pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 19bbbab907 publishing a plugin is pushing a tag
Three mechanisms where there should be one. The catalogue was filled by hand, and each host separately
polled twenty-one repositories with git to work out whether a release existed — a second source of
truth for a fact one place already knew. Shipping photos 2026.09.03.02 correctly and watching alpha
not notice for ten minutes is what started this.

The timer. scripts/marketplace-cron.sh, every minute, on the machine that publishes. Safe now only
because the previous commit made the sync read tags instead of working trees; over the old one this
would have published somebody's afternoon on a schedule. Nothing is written unless the release commit
differs from the one already published, so a tick with nothing to do is one query, one fetch per repo
and no writes — about 2.7s. One timestamped summary line per tick regardless, because a fresh timestamp
is the only thing that separates "nothing to publish" from "the timer died"; a named line only for a
plugin that moved.

The badge. `updateable` now compares the tag at HEAD with the tag the catalogue says is newest —
difference, not ordering, since parsing 2026.08.27.01 works right up until somebody tags v2 and then
fails silently. refreshRemote() and its two-minute window are gone with the polling they existed to
paper over. The git rule stays as the fallback for a plugin the store cannot speak for: an unregistered
checkout, or an unreachable store. That case now reads whatever refs the last pull left, which is the
accepted cost of not making every machine poll every repository forever.

fetchCatalogue()'s cache went from five minutes to one. It only drew tiles before; now the wait for a
release to appear would have been the sync's minute plus its five.

Also: the Update button names its destination whenever a release is known, not only on `new-release`.
An untagged checkout reports `untagged` and used to lose the tag with it, so the button said "Update"
and the owner had to guess where it landed — the marketplace knows, even for a checkout that has never
fetched it.

Verified: forced a stale row, the timer republished it inside 60s and logged one line. Badge decisions
checked against the live catalogue for seven plugins, including the two shapes that matter — at a tag
the store agrees with, and untagged with a release known only to the store. 9 release tests pass, 100%
of release.ts covered, four of them new and all against real repositories.

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.

  • sidecar-topology.md — "ecosystem.config.cjs is the source of truth". It is generated now, and holds six processes.
  • sidecar-app-store.md — derives the catalogue from full − light. Those files are gone, and catalogue.test.ts was rewritten.
  • sidecar-bootstrapping.md — "20 PM2 entries, 18 sidecar dirs". Six entries now.
  • mobile-api-keys.md — partly corrected; recheck the origin-checking claims.
  • wallet-key-custody.md — VAULT_STORE_KEY is now the per-purpose wallet key.
  • push-notifications.md — "agreed design, 2026-07-31". Notify is a plugin and unmounted.
  • chat-session-lifetime.md, chat-ui-walkthrough.md — reference officer-agent, renamed.

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.

  • sidecar-audit-2026-07.md (1,377 lines)
  • claude-sidecar-isolation.md — records the officer-claude → officer-agent rename that preceded tonight's officer-agent → officer-claude-code
  • open-threads-after-per-user-claude.md
  • two-agent-field-report-2026-08-12.md
  • api-method-changes-2026-08-06.md

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.
