## 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.
## Evidence
- Confidence: 85%

## 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:
```
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.

# 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.

# Handover
# Handover — where this is, and why
Written 2026-11-09, at the end of the OMA-based attempt, before any code exists here.
Written 2026-11-11. This file is the one to read first after `AGENTS.md`. It says what exists,
what was decided, what is unproven, and where everything lives. The earlier attempts are recorded
at the end, on purpose: they are the evidence for why this one is shaped as it is.
## What we set out to make
## The one-line version
A coding factory inside TUIOS. A person writes a goal; it becomes tasks; each task runs on
its own copy of the code; tests and a review decide whether it is finished; finished work
is merged one at a time; the person is interrupted only to decide. Terminal only. One
project at a time, not the whole machine.
Paperclip owns tasks, blockers, comments, runs, cost and the git worktree for every task. On top
of it is one small Go program with eight screens, running as panes in TUIOS, and a set of small
commands for the parts a screen should not do (merge, review, adopt a folder).
## Attempt one: OMA with our own cockpit
## What is running now
`@open-multi-agent` is a good library. It plans a goal into a task graph, orders it,
verifies output with judges, and records approvals durably. We built a coordinator around
it and then spent two weeks building what it does not have: an approval path, a viewer, a
task starter, a card board, a task tree.
Session `paperclip-harness` on the daemon at `.13`, eight workspaces, one pane each:
**What that cost us.** Each of those was built twice, because two implementations of the
same job disagree. Faults arrived in threes. The same question had two answers, and both
were plausible.
| Workspace>pane | what it shows |
|---|---|
| `Shell>shell` | a prompt in the project folder, preceded by a box saying where everything is |
| `Board>board` | tasks by group, the chosen task, what needs you; `a` assign, `u` unblock, `c` cancel, `/` filter, `t` tools |
| `Work>work` | runs, change, facts, review, log, merge; `n`/`p` walk tasks, `enter` opens a run's log, `m` merges after asking, `v` reviews |
| `Agents>agents` | roster, runs, log, settings, skills, extensions; `p`/`P`/`w` pause, resume, wake; `space` toggles a skill or extension for that agent |
| `Reply>reply` | the task, the thread, a reply box that can also set the status |
| `New task>new` | the five-field form, what each field means, and exactly what the agent will be sent |
| `Project>project` | overview (dashboard), facts, costs with bars, settings and limits, adopted projects |
| `Repair>repair` | health checks, the live layout, the rebuild log, and session cleanup |
**The other mistakes, plainly.**
`R` in any of them rebuilds the whole layout. `r` re-reads the data. `?` lists the keys.
- Nothing ran end to end on a small plan. Every failure had several possible causes, so
every fix was a guess and several were wrong.
- The interface came first: nine pages, panes, notes, filters — before one task had passed
one test.
- A plan that was re-run was re-planned, which silently discarded the dependencies that
made it safe. Layout ran before content existed.
- Task state was guessed from folder names, so old work coloured new cards. One panel said
"refuse" about a task that had never run.
- The pane layout was lost twice. TUIOS deletes a workspace whose last pane closes, and a
repair command did not carry the project name with it.
- I reported "fixed and verified" far too often for something I had only dry-run.
Commands beside the panes: `bin/office <folder>` (adopt, create the session, build the panes),
`bin/board` (build or repair), `bin/merge <task>` (rebase, check, review, merge, re-check),
`bin/review <task>` (the review alone), `bin/triage <task>` (ask Mouse-1 one question),
`bin/project-reset`, `bin/shell-banner`.
## What we achieved and keep
## The decisions that matter, and why
- A page layout and page notes written in plain language.
- A project convention: `.harness/settings.toml`, role files, page notes, a to-do list per
project, a verify command.
- `office` to open a project; `project-reset` to start one again cleanly.
- A real understanding of what an approval must be (content-bound, stale-proof) and what a
per-task check must be (a command, agreed before the work, run by something other than
the agent).
- The knowledge that OMA is a viable fallback: see `docs/FALLBACK-OMA.md`.
1. **Paperclip owns the facts.** Tasks, blockers, comments, approvals, runs, cost and worktrees
are read from it every time and never copied. Two screens cannot disagree because there is
only one record.
2. **One project is one folder on one machine**, remembered in `<folder>/.harness/harness.toml`
with its session, machine and the task being watched. That file is all we store.
3. **Choosing a task is one act.** `enter` on the board writes the choice into that file and the
other panes follow within a second. No messages between programs.
4. **A task is finished when the agent says so**; a review stage or `ocr` can refuse the change;
a project's `check.sh` is a regression check at merge time, not the definition of done.
5. **The merge is a decision, so it asks.** `m`, then a dialog naming the branch and the base
branch, then `y`. It takes a lock, so two merges cannot overlap.
6. **Keys follow TUIOS's rules.** TUIOS keeps `h j k l z n` and also `[ ] tab , . = ;` and the
digits. Tabs are switched with `(` and `)`; movement is arrows or `j k`; a bare `Esc` closes a
box and never quits.
