## Is everything working — measured just now
|
||||
|
||||
| | State | Evidence |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Pi** | 1.5.0 on all three, same bytes | `.13`, `.27`, `.51` all resolve to `/nix/store/4yxlfj0…-pi-coding-agent-1.5.0` |
|
||||
| **Paperclip** | running, `2026.916.1` | service active, `GET /api/health` 200, web UI 200 at `http://127.0.0.1:3100/` |
|
||||
| **Agent runs** | working again | 3 runs failed before the shim, then succeeded (69 s, then 24 s) |
|
||||
| **omniroute** | working | `/v1/models` returns **486** models, a direct completion returns 200 |
|
||||
| **headroom** | tool yes, provider no | `/v1/compress` 200 with `messages`; `/v1/chat/completions` returns **502** for both `auto/cheap` and `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`; `/stats` shows 153 requests, 2 compressed |
|
||||
| **TUIOS** | 0.12.1 | both sessions' 8 panes verified by process: each runs `bin/harness -screen …` |
|
||||
|
||||
One thing worth knowing about headroom: my earlier `compress` call returned 400 because I sent `text`; it wants `messages`. Tool path is fine. Provider path is still broken for the same reason as before — its LiteLLM has no entry for the router's model ids.
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI versus web — they are the same thing
|
||||
|
||||
There is no separate web backend. Port 3100 serves the HTML at `/` and the JSON at `/api/...` from one process and one Postgres database. So a cost problem on the web is an **API and aggregation** problem, not a web problem — and you can see the same fault in my terminal panes, which is how I found it.
|
||||
|
||||
Two separate faults, both measured:
|
||||
|
||||
**1. `costCents` is a whole number, so small tasks show zero.**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
AUD-173 costCents 0 inputTokens 13023 outputTokens 2253
|
||||
usageJson.costUsd = 0.001934786 → 0.19 cents → displayed as 0
|
||||
AUD-163 costCents 3 303609 input tokens → 2.9 cents → displayed as 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Any task that costs less than half a cent reads as free. On the web that looks like "costs aren't working"; the exact figure is in each run's `usageJson`.
|
||||
|
||||
**2. One task's summary is stale and I cannot explain it away.**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
AUD-172 costCents 0 inputTokens 0 outputTokens 0 runCount 4 runtimeMs 81645
|
||||
its successful run's usageJson: 34217 input, 7187 output, $0.014134
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`runtimeMs` proves the summary did aggregate all four runs. But tokens and cost are zero, while the run record holds both. So the per-task summary was computed before that run's usage was written and never recomputed. AUD-173 and AUD-163 summarise correctly, so it is not universal.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a Paperclip-side defect, in the endpoint the web uses. `docs/NEXT.md` records it with these numbers. I am not going to patch Paperclip's internals without you asking me to.

## While writing it I found `--host` could never have worked
|
||||
|
||||
It ran `office` on the other machine at *this* machine's path, so it needed the repository to exist there at the same location. `.27` and `.51` have no repository at all. It also checked the folder existed **locally** before deciding the folder was remote, so it always answered "no folder at …".
|
||||
|
||||
Both fixed. `--host` now copies `bin/` to `~/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/` on the other machine, leaves a short `~/.local/bin/office` there, and the folder is checked on the machine that owns it. Verified against both machines:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ office /tmp/office-remote-test --new office-remote-test --host sam-4screen-desktop --dry
|
||||
on sam-4screen-desktop: exec "$HOME/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/office" …
|
||||
would create a Paperclip project 'office-remote-test' for /tmp/office-remote-test
|
||||
dry run: nothing was written
|
||||
switch to it: tuios attach --host sam-4screen-desktop office-remote-test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`.27` and `.51` now have the commands and a working `--help`. One gap remains: **`~/.local/bin` is not on `PATH` on either machine**, so bare `office` does not resolve there — the full path does:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
~/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/office <folder>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Fixing that is one line in each machine's home-manager config (`home.sessionPath = [ "$HOME/.local/bin" ]`), and one rebuild. Say the word and I will add it to both and hand you the two commands.

