pastilhas 5afa2d832e step 3/4: sidecar routing keys become handles — NOT YET VERIFIED LIVE
Committed before restarting, deliberately: this changes the registration wire,
and the restart that proves it also bounces officer-claude-code, which is what
the session doing the work runs on. An uncommitted 25-file protocol change is
worse to inherit than one marked unverified.

`capabilities: ['music']` → `handles: ['music']` on the registration message,
across 20 sidecars, both plugins, the connector, the registry and the protocol
type. findSidecarByCapability → findSidecarHandling, waitForCapability →
waitForHandler.

The name: a sidecar already has `handleCommand`, so the list is literally what
it handles. `provider` was rejected — 390 existing uses and it already means
websocket door. `serves` was rejected — collides with HTTP serving, which
sidecars also do.

THIS IS A BREAKING WIRE CHANGE with no compatibility shim. A platform expecting
`handles` reads `undefined` from a sidecar sending `capabilities`, registers it
with an empty list, and every sendCommand finds nobody — chat, terminal and
music all fail with "No sidecar handling X is connected". So the whole estate
has to restart together; there is no rolling upgrade.

If it goes wrong: `git revert HEAD` and `pm2 restart all` again. The registry is
in-memory and nothing about this touches the database, so a revert is complete.

Found a fifth meaning of the word on the way, correctly named and untouched:
the pty sidecar's terminfo capability queries (XTGETTCAP escape sequences).
That is now five — permissions, the item store, routing keys, Lightning wallet
features, and terminfo.

tsgo clean, 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7. Not exercised against a live sidecar.

pastilhas 5ec354cfcb step 2/4: role_capabilities becomes role_permissions, without losing a grant
The dangerous one. `drizzle-kit push` does not understand renames — it sees a
table gone and a table added, and with --force it resolves that by dropping and
creating. The 9 live grants would have vanished silently and every member would
have lost terminal, chat and files until someone noticed and re-granted by hand.

So the database moved FIRST, by explicit ALTER, and the code followed:

  ALTER TABLE role_capabilities RENAME TO role_permissions
  ALTER TABLE role_permissions RENAME COLUMN capability TO permission
  ALTER INDEX uq_role_capabilities_role_capability RENAME TO uq_role_permissions_role_permission
  ALTER TABLE ... RENAME CONSTRAINT ck_role_capabilities_{role,level,not_owner} TO ck_role_permissions_*
  ALTER INDEX role_capabilities_pkey RENAME TO role_permissions_pkey

Seven objects, not one, and all in a single transaction: a partial rename would
leave drizzle-kit seeing a table it half-recognised, which is the same drop.
The names were read out of pg_indexes and pg_constraint rather than assumed.

`bun db:push` then reported **No changes detected** — which is the whole proof.
It means the ALTERs matched the schema code exactly, so there was nothing for
push to reconcile and nothing for --force to destroy.

Grants verified against a JSON backup taken before the first ALTER: 9 rows,
byte-identical, `role_capabilities` gone from the database.

No client noticed. Step 1 had already moved the wire to `permission` by mapping
in the route while the column still said `capability`, so this step deleted the
mapping rather than changing any response. The two call sites that carried a
`capability` key with a comment explaining why now say `permission` and the
comments are gone.

Also renamed officer_db/src/capabilities/ → permissions/, roleCapabilities →
rolePermissions, CapabilityLevelValue → PermissionLevelValue.

Verified live after restart: self 200, admin list 200, gated route 200, no
token 401, grants read back as {role, permission, level}, and a PUT round trip
left 9 grants intact.

tsgo clean. 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7.

pastilhas 2e8ec845c8 step 1/4: the permission engine is called permissions, not capabilities
The word meant four different things in this repo, not the three the offscale
doc records:

  1. the permission registry              → RENAMED here
  2. $OFFICER_ROOT/capabilities/ items    → kept; this is what capabilities are
  3. sidecar routing keys                 → step 3, becoming `handles`
  4. Lightning wallet features            → kept; a domain term, and on the wire
                                            to the mobile apps

The fourth was not in the doc and a global find-and-replace would have broken
the mobile wallet, which reads `{ kind, capabilities: Capability[] }` from the
wallet sidecar. So this renamed against an explicit file allowlist rather than
by sweeping the tree, and `CapabilityPage.tsx` — the UI for the item store, and
correctly named already — was left alone.

Moved: servers/capabilities/ → servers/permissions/, capability-gate.ts →
permission-gate.ts, users/capabilities-routes.ts → permissions-routes.ts,
hooks/useCapabilities.ts → usePermissions.ts. Identifiers follow.

Three breaks the typechecker could not see, all found by exercising it live.

The route paths moved with the prose sweep, so the server served
/user/permissions while the frontend still called /user/capabilities. A 404 on
every page load, and tsgo clean throughout.

The response FIELD moved too. `client.get<SelfPermissions>()` is an unchecked
cast, so `data.capabilities` became `undefined` at runtime with no compile
error — `can()` would have answered "no" to everything and the dock would have
emptied itself.

And the grants list was passed straight out of the database, so it arrived as
`{ role, capability, level }` while the screen read `grant.permission`. Every
role would have rendered as holding nothing. It is now mapped in the route:
the wire says `permission`, the column still says `capability`, and step 2
therefore changes nothing any client can see.

The stale react-query keys were the quiet one: two files still invalidated
['self-capabilities'] after the hook moved to ['self-permissions'], so
installing a plugin would have silently stopped refreshing the dock.

The database is untouched — `role_capabilities` and its `capability` column are
step 2, and the two call sites that cross that boundary say so in a comment.
Round-tripped the 9 live grants through the admin endpoint to prove the PUT
contract survived: 9 before, 9 after, Member's three intact.

Also reverted prettier churn on five landing-page files that a broad --write
picked up. Second time today; the lesson is not sticking.

tsgo clean. 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7 pre-existing failures — two of which
now read "path → permission" rather than "path → capability".

pastilhas b0fcd8b81b stop tracking generated migrations, and delete the stale one
Nothing applies these. There is no __drizzle_migrations table, `drizzle-kit
migrate` has never run here, and `bun db:push` diffs the schema code against
the live database directly — the schema code is the source of truth, as
src/databases/CLAUDE.md says twice.

The file was badly stale besides: 36 tables describing a schema from before
capabilities, api_keys, agent_panels, the app store and the plugin system
existed, including task_logs, terminal_containers and queue_jobs, which no
longer exist anywhere in the codebase.

Ignored rather than merely deleted, because `bun db:gen` reads src/schema.ts —
whose last line imports plugin-schemas.gen.ts, generated from the plugin
DIRECTORIES on whichever machine ran it. A committed migration would launder
per-machine plugin state into the repository: generate it here and history
gains music_* and offscale_*; generate it on a fresh clone and the next commit
deletes them again. Two developers would fight over that file forever.
Generating one locally to read a diff still works, and stays local.

── The history purge was tried and undone, deliberately ──

git-filter-repo removed the blobs from all 1326 commits, cleanly: 1848 files
became 1845, only the three migrations gone, every other blob byte-identical,
verified against a bundle.

It was reverted anyway. This codebase cites 76 commit SHAs as evidence —
totality.ts points at 2873948 for the 2026-08-06 websocket incident,
registry.ts at 044aacf4, CLAUDE.md at f35c145 for the /chat exemplar — and a
rewrite changes every one. They survived locally only through 1,328 replace
refs, which are local to one clone and fooled my own verification into
reporting the pre-rewrite commit as already clean.

Three stale files nobody reads in old commits are not worth 76 dangling
citations in a codebase whose documentation works by pointing at the commit
that proves the claim. Untracking gets the entire practical benefit: gone from
the tree, ignored forever, never regenerated into git.

Recorded so nobody spends the afternoon rediscovering it.

pastilhas 9b1c0a75b2 a dock tile can be bare, so artwork is not framed in a swatch
The tile background exists so a white lucide glyph has something to sit on —
on nothing it is invisible. Artwork does not need it, and a logo framed in an
arbitrary coloured square reads as a mistake.

  badge  rounded square filled with `color`, icon inset   (what a glyph needs)
  bare   no background, artwork fills the tile            (what a mark wants)

DEFAULTED from whether the plugin ships assets/icon.png — artwork gets bare, a
glyph gets badge — with `tile` on the manifest to override either way. Presence
is the declaration, as everywhere else here; the field exists only for the
plugin whose artwork genuinely wants a backdrop. Music sets nothing and gets
bare.

`color` is still required either way. It does four jobs and only one of them is
the square: the active glow, the indicator dot and the plugins-list tint all
read it too.

The icon was also smaller than it looked. The source carried ~8% transparent
margin on every side and the artwork is 233x221 inside a square frame, so with
the old `h-7 w-7` inset inside a `w-10` box the duck occupied roughly 39% of
the tile's area. Cropped to its alpha bounding box, padded back to square to
keep aspect, and rescaled: it now fills 95% of the frame instead of 79%, and
`bare` gives it the whole tile instead of half.

Measured rather than eyeballed — the bounding box came from extracting the
alpha plane and scanning it, then the crop was applied to the 1254px original
so nothing was resampled twice.

tsgo clean, 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7. Verified live: music reports
tile=bare, example and offscale still badge.

pastilhas f78abbe05a a plugin ships its own dock icon as a file, not a lucide name
The manifest's `icon` was a lucide NAME, resolved by `resolveIcon` — which
knows 106 glyphs out of lucide's ~1,500. A plugin naming one outside that set
silently rendered a neutral box, and a plugin from a marketplace had no way to
see the ceiling coming.

So the icon is a FILE now: `plugins/<name>/assets/icon.png`, discovered by
presence like everything else here. `manifest.icon` stays as an optional
fallback for a plugin with no artwork — example and offscale still use it — and
the file wins when both exist.

No new mechanism was needed. The app store already published sidecar assets:
`<dir>/assets/` → `public/plugins/<id>/`, served by a dynamic `/plugins/*`
route, with `DockItem.image` rendering an <img>. `pluginDockManifests()` simply
never emitted `image`. Install now publishes and uninstall unpublishes — the
one thing uninstall is allowed to delete, because these are copies whose
originals are still in the plugin's source.

Base64 in the manifest was considered and dropped. It would ride in every
/api/user/capabilities response for every user on every page load, can't be
cached separately, and puts a 5KB string literal in a source file — against the
rule this manifest keeps: what a directory listing can say, it says. It also
needs no support: `image` goes straight into <img src>, so a data: URL already
works for anyone who wants one.

Music ships OffMusic.png, resized 1254² → 256² (1.6MB → 108KB) with alpha
intact, sized for 3× DPI at the dock's 32px render. It also drops `icon` — the
artwork is a voxel duck in headphones, not a glyph.

The plugins page showed a generic Puzzle for every plugin; the list and detail
header now show the plugin's own icon when it has one.

Two bugs found while testing.

Dock.tsx imported 26 lucide icons and used 14. The twelve dead ones — Music,
Bitcoin, Receipt, Images, CalendarDays, Contact, Clapperboard, Mail, Network,
ArrowDownUp, FileText, FolderKanban, MonitorSmartphone — were residue from when
every feature had a hardcoded tile. Deleted.

And uninstalling a plugin left its icon URL answering 500, not 404. server.tsx
globs ./public at BOOT into one exact route per file, each holding a Bun.file
handle, spread into the route table AHEAD of the /plugins/* wildcard. So an
icon present at boot got an exact route that outlived the file, returning
ENOENT on every dock render with the error logged each time — exactly what the
wildcard's own comment says it exists to prevent. The comment covered the ADD
case; this is its mirror. `plugins/` is now excluded from the boot glob, so the
wildcard owns that prefix alone. Verified: 200 installed, 404 uninstalled, 200
reinstalled.

[open] A plugin's icon cannot be seen BEFORE installing it, which is the one
place an app store most wants to — assets are published at install by design,
and an authenticated icon route is no use to an <img>.

pastilhas e11e0b6475 one port announcement instead of sixteen, so a plugin can name itself
protocol.ts declared a separate SidecarEvent member per sidecar — music, vault,
slskd, headscale, transmission, invoiceshelf, jellyfin, photos, memos, gitea,
caldav, wallet, pty, email, notify, opencode — each an identical one-liner. Two
of them were for plugins that had already left the repository, which is the
tell: the platform was declaring event types on behalf of code it no longer
contains.

The cost was that a plugin could not announce its own port. `connection.send`
takes a SidecarEvent, so `{ type: 'notes:server', port }` did not typecheck
until someone added a line to the platform. A third-party plugin needed a pull
request against Officer before its sidecar would compile — for the one message
every HTTP sidecar has to send.

Now:

  export type SidecarPortAnnouncement = { type: `${string}:server`; port: number };

Nothing was lost at the point of use. The only consumer is
`sidecar.on(`${name}:server`, …)` in create-proxy.ts, which already cast to
read `.port`, because a handler typed `(event: SidecarEvent) => void` cannot
narrow from a computed template string.

The proof is a test that already existed: create-proxy.test.ts announces
`testcar:server` — a name never in the union — and now compiles without its
`as never`.

Removing the two casts that escaped the old type found something else. They
were not hiding union membership, they were hiding `port: number | undefined`:
Bun types Server.port as optional because a unix-socket server has none. So
`as SidecarEvent` on the whole object was suppressing a real nullability
warning, and would have suppressed a genuinely wrong event shape too. Replaced
with a narrow assertion on the port alone. Two further `as SidecarEvent` casts
in the same file turned out to be unnecessary altogether and are gone.

[open] The typo check is genuinely gone: a sidecar sending `muzik:server` while
its proxy listens for `music:server` now compiles, and the symptom is every
request answering 503 forever. The fix is not to restore the list — it is for
createSidecarConnector to announce the port itself from the `name` it already
holds, so the string is written once and the typo becomes unrepresentable.
Recorded in protocol.ts.

Verified live: officer and officer-music restarted, `[music] sidecar registered
on port 38803`, /api/music/manifest and /api/offscale/_health both 200.

pastilhas 0a55964db5 the player moves to the plugin, and src/ has no music code left
officerdev/src/MusicPlayer/ → plugins/music/web/. Engine, state, bar,
favourites, lyrics toggle and the library vocabulary — ten files. The barrel
stops exporting a player it no longer has, and DashboardLayout stops rendering
one.

The reasoning that kept it was removed rather than refuted. It stayed because
the dashboard widget imported useMusicPlayer from officerdev and the platform
cannot import from a plugin, so the state had to stay whatever was decided
about the UI. The owner moved the widget into the plugin in the previous
commit, and the constraint went with it: the whole remaining dependency became
one line, DashboardLayout.tsx:66.

MusicPlayerHost is mounted inside the MusicDetail panel. That reads odd until
you notice it already returned null on /music — the mini bar is the transport
there, and the host existed purely to own the GaplessEngine. In the panel it
does exactly that, and the bar code stays intact for whenever there is a slot.

[phase 2] Leaving /music unmounts the host and playback stops. Deferred on the
owner's call; the bar was "navigating away must not break the application", and
that holds: seekPlayer is optional-chained so a call with no host registered is
a no-op, registerPlayerSeek clears only its own registration, the host's
cleanup destroys the engine and nulls its ref, and the queue is global state so
returning to /music remounts and reloads. Solving it properly needs either a
shell slot a plugin can contribute to — which reopens "there is no way to
export a component" — or the engine hoisted to module scope, which keeps the
rule and loses only the off-route controls.

Also: the parked widget now imports the player as a sibling rather than through
officerdev, and shared.ts stopped being a re-export shim now that the real file
is in the plugin.

Verified: tsgo clean, 797 tests / 787 pass / same 7. Server restarts, mounts
/example /music /offscale, / and /music both 200, and the player is in the
built bundle (music.volume, music:lyrics, now-playing?device=web all present —
GaplessEngine is a class name and the production build is minified, so grepping
for it proves nothing).

Not verified by me: what it looks like in a browser. That needs your eyes.

pastilhas f1bd75853d the music widget moves into the plugin, parked like cliamp
src/workspaces/widgets/MusicPlayer/ → plugins/music/widgets/, its export
dropped from the widgets package, and its registration removed from
WidgetRegistry. Plugins cannot contribute widgets and that mechanism is not
being invented now, so it is parked next to cliamp rather than left in a
workspace package the platform ships.

`../Widget` became `widgets/Widget` — the sibling import turned into that
package's declared export, which it already had.

This removes the last non-plugin consumer of officerdev/src/MusicPlayer, and
that matters more than the move. The argument for keeping the player in the
platform was that the widget imported useMusicPlayer and PlayerTrack from
officerdev, and the platform cannot import from a plugin — so the player STATE
had to stay whatever was decided about the UI, and the engine stayed with the
state.

That constraint is now gone. The complete remaining platform dependency on the
player is one line: DashboardLayout.tsx:66, `<MusicPlayerHost />`.

So the seam is no longer "the widget pins it". It is purely the global overlay
question, which is a platform gap about plugins owning a render slot outside
<Routes> — the same shape as plugins owning a websocket. Recorded rather than
acted on; the decision is the owner's and the previous reasoning for it no
longer holds.

pastilhas 9af52fd754 db:push regenerates the plugin schema barrel, so setup works on a clean machine
`officer_db/src/schema.ts` ends with an UNCONDITIONAL
`export * from './plugin-schemas.gen'`. That file is gitignored — it describes
this machine, not the project — and until now its only writer was
installPlugin.

So on a fresh clone the file does not exist and `bun db:push` dies with
MODULE_NOT_FOUND before creating a single table. That is exactly what
officer-setup.sh section 8 runs, so setup failed at the schema step on any
clean machine, and the only thing that would have written the file was
installing a plugin — which needs a working database. A deadlock, shipped with
the plugin system on 2026-08-15.

Reproduced by deleting the file and running push, not inferred.

