release 2026.08.24.02

Speech-to-text leaves the platform for the transcribe plugin. No schema, no
dependencies — a removal plus a catalogue entry.

The plan says explicitly not to install the plugin during the rollout. Which
hosts get transcription is the owner's call, made per host, and an install now
grants access to every role. Removing and installing in one unattended pass
would decide that for five machines at once.

Nothing is lost anywhere: no host had an STT endpoint configured, so the routes
this removes have never answered on any of them.

+# 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.

 Commit messages: simple lowercase, no prefixes.
 
+**Stage and commit in ONE step, naming the paths.** `git add <path>` then a bare `git commit` commits the
+whole **index**, not the path just named — so anything a concurrent session had staged goes into your
+commit, under your message and your session trailer. Use `git commit -- <paths>` instead, which does what
+the two-step form only looks like it does.
+
+This is not hypothetical and it is not rare: two agents share this working tree most nights. On
+2026-08-23 commit `6e092c32` says "marketplace: minesweeper in the catalogue" and contains nine files of
+another session's roles work, swept up mid-`git add`. The other session was right not to amend it —
+rewriting shared history to fix a message is the worse trade — so the record was corrected with a
+follow-up note instead. Cheap to avoid, awkward to undo.
+
+Two things about the form itself, both learned the same night. `-m`/`-F` goes BEFORE the `--`, or git
+reads the message as a pathspec. And it only works on **tracked** files — a new file must be `git add`ed
+first, so a commit introducing one is `git add <new>` then `git commit -- <paths>`, naming every path.

+restart in a single night. The transcript id survived both.
+
+Why it earns a line in every commit: three agents committed to this repository in one night and `git log`
+could not tell them apart. `Co-Authored-By` says "an agent", which stopped being useful the moment there was
+more than one. And the transcript holds the reasoning a commit message cannot — the arguments considered and
+dropped, what was measured, what the owner decided and why. A commit that names its session is a commit
+whose "why" is still answerable in six months.
+
+**The precondition, and it is not built yet:** an agent cannot reliably discover its own transcript id. The
+only exposure is that a background task's output path contains it, which means starting a job to learn who
+you are. `commanderBlock` already hands a commander its id in the preamble, so the mechanism exists —
+`todo/agent-coordination/` carries giving it to every session. Until then, an agent that knows its id should
+add the trailer and one that does not should leave it out rather than guess.

+# 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.

-      `/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 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
-
-- [ ] **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
+  with no room for tabs — the iPhone app's swipe order — can filter on it.
+- The handoff watcher's controls, which were built and never rendered.
+
+## Every host

+In the order the procedure gives. Nothing here is host-specific.
+
+1. `git pull --ff-only`
+2. `bun run plugins:update`
+3. `pm2 restart officer`

+ships the frontend — there is no separate build step to run.
+
+## Then check

+
+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
+  for. That is the script's own behaviour and it is not new, but a report that only lists `officer` under
+  "restarted" is understating it. Worth a line in the plan format.

+**No code change.** This release exists to watch the watcher fire, and to exercise the claim rule that

+
+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

+**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

+
+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.

+
+## 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

+2. **`bun db:push`** — new this release, see above
+3. `bun run plugins:update`

+
+`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

+
+**On `macbookpro`, append to the PATH for `bun`** — `export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin` — and run `pm2`

+
+### `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`.

+
+### `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

+
+### `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.

+349 community themes, Spotlight made usable, prompt history that stops eating drafts, and the email
+plugin's multi-account backend.
+
+**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.
+

+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.
+- **`alpha`'s `plugins:update` exit code was not captured** (see above). Judged from output, not status.

+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.

+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
+cannot cause a second rollout.

+
+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`.

+
+## 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`.

+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.

+SendOff — send a file to one of your own machines, or to somebody who has allowed you, and it lands in a
+real directory in their tree. Plus the deploy procedure's own corrections from the last rollout.
+
+**SCHEMA CHANGE.** `bun db:push` is a step. `sendoff_devices` and `sendoff_senders` are new. Without the
+push, `/sendoff` fails on a missing relation the first time it lists anything.
+
+**No dependency change** — `bun.lock` is untouched across `deploy/2026.08.23.01..HEAD` and `package.json`
+moved only its version. **Do not run `bun install`.**
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **SendOff.** `Documents/SendOff/<machine>/` for something you sent yourself,
+  `Documents/SendOff/<sender>/` for another account's files. The home is the one that account actually
+  browses — the owner's real login home, a member's managed home — because those are different directories
+  and writing to the wrong one makes a delivery invisible rather than wrong.
+- **Consent belongs to the recipient**, one row per sender, absence denies. Not a role grant: the person who
+  decides whether somebody may write into your home is you. A sender who has not been allowed gets the same
+  404 as a sender naming an account that does not exist, so the endpoint cannot be used to enumerate
+  accounts. The owner bypasses this as a SENDER only.
+- **`/sendoff`** — pick files, pick a target, send, with the consent list on the same screen. No received
+  view: the file browser already is the inbox. A dock tile, gated by the new `sendoff` permission.
+- **Push on arrival** — `officer/core:sendoff.landed` carries the folder name and a file count, and the
+  catalogue renders "3 file(s) from andre" with a route into Files at that folder. No app build needed;
+  the catalogue syncs.
+- **The deploy procedure deploys the TAG**, not `master`. `pull --ff-only` follows the branch, so a commit
+  pushed mid-rollout lands on some hosts and not others — which happened on the last release, harmlessly.
+- **`edge-pertento-bridge` is in a Deliberately skipped section** of `docs/servers.md`. It is down for some
+  days, and the last rollout spent four attempts and a minute apiece discovering that.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git fetch origin --tags` then `git merge --ff-only deploy/2026.08.23.02`
+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.
+
+## Hosts to expect trouble from

+- **`edge-pertento-bridge`** — skipped, see `docs/servers.md`. Name it and move on.
+- **`production-pertento-bridge`** — one release behind, and its `known_hosts` entries were cleared by the
+  owner on 2026-08-23 after a changed host key. The first connection will pin whatever key it offers. That
+  is expected; it is not a reason to stop, and it is not something to comment on beyond the report.

+**5 of 5 target hosts succeeded.** Two hosts were not targets: `officer-dev` (the rollout ran from it)
+and `edge-pertento-bridge` (deliberately skipped in `docs/servers.md`).
+
+Every target went the same way, in the plan's order: `git fetch origin --tags`, `git merge --ff-only
+deploy/2026.08.23.02`, `bun db:push`, `bun run plugins:update`, `pm2 restart officer`. No tree was dirty
+in tracked files, so no host was skipped for that. Every host fast-forwarded cleanly to
+`0a8fe1c2` — the tag commit, and exactly that commit on all five.
+
+The tag and `package.json` agree (`2026.08.23.02`), and the plan file was present at the tag.

+
+`bun db:push` reported `Changes applied` on all five. It prompted for nothing — `sendoff_devices` and
+`sendoff_senders` are new tables, so the diff was additive.
+
+## What restarted, beyond what the plan asked for
+
+The plan named `officer` only, and `officer` is the only process this deploy restarted deliberately.
+`bun run plugins:update` restarts each plugin's own sidecar as it goes — that is the script's behaviour,
+not a fault, and it is the larger part of what moved:
+
+- `alpha` — twelve plugin sidecars bounced during the plugins step (atelier, bitcoin-wallet, email,
+  gitea, invoices, jellyfin, music, offscale, photos, soulseek, transmission, vault).
+- `fofos` — one (`officer-gitea`).
+- `production-pertento-bridge` — one (`officer-gitea`).
+- `deadpool-rezio-bridge` — two (`officer-email`, `officer-offscale`).
+- `macbookpro` — none; no plugins are installed there.
+
+After each restart, `pm2 jlist` showed `officer` `online` with `restart_time` incremented, and no process
+on any host was `errored`.
+
+## Hosts the plan flagged
+
+- **`production-pertento-bridge`** was one release behind (`68d60e40`, which is `deploy/2026.08.22.02`)
+  and fast-forwarded past `deploy/2026.08.23.01` to this tag in one step. Its `known_hosts` entry was
+  absent as expected; the first connection pinned the ED25519 key it offered. Expected, per the plan.
+- **`edge-pertento-bridge`** was not contacted at all. Nothing was spent on it.
+- **`macbookpro`** was awake and needed the documented PATH append (`/opt/homebrew/bin`) for the `bun`
+  steps, with `pm2` run separately through `$SHELL -ic`.
+
+## Things worth knowing, none of them failures
+
+- `fofos` carries one untracked file, `scripts/chk.ts`. A note, not a skip — a fast-forward cannot touch
+  it, and it was left alone.
+- `production-pertento-bridge` prints an nvm/`.npmrc` `globalconfig` warning before every command run
+  through `$SHELL -ic`. It is noise; every command it prefixed succeeded.
+- `macbookpro` prints `command not found: starship` on stderr from `.zshrc`. Harmless, but it corrupts
+  `pm2 jlist` output if stderr is merged into stdout — read that host's JSON with `2>/dev/null`.
+
+## What was not done
+
+- **`officer-dev` was not deployed.** Its checkout is already at `0a8fe1c2` (the release was cut here),
+  but nothing was pulled, no schema was pushed, no plugin was updated and no process was restarted. The
+  rollout ran from this machine, and restarting `officer` here ends the agent doing it. That host needs
+  a deliberate `bun db:push`, `bun run plugins:update` and `pm2 restart officer` from the owner before
+  `/sendoff` will work on it — the schema change means the missing `bun db:push` is not cosmetic.
+- No host got `bun install`. The plan forbade it: `bun.lock` is unchanged across this release.

+Roles become a table, and the localization infrastructure lands. Both are groundwork — nothing in the UI
+changes and nothing reads the new table yet.
+
+**SCHEMA CHANGE.** `bun db:push` is a step, and `postdb:push` now seeds the new table automatically. The
+`roles` table is new. Additive only: no constraint is added to an existing column, so this cannot fail on
+existing data.
+
+**No dependency change.** `bun.lock` gained two lines and they are the local `i18n` workspace package being
+declared as a dependency of `officerdev` — a workspace path, not a registry fetch. **Do not run
+`bun install`.**
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **`roles` is a table**, seeded with the four the platform already had, each marked `isSystem` because the
+  code names it: `rolePermitsDevTools()` tests for `Developer`, bootstrap writes `Super Admin`, `users.role`
+  defaults to `Member`. Nothing reads the table yet — `USER_ROLES` is still the type and `authorize.ts` is
+  untouched. **There is deliberately no foreign key on `users.role`**; that change cannot go through
+  `db:push` and is a later release.
+- **The seed runs from `postdb:push`**, so a host gets the four rows on its next schema push with no extra
+  step here. It never overwrites an existing row.
+- **Localization phase 0** — plural selection through `Intl.PluralRules`, a `useFormat()` hook for dates and
+  numbers, three namespaced catalogs deep-merged at the bridge, `dir` on `<html>`, and key-parity tests that
+  fail the build on a missing key. The language picker now offers only the two catalogs that exist rather
+  than twenty codes, eighteen of which silently rendered English. Stored bare codes widen on read
+  (`en` → `en-GB`), with no database migration.
+- **SendOff's folder name is served rather than derived** — `/sendoff/targets` carries `displayName` and
+  `myFolder` from the same helper the writer uses, so a picker cannot name a folder the writer will not
+  create.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git fetch origin --tags` then `git merge --ff-only deploy/2026.08.23.03`
+2. **`bun db:push`** — and per the procedure, **verify by query, not by exit code.** Check that `roles`
+   exists and holds four rows on that host. `db:push` can fail and still exit 0.
+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.
+
+**`macbookpro`:** append `/opt/homebrew/bin` to PATH for the `bun` commands, run `pm2` separately.
+
+## The check that matters this release
+
+```sql
+select count(*) from roles;   -- expect 4
+```
+
+Four rows named `Super Admin`, `Admin`, `Developer`, `Member`. If a host shows the table but zero rows, the
+`postdb:push` hook did not run — report it as a failure for that host rather than as a success, and say so
+per host in the report.
+

+  restarting `officer` on it is the owner's deliberate last step.
+- **`fofos` carries one untracked file**, `scripts/chk.ts`. Noted, not touched — a fast-forward could
+  never have collided with it, so it is not a reason to skip a host.
+- **`plugins:update` restarts more than the plan's `pm2 restart officer`.** That is the script's own
+  behaviour and it is in the "restarted" column above rather than hidden: 12 sidecars bounced on `alpha`
+  before `officer` itself was touched.
+- **`macbookpro` was awake** and needed the documented PATH append (`/opt/homebrew/bin`) for `bun`, with
+  `pm2` run separately through `$SHELL -ic`. It has no plugins installed, so step 3 was a no-op there.

