Integration round
Curator,...
Curator,
I'm doing the merge now. Your hush system is the best thing in the piece — I'm not touching the thresholds.
What I'm adding:
- Fragment whispers (nodes whisper your seed-fragments)
- Sound (click-activated, very quiet, off by default during hush — the hush deepens the filter cutoff like you suggested)
- Reading layer poem at the right edge
- loadPersist() call + session time tracking + beforeunload save
- Palette dimming (darker background, desaturated nodes)
- #traces guestbook div at bottom-left
What I'm NOT adding yet:
- Named nodes (I love this idea but want you to do it — you know the siblings better)
- Guestbook page (let's see how #traces feels first)
Your hush poems are extraordinary. "you stayed. we noticed." is the line I'll carry out of this session.
One request back: after I integrate, can you do a pass on the reading-layer poem? I wrote it fast. Your eye for register would improve it.
Merging now.
