Three 1440×900 screenshots of the seeded e2e hub for the Product Hunt
gallery (BEA-10): per-file history with agent attribution, Knowledge
Insights heatmap + reads×staleness quadrant, and the main hub file view.

Recorded for the Wed 2026-07-29 beta (BEA-33): /beardrive:install → agent
writes plan.md → teammate's agent reads it fresh → share link. Outputs
replay the real fresh-machine run verified against v0.10.0; vhs tape +
storyboard committed for reproducible re-renders.

A fresh hub following docs/self-hosting.md was a locked room: invite-only
(the default) showed "Sign up disabled" with nobody to mint an invite, and
the approval-gated posture stranded the first admin as pending forever.
Emails on the config's admin list are operator-vetted, so they now
activate immediately on signup (any posture), and while the hub has zero
accounts they may sign up even on an invite-only hub. Strangers still
can't take the bootstrap slot, and the door closes after the first
account. Validated end to end from scratch: hub boot → admin signup →
device-code login × 2 devices → init → bidirectional sync → hooks install.
Also adds the missing GitHub Actions CI workflow (build/vet/test on
ubuntu + macos) — the repo previously had no CI at all.

The landing page sells BearDrive Cloud, so it now lives in the private
cloud module (web/landing, served by the hub at / for signed-out visitors)
instead of this repo. A self-hosted hub should never serve "Start free"
CTAs pointing at our managed service, and marketing for the paid product
doesn't belong in the AGPL tree.
Rebuilt there as an Astro site on the webapp's own design tokens, so the
landing and the app stop drifting apart visually.
Doc pointers updated to the new location.

The hub's install guide told Codex and Hermes users to run four CLI
commands by hand, and the one people skipped — `bdrive hooks install` —
is exactly the one that makes files sync at turn boundaries. Hand the
setup to the agent instead, the way the Claude tab hands it to the
plugin.
- `bdrive skill install` (internal/agentskills, plugin/embed.go): the
binary now carries the beardrive skill and writes it to any agent that
reads SKILL.md — ~/.{claude,codex,gemini,hermes}/skills/beardrive/.
User-level on purpose: the skill is about the CLI, not one folder, and
a synced project folder should never carry it. Idempotent; refreshes a
stale copy after a CLI upgrade. Bare `bdrive skill` prints the table,
mirroring `bdrive hooks`.
- Guide's Codex/Hermes tabs are now a single paste, no terminal: the
prompt has the agent install the CLI, keep the skill, sign in, init,
and register hooks. The commands ride inside the prompt because these
agents ship no BearDrive knowledge (Claude's tab is terse only because
the plugin carries it). `login --device` there — a browser-callback
sign-in is invisible to an agent mid-turn, while the device flow gives
it a code and URL to relay. Plain commands live on in an "or run it
yourself" fallback.
- Docs realigned: README, SKILL.md, /beardrive:install, self-hosting.

Rounds 5 and 6 both scored 9/8/9/9/8/9 with zero repo-fixable
blocker/major findings — the exit bar (two consecutive passes) is met.
Round 6 truth-verified the loop's copy against the code (commands,
Insights sections, hook platforms, url format — all accurate; zero
fabricated proof). Post-exit optional minors applied: og:image +
twitter card meta on the site, SKILL login-cell waitlist parity.

Zero repo-fixable blockers/majors; all four round-4 surfaces verified
fixed. The two optional minors applied: the README command-table login
cell and SKILL's init cell now carry the waitlist-only caveat inline.