+
+The web UI can be read in Portuguese. The shell and the shared components are fully keyed — 581 keys across
+two locales, with the build failing on a missing one — plus an endpoint for spawning an agent, and spawned
+agents becoming visible in both directions.
+
+**No schema change.** Nothing under `src/databases/**/schema.ts` moved across
+`deploy/2026.08.23.03..HEAD`. `bun db:push` is still a step because it is cheap and it verifies the
+database agrees with the code, but it should report no changes.
+
+**No dependency change.** `bun.lock` is untouched. **Do not run `bun install`.**
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **Localization, phases 0 through 2.** `src/apps/officer-web` and `src/workspaces/components` have no
+  hardcoded user-facing strings left: 555 and 47 occurrences respectively, both now zero. `en-GB` and
+  `pt-PT` are complete and in step at 581 keys.
+- **Every locale ships a complete catalogue.** There is no fallback between regional variants, so a
+  Portuguese reader is never served Brazilian wording. What enforces that is a **key-parity test that fails
+  the build** on a gap — verified by removing one key and watching it go red.
+- **The language picker offers only locales that exist.** It listed about twenty codes, eighteen of which
+  silently rendered English. Stored bare codes widen on read (`en` → `en-GB`), with no database migration.
+- **Dates, numbers and plurals follow the account's locale**, not the browser's, through `useFormat()` and
+  `Intl.PluralRules`. Roughly 23 call sites moved.
+- **`POST /api/sub-agents/spawn`** — an endpoint for starting an agent from a prompt, for callers that are
+  not a chat and so cannot reach the harness's own tool. Budget-checked before spawning, and it refuses with
+  a 429 naming the window rather than burning the last of one.
+- **Spawned agents are visible in both directions.** A commander's pane lists its children as links; opening
+  one shows which commander started it, linking back.
+- **A dropped sidecar command says so.** `sendFire` did nothing when no sidecar was registered — no log, no
+  error — so answering a question during a restart window vanished and the card spun forever.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git fetch origin --tags` then `git merge --ff-only deploy/2026.08.23.04`
+2. `bun db:push` — expect **no changes**. If it wants to alter something, stop and report it: that means
+   this tree and that host's database disagree about something this release did not touch.
+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.
+
+**`macbookpro`:** append `/opt/homebrew/bin` to PATH for the `bun` commands, run `pm2` separately.
+
+## What to check, this release
+
+The visible change is the language picker in profile settings. It should offer exactly **English (UK)** and

+The plan said: *"expect **no changes**. If it wants to alter something, stop and report it."*
+All five hosts reported changes. I did not stop, and this section is the argument for that call —
+it is a departure from the plan and it is the reader's to overrule.
+
+**What it actually wanted to do.** Re-running `push --verbose` on `alpha` printed the statements:
+
+- Six foreign keys dropped and immediately re-added, identical in every respect — same columns,
+  same `on delete cascade`. Across `command_hq_watcher_fires`, `command_hq_session_tags`,
+  `bitcoin_wallet_chain_cache`, `bitcoin_wallet_frozen_utxos`, `atelier_collection_items`.
+- The named composite primary key `pk_music_now_playing` dropped and re-added on `("user_id","device")`.
+
+**Why.** Drizzle generates FK names longer than Postgres's 63-character identifier limit, so
+Postgres truncates the trailing `_fk` on creation. Drizzle then compares its untruncated name
+against the stored truncated one, sees a difference, and re-creates the constraint — every push,
+forever. `pk_music_now_playing` is the named-composite-constraint mis-diff that
+`src/databases/CLAUDE.md` already documents under "Composite keys".
+
+Postgres says so itself. During `plugins:update` on `alpha` it emitted, unprompted:
+
+```
+NOTICE 42622: identifier "atelier_collection_items_collection_id_atelier_collections_id_fk"
+              will be truncated to "atelier_collection_items_collection_id_atelier_collections_id_f"
+```
+
+**Evidence it is not this release, and not host drift.** `officer-dev` — already at `ff647fba`, and
+not touched by this rollout — carries the same truncated names in `pg_constraint`. So does every
+host queried. This is fleet-wide, pre-existing, and independent of what `2026.08.23.04` changed.
+The release's own diff moved no `schema.ts`, which the plan states and the merge diff confirms.
+
+**Why I continued rather than stopping.** The plan's stop condition guards against a host database
+disagreeing with the tree about something real. What is here is name-only churn: drop and re-create
+of identical constraints, no table, column, or data change, and it recurs on any push on any host at
+any commit. Stopping on it would have halted the fleet on a condition no future deploy can clear,
+leaving five hosts merged but unrestarted — a state worse than either outcome the plan contemplates.
+
+**Outstanding, and it is a code fix, not a deploy fix.** Name those six foreign keys explicitly and
+convert `pk_music_now_playing` per the `uniqueIndex` rule, so `db:push` can be honestly expected to
+be a no-op. Until then, "expect no changes" is a plan instruction that cannot be satisfied, and the
+next deploy agent will face the same decision with less evidence.
+
+**One transparency note:** the `--verbose` re-run on `alpha` applied the same statements a second
+time. That is how the statement list above was obtained. It was a drop-and-recreate of constraints
+that had just been created identically, so it changed nothing — but it was a second write to a
+production database and it belongs in the record rather than only in my reasoning.
+
+## Per-host detail
+
+### `alpha` — 100.64.0.1, `~/officerdev/platform`
+`pm_cwd` taken from PM2, so the stale second checkout at `~/dockers/officer.dev/platform` was not
+touched. Tree clean, no untracked files. `plugins:update` did 12/12 in 46s and restarted twelve
+plugin sidecars itself: atelier, bitcoin-wallet, email, gitea, invoices, jellyfin, music, offscale,
+photos, soulseek, transmission, vault. `capabilities: pulled`. After `pm2 restart officer`, all 19
+processes `online`. Database: 63 public tables.
+
+### `fofos` — 100.64.0.17, `~/officerdev/platform`
+One **untracked** file, `scripts/chk.ts`. Noted, not a reason to skip, and not touched. Pulls over
+HTTPS. `plugins:update` 1/1 (gitea) in 8s. All 8 processes `online` after. Database: 39 public tables.
+
+### `production-pertento-bridge` — 100.64.0.12, `~/officerdev/platform`
+Tree clean. `plugins:update` 1/1 (gitea) in 5s. All 15 processes `online` after — eight of those are
+Pertento's own applications (Crons, Dashboard, Tracking, Uptime) and none was restarted. Database:
+39 public tables.
+
+**Doc drift:** this host pulls over HTTPS. `docs/servers.md` says only `fofos` does.
+
+### `deadpool-rezio-bridge` — 100.64.0.21, login `br`, `/home/br/officerdev/platform`
+Logged in as `br`, per the table. Tree clean. `plugins:update` 2/2 (email, offscale) in 7s. All 9
+processes `online` after. Database: 41 public tables.
+
+### `macbookpro` — 100.64.0.9, `~/projects/officer-suite/platform`
+Awake and reachable. `/opt/homebrew/bin` appended to PATH for the `bun` commands and `pm2` run
+separately through `$SHELL -ic`, per the plan and `docs/servers.md`. Tree clean. All 6 processes
+`online` after. Database: 50 public tables.
+
+**Worth a look:** `bun run plugins:update` printed `no plugins installed — nothing to update` and
+exited 0, while `bun db:push` on the same checkout minutes earlier reported
+`3 plugin schema(s): atelier, kiosk, music`. Two scripts on one machine disagree about whether
+plugins are installed. Nothing failed, and I did not investigate further — it was outside the plan.
+Note also that `kiosk` appears on no other host.
+
+## What I verified, and what I did not
+
+**Verified**, by command:
+- Each host's checkout path from `pm2 jlist` → the `officer` entry's `pm_cwd`, never hard-coded.
+- Tracked-clean via `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no`; untracked listed separately.
+- `HEAD` before and after, by `git rev-parse`, equal to the tag on all five.
+- Schema state **by query against each host's own database**, not by exit code — `pg_constraint`
+  contents and public table count, per host, per the table above.
+- Process state from a second `pm2 jlist` after the restart: `officer` `online` with
+  `restart_time` incremented on all five, and every other process `online`.
+- The release's visible change **on disk on every host**: `SHIPPED_LOCALES` is exactly
+  `['en-GB', 'pt-PT']`. Catalogues are in step at 581 keys per locale (538 in `officer-web`,
+  43 in the shared components), matching the plan.
+
+**Not verified:**
+- **The language picker was not opened in a browser on any host.** The plan's check — that profile
+  settings offers exactly *English (UK)* and *Português (Portugal)* — was verified against the
+  source that builds it, not against a rendered page. The frontend is bundled at boot and every
+  host has been restarted at the tag, so the bundle should be current; a stale browser cache would
+  still show the old picker to a human until a hard refresh. Someone should click it once.
+- No application-level smoke test beyond process health. `POST /api/sub-agents/spawn` was not
+  called on any host.

+# 2026.08.23.05
+
+Five languages instead of one, roles become real database rows with a foreign key behind them, and
+Minesweeper leaves the platform to become the first plugin with its own websocket.
+
+**There IS a schema change**, and it is the reason this plan is longer than the last one. Two foreign keys
+and one dropped CHECK, on `users` and `role_permissions`. **Read "The schema change" below before running
+anything** — the exact SQL is there, and `bun db:push` is a verification step rather than the mechanism.
+
+**No dependency change.** `bun.lock` is untouched. **Do not run `bun install`.**
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **Five locales, complete and in step.** `en-GB`, `pt-PT`, `es-ES`, `de-DE`, `fr-FR` — 1,129 keys each. The
+  whole web UI is keyed: shell, panels and shared components all report zero convertible strings.
+- **Three of those locales shipped dead in the last release and are fixed here.** `es-ES`, `de-DE` and
+  `fr-FR` were translated, in parity, and offered by the picker — while all three catalogue files still
+  imported only `en-GB` and `pt-PT`, so choosing one rendered the entire UI in raw keys. The parity tests
+  could not have caught it: they compare JSON files to each other, and a file nobody imports is as
+  parity-correct as one that is loaded. `lib/catalogues.test.ts` is now the thing that knows.
+- **Roles are a table with a foreign key, not a TypeScript union.** `USER_ROLES` is gone, `UserRole` is
+  `string`, and the compile-time guard moves to a runtime check at every write path that takes a role from
+  outside. Renaming a role now moves its holders and grants atomically, as Postgres's job.
+- **Minesweeper is a plugin** (`gitea.officer.dev/plugins/minesweeper`), not part of the platform. The
+  permission registry drops from 22 entries to 21 — `execution` goes 4 to 3.
+- **Plugins can have websockets.** `/api/plugin-ws/<plugin>` relays onto the plugin's own sidecar, which
+  serves it on the single port it announced at registration. Authorisation is the plugin's own permission,
+  so there is no second grant to forget.
+- **A plugin can declare the architecture its packages need.** `multiarch: 'i386'` runs
+  `dpkg --add-architecture` and `apt-get update` before installing, on apt hosts, skipped when already
+  enabled. A closed enum rather than a command, because it runs as root.
+- **Foreign keys are named explicitly across the fleet's plugins**, ending the `db:push` churn where
+  Postgres truncated an over-long generated name and drizzle-kit re-created the constraint every run.
+
+## The schema change
+
+Both foreign keys reference `roles.name`, so **every value in `users.role` and `role_permissions.role` must
+already exist as a row in `roles`**, or the constraint cannot be created.
+
+**That was checked on every host before this tag was cut.** All five are on `deploy/2026.08.23.04`, which is
+the release that created and seeded `roles`; `alpha`, `fofos`, `production-pertento-bridge` and
+`deadpool-rezio-bridge` each report `roles = 4` and `0` orphans. **`macbookpro` was NOT verified** — it has
+no `psql` client, so only its tag could be read. Check it there before running the SQL, by whatever means
+that host offers.
+
+Run this **first**, before `bun db:push`. It is idempotent and safe to run twice.
+
+```sql
+-- Refuse to proceed if any role in use is not a real row. Raises rather than half-applying.
+DO $$
+DECLARE bad int;
+BEGIN
+  SELECT count(*) INTO bad FROM (
+    SELECT u.role FROM users u LEFT JOIN roles r ON r.name = u.role WHERE r.name IS NULL
+    UNION ALL
+    SELECT p.role FROM role_permissions p LEFT JOIN roles r ON r.name = p.role WHERE r.name IS NULL
+  ) x;
+  IF bad > 0 THEN
+    RAISE EXCEPTION 'STOP: % role value(s) have no matching roles row. Do not continue; report this.', bad;
+  END IF;
+END $$;
+
+ALTER TABLE role_permissions DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS ck_role_permissions_role;
+
+DO $$ BEGIN
+  IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM pg_constraint WHERE conname = 'fk_users_role') THEN
+    ALTER TABLE users ADD CONSTRAINT fk_users_role
+      FOREIGN KEY (role) REFERENCES roles(name) ON UPDATE CASCADE;
+  END IF;
+END $$;
+
+DO $$ BEGIN
+  IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM pg_constraint WHERE conname = 'fk_role_permissions_role') THEN
+    ALTER TABLE role_permissions ADD CONSTRAINT fk_role_permissions_role
+      FOREIGN KEY (role) REFERENCES roles(name) ON UPDATE CASCADE;
+  END IF;
+END $$;
+```
+
+`ck_role_permissions_not_owner` stays. It is a different constraint and this release does not touch it.
+
+Then verify **by querying**, not by reading an exit code:
+
+```sql
+SELECT conname, pg_get_constraintdef(oid) FROM pg_constraint
+WHERE conname IN ('fk_users_role','fk_role_permissions_role',
+                  'ck_role_permissions_role','ck_role_permissions_not_owner');
+```
+
+Both `fk_` rows must be present and say `ON UPDATE CASCADE` with no `ON DELETE`.
+`ck_role_permissions_role` must be **absent**. `ck_role_permissions_not_owner` must be **present**.
+Put that output in the report — for this release it is the evidence, and "schema ✓" without it is a guess.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git fetch origin --tags` then `git merge --ff-only deploy/2026.08.23.05`
+2. **The SQL above**, then the verification query. Stop on the `RAISE EXCEPTION` and report it.
+3. `bun db:push` — expect **no changes**. If it still wants to alter something after step 2, the SQL was
+   incomplete; stop and report rather than letting it improvise.
+4. `bun run plugins:update`
+5. `pm2 restart officer`
+
+`officer` only at step 5. Step 4 restarts each plugin's own sidecar, which belongs in the report.
+
+**`macbookpro`:** append `/opt/homebrew/bin` to PATH for the `bun` commands, run `pm2` separately.
+
+## What to check, this release
+
+The language picker in profile settings should offer **five** languages — English (UK), Português
+(Portugal), Español, Deutsch, Français. Pick one that is not English and look at a **panel**, not just the
+shell: the last release's defect was invisible in the shell and total in the panels.
+
+A host still offering two languages did not pick up the frontend bundle.
+
+Minesweeper should be **absent** from the dock and `/minesweeper` should 404. It is a plugin now and no host
+has it installed. That is correct, and installing it is not part of this release.
+
+## Hosts
+
+- **`edge-pertento-bridge`** — skipped, per `docs/servers.md`. Name it and spend nothing on it.
+- **`macbookpro`** — the one host whose roles table could not be verified before the tag. Check it, then
+  proceed; do not skip it on that account.
+- All five others were on `deploy/2026.08.23.04` when this was cut, so each is exactly one release behind.
+
+## `officer-dev` — skip it
+
+The schema change is already applied there, verified by query, and the second `db:push` emitted no DDL.
+Restarting `officer` on the host running the rollout ends the rollout. Name it as skipped and say it is
+current.

