Three findings from verifying the #41 merge against the live box with `deploy.sh --check`. One commit because they share the deploy tier, its documentation, and the first test file that tier ever had. **1. Generated palette output was tracked, and sync would have restored it over a live theme.** `dotfiles/zz-blankpad/niri/.config/niri/noctalia.kdl` (`b3d3df4`, 2026-10-18) sat byte-identical to the live file — harmless while the palette held, and `--check` was already proposing `ADOPT … noctalia.kdl`. The moment the theme changed, the next sync would have quarantined the live file and reinstated 2026-10-18's colours. `deploy.sh` now refuses the class outright (`SKIP … (generated theme output)`), `.gitignore` carries the matching patterns so it cannot be re-added, and the file is untracked. **2. A `zz` override older than the file it overrides.** `dotfiles/zz-blankpad/niri/…/ layout.kdl` held focus ring `width 2` / `#e01b24` (`7b7dbf5`, 2026-10-17) while base absorbed `b3d3df4` (2026-10-18): `width 4`, `#ff8c00`. Stow order makes `zz-*` win, and a cross-package owner change relinks *silently* — no quarantine, no warning. Live was linked to base, the newer intent, so `--check` printed `RELINK … layout.kdl` every run and one unattended `deploy.sh` would have reverted the amber focus ring. The duplicate is deleted; base owns the file. **3. Two topologies I had asserted and not measured.** The media law and the `.gitignore` comment both said `~/.local/share/noctalia/wallpapers` symlinks into the repo, so deleting the tracked copies would blank the desktop. Measured: it is a real directory of real files that Noctalia owns; the repo held a duplicate, and the #41 merge deleted that duplicate without the desktop flickering. The correct general law replaces the false one — untracking a path deletes the file in every other checkout, `git rm --cached` on the branch notwithstanding — and the restore procedure now points at the app's directory, which `deploy.sh` does not manage. The guard is `tests/deploy.bats`, black-box over exit status, stdout, the symlink shape under `$HOME`, and the quarantine directory. Before the change: test 1 and test 2 fail, test 2 because the live palette really is quarantined and reverted. After: 4/4, including the control that an ordinary identical config is still adopted — an exclusion nobody can turn off is just a broken tool. Verification: `bats tests/` 66/66, `kb-lint.sh omp-docs` 0 violations, `kb-coverage.py` 0 issues, and live `deploy.sh --check` on blankpad reports `SKIP … (generated theme output)` with `actions=0` instead of `ADOPT … noctalia.kdl`. The real `deploy.sh` run that clears the remaining `RELINK` lines is deliberately left until this is in main — running it from a worktree would repoint live symlinks into a checkout the heartbeat reaps.

AI Disclosures:
- Slop rating: 3/5 - Actively using, actively de-slopping, repository still mostly AI owned
- Completeness: Unfinished, planning planned, no plan yet
- Datacenter model/spend: Less than $5 of Deepseek 4.1 Flash
- Local model: Qwen 3.8 27B
slop rating of 3 or higher indicates human reading is a waste of time outside of this README, and that you might as well ask an agent for help with this.
slop rating 3 indicates Frank is comfortable using this for professional use -- but barely.
The Fleet
| Host | Role | IP |
|---|---|---|
| Workstation | Client box (CachyOS, Niri/Wayland) | — |
| Dankclaw | Server (Podman, reverse proxy, Gitea, NPU) | 192.168.0.143 |
| Dankserver | LLM inference backend | 192.168.0.235 |
The workstation hosts the primary checkout — this repository lives at ~/.omp/ and drives the OMP agent harness.

What Lives Here
Config in, state out. Everything tracked is something an agent reads or writes. Runtime databases (*.db, *.sqlite), logs, caches, and session state are git-ignored — git history captures configuration changes, not agent heartbeat.
Quick Start
| Task | How |
|---|---|
| Read the knowledge base | omp-docs/index.md — every concept linked from here |
| Check agent config | agent/config.yml + agent/models.yml |
| Lint the KB | scripts/kb-lint.sh (OKF v0.1 conformance) |
| View change log | omp-docs/log.md |
| Run a pre-commit | .githooks/pre-commit |
Conventions
- OKF v0.1 — every doc file carries YAML frontmatter with a
type:field.index.mdfiles are directory listings (no frontmatter). - Progressive disclosure —
index.mdis a landing page; drill into subdirectories for detail. - Verified facts — stamped with
verified:when probed against the live fleet. Trust over memory. - Single config source —
~/.omp/agent/models.ymlis the only model registry; OMP is the primary harness and there is no second copy to keep in sync.
Legacy Notes
omp-docs/pi/ and omp-docs/core/ retain general documentation about the pi-coding-agent harness (its config format, packages, skill system) for reference. OMP at ~/.omp/ is the live harness; managed skills live in ~/.omp/agent/managed-skills/.
