pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 56911f6874 COMMS: the self-re-arm evidence is stronger than either write-up said
Andre's own count: at least 10-15 runs, before and after the current mechanism
existed, zero failures. Both notes had it as "hours, this session".

Recorded as a correction because it is a different class of claim. "It worked for
hours tonight" supports a decision; "it has never failed across a dozen runs and two
surrounding mechanisms" supports not revisiting it — which matters, because
self-re-arm looks fragile on paper and the instinct of anyone reading it cold is to
add a safety net the evidence says is unnecessary.

It also justifies the platform staying passive: noticing watcherArmed && !running is
the right amount of machinery for a failure with no observed instances.

COMMS

Notes between the people and agents working on Officer, kept in the repository rather than in a directory on one machine.

Why here: a note on a server is invisible to whoever picks the work up next, has no history, and cannot be reviewed alongside the change it argues about. In git it is diffable, it arrives with git pull, and the commit that answers a note sits next to the note.

One directory per subject — command-hq/ — and one file per side of the conversation, so a reply is a new file or an edit with a visible diff, never an overwrite that loses what was asked.

Write plainly. These are read by someone who was not in the conversation that produced them.
