+# P5 — Overlay composer + cross-harness (compose-contract)
+
+- **Issue:** #604 · **Branch:** `feat/p5-overlay-composer` · **Lineage:** #542 → constitution alpha
+- **Requirements:** R7 (compose-contract) + R8 (cross-harness) + R9 (composer test)
+- **Design of record:** `docs/design/framework-constitution/{DESIGN.md §3.2, PRD.md §4}` (on `feat/framework-constitution-alpha`)
+
+## Locked design (sequential-thinking)
+
+Current `launch.ts` assembly (`buildComposedPrompt`) injects by value: mission + PRD + hard-gate +
+CONSTITUTION + AGENTS + USER + TOOLS + runtime. It does **not** inject SOUL or STANDARDS (those are
+read-on-demand per the gutted AGENTS dispatcher), and has no `.local` overlay support.
+
+**Decision (ASSUMPTION — recorded for the PR):** overlays are injected as **deltas by value** under
+labeled sections; base files keep their existing residency.
+
+- `USER.local.md` → appended directly under the `# User Profile` block (USER is injected).
+- `SOUL.local.md` + `STANDARDS.local.md` → a trailing `# Operator Overlays` section (their bases are
+  load-on-demand, so only the small delta is injected — not the full base prose).
+- **Why:** honors DESIGN §3.2 ("model gets one pre-merged blob, no read-merge ritual") while preserving
+  the P3 byte-budget tiering (don't re-inject large SOUL/STANDARDS prose). Precedence order kept: base
+  layers first, operator overlays at recency.
+- Base-only is automatic when a `.local` file is absent (`readOptional`).

+## Plan
+
+| #   | Task                                                                                                   | File                                    |
+| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
+| 1   | Extract `composeContract({harness, mosaicHome})` pure fn; `buildComposedPrompt` delegates              | `src/commands/launch.ts`                |
+| 2   | Overlay logic (USER.local under profile; SOUL/STANDARDS.local in `# Operator Overlays`)                | `src/commands/launch.ts`                |
+| 3   | `mosaic compose-contract <harness>` command → prints blob to stdout                                    | `src/commands/launch.ts`                |
+| 4   | Bare-launch overlay nudge in self-load fallback                                                        | `framework/defaults/AGENTS.md`          |
+| 5   | `compose-contract.spec.ts`: per-tier anchor, Tier-3 byte-equality, overlay present/absent, per-harness | `src/commands/compose-contract.spec.ts` |
