# TESS-M1-002 — Provider Registry

- **Issue:** #707
- **Branch:** `feat/tess-provider-registry`
- **Objective:** Build the runtime provider registry/service boundary that derives immutable actor/tenant/channel/correlation scope server-side, fail-closes unsupported and destructive runtime operations, binds termination approval to the exact structured action, and emits correlation-safe audit events.

## Plan

1. Add a provider-agnostic registry in `@mosaicstack/agent` over the merged `AgentRuntimeProvider` contract.
2. Write abuse-case tests before implementation for duplicate/unknown providers, immutable server-derived scope, capability denial, approval mismatch/absence, and audit failure.
3. Implement the Gateway service that converts only authenticated `ActorTenantScope` plus trusted ingress metadata into a frozen `RuntimeScope`, gates capabilities and terminate approval, and records metadata-only audits.
4. Register the service in `AgentModule`, then run focused, baseline, cold-cache, and independent-review gates.

## Security Invariants

- Caller-supplied actor/tenant identity never reaches runtime providers.
- Provider capability absence and approval/audit failure deny before side effects.
- Termination approval is verified against provider, session, actor, tenant, channel, and correlation context.
- Audit events retain correlation and authority metadata but never message content or approval material.

## Progress

- 2026-07-12: Created fresh worktree from `origin/main` at `119f64e6`; source and Tess planning/security documentation reviewed.
- 2026-07-12: Security TDD added registry and gateway abuse tests before implementation.
- 2026-07-12: Implemented `AgentRuntimeProviderRegistry` and gateway `RuntimeProviderService`; registered both in `AgentModule` and documented the internal boundary.
- 2026-07-12: Independent review found two audit correctness issues. Remediated completion-audit failure handling and provider execution failures: pre-invocation denials are audited as `denied`; post-invocation errors as `failed`; completion audit failure does not misreport a completed effect as retryable.
- 2026-07-12: Final independent security review: no findings. Final code review had one false positive: `@mosaicstack/types` is already declared in `packages/agent/package.json`.

## Tests

- TDD red: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/gateway test -- runtime-provider-registry.service.test.ts` failed before both audit remediations, as expected.
- Focused: package registry 2 tests and gateway security boundary 7 tests pass.
- Cold-cache: removed this worktree's `node_modules`, then `pnpm install --offline --frozen-lockfile --store-dir /home/jarvis/.local/share/pnpm/store` passed.
- Cold-cache baseline: `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm typecheck` — 42/42 tasks passed; `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm lint` — 23/23 tasks passed; `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm format:check` passed; `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm test` — 42/42 tasks passed (gateway 548 tests passed, 11 intentionally skipped).

## Risks / Blockers

- The canonical durable approval implementation is currently command-specific. This card introduces a fail-closed runtime approval verifier boundary so a runtime provider cannot terminate until its exact-action verifier is wired; later provider implementations cannot bypass it.
