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.

## Structure Should Scream the Domain Not the Framework
|
|
|
|
The folder structure should communicate what the system does, not what framework it uses. Looking at the top-level directories should reveal the business domain.
|
|
|
|
**Incorrect (framework-oriented structure):**
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|

|

|
|

|
|
|
|
# This screams "MVC framework" not "e-commerce system"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Correct (domain-oriented structure):**
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
src/
|
|
├── ordering/
|
|
│ ├── domain/
|

|
# This screams "e-commerce with ordering, inventory, customers"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Benefits:**
|
|
- New developers understand the domain immediately
|
|
- Related code lives together, enabling focused changes
|
|
- Frameworks become implementation details, not organizing principles
