body:

Thinkloom is a native writing studio built for one writer. It supports a path
from conversation and idea curation through drafting, revision, named versions,
and release, while keeping the creative process inspectable.

The application combines a Tauri 2 desktop shell with React and TypeScript,
Rust services, SQLite state, canonical Markdown and JSON files, hidden Git
checkpoints, operating-system credential storage, and atomic exports. It has no
hosted or browser companion: the product boundary is deliberately local-first.

The work began during OpenAI Build Week 2026. Product decisions emphasized
preview-first model assistance, explicit user control, reversible operations,
and provenance that records relationships without reducing authorship to a
single percentage.

Current development includes structured manuscript editing, configurable model
providers and prompts, recovery snapshots, versioned releases, sanitized
evidence exports, and a formal provenance schema package. The normative
provenance design is documented; completing the native implementation and its
fault-injection conformance remains future work.
