# FCM-M3-002 — Reconciler lifecycle acceptance gates

- **Task / issue:** FCM-M3-002 / mosaicstack/stack#758
- **Branch:** `test/758-reconciler-lifecycle-gates`
- **Required starting head:** `499090508ef1d768660e4d54e7934cbcf13cb1cd`
- **Required starting tree:** `2f1bb7fed48291f3f7ba8b21c2b52491aa14fe2b`
- **Scope:** isolated acceptance coverage and card-required evidence/tracking only; no live fleet, systemd, tmux, session, site, migration, canary, deployment, runtime, connector, or remote action.
- **Budget:** use the task estimate of 25K as the working cap; keep the delta to one coherent acceptance suite plus required task/scratchpad evidence. No production change unless a failing reproducer proves an in-scope defect.

## Intake evidence

- Clean exact local branch/head/tree verified before editing.
- `origin/test/758-reconciler-lifecycle-gates` fetched and verified at the same required head.
- The Mosaic PR wrapper reported no open pull requests, so no open-PR branch collision exists.
- Parent issue #758 is open and remains intentionally open through M5.
- Requirements loaded from `docs/PRD.md` FCM requirements and `AC-FCM-05`, `docs/TASKS.md` FCM DAG, the M3 rows in `docs/fleet/FLEET-CONFIG-DOCS-IA-CHECKLIST.md`, and the FCM-M3-001 implementation scratchpad.

## Objective

Add broad, behavior-oriented acceptance evidence around the shipped local reconciler contracts. Exercise only injected fake systemd/tmux adapters and temporary filesystem fixtures. Prove exact ownership/targeting, persisted stopped-state safety, truthful partial-failure recovery, rollback behavior, and stable command JSON/exit outcomes without touching live services or sessions.

## Acceptance mapping and evidence

| FCM-M3-002 acceptance concern | Delivered isolated evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Systemd/tmux lifecycle | `fleet-reconciler.acceptance.spec.ts` drives apply, reconcile, stop, restart, status, and recovery reconcile through one stateful injected fake host. The fake models exact systemd effects and tmux session observations; no host commands run. |
| Drift | Canonical roster-v2 YAML drives the Commander `fleet status` boundary and classifies `missing-session`, `unexpected-session`, and `disabled-running`, including combined drift, while asserting observation emits no lifecycle mutation. |
| Exact default/named socket targeting | Canonical v2 requires an explicit non-empty named socket; the parser rejects missing/empty values and the Commander acceptance path asserts exact `-L mosaic-fleet` targeting. A separate canonical legacy-v1 roster loader plus runtime-transport path proves a socket-less compatibility roster targets the literal tmux default server with no `-L`. No unreachable empty-socket v2 fixture is used. |
| Unmanaged-session classification | Stateful fixtures report sorted `coder0-shadow`/`unmanaged` sessions, then prove an exact roster stop leaves both sessions and the near-collision service intact. |
| Crash/partial failure | Injected restart failure is applied after the fake effect to model crash/partial truth: result is `lifecycle: incomplete`, the roster is unchanged, and observed runtime may be active. |
| Rollback/recovery semantics | M3 has no rollback command and explicitly does not claim automatic rollback. The acceptance workflow proves the bounded recovery contract: inspect, then exact reconcile restores the persisted stopped target without a start or fuzzy effect. M4 migration/canary rollback remains outside this card. |
| Stopped-state preservation | Stateful apply and reconcile both stop an initially running observed agent whose persisted target is stopped; failed explicit restart leaves desired state stopped; recovery reconcile restores stopped state. No start call is emitted. |
| Zero fuzzy destructive targeting | Near-collision `coder0-shadow` service/session plus `unmanaged` session remain untouched. The recorded destructive calls contain only exact `mosaic-agent@coder0.service`; no tmux kill action is emitted. |
| Stable JSON/exit behavior | Temporary canonical roster fixture invokes the CLI boundary and asserts exactly one JSON line, exact partial-result shape, and exit code 1. Existing focused command specs continue to cover clean zero-exit and stable error JSON. |
| Redacted truthful recovery | Fake stderr includes `PASSWORD=acceptance-secret`; exact CLI JSON contains only bounded recovery metadata and excludes the key, value, and raw diagnostic. |

