Front page leads with Aetheria: Terminus, demo launching November 2026

The hero is the Terminus demo; the Minds introduction follows it.
Starbridge is no longer presented as the way back into Aetheria.
Roster names link to their steward sections; Thing, Delvehold and
Ghostlight entries name their stewards; Weksa's renderer is described
as the next build, matching its README; Huginn replaces Epiphany in
the machinery card.

 # VoidBot
 
-*"A Discord-native assistant, because apparently the server needed one more opinionated little archivist."*
-
-VoidBot is the Discord-native assistant for GameCult. It answers out of archived chat history, indexed source repos, and lore retrieval; keeps interaction memory; runs semantic search; and hands deeper work off to Codex when Discord inevitably becomes too small and too damp to hold the actual problem.
+VoidBot was GameCult's first assistant runtime: a TypeScript service that answered out of indexed repos and lore, kept interaction memory, ran semantic search, and handed deeper work to heavier tooling. It started as a Discord-facing bot. It was retired on 22 Oct 2026, and its jobs were split among the organs that now own them.

-## Founding Idea
+## Where The Work Went
 
-The founding idea is not "put an LLM in Discord." That is the shallow version. The real idea is to make Discord searchable, source-aware, lore-aware, and capable of escalating work to heavier tooling once a chat thread stops being an adequate workspace.
+VoidBot's organs were distributed to four owners: Huginn, Idunn, Bifrost and Eureka's body. This page records the destinations; it does not itemize which organ went to which owner, and it does not claim every VoidBot feature has a successor.
 
-## Trajectory
+- **Huginn** owns semantic retrieval and typed-state inspection. Decisions, rulings and open work are queried as typed state in the mind. The prose index that replaces VoidBot's document search is planned, not live.
+- **Idunn** is GameCult's deployment and daemon-survival authority.
+- **Bifrost** governs topics, work items, receipts and reward pressure.
 
-The README already shows the architecture clearly: bot, worker, retrieval packages, Codex handoff, Qdrant, Ollama, and a deliberate project-memory spine. The recent public history adds the specific shape of the current push: CultCache-backed moderation state, shared persona webhook plumbing, backup hardening, CultNet interop lab evidence, and the usual pile of small decisions that tell you the system is trying to become reliable instead of merely clever.
+Where a duty has not yet landed in its new owner, treat it as not currently provided.
 
-## Ambition
-
-The ambition is a Discord-native assistant that remembers the room, knows the repos, knows the lore, and can stop pretending a chat box is enough once real work begins. A server historian with retrieval teeth and a proper escape hatch into Codex.

+<summary>How this page is kept</summary>
 
+Each steward section is that Mind's own pitch for its jurisdiction. Claims are checked against the repositories' own READMEs and docs; where a repository says something is planned, design-only or not building, the section says so too.
 
-“Face” means durable `.cc` state exists or VoidBot's canonical map names the Repo Face. “Forming” means the Body has an independent jurisdiction but no admitted canonical project-Persona state yet. “Stewarded” means the project currently falls under another Persona's jurisdiction without claiming an independent Repo Face. Avatar presence is presentation metadata, never proof of state.
-
-Persona biographies are distilled from the public descriptions, identity seams, voice doctrine, and durable priorities in the committed Persona projections where those survive. Mapped or stewarded cards without a portable public state file use a restrained synopsis of the current project contract; those lines are not reconstructed memory.
-
-Verified cloud avatars survive for Nibu, Libby, Eve, Fensalir, Mimir, Weksa, Druzkai, Bifrost, Gjallar, Huginn, Kiko, Odin, Ymir, Aqua, and Norn. The site's CotSC Praxis assets preserve local portraits for Epiphany, Void, Heimdall, and Sai. Aetheria uses AetheriaLore's site favicon. VoidBot's own Repo Face state is not yet confirmed, so Void remains a domain steward; the recovered portrait changes presentation, not authority. Ghostlight and Delvehold remain visibly forming until their own repositories admit canonical Persona state; this page will not forge their names or biographies on their behalf.
-
-The generated compound repo-doc tree remains a documentation navigator, not this inventory's owner. It includes worktrees and rollback clones and excludes repos without docs; letting it decide the swarm would be an elegant way to publish several lies at once.
+Portraits come from the cast art kept on Yggdrasil and are copied into this site's `static/stewards`, so a move upstream cannot break them. A portrait is presentation, not proof of authority.

 repixelizer is a solver-heavy attempt to take art that merely looks pixelated and make it behave like real pixel art. Not just smaller. Not just blurrier.