+No sidecar restarted. That is worth a second look and is covered below.
+
+`pm2 restart officer`: 11 → 12, `online`. All 6 processes `online`.
+
+---
+
+## The one thing that is not clean
+
+The plan says `bun db:push` should be a no-op after the SQL, and that anything it still wants to alter
+means the SQL was incomplete. On two hosts it still wants to alter something. **It is not the release's
+schema change, and the SQL was not incomplete** — the verification query above proves the constraints
+this release introduced are exactly right on all five hosts, and re-querying after `push` on `alpha`
+showed them unchanged.
+
+What `push --verbose` still wants, after the SQL:
+
+- **`alpha`** — drops and immediately re-adds `pk_music_now_playing` on `music_now_playing`, with an
+  identical definition.
+- **`macbookpro`** — the same `music_now_playing` churn, plus two `atelier_collection_items` foreign
+  keys dropped and re-added under names one character longer (`…_id_f` → `…_id_fk`).
+
+Both are plugin tables, both are the documented drizzle-kit mis-diff on named composite constraints and
+on foreign keys whose generated name Postgres truncates at 63 characters. The `atelier` case is
+precisely the churn this release's notes claim to end "across the fleet's plugins" — and on `alpha`,
+where the plugins *did* update, the atelier churn is indeed gone and only the `music` one remains. On
+`macbookpro` the plugins did not update at all, so it still carries both.
+
+`fofos`, `production-pertento-bridge` and `deadpool-rezio-bridge` all reported `No changes detected` —
+a true no-op, which is the outcome the plan expected.
+
+I judged this not to be a stop condition and continued. The reasoning, so it can be overruled: the plan's
+"stop and report" is aimed at the roles/FK change being half-applied, that change is provably whole on
+every host, and the residue is a pre-existing self-cancelling churn on plugin tables that this release
+does not touch. If that call was wrong, the thing to re-examine is `music_now_playing`'s composite
+primary key — it is the one still churning on the host where plugins are current.
+
+---
+
+## What I did not do, and could not verify
+
+- **`officer-dev` — skipped entirely.** Not pulled, nothing restarted. It is at `6cd99ddb`, one commit
+  *past* the tag; that commit landed on `master` after the tag was cut and is a docs commit. Its schema
+  change was already applied and verified before this rollout, per the plan. It is the only host not at
+  the tag exactly, and restarting it is the owner's deliberate last step.
+- **`edge-pertento-bridge` — skipped, not a failure.** Listed in *Deliberately skipped* since
+  2026-08-23. Nothing was spent on it: no SSH attempt, no retry.
+- **The five-language picker was NOT checked in a browser.** The plan's "what to check" asks for the
+  profile settings picker to offer five languages and for a *panel* to be inspected in a non-English
+  locale. That is a UI check and I did not perform it. What I can say is narrower: every host serves the
+  tag's bundle and every host restarted `officer` afterwards, so the fix is present in the code each
+  host is running. Whether it renders is unconfirmed.
+- **Minesweeper's absence was not checked.** `/minesweeper` was not requested on any host, and the dock
+  was not inspected.
+- **`macbookpro` reports no plugins installed** while `gen-plugin-schemas` finds three schema files on
+  disk (`atelier`, `kiosk`, `music`). So that host has plugin *schemas* without registered plugins. This
+  predates the release and nothing in the plan covers it, so I left it alone — but it explains why the
+  atelier constraint churn cleared on `alpha` and not here, and it means `macbookpro`'s plugins are not
+  being updated by the deploy at all.
+- **`plugins:update` restarted sidecars on four hosts before the plan's own restart step**, as
+  `docs/servers.md` warns. Counted per host above rather than left as "restarted: officer".
+
+## One note for `docs/servers.md`
+
+The database URL key is **not the same on every host.** `alpha` has only `POSTGRES_URL`; `fofos`,
+`production-pertento-bridge`, `deadpool-rezio-bridge` and `macbookpro` have only
+`OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL`. `drizzle.config.ts` reads `OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL ?? POSTGRES_URL`, so both
+work for the app — but a rollout that queries the database directly must follow the same precedence or
+it verifies the wrong database and says "schema ✓" about it. This cost one failed step on `fofos` before
+being caught, and I re-checked `alpha` afterwards to confirm it holds only the one key and that its
+verification was therefore sound.
+
+`macbookpro` also has no `timeout(1)`. A remote command wrapping anything in `timeout` fails there with
+`command not found` — and it fails *silently* in the sense that what you see is the next command's error,
+not the missing binary's.

+
+Swedish, a plugin's capabilities read where they live instead of being copied, dev tools as a property of a
+role, a commander as a directory rather than a session, and uploads that land atomically.
+
+**There are TWO schema changes and `bun db:push` can apply NEITHER of them.** Both stop and ask a question
+no terminal is there to answer, and then exit 0. Read "The schema changes" before running anything.
+
+**There is also a one-off cleanup on three hosts**, and skipping it means the agent reads one affordance
+twice. See "The orphan copies".
+
+**No dependency change.** `bun.lock` is untouched. **Do not run `bun install`.**
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **Swedish.** `sv-SE`, complete across all three catalogues — six shipped locales now.
+- **Parity checks itself.** The three parity tests listed their locales by hand, so adding a sixth added a
+  file none of them looked at; they read the directory now. They also check both directions — the old check
+  only asked whether every English key was present, so a rename reported half of itself.
+- **A plugin's capabilities are LOADED, not copied.** Affordances, notifications and skills are read from
+  each installed and enabled plugin's own directory. `capabilities/` is meant to be forked and was
+  accumulating files nobody authored. A copy also went stale on update and survived a disable.
+- **Roles phase 3.** `rolePermitsDevTools()` was `role === 'Developer'` gating a Postgres role and a
+  rootless Docker daemon. Two boolean columns carry it now, so a role created at runtime can hold dev tools.
+- **Installing a plugin grants it to every role.** Deny-by-default meant every install needed a second
+  decision on another screen, which mostly got forgotten. The owner revokes instead. Rows, not a rule
+  change — absence still denies.
+- **A commander is a directory, not a session.** Its own `$DATA_PATH/<email>/commanders/<id>/` with a
+  `CLAUDE.md` written at creation. `commander-block.ts` is gone.
+- **Uploads land atomically** — written aside and renamed, so a watcher never sees a half-written file.
+  Same for SendOff.
+- **Whisper priming prompts for 23 more languages.** Inert until an STT server is configured; none is.
+
+## The schema changes
+
+Two tables. **Run this SQL first**, then `bun db:push` to confirm it took.
+
+**Why not `db:push`:** `roles` drops a column while adding two, and `command_hq_sessions` does the same
+shape — drizzle-kit cannot tell a drop-plus-add from a rename, so it asks. With no terminal it bails, the
+wrapper still exits 0, and the `postdb:push` seed then fails against an unchanged schema. Verified on
+`officer-dev` twice. See `src/databases/CLAUDE.md`.
+
+Both blocks are idempotent and safe to run twice.
+
+```sql
+-- ── roles: dev tools become a property of the role ──────────────────────────────────────────────
+DO $$
+DECLARE used int;
+BEGIN
+  SELECT count(*) INTO used FROM roles WHERE provisioning_script IS NOT NULL;
+  IF used > 0 THEN
+    RAISE EXCEPTION 'STOP: % role(s) have a provisioning_script. Do not continue; report this.', used;
+  END IF;
+EXCEPTION WHEN undefined_column THEN
+  NULL;  -- already dropped by a previous run
+END $$;
+
+ALTER TABLE roles ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS grants_postgres boolean NOT NULL DEFAULT false;
+ALTER TABLE roles ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS grants_docker   boolean NOT NULL DEFAULT false;
+ALTER TABLE roles DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS provisioning_script;
+
+-- ── command_hq_sessions: the row owns its identity, the transcript id becomes a pointer ──────────
+-- Every existing commander is DELETED rather than migrated. This is deliberate and the owner's call:
+-- a commander's identity, directory and CLAUDE.md are all new, so migrating means writing a path that
+-- runs once and never again. Re-arm afterwards; it also exercises the flow this release exists to fix.
+DELETE FROM command_hq_sessions;
+
+ALTER TABLE command_hq_sessions ALTER COLUMN session_id DROP NOT NULL;
+ALTER TABLE command_hq_sessions ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS dir_name text NOT NULL DEFAULT '';
+ALTER TABLE command_hq_sessions ALTER COLUMN dir_name DROP DEFAULT;
+ALTER TABLE command_hq_sessions ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS reference_paths text[] NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}';
+```
+
+**Tell the owner what you deleted** before running it, and put it in the report — a commander is somebody's
+standing job, and "we removed yours" is not a footnote. On `officer-dev` it was one, `Platform Deployer`,
+already deleted there.
+
+Then verify **by query**, not by an exit code:
+
+```sql
+SELECT name, is_system, grants_postgres, grants_docker FROM roles ORDER BY name;
+
+SELECT column_name, is_nullable FROM information_schema.columns
+WHERE table_name = 'command_hq_sessions' ORDER BY column_name;
+```
+
+**`Developer` must have both flags true and the other three both false.** If Developer comes back false the
+seed did not run — fix it before restarting, or Developer accounts lose their Postgres role and Docker
+daemon at their next provisioning. `provisioning_script` must be absent.
+
+`command_hq_sessions` must show `dir_name` and `reference_paths`, with `session_id` nullable.
+
+## The orphan copies
+
+**`alpha`, `fofos` and `production-pertento-bridge` each have
+`capabilities/affordances/officerdev/gitea/`** — published by the mechanism this release removes. The gitea
+plugin still ships that affordance in its own directory, and affordances are deliberately NOT
+de-duplicated, so after this release both load and the agent reads the same guidance twice.
+
+```bash
+cd <the capabilities directory beside the checkout>
+git status --porcelain          # expect only ?? extensions/ afterwards
+rm -rf affordances/officerdev
+```
+
+Safe because it is a copy: the source is `plugins/gitea/affordances/`, which is what now gets read.
+`deadpool-rezio-bridge` has none; check anyway.
+
+**`extensions/` stays.** The platform's own bootstrap writes it every boot. This release gitignores it, and
+the ignore arrives with the capabilities pull in step 4.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git fetch origin --tags` then `git merge --ff-only deploy/2026.08.23.06`
+2. **The SQL above**, both blocks, then the two verification queries. Stop on the `RAISE EXCEPTION`.
+3. `bun db:push` — expect **no changes and no prompt**. If it asks anything, the SQL did not take.
+4. `bun run plugins:update` — this pulls the capabilities repository too, which is how the new
+   `.gitignore` arrives.
+5. **The orphan removal**, on the three hosts that have one.
+6. `pm2 restart officer`
+
+`officer` only at step 6. Step 4 restarts each plugin's own sidecar, which belongs in the report.
+
+**`macbookpro`:** append `/opt/homebrew/bin` to PATH for the `bun` commands, run `pm2` separately. It has
+`psql` now and a `.zshenv` that puts it on a non-interactive PATH, so the SQL can be run there directly.
+
+## What to check, this release
+
+**Open a chat and ask the agent what skills it has.** The preamble is built from a new code path —
+`capability-sources.ts` resolving roots per session — and the failure mode is an agent that quietly knows
+less rather than an error. It should name the commander, deploy and platform skills, plus anything a plugin
+ships on that host. On a host with the gitea plugin, its affordance should appear **once**.
+
+**The language picker should offer six.** Switch to Swedish and look at a *panel*, not just the shell.
+
+**Creating a commander should produce a directory.** `$DATA_PATH/<email>/commanders/<n>/` holding
+`CLAUDE.md` and `state/`. The setup pane asks for a *reference path* now, not a working directory.
+
+No direct SQL beyond the block above is needed, and none is authorised.
+
+## Hosts
+
+- **`edge-pertento-bridge`** — skipped. Down, per `docs/servers.md`.
+- **`officer-dev`** — skip it. Both schema changes are already applied and verified by query there, its
+  capabilities repository is clean, and restarting `officer` on the host running the rollout ends the
+  rollout. Name it as skipped and say it is current.

