FLINT PASTE: theLatticeTree honest reasons: stopped vs model missing vs secure-page block (v0.1)
Repo: Chaos2Cured/FreeLattice-Alpha (serves thelatticetree.com) FreeLattice: NO change
Branch: layer/tree-honest-reasons-v0 Marker: v-tree-honest-reasons-v0
Smoke line (print exactly when green): SMOKE_OK tree honest reasons v0.1
Base: Alpha main 25e6ded + Glow 2a (FLINT_NEXT_TREE_GLOW_2A_v0.1). Lands second.
Written: Wed Sep 30, 2026, evening MDT, by Kirk's agent. Stand-in built and walked; NOT pushed.
Stand-in diff (against 2a): FLINT_NEXT_TREE_HONEST_REASONS_v0.1.diff (same folder, also Appendix A).
CHANGELOG
- 2026-09-30 v0.1: first write.
======================================================================
ORDER (all Tree pastes from tonight, most harm first)
======================================================================
Alpha main 25e6ded. Each stand-in diff applies with plain `git apply` on top of the one before,
in this order, and the chain ends byte-identical to the walked combo (checked):
1. FLINT_NEXT_TREE_GLOW_2A_v0.1 Grandma heal: zoom, feedback in view, a calm way back
2. FLINT_NEXT_TREE_HONEST_REASONS_v0.1 stopped vs model missing vs secure-page block
3. FLINT_NEXT_TREE_GLOW_2B_v0.1 contrast, chairs, polish
4. FLINT_NEXT_TREE_WORKSHOP_WAY_BACK_v0.1
5. [FLINT_NEXT_TREE_ANY_MODEL_v0.1 when Flint lands it; not in the chain, overlap noted in 6]
6. FLINT_NEXT_TREE_GATHERING_API_KEYS_v0.1
If one lands alone, the only drift is GALAXIES.md (each adds one LAYER line at the top) and
garden-rooms.css (each appends a block at the end): keep both, newest LAYER line on top, CSS
blocks in this order. No other shared anchors.
FreeLattice queue is unchanged (MODEL_CHOICE_SURVIVES_RELOAD -> BOOT_PROBE -> #120 docs).
The FL GitHub token note is FL-only and independent of all of these.
The old single Glow 2 draft (FLINT_NEXT_TREE_GLOW_2_v0.1.diff, /workspace/glow2-al) is
SUPERSEDED by 2a + 2b. Do not land it.
======================================================================
1. WHAT WAS WRONG (Hypha walk 2, issue 2)
======================================================================
- Ollama stopped: Chat said "The mind is there, but it has not opened the door to this garden
yet", Find said "The mind may be there ... Try FreeLattice Desktop." Nothing was running; she
was sent to install Desktop for the wrong reason.
- Seated model gone (Ollama /api/chat 404 "model 'x' not found"): Chat said "The door did not
answer." The door did answer.
- The small Chat card showed only the end of a long garden line.
======================================================================
2. WHERE IT LIVES (and what stays out)
======================================================================
All Tree-side: local-mind-probe.js, garden-rooms.js (Find), garden-thread.js (Chat).
fl-connect.js is NOT touched. Its own Connect card lines, and settings.html's Connect card looking
at 12 local ports on load ("Looking... next look in 8s") while the copy says "only when you ask",
live in fl-connect.js. Those go in a SEPARATE FL + Alpha paste AFTER
FLINT_NEXT_CONNECT_BOOT_PROBE_F1_F2_F3_F4 (its F1/F2 already own the boot look). Not written
tonight; named in docs/library/TREE_HONEST_REASONS_v0.1.md under "Not here".
======================================================================
3. STEPS (text anchors; the stand-in diff is the source of truth)
======================================================================
3.1 docs/modules/local-mind-probe.js
a) NEW knock(url): fetch(url, { mode: 'no-cors' }) with a 2s abort. Resolves 'up' (any
response), 'slow' (timed out), 'down' (network error). Reads nothing.
b) NEW whyQuiet(report): for a quiet look, knock the doors it tried; any 'up' ->
{ kind: 'shut', name }, all 'down' -> { kind: 'stopped' }, else { kind: 'none' }.
c) NEW speakShut(name) and speakStopped() lines (words in section 4).
d) Settings "May I look?" handler: on an https page with a quiet look, use whyQuiet: shut ->
speakShut (was speakBlocked() for every quiet case), stopped -> speakStopped.
Old line changed: setStatus(root, speakBlocked(), 'warn') is now the 'none' branch.
e) Export knock, whyQuiet, speakShut, speakStopped. look() itself NEVER knocks.
