Living Reader · Manager Loop

Active loop

ID	Work	State
`W2-CV`	Pages↔Scroll toggle (Codex must-have #1) · default Scroll	#21 verify
`W2-CV+`	Codex best-of ports (ranked) — small PRs only	after #21
`W2C`	TTS Listen (after chrome parity)	queued
`W2-PE`	PE continuity / fact gates (Astra gen)	queued
`W3`	+ New Book + profile import	Wave 3

Convergence → one app (locked)

Trunk: jarvis-pd21/living-reader (GrokBot / Living Reader GB)
Method: combo — read-only Codex harvest + port winners as small PRs; agent debate only for real forks
Layout: user toggle Scroll (default) ↔ Pages — don’t force one aesthetic
Keep GrokBot: Luna/Astra split, scrubber, version history, regen-from-here, reading-time guards, named bookmarks
Audit: progress/CODEX_BEST_OF_BOTH.md
Models: in-app gen gpt-6-astra · Ask gpt-5.6-luna · cloud coding prefers Sol/Opus when on-demand works

UX guardrail (Phil)

No feature-addition creep. Prefer consolidating into existing chrome (menus/sheets) over new always-visible buttons. Minimal, intuitive, Books-familiar. Every port must earn its place in the ~30s bar.
