Two requests, one file apart. ── The microphone ── Removed from the chat composer. The HOOK stays: `useAudioRecording` and `blobToWav` are also the file browser's DictateDialog, which is not what was asked to go. ── PDFs, by not extracting anything ── A PDF entry sat in the attach menu once with no `onSelect` at all — the menu offered it and did nothing, because nothing here could extract PDF text. It is back and real, and it still extracts nothing: the file is uploaded, left on disk, and the agent is given its PATH. Its own `Read` handles PDFs by page, better than any extraction this could have shipped, and it can go back for a section later without paying for it twice. The alternative was base64 in the message. That is megabytes in the turn, re-sent for the rest of the conversation, to produce worse text. ── What this uncovered ── `attachmentIds` has been on this websocket and in `types.ts` for a long time and NOTHING on the server read it. Images work because they travel separately as base64, so the ids were dead on the wire — and a PDF is exactly the case that needs them. They resolve to paths now, appended to the prompt as `Attached files (read from disk)`. Ids arrive in a websocket message and become a filesystem path, so they are checked rather than trusted: only the `<uuid>.<ext>` shape uploads actually generate, and only in the two directories uploads actually write to. Verified — a valid id resolves, an unknown one yields nothing, and `../../../../etc/passwd` and `; rm -rf /` yield nothing. Both upload directories are searched because the first message of a chat carries ids written to `tmp/` (no session yet) and later ones carry ids under the session. PDFs may be 25 MB against an image's 5: nothing carries them into a prompt, so the ceiling is storage rather than context. tsgo clean, frontend builds, 914 pass / 7 fail unchanged. `[open]` For a MEMBER the file lands under `data/<email>/attachments/`, and whether their Linux user can read it depends on the confinement ACLs. Untested — the owner path is what was verified. 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 |
new. What breaks over plain http. |
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.
sidecar-topology.md— "ecosystem.config.cjs is the source of truth". It is generated now, and holds six processes.sidecar-app-store.md— derives the catalogue fromfull − light. Those files are gone, andcatalogue.test.tswas rewritten.sidecar-bootstrapping.md— "20 PM2 entries, 18 sidecar dirs". Six entries now.mobile-api-keys.md— partly corrected; recheck the origin-checking claims.wallet-key-custody.md—VAULT_STORE_KEYis now the per-purposewalletkey.push-notifications.md— "agreed design, 2026-07-31". Notify is a plugin and unmounted.chat-session-lifetime.md,chat-ui-walkthrough.md— referenceofficer-agent, renamed.
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
design-language-interface · file-sync · jobs-unification · mobile-photo-sync-api ·
nextcloud-replacement · agent-git-identity
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.