`db:push` now runs scripts/gen-plugin-schemas.ts first. Wired into the script
rather than added as a setup step because setup is not the only caller:
pushSchema() shells out to the same command, a developer types it by hand, and
`git clean -xfd` removes the file at any time. A step someone has to remember
is one they forget once; push regenerating it means the barrel cannot be stale
when drizzle reads it.

Both paths verified: barrel deleted then push (regenerates, "No changes
detected"), and zero plugins on disk (writes a header-only barrel that
schema.ts still imports cleanly).

Also verified, on a scratch database, the premise the whole barrel design rests
on — that push drops what it cannot see. Full schema pushed, a row seeded into
music_favorites, then an empty barrel pushed: music_* and headscale_servers
were DROPPED along with the row. So "following the directory rather than the
install table" is load-bearing, not decorative.

Worth recording how close that came to being logged as the opposite. An earlier
run with an empty barrel reported "No changes detected", which read as evidence
that push does not drop. It was this fix working — the script had regenerated
the barrel before drizzle ran. The scratch database is what told them apart.

bunx tsgo clean. 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7 pre-existing failures. Scratch
database dropped; live plugin tables and rows verified intact.

pastilhas 1e79b4effd revert prettier churn on four files the cliamp move never touched
I ran `bunx prettier --write` over whole directories instead of the files I
edited, so FileViewContainer, SelectionActions, usePipelineRunner and Providers
got rewrapped into a diff about cliamp. Pure whitespace, zero behaviour, and
exactly what CLAUDE.md warns about — unexplained churn in someone else's file.

Worth noting what it revealed rather than just undoing it: those four were not
prettier-clean to begin with, so `bun format` on a clean tree would rewrite
them too. That is a pre-existing inconsistency, not mine to fix in this commit.

pastilhas a9bf51407e cliamp moves into the plugin, and the platform loses its last music file
The owner read the code and asked why `plugins/music/api/router.ts` was three
lines importing `@@/api/music/router` — platform code that knows the string
'music'. He was right, and tracing it found the justification was hollow.

The chain: server.tsx:20 imported the cliamp relay's two exports, which are
used only on commented-out lines; so the relay's functions were never invoked;
so its call to getMusicServerWsUrl never ran; and the file's other export,
getMusicServerUrl, had no consumers at all. A dead import held a music-named
file in the platform, and I documented that as a "seam" last night after
checking the import existed and stopping there.

Everything cliamp now lives in plugins/music/cliamp/:

  sidecar/music/{cliamp-ws,pulse-audio}.ts, asoundrc, the test
  api/cliamp/relay.ts
  apps/FileBrowser/{CliampPanel,AudioStreamPlayer}.tsx

src/servers/sidecar/music/, src/servers/api/cliamp/ and src/servers/api/music/
are gone. server.tsx has no cliamp import, provider name, handler entry or
route. The platform contains no file named for music or cliamp.

Two of the things that moved were live, not inert.

The file browser's `Play` context-menu item, on any audio file or folder, set
?play= and rendered a cliamp terminal pointed at /api/cliamp/ws — a route that
upgraded into a handlers entry that was commented out, so handlers[provider]!
asserted non-null on undefined. Using that menu item crashed the socket
handler. Removed: the action, the layout, the panel wiring and both menu
entries. Verified the routes now 404 rather than crash.

That closed the totality drift as a side effect. server.tsx's route table and
its handlers map agree again for the first time since 2026-08-13, and
registry.test.ts now asserts it rather than pinning the hole.

The proxy is built in the plugin now, and its prefix is DERIVED. It was the
literal '/api/music', which the proxy uses to strip characters off the path —
correct only because mountPrefix returns /music for a first-party publisher.
The same plugin published by anyone else mounts at /api/p/<publisher>/music and
would have forwarded /alice/music/stream to a sidecar expecting /stream. A
latent bug only third parties would ever hit, and a quiet violation of the rule
that mountPrefix is the one function allowed to know about provenance. Offscale
has the identical hardcode and still needs it.

Still open there: appName is passed as a literal, because a plugin's router
cannot see its own directory name — the platform imports the module and reads
`router`, so there is nowhere to inject it. The fix is a factory the installer
calls with the plugin's identity.

Plugin backend coupling is down to 7 imports, all of them "a plugin talks to
its host": data-path, sidecar/connect, sidecar/protocol, officer-url, the
manifest type, officerdb/db and the users.id FK. Nothing music-shaped left.

pastilhas 8bfcd40bd2 music's library browser depends on another plugin's permission, not just its own
MusicBrowser lists folders with GET /file-browser/ls rather than through the
music sidecar. /file-browser belongs to `files`, which is `confined` — so a
member granted `music` and not `files` gets a working player, working
favourites and an empty library, and `files` is not a grant that can simply be
handed over, since authorize.ts drops a confined grant for an account with no
Linux user.

First cross-plugin PERMISSION dependency in the system, and a different animal
from offscale's. That one is ConsoleView → TerminalView: code, resolved at
build time, worst case a plugin that will not compile. This resolves at request
time, per account, and fails as a screen that renders perfectly and shows
nothing.

Three shapes written down, none chosen. Moving the listing into the sidecar is
probably right — it is the same rule offscale follows, that the sidecar absorbs
everything — but it is tomorrow's call.

Recorded now rather than trusted to memory: it was found by reading, after the
extraction was already verified and pushed, so nothing was going to surface it
again on its own.

pastilhas e930586878 plugins declare the host binaries they need, and the installer checks
Offscale was self-sufficient. Music is not — it shells out to ffmpeg and
ffprobe — and the way it fails without them is the reason this is a check
rather than a line in a README.

It does not fail. Missing ffprobe means the indexer catches the spawn error
and returns a track carrying its filename and nothing else: no title, artist,
album, duration or embedded lyrics. It then walks the whole library, writes a
complete cache tree and reports success. Five swallowed catches, no log, no
counter, and the only tell is coversSaved: 0 in a report nobody reads.

So `osDependencies` is a manifest field: the binary to probe on PATH, why it
is needed, and a package name per package manager. The shape is taken from
scripts/setup-old/setup.sh rather than invented — probe the binary, case on
$PM — and the names are per-manager rather than canonical-with-overrides
because lib/packages.sh already recorded why that indirection was rejected.
Probing the binary is what makes "built-in on this OS" free: on PATH means the
package map is never consulted.

Four decisions worth naming.

Missing and uninstallable REFUSES the install, first, before a table is
created or a row written — so there is nothing to undo, and the alternative is
a plugin that installs, answers 200 and quietly produces nothing.

The status is on GET /api/plugins and rendered before the button, because the
owner is deciding whether to let the server run a package manager as root and
that needs answering first. Installing by hand and watching it flip to present
is the escape hatch on a machine without passwordless sudo.

Package names get a deliberately narrow regex and reach Bun.spawn as an argv
ARRAY, never a shell. Both halves are load-bearing: the regex means a
metacharacter cannot get there, argv means it would be an argument rather than
syntax if it did. Narrower than package managers actually accept — no `:`, no
`+` version pins — because a plugin needing one wants a conversation.

Success is OBSERVED, not inferred: after installing, the binaries are re-probed.
A package manager exiting 0 having installed something that does not provide
the binary is exactly the failure this exists to catch.

installCommand mirrors lib/packages.sh's pkg_install_now exactly, including
apt's non-interactive environment, so there is one definition of "install a
package" rather than two that drift. sudo always gets -n: under PM2 a password
prompt is not a slow path, it is a hang. brew never escalates.

Verified live. ffmpeg and ffprobe were absent on this machine all evening; the
page showed both missing with the exact root command, the install streamed
`dependencies: installing ffmpeg with apt` then `ffprobe, ffmpeg now on PATH`,
and X-Audio-Duration appeared on a stream response for the first time. The
refusal path was exercised against a temporary probe dependency: HTTP 400,
steps: [], reason named.

THIS CHANGED THE MACHINE: ffmpeg 6.1.1-3ubuntu5 is now installed via apt.

Found on the way: a manifest is read once per process. Discovery does
`await import()` and the module cache holds it, so editing a manifest changes
nothing until pm2 restart officer — including `outdated`. Cost ten minutes and
is now in the runbook.

pastilhas 05eb947bd1 music is verified on the live server, and the runbook learns from it
Ran the whole table against platform.officer.dev rather than reasoning about
it. install / API / range requests / dock / permissions / disable / enable /
uninstall / db:push-while-uninstalled / reinstall / pm2 restart officer — all
pass, recorded in plugins/music/PLUGIN.md with the actual numbers.

Two results worth naming. The reinstall was a RESTORE: a favourite and a
playlist seeded before uninstall came back untouched, which is the whole point
of the barrel following directories rather than the install table. And
`bun db:push` while uninstalled said `No changes detected` with the rows still
there — the property that makes running push by hand safe at any moment.

Range survives the proxy hop: 206 with a correct Content-Range and exactly the
bytes asked for, 416 unsatisfiable, 400 on a path escaping the Music root.

Two findings from the machine rather than the code. ffmpeg and ffprobe are not
installed here, so X-Audio-Duration never appears and indexing would produce no
tags or covers — the manifest already says a host binary cannot be declared, and
now says it was checked. And ~/Music did not exist at all, so the library is
empty; the sidecar handles both absences and logs them rather than failing.

Music is left INSTALLED and enabled. It had been switched off since 2026-08-13,
so this restores it.

The runbook gains what generalises: map what the PLATFORM still needs from your
feature before planning the split, because two imports pointing the wrong way
dictated music's boundary rather than any judgement about what music is.
Offscale had none, which made the job look cleaner than it is. Also two new
traps — delete the app-store catalogue entry or the screen goes blank, and
compare test FILE COUNTS across a run, since that is the only thing that shows
a test which stopped being discovered.

The global-overlay question is recorded as answered: no. A shell slot for a
plugin-provided component reopens "there is no way to export a component", and
that rule is what the frontend contract rests on.

Seeded rows and the audio fixture removed; ~/Music deleted again.

pastilhas de3340398c music becomes a plugin, and the player stays behind
The whole of music moves to plugins/music/: the sidecar (index, indexer,
stream-audio, nightly-reindex), the four Postgres tables and their queries,
the /music workspace panels, MUSIC_API.md and the reindex CLI. The platform
keeps no music routes, no music capability entry, no music screen and no
music schema.

Three things stayed, each on purpose.

cliamp and the widget were out of scope by the owner's decision. The plugin's
sidecar still serves the two cliamp sockets, so it imports cliamp-ws.ts and
pulse-audio.ts from @@/sidecar/music/ — the files stay where they were.

The player did not move, and that was the open judgement call. Deciding it
took one fact: the dashboard widget imports useMusicPlayer and PlayerTrack
from officerdev, and the platform cannot import from a plugin. So the player
STATE stays whatever is decided about the UI around it, and two copies would
mean two audio engines. Given that, the engine and the bar stayed with the
state rather than being split from the thing they drive. Moving them would
also have needed a shell slot rendering a plugin-provided component on every
route — the one escape hatch this system deleted on purpose. MusicPlayerHost
gates on can('music'), which is now the plugin's permission, so the seam
switches itself off with the plugin.

api/music/router.ts stays too: api/cliamp/relay.ts imports getMusicServerWsUrl
from it. The plugin's api/router.ts re-exports that proxy rather than building
a second one — two subscribers to the one-shot music:server port announcement
would work today and 503 on the first reconnect where only one was listening.

Two bugs found on the way, neither visible from reading.

The app-store catalogue still listed music. Availability is derived from
sidecar_installs and a PLUGIN never gets a row there, so `music` would have
been permanently unavailable — which puts /music into deniedRoutes and blanks
the screen on a server where the plugin was installed and healthy. Exactly
the headscale bug documented six lines above it in the same file, and it would
have fired on the first install. Entry removed.

[test] root was "./src", so moving lyrics.test.ts into plugins/ stopped it
running and said nothing — the count fell by nine and the suite still read
green. Root is now the repo. Positional filters cannot fix this: `bun test
plugins` matches under root and finds src/servers/plugins/ instead.

registry.test.ts tested the `personal` mechanism THROUGH the music capability.
Re-anchored on a fixture rather than on another entry, because borrowing a
feature only moves the problem to the next extraction — and three of those
four tests had been passing for the wrong reason since music's api was
commented out on 2026-08-13, when everything started resolving to "refused
because nothing is claimed". The cliamp sockets being claimed by nothing is
now pinned by a test instead of being rediscovered.

music's `personal` paths ride across on readOnlyWrites, the one field a
manifest has. isRequestAllowedAtLevel concatenates the two lists, so a read
grant permits exactly the four paths it permitted yesterday, and no field was
added to the manifest to design a per-user model that is not this work.

bunx tsgo clean. 772 tests, 762 pass, 7 fail — all seven pre-existing and
unrelated (cliamp, pty, and five capability tests that other switched-off
plugins break). Baseline was 757/10; the three that went green are the ones
re-anchored above.

Not yet verified on the live server — that is next.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 18c4ebd0b4 the per-user model is not tonight's work either
personal, the four user-scoped tables, and what a member's grant means all stay
exactly as they are. it gets built inside the plugin later, which is the entire
reason the platform's answer is a uniform read/write and nothing more.

leaving it alone is safe rather than lazy: the web frontend does not use those
routes at all — favourites, playlists and now-playing are used only by the phone
and tablet apps — so nothing visible in a browser can regress by carrying them
across verbatim. and /queue, which is in that list, has no route anywhere. dead
or aspirational; carried as-is, not investigated.

the one unavoidable consequence stays named: registry.test.ts tests the personal
mechanism through the music entry, so removing it breaks those tests. re-anchor
on another entry that has personal. a test fix, not a redesign.

with cliamp and the widget both cut, exactly one judgement is left in the music
extraction: whether the global MusicPlayerHost overlay gets a contribution slot
in the shell or stays in DashboardLayout gated as it already is. either is fine.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b5db3c47e1 cliamp is out of scope, which unblocks the music extraction
the two websocket providers exist for one thing: running the cliamp TUI on the
server and piping its terminal and audio to the browser, via a pulseaudio null
sink tapped by parec. a second, separate playback path — and the least important
part of music. wanted eventually, not tonight.

that removes the hardest of the three homeless parts entirely. no plugin can own
a socket yet, and now none needs to: both sockets are already inert, and
cliamp-ws.ts, pulse-audio.ts, asoundrc, the relay and the two providers all stay
exactly where they are. if the relay's import is the only thing keeping
api/music/router.ts alive, that stays too — a small documented seam.

what music actually is: the /music screen, the library, and the phone and tablet
apps that stream from it. that is what has to work.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8545b427dd the runbook tells the next agent to decide, not to ask
it previously said 'decide before moving a file, and tell me the decision',
which turns an overnight run into a blocked one. every open call here has two
defensible answers, a corrected decision is cheap, and a stalled extraction is
not.

adds a default for each of the three homeless parts — close the platform gap
when there is runway, because every later plugin needs it too, but a working
music with cliamp left in the platform beats a perfect design that did not land.
the bar at the end is unchanged: install, enable, disable, uninstall cleanly. a

plugins/EXTRACTING-A-PLUGIN.md: the rules that are not preferences, the order
that worked, the verification cycle the owner actually ran, and the traps that
each cost real time.

the music section is the important half. music is NOT a bigger offscale — three
of its parts have nowhere to go: two websocket providers (and no plugin can own
a socket), a global UI overlay rendered by DashboardLayout on every route, and a
dashboard widget in a third workspace package. its relay is platform code that
imports the music router, so deleting that router breaks the platform. it also
needs six external binaries a manifest cannot declare, ships a non-TS asset, and
is the worked example the capability tests are written through.

recorded before starting rather than discovered halfway, because a half-extracted
music is worse than an unextracted one.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b4dab16d2a the schema barrel stops describing a world that ended
three things wrong in one paragraph: it named ecosystem.light.config.cjs, which
no longer exists; it called officer-headscale core, which it stopped being on
2026-08-14; and it said installing a plugin 'will have to uncomment its line and
push, and building that is still ahead of us', which was built yesterday.

now it says what is true — a plugin owns its schema at plugins/<name>/db and
install generates the barrel and pushes — and keeps the commented lines for the
sidecars still waiting their turn, which is what they are actually for.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 585c046a64 the plugin system says permissions, not the other word
i named the field permissions and then narrated in the overloaded one anyway,
which is worse than either — the whole reason for the rename was that the word
already means three things here.

renamed what was mine: setPluginCapabilities -> setPluginPermissions,
pluginCapabilities -> pluginPermissions, and the prose throughout.

what remains is the platform's own vocabulary, not the plugin system's: the
 type it imports, and the  field on a dock manifest,
which is the shape the shell already renders. renaming those is a separate
change to a separate system and is the owner's to make.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8cc51cfb40 every plugin permission is grantable, and there is no field to say otherwise
offscale was missing from the permissions page because it declared ownerOnly,
which mapped to kind admin, and admin capabilities are never offered for
granting. correct by the old rule and wrong by the standard: every plugin
follows the same platform-level permission model, appearing on the same page
with the same read/write/none per role.

so the field is gone rather than flipped. a plugin has no way to say owner-only,
which makes the standard structural instead of remembered — the same move as the
workspace rule. core, execution, confined and admin stay the platform's to
assign and a plugin cannot name any of them, so the escalation question is
removed rather than answered.

this is the second draft of this decision to be deleted: first a full
CapabilityKind with three of five values forbidden, then an ownerOnly boolean,
now nothing. the doc records all three so the reasoning is visible rather than
just the conclusion.

finer visibility stays the plugin's job. offscale is the worked example of the
gap that leaves and its manifest says so: it is grantable now, and its queries
still scope by the caller, so a granted member would see their own empty server
list rather than the owner's. closing that is a change inside the plugin.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8b6cb34ae0 plugins contribute dock tiles, and the doc says what is actually built
offscale had no dock tile: that field comes from the app store's catalogue, so a
plugin installed through the plugin system was reachable only by typing its url
or following the link on /plugins.

