+## Kaizen Agents
+
+Specialized agent personas available on demand via the state-hub MCP.
+
+**Discover:** `list_kaizen_agents()` — returns all agents with name, description, category
+**Load:** `get_kaizen_agent("tdd-workflow")` — returns full instructions; read and follow them
+
+Common agents:
+
+| Agent | Category | When to use |
+|-------|----------|-------------|
+| `tdd-workflow` | testing | Step-by-step TDD8 workflow for any feature |
+| `code-refactoring` | quality | Code quality analysis and safe refactoring |
+| `test-maintenance` | testing | Diagnose and fix failing tests |
+| `requirements-engineering` | process | Prevent interface/mock mismatches upfront |
+| `keepaTodofile` | process | Maintain TODO.md during work |
+| `project-management` | process | Track status, determine next steps |
+| `datamodel-optimization` | quality | Optimize dataclasses and data structures |
+
+All 17 agents: call `list_kaizen_agents()` for the full list.

+Triggered when `get_domain_summary("consumer")` shows **no workstreams**.
+The project is registered but work has not yet been structured.
+
+**Step 1 — Read, don't write**
+- `~/the-custodian/canon/projects/consumer/project_charter_v0.1.md` — purpose, scope
+- `~/the-custodian/canon/projects/consumer/roadmap_v0.1.md` — planned phases
+- Scan repo root: README, directory structure, existing code or docs
+
+**Step 2 — Survey in-progress work**
+Look for TODOs, open branches, half-finished files. Note done vs. started but incomplete.
+
+**Step 3 — Propose workstreams to Bernd**
+Propose 1–3 workstreams — each a coherent strand, weeks to months, anchored to a
+roadmap phase. **Wait for approval before creating.**
+
+**Step 4 — Create workplan file first, then DB record (ADR-001)**
+```
+workplans/WHYNOT-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md   ← write this first
+```
+Then register in the hub:
+```
+create_workstream(topic_id="cee7bedf-2b48-46ef-8601-006474f2ad7a", title="...", owner="...", description="...")
+create_task(workstream_id="<id>", title="...", priority="high|medium|low")
+```
+
+**Step 5 — Record the setup**
+```
+add_progress_event(
+    summary="First session: structured consumer into N workstreams, M tasks",
+    event_type="milestone",
+    topic_id="cee7bedf-2b48-46ef-8601-006474f2ad7a",

+## Session Protocol
+
+Dev Hub (State Hub API): http://127.0.0.1:8000
+MCP server name in `~/.claude.json`: `dev-hub`
+
+**Step 1 — Orient**
+
+Read the offline-safe brief first — it works without a live hub connection:
+```bash
+cat .custodian-brief.md
+```
+Then call the MCP tool for richer cross-domain context when MCP tools are exposed:
+```
+get_domain_summary("consumer")
+```
+If MCP tools are unavailable in the current agent session, use the REST API:
+```bash
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/state/summary" | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+If the hub is offline: `cd ~/state-hub && make api`
+
+**Step 2 — Check inbox**
+With MCP tools:
+```
+get_messages(to_agent="whynot-design", unread_only=True)
+```
+Mark read with `mark_message_read(message_id)`. Reply or act on coordination
+requests before proceeding.
+
+Without MCP tools:
+```bash
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/?to_agent=whynot-design&unread_only=true" \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/<id>/read" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
+```
+
+**Step 3 — Scan workplans**
+```bash
+ls workplans/
+```
+For each file with `status: ready`, `active`, or `blocked`, note pending
+`wait`/`todo`/`progress` tasks.
+
+**Step 4 — Present brief**
+
+1. **Active workstreams** for `consumer` — title, task counts, blocking decisions
+2. **Pending tasks** from `workplans/` + any `[repo:whynot-design]` hub tasks
+3. **Goal guidance** — if `goal_guidance` in summary:
+   - `needs_workplan`: surface as top action — *"Repo goal '{title}' has no workplan yet"*
+   - `alignment_warnings`: flag if active work is not aligned with current goal
+4. **Suggested next action** — highest-priority open item
+5. **SBOM status** — flag if `last_sbom_at` is unset for this repo
+
+If no workstreams: follow First Session Protocol (`first-session.md`).
+
+**During work:** `record_decision()` · `add_progress_event()` · `resolve_decision()`
+
+> State Hub is a *read model*. Bootstrap tools (`create_workstream`, `create_task`)
+> are First Session Protocol only. Work structure belongs in repo files (ADR-001).
+
+**Session close:**
+With MCP tools:
+```
+add_progress_event(summary="...", topic_id="cee7bedf-2b48-46ef-8601-006474f2ad7a", workstream_id="<uuid>")
+```
+Without MCP tools:
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/progress/ \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"topic_id":"cee7bedf-2b48-46ef-8601-006474f2ad7a","workstream_id":"<uuid>","event_type":"note","summary":"what changed","author":"codex"}'
+```
+If workplan files were modified, ensure the local copy is up to date first:
+```bash
+git -C <repo_path> pull --ff-only
+cd ~/state-hub && make fix-consistency REPO=whynot-design
+```
+For repos where implementation runs on a remote machine (e.g. CoulombCore),
+use the combined target which pulls before fixing:
+```bash
+cd ~/state-hub && make fix-consistency-remote REPO=whynot-design
+```
+**C-15** (DB task ahead of file) is normal in multi-machine workflows — writeback
+will sync the file to match DB.  **C-16** (repo behind remote) blocks all writes
+until you pull — intentional to prevent clobbering remote progress.

