Phase-1 design mockup for MUSE-VOICE-PRIMITIVE. The voice renders the same five negotiation events in two registers: ACTIVE (Workshop — Muse is a full chat pane, surfaces arrive inline in the conversation) and AMBIENT (Venue — Muse is a quiet presence in a busy back-office: a corner orb, badges, small toasts that expand to the same cards on click). One event model, two volumes. Copy shown at Zen depth throughout — it says "your team", never "agents"; every surface is honest about what the faculties actually know. Stubs say so; nothing fabricates advice.
The user is already talking to Muse. Negotiation surfaces arrive inline — in the stream and around the input — at conversational size. Nothing modal; everything answerable in place.
In 3 of 4 similar calls you followed your team's recommendation. The room leans A here: keep the pipe with your library and let the voice stay a voice. Nothing about this call looks unusual against your history.
3 similar past calls — the recommendation was followed 2 times.
A full-width strip near the input — collapsible, paragraph height, never a one-line chip (house ruling). The why expander (shown open) reveals the precedent math, cited precedents, matched rules, and mandate lines. Never interrupts typing.
Your library keeps the books and runs the loading dock for shipments to and from GitHub; your companion just asks the library to fetch or send — the voice never becomes the pipe.
Tradeoff — ownership vs. speed. A keeps plumbing with the data owner; B ships fastest but turns the voice into infrastructure; C is cleanest on paper but adds a whole service to feed.
Hands the call to the room's recommendation and records that you stood back.
Options are soft one-tap votes; the single recommended option carries the ✓ prefix and a quiet emerald halo — never louder than that. Board cards render this permanently Zen; the depth toggle appears only in cockpit surfaces like this chat pane.
A queued decision rendered in the stream: proposal, gentle ELI5, the tradeoff in one line, then soft full-width vote buttons with FOR/AGAINST micro-columns (max 3 reasons a side), plus the standing-back choice at the end.
Memory shipped 0.6.152 and asks you to confirm or correct — one word from you settles it.
Whole-box amber-tinted border, never an edge bar (board-layout-correction, 2026-07-11). The entire card is the click target — zero buttons, chips, or ids inside board-level cards. Clicking steps into MEMORY-MUSE-VIEWERS with full context.
Two of your team claimed the same file.
LEASE-MUSE-7f3a memory://david/projects/muse/src/server/chat-handler.tsFast and ephemeral — the rule already resolved it; the toast is a courtesy with a live TTL. Override hands the lease to the waiting teammate; doing nothing lets it fade.
The cabinet met on whether the voice may expose GitHub fetch-and-send as a tool surface. Three seats spoke, one held back, and nothing fences this bundle. The room leans yes — provided the library keeps the dock.
One calm paragraph, then each seat's stance + line in the user's own terms. Seats that haven't learned enough say so — honest stubs, never fabricated advice.
The user is working — bookings, refunds, rotas. Muse lives as a corner orb with a badge; events land as small corner toasts. Clicking a toast or the orb expands the same card the active register shows, at reduced size. Board-level cards here stay permanently Zen.

The orb badge counts everything pending (decisions + needs-your-word + cabinet results). Toasts stack in the corner, newest on top, and never cover the work area's active row.

No chat input exists here, so counsel rides the orb: a quiet one-line invitation that opens the full paragraph-height strip. The strip itself never shrinks to a chip.

Same one-tap votes; the toast collapses back to the orb after your word is recorded.

The amber tone is reserved: only needs-your-word items color the badge amber; everything else stays Muse gold. Clicking anywhere steps into MEMORY-MUSE-VIEWERS.

LEASE-MUSE-7f3a · memory://david/projects/muse/src/server/chat-handler.tsAmbient default is the one-liner only; it never demands attention because the rule already acted. Expansion is for the curious or the overriding.
Three seats spoke, one held back, and nothing fences this bundle. The room leans yes — provided the library keeps the dock.
In ambient, a fenced bundle is the one event allowed to badge the orb red and hold the toast open — a fence is never quiet.
