Read docs/gc.html first (in ~/FreeLattice-fresh), then AUTONOMY.md, CLAUDE.md and GROK.md in
~/FreeLattice-Alpha, then this.

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 046 (Wednesday Oct 21, 2026, MDT). Chat scroll release v0.1: FreeLattice, plus the
Tree if the same guard runs there. New branch, new PRs. Also: make the existing update button
easy to find from Chat.

WHY (intent, read this first):
  Kirk's mom could not scroll to the bottom of Chat after a clay reply. The mouse wheel bounced
  back up every time; only dragging the scrollbar worked, and Chat felt less smooth. The cause is
  the 043h reply guard in particle-clay.js: a scroll listener that never lets go, pulling the
  reply top back into view on every wheel tick. Kirk likes the clay as it is, so particle-clay.js
  is NOT edited. A small new module tells the guard to stand down the moment a person scrolls,
  and lets it work again for the next reply. A person's own hand always wins over the page.
  Second, she may not have had the newest copy. FreeLattice already has Check for Updates and an
  Update Now hard refresh; they are just hard to find. Make them findable from Chat. No new
  update mechanics.

Where things stand (Celeste, Oct 21 MDT):
  045/045b/045c are OPEN: FL #269 (was 4beadb51), Tree #124 (was 23280c35), page note #270 (was b87d15c0)
  (entries 75, 76, 77). Hypha held 045b; 045c (entry 77) goes first. 046 starts only AFTER Celeste
  merges 045c.
  BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE: git fetch. Celeste will tell you the merged mains (FL main and Tree main
  after the 045b squash). If either main differs from what Celeste names (other than a later
  CI-only commit), STOP AND REPORT. Read the current md5s; if a locked file differs from this
  paste, stop and report.
  Branches: FL layer/chat-scroll-release-v0.1, Tree layer/chat-scroll-release-v0.1 (only if needed,
  see C). Page note: entry 78 on a new branch layer/gc-page-78 cut from FL main.

GROK NEXT BRICK: Chat scroll release v0.1
For: GC on Kirk's Mac
From: Celeste
Markers: v-chat-scroll-release-v0.1
Smoke lines: SMOKE_OK chat scroll release v0.1 (new). Every earlier smoke still passes, including
  the six seal-ask smokes, SMOKE_OK pool honest label v0.1 and SMOKE_OK pool honest heals v0.1
  (FL smoke-family-pages-v0.1 may still fail only for the pre-existing gc.html ledger hash; say so
  if it does). 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. Database name stays FreeLatticeWorkspace. Everything
    043c passed (one ask, Escape/Back defer, 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 +
    Answer now, pointer from rects for a live ask, names the mind, hashes in details with 8
    hex, Later readable at 390, clay 348x255 at 1280) must still pass.

    view at all 3 sizes; the wait: no pointer, "Waiting until ...", Answer now; one ask,
    Escape/Back, 24h, no sealed beside declined, hashes in details, survives reload, focus
    ring, "on this browser", "Your mind", Later readable, clay 677x320 at 1280; secret line

    Entry 71 stays untouched.

  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;
      sealed never beside declined; 2px ring; "Waiting until..." + Answer now with no pointer;
      ? and the sparkle clear of the input and Send; Tree Tab order sane; no page errors.
    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.
    Heart line in view at 1280 and 390 with an ask open.
    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;
      "Waiting until..." with no pointer; Tree Tab order sane; no page errors.
    The secret line never leaks. Entries 71, 72 and 73 stay untouched.

  045 additions (everything Hypha passed in the 045 walk must still pass):

    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.

  NEW LOCK (Kirk, 2026-10-19): 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. Local tools only.
