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):
src/
├── controllers/
│ ├── UserController.ts
│ ├── OrderController.ts
│ └── ProductController.ts
├── services/
│ ├── UserService.ts
│ ├── OrderService.ts
│ └── ProductService.ts
├── repositories/
│ ├── UserRepository.ts
│ ├── OrderRepository.ts
│ └── ProductRepository.ts
├── models/
│ ├── User.ts
│ ├── Order.ts
│ └── Product.ts
└── utils/
└── helpers.ts
# This screams "MVC framework" not "e-commerce system"
Correct (domain-oriented structure):
src/
├── ordering/
│ ├── domain/
│ │ ├── Order.ts
│ │ ├── OrderLine.ts
│ │ └── OrderStatus.ts
│ ├── application/
│ │ ├── PlaceOrderUseCase.ts
│ │ ├── CancelOrderUseCase.ts
│ │ └── ports/
│ │ ├── OrderRepository.ts
│ │ └── PaymentGateway.ts
│ └── infrastructure/
│ ├── PostgresOrderRepository.ts
│ └── StripePaymentGateway.ts
├── inventory/
│ ├── domain/
│ ├── application/
│ └── infrastructure/
├── customers/
│ ├── domain/
│ ├── application/
│ └── infrastructure/
└── shared/
└── kernel/
├── Money.ts
└── EntityId.ts
# 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
