# TODO

Deferred work. Context: Officer is collapsing from multi-tenant / open-source-ready to a
**single-user platform**. Treat multi-tenant indirection as accidental complexity, not a requirement.

## Single-user cleanup

- [ ] **Remove dead `username` plumbing.** Mostly resolved by deleting the chat channels — the
      handlers and `send-and-await.ts` that threaded `toShellUsername(...)` through to nothing are gone.
      What remains: `send-claude-code.ts` still declares `username` without using it, and
      `toShellUsername` has one real caller left (`provision.ts` → `generateClaudeSettings`), so it may
      be inlinable.

- [x] **Delete or gut `scripts/provision-existing-users.sh`.** Done — deleted the script (it ran
      `sudo useradd …`, the source of the vestigial `andrepadez`/`john-wick`/`fedra`/`miguelbenoliel`
      Unix accounts). Also dropped the dead per-user VNC desktop provisioning (`provisionVncEnv`, the
      `startxfce4` xstartup) from `provision.ts` — the mirror self-provisions its passwd in
      `vnc-manager.ts` — and the Pi `.pi/agent/sessions` seed.

- [ ] **Collapse the rest of the multi-tenant machinery.** Candidates, in rough order of payoff:
      roles (`Super Admin`/`Member`), the sandboxed-vs-unsandboxed path split, per-email home dirs
      under `dev-data/{email}/home`, per-user server state (dock, user apps, AppRegistry keyed by
      email), and auth (passkeys-per-origin, JWT signin, unmounted `PasskeyGate`).

## Email

- [x] **Gmail-style search operators** (done 2026-07-24, `0e5b91e`). `parseEmailQuery` +
      `searchEmails` in `sidecar/email/store.ts` parse: `from:`/`to:`/`subject:`/`body:` → FTS5 column
      filters; `has:attachment`, `is:unread`/`is:read`, `label:X`, `before:`/`after:YYYY-MM-DD` → SQL
      `WHERE` on `emails`; quoted values → exact phrases; free text → prefix-AND full-text; unknown
      `op:val` falls back to free text. Structured-filters-only queries skip the FTS join. Validated
      on the real 18k-mail DB. Search box placeholder hints at operators.
  - [x] **`OR`** (done 2026-07-24, `85d38fb`). Query splits on top-level uppercase `OR` into branches;
        each branch is a self-contained condition (`id IN (FTS subquery)` + its SQL filters) and
        branches are OR'd — so OR works across full-text *and* structured filters. Verified on the 18k
        DB (`from:github OR from:deepgram` = 90+7 = 97 exactly).
  - [ ] **Remaining:** parenthesised grouping (nesting `(a OR b) c`), `in:sent/inbox/spam/trash`
        (folder scope), and relative dates (`newer_than:7d`). Grouping needs a recursive parser.
  - [ ] **Group search results into threads too.** Folder views group by conversation (`ee11c94`), but
        `/email/search` still returns one row per message. Apply the same `thread_id` collapse to the
        FTS result set so search matches Gmail's grouped results.

- [x] **Conversation threading** (done 2026-07-24, `ee11c94`). `thread_id` column on `emails`:
      header-based for new mail (`id` = `sha1(Message-Id)`, so `References[0]` hashes to the root's
      id — `computeThreadId` in `sidecar/email/store.ts`), subject+counterpart backfill for already-synced mail.
      `/messages` collapses to one row per thread (window fn) with count/unread; `/thread/:id` +
      `/thread/:id/read`; reader renders a collapsible stack. Verified on synthetic + 18k real DB.
  - [ ] **Upgrade old mail to exact threading.** One-time full re-fetch to capture `References` for
        already-synced mail — replaces the subject+counterpart fallback (which can over-merge recurring
        same-subject mail from one sender). Heavy/network-bound; opt-in.
  - [ ] **Store the RFC `Message-Id` header** on ingest so replies can set a real `In-Reply-To`
        (currently reply threading leans on subject/participants; `id` is a local hash, not the header).

- [x] **Compose/reply/send** (done 2026-07-24). Gmail SMTP send with contacts autocomplete, rich
      contenteditable body (inline images at the caret via paste/drag-drop, Bcc), single close button.
- [x] **`busy_timeout` on the email db** (done 2026-07-24, `9527e0b`). API + email sidecar share
      `emails.db`; wait out a concurrent writer instead of 500-ing with "database is locked".