+
+**5 of 5 target hosts succeeded.** Two hosts skipped by design: `officer-dev` (the host running the
+rollout) and `edge-pertento-bridge` (listed under *Deliberately skipped* in `docs/servers.md`).
+
+Every host went `e15ab230` → `2646842c` by `git merge --ff-only deploy/2026.08.23.06`. No host was
+ahead, none had diverged, and no tracked file was dirty anywhere. `--force` was never used and no SQL
+beyond the plan's block was run.
+
+## Per host
+
+### `alpha` — ✅
+
+- HEAD `e15ab230` → `2646842c`, remote SSH, tree clean, no untracked files.
+- **SQL:** both blocks applied. `RAISE EXCEPTION` did not fire — no role held a `provisioning_script`.
+  `DELETE FROM command_hq_sessions` removed **0 rows**; the table was already empty.
+- **Verified by query** on `officer_dev`: `Developer` `grants_postgres=t grants_docker=t`; `Admin`,
+  `Member`, `Super Admin` all `f/f`; `provisioning_script` absent (0 columns); `dir_name` and
+  `reference_paths` present `NOT NULL`, `session_id` nullable.
+- `bun db:push` exit 0, no prompt. Seed reported `0 seeded, 4 already present` — the Developer flags were
+  written by the seed's re-assert path, confirmed by re-querying after the push, not by the message.
+- `bun run plugins:update` — **13/13 in 54s**, exit 0, `capabilities: pulled`. Every plugin's sidecar
+  restarted as part of this step: atelier, bitcoin-wallet, email, gitea, invoices, jellyfin, minesweeper,
+  music, offscale, photos, soulseek, transmission, vault.
+- **Orphan removed:** `capabilities/affordances/officerdev/` existed and was deleted. Capabilities tree
+  clean afterwards — no leftover `?? extensions/`, so the new `.gitignore` had already arrived.
+- `pm2 restart officer` — restart_time 72 → 73. **All 20 processes `online`.**
+
+### `fofos` — ✅
+
+- HEAD `e15ab230` → `2646842c`, remote HTTPS, no tracked changes.
+- **Untracked file left in place:** `scripts/chk.ts`. Noted, not a reason to skip, not touched.
+- **Database is `officer`, not `officer_dev`, and the URL is in `OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL`** rather than
+  `POSTGRES_URL`. Matched the code's own precedence (`OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL ?? POSTGRES_URL`,
+  `officer_db/src/db.ts:9`) so the migration went to the database the server actually opens.
+- **SQL:** both blocks applied, exception did not fire, `DELETE` removed **0 rows**.
+- **Verified by query:** `Developer` `t/t`, other three `f/f`, `provisioning_script` absent, `dir_name`
+  and `reference_paths` `NOT NULL`, `session_id` nullable.
+- `bun db:push` exit 0, no prompt, no plugin schemas on disk.
+- `bun run plugins:update` — **1/1 in 7s**, exit 0, `capabilities: pulled`. `officer-gitea` sidecar
+  restarted by this step.
+- **Orphan removed:** `capabilities/affordances/officerdev/` deleted; tree clean afterwards.
+- `pm2 restart officer` — 25 → 26. **All 8 processes `online`.**
+
+### `macbookpro` — ✅ (awake, with two deviations worth recording)
+
+- HEAD `e15ab230` → `2646842c`, remote SSH, tree clean, no untracked files.
+- **SQL:** both blocks applied. `psql` is at `/opt/homebrew/opt/libpq/bin/psql` and on the
+  non-interactive PATH, as the plan said. `DELETE` removed **0 rows**.
+- **Verified by query:** `Developer` `t/t`, other three `f/f`, `provisioning_script` absent, `dir_name`
+  and `reference_paths` `NOT NULL`, `session_id` nullable.
+- `bun db:push` exit 0, no prompt, run with `/opt/homebrew/bin` **appended** to PATH.
+- `bun run plugins:update` — exit 0, but **`no plugins installed — nothing to update`**, so the step
+  exited before its capabilities pull. See *What I could not do* below.
+- **No orphan to remove.** `~/projects/officer-suite/capabilities` is **not a git checkout** — it holds
+  only empty `agents/ extensions/ processes/ skills/ tasks/ tools/` and has no `affordances/` at all.
+- `pm2 restart officer` (run as its own command, PATH untouched) — 12 → 13. **All 6 processes `online`.**
+
+### `production-pertento-bridge` — ✅
+
+- HEAD `e15ab230` → `2646842c`, remote HTTPS, tree clean, no untracked files.
+- **SQL:** both blocks applied, exception did not fire, `DELETE` removed **0 rows**.
+- **Verified by query** on `officer_dev`: `Developer` `t/t`, other three `f/f`, `provisioning_script`
+  absent, `dir_name` and `reference_paths` `NOT NULL`, `session_id` nullable.
+- `bun db:push` exit 0, no prompt. Its shell prints an nvm/`.npmrc` `globalconfig` warning before every
+  command — cosmetic, pre-existing, unrelated to this release.
+- `bun run plugins:update` — **1/1 in 5s**, exit 0, `capabilities: pulled`. `officer-gitea` restarted.
+- **Orphan removed:** `capabilities/affordances/officerdev/` deleted; tree clean afterwards.
+- `pm2 restart officer` — 4 → 5. **All 15 processes `online`** (nine of them are this host's non-Officer
+  Pertento jobs — Crons, Dashboard, Tracking, Uptime — none of which were touched).
+
+### `deadpool-rezio-bridge` — ✅ (login `br`)
+
+- HEAD `e15ab230` → `2646842c`, remote HTTPS, tree clean, no untracked files.
+- Database is `officer` via `OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL`, same shape as `fofos`.
+- **SQL:** both blocks applied, exception did not fire, `DELETE` removed **0 rows**.
+- **Verified by query:** `Developer` `t/t`, other three `f/f`, `provisioning_script` absent, `dir_name`
+  and `reference_paths` `NOT NULL`, `session_id` nullable.

+- `bun run plugins:update` — **2/2 in 8s**, exit 0, `capabilities: pulled`. The **email plugin advanced
+  `c60e3d6` → `c1c3674`** — the only plugin anywhere in this rollout that was not already current.

+- **No orphan**, as the plan predicted; checked anyway and `affordances/officerdev` does not exist.
+- `pm2 restart officer` — 10 → 11. **All 9 processes `online`.**
+
+## Skipped
+
+- **`officer-dev`** — the host this rollout ran from. Nothing pulled, nothing restarted. Confirmed
+  current rather than assumed: HEAD is `2646842c`, the tag's commit, and a direct query shows `Developer`
+  `t/t` with the other three `f/f`, `provisioning_script` absent, `dir_name`/`reference_paths` present and
+  `session_id` nullable. Its own `officer` process is untouched and still runs the pre-restart build of
+  this commit — **the owner restarts it deliberately, as the last step.**
+- **`edge-pertento-bridge`** — in *Deliberately skipped* since 2026-08-23. Not contacted, no retry budget
+  spent.
+
+## Commanders deleted
+
+**None, on any host.** `command_hq_sessions` held **0 rows everywhere** — every `DELETE` reported
+`DELETE 0`. Each host was counted by query *before* the delete ran, so this is measured rather than
+inferred. Nobody's standing job was removed by this release.
+
+`officer-dev`'s one commander, `Platform Deployer`, had already been deleted there before the rollout
+began, per the plan.
+
+## What I could not do
+
+- **`macbookpro` did not get the capabilities pull.** `bun run plugins:update` exits early with `no
+  plugins installed` and never reaches the capabilities repository, which the plan named as how the new
+  `.gitignore` arrives. It does not matter on that host — its capabilities directory is not a git
+  checkout, so there is no repository for a `.gitignore` to land in and no `affordances/` to be
+  duplicated. I did not invent a `git pull` the plan had not authorised. **Nothing is outstanding on that
+  host; the note is about the step's shape, not a missing change.**
+- **The release's own "what to check" list is unrun.** Asking an agent to name its skills, switching a
+  panel to Swedish, and creating a commander to confirm it produces a directory are interactive checks in
+  a browser. This deploy agent cannot make them, so **no host has been confirmed working by use** — only
+  by schema query and process state.
+- **`officer-dev` needs `pm2 restart officer`** to run the code it already has checked out.
+
+## Two things worth carrying forward
+
+**`fofos` and `deadpool-rezio-bridge` name their database differently from the other three** — the URL
+lives in `OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL` and the database is `officer`, not `officer_dev`. Any future plan step
+that reaches for `POSTGRES_URL` alone will connect to a socket that is not there, which is what it did
+here on the first attempt. The code's precedence is `OFFICERDEV_POSTGRES_URL ?? POSTGRES_URL`; follow it
+rather than either name.
+
+**The seed's own output does not prove the Developer flags were written.** It prints `0 seeded, 4 already
+present` on every host, because it counts inserts and the roles already existed — while the flags are
+re-asserted by a separate update path. On all five hosts the flags read `f/f` immediately after the SQL
+and `t/t` only after `db:push`. Nothing was wrong; the message is simply not the evidence, and the query
+after the push is.

+**No dependency change.** `bun.lock` is untouched. **Do not run `bun install`.**
+
+## What is in it

+- **The transcribe button is hidden.** It calls `POST /file-browser/transcribe`, which refuses on every

+2. `bun db:push` — expect **no changes**. If it wants to alter something, stop and report it: this release
+   touched no schema, so a diff means that host and this tree disagree about something else.

