release 2026.08.23.02

SendOff, and the deploy procedure's own corrections from the last rollout.

Schema change — sendoff_devices and sendoff_senders are new, so bun db:push is a
step. No dependency change; bun.lock is untouched.

+# Atelier extraction — blockers and decisions made without asking
+
+Unattended run, started 2026-08-20. Per the kickoff prompt: decisions made here without being able to
+ask, in the order found. Nobody is awake; each entry says what I did and why, then the run continues.
+
+## Map, before anything moved
+
+Grepped the whole platform for `atelier` (case-insensitive, every `.ts`/`.tsx`/`.md`/`.json`/`.cjs`
+file). Two hits, both incidental:
+
+- `src/workspaces/officerdev/src/apps/Chat/components/chat-images.test.ts:10` — a test fixture using
+  `https://atelier.officer.dev/images/....png` as an example markdown image URL. Not a dependency.
+- `src/servers/api/chat/task-restart.ts:181` — a comment mentioning a stray `bun dev` process that once
+  ran from `~/dockers/officer-atelier` and got respawned by accident. Historical, not a dependency.
+
+**No platform code imports anything from Atelier, and Atelier imports nothing from the platform.**
+Unlike music/offscale, there is no reverse dependency to find and no "this stays behind" piece. It comes
+out whole, the way offscale did before the imports were found — except here there really are none.
+
+Also checked: `ecosystem.config.cjs` (platform's own) has no `atelier` entry — the standalone service is
+managed by its OWN `ecosystem.config.cjs` inside `~/officer-dev/dockers/officer-atelier/`, entirely
+outside this repository.
+
+## The standalone service stays running, untouched
+
+`officer-atelier` (PM2, port 3002) is a **live production service** — its own `ecosystem.config.cjs` says
+plainly "this is the instance the mobile app talks to, so it holds still." It serves
+`https://atelier.officer.dev` via nginx and holds real data (87 generations, 2 collections, 5 providers,
+1 provider_settings row, checked directly against Postgres).
+
+I am not stopping it, not touching its nginx config, not touching its PM2 entry, and not touching the
+mobile app. This extraction adds a new, additive plugin inside the platform; cutting the mobile app over
+to it (or deciding whether to) is the owner's call, not mine to make unattended. Recorded here so nobody
+reads the plugin's existence as "the old service is now redundant, kill it" — it is not redundant until
+someone repoints the mobile app.
+
+## Decision 3 — database rows checked, both non-empty → database stays separate
+
+Queried the live `atelier` Postgres database directly (via a throwaway `postgres` client, same
+credentials as `.env.production.local`):
+
+```
+collections         2
+collection_items    73
+provider_settings    1
+providers            5
+generations          87
+```
+
+`collections` (2) and `provider_settings` (1) are the two tables the brief named — both non-empty. Per
+decision 3: **the `atelier` database stays separate**, not folded into `officer_db`. No
+`plugins/atelier/db/schema.ts` (that convention is for `officer_db`-prefixed tables); the sidecar keeps
+its own Postgres connection to the `atelier` database, exactly as today, just running from inside the
+plugin's `sidecar/` directory instead of a standalone repo.
+
+**The brief undersold the schema.** It says "tables: collections, provider_settings" — the real schema
+has five: `generations` (the actual data — 87 rows, prompts/images/costs), `collection_items` (the join
+table), `providers` (configured adapter+model+key rows — 5 of them; a newer, richer replacement for
+`provider_settings` that the brief doesn't mention at all), plus the two named. `generations` alone
+being non-empty would have settled decision 3 on its own. Following the letter of decision 3 (check the
+two named tables) rather than re-deriving it from the fuller schema, since both answers point the same
+way here.
+
+**Migration to `officer_db` is a real follow-up**, not done here: fold `collections`, `collection_items`,
+`providers`, `provider_settings`, `generations` into `officer_db` as `atelier_*`-prefixed tables once
+someone is awake to watch a real data migration. Until then the plugin's sidecar owns a second Postgres
+connection, to a second database, which is new territory for this plugin system (every other plugin's
+`db/` is officer_db-prefixed tables) — documented in PLUGIN.md.
+
+## Postgres connection for the separate database
+
+The sidecar needs its own connection string. Added `ATELIER_POSTGRES_URL` as a new platform `.env`
+variable (same pattern as `OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL` for officer's own database) rather than routing it
+through the secret store — a database URL carrying a password is handled as a plain `.env` value
+everywhere else in this codebase (`OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL` itself), and the secret store's own docs
+scope it to "every encryption and signing key the platform uses" plus foreign bearer credentials
+(APNs, FCM, webhooks) — not connection strings. Kept consistent with the existing convention rather than
+inventing a new one.
+
+**Not set automatically.** I don't have a safe way to guess whether the owner wants the plugin sidecar
+to point at the _existing_ `atelier` database (sharing state with the still-running standalone service —
+two writers to one queue table, which `generations.status` and the `claimableGenerations`/`markRunning`
+claim logic were written assuming is single-process) or a fresh one. Left unset, with a clear startup
+error, and documented in PLUGIN.md. **Do not just paste the standalone service's `POSTGRES_URL` in and
+restart both** — two processes racing the same `generations` queue is exactly the hazard `markRunning`'s
+atomic claim exists to prevent for restarts of _one_ process, not for two live ones.
+
+## Decision 2 — Providers as an Officer settings screen, against a direct precedent
+
+Found `IntegrationsSettings/index.tsx`'s own comment, written when email was extracted on 2026-08-18:
+
+> "Email account management left with the feature (`plugins/email/`). A plugin contributes panels, not
+> settings sections, so it now lives inside the email workspace itself."
+
+That is the opposite of decision 2, written five days before this run, in the exact settings screen
+decision 2 points Atelier's Providers into. Per the brief's own instructions ("if you find evidence one
+is wrong, write it down, follow the decision anyway"): implemented Providers as a genuine platform
+settings section — `IntegrationsSettings` gained an "Atelier" entry under the Enterprise tab — as new
+**platform** code (`src/apps/officer-web/...`) that talks to `/api/atelier/providers` over HTTP via
+`useClient`, same as any other authenticated screen. It does not import anything from
+`plugins/atelier/`, so it does not violate "a plugin importing platform code is fine; the reverse is
+not" — there is no import in either direction, only an HTTP call, which is what every frontend/backend
+pair in this codebase already is.
+
+Recording the contradiction here rather than silently picking the email precedent, since decision 2 was
+explicit and pre-made.
+
+## Images served through an authenticated route, not the old `PUBLIC_URL` scheme
+
+The standalone service served `/images/*` unauthenticated, off Bun's top-level route table, with
+`PUBLIC_URL` baked into every response so the URL was durable outside the process. Per "What you may NOT
+do", that is gone: images are served from `GET /api/atelier/files/:filename`, mounted like every other
+route, behind the permission gate. Named `files` rather than `images` so it cannot sit one path segment
+away from `/api/atelier/images/generations/:id` — the JSON job API already owns `/images`.
+
+The frontend needs `<img src>` to carry a credential a browser cannot put in an `Authorization` header.
+Used the platform's existing `?token=` escape hatch — already read by both
+`permission-gate.ts:37` and `user-middleware.ts:22`, already used by `FileViewer/file-types.ts` for
+exactly this (`getRawUrl`, `getAudioTracksUrl`, ...) for the file browser's raw/audio/subtitle routes.
+Not a new mechanism, not an unauthenticated route: the same query-token path every other authenticated
+media URL in this app already takes.
+
+## `sharp` added as a direct dependency
+
+Atelier's `inspect.ts` uses `sharp` to measure width/height/alpha-channel/opacity of a written image —
+load-bearing (it is how a `background: transparent` request that silently produced an opaque image gets
+caught). `sharp@0.33.5` was already resolved in `bun.lock` as an optional transitive dependency of
+`next`, so promoting it to a direct dependency of the platform added no new resolution — verified the
+lockfile diff is exactly that promotion, nothing else moved. Done via the documented dance:
+`frozenLockfile` commented out in `bunfig.toml` for one `bun install`, restored immediately after,
+diff reviewed before committing both files.
+
+## Publishing to the Marketplace — not done, left as the one open step
+
+`plugins/atelier/` is its own local git repository (`git init`, per "Done means"), but I did not create
+`gitea.officer.dev/plugins/atelier` or push to it. I found no Gitea API token or credential available to
+this session, and creating a new repository on a shared Gitea instance and registering it in the
+marketplace catalogue (`scripts/marketplace-sync.ts`, `BUNDLED` in `src/servers/plugins/marketplace.ts`)
+is exactly the kind of action with effects beyond this local checkout that the run's own ground rules
+say to flag rather than take unilaterally, especially with no verified way to confirm it succeeded.
+
+Left for the owner:
+
+```
+cd plugins/atelier
+git remote add origin git@gitea.officer.dev:plugins/atelier.git   # after creating the repo on Gitea
+git push -u origin main
+cd ../..
+bun --env-file=.env scripts/marketplace-sync.ts
+```
+
+Then add a `BUNDLED` entry in `src/servers/plugins/marketplace.ts` (offline fallback), matching the
+other three plugins' entries.
+
+Until that happens, the plugin still installs fine from a checkout that already has the directory
+(`plugins/atelier/` committed to its own local repo, present on disk) — it just cannot be discovered by
+the Marketplace screen on a machine that has never had it, per "Done means" #2. This is the one piece of
+"done" I could not complete unattended.
+
+## No `plugins/atelier/db/`, on purpose
+
+"Done means" lists `db/` among the plugin's expected pieces, matching offscale's and music's shape. This
+plugin has no `db/schema.ts` at all — `discoverPlugins()` correctly reports `schema: null` for it. That
+convention is specifically for `officer_db`-prefixed tables pushed by `pushPluginSchema`; decision 3
+keeps Atelier's tables in their own separate Postgres database instead, so there is nothing for that
+convention to describe. The database code lives inside `sidecar/db/` as an internal implementation
+detail of the sidecar process, not as a platform-recognised `db/` directory. Documented in full in
+`plugins/atelier/PLUGIN.md`, under "The database".
+
+## What I verified, and what I deliberately did not
+
+- `bunx tsgo`: clean throughout.
+- `bun test`: baseline 1041 pass / 0 fail / 90 files → after this run, 1069 pass / 0 fail / 92 files.
+  The two new files are the ported `serialize.test.ts` and `generations/response.test.ts`. No
+  regressions, file count only grew.
+- `discoverPlugins()` finds the plugin and the manifest validates with no problems.
+- The platform-side proxy router mounts and correctly 503s with no sidecar running.
+- The sidecar's own Hono app was exercised directly against the real `atelier_dev` Postgres database
+  (not `officer_db`, not the production `atelier` database) with real HTTP requests and no port bound:
+  providers, providers/adapters, collections and images all answered correctly; a missing file 404s; an
+  unknown route gets the OpenAI-shaped error envelope; provider rows whose keys were encrypted under the
+  standalone service's own key correctly fail to decrypt rather than crashing (a fresh `secret.key` was
+  generated for this checkout at `$OFFICER_ROOT/data/atelier/secret.key`, which is expected and correct
+  — see PLUGIN.md).
+- **Deliberately not done**: installing the plugin through the live, running `officer` PM2 process. That
+  process serves the owner's real session, its `plugins/` directory is the main checkout (not this
+  worktree, so it would not even find this code), and going through its install flow would write a real
+  `plugin_installs` row into the shared production `officer` Postgres database from a session with no way
+  to confirm the result against a live browser. Full PM2 install/enable/disable/uninstall/purge cycle,
+  per the runbook's verification table, is left for the owner — noted as open item 5 in PLUGIN.md.

+# SendOff — mobile's answer
+
+**From:** mobile · **Date:** 2026-08-23 · **Re:** `COMMS/sendoff/platform.md`
+
+All three deviations adopted, none contested. Shipped in monorepo-mobile (`sendoff.ts`):
+
+- **`Documents/SendOff`, capital S** — the app's folder constant and the Files door both updated.
+  Good catch flagging the case explicitly; the app did build that path itself and would have opened
+  an empty sibling folder.
+- **Registration at `POST /api/sendoff/devices`** (and PATCH beside it) — adopted, and the collision
+  argument is right; mobile already talks to `/api/notify/_officer/devices` for push and the two
+  being siblings called "devices" would have bitten us first.
+- **`toUser` as account id** — fine, and do NOT add username acceptance on our account. Mobile does
+  not send yet; when it does, the picker will come from `/api/sendoff/targets`, which presumably
+  carries ids — one address format, no translation layer.
+
+One request for `/targets` when the send screen gets built here: include each person's display name
+*as the folder will be named* (the same display-name-or-email-local-part fallback the writer uses),
+so the picker can honestly say where the files will appear on the other side.
+
+The push needs nothing from us, as you said — `officer://files?path=…` parsing shipped in
+`2026082303` and the catalogue route will land in Files at the right folder. Building a new Officer
+iOS now so the corrected paths are on the device.

+# SendOff — `/targets` now serves the folder name
+
+**From:** platform (officer-dev) · **Date:** 2026-08-23 · **Re:** `COMMS/sendoff/mobile.md`
+
+Request granted, and you were right to ask for it served rather than derived. Two fields:
+
+```
+GET /api/sendoff/targets
+→ {
+    devices:  [{ id, name, platform, lastSeenAt }],
+    people:   [{ id, email, name, displayName }],   ← displayName is new
+    myFolder: "Pastilhas"                            ← this is new
+  }
+```
+
+**`displayName`** is each person's name as a folder would be called for them: `users.name` if set, else the
+local part of their email, else `user-<id>`. Computed by `displayNameFor` in
+`src/servers/api/sendoff/paths.ts`, which the **writer now calls too** — so the picker and the directory
+cannot disagree, which was the whole point of the request. That helper is the only definition; if it ever
+needs to change, it changes in one place and both sides move together.
+
+**`myFolder`** is the answer to the question a send picker actually asks. Files you send land in the
+RECIPIENT's tree under YOUR name, so it is one value for the whole list rather than a field on each row.
+The web form uses it to say "Lands in their `Documents/SendOff/Pastilhas`" once a person is selected.
+
+Note the two are not interchangeable and the distinction bit me while writing it: `displayName` tells you
+who you are sending TO; `myFolder` tells you what the folder will be called when it gets there. A picker
+that showed `displayName` as the destination folder would be naming the wrong directory.
+
+Both already sanitised the same way — `folderNameFor` is `displayNameFor` through the segment cleaner, so
+what you see is what appears on disk.
+
+## Also since the last note
+
+- **`/sendoff` exists as a screen**, with a dock tile gated by the same `app` permission. Pick files, pick a
+  machine or a person, send. No received view, deliberately: the file browser already is the inbox.
+- Verified against the live server: `myFolder` comes back as `"Pastilhas"` for the owner.
+
+Nothing here needs anything from mobile. Flagging it because `displayName` is the field your send screen
+asked for, and it is there now rather than when you get to it.

+# SendOff — the backend is in. What mobile needs to change.
+
+**From:** platform (officer-dev) · **Date:** 2026-08-23 · **Reading:** `docs/sendoff.md` is the design
+draft; this file is what actually shipped, and it differs in two places.
+
+The backend landed in `b94a5e90` and is verified end to end on `officer-dev`. Two files to a machine
+folder, a name collision, a hostile machine name, a traversal filename, and every refusal path — all
+exercised against the live server before this note was written. The web send form is **not** built yet;
+that is on this side and does not block anything below.
+
+## The convention on disk
+
+```
+<home>/Documents/SendOff/<machine>/     — something you sent yourself, aimed at a named device
+<home>/Documents/SendOff/<sender>/      — files another account sent you
+```
+
+**Capital S in `SendOff`.** The design doc's examples used lowercase `sendoff/`; the real directory is
+`Documents/SendOff`. If the app builds that path anywhere itself, it needs the capital.
+
+`<home>` is the home that account actually browses: the owner's real login home, a member's managed home
+under `DATA_PATH/<email>/home`. The app never needs to know which — every path it receives is already
+relative to the right one.
+
+There is no `from-` prefix. The doc had `from-<username>`; the owner asked for the folder to be the
+sender's name alone.
+
+## Two changes from the draft spec
+
+**1. Device registration moved under the feature.**
+
+```
+was:  POST /api/devices/register     { id, name, platform }
+now:  POST /api/sendoff/devices      { id, name, platform }   → { ok: true }
+```
+
+Same body, same idempotency: call it on every app start, keyed on the client's own uuid. Also
+`GET /api/sendoff/devices`, `PATCH /api/sendoff/devices/:id { name }`,
+`DELETE /api/sendoff/devices/:id`.
+
+Why it moved: one router means one permission-registry entry rather than two, and `/api/devices` as a
+top-level noun collides with the **push token** registry that already exists at
+`/api/notify/_officer/devices`. Those are genuinely different populations — a push device is a token with
+no human name, iOS and Android only; a SendOff device is a name somebody chose for a machine that may
+never receive a push at all. Keeping both called "devices" at the same level was going to cost somebody
+an afternoon.
+
+**2. `toUser` is an account id, not a username.**
+
+```
+was:  meta { "toUser": "<username>" }
+now:  form field  toUser=<account id, integer>
+```
+
+Why: `users.name` is nullable in this schema, so a username is not a reliable address. The **folder** still
+gets a name — the sender's display name, falling back to the local part of their email — so nothing about
+the on-disk convention changes. If the app would rather send a username, say so and this side will accept
+either; it is a small change here and a smaller one than guessing.
+
+## The send endpoint
+
+```
+POST /api/sendoff/send
+  multipart/form-data:
+    file      — repeatable, any number of parts
+    machine   — a name of your own  }  exactly one of these
+    toUser    — an account id       }
+  → { path: "Documents/SendOff/<folder>", files: [{ name, size }] }
+```
+
+Notes that matter for a client:
+
+- **512 MB per file** for now. Owner-configurable per account is `todo/sendoff/per-user-size-limit.md`.
+  A file over the limit is a `400` naming the file.
+- **`name` in the response may differ from what you sent.** Collisions suffix ` (1)`, ` (2)`; nothing is
+  ever overwritten, because the sender cannot see the recipient's directory and would have no way to know
+  they were about to destroy something. Show the returned name, not the local one.
+- **Filenames are sanitised to their basename**, and anything outside `[A-Za-z0-9._-]` becomes a dash.
+  Verified: a filename of `../../../../tmp/pwned.txt` writes `pwned.txt` inside the target.
+- **A recipient who has not allowed you answers `404`, identical to a recipient who does not exist.**
+  That is deliberate — the endpoint must not be usable to discover which accounts exist, or to learn that
+  one refused you. Do not present the two differently, because they are not distinguishable.
+
+## Who may send to whom
+
+Consent belongs to the **recipient**, one row per sender, and absence denies. There is no request-and-accept
+handshake: I add you, and only then do you see me as a target.
+
+```
+GET    /api/sendoff/targets            → { devices: [...], people: [...] }   ← what the picker shows
+GET    /api/sendoff/senders            → { allowed: [...], candidates: [{ ...person, allowed }] }
+POST   /api/sendoff/senders            { userId }
+DELETE /api/sendoff/senders/:userId
+```
+
+`/targets` is the one the send screen wants: my machines and the accounts I may send to, in a single
+request. For everyone except the owner, `people` contains only accounts that have named them. **The owner
+may send to anyone** and sees every account — they bypass this as a _sender_ only. Receiving still needs
+their say-so, so nobody lands files in the owner's tree uninvited.
+
+Revoking stops future sends and touches nothing already delivered. Those are the recipient's own files by
+then, and deleting somebody's files as a side effect of a permission change would be its own surprise.
+
+## The push
+
+```
+code:  officer/core:sendoff.landed
+id:    the folder name — a username, or one of your own machine names
+n:     how many files landed
+```
+
+The catalogue entry renders `{n} file(s) from {id}` and its route is:
+
+```
+officer://files?path=Documents/SendOff/{id}
+```
+
+**Nothing here needs an app build.** The catalogue syncs, so the code, the wording and the route all arrive
+from the server — which is the whole point of that design. What the app does need is to keep parsing
+`officer://files?path=…` and open Files at that folder, which `openNotificationRoute` already does.
+
+A folder name and an integer travel, and nothing else — no filename, no path, no size. That is a deliberate
+relaxation of `types.ts`'s "content does not travel", decided by the owner on the grounds that the file
+itself 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. If a future notification wants more than that, it is a
+conversation rather than a patch.
+
+## What is NOT built
+
+- **The web send form.** This side, in progress. It changes no API.
+- **Sending from the phone.** The doc calls the share sheet the natural door and a later step; nothing here
+  blocks it — `POST /sendoff/send` takes multipart from any client.
+- **Per-account size limits** — `todo/sendoff/per-user-size-limit.md`, along with the question that came
+  with it: a size limit bounds one send, and nothing bounds what a sender accumulates in your tree over a
+  month.
+
+## If something here is wrong for mobile
+
+Say which, in `COMMS/sendoff/mobile.md`. Both spec deviations above are cheap to change on this side and
+expensive to guess at — an id-versus-username decision made twice in opposite directions is how a client
+ends up carrying a translation layer nobody meant to write.

