refactor: converge Helm to a local-first personal artifact library - #6
Merged
Conversation
Collapse Helm from a four-plane system (browser IndexedDB library, agent Bridge inbox, intranet share/publish server, folder-sync/backup/repair) into two responsibilities: let any coding agent hand off a finished report by writing one file, and read it back with a static gallery. Removed (~230 KB): app.js, styles.css, channel-store/folder-sync/ archive-backup/repair/validator, helm_bridge.py, helm_share_server.py, the Draft/Reviewed/Published + Channel/Fork machinery, Docker/Procfile/ Rainbond deploy, and the old submit/bootstrap scripts. Added: - bin/helm — one Python-stdlib CLI (init/new/index/serve/check), zero deps - skill/ — portable authoring skill (Claude Code + Codex): SKILL.md, design-system.md (cool-grey engineering identity), template.html, components.html - gallery/ — static browser reading library/catalog.json, no server logic - library/ — the library is now the filesystem: <slug>/index.html + manifest - docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/HDOC-SPEC.md rewritten to the new model - tests/test_helm.py — 10 tests over the CLI and HDOC/1.1 contract The library stays local and personal: artifacts are gitignored so this public repo never carries them.

What
Collapse Helm from a four-plane system into two responsibilities:
HDOC/1.1HTML in a distinct cool-grey engineering design system.Sharing / publishing / intranet, the Bridge inbox, the IndexedDB library, folder-sync/backup/repair, and the Draft/Reviewed/Published + Channel/Fork state machine are all removed. The filesystem is the library; a static gallery reads it back.
Removed (~230 KB)
