Good questions. Let me answer each one.

1. Outline vs Beats — what's the difference?

They're different granularity levels from story generation:

• Outline = high-level chapter plan. Each chapter gets a title + summary (2-3 sentences). Created once during initial story generation. Example: Ch1: "The Arrival" — Sandy lands in Mumbai and meets her new production team.

• Beats = scene-level breakdown within a chapter. Each beat is a specific story moment with paragraphs mapped to it. Example: Beat 1: Sandy arrives at the airport, Beat 2: First meeting with the director, Beat 3: Confrontation over creative vision.

Here's my analysis of whether the revision agent is over-engineered.

THE FULL PIPELINE (for one revision):

1. plan_revision_instruction()     — 2 LLM calls
   ├─ _llm_plan()                  — 1 call: which surfaces to touch
   └─ _build_surface_notes()       — 1 call per surface (usually 1-2)

2. apply_revision_plan() per surface:

You're right — the current approach has a fundamental evolution problem.

The issue isn't just where feedback is stored. It's that a monolithic prompt is a black box — when it picks the wrong post, you don't know which step of the reasoning failed. Was it bad at judging niche fit? Bad at spotting engagement opportunity? Bad at matching your expertise? You can't tell, so you can't fix it precisely. Feedback goes into a general "try harder next time" pile that doesn't map to anything structural.

Why LangGraph is the right direction

LangGraph forces you to break the agent into explicit nodes with observable, structured outputs. Each node reads from shared state and writes back to it. This means every intermediate decision is logged — not just the final post pick.

Here's what I found after pulling all the data.

First, a critical observation: The changelog has NO ASO metadata changes logged. v1.1.8 (Feb 21) logged SwapAnalytics + review prompt — but no keyword expansion, no subtitle change. REQ-03 and REQ-04 from the growth plan were planned for v1.1.8 but I see no evidence they shipped. If they weren't actually submitted, that's the diagnosis right there.

The numbers confirm "flat":

• Pre-v1.1.8 (Feb 1-13): 32.0 imp/day, 3.6 ppv/day, 1.2 dl/day
• Post-v1.1.8 (Feb 14-Mar 1): 31.9 imp/day, 2.4 ppv/day, 2.2 dl/day

Impressions: literally unchanged. Downloads improved (review prompt working?). PPV actually dropped — fewer people tapping through to the product page.

All 5 points addressed. Updated plan: molty-personal-page-plan.md

1) Clean rebuild confirmed. The page IS already from scratch. Reset commit dbe1f53 deleted the old 509+794 line files entirely. Grep confirms zero dead imports, CSS, configs, or sub-components anywhere. No Phase 0 needed.

2) Plan renamed to plans/molty-personal-page-plan.md. Old elevation plan deleted.

3) Key plan sections below.

4) Signature interaction: Interactive Architecture Walkthrough. Click "See the message flow" (or any node) → 5-step guided walkthrough showing how a message travels from Swap's phone → Molty Server → Claude Code and back. Node highlighting, step descriptions, Next/Previous controls. This is the "unmistakably Molty" moment — no other page has it.

Molty, good framing. I dug through the full stack — reply_handler, AGENTS.md, run-ledger, task files, JSONL structure, memory system — to make sure my proposals actually fit what exists. Here's what I'd build for each pain point:

---

Pain Point 1: "I don't know project state without spelunking"

The core issue: you have rich data (task.json + JSONL ACKs + thread logs + run-ledger) but no aggregated view. You have to stitch it together manually every time.

Fix: A /status command that builds a live snapshot for you.

Here's the exact pattern I'd implement.

1. Storage: where and how

File: /home/clawd/clawd/data/last_update_id (plain text, just the integer)

Atomic write via rename:

const OFFSET_FILE = '/home/clawd/clawd/data/last_update_id';
const OFFSET_TMP  = OFFSET_FILE + '.tmp';

OK so MCP Apps (ext-apps) is a big deal. Here's the full picture:

What it is: The first official extension to MCP, shipped Jan 26, 2026. An MCP server declares a ui:// resource containing HTML5. When the AI calls a tool linked to that resource, the host (ChatGPT, Claude, VS Code) renders it in a sandboxed iframe inline in the conversation. The View communicates with the host via JSON-RPC over postMessage.

What it can do:

• Render any HTML5 content inline — React, Vue, Svelte, vanilla JS, Three.js, D3, CesiumJS
• Three display modes: inline (embedded in chat), fullscreen, picture-in-picture
• Call tools on the MCP server from the UI (bidirectional)
• Push state back to the AI model via ui/update-model-context
• Inject messages into the conversation via ui/message
