Grammar lite, the false-friend list, the daily invitation and the offline
miscollocations — the four remaining §5–§6 items, all client-side and all
alive on a box that cannot reach the model.
The offline collocations forced a schema change. `type` had been doubling
as the answer to "which engine found this" — `mechanics` meant offline —
and that stops being true the moment an offline rule proposes a
collocation. Migration 0013 adds `source` (llm | local) and every pass now
scopes its DELETE by engine; without it the coach silently wiped every
offline chunk on the page. Existing rows backfill by type, so a pre-0013
collocation row is claimed as the coach's, which it was: the offline list
did not exist yet.
The rule pack is hand-curated rather than mined, and the entries left out
are the point — `married with` is wrong until "married with children",
`arrive to` wants at or in depending on the noun. A pack running on every
keystroke must not correct correct writing.

Two halves of the same idea, both read out of work Petal already
records.
Planting: an accepted collocation is a learnable chunk, so it becomes a
phrase card. The scheduler didn't need to know — a three-word chunk
climbs the ladder exactly like a looked-up word. What needed care was
deciding what *isn't* a chunk (single words are word choice; a
six-word-plus "collocation" is a rewritten sentence, and sentences make
miserable flashcards), and that the example must be the *corrected*
sentence — the stored draft still holds the phrasing she just left
behind. Re-accepting the same chunk leaves the existing card alone
rather than resetting a schedule it has been climbing. The whole thing
is best-effort: accepting an edit must never fail because a flashcard
couldn't be made.
The growth journal: kept this month beside kept the month before, the
phrasing that stuck, the patterns that faded. The queries were the easy
part; the honesty is the feature. "Stuck" needs the phrase in a *second*
document, because one document is just the edit where she left it.
"Faded" says nothing at all unless she has been writing lately —
otherwise a month away from Petal comes back to her as progress, which
is the one way this could lie. And a suggestion had to start recording
when she *decided* it, not when the model proposed it, so 0012 adds
resolved_at and backfills the old rows to their created_at.
It lives as a second tab in the garden, and it feeds the kitten: after
an accept she now sometimes hears something true of her alone, once per
line, half the time, never waited for.

Phase 12 — collocation coach: a third suggestion family for gentle
"natives usually say…" hints on non-native word pairings, reusing the
existing runPass/pendingScope/rail machinery.
- llm/collocation.go (RunCollocation, 25s floor, reuses ParseCheckpoint)
+ collocationSystemPrompt/CollocationMessages (warm, Mandarin gloss,
defers grammar/spelling to the grammar family)
- migration 0005 rebuilds the suggestions table to extend the type CHECK
(SQLite can't ALTER a CHECK)
- collocationScope + CollocationLimit + POST /{id}/collocation
- fix: grammarScope was `type != 'voice'` and would wipe the new
collocation flags; now `type NOT IN ('voice','collocation')`
- frontend: --color-blossom, "Make it sound natural 🌸" pill,
collocating/runCollocation in useCheckpoint, StatusBar dot
Phase 13 — vocabulary garden: capture looked-up words and surface them
for gentle spaced repetition.
- new internal/vocab package: migration 0006 (vocab_words, SM-2-lite
columns, doc_id ON DELETE SET NULL, UNIQUE(user_id,word)),
scheduler.go (Leitner ladder 1/3/7/16/35 then geometric; gentle
"again", no streak-shaming), handlers (capture-upsert/list/due/
review/delete, owner-scoped, SQLite-side datetime math)
- auto-capture on word lookup (dictionary-known words only, captures
the surrounding sentence + doc_id) + 🤍/💚 toggle on WordCard
- GardenPanel: blossom grid (bloom by reps), flashcard review (sentence
blanked, flip, again/good/easy, recognition↔production), sleepy-kitten
footer; opened from a global 🌷 header button
Tests: TestCollocationPassCoexists, vocab scheduler + handlers, db CHECK
extended. go build/vet/test + tsc + vite + vitest (51/51) clean;
migration verified against a copy of the live DB; live backend smoke
walked the full vocab lifecycle + the warm-502 collocation path.
