🤝 Team collaboration: Artifacts × lavish-axi

Synexar framework upgrade · answering Raghu's three questions · 2026-07-04 · DECIDED: Artifacts-only

Your three questions, answered

Q1 — Lavish for engineers, Artifacts for non-tech?

SUPERSEDED — Raghu chose Artifacts-only via this very tray

Original answer: the split is "in an agent session" vs "consuming a link." Raghu's tray feedback overruled the two-tool idea: one tool, one habit for a 5-person team. lavish-axi is shelved as an optional later experiment.

Q2 — Can Claude Artifacts serve ALL of us?

YES — now the standard for everyone

One medium everyone opens with a link: versioned, mobile-ready, interactive, redeploys to the same URL. Engineers AND non-tech view the same board. The tray (this one) supplies the feedback channel.

Q3 — Does Artifacts have wet-ink features?

NO natively — but Synexar boards do

Artifact pages are sealed (CSP): the page cannot transmit annotations. Our tray is the workaround — flag → note → copy → paste. Honest framing: "Artifacts don't have wet ink; Synexar boards do."

Decision matrix (kept for the record)

Capability	Claude Artifacts	lavish-axi (shelved)	Runtime dashboard (/runtime, self-hosted)
Zero-setup sharing (phone/iPad link)	✓ hosted on claude.ai, private-by-default	△ "publish" → third-party host	△ our Azure — exists, needs polish
Wet ink (annotate → agent context)	✓ via our tray (copy-paste hop)	✓ native pipe (the one thing we give up)	✗ (could be built)
Works for non-tech (no terminal, no git)	✓✓	✗ needs a running agent session	✓
PHI allowed	✗ NEVER (external host)	local ✓ / publish ✗	✓ inside our BAA'd Azure
Cost to adopt	zero — live today	~zero — but a second habit to teach	build effort

The architecture, as decided

Everyone · live now

Artifacts + tray = THE surface

All boards ship as live artifacts with this feedback tray. One habit for all five people. PNG retired.

Built into every board

Tray v3 = wet-ink-lite

Flag → typed note → initials → copy blob → paste to chat. Persists in your browser until cleared.

Long-term · when PHI views needed

/runtime dashboard = sovereign home

Self-hosted on our Azure for anything PHI-adjacent. Hosted boards stay synthetic-only forever.

📌 Bottom line (v3): Artifacts-only, decided by Raghu through this board's own feedback tray — the mechanism validated itself on first use. lavish-axi shelved unless an engineer someday finds the copy-paste hop slow. Hard rule everywhere: no PHI on hosted surfaces, ever.
