pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 e2f7a3f091 the preview reloads for jobs you started, not jobs the agent started
Yesterday's change bumped `background-job:changed` on every `task:started`. That
was wrong in a way the commit message admitted and then waved through: agents
start background jobs constantly while working — a test run, a build, a long
grep — so the reload trigger had moved from "every edit" to "every incidental
job" without getting meaningfully rarer. Same churn, new cause.

The jobs worth reacting to are the ones started from the background-job dialog,
because that is where somebody says "run the dev server".

── Arm and claim, not an id ──

The dialog cannot name the task it is about to create: it sends a prompt, the
agent works out the command, and the harness assigns the id. Nothing links the
two but sequence. So the dialog ARMS, the next `task:started` claims the arm and
records its id, and from then on completions are matched by id — however long
the job runs.

One arm, one claim: a second job in the same turn is not ours. The arm expires
after 30 minutes, because the preamble tells the agent to ask before arming
anything ambiguous, so a legitimate claim can be minutes late — but an abandoned
conversation would otherwise leave the arm sitting there to be taken by whatever
an agent started next.

A job stopped by hand is adopted regardless of who started it. That is the one
place the rule bends, and it bends towards the user having clicked something.

Module state rather than a channel: it is read inside the websocket handler to
decide whether to bump, and nothing renders from it. `createBackgroundJobOrigin`
is exported so tests get a fresh instance instead of a reset that production
code could also call.

Still over-triggers within that set — any dialog-started job reloads every
preview. Nothing observable links a preview's URL to a job, since the parent
cannot see inside a cross-origin iframe.

9 new tests, tsgo clean, frontend builds, 860 pass / 7 fail unchanged.

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.
