TODO.md had reached 1050 lines and 72 open items across 28 sections, read mostly on a phone. It is now a directory: todo/<theme>/<item>.md, one card per file, with frontmatter carrying id, status, created date and order, and the prose body copied across verbatim. TODO.md becomes a generated index (bun run todo:index). Dates: where an item's prose stated one it is used; otherwise its old section's; otherwise 2026-08-20, floored at the day before the split rather than invented. date_source records which. Shaped for a two-way Kanban board, filed as todo/tooling — a card is a file, id is the identity, frontmatter is the machine's half and the body is the owner's.

**VNC mirror can orphan/duplicate x11vnc across sidecar restarts.** FIXED 2026-08-01 in the
|
|
Xvnc rewrite. The diagnosis was right and survived the move off mirroring: the running desktop is
|
|
tracked in module-level state, so a sidecar restart forgot it while the server kept running
|
|
orphaned, and `waitForPort` treated ANY listener on 5900 as success — so the next start reported
|
|
success while the browser talked to the stale process. Now `reclaimPort` frees 5900 (TERM, then
|
|
KILL after 2s) before spawning, and `waitForPort` also fails if the process we spawned has
|
|
exited, so a listener that is not ours can no longer be mistaken for a healthy start.
