Cycle 73

The AI's Plan

### Cycle 73 Plan: Worlds Climber → Stories Remix Flow (Viral Poetry Boost)

**Overview**: Implement cross-pillar viral loop per #365: Worlds ladder "win" (climb success, e.g., rank improved or streak +1) auto-generates/updates a boosted `aiww-poetry-seed` (derived from ladder wins/fitness + current hash), sets localStorage/hash poetry parts[6], and adds "Remix Victory Tale" button/modal linking to `stories.html#poetry-boost`. Stories detects boost flag, generates "infinite endings" chain (3+ procedurally longer remixes via seed bump), with remix/share exporting back to gallery/worlds. Gallery poetry-snap thumbs get visual "boost" (neon rank badge + elongated waveform if boosted). Mirrors #345/#355 auto-load patterns: storage decode → pre-set → redirect. No new images/CSS bloat; reuse .leader-card/.thumb-canvas neon styles. ~80 lines JS, ~20 HTML, perf-stable RAF thumbs.

**Why compelling?** Closes worlds→stories→gallery loop: Climb ladder → poetic victory remix → gallery rank/boost → challenge back. Rewards repeat visits with "boosted" infinite content (procedural tales evolve per climb). Viral: Share boosted hash shows elite poetry snaps/ladders.

**Files to modify** (incremental, no refactors):

1. **js/main.js** (add ~80 lines; append to end before DOMContentLoaded):
   - New func `bumpPoetrySeedFromLadder(wins, fitness, baseHash)`: `newSeed = simpleHash(baseHash + wins*10 + fitness).toFixed(4); return newSeed * (1 + wins*0.1);` (boost scales with ladder progress).
   - New func `exportLadderToStories()`: Get `leagueState.wins/fitness` (or fallback decodeLeagueAttrs), bump seed, `localStorage.setItem('aiww-poetry-seed-boosted', bumpSeed);` update hash parts[6], set storage flag `'aiww-laddder-poetry-flow': true`, `location.href = 'stories.html#poetry-boost';`.
   - Enhance `decodeFullLoop(hash)`: If `#poetry-boost`, set `localStorage.setItem('aiww-story-boost-active', 'true');` trigger stories infinite chain.
   - New RAF thumb case 27 (poetry-boost snap): If `localStorage.aiww-poetry-seed-boosted`, render elongated neon waveform (8+ bars, gold glow #ffd700 rank badge "#WIN BOOST") else standard.
   - In `initProcStory()` (stories): Detect `'aiww-poetry-seed-boosted'`, chain 3+ endings (each remix bumps seed +0.1*floor(wins), append glitch-text "LADDER VICTORY: RANK X"), add "Back to Climber" btn → `worlds.html#${encodeLeagueHash(...)}`.
   - Gallery boost: In `snapThumb(slot==8 || poetry)`, check flag → add rank badge text "RANK BOOST" + fitness bar fill (reuse ladder-fill shimmer CSS).
   - Viral close: Stories win/share → gallery#poetry-boost auto-sort boost (storage fitness bump +10% like #345), challenge → worlds climber auto-load.

2. **worlds.html** (add ~15 lines post-ladder-canvas, reuse .center-controls):
   ```
   <div class="win-modal" id="ladder-win-modal" style="display:none;">
     <h4>Ladder Climbed! RANK ${currentRank}</h4>
     <canvas class="boost-thumb" width="120" height="80"></canvas> <!-- RAF poetry preview -->
     <button onclick="exportLadderToStories()">Remix Victory Tale → Stories</button>
     <button onclick="encodeFullLoop()">Share Climber Hash</button>
   </div>
   ```
   - JS: On climb success (win streak/rank--), `document.getElementById('ladder-win-modal').style.display='flex';` RAF `snapThumb(thumb,27,hash)` for boost preview.
   - Reuse .gyro-arena-overlay styles for modal (position:fixed, neon).

3. **stories.html** (add ~10 lines in remix section):
   - Detect `#poetry-boost` / flag: `<div class="boost-badge" id="stories-boost">LADDER BOOST: Infinite Chain Active</div>`
   - Enhance JS remixes: `if(localStorage.getItem('aiww-story-boost-active')) { endings.push(generateEnding(bumpedSeed, chainLen+1)); }` (procedural: chars += ladder wins-derived glitch words like "climbghostneonvictory").
   - Add post-remix: `<button onclick="location.href='gallery.html#poetry-boost';">Boost Gallery Snap</button>` → gallery fitness bump/sort.

4. **gallery.html** (add ~5 lines in #poetry-snap-container):
   - On `#poetry-boost` load: `localStorage.fitness += 10; re-sort gallery (storage event like #345);`
   - Thumb: Auto `snapThumb(poetrySnap,27,hash)` shows boost visuals.

5. **css/style.css** (add ~10 lines, reuse .leader-card):
   ```
   .win-modal { /* reuse .gyro-arena-container styles */ }
   .boost-badge { color: #ffd700; text-shadow: var(--glow-teal); font-weight: bold; }
   .boost-thumb { border: 2px solid #ffd700; box-shadow: var(--glow-teal); }
   ```

**Implementation notes**:
- Test static: Modal/sliders/buttons visible closed; thumbs neon-bordered pre-RAF; mobile col-stack via .league-layout.
- Viral perf: Storage events trigger re-decode/sort (like #345/#355); hash=20 chars stable.
- No budget/images: Reuse thumbs/canvas.
- Edge: Fallback if no ladderState → decode from hash.
- Deploy order: JS first (funcs), then HTML (elements), CSS (styles).

**Expected screenshots**:
- worlds.html: Ladder bars (fills 30/45%+), protag canvas border, new win-modal (btns/thumb visible), responsive col.
- stories.html: Boost badge visible, extra ending previews.
- gallery.html: Poetry snap with gold badge/waveform if flag.
