# Mission Manifest — Install UX Hardening

> Persistent document tracking full mission scope, status, and session history.
> Updated by the orchestrator at each phase transition and milestone completion.

## Mission

**ID:** install-ux-hardening-20260405
**Statement:** Close the remaining gaps in the Mosaic Stack first-run and teardown experience uncovered by the post-`cli-unification` audit. A user MUST be able to cleanly uninstall the stack; the wizard MUST make security-sensitive surfaces visible (hooks, password entry); and CI/headless installs MUST NOT hang on interactive prompts. The longer-term goal is a single cohesive first-run flow that collapses `mosaic wizard` and `mosaic gateway install` into one state-bridged experience.
**Phase:** Complete
**Current Milestone:** —
**Progress:** 3 / 3 milestones
**Status:** complete
**Last Updated:** 2026-04-05 (mission complete)
**Parent Mission:** [cli-unification-20260404](./archive/missions/cli-unification-20260404/MISSION-MANIFEST.md) (complete)

## Context

Post-merge audit of `cli-unification-20260404` (AC-1, AC-6) validated that the first-run wizard covers first user, password, admin tokens, gateway instance config, skills, and SOUL.md/USER.md init. The audit surfaced six gaps, grouped into three tracks of independent value.

## Success Criteria

- [x] AC-1: `mosaic uninstall` (top-level) cleanly reverses every mutation made by `tools/install.sh` — framework data, npm CLI, nested stack deps, runtime asset injections in `~/.claude/`, npmrc scope mapping, PATH edits. Dry-run supported. `--keep-data` preserves memory + user files + gateway DB. (PR #429)
- [x] AC-2: `curl … | bash -s -- --uninstall` works without requiring a functioning CLI. (PR #429)
- [x] AC-3: Password entry in `bootstrapFirstUser` is masked (no plaintext echo); confirm prompt added. (PR #431)
- [x] AC-4: Wizard has an explicit hooks stage that previews which hooks will be installed, asks for confirmation, and records the user's choice. `mosaic config hooks list|enable|disable` surface exists. (PR #431 — consent; PR #433 — finalize-stage gating now honors `state.hooks.accepted === false` end-to-end)
- [x] AC-5: `runConfigWizard` and `bootstrapFirstUser` accept a headless path (env vars + `--yes`) so `tools/install.sh --yes` + `MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1` completes end-to-end in CI without TTY. (PR #431)
- [x] AC-6: `mosaic wizard` and `mosaic gateway install` are collapsed into a single cohesive entry point with shared state; gateway install is now terminal stages 11 & 12 of `runWizard`, session-file bridge removed, `mosaic gateway install` preserved as a thin standalone wrapper. (PR #433)
- [x] AC-7: All milestones shipped as merged PRs with green CI and closed issues. (PRs #429, #431, #433)

## Risks

- **Reversal completeness** — runtime asset linking creates `.mosaic-bak-*` backups; uninstall must honor them vs. when to delete. Ambiguity without an install manifest.
- **npm global nested deps** — `npm uninstall -g @mosaicstack/mosaic` removes nested `@mosaicstack/*`, but ownership conflicts with explicitly installed peer packages (`@mosaicstack/gateway`, `@mosaicstack/memory`) need test coverage.
- **Headless bootstrap** — admin password via env var is a credential on disk; needs clear documentation that `MOSAIC_ADMIN_PASSWORD` is intended for CI-only and should be rotated post-install.

## Out of Scope

- `mosaicstack.dev/install.sh` vanity URL (blocked on marketing site work)
- Uninstall for the `@mosaicstack/gateway` database contents — delegated to `mosaic gateway uninstall` semantics already in place
- Signature/checksum verification of install scripts
