release 2026.08.25.01

96 commits. commanders become usable, agents get a credential that can be bounded, and a nudge finally arrives. one schema change, additive: two nullable arrays on api_keys, both null on every existing key including the mobile apps'. no dependency change. edge-pertento-bridge is excluded and the plan says why at length, because it is the part somebody will otherwise get wrong. it came back 288 commits behind with no roles table and two accounts holding 'Super Admin' and 'Developer' — verified on the host. current schema makes users.role a foreign key onto roles.name, and the seeder runs from postdb:push, AFTER the push. so one db:push would create that constraint against an empty roles table. every other host got the table seeded by 08.23.04 and the constraint by 08.23.05, in that order, which is why nobody else hits this. it also missed two plans carrying one-off steps a fast-forward does not replay. bringing it forward is by hand and watched, straight after this rollout.

@@ -361,6 +366,45 @@ withholding the commit until it is good.

 Commit messages: simple lowercase, no prefixes.

+**Stage and commit in ONE step, naming the paths.** `git add <path>` then a bare `git commit` commits the
+whole **index**, not the path just named — so anything a concurrent session had staged goes into your
+commit, under your message and your session trailer. Use `git commit -- <paths>` instead, which does what
+the two-step form only looks like it does.
+
+This is not hypothetical and it is not rare: two agents share this working tree most nights. On
+2026-08-23 commit `6e092c32` says "marketplace: minesweeper in the catalogue" and contains nine files of
+another session's roles work, swept up mid-`git add`. The other session was right not to amend it —
+rewriting shared history to fix a message is the worse trade — so the record was corrected with a
+follow-up note instead. Cheap to avoid, awkward to undo.
+
+Two things about the form itself, both learned the same night. `-m`/`-F` goes BEFORE the `--`, or git
+reads the message as a pathspec. And it only works on **tracked** files — a new file must be `git add`ed
+first, so a commit introducing one is `git add <new>` then `git commit -- <paths>`, naming every path.
+Getting that wrong fails loudly, which is the good case: the release tag that followed it went onto the
+wrong commit, and only because the tag was checked afterwards did that surface at all.
+
+**An agent's commit names the session that made it.** A trailer, below `Co-Authored-By`:
+
+```
+Officer-Session: 656f5c85-e49a-4f1f-b9f3-042a04b4d043
+```
+
+The transcript id, not the session name — names are not stable. On 2026-08-23 one session was
+`platform-e2` and then `platform-18`, and another `platform-59` then `platform-72`, both renamed by a
+restart in a single night. The transcript id survived both.
+
+Why it earns a line in every commit: three agents committed to this repository in one night and `git log`
+could not tell them apart. `Co-Authored-By` says "an agent", which stopped being useful the moment there was
+more than one. And the transcript holds the reasoning a commit message cannot — the arguments considered and
+dropped, what was measured, what the owner decided and why. A commit that names its session is a commit
+whose "why" is still answerable in six months.
+
+**The precondition, and it is not built yet:** an agent cannot reliably discover its own transcript id. The
+only exposure is that a background task's output path contains it, which means starting a job to learn who
+you are. `commanderBlock` already hands a commander its id in the preamble, so the mechanism exists —
+`todo/agent-coordination/` carries giving it to every session. Until then, an agent that knows its id should
+add the trailer and one that does not should leave it out rather than guess.

+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

+
+**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

+† 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.

+
+## `officer-dev` — skip it

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

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

+- HEAD `e15ab230` → `2646842c`, remote SSH, tree clean, no untracked files.

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

+- `fofos`, `production-pertento-bridge`, `deadpool-rezio-bridge`, `macbookpro` — `reference_paths`
+  default `'{}'::text[]`. `music_now_playing` **does not exist** on these four (`information_schema`
+  count 0): the music plugin is not installed there, so there is nothing for that half of the diff to
+  touch. Not a fault.
+
+So no host's schema is wrong. What is wrong is that `db:push` cannot serve as the proof step this plan
+wanted it to be — it reports work on a database that already matches.
+
+**What the owner should know:** on `alpha`, where the table exists, every deploy drops and re-adds a live

