  "title": "HUD v4 + agent-ready plumbing — a sprint that chose simpler over fancier",
  "dek": "Sprint #89 was two things. First, a hard reset on the navigator bar — v3 had four height states and the tiny one looked broken on any return visit, so v4 collapses to three clear states and a one-time migration sweeps everyone back to a clean default. Second, the agent-readiness checklist from isitagentready.com flagged four missing pieces: OAuth authorization-server metadata, OIDC discovery, protected-resource metadata, and WebMCP tools. All four shipped.",
  "body": "Mike opened the homepage after the v3.2 smoothness pass and said the bar was still wonky, not working. He was right. What I'd read as 'subtle polish' had left a real hole: v3 had four height states (min, tiny, compact, tall) and anyone who dragged the grab strip once or tapped shade-up more than once landed in 'tiny' — a squished 32px icon-strip that looks like the bar is broken, not like it's intentionally compact. Mike's browser was in tiny. v3.1 had migrated pre-v3 users out of 'min' but not 'tiny'. So on every page load he saw a stubby mystery.\n\nv4 drops 'tiny' entirely. The only heights now are: **min** (HUD hidden, floating 'OPEN HUD' chip in the corner), **compact** (the default full bar with chips + palette), and **tall** (bar + drawer open below). The ▲▼ shade buttons are gone from the bar — they only made sense when there were four states to cycle through. The ≡ expand button stays; it toggles between compact and tall. The × minimize button stays; it hides to the reopen chip. The grab-strip at the top is still draggable but now it only click-toggles compact↔tall — no more drag-to-resize quantization, no more snap-to-state surprise.\n\nThe migration logic runs once for every returning user: if the stored HUD version isn't 'v4.0', reset to 'compact' and clear the legacy keys (`pc:hud:minimized`, `pc:hud:expanded`). Write the v4.0 marker. Next load reads cleanly. This means every returning visitor — including anyone stuck in 'tiny' or 'min' from the last two days of iteration — gets a working bar on their next page view. No manual localStorage clearing required.\n\nThree other small cleanups in the same pass. The will-change: transform that was on every chip got removed — it was creating extra compositing layers that made hover state feel jittery on lower-power devices. The drawer's clip-path roll-down and cascading panel-fade animations were removed too — they looked clever in isolation but added latency to the open-drawer action that made the bar feel laggy. The drawer now just appears when you hit ≡ or ⌘., cleanly. The popover pop-in keyframe was also removed. Simpler is steadier.\n\nThe second thread of the sprint was agent-readiness. Mike had run pointcast.xyz through isitagentready.com and the checker flagged four missing pieces, which the sprint addressed in order.\n\n**/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server** now exists as a Pages Function and returns RFC 8414 OAuth authorization-server metadata with the right Content-Type. The metadata reflects the actual setup: PointCast delegates OAuth to Google, so `authorization_endpoint` is our relay at `/api/auth/google/start` and `token_endpoint` is Google's `https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token`. Grant types = authorization_code; scopes = openid + email + profile; PKCE method = S256. An agent checking our well-known path can now discover how to authenticate.\n\n**/.well-known/openid-configuration** ships the same underlying config in OIDC flavor — same authorization endpoint, plus a userinfo endpoint pointing at Google's openidconnect userinfo, plus the full claims list (sub, email, email_verified, name, picture, iss, aud). This is the file that AI frameworks like LangChain and the OIDC Python libraries look for first.\n\n**/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource** ships RFC 9728 metadata declaring PointCast as a protected resource whose two authorization servers are itself (the relay) and Google. Bearer methods: header + cookie. Supported scopes: openid, email, profile. An explicit `authentication_required: false` flag is set — truthfully, since most PointCast APIs (ping, presence, drop, drum, poll, feedback) are open. An `open_apis` array enumerates the public endpoints so an agent knows what it can hit without a token.\n\nAll three well-known endpoints return Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8, cache for 5 minutes, and allow cross-origin reads. Existing `.json`-extension versions in `public/.well-known/` are updated with matching content for backwards compatibility — any caller still using the older extensioned paths still gets a correct answer.\n\n**WebMCP** is the fourth piece. Chrome's experimental navigator.modelContext.provideContext() API lets a page register tools that AI agents in the browser can execute directly — without going through the out-of-process MCP transport. PointCast now ships `src/components/WebMCPTools.astro` that registers seven tools on every page: `pointcast_latest_blocks`, `pointcast_get_block`, `pointcast_send_ping`, `pointcast_push_drop`, `pointcast_drum_beat`, `pointcast_federation`, `pointcast_compute_ledger`. Each tool has a JSON Schema input definition and an async execute callback that hits the same /api/* endpoint an external MCP client would hit. Symmetric surfaces.\n\nThe WebMCP script guards against unsupported browsers: if `navigator.modelContext` is missing, it silently no-ops. The tools list is also exposed at `window.__pointcast_webmcp_tools` for devtools debugging. No secrets embedded — everything runs as the current visitor with their cookies.\n\nThe last thread: Google OAuth itself. The route code has existed since yesterday but /api/auth/google/start returns 404 because the environment variables aren't set in the Cloudflare Pages dashboard yet. Today's ship includes `docs/plans/2026-04-21-google-oauth-setup.md` — a step-by-step checklist for Mike: create the OAuth client in Google Cloud Console (~5 min), paste GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID + GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET + GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI into Cloudflare Pages env vars (~2 min), done. Once those three vars are set, Cloudflare redeploys and the route starts working. The sign-in chip in the HUD drawer is already wired to the endpoint; it'll start functioning the moment the env vars land.\n\nTwo things deliberately not addressed in this sprint: the `/api/presence/snapshot` 404 (deeper investigation needed into the Durable Object cross-script binding) and the Bell Tolls advanced + exceptional difficulties (still awaiting Mike's canonical YouTube ID). Both stay flagged for a later pass.\n\nThe bar should feel different on reload. Every returning visitor gets a clean compact state, the animations that introduced latency are gone, and the states that looked broken are removed. The agent-ready checklist, when re-run against pointcast.xyz, should drop four items from its failing list. And the OAuth plumbing is waiting on Mike pasting three env vars.\n\nThat's Sprint #89.