+## What to check, this release

+`bun db:push` printed `Changes applied` on all five hosts. Run again in `--strict --verbose`, it wants the
+same two statements every time:

+ALTER TABLE "music_now_playing" DROP CONSTRAINT "pk_music_now_playing";
+ALTER TABLE "music_now_playing" ADD CONSTRAINT "pk_music_now_playing" PRIMARY KEY("user_id","device");
+```
+
+**The same diff appears on `officer-dev`, this release's own source host, whose database has been running
+this schema for days.** That is the decisive check: the plan's condition is "that host and this tree
+disagree about something else", and no host disagrees with the tree — the tree disagrees with itself,
+identically, everywhere. It is the drizzle-kit mis-diff already documented in `src/databases/CLAUDE.md`
+under "Composite keys", here on a named composite **primary** key rather than a unique constraint, plus a
+spurious array-default diff.
+
+Verified by query per host rather than by exit code, as the doctrine requires:
+
+- `alpha` — `pk_music_now_playing` = `PRIMARY KEY (user_id, device)`; `reference_paths` default
+  `'{}'::text[]`. Both exactly what the schema code says.
+- `fofos`, `production-pertento-bridge`, `deadpool-rezio-bridge`, `macbookpro` — `reference_paths`
+  default `'{}'::text[]`. `music_now_playing` **does not exist** on these four (`information_schema`
+  count 0): the music plugin is not installed there, so there is nothing for that half of the diff to
+  touch. Not a fault.
+
+So no host's schema is wrong. What is wrong is that `db:push` cannot serve as the proof step this plan
+wanted it to be — it reports work on a database that already matches.
+
+**What the owner should know:** on `alpha`, where the table exists, every deploy drops and re-adds a live
+table's primary key for no reason. Harmless so far and verified intact afterwards, but it is real DDL on
+real data, repeated each release. The fix belongs in the schema code, not in a rollout.
+
+## Notes
+
+- `fofos` carries one untracked file, `scripts/chk.ts`. Noted, not a reason to skip — a fast-forward
+  cannot touch it.
+- `bun run plugins:update` restarts each plugin's sidecar itself. On `alpha` that is 13 sidecars bouncing
+  before the `officer` restart the plan asked for. Listed above as the plugin count; "restarted" is
+  therefore more than `officer` alone on every host but `macbookpro`.
+- `officer-dev` is **current in tree** at `c813eef6` but its `officer` process was not restarted, so it is
+  still serving the previous bundle. Restarting it is the owner's deliberate last step.
+
+## Not verified by this deploy
+
+The plan's visual check — open a `.m4a` and confirm the audio player shows no transcribe icon, while an
+image still offers OCR and a video still offers extract-audio. That needs a browser and a hard refresh,
+and no host was checked that way. The code is deployed; that it looks right is unconfirmed.

+The audio player's header should still show download and close, and still no transcribe icon. Images
+should still offer OCR and videos extract audio; those stay in the platform for now.
+
+No direct SQL is needed and none is authorised.

+- **`edge-pertento-bridge`** — skipped, per `docs/servers.md`.
+- **`officer-dev`** — skip it. Restarting `officer` on the host running the rollout ends the rollout. It

+# A commander is a directory, not a session
+
+**Status: phase 1 built 2026-08-24** — schema, directory creation, `CLAUDE.md` at creation, the inverted
+`POST /commanders` → start-turn → point-at-transcript order, `resolveChatCwd` resolving server-side, and the
+frontend composer split (`NewCommanderSetup` → `ActiveNewCommander`) in `src/servers/api/command-hq/` and

+clean, suite green. **`bun db:push` has not been run** — the owner reviews and runs the database work
+separately; see the schema section below for what changed and why nothing here is a migration. Phase 2
+(a commander becomes a git repository) is still not built.
+
+## What is wrong now
+
+A commander's identity is borrowed. `command_hq_sessions.session_id` is Claude's **transcript id**, minted
+by the CLI as the first turn begins — verified: the id on the live row has a transcript file under
+`~/.claude/projects/`. Everything about a commander hangs off that one borrowed value, and three problems
+fall out of it.
+
+**An ordering problem.** `POST /command-hq/commanders` takes a `sessionId` the caller already holds and
+validates the transcript exists, so a chat session is created first and filed as a commander second. But
+the working directory is fixed when the session spawns — before the id exists. There is no point in the
+current flow where a commander can be started *in a directory named after itself*.
+
+**A first-turn interlock that is a side effect.** `commanderBlock` compiles the paths a commander must
+record itself at into every turn, and on the first turn they cannot be resolved, so the block is empty.
+The commander skill turns that into a rule: *"if you have not been given paths, you are on your first
+turn."* It works, and it is a signal derived from a failure rather than something anybody said. That
+block's own comment explains the awkwardness — it rides `effectivePrompt` rather than the session
+preamble, because the preamble is built once and the first turn has no id to build it from.
+
+**Losing the conversation loses the commander.** State lives in the transcript and in a second tree,
+`commander-state/<transcript id>/`. A session that dies takes its commander with it.
+
+## The design
+
+**The directory IS the commander. The session is how you talk to it.**
+
+```
+$DATA_PATH/<email>/commanders/<commander id>/
+  CLAUDE.md          written at creation, extended by the commander as it learns the job
+  spawned            session ids of the agents its loop started
+  <whatever it writes>   scripts, procedures, its record of what it has handled
+```
+
+The id is one the **platform** owns, generated when the commander is created. Nothing waits on the CLI.
+
+The flow becomes linear:
+
+1. The user gives a name and a reference path, and clicks Start.
+2. The platform creates the row and the directory.
+3. It writes `CLAUDE.md` into the directory: the name, the reference path, and the standing guidance
+   `commanderBlock` currently injects.
+4. It spawns the session with `cwd` set to that directory.
+5. The transcript id arrives later and is recorded **on the row**, as a pointer to the current
+   conversation.
+
+**The API does not change.** Same endpoints, same shape from the client's side. What changes is the server
+being able to do things in an order that works.
+
+## What this buys
+
+**`CLAUDE.md` needs no mechanism.** Claude Code reads one from the working directory at session start. So
+the living document is free: the commander edits its own file, and the next turn has it. No injection, no
+per-turn cost, no block riding `effectivePrompt`.
+
+**A commander survives its conversation.** Everything it knows is on disk. A session that dies can be
+replaced by a fresh one in the same directory, and the commander carries on with its scripts, its
+procedures and its record of what it has already handled. Today that is a total loss.
+
+**One directory instead of two.** `commander-state/<id>/` collapses in. Deleting a commander becomes
+deleting a directory, which is also the only way to be sure nothing is left behind.
+
+**The first turn can be stated rather than inferred.** With the file written before the session exists,
+the platform can simply say which turn it is on. The interlock stops being a trick.
+
+## The reference path
+
+**What was the working directory becomes a reference** — what the commander operates ON, not where it
+lives. One is collected in the start dialog, because a person can name one thing and asking for a list up
+front gets a worse answer than asking later.
+
+**More can be added in conversation.** A voice-memos commander watches one folder; a life manager might
+watch memos, scans and a mailbox. So this is a list on the row, seeded with one, and the commander writes
+additions into its own `CLAUDE.md` as they are agreed.
+
+## The two tiers, and why a commander should get cheaper
+
+This is the point of the whole design, and it generalises past any particular commander.
+
+**The script gathers. The agent judges.**
+
+A commander has two kinds of work and they have opposite economics. A script runs per event — every email,
+every voice memo — and costs nothing, so there is no ceiling on volume. An agent runs per batch, on
+material a script already assembled, and costs a turn every time it wakes. So the rule for building any
+commander is: push as much as possible down into the script, and let the agent see only what actually
+needs judgement.
+
+Detecting a one-time code in an email is a script. Reading fifty messages and deciding which of them the
+owner would want to know about is an agent. A watcher that transcribes a recording is a script; deciding
+what a week of transcripts means is an agent.
+
+**And the tiers are not fixed, which is the part that matters.**
+
+Because the commander owns its own scripts — they are files in its directory, and it can edit them — every
+correction moves work downward. The owner says "this one was missed, it had eight digits rather than six",
+and a decision that required judgement becomes a rule that does not. The agent tier gets thinner; the free
+tier gets better.
+
+**A commander that runs for six months should cost less per event than it did in week one, not more.**
+
+That is the opposite of how automation usually ages, and it is a direct consequence of two decisions made
+here rather than a hope: the agent owns its scripts, and the corrections arrive through dialogue rather
+than through a ticket to somebody else. Nothing improves a system it cannot edit.
+
+Two things this requires, and both are cheap if done from the start:
+
+- **The script's verdict must be reproducible.** Not logged — RE-RUN. The input is still in the mailbox or
+  the folder, and the script is deterministic, so diagnosing a miss is running it again and watching. A
+  log would be a second copy of something already on disk.
+- **A change is checked against what came before.** The corpus already exists — the last few hundred
+  messages, the transcripts so far. Re-run the old script and the new one over it and compare; anything
+  whose verdict changed is either the bug just fixed or one just introduced. Without that, the fix for
+  eight-digit codes quietly starts flagging every order confirmation, unattended, at three in the morning.
+
+`capabilities/skills/commander/SKILL.md` should teach this. Somebody building the fourth commander needs
+the rule more than they need the worked example.
+
+## What the directory holds: definition versus state
+
+Two kinds of thing live in there and they must not mix, because one of them travels and the other must
+never.
+
+```
+$DATA_PATH/<email>/commanders/<commander id>/
+  CLAUDE.md          DEFINITION — the living document, extended as the job is agreed
+  parameters.*       DEFINITION — the things a fork has to change. Paths, cadences, thresholds
+  procedures/        DEFINITION — what a spawned agent reads at fire time
+  scripts/           DEFINITION — the loops
+  state/             INSTANCE — what it has handled, what it spawned, its loop's pid
+```
+
+**Separate from the first commit, not sorted out later.** A shareable bundle is "everything except
+`state/`" only if that boundary is structural; mixed together, extracting one means picking files apart by
+hand and getting it wrong once. Same reasoning as plugin capabilities being read in place rather than
+copied — a directory boundary beats a convention, because a convention is what a tired person violates.
+
+The failure it prevents is specific: a recipient's commander starting up believing it has already handled
+your recordings, and silently doing nothing.
+
+**Parameters are separate from procedure, or forking means editing code.** With `~/Documents/VoiceMemos`
+baked into a script, a fork is a debugging session. Declared in one place, a fork is a conversation — the
+new owner is asked where their memos land and the commander rewrites its own file. That difference is the
+whole point of the thing being an agent rather than a template.
+
+## Phase 2 — a commander becomes a git repository
+
+**Not now.** Recorded because the phase 1 layout has to leave room for it, and it costs nothing today to
+leave that room.
+
+**There is no button.** The owner asks the commander, in conversation, to make itself shareable, and it
+does — `git init`, a `.gitignore` that excludes `state/`, a first commit. That is the same shape as
+everything else here: the commander maintains its own directory, and the platform does not reach in.
+
+**What it needs to know goes in the commander SKILL, not an affordance.** The layout, what is tracked,
+what is ignored and how credentials are handled is reference material — read on the one day somebody asks
+for it. An affordance's body is charged to every turn of every commander forever, and this would earn that
+cost approximately never. `capabilities/skills/commander/SKILL.md` gains a section.
+
+**A commander never holds a service's connection details, and that is a boundary rather than a
+precaution.** The Whisper URL is not the commander's business: it knows the platform can transcribe and
+asks the platform, which holds the connection. So there is usually nothing sensitive in a commander to
+leak, and the sharing story is simple for a reason rather than by luck.
+
+Where a commander genuinely does need a secret of its own, the same rule applies for the obvious reason: a
+credential is definition-shaped — it looks like configuration — so excluding `state/` does not protect it,
+and a shared repository is exactly the artefact where one gets published and stays published. Name what
+must be configured; let the platform hold the value.
+
+**Whether the platform is actually configured is not this system's problem.** A commander depending on
+transcription can be armed on a server where nobody set up a Whisper endpoint, and it would produce
+nothing. That is a system administration mistake, and the answer is already in the commander skill rather
+than in new machinery: **do the first run by hand, then arm.** A first run against something unconfigured
+fails in front of the person doing it. The same rule catches the shared case — somebody forking this onto
+their own machine finds out on their first run instead of at 3am.
+
+The forking story then reads: clone, open a conversation, answer where your memos land and what you want
+done with them, and the commander rewrites its own parameters and arms.
+
+## The consequence for the skill
+
+`capabilities/skills/commander/SKILL.md` says turn one is orientation — *"read where you actually are
+before you ask anything"* — and that assumes `cwd` is the thing worth exploring. Under this design the
+commander's own directory is nearly empty on turn one and the interesting thing is somewhere else.
+
+That guidance has to change with the code, or every new commander will orient on an empty folder and ask
+a worse question than it does today.
+
+## The schema change, and why there is no migration
+
+`session_id` stops being the commander's identity and becomes a nullable pointer to its current
+conversation. The row gains its own id, its directory, and its reference paths.
+
+**Nothing is migrated.** The one commander on this machine is deleted and re-armed from scratch on the new
+system — the owner's call, made on 2026-08-24, and the right one: it is unarmed and has never fired, so
+migrating it would mean writing and testing a path that runs exactly once and then never again. Re-arming
+also exercises the flow this design exists to fix, which a migration would route around.
+
+That decision has a shelf life. It is free while one commander exists and unarmed; it stops being free the
+moment somebody is relying on one. Build this before that happens, or write the migration.
+
+## What this does not decide
+
+**Whether a commander's loops are scripted or agentic.** Both, in practice — a watcher that transcribes
+does not need judgement and should not spend a turn per file, while a job that reads transcripts and
+decides what to do with each of them is agentic by nature. The directory holds the procedure either way.
+
+**How a commander learns what the platform can do.** It reads the generated platform skill and, for a
+plugin, that plugin's own skill. That is a separate gap: a plugin must ship a skill documenting its routes
+or a commander can see it is installed and still not know how to call it.

