ops(q81): the wrapper forwards __lease-capability to mosaic-old (Mos)

Mos amended ruling (2): with no environment location for
MOSAIC_LEASE_VERSION_PROBE_COMMAND, the wrapper sends only
`__lease-capability` to ~/.npm-global/bin/mosaic-old, so the old CLI's
lease gate still gets its answer. Every other subcommand reaches the
pinned worktree; undo removes the forward with the wrapper. update now
rewrites the wrapper, and status flags a wrapper that differs from what
the script writes. Checked live at 21:17:58Z: the probe answered
{"name":"lease-runtime-activation","version":1}, exit 0.

 - Alternative inside files Q81 owns: the new wrapper forwards only `__lease-capability`
   to ~/.npm-global/bin/mosaic-old. Same effect as the env var (the real old CLI answers),
   no env file, removed by undo. Needs Mos's ok, since it differs from the ruling's mechanism.

+## Amendment, 2026-10-11T21:17Z (Mos, amending ruling (2))

+Mos ruled the env location the original ruling assumed doesn't exist, so the
+wrapper forwards instead. `mosaic __lease-capability` goes to
+~/.npm-global/bin/mosaic-old; every other subcommand goes to the pinned
+worktree. `undo` removes the wrapper and the forward with it. Checked at
+21:17:58Z in a login shell: `mosaic __lease-capability` answered
+{"name":"lease-runtime-activation","version":1} with exit 0, and `mosaic bus
+status` and `mosaic launches list` still answered from the worktree.
