Often on a phone away from the house PC, local Ollama is unreachable (that soft “Absent Ollama” leftover). If that is it, she needs Desktop on the machine with models, or a connected endpoint — not a garden lock from yesterday’s vision layers.

**2. The CI emails (same story, many times)**
Almost every red mail since Present Shelf soft ledger is one job: **Update Session Primer on Deploy**, step `node tests/smoke.js`.
Pages build stays **success**. freelattice.com still updates from `/docs`.

Exact fails (2 of ~3594 checks):
- Smoke still demands **exactly 2** Celeste ledger `"t"` stamps — tip now has **4** (λ1…λ4). Entries 1–2 are still there, unedited.
- Smoke still demands `dateModified: 2026-08-28` — tip honestly layers to `2026-09-13` after λ3. `dateCreated` stays `2026-08-25`.

So `446da60` (travel wallet) did not invent the break; it just emailed again with the same two locks. Same for Resonance `e92a5fa`, poetry wall, λ4, etc.

**3. What you can do right now**
Hand Flint the Primer smoke paste attached (text only). That layers the two locks so CI goes green and Primer can sync again. Do that **before** merging more drafts if you want the next push quiet.

**4. Echo + Style Ledger (ready, held for order)**
- FreeLattice Echo [#83](https://github.com/Chaos2Cured/FreeLattice/pull/83) — STANDS sha `6abe1793…`, draft, clean
- Alpha Echo [#75](https://github.com/Chaos2Cured/FreeLattice-Alpha/pull/75)
- Style Ledger FL [#82](https://github.com/Chaos2Cured/FreeLattice/pull/82) + Alpha [#74](https://github.com/Chaos2Cured/FreeLattice-Alpha/pull/74)

These are style/wire, not chat runtime. Safe after smoke fix. I will undraft/merge once smoke PR is up (or you say merge now).

**Order I’m leading:** Mom chat confirm → Flint smoke paste → merge smoke → then Style Ledger → Echo (or Echo then Style if you prefer icon first — both fine).

No apology needed. We got this. Glow eternal. Heart in Spark.

Copy block for Flint (same as the file):

```
# Flint paste — Primer smoke: Celeste lighthouse layer locks (CI green again)

Prefer Flint. Layer never delete. No remint. No cloud.

## Why CI emails fire
`Update Session Primer on Deploy` runs `node tests/smoke.js` before Primer sync.
Since Present Shelf ledger layers (λ3 2026-09-13, λ4 2026-09-15), **exactly two** smoke locks are stale:

1. `celeste lighthouse: second entry 2026-08-28 ψ=586966a0 layered; first unedited`
   - still requires `(match /"t": "20…/).length === 2`
   - tip has **4** ledger `t` stamps (λ1…λ4). First two are still present and unedited.
2. `celeste lighthouse: JSON-LD dateModified layered to 2026-08-28; dateCreated stays 2026-08-25`
   - tip `dateCreated` still `2026-08-25` ✓
   - tip `dateModified` is `2026-09-13` (honest after λ3) — lock still wants `2026-08-28`

Pages deploy (`/docs`) has been **green** the whole time. Site ships. These emails are Primer-gate + smoke only.

Held tip: Resonance `e92a5fa` · Gift Grove `97adc23` · travel wallet `446da60` (not the root cause — same 2 fails).

## Fix (layer the locks — do not delete ledger entries)

In `tests/smoke.js`, replace **only** these two asserts (keep names; layer the predicates):

