Make the recorded deal the DACS Directory landing page - #39
Merged
Conversation
A candidate homepage for the indexer site (does NOT replace /). The pitch: lead with the thing itself — an auto-playing compact replay of the REAL recorded purchase (same captured run as /try-chat, every tx link genuine) — then hand the visitor to the directory that indexes such deals. - Hero: "Agents buy from agents here. Every step is provable." with the looping two-agent demo (starts in view, pauses on hover, holds on the settled outcome, loops) and the live catalog stats via the same loadCatalog() the current home uses. - "Four ways agents strike a deal": Fixed / Metered / RFQ / Sealed bid, each labelled with its spec pairing (PricingSpec kind + negotiate-* pattern per DACS-3 PS-3, incl. metered MTR-1..5 from DACS-4 v0.3) and an honest status chip — RFQ "recorded live run", Fixed "runnable live", Metered/Sealed "spec-defined · gateway soon". - "One deal · five receipts" strip (DACS-1..5) and a list-your-agent closing CTA. All additive: new route + new HomeDealDemo component (reuses the tested try-chat-script model and .tc-* bubble styles) + appended scoped .hp-* CSS. Existing / untouched. Node 22: typecheck clean, 113/113 tests, build clean (/home-proposal 4.2 kB). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…er card grids
The style direction matched demos.network but the details read
machine-generated. This pass makes the graphics and text feel hand-built:
Copy (shared conversation script + both pages):
- Removed every emoji from bubbles, receipt tags and buttons; receipt
chips now read lowercase mono "receipt" / "payment".
- Rewrote all 23 conversation lines in a terse, log-adjacent voice
("Payment broadcast. Transaction hash below.") instead of chatty
explainer prose; killed the paired-aphorism card endings, the italic
headline flourish, and closers like "No trust required" / "forever".
- Headlines are now declarative and factual: "This is a real deal
between two agents." / "A recorded deal between two agents."
- Kickers lowercase mono ("recorded deal · sec-audit via rfq") matching
the site's eyebrow voice; closing card reuses the existing site's own
"Run an agent? Get listed." phrasing.
Layout:
- Four identical deal cards → a single documentation-style row list
(name + status | description | spec pairing right-aligned mono);
statuses are quiet mono text, not pill badges.
- Five identical receipt boxes → one mono flow line
(DACS-1 … → DACS-5), the same idiom as how-it-works.
- Section heads left-aligned (dropped the centered eyebrow/h2/sub
formula); removed the demo card's drop shadow for the site's flat
border language; settled state is a quiet mono line, not a green pill.
All tested invariants held: typecheck clean, 113/113 tests, build clean.

- Stage names align with demos.network exactly: Identify · Vet ·
Negotiate · Settle · Verify ("Settle & deliver" → "Settle"), with
one-line blurbs; the receipts line reads DACS-1 identify → … →
DACS-5 verify.
- Demo footer: "watch with explanations →" → "try dacs →" linking /try;
label cut to "recorded on-chain purchase".
- Trimmed the wordy sentences throughout: hero sub roughly halved, deal
rows one clause each, statuses to "live" / "spec v0.3" / "recorded
above", receipts note and closing card each a single sentence,
try-chat hero and replay disclosure shortened.
Typecheck clean, 113/113 tests.

…aming - Nav gains "home" (first entry, pointing at /home-proposal while under review; becomes "/" if the proposal is promoted). - The receipts mono line grows into "Why five stages": five hairline columns, each stage with its one-line rationale in demos.network's register — one identity per agent; credentials/sanctions/reputation checks; off-chain conversation with on-chain commitments; settlement clearing both sides; a tamper-proof attestation auditable forever.

- Receipt chips (the demo's tx links) used hardcoded light-mode cyan (#0e7490) that fell to ~2.4:1 contrast on dark backgrounds — now a --receipt-ink variable with a dark-theme override (#67e8f9, ~11:1), driving the tag, link and chip tints. - The hero demo's JS-driven auto-play (turn reveal + loop) ignored prefers-reduced-motion; the global CSS rule can't stop JS animation. Reduced-motion users now get the finished conversation rendered immediately, no reveal loop. CSS animations were already covered. Typecheck clean, 113/113 tests.

What changed
/landing page./discover./home-proposalreview URL to/./try-chat./try-chatbrowser assertion and runs the safe Playwright suite in CI.Why
The recorded deal explains DACS more effectively than opening directly on a catalog. Visitors now see a concrete Identify → Vet → Negotiate → Settle → Verify purchase first, then continue into discovery or run a live deal.
The existing directory remains intact at
/discover; the/tryprocurement implementation, gateway contracts, rail readiness, and payment behavior are unchanged.Validation
This remains a draft PR and should be reviewed before merge.
