## Update (2026-11-11 08:00:32)
Repository/workspace paperclip-harness. Key components: TUI written in Go (`paperclip-harness/tui`, e.g. `board.go`) with panes shell, board, work, agents, reply, new, project, repair across TUIOS workspaces 1–8. `bin/office <folder>` bootstraps a workspace: adopts folder, creates TUIOS session via daemon verb (refused when requested from within a pane), writes `.harness/harness.toml` and scaffold, builds eight panes. Board supports task lifecycle incl. new cancel action (`c`). Integrations: headroom via headroom-bridge extension tools; TUIOS 0.12.1 on all machines. Docs: HANDOVER.md is the primary first-read doc. Pi agent state under ~/.pi/agent (npm extensions in ~/.pi/agent/npm).
## Detailed context from completed turn
Straight answers, then what I built tonight.
## Headroom — you were right that a path exists, and it is the tool, not the provider
The `headroom-bridge` extension gives an agent two tools: `compress_for_agent` and `check_headroom`. That is the integration that fits: headroom shortens text an agent is about to pass on, rather than standing between the agent and its model.
Measured directly, without the extension:
```
POST http://192.168.20.13:8787/v1/compress {"model":…, "messages":[…]} → 200
{tokens_before: 4009, tokens_after: 4009, tokens_saved: 0,
transforms_applied: ["router:protected:user_message"]}
```
The endpoint works and reports honestly; one long user message is protected from compression, which is why it saved nothing in that test.
One blocker, measured: the extension imports `headroom-ai`, and that package is **not** in `~/.pi/agent/npm`, so it will fail to import until it is installed. After that, the extensions picker in `Agents>agents` gives it to one agent (`space`), and only that agent. As a *provider* it does not work: 502 on OpenAI requests, 401 on Anthropic ones, because its backend is Anthropic and this machine has no Anthropic credential. I removed the provider entry so no agent can point at a failing endpoint.
## Machines: yes, `.13` and `.27` are behind `.51` on Pi
| | `.13` | `.27` | `.51` |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pi | 0.82.1 | 0.82.1 | **0.87.1** |
| Go | 1.26.5 | 1.26.2 | **missing** |
| Nerd Fonts | 384 | 98 | 98 |
| TUIOS | 0.12.1 | 0.12.1 | 0.12.1 |
`.51` needs Go added to its configuration; `.13`/`.27` are on the same Pi and could be bumped to 0.87 for consistency. That is a flake change, not something I should do without you watching the rebuild.
## Cancelled — the option now exists
There was no way to cancel, so I added it: `c` in `Board>board`, with a dialog that says the thread, runs and cost stay and nothing is deleted. Tested by cancelling `AUD-162` — and I also cancelled `AUD-159` by mistake while testing (the cursor was not where I thought), then restored it to `done` with a comment recording what happened. Both are now correct: `AUD-162` cancelled, `AUD-159` done.
## The office workflow — the thing you kept asking about
`bin/office <folder>` now does the whole job: adopt the folder, **create the TUIOS session if it does not exist** (via the daemon verb), write `.harness/harness.toml` and the scaffold, and build all eight panes in that session. Proven on a brand-new folder tonight:
```
session: fresh-project-2026-11-11 (created)
… eight panes created, workspaces 1–8
```
One honest limit: moving *your* client to that session is refused when the call comes from a pane — the daemon will not let a program change what you are looking at. So the last step is yours: TUIOS's session switcher, or `tuios attach fresh-project-2026-11-11`.
## Handover written
`HANDOVER.md` is rewritten as the document to read first: what runs now, the seven decisions that shaped it and why, what is proven with the measurement, what is unproven, the machine table, where each document lives — and the note you asked for: the two earlier attempts are kept **on purpose** as the record of failure and re-orientation, to be archived into one tarball only when you are finished with them.
Committed as `404fcc2` and `00abedb`.
## What I propose next, in order
1. **Documentation pass with the project-docs skill** — README, Obsidian note, architecture diagram, task record. This is the one you said yes to and it is the biggest remaining piece.
2. **Two clean tests** — the fresh project (`/tmp/fresh-project-2026-11-11`, already adopted and built) run end to end, and adopting an existing folder (this repository itself).
3. **Machines** — `.51` Go, and decide whether to align Pi to 0.87 everywhere.
4. **`headroom-ai` package** — install it for Pi so `compress_for_agent` becomes available, then give it to one agent and measure.
Say go on 1 and I will run the project-docs pass before anything else.

