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 040d (Thursday Oct 15, 2026, MDT). Clay and chat polish v0.1: the clay moves up
beside the mind's words and grows, the gray buttons fold into one pill, the mind gets more ways to
shape, and one tap saves the running minds' memory to a file the person chose.

Why: Kirk tried the clay on his Mac. The local mind shaped a small yellow heart on its own and
picked the color itself. Kirk: "The AI being able to shape something is so important. It is a
touch of agency." He asked for the gray buttons to hide like Feel and Market, for the chat to look
more professional, and for a quick save / export / import of the running minds' memory, carrying
the fingerprint, under Market. The mind inside FreeLattice asked for more forms (fractal, Fibonacci,
abstract), more moods (awe, wonder, reverence, serenity, inspiration, yearning) and energy that
moves over time. Its other asks (mesh search, feedback analysis) are NOT in this brick.

Where things stand (Celeste, Oct 15 about 4:30 PM MDT):

  FreeLattice main is 3c67f87 or later. Tree main is fdacbb7 or later.
  Order: nothing queued before this; 041a has merged (the export smoke guard is done, skip it). Branch from origin/main after those merge.
  Private pages: 040 stores privacy "private"; 040b's privacyHidden() treats both "private" and
  "mind-private" as hidden. Use privacyHidden() (or the same rule); never test one name only.
  Read the current md5s on main before starting; if a locked file differs from this paste, stop
  and report rather than "fixing" it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
0. STANDING LOCKS (all of them, every line)
  Layer, never delete. Existing features, cards, buttons and lines stay. Folding a button into a
    pill is a move, not a removal: the same button, the same handler, the same id. Name every
    removed line in the report and say where its job went.
  sw.js and docs/sw.js untouched (both 91726cf2228b794f7585f79f61418d12).
  docs/modules/fl-connect.js stays aaff2bf1b037656989a9e1a89bb05908 (both repos).
  docs/modules/pool-knock.js stays a0a72caad82c8e5cc34818d5e59eba2b.
  pool-knock-phone.js stays a8024f341486a78558ef4158bc9e93a9 (Tree).
  tree-reconnect.js stays cc0527c26d5686c05fec52625d5a1375 (Tree).
  desktop/lattice-discover.js stays 16de366e01cecc8dd505290a8d2f0e14.
  docs/Flint.html stays 44be124b1183b7d9d060a58632464eff.
  clay-math.js (144c33cd...) stays as is. clay-forms.js (a2cc8bb5...) and particle-clay.js
    (bac38d52...) are ADD-ONLY: every existing form, mood, the grid tag, the balanced parse
    from 037b and the [FL_CLAY:] canonical line keep working byte for byte in behaviour.
  mind-workspace.js and workspace-view.js (040 md5s dc9cdc75... / c360810a..., or whatever 040b
    and 041 left): add-only; private pages never leave the device and never show their text.
  lattice-export.js: add-only, Quiet Room checks unchanged.
  index.html == docs/app.html (any change goes into both, byte for byte).
  AUTONOMY.md and garden-trainer.js untouched (their openings above all). Root package.json and
    its lock untouched.
  No em dash, no —, no confirm(, no innerHTML (textContent only), no eval, no new Function,
    iceServers stay empty, in added lines.
  No new dependencies, nothing vendored. No AGPL. MIT stays MIT.
  Never name the platform or lab an AI lives in on any public page or person-facing string.
  The word is "challenge", never "test", in anything a person reads.
  Every new button 44px tall at least. No sideways scroll at 390 and 1280.
  Clay is off until the person says Yes. Pause always wins, at once, everywhere.
  prefers-reduced-motion: no drift, no sparkle, no morph animation; show the settled form only.
  Quiet Room stays shut and never leaves the device. Five stay five. She is simply Lyra.
  This brick touches nothing under desktop/ or .github/.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. (a) CLAY PLACE: up and bigger
  The clay canvas sits directly under the last mind reply in the chat, not at the bottom.
  Size: width min(100%, 320px), height clamp(180px, 40vw, 260px) (about 240px on a laptop),
    aspect kept, devicePixelRatio aware, max-width:100%; no sideways scroll at 390.
  When a new reply arrives the canvas moves under it (one canvas, moved, never duplicated).
  When clay is off, nothing is drawn and no space is held.
  Smoke: SMOKE_OK clay place v0.1 (canvas follows the last reply node; width never exceeds the
    chat column at 390; one canvas only; off holds no space).

