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.

General Clean Code Principles
Critical Rules
G5: DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
Every piece of knowledge has one authoritative representation.
# Bad - duplication
tax_rate = 0.0825
ca_total = subtotal * 1.0825
ny_total = subtotal * 1.07
# Good - single source of truth
TAX_RATES = {"CA": 0.0825, "NY": 0.07}
def calculate_total(subtotal: float, state: str) -> float:
return subtotal * (1 + TAX_RATES[state])
G16: No Obscured Intent
Don't be clever. Be clear.
# Bad - what does this do?
return (x & 0x0F) << 4 | (y & 0x0F)
# Good - obvious intent
return pack_coordinates(x, y)
G23: Prefer Polymorphism to If/Else
# Bad - will grow forever
def calculate_pay(employee):
if employee.type == "SALARIED":
return employee.salary
elif employee.type == "HOURLY":
return employee.hours * employee.rate
elif employee.type == "COMMISSIONED":
return employee.base + employee.commission
# Good - open/closed principle
class SalariedEmployee:
def calculate_pay(self): return self.salary
class HourlyEmployee:
def calculate_pay(self): return self.hours * self.rate
class CommissionedEmployee:
def calculate_pay(self): return self.base + self.commission
G25: Replace Magic Numbers with Named Constants
# Bad
if elapsed_time > 86400:
...
# Good
SECONDS_PER_DAY = 86400
if elapsed_time > SECONDS_PER_DAY:
...
G30: Functions Should Do One Thing
If you can extract another function, your function does more than one thing.
G36: Law of Demeter (Avoid Train Wrecks)
# Bad - reaching through multiple objects
output_dir = context.options.scratch_dir.absolute_path
# Good - one dot
output_dir = context.get_scratch_dir()
Enforcement Checklist
When reviewing AI-generated code, verify:
- No duplication (G5)
- Clear intent, no magic numbers (G16, G25)
- Polymorphism over conditionals (G23)
- Functions do one thing (G30)
- No Law of Demeter violations (G36)
- Boundary conditions handled (G3)
- Dead code removed (G9)
