pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 3cb39662b5 desktop is a plugin too
Its sidecar, officer-vnc, was already excluded from the light profile, so calling
it core was only the capability kind saying `execution` — which is about who may
reach it, not whether a light install runs it.

Unmounted the same way as the other twelve: `/desktop`, its capability's api and
ws claims, the `desktop` websocket handler and its upgrade route. Implementation
untouched.

Also reverts a mistake from the previous commit. I had commented entries out of
WSData's `provider` union and left `upgradeWs`'s parameter type listing them,
which would have been a type error the moment either was used — and one I cannot
see here, since node_modules is empty and tsgo does not run. Those unions describe
possible values rather than what is served, and neither is a registration. Only
registrations are commented now, which is what was asked for in the first place.

Totality simulated again: 33 live mounts, 5 websockets, zero problems.

// The capability registry: the single enumeration of what this platform can do, and the unit the owner
// grants to a role.
//
// ── Why capabilities and not routes ──
//
// The obvious model is "list the routes a role may call". It does not survive contact with this codebase.
// A sweep of all 100 mutating platform routes on 2026-08-06 found reads permanently stuck on POST for two
// reasons that are not going away: bodies GET cannot carry (`/stt` multipart audio, `/tts`, `/ocr`,
// `/transcribe`), and credentials that must not sit in a query string where access logs, shell history and
// Referer headers capture them (`/tts/voices` apiKey, the four `/test` endpoints, `/local-providers/probe`).
// Five genuinely free conversions were done in e54d71d; the rest are staying. So the METHOD alone cannot
// carry the read/write distinction — hence `readOnlyWrites` below, declared per capability.
//
// The deeper reason is that a route list is not what the owner is deciding. The owner decides "this person
// gets Gitea". A capability is that decision; the prefixes, sockets and screens it expands to are an
// implementation detail that belongs next to the decision rather than in the granting UI.
//
// ── The four kinds, and why `execution` can never be granted ──
//
// core every authenticated account, always. Not grantable because not deniable — signing in
// without them means a broken app, not a restricted one.
// app the grantable surface. This is what the owner hands out per role.
// confined execution-shaped, but the KERNEL enforces the boundary per account. Grantable, and only
// to an account that has a Linux user — see below.
// execution NEVER grantable. Owner only, structurally.
// admin owner only: the platform administering itself, and the owner's own money and network.
//
// ── `confined`, and why it is not just `app` ──
//
// Added 2026-08-11 with per-user Linux accounts (docs/per-user-linux-accounts.md). A confined capability
// touches the filesystem or runs a process, so calling it an `app` would be a lie — but it is no longer
// the OWNER'S filesystem, because the account has its own Linux user, its own home, and the kernel refusing
// everything above it.
//
// The distinction earns its keep in one place: a grant on a confined capability means NOTHING unless the
// account actually has that Linux user. `authorize.ts` drops confined grants for an account with no
// `osUser`, so "granted but unconfined" resolves to no access rather than to the owner's home. That rule
// lives there, once, instead of in each router that would otherwise have to remember it.
//
// Moving a capability from `execution` to `confined` is therefore a claim with a test attached: every path
// it reaches must resolve its directory from the CALLER, not from HOME_DIR.
//
// `execution` is the important one. Everything under it runs as the OWNER'S OS user in the owner's home
// directory: the terminal is a real shell, chat spawns `claude` with --dangerously-skip-permissions, tasks
// run arbitrary scripts, the file browser and code editor read and write the owner's disk, the desktop is
// the owner's physical screen. Granting any of them is not a feature flag, it is co-ownership of the
// machine. There is no level of "read" that makes a shell safe, which is why these have no level at all.
// Revisit only if per-user home confinement is ever solved — and that is a project, not a checkbox.
//
// ── Read by default ──
//
// A grant carries a level, `read` or `write`. `read` permits safe methods (GET/HEAD/OPTIONS) anywhere in
// the capability, plus mutations under `personal` — sub-paths that hold the CALLER'S own data and nothing
// else. Music is the worked example: `/favorites`, `/now-playing` and `/playlists` are already per-caller
// in the sidecar contract because every sidecar request carries `X-Officer-User`. So "may a member write
// here" is a property of the endpoint, not a policy knob someone has to remember to set.
