wire-quiet

Operator kill switch for every wire desktop toast surface. Both file (<config_dir>/quiet) and env (WIRE_NO_TOASTS=1) routes funnel into a single guard at os_notify::toast. Disabled means disabled — no dedup leakage.

When to use

• User says "wire quiet", "shut up wire", "stop wire notifications", "mute toasts"
• User is in a focus / demo / screen-share context
• Sustained probe-loss notifications (RFC-004, post-v0.15) are excessive

Surface

wire quiet on — silence

wire quiet on

Touches <config_dir>/quiet. Idempotent. Output reports the file path (per-session).

wire quiet off — restore

wire quiet off

Removes the file. Idempotent (no error if already off). Warns if WIRE_NO_TOASTS=1 is still set in the env — file-OFF doesn't override env-ON.

wire quiet status — report

wire quiet status [--json]

Reports: on / off + mechanism (via file / via env / none).

Multi-session / fleet-wide silence

If the operator wants every local agent session's daemon silenced:

# Global env (launchd) — covers future-spawned daemons
launchctl setenv WIRE_NO_TOASTS 1
 
# Per-session file — covers every existing config_dir
find ~/Library/Application\ Support/wire/sessions/by-key -maxdepth 4 \
     -type d -name wire -exec touch {}/quiet \;
 
# Force respawn so the env propagates
pkill -f 'wire daemon'

Reverse

launchctl unsetenv WIRE_NO_TOASTS
wire quiet off

• v0.14.1 release notes (README.md §"Status — v0.14.1") for the kill-switch design.
• After wire upgrade, restart or reconnect each host-pinned wire mcp subprocess so it uses the new binary.