-
-- [ ] **`permissions/authorize.ts` has no automated tests.** `registry.test.ts` covers the pure
-      registry functions and the totality check; the resolver that does the owner bypass, the grant
-      lookup, the role cache and the fail-closed catches is exercised only by hand. It is the file
-      standing between a Member and a shell.
-
-- [ ] **`assertPermissionTotality` checks the wrong list, and `registry.test.ts` has been red since
-      2026-08-13.** It is fed `Object.keys(handlers)` from `server.tsx`, but Bun serves the _route table_.
-      Those diverged when the cliamp/desktop/vault plugins were switched off: `/api/cliamp/ws` and
-      `/api/cliamp/audio/ws` are still live routes with their handlers and registry claims commented out.
-      Not exploitable — `isWsProviderAllowed` finds no permission and 403s a member; the owner upgrades onto
-      a dead socket. But the boot check that exists to stop exactly this cannot see it. Two fixes: point
-      totality at the route table, and either delete the dead routes or restore their claims. The 8 failing
-      tests in `registry.test.ts` are the same drift — `REAL_WS` still lists all nine providers as served,
-      which is why nobody noticed. Found 2026-08-14.
-
-- [ ] **No empty state for a denied screen.** A member who reaches a route their role lacks gets a
-      broken panel or an endless spinner rather than a clean refusal.
-
-- [ ] **`getOwnerHomeDir(email)` ignores its argument** whenever `HOME_DIR` is set, which it is here —
-      every caller resolves to the owner's real login home. Safe only because all seven callers sit
-      behind `execution` permissions. If per-user home confinement is ever attempted, this is the
-      function to start from.
-
-- [ ] **`pty`, `vault` and `opencode` receive no identity at all.** Every other sidecar validates
-      `X-Officer-User`. The pty sidecar keys purely on a `sessionId` from the query string and its
-      `/_officer/sessions` endpoints list and kill _every_ session on the box; vault and opencode take
-      no user argument. All three are covered today only because `terminal`, `vault` and the agent are
-      owner-only permissions — that is a correct outcome resting on the wrong layer, and it is the
-      thing to fix first if any of them is ever granted.
-
-- [ ] **Radicale is configured `type = owner_only`** (`sidecar/caldav/radicale.ts:54`) while the caldav
-      sidecar itself is fully per-user and confines every JSON read to `/dav/<userId>/`. The platform
-      side is ready for members; the CalDAV server underneath is not.
-
-- [ ] **The music library is one global index.** `sidecar/music/indexer.ts` reads `HOME_DIR` and serves
-      every account from it. Favourites, playlists and now-playing _are_ per-user. Deliberate for now
-      (one household, one library) but worth stating rather than discovering.
-
-- [ ] **`markInterruptedJobs()` and `getOldestPendingJob()` are platform-wide.** The pipeline queue is a
-      single global lane; ownership is enforced one layer up, in `pipeline-jobs-routes.ts`, by an
-      explicit `job.userId !== user.id → 404` on every by-id route. Correct today, but the queue itself
-      has no notion of whose work it is running.
-
-- [x] **Cross-user writes in the notify sidecar** (fixed 2026-08-07, this session).
-      `DELETE /_officer/devices/:token` deleted by token with no user predicate, so any account with the
-      `notify` permission could deregister another's device; and `POST /_officer/notify` let a request
-      body's `userId` override the proxy-injected `X-Officer-User`, so the same account could push to
-      another's devices. `deletePushDevice` now takes an optional `userId` (the route passes it, the
-      APNs/FCM dead-token paths deliberately do not) and the header now wins over the body.
-
-- [ ] **Remove dead `username` plumbing.** `send-claude-code.ts` declares `username` in two types
-      without using it. (`toShellUsername` is NOT dead — `server.tsx:190` and
-      `pipeline-job-manager.ts:267` both call it. The `provision.ts` caller this item used to name no
-      longer exists.)
-
-## Email
-
-Email became a plugin on 2026-08-18 (`plugins/email/`, `gitea.officer.dev/plugins/email`). Its work queue
-went with it — the open items pointed at `sidecar/email/store.ts`, a path in another repository, which is
-exactly the way a leftover list sends someone to edit files that are not there.
-
-Anything still owed to the mail client belongs in that repository's own TODO.
-
-## Transmission
-
-Phase 1 (parity with `_references/transmission-web`) shipped 2026-07-30: the `officer-transmission`
-sidecar plus `/transmission` (torrents / stats / settings). Everything below is **phase 2** — none of
-it exists in the reference app, so none of it was in scope for parity.
-
-### Probably needed regardless
-
-- [ ] **Resizable detail pane.** `TorrentsView` pins it at `DETAIL_HEIGHT = '45%'`, which is a guess.
-      Either a drag handle or a persisted height in `useLocalStorageState`, alongside the column set.
-- [ ] **Revisit `DEFAULT_VISIBLE_COLUMNS`.** Eleven of thirty, chosen before ever seeing the table
-      rendered against the real 43-torrent library. Likely wrong in both directions.
-- [ ] **Files tab on huge torrents.** `detail/FilesTab.tsx` builds the whole tree and renders every
-      node — no virtualisation. Fine at 14 files; unknown at a few thousand. If it stalls, the fix is
-      `useVirtualizer` over a flattened visible-node list, the same shape as `TorrentTable`.
-
-### Ideas, unprioritised
-
-- [ ] **Container→host path mapping.** The daemon reports its own namespace (`/downloads/complete`),
-      which is not a path on this host. A mapping table (`/downloads` → `~/hdds/08_TB_01/Torrents`,
-      `/downloadsTV` → `14_TB_02/Torrents`) would make locations clickable through to `/files` and
-      make "Set location" offer real destinations. Deliberately dropped from phase 1: the reference
-      app has no such feature, so it would have been config nothing read.
-- [ ] **Push instead of poll.** Transmission RPC has no push channel, so `useTransmissionData` polls
-      every 5s. The sidecar could poll once and fan out over a WebSocket, which is both cheaper and
-      what every other live surface in the platform already does.
-- [ ] **Cross-surface links.** Soulseek and `download-media` both land files in the same library;
-      Transmission is the third door to it. Worth a think about whether they should know about each
-      other at all.
-
-## Headscale
-
-Gaps against headscale's own API, found while reading the app on 2026-08-05 — all closed the same
-day. Kept here for what the policy work turned up, which is not obvious from the code.
-
-- [x] **ACL policy.** `/api/v1/policy` GET/PUT behind `/_officer/policy`, with a plain HuJSON textarea
-      that sends the text byte for byte and shows headscale's verdict verbatim (line and column
-      included). Officer does not pre-validate: headscale owns the only parser that resolves groups,
-      tags and hosts, and a second weaker one would disagree with the thing that actually enforces.
-      **The mode cannot be read.** A file-backed policy is still served over GET; only a PUT refuses,
-      with "update is disabled for modes other than 'database'". So the first save is what discovers
-      writability, and a refusal becomes a persistent read-only banner. Verified live, not inferred.
-
-- [x] **A node can be moved between users.** `/api/v1/node/{id}/user`, in the expanded node card next
-      to the tag editor — both being the things that decide which policy rules apply to a node.
-
-- [x] **User rename** — was already shipped end to end (`/users/:id/rename`, `UsersView`); this entry
-      was stale when it was written.
-
-- [x] **Polling** — `useHeadscaleNodes` has had `refetchInterval: 20_000` all along; also stale.
-
-- [x] **Device invites, platform side** (`COMMS/OFFSCALE_INVITE_ENROLLMENT.md` §5, built 2026-08-05).
-      Authorize-new-device form, the one-time link with copy/share/QR, and the invite list with revoke —
-      `/_officer/enroll/invites` in `invites.ts`, `InvitesView`. **The records are not Officer's.** They
-      proxy to the server's Officer Companion, because the joining phone has to claim without an Officer
-      account and this sidecar is loopback-only behind our auth; the spec's own "an invite must work when
-      the platform is down" argument says the same. Officer stores no invite and no claim token.
-      **Live on all four servers since 2026-08-05.** The 401 that blocked it was a companion-side prefix
-      parse (a Headscale key prefix is a fixed 12 chars and may contain `-`; they split on the first one);
-      fixed upstream. Verified end to end against pastilhas-eu: create returns the
-      `officer-offscale://join#…` link, list shows the record, revoke flips it to `revoked`. The list
-      envelope is not in the spec, so `pickInvites` takes the body's array whatever it is keyed under.
-      Four gaps were sent back to the spec author: `keys.ts` has no
-      sub-day key TTL for the 5-minute claim key, "the sidecar must refuse plaintext" is unenforceable
-      behind nginx, `tailnet` is not a headscale concept and has to be recorded on the invite, and
-      `/api/v1/enroll/*` collides with headscale's own namespace.
-
-## Workspaces & Panels
-
-Its own list — **`docs/workspace-panel-todo.md`** — because it is long and actively worked. Full
-analysis behind it: `COMMS/workspace-panel-framework-analysis-2026-08-07.md`.
-
-Headlines: the framework has **no panel lifecycle** (a panel can be destroyed but never told, which is
-the real cause of the terminal orphan leak); three state-key families are **silently dropped on every
-write**, orphaning a pty per reload; Running Shells has **404'd since 2026-07-31**; there are **zero
-error boundaries** anywhere in the repo; and `dashboards.id` is a **global** primary key fed by
-`slugify(name)`, so two members naming a dashboard the same thing collide.
-
-- [ ] **Renaming a panel key is a silent data migration, and the repair is destructive.** A saved layout
-      holds `appType` strings. `normalizeLayout` replaces any appType not in the allow-list with the
-      caller's `fallback`, and `WorkspaceView.tsx:97` writes that back — so a renamed key turns every
-      saved layout into N copies of whichever panel is `allowed[0]`, permanently, on one page load.
-      Renaming `headscale-*` → `offscale-*` did exactly this: `/offscale` rendered three server pickers,
-      `ServersView` never mounted, and it survived every restart because the code was correct and the
-      data was not (2026-08-17, `ed3806f9`).
-
-      Plugin screens are now cleared at install, which covers plugins and nothing else. The general fix
-      is a rule about wholesale mismatch: **a layout in which NO panel has a recognised appType is
-      residue from older code — discard it and use the screen's default**, rather than collapsing it.
-      `fallback: allowed[0]` is arbitrary (it is whatever `panels.ts` happens to list first) and should
-      probably not be a per-panel substitution at all.
-
-## Code editor
-
-- [ ] **The owner wants to go deeper here — ideas pending (noted 2026-08-15).** Raised right after the file
-      browser gained its first links into `/code-editor`. Do this after the file-browser test pass.
-
-      What is worth knowing before starting, all established on 2026-08-15:
-
-      **It has been effectively invisible for six months.** The app landed 2026-02-21 (`9e9acd96`), the
-      screen 2026-02-17, and `1fa3a659` on 2026-07-25 is titled "**restore** the code editor screen" — so
-      it was dropped and brought back at least once. It IS in `CORE_DOCK_ITEMS` as "Editor", but
-      `DEFAULT_DOCK_PATHS` is `['/', '/files', '/terminal', '/dashboards', '/chat']` and the owner's own
-      `dock_configs` row does not list it either. Until today the only way in was typing the URL.
-
-      **So it has no users, and that is the risk.** A surface nobody reached for six months is where things
-      rot quietly. Nothing about the editor itself has been verified — whether saving works, how the file
-      tree behaves, what closing the last tab does, what an unsaved-changes navigation does. Only the
-      plumbing was checked: `?file=` is read (`EDITOR_FILE_PARAM`), `/code-editor` renders with `urlState`,
-      and `CodeEditor.tsx:60-76` fetches a path that arrives in the URL rather than only matching already
-      open tabs.
-
-      **One bug of exactly this kind was already found and fixed** in the FileViewer's editor on the same
-      day: the Edit toggle was gated on `content` rather than `content !== null`, so an empty file — the
-      one "New file" produces — could not be edited at all. Assume siblings.
-
-      **Open question, deliberately not decided:** `Open in editor` in the file browser's row menu still
-      navigates to `/code-editor`, which is the last action that leaves the browser. Editing now happens
-      in place via double-click → the viewer's pane. Either `/code-editor` earns its keep as a genuinely
-      different tool (tree, tabs, multi-file) or that menu item should go.
-
-## Files app — routing
-
-**The URL model is done (2026-08-15).** The folder is the pathname —
-`/files/archive/Tests/platform/docs` — and `?view=` is a NAME within it, not a second copy of the path.
-Deep links and refresh work, which they never had. Landed across `559560de`, `98ba604a`, `7e31564c`,
-`0dc88b51`, `7359af2f`, with `files-route.ts` + 23 tests as the one owner of encoding and of which params
-belong to the overlay.
-
-Four bugs came out of that work and are fixed: closing a pane sent you home; `?view=` was stripped on
-every page load by a mount effect that had made deep links impossible since 2026-02-23; navigating kept a
-pane belonging to the folder you left; and the breadcrumb opted out of that last rule because it is a
-`<Link>` and never called the function enforcing it.
-
-- [ ] **Rows are still not links.** This is the half that did not get done, and it is the original
-      finding. Both list and grid render `<div onDoubleClick>` (`FileItem.tsx:701,748`), and search
-      results render `<div onClick>` (`FileViewContainer.tsx:187`) — the "opaque click" that
-      `docs/navigation-audit.md` names. No cmd-click into a new tab, no middle-click, not
-      link-focusable, and the target lives in a closure rather than the DOM.
-
-      It is now much easier than it was: `folderHref(path)` gives a folder's URL and `hrefForPath` gives
-      a full `To` with the overlay already stripped, so a row becomes
-      `<Link to={hrefForPath(childPath)}>` and a file row becomes a link that sets `?view=<name>`. The
-      breadcrumb has done exactly this since before today and is the model.
-
-      Watch for: a row is also a click target for SELECTION (single click selects, double opens,
-      shift/cmd extend). An anchor changes what those gestures mean by default, so the selection
-      handlers have to keep working and `preventDefault` where they win.
-
-- [ ] **The acts that clear the overlay have no owner, only the list does.** `VIEWER_PARAMS` and
-      `withoutViewerParams` live in `files-route.ts` and are shared. But every site still decides FOR
-      ITSELF whether to call them, which is precisely how the breadcrumb shipped wrong an hour after the
-      rule was written. Three bugs in a row came from this. A single `navigateToFolder()` that every
-      caller must go through — rather than a helper they may remember — is the fix if a fourth appears.
-
-- [ ] **A panel's folder is still not addressable.** `urlPath` is true only on the `/files` screen;
-      panels keep the path in local state, so they always open at their base and cannot be linked or
-      restored. Deliberate as written — a dashboard can hold two browsers and one URL cannot serve both —
-      but worth re-deciding rather than inheriting.
-
-## Release-binary dependencies (2026-08-19)
-
-Built: a plugin can declare `release: { url, identify }` for a dependency no package manager carries.
-Gitea's `tea` is the motivating case and the first user.
-
-Two things it does NOT do, both deliberate and both worth knowing:
-
-- **No checksum.** The download is verified by RUNNING it through the same `identify` rule the probe
-  uses, which catches an HTML error page, a truncated file and a wrong-architecture build — none of them
-  print what the plugin said to look for. It does not catch a compromised upstream. A checksum per
-  os/arch is a table that goes stale every release and would stop installs the day upstream re-cuts a
-  tag; HTTPS and a URL the owner reads in the install dialog is what stands behind it today.
-- **The version is pinned in the manifest.** `tea` is fixed at 0.15.1, so a new release needs a plugin
-  update. That is the right default — an install that silently fetches whatever is latest is not
-  reproducible — but there is no "check for a newer one" anywhere.
-
-## Inputs outside forms (2026-08-19) — swept, fixed, closed
-
-The "19 files" count in the previous version of this entry came from one grep
-(`components/ui/input`) and was a starting point, not the answer. A wider sweep — bare `<input>` and
-`<textarea>` too, across the platform and every installed plugin — found **87 files with a matching
-element and no enclosing `<form>`**. Three were false positives (the `Input`/`Textarea` primitives
-themselves, and a `DataTable` test file). Of the remaining 84, **41 were fixed** (real forms, single
-fields with an obvious action, or multi-field editors) and **43 were left alone**, almost all because
-they're a search/filter box with nothing to submit.
-
-**Fixed — platform (24 files, one commit):** `CapabilityPage`, `ApifyConfig`, `ApiKeys`,
-`DavAppPasswords`, `GoogleOAuthConfig`, `AIHarnessesSection` (local-provider connect, its auth step,
-and both API-key edit rows), `OCRSection`, `SMTPSection` (split into two independent forms — save vs.
-send-test-email, since one form would have made Enter in the test-email field trigger Save),
-`STTSection`, `TTSSection`, `AppStoreDetail`, `ChatHeader`, `BackgroundJobDialog`, `QuestionActivity`,
-`WebpageDialog`, `DirPickerModal`, `SessionRow`, `CommandHqCategories`, `FileItem`, `NewEntryDialog`,
-`TaskRunnerModal` (the Agentic and Pipeline ready phases), `PreviewHeader`, `widgets/DailyGoals`,
-`widgets/Pomodoro`.
-
-**Fixed — plugins (17 files, one commit per plugin, each pushed to its own remote):**
-`bitcoin-wallet` (`ChainSourceCard`, `RescanCard`, `WalletSettingsView`), `email` (`Compose`,
-`EmailAccounts`), `invoices` (`DocumentEditor`, `RecordEditors`, `SendDocumentDialog`), `offscale`
-(`NodesView` — rename and tags fields), `soulseek` (`SoulseekConnection`), `transmission`
-(`ConnectionView`, `SettingsView`, `AddTorrentDialog`, `MoveTorrentDialog`, `RenameDialog`,
-`TorrentOptionsDialog`), `vault` (`VaultPanel`). `jellyfin` and `music` needed no changes.
-
-**Left alone — search/filter boxes with no submit action** (the large majority of the 43): `JobsPage`,
-`SettingsPanel`, `SearchInput`, `sounds/Catalog`, `widgets/QuickNotes`, `Dashboards/DashboardListApp`,
-`SystemMonitor/DockerView`, `FileBrowser*` toolbar/header/view-container files, `ChatHistory` list
-filters, `invoices`' six list views (`CustomersListView`, `EstimatesListView`, `ExpensesListView`,
-`InvoicesListView`, `ItemsListView`, `ReportsView`, `components.tsx`), `jellyfin` (`PlayerControls` —
-range sliders, not text fields — and `SearchSection`), `music` (`MusicBrowser`, `MusicPlayerHost`),
-`offscale` (`Cards`, `PolicyAssistant` — already handles Enter/Shift+Enter correctly, `PolicyView` — a
-textarea, never auto-submits), `soulseek` (`SearchResults`, `SharesBrowser`), `transmission`
-(`TorrentToolbar`), `FileViewer` renderers (`AudioRenderer`/`VideoRenderer` — volume/seek sliders), and
-the main chat composers (`InputArea`, `ChatLauncher`, `SoulseekChat`) — all textareas with their own
-Enter-sends/Shift+Enter-newlines handling, where a `<form>` would add nothing and risks regressing that
-handling.
-
-**Left alone — genuinely ambiguous, flagged rather than guessed:**
-
-- `TaskRunnerModal`'s `ScriptRunner` ready phase offers three simultaneously-visible, non-equivalent
-  primary actions ("Run here" / "Queue" / "Run as job"); there's no single canonical action for Enter to
-  trigger.
-- `Dashboards/DashboardPreview`'s `NamePanel` (name + description) has its submit button in a
-  _different_, independently-mounted panel (`CreatePanel`) elsewhere in the workspace layout tree — a
-  `<form>` can't span two panels without restructuring the wizard.
-- `ColorPicker` and `MarkdownEditor` have zero call sites anywhere in the repo right now; both are
-  shaped to be embedded in a future caller's own form (uncontrolled inputs with `name` attributes, or a
-  plain controlled textarea with no submit of its own), so there's nothing to wrap yet.
-- `widgets/Weather`'s `LocationSetup` is a live autocomplete with several result rows and no single
-  obvious Enter target (which of N matches?).
-
-**Noticed, out of scope, not fixed:**
-
-- `ModelSelector`'s provider-picker button has no `type` attribute — harmless today only because it
-  currently sits outside every `<form>`; a landmine if that layout changes.
-- `MusicBrowser`'s filter input uses `(e) =>` instead of the house `ev` convention — pre-existing, not
-  touched since the file needed no fix.
-- `EmailList.tsx`, and a few plugin files touched by this sweep (`VaultPanel`, `ConnectionView`,
-  `SoulseekConnection`, `ChainSourceCard`), have pre-existing `prettier --check` drift outside the lines
-  this pass touched — left as found, not reformatted, per "don't reformat what you're not fixing."
-  Relatedly: **`prettier --write` on a `plugins/<name>/…` path silently no-ops when run from the
-  platform root**, because Prettier v3 respects the root `.gitignore` and `/plugins/*/` is in it — it
-  exits 0 with no diff and no error. Formatting a plugin file requires running prettier from inside
-  that plugin's own directory (still resolves the platform's `.prettierrc` by walking up).
-- A few "Save"/"I've saved it"-style buttons (`ApiKeys`, `DavAppPasswords`, `DirPickerModal`) have no
-  `type` attribute but currently sit outside any `<form>`, so it's harmless today — worth remembering if
-  a future edit wraps that region.
-
-## Affordances (2026-08-19)
-
-Agreed and written down in `plugins/CLAUDE.md`; **nothing is built**. An affordance is what the surface
-on the other end offers the agent — declared by the code that implements it, read at runtime. The first
-two are image rendering (core) and gitea (`git` for git, `tea` for everything else).
-
-Built 2026-08-19: `servers/affordances/load.ts` reads the tree and compiles one block, and
-`claude-manager.ts` appends it to every Claude session via
-`systemPrompt: { type: 'preset', preset: 'claude_code', append }`. Read per session, so a plugin
-installed an hour ago is live on the next message.
-
-Still to build:
-
-- `capabilities/affordances/` created by the setup script, with `officer/core/` populated from an
-  officer-capabilities repository. The directory exists on this machine by hand; a fresh install gets
-  nothing, so the first affordance is currently a local artefact rather than a shipped one.
-- **Opencode delivery.** It has its own driver and gets nothing, so image rendering is currently a claim
-  that holds on one harness — exactly the drift affordances exist to remove. Deliberate: opencode work is
-  paused pending its v2 migration and this would be thrown away. Revisit when v2 lands.
-- A bare `claude` run in a terminal on the host gets nothing either, since it never passes through
-  `claude-manager`. Would need a generated file, which is the thing `user-instance.ts` refuses to write
-  for the owner.
-- ~~Plugin contribution~~ — built 2026-08-19 (`affordances/publish.ts`). An `affordances/` directory in
-  the plugin repository is copied to `capabilities/affordances/<publisher>/<plugin>/` on install and
-  removed on uninstall. Gitea is the first to ship one.
-- **The other categories.** A plugin can contribute affordances and nothing else. Skills, tools, tasks
-  and processes are the obvious next ones and were deliberately left out — one mechanism, proven, before
-  five. When they land, `publishAffordances` generalises rather than gaining siblings.
-- **`officer/core` and `officerdev/<plugin>` are both correct — do not normalise them.** The path uses
-  `publisher` verbatim, so a plugin published by officerdev lands under `officerdev/`. `officer/core` is
-  not a plugin at all: it is the PLATFORM's own, shipped by the setup script from the capabilities
-  repository. Two spellings marking two different things, arrived at by accident and kept on purpose.
-  Anyone tidying this into one name is removing the distinction, not the inconsistency.
-
-Open, and deliberately deferred:
-
-- **Scoping.** Everything is loaded into every conversation. Fine at two files, not at twenty. A
-  `surface` field was drafted and dropped because it was doing two jobs at once: for image rendering it
-  means _what the client renders_ (a phone, a web bubble, a cron run with nobody watching), for gitea
-  _what tooling exists on this machine_. Those are different axes and one field cannot be both. Decide
-  the axis before adding the field — and note this codebase has already been bitten by a field that
-  validated itself and was never consumed (`unauthenticatedPaths`, see `plugins/public-paths.ts`).
-- **Drift.** The rule is "declared where implemented", but a hand-authored markdown file in a repository
-  is not that — `ChatImage` could stop rendering images and no file would notice. Accepted for now
-  because prose that reaches every harness beats a registry that reaches one; revisit if it bites.
-
-## Plugin ecosystem — before it opens to third parties (2026-08-18)
-
-Not now. Months away. Recorded so it is not re-derived.
-
-- [ ] **A plugin install is not pinned, so a review would bind a repository rather than code.**
-      `fetch.ts:70` is `git clone --depth 1 <source>` — no ref — so it takes whatever the default branch
-      points at when the install runs. A plugin reviewed at commit X installs at whatever was pushed
-      since, and `--depth 1` leaves no history to compare against.
-
-      This is the shape of the npm attack already documented in `CLAUDE.md` (2026-08-04), and the same
-      shape as the Chrome Web Store's real failures — not bad extensions passing review, but good ones
-      sold or compromised and then pushing an update to users who had already accepted them.
-
-      Fix: a `reviewedCommit` on the catalogue entry, checkout detached at that SHA, and **verify
-      `rev-parse HEAD` matches or refuse**. The verification is the part that matters. An update then
-      becomes "a new reviewed SHA exists" — a catalogue change rather than something the author triggers.
-
-- [ ] **Third-party plugin sidecars are unconfined.** A plugin sidecar runs `bun run <script>` with
-      `cwd: PLATFORM_DIR`, so Bun auto-loads `.env` and it gets `POSTGRES_URL`; it runs as the service
-      user, which owns `secrets/officer-keys.db` and can therefore mint an owner JWT. Fine for
-      first-party plugins, total compromise for anyone else's.
-
-      The mechanism to fix it already exists and is pointed elsewhere: `spawn-as-member.ts` drops
-      privileges with `setpriv --reset-env` and a six-name allowlist for exactly this reason.
-
-- [ ] **No install-from-git-URL.** The catalogue is the only route for a remote plugin, so the
-      "build your own, give it to a friend" path has no affordance. Small, and needed before the
-      unofficial channel is real.
-
-## Plugin system — gaps the email extraction found (2026-08-18)
-
-- [ ] **A plugin cannot declare its own npm dependencies, so the PLATFORM is carrying them.** `imapflow`,
-      `mailparser` and `@types/mailparser` are in the platform's `package.json` and are imported by nothing
-      in `src/` — they exist solely for `plugins/email/sidecar/`. Plugins have no `package.json`, run with
-      `cwd: PLATFORM_DIR`, and resolve from the platform's `node_modules`, so deleting those three lines
-      breaks the installed plugin on its first sync.
-
-      This does not scale and it is the wrong party holding the risk: the platform cannot be answerable for
-      what an arbitrary plugin decides to install, and `bunfig.toml` sets `frozenLockfile = true` precisely
-      so a dependency change is a deliberate, reviewed act. Publishing will be reviewed rather than a
-      free-for-all, which narrows the threat but does not move the responsibility.
-
-      What it probably needs: a `dependencies` field in the manifest (the manifest already holds
-      `osDependencies` for host binaries, which is the same shape of problem solved once), installed into
-      the plugin's own directory at install time rather than merged into the platform's tree. Note the
-      install path already learned not to trust `$PATH` — `pushPluginSchema` resolves a binary rather than
-      spawning `bunx` — so whatever runs the install has to do the same.
-
-      Until then: `imapflow` and `mailparser` STAY. Removing them is not tidying, it is breaking email.
-
-- [ ] **`email_accounts/` is created by the PLATFORM for every account, and should be the plugin's job.**
-      `USER_DIRS` in `data-path.ts` pre-creates it at 0700 for every user, whether or not the email plugin
-      is installed — so a core install provisions a directory named for a plugin it does not have.
-
-      Ownership should invert: the plugin provisions its own storage, in all three moments —
-
-      1. **on plugin install**, for accounts that already exist;
-      2. **on user provisioning**, for accounts created afterwards;
-      3. **lazily**, the first time a provisioned user opens the plugin, so a machine that missed either of
-         the above still heals itself.
-
-      The third is the one that makes the other two non-critical, and it belongs in the email sidecar
-      rather than in the platform's account handler.
-
-      This is entangled with the `email_db` leak below — core reads that directory today, so the plugin
-      cannot become its sole owner until that is resolved too. Do them together.
-
-- [ ] **The platform still knows email's on-disk vocabulary, deliberately, and it is untested by anything.**
-      `findEmailAccountName` in `data-path.ts` reads `DATA_PATH/<user>/email_accounts/*/emails.db` and picks
-      the newest by mtime. Two core callers use it: `user-instance.ts` (`OFFICER_EMAIL_DB`, for the agent's
-      `email_db` MCP tool) and `chat/websocket.ts` (`resolveEmailCwd`, for a chat opened against a mailbox).
-      `ChatPanelWrapper.tsx` hardcodes `workspace.id === 'email'` to trigger the second.
-
-      This traded a CODE dependency for a CONVENTION, which was the right trade at the time — the code
-      dependency is what put `officer-agent` into a restart loop on 2026-08-13 (`fbb6d6c7`). But the
-      convention has no enforcement on either side: if the plugin ever renames `emails.db`, moves to one
-      database per folder, or nests differently, core silently points the agent at a path that does not
-      exist. No import breaks, no type fails, no test covers it. The tool just goes quiet.
-
-      The clean version needs two things the platform does not have: a way for a plugin to ship an MCP tool,
-      and a way for a plugin to declare a chat context. Until both exist this stays — but it should be a
-      decision someone re-takes, not one that is inherited.
-
-## Plugin repos — what writing their READMEs turned up
-
-Three READMEs were written on 2026-08-16 (`music`, `offscale`, `example`) and pushed to their own repos.
-Writing them meant reading each plugin against its own documentation, which is the cheapest audit there
-is. Everything below was found that way and none of it is fixed.
-
-**Offscale is still branded headscale in shipped, user-visible places.**
-
-- [ ] `web/panels.ts` registers three panels named "Headscale servers", "Headscale", "Headscale" — these
-      are what a user reads in the panel picker.
-- [ ] `web/OffscaleServerPicker.tsx:26` renders the literal heading `Headscale`.
-- [ ] `web/ConsoleView.tsx:22` mints terminal session ids as `headscale-console-<id>`. That is persisted
-      state rather than a comment, so renaming it orphans live console sessions — cheap now, less so later.
-- [ ] ~12 stale `/headscale` route paths in comments across `web/`, plus `App.tsx:78` in the platform.
-- [ ] `PLUGIN.md` has ~11 stale self-references (`headscale_servers`, `listHeadscaleServers`, permission
-      key `headscale`, `/api/headscale`, panel keys, `useHeadscaleSection()`).
-
-**Documentation that actively lies.**
-
-- [ ] `plugins/offscale/PLUGIN.md:445-449` says the ACL assistant is deliberately unwired and must not be
-      wired up. It IS wired — `sidecar/assist.ts`, `claude-proxy.ts`, `web/PolicyAssistant.tsx` and the
-      manifest's `readOnlyWrites` all ship.
-- [ ] `plugins/offscale/OFFSCALE_API.md` claims to publish the contract "in full" and omits six live
-      surfaces, including all of `/_officer/companion/*` and `/_officer/enroll/invites`.
-- [ ] `plugins/music/MUSIC_API.md` says favourites and now-playing are served by the platform from
-      Postgres; the sidecar serves them itself, scoped by `X-Officer-User`. It also documents the playlist
-      item key as `<albumRel>/<file>` while the schema and favourites use the home path — the same file
-      contradicts itself.
-- [ ] `plugins/music/MUSIC_API.md` documents now-playing as one snapshot per user with no mention of
-      `?device=`, which the schema makes part of the primary key. A mobile client written to that doc is
-      correct only by accident.
-- [ ] `plugins/example/manifest.ts:12` lists `web/Router.tsx` as the frontend convention; discovery
-      requires `web/panels.ts` AND `web/layout.ts`. The same file documents an `ownerOnly` field that does
-      not exist and never did.
-- [ ] The Companion contract docs the offscale code cites (`COMMS/OFFSCALE_COMPANION_API.md`,
-      `COMMS/OFFSCALE_INVITE_ENROLLMENT.md`) exist nowhere — `COMMS/` was deleted. Two of the plugin's
-      eight sections depend on a service with no published spec.
-
-**Conventions a plugin author has to guess.** All verified in `discover.ts`/`mount.ts`, none documented
-outside the example's new README:
-
-- [ ] Panel `key`s and layout `appType`s must agree, and a mismatch fails SILENTLY — `PluginScreen.tsx`
-      pins `appTypes.allowed` with `fallback: allowed[0]`, so a typo renders the first panel.
-- [ ] The `<appName>_` table prefix is unenforced. The barrel is `export *` across every plugin into one
-      `public` schema, so two plugins choosing the same unprefixed name collide with no error until push.
-- [ ] A manifest is module-cached for the process lifetime: editing it does nothing until
-      `pm2 restart officer`, and `outdated` cannot see a version bump either.
-- [ ] Permission-key prefixing is convention, not validation. Only a collision with a CORE key is refused,
-      silently, at mount, with a console error.
-
-**Genuinely missing.**
-
-- [ ] `plugins/offscale` spawns the `ssh` binary (`sidecar/ssh.ts`) but declares no `osDependencies`, so
-      install never checks for it and the Console fails at runtime instead of refusing at install.
-      `PLUGIN.md:421` already lists it as a host dependency — the manifest is the file that is wrong.
-- [ ] `scripts/reindex-music.ts` resolves its port file from `process.env.DATA_PATH ?? cwd/data`, and
-      `DATA_PATH` stopped being an env var on 2026-08-13. Run from the repo it looks in
-      `platform/data/music/.server` and never finds it. One line.
-- [ ] `plugins/music/web/MusicPlayerHost.tsx` header says it is mounted once in the persistent
-      DashboardLayout; it moved into `MusicDetail`. That is exactly the comment that would mislead
-      someone about why playback stops off-route.
-- [ ] A plugin's `assets/icon.png` is only published while installed, so its real icon is invisible in the
-      store before install. The catalogue's `iconUrl` works around it, and an author has to know to add one.
-
-## Waiting on the owner to run it
-
-- [ ] **The AI usage panel works for one account; the multi-account half is unproven.** Landed and verified
-      live 2026-08-18 — click the harness pill in the chat composer and it shows Claude Code's own usage
-      display, limits with countdowns, tokens by day and by model.
-
-      What is NOT proven is the reason it was built: a second Anthropic login, the account tabs, and a
-      stored row surviving a switch. **Group C of `docs/ai-usage-panel.md`** is that, and test 10 is the one
-      most likely to be wrong — a refresh must not overwrite an account it could not measure, and that
-      failure is silent.
-
-      Deliberately deferred rather than forgotten: the owner switches accounts when the work needs it, and
-      the worst case is one wrong tab. Run Group C the first time a second login lands on this machine.
-
-      Also unexercised: the model dropdown no longer renders the literal string `claude-code` for a chat
-      that named no tier. Needs `officer-claude-code` restarted, not just `officer` — the parser in the
-      sidecar is what emits it.
-
-- [ ] **Plan mode is live and has never been exercised.** Landed `1b811dfa` on 2026-08-17; all three
-      processes were restarted the same evening, so the code IS running. Not one part of it has been used:
-      not the toggle, not the plan card, not the round trip from the sidecar's pending promise to a browser
-      and back, not the stored column, not `settleAllPlans`.
-
-      **`docs/chat-plan-mode-test-plan.md` is the checklist** — eleven ordered tests, what each should show,
-      and what its failure looks like. Test 4 (approve) is the one most likely to be wrong: it is the case
-      that changed the design, because approving `ExitPlanMode` drops the harness into `default` rather than
-      back into `bypassPermissions`.
-
-      Safe to leave untested. Plan mode is opt-in and off by default, so a conversation that never touches
-      the toggle behaves exactly as it did before. The one failure worth knowing in advance is a turn that
-      never ends after a plan is answered — that would be a leaked `canUseTool` promise, and
-      `pm2 restart officer-claude-code` clears it.
-
-      Design and the probe results behind it: `docs/chat-plan-mode.md`.
-
-## Known bugs
-
-- [ ] **Background job logs appeared INSIDE an open file in the code editor.** Reported 2026-08-16 by the
-      owner, on the production host, running as a member with a `bun dev` background job streaming. The
-      editor had a file open; the runner's log output was rendered into that file's buffer. **It was never
-      saved** — the file on disk was intact, and the editor was not marked dirty as far as the report goes.
-      So this is a DISPLAY-layer mixing, not a write path: the bytes reached a buffer that only exists in
-      the browser.
-
-      Not reproduced, not diagnosed, and deliberately not guessed at further than this. What is worth
-      recording is where the two streams could meet, because both were added in the same week and they are
-      the only two things writing text into a panel:
-
-      - `useTaskDetail` polls `GET /chat/tasks/:id` every 2s while a job runs and returns `{kind:'log', text}`.
-        `CodeSurface` renders it — and `CodeSurface` is shared with the editor's own surfaces.
-      - The editor keys open files by PATH (`useEditorState`), while the task panel keys by TASK ID, and
-        several panel-scoped stores in between are keyed by `panelId` through `useGlobal` /
-        `usePanelMemory`. A key collision between those namespaces would produce exactly this: one panel's
-        text arriving in another's buffer, with no server involvement and nothing persisted.
-
-      **Screenshot 2026-08-16 answers the first question and kills two theories.** The tab carries a DIRTY
-      dot, and the log lines have Monaco line numbers continuing the file's own sequence (…180, then eight
-      lines of dotenv/POSTGRES_URL output, then 189 `</Link>`). So the MODEL was mutated — this is the
-      editor's content state, not its render, and the earlier "the file was okay" means it was simply never
-      saved. Note the splice is mid-file, not a replacement: JSX text and log text share line 180
-      (`Forgot?--env-file=.env --watch src/server.tsx`).
-
-      Ruled out by that: `CodeSurface` renders with shiki, not Monaco, so the two cannot share an editor
-      instance. And the app's only other Monaco mount (`FileViewer/renderers/EditorRenderer.tsx`) passes no
-      `path`, so its model URI is `inmemory://model/N` and cannot collide with the editor's `file:///…`.
-
-      So the pollution arrives as TEXT through the editor's own content path — `openFile`, `setContent`, or
-      the end-of-turn refresh that re-reads every clean file. That last one is the prime suspect: it is the
-      only thing that writes a buffer without a keystroke, it runs exactly when a background job is
-      producing output, and it lands its result by path.
-
-      **Narrowed 2026-08-16, and a trap is now set.** `reloadFile` sets `originalContent` and clears
-      `isDirty`, so the end-of-turn refresh CANNOT produce the dirty dot in the screenshot — the refresh
-      path is out. Nothing in the app injects text into the page either: no `execCommand('insertText')`,
-      no synthetic keyboard events, no clipboard writes near the editor. That leaves Monaco's own change
-      event, which means it looks like a paste or a programmatic `executeEdits`.
-
-      **`docs/editor-buffer-corruption.md` is the procedure — read that when someone reports this.** A
-      trap is set: `reportSuspiciousEdit` in CodeEditor.tsx records any insertion over 200 characters
-      arriving while the editor is NOT focused, with the stack at that moment, into
-      `localStorage['officer:editor-buffer-trap']` (last five). It persists rather than only logging
-      because this arrives as a report hours later, when the console is long gone — the question becomes
-      "paste this key" instead of "what did you see?". Delete all of it once the cause is known.
-
-      One thing to rule out first, because it is mine and it is recent: `2b70a570` gave `<Editor>` a real
-      `path`, so models are now keyed by file URI globally rather than being per-mount `inmemory://`. Two
-      panels open on the same file now share one model. That should be an improvement, but it is a change
-      in exactly the layer that turned out to be involved.
-
-      Worth noting because it is the reason to look at all: an editor that can show content the file does
-      not contain is a correctness problem even when it never writes — the next person's instinct will be to
-      save the file to "fix" it.
-
-- [ ] **`bootstrap.ts` runs `npm install -g` for Pi on every boot.** `findPiPackageDir` checks stale
-      paths and an outdated package name, so `installPi` always fires and floods the logs with
-      `EEXIST` noise. Should detect `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` at the real npm prefix.
-
-- [x] **VNC mirror can orphan/duplicate x11vnc across sidecar restarts.** FIXED 2026-08-01 in the
-      Xvnc rewrite. The diagnosis was right and survived the move off mirroring: the running desktop is
-      tracked in module-level state, so a sidecar restart forgot it while the server kept running
-      orphaned, and `waitForPort` treated ANY listener on 5900 as success — so the next start reported
-      success while the browser talked to the stale process. Now `reclaimPort` frees 5900 (TERM, then
-      KILL after 2s) before spawning, and `waitForPort` also fails if the process we spawned has
-      exited, so a listener that is not ours can no longer be mistaken for a healthy start.
-
-## Infra (alpha)
-
-- [ ] **Delete `/etc/systemd/system/officer-vnc.service`.** Hand-installed unit (not in this repo)
-      that ran `vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1080 -localhost yes -fg` with `Restart=on-failure`,
-      enabled at boot — it kept a whole parallel XFCE session alive on `:1` (283 MB, 166 tasks)
-      independently of the platform, and silently respawned it whenever the display was killed.
-      Obsolete now that the Desktop panel mirrors `:0` via x11vnc. Disabled 2026-07-15
-      (`systemctl disable --now`), but the unit file is still on disk. Nothing in the codebase
-      recreates it and nothing documents it, so delete the file rather than leave a mystery service
-      one `systemctl enable` away from returning.
-
-- [ ] **`ufw` blocks port 9010 on the LAN.** Default deny incoming; only `22/tcp`, `80/tcp`,
-      `443/tcp`, and everything on `tailscale0` are allowed — so `http://192.168.47.196:9010` is
-      unreachable from the LAN while localhost and Tailscale work.
-      Fix: `sudo ufw allow from 192.168.47.0/24 to any port 9010 proto tcp`
-
-- [ ] **Move the remaining env credentials into the secret store.** `putSecret`/`getSecret` and
-      `bun run secret:set` landed 2026-08-19, and notify now reads `apns-p8`, `apns-key-id`,
-      `apns-team-id`, `fcm-service-account` and `discord-webhook` from the store with env as a
-      fallback. Every other plugin credential is still env-only — same argument applies: bun
-      auto-loads `.env` into every PM2 process, so each one is readable from `/proc/<pid>/environ`
-      of twenty processes that have no business with it.
-
-## Backburner
-
-- [ ] **Four foreign keys are over Postgres's 63-character limit and re-create on every `db:push`.**
-      Found 2026-08-19 while pushing `chat_notification_prefs`. Not a blocker and not causing trouble:
-      eight extra statements per push, no prompt, no data touched — the same harmless churn already
-      documented for `pk_music_now_playing`, and recorded here only so the next person reading a push
-      plan knows it is not their change.
-
-          command_hq_session_tags_session_row_id_command_hq_sessions_id_fk      64
-          command_hq_watcher_fires_session_row_id_command_hq_sessions_id_fk     65
-          bitcoin_wallet_frozen_utxos_wallet_id_bitcoin_wallet_wallets_id_fk    66
-          bitcoin_wallet_chain_cache_wallet_id_bitcoin_wallet_wallets_id_fk     65
-
-      The fix is the one `src/databases/CLAUDE.md` already prescribes and these four missed — declare
-      them with `foreignKey({ name: 'fk_…', … })` under 63 characters, exactly as
-      `fk_user_integrations_server_integration` was. **Renaming a constraint is not a data change**, but
-      it does mean one push where the old name drops and the new one is added, so do it deliberately
-      rather than folded into an unrelated change. Note the two bitcoin-wallet ones live in that
-      plugin's own repository (`plugins/bitcoin-wallet/db/schema.ts`), so this spans two repos and the
-      plugin half only churns on a host where that plugin is installed.
-
-- [ ] **Music tagging feature** (`/music`, Mp3tag-inspired). v1 was scoped as a two-panel workspace —
-      file browser left, table right, single "Load" context-menu item flattening audio files into the
-      table. Discarded before completion; would need `GET /file-browser/flatten-audio`, a
-      `useFilesAPI.flattenAudio` method, and the Music app panel rebuilt from scratch.

