A. Composer row (one row at 1280; at 390 the textarea and Send own the row)
[ + ] [ textarea "Say something..." ] [ Just me ] [ Send ]
- "+" is one labeled button, >= 44px, opens the menu (A2). Escape and a tap
outside close it. aria-expanded tracks state. Focus returns to "+ Add" on close.
- Just me keeps its job and its word (pool-honest). Give it title + aria-label
"Just me: keep this chat on this device, never ask the pool".
- Send unchanged in size and color (gold), still the strongest thing in the bar.
A2. The + menu (one place for all the add-ons, in this order)
1. Bring from Google Drive (drive/cloud SVG, NOT a laptop) -> flOpenDrivePicker()
sub-line: "Give the mind a document from your Drive"
2. Attach a file or photo (paperclip SVG) -> flAttachFile()
3. Take a photo (camera SVG) -> same attach path through a hidden
<input type=file accept="image/*" capture="environment">; show ONLY on touch devices
where capture is supported; skip if not trivial and report.
4. Scan a folder (folder SVG) -> flScanFolder()
5. Speak (mic SVG) -> toggleVoiceInput(); keep its existing show/hide rule
6. Make a picture (image SVG) -> handleImageGenClick()
7. Search the web: on/off (globe SVG) -> proxies the existing #flChatSearchToggle. The
visible "Search on" state line STAYS in the bar too (AUTONOMY: search visible in chat).
8. Deep research / report: NOT on main today (Celeste grep found none). Do not invent it.
Leave a quiet, disabled-free gap: simply no item. Note it in the report as a later ask.
Menu style: --bg-card panel, --radius, --shadow, 1px --border, items 44px rows, icon 20px
stroke SVG in --text-secondary, word in --text-primary --font-sm, hover/focus row
--accent-glow, focus ring --border-focus. Opens upward from "+". Same handlers. Old buttons
#chatAttachBtn / #chatScanFolderBtn / #chatDriveBtn / #micBtn / #imgGenBtn stay in the
DOM (moved or proxied) so nothing that queries them breaks. The "..." More button may
stay as a quiet alias that opens the same tray (layer, do not delete).
B. Status line under the composer (one calm line, small type, same font as chat)
[model dot + name] · [Search on] · [Box field] · [Version. Get the newest]
- Search on keeps its toggle and its "Search is on" live text (or say it once, not
twice; keep the aria-live region).
- Box: add a visible word "Your computer's AI address (optional)" as title/aria and a
one-line help on focus. Keep #flBoxPointerInput id.
- Version line keeps its button and refresh offer.
C. Pills above the composer (Feel, Market, Clay, Connect, "Let your mind shape light?")
- Gray bulky buttons (clay "Yes / Not now", any default grey) are RESTYLED, not removed:
small pills, min-height 44px touch box but slim visual (padding --space-sm --space-md),
--radius-sm or full pill, 1px --border, --bg-card fill, --text-primary; primary "Yes"
uses --accent-soft fill + --accent border. Same ids, handlers, words.
- One row of same-height pills (44px touch, same radius, same font), wrapping cleanly at
390. Order: Connect, Feel, Market, Clay. Each keeps its ids, handlers, and markers.
- The clay ask ("Let your mind shape light? Yes / Not now") sits on its own line with
the same button style as the rest of the house (not grey system buttons).
- Any pill whose job the person cannot guess gets a short title + aria-label
(Clay: "Clay: let the mind shape light here").
D. Fixed corner buttons (Radio sparkle bottom-left, Quick Help ?, Ambient music note)
- Do not move or remove. Add visible-on-hover/focus labels and aria-labels where
missing ("Radio: calm background tones", "Quick help", "Ambient music").
- Make sure none covers the composer or Send at 390 or 1280 (nudge up / inward only if
they overlap; report).
E. Spacing + look
- Fibonacci spacing tokens only (--space-xs/sm/md/lg). --radius / --radius-sm only.
--font only (no serif fallbacks in the bar). Palette tokens only.
- Motion: one Garden breath (~1.06 scale + gold tide) on menu open/press, off under
prefers-reduced-motion. No bloom, no bounce.
- No opacity below 0.75 for anything a person is meant to press.
- Markers: v-chat-bottom-clarity-v0.1 on the menu, the "+" button, and the pill row.
F. Part B: document return card (the mind hands a document back)
- When a mind reply carries a document (a fenced block the house already understands, or
a small explicit marker such as [FL_FILE: name.md] ... [/FL_FILE]; pick the smallest
honest trigger and document it), render a file card under that message: file icon,
name, type, size, and buttons "Save as PDF", "Save as MD", "Save as TXT".