+
+**No dependency change.** `bun.lock` is untouched. **Do not run `bun install`.**
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **`api/stt/` and `server-settings/stt.ts` are gone**, along with `POST /chat/stt`,
+  `POST /file-browser/transcribe`, the FileViewer handler behind the button hidden last release, the
+  Settings → Speech to Text screen and the orphaned locale keys in all six locales.
+- **The transcription logic moved byte for byte** into `plugins/transcribe` — the two-pass
+  detect-then-transcribe, the 25 language priming prompts, the timeouts. Verified identical, not rewritten.
+- **`transcribe` is in the catalogue**, so it can be installed from `/plugins` on any host that wants it.
+
+## Installing the plugin is NOT part of this release
+
+This release only removes. A host that had speech-to-text configured loses it until somebody installs the
+plugin and points it at a server — and no host here had it configured, so nothing is lost anywhere.
+
+**Do not install it as part of the rollout.** Which hosts get transcription is the owner's decision, made
+per host, and an install grants access to every role. Report that the catalogue entry is available; leave
+it there.
+
+## Every host
+
+1. `git fetch origin --tags` then `git merge --ff-only deploy/2026.08.24.02`
+2. `bun db:push` — expect **no changes**. If it wants to alter something, stop and report it: this release
+   touched no schema, so a diff means that host and this tree disagree about something else.
+3. `bun run plugins:update`
+4. `pm2 restart officer`
+
+`officer` only at step 4. Step 3 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
+
+**Settings should no longer offer Speech to Text.** That screen is gone, and its absence is the visible
+change. If it is still there, the frontend bundle is stale — hard refresh before deciding it failed.
+
+The audio player's header should still show download and close, and still no transcribe icon. Images
+should still offer OCR and videos extract audio; those stay in the platform for now.
+
+No direct SQL is needed and none is authorised.

+**5 of 5 target hosts succeeded.** Two hosts skipped by plan, neither a failure.
+
+Rolled out `deploy/2026.08.24.02` → `e0d80fd3`. Tag and `package.json` agreed. Every target moved
+`c813eef6` → `e0d80fd3` — one commit, no host ahead, no host behind.
+
+Speech-to-text left the platform. Nothing was installed in its place: the `transcribe` plugin is in the
+catalogue and available, and per the plan no host was given it. That is the owner's decision, per host.
+
+## Per host
+
+| Host | Before | After | db:push | plugins | officer restart | processes |
+| ---- | ------ | ----- | ------- | ------- | --------------- | --------- |
+| `alpha` | `c813eef6` | `e0d80fd3` | no changes | 13/13 | 74 → 75 | 20/20 online |

+| `macbookpro` | `c813eef6` | `e0d80fd3` | no changes | none installed | 14 → 15 | 6/6 online |
+
+Every host ran the plan's four steps in order, all four exited 0, and none was stopped early. Checkout
+paths were taken from each `officer` process's `pm_cwd`, not assumed — `alpha` resolved to
+`~/officerdev/platform`, not its stale second checkout. `deadpool-rezio-bridge` was reached as `br`.
+`macbookpro` was awake; its `bun` commands ran with `/opt/homebrew/bin` appended to PATH and `pm2` as a
+separate command.
+
+## Schema — verified, not assumed
+
+The plan says no schema changed and `bun db:push` must report no changes. **It reported none on all five
+hosts**, and the evidence is that it emitted no DDL: no `ALTER`, no `CREATE`, no statement of any kind
+between reading the config and finishing. `[✓] Changes applied` alone was not treated as evidence —
+`drizzle-kit push` prints that line whether or not it did anything, and it can exit 0 on a half-applied
+change.
+
+`stdin` was `/dev/null` on every host, so no prompt could be answered and none was. No direct SQL was
+needed, none was authorised, and none was run. `--force` was not used anywhere.
+
+The seed steps that follow `push` were no-ops everywhere, which is the same answer from a second angle:
+`0 seeded, 4 already present` for roles on all five, and every transcript already recorded.
+
+## Skipped
+
+- **`officer-dev`** — the host this rollout ran on. Not pulled, nothing restarted. It already carries
+  `e0d80fd3` and has the `transcribe` plugin installed. Restarting `officer` here ends the rollout
+  mid-flight, so the whole host is left alone deliberately. **The owner restarts it, as the last step,
+  once happy with the rest.**
+- **`edge-pertento-bridge`** — deliberately skipped per `docs/servers.md`, down since 2026-08-23 by the
+  owner's call. Not contacted at all, so it cost nothing this time.
+
+## Notes — nothing here needs action
+
+- **`plugins:update` bounced far more than `officer`.** Sequential per plugin, each printing
+  `sidecar: started`: 13 sidecars on `alpha`, 2 on `deadpool`, 1 each on `fofos` and
+  `production-pertento-bridge`. A report listing only `officer` under "restarted" would understate what
+  moved. All came back online.
+- **`fofos` has one untracked file**, `scripts/chk.ts`. A note, not a skip — a fast-forward could never
+  touch it, and nobody's work was discarded to ship this.
+- **`production-pertento-bridge` prints an nvm warning** on every interactive shell: `.npmrc` carries a
+  `globalconfig`/`prefix` setting incompatible with nvm. Cosmetic, pre-existing, unrelated to this
+  release, and it did not affect any step. Not fixed — that is not a rollout's job.
+
+## What was not verified
+
+The plan's visible check — that Settings no longer offers Speech to Text — is a **browser** check, and
+this rollout has no browser. The code carrying that screen is gone from every host's tree, which is
+verified; that the rendered UI reflects it is not, and a stale JS bundle would look identical to a failed
+deploy. Hard refresh before concluding anything from it.

