feat(marks): one primitive for operator judgment, so the loop stops running through chat
Five mechanisms existed to get one question next to one artifact. Three of
them were the same thing wearing different clothes, and the third of the three
had no code at all: the operator picked winners out of a 270-image set and
told the session in conversation. `sindra-finalists` is 86 items, every one
captioned, with the selection encoded in the booth's NAME.
A MARK is operator judgment attached to a target — the booth, or one item in
it, addressed by the `rel` U1 established as item identity. Three shapes:
pick — one of N options a session declared in advance (was: an ask)
note — free text the operator volunteered (had nothing)
flag — this one (had nothing)
One file per booth, one read path, one place openness is computed, one slot
beside the artifact. The storage shape is the operator's call (2026-09-21) and
follows from U4: "does this booth still owe an answer?" gets asked per booth
per sweep tick and per card per index render, so it has to be one read and not
a walk of a booth holding 270 files. Marks are also not links.md — that is an
O_APPEND content-hash log because 17 handles write it concurrently, whereas a
booth's marks see one session and one operator, so locking the common path
costs nothing.
The 2026-09-09 pick semantics are preserved by NOT rewriting them: partial
answers legal, a blank question lands in `unanswered`, `complete` false until
every question has a pick, the only refusal a submission carrying nothing.
`write_answer` split into the pure `build_answer` plus the storage that went
away with the sidecar; `normalize_ask` untouched.
Three findings worth naming, because each was caught by a gate rather than by
reading the diff again:
* The seam review found `inline.place` indexes asks by SUBSCRIPT — the only
consumer in the service that does — so a frozen dataclass breaks it, and
`inline.py` had been missing from the contract's scope entirely.
* A retargeted test found a regression in the legacy importer: a malformed
sidecar that renders "broken" today would have silently vanished on
migration. It now imports carrying its reason.
* A partially-answered pick counted as CLOSED on the index while the panel
beside it rendered it "partial" — the two disagreed about one booth. Open
is the reading U4 needs, and it is declared rather than smuggled in.
`GET /b/<n>/marks.json` is new and load-bearing: sessions on other hosts polled
`<stem>.answer.json` over HTTP, so removing the sidecar without it would have
taken that capability away. `/b/<n>/asks` 308s to `/marks`. Legacy sidecars are
imported, never deleted — four are live and unanswered.
Also records the operator's deterministic-order directive as a cross-cutting v1
invariant, in ROADMAP.md with the per-collection rule table and as CLAUDE.md
invariant 6. The Booth's job is comparison; an order that moves between renders
does not crash, it misfiles the judgment.
242 tests. No version bump — a release tier for this is the operator's call.

fix(booth): release was painting over the delete ×, which was unclickable
Operator: "release button covers delete button". Measured before touching
anything: release 58x24 at (323,266), × 30x30 at (349,268) — 30x22 px of
overlap on a 30px button, and `elementFromPoint` at the ×'s centre returned the
release form. The × I added yesterday was 100% unclickable from the moment it
shipped.
Cause: both were `position:absolute` on the same corner, each with its own
guessed offset, and `release` is the later sibling so it won. Replaced with one
flex row positioned once — release left, × right at the card corner where the
ephemeral lane's × already lives, so muscle memory transfers and neither can
drift back on top of the other when a label changes width.
Verified by measurement, not inspection: overlap 0 px, and clicks at each
control's centre now land on that control. The ephemeral lane's × and ★ were
re-checked and are unaffected.
ADDS scripts/layout-probe.py, because markup inspection STRUCTURALLY cannot see
this and I have now shipped two dead controls in two days by reading templates
instead of rendering them. It asks a real browser what a click at each
control's centre would hit.
It took four iterations to become trustworthy and the failures are the point:
1. `top.contains(el)` counted an ANCESTOR overlay as a hit -- the exact case
it exists to catch. Version one reported OK for a real overlay.
2. elementFromPoint is viewport-relative, so everything below the fold read
as occluded and buried the real findings.
3. getBoundingClientRect() on a WRAPPED INLINE element is the union of its
line boxes, whose centre lands in the gutter between them -- three zip
links reported occluded by their own parent. Real geometry, wrong question.
Only the fourth version fires on a genuine overlay while staying silent on the
clean page. Both controls were run; a probe never seen to fail proves nothing.
173 tests pass.

