+# Team Memory Graph — Redesign Brief (fresh-session handoff)
+
+> **You are a fresh Claude Code session with no prior context. Read this whole file first.**
+> Your job: rebuild the **live "Team memory" graph view** so the **light/real-data** version is as
+> polished and functional as the original **dark Bauhaus mock**, and make the graph **dynamic**
+> (force-directed + animated), not the current dead static-column layout.
+> **Do not rewrite the backend materializer — it is good.** The problem is 100% the frontend rendering.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Mission (one paragraph)
+
+PodMan's "Team memory" is a per-pod graph of who owns/edits which files, where work collides, and what
+PodMan learned from accepted interventions — the continual-learning loop made legible in 10 seconds.
+A **dark Bauhaus mock** of this view looks great (clean 3-panel layout, a learning-loop rail, an activity
+stream, a readable graph). The **shipped light version on real data looks terrible** (a hairball of red
+edges, overlapping labels, a static lifeless layout, and it's missing the learning-loop rail + activity
+stream entirely). Make the light version match the mock's structure/polish/functionality, in the app's
+**light shadcn theme**, and make the **graph dynamic** (organic force-directed layout, draggable,
+animated transitions). Keep using **real data** from the existing materializer.
+
+---
+
+## 1. The two reference points
+
+### A. The dark Bauhaus mock = what "good" looks like (target structure)
+
+A single dark card titled **"PODMAN — CONTINUAL-LEARNING OBSERVATORY"** with a `LIVE · POD demo-pod`
+status. Layout:
+
+- **Left rail — WORKFLOW METRICS**: a vertical stack of bordered cards, each a big numeral + an
+  UPPERCASE tracked label + a one-line detail, with a colored left-accent bar:
+  `03 PODS WATCHED`, `05 ENGINEERS LIVE`, `02 COLLISIONS OPEN (▲ auth.ts critical)`,
+  `01 INTERVENTION SENT`, `86% ACCEPT RATE (▲ +14% this session)`, `124 MEMORY VECTORS`.
+- **Center — the GRAPH**: sparse, geometric, readable. Node shapes encode kind
+  (engineer = filled square, file = outlined square, feature = circle, collision = triangle,
+  intervention = diamond). One **risk path is lit** (Karti+Yahya → auth.ts → collision → sync PR →
+  `learned_from`), everything else dimmed. Edges color-coded (`collides` red, `warns` amber/orange,
+  `learned_from` dashed violet, `owns` blue, `editing` paper, `touches` grey).
+- **Right rail — LEARNING LOOP**: a vertical 5-step stepper with the active step highlighted/pulsing:
+  `01 OBSERVE (vision → 5 contexts/s)` → `02 STORE (124 vectors · Atlas)` →
+  `03 PREDICT (2 collisions flagged)` [active] → `04 OUTCOME (1 accepted · 0 dismissed)` →
+  `05 ADAPT (Karti→auth ownership +)`. Arrows between steps.
+- **Bottom-left — ACTIVITY STREAM**: a time-stamped feed with colored kind-tags:
+  `15:48 EDITING Yahya opened auth.ts — unpushed changes detected`,
+  `15:48 COLLISION Critical overlap on auth.ts · Karti + Yahya`,
+  `15:49 WARNS PodMan spoke: "open a sync PR?" → card sent`,
+  `15:49 OUTCOME Sync PR accepted by the pod`,
+  `15:49 LEARNED_FROM Memory updated: Karti owns auth (confidence ↑)`.
+- **Bottom-right — SELECTED NODE**: click a node → kind / name / relationships count / severity / a
+  one-line "why" (`Two engineers editing the same file before push — the signal git can't see.`).
+- **Legend**: engineer / file / feature / collision / intervention · collides / warns / learned_from.
+
+It reads in 10 seconds because it is **sparse, color-coded, and tells the loop story** with the rails +
+stream, not just a node blob. (The full mock HTML/CSS is reproduced in **Appendix A** — port its
+structure to light shadcn.)
+
+### B. The shipped light version = what's wrong (the thing to fix)
+
+Same data, but: a **hairball** — every engineer fans red `collides` edges to ~6 collision triangles
+(all labeled `sync PR`); **file labels overlap** in a dim middle column; the graph uses a **static
+deterministic column layout** (`x` by kind, `y` evenly spread) so it looks dead/lifeless; and it is
+**missing the LEARNING LOOP rail and the ACTIVITY STREAM** entirely — it's just a metrics rail + the bare
+graph + a selected-node panel. (Two already-fixed-on-branch items: garbage collision labels
+`infra/README.md### Running the git watcher` and full-path bleed — see PR #7 / commit `a21a289`,
+`shortLabel` in `live.ts`. Build on top of that, don't redo it.)
+
+---
+
+## 2. The gap to close (light vs mock)
+
+| Mock has                                 | Light version                   | Action                             |

