## Update (2026-11-11 07:40:01)
Two-machine lab (plus a router host) used for the Paperclip harness work.
Machines measured (as of this turn):
- 192.168.20.27 (sam-4screen-desktop): Go 1.26.2 ✓, 98 Nerd Fonts ✓, pi 0.82.1, tuios 0.12.1 [pure-Go backend]. Considered the current/reference machine.
- 192.168.20.51 (sam-thinkpad): Go MISSING, 98 Nerd Fonts ✓, pi 0.87.1, tuios 0.12.1.
- 192.168.20.13: hosts the omni OpenAI-shaped router at :20129; pi 0.82.x.
Provider topology (agent model providers are per-agent/model, NOT per-project): providers currently configured = ['omni', 'deepseek', 'openrouter', 'opencode-go', 'google']. The 'omni' provider speaks the OpenAI API with its own key/own model naming on :20129. A 'headroom' provider entry was added and removed this turn (see decision note).
Lab tooling in the workspace:
- bin/triage <task> [--ask next|failure] — asks one four-option question to Mouse-1 and comments the answer on the task.
- Repair > cleanup in the harness UI — closes stale sessions, now with a confirmation prompt.
Known follow-ups/unknowns: .51 needs Go installed; pi version drift (0.87 on .51 vs 0.82 on .13/.27) should be aligned before agents run on .51. Headroom prompt-compression is unproven (no measurement showing it pays).
## Detailed context from completed turn
Two things were built and tested; one of them does not work, and I have the measurements.
## Headroom: tested, and it cannot sit in front of your agents yet
I added the provider, called it, and removed it again:
```
POST http://192.168.20.13:8787/v1/chat/completions → 502 {"code":"proxy_error"}
POST http://192.168.20.13:8787/v1/messages → 401 "invalid x-api-key" (Anthropic shape)
POST http://192.168.20.13:20129/v1/chat/completions → 400 (the router's own model naming)
```
Headroom's backend is **Anthropic**: it speaks the Anthropic Messages API and wants an Anthropic key, which this machine does not have. Your `omni` provider speaks the OpenAI API with its own key. So "headroom as an agent" is not a thing — and "headroom in front of an agent" does not work as configured.
Three real options:
1. **Give headroom an Anthropic credential** and move an agent to an Anthropic-shaped provider. Then one agent gets compression; per project still impossible, because the provider is chosen by the agent's model.
2. **Reconfigure headroom** to accept the omni router's OpenAI API and key. That is headroom's configuration, not ours.
3. **Do nothing.** The omni router already routes models. Headroom's only addition would be prompt compression for very long jobs, and you have no measurement showing it pays.
My recommendation is 3 until you have a long job that hurts — the provider entry is removed so no agent can be pointed at a failing endpoint.
## Mouse-1: built and run
`bin/triage <task> [--ask next|failure]` asks one four-option question and writes the answer on the task:
```
AUD-162 Tree render check — waits on the first
asking Mouse-1: next
answer: person (confidence 0.97, 0.5s, attempt 1)
person 0.98 a person has to decide or look at it; a machine should not continue
environment 0.02 something outside the code is wrong: …
redo 0.00 the work is wrong or incomplete, …
merge 0.00 the work is complete, its checks passed, …
written on the task as a comment
```
The cold start reproduced exactly as your notes said: `503` after 30.5 s, then `200` in 21.7 s. The command retries once and prints that it did. Mouse-1 cannot be an agent — it has no tools and writes nothing — but as a labeller it works, and the answer now lives on the task.
## Machines
Measured just now:
| | `.27` sam-4screen-desktop | `.51` sam-thinkpad |
|---|---|---|
| Go | 1.26.2 ✓ | **missing** |
| Nerd Fonts | 98 ✓ | 98 ✓ |
| Pi | 0.82.1 | **0.87.1** |
| TUIOS | 0.12.1 | 0.12.1 |
`.51` needs `go` in its configuration; `.27` is current. Pi differs between machines (0.87 on `.51`, 0.82 on `.13`/`.27`), which is worth aligning before agents run on `.51`.
## The cleanup work — options, in the order I would do them
1. **Old sessions.** `Repair>cleanup` is ready and now confirms before closing. 21 junk sessions remain (`harness-demo-card-*`, `office-test-1*`). I can tick and close them with you watching, or leave you to.
