Resolved conflict in types.ts: dropped the duplicate EntityTraits
definition (D and E both added it identically) and combined both
workstreams' new ServerFrame variants (tell/ritual_complete from D,
judgment_result from E). 223/223 frontend tests pass, tsc clean.
App-shell HUD (mounted in App.tsx alongside HauntingLayer, visible on
every screen) that shows ambient idle status until a séance is active,
then streams `tell` WS frames as terminal-style log lines with a
"hacker witch" crescent-arc evil-meter gauge (occult sigils/runes fused
with Transcript.tsx's monospace log vocabulary).
- lib/evilMeter.ts: pure function computing a malevolent<->benevolent
belief from the accumulated tell history — starts wide/uncertain,
narrows geometrically and shifts per tell (deterministic hash of the
tell text, since tells never leak ground truth), and snaps to
definitive certainty on a successful ritual_complete's
revealed.alignment. Fully unit tested (narrowing, ordering,
determinism, ritual override, idle/empty history).
- lib/ghostLogBus.ts: tiny typed event bus (mirrors lib/haunting.ts's
HauntBus) so the app-shell-level GhostLog can react to live séance
frames — SeanceProvider is only mounted inside the séance route, so a
shell-level sibling can't read its context directly.
- state/seance.tsx: publish entity/tell/ritual_complete onto the bus,
and session_end on provider teardown so the HUD falls back to idle
when the seeker leaves the séance page.
- lib/types.ts: add the `tell` and `ritual_complete` server frames from
the Character Depth spec's Contract section (only what this
workstream consumes).
- components/GhostLog.tsx/.css: the HUD itself, plus i18n keys in
en.json/es.json.
168/168 frontend tests pass (137 pre-existing + 20 evilMeter + 11
GhostLog); tsc -b and the i18n coverage pretest are clean.

Implements the Character Depth / Ghost Log spec's Workstream E:
- RitualPanel.tsx: a 4-step "focus the channel" hold-to-charge sequence
(align/breathe/trace/lock), sending ritual_step frames as the seeker
progresses. Success reveals the entity's true hidden traits; failure
reveals nothing. Sequencing/timing logic lives in the pure, unit-tested
lib/ritual.ts rather than inline in the component.
- JudgmentPanel.tsx: Trust/Banish/Cross Over/Test verdict buttons with
rune-style SVG icons, sending the judgment frame and rendering a
distinct treatment per judgment_result consequence — reward,
escalation (also spikes the ambient haunting), withdrawal, resisted,
neutral, and a calm glyph-fade farewell for crossed_over (deliberately
not the reward treatment, since it's a goodbye).
- lib/haunting.ts: IdleEscalator gains forceEscalate()/forcedUntil so a
judgment's "escalation" consequence can spike the ambient haunting
immediately instead of waiting on the 90s idle clock; exports a
sharedIdleEscalator singleton and a forceEscalate() free function.
HauntingLayer now paces itself off that shared instance instead of a
private one, so the forced spike actually reaches the running layer.
- state/seance.tsx: new ritual/judgmentResult state, a local_ritual_start
action, and reducer cases for the ritual_complete/judgment_result server
frames; SeanceContext exported for component testing; startRitual/
sendRitualStep/sendJudgment added to the provider API.
- lib/types.ts: EntityTraits/JudgmentVerdict/JudgmentConsequence types and
the new client/server WS frames, per the spec's Contract section.
- i18n: seance.ritual.* / seance.judgment.* keys in en.json and es.json.
Fast-forwarded this worktree's branch onto master first — it had been
created from a stale ancestor commit predating the frontend scaffold
entirely, with zero commits of its own ahead of that point.

First sub-project of the "make contact feel real" arc (spec:
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-23-possession-presentation-design.md).
Direct Contact replies now feel like a spirit fighting through static to
hold the channel rather than a plain chat bubble:
- backend/app/possession.py: compute_stability(rarity, magnitude, rng) —
a 0.05-0.98 score per reply (rarer entity + stronger triggering anomaly =
cleaner signal), rng injectable for a later quantum-RNG source.
- ws.py sends stability on reply_start; audio synthesis for that reply gets
noise/bitcrush scaled by instability (1 - stability) via a new
instability param on synthesize_spirit_voice — effects.py itself is
untouched, only the params fed into it.
- frontend/src/lib/possession.ts: renderPossessedText — pure, deterministic
(tick-seeded, no Math.random) text corruption with self-correcting
glitch bursts, wired into Transcript.tsx's streaming reply display.
Stored transcript/reply text is unaffected — this is presentation only.
78/78 backend, 137/137 frontend tests passing.