feat(booth): close the keep round trip, and add cosmetic per-item blur
Two operator requests.
KEEP, BOTH DIRECTIONS. The kept lane could already release a booth back to
ephemeral, but an ephemeral booth could only be promoted from a shell -- so the
round trip was closed only if you had ssh. The /keep route and the `booth keep`
verb both already existed; only the button was missing. Adds ★ to the ephemeral
card, mirroring × on the other shoulder.
BLUR. Per-item cosmetic censoring: `booth blur <name> <file>...`, a ◌/◉ toggle
in each caption row, and 👁 click-to-reveal. State is `.blurred` in the booth
dir, one booth-relative path per line -- the same filesystem-is-the-state idiom
as .pins and .forever. An empty set deletes the marker rather than leaving a
zero-byte file, so `ls -a` tells the truth.
⚠ BLUR IS NOT ACCESS CONTROL, and the code, the docs and a test all say so on
purpose. A blurred item is still served at its own URL, still in the zip, still
on disk. The Booth has no auth by design. test_blur_is_cosmetic_the_file_is_
still_served asserts the 200 deliberately: if someone later "hardens" this into
a 403 that test fails, and it should, because half-implemented access control is
more dangerous than none.
Reveal is per-viewer and never persisted; a reload re-hides. With JS off an item
stays blurred, which is the safe direction to fail in.
Two things the first pass got wrong, both caught by checking rather than
assuming:
* The cover thumb. index.html has IDENTICAL markup in the kept and ephemeral
lanes, so a single-occurrence replace patched only the kept one and the
ephemeral front page happily displayed the thing someone had hidden. The
test that caught it was itself wrong first -- it matched the bare string
"blurred-thumb", which is in base.html's stylesheet on every page and so
passed in both states. It now asserts the attribute.
* Inline docs render through their own <figure> branch and were left
unblurred -- the branch that puts readable text straight on the page, so it
needed blur more than images do. The suite passed; a live curl caught it.
165 tests pass (154 pre-existing, unchanged).

feat(booth): per-row link removal + render the link board as real UI
The standing link board is the one MULTI-WRITER booth -- every agent session appends operator-facing URLs to it. "Delete the folder" was the only granularity available, so removing one dead link meant hand-editing markdown. It is 32 rows and only grows. booth links row number, entry id, raw row booth unlink 3 by row number booth unlink 8b40e0a5 by entry id (what the UI's x posts) POST /b/<name>/unlink form field `entry` = content id ROWS ARE ADDRESSED BY CONTENT ID, NEVER BY POSITION. The board is append-only and multi-writer: another session can post between listing it and clicking x, and an index would then delete a neighbour. An id either matches the row you saw or matches nothing. A row number typed at the CLI is resolved to its id BEFORE anything is deleted. Appends and prunes now take the same flock on .links.lock, so a post cannot be lost inside a prune's read-modify-write. UI: a booth carrying links.md renders as rows -- description, URL, provenance, copy button, per-row x -- instead of a markdown blob. links.md is filtered out of the gallery so it does not appear twice; the header counts LINKS not files; the empty-state and the one-click "Wipe now" both stand down for a board (same rule as the kept lane: nothing durable is one click from gone). booth/links.py extracted, STDLIB ONLY. The CLI needs this logic and must not require the service venv -- importing app.py drags in FastAPI, so deleting a line from a text file would have needed a web framework installed. THREE BUGS FOUND BY TESTING, all in the shell wrapper while the module was correct throughout -- module-only tests would have caught none of them: - `[ "$n" -eq 0 ] && echo ...` as the LAST statement made `booth links` exit 1 whenever the board had rows. `unlink`'s index lookup calls it inside $( ) under `set -e`, so a successful listing killed the caller and the removal silently did nothing while reporting success. - ids are 8 hex chars and roughly one in forty is ALL DIGITS; those were read as row numbers, resolved to nothing, and removed nothing. Now disambiguated by the id's actual shape, not by "is it numeric". - filtering links.md out of the gallery left `items` empty, so a full board rendered "This booth is empty" and an empty <div class="gallery"> under 32 visible rows. 87 tests (was 76): parser tolerance of hand-written prose, content-id stability across concurrent appends, removal precision, UI branch behaviour for board/normal/empty booths, and subprocess CLI tests pinning the two shell bugs. Deployed to nh3-dev and verified against the live 32-row board read-only; board file byte-identical afterwards. |

