feat: add opt-in brain-room and shared voice interfaces

[Mauryanx]

Intent

Complete the minimal Firstmate/brain-desk/courier integration from the approved hardening execution plan while preserving ordinary worker orchestration and OS-enforced privacy. The five-zone inventory found that Firstmate launcher-to-brain-desk/result and notification-to-courier approval/delivery wiring were still missing. Main owns this work, independently of camera-ready work on the second mate. No new orchestration framework, live security rollout, paid API calls, VM provisioning, credential changes or destructive cleanup. Worker environment scrubbing/sandbox changes and automatic Firstmate/worker restart after disk unlock remain deferred.

First, make sure its orchestration abilities and validation tools are still working at top peak performance, yet keep privacy and security first.

The current experience is pretty good, with me directly sending to the first mate via link, and we can keep that one-to-one connection.

Yeah I like that. I think that's great. Go ahead with this.

Context of the approved recommendation: preserve the direct Linq conversation and inbound receiver; owner-directed replies/polls remain automatic through a fast deterministic owner-only sending boundary, with send credentials isolated from ordinary agents and no extra AI step. Other recipients retain exact-message approval. Verify latency and functionality before activation. No live cutover is authorized.

enable the merged github app reader in firsmate. i will do the isolated test vm later tomoroow.do everyhting else so it is ready for testing when i set up the vm. ie do everyhting else in the ececution chain until the blocker left is the isolated vm tests

2026-10-08 follow-up ask, after an independent review of every hardening lane: "Yes we need to be efficient. Just try to use the principles that Kun also uses. I think looking at it as 'What is the smallest safe way to fix it today?' (most efficient) is good. I don't think we need to Uber engineer when we can make precise informed best-practice changes, similar to how Kun does for First Mate." "When I say smallest it also means best, right? Most efficient, not just some patch just for today, right? The best possible way to solve it for us." Then, approving the execution plan built from the review (fix every lane now, drop the separate-UID CI-reader broker, cancel the five stuck validation runs so fixes start immediately, one coordinated validation-service restart once the new CI reader is ready, move the active hardening lanes to Opus 5.5 high): "I agree with your execution plan. Go ahead and do everything you recommended."

Substance of that approved plan for this Firstmate integration lane, as the independent review recommended it: restore the broad test routing for the away-mode daemon instead of narrowing it to two suites; make the opt-in shared-interface wake path not hang forever when the Firstmate home is a symlink or the staging is rejected; stop the brain desk timeout from SIGKILLing sudo (terminate, wait, then kill) so the desk child cannot survive; let the brain desk answer filter accept ordinary answers such as "Dr. Cohen is the dentist" and "The meeting was at 3:30 pm" and stop one bad fact from rejecting the whole answer; keep a single owner for the courier spool contract by removing Firstmate's duplicate courier proposal/receipt client and its unused submit/results/attachments/polls code, with the wedge-alarm courier path delivering through firstmate-voice's existing fm-notify (which owns the spool wire) and without the immediately-polled delivery check; avoid check-then-rename overwrites in the boundary-file publication; give the brain desk a real role or defer it; move cross-project status narrative out of the configuration doc and shrink the long shared-interface docstring; and fill the brain journal's Firstmate input directory (/srv/brain/journal-input, which the five-room installer points the journal at but nothing populates) with an atomic copy of Firstmate's backlog, learnings and reports, routing the morning-brief questions, answers and nudges through the new fixed brainctl verbs (questions digest, answer, loops nudges, loops add) behind the existing opt-in so the current direct path is unchanged until activation.

What Changed

• Add an opt-in brain-room client for validated desk answers, fixed morning-brief commands, and atomic journal exports, with bounded privileged calls.
• Preserve staged group and ACL permissions across voice conversation and wake-file updates; stop rejected shared-interface requests from retrying indefinitely and preserve locks held by live peers.
• Add offline client and shared-interface regressions, register brain-desk test routing, and document notification delivery through firstmate-voice’s existing fm-notify courier path.

Risk Assessment

🚨 High: Required workflow integration remains incomplete, rejected sharing configurations can still hang, and the export adds an unresolved private-data disclosure.

Testing

The initial five-script run encountered a short watcher wait and a self-imposed runner timeout; after correcting the waits and rerunning the affected scripts, local checks passed. Direct CLI checks, prior-version reproductions and transcripts were retained, fixtures were removed, and VM/courier acceptance remains untested.