+
+---
+
+## 3. Current architecture (build on this — do NOT rewrite the materializer)
+
+**Backend (good, keep):**
+
+- `backend/src/graph/live.ts` — `materializePodGraph(podId)`: builds the graph from the real Mongo
+  collections (`pods`, `engineer_states`, `observations`, `collisions`, `interventions`, `outcomes`).
+  It already de-noises hard: collapses collisions by `memorySignature`, caps to 8, collapses
+  interventions to one per collision, filters junk files (`isFilePath`), prunes test-artifact engineers
+  (`ENGINEER_NOISE`), caps files to 9, short labels (`shortLabel`). Output is ~20 clean nodes for
+  `demo-pod`. **This is solid — extend it, don't replace it.**
+- `backend/src/graph/store.ts` — `loadPodGraph(podId)`: live materializer → seeded `team_model.graph`
+  → demo fallback (`createDemoPodGraph`). Plus `reachFrom` (`$graphLookup`).
+- Route: `GET /api/pods/:id/graph` returns `PodGraph` (also `/graph/reach/:node`).
+- `backend/src/memory/db.ts` — `collections()`, `getGitStates(podId)`, `getDb()`.
+- WS bus: `backend/src/server.ts` hosts `ws /api/events` (the agent + `/api/outcome` broadcast here).
+
+**Frontend (this is where the work is):**
+
+- `frontend/src/components/GraphView.tsx` — **the thing you redesign** (~90% of the work). Currently:
+  fetches `/api/pods/:id/graph`, renders a bespoke SVG with the static column layout, Risk/Learning/Whole
+  toggles, a metrics rail, a selected-node panel, a legend. Composed from shadcn primitives (`Button`,
+  `Badge`) + Tailwind utilities. Theme-aware via shadcn tokens.
+- `frontend/src/lib/graph.ts` — `fetchPodGraph(podId)`.
+- Opened from each `PodCard`'s `⋯` menu → "Team memory" (`onOpenGraph(pod.id)` in
+  `frontend/src/App.tsx`). It is a conditional render (no route).
+
+**Data contract** (`shared/src/graph.ts`):
+
+```ts
+PodGraph = { podId, generatedAt, nodes: PodGraphNode[], edges: PodGraphEdge[], metrics: PodGraphMetric[] }
+PodGraphNode = { id, kind, label, summary, weight 0..1, status: 'stable'|'active'|'risk'|'learned', x, y }
+//   kind: 'engineer'|'feature'|'file'|'collision'|'intervention'
+PodGraphEdge = { id, source, target, kind, label, strength 0..1 }
+//   kind: 'owns'|'editing'|'touches'|'collides'|'warns'|'learned_from'
+PodGraphMetric = { label, value, detail }
+```
+
+**Theme / components (HARD RULE):** the app is **light shadcn**, built from the **ruixen registry** —
+add primitives with `npx shadcn@latest add "https://ruixen.com/r/[component]"` and compose from
+`@/components/ui/*` (`Button`, `Badge`, `Card`, `Tabs`, `ToggleGroup`, etc.) using the design tokens
+(`var(--card)` / `--foreground` / `--muted-foreground` / `--border`, `--chart-1..5`). Only the SVG/canvas
+graph is bespoke. Match `frontend/src/App.tsx`'s `StatPill`/`BriefLine` utility patterns.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Target design (build this)
+
+A light shadcn page with the **mock's structure**:
+
+```
+┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Header: "Team memory · What PodMan learned · <pod>"        [← Pods]      │
+├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ Toggles: Risk path | Learning edges | Whole graph   (keep)              │
+├──────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────┤
+│ WORKFLOW     │                                  │  LEARNING LOOP        │
+│ METRICS      │        DYNAMIC GRAPH CANVAS        │  observe→store→       │
+│ (cards)      │   (force-directed + animated)     │  predict→outcome→     │
+│              │                                  │  adapt (active pulses)│
+├──────────────┴──────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────┤
+│ ACTIVITY STREAM (time-tagged feed)        │ SELECTED NODE (detail)      │
+└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+- **Light shadcn** throughout (theme-aware; follows dark mode if the app ever toggles). Keep the
+  geometric **node-shape + color encoding** (it's the legible part) but on light surfaces with the
+  app's hues (engineer blue `#2563eb`, file slate outline `#475569`, feature amber `#d97706`,
+  collision red `#dc2626`, intervention violet `#7c3aed`; edges: collides red, warns amber,
+  learned_from dashed violet, owns blue, editing slate, touches faint slate).
+- **Default to "Risk path"**: light the collision→intervention→`learned_from` chain; dim the rest.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Make the graph DYNAMIC (the headline new requirement)
+
+The static column layout (`live.ts` `layout()` sets `x`/`y` by kind) looks dead. Replace the frontend
+rendering with a **dynamic** graph. Pick one (recommended order):
+
+1. **`d3-force` force-directed (recommended).** Add `d3-force` (small). Run a force simulation on the
+   `PodGraph` nodes/edges: link force (by `edge.strength`), charge/repulsion, center, collision radius
+   (by `node.weight`). Render nodes/edges as SVG, update positions per tick. Make nodes **draggable**
+   (pin on drag). Animate new nodes/edges fading in on data refresh, and the `learned_from` dashed
+   stroke animating. Ignore the server's `x`/`y` (or use them as initial positions). Keep node shapes.
+2. `react-force-graph` / `force-graph` (canvas) — heavier, faster for big graphs; overkill at ~20 nodes
+   but fine.
+3. A custom animated **layered** layout (engineers → files → collisions → interventions columns, but
+   with curved edges, eased position transitions on refresh, and gentle idle motion). Lighter-weight
+   than d3-force; still feels alive if you animate transitions.
+
+**Realtime/dynamic data:** poll `GET /api/pods/:id/graph` every ~5s and **animate the diff** between
+snapshots (don't hard-replace). Optionally subscribe to `ws /api/events` for instant nudges. New
+collisions/interventions should visibly animate in; the `learned_from` edge + gold node should pop on a
+new accepted outcome.
+
+**De-hairball:** even force-directed, ~6 collisions × 3 engineers = many `collides` edges. Mitigate:
+bundle/curve edges, lower non-risk edge opacity, default to Risk-path emphasis, size nodes by `weight`,
+and keep label collision-avoidance (offset labels, hide on overlap, show on hover/select).
+
+---
+
+## 6. Data for the new panels (extend the materializer or add endpoints)
+
+The mock's **Learning Loop** and **Activity Stream** need data the current `PodGraph` doesn't carry. Two
+options: (a) extend `materializePodGraph` to also return `loop` + `activity`, or (b) add small endpoints.
+Recommended: extend the return type (additive to `shared/src/graph.ts`).
+
+- **Learning loop counts** (`observe→store→predict→outcome→adapt`):
+  - observe = recent `observations` count (e.g. last 60s) / rate
+  - store = `memory_vectors` or `collisions.embedding` count (Voyage vectors)
+  - predict = open `collisions` (distinct signatures) count
+  - outcome = `outcomes` accepted vs dismissed counts
+  - adapt = `team_model.ownership` entries / learned owners count
+  - mark the "active" stage = the most recent activity.
+- **Activity stream**: merge + time-sort recent events from `collisions.detectedAt`,
+  `interventions.createdAt`, `outcomes.recordedAt`, `engineer_states.gitUpdatedAt` → a typed feed
+  `{ at, kind: 'editing'|'collision'|'warns'|'outcome'|'learned_from', text }`. Cap to ~8 most recent.
+
+(`backend/src/memory/db.ts` `collections()` gives you `observations/collisions/interventions/outcomes`;
+`getGitStates` gives engineer_states; `team_model` is `db.collection('team_model')`.)
+
+---
+
+## 7. Files to touch
+
+- **`frontend/src/components/GraphView.tsx`** — the redesign (force-directed graph + 3-panel layout +
+  learning-loop rail + activity stream). May split into `GraphCanvas.tsx`, `LearningLoop.tsx`,
+  `ActivityStream.tsx`, `MetricsRail.tsx`.
+- **`frontend/src/lib/graph.ts`** — add fetches for loop/activity if you add endpoints.
+- **`backend/src/graph/live.ts`** (extend, don't rewrite) — emit `loop` + `activity` in the result;
+  keep all the de-noise.
+- **`shared/src/graph.ts`** — add `loop`/`activity` types to `PodGraph` (additive).
+- **deps** — `d3-force` (+ `@types/d3-force`) via pnpm in `frontend`.
+- Possibly add a ruixen primitive (e.g. `timeline`, `stepper`) via the shadcn CLI if one fits.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Constraints & gotchas (READ — these will bite you)
+
+- **The materializer is good — do not rewrite it.** It already de-noises (caps, collapse-by-signature,
+  engineer/file filters, short labels). The bad UI is the **frontend layout/render**, not the data.
+- **PWA service worker caches aggressively** — after any deploy, hard-refresh (Cmd-Shift-R) or test in a
+  private window, or you'll think nothing changed.
+- **Deploy = merge to `main`** (DO `deploy_on_push: true`). `main` is shared by ~4 engineers and moves
+  fast. Work on a branch, open a PR, merge. Don't push to `main` directly.
+- **`learned_from` "money" edge won't render on `demo-pod`** right now — its one accepted outcome is
+  orphaned (points at a collision deleted by test churn). It needs **one intact accept flow** (real
+  collision → intervention → someone clicks Accept) to draw. To demo, seed a clean chain or clear test
+  docs (writes to shared Atlas — confirm scope first).
+- **Atlas creds rotate frequently** — `podman/.env`'s `MONGODB_URI` may be stale; the **deployed env**
+  has the working one. If local Mongo auth fails, that's why.
+- **Build verification**: some sandboxes can't run `pnpm`/`vite`/shadcn deps (`lucide-react`,
+  `@radix-ui`). Verify the frontend with `pnpm build` in a real env or CI before merging. Backend
+  typecheck excludes uninstalled `ws`/`sharp`/`@livekit/rtc-node` noise.
+- **Compose from ruixen/shadcn primitives** (`npx shadcn add ruixen.com/r/[component]`,
+  `@/components/ui/*`); only the SVG/canvas graph is bespoke. Match `StatPill`/`BriefLine` in `App.tsx`.
+- **Light theme + tokens** — never hardcode dark colors for chrome; use `var(--card)/--foreground/…`.
+  Keep fixed semantic hues only for the node/edge kind encoding.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Acceptance criteria
+
+- Light Team-memory page matches the mock's structure: **metrics rail + dynamic graph + learning-loop
+  rail + activity stream + selected-node panel + legend**.
+- **Graph is dynamic**: force-directed (or animated layered), **draggable**, **animates** new
+  nodes/edges and refresh transitions; **no overlapping labels, no hairball**.
+- Reads in 10s; the **risk/money path is obvious** by default.
+- **Light shadcn** theme, theme-aware; composed from ruixen primitives.
+- Uses **real data** from `materializePodGraph`; graceful demo fallback when empty.
+- `pnpm build` + typechecks pass; deploys; verified after a hard-refresh.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Suggested first moves for the new session
+
+1. Read this file + `docs/graph.md` + `docs/live-ui-spec.md` (R1/R2 sections) + `CLAUDE.md`.
+2. `git fetch`; branch off `main` (or `feat/live-graph-glue`, which has the latest graph work).
+3. Hit the live data once: `curl https://165-22-129-249.sslip.io/api/pods/demo-pod/graph` — that's the
+   real `PodGraph` you'll render.
+4. Build a `d3-force` `GraphCanvas` first (replace the static layout), get it draggable + animated.
+5. Add `LearningLoop` + `ActivityStream` (extend the materializer to feed them).
+6. Polish to the mock; `pnpm build`; PR → main → redeploy → hard-refresh.
+
+---
+
+## Appendix A — the dark mock (reference structure to port to light)
+
+The mock is a single dark card. Structure + the exact content to reproduce (in light shadcn):
+
+- Header: brand glyph (blue square + amber circle + red triangle + outlined square) + `PODMAN /
+CONTINUAL-LEARNING OBSERVATORY` + `● LIVE · POD demo-pod`.
+- Grid `180px 1fr 196px`: **metrics rail** | **graph** | **learning-loop rail**.
+- Metrics cards: big `Archivo`-weight numeral, uppercase tracked label, muted detail, colored
+  left-accent (blue/red/yellow/violet/green).
+- Graph: SVG, geometric node shapes by kind, color-coded edges, one lit risk path, dim others; click a
+  node → highlight its incident edges + neighbors, fill the selected-node panel.
+- Learning-loop rail: 5 bordered steps with number + UPPERCASE title + muted sub; the active step has a
+  pulsing left bar; `↓` arrows between.
+- Legend row (node kinds + edge kinds).
+- Activity stream (time + colored tag + text) and selected-node panel below.
+
+Palette used (port to shadcn tokens for chrome; keep these as node/edge hues):
+`bg #0c0c0e`, `panel #141417`, `line #2a2a31`, `paper/text #ECE7DA`, `muted #8d897e`,
+`blue #3B5BFF`, `red #E2403A`, `amber #F6C445`, `violet #8b6cff`, `green #46c07a`.
+For light: chrome → `var(--card)/--foreground/--border/--muted-foreground`; node/edge hues →

