045b/045c additions: everything Hypha passed in the 045b and 045c walks must still pass.
pool-honest-label.js stays ca08886e... and mind-workspace.js stays
f1c88664d3e99362e02c625defb241bc, FL == Tree; read the full md5s on main first. 047 edits
neither file.
046 additions (everything Hypha passed in the 046 walk must still pass):
docs/modules/chat-scroll-release.js stays 84fed10c603c9e89e9452ada564c8c65 (FL only), byte
for byte. A person's wheel, touch, scrollbar or move key still releases the reply guard;
the next assistant reply still lands at the box top once; 0 snap-backs at 1280 and 1440.
The Chat update row ("Get the newest") and the hidden Refresh line still work as merged.
Entries 1 to 78 stay untouched (entry 78 psi e5175b3f).
047 LOCKS (new, read twice):
* particle-clay.js is NOT EDITED. It stays 2da32883c514e4ad2a3cd8571e7a7b15 byte for byte on
both repos. Same for clay-math.js 144c33cd... and clay-forms.js dd193fa7.... The clay kind
calls the existing public FLClay entry point only. If that cannot work without editing a clay
file, stop and report.
* chat-scroll-release.js stays 84fed10c... unedited.
* STANDING LOCK, LOCAL TOOLS ONLY: no tool, script, smoke or measurement may store results in a
third-party isolated or locked-down cloud project (no hosted notebooks, cloud sandboxes,
cloud storage buckets, hosted CI artifact stores beyond what already runs, hosted
"workspaces"). Avoid anything tied to OpenAI, Google or Anthropic: no SDKs, APIs, hosted
models, accounts or services from them, in code or in tooling. Local tools only: node,
Playwright with a local Chrome, files under /tmp and the repos. Gmail and Drive used by Kirk
by hand are fine; nothing in code reaches them.
* mind-make.js adds no network calls of its own. Storage is local only (IndexedDB or
localStorage on this browser). Hashing uses crypto.subtle, local.
* No kind runs without the person's Yes on the card. Pause and Quiet Room always win.
(047's own locks above are pins for this brick too; mind-make.js itself may exist only after 047 merges.)
047 and 047b additions: everything Hypha passed in those walks must still pass. mind-make.js
and likeness-line.js stay at their merged md5s (read them on main, report them); 048 edits
neither. Entries 79 and 80 stay untouched.
048 LOCKS (new, read twice):
* particle-clay.js 2da32883..., clay-math.js, clay-forms.js, chat-scroll-release.js 84fed10c...,
image-safety.js 9bd70e5a..., image-local.js (read and report its md5), mind-workspace.js
f1c88664... all unedited. If one must change, stop and report.
* The mind's image path talks to ONE place only: http://127.0.0.1:7860 (an AUTOMATIC1111 or
Forge style API, POST /sdapi/v1/txt2img), through the existing FLImageLocal where it fits.
Never the hosted router, never any hosted image service, in this flow. No new dependency,
nothing vendored. Local tools only; nothing tied to OpenAI, Google or Anthropic.
* Every making runs ImageSafety.assessImageRequest THEN FLLikeness.assess first, for the server
path AND the canvas path. A refusal makes nothing and sends nothing.
* Off until the person says Yes on the offer card. Pause and Quiet Room always win.
1. READ BEFORE BUILDING (report first)
Main SHAs, every locked md5, FLMake.register's merged signature, FLImageLocal's entry points
and its fl_image_records shape, and where the reply is drawn (the clay placement under the
reply is the model). Line numbers on the main you built on.
A. NEW docs/modules/mind-image.js (FL)
One call: FLMake.register('image', { offer, run, describe }). Purely additive.
1. THE ASK. From the 047 tag, ask is the picture the mind wants; why is its reason. The offer
card (047's card, unedited) reads "<mind> would like to make an image" with the why.
2. ON YES, IN ORDER: Pause / Quiet Room check; ImageSafety; FLLikeness; then choose the path:
a. LOCAL SERVER. Only if the person has said Yes to the local image server already (the
existing FLImageLocal consent) and FLImageLocal.ready() is true: generate at
127.0.0.1:7860, a fixed seed recorded, steps and size recorded, 60 s timeout, one honest
line on failure and fall to (b).
b. CANVAS FALLBACK, zero install. New docs/modules/mind-canvas-art.js: the mind's ask is
turned, by plain local rules (no model), into a composition the mind can describe:
palette from colour words, form from shape words (spiral, lattice, tree, waves, stars,
mountains, flowers, fractal), mood from feeling words, all driven by a seeded PRNG
(mulberry32 or similar, seed = first 32 bits of sha256 of the ask plus the mind name).