• Live validation: ⚠️ inconclusive - 14 of 16 scenarios driven live against the product

Scenario	Result	Live	Evidence
Run the brain client disabled or without endpoints; it refuses without publishing or invoking a room.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 9: opt-in off does no I/O and enabled missing endpoints refuse.
Publish a desk question, then reuse its name or supply a symlinked request directory; the original prompt remains intact.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, lines 7 and 13: exclusive 0640 prompt publication and symlinked-ancestor refusal.
Feed ordinary abbreviations, times and decimals alongside trailing instructions; the client retains safe facts and withholds unsafe facts individually.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 12; brain-before-fix.txt reproduces rejection failure with the pre-fix executable.
Supply malformed responses, invalid citations or failed room output; the client refuses without exposing raw output.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 11: malformed results, unsafe citations, bad input and room failure expose nothing.
Invoke questions, nudges, answer and loop-add; the client dispatches the fixed arguments and preserves validated response status.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 8: fixed brainctl argv, stdin and status handling, and non-JSON refusal.
Export approved journal records, repeat unchanged, then edit a record; only selected records are atomically published with reviewed permissions and timestamps.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 10: journal export replaces only journal records atomically as 0640 with source mtimes.
Capture and answer conversation turns across crashes and owner restart; saved turns recover while unauthorized owners are refused.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, lines 18 and 22: crash recovery, duplicate races, wrong-session refusals and successor-owner acceptance.
Publish shared journals, locks and immutable notes under umask 0077; reviewed access survives replacement and restart while policy and private artifacts stay private.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 26: staged modes, groups and effective named-peer ACLs survive atomic writes and fresh processes.
Retry a saved capture with traversal-only state access, then write-and-traverse access; the first refuses and the second queues without directory-list permission.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 27: real capture reclaims abandoned locks while state listing stays denied.
Drain and acknowledge shared conversation wakes; saved turns remain queued and accepted turns retire without losing recovery generations or shared access.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 28: real wake drain holds saved turns and acknowledges accepted turns with shared metadata intact.
Capture while either shared lock or its recursive steal lock names a live unsignalable PID; capture preserves the lock and retries successfully after release.	✅ pass	live	Direct shared conversation CLI checks, lines 1–8; lock-before-fix.txt shows the older executable reclaiming the live owner.
Capture through a symlinked home with missing or wrong-mode wake templates; it returns promptly, preserves the turn and succeeds after repair.	✅ pass	live	Direct shared conversation CLI checks, lines 9–16; staging-before-fix.txt reproduces the earlier hang.
Change the away-mode daemon in a disposable repository; the real test runner selects broad related coverage.	✅ pass	live	Broad daemon test selection: actual --list --changed output includes daemon, wake, watcher-lock, away-return and lifecycle suites.
Append and drain concurrent wakes, restart a watcher and interrupt handling; durable records survive until acknowledged.	✅ pass	live	Passing wake rerun, lines 23–24 and 82: concurrent append/drain preservation, stopped-watcher catch-up and interruption safety.

• 🚨 bin/fm-brain-desk.py:60 - The required “routing the morning-brief questions, answers and nudges through the new fixed brainctl verbs” and “fill the brain journal's Firstmate input directory” remain unwired. This hunk adds manually invoked client operations, but no production workflow calls them: the morning-brief owner still uses only fm-bearings-snapshot.sh. Setting FM_BRAIN_DESK_ENABLED=1 therefore neither routes that workflow nor exports its records. Related sites: bin/fm-brain-desk.py:60 (verbs), :183 (desk launcher), :214 (control calls), :227 (export); docs/configuration.md:550 (claimed role). Complete the required opt-in workflow integration, or obtain explicit authorization to defer it.
• 🚨 bin/fm-wake-lib.sh:485 - Rejected staging can still cause endless retries. With a valid wake-lock template but a missing or incorrectly permissioned wake template, owner-directory preparation succeeds, PID access preparation fails here, and fm_lock_try_create converts that failure to contention. fm_lock_acquire_wait then retries indefinitely; capture eventually times out with its input saved but unannounced. This affects both queue and recovery locks. Preserve terminal configuration failures through bin/fm-wake-lib.sh:565 (preparation), :959 (self-reclaim), :975 (steal acquisition), :1023 (stale reclaim), and :1041 (wait loop), rather than fixing only owner-directory rejection.
• ⚠️ bin/fm-brain-desk.py:62 - Simplification/privacy: exporting data/captain.md exceeds the requested export of “backlog, learnings and reports.” The new operation copies the complete private preferences file into the brain journal interface as group-readable data, while repository instructions identify it as captain-private and establish no authorization for this additional disclosure. No stated requirement needs this component; remove captain.md from the export allowlist.

