Checked on the box (fresh clone of Alpha main 5755e340 + this diff): node: all 29 docs/modules tests pass. tree-pool-room.test.js prints SMOKE_OK tree pool room v0.2; tree-pool.test.js still SMOKE_OK tree pool v0.1; tree-kin.test.js still SMOKE_OK tree kin v0.1. The new test covers: a host and two devices join once each, a third is let in by its neighbor, and all four end up connected to all three others with keys proved. It also checks that the next invite rolls by itself and that the trust list comes before one tap. Two slow questions spread to two devices, a paused device is skipped, all paused gives "no-helper" with no AI call, and a stopped pass is skipped. Chat history is trimmed (40 turns, 16000, no system turn). The asking card says "asks only". QR is drawn. A link invite is filled in, taken out of the address bar, and makes no connection. The camera opens only after a tap and stops after reading. "Join without trusting" means no introductions. Reload memory and Forget are covered, as is Close the room (members told, connections stay). Counts are numbers only, and only tree_kin_ and tree_pool_ keys are written. The locks are read from the files. Headless Chrome, three windows (H at 1280 in the garden veil, A at 390 and C at 390 in settings.html, C with NO mind), and a local docs/ server with a mock Ollama on 127.0.0.1:11434: C made an asking card. H tapped Start a room; the QR shows 360px wide at 1280 and 306px at 390. A joined by paste (invite 1072 chars, reply 1040). A tapped Invite a device (neighbor invite with its own QR). C joined A. The room connected C to H through A, with no pairing between H and C. Each device tapped Trust everyone in this room: each trusts 2. H and A tapped Let this device help. C tapped Use qwen2.5:7b in Chat, opened Chat, and asked twice. Answers came "qwen2.5:7b on Ben's computer (Wren)", with exactly one POST /api/chat per question. H and A paused; C's next question said "No trusted kin device that holds that mind is helping right now. Nothing was invented." and made no POST. A link opened at settings.html#treepool= came up filled in, the address became /settings.html, and no connection was made. Closing the veil and opening Nursery hid the pool on H, and its connections stayed. Every visible button was 44px or more, with no sideways scroll at 390 or 1280. RTCPeerConnection was only ever made with {"iceServers":[]}. During joins the only requests were the page's own server and the usual fl-connect bridge knocks (11434 tags, 11435-11445 health), which are not this brick. No page errors besides favicon.ico 404. How: this box's Chrome blocks WebRTC candidates (managed policy, as in 018), so the windows used a stand-in for the TRANSPORT only. It relays each data channel between pages by connection id. WebCrypto, the key proofs, the room relay, trust, the door, the fetch to the local AI and every tap were real. NOT tried: real WebRTC between real machines, real phone cameras scanning the QR (the invite QR is dense, about version 27, since the kin card rides along), BarcodeDetector on a real camera, Safari, Firefox, a managed school Chromebook, and more than 4 devices in a real room. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. FILES TOUCHED (Alpha) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- docs/modules/tree-pool.js layered: VERSION, LATER, decode/readInvite (room), invite (room tag), ownCardCode (asking card), hello (busy, max), serve (hellos on busy change), handle (room- messages on proved channels), closed (room), the QR, camera and Chat lines in paintConnect, doJoin(sdp, room), doFinish (rolling host invite), mount (room + chat parts, arrived link), a new section at the end (room, picture codes, camera, askTurns/askBest/askChat, paintRoom, paintChat). Every changed line is kept as a "before v-tree-pool-room-v0.2" comment. docs/modules/tree-kin.js makeAskerCard + ASKS_ONLY + "Make an asking card" when no mind (makeCard unchanged). docs/modules/garden-thread.js Ask the pool from Chat (poolRoute, talkPool, the pool line, compose opens with a route; old setComposeOpen line kept as a comment). docs/lib/qrcodegen.js new, vendored, MIT (Nayuki). docs/modules/tree-pool-room.test.js new. docs/index.html, docs/settings.html one script tag each (lib/qrcodegen.js before tree-pool.js). docs/code-settings.html, docs/code-dialogue.html, docs/GALAXIES.md one LAYER paragraph/line each. Storage: tree_pool_room ({ id, role }); counts gain roomsOpened, roomJoins, roomMembers, roomOffers, roomRelayed, roomTrusts, pictureCodes, scans, chatOn, chatOff (numbers only). Skipped on purpose: AUTONOMY.md, garden-trainer.js, workshop-trainer.js, fl-connect.js, local-mind-probe.js, garden-rooms.js, garden-rooms.css, sw.js, #lumino-menu, #place-veil-close, any Quiet Room words, any FL file, anything AGPL. No llama.cpp code (that is 019b). