# 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.