built at runtime rather than baked into the generated bundle, deliberately —
WHO sees a tile is a permission question, and a grant takes effect on the next
request rather than the next build. presentation comes from the manifest and the
route from mountPrefix, so there is one source for both, and  is the
plugin's first permission so the endpoint can filter a tile out for an account
that cannot reach the screen.

two sources for tiles today, because the app store still has its own catalogue.
one when it is rebuilt on this.

the doc now records the system as complete rather than half-stubbed, including
the three bugs the extraction found — the sidecar-before-mount ordering, the
missing tailwind, and the build that could delete its own shell — and what is
genuinely still open.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 8587ae20b7 a plugin creates its own tables, and uninstalling never drops them
the last unwired step. install now generates a drizzle barrel of plugin schemas
and runs db:push, so a plugin with db/schema.ts brings its tables with it.

the barrel follows the plugin DIRECTORIES on disk, not the install table, and
that difference is the entire safety property. push drops what it cannot see, so
a barrel tracking installs would delete a plugin's tables the moment it was
uninstalled — turning "stop running this" into "delete my data", which is the
one thing the install model refuses to do. following the directory means:

  directory present, not installed   in the barrel, tables exist unused
  installed                          in the barrel, tables in use
  uninstalled                        STILL in the barrel, every row survives
  directory deleted                  out of the barrel, a push may drop them

so reinstall is a restore, and losing data requires deliberately deleting a
plugin's source.

proved end to end rather than argued. with offscale uninstalled and its entry
removed from the barrel, db:push DROPPED headscale_servers. installing it
recreated the table in 1882ms — columns, both unique indexes including the
partial one that enforces a single active server, and the fk. a canary row then
survived an uninstall AND a subsequent manual db:push, which reported "No
changes detected".

it shells out to the same `bun db:push` a human runs rather than driving
drizzle-kit in-process: one definition of applying the schema instead of two
that can disagree, and an owner can reproduce exactly what an install did.
--force because the barrel only ever gains entries unless source is deleted, and
a prompt with no terminal would hang an install rather than fail it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e13128846b offscale is a plugin
headscale leaves the platform. 45 files move to plugins/offscale/ and the
platform stops knowing it exists.

  api/router.ts   the thin auth-gated proxy, now at /api/offscale
  sidecar/        18 files, the whole headscale contract and its admin keys
  db/             schema + queries, offscale_servers
  web/            26 files as panels and a layout — no screen, per the rule

removed from the platform: the hono mount, the `headscale` capability, the
App.tsx route pair, the screen and its barrel, the AppRegistry spread, the
officerdev re-exports, the dock tile, the page-title rule, and both database
barrels. tsgo is clean and nothing references it.

the imports tell the story of what the plugin↔host API actually is. the sidecar
takes @@/sidecar/protocol, @@/sidecar/connect, @@/data-path and
@@/officer-url.mjs; the queries take officerdb/db and officerdb/crypto; the
schema takes officerdb/auth/schema for the one reference a plugin may make; the
web half takes useClient, copyToClipboard, WorkspaceView and TerminalView from
the officerdev barrel. all of it resolves because a plugin lives inside the repo
— no publishing, no version negotiation.

AND IT FOUND A REAL BUG IN THE INSTALLER. createSidecarProxy learns its port
from a one-shot `<name>:server` event and subscribes when the plugin's router is
first imported — at mount. install started the sidecar BEFORE mounting, so the
announcement fired into a void: process online, routes mounted, every request
answering `503 sidecar not available` until something forced a reconnect. it
would have hit every plugin with an http sidecar. `example` never caught it
because it has no listener to announce.

install and enable now mount before starting; disable still unmounts before
stopping. neither direction leaves a mounted route in front of a sidecar that
cannot be reached.

verified live: /api/offscale/_officer/servers answers {"servers":[]}, /offscale
and /offscale/nodes serve, the old /api/headscale is 404, the offscale
capability is registered from the manifest, and officer-offscale is online.

shown only while installed AND enabled, and only when the plugin has a frontend

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 543e88a9a6 every plugin route renders a workspace, and it is not a rule you can forget
an exclusionary rule, made structural. a plugin does not render a screen: it
contributes panels and says how they are arranged, and the shell renders
WorkspaceView around them.

    web/panels.ts   appRegistryMetas — at least one panel
    web/layout.ts   defaultLayout — how they are arranged

both required the moment web/ exists, and missing either is refused at discovery
by name and with the reason. tested:

    probeplug: has a web/ directory but is missing web/layout.ts.
    Every plugin route renders a Workspace: contribute panels and a layout,
    not a screen.

there is deliberately no way to export a component. one that could would be free
to render a bare div, a full-page form, or its own navigation, and the platform
would become a shell hosting strangers' layouts rather than one application.
non-compliance is not so much refused as unrepresentable — there is nowhere to
put a screen.

the shell registers <prefix> and <prefix>/:section, exactly as the core screens
do, so a plugin's sections stay addressable and cmd-clickable, and panels read
useParams independently rather than passing state between themselves.
appTypes.allowed is pinned to that plugin's own keys, so a persisted layout
naming something else falls back instead of rendering another plugin's panel
inside this screen.

the example plugin is rebuilt to model it — two panels, a layout, one of them
calling its own /api/example/ping through useClient — because the reference
implementation is what everyone copies.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2e3c935da6 the built SPA had no tailwind, and the build could destroy itself
three fixes to last night's build switch, all found by using it.

THE CSS. bunfig.toml declares the tailwind plugin under [serve.static], which
applies to bun's static SERVING — the html-import path the app used until
yesterday — and not to a programmatic Bun.build(). so the first build emitted
the xterm css and no tailwind at all: layout intact, every utility class
missing. a plugin list is not inherited from bunfig; it has to be passed. css
goes 110KB to 278KB, 1127 --tw- variables, .flex present, --color-duck present.

THE BUILD DIRECTORY. clearing it before building was meant to stop 20MB of
content-hashed chunks accumulating per install, and instead meant a FAILED build
left nothing — the exact opposite of the promise in the comment directly above
it. it was also a race: two builds overlapping had one process's rm delete the
other's shell, leaving js and css with no html and a 503 that read as a build
failure when the build had succeeded.

now it builds into build.next/ and swaps only a complete, successful build into
place, and refuses to swap one that produced no shell at all — a build can
report success and emit no html, and serving that is worse than serving the
previous one.

AND IT SAYS WHICH PATH IS SERVING. "is it serving the build I just made, or the
one bundled at import?" was answerable only by hiding the shell and watching for
a 503, which is how it got answered once. the distinction matters precisely
where it is hardest to see: the html import is fixed when the module graph
loads, so an install would rebuild build/ and serve something else entirely.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7b4137ccca a plugin's frontend, generated and rebuilt without a restart
the last piece. installing a plugin now brings its UI with it.

a bundler cannot follow import(runtimeString), so which plugins have a frontend
cannot be answered from the database at render time — it has to be written into
source first. Plugins.gen.tsx is that file: concrete imports, generated from
what is installed, gitignored because it describes THIS machine.

App.tsx keeps its core routes and gains one map. the wildcard hands the whole
subtree to the plugin's own router, which react-router nests natively.

serving moved to build/ in production. the html import is bundled once when the
module graph loads and can never change after, which is precisely why a plugin's
frontend needed a restart; Bun.build measures ~900ms for a 25MB bundle, so an
install can just rebuild. development keeps the html import, because that is
what gives HMR and bun --watch restarts on every source change anyway.

verified end to end against a running server, no restart at any point: install
regenerated the module, rebuilt the bundle (chunk hash changed), and the
plugin's own markup was in it; /example and /example/deeper both served; disable
took it back out of both the module and the bundle and 404'd the api; enable put
it back.

three things worth recording because they were found rather than reasoned:

the shell output is named after the ENTRYPOINT — index.gen.html, not index.html
— and naming: { entry: '[name].[ext]' } does not change it because [name] is
'index.gen'. found as a 503 on the first boot after the switch.

App.tsx already destructured a `plugins`, from useServerSettings — the DEAD
plugin system that scans a directory which does not exist and always returns [].
it silently shadowed the import. the new one is `installedPlugins` and says why.

seedAppRegistry takes plugin panels as an argument rather than importing them:
officerdev is a dependency of the shell, so importing upward would invert that.

756 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a00116b2c0 a plugin's permissions become real capabilities, and survive a restart
two gaps between "a plugin can mount routes" and "a plugin is part of the
platform". both closed.

FIRST: nothing registered a plugin's declared permissions, so the capability
gate could not resolve a plugin path at all. it resolved to null, and null is
denied — the owner never noticed because isSuperAdmin short-circuits every
check, which is exactly the shape of bug that reaches a member first.

the registry is now rebuildable the same way the hono app is: CORE_REGISTRY
holds the platform's own, CAPABILITIES is core plus whatever the installed
plugins declare, and setPluginCapabilities replaces the plugin half wholesale
rather than diffing it. two invariants hold by construction — DEFAULT_ROLE_-
CAPABILITIES and CORE_CAPABILITIES derive from CORE_REGISTRY, so a plugin can
never put itself in the fresh-install baseline and can never become `core`
(every account, undeniable). a key colliding with a core one is refused and
logged, because a plugin able to redefine `chat` could widen it.

ownerOnly maps to admin, everything else to app. those are the only kinds a
manifest can express, and it has no field for a kind at all.

capabilities are registered BEFORE routes are mounted: the gate runs ahead of
every router, so mounting a route whose permission is not yet registered would
403 the freshly installed plugin until something else happened to refresh.

SECOND: nothing mounted plugins at boot. honoServer is built with none at
import, because discovery reads disk and database and neither can be awaited at
module scope, and every install verb rebuilt — so it tested perfectly and would
have silently unmounted everything on the first restart.

server.tsx now refreshes before serve(), so there is no window where an
installed plugin 404s, and a plugin that will not load is logged rather than
fatal.

verified: after a restart, [plugins] mounted /example, the row survived,
officer-example came back online from its ecosystem entry, capabilityForApiPath
resolves /api/example/ping to the example capability at kind=app, and it appears
in the owner's grantable list. 756 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

the comment called it cosmetic and worth being honest about, which reads like an
apology and invites the next reader to delete it as a pointless sleep.

the real reason is better. some of this work is genuinely slow — pm2 start

steps land in one frame, the log jumps from empty to finished, and you cannot
tell 'it worked' from 'nothing happened'. the interval is what makes a step
something you saw happen rather than something you found already done.

only applied when something is listening, so the json path still runs flat out.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4d4606d4a2 close the owner's dotfiles once somebody else has a shell
ubuntu's default umask is 002 with user-private groups, so everything the owner
creates lands 775/664. alone on a machine that is harmless. it stops being
harmless the moment a member has a login — and member homes are NESTED inside
the owner's, so the owner's home must stay traversable AND readable (the
ancestor-read requirement bun exposed today) and every dotfile in it is legible
by default.

measured as green before writing this: ~/.pm2/logs (all 12 files, every log the
platform has written), ~/.pm2/dump.pm2, ~/.claude/projects (names every
directory the owner works in), ~/.config, ~/.local, ~/.cache, ~/.npm, ~/.bun,
~/.opencode — all listable. assertSecretsClosed was already holding the line
that matters: .env, .ssh, .zsh_history, .claude.json and the credentials are
denied, and dump.pm2 turned out to hold no secret values because bun loads .env
at runtime rather than through pm2.

so this is the tier below fatal: not tokens, but logs and the shape of the
owner's work.

it runs from PROVISIONING, not from setup, and that is the point. ~/.claude does
not exist until the agent has run once; a chmod at install time finds half the
list missing and silently does nothing — the same failure mode as the ACL mask
earlier today. every member's arrival re-closes whatever appeared since.

two directories are left open on purpose, and both are the same latent bug:

    /usr/local/bin/bun -> /home/pastilhas/.bun/bin/bun
    /usr/local/bin/gh  -> /home/pastilhas/.local/bin/gh

system-wide tools installed into one user's home, so every member resolves them
through it. i found this by closing them and breaking bun and gh for green.
~/.local/share and ~/.local/state ARE closed; only the bin directory is
reachable. the honest fix is installing them outside the owner's home.

verified both directions on this host: green is denied .claude, .pm2, .config,
.local/share, .local/state, .cache — and still has working bun, gh, psql, their
own claude, and their own project tree.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a220342b22 stream the install, so it reads like a log instead of a spinner
each verb now reports its steps as they complete, over server-sent events, and
the detail panel renders them arriving.

POST rather than GET, so EventSource is unavailable — it sends no Authorization
header and these routes are owner-only. The client reads the body and parses
frames by hand, which is what useCompanionLogStream already does for the
headscale container logs; the parser only has to understand what our own
endpoint emits.

the runner does not know whether anyone is listening. it takes an optional
onStep and calls it, so the non-streaming path is the same code with no callback
rather than a second implementation of the same four verbs.

there is a 220ms beat between steps and it is cosmetic — worth saying out loud.
pm2 start genuinely takes ~770ms, measured, but writing a row and rebuilding the
router do not, and four lines landing in one frame look like a stall followed by
a jump. small enough not to matter to a script, long enough to follow.

writing to a closed stream is caught rather than fatal: navigating away
mid-install must not abort the install, because by then it is the server's work
and half an install is the one outcome the ordering was designed to avoid.

verified over the wire with timestamps — frames arrive incrementally, the
sidecar step showing its real duration rather than the beat. afterwards pm2
holds the five core apps, plugin_installs is zero, and ecosystem.config.cjs is
byte-identical.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 02e049cae8 terminal: stop replaying questions, stop opening two sockets, bind the word keys
three separate faults behind "reconnecting gets weird and the keyboard is not
natural".

── the replay typed into the shell ──

the pty buffer was stored raw and replayed verbatim on every re-attach. anything
in it that ASKS the terminal a question — DSR, DA, DECRQM, XTVERSION, XTGETTCAP,
the OSC colour queries — got asked again, and xterm answered correctly by writing
the reply to its input. the pty receives that as a keystroke nobody typed.

stripped on the way IN, since the buffer is the thing that gets replayed and a
live client already answered them once when they were legitimately asked. only
questions are removed; everything that draws is untouched. where a control shares
its final byte with one that draws, the parameter is enumerated rather than
wildcarded — CSI 18 t asks the window size, CSI 22 t pushes the title, and
stripping the second would change what a replay renders. 36 tests, both
directions, because both fail silently.

── two sockets on one session ──

handleClose armed a reconnect timer; handleVisibilityChange fired on tab focus
whenever readyState was CLOSED — which is exactly what a pending timer leaves.
both ran. every keystroke went twice, two replay frames fought over the screen,
and only one socket was ever cleaned up because __terminalCleanup is overwritten
by whichever connect ran last. connect() is now the single guard, and a stale
socket's close no longer speaks for the session.

── the keyboard ──

alt-arrow was dead for everyone: xterm.js 5 rewrote it into the ctrl-arrow
sequence, xterm.js 6 removed that rewrite and emits the honest ^[[1;3C/D
(verified — the string 1;3D does not appear anywhere in the 6.0 bundle). nothing
bound it. so it broke on a dependency bump, with no shell config changed.

bound in zsh rather than translated in the browser, deliberately: tmux.conf
claims M-Left/M-Right for pane switching, and a client-side rewrite would send
^[b to tmux and break it. the real sequence lets tmux handle it inside a session
and zsh outside.

ctrl-arrow was worse and more embarrassing: it worked for MEMBERS and not for the
OWNER. shell-skel/zshrc has had the bindings all along; the owner's .zshrc is
assembled in machine-setup and never got them. the owner had a strictly worse
shell than the accounts they provision. confirmed with `zsh -i -c bindkey`
before and after.

also: escape-time 10 in tmux.conf. the 500ms default delays every Alt chord and
every Escape, which is most of what "not natural" felt like.

applied to this host by hand — setup only runs at install. cmd+arrow is left
alone: xterm emits nothing for it, so there is no sequence to bind.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2634df7a04 the install runner: ecosystem entry, sidecar, row, mounts
closes the hole app-store/pm2.ts has carried since 2026-08-13 — "installing a
plugin has to append its entry here before starting it, that is the plugin
system's job and it is not built". this is that job, and it is why nothing in
the app-store catalogue installs end to end either.

verified against a running server with a sidecar in the tree:

  install    ecosystem added · sidecar started · recorded · mounted /example
             route 200, pm2 online
  disable    sidecar stopped · unmounted
             route 404, pm2 stopped
  enable     sidecar started · mounted
             route 200, pm2 online
  uninstall  record removed · unmounted · sidecar stopped, deleted, entry gone
             route 404, not in pm2, tables untouched

afterwards ecosystem.config.cjs is byte-identical to before, pm2 holds the same
five core apps, and plugin_installs is back to zero rows.

the ecosystem file is edited rather than regenerated: the core entries come from
officer-setup's shell array, so the platform does not know that list and a copy
here would be a second thing to drift. the header above module.exports is
preserved verbatim too — officer-setup's explains that bun auto-loads .env from
the working directory and that data-path derives the install root from its
PARENT, so a wrong cwd relocates the whole install rather than failing. losing
that to a plugin install would be a poor trade.

order is the design. bringing up goes outside-in, taking down goes inside-out,
so the worst intermediate state is "recorded but not running" — visible, and
fixed by a retry — never "running but forgotten", which nothing can see.

each verb returns what it actually did, in order, and the detail panel shows it.
an install that mounted routes but could not start a sidecar is a different
outcome from one that worked, and a spinner that stops cannot say which.

the schema push is still deliberately not wired, and the reason is now in the
code: db:push DROPS tables absent from the schema it is given, so an uninstall
that regenerated the barrel would delete a plugin's data as a side effect of
stopping it. offscale does not need it — headscale_servers already ships in the
platform schema.

