Three independently ugly bugs that all fed the same log flood:
* Electron's `WebFrameMain.send` writes every "Render frame was disposed"
to stderr via `console.error`. When the worker fans a second
agent-event past a reloading renderer, we produced thousands of
identical lines and stalled the main loop on stderr I/O. Added a
`mainFrame.detached` guard so the send is short-circuited before
Electron's own catch block fires, and installed a targeted filter in
`suppress-warnings.ts` (now actually imported from the entry point)
so the specific `console.error("Error sending from webFrameMain:"…)`
noise never reaches the terminal. Any other payload still surfaces.
* `dispatchAgentMessage` accepted the human-reader sentinel as a wake
target when an agent replied to `__board__` — `wakeAgentIfPossible`
then called `db.getAgent("__board__")`, threw, and the dispatcher
kept repeating on every send. Strip `HUMAN_SENDER_ID` at
`resolveMessageWakeTargets`, and keep a defense-in-depth guard in the
heartbeat so a stray caller (future automation fan-out) cannot
reintroduce the crash.
* Pi's skills loader rejects any SKILL.md whose frontmatter `name`
diverges from its parent directory. The four bundled `my-writing-style`
copies declared `name: writing-style-skill`, so every install emitted
a warning and dropped the skill. They also lived as orphan gitlinks
(mode 160000 without .gitmodules), and the global `*.md` gitignore
hid every other SKILL.md from version control. Fixed the frontmatter
to match the dir, converted the dangling submodules to plain trees,
and allowlisted `builtin-skills/**/*.md` so a fresh clone carries the
catalogue instead of silently losing it.

Avoid Forcing Clients to Depend on Unused Code
Classes used together should be in the same component. Classes not used together should be in separate components. Forcing a client to depend on things it doesn't use creates unnecessary coupling.
Incorrect (monolithic utility package):
// utils/src/main/java/com/app/utils/
├── StringUtils.java
├── DateUtils.java
├── FileUtils.java
├── HttpUtils.java
├── CryptoUtils.java
├── ImageUtils.java // Depends on ImageMagick
└── PdfUtils.java // Depends on iText
// pom.xml for utils module
<dependencies>
<dependency>imagemagick</dependency> <!-- 50MB -->
<dependency>itext-pdf</dependency> <!-- 20MB -->
<dependency>bouncycastle</dependency> <!-- 10MB -->
</dependencies>
// A service that only needs StringUtils
// must now depend on all 80MB of transitive dependencies
Correct (split by usage pattern):
// string-utils/
├── StringUtils.java
└── pom.xml // No heavy dependencies
// date-utils/
├── DateUtils.java
└── pom.xml
// image-processing/
├── ImageUtils.java
├── ImageResizer.java
└── pom.xml // ImageMagick dependency only here
// pdf-generation/
├── PdfUtils.java
├── PdfBuilder.java
└── pom.xml // iText dependency only here
// crypto/
├── CryptoUtils.java
├── HashingService.java
└── pom.xml // BouncyCastle dependency only here
// Services import only what they need
// order-service depends on string-utils, date-utils (2MB)
// report-service depends on string-utils, pdf-generation (22MB)
Benefits:
- Clients only pull dependencies they actually use
- Smaller deployment artifacts
- Changes to image processing don't redeploy order service