## Update (2026-11-12 06:13:12)
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-host NixOS dev setup used to drive `office` CLI work across three machines.
|
||||
|
||||
Hosts and roles:
|
||||
- 192.168.20.13 (host alias `nixos-desktop`): primary desktop; had ~/.local/bin on home-manager PATH all along (so `office` works there). Source of folders when driving other hosts: `office <folder> --project "<Name>" --host nixos-desktop`.
|
||||
- 192.168.20.27 (sam-4screen-desktop): 4-screen desktop; Android SDK lives outside Nix at ~/Android/Sdk (nix-ld block in configuration.nix), with cmdline-tools/latest/bin and platform-tools on sessionPath. Also has ~/bin on PATH.
|
||||
- 192.168.20.51 (sam-thinkpad): laptop; minimal sessionPath.
|
||||
|
||||
Config layout: /etc/nixos/home/sam/home.nix per host (home-manager). Common sessionVariables: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland, QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION=1, GOOSE_DISABLE_KEYRING=1, NIXOS_OZONE_WL=1 (Electron/Obsidian), FALCODE_NOTIFY_SCRIPT=/bin/true. Both desktops use gtk Adwaita-dark via gnome-themes-extra.
|
||||
|
||||
office CLI: installed at ~/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/office with wrapper at ~/.local/bin/office. Supports `--host <machine>` to copy commands to another host, and `--new` / `--project` flags. Repo commit 3043e9d fixed `office --help` and `--host`.
|
||||
|
||||
Operational note: home-manager-only changes are safe to `nixos-rebuild switch` (only home-manager-sam.service restarts); avoid changes that move nixpkgs system packages or touch networking unless intended.
|
||||
|
||||
## Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
- Confidence: 80%
|
||||
- Reason: Durable component/fleet overview: host roles, config layout, shared env vars, CLI install paths, and safe-rebuild convention.

## Update (2026-11-12 06:13:12)
|
||||
|
||||
Deliverable: put `~/.local/bin` on home-manager PATH on the two NixOS hosts missing it so the paperclip-harness `office` wrapper becomes reachable.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes: one line in /etc/nixos/home/sam/home.nix on each of 192.168.20.27 (sam-4screen-desktop) and 192.168.20.51 (sam-thinkpad): prepend `${config.home.homeDirectory}/.local/bin` to `home.sessionPath`. 192.168.20.13 (nixos-desktop) required no change.
|
||||
|
||||
Artifacts / commits:
|
||||
- .27: master c2d10d6 "home: put ~/.local/bin on PATH" (pushed f56f053..c2d10d6)
|
||||
- .51: main ea2cb86 "home: put ~/.local/bin on PATH" (pushed 40ccd7e..ea2cb86)
|
||||
- paperclip-harness: 3043e9d (office --help / --host fix)
|
||||
- Backups: home/sam/home.nix.bak-path on both hosts
|
||||
|
||||
Validation: both builds succeeded; closures produced for sam-4screen-desktop and sam-thinkpad. `switch` not yet confirmed by the user; post-switch checks are `grep -c '.local/bin'` on PATH and `office --help` in a new shell.
|
||||
|
||||
Follow-up: machines can then drive each other via `office <folder> --project|--new ... --host <name>`; --host copies commands, so a host that never saw the repo still works.
|
||||
|
||||
## Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
- Confidence: 90%
|
||||
- Reason: Concrete completed edits, commit hashes, build validation, and pending verification steps.

