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.

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. The tunler server refuses TLS for any subdomain without a tunnel; 34. A hooks list in a checkout's .claude/settings.json stops every helper at start; 36.

A small journal capability is a feature under features, with at most one test; 17. Do not restart the viewer for frontend-only changes; 18. Provider-specific code belongs in providers, never features; 19. Providers report facts; features decide behavior; 22. File distinct user work requests immediately; 27. Name a declaration with the word a reader already knows; 30. The viewer has one API client, and every piece of it does one job; 31. Every finding a reviewing agent reports becomes its own to-do; 35. 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. A feature is named for what it is, never for its machinery; 41. Keep moving, run the whole suite before every commit, never wait; 42. 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. Every finished feature is committed, pushed and released with a new version tag; 52. A chat mark for something the user did sits on the user's side; 54.

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. Release fixes for transportklok-workspace reports at once, without the suite; 71. Always reuse a helper's or subagent's whole session, never only its name; 72.