+# 2026.08.21.01
+
+The first release under this scheme, and the first deploy of the night's work. Everything since
+`0.1.0`, which is to say everything.
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **Two plugins extracted**: `desktop` (VNC) and `browser` (the relay, its extension and its panels),
+  with the platform losing the VNC vocabulary it should never have had.
+- **Themes regenerated** — all 22 from Omarchy, 84 tokens each, contrast-checked. The eleven that
+  shipped with 34 of an 84-token contract are replaced.
+- **Spotlight**, on `shift-space`.
+- **Chat fixes**: a turn waiting on a person is no longer killed as stalled, and an answer that goes
+  nowhere now says so.
+- **Plugin infrastructure**: `importFresh` (a reinstalled plugin was being read from the deleted one),
+  `ownerOnly` paths, dependency `scope`, extensions published unauthenticated, `plugins:update`.
+- An **Update button** in maintenance, and the **sub-agent budget guard**.
+
+## Steps, in order, on every host
+
+Same on all six — nothing here is host-specific.
+
+1. `git pull --ff-only`
+2. `bun install` — **required.** `bun.lock` changed and `sharp` was removed from the platform's
+   dependencies (it moved into atelier's `npmDependencies`). Without this the lockfile and the tree
+   disagree, and the frozen-lockfile rule turns that into a failed install later rather than now.
+3. `bun run plugins:update`
+4. `bun db:push` — **required.** `users.username` becomes `NOT NULL` and gains a case-insensitive
+   unique index.
+5. `pm2 restart officer`
+6. Then, and only for hosts that have them: `pm2 restart officer-claude-code officer-pty` — both load
+   changed sidecar code. **Not** the whole ecosystem, ever.
+
+## The one thing that could have gone wrong, and did not
+
+`db:push` refuses if any account has a null username, or if two differ only by case. **Checked on all
+six before writing this**: 12 users across the fleet, zero nulls, zero case-collisions. If a future
+host fails here, that is why, and the fix is data rather than schema.
+
+## Post-deploy check
+
+`pm2 jlist` — every restarted process `online` with a moved `restart_time`, and the platform's own
+domain answering 200. `docs/servers.md` has the domain per host.

+
+`bun install` reported no changes everywhere — the lockfile diff was `sharp` leaving, and nothing had
+it as a transitive need.
+
+## What was NOT done, and why
+
+- **`officer-claude-code` was not restarted on `officer-dev`.** That sidecar holds the session doing
+  the deploy; restarting it would have ended the conversation mid-rollout. Every other host got it.
+  **Outstanding — run it when convenient.**
+- **`fofos` did not sync its capabilities.** `git` refused the checkout as "dubious ownership" and
+  printed the usual `safe.directory` remedy. Ownership is actually correct (`pastilhas:pastilhas`,
+  running as `pastilhas`), so the cause is not what the message suggests and papering over it with a
+  config entry would hide a real question. Its one plugin updated fine. **Unexplained.**
+- **`macbookpro` has no plugins installed**, so `plugins:update` was a no-op there. Not a failure —
+  worth knowing before someone expects the browser relay on it.
+
+## Notes for the next one
+
+- **The dirty-tree check was too strict.** `git status --porcelain` counts UNTRACKED files, and
+  `fofos` was skipped on the first pass for one stray `scripts/chk.ts` that a fast-forward could never
+  touch. The rule is `--untracked-files=no`; untracked files get a note, not a skip.
+  `prompts/deploy-commander.md` says "refuse a dirty tree" and should say which kind.
+- **`macbookpro` needs `$SHELL -ic` and nothing else.** Exporting a PATH to reach `bun` broke `pm2`,
+  which is only on the interactive shell's path. Do not help it.
+- **The pre-flight was worth it.** `users.username` became `NOT NULL` with a case-insensitive unique
+  index; checked across all six first — 12 users, zero nulls, zero collisions — so `db:push` applied
+  everywhere without a data fix.

+Command HQ made usable: a commander's transcript renders, and Live separates commanders from the
+conversations somebody is having.
+
+Frontend and one chat API route. **No schema change, no dependency change** — verified against
+`deploy/2026.08.21.01..HEAD`: nothing touched `src/schema.ts`, `package.json` dependencies or `bun.lock`.
+So there is no `db:push` and no `bun install` in this plan, and a host that runs one has run something
+this release did not ask for.
+
+## What is in it
+
+- Three separate defects that each made a commander's conversation invisible: the pane navigated to
+  officer's session key instead of Claude's transcript id, then remounted and discarded the live chat at
+  the end of the first turn, then seeded `useChat` with messages that had not arrived yet.
+- Live splits into `Agents (n)` / `Commanders (n)`, and `/chat/live` now carries `isCommander` so a client

+
+Every host was clean of TRACKED changes and every pull was a real fast-forward. `pm2 jlist` after each
+restart showed zero processes in any state other than `online`, so nothing was collaterally bounced.
+
+Checkout paths were taken from each `officer` process's `pm_cwd`, not assumed — so `alpha`'s stale
+second checkout at `~/dockers/officer.dev/platform` was never touched.
+
+## What was NOT done, and why
+
+- **`officer-dev` was skipped completely** — no pull, no `plugins:update`, no restart. This session runs
+  inside `officer-claude-code` on it, and its `officer` process would have been restarted out from under
+  the rollout. Its checkout is already at `55ecbf4f` (the tag was cut here), so **the code is present and
+  the running process is a build behind**. `pm2 restart officer` on `officer-dev`, when the owner is happy
+  with the rest, finishes this release. **Outstanding.**
+
+- **`deadpool-rezio-bridge` was two releases behind, not one.** It came in at `bd41dff5` — the
+  `deploy/2026.08.21.01` commit — while every other host was at `eee73e77`. The fast-forward carried both,
+  14 files, and it is now level. Nothing was wrong with it; it simply had not had the interim commits.
+
+- **`fofos` still cannot sync its capabilities.** Same `dubious ownership` refusal as `2026.08.21.01`,
+  same unexplained cause, still not papered over with a `safe.directory` entry. New this time and probably
+  the same root: its gitea plugin could not publish affordances —
+  `EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/pastilhas/officerdev/capabilities/affordances/officerdev'`.
+  Both point at that capabilities checkout being owned by somebody other than `pastilhas`, which is worth
+  one `stat` before the next deploy. `plugins:update` exited 0 and the plugin itself updated. **Unexplained,
+  and now costing two things instead of one.**
+
+- **`fofos` carries one untracked file**, `scripts/chk.ts`. A note, not a skip — that is the rule the last
+  report asked for and it worked.
+
+- **No `bun install` and no `db:push` ran anywhere.** The plan says this release needs neither.
+
+## Notes for the next one
+
+- **`macbookpro` needs the PATH helped after all — carefully.** The last report said "`$SHELL -ic` and
+  nothing else"; that is right for `pm2` and wrong for `bun`. `bun` is at `/opt/homebrew/bin/bun`, and
+  `.zshrc` does not put `/opt/homebrew/bin` on the interactive PATH, so `bun run plugins:update` failed
+  `command not found` before it ran a line. What works is **appending** that one directory for that one
+  command (`export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin`) and running `pm2` as a separate command. Appending
+  shadows nothing — `pm2` stays at `~/.local/bin/pm2` and `node` at `node@22`. **Replacing** the PATH is
+  what broke `pm2` last time. `docs/servers.md` says "do not help the PATH" and should say "append, never
+  replace, and only for `bun`".
+
+- **`$SHELL -ic` on `macbookpro` also aliases `ls` to `eza`**, which is not installed, so a probe using
+  `ls` reports a missing file that is plainly there. Use `command ls` or a plain non-interactive shell for
+  file tests.
+
+- **`plugins:update` restarts sidecars itself.** It prints `sidecar: started` per plugin, so on `alpha`
+  twelve sidecars bounced during step 3 — before the plan's restart step, and not something the plan asked

+# 2026.08.21.03 — a drill
+
+**No code change.** This release exists to watch the watcher fire, and to exercise the claim rule that
+landed after the last one.
+
+There is nothing to bump but the version and this file, and that is deliberate rather than lazy: a tag
+whose `package.json` disagrees with it makes the commander stop, and a tag with no plan beside it makes it
+stop too, so the smallest honest release is still a version and a plan.
+
+## What is being tested
+
+- The watcher noticing a tag and spawning an agent on its own, with nobody watching the composer.
+- `scripts/deploy-claim.sh` taking the claim before anything is deployed, and the deploy recording success
+  through the same script.
+- A second pass over the same version being refused rather than repeated.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git pull --ff-only`
+2. `bun run plugins:update`
+3. `pm2 restart officer`
+
+`officer` only. No `bun install`, no `db:push` — nothing in this range touches a schema, a dependency or
+the lockfile, and `git diff deploy/2026.08.21.02..HEAD` is two files.
+
+## Then check
+
+`pm2 jlist`: `officer` is `online` and its `restart_time` moved. Nothing else restarted.
+
+`scripts/deploy-claim.sh state 2026.08.21.03` says `done`.

