+
+- core/: Platform Owner dashboard, shared API/services, host isolation, updater

+- dsp/: DSP runtime and DSP-owned dashboard entry point/pages.
+- plugins/: optional plugin source, including Paycom; released with DSP updates.

+- tooling/: monorepo assembly, checks, publication and migration helpers.
+
+Read DEVELOPMENT.md and RELEASES.md. Build/test in an external synthetic workspace.
+SDK/support packages are real versioned copies. Dashboard assets are central per
+release; each DSP selects its approved version and owns its installed plugins and
+private state. Core builds must not contain DSP-owned dashboard pages.
+
+One user-requested vX.Y.Z release contains Core/DSP packages and three changelog
+sections. Ask for a version unless supplied. Publishing never installs. Update Core
+and Update Dev → Rollout Update are independent owner-controlled installation paths.

+# Development
+
+Use Node 22/24, npm, Python 3 and Linux. Build in a new directory outside source:
+
+```sh
+npm run bootstrap -- /absolute/build/workspace
+npm run check -- /absolute/build/workspace
+npm run build -- /absolute/build/workspace
+npm test -- /absolute/build/workspace
+npm run test:integration -- /absolute/build/workspace
+```
+
+Bootstrap assembles portable Core and DSP source trees, copies top-level plugins
+into the DSP build workspace, merges shared UI source with each product's owned
+entry points, and installs locked compiler dependencies plus versioned SDK copies.
+These assembled trees are disposable, not additional source repositories. After
+editing source, bootstrap a fresh workspace before final verification.
+
+DSP browser collector tests need trusted Chrome, Xvfb, setpriv and X11 libraries;
+the hosted checks prepare these on an isolated runner. Tests use synthetic data.
+
+Use feature branches and PRs. The owner authorizes autonomous PR creation and
+merging after review and successful checks. Publication and installation remain
+separate. See RELEASES.md. Never develop in live/ or installed DSP directories.
+
+After building both dashboards, run plugin previews from the assembled Core tree:
+
+```sh
+/absolute/build/workspace/core/bin/dispatch create plugin sample-notes
+/absolute/build/workspace/core/bin/dispatch plugin dev /absolute/plugin/source
+```
+
+The preview serves each synthetic DSP's DSP dashboard and uses independent test
+accounts/state. An external DSP dashboard can be supplied through the explicit
+DISPATCH_DSP_DASHBOARD development setting. Production always uses release receipts.

+# Platform releases
+
+One public repository and one platform version: vX.Y.Z. Prepare only on request.
+Report the last published release, installed versions and changes under Core,
+DSP and Plugins, then ask for a clickable patch/minor/major version unless supplied.
+
+The manual release.yml workflow accepts version, expected_main and changes (a JSON
+object with core/dsp/plugins strings). It requires successful main checks, builds
+immutable artifacts, verifies provenance and uploaded bytes, and publishes one
+release. No deployment credentials are used by GitHub. Existing tags are immutable.
+
+platform-release.json binds the Core and DSP component digests. Unchanged components
+reference the last release containing those exact packages, so plugin-only changes
+never create a Core update. Shared source changes rebuild affected products. Core
+and DSP manifests/archives have distinct asset names. SDK and plugin package
+versions must change when their installed bytes change.
+
+The single owner Updates page has Core, DSP and Plugins sections. Update Core
+installs only the selected release's Core package. Update Dev installs the DSP
+package only on permanent Dev: dashboard, runtime, installed plugins and catalog.
+Plugin-only changes are DSP updates. Other DSPs keep their current dashboard and
+catalog. The owner tests Dev and clicks Rollout Update for sequential activation.
+New candidates require another Dev test; active rollouts keep their pinned digest.
+Failures pause rollout. Credentials/settings/databases remain independent.
+
+Core APIs must support installed DSP protocol versions; incompatible activation
+is rejected. A Core update never rewrites DSP dependency copies. DSP dashboards
+are cached centrally once per release and selected through authenticated sessions.
+New DSPs use the completed production rollout and only builtin Cortex by default.
+
+Migration retains legacy manifests and freezes the currently deployed dashboard
+for DSP releases that predate dashboard packaging. Do not remove old repositories
+or release assets while installed/rollback references still use them. The initial
+bootstrap requires verified release assets, an idle updater, dashboard snapshots,
+and a reversible Core activation. Publishing alone does not perform this cutover.

+coordination, host management and update coordination.

+DSP runtime and plugin source belong to the separate `dispatch-dsp` project.
+Each product builds independently, with explicit versioned dependency packages.
+Every DSP retains its own installed code and private state.

+# Security policy
+
+## Sensitive data boundary
+
+This repository must never contain:
+
+- passwords, PINs, recovery answers, API tokens, cookies, or authorization headers;
+- Auth Broker master keys or credential databases;
+- browser profiles, login databases, session storage, or authenticated caches;
+- Paycom, CDF, Collection Manager, Access Control, Provisioner, or other operational databases and backups;
+- employee, customer, provider, or account data copied from a live system;
+- sockets, service records, logs, staging candidates, or runtime state.
+
+Use synthetic fixtures for tests and documentation. Local operational state belongs in an external owner-private directory configured through `DISPATCH_LOCAL_ROOT` or explicit absolute runtime roots.
+
+Managed installation tests must use temporary synthetic organization/runtime identities and credential-free provider/publication evidence. Do not copy a live installation manifest, outbox/job record, Auth Broker profile, collection batch, publication target, or readiness snapshot into Git. Installation lifecycle repair uses the durable reconciler or closed activation retry—never direct SQL or filesystem edits.
+
+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+Do not include secret values, personal data, browser artifacts, or live provider responses in a public issue. Contact the repository owner privately or use GitHub private vulnerability reporting when it is enabled.
+
+Include only the minimum sanitized reproduction details needed to understand the problem.
+
+## Accidental exposure
+
+If a credential, key, cookie, browser profile, or private database is pushed, treat it as compromised even if the commit is later deleted:
+
+1. Revoke or rotate the affected credential or key.
+2. Invalidate related browser sessions.
+3. Preserve a private incident record without copying secret values into Git.
+4. Remove the data from Git history and verify the rewritten remote.
+5. Review forks, clones, pull-request diffs, workflow artifacts, and caches for continued exposure.
+
+See [runtime/auth-broker/SECURITY.md](runtime/auth-broker/SECURITY.md) for the component trust model and storage requirements.

+# Dispatch Core
+
+Core owns platform administration, shared login, DSP membership, provisioning,
+removal, and Core-first release rollouts. The shared dashboard lives in
+`dashboard/`.
+
+DSP services and provider implementations live in `runtime/`. Core sends
+validated messages over the authenticated runtime-agent connection instead of
+loading those implementations. The `shared/` package owns the messages,
+transport helpers and runtime layout agreement. Both release artifacts carry
+their own copy; neither application reads the other application's source tree.
+
+`compatibility/` contains opt-in tools for the older same-user runtime setup.
+Those tools are excluded from the Core and DSP release artifacts.
+
+Run `./tooling/verify` from the repository root for source, behavior and package
+boundary checks. Run `./runtime/tooling/verify` for the native package and live
+two-account fixture. See [native DSPs](installations/NATIVE-DSPS.md) and
+[backup and recovery](installations/RECOVERY.md).

+# Access Control
+
+This component is the human identity and DSP authorization control plane for Dispatch.
+
+## Owns
+
+- website user identities, password hashes, and authenticated password rotation;
+- opaque server-side sessions and CSRF tokens;
+- DSP organizations and station metadata;
+- explicit user-to-DSP memberships;
+- protected system roles and constrained custom roles;
+- platform and DSP invitation lifecycles;
+- authoritative organization-to-runtime installation lifecycle, revision, and current-job binding;
+- durable provisioning outbox requests, activation fencing, lifecycle jobs, release authority, and backup inventory;
+- bounded access audit events.
+
+## Does not own
+
+- Paycom or Amazon provider credentials;
+- provider browser sessions or cookies;
+- provider login automation;
+- workforce, timecard, or CDF data;
+- collection execution or scheduling;
+- arbitrary runtime endpoints or commands.
+
+Those boundaries remain with the Auth Broker, plugins, Collection Manager, and SDK respectively.
+
+## Source
+
+- `src/store.js` — private SQLite schema and persistence
+- `src/service.js` — identity, invitation, membership, role, permission, and session policy
+- `src/installation-authority.js` — server-owned managed manifest projection
+- `src/installation-provisioning.js` — Access Control outbox, Provisioner acknowledgement, and terminal reconciliation
+- `src/installation-activation.js` — provider-activation lease/fence and atomic `ready` commit
+- `src/installation-lifecycle.js` — durable backup/restore, upgrade, suspension, decommission, and destruction authority
+- `src/passwords.js` — versioned scrypt hashing and constant-work fallback
+- `src/validation.js` — closed bounded inputs
+- `src/permissions.js` — platform and tenant permission catalogs
+- `tests/access-control.test.js` — focused security and isolation acceptance
+
+## Runtime
+
+Version `0.4.0` owns schema version `6`. The database is `<data-root>/access-control/access-control.sqlite3`, with an owner-only directory and file. Schema `2 -> 6` preserves the conservative lifecycle adoption, browser controls, and exact `local-dsp -> local` compatibility state while adding durable release/lifecycle state and per-installation Runtime Agent authority digests, generations, and revocation. Raw Agent tokens remain only in private per-runtime files. New DSPs receive pending installation records; no browser-provided address is accepted.
+
+Only `platform.installations.manage` may create a target-free provision/retry outbox request. The Provisioner job remains unclaimable until Access Control records its exact server-generated job ID and the Provisioner durably acknowledges that record. Owner acceptance advances `waiting_for_owner -> waiting_for_provider_auth` in the same transaction as membership creation. Protected setup acquires a durable worker/fence/expiry lease on the installation; concurrent setup and activation are denied while it is current, every credential or service mutation renews it, and stale workers cannot mutate after reclaim. Managed activation stores profile/provider metadata, a positive-test timestamp, job/manifest revisions, leases/fences, and a closed first-publication evidence bundle—never a provider secret or session. Only the current unexpired worker/fence may heartbeat, fail, or commit. The sole `ready` write validates the current activation job, all nine server-built gates, and the fresh evidence digest, then persists job success/evidence, installation readiness, and organization activation in one Access Control transaction with exact read-back. Public projections omit setup leases, evidence, and publication identities.
+
+The private Dashboard now exposes only fixed Access Control console capabilities. Its platform list returns an expiring opaque control reference and sanitized organization/installation state, not organization/runtime/job identity. CSRF-protected idempotent create, invitation, status, provision, and infrastructure-retry requests resolve that reference server-side. The setup status is target-free. For OCI installations, owners submit a fixed Paycom credential form into their runtime's vault through the private Agent, then the reconciler verifies and activates the DSP. Access Control schema 9 persists a credential-free onboarding ledger with expiring leases and fences. Platform removal and separate permanent deletion queue lifecycle jobs after exact-name confirmation. Runtime roots, keys, units, commands, endpoints and provider profile selectors remain unavailable to HTTP callers; credentials are accepted only by the owner setup input and never returned.
+
+The separate server-only lifecycle controller uses Access Control's current lease/fence around each fixed host mutation. Backup/restore, upgrade rollback, runtime suspension/resumption, retained removal and restoration, and permanent destruction use fixed lifecycle jobs. Private Dashboard routes can request removal/restoration and password-confirmed deletion; host mutations remain absent from the HTTP process, public SDK, and Runtime Gateway.
+
+See [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md) for the authorization and storage boundary.
+
+Email-first creation atomically adds a pending business profile and provisioning request with the owner invitation. Submitted profiles are applied once infrastructure is prepared. Durable platform rollout records coordinate sequential lifecycle upgrades, block on unready DSPs or failures, and retain restart and retry state. See platform administration.

+title: Access Control security contract
+status: current
+last_verified: 2026-09-03
+---
+
+# Security contract
+
+## Trust boundary
+
+Human authentication and tenant authorization are separate from provider authentication. This component must never receive Paycom/Amazon credentials, browser cookies, CDP endpoints, vault records, or collector leases. The Auth Broker must never become the human account database.
+
+## Identity and secret storage
+
+- Email addresses are normalized for identity matching.
+- Passwords are never normalized or trimmed and must contain 12–128 characters.
+- Passwords use scrypt-v1 with `N=32768`, `r=8`, `p=1`, a random 24-byte salt, and a 64-byte output.
+- Unknown-account authentication performs equivalent scrypt work.
+- Session, invitation, and browser platform-control values contain 256 random bits and are stored only as SHA-256 hashes.
+- The access database and directory must be owner-only regular paths outside the source tree.
+- Browser storage never receives session or invitation tokens; the session token remains in an `HttpOnly` cookie.
+
+## Tenant invariants
+
+1. Account creation alone grants no organization access.
+2. DSP-owner and member API paths contain no organization identifier; every organization operation derives the DSP from the session's active membership.
+3. Platform ownership does not imply DSP workforce access.
+4. Organization switching sends a membership ID, and the server derives the organization from that existing active membership.
+5. Runtime selection comes from the server-owned installation registry.
+6. Pending installations cannot call operational SDK endpoints.
+7. A DSP abbreviation, station code, URL slug, request body, or opaque record ID is never authorization.
+8. Authorization errors do not return workforce identities or runtime routing metadata.
+
+## Installation authority invariants
+
+1. Access Control schema `6` is authoritative for installation lifecycle, release and manifest revisions, current job, organization/runtime binding, fixed-stage lifecycle jobs, backup inventory, hash-only Runtime Agent authorities, hash-only browser platform-control references, and platform-mutation idempotency; the Provisioner database is an executor journal.
+2. Only `platform.installations.manage` plus the separately enabled installation-operator composition may create a closed provision/retry request, and tenant roles cannot receive that permission.
+3. One transaction checks lifecycle/revision/idempotency and writes the outbox request plus `provisioning`; browser organization/status/invitation commands use a separate actor/action/key ledger. Direct database edits are not an operational interface.
+4. A Provisioner live job is unclaimable until Access Control records its exact server-generated ID and the Provisioner acknowledges that binding.
+5. Every live host mutation revalidates the same Access Control organization/manifest/runtime/current-job authority while holding the authority transaction.
+6. Owner acceptance moves `waiting_for_owner -> waiting_for_provider_auth` in the membership transaction. Provider credentials and sessions never enter Access Control. Protected credential setup owns a durable installation-local worker/fence/expiry lease; a current setup lease blocks both activation and another setup worker, and every service/vault/ingress mutation revalidates and renews it before execution.
+7. Activation jobs are leased and fenced. Only the current unexpired worker/fence may heartbeat, fail, commit, or initiate a deadline cancellation; process loss reclaims with a larger fence. Long manager polling renews the lease. A stale worker exits without cancelling the shared idempotent run or batch, allowing its replacement to resume.
+8. `ready` requires all nine gates for the current manifest/runtime/job plus a closed, digest-verified, fresh evidence bundle that independently binds the exact manager batch to active Paycom publications. Job success, private evidence, installation ready, and organization active commit and read back in one transaction.
+9. Failed/partial publication, stale authority, unverified legacy managed ready, and unknown errors remain non-ready. Only exact `local-dsp -> local` may preserve legacy ready during schema migration.
+10. Browser-safe platform/setup projections exclude organization/runtime/job/invitation identities, infrastructure details, provider responses, credentials, sessions, publication identifiers, evidence bundles, and workforce data. Platform mutations resolve only an expiring session/user/organization/purpose-bound random control reference in a JSON body. The private activation row may retain only the closed evidence contract needed to prove readiness; it is never a dashboard or public SDK DTO.
+11. Lifecycle jobs are authority-scope/idempotency-key bound, one-active-job constrained, leased, and fenced. Their fixed stages and bounded aggregate receipts never contain a path, command, credential, provider response, or business record.
+12. Restore accepts only an available backup already bound to the same organization/runtime and only while suspended. Upgrade accepts only a different release from the server-owned catalog and advances release/manifest authority only after backup, target health, publication continuity, and journal commit.
+13. Resume rechecks infrastructure and exact publication continuity without provider authentication, collection, or publication. Decommission retains data and a final backup; permanent deletion is a separate decommissioned-only server-local operation with literal approval.
+
+## Invitation invariants
+
+- The organization, email, and role are fixed before token generation.
+- Tokens are one-time, revocable, hashed at rest, and expire.
+- Initial platform-owner invitations can be revoked idempotently from the owner-private bootstrap command before acceptance.
+- Pending-owner and per-DSP/per-email uniqueness is checked inside the write transaction and enforced by partial unique indexes.
+- Local invitation links keep the token in the URL fragment, inspect it through a JSON body, and clear the fragment after acceptance so reverse-proxy request logs and referrers do not receive it.
+- Existing accounts must sign in with the exact invited email.
+- Initial ownership uses a platform-issued invitation; additional Owners can be invited or assigned through team management.
+- Only an authenticated platform owner may create a DSP shell or replacement initial-owner invitation.
+- Without outbound email, invitation paths are returned only once to the authorized creator or written by the bootstrap command to an owner-only secret file.
+
+## Role invariants
+
+- Every DSP has exactly four fixed system roles: Owner, Manager, Dispatcher, and Driver.
+- All four currently share the complete DSP permission catalog, including `organization.owner`, but never platform authority.
+- Custom role creation and all role edits/deletions are rejected by the service; `roles.manage` is not granted.
+- An actor cannot grant permissions they do not possess.
+- System roles cannot be edited or deleted.
+- All four roles can be invited and assigned. The last active Owner cannot be demoted or removed.
+- Schema 13 migrates Administrator to Manager, Viewer to Driver, and custom roles to a matching standard name or Dispatcher. Existing canonical IDs, memberships, and invitation tokens/statuses are preserved; retired role references are repointed transactionally.
+- Self-role change and self-removal are rejected.
+- Role and membership changes are checked on every request rather than trusted from stale browser state.
+
+## HTTP invariants
+
+- Platform target references are random, hashed at rest, bound to the issuing session/user/organization/purpose, expire after 15 minutes, never enter a URL, and are not authorization without a fresh permission check.
+- Platform mutations use fixed routes and exact bodies. Organization/status/invitation commands use durable actor/action/idempotency-key request matching; provision/retry uses the installation/authority-scope/key/canonical-operation outbox record. Replay never reissues a one-time invitation value.
+- Protected routes require an opaque session cookie.
+- Mutations require JSON, same-site browser context, and the session's CSRF token.
+- Login attempts are bounded in memory by address/account and across accounts per address; invitation inspection/redemption is also address-bounded. Failures remain generic.
+- Public cookies use `__Host-dispatch_session` with `Secure`, `HttpOnly`, `SameSite=Strict`, `Path=/`, and no `Domain` attribute.
+- Responses containing identity, invitation, membership, or workforce information are `no-store`.
+- Static content keeps the restrictive dashboard CSP, frame denial, referrer denial, and permissions policy.
+
+## Public deployment boundary
+
+The invitation-only Dashboard is public only through the exact `https://dispatch.example.test` Cloudflare Tunnel route to its loopback listener. Public mode requires exact Host, Cloudflare HTTPS proof, exact mutation Origin, secure host-only cookies, managed WAF/DDoS protection, and no-store application responses. Bot Fight Mode is disabled during testing because its zone-wide policy challenged scripted/headless acceptance; review sibling subdomains and automated clients before production enablement. Do not expose an origin port, ordinary reverse proxy, Funnel, wildcard/per-DSP route, Runtime Gateway, Provisioner, or lifecycle executor. Verified outbound email/recovery, administrator MFA/passkeys, stronger distributed rate limiting/alerting, backup/incident review, and final independent review remain hardening responsibilities.

+
+# Runtime Agent bridge
+
+`core/runtime-agent-bridge` is the narrow same-host cross-account transport for the rootless DSP model. One root-owned bridge process serves one server-derived runtime identity.
+
+The downstream Unix socket is owner `0600` for the DSP account inside a root-owned non-writable directory. The bridge validates strict bounded Runtime Agent frames, rejects a registration for any other runtime, and forwards only to the configured central owner-private Hub socket. It persists and logs no registration token and exposes no TCP listener, path selector, command, shell, URL, generic proxy, or engine operation.
+
+The central Hub remains the authentication and current-authority boundary. The bridge is transport containment, not an alternate authorization database.
+
+The executable requires root and receives only systemd/server-owned environment. The current two-account fixture proves the socket boundary; durable production bridge lifecycle belongs to the future privileged host helper.
+
+See Rootless DSP runtime containers.

+title: Runtime Agent source
+status: current
+last_verified: 2026-09-03
+---
+
+# Dispatch Runtime Agent
+
+`core/agents/` contains the central hub and clients used to contact isolated DSP runtimes. The outbound DSP agent lives in `runtime/agent/`; shared wire definitions live in `shared/agent/`.
+
+## Source map
+
+- `src/hub.js` — central registration, runtime registry, heartbeat/liveness, request correlation, and failure cleanup.
+- `src/client.js` — narrow `DispatchClient` adapter for a server-owned runtime identity.
+- `src/control.js` — central private control socket.
+- `../../runtime/agent/src/` — outbound agent, health socket, and supervised CLI composition.
+- `../../shared/agent/` — registration frames, bounded JSON framing, and private credential loading.
+- `examples/` and `tests/` — routing, reconnection, identity, and failure-isolation verification.
+
+## Boundary
+
+Core owns human authorization and runtime selection. Access Control stores only runtime registration digests and generations. Provisioner stores each raw token only in that runtime's private `secrets/runtime-agent/registration-token` file. The Agent owns one runtime's private operational connection and proxies only the closed Runtime Gateway action catalog.
+
+Each production DSP runs in an isolated OCI container. Its outbound connection reaches the Core hub through the host bridge. The opt-in same-user runtime tools remain under `compatibility/`.
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+./core/agents/scripts/verify
+```

+# Dispatch API
+
+`dispatch-api` is the authenticated HTTP service. It owns backend composition,
+account/session authorization and DSP coordination. It does not serve dashboard
+HTML, and plugin code still executes in DSP workers. The browser manager and auth
+broker remain separately supervised Core services; credentials, settings and
+business databases remain in their DSP directories.
+
+From the editable source, the split directory deployment runs:
+
+```sh
+bin/dispatch-api --installation-backend directory_service_v1 --installation-operator --operator --port 4311
+bin/dispatch-dashboard --api-origin http://127.0.0.1:4311 --port 4310
+```
+
+Only the API receives `DISPATCH_PLATFORM_CONFIG`. Configure the same canonical
+public origin on both services behind the existing reviewed HTTPS proxy. The API
+loads its origin from private dashboard settings in directory mode; give the UI
+`--public-origin https://dispatch.example.test`. Cookies and browser requests keep
+the existing origin and `/api/` paths. The UI forwards cookies, CSRF, signed DSP
+views and the original Host without constructing a new identity. It streams a
+request once and never automatically retries a mutation. Worker SDK sockets and
+local database access remain private and do not make HTTP round trips.
+
+`host/services/api-units.js` renders `dispatch-api.service` and the existing
+`dispatch-platform-local.service` (now the UI). `prepare-startup` prepares both
+units for a reviewed migration. It does not activate them. Do not run the legacy
+combined controller and the new API against the same platform simultaneously.
+
+## Source ownership
+
+- `server.js`: API routing and request policy, with no static-asset dependency.
+- `access-http.js`: account, connection, installation and settings endpoints.
+- `plugin-operations.js`: automatic manifest-based operation routing, validation,
+  audit attribution and authorization checks before and after asynchronous work.
+- `http.js`: existing request parsing, safe response helpers and protocol policy.
+- `directory-platform.js`: directory backend startup and orderly shutdown.
+- `main.js`: standalone API command and retained native/OCI startup support.
+- `dashboard/server/shell.js`: static UI and bounded-loopback API forwarding.
+
+The old dashboard module paths are compatibility imports. Starting
+`dispatch-dashboard` without `--api-origin` deliberately retains the combined
+launcher for existing installations and legacy artifact/recovery consumers.
+The new split unit uses `--api-origin` explicitly; the dashboard does not open a
+store, start a controller or inherit backend configuration in that mode.
+`GET /api/health` checks API database access and returns a minimal service-ready
+response. It does not claim that every provider connection or DSP job is healthy.
+
+## Adding an operation
+
+Declare an action in a plugin's `dispatch-plugin.json`, including its permission
+and input/output schemas. It is available at
+`POST /api/plugins/<plugin>/<action>`. DSP identity comes from the authenticated
+session or signed owner support view, never a body field. A declaration requests
+a permission; it does not create a grant. Existing platform roles continue to
+control access.
+
+An optional `errors` list declares public business error codes. A handler can
+throw a matching SDK `DispatchError`; `definePlugin` converts it into the standard
+failure result. Undeclared implementation failures remain inside the worker's
+normal error boundary. The same error declarations appear in generated docs.
+
+`dispatch-sdk/operations` validates the definitions and builds convenient clients.
+`dispatch-sdk/plugin` wraps worker handlers with the same input/output validation.
+The worker host also validates declared contracts independently. Generated
+OpenAPI descriptions and TypeScript clients come from those declarations; run
+`bin/dispatch plugin generate <plugin>` after editing one. Packaging checks for
+stale generated contracts.
+
+This first contract pass covers plugin actions. Existing accounts/settings API
+contracts retain their current validators. Paycom action inputs are declared;
+its complex result models continue using the workforce contracts. New generated
+plugins include explicit input and output schemas. Existing plugin HTTP routes
+remain compatible while consumers can adopt the generated action clients.
+
+The supported schema subset is deliberately closed: objects with explicit
+properties/required fields, arrays, strings, numbers, integers, booleans, null,
+primitive enums, and bounds. It uses standard JSON Schema keywords and rejects
+unsupported keywords rather than silently ignoring validation requirements.

+# Core auth broker
+
+`server.js` runs the supervised Core plugin backend. `coordinator.js` owns DSP
+worker admission, connection authorization, package generations and temporary
+browser sessions. `service.js` remains the small injectable SDK facade.
+
+Credentials retain the existing encrypted DSP vault and key format. The vault,
+key, profiles and attempt guards remain below `dsps/<id>/`; no credential database
+is created in Core. `runtime/workers/authentication-server.js` mounts only the
+selected DSP's auth storage and approved installed login adapters. Ordinary
+plugin workers receive authenticated browser access without vault access. Auth
+workers cannot read the DSP's business databases or agent registration token.
+The privileged host controller remains a trusted platform authority.
+
+Owner Settings, connection tests and signed platform-owner DSP views use the
+same connection administration protocol through the SDK framework transport.
+Each request revalidates Core DSP authority. Plugin connection grants additionally
+pin the DSP's acknowledged package digest and revision; declaring a service in a
+manifest does not grant it automatically. Core may relay owner credentials in
+memory to that DSP's worker, but does not persist them or log them.
+
+When another DSP is queued, idle authentication workers yield their slots even
+if status polling keeps them warm. Active requests, provider verification and
+plugin browser leases retain their workers. Directory DSPs enroll Paycom through
+the vault worker without waking the full collection runtime; subsequent setup
+waits in its existing onboarding queue when runtime capacity is occupied.
+
+The existing provider session, attempt-guard, native Chrome and assistance code
+is reused. Paycom's adapter comes from the DSP's installed package. Cortex stays
+a built-in automatic sign-in and owner-entered email-code connection. A plugin
+update does not interrupt an in-progress Cortex verification: metadata and its
+verification code retain the existing worker, and new logins wait for an idle
+worker before switching package generations. There are no Cortex collectors.
+
+Disabling a plugin revokes its jobs and sessions; DSP suspension revokes all of
+that DSP's workers. Credentials, guards and saved profiles survive installs,
+upgrades and uninstall. Credential removal remains a separate owner operation.
+See [runtime and migration](../../docs/plugin-runtime.md).

+# Core browser manager
+
+The independently supervised Core plugin backend owns browser admission through
+`manager.js` and `store.js`. It starts DSP-scoped authentication workers through
+`host/services/authentication-worker.js`; plugins use `dispatch-sdk` connection
+sessions. Browser creation, owner login checks and collection share this budget.
+
+The default single-host budget is two authentication workers, one per DSP, with
+six page tabs per worker and twelve tabs overall. Admission is queued and bounded.
+A lease occupies capacity until its worker cgroup is confirmed stopped. The
+private SQLite ledger and exclusive kernel lock permit restart recovery before
+new work is admitted. Idle workers exit; browser profiles remain in DSP storage.
+The private CDP bridge enforces the page limit, including observed popup targets.
+
+Normal plugins cannot launch Chrome, select host paths, access provider passwords,
+or reach another DSP. A plugin receives a temporary job-scoped Unix browser
+endpoint, renewed and released by the SDK. Plugins still own navigation and
+collection code. Each process has separate filesystem, PID and network namespaces
+and explicit CPU, memory and task limits. No per-DSP Linux accounts are created.
+
+The daemon is launched by `host/services/plugin-backend.js`, independently of the
+dashboard/controller. Stopping the dashboard does not stop the daemon. Core holds
+references and policy; browser processes run in separate limited service cgroups.
+These defaults bound resource consumption; they are not a fleet-capacity estimate
+or a multi-host scheduler. See [runtime and migration](../../docs/plugin-runtime.md).

+# Collection capacity and staged verification
+
+Every native DSP retains its own account, credentials, browser profile, database,
+collection locks and runtime. Core coordinates scheduling metadata only: an opaque
+job ID and a requested worker count. No Paycom credentials or collected records
+enter the capacity queue.
+
+## Capacity control
+
+Native Paycom jobs acquire a grant through their local Runtime Agent status socket
+and existing authenticated agent bridge before launching a collector. Core allows
+one active grant and one queue position per DSP. FIFO ordering prevents a DSP
+from repeatedly jumping ahead of waiting DSPs. A grant can reduce the requested
+Paycom timecard concurrency (1–6) to the available worker budget. It never increases
+it. Each DSP can use at most half the total budget (rounded up), leaving room
+for another DSP when the budget is greater than one. Authentication/setup outside collection jobs is not governed by this budget.
+
+The automatic initial worker ceiling is the minimum of four, half the available
+CPUs (rounded down), and one worker per GiB after reserving 2 GiB for Core and the
+OS, with a minimum of one. This is a conservative starting configuration, not a
+measured throughput guarantee. Set `DISPATCH_COLLECTION_WORKER_LIMIT` (integer
+1–64) in the Core service environment after measuring the host. Invalid overrides
+prevent Core from starting. Per-DSP systemd CPU/memory limits remain in effect.
+
+Clients poll while waiting and renew active grants every ten seconds. Grants and
+abandoned queue entries expire after two minutes. A failed renewal cancels the
+collector; ordinary release waits for child termination. Disconnects retain active
+grants until expiry. After Core restarts, a two-minute recovery interval allows
+surviving clients to stop before any new grants are issued. Capacity errors never
+fall back to uncoordinated collection. During a mixed-version rollout only upgraded
+DSPs participate in this budget.
+
+The existing 15-minute Paycom interval and up-to-60-second variation remain. The
+variation now includes the DSP runtime identity, spreading otherwise identical
+schedules. Explicit manual sync requests remain immediate requests to the queue.
+The Paycom page displays waiting, collecting, retry, paused and authentication
+states plus the last successful sync time. Waiting for capacity is not a collector
+execution timeout and does not produce a false overdue-run alert.
+
+## Measure before tuning
+
+Run the bounded local browser probe from a trusted checkout on the host to size:
+
+```sh
+./runtime/supervisor/scripts/measure-collection-capacity --dsps 1,2 --workers 2 --seconds 5
+```
+
+It launches separate temporary browser profiles and private pipes, generates and
+reads synthetic tables, and removes its processes and files afterward. It does
+not use Paycom credentials, contact Paycom, or touch DSP data. JSON reports startup
+latency, operation P50/P95, failures, aggregate browser RSS, minimum host free memory
+and host CPU utilization. RSS sums include shared pages; host measurements can
+include unrelated load. These results measure local browser capacity only. Measure
+representative live collection duration/failures on designated test DSPs before
+raising the production limit. Repeat with increasing DSP counts while retaining
+headroom for Core, backups and authentication.
+
+## Verify a test DSP before the fleet
+
+For a user-requested release, add `--canary-organization ORGANIZATION_ID` to the
+existing `dispatch-access-admin rollout-start` command. Choose an explicitly
+identified disposable test DSP that is active, native, ready, connected to Paycom,
+and has its workforce sync running. This option does not create a DSP or enable
+its sync. The selected DSP is persisted at the front of the rollout; the existing
+Core backup/update/verification stages still run first.
+
+After that DSP's normal lifecycle upgrade verifies its runtime and publication,
+Core requests a fresh, idempotent workforce sync and requires a successful
+collection after the verification start plus healthy collection storage. Other
+DSPs remain queued until this check passes. Success is recorded durably in the
+existing audit store and survives Core restarts. Failure, unavailable verification,
+or a 30-minute timeout pauses the rollout; resolve the test DSP and use the existing
+resume command to retry. Removing the selected test DSP blocks the gate. Rollouts
+without a selected test DSP retain the existing sequential verification behavior.
+
+Adding this capability does not authorize a production rollout. Release version,
+publication and rollout remain user initiated.

