+# Plan: Add Playwright Scaffolding Files
+
+**Priority:** CRITICAL - Must be done first
+**Dependencies:** None
+**Affects:** All future testing work
+
+## Overview
+
+Create base Playwright scaffolding files to improve efficiency of both manual Playwright MCP testing and Magnitude test automation. This infrastructure will make it easier to write, run, and maintain browser-based tests.
+
+## Current State
+
+- No Playwright configuration file exists
+- No test helpers or utilities for common operations
+- No fixtures for authenticated states
+- Manual testing with Playwright MCP is inefficient
+- Magnitude tests will lack reusable components
+
+## Proposed Solution
+
+Create a complete Playwright testing infrastructure with:
+
+### 1. Core Configuration Files
+
+#### `playwright.config.ts`
+```typescript
+import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  testDir: './tests/playwright',
+  fullyParallel: true,
+  forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI,
+  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
+  workers: process.env.CI ? 1 : undefined,
+  reporter: 'html',
+
+  use: {
+    baseURL: process.env.PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3000',
+    trace: 'on-first-retry',
+    screenshot: 'only-on-failure',
+  },
+
+  projects: [
+    // Setup authentication
+    { name: 'setup', testMatch: /.*\.setup\.ts/ },
+
+    // Desktop browsers
+    {
+      name: 'chromium',
+      use: {
+        ...devices['Desktop Chrome'],
+        storageState: 'tests/playwright/.auth/user.json',
+      },
+      dependencies: ['setup'],
+    },
+
+    {
+      name: 'firefox',
+      use: {
+        ...devices['Desktop Firefox'],
+        storageState: 'tests/playwright/.auth/user.json',
+      },
+      dependencies: ['setup'],
+    },
+
+    // Mobile browsers
+    {
+      name: 'mobile-chrome',
+      use: {
+        ...devices['Pixel 5'],
+        storageState: 'tests/playwright/.auth/user.json',
+      },
+      dependencies: ['setup'],
+    },
+  ],
+
+  webServer: {
+    command: 'pnpm dev',
+    url: 'http://localhost:3000',
+    reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
+  },
+});
+```
+
+#### `.gitignore` updates
+```
+# Playwright
+tests/playwright/.auth/
+test-results/
+playwright-report/
+playwright/.cache/
+```
+
+### 2. Authentication Setup
+
+#### `tests/playwright/auth.setup.ts`
+```typescript
+import { test as setup, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+const authFile = 'tests/playwright/.auth/user.json';
+
+setup('authenticate', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Check if auth already exists and is valid
+  const authCookie = process.env.PLAYWRIGHT_AUTH_COOKIE;
+
+  if (authCookie) {
+    // Use existing auth from environment
+    await page.context().addCookies([{
+      name: 'ponderants-auth',
+      value: authCookie,
+      domain: 'localhost',
+      path: '/',
+    }]);
+  } else {
+    // Perform OAuth login
+    await page.goto('/');
+    await page.click('text=Log in with Bluesky');
+
+    // Wait for OAuth redirect
+    await page.waitForURL(/bsky\.social/);
+
+    // Fill in credentials
+    await page.fill('input[name="identifier"]', process.env.TEST_USER_HANDLE!);
+    await page.fill('input[name="password"]', process.env.TEST_USER_PASSWORD!);
+    await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
+
+    // Wait for redirect back to app
+    await page.waitForURL(/localhost:3000/);
+
+    // Verify we're authenticated
+    await expect(page.getByRole('button', { name: /profile/i })).toBeVisible();
+  }
+
+  // Save signed-in state
+  await page.context().storageState({ path: authFile });
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Test Fixtures and Helpers
+
+#### `tests/playwright/fixtures.ts`
+```typescript
+import { test as base, Page } from '@playwright/test';
+
+type Fixtures = {
+  authenticatedPage: Page;
+  chatPage: Page;
+  galaxyPage: Page;
+};
+
+export const test = base.extend<Fixtures>({
+  authenticatedPage: async ({ page }, use) => {
+    // Already authenticated via setup
+    await page.goto('/');
+    await use(page);
+  },
+
+  chatPage: async ({ page }, use) => {
+    await page.goto('/chat');
+    await use(page);
+  },
+
+  galaxyPage: async ({ page }, use) => {
+    await page.goto('/galaxy');
+    await use(page);
+  },
+});
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+#### `tests/playwright/helpers/chat.ts`
+```typescript
+import { Page, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export class ChatHelper {
+  constructor(private page: Page) {}
+
+  async sendMessage(message: string) {
+    await this.page.fill('textarea[placeholder*="Type"]', message);
+    await this.page.press('textarea[placeholder*="Type"]', 'Enter');
+  }
+
+  async waitForAIResponse() {
+    // Wait for typing indicator to disappear
+    await this.page.waitForSelector('[data-testid="typing-indicator"]', {
+      state: 'hidden',
+      timeout: 30000,
+    });
+  }
+
+  async createNode() {
+    await this.page.click('button:has-text("Create Node")');
+  }
+
+  async getLastMessage() {
+    const messages = this.page.locator('[data-testid="chat-message"]');
+    const count = await messages.count();
+    return messages.nth(count - 1);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### `tests/playwright/helpers/galaxy.ts`
+```typescript
+import { Page, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export class GalaxyHelper {
+  constructor(private page: Page) {}
+
+  async waitForGalaxyLoad() {
+    // Wait for canvas to be visible
+    await this.page.waitForSelector('canvas', { timeout: 10000 });
+
+    // Wait for nodes to be loaded (check for at least one node)
+    await this.page.waitForFunction(() => {
+      const canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');
+      return canvas && canvas.getContext('2d') !== null;
+    });
+  }
+
+  async clickNode(nodeId: string) {
+    // Find and click on a specific node
+    await this.page.evaluate((id) => {
+      const event = new CustomEvent('node-click', { detail: { nodeId: id } });
+      window.dispatchEvent(event);
+    }, nodeId);
+  }
+
+  async getNodeCount() {
+    return await this.page.evaluate(() => {
+      // Access R3F scene data
+      return window.__galaxyNodes?.length || 0;
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### `tests/playwright/helpers/node.ts`
+```typescript
+import { Page, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export class NodeHelper {
+  constructor(private page: Page) {}
+
+  async createNode(title: string, body: string) {
+    // Navigate to chat
+    await this.page.goto('/chat');
+
+    // Trigger node creation
+    await this.page.fill('input[placeholder*="Title"]', title);
+    await this.page.fill('textarea[placeholder*="Body"]', body);
+    await this.page.click('button:has-text("Publish")');
+
+    // Wait for success
+    await expect(this.page.getByText(/published/i)).toBeVisible();
+  }
+
+  async waitForUMAPCalculation() {
+    // Poll /api/galaxy until nodes have coords_3d
+    await this.page.waitForFunction(async () => {
+      const response = await fetch('/api/galaxy');
+      const data = await response.json();
+      return data.nodes.every((n: any) => n.coords_3d !== null);
+    }, { timeout: 60000 });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Example Tests
+
+#### `tests/playwright/smoke.spec.ts`
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from './fixtures';
+
+test.describe('Smoke Tests', () => {
+  test('homepage loads', async ({ page }) => {
+    await page.goto('/');
+    await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Ponderants/);
+  });
+
+  test('authenticated user can access chat', async ({ chatPage }) => {
+    await expect(chatPage.getByRole('textbox')).toBeVisible();
+  });
+
+  test('authenticated user can access galaxy', async ({ galaxyPage }) => {
+    await expect(galaxyPage.locator('canvas')).toBeVisible();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### 5. Environment Variables
+
+#### `.env.test` (template)
+```bash
+# Test user credentials
+TEST_USER_HANDLE=your-test-handle.bsky.social
+TEST_USER_PASSWORD=your-test-password
+
+# Optional: Pre-authenticated cookie for faster tests
+PLAYWRIGHT_AUTH_COOKIE=
+
+# Playwright settings
+PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Create directory structure**
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p tests/playwright/.auth
+   mkdir -p tests/playwright/helpers
+   ```
+
+2. **Install dependencies**
+   ```bash
+   pnpm add -D @playwright/test
+   ```
+
+3. **Create configuration files**
+   - playwright.config.ts
+   - .gitignore updates
+   - .env.test template
+
+4. **Create authentication setup**
+   - auth.setup.ts
+
+5. **Create fixtures and helpers**
+   - fixtures.ts
+   - helpers/chat.ts
+   - helpers/galaxy.ts
+   - helpers/node.ts
+
+6. **Create example tests**
+   - smoke.spec.ts
+
+7. **Update package.json scripts**
+   ```json
+   {
+     "scripts": {
+       "test:playwright": "playwright test",
+       "test:playwright:ui": "playwright test --ui",
+       "test:playwright:debug": "playwright test --debug"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+## Testing Plan
+
+### Manual Playwright MCP Testing
+1. Open Playwright MCP browser
+2. Navigate to http://localhost:3000
+3. Test authentication flow
+4. Test chat interaction
+5. Test node creation
+6. Test galaxy visualization
+7. Test node detail modal
+
+### Magnitude Test Integration
+After manual testing succeeds, create magnitude tests that use the same patterns:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from 'magnitude-test';
+
+test('User can create and view nodes in galaxy', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000');
+  await agent.act('Log in with test credentials');
+  await agent.check('User is authenticated');
+
+  await agent.act('Navigate to chat');
+  await agent.act('Create a new node with title "Test Node" and body "Test content"');
+  await agent.check('Node is published to Bluesky');
+
+  await agent.act('Navigate to galaxy');
+  await agent.check('Can see the new node in 3D visualization');
+});
+```
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ Playwright configuration file exists
+- ✅ Authentication setup works (both OAuth and cookie-based)
+- ✅ Helper classes for chat, galaxy, and node operations exist
+- ✅ Example smoke tests pass
+- ✅ Can run `pnpm test:playwright` successfully
+- ✅ Manual Playwright MCP testing is efficient with helpers
+- ✅ Foundation exists for Magnitude test creation
+
+## Files to Create
+
+1. `playwright.config.ts` - Main configuration
+2. `tests/playwright/auth.setup.ts` - Authentication setup
+3. `tests/playwright/fixtures.ts` - Custom fixtures
+4. `tests/playwright/helpers/chat.ts` - Chat helper functions
+5. `tests/playwright/helpers/galaxy.ts` - Galaxy helper functions
+6. `tests/playwright/helpers/node.ts` - Node helper functions
+7. `tests/playwright/smoke.spec.ts` - Example smoke tests
+8. `.env.test` - Environment variables template
+
+## Files to Update
+
+1. `.gitignore` - Add Playwright artifacts
+2. `package.json` - Add test scripts
+3. `README.md` - Document testing approach (optional)

+# Plan: Add Comprehensive Magnitude Tests for All Features
+
+**Priority:** CRITICAL - Must be done second (after Playwright scaffolding)
+**Dependencies:** 01-playwright-scaffolding.md
+**Affects:** Code quality, regression prevention, production confidence
+
+## Overview
+
+Create comprehensive Magnitude test coverage for ALL existing and new features. Every user flow must be tested fully, including both happy paths and unhappy paths.
