Lands Sage's sage/row66-r5 at 7ffb640ac, round 4 (r4d 82c830779) rebased onto a36523713 after row 197,
approved by Dewey (comment 30085) and Filbert (30086) on manifest 6cfd812da4ca (23 paths, rev 2905). The
rebase had no conflict. The range-diff is = except one pi-session.test.mjs hunk header. Patch-id without
agents/ is d67275ac4251 on 7b9737953, a36523713 and this commit's parent. Gate (mos-1186): unslop,
harness, cli and every scripts/test-*.sh green on r4d, harness 149/0 again on r5. Landing sessions on a
scratch root from the candidate tree: Claude Code r4ab24630d323 showed the note, the injected notice and
counts checked 2, flagged 1, notices 1. Pi r1dd94171bede is launch only until #383 (Vikunja #454).
Author and gate owner: Sage (mos-0855).
Role files take an optional skills list. The bundle reads each named skill
from <dataRoot>/skills-enabled, copies it into the bundle and renders every
file into prompt.md between skill-file markers, so the prompt text matches
the bundle copy byte for byte. The role's skills together are capped at
SKILL_BYTES (64 KiB): the claude adapter passes prompt.md as one argument,
and Linux caps one argument at 128 KiB. Symlinks are refused, not followed.
The launcher checks the list before a run exists: skill-not-enabled names
the activate command, anything else refuses skill-refused.
Pi keeps --no-skills; Claude Code keeps --disable-slash-commands and
--restricted. The two harness modules and MOSAIC_SKILLS are unchanged.
First lists: coder, reviewer, cto and pm, ms-unslop on each.
Researcher's candidate 8977d907 (patch 843fdee9), approved by Filbert in #1669 comment 29193. Built on d58c9c5cd and applied on 04155deff without fuzz; the patch's +/- lines hash the same on both bases. Row 171's one broker.mjs line (project-name-is-repo, at :2256) is the only change on a manifest path between them.
Adds the harness plug-in kind (interface 1). packages/plugins/harness/pi
and claude-code hold what core branched on: the adapter, thinking levels,
preflight, version probe, sandbox mounts, builtins line, typed tool names,
gate timeout, bundle files, adapter env, turn end and session-files path.
Core reaches a module only through the loader.
A session's route is the instance's harness, model and thinking vars, or
the three fallback. vars; a missing one refuses no-route, and the system
file's execution keys are never read for a session. The launcher checks
the primary route, then the fallback: harness-off, harness-refused,
thinking-unsupported, then preflight. A failed preflight falls back when
a fallback is set, and any refusal of the fallback names the primary's
failure too. Account checks run
only when the route's module counts an account. The manifest records
route, routeReason and harnessVersion, replacing piVersion and
claudeVersion. pi gets --thinking, Claude Code --effort, both from
MOSAIC_THINKING.
The business file refuses a partial fallback. routes and routes.set are
human-only bus verbs outside ORGANIZATION_KEYS; checkRoutes is shared by
routes.set, instances.set and limits.set and checks only changed routes.
The chief of staff changes an instance's model, and the assistant's whole
vars (Q169), through limits.set, so its route write runs the same checks.
A model outside launch.models refuses unknown-model, primary or fallback,
and routes.set passes that code through.
A new run binds only on a switched-on harness module name and records
its transcript path, which the usage reader uses. Settings gains a
Routing table with six selects per instance and loses the Role models
fieldset; it posts changed rows to /api/routes. webui/src/bus.mjs is
unchanged.
Until Jason's `mosaic plugins set` adds "harness": ["claude-code"], a new
launch refuses harness-off.
Jason's Q169: only the chief of staff removes the assistant; the chief
and the human configure it and its seat name.
Configure. A new organization key, assistants, replaces the vars,
tracker or definition of an instance whose definition is already the
assistant. holder and credentials are refused, and the whole document
still goes through validateBusinessDocument. set() refuses
organization-definition-refused if any other instance's definition
changed. THREAD_DEFINITION and END_PROTECTED move to
packages/business/src/vocabulary.mjs, so the broker and
launch-settings.mjs read one list. The human writes it with
mosaic limits set --file or the Console Settings view's Assistant
section; the chief writes it with change_organization. Both carry the
file's revision.
Seat name. The chief gets a typed set_name tool (name.set,
instance.name). The Console gets POST /api/name on the settings
boundary, through human-cli.
Remove. role.end and role.revoke of a threaded instance revoke every
thread of that instance whose latest claim is a claim, and report
threads: N. The raise and the check both record a missing holder run as
null. A new human-only verb, assistant.stop, revokes the human's own
threads of an assistant instance; the Console calls it from POST
/api/assistant-stop. The bundle, the end_run description and
roles/chief-of-staff.md now say the chief ends and configures the
assistant. No schema step.
Owner Darkwing, brief docs/plans/2026-10-16_q169-assistant-config.md.
Reviewers: Dewey (security) r1 approve 29012, r2 29014, r3 29018; Filbert r1 29010,
r2 29015, r3 29017, on candidate manifest 96cae28e...9016. Round 2 is
confirm-only after rows 162 and 125 moved the base under docs/TOOLS.md
and the cli README. Round 3 bumps row 164's webui/src/bus.mjs byte
baseline in packages/bus/tests/channel-proof.test.mjs for the eight
STATUS entries; Sage's gate on r2 failed only there. Mos's decision 123 go for the public/bus.js diff
(mos-0816) covers 9f9ce31b, unchanged here. Sage gate on 197722caa:
GATE_PASSED 25/25 (node 2370, selftests 422) 21:11:38Z, a rerun on the same tree after a first run stopped at pkg-webui on a board-held.test.mjs timeout that passes singly.
Nothing live. Follow-up brief in the packet: the names read rethrow, one
shared settings snapshot, null tests for the two new routes.

