 ## Aktywne
 
+- [ ] Dostarczyć [ticket-010](project/ticket-010/README.md): poprawić wykrywanie
+  głównej JVM JetBrains i dodać bezpieczne sterowanie dokładnymi wtyczkami AI
+  oraz helperami Qoder bez zamykania okien IDE.
+
 - [x] Dostarczyć [ticket-009](project/ticket-009/README.md): dodać trwałe,
   zarządzalne przypięcia katalogów projektów Compose, które pozostają widoczne
   w diagnostyce, ale są chronione przed czyszczeniem osieroconych obciążeń.

+# Ticket 010: Harden JetBrains AI helper control
+
+- **ID**: ticket-010
+- **Owner**: unresolved:human
+- **Status**: IN_PROGRESS
+- **Workflow state**: PUBLICATION
+- **Created**: 2026-08-20
+
+## Goal and scope
+
+Correct JetBrains main-process discovery so terminal commands and helpers are
+never diagnosed as IDE JVMs. Add a read-only-by-default AI control that can
+persistently disable the exact Qoder and JetBrains AI Assistant plugin IDs and
+gracefully stop only identity-verified Qoder helpers, without terminating the
+main JVM or closing IDE windows.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] AC-01: Main IDE discovery uses the executable identity, not arbitrary
+  command arguments, and excludes terminal shells plus MCP/native helpers.
+- [x] AC-02: `fixos jetbrains ai` reports exact active Qoder helpers, inferred
+  JetBrains configuration and disabled-plugin state without mutation by default.
+- [x] AC-03: Plugin changes target only `com.qoder` and `com.intellij.ml.llm`,
+  use atomic writes, preserve unrelated entries and require explicit apply.
+- [x] AC-04: Helper termination revalidates PID creation time, executable,
+  parent relationship and parent main-IDE identity before sending TERM.
+- [x] AC-05: Human/JSON output, dry-run, confirmation, idempotence and refusal
+  paths are covered by deterministic tests.
+- [x] AC-06: Live verification reports only PyCharm PID 143907, confirms exact
+  Qoder respawns can be stopped and both plugin IDs are disabled for the next
+  IDE start; full validation passes.
+

+# Participant: codex (AI agent)
+
+## Understanding
+
+Live diagnosis found a Qoder child using about 1.2 GB RSS and 10--11% CPU and a
+separate JetBrains AI quota failure every 23 seconds in the main JVM. Qoder was
+already pending disablement but remained loaded in the long-running IDE. The
+doctor also falsely selected terminal shells because it searched every command
+argument for the word `pycharm`.
+
+## Execution plan
+
+1. Match a main JetBrains process only from its launcher identity.
+2. Add an evidence-led AI status/disable/helper-stop service with exact identity
+   revalidation and atomic plugin configuration writes.
+3. Expose it as a read-only-by-default `fixos jetbrains ai` command.
+4. Add deterministic discovery, dry-run, mutation, idempotence and safety tests.
+5. Verify live state without closing windows and publish through Validator App.
+
+## Actual changes
+
+- Initialized the bounded ticket and recorded SESSION_EXECUTION_AUTHORIZATION
+  from the request to execute this work.
+- Recorded authorization to stop the exact Qoder helper and disable the two
+  confirmed plugin IDs while preserving the main IDE JVM and every open window.
+- Before implementation, revalidated and terminated Qoder PID 156099 with TERM.
+  PyCharm PID 143907 remained alive and Qoder did not restart.
+- Added `com.intellij.ml.llm` to the existing disabled plugin configuration;
+  `com.qoder` was already present. This takes full effect at the next IDE start.
+- Replaced command-text matching with exact JetBrains launcher matching. Live
+  doctor output now contains only the real PyCharm PID 143907 instead of shell,
+  terminal, MCP and diagnostic-command false positives.
+- Added `fixos jetbrains ai` status, dry-run and explicit-apply flows. It infers
+  only active-product configuration, atomically preserves disabled plugin
+  entries and revalidates Qoder PID, creation time, executable, parent PID and
+  parent IDE identity before TERM. It never uses SIGKILL or signals the JVM.
+- Live application discovered that the already-loaded plugin respawns Qoder
+  about once per minute until IDE restart. FixOS successfully stopped exact
+  respawn PIDs 3221424 and 3290938; PyCharm PID 143907 stayed alive. Both plugin
+  IDs are persistently disabled, so respawn and the quota loop will not return
+  after the next ordinary IDE start.
+- Focused validation passes 25 tests. Full validation passes 535 tests with 5
+  skipped and 16 deselected; scoped Ruff, compileall and governance are clean.
+- Advanced the validated implementation to PUBLICATION for exact-head review.
+
+## Blockers
+
+- None inside the recorded intent; proceed without a second confirmation.
+- New authority remains required for destructive action, secret access, new
+  external coordination, material objective expansion and trusted merge.

+# Ticket Changelog (ticket-010)
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-08-20
+
+- Initial governance scaffold created.
+- No human participant identity or content was generated.
+- Accepted the bounded main-process discovery and AI helper-control repair.
+- Recorded the successful live Qoder stop and pending plugin disablement without
+  closing or restarting the PyCharm JVM.
+- Fixed false-positive main-JVM discovery from terminal and command arguments.
+- Added read-only status plus explicit plugin-disable and exact Qoder TERM flows.
+- Verified both disabled plugin IDs, one exact PyCharm diagnosis and safe handling
+  of helpers respawned by the already-loaded plugin until the next IDE restart.