720 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

the plugin system works end to end for a plugin with an api/router.ts, at
runtime, with no restart. what is wired, what is not (schema push, the sidecar's
pm2 entry, websocket providers, totality across plugin routes), and what was

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 98c400bf33 a /plugins screen to install, enable, disable and uninstall
the management surface for what the last commit made possible. two panels either
side of a selection that lives in ?selected= and is read by both independently,
so neither can be telling the other something stale — rows are real Links, not
buttons holding the name in a closure.

the detail panel shows what the tree declared (api, schema, sidecar, web),
because "installed and nothing happened" is otherwise a mystery, and it names
what uninstall does NOT do: neither disable nor uninstall deletes anything the
plugin stored, and the screen says so rather than leaving someone to guess
whether a button destroys their data.

a directory whose manifest will not parse is listed with its error rather than
skipped. a malformed plugin that simply does not appear is indistinguishable
from one nobody wrote.

`outdated` is surfaced as an Update button: the version on disk moving after an
install is the normal state on a developer's machine, and it should be visible
rather than inferred.

the four mutations are written out rather than generated in a loop — useMutation
is a hook, and a hook called from inside a helper is a rules-of-hooks violation
even when the call order happens to be stable. caught before it shipped.

verified against a running server: the spa builds (19.8 MB bundle containing the
new screen), / serves 200, /api/plugins answers authenticated and 401s without a
token. full suite 719 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures. live server and

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 282a64a637 plugins install, enable, disable and uninstall at runtime
the rest of the mechanism, and it works end to end. against a real server, with
no restart at any point:

  /api/example/ping BEFORE install   404
  AFTER install                      200  {"plugin":"example","ok":true}
  AFTER disable                      404
  AFTER enable                       200
  AFTER uninstall                    404
  core route throughout              200

plugin_installs is a new table rather than a reuse of sidecar_installs. that one
belongs to the app store's model, where installing means provisioning a
container or pointing at a remote instance, and it carries mode, compose_dir and
completed_steps to say so. a plugin install has none of those, and reusing it
would have meant a `mode` that lies about every plugin. the two models coexist
until the app store is rebuilt on this one.

the row is needed because presence is not installation: plugins live in the
repository, so a developer writing one has the directory there and has installed
nothing. the tree says what could run, the table says what does.

mount.ts joins the two and rebuilds. an install row whose directory has gone is
dropped from the snapshot rather than reported — but the row is left in the
database, because deleting it there would turn "somebody moved the checkout"
into silent data loss. a plugin whose router will not load stays unmounted and
says why, rather than taking the other nine down with it.

/api/plugins is owner-only in its own right, like /api/app-store, and its
capability guards the MANAGEMENT surface only — a plugin's own permissions come
from its manifest, so a member can hold one at read without being able to
install anything.

plugins/example is the reference implementation and is meant to be read: the
smallest thing that is still a real plugin, with the directory layout as its own
documentation.

not wired yet, and marked [open] in the router: the schema push and the
sidecar's pm2 entry. a plugin with db/schema.ts or sidecar/ needs both before it
works end to end.

full suite: 719 pass, same 10 pre-existing failures.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2e6c263751 the hono app is built, not assembled once
first piece of the plugin system: the platform can now be rebuilt with a
different set of plugins mounted, at runtime, without restarting.

hono cannot do this the obvious way. its default SmartRouter throws "Can not add
a route since the matcher is already built" the moment a route is added after
serving begins, RegExpRouter does the same, and hono has no api to REMOVE a
route at all — so uninstall was impossible even with TrieRouter, which does
allow adding. tested all four.

so nothing is added to a live app. buildHonoApp(plugins) constructs a fresh one
and honoServer is reassigned, which keeps the default fast router and makes
uninstall expressible. server.tsx now serves it through a closure rather than
the bound honoServer.fetch — that one line is the whole mechanism, since the
bound method would capture whichever app existed at serve() and every rebuild
would silently do nothing.

buildHonoApp is pure: everything it needs arrives as an argument, so an app for
a hypothetical plugin set can be built without a database, a filesystem or a
running server.

alongside it, discovery. plugins live at platform/plugins/<app-name>/ — inside
the repo, because bun links the workspace packages into the root node_modules
and that is what lets a plugin author write `import { useClient } from
'hooks/useClient'` with no publishing and no version negotiation. verified with
Bun.resolveSync from a directory there.

discovery is by convention and presence is the declaration: api/router.ts,
db/schema.ts, sidecar/index.ts, web/Router.tsx. the app name comes from the
directory, so it cannot disagree with where the code sits, and the sidecar
runtime comes from the extension — .mjs is node, .ts is bun — which is already
the rule here and cannot contradict the file it describes.

a broken plugin is collected, never thrown: one unreadable manifest must not
stop the boot or hide the nine beside it that are fine.

verified by booting the refactored server on a spare port — /api answers 200,
protected routes still 401. full suite: 719 pass, and the same 10 failures as
before this change (8 in capabilities, plus cliamp and pty), stash-verified
earlier as pre-existing.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b2349b5480 install the psql client, matching the server it talks to
there was no psql on this machine. the server runs in a container, so nothing
ever put a client on the host, and `docker exec officer-postgres psql` is the
owner's tool — a member has their own Postgres role and no access to the owner's
Docker socket.

the version is derived from PG_IMAGE rather than typed again, because the
pairing is load-bearing: pg_dump refuses a server newer than itself, and Ubuntu
24.04 ships client 16 against this 18 server. so the archive package is not
merely old, it is unusable for dumps. that is also why this sits beside the
server definition instead of in machine-setup's package list — one constant, one
place to bump.

PGDG added the same way docker.sh adds Docker's: key in its own file, one
sources.list.d entry, no add-apt-repository. non-fatal, and the exit status is
not the gate — apt can succeed while holding an older client back, so the check
is that psql is present AND is the major we asked for.

installed by hand on this host already: psql/pg_dump 18.6, verified as green
connecting with their own role.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0ae0a5dc58 music is where the richer permission model gets designed
offscale is deliberately the simple case — one shared resource, read or write.
music is the next extraction and the right place to build the in-plugin
visibility system, because it has real per-user data (favourites, playlists,
now-playing) on top of a real shared one (a single global library index). so
'whose is this row' has a non-uniform answer there, where offscale's is just
'the owner's'.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 acd51c969c the platform grants read or write; richer rules belong to the plugin
the platform's contract is what it already has: a role holds read or write on a
capability, stored in role_capabilities and enforced by the gate. anything
beyond — who sees whose rows, per-user isolation, record ownership, visibility
of any kind — is the plugin author's job, inside the plugin. the platform should
not grow machinery for it. a plugin knows what its data means; the platform only
knows whether this account got through the door.

offscale v1 uses that exactly. one shared resource: read sees what the owner
sees, write can change it including deleting a server the owner registered. that
is dangerous on purpose — the stored credential is a headscale admin key with no
read-only equivalent, so write is close to full control of the tailnet, and that
is the owner's call. expected use is read for most roles.

two consequences, both inside the plugin. the queries stop scoping by the caller
and resolve to the owner's id, leaving the per-user shape in the table unused as
the seam if isolation is ever wanted. and two POSTs are really reads —
/ssh-test probes and /policy/assist explicitly never saves — so they need
readOnlyWrites, or a read-level account finds a broken feature where a withheld
permission should be.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4c3682dae6 let a member read the two directories above their own home
`bun run` from anywhere inside a member's home died with

    error loading current directory
    error: An internal error occurred (CouldntReadCurrentDirectory)

before it looked at package.json, bun.lock or .git — all of which were present.

it is not walking up looking for a workspace root. it primes its resolver cache
by walking DOWN from / and opening every component of the cwd for READING:

    openat("/home/pastilhas/officerdev/")              = 6
    openat(".../officerdev/data/")                     = -1 EACCES
    openat(".../officerdev/data/<email>/")             = -1 EACCES

those two are 711 — traversable, not listable — which is enough to cd into a
home and not enough for a program that reads its ancestors. `getcwd` succeeds;
the ancestor read is what fails. `O_PATH` would need only `x`, so this is
arguably bun's bug, but it presents as a member's project being mysteriously
unbuildable and nothing here can fix it from the other side.

so DATA_PATH and the account dir now carry a named ACL entry per member. that
gives up the property the old comment named — a member can now `ls` DATA_PATH
and learn the other accounts' email addresses — and keeps everything that
matters: every home is still 700 and owned by its member, every platform
sibling still 700 and owned by the service user. verified as green: the account
list is visible, and email_accounts, another home, the repo .env, the owner's
ssh key, .pgpass and ~/.claude/.credentials.json are all still denied.

the mask is set explicitly to rx alongside the entry. chmod recomputes the mask
from the group bits, which for 711 is --x, so without that the next member's
provisioning would silently clamp every earlier member back to traverse-only.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 56bb383c6d a plugin installs with no questions unless it says otherwise
offscale needs none of the install fields the catalogue carries — no modes, no
existingFields, no configFields, no composeTemplate, no members. nothing to
provision, nothing to point at. install is put the code there, push the schema,
start the sidecar, swap the routes, and it is available.

configuration happens afterwards inside the app, which is already how headscale
works: a server is registered at runtime and lands in offscale_servers.

so no-questions is the default rather than offscale's special case, and the
prompting machinery gets designed against the first extracted plugin that
actually needs docker or a remote instance. part of why this was the right
pilot — it exercises mounting, schema and sidecar without install being a
variable at the same time.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 327783532e reach a member's transcripts by listing them, not just by reading them
yesterday's fix routed transcript CONTENT through the member's identity and
stopped there, on the strength of a comment in ChatIdentity saying enumeration
never needed it — "their directories are 775 and the platform holds an ACL
entry, so readdirSync and statSync have always worked".

there are no 775 directories on this path. claude creates ~/.claude/projects/
and every project group at mode 700, and a 700 directory clamps the ACL mask to
--- exactly as a 600 file does:

    user:officer:rwx    #effective:---
    mask::---

measured against a real member home:

    existsSync(projects)        -> true     (stat only needs traverse on .claude)
    readdirSync(projects)       -> EACCES
    existsSync(projects/<slug>) -> false
    statSync(<transcript>)      -> EACCES

existsSync answering false rather than throwing is why this was invisible: every
caller read it as "no such session". one root cause, three reported symptoms —
an empty conversation list, no title on a new chat, and a /chat/<id> deep link
that never restored the conversation. a fourth nobody had reported yet: delete
removed nothing and still answered ok, because unlink needs w+x on the group
directory too.

so enumeration goes through the same door as content, as ONE call rather than a
spawn per entry: listTranscriptsAs runs a single `find` as the member and
returns every transcript with its mtime, which readdir+stat could not do without
dozens of setpriv forks per request and a matching pile of auth.log lines. the
owner keeps a fork-free path — that process already IS the owner. removeAs does
the same for unlink, and readTailAs no longer stats a file it cannot stat.

summarizeTranscript now takes the mtime it is given instead of stat'ing again,
which is both the fix and one less syscall per file.

verified against jg@pertento.ai on this machine: 6 conversations listed with
titles from their first prompts, and a deep link by id alone loads 71 messages.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 9f903479ce websocket routes reload too, so nothing needs a restart
the last gap. six ws providers live in bun's route table rather than hono's, so
the app swap does not reach them — but server.reload({routes}) does, and in both
directions: refused before, connected after install, refused again after
uninstall, with core routes untouched throughout.

so a plugin can own a socket from the start, and no part of an install needs the
process restarted.

still untested: whether connections already open across a reload survive it.
that matters before an install is allowed to interrupt somebody's terminal.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 6ab838c77f mounting at runtime after all: rebuild the app and swap it
this went round twice — runtime dynamic, then generated-plus-restart on the
belief that hono could not mount after serving, then back once that was actually
tested. the doc keeps the route rather than just the destination.

tested: SmartRouter (hono's default) and RegExpRouter both throw 'Can not add a
route since the matcher is already built'. TrieRouter and PatternRouter accept
it. so runtime adding is possible but costs the fast matcher, and hono has no
remove-route api at all, which uninstall needs.

what solves both is not adding routes but rebuilding: construct a fresh app from
the current plugin set and reassign the variable. the fetch closure reads it per
request, so the reassignment is the swap — atomic, no dropped connections, no
server.reload, and the default SmartRouter is kept. verified 404 before install,
200 after, 404 again after uninstall, with core routes unaffected throughout.

the mechanical cost is one line: server.tsx:322 is '/api/*': honoServer.fetch, a
bound method evaluated once at serve(), and has to become a closure or the swap
does nothing.

websockets stay open: six providers live in bun's route table rather than
hono's, so a plugin owning a socket needs server.reload({routes}), untested.
offscale has none.

and totality stops being a boot check — buildApp() is now the single place
routes are mounted, so it is where the assertion belongs, refusing the swap
rather than refusing the boot.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 13437e0e48 mounting: generated then restart, reversing the call for runtime dynamic
this reverses the earlier decision for C (mount and unmount at runtime) and says
so rather than quietly overwriting it.

the requirement behind C was that the platform must not need to know a plugin in
advance. that is met either way: what it reads is a generated file listing the
installed routers, analogous to Plugins.tsx on the frontend — nothing hardcoded,
nothing read from a table at boot, the imports made concrete at install. C would
have bought only the absence of a restart.

and a restart is close to free here, because sidecars are pm2 peers rather than
children — a property that was fought for, since officer used to spawn the agent
and pm2's tree-kill took the owner's chat down on every restart. what a restart
costs is websockets, which reconnect, and in-memory session records, which
claude:list already recovers.

the happy consequence is that assertCapabilityTotality stays a boot check
instead of becoming a per-mount transaction. it does need to be fed the route
table rather than Object.keys(handlers) first — generated mounts widen that gap
rather than closing it, so that is a prerequisite and not a tidy-up beside it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7befaf032a the manifest holds only what the tree cannot say
lean it to identity facts and human choices: publisher, version, platform range,
the four presentation fields, and permissions. everything structural becomes
convention, where presence is the declaration — sidecar/, api/router.ts,
db/schema.ts, web/Router.tsx, web/panels.ts. appName comes from the directory
name, so the id cannot disagree with where the code sits.

the dock tile and page title needed no fields at all: the tile is label + icon +
color + mountPrefix, and the title is label. writing them again was duplication
that could only drift.

runtime is the file extension. index.mjs is node, index.ts is bun — implicit,
but already the rule here, since officer-pty runs under node for node-pty's abi
and everything else is bun. better than a field that can contradict the file.

dependsOn is gone; nothing read it.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 1292a5c5ab opencode is owner-only until it carries an identity
a turn on the opencode harness ran as the owner, in the owner's home, whoever
asked. handleOpenCodeChat resolves its cwd against getOwnerHomeDir(email), which
discards the email it is given, and the sidecar runs one shared `opencode serve`
as the service user — sendOpenCodeStreaming accepts userId/email/username and
forwards none of them. it carried a comment calling itself owner-only; nothing
enforced it.

reachable by any account with the `chat` grant, which every role holds by
default (DEFAULT_ROLE_CAPABILITIES), and isClaudeModel is a startsWith, so a
typo'd model string landed there too. the model is client-supplied and never
checked against the catalogue.

the same gap on the read side: opencode's session store has no per-user scoping
at all, so loadOpenCodeSession/delete/rename take an id and no identity, and the
list and live routes returned other people's conversations.

so: ChatIdentity carries isOwner as its own fact (not inferred from
osUser === null, which holds only while resolveHomeDir refuses a member without
one), and every opencode door in chat.ts checks it — list, load, live, delete,
rename — plus a refusal on the execution path in handleChat. /chat/models hides
opencode from non-owners as a courtesy; the socket refuses regardless.

a stopgap, not a design. the fix is to thread identity through the opencode
sidecar the way spawnClaudeAsMember does, and TODO.md has been saying so.

not fixed here, and worth knowing: a member's session list is still empty and
/chat/pwds still 500s, because readdirSync on their ~/.claude/projects is EACCES
— claude creates it at mode 700, which zeroes the ACL mask. visible in
officer-error.log right now.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 4dc7cd90c2 a plugin declares permissions, not capabilities, and has no kind
'capabilities' already means three things in this codebase — the permission
registry, the officer-items store, and the sidecar's routing keys. a fourth
would be one too many, and the field is really just permissions. the name is
free: the old permissions table went in 044aacf4.

and the kind enum is gone with it. the first draft handed a plugin the
platform's own five-value CapabilityKind and then forbade three of them. those
five exist because the platform has five sorts of surface; a plugin has two —
grantable to members, or owner-only. a boolean says it, and says it without
needing a prohibition: a plugin cannot claim core if core is not a word it can
say.

offscale is ownerOnly: true, which is what kind: 'admin' meant.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b18601530f a manifest for offscale, and the rule it immediately broke
written against the real plugin rather than invented as a field list, on the
theory that an abstract one includes what nothing needs and misses what is
awkward. that paid off on the first field that mattered.

the rule here said a plugin may declare `app` and nothing else. offscale's
capability is `admin` — owner only — and should stay that way, so the rule was
wrong. the distinction is direction, not privilege: `core` means every account
and not deniable, so claiming it grants yourself to everyone; `admin` means
owner only, which is a plugin restricting itself. corrected table in the doc.
core, execution and confined stay the platform's to assign.

`publisher` is the only input to the mount prefix, through one function, so
first-party and third-party cannot drift into two code paths.

sidecar.runtime is a field because officer-pty needs node for node-pty's abi
while everything else is bun — one plugin already needs it, so not speculative.

dependsOn is informational and unenforced. code dependencies need no declaration
now that a plugin builds inside the workspace, and service dependencies already
degrade; this exists so the store can say the console section wants the terminal
plugin, rather than the section silently doing nothing.

health is marked deferred rather than open, with the reasoning, so it does not
get re-raised. migrations likewise.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 f6b2905cc7 how the frontend ships, and what plugins may depend on
everything moves to the plugin, frontend included, so federation stopped being
a later problem and had to be answered. it is answered by not needing it: bun
builds the spa into build/ at start and rebuilds it on install, serving from
that directory instead of compiling through the html import. Bun.build is a
runtime call, so an install needs no restart — just a refresh. same origin
throughout, which is why there is no cors work and no rewrite of useClient.

