Reported as: leave an AskUserQuestion unanswered for a while and the chat becomes unusable — refresh,
send another message, the agent is stuck.

armStall knew about compaction and about background tasks but not about a pending gate. Parking on a
question or a plan means emitting nothing until somebody answers; that is what parking IS. So the
watchdog could not tell it from a wedged turn, and at 10 minutes against gates that wait 20, it always
won:

  10m  the turn is declared dead, isGenerating goes false, an error is emitted, the session is torn down
  20m  the gate's own timeout would have resolved it truthfully — never reached

That left a ten-minute window to answer. Miss it and the card is still on screen with nothing behind
it, and clicking an answer does nothing at all: an answer's only receipt is the tool:result the gate
emits when it unblocks, and the gate is gone. From the outside that is precisely "unusable, refresh,
send another message".

A session with an outstanding question or plan is now left alone by the watchdog. Not unbounded — each
gate holds its own 20-minute timer and resolves with a sentence written for the agent — and the timer
is re-armed on both resolve paths, the answer and the timeout, so a turn that genuinely wedges AFTER a
question is still caught. armStall skips itself while any gate remains, so answering one of two
questions keeps the reprieve.

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.
