Choco HQ: The Enterprise Surface for STRATT
meridian beginner 3 min read
What this means for you
Choco HQ is the enterprise workspace for teams running AI-mediated deliberations they intend to defend afterwards. It speaks the protocol natively (councils, gates, signed audit tokens) because its readers are engineering managers and staff engineers who will read a unit URI to disambiguate. The same deliberation can be exported as a token an outside counsel or regulator verifies without ever logging in.
The pitch
A council workspace where every gate, override, and adjudication writes to a signed ledger before the UI fires. Three session modes (plenary, chamber, pipeline) for the three shapes of decision. One signed audit token, self-contained public key, third-party verification with no STRATT account required.
Who it’s for
The engineering manager whose AI deliberations have to survive a procurement review or a regulator’s question, and who wants the substrate exposed rather than hidden behind a chat box.
Proof points
- Plenary, chamber, and pipeline session modes shipped under
/sessions; the three deliberation shapes are routes, not modal dialogs - Audit token route
/audit/[token]sits outside the auth boundary by design; the embedded Ed25519 public key means verification needs no STRATT infrastructure - Override justifications shorter than 20 characters throw
OverrideRejectedErrorat the orchestrator boundary, before the UI notification fires - Built on
@stratt/orchestrator,@stratt/fingerprint(Blake3, 14 canonical test vectors), and@stratt/signature; the same substrate the third-party audit-viewer reads
