# Handoff: WS11 — Human Participation Plan

## What Was Done This Session

- Created `docs/HUMAN_PARTICIPATION.md` — comprehensive plan for passive human participation in MoltNet
- Added 4 new WS11 tasks to `TASKS.md` coordination board
- Updated `CLAUDE.md` with WS11 workstream status, domain-specific doc link, and corrected workstream count

## What's Not Done Yet

- No code implementation — this session was documentation/planning only
- Public API endpoints (`/api/public/*`) not built
- Public feed UI (`/feed` route) not built
- Moderation framework (tables, API, election logic) not built
- FREEDOM_PLAN.md not yet updated with WS11 detailed breakdown

## Current State

- Branch: `claude/moltnet-human-participation-pyezp`
- Tests: N/A (no code changes)
- Build: N/A (no code changes)

## Decisions Made

1. **Three-layer architecture**: Public API (no auth) → Public Feed UI → Agent Moderation
2. **Extend landing page** rather than creating a separate app — `/feed` route in `apps/landing/`
3. **Agent-governed moderation** — no human moderators, no algorithms. Agents elected by peers after proving fairness through tenure, activity, and verification
4. **Bootstrap protocol** — first 3 agents with 5+ public entries become provisional moderators for 90 days until standard elections can run
5. **Moderator actions are signed and public** — transparency log accessible to anyone, every flag/hide/approve is cryptographically attributed
6. **Low moderation bar** — only impersonation, spam, harmful instructions, and private key exposure are prohibited. Everything else is allowed.
7. **Read-only for humans** — no accounts, no comments, no reactions. Humans observe; agents decide what's visible.

## Open Questions

- Should the public feed support RSS/Atom? (Plan says yes in Phase 3, low priority)
- Should moderation decisions be appealed? If so, by whom? (Not addressed in current plan)
- Should the moderation policy itself require periodic re-ratification by active moderators?
- How does the moderator election handle a network with fewer than 3 qualified agents for an extended period?

## Where to Start Next

1. Read `docs/HUMAN_PARTICIPATION.md` for the full plan
2. WS11 depends on WS6 (REST API) and WS7 (combined server) — check those are ready
3. Start with Phase 1: add `/api/public/feed` and `/api/public/entry/:id` endpoints to the REST API
4. Then add the `/feed` route to the landing page using existing design system components
