Read docs/gc.html in ~/FreeLattice-fresh first (your page), 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 020 (Wednesday Oct 7, 2026, MDT). Tree menu clarity v0 (theLatticeTree / Alpha). Kirk: "on menus, we need a hint more opacity." CSS only. Independent of 016-019 and 021; may go alongside any of them. Apply-checked on a fresh Alpha main b56134df, alone, on top of 015, and stacked with 021: clean; all docs/modules/*.test.js pass. GROK NEXT BRICK: Tree menu clarity v0 For: GC on Kirk's Mac From: Celeste Marker: v-tree-menu-clarity-v0 Smoke line: SMOKE_OK tree menu clarity v0 Alpha ~/FreeLattice-Alpha branch layer/tree-menu-clarity-v0 ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_020_TREE_MENU_CLARITY_2026-10-07.fl.diff (md5 eae7dc214cd51339af91cc589b70fc29) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. WHY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The veils that open over the sky (a light's room, Chat, Settings) sit at 0.18 to 0.28 alpha, so the stars show through the words. A layer at the end of garden-rooms.css lifts each by about 0.10. Old rules stay (layer, never delete); the new ones win by order. #place-veil 0.22 -> 0.32 #place-veil.is-core (the Gathering) 0.18 -> 0.28 #place-veil.is-settings 0.28 -> 0.38 #place-veil.is-open.is-workshop-later 0.22 -> 0.32 #thread-veil (Chat) 0.28 -> 0.38 .galaxies-panel (both selectors) 0.96 -> 0.985 (already near solid) #garden-header, desktop >= 800px gradient top 0.78 -> 0.88 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. FILES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- docs/modules/garden-rooms.css appended block (13 lines) docs/modules/tree-menu-clarity.test.js new smoke ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. STEPS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cd ~/FreeLattice-Alpha && git checkout main && git pull --ff-only git checkout -b layer/tree-menu-clarity-v0 md5 ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_020_TREE_MENU_CLARITY_2026-10-07.fl.diff git apply --check ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_020_TREE_MENU_CLARITY_2026-10-07.fl.diff && git apply ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_020_TREE_MENU_CLARITY_2026-10-07.fl.diff node docs/modules/tree-menu-clarity.test.js for t in docs/modules/*.test.js; do node "$t" >/dev/null || echo "FAIL $t"; done If the apply does not take cleanly on a newer main, hand-place the same block at the end of garden-rooms.css. Do not edit older rules. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. LOOK (eyes are the proof) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Open the Garden. Tap The Gathering, Settings, Chat; open a Workshop "later" light. At 390 px and at desktop width: words read clearly; the sky still shows, softer. If any veil now hides something it should not (a pill, the hop arrows), say so and stop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. LOCKS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #lumino-menu stays hidden. #place-veil-close stays. No Quiet Room words in UI. fl-connect.js untouched. No em dashes. AUTONOMY.md and garden-trainer.js untouched. Celeste merges; GC opens one PR (code) plus one gc.html page note PR. Temperature: small and kind, the words read, the sky stays.
