Ran staticcheck across all three Go modules for the first time. server (23k lines) and desktop came back clean. agent had seven findings, and one of them was not tidiness. `stopGrace = 10 * time.Second` was declared and wired to nothing. Stop() cancels the context, cmd.Cancel kills the process tree, and then Stop() blocks on cmd.Wait() - which, with no WaitDelay set, waits not just for the process but for every writer of its stdout pipe to close. One grandchild still holding that pipe hangs Wait, hangs Stop, and on the desktop app that is the tray's Quit never returning. The constant named the intent and nothing read it. cmd.WaitDelay = stopGrace is the line that was missing. The rest were real but small: an unused field in the live relay, an unused sleep helper in the pump, and "net/url" imported twice under two names - both genuinely used, in two functions doing the same job for the same reason, so they are unified rather than one deleted. My first pass deleted the wrong one on a bad grep and the build caught it immediately. Three findings are suppressed rather than fixed, with the reason stated: - Two "error strings should not end with punctuation". Both are multi-line messages a shop operator reads at a counter, not errors anything wraps. ST1005 exists because wrapped errors concatenate mid-sentence; stripping the full stops would run three sentences together to satisfy a rule that does not apply. - A deliberately nil context in a pump test - the point of the test is that an unconnected client does not panic. It already carried //nolint:staticcheck, which is golangci-lint's directive and staticcheck ignores, which is why it kept being reported. Also tidied agent/go.mod, which had paho and x/sys marked indirect while being imported directly. All three modules clean, all suites pass: 21 Go packages, 226 engine tests.

Behavision agent (Go)
The half of the edge install that touches the network. The Python engine keeps the cameras and the models; this keeps the tray icon, the UI shell, the MQTT connection and the offline queue.
┌─ agent (Go) ───────────────────┐ ┌─ engine (Python) ────────┐

Why the split
Go cannot run ONNX, OpenCV or FAISS, so the engine stays Python and ships frozen. Go is here for what it is actually better at: a durable queue that survives a store's internet dropping, a supervised child process, and one language shared with the server so the MQTT contract has a single definition.
Why not a Windows service
A service runs in session 0 and cannot draw a tray icon — that is Windows session isolation, not a library limitation. Since the product is "user starts and stops it from the tray", the agent is a normal user-session process that spawns the engine as a child. That also means it never needs elevation at runtime: starting a child process does not, controlling a service does.
internal/engine is written so a service wrapper can be added later without
touching the supervision logic.
Layout
main.go entry point, mode dispatch
internal/engine start/stop/supervise the Python engine, health polling
internal/spool durable event queue (survives restart and outage)
internal/mqtt broker client, publishes from the spool
internal/config tenant identity, broker settings, credentials
frontend/ React UI served into the WebView
Build
go build ./... # agent alone
wails build # agent + frontend, once the UI is added
