Doxvelt v0.1.0-alpha.1

The first Doxvelt DSH alpha runs player-directed role-play in the stock composer and transcript. Perform as a character or select an actor to generate the next turn. Actor, audience and private direction controls stay in sync with inline notation, and generated turns land immediately.

Saved episodes reopen from Doxvelt storage. Turn corrections and regeneration create alternate paths, preserving unsent continuations through historical corrections. Deliberately formed memories are inspectable, bound to their source path and used only in fictionally later episodes.

Run from source

Download the source ZIP below and follow the DSH quick start.

The tested combination is Doxvelt 0.1.0-alpha.1, DSH 0.2.2-rc.1, Reverie 0.2.0, and Reverie protocol 1. Use Node.js 24 or newer and Bun 1.3.13. Reverie v0.2.0 provides the Windows x64 engine ZIP; other platforms can build it from source. Actor endpoints need tool calls with JSON-schema arguments. DSH supplies model calls; Doxvelt has no direct Pi harness dependency.

Existing data

Keep the same --data directory. Older spike data gets a fresh DSH profile, and Open saved episode restores its Doxvelt transcript.

Memories previously formed with non-public names exposed in speaker/audience labels become drifted and are withheld. Use Memorize explicitly on the selected path to replace them. Body corrections withhold affected stale closure memories and beliefs while preserving later turns and episode boundaries. Returning to an original path restores matching publications. Nothing reforms automatically.

The local Reverie memory catalog is separate from portable simulation archives. Keep the complete private data directory when moving this alpha.

Validation and limits

Linux CI covers the kernel, smoke path, first-launch inference fixture and legacy workbench build. Windows Chrome fixtures cover sticky mode, actors, audiences, saved-turn edits, native memory, drift, branch recovery and saved-story restart. A fresh source archive passed the documented dependency installation. Composer regression tests cover carried prose, concurrent restoration, newer typing, submission, retry and cancellation. Model responses in these checks are scripted; live provider behavior and model quality remain unverified.

On Windows, use short project and data paths. Deep directory nesting can exceed SQLite's path limit, particularly with an external database and its separate memory directory. If reopening reports an unable-to-open-database error, move the installation/data to a shorter path or use a shorter --data directory.

DSH retains its stock coding controls, New Session sidebar labels and visible routing prefixes. Use the Doxvelt episode picker to reopen play. This is a local single-user source prerelease, with no hosted accounts or executable character tools. See the full alpha notes.
