REFLECTIONS COMPLETE

🎉 Reflections App - Complete Implementation

✅ What's Been Built

1. Backend API (lab4-proof/)

  • ✅ GIC Reward System: Private (+10) / Publish (+25) tiers
  • ✅ Enhanced Endpoints: /sweep, /verify, /index with GIC tracking
  • ✅ CORS Support: Ready for frontend integration
  • ✅ File Integrity: Merkle roots and verification
  • ✅ Duplicate Detection: Content hash-based deduplication

2. Frontend App (reflections/)

  • ✅ Next.js App: Modern React with TypeScript
  • ✅ Dark Theme: Beautiful mobile-first design
  • ✅ GIC Integration: Real-time reward tracking
  • ✅ Chamber Selection: Reflections, Lab4, Market, etc.
  • ✅ Daily Workflow: Seed → Sweep → Seal interface

3. MCP Integration (lab4-proof/)

  • ✅ Cursor AI Tools: Direct API access from editor
  • ✅ Helper Scripts: Auto-hashing reflection commands
  • ✅ Environment Switching: Dev/Prod configurations
  • ✅ Test Scripts: Full API validation

🚀 Quick Start

1. Start Your API

cd lab4-proof
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8000

2. Start Your Frontend

cd reflections
npm install
npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:3000

3. Use MCP in Cursor

# Copy environment template
Copy-Item env.template .env
# Edit .env with your API keys
# Reload Cursor

📱 Frontend Features

  • Phone-like Interface: Rounded card design
  • Real-time GIC Tracking: See rewards instantly
  • Tier Selection: Private (+10) vs Publish (+25)
  • Chamber Dropdown: Organize by context
  • Ledger Verification: View daily integrity
  • Responsive Design: Works on all devices

🔧 MCP Commands

Simple Reflection

# Windows
.\reflect.ps1 -note "My daily reflection"
.\reflect.ps1 -note "Published reflection..." -intent publish

# Mac/Linux
./reflect.sh "My daily reflection"
./reflect.sh "Published reflection..." publish

Full Workflow

# Seed
mcp run seed --data '{"date":"2025-09-23","time":"09:00:00","intent":"reflect"}'

# Reflect
.\reflect.ps1 -note "Learned about MCP" -intent private

# Seal
mcp run seal --data '{"date":"2025-09-23","wins":"completed setup","blocks":"none","tomorrow_intent":"iterate"}'

# Verify
mcp run verify --params '{"date":"2025-09-23"}'