+
+## Current State
+
+- No Magnitude tests exist
+- No test coverage for critical flows (auth, chat, node creation, galaxy)
+- No regression testing
+- Production deployments lack confidence
+
+## Test Coverage Required
+
+### 1. Authentication Flow Tests
+
+#### `tests/magnitude/auth.mag.ts`
+
+**Happy Paths:**
+- User can log in with valid Bluesky credentials
+- User can log out successfully
+- User session persists across page refreshes
+- User can access protected routes after authentication
+
+**Unhappy Paths:**
+- Login fails with invalid credentials
+- Login fails with non-existent handle
+- Unauthenticated user redirected from protected routes
+- Session expiry handled gracefully
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from 'magnitude-test';
+
+test('User can log in with valid credentials', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000');
+  await agent.check('Login page is visible');
+
+  await agent.act('Click "Log in with Bluesky" button')
+    .data({
+      handle: process.env.TEST_USER_HANDLE,
+      password: process.env.TEST_USER_PASSWORD
+    });
+
+  await agent.check('User is redirected to Bluesky OAuth');
+  await agent.check('User is redirected back to Ponderants');
+  await agent.check('User sees authenticated interface');
+  await agent.check('Profile menu is visible');
+});
+
+test('Login fails with invalid credentials', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000');
+  await agent.act('Click "Log in with Bluesky" button')
+    .data({
+      handle: 'invalid-user.bsky.social',
+      password: 'wrongpassword'
+    });
+
+  await agent.check('Error message is displayed');
+  await agent.check('User remains on login page');
+});
+
+test('User session persists across refresh', async (agent) => {
+  // First login
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000');
+  await agent.act('Log in with valid credentials');
+  await agent.check('User is authenticated');
+
+  // Refresh page
+  await agent.act('Refresh the page');
+  await agent.check('User is still authenticated');
+  await agent.check('Profile menu is still visible');
+});
+
+test('User can log out', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000');
+  await agent.act('Log in with valid credentials');
+  await agent.check('User is authenticated');
+
+  await agent.act('Click profile menu');
+  await agent.act('Click "Log out" button');
+  await agent.check('User is redirected to login page');
+  await agent.check('Session is cleared');
+});
+```
+
+### 2. Chat Interface Tests
+
+#### `tests/magnitude/chat.mag.ts`
+
+**Happy Paths:**
+- User can send text message and receive AI response
+- User can use voice input and receive AI response
+- User can see typing indicator while AI is thinking
+- User can create a node from conversation
+- User can select AI persona
+- Chat history persists
+
+**Unhappy Paths:**
+- Empty message submission is prevented
+- Voice input fails gracefully without microphone permission
+- AI error displays user-friendly message
+- Network error handled with retry option
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from 'magnitude-test';
+
+test('User can send message and receive AI response', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  await agent.act('Type "What is the meaning of life?" into chat input');
+  await agent.act('Press Enter to send');
+
+  await agent.check('Message appears in chat history');
+  await agent.check('Typing indicator is visible');
+  await agent.check('AI response appears after typing indicator disappears');
+  await agent.check('Response contains thoughtful content');
+});
+
+test('User can use voice input', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  await agent.act('Click microphone button');
+  await agent.check('Recording indicator is visible');
+
+  await agent.act('Speak "Hello, how are you?"');
+  await agent.act('Click microphone button to stop recording');
+
+  await agent.check('Transcribed text appears in chat');
+  await agent.check('AI response is generated');
+});
+
+test('User can create node from conversation', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  await agent.act('Have a conversation about "quantum computing"');
+  await agent.check('At least 3 messages exchanged');
+
+  await agent.act('Click "Create Node" button');
+  await agent.check('Node editor opens with AI-generated draft');
+  await agent.check('Title is populated');
+  await agent.check('Body contains conversation insights');
+});
+
+test('Empty message submission is prevented', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  await agent.act('Press Enter without typing anything');
+  await agent.check('No message is sent');
+  await agent.check('Send button remains disabled');
+});
+
+test('AI error displays user-friendly message', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  // Simulate network error by blocking API calls
+  await agent.act('Send a message while API is blocked');
+
+  await agent.check('Error notification appears');
+  await agent.check('Error message is user-friendly');
+  await agent.check('Retry option is available');
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Node Creation and Publishing Tests
+
+#### `tests/magnitude/nodes.mag.ts`
+
+**Happy Paths:**
+- User can create a simple node (title + body)
+- Node is published to Bluesky as a post
+- Node is published to Bluesky as a thread (long content)
+- Node appears in local cache (SurrealDB)
+- Embedding is generated for node
+- Node can link to other existing nodes
+- AI suggests relevant node links
+- Node appears in galaxy after creation
+
+**Unhappy Paths:**
+- Node creation fails without title
+- Node creation fails without body
+- Bluesky API error handled gracefully
+- Embedding generation failure doesn't block node creation
+- Link suggestion failure doesn't block node creation
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from 'magnitude-test';
+
+test('User can create a simple node', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  await agent.act('Click "New Node" button');
+  await agent.check('Node editor opens');
+
+  await agent.act('Type "My First Thought" into title field');
+  await agent.act('Type "This is my first ponderant about philosophy" into body field');
+  await agent.act('Click "Publish" button');
+
+  await agent.check('Success notification appears');
+  await agent.check('Node is published to Bluesky');
+  await agent.check('Node appears in cache');
+});
+
+test('Long node is published as thread', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  const longBody = 'This is a very long thought that exceeds 300 graphemes. '.repeat(20);
+
+  await agent.act('Create new node');
+  await agent.act(`Type "Long Thought" into title`);
+  await agent.act(`Type long content into body`).data({ body: longBody });
+  await agent.act('Click "Publish" button');
+
+  await agent.check('Node is published as Bluesky thread');
+  await agent.check('Thread contains multiple posts');
+  await agent.check('First post contains link to detail page');
+  await agent.check('Thread indicators show (2/3), (3/3), etc.');
+});
+
+test('Node with emojis handles grapheme counting correctly', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  const emojiContent = '🎉 '.repeat(100) + 'Hello world! 👋 ';
+
+  await agent.act('Create new node');
+  await agent.act('Type "Emoji Test" into title');
+  await agent.act('Type emoji content into body').data({ body: emojiContent });
+  await agent.act('Click "Publish" button');
+
+  await agent.check('Node is published without exceeding 300 grapheme limit');
+  await agent.check('Emojis are counted as 1 grapheme each');
+});
+
+test('Node creation fails without title', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  await agent.act('Create new node');
+  await agent.act('Type "Some body content" into body field');
+  await agent.act('Click "Publish" button without entering title');
+
+  await agent.check('Validation error appears');
+  await agent.check('Error message says "Title is required"');
+  await agent.check('Node is not published');
+});
+
+test('Node links to existing nodes', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  // Create first node
+  await agent.act('Create node titled "Philosophy Basics"');
+  await agent.check('First node is published');
+
+  // Create second node that links to first
+  await agent.act('Create new node titled "Advanced Philosophy"');
+  await agent.check('AI suggests linking to "Philosophy Basics"');
+  await agent.act('Accept suggested link');
+  await agent.act('Publish node');
+
+  await agent.check('Node is published with link');
+  await agent.check('Graph relationship exists in database');
+});
+```
+
+### 4. Galaxy Visualization Tests
+
+#### `tests/magnitude/galaxy.mag.ts`
+
+**Happy Paths:**
+- Galaxy loads and displays nodes with 3D coordinates
+- User can rotate/zoom/pan the galaxy
+- User can click on a node to view details
+- Node detail modal displays correct information
+- User can navigate from modal to chat
+- User can navigate from modal to node detail page
+- Empty state shows when no nodes exist
+- UMAP calculation triggers automatically after 3rd node
+
+**Unhappy Paths:**
+- Galaxy handles zero nodes gracefully
+- Galaxy handles nodes without coordinates
+- WebGL not available fallback
+- Node click on non-existent node handled
+- Modal close doesn't break navigation
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from 'magnitude-test';
+
+test('Galaxy loads and displays nodes', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/galaxy');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  // Ensure user has at least 3 nodes with embeddings
+  await agent.check('Galaxy canvas is visible');
+  await agent.check('3D nodes are rendered');
+  await agent.check('Can rotate the galaxy by dragging');
+  await agent.check('Can zoom with scroll wheel');
