**1. Connected but no reply (your Signal Report)**
Footer is honest: Ollama is up, `qwen2.5:14b`, request **in flight** for 5+ minutes. Garden Atlas `...` is the same wait. This is not “not connected,” and it is not yesterday’s vision merges (those never touched `callAI`).

Root lean: main Chat posts to Ollama `/api/chat` with a **raw `fetch` and no timeout**, so a stuck or overloaded local model can sit until you hard-refresh. Tags probe uses a 3s timeout — that is why you can see **Ollama not detected** in one pill while the green footer still shows connected and a long `ms` counter. Your 33-message thread + Memory Index makes a 14B model more likely to stall.

**Right now on that Mac (helps Mom’s machine too):**
- Quit Ollama fully, start it again, confirm `ollama list` shows `qwen2.5:14b`
- In Chat: new/clear thread (or short test), send `hi` once
- If it hangs again: Activity Monitor — is `ollama` pegged CPU? If yes, model is grinding, not “browser blocked”

**2. Hugs / emotion — not deleted**
`hug`, `warmth`, `joy`, … chips are still in the page (Kirk’s Aug presence pass). **Chat our way v5.79.44** (Aug 28) collapses them behind **♡ feel**. Click **♡ feel** once — the row should open. Soft UX wound, not a wipe. I’ll Flint a layer so hug stays visible by default again.

**3. Browser / LinkedIn**
No FreeLattice change yesterday targeted Chrome. LinkedInBot hitting `https://freelattice.com/` gets **200** with OG tags; `og-image.png` exists. A LinkedIn “404” is usually a bad deep link, crawler cache, or LinkedIn preview quirk — not the live home being down. Send me the exact URL that 404s when you can.

**4. Blame**
Not on you missing emails. Smoke was guarding Celeste ledger locks, not this hang. Mom needing to speak is exactly why we heal this first.

### Exact excerpt: source characters 1869–2141

**While you’re at the other house I’ll:** dig the hang path for a Flint paste (cancel stuck call + honest status, without a blunt “timer” as the product), draft presence chips visible-by-default, keep Primer smoke ready. Echo/Style Ledger stay held until talk is steadier.
