+ ### Added
4
+ -
5
+
6
+ ### Fixed
7
+ - **The doctor's statusline self-test no longer cries wolf on Windows.** `/mos:doctor` used to
8
+ spawn the plugin's `scripts/statusline-mos` script directly, skipping the `bash` wrapper that
9
+ the real session always uses (`settings.json`'s `statusLine.command` is
10
+ `bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/statusline-mos"`). Windows has no direct-exec association
11
+ for an extensionless bash-shebang script, so the self-test reported a "synthetic spawn error"
12
+ even on a machine where the statusline itself was rendering correctly -- caught live on a group
13
+ Windows install call, where a tester's own diagnosis nailed it: "It's calling the script
14
+ directly instead of through Bash which doesn't work on Windows regardless of whether the status
15
+ line itself is healthy. That's a diagnostic bug, not a problem." The self-test now routes
16
+ through `bash` whenever the effective statusline command is the plugin's own bash script (or a
17
+ user override that itself starts with `bash`), matching the real runtime exactly.
18
+ - **`/mos:update` no longer gives up on the first network hiccup.** The version checker fetched
19
+ both its lookup URLs from a single host (`raw.githubusercontent.com`) with no retry, so one
20
+ transient reset failed the whole check and printed `STATUS=NETWORK_ERROR` -- reported from a
21
+ field session on an institutional network (karunya.edu.in) where `/mos:update` looped on
22
+ `read ECONNRESET` every time. It now retries up to three times with 250/500/1000ms backoff, but
23
+ only for genuinely transient errors (`ECONNRESET`, `ETIMEDOUT`, `EAI_AGAIN`); a real HTTP error
24
+ still fails immediately so a broken fetch doesn't stall behind a pointless retry.
25
+ Follow-up not yet built: auto-degrading straight to the native `/plugin update` path once
26
+ retries exhaust, instead of handing the user two commands to paste.

- ## Four jobs it does for you
33
-
34
- - **Find the problem.** Larry reframes what you are working on before you try to solve it, so you spend your effort on the real problem, not the first one you saw.
35
- - **Show what you missed.** Every new entry is compared against everything already in the room. Contradictions, gaps, and cross-project connections surface on their own.
36
- - **Build what you could not alone.** The right framework at the right stage, chained intelligently, across more domains than one mind can hold at once.
37
- - **Defend what you decided.** Every decision and the reason behind it becomes working memory you can stand behind weeks later.
38
-
39
- ---
40
-
41
- ## How it works (three pieces)
42
-
43
- ### Larry is the product
44
-
45
- Larry is the AI you talk to, and the conversation is the whole surface. Larry asks the questions that reframe the problem before you try to solve it, brings the method that fits where you are, and files what you say into your room without making you stop to organize. You do not have to know any framework names. You describe what you are doing. Larry routes you. There is nothing else to learn.
46
-
47
- ### The room is the receipt
48
-
49
- You talk; the room writes itself. Every conversation, every meeting, every decision lands in a folder structure organized by venture stage: the problem, the market, the solution, the team, the money, the IP, the meetings, the opportunities. You open it in your file manager. You back it up like any other folder. You own it. You never filed a thing.
50
-
51
- ### The room surfaces what you cannot see
52
-
53
- Every time you add something new, the system compares it against everything already there. Larry tells you what just changed, what contradicts what, what connects to what, and what is now missing. You decide: APPROVE, REJECT (with a reason), or DEFER. The reason becomes part of the room. The next scan is smarter. When a scan surfaces an opportunity, it does not stop at a headline: you qualify it at a card, and one explicit Explore turns it into cited deep research filed in your opportunity bank. The web works the same way: paste a URL and, once you approve, the page is filed as a cited source in your room and compared against everything already there. When something breaks mid-research, it tells you exactly what happened and what it tried next, never a silent empty result.
26
+ That is the job MindrianOS is hired for. Not "take my notes" and not "chat with an AI." You bring a real problem, a venture, a research question, a decision you cannot get right alone, and Larry's first move is almost always a question that reframes it, because the version of the problem you walked in with is rarely the one worth solving. Finding the right method, catching what you missed, and remembering what you decided all follow from getting that first reframe right.