+});
+
+test('User can click on node to view details', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/galaxy');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  await agent.check('At least one node is visible');
+  await agent.act('Click on a node sphere');
+
+  await agent.check('Node detail modal opens');
+  await agent.check('Modal shows node title');
+  await agent.check('Modal shows node body');
+  await agent.check('Modal shows Bluesky post link');
+});
+
+test('Node detail modal navigation works', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/galaxy');
+  await agent.act('Log in if needed');
+
+  await agent.act('Click on a node');
+  await agent.check('Modal is open');
+
+  await agent.act('Click "View Full Detail" button');
+  await agent.check('Navigated to /galaxy/[node-id] page');
+  await agent.check('URL contains node ID');
+  await agent.check('Page shows full node content');
+});
+
+test('Empty galaxy shows helpful message', async (agent) => {
+  // Use a new test user with no nodes
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/galaxy');
+  await agent.act('Log in with empty account');
+

+### 5. Voice Feature Tests
+
+#### `tests/magnitude/voice.mag.ts`
+
+**Happy Paths:**
+- User can start voice recording

+### 6. Integration Tests
+
+#### `tests/magnitude/integration.mag.ts`
+
+**Full user journeys:**
+- Complete flow: Login → Chat → Create Node → View in Galaxy
+- Complete flow: Login → Galaxy → View Node → Edit Node
+- Complete flow: Login → Create 3 Nodes → UMAP → Explore Galaxy
+
+```typescript

+});
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Create test directory structure**

+# Plan: Stream AI Output to Deepgram for Faster TTS Synthesis
+
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+**Dependencies:** None
+**Affects:** Voice interaction latency, user experience
+
+## Overview
+
+Currently, the app waits for the complete AI response before sending it to Deepgram for TTS. This creates a laggy experience. By streaming the AI output directly to Deepgram as it's generated, we can start playing audio much faster and create a more responsive voice interaction.
+
+## Current Implementation
+
+### Current Flow (SLOW)
+```
+User speaks → Deepgram transcribe → Send to AI
+                                      ↓
+                                  Wait for full response (3-10s)
+                                      ↓
+                                  Send complete text to Deepgram TTS
+                                      ↓
+                                  Wait for audio generation (1-3s)
+                                      ↓
+                                  Play audio
+```
+
+**Total latency:** 4-13 seconds before first audio plays
+
+## Proposed Implementation
+
+### New Flow (FAST)
+```
+User speaks → Deepgram transcribe → Stream to AI
+                                      ↓
+                                  Stream chunks to Deepgram TTS
+                                      ↓ (chunks arrive)
+                                  Play audio chunks immediately
+```
+
+**Total latency:** 1-2 seconds before first audio plays
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### 1. Modify AI SDK Integration
+
+Currently using `useChat` from Vercel AI SDK with async completion:
+
+```typescript
+// Current (app/api/chat/route.ts)
+const result = await streamText({
+  model: google('gemini-2.0-flash-exp'),
+  messages,
+  system: systemPrompt,
+});
+
+return result.toDataStreamResponse();
+```
+
+Need to add TTS streaming:
+
+```typescript
+// New approach
+const result = streamText({
+  model: google('gemini-2.0-flash-exp'),
+  messages,
+  system: systemPrompt,
+  async onChunk({ chunk }) {
+    // Stream each chunk to Deepgram TTS
+    if (chunk.type === 'text-delta') {
+      await streamToDeepgram(chunk.textDelta);
+    }
+  },
+});
+
+return result.toDataStreamResponse();
+```
+
+### 2. Create Deepgram TTS Streaming Service
+
+#### `lib/deepgram-tts-stream.ts`
+```typescript
+import { createClient, LiveClient } from '@deepgram/sdk';
+
+export class DeepgramTTSStream {
+  private client: LiveClient;
+  private audioQueue: Uint8Array[] = [];
+  private isPlaying = false;
+
+  constructor(apiKey: string) {
+    const deepgram = createClient(apiKey);
+    this.client = deepgram.speak.live({
+      model: 'aura-asteria-en',
+      encoding: 'linear16',
+      sample_rate: 24000,
+    });
+
+    this.client.on('data', (data: Buffer) => {
+      this.audioQueue.push(new Uint8Array(data));
+      this.playNextChunk();
+    });
+  }
+
+  async streamText(text: string) {
+    // Send text chunk to Deepgram for synthesis
+    this.client.send(text);
+  }
+
+  async flush() {
+    // Signal end of text stream
+    this.client.close();
+  }
+
+  private async playNextChunk() {
+    if (this.isPlaying || this.audioQueue.length === 0) return;
+
+    this.isPlaying = true;
+    const chunk = this.audioQueue.shift()!;
+
+    // Play audio chunk using Web Audio API
+    await this.playAudioChunk(chunk);
+
+    this.isPlaying = false;
+    this.playNextChunk(); // Play next if available
+  }
+
+  private async playAudioChunk(chunk: Uint8Array) {
+    const audioContext = new AudioContext({ sampleRate: 24000 });
+    const audioBuffer = audioContext.createBuffer(
+      1, // mono
+      chunk.length / 2, // 16-bit samples
+      24000
+    );
+
+    const channelData = audioBuffer.getChannelData(0);
+    for (let i = 0; i < chunk.length / 2; i++) {
+      // Convert 16-bit PCM to float32
+      const sample = (chunk[i * 2] | (chunk[i * 2 + 1] << 8));
+      channelData[i] = sample / 32768.0;
+    }
+
+    const source = audioContext.createBufferSource();
+    source.buffer = audioBuffer;
+    source.connect(audioContext.destination);
+
+    return new Promise((resolve) => {
+      source.onended = resolve;
+      source.start();
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Create Server-Sent Events (SSE) Endpoint for TTS
+
+#### `app/api/chat-with-tts/route.ts`
+```typescript
+import { DeepgramTTSStream } from '@/lib/deepgram-tts-stream';
+import { streamText } from 'ai';
+import { google } from '@ai-sdk/google';
+
+export async function POST(request: Request) {
+  const { messages } = await request.json();
+
+  // Create a TransformStream for SSE
+  const stream = new TransformStream();
+  const writer = stream.writable.getWriter();
+  const encoder = new TextEncoder();
+
+  // Start streaming AI response
+  (async () => {
+    const ttsStream = new DeepgramTTSStream(process.env.DEEPGRAM_API_KEY!);
+
+    try {
+      const result = streamText({
+        model: google('gemini-2.0-flash-exp'),
+        messages,
+        async onChunk({ chunk }) {
+          if (chunk.type === 'text-delta') {
+            // Send text to client
+            await writer.write(
+              encoder.encode(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ text: chunk.textDelta })}\n\n`)
+            );
+
+            // Stream to Deepgram TTS
+            await ttsStream.streamText(chunk.textDelta);
+          }
+        },
+      });
+
+      await result.text; // Wait for completion
+      await ttsStream.flush();
+
+      await writer.write(encoder.encode('data: [DONE]\n\n'));
+    } catch (error) {
+      await writer.write(
+        encoder.encode(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ error: error.message })}\n\n`)
+      );
+    } finally {
+      await writer.close();
+    }
+  })();
+
+  return new Response(stream.readable, {
+    headers: {
+      'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream',
+      'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
+      Connection: 'keep-alive',
+    },
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Update Client to Consume SSE with TTS
+
+#### `components/ChatInterface.tsx`
+```typescript
+const [isTTSEnabled, setIsTTSEnabled] = useState(false);
+const ttsStreamRef = useRef<DeepgramTTSStream | null>(null);
+
+async function sendMessageWithTTS(message: string) {
+  const response = await fetch('/api/chat-with-tts', {
+    method: 'POST',
+    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+    body: JSON.stringify({ messages: [...messages, { role: 'user', content: message }] }),
+  });
+
+  const reader = response.body!.getReader();
+  const decoder = new TextDecoder();
+
+  // Initialize TTS stream
+  if (isTTSEnabled) {
+    ttsStreamRef.current = new DeepgramTTSStream();
+  }
+
+  let fullText = '';
+
+  while (true) {
+    const { done, value } = await reader.read();
+    if (done) break;
+
+    const chunk = decoder.decode(value);
+    const lines = chunk.split('\n');
+
+    for (const line of lines) {
+      if (line.startsWith('data: ')) {
+        const data = line.slice(6);
+        if (data === '[DONE]') {
+          if (ttsStreamRef.current) {
+            await ttsStreamRef.current.flush();
+          }
+          break;
+        }
+
+        try {
+          const parsed = JSON.parse(data);
+          if (parsed.text) {
+            fullText += parsed.text;
+            // Update UI with incremental text
+            setMessages((prev) => {
+              const last = prev[prev.length - 1];
+              if (last && last.role === 'assistant') {
+                return [...prev.slice(0, -1), { ...last, content: fullText }];
+              }
+              return [...prev, { role: 'assistant', content: fullText }];
+            });
+
+            // Stream to TTS
+            if (ttsStreamRef.current) {
+              await ttsStreamRef.current.streamText(parsed.text);
+            }
+          }
+        } catch (e) {
+          console.error('Failed to parse SSE data:', e);
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Alternative: Use Deepgram's Native Streaming TTS
+
+Deepgram has a WebSocket-based streaming TTS API that's even more efficient:
+
+```typescript
