Buzz announcement demo

This branch includes a deterministic, relay-free workspace for recording the Buzz announcement film.

Launch

From this worktree, run:

just announcement-staging

The command launches the native Tauri staging app on this worktree's isolated port with announcement mode enabled. The app uses the deterministic mock workspace rather than reading or writing real staging-relay data. Reloading the app restores the same clean demo workspace.

The local demo relay also includes a running agent named Scout. Configure OpenAI or Anthropic in the Agents screen, then @mention Scout in #flight-path, #design, #marketing, or #queen-bee-launch. Scout shows a typing indicator and replies using the selected provider with the recent conversation as context. Direct messages to Scout work too. Agent settings are retained for reloads during the current app session; provider keys are never written into the repository or logged by the local provider bridge.

For a browser-only preview, use just announcement-demo.

Demo workspace

• Workspace: Honeycomb Studios
• People: Alex Rivera (Product Lead) and nine fictional teammates across engineering, design, marketing, research, QA, data, support, video, and community
• Sections: The Hive, Product, and Launch Swarm
• Channels include #announcements, #general, #flight-path, #design, #mobile, #product-ideas, #marketing, and #queen-bee-launch
• Projects: flight-path, nectar, comb-kit, and swarm-launch
• Direct messages: Maya Chen, Jordan Brooks, and Priya Shah

All portraits are generated fictional people. Scout uses the default generated identity until the announcement's final agent avatar is ready.
