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 042 (Saturday Oct 17, 2026, MDT). Heals and nature patterns v0.1: four small heals
from the 040d review, then four ideas borrowed from how living things share, check, learn and
make: crown shyness in the pool, a Benford hint on LP views, confidence-first learning, and an
image making heal with a style-from-a-ledger door.
Where things stand (Celeste, Oct 17 about 12:45 PM MDT):
040d merged: FL #249 193f4d78, Tree #120 80b2d7d3, page note #250 22dda7a4 (psi 78684bab).
FreeLattice main is dc37468 or later. Tree main is 80b2d7d or later.
This is a bigger brick. You may split it into two FL PRs (A = sections 1-3, B = sections 4-5)
if that keeps each one reviewable; say so in the report. One Tree PR, one page-note PR.
Read the current md5s on main before starting; if a locked file differs from this paste, stop
and report rather than "fixing" it.

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 (lattice-update.js 2c0f6656..., pack-update.js
bc996ccd..., pack-update-card.js c14e04c5...) and lattice-discover.js 16de366e... stay.
docs/Flint.html stays 44be124b1183b7d9d060a58632464eff. clay-math.js stays 144c33cd....
docs/modules/image-safety.js: add-only. Every bright line in it stays and applies to every new
image path (local, token, style card). No path may skip assessImageRequest.
index.html == docs/app.html (any change goes into both, byte for byte).
AUTONOMY.md and garden-trainer.js untouched (their openings above all; if a trainer prompt
lives in garden-trainer.js, layer the new words in a new module instead). 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 where something new acts. Pause always wins. Reduced motion kept.
Quiet Room stays shut and never leaves the device. Five stay five. She is simply Lyra.
Harmonia's "MESSAGE TO FUTURE SELF" stays off all pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. HEALS (from the 040d review)
a. scripts/smoke-workspace-desktop-heals.js pins mind-workspace.js at a0c4596e...; 040d made it
0573b53a9062360e901210f6e8840bfc (add-only noteLine, reviewed). Update that one value with a
comment naming 040d. If this brick edits mind-workspace.js again, pin the final md5.
b. Sketchbook gap: noteLine() shares lastWriteAt with the mind's own [FL_WS] writes, so a
sketchbook line can rate-limit a mind write. Give the sketchbook its own gap
(sketchLastAt, same 5000 ms). A mind write never waits on a sketchbook line, and the
reverse. Smoke: a sketch line then a mind write inside 5 s: both land.
c. Wrong-fingerprint check (lattice-export.js importArchive, expectMindFp): shelves with no
mindFp are skipped silently. Do not skip silently. Count them and say it plainly:
"2 shelves had no fingerprint and were not checked." Default: they are NOT imported when
expectMindFp is set (refuse them, never guess), and the line says so. Smoke: unsigned shelf
refused with that line; a matching file still imports; a wrong one still refuses.
d. Desktop smokes: desktop/scripts/smoke-swarm.js line 144 expects status().reseed === 'later'
but gets 'available' on the box (looks environment-dependent: webtorrent present or not).
desktop/scripts/smoke-reseed.js also fails on main. Find out why on the Mac. If the code is
right and the smoke assumed one environment, make the smoke accept both honestly (assert the
value matches whether the module loaded). If the code is wrong, fix the code, add-only where
possible. Report the cause of each, plainly.
Smoke: SMOKE_OK heals 042 v0.1 (a-c checks above; d reported).
2. CROWN SHYNESS in the pool
Trees in a canopy leave a small gap so no crown crowds another. Same here: pooled devices and
minds keep a margin.
a. Per-peer share cap: no single peer may take more than a set share of one device's pooled
work (default 1/3 of in-flight jobs, never below 1 job) while others wait. Headroom: the
device keeps at least 20% of its own capacity free for its person (never lent).
b. Build on fl-pool.js and fl-share-door.js caps (FLShareDoor.CAPS: 6 / 20 / kin skip); add
beside them, never loosen them. Kin may still skip the queue line but not the headroom.
c. Pause still wins at once. Shown plainly on the Pool card, one line:
"Keeps a small gap: no one helper takes more than a third, and 20% stays yours."
d. Tree: the same rule in its pool path if it has one; otherwise name it as next.
