`officer_db/src/schema.ts` ends with an UNCONDITIONAL `export * from './plugin-schemas.gen'`. That file is gitignored — it describes this machine, not the project — and until now its only writer was installPlugin. So on a fresh clone the file does not exist and `bun db:push` dies with MODULE_NOT_FOUND before creating a single table. That is exactly what officer-setup.sh section 8 runs, so setup failed at the schema step on any clean machine, and the only thing that would have written the file was installing a plugin — which needs a working database. A deadlock, shipped with the plugin system on 2026-08-15. Reproduced by deleting the file and running push, not inferred. `db:push` now runs scripts/gen-plugin-schemas.ts first. Wired into the script rather than added as a setup step because setup is not the only caller: pushSchema() shells out to the same command, a developer types it by hand, and `git clean -xfd` removes the file at any time. A step someone has to remember is one they forget once; push regenerating it means the barrel cannot be stale when drizzle reads it. Both paths verified: barrel deleted then push (regenerates, "No changes detected"), and zero plugins on disk (writes a header-only barrel that schema.ts still imports cleanly). Also verified, on a scratch database, the premise the whole barrel design rests on — that push drops what it cannot see. Full schema pushed, a row seeded into music_favorites, then an empty barrel pushed: music_* and headscale_servers were DROPPED along with the row. So "following the directory rather than the install table" is load-bearing, not decorative. Worth recording how close that came to being logged as the opposite. An earlier run with an empty barrel reported "No changes detected", which read as evidence that push does not drop. It was this fix working — the script had regenerated the barrel before drizzle ran. The scratch database is what told them apart. bunx tsgo clean. 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7 pre-existing failures. Scratch database dropped; live plugin tables and rows verified intact.
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

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.