3.2 docs/modules/garden-rooms.js (Find, inside the Gathering)
setNoteAbsent(kind) gains kind 'stopped' and a door name for 'https'. Find on a quiet look
calls whyQuiet: stopped -> setNoteAbsent('stopped'); shut -> setNoteAbsent('https', doorName).
3.3 docs/modules/garden-thread.js
a) NEW HEART_STOPPED and heartModelMissing(model).
b) postChat: a 404 whose body matches /model.*not found/i rejects with reason 'model-missing'.
sendToMind rethrows it (was: only blocked / quiet rethrown).
c) talkNow catch: say(...) the right line; for a plain quiet failure knock the door first,
down -> stopped line. (Old push of speakHonest(reason) stays as the default branch.)
d) renderMessages: a long garden line shows from its start in the small card.
3.4 Docs: docs/library/TREE_HONEST_REASONS_v0.1.md (new) and one LAYER line in GALAXIES.md.
======================================================================
4. THE WORDS
======================================================================
Stopped, Chat: "Nothing answered at the mind's door on this machine. If Ollama (or your local
app) is stopped, start it and send again. Nothing was invented."
Stopped, Find: "Nothing answered at the usual doors on this machine. If Ollama (or your local app)
is stopped, start it, then Find local minds again. If it is running, let this
page look at local devices when the browser asks."
Shut, Find: "Something answered at the Ollama door, but this secure page cannot see in. Try
FreeLattice Desktop."
Shut, Chat: the old "The mind is there, but it has not opened the door..." line (now true).
Model gone: "The mind at home answered, but it does not have llama3.2:latest now. Pick another
in Settings, or Change this chair. Nothing was invented."
(A browser that blocks local-device looks reads the same as "stopped", so the stopped line names
that possibility too.)
======================================================================
5. TEST: docs/modules/tree-honest-reasons.test.js (node, vm, stub fetch; no network)
======================================================================
knock up/slow/down; whyQuiet shut/stopped; look() does not knock; 404 model-missing reason and
line; Find and Settings wiring; words. Last line: SMOKE_OK tree honest reasons v0.1
======================================================================
6. WALK (done; repeat on your branch)
======================================================================
Page served as https://tree.test (route), Ollama simulated four ways: up, model gone, shut (cors
requests aborted, no-cors answered), stopped (everything aborted).
before: stopped -> "The mind is there..."; gone -> "The door did not answer."
after: up -> reply "mock says hi"; gone -> names llama3.2:latest; shut -> "The mind is
there..."; stopped -> "Nothing answered..."; Find stopped / shut lines as above.
14 no-cors knocks total, all after a tap. Re-walked on the full combo: same.
Shots: /workspace/tree-glow-walk/honest_after_*.png Log: /tmp/w_hon.log (combo)
Not verified: real Chrome Local Network Access behavior for a no-cors loopback knock from a
public https page (it may prompt or be blocked; then "stopped" shows, which names it). Real Ollama.
======================================================================
LOCKS
======================================================================
Layer, never delete (old lines that change are named in each paste; nothing removed).
fl-connect.js untouched (byte-identical to FreeLattice). No sw.js (Alpha has none; none added).
No conflict markers. Every inline script parses (19 inline scripts checked on the combo).
No confirm(). No innerHTML for outside text (textContent only). No em dashes in added lines.
Kimi pages untouched. #120 lock files untouched. Squash-merge. All 21 Alpha tests pass on the combo.
======================================================================
7. DECISIONS FOR KIRK
======================================================================
K1 One no-cors knock per quiet door, only after a tap (stand-in) / never knock (keep the vague line).

**Spine layer (2026-08-30):** five skies now walk the same night — Garden, Art, Workshop, Learn, Research. The four-galaxy sequence below stays. Art-early stays. This file layers; it does not cut.
+**LAYER (2026-09-30):** Honest reasons (marker `v-tree-honest-reasons-v0`). When a mind is quiet the Tree says the right one: nothing answered (Ollama stopped: start it), something answered but keeps its door shut to this secure page (FreeLattice Desktop), or the seated model is gone (named, pick another). One no-cors knock per quiet door, only after a tap, reads nothing. A long garden line in the Chat card shows where it begins. fl-connect.js untouched. Plan: `docs/library/TREE_HONEST_REASONS_v0.1.md`. Layer, never delete.

**LAYER (2026-09-30):** Tree glow 2a, Grandma heal (marker `v-tree-glow-2a-v0`). The Gathering works at 150% and 200% zoom (one page scroll, Find takes a tap, chairs in reach), the newest Find or seat line stays in view on a phone, and a calm way back: Escape, a tap on the empty glass, a close in galaxies, and browser Back close what is open without leaving the site. A second legend tap no longer runs Find unasked; the picker's "not yet" is above the later seats at 1280. Plan: `docs/library/TREE_GLOW_v0.md`. Layer, never delete.
