Known Lens Stabilization

June 27, 2026

Fixed the goblin in the TypeScript union, sharpened the lens logic, and proved the furnace actually runs.

KnownFixTypeScript

missing ContextTags added

TypeScript errors fixed

KnownPerson type added

new surfaces added

Timeline

Start

Read all four prototype files

Loaded types.ts, data.ts, lenses.ts, page.tsx to understand current state

tsc --noEmit — 5 errors confirmed

respect, sensory, pattern, dignity missing from ContextTag union; implicit any in groupBy

15m

TypeScript clean

Added four tags, fixed groupBy, updated ALL_TAGS array in lenses.ts

25m

KnownPerson type + callMe fix

Added KnownPerson interface, seedPerson object, changed callMe to string, wired through lens + page

35m

safeTopics lens widened

Removed before_first_visit requirement — now matches any joy/story/humor/pride/connection/identity object that isn't a trigger

40m

What Helps Card renamed

WHAT HELPS CARD → WHAT HELPS WHEN THINGS GET HARD

45m

daysAgo() helper added

Seed data now uses daysAgo(1) — handoff lens always sees recent objects

50m

Build + dev server verified

tsc clean, build passes, /known/prototype returns 200

What shipped

Added 'respect', 'sensory', 'pattern', 'dignity' to ContextTag union (all four are product-meaningful)

Fixed implicit any in lenses.ts groupBy utility

Updated ALL_TAGS array in lenses.ts to match expanded union (gap detection now works correctly)

Added KnownPerson interface (displayName, preferredName, pronouns, relationshipLabel)

Added seedPerson object to data.ts with preferredName: 'Bob'

Changed KnownCard.callMe from string[] to string — now pulls from KnownPerson.preferredName, not identity tags

Widened safeTopics lens: now matches joy/story/humor/pride_point/connection/identity objects that are not triggers/fears/vulnerabilities

Renamed 'WHAT HELPS CARD' → 'WHAT HELPS WHEN THINGS GET HARD'

Added daysAgo() helper to data.ts — seed objects use daysAgo(1) so handoff lens always sees them as recent

Verified: tsc --noEmit clean, npm run build clean, GET /known/prototype → 200

“dignity is a load-bearing beam”
— Zeb's pre-session brief — on why 'dignity' must be a real ContextTag, not aliased to 'boundary'
