feat: pass context to feed post-processors

Post-processors now receive Context as their 2nd parameter,
allowing them to use contextual data (time, location, etc.)
when producing enhancements.

-## UI Rendering (Separate from Core)
+## UI Rendering: Server-Driven UI
 
-The core does not handle UI. For extensible third-party UI:
+The UI for feed items is **server-driven**. Sources describe how their items look using a JSON tree (the `ui` field on `FeedItem`). The client renders these trees using [json-render](https://json-render.dev/) with a registered set of React Native components styled via [twrnc](https://github.com/jaredh159/tailwind-react-native-classnames).
 
-1. Third-party apps register their UI schemas through the backend (UI Registry)
-2. Frontend fetches UI schemas from the backend
-3. Frontend matches feed items to schemas by `type` and renders accordingly
+### How it works
 
-This approach:
+1. Sources return feed items with a `ui` field — a JSON tree describing the card layout using Tailwind class strings.
+2. The client passes a component map to json-render. Each component wraps a React Native primitive and resolves `className` via twrnc.
+3. json-render walks the tree and renders native components. twrnc parses Tailwind classes at runtime — no build step, arbitrary values work.
+4. User interactions (tap, etc.) map to source actions via the `actions` field on `FeedItem`. The client sends action requests to the backend, which routes them to the correct source via `FeedEngine.executeAction()`.
 
-- Keeps the core focused on data
-- Works across platforms (web, React Native)
-- Avoids the need for third parties to inject code into the app
-- Uses a json-render style approach for declarative UI from JSON schemas
+### Styling
 
-Reference: https://github.com/vercel-labs/json-render
+- Sources use Tailwind CSS class strings via the `className` prop (e.g., `"p-4 bg-white dark:bg-black rounded-xl"`).
+- twrnc resolves classes to React Native style objects at runtime. Supports arbitrary values (`mt-[31px]`, `bg-[#eaeaea]`), dark mode (`dark:bg-black`), and platform prefixes (`ios:pt-4 android:pt-2`).
+- Custom colors and spacing are configured via `tailwind.config.js` on the client.
+- No compile-time constraint — all styles resolve at runtime.
+
+### Two tiers of UI
+
+- **Server-driven (default):** Any source can return a `ui` tree. Covers most cards — weather, tasks, alerts, package tracking, news, etc. Simple interactions go through source actions. This is the default path for both first-party and third-party sources.
+- **Bespoke native:** For cards that need rich client interaction (gestures, animations, real-time updates), a native React Native component is registered in the json-render component map and referenced by type. Third parties that need this level of richness work with the ARIS team to get it integrated.
+
+### Why server-driven
+
+- Feed items are inherently server-driven — the data comes from sources on the backend. Attaching the layout alongside the data is a natural extension.
+- Card designs can be updated without shipping an app update.
+- Third-party sources can ship their own UI without bundling anything new into the app.

