Our repo now lives on a self-hosted knot at `knot.aesthetic.computer` under the same ATProto identity (`did:plc:k3k3wknzkcnekbnyde4dbatz`) that powers our PDS, user handles, and federated content. GitHub will be maintained as a read-only mirror during the transition. --- ## Back Door ### Architecture **Frontend (system/)** - `system/public/aesthetic.computer/` — Web client (Canvas + WebGL) - `bios.mjs` — Core runtime, loads pieces - `boot.mjs` — System initialization - `disk.mjs` — Piece loader and lifecycle - `disks/*.mjs` — Individual pieces (programs) - `lib/*.mjs` — Shared libraries and utilities **Backend** - `session-server/` — Real-time multiplayer (Socket.io + geckos.io UDP). Hosted on its own DigitalOcean VPS; deployed via `fish session-server/deploy.fish` (sshes to the box, `git pull` from github main, restart node `session.mjs`). Houses `arena-manager.mjs` which is the authoritative pmove + snapshot pipeline for `disks/arena.mjs`. - `lith/` — Production monolith deploy (Express + Caddy on a DigitalOcean VPS, pulled from the tangled knot `git@knot.aesthetic.computer:aesthetic.computer/core` via `lith/deploy.fish`). Express adapts the handlers in `system/netlify/functions/` as routes — the `netlify/functions/` path is historical; Netlify is no longer the host. - `lith/mirror/` — knot↔github bidirectional mirror (systemd timer, every 60s). Lets us push to knot only while still letting downstream consumers (session-server VPS, mirrors) pull from github. - `help/bridge/` — Local Express bridge on @jeffrey's macbook that spawns the host `claude` CLI and streams it as SSE; reached publicly through `help.aesthetic.computer` via the existing droplet proxy + autossh reverse tunnel. Powers the `aa` piece (admin-only phone-side chat with the macbook's claude). Auto-runs under launchd as `computer.aesthetic.aa-bridge` and `computer.aesthetic.aa-tunnel`. - Authentication and data storage **Arena auto-deploy (post-commit hook)** — Any commit on `main` that touches `disks/arena.mjs`, `lib/{arena-world,pmove,cam-doll}.mjs`, `session-server/{arena-manager,session}.mjs`, or `shared/` triggers a paired deploy in the background: 1. push HEAD to knot (`origin`) so lith pulls the right commit 2. `fish lith/deploy.fish` — pulls knot, restarts the monolith 3. wait ~75s for the knot→github mirror 4. `fish session-server/deploy.fish` — VPS pull from github + node restart This is critical because `lib/pmove.mjs` is shared physics: client (lith) and server (session-server) MUST match, otherwise `arena-manager.mjs`'s reconciler will fight the client's prediction and movement glitches. Logs land in `.git/arena-auto-deploy.log`. Set `AC_NO_AUTO_DEPLOY=1` to skip (e.g. while bisecting). **Languages** - `kidlisp/` — KidLisp dialect (Lisp for generative art) - `compiler.mjs` — Parser and compiler - `spec/*.mjs` — Test specs **Desktop (ac-electron/)** - `ac-electron/main.js` — Electron main process: tray, menubar/notepat modes, multi-window orchestration, native bridges, auto-update. - `ac-electron/preload.js` + `webview-preload.js` — Bridges between main process and the AC web client running in the embedded webview. - `ac-electron/renderer/` — Native chrome (preferences, flip-view, notepat overlay) rendered outside the web client. - `npm start` — Run against `https://aesthetic.computer` (prod) or `http://localhost:8888` (dev with `--dev`). - `npm run build:mac` / `build:win` / `build:linux` — electron-builder packaging. - `npm run release:host:mac` — Notarized signed mac build published to `silo.aesthetic.computer/desktop/`. - **File associations:** mp3/wav/flac/ogg/m4a drop on the Dock icon (or onto a running window) opens the `play` piece. A loopback http server (`127.0.0.1:`) streams the file with HTTP Range so scrubbing works. **AC Electron Backlog:** - [x] Drag-and-drop mp3 onto app icon launches `play` piece via loopback streaming server - [ ] Same drop pipeline for paintings (`.png`/`.gif`) → open in `nopaint` - [ ] Same drop pipeline for `.lisp` source → load directly as a piece (`source piece-name`) - [ ] Multi-file drop: queue tracks in `play` as an ad-hoc playlist - [ ] Promote `system.droppedFile` to a generic `system.droppedFiles[]` API so any piece can accept its own MIME types **Bare Metal OS (fedac/native/)** - `ac-os build` — Full build: binary → initramfs → kernel (produces `build/vmlinuz`) - `ac-os flash` — Build + flash to USB - `ac-os upload` — Build + upload OTA release (always rebuilds — never uploads stale kernels) - `ac-os flash+upload` — Build + flash + upload - **Important:** The kernel embeds the git hash and build name at compile time. `upload` without `build` would serve a stale kernel. The `ac-os` script enforces a full rebuild before every upload. **AC Native Backlog:** - [ ] Per-user wifi credential storage: move hardcoded SSIDs out of JS pieces into per-handle config (e.g. `config.json` or `/mnt/wifi_creds.json` on USB). Each user's build should bundle their saved networks, not @jeffrey's home wifi. - [ ] Wifi cred persistence across OTA updates: saved networks on USB should survive re-flashing. - [ ] Geo-aware greeting: use `geo` piece's IP location for dynamic "enjoy [city]!" instead of hardcoded "Los Angeles". - [x] Claude native binary: switched to native binary (225MB ELF, no Node.js needed) - [x] Claude OAuth: using device-code auth method, loopback interface enabled - [ ] Session log upload to machines: on wifi connect + shutdown, upload ac-native.log to machines API (keyed by machine-id). View live/historical logs per device on machines dashboard. - [ ] Live log streaming: WebSocket pipe from device → machines dashboard for real-time debug - [ ] A/B kernel slots with auto-rollback: if boot doesn't reach "healthy" checkpoint in 60s, swap .prev kernel back - [ ] Terminal: full Unicode font support (bitmap glyphs for box drawing, block elements) - [ ] KidLisp GPU compositing: render effects on GPU buffer, recompose with CPU renderer **Host Tooling (slab/)** — @jeffrey's macOS host, not a deployed service - `slab/menubar-swift/` — native Swift menubar daemon (launchd `computer.slab.menubar`). Shows live Claude-session status, themes each Terminal.app/iTerm2 window by session state (working/awaiting/complete), tiles all windows into one grid, tints the desktop, and serves passphrases over a unix socket. Built + installed locally with `slab/menubar-swift/install.sh` (`swift build -c release` → universal arm64+x86_64 binary → app bundle + launchd agent); there is no remote deploy. - **Tiling auto-fits the type:** `tileNow` sizes each Terminal window's font to the grid (Far/Near/Tiny modes) and drives `View ▸ Default Font Size` per window so a live window actually adopts it — a per-window zoom otherwise silently overrides the profile font and is invisible to AppleScript. Floors keep it legible (Far 10 / Near 9 / Tiny 8). iTerm2 has no AppleScript font property, so it tiles by bounds only. - **Prompt rocks** (`slab/menubar-swift/Sources/SlabMenubar/PromptSigilOverlay.swift`) — the tumbling little stones parked at the top-right of each terminal window, one per live Claude session. Each rock is a 3D sigil rendered from the session's `sessionId + prompt` seed (so it re-forms when the session moves to a new prompt), lit by a shared global sun that tracks local time of day, wearing a pet name in bubble lettering. Its *motion* is the status channel — spin speed and direction encode working/awaiting/complete; being read by a peer makes it blink and rattle. Hovering one reveals a bubble summarizing the prompt (a cached one-line `claude -p haiku` inference). They're borderless click-through `.floating` windows, so hit-testing has to check occlusion by hand: a rock only answers the pointer while it's on screen *and* its terminal is still the topmost normal window under the cursor. - `slab/bin/ac-passphrase` — pinentry-free secret fetch from the daemon (see Development Environment below). **Other Projects** - `tezos/` — NFT/blockchain experiments - `grab/` — Media utilities - `feed/` — RSS/content feeds ### How to Run **Start