The plugins page read a TypeScript constant. It now reads a public API backed by its own database, and falls back to that constant when it cannot. ── Four pieces ── `src/databases/marketplace_db` — a second Postgres database, `officer_marketplace`. Two tables, split by owner and lifetime: `plugins` is the registry (app name, developer, clone URL) and is authoritative; `plugin_metadata` is a CACHE of what each repository says about itself, so the website can render without cloning three repos per page load. Keeping them apart is what makes the cache safe to be wrong — a refresh can never lose the fact that a plugin exists. `scripts/marketplace-sync.ts` — fills it from the plugin repositories. Reads each `manifest.ts` (imported, since a manifest is TypeScript), derives `has` from the directory rather than trusting a declaration, and rewrites SSH remotes to HTTPS: `example` and `offscale` had `git@gitea…` origins, which would have handed every installer a URL that only works on the machine that published it. `src/servers/marketplace/server.tsx` — its own process, its own port, two GET routes and no others. Not part of the platform server: it has no users, no sessions and no request it answers differently per caller, and mounting a public unauthenticated surface inside the process holding mail, a wallet and passkeys means writing permission-gate exemptions that later turn out to be too wide. `src/apps/marketplace` — the public site. A window, deliberately: nothing here installs anything, because installing means cloning a repo and starting a process on someone else's machine. Every plugin page ends at "install it from your own Officer". ── The platform side is the part that had to be careful ── `fetchCatalogue()` now answers live → cached → bundled, in that order, and never throws. The plugins page is where an owner manages plugins they ALREADY have, so the store being down must not take that page with it. Network responses are validated per entry — not against a hostile marketplace, which has already won if the owner installs what it lists, but against a wrong one: a proxy serving HTML, a half-deployed API, a field renamed on one side. A non-https `source` is refused outright because that string reaches `git clone`. 8 tests on the degradation path. Verified end to end against the running service: live catalogue, cached answer surviving the store dying, bundled fallback. ── One thing found on the way ── `bunfig.toml` and CLAUDE.md both document `bun install --no-frozen-lockfile` as the way to change a dependency. Bun 1.3.14 has no such flag — only `--frozen-lockfile` — so the documented escape hatch does not work. Sidestepped by not making marketplace_db a workspace member (relative imports, zero lockfile change), and `bun install` is frozen-clean again. Worth fixing the docs. tsgo clean, 873 pass / 7 fail unchanged. 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. |

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.

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.
Unclassified — I have not looked

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.
