The audit's verdict was that Godstrument is short on REACH, not features:
everything hid behind an invisible right-click, and everything you made
died in one tab. Four builds against exactly that.
☰ EVERYTHING — a visible, grouped index of the whole instrument (view /
play / your world / together / out / start here). Labels lead with the
plain verb and wear the god-name behind: "arpeggiator · GODSPEED",
"record to a file · TESTAMENT". Critically it is ONE data-driven list
with TWO renderers — the ☰ panel and the right-click sky menu both
render skyGroups(), so a feature can never appear in one and not the
other. (The sky menu's 90 hand-written lines became a 17-line loop.)
Submenus expand in place, so touch works.
☄ THE OMENS — the instrument always knew when the world was doing
something rare and never said so. Reads the live feeds and ranks what's
remarkable: a full moon, a harmonious sky, satellites overhead, a quake
that just landed, your solar return. One line whispers into the ticker
on arrival; the full reading is a tap away. Verified against the real
planet — it read a 91%-lit moon, an unusually harmonious sky and a
convulsing bitcoin, all true at the time.
🌍 SHARED WORLDS — the whole instrument (cables, grooves, beat, kit,
scale, tempo) folded into one link, gzipped by the browser's own
CompressionStream: ~10KB of patch becomes a ~620-character URL. It
rides the fragment, so nothing is uploaded, no account or gallery is
needed, and there is nothing to take down. The receiver is always
asked, never overwritten, and ⌘Z restores theirs. Round-trip verified:
a 12-wheel hat and 137bpm came back exactly. Deliberately NOT gated on
the hub handshake — a shared link must open even when the hub is down.
📱 THE PHONE FORK — a touch device is offered lifestrument once
(remembered, never forced), and the top bar folds to fit a narrow
screen either way.
Plus: the expression-lane drag was written out byte-identically in
three places; it is now one shared helper that speaks pointer events,
so velocity/chance/ratchet/p-lock lanes work under a thumb too.
Grimoire documents all four; manual regenerated.