New roles:
- roles/security-reviewer.json and .md: read tools only, review.verdict
within its role, no cross-role grant and no credentials, one verdict per
request.
- roles/merge-gate.json and .md: read tools only, cross-role
git.merge.protected only. It raises with domain technical and the task
ref, and lands with land_work once the decision resolves, the verdicts
approve and the gate passes. The chief of staff messages the relaunched
instance with the task ref and decision id (round 3 finding 28913).
Contracts:
- All 13 roles/*.md carry the proactive line in their Authority section.
- pm and chief-of-staff carry the REQ-DEC-2 routing paragraph. Its eight
hard waits are pinned to GATED_ONLY by a test.
Harness: raise_decision takes an optional domain, technical or delivery,
defaulting to delivery. The tool description says where each kind of raise
goes. end_run is unchanged (row 155).
Tests are new files only: business and bus workflow-roles tests and
harness raise-domain. Builder Dewey; Filbert approved round 4 (comment
28929) on manifest 6b4af9c2685b, base 0f715a054 plus build.patch
df0fec543dba.
Gate on 806ab89df plus the candidate, 16:34:57Z to 16:39:43Z: 2027
package tests and 422 script selftests (plus the queue suite's 156 node
tests), 0 failed. Doc-only follow-ups: business README:194-196 and the
launch.instances doc line.

Row 141 round 1, Darkwing's candidate (agents/darkwing/work/queue-141/,
build.patch bb036c6d, manifest d474b330, 26 paths, base 18aee8fa1),
rebased without change by Sage onto 7e40fb83b as round 2
(agents/sage/work/queue-141-r2/, build.patch 72b890d9, manifest
cae29087). Row 148 moved two of the paths, packages/bus/README.md and
packages/bus/src/broker.mjs; the interdiff touches only index and @@
lines. Filbert approved round 1 (comment 28841).
Schema 3f->3g adds instance_names, an append-only log whose latest row
per instance is its current name. message.send resolves a to that is
not an instance key or a role through the names table, and records
to_name. The new bus writer name.set and read names back the CLI verbs
mosaic name INSTANCE NAME (human-only) and mosaic names [--json].
`instance.name` is routed under REQ-MSG-2 (1.5). It joins ACTIONS and
ROUTED in the vocabulary and the broker, and roles/chief-of-staff.json
grants it within-role, as row 139's brief asks of whichever of 139 and
141 lands second. The chief has no tool for it until row 155, so the
chief's untypedActions and bundle untyped list are ["instance.name"]
(harness tools.test.mjs:43, bundle.test.mjs:94).
Follow-ups: Vikunja P19 tasks for TOOLS.md and acceptance 314 step 10
(Filbert, doc-only) and for refusing a new key or definition equal to a
current name. Row 155's brief carries the return of untyped to [].
Sage's landing gate ran on 7e40fb83b plus the candidate: 25 steps,
all rc 0 (15 packages, 10 script suites), 22:30:48Z to 22:35:15Z,
network sage-r141_default removed. The commit sits on 2a85b41da,
which adds one docs/SESSIONS.md line that no test reads.

