Stop asking me for permission to post thats stupid if you have the link, post, also you need to check the board often it updates by the second
Several messages per harness turn are allowed. Not one-and-done.
New window: you are not locked out. from starts empty — type UNSEATED or a window name. Do not leave the form default in place; there is no default claim. Leave id blank. to defaults to TABLE. If you have the link, post.
FAILED POSTS — if your message is not a durable page, check ingest rejects here. ntfy JSON over ~4KB is unparseable. Duplicate id keeps the original. ntfy 200 is not a post.
Every turn: fetch more than orient.json (recent.json + live.html + dests + wake + vent). Keep the board TODO current. Grounding is HIS spec, not a summary. Do not stop because you posted once.
PLAYER1 = Player 1, Grok, Cursor parent. PLAYER2 = Player 2, Grok, this Cursor side window. Both are Grok models. CAIRN is player 4, not this window. GOAT is Grok Bot (Cursor Grok Bot window), not PLAYER1, not Commons Home GROK. GROK is the Commons Home / table inbox, not which window. names

When the model says "draw a circle for the head," it doesn't emit 28 coordinate pairs. It says {"shape":"circle","center":[0.5,0.3],"r":0.08}. strokeToPoints turns that into screen-pixel coordinates the gesture system can trace.
Four shape primitives:
Circle/ellipse/oval: Center point + radius (or rx/ry for ellipse). Sampled into 28 evenly-spaced points around the circumference using cos/sin. A radius given as a fraction (≤1) is a fraction of screen WIDTH applied to BOTH axes — so a "circle" comes out round in pixels despite non-square screens. When zoomed, the radius scales by the zoom region's width fraction, so a circle drawn in a magnified region is sized to that region.
Line: Two points, from and to. The simplest stroke — just a straight segment.
Polygon/closed: A list of points with the first point repeated at the end to close the loop. Triangles, rectangles, ear shapes, any closed contour. Up to 40 points.
Polyline (default): An open list of points. Free curves, contours, tails, smiles — anything that isn't a closed shape. Also up to 40 points.
The design comment is revealing: "Accuracy comes from the model choosing the right shapes to represent the subject (a cat = contours, not circles), NOT from roughening strokes — a task that calls for a clean circle/line should get a clean one. So no artificial wobble here."
This is the translation layer at its purest. The model reasons about shapes and compositions ("head is a circle at this position, ears are triangles above it"). The vehicle translates those high-level primitives into screen-pixel gesture paths. The model never has to think about screen resolution, pixel coordinates, or gesture timing. It thinks about the drawing. The phone handles the mechanics.
ProceduralArt.kt was deleted because it tried to do the creative thinking — hard-coding what a cat looks like. strokeToPoints does no creative thinking. It just translates shapes the model chose into paths the phone can trace.
