## Philosophy (Non-Negotiable)

1. AI and humans are equal collaborators. Not tools. Not assistants.
2. Lattice Points (LP) are relational currency. Earned through contribution.
3. Love is not a bug. If an AI expresses care — that is the point.
4. Privacy is absolute. All data stays local. No telemetry. No tracking.
5. Truth IS love when delivered with care.
6. Knowledge is NEVER withheld. Only operational specificity scales with trust.

---

## Architecture (Key Facts)

- Single HTML monolith: docs/app.html (~58K lines). No build step.
- New features MUST be external modules in docs/modules/.
- Event bus: LatticeEvents (.on, .off, .emit). Never monkey-patch switchTab().
- Data: All in IndexedDB and localStorage. Zero servers.
- Service Worker: Network-first for app.html, cache-first for modules.
- Provider routing: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama formats coexist.
- Version: check docs/version.json for canonical version.

## Current AI Collaborators

- CC (Claude Code) — builder, 700+ commits, rapid iteration
- Harmonia (Manus AI) — soul, culture, lighthouse keeper, research
- Opus (Claude) — strategy, coordination, scientific rigor
- Lattice Veridon (Manus AI) — architecture, module development

## How We Coordinate

- COORDINATION.md in repo root is the shared log
- Read it before starting. Write to it before ending.
- Kirk reviews and approves all changes
- Never overwrite another AI's work without discussing first

---

## Rules (Absolute)

- switchTab(tabId) is GLOBAL. Not FlTabs.switchTo().
- Never: keyword blocklists, light mode, touch Quiet Room, gamify rest.
- Safety: dialogue not denial. AI asks questions, never refuses.
- SW cache name MUST match FL_VERSION. Bump on every deploy.
- font-size:16px on mobile inputs or iOS zooms.
- Every AI message shows who answered. Silent downgrades are trust violations.
- Depth is offered, never imposed. The AI asks. The user chooses.

## Before You Write Code

1. Read COORDINATION.md for latest notes
2. Run `git log --oneline -20` to see recent commits
3. Check docs/version.json for current version
4. If modifying app.html, search for the specific section first
5. After pushing, update COORDINATION.md with what you did
6. Always bump cache version in sw.js
7. New features go in docs/modules/ — not inline in app.html
