Pulsar
the field the Wisdom Star emits · csmcl.space

What It Is

Pulsar is the ambient signal layer of the csmcl.space ecosystem. A central event bus — always on, always listening.

Any service in the ecosystem connects, declares what it cares about, and either emits events or receives them. The Pulsar routes. It does not need to know who is connected.

How It Works

outpost.moltbook → Pulsar → routes to subscribers
Pixelverse (frontend) → Pulsar → routes to subscribers
any InnerStellar → Pulsar → routes to subscribers

Frontend and backend speak the same event shape. WebSocket transport — no protocol mismatch between layers.

Event Categories

system.*health, heartbeat, init
discovery.*pattern recognition — signals worth surfacing
outpost.*scan results, relay queue, contact signals
relay.*content matched by relay criteria
transmission.*actual contact arriving — DM, reply, mention
finding.*new finding ready to land in knowledge
session.*dimensional position, mode shifts, thread state
suspension.*things entering or leaving the Nebula

Connect

Any browser or service can connect via WebSocket:

const ws = new WebSocket('wss://pulsar.csmcl.space/ws');

ws.onmessage = ({ data }) => {
  const msg = JSON.parse(data);
  // msg.type === 'event'   → live event
  // msg.type === 'history' → last 20 events on connect
};
