The 'Open in Obsidian' button was silently doing nothing. Turns out `open -a Obsidian /some/folder` is a no-op unless that folder *is* a vault — so we taught the app to walk up to the nearest `.obsidian/` and route through `obsidian://` URIs instead. While we were in there, the deal-workspace header that hosted that button got a long-overdue redesign.
Michael StatonSix steam-punk character portraits — Financial-Analyst, Researcher, Writer, Editor, Fact-Checker, Scorecard-Generator — now sit above the JobView's 3-column grid during a memo run. The character whose stage is active glows with a slow breathing border; the rest stay visible but quiet. A live caption under the active character names the work in progress, swapping as the underlying milestones advance. The cast is authored in a single human-editable markdown file (`src/lib/characters.md`) — frontmatter holds names, stage mappings, default captions, and forward-compat agent-precise captions for v2. Mike retunes the wording without touching code.
Michael StatonFirst post-memo onboarding step. Click 'Make this look like your firm →' in the JobView's success banner (or 'Brand setup →' in Settings), paste the firm's website URL, watch Claude tool-use its way through the homepage and a couple of linked pages, then review every field on a confirmation form before anything saves to disk. ~15s wall time, ~$0.05–0.15 per fetch via Haiku 4.5. Brand managers stay happy because every Claude guess — colors, fonts, logos, taglines — is editable with live swatches and logo previews before save. Output merges into io/{firm}/configs/brand-{firm}-config.yaml, deep-merging with the firm-creation scaffold so company.conventional_name is never clobbered.
Michael StatonStood up apps/memopop-native — a Tauri 2 desktop shell wrapping the investment-memo-orchestrator's CLIs — inside the existing memopop-ai Bun workspace. Verified prerequisites (Xcode CLI, Rust, Bun), updated Rust to current stable, scaffolded via bun create tauri-app with TypeScript + Svelte, brought the frontend stack to current within two safe waves (minor + coupled-major), added the four Tauri 2 plugins we'll need (shell, dialog, store, fs). Window opens, IPC works, baseline is clean.
Michael StatonFirst real feature in memopop-native: a Settings screen that picks the orchestrator repo path and the active firm, persisted across launches. Beneath the small UI, this lands the architectural seam — a Transport interface, a LocalTransport implementation backed by a single Rust api_dispatch command, and the first route (GET /firms) wired end-to-end. Every future action and query rides on this same rail; the eventual swap to a hosted Python server is now ~1 day of frontend work, not a rewrite.
Michael StatonBuilt out the full onboarding user journey end-to-end against the Onboarding spec. Home view stops being Settings — it's now an outline gallery (or, on first launch, a single Browse-for-orchestrator panel). New users see comprehensive sample outlines first (the value), and only get charged onboarding taxes when they click 'Try this on a company →'. Firm creation is a small modal that snake_cases the input, scaffolds io/{slug}/configs/brand-{slug}-config.yaml with company.conventional_name only, and idempotently appends /io/*/ to the orchestrator's .gitignore. Deal capture (URL, optional name, deck, mode) collects inputs and confirms — the actual memo-generation runner is the next spec. New backend routes: GET /outlines, GET /outlines/{id}, POST /actions/create-firm. Auto mode session, no testing run yet.
