pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 aac8af5e1f one attempt per release, and the rule is code rather than a paragraph
The first watcher had an unbounded retry in it. A release whose deploy failed left no .done file, so the
next poll two minutes later spawned a fresh headless agent, and the one after that, all night, each one
costing money. The loop was careful and its logging was honest; the defect was structural.

It is structural because the loop is written FRESH by an agent every time one arms. A rule that lives only
in the prompt gets re-implemented from scratch each time, and the wrong implementation is the one that
looks right: test the .done file. That file only exists on success, so testing it is exactly the retry
storm.

So scripts/deploy-claim.sh owns it. `claim <version>` exits 0 once and 1 for ever after, whatever became
of the attempt that held it — a failed release is not retried, it is looked at. Handing the claim back is
`rm -rf` by a person, on purpose; a loop cannot undo its own claim, which is what makes the storm
impossible rather than unlikely.

Three choices in it worth keeping:

- `mkdir` is the claim. One atomic syscall that both tests and takes, with no window between checking and
  acting — two pollers a second apart is not hypothetical when a watcher gets restarted.
- Bash, not bun. The thing that stops a retry storm must not need a healthy checkout; a deploy that dies
  on `bun install` is precisely when it has to work.
- A version is digits and dots or it is refused. It arrives off a git tag and is concatenated into a path.

A pre-existing .done with no claim beside it still counts as deployed, so deploy/2026.08.21.01 — rolled
out by hand before any of this existed — is not re-attempted.

docs/servers.md corrected from the commander's own report, which was right and specific: on macbookpro
APPEND /opt/homebrew/bin for bun rather than replacing the PATH (this file said "do not help the PATH",
which is right for pm2 and is what made plugins:update fail there), `ls` is aliased to an eza that is not
installed, plugins:update bounces every sidecar before the plan's own restart step, and fofos cannot
publish affordances for what is probably the same ownership problem as its capabilities sync.

Servers — the running list

Every machine the owner runs, how to reach it, and what of Officer is on it. Kept here so an orchestrator ("pull and update every platform", "restart officer everywhere", "which host is behind") has one place to read rather than a fact re-derived per session.

Verified 2026-08-21 from officer-dev by SSH and pm2 jlist, except where marked assumed.

How access works

All of it is over the tailnet, key-based, no ~/.ssh/config, no passwords, no jump hosts, no ports.

The login user is NOT always pastilhas. It is per host and it is in the table below. deadpool runs as br and always will — the owner's key is authorised for that account. An orchestrator that hard-codes a username fails on that host and will fail on the next one like it.

ssh alpha                       # pastilhas, implied
ssh br@deadpool-rezio-bridge    # not implied

Officer platforms

Seven, all running.

Host Tailnet IP Login Checkout Domain
officer-dev 100.64.0.13 pastilhas ~/officer-dev/platform platform.officer.dev
alpha 100.64.0.1 pastilhas ~/officerdev/platform officer.pastilhas.dev
fofos 100.64.0.17 pastilhas ~/officerdev/platform officer.fofosfluffybastards.com
macbookpro 100.64.0.9 pastilhas ~/projects/officer-suite/platform macbookpro.pastilhas.dev
edge-pertento-bridge 100.64.0.15 pastilhas ~/officerdev/platform edge.pertento.ai
production-pertento-bridge 100.64.0.12 pastilhas ~/officerdev/platform officer.pertento.ai
deadpool-rezio-bridge 100.64.0.21 br /home/br/officerdev/platform officer.rezio.dev [pending]

Only platform.officer.dev is public (77.42.39.155). The rest resolve to tailnet addresses and are reachable from inside only.

Names that disagree with themselves

Three hosts answer to more than one name, and tailscale status is not always the one in use:

In tailscale status Also The machine's own hostname
edge-bridge edge-pertento-bridge edge-pertento
gitea-bridge production-pertento-bridge PPROD
deadpool-rezio-bridge — deadpool

The middle column is what to use. edge-bridge and gitea-bridge are the old names and are being retired; anything reading tailscale status will still see them.

