## Turn (verbatim) > bead-mount the best bead that deals with STAC-manager along with uxui-senior-designer and senior-architect. > have the UXUI-senior-designer critique https://santafe.live/STAC-manager.html > using .git lets make the next generatrion. and deploy the reference version at redfish.acequia.io/guerin/apps and then update the one at santafe.live later > this really needs to be a fun interface for seeing our different "asset catalogs". we really need to sketch interface possibilities. this will also relate to managing a users "storage" locations. you can reference how we gave a user a very basic ability to specify this in bead egp-mission bookmarklet. > storage can be under a domain/uri which or file system. domain uri can be handled by acequia.js and acequia-sw.js to send it to OPFS and then named cache for later cache syncing. ### Assistant actions (summary) - Inventory (Explore): best STAC-manager bead = `90f902e0` (catalog). Personas exist as beads: `f80f1929` geospatial-ux-ui (UX senior-designer) + `b2d9f6e1` senior-architect. App = `santafe.live/STAC-manager.html` + `lib/*` (NOT in git). Deploy target `redfish.acequia.io/guerin/apps/` exists. `acequia.js` exists (3 variants); `acequia-sw.js` does NOT. - Opened this bead, mounted the three beads. - UX role (subagent, sketch-ux method): critique of the current app + 4 rough sketches (Catalog Shelf / map-first layers / timeline-first / three-pane compare) + storage-locations UX → note 00. Core fork: catalog-first vs item-on-shared-surface. - Architect role (subagent): StorageLocation abstraction + acequia.js/acequia-sw.js → OPFS → named-Cache data flow, driver interface, SW responsibilities, credential placement, 5 open Qs → note 01. - Built v0 reference app (Catalog Shelf home + first-class storage locations + map/timeline drill-in), git-initialized, deployed to `redfish.acequia.io/guerin/apps/stac-manager/`, seeded with the live LA-fire catalogs + santafe dev-STAC.