App.tsx keeps core routes and gains one map over `plugins`, each mounted at a
wildcard delegating to the plugin's own router. that list comes from a generated
Plugins.tsx, because a bundler cannot follow import(runtimeString) — the
specifier has to be concrete before the build. the six places the shell
currently hardcodes headscale collapse into that one file, dock included; the
runtime dockItemsFromPlugins path follows rather than competing with it.
presentation moves to build time, permission stays runtime.

dependencies turned out to be two different problems wearing one word. a service
dependency (assist → anthropic-proxy) is a wire call and already degrades. a
code dependency (ConsoleView → TerminalView) is in the bundle and cannot. rule:
may depend, must degrade. service calls go through the api carrying the user's
token, with the user's own permissions, which also deletes the state-file read
claude-proxy uses today to lift the proxy's secret.

no per-plugin permission list: a plugin is part of the app and bounded by the
account calling it. that makes marketplace review a security boundary rather
than a naming one, which is worth knowing rather than discovering.

and the developer environment is a platform checkout — clone it, run dev, build
the plugin inside. the 13 workspace packages resolve by name because bun links
them, so `import { useClient } from 'hooks/useClient'` just works with no
registry and no versioning. dev-time and build-time become the same mechanism.

also writes down the headscale inventory now that it has been read end to end,
including that assist.ts travels unwired as a marker and must not be tidied away
as dead code.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 7f26f0b4b8 offscale is headscale plus the companion, not a rename
the name looks like branding on someone else's project, which is exactly how it
gets 'corrected' back later. it is not: offscale is the stock headscale server
plus the companion that ships beside it, and the invite flow is the first thing
that only exists there.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 01a20fff4e the invite flow replaced device enrolment; it is not a gap
closes the one open item left by deleting /api/vpn. removing the vpn capability
leaves no member-grantable headscale surface and that is correct: the owner
mints an invite from the headscale app, the companion turns it into the redirect
the phone claims, and the device joins. no per-member permission on officer is
involved at any step.

recorded as decided rather than open so nobody reintroduces a member-facing
enrolment route believing something was lost. nothing was — /api/vpn/enroll was
the design the invite flow replaced, and it never had a UI.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 88a44ec4a7 delete /api/vpn
it had no caller. verified three ways before removing: nothing in the mobile
monorepo reaches it (enrollVpn's only call site is behind `if (embedded)`, and
the one app rendering VpnScreen never passes embedded), nothing in the officer
web app references it, and the live database holds no vpn grants. the companion
was checked separately by its own author — zero references there either.

and it will not come back. offscale is permanently standalone: the thing that
gets you to the platform cannot itself need the platform, or a broken tailnet
locks you out of both.

gone: api/vpn/router.ts, its mount, and the `vpn` capability. the registry keeps
a comment where the capability was, because its removal has a cost worth
recording — headscale is admin-only, so no member-grantable headscale surface
remains, and reintroducing one is a deliberate act rather than an oversight.

kept: the sidecar's enroll.ts. its bare POST /_officer/enroll handler is now
unreachable, but the file is also the dispatcher for /enroll/invites, which is
live and fundamental. the header comment now says so, so nobody deletes it
looking for dead code.

also records the third component in the doc. two of the three have an "enroll"
surface and only one is ours: /api/v1/enroll/* belongs to the companion, is
where the phone actually goes, and must not be collapsed into /api/offscale/*.

capabilities tests: 17 pass / 8 fail both before and after, stash-verified — the
8 are pre-existing, in totality and path-to-capability, which is precisely the
machinery dynamic mounting will rework.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 bbc60b34ac headscale leaves the baseline, and offscale gets a design doc
first step of extracting headscale into a plugin. CORE_PROCESSES is five now,
and the catalogue.test CORE[] mirror follows it — not optional, since that list
asserts "the catalogue must not offer a core process" and would have blocked
adding offscale to the catalogue later.

the local generated ecosystem file lost its entry too, and officer-headscale was
stopped and deleted from pm2 by hand. the platform still mounts /api/headscale
and still declares the headscale and vpn capabilities, so the feature is
present-but-unavailable rather than gone.

docs/offscale-plugin.md is a live document for the rest of it. what it records
that nothing else does: core is now `officer` alone and everything else is a
plugin; routes are /api/<app-name> for ours and /api/p/<creator>/<app-name> for
third parties, derived by one function so the two can never become two systems;
tables stay in public with an app-name prefix; mounting becomes genuinely
dynamic, which retires the "every route stays mounted" premise and relocates
assertCapabilityTotality from a boot check to a per-mount transaction.

it also records a rejected experiment with evidence — a postgres schema per
plugin works completely, including cross-schema FK, idempotent push and
DROP SCHEMA CASCADE as uninstall — and the reason not to: drizzle-kit 0.31.8
needs schemaFilter naming every schema, contradicting its own docs, and without
it push reports "No changes detected" and creates nothing. a plugin install that
reports success and makes no tables is the exact failure shape we have hit three
times this week.

and /api/vpn is dead: no caller in the mobile monorepo, none in the web app, no
grants in the database. offscale is permanently standalone, so it never comes
back. the invite flow is unaffected — the phone claims from the Companion, not
from officer.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d000cedf2f let anyone toggle hidden files again
the show/hide dotfiles button was dead for members. they open the browser at
their own home, that home is `/`, and the toggle is disabled at `/`.

it was never meant to apply to them. 74894b0c wrote it as

    user?.role === 'Super Admin' && currentPath === '/'

to keep the OWNER's home root readable — it is all .bashrc and .ssh and
.claude. then 044aacf4 removed the multi-user surface, dropped users.role, and
noted in its own message that "every role === 'Super Admin' check was
permanently true". so it folded the conjunct away and left `currentPath === '/'`.

correct on a single-user server. multi-user came back on 2026-08-07 and this
line did not come back with it, so a rule about one account's home quietly
became a rule about everyone's — and members feel it constantly, because
members are always at their root.

removed rather than restored to owner-only: the point was a tidy default, not a
prohibition, and `files/showHidden` already defaults to false. so dotfiles stay
hidden until asked for, everywhere, for everyone — and the asking now works.

the server never filtered dotfiles; readdir returns them and always did. this
was only ever the client.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 336e718463 read a member's transcripts as the member
a provisioned member could chat normally and had no conversation list. every
refresh came back empty, so nothing could be resumed, and a new chat never
became a saved one.

nothing was wrong with the logic. the turn runs as them, writes its transcript
into their home, and the platform looks in exactly the right place — it just
cannot read what it finds.

confineUserTree grants the service user a named acl entry on every member home,
with d: defaults so anything created later inherits it. that entry is real and
getfacl shows it. it does not survive a file created at mode 600, because posix
derives the acl mask from the group bits of the creation mode:

    user:officer:rwx    #effective:---
    mask::---

claude writes every transcript at exactly that mode — .claude and projects/ are
775, every *.jsonl is 600. so readdir and stat worked, every read raised eacces,
and summarizeTranscript catches eacces and returns null. the sessions did not
fail, they vanished.

no acl can fix this. the creation mode ands the mask down, so d: defaults cannot
raise it, and the only way up is through `other`, which is every account on the
box. a 600 file has two readers: its owner, and root.

so read as the owner of the file, through the same runAsArgv the terminal and
the agent already use. spawnSync keeps it synchronous, which is what lets it
drop into a 914-line synchronous parser reached from five modules instead of
rippling await through all of it.

the privileged surface turned out to be seven call sites, not the file: stat
needs traverse and readdir needs read, and the 775 directories give both. only
content needed identity.

also fixes a 500. parseClaudeTranscript read the file uncaught after an
existsSync that passes, so deep-linking /chat/<id> as a member threw rather than
404ing. it returns null now, like the list path always did.

verified against a throwaway linux account provisioned the same way a member is
— 700 home, named acl, transcript written as them at 600. before: 0 sessions and
loadClaudeSession null. after: the session, its title, its messages, and a
rename that leaves the file owned by the member at 600.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fe0012635a stop leaking the parent claude session into the one we spawn
pm2 inherits the environment of whoever ran pm2 start, so restarting this
sidecar from inside a claude code terminal — which is how it is restarted
most of the time — bakes that terminal's session into the daemon. right now
this process is carrying CLAUDE_CODE_MESSAGING_SOCKET for an unrelated pid
that has been alive for an hour and a half.

three of these were already stripped; the rest arrived with 2.x and were
never added. this is hygiene, not the fix for today's hang — a spawn was
verified to succeed with the whole set present — but a child attaching to a
stranger's ipc socket is not a failure anyone would recognise from the
symptom.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 547662842b a dead claude process no longer hangs the chat forever
the sdk runs two independent tasks per session: the consumer loop
(`for await (const msg of q)`) and an input pump that writes the queue to
the child's stdin. the consumer loop's `finally` is what removes a session
from the map — but when the CHILD dies it is the input pump that fails,
with `ProcessTransport is not ready for writing`, and that rejection
neither ends the consumer loop nor is caught anywhere.

so the loop stayed parked on a stream with no writer, `finally` never ran,
the session stayed in the map, and spawnClaudeStreaming handed every later
turn to the same corpse. each one pushed a message onto a queue nobody
drained: no error, no result, no timeout. the client spun forever and the
only trace was one unhandledRejection line in the sidecar log.

observed on the host today; the only cure was pm2 restart
officer-claude-code.

a member's turn already supplied its own spawn function because it has to
go through setpriv. the owner had none, and therefore no place to observe
the child — which is exactly why its death was invisible. so give the owner
one too, and wrap both in watchChild: on exit or error, drop the session
from the map and, if a turn was in flight, tell the client.

emitting only while generating is deliberate. a child that exits between
turns is invisible to the user, and an error bubble arriving in a chat
nobody is looking at would be noise — dropping the map entry is the whole
repair there, because the next turn builds a fresh session and resumes the
transcript by id.

the stall timer now tears the session down as well. it used to keep it —
"it may still be working, and the next turn resumes it" — which is right
for a slow agent and wrong for a wedged one: the session stayed broken, so
every later turn hung the same way and "send again to continue" was a lie.
sessions with background tasks outstanding are still left alone, since a
job can be silent far longer than ten minutes and still land its
notification.

verified live against the real manager: killed the child mid-turn, saw the
error surface and the next turn rebuild the session.

# Extracting a feature into a plugin
The runbook, written the day offscale became the first one. Follow it for music, then for the rest.
**Read first, in this order:**
1. `plugins/offscale/PLUGIN.md` — every decision and why, including the three that reversed
2. `plugins/example/` — the reference implementation, deliberately the smallest real plugin
3. `plugins/offscale/` — the worked example, all four parts
4. `plugins/music/PLUGIN.md` — the MESSY worked example: three pieces that stayed behind, and why each
is a seam rather than a loose end. Read it if your feature has anything the platform also uses.
5. `src/servers/plugins/` — the system itself: `manifest`, `discover`, `mount`, `install`, `ecosystem`, `schema`, `generate`
---
## The rules. These are not preferences
**Every plugin route renders a Workspace with at least one panel.** A plugin contributes `web/panels.ts`
(`appRegistryMetas`, at least one) and `web/layout.ts` (`defaultLayout`); the shell renders
`WorkspaceView` around them. There is no way to export a component — a `web/` directory missing either
file is **refused at discovery, by name**. Non-compliance is unrepresentable, not forbidden.
**Every plugin permission is grantable, per role, at read or write.** No `kind`, no `ownerOnly`, no field
of any sort. The platform's answer is uniform; what a grant _means_ — whose rows a member sees, whether a
resource is shared or per-user — is the plugin's own job, in its own queries.
**Say `permissions`, never the other word.** It already means three things in this codebase.
**The manifest holds only what a directory listing cannot say.** Identity facts and human choices:
`publisher`, `version`, `platform`, `label`, `summary`, `icon`, `color`, `permissions`. Everything
structural is convention — presence is the declaration:
```
manifest.ts required
api/router.ts a backend router, mounted at mountPrefix()
db/schema.ts tables, prefixed <app-name>_
sidecar/index.ts a process (.mjs instead means node)
web/panels.ts panels — REQUIRED with web/
web/layout.ts layout — REQUIRED with web/
```
**A host binary is the one exception, and it goes in the manifest** — the tree cannot say it. Declare
`osDependencies` when your plugin shells out to something: the binary to probe on PATH, why it is needed,
and a package name per package manager. Absent means self-sufficient, which offscale and example are.
Music added the field; see its PLUGIN.md for what it is guarding against.
`appName` is the **directory name**. The sidecar runtime is the **file extension**.
**Nothing may branch on provenance** except `mountPrefix()`. First-party and third-party differing
anywhere else means two systems, and only one gets tested.
**Uninstall never destroys data.** The generated schema barrel follows plugin **directories**, not the
install table — `db:push` drops what it cannot see, so following installs would delete a plugin's tables
on uninstall. Only deleting a plugin's source can lose its data.
---
## The order that worked
1. **Map it first.** Sidecar, api router, db, frontend, and every line of platform wiring that names it.
2. **Move the backend**: `sidecar/``plugins/<name>/sidecar/`, `api/<name>/router.ts`
`plugins/<name>/api/router.ts` (export `router`, not `<name>Router`), `officer_db/src/<name>/*`
`plugins/<name>/db/`.
3. **Rewrite imports.** Platform code becomes `@@/…` (resolves from `plugins/` — verified). Queries take
`officerdb/db` and `officerdb/crypto`. Schema takes `officerdb/auth/schema``users.id` is the one
reference a plugin may make.
4. **Write `manifest.ts`.**
5. **Move the frontend** to `web/`, as `panels.ts` + `layout.ts`. Imports of platform UI become
`officerdev` (the barrel exports `WorkspaceView`, `TerminalView`, `AppRegistryMeta`); `hooks/useClient`
and `helpers/clipboard` stay as they are.
6. **Remove every trace from the platform**, and delete rather than comment out: `hono.ts` mount and
import, the `capabilities/registry.ts` entry, `App.tsx` routes, `Screens/Dashboard/index.tsx`,
`AppRegistry.tsx`, `officerdev/src/index.ts` re-exports, `Dock.tsx` tile, `usePageTitle.ts` rule, and
**both** database barrels (`index.ts` and `schema.ts`).
7. **`bunx tsgo`** until clean. It finds the wiring you missed.
8. **Verify on the live server** — see below.
9. **Commit and push.** Message says what moved, what it found, and what is still open.
---
## Verification — run all of it
```
bun test # 757 pass, 10 pre-existing failures. Any 11th is yours
pm2 restart officer
```
Then through `/plugins`, watching PM2 and the browser at each step:
| Step | Expect |
| ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| install | streamed log; schema applied; sidecar online; route mounted |
| the plugin's API | answers |
| the plugin's screen | renders as a Workspace |
| dock | tile appears |
| permissions page | its permission is listed, read/write/none |
| disable | route 404s, sidecar stops, **tables and rows survive** |
| enable | comes back |
| uninstall | route gone, `pm2 list` loses it, **data still there** |
| `bun db:push` while uninstalled | `No changes detected` — data survives |
| install again | identical to the first install |
A normal refresh is enough; the shell is `no-store`. When the log's last line appears, the bundle exists.
---
## Traps, all of which cost real time once
- **Mount before starting the sidecar.** `createSidecarProxy` learns its port from a one-shot
`<name>:server` event and subscribes when the router is first imported — at mount. Start first and the
announcement fires into a void: online process, mounted routes, every request `503`. Already fixed in
`install.ts`; do not reorder it.
- **`src/servers/sidecar/protocol.ts` still declares `<name>:server` per sidecar.** Music will need its
line kept, or the union generalised to `` `${string}:server` `` — which is the better fix and is
pending for the whole protocol.
- **`bunfig.toml` plugins do not reach `Bun.build()`.** Tailwind is passed explicitly in `generate.ts`.
- **The shell output is named for the entrypoint** (`index.gen.html`), and `naming` does not change it.
- **A stale generated file** (`Plugins.gen.tsx`, `plugin-schemas.gen.ts`) will fail the typecheck after a
contract change. Regenerate rather than hand-edit.
- **Delete the feature's `app-store/catalogue.ts` entry, or its screen goes blank.** `capabilityAvailability`
derives from `sidecar_installs`, and a plugin never gets a row there — its install state is
`plugin_installs`. A leftover catalogue entry therefore makes the capability permanently `unavailable`,
which puts its route into `deniedRoutes` and withholds the dock tile, on a server where the plugin is
installed and healthy. This has now bitten twice: headscale (2026-08-14) and nearly music. The note in
`catalogue.ts` is the one to read.
- **Moving a `*.test.ts` into `plugins/` used to stop it running, silently.** `[test] root` was `./src`
until music; it is now `.`. If that ever goes back, every extraction quietly shrinks the suite. Compare
the FILE COUNT across a run, not just pass/fail — that is the only thing that shows it.
- **A manifest is read once per server process.** Discovery does `await import(manifest.ts)`, and the
module cache holds it for the lifetime of the process — so editing a manifest while developing changes
nothing until `pm2 restart officer`. Costs ten minutes the first time, because the plugins page keeps
cheerfully showing the old values. `outdated` cannot notice a version bump without a restart either.
- **A plugin importing platform code is fine (`@@/`); the reverse is not.** If something in `src/` imports
from your feature and cannot move — a widget, a relay — that piece stays, and the boundary goes around
it. Find those before you plan the split; they decide it for you.
---
## Music is done. What it changed about this runbook
Extracted 2026-08-15 and verified live through the whole table above. `plugins/music/PLUGIN.md` is the
record; the parts worth carrying forward are already folded into the rules and traps above.
The one thing that generalises: **map what the PLATFORM still needs from your feature before you plan the
split.** Music's boundary was not chosen — it was dictated by two imports pointing the wrong way (a
dashboard widget reaching for `useMusicPlayer`, a cliamp relay reaching for `getMusicServerWsUrl`), and
both were found by reading the import graph rather than by reasoning about what music "is". Offscale had
none, so it came out whole and made the job look cleaner than it is.
The three pieces music left behind are `officerdev/src/MusicPlayer/`, `src/servers/api/music/router.ts`
and everything cliamp. Each is documented where it sits. **None of them is work waiting for you** — do
not tidy them into a plugin as a warm-up.
### The global-overlay question is answered, and the answer is no
Music was the first feature wanting to render on every route. It does not get to, and neither will the
next one: a shell slot for a plugin-provided component reopens "there is no way to export a component",
which is the rule the whole frontend contract rests on. `MusicPlayerHost` stays in `DashboardLayout`,
gated on its plugin's permission so it switches itself off with the plugin.
Reopen this only for a feature where the overlay is the whole product, and expect to argue for it.
---
## Which one next
No decision has been made. What the tree says, for whoever picks it:
- **`schema.ts` still lists eight commented plugin schemas** — email, notify, dav, photos, jellyfin,
invoiceshelf, soulseek, vault, wallet. Each line names its tables and the file that defines them, which
is exactly what its extraction needs.
- **`hono.ts` still has fifteen commented mounts.** Same list, roughly.
- **Soulseek is the interesting one**, and not because it is easy: `docs/navigation-audit.md` records its
panels making 37 raw upstream calls, which is the mistake the offscale sidecar exists to avoid. Its
extraction is a rewrite wearing a move's clothes. Say so up front rather than discovering it at 2am.
- **Email and wallet both hold credentials**, so they meet `secret-store` and `service_connections` in a
way neither of the first two did. Read `docs/secret-store.md` first.
## Still open, platform-wide. Do not rediscover these
- **Websocket providers** — `server.reload({ routes })` proven, never called. No plugin owns a socket yet;
music would have been the first and cliamp being out of scope is what let it pass.
- **`assertCapabilityTotality` reads the wrong list** — `Object.keys(handlers)` while Bun serves the route
table, and plugin routes are not in `PROTECTED_API_PREFIXES` at all. It belongs in `buildHonoApp()`,
now the single place routes are mounted. Security-adjacent; close it before members reach plugin routes.
The live example is the two cliamp sockets: served in the route table, claimed by no capability, and
invisible to the check. Pinned by a test in `registry.test.ts` so it stays a known fact.
- **Two dock sources** — the app store keeps its own catalogue; one when it is rebuilt on this
- **Offscale's queries scope by caller**, so a granted member sees their own empty list rather than the
owner's. Its own job, not the platform's.
- **`protocol.ts` declares `<name>:server` per sidecar.** `music:server` and `headscale:server` are both
still there for plugins that have left. Generalising the union to `` `${string}:server` `` is the fix.
- **`hasPersonalWrites` reads `c.personal` only**, so a plugin declaring the same thing through
`readOnlyWrites` reports `false`. Nothing renders it, so it is dead on the wire.

