# AGENTS.md

Guidance for a coding agent working on **this plugin's own repository**. `CLAUDE.md` beside it only
points here — the two harnesses discover different filenames and one set of instructions has to
reach both.

**This is not what the plugin is.** `README.md` answers that, for a person deciding whether to
install it. This file answers "I have to change something in here — what will I break?"

## Where you are

A plugin repository, cloned into `~/officer-dev/plugins/offscale`, its own git remote. It is **not**
part of the platform's repository, and `platform/plugins/offscale` is a different thing — that is
where this plugin gets INSTALLED, by the installer cloning it from gitea. Never edit there; the
next install overwrites it.

Check the checkout with `bun run plugins:check` from the platform repo.

## What it ships

- `api/router.ts` — routes, mounted at `/api/offscale`
- `sidecar/index.ts` — a process, run by PM2 as `officer-offscale`
- `db/schema.ts` — tables: `offscale_servers`
- `web/` — panels and a layout; the platform renders the screen, not this plugin

Presence is the declaration: the platform decides what this plugin has by what files exist. Adding
`db/schema.ts` gives it tables; deleting `api/router.ts` removes its routes. There is no field to
keep in step.

## What must not change without knowing why

- **Permission key `offscale`** — stored as the subject of every grant. Renaming one is a data change, not a rename.
- **Panel keys** (`offscale-servers`, `offscale-nav`, `offscale-view`) — a user's stored layout names them.
- **Table names** — they hold real rows on installed machines.
- **Host binaries** (`ssh`) — declared in the manifest so an install can get them. Shelling out to something undeclared works on this machine and nowhere else.
- **`appName`** — the directory name IS the id: route segment, table prefix, sidecar suffix, install key.

## Verifying

From the platform repo, which is where the toolchain lives:

```bash
bunx tsgo                 # a red typecheck is not done
bun test                  # 1 known failure: ModelSelector, unrelated
bun run plugins:check
bunx prettier --write <the files you touched>
```

A sidecar change needs `pm2 restart officer-offscale`; anything in `api/` or `web/` needs
`pm2 restart officer`.