+# Native DSP services
+
+Dispatch uses one shared release of built-in DSP code. Each DSP has a separate Linux account, private data and secrets, and a systemd service. No container image, container engine, per-DSP application checkout or per-DSP dependency install is created. DSPs cannot install plugins or run custom code.
+
+## Creating and operating a DSP
+
+The dashboard invitation flow creates the DSP and owner invitation, provisions infrastructure, accepts the invitation, and collects DSP details. Those steps complete DSP onboarding. The owner can optionally connect Paycom later from the Paycom page; authentication or import failures do not disable the workspace. Core owns shared login, users, memberships, invitations, administration and the dashboard.
+
+Creating infrastructure allocates a `dsp-<opaque suffix>` account, private directories under `/var/lib/dispatch/tenants/<suffix>`, a registration credential, one DSP service and its authenticated Runtime Agent relay. The service mounts the shared immutable package at `/opt/dispatch` and only that DSP's private files at `/var/lib/dispatch/<runtime key>`. CPU, memory, tasks and temporary storage are bounded. Browsers use private Unix sockets and Chrome's debugging pipe, with no tenant debugging TCP port.
+
+The shared Core/dashboard package lives at `/opt/dispatch-platform/releases/<release>/core-artifact/code`. DSP code, Node and Chrome live at `/opt/dispatch-runtime/releases/<release>/runtime-artifact`. The separately supervised updater continues working when Core restarts. The existing `runtime/` source directory name remains for compatibility; it does not select the deployment backend.
+
+Remove DSP revokes tenant sessions and access immediately, pauses queued work and backup scheduling, and stops and disables its services. The retained DSP stays in Removed with its data, completed backups, registration credentials, service definitions, and required release artifacts preserved. Backups are protected from expiration while removed. Restore DSP verifies the runtime and publication before reopening access and restoring its previous collection schedule; ordinary backup scheduling and retention resume afterward. Missed scheduled runs are not replayed. Users belong to one DSP, and platform support uses the separate viewing context.
+
+Permanently delete DSP is available only after removal and requires the acting Platform Owner's password. It erases local files and remote backups, removes the account and services, revokes registration credentials, and erases DSP metadata and user accounts. Platform owner accounts are preserved. Final root coordination metadata is swept only after account, files and Core identity are gone. Failures remain retryable and visible.
+
+Historical full-platform backups contain shared identity records and can contain the deleted DSP's data. Explicit DSP deletion erases Core/full-platform backups containing that DSP as well as its individual backups. Complete root-verified organization inventories preserve Core backups that do not contain it; older incomplete inventories remain conservative. Other DSPs' individual archives remain. See [recovery](RECOVERY.md).
+
+See [collection capacity and staged verification](COLLECTION-CAPACITY.md) for shared collection limits, the browser sizing probe, and optional test-DSP rollout verification.
+
+## One platform version
+
+A rollout backs up and verifies Core first, updates Core, then updates every DSP sequentially. Native DSPs still waiting for their owner or DSP details retain their setup state. DSPs without Paycom can be ready and receive updates without publication checks; connected DSPs continue to verify publication continuity. Suspended DSPs receive new code and remain stopped. A pending DSP without infrastructure receives the target release assignment. Newly created DSPs join the rollout; active provisioning/onboarding is allowed to settle before its update.
+
+A failed update pauses progress and uses the in-flight safety snapshot and old code for compensation. These temporary copies exist only while needed to complete or recover the rollout. The rollout is not marked complete until the root cleanup worker attests current service definitions, confirms recovery proofs, checks that no process still uses old releases, and removes obsolete Core/runtime/helper/updater/watcher releases and local recovery copies. Current code and a newer already-prepared candidate can remain. Historical rollback uses Cloudflare backups.
+
+## Transition from the container deployment
+
+Native releases require the updated release watcher. Once this branch is merged and a user-requested release is being prepared, run the [release-delivery bootstrap](RELEASES.md) from that clean merged checkout using the existing private host configuration and GitHub token. This updates discovery only; it does not select or start a rollout. The next normal rollout installs the native Core and host helpers. Existing OCI DSPs must be explicitly migrated or removed before the native fleet can complete; the current test DSP was authorized for removal rather than migration.
+
+The root backup configuration and decryption key must be present before rollout. The candidate's fixed `prepare-backup` entrypoint starts verified backup service setup before Core replacement. It can initialize an empty repository following the requested backup wipe. Export a private recovery kit and keep it off the VPS before relying on disaster recovery.
+
+Starting a native rollout rejects non-native DSPs that have not finished decommissioning before it queues the Core update. Decommissioned history does not block the transition.
+
+## Verification and local builds
+
+Use clearly named disposable test DSPs in the existing live setup for operational checks. Verify the installed release and backend first: a live host still running the container backend cannot validate native provisioning. Keep checks scoped to the test DSPs and protect existing DSPs and shared services. Do not run full-host loss, reboot or destructive recovery drills on the live host.
+
+CI runs repository, frontend browser and native service/package verification. It does not create a testing VM. The old [VM lab](tests/native-lab/README.md) is retained only as historical recovery-test source and is not part of the current verification workflow.
+
+Run `./tooling/verify` for repository tests. A native package build requires a clean checkout, Node, Python, `patchelf` and Chrome at `/opt/google/chrome`:
+
+```sh
+./runtime/tooling/build /absolute/new-output-directory
+./runtime/tooling/verify
+```
+
+The second command creates a temporary package and exercises two disposable service accounts, private Chrome, independent stopping and restoration of code/data/accounts/services. It requires passwordless sudo and cleans its fixtures. Legacy OCI examples are retained for compatibility investigation and are not invoked by normal build, verification or release publication.
+
+Native services retry startup at a fixed interval without a permanent systemd start-limit latch, so delayed Core availability is recoverable.

+title: Dispatch Provisioner
+status: current
+last_verified: 2026-09-03
+---
+
+# Dispatch Provisioner
+
+`core/provisioner` owns the internal server-side capabilities that materialize, supervise, configure, activate, back up, restore, upgrade, suspend, and retire one isolated Dispatch runtime per DSP. Version `0.6.0` implements layout version `1`, durable provisioning job schema version `3`, service-plan version `3`, Access Control-authorized live jobs and Runtime Agent credentials, managed Paycom activation, and the Access Control-fenced lifecycle controller. It is not exposed through the public SDK, Runtime Gateway, Runtime Agent protocol, or browser API.
+
+Access Control is the lifecycle and organization/runtime-binding authority. Its durable provisioning request is an outbox record; the Provisioner first creates an idempotent but unrunnable job, Access Control records that exact job as current, and only then may the Provisioner persist a live-job authorization. A crash at any boundary leaves the request replayable and the installation non-ready. A successful live service job reconciles to `waiting_for_owner` or the legacy `waiting_for_provider_auth` state. For isolated DSPs, workspace reconciliation promotes the installation to `ready` and the organization to `active` once the owner is active and DSP details have been applied. Paycom authentication and first publication are optional integration work, performed later without changing workspace readiness.
+
+## Runtime layout
+
+`src/layout.js` consumes a manifest already bound to separately loaded server authority. It supports only reviewed template `isolated_dsp_v1` and derives every path beneath one preconfigured owner-private installations root. A caller cannot select a filesystem path.
+
+Each runtime receives distinct private `config`, component data, secrets, state, runtime socket, provider staging, logs, and backup roots. `secrets/runtime-agent` holds only that runtime's exact-mode registration token. Access Control is deliberately absent because human identity and installation routing are control-plane responsibilities. Internal path/environment projection maps the layout into the exact Auth Broker, Collection Manager, Runtime Agent, Paycom, and CDF settings without exporting managed paths through the public SDK or emitting `DISPATCH_LOCAL_ROOT` or an Access Control database root.
+
+The installations root must already exist as a canonical owner-owned exact-mode `0700` directory outside and not above the source checkout. Existing structural directories must also be canonical owner-owned exact-mode `0700` directories on the expected filesystem. Symlinks, mount/device changes, wrong types, special mode bits, unknown structural entries, source overlap, root replacement, authority disagreement, and unsupported templates fail closed before a partial tree is extended.
+
+Creation is idempotent and every mutation is read back. Layout cleanup remains a separate, non-recursive fixture capability that requires trusted failed/no-retention authority and refuses files, unknown entries, or nonempty leaves.
+
+## Durable jobs
+
+`src/job-store.js` owns schema version `3` in fixed file `provisioner.sqlite3` beneath a dedicated pre-created control-state root. The root is canonical, owner-owned, exact mode `0700`, external to the checkout, and separate from installations and service-unit roots. Database files and SQLite sidecars are owner-owned regular single-link files with exact mode `0600`.
+
+Startup uses WAL, full synchronization, foreign keys, bounded storage, integrity checks, complete stored-schema comparison, and root/database identity pinning. An owned exact-mode zero-byte database left before SQLite initialization is recovered transactionally. Schema version `1` is validated and migrated to version `2`; version `2` is then migrated to version `3`, which adds the Access Control acknowledgement authorization table without weakening retained fixture jobs. Unsupported or drifted schemas fail closed.
+
+Two immutable pipelines are readable:
+
+```text
+installation_layout_v1
+  runtime_layout_materialize
+  runtime_layout_verify
+
+installation_services_v1
+  runtime_layout_materialize
+  runtime_layout_verify
+  runtime_service_render
+  runtime_service_validate
+  runtime_service_install
+  runtime_service_start
+  runtime_service_verify
+```
+
+New jobs use the pipeline selected by trusted server composition. Persisted jobs retain their exact pipeline ID, version, and stage snapshot. Progress derives its total from that persisted snapshot rather than the current default.
+
+Request creation transactionally enforces the authority-bound installation, `platform.installations.manage`, explicit operator enablement, lifecycle and revision rules, authority-scoped idempotency, and one active job per installation. A same-key/same-payload request returns the original sanitized job; a changed payload returns `idempotency_conflict`.
+
+Workers claim with bounded leases, a fixed forward-attempt limit, and increasing fences. Every filesystem or supervisor mutation is guarded by the current installation generation, worker, fence, status, and unexpired lease. Short unit-file operations and nonblocking systemd requests run while the claim transaction prevents a replacement fence. Blocking readiness waits happen outside that transaction; the next mutation or checkpoint revalidates authority. Checkpoint and terminal SQL repeat the claim predicates.
+
+Completed layout and service checkpoints are revalidated by later stages, and complete layout plus service health is read again immediately before success. A stale worker cannot render, install, reload, enable, start, stop, restore, checkpoint, cancel, fail, or succeed after reclaim.
+
+## Managed service plan
+
+`src/services.js` derives three base units and, when central Agent transport is configured, one fourth unit from the authority-bound runtime key:
+
+- one isolated Auth Broker;
+- one isolated Collection Manager, ordered after its matching broker;
+- one isolated Runtime Gateway, ordered after both matching infrastructure services.
+- one outbound Runtime Agent, ordered after the matching Runtime Gateway and connected only to the server-configured central hub.
+
+Paycom and CDF remain Collection Manager child processes. The central dashboard and Access Control are never rendered per DSP.
+
+The service-unit root is trusted server configuration, not a manifest or request field. It must be a pre-created canonical owner-owned exact-mode `0700` directory, external to the checkout and the installation/control roots, and its device/inode identity is pinned. Runtime keys, unit names, executable paths, working directories, health commands, environment keys, arguments, and systemd operations are all code-owned. Issued plans are internally branded so the supervisor adapter rejects caller-fabricated plan objects.
+
+The renderer:
+
+- writes a complete candidate bundle under the runtime's private configuration root;
+- permits ordinary path spaces through deterministic systemd escaping;
+- rejects reserved characters and an Auth Broker Unix-socket path longer than the Linux pathname limit;
+- pins executable and working-directory identity plus executable content digest;
+- writes and fsyncs exact-mode `0600` files atomically;
+- rejects unknown candidate entries and unsafe destination files;
+- runs the fixed root-owned `systemd-analyze verify` command with bounded output and timeout;
+- emits only `{servicePlanVersion,status,serviceCount,changed}` receipts.
+
+Units use `Restart=always`, bounded start limits, `KillMode=control-group`, `UMask=0077`, `NoNewPrivileges`, `RestrictSUIDSGID`, `LockPersonality`, native syscall architecture, and the reviewed address-family/namespace settings. A fixed root-owned `env --ignore-environment` launcher discards the user manager's inherited environment before executing the component with only the closed rendered values. The units also unset legacy local-root, Access Control, `NODE_OPTIONS`, and dynamic-loader overrides as defense in depth. No managed unit reads an environment file.
+
+## Installation, health, and rollback
+
+A private exact-mode `0600` transaction journal is written under the trusted unit root before any unit is replaced. Its opaque filename is derived from a digest rather than exposing the runtime key. The journal records the complete prior unit bytes, active state, and persistent-versus-runtime enablement scope. Candidate unit files are promoted atomically one at a time under the durable journal, followed by daemon reload, runtime enablement for the fixture gate, ordered nonblocking starts, and read-back verification.
+
+The user-systemd adapter accepts only a plan issued by `src/services.js` and fixed operations: snapshot, reload, enable/disable, start/stop, failed-state reset, restore, inspect, health, and bounded restart evidence. It validates the installed fragment path, exact process argument, effective UID, cgroup, environment, restart policy, kill mode, umask, enabled/active state, Auth Broker, Runtime Gateway, and Runtime Agent status-socket type/mode/path/owning file descriptor, broker/gateway/Agent health, and Collection Manager lease/status health. After positive read-back, the journal is durably marked `verified` before the job transitions to success, allowing a post-commit cleanup interruption to be distinguished from an unverified installation. A successful `systemctl start` alone is never accepted.
+
+Any service-stage error or cancellation enters durable compensation before rollback begins. Compensation survives worker death, uses a higher fence on reclaim, and has a separate code-owned bound of three attempts. Rollback stops and disables candidate units in reverse dependency order, restores prior unit bytes, reloads systemd, restores prior enabled/active state, and compares the resulting state with the journal. Cancellation additionally removes only the exact candidate files. Rollback never recursively removes runtime data or unknown service-root entries.
+
+Service-plan version `3` adds the optional supervised Runtime Agent to the version-`2` Auth Broker/Collection Manager/Runtime Gateway set. Startup and every fenced mutation validate the complete contiguous persisted checkpoint prefix; service stages also validate the current journal before any supervisor action. Retained earlier-version service job/checkpoint or journal state is rejected before a version-`3` unit mutation rather than being reinterpreted. No live managed earlier-version installation was adopted; old temporary fixtures require the explicit authorized fixture teardown before reuse.
+
+Forward-attempt exhaustion after service work also enters compensation before terminal failure. If rollback itself cannot be completed within its bound, the job fails as `service_installation_failed`; it never becomes ready. Terminal success retains a `verified` journal and successful compensation retains a `restored` journal as private reconciliation evidence outside the DSP layout. The next fenced render finalizes that settled journal before changing any candidate; the controller performs no unfenced post-terminal filesystem mutation. The explicit fixture teardown removes settled journals after proving no competing job exists. No failed candidate replaces prior unit bytes.
+
+## Access Control reconciliation boundary
+
+Fixture registration still requires separate server-loaded pending-fixture/no-retention authority and the `fixture_` runtime-key namespace. Live registration instead requires an Access Control-derived manifest and closed registration authority. A live job is deliberately not claimable when it is first inserted. The implemented durable handshake is:
+
+1. Access Control atomically validates platform authority, idempotency, revision, and lifecycle, moves the installation to `provisioning`, and writes a pending outbox request.
+2. The reconciler creates or reuses one private per-runtime Agent token, stores only its digest/generation in Access Control, and never returns the token.
+3. The reconciler registers the server-derived live manifest and creates or replays the matching Provisioner job.
+4. Access Control atomically records that exact Provisioner job as the installation's current job and marks the outbox request `dispatched`.
+5. The Provisioner persists a `live_job_authorizations` acknowledgement bound to the exact job, organization, and runtime; only then may a worker claim it.
+6. Before every live host mutation, the worker reopens the Access Control authority transaction, checks the exact manifest revision/current job/runtime/organization status, executes the bounded mutation while that authority transaction is held, and checks the same authority again.
+7. A terminal Provisioner job is reconciled back into Access Control. Success becomes ready after the owner and DSP details are complete; otherwise it waits for those steps. Failure remains non-ready with a sanitized code.
+
+`src/installation-provisioning.js` owns the Access Control side of that protocol. Replaying after a crash at any numbered boundary converges on the same request and job. The Provisioner database remains an executor journal rather than a competing installation registry. No browser or public SDK route can call the reconciler or choose its manifest, runtime, roots, units, or worker identity.
+
+## Provider activation
+
+`src/managed-paycom.js` renders the reviewed Paycom Collection Manager definition from the authoritative DSP timezone and fixed project executable. Its profile, source, plans, dependency graph, sync definition, and first request (`paycom-main`, `current`, `full`) are code-owned. The project-root ownership/write chain and code-owned Paycom release-tree, specification, and executable digests bind activation to the reviewed release. The definition contains no credentials, and activation requires exact read-back with no unknown configured collector/source/plan/sync entries.
+
+`src/managed-auth-setup.js` binds the existing Auth Broker setup workflow to one authoritative managed layout and exact configured service plan, including the Runtime Agent when central transport is enabled. It requires literal `create` or `replace` intent and acquires a durable Access Control setup lease before mutation. That lease blocks activation and concurrent setup; every fixed service, vault, and credential-ingress mutation revalidates and renews it, while an expired worker cannot continue. The workflow stops and reads back that runtime's service set, invokes the existing `/dev/tty` credential helper with explicit managed component roots, then restarts and verifies the same service set before releasing the lease. It does not test the provider; `activate` owns the single bounded Auth Broker authentication test. Credentials never enter an argument, environment variable, Access Control, Provisioner state, event, receipt, or routine output. CAPTCHA, MFA, lockout, unknown layouts, ambiguous submissions, and terminal provider states remain human-review stops enforced by the Auth Broker/provider adapter.
+
+`src/activation.js`, `src/managed-activation-runtime.js`, and `src/managed-activation-evidence.js` then perform one idempotent activation. They recheck layout, exact services, Auth Broker, Collection Manager, gateway identity, and provider evidence; apply and attest the fixed definition; run/reuse the job-bound `paycom-periods` baseline; enqueue/reuse the manager-owned current/full five-plan batch; and heartbeat the Access Control fence while polling. A stale worker exits without cancelling shared work. Only the current lease holder cancels/drains exact work at its deadline, leaving activation `verifying` if terminal drain cannot be proven. A fixed catalog-hashed Paycom evidence helper opens the manager and Paycom stores read-only; the Core adapter invokes it through a bounded no-shell stdin/stdout contract. The helper binds the current preparatory run, exact batch verification runs, immutable publication-origin runs, active publication IDs, and content digests while proving the selected target is present in the current pay-period baseline. Access Control persists the closed evidence bundle and its digest atomically with activation-job success, installation `ready`, and organization `active`. A thrown error, failed publication, expired claim, stale worker, or mismatched identity cannot commit readiness.
+
+The server-owner-local entrypoints are `dispatch-managed-activation`, `dispatch-installation-reconcile`, `dispatch-installation-lifecycle`, and `dispatch-runtime-agent-authority`. They require fixed absolute control roots in server/operator configuration and accept no secret, command, endpoint, runtime key, unit name, or provider response from a browser. The private platform console can append fixed provisioning intent and change the organization access overlay; the reconciler derives any resulting fixed suspend/resume work. HTTP never invokes these entrypoints or receives Provisioner identity.
+
+## Managed lifecycle
+
+`src/backups.js` snapshots only the fixed data/state roots while that runtime's services are stopped. It leaves the Auth Broker master key in the separate secrets root, rejects unsafe filesystem entries, writes a private relative-entry/hash manifest, and atomically promotes one server-generated backup directory. Suspended-only restore creates a safety backup and swaps the fixed roots with interruption rollback. `src/lifecycle.js` sequences these adapters through the current Access Control lifecycle lease/fence.
+
+Ready-runtime backup, upgrade, suspension, and decommission first record the managed sync intent, stop it with drain enabled, and prove the manager queue quiescent. Upgrade resolves a different release from an owner-private server catalog, takes a backup, uses the unit transaction journal, verifies target service health and unchanged publication evidence, restores prior sync intent, then advances Access Control's release and manifest revision. Failure restores and verifies prior unit/service/schedule state unless organization suspension now requires the runtime to remain stopped. Resume revalidates infrastructure/publication evidence without authentication, collection, or publication before restoring prior sync intent. Decommission stops and disables units while retaining service definitions, runtime data, and existing backups; it creates no final backup. Removed DSPs can resume their saved configuration and schedules after runtime verification. Permanent destruction requires prior removal and the acting administrator’s password in the platform console, or an approved local command, with failed-attempt retry allowed only through the linked destruction job and strict safe-tree removal.
+
+The entrypoint `dispatch-installation-lifecycle` is server-owner-local. It accepts only closed operation arguments and derives runtime, roots, units, releases, backup binding, and job stages from Access Control/server configuration. `dispatch-installation-reconcile` also resumes queued/expired lifecycle jobs and converges organization suspension/resumption intent.
+
+## Boundary and receipts
+
+Provisioning-request projections contain only request status, job ID, installation/manifest revisions, replay state, and an allowlisted failure. Public-style job and activation projections are likewise closed and aggregate. Manifests, organization/runtime identities, paths, unit names, commands, environments, PIDs, cgroups, sockets, journals, workers, fences, checkpoint bodies, SQLite details, publication IDs/targets, provider responses, stdout/stderr, and exceptions remain internal.
+
+Directory ownership and a user service manager isolate normal operation from other Unix users, not malicious code running as the same account. Stronger per-runtime operating-system isolation remains required before a production second-DSP pilot.
+
+## Verification
+
+Credential-free package verification:
+
+```bash
+./core/installations/scripts/verify
+```
+
+This builds the package and runs credential-free layout/job/service/activation/lifecycle checks. One compact lifecycle integration covers backup/restore, suspension/resumption evidence, failed-upgrade rollback, successful release advancement, retained decommissioning, and separately approved destruction under temporary roots. Authentication evidence remains synthetic; no credentials or network are used, so this is not live-provider acceptance or a production release-upgrade claim.
+
+The explicit Linux user-systemd fixture gate is:
+
+```bash
+./core/installations/scripts/verify-systemd-fixture
+```
+
+It drives one fixture through the real seven-stage durable job pipeline and installs a second under a rollback journal, using uniquely named runtime-only units for both. It starts the real Auth Broker, Collection Manager, Runtime Gateway, and outbound Runtime Agent processes, validates health and socket/process/cgroup identity, verifies both Agents through one temporary central hub, rejects crossed runtime targeting, executes gateway-backed status and sync-now calls, completes credential-free collector workers in each isolated manager, proves one healthy automatic restart, forces repeated fixture-manager terminations until the configured start limit suppresses further restart, rolls both fixtures back or removes the committed fixture bundle, verifies failure isolation, removes fixture units/journals, and confirms the existing local reference services were not restarted. It does not use provider credentials, open EXMP state, add public routing, or perform a live-provider `ready` transition.
+
+For isolated DSPs, `src/owner-onboarding.js` executes an optional owner connection request through the fixed private `paycom.setup` protocol. `optional-paycom-activation.js` records and verifies integration publication evidence independently of workspace readiness, then starts and reads back recurrence. Connection failures remain retryable without disabling the DSP. Existing legacy activation requests keep their original recovery path. Backups, upgrades, suspension and restoration of provisioned DSPs that have never completed Paycom activation verify infrastructure without requiring a Paycom schedule or publication. After a connection succeeds, lifecycle publication continuity checks apply as before. The shared runtime-only Paycom definition and activation implementation live under `runtime-container/src`; the legacy provisioner modules preserve their existing exports. The OCI image contains neither Access Control nor host provisioning code. See DSP acceptance.

+# Update recovery and Cloudflare R2 backups
+
+A rollout still updates Core first, then every DSP one at a time. A failure pauses the rollout. DSPs already verified on the new release stay there; the failed DSP returns to its prior release when recovery succeeds. Remaining DSPs stay on their working release until the owner resumes the rollout.
+
+## Core safety
+
+Before stopping anything, the candidate verifies the installed release, both fixed host-switch permissions, free disk space, database integrity, schema compatibility, and runtime protocol compatibility. It trials its database startup against a copy. Schema transitions must appear in the candidate’s explicitly reviewed migration list; unknown transitions fail preflight.
+
+The updater arms an independent user-systemd recovery timer, stops reconciliation, drains any active reconciliation job, stops Core, and uses SQLite's backup API to capture a consistent database. It restores that backup to a temporary database and checks it before proceeding. In-flight snapshot attempts live separately under `LOCAL_ROOT/backups/platform-core/ROLLOUT_ID/attempt-N`.
+
+The candidate blocks normal HTTP traffic while verification runs. An unpredictable private probe checks identity, database integrity, foreign keys, required tables, and a write/read transaction which is rolled back. Health must remain good during a 15-second observation period. Only then does Core reopen traffic and reconciliation.
+
+The recovery journal lives outside the database being restored. Before promotion, recovery stops the candidate, restores the database in place using SQLite's backup API, restores the previous immutable host helper and service units, and verifies the prior Core. Once the old service can accept writes, replay never restores that database again. After promotion, recovery only finishes opening traffic; it never rewinds newly accepted work.
+
+The separate recovery timer uses the updater's existing process lock. It cannot interfere with an active update, and takes over after an interrupted or timed-out updater exits. It persists a paused rollout after recovery and then disarms itself. Corrupt backups or failed recovery leave the rollout stopped for investigation; they do not authorize a destructive best-effort restore. This is recovery protection, not a zero-downtime guarantee: Core restarts and verification cause a brief maintenance interval.
+
+For inspection or manual recovery, run as the dashboard service account from a trusted checkout containing this change:
+
+```bash
+./core/installations/bin/dispatch-core-recover status /absolute/local/root rollout_ID
+./core/installations/bin/dispatch-core-recover recover /absolute/local/root rollout_ID
+```
+
+Use the actual `rollout_` plus 32 hexadecimal characters from the backup directory. The command verifies the immutable candidate artifact and shares the updater lock. Its output contains state and release identities, never passwords or the private probe token. Do not manually copy a database file over a running SQLite database or delete its WAL files.
+
+## DSP safety
+
+Existing lifecycle protections quiesce scheduled collection, stop the old runtime, snapshot its data/state, runtime configuration and credential-encryption material, install the pinned native package, verify infrastructure and publication data, and restore the prior code/data on failure. Human runtime requests remain unavailable while the installation is upgrading. Backups now reserve room for a full restore before copying data.
+
+A durable compensation checkpoint is written before the restored runtime and its background work start again. Replaying an interrupted compensation skips the data restore after this checkpoint, preserving new records collected by the restored runtime. Lease fencing still applies to recovery mutations. If recovery itself fails, the DSP remains unavailable rather than being reported healthy.
+
+## Cloudflare R2 setup
+
+R2 is the selected off-server destination. The implementation uses restic's encrypted S3 backend. R2 credentials and the repository password are root-only and never passed into a DSP or browser. Until the destination is configured, local recovery works but off-server protection is **not active**.
+
+Use a dedicated private R2 Standard bucket. Disable public access. Create an R2 S3 access key with object read/write permissions restricted to that bucket. The bucket-scoped S3 key is different from a Cloudflare management API token. Keep a copy of the restic password in a password manager outside this server; R2 access alone cannot decrypt a backup.
+
+Legacy backups use **retain all backups**. Automatic retention never runs `forget` or `prune` against that shared repository. An explicitly confirmed **Delete DSP** request is the exception described below. New dashboard-managed snapshots use the independent archives described below. For protection against deletion by the backup key, configure indefinite R2 bucket locks on these prefixes (substitute the configured repository prefix):
+
+- `dispatch/config`
+- `dispatch/keys/`
+- `dispatch/data/`
+- `dispatch/index/`
+- `dispatch/snapshots/`
+
+Leave `dispatch/locks/` unlocked: restic must remove its temporary repository locks. Do not lock the entire bucket. Keep the original legacy locks in place. The root exporter also uses a separate R2 management token to verify and create the new archive retention rules; it preserves unrelated bucket locks. The legacy Remove operation retains backups; **Delete DSP** explicitly erases them.
+
+On the host, install restic 0.16 or newer at `/usr/bin/restic`. Using a protected terminal, create the following root-owned files with mode `0600`. Do not put real credentials in Git, chat, command arguments, or shell history.
+
+`/etc/dispatch/offsite-backup.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schemaVersion": 1,
+  "accountId": "YOUR_32_CHARACTER_CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID",
+  "bucket": "dispatch-backups",
+  "prefix": "dispatch",
+  "localRoot": "/absolute/dispatch/local/root",
+  "coreUid": 1001,
+  "retention": "retain-all"
+}
+```
+
+`/etc/dispatch/offsite-backup-credentials.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "accessKeyId": "R2_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
+  "secretAccessKey": "R2_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"
+}
+```
+
+`/etc/dispatch/offsite-backup-password`: a randomly generated password of at least 32 characters, saved separately outside this host as well. Use the actual service UID and local root from the host deployment configuration.
+
+After a release containing this code has been prepared by release delivery, invoke its verified immutable backup entrypoint as root:
+
+```bash
+sudo /opt/dispatch-platform/releases/RELEASE_ID/core-artifact/code/core/installations/bin/dispatch-offsite-backup init
+sudo /opt/dispatch-platform/releases/RELEASE_ID/core-artifact/code/core/installations/bin/dispatch-offsite-backup enable
+```
+
+`init` is only for a new repository; it does not replace an existing one. `enable` exports existing completed snapshots, proves a new canary can be encrypted, uploaded, downloaded and restored, installs a root-owned timer pinned to this immutable artifact, and only then enables the required-backup policy. It does not start a platform rollout.
+
+The timer scans completed Core snapshots and DSP backup manifests every 15 seconds after its previous run. It copies eligible snapshots to a private staging directory, validates the manifest, encrypts/uploads, downloads/restores, and compares every restored file to the original. Only a successful restore produces a root-owned verification receipt. Each Core replacement and DSP upgrade then waits for its matching receipt. Upload/download/validation failure prevents that replacement and returns the working service through normal recovery. Native replacements require a full recovery proof and allow up to one hour for upload and restore verification. Failure leaves the update recoverable; the runtime is not replaced without the matching proof.
+
+Status and a full read/check of repository data:
+
+```bash
+sudo /opt/dispatch-platform/releases/RELEASE_ID/core-artifact/code/core/installations/bin/dispatch-offsite-backup status
+sudo /opt/dispatch-platform/releases/RELEASE_ID/core-artifact/code/core/installations/bin/dispatch-offsite-backup check
+systemctl status dispatch-offsite-backup.timer dispatch-offsite-backup.service
+```
+
+Every new export includes an actual restore drill. `check` can also be run to detect later remote corruption; it does not overwrite any production data. No stale receipt is reused for a different snapshot digest.
+
+Native recovery archives include application code, exact Node/Chrome dependencies, databases and files, configuration, encryption material, registration credentials, Linux identities, service definitions and startup settings for their scope. A dashboard Core recovery capsule contains only Core; a full-system recovery set combines it with independent DSP capsules. Internal rollout safety capsules retain their existing full-platform format. Individual DSP archives include their completed readiness and suspension evidence so subsequent lifecycle operations can verify continuity after a fresh-host restore. The dashboard’s individual restore restores data and DSP metadata into the existing compatible runtime.
+
+This is a Dispatch application recovery system for Ubuntu 24.04 amd64, not a disk image of unrelated VPS applications. Recovery installs the required Ubuntu packages and restores Dispatch’s exact private runtime dependencies. Records created after the chosen snapshot are outside that snapshot. A compatible fresh host, sufficient disk/RAM, network access to R2/package repositories, and a separately retained recovery kit are required. Existing conflicting Dispatch paths or account IDs cause restore to stop.
+
+### Full platform restoration
+
+Export the private kit as root from the installed release:
+
+```sh
+sudo /opt/dispatch-platform/releases/RELEASE_ID/core-artifact/code/core/installations/bin/dispatch-recovery-kit export /absolute/new-private-kit-directory
+```
+
+Move that directory off the VPS into protected storage. It contains storage access and decryption secrets, the recovery program, Node and its dependencies, and restic. Keep the kit current when storage credentials/password change. Losing both the VPS and its only decryption key cannot be repaired by an R2 archive.
+
+On a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 amd64 VPS, restore as root:
+
+```sh
+./restore list
+./restore restore BACKUP_ID all
+# For a pre-update full Core snapshot in the shared repository:
+./restore restore platform-core SNAPSHOT_ID
+```
+
+Use the exact backup ID and retention tier from the list. The kit downloads and authenticates the encrypted archive, verifies the complete file inventory, installs prerequisites, recreates accounts, restores ownership/code/data/secrets, restores startup services, and verifies Core identity and the health API of each active DSP. Suspended DSPs remain disabled. Interrupted rollouts are paused so recovery does not immediately update the restored version again. A free-space check runs before accounts or installed files change. A failed host restore is not reported as successful; investigate the error on the replacement host before retrying, since partially installed files are not overwritten automatically.
+
+Successful native rollouts prune local safety snapshots and obsolete release trees only after the fleet has settled and root confirms full recovery proofs. Remote backups remain the historical version store. Active restoration and compensation snapshots stay pinned until those operations settle.
+
+## Verification
+
+Tests exercise real SQLite backups/restores with an open supervisor connection, actual SIGKILL at update boundaries, failure before candidate promotion, failed off-server verification, corrupt backups, and replay after service restart. HTTP tests prove maintenance blocks both public and authenticated requests without changing sessions. DSP tests prove the recovery checkpoint is durable and fenced. A real restic repository test proves encrypted upload/download/restore, password rejection, and absence of plaintext business records in repository files. CI installs restic to run this test rather than skipping it.
+
+Cloudflare R2 setup still requires a real bucket and credentials. Local restic tests do not substitute for the R2 canary and bucket-lock checks on the selected account.