Things that will catch out an orchestrator

All verified, none cosmetic.

  • The checkout path differs per host — four distinct shapes across seven machines. Take it from PM2: the officer process's pm_cwd. alpha carries a SECOND, stale checkout at ~/dockers/officer.dev/platform, and pulling that one succeeds while changing nothing.
  • pm2 is not on a non-interactive PATH. It lives under nvm, and nvm's setup is in .zshrc, which a login shell does not read. Use ssh <host> '$SHELL -ic "pm2 jlist"'. -lc is not enough — it reports "command not found" on machines where pm2 is plainly running, which cost two wrong conclusions on 2026-08-21.
  • On macbookpro, APPEND to the PATH for bun. Never replace it. This said "do not help the PATH" until 2026-08-21, and that was half right in a way that cost a deploy step: pm2 is only on the interactive shell's PATH, so replacing it breaks pm2 — but bun is at /opt/homebrew/bin/bun and .zshrc does not put that directory on the interactive PATH either, so bun run plugins:update fails command not found before it runs a line. export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin for that one command shadows nothing: pm2 stays at ~/.local/bin/pm2 and node at node@22. Run pm2 as a separate command.
  • $SHELL -ic on macbookpro aliases ls to eza, which is not installed. A probe using ls reports a missing file that is plainly there. Use command ls, or a non-interactive shell for file tests.
  • The git remotes differ. fofos pulls over HTTPS; the others over SSH. Never assume a URL — pull in place.
  • A "dirty tree" means TRACKED changes. git status --porcelain counts untracked files, and a stray script a fast-forward could never touch is not a reason to skip a host. Use --untracked-files=no.
  • macbookpro is a laptop. It may be asleep. Unreachable is a skip with a note, not a failed deploy.
  • bun run plugins:update restarts sidecars itself, printing sidecar: started per plugin — on alpha that is twelve processes bouncing during the plugins step, before any restart the plan asked for. Not a fault, but a deploy report that lists only officer under "restarted" is understating what moved.
  • fofos cannot sync its capabilities, and could not publish gitea affordances on 2026-08-21: dubious ownership from git and EACCES … mkdir '…/capabilities/affordances/officerdev'. Both point at that capabilities checkout being owned by somebody other than pastilhas. Deliberately not papered over with a safe.directory entry until somebody has run one stat on it. Unexplained.

Not platforms — ignore for now

A checkout may be present; no officer process runs on any of these. Whether they are retired, staging or half-installed is not established — ask before treating them as targets.

Host Tailnet IP
headscale 100.64.0.2
omega 100.64.0.3
gateway 100.64.0.4

Other machines on the tailnet

  • Not SSH-reachable (port 22 refused): edge-dns (100.64.0.8), officer-bridge (100.64.0.5). Assumed service-only containers — not confirmed. edge-bridge was listed here until 2026-08-21 and was wrong: its SSH was simply down at the time of checking.
  • Client devices, not servers: iphone16, andres-ipad, pixel9a, plus other people's devices in the tailnet (diogos-ipad, iphone-diogo, iphone-bruno, fedras-iphone, guilhermes-macbook-pro, macbook-pro-de-joo).

Known wrong, waiting on someone else

  • officer.rezio.dev resolves to 100.64.0.4 — that is gateway, not deadpool (100.64.0.21). Not merely unavailable: pointed at a different machine, so it will serve the wrong box the moment gateway answers on 443. Ports 80 and 443 are closed on deadpool, so nothing fronts it yet. Waiting on the domain owner.

Keeping this list true

It rots when a server is added, a checkout moves, a platform is retired, a remote changes or a login differs. Re-verify with the four commands it was built from:

tailscale status
ssh <login>@<host> '$SHELL -ic "pm2 jlist"'   # the officer entry's pm_cwd
ssh <login>@<host> 'git -C <cwd> remote get-url origin'
getent hosts <domain>