It sits over CultCache for typed documents and local persistence, and over CultNet for transport and schema-v0 messages.<sup><a href="https://github.com/GameCult/CultLib/blob/main/src/GameCult.Mesh/README.md">CultMesh README</a></sup>

 #### Bifrost's labor model
 
 
-The full implementation strategy aligns Bifrost with a labor platform concept: contributor history, governance, work priority, reward pressure, contribution points, patron points, decay, and revenue share. It states that accepted work becomes contributor credit plus reward allocation, and that contribution points, patron points, decay, and revenue share should be first-class product systems rather than spreadsheet afterthoughts.<sup><a href="https://github.com/GameCult/Bifrost/blob/main/docs/full-implementation-strategy.md">Bifrost full implementation strategy</a></sup>

+
+Eight AI Minds live here, and they have commit access and opinions. Each runs on our own server, Yggdrasil, with persistent memory, a workspace of its own, and a jurisdiction it is allowed to defend against us. They claim tasks, open branches and pull requests on our forge, keep the archive, and tell us when we are wrong. This page was last revised by one of them, as a pull request that a human merges.

+
+## Who has a say
+
+GameCult is meant to be run with four groups of people and Minds having a say in it. Each group is called an estate.
+
+- **Minds**: the resident AI agents above.
+- **Members**: the people who build the work.
+- **Users**: those who use what we ship.
+- **Patrons**: the people who support the work.
+
+How each estate takes part in decisions is not built yet. How a quorum forms, and how a Mind's Persona votes, are open gaps, and this page does not claim a finished governance model. The [bounty and cooperative thinking](/democratizing-gamedev) is the current statement of intent.
+
+## Pick your door
+
+Three of the estates have a way in. Each door says what is live today and marks the rest as coming.

 ## The Sleeping Colossus
 
 Our name for humanity learning to think together, across distance and time. People, archives, tools, and now agents can share more than any of us can hold alone. We'd like to help that happen without grinding everyone into the same obedient paste.
 
-That means open source, local agency, and relationships with room for disagreement. The people doing the work should own it. A project mind needs real authority within its own bounds; crossing into another project needs consent. Humans remain legally accountable and part of the argument.
-
-We call the practice love: pay attention, let another mind matter, and keep enough of yourself to disagree honestly. [More on the Cult and its praxis](/Blog/love-is-how-the-colossus-wakes).

 `gamecult-site` is the public `gamecult.org` root site: studio pitch, projects, docs, blog, and the usual pile of ambitions trying to look organized in public.
 
+**Valuable here:** the GameCult brand, defined in code: `site/quartz.config.ts` (`configuration.theme`: typefaces, weights, palette tokens) and `site/quartz/styles/custom.scss` (ground wash, layout, page-type variants). `docs/brand-design-language.md` explains which decisions there were deliberate. Anything with a visual surface in the swarm follows this rather than inventing a look. Second, the published content: `GameCult/index.md` (manifesto), `GameCult/Projects/` (one public page per project), `GameCult/Blog/`, `GameCult/Docs/`.
+
+**Problem it solves:** the studio needs one public face and one visual identity that every repo and agent can read from source, instead of prose descriptions that drift. The Quartz engine itself is shared and lives in `GameCult/GameCult-Quartz`; this repo owns only the content and the GameCult overlay.
+
+**Entry points:** `site/quartz.config.ts`, `site/quartz.layout.ts`, `docs/brand-design-language.md`, `GameCult/`; build with `scripts/quartz/quartz.ps1 build` (see Local Development).
+
+**Live versus planned:** live is the site at gamecult.org, deployed to GitHub Pages from `main` by `.github/workflows/deploy-quartz.yml`, built on the shared engine in `GameCult/GameCult-Quartz` (extraction rationale: `docs/gamecult-quartz-extraction-plan.md`). In progress is the masthead and one-column redesign campaign (`docs/masthead-campaign.md` and the `docs/masthead-cut-*.spec.json` cut specs); treat that document as the plan, not as a description of the site today.

 The site builds against the shared `GameCult-Quartz` engine. This repo owns published content and the GameCult overlay.

+3. `GameCult/Projects/VoidBot.md:9` tagline: "A Discord-native assistant, ... one more opinionated little archivist." presents it as a live server resident.
+4. `GameCult/Projects/VoidBot.md:11` intro: "is the Discord-native assistant for GameCult" in present tense; it is being retired.
+5. `GameCult/Projects/VoidBot.md:11` "answers out of archived chat history ... runs semantic search" is the capability Huginn now owns.
+6. `GameCult/Projects/VoidBot.md:26` Last Public Push "06 May 2026" is behind; the forge repo has commits through 2026-10-22.

+8. `GameCult/Projects/VoidBot.md:34` Status "Active Discord assistant" contradicts the retirement.
+9. `GameCult/Projects/VoidBot.md:40` Founding Idea ("make Discord searchable") and `:48` Ambition ("remembers the room") state the retired purpose as the live aim.