2. **Old harness and old project** (`~/paseo/harness`, `~/paseo/projects/tuios_coding_harness`). Options: leave as read-only reference; tar them into one archive and delete the trees; or delete outright. I would tar first — they are the only record of two earlier attempts.
3. **This build's leftovers**: duplicate shell panes, my test tasks (`AUD-161`, `AUD-162`, `AUD-166`–`171`), the `ocr`/`lazygit` panes I opened. The test tasks are real Paperclip records — I would mark them `cancelled` rather than delete, so the history stays honest.
4. **Documentation with the project-docs skill** — README, Obsidian note, architecture diagram, and a task record. That is a deliberate pass, not a by-product.
5. **Two clean tests**: a brand-new project in a fresh folder (create → task → run → merge), and adopting an existing folder (the harness repo itself). Both are worth a written result.
6. **Handover document** — `docs/HANDOVER.md`: what exists, why each decision was made, what is unproven, and where everything lives.
Say which of those six you want first, and whether I should close the junk sessions myself.
## Evidence
- Confidence: 80%
- Reason: Durable component/infrastructure overview discovered this turn: machine specs, provider topology, and lab CLI tooling that a future agent will need.; enriched with final-answer detail because persistence should be reusable

## Update (2026-11-11 07:40:01)
Completed work this turn:
1. Headroom provider test then removal: added the headroom provider to config, called it (502 on /v1/chat/completions, 401 'invalid x-api-key' on /v1/messages, 400 on omni router), diagnosed it as Anthropic-shaped needing an Anthropic key, then removed the provider entry. Final providers: ['omni','deepseek','openrouter','opencode-go','google'].
2. Built bin/triage <task> [--ask next|failure]: asks one four-option question to Mouse-1, retries once on 503, prints per-option probabilities/reasons with confidence and latency, and writes the answer as a comment on the task (via Paperclip). Verified end-to-end on AUD-162 ('Tree render check'): answer person (confidence 0.97, 0.5s, attempt 1).
3. Machine audit: measured .27 and .51 for Go/Nerd Fonts/pi/tuios (see context note).
Validation: syntax check 'syntax ok'; triage run produced a written task comment; commit 7a2d435 'Headroom measured and blocked; Mouse-1 triage command built and run'.
Follow-up offered (not yet done): close 21 junk sessions (harness-demo-card-*, office-test-1*); archive/delete ~/paseo/harness and ~/paseo/projects/tuios_coding_harness; clean up test tasks AUD-161/162/166–171 (mark cancelled, not delete); docs pass; two clean tests; write docs/HANDOVER.md.

## Update (2026-11-11 07:40:01)
Decision: remove the 'headroom' provider entry from the agent config and do not route any agent through it until there is evidence it pays.
Context: headroom at 192.168.20.13:8787 speaks the Anthropic Messages API and needs an Anthropic credential this machine lacks; omni speaks the OpenAI API with its own key. So 'headroom as an agent' is not a thing, and 'headroom in front of an agent' does not work as configured.
Options considered:
1. Give headroom an Anthropic credential and move an agent to an Anthropic-shaped provider — gives one agent compression, still no per-project control, because provider is chosen by the agent's model.
2. Reconfigure headroom to accept the omni router's OpenAI API and key — that is headroom's config, not ours.
3. Do nothing — the omni router already routes models; headroom's only addition is prompt compression for very long jobs, and there is no measurement showing it pays.
Rationale/consequence: Recommendation is option 3 until a long job hurts. Provider entry was removed so no agent can be pointed at a failing endpoint (401/502).
Review caveat: revisit if a long-running job shows measurable latency/cost benefit from compression, or if an Anthropic credential is made available.
## Evidence
- Confidence: 85%
- Reason: Architectural/config decision with rationale, alternatives, and consequences — durable for future agents.