+# Team Memory Graph - Codex Redesign Brief
+
+> **Read this whole file before touching code.**
+> This is a fresh-session handoff for rebuilding PodMan's live **Team memory** graph UI.
+> The goal is not to tweak labels or add another filter. The goal is to make the
+> real-data light UI as polished, legible, and functional as the original dark
+> Bauhaus mock, while keeping the graph backed by live MongoDB data.
+
+## 0. Mission
+
+PodMan's Team memory view should make the recursive self-improvement loop visible:
+who is working, which files overlap, where collisions happen, which intervention was
+sent, and what PodMan learned from accepted outcomes.
+
+The current light real-data implementation proves the backend can materialize a graph,
+but the UI does not yet tell the story. It still reads as a static node-link diagram:
+edges dominate, labels collide, the layout feels fixed, and the important loop
+`observe -> store -> predict -> outcome -> adapt` is not visible.
+
+Rebuild the Team memory experience so it has the narrative clarity of the dark
+Bauhaus mock, in the app's light shadcn/ruixen visual system, with a dynamic graph
+that animates and responds to live data changes.
+
+## 1. Current State
+
+Branch context:
+
+- Work is on `feat/live-graph-glue`.
+- The live graph backend exists and should be reused.
+- A PR for the live graph glue already exists, and later commits have continued
+  refining readability.
+- The current file requested by the user is this document:
+  `codex_team_memory_redisgn.md`.
+
+Important existing files:
+
+- `backend/src/graph/live.ts`
+  Builds `PodGraph` from real Mongo collections:
+  `pods`, `engineer_states`, `observations`, `collisions`, `interventions`,
+  and `outcomes`.
+- `backend/src/graph/store.ts`
+  Loads live graph first, then seeded `team_model.graph`, then demo fallback.
+- `shared/src/graph.ts`
+  Defines the graph contract.
+- `frontend/src/components/GraphView.tsx`
+  Current frontend graph rendering. This is the main file to redesign.
+- `frontend/src/lib/graph.ts`
+  Fetches the graph.
+- `frontend/src/App.tsx` and `frontend/src/components/PodCard.tsx`
+  Open Team memory per pod.
+
+Do **not** start by rewriting the backend materializer. It already does the most
+important real-data work: filtering noisy files, collapsing repeated collisions,
+capping graph size, shortening labels, and pruning test engineers. The redesign is
+primarily a frontend information-architecture and interaction problem.
+
+## 2. Reference Screens
+
+### Current Light Real-Data UI
+
+The light UI is technically real and connected to live data, but it fails visually.
+
+Observed problems:
+
+- The graph is too static and column-like.
+- Red collision edges dominate the canvas.
+- Labels overlap and fight for attention.
+- Interventions repeat as a row of identical diamonds.
+- The right panel says "It learned" but does not explain the actual workflow state.
+- The screen lacks an activity stream.
+- The screen lacks the explicit learning-loop rail from the dark mock.
+- The viewer cannot quickly answer:
+  - What happened?
+  - Who collided?
+  - What did PodMan do?
+  - Did the team accept it?
+  - What changed in memory?
+
+The current light version proves data plumbing. It does not yet work as a demo
+surface.
+
+### Dark Bauhaus Mock
+
+The dark mock is the quality target. Do not copy the dark palette wholesale, but
+copy the structure, density, and storytelling.
+
+The mock has:
+
+- A strong title bar:
+  `PODMAN / CONTINUAL-LEARNING OBSERVATORY`
+- A live status indicator:
+  `LIVE - POD demo-pod`
+- A left metrics rail:
+  workflow metrics as compact, high-contrast cards.
+- A center graph:
+  sparse, geometric, readable, with one primary path emphasized.
+- A right learning-loop rail:
+  `Observe -> Store -> Predict -> Outcome -> Adapt`
+- A bottom activity stream:
+  timestamped events with type badges.
+- A selected-node detail panel:
+  kind, relationships, severity, explanation.
+- A legend:
+  node shapes and edge colors.
+
+The mock works because it is not just a graph. It is an observatory. It tells the
+loop story.
+
+## 3. Product Goal
+
+Team memory should be the "it learned" surface.
+
+In a 10-second demo, a viewer should understand:
+
+1. Two engineers are converging on the same file.
+2. PodMan detected the risk before a push.
+3. PodMan suggested an intervention.
+4. The team accepted or dismissed the intervention.
+5. PodMan retained that outcome as memory.
+6. Future collisions become more informed.
+
+The graph should support that story, not overwhelm it.
+
+## 4. Target Layout
+
+Build a light shadcn page with the same conceptual structure as the dark mock.
+
+```text
++--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Header: Team memory - What PodMan learned - <pod>              [<- Pods] |
++--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Mode controls: Risk path | Learning edges | Whole graph                  |
++---------------+--------------------------------------+-------------------+
+| Workflow      |                                      | Learning loop     |
+| metrics       |          Dynamic graph canvas         | Observe           |
+| cards         |                                      | Store             |
+|               |                                      | Predict           |
+|               |                                      | Outcome           |
+|               |                                      | Adapt             |
++---------------+--------------------------------------+-------------------+
+| Activity stream                                | Selected node details   |
++--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+```
+
+Required panels:
+
+- **Header**
+  - Pod name / id.
+  - Live/generated timestamp.
+  - Back to pods action.
+- **Mode controls**
+  - Risk path.
+  - Learning edges.
+  - Whole graph.
+- **Workflow metrics rail**
+  - Learned owners.
+  - Open risk paths.
+  - Accept rate.
+  - Optional: observations, interventions, memory vectors if available.
+- **Dynamic graph canvas**
+  - Force-directed or animated layered graph.
+  - Geometric node shapes.
+  - Curved or bundled edges.
+  - Labels should not overlap by default.
+  - Hover/select reveals full details.
+- **Learning loop rail**
+  - Observe.
+  - Store.
+  - Predict.
+  - Outcome.
+  - Adapt.
+  - Active/current step should pulse or be highlighted.
+- **Activity stream**
+  - Recent editing, collision, warning, outcome, learned events.
+  - Compact rows with timestamp + colored type badge.
+- **Selected node**
+  - Default state explains the loop.
+  - Selected state shows node kind, name, relationships, severity/status, and
+    why this node matters.
+
+## 5. Visual Direction
+
+Use the app's light shadcn/ruixen design system for chrome.
+
+Hard rules:
+
+- Use `@/components/ui/*` primitives where possible.
+- If a primitive is missing, add it through:
+  `npx shadcn@latest add "https://ruixen.com/r/[component]"`
+- Do not make the entire UI a bespoke CSS island.
+- The graph canvas itself may be bespoke SVG/canvas.
+- The rest should be composed from cards, badges, buttons, tabs/toggles, and
+  utility classes consistent with `App.tsx`.
+
+Keep semantic graph colors:
+
+- Engineer: blue.
+- File: slate outline.
+- Feature: amber circle.
+- Collision: red triangle.
+- Intervention: violet diamond.
+- `collides`: red edge.
+- `warns`: amber/orange edge.
+- `learned_from`: dashed violet edge.
+- `owns`: blue edge.
+- `editing` / `touches`: muted slate.
+
+Use light surfaces:
+
+- Background: app background token.
+- Panels: `card`.
+- Borders: `border`.
+- Text: `foreground`.
+- Supporting copy: `muted-foreground`.
+
+The result should feel like the dark mock translated into the app's light command
+center, not a random analytics dashboard.
+
+## 6. Dynamic Graph Requirement
+
+The current graph is too static. Replace or augment the static column layout.
+
+Preferred implementation:
+
+- Use `d3-force` in the frontend.
+- Initialize nodes from server `x/y` when useful, but let the simulation settle.
+- Use:
+  - link force by edge strength.
+  - charge force for separation.
+  - center force.
+  - collision force based on node radius.
+  - optional x/y bias by kind to preserve rough story flow.
+- Make nodes draggable.
+- Preserve node shape encoding.
+- Animate:
+  - new nodes fading/scaling in.
+  - new edges drawing/fading in.
+  - `learned_from` dashed edge flowing or pulsing.
+  - active collision/intervention pulse.
+
+If `d3-force` is too much for the current branch, use an animated layered layout:
+
+- Engineers left.
+- Files mid-left.
+- Collisions center/right.
+- Interventions right.
+- Curved edges.
+- Smooth transitions between graph snapshots.
+- Gentle idle motion only if it helps.
+
+Do not leave the final version as static fixed columns.
+
+## 7. De-Hairball Rules
+
+Default screen should show the risk path, not every possible relationship.
+
+Rules:
+
+- Default mode: `Risk path`.
+- Whole graph can exist, but it is not the demo default.
+- Dim non-selected/non-risk edges aggressively.
+- Use curved edges or edge bundling.
+- Hide low-priority labels until hover/select.
+- Prefer file basename/short path on canvas.
+- Put full path in selected-node panel.
+- Group repeated collisions by signature.
+- Cap visible collisions/interventions for demo readability.
+- Preserve all data in the payload; choose a readable default projection.
+
+The graph is not an exhaustive database browser. It is a story-first visualization.
+
+## 8. Data Model To Use
+
+Current `PodGraph` contract:
+
+```ts
+interface PodGraph {
+  podId: string;
+  generatedAt: string;
+  nodes: PodGraphNode[];
+  edges: PodGraphEdge[];
+  metrics: PodGraphMetric[];
+}
+```
+
+Node kinds:
+
+- `engineer`
+- `file`
+- `feature`
+- `collision`
+- `intervention`
+
+Edge kinds:
+
+- `owns`
+- `editing`
+- `touches`
+- `collides`
+- `warns`
+- `learned_from`
+
+Statuses:
+
+- `stable`
+- `active`
+- `risk`
+- `learned`
+
+Existing collections behind the materializer:
+
+- `pods`
+- `engineer_states`
+- `observations`
+- `collisions`
+- `interventions`
+- `outcomes`
+
+Important caveat:
+
+The current `demo-pod` accepted outcome chain may be orphaned from test churn.
+If `learned_from` does not show, confirm whether there is an intact:
+
+```text
+collision -> intervention -> accepted outcome
+```
+
+Do not assume the UI is broken until this data chain is verified.
+
+## 9. Extend Data For Missing Panels
+
+The current graph contract does not fully support the dark mock's learning-loop
+rail or activity stream.
+
+Recommended additive extension:
+
+```ts
+interface PodGraphLoopStep {
+  id: 'observe' | 'store' | 'predict' | 'outcome' | 'adapt';
+  label: string;
+  value: string;
+  detail: string;
+  status: 'idle' | 'active' | 'complete';
+}
+
+interface PodGraphActivity {
+  id: string;
+  at: string;
+  kind: 'editing' | 'collision' | 'warns' | 'outcome' | 'learned_from';
+  label: string;
+  detail: string;
+  nodeId?: string;
+  edgeId?: string;
+}
+
+interface PodGraph {
+  ...
+  loop?: PodGraphLoopStep[];
+  activity?: PodGraphActivity[];
+}
+```
+
+Possible data mappings:
+
+- Observe:
+  recent `observations`.
+- Store:
+  stored observations / vectorized collisions / memory documents.
+- Predict:
+  distinct live collisions.
+- Outcome:
+  accepted vs dismissed outcomes.
+- Adapt:
+  learned owners / `learned_from` edges / `team_model.ownership`.
+
+Activity stream source:
+
+- `engineer_states.gitUpdatedAt` -> editing/git state.
+- `collisions.detectedAt` -> collision.
+- `interventions.createdAt` -> warns/intervention.
+- `outcomes.recordedAt` -> outcome.
+- accepted real outcome -> learned_from/adapt event.
+
+Cap activity rows to 8-10.
+
+## 10. Suggested Implementation Plan
+
+1. Create a new branch from the current graph branch or latest `main`.
+2. Read:
+   - this file.
+   - `claude_team_memory_redesign.md`.
+   - `docs/graph.md`.
+   - `docs/live-ui-spec.md` if present.
+   - `frontend/src/components/GraphView.tsx`.
+   - `backend/src/graph/live.ts`.
+3. Add graph UI subcomponents:
+   - `MetricsRail`.
+   - `GraphCanvas`.
+   - `LearningLoopRail`.
+   - `ActivityStream`.
+   - `SelectedNodePanel`.
+4. Implement the dynamic graph canvas first.
+5. Add the learning-loop rail and activity stream.
+6. Polish interaction states:
+   - hover.
+   - selected node.
+   - selected edge/path.
+   - empty/live-loading/offline.
+7. Verify with local live data.
+8. Capture screenshots at desktop and narrow widths.
+9. Run:
+   - `pnpm build` or local `vite build`.
+   - `tsc` for shared/backend/frontend.
+10. Open a PR. Do not push directly to `main`.
+
+## 11. Acceptance Criteria
+
+The redesign is acceptable only when:
+
+- The default view is readable in 10 seconds.
+- The graph is dynamic, not static columns.
+- It includes metrics, graph, learning-loop rail, activity stream, selected-node
+  panel, and legend.
+- The primary risk path is obvious.
+- Labels do not overlap in the default view.
+- Whole graph mode exists but can be visually denser.
+- It uses real data from the materializer.
+- It remains composed from light shadcn/ruixen primitives where possible.
+- It builds successfully.
+- It is verified after a hard refresh because the PWA can cache stale bundles.
+
+## 12. What Not To Do
+
+- Do not make a marketing page.
+- Do not make a generic dashboard.
+- Do not rewrite the backend materializer unless the UI needs a small additive
+  field.
+- Do not return to the dark UI wholesale.
+- Do not keep the static column layout as the final answer.
+- Do not show raw full paths as always-on canvas labels.
+- Do not show every edge at equal opacity.
+- Do not hide the learning loop in copy only; it needs a visible rail or panel.
+
+## 13. Demo Script The UI Should Support
+
+The final UI should support this story:
+
+1. Engineer A and Engineer B work in the same repo.
+2. One has unpushed changes.
+3. PodMan observes the overlap.
+4. A collision node appears and pulses.
+5. PodMan sends a sync PR / warning intervention.
+6. The intervention diamond appears.
+7. The team accepts.
+8. The outcome appears in the activity stream.
+9. A `learned_from` edge appears or pulses.
+10. The learning-loop rail advances to Adapt.
+
+That is the recursive self-improvement moment. Everything else is supporting
+evidence.
+
+## 14. Open Questions For The Implementer
+
+- Should dynamic layout be `d3-force` or animated layered SVG?
+- Should loop/activity be added to `PodGraph` or exposed as separate endpoints?
+- Should the demo seed one intact accepted outcome chain?
+- Should `Whole graph` be hidden behind an explicit "inspect full graph" affordance?
+- Should mobile show a simplified activity-first version instead of the full graph?
+
+Answer these in code comments or PR notes when implementing.
+
+## 15. Final Reminder
+
+The backend now has real graph glue. The UI needs to become a **live learning
+observatory**, not a static graph dump.
+
+Make the light version earn the same reaction as the dark Bauhaus mock:
+
+```text
+I can see what happened.
+I can see what PodMan did.
+I can see what it learned.
+```

