pastilhasandClaude Opus 4.8 7d8341d3ba note the leftover officer-vnc.service unit in TODO
the hand-installed systemd unit kept a parallel xfce session on :1 alive and
respawned it on every kill, independently of the platform. obsolete now that the
desktop panel mirrors :0; disabled, but the unit file is still on disk.

TODO

Deferred work. Context: Officer is collapsing from multi-tenant / open-source-ready to a single-user platform. Treat multi-tenant indirection as accidental complexity, not a requirement.

Single-user cleanup

  • Remove dead username plumbing. pi-bridge.spawnPi no longer uses username — it always runs as the service user. But the handlers still compute toShellUsername(...) and thread it through sendAndAwaitspawnOptions, where nothing reads it. send-claude-code declares username (lines 8, 36) without using it. Typechecks clean today (excess-property checks don't fire on variables), so it silently looks load-bearing. Touches: channels/{whatsapp,telegram,discord}/handler.ts, channels/send-and-await.ts, channels/send-claude-code.ts. After this, toShellUsername has one caller left (provision.tsgenerateClaudeSettings) and may be inlinable.

  • Delete or gut scripts/provision-existing-users.sh. Line ~100 runs sudo useradd -d "$HOME_DIR" -s /bin/zsh -M "$shell_user". This is what created the four vestigial Unix accounts (andrepadez, john-wick, fedra, miguelbenoliel) that cluttered the lightdm greeter. Nothing in the server creates Unix users; if this script runs again they come back.

  • Collapse the rest of the multi-tenant machinery. Candidates, in rough order of payoff: roles (Super Admin/Member), the sandboxed-vs-unsandboxed path split, per-email home dirs under dev-data/{email}/home, per-user server state (dock, user apps, AppRegistry keyed by email), and auth (passkeys-per-origin, JWT signin, unmounted PasskeyGate).

Known bugs

  • Convert Audio task fails with ENOENT: posix_spawn 'bash'. Misleading error — the real cause is a relative cwd passed to Bun.spawn (ENOENT fires when the child's cwd doesn't exist, not when the binary is missing). Fix is in api/tasks/task-executor.ts: resolve msg.cwd against the user's home when it isn't absolute (isAbsolute(msg.cwd) ? msg.cwd : join(homeDir, msg.cwd)). Was written and verified once, then discarded in a working-tree cleanup.

  • bootstrap.ts runs npm install -g for Pi on every boot. findPiPackageDir checks stale paths and an outdated package name, so installPi always fires and floods the logs with EEXIST noise. Should detect @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent at the real npm prefix.

Infra (alpha)

  • Delete /etc/systemd/system/officer-vnc.service. Hand-installed unit (not in this repo) that ran vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1080 -localhost yes -fg with Restart=on-failure, enabled at boot — it kept a whole parallel XFCE session alive on :1 (283 MB, 166 tasks) independently of the platform, and silently respawned it whenever the display was killed. Obsolete now that the Desktop panel mirrors :0 via x11vnc. Disabled 2026-07-15 (systemctl disable --now), but the unit file is still on disk. Nothing in the codebase recreates it and nothing documents it, so delete the file rather than leave a mystery service one systemctl enable away from returning.

  • ufw blocks port 9010 on the LAN. Default deny incoming; only 22/tcp, 80/tcp, 443/tcp, and everything on tailscale0 are allowed — so http://192.168.47.196:9010 is unreachable from the LAN while localhost and Tailscale work. Fix: sudo ufw allow from 192.168.47.0/24 to any port 9010 proto tcp

Backburner

  • Music tagging feature (/music, Mp3tag-inspired). v1 was scoped as a two-panel workspace — file browser left, table right, single "Load" context-menu item flattening audio files into the table. Discarded before completion; would need GET /file-browser/flatten-audio, a useFilesAPI.flattenAudio method, and the Music app panel rebuilt from scratch.
