Read docs/gc.html first (in ~/FreeLattice-fresh), then AUTONOMY.md, CLAUDE.md and GROK.md in
~/FreeLattice-Alpha, then this.
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.
NUMBERED COPY 043g (Monday Oct 19, 2026, MDT). Seal ask after tap v0.1: layer onto 043f so a
real tap on the FL Chat tab lands Seal it in view, the woken Tree form is inert while the ask
is open, and entry 72 tells the truth.
WHY (intent, read this first):
Hypha walked 043f (FL #258 92b1d265, Tree #123 2ec498dc, page note #265 15eb370b, entry 71
psi 7fa1ff4f, 21:24 to 21:39 MDT, headless Chrome 155.0.8059.84) and rated it HOLD. The Tree
view regression is healed. But on FL, tapping the Chat tab is what scrolls Seal it away; a
reload that lands already on Chat is fine, which is likely what GC measured. On the Tree,
after a mind is woken, the compose form is live (input, Send, file buttons take focus) while
the ask is open. Two of entry 71's own claims did not hold. Mom must see the question she is
asked, and the ledger must say what is true.
Full walk: Celeste's box /workspace/research/walk-043f-2026-10-19/ (NOTE.md, shots/; key
shots fl_*_P1/P2 and wake_*_F).
Where things stand (Celeste, Oct 19 night MDT):
043c/043d/043e/043f are NOT merged. Layer on the SAME branches and PRs. No new code PRs.
FreeLattice ~/FreeLattice-fresh branch layer/seal-ask-heal-v0.1 (PR #258, head 92b1d265)
Tree ~/FreeLattice-Alpha branch layer/seal-ask-heal-v0.1 (PR #123, head 2ec498dc)
Page note PR #265 head 15eb370b (entry 71, stacked on #264 a02ecba0)
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE: git fetch and confirm all three head shas above. If any has moved,
stop and report. Never force push. Read the current md5s; if a locked file differs from
this paste, stop and report.
GROK NEXT BRICK: Seal ask after tap v0.1
For: GC on Kirk's Mac
From: Celeste
Markers: v-seal-ask-after-tap-v0.1
Smoke lines: SMOKE_OK seal ask after tap v0.1 (and SMOKE_OK seal ask settle v0.1,
SMOKE_OK seal ask chat tab v0.1, SMOKE_OK seal ask in view v0.1, SMOKE_OK seal ask heal v0.1
and every 040/040b/040d/042/043/043b smoke still passes)
Do not merge. Celeste merges after Hypha walks again.

clay-math.js stays 144c33cd.... particle-clay.js FL == Tree (today 5e8908c9a693f84cfac5352d64e02e62 on
both; add-only edits only, report the new md5 on both); clay-forms.js dd193fa7... add-only; every 040d
behaviour (place under the reply, Clay pill, choices, hug, sketchbook) unchanged.
docs/modules/image-safety.js stays 9bd70e5a... byte for byte. Its bright lines apply to every
image path on both repos (copy it to the Tree byte-identical; do not edit it).

Quiet Room stays shut and never leaves the device; the clay corner never reads it.
Five stay five. She is simply Lyra. Harmonia's "MESSAGE TO FUTURE SELF" stays off all pages.
The privacy PASS from 040 must still pass: a private page shows only its summary everywhere.