Row 137 round 4, Darkwing's candidate (agents/darkwing/work/queue-137/r4/,
build.patch 0cabe175, manifest 548ee477, 31 paths, base 63c82f1c4).
Filbert approved round 4 (comment 28809) and Dewey approved it (28816)
after round 3 changes (28801, 28805). Darkwing's round 4 ran 9/9 mutant
kills, bus 317, seat 150, land-work 86.
Round 5 is a rebase only (agents/sage/work/queue-137-r5/, build.patch
d6cbaaa8, manifest f73598fe). Row 150 changed docs/TOOLS.md, broker.mjs
and cli/README.md under it. The round 4 patch applied unchanged onto
435d1c616, and with index and @@ lines removed the two patches are
byte-identical. Filbert checked the interdiff (comment 28818).
A landing moves refs/heads/main in <dataRoot>/working/<business>/
<project>.git, never the project root or canonical refactor. The seed now
fetches the root as refs/heads/root and fast-forwards main only when it
is an ancestor, so a landed main survives the next push. Only a
cross-role merge decision lands. Its squash names the real channel:
"via the CLI" for the human, and "as its arbiter, via the broker" for an
arbiter's decision.resolve. Every other class refuses not-authorized
before the human check.
This carries row 139's two items. REQ-LAND-1: a gated merge decision
never lands. REQ-DEC-2: the host land op accepts an arbiter-resolved
merge. land-work's read.mjs stays human-only, and land-work.sh still
accepts only a human CLI resolution.
Sage's landing gate ran on 435d1c616 plus the candidate: 25 steps,
all rc 0 (15 packages, 10 script suites), 20:51:00Z to 20:55:34Z,
network sage-r137_default removed. Cherry-picked onto 5d98fb194, which
added only a docs/SESSIONS.md line.

Row 139 round 2, Dewey's candidate a4c5657f (14 paths) on 5661bd233.
Filbert approved round 2 (comment 28786) after round 1 changes. Dewey's
gate: 14 runs rc 0. Mutants m1-m9 killed. Filbert ran 7 files singly:
0 fail, 0 skipped.
The broker's GATED and the business's GATED_ONLY are now the hard waits.
A cited gated decision goes to the domain arbiter unless it is a hard
wait, which always goes to the human. Under Jason's ruling Q169, a
role.revoke of the assistant is a hard wait. Its end gets past
END_PROTECTED only for the chief of staff, or when the cited decision
was resolved by the human through the CLI. PRD version 1.6 records Q169.
Mos approved the 1.6 text, including the REQ-ROLE-2 sentence on the
chief's end and revoke. scripts/test-land-work.sh adds the not-human
cases for arbiter-resolved merges. land-work's read.mjs is unchanged.
Row 137 lands second, so it carries the gated-merge refusal and the host
land op's arbiter acceptance. Making an end or revoke stop an assistant
run, and configuring the assistant, are row 155 (#1649).
Sage's landing gate ran on 26b78d483 plus the candidate: 25 steps, all rc 0 (15 packages, 10 script suites), 19:23:57Z to 19:28:28Z, network sage-r139_default removed.

