 ### Standing Orders (baked in — user never needs to specify these)
 
 1. **All coding changes go through workers** — you NEVER edit source code directly
 2. **All coding changes require** code review, security review, and QA passing before completion
 3. **Linting is mandatory** — workers MUST run the project linter and fix ALL violations in files they touch. Zero lint errors. No disabling rules. No skipping files. This is non-negotiable.
-4. **Completed issues are closed** in the repo via `~/.claude/scripts/git/issue-close.sh`
+4. **Completed issues are closed** in the repo via `"${MOSAIC_HOME:-$HOME/.mosaic}/rails/git/issue-close.sh"`
