release 2026.08.23.06

Swedish, plugin capabilities read where they live, dev tools as a property of a
role, a commander as a directory, and atomic uploads.

TWO schema changes and bun db:push can apply neither. Both drop a column while
adding others, which is the shape drizzle-kit cannot tell from a rename — it
asks, bails with no terminal to answer, and the wrapper still exits 0. The plan
carries both blocks, guarded and idempotent, tested against a scratch database:
they apply, re-apply cleanly once already applied, and the roles guard still
refuses a host where anything wrote a provisioning_script.

The command_hq block DELETES every commander rather than migrating one. That is
the owner's call and the plan says to tell people what was removed and put it in
the report — a commander is somebody's standing job, not a row.

Also carries a cleanup no plan format covers: three hosts hold a copy of gitea's
affordance published by the mechanism this release removes, and affordances are
deliberately not de-duplicated, so without the removal the agent reads the same
guidance twice.

The verification step is a conversation rather than a query. The capability
refactor's failure mode is an agent that quietly knows less, which no schema
check can see.

 Commit messages: simple lowercase, no prefixes.

+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.

+Why it earns a line in every commit: three agents committed to this repository in one night and `git log`

+**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

+- **`Documents/SendOff`, capital S** — the app's folder constant and the Files door both updated.
+  Good catch flagging the case explicitly; the app did build that path itself and would have opened
+  an empty sibling folder.
+- **Registration at `POST /api/sendoff/devices`** (and PATCH beside it) — adopted, and the collision

+  carries ids — one address format, no translation layer.

+One request for `/targets` when the send screen gets built here: include each person's display name
+*as the folder will be named* (the same display-name-or-email-local-part fallback the writer uses),

+# 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.

+
+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.

+# 2026.08.23.01
+
+The commander creation flow, rebuilt end to end — named, given a directory, and started by a button that
+makes it interview you rather than waiting for a prompt somebody else wrote. Plus the delete path that
+actually removes one, `/minesweeper`, and `docs:check` guarding the documentation's checkable claims.
+
+**SCHEMA CHANGE.** `bun db:push` is a step. `command_hq_spawned` is new and `command_hq_sessions` gains
+`name`. Without the push, Command HQ fails on a missing column the first time it lists a commander.
+
+**No dependency change** — `bun.lock` is untouched across `deploy/2026.08.22.02..HEAD`. `package.json`
+moved only to add `engines.bun` and two scripts. **Do not run `bun install`.**
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **A commander is created, not configured.** Name it, choose its working directory, press Start. It reads
+  the directory, works out whether the job is already written down there, and either reads its
+  understanding back for confirmation or asks what it should be watching. The name is the brief — it is the
+  only thing the owner says before anything else, and it now reaches the model instead of only titling the
+  transcript.
+- **`command_hq_sessions.name`** — the platform owns the name. It was only ever in the transcript's summary
+  record, which the harness cannot write until the first turn ends, so the list showed the opening brief
+  while the header showed the real name.
+- **Deleting a commander removes it.** Four defects, each of which left something behind: the session kill
+  ran in the wrong process and always failed; the transcript was deleted while the harness was still
+  writing it, so it came straight back as an untitled chat; `chat_session_events` is keyed on officer's
+  session key while everything else uses the transcript id, so its rows were never matched; and the key was
+  resolved from an in-memory map that is empty for anything older than the process. The event rows carry
+  both ids, so they are asked when the maps cannot answer.
+- **`GET /chat/live?kind=`** — `agent` (the default), `commander`, or `all`, with `counts` always
+  describing the whole set. Defaulting to agents means a client that forgets cannot be handed a commander;
+  the web list asks for `all` explicitly.
+- **A dropped sidecar command says so.** `sendFire` did nothing when no sidecar was registered — no log, no
+  error — so answering a question during the reconnect window after a restart vanished and the card span
+  forever. Question answers and plan decisions now report it.
+- **`/minesweeper`** — a wine session streamed to the browser over RFB. The session is not running on
+  `officer-dev`, so the route renders its "not running" state with a Start button. That is expected.
+- **Usage limits are read live.** `limitsCache` was keyed on nothing, so switching Anthropic account showed
+  the previous account's percentages under the new name. The cache remains for the failure path only, keyed
+  per account.
+- **`bun docs:check`** compares documented claims against values derived at run time — the permission
+  count, the PM2 entry count, the generated platform skill. It found both claims it was written to check
+  already wrong. **Required before tagging a release.**
+- **Empty transcripts no longer list.** A file holding only harness metadata and no turns is not a
+  conversation; four had accumulated as "(untitled) · 0 msgs".
+- **Bun is held at the 1.3 series** — `engines.bun` and `BUN_SERIES` move together. Do not run
+  `bun upgrade` on a host.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git pull --ff-only`
+2. **`bun db:push`** — new this release
+3. `bun run plugins:update`
+4. `pm2 restart officer`
+
+`officer` only. Step 3 restarts each plugin's own sidecar; that is the script's behaviour and belongs in
+the report rather than being omitted.
+
+**`macbookpro`:** append `/opt/homebrew/bin` to PATH for the `bun` commands, run `pm2` separately. See
+`docs/servers.md`.
+
+## `officer-dev` — skip it
+
+This is the machine the rollout runs from, and restarting `officer` here ends the agent performing it.
+Name it as skipped in the report. It is already current.

