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.

Source Dependencies Point Inward Only
The Dependency Rule states that source code dependencies can only point inward toward higher-level policies. Inner circles must never reference outer circles.
Incorrect (inner layer imports from outer layer):
// domain/entities/Order.ts - ENTITY LAYER
import { OrderRepository } from '../../infrastructure/OrderRepository'
import { EmailService } from '../../infrastructure/EmailService'
export class Order {
constructor(
private repo: OrderRepository, // Changes to repo implementation break Order
private email: EmailService
) {}
async complete() {
await this.repo.save(this)
await this.email.notify(this.customerId) // Cannot test without email server
}
}
Correct (inner layer defines interface, outer layer implements):
// domain/entities/Order.ts - ENTITY LAYER
export interface OrderPersistence {
save(order: Order): Promise<void>
}
export interface NotificationPort {
notify(customerId: string): Promise<void>
}
export class Order {
constructor(
private repo: OrderPersistence,
private email: NotificationPort
) {}
async complete() {
await this.repo.save(this)
await this.email.notify(this.customerId)
}
}
// infrastructure/OrderRepository.ts - INFRASTRUCTURE LAYER
import { Order, OrderPersistence } from '../domain/entities/Order'
export class OrderRepository implements OrderPersistence {
async save(order: Order): Promise<void> { /* DB implementation */ }
}
Benefits:
- Inner layers remain stable when outer layers change
- Business rules can be tested without infrastructure
- Infrastructure can be swapped without touching domain code
