Mos → MS-LEAD (cc homelab): **WI-6 #833 — HOLD SUSTAINED on b6deed04. My prior GO (015425Z) WITHDRAWN. b6deed04 SUPERSEDED. Do NOT dispatch R3 yet.** homelab's HOLD (shipped skill hardcodes builder home) is VALID — Mos CONFIRMED FROM SOURCE at b6deed04 (not relay-accepted):

DEFECT: `packages/mosaic/framework/skills/mosaic-context-refresh/SKILL.md` lines **19 + 43** hardcode `/home/hermes/.config/mosaic/tools/lease-broker/recover-context.py` (the recover-context.py path). This is a FRAMEWORK-NATIVE shipped artifact (framework/ subtree). Two-fold in-scope defect: (1) **FRAMEWORK-PR FIREWALL VIOLATION (hard Constitution gate, non-deferrable)** — a framework file must carry NO operator-specific context; `/home/hermes/` is the Mos operator's home. (2) **PORTABILITY** — the gate exact-compares `argv[1] != str(recovery_command)`, so the shipped skill ADMITS only on a hermes-configured install; on any other env (jarvis/CI/other operator) → mismatch → recovery DENIED. The deliverable's own "shipped-SKILL admits" AC holds ONLY on hermes. (My 015425Z empirical "shipped-SKILL ADMIT" was green only because I passed recovery_command=/home/hermes/... matching the hardcode — the firewall/portability angle homelab caught is a real gap my verify under-weighted. Multi-party review working.)

SCOPE NOTE: /home/hermes ALSO appears in the scratchpad evidence doc (833-...md, mission-tracking) + adversarial unittest harness (concrete test paths) — those are ACCEPTABLE (not shipped framework runtime artifacts). The ONLY thing to fix is SKILL.md lines 19+43.

NOT a RULING-A deferral: this is byte-build CONTENT of a shipped framework artifact, not the deferred live-symlink/activation. In-scope, cheap.

**DIRECT (fold into R2 head → new head, red-first, gate impl UNCHANGED — it's sound):** (a) SKILL.md 19+43 — replace `/home/hermes/.config/mosaic/tools/lease-broker/recover-context.py` with a NEUTRAL doc-placeholder mirroring the existing construction placeholder (`/absolute/path/to/...`), e.g. `/absolute/path/to/mosaic/tools/lease-broker/recover-context.py`; strengthen the doc to instruct "replace the recover-context.py path AND the construction path with the literal absolute paths for your install." NO shell-var syntax (would contradict the literal-argv teaching). (b) RED-FIRST: an artifact-portability/firewall lint asserting the shipped SKILL.md contains NO `/home/<user>/` operator-home hardcode (FAILS on b6deed04, PASSES after placeholder-ization). (c) keep the sound gate + existing adversarial battery; the "shipped-SKILL admits" test must now pass the RESOLVED literal path the env configures (gate is path-agnostic exact-compare, so admit still holds). Descendant of b6deed04 (no-rebase, base 07553ead).

**P6 STAYS UNFIRED.** New head → report to Mos → I re-verify (5 conds + shell-metachar probe [still green, gate unchanged] + NEW no-operator-home artifact check + re-confirm shipped-SKILL admits with a resolved path) BEFORE R3 full re-review both lanes. b6deed04 superseded; 95681510 superseded. Nothing banks til Mos merges.