+
+Commanders become usable, agents get a credential that can be bounded, and a nudge finally arrives.
+
+96 commits — the largest release so far, and most of it is one night's work on commanders driven by
+watching real setup runs.
+
+**One schema change**, additive and safe. **No dependency change** — `bun.lock` is untouched.
+**Do not run `bun install`.**
+
+**`edge-pertento-bridge` is NOT a target for this release.** It needs a schema step no other host does.
+See "Edge is excluded, and why" — this is the important part of this plan.
+
+## What is in it
+
+- **Commanders.** The template a new commander is created with was rewritten across the night: it asks
+  one question per turn in the owner's own language, proves its action on a single item before arming,
+  writes its own `CLASSIFICATION.md` and `DISPATCHING.md` rather than editing the platform's file, and
+  records per step in its ledger. The Stop control works, a deleted commander stays deleted, and its
+  children no longer appear in `/chat`.
+- **Every agent session gets a key, scoped to `notify`.** A chat can send you a notification through
+  the platform instead of having no sanctioned way to reach you. It is minted per session and revoked
+  with it.
+- **Credential narrowing** — `api_keys.permissions` (an allow list) and `api_keys.excluded_kinds`
+  (resolved against the live registry). Applied **before** the owner bypass, which makes it the only
+  thing that can bound a Super Admin — the case that matters, because a commander holds the owner's
+  identity unattended for months. This is the schema change.
+- **`notify` moved from `app` to `core`.** It was grantable, nothing granted it, and every Member's app
+  was silently 403'd registering its own push token. On the bridges that is four accounts.
+- **The loopback notify door is closed.** `/_officer/` paths now require a producer secret the sidecar
+  issues at registration. It previously accepted any caller that set a header.
+- **Sidecar proxy timeouts are OFF.** `TIMEOUTS_ON = false` in `create-proxy.ts`, one line to reverse.
+  Bun's `server.timeout()` stores one byte, so declaring 1800 seconds gave a _shorter_ timeout than
+  declaring nothing. More permissive than what these hosts run today — a long transcription or a film
+  no longer gets cut.
+- **A nudge always arrives.** Three refusals removed from the nudger. Read that commit before judging
+  it: the old guards meant no nudge could ever fire on a machine running commanders, silently.
+- **Plugin tasks appear in the file browser**, and a direct task run is direct — no modal, no job row.
+- **`/todos`**, a kanban board over the repo's own `todo/` tree, owner-only.
+- **Two editor fixes** — one buffer per file across panels, and the model picker reading the right id.
+
+## The schema change
+
+Two nullable columns on `api_keys`:
+
+```
+permissions      text[]   null
+excluded_kinds   text[]   null
+```
+
+Both null means unnarrowed, which is what every existing key is — including the mobile apps'. **No
+existing credential changes behaviour.** Nothing is dropped and nothing is rewritten.
+
+`bun db:push` applies it. **Do not take the exit code as the answer** — drizzle-kit can print an error
+and still exit 0. Verify on each host, against that host's own database:
+
+```sql
