Hallucinated Web Cache

Two-process setup:

• src/generator.js: pre-generates standalone HTML documents (inline CSS + inline JS, no backend dependencies inside the page) and stores them in cache/pages/*.json.
• src/server.js: serves a random cached HTML page on / instantly.

Each browser refresh hits a random pre-generated hallucinated webpage.

Setup

npm install
cp .env.example .env

Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY in .env.

Run in two terminals

Terminal 1 (generator daemon):

npm run generate:daemon

Terminal 2 (server):

npm run serve

Open http://localhost:3000 and refresh repeatedly.

Commands

One-time generation batch:

npm run generate -- --count 20 --concurrency 2 --chaos 0.95

Strict real-OpenRouter run (no local fallback allowed):

npm run generate -- --count 20 --concurrency 2 --chaos 0.95 --strict-openrouter

Daemon with custom cache tuning:

npm run generate:daemon -- --target-size 200 --batch-size 8 --concurrency 3 --interval-ms 4000 --chaos 0.95

Entropy controls

• --chaos 0..1 (or CHAOS_LEVEL env var) controls prompt mutation intensity and sampling aggression.
• Generator injects entropy capsules (nonce/hash/time jitter/style laws/artifacts/taboo words) to push outputs into new creative regions.
• --strict-openrouter (or OPENROUTER_STRICT=1) disables fallback and exits on any OpenRouter failure.

Notes

• Generated pages are self-contained HTML/CSS/JS and should not call network APIs.
• If OpenRouter fails or key/model is invalid, generator falls back to locally generated self-contained hallucination pages unless strict mode is enabled.
• Debug endpoint: GET /api/stats
• Fetch a specific cached page by id: GET /page/:id
