protocol.ts declared a separate SidecarEvent member per sidecar — music, vault,
slskd, headscale, transmission, invoiceshelf, jellyfin, photos, memos, gitea,
caldav, wallet, pty, email, notify, opencode — each an identical one-liner. Two
of them were for plugins that had already left the repository, which is the
tell: the platform was declaring event types on behalf of code it no longer
contains.
The cost was that a plugin could not announce its own port. `connection.send`
takes a SidecarEvent, so `{ type: 'notes:server', port }` did not typecheck
until someone added a line to the platform. A third-party plugin needed a pull
request against Officer before its sidecar would compile — for the one message
every HTTP sidecar has to send.
Now:
export type SidecarPortAnnouncement = { type: `${string}:server`; port: number };
Nothing was lost at the point of use. The only consumer is
`sidecar.on(`${name}:server`, …)` in create-proxy.ts, which already cast to
read `.port`, because a handler typed `(event: SidecarEvent) => void` cannot
narrow from a computed template string.
The proof is a test that already existed: create-proxy.test.ts announces
`testcar:server` — a name never in the union — and now compiles without its
`as never`.
Removing the two casts that escaped the old type found something else. They
were not hiding union membership, they were hiding `port: number | undefined`:
Bun types Server.port as optional because a unix-socket server has none. So
`as SidecarEvent` on the whole object was suppressing a real nullability
warning, and would have suppressed a genuinely wrong event shape too. Replaced
with a narrow assertion on the port alone. Two further `as SidecarEvent` casts
in the same file turned out to be unnecessary altogether and are gone.
[open] The typo check is genuinely gone: a sidecar sending `muzik:server` while
its proxy listens for `music:server` now compiles, and the symptom is every
request answering 503 forever. The fix is not to restore the list — it is for
createSidecarConnector to announce the port itself from the `name` it already
holds, so the string is written once and the typo becomes unrepresentable.
Recorded in protocol.ts.
Verified live: officer and officer-music restarted, `[music] sidecar registered
on port 38803`, /api/music/manifest and /api/offscale/_health both 200.
tsgo clean, 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7.
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

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.

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.