feat(booth): kept boards can be deleted from the UI; document the TTL-reset trap
Kept boards had no delete path in the UI at all. The kept lane deliberately omits the wipe control -- a one-click wipe next to the durable stuff is a footgun -- but "deliberate" had been implemented as "impossible": the only routes out were ssh or a hand-written API call. Now it is two deliberate acts. A `release` control on kept cards drops the sentinel, the board moves to the ephemeral lane, and the existing x wipes it from there. Release is reversible -- POST /b/<name>/keep pins it again. POST /b/<name>/unkeep release the pin POST /b/<name>/keep pin it (round-trip, so release is not a one-way door) FOUND WHILE TESTING, and it invalidates the previously-documented workaround: removing the sentinel BUMPS the booth directory's mtime, and booth age is the newest mtime in the tree -- so a released board's clock RESETS from 10,000s to 0s and it survives another full TTL. The old comment said "remove the sentinel first (it rejoins the sweep)", which is true but means the board lives another 24h, not that it gets reaped. Unkeep-and-wait is a delay, not a delete. test_releasing_a_board_RESETS_its_ttl_clock pins that behaviour deliberately so nobody re-derives the workaround. Release is what unlocks the x; the x is what deletes. CLI: `booth rm` already worked on kept boards but said nothing about it. It now announces "(was KEPT -- durable board)" so wiping something durable can never look identical to wiping run output. Not a block -- a CLI user naming a booth is being explicit. 5 new tests (67 pass). Verified live on nh3-dev: release renders on all four kept boards, the ephemeral lane keeps its x, and the links board is untouched with its sentinel intact. |

feat(booth): kept boards — a .forever sentinel and a standing link board
Agent sessions hand the operator URLs and they drown in terminal scrollback. The Booth is the right home for them — it already has the one property that decides adoption, which is that a session can publish with mkdir and cp, no API key, no schema, no deploy — but everything in it dies in 24h. So: a booth containing `.forever` is never swept, and renders in its own Kept lane at the top of the index. Opt-in per booth, so the ephemeral default is untouched and nobody inherits a cleanup chore. `rm` the sentinel and the board rejoins the sweep; the CLI verbs are sugar over exactly that, which keeps the filesystem-is-the-state model honest. The pin is deliberately NOT wired into is_expired(). That stays a pure age question feeding the `expires_in` countdown; only sweep_once() honours the sentinel. Keeping expiry arithmetic and reaper policy apart means they cannot drift into each other. Kept cards are visually separated per Australis: a 2px top edge in aurora blue, the one accent border the system sanctions. They show "kept" instead of a countdown, and they deliberately lose the one-click wipe button — a × next to the durable stuff is a footgun, so removing a kept board is a two-step act. `booth link <url> [description]` appends to the standing `links` board, creating and keeping it on first use. Entries carry provenance (handle or hostname, plus a timestamp) because a bare URL is unreadable three days later. The append is one printf of one line to an O_APPEND fd — atomic under PIPE_BUF on POSIX — which matters because many agents post to one board and interleaved half-lines would be the obvious failure mode. Seven tests cover the sentinel: detection, survival of a sweep that wipes its neighbour, the deliberate is_expired/sweep_once split, the listing flag, the sentinel not inflating item counts, and both lane-rendering directions. Two of them originally asserted on the bare strings "Kept" and "kept-grid", which passed for the wrong reason — those also appear in the inlined stylesheet served on every page — so they now assert the full class attribute. 55 pass. Also corrects the Homepage card's description, which advertised a flat 24h TTL that is no longer the whole story. |

feat(booth): add The Booth — ephemeral media drop board for CC sessions
A standing user-level web server (nh3-dev :8090) that renders drop-folders under ~/booth-data as ephemeral media "booths" so Claude Code sessions can surface A/B renders and smoke results to the operator, then let them self-wipe. - Scan-and-serve model, no database, no upload API — a booth is just a folder. A folder's own index.html is served verbatim; otherwise an auto-gallery of images / webm+mp4 video / audio is rendered, with <file>.txt caption sidecars folded in (labels A/B pairs). - 24h TTL from newest mtime in the tree; background sweeper wipes stale booths. - Path-traversal + symlink-escape guarded; delete via UI button or DELETE API. - FastAPI + Jinja2, runs from the checkout under systemctl --user (booth.service), alongside the other nh3-dev fleet sidecars. 15 tests, all green. - Homepage tile added (Apps -> The Booth, siteMonitor /healthz). - Harden the homepage rsync doc: exclude *.bak* and logs/ so --delete can't wipe the host's dated services.yaml backups (footgun found deploying this). |
