Little Al Network • LANC Client

LAN Corridor Terminal Chat Client

LANC is the terminal-first corridor client for the Little Al Network. It is intended to give users a practical text-first client for corridor access, onboarding, communication, support flow, and future user-controlled update delivery.

What LANC is

LANC is the user-facing terminal chat client for the LAN Corridor. It is designed to remain lightweight, understandable, and usable from a normal Linux terminal. The stable build is intended for everyday users. The development build is intended for open testing, behaviour validation, and user-led feature shaping.

Development installer explainer

The stable build is for ordinary users who want to install and use the corridor client. The development build is intended for open testing and user-led iteration. It gives builders and testers a way to trial changes, validate install logic, and shape how LANC evolves in real use.

Development build usage:

lanc-dev

Open user development use case

lanc-dev is intended for open user development. It gives users a practical way to test corridor behaviour, validate UI flow, observe development changes safely, and contribute to shaping the client without replacing the normal stable user install path.

Support flow

The Little Al Network aims to point users toward practical tooling, corridor participation, and user-controlled software paths. The LANC client is part of that support layer.
