 # tallyman-notebooks
 
 Spike for the Tallyman London 2026 talk *"The Future of Notebooks in a Claude Code World"*.
-The plan and proposal live in `plan.md` / `proposal.md`. This README covers the V0 spike only.
+The proposal lives in `proposal.md`. This README covers the V0 spike only.
 For the system architecture — subsystem map, on-disk layout, data-flow paths, and an
 index of all the docs — start with [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md).
 
 ## V0 scope
 
 End-to-end: a Claude Code MCP tool that compiles a xorq expression, materializes
-a parquet to a content-hashed catalog entry on disk, and pushes a live update
+a result to a content-hashed catalog entry on disk, and pushes a live update
 to a browser companion via SSE.
 
 What's working:
 
-- **MCP tools:**
+- **MCP tools** (FastMCP over stdio):
   - Catalog: `catalog_run`, `catalog_load_parquet`, `catalog_create`,
     `catalog_revise`, `catalog_alias`, `catalog_rename`, `catalog_unalias`,
-    `catalog_list`, `catalog_diff`.
+    `catalog_list`, `catalog_diff`, `catalog_chart`, `catalog_recalc`, plus the
+    summary-stat / post-processing / display-klass authoring tools.
   - Notebook: `notebook_reorder`, `notebook_remove`, `notebook_edit_markdown`.
-- **Companion** (FastAPI on `:7860`):
-  - `/catalog`, `/catalog/<hash>` or `/catalog/<alias>` — entry list and detail
-    with V_n chips, forensic history, and a link to internal lineage.
-  - `/notebook` — curated narrative: cells anchored on aliases, vertical layout,
-    inline markdown editor, ↑/↓ reorder, × remove.
-  - `/lineage` and `/lineage/<hash>` — catalog DAG (cross-entry parents derived
-    from `tracked_expr_from_alias`) and per-entry internal expression DAG. Pure SVG, no
-    Cytoscape dep.
-  - `/diff/<alias>[/<va>/<vb>]` — version diff with code diff, schema diff,
-    per-column stats, key-joined side-by-side, and head() side-by-side.
-  - `/errors/<id>` — build-failure detail.
-  - `/api/{entries,aliases,errors,notebook,lineage,catalog_dag}` — JSON.
-  - `/api/sse` — live updates (`new_entry`, `build_failed`, `alias_changed`,
-    `notebook_changed`).
+  - Project: `project_list`, `project_new`, `project_switch`.
+
+    See [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) for the full tool surface.
+- **Companion** (FastAPI on `:7860`) — serves the React SPA
+  (`packages/app/dist`) as a catch-all and exposes a JSON API + SSE under
+  `/{project}/api/*`:
+  - SPA tabs: **Catalog** (entry list + detail with V_n chips and forensic
+    history), **Notebook** (curated narrative anchored on aliases, drag-reorder,
+    inline markdown editor, × remove), **Diff** (code diff, schema diff,
+    per-column stats, key-joined side-by-side, head() side-by-side), **Cache**
+    (per-entry cache footprint), and **Log** (linear, filterable activity view).
+  - JSON: `/{project}/api/{entries,entry/<hash>,aliases,notebook,errors,log,
+    data/<hash>,diff_data/...,disk_usage,result_cache,staleness}`, plus the
+    mutation routes (`PATCH notebook`, `PUT code/<alias>`,
+    `PUT markdown/<cell_id>`, `POST reset`, `POST recalc`,
+    `POST promote_diff/...`).
+  - `/{project}/api/sse` — live updates (`new_entry`, `build_failed`,
+    `alias_changed`, `notebook_changed`, `recalc`, `summary_stat_changed`).
+  - `/internal/notify` — the MCP server's notification hook; fans out to SSE.
 - **Buckaroo subprocess** — `tallyman run` spawns `python -m buckaroo.server`
   on `:8700` (falls back to a random port if busy), watches for the
   `BUCKAROO_PORT=...` handshake, and lazily creates per-entry sessions on
   first view by POSTing the entry's `xorq_build/` dir to Buckaroo's
   `/load_expr` endpoint (PR 776) — sort/search push down to the xorq
-  backend rather than paging over a materialised parquet. The build dir
-  is expanded into a tmp copy first so `${TALLYMAN_PROJECT_ROOT}`
-  placeholders are resolved before xorq's loader sees them. Sessions are
-  persisted under `catalog/buckaroo_sessions.json` and invalidated by
-  start-time when Buckaroo restarts; tmp dirs are cleaned on
-  `BuckarooManager.stop()`. Tear-down rides along with the companion.
-  Disable with `--no-buckaroo`.

 - **Build artifacts are portable.** xorq's absolute filesystem paths are
   rewritten to `${TALLYMAN_PROJECT_ROOT}` on write and expanded back on load.
 - **`tallyman serve <project_dir>`** — read-only companion against a project
   directory that may live anywhere on disk. Mutation routes return 403.

+What's NOT yet implemented:
 
-1. SortableJS drag-reorder for the notebook (current ↑/↓ buttons are the
-   accessibility fallback; drag is the headline UX).
-2. Column-level lineage (xorq has the data; current view is op-level only).
-3. `tallyman pack` / `tallyman replay` (today's hand-off is `cp -r` / `tar`).
-4. ML training pipeline (storyboard beats 7-8).

 ## Running the spike
 
+Build the React companion UI once. The FastAPI server serves its `dist/`; Node +
+pnpm are install-time prerequisites and the build artifact is not committed:
+
 ```sh
-uv sync
-uv run tallyman init spike            # creates ~/.tallyman/projects/spike/ + fixture
-uv run tallyman run --project spike   # edit-mode companion on http://127.0.0.1:7860
+cd packages/app && pnpm install && pnpm build   # writes packages/app/dist/
 ```
 
-The companion's dataframe embed is a Vite React library in `packages/embed/`
-that builds into `src/tallyman_companion/static/buckaroo-embed.{js,css}`. The
-build artifact is **not** committed — Node + pnpm are install-time
-prerequisites:
+Then start the stack:
 
 ```sh
-cd packages/embed && pnpm install && pnpm build      # one-time per checkout
-# or, for active embed development:
-cd packages/embed && pnpm dev                        # vite build --watch
+uv sync
+uv run tallyman init spike            # creates ~/.tallyman-notebooks/projects/spike/ + fixture
+uv run tallyman run --project spike   # edit-mode companion on http://127.0.0.1:7860
 ```
 
-Bump `buckaroo-js-core` in `packages/embed/package.json` to match the
-Python `buckaroo` pin in `pyproject.toml` and rebuild whenever either
-side moves.
-
 In another terminal, launch Claude Code from this directory; it picks up
 `.mcp.json` and exposes the `tallyman` MCP server.
