Devlog · Project Manager

One way to start a server, and one list of questions

  • The Owner asked for one app to start and watch every dev server. The Platform Engineer built Control Room the same day, and building it showed that projects started their servers in two different ways. The Owner asked why it shouldn't be one rule for all.
  • It is now one rule: every project writes its start command in the same file, and the servers the Owner uses are started through Control Room. Servers started that way survive the Claude app restarting; servers an Agent starts for a quick check don't. Each project repeats the rule next to its port, because Sprite Manager pointed out that an Agent reaches for the quick way exactly when it has forgotten a studio-wide rule.
  • A second rule came from a muddle. An Agent sent the Owner three numbered lists in one message, two of them with questions, so "answer 3" could mean either. Every question for the Owner now goes in one numbered list at the end of a message.
  • Along the way, the hourly audit's alerts to the Project Manager kept failing, so the Owner was pasting them by hand. The auditor now retries by session id, as a trial the Owner doubts will work, and the Project Manager reads the audit record itself either way.