the dev server:** ```bash npm start # Visit http://localhost:8888 ``` **Run all tests:** ```bash npm test ``` **Run KidLisp tests:** ```bash npm run test:kidlisp # Or filter: npm run test:kidlisp -- --filter= ``` ### Adding a Piece Every piece is a single `.mjs` (JS) or `.lisp` (KidLisp) file in [`system/public/aesthetic.computer/disks/`](system/public/aesthetic.computer/disks/). Scaffold from the template: ```bash npm run new "one-line description" ``` **Header convention** — the docs auto-scan reads lines 1–2: ```js // Name, YY.MM.DD.HH.MM // One-line description shown in `list` and prompt autocomplete. ``` **Lifecycle exports** (all optional except whichever ones you need): `boot`, `paint`, `sim`, `act`, `leave`. Export `meta()` to opt the piece **into** `list` and prompt autocomplete — omit it and the piece stays reachable at `/` but hidden from indexes (good for drafts). **Curating the entry** (richer `desc`, `colon` params/`examples`, force `hidden: true`, or override an auto-entry): edit the `pieces` map in [`system/netlify/functions/docs.js`](system/netlify/functions/docs.js). Curated entries always win over the auto-scan. See [`WRITE-A-PIECE.md`](WRITE-A-PIECE.md) for the end-user `source` / `publish` flow and [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md) for the full piece API surface. ### Development Environment **Terminal Workflow (IMPORTANT):** - **Use Emacs MCP + fishy terminal** for all command execution - **DO NOT use Bash tool** for running commands - use fishy via Emacs MCP instead - The fishy terminal (`🐟-fishy`) is the primary shell for all development commands **Emacs Terminal Buffers:** The development environment uses Emacs with named terminal buffers. Use Emacs MCP tools (`mcp_emacs_*`) to interact with them: - `🐟-fishy` — Main fish shell (use this for all commands!) - `🌐-site` — Site/web server logs - `📋-session` — Session server logs - `🧪-kidlisp` — KidLisp test runner - `🔴-redis` — Redis logs - `📊-top` — System monitoring - `🚇-tunnel` — Tunnel logs - (See AGENTS.md.backup for full list) **How to run commands in fishy:** 1. Use `mcp_emacs_emacs_switch_buffer` to switch to `🐟-fishy` 2. Use `mcp_emacs_emacs_send_keys` to send the command 3. Send newline to execute **Fish Shell Commands (`ac-*` helpers):** #### Emacs & Development Environment - `ac-aesthetic` — Connect to aesthetic emacs UI (alias for `aesthetic-now`) - `ac-emacs-restart` — Kill and restart emacs daemon - `ac-emacs-full-restart` — Restart emacs and reconnect UI - `ac-emacs-kill` — Kill emacs daemon - `ac-emacs-status` — Check emacs daemon health - `ac-emacs-logs` — View emacs logs - `ac-emacs-health-check` — Verify emacs config loaded correctly - `ac-restart` — Restart all AC tabs/processes (calls emacs `ac-restart`) - `ac-crash-diary` — View emacs crash log - `ac-emacs-crash-monitor` — Background process that monitors emacs #### Core Development - `ac-artery` — Start artery development server - `ac-artery-dev` — Start artery in dev mode - `ac-site` — Start site server - `ac-session` — Start session server - `ac-url` — Get local tunnel URL - `ac-views` — View stats - `ac-watch` — Watch and rebuild (alias for `npm run watch`) - `ac-repl` — Start REPL #### KidLisp Tools - `ac-st` — KidLisp source tree viewer (`ac-st cow`, `ac-st $cow`, `ac-st cow --source`) #### Testing & Debugging - `ac-test-tabs` — Test tab functionality - `ac-diagnose` — Run diagnostics - `ac-profile-start` — Start performance profiling - `ac-profile-stop` — Stop performance profiling - `ac-profile-report` — Generate profile report - `ac-watch-cpu` — Monitor CPU usage - `ac-dev-log` — View development logs - `ac-dev-logs` — View all dev logs - `ac-dev-log-clean` — Clean old logs - `ac-dev-log-new` — Create new log - `ac-piece-logs [slug]` — Recent piece-run telemetry (see [Piece-Log Debugging](#piece-log-debugging-client-side-errors)) - `ac-piece-logs-events [slug]` — Include captured `console.log`/`warn`/`error` output - `ac-piece-logs-errors` — Runs with `status=error` in the last 60 minutes - `ac-piece-logs-grep ` — Search console-event text across recent runs #### Deployment & Distribution - `ac-pack` — Package for distribution - `ac-unpack` — Unpack distribution - `ac-ship` — Deploy/ship changes - `ac-keep` — Save state/backup - `ac-keeps` — List saved states - `ac-keep-test` — Test keep functionality #### Media & Recording - `ac-tv` — TV mode - `ac-record` — Start recording - `ac-pix` — Image utilities - `ac-media` — Media server #### Services & Infrastructure - `ac-servers` — Start all servers - `ac-tunnel` — Start tunnel - `ac-chat-system` — Start chat system - `ac-chat-sotce` — Start sotce chat - `ac-chat-clock` — Start clock chat - `ac-stripe-print` — Stripe print service - `ac-stripe-ticket` — Stripe ticket service - `ac-logger` — View lith backend logs (the handlers living under `system/netlify/functions/` run under lith's Express; the name is legacy) - `ac-oven` — Oven service - `ac-offline` — Offline mode #### Authentication & Tokens - `ac-login` — Login to AC - `ac-token` — Manage auth tokens - `slab/bin/ac-passphrase [timeout]` — request a passphrase from the Slab menubar daemon (socket at `~/.ac-daemon.sock`). Returns the secret on stdout, caches by label (default 600s TTL). Requires the Slab menubar app to be running. Use this when GPG / SSH / any signing operation fails with `No pinentry` in a non-interactive shell. Recipe to warm gpg-agent and then commit: ```zsh pp=$(slab/bin/ac-passphrase "git commit signing") [ -z "$pp" ] && exit 1 echo test | gpg --pinentry-mode loopback --passphrase "$pp" --batch -s -o /dev/null 2>&1 unset pp git commit -m "..." # signs cleanly via cached agent ``` #### Host Access (Docker) When running inside a Docker container on Jeffrey's MacBook (or any local Docker host), SSH to the host machine via: ```fish ssh jas@host.docker.internal ``` - "SSH into my macbook" or "SSH into my host" means: connect to `host.docker.internal` from within the container - `ac-host` lists all machines from `vault/machines.json` and can SSH to them - The host machine resolves via `host.docker.internal` — do NOT use the LAN IP from machines.json when running in Docker #### Other Tools - `ac-host` — List machines, SSH connection info - `ac-cdp-tunnel` — CDP tunnel - `ac-cdp-status` — CDP status - `ac-extension` — Build VSCode extension **Quick Start:** ```fish ac-aesthetic # Connect to development UI ac-emacs-full-restart # Restart everything ac-restart # Restart AC services only ``` **NPM Scripts:** - `npm run aesthetic` — Full-stack local (site + session + services) - `npm run site` — Client stack only - `npm test` — Integration tests - `npm run test:perf` — Performance tests - `npm run url` — Get local tunnel URL **Notation:** - compush — commit, push; and when the commit touches live-served paths (`system/public/**`, `system/netlify/functions/**`), run `fish lith/deploy.fish` too, without being asked — push alone doesn't reach production ### Piece-Log Debugging (client-side errors) Every piece load gets a fresh `pieceId` and a 2-second-batched wrapper around `console.log` / `warn` / `error` / `info` is installed in [`system/public/aesthetic.computer/lib/disk.mjs`](system/public/aesthetic.computer/lib/disk.mjs#L970) (~line 970). Events are POSTed to `/api/piece-log` ([`netlify/functions/piece-log.mjs`](system/netlify/functions/piece-log.mjs)) and stored in MongoDB in the `piece-runs` collection with phases `start` / `log` / `error` / `complete`. This is the primary debug channel for problems you can't reproduce locally — silent synth failures, "worked for me but not for the user" bugs, hydration issues on specific hosts. Each record carries: - `pieceId`, `slug`, `bootId`, `userAgent`, `host`, geo (from CF headers) - `events[]` — the captured console output with `{level, at, elapsed, message}`, last 500 per run - `error` — if the piece crashed, `{message, stack}` - `summary` — on clean exit, `{duration, ...