pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 5c40d4423d app preview: a panel that points an iframe at a running app
A dashboard can now hold chat, the code editor, the file browser and the app
itself — the last piece of working on a project without leaving Officer.

── Why this is ~200 lines and not 560 ──

The version deleted on 2026-07-31 spawned `bun dev` in a project directory, found
a free port and proxied it under `/api/dev-server-proxy/<id>/`. That prefix is what
cost the money: HTML, JS and CSS rewritten; a script injected into the page to
monkey-patch fetch/XHR/WebSocket so runtime URLs got the prefix too; a Referer
fallback for chunks that resolved at the wrong depth; a websocket bridge for HMR.
All of it faking an origin.

On a machine with a proxy in front — nginx on edge.pertento.ai, wildcard
subdomains — the app is ALREADY served at the root of its own origin, and the
browser is already on the tailnet. So there is nothing to fake and no server side
at all: no route, no socket, and therefore no permission-registry entry.

The old code is not obsolete and is not being thrown away. An install with no
proxy in front still has an app on localhost that the browser cannot reach, and
that is exactly what it solves. It is at `188b45c1^`; the note is in TODO.md.

── What it does ──

Holds a URL per panel, renders it, reloads it, opens it in a real tab. The URL
lives in dashboard state so it survives a reload, and is shared LIVE between header
and body — the header writes and the body reads, so claim-once would mean typing a
URL changed the header and nothing else. The reload counter is deliberately not
persisted: it is a signal.

Reload remounts the iframe by key rather than calling `contentWindow.location
.reload()`, which throws cross-origin. Replacing the element re-requests the URL,
which is the same thing from the outside and the only move the parent is allowed.

`allow-same-origin` is set and has to be: without it the framed app gets an opaque
origin and no localStorage, and it authenticates with a JWT it keeps there.

`normalizeUrl` accepts a bare host as https and refuses javascript:, data: and
blob: — an iframe src with `javascript:` executes in the PARENT's context. The
owner typing in their own panel is not an attacker; it costs one line and removes
the category. 5 tests.

── Two iframe facts worth knowing before testing ──

Storage is PARTITIONED by top-level site, so the login inside the panel is separate
from the login in a tab: expect to sign in once, in the panel.

A page can refuse to be framed (X-Frame-Options, CSP frame-ancestors) and renders
blank with only a console error. If that happens it is nginx's config, not this
code — which is why "open in a new tab" is in the header rather than left to
copying the URL out.

tsgo clean, frontend builds, 851 pass / 7 fail — +5 new, same 7.

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.