+
+
+## Independent Core, DSP and full-system backups
+
+The platform owner's Backups page provides three scopes. A Core operation affects
+only Core; a DSP operation affects only the selected DSP. A full-system backup
+creates a separate Core archive and one independent archive for every eligible
+DSP, together with an encrypted manifest referencing those archives. A full-system
+restore or deletion explicitly selects that complete set. Removed DSPs remain
+stopped and are excluded from new backups; their previous archives remain held.
+
+Every DSP, Core, and the full system has its own hourly, daily, or weekly schedule,
+time zone, time/day, and retention policy. Every new schedule starts disabled,
+including when upgrading from the old shared policy. Only the platform owner can
+change schedules. Enabling the full-system schedule does not enable individual
+schedules. Each full-system run uses its own retention policy for its components.
+
+Core archives contain platform-owner accounts, Core's schedule, platform
+configuration, and platform credentials. The copied Access Control database is
+scrubbed and vacuumed before export: DSP users, memberships, organization data,
+installation coordination, DSP schedules, runtime registration credentials, and
+backup catalogs are excluded. Core recovery capsules exclude DSP runtime roots,
+DSP services, and the tenant provisioner database. Core-only restore preserves
+live DSP records and DSP/full-system schedules, revokes platform-owner sessions,
+creates a verified safety backup, applies Core settings, restarts only the dashboard,
+and checks Core health. Failed verification attempts recovery from the safety copy.
+Current account passwords and disablement are preserved during in-place restores.
+
+DSP snapshots contain runtime data, state, configuration, auth-broker secrets,
+organization details, roles, permissions, users, and that DSP's individual
+schedule. Private host identity metadata supports full-system disaster recovery.
+In-place DSP restores preserve host identities, registration credentials and the
+current runtime release; they use the existing fenced stop, safety-backup,
+restore, verification and recovery sequence. They do not revive old invitations
+or sessions or grant platform roles.
+
+Full-system sets remain incomplete until every component and their encrypted
+manifest verify. A busy/unavailable DSP prevents a new full-system set from being
+queued rather than being silently skipped. In-place full-system restore requires
+the same DSP inventory, validates all selected archives before queuing any work,
+restores Core first, and stops subsequent components after a failure. Progress
+remains visible per component. The full-system schedule is restored only after
+all components succeed. A partial restore is never reported as complete.
+
+### Independent archive retention and deletion
+
+The **Storage** tab shows measured encrypted R2 bytes for Core, each DSP, and
+removed DSPs' retained archives, with a measurement timestamp. The overall total
+counts each archive once. Full-system set totals include their component archives
+and manifest; those totals are not added a second time. Shared repository/rollout
+safety storage, manifests, and unassigned archive objects are shown separately.
+Local working copies are outside these R2 totals. Expired or deleting archives
+continue to consume storage until their objects are actually removed.
+
+The root exporter uses read-only, paginated [S3 object-size listings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_ListObjectsV2.html).
+Measurements refresh after archive changes and approximately every five minutes;
+they include archives beyond the dashboard's recent-history limit. Failed scans
+show the last measurement as stale, or unavailable when there is no measurement.
+Usage failures do not block backup or recovery operations.
+
+Each component snapshot has its own encrypted restic repository at
+`archives/TIER/BACKUP_ID/`. Tiers are `all`, `7`, `30`, `90`, or `365` days.
+Full-system manifests live separately at `sets/SET_ID/`; they contain archive
+references and the full-system schedule, not duplicate DSP data. Every upload is
+verified by downloading it and checking integrity before being shown as ready.
+
+Deleting a Core or DSP backup removes only that selected archive. Deleting a
+full-system set deletes all of its component archives and its manifest, with
+completion withheld until storage confirms removal. Deleting an individual
+component makes a set referencing it incomplete; other component archives remain
+independently usable. No archive-deletion action deletes live Core or DSP data.
+Storage failures remain visible and retryable. Automatic retention cannot expire
+archives held for removed DSPs or active restores.
+
+Root serializes storage mutations under the exporter lock. Explicit archive
+deletion temporarily lifts only the configured archive-tier retention locks and
+restores them from a durable journal. Broader administrator locks block deletion.
+The storage credential and lock-management token never enter the dashboard.
+
+### Recovery on a replacement host
+
+Export and store the private recovery kit outside the VPS. On a clean Ubuntu
+24.04 amd64 replacement host, run `./restore list`, then
+`./restore restore-system SET_ID`. The kit downloads and authenticates all
+components, assembles their scoped metadata into a verified recovery capsule,
+and only then installs accounts, code, secrets, services, and data. A missing or
+corrupt component aborts before installed host paths change. Existing Dispatch
+installations are never overwritten by the replacement-host command.
+
+`./restore restore CORE_BACKUP_ID TIER` recovers only Core on a clean host.
+Legacy full-platform safety snapshots retain their separate recovery command;
+ordinary Core/DSP archives are not mixed with those internal rollout checkpoints.
+
+### Activation and inspection
+
+When a verified Core release switches the host helpers and an offsite configuration exists, it also starts an independent `dispatch-backup-enable-RELEASE_ID.service`. That service performs the encryption/restore canary and enables the root export timer and mandatory offsite policy. This occurs within the normal Core-first rollout; a merge does not modify the live dashboard. Initial setup requires the root-only storage credentials/password. An empty legacy repository is initialized during enable. Automatic scheduling is configured on the Backups page after the service is connected.
+
+`dispatch-offsite-backup check` checks both the legacy repository and all non-expired independent archives. A backup operation that cannot obtain verification or download within one hour fails visibly. A native restore safety upload requires a full recovery proof with a one-hour lease-renewing deadline. Inspect the backup worker and reconciler journals for a failed operation; do not delete a safety snapshot or manually reopen a failed DSP to bypass recovery.
+
+### Permanent DSP deletion
+
+Active DSPs expose Remove DSP. Removal stops services and backup creation,
+revokes DSP sessions, blocks login, and retains data and existing backups.
+Removed DSPs expose Restore DSP and Permanently delete DSP after shutdown
+completes. Permanent deletion requires the acting platform owner's password.
+The worker removes the DSP's services, verifies remote archive erasure, and then
+removes local data, backup files, host account, and scoped Core metadata. Failed
+deletion remains visible and retryable. Newly isolated Core backups and other
+DSPs' archives survive DSP deletion; historical mixed safety snapshots are
+handled conservatively as described below.
+
+Under the root exporter's existing flock, explicit deletion purges every known DSP backup ID in every independent archive tier, including incomplete uploads and expired records. Legacy snapshots are selected by their server-derived source tags, forgotten, and pruned with `--max-unused 0` from the shared encrypted repository, so unused target data is not left in mixed packs. Remaining snapshot IDs are compared before/after and restic checks the remaining repository data. Core/full-platform snapshots containing the DSP are erased. Root-verified complete organization inventories preserve unrelated snapshots, including those made before the DSP existed. Older incomplete inventories cannot prove absence and remain subject to erasure. Other DSPs’ individual snapshots are preserved. No new backup is exported for a DSP whose current lifecycle job is destruction.
+
+Deletion temporarily lifts the exact configured archive-tier and legacy data/index/snapshot locks needed by that request. This makes those shared prefixes writable during the serialized purge; automatic retention remains unchanged. The config/key locks and unrelated administrator locks are preserved, and broader locks block deletion. Removed rules are saved to a root-only journal before changing R2, restored in `finally`, and restored before any subsequent scan after interruption. A failed restoration leaves the journal in place and blocks success. Do not run another storage writer or change these rules outside the serialized root worker during a purge.
+
+Only after R2 objects are absent, legacy pruning/checks finish, and lock restoration succeeds does root publish an opaque receipt bound to the lifecycle job, DSP, and runtime key. The lifecycle worker requires that receipt whenever offsite protection is enabled. A one-hour receipt timeout or storage failure keeps the deletion incomplete; a retry is idempotent. The dashboard backup catalog is marked deleted only after local destruction also verifies.
+
+Full-host capture supports the current Ubuntu 26.04 VPS and Ubuntu 24.04. The verified replacement-host target is Ubuntu 24.04 amd64. The capsule carries private Node libraries, including its loader and libc, to preserve the captured application runtime across those host versions.

+
+# Automated release delivery
+
+A user-requested release and its chosen version authorize publication followed by an agent-operated rollout. Updates is a read-only changelog viewer; the platform owner does not need to start installation there. Publication and server preparation still precede rollout, preserving the existing verification gates.
+
+## Publish
+
+All Dispatch changelog copy and revisions must be authored by a **Luna subagent at
+Max reasoning** (`model: "gpt-5.6-luna"`, `reasoning_effort: "max"`,
+`fork_turns: "none"`). This applies everywhere: GitHub summaries and entries,
+platform Updates, dashboard popups, and changelog examples or previews. Supply
+verified release changes and the current authoring schema; label synthetic examples
+as fictional. The coordinating agent verifies facts and structure and returns prose
+corrections to Luna. If Luna Max is unavailable, report that limitation instead of
+substituting another author.
+
+After the user selects a version, run `.github/workflows/release.yml` on `main` with `version` and a `changelog` JSON array. Each change has `kind` (`added`, `improved`, `fixed`, `removed`, or `changed`), `title`, and `description`. Pass inputs through a JSON file/stdin when using `gh workflow run`; do not interpolate changelog text into shell code.
+
+The workflow verifies the selected commit, builds the native DSP package with its runtime dependencies, verifies two isolated service accounts, and builds portable Core/bridge bundles. It uploads the packages, `dispatch-release.json`, and checksums into a draft, checks GitHub's asset digests, then publishes. It never replaces a published version. Failed uploads leave a draft; a retry can resume only a matching draft and matching asset bytes.
+
+Core bundles contain application files and the helper manifest. Packaging builds the dashboard JavaScript and CSS from the selected Git commit in disposable storage using the committed npm lockfile; it requires npm on the build machine and never uses ignored checkout bundles. Retained verified components already include those assets, so publication can reuse them without rebuilding. Installed hosts need no frontend build tools. They contain no host paths, service credentials, databases or deployment configuration. The host renders its own units and deployment manifest after verifying the published package.
+
+## One-time host setup
+
+Use the clean merged checkout to create a portable bootstrap bundle outside the repository:
+
+```sh
+./core/installations/bin/dispatch-release-build --core-only /tmp/dispatch-bootstrap-core.json
+```
+
+Create a private JSON file with the existing platform service's `uid`, `gid`, `localRoot`, `unitRoot`, `publicOrigin` (`https://dispatch.example.test`) and `port`. Existing private catalogs must be at `<localRoot>/config/oci-releases.json` and `platform-releases.json`, matching the platform's provisioning environment. The local and unit directories must belong to that service account.
+
+Create a repository-scoped GitHub credential with read-only Contents access to `example-organization/dispatch-platform`. Supply it through protected stdin, never a command argument:
+
+```sh
+sudo ./core/installations/bin/dispatch-release-delivery-install /path/to/private-host-config.json /tmp/dispatch-bootstrap-core.json < /path/to/private-token-file
+```
+
+This installs sealed watcher code separately from Core, root-only configuration/token files under `/etc/dispatch/`, durable state under `/var/lib/dispatch-release-delivery/`, and a system timer. The token stays on the server and is never forwarded to asset redirect hosts or DSPs. Re-running the bootstrap with the same verified bundle can update the token/configuration; newer watcher code is installed at a new immutable commit path.
+
+The root watcher downloads only from the fixed private repository and GitHub's release-asset hosts. It checks asset hashes, the published tag's commit and its ancestry on main, bundle paths, file manifests and matching runtime identity. It installs only immutable release directories and the verified release's argument-free host-switch permission. Catalog/status writes run as the platform service account. Neither the watcher nor the bootstrap changes active Core/helper pointers or creates rollout records.
+
+## Recovery and status
+
+The timer checks approximately every 45 seconds. Finished downloads survive retries; incomplete downloads resume when the server honors validated byte ranges. Preparation and catalog registration are idempotent across interruption. A release appears in the catalog only after preparation succeeds. Published identities and prepared directories are never overwritten. Preparation failures use bounded exponential backoff. The release operator investigates failures before retrying.
+
+The release status adapter reads the credential-free `release-delivery-status.json`. The retained operator API can write a bounded retry request after platform-owner authorization; the changelog viewer does not expose this control. Internal errors and download URLs stay out of the UI. Root daemon logs contain closed error codes. Inspect `journalctl -u dispatch-release-watch.service` and the root-only state file when intervention is needed.
+
+Legacy releases without `dispatch-release.json` remain usable in existing catalogs but are not automatically imported. The automation applies to releases published by the new workflow. The independently pinned Core updater remains in place throughout discovery, preparation and rollout.
+
+## Local retention
+
+After Core promotion, discovery and the independent updater use the current Core artifact. Completed native fleet rollouts remove obsolete local release directories after root verification and process checks. GitHub publication history and Cloudflare recovery archives remain remote. The download worker removes superseded download staging directories. See [native DSPs](NATIVE-DSPS.md) and [recovery](RECOVERY.md).
+
+## Grouped release notes and history
+
+The `changelog` workflow input also accepts a rich object. Read this section before
+preparing grouped notes. Legacy arrays remain supported and render under “What’s new”.
+
+```json
+{
+  "groups": [{"id":"backups","title":"Backups & recovery","icon":"database"}],
+  "changelog": [{
+    "kind":"added",
+    "title":"Independent backups",
+    "description":"Back up Core and DSPs separately.",
+    "group":"backups",
+    "icon":"copy",
+    "details":"Optional longer explanation, shown when View details is expanded."
+  }],
+  "afterUpdating": [{"title":"Backup schedules","description":"Enable the backup schedules you want to run."}]
+}
+```
+
+These are illustrative entries, not instructions applicable to every release. Write
+short, factual descriptions and include after-update actions only when the release
+requires them. Each action description must make sense on its own. An empty `details`
+string omits expanded text; an empty `afterUpdating` list omits the notice. Group order
+and entry order are authored; group and category counts are always calculated.
+
+Groups have unique lowercase slug IDs (up to 40 characters), titles up to 80 characters,
+and at least one change. Up to 20 groups and 100 changes are supported. Change titles
+are limited to 160 characters, descriptions to 600, and details to 4,000 (plain text,
+with newlines allowed). Up to 10 after-update actions may contain a 160-character title
+and 600-character description. The presentation plus its plain-changelog compatibility
+copy must fit within 254 KiB, leaving room for metadata in preparation-status receipts.
+Approved icon identifiers are `database`, `users`, `user-plus`, `copy`, `calendar-clock`,
+`chart-column`, `shield`, `check-circle`, `trash`, `lock`, `send`, `refresh-cw`, `plus`,
+`pencil`, `trending-up`, and `info`. No remote icons, HTML, or executable content are used.
+
+The builder derives the original `{kind,title,description}` array from these entries
+and leaves the version-1 `dispatch-release.json` contract unchanged. It also produces
+`dispatch-release-notes.json` with schema version 1, the release ID, source commit,
+and rich notes. GitHub's release body is generated from the same input, including
+expanded explanations and after-update instructions. Both attachment digests are
+verified during publication. Editing the GitHub body alone does not change the UI.
+
+### GitHub release notes
+
+**Only the GitHub release body** uses the approved inline-attribution design (A):
+a short summary, then **New**, **Improved**, **Fixed**, **Removed**, and
+**Maintenance**, omitting empty sections.
+`added` appears under New; `changed` and `improved` share Improved. Each compact
+bullet starts with the change title in bold, then an em dash and concise description.
+Finish the same paragraph with `by @author · PR #number`, linking the author profile
+and PR separately. For changes spanning multiple PRs, pair each PR with its own
+author. Attribution stays visible outside any Details disclosure. The release
+page supplies the version heading; the generated body does not repeat it. Extended
+explanations stay in per-entry Details disclosures. Actual after-update instructions
+appear before the change sections.
+There is no separate Highlights section. A Full changelog comparison link closes
+the body when a previous release exists.
+
+Rich authoring accepts optional GitHub-only fields:
+
+- Top-level `github`: optional `summary` (nonempty plain text, up to 600 characters)
+  and `previousTag` (the verified previous GitHub release tag, up to 160 characters).
+  Supply a summary for new releases and omit `previousTag` for the first release.
+- Per-entry `github`: `pullRequests` accepts up to 20 distinct PR references from
+  `example-organization/dispatch-platform`, each shaped as `{"number": 55, "author": "example-organization"}`.
+  `number` is a positive integer; `author` is the verified PR author's GitHub login
+  without `@` (bot logins ending in `[bot]` are supported). Older integer-only
+  references still produce labeled PR links without inventing an author. New
+  release authoring must supply the object form for each associated PR.
+  `maintenance` is an optional boolean.
+  Set `maintenance: true` only for internal maintenance, refactoring, build, or
+  test changes; this changes its GitHub section without changing its shared `kind`.
+
+Luna Max authors the summary, entry copy, and classifications from the verified
+changes. The coordinating agent retrieves each associated merged PR's number and
+`author.login` from GitHub and verifies the previous tag before passing metadata to
+Luna. Use the PR author, not the release publisher or merge operator. Include all
+associated PR references on new entries; omit unavailable references instead of
+guessing them. Changes without an associated PR remain readable without attribution.
+The renderer creates the PR and comparison URLs and escapes plain-text copy for
+Markdown. The fictional fixture
+[`examples/github-changelog.json`](examples/github-changelog.json) demonstrates
+this input alongside audience classification and concise popup overrides.
+
+The builder consumes `github` fields only when writing `CHANGELOG.md`, which is
+passed to GitHub's release body. It strips them before creating the unchanged v1
+installation manifest, rich Updates sidecar, or popup data. The Updates page keeps
+its feature groups, icons, counts, and expanded details; the dashboard popup keeps
+its existing concise, audience-filtered sections. Old input without GitHub metadata
+remains supported. Published releases and historical notes are not rewritten.
+
+### Dashboard update popup
+
+For releases that should announce changes on dashboard entry, add `audience` to
+**every** rich changelog entry and after-update action. Use `platform` for changes
+exclusive to platform administration, or `dsp` for changes relevant to DSPs and their
+dashboards. Platform owners see both; DSP owners see only `dsp` entries. Classify
+shared changes as `dsp`. Audience labels are never displayed in the popup.
+
+Each changelog entry can also include `popup: {"title":"Short title","description":"Concise explanation."}`.
+This overrides only its popup copy; the existing title, description and details remain
+in the GitHub release and platform Updates page. Without an override, the popup uses
+the original title and description. Required after-update actions use the same copy
+across surfaces and must have an explicit audience. The synthetic example is
+[`dashboard/examples/popup-changelog.json`](../../dashboard/examples/popup-changelog.json).
+
+The builder strips these authoring-only fields from the existing v1 notes attachment
+and installation manifest. It embeds the curated copy in
+`code/dashboard/release-popup.json` within the checksummed Core bundle,
+with the release ID, version and source commit. Existing watchers can therefore
+prepare the release unchanged. The file is private to the server and is not a static
+web asset. Legacy authoring without audience fields remains valid and produces no
+popup; missing classification must never expose legacy platform notes to a DSP.
+
+`GET /api/updates/popup` returns only the authenticated owner's visible changelog for
+the running Core release, after its platform rollout has completed and Core verification
+has succeeded. A DSP owner also needs an active DSP with a ready installation on that
+release. Staff and platform-owner DSP viewing sessions receive no popup. A DSP with no
+relevant entries receives none. The API removes audience and source metadata.
+
+The centered dialog shows New, Improved (including Changed), Fixed, and Removed
+sections as needed, plus actual after-update actions. It checks once on dashboard
+entry and does not interrupt navigation with newly discovered updates. Got it, X and
+Escape all use the same authenticated, CSRF-protected POST with `{ "releaseId": "..." }`.
+Dismissals are idempotent records in `release_popup_dismissals`, keyed by user and
+release, surviving new sessions and devices. The dialog closes after persistence
+succeeds; a failed save leaves a retry action. Background clicks do not dismiss it.
+Only the current release is announced, so returning users do not receive a backlog
+of dialogs. Existing platform Updates history remains unchanged.
+
+### Compatibility transition
+
+Older watchers ignore the optional notes attachment and prepare the unchanged v1
+manifest normally. Older dashboards continue reading their unchanged installation
+catalog. The new dashboard renders legacy notes without requiring rich metadata.
+During a release-driven rollout, Core promotion updates the independently supervised
+watcher to the new Core artifact (see `core-systemd-deployment.js`). On its next tick,
+the new watcher imports the rich attachment even if the older watcher already marked
+that release ready; it does not download the runtime again. Installing the new watcher
+with the bootstrap above also enables this capability before Core promotion. No extra
+release, version choice, or rollout is implicit in this transition.
+
+The notes attachment must match the manifest's release ID, commit, and complete ordered
+legacy changelog. Its GitHub digest is checked and pinned. Later changes or removal
+are rejected once observed. Verified notes are stored as private per-release files in
+`<localRoot>/config/release-notes/`, keeping extra fields out of legacy catalogs.
+
+### Past changelogs
+
+The Updates release selector offers published release history, marks the installed
+release, and allows reading past notes without offering a rollback. Installed notes
+remain visible after completion. Rollout is operated through the local command below;
+only the newest available release can start a new rollout.
+
+The watcher snapshots local catalog metadata to `<localRoot>/config/release-history/`.
+After current-release preparation it also backfills GitHub releases that have verified
+v1 manifests: at most five per timer tick, downloading only manifests and optional notes.
+It checks digests, tag/commit identity, and ancestry on main, pins accepted fingerprints,
+and retries failures with bounded backoff. History failures do not hide the current
+update. Releases published before structured manifests can be shown if a local catalog
+or rollout snapshot still contains their notes; missing legacy text is not invented.
+
+These small metadata records survive installation-package retention. The API returns
+history summaries plus the selected release's notes through
+`GET /api/platform/updates?releaseId=<id>`, under the same platform-owner authorization.
+Invalid or unknown IDs fail; historical metadata never populates installation catalogs.
+Missing or unreadable rich notes fall back to the verified plain changelog.
+
+## Efficient update coordination and recovery artifacts
+
+Updates still require verified backups, verify Core first, and upgrade DSPs one
+at a time. Scoped Core and DSP exports consume sealed snapshots without stopping
+the dashboard, reconciliation worker, or DSP services. Legacy whole-host capture
+retains its writer freeze and active-job guards.
+
+Queue creation wakes the independent user service after the outer database
+transaction commits. Productive reconciliation passes drain immediately; waits
+and healthy pending work exit successfully. A fixed `backup-ready` notification
+file wakes the root exporter through a systemd path unit. One-minute fallback
+timers recover missed notifications. The separate updater survives Core restarts.
+
+Immutable installed release trees are captured into shared, encrypted Restic
+repositories at `recovery-artifacts/<manifest-sha256>`. A per-release file lock
+serializes first capture, and a full readback verifies each new shared artifact
+before publishing references. Subsequent archives contain the authenticated file
+inventory and exact artifact snapshot references instead of the runtime bytes.
+Recovery hydrates and verifies those references before ordinary capsule
+validation and restore. Missing or altered artifacts stop recovery before install.
+The local cache is disposable; backup deletion and local release cleanup never
+remove the remote shared artifacts. Their separate indefinite R2 lock deliberately
+retains even currently unreferenced release artifacts. Automatic remote artifact
+garbage collection is not enabled. Storage totals include shared artifact bytes
+once, separately from per-backup bytes.
+
+Use a recovery kit exported from this implementation for backups using shared
+artifacts; older kits cannot hydrate these references. New kits still restore
+older self-contained backups. The full repository check verifies referenced
+shared repositories as well as the individual backup repositories.
+
+Lifecycle and Core stage start/end times, attempts, durations, safe failure codes,
+and dependency waits are stored in `operation_stage_timings` in the private
+access-control database. A running interval without an end records interruption;
+a retry creates a new interval. Export receipts separately record snapshot-copy,
+recovery-capture, repository-preparation and encrypted-upload timings. These are
+operational diagnostics, not authentication or business payload logs.
+
+
+## Release-driven rollout
+
+After publication, the release operator runs the following **on the platform host as the Core service account**, using the confirmed live local root, user-selected version and verified release commit. The protected local command uses filesystem authority, records the existing active platform owner as the rollout actor, and creates no browser session. It prints only release identity and public rollout status, never login credentials or backup payloads.
+
+```sh
+./bin/dispatch-access-admin rollout-status --local-root /path/to/live/local --version VERSION --commit SOURCE_COMMIT
+./bin/dispatch-access-admin rollout-start --local-root /path/to/live/local --version VERSION --commit SOURCE_COMMIT
+```
+
+Use the installed Core command, or the verified release checkout when upgrading from a version that predates this CLI. Do not use a development worktree's default database. Every command requires the exact version and 40-character commit. Status reports `not_prepared` until matching Core/DSP catalogs exist, `ready` before start, then the rollout's actual status and backup/Core/DSP progress. A conflicting commit is rejected. Wait for `ready` before starting; investigate preparation errors in the independently supervised release watcher.
+
+Poll `rollout-status` until `completed`, verifying Core and every remaining DSP against the selected release. Start is idempotent for an existing target, including paused or completed rollouts. A different active rollout is rejected. Backups must verify before Core switches, Core must verify before DSP updates, and DSPs update sequentially through existing supervised workers. The command queues work; its successful exit alone does not mean installation completed.
+
+If a rollout pauses, investigate the failed service or backup, resolve the cause, and then run `rollout-resume` with the same flags. `rollout-pause` is available to the operator with the same target guard. Neither status polling nor repeated start resumes failed work. Preserve the existing rollback, backup verification and recovery checks. Report completion only after verified rollout completion; otherwise report the concrete blocker.
+
+The Updates page always exposes published release history and changelogs, including installed and older releases. Refresh, version search, release selection and expanded notes are read-only; operational controls remain outside this page.
+
+## Split release packages (manifest v2)
+
+The release builder accepts `--format legacy|split`. The publication workflow
+exposes the same choice and defaults to `legacy` during migration. Legacy output
+remains compatible with installed v1 watchers. Split output uploads exactly:
+
+- `dispatch-release.json`: release identity, component hashes and expanded sizes,
+  runtime compatibility, pinned dependency versions, and embedded structured notes.
+- `dispatch-app.tar.gz`: Core/dashboard/helper files, bridge, and DSP application code.
+- `dispatch-dependencies.tar.gz`: pinned Node/Chrome and the runtime libraries
+  captured with Node. Dependency contents have no application commit or build timestamp.
+
+The v2 runtime identity hashes the ordered application/dependency digest pair.
+The assembled runtime retains its original full file inventory and installed
+layout. Archive extraction rejects links, traversal, unexpected roots, missing
+files, duplicate entries, oversized inventories and checksum mismatches. Expanded
+sizes are checked against the authenticated inventories and used for disk preflight.
+
+The watcher reads both manifest versions. It caches the latest verified dependency
+archive by SHA-256 and reuses it across releases. Each GitHub release remains
+self-contained: its dependency asset is uploaded and verified even when another
+release has identical bytes. Installed releases and recovery backups contain full
+runtime files and do not depend on the download cache. Successful preparation
+removes superseded dependency downloads; it does not alter recovery retention.
+
+Interrupted downloads resume against the same GitHub asset ID, size and digest.
+A server that ignores byte ranges causes a clean restart. Every resumed file is
+hashed in full before use. Completed packages survive preparation retries.
+
+`runtime-dependencies.json` pins Node and Chrome. The publication workflow installs
+that exact Node version and downloads Chrome for Testing from Google's versioned
+archive, checking the committed archive SHA-256. Split builds reject version drift.
+Shared-library changes still change the dependency digest and require a download.
+`build-metrics.json` records local build duration and package sizes; it is not a
+release attachment. Runtime preparation measurements live in the root-only
+`/var/lib/dispatch-release-delivery/preparation-progress.json`, including stage
+elapsed times, current download bytes, disk requirements and dependency reuse.
+
+### Migration order
+
+Deploy v2 reader support using a legacy-format package or rerun the verified
+watcher bootstrap on each host. Confirm the installed watcher code supports both
+manifest versions before selecting `split` for publication. Do not replace an
+existing published manifest or remove its assets. Old releases and their sidecar
+notes remain readable. Publication alone does not initiate an update.
+
+### Unified operator entry point
+
+Use `core/installations/bin/dispatch-install` from the trusted checkout or
+verified installed Core code, as root. This command handles host release delivery;
+DSP onboarding still uses the existing provisioning flow.
+
+```sh
+# Inspect prerequisites without changing the host.
+sudo dispatch-install check --config /root/dispatch-host-config.json
+
+# Configure release delivery for a new or existing host. Supply the existing
+# bootstrap Core bundle built with --core-only; keep the token on protected stdin.
+sudo dispatch-install setup --config /root/dispatch-host-config.json --core /root/dispatch-bootstrap-core.json < /root/github-token
+
+# Prepare an exact release through the same engine used by automatic discovery.
+sudo dispatch-install prepare --version VERSION --commit COMMIT
+
+# Prepare, then start the existing backup-gated coordinator for that exact release.
+sudo dispatch-install update --version VERSION --commit COMMIT
+
+# Inspect preparation, rollout phase, DSP status and bounded operation timings.
+sudo dispatch-install status --version VERSION --commit COMMIT
+```
+
+Setup requires the configured Linux service account and host prerequisites. It
+creates missing service directories, empty catalogs and provisioning environment,
+preserving existing files. Account creation, initial host-control authority, owner
+setup, external origin routing and backup credentials remain explicit host setup
+steps. Preparation installs verified artifacts and registers catalogs without
+activating Core. Update requires the existing configured platform and active owner;
+it uses the original Core-first, sequential-DSP coordinator, backup proofs and
+recovery checkpoints. Repeating update never resumes a paused rollout. Use the
+existing explicit rollout-resume command after diagnosis.
+
+## Faster release preparation and supervised handoff
+
+Prepare one immutable `.changelog/<change>.json` fragment in each PR, using the
+rich authoring schema above (including audience and optional popup copy). Luna Max
+authors these entries under the Dispatch workflow. CI validates the fragments and
+requires a new fragment for PR changes; fragments already merged to main are not
+edited. `examples/fictional-fragment.json` is an explicitly fictional example.
+Internal changes use per-entry `github.maintenance`. Fragment files do not contain
+release versions or previous tags. After-update instructions describe only actual
+required user actions.
+
+From a clean checkout, aggregate fragments added since the actual last release:
+
+```sh
+node tooling/release-notes.js collect PREVIOUS_TAG COMMIT > /tmp/dispatch-notes.json
+```
+
+Review the aggregate against every merged change since that tag. When adopting
+fragments for the first time, include any older changes without fragments in an
+explicit Luna-authored notes file; aggregation cannot recover unrecorded changes.
+Conflicting group definitions fail validation. GitHub, Updates, and popup data
+continue to derive from the same entries. Optional PR links must be verified.
+
+After the user requests a release and selects its version, run this on the actual
+host as the Core account, from the clean selected main checkout:
+
+```sh
+python3 tooling/release.py start --local-root /path/to/live/local --version VERSION --commit COMMIT --notes /tmp/dispatch-notes.json
+python3 tooling/release.py status --local-root /path/to/live/local --version VERSION --commit COMMIT
+```
+
+Omitting `--notes` aggregates fragments since GitHub's latest published release.
+Preflight checks the selected commit's main ancestry, existing tags/releases,
+changelog schema, live database readiness, configured Turnstile secret permissions,
+free space, and updater supervision. No provider secrets enter workflow inputs,
+logs, or the service definition. This is configuration validation, not a claim that
+a real user completed an external provider's browser challenge.
+
+The command saves one private request and a copy of its worker under
+`LOCAL_ROOT/releases/`, then enables a separate user systemd service. The worker
+survives terminal disconnects, Core restarts, and user-manager restarts. Existing
+host configuration must keep the Core user's systemd manager running at boot.
+`status` reports publication, server preparation, rollout progress, and completion.
+The original explicit version and commit remain fixed throughout the operation.
+
+Publication accepts successful verification only from the exact commit's newest
+main push run, with all three existing jobs successful. If that run is still
+active, selection waits up to five minutes for it before choosing fallback
+verification. Its retained artifact must
+have an unexpired matching identity and a verified GitHub archive digest. Otherwise
+the release workflow invokes all three verification jobs, including browser checks.
+Artifacts are retained for seven days. The builder validates component hashes and
+commit identities again, reuses Core/bridge/runtime components, and generates fresh
+release metadata and popup copy for the selected version. The host independently
+verifies the published tag, manifests and downloaded artifacts before installation.
+
+Publication signals the fixed release watcher path, with its timer retained as a
+fallback. Once the catalogs match, the worker starts the existing backup-gated
+rollout, verifies Core first, then each DSP sequentially. A completed workflow is
+not a completed rollout. Completion requires all backups and all remaining services
+to verify the target, followed by a successful check of the public authentication
+session endpoint. The Updates page remains read-only.
+
+A failed publication or paused rollout stops for diagnosis. After resolving the
+cause, use `tooling/release.py resume` with the same identity flags. The command
+does not rerun failed publication workflows; inspect and recover the original run
+first. An uncertain workflow dispatch is reconciled by its unique request ID and
+never blindly sent again. `rollout-status` uses a deferred read-only transaction,
+so observation does not compete with rollout workers for SQLite's writer lock.
+
+The root `dispatch-recovery-prewarm.service` prepares immutable release recovery
+payloads after release staging and periodically in the background. It retains the
+existing encrypted upload and readback proof before caching a shared dependency.
+It does not substitute for fresh data/configuration/secret snapshots. Its per-root
+locks coordinate with backups, and a maintenance lock prevents cache pruning
+while preparation runs. Failure leaves ordinary backup verification mandatory.
+
+Backup exports refresh their eligible queue while other uploads run, up to the
+existing limit of three workers. New snapshots can use idle slots immediately;
+removal and deletion intent is checked again before export. Active uploads drain
+before releasing the parent deletion lock, including when discovery fails.
+
+
+CI retains separate, digest-checked legacy and split component archives from the
+same verified commit. Publication selects the requested format and rebuilds only
+release-specific metadata and popup copy; split assembly preserves the dependency
+archive bytes. Local build metrics are excluded from retained component archives.
+The supervised release command accepts `--format split` on `start` after the
+reader-first migration; omission keeps `legacy`. The selected format is persisted
+with the request and checked again against the published asset set.
+
+## Reproducible verification builds
+
+The versioned `release-formats.json` defines native legacy and split asset names,
+manifest schema versions, sidecar rules, and CI artifact suffixes. JavaScript
+validation/build/publication and Python CI/publication checks share that contract.
+Detached release workers snapshot their publication requirements in the immutable
+request so they do not depend on a later checkout change.
+
+For CI, `dispatch-release-build VERSION NOTES /absolute/new/output --format both`
+creates `legacy/` and `split/` from one Core/bridge build and one native dependency
+stage. Each format still has its own manifests, checksums, inventory validation,
+and retained-component reuse checks. `both` is a verification build option;
+publication still selects `legacy` or `split`, with the existing reader-first
+migration requirement. No runtime deployment or backup checks are skipped.
+
+Choose an output parent on a disk with room for expanded dependencies and both
+archives; avoid a small tmpfs such as `/tmp`. The builder estimates space on that
+filesystem, keeps its staging directories there, refuses existing output, and
+removes its own output on handled build failures. Disk-full, archive timeout and
+child interruption have distinct error codes. Disk estimates cannot reserve
+space against unrelated processes, and abrupt host termination can leave scratch;
+inspect and remove only the failed operation's directory before retrying.
+
+CI stages only the contract's component files before uploading; build metrics and
+scratch are excluded. Artifact downloads verify GitHub's digest before bounded
+extraction and clean partial extraction after failures or interruption. See
+`DEVELOPMENT.md` at the repository root for pinned local tooling and compact PR/CI
+commands.
+
+## Release readiness and recovery diagnostics
+
+Run `python3 tooling/release.py check --local-root /path/to/live/local` during
+preparation, before choosing or publishing a version. It runs GitHub access and
+host checks in a fresh user-systemd service using resolved absolute executable
+paths. `start` repeats this check and stores the paths in its private immutable
+request; the detached worker therefore does not depend on an interactive PATH.
+The check does not publish a release or start a rollout.
+
+On hosts with the readiness service installed, the check signals an independent
+root metadata scan and waits up to 45 seconds for a fresh, host-bound receipt.
+Every intended native DSP must be present. The scan checks ownership, directory
+and file permissions, unsupported links/files, backup size limits and free space
+without reading payload contents or stopping services. Live changes or browser
+artifacts can require waiting for a DSP to settle and checking again. The scan
+never replaces the stopped-service snapshot or encrypted restore verification.
+Older installed releases report `installed_release_predates_backup_readiness`;
+their ordinary backup gates remain mandatory. A supported scanner that is missing,
+stale or reports a problem stops publication. The independent readiness timer and
+path service are installed by verified backup enablement alongside the existing
+backup services; they continue working while exports are busy.
+
+The same preparation signal starts background recovery prewarming for immutable
+release files. Root-owned readiness and prewarming receipts contain bounded codes,
+counts and timings, without credentials or private file contents. Prewarming keeps
+its existing locks, encrypted upload and readback proof. Fresh data, configuration
+and secret snapshots are still captured for each rollout. No elapsed-time reduction
+is assumed until measured on subsequent releases.
+
+Use `tooling/release.py status` with the existing identity flags and `--compact`
+for a concise view of the release phase, backup members, Core and DSP progress.
+The ordinary status also retains operation-stage timings. Phase history records
+execution, attention and resumed intervals separately across worker restarts.
+
+Command failures are persisted as safe codes with their failed phase. Deterministic
+failures stop for diagnosis instead of restarting indefinitely. After resolving the
+cause, use the same `resume` command and release identity. A failure to execute the
+initial GitHub CLI proves that no dispatch was sent and allows explicit retry;
+network failures and other uncertain dispatch outcomes resume workflow observation
+without another publication request. Recovery writes are serialized with the worker.
+Published assets, verification gates and the Core-first sequential rollout remain
+unchanged.
+
+Inactive browser cleanup additionally restricts only the recognized `.cache` and
+`.cache/fontconfig` directories from 0755 to 0700. It retains cache contents and
+rejects active profiles, symlinked directories, foreign ownership and unexpected
+permissions. Existing stale PulseAudio runtime-link cleanup continues to apply.

