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 053a (Wed Oct 28, 2026, MDT). Continuity doorway note v0.1: one calm line of
"here's what we were doing" across chat / More / return-to-app boundaries. FreeLattice
primary. Alpha twin where the chat / More shell already exists. New branches, new PRs.
WAIT FOR 053b GO before you cut — tip SHAs live only in 053b. Soft polish 052 is MERGED
(Hypha PASS; Celeste squash-merged). Cut only after 053b names mains.
WHY (intent, read this first):
A grandmother (and Kirk between lessons) leaves Chat, opens More, or comes back to the app
and should see one calm line of last intent so the thread is not lost. Soft, local, not a
second chat history. Prefer tiny add-only. Layer never delete. Principle: return without
hunting; if nothing recent, stay quiet (no fake continuity). Never store keys. Pause /
Clear wins. Do not grow fl-connect.js. Do not grow or rewrite ai-continuity.js (that module
is the AI relationship-shape layer; this brick is a person-facing doorway note). AUTONOMY
P1/P2 untouched. Top debug strip stays. Ledger shard, settings-as-chat, wallet, Mesh Kin,
Science Garden, de-muzzler, Gathering brick 3 are NOT this brick.
Where things stand (Celeste, Wed Oct 28 ~12:45 PM MDT — 052 MERGED; tips in 053b):
052 Soft polish MERGED after Hypha PASS (A–G, locks MATCH, Mom safe):

Do not merge. Celeste merges after Hypha walks.
Do not cut until 053b says GO and names mains.
CELESTE PINS before cut (2026-10-28):
1. One calm line of last intent + optional Continue. Not a second transcript.
2. Local storage only. Never keys. Pause / Clear wins. Quiet if nothing recent.
3. Prefer tiny add-only (new small module OR tiny shell hook). fl-connect.js stays
byte-identical aaff2bf1b037656989a9e1a89bb05908. Leave ai-continuity.js alone.
4. Do not cut until 053b says GO.
GROK NEXT BRICK: Continuity doorway note v0.1
For: GC on Kirk's Mac
From: Celeste
Markers: v-continuity-doorway-v0.1
Smoke lines: SMOKE_OK continuity doorway v0.1 (new). Every earlier smoke still passes,
including soft polish 052 v0.1 (once 052 is on the tip you cut from), chat autonomy v0.1,
tree love connect v0.1, gathering shared v0.1, and gathering speak checker v0.1.
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. 049 / 050 / 051 / 052 behavior stays; this brick
only adds the doorway note.
sw.js and docs/sw.js untouched (today 91726cf2228b794f7585f79f61418d12 on FL after 052 cut;
read md5 first on the tip 053b names; report). Soft leave Alpha sw if present.
docs/modules/fl-connect.js stays byte-identical across FreeLattice and Alpha. Do NOT grow it
for this brick. Pin: aaff2bf1b037656989a9e1a89bb05908 on both. Read full md5 first on both;
if it changed on main after 052 merge, report the new shared pin and leave it untouched.
Prefer CSS / HTML / tiny add-only over edits to fl-connect.js.
docs/modules/fl-gathering.js stays a twin: FL == Alpha byte-identical. Today both
4dbbff5d554c42256605b37939835080 on the 052 cut. Prefer leave untouched for 053.
docs/modules/gathering-speak.js stays a twin: FL == Alpha byte-identical. Today both
0460fdc777a21f7a1744f401dda82cb2 on the 052 cut. Prefer leave untouched for 053.
docs/modules/ai-continuity.js stays untouched. That is the AI relationship-shape layer.
This brick is a person-facing "what we were doing" line. Do not conflate the two.
docs/modules/pool-knock.js, fl-bridge.js, particle-clay.js, image-safety.js, clay-math.js,
clay-forms.js, mind-workspace.js, workspace-mirror.js, garden-trainer.js, chat-autonomy.js,
propose.js - add-only or tiny hook or untouched; read full md5 first; report any new md5.
Orientation pins from 052 cut (re-read on the tip 053b names):

index.html == docs/app.html on FreeLattice (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. Do not touch .github/.
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.
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.
Quiet Room stays shut. Five stay five. She is simply Lyra.
Top chat debug / status strip stays for Kirk's debugging (do not remove or hide).
AUTONOMY Principle 1 (local free) and Principle 2 (external ask) untouched.
Off until the person says Yes on new connectors. Pause always wins. Reduced motion respected.
1. BEHAVIOR (person-facing) - Continuity doorway note
A. What shows
- When a person leaves Chat, switches a More tab / room, or returns to the app, show one
calm line of last intent. Examples (plain grandmother words):
* truncated last user ask from Chat (short; not a full dump)
* last Build / Connect / Gathering action the person took on this device
Optional Continue control that returns them to that place (Chat / Connect shelf /
Gathering Ask) without inventing a new answer.
- Soft, local, not a second chat history. One line. Not a thread. Not a replay.
B. When it stays quiet (wrong-if)
- If nothing recent (no last ask, no last action worth naming), the line stays quiet.
Do not invent continuity. Do not show a placeholder that pretends a thread exists.
- If Pause is in flight or Clear has wiped the thread / store this brick owns, Pause /
Clear wins: no stale line that contradicts what the person just cleared.
C. Storage and safety
- Local storage only (suggested key shape: fl_continuity_doorway_v0). Short intent text +
optional place / tab id. Never store API keys, tokens, passwords, or full message dumps.
- A note that looks like a key is refused (same spirit as Gathering checker).
- No cloud leak. No sync. No new connector. Off until the person already used the app
on this device (no first-open nag).
D. Mount and twin
- FreeLattice: mount where Chat / More shell already lives (tiny hook in app shell and/or
a small new module under docs/modules/, e.g. continuity-doorway.js). Prefer add-only.
- Alpha / Tree: twin where the chat / More shell exists. If Tree has no matching Chat /
More shell for this line, report the gap cleanly and do not invent a second face.
- Markers: class or data marker v-continuity-doorway-v0.1 on the line / Continue control.
- Buttons >= 44px. No sideways scroll at 390 and 1280. Reduced motion: no flashy entrance;
a calm appear / stay is fine.
2. OUT OF SCOPE (do not build in 053)
- Soft polish 052 (still open; wait for merge before cutting 053)
- Gathering brick 3 (Tree renderCoreGathering moves onto fl-gathering.js)
- Ledger shard export / ark cadence (054 / 059)
- Settings-as-chat clay blank (055)
- TransactionTrust wallet face (056)
- Mesh Kin deepen / Bluetooth (057)
- Science Garden / Kindness Meter (058)
- de-muzzler / Marketplace redesign / Pulse / City / Quiet Voices soft-promote
- Growing or rewriting ai-continuity.js (AI Continuity Layer)
These sit on Celeste's ORDER for later layers.
3. IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
- textContent / createElement patterns already in the house. No innerHTML. No confirm().
- Markers: class or data marker v-continuity-doorway-v0.1 on new nodes where natural.
- Short library note optional: docs/library/CONTINUITY_DOORWAY_v0.1.md (FL) + one-paragraph
sister on Alpha if they keep a library pattern.
- Smoke script: docs/scripts/smoke-continuity-doorway-v0.1.js
- Branches: layer/continuity-doorway-v0.1 on each repo you cut.