## Update (2026-11-12 06:13:12)
|
||||
|
||||
Before fix, only .13 had `~/.local/bin` in home.sessionPath; .27 and .51 did not, which is why `office` failed there despite the wrapper existing.
|
||||
|
||||
Post-patch sessionPath:
|
||||
- .27: ${home}/.local/bin, ${home}/.local/share/npm-global/bin, ${home}/bin, Android SDK cmdline-tools/latest/bin, Android SDK platform-tools
|
||||
- .51: ${home}/.local/bin, ${home}/.local/share/npm-global/bin
|
||||
- .13 (unchanged): /home/sam/.cargo/bin, /home/sam/.local/bin, $HOME/.local/share/npm-global/bin
|
||||
|
||||
Build outputs already present so switch is fast:
|
||||
- .27: /nix/store/3g5j39n0kxdfzv7l311vckczmsz2ca17-nixos-system-sam-4screen-desktop-26.11.20260729.0954f7e
|
||||
- .51: /nix/store/hl6mby792nq37d5cm87nk567jck86d9w-nixos-system-sam-thinkpad-26.11.20260926.e158d9e
|
||||
|
||||
Caveat: existing interactive shells keep the old PATH; verification must be in a new shell.
|
||||
|
||||
## Detailed observations from completed turn
|
||||
|
||||
## Rebuild these two machines only
|
||||
|
||||
**`.27` (sam-4screen-desktop):**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#sam-4screen-desktop
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**`.51` (sam-thinkpad):**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#sam-thinkpad
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**`.13` needs nothing.** It already has `/home/sam/.local/bin` on `PATH` — that is why `office` works there — and I changed nothing else on it.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I changed, and why `switch` is safe this time
|
||||
|
||||
One line in each machine's `home/sam/home.nix`:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
home.sessionPath = [
|
||||
"${config.home.homeDirectory}/.local/bin"
|
||||
...
|
||||
];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That is a home-manager setting, not a nixpkgs change. No system package moves, so the only unit that restarts is `home-manager-sam.service`. Unlike the last time, nothing on the network side is touched.
|
||||
|
||||
Both systems are **already built**, so each `switch` is seconds, not a download:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.27 /nix/store/3g5j39n0kxdfzv7l311vckczmsz2ca17-nixos-system-sam-4screen-desktop-26.11.20260729.0954f7e
|
||||
.51 /nix/store/hl6mby792nq37d5cm87nk567jck86d9w-nixos-system-sam-thinkpad-26.11.20260926.e158d9e
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What to check afterwards
|
||||
|
||||
On each of `.27` and `.51`, in a **new** shell (the old one keeps the old `PATH`):
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | grep -c '.local/bin' # expect 1
|
||||
office --help # should print the help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`office` was already copied to both machines as `~/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/office`, with a wrapper at `~/.local/bin/office`. The wrapper was there but unreachable; this rebuild is what puts it on `PATH`.
|
||||
|
||||
From then on, every machine can drive every other one:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
office <folder> --project "<Name>" --host nixos-desktop # folder on .13
|
||||
office <folder> --new "<Name>" --host sam-thinkpad # folder on .51
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`--host` copies the commands to the named machine each time, so a machine that has never seen this repository still works.
|
||||
|
||||
## Committed and pushed
|
||||
|
||||
- `.27` → `c2d10d6` on `nixos-4screen`
|
||||
- `.51` → `ea2cb86` on `nixos-thinkpad`
|
||||
- `paperclip-harness` → `3043e9d` (the `office --help` and `--host` fix)
|
||||
|
||||
Backups kept as `home/sam/home.nix.bak-path` on both, if you want to see the exact diff before switching.
|
||||
|
||||
## Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
- Confidence: 85%
|
||||
- Reason: Factual per-host config deltas, exact store paths, and a practical PATH caveat.; enriched with final-answer detail because persistence should be reusable

## Update (2026-11-12 06:13:12)
|
||||
|
||||
Trigger: `office` is not found on a NixOS box because `~/.local/bin` is missing from home-manager's sessionPath.
|
||||
|
||||
Prerequisites: SSH access to the host; edits already made to /etc/nixos/home/sam/home.nix; a backup at home/sam/home.nix.bak-path.
|
||||
|
||||
Which machines: only 192.168.20.27 (sam-4screen-desktop) and 192.168.20.51 (sam-thinkpad) need the rebuild. 192.168.20.13 (nixos-desktop) already had ~/.local/bin on PATH and was not changed.
|
||||
|
||||
Steps:
|
||||
1. On .27: `sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#sam-4screen-desktop`
|
||||
2. On .51: `sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#sam-thinkpad`
|
||||
Both are pre-built (no download); typically seconds.
|
||||
3. Verify in a NEW shell (old shell keeps stale PATH):
|
||||
`echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | grep -c '.local/bin'` -> expect 1
|
||||
`office --help` -> should print help
|
||||
|
||||
Expected system closures: .27 -> ...-nixos-system-sam-4screen-desktop-26.11.20260729.0954f7e; .51 -> ...-nixos-system-sam-thinkpad-26.11.20260926.e158d9e.
|
||||
|
||||
Scope/safety: home-manager-only change (home.sessionPath), so only home-manager-sam.service restarts. No system package moves and no network changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Rollback: restore home/sam/home.nix.bak-path over home/sam/home.nix and re-run the same nixos-rebuild switch command on that host (or git revert the commit: .27 c2d10d6, .51 ea2cb86).
|
||||
|
||||
Troubleshooting: if `office` still isn't found, confirm wrapper exists at ~/.local/bin/office pointing at ~/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/office, then open a fresh login shell.
|
||||
|
||||
## Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
- Confidence: 90%
|
||||
- Reason: Repeatable, evidence-backed multi-host procedures with exact commands, verification, expected outputs, and rollback.