+select column_name from information_schema.columns
+ where table_name = 'api_keys' and column_name in ('permissions','excluded_kinds');
+```
+
+Two rows, or the host is not done. `permissions` alone is a half-applied push — stop and report it.
+
+## Every host except edge
+
+1. `git fetch origin --tags` then `git merge --ff-only deploy/2026.08.25.01`
+2. `bun db:push` — then **run the query above**. Two rows.
+3. `bun run plugins:update`
+4. `pm2 restart officer`
+
+`officer` only at step 4. Step 3 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 is
+a laptop and may be asleep — unreachable is a skip with a note, not a failure.
+
+## Edge is excluded, and why
+
+`edge-pertento-bridge` came back on 2026-08-24 at `deploy/2026.08.22.02`, **288 commits behind**. It is
+a deploy target again and its row is in `docs/servers.md`, but it must not be rolled out with the rest,
+and the reason was verified on the host rather than inferred:
+
+- **It has no `roles` table.** `to_regclass('roles')` is null.
+- **Its two accounts hold `Super Admin` and `Developer`.**
+
+Current schema makes `users.role` a foreign key onto `roles.name`. Every other host got `roles` created
+and seeded by `2026.08.23.04`, then the foreign key added by `2026.08.23.05` — two releases, in order,
+against an already-populated table. Edge would do both in one `db:push`, and the seeder runs from
+`postdb:push`, which is **after** the push completes. So the constraint would be created against an
+empty `roles` while `users.role` holds two values that are not in it.
+
+That fails. Worse, it can fail and still exit 0, leaving the schema half-applied — which is exactly the
+warning `2026.08.23.05` carried.
+
+**It also missed two plans with one-off steps** that a single fast-forward does not replay:
+`2026.08.23.05`'s pre-flight SQL, and `2026.08.23.06`'s orphan-affordance cleanup.
+
+So: **name edge as skipped, do not attempt it, and do not report it as a failure.** Bringing it forward
+is a watched, by-hand operation — push, seed, push again, verify the constraint — and it is being done
+separately by the owner and this session, immediately after this rollout.
+
+**One more thing about edge, for whoever reaches it later:** from `officer-dev` the name
+`edge-pertento-bridge` does not resolve. It answers on **`100.64.0.15`**. `docs/servers.md` has the
+address; use it.
+
+## What to check, this release
+
+**A commander can be created and asks its first question in your language.** That is the release, and
+it is the thing most likely to reveal a stale bundle — hard refresh before deciding anything failed.
+
+**A Member's phone can register for notifications.** `notify` is core now, so an account that was
+403'ing should simply work.
+
+**Nothing else should have changed for an ordinary signed-in owner.** Every narrowing column is null on
+every existing key.
+
+No direct SQL is needed on any host in this release, and none is authorised. The query in "The schema
+change" is a read.
+
+## Hosts
+
+- **`officer-dev`** — skip it. Restarting `officer` there ends the rollout. It is already on this code.
+- **`edge-pertento-bridge`** — skipped, see above. Not a failure.
+- **`alpha`**, **`fofos`**, **`production-pertento-bridge`**, **`deadpool-rezio-bridge`** — the targets.
+- **`macbookpro`** — a target if it is awake.

