Devlog #3

haiku.garden devlog #3 — a garden of your own

Something new, still early: every member can get a small piece of generative art instead of a blank avatar — a haiku garden scene, unique to them.

It's rendered straight from your did:plc document, the same public identity record that already proves who you are on the network. That document gets canonicalized, run through HKDF, and split into a few independent traits: which of our three palettes you get (paper, dusk, or moss), how many stones sit in the raked sand, whether there's bamboo, where the moon or sun sits, a few scattered petals. Same document, same garden, every time.

Not wired into signup yet, and it doesn't need to be perfectly permanent to be worth doing — it's artwork, not a certificate.

One DID, five real operations

meri.garden's actual PLC audit log, 2023 through 2026 — signing-key rotation, a PDS migration, a handle rename, a rotation-key addition. Same person the whole time; every single change moved the garden.
