The harness answered every question itself, instantly, with "The user did not answer the questions." — before the card had painted, let alone been read. The agent then reasoned about a refusal that never happened: on 2026-08-19 it asked the same question three times in a row while the answers sat on the screen. The web UI already worked around it by rendering the card ungated and sending the click back as an ordinary chat message. That got an answer through, but the agent read it as a new instruction arriving from nowhere rather than as the reply to what it asked, and nothing could distinguish a live question from one answered last week — every replayed transcript rendered its old questions as clickable. A PreToolUse hook is the fix, and it has to be a hook rather than canUseTool: under bypassPermissions — which is every session here — the SDK shadows the callback and never calls it. Measured against 0.2.59: a bypassing session's AskUserQuestion reached the hook and never reached canUseTool. Hooks run regardless of permission mode. The hook parks on a promise keyed by the harness's own tool_use_id, and returns `deny` with the human's answer as the reason — which the harness feeds back as the tool result verbatim. "Deny" reads wrong and is right: what it denies is the tool's ability to answer for the user, and what replaces its output is what the user actually said. Held open for 150s in testing with the turn completing normally, so a person has time to think. Keying on tool_use_id rather than an invented id means no new durable event: the questions are already in the session log as an ordinary tool:start, and the answer arrives as its tool:result. One source of truth, replay included — which is what re-enables gating the card on `output`, and with it the staleness fix. The two tests that pinned the old ungated behaviour asserted the workaround as the contract; they now pin the reversal, including a pre-fix transcript reading as settled, which it is. Unanswered questions settle like plans do: 20 minutes, every session-ending path draining them first, and wording that tells the agent the question is still on the user's screen and must not be asked again. Mobile (Butler) has the same workaround and is not fixed here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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 fromfull − light. Those files are gone, andcatalogue.test.tswas 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_KEYis now the per-purposewalletkey.push-notifications.md— "agreed design, 2026-07-31". Notify is a plugin and unmounted.chat-session-lifetime.md,chat-ui-walkthrough.md— referenceofficer-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.

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.
