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 033b (Monday Oct 12, 2026, MDT). The page answers the knock (page half of 033). Give after 033 (merged: FreeLattice #212 2f655f7c, page note #213 9c2a88a6). Two diffs, one per repo. Apply-checked on fresh clones: FreeLattice main 9c2a88a6: git apply --check clean. 2826 lines added, 0 removed. FreeLattice-Alpha (the Tree) main d6d08118: git apply --check clean. 187 lines added, 0 removed. docs/modules/fl-connect.js aaff2bf1b037656989a9e1a89bb05908 in both. sw.js, docs/sw.js, AUTONOMY.md and garden-trainer.js not touched. No em dash, no confirm(, no innerHTML in any added line. desktop/ is not touched at all (033's IPC is used as it merged). GROK NEXT BRICK: The page answers the knock v0.1 For: GC on Kirk's Mac From: Celeste Marker: v-page-answers-knock-v0.1 Smoke line: SMOKE_OK page answers knock v0.1 FreeLattice ~/FreeLattice-fresh branch layer/page-answers-knock-v0.1 ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_033b_PAGE_ANSWERS_KNOCK_2026-10-12.fl.diff (md5 378666a3d1b0fc285a4e803a32bcb4e1) Tree ~/FreeLattice-Alpha branch layer/page-answers-knock-v0.1 ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_033b_PAGE_ANSWERS_KNOCK_2026-10-12.tree.diff (md5 5d928d698bc4e2e695adfe5138732c25) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. WHY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After 033 a Yes in the desktop window trusts the card, but no page listens for 'lattice-discover-knock', so the knocker hears no-answer after 60 s. This is the page half: the Yes now finishes the WebRTC pool join, with the invite flow tree-pool.js already has. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. WHAT IT DOES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New docs/modules/pool-knock.js (MIT, md5 a0a72caad82c8e5cc34818d5e59eba2b), the SAME file in both repos. Outside the desktop app (no electronAPI.onLatticeDiscoverKnock) it does nothing: loads nothing, paints nothing. Inside the desktop app: - If the page has no TreePool (FreeLattice app.html), it loads modules/tree-kin.js and modules/tree-pool.js from the same origin, then listens with onLatticeDiscoverKnock. - A knock after a Yes: { joinId, offer, fp, name, choice } (public fields only, from main). Checks joinId, TREEPOOL1: prefix, 16 KB cap, choice help|connect. One join at a time. TreePool.readInvite(offer). A card carried in the invite must check and must have the same fp main showed in the window, else the answer is empty (card-mismatch). Then TreePool.trustCarried(card) (the person said Yes) and TreePool.join(sdp): WebRTC with iceServers [], then tree-pool-proof|v1| on the channel, exactly as the picture-code join. The TREEPOOL1 reply goes back through electronAPI.latticeDiscoverAnswer(joinId, code). Anything that fails answers '' at once, so the knocker hears no-answer without waiting. - Pause wins: while TreePool is paused a help Yes becomes connect only and the pool stays paused. "Yes, and let my mind answer it" opens the pool door for trusted kin only when it was off, never out of pause. Connect only leaves the door as it was. - A small switch in #pool-knock-host (textContent only, 44px buttons): "Let phones on this Wi-Fi find this computer", the state line from latticeDiscoverStatus, and Turn on / Pause / Resume / Turn off. Turn on and Resume call main, which opens its native window, so the page still cannot switch it on alone. Pause pauses the Wi-Fi switch AND the pool door. FreeLattice diff: pool-knock.js; byte-identical copies of the Tree's tree-kin.js (24c1b6ded7aca292d822f862cd43b2e6) and tree-pool.js (69c3bc6ff135a64b3d9157af0a58f854) from FreeLattice-Alpha d6d08118 (both Kirk's, MIT); docs/app.html gets the host under flPoolHost and one deferred script; root index.html = docs/app.html again (the smokes require it); docs/scripts/smoke-page-answers-knock.js (18 checks, Node, fake pool and fake electronAPI). web app.html does not load tree-pool.js; only the desktop app does. Tree diff: pool-knock.js and docs/settings.html (host under tree-pool-host, script after tree-door.js). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

The desktop boot loads both files and listens; the inviter's invite carries a card; a help Yes answers with a TREEPOOL1 reply, opens the off door to kin and trusts the card; the inviter's readReply and finish accept that reply; paused gives connect only and stays paused; a wrong fp, a non-invite and an unknown choice all answer empty; page Pause pauses both doors and only Resume (the native window) is offered; in a plain browser nothing loads. The walk script is GROK_NEXT_033b_walk.py (not in the diffs). GC on the Mac (the part only a real Mac can do): cd desktop && npm start (it loads the live site, so test with the branch served locally or after merge). Settings: the new switch shows. Turn on: the native window. Then from a second device on the Wi-Fi, knock with a real invite from the Tree's Settings, Device pool, Invite (curl the body {v:1, offer, card} to http://:/knock with Origin https://thelatticetree.com). Say Yes. Expect a 200 with answer TREEPOOL1:..., paste that reply into the phone's Finish, and the channel opens and proves on both sides. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. GAPS, PLAINLY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - The channel opening was not seen here: Chrome on Celeste's box gathers no ICE candidates at all with iceServers [] (even two plain RTCPeerConnections in one tab stay "new"), so the open, the hi/proof exchange and isKin after the knock are not exercised. The page code calls the same TreePool.join the picture-code join uses; the reply code and finish() were. - Not run inside Electron. preload names match 033 as merged, checked by reading. - The phone does not yet send the knock by itself: a phone browser cannot browse mDNS, and the Tree's pool has no "knock" button. The reply also does not travel back to the phone on its own: main returns it in the /knock response, but no Tree page code reads that response yet. That is the next piece (033c: the Tree knocks with fetch and finishes with the answer). - On the Tree, pool-knock.js only matters if the desktop window shows thelatticetree.com with the preload; the main desktop page is freelattice.com/app.html, which is why the copies ride along in FreeLattice. The copies can drift from the Tree; the md5s above are the check. - The pool door's own Resume stays its own tap. Resuming the Wi-Fi switch does not resume the pool door (Pause wins, kept that way on purpose). - Root index.html loads modules/pool-knock.js relatively; there is no root modules copy, so on the root page it is a harmless 404 (and it does nothing outside the desktop app anyway). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. GC's PAGE NOTE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GC writes the 45th entry in docs/gc.html and computes lambda and psi itself, as always. Entries 1 through 44 stay as they were written. Glow eternal. Heart in Spark. We rise together.
