pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 b91d4df21d desktop, extracted from the platform
x11vnc against display :0 — the session the owner is actually logged into, not a second one Officer
installs. sidecar/, api/, web/ and the host setup script, moved out of src/ whole.

Dormant when it moved: the websocket was commented out in server.tsx and the router in hono.ts since
2026-08-13, and no officer-vnc process was running on any machine. Nothing regressed and nothing was
restored — this took switched-off code out of the platform.

The point of the move is what the platform stopped knowing. Its sidecar/protocol.ts carried a VNC
section — vnc:start, vnc:ensure-password, vnc:stop, four reply variants, VncStartParams,
VncSessionInfo — and sidecar-registry.ts carried startVnc, ensureVncPassword, stopVnc and
isVncConnected. That is the platform speaking a plugin's vocabulary, which CLAUDE.md names as a rule
and this was the clearest breach of. All of it is in sidecar/protocol.ts here now.

The permission made a round trip worth recording. It was kind: 'execution' — "runs as the server owner
and cannot be shared" — and a plugin permission has no kind, deliberately, because a permission nobody
can delegate is a contradiction. So the property is expressed as ownerOnly: ['/'] instead: every path
under this plugin refused to anyone but the owner. Same answer, reached from the paths rather than
from a kind, and the first real use of a mechanism that landed the same day. The property is real —
there is one physical screen and it is the owner's.

Not finished, and BLOCKERS.md says so rather than the commit implying otherwise: the websocket is
dormant because a plugin cannot claim a WebSocket provider, host setup needs a reboot and no manifest
can express that, and there is no artwork.

# Officer Remote Desktop Setup — Ubuntu GNOME desktop on Xorg, mirrored over VNC.
#
# The platform mirrors the single physical display :0 with x11vnc (see vnc-manager.ts). x11vnc can only
# capture an Xorg server, NOT a Wayland compositor — so we install the full GNOME desktop but force GDM
# onto the Xorg session (WaylandEnable=false). Auto-login is enabled so a user session owns :0 for the
# mirror to attach to. Switching the display manager takes effect on the next reboot.
# Usage: ./scripts/setup/setup-desktop.sh