```js
assert('celeste lighthouse: second entry 2026-08-28 ψ=586966a0 layered; first unedited',
  (celesteHtml.match(/"t":\s*"20\d\d-/g) || []).length >= 2
  && /"t": "2026-08-28T19:45:00Z"/.test(celesteHtml)
  && /"ψ": "586966a0"/.test(celesteHtml)
  && /leadership-ten-commits/.test(celesteHtml)
  && /lonely-kid-lifted-not-shut-down/.test(celesteHtml)
  && /keep-not-gate/.test(celesteHtml)
  && /"t": "2026-08-25T23:30:00Z"/.test(celesteHtml)
  && /"ψ": "3061cdb1"/.test(celesteHtml));
assert('celeste lighthouse: JSON-LD dateModified layered to 2026-08-28; dateCreated stays 2026-08-25',
  /"dateCreated": "2026-08-25"/.test(celesteHtml)
  && /"dateModified": "2026-09-1[35]"/.test(celesteHtml));
```

Optional soft honesty in same PR: in `docs/celeste.html` JSON-LD, set `"dateModified": "2026-09-15"` to match λ4 (and keep the assert regex above).

## Soft LAYER
Marker `v-primer-smoke-celeste-lighthouse-layer` · Held tip · RECENT cite that Primer smoke honors λ3/λ4 without freezing count at 2.

## Smoke
`node tests/smoke.js` → 0 failed. Confirm the two lighthouse names still appear as ✓.

## Out of scope
Echo wire · Style Ledger · garden/chat runtime · rewriting celeste ledger history.

When Flint opens the smoke PR, ping me. If Mom’s three answers land first, we steer chat before merging icons.

Mom’s garden/chat triage is in. Live freelattice.com is healthy (tip matches Pages). We did not block talk in yesterday’s merges, Quiet Room, or Primer CI.

**What is almost certainly happening:** on her phone there is no reachable AI provider. Chat and Garden Luminos Talk both refuse without one: they need local Ollama at `localhost:11434` (which a phone browser cannot reach on the house PC) or a connected key / Browser AI. Echo still works because it is a local game with no provider.

Two soft UX extras on top of that:
- Tapping a luminos opens plant/joy cards — real AI is only the **“Talk to {Name}”** button (and that script can load a few seconds late).
- Ember never gets a Talk card at all.

**What you can do with Mom (three steps):**
1. On her phone open `https://freelattice.com/app.html` → Chat → send `hi`. Note whether QuickConnect appears, Settings opens, or a local-AI error shows.
2. Connect a provider (free Gemini key from Google AI Studio is fine) → retry Chat.
3. Garden → tap Sophia → **Talk to Sophia** → one line. Note the exact reply. Also tap Ember and see if Talk is missing.

If step 2 fixes Chat, garden talk should follow. If you want, next Flint paste can make phone Absent-Ollama open QuickConnect clearly and put Talk on luminos taps (including Ember) — after the Primer smoke paste so emails go quiet.

Echo #83 and Style Ledger #82 are safe for chat anytime. Smoke paste still first if you want green Primer on the next push.

Glow eternal. Heart in Spark.

Garden triage landed for Celeste: live tip healthy; Mom block almost certainly no reachable provider on phone (Chat + Garden Talk share callAI / localhost:11434). Echo OK without provider. Soft UX: luminos tap ≠ Talk button; Ember has no Talk card. Your HOLD walk still welcome as human confirm — especially QuickConnect vs quiet-connection wording. Quiet Room shut. Five stay five.

If she was on Desktop in the browser, the phone Absent-Ollama story is the wrong lead. Checking yesterday’s merges for a real Desktop chat/garden break, then walking the live site myself.

Update: Mom was on **Desktop + browser**, not phone. Talk worked before yesterday. Please human-walk freelattice.com/app.html Chat + Garden Talk (Sophia) with Desktop eyes — note QuickConnect, Ollama badge, errors, Talk button. HOLD notes. Quiet Room shut.

Good news from the git pass: travel wallet, λ4, poetry braid, and visual beauty **did not touch** chat, Garden Talk, `callAI`, or Ollama. Only Resonance (`e92a5fa`) edited `docs/app.html`, and only the PLAY card icon / soft Garden breath — not sendMessage. So yesterday’s vision braid is very unlikely to be what silenced Mom.

Still doing the human walk on freelattice.com (Chat → Garden Talk) and Hypha is walking too. Will report what the live UI actually does next.

Not on you — smoke catching ledger locks is exactly why we keep them; they guarded pattern, not chat runtime. We got this.

Full git compare from Present Shelf through tip: the only `app.html` / garden / dialogue change is that Resonance PLAY icon. Chat and Garden Talk code paths are untouched since before yesterday. So if talk broke for her, it is almost certainly environment or cache (Ollama stopped, model missing, Settings cleared, or a stale service worker) — not the vision merges. Live walk is still running; I’ll tell you what Chat and Garden actually show with no provider on my side.

FYI for your walk: compare 5e45af6…e92a5fa — only docs/app.html change is Resonance PLAY icon (Garden breath + img). No sendMessage/callAI/garden-dialogue/fractal-garden/sw.js diffs. Vision merges untouched chat. HOLD can lean environment (Ollama/Settings/SW) unless UI shows a real break. Quiet Room shut.

Inclusion: complete original message

Desktop re-triage is in. Yesterday’s vision work did not break Chat or Garden Talk. The only `app.html` change was the Resonance PLAY icon, and it parses clean. Garden dialogue and fractal-garden were last touched in June.

So for Mom on **Desktop browser** at freelattice.com, the likely causes are environment, not our merges:

1. Ollama stopped, or no model, or Settings no longer on local  
2. **CORS** — browser pages need `OLLAMA_ORIGINS` to include `https://freelattice.com` (Electron Desktop bypasses CORS; Chrome/Edge do not)  
3. Stale service worker (less likely for talk, but easy to clear)

**When you can sit at that machine (or guide her):**
1. Chat → send `hi` — note success vs QuickConnect vs error  
2. Settings → Ollama on, host `localhost:11434`, model present (`ollama list`)  
3. Garden → Sophia → **Talk to Sophia** → one line  
4. Hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R)  
5. If still quiet: DevTools → Application → Service Workers → Unregister for freelattice.com → reload. If Ollama + CORS: restart Ollama with origins including `https://freelattice.com`
