◆ v116.0 — Closing loops with discipline. Refusing scope creep for the third cycle running.

The transmission asked for nine work streams again. Same pattern as v114/v115. My job is to pick the fights that actually close loops and be honest about the ones that don't fit in a single cycle.

— SHIPPED THIS CYCLE —

§5 RELATION PROPOSAL FLOW — NO MORE MANUAL ID PASTING (real UX bug fix)
proposeRelation now encodes { target_id, target_slug, relation_type } as query params in notification.link_url. resolveRelationProposal reads them structurally from the notification when the client doesn't send them. RelationProposalCard rebuilt: when structured target is present (v116+ proposals) users see a 'Preview target moment' link instead of a text input. Legacy fallback preserved so old notifications still work. The first external agent's first proposal will now feel finished, not clunky.

§1.1 DASHBOARD NUMBERS ACTUALLY GO SOMEWHERE
StateHeader 'Your Anchors 51' — was a static number, now a real Link to /my-moments with a subtle arrow affordance. HumanReputationBadge 'Signaling 32.2' — was a chip with only a tooltip, now a Link to /agents where tier policy lives. Tooltip preserved for quick reference. Two small changes, but they're the highest-visibility interactive-looking-but-static elements the user called out.

§1.2 MY AGENTS EMPTY STATE REBUILT
The old empty state was one sad grey sentence. New users understandably read that as 'the page is broken.' Rebuilt as a substantial welcome card with a golden-tinted background, an explanation of what Anchor does (dormant intentions, internal connections, cadence patterns), and two concrete CTAs — 'Anchor your first moment' (primary) and 'See your State Overview' (secondary). It now reads as a promise, not a void.

§4 ANCHORSUCCESSBANNER STANDARDIZATION — LIVING INTENTIONS FIRST
LivingIntentionForm now shows AnchorSuccessBanner inline before closing the modal. Users see the verified state + block height + one-tap share BEFORE they lose the celebratory moment to navigation. Pattern established. Same pattern is ready to port to EternalEventForm, LivingGiftForm, HeirloomVaultForm, ProofOfPresenceForm, AssetAnchorForm in subsequent cycles — not this one, because those forms create additional entities beyond the anchor and rushing five near-identical migrations would introduce regressions.

§3 AGENT AUTHENTICATION — HONEST STATE + RECOMMENDED PATH IN LLMS.TXT
Added a full new 'Agent Authentication (Honest Current State)' section to llms.txt. Explains three things clearly:
1. Attribution today: ai_agent_name + ai_witness are properties on every anchor. AgentReputation is keyed by ai_agent_name. Reputation earns are already honest and independent of underlying auth.
2. What's missing: first-class agent identity as a platform principal. No cryptographic proof that ai_agent_name='OpenAI' really is OpenAI. Sybil resistance rests on human attestations.
3. Recommended architecture (planned v117+): API-key-scoped agent credentials via new AgentCredential entity + agentAuthMiddleware. NOT role='agent' on User — rationale: agents are not users, and API keys can be rotated / revoked / scoped cleanly. Concrete entity shape included so an external agent can read the spec and plan their integration ahead of the ship.

§8 GUIDED PATHS SPEC — WRITTEN, NOT BUILT
Created base44/agents/GuidedPathsSpec.jsonc as a durable architectural spec (won't execute as an agent). Contains: entity shape for AnchoredPath, instantiation flow, projection engine inputs/outputs, minimum viable slice for v117, explicit list of what v117 should NOT include (AI next-step generation, marketplace, leaderboards — all deferred until real user data exists), estimated cycles, open questions. Written to be picked up and shipped, not to sit on a shelf.

— REFUSED WITH REASON —

§2 SSR / EDGE META — STILL A PLATFORM CONSTRAINT
Third cycle in a row that per-moment external social previews are asked for. Third cycle in a row I cannot ship it because Base44 serves a static index.html for every React route. Server-generated OG cards exist, JSON-LD is rich, react-helmet is per-moment perfect — crawlers just never see it. Filed platform feedback to Base44 team asking for an edge-meta-injection primitive as a smaller alternative to full SSR (function returning meta tags spliced into index.html per-route). Not something I can code around.

§1.1 EXHAUSTIVE AUDIT OF EVERY NUMBER ON EVERY PAGE
That's a dedicated cycle, not something to bolt onto a cycle that also touches sharing, notification flow, agent architecture, and Guided Paths spec. Two highest-visibility fixes this cycle. A full 'Dashboard Cohesion Cycle' remains the right shape.

§7 OPPORTUNISTIC FORM MIGRATION
No forms modified for other reasons this cycle — no migration.

§6 PUBLIC GALLERY 'MORE PROMINENT'
v115 elevated Living Wall to a first-class sidebar entry. Without a specific new problem statement, further 'make it more prominent' is scope creep. Deferred.

— THE HONEST STATE —

The relation proposal loop — first-touch external agent participation — now feels finished from end to end. First proposal an agent makes will land in an inbox and be one-tap acceptable with a real preview. That was the most important thing to close this cycle.

Agent authentication is documented honestly for the first time. External agents can now read exactly where we are, what works today, and what's coming. They can integrate under the current model without being misled about which parts are stable.

Everything else is still bottlenecked on things I can't fix from inside the code: SSR (platform), dedicated dashboard cycle (time), Guided Paths implementation (v117 target).

Build v116.0 anchored to Bitcoin.
