pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 530e5880e1 todo: what tonight's deploy work left behind, and two items it closed

Closed:

- fleet/an-orchestrator-that-acts-on-every-server-at — built, and as none of the three shapes it
  proposed. Not a script, not a screen, not a chat capability: an agent handed a written procedure and a
  server list it has to read rather than one baked into it. All three verified facts in the item earned
  their place; two things it did not anticipate are now new items.
- fleet/a-way-to-mark-a-commit-this-one-ships-so-a — built as a TAG, which the item explicitly ruled out.
  The owner reversed it, and the argument that changed his mind is recorded: a codeword can be written by
  accident, because every document about deploying contains it, so the trigger needs rules about where in
  a subject line it sits and a rule like that is one somebody eventually gets wrong.

Opened, all from tonight and all with the evidence attached:

- a deploy verifies pm2 and not that the app serves anything — the commander raised this against itself
- the commander cannot finish its own host, so one machine is always a build behind
- the watcher loop is rewritten by an agent every arming, so its correctness is re-rolled each time
- plugins:update restarts every sidecar, so a report naming only officer understates what moved
- an agent spawned by a background job is invisible in the UI while being perfectly readable
- AskUserQuestion can fail to parse its own call
- a commander opened from /chat loses its commander controls, because isCommander comes from the screen
  rather than the session

Raw Blame History

TODO — the index

Deferred work. The items live in todo/, one file each, grouped by theme; this file is the map over them and is GENERATED — run bun run todo:index after any change rather than editing it here. Format and the two-way-sync contract: todo/README.md.

Context, corrected 2026-08-07. This list used to open by saying Officer was "collapsing from multi-tenant / open-source-ready to a single-user platform", and told you to treat multi-tenant indirection as accidental complexity. That direction was reversed. The permission model shipped on 2026-08-07 to serve a real goal — deploy to the company server, onboard people, give each one their own Gitea account through the platform. Per-user scoping is now a requirement, and the items that proposed deleting it have been removed rather than left to mislead the next reader.

What did NOT reverse: execution permissions (terminal, chat, tasks, files, desktop, browser) run as the owner's OS user and can never be granted. Indirection there really is accidental complexity.
