ported from the standalone officer-atelier service: providers (adapter-shaped, openai the only
adapter today), the generation queue, collections, and the database layer — kept on its own
Postgres database rather than folded into officer_db, since both collections and provider_settings
had rows on the machine this was extracted from.
what changed rather than just moved:
- images are served from an authenticated GET /files/:filename instead of an unauthenticated
PUBLIC_URL-prefixed static route
- the OpenAI-key bootstrap fallback reads the secret store (getSecret) before .env, per-adapter
- provider_settings (the one-row-per-adapter shape providers replaced) did not come along — it has
no callers left anywhere in the server code, only a migration script that also did not move
ping/echo (smoke-test routes with no caller) did not move either; the sidecar's own /_health covers
liveness.
not yet wired into the platform: sidecar/index.ts exists but nothing mounts it, and web/ has not
been written, so this is not yet a discoverable plugin.