## Update (2026-11-11 07:40:01)
Measured behavior of the Mouse-1 / headroom providers this turn:
Headroom endpoint http://192.168.20.13:8787 is Anthropic-shaped:
- POST :8787/v1/chat/completions → 502 {"code":"proxy_error"}
- POST :8787/v1/messages → 401 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"authentication_error","message":"invalid x-api-key"}} (Anthropic Messages API — wants an Anthropic key this machine lacks)
- Anthropic upstream (via openai→anthropic translation) → 400
Omni router http://192.168.20.13:20129 is OpenAI-shaped:
- /v1/chat/completions → 400 when called with router's own model naming (model name mismatch, not a hard failure)
- A decision call without a key → 401 {"type":"authentication_error","code":"missing_api_key","message":"Send your key as 'Authorization: Bearer [REDACTED_SECRET]'."}
Mouse-1 cold start (reproduced exactly as prior notes): first attempt 503 {"code":"engine_timeout","message":"The model did not answer in time. After an idle period it takes a few minutes to start; retry after the Retry-After header."} after 30.5s; retry → 200 in 21.7s. bin/triage retries once on 503 and reports it.
Mouse-1 sampling result is well-formed: next-choice over {merge, person, redo} with confidences, logits, and a mouse block (calibrated:false, p_top, abstain:null, confidence_winning/normalized). Example answer: person (0.98) with reason "a person has to decide or look at it; a machine should not continue".
Caveat: Mouse-1 cannot act as an agent (no tools, writes nothing to disk on its own) — it works only as a labeller whose answer is commented on the task by bin/triage.
## Evidence
- Confidence: 85%
- Reason: Concrete, reproducible API/endpoint behavior and error codes a future agent will hit; useful troubleshooting knowledge.

## Update (2026-11-11 07:40:01)
## Structural/configuration observations (2026-11-11 07:40:01)
Two things were built and tested; one of them does not work, and I have the measurements.
## Headroom: tested, and it cannot sit in front of your agents yet
I added the provider, called it, and removed it again:
```

`.51` needs `go` in its configuration; `.27` is current. Pi differs between machines (0.87 on `.51`, 0.82 on `.13`/`.27`), which is worth aligning before agents run on `.51`.
## The cleanup work — options, in the order I would do them
1. **Old sessions.** `Repair>cleanup` is ready and now confirms before closing. 21 junk sessions remain (`harness-demo-card-*`, `office-test-1*`). I can tick and close them with you watching, or leave you to.
2. **Old harness and old project** (`~/paseo/harness`, `~/paseo/projects/tuios_coding_harness`). Options: leave as read-only reference; tar them into one archive and delete the trees; or delete outright. I would tar first — they are the only record of two earlier attempts.
3. **This build's leftovers**: duplicate shell panes, my test tasks (`AUD-161`, `AUD-162`, `AUD-166`–`171`), the `ocr`/`lazygit` panes I opened. The test tasks are real Paperclip records — I would mark them `cancelled` rather than delete, so the history stays honest.
4. **Documentation with the project-docs skill** — README, Obsidian note, architecture diagram, and a task record. That is a deliberate pass, not a by-product.
5. **Two clean tests**: a brand-new project in a fresh folder (create → task → run → merge), and adopting an existing folder (the harness repo itself). Both are worth a written result.
6. **Handover document** — `docs/HANDOVER.md`: what exists, why each decision was made, what is unproven, and where everything lives.
Say which of those six you want first, and whether I should close the junk sessions myself.

# Paperclip harness session snapshot: provider feasibility + triage tooling
Rich discovery snapshot from this turn:
Goal: evaluate headroom as an agent/compression layer and build a Mouse-1 triage command; also report machine readiness and cleanup options.
Findings:
- Headroom is Anthropic-shaped and unusable with the current omni/OpenAI key setup → provider removed (see decision note).
- Mouse-1 has a documented cold-start pattern (503 engine_timeout ~30s, retry → 200 ~20s) which bin/triage handles with one retry.
- Mouse-1 outputs a structured 4-way decision (logits/confidences/mouse block); it works as a labeller but cannot act as an agent.
- Machine fleet: .27 reference (Go 1.26.2), .51 missing Go and behind/ahead on pi (0.87.1) — align pi before running agents on .51.
- Lab artifacts to clean up: 21 junk sessions, old harness/project trees under ~/paseo, test tasks AUD-161/162/166–171, duplicate shell panes, opened ocr/lazygit panes.
Open choices presented to user (six cleanup/doc options) — awaiting user selection on what to do first and whether to close junk sessions.
## Evidence
- Confidence: 80%
- Reason: Sanitized snapshot tying together the turn's multi-part discovery, useful for a future agent's context.

