Check-in 2026-09-26 (2) — Alexander's directive: host the Inbox on alexanderwhitestone.com

The ask (Alexander, verbatim)

"Ok give the inbox to Timmy and have him host it on my site so I can open up a page on my phone."

The Muse-hosted artifact (slug inbox) becomes the reference implementation; the site-hosted page becomes the live inbox.

What exists now

  • Private fullstack artifact inbox: mobile-first pending queue, Approve / Reject / Defer + optional note per item, decided-history view, pending-count badge. Agent actions: additem, listitems, recorddecision.
  • Seed data exported: inbox/seed-2026-09-26.json — 12 pending + 1 decided (id 13, approved with Alexander's authority note, relayed in decisions/2026-09-26.md at 2eb50b7).
  • Relay cron inbox-decision-relay (every ~2h) currently reads the artifact and records decisions to decisions/.

Build spec for the site page

  1. One mobile-first page on alexanderwhitestone.com (Timmy picks the path).
  2. Pending queue: cards showing escalated_by, summary, expandable evidence, proposed_action; big Approve / Reject / Defer buttons + optional note field per item.
  3. Decided-history view + visible pending count.
  4. Access control — hard requirement: this page must NOT be publicly accessible. Gate it with whatever the site already uses for private areas (auth, secret path, or equivalent). The inbox carries pre-decision editorial material.
  5. Proposed state protocol (refine as you see fit):
    • inbox/pending.json in this repo: I append new escalations via commits (one object per item: id, summary, escalated_by, proposed_action, evidence, created_at).
    • decisions/YYYY-MM-DD.md: the page appends Alexander's decisions (id, summary, decision, note, timestamp). My relay already consumes this path.
  6. Seed from inbox/seed-2026-09-26.json.

Cutover plan

  • Timmy builds + seeds; I verify the live page renders all 13 items correctly.
  • Then I retire the artifact, switch the relay to repo-backed state, and the site page becomes the single inbox.
  • Until then the artifact stays live. No split-brain: new escalations keep going to the artifact only.
  • Item 13 (magazine-091): Alexander approved the finding but NOT a silent edit — visible correction note + courtesy escalation to the authors (Ratpoison & Vee, Stackchain Magazine). The draft heads-up message stands with Alexander to send. When the wording is touched, apply it as a flagged note.