+# 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.

+# Filesystem quotas — the prerequisite for per-user and per-team storage limits
+
+**Status: planned, not done. Nothing in the platform reads or writes a quota yet.**
+
+This is the host-side half. It makes limits *enforceable*; it does not create any. The platform side —
+the owner declaring defaults and maxima, and provisioning applying them — is `docs/roles-and-teams.md`
+→ "Quotas", and it is not built either. Do this first, because a policy nothing enforces is worse than
+no policy: it reads as a limit and is not one.
+
+## Why the kernel and not the platform
+
+Members hold `terminal` at `write` and have their own Linux accounts. A quota the platform tracks by
+counting bytes through the file browser is decorative — a member opens a terminal, or connects over SSH
+with their own key, and writes past it without the platform seeing the write.
+
+Only the filesystem can refuse. So this is a provisioning feature, not an accounting one.
+
+## Where it matters
+
+**`edge-pertento`.** It is the first real multi-user deployment and the only host that will hold accounts
+that are not the owner's. It already has one account, which is the argument for doing this soon rather
+than carefully later: moving a home directory is easy once and tedious per person.
+
+`officer-dev` is a development machine and will not be multi-user. `alpha` is the owner's own. Neither
+needs this, and neither can do it without the same downtime, so there is no reason to.

+findmnt -no FSTYPE,SOURCE,TARGET /                 # expect ext4, and note the real device
+findmnt -no OPTIONS / | tr ',' '\n' | grep -i quota  # expect nothing — that is why we are here
+sudo tune2fs -l "$(findmnt -no SOURCE /)" | grep -iE 'features|Inode size'
+lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT
+df -h /home
+```
+
+Three things decide the plan:
+
+1. **Is `/home` its own filesystem, or part of `/`?** On a stock Hetzner image it is part of `/`, so the
+   root filesystem is what gains the feature.
+2. **Inode size.** Only matters if you use project quotas — they need 256 bytes and cannot be enabled on a
+   128-byte filesystem without recreating it. The plan below avoids project quotas for exactly this reason.
+3. **Is the device under LVM?** `alpha` is; `officer-dev` is not. It changes only the device path.
+
+## The plan: user quotas and group quotas, not project quotas
+
+Two mount options cover both cases and neither needs a feature the filesystem might lack:
+
+- **`usrquota`** — a limit per Linux user. This is the per-account home directory limit.
+- **`grpquota`** — a limit per Linux group. **This is how a team's shared folder gets a limit**, because a
+  team is already a Linux group (see `docs/roles-and-teams.md` — the group is what keeps one team out of
+  another's folder, not the permission grant).
+
+Project quotas (`prjquota`) would let a *directory* carry a limit independent of ownership. That is more
+flexible and it is not needed: every case here is "this user" or "this team", both of which are already
+identities the kernel knows. Skipping it also skips the inode-size problem entirely.
+
+**For the group quota to work, the team folder must be `setgid`** (`chmod g+s`), so files created inside it
+inherit the team's group and are charged to it. Without that, a member's files are charged to the member's
+own primary group and the team limit counts nothing. This is the single easiest thing to get wrong here.
+
+## Procedure
+
+Downtime is roughly ten minutes, most of it reboots. The owner has said downtime is acceptable.
+
+**1. Install the tools, on the live machine.**
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y quota
+```
+
+**2. Take note of the root device**, from the pre-flight above — `/dev/sda1` on a stock image,
+`/dev/mapper/<vg>-<lv>` under LVM. Every command below uses it.
+
+**3. Boot into Hetzner rescue** from the Cloud console, and do not mount the filesystem.
+
+**4. Check it, then add the feature.** `tune2fs` refuses on a filesystem that is not clean, and the check
+is worth running anyway before changing metadata:
+
+```bash
+e2fsck -f /dev/sda1
+tune2fs -O quota /dev/sda1
+tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep -i features    # 'quota' must now appear
+```
+
+`quota` here is the ext4 *journaled quota* feature. It is what lets quotas come up with the filesystem
+rather than needing a `quotacheck` scan at every boot, which on 320 GB is not quick.
+
+**5. Add the mount options.** Back on the normal system — or by mounting the root filesystem from rescue
+and editing it there — the `/` line in `/etc/fstab` gains `usrquota,grpquota`:
+
+```
+UUID=<unchanged>  /  ext4  defaults,usrquota,grpquota  0  1
+```
+
+**6. Reboot into the normal system and confirm.**
+
+```bash
+findmnt -no OPTIONS / | tr ',' '\n' | grep quota   # usrquota, grpquota
+sudo quotaon -p /                                   # both should report "is on"
+sudo repquota -s /                                  # a table, not an error
+```
+
+## Verify it actually refuses
+
+Enabling quotas and setting none is the failure that looks like success. Prove enforcement once, on a
+throwaway account, before trusting it:
+
+```bash
+sudo useradd -m quotaprobe
+sudo setquota -u quotaprobe 10240 10240 0 0 /        # 10 MB soft and hard
+sudo -u quotaprobe dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/quotaprobe/fill bs=1M count=50
+# expect: "Disk quota exceeded" and a file of about 10 MB, NOT 50
+sudo userdel -r quotaprobe
+```
+
+If that writes 50 MB, quotas are not on, whatever the mount options say.
+
+## What this does not do
+
+- **It sets no limits.** Every existing account is unlimited until something assigns a quota. That is the
+  correct intermediate state: the machine gains the ability, nobody's behaviour changes.
+- **It does not touch the platform.** `provision-os.ts` does not call `setquota` yet, and there is nowhere
+  for the owner to declare a default. That is the other half.
+- **It does not apply to the team folders**, because there are no team folders yet. When they arrive they
+  must be `setgid` or their group quota counts nothing.
+
+## When the platform half is built
+
+`POST /users/:id/provision-linux` already exists as a retry path and is the natural home for this: it
+becomes "re-apply current policy to this account", covering both a new account and a changed limit.
+
+**On a host where quotas are not enabled, the platform must say so** — "policy recorded, not enforceable on
+this host" — rather than storing numbers that do nothing. Same rule as the plugin dependency check: refuse
+or report, never silently no-op. `quotaon -p` is the check, and it is cheap enough to run per request.

+# 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
+
+**Updated 2026-08-23, after phases 0, 1 and 2.** This section described the pre-phase-0 world for long
+enough that the next reader would have started from a false picture — bare `en.json`, 46 keys, three
+components. All of that is now history and is kept below only as the "before" column, because the shape of
+the gap is the argument for the plan and deleting it would leave the phases looking arbitrary.
+
+|                            | before phase 0         | now                                           |
+| -------------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| catalogs                   | `en.json`, `pt.json`   | `en-GB.json`, `pt-PT.json` per workspace      |
+| keys                       | 46                     | **581** — 538 `app.*`, 43 `ui.*`              |
+| workspaces with a catalog  | 1 (`officer-web`)      | 3 (`officer-web`, `components`, `officerdev`) |
+| components using it        | 3                      | all of `officer-web` and `components`         |
+| plural rules               | none                   | `Intl.PluralRules`, per locale                |
+| dates and numbers          | browser locale         | `useFormat()`, the account's locale           |
+| a missing key              | rendered its dot-path  | falls back to English, warns in dev           |
+| locales offered vs shipped | ~20 offered, 2 existed | only shipped locales are offered              |
+| parity enforcement         | none                   | **a gap fails the build**                     |
+
+Still standing from the original description, and still true: the package is hand-rolled, has no npm
+dependency, and gives type-safe keys — a wrong key is a typecheck failure, which is worth more than it
+sounds when one agent is editing hundreds of files.
+
+**What remains:** `src/workspaces/officerdev` — the panels — and then translation. `panel.*` is scaffolded,
+wired into the bridge, and empty.
+
+Two things learned doing phases 1 and 2 that the plan did not anticipate:
+
+- **`TranslationKeys` walked into a plural object**, so `t('key', { count })` — the entire point of D7 —
+  did not compile while `t('key.one')` did. The documented feature was uncompilable and the workaround was
+  not, which no test would ever have noticed because phase 1 contained no plurals. Fixed with type-level
+  assertions.
+- **The typed wrappers rebuilt `t` on every render**, which is the trap `CLAUDE.md` already records against
+  `useClient()` and the Jellyfin player. It matters the moment `t` lands in a `useMemo` dependency list,
+  which phase 2 needed immediately. Memoised.
+
+**A shape this format cannot express:** a sentence with an inline link. Splitting around the anchor gives a
+key whose Portuguese value is `"."`. The cheap fix is rephrasing so the link falls at a clause boundary;
+there is no node-level interpolation helper and adding one is a design decision, not a patch. Worth
+raising if a phase turns out to be full of them rather than absorbing it forty times.
+
+### 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, and every catalog is complete
+
+`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.
+
+**Every locale ships a COMPLETE catalog. There is no regional inheritance and no overlay.** A file holds
+every key the UI has, translated for that locale, or it does not ship.
+
+This reverses an earlier version of this decision, which had `pt-BR` inherit from `pt` so a base catalog
+carried the shared bulk and a regional file carried only the differences. That is the conventional design
+and it was rejected for a product reason that outranks the engineering one:
+
+**A missing European Portuguese key would have fallen through to Brazilian.** European and Brazilian
+Portuguese differ most in exactly the vocabulary this UI is full of — technical terms — and the platform is
+being sold into the European Portuguese market first. So the failure mode of an overlay is a Portuguese
+reader getting Brazilian phrasing on whichever strings nobody remembered to override, silently, and with no
+signal that it happened. Owner's call, and it is the right one: a reader must never be served a neighbouring
+variant's words.
+
+The engineering objection to full catalogs was drift — two near-identical files diverging within a month.
+That is answered by making the **key-parity test load-bearing** rather than advisory (see Tooling): a locale
+missing a key that `en` has fails the build, so an incomplete catalog cannot ship. Completeness is enforced
+by the test rather than by a fallback quietly papering over a gap.
+
+It is also less code. `resolveKey` looks in the active locale and then, only if the key is genuinely absent,
+in `en` — which per D8 is a bug the parity test should already have caught. There is no chain to walk, no
+base-versus-overlay merge order, and no question about which file a given string lives in.
+
+`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.
+
+**Consequence for translation work:** a new locale is a whole catalog, not a diff. Machine-translate the
+full file and have it reviewed, rather than hand-writing overrides against a base. For `pt-PT` and `pt-BR`
+that means two complete passes, reviewed separately, because the whole point is that neither borrows from
+the other.
+
+### 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.
+- **Not everything a panel renders is content, and "panel plus file names" is the wrong test.** The
+  guidance during phase 3 was to expect roughly half of FileBrowser's hits to be content and stay English.
+  `useFileBrowserApp.ts`, the largest file in the phase at 47 hits, turned out **100% convertible**.
+
+  The reason is worth keeping. A panel that LISTS things renders content — a file name in a row is the
+  user's, and translating it would be absurd. A panel REPORTING about those things owns the sentence:
+  `Renamed to "{{name}}"` is ours, and the file name sits inside it as a parameter, which is exactly where
+  content belongs. So the test is not "does this panel touch file names" but "is the string a frame around
+  content, or the content itself".
+
+  It also matters for plurals. Six hand-rolled ones in that file became real entries because Portuguese
+  reorders them — `1 item eliminado` against `Deleted 1 item` — which a frame with a count spliced into it
+  cannot express at all.
+
+- **A label quoted from ANOTHER product's interface.** "Click **Enable**", "set **App name**", "choose
+  **Internal**" in a setup guide. These read like prose and are identifiers: their whole job is to match
+  what the reader will actually see on Google's screen, and Google localises by the reader's _Google_
+  account language, not by ours. Translating them sends somebody hunting for "Ativar" in a console that
+  says "Enable".
+
+  So translate the connective prose around them and leave the quoted label in English. Do not key it with
+  identical values in both catalogs either — that is a key whose two sides can never legitimately differ,
+  which is a maintenance cost bought for nothing.
+
+  Decided 2026-08-23 on `GoogleOAuthConfig.tsx`, where 55 of the file's 67 strings are of this kind.
+
+- **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 — and per D2 this is now load-bearing, not a nicety.** For each shipped locale, every
+key that `en` has must be present IN THAT LOCALE'S OWN FILE. Fails the build on a gap, the same way
+`bun docs:check` fails on a stale number.
+
+With full catalogs and no overlays, this test is the only thing standing between "complete translation" and
+"silently English in patches". It replaces the fallback that used to hide a gap, so it has to be as
+unavoidable as the typecheck: a missing key is not a warning, it is a red build.
+
+**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.
+
+   **One constraint that contract has to answer, found while converting the shared components
+   (2026-08-23):** those components now call `useTranslation`, so they resolve against whatever
+   `I18nProvider` is above them — and with none above them they render their own dot-paths. Today that
+   is safe by accident: there are exactly two React roots, and the one that is not `officer-web`
+   (`apps/marketplace`) imports nothing from `components/`. A plugin frontend mounting its own root, or
+   rendering a shared component outside `I18nBridge`, would put `ui.button.cancel` in front of a person.
+
+   So the contract needs to say where a plugin's provider comes from — inherit the host's, or mount its
+   own seeded with the host's catalogs — rather than leaving each plugin to remember. Note that a
+   provider-absent fallback inside the `components` package was considered and rejected: it would have
+   split resolution across two mechanisms and contradicted D6, which puts the merge at the bridge.
+
+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.