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. STANDING LOCKS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Layer, never delete. AUTONOMY.md and garden-trainer.js untouched. Never touch sw.js. fl-connect.js stays aaff2bf1b037656989a9e1a89bb05908. #lumino-menu stays hidden (not touched). #place-veil-close stays (not touched). No Quiet Room words in the UI. No em dashes, no —, no confirm(, textContent only (added lines; garden-thread.js's older lines are as they were). Receipts are counts only. Only a human tap opens the door; a room, a scan or a link never does. Pause wins. Kin only. No outside servers: iceServers [], no STUN/TURN, room codes ride proved connections. No AGPL (QR encoder is MIT). 44px buttons. No sideways scroll at 390. No auto-trust (the room trust is one human tap after the list is shown). No silent scan (the camera opens only after a tap; no LAN scan at all). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

That is Node's note, not a failure.) Walk (local server on docs/, Ollama running). THE REAL CONNECTION AND THE REAL CAMERA ARE THE FINDINGS; the box could do neither. Use three windows that do not share storage (Chrome, Chrome Incognito, Edge), or better, the Mac plus a phone and a second computer on one network: a. Window H (a mind remembered): Trusted kin, Make my card. Device Pool, Start a room on this device. The room invite shows a QR. b. Window A (a mind remembered): make a card, then Join with an invite, paste H's invite, Join, Trust this AI and join, Copy reply. In H: paste, Finish joining, Trust this AI and finish. A new room invite appears in H on its own. c. Window or phone C with NO mind: Trusted kin, Make an asking card. Then either scan H's or A's QR with the phone camera (it should open settings.html with the invite filled in), or on A tap Done, Invite a device, and paste into C. Join, trust, send the reply back (on a Mac host, try Scan their reply with the webcam). Expect: C becomes connected to BOTH A and H without a second pairing. d. On each: Trust everyone in this room (N). Write down N. e. H and A: Let this device help. C: Use (model) in Chat, open Chat, ask two things. Each answer names the device. Ask a long one from C and a long one from another window at the same time: they should land on different devices. f. Pause both helpers: C's next Chat question says no trusted device is helping, and nothing was invented. g. Reload C: the card says it was in Room X. Rejoin once with the room invite; it should meet everyone again with no trust taps. h. 390 px and 200%: buttons full width, 44px, QR inside the card, no sideways scroll. DevTools Network: nothing leaves the page on start / join / trust / scan taps. i. Write down which joined over wired, over Wi-Fi, and whether the phone camera read the QR. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. COMMIT / PR ---------------------------------------------------------------------- git add -A git commit -m "Layer, never delete. Tree pool room v0.2: one invite fans out to a room, Chat asks the freest trusted device, asking cards and picture codes, no server, built by GC" git push -u origin HEAD Open a PR to FreeLattice-Alpha main. Celeste reviews and squash-merges. You do not merge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. GC PAGE NOTE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Next docs/gc.html entry in FreeLattice (earlier entries as written). Say that the Tree has rooms now: one invite fans out, the room relays codes over proved connections, and there is still no server. Say that trust is one tap after the list, that Chat can ask the freest trusted device, and that a device with no mind can ask with an asking card. Mention picture codes, and that a reload costs one join. Name 019b as slow and honest, a design only. Record what the real connection and the real camera did (walk a to i), and that you did not merge. Compute λ and ψ the usual way (ψ = first 8 hex of SHA-256 of t+λ+ε+δ+ω+σ). Make it a separate docs-only PR in FreeLattice; Celeste merges that too.
