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 045c (Wednesday Oct 21, 2026, MDT). Leave cut heal v0.1: BOTH REPOS. Layer on the
SAME 045 PRs. Hypha walked 045b and held it (small, one fix). One fix (A), three optional (B to D).

WHY (intent, read this first):
  Leave promises the person who leaves that no more chat words come to them. 045b healed the
  helper's own cut list, but the heal asks the wrong question: helperHeardShrink skips the cut
  whenever THIS device is helping. In a family pool both devices often help. Then, after Ada taps
  Leave, the asker's next message still crosses to Ada as an "ask" with the chat words in it. Ada
  does not run it, but the words still reach a person who left. The cut must follow the OTHER
  device's role, not ours. Keep 045b's intent: a helper never writes the asker into its own cut
  list just because the asker cut it.

Where things stand (Celeste, Oct 21 MDT):
  FL main feb58168. Tree main 2db31481.
  OPEN, do not merge: FL #269 head 4beadb51 (base feb58168), Tree #124 head 23280c35 (base
  2db31481), page note #270 head b87d15c0 (entries 75 psi 3027d2e8 and 76 psi 94a30ac0).
  Hypha's walk: Celeste's research notes walk-045b-2026-10-21 (summary in this paste). A, B, D, F
  and Leave placement/undo all PASS. C is the one HOLD.
  Same branches: FL layer/pool-honest-label-v0.1 and Tree layer/pool-honest-label-v0.1. New
  commits on top, no force push. Page note: entry 77 as a new commit on #270's branch
  (layer/gc-page-75). Entries 75 and 76 stay as written. (046 now takes entry 78.)
  BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE: git fetch. Confirm FL main is feb58168 (or a later CI-only commit), Tree
  main is 2db31481, and the three PR heads are 4beadb51, 23280c35, b87d15c0. If code moved, stop
  and report. Read the current md5s; if a locked file differs from this paste, stop and report.

GROK NEXT BRICK: Leave cut heal v0.1
For: GC on Kirk's Mac
From: Celeste
Markers: v-leave-cut-heal-v0.1
Smoke lines: SMOKE_OK leave cut heal v0.1 (new, both repos); SMOKE_OK pool honest heals v0.1 and
  SMOKE_OK pool honest label v0.1 still pass; every earlier smoke still passes (FL
  smoke-family-pages-v0.1 may still fail only for the pre-existing gc.html ledger hash; say so).
  Do not merge. Celeste merges after Hypha walks.

0. STANDING LOCKS (all of them, every line)
  Layer, never delete. Existing features, cards, buttons and lines stay. 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 a8024f341486a78558ef4158bc9e93a9 and tree-reconnect.js
    cc0527c26d5686c05fec52625d5a1375 (Tree) stay.
  docs/modules/fl-bridge.js stays 3b5ef06849a142e50c78e7ba1e057980.
  desktop/bridge-door.js b1c894b4..., 036 files (2c0f6656 / bc996ccd / c14e04c5) and
    lattice-discover.js 16de366e... stay. docs/Flint.html stays 44be124b1183b7d9d060a58632464eff.
  clay-math.js stays 144c33cd.... particle-clay.js FL == Tree (today 2da32883c514e4ad2a3cd8571e7a7b15 on both, FL main 3e3e8445
    and Tree 49f5873a; read the full md5 first; 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).
  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. An
    image provider may be named only in Settings where the person types its token, as today.
  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.
  Off until the person says Yes. Pause always wins. Reduced motion respected.
  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/043d additions: mind-workspace.js FL == Tree (today f1c88664d3e99362e02c625defb241bc on
    both, after 045b; read the full md5 first; the pin moves only with your edit, report the new
    md5 on both). Mirror pin workspace-mirror.js stays e0752ae1942cd499c8834e5912809c8b.

    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 +

  043g additions: everything Hypha passed in the 043g walk must still pass:
    FL Seal it fully in view and hit by a REAL click (centre on top) on every tap path:
      reload on Garden then Chat, Garden then Chat, reload already on Chat, tapping Chat while
      on Chat; at 1280, 390 (#mnav-chat) and 640x400 DPR 2.
    Tree woken compose inert while the ask is open at all 3 sizes (every control disabled,
      tabindex -1, aria-disabled true, 0 focusable); Seal it, No, Later, Escape and Back each
      restore the exact pre-ask snapshot; reload with an ask re-inerts it with Seal it in view;
      the asleep form is unchanged by an ask before the wake.
    1280 canvas bitmap matches its box at DPR 1; 390 and 2x buffers scale by DPR.
    Lock hashes; index.html == docs/app.html.
    One ask; Escape/Back defer and stay on Chat/Nursery; cooldown 0h/23h refused, 25h shown;

    The secret line never leaks (HTML, input values, localStorage).
    Entry 72 stays untouched.

  043h additions (everything Hypha passed in the 043h walk must still pass):
    Tree Back from Nursery, all 3 sizes: Nursery closes, the ask stays open and in view, Seal it
      on top (y 196 / 250 / 196), DB "asked"; a second Back defers it ("later").
    FL reply top at 2x by Hypha's method: y 31 at first draw, y 0 after the scroll; 1280 326 ->
      280; 390 334 -> 256 (FL is merged; do not change it).
    All 043g passes: Seal it in view and on top on every FL tap path; woken Tree compose inert
      while the ask is open, 0 focusable; Seal it, No, Later, Escape and Back restore the exact
      snapshot; reload re-inerts; the asleep form unchanged before the wake; Find x2 seats a mind.

    Lock hashes; index.html == docs/app.html; notebook and clay identical on both sites.
    One ask; Escape defers; cooldown 0h/23h refused, 25h shown; no Declined beside Sealed;

      FreeLattice.callAI), honest no-mind line, "From the next message..." line, survives reload,
      other chats unaffected.
    Just me: local only, mark kept, off after send, next message pools; no-mind line, 0 sends.
    Disconnect: only {"type":"pool-shrank","v":1} is sent; 0 sends to that peer after; helper sees
      only "The pool is smaller now."; no toast; helper holds no chat words.
    Pause wins. No stale toasts. Buttons >= 44. No sideways scroll. textContent only.
    App iceServers [] at runtime. Entries 1 to 75 stay untouched.