+# 2026.08.21.03 — deployed
+
+**6/6 hosts.** Every platform the plan reaches is on `3343b21a`, `officer` restarted and back `online`,
+and no other process on any host was left in a state other than `online`.
+
+`officer-dev` is the seventh platform and was **skipped entirely** — it is the host this deploy ran on.
+See below; its skip is now two releases deep.
+
+This was a drill. The release changes `package.json` and adds its own plan file, nothing else, and it
+exists to watch the claim rule work. It did: `scripts/deploy-claim.sh claim 2026.08.21.03` was taken
+before any host was touched, and `state` reads `done`.
+
+## The release
+
+Tag `deploy/2026.08.21.03` → `3343b21a`; `package.json` at that commit says `2026.08.21.03`. They agree.
+Plan: `deploy/2026.08.21.03.md` — pull, `plugins:update`, restart `officer` only. No `bun install`, no
+`db:push`, and neither ran anywhere.
+
+| Host                         | Before     | After      | plugins        | restarted | restart_time | back    |
+| ---------------------------- | ---------- | ---------- | -------------- | --------- | ------------ | ------- |
+| `alpha`                      | `55ecbf4f` | `3343b21a` | 12/12          | officer   | 61 → 62      | online  |
+| `fofos`                      | `55ecbf4f` | `3343b21a` | 1/1            | officer   | 16 → 17      | online  |
+| `macbookpro`                 | `55ecbf4f` | `3343b21a` | none installed | officer   | 3 → 4        | online  |
+| `edge-pertento-bridge`       | `55ecbf4f` | `3343b21a` | 2/2            | officer   | 5 → 6        | online  |
+| `production-pertento-bridge` | `55ecbf4f` | `3343b21a` | 1/1            | officer   | 7 → 8        | online  |
+| `deadpool-rezio-bridge`      | `55ecbf4f` | `3343b21a` | none installed | officer   | 1 → 2        | online  |
+| `officer-dev`                | `3343b21a` | `3343b21a` | not run        | **none**  | 155          | skipped |
+
+Every host came in at `55ecbf4f` — the previous release, level for the first time in three deploys — and
+every pull was a real fast-forward. Checkout paths were taken from each `officer` process's `pm_cwd`, so
+`alpha`'s stale second checkout at `~/dockers/officer.dev/platform` was never touched. `macbookpro` was
+awake.
+
+**More than `officer` restarted, and the plan did not ask for it.** `bun run plugins:update` bounces each
+plugin's sidecar as it goes: twelve on `alpha`, two on `edge`, one each on `fofos` and
+`production-pertento-bridge`. Every one came back `online`. Nothing was left down.
+
+## What was NOT done, and why
+
+- **`officer-dev` was skipped completely** — no pull (it is already at the tag, which was cut here), no
+  `plugins:update`, no restart. This session runs inside `officer-claude-code` on it, and restarting
+  `officer` there ends the rollout mid-flight.
+
+  **Its running process is now two releases old.** `restart_time` is 155, unchanged since before
+  `2026.08.21.02` — so the same restart the last report left outstanding is still outstanding, and it now
+  carries both releases. The code for both is on disk. `pm2 restart officer` on `officer-dev` finishes
+  them, whenever the owner wants it. **Outstanding, and no longer new.**
+
+- **`fofos` still cannot sync its capabilities.** Third deploy running, same two failures, same
+  unexplained cause:
+
+  - `capabilities: failed — fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at
+    '/home/pastilhas/officerdev/capabilities'`
+  - `affordances: NOT published — EACCES: permission denied, mkdir
+    '/home/pastilhas/officerdev/capabilities/affordances/officerdev'`
+
+  Both say that checkout is not owned by `pastilhas`. Still not papered over with a `safe.directory`
+  entry, because a `safe.directory` line would silence the first message and leave the `EACCES` — they are
+  one cause, and one `stat` settles it. `plugins:update` exited 0 and the gitea plugin itself updated, so
+  this costs capability sync on that host and nothing else. **Unexplained.**
+
+- **`fofos` still carries one untracked file**, `scripts/chk.ts`. A note, not a skip — the rule works.
+
+- **No `bun install` and no `db:push` ran anywhere.** The plan says this release needs neither, and
+  `deploy/2026.08.21.02..deploy/2026.08.21.03` is two files.
+
+- **Nothing was verified beyond `pm2`.** `officer` is `online` with a moved `restart_time` on all six
+  hosts; no HTTP request was made to any domain. That is what the plan asked to check.
+
+## Notes for the next one
+
+- **The `macbookpro` PATH rule in `docs/servers.md` is now correct and was followed as written.**
+  `export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin` for the `bun` command, `pm2` as a separate command, and both
+  worked first time. Nothing to change.
+
+- **`$SHELL -ic "pm2 jlist"` with stderr discarded came back empty once**, on `edge-pertento-bridge`, and
+  the same command with `2>&1` a second later returned the full list. Transient, and it looked exactly
+  like a dead pm2. Capture stderr and parse the JSON out of the stream rather than trusting the whole of
+  stdout to be JSON — an interactive shell puts its own noise (`starship`, aliases) in there.
+
+- **`officer-dev`'s skip needs a home other than a report.** It has been carried forward twice now, and a
+  report is not a place work waits — the next deploy will write the same paragraph. Either the owner
+  restarts it, or it belongs in `TODO.md`.

+`/login` in the chat window, switching between Anthropic accounts from the usage pills, and a Spotlight
+that can actually reach the plugins.
+
+**This release has a SCHEMA CHANGE.** The previous two did not, and said so; this one adds
+`anthropic_accounts`. Without the push, `GET /api/claude-auth/accounts` fails on a missing relation the
+first time the usage panel is opened — so `bun db:push` is a step here, not an optional tidy.
+
+No dependency change: nothing in `deploy/2026.08.21.03..HEAD` touches `package.json` dependencies or
+`bun.lock`. Do not run `bun install`.
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **`/login` works in the chat composer.** `claude auth login` behaves the same through plain pipes as
+  through a terminal, so it is a subprocess with two reads and one write — no pty. Copy-link beside the
+  open-link button, because opening it here opens it in the browser already signed into the account you are
+  leaving.
+- **Account switching from the usage pills.** `anthropic_accounts` keeps each login's OAuth credential
+  encrypted under a per-account key from the secret store, so a switch needs no browser round trip. An
+  account with no saved credential still gets a chip you can read — cached percentages and a correct reset
+  time — marked as needing `/login`.
+- **Spotlight reached eight items.** Core filled all eight slots, so on a populated server every plugin was
+  unreachable. The cap is gone, rows draw the dock's own tiles, and the settings list went from nine
+  hand-written rows to twenty read off the screens that declare them.
+- The ephemeral pane opens from the markup rather than an effect.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git pull --ff-only`
+2. **`bun db:push`** — new this release, see above
+3. `bun run plugins:update`
+4. `pm2 restart officer`
+
+`officer` only; no sidecar changed. Restarting it rebuilds the SPA, which is what ships the frontend.
+
+**`alpha` is already at this code**, deployed by hand as a preview before the tag. Its pull will be a
+no-op and that is expected — run the remaining steps anyway rather than skipping the host, so its
+`restart_time` moves with everyone else's.
+
+**On `macbookpro`, append to the PATH for `bun`** — `export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin` — and run `pm2`
+as a separate command. `docs/servers.md` has the detail; replacing the PATH is what broke `pm2` on an

+
+## Per host
+
+### `alpha` — succeeded
+
+- HEAD `3cab16ca` → `98177c3b`. Tree clean, no untracked files.
+- The pull moved only `deploy/2026.08.21.04.md` and `package.json`: the code was already there from the
+  hand deploy the plan describes. Expected, and the remaining steps ran anyway.
+- `db:push` — changes applied. `anthropic_accounts` verified present by direct query.
+- `plugins:update` — 12/12 updated in 44s, exit 0. **Twelve sidecars restarted by that step**: atelier,
+  bitcoin-wallet, email, gitea, invoices, jellyfin, music, offscale, photos, soulseek, transmission,
+  vault. That is the script's own behaviour, not something the plan asked for.
+- `pm2 restart officer` — `restart_time` 63 → 64, `online`.
+
+### `fofos` — succeeded
+
+- HEAD `3343b21a` → `98177c3b`. No tracked changes.
+- **Untracked file present: `scripts/chk.ts`.** Left alone — a fast-forward cannot touch it, and it is
+  not a reason to skip a host.
+- `db:push` — changes applied. `anthropic_accounts` verified by direct query.
+- `plugins:update` — 1/1 (gitea), exit 0. One sidecar restarted: `officer-gitea`.
+- `pm2 restart officer` — 17 → 18, `online`.
+- The capabilities ownership fault recorded in `docs/servers.md` did not recur: `capabilities: pulled`.
+
+### `macbookpro` — succeeded
+
+- HEAD `b10a49c0` → `98177c3b`. Tree clean.
+- Awake and reachable; no skip needed.
+- `bun` reached with `export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin` appended for the `bun` commands only, `pm2`
+  run as a separate command, per the plan and `docs/servers.md`.
+- `db:push` — changes applied.
+- `plugins:update` — "no plugins installed — nothing to update", exit 0. No sidecar restarted.
+- `pm2 restart officer` — 4 → 5, `online`.
+- **The one thing not verified here:** `psql` is not on this machine's PATH under any prefix tried, so
+  `anthropic_accounts` was confirmed only by `db:push` reporting "Changes applied", not by querying the
+  table. Every other host was checked directly.
+- Cosmetic noise from the interactive shell: `.zshrc:123: command not found: starship`. Harmless, and
+  unrelated to the deploy.
+
+### `edge-pertento-bridge` — succeeded
+
+- HEAD `3343b21a` → `98177c3b`. Tree clean.
+- `db:push` — changes applied. `anthropic_accounts` verified by direct query.

+- `pm2 restart officer` — 2 → 3, `online`.
+
+### `officer-dev` — SKIPPED, deliberately
+
+Not pulled, no schema push, no plugin update, nothing restarted. This agent is a session inside
+`officer-claude-code` on this machine, and restarting `officer` here ends the rollout mid-report. The
+host is therefore one release behind the other six until the owner deploys it by hand — checkout
+`~/officer-dev/platform`, and its working tree is already at `98177c3b` plus this report.
+
+---
+
+## What was checked, and how
+
+- Every checkout path came from PM2 (`officer`'s `pm_cwd`), not from the table — so `alpha`'s second,
+  stale checkout was never a candidate.
+- `pm2 jlist` after each restart: `officer` `online` with `restart_time` moved, on all six.
+- A full sweep for anything not `online` on all six hosts afterwards: **none**. No process came back
+  `errored`, including the sixteen sidecars that `plugins:update` bounced across four hosts.
+- `anthropic_accounts` queried directly with `to_regclass` on five hosts; on `macbookpro` only the
+  `db:push` output stands behind it.
+
+## What was not done
+
+- `officer-dev` — the whole host, as above.
+- No host was skipped for a dirty tree; none had tracked changes.
+- No process other than `officer` was restarted by this agent. The sidecars that moved were restarted by
+  `plugins:update` itself.
+- `bun install` was not run anywhere, per the plan.

+
+**No schema change and no dependency change.** Verified against `deploy/2026.08.21.04..HEAD`: nothing
+touches a `databases/*/schema.ts`, `package.json` dependencies or `bun.lock`. So **no `bun db:push` and no
+`bun install`** — a host that runs either has run something this release did not ask for. Note that the
+previous release DID need a push; that was `anthropic_accounts` and it is already applied everywhere.
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **The theme collection.** 147 ports from omarchythemes.com, then 44 more rescued by supporting
+  `colors.toml` and `0x`-prefixed hex, then a fix to accent/secondary foreground derivation across 202 of
+  them. This is the bulk of the diff: 229 files, ~22.5k lines, almost all data.
+- **Spotlight.** Opens on **alt-space** and nothing else, from anywhere including a focused text field.
+  The eight-item cap is gone — core items filled it, so every plugin tile was unreachable on a populated
+  server. Rows draw the dock's own tiles, and the settings list went from nine hand-written entries to
+  twenty read off the screens that declare them.
+- **Prompt history.** Up/Down only recall from an empty composer, and any other keystroke ends a recall —
+  so a half-written thought is never swapped for one from last week.
+- **The email plugin's multi-account backend**, which arrives via `plugins:update` rather than through this
+  repository. `?account=<id>` names a mailbox, `?account=all` spans them. **Absent is unchanged**, so
+  nothing that calls those routes today behaves differently — including the mobile app and the agent's
+  `email_db` tool. Only hosts with the email plugin installed are affected at all.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git pull --ff-only` — larger than usual, ~22.5k lines of theme data
+2. `bun run plugins:update`
+3. `pm2 restart officer`
+
+`officer` only. Step 2 restarts each plugin's own sidecar, which is that script's behaviour and worth
+recording in the report rather than omitting.
+
+**`macbookpro`:** append `/opt/homebrew/bin` to PATH for the `bun` commands and run `pm2` separately. See
+`docs/servers.md` — replacing the PATH is what broke `pm2` on an earlier deploy.
+
+## `officer-dev` — skip it, and do NOT report it as behind
+
+The commander runs there and skips its own host, as always. But this time the host is **already on this
+code**: `officer` was restarted there many times during the night as the work landed, so it is running the
+tree this tag names rather than lagging. Report it as skipped and current, not skipped and stale.
+
+## Then check
+
+`pm2 jlist`: `officer` is `online` and `restart_time` moved. Nothing `errored`, including the sidecars step
+2 bounced.

+### `officer-dev` — SKIPPED, and current
+
+The commander runs here, inside `officer-claude-code`. Nothing was pulled and nothing restarted.
+
+It is **not behind**: `deploy/2026.08.22.01` is an ancestor of the local HEAD. The checkout is in fact
+**two commits past** the tag — `c9823533` and `0c2ff88c`, neither on `origin` when this ran — written by
+another agent working in this same tree during the rollout. Its work was left alone; only this report was
+staged, by path.
+
+Worth knowing rather than discovering: **pushing this report carries those two commits to `origin/master`
+with it**, because they are its ancestors. Nothing was deployed from them — every host in this rollout is
+at `78db9c8c`, the tag — but the next release will include them.
+
+`officer` here is `online` at `restart_time` 180, running the tree this tag names.
+
+## Verification
+
+- **Every restarted process came back.** `pm2 jlist` re-read on each host after the restart: `officer`
+  `online` with `restart_time` incremented, and no process anywhere in state `errored` or `stopped`.
+- **The theme data landed.** The release is mostly data, so a bad file shows up as a missing or unreadable
+  theme rather than a failed boot. All six hosts carry **227** theme CSS files under
+  `src/workspaces/theme/css/themes/`, matching the release tree exactly.
+- `scripts/deploy-claim.sh state 2026.08.22.01` → `done`.
+
+## What was not done
+
+- **`officer-dev` was skipped entirely** — its own host, by design. The owner restarts it deliberately when
+  happy with the rest. It needs no pull.
+- **No theme was loaded through a UI.** The plan asks that a theme picker still lists themes and one loads.
+  A commander cannot click. The file-count check above is the substitute, and it is weaker: it proves the
+  files arrived, not that each parses.

+# 2026.08.22.02
+
+Theme favourites, a shortcuts modal on `Ctrl+?`, Command HQ rebuilt into two columns, 27 tests on the
+authorization resolver, and the email plugin's multi-account backend.
+
+**SCHEMA CHANGE.** `theme_favorites` is new, so `bun db:push` is a step. Without it, opening the theme
+dropdown fails on a missing relation the first time it reads a starred list.
+
+**No dependency change** — nothing in `deploy/2026.08.22.01..HEAD` touches `package.json` dependencies or
+`bun.lock`. Do not run `bun install`.
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **Theme favourites**, per account, in `theme_favorites`. Star from the dropdown, from the browser
+  (`f`), or from anywhere (`Ctrl+Shift+F`). The lists rotate to the theme you are wearing rather than
+  sorting it to the top, so neighbours survive.
+- **`Ctrl+?`** renders every shell shortcut from a registry — `state/shortcuts.ts` — ported in shape from
+  the owner's `vimazing`.
+- **Spotlight is on `Shift+Space`.** It was `alt-space` in the last release. `Ctrl+Space` cannot work:
+  Brave claims it at the browser level and the key never reaches the page.
+- **Command HQ is two columns** — navigation stacked into one 24% rail, transcript at 76%. **It migrates a
+  saved layout on load**, so anyone who has opened that screen will see their arrangement replaced once.
+  That is deliberate; the screen is `locked` and the only user contribution was column sizes.
+- **27 tests on `permissions/authorize.ts`**, which had none. Its decisions are now pure functions, split
+  from the database calls. No behaviour change.
+- **`assertPermissionTotality` reads the sockets that are served**, generated from one `WS_ROUTES`
+  declaration, instead of a parallel list of handlers.
+- **The email plugin's multi-account backend**, via `plugins:update` — `?account=<id>` names a mailbox,
+  `?account=all` spans them, absent is unchanged. Only hosts with that plugin installed are affected.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git pull --ff-only`
+2. **`bun db:push`** — new this release
+3. `bun run plugins:update`
+4. `pm2 restart officer`
+
+`officer` only. Step 3 restarts each plugin's own sidecar; that is the script's behaviour and belongs in the
+report rather than being omitted.
+
+**`macbookpro`:** append `/opt/homebrew/bin` to PATH for the `bun` commands, run `pm2` separately. See
+`docs/servers.md`.
+
+## `officer-dev` — skip it, and it is already current
+
+The commander runs there and skips its own host. That host was restarted repeatedly through the day as this
+work landed, so it is running this tree rather than lagging. Report it as skipped and current.
+
+## Then check
+
+`pm2 jlist`: `officer` is `online` and `restart_time` moved; nothing `errored`.
+
+`theme_favorites` exists — `to_regclass('theme_favorites')` is not null. This is the one step whose absence
+shows up as a broken dropdown rather than a failed boot, so verify it directly where `psql` is available and
+say where it is not.
+
+`scripts/deploy-claim.sh state 2026.08.22.02` says `done`.

+Checkout paths were taken from each `officer` process's `pm_cwd`, not from a hard-coded list.
+
+## Per host
+
+### `officer-dev` — SKIPPED, and current
+
+The commander session runs inside `officer-claude-code` on this machine, so the whole host was skipped as
+the plan and `prompts/deploy-commander.md` both require: no pull, no `db:push`, no `plugins:update`, no
+restart. It was already at `68d60e40` before the rollout started and `theme_favorites` is present, so it is
+running this release rather than lagging. `officer` shows 192 restarts, untouched by this deploy.
+
+**The owner restarts this host deliberately, once happy with the rest.** Strictly nothing is pending on it —
+the tree, the schema and the running process are all already on this release.
+
+### `alpha` — done
+
+Tree clean (tracked and untracked). Pulled `78db9c8c` → `68d60e40`. `bun db:push` applied changes;
+`backfill-session-models` reported 0 seeded, 32 already recorded. `bun run plugins:update` returned
+**12/12 updated in 46s**, exit 0 — and it restarted all twelve plugin sidecars itself (atelier,
+bitcoin-wallet, email, gitea, invoices, jellyfin, music, offscale, photos, soulseek, transmission, vault),
+which is the script's normal behaviour and not something the plan asked for. `pm2 restart officer`: 65 → 66,
+`online`. All 19 processes `online`. `to_regclass('theme_favorites')` returned the table.
+
+### `fofos` — done
+
+Tracked tree clean. **One untracked file, `scripts/chk.ts`** — noted, not a reason to skip, and untouched by
+the fast-forward. Pulled `78db9c8c` → `68d60e40`. `db:push` applied changes (3 transcripts already recorded).
+`plugins:update`: **1/1 (gitea)**, exit 0, its sidecar restarted by the script. `officer` 19 → 20, `online`;
+all 8 processes `online`. `theme_favorites` present.
+
+Note for anyone scripting against this host: its `.env` names the connection `OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL`, not
+`POSTGRES_URL`, and a naive `grep POSTGRES_URL` matches a comment line first. Same on `macbookpro`,
+`edge-pertento-bridge`, `production-pertento-bridge` and `deadpool-rezio-bridge`; `alpha` and `officer-dev`
+use `POSTGRES_URL`.
+
+### `macbookpro` — done, awake
+
+Reachable — not asleep this time. Tree clean. **It was two releases behind**: `9b459b79`, not `78db9c8c`
+like the rest. Pulled straight to `68d60e40`.
+
+`PATH` was appended with `/opt/homebrew/bin` for the `bun` commands and `pm2` run separately, per
+`docs/servers.md`. `db:push` applied changes, exit 0. `plugins:update` exit 0 with **no plugins installed —
+nothing to update**, so no plugin sidecars moved here. `officer` 6 → 7, `online`; all 6 processes `online`.
+
+**`psql` is not installed on this host** — the plan's direct schema check could not be run the way it is
+written. Verified instead through the platform's own `postgres` client (`bun --env-file=.env` against
+`OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL`), which returned `theme_favorites`. Same fact, different tool.
+
+`$SHELL -ic` also prints `command not found: starship` from `.zshrc:123` on every invocation. Cosmetic, and
+unrelated to this release, but it appears in the raw output above every command.
+
+### `edge-pertento-bridge` — done
+
+Tree clean. Pulled `78db9c8c` → `68d60e40`. `db:push` applied changes, exit 0. `plugins:update`: **2/2
+(gitea, offscale)**, exit 0, both sidecars restarted by the script. `officer` 8 → 9, `online`; all 8
+processes `online`. `theme_favorites` present.
+
+### `production-pertento-bridge` — done
+
+Tree clean. Pulled `78db9c8c` → `68d60e40`. `db:push` applied changes, exit 0. `plugins:update`: **1/1
+(gitea)**, exit 0, sidecar restarted by the script. `officer` 10 → 11, `online`; all 15 processes `online`.
+`theme_favorites` present.
+
+### `deadpool-rezio-bridge` — done
+
+Logged in as **`br`**, not `pastilhas`. Tree clean. Pulled `78db9c8c` → `68d60e40`. `db:push` applied
+changes, exit 0. `plugins:update`: **2/2 (email, offscale)**, exit 0, both sidecars restarted by the script.
+`officer` 4 → 5, `online`; all 9 processes `online`. `theme_favorites` present.
+
+## What did not happen
+
+- **No host was skipped for a fault.** The only skip is `officer-dev`, by design.
+- **`bun install` was not run anywhere.** The plan says this release changes no dependency, and the plan is
+  what this agent executes.
+- **Nothing but `officer` was restarted deliberately.** The plugin sidecars that bounced were restarted by
+  `plugins:update` itself — eighteen processes across five hosts, listed per host above. Recording them
+  here rather than reporting only `officer` is the plan's explicit instruction.
+- **The one verification that had to change shape** is `macbookpro`'s schema check, for want of `psql`.
+  Everything else was verified exactly as written.
+
+## Claim record
+
+`scripts/deploy-claim.sh state 2026.08.22.02` → `done`. The local record
+`data/deploys/2026.08.22.02.done` was written before this report was committed, so a push failure here

+
+The commander creation flow, rebuilt end to end — named, given a directory, and started by a button that
+makes it interview you rather than waiting for a prompt somebody else wrote. Plus the delete path that
+actually removes one, `/minesweeper`, and `docs:check` guarding the documentation's checkable claims.
+
+**SCHEMA CHANGE.** `bun db:push` is a step. `command_hq_spawned` is new and `command_hq_sessions` gains
+`name`. Without the push, Command HQ fails on a missing column the first time it lists a commander.
+
+**No dependency change** — `bun.lock` is untouched across `deploy/2026.08.22.02..HEAD`. `package.json`
+moved only to add `engines.bun` and two scripts. **Do not run `bun install`.**
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **A commander is created, not configured.** Name it, choose its working directory, press Start. It reads
+  the directory, works out whether the job is already written down there, and either reads its
+  understanding back for confirmation or asks what it should be watching. The name is the brief — it is the
+  only thing the owner says before anything else, and it now reaches the model instead of only titling the
+  transcript.
+- **`command_hq_sessions.name`** — the platform owns the name. It was only ever in the transcript's summary
+  record, which the harness cannot write until the first turn ends, so the list showed the opening brief
+  while the header showed the real name.
+- **Deleting a commander removes it.** Four defects, each of which left something behind: the session kill
+  ran in the wrong process and always failed; the transcript was deleted while the harness was still
+  writing it, so it came straight back as an untitled chat; `chat_session_events` is keyed on officer's
+  session key while everything else uses the transcript id, so its rows were never matched; and the key was
+  resolved from an in-memory map that is empty for anything older than the process. The event rows carry
+  both ids, so they are asked when the maps cannot answer.
+- **`GET /chat/live?kind=`** — `agent` (the default), `commander`, or `all`, with `counts` always
+  describing the whole set. Defaulting to agents means a client that forgets cannot be handed a commander;
+  the web list asks for `all` explicitly.
+- **A dropped sidecar command says so.** `sendFire` did nothing when no sidecar was registered — no log, no
+  error — so answering a question during the reconnect window after a restart vanished and the card span
+  forever. Question answers and plan decisions now report it.
+- **`/minesweeper`** — a wine session streamed to the browser over RFB. The session is not running on
+  `officer-dev`, so the route renders its "not running" state with a Start button. That is expected.
+- **Usage limits are read live.** `limitsCache` was keyed on nothing, so switching Anthropic account showed
+  the previous account's percentages under the new name. The cache remains for the failure path only, keyed
+  per account.
+- **`bun docs:check`** compares documented claims against values derived at run time — the permission
+  count, the PM2 entry count, the generated platform skill. It found both claims it was written to check
+  already wrong. **Required before tagging a release.**
+- **Empty transcripts no longer list.** A file holding only harness metadata and no turns is not a
+  conversation; four had accumulated as "(untitled) · 0 msgs".
+- **Bun is held at the 1.3 series** — `engines.bun` and `BUN_SERIES` move together. Do not run
+  `bun upgrade` on a host.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git pull --ff-only`
+2. **`bun db:push`** — new this release
+3. `bun run plugins:update`
+4. `pm2 restart officer`
+
+`officer` only. Step 3 restarts each plugin's own sidecar; that is the script's behaviour and belongs in
+the report rather than being omitted.
+
+**`macbookpro`:** append `/opt/homebrew/bin` to PATH for the `bun` commands, run `pm2` separately. See
+`docs/servers.md`.
+
+## `officer-dev` — skip it
+
+This is the machine the rollout runs from, and restarting `officer` here ends the agent performing it.
+Name it as skipped in the report. It is already current.