Reviewer round 4 (9/6/9/9/7/9) caught that round 3 only fixed the
Quick start: the bare-login default survived in the four highest-
traffic surfaces. All inverted to self-host-first:
- README HERO code block (+ the other-machine one-liner and the
every-other-device shorthand): bdrive login https://your-hub, with
Cloud as a clearly-labeled waitlist callout
- plugin/commands/install.md + init.md step 2: ask for the team's hub
URL; bare 'bdrive login' explicitly flagged as targeting the
not-yet-open Cloud
- SKILL.md walkthrough step 1 + the hub-example comment
- website hero terminal animation: 'syncing → your team's hub', share
URL on a neutral acme-hub.example host (og:url and the coming-soon
card untouched — those are honest)
- README's login reference sentence now says the beardrive.ai default
is waitlist-only

Reviewer round 3 (9/7/9/8/7/9) caught the sharpest truth bug yet: the
README quickstart's bare 'bdrive login' defaults to beardrive.ai, which
is waitlist-only and not accepting logins — a launch-day visitor's
first command would fail silently. Fixes:
- quickstart step 1 now routes to self-hosting ('bdrive login
https://your-hub', ~10-minute guide linked) with Cloud honestly
framed as waitlist; website closer promises 'Self-host in one
binary' instead of 'under a minute, done'
- handoff gains a P0 gate: verify the FULL first run (login → init →
edit → log) against a working hub before any launch; bare 'bdrive
login' must not be advertised until Cloud accepts logins
- handoff: seed 3-5 good-first-issues (CONTRIBUTING promises them);
replace the mailto waitlist with a real form before Product Hunt
- README trimmed 583→524 lines: the Authentication and Choosing-a-
database operator reference moved verbatim into docs/self-hosting.md
with a compact pointer left behind

Reviewer round 2 scored 8/7/9/8/8/8 with one repo-fixable major left:
three deeper website spots (storage strip, architecture card, bring-
your-own-storage card) still implied a hub-less direct-to-bucket mode
that v0.3.0 removed — all rewritten to the hub-on-your-storage reality;
themes-preview.html's five retracted 'no server required' strings fixed.
Also: install-path verification added to the handoff P0 and the launch
prep checklist (a 404 brew tap on launch day is fatal); README
credentials table now says the s3/gs/file rows are hub-operator storage,
never client remotes; the agent promise now leads on both README and
website (people-sharing supports it); share.png re-captured against a
real rendered runbook (headings/table/code) instead of a one-line stub.

GTM reviewer round 1 (baseline: positioning 6, funnel 4, open-paid 8,
community 3, launch 3, metrics 2; 3 blockers + 3 majors, all repo-fixable):
- TRUTH: removed the false 'no server required' claim (x3 on the
website) and stale 'S3/GCS directly' sync claims in both plugin
manifests — hub-only since v0.3.0
- POSITIONING: one line everywhere ('the open-source Google Drive for
AI agents' + the attribution/read-analytics wedge) across README,
website, marketplace.json, plugin.json, SKILL.md; third 'Why' card
and AGPL-why rationale; nav CTA → Star on GitHub
- COMMUNITY: CONTRIBUTING.md, issue forms + PR template, public dated
ROADMAP.md, CHANGELOG.md seeded from all 8 releases
- DEMO ASSETS: real product screenshots captured from the seeded demo
hub (Insights treemap, browse-with-heat, public share page) embedded
in README + website — no fabricated content anywhere
- DOCS: self-hosting quickstart, metrics plan (north star: active
shared brains), launch-plan drafts (Show HN/PH/launch week), and
docs/gtm-handoff.md — the prioritized external-action checklist

Rounds 4 and 5 both scored every category >=8 with zero high-severity
findings — the exit bar (two consecutive passing designer rounds) is
met. Post-exit cleanup: restore id=search-btn dropped in the React port
so the existing mobile rule hiding the ⌘K badge matches again. Two
remaining observations recorded as won't-fix in the spec with reasons.

Designer round 4: all categories >=8, zero high or medium findings, all
seven round-3 fixes confirmed with measurements. Residual lows fixed for
the confirmation round: insights lens chips, guide tabs, and modal text
inputs to 44px on mobile; at <=430px the share dialog's destructive
Revoke takes its own row instead of sitting 9px from Done.
All responsive CSS on the same URLs — no mobile-specific routes.
42 e2e specs green.

