First report from somebody who is not us. Queue messages in a chat that is working, open a different conversation, come back: gone. Not a bug in the sense of code doing the wrong thing — `ChatPanelInner` is keyed on the session id, so opening another conversation REMOUNTS it, and that key is load-bearing (`useChat` seeds its state from the first session id it sees, so a remount is the honest way to say "this is a different chat"). The queue was local state and died with the mount. It was built for the minute between writing a message and a turn ending; switching away mid-turn was never in that picture. Now it lives in a module-level store, seeded on mount and written through on every change. Losing text somebody typed is the worst thing this could do, and it was doing it silently. ── Keyed by panel AND session ── Two panels can both be on a new chat, where the session id is `new` for both. Keying on the session alone would hand one panel's queue to the other — the same class of mistake wearing the opposite face. ── One decision that was not in the report ── A restored queue now DELIVERS on return if the agent is free. The existing drain only fires when a turn ends, and a remount has no such transition to watch, so without this you would come back to your messages sitting in the tray with nothing about to happen — which is the second report I would get. "These go when the agent is free" is the promise; the agent being free is exactly that case. Only on mount, and only when nothing is running: while a turn IS running the ordinary drain owns them, and firing here too would deliver twice. ── Not persisted, deliberately ── Module state, so it dies with the tab. A queue is a promise about the next minute; restoring one on a page loaded tomorrow would fire a message into a conversation whose context has moved on. Surviving a panel switch is the whole requirement. 11 tests, including the two-panels-on-one-conversation and both-on-a-new-chat collisions. tsgo clean, frontend builds, 898 pass / 7 fail unchanged.

The documentation, triaged
2026-08-13. A map of what is in here, what it is for, and what should happen to it. Made because there are 42 documents and 13,000 lines, and no way to tell from the filenames which describe the system as it is and which are a record of an afternoon in July.
How much I verified: the classifications below are from filenames, status lines, and greps for things that changed on 2026-08-13. Where I actually read the document or checked the code, it says so. The rest is a starting point for a conversation, not a verdict.
Living — these describe the system and must stay true
| doc | state |
|---|---|
working-on-officer.md |
updated 2026-08-13. Operational guide. |
secret-store.md |
updated 2026-08-13. Built; rotation still open. |
install-variants.md |
new. The branch tree, for discussion. |
http-secure-context-audit.md |
new. What breaks over plain http. |
install-container-testing.md |
new. First container pass and its findings. |
per-user-linux-accounts.md |
partly updated. OFFICER_OS_USERS is gone; check the rest. |
navigation-audit.md |
authoritative on routing. Unverified against tonight's route removals. |
workspace-panels.md + workspace-panel-todo.md |
the panel framework. 1,300 lines combined — likely the biggest cleanup here. |
agent-coordination.md |
the north star for panel work. |
deprovision-os-account.md |
implemented; the 'disabled' stage it may mention was deleted tonight. |
Stale — describe things that changed on 2026-08-13
Each of these references something that no longer exists. Not yet corrected.

Historical — a record of a moment, and should stay one
Do not rewrite these to match today's code. They document how a decision was reached, and editing them destroys the reasoning. If they mislead, add a dated header pointing forward.

The opencode cluster — nine documents for one migration
opencode-fork-decision · -parity · -api-2-assessment · -phase0-review · -phase1-report ·
-phase1-review · -serve-migration-plan · -serve-path · -testing-checklist
The migration landed — opencode serve is in the sidecar, verified. So
opencode-serve-migration-plan.md saying "Nothing here is implemented" is false.
This is the clearest consolidation candidate in the whole directory: one document recording what was decided and what shipped, replacing nine that describe stages of getting there. I did not do it because it needs reading all nine, and deleting documents unread is not a thing to do at 4am.
The mobile-dav thread — three documents, one conversation
mobile-dav-provisioning · -feedback · -reply. A correspondence. Almost certainly one document.
Unclassified — I have not looked
design-language-interface · file-sync · jobs-unification · mobile-photo-sync-api ·
nextcloud-replacement · agent-git-identity
The plugin split, which affects most of the above
A core install is six processes. Everything else is a plugin, switched off tonight but present on disk. Most documents here were written when the estate was twenty processes and every one of them was simply "there", so they describe availability that no longer holds.
The useful rewrite is usually one line, not a rewrite: say whether the thing described is core or a plugin, and if a plugin, that it is not mounted on a fresh install.