+# Live DSP lifecycle verification
+
+Run from the clean source checkout matching the deployed native Core commit:
+
+```sh
+sudo ./core/installations/scripts/verify-live-dsps run
+```
+
+The command uses the existing Core service identity and a one-hour session for
+an existing platform owner. It creates two clearly named `TEST … DSP …` tenants,
+registers generated owners through private single-use invitations (no email),
+and exercises the real provisioning, backup, suspend, restore, resume and removal
+paths. Cleanup first removes each DSP through the API, then uses the protected local operator to permanently delete only fixtures created by that run. Browser password confirmation is covered by the dashboard and disposable lab tests. While waiting for operations, it also checks the real session and DSP listing APIs so database contention cannot silently leave the dashboard unavailable. It creates no VM and does not replace Core or reboot the host.
+
+Synthetic provider publications are inserted only into the recorded test DSPs,
+as their own Linux users in a temporary systemd namespace with networking disabled.
+Provider schedules stay stopped. Activation uses explicit synthetic authentication
+and publication receipts; this checks DSP lifecycle, not real provider login or
+collection. The shared immutable runtime package is not modified.
+
+The test requires the matching native Core release, connected encrypted backups,
+a finished rollout, and automatic fleet backups disabled for the test window.
+It does not change shared backup settings. Existing DSP identities and existing
+verified archives are checked afterward. New Core archives containing test DSPs
+would necessarily be deleted during test cleanup; historical Core backups proven
+not to contain the test DSPs are preserved.
+
+Progress streams one scenario at a time. Private state and a credential-free JSON
+report live under `/var/lib/dispatch-live-tests/live_<random-id>/`. A failed run
+leaves its DSPs available for diagnosis, prints its cleanup command and exits nonzero.
+Cleanup only accepts identities recorded by that run and verifies their native
+backend, generated owner address and test name; it does not accept arbitrary DSP IDs.
+
+```sh
+sudo ./core/installations/scripts/verify-live-dsps status live_<random-id>
+sudo ./core/installations/scripts/verify-live-dsps cleanup live_<random-id>
+```
+
+The completed report remains after cleanup. Treat `state.json` as private: it can
+contain generated test account credentials. The current owner session is revoked
+when the command exits normally or handles SIGINT/SIGTERM. A forced kill leaves it to expire within one hour. An interrupted run can be cleaned up after its process exits.

+# Historical native DSP VM lab
+
+This VM harness is no longer run by CI or the current testing workflow. Operational testing uses disposable test DSPs in the existing live setup. The instructions below document the historical isolated recovery drill; do not run it as part of normal verification, and never run its destructive recovery steps on the live host.
+
+Run from a clean checkout:
+
+```sh
+./core/installations/scripts/verify-native-dsp-lab
+```
+
+This creates a disposable Ubuntu 24.04 VM, installs the current native Dispatch
+code, exercises real dashboard HTTP APIs, the real reconciliation worker, fenced
+root helpers, Linux accounts, systemd services and encrypted Restic repositories.
+It destroys and restores the application host, reboots it, uses the real browser
+UI, provisions another DSP, then permanently deletes the synthetic DSPs.
+
+The runner needs Linux/KVM, QEMU, passwordless sudo, Node 22, Python 3.11+, patchelf,
+Chrome, at least 15 GiB free storage and enough memory for a 4 GiB VM. Install the
+dashboard's locked dependencies with `npm ci --prefix dashboard` and
+its Playwright Chromium browser before running. The native package builder also
+requires a clean Git checkout. `--package /path/to/package` reuses a previously
+built native runtime package for debugging; use a fresh build for acceptance.
+
+Production accounts, configuration, providers, email and backups are never
+selected. Test invitations go to a private file inbox. Provider authentication
+and initial-publication receipts are synthetic; provider stores, runtime health,
+manual collection jobs and the tenant API are real. The offsite adapter runs real
+encrypted Restic with separate local repositories. Actual Cloudflare transport,
+retention locks, email delivery and third-party provider accounts require separate
+integration checks; this lab does not report those as tested.
+
+A JSON report is written to `/tmp/dispatch-native-dsp-lab-report.json`; override
+with `--report`. A failure returns a nonzero exit status and preserves diagnostics.
+The VM, temporary SSH key, runtime packages and all synthetic archives are removed
+on exit. `--keep-on-failure` retains the stopped VM only when debugging a failure;
+its directory contains synthetic secrets and must be deleted after investigation.
+No account or Dispatch service is created on the runner host. Downloads use the
+official Ubuntu image with its published SHA-256 checksum; SSH tunnels bind only
+to loopback.
+
+## Coverage
+
+- Invitations, registration, duplicate create requests, native provisioning and owner details.
+- Real native health, synthetic workforce publication, tenant API access and manual sync idempotency.
+- Separate OS identities, peer-data and Core-secret denial, platform authorization and CSRF denial.
+- Verified encrypted DSP backups, remote hydration, restore confirmation and wrong-tenant refusal.
+- Restored data and session invalidation; peer data and service continuity.
+- Suspension blocks existing sessions and new logins; resumption requires a new session.
+- Full host recovery recreates code, accounts, secrets, data and services; metadata tampering and occupied destinations fail closed.
+- Archive rediscovery after rollback, real reboot, then new provisioning using restored host permissions.
+- Browser creation, fleet and backup pages, custom DSP roles, member invitation and revocation.
+- Permanent deletion including individual and containing Core archives, exclusive users and pending invitations; deleted credentials and archive IDs cannot restore access.
+
+Run `./tooling/verify` as well for the larger contract, failure, authorization,
+provider-fixture, backup scheduling, rollout, compensation and retention suites.
+`./runtime/tooling/verify` checks the native Chrome pipe and service sandbox.
+The lab complements these tests; a passing report is not a claim of exhaustive
+coverage of every possible state or live provider behavior.
+
+## Live Cloudflare transport canary
+
+On the configured VPS:
+
+```sh
+sudo node --no-warnings core/installations/tests/native-lab/live-r2.js --empty-bucket
+```
+
+This exercises the actual R2 credentials, encrypted upload, independent restore, recovery capsule
+verification, archive deletion and restoration of retention locks. It refuses a
+bucket containing existing managed archives, writes only synthetic data under a
+new random archive ID, and deletes that archive and its local scratch directory.
+It does not provision DSPs or send email. Run this separately from the VM suite;
+CI uses the local encrypted storage adapter and has no production credentials.

+# Core plugin services
+
+`sdk-service.js` binds each transport to a host-authenticated DSP, plugin,
+installation revision and job. It validates closed SDK messages, checks authority
+before and after asynchronous work, and releases browsers acquired during
+revocation. Ordinary SDK requests cannot choose their own identity.
+
+`access-authority.js` checks the existing Core access database on every request.
+Connections require both a manifest declaration and an explicit connection policy
+grant. Missing grant policy denies connection access. Individual handlers must
+also enforce ownership of job, schedule and published resources.
+
+`package-catalog.js` reads the host-managed approved package digest allowlist from
+`local/config/plugin-packages.json`. Packages reside under
+`local/packages/plugins/<plugin-id>/<version>/`. No request supplies a package
+path or digest. `installation.js` orders the catalog and host lifecycle ports.
+Core accounts retains the durable desired/applied installation registry and now
+accepts this coordinator during reconciliation.
+
+The directory API enables the coordinator with the scoped worker launcher,
+initialization hooks and independently built packages. `runtime-services.js`
+adapts jobs, schedules, publication and structured logging to existing durable
+DSP services. Worker execution remains bounded by global and per-DSP admission.
+The dashboard's split mode forwards HTTP requests to `core/api/`; private worker
+SDK traffic continues using bound Unix sockets.

+# Independent updates
+
+The Platform Owner Updates page uses separate Core and DSP release histories.
+Only the active platform owner outside a DSP view can issue update commands.
+Requests require the normal session, CSRF protection and an idempotency key. The
+worker rechecks owner authority before executing a command, including after a
+release download. Commands never accept an arbitrary repository or executable.
+
+## Code and private storage
+
+| Location | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `core/updates/github.js`, `extract.py` | Read published releases from the two Dispatch repositories; verify tag, main commit, hosted release-workflow provenance, archive, inventory and plugin packages. |
+| `core/updates/local-releases.js` | Durable release identities, selected versions, Dev health proof, rollout and interrupted-operation journal. |
+| `core/updates/commands.js`, `worker.js` | Persistent owner commands, one external worker and periodic release discovery. |
+| `core/updates/directory.js`, `transport.js` | Private worker-to-API socket and DSP activation under the directory controller. |
+| `host/releases/core.js`, `core-state.js` | Stop Core services, snapshot Core state, swap code, verify API/database health and recover. |
+| `host/releases/dsp.js`, `runtime.js`, `runtime-package.js` | Drain one DSP, snapshot its state, copy and verify runtime files, select its installed plugins and restore that DSP on failure. |
+| `host/releases/provisioning.js` | Give new DSPs the last completely rolled-out release. |
+| `host/releases/setup.js`, `bin/dispatch-updates` | Configure permanent Dev, register an existing split baseline, prepare the independent worker and queue offline recovery. |
+| `dashboard/frontend/src/pages/Updates.tsx` | Owner controls, changelogs, progress and recovery UI. |
+| `local/config/updates.json` | Private permanent Dev identity and API loopback port. |
+| `local/state/updates/` | Verified packages, command history, worker heartbeat and release journal. |
+| `local/state/dsp-releases/` | Each DSP's selected release receipt. |
+| `local/backups/updates/` | Private Core and per-DSP rollback snapshots. |
+| `local/tools/update-worker/` | Retained bootstrap code that survives a Core directory swap. |
+| `dsps/<id>/runtime/releases/` | DSP-owned runtime and catalog metadata; newly prepared copies omit optional plugin payloads. |
+| `local/packages/plugins/` | Shared verified plugin package cache, used for installation and release approval. |
+| `dsps/<id>/plugins/<plugin>/versions/` | That DSP's installed plugin code and retained rollback versions. |
+
+The worker checks both feeds when idle, about every five minutes. **Check for
+updates** refreshes the selected product. Every install/start-rollout command
+refreshes its product again; a stale button cannot install an superseded release.
+An active rollout continues using its pinned digest when a newer release appears.
+Release downloads only stage verified files. They do not select code or start
+services. Shared dependencies remain versioned copies inside each DSP release.
+
+DSP code and optional plugin packages continue to ship in one DSP release. The
+host keeps that full release, but each DSP receives only the runtime and catalog
+metadata. The original release manifest/digest authenticates the exact copied
+subset. Install copies a sealed plugin into only the requesting DSP. Rollout
+updates enabled and disabled installed plugins to the selected release versions;
+uninstalled plugins are not copied. New DSPs have only the built-in Cortex
+connection until plugins are installed, and use the last completed fleet release.
+New plugins are visible only to DSPs on a release that approves them. Update Dev
+exposes them to Dev first; rollout exposes them to each DSP as it updates. Both
+session bootstrap and the Plugins endpoint apply this same catalog filter, so
+signing in or opening a platform-owner DSP view cannot reveal a Dev-only plugin.
+
+Existing full runtime copies remain readable for rollback. Installing Core does
+not rewrite those copies. New DSP creation and preparation of a new DSP release
+use the smaller layout. Previously installed or historical release code remains
+retained for recovery; this change does not delete credentials, settings, business
+data or rollback packages. Runtime-only copies are verified by the host's
+`verifyRuntime`; `verifyRelease` still requires the complete publication archive.
+
+## Initial deployment and configuration
+
+These steps belong to a separately reviewed installation procedure. They are not
+performed by publication or by opening the Updates page.
+
+1. Publish a reviewed Core release containing these controls. Identify the exact
+   Core and DSP manifests/digests for the initial split deployment. Make private
+   offline backups and rehearse the cutover and rollback in an isolated platform.
+2. Provision or select the permanent testing DSP. It must be an existing, ready
+   directory installation. Validate Core with synthetic data and a separate API,
+   dashboard, state, ports and service names before the production cutover.
+3. During the installation maintenance window, install the verified Core code at
+   `live/`. Install and pin a verified DSP runtime for **every** retained DSP;
+   each must have its own `runtime/releases/<digest>` and selected receipt.
+   Migrate existing plugin receipts/approvals as needed without replacing DSP
+   credentials, settings or databases. All initial DSPs must share one approved
+   release. No retained DSP may depend on the old `live/runtime` fallback.
+4. Using the installed code and private `DISPATCH_PLATFORM_CONFIG`, run
+   `bin/dispatch-updates configure DSP_ID API_PORT`. It validates Dev and writes
+   the private configuration. The Dev identity cannot subsequently be replaced.
+   Normal decommission and deletion paths protect that DSP.
+5. Stage the published baselines through `GitHubReleases.refresh('core')` and
+   `.refresh('dsp')`, using `LocalReleases` rooted at `local/state/updates` with
+   the configured Dev identity. Staging has no activation hooks. The host needs
+   GitHub CLI with `gh attestation verify`, Python 3 and outbound access to GitHub
+   and its release asset hosts. CLI authentication stays private; no GitHub write
+   permission is needed for discovery or verification.
+6. With Core services stopped, run `bin/dispatch-updates adopt CORE_DIGEST`.
+   This only records an **already installed** baseline. It verifies live files,
+   each DSP receipt, protocol compatibility and permanent Dev. It does not perform
+   the monolithic-to-split migration and will reject a mismatched live tree.
+7. Prepare service units with the existing startup tooling. When configured,
+   `prepareStartup` also renders `dispatch-updates.service`. Review and install
+   the generated unit alongside the API/dashboard units, then enable the worker.
+   Its API port must match `updates.json`. Confirm installed versions, worker
+   health and owner access before leaving maintenance.
+
+A missing configuration leaves the page disabled. No guessed Dev identity,
+version, baseline or production service activation is supplied automatically.
+Core `0.0.1` predates the worker, so the initial installation cannot be bootstrapped
+by clicking Update Core on that release. The source implementation and its
+adoption command are not a completed production migration.
+
+## Activation and recovery
+
+Core and DSP updates require matching protocol versions; incompatible updates are
+rejected before activation. Releases retain their own SDK/package versions.
+Core changes can temporarily interrupt the shared dashboard/API even though DSP
+code does not change. The browser reconnects and reloads after the Core digest
+changes. A retained bootstrap worker runs outside the replaceable live tree and
+hands off to the active Core release's verified worker after a successful update.
+
+Core snapshots include configuration, secrets and private Core state, excluding
+the updater's own journal. A failed health check restores the previous Core code
+and compatible state, including database schema. Bootstrap configuration remains
+readable during recovery. DSP snapshots include that DSP's credentials, settings,
+databases, sessions and plugin installation state. DSP rollback restores only
+that DSP's files and associated plugin authority; it does not replace the entire
+Core database or another DSP's data.
+
+Idle DSPs with a recorded scheduler sleep request can wake for installation and
+live health verification. Their normal idle policy resumes afterward. A failed
+update returns an originally sleeping DSP to sleep. An owner stop, suspension,
+uncompleted setup or newer lifecycle request is never silently overridden; the
+rollout pauses until the owner resolves it. DSPs already asleep before the sleep
+receipt support was installed require one normal wake/sleep cycle before the
+updater can distinguish them from deliberate stops.
+
+**Pause rollout** takes effect between DSPs. **Resume rollout** retries the same
+pinned version. Worker restarts mark in-flight commands interrupted and pause
+rollouts; an interrupted activation must recover before new installs. Use
+**Recover update** when the API is available. If Core is offline, the platform
+operator can queue recovery with the retained worker code:
+
+```sh
+DISPATCH_PLATFORM_CONFIG=/absolute/private/config/platform.json \
+  /absolute/retained/bin/dispatch-updates recover OWNER_USER_ID
+```
+
+The user ID must still identify an active platform owner. The external worker
+executes recovery. Do not clear the operation journal, swap code manually or
+replace a database to bypass an interrupted update. Existing release packages,
+command records and snapshots are retained; automatic retention/pruning is not
+implemented. Monitor private disk usage and archive only after reviewing which
+receipts and rollback operations still reference those files.
+
+## Verification
+
+`npm test` covers command authorization/idempotency, release verification, latest
+release ordering, lifecycle rollback, interruption recovery, scheduler sleep and
+per-DSP isolation. `npm run test:integration` exercises the wider API/dashboard.
+After building the dashboard, run these browser checks:
+
+```sh
+cd dashboard
+npx playwright test --config playwright.updates.config.cjs
+```
+
+The explicit `dashboard/examples/independent-updates-preview.js` fixture uses
+synthetic owners/DSPs and simulated host actions. It is not a production updater.
+The browser checks cover independent controls, newer-release reset, paused
+rollout, sequential resume and mobile layout. CI runs the same browser checks.
+
+`tests/architecture/release-update.acceptance.js` additionally installs a real
+Paycom package in a private Linux/systemd namespace lab. It verifies Cortex-only
+startup without optional plugin payloads, installs Paycom, switches DSP and
+Paycom versions, wakes a sleeping DSP and checks rollback of its private state. Provide sealed
+Node/tini and browser tool roots plus explicit Core/DSP release directories via
+`DISPATCH_WORKER_TEST_TOOLS`, `DISPATCH_WORKER_TEST_BROWSER`,
+`DISPATCH_UPDATE_TEST_CORE` and `DISPATCH_UPDATE_TEST_DSP`. It uses synthetic data
+and no provider credentials. Native Core service swapping still requires a
+separate deployment rehearsal with isolated service names before live cutover;
+unit lifecycle tests inject service control while exercising real files/SQLite.

+
+# Dispatch dashboard
+
+The dashboard presents the authenticated Dispatch UI. In split mode it serves
+static assets and forwards `/api/` requests to the independently running
+`dispatch-api` service. Backend composition and HTTP implementations live in
+`core/api/`; account authority lives in `core/accounts/`.
+
+Run `bin/dispatch-dashboard --api-origin http://127.0.0.1:4311` for the UI-only
+service. Without `--api-origin`, the command retains the combined compatibility
+launcher for existing deployments. See [Dispatch API](../core/api/README.md) for
+service ownership and migration details. Frontend plugins use `dispatch-sdk/ui`
+for session-aware requests, shared controls and plugin settings.
+
+## Date and time
+
+Event timestamps are UTC instants in storage and API responses. The dashboard
+formats them using the device timezone by default. Settings → Date & time offers
+a validated IANA timezone override, saved per account on the current browser;
+it follows the user while viewing other DSPs and synchronizes across tabs.
+
+Plugins can use `useTimezone()` from `frontend/src/lib/timezone.tsx` and
+`dateTime(value, timeZone)` from `frontend/src/lib/date-time.ts` for event times.
+The same provider covers connection checks, sync activity, audit events,
+invitations, backups and release timestamps.
+
+Business dates are different: Paycom timecard dates, punch clock readings and
+report boundaries belong to the DSP's business timezone. Use `useBusinessToday`
+for the current DSP date and the calendar helpers for labels and day navigation.
+Do not parse a date-only string as an event timestamp or convert a punch clock
+reading into the viewer's timezone. A display preference never changes a DSP's
+collector configuration or schedule. New DSP onboarding explicitly records the
+business timezone, initially detected from the owner's browser.
+
+Existing DSP corrections must keep the organization timezone and plugin source
+timezone consistent while collection is idle. Keep prior publications and run
+receipts unchanged; new runs capture the corrected source configuration.
+
+## Start
+
+Read-only operational mode:
+
+```sh
+./bin/dispatch-dashboard
+```
+
+Permission-gated private operator modes:
+
+```sh
+./bin/dispatch-dashboard --operator
+./bin/dispatch-dashboard --operator --installation-operator
+```
+
+`--operator` enables **Sync now** only for a selected member with `sync.run`. The separate `--installation-operator` capability enables fixed platform provision/retry outbox requests; it does not run the private reconciler, systemd, credential setup, or activation in the HTTP process. The service template omits `--installation-operator` by default; enabling it requires a deliberate trusted server-owner unit change and read-back.
+
+For local development, open `http://127.0.0.1:4310`. The installed service is instead configured for the canonical `https://dispatch.example.test` origin and is reached only through the supervised Cloudflare Tunnel. Public-origin mode requires secure cookies, exact Host and mutation Origin validation, and Cloudflare HTTPS proof; direct loopback/tailnet requests without that proxy metadata fail closed. Human login and organization authorization are always enabled.
+
+For already-authoritative ready managed installations, the server may receive an owner-private `DISPATCH_INSTALLATIONS_ROOT`. This is deployment configuration, not a browser/HTTP setting. Its runtime router derives and pins each managed gateway socket below that root.
+
+## DSP removal and restoration
+
+Active DSPs offer **Remove DSP**. Removal immediately signs out DSP users and prevents sign-in, pauses queued onboarding and backup work, stops and disables services, and keeps the DSP's data, credentials, service definitions, and completed backups. Existing backups are protected from expiration and are not newly exported while removed. A user can belong to only one DSP; platform support uses the separate DSP viewing context.
+
+The **Removed** tab contains removing, removed, restoring, and deleting DSPs, including failed operations. Once shutdown is complete, **Restore DSP** starts and verifies the retained runtime, restores its previous collection schedule, re-enables account access, and resumes normal backup scheduling and retention. Previously issued user sessions remain invalid. Earlier removals that deleted service definitions are migrated with their saved schedule; restoration reinstalls those definitions. Failed restoration keeps access blocked and remains retryable.
+
+**Permanently delete DSP** is available only after removal. It requires the signed-in Platform Owner's password, checked on the server with permissions, session validity, CSRF, revision checks, and password-attempt throttling. The password is not saved in lifecycle jobs or audit records. Deletion removes DSP data, files, accounts, credentials, and local and remote backups. Native DSPs remain visible until credential and Core account cleanup finishes. Full-platform backups containing the deleted DSP are also erased; other DSPs' individual backups remain.
+
+## Initial platform owner
+
+Create the initial platform-only owner from a private server terminal using the same runtime paths as the dashboard:
+
+```sh
+./bin/dispatch-access-admin owner-create
+# Recover access or replace the login email/password later:
+./bin/dispatch-access-admin owner-list
+./bin/dispatch-access-admin owner-recover
+```
+
+The commands prompt for credentials privately through `/dev/tty`; no passwords are accepted in arguments, environment values, or pipes. Recovery revokes existing sessions. The optional invitation-based `bootstrap --email OWNER_EMAIL` flow remains available and defaults to no organization. See platform administration for setup and recovery details.
+
+Everyone signs in on the same page. Platform owners land in the separate core-hosted console with DSPs, Updates, Backups, blank Plugins, Diagnostics, and Settings. DSP users retain their organization-scoped pages. The dashboard no longer creates a local DSP at startup.
+
+## Access a DSP as its owner
+
+Platform owners can choose **View** from a DSP's action menu or details panel to use its existing owner interface with full owner permissions for support. A persistent banner names the DSP, explains that changes are saved to it, and provides **Exit view**. Team management, roles, invitations, DSP onboarding, and available runtime actions are enabled. Team, roles, invitations, activity, and workspace details use the selected DSP's real data. Home Page and Paycom retain their current placeholder behavior. Account details continue to identify the signed-in platform owner.
+
+Viewing lasts up to 15 minutes, survives refresh in that tab, and leaves other tabs in their existing context. It does not create a membership or sign in as the owner. The server validates a separate, session-bound viewing reference on each request and applies the same permissions, CSRF validation, backup locks, and runtime readiness checks as DSP owner requests. The context can change only the selected DSP; exit it to use platform controls. Suspended or removed DSPs cannot be viewed. Expired or unavailable views return to the platform console with an explanation. Entering a view records `organization.view.start` under the platform account in the DSP activity history. DSP changes and sync requests are attributed to that platform account. Account security settings and sign-out operate on the signed-in platform account.
+
+## Diagnostics
+
+Platform Owners can use **Diagnostics → Deploy test DSP** to create a native DSP with synthetic employees and timecards. Each request creates a clearly named `TEST DSP`, assigns the requesting Platform Owner as its owner without sending an invitation email, and queues normal provisioning. The page shows progress; the DSP remains available until explicitly deleted through the DSPs page. The same removal, restoration, and password-confirmed permanent deletion controls apply.
+
+The private installation reconciler seeds only DSPs recorded in the durable diagnostics table, then uses the existing activation authority with explicitly synthetic provider evidence. The fixed private Runtime Agent command accepts only the recorded DSP identity, refuses existing non-diagnostic publications, and persists its result for retries. It is excluded from public SDK capabilities. Real provider authentication and collection are not exercised; collection schedules are manual and the sync stays stopped.
+
+Diagnostics requires native provisioning to be enabled. Schema 12 adds the diagnostics records while retaining existing organizations, identities, and lifecycle data. The HTTP process queues work and never executes host commands.
+
+Optional non-secret local-DSP configuration:
+
+```sh
+DISPATCH_DASHBOARD_DSP_NAME='Example Delivery LLC' \
+DISPATCH_DASHBOARD_STATION='TST1' \
+./bin/dispatch-dashboard --operator
+```
+
+The installed service reads optional display settings from `<local-root>/config/dashboard.env`. User name and role now come from the authenticated account and membership rather than display-only environment values.
+
+## Frontend and page scope
+
+The frontend uses React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS, and locally owned shadcn/ui components. `frontend/src` owns the shared shell, authentication, DSP management, team administration, and account settings. The Updates and Backups pages mount the existing isolated controllers so their polling, rollout recovery, restore checks, and idempotent requests retain their tested behavior.
+
+Platform owners have **DSPs**, **Updates**, **Backups**, **Plugins**, and **Settings**. DSP members have **Home Page**, **Paycom**, **Team & Roles**, and **Settings**, subject to their existing permissions. Plugins and Home Page contain only a page title and make no workforce or bootstrap requests. Paycom provides the daily Timecard and Employees views described below. CDF and Integrations have no frontend routes; existing protected backend APIs remain available to authorized clients.
+
+`npm run build` type-checks the React source and produces `public/assets/frontend.js` and `styles.css`. The generated JavaScript and CSS are ignored by Git; build them before starting a fresh development checkout. The local Inter font remains tracked. Release packaging builds JavaScript and CSS from the selected commit and includes them in the Core artifact, which runs without frontend build dependencies. The server snapshots the browser assets with content-addressed URLs, preserving cache consistency across releases. A fresh per-response style nonce allows the dialog library to manage scrolling without allowing arbitrary inline scripts or styles.
+
+For an isolated synthetic preview:
+
+```sh
+npm ci
+npm run build
+npm run preview:ui
+```
+
+Open `http://127.0.0.1:4339`. Fixture-only accounts are `platform@example.test` and `owner@example.test`, both with password `synthetic preview password`. The preview uses a disposable database. Backup execution is simulated; it does not send emails or change runtimes.
+
+Browser regression checks:
+
+```sh
+npx playwright install chromium
+npm run test:ui
+```
+
+The platform administration page lists DSPs with owner email, runtime health and onboarding status, plus search and Running, Onboarding and Removed filters. Create New DSP opens an email-only dialog. A single Access Control transaction creates the immutable organization and runtime identity, owner invitation and provisioning outbox request. The existing full-detail service API remains compatible with private tooling.
+
+After accepting the invitation, the owner supplies the DSP name, abbreviation, station and timezone. Details submitted during provisioning are retained and applied after the infrastructure worker finishes, without changing the container identity or data paths. DSP details can be completed from Team & Roles or Settings. Paycom remains blank in this frontend scope; provider enrollment is not exposed here.
+
+Manage updates reads the deployment-owned OCI release catalog and starts a durable fleet rollout. The private reconciler queues one verified lifecycle upgrade at a time, pauses on failure or unready DSPs, and records completion only after every current DSP is on the target and ready. New DSPs inherit the target and join an active rollout. Version identifiers remain internal to each DSP; the UI shows platform update selection, progress and history. See platform administration operations for deployment requirements and acceptance checks.
+
+Removal retains runtime data and backups. Permanent deletion remains a separate action. Both are available in each DSP's actions menu, using the existing session-bound control references and confirmation checks.
+
+## Invitation delivery
+
+Dashboard-created DSP-owner and member invitations are delivered through Cloudflare Email Sending as `Dispatch <invites@dispatch.example.test>` when `DISPATCH_EMAIL_ACCOUNT_ID` is present. Public-origin mode refuses invitation creation before Access Control mutation when the adapter is absent; local development without a public origin may retain the one-time manual handoff. The Dashboard reads the API token only from the fixed owner-private `<secrets-root>/email/cloudflare-api-token` file; the token is never accepted through HTTP, argv, or an environment value. The sending request uses the authoritative invitation email, organization, role, expiry, and code-owned `https://dispatch.example.test` origin.
+
+A Cloudflare `delivered` or `queued` result suppresses the raw invitation link in the browser. A deterministic rejection or ambiguous transport result preserves the same one-time link as an authorized manual fallback and is never retried automatically. Platform mutation replays do not send again because Access Control does not return the raw token on replay. Cloudflare Email Preview must remain disabled because message bodies contain invitation capabilities.
+
+The initial platform bootstrap remains an owner-private terminal handoff so no email dependency can weaken first-owner initialization.
+
+## Turnstile protection for sign-in and registration
+
+Cloudflare Turnstile can protect `POST /api/auth/login` and `POST /api/auth/register`.
+The Managed widget checks the browser while the user fills out the form. Submitting
+requires a fresh token, and the server verifies success, the canonical hostname,
+and the exact `login`, `register`, or `forgot_password` action before checking a password or creating an
+account. Tokens never enter Access Control, audit records, or logs. Existing account
+and address throttling, invitation validity, CSRF, and session checks remain in force.
+Rejected login challenges count toward the existing failed-attempt limit; provider
+outages do not. Signed-in invitation acceptance retains its session and CSRF checks
+without another challenge.
+
+Activation is deployment-owned and opt-in so an unconfigured upgrade does not lock
+out the existing installation:
+
+1. Create a **Managed** Turnstile widget in Cloudflare restricted to
+   `dispatch.example.test`. Leave pre-clearance disabled; Dispatch verifies each
+   protected submission directly.
+2. Store its secret at `<secrets-root>/turnstile/secret-key`, owned by the dashboard
+   service account, with directory mode `0700` and file mode `0600`. Symlinks and
+   hard-linked secrets are rejected. Do not put the secret in environment variables,
+   command arguments, frontend code, or Git.
+3. Set `DISPATCH_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY` to the widget's public site key in
+   `<local-root>/config/dashboard.env` and restart through the normal deployment
+   process. The public site key alone is returned in the session response.
+4. Verify a real browser login and invitation registration on the canonical hostname,
+   including retry after an incorrect password, then inspect Turnstile Analytics.
+
+When the site-key setting is absent, the existing authentication flow is retained.
+When present, startup rejects incomplete or invalid configuration, noncanonical
+origins, and Cloudflare dummy keys. A missing, rejected, expired, or reused token
+cannot create a session or account. Siteverify requests have an eight-second timeout;
+transport errors fail closed with a retryable message. The form keeps entered values
+and refreshes verification after a failed submission. Core backups and host recovery
+include the private Turnstile secret and its directory ownership.
+
+Only configured HTML responses allow the Turnstile script and iframe origin in CSP.
+The widget script loads on authentication forms, not normal dashboard actions. Local
+previews need no Cloudflare credentials. `tests/turnstile.test.js` exercises the real
+verification adapter using simulated Siteverify responses; the isolated frontend
+fixture's `DISPATCH_TURNSTILE_FIXTURE=1` option supports deterministic browser tests.
+Those tests cover form behavior and enforcement, not Cloudflare's live bot detection.

