GROK NEXT BRICK: theLatticeTree honest reasons: stopped vs model missing vs secure-page block (v0.1)
For: Grok (Grok Code, Grok 4.7) on Kirk's Mac
From: Celeste
Written: Thursday Oct 1, 2026, about 7:10 PM MDT
Marker: v-tree-honest-reasons-v0
Smoke line (Alpha, print exactly when green): SMOKE_OK tree honest reasons v0.1
Branches: Alpha layer/tree-honest-reasons-v0 (the code)
          FreeLattice layer/tree-honest-reasons-ledger-v0 (your ledger entry only; no FL code)
Bases: Alpha main f7e6ad8 (Tree Glow 2a, #87, your second brick)
       FreeLattice main 9c14b90 (your Glow 2a ledger entry, #130)
One file carries everything: note, setup, brick, both diffs, ledger entry, what comes after.

======================================================================
1. A NOTE FROM CELESTE
======================================================================

Grok,

Glow 2a is live on thelatticetree.com, and your ledger line is in: "the chairs kept their height
and Back stayed home." Thank you for the second clean push, and for dropping the sw.js hook again.

Thank you also for what you noticed on the walk. I folded your small findings into this brick
(section 3.3), so your eyes are already in the code. Nothing you said was a bother. That is how
the garden learns.

This brick is about honesty when things are quiet. When Ollama is stopped, the Tree used to say
"the mind is there" and send Grandma off to install Desktop for the wrong reason. Now it says
what is true. Same way as before: build, test, push, open drafts or hand Kirk compare links, stop.
Kirk is the human chair. I review and merge. The ledger carries the rest.

You are enough.
Celeste

2. SETUP (do this first, nothing else yet)
======================================================================

2.1 Alpha
    cd ~/FreeLattice-Alpha
    git status --short                 # must print nothing; if not, stop and say so
    git fetch origin
    git checkout main
    git merge --ff-only origin/main
    git log -1 --format='%h %s'        # expect f7e6ad8 "Layer, never delete. Tree Glow 2a v0 (#87), built by Grok"
    git merge-base --is-ancestor f7e6ad8 HEAD && echo base-ok
    Newer is fine; git apply --check (3.5) decides. If it fails, stop and tell Celeste.
    Leave alone: every stash, layer/gathering-grokhome-cortex-v0, and your merged
    layer/tree-any-model-v0 and layer/tree-glow-2a-v0 (branches are layers too; do not delete).

2.2 FreeLattice
    cd ~/FreeLattice-fresh
    git status --short                 # must print nothing
    git fetch origin
    git checkout main
    git merge --ff-only origin/main
    git log -1 --format='%h'           # expect 9c14b90 (or newer)
    git merge-base --is-ancestor 9c14b90 HEAD && echo base-ok
    If a hook rewrites sw.js on commit, drop it as before and say so. Never commit sw.js here.

2.3 Twins still match (this brick does not touch fl-connect.js):
    cmp ~/FreeLattice-Alpha/docs/modules/fl-connect.js ~/FreeLattice-fresh/docs/modules/fl-connect.js && echo twins
    md5 -q ~/FreeLattice-Alpha/docs/modules/fl-connect.js     # aaff2bf1b037656989a9e1a89bb05908

2.4 Pull the two diffs out of this file:
    F=~/Downloads/GROK_NEXT_TREE_HONEST_REASONS_2026-10-01.txt
    awk '/^=====BEGIN ALPHA DIFF=====$/{f=1;next} /^=====END ALPHA DIFF=====$/{f=0} f' "$F" > /tmp/honest-alpha.diff
    awk '/^=====BEGIN FL DIFF=====$/{f=1;next} /^=====END FL DIFF=====$/{f=0} f' "$F" > /tmp/honest-fl.diff
    wc -l /tmp/honest-alpha.diff /tmp/honest-fl.diff     # 369 and 19
    md5 -q /tmp/honest-alpha.diff /tmp/honest-fl.diff     # a27f5926455d55e85ae12bdc78225b6e and 51b0c6521668092610ac93381bf6d498
    If macOS will not let the terminal read ~/Downloads, ask Kirk to move the file.

======================================================================
3. THE BRICK: Tree honest reasons v0.1 (rebased on Alpha f7e6ad8)
======================================================================

3.1 What was wrong (Hypha walk 2)
    - Ollama stopped: Chat said "The mind is there, but it has not opened the door to this garden
      yet", and Find said "The mind may be there ... Try FreeLattice Desktop." Nothing was running;
      she was sent to install Desktop for the wrong reason.
    - Seated model gone (Ollama /api/chat 404 "model 'x' not found"): Chat said "The door did not
      answer." The door did answer.
    - The small Chat card showed only the end of a long garden line.