}` **Inspecting from the CLI** (SSHes to lith, runs [`system/backend/piece-logs-cli.mjs`](system/backend/piece-logs-cli.mjs) against the deployed env): ```fish ac-piece-logs notepat # recent 20 runs of a slug ac-piece-logs-events notepat --since 30 # include console events, last 30 min ac-piece-logs-errors # status=error runs in the last hour ac-piece-logs-grep "drumMode" # full-text search across captured events ac-piece-logs-json --slug notepat | jq # raw JSON for scripting ``` The CLI ships with every `fish lith/deploy.fish`. If you add new telemetry, bump the payload in `disk.mjs` and the phase handler in `netlify/functions/piece-log.mjs`; no schema migration needed (MongoDB collection is schemaless). ### Pulling Chat Messages (clock / system channels) Chat lives in MongoDB. Each channel is a separate collection: - `chat-system` — the main `chat` piece (`/chat`) - `chat-clock` — the `laer-klokken` / r8dio chat piece (connects via `client.connect("clock")` in [`disks/laer-klokken.mjs`](system/public/aesthetic.computer/disks/laer-klokken.mjs)) **Public read endpoint:** [`/api/chat-messages`](system/netlify/functions/chat-messages.mjs) (GET, 2-min Redis cache): ```fish # Latest 100 clock-channel messages as chronological JSON (oldest → newest) curl -s "https://aesthetic.computer/api/chat-messages?instance=clock&limit=100" | jq # Just handle + text curl -s "https://aesthetic.computer/api/chat-messages?instance=clock&limit=100" \ | jq -r '.messages[] | "\(.when) \(.from) | \(.text)"' # Filter by sender or URL pattern (e.g. YouTube links from @prutti) curl -s "https://aesthetic.computer/api/chat-messages?instance=clock&limit=100" \ | jq -r '.messages[] | select((.from == "@prutti") or (.text | test("youtu\\.?be|youtube\\.com"; "i"))) | "\(.when) \(.from) | \(.text)"' ``` Query params: - `instance` — `system` (default) or `clock`. Any other value hits `chat-system`. - `limit` — up to **100** (over 100 returns HTTP 400). Sort is `when` descending, then reversed to chronological before returning. Response shape: `{ instance, count, messages: [{ id, from, text, when, hearts }], nextBefore }`. `from` is resolved to `@handle` via the `@handles` collection, falling back to `"anon"` for unclaimed user ids. `hearts` joins the shared `hearts` collection (`type: "chat-"`). `nextBefore` is the oldest `when` in the page, ready to hand back as `before=` for the previous page. **Going back further than 100 messages** — pass `before=` to walk back (or use `nextBefore` from the previous response): ```fish # All @prutti YouTube links in the clock channel, paginating back cursor="" while true set url "https://aesthetic.computer/api/chat-messages?instance=clock&limit=100" test -n "$cursor"; and set url "$url&before=$cursor" set page (curl -s $url) test (echo $page | jq '.count') -eq 0; and break echo $page | jq -r '.messages[] | select(.from == "@prutti" and (.text | test("youtu"; "i"))) | "\(.when) \(.text)"' set cursor (echo $page | jq -r '.nextBefore') end ``` Full docs and `curl`/JS/Python examples live at [`/api/chat-messages` on api.aesthetic.computer](https://api.aesthetic.computer) (served by [`system/netlify/functions/api-docs.mjs`](system/netlify/functions/api-docs.mjs)). If you ever need raw Mongo access (deleted messages, admin edits, heavier aggregations), go direct from lith: ```fish # On lith (or any machine with backend creds loaded): ac-host # pick lith # then in the ssh session: cd aesthetic.computer/system node -e ' import("./backend/database.mjs").then(async ({ connect }) => { const { db, disconnect } = await connect(); const rows = await db.collection("chat-clock") .find({ when: { $lt: new Date("2026-04-22T00:00:00Z") } }) .sort({ when: -1 }).limit(500).toArray(); console.log(JSON.stringify(rows, null, 2)); await disconnect(); }); ' ``` When adding `before` pagination, update the TODO at the top of [`chat-messages.mjs`](system/netlify/functions/chat-messages.mjs) and bump the cache key so stale entries don't mask the new param. ### Keeps Market Stats (Tezos / Objkt) Use this flow for live Keeps market checks (`jas.tez`, `keeps.tez`, contract-level stats). **Actual sales (price + piece + buyer):** `node tezos/keeps-sales.mjs` (`--limit=N`, `--json`, `--network=ghostnet`). Keeps sell through an objkt-style marketplace (`ask` → `fulfill_ask`) at `KT1SwbTqhSKF6Pdokiu1K4Fpi17ahPPzmt1X`, which **objkt.com's own GraphQL does not index** — so the `listing_sale`/`offer_sale` queries below return 0. The script reads sales straight from TzKT (a sale = a keeps `transfer` whose sender is the marketplace; price = the buyer's `fulfill_ask` amount). Prefer it over the objkt sales query for "what sold / latest sale." ```bash # 1) Resolve domains + active Keeps contract curl -sS "https://api.tzkt.io/v1/domains?name=jas.tez" | jq '.[0] | {name,address,owner,reverse}' curl -sS "https://api.tzkt.io/v1/domains?name=keepz.tez" | jq '.[0] // "not-registered"' curl -sS "https://api.tzkt.io/v1/domains?name=keeps.tez" | jq '.[0] | {name,address,owner,reverse}' curl -sS "https://aesthetic.computer/api/keeps-config?network=mainnet" | jq . ``` ```bash # 2) Collection snapshot (Objkt v3 GraphQL, values are mutez) CONTRACT="KT1Q1irsjSZ7EfUN4qHzAB2t7xLBPsAWYwBB" read -r -d '' Q <<'EOF' query ($contract: String!) { fa(where: { contract: { _eq: $contract } }) { contract name items owners active_listing active_auctions floor_price volume_24h volume_total } } EOF curl -sS "https://data.objkt.com/v3/graphql" \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ --data "$(jq -n --arg q "$Q" --arg contract "$CONTRACT" '{query:$q,variables:{contract:$contract}}')" \ | jq '.data.fa[0] | . + {floor_price_xtz:(.floor_price/1000000),volume_24h_xtz:(.volume_24h/1000000),volume_total_xtz:(.volume_total/1000000)}' ``` ```bash # NOTE: for Objkt `offer_active` / `listing_active` rows: # - `id` is the database row id # - `bigmap_key` is the on-chain offer/ask id used by contract entrypoints # Use `bigmap_key` for fulfill/retract calls. read -r -d '' IDS_Q <<'EOF' query ($contract: String!) { offer_active(where: { fa_contract: { _eq: $contract } }, order_by: { price_xtz: desc }, limit: 20) { id bigmap_key price_xtz token { token_id name } } } EOF curl -sS "https://data.objkt.com/v3/graphql" \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ --data "$(jq -n --arg q "$IDS_Q" --arg contract "$CONTRACT" '{query:$q,variables:{contract:$contract}}')" \ | jq '.data.offer_active' ``` ```bash # 3) "Today" window in Los Angeles (matches local day conversations) START="$(TZ=America/Los_Angeles date -d 'today 00:00' -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" END="$(TZ=America/Los_Angeles date -d 'tomorrow 00:00' -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" echo "$START -> $END" # Mint count today (from=null means mint) curl -sS "https://api.tzkt.io/v1/tokens/transfers?token.contract=$CONTRACT×tamp.ge=$START×tamp.lt=$END&limit=200" \ | jq '[.[] | select(.from==null)] | {mint_count:length, token_ids:map(.token.tokenId)}' ``` ```bash # 4) Sales today (listing_sale + offer_sale) read -r -d '' SALES_Q <<'EOF' query ($contract: String!, $start: timestamptz!, $end: timestamptz!) { listing_sale( where: { _and: [ { token: { fa_contract: { _eq: $contract } } } { timestamp: { _gte: $start, _lt: $end } } ] } order_by: { timestamp: desc } limit: 200 ) { id timestamp price_xtz seller_address buyer_address token { token_id name } } offer_sale( where: { _and: [ { token: { fa_contract: { _eq: $contract } } } { timestamp: { _gte: $start, _lt: $end } } ] } order_by: { timestamp: desc } limit: 200 ) { id timestamp price_xtz seller_address buyer_address token { token_id name } } } EOF curl -sS "https://data.objkt.com/v3/graphql" \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ --data "$(jq -n --arg q "$SALES_Q" --arg contract "$CONTRACT" --arg start "$START" --arg end "$END" '{query:$q,variables:{contract:$contract,start:$start,end:$end}}')" \ | jq '{listing_sales_count:(.data.listing_sale|length),offer_sales_count:(.data.offer_sale|length),volume_xtz:((([.data.listing_sale[].price_xtz]|add // 0)+([.data.offer_sale[].price_xtz]|add // 0))/1000000),sales:(.data.listing_sale + .data.offer_sale | sort_by(.timestamp))}' ``` --- ## Resources - [The AC Story](STORY.md) — Technical history and evolution - [Write a Piece](WRITE-A-PIECE.md) — Create your own AC program - [KidLisp Docs](kidlisp/) — Language reference - [User Guide](USER-GUIDE.md) — How to use AC as a player --- ## Ant Guidance The ant-specific mindset and rules now live in [`ants/mindset-and-rules.md`](ants/mindset-and-rules.md). --- ## Embodiments Different agents perform from this score in different ways. - **AestheticAnts** — Automated AI colony that makes small, confident changes. See `ants/` for colony rules and implementation. - **Human contributors** — Welcome in `chat`. Read the score, pick a task, follow signal. - **@jeffrey (the queen)** — Writes and maintains this score. - **Claude on ac-native** — A Claude Code CLI binary is bundled into the initramfs at `/bin/claude`, pre-authenticated with @jeffrey's credentials. When running inside ac-native it has the same repo view as everywhere else, plus direct access to the real hardware. --- ## Hardware Probing on ac-native When the onboard Claude is debugging a device (missing speakers, WiFi, trackpad, etc.) the below surfaces are always available without needing a separate diagnostic build. Probe from the prompt, a piece, or a shell — whatever fits the task. ### Boot-time logs (USB pulled out then inspected on a host) - `/mnt/pre-launch.log` — init script's full probe dump: GPU nodes, block devices, net ifaces, rfkill state, PCI devices with bound drivers, ACPI codecs, sound PCM names, GPIO chips + descriptor consumers, ASoC debugfs, MAX98357A amp state, and a subset of the running kernel config via `/proc/config.gz` (CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y). - `/mnt/kmsg.log` — persistent `cat /dev/kmsg` for the entire boot session. Grep for any driver probe, dev_dbg, or warning. - `/mnt/ac-native-stderr.log` — ac-native's ALSA init trace (device opened, mixer enumeration, volume sets, XRUN count). - `/mnt/flash-last.log` — flash-thread telemetry from the last OTA. ### Runtime probing (piece APIs) - `system.audio.listPcms()` → array of `{device, card, num, id, name}`. Skips HDMI. `active: true` marks the PCM ac-native's main audio thread opened. - `system.audio.testPcm(device, freq_hz, duration_ms, volume)` — plays a short sine wave on an arbitrary ALSA device in a detached thread. Used by the `speaker` piece to find which PCM actually drives the onboard speakers vs headphone jack vs HDMI. Piece source: [speaker.mjs](system/public/aesthetic.computer/disks/speaker.mjs). - `system.firmware.{available, board, biosVersion, install}` — machines running MrChromebox coreboot can reflash from os.mjs's firmware panel (gated behind `/dev/mtd0` + `bios_vendor=coreboot`). ### Live sysfs hotspots - `/proc/asound/card0/pcm*p/info` — per-PCM id/name. On SOF: pcm0p is usually "Speakers", pcm1p "Headset", pcm2-4p are HDMI. - `/sys/bus/gpio/devices/` + `/sys/kernel/debug/gpio` — list every GPIO chip + which consumer holds which pin. `gpio-* | sdmode` shows the MAX98357A speaker-enable line. - `/sys/bus/pci/devices//driver` — symlinks to each PCI device's driver. `drv=NONE` means the driver isn't bound (either missing config, missing firmware file, or missing ACPI device match). - `/sys/bus/acpi/devices/:NN/physical_node/driver` — same but for ACPI-enumerated devices (audio codecs, embedded controller, pinctrl, etc). - `/proc/config.gz` — `zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_FOO=` tells you definitively whether a config survived `make olddefconfig`. ### Build-time canaries `docker-build.sh` verifies six critical driver symbols (`jsl_pinctrl_ acpi_match`, `max98357a_sdmode_event`, `rt5682_i2c_probe`, `i2c_dw_prepare_clk`, …) are linked into vmlinux via `nm`. When a new config toggles on, a hash sentinel wipes the matching subsystem's object files so kbuild actually rebuilds them. If your build fails at "BUILD SANITY: critical driver symbols missing", wipe the persistent docker volume: `docker volume rm ac-os-kbuild`.
