logged-in user's own .Xauthority, so no root is
needed; mirroring only works while someone is logged in (the greeter's cookie
belongs to lightdm)
- -scale 0.5 halves the 4k framebuffer to 1080p for the stream, -shared -forever
keeps it up across browser disconnects, -localhost keeps it behind the ws bridge
- readiness is now the listening port, not exit code: x11vnc stays in the
foreground where vncserver daemonized and exited
- drops findFreeDisplay and per-email session tracking; there is exactly one :0
- the parallel desktops this replaces caused real breakage: a ghost logind session
that broke lightdm login, and a brave profile lock held on :2

replaces the single hardcoded systemd VNC service with a dynamic
sidecar that manages per-user VNC sessions on demand. any authenticated
user can now access their own desktop, not just Super Admin.