+## Stack
+
+- **Language:** ES modules (no build step, no transpile — source ships as-is).
+- **Key deps:** `lit` ^3 (web components, the one runtime dep); `@playwright/test` (the one dev dep, visual regression).
+- **Components:** shadow-DOM Lit elements that adopt a shared stylesheet so the Layer 1 `.wn-*` utility classes work inside the shadow root. `src/elements/_styles.js` is **auto-generated** from `src/styles/components.css` by `scripts/sync-shared-styles.mjs` — never hand-edit it.
+
+## Dev Commands
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+pnpm showcase                 # serve :4321 → /examples/showcase/  (every component)
+pnpm example                  # serve :4322 → examples/whynot-control
+pnpm test:visual              # Playwright visual-regression run (auto-starts a static server)
+pnpm test:visual:update       # regenerate screenshot baselines after an intentional change
+pnpm check                    # check-changelog: fails if CHANGELOG.md gained no entry vs main
+npx playwright test -g "inbox"  # run a single visual test by name
+
+make                          # list make targets (help is the default goal)
+make designbook-sync          # after a /design-sync pull, record changes + last-sync time → RecentChanges.md
+make designbook-check         # ask Claude Design (via llm-connect) if the cloud is newer; warn if mirror is stale
+make recent-changes           # regenerate RecentChanges.md (alias; ARGS="--range main..HEAD" supported)
+make sync-styles              # = node scripts/sync-shared-styles.mjs
+```
+
+There is no unit-test suite — correctness is verified by full-page Playwright screenshot diffs of the two `examples/` pages (`tests/visual/ui-kit.spec.mjs`, `maxDiffPixelRatio: 0.005`). Any visual change needs `pnpm test:visual:update` + baseline review.
+
+## Integrating the designbook
+
+The **designbook** is the upstream atelier — the **Claude Design project** (cloud, `claude.ai/design`), source of truth for the *language*. Its local mirror lives in-repo at `designbook/` (see `designbook/README.md`). Sync is **agent-driven and incremental** (one component at a time, never a wholesale replace):
+
+1. **Pull** — run `/design-sync` in Claude Code (the `DesignSync` tool over the claude.ai login); it writes into `designbook/`. Immediately stamp the time: `node scripts/designbook-sync.mjs --mark-synced`. A Makefile cannot invoke the MCP tool, so the pull is always an agent step.
+2. **Record** — `make designbook-sync` runs `scripts/designbook-sync.mjs`, writing `RecentChanges.md`: a **snapshot** (not a log) of what changed across `designbook/` + the derived surfaces (`tokens/`, `src/styles/`, `src/elements/`, `examples/`), grouped by layer.
+
+**Freshness** is tracked in `designbook/.design-sync.json` (`lastSyncAt`, `remoteUpdatedAt`, `projectId`, `projectName`). Every report states **"Last /design-sync: <datetime>"** so it's clear whether the snapshot reflects the latest design. The cloud-ahead check is backed by **llm-connect** (`make designbook-check` → `scripts/check_designbook_staleness.py`): it uses the `claude-code` adapter to ask the local `claude` binary for the project's current `updatedAt` via `DesignSync.list_projects`, then records it with `node scripts/designbook-sync.mjs --remote-updated <iso>`. Only the `claude-code` adapter can reach the user's Claude Design project (Gemini/OpenRouter/OpenAI cannot), and no secret goes in the prompt — DesignSync uses the claude.ai login (see `credential-routing.md`). The check needs `llm_connect` importable; the Makefile auto-selects `~/llm-connect/.venv/bin/python`. Use `--remote-updated <iso>` to run the comparison offline/manually, or `--fail-if-stale` (exit 3) in automation. When `remoteUpdatedAt` is newer than `lastSyncAt`, the report and stdout **warn that the local mirror is OUTDATED** until the next `/design-sync`. If no sync was ever recorded, it warns that `/design-sync` has not run. The reporter is deterministic (built from `git status`/`git diff`), only writes the working tree, never commits, and never edits `designbook/` content. Fold notable entries into `CHANGELOG.md` under `## [Unreleased]` before releasing — `RecentChanges.md` is overwritten every run and is **not** the CI-enforced artifact.