# Rich discovery: itself 2026-11-11 07:40:01
Sanitized rich discovery snapshot captured automatically from the completed turn.
## Source paths observed
- `8787/v1/chat/completions`
- `8787/v1/messages`
- `20129/v1/chat/completions`
- `paseo/projects/tuios_coding_harness`
## Final answer snapshot
Two things were built and tested; one of them does not work, and I have the measurements.
## Headroom: tested, and it cannot sit in front of your agents yet
I added the provider, called it, and removed it again:
```
POST http://192.168.20.13:8787/v1/chat/completions → 502 {"code":"proxy_error"}
POST http://192.168.20.13:8787/v1/messages → 401 "invalid x-api-key" (Anthropic shape)
POST http://192.168.20.13:20129/v1/chat/completions → 400 (the router's own model naming)
```
Headroom's backend is **Anthropic**: it speaks the Anthropic Messages API and wants an Anthropic key, which this machine does not have. Your `omni` provider speaks the OpenAI API with its own key. So "headroom as an agent" is not a thing — and "headroom in front of an agent" does not work as configured.
Three real options:
1. **Give headroom an Anthropic credential** and move an agent to an Anthropic-shaped provider. Then one agent gets compression; per project still impossible, because the provider is chosen by the agent's model.
2. **Reconfigure headroom** to accept the omni router's OpenAI API and key. That is headroom's configuration, not ours.
3. **Do nothing.** The omni router already routes models. Headroom's only addition would be prompt compression for very long jobs, and you have no measurement showing it pays.
My recommendation is 3 until you have a long job that hurts — the provider entry is removed so no agent can be pointed at a failing endpoint.
## Mouse-1: built and run
`bin/triage <task> [--ask next|failure]` asks one four-option question and writes the answer on the task:
```
AUD-162 Tree render check — waits on the first
asking Mouse-1: next
answer: person (confidence 0.97, 0.5s, attempt 1)
person 0.98 a person has to decide or look at it; a machine should not continue
environment 0.02 something outside the code is wrong: …
redo 0.00 the work is wrong or incomplete, …
merge 0.00 the work is complete, its checks passed, …
written on the task as a comment
```
The cold start reproduced exactly as your notes said: `503` after 30.5 s, then `200` in 21.7 s. The command retries once and prints that it did. Mouse-1 cannot be an agent — it has no tools and writes nothing — but as a labeller it works, and the answer now lives on the task.
## Machines
Measured just now:
| | `.27` sam-4screen-desktop | `.51` sam-thinkpad |
|---|---|---|
| Go | 1.26.2 ✓ | **missing** |
| Nerd Fonts | 98 ✓ | 98 ✓ |
| Pi | 0.82.1 | **0.87.1** |
| TUIOS | 0.12.1 | 0.12.1 |
`.51` needs `go` in its configuration; `.27` is current. Pi differs between machines (0.87 on `.51`, 0.82 on `.13`/`.27`), which is worth aligning before agents run on `.51`.
## The cleanup work — options, in the order I would do them
1. **Old sessions.** `Repair>cleanup` is ready and now confirms before closing. 21 junk sessions remain (`harness-demo-card-*`, `office-test-1*`). I can tick and close them with you watching, or leave you to.
2. **Old harness and old project** (`~/paseo/harness`, `~/paseo/projects/tuios_coding_harness`). Options: leave as read-only reference; tar them into one archive and delete the trees; or delete outright. I would tar first — they are the only record of two earlier attempts.
3. **This build's leftovers**: duplicate shell panes, my test tasks (`AUD-161`, `AUD-162`, `AUD-166`–`171`), the `ocr`/`lazygit` panes I opened. The test tasks are real Paperclip records — I would mark them `cancelled` rather than delete, so the history stays honest.
4. **Documentation with the project-docs skill** — README, Obsidian note, architecture diagram, and a task record. That is a deliberate pass, not a by-product.
5. **Two clean tests**: a brand-new project in a fresh folder (create → task → run → merge), and adopting an existing folder (the harness repo itself). Both are worth a written result.
6. **Handover document** — `docs/HANDOVER.md`: what exists, why each decision was made, what is unproven, and where everything lives.
Say which of those six you want first, and whether I should close the junk sessions myself.