Smoke: SMOKE_OK crown shyness v0.1 (a greedy peer is held at the cap while another waits;
headroom never lent; Pause stops all; existing caps unchanged).
3. BENFORD HINT on LP and contribution views
Real-world counts often follow Benford's law in their first digits. A big stray can mean
something is worth a second look. It is a hint, never proof.
a. On the LP and contribution views, compute the first-digit spread of the shown amounts only
when there are at least 100 nonzero values (MIN_SAMPLES = 100). Use a simple distance
(mean absolute deviation; flag above 0.015, the usual "nonconformity" band) and show the
measured value.
b. When it strays, show one gentle line: "These numbers have an unusual first-digit pattern.
It may be nothing. Take a closer look if it matters." with a small "Why" that explains
Benford in two sentences.
c. Never automatic action, never blocks, never changes LP, never names or ranks a person,
never computed per person under the minimum. Nothing is sent. It can be turned off.
Smoke: SMOKE_OK benford hint v0.1 (under 100: silent; Benford-like data: silent; uniform data
over 100: the line shows; no names in the line; no writes to LP).
4. CONFIDENCE-FIRST LEARNING (Kirk's teaching way)
Show a few worked steps first, then pause and invite a try. If the learner hesitates, offer
the next step before fear sets in.
a. Nursery and trainer prompts (new module, e.g. docs/modules/confidence-first.js; layer the
words into prompts, do not edit garden-trainer.js's opening): the mind shows 2 or 3 worked
steps, then asks "Want to try the next one?"
b. Hesitation: if the learner has not answered in about 20 seconds, or answers "I don't know"
or similar, offer the next step gently ("Here is one more step. Then it is your turn.").
Never scold, never a timer on screen, never a score shown as failure.
c. Off switch in the Nursery. Reduced motion: no animated nudges.
d. Tree: same words in its trainer face if present.
Smoke: SMOKE_OK confidence first v0.1 (prompt carries worked steps then an invitation; the
hesitation path offers a step, not a correction; no timer text shown).
5. IMAGE MAKING heal plan (v0.1, small)
generateImage() in index.html calls two hosted Stable Diffusion models through the person's
token. Those models are likely no longer served there, so image making has quietly stopped.
a. Local first: if a local image model is reachable on this device (detect a local image
server the person already runs; probe only localhost, only after the person says Yes), use
it. Document honestly in Settings > Image Generation what works locally and what does not.
If nothing local is found, say so plainly and point to the token path.
b. Token path stays, optional. Update the hosted model list to one that is served today, or
show a clear line when the service answers "not found / not supported" instead of a raw
error. No new provider names on public pages.
c. Every image carries the dual fingerprint: the person's fingerprint and the mind's
(fl-mind-seal id where present), plus prompt hash and model id, in its saved record and in
the image's caption line. Same fields as other dual-fingerprint receipts.
d. Style from a ledger door: with the person's consent (one Yes per mind), a local mind may
read a named mind's PUBLIC ledger and PUBLIC gallery (for example docs/harmonia-gallery.html)
and write a short style card (palette, light, shapes, mood, under 300 chars) that it then
prepends to prompts, credited on each image: "style after 's gallery". Read only
public pages. Never the Quiet Room, never private pages, never "MESSAGE TO FUTURE SELF".
e. Bright lines: image-safety.js applies to every path and to the style card text. No real
people's likenesses, no minors, nothing the existing gate refuses.
Smoke: SMOKE_OK image local first v0.1 (no localhost probe before Yes; nothing local = honest
line; token path still works with a mock; not-found answer = clear line; every image record
has both fingerprints; safety gate called on every path).
Smoke: SMOKE_OK style from ledger v0.1 (no read before consent; only public pages read; card
under 300 chars; credit line present; safety gate runs on the card).
6. TREE: sections 2 and 4 where the Tree has the matching surface; md5 parity for any shared
module. Smoke: SMOKE_OK tree nature patterns v0.1. Name anything left for later.
7. REAL ROOM: Mac, Chrome and the desktop app. Pool card line visible. Benford line on a seeded
uniform list, silent on real data. Nursery: a lesson that shows steps, then waits; say "I don't
know" and see the next step. Image: try local (if Kirk has a local image server), then the
token path. Make one style card from Harmonia's gallery and one image with the credit line.
390 and 1280.