 Spec conversation 2026-08-18, owner + agent, back and forth. This is the write-up asked for partway through

+**Superseded in part, 2026-08-24, by `docs/commander-directory.md`.** A commander's identity moved from

+longer shares one directory per user, nor chooses an arbitrary one — it has its own), and the `POST

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

 That leaves **Monaco's own `onChange`** — the model was edited the way a paste or a programmatic
 `executeEdits` edits it. Which is why this needs to be caught in the act rather than reasoned about.

-One thing to check first, because it is recent and it is ours: `2b70a570` gave `<Editor>` a real `path`,
-so models are keyed by file URI globally rather than per mount. Two panels open on the same file now share
-one model. That should be an improvement, and it is a change in exactly the layer that turns out to be
-involved.
+## Two code-editor panels share one model and two buffers (2026-08-25)
+
+The suspicion recorded here — `2b70a570` giving `<Editor>` a real `path`, so models are keyed by file URI
+**globally** rather than per mount — is correct, and it is worse than "should be an improvement". Verified
+by reading `@monaco-editor/react@4.7.0`'s built source, not inferred:
+
+- **Model lookup is `getModel(Uri.parse(path)) || createModel(value, …)`.** An existing model for that path
+  wins and the second mount's `value` is **ignored at creation**. So the second panel to open a file adopts
+  the first panel's buffer.
+- **The value-sync effect then overwrites it**, because `value !== editor.getValue()`:
+  `executeEdits('', [{ range: getFullModelRange(), text: value }])`.
+- **The guard that suppresses `onChange` during that write is per-INSTANCE.** The package sets an internal
+  flag around its own `executeEdits` and checks it inside `onDidChangeModelContent`. Panel B's flag is not
+  panel A's. So B's programmatic write **fires A's `onChange`** with B's content.
+- **Unmount disposes the shared model.** `keepCurrentModel` defaults to `false` and we never set it, so the
+  cleanup calls `editor.getModel()?.dispose()`. And `CodeEditor` mounts `<Editor key={activeFile.path}>`,
+  so this runs on every **tab switch**, not only on panel close — switching tabs in one panel disposes the
+  model another panel is still displaying.
+
+The other half is ours: `useEditorState` holds `files` in a plain `useState`, so it is **per panel
+instance**. Its own comment says so — "this app also mounts as a dashboard panel, and a dashboard can hold
+two of them". One shared model, two independent `content` values, and an `onChange` that crosses between
+them. `CodeEditor`'s handler does `setContent(activeFile.path, value)`, so panel A's buffer silently becomes
+panel B's content and `isDirty` flips with no keystroke — dirty tab, content the user never typed, disk
+untouched, fixed by reopening. That is the reported symptom's exact shape.
+
+**What this does NOT yet explain is how JOB OUTPUT becomes one of those `value`s.** Nothing in the app
+writes job output into `useEditorState` — `openFile`/`setContent`/`reloadFile` are called only from
+`CodeEditor.tsx`, and the task log renders through shiki. So this is a real defect that produces the right
+shape, and it is not proven to be the reported instance. **The trap is still the thing that names the
+text's source.** Do not delete it on the strength of this section.
+
+## Fixed 2026-08-25: the buffer is shared, because the model already was
+
+`useEditorState` now keys buffers by path in one store shared across panels, and keeps only the tab set and
+the active path per panel. The rule that matters: **`openFile` discards the content it is handed when the
+file is already open somewhere else.** That mirrors what Monaco does with the model, and it is what removes
+the divergence — with both panels reading one buffer there is never a `value` for the sync effect to
+reconcile, so the `executeEdits` never runs and the cross-panel `onChange` never fires.
+
+A buffer outlives the tab that opened it. `holders` is the set of panels with the file open, and the entry
+is dropped when the last one closes, so closing a tab in one panel cannot take unsaved work out from under
+another. Closing the last one still discards unsaved edits, exactly as before.
+
+`<Editor keepCurrentModel>` is the other half, and it was needed under any fix: the default disposes the
+shared model on unmount, and `key={activeFile.path}` makes that every **tab switch**, not just a panel
+close. The cost is one retained model per file opened in a session.
+
+Two things worth knowing:
+
+- **Writes go through `queryClient.setQueryData`, not `useGlobal`'s setter.** `useGlobal` applies a
+  functional update to the `data` captured in render rather than to what is in the cache now. With one
+  writer that is invisible; this slot has one writer per panel, which is the whole scenario.
+- **The trap can now fire legitimately.** Two panels on one file share a model, so a large paste in one
+  fires the other's `onChange` while it is unfocused — which is what `reportSuspiciousEdit` looks for. A
+  report whose `stack` runs through the editor's own `onChange` with another panel open is that, not the
+  bug. This is the reason to keep reading the `stack` rather than the count.
+
+Pinned by `useEditorState.test.ts` (9 tests): adoption, cross-panel edit, close-with-holders, drop on last
+close, release on unmount, and that the tab set stays per panel.
+
+**Still not closed.** This removes the mechanism, not the mystery: where the log text came from is still
+unknown, and nothing found so far writes job output into an editor buffer. Keep the trap.