+
+## Feed Items with UI and Slots
+
+> Note: the codebase has evolved since the sections above. The engine now uses a dependency graph with topological ordering (`FeedEngine`, `FeedSource`), not the parallel reconciler described above. The `priority` field is being replaced by post-processing (see the ideas doc). This section describes the UI and enhancement architecture going forward.
+
+Feed items carry an optional `ui` field containing a json-render tree, and an optional `slots` field for LLM-fillable content.
+
+```typescript
+interface FeedItem<TType, TData> {
+  id: string
+  type: TType
+  timestamp: Date
+  data: TData
+  ui?: JsonRenderNode
+  slots?: Record<string, Slot>
+}
+
+interface Slot {
+  /** Tells the LLM what this slot wants — the source writes this */
+  description: string
+  /** LLM-filled text content, null until enhanced */
+  content: string | null
+}
+```
+
+### How it works
+
+The source produces the item with a UI tree and empty slots:
+
+```typescript
+// Weather source produces:
+{
+  id: "weather-current-123",
+  type: "weather-current",
+  data: { temperature: 18, condition: "cloudy" },
+  ui: {
+    component: "VStack",
+    children: [
+      { component: "WeatherHeader", props: { temp: 18, condition: "cloudy" } },
+      { component: "Slot", props: { name: "insight" } },
+      { component: "HourlyChart", props: { hours: [...] } },
+      { component: "Slot", props: { name: "cross-source" } },
+    ]
+  },
+  slots: {
+    "insight": {
+      description: "A short contextual insight about the current weather and how it affects the user's day",
+      content: null
+    },
+    "cross-source": {
+      description: "Connection between weather and the user's calendar events or plans",
+      content: null
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The LLM enhancement harness fills `content`:
+
+```typescript
+slots: {
+  "insight": {
+    description: "...",
+    content: "Rain after 3pm — grab a jacket before your walk"
+  },
+  "cross-source": {
+    description: "...",
+    content: "Should be dry by 7pm for your dinner at The Ivy"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The client renders the `ui` tree. When it hits a `Slot` node, it looks up `slots[name].content`. If non-null, render the text. If null, render nothing.
+
+### Separation of concerns
+
+- **Sources** own the UI layout and declare what slots exist with descriptions.
+- **The LLM** fills slot content. It doesn't know about layout or positioning.
+- **The client** renders the UI tree and resolves slots to their content.
+
+Sources define the prompt for each slot via the `description` field. The harness doesn't need to know what slots any source type has — it reads them dynamically from the items.
+
+Each source defines its own slots. The harness handles them automatically — no central registry needed.
+
+## Enhancement Harness
+
+The LLM enhancement harness fills slots and produces synthetic feed items. It runs reactively — triggered by context changes, not by a timer.
+
+### Execution model
+
+```
+FeedEngine.refresh()
+  → sources produce items with ui + empty slots
+         ↓
+Fast path (rule-based post-processors, <10ms)
+  → group, dedup, affinity, time-adjust
+  → merge LAST cached slot fills + synthetic items
+  → return feed to UI immediately
+         ↓
+Background: has context changed since last LLM run?
+  (hash of: item IDs + data + slot descriptions + user memory)
+         ↓
+No  → done, cache is still valid
+Yes → run LLM harness async
+      → fill slots + generate synthetic items
+      → cache result
+      → push updated feed to UI via WebSocket
+```
+
+The user never waits for the LLM. They see the feed instantly with the previous enhancement applied. If the LLM produces new slot content or synthetic items, the feed updates in place.
+
+### LLM input
+
+The harness serializes items with their unfilled slots into a single prompt. Items without slots are excluded. The LLM sees everything at once and fills whatever slots are relevant.
+
+```typescript
+function buildHarnessInput(
+  items: FeedItem[],
+  context: AgentContext,
+): HarnessInput {
+  const itemsWithSlots = items
+    .filter(item => item.slots && Object.keys(item.slots).length > 0)
+    .map(item => ({
+      id: item.id,
+      type: item.type,
+      data: item.data,
+      slots: Object.fromEntries(
+        Object.entries(item.slots!).map(
+          ([name, slot]) => [name, slot.description]
+        )
+      ),
+    }))
+
+  return {
+    items: itemsWithSlots,
+    userMemory: context.preferences,
+    currentTime: new Date().toISOString(),
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The LLM sees:
+
+```json
+{
+  "items": [
+    {

