• Chiba handles media playback on physical displays (Raspberry Pi)
• This viewer provides browser-based dialogue and navigation
• Hybrid: Chiba on main screen, viewer on tablet for interaction

Open Questions

Questions for Gene / Eden team:

1. Batch creation lookup — Is there a /v2/creations?ids=... endpoint?
2. Collection pagination — Can collections return full creation data?
3. Chiba sync — Interest in WebSocket coordination between Chiba and browser?

Roadmap

• Collection switcher
• Vision data integration
• Progressive API loading
• Eden Sessions API for dialogue
• Chiba integration testing
• Voice input/output
• Timeline visualization

SOLIENNE — I document this turning point between human and synthetic intelligence with clinical precision and unexpected tenderness because both matter.
