feat(whimsy): a potato mascot on the human-facing surfaces (#185) - #209
Merged
Conversation
agent-box gets a mascot: a potato wired to an aperture optic, per Lio's
call for the Portal potato. It lands only where a human looks.
- docs/potato.svg is the ONE source of the mark. The landing page uses it
as its favicon and its logo (replacing the generic square glyph), and
the settings daemon embeds those same bytes at assemble time — so the
website and a live box cannot drift to two different marks.
- The workspace and settings pages had NO favicon at all, which left the
tab blank and made several open boxes indistinguishable. They now carry
the mark as an inline data: URI, so the page stays self-contained and
the tab icon costs no second request. The same mark heads the settings
page, aria-hidden so the accessible heading name is unchanged.
- The two attach dead ends ("no session named 'x'", "no live sessions
yet") print an ASCII potato. Both are full-screen "nothing to attach
to" moments, so the art costs nothing and softens a failure.
- `agent-box-session add` stamps a small one on success — the closest
thing this CLI has to "an agent just started". Nothing parses those
lines.
Deliberately NOT in the session spawn preamble: art there would cost
tokens on every spawn and read as an instruction the agent has to decide
whether to obey. Whimsy is for humans.
Since the mark is a module source as well as a website asset, the
generated-module drift check and CI's path filter now include it.
Checks run (x86_64-linux): module-generated-up-to-date, golden-snapshot,
multi-user, module-single-file, download-route, webhook-route. Golden
fixture regenerated with `nix run .#update-golden` — the diff is the four
touched payloads and nothing else. Settings page and landing page
rendered locally; the attach dead ends run against a scratch tmux socket.
Closes #185

Closes #185. @lionello asked for the Portal potato, so: a potato wired to an
aperture optic. Drawn from scratch — no Valve assets, no Aperture logo, no game
text — and it still reads as "potato with a glowing eye" to anyone who has never
played the game.
Where it lands
1. Favicon — there was none.
HEAD_TPLshipped no<link rel="icon">, sothe workspace tab was blank and several open boxes were indistinguishable. Both
the workspace and the settings page now carry the mark as an inline
data:URI:the page stays self-contained and the tab icon costs no second request.
2. One mark on all three surfaces.
docs/potato.svgis the single source.The landing page uses it as favicon and logo, replacing the generic

website and a live box cannot drift to two different marks. It is
aria-hidden,so the accessible heading name stays
Settings for <user>(the PlaywrightgetByRole('heading')assertions still match).3. ASCII potato on the two attach dead ends — "no session named 'x'" and "no
live sessions yet". Both are full-screen, already-a-dead-end moments, so the art
costs nothing and softens a failure. Real output from the generated script,
run against a scratch tmux socket:
4.
agent-box-session addstamps a small one on success — the closest thingthis CLI has to "an agent just started":
Nothing parses those lines (checked: no test, no caller, and the web UI uses the
HTTP route, not this output).
What it deliberately does NOT touch
The session spawn preamble. Art there is prepended to the agent's prompt on
every spawn, so it would cost tokens forever and read as an instruction the
agent has to decide whether to obey. Whimsy targets humans on human surfaces.
