differs from EXTRACT-A-PLUGIN-PROMPT.md in the two ways that matter when
nobody is awake.
it does not say "ask and wait", because there is no one to ask. the five
decisions that would normally be questions are pre-made with reasoning, and it
says to follow a decision even after finding evidence against it — recording
the evidence instead. a half-applied decision is worse than a wrong one
applied consistently.
and it assumes the agent will be restarted mid-run, so it says commit after
every task: a clean tree and a commit message are how the next attempt, quite
possibly the same agent an hour later with no memory of it, knows where it is.
the substantive call is the UI. atelier ships htmx AND a react spa with its own
build, and porting 84 files into panels is not an overnight job. gitea already
solved this exact problem — sidecar serves its own ui, plugin proxies it
same-origin, one panel renders it in an iframe — so the prompt points there and
says to read sidecar/rewrite.ts first, which is where the traps are recorded.
the database decision is deliberately conditional rather than fixed: count the
rows first, fold two empty tables into officer_db, keep the separate database
if either has data. losing someone's generated images to a schema decision at
4am is not a trade worth making unattended.
it opens with a worktree, and says no second agent in this tree. today two
agents with bypassed permissions ended up in one checkout and nothing was lost
only because one of them noticed and stopped.