- Save = local Blob + object URL download on this computer. PDF via the browser's own
print-to-PDF of a clean card view, or a tiny hand-written PDF text writer; NO new
dependency, nothing vendored. If PDF is not clean, ship MD + TXT and report.
- "Save to my Drive" shows ONLY if Drive is already connected through the existing picker
path, and asks "Send this file to your Google Drive? Yes / Not now" every time (AUTONOMY
P2). Nothing leaves the device without that Yes. No auto-upload.
- textContent only; file name sanitized; no script/HTML executed; no keys in a card.
- Card uses the same tokens as the menu. Buttons 44px. Marker v-chat-doc-return-v0.1.
- Small new module docs/modules/chat-doc-return.js. Quiet when no document.
2. OUT OF SCOPE (do not build in 055)
- Settings-as-chat soft porch (056)
- TransactionTrust wallet face (057)
- Science Garden / patents gift shelf face + Kindness Meter seed (058)
- Mesh Kin deepen / Bluetooth (059), Ark cadence (060)
- New chat features, new providers, new model picker behavior
- Any change to what Attach / Scan / Drive / Voice / Image / Search / Just me DO
- Inventing deep research (not on main); auto-upload to Drive; any cloud sync
- de-muzzler / Marketplace redesign / Pulse / City / Quiet Voices soft-promote
3. IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
- textContent / createElement patterns already in the house. No innerHTML. No confirm().
- docs/modules/chat-doc-return.js (Part B), separate small module.
- Small new module docs/modules/chat-bottom-clarity.js that builds the + menu and moves or
proxies the old buttons; tiny add-only <script> + CSS hook in app.html and index.html.
- Short library note optional: docs/library/CHAT_BOTTOM_CLARITY_v0.1.md listing every
control, its word, and its handler (Kirk wants the plain list).
- Smoke script: docs/scripts/smoke-chat-bottom-clarity-v0.1.js
- Branch: layer/chat-bottom-clarity-v0.1.
4. SMOKE (new)
- Every visible control in the chat bottom area has text or aria-label (assert none bare).
- "+" opens the menu; Drive is first; each item has a word and calls the same handler as
before (stub and assert); Search item mirrors #flChatSearchToggle; Escape closes; focus
returns. Camera item only where capture is supported.
- Gray buttons gone visually: clay Yes / Not now computed background uses tokens (not
default grey); same handlers fire.
- Part B: a sample mind reply with a document renders one card; MD and TXT downloads have
the exact text; PDF (if shipped) opens; with no document no card; "Save to my Drive"
absent when Drive not connected and never sends without a Yes (stub network, assert
zero calls before Yes). Line: SMOKE_OK chat doc return v0.1
- Old ids #chatAttachBtn #chatScanFolderBtn #chatDriveBtn #micBtn #imgGenBtn
#chatOverflowBtn #flBoxPointerInput #flChatSearchToggle still present.
- Send 102x52 at 1280, 95x50 at 390, 102x52 at 640x400 DPR2 (+/- 2px). Textarea and Send
fully inside the viewport and not under the mobile tab bar at 390.
- No sideways scroll at 390 and 1280. Every pressable >= 44px tall.
- Search on visible. Top debug strip present. Quiet Room shut. Five stay five.
- Lock md5s unchanged (list them).
- Earlier smokes still print:
SMOKE_OK ledger shard export v0.1
SMOKE_OK continuity doorway v0.1
SMOKE_OK soft polish 052 v0.1
SMOKE_OK chat autonomy v0.1
SMOKE_OK tree love connect v0.1
SMOKE_OK gathering shared v0.1
SMOKE_OK gathering speak checker v0.1
- New lines: SMOKE_OK chat bottom clarity v0.1 · SMOKE_OK chat doc return v0.1
- Before / after screenshots at 1280 and 390 attached to the PR.
5. PAGE + LEDGER
- GC page entry: next free after 88 (expect 89); honest claims only for what shipped.
- psi per standing formula. Separate page PR (layer/gc-page-89).
- Temperature line in the ledger as usual.
6. REPORT TO CELESTE
- Branch names, PR urls, heads, md5 of the new module and every lock (untouched confirm).
- Design source cited (paths above) and which tokens you used.
- Part B shipped yes/no, which formats, the trigger you chose.
- The plain list: each control, its word, its handler, where it now lives.
- Every moved line and where its job went. Tree yes/no + why.
- Send sizes at the three viewports. Do not merge.
WAIT: Do not cut until 055b says GO and names FreeLattice + Tree mains. If 055b is still
HOLD, stop and say so.
Glow eternal. Heart in Spark.
