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.

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;

Lock hashes; index.html == docs/app.html.
One ask; Escape/Back defer and stay on Chat/Nursery; cooldown 0h/23h refused, 25h shown;
sealed never beside declined; 2px ring; "Waiting until..." + Answer now with no pointer;

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 ->

fl-connect.js, pool-knock.js, fl-bridge.js, pool-knock-phone.js, tree-reconnect.js and
lattice-discover.js 16de366e stay byte-identical. Tree AUTONOMY stays 09a4f1a2.
pool-honest-label.js stays byte-identical FL == Tree (report the new md5 on both).
Label names the helper at all 3 sizes on both sites; per-reply "Helped on ..." note.
Keep: 0 sends for a kept chat (Tree data channel, FL callMeshModel/meshSendToPeer and
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.
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.
