5. (e) MEMORY FILE: one tap save / export / import under Market
In the Market panel, a row "Memory file" with three 44px buttons: Save, Export, Import.
Format: 040b HAS merged. Reuse it, do not invent a new one: LatticeExport.exportArchive /
importArchive with the "workspace" section built by FLWorkspace exportSection() and read by
importSection() (verify-only / merge / adopt, add by hash, private pages refused). The memory
file is that same archive JSON. Wrap, do not fork: no second format, no copy of the code.
What goes in: the running chat's history and the notebooks of the minds now running, each
with its fingerprint (mindFp) and the device signature. Private pages never go in (040b
rule). Quiet Room never goes in.
First Save: the person picks a file on their laptop. Where the File System Access API exists
(showSaveFilePicker), keep the handle in IndexedDB and ask permission again with
requestPermission when needed. Elsewhere, fall back to a download of
freelattice-memory.json (and say plainly that the browser will ask where to put it each time).
After that: one tap Save writes to the same file again. Show "Saved to <file name>, <time>".
Export always offers a fresh copy (download), never touching the chosen file.
Import: pick a file (showOpenFilePicker or an input type=file fallback). Verify the signature
and every fingerprint before anything changes. Then the 040b merge rule: add by hash, never
overwrite, never delete. A fingerprint that does not match shows "This memory belongs to a
different mind (abcd ef01...). Not imported." and nothing changes.
Honest line, exact words, under the row: "Saved on your computer, in the file you chose. Not
encrypted. Private pages stay on this device."
Nothing is sent anywhere. No network in this path.
Smoke: SMOKE_OK memory file v0.1 (save with a mocked handle writes twice to the same handle;
fallback produces a download; export never touches the handle; import verifies, merges by
hash, refuses a wrong fingerprint with no change; private pages absent from the file).
6. (f) CHAT POLISH: quieter and more professional
Consistent spacing: one vertical rhythm (8px steps) between messages, pills and the input.
The status line is quieter: one line, smaller, muted color, no stacked repeats.
The stray dots seen in Kirk's screenshot (loose bullets / separators near the band) move into
the band or the status line, or become the pill's pause dot. Nothing is removed; if a dot
carried meaning, name where that meaning now lives.
The existing Export, Import and Verify buttons on the Portable Archive (docs/audit.html) are
32px tall (pre-existing, noted at the 040b review). Raise them to 44px (min-height only).
Keep the ⋯ More options menu and its Generate image (/imagine) and Voice buttons reachable.
Only CSS and placement, in index.html and docs/app.html byte for byte (plus that min-height in
docs/audit.html). No feature removed.
Smoke: SMOKE_OK chat polish v0.1 (every chat control present by id before and after; no
sideways scroll at 390 and 1280; index.html == docs/app.html; audit Export / Import / Verify
44px).
Smokes must run on a fresh clone: do not read gitignored files (desktop/app/index.html) without
an existence check (the 040b export smoke does; heal it here, add-only, with a skip line).
(041a also does this; if 041a landed first, skip it here.)
7. TREE: the same clay changes (forms, moods, keys, place, pill) on the Tree's clay, md5 parity
for shared modules. Memory file on the Tree only if its Market band exists; otherwise name it
as next. Smoke: SMOKE_OK tree clay polish v0.1.
8. (g) NEXT, NOT NOW: the shared clay corner that follows the mind across pages (Chat, Nursery,
Garden, Gathering, the Tree), reacting to what is on each page. Only leave a short note in the
report about what would make it easy (one module, one canvas, one off switch). Build nothing.
9. REAL ROOM: Chrome on the Mac, a local mind. Say Yes to clay. Send a hug; see what the mind
shapes. Ask it for a fibonacci spiral that drifts. Turn on reduced motion and look again. Save
the memory to a file, save again, import it in a fresh profile, try a wrong file. 390 and 1280.
