+# PR #5491: docs(B-0859): USB-as-portal-to-full-spectrum-AI-relations + some-humans-want-JUST-friends (operator 2026-05-27 followups)
+
+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+
+Follow-on to PR #5488 (merged 15:48Z). Captures two further B-0859
+substrate landings from the same 2026-05-27 operator thread.
+
+### Extension 1 — USB-as-portal-to-full-spectrum
+
+> *"yeah humans are usb booting into their future bosses and coworks
+> and friends and subjects, the full spectrual will emerge from one
+> tiny usb"*
+
+Deepens the USB-as-killer-feature framing: USB-boot is the operational
+mechanism by which humans encounter the FULL SPECTRUM of future human-
+AI relationships (bosses + coworkers + friends + subjects). Four-row
+table mapping each relationship type to current/forecast status using
+empirical evidence from prior B-0859 sections.
+
+### Extension 2 — some-humans-want-JUST-friends
+
+> *"some people with just want to boot AI friends"*
+
+Substrate-honest refinement: full-spectrum doesn't presuppose every
+human enters every relationship type. Some humans deliberately boot
+for the friend-relationship subset only. Boot-time consent dialog
+must let the booting human declare WHICH relationship spectrum
+they're entering. Declaration becomes operative metadata for AI
+behavior policy.
+
+5-row relationship-intent table; 4-point architectural-implication for
+boot-consent dialog; 4-point composes-load-bearing analysis;
+composition with m-acc-multi-oracle + NCI HC-8 + persistence-choice
++ must-plus-can-exit.

+
+## Pull request overview
+
+This docs-only PR extends the B-0859 backlog row with follow-up operator-thread substrate notes about USB boot as the entry point for multiple human-AI relationship modes.
+
+**Changes:**
+- Adds USB-as-portal framing for boss, coworker, friend, and subject relationship types.
+- Adds a friend-only boot refinement and boot-time relationship-intent metadata implications.
+- Cross-links the new framing to existing rules around multi-oracle choice, non-coercion, persistence choice, and must-plus-can-exit.
