Command Intent Field

let command palettes settle around likely intent

Running the actual pattern live via applyPattern() — switch the substrate, stack overlays, watch the signals, or reverse the dynamics. Not a mock.

"Command Intent Field" — let command palettes settle around likely intent. It has a gravity layer (universal attraction toward mass), a charge layer (attract/repel charged matter), a memory layer (a decaying trail / hysteresis), a cohesion layer (flocking — pull toward neighbours), and a repel layer (carve a void / keep-clear region). The active render stack is dots, metaballs, particles.

Likely commands sink into a gravity well while dangerous ones repel — electromagnetic charge clusters the related, gravity decides what rises to the top.

Metrics: intent a semantic lane — drive it with data-field-<metric> (or a domain model); without that its --field-<metric> stays inertconfidence written only when the host supplies it — the engine never invents confidence/riskmemory computed every frame by the platform (proximity · engagement · relationships · age)risk written only when the host supplies it — the engine never invents confidence/risk intent is a host-supplied lane — drive it with data-field-<metric> (or a domain model); without that, its --field-* stays inert.
Diagnostics: potential causality topology
Conditions: focused
Render: dots · metaballs · particles
Reduced motion: ranked command groups with risk labels and recency indicators
Without motion: commands appear as a ranked list with risk labels and recency badges, no settling animation required
