Existence: persistent awareness display

Project(s) touched: existence (paragarden)

Status: Open — paused arc; a written plan awaiting sign-off that never came

Surfaced in: session 30788afc (existence, ~2026-04-10). Final assistant message: "The plan at /home/me/.claude/plans/fluffy-rolling-meadow.md is comprehensive... Let me present it for your sign-off." No sign-off was given.

The arc

A plan titled "Persistent Awareness Display" was written for existence: make the fidelity system (time and money awareness) persistent, peripheral, and interactive — always on screen, with two independent axes of degradation. The plan was presented for sign-off and then neither approved nor discarded.

Why this is a registry thread (and not an existence TODO)

This is the registry's intended case: a single-repo arc someone walked away from mid-flight. As of 2026-06-05:

• The plan file ~/.claude/plans/fluffy-rolling-meadow.md is untouched since 2026-04-10.
• It is not tracked in existence/TODO.md, so it has no owner driving it.
• existence itself is active (recent commits like reactivityFactor()), but this specific display plan is parked.

Next action

Approve the plan (file it into existence's work) or discard it. Until then it's a parked arc, not live backlog.

Working answer

None — plan written, sign-off never given.