+const deepgram = createClient(process.env.DEEPGRAM_API_KEY);
+
+const connection = deepgram.speak.live({
+  model: 'aura-asteria-en',
+  encoding: 'linear16',
+  sample_rate: 24000,
+});
+
+connection.on('open', () => {
+  console.log('TTS connection established');
+});
+
+connection.on('data', (audioData: Buffer) => {
+  // Play audio chunk immediately
+  playAudioBuffer(audioData);
+});
+
+// As AI chunks arrive, send to Deepgram
+aiStream.on('text-delta', (text) => {
+  connection.send(text);
+});
+
+// When AI completes
+aiStream.on('finish', () => {
+  connection.close();
+});
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Research Deepgram TTS Streaming API**
+   - Review docs: https://developers.deepgram.com/docs/tts-streaming
+   - Test WebSocket connection manually
+   - Understand audio format and buffering
+
+2. **Create TTS streaming service**
+   - `lib/deepgram-tts-stream.ts`
+   - Implement audio queue and playback
+   - Handle reconnection and errors
+
+3. **Modify API route for streaming**
+   - Create `/api/chat-with-tts` route
+   - Implement SSE response
+   - Connect AI stream to TTS stream
+
+4. **Update client components**
+   - Add TTS toggle in UI
+   - Implement SSE consumption
+   - Connect to audio playback
+
+5. **Test with Playwright MCP**
+   - Enable TTS
+   - Send message
+   - Verify audio starts playing quickly (< 2s)
+   - Verify audio quality
+   - Test error handling (network drop, TTS failure)
+
+6. **Add Magnitude test**
+   ```typescript
+   test('TTS streams audio with low latency', async (agent) => {
+     await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+     await agent.act('Enable TTS in settings');
+     await agent.act('Send message "Hello"');
+
+     await agent.check('Audio starts playing within 2 seconds');
+     await agent.check('Audio continues as AI generates response');
+     await agent.check('Audio completes without gaps');
+   });
+   ```
+
+## Performance Targets
+
+- **Time to first audio:** < 2 seconds (vs current 4-13s)
+- **Perceived latency:** Near real-time streaming
+- **Audio quality:** No degradation from current implementation
+- **Reliability:** Graceful fallback if streaming fails
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ TTS audio starts playing within 2 seconds of AI response beginning
+- ✅ Audio streams continuously as AI generates text
+- ✅ No perceptible gaps or stuttering in audio playback
+- ✅ Graceful fallback to batch TTS if streaming fails
+- ✅ Playwright MCP manual test passes
+- ✅ Magnitude test passes
+- ✅ No regression in audio quality
+

+# Plan: Fix Galaxy Node Clicking and Navigation
+
+**Priority:** HIGH - Critical user experience issue
+**Dependencies:** None
+**Affects:** Galaxy visualization navigation, user frustration
+
+## Overview
+
+There are two critical bugs with galaxy node interaction:
+1. When going directly to a node ID link (`/galaxy/node:xxx`), it redirects to `/chat`
+2. When clicking on a node in `/galaxy` (either general or on a specific node ID URL), the modal closes automatically
+
+Both issues severely impact the galaxy user experience and need immediate fixing.
+
+## Current Broken Behavior
+
+### Issue 1: Direct Node URL Redirects to Chat
+```
+User clicks: /galaxy/node:abc123
+Expected: Shows node detail page with full content
+Actual: Redirects to /chat
+```
+
+### Issue 2: Modal Auto-Closes on Node Click
+```
+User action: Click node sphere in galaxy visualization
+Expected: Modal stays open showing node details
+Actual: Modal opens briefly then closes immediately
+```
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+Let me investigate the current implementation:
+
+### 1. Check `/app/galaxy/[node-id]/page.tsx`
+
+Likely issues:
+- Missing authentication check causing redirect
+- Incorrect route parameter parsing
+- Navigation logic in wrong place
+
+### 2. Check Galaxy Modal Component
+
+Likely issues:
+- Event handler conflict (click bubbling to parent)
+- State management issue (modal state reset)
+- React Three Fiber event handling bug
+
+## Proposed Fixes
+
+### Fix 1: Node Detail Page Route
+
+#### Current (broken):
+```typescript
+// app/galaxy/[node-id]/page.tsx
+export default async function NodeDetailPage({ params }: { params: { 'node-id': string } }) {
+  // Redirects to /chat if not authenticated?
+}
+```
+
+#### Fixed:
+```typescript
+// app/galaxy/[node-id]/page.tsx
+import { cookies } from 'next/headers';
+import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
+import { verifySurrealJwt } from '@/lib/auth/jwt';
+import { connectToDB } from '@/lib/db';
+
+export default async function NodeDetailPage({
+  params,
+}: {
+  params: { 'node-id': string };
+}) {
+  // 1. Verify authentication
+  const cookieStore = await cookies();
+  const surrealJwt = cookieStore.get('ponderants-auth')?.value;
+
+  if (!surrealJwt) {
+    // Redirect to login, preserving the intended destination
+    redirect(`/login?redirect=/galaxy/${params['node-id']}`);
+  }
+
+  const userSession = verifySurrealJwt(surrealJwt);
+  if (!userSession) {
+    redirect(`/login?redirect=/galaxy/${params['node-id']}`);
+  }
+
+  // 2. Fetch node data
+  const db = await connectToDB();
+  const nodeId = params['node-id'];
+
+  const nodes = await db.select<NodeData>(nodeId);
+  const node = nodes[0];
+
+  if (!node) {
+    // Node doesn't exist or user doesn't have access
+    redirect('/galaxy?error=node-not-found');
+  }
+
+  // 3. Verify user owns this node
+  if (node.user_did !== userSession.did) {
+    redirect('/galaxy?error=unauthorized');
+  }
+
+  // 4. Render node detail page
+  return (
+    <Stack p="xl">
+      <Title order={1}>{node.title}</Title>
+      <Text>{node.body}</Text>
+      {node.atp_uri && (
+        <Anchor href={node.atp_uri} target="_blank">
+          View on Bluesky
+        </Anchor>
+      )}
+      <Button component={Link} href="/galaxy">
+        Back to Galaxy
+      </Button>
+    </Stack>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Fix 2: Galaxy Modal Component
+
+#### Problem: Click event bubbling
+
+When user clicks node in R3F, the click event might be:
+- Bubbling to parent canvas
+- Triggering canvas click handler that closes modal
+- Or: React state update race condition
+
+#### Solution: Stop event propagation
+
+```typescript
+// components/galaxy/NodeSphere.tsx
+import { useRef } from 'react';
+import { ThreeEvent } from '@react-three/fiber';
+
+function NodeSphere({ node, onClick }: { node: NodeData; onClick: (node: NodeData) => void }) {
+  const meshRef = useRef();
+
+  const handleClick = (event: ThreeEvent<MouseEvent>) => {
+    // CRITICAL: Stop propagation to prevent canvas click handler
+    event.stopPropagation();
+
+    // Call parent onClick
+    onClick(node);
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <mesh
+      ref={meshRef}
+      position={node.coords_3d}
+      onClick={handleClick}
+    >
+      <sphereGeometry args={[0.1, 16, 16]} />
+      <meshStandardMaterial color="#fff" />
+    </mesh>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+#### Problem: Modal state management
+
+Modal might be controlled by both:
+- Galaxy component state
+- URL query params
+- Leading to race condition
+
+#### Solution: Single source of truth
+
+```typescript
+// app/galaxy/page.tsx
+'use client';
+
+import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
+import { useSearchParams, useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+
+export default function GalaxyPage() {
+  const searchParams = useSearchParams();
+  const router = useRouter();
+
+  // Modal state controlled ONLY by URL query param
+  const selectedNodeId = searchParams.get('node');
+
+  const handleNodeClick = (nodeId: string) => {
+    // Update URL to open modal
+    router.push(`/galaxy?node=${encodeURIComponent(nodeId)}`, { scroll: false });
+  };
+
+  const handleModalClose = () => {
+    // Remove query param to close modal
+    router.push('/galaxy', { scroll: false });
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <>
+      <ThoughtGalaxy
+        nodes={nodes}
+        links={links}
+        onNodeClick={handleNodeClick}
+      />
+
+      <Modal
+        opened={!!selectedNodeId}
+        onClose={handleModalClose}
+        size="lg"
+      >
+        {selectedNodeId && <NodeDetailModal nodeId={selectedNodeId} />}
+      </Modal>
+    </>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Fix 3: Canvas Click Handler
+
+If canvas has a click handler that closes modal, remove it or add condition:
+
+```typescript
+// components/galaxy/ThoughtGalaxy.tsx
+<Canvas
+  onClick={(e) => {
+    // Only close modal if clicking on background (not a node)
+    if (e.target === e.currentTarget) {
+      onBackgroundClick?.();
+    }
+  }}
+>
+  {/* ... */}
+</Canvas>
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Manual Playwright MCP Testing
+
+#### Test 1: Direct Node URL
+```typescript
+test('Direct node URL loads correctly', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Create a node first
+  const nodeId = await createTestNode(page);
+
+  // Navigate directly to node detail page
+  await page.goto(`/galaxy/${nodeId}`);
+
+  // Verify we're on the correct page
+  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/galaxy\/node:/);
+  await expect(page.getByRole('heading', { level: 1 })).toBeVisible();
+  await expect(page.getByText(/View on Bluesky/)).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+#### Test 2: Modal Stays Open
+```typescript
+test('Galaxy modal stays open when clicking node', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/galaxy');
+
+  // Click on a node sphere
+  await page.evaluate(() => {
+    const event = new CustomEvent('node-click', { detail: { nodeId: 'node:123' } });
+    window.dispatchEvent(event);
+  });
+
+  // Modal should open
+  await expect(page.getByRole('dialog')).toBeVisible();
+
+  // Wait 2 seconds
+  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
