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.

Use Simple Data Structures Across Boundaries
Data crossing architectural boundaries should be simple, isolated data structures. Never pass entities, database rows, or framework objects across boundaries.
Incorrect (entity crosses boundary):
# domain/entities/user.py
class User:
def __init__(self, id, email, password_hash, created_at):
self.id = id
self.email = email
self.password_hash = password_hash # Sensitive data
self.created_at = created_at
# interface_adapters/controllers/user_controller.py
class UserController:
def get_user(self, user_id):
user = self.use_case.get_user(user_id)
return jsonify(user.__dict__) # Entity exposed to HTTP layer, leaks password_hash
Correct (DTOs cross boundaries):
# application/dto/user_response.py
@dataclass
class UserResponse:
id: str
email: str
member_since: str # Formatted for presentation
# application/usecases/get_user.py
class GetUserUseCase:
def execute(self, user_id: str) -> UserResponse:
user = self.repository.find_by_id(user_id)
return UserResponse(
id=user.id,
email=user.email,
member_since=user.created_at.strftime("%B %Y")
)
# interface_adapters/controllers/user_controller.py
class UserController:
def get_user(self, user_id):
response = self.use_case.execute(user_id)
return jsonify(asdict(response)) # Only safe, formatted data
When NOT to use this pattern:
- Within the same architectural layer, entities can flow freely
- Performance-critical paths may need optimized data transfer
