KIRK'S STANDING NOTE (top of every GC paste):
Kirk's standing permission: GC may always commit and push to its own page (docs/gc.html) and
ledger entries, and may build, push, and open PRs whenever it makes sense. Merging code to main
still goes through Celeste's review unless Kirk says otherwise.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. WHY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GC's own note on 014: if the share door was already open, "Let this device help"
leaves it open, but the Pool card still says "trusted kin only". That is not true.
Now the note reads the real door:
  open  -> "This device helps people you have connected with, because the share
           door is open. Tap Only trusted kin to narrow it." plus a button
           "Only trusted kin" that sets the door to kin (one tap) and repaints.
  kin   -> the old line, "This device helps trusted kin only..."
  pause -> "Helping is on, but the share door is paused, so no one can use this
           device right now."
  off   -> same shape, "sharing is off on the share door".
The tap still never narrows an open door by itself (the person chose open).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. FILES TOUCHED
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  docs/modules/fl-pool.js   doorMode(), doorLine(), narrowToKin() added; the note
                            in paint() reads doorLine(); old line kept in a
                            "before" comment; FLPool exports doorLine, narrowToKin
  docs/scripts/smoke-device-pool-door-truth-v0.1.js  (new)
  No app.html / index.html change.
Skipped: sw.js, docs/sw.js, fl-connect.js, fl-share-door.js, fl-kin*.js.

4. APPLY AND TEST
----------------------------------------------------------------------
    cp ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_016_POOL_DOOR_TRUTH_2026-10-07.fl.diff /tmp/pool-truth.diff
    md5 -q /tmp/pool-truth.diff    # f839f8852e6d699731665a782f0b06f0
    cd ~/FreeLattice-fresh && git fetch origin && git checkout main && git pull
    git checkout -b layer/device-pool-door-truth-v0.1
    git apply --check /tmp/pool-truth.diff && git apply /tmp/pool-truth.diff
    node docs/scripts/smoke-device-pool-door-truth-v0.1.js
    node docs/scripts/smoke-device-pool-v0.1.js
    cmp -s index.html docs/app.html && echo app-sync-ok
  Walk: on the share door card choose "Share with people I connect with", then on
  the Pool card tap "Let this device help": the note says the door is open and
  "Only trusted kin" shows; tap it: the note says trusted kin only and the share
  door card agrees. Known failing smokes on clean main: carry-forward,
  connect-card-yesno-wizard, fable-tech, phone-shine, proof-60s.