- [ ] **Multiple views in the Email screen (tabs).** The screen grows beyond the current mailbox into
      several switchable views:
  - [ ] **Sender/domain management view.** Left panel: controls to group mail **by sender** or **by
        domain** (room for more grouping axes later). From a group, run bulk actions on that
        sender/domain: **unsubscribe + mark irrelevant**, **delete all mail** from it, **block/ignore
        future incoming**, etc. Think "inbox cleanup / triage" — operate on a whole sender at once.
        - Needs: aggregate query (count/size per sender + per domain), a block/ignore list the
          sync/IDLE path honors on incoming, an unsubscribe action (List-Unsubscribe header / link),
          and bulk delete over a sender/domain.
  - [ ] **Chat view.** The existing AI email-assistant flow — likely stays roughly as-is, just lives
        as one of the tabs (main view).
  - Open question: tabs vs. some other view switcher; which view is default.

## Transmission

Phase 1 (parity with `_references/transmission-web`) shipped 2026-07-30: the `officer-transmission`
sidecar plus `/transmission` (torrents / stats / settings). Everything below is **phase 2** — none of
it exists in the reference app, so none of it was in scope for parity.

### Probably needed regardless

- [ ] **Resizable detail pane.** `TorrentsView` pins it at `DETAIL_HEIGHT = '45%'`, which is a guess.
      Either a drag handle or a persisted height in `useLocalStorageState`, alongside the column set.
- [ ] **Revisit `DEFAULT_VISIBLE_COLUMNS`.** Eleven of thirty, chosen before ever seeing the table
      rendered against the real 43-torrent library. Likely wrong in both directions.
- [ ] **Files tab on huge torrents.** `detail/FilesTab.tsx` builds the whole tree and renders every
      node — no virtualisation. Fine at 14 files; unknown at a few thousand. If it stalls, the fix is
      `useVirtualizer` over a flattened visible-node list, the same shape as `TorrentTable`.

### Ideas, unprioritised

- [ ] **Container→host path mapping.** The daemon reports its own namespace (`/downloads/complete`),
      which is not a path on this host. A mapping table (`/downloads` → `~/hdds/08_TB_01/Torrents`,
      `/downloadsTV` → `14_TB_02/Torrents`) would make locations clickable through to `/files` and
      make "Set location" offer real destinations. Deliberately dropped from phase 1: the reference
      app has no such feature, so it would have been config nothing read.
- [ ] **Push instead of poll.** Transmission RPC has no push channel, so `useTransmissionData` polls
      every 5s. The sidecar could poll once and fan out over a WebSocket, which is both cheaper and
      what every other live surface in the platform already does.
- [ ] **Cross-surface links.** Soulseek and `download-media` both land files in the same library;
      Transmission is the third door to it. Worth a think about whether they should know about each
      other at all.

## Known bugs

- [ ] **`bootstrap.ts` runs `npm install -g` for Pi on every boot.** `findPiPackageDir` checks stale
      paths and an outdated package name, so `installPi` always fires and floods the logs with
      `EEXIST` noise. Should detect `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` at the real npm prefix.

- [x] **VNC mirror can orphan/duplicate x11vnc across sidecar restarts.** FIXED 2026-08-01 in the
      Xvnc rewrite. The diagnosis was right and survived the move off mirroring: the running desktop is
      tracked in module-level state, so a sidecar restart forgot it while the server kept running
      orphaned, and `waitForPort` treated ANY listener on 5900 as success — so the next start reported
      success while the browser talked to the stale process. Now `reclaimPort` frees 5900 (TERM, then
      KILL after 2s) before spawning, and `waitForPort` also fails if the process we spawned has
      exited, so a listener that is not ours can no longer be mistaken for a healthy start.

## Infra (alpha)

- [ ] **Delete `/etc/systemd/system/officer-vnc.service`.** Hand-installed unit (not in this repo)
      that ran `vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1080 -localhost yes -fg` with `Restart=on-failure`,
      enabled at boot — it kept a whole parallel XFCE session alive on `:1` (283 MB, 166 tasks)
      independently of the platform, and silently respawned it whenever the display was killed.
      Obsolete now that the Desktop panel mirrors `:0` via x11vnc. Disabled 2026-07-15
      (`systemctl disable --now`), but the unit file is still on disk. Nothing in the codebase
      recreates it and nothing documents it, so delete the file rather than leave a mystery service
      one `systemctl enable` away from returning.

- [ ] **`ufw` blocks port 9010 on the LAN.** Default deny incoming; only `22/tcp`, `80/tcp`,
      `443/tcp`, and everything on `tailscale0` are allowed — so `http://192.168.47.196:9010` is
      unreachable from the LAN while localhost and Tailscale work.
      Fix: `sudo ufw allow from 192.168.47.0/24 to any port 9010 proto tcp`

## Backburner

- [ ] **Music tagging feature** (`/music`, Mp3tag-inspired). v1 was scoped as a two-panel workspace —
      file browser left, table right, single "Load" context-menu item flattening audio files into the
      table. Discarded before completion; would need `GET /file-browser/flatten-audio`, a
      `useFilesAPI.flattenAudio` method, and the Music app panel rebuilt from scratch.
