# Mos Runtime Portability M1 — Logical Identity and Fencing
## Boundary
M1 separates the logical Mosaic agent from any Claude, Pi, Codex, tmux, Matrix, or provider-native session. The normalized identity is:
```text
(tenant_id, logical_agent_id, binding_id)
```
`logical_agent_id` is a server-owned stable identifier. A connector is a replaceable holder of a lease for one binding; it is not the agent identity.
## Durable lease model
PostgreSQL table `logical_agent_connector_leases` has one unique row per identity/binding tuple. The current row records:
- an opaque lease UUID;
- connector ID and normalized allowed scopes;
- a positive decimal fencing epoch stored as PostgreSQL `bigint`;
- acquired, heartbeat, expiry, release, and update timestamps.
Initial acquisition is insert-only. An existing active row causes `lease_held`. An expired or released row causes `takeover_required`; ordinary acquisition cannot recover it. Authorized takeover uses compare-and-swap against the expected epoch, rotates the lease UUID, and increments the epoch atomically. Heartbeat and release match the full identity, binding, connector, lease UUID, and epoch.
The companion `connector_lease_audit_log` is append-only metadata. It stores lifecycle event, outcome/reason, identity/binding/connector, epoch, correlation ID, and timestamp. It deliberately excludes scopes, grant objects, payloads, approval references, tokens, and credentials.
## Execution grants
`ConnectorLeaseCoordinator` issues a short-lived internal grant only after rereading the durable current lease. Defense-in-depth caps leases at 5 minutes and grants at 30 seconds by default; constructor options may tighten these limits. A grant is bound to tenant, logical agent, binding, connector, lease UUID, scope subset, expiry, and epoch.
Validation occurs immediately before adapter invocation and rereads PostgreSQL. The adapter receives only `ConnectorExecutionContext`; harness-native schemas remain behind the adapter. Validation denies:
- grants not minted by the current gateway process (including cloned/forged objects);
- expired grants or leases;
- released leases;
- stale epochs or replaced connector/lease UUIDs;
- missing/cross-tenant/cross-agent/cross-binding leases;
- scopes not authorized by both grant and current lease.
A gateway restart intentionally invalidates process-local grants. The durable lease and epoch survive, and a fresh grant may be issued only after current-lease and gateway-policy validation.
## Concurrency and side-effect rule
The database CAS determines the sole current holder. A successful takeover makes every old-epoch validation fail. Connector adapters must consume and propagate the normalized lease epoch/context so downstream effect boundaries can also fence races that occur after gateway validation.
M1 does not provide exactly-once receipts or a side-effect journal. Those remain later #754 work; callers must not infer exactly-once delivery from lease fencing.
## Extension boundary
`ConnectorLeaseService` is the gateway-owned policy surface. Every policy decision receives the normalized requested scopes and TTL (or explicit `null` where no TTL applies), so a concrete policy can enforce least privilege and duration limits. Its production default policy denies every lease/grant operation until a server-configured connector policy is supplied. No M1 HTTP endpoint accepts caller-controlled tenant or logical identity, and no concrete Claude/Pi/Codex adapter or channel cutover is included.

# Mos Connector Lease Operations — M1
## Operational status
M1 installs the durable schema and gateway policy/adapter boundary. It does **not** activate a connector, expose a lease administration endpoint, or cut over a channel. The default gateway connector-lease policy is deny-all until a later work package supplies an authorized server-side policy and concrete adapter.
## Events to monitor
Use correlation IDs to follow `connector_lease_audit_log` events:
| Event | Meaning |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `acquire` | First holder inserted for an unused binding |
| `renew` | Current holder heartbeat extended the TTL |
| `takeover` | Authorized CAS replaced the holder and incremented epoch |
| `release` | Current holder explicitly relinquished authority |
| `expiry` | An expired current lease was observed |
| `reject` | Policy, CAS, expiry, scope, or fencing validation denied an operation |
Audit data is metadata-only. Raw grant objects, connector payloads, scopes, tokens, approval references, and credentials must never be added to audit output.
## Incident checks
For suspected duplicate/stale connector effects:
1. Correlate the attempted operation with its `reject`, `takeover`, or `expiry` event.
2. Compare the current row's connector ID, lease UUID, epoch, expiry, and release time with the adapter's normalized execution context.
3. Treat an old epoch, old lease UUID, expired lease, or released lease as non-authoritative. Do not retry it as the old holder.
4. Recovery uses the authorized takeover path with the observed expected epoch. Ordinary acquire is intentionally rejected for expired/released rows.
5. If an external effect may already have happened, preserve evidence and do not assume lease fencing provides exactly-once replay safety.
## Migration and rollback safety
Migration `0016_salty_morlocks.sql` is additive: it creates two new tables and indexes without modifying existing authorization/session tables. Before rollout, normal database backup and migration verification still apply. Rolling application code back leaves unused additive tables in place; dropping tables is not part of automated rollback because it would destroy lease/audit evidence.
## Security constraints
- Tenant comes from authenticated gateway context, never a connector request field.
- Logical agent, binding, connector, and scope identifiers use normalized constrained forms.
- Takeover requires explicit gateway policy authorization and an expected epoch.
- Default defense-in-depth TTL caps are 5 minutes for leases and 30 seconds for grants; policy may enforce stricter limits.
- Validation and rejection audit complete before adapter side effects.
- Existing authz and exact-action approval controls remain additional required gates; a valid connector lease does not bypass them.