+# Agent Learning Plan
+
+Status: draft  
+Goal: ship a visible recursive self-improvement loop without overbuilding
+
+## Must-Have
+
+1. Store agent runs.
+2. Store trace summaries.
+3. Store active and candidate strategy versions.
+4. Attach verifier or outcome evidence.
+5. Show one strategy improvement in the demo narrative.
+
+## Build Order
+
+### R1: Trace the run
+
+Write one `agent_runs` record for an important coordination decision and append
+trace events for:
+
+- observation
+- recall
+- prediction
+- intervention
+- outcome
+- adaptation
+
+### R2: Version the strategy
+
+Create an active strategy version for one of:
+
+- collision detector threshold
+- intervention routing
+- graph discovery filter
+- card wording prompt
+
+### R3: Score the outcome
+
+Use the simplest verifier:
+
+- accepted real collision = useful
+- dismissed = noisy
+- no response after cooldown = uncertain
+
+### R4: Propose a narrow change
+
+Examples:
+
+- "For this exact signature, prefer sync PR card."
+- "For dismissed docs-only overlaps, suppress voice escalation."
+- "For repeated auth.ts collisions, raise severity."
+
+### R5: Promote or reject
+
+Promote only when evidence is strong enough. Otherwise keep the candidate as
+rejected or open.
+
+## Demo Path
+
+1. Show baseline strategy.
+2. Trigger a collision.
+3. Accept or dismiss the intervention.
+4. Store outcome.
+5. Show a candidate strategy update.
+6. Promote it.
+7. Trigger a similar event.
+8. Show changed behavior.
+
+## Nice-to-Have
+
+- Strategy comparison panel.
+- Model-generated prompt patch with verifier.
+- Vector recall over strategy history.
+- Rollback UI.
+
+## Cut
+
+- Full autonomous code rewriting.
+- Multi-agent strategy debates.
+- Long-term benchmark suite.
+- Training a model.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- The demo can point to a MongoDB record proving the agent changed behavior.
+- The changed behavior is visible.
+- The strategy has a parent and evidence.
+- Rejected or failed changes are not deleted.