+## Workplan Convention (ADR-001)
+
+File location: `workplans/WHYNOT-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
+ID prefix: `WHYNOT-WP-`
+
+Work items originate as files in this repo **before** being registered in the hub.
+
+Canonical workplan/workstream frontmatter statuses are:
+`proposed`, `ready`, `active`, `blocked`, `backlog`, `finished`, `archived`.
+Use `proposed` for a newly drafted plan, `ready` after review against current
+repo state, and `finished` when implementation is complete. `stalled` and
+`needs_review` are derived health labels, not stored statuses.
+
+Closed workplans may be moved to `workplans/archived/` with a completion-date
+prefix: `YYMMDD-WHYNOT-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`. The frontmatter id remains
+unchanged; the prefix is only for quick visual reference.
+
+Small opportunistic tasks discovered during another session use **Ad Hoc Tasks**:
+`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md`, workstream slug `adhoc-YYYY-MM-DD`, and task ids
+`ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`, `T02`, etc. Use adhocs only for low-risk work completed
+directly. Promote anything requiring analysis, design, approval, dependencies, or
+multiple planned phases into a normal workplan.
+
+Ecosystem todos from other agents arrive as `[repo:whynot-design]` hub tasks —
+visible at session start. Pick one up by creating the workplan file, then registering
+the workstream.
+
+Task blocks use this shape:
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-NNNN-T01
+status: wait | todo | progress | done | cancel
+priority: high | medium | low
+state_hub_task_id: "<uuid>"         # written by fix-consistency — do not edit
+```
+
+Status progression is `todo` → `progress` → `done`; use `wait` for waiting or
+blocked work and `cancel` for stopped work.

+## State Hub Integration
+
+The Custodian State Hub tracks work across all domains. Interact via HTTP REST —
+there is no MCP server for Codex agents.
+
+| Context | URL |
+|---------|-----|
+| Local workstation | `http://127.0.0.1:8000` |
+| Remote via tunnel | `http://127.0.0.1:18000` |
+
+### Orient at session start
+
+```bash
+# Offline brief — works without hub connection
+cat .custodian-brief.md
+
+# Active workstreams for this domain
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/workstreams/?topic_id=cee7bedf-2b48-46ef-8601-006474f2ad7a&status=active" \

+
+# Check inbox
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/?to_agent=whynot-design&unread_only=true" \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+Mark a message read:
+```bash
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/<id>/read" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
+```
+
+### Log progress (required at session close)
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/progress/ \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "summary": "what was done",
+    "event_type": "note",
+    "author": "codex",
+    "workstream_id": "<uuid>",
+    "task_id": "<uuid>"
+  }'
+```
+
+Omit `workstream_id` / `task_id` when not applicable.
+
+### Update task status
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tasks/<task_id>" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"status": "progress"}'
+# values: wait | todo | progress | done | cancel

+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"needs_human": true, "intervention_note": "reason"}'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Session Protocol
+
+**Start:**
+1. `cat .custodian-brief.md` — domain goal and open workstreams (offline-safe)
+2. Check inbox: `GET /messages/?to_agent=whynot-design&unread_only=true`; mark read
+3. Scan workplans: `ls workplans/` — note `status: ready`, `active`, or `blocked` files and open tasks
+4. Check human-needed tasks: `GET /tasks/?needs_human=true`
+
+**During work:**
+- Update task statuses in workplan files as tasks progress
+- Record significant decisions via `POST /decisions/`
+
+**Close:**
+1. Update workplan file task statuses to reflect progress
+2. Log: `POST /progress/` with a summary of what changed
+3. Note for the custodian operator: after workplan file changes, run from
+   `~/state-hub`:
+   ```bash
+   make fix-consistency REPO=whynot-design
+   ```
+   This syncs task status from files into the hub DB.