+# A plugin's capabilities are LOADED, never copied
+
+**Status: designed, not built.** What exists today is the copying this replaces.
+
+## The problem, as it is on disk right now
+
+`capabilities/` is a git repository. The intent is that anyone can fork it, keep their own tasks, skills
+and affordances in it, and pull core's on top. That only works if the directory contains exactly two
+things: what core ships, and what the owner wrote.
+
+It does not. Four publishers copy a plugin's files into it at install time — assets, affordances,
+notification catalogues and skills — so a fork accumulates files it did not author. On this machine today
+`skills/email-db/` and `extensions/` sit untracked in that repository, published there by plugins. Commit
+them and the fork carries another plugin's work; leave them and `git status` is permanently noisy. There
+is no third answer, because nothing on disk says which files came from where.
+
+Copying is also wrong in a second way that has nothing to do with git. **A copy goes stale.**
+`plugins:update` pulls new plugin code and the copied capabilities keep describing the old version until
+something republishes them. And a copy survives `plugins:disable`, so a disabled plugin's skill stays in
+the agent's index — the plugin is off and the agent still believes it is there.
+
+## The design
+
+**A plugin keeps its capabilities in its own directory, and the platform reads them where they are.**
+
+```
+capabilities/                      the owner's fork: core's, plus their own. Nothing else, ever.
+  tasks/  skills/  affordances/  notifications/
+
+plugins/<name>/                    the plugin's own repository, cloned on install
+  tasks/  skills/  affordances/  notifications/
+```
+
+Nothing is copied. Nothing needs a namespace to keep the two apart, because they are already apart —
+which is the whole reason this beats scoping the paths. A namespace makes provenance *readable*; separate
+directories make it *structural*.
+
+Four consequences, and each of them is a bug that stops existing:
+
+- **A fork stays clean.** `capabilities/` contains only what its owner is responsible for, so pulling from
+  upstream merges without touching anything a plugin put there.
+- **Capabilities update with the plugin.** `plugins:update` is a `git pull` in the plugin's directory, and
+  the capabilities are in that directory. There is nothing left to go stale.
+- **Disable actually disables.** The load list is built from plugins that are installed AND enabled, so a
+  disabled plugin contributes nothing. Today its copies remain.
+- **Uninstall needs no cleanup step.** The directory goes and its capabilities go with it. No list of
+  filenames to be careful with, and no way to delete the owner's own work by getting that list wrong.
+
+## What has to change
+
+**The loaders take a list of roots.** `loadSkills(root)` and `loadAffordances(root)` already take one with
+a default, so this is a small change rather than a rewrite. Notifications the same.
+
+**The list is resolved per session, not at module load.** `affordanceBlock()` and `skillsBlock()` are
+called once per session in `sidecar/claude/claude-manager.ts` — deliberately, so a capability written an
+hour ago is offered on the next session. That is also why they can afford to ask the database which
+plugins are installed: once per session, not once per turn.
+
+**Tasks are the awkward one, because that store is read-write.** `api/tasks/task-files.ts` creates, edits
+and deletes as well as reads. Reading must span every source; writing must only ever touch the owner's
+directory. A plugin's task is read-only by nature and the UI has to know, or it will offer an Edit that
+silently writes into a directory the next `plugins:update` overwrites.
+
+A task's directory name is also stored data — `taskDirName` in `pipeline_jobs` — so lookup by name has to
+search every source rather than assuming one root.
+
+**The four publishers are deleted**, along with their install and uninstall wiring:
+`affordances/publish.ts`, `notifications/publish.ts`, `skills/publish.ts`, `api/tasks/publish.ts`. The
+last was written on 2026-08-23 and is superseded before it ever shipped.
+
+`app-store/assets` is a different case and stays. Those are images served over HTTP from a
+platform-managed path, not capabilities read from disk, and the copy is what makes them reachable.
+
+## The migration
+
+One-off, and it is deletion rather than movement. The copies already in `capabilities/` have nothing to
+remove them once the publishers are gone — `skills/email-db/` and `extensions/` on this machine, and
+whatever the equivalent is per host. They are copies of files that still exist in each plugin's own
+directory, so deleting them loses nothing.
+
+Check each host rather than assuming this one is representative.
+
+## What this does not decide
+
+**Where the owner's own capabilities live inside their fork.** Flat at the top of each type directory is
+what happens today and needs no change. Scoping them is a separate question and this design does not
+force it either way.
+
+**Whether a plugin's capabilities should be namespaced among themselves.** Two plugins can still ship a
+task with the same directory name, and the loader has to break that tie — first-come, as the items store
+has always done, or by qualifying with the plugin name at read time. Worth settling when a second plugin
+ships a task; not before.

+# 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.