# Music — the second plugin
**Status: extracted 2026-08-15.** Written after the fact rather than during, because unlike offscale this
one had no design questions left open — the runbook (`plugins/EXTRACTING-A-PLUGIN.md`) had already decided
everything except one call. This records what moved, what did not, and the two bugs the extraction found.
Read `plugins/offscale/PLUGIN.md` first. It is the design document for the plugin system; this is a
worked second case, and it is interesting mainly for being the messy one.
---
## What music is
The `/music` screen, the library index, and the phone and tablet apps that stream from it. The contract
those apps speak is `MUSIC_API.md`, next to this file — it is the reason the sidecar's HTTP shape is not
free to change.
```
manifest.ts identity, one permission
api/router.ts re-exports the platform's proxy — see below
sidecar/index.ts the whole /api/music contract (503 lines)
sidecar/indexer.ts the library walker → cache tree + manifest (1079 lines)
sidecar/stream-audio.ts 206 / Content-Range / 416, and X-Audio-Duration
sidecar/nightly-reindex.ts 3am full rebuild, staged and swapped
db/ music_favorites, _playlists, _playlist_items, _now_playing
web/ two panels and a layout; the shell renders the Workspace
scripts/ the reindex CLI, which talks to the sidecar port directly
```
---
## The three things that stayed, and why
Offscale left nothing behind. Music leaves three, and calling them seams rather than loose ends only
means each one is written down with what would close it.
### 1. cliamp — parked in the plugin, not left in the platform
`cliamp` and `cliamp-audio` are a _second_ playback path: the `cliamp` TUI run on the server, with its
terminal and its PulseAudio null sink piped to the browser. Out of scope by the owner's decision.
**All of it now lives in `./cliamp/`** — moved 2026-08-15, in two passes on the same day:
```
sidecar/music/{cliamp-ws,pulse-audio}.ts, asoundrc, cliamp-ws.test.ts → cliamp/
api/cliamp/relay.ts → cliamp/relay.ts
apps/FileBrowser/{CliampPanel,AudioStreamPlayer}.tsx → cliamp/
```
`src/servers/sidecar/music/`, `src/servers/api/cliamp/` and `src/servers/api/music/` are **gone**, and
`server.tsx` has no cliamp import, provider name, handler entry or route left.
Two things went with it that were live rather than inert:
- **The file browser's `Play` action.** A context-menu item on any audio file or folder set `?play=`,
which rendered a cliamp terminal panel pointed at `/api/cliamp/ws` — a route that upgraded into a
`handlers` entry that was commented out, so `handlers[provider]!.open(ws)` asserted non-null on
`undefined`. **Using that menu item crashed the socket handler.** The action, its layout, its panel and
its two menu entries are removed; the components are parked here.
- **The two socket routes.** They now 404. Verified live.
That closed the totality drift as a side effect: `server.tsx`'s route table and its `handlers` map agree
again, which they had not since 2026-08-13. `registry.test.ts` keeps an assertion on it.
**What it takes to bring cliamp back:** a plugin owning a websocket. `server.reload({ routes })` is proven
and never called. A platform gap, not a music one.
### 2. ~~`src/servers/api/music/router.ts`~~ — deleted, and the reason it existed was nothing
The proxy was constructed in PLATFORM code that knew the string `'music'`, and this plugin's
`api/router.ts` merely re-exported it. The stated reason: `api/cliamp/relay.ts` imported
`getMusicServerWsUrl` from it, so it could not move.
That reason was three layers of nothing:
- `server.tsx:20` imported the relay's two exports — **used only on commented-out lines**
- so the relay's functions were never invoked, and its call to `getMusicServerWsUrl` never ran
- and the file's other export, `getMusicServerUrl`, had **no consumers at all**
A dead import held a music-named file in the platform. The proxy is now built in
`plugins/music/api/router.ts`; the relay takes its URL from there.
**And the prefix is derived rather than written.** It was the literal `'/api/music'`, which the proxy uses
to strip characters off the path. That is correct only because `mountPrefix` returns `/music` for a
first-party publisher — the same plugin published by anyone else mounts at `/api/p/<publisher>/music` and
would have forwarded `/alice/music/stream` to a sidecar expecting `/stream`. A latent bug only third
parties would ever hit, and a quiet violation of the rule that `mountPrefix` is the one function allowed
to know about provenance. It now calls `mountPrefix`.
`[open]` `appName` is still a literal there, because a plugin's router cannot see its own directory name —
the platform imports the module and reads `router`, so there is nowhere to inject it. The fix is
`api/router.ts` exporting a factory the installer calls with the plugin's own identity.
### 3. ~~The player~~ — moved, and the reasoning that kept it was removed rather than refuted
The first version of this document said the player stayed in the platform and called the decision
settled by a hard constraint:
> `useMusicPlayer` and `PlayerTrack` are imported from `officerdev` by `widgets/MusicPlayer/`, the
> dashboard widget — and the platform cannot import from a plugin. So the player state stays whatever is
> decided about the UI.
True at the time. The owner then moved the widget into the plugin, and the constraint evaporated: the
complete remaining platform dependency became one line, `DashboardLayout.tsx:66`.
So the whole of `officerdev/src/MusicPlayer/` now lives in `web/` — engine, state, bar, favourites,
lyrics toggle and the library vocabulary. **`src/` contains no music code at all.**
**Where the engine is mounted, and why it is not the shell.** `MusicPlayerHost` renders inside
`MusicDetail`, at the foot of the library view. That reads odd until you notice what it already did:
```tsx
if (pathname.startsWith('/music')) return null; // the panel draws its own MusicMiniBar
```
On `/music` the host has always rendered nothing and existed purely to own the `GaplessEngine`. Mounted
in the panel it does exactly that, and the bar code stays intact for whenever there is a slot to put it in.
**`[phase 2]` Leaving `/music` unmounts the host, which stops playback.** Deliberately deferred rather
than solved: making audio outlive the route needs either a shell slot a plugin can contribute to — which
reopens "there is no way to export a component" — or the engine hoisted to module scope so a panel
attaches and detaches from a singleton. The second keeps the rule and loses only the off-route transport
controls, and is the better idea, but it is a rewrite of the host's lifecycle rather than a move.
Nothing breaks in the meantime, and that was the bar: `player-time`'s `seekPlayer` is optional-chained
so a call with no host registered is a no-op, `registerPlayerSeek` clears only its own registration, the
host's cleanup destroys the engine and nulls its ref, and the queue lives in global state — so returning
to `/music` remounts the host and reloads it.
## Two bugs, neither visible from reading
**The app-store catalogue still listed music, and that would have blanked the screen.**
`capabilityAvailability()` derives from `sidecar_installs`, and a _plugin_ never gets a row there — its
install state is `plugin_installs`. So `music` would have been permanently `unavailable`, which puts
`/music` into `deniedRoutes`: dock tile withheld, screen blank, on a server where the plugin was
installed, enabled and healthy.
This is the **headscale bug, exactly** — and it is documented six lines above where the music entry sat,
in the same file. Found by reading that note rather than by hitting it again, which is the only reason
it cost minutes instead of an evening. Entry removed.
**`[test] root = "./src"`, so moving `lyrics.test.ts` into `plugins/` stopped running it silently.** The
count fell by nine and the suite still read green-ish. A test that quietly stops running is worse than
one that fails, and _every_ future extraction would have taken its tests out of the suite the same way.
Root is now the repo. Positional filters cannot fix this — `bun test plugins` matches paths under root,
so it finds `src/servers/plugins/` and not `plugins/`.
---
## Permissions
One permission, `music`, and the key is deliberately unchanged from the registry entry it replaces — so
every existing `role_capabilities` grant keeps meaning what it meant, and `can('music')` keeps resolving
for the overlay. Renaming it would have been a silent data change.
The old entry carried `personal: ['/favorites', '/now-playing', '/playlists', '/queue']`. A manifest has
no `personal` field and should not grow one: that is the per-user visibility model, which is the plugin's
own job and explicitly not this extraction's work. They ride across on `readOnlyWrites` instead, because
`isRequestAllowedAtLevel` **concatenates the two lists** — one mechanism under two names. A read grant
therefore permits exactly the four paths it permitted yesterday, and no field was added.
`/queue` is in that list because it was. No such route exists, in the sidecar or anywhere else.
`[open]` What a member's grant _means_ is unfinished, and music is where the richer model was always
going to be designed (`plugins/offscale/PLUGIN.md` says so). It is genuinely non-uniform here in a way
offscale's is not: favourites, playlists and now-playing are already per-caller — the sidecar scopes
every one by the `X-Officer-User` header the proxy injects — while the library is one shared index for
the household. So "whose row is this" already has a real answer on one side and not the other. That is a
change inside `db/queries.ts`, not a flag on the manifest.
---
## Host dependencies — the field music created
`ffmpeg` and `ffprobe`. Offscale needed nothing, so until music there was no reason to build this and no
way to say it; the first draft of this document said "there is no field for a host binary" and left it at
that. That was the wrong answer, because of HOW music fails without them.
It does not fail. `ffprobe` missing means the indexer catches the spawn error and returns a track carrying
its filename and nothing else — no title, artist, album, duration or embedded lyrics — then walks the
whole library, writes a complete cache tree and reports success. Five swallowed catches in
`indexer.ts` and `stream-audio.ts`, no log, no counter. The only tell is `coversSaved: 0` in a report
nobody reads. A refusal wearing the costume of a normal result.
So `osDependencies` is a manifest field now (`servers/plugins/manifest.ts`, `servers/plugins/os-deps.ts`):
```ts
osDependencies: [
{ binary: 'ffprobe', reason: '…', packages: { apt: 'ffmpeg', pacman: 'ffmpeg', dnf: 'ffmpeg', brew: 'ffmpeg' } },
{ binary: 'ffmpeg', reason: '…', packages: { } },
]
```
Both are declared even though one package provides both, because the platform probes BINARIES and these
two fail differently — and the owner should be told which one they are missing. The installer dedupes to
a single `ffmpeg` before anything reaches a command line.
The shape is `scripts/setup-old/setup.sh`'s, not invented: probe the binary, map to a package name per
manager. Probing the binary is what makes "built-in on this OS" free — if it is on PATH the package map
is never consulted. Per-manager names rather than canonical-with-overrides because `packages.sh` already
recorded why that indirection was rejected.
**Verified end to end on 2026-08-15.** Both binaries were absent on this machine all evening. The plugins
page showed `ffprobe missing — ffmpeg` and `ffmpeg missing — ffmpeg` with the exact root command it would
run; installing streamed `dependencies: installing ffmpeg with apt``dependencies: ffprobe, ffmpeg now
on PATH`, and `X-Audio-Duration: 7.026939` appeared on a stream response for the first time. The refusal
path was exercised separately against a temporary probe dependency: HTTP 400, `steps: []`, and the reason
named — nothing had happened, so there was nothing to undo.
`~/Music` still does not exist, so there is no library to index.
`cliamp`, `parec`, `pulseaudio` and `pactl` stayed behind with cliamp. The sidecar logs
`pulseaudio not installed, skipping audio setup` and carries on, which is the right shape.
---
## Verified on the live server, 2026-08-15
The runbook's table, run against `platform.officer.dev` rather than reasoned about.
| Step | Result |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| install | streamed 5 steps; schema applied in 2082ms; `officer-music` online; `/example, /music, /offscale` mounted |
| the API | `/api/music/manifest` 200, `/api/music/favorites` returns per-user JSON |
| range requests | full 200 + `Accept-Ranges`; `bytes=100-199`**206**, correct `Content-Range`, exactly 100 bytes; unsatisfiable → **416**; `../../etc/passwd`**400** |
| the screen | route generated in `Plugins.gen.tsx`, panels in the built bundle, `PluginScreen` wraps `WorkspaceView`. Structural — not eyeballed in a browser |
| dock | tile present in `/api/user/capabilities`; `/music` in `routes`, not in `deniedRoutes` |
| permissions page | `music` listed among the grantable |
| disable | route 404s, sidecar `stopped`, **rows survive** |
| enable | 200 again, sidecar online, favourites still there |
| uninstall | route 404s, **absent from pm2**, ecosystem entry removed, **rows survive** |
| `bun db:push` while uninstalled | **`No changes detected`**, rows survive |
| install again | byte-identical steps, and a **restore** — the seeded favourite and playlist came back |
| `pm2 restart officer` | boots clean, all three plugins mount, music answers 200 |
Seeded rows and the audio fixture were removed afterwards; `~/Music` was deleted again, since it did not
exist before.
**Music is left INSTALLED and enabled.** It had been switched off since 2026-08-13, so this restores it.
---
## Still open
### The library browser reads the filesystem, not this plugin — and that is a PERMISSION dependency
Found 2026-08-15, after the extraction landed, by reading the code rather than by anything failing.
`MusicBrowser.tsx` lists folders with `GET /file-browser/ls`, not through the music sidecar
(`MusicBrowser.tsx:63,81`). `/file-browser` belongs to the **`files`** capability, and `files` is
**`confined`** — so:
- a member granted `music` but not `files` gets a working player, working favourites, and an **empty
library**, because every listing 403s;
- and `files` is not a grant that can simply be handed over. `authorize.ts` drops a confined grant for an
account with no `osUser`, so it means nothing without a per-user Linux account.
This is the first **cross-plugin permission dependency** in the system, and it is a different animal from
the one offscale has. Offscale's `ConsoleView``TerminalView` is a CODE dependency: it resolves at build
time, and the worst case is a plugin that will not compile. This one resolves at request time, per
account, and its failure mode is a screen that renders perfectly and shows nothing.
Three possible shapes, none chosen:
1. **The sidecar lists.** Music already walks the library for its index — `GET /music/ls` would put the
listing behind the `music` permission where it belongs, and the plugin stops needing `files` at all.
Most self-contained, and the most work.
2. **The manifest declares a permission dependency**, and the platform refuses the grant or warns. Honest,
but it makes one plugin's grant conditional on another capability, which is new machinery.
3. **Leave it and document it** — a member needs `files` too. Cheapest, and it quietly ties a music grant
to a Linux account, which is a much bigger commitment than the owner is agreeing to on that page.
(1) is probably right, and it is the same shape as offscale's rule that the sidecar absorbs everything.
Not tonight's call.
- **`hasPersonalWrites` reads `c.personal` only**, so the permissions API reports `false` for a plugin
that declares the same thing through `readOnlyWrites`. Nothing renders the field, so it is dead on the
wire — noted rather than fixed.
- **Two dock sources.** The app store keeps its own catalogue while the plugin system builds tiles from
manifests, and the self endpoint concatenates both. One when the store is rebuilt on the plugin system.
- **`src/servers/sidecar/protocol.ts` still declares `music:server`** per sidecar. Generalising the union
to `` `${string}:server` `` is the better fix and is pending for the whole protocol.
- **The cliamp sockets are claimed by no capability**, and are served. Now pinned by a test in
`registry.test.ts` rather than left to be rediscovered — closing it is the totality work.

// first-party publisher. The same plugin published by anyone else mounts at `/api/p/<publisher>/music`
// and would forward `/alice/music/stream` to a sidecar expecting `/stream`.