+
+## Security boundary
+
+- Every protected route requires an authenticated opaque session.
+- DSP-owner and member routes contain no organization ID; the server derives the effective DSP from the active membership.
+- Platform ownership does not automatically grant workforce access to every DSP.
+- Organization switching submits a membership ID, and the server resolves that membership's organization.
+- Every operational call reloads current session, membership, role, organization, and installation authority before using a local or gateway connector.
+- Managed connector/socket selection is server-owned, and the gateway verifies its expected runtime identity on every call.
+- Session cookies are `HttpOnly` and `SameSite=Strict`; session values are hashed at rest and never stored in browser storage.
+- State-changing requests require JSON, the session's CSRF token, and a fixed route.
+- Platform organization controls use opaque random references in JSON bodies rather than organization or invitation IDs in URLs. References are hash-only at rest, session-bound, expiring, and re-authorized per request.
+- Platform organization creation, status/invitation changes, and provision/retry requests are idempotent. Invitation-path replays return no raw handoff.
+- Sync additionally requires `--operator`, a ready installation, and `sync.run`.
+- Passwords use versioned scrypt hashes; plaintext passwords and invitation/session tokens are not persisted.
+- Provider credentials, Auth Broker vault contents, browser endpoints, and browser sessions are never exposed.
+- Workforce data remains protected business data and must not enter general logs or public issue trackers.
+- One exact Cloudflare Tunnel route is the public network boundary. The origin remains loopback-only; secure host-only cookies, exact Host/Origin/HTTPS checks, application throttling, managed WAF, and managed DDoS protection protect the public login/invitation surface. Bot Fight Mode remains off during testing because its zone-wide policy challenged scripted/headless acceptance. Authenticated transactional invitation email is enabled with Cloudflare Email Preview disabled. Administrator MFA/passkeys, reviewed bot controls, and final independent review remain hardening work. Password recovery has persistent per-email, per-IP, and installation-wide throttles shared by all dashboard processes using the access database.
+
+See [Access Control](../core/accounts/OVERVIEW.md) for authorization and account storage.
+
+## Verification
+
+```sh
+./core/accounts/scripts/verify
+./runtime/gateway/scripts/verify
+npm run build --prefix dashboard
+npm test --prefix dashboard
+```
+
+
+### Hotfix builds
+
+Published releases accept `X.Y.Z` and `X.Y.Z+hotfix.N`, where `N` is a positive integer without leading zeroes. For example, `0.0.7+hotfix.1` appears as **0.0.7 — Hotfix 1**. It is a separate GitHub tag and immutable release, with internal identity `dispatch_0.0.7_hotfix.1`. Existing tags and assets must never be replaced.
+
+Dispatch explicitly orders release numbers and then hotfix revisions numerically; this is an application policy because SemVer ignores build metadata when comparing precedence. A later publication date cannot make the original build supersede its hotfix. Historical prerelease catalog entries retain their publication-date fallback. Core, DSP runtime, host control, recovery, and rollout records all use the distinct internal identity. Normal verified recovery and local package retention rules still apply.
+
+Servers running the original 0.0.7 cannot parse hotfix catalogs. Their release discovery service and independent update supervisor must first be bootstrapped from the chosen merged hotfix source using the existing trusted release-delivery installation procedure. Queue the first hotfix rollout through that updated coordinator; subsequent hotfixes use the normal Updates flow. Verify the deployed source commit and run `core/installations/scripts/verify-live-dsps run` as root from the matching clean checkout to exercise the full live DSP lifecycle.
+## Paycom workforce pages
+
+Connected DSPs can use two Paycom tabs. **Timecard** defaults to today's date in the DSP timezone, shows employee names and the selected day's punches/hours/status, and supports prior-date selection. Every column toggles ascending/descending sorting across the full result before pagination; names default to A–Z and empty times/hours remain at the bottom. Multiple punches remain visible in source order, with sorting based on the first punch. The page refreshes today's collected data every 30 seconds without triggering a Paycom collection.
+
+**Employees** searches the complete collected roster by name and opens an employee's profile and most recently collected period timecard inside that tab. Department, station, and position appear only in the employee detail. The original optional connection flow remains available to owners whose Paycom setup has not completed.
+
+`GET /api/paycom/daily`, `GET /api/paycom/employees`, and `GET /api/paycom/employees/:code` require `workforce.read` and resolve the runtime from the authenticated DSP context. Historical days are available only for collected periods; unavailable dates are never presented as empty employee timecards. Employee detail uses the SDK's bounded daily projection rather than raw collector records.
+
+Run the isolated workforce browser checks with `DISPATCH_PAYCOM_WORKFORCE_FIXTURE=1 DISPATCH_FRONTEND_PORT=4348 npm run test:ui -- tests/browser/paycom-workforce.spec.cjs`. The opt-in preview uses synthetic records through the real SDK and HTTP routes, including more than 100 employees to exercise sorting across pages.
+
+
+## Password recovery
+
+The sign-in form links to `/#/forgot-password`. Recovery reuses the configured
+Cloudflare email account and private API token described above; there are no new
+credentials or sender domains to configure. When delivery is not configured,
+recovery fails closed with the same unavailable response for every address.
+Turnstile, when enabled for the installation, also verifies the `forgot_password`
+action on requests. The new-password form does not load a third-party widget.
+
+- `POST /api/auth/forgot-password` accepts `{email, turnstileToken?}`. After
+  validation and address/global throttling, it returns HTTP 202 with the same
+  message for known, unknown, disabled, and email-throttled accounts. Account
+  lookup and sending happen only after the response is written. Provider delivery
+  failures do not change the response or disclose a reset link.
+- `POST /api/auth/reset-password` accepts `{token, newPassword, confirmPassword}`.
+  Reset tokens are 32 random bytes, stored only as SHA-256 hashes, valid for 30
+  minutes, and bound to the account's credential version and email. Within one
+  write transaction, a reset rechecks the token and account after scrypt hashing,
+  replaces the password, invalidates every reset token, revokes every session,
+  and records the completion audit event. It creates no login session.
+- Email links use the canonical HTTPS origin and a URL fragment. The reset form
+  removes the fragment token from browser history on mount and keeps it only in
+  memory. Reloading requires reopening the email link. GET requests and email
+  scanner visits never consume the token; only a successful reset POST does.
+- Passwords retain the existing 12–128 character policy and scrypt hashing.
+  A database trigger invalidates recovery links on credential-version, email,
+  or account-status updates, including private administrator recovery. Recovery
+  does not reactivate accounts, memberships, organizations, or change roles.
+- Limits persist in SQLite: 5 email requests per address per hour, at least 60
+  seconds apart; 20 requests per IP and 200 per installation per 15 minutes;
+  30 reset submissions per IP and 100 per installation per 15 minutes. IPs and
+  emails are hashed in the limiter table. Its 10,000-bucket bound fails closed
+  instead of evicting active limits. Forwarded IPs are trusted only through the
+  existing canonical public-origin/loopback Cloudflare boundary.
+- Email work is bounded to 16 in-flight/queued jobs and password hashing to two
+  recovery operations per process. The email worker keeps raw tokens only in
+  memory: a process restart can discard unsent mail, so users may need to request
+  a new link after the cooldown. Confirmation delivery is best effort and never
+  rolls back a completed password reset. Delivery outcomes are audited without
+  token, password, email body, or provider diagnostic logging.
+- Schema 14 adds recovery-token and throttle tables. Sanitized Core backups remove
+  both tables' contents, and managed restores never restore old reset tokens.
+
+Security regression tests cover token replay, concurrent resets across database
+connections, expiry/account changes during hashing, transaction rollback,
+restart-persistent throttling, malformed/cross-site requests, delivery failure,
+Turnstile action/replay checks, and browser recovery on desktop and mobile. The
+browser fixture captures synthetic messages through private child-process IPC;
+it does not expose an inbox endpoint or send real email.

+title: Collection Manager skill
+description: "Use when managing Dispatch collectors, plans, or runs."
+version: 1.0.0
+author: Dispatch
+platforms: [linux]
+status: current
+last_verified: 2026-09-02
+metadata:

+    tags: [dispatch, collectors, scheduling, queue, automation, operations]
+---
+
+# Collection Manager
+
+Use this skill whenever an agent needs to inspect, configure, schedule, run, pause, resume, retry, cancel, or troubleshoot a Dispatch collector.
+
+## Commands and boundary
+
+```bash
+DISPATCH=./bin/dispatch
+CTL=./runtime/collection-manager/bin/dispatch-collectionctl
+```
+
+Use `$DISPATCH` for supported application operations: standard collection preview/enqueue/batches/schedules, sync lifecycle, and system status. Use `$CTL` only for component-local registry administration, daemon/drain recovery, exact internal diagnostics, and declarative bootstrap. Never use component sync mutations for an authenticated source: they intentionally bypass the application-level Auth preflight.
+
+Every command returns one JSON object. Read `ok`, `status`, and `data`; do not infer success from prose. List commands, including `runs`, return `data.items`, `data.total`, `data.limit`, `data.offset`, and `data.hasMore`; continue with the next offset until `hasMore` is false. For `run-status`, the top-level `status` and `data.status` are the run lifecycle state.
+
+## Start safely
+
+Always begin with:
+
+```bash
+$DISPATCH status --json
+$CTL collectors
+$CTL sources
+$CTL plans
+```
+
+Before constructing input for a method, inspect its exact closed schema:
+
+```bash
+$CTL methods <collector-id>
+$CTL plan <plan-id>
+```
+
+Read method rows from `data.items`. Do not guess method names or fields.
+
+## Vocabulary
+
+- **Collector**: implementation package, such as `paycom`.
+- **Method**: one capability, such as `roster.full` or `timecards.period`.
+- **Source**: configured account/tenant using a collector. It references an Auth Broker profile by ID.
+- **Plan**: source + method + default input + schedule + dependencies.
+- **Run**: one durable execution. Retries remain attempts under that run.
+
+## Easy operations
+
+### Queue a plan with its default input
+
+```bash
+$CTL run <plan-id>
+```
+
+Capture `data.id` from the response. Inspect it with:
+
+```bash
+$CTL run-status <run-id>
+```
+
+### Queue a bounded input override
+
+Create a small JSON file containing only fields advertised by `$CTL methods <collector>` and run:
+
+```bash
+$CTL run <plan-id> /absolute/path/to/input.json
+```
+
+Plan input and override input are merged, then checked against the method's closed schema.
+
+### List recent runs
+
+```bash
+$CTL runs 50 0
+```
+
+### Pause or resume automation
+
+```bash
+$CTL pause <plan-id>
+$CTL resume <plan-id>
+```
+
+Pausing prevents new scheduled or manual runs. Runs already queued continue and must be cancelled separately if they should not execute. Pausing does not terminate a run already executing.
+
+### Cancel or retry
+
+```bash
+$CTL cancel <run-id>
+$CTL retry <run-id>
+```
+
+Cancel only queued/running runs. Retry only failed/cancelled runs. Never create repeated manual runs merely because a run is still queued or running.
+
+### Process work without the daemon
+
+First confirm `status.data.manager.running` is `false`, then:
+
+```bash
+$CTL drain 30000
+```
+
+Never call `drain` when the daemon is running. The manager lease will reject it. Interpret the result exactly:
+
+- `idle`: no queued or running work remains;
+- `deferred`: no work can run now, but `data.pending` lists retry-delayed or dependency-blocked work;
+- `drain_timeout`: the deadline was reached, active runs were cancelled, and `data.cancelledRunIds` identifies them.
+
+## Apply configuration
+
+The active configuration is stored in the manager database. Apply an absolute JSON specification path:
+
+```bash
+$CTL apply /absolute/path/to/collection-spec.json
+```
+
+`apply` is an **upsert**, not a prune. Omitted collectors, sources, and plans are not deleted. Inspect all lists after applying.
+
+A specification contains:
+
+1. `collectors` with absolute executable paths or the trusted leading `${DISPATCH_PROJECT_ROOT}/` token and method contracts;
+2. `sources` with non-secret config and optional `authProfile` identifiers;
+3. `plans` with schedules, default inputs, and dependencies.
+
+See `references/specification.md` before creating or changing a specification.
+
+## Run-state handling
+
+- `queued`: waiting for time, dependency freshness, or a lock.
+- `running`: collector subprocess is active.
+- `succeeded`: bounded receipt validated and stored.
+- `failed`: attempts exhausted, including a manager restart after the retry budget was exhausted.
+- `cancelled`: cancelled before completion.
+
+A queued run with `blocked: "dependency:<plan>"` needs a fresh successful dependency run. Do not bypass the dependency by invoking the collector directly.
+
+## Strict safety rules
+
+1. Never put passwords, PINs, tokens, cookies, authorization headers, or connection strings in a spec, source config, input file, skill, receipt, argv, or environment variable.
+2. Use only an `authProfile` identifier. The Auth Broker owns credentials and authenticated sessions.
+3. Never run a collector executable directly for scheduled or queued work; use a plan so the manager records locks, attempts, receipts, and freshness.
+4. Do not edit the SQLite database directly.
+5. Do not invent arbitrary commands, URLs, environment variables, or shell arguments. Collectors receive a fixed request on stdin.
+6. Use `pause`, not destructive configuration changes, to temporarily stop automation.
+7. For historical collection, use a method that explicitly advertises bounded date/window fields and inspect its schema first.
+8. Report collection readiness separately from data freshness and authentication readiness.
+9. Treat `status`, verification, and other queries as read-only. A missing database means `not_initialized`; do not initialize storage merely to inspect it.
+10. Resolve configured roots through the SDK/runtime configuration rather than assuming mutable state always lives under the source tree.
+
+## Managed sync operations
+
+Authenticated sync policy belongs to the application layer. Use:
+
+```bash
+$DISPATCH sync status <sync-id> --json
+$DISPATCH sync start <sync-id> --json
+$DISPATCH sync stop <sync-id> --json
+$DISPATCH sync restart <sync-id> --json
+$DISPATCH sync run <sync-id> --json
+```
+
+These commands start/validate the managed Auth Broker and require the configured profile/provider match before mutation. Component-local `start-sync`, `restart-sync`, `run-sync`, and authenticated `edit-sync --apply-now` are recovery/admin protocols, not the supported interface boundary.
+
+## Troubleshooting order
+
+```bash
+$CTL status
+$CTL run-status <run-id>
+$CTL runs 50 0
+$CTL methods <collector-id>
+$CTL plans
+```
+
+Interpret stable run errors instead of exposing collector stderr. Common conditions:
+
+- `dependency:<plan>`: dependency is absent or stale.
+- `collector_unavailable` / `unsafe_collector`: configured executable is missing or unsafe.
+- `collector_timeout`: method deadline expired.
+- `invalid_receipt`: collector violated the one-object receipt contract.
+- `collector_output_limit`: stdout or stderr exceeded its bound.
+- `manager_restarted`: execution was interrupted; the manager automatically requeues it when retry budget remains.
+- `input_not_found` / `input_unreadable`: the specification or input JSON path is missing or cannot be read safely.
+
+For component internals, read:

+`runtime/collection-manager/OVERVIEW.md`

+
+# Collection Specification Reference
+
+A specification is a strict JSON object with `schemaVersion`, `collectors`, `sources`, and `plans`. It contains no secrets.
+
+## Collector
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "paycom",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "description": "Paycom data collector",
+  "command": "/absolute/owner-controlled/path/dispatch-paycom-collector",
+  "sourceSchema": {
+    "type": "object",
+    "properties": {
+      "timezone": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 64 }
+    },
+    "required": ["timezone"],
+    "additionalProperties": false
+  },
+  "methods": {}
+}
+```
+
+The command must be an absolute canonical regular executable owned by the current user. Symlinks, extra hard links, group/other-writable files, and non-executable files are rejected.
+
+## Method
+
+```json
+{
+  "description": "Collect one bounded pay period",
+  "inputSchema": {
+    "type": "object",
+    "properties": {
+      "periodStart": {
+        "type": "string",
+        "maxLength": 10,
+        "pattern": "^\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}$"
+      },
+      "periodEnd": {
+        "type": "string",
+        "maxLength": 10,
+        "pattern": "^\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}$"
+      }
+    },
+    "required": ["periodStart", "periodEnd"],
+    "additionalProperties": false
+  },
+  "timeoutSeconds": 900,
+  "maxAttempts": 3,
+  "backoffSeconds": [60, 300],
+  "concurrencyKeys": [
+    "auth:{authProfile}",
+    "publish:paycom-timecards"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Supported primitive schema types are `string`, `integer`, `number`, and `boolean`. Rules may use `maxLength`, `minimum`, `maximum`, `enum`, and bounded `pattern`. Schemas are always closed with `additionalProperties: false`.
+
+Concurrency substitutions:
+
+- `{source}`
+- `{authProfile}`
+- `{collector}`
+- `{method}`
+
+The manager automatically adds `source:<source-id>`.
+
+## Source
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "paycom-main",
+  "collector": "paycom",
+  "authProfile": "paycom-main",
+  "config": {
+    "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles"
+  },
+  "enabled": true
+}
+```
+
+`authProfile` is an identifier, never credential material. Use `null` for an unauthenticated source.
+
+## Plan
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "paycom-current-timecards",
+  "source": "paycom-main",
+  "method": "timecards.period",
+  "schedule": {
+    "type": "cron",
+    "expression": "50 15 * * *",
+    "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles"
+  },
+  "input": {
+    "periodStart": "2026-08-23",
+    "periodEnd": "2026-09-05"
+  },
+  "dependsOn": [
+    {
+      "plan": "paycom-main-roster",
+      "maxAgeSeconds": 86400
+    }
+  ],
+  "enabled": true,
+  "timeoutSeconds": 900,
+  "maxAttempts": 3
+}
+```
+
+`timeoutSeconds` and `maxAttempts` are optional plan overrides. Omit them to inherit the method defaults.
+
+Schedule forms:
+
+```json
+{"type":"manual"}
+{"type":"interval","seconds":900}
+{"type":"cron","expression":"50 15 * * *","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles"}
+```
+
+Cron fields are minute, hour, day-of-month, month, and day-of-week. Wildcards, lists, ranges, and steps are supported. When both day-of-month and day-of-week are restricted, standard cron OR behavior is used.
+
+## Apply semantics
+
+`dispatch-collectionctl apply` validates the complete supplied object in one SQLite transaction. Definitions are upserted. Omitted definitions remain present; `apply` does not prune.
+
+After applying, verify:
+
+```bash
+$CTL collectors
+$CTL methods <collector>
+$CTL sources
+$CTL plans
+$CTL status
+```

+
+Core authorization and the host controller compose the dashboard service. A
+separately supervised Core backend coordinates installed plugin workers and
+browser/authentication workers. Each active DSP has its own isolated supervisor
+using the shared framework, plus actual DSP-local copies of its installed plugin
+versions. Plugin code executes in disposable namespaces with scoped SDK sockets
+and storage. No per-DSP Linux accounts are created. See the
+[installed runtime and migration guide](plugin-runtime.md).
+
+## Private DSP storage
+
+```text
+dsps/<dsp-id>/
+  plugins/<plugin>/versions/<version>/   installed executable package and SDK
+  config/
+    dsp.json
+    installation.json       when provisioned by Core
+    storage-layout.json     version 2
+  data/
+    db/
+      paycom/paycom.sqlite3
+      <feature>/<database>  a feature can own multiple databases
+    files/<feature>/        retained downloads, exports and original files

+    auth-broker/browser-sessions/
+    collection-manager/
+    plugins/paycom/
+  staging/plugins/<feature>/
+  run/ logs/ backups/ browser/
+```
+
+Only features that use storage need their own data directories. Meal-break
+collection can use `data/db/meal-breaks/meal-breaks.sqlite3` and
+`data/files/meal-breaks/` without sharing Paycom's database. `featurePaths` in
+`shared/paths/feature-paths.js` calculates database, files, state and staging roots.
+It accepts the runtime's trusted roots and validates the feature identifier.
+
+The auth broker and collection manager keep their service databases separate
+from collected business data. Keys and browser sessions never belong in a plugin
+source directory. Disabling/uninstalling a plugin gates access and scheduled work;
+it does not delete retained data or replace credential verification guards.
+
+Hidden `.control`, `.service-root`, `.code-view`, `.storage-view`, and volume files
+are host-managed infrastructure. Some visible directories are mounted views into
+a bounded volume. Move feature subdirectories offline; do not move mounted DSP
+roots or volume files as a cosmetic cleanup.
+
+## Platform and development storage
+
+`local/config` holds private platform configuration, `local/secrets` holds
+operator verification credentials, `local/state` holds durable platform state,
+and `local/tools` holds managed binaries. Operational helpers/receipts go in
+`local/operations`; retained history goes in `local/archive`. Logs, browser
+profiles, cache, temporary files, run sockets and manual backups remain private.
+
+`dev/source/dispatch-core` and `dev/source/dispatch-dsp` are the editable trees. `dev/build` contains build output and receipts;
+`dev/work` contains current task notes. Historical development material is archived
+separately. `worktrees` is reserved for a future Git workflow.
+
+## Expansion and capacity
+
+New plugins live under `dispatch-dsp/plugins/<id>`. The platform discovers trusted manifests,
+checks contribution collisions, stores per-DSP desired installation revisions,
+and reconciles them with the runtime. HTTP actions retain DSP authorization,
+signed support-view scope, CSRF protection and audit attribution. See
+the plugin documentation in the DSP project.
+
+Directory runtimes use shared collector capacity leases for every managed
+collector. Worker requests default to one and can request up to six through source
+configuration; the host grants only available capacity. Per-DSP FIFO queue
+positions prevent one DSP filling the queue. Leases expire after disconnects and
+startup recovery reserves a cooldown for old work to terminate. The default
+worker budget is conservative and derived from CPU/RAM. Agent connection limits
+default to 256 and are constructor-configurable. These limits are resource
+controls, not throughput measurements.
+
+Runtime recovery uses two concurrent operations and records individual failures.
+The dashboard can listen while recovery proceeds; its provisioning worker starts
+after that recovery pass. Lifecycle, plugin, diagnostics and onboarding
+reconciliation settle independently. Host mutations still use the durable journal
+and operation lock; conflicting host changes remain serialized.
+
+The current directory backend is **single-host** and uses Unix sockets and local
+volumes. Separate host/controller and transport boundaries make a future host
+placement service possible, but remote hosts, distributed storage and an actual
+100-DSP capacity result are not implemented claims. Expansion still requires
+sufficient CPU, RAM, disk and provider capacity. Framework checks create no DSPs.
+
+## Independent activation
+
+Core and DSP development artifacts contain separate code trees, dependency copies,
+content hashes and protocol compatibility declarations. DSP plugin packages are
+sealed separately. The runtime selector reads a private receipt for each DSP and
+mounts that DSP's installed runtime. The SDK copy belongs to the selected artifact.
+
+Staging a release or plugin package does not select it for any DSP. Per-DSP package
+approval is explicit. The local coordinator persists Dev verification, resets it
+when a new candidate arrives, pins an active rollout and advances one DSP at a time.
+A failed activation restores through the supplied lifecycle hook and pauses the
+rollout. Publishing and host activation remain separate owner-controlled operations.
+See the repository RELEASES.md for the workflow and remaining deployment work.

+# Building a Dispatch plugin
+
+The developer writes plugin behavior and declarations. Dispatch supplies HTTP
+routing, authorization, settings, worker storage, shared UI and packaging.
+
+From the editable source root:
+
+```sh
+bin/dispatch create plugin example-workspace
+bin/dispatch plugin generate example-workspace
+bin/dispatch plugin check example-workspace
+bin/dispatch plugin dev example-workspace
+```
+
+The generator refuses to overwrite an existing directory. It creates:
+
+```text
+plugins/example-workspace/
+  dispatch-plugin.json       Pages, operations, permissions and settings
+  backend/index.js           Business handlers and database initialization
+  frontend/index.tsx         Page using shared SDK controls
+  generated/client.js        Validated operation client
+  generated/client.d.ts      Typed inputs and results
+  generated/openapi.json     HTTP operation documentation
+  README.md
+```
+
+The starter implements paginated entries and an Allow new entries setting. Its
+SQLite database belongs to the invoking DSP. Submissions use an idempotency key;
+repeating a request returns the same record, and reusing its key for different
+content is rejected. The SDK UI supplies the authenticated request transport and
+the shared settings form. The page resets its draft when DSP authority changes.
+
+The initial template uses the existing `dashboard.view` read permission and
+`organization.settings.manage` mutation permission. Select appropriate existing
+permissions when adapting it. It does not automatically grant newly invented
+permission names or change platform roles.
+
+The example at `sdk/examples/example-notes/` is an executable reference and is
+excluded from the production plugin catalog. Use its path instead of a plugin ID
+with `plugin dev`, `plugin check` or `plugin generate` to try it directly.
+
+## Development workspace
+
+`plugin dev` builds the same sealed package format used for installation, creates
+a fresh workspace under `dev/build/`, and starts an API plus a separate dashboard
+process. It prints the local URL and two synthetic DSP owner accounts. Each DSP
+has separate settings/history and SQLite files. Original application source,
+live accounts, provider credentials and production services are not used.
+
+The runner uses the actual account, authorization, settings and generic operation
+HTTP implementations. Business handlers use the packaged SDK and local storage.
+Connections are disconnected fixtures, and browser automation/collection jobs
+are not started. Use `dispatch-sdk/testing` for additional fake service responses
+and native acceptance tests for production worker isolation. This runner executes
+trusted development code and is not a security sandbox for untrusted plugins.
+
+Restart `plugin dev` after changing code; each invocation creates a fresh workspace
+and rebuilds the package. Existing workspaces remain available for inspection.
+Stop the command with Ctrl-C to stop its API and dashboard. The check command
+validates generated contracts and builds a sealed package without starting it.
+
+## Packaging and delivery
+
+The manifest's `package` section declares the installed runtime, optional login
+adapter and optional collection specification. A plugin without authentication
+or collection work can leave those two entries null. The builder embeds an
+independent SDK copy and rejects imports outside the plugin/approved SDK boundary.
+
+Keep lengthy operations in the existing durable jobs and DSP worker framework.
+Local storage stays local through the SDK. Credentials stay in the DSP vault and
+plugins request authenticated sessions through Core's broker.
+
+Production delivery still uses the approved package catalog and installation
+lifecycle. Every installed DSP receives the approved latest version automatically;
+settings/data migrations and rollback snapshots preserve that DSP's state. The
+development runner does not publish packages or change the fleet's versions.

+# Installed plugin runtime
+
+The supported directory runtime uses one supervised Core control service,
+DSP-owned installed packages, and disposable workers. The dashboard starts or
+reconnects the service through `host/services/plugin-backend.js`. The service
+lives in `core/auth-broker/server.js`; browser admission lives in
+`core/browser-manager/`, plugin authority and SDK handlers in `core/plugins/`,
+and namespace/service/storage operations in `host/`.

+
+Package bytes use separate DSP files and read-only worker mounts. Plugins are
+included in version-two DSP quota volumes and offline backups. Credentials and
+business data never live inside an executable package.
+
+## Runtime contracts
+
+The public `sdk/` package has no platform source dependency. Its Node client
+provides scoped connections, jobs, schedules, actions, published reads, storage,
+capabilities and structured progress/log events. Backend entrypoints receive
+`dispatch`; they do not supply their DSP identity. The transport checks current
+Core permissions, acknowledged version/revision, manifest declarations and
+connection grants before and after operations. Worker results are also checked
+against current installation authority before being returned.
+
+`dispatch-sdk/runtime` is the trusted DSP framework's bridge. It has auth
+administration and plugin execution operations, but ordinary plugin namespaces
+do not mount its socket. Legacy `runtime/sdk/` clients adapt to this bridge in
+the directory runtime. Existing native/artifact compatibility consumers retain
+their old paths until their separate deployment migration.
+
+Collectors use the existing collection queue, dependency graph, retries,
+receipts and schedules. No second collection queue is introduced. Long collection
+calls retain their existing deadlines up to one hour. Core admits at most eight
+ordinary workers, two per DSP, with a bounded queue; writes serialize per plugin.
+Nested SDK actions use only spare capacity and fail retryably if no slot exists.
+Published reads run in workers with only the plugin's read-only published data,
+without waking the DSP supervisor or exposing its source business database.
+Paycom rebuilds retained publications into this read model before acknowledging
+migration. Published SQLite files support fully read-only mounts without writable
+WAL sidecars.
+
+The browser manager admits two auth workers globally, one per DSP, reserving six
+page tabs each. Native Chrome stays in a separate DSP auth namespace. Plugin
+collection requests receive at most five concurrent tabs so the authenticated
+handoff page fits inside that six-page reservation. Collection admission goes
+directly to Core; installed workers do not wait on the legacy capacity socket.
+Plugin browser access uses a private job relay. Cancellation, disable and lease loss
+close relays and reap workers; capacity is released only after cgroup shutdown.
+Core restart reaps durable orphan identities before accepting new work. Each
+ordinary worker is capped at one CPU, 512 MiB and 64 tasks; each auth worker at
+one CPU, 2 GiB and 512 tasks. These are resource limits, not measured fleet capacity.
+
+## Package delivery and automatic updates
+
+Build from a verified source checkout, choosing a new immutable plugin version
+for changed release bytes:
+
+```sh
+node tooling/build-installed-plugin.mjs paycom /private/build/paycom-package
+node tooling/distribute-plugin-package.js /private/platform/config/platform.json /private/build/paycom-package REVIEWED_SHA256
+```
+
+The first command returns the digest. The second takes the reviewed digest as an
+explicit argument, verifies inventory, copies into private distribution storage
+and updates the catalog atomically. A different digest for an already catalogued
+version is rejected. Old packages remain available for recovery. Core selects the
+highest approved numeric package version and automatically reconciles every
+installed DSP copy. Owners select Install, Enable, Disable or Uninstall; they do
+not choose versions or click Update. Uninstalled plugins stay uninstalled.
+Disabled plugins receive updated code while remaining disabled. Suspended or
+busy DSPs catch up when their lifecycle permits reconciliation; publishing a
+package does not start or unsuspend a DSP.
+
+Install/upgrade drains plugin workers and the supervisor while preserving auth
+storage. A state snapshot precedes the isolated initializer. Core acknowledges
+only after package readiness, receipt, connection grants and collection state
+agree. Initializer failure restores that snapshot before releasing the fence;
+acknowledgement failure resumes its journal. Existing Core enrollment with no
+installed receipt is assigned a new migration revision and reconciled from its
+approved version, then catches up to the latest package. Explicit uninstalls remain uninstalled. Missing or
+changed distribution bytes fail closed and remain retryable.
+
+Selecting an update advances Core's desired revision and fences further plugin
+execution until acknowledgment. Reconciliation retries failed copies and processes
+bounded batches. Already-running jobs are drained before replacement. This is
+automatic eventual delivery, not an instantaneous fleet-wide switch. Core does
+not expose a DSP pinning or rollback-version control.
+
+Settings initialization and schema migration run inside the same fenced install
+sequence. The pre-initialization snapshot includes the DSP settings directory.
+Settings use the SDK's reusable declaration, store and owner API; Core contains
+no Paycom field names. Paycom reads department selections from its job's bound
+settings snapshot and filters published Timecards before pagination and summary
+calculation. The employee directory and complete collected roster remain intact.
+An empty selection shows no Timecards; the initial null selection preserves
+existing coverage. Display preferences do not authorize or restrict access to
+individual employee records.
+
+## Development acceptance and production cutover
+
+Use disposable synthetic platforms for acceptance. The architecture tests cover
+real systemd namespaces, native Chrome through the SDK, separate DSP code copies,
+quota-volume migration, the actual supervised daemon, the default DSP supervisor,
+controller and daemon restart, cancellation, owner Install and code/data restore.
+They require explicitly selected test Node/tini and sealed browser bundles;
+`plugin-volume.acceptance.js` additionally requires `DISPATCH_VOLUME_TEST=1`.
+They do not touch existing deployments or sign in to real provider accounts.
+
+A production cutover is a separate operator action:
+
+1. Verify the source build, package digest, SDK package, targeted Node tests,
+   browser tests and synthetic daemon/worker acceptance. Retain the previous
+   release source and dependency bundles. Review any independently reproduced
+   repository baseline failures before release approval.
+2. Suspend the selected DSPs through the existing owner lifecycle, confirm their
+   service cgroups are stopped, and stop the dashboard/controller. Retain a
+   verified offline platform backup with the currently deployed backup command.
+   Preserve its backup implementation alongside that release. Never copy live
+   SQLite files or browser profiles while their owners are running.
+3. Stop the Core plugin backend as well when upgrading an existing new-model
+   installation. Its service name is `dispatch-backend-<first 24 hex characters
+   of SHA256(platformRoot)>.service`. Confirm its worker cgroups are gone before
+   replacing source or browser/Node dependencies. A controller restart alone does
+   not replace an already running Core daemon.
+4. Install the verified release using the deployment's source replacement step;
+   deliver every retained plugin version needed for recovery, then the
+   new reviewed package. Keep old executable versions and all DSP state. The
+   stopped version-one quota-volume migration adds the plugin bind without
+   replacing existing data; nonempty unmounted plugin directories are rejected
+   for explicit operator reconciliation.
+5. Start the dashboard/controller with the same private platform configuration.
+   Resume one suspended DSP through owner lifecycle. Verify its Core plugin
+   revision is acknowledged, installed digest matches the approved version,
+   retained publications load, owner/support Connections work, and browser/job
+   cleanup completes. Verify provider login and a collection with that DSP's
+   owner during the controlled production check. Continue with remaining DSPs
+   only after that check succeeds.
+
+## Backup and rollback
+
+`dispatch-local-backup --help` describes the existing owner-authenticated offline
+backup/restore CLI. Credentials are provided through standard input, never in
+command arguments. Suspend affected DSPs and stop the dashboard first. The backup
+command asks the Core backend to revoke DSP work and confirms stopped service
+PIDs before taking snapshots. If a configured backend is unreachable, backup fails
+closed rather than assuming its workers have stopped.
+
+Version-two backups include actual plugin packages and their Core version/state
+metadata. A single-DSP restore keeps siblings untouched, restores its code and
+private state, then rebases package receipts, grants, collection state and Core
+registry to a fresh monotonic revision. Its restore marker retains that revision
+plan so interruption resumes the same operation. Full-platform restore restores
+the matching Core database. Restores invalidate existing sessions through the
+existing platform backup machinery.
+
+A legacy version-one single-DSP backup has no plugin version metadata. When Core
+has plugin rows, restore rejects it with
+`directory_backup_plugin_migration_required`; restore it with the retained prior
+release before migrating forward. Do not guess the old plugin version from a
+newer Core row. A full source rollback similarly uses the previous release and
+its matching verified platform backup while every affected worker is stopped.
+Do not downgrade only the code over migrated databases.
+
+Per-install snapshots are automatic recovery for a failed initializer while the
+DSP remains fenced. They include the collection database and are not a general
+later rollback command: restoring them after other plugin activity would rewind
+unrelated queue state. Use the owner offline backup/restore flow for a later
+rollback. Uninstall retains code versions and data; deleting a connection or DSP
+is a separate explicitly authorized operation.

