pastilhas c68c734431 docs: what an affordance is, and the test that catches the bad ones
the substance was in plugins/CLAUDE.md marked "DESIGN, NOT BUILT", which
stopped being true the same day it was written — load.ts reads them, publish.ts
copies a plugin's in on install, and claude-manager compiles them into every
session. moved to docs/affordances.md and corrected; plugins/CLAUDE.md keeps
the plugin-specific part and points here.

the new part is a third test, earned today by nearly failing it twice: CAN IT
BE FIXED INSTEAD? an affordance is for something irreducible about the
surface, and a defect is not irreducible.

both candidates drafted today failed it. "links open in the same tab" was one
missing line in MD_COMPONENTS. "AskUserQuestion never returns an answer" was
true when the code comment was written and already fixed by the time i read
it — that one would have shipped a permanent instruction to work around a bug
that no longer existed, in a file whose whole purpose is to be believed
without checking.

names the failure mode: an affordance describing a defect calcifies it. once
there is a document explaining the workaround, the defect has a rationale, and
the rationale outlives anyone's memory that it was a bug.

also records two things that are not built and read as if they were: nothing
is scoped, so every affordance is in every conversation, and affordanceBlock()
has exactly one caller — an opencode turn gets none at all.

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.