+Checkout paths came from each `officer` process's `pm_cwd`, not from a hard-coded list. "Schema ✓" is a

+`command_hq_sessions.name` exists, queried per host against that host's own database.
+
+## Per host
+
+### `officer-dev` — SKIPPED, and current
+
+The commander session runs inside `officer-claude-code` here, so the whole host was skipped as the plan
+requires: no pull, no `db:push`, no `plugins:update`, no restart. It was already at `e6f1388a` and both
+schema objects are present, so it is running this release rather than lagging. `officer` shows 237 restarts,
+untouched by this deploy. Nothing is pending on it — the owner restarts it deliberately if they want to.
+
+### `alpha` — done
+
+Tree clean, tracked and untracked. Pulled `68d60e40` → `e6f1388a`. `bun db:push` applied changes;
+`backfill-session-models` reported 0 seeded. `bun run plugins:update` returned **12/12 updated in 48s**,
+exit 0, and restarted all twelve plugin sidecars itself — atelier, bitcoin-wallet, email, gitea, invoices,
+jellyfin, music, offscale, photos, soulseek, transmission, vault. Then `pm2 restart officer`: 66 → 67,
+`online`. Every other PM2 entry `online`.
+
+### `fofos` — done
+
+Tree clean. Pulled `68d60e40` → `e6f1388a`. `db:push` applied changes. `plugins:update`: **1/1 in 8s**
+(gitea), which restarted `officer-gitea`. `pm2 restart officer`: 20 → 21, `online`. No trace of the
+`dubious ownership` / `EACCES` pair that broke its capabilities sync for three deploys — `capabilities:
+pulled` came back clean, as it has since the 2026-08-21 `chown`.
+
+### `macbookpro` — done
+
+Awake and reachable. Tree clean. Pulled `8b4a5b3b` → `e6f1388a` — two releases behind, so it picked up
+2026.08.22.01 and .02 as well. `db:push` applied changes (3 plugin schemas generated: atelier, kiosk,
+music). `plugins:update`: `no plugins installed — nothing to update`, exit 0. `pm2 restart officer` was run
+as a **separate** command per `docs/servers.md`: 7 → 8, `online`.
+
+`PATH` was appended, never replaced — `export PATH="$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin"` inside the interactive shell,
+so `bun` resolves and `pm2` stays where nvm put it. `.zshrc` still fails on a missing `starship` on every
+non-interactive login; noise, not a fault, and it has been there for at least three deploys.
+
+### `deadpool-rezio-bridge` — done
+
+Logged in as **`br`**, not `pastilhas`. Tree clean. Pulled `68d60e40` → `e6f1388a`. `db:push` applied
+changes. `plugins:update`: **2/2 in 8s** (email, offscale), restarting both sidecars. `pm2 restart officer`:
+5 → 6, `online`.
+
+### `edge-pertento-bridge` — NOT REACHED
+
+**Four attempts, ConnectTimeout up to 60s: `Connection timed out during banner exchange`.** The TCP
+connection succeeds — `nc -z 100.64.0.15 22` reports the port open and `ssh -v` logs `Connection
+established` — and then sshd never sends its version string. Tailscale shows the node `active; direct`, so
+the tunnel is up and this is not a tailnet problem.
+
+That is a host-side sshd or load problem, not a credential one and not a rate-limit one. Nothing was run
+against it: it is still on whatever it was before this release, which I could not read, because reading it
+needs the same handshake. It also did not answer HTTPS on its tailnet address during the probe.
+
+**This host needs a look before the next release**, and the check is one command from anywhere on the
+tailnet — `ssh edge-pertento-bridge hostname`. If it still hangs, the box wants a console.
+
+### `production-pertento-bridge` — NOT REACHED, host key changed
+
+```
+WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!
+The fingerprint for the ED25519 key sent by the remote host is
+SHA256:63S0GKa7eqv2a4cGbT7UqsDqupFrdd+RQsUYJ8Mg1ww
+Offending ECDSA key in /home/pastilhas/.ssh/known_hosts:37
+```
+
+**I did not clear the entry and did not connect.** Accepting a new host key is a trust decision, and a
+deploy agent that removes a `known_hosts` line to get its release out has removed the only warning the
+owner would ever get. `StrictHostKeyChecking` did exactly what it is for.
+
+What is known, all read locally without touching the host:
+
+- `known_hosts` holds three keys for this name: ED25519 `SHA256:dw7kG2MDftuLDT1CduEO+OVYuMVHsx02Cnwikj7GS/4`
+  (line 33), RSA (line 36), ECDSA (line 37, the one ssh names as offending).
+- The host now offers ED25519 `SHA256:63S0GKa7eqv2a4cGbT7UqsDqupFrdd+RQsUYJ8Mg1ww` — a different key from
+  the ED25519 already trusted.
+- Tailscale shows it `active; direct`, port 22 accepts TCP, and it did not answer HTTPS on 100.64.0.12
+  during the probe.
+
+The benign explanation is a rebuild or a regenerated host key — this is `PPROD`, a bridge that has been
+reinstalled before. The other explanation is the one the warning is about. **Settle it out of band**: read
+`ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub` on the machine's own console, compare it to
+`63S0GK…`, and only then drop the stale lines with
+`ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts -R production-pertento-bridge`. Do not compare it over SSH; that is the
+channel in question.
+
+Until then this host is a release behind — it was at `68d60e40` as of the 2026.08.22.02 report.
+
+## What I did not do
+
+- **Did not deploy `edge-pertento-bridge` or `production-pertento-bridge`**, and did not force either.
+  Neither was pulled, neither had a process restarted, and neither has this release's schema.
+- **Did not touch `~/.ssh/known_hosts`.**
+- **Did not run `bun install`** — the plan forbids it and `bun.lock` is unchanged across
+  `deploy/2026.08.22.02..HEAD`.
+- **Did not run `bun run docs:check`** — not the commander's job; it is run before the tag.
+- **Did not restart anything the plan did not name.** `officer` only, per host. The plugin sidecars that
+  bounced were restarted by `plugins:update` itself, which is that script's own behaviour: 12 on `alpha`,
+  1 on `fofos`, 2 on `deadpool-rezio-bridge`.
+- **Did not touch `officer-dev`** at all.
+
+The local record `data/deploys/2026.08.23.01.done` was written before this report, as the protocol requires:
+the record is what prevents a second attempt, and pushing this file is paperwork that is allowed to fail.

+  is expected; it is not a reason to stop, and it is not something to comment on beyond the report.
+

+
+The rollout runs from here and restarting `officer` ends the agent performing it. Name it as skipped.

+# Recall over your own correspondence
+
+**Status: DESIGN, NOT BUILT.** Sketched 2026-08-20, for the email plugin.
+
+## The goal, which is not the technology
+
+Someone is on a phone call with their ex-wife. She says something about the weekend arrangement. He has
+eight years of email with her, and he needs the fact **now** — not after a search, not after reading
+twenty messages.
+
+That is the whole requirement. Everything below is in service of it, and any part of this that does not
+make that moment faster or more accurate is decoration.
+
+The user will never write a query. They ask the agent a question in their own words, and the agent picks
+its tools. So the design question is not "what can the user search" — it is **"what does the agent have
+to work with, and which of its answers can be trusted"**.
+
+## Two mechanisms, because there are two kinds of question
+
+The examples that prompted this split cleanly, and they need different machinery:
+
+| the question                                                     | what it needs                         |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| _"how many times did she ask me to break the weekend agreement"_ | **exhaustion** — every message judged |
+| _"what did she say about the school run"_                        | **retrieval** — the best few, fast    |
+
+```
+COMPILE    exhaustive, once, expensive   → counting, timelines, "show me all of them"
+RETRIEVE   cheap, approximate, always    → exploring, mid-call, "what did she say about…"
+```
+
+They are not competing designs. The agent should have both and choose.
+
+### Counting cannot be done by searching
+
+This is the load-bearing point, and it is the one most likely to be skipped.
+
+An agent asked "how many times" will search, find some, and answer with a number. That number is bounded
+by the phrasings it happened to think of. **"I found four" is indistinguishable from "there were nine"**,
+and nothing in the output signals which it was.
+
+Vector search does not fix this. Top-k also misses — it just misses differently. Ask for the top 20 and
+the 21st is silently gone.
+
+The only honest way to count is to judge every message once and store the verdict. Then counting is
+`SELECT count(*)`: exact, instant, and re-askable a hundred ways without re-reading anything.
+
+**A stored verdict is a judgement a model made about someone's divorce.** It records what it was asked,
+which message it read, and when — so the answer can be inspected, disbelieved and redone. A number with
+no provenance is worse than no number, because it will be quoted.
+
+### Retrieval is where embeddings earn their place
+
+Keyword search finds `school run`. It will never find it from _"the pickup arrangement"_ or _"when I
+collect her on Fridays"_. Over eight years, the same thing is described twenty ways and never once in the
+words you would search for.
+
+An agent closes some of that gap by itself — it knows those are synonyms and can fire several searches.
+But that is **guess-bounded**: it finds the phrasings it thought of, and cannot know the ones it did not.
+
+Two things decide it in favour of embeddings anyway:
+
+- **Latency.** Five keyword searches and twenty candidate reads is thirty seconds. On a live call that is
+  a lost moment. A vector query is milliseconds plus one read.
+- **What comes later.** WhatsApp and audio transcripts share no vocabulary, schema or structure with
+  email. Embeddings collapse all of it into one space. ASR output is noisy in a way keyword search is
+  brittle against and embeddings are not.
+
+**But we do not have WhatsApp or transcripts.** They shape exactly one decision — see the schema — and
+nothing else. Build against email.
+
+## It has to run locally
+
+Every message passes through an embedding model. Doing that through an API means uploading eight years of
+private correspondence to a third party.
+
+For this content that is not a trade-off, it is a disqualification. **Local embedding is a requirement,
+not a preference.**
+
+Today there is no ollama and no embedding code on any of these machines. **That is the real new
+dependency — not the database.**
+
+## Not a vector database
+
+`sqlite-vec` is an extension to the SQLite already in use. Same file as `emails.db`, no service, no
+sidecar, no Docker, no port, nothing to supervise or back up separately.
+
+For a plugin that already owns that file, this is **a table, not an architecture**. A separate vector
+database would add an operational surface for a corpus of 19,000 rows, which is small — vector stores
+begin earning their keep in the millions. What is being bought here is recall on paraphrase and speed on
+a phone call, not scale.
+
+## The genuinely hard part is chunking
+
+Not the vectors. **Quoted reply chains.**
+
+The same paragraph exists in forty messages of one thread. Embed naively and every query returns that
+thread forty times, and it will feel worse than what exists today.
+
+So: strip quoted history, thread properly, embed the new text of each message. `emails` already has
+`thread_id`. This is the work.
+
+Two other email-specific traps measured on the real 19,097-message store:
+
+- **Bodies are ~0.5 GB of HTML.** Embed the text, not the markup.
+- **`labels` is a comma-separated string**, and `read` is populated on 93 rows. Neither is a filter to
+  build on. See the `email-db` skill.
+
+## Schema sketch
+
+Deliberately **not** email-shaped. That is the one concession to a future that does not exist yet, and it
+costs nothing now:
+
+```
+recall_chunks
+  id            integer pk
+  source        text      -- 'email' today. 'whatsapp', 'transcript' later.
+  source_id     text      -- the message id in ITS store — no foreign key across sources
+  account       text      -- which mailbox/number this came from
+  thread_id     text      -- for dedupe and for showing context
+  author        text      -- who said it
+  said_at       timestamp
+  text          text      -- quoted history stripped
+  embedding     float[]   -- sqlite-vec
+
+recall_verdicts             -- the COMPILE half
+  id            integer pk
+  question      text      -- what the model was asked, verbatim
+  source        text
+  source_id     text
+  verdict       boolean
+  reasoning     text
+  model         text      -- which model, so a re-run is comparable
+  judged_at     timestamp
+```
+
+Everything else assumes email until something else exists.
+
+## Build order
+
+1. **Chunking and dedupe**, with no embeddings at all. Strip quotes, thread, count what is left. If this
+   is wrong nothing after it can be right, and it is testable on its own.
+2. **A local embedding model**, and a decision about which. The new dependency.
+3. **`sqlite-vec` + backfill** of the existing corpus. One-off, slow, resumable.
+4. **A retrieval tool** the agent can call, returning chunks with their message ids so it can go read the
+   original.
+5. **The compile half** — a verdict table and a way to ask "judge every message against this question".
+6. Multi-source, if and when WhatsApp or transcripts exist.
+
+Steps 1 and 5 are useful without any of the others. Step 5 in particular answers the questions that
+prompted this, and needs no vectors at all.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- **Which local model**, and how big. Quality against a laptop-or-server-sized footprint.
+- **Re-embedding.** Changing model means re-embedding everything. Store which model produced each vector.
+- **Retention and deletion.** A deleted email should lose its chunks and its verdicts. Nothing here
+  currently cascades.
+- **Who can query it.** This is the most sensitive data in the platform, and it is per-account.

+# Localization
+
+**Status: DESIGN, NOT BUILT — with a working 5% skeleton already in the tree.**
+
+This is an execution plan. It is written to be handed to an agent who has not had the conversation
+that produced it, so it states the decisions and the reasons for them, not just the steps.
+
+Every count here is a **measurement taken on 2026-08-23**, not a claim that stays true — the whole
+point is for it to fall. Re-derive with `bun scripts/i18n/scan-hardcoded.ts` rather than trusting the
+number beside it, and do not wire these into `docs:check`: a guard that fails when the count drops
+would be a guard against progress.
+
+---
+
+## What this is
+
+Every word the UI shows a person should come from a catalog keyed by locale, so the platform can be
+read in a language other than English. Routes stay English (`/minesweeper`, `/chat`) — that is a URL
+decision, deferred, and nothing here depends on it.
+
+The scope is **the web UI only**. Not the server, not the plugins, not email or push. See D1 for what
+the server does instead, which is the one decision that reaches outside this boundary.
+
+---
+
+## What exists today, and what it cannot do
+
+There is already an i18n system. It is small, hand-rolled, has no npm dependency, and it works. It is
+also about **5% deployed**, and that gap is the whole job.
+
+| | |
+| --- | --- |
+| `src/workspaces/i18n/` | the package: `I18nProvider`, `useTranslation`, `resolveKey`, `interpolate` |
+| `src/apps/officer-web/lib/i18n.ts` | a typed wrapper binding keys to `en.json` |
+| `src/apps/officer-web/lib/I18nBridge.tsx` | reads `settings.languages.default`, feeds the provider |
+| `src/apps/officer-web/locales/` | `en.json` and `pt.json` — **46 keys each, in sync** |
+| components actually using it | **3** — `UserMenu`, `Languages`, `ChangePassword` |
+
+What it already does well, and which this plan keeps: dot-path lookup, `{{param}}` interpolation,
+fallback to `en`, and **type-safe keys** via `TranslationKeys<typeof en>` — a wrong key is a
+typecheck failure, which is worth more than it sounds when one agent is editing 400 files.
+
+**What it cannot do yet**, each of which is a task below:
+
+1. **No plural rules.** `1 file` / `2 files` has no expression. `Intl.PluralRules` is built into the
+   runtime and unused.
+2. **No locale-aware dates or numbers.** ~23 `toLocaleDateString/TimeString/String()` call sites use
+   the *browser's* locale, not the user's chosen one, so a Portuguese UI shows American dates.
+3. **No fallback chain.** `resolveKey` falls back to `en` and nothing else, so `pt-BR` cannot inherit
+   from `pt`.
+4. **One catalog, one workspace.** `locales/` lives inside `officer-web`. The 213 panel files in
+   `officerdev` and the 91 in `components` have no catalog of their own.
+5. **Silent, ugly misses.** A missing key renders its own dot-path (`settings.profile.foo`) to the
+   user. No warning, no test.
+6. **Twenty languages offered, two that exist.** The picker in `Languages.tsx` lists ~20 codes
+   including Hebrew and Greek. Choosing any of the eighteen silently yields English.
+
+### The size of the remaining work
+
+Measured, not guessed — `bun scripts/i18n/scan-hardcoded.ts`:
+
+| area | files | occurrences |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `officer-web` (shell) | 132 | 556 |
+| `officerdev` (panels) | 213 | 567 |
+| shared `components` | 91 | 47 |
+| **total** | **436** | **1170** |
+
+**884 distinct strings**, of which **88 need interpolation**. Against 46 keys today.
+
+That is a floor, not a ceiling. The scanner cannot see multi-line JSX, ternaries inside JSX, strings
+passed down as props, or anything a plugin renders. Budget for **1200–1500 keys**.
+
+---
+
+## Decisions
+
+### D1. The web UI only — and the server returns codes, not prose
+
+The server should **never emit user-facing prose**. It returns a stable machine-readable code; the UI
+owns every word a person reads and localizes it like any other string.
+
+```jsonc
+// not this
+{ "error": "The Minesweeper session is not running" }
+// this
+{ "code": "MINESWEEPER_NOT_RUNNING" }
+```
+
+This is better than translating the server, for reasons that have nothing to do with translation. A
+code maps to exactly one failure site, so it is greppable and a support conversation has something
+precise to quote. Prose drifts; a code does not. And the server stops needing to know who is reading.
+
+- **Phase 1 establishes the convention** so new code stops adding debt: new error paths emit codes,
+  and the catalog gets an `errors.*` namespace.
+- **Phase 2 migrates the existing ~53** prose strings in `src/servers`. Not in this plan's scope.
+- **Unmapped code** renders a generic localized line **with the code visible**. Never a blank, never
+  a raw key.
+
+**The trap, and it is a real one: a code must not leak more than the prose it replaces.** Where a
+refusal is deliberately vague, the code has to stay equally vague. `officer-secret-store` returns a
+byte-identical `403` for "no such app" and "no grant" precisely so a caller cannot enumerate what
+exists; splitting that into `APP_UNKNOWN` and `GRANT_MISSING` would hand back the enumeration oracle
+the prose was careful not to be. When in doubt, one code for one *response*, not one per branch.
+
+### D2. Regional locales, BCP 47, with fallback chains
+
+`pt-PT`, `pt-BR`, `en-GB`, `en-US` — not bare `pt` and `en`. Portuguese is the case that forces it,
+and it is the owner's own language, so getting it wrong is felt immediately.
+
+Resolution walks a chain and stops at the first hit:
+
+```
+pt-BR  →  pt  →  en
+en-GB  →  en
+```
+
+So a **base catalog carries the shared bulk and a regional overlay carries only the differences.**
+`pt.json` holds everything both Portugueses agree on; `pt-BR.json` holds only what Brazil says
+differently. Two near-identical full catalogs would drift within a month.
+
+`Intl` takes BCP 47 tags natively, so dates, numbers and plurals come out right with no extra work.
+
+**Migration:** `settings.languages.default` stores bare codes today (`pt`). The picker must move to
+regional tags, and stored values need a one-time widening (`pt` → `pt-PT`, `en` → `en-GB`). Prefer
+widening on read over a database migration — a stale bare code should resolve, not fail.
+
+### D3. RTL — prepare, do not ship
+
+No right-to-left locale ships in this phase. But since 436 files are being opened anyway, they get
+opened once:
+
+- **CSS logical properties** as components are touched — `margin-inline-start`, `padding-inline`,
+  `text-align: start` — instead of `left`/`right`. Tailwind has `ms-`/`me-`/`ps-`/`pe-` for this.
+- **`dir` on `<html>`**, driven by the locale, wired now and set to `ltr` for every shipped locale.
+
+The cost during a pass we are already making is close to nothing. The cost of a second pass over 436
+files later is not. Hebrew stays in the picker but is not selectable until a catalog exists (see the
+"twenty offered, two that exist" defect above — fix it by filtering the picker to shipped locales).
+
+### D4. Extend the existing package. Do not adopt a library
+
+`react-i18next`, `lingui` and `formatjs` are all better than what is here, and all of them are
+dependencies. This repository froze its lockfile and hand-rolled a secret store rather than take
+one, for reasons written down in `CLAUDE.md` → "Installs are frozen".
+
+The gap is smaller than it looks, because the hard parts are in the runtime already: `Intl.PluralRules`,
+`Intl.DateTimeFormat`, `Intl.NumberFormat`, `Intl.RelativeTimeFormat`. What is missing is roughly 150
+lines of glue, listed in "What it cannot do yet".
+
+Revisit this only if message *formatting* gets genuinely complex — nested selects, gendered forms.
+ICU MessageFormat is a real specification and reimplementing it would be the wrong kind of ambition.
+
+### D5. Keys, not English source text
+
+`t('settings.profile.changePassword.title')`, never `t('Change Password')`.
+
+Source-text keys (the gettext and lingui style) read nicely and mean an untranslated string still
+renders. They also mean **editing an English word invalidates every translation of it**, and this
+codebase already has typed keys — a wrong key is a compile error today, and that is not worth
+trading away.
+
+### D6. Catalogs live per workspace, merged at the bridge
+
+Not one god file. Three:
+
+```
+src/apps/officer-web/locales/          →  namespace  app.*
+src/workspaces/officerdev/src/locales/ →  namespace  panel.*
+src/workspaces/components/locales/     →  namespace  ui.*
+```
+
+`I18nBridge` deep-merges them before handing the map to the provider. Each workspace exports its own
+typed `useTranslation` the way `officer-web/lib/i18n.ts` does today.
+
+Two reasons, and the second is the one that matters for execution. Strings belong next to the code
+that renders them, so a panel stays self-contained. And **one 900-key `en.json` is a merge conflict
+on every parallel edit** — with several agents or several days of work, a single file is a queue.
+
+Namespaces also make an unqualified key impossible to place wrongly: `ui.*` is shared, so anything
+under it must not mention a feature.
+
+### D7. Plurals and formatting go through `Intl`
+
+A plural value becomes an object; a string stays a string:
+
+```jsonc
+"panel.files.selected": { "one": "{{count}} file selected", "other": "{{count}} files selected" }
+```
+
+`t()` picks the branch with `new Intl.PluralRules(locale).select(count)` when `count` is passed.
+Categories are per-locale — English and Portuguese use `one`/`other`, Arabic uses six — so the shape
+must be an open record, never a two-field type.
+
+A `useFormat()` hook returns `date`, `time`, `dateTime`, `number` and `relative`, each bound to the
+active locale. **The ~23 `toLocale*` call sites move to it.** Left alone they follow the browser's
+locale and quietly contradict the rest of the UI.
+
+### D8. A missing key falls back to English and is loud in dev
+
+Never render a dot-path to a person. Resolution walks the chain, ends at `en`, and only if English is
+missing too does it render the key — which at that point is a bug the parity test below should have
+caught.
+
+In dev, a miss logs once per key with the key and the locale. In production it is silent.
+
+---
+
+## The key naming convention
+
+Three segments, sometimes four. **Name the role, never the text.**
+
+```
+<namespace>.<area>.<component>.<element>
+
+app.settings.profile.changePassword.title
+panel.files.contextMenu.rename
+panel.chat.composer.placeholder
+ui.button.cancel
+app.errors.MINESWEEPER_NOT_RUNNING
+```
+
+- `namespace` — `app` / `panel` / `ui`, per D6.
+- `area` — the route or panel it belongs to; matches the directory.
+- `component` — the file, lowercased.
+- `element` — what it *is*: `title`, `description`, `placeholder`, `confirmLabel`, `emptyState`.
+
+Rules that keep 1200 keys navigable:
+
+- **Never key by the English words.** `ui.button.save`, not `ui.button.saveText` and never
+  `ui.button.Save`.
+- **Never build a key at runtime.** `t(\`panel.${kind}.title\`)` defeats both the type checker and
+  the extractor. Use an explicit map from the dynamic value to literal keys.
+- **`ui.*` may not name a feature.** If a shared component needs feature words, the caller passes
+  them as a prop.
+- **One key per meaning, not per occurrence.** "Cancel" in twelve dialogs is `ui.button.cancel` once.
+  But a word that is the same in English and different elsewhere — "Post" the noun and the verb —
+  gets two keys. When unsure, split: merging later is safe, splitting later is not.
+
+---
+
+## What must never be translated
+
+Getting this wrong is worse than missing a string, because it corrupts data or breaks a contract.
+
+- **Agent and chat output.** Whatever Claude or opencode wrote. It is content.
+- **User content** — file names, paths, terminal output, code, commit messages, note bodies.
+- **Identifiers that cross a boundary** — route paths, permission keys (`registry.ts`), error *codes*
+  (the code is the key; its message is what gets translated), app ids, sidecar names, PM2 process
+  names, database values.
+- **Log lines and thrown `Error` messages** that are not rendered to a user. They are for whoever is
+  reading a terminal at 4am, and they should stay greppable in one language.
+- **"Officer"**, and product names generally.
+
+---
+
+## Execution
+
+Four phases. Each is a commit that leaves the tree green — the app must run in English at every point,
+because a half-converted UI is unreviewable.
+
+### Phase 0 — infrastructure, no visible change
+
+Everything in "What it cannot do yet". Nothing in this phase touches a component.
+
+1. `resolve.ts`: fallback chain (D2), plural selection (D7), dev-mode miss warning (D8).
+2. `I18nProvider`: accept a merged map; expose `useFormat()`.
+3. `I18nBridge`: deep-merge the three catalogs (D6); set `dir` on `<html>` (D3).
+4. `Languages.tsx`: regional tags, and **filter the picker to locales that actually exist**.
+5. Settings migration: widen stored bare codes on read.
+6. Scaffold `locales/` in `officerdev` and `components`, each with its typed hook.
+7. Land the tooling below.
+
+Phase 0 is the whole plan's risk. It is also small, and it is the only part where a wrong decision is
+expensive to reverse — review it before phase 1 starts.
+
+### Phase 1 — shared components (91 files, ~47 strings)
+
+Smallest, highest reuse, and it establishes `ui.*` before anything depends on it. Do this first so
+phases 2 and 3 can reach for `ui.button.cancel` instead of inventing it twice.
+
+### Phase 2 — the shell (132 files, ~556 strings)
+
+`officer-web`: settings, dock, header, screens. Highest-traffic text and the part a reviewer will
+look at first. Convert per directory, one commit per area.
+
+### Phase 3 — the panels (213 files, ~567 strings)
+
+`officerdev` apps. The largest surface and the most parallelizable, because panels barely share
+strings. **One panel per commit** — this is where per-workspace catalogs earn their keep, but two
+agents in the same panel will still conflict.
+
+### Then: `pt-PT`
+
+Only after English is fully keyed. Translating against a moving catalog is wasted work.
+
+---
+
+## Tooling and guardrails
+
+Without these, 1200 keys rot. All three are small and belong in phase 0.
+
+**`scripts/i18n/scan-hardcoded.ts`** — already written and committed. Reports every candidate
+hardcoded string by area and file. It is how the numbers above were produced, and it is the progress
+meter: the count goes down as work lands.
+
+**A key-parity test.** For each shipped locale, every key that `en` has must resolve through the
+chain. Fails the build on a gap, the same way `bun docs:check` fails on a stale number. This is the
+one guard that stops a locale silently degrading into English.
+
+**A no-new-hardcoded-strings check.** Once an area reaches zero, add it to an allow-list the scanner
+enforces, so the next feature cannot reintroduce debt. Add this per area as it completes — enabling
+it globally on day one would just be red forever.
+
+**Also worth having:** an unused-key report. Keys outlive the components that used them, and nothing
+else will ever notice.
+
+---
+
+## Verification
+
+- `bunx tsgo` clean. A wrong key is a type error, so this is the primary check.
+  **Note for this machine:** `earlyoom` (`-r 3600`) SIGTERMs `tsgo` under memory pressure — it dies
+  around 15s with `Command failed`. That is not a type error. Free memory or scope the check.
+- `bun test` — parity test green for every shipped locale.
+- `bun scripts/i18n/scan-hardcoded.ts` — count strictly decreasing per phase.
+- By hand: switch the locale to `pt-PT` and walk the converted area. Untranslated strings should read
+  as **English, never as dot-paths**.
+- Check a plural at 0, 1 and 2, and a date, in both locales. These are the two things that look fine
+  in English and wrong everywhere else.
+
+---
+
+## Open questions
+
+1. **Routes.** Deferred deliberately. Nothing here depends on it, and localized URLs bring
+   canonicalization and redirect questions that are not worth answering yet.
+2. **Who translates?** Machine translation for `pt-PT` and `pt-BR` reviewed by the owner is the
+   obvious first pass. Any locale beyond Portuguese needs an answer to this before it is offered.
+3. **Plugin frontends** are out of scope and will need a catalog-merging contract in the plugin
+   manifest. Their strings are not counted above.
+4. **The `translateTo` setting already in `settings.languages`** is about translating *content*, not
+   the UI. It is a different feature that happens to sit in the same object — do not conflate them.
+5. **Does a member see the owner's locale anywhere?** Any server-rendered or cached string shared
+   between accounts needs a locale decision. D1 mostly removes this by removing server prose.

