`plugins/EXTRACT-A-PLUGIN-PROMPT.md` is meant to be pasted into a fresh agent with one word changed. It deliberately does not restate the runbook — it orders the reading, says what "done" means, and sets the three behaviours that matter: map the import graph before moving anything, ask rather than assume, and verify on a live server after a purge. ── The runbook needed correcting before it could be handed to anyone ── Its verification table told the reader to run `bun db:push` while the plugin was uninstalled and expect "No changes detected". Following that today would hang on drizzle-kit's interactive rename prompt, or — with `--force` — drop the tables of every plugin not currently on disk. Struck out, with the reasoning, and the property it was checking is now checked by reinstalling and finding the rows still there. Also folded in: installs create tables through `pushPluginSchema` and verify them afterwards; `purge` is the only honest way to test an install twice, because uninstall keeps the directory and the tables on purpose; orphan tables are now reported on screen; and the marketplace is part of the job — a public repo that clones anonymously, a README that renders in both the store and the install pane, a catalogue row, and a `BUNDLED` entry for machines with no internet. Two rules from today that generalise beyond extraction: the platform must not carry the plugin's VOCABULARY, not just its code — ten comments explained what Headscale was months after it left, each correct and in the wrong repository — and nothing in the install path may trust `$PATH`, which cost an install with `Executable not found in $PATH: "bunx"`. The stale "757 pass, 10 failures" is now "record the baseline before you start", which does not go out of date. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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 |

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.

Those files are gone, andcatalogue.test.tswas rewritten.sidecar-bootstrapping.md— "20 PM2 entries, 18 sidecar dirs".

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.

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.

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.