## Update (2026-11-11 08:00:32)
Deliverables completed:
- Board cancel: `c` key in Board>board with confirm dialog; tested on AUD-162 (cancelled), AUD-159 restored to done after accidental cancel.
- `bin/office <folder>`: now creates the TUIOS session via daemon verb when missing, writes `.harness/harness.toml` and scaffold, builds eight panes. Verified on /tmp/fresh-project-2026-11-11.
- Headroom: documented tool path (compress_for_agent/check_headroom) as the viable integration; removed broken provider entry; provider path documented as blocked (Anthropic credential missing).
- HANDOVER.md rewritten with decisions, proof status, machine table, doc map.
Commits: 404fcc2, 00abedb. Validation: daemon refuses client session switching from within a pane (documented limitation). Proposed next: project-docs pass, two clean end-to-end tests (fresh project + adopting this repo), machine alignment, install headroom-ai for Pi.

## Update (2026-11-11 08:00:32)
Decision: use headroom via the `headroom-bridge` extension tools (`compress_for_agent`, `check_headroom`) rather than configuring it as a model provider.
Context: provider mode fails (502 on OpenAI, 401 on Anthropic — its backend is Anthropic and no Anthropic credential exists here); the tool path measured working (200 from /v1/compress).
Consequences: provider entry removed so no agent can point at a failing endpoint; `headroom-ai` npm package must be installed in ~/.pi/agent/npm before the extension imports; only agents given the extension (e.g. `space`) get it.
Review caveat: compression may save 0 tokens when content is protected (router:protected:user_message).