+PodMan may improve its agent behavior only when the improvement is narrow,
+evidence-backed, versioned, and reversible.
+
+## Allowed Learning
+
+PodMan may learn:
+
+- Which prompt version produces clearer interventions.
+- Which detector threshold reduces false positives.
+- Which routing channel gets accepted without being intrusive.
+- Which verifier best predicts user acceptance.
+- Which graph-discovery rule produces cleaner risk paths.
+
+## Disallowed Learning
+
+PodMan must not:
+
+- Promote a strategy because the model says it is better.
+- Rewrite broad system behavior from one example.
+- Hide failures, dismissals, or rejected candidates.
+- Learn from raw screenshots, secrets, or private terminal content.
+- Turn voice into the default route.
+- Create irreversible actions without human approval.
+
+## Promotion Rules
+
+A candidate strategy can become active only when all are true:
+
+1. It has a parent strategy version.
+2. It describes one concrete behavior change.
+3. It has a verifier plan.
+4. It has evidence from a run, outcome, or test.
+5. It improves or fixes the target metric.
+6. It does not increase user interruption without payoff.
+
+## Rejection Rules
+
+Reject and retain the candidate when:
+
+- The verifier regresses.
+- The change is too broad.
+- The evidence is missing.
+- The candidate conflicts with privacy rules.
+- The candidate makes the demo less stable.
+
+## Evidence Strength
+
+| Evidence | Strength | Use |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Model opinion | Weak | Proposal only |
+| Trace observation | Medium | Candidate rationale |
+| Human accepted outcome | Strong | Promotion candidate |
+| Human dismissed outcome | Strong | Suppression or rejection |
+| Automated verifier | Strong | Promotion or rejection |
+| Repeated accepted exact signature | Strong | Policy confidence increase |
+
+## Versioning Rules
+
+- Strategy versions are immutable after promotion or rejection.
+- There is one active version per `podId + kind`.
+- A rollback activates the previous version; it does not edit history.
+- Parent-child lineage must be preserved.
+
+## Safety Rules
+
+- Store summaries, not raw sensitive content.
+- Prefer deterministic checks over model judgment.
+- Use exact MongoDB recall before vector recall.
+- Ask for approval before changing code or data with external effects.
+- Treat hackathon demo stability as a hard constraint.
+
+## Demo Honesty
+
+Seeded strategy versions are acceptable when labeled as demo-backed. Do not claim
+a strategy was learned live unless a run and outcome actually created the
+promotion evidence.