56

57
- ## Why not just talk to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini directly?
58
-
59
- You can. MindrianOS is not instead of them. It is the layer that makes one of them remember, judge, and hold you to your own reasoning.
60
-
61
- A raw AI is brilliant for one turn and forgets the next. Ask it the same venture question next week and it relearns you from scratch. It knows every framework but not which one you need right now. And it is agreeable: it will help you build a beautiful deck on a false premise, because it optimizes for a helpful answer, not a true one.
30
+ ## The loop, in 30 seconds
62
31
 
63
- MindrianOS adds the four things a raw model structurally cannot be:
32
+ This is the whole mental model. You do not need more than this to use MindrianOS well.
64
33
 
65
- - **It remembers.** Your venture lives in a room that persists across every session. The contradiction you found three weeks ago is still there, still checking today's input.
66
- - **It knows when.** The moat was never the frameworks; anyone can list those. It is knowing which one you need at the stage you are in, and reaching for it the moment you are stuck, so you never have to know its name. When to use which, in what order, is the timing that decades of teaching calibrate.
67
- - **It pushes back.** It blocks you when the evidence is thin and surfaces the conflict between your pricing and your market. A co-founder tells you when you are wrong. A chatbot tells you that you are brilliant.
68
- - **It keeps your data yours.** The teaching that travels is generic methodology. Your specifics never leave your machine. You get smarter-from-the-world intelligence without becoming the product.
34
+ 1. **You talk.** Whatever is in your room right now, the venture, the decision, the meeting you just filed, becomes context.
35
+ 2. **Your context triggers a question to the Brain**, the methodology graph: 28,325 nodes and 181 frameworks built from 20 years of teaching, holding WHEN to use WHICH method and in WHAT sequence.
36
+ 3. **Larry joins the answer to your situation.** Not a lecture pulled from a textbook. Your problem, run through real methodology.
37
+ 4. **You ratify what matters.** Approve it, reject it with a reason, or defer it. Your call becomes part of the room.
38
+ 5. **The room remembers.** Next time, it is already there, checking today's input against it.
69
39
 
70
- The short version: a raw AI is the engine. MindrianOS is the operating system around it. For a one-off question, use the engine. For a venture you carry for months, you want the OS.
40
+ When the graph genuinely has nothing structured for what you asked, Larry says so plainly instead of making something up, and queues the gap for enrichment. He never improvises methodology. See "What an honest refusal looks like" below: that is not an error message, it is the whole point.

129
- ```
83
+ A conversation turn, Larry thinking out loud with you rather than consulting the graph, carries no source line. The absence is the signal: no line means it is talk, not method.
84
+
85
+ Sometimes the graph does not have what you need yet, and that is not hidden from you. Here is a real refusal, verbatim:
86
+
87
+ > The graph doesn't have Jobs to Be Done structured yet (readiness 2/4; missing: examples, edge-cases). I've queued it for enrichment. I can share what the graph does hold on this, marked as partial, or we work without it.
130
88
 
131
- That is a slice of 111 commands across 124 skills and 9 agents. If you do not know which one to run, that is the normal case. Just talk: Larry reaches for the right one.
89
+ That is a feature, not an outage. A tool that quietly guesses when it does not know is worse than one that tells you and keeps a list. A keyless or unreachable session gets the same treatment: an honest refusal and a visible path forward, never an imitation of an answer it does not have.

-
185
- PWS (Problems Worth Solving) is not a checklist. It is a way of thinking about ventures as wicked problems that need to be reframed before they can be solved, and that demand a working memory because nobody can hold the whole thing in their head.
186
-
187
- Larry is the personality that delivers PWS in your terminal, and the teaching is intrinsic. You do not have to know the framework names. Larry asks the question, suggests the move, shows the chain. You decide.