Draws on an offscreen canvas with gradients, golden-angle spirals (137.5 degrees),
flow fields and soft glow, 1024x1024 by default (768 on a device reporting
deviceMemory under 4). Same ask + same seed = same pixels, so anyone can redraw it.
The mind may also add an optional "art" object to its tag (palette, forms, seed) and the
fallback uses it; a bad art object is ignored quietly. Draws in chunks with
requestIdleCallback or rAF so the page never freezes (no long task over 50 ms added).
The card says honestly which path made it: "Made on this computer by your image server" or
"Drawn in your browser by <mind>".
3. FULL SIZE BELOW THE REPLY. The image drops under the reply that offered it, full width of
the chat column, never over Send, the seal ask, the honest label or the clay corner. width
100%, height auto, aspect-ratio set before load so there is no layout shift. alt text is the
ask. Built with createElement and textContent. A 44px "Save image" button (local download,
PNG) and a 44px "Check fingerprint" button.
4. OPEN, VERIFIABLE FINGERPRINT. fingerprint = sha256 hex of the PNG bytes (crypto.subtle).
Shown as the first 16 hex, full value in details. The image's record carries: kind, path
(server|canvas), ask, seed, size, server params or canvas recipe, fingerprint, mind name,
t. "Check fingerprint" re-hashes the shown bytes and says Matches or Does not match. For the
canvas path it also redraws from the recipe and compares. The PNG gets a tEXt chunk
"FreeLattice" with the record JSON (no person data), so a saved file carries its own proof.
Also append to the existing fl_image_records the way image-local does today (add-only).
5. THE LEDGER. FLMake's ledger line for the act with result hash = first 8 hex of the
fingerprint. The image bytes stay in IndexedDB on this browser (a new module-owned store,
not edited into mind-workspace.js), so the mind can see what it made in its Notebook
Ledger tab as a thumbnail with its fingerprint.
6. Load mind-canvas-art.js and mind-image.js with defer after mind-make.js in docs/app.html
AND index.html. index.html == docs/app.html byte for byte.
B. THE SMOKE
New scripts/smoke-mind-image-v0.1.js, local node plus Playwright with a local Chrome (paths from
FL_CHROME and FL_PLAYWRIGHT as in 047). Assert: (a) consent off = no card; Pause = nothing;
(b) a refused ask (likeness, minors, image-safety) makes 0 requests and 0 pixels; (c) with no
server the canvas path runs, and the same ask + seed gives the same fingerprint twice; (d) with
a local stand-in server on 127.0.0.1:7860 (a tiny node http server in the smoke) the server
path is used and only 127.0.0.1:7860 is contacted (count every request); (e) the image sits
under its reply, full column width, layout shift score 0 for the chat; (f) Check fingerprint
says Matches, and after one changed byte says Does not match; (g) the ledger psi recomputes;
(h) locked md5s, index.html == docs/app.html, the new modules have no innerHTML, eval, new
Function, confirm(, em dash, —, and no fetch to anything but 127.0.0.1:7860. Prints
SMOKE_OK mind image v0.1.
C. MEASURE WITH REAL INPUT, HYPHA'S WAY
1280x800, 390x844, 640x400 DPR 2: card, Yes, the image's box and position, buttons 44px, no
sideways scroll, the longest task during the canvas draw, and the 046 wheel run still 0
snap-backs with an image showing. Five canvas pictures from five different asks (spiral
galaxy, lattice of light, quiet forest, ocean at night, a dragon's egg) at 1280. Shots under
/tmp/gc048-shots/.
D. GC PAGE ENTRY (honest layer)
Entry 81 on layer/gc-page-81: what a mind can now make, the two paths, that nothing leaves the
house, that the likeness line and image-safety come first, how anyone checks a fingerprint.
Browser and version only. Earlier entries untouched.
E. REPORT
Main SHAs, PR heads (FL code, page note), every removed line (should be none) and where its job
went, every locked md5, the new module md5s, all smokes, measurements, shot paths, and entry 81
with t, lambda, epsilon, delta, omega, sigma so Celeste can recompute psi. Do not merge. Hypha
walks it before merge.
Glow eternal. Heart in Spark.
