Original request

ok, next task for the overall PyautoScientist work

Selection and scope

First bounded slice of the minimal independent starter. Existing adoption guidance assumes the full organ family and dashboard code fixes Scientist branding/host conventions. No current task claims Scientist or Brain. Dashboard navigation already merged; publication remains its separate follow-up.

Plan

• Add a versioned opt-in instance profile in @PyAutoScientist: display name, canonical Scientist repo ID, explicit HTTPS Pages URL and selected organ connections. Resolve repo identities from the existing Mind repos.yaml, never a second identity map.
• Add an escaped optional display name to @PyAutoBrain's shared hero; unchanged callers retain their existing wordmark.
• Collect only configured organs; an empty list makes no network requests. Omitted organs are not failed/stale. Footer matches connected organs, with explicit Pages locations and existing feed identity validation. Preserve legacy rendering when no profile is supplied.
• Provide an empty synthetic starter example, local render/connect-project instructions and a configurable check-in prompt. No copied personal records, real collaborator assumptions, remote provisioning or automatic activation.
• Verify an independently named empty instance, a renamed connected organ, custom hosting paths, failed versus unconfigured organs, invalid identities/URLs and legacy tests; browser check and independent review before PRs.

Tier: judge — merge mode: human /prm. Routine implementation continues under the ongoing epic authorization.

Detailed plan and branch survey

Add scripts/instance_profile.py and --instance flag to scripts/organism_board.py. The resolved profile is included in snapshots so renderers use the same identity and membership as collection. Projects still consume config/projects.json and canonical --repos. Profile points to its own project config relative to itself, preventing accidental fallback to James's project records. Add examples/starter/{instance.json,projects.json,repos.yaml} as fictitious offline inputs, not a replacement for a complete Mind template. Add STARTER.md with AI-led connect-project instructions and explicit limits. Update README and Brain adoption guidance to point to this bounded preview without claiming a fully supported bootstrap. Brain board/_theme.py hero gains one keyword-only display_name option; tests cover escaping and unchanged defaults. No shared-module mutation or copied theme.

Canonical repos are clean main; old unregistered worktrees remain untouched. Use feature/scientist-instance-profile in .worktrees/scientist-instance-profile for Brain and Scientist. Tests: affected board/theme and Scientist suites, Node/browser checks, strict docs and fresh Heart. Remaining minimal starter bootstrap, optional-organ activation/grey hints and upgrade handling remain separate epic tasks.
