Mining Log: Forensic Titration M700 & 320-Slot Carousel

Mining Log: Forensic Titration M700 & 320-Slot Carousel

Date: 2026-02-13 Protocol: Conversation Miner V2

Stream A: The Machine (Technical)

src/components/DataViz/ComplexityViz.astro

[FIXED] Schema Mismatch Crash

  • Symptom: TypeError: data.map is not a function when rendering M700.
  • Root Cause: The component expected a simple array [{label, value}] (Legacy Schema), but the new V2.1 complexity_vector is a rich object (part_count_growth, process_density).
  • Fix: Updated ComplexityViz to handle both formats. Added conditional logic to check Array.isArray(data). If it is an object (V2.1), it extracts high-level metrics (Max Part Count, Process Density Score, Tool Chain Nodes).

[UPDATED] Sidecar Law Enforcement

  • Action: Extracted 30+ events from the events frontmatter array into a sidecar file (_entropy.json).
  • Rationale: Law X (Sidecar Law) mandates heavy data arrays must live outside MDX to prevent bloating and context window exhaustion.

[UPDATED] Scars Law Enforcement

  • Action: Renamed scars frontmatter field to scars per V2.1 schema.
  • Rationale: Standardizing nomenclature for narrative hooks.

[CREATED] New Case Study

  • Action: Hydrated a new “deep dive” project linked to M700.
  • Schema: V2.1 (Full Forensics).
  • Narrative: “The Potato Chip Pathology” / “Tight Slot War”.

Stream B: The Operator (Meta/Identity)

[PROPOSED] The Case Study Pattern

  • Definition: Small, high-density project entries that serve as children to a Flagship Parent.
  • Schema: category: module_subsystem.
  • Linking: Must have a manual links entry back to the Parent. Parent must link to Child.
  • Purpose: Allows “Deep Dive” forensics on specific components (e.g., specific plastic parts) without cluttering the main project narrative.

Active Context (For Agency Memory)

  • Current Focus: Forensic Hydration (Goal: ~13 projects).
  • Active Projects: m700 (Parent), 320-slot (Child).
  • Next Steps: Proceed to next forensic target or refine 320-slot visuals.
