How it extends (without turning into spaghetti)

You add capabilities at the edges (skills, dashboards, artifacts) while keeping the core stable.
Add capabilities
New skill
One responsibility, clear inputs/outputs, logs raw source when it matters (auditability).
New dashboard module
Visualize state already in vhagar.db / projects / memory. Keep private behind Tunnel + Access.
New artifact surface
Deck/blog post lives in repo → Pages deploy → sharable URL.
Keep the system sane
The pattern generalizes
This isn’t “Alex’s weird setup” — it’s a blueprint: brokered execution + durable state + distribution.
