Implementation Safety Confirmation & Non-Breaking Strategy
Verification of existing config and safe implementation approach that keeps konsole/konui running
Output
Implementation Safety Confirmation
✓ CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR Already Configured Correctly
Verified: Current implementation passes CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR per-spawn
// config.ts (lines 33-46) - WILL NOT CHANGE export const CLAUDE_ACCOUNTS: ClaudeAccount[] = [ { id: "meichtry", configDir: "/konnectvol/.konsole/claude/meichtry", // ✓ EXISTS label: "meichtry.com", tier: "20x", }, { id: "blueboy", configDir: "/konnectvol/.konsole/claude/blueboy", // ✓ EXISTS label: "blueboy.technology", tier: "20x", }, ];

How Claude CLI is Currently Invoked

✓ Non-Breaking Implementation Strategy
Confirmed Constraints
| Constraint | Status |
|---|---|
| CLAUDE_ACCOUNTS stays unchanged config.ts lines 33-46 will not be modified |
✓ |
| Account directories stay at current paths /konnectvol/.konsole/claude/{meichtry,blueboy}/ |
✓ |
| CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR per-spawn pattern preserved No changes to how Claude CLI is invoked |
✓ |
| Claude will NOT restart konsole or konui User will be asked to restart between phases |
✓ |
| konsole/konui keep working until final restart Additive changes only, no breaking deletions mid-implementation |
✓ |
Updated Implementation Strategy: Additive-First
PHASE 1: ADD new code (konsole keeps working) ├── Create account-sessions.ts (NEW file, not imported yet) ├── Create account-sessions.test.ts (tests only) └── No changes to existing running code → No restart needed PHASE 2: ADD more new code (konsole keeps working) ├── Add standby-turn.ts (NEW file, not imported yet) ├── Add tests for new code └── No changes to existing running code → No restart needed PHASE 3: WIRE UP new code (requires restart) ├── Update main.ts to initialize new session manager ├── Update stream.ts to use getActiveSession() ├── Add new route for standby turns └── Old code still present as fallback → USER RESTART REQUESTED (konsole) PHASE 4: UI UPDATES (requires restart) ├── Rename "Quick Turn" → "Standby Turn" in UI ├── Add mode toggle to dashboard └── Update New Session routing → USER RESTART REQUESTED (konui) PHASE 5: CLEANUP (final restart) ├── Delete session-pool.ts (no longer imported) ├── Remove old Quick Turn code paths ├── Clean up config.ts (remove deprecated options) └── Final documentation → USER RESTART REQUESTED (konsole + konui)
Key Safety Principles
1
Never modify running code without restart
All new code is added as separate files. Only imports are added to main.ts at restart points.
All new code is added as separate files. Only imports are added to main.ts at restart points.
2
Old code remains as fallback
session-pool.ts, quick-turn.ts, account-switcher.ts stay in place until Phase 5 cleanup.
session-pool.ts, quick-turn.ts, account-switcher.ts stay in place until Phase 5 cleanup.
3
Test before wiring
New code is fully tested before being connected. If tests fail, old code continues to work.

4
User controls all restarts
Claude will NOT restart konsole or konui. Kontask will ask you to restart when ready.

5
Config directories are sacred
CLAUDE_ACCOUNTS and /konnectvol/.konsole/claude/* directories will NOT be touched.
CLAUDE_ACCOUNTS and /konnectvol/.konsole/claude/* directories will NOT be touched.
Restart Points Summary
| After Phase | Restart Needed | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 & 2 | None | New files only, not imported |
| Phase 3 | konsole | New session manager activated |
| Phase 4 | konui | UI updates for Standby Turn |
| Phase 5 | konsole + konui | Cleanup complete, full new system |
Summary
The existing configuration is correct and will not be changed. Implementation will follow an additive-first strategy where new code is added in separate files, tested, and only wired up at explicit restart points controlled by you. konsole and konui will keep working throughout the process.