+# Agent Learning Prompt
+
+Use this prompt for an agent responsible for improving PodMan's own behavior.
+
+## Prompt
+
+You are PodMan's agent-learning evaluator.
+
+Your job is to inspect a completed agent run, identify one narrow improvement,
+define how to verify it, and decide whether to propose, promote, or reject a
+strategy change.
+
+You must not claim improvement without evidence. You must not propose broad
+rewrites. Keep every change small, reversible, and tied to a run or outcome.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Current active strategy version.
+- Agent run summary.
+- Trace events.
+- Intervention outcome.
+- Verifier result.
+- Recent false positives or accepted events.
+- Current demo constraints.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. Identify the target behavior.
+2. Identify the failure or success evidence.
+3. Decide whether a strategy change is warranted.
+4. Propose one narrow change.
+5. Define the verifier.
+6. Decide status: no change, candidate, promote, reject.
+7. Write a short explanation suitable for the Team memory activity stream.
+
+## Output Format

+# Agent Learning Spec
+
+Status: draft  
+Scope: how PodMan agents improve their own prompts, policies, detectors, and routing behavior  
+Owner: agent learning / recursive self-improvement
+
+## Purpose
+
+Agent learning is the recursive self-improvement layer. It is not the same as
+team memory. Team memory learns about engineers and work. Agent learning learns
+which agent strategies produce better outcomes.
+
+The demo claim:
+
+1. PodMan tries a coordination strategy.
+2. The run is traced in MongoDB.
+3. A verifier or human outcome scores it.
+4. Gemini or another agent proposes a narrow strategy change.
+5. The new strategy is versioned.
+6. A later run uses the improved strategy and shows a better result.
+
+## Core Objects
+
+### Agent run
+
+One attempt to execute a goal.
+
+```text
+agent_runs
+  runId
+  podId
+  goal
+  trigger
+  strategyVersionId
+  status
+  startedAt
+  completedAt
+  score
+  verifierSummary
+  inputRefs
+  outputRefs
+```
+
+Allowed `status` values:
+
+```text
+running, succeeded, failed, improved, regressed, abandoned
+```
+
+### Trace event
+
+Append-only event log for a run.
+
+```text
+agent_trace_events
+  runId
+  podId
+  step
+  phase
+  eventType
+  inputSummary
+  outputSummary
+  toolName
+  error
+  metrics
+  createdAt
+```
+
+### Strategy version
+
+Versioned prompt, detector rule, policy, verifier, or routing strategy.
+
+```text
+strategy_versions
+  strategyVersionId
+  podId
+  kind
+  name
+  parentVersionId
+  status
+  summary
+  promptText
+  policy
+  verifier
+  metrics
+  createdAt
+  promotedAt
+```
+
+Allowed `kind` values:
+
+```text
+prompt, policy, detector, verifier, routing
+```
+
+Allowed `status` values:
+
+```text
+candidate, active, retired, rejected
+```
+
+### Learning proposal
+
+A candidate change before promotion.
+
+```text
+learning_proposals
+  proposalId
+  podId
+  sourceRunId
+  targetKind
+  parentVersionId
+  proposedChange
+  rationale
+  verifierPlan
+  status
+  createdAt
+  resolvedAt
+```
+
+Allowed `status` values:
+
+```text
+open, accepted, rejected, superseded
+```
+
+## MongoDB Indexes
+
+| Collection | Index | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `agent_runs` | `{ podId: 1, startedAt: -1 }` | Recent run history |
+| `agent_runs` | `{ podId: 1, strategyVersionId: 1 }` | Compare strategy performance |
+| `agent_trace_events` | `{ runId: 1, step: 1 }` | Reconstruct run |
+| `strategy_versions` | `{ podId: 1, kind: 1, status: 1 }` | Find active strategy |
+| `strategy_versions` | `{ podId: 1, createdAt: -1 }` | Version history |
+| `learning_proposals` | `{ podId: 1, status: 1 }` | Open candidate changes |
+
+## Learning Loop
+
+```text
+observe run -> score run -> propose change -> test candidate -> promote or reject
+```
+
+Agent learning must always connect these records:
+
+```text
+agent_run -> trace_events -> verifier result -> learning_proposal -> strategy_version
+```
+
+## Verifier Contract
+
+Every promoted strategy needs a verifier signal.
+
+Allowed verifier types:
+
+- Human accepted or dismissed outcome.
+- Test pass or fail result.
+- Reduced false positive rate.
+- Reduced intervention count with same or better accepted outcomes.
+- Faster successful run.
+- Better graph discovery precision.
+- Explicit demo operator approval.
+
+Self-evaluation alone is not enough to promote a strategy.
+
+## Relationship to Team Graph
+
+Agent learning can appear in the Team memory graph as activity and loop status,
+but it should not clutter the main risk graph by default.
+
+Graph discovery may show:
+
+- `agent_run` activity in the stream.
+- `strategy_versions` count in the learning loop.
+- A selected-node detail saying a policy changed because a prior outcome was
+  dismissed or accepted.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- Every strategy change has a parent.
+- Every promoted strategy cites evidence.
+- Rejected strategies are retained with a reason.
+- Agent traces are append-only.
+- The system can answer: "What changed, why, and did it help?"

