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.

## Respect Indentation Rules
|
|
|
|
Indentation makes the scope hierarchy visible. Each level of indentation represents a nested scope. Never collapse short statements onto one line to save space.
|
|
|
|
**Incorrect (collapsed structure):**
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public class CommentWidget extends TextWidget {
|
|
public CommentWidget(ParentWidget parent, String text) { super(parent, text); }
|
|
public String render() throws Exception { return ""; }
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public void process() { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { if (valid(i)) { execute(i); } } }
|
|
|
|
if (condition) return false; else return true;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Correct (proper indentation):**
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public class CommentWidget extends TextWidget {
|
|
|
|
public CommentWidget(ParentWidget parent, String text) {
|
|
super(parent, text);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public String render() throws Exception {
|
|
return "";
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public void process() {
|
|
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
|
|
if (valid(i)) {
|
|
execute(i);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if (condition) {
|
|
return false;
|
|
} else {
|
|
return true;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Why maintain indentation?**
|
|
- Visual scanning relies on indentation
|
|
- Structure is immediately apparent
|
|
- Debugging is easier when scope is visible
|
|
- Merges are cleaner with consistent formatting
|
