Empty workspace → grammar atoms snap into a layout. The harness composes itself.
0–3s · the blank formFour fields type themselves in: title, contributors, audience, deploy target. These aren’t form fields — they’re atoms about to enter the document grammar.
3–4s · architect composesThe architect (an LLM) emits a phase manifest from those four atoms. The manifest is a typed graph: each field becomes a node with edges to layout slots.
4–6s · atoms snap inOutline, evidence panel, voice sampler appear in place — not because a template was selected, but because the manifest grammar bound them. Different audience, different layout.
6–8s · harness emergesTopbar, harness-strip, status bar light up. The lifecycle ribbon highlights the next phase chip (“plan”). The workspace is live.
what this provesThe editor isn’t a template — it’s authored from the manifest. Same code path, different harness, every time.