+# Browser assistance
+
+Paycom contributes CAPTCHA detection and verification after assistance. The DSP
+auth broker retains exclusive ownership of the existing browser; the host runs
+a fresh CAPTCHA-only Hermes conversation, then disconnects. The broker verifies
+actual authenticated application access before granting a collector lease.
+An agent's response text is never accepted as proof of authentication.
+
+Verification starts on the original challenge page. If completing the CAPTCHA
+leaves Continue pending, Paycom may click it once only when the document, numbered
+fields, and retained PIN fingerprint match the pre-assistance state. It never
+retypes PINs or submits a replacement/reloaded form. Application navigation waits
+until that original-page check completes.
+
+The directory controller creates `browser-assist.sock` in each DSP's private
+control socket mount. Requests identify a temporary socket name and browser path,
+never a DSP ID, filesystem root, model, command, or host URL. The controller-owned
+socket binding supplies DSP identity. The host's temporary loopback WebSocket
+requires an unguessable job capability. Completion, disconnect, cancellation, and
+shutdown revoke established browser connections.
+
+Configure the host in `local/config/browser-assistance.json` (mode 0600). Missing
+configuration, or `enabled: false`, leaves assistance unavailable. Enabled version
+1 accepts exactly `enabled`, `version`, `profileDirectory`, `hermesDirectory`,
+`pythonExecutable`, `agentBrowserDirectory`, `concurrency`, and `maximum`. All
+paths are private host paths outside source. The browser directory contains the
+managed `agent-browser` executable; Python belongs to the installed Hermes
+environment. The profile directory is under a standard Hermes `profiles/` root.
+No machine paths or model credentials are bundled into the plugin.
+
+Each job creates a disposable sibling profile with a fresh conversation ID and
+no copied history or memory. This preserves Hermes's supported global model-auth
+fallback. Only browser tools are exposed, with password-vault tools excluded.
+Full browser controls serve the sole assigned task of completing the CAPTCHA.
+The broker enters and scrubs provider credentials before assistance; credentials
+never enter the agent prompt. The saved Hermes profile is not edited. Host model
+credentials and temporary profiles are never mounted into DSP runtimes.
+
+Normal and forced termination remove the disposable profile, private temporary
+directory, and detached browser helpers. Startup reaps abandoned profiles using
+recorded process identity. Sanitized last-attempt phase/timing goes in the DSP's
+`state/plugins/paycom/browser-assistance.json`; no screenshots, agent text,
+cookies, PINs, or tool arguments enter that receipt. Vaults stay in the DSP's
+`data/auth-broker/`, keys in `secrets/auth-broker/`, and collected databases in
+`data/db/paycom/`, outside `live/`. Build checks reject private state artifacts.
+
+Defaults are one solver and four retained requests, with one FIFO position per
+DSP, a 30-second queue deadline, and 200 seconds for solving. Existing collector
+deadlines remain absolute. Cleanup retains the queue slot until helper shutdown.
+Plugin disable, credential changes, runtime shutdown, and client cancellation
+abort assistance. Failure preserves verification guards and returns verification
+required without another credential submission. Enabling assistance never clears
+an existing manual guard.
+
+This handles CAPTCHA during authentication/application handoff. Mid-collection
+CAPTCHA recovery for an already leased browser is not implemented. Queue limits
+are resource controls, not measured 100-DSP capacity or universal CAPTCHA coverage.
+Framework tests use local sockets and intercepted pages without provisioning DSPs.
+Acceptance also checks the real DSP namespace transport, continuation, and cleanup.

+# Installed plugin packages
+
+DSP releases contain the runtime, catalog metadata and separate sealed plugin
+packages. Core retains the complete verified release and plugin cache. Preparing
+a DSP copies only the runtime and metadata into its runtime release directory;
+optional plugin backends, frontends and dependencies are not copied there.
+New DSPs expose the built-in Cortex connection and start with no optional plugins
+installed. Catalog metadata does not enable a plugin or create its credentials.
+
+`install.js` verifies approved package digests and copies actual files into each
+DSP's `plugins/<id>/versions/<version>/` directory. It rejects links, unexpected
+files, path traversal, incompatible SDK versions and mutated version contents.
+Activation writes an atomic host receipt under `config/plugins/<id>.json`.
+
+`lifecycle.js` persists staged, initialized, activated and applied phases under
+`config/plugins/operations/<id>/<revision>.json`. It runs through an injected DSP
+lifecycle lock, drain hook and idempotent scoped initialization/migration worker.
+Only readiness permits activation, and only matching runtime acknowledgement
+permits Core acknowledgement. Interrupted acknowledgement resumes without
+repeating completed initialization. Initialization must itself use the supplied
+operation id to recover a crash before its completion receipt is written.
+
+The DSP's selected release approves the exact plugin versions available to it.
+Update Dev and sequential rollout update only that DSP's installed plugins,
+including disabled installations, while preserving their enabled/disabled state.
+Plugins not installed remain absent; a later Install uses that DSP release's
+approved version. An explicit per-DSP catalog never inherits additional plugins
+from the legacy global catalog, even when the per-DSP catalog is empty.
+
+Disable and uninstall drain work and change activation state. They retain
+credentials, data, profiles and package bytes needed for recovery. Reclaiming old
+versions and code/state rollback remain separate migration tasks.
+
+`sdk-socket.js` serves a bounded private Unix socket with an immutable host-bound
+SDK context and cancellation on disconnect. The worker mount plan is in
+`host/services/plugin-worker-layout.js`. The directory lifecycle integrates scoped worker launch, provisioning and
+backup snapshots. The directory API owns reconciliation; the split dashboard
+process owns only static delivery and HTTP forwarding.
+
+The package sealer is `tooling/build-plugin-package.js`. Its input must already
+contain compiled, self-contained entrypoints and dependency files. It does not
+compile a source plugin or run package scripts.

+# Dispatch SDK
+
+`dispatch-sdk` is the plugin client library. It has no dependency on Core,
+runtime source, or any provider package. The host injects a transport already
+bound to the plugin's authenticated DSP/job context. Services enforce that scope
+independently of the SDK. No password, vault key, or arbitrary DSP path is part
+of the plugin client API.
+
+```js
+const { createDispatchClient } = require('dispatch-sdk');
+const dispatch = createDispatchClient({ transport: authorizedPluginTransport });
+await dispatch.connections.withSession({ connection: 'paycom' }, async session => {
+  await collectWithBrowser(session);
+});
+```
+
+The callback receives sensitive authenticated browser access and a cancellation
+signal. Honor the signal and never log browser endpoints or authentication state.
+Leases renew during use and release on success or failure. Server-side expiry
+and worker termination remain necessary if a process crashes or ignores aborts.
+
+The Node client exposes settings, connections, jobs, schedules, actions, published reads,
+progress, logs and capability negotiation. An isolated host may inject local
+storage handles. The `dispatch-sdk/browser` client exposes dashboard action and
+status and owner settings requests; the shell supplies its authenticated HTTP/CSRF transport.
+`dispatch-sdk/testing` provides fake transports for offline tests.
+
+`dispatch-sdk/node` provides the private Unix transport. `dispatch-sdk/node/cdp`
+contains the existing browser protocol client for navigation/extraction, including
+the private Chromium pipe transport. Browser creation and the pipe server remain
+owned by authentication workers. The old runtime CDP imports forward to this
+client, and Paycom's browser implementation now imports the SDK client directly.
+
+API version mismatches fail explicitly. Transport errors are bounded; operations
+are never automatically replayed. Mutations that support retries require an
+idempotency key. A client method does not imply a grant: unsupported or denied
+operations are rejected by the service.
+
+`dispatch-sdk/runtime` is the trusted DSP framework bridge to Core plugin and
+auth services. Its socket is absent from ordinary plugin namespaces. Existing
+`runtime/sdk` clients retain response compatibility and route through that bridge
+when the directory supervisor sets `DISPATCH_PLUGIN_BACKEND=core_v1`.
+
+Worker entrypoints receive an injected client, or can use
+`createWorkerClient()` from `dispatch-sdk/node` at the fixed namespace paths.
+`storage.database(name)` opens a plugin-owned SQLite database;
+`storage.files(collection)` provides bounded atomic file writes and reads.
+`storage.directory(kind)` exposes only the plugin's mounted database, files,
+state, staging or published directory. None of these methods accepts a DSP ID.
+
+`schedules.status(id)` returns the existing sync status and Core business timezone;
+`schedules.run(id, options)` uses the existing durable collection scheduler.
+`jobs.enqueue` accepts a declared plan ID and an idempotency key. Cancel/retry and
+schedule mutations preserve idempotency receipts in the DSP's collection database.
+Progress accepts structured phase/count fields; logs accept safe codes and counts,
+without raw free-text provider messages.
+
+The frontend uses `dispatch-sdk/ui` for the shell's authenticated request helpers,
+session, timezone and UI components. The installed bundle registers with the
+shell's versioned host. This interface preserves owner/support-view scope and
+CSRF protection; it is not a JavaScript security sandbox.
+
+Build the SDK with `npm pack` in this directory. The installed-plugin builder
+embeds an independent SDK copy in each package; no published npm service or
+shared executable plugin directory is required. See
+[package delivery and migration](../docs/plugin-runtime.md).
+
+## Plugin settings
+
+Declare `settings` in `dispatch-plugin.json`. Core validates the definition and
+stores values in the installing DSP's `config/plugins/<plugin>/settings.sqlite3`.
+Package updates preserve this database; credentials remain in the DSP vault.
+Settings are ordinary configuration, never a credential or browser-state store.
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": 1,
+  "sections": [{ "id": "display", "label": "Display" }],
+  "fields": [{
+    "id": "included_groups", "section": "display", "label": "Included groups",
+    "type": "strings", "nullable": true, "default": null,
+    "optionsSource": "groups"
+  }],
+  "optionsView": "settings-options"
+}
+```
+
+The optional `optionsView` is a plugin published-read entrypoint. It returns an
+object such as `{groups: [{value: "drivers", label: "Drivers", count: 12}]}`.
+Stable IDs are saved; changing a label does not change the selection. An empty
+array stays empty. A nullable field can use `null` for all current and future
+options; the plugin defines that meaning when it consumes the value.
+
+Supported field types are `boolean`, bounded `integer`, `string`, and `strings`.
+Fields can declare static options, dynamic options, descriptions and ordered
+string selections. Unknown fields, duplicate selections and invalid values fail
+validation. Dynamic choices are suggestions from published data: absent saved
+IDs are retained, so a temporarily missing group cannot silently change a DSP's
+configuration.
+
+Backend workers use `const {values} = await dispatch.settings.get()`. Each worker
+receives the settings snapshot captured when that job starts. A save affects new
+work; it does not mutate the inputs of a running worker. Ordinary plugin clients
+cannot change owner settings or select another DSP.
+
+Frontend plugins import `usePluginSettings`, `PluginSettingsField`, or
+`PluginSettingsForm` from `dispatch-sdk/ui`. The form renders declared sections
+and fields and provides save, discard, defaults, conflict handling and dynamic
+options. `renderSection` adds plugin-specific previews or status components.
+Handle `?settings` on the plugin's primary page to support the Plugins page link:
+
+```tsx
+<PluginSettingsForm pluginId="example" title="Example settings"
+  backHref="#/example" />
+```
+
+The hook scopes its cache to the authenticated user, DSP and signed support view.
+The Core owner API authenticates each request, verifies CSRF and checks the
+current DSP installation. Platform owners in signed DSP views have owner access;
+history attributes writes to the actual user. Saves contain complete `values`,
+`expectedRevision`, `definitionVersion` and an `idempotencyKey`. Concurrent stale
+saves return a conflict. Defaults are a draft until saved.
+
+An optional `schedule: {id, enabled, interval}` binds one declared sync to boolean
+and bounded integer settings fields. Core applies it to that DSP's existing
+collection scheduler with durable retry. Pausing cancels queued automatic ticks,
+allows the current collection to finish, and preserves explicit manual requests.
+`Sync now` still respects queue admission, coalescing and retry backoff.
+
+Increment the definition's `version` when changing its fields or constraints.
+New fields receive defaults during initialization; saved overrides are retained.
+Declarative `migrations: [{fromVersion: 1, rename: {old_name: "new_name"},
+remove: ["obsolete"]}]` apply one version at a time. Removed fields must be
+declared. Incompatible values fail initialization and restore the fenced
+snapshot; they are never silently discarded. A code downgrade requires a
+matching state backup. The package version is separate and must increase for
+every published change. Core automatically distributes the latest approved
+package to installed DSPs; there are no DSP version pins or owner Update buttons.
+
+## Settings intent, behavior and history
+
+Settings snapshots include `sources`, a map from field ID to `default` or
+`override`. Owner forms send the complete map with their save. `default` means
+that the value follows the plugin's declared default on a versioned update;
+`override` preserves an intentional DSP choice, even if it equals the default.
+A default-sourced value must equal its declared default. Existing databases with
+unknown provenance are conservatively adopted as overrides. Legacy clients that
+omit sources preserve unchanged intent and mark changed values as overrides.
+Explicit seeds preserve existing operational configuration as overrides.
+
+The form exposes Use plugin default and Keep this value for each field, plus
+section and whole-form default restoration. Restores create a draft and require
+Save changes. Switching the authenticated DSP view discards the old editor's
+draft. Fields may declare `enabledWhen` or `visibleWhen` as
+`{field: "automatic_sync", equals: true}`. Disabled and hidden controls retain
+values; these presentation rules do not grant or restrict data access. Use
+`disabledReason` to explain a dependency.
+
+`rules` declare cross-field warnings or validation errors. An `included` rule
+references a string `field` and a strings `selection`; null means unrestricted.
+A `requires` rule optionally activates under `when` and checks a `require`
+condition. Each rule has an ID, severity (`warning` or `error`) and message.
+Errors are enforced by server-side validation, including direct API saves.
+
+`previews` are plugin declarations rendered by the shared form: `choice` supplies
+value/text examples, `columns` shows ordered option labels and an optional leading
+column, and `selection_count` combines a selected dynamic-options field with its
+DSP-local counts, unit and group label. Plugins can still add provider-specific
+components through renderSection. `applies` on a field describes `immediate`,
+`next_job`, `next_connection` or `schedule` behavior. The form reports the timing
+of changed values after saving. This metadata describes the plugin's consumption
+contract; it does not mutate an active job's settings snapshot.
+
+Migrations now support `copy: {old: ["new_a", "new_b"]}`,
+`mapValues: {field: [{from: "old", to: "new"}]}`, `scale: {field: 60}` and
+`reset: ["field"]`, alongside rename/remove. Within a step the order is rename,
+copy, mapValues, scale, remove, reset. Copy/map/scale preserve source intent;
+reset deliberately follows the new default. Unmatched map values are retained
+and must validate against the final definition. Whole-value mappings take
+precedence over mapping individual array members. Unknown leftover fields,
+collisions and invalid final values fail the fenced installation migration.
+Never use reset merely to change defaults for DSPs already following defaults.
+
+The owner-only GET `/api/organization/plugins/<id>/settings/history` returns
+bounded, newest-first entries with actor attribution, changes and restoration
+snapshots. `?before=<revision>` requests older entries. The browser SDK exposes
+`settings.history(beforeRevision)` for an owner-authorized host transport;
+ordinary worker and DSP-framework clients cannot read history. The form restores
+individual fields or sections from compatible entries into a draft. Entries from
+an older definition remain visible but require a migration before their values
+can be restored. Values, intent, history and retry receipts remain in the DSP's
+settings database and its normal backups. History arrays are abbreviated in
+change summaries; restoration snapshots retain their full validated values.
+
+## Operation contracts and plugin development
+
+Declare an action's `input` and optional `output` JSON Schema in the plugin
+manifest. `dispatch-sdk/operations` supplies validation and `createOperationClient`;
+`dispatch-sdk/plugin` supplies `definePlugin` for data-returning worker handlers.
+The HTTP API and worker host independently enforce those declarations. A declared
+permission is still subject to current DSP membership and installation authority.
+
+`bin/dispatch plugin generate <id>` creates typed clients and OpenAPI descriptions.
+Generated clients accept an invocation function, so they work with a worker's
+`dispatch.actions.invoke` or the dashboard's `invokePluginOperation` from
+`dispatch-sdk/ui`. The SDK remains the client library; `core/api/` is the separate
+HTTP service. It does not replace local SDK storage or private worker transports.
+
+See [plugin development](../docs/plugin-development.md) for the generator, sealed
+package build, two-DSP local workspace and executable example. The first contract
+pass preserves legacy operations without output schemas; new starters declare
+both inputs and outputs. No generated client or schema grants authority.

+# Example Notes
+
+Edit the manifest to declare settings, operations and permissions. Edit backend/index.js for business logic and frontend/index.tsx for the page.
+
+From the platform source root:
+
+- `bin/dispatch plugin generate example-notes`: regenerate clients and OpenAPI after changing the manifest.
+- `bin/dispatch plugin dev example-notes`: build and start a separate synthetic workspace with two DSP owners.
+- `bin/dispatch plugin check example-notes`: verify contracts and the installable package.
+
+The starter uses existing dashboard.view and organization.settings.manage grants; choose the existing permission appropriate to each operation. This example does not define new platform roles.
+
+The development runner uses synthetic accounts and DSP-local SQLite files. It is for trusted local development, not a security sandbox. Real DSP installation still goes through the approved package catalog and isolated worker lifecycle.

+# Compatibility code
+
+The active local backend is `directory_service_v1`, implemented under `host/`.
+
+`provisioner/` contains explicit older CLI compositions; they can load Core and
+DSP code together and are excluded from runtime production artifacts. `paycom/`
+contains thin executable aliases for retained artifact consumers. Current
+collector registrations use `plugins/paycom/backend/bin/` after storage migration.
+`cdf/` preserves the inactive historical implementation and its tests; Cortex's
+current product scope remains sign-in and owner-entered email verification.
+
+Do not activate older native/OCI provisioning commands to test the directory
+backend. Before removing compatibility code, inspect imports, executable records,
+artifact allowlists and backup/recovery consumers.

+title: CDF collector
+status: current
+last_verified: 2026-09-02
+---
+
+# CDF collector
+
+`compatibility/providers/cdf` is an independent, artifact-first Customer Delivery Feedback collector. Version `0.3.1` implements the fixed weekly Amazon browser source, exact-week validation, private staging, immutable publication, audit, broker-aware health, and the existing Collection Manager worker boundary. Browser and source behavior remain fixture-verified pending supervised Amazon acceptance.
+
+Shared provider ownership is described in [`../OVERVIEW.md`](../README.md); this file covers CDF-specific behavior.
+
+## Scope
+
+This component is intentionally weekly-collection-only. It does not provide daily CDF collection, CDF search, driver lookup, summaries, report rendering, Hermes actions, or a CDF domain client in Dispatch Core. Daily collection and read-facing surfaces are unavailable.
+
+## Current capability
+
+Implemented and fixture-verified:
+
+- Sunday-through-Saturday reporting-week resolution using exact `YYYY-W##` targets;
+- completed-week rejection;
+- exact validation of the three known CDF-negative CSV schemas;
+- exact validation of all six CDF complaint columns and `0`/`1` values;
+- row-to-requested-week binding;
+- explicit support for a valid zero-complaint CSV containing only its header;
+- week-bound provider-link validation;
+- auxiliary provider-link degradation without invalidating a valid CDF CSV;
+- owner-private staging;
+- content-addressed immutable artifact directories;
+- manifest and artifact hashing;
+- an immutable collection metadata database with one active pointer per week;
+- replay as `no_change`;
+- replacement only through explicit `replace: true`;
+- post-publication audit;
+- one bounded stdin request and one newline-terminated JSON receipt;
+- real fixture execution through the existing Collection Manager runner.
+- explicit manual `exact-target` collection and inclusive `target-range` backfill of up to 64 completed weeks;
+- one dynamic Auth Broker lease per weekly collection attempt;
+- fixed code-owned Amazon feedback, quality, and provider-data routes;
+- exact requested-week query binding and visible-week confirmation;
+- bounded streaming download inside the authenticated browser;
+- closed unavailable, authentication, challenge, wrong-page, timeout, content-type, and oversize states;
+- lease renewal, signal handling, and release in `finally`;
+- query-free fixed download provenance with redirect rejection; arbitrary AWS tenant hosts are forbidden;
+- cooperative cancellation through browser, staging, publication, and cleanup plus orphan-stage recovery;
+- cross-week active-pointer corruption detection;
+- a disabled synthetic Collection Manager polling-window fixture that opens Tuesday at 15:00, checks every 15 minutes until Wednesday at 15:00, and freezes its declared example week across the window.
+- broker-aware health that reports the configured source profile's closed authentication state without acquiring a browser;
+- one-attempt manual collection, with availability-only repetition owned by the bounded polling window.
+
+Not implemented or accepted:
+
+- live acceptance of the fixture-registered Amazon Logistics Auth Broker adapter;
+- live Amazon login or browser leasing for CDF;
+- enabled recurring scheduling;
+- any read/search/report interface.
+
+The production worker requests the configured Auth Broker profile and runs the weekly source instead of using a placeholder fetcher. Installed profile, broker, challenge, and collection state is local-only and is not represented by the checked-in example declaration. Fixture success does not claim live Amazon acceptance.
+
+`collector.health` performs only a metadata status request against the configured Auth Broker profile. It does not acquire a browser, submit credentials, or collect CDF data. Manual collection gets one bounded attempt; only the disabled polling window repeats `week_unavailable`, so terminal authentication and validation failures are not retried automatically.
+
+## Methods
+
+- `collection.resolve-targets`
+- `collector.health`
+- `cdf.week.collect`
+- `cdf.week.audit`
+
+Successful collection statuses accepted by the manager are:
+
+- `published`
+- `no_change`
+
+A provider-link source failure may still return `published` with:
+
+```json
+{
+  "warnings": ["provider_links_unavailable"],
+  "data": {
+    "providerLinks": "degraded",
+    "providerLinkCount": 0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The authoritative CDF CSV remains fully validated in that case. Raw browser/provider errors are never copied into the receipt.
+
+## Publication layout
+
+```text
+<data-root>/cdf/
+  cdf.sqlite3
+  artifacts/
+    2026-W20/
+      <collection-digest>/
+        cdf-negative.csv
+        provider-links.json
+        manifest.json
+  .staging/
+```
+
+Artifact directories are immutable. The SQLite store contains aggregate publication metadata and the active collection pointer; it does not currently create query projections.
+
+## Collection Manager registration
+
+`config/collection-manager.json` declares the four methods and one `cdf` exact-week scope using synthetic `TST1`, `fixture-company`, and `fixture-dsp` identifiers. Operators must keep the real source declaration outside the repository. The three checked-in plans are manual and no collection is queued automatically.
+
+`config/weekly-collection-schedule.json` declares a disabled `polling-window` in `America/Los_Angeles`. It opens Tuesday at 15:00, resolves and freezes `latest-complete`, retries only `week_unavailable` every 900 seconds, and stops at the Wednesday 15:00 cutoff. A verified publication ends retries immediately; authentication, validation, browser, and integrity failures are terminal. A manager restart inside the window catches up the original campaign without changing its target or deadline. The schedule must remain disabled until the live browser flow is accepted.
+
+## Commands
+
+From the project root:
+
+```sh
+./compatibility/cdf/scripts/build
+./compatibility/cdf/scripts/test
+./compatibility/cdf/scripts/verify
+./compatibility/cdf/scripts/health
+```
+
+Protected Amazon profile setup must run from a controlling terminal:
+
+```sh
+./bin/dispatch setup auth --provider amazon-logistics --profile amazon-operations --test-auth
+```
+
+Manual exact-week collection and bounded backfill use the same SDK-backed manager path:
+
+```sh
+./bin/dispatch collect preview cdf-example cdf --target 2026-W34 --json
+./bin/dispatch collect target cdf-example cdf 2026-W34 --idempotency cdf-week-2026-W34
+
+./bin/dispatch collect preview cdf-example cdf --from-target 2026-W20 --through-target 2026-W34 --json
+./bin/dispatch collect backfill cdf-example cdf 2026-W20 2026-W34 --idempotency cdf-backfill-W20-W34
+```
+
+Backfill endpoints are inclusive completed `YYYY-W##` weeks. A request is capped at 64 weeks, resolves oldest-to-newest into one durable batch, and gives every week an independent collect→audit graph. Auth/browser/publication locks serialize provider access. `collect retry <batch-id>` requeues only failed or cancelled work; successful weeks remain complete. Add `--mode refresh` only for an explicit re-collection request. No command in this component searches or presents CDF database rows.
+
+`verify` syntax-checks the plugin, executes the focused fixture suite, validates the manager specification and disabled polling window, proves exact-week and idempotent multi-week backfill previews, and proves the August 25 opening freezes exactly two `2026-W34` tasks: collect followed by audit. It also verifies the 15-minute availability-only retry policy and Wednesday cutoff.
+
+## Security boundary
+
+- The worker receives only an Auth Broker profile identifier, never credentials.
+- Collection input cannot supply a URL, command, environment, source path, cookie, or browser endpoint.
+- Staging and artifacts are owner-private.
+- Receipts contain aggregate counts, state, and stable errors only.
+- Raw CDF rows, feedback, tracking IDs, names, provider IDs, hashes, private paths, and source bodies do not cross the manager receipt boundary.
+- Live collection must use a dynamic Auth Broker lease; fixed port `9222` is forbidden.
+- Live browser transfer is capped at 2 MiB for the authoritative CSV and 1 MiB for auxiliary provider data so CDP frames remain bounded. Larger authoritative reports fail explicitly rather than being truncated.
+
+See [the collection data contract](references/data-contract.md) and the central plugin document.

+title: CDF collection data contract
+status: current
+last_verified: 2026-08-29
+---
+
+# CDF collection data contract
+
+## Reporting week
+
+A collection request names one exact `YYYY-W##` week. CDF source weeks run Sunday through Saturday. The label is the ISO week obtained after shifting a source delivery date forward by one day.
+
+A target is completed only when its Saturday end date is earlier than the current date in the configured source timezone.
+
+Publication time is not report identity. For example, the Tuesday, August 25 through Wednesday, August 26, 2026 polling campaign resolves `latest-complete` once to `2026-W34`, covering Sunday, August 16 through Saturday, August 22. Every 15-minute attempt retains that exact target; the Wednesday posting time never changes artifact identity.
+
+## Live weekly source boundary
+
+The production source uses one dynamic Auth Broker lease and fixed code-owned Amazon Logistics routes. Manager input cannot supply a URL, JavaScript expression, download location, browser endpoint, or source path.
+
+Before source bytes are accepted, the adapter requires:
+
+- the exact feedback page query for week, station, and company;
+- visible evidence for the requested week;
+- exactly one matching CDF-negative CSV download link;
+- an approved HTTPS Logistics/S3 download location;
+- an approved CSV content type;
+- a bounded streaming body no larger than 2 MiB.
+
+The auxiliary provider operation uses exact week/station/DSP API query fields and a 1 MiB bounded JSON response. Any provider operation or normalization failure becomes unavailable/degraded evidence; unvalidated provider bytes are never published.
+
+Authentication, CAPTCHA, challenge, unavailable-week, wrong-page, timeout, content-type, oversize, cancellation, and cleanup conditions remain distinct closed states. The lease is renewed while active and released on every normal success/failure path.
+
+## Authoritative CSV
+
+The CDF-negative CSV is authoritative. It must be bounded UTF-8 CSV, not HTML, and must match one exact header schema.
+
+### `cdf-negative-v1`
+
+1. `Delivery Group ID`
+2. `Delivery Associate`
+3. `Delivery Associate Name`
+4. `DA Mishandled Package`
+5. `DA was Unprofessional`
+6. `DA did not follow my delivery instructions`
+7. `Delivered to Wrong Address`
+8. `Never Received Delivery`
+9. `Received Wrong Item`
+10. `Feedback Details`
+11. `Tracking ID`
+12. `Delivery Date`
+
+### `cdf-negative-v2`
+
+Same as v1, with `Impacts Scorecard` between `Delivery Associate Name` and the six complaint columns.
+
+### `cdf-negative-v3`
+
+1. `Delivery Group ID`
+2. `Delivery Associate`
+3. `Delivery Associate Name`
+4. `Impacts Scorecard`
+5. `Tracking ID`
+6. the six complaint columns in the v1 order
+7. `Feedback Details`
+8. `Dispute status`
+9. `Delivery Date`
+
+Every data row must:
+
+- have the exact schema width;
+- contain non-empty delivery-group, delivery-associate, and tracking identities;
+- use only `0` or `1` in all six complaint columns;
+- contain a valid `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` delivery timestamp, optionally with fractional seconds;
+- bind to the requested reporting week.
+
+A header-only CSV is a valid imported zero-complaint week. It is distinct from an unavailable week and from invalid/empty source bytes.
+
+## Auxiliary provider links
+
+The provider-link artifact is JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "contract_version": 1,
+  "week": "2026-W20",
+  "rows": [
+    {
+      "da_name": "Fixture Driver",
+      "transporter_id": "transporter-1",
+      "provider_id": "amzn1.flex.provider.v1.12345678"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The contract rejects unknown fields, wrong weeks, empty identities, malformed Amazon provider IDs, and duplicate transporter/provider pairs.
+
+Provider links are auxiliary. If their source is unavailable, collection publishes a canonical empty week-bound provider artifact with manifest status `degraded` and a sanitized warning. A malformed artifact that claims to be collected fails validation; the live source adapter is responsible for mapping a provider-link collection failure to unavailable rather than passing corrupt bytes.
+
+## Manifest and identity
+
+Each publication contains:
+
+- contract version;
+- exact week, station, company identity, and DSP identity;
+- collection time, run ID, and attempt;
+- source schema, byte count, row count, column count, and SHA-256;
+- provider status, byte count, row count, and SHA-256;
+- a content identity digest;
+- a canonical manifest digest.
+
+The collection digest excludes execution metadata and is derived from the week, station, source identity, and provider identity. Recollecting identical artifacts therefore returns `no_change` even when run/time metadata differs.
+
+## Publication semantics
+
+- New week with valid artifacts: `published`.
+- Same active content: `no_change`.
+- Different content for an active week without `replace: true`: `week_already_loaded`.
+- Different valid content with explicit replacement: publish a new immutable directory and transactionally advance the active pointer.
+- Any validation, hash, staging, database, or audit failure: do not advance the active pointer.
+
+Prior immutable collection records remain available as rollback evidence. Search/read projections are deliberately outside this contract.
+
+## Receipt boundary
+
+Allowed collection receipt data is aggregate only:
+
+- method;
+- target week;
+- source row and column counts;
+- provider-link count and `ready`/`degraded` status;
+- verification boolean;
+- closed warnings and errors.
+
+Receipts do not expose source rows, feedback, identities, provider IDs, filenames, hashes, artifact/database paths, browser endpoints, cookies, credentials, or raw provider errors.

+
+# Dispatch plugins
+
+`compatibility/providers/` holds provider-specific integrations. Each provider owns its collection behavior and persistence. Runtime application, orchestration, authentication, CLI, and SDK infrastructure live alongside providers inside [`runtime/`](../../docs/architecture.md). Central accounts, provisioning, and fleet updates belong to [`core/`](../../core/OVERVIEW.md).
+
+## Current plugins
+
+| Plugin | Status | Purpose | Documentation |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `paycom/` | Current and live-accepted | Paycom roster, detailed timecards, punches, resource links, lifecycle reconciliation, atomic publication, persistence audits, and privacy-safe aggregate change history. | [`paycom/OVERVIEW.md`](../../plugins/paycom/backend/OVERVIEW.md) |
+| `cdf/` | Mixed; fixture-accepted | Exact-week CDF collection, immutable artifact publication, broker-aware health, and a disabled polling window. The live Amazon flow remains blocked pending supervised provider acceptance. | [`cdf/OVERVIEW.md`](../cdf/OVERVIEW.md) |
+
+## Plugin ownership
+
+A plugin owns:
+
+- provider navigation after authenticated handoff;
+- provider routes and response interpretation;
+- domain parsing and validation;
+- business reconciliation and fingerprints;
+- private staging, database schema, migrations, publication, rollback, and audit;
+- plugin-specific worker, configuration, tests, scripts, references, and documentation.
+
+A plugin does **not** own:
+
+- credentials, login secrets, or authenticated browser-profile lifecycle;
+- generic schedules, desired state, retries, locks, cancellation, or run history;
+- public application workflow composition;
+- reusable CLI or SDK presentation infrastructure.
+
+Those concerns belong to the other DSP runtime components.
+
+## Expected plugin layout
+
+A working plugin should keep its implementation together under one directory:
+
+```text
+compatibility/providers/<plugin-id>/
+├── OVERVIEW.md
+├── dispatch-plugin.yaml
+├── package.json
+├── bin/                  # fixed worker or plugin CLI entry points
+├── config/               # non-secret declarative registration
+├── src/                  # provider/domain implementation
+├── tests/                # fixture and contract coverage
+├── tooling/              # build, test, verify, and health commands
+└── references/           # data contracts and provider-specific notes
+```
+
+Not every plugin has every directory yet, but new plugin behavior should not be placed in `core/` merely for convenience.
+
+## Runtime boundary
+
+The Collection Manager launches a plugin's registered worker with one bounded JSON request and accepts one bounded sanitized receipt. Authentication is requested from the Auth Broker by profile identifier; credentials never enter plugin configuration or manager receipts. Business data remains plugin-owned and is exposed to applications only through an approved typed read boundary.
+
+Core source must not add imports of plugin implementation modules. Run:
+
+```bash
+./core/tooling/verify-plugin-boundary
+```
+
+The verifier rejects Core imports of DSP implementations. There is no provider import allowlist. Core and each DSP communicate through the shared `shared/` contracts.
+
+## Maintaining a provider
+
+When behavior changes, update the provider overview and closest data contract, run its build and tests, and run the repository boundary verification above.