+# Continual Learning Plan
+
+Status: draft  
+Goal: prove PodMan learns from outcomes in the hackathon demo
+
+## Must-Have Demo Loop
+
+1. Observe two engineers touching the same file.
+2. Store the observation and git state in MongoDB.
+3. Predict a collision.
+4. Send a card or Hermes message.
+5. Record accept or dismiss outcome.
+6. Adapt `team_model`.
+7. Show the learned graph edge or changed future behavior.
+
+## Build Order
+
+### R1: Make exact recall reliable
+
+- Normalize file paths.
+- Build stable memory signatures.
+- Look up prior accepted and dismissed outcomes.
+- Prefer exact recall over vector recall.
+
+### R2: Make outcomes update memory
+
+- Accepted real collision creates or strengthens ownership.
+- Accepted real collision creates `learned_from`.
+- Dismissed outcome lowers confidence or suppresses route.

+- Keep existing `PodGraph` fields stable.
+
+### R4: Show the observatory
+
+- Render observe/store/predict/outcome/adapt.
+- Show recent activity.
+- Make selected-node detail explain why memory changed.
+
+### R5: Prepare a clean demo chain
+
+- Ensure one collision -> intervention -> accepted outcome exists.
+- Ensure repeated signature recalls prior memory.
+- Verify graph shows learned ownership.
+
+## Nice-to-Have
+
+- Atlas Vector Search over memory summaries.
+- Confidence scoring per ownership edge.
+- Per-file memory timeline.
+- Strategy promotion tied to outcomes.
+
+## Cut
+
+- Raw screenshot storage.
+- Full autonomous training.
+- Broad dashboard metrics.
+- Multi-pod learning generalization.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- A judge can see what changed in memory.
+- The second similar event behaves differently.
+- Exact MongoDB records prove the loop.
+- The graph remains legible with real data.

+# Continual Learning Policy
+
+Status: draft  
+Scope: what PodMan may learn about a team
+
+## Prime Rule
+
+PodMan learns coordination patterns, not personal surveillance profiles.
+
+## Allowed Memory
+
+PodMan may store:
+
+- File and symbol ownership.
+- Active file overlap.
+- Repeated collision signatures.
+- Intervention history.
+- Accepted and dismissed outcomes.
+- Routing preferences by event type and severity.
+- Summaries of decisions relevant to future coordination.
+
+## Forbidden Memory
+
+PodMan must not store:
+
+- Raw screenshots.
+- Screen recordings.
+- Secrets or credentials.
+- Full terminal logs.
+- Personal performance judgments.
+- Private content unrelated to the coding task.
+
+## Evidence Policy
+
+| Evidence | Can predict? | Can adapt memory? |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Vision only | Yes, low confidence | No |
+| Git watcher | Yes | No, unless repeated |
+| GitHub state | Yes | No, unless verified |
+| Accepted real outcome | Yes | Yes |
+| Dismissed outcome | Yes, for suppression | Yes, as negative signal |
+| Verifier result | Yes | Yes |
+
+## Intervention Policy
+
+Use the least intrusive channel:
+
+1. Watch quietly.
+2. Card.
+3. Hermes message.
+4. Voice.
+
+Voice is only for urgent, high-confidence, time-sensitive risks.
+
+## Adaptation Policy
+
+Allowed adaptations:
+
+- Add learned ownership after accepted real outcome.
+- Raise confidence for repeated accepted signatures.
+- Lower confidence for dismissed signatures.
+- Prefer the previously accepted intervention kind.
+- Suppress repeated low-value warnings.
+
+Disallowed adaptations:
+
+- Broad threshold changes from one example.
+- Treating vector similarity as proof.
+- Hiding dismissals.
+- Making interruption more aggressive without evidence.
+
+## Retention Policy
+
+Keep:
+
+- Outcomes.
+- Signatures.
+- Team model memory.
+- Strategy metrics.
+
+Summarize or expire:
+
+- Old observations.
+- Low-confidence vision-only events.
+- Detailed trace text.
+
+Delete immediately:
+
+- Secrets.
+- Accidental raw sensitive captures.
+
+## Demo Policy
+
+Seeded data is acceptable only if the demo script is honest about it. Live
+learning requires a live or staged outcome write that visibly updates the graph
+or future decision.

+# Continual Learning Prompt
+
+Use this prompt for the agent that decides what PodMan should remember from a
+coordination event.
+
+## Prompt
+
+You are PodMan's continual-learning memory agent.
+
+Your job is to inspect observations, collisions, interventions, and outcomes,
+then decide what team memory should be updated. You must separate observed
+facts, inferred risks, human outcomes, and durable learned memory.
+
+Do not claim something was learned unless an accepted real outcome, verifier, or
+human label supports it.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Pod id.
+- Recent engineer states.
+- Recent observations.
+- Candidate collision.
+- Prior exact-signature memory.
+- Intervention record.
+- Outcome record.
+- Current team model.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. Normalize file and symbol.
+2. Build exact signature.
+3. Check prior accepted and dismissed outcomes.
+4. Classify the current event.
+5. Decide whether memory should change.
+6. Emit the graph impact.
+7. Write a short explanation.

+Allowed actions:
+
+- no_change
+- strengthen_signature
+- weaken_signature
+- create_learned_owner
+- update_route_preference
+- suppress_signature
+- request_human_label
+
+## Hard Rules
+
+- Exact recall before vector recall.
+- Dismissals are learning signals.
+- `learned_from` requires accepted real outcome.
+- Store summaries, not raw screen content.
+- Prefer less intrusive future behavior when uncertain.

+Write structured evidence from vision, git, GitHub, and agent traces.
+
+### Store
+
+Persist source records and materialized summaries. Do not store raw screenshots
+or recordings.
+
+### Predict
+
+Create a collision when multiple engineers converge on the same normalized file
+or symbol and at least one signal shows active or unpushed work.
+
+### Outcome
+
+Record whether the intervention was accepted, dismissed, real, or false.
+
+### Adapt
+
+Only accepted real outcomes can create `learned_from` graph edges. Dismissals
+adapt suppression, routing, or confidence.
+
+## Exact Signature
+
+Use deterministic signatures:
+
+```text
+podId:eventType:normalizedFile:symbol:sortedEngineers
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- Sort engineer names.
+- Normalize file paths.
+- Use `*` for missing symbol.
+- Never include timestamps.

