BLACK CHAMBER / INTERFACE MOCKUPS

Ten screens, one product

THE INTERFACE

Static HTML. No build step, no framework, no npm install. Open any file in a browser and it works. They exist because the AI concept images in graphics/ found a layout and could not evaluate one: gibberish body text, duplicated rows, five identical timestamps, real national borders where the design wants abstract provinces. The log for that run says plainly that the next version of the Brief is HTML. This is that.

The rule every screen here obeys

THE GAME NEVER LIES. SOURCES DO.

There is no number anywhere in this set that states a fact about another player. Every rival value is a dated, attributed, corroborated-or-not claim, or a band with a confidence and an age, or the words NO ASSESSMENT. If a screen here ever showed a rival's true value, that screen would be the bug the whole game exists to avoid.

Tier 1 the six things the roadmap says must never be cut 4 screens

M1THE DAILY BRIEF Eight reports with discipline, reliability grade, age and corroboration state. A detail panel with the claim in an analyst's hedged prose, its provenance chain, and what verification would cost. One of the eight is a fabrication and nothing on screen distinguishes it. M2THE STRATEGIC MAP 104 procedurally generated provinces, seeded Voronoi with Lloyd relaxation. Four overlays on one keystroke. The Penetration overlay is the money shot: 25 provinces held, 8 assessed, 17 never looked at. M3PROVENANCE RESOLVED A fabrication exposed eight turns late. Who authored it, who laundered it, why your source was not at fault, every order you signed because of it, what it cost, and the exact moment it turned. The whole product thesis on one page. M4THE FILE ON A RIVAL Twenty-six claims on the Consortium of the South, with contradictions sitting side by side unresolved. Punch holes, redaction bars, blue ballpoint in the margin and the A to D reliability key, after graphics/dossier-page.png.

Tier 2 the social and political layer 3 screens

M5THE WIRE Free text between two people, with mechanically enforced clauses attached. Three clauses bind, one binds nothing, and clause 4 has no stated effect, which is not the same as having none. M6THE CONCERT OF VALLETTA A live Tribunal, the evidence with its provenance chain, a public Provenance Analysis returning 31%, the 200 character defence, and a Standing weighted tally where military strength contributes nothing. M7LAUNCH AN OPERATION Op, cover, laundering route, and a live pre-flight showing detection and attribution as two separate bands, because they are two separate rolls. Change the cover and watch both move independently.

Tier 3 texture 3 screens

M8TITLE A wordmark, a thin rule, one sentence, and a plain out of world disclosure that some seats are held by AI Chambers. Restraint is the brand. M9CITY OP Five text and choice beats, ninety seconds, no pause and no undo. Playable end to end. Deliberately not a rendered map: procedural city generation was evaluated and rejected. M10MARKET AND LOAN BOOK Public last clearing price, hidden book, and a loan book that reads like a dossier because a loan application is a disclosure that nobody had to steal.

DOCREADME.md What each screen demonstrates, what is faked, and what building them exposed that the design docs had not noticed. That last section is the actual output of this exercise.

Everything here is a static design artifact. There is no server, no state, no persistence and no engine. The stack decision in docs/20-tech-stack.md (Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, Vite, React, MapLibre) governs the product and deliberately does not govern these files.
