It starts the worker (src/worker.py, which runs runner/worker.py; engine/worker.py stays as an alias for supervisors started before 2.201) and starts it again whenever it exits: RELOAD on a new build, RELAUNCH to restart the agent, STOP to end, HEAL or a quick crash to roll back a build through journal heal. The worker holds everything else: seating the session, the start-up confirm typed through the typist, services, viewer, update check, check-in, and the one-time relaunch of sessions launched before agents/terminal.py LAUNCH. agents/terminal.py holds only journal-side helpers. The server (serve.py) still runs the engines and re-execs itself on a .py change.

This live session runs the installed copy in .journal/journal.pyz; 18. cProfile inflates the slow-request profiles about tenfold; 20. A slim supervisor holds the agent and a worker reloads on every build; 23. Every upgrade brings system sequences and their triggers in line with the code; 24. An answer followed by tool calls can be missing from Claude's transcript; 25. A designer's install packs the whole tree, half-done server edits included; 26. Claude Code reads agent profiles when a session starts; 27. Running src/journal.py against the live .journal root starts a second server; 28. The designer agent type exists, so design work goes to a subagent; 29. Codex's transcript records the end of every exec session, polled or not; 30.

Write clean code - one funnel per kind of operation, never the same method twice; 36. Clean, DRY, idiomatic before it is committed, never after it is complained about; 37. Close every to-do explicitly with todo done or a Journal commit trailer; 38. Never change the git branch until the user says so, by name; 39. Use only registered exclamation response tags; 40.

Every user-facing text passes the formatters before it leaves the server; 43. A request or hook over its budget is fixed before the next release; 45. No prose words as names in code - said, says, heard, spoke, told, shown, became; 46. Only commit and push once the whole journal is proven to boot; 47. The journal sets itself up once, when the server starts, never per command; 48. The viewer is built from its component library, and pages only compose it; 49. A dialog whose content grows keeps one fixed height, and its content scrolls; 50. Everything the user does is doable in the viewer; 51.

Features wait as pull requests until approved; only hotfixes merge at once; 62. The voice profile shapes only the agent's chat speech, never code or text; 63. A small design is drawn once and the user approves it, with no critique rounds; 64. A finished feature is merged into main without waiting for approval; 65. Run only new and affected tests while working; the whole suite only before main; 66. The journal never slows the agent down; 68. The orchestrator approves the designer's designs itself; 70.

{"content": "fact 20 \u2014 A slim supervisor holds the agent and a worker reloads on every build \u2014 Since 2.118.0 (2026-09-23). src/supervisor.py is standard library only and never reloads: journal claude hands its process over to it (os.execv), and it owns the pty and the agent process, relays the terminal, writes the printed and screen captures, listens on the typist socket, restarts the agent in the same session from a relaunch command written to its runtime folder while a restart is pending, and stops it with escalation while draining the pty (an agent cannot finish exiting on macOS while its output is unread). It starts the worker (src/worker.py, which runs runner/worker.py; engine/worker.py stays as an alias for supervisors started before 2.201) and starts it again whenever it exits: RELOAD on a new build, RELAUNCH to restart the agent, STOP to end, HEAL or a quick crash to roll back a build through journal heal. The worker holds everything else: seating the session, the start-up confirm typed through the typist, services, viewer, update check, check-in, and the one-time relaunch of sessions launched before agents/terminal.py LAUNCH. agents/terminal.py holds only journal-side helpers. The server (serve.py) still runs the engines and re-execs itself on a .py change. When the agent exits, the supervisor runs journal ended, which puts set-aside hooks back and stops the server when no session is left.; fact 24 \u2014 An answer followed by tool calls can be missing from Claude's\u2026 \u2014 Seen 2026-09-24 for messages 9391-9404: text blocks opening with [!reply:n] that were followed by tool calls never appeared in the session's jsonl (only thinking and tool_use rows did), so the journal never saw them and the replies were lost.

A place (page, tab, group, sidebar item) is a short noun: Settings, Project, Browser, Services, Updates, Plugins; never 'This project' or a phrase. A button is a verb for what happens: Stop, Install, Copy link, Pause the plan. A heading names what the reader looks at, and its options finish its sentence: 'Trigger when' / 'A word is written'.
