CREW COMMS ยท SHIP'S LOG + WALKIE-TALKIE
THE BRIDGE. Your personal log above never leaves this device. Below: the crew layer โ ship's log, walkie-talkie comms, ranks. Nobody joins without the Captain's confirmation, and after that, your face is your key.
๐ The Captain enters by face. No typed key in daily life โ a word can leak; a face can't be forwarded. The key below is a one-time bootstrap: used once to register your Face Key, then locked away for good.
๐ One-time bootstrap / recovery โ open only for first setup
๐ GAZE VERIFY. A quick liveness ritual: the camera turns on, an arrow tells you where to look, four looks total.
๐
Starting the cameraโฆ
This is a liveness gaze scan โ it proves a live person performed a random ritual. It is NOT iris recognition and does not identify who you are. The Captain's own eyes make the call.
โณ AWAITING THE CAPTAIN'S CONFIRMATION. Nothing is shared with you yet. This is your BRIDGE BADGE โ the Captain sees the same badge on his manifest, and it proves this request is really yours. Nobody memorizes anything: once he confirms you, your FACE is your key.
โ
Checking every few secondsโฆ
๐ The gaze scan comes later โ once you're in, it's waiting in the Biometric Lab.
๐ STEP 2 ยท FACE KEY โ YOUR FACE IS THE CODE
Register this device once and the typed keys retire. Face ID / fingerprint unlocks the Bridge โ the biometric never leaves your device; the server keeps only a public key.
๐ INVITE TO THE CREW
๐ก THE PUBLIC BEACON โ FREE ADS
Print it, post it, stick it on a board. Anyone who scans it can request to join โ every request still lands on your manifest for confirmation. Scanning is not joining.
๐ธ SIGHT ROSTER โ REGISTERED BY THE CAPTAIN'S EYES
Faces you captured at sight-confirm. These photos live ONLY on this device โ no face database, no templates. Their identity lock is their own Face ID on their own phone; this is your visual receipt.
No sight captures yet.

Broadcast and your crew's phones pulse faster as you get closer โ and yours does the same for them. Only while you broadcast, only with COMMS open, auto-off in 15 minutes.

FACE + FINGER โ AT THE SAME TIME
The live test behind the Apple brief THE SCREEN IS THE SENSOR: your device proves your face/finger with its built-in biometric (passkey), while the camera reads your finger like a sensor. Nothing is stored, nothing leaves the phone โ this is a demonstration, run it as often as you like.
๐ BIOMETRIC: not run yet.
๐ CAMERA FINGER: not run yet.
๐ GAZE VERIFY โ the gaze ritual, on your own time: four looks on camera, recorded against your crew file for the Captain to see. Auxiliary by design โ joining never waits on it.
How: press RUN โ approve the face/fingerprint prompt โ then cover the camera lens completely with a fingertip and hold still. The graph is your pulse, read live from the red channel โ the camera already IS a finger sensor. Honest note: pulse โ yes, tonight. Ridge-pattern fingerprint matching from a camera โ not reliable on today's phones; that is exactly what the Apple brief asks them to build into the touchscreen.
๐ธ SIGHT-CONFIRM
Frame them and tap capture. The Captain's eyes are the enrollment; their own Face ID is their key.

CAPTAIN SETUP
One job before anything else: register your Face ID as the Captain's Key. Everything else in COMMS waits behind this door โ on purpose.
STEP ONE โ TEXT SIZE, FOR YOUR EYES ๐
The Captain reads his ship clearly.
This is the size COMMS will speak in.
Text that answers the distance: take the exam, turn this on, and the words grow as the phone moves away โ anchored to the size your eyes picked.

๐ CREW LOG โ USS COMMS
The captain reads his ship's log at arm's length, in the dark, half asleep. If these words feel easy โ no squint, no strain โ the lens is right. If your eyes work to hold the letters still, the lens is wrong.
