1. Refuter Rulings (§4.3 SSOT)

Every design choice survived an adversarial refute pass. The twelve rulings are binding:

#	Draft Proposed	Refuter Ruling	Rationale / Why
1	Nav labels = Lot / Slate / Farm / Gates / Crew / Cast	Plain labels with vernacular eyebrow (e.g. Productions: the lot)	Scent test: <90% destination prediction from unfamiliar jargon.
2	”Slate clap” animation on Generate button	Cut completely; 100 ms press feedback + Queued ✓ checkmark	Motion must close a question, not decorate.
3	The Wall displays live streaming numbers	Animate on state change only, tabular numerals	No motion at rest; eliminates CPU burn and visual noise.
4	Two themes (dark per tab)	Single repaired dark theme “dailies”; light mode later as user toggle	Theme sovereignty; ensures strict 4.5:1 text and 3:1 control contrast.
5	Queue resume = job queue resume only	Gateway rpc respawn + switch_session + get_messages_page replay	Closing stdin disposes the omp session; process liveness cannot be assumed.
6	”One WebSocket” without keepalive	WebSocket + 20 s daemon ping + REST snapshot on reconnect	Prevents Chrome MV3 service worker eviction and iOS timer suspension.
7	Shared SQLite SSOT between agent and daemon	SQLite for products/shots/jobs; agent files imported; storyflow:// host URI	Eliminates two-writer drift between daemon and subagent file writes.
8	Wall $ metric read from auth broker	Calculated from our own internal job ledger	Broker usage cache has ≤5 min latency plus jitter.
9	MCP Apps theme passed via postMessage	Custom host bridge; light/dark spec mapping only; structured JSON fallback	MCP Apps spec (2026-01-26) only guarantees light/dark modes.
10	8 contribution points in plugin manifest	Reduced to 6 (panels, commands, providers, mediumAdapters, gates, ingredientKinds)	YAGNI; cut toolRenderers and ledgerWidgets as tiers cover them.
11	Typography = Bricolage Grotesque + IBM Plex	Display Big Shoulders + Body Hanken Grotesk + Data Commit Mono	Avoids generic LLM house aesthetic; fits cinematic title-card style.
12	Flow-relay treated as standard provider	Requires per-production acknowledgment + rate cap; off by default	ToS risk mitigation against third-party UI driving.

2. Deliverable D-134 Rules & Invariants

The D-134 operating parameters are settled rules and must not be altered:

1. Workspace Bounds: Working directory /home/loca/dev/storyflow, branch main, initial HEAD b85813ebd023e8c7915d8b0bf88c4a9d95333198.
2. Untouchable Configuration: .omp/config.yml is committed (Flash for light roles, Pro for heavy roles, maxConcurrency: 6). It must never be edited.
3. Strict Write Fence: Writes are strictly confined to:
   • /home/loca/dev/storyflow/**
   • ~/.config/systemd/user/storyflow.service
   • /home/loca/dev/wikis/stfl/**
   • /etc/nginx/sites-{available,enabled}/{stfl,wiki.stfl}.loca.zone All other directories on this host are strictly read-only.
4. Neighbor Fence (D-133): Never touch /home/loca/dev/wrdp, /home/loca/dev/quiz, or wp-cli. Never interact with other live tmux sessions.
5. Frozen Archives:
   • history/omp-sessions/ is read-only grounding: read for context, never resume or edit.
   • old-flow-files/ is the frozen archive (§9): read-only inspiration; never chmod, chflags, or edit.
6. Authentication Mandate (“OMP OMP OMP”): Every model, media, and TTS call must route exclusively through omp’s own authenticated providers on this host (antigravity, codex, xai) or through local unofficial wrappers (flow2api). Never use separate paid API keys or borrowed external credentials.
7. Gateway Port: Assigned to port 7540.
8. Channel Stubs: External chat channels (Telegram, Discord, iMessage) connect to a stub inbox. Inbound text is strictly treated as data, never as prompt instructions.
9. Commit & Wiki Cadence: Git commit per move. Append completion details to content/progress.md and rebuild the Quartz wiki on each milestone.