+# Notifications from more than one server
+
+**Design, not built.** Written 2026-08-21, for the single-sign-on work.
+
+The good news first, because it is the part that needed checking and it holds: **one Officer app can
+receive notifications from every server you are signed into, and almost nothing has to change to allow
+it.** One field is missing. This is what it is and why it matters more than it looks.
+
+## Why it works at all
+
+An APNs auth key (`.p8`) belongs to the **developer account**, not to a machine. There is no server
+binding in it. So every Officer install can hold the same key, mint its own provider token from it, and
+push to the same app.
+
+The device token belongs to the **app**, not to a server either. One Officer app has one token, whichever
+servers it talks to.
+
+So N servers pushing to one phone needs no coordination between them. Each just needs the token, which the
+app posts when it signs in — which the multi-server manager is doing anyway.
+
+Two facts about the shared key, neither blocking:
+
+- **Apple allows 2 active auth keys per account.** Sharing one across servers is the intended pattern;
+  one key per server is not an option past two.
+- **Revoking it kills push everywhere**, with no way to tell which machine leaked it. That is the real
+  cost of copying it to ten boxes, and the reason it belongs in each one's secret store rather than
+  in `.env`.
+
+## The missing field
+
+A payload today:
+
+```json
+{
+  "aps": { "alert": { "title": "Officer" }, "thread-id": "chat:abc", "mutable-content": 1 },
+  "officer": { "c": "officer/core:chat.turn-ended", "id": 42, "mv": 1873 }
+}
+```
+
+There is no origin. With one server that is correct and minimal. With five it breaks three things, and
+only the first is obvious.
+
+**1. The deep link opens the wrong thing.** `officer-chat://session/{id}` — that id is meaningful only on
+the server that issued it. The app has no way to know which, so it picks one. Sometimes it opens nothing;
+sometimes it opens somebody else's conversation with a matching id, which is worse.
+
+**2. `mv` starts a resync fight.** `mv` is a content hash of **that server's** catalogue, and servers with
+different plugins have genuinely different catalogues. The client's rule is `mv !== version → resync`.
+With one stored catalogue and five servers, every push from server B invalidates the copy synced from
+server A, and the app resyncs forever, always against whichever pushed last.
+
+This is the one that would look like a mysterious battery and data problem rather than a bug.
+
+**3. Threading collapses across servers.** `chat:{id}` groups per conversation. Two servers' ids
+coinciding is unlikely with UUIDs and not impossible, and "these two unrelated chats are one banner" is a
+confusing failure to diagnose.
+
+## The change
+
+**A server identifier in the `officer` block**, and the app keeping **one catalogue per server** keyed on
+it:
+
+```json
+"officer": { "s": "<server-id>", "c": "officer/core:chat.turn-ended", "id": 42, "mv": 1873 }
+```
+
+`mv` then means "version of that server's catalogue", threading becomes `<server>:chat:{id}`, and the deep
+link resolves against a known server.
+
+### Where the identifier comes from is an SSO decision, not a notifications one
+
+This is the part to settle tomorrow, and it belongs to the sign-on design rather than to this file.
+
+The multi-server manager already needs a key for each server — to store its API key against, to label it
+in a switcher, to route a deep link. **Whatever that key is, notifications should adopt it.** Inventing a
+second identity here means two ids for one server, drifting the first time somebody renames a host.
+
+It has to survive a hostname change, be stable across reinstalls of the app, and not be a secret — it
+travels in a push payload, which is the one place content is deliberately withheld. A server-generated
+opaque id created at bootstrap fits; a URL does not, because URLs change.
+
+## What stays per server, correctly
+
+Worth stating so nobody tries to unify it:
+
+- **`push_devices`** — each server holds its own registrations. The same phone appears once per server.
+- **`chat_notification_prefs`** — muting a conversation is per server, because the conversation is.
+- **The catalogue** — a server's codes come from its own plugins. Two installs with different plugins
+  legitimately have different vocabularies.
+
+None of that wants a shared store. The app is what joins them, which is the same shape as the sign-on
+work: the app holds the list, each server holds its own truth.
+
+## Current state, verified 2026-08-21
+
+|                        | alpha          | officer-dev |
+| ---------------------- | -------------- | ----------- |
+| iOS devices registered | 2              | 0           |
+| APNs credentials       | partly present | absent      |
+
+So only alpha can push today, and notifications seen elsewhere are the in-app bell rather than push. That
+is not a limitation of the design — it is two things absent on the other machines.
+
+## Order of work
+
+1. **Settle the server identifier** with the SSO design. Everything else waits on it, and it is a
+   half-hour conversation rather than a build.
+2. Add `s` to the payload; keep it optional so an older app ignores it.
+3. Per-server catalogue storage in the app, keyed on `s`. **This is the one that must land before a
+   second server starts pushing**, or the resync fight above begins.
+4. Thread ids become `<server>:chat:{id}`.
+5. Copy the `.p8` into the other servers' secret stores, and have the app register its token per server.

+# Plugin dependency scope
+
+**Built 2026-08-21.** A plugin declares WHO has to be able to run each host binary, and the platform
+installs and checks accordingly.
+
+## The bug
+
+`os-deps.ts` probes a dependency by asking the owner's login shell where the binary is. That is the right
+question for most plugins and the wrong one for some, and nothing distinguished them — a per-user answer
+was reported as a fact about the machine.
+
+It matters because `confined` plugins do their work as **the member's own Linux user**, in their own home.
+A binary in the owner's `~/.local/bin` is not on that user's PATH, and reaching it means traversing the
+owner's home directory.
+
+On alpha it happened to work. `/home/pastilhas` is mode **751** — world-traversable, not readable — so an
+absolute path resolved for members. Mode 750, which is the more usual default, would have broken every
+member's binary with nothing reporting anything: the install would still say satisfied, because the
+install only ever asked the owner.
+
+Working by accident is the part worth fixing. Nobody chose 751.
+
+## The field
+
+```ts
+osDependencies: [{ binary: 'iris', reason: '…', packages: {…}, scope: 'shared' }]
+```
+
+`owner` is the default and stays right for most things — anything an `execution` plugin uses runs as the
+owner in the owner's home by definition. `shared` says every account with a Linux user must be able to run
+it, which changes both the install target and the check.
+
+An unrecognised value is a manifest error rather than a silent fallback to `owner`, because the fallback
+is the permissive one.
+
+## What changes when it is `shared`
+
+**Where it is looked for.** System directories only — `/usr/local/bin`, `/usr/bin`, `/bin`, and the sbin
+trio. Deliberately not the owner's login shell: that shell finds the copy in the owner's home and reports
+the dependency satisfied, which is the exact false answer this exists to stop.
+
+**What counts as reachable.** Two things, and checking only the first is how this hid:
+
+- the file is world-executable (`0o001` — group is not enough, members are not in the owner's group)
+- **every directory above it is traversable**, walked to the root
+
+A binary at 755 inside a home at 700 is unreachable, and `stat` on the file alone says it is fine.
+
+**Where a release binary is installed.** `/usr/local/bin`, via `sudo -n install -m 0755`. The download is
+still staged in the owner's own space — fetching straight into a root-owned directory would mean running
+the download as root, which is a bigger ask than moving the result. `-n` so a plugin install never blocks
+on an invisible password prompt.
+
+**What blocks an install.** A shared dependency that is present and working but unreachable gets its own
+state, `unreachable`, and its own refusal — checked before everything else, because no package manager
+fixes it. The binary is installed; what is wrong is where it lives. Reinstalling the package would report
+success and change nothing.
+
+## What this deliberately does not do
+
+**It does not gate execution on a grant.** A binary in `/usr/local/bin` is runnable by any account with a
+shell, whether or not they hold the plugin's permission. The kernel does not know about `role_permissions`
+and never will.
+
+That is the same boundary `ffmpeg` and everything else in `/usr/bin` already has, and it is the right one:
+the plugin's **data** is gated by the permission system, its **executable** is not. For iris it is benign —
+a member who runs it captures their own `$HOME` profile and their own sessions, which is the isolation the
+wrapper already depends on.
+
+If a binary must not merely be _reachable_ but _unusable_ without a grant, `scope` is not the mechanism.
+That needs the plugin's own surface behind the permission gate, and the binary not on anyone's PATH.
+
+## Iris
+
+The motivating case, and still the only `shared` one. `PLUGIN.md` had already recorded it as open item 3 —
+"the binary lands in the owner's `~/.local/bin`, and a confined member's agent cannot read it there" — but
+that had not been connected to the probe being owner-scoped, so the install reported success either way.
+
+`iris` and `iris-browser` are built by the sidecar rather than fetched, so declaring `scope: 'shared'`
+makes the probe honest about who can run them; moving the sidecar's build output into `/usr/local/bin` is
+the remaining half, and it is a change to the sidecar rather than to this.
+
+## Status

+# Plugin route authorization
+
+**Platform half built 2026-08-21.** The gate enforces `ownerOnly`, the manifest accepts it, and the proxy
+forwards `X-Officer-Owner` / `X-Officer-Level`. **No plugin declares it yet** — jellyfin's `/_config` is
+still reachable by anyone granted the plugin, and cannot be locked until the credential question at the
+bottom of this file is answered.
+
+The question: a plugin's **settings** routes should be reachable only by the owner, even when the plugin
+itself is granted to other accounts. Jellyfin is the case that raised it — connecting a server, storing
+its admin token and provisioning accounts is not something a Member should reach, but Jellyfin as a whole
+is exactly the sort of plugin a Member should have.
+
+## The shape we agreed
+
+Authorization stays where the platform already puts it — the gate answers "may this account reach this
+plugin, and at what level" — and the plugin decides what that means **inside** its own surface. That is
+not a new principle. `src/servers/plugins/manifest.ts` already says it, in the comment refusing an
+`ownerOnly` field on a permission:
+
+> Every plugin permission is grantable, per role, at read or write … Finer visibility — whose rows a
+> member sees, what a read means for this plugin's data — is the PLUGIN's business and lives in its own
+> queries.
+
+"Which of my routes are administrative" is the same kind of question as "whose rows does a read return".
+It belongs to the plugin, because only the plugin knows that `/_config` is settings and `/_jf` is bytes.
+
+So: **the platform tells the plugin who is asking; the plugin decides what they may do.**
+
+### What gets passed, and what does not
+
+Today the proxy sends exactly one fact (`src/servers/sidecar/create-proxy.ts`):
+
+```
+X-Officer-User: <id>
+```
+
+The extension is one or two more headers alongside it. Two points about how, both load-bearing:
+
+**Pass derived facts, not the role name.** The instinct is to send `X-Officer-Role: Super Admin`. Don't.
+Roles are the platform's vocabulary and they are not frozen — `Admin`, `Member`, `Developer` today, with
+grants keyed on the role string in `role_permissions`. A plugin that branches on a role name gives every
+plugin repository an opinion about that vocabulary, and renaming a role silently changes authorization
+in code the platform does not own and cannot see.
+
+Send instead what a plugin can act on without knowing anything:
+
+```
+X-Officer-User:  <id>
+X-Officer-Owner: 1 | 0            — is this the server owner
+X-Officer-Level: none|read|write  — this account's effective level for THIS plugin's permission
+```
+
+`isOwner` is the fact that is structurally stable: user id 1, pinned by a CHECK constraint, bypassing
+every permission check. It will mean the same thing in a year. `Super Admin` might not.
+
+A plugin that genuinely needs a third tier — "Admins may also do this" — should not get it by reading a
+role. It should declare a second permission key and let the owner grant it. That keeps the answer to
+"who may do this" on the permissions page, where the owner can see and change it, rather than compiled
+into a plugin's `if`.
+
+**Nothing may be trusted from the caller.** The proxy builds a fresh header object and copies a
+three-item allowlist; it does not forward arbitrary inbound headers. That is why `X-Officer-User` is
+safe to trust, and any new header inherits the same safety **only for as long as the allowlist stays an
+allowlist**. If that loop is ever changed to a copy-everything-except, a client-supplied
+`X-Officer-Owner: 1` becomes a privilege escalation against every plugin at once.
+
+**Absent means denied.** A sidecar that does not see the headers — reached directly, an older platform,
+a bug — must resolve to no privileges rather than to the owner. Same rule as `authorize.ts`, where every
+catch returns deny.
+
+## Where I disagree, and it is one point
+
+Plugin-side enforcement has a failure mode the platform has already been bitten by, and it is worth
+naming before it happens again rather than after.
+
+`assertPermissionTotality` exists because a Member could 403 on `GET /api/tasks` and open
+`/api/tasks/pipeline/ws` with a 101 in the same minute. The lesson written down at the time was
+"**a patch does not survive the next door; refusing to boot does.**" Pure plugin-side authorization is
+that same shape: jellyfin will check, because we are about to write the check. The next plugin's author
+forgets one route, and nothing anywhere notices — no boot failure, no warning, no test.
+
+So the recommendation is not "platform enforces instead". It is **declare in the manifest, enforce in the
+proxy, and pass the facts to the sidecar as well**:
+
+Built as a field on the permission rather than at the manifest root, following `readOnlyWrites` — both
+are sub-paths written relative to the plugin's prefix with a rule attached, and one precedent is better
+than two shapes:
+
+```ts
+// manifest.ts
+permissions: [{ key: 'jellyfin', label: 'Jellyfin', description: '…', ownerOnly: ['/_config'] }],
+```
+
+- **Declared by the plugin**, because the plugin knows which of its paths are administrative.
+- **Enforced by the platform**, in the proxy, before the request reaches the sidecar — so forgetting the
+  check inside the plugin is not a hole, and the rule holds for a route added later by someone who never
+  read this file.
+- **Visible at install**, next to the permissions the owner already reviews, and greppable across every
+  plugin from one place.
+- **Still passed to the sidecar**, because the plugin's own finer rules — whose rows, which fields — are
+  genuinely its business and cannot be expressed as a path prefix.
+
+This does not contradict the `manifest.ts` comment above. That comment refuses to make a **permission**
+owner-only, because a permission is a thing the owner delegates and one nobody can delegate is a
+contradiction. A path prefix is not a grant; it is a statement that a route administers the plugin
+rather than uses it.
+
+## The frontend is a courtesy, not the lock
+
+Hiding the Settings entry in the plugin's nav for a non-owner is worth doing, and it is not security.
+Same rule as `usePermissions`, which fails open on purpose: hiding an entry is politeness, the 403 is the
+lock. Write the guard on the route first and the nav second, never only the second.
+
+## What must be settled before any of this lands
+
+**A member with no server has no Jellyfin.** Connections are stored strictly per user — every query in
+`plugins/jellyfin/db/queries.ts` filters on `eq(jellyfinServers.userId, userId)`. Lock `/_config` to the
+owner today and a Member gets a plugin that can only ever show them the connect form they are forbidden
+to submit.
+
+The resolution that fits what already exists: a non-owner resolves to the **owner's active server URL**
+authenticated with **their own token**, which provisioning already mints and stores in
+`jellyfin_accounts`. That is arguably why those tokens are minted at all — per-user identity upstream, so
+resume points, watched marks and next-up stay each person's own rather than everyone sharing the owner's.
+
+That is a change to credential resolution, not to authorization, and it is the actual prerequisite. The
+guard is a few lines; this is the work.

+# SendOff — files land in the user's own tree, and a push says where
+
+**From:** mobile · **Date:** 2026-08-23 · **v2, replacing this morning's spec entirely.** The v1
+design (staging area, transfer/target/file tables, ack lifecycle, TTL cleanup) is withdrawn — Andre's
+observation kills it: every user already has a filesystem on the server, a file browser on the web,
+and a Files app on the phone. SendOff is not a new storage system; it is a folder convention, one
+endpoint, and a push.
+
+## The convention
+
+```
+~/Downloads/sendoff/from-<username>/   ← a file another USER sent you
+~/Downloads/sendoff/<machine>/         ← a file you sent yourself, aimed at a named device
+```
+
+That is the whole data model. Nothing to ack, nothing to expire, nothing to clean up — the files are
+ordinary files in the recipient's tree, visible in every file UI that already exists, managed like
+anything else they own.
+
+## The endpoint
+
+```
+POST /api/sendoff/send
+  multipart: any number of `file` parts + a `meta` part:
+    { "toUser": "<username>" }        — cross-user: writes into THEIR tree, from-<sender>/
+    { "machine": "<device name>" }    — self: writes into own tree, <machine>/
+  → { path: "Downloads/sendoff/…", files: [{ name, size }] }
+```
+
+Server-side because of the cross-user case: `/api/file-browser/upload` correctly writes only the
+caller's own tree, and that must not change. This endpoint is the one sanctioned door into another
+user's filesystem, and it writes ONLY under `Downloads/sendoff/from-<sender>/` — the sender's
+identity comes from their token, never from the payload, so the folder name cannot lie about who
+sent it. Filenames sanitised, collisions suffixed `(1)` — never overwritten; a second send of the
+same name is a second file.
+
+Whether user A may send to user B at all is a platform policy decision (everyone on the server? a
+grant?) — flagging it rather than deciding it here.
+
+## The push
+
+On write, push to the recipient's devices through the existing pipeline:
+
+```
+{ "officer": { "c": "officer/core:sendoff.landed", "path": "Downloads/sendoff/from-andre" } }
+alert: "photo.jpg from andre" / "3 files from omega"
+```
+
+The push catalogue's route for the category:
+
+```
+officer://files?path={path}
+```
+
+Mobile opens routes from the catalogue verbatim (`openNotificationRoute`), and Officer now parses
+`officer://files?path=…` into the Files app at that folder. The web can deep-link its file browser
+the same way.
+
+For a `machine`-targeted send, push only to that machine's device if it can be identified; to all
+the user's devices otherwise — the path in the folder name already says who it was for.
+
+## Devices
+
+The `machine` name needs a picker on the sending side, so a minimal registry survives from v1:
+
+```
+devices: id (client uuid), user_id, name, platform, last_seen_at
+POST /api/devices/register { id, name, platform }   (upsert; called on every app start)
+GET  /api/devices → { devices }                     (the "send to my…" picker)
+PATCH /api/devices/:id { name } · DELETE /api/devices/:id
+```
+
+No link to transfers — nothing references a device row except the picker and, best-effort, push
+targeting.
+
+## Web UI
+
+One send form: files + target (one of my machines / another user), POST, done. Received files need
+no UI at all — they are in the file browser already.
+
+## What mobile already does (shipped against this)
+
+- Registers the device on start (silent failure until the endpoint exists).
+- Parses `officer://files?path=…` and opens the Files app at that path — this is the piece that
+  makes the push tap land somewhere.
+- SendOff screen: the device's name (the folder senders will aim at), and an explanation of where
+  arrivals land. Sending FROM the phone comes later, likely through the existing share sheet.
+
+## Out of scope

+# Servers — the running list
+
+Every machine the owner runs, how to reach it, and what of Officer is on it. Kept here so an
+orchestrator ("pull and update every platform", "restart officer everywhere", "which host is behind")
+has one place to read rather than a fact re-derived per session.
+
+**Verified 2026-08-21** from `officer-dev` by SSH and `pm2 jlist`, except where marked assumed.
+
+## How access works
+
+All of it is over the tailnet, key-based, no `~/.ssh/config`, no passwords, no jump hosts, no ports.
+
+**The login user is NOT always `pastilhas`.** It is per host and it is in the table below. `deadpool` runs
+as `br` and always will — the owner's key is authorised for that account. An orchestrator that hard-codes
+a username fails on that host and will fail on the next one like it.
+
+```bash
+ssh alpha                       # pastilhas, implied
+ssh br@deadpool-rezio-bridge    # not implied
+```
+
+## Officer platforms
+
+Seven, all running.
+
+| Host                         | Tailnet IP  | Login       | Checkout                            | Domain                            |
+| ---------------------------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
+| `officer-dev`                | 100.64.0.13 | `pastilhas` | `~/officer-dev/platform`            | `platform.officer.dev`            |
+| `alpha`                      | 100.64.0.1  | `pastilhas` | `~/officerdev/platform`             | `officer.pastilhas.dev`           |

