second half of the backend. GET /command-hq/plugin-commanders lists what the
installed plugins offer; POST /commanders takes {plugin, template, config} and
builds one from it.
the list is SEPARATE from GET /commanders, which returns what exists. merging a
thing that runs with a thing that could be made, distinguished by a flag, means
every consumer has to remember which it is holding.
`watch_dir` doubles as the reference path when a template supplies one. asking for
a reference path AND a watch directory is asking the same question twice and
inviting the two answers to disagree.
THREE FILES, EACH A COPY rather than a reference into the plugin:
state/config.env what the owner answered, in the form the watcher sources
watch.sh copied, so plugins:update cannot change the script a commander
is already running — a watcher whose code moves under it while
armed is a thing nobody could debug
AGENTS.md the template's prose, appended to the brief already written
config.env is generated with every value SINGLE-QUOTED, and that is not decoration:
WATCH_DIR is a path somebody typed, and this fleet has directories called `ABOUT US`
and `70´S`. unquoted, the first space ends the assignment and the watcher watches
the wrong folder — with `rm` downstream of that. verified by sourcing both that path
and one containing an apostrophe in a real shell.
THE ARM GUARD LIVES IN armCommandHqWatcher, not in a route. arming is not a button:
it happens when the agent starts a tracked background job and the platform notices.
a check anywhere else is one the agent routes around by simply starting its loop,
which is exactly what it does. a row with no template is unaffected.
verified end to end on the running server: the template listed, a commander created
from it, watch.sh + config.env (mode 600) + the brief on disk, config.env sourcing
cleanly, and the watcher refusing to start when config.env is absent — which is the
configure-before-running rule enforcing itself at the last line of defence.
still to come: the Command HQ section that shows the offers and draws the form.