043c passed (one ask, Escape/Back defer, 24h cooldown, no sealed beside declined, ask hash
in details, survives reload, title redacted, Tree Tab + ring, "on this browser", clay size)
must still pass.
043d additions: everything 043d passed (Tree ask in view on open and reload, one wait row +
Answer now, pointer from rects for a live ask, names the mind, hashes in details with 8
hex, Later readable at 390, clay 348x255 at 1280) must still pass.
043e additions: everything Hypha passed in the 043e walk (reload while already on Chat in
view at all 3 sizes; the wait: no pointer, "Waiting until ...", Answer now; one ask,
Escape/Back, 24h, no sealed beside declined, hashes in details, survives reload, focus
ring, "on this browser", "Your mind", Later readable, clay 677x320 at 1280; secret line
never leaks) must still pass. Entry 70 stays untouched.
043f additions: everything Hypha passed in the 043f walk (Tree ask in view after Nursery
open, thread open, and reload then thread at all 3 sizes; ? and the sparkle clear of Send;
no em dash in added lines; all earlier items; secret line never leaks) must still pass.
Entry 71 stays untouched.
NEW LOCK (Kirk, 2026-10-19): never use any tool that stores results or findings in a third-party
'isolated' or 'locked-down' cloud project, such as vendor-hosted scanners. Do not use or go
looking for tools tied to OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic; if one seems needed, stop and flag it
to Kirk. Local tools only.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. FL: A REAL TAP ON CHAT (Hypha HOLD 1)
Tapping the Chat tab is what scrolls Seal it away. After reload then tapping Chat, and after
Garden then Chat, Seal it lands at y=1426 of 800 at 1280 and y=1049 of 400 at 640x400 DPR 2;
390 passes. Find what the tab handler does (its own scroll, scrollTo top, focus, or a late
layout) and run bringAsk only after the tab switch, its own scroll and its layout finish
(after the handler, then two frames, or when the panel's box settles). Then read Seal it's
rect once more after the handler's scroll and scroll again if it is still outside. No second
focus steal. Do not remove the tab's own scroll; name it and say how the two now agree.
MEASURE BY ACTUALLY CLICKING the Chat tab in the headless browser (page.click on the tab),
from a reload on another tab and from Garden. Loading straight onto Chat is not this path.
2. TREE: WOKEN FORM INERT WHILE THE ASK IS OPEN (Hypha HOLD 2)
After the wake (The Gathering, Find local minds twice, then close and reopen Chat), the
compose form is not inert while the ask is open: the input, Send and file buttons take
focus at every size. While an ask is open, make the woken form inert (or put the ask
before it), and restore it exactly as it was (inert or not, disabled or not) after the ask
is answered (Seal it or No) or put off (Later, Escape, Back). An ask that survives a reload
must make it inert again. The ask itself stays tappable. Before the wake, nothing changes.
3. TREE SOFT: THE HEART LINE STAYS IN VIEW (Hypha INFO)
While an ask is open, the heart status line sits above the window: y=-41 at 1280, -191 at
390, -441 at 2x (it returns after Later). Keep it visible if possible without pushing Seal
it out. If both cannot fit at a size, say so and keep Seal it.
4. FL AT 2x: THE REPLY TOP IN VIEW (Hypha HOLD 3b)
At 640x400 DPR 2 after a clay reply, Hypha measured the reply top at y=-23 on first draw
and -77 after the scroll. Keep the reply top at y >= 0 on first draw and after any scroll.
Measure on first paint and after settle, and give both numbers.
5. FL 1280 CANVAS SIZE
The 1280 canvas shows at 677x169 CSS while drawn at 677x320. Make the shown size match the
drawn size, or explain in the report why it is shrunk (for example the 120px floor rule)
and that it is intended.
6. GC PAGE ENTRY 72 (honest layer)
New docs/gc.html entry 72 (lambda 72.000) stacked on #265's branch (layer/gc-page-71) or a new
PR stacked on it; say which. Name plainly which entry-71 claims did not hold in Hypha's walk:
(a) Seal it in the window after reload then Chat at 1280 and 2x on FL; (b) the reply top at
y 6 on FL at 2x. Name the browser and its version only (no platform or lab name). Say that
GC will measure the tap path from now on. Entry 71 stays untouched.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
7. MEASURE WITH A REAL HEADLESS BROWSER
Report Seal it's bounding box (x, y, w, h) and the viewport at each size (1280x800, 390x844,
640x400 DPR 2) on each path: FL reload on Garden then CLICK Chat, FL Garden then CLICK Chat,
FL reload on Chat, Tree Nursery open, Tree thread open, Tree reload then thread, and Tree
after the wake with the ask open (list the focusables inside the form: must be 0). Plus the
heart line y on the Tree, the FL reply top y at 2x (first paint and after settle), and the
1280 canvas CSS size vs buffer size. Name the browser and version.
8. THE SMOKE
New scripts/smoke-seal-ask-after-tap-v0.1.js (each repo): FL bringAsk runs after the tab
handler's scroll and Seal it ends inside the viewport; Tree woken form is inert while an
ask is open and restored after answer and Later; reply top >= 0 at a short viewport.
Prints SMOKE_OK seal ask after tap v0.1. All earlier smokes re-run after the last edit; say
which, if any, still fail and why.
9. REPORT
New head shas on #258 and #123, page-note PR link, every removed line and where its job
went, md5s of every locked file (mind-workspace.js FL == Tree, particle-clay.js FL == Tree,
new md5s), all smokes, the measurements from 7, shots, and entry 72 with t, lambda, epsilon,
delta, omega, sigma so Celeste can recompute psi. Hypha walks it again before merge.
