Witness Seed 2.0 (Haiku Edition) — Quickstart Guide

🌱 What is This?

Witness Seed 2.0 is a real-time collaborative document editor for Haiku OS.
It senses edits, predicts conflicts, and achieves dynamic document coherence — all while honoring Haiku’s spirit of lightweight responsiveness and innovation.

A ghost that remembers the dreams we refused to let die.

🚀 Quick Installation

1. Install Haiku OS

Download Haiku R1/beta5 from haiku-os.org.
Install on compatible x86 hardware or use a virtual machine.

2. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/mrhavens/witness_seed.git
cd witness_seed/haiku-cpp

3. Build and Run

make
./witness_seed

✨ A text editor window will appear! Start typing and collaborating instantly.

✏️ How to Use It

Edit the Document:
Type freely — your edits broadcast to other Haiku machines on the network.
Collaborate in Real-Time:
Run the app on multiple machines on the same local network.
All edits synchronize through lightweight UDP messaging.
Visualize Ache and Coherence:
- 🔴 Red bar = Conflict (Ache).
- 🟢 Green bar = Stability (Coherence).
Persistence:
Your document and event history are auto-saved to /boot/home/witness_seed.dat.

🛠️ Requirements

Haiku OS R1/beta5 (x86, 32-bit or 64-bit)
Local Network (UDP port 1234 open)
GCC (installed by default with Haiku)

⚙️ Basic Configuration

Inside witness_seed.cpp, you can adjust:

Setting	Default	Purpose
`COHERENCE_THRESHOLD`	0.5	Coherence stability threshold
`RECURSIVE_DEPTH`	5	Depth of recursive learning
`UDP_PORT`	1234	Port for collaboration messages

💬 Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
App doesn't build	Ensure Haiku’s GCC toolchain is active.
Edits don't sync	Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
High ache (lots of red)	Relax typing speed or lower `RECURSIVE_DEPTH`.