## Plan

1. Inventory existing reconciler and command specs against the table above; avoid duplicating narrow assertions already present.
2. Add one acceptance-level spec using only fake/injected adapters and temporary files.
3. If a real defect is exposed, preserve the failing reproducer and make only the smallest FCM-M3-002-required fix; otherwise leave production unchanged.
4. Reconcile `docs/TASKS.md` only for delivered M1/M2/M3-001 truth and mark FCM-M3-002 in progress.
5. Run focused tests, full `@mosaicstack/mosaic` tests, package/root typecheck and lint, Prettier/format and diff checks, plus adversarial fake-runner cases.
6. Record exact evidence and leave the tree uncommitted for independent synthetic-tree review.

## TDD decision

This card adds acceptance coverage to already-delivered behavior. Test-first applies to any product defect discovered: retain a failing reproducer before an in-scope fix. If the shipped behavior already satisfies the acceptance contract, no production code will be changed and the acceptance suite itself is the deliverable.

## Progress

- Intake and immutable baseline verification complete.
- Existing coverage inventory confirmed strong unit coverage but no stateful cross-command lifecycle acceptance harness.
- Added `packages/mosaic/src/fleet/fleet-reconciler.acceptance.spec.ts`: one injected stateful fake systemd/tmux host, temporary canonical v2 and legacy-v1 roster fixtures, and seven acceptance tests.
- Production source is unchanged; no product defect requiring an FCM-M3-002 fix was found.
- `docs/TASKS.md` reconciles only merged M1/M2/M3-001 truth and marks FCM-M3-002 in progress.

## Verification evidence

All commands ran from `/home/jarvis/src/mosaic-stack-local-reconciler` and passed unless explicitly noted.

- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic exec vitest run src/fleet/fleet-reconciler.acceptance.spec.ts` — final remediation run: 1 file, 7 tests passed; canonical v2 named-socket parsing/Commander status, missing/empty v2 rejection, and canonical legacy-v1 default-server runtime targeting are distinct reachable cases.
- Focused reconciler/roster/transport command covering acceptance, reconciler, command, CRUD, v2 parser, and runtime transport specs — 8 files, 304 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test` — final remediation run: 57 files, 827 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic lint` — passed.
- `pnpm typecheck` — 42/42 Turbo tasks successful.
- `pnpm lint` — 23/23 Turbo tasks successful.
- `pnpm exec prettier --check docs/TASKS.md docs/scratchpads/758-fcm-m3-002-reconciler-lifecycle-gates.md packages/mosaic/src/fleet/fleet-reconciler.acceptance.spec.ts` — passed.
- `pnpm format:check` — all matched files use Prettier style.
- `git diff --check` — passed with no output.
- Initial scoped Prettier check found style drift in the new spec and tracking table; `pnpm exec prettier --write ...` remediated it before all final gates above.
- No live fleet, systemctl, tmux, process, site, migration, canary, deploy, runtime, connector, or remote command was invoked.

## Review boundary

This is an author handoff. No self-review is represented as reviewer-of-record. The uncommitted synthetic tree is intended for independent review.

## Risks / blockers

- M3 truthfully reports incomplete lifecycle effects and bounded recovery; it does not implement or claim an automatic rollback command. This suite proves stopped-state restoration by the documented exact recovery reconcile. M4 retains migration/canary rollback ownership.
- The fake host models only the public systemd/tmux runner contract and temporary roster filesystem boundary. This is intentional under the no-live-effects hold.
- Parent issue closure, commit, push, PR, merge, deployment, and branch cleanup remain explicit holds.
- No residual implementation blocker.
