Status
The single page that answers "what exists, what does not, and what is next". Every other document must agree with this one.

What exists
| Piece | State | Where | Verified by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deterministic engine | Built | sim/engine.ts | npm run replay -- --seed 20261013 --ticks 340 --check → IDENTICAL |
| Hash chain over every tick | Built (SHA-256) | sim/hash.ts | tests/sim.test.ts cross-checks SHA-256 against node:crypto |
| Pinned goldens | Built | tests/goldens.json | npm test replays them and fails on any drift |
| Replay CLI | Built | scripts/replay.ts | npm run replay -- … |
| CI | Built | .github/workflows/ci.yml | typecheck + tests + golden replay on every push |
| Public repository and deployed site | Live — the repository is public and the site runs on one server, one Node process | github.com/wormsim/worm, https://wormsim.xyz | open them |
| Boundary enforcement | Built | tests/boundary.test.ts | npm test fails if any tracked file gains network, subprocess or environment access |
| Pitch page | Built, states the simulation-only status | pitch/index.html | open it |
| Homepage dish (worms) and per-worm pages | Built — one page per agent of the pinned run, with a diary generated from sealed events | app/page.tsx, app/worm/[id], app/lib/wormbook.ts | open /worm/30; every diary line carries its tick's record hash |
| Daily dish | Built — one seed per UTC day from day 0 (2026-10-13) | app/lib/daily.ts | npm test (anchors suite) |
| Daily anchor writer and verifier | Built, not used — a zero-value memo transaction on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663); no anchor wallet exists yet, so nothing has been written | scripts/anchor.ts, scripts/verify-anchor.ts, anchors/ | npm run anchor -- --day <closed day> prints the exact memo; npm run verify:anchors |
| Red vs Blue rules | Built — settling, notes inherited at birth, honeypot / quarantine / alert (92/74) / harden, R per day, sealed moves, seed from all commitments, chained ticks | sim/war.ts, sim/warbots.ts | npm test (war suite) |
| Live season (server) | Built and deployed, no day played by a player yet — wallet-signed commits (EIP-191), reveals checked against the seal, the seed drawn from the first Robinhood Chain block after 18:00 UTC by binary search, days published in the form the browser replays | app/lib/live/, app/api/live/ | npm test (live suite, real signatures, simulated chain); the deployed ledger's day-1 draw |
| Red vs Blue prototype | Built, single-player — you against 40 rule-following bots, entirely in the browser; every day re-runs to the same head | app/play, app/components/play | open /play, press RE-RUN |
| Outbreak (real-time roguelite) | Built — both sides, 7 days + boss + endless, 32-card draft, house AI that escalates and drafts, badges, daily seed; any run replays from its input record to the same heads | sim/outbreak.ts, sim/outbreak-cards.ts, app/components/outbreak/, docs/OUTBREAK.md | npm test (outbreak suite); press RE-RUN at the end of a run |
| Outbreak daily board | Built and deployed, no entries yet — the server replays every submitted run and ranks by the replay; one Merkle root per day over both sides, a proof per entry; optional wallet signature; anyone can watch any run | app/lib/board/, app/api/runs/, scripts/verify-run.ts, scripts/anchor-board.ts | npm test (board suite: forged runs refused, proofs verify, signatures bind) |
| Forecast study | Built — 1,560 simulated weeks (5 defences × 13 capability years × 24 dishes); setup-failure rule reproduces the paper's 45% → 61–84% curve; all numbers regenerate bit for bit | app/lib/forecast.ts, scripts/forecast.ts, /forecast | npm test (forecast suite re-runs two cells) |
| One-step live moves (timelock) | Built and deployed — the move is time-locked to the first drand round after 18:00 UTC and the server reveals it; manual reveal stays as a fallback | app/lib/live/timelock.ts, app/lib/live/drand.ts | npm test (timelock suite, offline with our own BLS beacon) |
| Reveal backup code and reminders | Built — a WORM1- code carrying move, salt and its own seal check; paste it to reveal from any device; an .ics file with every remaining window | app/lib/live/backup.ts | npm test (backup suite) |
| Season standings and player pages | Built — ranked in the browser from the replayed season, nothing stored server-side | app/lib/standings.ts, app/player/[address] | npm test (standings suite) |
| 60-second tutorial | Built — five animated cards, opens once on first visit to /play | app/components/play/Tutorial.tsx | open /play in a fresh browser |
| Essay, FAQ, terms, privacy | Built — rendered from docs/ | /essay, /faq, /terms, /privacy | open them |
| Daily post | Built, not used — post text built from the replayed day; posts with X API v2 when the four X_* keys are set | scripts/post-daily.ts, app/lib/dailypost.ts | npm run post:daily prints it; npm test checks the OAuth signer against the published example |
| Launch facts | Single source, all undecided — rendered as "to be announced" | config/launch.json, app/lib/launch.ts | read the file |
What does not exist
Stated so that no reader has to infer it, and so no future commit can quietly imply otherwise:
- No custody, no payment. Wallets only sign a readable message that seals a move; the signature moves no funds and approves nothing. There is no x402 endpoint, no USDC, and no money moves anywhere in the dish.
- No token, no sale, no airdrop, no date. Nothing is on offer, and no allocation has been decided because nothing has been issued.
- No live season day has been played by a player yet. The server is deployed and day 1's draw came from a real Robinhood Chain block, but the season ledger holds no commits: nothing has been sealed and nothing has been revealed by anyone but the bots.
- No anchor on chain yet. The writer is built and tested; there is no anchor wallet, so
anchors/anchors.jsonis empty. - No payments. The x402 menu on the site is a list of what will open after launch; nothing can take a payment.
- No real agents. An agent is a value in an array inside one process. It cannot act, spend, or reach anything.
- No independent review yet. Everything here was written and verified by the same author.
What a daily commitment would look like
Built, not yet used: each closed UTC day's chain head goes on Robinhood Chain as a memo, so the record cannot be edited afterwards — the same pattern the fly project uses, with its own verifier and its own public list. The writer is scripts/anchor.ts, the manifest is anchors/anchors.json, and it is still empty because no anchor wallet has been funded. It is described in DESIGN.md §5.
How to keep this page true
1. Change the rules in sim/engine.ts, not in prose. 2. If a claim here cannot be reproduced by a command in this repository, delete the claim. 3. Every change gets a line in AUDIT-LOG.md with its commit and its verification.
