an opencode agent could not have used the calendar skill written this morning, and would not have failed usefully either — it had no idea the skill existed and no key to call the platform with. two gaps, one file each. SKILLS: OPENCODE ALREADY HAD THE MECHANISM. it has a `skill` tool, an index compiled into its system prompt, and `skills.paths` in config taking directories of <name>/SKILL.md — the same progressive disclosure claude does over the same layout the platform already stores. so this points it at the SAME FILES rather than compiling a second index in a second format. skills/load.ts says a skill is a path because every harness can read a file; this is the better version of that bet — the harness had the feature all along. verified: `/skill?directory=…` now returns all nine platform skills, "Calendar and contacts" among them. THE CREDENTIAL, AND THE THING TO KNOW ABOUT IT. claude spawns a subprocess per session, so its key is per session and a member's resolves to their own grants. opencode cannot: ONE serve runs every session, so the only environment there is is the serve's own, minted once at sidecar start, belonging to the owner. that is sound today for exactly one reason — opencode is owner-only, enforced at every door in chat.ts because one serve runs as one user. when that lifts, this key becomes a privilege escalation. it is the same blocker as the two already there, not a new one, but it lives in a sidecar where nobody looking at chat.ts would find it, so chat.ts now names it. all three move together. verified end to end: a tool process inside an opencode session ran curl with $OFFICER_AGENT_KEY and got the owner's calendars back. OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT rather than editing ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc — it is inline json, it MERGES into the same chain as the config files (checked in the binary), and it dies with the process. the alternative is the platform editing a dotfile it does not own and leaving state behind that outlives the install. affordances ride the `instructions` key as one composed file, written beside the serve's state. loaded — `/config` shows it — but NOT model-verified: this box has no provider credential in auth.json, so a turn 401s before reaching a model. whoever adds one should check that first. the credential module moved out of sidecar/claude/. it was never claude-shaped; it was just there first, and it had one importer.

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 fromfull − light. Those files are gone, andcatalogue.test.tswas 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_KEYis now the per-purposewalletkey.push-notifications.md— "agreed design, 2026-07-31". Notify is a plugin and unmounted.chat-session-lifetime.md,chat-ui-walkthrough.md— referenceofficer-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.

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.