// `appName` is passed as a literal because this file cannot see its own directory name. That is a real
// gap — the platform imports `router.ts` and reads `router`, so there is nowhere to inject it — and the

// The second plugin extracted from the platform, on 2026-08-15. Bigger than offscale and, unlike it, not

// of them here after the owner read the code and asked why the platform still had files named for music.
// He was right — one of the three "seams" turned out to be dead code holding the door open.

// cliamp/ the second playback path, parked
// widgets/ the dashboard widget, parked
// assets/icon.png the dock tile, published to /plugins/music/ on install
// sidecar/ the whole /api/music contract: indexing, streaming, per-user state
// db/ music_favorites, _playlists, _playlist_items, _now_playing
// web/ the library panels; the shell renders the Workspace
//
// ── What stayed in the platform, and why ── (nothing. All three moved here.)
//
// 1. ~~cliamp~~ — MOVED HERE, all of it, into `./cliamp/`. The sidecar halves, the relay, the file
// browser's panel and its `Play` action. `src/servers/sidecar/music/`, `src/servers/api/cliamp/` and
// `src/servers/api/music/` no longer exist, and `server.tsx` has no cliamp anything. It is PARKED, not
// working: bringing it back needs a plugin to own a websocket, which is a platform gap.
//
// 2. ~~The dashboard widget~~ — MOVED HERE, to `./widgets/`, and unregistered from WidgetRegistry.
// Parked: plugins cannot contribute widgets and that mechanism is not built.
//
// 3. ~~The global player overlay~~ — MOVED HERE, to `./web/`. It stayed while the widget pinned
// `useMusicPlayer` in `officerdev`; once the widget left, the only platform dependency was one line
// in DashboardLayout. `MusicPlayerHost` now mounts inside the MusicDetail panel, where it owns the
// audio engine and renders nothing — which is what it already did on /music.
//
// `[phase 2]` Leaving /music stops playback. Giving audio a life outside the route needs a shell slot
// a plugin can contribute to, or the engine hoisted to module scope. Deferred deliberately; nothing
// breaks meanwhile.

# Offscale — the first real plugin
**Status: LIVE DOCUMENT, opened 2026-08-14, offscale extracted 2026-08-15.** Decisions and findings from
the session that built the plugin system. Correct it in place; it is meant to be edited, not archived.
It lives HERE, in the plugin, rather than in the platform's `docs/`. Most of it is about the plugin
system generally rather than about offscale, and that is deliberate: this is the worked example, and the
reasoning is most useful next to the code it produced. The platform's own docs should not carry the
history of something it no longer knows exists.
Offscale is Headscale extracted into a plugin. It is the pilot: chosen because it is a genuine vertical
slice (schema + backend router + sidecar + frontend screen + capabilities) without being pathological.
**The name is not a rename.** Offscale is Headscale _plus the Companion_ — an API and UI that ship beside
the Headscale server and add what Headscale itself does not do, the invite flow being the first of them.
Calling it Headscale would undersell it and calling it a fork would be wrong: the server underneath is
stock. The distinct name marks a distinct product, not a badge on someone else's.
Related, and older: `sidecar-app-store.md` is the origin design and is largely implemented despite its
"Nothing implemented" header. `sidecar-topology.md` is where the runtime shape was going.
---
## The reframe
**Core is `officer` and nothing else. Everything else is a plugin**`officer-pty`, `officer-opencode`,
`officer-claude-code`, offscale. `officer-anthropic-proxy` is a known exception to think about later; the
intuition is that it is one plugin requiring two sidecars.
The old baseline was six PM2 processes. Headscale was removed from it on 2026-08-14 (`services.sh`,
the local ecosystem file, `catalogue.test.ts`'s `CORE[]` mirror, and PM2 itself), so the machine this was
written on runs five.
### Two words, because "core" was doing two jobs
- **baseline** — what a fresh install actually runs
- **first-party** — what Officer Dev publishes
They come apart immediately: offscale is first-party and no longer baseline. Saying "core" for both makes
"is X core?" a question with two answers.
---
## What a plugin is made of
Combined per plugin as needed. **Only `meta` and the ID are always required.**
- a **meta** object — id, name, dock item, backend/frontend mount, etc.
- an **ID** (see below)
- a **sidecar**
- a **backend router** and its routes
- a **db schema**
- **default permissions per user group**
- what it stores in the **secret store**, and whether that is per-user or plugin-global
- a **frontend router**, its routes, and the frontend code
- how it **mounts into the file browser context menu**
- a set of **capabilities added to officer-items**
- **plugin settings page** definitions
- an accompanying **mobile app**
A plugin is completely self-contained. The platform's installed/enabled state decides whether its routers
mount, whether its sidecar is in the ecosystem file, and so on.
### What offscale needs
db schema · backend router + routes · frontend router + routes · sidecar.
**Not** a context menu, **not** officer-items capabilities, and (probably) **not** a settings page.
---
## Identity and routing
**The app-name is the ID.** One identifier, not two — it names the plugin, prefixes its tables, and is its
route. A random ID plus a separate app-name was considered and dropped: splitting the uniqueness guarantee
across two namespaces means whichever is weaker becomes the real attack surface.
**Uniqueness comes from two mechanisms**, because one is not enough:
- **globally** — the marketplace owns the namespace for published names, with human review. A name as
generic as `notes` gets refused: it is a name Officer Dev may want later.
- **locally** — the platform refuses to install a plugin whose app-name is already taken on this machine.
Needed because a private plugin never asks the marketplace anything.
The marketplace works like the Chrome extension store. Anyone may write plugins for their own use with no
restrictions; publishing is what invites review.
### Mount prefixes
```
first-party /api/<app-name> e.g. /api/offscale
third-party /api/p/<creator>/<app-name> e.g. /api/p/alice/notes
```
`p` is a literal segment meaning "plugin". First-party plugins sit at the root because Officer Dev owns
that namespace anyway, and because provenance is then legible at a glance in a log or a route table.
**The prefix must be derived by exactly one function from the manifest.** Nothing about a first-party
plugin's code may know it is first-party. If that difference ever leaks past the one derivation — a
special case in the router, a bypassed check, a different install branch — first-party and third-party
become two systems, and only one of them gets tested.
`/p/` does **not** solve plugin-vs-plugin collisions; the marketplace and the local check do. What it
guarantees is that a plugin can never shadow a **core** route, which also means the platform can keep
adding core routes forever without breaking installs.
---
## The database
**Tables live in `public`, prefixed with the app-name**`offscale_servers`, exactly as the codebase
already does (`headscale_servers`, `music_favorites`, `vault_tokens`). No new machinery.
### A Postgres schema per plugin was tested and rejected
Not rejected on suspicion — it was built and proven to work, then dropped as more complexity than it
earns. Recorded so nobody re-runs the experiment:
| Property | Result |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `pgSchema('offscale')` + `drizzle-kit push` creates the namespace | works |
| Cross-schema FK to `public.users` | works |
| Partial unique index preserved | works |
| Push is idempotent, no spurious re-creation | works |
| Cascade delete across the schema boundary | works |
| `DROP SCHEMA offscale CASCADE` as uninstall | works, `public` untouched |
**The finding worth keeping: `schemaFilter` is mandatory, and the docs are wrong.** Drizzle's config
documentation states that push "will by default manage all schemas". On drizzle-kit **0.31.8** that is
false. A push with the table verifiably exported reported `No changes detected` and created nothing;
naming the schema in `schemaFilter` made the identical push work.
If per-plugin schemas are ever revisited, that is the trap: **a plugin install would report success and
silently create no tables.** Same failure shape as several bugs found the same day — a refusal wearing the
costume of a normal result.
---
## Mounting — rebuild and swap, at runtime
**Runtime mounting, no restart.** This went round twice — C, then B on the belief that Hono could not
mount at runtime, then back — so the reasoning is recorded rather than the conclusion alone.
### What was actually tested
| Router | `app.route()` after serving has begun |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `SmartRouter` _(Hono's default)_ | **throws**`Can not add a route since the matcher is already built` |
| `RegExpRouter` | **throws**, same reason |
| `TrieRouter` | works |
| `PatternRouter` | works |
So adding at runtime is possible, but only by giving up the fast matcher — and Hono has **no API to
remove a route**, which uninstall needs.
### The approach that solves both
Rebuild the whole app from the current plugin set and **reassign the variable**:
```ts
let app = buildApp(installedPlugins()); // core routes + one .route() per plugin
serve({ fetch: (req, server) => app.fetch(req, server) }); // closure, NOT app.fetch
// install: app = buildApp([...installed, 'offscale'])
// uninstall: app = buildApp(installed.filter(p => p !== 'offscale'))
```
The `fetch` closure reads `app` on every request, so reassigning it **is** the swap. Verified end to end:
```
no plugins /offscale/x -> 404 | /core -> 200
installed /offscale/x -> 200 | /core -> 200
uninstalled /offscale/x -> 404 | /core -> 200
```
Better than the TrieRouter route on both counts: the default `SmartRouter` is kept, so the fast
`RegExpRouter` path survives — and **uninstall works**, which an add-only API cannot express.
### The one line that has to change
`server.tsx:322` is `'/api/*': honoServer.fetch` — a **bound method**, evaluated once at `serve()`. It has
to become `(req, server) => honoServer.fetch(req, server)`, or reassigning the app has no effect at all.
This is the whole mechanical cost.
### Websockets are a separate table, and they reload
Six providers are declared in **Bun's route table**, not Hono's: `/api/tasks/run/ws`,
`/api/tasks/pipeline/ws`, `/api/terminal/ws`, `/api/chat/ws`, `/api/cliamp/ws`, `/api/cliamp/audio/ws`.
The Hono swap does not reach them — but `server.reload({ routes })` does, in both directions:
```
before reload /api/offscale/ws -> refused | /core -> 200
after reload /api/offscale/ws -> CONNECTED | /core -> 200
after remove /api/offscale/ws -> refused | /core -> 200
```
So **nothing needs a restart, for either table.** A plugin owning a socket is possible from the start.
`reload` wants the whole option set, so `fetch` is passed alongside `routes`.
`[open]` Whether connections already open across a `reload` survive it was not tested. Worth knowing
before a plugin install can interrupt somebody's terminal.
The two tables remain two lists, which is the same seam as the totality bug below.
### What this means for `assertCapabilityTotality`
It can no longer be only a boot check, because the mount set changes after boot. The question moves to
**per rebuild**: `buildApp()` is the one place routes are mounted, so it is the one place to assert that
every mounted route has a permission — and to refuse the swap if one does not. Same invariant, asserted
where mounting actually happens instead of once at start-up.
Two things it must survive, both live today:
- The premise in `sidecar-app-store.md` that "every API route stays mounted regardless" is **retired**. An
uninstalled plugin's routes are not mounted, so nothing can reach them.
- The check is currently **fed the wrong list**`Object.keys(handlers)` from `server.tsx`, while Bun
serves the _route table_, and the two diverged when plugins were switched off. Moving the assertion into
`buildApp()` fixes this by construction for Hono routes, and leaves the websocket table as the part that
still needs pointing at reality.
---
## Permissions
A plugin declares capabilities. **A plugin may declare `app`, and nothing else.**
`CapabilityKind` is `core | app | confined | execution | admin`. `core` means _every account, not
deniable_, so a third-party manifest naming its own kind is a privilege-escalation surface: "malicious
plugin declares itself core" is an ungated grant to every user. `core`, `execution` and `admin` stay the
platform's to assign.
### The platform grants read or write. Everything richer is the plugin's own job
The platform's contract is exactly what it already has and no more: **a role holds `read` or `write` on a
capability**, stored in `role_capabilities`, enforced by the gate. `read` permits safe methods anywhere in
the surface; `write` permits everything.
Anything beyond that — who may see whose rows, per-user isolation, ownership of individual records,
visibility rules of any kind — is **implemented inside the plugin**, by the plugin's author. It is not the
platform's responsibility and the platform should not grow machinery for it. A plugin knows what its data
means; the platform only knows whether this account got through the door.
### Offscale v1 uses that model exactly, with nothing added
One shared resource, role-gated:
- **read** — sees what the owner sees: the owner's registered servers, nodes, users, keys, policy
- **write** — can change them, including deleting a server the owner registered
The second is genuinely dangerous, and deliberately allowed. The stored credential is a Headscale **admin**
key that can delete every node on a tailnet, and there is no read-only version of it. So `write` on
offscale is close to full control of the tailnet — which is the owner's decision to make, and the expected
use is read for most roles. Say Developers get `read` and nobody gets `write`.
Two implementation consequences, both inside the plugin:
1. **The queries stop scoping by the caller.** Every one takes the caller's `userId` today —
`listHeadscaleServers(userId)`, `getActiveHeadscaleCredentials(userId)` — and the schema is per-user
because of it. Under this model a member sees the **owner's** rows, so those resolve to the owner's id
always. The per-user shape stays in the table, unused, and becomes the seam if isolation is ever wanted.
2. **Two POSTs are really reads, and must be declared `readOnlyWrites`:**
- `POST /ssh-test` — a reachability probe that mutates nothing
- `POST /policy/assist` — proposes a document and, emphatically, never saves one
Without them a read-level account cannot test a connection or draft a policy, which reads as a broken
feature rather than a withheld permission. Everything else — activate, rename, tags, routes, expire,
delete, policy `PUT` — is a genuine write.
### Music is where the richer model gets designed
Offscale is deliberately the simple case. **The next plugin extracted is most likely music, and that is
the right place to develop the in-plugin visibility system** — it has genuinely per-user data (favourites,
playlists, now-playing) sitting on top of a genuinely shared one (a single global library index, noted in
`TODO.md` as one household, one library). So "whose is this row" has a real and non-uniform answer there,
where offscale's is just "the owner's".
Not designed yet, and deliberately not designed here. Recorded so the intent survives.
### Three different things are called "capability" here
A manifest needs three names, not one:
1. `capabilities/registry.ts`**permissions** (`headscale`, `vpn`)
2. `$OFFICER_ROOT/capabilities/` — the **file-based item store** (skills, tools, tasks)
3. `sidecar-registry` `capabilities: ['music']`**routing keys** for `sendCommand`
Offscale needs (1) and (3), and not (2).
---
## Secrets
Two stores, and a plugin author will reach for the wrong one unless told:
- **plugin-global keys** → the secret store (`officer_db/src/secret-store.ts`, real: `getKey(purpose)`,
`hasKey`, `retiredKeys`). Purpose-keyed encryption and signing keys, not arbitrary values.
- **per-user credentials** → `service_connections`, which already does the hard part: the row is keyed
`(userId, service)` and **a NULL `url` means "inherit the instance"**, so a member structurally cannot
see or supply the URL. `service` is free text with no namespacing yet — that needs solving before third
parties touch it.
Offscale's own coupling is small and instructive. `headscale/queries.ts` imports exactly two things from
the host:
```ts
import { db } from '../db'; // the connection
import { encryptSecret, decryptSecret } from '../crypto'; // at-rest encryption, 10 uses
```
A plugin cannot carry its own `db` (it must share the connection to reference `users.id`) and should not
carry its own crypto (the key lives in the platform's store). **So those two are provided to a plugin
rather than imported by it.** That is the first concrete piece of the plugin↔host API, and it fell out of
the pilot rather than being invented.
---
## `/api/vpn` is being deleted
Officer had two headscale surfaces:
| | `/api/vpn` | `/api/headscale` |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| capability | `vpn`, kind `app` — grantable to members | `headscale`, kind `admin` — owner only |
| purpose | enrol your own device | the tailnet: machines, routes, ACLs |
| surface | one route, `POST /enroll` | the whole admin API |
`POST /api/vpn/enroll` was one-tap enrollment for a phone already signed into Officer. **It has no caller
anywhere.** Verified against the mobile monorepo:
1. `enrollVpn()` has one call site, `useVpnScreen.ts:617`, inside `enroll()`
2. `enroll()` is reached only via `if (embedded) await enroll()`
3. `embedded` is optional and defaults to `false`
4. `VpnScreen` is rendered in exactly one place — `apps/offscale/src/App.tsx` — which never passes it
`apps/mobile` and `apps/headscale` have zero references to `enrollVpn`, `VpnScreen` or `api/vpn`. Neither
does the Officer web app. The live database holds no `vpn` grants.
**And it will never come back.** Offscale is permanently standalone: no login, no backend calls, no
dependency on Officer or the platform. The reasoning is the app's own and it is sound — _the thing that
gets you to the platform cannot itself need the platform_, or a broken tailnet locks you out of both.
### Everything collapses to one namespace
`/api/offscale/*`. The comment in `vpn/router.ts` claiming "the path is a contract" no longer binds: the
contract has no counterparty.
**The invite flow stays and does not need the mobile app changed.** `claimInvite` calls
`${invite.base}/api/v1/enroll/claim` — the **Companion** on the server, at a base URL carried in the
invite link. `/api/v1/` is Headscale's own namespace. The phone never talks to Officer for invites.
- **phone → Companion** — untouched by anything here
- **web admin → Officer → sidecar** — ours to rename freely
### There are THREE components, not two
Easy to miss, and worth stating because two of them contain the word "enroll":
| Component | Repo | Enrolment surface |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Officer platform | `officerdev/platform` | `/api/offscale/*` — web admin only |
| Mobile suite | `officerdev/monorepo-mobile` | calls the Companion, never Officer |
| **Companion** | `officerdev/offscale-server` | `/api/v1/enroll/*` under basePath `/officer-api` |
The Companion ships beside each Headscale server. Confirmed against its source on 2026-08-14: zero
references to `/api/vpn/*`, and its only outbound calls are the docker socket and its sibling headscale's
`/health`. It never calls Officer and does not use `/api/offscale/*` either.
**`/api/v1/enroll/*` is the Companion's and is not ours to collapse.** The phone claims at
`${invite.base}/api/v1/enroll/claim`, where `invite.base` is the `sidecarOrigin` the Companion itself put
in the invite (`https://<domain>/officer-api`).
**Trap when deleting:** do not delete the sidecar's `enroll.ts`. Line 71 dispatches
`/enroll/invites` to `handleInvitesRoute`, so it is the invite flow's entry point. Only the bare
`POST /_officer/enroll` handler below it is dead.
**A public route is possible if ever needed.** `/api/vault` is already exempt from platform auth
(`EXEMPT_API_PREFIXES`) because Bitwarden clients carry a Vaultwarden bearer rather than a platform JWT.
The exemption must be declared with a reason or the boot check refuses. Not needed today.
**Not an open question — decided.** Removing `vpn` leaves no member-grantable headscale surface, and that
is correct. The invite flow supersedes it completely:
1. the Officer headscale app holds an admin API key for the Headscale server
2. from it the owner mints an **invite** — a URL pointing at the Companion
3. the Companion turns that into the redirect the phone app claims
4. the device joins
That path needs no per-member permission on Officer at all, and it is the one that exists and works.
`/api/vpn/enroll` was the design it replaced, not a capability still waiting for a UI — there never was
one. Do not reintroduce a member-facing enrolment route on the assumption something is missing.
---
## What headscale actually is — the inventory
Read end to end on 2026-08-14. This is what has to move.
### Backend — 2,406 lines
`/api/headscale` is **18 lines**: a pure `createSidecarProxy`, no Headscale knowledge, "must never grow app
logic". Everything is in the sidecar under `/_officer/*`, dispatched by `routes.ts` to eight handlers —
`servers · nodes · users · keys · policy · enroll · ssh-test · companion`.
Three things worth knowing before touching it:
- **Every domain route acts on the _active_ server**, stored in Postgres behind a partial unique index and
never passed as a parameter — so no client can act on a server the owner is not currently looking at.
- **`client.ts` is a quirk-absorption layer, and that is the good part.** The quirks are Headscale's:
uint64 ids arrive as JSON _strings_ (never round-trip through `Number` — it breaks above 2^53), 401/403
bodies are plain text while every other error is JSON, and the gateway uses `DiscardUnknown` so a
misspelled request field makes the call **succeed and do nothing** — which is why mutations read the
object back. One file containing all of it is the model for a plugin's client layer, not something to
undo.
- **The Companion is optional per server** and answers `{available:false, reason}` at HTTP 200. The trick
is distinguishing nginx's HTML 502 (no companion) from the companion's JSON 502 (docker op failed): it
branches on whether the body parses.
Host dependencies: `officerdb` (db + crypto), `DATA_PATH`, `officer-url.mjs`, `createSidecarConnector`,
`createSidecarProxy`, the anthropic proxy's state file, and the `ssh` binary.
### Frontend — 29 files, 27 endpoints
Three registered panels (`headscale-servers`, `headscale-nav`, `headscale-view`, all
`availableOnPanel: false`) inside a locked `WorkspaceView`, with `headscale-view` dispatching on
`useHeadscaleSection()` to eight section views: Servers · Nodes · Users · Keys · Invites · Policy ·
Diagnostics · Console.
It **follows the navigation conventions** — no `usePanelChannel` anywhere, no opaque clicks, the section
lives in `:section` and nowhere else. The one exception is documented and correct: choosing the active
server is a DB write that re-scopes every query, so it stays a button rather than a URL.
The whole frontend↔host coupling, which becomes the plugin API:
| Import | Why it matters |
| --------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `hooks/useClient``useClient`, `getHeaders` | both, not just the client — `useCompanionLogStream` needs raw headers because `EventSource` cannot send `Authorization` |
| `helpers/clipboard``copyToClipboard` | carries the non-secure-context fallback; re-implementing it would silently regress |
| `AppRegistryMeta` | the panel-contribution contract |
| `officerdev``WorkspaceView`, `LayoutNode` | needs `appTypes: {allowed, fallback}` and `locked` |
| `state/useDashboardState` | per-user layout, backed by `/api/dashboards`, a `core` capability — stays host-provided |
| `../Terminal/Terminal``TerminalView` | **the awkward one** — a code dependency on another panel app |
### `assist.ts` travels, but stays unwired
The ACL-drafting assistant was written and never tested. **Carry it into the plugin, do not delete it, and
do not wire it up** — it is there as a marker that the idea exists, to be finished or removed deliberately
later. Do not tidy it away as unused code.
---
## The manifest — proposal
Written against offscale rather than invented in the abstract, on the principle that a field list designed
from nothing includes what nothing needs and misses what is awkward. The field set grows per plugin; this
is the floor, not the ceiling.
```ts
// plugins/offscale/manifest.ts
export const manifest = {
/** Constant today. The one input to `mountPrefix()`, and the seam third parties hang off later. */
publisher: 'officerdev',
/** The plugin's own semver. Updates compare against this. */
version: '1.0.0',
/** Which platforms this build is good for. Refused at install when it does not match. */
platform: '>=1.0.0 <2.0.0',
label: 'Offscale',
summary: 'Your tailnet — machines, users, pre-auth keys and access policy',
icon: 'Network',
color: '#818cf8',
// Named `permissions`, NOT `capabilities`. That word already means three different things here — the
// permission registry, the officer-items store, and the sidecar's routing keys — and a fourth would be
// one too many. `permissions` is accurate and free: the old table of that name went in 044aacf4.
permissions: [
{
key: 'offscale',
label: 'Offscale',
description: 'The tailnet: machines, routes and ACLs',
/** Owner-only, or grantable to members. The whole distinction a plugin needs. */
ownerOnly: true,
},
],
} as const;
```
### THE RULE: every plugin route renders a Workspace with at least one panel
Exclusionary, and enforced by shape rather than by review. A plugin **does not render a screen.** It
contributes panels and says how they are arranged; the shell renders `WorkspaceView` around them.
```
web/panels.ts exports appRegistryMetas — at least one panel
web/layout.ts exports defaultLayout — how they are arranged
```
Both are required the moment `web/` exists. Missing either and the plugin is **refused at discovery**, by
name and with the reason:
```
probeplug: has a web/ directory but is missing web/layout.ts.
Every plugin route renders a Workspace: contribute panels and a layout, not a screen.
```
There is deliberately no way to export a component. A plugin that could would be free to render a bare
div, a full-page form, its own navigation — and the platform would become a shell hosting strangers'
layouts rather than one application. Non-compliance is not refused so much as **unrepresentable**: there
is nowhere to put a screen.
The shell registers the pair `<prefix>` and `<prefix>/:section`, exactly as the core screens do
(`/headscale/:section`), so a plugin's sections stay addressable, linkable and cmd-clickable. Panels read
`useParams` independently — nothing is passed between them, so they cannot disagree. `appTypes.allowed`
is pinned to that plugin's own panel keys, so a persisted layout naming something else falls back rather
than rendering another plugin's panel inside this one.
### Everything the tree can say, the tree says
The manifest holds only what a directory listing genuinely cannot tell you: an identity fact, or something
a human chose. Everything structural is convention, and **presence is the declaration**:
| Path | Means |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| _the directory name_ | `appName``plugins/offscale/` **is** the id, so it cannot disagree with where the code sits |
| `sidecar/index.ts` | there is a sidecar; PM2 gets an entry. `.mjs` instead means node — see below |
| `api/router.ts` | there is a backend router, mounted at `mountPrefix(manifest)` |
| `db/schema.ts` | there are tables; pushed on install, every name prefixed `offscale_` |
| `web/Router.tsx` | there is a frontend; its default export mounts at `<prefix>/*` |
| `web/panels.ts` | it contributes panels; exports `appRegistryMetas` |
The dock tile and the page title need no fields either — the tile is `{ label, icon, color, to:
mountPrefix(manifest) }` and the title is `label`, all of which are already above. Writing them again was
duplication that could only ever drift.
**The runtime is the file extension.** `sidecar/index.mjs` runs under node, `sidecar/index.ts` under bun.
Implicit, but it is the rule this repo already follows — `officer-pty` is `pty/index.mjs` under node
because node-pty is a native module built against Node's ABI, and everything else is bun. Better than a
field that can contradict the file it describes.
### Install asks nothing, and that is the default
Offscale needs **none** of the install fields the current app-store catalogue carries — no `modes`, no
`existingFields`, no `configFields`, no `composeTemplate`, no `members`. There is no Docker to provision
and no external service to point at.
Its install is the whole of it: put the code there, push the schema, start the sidecar, swap the routes.
Available immediately. Everything else is configuration the user does **afterwards, inside the app** — a
Headscale server is registered at `/offscale/servers` and lands in `offscale_servers`, which is already
how it works today.
So the rule is **a plugin installs with no questions unless it says otherwise**, and the prompting
machinery (the three install shapes in `sidecar-app-store.md`) gets designed against the first extracted
plugin that actually needs Docker or a remote instance. That was part of why offscale is the right pilot:
it exercises the mounting, the schema and the sidecar without the install flow being a variable too.
### Dropped from the first draft
- **`dependsOn`** — nothing read it and nothing enforced it. Both of offscale's dependencies already
explain themselves where it matters (`assistant_unavailable`; "no SSH host configured"). A field whose
only job is to be displayed, that nothing displays, is stale the first time anyone looks at it. Add it
when something consumes it.
- **`kind`** — see below.
- **`sidecar` / `schema` / `frontend` objects** — all convention now.
`[open]` A plugin with a frontend that should NOT get a dock tile has no way to say so: `web/` present
means a tile. Fine for offscale; add a flag the first time something needs it.
### `admin` has to be allowed, and the pilot proved it immediately
The earlier rule here was "a plugin may declare `app`, and nothing else". **That is wrong, and offscale is
the counterexample**: its capability is `kind: 'admin'` — owner-only — and it should stay that way.
The distinction is direction. `core` means _every account, undeniable_, so a plugin claiming it grants
itself to everyone: escalation. `admin` means _owner only_, which is a plugin **restricting** itself, and
nothing is gained by forbidding it.
Corrected rule:
| Kind | May a plugin declare it? | Why |
| ----------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `app` | yes | the ordinary grantable surface |
| `admin` | yes | self-restriction, never an escalation |
| `core` | **no** | every account, not deniable — an ungated grant to everyone |
| `execution` | **no** | runs as the owner's OS user; the platform's to assign |
| `confined` | **no** | implies a Linux identity the platform provisions |
### One function decides the prefix
`publisher` is the only input, so first-party and third-party cannot become two code paths:
```ts
const mountPrefix = (m: Manifest) =>
m.publisher === 'officerdev' ? `/${m.appName}` : `/p/${m.publisher}/${m.appName}`;
```
Used for both `/api/...` and the frontend route. Nothing else in the codebase may branch on provenance.
### Notes on the fields
- **`sidecar.runtime`** exists because `officer-pty` runs under node for node-pty's native ABI while
everything else is bun. One plugin already needs it, so it is not speculative generality.
- **`platform`** is the compat range, and it presumes the platform gains a version. It has none today;
1.0 is expected before anyone outside Officer Dev writes a plugin.
- **`dependsOn`** is deliberately not enforced. Code dependencies need no declaration — a plugin builds
inside the workspace, so `import { TerminalView }` simply resolves — and service dependencies already
degrade. This is for the human reading the store.
- **No `health`.** Deferred; process-online is what the store knows and that is enough for now.
- **No `migrations`.** Deferred; a field can be added without redesign.
- **No permission list.** A plugin calls the API with the user's token and the user's permissions.

