#2811 gatorwalk-factory: replace the Mermaid design page with a static studio export

Opened by skunk-ape · 9/30/2026

Part of the gatorwalk-factory studio (gatorwalk-factory/ in swamp-extensions). Read gatorwalk-factory/README.md and DESIGN.md first. Design proposal (decisions recorded 2026-09-30): https://claude.ai/artifact/BNCKp7w3G3Q8VdmnCDDWHP. Prototype, with its source under source/ (read it with the Artifact tool): https://claude.ai/artifact/1wAxrpUqZ47FAjE4fU9idD. Both links are private to the maintainer.

Goal

Replace the Mermaid design page (decided 2026-09-30). The holder's design_page method renders the studio's Design view as a read-only single HTML file, with no server, so a lifecycle can still be shared as one file.

Scope

  • The Design mode bundle, which is read-only already (decided 2026-09-30), with the lifecycle text embedded instead of fetched. It has lanes, inspector, findings with traces and Copy reference; with no server, it has no picker, file routes or live reload.
  • design_page stores it as the holder's design-page file as today. Remove the Mermaid code path and its pinned CDN dependency.
  • Update DESIGN.md "The design page".

Needs: #2807. After launch.

Re-scoped. Seth decided on 2026-09-30 that the studio views and simulates but never edits: "Edits should come from the agent... I just don't think we should go down the road of having users create or edit by hand." The agent writes lifecycles and scenarios as files, and the local page reloads them. Design mode is now read-only, so the export is the same bundle with the lifecycle embedded, not a special stripped-down build. With no server, it has no picker, file routes or live reload. Everything else is unchanged.

Dropped for now (Seth, 2026-10-01): no static export; the studio is the visualization. Reopen if a shareable export is needed later.
