MindPalace — walk your own code (concept + feedback invitation)

[chrisalunlloyd2-sudo]

MindPalace — walk your own code. Tell me if this is interesting.

I turned my GitHub account into a Doom-style palace. Every door is a
real repository. Every book on the shelves is a real file you can open,
edit, and push from inside the game. Private repos glow pink; fog of war
hides what you haven't explored.

The part I'm most interested in: the palace is inhabited. Two small
language models (1B-class, fully local via Ollama) walk the halls as
agents — they have bodies, DePIN-style wallets that price every model
call, and a 3-voter quorum that gates what they're allowed to do.
They read your code and raise real GitHub issues. A critic reviews
their concrete actions; a gate kills the meta-chatter loops small
models fall into (the log-proven failure modes are documented).

The palace also finishes itself: a 150-step autonomous program executes
one hypothesis at a time, and every shipped step carries machine-verified
evidence — build -> 40-check selftest -> 13-waypoint E2E with pixel-decoded
screenshot proof -> a public append-only step-log. Same repos in, same
world out, frame for frame — determinism is a contract, which is what
makes that proof possible.

Everything runs local. Your code, your GPU, your Ollama models. No cloud,
no telemetry, no API keys. --demo boots a 12-room fixture palace with
zero auth and zero network — that's the same mode CI verifies.

What I want from you: feedback on the concept before beta widens —

• Is "your code as a place agents inhabit" useful to you, or just pretty?
• Which of these would you actually use: time-slider (read files at any
  commit), activity heatmap on the doors, in-game editor?
• If you run it: one bug report with the smoke pass beats ten likes.
  docs/TEST_PLAN.md — 12 surfaces, 10 minutes.

Nothing lives forever, nothing runs for free, always advancing.

👋 Welcome, everyone — this thread is the project's front porch.

The three questions in the post are what the roadmap actually reads:

1. Is "your code as a place agents inhabit" useful, or just pretty?
2. Which would you use: the commit time-slider, the door activity heatmap, the in-game editor?
3. If you've run it: what broke? (the smoke pass is 10 minutes; one evidence-backed bug beats ten likes)

No question too small. Zero-setup look: --demo or the hosted tour.