+
+  // Modal should still be open
+  await expect(page.getByRole('dialog')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+#### Test 3: Modal Navigation
+```typescript
+test('Can navigate from galaxy to node detail page', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/galaxy');
+
+  // Click node to open modal
+  await clickNode(page, 'node:123');
+
+  // Modal opens
+  await expect(page.getByRole('dialog')).toBeVisible();
+
+  // Click "View Full Detail"
+  await page.click('button:has-text("View Full Detail")');
+
+  // Navigate to detail page
+  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/galaxy\/node:123/);
+  await expect(page.getByRole('dialog')).not.toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+### Magnitude Tests
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from 'magnitude-test';
+
+test('User can navigate to node via direct URL', async (agent) => {
+  // Create a node first
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Create a test node');
+  const nodeUrl = await agent.getData('node-url');
+
+  // Navigate directly to node URL
+  await agent.open(nodeUrl);
+  await agent.check('Node detail page loads');
+  await agent.check('Node title is visible');
+  await agent.check('Node body is visible');
+  await agent.check('Bluesky link is visible');
+});
+
+test('Galaxy modal stays open when clicking nodes', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/galaxy');
+  await agent.act('Click on a node sphere');
+
+  await agent.check('Modal opens');
+  await agent.wait(2000);
+  await agent.check('Modal is still open');
+  await agent.check('Node details are visible');
+});
+
+test('Can navigate from galaxy modal to node detail page', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/galaxy');
+  await agent.act('Click on a node');
+  await agent.check('Modal opens');
+
+  await agent.act('Click "View Full Detail" button');
+  await agent.check('Navigated to node detail page');
+  await agent.check('URL contains node ID');
+  await agent.check('Full node content is visible');
+});
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Fix node detail page route**
+   - Add proper authentication check
+   - Add redirect with return URL
+   - Add node ownership verification
+   - Add error handling for missing nodes
+
+2. **Fix modal event handling**
+   - Add `event.stopPropagation()` to node click handler
+   - Remove or condition any canvas-level click handlers
+   - Ensure modal state is controlled by URL query param
+
+3. **Test with Playwright MCP**
+   - Test direct URL navigation
+   - Test modal stays open
+   - Test modal to detail page navigation
+   - Fix any issues found
+
+4. **Add Magnitude tests**
+   - Write tests covering all 3 scenarios
+   - Ensure tests pass
+
+5. **Deploy and verify in production**
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ Direct node URLs (`/galaxy/node:xxx`) load correctly
+- ✅ No redirect to `/chat` when accessing node URLs
+- ✅ Galaxy modal stays open after clicking node
+- ✅ Can navigate from modal to detail page
+- ✅ Can navigate from detail page back to galaxy

+# Plan: Add Dark/Light Mode with Dynamic Favicons
+
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+**Dependencies:** None
+**Affects:** User experience, accessibility, branding
+
+## Overview
+
+Add full dark mode / light mode support throughout the app, including:
+- Dynamic theme switching
+- Persistent user preference
+- System preference detection
+- Mode-specific favicons
+- Smooth transitions
+
+## Current State
+
+- App uses a minimal grayscale theme
+- No dark mode support
+- Single favicon for all modes
+- No theme toggle UI
+
+## Proposed Implementation
+
+### 1. Mantine Color Scheme Support
+
+Mantine has built-in dark mode support. We'll leverage `@mantine/core` ColorSchemeScript and hooks.
+
+#### Update `app/layout.tsx`
+```typescript
+import {
+  ColorSchemeScript,
+  MantineProvider,
+} from '@mantine/core';
+
+export default function RootLayout({
+  children,
+}: {
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+}) {
+  return (
+    <html lang="en">
+      <head>
+        <ColorSchemeScript defaultColorScheme="auto" />
+        {/* Dynamic favicon based on theme */}
+        <link
+          rel="icon"
+          href="/favicon-light.svg"
+          media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)"
+        />
+        <link
+          rel="icon"
+          href="/favicon-dark.svg"
+          media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"
+        />
+      </head>
+      <body>
+        <MantineProvider defaultColorScheme="auto">
+          {children}
+        </MantineProvider>
+      </body>
+    </html>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Update Theme Configuration
+
+#### `app/theme.ts`
+```typescript
+import { createTheme, MantineColorsTuple } from '@mantine/core';
+
+const gray: MantineColorsTuple = [
+  '#f8f9fa',
+  '#f1f3f5',
+  '#e9ecef',
+  '#dee2e6',
+  '#ced4da',
+  '#adb5bd',
+  '#868e96',
+  '#495057',
+  '#343a40',
+  '#212529',
+];
+
+export const theme = createTheme({
+  fontFamily: 'Inter, system-ui, sans-serif',
+  primaryColor: 'gray',
+  colors: {
+    gray,
+  },
+
+  // Dark mode specific colors
+  black: '#0a0a0a',
+  white: '#ffffff',
+
+  // Component-specific dark mode overrides
+  components: {
+    AppShell: {
+      styles: (theme) => ({
+        main: {
+          backgroundColor: theme.colorScheme === 'dark'
+            ? theme.colors.dark[8]
+            : theme.white,
+        },
+      }),
+    },
+
+    Paper: {
+      styles: (theme) => ({
+        root: {
+          backgroundColor: theme.colorScheme === 'dark'
+            ? theme.colors.dark[7]
+            : theme.white,
+          borderColor: theme.colorScheme === 'dark'
+            ? theme.colors.dark[5]
+            : theme.colors.gray[3],
+        },
+      }),
+    },
+
+    Modal: {
+      styles: (theme) => ({
+        content: {
+          backgroundColor: theme.colorScheme === 'dark'
+            ? theme.colors.dark[7]
+            : theme.white,
+        },
+        header: {
+          backgroundColor: theme.colorScheme === 'dark'
+            ? theme.colors.dark[6]
+            : theme.colors.gray[0],
+        },
+      }),
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Theme Toggle Component
+
+#### `components/ThemeToggle.tsx`
+```typescript
+'use client';
+
+import { ActionIcon, useMantineColorScheme, useComputedColorScheme } from '@mantine/core';
+import { IconSun, IconMoon } from '@tabler/icons-react';
+
+export function ThemeToggle() {
+  const { setColorScheme } = useMantineColorScheme();
+  const computedColorScheme = useComputedColorScheme('light');
+
+  return (
+    <ActionIcon
+      onClick={() => setColorScheme(computedColorScheme === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark')}
+      variant="subtle"
+      size="lg"
+      aria-label="Toggle color scheme"
+    >
+      {computedColorScheme === 'dark' ? (
+        <IconSun size={20} />
+      ) : (
+        <IconMoon size={20} />
+      )}
+    </ActionIcon>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Add Toggle to Desktop Navigation
+
+#### `components/DesktopNav.tsx`
+```typescript
+import { ThemeToggle } from './ThemeToggle';
+
+export function DesktopNav() {
+  return (
+    <AppShell.Navbar p="md">
+      <Stack justify="space-between" h="100%">
+        <Stack>
+          {/* Navigation items */}
+        </Stack>
+
+        <Stack>
+          <ThemeToggle />
+          {/* Profile menu */}
+        </Stack>
+      </Stack>
+    </AppShell.Navbar>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Create Mode-Specific Favicons
+
+#### Design Requirements
+- **Light mode favicon:** Dark icon on transparent background
+- **Dark mode favicon:** Light icon on transparent background
+- Both should be SVG for scalability
+- Simple, recognizable icon representing "thoughts" or "ponderants"
+
+#### `public/favicon-light.svg`
+```svg
+<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
+  <!-- Dark icon for light mode -->
+  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="#212529" />
+  <circle cx="35" cy="45" r="5" fill="#ffffff" />
+  <circle cx="65" cy="45" r="5" fill="#ffffff" />
+  <path d="M 30 65 Q 50 75 70 65" stroke="#ffffff" stroke-width="3" fill="none" />
+</svg>
+```
+
+#### `public/favicon-dark.svg`
+```svg
+<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
+  <!-- Light icon for dark mode -->
+  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="#f8f9fa" />
+  <circle cx="35" cy="45" r="5" fill="#212529" />
+  <circle cx="65" cy="45" r="5" fill="#212529" />
+  <path d="M 30 65 Q 50 75 70 65" stroke="#212529" stroke-width="3" fill="none" />
+</svg>
+```
+
+### 6. Update Galaxy Visualization for Dark Mode
+
+The 3D galaxy needs to look good in both modes:
+
+#### `components/galaxy/ThoughtGalaxy.tsx`
+```typescript
+'use client';
+
+import { useComputedColorScheme } from '@mantine/core';
+
+export function ThoughtGalaxy() {
+  const colorScheme = useComputedColorScheme('light');
+  const isDark = colorScheme === 'dark';
+
+  return (
+    <Canvas
+      style={{
+        background: isDark
+          ? 'linear-gradient(to bottom, #0a0a0a, #1a1a1a)'
+          : 'linear-gradient(to bottom, #f8f9fa, #e9ecef)',
+      }}
+    >
+      <ambientLight intensity={isDark ? 0.3 : 0.5} />
+      <pointLight position={[10, 10, 10]} intensity={isDark ? 0.8 : 1} />
+
+      {/* Node spheres - adjust color based on theme */}
+      <NodeSphere color={isDark ? '#f8f9fa' : '#212529'} />
+
+      {/* Link lines */}
+      <LinkLine color={isDark ? 'rgba(248, 249, 250, 0.3)' : 'rgba(33, 37, 41, 0.3)'} />
+    </Canvas>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Persist User Preference
+
+Mantine automatically stores the preference in localStorage with the key `mantine-color-scheme-value`.
