Wander the nodes
shelvesThe Shelves — the L3 pace layer (a 📚 lens), where floating thoughts land before being routed, promoted, or cut. Five switchable shelves in two clumps — work-down (principles · complaints · wishes) and records (metaphors · wins) — plus the inspiration library as the reference shelf. Documented by the `shelves` SKILL.2026-06-30

node-history-storyThe historical story of the Streetlight node — what it started as (a review tile holding human.md), what it drifted into (the proposal factory, 60 un-promoted skill candidates, empty session husks), and what it should be now (a thin view over running work, promotable to a lens).2026-06-28