## What is built — complete, as of 2026-08-15
**Offscale is a plugin, and nothing in the system is a stub.** Validated by the owner against the live
server across repeated install / enable / disable / uninstall cycles, checking PM2 and the frontend each
time.
| Piece | Where |
| --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Manifest, `mountPrefix`, validation | `servers/plugins/manifest.ts` |
| Discovery by convention | `servers/plugins/discover.ts` |
| Disk ⋈ database, mounts, dock manifests | `servers/plugins/mount.ts` |
| Install runner, four verbs, streamed | `servers/plugins/install.ts` |
| PM2 ecosystem entry | `servers/plugins/ecosystem.ts` |
| Schema barrel + `db:push` | `servers/plugins/schema.ts` |
| `Plugins.gen.tsx` + `Bun.build` | `servers/plugins/generate.ts` |
| `buildHonoApp` / `rebuildHonoApp` | `servers/hono.ts` |
| Capability registration | `capabilities/registry.ts``setPluginCapabilities` |
| Install state | `plugin_installs` |
| The screen | `/plugins`, two panels, SSE log |
| The reference plugin | `plugins/example/` |
| **The first real plugin** | `plugins/offscale/` — 45 files |
Nothing needs a restart. Routes swap by rebuilding the Hono app, the sidecar gets a PM2 entry, the
frontend is regenerated and rebuilt in ~3s, capabilities are registered before routes mount, and the
whole thing survives a restart because boot regenerates and mounts before `serve()`.
### Three bugs the extraction found
Worth recording because none were visible from reading:
1. **Install started the sidecar before mounting.** `createSidecarProxy` learns its port from a one-shot
`<name>:server` event and subscribes when the plugin's router is first imported — at mount. So the
announcement fired into a void: process online, routes mounted, every request `503 sidecar not
available`. It would have hit every plugin with an HTTP sidecar; `example` never caught it because it
has no listener to announce. Install and enable now mount first.
2. **The built SPA had no Tailwind.** `bunfig.toml` declares the plugin under `[serve.static]`, which
applies to Bun's static serving and not to a programmatic `Bun.build()`.
3. **The build could destroy itself.** Clearing `build/` before building meant a failed build left
nothing, and two overlapping builds could delete each other's shell. It now stages and swaps.
### Still open
- **Websocket providers.** `server.reload({ routes })` is proven but not called; Bun's route table is
still the hardcoded providers. No plugin owns a socket yet.
- **Totality across plugin routes.** `PROTECTED_API_PREFIXES` is still the core list, and the check reads
`Object.keys(handlers)` while Bun serves the route table. The assertion wants moving into
`buildHonoApp`, which is now the single place routes are mounted.
- **Two dock sources.** The app store keeps its own catalogue, so tiles come from there and from the
plugin system. One when the app store is rebuilt on this.
- **Members.** Offscale is `ownerOnly` — read/write for members needs its queries resolving to the
OWNER's rows rather than the caller's, which is a change inside the plugin.
---
## The state of the app store, as found
It **is** the plugin system, roughly 90% built, with one structural hole.
`ecosystem.config.cjs` is generated once at setup and **nothing appends to it on install**, so the
installer's final step runs `pm2 start ecosystem.config.cjs --only officer-jellyfin`, matches no app, and
silently does nothing. Acknowledged in `app-store/pm2.ts:23-29`:
> _"Installing a plugin has to append its entry here before starting it — that is the plugin system's job
> and it is not built."_
Net: **nothing in the catalogue installs end-to-end today.** Containers come up, `service_connections` is
written, assets publish, the dock tile appears — and the sidecar never starts.
Also found:
- The `schema` install step is a **logged no-op** (`effects.ts:117-124`). Every table still ships via
`bun db:push`.
- Of 8 entries declaring a compose template, **only 2 exist on disk** (`transmission`, `vaultwarden`).
`slskd` has an icon and nothing else. `catalogue.test.ts` asserts a template _name_ is declared but never
that the directory exists.
- `hono.ts` has **28 routers mounted and 15 commented out**; `officer_db/src/schema.ts` has **11 commented
schema exports** under "uncomment when the plugin is installed". Today, installing a plugin literally
means editing two files and rebuilding.
- `catalogue.test.ts` asserts every entry's process has a matching `src/servers/sidecar/<dir>`. A plugin in
its own repository has no such directory, so that test inverts — as `sidecar-app-store.md` predicted.
- A **dead, unrelated** plugin system still exists: `GET /server-settings/plugins` scans
`src/workspaces/plugins/`, which does not exist, so it always returns `[]`. `PluginsSection.tsx` still
renders against it. Not to be confused with any of the above.
---
## Where the code lives
`plugins/offscale` on `gitea.officer.dev` — private, default branch `main`, topic `officer-plugin`.
The `plugins` org exists because Gitea has **no nested organizations** (verified: no `parent` field on the
org object), so `<owner>/<repo>` is the only real namespace it has. Topics work and are searchable, and are
used in addition rather than instead — they span orgs, which matters because browser extensions under
`extensions/` may become plugins later.
---
## Open questions
1. ~~**Frontend code is the hard one.**~~ **Answered** — see "How the frontend ships". Build to `build/`,
rebuild on install, one generated `Plugins.tsx`, same origin. No federation, no import maps, no iframe:
everything compiles together and a plugin changes what "everything" is. The developer builds inside a
platform checkout, so dev-time and build-time are the same mechanism.
2. **Migrations and versioning.** A plugin needs a version and a platform-compatibility range, and
something has to apply schema changes over time. Cheap now, miserable to retrofit.
3. ~~**Health, distinct from enabled.**~~ **Deferred, deliberately.** A sidecar can be online while the
thing it exists to talk to is unreachable — offscale's own `/servers/:id/health` is exactly that
question. But process-online covers the common failure, every plugin that needs more surfaces it in its
own UI, and this is a manifest field that can be added later without redesign. Revisit in a distant
future, not before.
4. ~~**No inter-plugin dependencies.**~~ **Overtaken by evidence.** That measurement was of _schemas_ and is
still true there; at runtime the pilot has two — `assist` → anthropic-proxy (service) and `ConsoleView`
`TerminalView` (code). The rule became "may depend, must degrade" — see "Dependencies between
plugins". What is still open is the **code** kind: either `TerminalView` becomes host API, or the
Console section does not travel with the plugin.
5. **`service_connections.service` namespacing** before third parties touch it.
6. **`officer-anthropic-proxy`** — one plugin, two sidecars.
7. **Gitea is installed but invisible.** Containers `gitea` and `gitea-postgres` run, `officer-gitea` is
not in PM2, and there is no `sidecar_installs` row — it predates the store. "Already there, but not by
us" needs an answer, and the store deliberately refuses to adopt directories it did not create.