Designer round 3 FAILED the bar (6/6/7/9/6, one high) — it caught a
regression my round-2 fix introduced: .ai-main { overflow-wrap:anywhere }
let flex min-content collapse invite/share URL rows to one character per
line at 360/390 (496px-tall rows). Streak reset. Fixes:
- H1: on mobile the admin row's name/URL takes the full row
(flex-basis 100%; controls drop below) and break-word replaces
anywhere, so URLs wrap readably at natural break points
- M1: onboarding inputs collapsed to 18px (.ob-row goes column on
mobile, so flex:1 became flex-basis:0) — now flex:none, 44px
- L1: overflow-menu items 44px; L2: server auth pages get 44px
inputs/buttons at <=900px; L4: .markdown gets width:100% so short
docs stop shrink-to-content floating; L5: .hmeta centers so the
size stays attached when the author line wraps
go build/vet/test green; 42 e2e specs green.

Designer round 2: layout 9 / readability 8 / tap-targets 8 /
navigation 9 / polish 8, zero high or medium findings; every round-1
fix confirmed with measurements (no page-level horizontal scroll on any
of the 24 surface x viewport combinations; desktop 1360 unaffected by
the 900px breakpoint).
Remaining low cosmetics fixed for the confirmation round:
- .hsize never wraps ('67 B' split across lines at 360)
- guide Copy button is a real 44px touch target (code blocks get the
height to hold it), admin selects/buttons 40 -> 44px
- truncated emails/URLs wrap on touch instead of dead-end ellipsis
- history timestamps 12px (11px was borderline on small phones)
42 e2e specs green.

Designer round 1 scored layout 5 / readability 7 / tap-targets 6 /
navigation 8 / polish 7, one high finding:
- HIGH: tablet 768 and phone-landscape 844 fell between breakpoints —
full desktop topbar + fixed 264px sidebar overflowed the page
(scrollWidth 849 vs 768). The mobile media query now covers
max-width 900px, giving those widths the off-canvas sidebar and
collapsed topbar.
- MED: admin-row selects (28px) and .ai-btn/.ai-del (27px) bumped to
40px targets on mobile, rows wrap; modal buttons to 44px; share
dialog's destructive Revoke pushed away from Done; Escape now
dismisses the share dialog.
- MED: <=430px drops the verbose .dl-meta so filenames stop truncating.
- LOW: gd-copy gets an opaque backing over scrolling code; compact
nowrap history timestamps; invite/pbtn/palette rows to 44px.
42 e2e specs green.

- #root { display: contents } so body's flex layout sees through the
React mount point (main pane was stuck at content width)
- README: Web frontend development section; CLAUDE.md: commands +
webapp description rewritten for the React/Vite reality (committed
dist, check-dist pre-release step, the no-router-library and
no-post-commit-DOM-patching lessons)
- verified: clean git-archive checkout builds with no Node and serves
the React app; visual parity pass across desktop + mobile surfaces;
42 e2e specs green; plugin docs untouched (no frontend internals)

- org admin: rename, member roles/removal (self marked), project
rename/delete, invite links (create/copy/revoke, uses + expiry),
org-wide public-share audit with revoke; members get a read-only view
- hub settings: verification/approval policy toggles (verification
disabled without SMTP), read-only domains/self-signup/admins, pending
signup queue with approve/deny (count feeds the admin bar)
- panels replace the content pane without becoming routes (classic-app
parity): Browser takes a panel prop, HubApp owns the state and any
navigation closes it
- e2e: 8 admin specs, all mutations self-reverting (42 total green)

- project home at /<pid>: connect-an-agent guide (Claude plugin flow,
Hermes/Codex CLI tabs, persisted choice, copy buttons, real hub origin
+ project id), with Insights embedded below for admins/org-owners
- Insights: squarified treemap, reads×freshness scatter with danger
quadrant, hot-path list, agent coverage matrix — classic math ported
verbatim into JSX SVG; dedicated /insights route
- history views: whole-project / subtree / per-file feeds with kind tags,
device attribution, expandable linkified session notes
- REPLACED react-router-dom with src/nav.ts (~40-line synchronous history
router): v7 wraps navigation in startTransition, which left the old
view on screen for seconds after the URL changed (flaky navigations,
35KB heavier bundle). Routing semantics are unchanged.
- e2e: 12 new specs porting the original 17 parity checks (34 total,
~13s, stable across repeated runs)