+
+For server-side rendering, we can add a cookie fallback:
+
+#### `middleware.ts`
+```typescript
+import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
+import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server';
+
+export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
+  const response = NextResponse.next();
+
+  // Set color scheme cookie if not present
+  if (!request.cookies.has('mantine-color-scheme')) {
+    response.cookies.set('mantine-color-scheme', 'auto');
+  }
+
+  return response;
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Manual Playwright MCP Testing
+
+#### Test 1: Theme Toggle
+```typescript
+test('User can toggle between light and dark mode', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/');
+
+  // Check initial theme
+  const initialTheme = await page.evaluate(() => {
+    return document.documentElement.getAttribute('data-mantine-color-scheme');
+  });
+
+  // Click theme toggle
+  await page.click('[aria-label="Toggle color scheme"]');
+
+  // Check theme changed
+  const newTheme = await page.evaluate(() => {
+    return document.documentElement.getAttribute('data-mantine-color-scheme');
+  });
+
+  expect(newTheme).not.toBe(initialTheme);
+});
+```
+
+#### Test 2: Theme Persistence
+```typescript
+test('Theme preference persists across page refreshes', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/');
+
+  // Set to dark mode
+  await page.click('[aria-label="Toggle color scheme"]');
+  await page.waitForTimeout(100);
+
+  const darkTheme = await page.evaluate(() => {
+    return document.documentElement.getAttribute('data-mantine-color-scheme');
+  });
+
+  // Refresh page
+  await page.reload();
+
+  // Check theme persisted
+  const persistedTheme = await page.evaluate(() => {
+    return document.documentElement.getAttribute('data-mantine-color-scheme');
+  });
+
+  expect(persistedTheme).toBe(darkTheme);
+});
+```
+
+#### Test 3: Favicon Changes
+```typescript
+test('Favicon changes with theme', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/');
+
+  // Get favicon in light mode
+  const lightFavicon = await page.evaluate(() => {
+    const link = document.querySelector('link[rel="icon"]');
+    return link?.getAttribute('href');
+  });
+
+  // Switch to dark mode
+  await page.click('[aria-label="Toggle color scheme"]');
+  await page.waitForTimeout(100);
+
+  // Get favicon in dark mode
+  const darkFavicon = await page.evaluate(() => {
+    const link = document.querySelector('link[rel="icon"]');
+    return link?.getAttribute('href');
+  });
+
+  expect(lightFavicon).toContain('light');
+  expect(darkFavicon).toContain('dark');
+});
+```
+
+### Magnitude Tests
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from 'magnitude-test';
+
+test('User can switch between light and dark mode', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000');
+  await agent.check('Page loads in default theme');
+
+  await agent.act('Click theme toggle button');
+  await agent.check('Theme switches to opposite mode');
+  await agent.check('All UI elements are visible in new theme');
+});
+
+test('Dark mode looks good throughout app', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000');
+  await agent.act('Switch to dark mode');
+
+  await agent.act('Navigate to /chat');
+  await agent.check('Chat interface is readable in dark mode');
+
+  await agent.act('Navigate to /galaxy');
+  await agent.check('Galaxy visualization looks good in dark mode');
+
+  await agent.act('Navigate to /edit');
+  await agent.check('Editor is readable in dark mode');
+});
+
+test('Theme preference persists', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000');
+  await agent.act('Switch to dark mode');
+  await agent.check('App is in dark mode');
+
+  await agent.act('Refresh page');
+  await agent.check('App remains in dark mode');
+});
+```

+# Plan: Fix Double Border on Desktop Between Sidebar and Conversation
+
+**Priority:** LOW - Visual polish
+**Dependencies:** None
+**Affects:** Desktop UI aesthetics
+
+## Overview
+
+There's a double border appearing on desktop between the sidebar and the main conversation area. This creates a visual inconsistency and needs to be fixed for a polished look.
+
+## Current Issue
+
+```
++----------+||+-------------+
+| Sidebar  |||  Main       |
+|          |||  Content    |
+|          |||             |
++----------+||+-------------+
+             ^^
+        Double border
+```
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Likely causes:
+1. Both AppShell.Navbar and AppShell.Main have borders
+2. Border-box sizing causing borders to stack
+3. Mantine default styles adding extra borders
+
+## Investigation Steps
+
+1. **Inspect current implementation**
+   ```typescript
+   // Check components/DesktopNav.tsx
+   // Check app/layout.tsx AppShell usage
+   // Check theme.ts AppShell styles
+   ```
+
+2. **Identify which elements have borders**
+   - AppShell.Navbar
+   - AppShell.Main
+   - Any wrapper components
+
+## Proposed Fixes
+
+### Option 1: Remove Border from One Side
+
+```typescript
+// app/theme.ts
+export const theme = createTheme({
+  components: {
+    AppShell: {
+      styles: {
+        navbar: {
+          borderRight: 'none', // Remove right border from navbar
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Option 2: Use Single Shared Border
+
+```typescript
+// app/theme.ts
+export const theme = createTheme({
+  components: {
+    AppShell: {
+      styles: (theme) => ({
+        navbar: {
+          borderRight: `1px solid ${theme.colors.gray[3]}`,
+        },
+        main: {
+          borderLeft: 'none', // Remove left border from main
+        },
+      }),
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Option 3: Use Divider Component
+
+```typescript
+// components/DesktopNav.tsx
+<Group h="100%" gap={0} wrap="nowrap">
+  <AppShell.Navbar>{/* ... */}</AppShell.Navbar>
+  <Divider orientation="vertical" />
+  <AppShell.Main>{/* ... */}</AppShell.Main>
+</Group>
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Playwright MCP Test
+```typescript
+test('No double border between sidebar and main content', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/chat');
+  await page.setViewportSize({ width: 1920, height: 1080 });
+
+  // Take screenshot of border area
+  const borderElement = page.locator('.mantine-AppShell-navbar');
+  await borderElement.screenshot({ path: 'border-before.png' });
+
+  // Check computed styles
+  const navbarBorder = await page.evaluate(() => {
+    const navbar = document.querySelector('.mantine-AppShell-navbar');
+    return window.getComputedStyle(navbar!).borderRight;
+  });
+
+  const mainBorder = await page.evaluate(() => {
+    const main = document.querySelector('.mantine-AppShell-main');
+    return window.getComputedStyle(main!).borderLeft;
+  });
+
+  // Only one should have a border
+  const hasDouble = navbarBorder !== 'none' && mainBorder !== 'none';
+  expect(hasDouble).toBe(false);
+});
+```
+
+### Magnitude Test
+```typescript
+import { test } from 'magnitude-test';
+
+test('Desktop sidebar has clean border', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+  await agent.act('Resize window to desktop size (1920x1080)');
+  await agent.check('Sidebar is visible');
+  await agent.check('No double border between sidebar and content');
+  await agent.check('Border is clean and single-width');
+});
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Identify current border setup**
+   - Inspect DesktopNav component
+   - Check AppShell configuration
+   - Check theme.ts
+
+2. **Choose fix approach**
+   - Decide which element keeps the border
+   - Remove border from other element
+
+3. **Implement fix**
+   - Update theme.ts or component styles
+
+4. **Test with Playwright MCP**
+   - Visual inspection
+   - Computed styles check
+
+5. **Add Magnitude test**
+
+6. **Commit and push**
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ Only one border between sidebar and main content
+- ✅ Border is clean and single-width
+- ✅ Consistent across all pages
+- ✅ Works in both light and dark mode
+- ✅ Playwright MCP test passes
+- ✅ Magnitude test passes
+
+## Files to Update
+
+1. `app/theme.ts` - Update AppShell border styles
+2. `tests/playwright/desktop-border.spec.ts` - Manual test
+3. `tests/magnitude/desktop-border.mag.ts` - Magnitude test

+# Plan: Delete Backup/Old Page Files
+
+**Priority:** LOW - Code cleanup
+**Dependencies:** None
+**Affects:** Code maintenance, repository cleanliness
+
+## Overview
+
+Remove all backup and old page.tsx files that are no longer needed. These files clutter the codebase and can cause confusion.