7. **Nothing hardcodes a size.** Every pane re-asks the terminal for its size on each refresh,
because TUIOS can re-tile panes without the program hearing about it, and a stale size is what
"broken border" always turned out to be.
## Attempt two: understanding instead of building
## What is proven, with the measurement
We read OMA's documentation, then read Paperclip's API and probed it. That ended the
guessing. The measurements are in `docs/PAPERCLIP-API-NOTES.md`.
- Assignment wakes Pi within 0.1 s; a task went todo → in progress → done in 28 s; the comment
named the commit; cost 1 cent. (`docs/PAPERCLIP-API-NOTES.md`)
- Worktrees are Paperclip's, once `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` is on: branch
`AUD-160-milestone-1-t2-read-hello-txt` at `…/.paperclip/worktrees/…`.
- The review gate refuses a real problem: `ocr` found `rm -rf "$HOME/tmp"` deleting `/tmp` when
`HOME` is empty, and the merge was refused.
- A task with two runs shows two: `AUD-166` has `assignment` then `automation` (Paperclip's
corrective wake).
- Per-agent skills work: adding `archify` to `Builder` changed that agent's list and no other.
- A new project was adopted end to end today: `bin/office /tmp/fresh-project-2026-11-11` created
the session and built all eight panes without a person running `tuios new`.
- Mouse-1 answers in ~0.5 s warm; the cold start is real (503 after 30.5 s, then 200 in 21.7 s).
## Why Paperclip, in one paragraph
## What is unproven
The four screens you want are already its data model: tasks with todo / in progress /
blocked / done, blockers as links between tasks, comment threads on each task, approvals
as records, cost per task, and run history. It also creates the git worktree for a task
itself — the piece we were going to build next and the piece most likely to break. So the
work that remains is small and specific: one Go terminal program, and a thin executor
where Paperclip's own worker does not cover our review step.
- Opening a project whose session is on **another daemon** (`switch-session` with `host`), because
a pane is refused the right to move the person's client at all.
- Clicking a task row with the mouse: the zones are wired, nobody has clicked.
- A task whose blocker is still open: does the agent stay away until it closes?
- Headroom in front of any agent: its backend is Anthropic and this machine has no Anthropic
credential, so the provider entry was removed after testing. See `docs/PLAN-INTERFACE.md`.
## What is ours because Paperclip does not do it
## Machines, measured 2026-11-11
- One project in one folder, on one machine, and remembering which machine.
- The page layout, and repairing it after a crash or on a new host.
- Creating, adopting, resetting and deleting a project.
- `ocr` code review over a diff, and the merge order (one at a time, re-checked).
- The test that decides a task is finished, kept with the project.
- The notes: what each screen is for.
| | `.13` nixos-desktop | `.27` sam-4screen | `.51` sam-thinkpad |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | 1.26.5 | 1.26.2 | **missing** |
| Nerd Fonts | 384 files | 98 | 98 |
| Pi | 0.82.1 | 0.82.1 | **0.87.1** |
| TUIOS | 0.12.1 | 0.12.1 | 0.12.1 |
## The pitfalls that would sink a third attempt
`.51` needs Go added; Pi differs between machines and is worth aligning before agents run there.
1. Building a second copy of anything Paperclip owns.
2. Styling a screen before a real task has run.
3. Testing with a six-task plan instead of a two-task one.
4. Judging a task by a folder name.
5. Letting a page have no permanent pane — it will vanish when TUIOS renumbers.
6. Using an agent key where a person's key is required.
7. Re-planning a stored plan.
8. Reporting work as done without a command that shows it.
## The earlier attempts, kept on purpose
## Where the old project is
Two attempts came before this one and both are still on disk, deliberately:
`~/paseo/projects/tuios_coding_harness` (plans, history) and `~/paseo/harness` (the code).
Both are untouched by this handover and remain as reference. `docs/OPEN-ISSUES.md` lists
what is broken or unfinished there, in case you go back.
- `~/paseo/projects/tuios_coding_harness` — plans, notes and history.
- `~/paseo/harness` — the code.
They are **read-only reference**. When this project is finished and you are comfortable, they can
be archived into a single tarball and the trees deleted. Until then they are the record of what
went wrong, and you want them for your own account of the work: attempt one built an interface
before anything ran, attempt two measured instead of building, and this one runs a task end to end
before styling a screen. Nothing in this project was copied from them except understanding.
## Where each document lives
`docs/DOCMAP.md` is the index. The ones worth knowing: `PLAN-INTERFACE.md` (the plan and the
findings), `WORKSPACES.md` (every workspace and pane), `RUNS-AND-MERGE.md` (task, run, merge),
`TEST-PLAN.md` (every key and expected result), `SESSIONS.md` (TUIOS sessions, Pi conversations,
cleanup), `NEXT.md` (what is left), `OPERATING-RULES.md`, `TUIOS-RUNBOOK.md`,
`PAPERCLIP-API-NOTES.md`, `ENVIRONMENT-FACTS.md`.
