Timeline
- (Context) Continued work on the local token reality console after stabilizing Gemma3 runtime counting and model dossier features.
- (Action) Implemented browser persistence for prompt text, profile selection, count mode, and all token planning input fields.
- (Action) Wired state restore on initialization and debounced save behavior on input changes.
- (Action) Updated project documentation to reflect persistence behavior.
- (Observation) Validation checks passed for frontend and backend syntax, and local server availability remained healthy.
- (Open Thread) Next implementation target is the command flag training GUI (“Intentional Flagulator”) with discovery, builder flow, and memory.
Context
- The session focused on reducing UX friction in the tokenizer by preserving user-entered work across refreshes and restarts.
- No prior compiled dev-diary entry for this date was found in the current working directory.
- Topic taxonomy was inferred from current repo scope because no explicit local dev-diary schema files were present.
Actions
- Implemented persistent local storage for prompt text and token-planning inputs in the tokenizer GUI.
- Added storage read/write helpers, debounced persistence, and restore-on-load behavior in the frontend app logic.
- Hooked persistence into profile/count-mode/input change handlers so state remains current during normal editing.
- Added documentation note confirming persistence behavior in the project README.
- Re-ran local validation commands and a quick HTTP serve check to confirm no runtime regressions.
Observations
- Persistence removes a high-friction failure mode where long prompt drafting work could be lost on reload.
- The current implementation is local-browser scoped, which is appropriate for this local-first tooling context.
- Save debouncing keeps UI responsiveness stable while preventing unnecessary storage churn.
- The repository currently has no embedded dev-diary taxonomy source files, so concise lowercase-friendly topic style was used.
Open Threads
- Add explicit controls for persistence management (for example reset/clear saved session state).
- Decide whether to support named saved sessions in addition to one auto-restored working state.
- Begin the first MVP pass of the command flagulator: script ingestion, help-flag parsing, and stepwise command assembly UI.
Boundary Reminder:
Seeds. No maintenance. No roadmap.