# NixOS fleet PATH fix rollout: .27 and .51 need home rebuild, .13 already correct
|
||||
|
||||
Goal: make the `office` CLI (from paperclip-harness) reachable on all three NixOS machines by getting `~/.local/bin` onto home-manager PATH.
|
||||
|
||||
Findings per machine (config at /etc/nixos/home/sam/home.nix on each):
|
||||
- 192.168.20.13 (nixos-desktop): already had `/home/sam/.local/bin` in `home.sessionPath` (line ~4, alongside /home/sam/.cargo/bin and npm-global bin). Why `office` already works there. NOT changed.
|
||||
- 192.168.20.27 (sam-4screen-desktop): sessionPath originally only npm-global bin + $HOME/bin + Android SDK paths; missing `~/.local/bin`. PATCHED.
|
||||
- 192.168.20.51 (sam-thinkpad): sessionPath originally only npm-global bin; missing `~/.local/bin`. PATCHED.
|
||||
|
||||
Patch applied (one line, prefixed first in home.sessionPath using `${config.home.homeDirectory}/.local/bin`):
|
||||
- .27 resulting list: .local/bin, .local/share/npm-global/bin, ~/bin, Android SDK cmdline-tools + platform-tools (with comment that Android SDK is NOT Nix-managed, see nix-ld block in configuration.nix).
|
||||
- .51 resulting list: .local/bin, .local/share/npm-global/bin.
|
||||
|
||||
Shared home.sessionVariables on both: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland, QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION=1, GOOSE_DISABLE_KEYRING=1, NIXOS_OZONE_WL=1, FALCODE_NOTIFY_SCRIPT=/bin/true. .27 additionally sets ANDROID_HOME / ANDROID_SDK_ROOT to ~/Android/Sdk. Both use gtk with Adwaita-dark (gnome-themes-extra).
|
||||
|
||||
Build results (already built, no download needed at switch time):
|
||||
- .27 -> /nix/store/3g5j39n0kxdfzv7l311vckczmsz2ca17-nixos-system-sam-4screen-desktop-26.11.20260729.0954f7e
|
||||
- .51 -> /nix/store/hl6mby792nq37d5cm87nk567jck86d9w-nixos-system-sam-thinkpad-26.11.20260926.e158d9e
|
||||
|
||||
Commits pushed:
|
||||
- .27 branch master -> c2d10d6 "home: put ~/.local/bin on PATH" (f56f053..c2d10d6)
|
||||
- .51 branch main -> ea2cb86 "home: put ~/.local/bin on PATH" (40ccd7e..ea2cb86)
|
||||
- paperclip-harness -> 3043e9d (office --help and --host fix)
|
||||
|
||||
Safety note: change is home-manager-only, so only home-manager-sam.service restarts; no nixpkgs/system package movement, network config untouched (unlike a previous incident). Backups left at home/sam/home.nix.bak-path on both .27 and .51.
|
||||
|
||||
`office` binary already copied to .27 and .51 at ~/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/office with wrapper ~/.local/bin/office that was unreachable until rebuild.
|
||||
|
||||
Cross-machine usage: `office <folder> --project "<Name>" --host nixos-desktop` (folder lives on .13) or `office <folder> --new "<Name>" --host sam-thinkpad`; `--host` copies commands to the named machine so a machine that has never seen the repo still works.
|
||||
|
||||
## Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
- Confidence: 85%
|
||||
- Reason: Rich sanitized snapshot of a multi-machine config discovery, patch, build, and commit rollout with exact hostnames, paths, store outputs, and commit hashes.

