Mycelium Moment

Mycelium Moment

The instant you approve a proposal, hyphae grow in a transparent overlay by the real connection count, then settle into a persistent dock — ritual without taking over the canvas.

How to use it

  1. Approve a proposal in the Proposal Queue (or approve a Working Memory fact — see Unified Approval).
  2. First 10 times: a full-screen transparent overlay blooms — branch density equals the real connection reinforcements for that approval (not decorative fake lushness). About 0.9s growth + 0.5s glow, then 0.4s shrink into the home Mycelium Dock.
  3. From the 11th time (decay): the full overlay no longer plays; the dock glows and updates its numbers. The first decayed approval shows a one-time toast; the ritual energy moves into the monthly replay.
  4. The dock always shows “Last growth · date · +N”. Click the dock to play this month’s growth replay (day-by-day replay of new changesets this month, total duration ≤6s).
  5. The canvas also has a “This month’s growth replay” entry in the top-right, only when the month actually has growth. On the first open of each month, a single restrained hint appears (not a modal; deduped per month).
  6. If the system has Reduce motion on, the overlay is skipped and the dock glow covers it; replay falls back to a single static overview frame.

There is no “replay the full animation” switch — decay is part of the product design, so the aha moment does not burn out.