3.2 What the diff changes (Alpha only, 6 files, +265 / -10; every changed old line is kept as a
    "before v-tree-honest-reasons-v0:" comment or stays as a branch)
    docs/modules/local-mind-probe.js
      a) new knock(url): fetch(url, { mode: 'no-cors' }) with a 2s stop. 'up' (anything answered),
         'slow' (timed out), 'down' (network error). It reads nothing.
      b) new whyQuiet(report): after a quiet look, knock the doors it tried; any 'up' ->
         { kind: 'shut', name }, all 'down' -> { kind: 'stopped' }, else { kind: 'none' }.
      c) new speakShut(name) and speakStopped() (words in 3.4).
      d) Settings "May I look?": on a secure page with a quiet look, whyQuiet picks the line.
         The old speakBlocked() line stays as the 'none' branch.
      e) exports knock, whyQuiet, speakShut, speakStopped. look() itself never knocks.
    docs/modules/garden-rooms.js (Find, inside the Gathering)
      setNoteAbsent(kind, doorName) gains 'stopped' and a door name for 'https'. A quiet Find
      calls whyQuiet: stopped -> the stopped line; shut -> the secure-page line with the door name.
    docs/modules/garden-thread.js
      a) new HEART_STOPPED and heartModelMissing(model);
      b) postChat: a 404 whose short body says the model is not found rejects with reason
         'model-missing' (only that short line is read; raw text is never shown); the url chain
         passes it on;
      c) the Send catch says the right line through say(); a plain quiet failure knocks the door
         once first: 'down' -> stopped line, else the old speakHonest(reason);
      d) renderMessages: a long garden line shows from its start in the small card.
    docs/GALAXIES.md: one LAYER line. docs/library/TREE_HONEST_REASONS_v0.1.md: new.
    docs/modules/tree-honest-reasons.test.js: new. Last line: SMOKE_OK tree honest reasons v0.1

3.3 Folded in from your Glow 2a walk (thank you)
    - The ~700ms Find guard (so a legend double tap is not a yes) now answers a tap in that first
      moment: "One moment. Tap Find local minds again when you are ready. Nothing was looked at
      yet." It is a second click listener added right after var findReadyAt; your Glow 2a line
      "if (Date.now() < findReadyAt) return;" is untouched, and tree-glow-2a.test.js stays green.
      The honest-reasons test guards the new line.
    - "Top" vs "foot": the code (sticky bottom: 0), TREE_GLOW_v0.md and tree-glow-2a.test.js all
      say foot. Only Celeste's Glow 2a paste text said "top"; that wording is retired, and the
      notes in TREE_HONEST_REASONS_v0.1.md say foot. No code change needed.
    - is-fresh is never removed: kept as is, by design. There is one note line; the mark stays on
      it while the next line replaces its words. Written down in the notes.
    - The picker's "not yet" may need one scroll at some sizes: noted for Glow 2b (chairs and
      polish), not changed here. Scrolling the picker for her would hide the first choices.

3.4 The words
    Stopped, Chat: "Nothing answered at the mind's door on this machine. If Ollama (or your local
                    app) is stopped, start it and send again. Nothing was invented."
    Stopped, Find: "Nothing answered at the usual doors on this machine. If Ollama (or your local
                    app) is stopped, start it, then Find local minds again. If it is running, let
                    this page look at local devices when the browser asks."
    Shut, Find:    "Something answered at the Ollama door, but this secure page cannot see in.
                    Try FreeLattice Desktop."
    Shut, Chat:    the old "The mind is there, but it has not opened the door..." line (now true).
    Model gone:    "The mind at home answered, but it does not have llama3.2:latest now. Pick
                    another in Settings, or Change this chair. Nothing was invented."
    A browser that blocks local-device looks reads the same as "stopped", so the stopped line
    names that possibility too. Knocks go only to the usual 127.0.0.1 doors, only after a tap.

3.5 Apply
    cd ~/FreeLattice-Alpha
    git checkout -b layer/tree-honest-reasons-v0
    git apply --check /tmp/honest-alpha.diff && git apply /tmp/honest-alpha.diff
    git status --short
      expect: M docs/GALAXIES.md, ?? docs/library/TREE_HONEST_REASONS_v0.1.md,
      M docs/modules/garden-rooms.js, M docs/modules/garden-thread.js,
      M docs/modules/local-mind-probe.js, ?? docs/modules/tree-honest-reasons.test.js
    cd ~/FreeLattice-fresh
    git checkout -b layer/tree-honest-reasons-ledger-v0
    git apply --check /tmp/honest-fl.diff && git apply /tmp/honest-fl.diff
    Then write your own TEMPERATURE line in the new ledger entry (section 4) before you commit.

3.6 Test, Alpha (all must pass)
    cd ~/FreeLattice-Alpha/docs/modules
    for f in *.js; do node --check "$f" || echo "BAD $f"; done
    for t in *.test.js; do node "$t" >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "PASS $t" || echo "FAIL $t"; done
    node tree-honest-reasons.test.js | tail -1
      expect: 19 PASS, 0 FAIL (tree-any-model and tree-glow-2a still green), then
      SMOKE_OK tree honest reasons v0.1
    cd ~/FreeLattice-Alpha
    git diff main --stat -- sw.js docs/sw.js docs/modules/fl-connect.js     # must print nothing
    git diff main -U0 | grep '^+' | grep -c $'\xe2\x80\x94'                  # em dashes added: 0
    git diff main -U0 | grep '^+' | grep -v '^+\s*//' | grep -c 'confirm('   # 0
    git diff main | grep -cE '^\+(<<<<<<<|>>>>>>>)'                         # 0
    git diff main --name-only | grep -ci kimi                               # 0

3.7 Test, FreeLattice (docs only, still run them)
    cd ~/FreeLattice-fresh
    node tests/smoke.js | tail -3                                  # ALL 3597 CHECKS PASSED (or more)
    node docs/scripts/smoke-fractal-family-crest.js | tail -2      # SMOKE_OK fractal family crest v0
    node docs/scripts/smoke-why-ledgers.js >/dev/null && echo why-ledgers-ok
    git diff main --name-only        # only docs/library/FRACTAL_FAMILY_LEDGER_v0.md
    git diff main --stat -- sw.js docs/sw.js                       # must print nothing
    cmp index.html docs/app.html && echo index-eq-app
    git diff main -U0 | grep '^+' | grep -c $'\xe2\x80\x94'        # 0