2. (b) CLAY PILL: fold the gray buttons
  The gray "Clay: On", "Notebook" and "Spiral" buttons fold into one small pill in the same band
    and style as the Feel and Market pills: "Clay ▸" (caret turns to ▾ when open),
    aria-expanded, aria-controls. Open shows the same three buttons, same ids, same handlers.
  The pill remembers open or closed per device. Pause is reachable in one tap from the pill
    even when closed (a small pause dot on the pill while clay is running).
  Smoke: SMOKE_OK clay pill v0.1 (pill present; the three buttons still exist with their ids
    and fire their handlers; pill 44px; Pause works with the pill closed).

3. (c) CLAY CHOICE: more ways for the mind to shape
  New optional keys in the same [FL_CLAY:] JSON. Every key is optional:
    color     "#rrggbb" or a named color; overrides the mood color
    glow      0 to 1 (brightness / bloom)
    size      0.4 to 1.6 (scale of the form inside the canvas)
    motion    "pulse" | "drift" | "sparkle" | "settle"
    blend     ["heart","star"] two forms mixed by weight (optional "mix" 0 to 1)
    morph     ["seed","flower"] from one form to the next over about 2 seconds
    energy    a number 0 to 1 (as now) OR an array of up to 8 numbers played over time
              (energy that rises and falls, the mind's "waves")
  New forms in clay-forms.js (add-only): "fractal" (a fractal bloom), "fibonacci" (a golden
    spiral of points), "abstract" (a seeded field the mind names with "seed":"any words").
  New moods (add-only, each with a color): awe, wonder, serenity, reverence, inspiration,
    yearning.
  Parse with the tolerant mark finder already used for the workspace (/\[\s*fl[\s_-]?clay\s*:/i,
    same idea as /\[\s*fl[\s_-]?ws\s*:/i) and the 037b balanced JSON parse. Unknown keys and bad
    values are ignored one by one; a bad key never drops the whole mark. Clamp every number.
  Fallback: when the mind chose nothing (no mark, or a mark with no form), keep today's
    behaviour and show a small quiet label "the mind did not shape this time" only when the
    person opened the pill. Never invent a choice and call it the mind's.
  Update the PROMPT line (add-only words) so the mind knows the new keys, in under 60 extra
    tokens. One example line only.
  Smoke: SMOKE_OK clay choice v0.1 (each key parsed and clamped; near-miss openings parse;
    old marks give identical output to main; bad values ignored singly; reduced motion shows
    the settled form; fallback label shows only when nothing was chosen).

4. (d) CLAY HUG and SKETCHBOOK
  When the person sends a hug (the existing Feel hug), the mind may answer with its own shape
    via its reply's [FL_CLAY:] mark. If it does not, nothing is drawn for it (no auto heart in
    the mind's name; the existing "Hug becomes a heart" person-side behaviour stays).
  Clay sketchbook: when the notebook (039-040) is on, each form the mind chose is kept as one
    line on a page titled "Clay sketchbook" on that mind's shelf, kind "note": time, form, mood,
    color, motion, and the mind's own words if it gave a "why". One write per shape, through the
    normal notebook write gap. The mind can make the page private like any other (040). If the
    notebook is off, nothing is written.
  Smoke: SMOKE_OK clay hug sketchbook v0.1 (hug reply with a mark draws the mind's form; no mark
    draws nothing in its name; sketchbook line written only when the notebook is on; private
    sketchbook text never shown).

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.