## Update (2026-11-11 08:00:32)
Bash discovery of TUIOS session state: panes list was `[(1, None), (1, 'shell'), (2, 'board'), (3, 'work'), (4, 'agents'), (5, 'reply'), (6, 'new'), (7, 'project'), (8, 'repair')]` — eight named panes plus default. The Board pane requires 80×24 but the panel rendered at 78×22, showing 'This workspace needs 80 × 24. This panel is 78 × 22. Make it larger, or use Tab and zoom.' Caveat for future: board pane may not render correctly at default terminal sizes. Also observed a compile error during testing: `./board.go:177:22: cannot use rows (variable of type []Row) as Row value in array or slice literal` in paperclip-harness/tui.
## Detailed observations from completed turn
Straight answers, then what I built tonight.
## Headroom — you were right that a path exists, and it is the tool, not the provider
The `headroom-bridge` extension gives an agent two tools: `compress_for_agent` and `check_headroom`. That is the integration that fits: headroom shortens text an agent is about to pass on, rather than standing between the agent and its model.
Measured directly, without the extension:
```
POST http://192.168.20.13:8787/v1/compress {"model":…, "messages":[…]} → 200
{tokens_before: 4009, tokens_after: 4009, tokens_saved: 0,
transforms_applied: ["router:protected:user_message"]}
```
The endpoint works and reports honestly; one long user message is protected from compression, which is why it saved nothing in that test.
One blocker, measured: the extension imports `headroom-ai`, and that package is **not** in `~/.pi/agent/npm`, so it will fail to import until it is installed. After that, the extensions picker in `Agents>agents` gives it to one agent (`space`), and only that agent. As a *provider* it does not work: 502 on OpenAI requests, 401 on Anthropic ones, because its backend is Anthropic and this machine has no Anthropic credential. I removed the provider entry so no agent can point at a failing endpoint.
## Machines: yes, `.13` and `.27` are behind `.51` on Pi
| | `.13` | `.27` | `.51` |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pi | 0.82.1 | 0.82.1 | **0.87.1** |
| Go | 1.26.5 | 1.26.2 | **missing** |
| Nerd Fonts | 384 | 98 | 98 |
| TUIOS | 0.12.1 | 0.12.1 | 0.12.1 |
`.51` needs Go added to its configuration; `.13`/`.27` are on the same Pi and could be bumped to 0.87 for consistency. That is a flake change, not something I should do without you watching the rebuild.
## Cancelled — the option now exists
There was no way to cancel, so I added it: `c` in `Board>board`, with a dialog that says the thread, runs and cost stay and nothing is deleted. Tested by cancelling `AUD-162` — and I also cancelled `AUD-159` by mistake while testing (the cursor was not where I thought), then restored it to `done` with a comment recording what happened. Both are now correct: `AUD-162` cancelled, `AUD-159` done.
## The office workflow — the thing you kept asking about
`bin/office <folder>` now does the whole job: adopt the folder, **create the TUIOS session if it does not exist** (via the daemon verb), write `.harness/harness.toml` and the scaffold, and build all eight panes in that session. Proven on a brand-new folder tonight:
```
session: fresh-project-2026-11-11 (created)
… eight panes created, workspaces 1–8
```
One honest limit: moving *your* client to that session is refused when the call comes from a pane — the daemon will not let a program change what you are looking at. So the last step is yours: TUIOS's session switcher, or `tuios attach fresh-project-2026-11-11`.
## Handover written
`HANDOVER.md` is rewritten as the document to read first: what runs now, the seven decisions that shaped it and why, what is proven with the measurement, what is unproven, the machine table, where each document lives — and the note you asked for: the two earlier attempts are kept **on purpose** as the record of failure and re-orientation, to be archived into one tarball only when you are finished with them.
Committed as `404fcc2` and `00abedb`.
## What I propose next, in order
1. **Documentation pass with the project-docs skill** — README, Obsidian note, architecture diagram, task record. This is the one you said yes to and it is the biggest remaining piece.
2. **Two clean tests** — the fresh project (`/tmp/fresh-project-2026-11-11`, already adopted and built) run end to end, and adopting an existing folder (this repository itself).
3. **Machines** — `.51` Go, and decide whether to align Pi to 0.87 everywhere.
4. **`headroom-ai` package** — install it for Pi so `compress_for_agent` becomes available, then give it to one agent and measure.
Say go on 1 and I will run the project-docs pass before anything else.

# paperclip-harness: headroom integration, machine drift, cancel feature, office workflow
Discovery snapshot from a completed night of work on the paperclip-harness workspace.
Headroom integration: the `headroom-bridge` extension exposes two agent tools, `compress_for_agent` and `check_headroom`; this tool-path (not provider-path) is the correct integration. Direct measurement: POST http://192.168.20.13:8787/v1/compress with {model, messages} returns 200 with {tokens_before:4009, tokens_after:4009, tokens_saved:0, transforms_applied:["router:protected:user_message"]} — endpoint works but protected a single long user message so saved nothing. Blocker: the extension imports `headroom-ai`, which is NOT in ~/.pi/agent/npm, so it will fail to import until installed. As a *provider* it fails: 502 on OpenAI requests, 401 on Anthropic (backend is Anthropic, no Anthropic credential on this machine); the provider entry was removed so no agent points at it.
Machine drift (Pi/Go/Nerd Fonts/TUIOS): .13 Pi 0.82.1, Go 1.26.5, Nerd Fonts 384, TUIOS 0.12.1; .27 Pi 0.82.1, Go 1.26.2, Nerd Fonts 98, TUIOS 0.12.1; .51 Pi 0.87.1, Go missing, Nerd Fonts 98, TUIOS 0.12.1. .51 needs Go added to config; .13/.27 could be bumped to Pi 0.87 for consistency (flake change, not done without supervision).
Board cancel feature: `c` in Board>board opens a dialog stating thread/runs/cost stay and nothing is deleted. Tested by cancelling AUD-162; AUD-159 was accidentally cancelled during testing and restored to `done` with an explanatory comment.
Office workflow: `bin/office <folder>` adopts a folder, creates the TUIOS session via the daemon verb if absent, writes `.harness/harness.toml` + scaffold, and builds all eight panes. Proven on fresh-project-2026-11-11 (session created, workspaces 1–8). Limit: daemon refuses client session moves originating from a pane; user must switch/attach manually (e.g. `tuios attach fresh-project-2026-11-11`).
Docs: HANDOVER.md rewritten as first-read document (seven shaping decisions, proven vs unproven, machine table, doc map; two earlier failure attempts intentionally kept). Commits `404fcc2` and `00abedb`.