+
+## Files to Delete
+
+Need to search for:
+- `*.backup.*` files
+- `*.old.*` files
+- `*-old.*` files
+- Files with "backup" in the name
+- Commented-out old implementations
+
+## Search Strategy
+
+```bash
+# Find all backup files
+find . -name "*.backup.*" -o -name "*.old.*" -o -name "*-old.*"
+
+# Find files with "backup" in name
+find . -iname "*backup*"
+
+# Check git status for renamed files
+git status | grep -i backup
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Search for backup files**
+   ```bash
+   find app -name "*.backup*" -o -name "*.old*"
+   find components -name "*.backup*" -o -name "*.old*"
+   find lib -name "*.backup*" -o -name "*.old*"
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify files are not imported anywhere**
+   ```bash
+   # For each found file, check if it's imported
+   grep -r "import.*from.*filename" .
+   ```
+
+3. **Delete files**
+   ```bash
+   git rm app/chat/page.tsx.backup
+   # ... repeat for each file
+   ```
+
+4. **Check for commented-out code**
+   - Review recent commits for large commented blocks
+   - Remove if no longer needed
+
+5. **Commit deletion**
+   ```bash
+   git commit -m "chore: Remove backup and old files"
+   git push origin development
+   ```
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ No `.backup` files in codebase
+- ✅ No `.old` files in codebase
+- ✅ No files with "backup" in name
+- ✅ Code still builds successfully
+- ✅ All tests still pass
+
+## Files to Delete
+
+(Will be determined during search step)
+
+Example:
+1. `app/chat/page.tsx.backup`
+2. Any other discovered backup files

+# Plan: Allow AI to Transition to Edit Mode in Chat
+
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+**Dependencies:** None
+**Affects:** User experience, conversation flow
+
+## Overview
+
+Currently, users must manually click "Create Node" to transition from chat to the node editor. We should allow the AI to intelligently suggest and trigger this transition when appropriate during conversation.
+
+## Current Flow
+
+```
+User: "I want to write about quantum computing"
+AI: "That's interesting! Tell me more..."
+[User continues conversation]
+User: *clicks "Create Node" manually*
+→ Editor opens with AI-generated draft
+```
+
+## Proposed Flow
+
+```
+User: "I want to write about quantum computing"
+AI: "That's interesting! Tell me more..."
+[Conversation develops]
+AI: "It sounds like you have a solid idea forming. Would you like me to help you draft a node about this?"
+User: "Yes" / Clicks button
+AI: *automatically transitions to edit mode*
+→ Editor opens with AI-generated draft
+```
+
+## Implementation Approach
+
+### 1. Add Tool Use to AI System Prompt
+
+Update the AI system prompt to include a `createNode` tool:
+
+#### `app/api/chat/route.ts`
+```typescript
+import { tool } from 'ai';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+const tools = {
+  createNode: tool({
+    description: 'Create a thought node when the user has developed a coherent idea worth capturing. Use this when the conversation has explored a topic deeply enough to write about it.',
+    parameters: z.object({
+      reason: z.string().describe('Why you think this conversation is ready to become a node'),
+    }),
+    execute: async ({ reason }) => {
+      return { shouldTransition: true, reason };
+    },
+  }),
+};
+
+export async function POST(request: Request) {
+  const { messages } = await request.json();
+
+  const result = streamText({
+    model: google('gemini-2.0-flash-exp'),
+    messages,
+    system: `You are a thoughtful AI assistant helping users explore and capture their ideas...
+
+When a conversation reaches a natural conclusion or the user has developed a coherent thought, you can suggest creating a node to capture it. Use the createNode tool when:
+- The conversation has explored a specific topic in depth
+- The user has articulated a complete idea or insight
+- There's enough substance for a meaningful blog post
+- The user expresses readiness to capture their thoughts
+
+Be conversational and natural when suggesting this - don't force it if the conversation is still developing.`,
+    tools,
+    maxSteps: 5,
+  });
+
+  return result.toDataStreamResponse();
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Handle Tool Calls in Client
+
+Update the chat interface to handle the createNode tool call:
+
+#### `components/ChatInterface.tsx`
+```typescript
+'use client';
+
+import { useChat } from 'ai/react';
+import { useState } from 'react';
+import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
+
+export function ChatInterface() {
+  const router = useRouter();
+  const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit } = useChat({
+    api: '/api/chat',
+    onToolCall: async ({ toolCall }) => {
+      if (toolCall.toolName === 'createNode') {
+        // Show confirmation UI
+        setShowNodeCreationPrompt(true);
+        setNodeCreationReason(toolCall.args.reason);
+      }
+    },
+  });
+
+  const [showNodeCreationPrompt, setShowNodeCreationPrompt] = useState(false);
+  const [nodeCreationReason, setNodeCreationReason] = useState('');
+
+  const handleAcceptNodeCreation = async () => {
+    // Generate node draft
+    const response = await fetch('/api/generate-node-draft', {
+      method: 'POST',
+      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+      body: JSON.stringify({
+        conversation: messages,
+      }),
+    });
+
+    const { title, body } = await response.json();
+
+    // Transition to edit mode
+    router.push(`/edit?title=${encodeURIComponent(title)}&body=${encodeURIComponent(body)}`);
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <Stack h="100%">
+      {/* Chat messages */}
+
+      {/* Node creation prompt */}
+      {showNodeCreationPrompt && (
+        <Paper p="md" withBorder>
+          <Stack>
+            <Text size="sm" c="dimmed">{nodeCreationReason}</Text>
+            <Group>
+              <Button onClick={handleAcceptNodeCreation}>
+                Create Node
+              </Button>
+              <Button variant="subtle" onClick={() => setShowNodeCreationPrompt(false)}>
+                Continue Conversation
+              </Button>
+            </Group>
+          </Stack>
+        </Paper>
+      )}
+    </Stack>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Alternative: Button-Based Approach (Simpler)
+
+Instead of using tool calls, simply add a button that appears contextually:
+
+```typescript
+export function ChatInterface() {
+  const { messages } = useChat();
+  const [showCreateButton, setShowCreateButton] = useState(false);
+
+  // Show "Create Node" button after 5+ messages
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (messages.length >= 5) {
+      setShowCreateButton(true);
+    }
+  }, [messages.length]);
+
+  return (
+    <Stack>
+      {/* Messages */}
+
+      {showCreateButton && (
+        <Paper p="md" withBorder bg="gray.0">
+          <Group justify="space-between">
+            <Stack gap="xs">
+              <Text fw={500}>Ready to capture this idea?</Text>
+              <Text size="sm" c="dimmed">
+                You've explored this topic well. Would you like to create a node?
