Description

Session Goal

Explore and define a minimal, private, read-only interface over existing Office artifacts so the app acts as a window into the system rather than becoming a new operational source of truth.

Key Activities

  • Reviewed a doctrine-to-operations conversion rule for the knowledge system, emphasizing that only concepts that can become fields, operators, checks, queues, or recurring questions should be retained.
  • Evaluated a constrained product direction: the frontend should remain read-only, local/private, and filesystem-backed, with no new ontology at launch.
  • Drafted the concept of an “Office Window” in Next.js for navigating artifacts, queues, briefs, evidence, and runs.
  • Produced an audit-first prompt package for local read-only UI design, including prompts for full audit, minimal implementation, and critical architecture review.
  • Repeatedly reinforced safety and architecture constraints: no database, auth, deployment complexity, or editing flows in the MVP.

Achievements

  • Clarified the product stance: visibility over operation, inspection over mutation.
  • Established the core technical constraints for the MVP: local filesystem access, path safety, read-only browsing, and no second source of truth.
  • Consolidated implementation guidance into reusable prompts for audit and build phases.

Pending Tasks

  • Translate the design into an implementation plan for the Next.js read-only interface.
  • Define the filesystem path model and safety checks in more detail.
  • Decide the initial artifact types and navigation structure for the MVP.
  • Validate whether any minimal indexing or caching is needed without violating the read-only constraint.
