Subject: [PATCH] feat(canvas): strip demo data, EA2 is the only source
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Remove src/data/synthetic.ts + its test (AR refund, HCM onboarding,
  GL close, Service Ops blueprints were hand-modelled fakes).
- Remove DataMode='snapshot'; the store now boots straight into live
  EA2 with no fallback. EA2 errors surface as toasts, not fake data.
- Topbar / Settings / CommandBar wording: 'SNAPSHOT'/'LIVE' becomes
  the unambiguous 'EA2' badge. No more user-facing mode switch.
- package.json name flowmaster-mission-control-demo → flowmaster-canvas.
- README rewritten — no longer calls the product a demo.
- store.test: drop the two tests that relied on synthetic scenarios
  always being present; add one asserting an EA2-empty response leaves
  the store cleanly empty (no error-stuck state).

All 23 vitest tests pass. tsc + vite build green. Bundle dropped
from ~238 kB gz → ~234 kB gz.

+Canvas is the FlowMaster operator surface. Industrial-blueprint doctrine:
+paper canvas, navy frame, amber accent, 1px hairlines, square edges,
+monospace operational density. People, Finance, Procurement, and IT in
+one frame.
 
-## What this is (and isn't)
+## What it is
 
-**Is:**
-
-- A single-page React 19 app (Vite + ReactFlow + cmdk + framer-motion + zustand
-  + dagre).
-- Polished command-center for any FlowMaster process: graph, queue, inspector,
-  tour, command palette, live-mode toggle, run history.
-- Two data modes:
-  - **SNAPSHOT** (default): bundled `src/scenarios.json`, captured from
-    `demo.flow-master.ai`. Fast, offline, deterministic.
-  - **LIVE**: in-browser fetch from the same backend via the API client at
-    `src/lib/api.ts` (dev-login → bearer → `/api/ea2/work-items` →
-    `/api/ea2/process-definitions/{k}/graph` → `/api/runtime/transactions/{id}`).
-    Loading and error states are wired through `src/scenes/MissionControl.tsx`.
-
-**Isn't:**
-
-- Not a replacement for the existing demo at https://demo.flow-master.ai
-  (Next.js fm-shell). This is a separate command-center experience.
-- Not multi-tenant. No auth UI, no tenancy switcher, no settings.
-- Not wired to actually mutate state. Every action button (start runtime,
-  dispatch agent, approve, decline, confirm) is **preview-only** and fires a
-  toast naming the endpoint that would make it real.
-

-
-**Live** = backed by a real EA2 process definition currently in the demo
-backend, with real runtime transactions and a real work-item queue.
-
-**Blueprint** = hand-modelled in the same typed format. Identical UI surface;
-the backend just doesn't have a runnable definition for it yet. Internal
-metadata carries `isSynthetic: true` for provenance audits.
-
-## How honesty is enforced in this code
-
-This pass came out of an Oracle review that called out theatrical bits in the
-prior version. Safeguards now in place:
-
-- **No invented numbers.** `src/components/Telemetry.tsx` derives every value
-  from the active scenarios (`SLA = 1 - errored / cases`, agent acceptance =
-  fraction of agent runs not in `proposed`). The throughput sparkline plots
-  the actual `running` rollup over time, not a sine wave. The "ui tick" dot
-  is labelled as a UI heartbeat and tooltip-named as such.
-- **No fake buttons.** Every preview-only action fires a toast that names the
-  endpoint that would make it real, and carries a `preview` marker.
-- **No misleading tour copy.** Blueprint tours frame the scenario as an
-  industry blueprint, not "we don't have this yet".
-- **Mode is always visible.** Topbar has a `SNAPSHOT`/`LIVE` pill, last-fetch
-  age, and a refresh button when live.
-
-## Live-mode mechanics (the CORS gotcha)
-
-`demo.flow-master.ai` does not advertise CORS headers for arbitrary origins.
-`src/lib/api.ts` therefore uses an **empty `baseUrl` everywhere** (both dev
-and prod). All `/api/*` requests are same-origin from the browser's
-perspective; whatever is serving the page is responsible for proxying them
-to the backend.
-
-- **Dev** (`pnpm dev`): `vite.config.ts` proxies `/api/*` to
-  `${VITE_FM_BASE:-https://demo.flow-master.ai}`.
-- **Prod** (Docker image): the bundled `nginx.conf` reverse-proxies `/api/*`
-  to `https://demo.flow-master.ai`. The image is intended to sit behind the
-  `canvas.flow-master.ai` ingress (see `FM06/flowmaster-ops` overlay).
-- **Anywhere else**: set `VITE_FM_BASE=https://your-backend` at build time
-  and accept that browsers will reject the cross-origin call. Live mode then
-  fails gracefully — `setMode("live")` catches the error, raises an
-  `mc-banner-err` banner + error toast, and falls back to snapshot.
+- React 19 single-page app (Vite + ReactFlow + cmdk + framer-motion +
+  zustand + dagre).
+- Connected directly to EA2 in the browser via the API client at
+  `src/lib/api.ts`. There is one data source: live EA2. No bundled
+  snapshot, no synthetic blueprints.
+- Scenes: Landing, Mission Control, Run History, Process Studio, Hubs,
+  Agent, Settings, Login, SSO callback.
+- Agent scene has a chat surface with per-tenant local memory (`src/lib/agentMemory.ts`)
+  and three intents: navigate, retain a fact, start a process draft.
+- Hubs surface departmental lenses (People, Finance, Procurement, IT).
+- Three view-as personas (CEO, Head of People, Head of IT) re-sign in
+  under the persona's email so the operator UI reflects the seat.

-(merged), which added three resources to `manifests/overlays/demo/`:
+Deployment is tracked in `FM06/flowmaster-ops`, overlay

 - `mc-service.yaml` — ClusterIP service on port 80

 ```bash

 # Then bump the image pin in manifests/overlays/demo/mc-deployment.yaml.
 ```
-
-## What's intentionally not here
-
-- Authentication UI (dev-login is used because this is a demo lane).
-- Mutation endpoints (every action is preview-only and the toast names the
-  endpoint).
-- Mobile layout (1440px-and-up demo surface).
-- Route persistence / deep linking (scene + scenario live in memory).
-- i18n (English only).
-
-Small, well-scoped follow-ups — not architectural changes.