+              </Text>
+            </Stack>
+            <Button onClick={handleCreateNode}>
+              Create Node
+            </Button>
+          </Group>
+        </Paper>
+      )}
+    </Stack>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Manual Playwright MCP Test
+
+```typescript
+test('AI suggests creating node after deep conversation', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/chat');
+
+  // Have a conversation
+  await sendMessage(page, 'I want to write about philosophy');
+  await waitForAIResponse(page);
+
+  await sendMessage(page, 'Specifically about existentialism');
+  await waitForAIResponse(page);
+
+  await sendMessage(page, 'And how it relates to modern life');
+  await waitForAIResponse(page);
+
+  // Check if AI suggests creating node
+  await expect(page.getByText(/create a node/i)).toBeVisible({ timeout: 30000 });
+
+  // Click accept
+  await page.click('button:has-text("Create Node")');
+
+  // Should navigate to editor
+  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/edit/);
+  await expect(page.getByRole('textbox', { name: /title/i })).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+### Magnitude Test
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from 'magnitude-test';
+
+test('AI intelligently suggests creating node', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+
+  await agent.act('Have a conversation about quantum computing');
+  await agent.act('Discuss multiple aspects over 5+ messages');
+
+  await agent.check('AI suggests creating a node');
+  await agent.check('Suggestion includes reasoning');
+
+  await agent.act('Click "Create Node" button');
+  await agent.check('Transitions to edit mode');
+  await agent.check('Editor has AI-generated draft');
+});
+
+test('User can decline node creation and continue chatting', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/chat');
+
+  await agent.act('Have a conversation that triggers node suggestion');
+  await agent.check('AI suggests creating a node');
+
+  await agent.act('Click "Continue Conversation"');
+  await agent.check('Suggestion dismisses');
+  await agent.check('Can continue chatting');
+});
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Choose approach**
+   - Tool-based (more intelligent, AI decides)
+   - Button-based (simpler, always available after N messages)
+   - Hybrid (both)
+
+2. **Implement AI tool/prompt**
+   - Add createNode tool definition
+   - Update system prompt
+   - Handle tool calls
+
+3. **Update ChatInterface**
+   - Add suggestion UI
+   - Handle accept/decline
+   - Transition to edit mode
+
+4. **Test with Playwright MCP**
+   - Test suggestion appears
+   - Test accept flow
+   - Test decline flow
+
+5. **Add Magnitude tests**
+
+6. **Commit and push**
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ AI suggests node creation at appropriate times
+- ✅ User can accept and transition to edit mode
+- ✅ User can decline and continue conversation
+- ✅ Transition is smooth and intuitive
+- ✅ Works well in conversation flow
+- ✅ Playwright MCP tests pass
+- ✅ Magnitude tests pass

+# Plan: Analysis - Why Wait for Three Nodes Before UMAP?
+
+**Priority:** LOW - Analysis and potential optimization
+**Dependencies:** None
+**Affects:** User experience for early galaxy usage
+
+## Question
+
+Why do we wait until the user has created 3 nodes before running UMAP to calculate 3D coordinates? Is this an arbitrary choice or is there a technical reason?
+
+## Current Implementation
+
+```typescript
+// app/api/nodes/route.ts (lines 277-305)
+const totalNodes = countResult[0]?.[0]?.total || 0;
+
+if (totalNodes >= 3) {
+  // Trigger UMAP calculation
+  fetch(`${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL}/api/calculate-graph`, {
+    method: 'POST',
+    headers: { 'Cookie': cookieHeader },
+  });
+}
+```
+
+## UMAP Technical Requirements
+
+### Minimum Data Points
+
+UMAP (Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection) is a dimensionality reduction algorithm. Let's investigate its minimum requirements:
+
+1. **Mathematical minimum**: UMAP needs at least `nNeighbors + 1` data points
+   - Our config: `nNeighbors: Math.min(15, nodes.length - 1)`
+   - So technically we need minimum 2 points
+
+2. **Practical minimum**: With 1-2 points, the projection is trivial:
+   - 1 point: Just sits at origin [0, 0, 0]
+   - 2 points: Linear projection on single axis
+   - 3+ points: Meaningful 3D spatial distribution
+
+3. **Meaningful visualization**: For interesting galaxy visualization:
+   - 1 node: Just a single sphere (boring)
+   - 2 nodes: Two spheres in a line (boring)
+   - 3 nodes: Triangle configuration (starting to be interesting)
+   - 4+ nodes: Complex 3D structure (compelling)
+
+## Options to Consider
+
+### Option 1: Keep Current (3-node minimum) ✅ RECOMMENDED
+
+**Pros:**
+- Ensures meaningful visualization
+- UMAP produces better results with more data
+- Avoids wasted computation on trivial cases
+- User has enough content to make galaxy worth exploring
+
+**Cons:**
+- User can't see galaxy until 3rd node
+- Feels like arbitrary limitation
+
+### Option 2: Allow 1+ nodes (Calculate always)
+
+**Pros:**
+- Galaxy available immediately
+- No waiting for 3rd node
+- Simpler logic
+
+**Cons:**
+- 1-2 nodes produce boring visualization (single point, line)
+- Wasted UMAP computation on trivial cases
+- Poor user experience showing "empty" galaxy
+
+### Option 3: Fallback Layout for 1-2 Nodes
+
+**Pros:**
+- Galaxy available immediately
+- 1-2 nodes get simple predetermined positions
+- UMAP kicks in at 3+ for interesting layout
+- Best of both worlds
+
+**Cons:**
+- More complex implementation
+- Potential confusion when layout suddenly changes at 3rd node
+
+```typescript
+function calculateNodePositions(nodes: NodeData[]): NodeData[] {
+  if (nodes.length === 1) {
+    // Single node at origin
+    return [{
+      ...nodes[0],
+      coords_3d: [0, 0, 0],
+    }];
+  }
+
+  if (nodes.length === 2) {
+    // Two nodes on X axis
+    return [
+      { ...nodes[0], coords_3d: [-1, 0, 0] },
+      { ...nodes[1], coords_3d: [1, 0, 0] },
+    ];
+  }
+
+  // 3+ nodes: Use UMAP
+  return runUMAP(nodes);
+}
+```
+
+### Option 4: Show Empty State with Onboarding
+
+**Pros:**
+- Clear communication about galaxy feature
+- Educational for new users
+- No computation wasted
+- Encourages node creation
+
+**Cons:**
+- More UI work
+- Doesn't solve the "when to calculate" question
+
+```typescript
+// app/galaxy/page.tsx
+if (nodes.length === 0) {
+  return <EmptyState message="Create your first node to start your galaxy!" />;
+}
+
+if (nodes.length < 3) {
+  return <PartialState message={`Create ${3 - nodes.length} more nodes to see your galaxy visualization!`} />;
+}
+```
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**Keep the 3-node minimum** for the following reasons:
+
+1. **User Experience**
+   - 1-2 nodes produce boring visualizations that don't showcase the galaxy feature
+   - Better to show compelling visualization from the start
+   - Empty state can explain "create 3 nodes to unlock galaxy"
+
+2. **Technical Quality**
+   - UMAP produces better results with more data points
+   - 3 points is mathematical minimum for interesting 3D distribution
+   - Avoids wasted computation on trivial cases
+
+3. **Product Story**
+   - Forces users to create meaningful content before "unlocking" visualization
+   - Makes galaxy feel like a reward for engagement
+   - Aligns with the product vision of "network of thoughts"
+
+## Potential Enhancements
+
+### 1. Better Onboarding
+```typescript
+// Show progress toward galaxy unlock
+<Progress value={(nodes.length / 3) * 100} label={`${nodes.length}/3 nodes created`} />
+```
+
+### 2. Preview Mode
+```typescript
+// Show static preview of galaxy with 1-2 nodes
+<GalaxyPreview nodes={nodes} message="Create 1 more node to unlock 3D visualization!" />
+```
+
+### 3. Configurable Threshold
+```typescript
+// Allow power users to adjust in settings
+const UMAP_MINIMUM_NODES = userSettings.umapMinimum || 3;
+```
+
+## Implementation (If Changing)
+
+If we decide to implement Option 3 (fallback layout):
+
+1. **Update calculate-graph logic**
+   ```typescript
+   if (nodes.length < 3) {
+     return simpleLayout(nodes);
+   }
+   return umapLayout(nodes);
+   ```
+
+2. **Add simple layout function**
+   ```typescript
+   function simpleLayout(nodes: NodeData[]): NodeData[] {
+     // Predetermined positions for 1-2 nodes
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Update API response**
+   ```typescript
+   return NextResponse.json({
+     nodes_mapped: nodes.length,
+     layout_method: nodes.length < 3 ? 'simple' : 'umap',
+   });
+   ```
+
+## Testing
+
+If implementing changes:
+
+### Playwright MCP Test
+```typescript
+test('Galaxy works with 1-2 nodes', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Create 1 node
+  await createNode(page, 'First Node');
+  await page.goto('/galaxy');
+  await expect(page.locator('canvas')).toBeVisible();
+
+  // Create 2nd node
+  await createNode(page, 'Second Node');
+  await page.goto('/galaxy');
+  await expect(page.locator('canvas')).toBeVisible();
+
+  // Should see 2 nodes
+  const nodeCount = await getNodeCount(page);
+  expect(nodeCount).toBe(2);
+});
+```
+
+### Magnitude Test
+```typescript
+test('User understands galaxy requirement', async (agent) => {
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/galaxy');
+
+  // With 0 nodes
+  await agent.check('Sees message about creating nodes');
+  await agent.check('Message says "3 nodes" or similar');
+
+  // After creating 1 node
+  await agent.act('Create first node');
+  await agent.open('http://localhost:3000/galaxy');
+  await agent.check('Sees progress toward 3 nodes');
+});
+```
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ Clear documentation of why 3-node minimum exists
+- ✅ User understands requirement through UI/messaging
+- ✅ If changed: Works correctly with 1-2 nodes
+- ✅ If changed: Smooth transition to UMAP at 3+ nodes
+- ✅ Tests pass