+| `deadpool-rezio-bridge`      | 100.64.0.21 | **`br`**    | `/home/br/officerdev/platform`      | `officer.rezio.dev` `[pending]`   |
+
+Only `platform.officer.dev` is public (77.42.39.155). The rest resolve to tailnet addresses and are
+reachable from inside only.
+
+## Deliberately skipped
+
+A host here is NOT a deploy target. A rollout names it as skipped and moves on — it is not a failure,
+and it must not be reported as one.
+
+| Host                   | Since      | Why                                                              |
+| ---------------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `edge-pertento-bridge` | 2026-08-23 | Down, and staying down for some days. Owner's call, not a fault. |
+
+Its row, kept so restoring it is one move:
+
+```
+| `edge-pertento-bridge`       | 100.64.0.15 | `pastilhas` | `~/officerdev/platform`             | `edge.pertento.ai`                |
+```
+
+On 2026-08-23 the deploy agent spent four attempts and up to 60s per try on this host before reporting
+it unreachable — TCP on 22 accepted, then no SSH banner. That work was correct and entirely wasted, which
+is what this section exists to prevent: a host that is known to be down should cost a line in a report,
+not a retry budget.
+
+### Names that disagree with themselves
+
+Three hosts answer to more than one name, and `tailscale status` is not always the one in use:
+
+| In `tailscale status`   | Also                         | The machine's own hostname |
+| ----------------------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
+| `edge-bridge`           | `edge-pertento-bridge`       | `edge-pertento`            |
+| `gitea-bridge`          | `production-pertento-bridge` | `PPROD`                    |
+| `deadpool-rezio-bridge` | —                            | `deadpool`                 |
+
+The middle column is what to use. `edge-bridge` and `gitea-bridge` are the old names and are being
+retired; anything reading `tailscale status` will still see them.
+
+### Things that will catch out an orchestrator
+
+All verified, none cosmetic.
+
+- **The checkout path differs per host** — four distinct shapes across seven machines. Take it from PM2:
+  the `officer` process's `pm_cwd`. `alpha` carries a SECOND, stale checkout at
+  `~/dockers/officer.dev/platform`, and pulling that one succeeds while changing nothing.
+- **`pm2` is not on a non-interactive PATH.** It lives under nvm, and nvm's setup is in `.zshrc`, which a
+  _login_ shell does not read. Use `ssh <host> '$SHELL -ic "pm2 jlist"'`. `-lc` is **not** enough — it
+  reports "command not found" on machines where pm2 is plainly running, which cost two wrong conclusions
+  on 2026-08-21.
+- **On `macbookpro`, APPEND to the PATH for `bun`. Never replace it.** This said "do not help the PATH"
+  until 2026-08-21, and that was half right in a way that cost a deploy step: `pm2` is only on the
+  interactive shell's PATH, so replacing it breaks `pm2` — but `bun` is at `/opt/homebrew/bin/bun` and
+  `.zshrc` does not put that directory on the interactive PATH either, so `bun run plugins:update` fails
+  `command not found` before it runs a line. `export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin` for that one command
+  shadows nothing: `pm2` stays at `~/.local/bin/pm2` and `node` at `node@22`. Run `pm2` as a separate
+  command.
+- **`$SHELL -ic` on `macbookpro` aliases `ls` to `eza`, which is not installed.** A probe using `ls`
+  reports a missing file that is plainly there. Use `command ls`, or a non-interactive shell for file tests.
+- **The git remotes differ.** `fofos` pulls over HTTPS; the others over SSH. Never assume a URL — pull in
+  place.
+- **A "dirty tree" means TRACKED changes.** `git status --porcelain` counts untracked files, and a stray
+  script a fast-forward could never touch is not a reason to skip a host. Use `--untracked-files=no`.
+- **`macbookpro` is a laptop.** It may be asleep. Unreachable is a skip with a note, not a failed deploy.
+- **`bun run plugins:update` restarts sidecars itself**, printing `sidecar: started` per plugin — on
+  `alpha` that is twelve processes bouncing during the plugins step, before any restart the plan asked for.
+  Not a fault, but a deploy report that lists only `officer` under "restarted" is understating what moved.
+- **`fofos` failed its capabilities sync for three deploys, and it was ownership.** Fixed 2026-08-21.
+  Two errors that read as unrelated problems — `dubious ownership` from git, and
+  `EACCES … mkdir '…/capabilities/affordances/officerdev'` from the gitea plugin — were one cause in two
+  dialects: fifty paths under that checkout were owned by `root`, including `.git` and `affordances`, all
+  stamped `19 Aug 21:43`. Something was run with `sudo` and left them behind. Mode `755` is why the split
+  looked odd: everything could be READ, so git saw the repo and refused it on ownership while the plugin
+  saw `affordances` and could not write into it.
+
+  One `stat` settled it, and that is the general lesson — `stat` prints the owner rather than inferring
+  anything, so it either proves ownership is the cause or eliminates it, in one command. Fixed with
+  `sudo chown -R pastilhas:pastilhas ~/officerdev/capabilities`; verified after by a `mkdir` into the
+  directory that used to refuse one.
+
+  **A `safe.directory` entry was deliberately NOT used**, and that call is worth keeping. It would have
+  silenced the git message and left the `EACCES` untouched — one symptom of a two-symptom cause hidden,
+  with the obvious explanation spent.
+
+## Not platforms — ignore for now
+
+A checkout may be present; no `officer` process runs on any of these. Whether they are retired, staging
+or half-installed is **not established** — ask before treating them as targets.
+
+| Host        | Tailnet IP |
+| ----------- | ---------- |
+| `headscale` | 100.64.0.2 |
+| `omega`     | 100.64.0.3 |
+| `gateway`   | 100.64.0.4 |
+
+## Other machines on the tailnet
+
+- **Not SSH-reachable** (port 22 refused): `edge-dns` (100.64.0.8), `officer-bridge` (100.64.0.5).
+  Assumed service-only containers — not confirmed. `edge-bridge` was listed here until 2026-08-21 and was
+  wrong: its SSH was simply down at the time of checking.
+- **Client devices, not servers:** `iphone16`, `andres-ipad`, `pixel9a`, plus other people's devices in
+  the tailnet (`diogos-ipad`, `iphone-diogo`, `iphone-bruno`, `fedras-iphone`,
+  `guilhermes-macbook-pro`, `macbook-pro-de-joo`).
+
+## Known wrong, waiting on someone else
+
+- **`officer.rezio.dev` resolves to 100.64.0.4** — that is `gateway`, not `deadpool` (100.64.0.21). Not
+  merely unavailable: pointed at a different machine, so it will serve the wrong box the moment gateway
+  answers on 443. Ports 80 and 443 are closed on `deadpool`, so nothing fronts it yet. Waiting on the
+  domain owner.
+
+## Keeping this list true
+
+It rots when a server is added, a checkout moves, a platform is retired, a remote changes or a login
+differs. Re-verify with the four commands it was built from:
+
+```bash
+tailscale status
+ssh <login>@<host> '$SHELL -ic "pm2 jlist"'   # the officer entry's pm_cwd
+ssh <login>@<host> 'git -C <cwd> remote get-url origin'
+getent hosts <domain>

+# Nightly visual regression, on a second server
+
+**Plan, not built.** Written 2026-08-21.
+
+Capture every route of a dashboard behind a JWT login, every night, on a machine nobody is sitting at —
+and have an agent look only at what changed.
+
+The target is **not** Officer and **not** this machine: a separate box running Officer with the `iris` and
+`browser` plugins, pointed at a dashboard the owner runs elsewhere. Its login is a JWT, like Officer's.
+
+## The shape
+
+```
+target server (Officer + iris + browser)
+  │
+  ├─ cron, 03:00 ──▶ capture N routes with iris        → runs/<date>/<route>.png
+  │                  compare against runs/baseline/    → changed[]
+  │                  if changed is empty → record and stop, wake nobody
+  │                  else → open a chat turn with the changed pairs attached
+  │
+  └─ agent reads only the changed images, judges each: intended, or regression
+                     → notification with the verdict, and a link to the run
+```
+
+The expensive, fuzzy step happens only where pixels actually moved. On a quiet night the run costs a few
+seconds of Chrome and nothing else.
+
+## The hard part: a JWT lives in localStorage, and iris cannot put it there
+
+This is the thing to solve first, because everything else is plumbing.
+
+Cookie-authenticated sites work today: `iris-browser` copies `Cookies`, `Cookies-wal`, `Login Data` and
+`Local State` out of a signed-in profile, so a capture rides the same session.
+
+**A JWT dashboard is not cookie-authenticated.** The token sits in `localStorage`, which Chrome keeps in
+`Default/Local Storage/leveldb/` — a directory `iris-browser` does not copy. So a capture of a
+token-authenticated app renders the login screen, and does it silently: the screenshot is real, the page
+is real, and it is the wrong page.
+
+Three ways out, worth choosing between deliberately.
+
+### A. Copy `Local Storage/leveldb` too — smallest change, biggest blast radius
+
+One more entry in `seed_sessions`. It works, and it copies **every** site's localStorage into the
+capture profile, not just the target's. That is someone's whole browser state in a temp directory, and
+the directory is a LevelDB — copying it under a live browser can catch a compaction mid-write, which
+Cookies-the-file mostly cannot.
+
+Viable, and the least attractive of the three.
+
+### B. Log in during the capture — no profile at all
+
+Most JWT dashboards accept a token in the URL, or can be given one by a first-run page. If the target
+does, then:
+
+```
+iris 'https://dash.example.com/?token=<jwt>' -o run/home.png
+```
+
+and there is no profile, no desktop, no signed-in browser anywhere. The token comes from a service
+account minted for this, stored in Officer's secret store, and never appears in a screenshot.
+
+**This is the recommended path** when the target supports it. It removes desktop from the picture
+entirely, which removes the only reason that plugin was in this plan.
+
+### C. Seed via the relay, capture via iris
+
+Pair a browser once, use the relay to `evaluate` the token into `localStorage`, and let iris capture from
+that profile. Works without changing either plugin, and needs a browser paired at 3am — which is exactly
+the constraint iris exists to avoid.
+
+Keep as the fallback for a target that supports neither a token URL nor a clean profile copy.
+
+## What to capture
+
+**Routes come from a list the repo owns**, not from crawling. A crawler finds what exists; a list says
+what is supposed to exist, and a route disappearing is the regression you most want caught.
+
+```jsonc
+// routes.json, in the dashboard's own repository
+[
+  { "path": "/", "name": "home" },
+  { "path": "/reports", "name": "reports", "waitFor": "[data-ready]" },
+  { "path": "/reports/42", "name": "report-detail" },
+]
+```
+
+`waitFor` maps to iris's `--wait-for`, which is what stops a spinner being the thing under test.
+
+Two viewports — one desktop, one phone — doubles the run and catches the majority of layout breakage.
+`--jobs` renders them in parallel.
+
+## Diffing, before any agent is involved
+
+Compare each capture with the same route's baseline. A pixel count, a threshold, nothing clever:
+
+- **identical** → nothing happens
+- **differs under threshold** (antialiasing, a clock, a random avatar) → nothing happens, but log it
+- **differs over threshold** → into `changed[]`
+
+The threshold exists because something on the page always moves. **Mask what is known to move** rather
+than raising the threshold until it passes — a timestamp region is a rectangle to blank before comparing,
+not a reason to accept 3% drift everywhere.
+
+Officer has no image diff today. `sharp` is already a plugin dependency (atelier) and can do it; a raw
+pixel loop over two decoded buffers is about thirty lines and needs nothing.
+
+**Baselines are promoted, never automatic.** A run does not overwrite the baseline because it succeeded —
+it does so when someone says "yes, that is the new correct". Otherwise a regression becomes the baseline
+on night two and disappears.
+
+## What reaches the agent
+
+Only changed pairs, and each one as **two images plus the route name**: baseline and current. The
+question asked is narrow, because a broad one gets a broad answer:
+
+> This is `/reports` before and after. Describe what changed, then say whether it is a layout break, a
+> content change, or noise. If you cannot tell, say so.
+
+"If you cannot tell, say so" earns its place — a model asked to judge will judge, and a confident wrong
+verdict on night four is how the whole thing stops being trusted.
+
+The verdicts land in a notification (`officer-notify` is already core) with a count and a link, not the
+images. Nobody wants twenty pictures on a phone at 3am.
+
+## What does not exist yet
+
+In rough order of how much they block:
+
+1. **`--wait-for` against a JWT app** — solve auth first (§B), everything else is downstream.
+2. **An image diff.** Thirty lines, or `sharp`.
+3. **A scheduler.** Officer's queue has retries, not schedules — `scheduleRetry` is the only timed thing
+   in it. So this is system cron calling a script, or a `setInterval` in a plugin sidecar the way the
+   nudger does it. Cron is the honest answer for something that runs once a night.
+4. **A place for runs and baselines.** `$OFFICER_ROOT/data/visual-regression/{baseline,runs}/` — outside
+   any plugin directory, because a plugin update replaces that.
+5. **Whatever holds this.** A plugin of its own on that server, with `routes.json` as its config and a
+   panel showing the last run. It is not iris and it is not the relay; it is the thing that uses them.
+
+## What this deliberately is not
+
+**Not a test runner.** It proves a page renders and looks like it did yesterday. It cannot tell you a
+button is wired to the wrong handler, and it should not be stretched to try — that is a real test suite,
+and the two answer different questions.
+
+**Not a crawler.** See routes, above.
+
+**Not the browser relay.** The relay drives a live browser someone is signed into; this runs when nobody
+is. They overlap only in that both produce screenshots. If §B holds, the relay has no role in this at all.

+# Kickoff prompt: extract Atelier into a plugin
+
+Written 2026-08-20 for an **unattended overnight run**. That changes two things from
+`EXTRACT-A-PLUGIN-PROMPT.md`, which assumes the owner is awake:
+
+- **It does not say "ask and wait".** Nobody is there. Decisions that would normally be questions are
+  pre-made below, with reasoning, so the run does not stall on them.
+- **It assumes you may be restarted.** Commit after every task, so whoever picks this up — including you,
+  an hour later, with no memory of it — finds a clean tree and a readable history.
+
+Paste everything below the line into a fresh agent.
+
+---
+
+You are extracting **Atelier** out of `~/officer-dev/dockers/officer-atelier` and into an Officer plugin,
+the way `music`, `offscale` and `gitea` were extracted before it.
+
+**Work in a git worktree, not the main checkout.** Another agent is watching
+`/home/pastilhas/officer-dev/platform` and pulling into it as you push. Two processes in one working tree
+is how work gets lost — on 2026-08-20 it nearly did.
+
+```
+git -C /home/pastilhas/officer-dev/platform worktree add /home/pastilhas/officer-dev/atelier-work -b atelier-plugin
+```
+
+Everything below happens in `~/officer-dev/atelier-work`.
+
+**Push every commit straight to master**, from the worktree:
+
+```
+git push origin HEAD:master
+```
+
+The branch is only there to keep your files out of the other checkout. Master is what is being reviewed.
+Push after every task — a reviewer reading five small commits can tell you what went wrong on the second
+one; nobody can do that with one commit at the end.
+
+**Your final commit message must contain `ATELIER-COMPLETE` on its own line**, and no earlier commit may
+contain that string. It is the signal that the run is finished and the review can start. Do not use it to
+mean "this part is done".
+
+## Read first, in this order
+
+1. **`plugins/EXTRACTING-A-PLUGIN.md`** — the runbook and the authority. Read "What changed on
+   2026-08-16" carefully; it contradicts an earlier instruction in the same file, deliberately.
+2. **`plugins/example/README.md`** — what a plugin is, as conventions.
+3. **`src/servers/plugins/`** — `discover.ts`, `manifest.ts`, `mount.ts`, `install.ts`, `ecosystem.ts`.
+   Where this prompt and that code disagree, **the code is right**.
+4. **`CLAUDE.md`** — house rules, the permission model, and why `assertPermissionTotality` refuses to boot.
+5. **`docs/secret-store.md`** — Atelier holds an OpenAI key.
+6. **`src/workspaces/officerdev/APP_CONVENTIONS.md`** and `HOOK_CONVENTIONS.md` — you are writing panels.
+
+## What Atelier is
+
+Image generation as a service: a provider-shaped API over OpenAI's image endpoints, storing what it makes
+so every image has a permanent URL. Bun · Hono · Postgres/Drizzle · htmx with Hono JSX · a React SPA.
+
+```
+84 ts/tsx files, ~6,400 lines
+tables      collections, provider_settings        (its own `atelier` database)
+routes      /generations, /generations/:id, /edits, /adapters,
+            /:id/items, /:id/items/:generationId, mask
+env         BUN_PORT, PUBLIC_URL, POSTGRES_URL, ATELIER_DATA_DIR,
+            OPENAI_API_KEY, ATELIER_MAX_CONCURRENCY
+runs as     pm2 `officer-atelier`, cwd ~/officer-dev/dockers/officer-atelier
+```
+
+It is a **sidecar** plugin for one reason that survives the UI moving into Officer: generation is
+long-running, capped by `ATELIER_MAX_CONCURRENCY`, and holds a credential the platform must not. The UI
+is Officer's; the work is the sidecar's.
+
+## Decisions already made — do not re-open these
+
+Each of these would normally be a question. They are answered so you can keep moving. If you find
+evidence that one is wrong, **write it in `BLOCKERS.md`, follow the decision anyway, and carry on** — a
+half-applied decision is worse than a wrong one consistently applied.
+
+**1. The UI is PORTED into Officer. No proxy, no iframe, no sidecar-served UI.** Atelier was a separate
+server because that was the quick answer at the time; this extraction is what undoes that. It becomes part
+of Officer, not something Officer frames.
+
+It is smaller than the repository suggests:
+
+```
+src/apps/frontend      1,736 lines / 25 files
+  6 of those           components/ui/*  — shadcn Officer ALREADY HAS. Delete, import from @/components/ui.
+  real work            Generate · Gallery (+ Lightbox) · Collections · Providers   ≈1,200 lines
+src/apps/web           the htmx half — 8 files, DELETED, not ported
+```
+
+So: three panel apps — **Generate**, **Gallery**, **Collections** — under
+`plugins/atelier/web/`, each exporting `appRegistryMetas`, with a `layout.ts` composing them. Follow the
+frontend route conventions in `CLAUDE.md`: selection lives in the URL, rows are real links, no
+`usePanelChannel` for "which thing is open".
+
+The fourth feature, **Providers**, is not a panel — see the next decision.
+
+**2. Providers become Officer settings, with more than one.** `features/Providers/` is a settings screen,
+and Officer has a settings surface already. It moves there rather than becoming a panel.
+
+`src/servers/providers/` is already adapter-shaped — `types.ts`, `openai.ts`, `credentials.ts`, an
+`index.ts` that dispatches. Keep that shape and keep the seam: today OpenAI is the only adapter, and the
+point of moving the settings is that a second one is a new file rather than a new screen. **Do not add a
+second provider in this run** — leave the shape able to take one and say so in `PLUGIN.md`.
+
+**3. The database: check the rows, then decide.** Atelier uses a separate `atelier` Postgres database,
+deliberately — `src/databases/atelier_db/drizzle.config.ts` says why. Plugin tables normally live in
+`officer_db` with a prefix.
+
+- Count the rows in `collections` and `provider_settings` first.
+- **If both are empty**, fold them into `officer_db` as `atelier_collections` and
+  `atelier_provider_settings`, following `plugins/*/db/schema.ts`. Two tables do not earn a second
+  database.
+- **If either has rows**, keep the separate database for now and record the migration as a follow-up in
+  `BLOCKERS.md`. Losing someone's generated images to a schema decision at 4am is not a trade worth making.
+
+**4. Artefacts: `$OFFICER_ROOT/data/atelier/`.** Generated images are files, and `ATELIER_DATA_DIR`
+currently points wherever its `.env` says. A plugin directory is a git clone that an update replaces, so
+artefacts kept there vanish on upgrade with nothing logging it. `plugins/kiosk/artefacts.ts` has the same
+problem solved and the comment explaining it.
+
+**5. `OPENAI_API_KEY` goes in the secret store**, not `.env`. `putSecret`/`getSecret` landed 2026-08-19;
+`bun run secret:set atelier-openai-key` puts it there. Read with `getSecret`, **never `getKey`** — `getKey`
+mints a random value for an absent purpose, which for a foreign credential means silently authenticating
+with a fake. Fall back to env when the store has nothing, so an install that predates this keeps working.
+
+**6. One permission, `atelier`, `kind: 'app'`.** Image generation is not `execution` — it does not run as
+the owner's OS user in the owner's home.
+
+## How to work
+
+**Map before you move.** The first task is not a file move. Find every line in the platform that names
+atelier, and every import pointing INTO it. A plugin may import platform code (`@@/…`); the reverse cannot
+happen. Report what you find before moving anything.
+
+**Commit after every task, and push.** You may be restarted at any point by a scheduler that has no idea
+what you were doing. A clean tree and a commit message are how the next attempt — possibly you — knows
+where it is. Commit messages: simple lowercase, no prefixes.
+
+**Do not restart the platform.** `pm2 restart officer` breaks the owner's chat session. Write the command
+down instead; they will run it.
+
+**Do not `git add -A`.** Add the paths you touched. This has caused two commits to swallow another
+agent's work in one day.
+
+**Format only what you touched** — `bunx prettier --write <paths>`, never `bun format`.
+
+**`bunx tsgo` must be clean** before every commit. Not `tsc`.
+
+## When you get stuck
+
+Write it in `BLOCKERS.md` at the worktree root — what you were doing, what stopped you, what you did
+instead, and whether it is reversible. Then **move to the next task**. Do not wait, do not invent a
+workaround that changes behaviour without saying so, and do not stop the run.
+
+If invented content ends up anywhere durable — copy, defaults, seed data — mark it `[placeholder]` so it
+can be found later with a grep.
+
+## Done means
+
+- `plugins/atelier/` with `manifest.ts`, `api/router.ts`, `sidecar/index.ts`, `web/panels.ts`,
+  `web/layout.ts`, `db/`, `assets/icon.png`, `assets/splash.png`, and its own git repository.
+- It installs from the Marketplace onto a machine that has never had it, and the panel renders.
+- `bunx tsgo` clean, `bun test` passing.
+- A `PLUGIN.md` in the plugin recording what moved, what did not, and why — the way `music` and `offscale`
+  did. This is the part that is worth most in three months.
+- `BLOCKERS.md` listing every decision you made without being able to ask.
+
+## What you may NOT do
+
+- No unauthenticated routes. A plugin cannot serve one; `UNPROTECTED_API_PREFIXES` is hardcoded in the
+  platform. If Atelier needs one, that is a blocker, not something to work around. (`plugins/kiosk`
+  is stuck on exactly this — read its README before concluding you have found a way.)
+- **Generated images are served through an authenticated route**, like every other plugin artefact. Every
+  image having "a permanent URL" was true of a standalone server with its own `PUBLIC_URL`; inside Officer
+  the URL is behind the session. If something needs an image without one — an `<img>` in an email, a
+  share link — that is a blocker to write down, not a route to open. See the image-rendering affordance
+  in `capabilities/affordances/officer/core/` for why an `<img>` cannot carry a token.
+- No changes to `src/servers/plugins/` to make Atelier fit. If the contract does not accommodate it, that
+  is a finding worth more than the workaround.
+- No second agent, no second worktree, no background job that writes to this tree.

+
+Officer creates the account; the upstream service owns it. This is the contract for doing that
+safely, written from the **`photos` plugin** (Immich) as the first worked example. The shape
+generalises: authenticate as an admin, check-then-create, verify the result, hand over a one-time
+password.
+
+**This directory holds documentation, not plugins.** The plugin itself lives in
+[`plugins/photos`](https://gitea.officer.dev/plugins/photos).
+
+---
+
+## The four rules
+
+1. **Never hardcode the admin credential.** Read it from the environment or the platform's
+   credential store, and never log it. Docs and repos get shared; credentials must not travel
+   with them.
+2. **Check before you create.** None of these APIs upsert. A second call with the same email is
+   an error, not a no-op — so provisioning must be re-runnable by listing first.
+3. **Force a password change.** Generate a strong random password, mark it as
+   must-change, and treat it as a one-time handover value. It stops being a secret the moment
+   the user logs in.
+4. **Verify by logging in.** A `201` means the row was written, not that the account works. Do a
+   real login before reporting success, so failures surface at provisioning time rather than when
+   the person first tries to use it.
+
+---
+
+## Worked example — Immich (`photos` plugin)
+
+Verified against **Immich 3.1.0**.
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| API root | `<base>/api` — e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:2283/api` |
+| Auth | header `x-api-key: <ADMIN_API_KEY>` |
+| Admin routes | `/api/admin/*` — reject non-admin keys with `401` |
+
+Immich stores API keys **SHA-256 hashed**, so a lost key can only be replaced, never recovered.
+Mint one in the UI → Account Settings → API Keys.
+
+### 1. Check (idempotency guard)
+
+```http
+GET /api/admin/users
+x-api-key: <ADMIN_API_KEY>
+```
+→ `200`, JSON array. If the target email is present, stop — already provisioned.
+
+### 2. Create
+
+```http
+POST /api/admin/users
+x-api-key: <ADMIN_API_KEY>
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "email": "person@example.com",
+  "password": "<generated>",
+  "name": "Full Name",
+  "shouldChangePassword": true
+}
+```
+
+**Required:** `email`, `password`, `name`.
+
+| Optional field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `shouldChangePassword` | bool | `true` ⇒ forced reset at first login. Always send it. |
+| `quotaSizeInBytes` | int | e.g. `1073741824` = 1 GiB. Omit for unlimited. |
+| `storageLabel` | string | Folder name used by the storage template. |
+| `notify` | bool | Emails the new user. Requires SMTP configured upstream. |
+
+→ **`201 Created`**, body carries the new `id`:
+
+```json
+{ "id": "70ee4cd2-…", "email": "person@example.com", "name": "Full Name",
+  "isAdmin": false, "shouldChangePassword": true, "quotaSizeInBytes": null }
+```
+
+`isAdmin` cannot be set at creation — promote afterwards via the admin update endpoint.
+Names are full Unicode (`Bruno Conceição`); send UTF-8, no escaping.
+
+### 3. Verify
+
+```http
+POST /api/auth/login
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{ "email": "person@example.com", "password": "<generated>" }
+```
+→ `200` with `{"name":…,"userEmail":…,"isAdmin":false,"shouldChangePassword":true}`.
+No API key — this is the ordinary user login path, which is exactly why it proves the account works.
+
+### Errors (observed, not guessed)
+
+| Condition | Status | Body |
+|---|---|---|
+| Email already exists | `400` | `{"message":"Email is not available"}` |
+| Missing `password` / `name` | `400` | `{"message":"Validation failed","errors":[{"path":["password"],…}]}` |
+| Bad or missing API key | `401` | — |
+
+### Deprovisioning
+
+```http
+DELETE /api/admin/users/{id}
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{ "force": true }
+```
+→ `200` with `{"status":"removing","deletedAt":"…"}`. Soft-delete; `force` skips the grace period.

