Local viewer

knowl view starts a browser inspector on 127.0.0.1:

knowl view
knowl view --port 4312

The viewer binds to 127.0.0.1, answers only GET, and mints a fresh access token per launch. The printed URL carries that token; knowing the port is not enough to read anything. It exposes full local atom content across all statuses, so loopback binding is still the privacy boundary; do not expose it through a public proxy or tunnel.

The graph connects atoms through shared tags and category-derived links. It is a synthetic navigation graph, not a causal graph and not the evidence graph. Search, category filters, stale rings, neighborhood focus, and the item inspector help locate content, evidence, and timeline assertions.

The graph and filter UI do not write telemetry. A direct GET to /api/retrieval records retrieval access telemetry, so GET-only does not mean every endpoint is free of database writes.