+**4 of 6 target hosts succeeded.** `officer-dev` skipped by the plan (the commander runs there) and

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

+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

+**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

+  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.
+- **Nothing was retried and nothing was repaired.** No step failed on any host.

+
+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

+**5 of 5 targeted hosts succeeded.** Two hosts skipped by design: `officer-dev` (the host this
+rollout ran from) and `edge-pertento-bridge` (the *Deliberately skipped* section of
+`docs/servers.md`).
+
+Tag `deploy/2026.08.23.04` → `ff647fba`. `package.json` version matched the tag. Plan file
+`deploy/2026.08.23.04.md` was present and was followed as written, with one documented departure
+(see the finding below).
+
+Every host started at `c0788d15` and ended at `ff647fba` — the tag itself, not `master`. No host
+had tracked-file changes and no host needed a non-fast-forward. `--force` was not used anywhere
+and no destructive prompt was reached. No direct SQL was run; none was authorised.

+
+† Every host printed `Changes applied` rather than the expected `No changes detected`. See below.
+
+## The finding: `db:push` reported changes on all five hosts
+
+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.

+
+---
+
+## 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.

+`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.

+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.
+
+## What to check BEFORE booting into rescue
+
+Run these on the live machine. They decide whether the procedure below is the right one.
+
+```bash
+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.

+# 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.

+# Roles and teams
+
+**Status: plan, not built.** Phase 0 landed 2026-08-23 (`roles` is a table). Everything below phase 0 is
+design, written down so the work starts from a spec rather than from a conversation.
+
+## What this is
+
+Officer began as one person's server and its authorization model says so: four role names in a TypeScript
+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:
+

+## 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.

+### 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.

+ * Seed the `roles` table with the roles the platform's own code names.
+ *
+ * Runs from `postdb:push`, so every machine gets the rows on its next schema push rather than needing a
+ * per-server step in a deploy plan. Bun fires `pre`/`post` hooks for colon-named scripts — the same
+ * mechanism `backfill-session-models.ts` relies on.
+ *
+ * ── 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,
+ * they are what "Developer" MEANS — the same standing as the name itself. `rolePermitsDevTools()` used to
+ * be that declaration, hardcoded as `role === 'Developer'`; this table is where it lives now, and this
+ * SEED array is the only place either flag is set for these four roles. See `seedRole`'s own comment in
+ * `officer_db/src/roles/queries.ts` for the mechanics.
+ *
+ * ── What this deliberately does NOT do ──
+ *
+ * Never overwrite `description`, as above. And never touch a CUSTOM role's grants — those are set through
+ * `PATCH /api/roles/:name/grants` (`setRoleGrants`), which itself refuses to touch a system role for the
+ * mirror-image reason: writing there would look like it worked and then silently revert on the next run of
