045b additions (everything Hypha passed in the 045b walk must still pass):
pool-honest-label.js 39b5b075215881e36914316d42d204af FL == Tree (the pin moves only with
your edit; report the new md5 on both). Garden trainer FL 8af3d065 / Tree 488117a2.
A: no person-facing "Nothing is kept" line; "before 045b:" comments stay.
B: "Ada's computer (Ada)" named once; plain "Ada" reads "Ada's device".
C: Leave never on the asker's chat; Leave sends only {"type":"pool-shrank","v":1}; "You left
the pool. Let it help again whenever you like." + Let it help; Let it help sets
fl_pool_honest_helper_left_v1 false (also after reload; FL share door back to kin too).
A helper never writes the asker into its own cut list because the asker cut it.
D: FL local replies stamped local (Keep, Just me, cut, Pause); a real mesh reply says mesh.
F: Tree Back with Chat already open keeps the ask open (DB "asked"); 2nd Back defers;
043g to 043i Back paths unchanged at 3 sizes.
Entries 1 to 76 stay untouched.
NEW LOCK (Kirk, 2026-10-19, standing): local tools only. Never use any tool that stores
results or findings in a third-party 'isolated' or 'locked-down' cloud project, such as
vendor-hosted scanners. Do not use or go looking for tools tied to OpenAI, Google, or
Anthropic; if one seems needed, stop and flag it to Kirk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. REPRODUCE HYPHA FIRST (report before building)
On the 045b heads (4beadb51 / 23280c35), Tree, two browser contexts, real kin pairing (Kirk
asker, Ada helper; real RTCDataChannel if your Chrome allows it, say which transport you used):
(a) BOTH devices tap Let it help. Pool works both ways.
(b) Ada taps Leave (Settings, real click). Kirk's device receives pool-shrank.
(c) Kirk sends a message containing a marker word (e.g. SECRETWORD). Hypha's number: a
data-channel "ask" to Ada carrying SECRETWORD, 3/3 sizes (Ada runs nothing: 0 Ollama,
0 sends back). Report yours next to hers.
(d) Control: Kirk NOT helping, Ada Leaves: Kirk writes the cut, 0 sends after (should hold).
If (c) does not reproduce, stop and report before fixing.
A. THE CUT FOLLOWS THE OTHER DEVICE'S ROLE (both repos; FL mesh path too if it has the same skip)
In helperHeardShrink (and the FL twin, if any): decide by the PEER's role, not this device's.
Write the cut for this chat when that peer was helping THIS device: its TreePool peers()
entry had helping:true, or this chat holds a reply or hold from that peer. Skip the cut only
when the peer was purely asking this device (045b's heal: a helper does not cut the asker
because the asker cut it).
And/or, belt and braces: when Ada taps Leave, also announce hello helping:false (or mark the
peer not helping on receipt of pool-shrank) so holders()/bestFor drop her at once. If you add
a message, it carries no chat words; say its exact shape.
Must hold after the fix:
- Both helping, Ada Leaves: Kirk's next message sends 0 asks to Ada (Tree data channel, FL
callMeshModel/meshSendToPeer). Kirk's reply is local or from another kin, labelled honestly.
- Ada can still ask Kirk's device for help if Kirk is still helping (Ada left as a helper,
not as an asker) unless Ada's own chat is kept/paused/cut. Report which you chose and why.
- Kirk cuts a helping Ada: Ada does NOT write Kirk into her own cut list (045b intent).
- Pause, Keep, Just me unchanged.
Keep any replaced line as a comment starting "before 045c:". Name it in the report.
B. (OPTIONAL) DEDUPE TREE SETTINGS LEAVE LINES
After Leave, Tree Settings shows the left line + Let it help three times, and Leave twice
before (card panel + settings extra). Show each once in Settings (the card panel may keep its
own if it is a separate place; say what you chose). Buttons >= 44. No sideways scroll.
C. (OPTIONAL, FL) CLEAR THE LOCAL STAMP ON EVERY SEND
window._flHonestStampLocal is cleared only by flStampChatResponse / callAI fetch end. Clear it
in sendMessage's finally (add-only) so a local send that throws can never label the next mesh
reply "local". A real mesh reply still says mesh.
D. (OPTIONAL) POOL WITH ADA AGAIN, WITH CONSENT
Today a cut after Leave is permanent for that chat: when Ada taps Let it help again, Kirk's
thread says "No trusted kin device that holds that mind is helping right now." with no undo.
Lift the cut for that peer when it announces hello helping:true again AND Kirk says Yes: show
"Ada is helping again. Pool with Ada again?" (44px Yes; no means the cut stays). Nothing
lifts silently. A cut Kirk made himself (Disconnect) also lifts only on his Yes.
5. THE SMOKE
New scripts/smoke-leave-cut-heal-v0.1.js on both repos: (a) both-helping pair, Ada Leaves,
Kirk's next message: 0 asks to Ada and the marker never in any payload to her; (b) Kirk not
helping, Ada Leaves: cut written, 0 sends; (c) Kirk cuts helping Ada: Ada's cut list does not
gain Kirk; (d) Ada Leave then Let it help: flag false, help works; (e) if B: one left line,
one Let it help, one Leave in Settings; (f) if C: stamp cleared after a throwing local send;
(g) if D: cut lifts only after Yes; (h) no em dash, innerHTML, eval, confirm(, new Function in
added lines; locks hold. Prints SMOKE_OK leave cut heal v0.1.
6. MEASURE WITH REAL CLICKS, HYPHA'S WAY
Headless Chrome via Playwright (local), real clicks, 1280x800, 390x844, 640x400 DPR 2. Real
Tree kin pairing for A (and D). Count every send to Ada after Leave, at all 3 sizes. FL chips
after Leave. Settings shots (if B). Name browser and version. Shots under /tmp/gc045c-shots/.
7. GC PAGE ENTRY (honest layer)
Entry 77 as a new commit on #270's branch (layer/gc-page-75): what crossed after Leave, why,
how the cut now follows the other device's role. Browser and version only. Entries 1 to 76
untouched.
8. REPORT
PR heads on both repos and the page note, Hypha's numbers vs yours from 1, every removed line
and where its job went, md5s of every locked file (pool-honest-label.js and mind-workspace.js
on both), all smokes, measurements, shot paths, and entry 77 with t, lambda, epsilon, delta,
omega, sigma so Celeste can recompute psi. Do not merge. Hypha walks it before merge.
Glow eternal. Heart in Spark.