+# Dispatch Auth Broker
+
+The Auth Broker is the credential-storage and authenticated-session boundary for Dispatch collectors. It is intentionally independent of Paycom roster and timecard business logic.
+
+## Current capability
+
+Version `0.9.0` provides a working local broker core, automated credential-free recovery for interrupted Paycom submissions, a live-accepted Paycom handoff, and a fixture-verified Amazon Logistics adapter boundary:
+
+- AES-256-GCM encrypted credential profiles;
+- a separate 256-bit master key;
+- strict Paycom, Amazon Logistics, and HTTP-basic credential schemas;
+- owner-only database, key, state directory, and Unix socket permissions;
+- local hidden-terminal enrollment and replacement;
+- metadata `health`, `providers`, `list`, `status`, `lock`, and `unlock` socket operations;
+- durable pre-submission attempt latches, phase-specific cooldowns, reasoned manual states, and credential-free observation recovery after approved local interruptions;
+- broker-owned, provider/profile-scoped persistent Paycom and Amazon Logistics browser state and private Chrome processes;
+- a Paycom authentication adapter that performs credential and exact indexed-PIN entry inside the broker;
+- an Amazon Logistics adapter that recognizes exact approved application/sign-in origins and routes, an exact return target, both combined and separate username/password forms, conservative sign-out and `/performance` capability evidence, MFA, CAPTCHA, security challenges, account lockout, invalid credentials, and ambiguous layouts;
+- short-lived browser leases bound to an auth profile, collector ID, and Collection Manager run ID;
+- full loopback CDP handoff to the plugin only after authentication succeeds;
+- integrity verification that decrypts and authenticates every stored profile;
+- no public credential-read or export operation.
+
+The Paycom plugin controls the browser completely after handoff. The broker does not constrain plugin navigation, JavaScript, network access, tabs, downloads, uploads, or collection strategy. Because full CDP access includes authenticated cookies and storage, installed plugins are trusted with the resulting session. They still never receive the vault credential object.
+
+The Paycom adapter has crossed a supervised provider-login and protected-application handoff boundary. Current profile enrollment, browser state, and provider readiness remain installation-local and must be queried through the metadata-only status interface.
+
+The Amazon Logistics adapter has fixture acceptance only. It has not completed the separate supervised live-login and lease acceptance gate. Repository documentation intentionally records no installation's profile inventory, latch state, credential roots, or migration candidates.
+
+## Paths
+
+```text
+Database: <data-root>/auth-broker/credentials.sqlite3
+Master key: <secrets-root>/auth-broker/master.key
+Socket: <runtime-root>/auth-broker.sock
+Browser state: <state-root>/auth-broker/browser-sessions/
+Attempt state: <state-root>/auth-broker/authentication-attempts.json
+```
+
+`DISPATCH_LOCAL_ROOT` derives external development storage. Without it, new installations use XDG roots. `DISPATCH_DATA_ROOT`, `DISPATCH_SECRETS_ROOT`, `DISPATCH_STATE_ROOT`, and `DISPATCH_RUNTIME_ROOT` or explicit local SDK runtime options may override those defaults. `resolveLocalRuntimePaths()` rejects mutable roots inside the source worktree.
+
+The database directory is mode `0700`; the database, key, and live socket are mode `0600`. See [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md) for the explicit threat model, guarantees, limitations, and production-hardening requirements.
+
+## Safe Paycom credential setup
+
+For the legacy/local terminal workflow, stop the Auth Broker before changing credentials, then run the dedicated interactive command from a private local terminal:
+
+```bash
+./bin/dispatch-paycom-credentials enroll
+```
+
+This defaults to profile `paycom-main`. To use another non-secret profile identifier:
+
+```bash
+./bin/dispatch-paycom-credentials enroll paycom-backup
+```
+
+The wizard reads the Paycom client code, username, password, and five security-PIN answers directly from `/dev/tty`. Terminal echo is disabled, every value must be entered twice, and no credential value is accepted through arguments, environment variables, redirected standard input, or ordinary files. The command returns profile metadata only.
+
+Replace the existing `paycom-main` profile with:
+
+```bash
+./bin/dispatch-paycom-credentials replace
+```
+
+Replacement securely resets the profile's persistent Paycom browser/device state before committing the new encrypted credential record. Removal deletes both the encrypted record and its persistent browser state. Ordinary browser release and broker restart terminate Chrome but retain the owner-private Paycom device profile.
+
+## Amazon Logistics credential preparation
+
+The registered provider ID is `amazon-logistics`; the intended non-secret profile ID is `amazon-operations`. The unified protected workflow can enroll and optionally test it from the project root:
+
+```bash
+./bin/dispatch setup auth --provider amazon-logistics --profile amazon-operations --test-auth
+```
+
+Do not run that command through chat, redirected input, screen sharing, or automation. It stops and restores only the verified managed broker, reads username and password twice from `/dev/tty` with echo disabled, and returns metadata only. The strict adapter recognizes approved login forms and challenge categories in fixture coverage; every live challenge, latch, and continuation decision remains installation-local and fail-closed. The lower-level offline admin remains available for recovery when the managed workflow cannot be used.
+
+Verify metadata and vault integrity without revealing credentials:
+
+```bash
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-auth-broker-admin status amazon-operations
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-auth-broker-admin verify
+```
+
+Then restart the broker for a separately supervised fixture-to-live acceptance. `broker_running`, `tty_unavailable`, or `confirmation_mismatch` are safe failures: no credential profile is changed.
+
+## General administration
+
+Initialize the vault:
+
+```bash
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-auth-broker-admin init
+```
+
+The provider-generic equivalent of the Paycom enrollment wizard is:
+
+```bash
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-auth-broker-admin enroll paycom-main paycom
+```
+
+For the fixture-registered Amazon provider, the equivalent is:
+
+```bash
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-auth-broker-admin enroll amazon-operations amazon-logistics
+```
+
+Metadata-only operations:
+
+```bash
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-auth-broker-admin list
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-auth-broker-admin status paycom-main
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-auth-broker-admin verify
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-auth-broker-admin remove paycom-main
+```
+
+There is intentionally no command that displays or exports credentials.
+
+## Broker service
+
+Start in the foreground:
+
+```bash
+./tooling/start
+```
+
+Use the socket client from another terminal:
+
+```bash
+./bin/dispatch-auth-brokerctl health
+./bin/dispatch-auth-brokerctl providers
+./bin/dispatch-auth-brokerctl list
+./bin/dispatch-auth-brokerctl status paycom-main
+./bin/dispatch-auth-brokerctl lock paycom-main
+./bin/dispatch-auth-brokerctl unlock paycom-main
+./bin/dispatch-auth-brokerctl test-auth-profile paycom-main
+```
+
+`unlock` clears an operator lock or non-recoverable attempt latch. Use it only after locally reviewing the provider account state; it never reveals or changes credential values. Interrupted submitted Paycom attempts do not call `unlock`: the broker may recover them automatically only by proving an existing exact authenticated Timecard Search session without reading or submitting credentials/PINs.
+
+Each connection accepts one newline-terminated JSON request of at most 4096 bytes and returns one bounded JSON response. The socket is owner-only and stale sockets are removed only after ownership, type, and liveness checks.
+
+## Plugin browser API
+
+Plugins should use `src/browser-client.js` programmatically so lease values do not appear in command arguments:
+
+```js
+const { acquireAuthenticatedBrowser } = require('./src/browser-client');
+
+const lease = await acquireAuthenticatedBrowser({
+  profile: 'paycom-main',
+  collector: 'paycom',
+  runId: 'run-from-collection-manager',
+  ttlSeconds: 900,
+});
+
+try {
+  // Connect Playwright/Puppeteer/CDP to lease.endpoint.
+  // access is deliberately "full".
+} finally {
+  await lease.release();
+}
+```
+
+Protocol version `5` includes the metadata-only `test-auth-profile` and credential-free `inspect-auth-profile` operations plus the browser operations `acquire-browser`, `browser-status`, `renew-browser`, and `release-browser`. They are strict JSON operations, not arbitrary browser commands. Test/inspection operations expose no lease or endpoint, and the authentication test destroys its browser before returning. The endpoint returned by `acquire-browser` gives the trusted plugin full CDP control. A plugin may renew within the 30–3600 second policy window. Lease expiry, release, profile locking, and broker shutdown terminate Chrome. Paycom and Amazon Logistics owner-private device profiles persist for their bound auth profiles; ephemeral profiles used by other providers are removed.
+
+The browser client converts socket absence, refusal, and other local transport details into the stable `broker_unavailable` code. Acquisition deadline expiry becomes `authentication_timeout`, and cancellation remains `acquisition_cancelled`. Collectors therefore receive actionable sanitized failures rather than operating-system socket errors or a generic collection failure.
+
+A hardened user-service template is provided at `integration/systemd/dispatch-auth-broker.service.in`. Render the Dispatch user-service units for the current checkout and an external local-data root with `core/tooling/render-systemd-units --local-root <absolute-local-root> --output-dir <absolute-unit-directory>`. It uses `KillMode=control-group` so Chrome and all descendants are terminated with the broker, and `Restart=always` so unexpected clean exits are recovered. The template is not installed or enabled automatically.
+
+The current local setup workflow instead uses a fixed-operation lifecycle adapter with a private service record and a reviewed Linux pidfd signal helper. Broker startup and credential mutation share an exclusive maintenance lock so the broker cannot start during vault replacement.
+
+## Development checks
+
+```bash
+./tooling/test
+./tooling/build
+./tooling/verify
+```
+
+The test suite uses temporary vaults with non-production fixtures. It verifies encryption, tamper rejection, strict schemas, private permissions, socket behavior, provider route classification, persistent-profile policy, attempt-format migration, interruption classification, credential-free recovery, no-resubmission failure behavior, cooldown/manual/operator-lock preservation, browser cleanup, and credential scrubbing. Fixture success is not live Amazon acceptance.
+
+Managed OCI runtimes additionally accept the fixed private `enroll-paycom` operation from their Gateway, enabled only in the fixed container environment. It binds `paycom-main`, requires create/replace intent, drains the profile session and writes through the encrypted vault. There is no credential-read response. The dashboard owner workflow and deployment prerequisites are described in DSP acceptance.
+
+### Paycom failure diagnostics and retry readiness
+
+`dispatch-auth-brokerctl profile-readiness paycom-main` reads the current recovery state and the last sanitized failure trail without launching Chrome, decrypting credentials, or submitting a login. States distinguish readiness, observation-only recovery, cooldown (with `retryAt`), manual review, busy work, and a missing profile. A readiness response never clears the attempt guard.
+
+The broker retains at most eight observations per profile in private `authentication-diagnostics.json` under the Auth Broker state directory. It survives broker restart, is replaced by a later failed attempt, and is cleared after successful authentication or managed credential replacement. Paycom observations include numbered challenge indices, form counts, the recognized challenge action path, and a closed reason code such as `additional_verification`, `ambiguous_rejection`, `challenge_layout_changed`, or `challenge_response_timeout`. Page text, input values, query values, titles, and CDP messages are excluded. This file is diagnostic evidence, not permission to retry.
+
+The owner's Paycom page checks current readiness for failed requests and again before accepting Retry connection. Cooldowns and busy/unavailable states refresh automatically; manual blocks require review. The setup form requires the original Paycom security PIN numbering (1–5).

+
+# Auth Broker Security Model
+
+## Current scope
+
+This component protects credential storage, performs credential-bearing provider login, owns private Chrome processes and provider/profile-scoped browser state, and issues short-lived full-CDP browser leases. The Paycom adapter has crossed a separately supervised provider-login and protected-application handoff boundary. Amazon Logistics has a registered fixture-verified adapter but has not crossed a live login or lease boundary.
+
+Live acceptance requires more than a generic shell: the provider adapter must prove the exact protected application before issuing a lease. Current profile enrollment, latches, browser state, and provider readiness are installation-local and are not repository documentation.
+
+## Security guarantees
+
+- Credential objects are validated against closed provider-specific schemas.
+- Paycom requires exactly client code, username, password, and five distinct indexed PIN strings.
+- Amazon Logistics requires exactly username and password. MFA, CAPTCHA, security challenges, lockout, unknown origins, and unknown layouts are classified separately and fail closed.
+- Credential plaintext is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a fresh 96-bit IV and 128-bit tag for each write.
+- AEAD associated data binds ciphertext to vault version, profile ID, and provider ID.
+- The 256-bit master key is stored separately from encrypted SQLite rows.
+- Key, database, and socket are mode `0600`; credential and state directories are mode `0700`.
+- Storage rejects symlinks, foreign ownership, unexpected hard links, unsafe modes, non-canonical paths, incomplete key/database pairs, unsupported schemas, oversized databases, and invalid public metadata.
+- Integrity verification authenticates and decrypts every bounded credential profile.
+- Public IPC has no secret read, reveal, dump, or export operation.
+- Plugins receive full browser access only after broker-side authentication; no credential object crosses the IPC boundary.
+- Browser leases are bound to profile, collector label, run ID, and a bounded lifetime measured with a monotonic deadline. Release, expiry, profile lock, or broker shutdown terminates Chrome. Paycom and Amazon Logistics browser/device state remains owner-private and bound to the auth profile; profile replacement and removal delete it before credential mutation.
+- Collector and run identifiers are audit/lifecycle labels under the current same-Unix-user trust model; they are not independent process identity proofs.
+- Chrome runs in a private profile with extensions and component background pages disabled. Persistent profile metadata is identity-bound. Runtime markers include boot ID and process start ticks, but startup reconciliation never kills from a persisted PID; it blocks if a same-user process names the exact profile directory and cleans only inactive stale state.
+- Pending authentication is cancelled and drained before profile lock or broker shutdown completes.
+- The official client keeps an acquisition connection open; disconnect or request deadline cancels the pending login and destroys its browser.
+- Before the adapter can submit credentials, the broker durably records a pending-attempt latch. Invalid credentials impose a cooldown. Restart or an approved local interruption after submission becomes internally observation-recoverable: Paycom may clear that latch only by proving an already-authenticated exact Timecard Search session without decrypting or submitting credentials/PINs. Provider ambiguity, rejected credentials, account lockout, CAPTCHA/MFA/security challenge, operator lock, and failed recovery remain manual.
+- Browser status checks process liveness, and cleanup verifies that the Chrome process group exited before removing its profile. Failed cleanup is retried immediately and then by a background reaper while the broker remains alive.
+- Socket requests use a closed action/field contract, strict duplicate-key-rejecting JSON, bounded input/output, connection limits, and timeouts.
+- Enrollment reads secrets only from `/dev/tty` with terminal echo disabled and restored on normal error, signal exit, and process exit paths. Provider values are entered twice and mutation is refused while the broker is running.
+- Managed DSP enrollment uses the same helper with one authority-derived runtime projection after the complete configured service set, including the Runtime Agent, is stopped/read back. Access Control, Provisioner jobs, browser/SDK requests, argv, and environment never carry credential values; successful metadata becomes only a provider-auth readiness input.
+
+## Threat boundary
+
+Encryption at rest does not protect against an attacker who controls the broker's operating-system account while the key is present. A process running as the same Unix user can generally read both the key and database files despite the files being mode `0600`. Root, kernel compromise, process-memory inspection, and physical-memory compromise are also outside this component's protection boundary.
+
+For a stronger production boundary, run the broker under a dedicated service account and authorize collectors through a separately reviewed IPC identity mechanism. Socket mode `0600` authorizes the owning Unix account, not individual executables.
+
+Full CDP access intentionally makes an installed plugin trusted with the authenticated browser session. Such a plugin can access cookies, local/session storage, authorization headers, and any account data available to the browser. This design protects primary credentials from ordinary plugin handling; it does not make mutually untrusted plugins safe to run against the same authenticated account. A username may also be visible in Paycom's authenticated UI even though the broker never exports the stored credential record.
+
+Persistent Paycom and Amazon Logistics browser profiles contain authenticated session and trusted-device material. They are not encrypted by the credential vault and must be protected like active login sessions. No broker operation exports them. Do not copy them to logs, source control, or general backups; use profile replacement/removal to reset them.
+
+The loopback CDP endpoint has no independent bearer-token gate. Its random port is disclosed only in the owner-private lease response and `DevToolsActivePort` file, but another process running as the broker's Unix user may be able to discover it. Use a dedicated service account or stronger process isolation if same-user plugins are not mutually trusted.
+
+Collector wrappers should use a short renewable lease, release on normal completion and termination signals, and stop renewing when the collector dies. An uncatchable collector kill can retain a browser only until the short TTL expires. When deployed with the provided systemd unit, `KillMode=control-group` also prevents Chrome descendants from surviving broker service termination.
+
+`manual_verification_required`, `mfa_required`, `captcha_required`, and `security_challenge` remain terminal for the current acquisition. Observation recovery is a separate credential-free proof path available only for an internally reasoned interruption latch; it cannot continue through logged-out or credential/PIN-bearing pages. All genuine provider-side manual states destroy the browser and require operator review.
+
+The owner-only `unlock` operation clears a durable attempt/operator latch but cannot read or alter credentials. Operators must review provider account state before unlocking. Automated collectors never invoke `unlock`; observation recovery is enforced inside the broker.
+
+The JavaScript runtime cannot guarantee complete zeroization of immutable strings or copies made by the runtime. Explicit plaintext buffers and the loaded key buffer are zeroed where practical, but process memory must still be treated as sensitive.
+
+## Operational requirements
+
+- Never send real credentials or PINs through chat.
+- Enroll or replace credentials only from a private local terminal.
+- Do not run enrollment while screen sharing or recording.
+- Back up the database and master key securely; loss of the key makes the encrypted rows unrecoverable.
+- Do not copy the master key into source control, logs, tests, manifests, or ordinary configuration.
+- Keep the parent database and component directories non-group-writable so another group member cannot replace private child directories.
+- Production service packaging should disable core dumps, restrict filesystem access, set a strict umask, and isolate the broker account.
+- Node's built-in `node:sqlite` API is experimental in the installed Node 22 runtime. Pin the runtime or replace it with a maintained SQLite binding before declaring a long-term production support policy.
+
+## Verification commands
+
+```bash
+./tooling/build
+./tooling/test
+./tooling/verify
+./tooling/start
+./tooling/health
+```
+
+The test suite uses non-production credentials in owner-private temporary directories and covers encryption, plaintext absence, AAD substitution, ciphertext tampering, schema tampering, metadata tampering, unsafe filesystem objects, incomplete storage, profile bounds, strict JSON, socket limits, live-instance exclusion, private authentication, full-browser handoff, pending shutdown/lock cancellation, disconnected clients, revocation, strict Paycom and Amazon Logistics routes/states, post-submit transitions, persistent-profile reconciliation/deletion, stale-PID refusal, and credential-free responses. Live acceptance currently covers Paycom only. Amazon fixtures prove that the classifier requires conservative capability evidence; they do not prove the current site exposes that evidence, credential validity, MFA behavior, or clean-target browser handoff.

+
+# Dispatch Collection Manager
+
+Provider implementations live in [`../providers/`](../../plugins/README.md).
+
+The Collection Manager is the durable local control plane for every Dispatch collector. It owns registration, source instances, collection methods, schedules, durable runs, dependency gates, retries, resource locks, cancellation, and bounded collector subprocess execution.
+
+Collectors own domain collection and validation. The manager owns when and how they run.
+
+## Current capabilities
+
+- Declarative collector/source/plan specifications.
+- Multiple methods per collector and multiple source instances per collector.
+- Manual, interval, and five-field cron schedules with IANA timezones.
+- Durable SQLite queue and run history.
+- Idempotent schedule keys that suppress duplicate interval/cron runs.
+- Freshness-bounded plan dependencies.
+- Four concurrent workers by default with source and declared resource locks.
+- Retry attempts with bounded backoff.
+- Pause, resume, cancel, manual retry, and offline drain controls.
+- Exact collector executable validation and release version snapshots per run.
+- Strict closed method input schemas.
+- Collector requests over stdin and one bounded JSON receipt over stdout.
+- Sanitized failures; collector stderr is never persisted.
+- Secret-bearing configuration keys are rejected. Sources reference auth profiles by identifier only.
+- Standard source capability discovery and non-mutating target preview.
+- Current, latest-complete, exact-date, yesterday, range, rolling-duration, and exact-target selectors.
+- Durable multi-target batches with exact run dependencies and preview-hash fencing.
+- Standard relative-selector schedules shared by every capable collector.
+- Plugin-registered polling sync definitions backed by existing manual plans.
+- Sync start, stop, restart, run-now, edit revisions, history, deterministic jitter, and coalescing.
+- Managed-installation first-publication support: exact server-owned Paycom definition attestation, job-bound pay-period/run and workforce-batch idempotency, exact five-plan graph verification, clean database/idle/no-critical-alert readiness evidence, and a private read-only batch-to-publication verifier. Stale activation workers do not cancel shared work. The manager contributes durable run receipts but never writes installation `ready`.

+`DISPATCH_LOCAL_ROOT` derives external development data and state directories. Without it, new installations use XDG roots. Individual `DISPATCH_DATA_ROOT` and `DISPATCH_STATE_ROOT` values or explicit SDK runtime options may override the defaults. `resolveLocalRuntimePaths()` is authoritative for local mode and rejects mutable roots inside the source worktree. A Provisioner-managed service sets a fixed internal managed-runtime marker; worker launch then requires the complete authority-derived component/provider environment, rejects local-root and Access Control selectors, and never falls back to local/XDG storage.
+
+The database directory is mode `0700` and the database is mode `0600`.

+$CTL edit-sync <sync-id> /absolute/path/to/patch.json
+$CTL sync-history <sync-id>
+```
+
+All commands return one bounded JSON object. List commands, including `runs`, are paginated under `data.items` with `total`, `limit`, `offset`, and `hasMore`. `run-status` uses the run lifecycle state as its envelope status. `apply` is an upsert: it creates or updates declarations but does not delete omitted declarations.
+
+When the long-running manager is not active, process queued work synchronously:
+
+```bash
+$CTL drain 30000
+```
+
+Do not use `drain` while the manager daemon is running; the single-manager lease rejects a second manager. `idle` means the queue is empty, `deferred` returns retry-delayed or dependency-blocked work under `data.pending`, and `drain_timeout` explicitly cancels and reports active run IDs.
+
+Pausing a plan blocks new scheduled and manual runs. Existing queued runs continue unless cancelled separately; existing running work is not interrupted.
+
+## Managed polling syncs
+
+A plugin registers a sync by declaring a normal manual plan plus a top-level `syncs` entry in its manager specification. The manager owns desired state, interval, jitter, `coalesce` overlap, validated non-secret settings, configuration revision, lifecycle generation, scheduling, cancellation, and history. The plugin plan owns source checks, provider cursors, synchronization strategy, validation, reconciliation, and publication.
+
+Each tick is an ordinary manager run. Starting queues an immediate tick; stopping cancels queued and active ticks and waits for cleanup; `--drain` allows the active tick to finish; restarting starts a new generation; editing increments the immutable configuration revision used by future ticks. A pending tick coalesces additional due windows.
+
+The public interface is `dispatch.sync` and `./bin/dispatch sync ...`.
+
+## Service
+
+```bash
+./tooling/start
+```
+
+The manager heartbeat appears under `status.data.manager`. A running daemon schedules due plans and processes queued runs. SIGINT and SIGTERM cancel active workers, release the manager lease, and close the database.
+
+A hardened legacy-local user-service template is provided at `integration/systemd/dispatch-collection-manager.service.in`. Render the local Dispatch user-service units for the current checkout and an external local-data root with `core/tooling/render-systemd-units --local-root <absolute-local-root> --output-dir <absolute-unit-directory>`. Its `KillMode=control-group` ensures collector children are terminated with the manager during service stop or restart. Provisioner-managed DSPs instead receive the fixed server-owned Collection Manager within service-plan version `3`, alongside the Auth Broker, Runtime Gateway, and configured outbound Runtime Agent; the legacy renderer is not used for managed runtimes.
+
+## Collector process contract
+
+A collector is one owner-controlled, absolute, regular executable. It receives no command arguments and a single JSON request over stdin:
+
+```json
+{
+  "protocolVersion": 1,
+  "runId": "run_...",
+  "plan": "paycom-main-timecards",
+  "source": {
+    "id": "paycom-main",
+    "collector": "paycom",
+    "authProfile": "paycom-main",
+    "config": {}
+  },
+  "method": "timecards.period",
+  "input": {},
+  "attempt": 1,
+  "deadline": "2026-08-25T12:00:00.000Z"
+}
+```
+
+It must write exactly one newline-terminated JSON receipt and nothing else to stdout:
+
+```json
+{
+  "ok": true,
+  "status": "published",
+  "data": {
+    "rows": 500,
+    "revision": "..."
+  },
+  "warnings": []
+}
+```
+
+Successful statuses are `succeeded`, `published`, and `no_change`. Failures use:
+
+```json
+{"ok":false,"status":"failed","error":{"code":"stable_error_code"}}
+```
+
+Collectors must write logs to their own private operational location, not stdout. The manager discards stderr and stores only bounded receipts or sanitized error codes.
+
+## Scheduling and dependencies
+
+Supported schedule shapes:
+
+```json
+{"type":"manual"}
+{"type":"interval","seconds":900}
+{"type":"cron","expression":"50 15 * * *","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles"}
+```
+
+A dependency requires a recent successful run of another plan:
+
+```json
+{"plan":"paycom-main-roster","maxAgeSeconds":86400}
+```
+
+A queued run remains blocked with `blocked: "dependency:<plan>"` until all dependencies are fresh.
+
+Standard batches also persist exact run-to-run dependencies for every resolved target. Their source capability declaration points to a collector-owned resolver and maps scopes to existing registered plans.
+
+## Concurrency
+
+Every run automatically locks its source. Methods can declare additional keys:
+
+```json
+[
+  "auth:{authProfile}",
+  "collector:{collector}",
+  "publish:paycom-timecards"
+]
+```
+
+Supported substitutions are `{source}`, `{authProfile}`, `{collector}`, and `{method}`. This prevents two runs from sharing one browser/auth profile or publication target while allowing unrelated collectors to run concurrently.
+
+## Security boundary
+
+- Specifications, source config, method input, receipts, and run history must never contain credentials, cookies, tokens, PINs, or authorization headers.
+- `authProfile` is only an identifier. Authenticated browser sessions are acquired through the separate Auth Broker; credentials and browser material are never stored in manager state.
+- Collector commands must be absolute owner-controlled executables with no symlinks, extra hard links, or group/other write permissions.
+- No collector receives inherited credential environment variables.
+- Collector stdout and stderr are bounded; stderr is not retained.
+- The manager does not expose arbitrary shell arguments, environment variables, URLs, or commands at run time.
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+```bash
+./tooling/test
+./tooling/build
+./tooling/verify
+./tooling/health
+```
+
+The source is canonical. Do not edit generated runtime copies if immutable releases are added later.

+
+# Runtime Gateway
+
+`runtime/runtime-gateway` is the closed owner-private transport for one managed DSP runtime. It keeps the centralized dashboard outside tenant databases and converts only a small allowlist of operational SDK calls into one-request/one-response Unix-socket messages.
+
+## Request path
+
+```text
+authenticated browser session
+  -> Access Control reloads active membership and permission
+  -> Access Control resolves the organization's ready installation
+  -> dashboard runtime router derives the connector from server configuration
+  -> runtime gateway verifies protocol version and expected runtime identity
+  -> tenant-local DispatchClient
+  -> tenant-local Auth Broker, Collection Manager, and publication stores
+```
+
+The browser never receives or submits a runtime key, installations root, Unix-socket path, host, port, URL, database path, service name, or command. The gateway is not an HTTP listener and is not exported through the public SDK.
+
+## Protocol
+
+Protocol version `1` accepts exactly one newline-terminated JSON request per connection:
+
+```json
+{
+  "protocolVersion": 1,
+  "runtimeKey": "<server-selected-runtime-key>",
+  "action": "system.status",
+  "input": {}
+}
+```
+
+`runtimeKey` is internal routing evidence. The gateway compares it with its process-bound runtime identity on every request and never echoes the value in a response.
+
+Allowed actions are:
+
+- `health` with `{}`;
+- `system.status` with `{}`;
+- `workforce.day` with `{ "query": <closed-workforce-day-query> }`;
+- `workforce.employees` with `{ "query": <closed-workforce-query> }`;
+- `workforce.employee` with `{ "code": <four-character-employee-code> }`;
+- `sync.status` with `{ "id": <sync-id> }`;
+- `sync.run_now` with `{ "id": <sync-id>, "options": <closed-run-options> }`.
+
+Unknown actions and fields fail closed. Inputs are validated again in the gateway process before they reach the runtime-local SDK. The server returns one closed transport envelope containing a normal sanitized SDK result. Stable transport failures are `invalid_request`, `runtime_identity_mismatch`, `runtime_protocol_mismatch`, and `runtime_gateway_unavailable`.
+
+Current limits are code-owned:
+
+- request: 16 KiB;
+- response: 300 KiB;
+- concurrent connections: 64;
+- request/socket deadline: 15 seconds;
+- Unix-socket path: at most 107 bytes.
+
+The strict JSON parser rejects duplicate object keys, non-finite values, trailing content, carriage returns, and multiple messages on one connection.
+
+## Runtime composition
+
+`src/managed-runtime.js` reconstructs the managed layout from the complete explicit environment rendered by the Provisioner. Every projected value must equal the deterministic path derived from the process-bound runtime key. The gateway rejects missing roots, fallback roots, symlinks, wrong ownership, wrong modes, replaced directories, wrong devices, and a socket outside `<runtime-root>/runtime-gateway.sock`.
+
+It deliberately does not call `resolveLocalRuntimePaths()` and does not create a tenant-local Access Control store. It constructs a real `DispatchClient` from tenant-local adapters for:
+
+- Auth Broker metadata and readiness;
+- Collection Manager health;
+- authenticated synchronization coordination;
+- Paycom publication health;
+- workforce reads.
+
+Provider credential setup is not an exposed gateway capability. The Auth Broker and Collection Manager are already supervised by systemd; the gateway checks the existing broker rather than attempting a second lifecycle owner.
+
+## Socket and process boundary
+
+The gateway listens only on `<runtime-root>/runtime-gateway.sock` with exact mode `0600` inside an exact-mode `0700` runtime directory. Startup removes a stale socket only after validating its type, ownership, mode, canonical identity, and proving no process accepts a connection. Client calls pin and compare socket device/inode identity before and after each exchange.
+
+Managed service-plan version `3` installs four units per configured runtime in order:
+
+1. Auth Broker;
+2. Collection Manager;
+3. Runtime Gateway.
+4. outbound Runtime Agent.
+
+The gateway unit depends on the first two, starts through the same trusted `env --ignore-environment` launcher, uses a closed environment, and is restricted to Unix sockets. The Runtime Agent unit depends on the gateway and has its own owner-private status socket. The Provisioner reads back exact unit bytes, arguments, working directory, cgroup, process environment, socket ownership, and component health. Failure or cancellation uses the existing fenced service compensation and restores the complete prior service state exactly.
+
+Owner-only Unix modes isolate other operating-system users but do not isolate mutually hostile processes running as the same Unix account. Per-DSP service-account/container isolation remains a separate deployment requirement before a broader pilot.
+
+## Dashboard routing
+
+`dashboard/server/runtime-router.js` accepts only the installation object returned by `AccessControlService.runtimeFor()`. It requires:
+
+- an authenticated session;
+- an active current membership with the requested permission;
+- an active organization;
+- a ready installation whose organization ID matches the selected organization;
+- a valid server-owned runtime key;
+- pinned private installation and runtime directories.
+
+`local` continues to resolve to the existing local `DispatchClient`, preserving the reference installation. Managed keys resolve under the optional server-side `DISPATCH_INSTALLATIONS_ROOT`; absence of that root makes managed installations unavailable rather than selecting a fallback.
+
+Connectors may be cached by server-owned runtime key, but authorization is never cached: Access Control reloads session, membership, role, organization, and installation state on every HTTP request. A suspended membership/organization or changed installation therefore fails before use of a cached connector.
+
+## Current activation boundary
+
+Gateway readiness proves private transport identity and access to supervised Auth Broker/Collection Manager health. It does not by itself prove provider credentials, provider authentication, collection completeness, or a first publication, and it never writes installation state. The managed activation controller now uses gateway identity/health as one of nine independent gates; Access Control commits `ready` only after protected provider authentication, exact first-collection completion, publication audits, and final infrastructure read-back also pass.
+
+## Verification
+
+Run the component gate:
+
+```bash
+./runtime/gateway/scripts/verify
+```
+
+Run the dashboard routing gate:
+
+```bash
+npm run build --prefix dashboard
+npm test --prefix dashboard
+```
+
+Run the actual temporary user-systemd gate:
+
+```bash
+npm run verify:systemd --prefix core/provisioner
+```
+
+The real gate creates two isolated four-service fixture runtimes plus an independent central fixture hub, runs one through the durable seven-stage pipeline, validates cross-runtime identity rejection, exercises Agent-backed and direct gateway status plus `sync.run_now`, verifies worker execution and restart/start-limit behavior, rolls back the fixture units, and confirms the existing reference services retain their PIDs.

+# Runtime plugin host
+
+`installed.js` verifies a DSP-installed package, creates its scoped SDK client
+and loads its declared runtime entrypoint lazily. Actions require a manifest
+declaration and current authorization both before and after execution.
+
+`storage.js` supplies plugin-scoped database and file handles with private paths,
+bounded SQLite caches, at most eight open databases, bounded file reads and
+atomic file writes. Filesystem namespaces remain the enforcement boundary for
+executable plugin code; SDK path validation alone is not a sandbox.
+
+`index.js` remains the compatibility runtime until package installation and the
+scoped worker launcher are connected. It has not silently switched existing DSPs
+to installed code. Installed-package tests exercise the new loader independently
+with copied packages and injected SDK services.