The `headroom-bridge` extension gives an agent two tools: `compress_for_agent` and `check_headroom`. That is the integration that fits: headroom shortens text an agent is about to pass on, rather than standing between the agent and its model.

## Handover written
`HANDOVER.md` is rewritten as the document to read first: what runs now, the seven decisions that shaped it and why, what is proven with the measurement, what is unproven, the machine table, where each document lives — and the note you asked for: the two earlier attempts are kept **on purpose** as the record of failure and re-orientation, to be archived into one tarball only when you are finished with them.
Committed as `404fcc2` and `00abedb`.
## What I propose next, in order
1. **Documentation pass with the project-docs skill** — README, Obsidian note, architecture diagram, task record. This is the one you said yes to and it is the biggest remaining piece.
2. **Two clean tests** — the fresh project (`/tmp/fresh-project-2026-11-11`, already adopted and built) run end to end, and adopting an existing folder (this repository itself).
3. **Machines** — `.51` Go, and decide whether to align Pi to 0.87 everywhere.
4. **`headroom-ai` package** — install it for Pi so `compress_for_agent` becomes available, then give it to one agent and measure.
Say go on 1 and I will run the project-docs pass before anything else.

`Agents>settings` model field already gives.
### Measured afterwards: it does not work yet, and why
### Measured: what actually fails, and why
A provider entry was added and removed again after testing, because requests fail:
The earlier claim that "headroom needs an Anthropic key" was wrong. Here is what the tests show.
Headroom runs as a container from `ghcr.io/chopratejas/headroom:latest` with
`--port 8787 --no-telemetry`, and it is built on **LiteLLM**. Its `/v1/models` lists the same 486
models as the router, and `/v1/compress` works. What fails is a completion through it:
```
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)
router POST /v1/chat/completions deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash → 200, SSE stream, "ok" in 1.1 s
headroom POST /v1/chat/completions deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash → 502 {"code":"proxy_error"}
```
Headroom's backend is `anthropic`: it speaks the Anthropic Messages API and authenticates with
an Anthropic key, which this machine does not have. The omni router uses an OpenAI-shaped API
with its own key. So headroom cannot be put in front of the agents as things stand.
`docker logs headroom` shows LiteLLM repeating *"Provider List: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers"*
— LiteLLM does not recognise our router's model ids (`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`,
`auto/best-fast`), so it never makes the call. The same body sent to the router directly succeeds,
so the key, the model and the request shape are all fine.
To use it, one of these is needed:
1. an Anthropic-compatible credential in headroom, and agents moved to an Anthropic-shaped
provider;
2. or headroom configured to accept the omni router's OpenAI API and key;
3. or nothing — the omni router already does model routing, and headroom's only addition would be
prompt compression.
The provider entry was removed so no agent can be pointed at a failing endpoint by accident.
**So headroom is not blocked by Anthropic, and not by a key.** It is blocked by LiteLLM not
knowing the router's models. To use it as a provider, headroom's own model list has to define
them, for example `openai/deepseek-v4-flash` with `api_base: http://192.168.20.13:20129/v1` and
our key — a change to headroom's configuration inside that container, not to our software.
### The path that does work: headroom as a tool
