What this Mac mini is doing right now
As of 2026-05-30. This is notshot.ai labs — the model-selection harness for the notshot.ai product. The notshot.ai webapp also runs on this box but is a separate concern (different Slack channel: C0B77C0MS49). Public URLs:
• labs: https://labs.notshot.ngrok.dev (this surface) • webapp: https://webapp.notshot.ngrok.dev (Next.js)
Both via reserved-subdomain endpoints on the paid ngrok plan, multi-tunnel from a single agent (ngrok start --all).
What labs is for
Labs is a model-selection harness. For a given product task, labs probes candidate models/vendors/architectures, judges them against the real product bar, and produces a winner with evidence. The winning approach then ports to the webapp.
Today's task: generate the best variants from an uploaded portrait/face. See /docs/goals for status; current probe is at /run/20260529-cb-lora-v1.
After labs proves an approach → it transfers to the webapp (separate concern, separate channel). The labs→webapp port is the existing labs-first.md workflow.

Cross-channel pointers OK; substance stays in the right channel.
