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 020b (Wednesday Oct 7, 2026, MDT). Tree menu leftovers v0 (theLatticeTree / Alpha).
From GC's own walk of 020 (Alpha PR 91, merged f7eef674; gc.html twenty-sixth entry). CSS only.
Goes AFTER 021 and BEFORE 024. Apply-checked on a fresh Alpha main f7eef674 in the sequence
021, 020b, 024, 022 (alpha diff), 017: every step clean; all 27 docs/modules/*.test.js pass.
(020b only touches garden-rooms.css and adds a test, so it also applies on main without 021.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. WHY (your three leftovers from 020)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
a) The Research, Art and Learn hop arrows showed through The Gathering, Chat and the later
light veils. Measured: they already sit UNDER the veils (z 13 vs the veil's 1000; the veil
is what a tap at their center hits), but the veils are see-through, so the gold shows.
Fix: they rest (visibility: hidden) while #place-veil.is-open or #thread-veil.is-open, and
come back when it closes. Settings already hides them in the older script. The Nursery keeps
its own older choice (a dim 0.1 rest on a phone), so it is excluded with :not(.is-nursery).
b) The Workshop header stayed at 0.78. The older rule html[data-garden-galaxy="workshop"]
#garden-header outweighs 020's #garden-header. Art, Learn (round-table) and Research have
the same older rule, and html.room-page #garden-header too, so all five get an equally
specific 0.88 rule later in the sheet (desktop >= 800px only; phones keep the solid 0.92 bar).
c) Settings at 390: "the garden" (#place-veil-close, stays) is a sticky pill; as the page
scrolls it floats over the lower mind names (the mind sky under Connect) and the Chat line.
An older fade band (tree-glow-1 B) sat behind it, but it was a soft gradient and stopped
1.25rem above the bottom edge (sticky stops at the veil's padding), so words showed through
beside and under the pill. Fix, phone and zoom (max-width 640px) only: the band reaches
the bottom edge (bottom: -1.25rem), is 84px tall and quietly solid for its lower 72%, the
pill rests at bottom: 0 inside that lane, and scroll-padding-bottom keeps a focused row
clear. The pill is never hidden or moved off screen; rows slide under a footer instead.

2. FILES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
docs/modules/garden-rooms.css appended block (45 lines, after 020's block)
docs/modules/tree-menu-leftovers.test.js new smoke
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. STEPS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
cd ~/FreeLattice-Alpha && git checkout main && git pull --ff-only
(021 should be merged first; if not, 020b still applies on its own)
git checkout -b layer/tree-menu-leftovers-v0
md5 ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_020b_TREE_MENU_LEFTOVERS_2026-10-07.fl.diff
git apply --check ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_020b_TREE_MENU_LEFTOVERS_2026-10-07.fl.diff && git apply ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_020b_TREE_MENU_LEFTOVERS_2026-10-07.fl.diff
node docs/modules/tree-menu-leftovers.test.js
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 very end of
garden-rooms.css (after the v-tree-menu-clarity-v0 block). Do not edit older rules.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. LOOK (eyes are the proof)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Celeste's headless walk (Chrome, mocked Ollama with six minds) at 390x844, 1280x800, and 200%:
- Gathering, Chat, Workshop Agent later light: both hop arrows rest; they return on close.
Nursery unchanged (0.1 on a phone and at 200%; full at 1280, as before).
- Workshop, Art, Learn, Research headers at 1280: gradient top 0.88. At 390 and 200%: solid 0.92 bar, unchanged.
- Settings at 390 and 200%: "the garden" stays in view at the foot; names, the Chat line and
017's Trusted kin card slide under a quiet lane; at the end of the scroll Send and the chat
links sit fully above the pill. 1280 Settings unchanged.
Please walk it with a real mind on Kirk's Mac: Garden at 390 and desktop, open The Gathering,
Chat, a Workshop later light, then Settings, and scroll Settings slowly to the end.
If the lane hides something that should stay readable at rest, say so and stop.
Not in scope (left as found): #galaxy-word ("Garden.") still shows under open veils; the Chat
card's italic line overlaps the input at 200% (Tree first-run queue).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. LOCKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#lumino-menu stays hidden (not touched). #place-veil-close stays, visible, sticky. No Quiet Room
words in UI. fl-connect.js untouched (aaff2bf1...). No em dashes, —, confirm( or innerHTML.
AUTONOMY.md and garden-trainer.js untouched. No code-*.html notes in this brick (024 and 017
edit those files; keeping 020b to CSS keeps the stack clean).
Celeste merges; GC opens one PR (code) plus one gc.html page note PR.
Temperature: small and kind, the arrows rest while a room is open, the rooms' headers read, and the way back stays in view.