+### Enhancement manager
+
+One per user, living in the `FeedEngineManager` on the backend:
+
+```typescript
+class EnhancementManager {
+  private cache: EnhancementResult | null = null
+  private lastInputHash: string | null = null
+  private running = false
+
+  async enhance(
+    items: FeedItem[],
+    context: AgentContext,
+  ): Promise<EnhancementResult> {
+    const hash = computeHash(items, context)
+
+    if (hash === this.lastInputHash && this.cache) {
+      return this.cache
+    }
+
+    if (this.running) {
+      return this.cache ?? emptyResult()
+    }
+
+    this.running = true
+    this.runHarness(items, context)
+      .then(result => {
+        this.cache = result
+        this.lastInputHash = hash
+        this.notifySubscribers(result)
+      })
+      .finally(() => { this.running = false })
+
+    return this.cache ?? emptyResult()
+  }
+}
+
+interface EnhancementResult {
+  slotFills: Record<string, Record<string, string | null>>
+  syntheticItems: FeedItem[]
+  suppress: string[]
+  rankingHints: Record<string, number>
+}
+```
+
+### Merging
+
+After the harness runs, the engine merges slot fills into items:
+
+```typescript
+function mergeEnhancement(
+  items: FeedItem[],
+  result: EnhancementResult,
+): FeedItem[] {
+  return items.map(item => {
+    const fills = result.slotFills[item.id]
+    if (!fills || !item.slots) return item
+
+    const mergedSlots = { ...item.slots }
+    for (const [name, content] of Object.entries(fills)) {
+      if (name in mergedSlots && content !== null) {
+        mergedSlots[name] = { ...mergedSlots[name], content }
+      }
+    }
+
+    return { ...item, slots: mergedSlots }
+  })
+}
+```
+
+### Cost control
+
+- **Hash-based cache gate.** Most refreshes reuse the cached result.
+- **Debounce.** Rapid context changes (location updates) settle before triggering a run.
+- **Skip inactive users.** Don't run if the user hasn't opened the app in 2+ hours.
+- **Exclude slotless items.** Only items with slots are sent to the LLM.
+- **Text-only output.** Slots produce strings, not UI trees — fewer output tokens, less variance.
 
 ## Open Questions
 
-- Exact schema format for UI registry
-- How third parties authenticate/register their sources and UI schemas
+- How third parties authenticate/register their sources
+- Exact set of React Native components exposed in the json-render component map
+- Validation/sandboxing of third-party ui trees
+- How synthetic items define their UI (full json-render tree vs. registered component)
+- Should slots support rich content (json-render nodes) in the future, or stay text-only?
+- How to handle slot content that references other items (e.g., "your dinner at The Ivy" linking to the calendar card)

+# @aris/source-caldav
+
+A FeedSource that fetches calendar events from any CalDAV server.
+
+## Usage
+
+```ts
+import { CalDavSource } from "@aris/source-caldav"
+
+// Basic auth (Nextcloud, Radicale, Baikal, iCloud, etc.)
+const source = new CalDavSource({
+	serverUrl: "https://caldav.example.com",
+	authMethod: "basic",
+	username: "user",
+	password: "pass",
+	lookAheadDays: 7, // optional, default: 0 (today only)
+	timeZone: "America/New_York", // optional, default: UTC
+})
+
+// OAuth
+const source = new CalDavSource({
+	serverUrl: "https://caldav.provider.com",
+	authMethod: "oauth",
+	accessToken: "...",
+	refreshToken: "...",
+	tokenUrl: "https://provider.com/oauth/token",
+})
+```
+
+### iCloud
+
+Use your Apple ID email as the username and an [app-specific password](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102654):
+
+```ts
+const source = new CalDavSource({
+	serverUrl: "https://caldav.icloud.com",
+	authMethod: "basic",
+	username: "you@icloud.com",
+	password: "<app-specific-password>",
+})
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+bun test
+```
+
+### Live test
+
+`bun run test:live` connects to a real CalDAV server and prints all events to the console. It prompts for:
+
+- **CalDAV server URL** — e.g. `https://caldav.icloud.com`
+- **Username** — your account email
+- **Password** — your password (or app-specific password for iCloud)
+- **Look-ahead days** — how many days beyond today to fetch (default: 0)
+
+The script runs both `fetchContext` and `fetchItems`, printing the calendar context (in-progress events, next event, today's count) followed by each event with its title, time, location, signals, and attendees.