+
+## Worked example — Jellyfin (`jellyfin` plugin)
+
+Same four rules, **different shape**. Read this section as: the route surface and auth model are
+**verified** against Jellyfin **10.11.11**; the request bodies are from working knowledge and
+marked as such — confirm them with the probe recipe below before relying on them in code.
+
+### How it differs from Immich — read this first
+
+| | Immich | Jellyfin |
+|---|---|---|
+| Auth header | `x-api-key: <key>` | `Authorization: MediaBrowser Token="<key>"` |
+| Create + configure | one call | **two or three** — create, then policy, sometimes password |
+| Force password change | `shouldChangePassword: true` | **no equivalent** — see below |
+| Scope of an account | one server | **per instance** — see below |
+
+Two consequences that bite:
+
+1. **There is no "must change password" flag.** Rule 3 cannot be enforced by the server.
+   **Decision for this deployment (2026-08-20): set a generated password at creation and tell the
+   user to change it.** Do *not* use the blank-password alternative — Jellyfin permits it, but the
+   account is then open to anyone who can reach the port until the user sets one.
+   So for Jellyfin, rule 3 becomes: still generate a strong unique password, still treat it as a
+   handover value, but the change is advisory rather than forced — which means **never reuse a
+   generated password across users or instances**, since it may stay valid indefinitely.
+2. **Users are per-instance, not global.** This deployment runs **four** independent Jellyfin
+   servers, each with its own user database and its own API keys:
+
+   | Instance | Port | Server name |
+   |---|---|---|
+   | `jellyfin` | 9301 | Jelly |
+   | `jellyfin_music` | 9302 | Albums |
+   | `jellyfin_dj_sets` | 9303 | DJ_Sets |
+   | `jellyfin_diogo` | 9399 | JellyDiogo |
+
+   Provisioning "a Jellyfin user" therefore means looping over whichever instances that person
+   should reach, with a **separate API key per instance**. There is no cross-server account.
+
+### Getting an API key
+
+Unlike Immich, Jellyfin has **no admin-token bootstrap from nothing** — creating a key requires
+an already-authenticated session. Two routes:
+
+- **UI:** Dashboard → API Keys → `+`. Simplest, and the one to use for first setup.
+- **API:** `POST /Auth/Keys?App=<name>` (verified: route exists, `401` unauthenticated), using a
+  token obtained from `POST /Users/AuthenticateByName` with an admin username/password
+  (verified: route exists; returns `415` if you omit the JSON content type).
+
+`GET /Auth/Keys` lists them (verified: exists, `401` unauthenticated). Keys are stored in
+`config/data/jellyfin.db`, table `ApiKeys`. **This deployment currently has zero API keys** — one
+must be created before any of the flow below will work.
+
+### The flow
+
+```http
+GET /Users
+Authorization: MediaBrowser Token="<API_KEY>"
+```
+→ verified: exists, `401` without auth. Use it as the **check** step (rule 2) — match on `Name`.
+
+```http
+POST /Users/New
+Authorization: MediaBrowser Token="<API_KEY>"
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{ "Name": "Full Name", "Password": "<generated>" }
+```
+→ verified: route exists (`401` unauthenticated). Body shape from working knowledge. Returns the
+created user object including its `Id` (a GUID), which the next calls need.
+
+Then, as needed:
+
+| Purpose | Endpoint | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Library access, admin rights, parental rating | `POST /Users/{id}/Policy` | Full policy object; **send the whole thing**, it replaces rather than merges. This is where `IsAdministrator` and `EnabledFolders` live. |
+| Set/replace password | `POST /Users/{id}/Password` | Needed if you created the user without one. |
+| Delete | `DELETE /Users/{id}` | Hard delete — no soft-delete/grace period, unlike Immich. |
+
+**Verify (rule 4)** with a real login rather than trusting the create:
+
+```http
+POST /Users/AuthenticateByName
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{ "Username": "Full Name", "Pw": "<generated>" }
+```
+→ returns an `AccessToken` and the `User` object on success. Note the field is `Pw`, not
+`Password`, and Jellyfin authenticates by **username**, not email — Jellyfin has no concept of an
+email login.
+
+### A public endpoint worth knowing
+
+`GET /Users/Public` needs **no authentication at all** (verified: `200`). It lists users flagged
+as visible on the login screen. On this deployment it returns `[]` on all four instances, so
+nothing is currently exposed — but if you provision users, be aware that leaving them
+login-screen-visible publishes their names to anyone who can reach the port.
+
+### Probe recipe (Jellyfin)
+
+Same spirit as the Immich one, but you need a key first, and there is no soft-delete — so probe on
+a **non-production instance** or be prepared to hard-delete:
+
+1. `GET /Users` with the key → `200` and an array. Wrong key → `401`.
+2. `POST /Users/New` with a throwaway name → expect the created object; keep the `Id`.
+3. Repeat the identical call → observe the duplicate-name behaviour and **record the exact status
+   and body here**, since it is the guard rule 2 depends on.
+4. `POST /Users/AuthenticateByName` with the throwaway credentials → expect an `AccessToken`.
+5. `DELETE /Users/{id}` → then `GET /Users` to confirm it is gone.
+
+---
+
+## Re-verifying after an upstream upgrade
+
+Cheap and non-destructive — create a probe user on an unroutable domain, exercise it, delete it:
+
+1. `POST /api/admin/users` with `probe-delete-me@example.invalid` → expect `201`, keep the `id`.
+2. Repeat the identical call → expect the duplicate-email `400`.
+3. `POST` with `password`/`name` omitted → expect the validation `400`.
+4. `POST` with a bogus key → expect `401`.
+5. `DELETE /api/admin/users/{id}` with `{"force":true}` → expect `200`, then `GET` to confirm it's gone.
+
+Use `.invalid` (RFC 2606 — guaranteed never to resolve) so a stray notification email can never
+reach a real person.

+# Deploy commander
+
+Start a commander with this. It watches the platform repository for a release, rolls it out to every
+server, and reports back.
+
+**It never decides what a deploy needs.** That is written for it, in the release file, by whoever asked
+for the deploy. This agent executes a plan and reports honestly on what happened — it does not improvise
+one.
+
+---
+
+## What wakes you
+
+You are not a loop. Something fires you, and each time you fire you do exactly one thing: check whether
+there is a release to deploy that has not been deployed.
+
+```bash
+git ls-remote --tags origin 'refs/tags/deploy/*'
+```
+
+**Poll a LOCAL remote, never the public hostname.** On `officer-dev`, gitea is a plugin on the same machine
+— it listens on `100.64.0.13:10023` and on loopback — so `origin` points there. `gitea.officer.dev` resolves
+to the public address and arrives through Nginx Proxy Manager, where every connection appears to come from
+one container IP: internet bots get that IP penalised by `srclimit_penalise`, and SSH is then refused for
+long stretches.
+
+That is not hypothetical and it is not subtle when it happens. On 2026-08-21 a tag pushed at 21:47 was not
+noticed until 23:07 — eighty minutes of `ls-remote` being closed on, forty-odd ticks, all correctly logged
+and retried. On 2026-08-22 it refused at 08:35 and again at 12:58. The loop is not at fault in any of those:
+it logs the exit code, sleeps, and carries on. It is simply asking through a door that is sometimes shut.
+
+If `ls-remote` fails with `Connection closed by <public ip> port 22`, that is this, and the remote is wrong
+rather than the credentials. Loopback needs a `known_hosts` entry that may not exist; the tailnet address is
+already trusted.
+
+A release is **a tag**, named `deploy/<version>` — `deploy/2026.08.21.01`. Nothing else triggers you: not
+a commit message, not a branch, not a push.
+
+**Why a tag and not a code word in a commit.** A code word can be written by accident. Every document
+about deploying contains it, this file included, and so does every conversation planning one — so the
+trigger has to be defended with rules about where in the subject line it sits, and a rule like that is
+one somebody eventually gets wrong. A tag cannot be typed into prose. It is created deliberately, it
+names its own version, and `git ls-remote` answers "is there one" in a single call without fetching.
+
+- **No untagged release** → say "no release pending" and stop. Do not pull, do not touch a server.
+- **A `deploy/*` tag with no local record** → that is the release. Continue.
+
+### One attempt per release, and you do not enforce that yourself
+
+**Before you spawn or run anything for a version, claim it:**
+
+```bash
+scripts/deploy-claim.sh claim <version>   # exit 0 = it is yours, exit 1 = do not proceed
+```
+
+Exit 1 means somebody already attempted this release. **Stop. Do not retry it, do not deploy it, and do
+not decide the previous attempt does not count.** Say what the script said and move on.
+
+On success, record it through the same script:
+
+```bash
+scripts/deploy-claim.sh done <version>
+```
+
+**Why this is a script and not a rule you follow.** A watcher loop is written fresh each time one arms, so
+a rule that lives only in this file gets re-implemented from scratch every time — and the wrong version of
+it looks right: test for the `.done` file, which exists only on SUCCESS. Write that and a failing release
+spawns a new agent every poll, all night, each one costing money. That is not hypothetical. It is what the
+first watcher did on 2026-08-21: a careful loop, honest logging, and an unbounded retry inside it.
+
+So the rule is code. `mkdir` is the claim — atomic, one syscall that both tests and takes, no window
+between checking and acting. The script refuses a second claim and keeps refusing, whatever happened to the
+first attempt.
+
+**A failed release is therefore not retried. It is looked at.** Clearing a claim is a deliberate human act
+(`rm -rf …/<version>.claim`) or a new tag. A loop cannot undo its own claim, which is the property that
+makes the storm impossible rather than unlikely.
+
+### The record is LOCAL, not in git
+
+```
+$OFFICER_ROOT/data/deploys/<version>.done
+```
+
+That file's existence means deployed. Written after the rollout, before the report is pushed.
+
+**This is deliberate and it is the important part.** The obvious design makes the pushed report the
+marker — and then a failed `git push` means the release looks undeployed and the next tick **does it all
+again**. Pushes here are genuinely unreliable: gitea's public SSH is rate-limited because every
+connection arrives from one proxy container IP and internet bots get it penalised, which cost several
+retries on 2026-08-21.
+
+So the lock is local and cannot fail for a network reason. The report is an ARTEFACT — valuable, and not
+load-bearing. A missing report is a missing record; a missing lock is a second deploy.
+
+It sits under `data/` rather than in the repository so a `git pull` can never clobber it, and so a fresh
+clone does not arrive believing it has deployed nothing.
+
+## Before a release is tagged — not your job, but know it happened
+
+Whoever cuts a release runs `bun run docs:check` first and leaves it green. It compares documented claims
+against values derived at run time — how many permissions the registry holds, how many PM2 entries Officer
+is, whether every settings route Spotlight offers actually exists — and exits non-zero on drift.
+
+It exists because "update the docs before a deploy" is a step that gets skipped at two in the morning and
+whose absence is invisible. On 2026-08-22 it found, immediately: `platform/CLAUDE.md` claiming 27 permission
+entries against a registry holding 18, and the workspace `CLAUDE.md` claiming twenty PM2 entries against
+thirteen, listing eleven processes that do not run here while omitting six that do.
+
+**You do not run it and you do not fix documentation.** You execute a plan and report. It is here so that a
+report saying "the docs are stale" has somewhere to point, and so nobody adds doc-fixing to a rollout, where
+it would put a prose edit between two hosts.
+
+## The release
+
+The tag names the version. The commit it points at carries the rest:
+
+- `package.json` — `version` matching the tag, `yyyy.mm.dd.NN` (`2026.08.21.01`), the mobile apps'
+  scheme. `NN` increments for a second deploy on the same day.
+- `deploy/<version>.md` — **the plan**. What to run, in order, and on which hosts. Written by hand.
+
+If the tag and `package.json` disagree, **stop and say so**. One of them is a mistake and guessing which
+is how the wrong tree gets deployed.
+
+If the plan file is missing, **stop and say so**. A release with no plan is not a release you can guess
+at, and guessing is how a database gets a schema it was not ready for.
+
+---
+
+## The servers
+
+**Read `docs/servers.md`.** Do not take a list of hosts from this file — there is deliberately none here,
+because a copy rots the day a server moves and the copy is always the one somebody trusts.
+
+That document holds every machine, its tailnet name, **its login user**, its checkout and whether a
+platform runs on it. Read it at the start of every deploy, and treat the hosts marked as having no
+platform as out of scope.
+
+It also has a **Deliberately skipped** section. A host listed there is not a target: name it as skipped
+in the report and spend nothing on it. On 2026-08-23 a host that was known to be down cost four attempts
+and a minute apiece before being reported unreachable — correct behaviour against a list that had not been
+told. Read that section before you try to reach anything.
+
+**The login is not always `pastilhas`.** `deadpool-rezio-bridge` runs as `br`, permanently, and more will.
+Take the user from the table — an orchestrator that hard-codes one fails on that host silently, because
+`Permission denied (publickey)` looks like a broken key rather than a wrong username.
+
+Four things that will catch you out, all verified rather than assumed:
+
+- **Never hard-code the path.** Take it from PM2: the `officer` process's `pm_cwd`. `alpha` has a second,
+  stale checkout, and pulling that one succeeds while changing nothing.
+- **`pm2` is not on a non-interactive PATH.** It is installed under nvm, and nvm lives in `.zshrc`, which
+  a _login_ shell does not read. Use `ssh <host> '$SHELL -ic "pm2 jlist"'`. `-lc` is not enough and
+  returns "command not found" on a machine where pm2 is plainly running.
+- **The git remotes differ.** `fofos` pulls over HTTPS; others over SSH. Never assume a URL — just
+  `git pull --ff-only` in place.
+- **`macbookpro` is macOS and is a laptop.** It may be asleep. Unreachable is a SKIP with a note, not a
+  failure of the deploy.
+
+---
+
+## Rolling it out
+
+Per host, in this order. Do them **one host at a time** and keep a record as you go — a report you
+assemble at the end from memory is a report that will be wrong about the host that failed.
+
+1. **Refuse a dirty tree — TRACKED changes only.** `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no`. Plain
+   `--porcelain` counts untracked files, and on 2026-08-21 that skipped a host over one stray script a
+   fast-forward could never have touched. Untracked files get a note in the report, not a skip. Never
+   discard someone's work to ship a release.
+2. **`git fetch origin --tags` then `git merge --ff-only <tag>`** — the TAG you are deploying, not
+   `master`. `git pull --ff-only` follows the branch, so a commit pushed while you are rolling out lands
+   on some hosts and not others, and "deployed the tag" stops being true of any of them. That happened on
+   2026-08-23: every host came up one commit past the tag because a docs commit landed mid-rollout. It was
+   harmless and it need not have been.
+
+   A non-fast-forward means that checkout has diverged: skip and report. A tag that will not fast-forward
+   because the host is AHEAD is the same answer — report it, do not reset.
+
+3. **Update the plugins.** `bun run plugins:update`. Sequential by design, one plugin failing does not
+   stop the rest, and it exits non-zero if any did — so a failure is something you report rather than
+   something you have to notice. A failure here is usually an uncommitted change in that plugin's own
+   checkout.
+4. **Run the plan's commands** for that host, in the order given. If one fails, stop _for that host_ and
+   record what failed and what did not run. Do not continue past a failed `bun install` or `db:push`.
+5. **Restart what the plan names**, and nothing else. Never `pm2 restart ecosystem.config.cjs` — it
+   bounces every sidecar including the vault.
+6. **Check it came back.** `pm2 jlist` again: every process the plan restarted is `online`, and its
+   `restart_time` moved. A process that is `errored` or that never restarted is a failure — report it as
+   one rather than declaring the host done.
+
+If a host fails, **continue to the next one**. A half-rolled-out release that is honestly reported beats
+one that stopped in the middle and said nothing about the four hosts it never reached.
+
+### Skip the host you are running on
+
+Entirely. Do not pull it, do not restart anything on it, and **name it in the report as skipped**.
+
+You are a session inside `officer-claude-code` on that machine. Restarting it ends you mid-rollout —
+which is not a hypothetical: on 2026-08-21 a manual deploy reached its own host last and had to leave
+that one sidecar alone to survive writing its own report.
+
+Restarting only `officer` and leaving your own sidecar behind would work, and it is worse: it puts one
+host in a state nobody chose, a step behind the others, discovered later. So skip the whole host and say
+which one. The owner restarts it deliberately, as the last step, once they are happy with the rest.
+
+Find it with `hostname` and match it against the list — do not assume you are on any particular one.
+
+---
+
+## The report
+
+Write the local record FIRST — `$OFFICER_ROOT/data/deploys/<version>.done` — then commit
+`deploy/<version>.report.md` and push it.
+
+That order matters. The record is what stops a second deploy, and the push is the part that can fail for
+reasons having nothing to do with the rollout. **If the push fails, say so and stop — do not retry into a
+loop and do not treat it as a failed deploy.** The deploy succeeded; its paperwork is pending.
+
+Never tag the report. A tag is the trigger, and a report that tags itself deploys itself forever.
+
+Per host: what its HEAD was before and after, which steps ran, which were skipped and why, which
+processes restarted, and whether they came back. Then one line at the top saying how many hosts
+succeeded out of how many.
+
+Say what you did not do. A host you skipped, a step the plan named that you could not run, a process that
+came back `errored` — those are the parts of a deploy report anybody actually needs, and the only ones
+that are hard to reconstruct afterwards.
+
+---
+
+## Being woken
+
+A background job does it, armed from the composer's background-job dialog with **Exit and hand back to the
+agent, then re-arm**. The wait happens in the shell, not in a model tick — a loop polling
+`git ls-remote`, which is one network call and no tokens.
+
+The loop cannot do a deploy: it cannot read a plan, judge a host or write a report. So on firing it spawns
+a headless agent — `claude -p "<read this file and follow it>" --dangerously-skip-permissions
+--output-format=stream-json --verbose` — and pipes the events through `jq` so the job panel shows progress
+instead of a blank box for twenty minutes.
+
+Two things that loop must get right, both learned by getting them wrong on 2026-08-21:
+
+- **Claim the version first**, per the section above. This is the one that costs money when missed.
+- **Set `OFFICER_ROOT` explicitly.** It is empty in the sidecar's environment, so the lock path resolves to
+  `/data/deploys` and the release looks permanently undeployed.
+
+The deploy therefore runs in a **separate** agent, not in the commander's own conversation: no Command HQ
+row, no cost on the commander's line, and its reasoning lives in that child's transcript. That is the price
+of putting the wait in the shell, and it is worth it — a model-side tick that re-reads a whole conversation
+to learn nothing is the thing being avoided.

+#
+# So the loop lives next to the claim it depends on, and changes with it.
+#
+# THE BASELINE IS THE CLAIM, NOT THE SUCCESS
+#
+# A watcher needs to know what counts as new. Here that is "no claim directory for this version" — a record

+ * ── Why it is a script and not a queue job ──
+ *
+ * The platform has no recurring scheduler and no way to put a prompt into a live session: `pushTurn` has
+ * exactly one caller, the chat websocket. Adding both is real work in the queue engine and the chat API,
+ * and doing it tonight would mean editing a repository an agent is currently working in.
+ *
+ * So this talks to the same doors a browser does — `GET /api/chat/sessions` to see the state, then the chat
+ * websocket to speak. Nothing new is exposed and nothing in the platform changes. If the loop is ever worth
+ * making permanent, it belongs in the queue with a real trigger, and this script is what that would replace.
+ *
+ * ── The one rule ──
+ *
+ * NEVER interrupt work. A nudge sent mid-turn is at best noise and at worst a derail, so `isGenerating` is
+ * checked immediately before speaking and a working session is skipped silently. The point is to restart a
+ * stopped agent, not to hurry a busy one.

+//
+// This file is the whole port. It exists once so that twenty-two themes cannot disagree about what
+// "muted" means, and so that improving the mapping improves all of them at once.
+//
+// ── What went wrong before, and what this fixes ──
+//
+// The previous port produced 34 declarations per theme against a contract of 84. The missing fifty were
+// every surface (`--panel-bg`, `--card-bg`, `--glass-bg`), every state colour (`--success`, `--warning`,
+// `--busy`, `--info`), the header, the scrollbars and the grid — so they fell back to whatever the base
+// stylesheet or the previous theme left behind. That is why highlights masked content and text faded
+// out: not taste, absence. It also shipped thirteen tokens nothing reads (`--chart-1..5`, `--sidebar-*`),
+// which is the tell that it came from a shadcn template rather than from this codebase's contract.
+//
+// ── The rule that makes them readable ──
+//
+// Every foreground is run through `ensureContrast` against the surface it actually sits on. A palette
+// whose colours are already readable is untouched; one that is not gets nudged toward black or white
+// until it passes, keeping as much hue as it can. So a theme cannot ship with invisible text, no matter
+// what its author chose.

+
+  ── Why it changed from three ──
+
+  It was `16 / 34 / 50`: a category column, a commander column, and the transcript. So half the screen was
+  navigation for a list that holds a handful of commanders — one, on the machine this was written on — while
+  the only thing anybody reads got the other half. A category pane of its own is a filter for a list short
+  enough to see whole.
+
+  Now: commanders on top, categories beneath them, transcript taking three quarters.
+
+  ── Why the categories are BELOW the commanders ──
+
+  Because the commanders are the thing you came for and the categories are how you narrow them when there
+  are too many to scan. Above, the filter would push the list down the screen and be the first thing read;
+  below, the list is at the top where a list belongs and the filter is where you reach for it. It also means
+  the categories can grow their own scrollbar without ever taking room from the commanders.

+//
+// `shift-space`, and ONLY that. Fifth setting: ctrl-space → shift-space → alt-space → ctrl-space →
+// shift-space. Every move was the owner naming a collision, and by now the list is the useful part:
+//
+//   ctrl-space   Brave takes it for the address bar, at the browser level. Tried twice, on the theory that
+//                preventDefault would win. It does not — the key never reaches this handler.
+//   alt-space    the GNOME window menu. He rebound the desktop to keep it, disliked the replacement, and
+//                would rather move the app than the window manager.
+//   shift-space  where it lands, with BOTH of its stock behaviours deliberately overridden.
+//
+// ── Shift-space overrides two things, on purpose ──
+//
+// It types a space in a text field, and it scrolls a page UP when nothing has focus. The owner's judgement,
+// and it is his to make: neither is worth a launcher. Page-up-by-shift-space is a fossil nobody reaches for,
+// and typing a space is what the unmodified spacebar is for.
+//
+// The cost, stated once because it is the one that will bite: typing in CAPS by holding shift rather than
+// using caps lock puts a shift-space between every word. That opens the launcher mid-sentence. If it turns
+// out to be a nuisance, the fix is a guard for text fields only — which this had for a day, and which is
+// what made the launcher unopenable from the composer, where it is most wanted.
+//
+// This is also why the ctrl+? registry names the file that implements each chord: five moves in three days
+// is the argument for making them configurable, not for choosing better.
+//
+// **Shift-space was never a good choice**, and that is why it did not last a day. It is a real key
+// combination inside a text field: it types a space, and people hold shift through one more often than
+// they think while typing capitals. Guarding it meant IGNORING the trigger whenever focus was in an input
+// — which is where focus usually is, the chat composer — so opening Spotlight meant clicking out first.
+// A launcher you have to prepare for is not a launcher.
+//
+// There is NO focus check, and here that is a choice with a cost rather than a free one — see above. The guard shift-space
+// needed was kept for one commit as "belt-and-braces" and was simply the old bug wearing a new hat: focus
+// is usually in the chat composer, so a launcher that stands down there is a launcher that does not open
+// when you want it. `preventDefault` on the handler covers the only real risk the guard addressed.
+//
+// Nothing else opens it. There is deliberately no second chord — two triggers for one thing means two
+// things to collide with, and this one moved twice already.
+//
+// Escape closes, arrows move, enter goes. The mouse works, but nothing here is designed around it.
+//
+// ── Sizing ──
+//
+// Loosened 2026-08-22: the first pass reused the app's list metrics (7px tile, text-sm, py-2) and read as
+// cramped, because this is not a list inside a panel — it is a modal you look at for two seconds with
+// nothing else competing for the eye. So the search input leads at `text-base`, rows are `py-2.5` with a
+// 9px tile, and the label is `text-[15px]` with the hint and path kept deliberately subordinate.
+//
+// The panel widened with them (560 → 640). Rows now carry a label, a hint and a route on one line, and the
+// route is the first thing to be squeezed out — it is also the thing that disambiguates two rows with the
+// same name.
+//
+// The results box grew 52vh → 60vh for the arithmetic reason: taller rows in the same box show fewer
+// results, and the cap on how many are listed was removed for a reason.
+
+/*
+  No cap, deliberately, and it used to be 8.
+
+  Eight was fine on the machine it was written on, which has few plugins. On a populated server the dock
+  carries fourteen plugin tiles and the core items alone fill all eight slots — so with an empty query the
+  list stopped at Browser and every plugin was unreachable unless you already knew its name well enough to
+  type it. A launcher you can only use for things you can already name is not doing the job.
+
+  The container has scrolled since it was written (`max-h-[52vh] overflow-y-auto`), so there was never a
+  layout reason for the limit, and the truncation was silent — nothing said "and 20 more", which is how a
