82 raw palette classes in FileBrowser, FileViewer, SystemMonitor, Chat and Plugins now name a state instead of a colour. `docs/design-language-interface.md` has said to do this for a long time and `tone.ts` implements it; eight files were following it. Only the families whose semantic token IS the colour already in use: destructive #ef4444 == text-red-500 exact success #16a34a == text-green-600 exact So `red-500` and `green-600` are byte-identical renames, and the neighbouring shades (`red-400`, `red-600`, `green-500`, `emerald-500`) shift by a little on purpose — having one red is the point. Verified on screen, not just typechecked. Three greys became `muted-foreground`, which is what "quieter than the text" means here. ── Amber is deliberately untouched, and needs a decision ── 38 amber classes remain and a regex must not have them. They are not warnings. Chat's own comment says it plainly: "the amber a RUNNING task chip wears". It is a BUSY tone, and the token set has no such thing — `--status-in-progress` exists and is blue. Mapping them to `warning` would change both meaning and colour: Duck's `--warning` is #fbbd23 (amber-400) while the code uses amber-600 #d97706 as text and amber-950 as ink on a fill. Text at that lightness on white is not readable, and "running" would start looking like "something is wrong". Two ways out, both the owner's call: add a sixth tone for busy/queued, or accept warning's colour and meaning for it. ── Deliberately out of scope ── The plugin candidates — Soulseek 308, Invoices 95, Wallet 68, Jellyfin 48, Photos 47, Transmission 41 — are two thirds of the debt and are leaving this repository. Their colours belong to their extraction, when the rules exist and their imports are being rewritten anyway. White and black are also untouched: they are media overlays in the file viewer and photo surfaces, correct in every theme because they sit on someone's photograph rather than on a themed surface.

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.