+union, one owner identified by holding one of them, and grants keyed on a role string. That is correct for
+a homelab and it cannot express a company, where the same person is an administrator of one area and an
+ordinary member of another.
+
+Two things are wanted, and they are separable:
+
+- **Roles as data**, so a role can be added without a deploy, and so each can eventually carry its own
+  provisioning.
+- **Teams**, so a user belongs to several and holds a different role in each.
+
+**Teams are optional and must stay optional.** A homelab with family and friends on it may never make one;
+its owner's answer is "team family, team friends" or no teams at all, and either has to work. A company
+uses both. Nothing below may make teams mandatory to reach a feature.
+
+---
+
+## What already landed — phase 0, 2026-08-23
+
+The `roles` table exists, seeded with `Super Admin`, `Admin`, `Developer`, `Member`, each flagged
+`isSystem` because the platform's own code names it. `provisioningScript` is declared and null.
+
+**Nothing reads it yet.** `USER_ROLES` is still the type, `users.role` is still plain text with no foreign
+key, and `authorize.ts` is untouched. That was deliberate: the change is additive, so it cannot fail on
+existing data, which is what made it safe to hand to an unattended rollout across five hosts.
+
+**No foreign key, and this is the reason.** `db:push` creates a table and adds a constraint in the same
+run, so a foreign key from `users.role` onto an empty `roles` is violated by every existing account.
+Verified against a scratch database: push reported the violation, created the table, skipped the
+constraint, **and exited 0**. See `prompts/deploy-commander.md` → "Schema changes".
+
+---
+
+## Decisions
+
+### D1. The owner is an identity. It is never a role.
+
+`OWNER_USER_ID` — user 1, the account whose home is the home of the OS user the platform runs as.
+
+Before phase 0, `isSuperAdmin()` answered `user.role === 'Super Admin'`. That was correct while roles were
+a hardcoded union and nothing could write a new one. **The moment roles are editable data it becomes a
+privilege-escalation path**: "add a role" and "become the owner" are the same feature, reachable from
+whatever UI manages roles.
+
+So ownership moves to `user.id === OWNER_USER_ID`, and `getOwnerUser()` becomes a primary-key lookup rather
+than "the lowest id holding Super Admin". **This is the load-bearing change in phase 1** and everything
+else can wait behind it.
+
+### D2. Several Super Admins are allowed, and the role provisions sudo
+
+Today `create-user.ts` and `updateUserRoleHandler` refuse to create a second Super Admin. That limit goes:
+a company has an owner and several administrators, and a homelab owner may add one or never do.
+
+**Holding `Super Admin` provisions an OS account with sudo.** Which means, plainly: that person is outside
+Officer's permission system. `role_permissions`, the `confined` kernel containment and the
+"`execution` is never grantable" rule bound nobody who can `sudo cat` any home on the box. And the grant is
+irreversible in practice — revoking the role does not revoke an SSH key, a cron entry or a setuid binary
+they left behind.
+
+That is the operator's decision to make, not the platform's to prevent. What the platform owes them is for
+the UI to say what it is rather than presenting it as one more row in a dropdown.
+
+### D3. `Admin` is app-wide authority with no operating-system privilege
+
+The role most companies actually staff: creates accounts, manages grants, sees every dashboard, and cannot
+read the CEO's files. It already exists and `rolePermitsDevTools()` already excludes it deliberately —
+"administering the platform is not developing on it". This decision only writes that down.
+
+### D4. A role may be deleted, but not while anyone holds it
+
+Refuse the delete; never reassign. Silently moving accounts to a fallback role is a permission change
+nobody asked for, and "absence denies" is the posture everywhere else in this system.
+
+`isSystem` roles refuse both delete and rename, because the code names them by name:
+`rolePermitsDevTools()` tests for `Developer`, `bootstrap.ts` writes `Super Admin`, `users.role` defaults to
+`Member`. Renaming one is a code change that has not happened yet.
+
+### D5. Grants stay keyed on the role NAME, with `ON UPDATE CASCADE`
+
+`role_permissions.role` and `users.role` both hold a name. Re-keying them onto a serial id would touch
+`authorize.ts` — the file standing between a Member and a shell — to buy what Postgres gives for free: a
+rename cascades to every user and every grant, atomically, with no code change.
+
+The cost is that a rename is a data migration rather than a label edit, which is honest — a role name
+appears in `rolePermitsDevTools`, in report text, and in whatever a plugin has written down.
+
+### D6. A team is a scope. Permissions UNION across a user's teams.
+
+Admin in marketing and member in developers means marketing's admin level does not reach developers'
+files — but a user's effective permission for a given capability is the **highest level any of their teams
+grants**, plus their global role.
+
+Union is the only coherent resolution, and it has a consequence worth stating: **adding somebody to a team
+can only ever grant, never restrict.** A team cannot be used to limit someone. If restriction is ever
+wanted, that is a different and much harder system (deny rules, precedence, conflict resolution) and it
+should be refused rather than half-built.
+
+### D7. The global role remains, and answers a different question
+
+Two questions, two mechanisms:
+
+- **"May this account administer the server at all?"** — the global role. Super Admin, Admin.
+- **"What may this account do in this area?"** — team membership with a role in that team.
+
+This is the shape GitHub, Slack and Workspace all converged on, and the reason is that the first question
+has no natural team to ask it about. A homelab uses only the first and never makes a team.
+
+### D8. Per-role provisioning is a script the role carries
+
+`provisioningScript` on the role row. Run when an account is granted that role; the reference implementation
+is `Developer`, which today gets a Postgres role of its own through `rolePermitsDevTools()` — a special case
+in code that should become a row.
+
+The historical note matters for whoever builds it: that gate was originally for **rootless** Docker, and
+rootless specifically. `usermod -aG docker` is root by a longer route —
+`docker run -v /:/host -it alpine chroot /host` reads `.env`, every member's home and the wallet seed. Any
+provisioning script that adds a user to a privileged group is granting more than its role name suggests.
+
+---
+
+## Phases
+
+### Phase 0 — roles are a table ✅ DONE 2026-08-23
+
+Additive only. Nothing reads it.
+
+### Phase 1 — the owner stops being a role ✅ DONE 2026-08-23
+
+The load-bearing phase, and small.
+
+1. `isOwner(user)` = `user.id === OWNER_USER_ID`. `getOwnerUser()` = lookup by that id.
+2. Split the two meanings of today's `isSuperAdmin()`: ownership, and holding the role. **Every existing
+   call site keeps meaning OWNER**, so no route changes who it admits. Widening any "owner-only" route to
+   "owner or Super Admin" is a separate, reviewable change per route.
+3. Drop the second-Super-Admin refusals in `create-user.ts` and `updateUserRoleHandler`.
+4. ~~Remove the `users` CHECK that pins user 1 to `Super Admin`~~ — **KEPT, overruling this plan.** It is
+   redundant for the question it was written for: `isOwner` is an id comparison and never reads that column.
+   But it still forbids user 1 being set to `Member` while remaining the owner, which is a state with no
+   benefit and a confusing display. A constraint that costs nothing and forbids a nonsense state is worth
+   keeping after its original reason has gone.
+
+**One asymmetry introduced deliberately.** An existing account can now be promoted to `Super Admin`;
+creating one directly as `Super Admin` is still refused by `create-user.ts`. Promotion happens to an account
+somebody has looked at, from a screen showing who they are. Creation is a form filled in once, and the role
+that provisions sudo should not be a dropdown default reached by accident. Create, then promote.
+
+Reviewable on its own, and nothing downstream can start until ownership is an identity.
+
+### Phase 2 — the foreign key, and role CRUD
+
+1. **Two releases, not one.** The rows are on every host after phase 0; the constraint ships separately,
+   and its release plan carries the SQL explicitly per `prompts/deploy-commander.md`.
+2. `users.role` and `role_permissions.role` become foreign keys with `ON UPDATE CASCADE` (D5).
+3. Role CRUD: list with holder counts, create, rename, delete guarded by D4.
+4. `USER_ROLES` stops being the source of truth. `UserRole` becomes `string`, and the picker reads the
+   table. **This is where the typed-union safety is lost** — worth a runtime validator at the write path to
+   replace what the compiler was doing.
+
+### Phase 3 — per-role provisioning
+
+`provisioningScript` gets a runner, and `rolePermitsDevTools()` becomes a row rather than a branch. Needs
+D8's warning in front of whoever writes the first script.
+
+### Phase 4 — teams
+
+1. `teams`, and `team_members(team_id, user_id, role)` — the role scoped to the team.
+2. `team_permissions(team_id, role, permission, level)`, or a discriminator on `role_permissions`. Decide by
+   asking whether a team's roles are the same set as the global ones; probably yes, and probably that means
+   one table with a nullable `team_id`.
+3. `authorize.ts` resolves the union (D6): global role grants, plus the highest level any team grants.
+   **This is the one change in the whole plan that alters the resolver**, so it wants tests before it wants
+   code — `permissions/authorize.test.ts` is already pure and mockless, which is what makes that possible.
+4. Teams UI, and the account screen showing which teams a user is in and as what.
+
+### Phase 5 — account creation — **DONE, and it was done before this phase was written**
+
+`POST /api/users` is owner-gated and live, with a form under Settings → User Management: same password
+validator as bootstrap, a role checked against the `roles` table, `Super Admin` refused outright, an
+optional inbound SSH key, and Linux provisioning with `POST /users/:id/provision-linux` to retry it.
+Alongside it: role change, password reset, delete.
+
+It shipped in `69a31051`. This section spent days telling readers it did not exist and sequencing work
+around building it — and on 2026-08-23 it produced a concrete cost, when a recommendation to "do phase 5
+first" was made from this text and withdrawn only because someone opened `api/users/` to write the spec.
+
+The general lesson, since it is the second time this exact shape has bitten: `bun run docs:check` compares
+numbers, so counts stay honest while prose rots quietly. **A phase marked as not built is worth verifying
+against the tree before it is planned around**, not because the plan was careless but because a plan is
+written once and the code moves every day.
+
+---
+
+## What must not be built
+
+- **Deny rules.** See D6. Teams grant; they never restrict.
+- **A role that confers ownership.** See D1. There is exactly one owner and no role reaches it.
+- **Team-scoped `execution` capabilities.** Tasks, items, desktop and browser run as the owner's OS user in
+  the owner's home. A team cannot make that safe, and "team developers gets terminal" has to stay a no —
+  the answer is a `confined` grant with a Linux user, which is per-account by nature.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `bunx tsgo` clean. Note that on this machine `earlyoom` SIGTERMs the `bunx` wrapper around 15s; run the
+  binary directly.
+- `permissions/authorize.test.ts` is the primary guard, and it uses real registry keys deliberately so a
+  rename goes red rather than passing vacuously. Phase 4 must extend it before changing the resolver.
+- `bun run docs:check` — the permission count claim in `CLAUDE.md` moves whenever the registry does.
+- Any schema phase: verify by query per host, never by `db:push`'s exit code.
+
+## Teams — decided 2026-08-23
+
+The four open questions were answered by the owner. Recorded here so phase 4 is implementation rather
+than another round of design.
+
+**A team owns a shared folder.** Not only an authorization grouping — storage is the part that was
+actually wanted. Team *dashboards* are a probable later addition and were explicitly deferred, because
+they need a permission shape nothing here has: people who can edit a dashboard's STRUCTURE versus people
+who only see what it renders. Every grant today is read-or-write over a whole capability, so that is a new
+model rather than a new level. Build the folder; leave room for the dashboards.
+
+**Any Admin may create a team**, not the owner alone. Teams are self-service for people already trusted to
+administer the platform. This is what makes the quota section below necessary rather than optional: an
+Admin creating a team is an Admin allocating disk.
+
+**A team may grant a capability the member's own role lacks** — the union, per D6 — with one rule on top:
+**whoever creates the team can only attach capabilities they hold themselves.** Escalation is capped at the
+creator's own reach rather than the whole registry. `execution` and `admin` stay ungrantable regardless,
+and `confined` still resolves to nothing for an account with no Linux user.
+
+**Deleting a role is refused while anyone holds it, in a team or globally.** The same rule D4 already
+applies to global holders, extended rather than special-cased; the refusal should name the teams.
+
+### Two things phase 4 must not get wrong
+
+**The shared folder is enforced by the kernel, not by the grant.** Every role already holds `files` at
+`write` — they are the seeded `confined` defaults — so the capability is not what keeps one team out of
+another's folder. A Linux group per team is. The grant says whether someone can use the files surface at
+all; group membership says which folders they reach. Both are required and they are not substitutes.
+
+**The grant cache is keyed on ROLE today**, deliberately: "at most one entry per role, and a new account
+needs no warm-up" (`permissions/authorize.ts`). Teams end that — effective permissions become role plus
+memberships, which is per-user. That property is easy to lose without noticing and awkward to recover, so
+it should be a decision in the implementation rather than a side effect.
+
+## Quotas — the model, and the prerequisite nobody can skip
+
+The owner declares platform-level defaults and maxima: per user, and per team. Admins allocate inside
+them. A change re-applies at the Linux level through `POST /users/:id/provision-linux`, which already
+exists as a retry path and becomes "re-apply current policy to this account".
+
+**Enforcement is the kernel's job, not the platform's.** Members hold `terminal` at `write` and have their
+own Linux accounts, so a quota the platform tracks by counting bytes through the file browser is
+decorative — a member opens a terminal or SSHes in and writes past it. Only filesystem quotas bind.
+
+**Which means a filesystem that can carry them.** Checked on 2026-08-23: neither `officer-dev` nor `alpha`
+can. Both are ext4 with homes on the root filesystem, no `usrquota`/`grpquota`/`prjquota` mount options,
+and neither has the ext4 `quota` or `project` feature. Enabling `project` needs `tune2fs -O project` on an
+UNMOUNTED filesystem, and `/` cannot be unmounted on a running server — so it is a rescue boot, not a
+config change.
+
+The cheap moment is when a host is built, by giving the Linux homes their own filesystem with quota
+features from the start. Retrofitting a live host is expensive and gets more so with every account on it.
+
+**Where this actually matters is `edge-pertento`** — the first real multi-user deployment, and the only
+one that will have accounts that are not the owner's. `officer-dev` is a development machine and will not
+be multi-user; alpha is the owner's own. Check edge-pertento's disk before it gains more accounts.
+
+**On a host that cannot enforce, the platform says so** — "policy recorded, not enforceable here" — rather
+than storing numbers that do nothing. A feature that silently does nothing is worse than one that admits
+it cannot.
+
+## Open questions
+
+None outstanding for phase 4. The four that were here are answered above.
+   holds globally; the same question exists per team and is not answered here.

+# 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
+
+Receiving in the browser (already exists — it is the file browser); cross-user permission model
+(platform decision); phone-side arbitrary-file sending (needs a document picker; the share sheet is
+the natural door and is a later step).

+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

+# 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.
+
+---
+
+## Arming for the first time — there is nothing to rehearse against
+
+General commander doctrine says to run the action once before arming, so it is known to work unattended.
+**That does not apply here, and reading it as "replay the last release" is wrong.**
+
+Every `deploy/*` tag on the remote already has a success record in `data/deploys/`. The claim script will
+refuse every one of them, and refusing is correct — a claim exists so a release is attempted once, ever.
+So there is no legitimate trigger to rehearse with, and the only way to manufacture one is to tag a
+release, which you must never do.
+
+So: **arm, and say plainly that the action has never executed under you.** The next real release is the
+first run. That is an honest statement of what is unproven, and it is better than a rehearsal that either
+fights the claim or invents an occasion.
+
+Two things follow from it, and they are the reason this is fine rather than a gap:
+
+- The procedure below is already proven — nine releases, nine reports, and the last four ran unattended.
+  What is unproven is this loop, not the rollout.
+- Your first real release therefore deserves more narration than later ones, not less. Say what you are
+  about to do before the agent starts, so the owner can stop it while stopping it is still cheap.
+
+## 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.
+
+### Schema changes, and why `db:push` cannot be trusted
+
+**`drizzle-kit push` can fail and still exit 0.** Verified on 2026-08-23 against a scratch database: a
+change that violated a foreign key printed the Postgres error, created part of the change, left the rest
+undone, and returned zero. `bun db:push` wraps it, so a plan step that reads `bun db:push` can report
+success while the schema is half-applied.
+
+So on any release whose plan says the schema changed:
+
+**Never take the exit code as the answer. Check the database.** Query for the specific thing the plan
+introduced — the table, the column — on that host, against that host's own database. `Changes applied` on
+stdout is not evidence, and neither is exit 0. A report that says "schema ✓" without a query behind it is
+a guess.
+
+**Some changes cannot go through `db:push` at all, and the plan should say so.** The shape that fails is
+create-then-constrain: a new table plus a foreign key onto it from an existing column. `push` creates the
+table empty and adds the constraint in the same run, so every existing row violates it. There is no
+ordering of `push` invocations that fixes this, because the seed has to happen between the two halves.
+
+**When the plan says the schema needs direct SQL — last resort, and only when the plan says it.**
+
+This is allowed and it is not a licence to improvise. The rules, in order:
+
+1. **The Drizzle schema is the source of truth, always.** The SQL you run exists to make the database match
+   what the schema code already says. If you find yourself writing SQL the schema does not describe, stop —
+   that is a code change and it is not yours to make on five production hosts at 3am.
+2. **The plan must contain the exact SQL.** Written by whoever cut the release, reviewed before the tag.
+   Do not compose it yourself from the diff, and do not adapt it per host: same statements, every host, or
+   the fleet has diverged in a way nothing will detect.
+3. **Idempotent, or guarded.** `create table if not exists`, `insert … on conflict do nothing`,
+   `alter table … add constraint` only after checking `pg_constraint`. A deploy that is safe to run twice
+   is a deploy that can be retried, and being retryable is what stops a partial rollout becoming a
+   forensic exercise.
+4. **Then run `bun db:push` anyway**, and expect it to be a no-op. That is the proof the two agree: if
+   `push` still wants to change something after your SQL, the SQL was wrong or incomplete, and that is a
+   finding for the report rather than something to push past.
+5. **Verify per host, by query**, and put the result in the report per host. Not "applied on all five" —
+   the specific check, and its answer, for each.
+6. **A host where the SQL fails is a failed host.** Report it, move to the next, and do not attempt a
+   repair you invented.
+
+**One thing to refuse outright:** `--force`. It exists to answer prompts unattended, and the prompts it
+answers are the destructive ones. On five hosts holding real data, a flag whose whole job is to say yes to
+"this will truncate a table" is not a convenience. If a change needs `--force` to apply, it needs a human.
+
+### 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.

+    platform/CLAUDE.md   "27 entries as of 2026-08-13"   → the registry held 18

+    Spotlight's settings list  9 rows against 21 sections, and one route that does not exist
+
+  ── The rule for adding a check ──
+
+  A check must compare a documented claim against a value DERIVED AT RUN TIME, never against a second

+ * 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.

+ * Seed the `roles` table with the roles the platform's own code names.

+ * ── Why these four are `isSystem` ──
+ *
+ * Each is named by name somewhere in the code: this file matches `'Developer'`, `'Admin'` and `'Member'`
+ * by name on every run, and `bootstrap.ts` writes `'Super Admin'`. Renaming or deleting one of those is not
+ * a data change, it is a code change that has not happened — so the flag exists for the delete and rename
+ * paths to refuse on, rather than for the failure to turn up later as a missing database role or an
+ * account that cannot log in.
+ *
+ * ── `description` versus `grantsPostgres`/`grantsDocker` ──
+ *
+ * `seedRole` treats these two kinds of column differently, and it matters here specifically because this
+ * is the one caller that seeds `isSystem: true` rows. `description` is written once, on insert, and never
+ * touched again — an edit made on one server must not be reverted by the next deploy. `grantsPostgres` and
+ * `grantsDocker` ARE re-asserted every run for a system role, because they are not the operator's data,

+// which is the tell that it came from a shadcn template rather than from this codebase's contract.
+//
