📋 Page Load Flow
Step 1: DOMContentLoaded event fires
initSupabase() + checkServiceStatus() + loadConnectionStatus()
Step 2: cockpit-identity-sync.js initializes
CockpitIdentitySync.init() → detectCockpit() → detectUserId()
Step 3: Identity normalization
agentNameNormalizer.getCanonicalName("Ryan Barbaric") → "ryan"
Step 4: Auto-verify stored connections
autoVerifyStoredConnections() → GitHub API check → setVerifiedState()
Step 5: Cross-cockpit sync
syncConnectionsFromOtherCockpits() → Check Agent R & Commander data
Step 6: Start periodic sync
setInterval(syncData, 5000) → Update every 5 seconds
Auto-Verification Logic
// GitHub Auto-Verify (Autonomous)
const githubData = localStorage.getItem('ryan_github_connection');
if (githubData) {
const parsed = JSON.parse(githubData);
if (!parsed.verified && parsed.username) {
// Silent background verification
const response = await fetch(
`https://api.github.com/orgs/overkor-tek/members/${parsed.username}`
);
if (response.status === 204) {
// User is verified member - auto-update!
localStorage.setItem('ryan_github_connection', JSON.stringify({
username: parsed.username,
verified: true,
verifiedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
method: 'auto'
}));
setVerifiedState('github', parsed.username);
console.log('✅ GitHub auto-verified!');
}
}
}
