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 021 (Wednesday Oct 7, 2026, MDT). Tree first walk v0 (theLatticeTree / Alpha).
Kirk: "I would love a walkthrough of theLatticeTree for everyone." Independent; may go with 020.
Apply-checked on a fresh Alpha main b56134df, alone, on top of 015, and stacked after 020: clean; all docs/modules/*.test.js pass.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. WHAT
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A new static page docs/walk.html: "A first walk", eight steps, one door each:
Garden, the Gathering (Find local minds / May I look?), no-mind-yet help (Ollama, plus
ollama run hf.co/USER/REPO for a Hugging Face GGUF), Chat, Nursery, Settings, the galaxies
(Art, Workshop, Learn, Research), Shared shoulder. No script, no network, no fake buttons.
One link added to the Garden's galaxies panel, after Marketplace:
  <a class="first-walk" href="walk.html">begin · a first walk</a>  (verb/name spans)
That is one tap from the Garden: galaxies, then a first walk.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. FILES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  docs/walk.html                         new
  docs/index.html                        one line in .galaxies-panel
  docs/modules/tree-first-walk.test.js   new smoke

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. STEPS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  cd ~/FreeLattice-Alpha && git checkout main && git pull --ff-only
  git checkout -b layer/tree-first-walk-v0
  md5 ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_021_TREE_FIRST_WALK_2026-10-07.fl.diff
  git apply --check ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_021_TREE_FIRST_WALK_2026-10-07.fl.diff && git apply ~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_021_TREE_FIRST_WALK_2026-10-07.fl.diff
  node docs/modules/tree-first-walk.test.js
  for t in docs/modules/*.test.js; do node "$t" >/dev/null || echo "FAIL $t"; done

----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. WALK IT (eyes are the proof)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Fresh profile. Garden, galaxies, "a first walk". Every door opens its room.
  Check each step's words against what the room really shows today. If a word is wrong
  (for example a light was renamed), fix the walk's word, not the room, and note it.
  At 390 px: no sideways scroll; the code lines wrap.
  Later, not now: the same link on room pages' galaxies panels; a "first time?" hint.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. LOCKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  #lumino-menu stays hidden. #place-veil-close stays. No Quiet Room words in UI.
  Five skies stay five (the walk is a page, not a galaxy, and is not a luminos).
  fl-connect.js untouched. No em dashes, no confirm(, no innerHTML.
  Celeste merges; GC opens one PR (code) plus one gc.html page note PR.

Temperature: welcoming, eight taps, nothing pretended.