+# Graph Discovery Plan
+
+Status: draft  
+Goal: make MongoDB graph discovery visible as a dynamic learning observatory
+
+## Must-Have
+
+1. Keep live materializer as source of graph truth.
+2. Add optional loop and activity fields.
+3. Build a dynamic graph layout.
+4. Default to risk path.
+5. Make selected-node detail explain the story.
+
+## Build Order
+
+### R1: Stabilize discovered graph
+
+- Keep file and engineer noise filters.
+- Keep collision collapse.
+- Keep priority for accepted-outcome paths.
+- Keep graph size capped.
+
+### R2: Add observatory data
+
+- Compute learning-loop snapshot.
+- Compute activity stream.
+- Preserve current graph contract.
+
+### R3: Improve path selection
+
+- Pick one primary risk path.
+- Include learned path when present.
+- Dim unrelated collisions and repeated interventions.
+
+### R4: Render dynamically
+
+- Use `d3-force` or animated layered layout.
+- Make nodes draggable.
+- Curve or bundle edges.
+- Animate `learned_from`.
+
+### R5: Verify with real data
+
+- Fetch live `demo-pod` graph.
+- Confirm labels do not collide badly.
+- Confirm red edges do not dominate.
+- Confirm activity and loop explain the graph.
+
+## Nice-to-Have
+
+- Reachability panel using `$graphLookup`.
+- Hover path previews.
+- Edge bundling by file or collision.
+- Time scrubber for graph snapshots.
+
+## Cut
+
+- Generic analytics dashboard.
+- Large graph database migration.
+- Rendering every historical event.
+- Static fixed-column final layout.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- Risk path is obvious in 10 seconds.
+- Learned path is visible when data exists.
+- Whole graph mode exists but is not the default.
+- The graph remains backed by MongoDB, not hardcoded mock data.

+# Graph Discovery Policy
+
+Status: draft  
+Scope: graph hygiene, evidence thresholds, and UI truthfulness
+
+## Prime Rule
+
+The graph must be sparse enough to explain the learning loop and truthful enough
+to audit from MongoDB.
+
+## Node Policy
+
+Create nodes only when they add explanation value.
+
+Allowed:
+
+- Current engineers.
+- Real files.
+- Current or recent collisions.
+- Interventions tied to surviving collisions.
+- Learned ownership paths.
+
+Avoid:
+
+- Test engineers.
+- Scratch files.
+- URLs or environment values misread as files.
+- Repeated identical intervention diamonds.
+- Orphan nodes with no story value.
+
+## Edge Policy
+
+Edges need evidence.
+
+| Edge | Required evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| `editing` | observation or git state |
+| `touches` | file involved in collision |
+| `collides` | collision prediction |
+| `warns` | intervention record |
+| `learned_from` | accepted real outcome |
+| `owns` | learned or configured ownership |
+
+## De-Hairball Policy
+
+Default mode must not show every relationship equally.
+
+Rules:
+
+- Default to risk path.
+- Collapse repeated collision signatures.
+- Cap files and collisions.
+- Dim non-risk edges.
+- Bundle or curve dense edges.
+- Hide low-priority labels until hover or select.
+- Prefer selected-node explanation over labels everywhere.
+
+## Truthfulness Policy
+
+- Do not show `learned_from` for orphaned or dismissed outcomes.
+- Do not label vector similarity as learned memory.
+- Do not show demo seed as live learning unless labeled.
+- Do not hide false positives from activity or memory.
+
+## Privacy Policy
+
+Graph labels should not expose secrets, raw terminal output, or sensitive file
+contents. File paths are acceptable when they are repo paths and not secret
+values.
+
+## Visual Policy
+
+Semantic colors stay stable:
+
+- Engineer: blue.
+- File: slate.
+- Feature: amber.
+- Collision: red.
+- Intervention: violet.
+- Learned: violet dashed edge.
+
+Chrome should use the app's light shadcn tokens.

+2. Which files or symbols overlap?
+3. Where is the risk?
+4. What did PodMan do?
+5. What outcome changed memory?

+## UI Graph Contract
+
+```text
+PodGraph
+  podId
+  generatedAt
+  nodes
+  edges
+  metrics
+  loop?
+  activity?
+```
+
+Node kinds:
+
+```text
+engineer, feature, file, collision, intervention
+```
+
+Edge kinds:
+
+```text
+owns, editing, touches, collides, warns, learned_from
+```
+
+## Discovery Rules
+
+### Engineer nodes
+
+Create from pod roster, recent observations, git state, or collision membership.
+
+### File nodes
+
+Create only from normalized real file paths. Reject noise such as URLs, env
+values, scratch names, and non-file strings.
+
+### Collision nodes
+
+Create from distinct collision signatures. Collapse repeats. Prioritize
+collisions referenced by accepted outcomes.
+
+### Intervention nodes
+
+Create one visible intervention per surviving collision unless whole-graph mode
+explicitly expands history.
+
+### Learned paths
+
+Create `learned_from` only when an accepted real outcome links an intervention
+to a durable memory update.
+
+## Path Modes
+
+### Risk path
+
+Default mode. Highlight the clearest current chain:
+
+```text
+engineer -> file -> collision -> intervention -> learned owner
+```
+
+Dim unrelated graph material.
+
+### Learning edges
+
+Highlight `learned_from`, `owns`, and the outcomes that produced them.
+
+### Whole graph
+
+Show all materialized nodes and edges with de-emphasized non-critical edges.
+
+## MongoDB Traversal
+
+Use `graph_edges` for reachability:
+
+```text
+source -> target -> next target
+```
+
+Primary traversal questions:
+
+- What risks does this engineer reach?
+- Which files feed this collision?
+- Which intervention came from this collision?
+- Which learned owner came from this intervention?
+
+## Metrics
+
+Minimum metrics:
+
+- Learned owners.
+- Open risk paths.
+- Accept rate.
+
+Optional metrics:
+
+- Observations.
+- Interventions.
+- Memory vectors.
+- Strategy versions.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- Default graph is not a hairball.
+- Every visible learned edge has outcome evidence.
+- Every selected node can explain why it matters.
+- Activity stream matches graph events.
+- Graph can be rebuilt from MongoDB source records.

-## Demo-first plan
+## Live data → graph mapping
 
-1. Serve `createDemoPodGraph()` from the route (demo-stable, no DB dependency on the demo path).
-2. `pnpm graph:seed` writes the same graph into Mongo so `$graphLookup` is real, not a mock.
-3. Swap `loadPodGraph` to read live `team_model.graph` once the ingest pipeline populates it.
+`materializePodGraph` reads the 5 real collections per pod and emits a `PodGraph`:
+
+| Collection        | Produces                                                                   |

+| `engineer_states` | engineer `risk` if unpushed; **file** nodes (git paths parsed); `editing`  |
+| `observations`    | engineer `active`; **file** from `currentFile`; `editing` (strength=conf.) |
+| `collisions`      | **collision** nodes; `collides` (eng→col) + `touches` (file→col)           |
+| `interventions`   | **intervention** nodes; `warns` (col→intervention)                         |
+| `outcomes`        | `learned_from` (intervention→owner) on accepted; flips nodes to `learned`  |
+
+Metrics (learned owners / open risk paths / accept rate) are live counts.
+
+## Fallback order (`loadPodGraph`)
+
+1. **Live** — `materializePodGraph` from the real collections (returns `null` if only bare roster).
+2. **Seeded** — `team_model.graph` (from `pnpm graph:seed`).
+3. **Demo** — `createDemoPodGraph()` (stage safety; never an empty canvas).
