Final answer snapshot
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
- 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.
- 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). - Machines —
.51Go, and decide whether to align Pi to 0.87 everywhere. headroom-aipackage — install it for Pi socompress_for_agentbecomes available, then give it to one agent and measure.
Say go on 1 and I will run the project-docs pass before anything else.
Evidence
- Confidence: 86%
- Reason: Preserve full sanitized discovery detail from a rich investigation turn
