bun 1.4.0 was published 2026-08-20 and https://bun.sh/install serves whatever is newest, so machine-setup provisioning a box today would put a two-day-old release under the platform and every pm2 app except officer-pty. The owner asked for a temporary hold on 1.3. The SERIES is pinned, not a patch — BUN_SERIES=1.3, resolved to the newest 1.3.x at install time so bug fixes inside the series still land, and no 1.3.14 to rot into "the version we happened to pick" the way setup_22.x did for Node. The version reaches the installer as its documented first positional argument (a release tag), and install_bun refuses to run with an empty one: taking whatever bun.sh serves is the single outcome the pin exists to prevent, so no bun at all is the better failure. Loud, and officer-setup's pre-flight already stops on a missing bun. Resolved from the npm registry rather than GitHub's releases API, which is the obvious source and the wrong one — 60 unauthenticated requests an hour per IP, and it returned 504 twice while this was written. An empty answer installs nothing, so where it comes from is load-bearing. The section now reads four states instead of two. "Installed" was one answer covering a machine inside the pin, one behind it, and one past it; past it is the case worth catching, since that is what bun upgrade leaves and nothing else reports it. Above and below get different prose and both offer to move; nothing is corrected silently. What a setup script cannot cover: bun upgrade takes no version argument — latest stable or --canary, verified against its own --help — so it always jumps past the pin without saying so. Hence the doctor check, which reads engines.bun rather than repeating the number, because a second hardcoded copy is a second thing to drift. bun ignores engines (verified: an install declaring 1.9.x ran clean under 1.3.14), so the field is the declaration and doctor is the enforcement. Confirmed bun install --dry-run still resolves frozen with the field present and bun.lock unchanged. This host is already on 1.3.14 and inside the pin, so nothing moved here. Also fixes three more stale process counts in the same block. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 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

working-on-officer.md |
updated 2026-08-13. Operational guide. |

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. |

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 ·

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.