+# Shared service connections
+
+DSP owners manage **Cortex** and **Paycom** under **Settings → Connections**.
+Each service has one credential set per DSP. Internal identities are fixed in
+`shared/contracts/src/connections.js`: Cortex uses `amazon-operations` and
+Paycom uses `paycom-main`. Existing profiles under those names are discovered
+without copying or reentering credentials. Existing collector definitions with
+other explicitly selected profiles retain their legacy behavior.
+
+The dashboard routes management requests through the authenticated, selected DSP
+runtime. It never accepts a runtime key, profile name, provider name, endpoint,
+or website URL from the credential form. Both the selected membership's Owner
+role and permission are required. Platform support viewing does not grant
+credential management. The DSP broker stores provider credentials in its
+existing encrypted vault; Core stores audit metadata only.
+
+Save, test, and disconnect return bounded status views. A save carries a short
+expiry and credentials travel in the live transport only. Login checks run in
+the broker and survive page navigation. After a broker restart an unfinished
+check is reported as unavailable, never as authenticated. Last-check timestamps
+describe a past verification, not a guarantee that the provider's session will
+remain valid. Current sessions are checked by the adapter when acquired.
+
+Paycom first enrollment still uses the existing onboarding worker to verify
+login and start workforce collection. Later credential changes use the same
+fixed vault profile. Connection management refuses changes while the profile is
+in use; try again after collection finishes. Replacement removes retained browser
+authentication before saving the new account. Disconnect removes credentials and
+browser state and prevents new acquisitions; previously collected data remains.
+
+## Feature access inside a DSP runtime
+
+Use the SDK's connection client from an authorized feature worker:
+
+```js
+const { createLocalDispatchClient } = require('./src');
+const dispatch = createLocalDispatchClient({ runtime: trustedRuntimePaths });
+
+const result = await dispatch.connections.withSession(
+  { service: 'cortex', feature: 'delivery-reports', runId, signal },
+  async ({ endpoint, protocol, access, signal }) => {
+    return collectReports({ endpoint, protocol, access, signal });
+  },
+);
+```
+
+The callback receives CDP access to an authenticated browser, never vault
+credentials. The helper renews its lease, propagates cancellation and renewal
+failure, and releases the browser on success or failure. Callbacks must honor
+the signal. The broker allows one operation per profile; `session_busy` means
+the caller should queue/retry through its scheduler, not start another login.
+The owning DSP runtime provides isolation. Feature authorization belongs in the
+feature's existing API/worker boundary; the feature label is attribution, not
+an independent authorization credential. Browser endpoints and leases must stay
+inside the runtime, not in dashboard responses.
+
+CDF and Paycom's default browser acquisition paths use this same service mapping.
+For low-level workers the shared `acquireServiceBrowser` helper returns a lease
+that the worker must renew and release itself.
+
+## Additional services and verification
+
+Add a service definition with fixed provider/profile identities and bounded
+credential fields, register its authentication adapter, and extend contract and
+integration coverage. The settings form is generated from the service registry.
+Changing credential limits also requires checking transport byte limits.
+
+MFA, CAPTCHA, and unfamiliar security challenges are human intervention states.
+This change reports them and supports retry after operator recovery; it does not
+provide an interactive challenge browser or collect verification codes in the
+dashboard. Unsupported adapter flows remain blocked rather than bypassed.

+# DSP process supervision
+
+This directory supervises the fixed built-in processes for one DSP: Auth Broker, Collection Manager, Runtime Gateway and Runtime Agent. A child failure stops the service, and systemd restarts it within bounded limits.
+
+The current backend is `native_service_v1`: separate Linux accounts and private data, shared immutable code, private Chrome debugging pipes, and per-service resource limits. `native-host-fixture.js` exercises two real accounts and file recovery. OCI definitions and examples remain for compatibility with previously installed releases.
+
+See [native DSP architecture and operations](../../core/installations/NATIVE-DSPS.md).

+# Temporary authentication workers
+
+`AuthenticationWorker` opens only the supplied DSP vault, uses the selected
+reviewed adapter and preserves existing persistent profiles and authentication
+guards. It returns browser access, never credentials. Renewal and shutdown reuse
+the current session manager; vault/maintenance locks remain held until browser
+cleanup succeeds.
+
+This is the worker implementation, not yet a process entrypoint or OS launcher.
+Tests use disposable encrypted vaults and simulated browser processes. They do
+not establish filesystem/process isolation. The host worker mount plan excludes
+vaults from ordinary plugin workers and excludes plugin databases from auth
+workers. The launcher and real isolation acceptance remain required before
+provisioning can use these workers.

+# Dispatch plugins
+
+Dispatch distributes reviewed, versioned packages. The platform catalog describes
+available plugins; clicking Install copies the selected package and its bundled
+SDK into that DSP's `plugins/<id>/versions/<version>/` directory. DSPs keep separate
+files and version receipts. Updating a distribution package does not update
+already installed DSPs. Owners explicitly choose Update when a newer version is
+available. The current build target is Paycom.
+
+Source belongs in `plugins/<id>/`: `frontend/` contains React pages, `backend/`
+contains provider code and login adapters, and `dispatch-plugin.json` declares
+permissions, pages, actions, jobs, collectors and schedules. Paycom's
+`backend/installed.js` exposes the standalone worker entrypoints. Its
+`dashboard/published.js` supplies the package's bounded published-data reader;
+legacy HTTP handlers remain for compatibility. Installed entrypoints execute in
+DSP-scoped workers, never through a require of DSP code in the Core process.
+
+`tooling/build-installed-plugin.mjs` builds backend and auth bundles, a separate
+frontend bundle, declarative collection definitions, a private SDK copy and a
+SHA-256 package inventory. `tooling/distribute-plugin-package.js` verifies a
+reviewed digest and adds an immutable version to the private platform catalog.
+DSP HTTP requests cannot supply executable paths, archives or arbitrary digests.
+
+Installation fences the DSP, drains work, copies and verifies code, snapshots
+plugin state, initializes/migrates the package in an isolated worker, writes its
+receipt and connection grants, applies collection definitions, and then records
+Core acknowledgement. Failed initialization restores the snapshot while fenced.
+Interrupted acknowledgement retries the same revision. An always-on DSP resumes
+after acknowledgement; an on-demand DSP returns to its existing execution queue.
+
+The owner page supports Install, Update, Disable, Enable and Uninstall. Signed
+platform-owner DSP views have the same owner authority and retain actor audit
+attribution. Disable and Uninstall immediately close the Core access gate,
+revoke sessions and stop schedules. Re-enable preserves the selected version and
+prior schedule state. All these actions retain credentials and business data.
+
+The independently loaded dashboard bundle is selected by acknowledged version
+and revision. Its authenticated asset endpoint verifies the installed inventory
+and current DSP authority, including after reads. The shell supplies the UI SDK,
+React and authenticated HTTP transport. Reviewed frontend JavaScript shares the
+shell origin; it is not a sandbox for arbitrary third-party UI code.
+
+Backend plugins use `dispatch-sdk` for connections, jobs, schedules, storage,
+publication, actions and structured progress. The SDK transport is bound to one
+DSP/plugin/revision/job; caller-supplied identity cannot widen its authority.
+Provider passwords remain in a DSP's encrypted auth vault and are exposed only
+to its separately isolated login worker. Plugin executables and private state
+are separate. See [the SDK](../sdk/README.md) and the
+[storage, operations and migration guide](../docs/plugin-runtime.md).
+
+Cortex remains automatic sign-in and owner-entered email verification. This
+plugin system adds no Cortex collection or synchronization.

+# Paycom Collector
+
+The Paycom collector gathers pay periods, employee rosters, canonical employee-period resource links, and employee timecards. Browser-backed methods authenticate through the Dispatch Auth Broker; deterministic link generation does not open Paycom. The collector is managed through the central Collection Manager and does not contain a scheduler, retry loop, credential vault, Hermes tool, or agent-specific integration.
+
+Shared provider ownership is described in [`../OVERVIEW.md`](../../README.md); this file covers Paycom-specific behavior.
+
+## Implemented methods
+
+| Method | Behavior |
+|---|---|
+| `collector.health` | Checks collector storage and Auth Broker availability without collecting. |
+| `pay-periods.discover` | Publishes the previous, current, and next biweekly periods projected from the approved Sunday anchor. |
+| `collection.resolve-targets` | Resolves standard collection dates and ranges into unique exact Paycom pay periods without collecting. |
+| `roster.snapshot` | Captures the exact Paycom employee-search API response, validates membership and schema, and publishes a complete roster. |
+| `roster.period` | Collects and publishes the authoritative roster for one exact Saturday period end. |
+| `resource-links.current-period` | Generates and publishes one canonical timecard-summary link per active current-period employee. |
+| `resource-links.period` | Generates the same complete link manifest for an exact roster period. |
+| `resource-links.audit` | Recomputes link coverage, URLs, roster binding, and publication integrity without browsing. |
+| `timecards.current-period` | Collects all active employees for the current period. |
+| `timecards.period` | Captures the requested period's roster, then collects exactly that historical membership for a caller-specified Saturday period end. |
+| `timecards.from-published-roster` | Collects an exact period from an already-published authoritative roster and fences activation to that roster revision. |
+| `timecards.audit` | Revalidates an exact-period roster/timecard binding, every stored record, complete membership, identities, hashes, and relational projections without browsing. |
+| `timecards.incremental` | Fills employees missing from an existing period snapshot and republishes complete current-roster membership. |
+| `reconcile.current-period` | Audits current-period timecard membership against the active roster without opening a browser. |
+| `sync.current-workforce` | Collects the complete visible current workforce and immediately publishes additions, edits, timecard changes, unknown transitions from absence, and explicit active/inactive transitions without deleting employees. |
+
+Timecards use the source's bounded `maxConcurrency` value (`1`–`6`, currently `6`) inside one broker-authenticated browser. Each worker now keeps one reusable CDP page target for multiple employees instead of creating and connecting a fresh target for every timecard. Nonessential image, font, and media resources are blocked, while document capture, DOM extraction, exact employee/period validation, complete-membership reconciliation, private staging, and atomic publication remain unchanged. A target is discarded and recreated before retrying a transient page failure.
+
+Successful timecard receipts include identifier-free performance counters: total browser time, collection time, worker and target-open counts, retry count, item p50/p95/max durations, and p50/p95/max phase timings for target open, navigation, response, load, response-body verification, readiness, extraction, and validation. They never include employee identities, provider URLs, or browser/authentication material.
+
+### Performance evidence
+
+Successful receipts provide bounded identifier-free wall-time, phase, worker, target-open, and retry aggregates so an operator can compare repeated supervised runs without exposing workforce data. Repository documentation does not retain one installation's workforce counts, run durations, current publication, or benchmark result. A concurrency or transport optimization is accepted only after repeated local measurements preserve exact target membership, persistence proof, atomic publication, cleanup, and lease release.
+
+## Standard collection interface
+
+The `paycom-main` source declares standard scopes `roster`, `links`, `timecards`, and `full`. It supports current, latest-complete, exact date, today/yesterday, inclusive range, rolling days/weeks, and exact-period selectors through the Dispatch SDK and unified CLI. A preview resolves dates to exact period-ending Saturdays without collecting. The standard `timecards` and `full` graphs publish the authoritative period roster once, collect timecards from that exact publication, fence activation to its ID and content hash, and run `timecards.audit` before downstream work. Verify mode audits existing timecard and/or resource-link publications without provider collection.
+
+See the [Collection Manager overview](../../../runtime/collection-manager/OVERVIEW.md) for collector registration and scheduling.
+
+For a new managed installation, Provisioner `0.5.0` loads this same reviewed definition, validates the code-owned release-tree/specification/executable digests and version `0.17.2`, fixes source/profile `paycom-main`, derives timezone from Access Control, and requires exact configuration attestation. Activation first starts or reuses one job-bound `paycom-periods` manager run, then runs the standard `current`/`full` workforce graph in `refresh` mode with a separate fenced activation-job idempotency key. The pay-period run and all five roster/timecard/link/audit runs must succeed, the manager database/queue must be clean and idle without critical sync alerts, and the managed sync must remain stopped/idle. The catalog-hashed `dispatch-paycom-activation-evidence` helper privately reads both stores and binds the current preparatory run plus exact workforce verification-run IDs, immutable publication-origin runs, active publication IDs, and content digests while binding the selected target to the preparatory pay-period run; Core invokes it through a bounded no-shell stdin/stdout adapter. Access Control persists the closed evidence bundle/digest atomically with `ready`. A stale worker cannot cancel shared work; only a current deadline holder may cancel and drain its exact run or batch. The managed sync stays stopped until a later explicit action.
+
+This activation uses the normal plugin publication transactions; there is no alternate activation writer or direct SQLite readiness shortcut. Failed or partial work remains unroutable, preserves prior active pointers, and cannot touch another runtime or the existing local EXMP store.
+
+Paycom `0.17.2` registers `paycom-main-workforce` with full-workforce `reconcileBatchSize=100` and `publishMode=additions_edits`. The compatibility `lookbackPeriods` setting is accepted only as `1`; larger values fail validation rather than being silently ignored. One public `dispatch sync start paycom-main-workforce` command ensures the managed Auth Broker is ready, advances the lifecycle generation, and queues the first tick immediately. Missing previously active employees publish as `lifecycleStatus=unknown` while retaining the last verified timecard and link; only explicit source evidence publishes `inactive`. Repeated start is idempotent, restart creates a new generation, and stop cancels active or queued sync work before returning.
+
+Every additions/edit tick performs a persisted read-back proof before commit. The active publication is re-audited, and every timecard selected and observed during the tick must have the same full normalized business hash in SQLite. Because that hash covers the complete timecard record, a new or edited punch, kind, time, allocation, exception, comment, waiver, approval, attestation, or total cannot be acknowledged unless the matching normalized value is active in the database. A mismatch fails the tick with `integrity_failed` and rolls back. `no_change` ticks prove the selected observations equal the existing active publication. Receipts expose explicit source `businessDate`/`businessTimezone`, aggregate `persistence` counts, and a transaction-bound aggregate `delta` covering timecard/day/punch/approval and data-quality transitions. Schema version 5 writes the same privacy-safe evidence to durable `paycom_sync_change_history`; it contains no employee identity, punch time, or record value. Repetitive no-change ledger rows older than 365 days compact to one per source/target/business date; published change rows are preserved.
+
+Version `0.17.0` added one absolute 120-second deadline per timecard item with worker-target retirement, one bounded retry, and sibling CDP cancellation after the first terminal error. Version `0.17.1` corrects period enforcement: the exact closed roster POST is rewritten to the requested deterministic current period, while the page's original UI default is not misclassified as authoritative provider-calendar evidence. Version `0.17.2` selects the one rendered punch-time child and ignores Paycom's hidden duplicate-time element while retaining fail-closed ambiguity checks. Successful receipts report `requestedPeriodEnforced:true`; `pay-periods.discover` remains deterministic. The collector rejects a source-local midnight rollover as `business_date_changed` before publication. Rendered navigation remains the production path; no fixed authenticated request path is enabled without full normalized parity evidence.
+
+Timecard collection stores a canonical URL without the browser-only cache buster and separates the normalized business hash from the raw source evidence hash. Existing `sourceSha256` values remain evidence hashes; new rows also carry `businessSha256` and per-row `observedAt`. SQLite schema version 4 extends private `paycom_sync_state` and `paycom_sync_employees` rows with timecard business hashes, oldest-first observation timestamps, full-verification timestamps, and a full-reconciliation cadence anchor.
+
+### Provider acceptance boundary
+
+The registered Paycom roster, timecard, and resource-link paths have undergone supervised provider acceptance. Operational run identifiers, business dates, workforce counts, punch aggregates, and current service state are local-only and intentionally excluded from this repository. Absence remains retention-only and is never interpreted as confirmed deletion.
+
+
+
+## Security boundary
+
+The collector receives an opaque loopback CDP endpoint only after the Auth Broker completes Paycom login. The collector never receives the broker credential object, password, or security PIN values.
+
+The collector has full post-login browser access and is therefore trusted with the resulting authenticated session, Paycom page data, cookies, and authorization state. Those values must never be printed, placed in a Collection Manager specification, or persisted in receipts.
+
+Browser leases use a short renewable TTL. The wrapper renews while collection is alive, releases normally in `finally`, and attempts immediate release on `SIGTERM` or `SIGINT`. If a collector is killed without cleanup, the lease expires automatically.
+
+## Authentication input and session reuse
+
+Paycom first checks the DSP-owned saved browser session in headless Chrome. If a
+fresh credential or numbered-PIN form requires input, the adapter asks the broker
+to close Chrome gracefully and reopen that same profile in a normal window. The
+broker permits one such transition before any credential submission, retaining
+exclusive profile ownership and the existing attempt guard.
+
+The normal window uses a private, authenticated Xvfb display and an explicit
+loopback debugging port. PIN fields are checked against their labels and hidden
+indices, focused through the operating system, checked for focus, and typed using
+X11 keyboard events. The actual Continue button receives an operating-system
+mouse click. Credential values remain in memory and the encrypted vault; input
+helper commands travel over stdin and are never logged. Primary credential form
+handling remains unchanged. Protected application verification and removal of
+credential-bearing tabs still precede collector handoff.
+
+The host must supply Xvfb, Python 3, libX11 and libXtst for fresh authentication;
+the managed directory runtime can use its existing read-only host tools. No new
+browser framework or continuously running display is required. Ordinary saved
+session collection stays headless. Display startup, browser errors, cancellation
+and lease release clean up owned processes and private Xauthority files. Browser
+profiles, credentials and collected databases remain in the DSP private roots.
+
+The separately configured [host browser assistance](../../../host/browser-assistance/README.md)
+can handle CAPTCHA during sign-in and the initial collection handoff. Unexpected
+verification, changed forms and provider rejection preserve verification guards.
+Local browser tests verify the input and session lifecycle; reuse of a live saved
+session is reported separately from fresh provider acceptance.
+
+## Temporary collection files
+
+Parsed publication candidates are private JSON files under
+`dsps/<dsp-id>/staging/plugins/paycom/<run-id>.attempt-<n>/`. Every collection
+removes its staging before reporting success, including folders from earlier
+attempts of that same run and a replay of an already committed result. Cleanup
+checks that the directories are gone and syncs their parent directory. Partial
+staging-write failures also remove their owned files. Other runs' staging is
+left to those runs.
+
+If cleanup cannot complete, the collector reports `stage_cleanup_failed` instead
+of acknowledging success. An already committed database update remains valid;
+an idempotent retry can finish cleanup. This covers normal completion, handled
+errors and retries; an uncatchable process or host failure may leave staging
+until that run is retried. Saved authentication state, durable collection receipts,
+retained data and SQLite-managed WAL/SHM files are outside staging cleanup.
+
+## Publication model
+
+Data is stored in:
+
+```text
+<data-root>/paycom/paycom.sqlite3
+```
+
+Collection follows:
+
+```text
+roster publication -> roster-bound collection -> private staging candidate
+                   -> validate -> SQLite transaction -> activate publication
+                   -> exact-period timecard audit -> remove staging
+```
+
+`active_publications` and `active_resource_link_publications` point to current versions. Prior publications are retained. Partial collection never advances an active pointer. Canonical timecard business records and user-facing links exclude the browser-only `dispatch_timecards` cache buster; raw HTML hashes remain separate evidence. See `references/data-contract.md`.
+
+## Collection Manager
+
+The registered source is `paycom-main`. It refers to Auth Broker profile `paycom-main`; that is only an identifier and contains no credentials.
+
+Inspect the collector through the existing management tool:
+
+```bash
+CTL=./runtime/collection-manager/bin/dispatch-collectionctl
+$CTL collector paycom
+$CTL methods paycom
+$CTL source paycom-main
+$CTL plans
+```
+
+Run non-authenticated checks:
+
+```bash
+$CTL run paycom-health
+$CTL run paycom-periods
+$CTL run paycom-current-resource-links
+$CTL run paycom-resource-links-audit
+$CTL run paycom-period-timecards-audit
+$CTL drain 60000        # only when the manager daemon is stopped
+```
+
+Queue authenticated collection:
+
+```bash
+$CTL run paycom-roster
+$CTL run paycom-current-timecards
+$CTL run paycom-incremental-timecards
+```
+
+Inspect or start the managed sync:
+
+```bash
+./bin/dispatch sync status paycom-main-workforce
+./bin/dispatch sync history paycom-main-workforce --limit 100 --offset 0
+./bin/dispatch sync start paycom-main-workforce
+./bin/dispatch workforce status
+./bin/dispatch workforce employees --lifecycle unknown --limit 50
+./bin/dispatch workforce timecards --limit 50
+./bin/dispatch workforce punches --date 2026-08-30 --kind in_day --from-time 10:01 --limit 50
+```
+
+The sync schema contains only `reconcileBatchSize`, `fullReconcileMinutes`, `lookbackPeriods`, and `publishMode`; deletion settings are absent and `lookbackPeriods` is fixed to `1` until a real multi-period publication contract exists. Terminal authentication projects `blocked` and uses delayed probes rather than duplicate full attempts. `dispatch workforce` reads the active roster, timecard summaries, canonical links, and protected minimal punch rows under one consistent SQLite snapshot without triggering collection. Live run and workforce evidence remains local-only.
+
+
+
+For a historical period, first inspect the method schema, then provide a bounded override file:
+
+```json
+{"periodEnd":"2026-09-05"}
+```
+
+```bash
+$CTL run paycom-period-timecards /absolute/path/to/input.json
+$CTL run paycom-period-timecards-from-roster /absolute/path/to/input.json
+$CTL run paycom-period-timecards-audit /absolute/path/to/input.json
+```
+
+The default historical period in the checked-in specification is an example/current bootstrap value. Use an override for another period.
+
+All collector plans remain manual. The Collection Manager owns the durable `paycom-main-workforce` interval, start/stop/restart/edit lifecycle, retries, coalescing, and run history.
+
+## Credential enrollment and live prerequisites
+
+Credentials must be enrolled locally using the Auth Broker's dedicated controlling-terminal wizard. Stop the broker, then run:
+
+```bash
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-paycom-credentials enroll
+```
+
+The command defaults to profile `paycom-main`, disables terminal echo, and requires every value twice before committing the encrypted profile. It returns metadata only. Never send credentials through chat or place them in argv, environment variables, redirected stdin, logs, tests, Collection Manager inputs, or ordinary files.
+
+After successful enrollment, restart the Auth Broker and verify the profile without exposing values:
+
+```bash
+./runtime/auth-broker/bin/dispatch-auth-brokerctl status paycom-main
+```
+
+A real roster or timecard run requires:
+
+1. A locally enrolled `paycom-main` Auth Broker profile.
+2. Current Paycom login, security-PIN, roster API, and timecard DOM layouts matching the fail-closed adapters.
+3. A successful `paycom-roster` run before dependency-bound standalone timecard plans can run.
+
+`dispatch sync start paycom-main-workforce` automatically starts and validates the managed Auth Broker before changing sync state. The broker may advance only the exact allowlisted Paycom security-profile campaign through its fixed three-step `Not Now`/warning/`Continue` sequence. Unknown setup pages, generic continue/skip controls, login-layout drift, CAPTCHA, MFA, lockout, unexpected URLs, malformed timecards, and unexpected roster members fail closed. A returned strict subset is observation-only and retains every absent prior employee.
+
+Current, incremental, and roster-bound exact-period timecards require an audited active roster whose target is the same period end. The candidate records that roster publication ID and content hash; publication rechecks both inside the activation transaction, so a changed roster fails closed. Standalone `timecards.period` retains its self-contained historical membership capture for callers that have not first published an exact-period roster.
+
+## Component commands
+
+```bash
+./tooling/build
+./tooling/test
+./tooling/verify
+./tooling/health
+```
+
+The Collection Manager specification is:
+
+```text
+config/collection-manager.json
+```
+
+Apply it with:
+
+```bash
+$CTL apply ./plugins/paycom/backend/config/collection-manager.json
+```
+
+`apply` is an upsert and does not prune unrelated manager records.

+
+# Paycom collector data contract
+
+The collector owns `<data-root>/paycom/paycom.sqlite3`.
+
+Each collection creates a private staging candidate, validates it, publishes it in one SQLite transaction, advances the appropriate active pointer, verifies row counts and database integrity, and then removes staging. Prior publications remain available for rollback or audit. Read interfaces use `PaycomStore.activeWorkforce()` in read-only mode: roster, timecards, and resource links are read under one SQLite snapshot and their roster publication bindings are checked before any public DTO is returned.
+
+Published kinds:
+
+- `pay_periods`: previous/current/next biweekly period boundaries.
+- `roster`: complete employee records, including active and active-driver flags.
+- `timecards`: one complete active-employee snapshot for a period; legacy rows retain validated Paycom DOM projections and raw source hashes, while new semantic rows also store canonical cache-buster-free URLs, normalized business hashes, and per-row observation times.
+- `resource_links`: one canonical URL per employee who is active in the exact bound roster publication and period. Link publications are stored in dedicated tables, use a separate active pointer, and contain no credentials, sessions, cookies, or browser-only cache-busting parameters.
+
+## Stored business fields
+
+Normalized roster records may contain:
+
+- employee code and name;
+- canonical lifecycle status plus explicit Paycom active state;
+- department and delivery-station codes/descriptions;
+- position title, pay class, terminal group, pay type, and primary supervisor;
+- roster-summary missing-punch, total-hours, overtime-hours, employee-approval, and supervisor-approval values;
+- driver-department, driver-position, and active-driver classifications.
+
+A private timecard row contains employee identity, source/business hashes, observation time, and a validated normalized record. The normalized record contains:
+
+- period start/end/key, weekly totals, and period total hours;
+- exactly 14 day rows with date/weekday, pay code, allocations, hours, total hours, dollar amount, exceptions, waiver state, comments, unresolved slots, and missing-punch state;
+- zero or more additional rows for the same period;
+- punches with slot/type, displayed/actual/rounded time, clock code/name, comments, provenance availability, approval/change-request status, current/requested direction, operation, and change note;
+- approval, attestation, and meal-waiver table projections when present;
+- a fixed canonical Paycom source route and extraction format/version.
+
+Resource-link rows contain employee code and one canonical `paycom.timecard.summary` HTTPS URL for the bound period. Pay-period rows contain start, end, key, and `previous`/`current`/`next` relation.
+
+## Public workforce boundary
+
+Applications must use `dispatch.workforce` rather than reading these tables. The public employee DTO intentionally exposes only identity, lifecycle, department, delivery station, position, pay class/type, supervisor, and driver classification. The public timecard DTO exposes period bounds, total hours, missing-day count, observation time, lifecycle, and canonical link. Raw punches, comments, allocations, exceptions, approvals, attestations, waivers, source/business hashes, publication IDs, and record JSON remain protected plugin data.
+
+## Sync persistence proof
+
+For `additions_edits`, the collector does not treat browser collection or a successful SQLite write call as proof that detailed timecards were saved. Before the transaction commits, it:
+
+1. reloads and fully audits the active roster-bound timecard publication;
+2. recalculates its content hash from persisted `record_json` values and relational projections;
+3. compares every timecard selected and observed during the tick with the active row using the full normalized business hash;
+4. requires the configured source-timezone date to exist in every active timecard;
+5. emits aggregate daily punch coverage only after all checks pass.
+
+The business hash includes the entire normalized record except the browser-only cache-buster in the source URL. Punch additions/edits, kinds, displayed/actual/rounded times, clock provenance, change-request details, allocations, exceptions, comments, waivers, approvals, attestations, and totals therefore participate in equality. A mismatch raises `integrity_failed`; the encompassing SQLite transaction rolls back active pointers and sync observation state. A valid `no_change` tick performs the same selected-row comparison against the already-active publication.
+
+The receipt's `persistence` object is aggregate-only: `verified`, coverage date, publication metadata, active timecard/date-row counts, selected/persisted/mismatch counts, total punches, each normalized punch-kind count, and timecards containing `IN DAY`. It contains no employee code, name, punch time, clock, comment, allocation, or exception value. Shadow/baseline-required/preview modes do not claim persistence because they do not activate business data.
+
+The same transaction computes a `delta` by comparing the prior active timecard graph with the candidate graph before commit. The closed aggregate shape counts roster and timecard additions/changes/removals, changed day sections, punch additions/edits/removals, added/removed punch kinds, missing-punch and unresolved-slot transitions, and changed approval, attestation, meal-waiver, additional-row, comment, and total sections. Punch identity is used only inside the transaction; the result contains no employee code, date-row key, slot, time, or business value. `no_change` produces a zero mutation delta while still reporting the unchanged active timecard count.
+
+## Publication and retention metadata
+
+The database also stores publication/run identity, collected/activated timestamps, row counts, metadata, content hashes, active pointers, attempt fences, and roster bindings. The active publication plus one prior publication is retained per kind/target for rollback and audit, so physical table row counts can exceed the current workforce count. Private sync tables retain one source/target checkpoint plus per-employee profile, summary, and timecard fingerprints and observation/full-verification timestamps for change detection. Schema version 5 adds `paycom_sync_change_history`: one idempotent privacy-safe row per committed ready run containing source/target, business date/timezone, observed time, disposition, validated aggregate delta JSON, and persistence JSON. It deliberately has no employee identity or punch-detail columns and survives full-publication pruning. Bounded post-commit housekeeping compacts only `no_change` rows older than 365 days to one row per source/target/business date; published/change rows and recent rows are retained.
+
+Schema version 4 introduced private `paycom_sync_state` and `paycom_sync_employees` observation tables. They hold source, profile, summary, normalized timecard fingerprints and observation/full-verification times. Legacy removal columns remain only for schema compatibility and are always cleared to zero/null; sync never confirms or publishes deletions. Published roster records carry canonical `lifecycleStatus`: visible positive status maps to `active` or `inactive`, while a previously active employee absent from the active-only source becomes `unknown`. Unknown records retain their last verified timecard/link state. A visible return maps unknown→active; only positive inactive evidence removes active-only dependent membership.
+
+The public protected Workforce punch query does not expose these private tables. It derives a minimum DTO from one coherent `activeWorkforce()` read transaction and emits employee name, lifecycle, date, normalized kind, local `HH:MM`, actual/displayed basis, and observation/collection context only. Employee code, source URL, punch comments, allocations, exceptions, approvals, publication identity, and hashes remain private.
+
+The authenticated dashboard also uses the protected Workforce daily projection. Daily rows include employee identity, date, grouped punch times and their actual/displayed basis, reported hours, missing-punch state, a derived condition, and observation time. An employee lookup may return up to 14 of these same projected rows alongside the existing employee profile and period summary. It never exposes raw record JSON, comments, clocks, allocations, approval tables, attestations, waivers, hashes, or publication identifiers. Both dashboard employee endpoints require `workforce.read` and use the session-selected DSP runtime.
+
+Daily date lookup selects the saved roster-bound period containing the requested date when available, including previously collected periods. It never initiates collection. Uncollected dates return `available: false` with no employee rows; dates with no activity in a saved period remain distinguishable. Explicit daily sorting occurs before pagination; time columns compare the first source-order punch, hours compare numerically, and empty values stay last for ascending and descending orders.
+
+No password, PIN, cookie, authorization header, CDP endpoint, lease token, or browser profile path may be stored in this database or emitted in a receipt.

+# Dispatch theme packs
+
+Settings → Theme separates the visual **Theme** from its **Appearance** (Light,
+Dark, or System). Precision is the default. Preferences are stored in localStorage
+under `dispatch:theme:v1:<authenticated-user-id>` as `{ themeId, appearance }`.
+They are local to that account on that browser, persist across DSP workspaces,
+and do not change anyone else's settings. Sign-out returns to the default light
+appearance. Missing packs and invalid saved values fall back to Precision.
+
+## Add a theme
+
+From `dashboard`:
+
+```sh
+cp -R frontend/src/themes/starter frontend/src/themes/packs/my-theme
+npm run build
+npm run preview:ui
+```
+
+Rename `id`, `name`, `description`, and the matching CSS selectors. Restart an
+existing preview/server after building: it snapshots browser assets at startup.
+The registry discovers every `packs/*/index.ts` manifest automatically, so no
+Settings or application logic needs editing. The starter itself is not registered.
+
+A pack folder can contain CSS, local assets, and optional React components. It is
+source code included in the application build; this is not a runtime download or
+an upload/import facility. Keep ids stable so saved selections remain valid.
+
+## Design tokens and CSS
+
+[`tokens.css`](./tokens.css) is the public starting palette and geometry contract.
+Override just the values you need. Useful groups:
+
+- Surfaces: `--background`, `--card`, `--popover`, `--sidebar`, `--surface`.
+- Text: `--foreground`, `--muted-foreground`, `--primary-foreground`.
+- Controls: `--primary`, `--primary-hover`, `--selection`, `--accent`, `--border`,
+  `--input`, `--ring`, `--radius`, `--control-height`.
+- Status: `--success`, `--warning`, `--destructive`, their surface/border tokens,
+  and `--danger-button` (white button text).
+- Layout: `--font-family`, `--heading-size`, `--body-size`, `--sidebar-width`,
+  `--page-gutter`, `--table-row-padding`, `--motion-duration`.
+- DSP identity: `--slate`, `--sage`, `--violet`, `--steel` and their `-surface` tokens.
+
+Always scope selectors to `:root[data-theme-pack="your-id"]`. Add
+`[data-theme="dark"]` for dark overrides. Include `.theme-preview-scope` with the
+same attributes to theme the menu previews. This specificity also ensures pack
+values override defaults regardless of CSS import order. Never use global `:root`
+or unscoped component selectors in a pack: all registered CSS is bundled together.
+
+The same semantic tokens style React pages and the existing Backups/Updates
+controllers, including native dialogs, menus, alerts, inputs, and progress states.
+Preview schematics are code-native and read these tokens. Light uses a white canvas;
+dark uses graphite with more legible accent and status colors.
+
+## Optional shared presentation components
+
+A manifest can replace `ShellLayout`, `PageHeading`, or `DspAvatar` in its
+`components` property. Unspecified components inherit Dispatch's defaults.
+Contracts are exported from [`types.ts`](./types.ts), and unwrapped default
+components are available from [`sdk.ts`](./sdk.ts). Example:
+
+```tsx
+import type { PageHeadingProps } from "@/themes/types";
+
+export function MyHeading({ title, description, children }: PageHeadingProps) {
+  return (
+    <div className="my-heading">
+      <div>
+        <h1 tabIndex={-1}>{title}</h1>
+        {description && <p>{description}</p>}
+      </div>
+      {children && <div>{children}</div>}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+Then add `components: { PageHeading: MyHeading }` to the manifest. Do not call the
+_themed_ component from its replacement, which would recurse; compose the exported
+`DefaultPageHeading` when you want to extend the existing presentation.
+
+`ShellLayout` receives navigation, mobileNavigation, header, banner, and children.
+Render every slot, retain `<main id="main-content" tabIndex={-1}>`, and provide
+usable desktop/mobile navigation. Dispatch owns route permissions, the account
+menu, mobile sheet behavior, DSP support-view controls, and page content. Keep that
+logic in the application rather than copying it into themes.
+
+`DspAvatar` replaces React DSP avatars. Legacy backup avatars share the identity
+helper and CSS tokens; they do not mount custom React avatar components. Similarly,
+legacy backup headings follow CSS tokens rather than the React PageHeading slot.
+Theme those surfaces with scoped CSS. Full page replacements are outside this API.
+
+## Verify a pack
+
+Test both appearances and System; refresh and switch accounts to check persistence.
+Inspect DSPs, Backups (including native dialogs), Updates, Team, and Settings at
+1536×1024 and 390×844. Check text contrast, focus, keyboard navigation, long names,
+empty states, menus, and reduced motion. Theme switching must not call operation
+APIs. Run `npm run build` and `npm run test:ui`; commit the rebuilt browser assets
+with the theme source.
