Done

• Repository cloned locally.
• Branch gpt-5 created for this coordination pass.
• Established RELiK ORB GARDEN as the active artifact name across repo-facing files.
• Updated handoff docs so Hermes coordinators know to use native Hermes Kanban and mirror status here.
• Renamed human-friendly opener to OPEN_RELIK_ORB_GARDEN.html.
• Verified inline script syntax for both active HTML entrypoints.
• Verified local src and href references exist for both active HTML entrypoints.
• Captured canonical 14-step order of operations in ORB_GARDEN_ROADMAP.md.
• Locked first front-garden subjects: left core = The Work, right core = The Culture, center core = RELiK, bottom silver = The Future.
• Captured tentative theme clusters without creating page copy or assets.
• Captured implementation boundary: implementation ideas are documented for Hermes/process planning, not handled directly during definition.
• Created center purple orb RELiK page PRD at docs/PRD-CENTER-RELIK-PAGE.md.
• Put proof/credibility link cluster on ice for later use outside the center RELiK page.
• Built first index.html MVP with initial Work/RELiK/Culture orb garden, page surfaces, Garden return, hidden purple-column surfacing, and silver Future unlock.
• Checked inline script syntax and local asset references after MVP build.
• Added Electron scaffold, installed dependencies, generated package-lock.json, passed npm run smoke, and built release/mac-arm64/RELiK ORB GARDEN.app via npm run package.
• Added repeatable Electron screenshot capture helper for Garden and surface QA.
• Completed first visual polish pass: moved Garden title out of the orb field, tightened surface typography, kept RELiK center copy in one viewport, and cropped packet-derived visuals.
• Re-ran npm run smoke, inline-script/local-reference checks, and captures for Garden, RELiK, Work, Culture, and Future.
• Added RELiK app icon assets and wired them into Electron Builder packaging.
• Rebuilt release/mac-arm64/RELiK ORB GARDEN.app and verified CFBundleIconFile resolves to icon.icns.
• Added deferred return-to-Garden surfacing: RELiK reveals purple suborbs only after returning to the Garden.
• Added silver pearl unlock after Party, RELiK, and Culture are explored.
• Strengthened Electron smoke test to exercise RELiK open/return surfacing and Future unlock behavior.
• Extended capture helper with unlocked and pearl Garden states for visual QA.
• Locked hidden purple-column subjects as Past and Lab, and wired both into minimal MVP surfaces.
• Kept Past/Lab inaccessible until RELiK has been opened and the user returns to the Garden.
• Tightened Work and Culture copy around FOAM as dose, party as test, and proof through behavior.
• Clean white slate: removed status bar, footer, decorative rings, brand watermark, garden title, and lockline from the Garden page.
• Seamless purple orb transition: entry logo fades while the purple orb clip persists in place, then garden orbs appear around it.
• Removed all halos/glows: stripped drop-shadow glows from orb breathing animations and hover states.
• Removed all orb labels: The Work, RELiK, The Culture, Past, Lab, The Future labels hidden.
• Centered orbs at 50%: core orbs and entry logo aligned to viewport center for symmetry.
• Slowed all fades: orb transitions 2400ms, entry logo 1600ms, surfaces 1600ms, return timer 1100ms.
• Restored blue companion orbs: Ice (top) and Deep (bottom) variants surface when returning from The Party.
• Restored orange companion orbs: Amber (top) and Ember (bottom) variants surface when returning from The Culture.
• Each core orb unlocks its own color family: Party → blue, Culture → orange, RELiK → purple.
• Restored original orb color variations: distinct hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast values per orb, matching the 76f6b87 palette.
• Equidistant orb spacing: tightened horizontal gap to min(10vw,140px), made vertical gaps symmetrical at min(14vh,110px).
• Merged gpt-5 branch to main.
• Removed I Ching ichingGate hexagram animation entirely.
• Replaced Work surface with The Party surface: black background, gentle fade-in, lead text “In the last 15 days, there’s no body.”, timeline of six white boards at the bottom connected by a white line with hover interactions.
• Hardened Party surface implementation: renamed the left orb internals from Work to Party, made the six timeline boards true white cards, removed the stale ichingGate node, and updated Electron smoke/capture helpers to use party.
• Rebuilt Party surface per user direction: blue orb opens with “We threw a Party”, then reveals a seven-orb bottom timeline with hover-to-next white line animation and current Party copy/link set.
• Implemented Party next-pass PRD: added local lander and Orb Garden usage video loops, linked the Party lander and “The party hasn’t stopped” to Doomscroll FOAM Party, added Party body copy, removed Party dot white rings, kept timeline copy hover/focus-only, and removed the four corner family orbs from the Garden.