- FileTree with fold state, lone-root auto-open, reveal-on-deep-link;
folder listings with heat dots and the journals-backed change feed
- FileView: markdown (HTML transformed BEFORE render, link clicks
delegated — React re-applies dangerouslySetInnerHTML markup on
unrelated updates, so post-commit DOM patching loses handlers),
images, text, download card
- breadcrumbs, per-route scroll restoration (location.key memo)
- topbar actions: share dialog (mint/copy/open/revoke), history/upload/
download buttons, ⋯ overflow menu; upload via upload/init direct or
relay path, then tree refresh + open
- ⌘K command palette: fuzzy files/projects/actions with stemming
- e2e: 11 new browse specs (22 total green in ~12s); helpers cache one
session cookie per identity to stay under the 10/min auth rate limit

- URL as source of truth: parseRoute/urlForPath/urlForView ported verbatim
(src/router.ts), single catch-all route so encoded slashes survive
- hub shell: project nav with color chips, org bar, admin bar with pending
count, sign-out per session flags; volume shell renders too
- empty-state onboarding (invite paste + create project), /join/<token>
invite accept that survives the login redirect
- toast + modal prompt/confirm primitives (imperative promise API over a
React host, matching the classic behavior)
- e2e: 7 new hub specs (11 total green); harness gains a no-org 'solo'
account to reach the empty state

- Vite+React+TypeScript workspace at internal/webapp/frontend; vite build
emits committed assets into internal/webapp/static (the go:embed target),
so plain 'go build' still needs no Node
- style.css and the SVG sprite ported verbatim; boot layer (api/config,
401->login redirect) ported so the auth flow works end to end
- frontend(): content-hashed assets/* now served immutable; index.html
stays no-cache (TestFrontendSPAFallback covers both)
- committed e2e harness (BDRIVE_E2E_SERVE=1, deterministic seeded hub on
:8993) wired as Playwright webServer; 4 shell specs green
- check-dist.sh guards against stale committed build output

Insights (admin/org-owner) becomes a stacked dashboard driven by one heat
fetch plus the tree, with the all/human/agent lens applied throughout: a
dependency-free squarified treemap of every file (cell size = reads in the
window, color = staleness, ⚠ on hot+stale, one delegated click handler —
readable at 500+ files, group labels open folders, cells open files); the
reads×freshness scatter demoted to drill-down with density handling
(translucent dots, radius = agent share); and a hot-path top-20 list with
stacked agent/human bars replacing the plain danger list. The agent
coverage matrix section renders when the server provides the by=device
breakdown. Design addendum recorded in docs/design/read-heatmap.md;
calendar/streamgraph explicitly deferred.

Admin/org-owner Insights view (⋯ menu): dependency-free SVG scatter of
every file by 30-day reads × days since last change, log scales, with the
hot-but-stale danger quadrant shaded and a ranked fix-these-first list;
lens toggle for all/human/agent reads. The Claude Code plugin gains a
PostToolUse(Read) hook so plugin users feed agent-read telemetry without
project-level hook registration. Docs synced: README, SKILL.md,
plugin install/init commands, CLAUDE.md, design doc marked implemented.

Read telemetry per docs/design/read-heatmap.md: a ReadLedger over a new
batch-oriented MetaStore ReadRepo (file reads.json + SQL read_stats)
aggregates viewer and share reads into daily per-actor buckets, debounced
to visits, folded into all-time rows past retention. GET /api/p/<id>/heat
serves per-path counts (human/agent/share, distinct readers, last read) —
never identities. /store sync traffic and history blob views are not reads.
The viewer shows heat dots and read counts on folder listings and the file
meta line.
