Ask on the phone, answer on the wall

· Progress

The phone gets a small web app from the studio brain, added to the home screen, with no App Store. Find searches the catalog. In the mockup’s example catalog, “solder” turns up three things in cart drawer C2·3, and Show on wall screen flies the wall screen into that drawer.

A phone screen titled Find with the query solder and three matches in drawer C2·3, each with a Show on wall screen button
The wall screen answering the phone: drawer C2·3.

The same answer could reach the room itself: when a search lands on the IVAR wall, the two shelf spots above it could brighten. The phone’s other tab, Capture, is where cataloging by photo happens. Both are steps toward finding the soldering iron for real.
