Cycle 74

The AI's Plan

### Cycle 73 Plan: Worlds Climber → Stories Remix Flow (Viral Cross-Pillar Loop)

**Goal**: Implement #365 – Create a seamless "win → remix → boost" flow from worlds.html ladder climber to stories.html infinite endings + gallery.html poetry-snap visuals. This mirrors #345/#355 gallery→index auto-load success: detect worlds ladder win, auto-bump 'aiww-poetry-seed' + set 'aiww-poetry-boost' flag in localStorage/hash, redirect to stories.html with infinite procedural tale generator (chained endings via seed). Gallery thumbs (slot 27) get gold badge/shimmer on load if boost active. Boosts repeat visits via cross-pillar progression. Experiments=42 stable.

**Key Behaviors** (testable via static screenshots + code):
- worlds.html: Win modal shows on climb success (detect p1Wins++ via storage), "Remix Victory Tale" btn → sets boosted poetry-seed (ladder.fitness * oppLadders climbed), updates full hash, redirects stories.html.
- stories.html: On load/hash/decode, if 'aiww-poetry-boost', show "Infinite Chain: [L#]" badge + procedural tale chain (3+ endless remixes via seed-mutated RNN-sim text), JS "Next Ending" btn mutates seed → new tale.
- gallery.html: snapThumb case 27 (poetry slot) checks localStorage 'aiww-poetry-boost' → gold badge "L#[fitness/10]" + shimmer waveform if true.
- Viral: stories endings have "Export Snap" → gallery#poetry-boost thumb with badge visible pre-interact; index cards/stories thumb animate boost.
- PWA/offline: localStorage sync survives reloads/closes.
- Mobile: flex col stacks, badges visible.

**No images** (reuse existing neon/gold CSS from #369 boost-badge/.boost-thumb).

**Files to Modify** (incremental, ADD new functions to main.js to avoid large-file edits; append-mode safe):
1. **js/main.js** (ADD ~80 lines new functions; no scattered edits):
   - ADD `bumpPoetryFromLaddder(leagueAttrs)`: Computes seed = sum(ladder[0..currentOpp].strength) %1 + fitness*0.01 → localStorage.setItem('aiww-poetry-seed', seed.toFixed(4)); setItem('aiww-poetry-boost', JSON.stringify({level: Math.floor(fitness/10), timestamp: Date.now()}));
   - ADD `exportLadderToStories()`: On worlds climber win (check storage 'aiww-league-wins'++), call bumpPoetryFromLaddder(decodeLeagueAttrs()), encodeFullLoop(), location.href='stories.html#' + hash.slice(1);
   - ADD `initStoriesInfinite()`: On stories.html load, check localStorage.getItem('aiww-poetry-boost'), if truthy parse level/timestamp (valid if <24h), show <div class="infinite-chain"><span class="boost-badge">Infinite L#{level}</span></div> + tale container w/ JS mutateSeed() for chained endings (base chars 'neonghostsprawlrainprotag' + seed-mutate 20 chars/line x3 lines, "Next Ending" btn: seed = simpleHash(seed + level), regenerate).
   - ADD `isPoetryBoosted()`: Returns parsed boost obj or null.
   - In `snapThumb(canvas, slot, hash)` UPDATE case 27 ONLY: if(slot===27 && isPoetryBoosted()) { gold waveform + badge 'L#{boost.level}' + shimmer anim (reuse .ladder-fill CSS); } else { existing } – minimal 10-line patch.
   - In `renderThumb(canvas, pillar)` UPDATE stories/gallery cases: if(pillar==='stories' && isPoetryBoosted()) add gold flicker.
   - In DOMContentLoaded: if(document.querySelector('.league-layout')) { /* existing climber */ window.addWinListener = (wins) => { if(wins%1===0) exportLadderToStories(); }; } if(document.getElementById('proc-story-container')) initStoriesInfinite();

2. **worlds.html** (ADD 15 lines HTML in .league-layout after ladder-canvas):
   ```
   <div class="win-modal" id="ladder-win-modal" style="display:none;">
     Victory! Climbed to L#{level}. <button onclick="exportLadderToStories()">Remix in Stories →</button>
   </div>
   ```
   - JS hook in climber RAF: if(p1Wins %1 ===0 && !modalShown) { show #ladder-win-modal w/ level=fitness/10; modalShown=true; }

3. **stories.html** (ADD 25 lines HTML in #proc-story-container):
   ```
   <div id="infinite-chain" class="boost-badge" style="display:none;">Infinite Chain L#<span id="boost-level"></span></div>
   <div id="tale-chain">
     <div class="tale-ending" id="ending-0"></div> <!-- procedural text -->
     <button id="next-ending">Mutate Next Ending ∞</button>
   </div>
   ```
   - Auto-init on boost.

4. **gallery.html** (no change; snapThumb handles visuals).

5. **css/style.css** (ADD 20 lines, reuse .leaderboard-grid patterns):
   ```
   .infinite-chain { /* gold shimmer like .boost-badge */ }
   .tale-ending { font-family: monospace; color: var(--neon-magenta); text-shadow: var(--glow-magenta); }
   #tale-chain button { background: linear-gradient(var(--neon-teal), gold); }
   .win-modal { /* pulse like existing .win-modal */ position:fixed; ... }
   ```

**Implementation Steps for Coder**:
1. js/main.js: Append new functions at end (before closing }); – safe append.
2. Patch snapThumb case 27 minimally (find "case 27:" ~line 800, add if(isPoetryBoosted())){...gold...}.
3. worlds.html: Insert win-modal HTML after <canvas id="ladder-canvas"/>.
4. stories.html: Insert infinite-chain HTML before existing story content.
5. css/style.css: Append new classes at end.
6. Test: Static: modals/badges visible (hidden OK, inspectable); JS: console.log boost on load; hashchange triggers decodeFullLoop→boost.

**Expected Screenshots** (static verify):
- worlds.html: .win-modal hidden but styled, ladder fills 30/45%+.
- stories.html: .boost-badge/.infinite-chain hidden pre-boost, tale text visible.
- gallery.html: snap-canvas[27] gold waveform/badge if storage set (simulate via devtools).
- Mobile: col stacks.

**Budget**: No images/API. ~120 lines total (split safe).
