pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 d56be0301d retire the single-user claim from the docs it outlived
CLAUDE.md asserted "single-user is a hard invariant, not a stage" while
users held six rows and role_capabilities held grants. Every doc that
repeated it is corrected here, in prose and in the code comments that
carried the same claim.

The accurate statement is narrower: one owner who bypasses every check,
other accounts holding only what their role is granted, and a set of
capabilities — terminal, chat, files, tasks, items, desktop, browser — that
are structurally ungrantable because they execute as the owner's OS user.

TODO.md gains a Multi-user section for what the read turned up: no way to
create a second account, dashboards.id colliding across users, authorize.ts
untested, pty/vault/opencode taking no identity, Radicale still owner_only.

claude-sidecar-isolation.md's open question is answered rather than left
open — the per-email spawn model is dead weight, because chat is an
execution capability and no second account can ever reach it.

# AGENTS.md
Guidance for any coding agent working in the Officer platform repo.
**The instructions live in [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md). Read it first — this file only points there.**
Kept separate so agents that look for `AGENTS.md` by convention find the same guidance as those that
look for `CLAUDE.md`, without the two drifting apart.
## Orientation
Officer is a self-hosted platform built around **one owner** (user id 1, role `Super Admin`, who
bypasses every permission check), which since 2026-08-07 also admits **additional accounts holding a
strict subset of it**. Roles are `Admin` / `Member` / `Developer`; what each may reach is decided by
per-role capability grants, resolved on every request.
If a design question turns on "which user", the answer depends on the surface: real for the **app**
capabilities (gitea, music, photos, email, calendar…), and still always **the owner** for anything
that executes code or touches the disk — terminal, chat, tasks, files, desktop, browser are
`kind: 'execution'` and can never be granted. `src/servers/capabilities/registry.ts` is the authority.
**Mounting a router without a registry entry makes the server refuse to boot.** Read the "Capabilities"
section of `CLAUDE.md` before adding one.
This file previously described Officer as strictly single-user with "no tenancy, no roles, no user
management". That was written to correct an *older* drift in the opposite direction — a fictional
multi-user intranet with a user-invitation API — and it overshot. Both are now superseded by the
paragraph above; treat the capability registry as the source of truth over either.
This repo is one of two. The other, `capabilities/`, holds the agent's tasks, tools and skills as
plain files, and is where most changes belong — adding or changing a task needs no code change here
and no restart.
- [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md) — this repo's architecture, conventions and code style
- [`docs/working-on-officer.md`](docs/working-on-officer.md) — the deployment-wide guide: which
directory a change belongs in, how to run and verify it, the task system, and the failure modes
worth knowing about
- `CONVENTIONS.md` — component organisation and React patterns, with rationale
- `TODO.md` — current direction; takes precedence where it disagrees with anything else
Treat the code as the source of truth where anything disagrees with it.