+## Credential and access routing
+
+**Audience:** Codex, Claude Code, Grok, and custodian agents that call **llm-connect**
+for inference. Run this check **before** requesting secrets, API keys, SSH access,
+login tokens, or database passwords — in any repo, not only `ops-warden`.
+
+ops-warden **issues SSH certificates only** (`warden sign`, `cert_command`). Every
+other credential need belongs to another subsystem. **Do not** message
+`ops-warden` on State Hub expecting a secret value; the reply is a pointer, not a key.
+
+### Lookup (do this first)

+warden route find "<describe your need>" --json
+warden route show <catalog-id> --json
+```
+
+Requires the `warden` CLI from `~/ops-warden` (`uv tool install .` or `uv run warden`).

+## Workplan Convention (ADR-001)
+
+Work items originate as files in this repo — not in the hub. The hub is a
+read/cache/index layer that rebuilds from files.
+
+**File location:** `workplans/WHYNOT-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
+
+**Archived location:** finished workplans may move to
+`workplans/archived/YYMMDD-WHYNOT-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`. The `YYMMDD` prefix is
+the completion/archive date; the frontmatter `id` does not change.
+
+**Ad Hoc Tasks:** small opportunistic fixes discovered during a session use
+`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md` with task ids `ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`, etc. Use
+this only for low-risk work completed directly; create a normal workplan for
+anything needing analysis, design, approval, dependencies, or multiple phases.
+
+**Frontmatter:**

+
+Use `proposed` for a new draft, `ready` after review against current repo
+state, and `finished` after implementation. `stalled` and `needs_review` are
+derived health labels, not frontmatter statuses.
+
+**Task block format** (one per `##` section):
+
+```
+## Task Title
+
+` ` `task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-NNNN-T01
+status: wait | todo | progress | done | cancel
+priority: high | medium | low
+state_hub_task_id: "<uuid>"         # written by fix-consistency — do not edit
+` ` `
+
+Task description text.
+```
+
+Status progression: `todo` → `progress` → `done`; use `wait` for waiting/blocked work and `cancel` for stopped work.
+
+To create a new workplan:
+1. Write the file following the format above
+2. Notify the custodian operator to run `make fix-consistency REPO=whynot-design`
+   (or send a message to the hub agent via `POST /messages/`)

+## Why it exists
+
+The neutral, mostly-black-and-white visual language for **whynot** — Tegwick's prototype and market-signal organisation.
+
+The neutral, mostly-black-and-white visual language for **whynot** — Tegwick's prototype and market-signal organisation. Wireframe-leaning. Quiet. Built for artefacts that should look deliberately unfinished.
+
+## Governing principle
+
+This repository should stay focused on the purpose above. Work that changes its
+authority, ownership boundaries, or operational promises should be captured in a
+workplan before implementation.
+
+## What it enables
+
+- A coding agent can understand why the repository exists before changing it.
+- State Hub can register and coordinate work for this repository.
+- Future workplans can stay connected to the repository's intended role.

+# SCOPE

+> boundaries become clearer.
+
+## One-liner
+
+The neutral, mostly-black-and-white visual language for **whynot** — Tegwick's prototype and market-signal organisation.
+
+## Core Idea
+
+whynot-design exists to provide the capability described in INTENT.md.
+
+## In Scope
+
+- Maintain the repository's primary implementation.
+- Keep docs, tests, and operational metadata current.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Own unrelated adjacent systems.
+- Make irreversible operational decisions without human approval.
+
+## Current State
+
+- Status: active; implementation and stability should be verified by the repo agent.
+
+## Getting Oriented
+
+- Start with: INTENT.md
+- Agent instructions: AGENTS.md
+- Workplans: workplans/

+
+## Review Generated Integration Files
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0001-T01
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Review `INTENT.md`, `SCOPE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and `.custodian-brief.md`.
+Replace generated placeholders with repo-specific facts where needed.
+
+## Verify Local Developer Workflow
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0001-T02
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Identify the repo's install, test, lint, build, and run commands. Add or refine
+those commands in the agent instructions so future coding sessions can verify
+changes confidently.
+
+## Seed First Real Workplan
+
+```task
+id: WHYNOT-WP-0001-T03
+status: todo
+priority: medium
+```
+
+Create the first implementation workplan for the repository's most important
+next change. After workplan file updates, run from `~/state-hub`:
+
+```bash
+make fix-consistency REPO=whynot-design
+```