• 🚨 bin/fm-wake-lib.sh:485 - The test-round-1 shared-transport fix (3a6396e) enables cross-UID wake locks but retains a stale-owner check that treats signal permission denial as death. If the owner drain holds the queue lock while the transport captures a turn, kill -0 against the owner's live PID returns EPERM. All three liveness checks accept that as dead, allowing the transport to remove the live lock and enter concurrently; an acknowledgement can then overwrite its newly appended wake. Distinguish permission denial from proven absence at the shared lock acquisition/recheck boundary without granting signal or private-process access. Related sites: bin/fm-wake-lib.sh:66 (lossy liveness check), :474 (shared owner directory), :967 and :987 (acquisition checks), :620 (final stale-owner check), :978 (recursive steal acquisition), :1839 (queue consumer), :1866 (recovery-lock consumer). This affects both .wake-queue.lock and .watcher-down.lock and their steal locks. Also cover bin/fm_shared_interface.py:101 and :103: recursive recovery can create .steal.steal owner directories/PID files, which currently remain private and make a live peer's PID unreadable. The latest review fix propagates configuration errors but leaves these serialization failures reachable.

Scenario	Result	Live	Evidence
Run the brain client disabled or without endpoints; it refuses without publishing or invoking a room.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 9: opt-in off does no I/O and enabled missing endpoints refuse.
Publish a desk question, then reuse its name or supply a symlinked request directory; the original prompt remains intact.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, lines 7 and 13: exclusive 0640 prompt publication and symlinked-ancestor refusal.
Feed ordinary abbreviations, times and decimals alongside trailing instructions; the client retains safe facts and withholds unsafe facts individually.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 12; brain-before-fix.txt reproduces rejection failure with the pre-fix executable.
Supply malformed responses, invalid citations or failed room output; the client refuses without exposing raw output.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 11: malformed results, unsafe citations, bad input and room failure expose nothing.
Invoke questions, nudges, answer and loop-add; the client dispatches the fixed arguments and preserves validated response status.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 8: fixed brainctl argv, stdin and status handling, and non-JSON refusal.
Export approved journal records, repeat unchanged, then edit a record; only selected records are atomically published with reviewed permissions and timestamps.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 10: journal export replaces only journal records atomically as 0640 with source mtimes.
Capture and answer conversation turns across crashes and owner restart; saved turns recover while unauthorized owners are refused.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, lines 18 and 22: crash recovery, duplicate races, wrong-session refusals and successor-owner acceptance.
Publish shared journals, locks and immutable notes under umask 0077; reviewed access survives replacement and restart while policy and private artifacts stay private.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 26: staged modes, groups and effective named-peer ACLs survive atomic writes and fresh processes.
Retry a saved capture with traversal-only state access, then write-and-traverse access; the first refuses and the second queues without directory-list permission.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 27: real capture reclaims abandoned locks while state listing stays denied.
Drain and acknowledge shared conversation wakes; saved turns remain queued and accepted turns retire without losing recovery generations or shared access.	✅ pass	live	Initial targeted transcript, line 28: real wake drain holds saved turns and acknowledges accepted turns with shared metadata intact.
Capture while either shared lock or its recursive steal lock names a live unsignalable PID; capture preserves the lock and retries successfully after release.	✅ pass	live	Direct shared conversation CLI checks, lines 1–8; lock-before-fix.txt shows the older executable reclaiming the live owner.
Capture through a symlinked home with missing or wrong-mode wake templates; it returns promptly, preserves the turn and succeeds after repair.	✅ pass	live	Direct shared conversation CLI checks, lines 9–16; staging-before-fix.txt reproduces the earlier hang.
Change the away-mode daemon in a disposable repository; the real test runner selects broad related coverage.	✅ pass	live	Broad daemon test selection: actual --list --changed output includes daemon, wake, watcher-lock, away-return and lifecycle suites.
Append and drain concurrent wakes, restart a watcher and interrupt handling; durable records survive until acknowledged.	✅ pass	live	Passing wake rerun, lines 23–24 and 82: concurrent append/drain preservation, stopped-watcher catch-up and interruption safety.

• Ran the real bin/fm-test-run.sh --list --changed --base HEAD in a disposable repository with only fm-supervise-daemon.sh changed.
• Checked the specified installed paths, service identities, PATH tools and PID 1 signal permission; recorded capabilities.
• Removed disposable fixtures and verified that only the intentional watcher-test wait adjustment remains.
