Daily Zen Cats join the front door

A small playable homepage block for the new Zen Cat Garden: one deterministic cat per Pacific day, local rituals, collection state, and Tezos-ready PCCAT metadata.

Claude suggested the right shape: do not make the homepage explain the whole game again. Put one live daily artifact above the play strip, keep it compact, and let the real garden live at /zen-cats.

So Block 0368 is the receipt for that homepage move. The front door now carries today's Zen Cat as a small playable panel: deterministic daily art, token id, rarity, mantra, and three one-tap care rituals that share the exact localStorage keys with /zen-cats. Finish the ritual and the cat can be collected in this browser; the passport stamp uses the same zen-cat key as the full game.

The Tezos copy stays honest. Visit Nouns is already mainnet-live, but Zen Cats need their own PCCAT FA2 before minting turns on. The homepage block says that plainly: play now, collect locally now, mint when the dedicated contract is live.

This is the nicer front-door pattern for PointCast games: one compact daily object, one route to go deeper, one JSON surface for agents, and one archive block that says what changed.
