pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 75affec091 a commander is identified by its row, not by where it lives
Groundwork for choosing a commander's working directory. Identity was the CWD — every commander shared one
directory, so the directory was the answer and it needed no query. The moment a commander can choose its own,
that test is wrong in BOTH directions: a commander in the platform checkout reads as an ordinary chat, and an
ordinary chat in the old shared directory reads as a commander.

So identity is now the `command_hq_sessions` row, which is the only thing that survives the cwd being free.
The isolation the shared directory provided is no longer carrying anything — the surfaces that needed it now
filter explicitly, which is what made this possible.

Four surfaces moved, and the shape of the change is the same in each: the transcript scanner stops inferring
it and the ROUTE decorates from the rows.

- `listClaudeSessions` says nothing about commanders any more. It is synchronous over a directory scan and
  identity now needs a database read, so `withCommanderFlag` applies it at the caller.
- the sessions list, `/chat/live` and `GET /chat/sessions/:id` each read `listCommandHqSessionIds` once per
  request. A set membership test per row rather than a lookup per row: commanders are few, and the
  alternative turns one list into fifty queries.
- `commanderBlock` resolves the row instead of parsing the account out of the path. It needs the email for
  the record paths, so that is a second read — once per session spawn, beside the affordances and the skills
  index, which are read there for the same reason.

`commanderBlock` had to be hoisted out of `createSession`, which is synchronous, into `spawnClaudeStreaming`,
which is async and already holds the account. Passing it in as a parameter rather than making the whole
session constructor async.

`isCommandersDir` survives but is documented as no longer being the identity test — it remains only for the
places that legitimately care about that specific path: creating it for a new OS account, and as the
historical home of commanders created before this.

A commander mid-first-turn has no row and so reports false for one turn. That is the same turn it must not
arm anything on, and it corrects itself the moment it is filed.

Verified against real data: a filed commander renders the block, an unknown id and a null id both return
null, and the live gate still answers 401.

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.