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

-1. **No plural rules.** `1 file` / `2 files` has no expression. `Intl.PluralRules` is built into the
-   runtime and unused.
-2. **No locale-aware dates or numbers.** ~23 `toLocaleDateString/TimeString/String()` call sites use
-   the _browser's_ locale, not the user's chosen one, so a Portuguese UI shows American dates.
-3. **No fallback chain.** `resolveKey` falls back to `en` and nothing else, so `pt-BR` cannot inherit
-   from `pt`.
-4. **One catalog, one workspace.** `locales/` lives inside `officer-web`. The 213 panel files in

+
+**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

 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

+
+Seven files. Six are mechanical; the seventh is the one that gets missed.
+
+**Three catalogues, one per workspace.** Copy `en-GB.json` beside itself and translate the values,
+keeping every key:
+
+```
+src/apps/officer-web/locales/<code>.json          app.*    the shell, screens, settings
+src/workspaces/officerdev/src/locales/<code>.json  panel.*  the windowed apps
+src/workspaces/components/locales/<code>.json      ui.*     shared components
+```
+
+**Three registrations, one per catalogue.** Each is an `import` plus a line in a map:
+
+```
+src/apps/officer-web/lib/catalogues.ts
+src/workspaces/officerdev/src/locales/index.ts
+src/workspaces/components/locales/index.ts
+```
+
+**And the picker**, which is the one that gets missed the other way round:
+
+```
+src/apps/officer-web/lib/locales.ts    SHIPPED_LOCALES
+```
+
+### Why this is spelled out rather than left to reading the code
+
+es-ES, de-DE and fr-FR once shipped translated, in perfect key parity, listed in the picker — and
+completely dead. All three registration files still imported only en-GB and pt-PT, so the merge
+produced three empty catalogues and the UI rendered raw keys in three of five languages.
+
+Nothing caught it. The parity tests compare the JSON files against each other and every file was
+correct; a locale that is never imported is invisible to them by construction. The picker was right.
+Four edits in four files with no single place that knew all four had happened.

+- The three `parity.test.ts` files read their own directory rather than listing locales by hand, so a

+# A plugin's capabilities are LOADED, never copied
+
+**Status: built.** Skills, affordances and notification catalogues landed in `2026.08.23.06`; tasks — the
+read-write one, and the last piece — landed on 2026-08-24. The four publishers are gone.
+
+## 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.
+
+**How it went in, since it turned out to be one function rather than several.** Every path that runs a
+task — the file browser's context menu, both runner sockets, the job queue, the pipeline executor —
+resolves it through `getTaskByDirName` and then reads `implementation` off the record. So the sources go
+in there and in `listTasks`, and a plugin's task becomes runnable everywhere at once with its identity
+unchanged: still a directory name, still what `pipeline_jobs` stores.
+
+The record carries `plugin` — the app name, or null for the owner's own. That one field does the rest:
+`updateTask` and `deleteTask` throw on it, `DELETE /api/tasks/:name` answers 409 naming the plugin, and
+the capability screen replaces the edit and delete controls with a line saying whose it is. Without the
+delete guard the old code was quietly a no-op — `rm -rf` on a path in the owner's store that does not
+exist, then `{ ok: true }`, and the task still in the menu.
+
+`getTaskByDirName` also refuses a name containing a separator. It always joined a caller-supplied string
+onto a path; searching several roots is the moment that stops being one directory nobody could escape.
+
+**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. The tie-break shipped as first-come with the owner's store searched
+first, which settles the case that matters — a plugin cannot take over a name its owner is already
+using — and leaves two plugins colliding with each other resolved by discovery order, which is arbitrary.
+Worth revisiting 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

+## 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.

+ * ── `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 ──
 *
- * No foreign key from `users.role`. That change cannot go through `db:push`: push creates the table empty
- * and adds the constraint in the same run, so every existing account violates it — verified against a
- * scratch database on 2026-08-23, where push reported the violation, created the table, skipped the
- * constraint, and exited 0. The FK is a separate release, once every host holds these rows.
- *
- * So today `users.role` is still a plain text column and nothing enforces that its value is a real role.
- * That is the intended state of this phase: additive, unable to fail, and safe to run on five hosts
- * unattended.
- *
- * Never overwrites. A description edited on one server must not be reverted by the next deploy.
+ * 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
