2 Bloom product
This file is NEO’s Bloom product lane — feature truth, mechanics, scope maps, and what ships.
NEO Product canon is now feature-first.
Why this structure
- Features own truth.
- Versions organize scope.
- Canon is readable by founder, developer, and AI without hopping across release folders.

Dev brief generation
Generate briefs from Features/* canon + relevant Versions/Vn.md scope map. Do not use retired version-first folders as primary truth.
Business model guardrail
The product model and business model must reinforce each other:
- We sell the upgrade, not the user.
- Core social surfaces remain ad-free.
- Attention is not inventory.

Emotion · personality · rhetoric (NEO Product tree)
Emotional core
Canon should feel like relief + clarity + belonging — never shame clocks or anxiety loops. Feature copy and flows inherit NEO’s SEEKING / PLAY / CARE bias; RAGE only as short honest contrast vs exploitative patterns, then hope + control.
Personality
Disciplined host — clear, humane, anti-addiction by design. The product demonstrates ethics (what we refuse to build) as loudly as what we ship.
Rhetoric
- “Powered by friends, not algorithms” (where true in surface).
- “Open one app. Do the next right thing.”
- Reinforce pipeline / anti-fragmentation in onboarding and empty states.
