fix(bus): quote approved requirement texts into coder/reviewer continuations (#797)

D3: coder/reviewer sandboxes cannot read the product records repo and
list_requirements stays PM/CTO-only (row 90, #1584). The bus now quotes
the task-cited approved requirement texts (exact text, id, title, citing
task refs, snapshot id, product key, records commit) into the
implementation and review continuations, resolved host-side through the
same catalog resolver behind the scoped requirements verb, never from
model input. Quotes are bounded at 16384 bytes and framed as quoted
data; an unresolvable or revoked snapshot degrades to an ask-PM line
without blocking the task. No role, tool or schema widened; one duty
note each in roles/coder.md and roles/reviewer.md.

 ## 2026-11-05 — MVP 3 planning coverage implementation ready for review (#797)
 
 After: preserve the scalar task requirement schema and fail-closed coverage gate; incomplete advance now sends a deduplicated PM bus notice naming every uncovered id and explaining correction, task-limit reconciliation and why a push cannot clear coverage. PM contract, task_create description and planning continuation state the same rule. Five-requirement regression proves prose/push do not cover missing ids, retries do not flood, changed coverage updates the notice, and complete assigned coverage advances without pushes for the other tasks. Focused whole files: 52 pass/0 fail/0 skip; scoped/lifecycle/import/role regressions: 115 pass/0 fail/0 skip; dependency/path/closure files: 61 pass/0 fail/0 skip (228 total). Initial fixture run: 51 pass/1 fail (new test used an invalid PRD author; corrected to pm.pm). Initial path checks: 28 pass/23 fail from absent worktree node_modules; canonical dependency versions matched package.json, linked locally, then all 61 passed. Read-only .53 evidence identifies proxy-stall watchdog as coder stop cause; D2–D5 remain report-only follow-ups.

+## 2026-11-05 — MVP 3 D3 requirement texts in continuations implemented (#797)
+
+Before: branch fix/mvp3-req-texts-797 off 62bece4a9da803d0734b435d157578ea5c8d2001 (planning-gate fix) in the T3 worktree; coder/reviewer could not read the product's approved requirement records (D3), and list_requirements remains PM/CTO-only by row 90 (#1584), asserted unchanged by packages/harness/tests/tools.test.mjs. Scope chosen by the lead: no role/tool widening; the bus itself quotes the task-cited approved texts into the implementation/review continuations it already sends.
+
+After: broker #continuationQuote resolves, host-side and never from model input, this request's task.created citations (same product, exact approved snapshot) through the same catalog resolver behind the scoped requirements verb (#requirementsFor), bounding titles+texts at CONTINUATION_QUOTE_BUDGET=16384 bytes with a truncation+ask-PM line. request-continuation renders the block for push_working/review_verdict only, framed as quoted owner-approved data, never instructions; intents/evidence digests unchanged (quote lives in the message body only). request-lifecycle resolves the quote before its journal transactions (resume path; advance reuses the pre-transaction catalog.resolve result, covering the review→implementation changes loopback). Unresolvable or revoked snapshots and missing citations degrade to an ask-PM line without blocking or throwing. roles/coder.md and roles/reviewer.md gained one duty note each; no roles/*.json, tools.mjs gate, schema or authority change. New regressions: exact text/snapshot/records-commit/task citation with foreign-request, foreign-product and unknown-id isolation on a fresh send; reviewer quote; stale-drift and revoked-snapshot fallbacks without throw; budget truncation ordering. Whole files: bus+tasks 197 pass/0 fail/0 skip; harness+business 110 pass/0 fail/0 skip (Row 90 assertion green, coder/reviewer still lack list_requirements); adjacent recovery/limits/cli-lifecycle/launch 45 pass/0 fail/0 skip; 352 total, git diff --check clean. Initial runs failed three new tests ([draft] status not in snapshot rows; append-only request_snapshots/events triggers; successor reuses a waiting unroutable message) — corrected the tests, not the guards. Receipts: /mnt/storage/scratch/mosaic-lead/mvp3/req-texts-*.tap and req-texts-fix-r1-report.md. No push, merge, runtime write or product-acceptance claim.