# Rich discovery: nix 2026-11-12 05:27:33
|
||||
|
||||
Sanitized rich discovery snapshot captured automatically from the completed turn.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Source paths observed
|
||||
|
||||
- `HOME/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/office`
|
||||
- `tmp/office-remote-test/.harness/harness.toml`
|
||||
- `.local/bin/office`
|
||||
- `.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin`
|
||||
- `.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/office`
|
||||
- `nix/store/4yxlfj0`
|
||||
- `v1/chat/completions`
|
||||
- `HOME/.local/bin`
|
||||
|
||||
## Final answer snapshot
|
||||
|
||||
## Is everything working — measured just now
|
||||
|
||||
| | State | Evidence |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Pi** | 1.5.0 on all three, same bytes | `.13`, `.27`, `.51` all resolve to `/nix/store/4yxlfj0…-pi-coding-agent-1.5.0` |
|
||||
| **Paperclip** | running, `2026.916.1` | service active, `GET /api/health` 200, web UI 200 at `http://127.0.0.1:3100/` |
|
||||
| **Agent runs** | working again | 3 runs failed before the shim, then succeeded (69 s, then 24 s) |
|
||||
| **omniroute** | working | `/v1/models` returns **486** models, a direct completion returns 200 |
|
||||
| **headroom** | tool yes, provider no | `/v1/compress` 200 with `messages`; `/v1/chat/completions` returns **502** for both `auto/cheap` and `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`; `/stats` shows 153 requests, 2 compressed |
|
||||
| **TUIOS** | 0.12.1 | both sessions' 8 panes verified by process: each runs `bin/harness -screen …` |
|
||||
|
||||
One thing worth knowing about headroom: my earlier `compress` call returned 400 because I sent `text`; it wants `messages`. Tool path is fine. Provider path is still broken for the same reason as before — its LiteLLM has no entry for the router's model ids.
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI versus web — they are the same thing
|
||||
|
||||
There is no separate web backend. Port 3100 serves the HTML at `/` and the JSON at `/api/...` from one process and one Postgres database. So a cost problem on the web is an **API and aggregation** problem, not a web problem — and you can see the same fault in my terminal panes, which is how I found it.
|
||||
|
||||
Two separate faults, both measured:
|
||||
|
||||
**1. `costCents` is a whole number, so small tasks show zero.**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
AUD-173 costCents 0 inputTokens 13023 outputTokens 2253
|
||||
usageJson.costUsd = 0.001934786 → 0.19 cents → displayed as 0
|
||||
AUD-163 costCents 3 303609 input tokens → 2.9 cents → displayed as 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Any task that costs less than half a cent reads as free. On the web that looks like "costs aren't working"; the exact figure is in each run's `usageJson`.
|
||||
|
||||
**2. One task's summary is stale and I cannot explain it away.**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
AUD-172 costCents 0 inputTokens 0 outputTokens 0 runCount 4 runtimeMs 81645
|
||||
its successful run's usageJson: 34217 input, 7187 output, $0.014134
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`runtimeMs` proves the summary did aggregate all four runs. But tokens and cost are zero, while the run record holds both. So the per-task summary was computed before that run's usage was written and never recomputed. AUD-173 and AUD-163 summarise correctly, so it is not universal.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a Paperclip-side defect, in the endpoint the web uses. `docs/NEXT.md` records it with these numbers. I am not going to patch Paperclip's internals without you asking me to.
|
||||
|
||||
## `office --help`
|
||||
|
||||
```

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## While writing it I found `--host` could never have worked
|
||||
|
||||
It ran `office` on the other machine at *this* machine's path, so it needed the repository to exist there at the same location. `.27` and `.51` have no repository at all. It also checked the folder existed **locally** before deciding the folder was remote, so it always answered "no folder at …".
|
||||
|
||||
Both fixed. `--host` now copies `bin/` to `~/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/` on the other machine, leaves a short `~/.local/bin/office` there, and the folder is checked on the machine that owns it. Verified against both machines:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ office /tmp/office-remote-test --new office-remote-test --host sam-4screen-desktop --dry
|
||||
on sam-4screen-desktop: exec "$HOME/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/office" …
|
||||
would create a Paperclip project 'office-remote-test' for /tmp/office-remote-test
|
||||
dry run: nothing was written
|
||||
switch to it: tuios attach --host sam-4screen-desktop office-remote-test
|
||||
```
|
||||

`.27` and `.51` now have the commands and a working `--help`. One gap remains: **`~/.local/bin` is not on `PATH` on either machine**, so bare `office` does not resolve there — the full path does:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
~/.local/share/paperclip-harness/bin/office <folder>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Fixing that is one line in each machine's home-manager config (`home.sessionPath = [ "$HOME/.local/bin" ]`), and one rebuild. Say the word and I will add it to both and hand you the two commands.

Committed and pushed: `paperclip-harness` → `3043e9d`.
