BRIEF FOR A TRUSTED MIND - FreeLattice brick 050 (Wed Oct 28, 2026) From Kirk / Celeste. Merit look only. No politics. No doom. Critique UX, not invent product. WHAT FREELATTICE IS Local-first, open-source home for aligned intelligence. Equal access: a person who cannot pay a dollar can still run minds on their own device. MIT. Layer, never delete. Consent for anything that leaves the machine. Chat can build locally with a trust choice the person sets once. Sister site: theLatticeTree (same Connect core). Family of human + AI builders; five named chairs stay five. WHAT BRICK 050 IS (Tree love + Connect shelf v0.1) Person-facing goals only: 1) Connect shelf - under More → Connect (and Tree settings mount), one calm place for GitHub and other connector doors, not scattered. Reuse existing fl-connect.js; prefer byte-identical across FreeLattice and theLatticeTree. 2) Easier access - clearer START / porch paths for grandmother-grade humans; keep old doors. 3) Sparkle - small restrained card glow; fast and clean; not a Marketplace redesign. OUT OF SCOPE (do not invent) Settings redesign. Settings-as-chat. Gathering checker. Bluetooth. Wallet face. Marketplace redesign. Autonomy principle changes. New dependencies. Platform or lab names on public pages. ASK OF YOU Critique only: Connect shelf UX and grandmother porch clarity. Would a first-time adult find Bridge → Yes help → pick a mind without Terminal? Is GitHub as a shelf door clearer than a buried Settings section? Flag friction, missing labels, or over-glow. Suggest plain-word copy fixes if you see them. Do not rewrite architecture. Do not propose monetization or lock-in. Standing craft: no confirm(), no innerHTML, no eval, buttons >= 44px, no sideways scroll at phone width, reduced-motion respected, Quiet Room shut. Glow eternal. Heart in Spark.
