Timeline

Start

Scope confirmed

Zeb's feedback: cleaner split (page.tsx as server wrapper), data.ts discipline, snapshots not live metrics, Use the OS as default tab, mobile fixes.

30m

Data layer built

data.ts (365 lines): TABS, HEALTH_METRICS, FORGE_LOOP_STEPS, SESSION_ARC_STEPS, USE_OS_PROCEDURES, GATES, patterns, journal, metrics, learning types.

50m

Section components created

UseTheOSSection (NEW), LoopsSection, ArcSection, GatesSection, PatternsSection, JournalSection, MetricsSection, ExplainSection.

60m

Client + page wrapper

OSGuideClient.tsx (70 lines) owns state + layout. page.tsx (5 lines) is boring server wrapper. Mobile grids fixed to grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2/3.

70m

Build & verify

npm run build ✓ zero errors. tsc --noEmit ✓ passes. All 8 sections render correctly. Default tab is 'use' (operator manual).

What shipped

data.ts — plain data objects, no JSX, all content structured (tabs, steps, gates, metrics, learning types, compounding story)

OSGuideClient.tsx — client component with useState, tab switching, section rendering

page.tsx — 5-line server wrapper importing OSGuideClient

UseTheOSSection.tsx — NEW operator manual: 6 procedures (Start, Choose, Declare, Build, Handle, Harvest)

LoopsSection, ArcSection, GatesSection, PatternsSection, JournalSection, MetricsSection, ExplainSection — independent section components

Mobile-responsive grids — grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2/3 throughout

“Boring page files are good. They do not summon goblins.”
