 - Status: implemented + tested. Closes R13: `mosaic update` now re-seeds the framework (data-safe MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY) after the CLI install so shipped launcher/runtime changes activate; `--relaunch` restarts rostered agents; `--no-reseed` opts out. Detail: scratchpads/f3-m3-update-reseed.md.

+# Fleet-polish bundle — boot-survival symmetry (#611)
+
+- **Issue:** #611 · **Branch:** `feat/fleet-polish-bundle` · From the Lead's Codex symmetry-gap finding.
+
+## Three fixes
+
+1. **disable-on-remove (BUG, TDD).** `fleet remove` stopped + deleted roster/env/heartbeat but never
+   `systemctl --user disable mosaic-agent@NAME.service` → a removed-but-enabled unit could resurrect on
+   reboot pointing at deleted config. Fix: `buildSystemdDisableCommand` + disable in `remove`
+   (best-effort, gated on !--keep-files).
+2. **add-enable.** `fleet add` now enables the new agent's unit for boot-survival (best-effort,
+   independent of --start) — symmetry with disable-on-remove.
+3. **init-R5 guarantee.** `fleet init --write` now FAILS HARD when a non-minimal profile doesn't yield
+   exactly one orchestrator (was a soft warning). `minimal` (sanctioned no-orchestrator) still allowed.
+
+## Verification
+
+- 4 new tests (disable builder; remove-invokes-disable; add-invokes-enable; init general → exactly 1
+  orchestrator) + 147 existing fleet tests green (151 total). tsc/eslint/prettier clean.
+- TDD on the disable bug per contract.
