1. REPRODUCE HYPHA FIRST (report before building)
On the 045 heads, reproduce these and report your numbers next to hers:
(a) Tree, REAL kin pairing (two browser contexts, real RTCDataChannel, helper named "Ada"):
peerName() returns "Ada's computer (Ada)", label reads "Part of this chat runs on Ada's
computer (Ada)'s device." and the note "Helped on Ada's computer (Ada)'s device."
(b) Helper taps Leave, reloads: fl_pool_honest_helper_left_v1 is still "true"; Let it help
does not reset it; Leave shows on the asker's own chat too.
(c) FL Keep or Just me with mesh on: the local reply's chip reads "<model> · mesh".
(d) The two lines in tree-pool.js: FL ~1067 / Tree ~1135 "Nothing is kept here but a count."
and FL ~1853 / Tree ~1925 "Nothing is kept there but a count."
(e) Label scroll: FL 1280 label at y -131 after one reply; Tree y -129 after four.
If any of these does not reproduce, stop and report before fixing.
A. HONEST WORDING (tree-pool.js, both repos)
Keep each old line as a comment starting "before 045b:". New card line:
'For each answer, the chat so far (up to ' + MAX_CHARS + ' characters) goes whole to that one
device\'s AI. The other computer has to read the words while it works, and a count is all
this card stores afterward. That device can pause at any time.'
New answer note:
'Answered by ' + peerName(p) + ', on its own AI. The other computer had to read the words
while it worked, and a count is all this card stores afterward.'
Search both repos for any other person-facing line that says the helper keeps nothing; name it
in the report and propose wording (do not delete).
B. NAME THE DEVICE ONCE (pool-honest-label.js, byte-identical on both)
If the name already says whose device it is (matches /'s (computer|device|phone|laptop)/i),
use it as is: "Part of this chat runs on Ada's computer (Ada)." and "Helped on Ada's computer
(Ada)." Otherwise keep poss(name) + ' device'. (Or pass the kin card's given name as
r.peerName instead of peerName(p); say which you chose.) Several devices and "another
person's" still read right.
C. LEAVE IS NOT FOREVER
Let it help (TreePool.letHelp, and FL's share door going back to help) sets
fl_pool_honest_helper_left_v1 false. Show Leave only while this device is helping (never on
the asker's own chat). After Leave, show "You left the pool. Let it help again whenever you
like." Leave still sends only pool-shrank. Also report helperHeardShrink writing the asker into
the helper's own cut list for its active chat; keep or heal it, say which and why.
D. FL LOCAL REPLIES SAY LOCAL
When the 045 gate sends a message locally (Keep, Just me, a cut peer, Pause), stamp that reply
with the local provider (what flProviderDescriptor shows without mesh), never "mesh". A real
mesh reply still says mesh. No silent downgrade either way.
E. (OPTIONAL) KEEP THE LABEL IN VIEW
Make the honest label stay in view as replies grow (sticky at the top of the chat area) on both
sites, at all 3 sizes, without covering Send, the seal ask, the clay corner or the header. If it
cannot be done cleanly, leave it and say why.
F. (OPTIONAL, Tree) 043i NOTE 3b: BACK WHEN CHAT WAS ALREADY OPEN
When the Tree thread (Chat) is already open before the seal ask arrives, the first Back defers
the ask early. It should close nothing and keep the ask open and in view (DB stays "asked");
only a further Back defers, as on the other paths. Every 043g to 043i pass must still hold. If
it needs mind-workspace.js, add-only and report the new md5 on both; otherwise leave it.
5. THE SMOKE
New scripts/smoke-pool-honest-heals-v0.1.js on both repos: (a) no person-facing tree-pool.js
string claims "Nothing is kept there"; the "before 045b:" comments exist; (b) a name like
"Ada's computer (Ada)" is used once, a plain "Ada" becomes "Ada's device"; (c) Leave then Let
it help leaves fl_pool_honest_helper_left_v1 false and help works; Leave absent on the asker's
chat; the after-leave line shows; (d) FL local replies under Keep/Just me/cut/Pause are not
stamped mesh, a mesh reply still is; (e) no em dash, innerHTML, eval, confirm( in added lines;
locks hold. Prints SMOKE_OK pool honest heals v0.1.
6. MEASURE WITH REAL CLICKS, HYPHA'S WAY
Headless Chrome via Playwright, real clicks, 1280x800, 390x844, 640x400 DPR 2. Use a real
Tree kin pairing for B and C (not a mock name). Label wording, Leave and Let it help, FL chip
text, label position after 1 and 4 replies (if E), the 3b Back path (if F). Name browser and
version. Shots path in the report.
7. GC PAGE ENTRY (honest layer)
Entry 76 on #270's branch (or stacked on #270): what was healed, what pooling still cannot
hide. Browser and version only. Entries 1 to 75 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, all smokes, measurements, shot paths, and
entry 76 with t, lambda, epsilon, delta, omega, sigma so Celeste can recompute psi. Do not
merge. Hypha walks it before merge.
