Hello,
It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.
I'll start right away.
For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Oops, actually, he did... you can see it under the blue foil in one of the pictures.
Surely @Ghostwriter has an explanation for us, or maybe he’s currently pulling up his laminate floor [emoji20] To be honest, I’m afraid I’ll have to start with your second statement tomorrow. I went by the rule of thumb that a 1cm (0.4 inch) gap to the wall is enough – but Dr. Google says that transition strips between rooms are mandatory in about 90% of cases – I just thought it looked better that way.I wanted to lay the flooring through the small hallway connecting Kids’ Room 1 and Kids’ Room 2 – the longest planks are about 6m (20 feet) long – the indoor climate should be quite similar in both rooms – do you really think that’s not possible at all?

My laminate instructions specify a 1cm (0.4 inch) expansion gap, and it can be installed up to a length of 12m (39 feet) and a width of 9m (30 feet). Check those details. [emoji3]According to the "package insert," my laminate comes in 10m (33 feet) lengths... Google mentions varying indoor climate conditions—but I’ve also found a few others like me who didn’t have any issues :/W

However, any existing expansion joint in the screed must be continued.

Hello,
I think this is completely unproblematic. Since the laminate flooring is installed as a floating floor, there is no risk of cracking like with tiles. With a fixed connection to the subfloor, such as tiles or glued hardwood flooring, you need to create expansion gaps, but this is not necessary with floating installation. Movement of the floor is not an issue in this case.
