Open the newsroom as a persona

A link that says who you are reading as. The reader can keep the persona or send it away; nothing is charged for arriving.

The links

https://newsroom.sgit.ai/persona/founder/
https://newsroom.sgit.ai/persona/#journalist

Five starting personas: founder (Morgan), journalist (Rowan), security (Sam), builder (Kai), board (Jordan). persona/links.json lists them with their pages, for whoever writes the email. The picker at /persona/ shows all five; an unknown id is said so, and nothing is added.

What happens

The page's meter is in its landing view. It adds the persona as a visitor: active, with its starting reading list and picks, but marked as arrived by a link. The page says who you are reading as and offers Keep (it becomes one of the reader's own) and Remove (it goes, and the others stay). Opening the link twice adds nothing twice. The article A link to a persona is the design, with the vault as the step after it.

Defining the presets

Each preset is an entry in the meter config's personas.presets: id, label, name, theme (a hex colour), blurb, topics (weights by topic) and articles (the starting list, by slug). A persona added to the config gets its page and its row in links.json on the next build. The newsroom's admin/build/personas.py writes persona/index.html, one page per preset, and links.json; its pages carry the meter block with view="landing" and the id in the address.

What a persona does afterwards

It curates: Keep and Not for this persona on any reader card move an article onto or off its lists, and the picks on the newsroom page follow what it kept. A page read is credited to the active persona. A reading list opened from a link is a persona of this kind too, named for the list.
