Third chord in a day, and each move was the owner naming a collision on the machine he actually uses: ctrl-space is Brave's address bar, shift-space types a space, alt-space is the window menu — and he rebound that rather than give up the chord. Shift-space was the worst of the three and it is worth saying why, because it read as the safe choice. It is a real key combination inside a text field: it types a space, and people hold shift through one more often than they think while typing capitals. So it had to stand down whenever focus was in an input — which is where focus usually is, the chat composer — and a launcher you have to click out of a field to reach is not a launcher. Alt-space means nothing in a text field, so the isTyping guard stops being the thing holding the feature up and becomes belt-and-braces. Kept anyway: two lines against some layout delivering alt-space as a literal character, which is cheap to prevent and expensive to discover. `altKey` with `ev.code`, not `ev.key` — alt-space produces a different `key` on several layouts and nothing at all on others, while the physical key is `Space` everywhere. No second chord. Two triggers for one thing means two things to collide with, and this one has moved twice. The TODO item's id still says ctrl-space. Ids are stable by design, so it stays; its body now records all three moves and which guard was load-bearing for which. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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.
