pastilhas aa5bacec46 email recall: the design, and which answers can be trusted
the use case is someone mid-phone-call who needs a fact from eight years of
correspondence now. everything in here is in service of that moment.

the split that came out of the discussion, and it is the whole document:
counting needs EXHAUSTION, retrieval needs SPEED, and they are different
machinery. an agent asked "how many times did she ask X" will search, find
some, and answer with a number bounded by the phrasings it happened to think
of — "i found four" is indistinguishable from "there were nine", and nothing
in the output says which. vector search does not fix that; top-k misses too,
just differently. the only honest count is to judge every message once and
store the verdict.

which makes the compile half the one that answers the questions that prompted
this, and it needs no vectors at all.

embeddings still earn their place for the other row: keyword search finds
"school run" and never finds it from "the pickup arrangement", and on a live
call thirty seconds of searching is a lost moment. the stronger argument is
whatsapp and transcripts sharing no vocabulary with email — but we do not have
those, so they shape exactly one decision (the store is not email-shaped) and
nothing else.

two constraints stated as constraints rather than preferences: the embedding
model runs LOCALLY, because an api means uploading eight years of private
correspondence to a third party, and there is no ollama or embedding code on
any machine here — that is the real new dependency, not the database. and it
is sqlite-vec in the plugin's own file, not a vector database: 19,097 rows is
small, and a separate service would be operational surface bought for nothing.

the hard part is neither. it is quoted reply chains putting the same paragraph
in forty messages of one thread, which naive embedding turns into forty
identical results. step 1 of the build order is chunking with no embeddings at
all, because if that is wrong nothing after it can be right.

a stored verdict is a judgement a model made about someone's divorce, so it
records what it was asked, what it read and when. a number with no provenance
is worse than none, because it will be quoted.

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 from full − light. Those files are gone, and catalogue.test.ts was 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_KEY is now the per-purpose wallet key.
  • push-notifications.md — "agreed design, 2026-07-31". Notify is a plugin and unmounted.
  • chat-session-lifetime.md, chat-ui-walkthrough.md — reference officer-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.

  • sidecar-audit-2026-07.md (1,377 lines)
  • claude-sidecar-isolation.md — records the officer-claude → officer-agent rename that preceded tonight's officer-agent → officer-claude-code
  • open-threads-after-per-user-claude.md
  • two-agent-field-report-2026-08-12.md
  • api-method-changes-2026-08-06.md

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.