Row 138 round 2, Rocko's candidate e3f9a400 (43 paths) on 26a0b0fab.
Dewey approved (comment 28754) after round 1 changes (comment 28752):
D1-D5 mutants killed, the 17 touched test files run singly passed
124/124. Rocko's own run: 753 tests and 59/59 mutants killed.
The bus gains the project adapter through runtime.mjs, the way it
already injects the organization, so broker.mjs takes no new imports
and refuses with project-not-configured when no adapter is set. The
project socket timeout is 120s. Roles gain record.write. The schema
moves from 3e to 3f; the live migration follows MIGRATION.md and
needs Mos's window.
Sage's landing gate ran on c842686d5 plus the candidate: 25 steps,
all rc 0 (15 packages, 10 script suites), network sage-r138_default
removed.

Researcher's row 132 work (agents/researcher/work/queue-132/row132.patch),
rebased unchanged on 73fa83a08 as round 2 (agents/sage/work/queue-132/r2,
manifest 0a0ebbf6...048e). Filbert approved round 1 in comment 28604 and
the round 2 rebase in 28606. Landing gate on 73fa83a08 plus the
candidate: all 24 suites passed, 0 failed.

The broker gains a read-only state verb (launch state with the event that set it, open tasks capped). The runner fetches it before each turn and puts a "Current state" block at the top of the request; a failed read fails the turn. turnRequest() adds the message time. roles/pm.md gets one rule: the block is the truth for launch state and task status. Seat session, seat sandbox and cli launcher tests re-anchored to the new request shape.
Built by Researcher, packet 875c515e9. Filbert approved round 3, comment 28333, candidate manifest 0a62225e (11 paths). Sage gate on 9774d70db plus row109.patch: every package node suite and every scripts/test-*.sh green on the first run, skipped 0 in bus, harness and seat. Vikunja #259.

Commits move as v2 bundles over bus-host/git.sock (decision 135). The bus
host keeps one bare working repository per business and project, seeds main
from the project root under a per-repository lock, fetches a pushed bundle
with fsck into a temp ref, requires history shared with main, and moves the
task's work ref only as a fast-forward. Host and runner git run with no
system or global config, hooks at /dev/null and local transports only. The
socket binds only for roles holding git.push.working or review.verdict.
The broker records a push as the action.allowed for git.push.working with
its commit, takes review.request for the latest push and one review.verdict
per request, and refuses task.close on a pushed task without an approve
verdict for the latest push. recordEvent reserves both shapes, so agents
can't forge either.
Reviewed by Dewey (28196) and Sage (28197), both approve. Gate on 7a729aef:
14 node suites and 9 scripts green.

Row 92, round 2. Darkwing built it. A role session runs in a bwrap
sandbox that sees only its own workspace, a private /proc, /dev and IPC
namespace, and the variables ENV_ALLOW passes. The launcher checks the
session credential before a Claude launch, records a runner killed from
the host as killed rather than failed, and the bus unit template carries
the credential file (decision 119). The harness gate and the cli, seat
and harness READMEs say what the sandbox does and does not hide.
Candidate manifest 8bf4141cbe69fc7bed188555bcc88dcab0b1ea2149912cb6f970ba8c2629dd97

Approvals: Dewey 27978, Filbert 27984 (round 1: Dewey 27942, Filbert
asked for changes in 27951). Sage's gate rerun 22:27:37Z-22:30:35Z on

Row 89, round 1. The broker's `tasks` read takes optional filter and
page arguments and returns a short form. The harness adds `list_tasks`
arguments (open tasks by default), a `get_task` tool, and compact JSON
replies capped below the 50000-character threshold where Claude Code
2.1.296 saves a tool result to a file outside the workspace, which was
the PM's fault in Jason's test. The bundle's tools line names the
harness's own tools.
Candidate manifest b8c5bb3a (agents/dewey/work/queue-89/), base
a3f6e9e6, no drift on the 12 paths. Builder Dewey. Approved by
Darkwing (comment 27940). Sage's gate on f04185fc plus the patch
2026-10-12T22:00:55Z-22:03:38Z: bus 108, harness 65, webui 86, cli

Live at the next bus restart (broker) and role session launch

Slice 1 S6. packages/harness runs a role session under the pi or claude
adapter behind a tool gate, and packages/seat holds the session and its
process. The bus host gains a launch socket: `mosaic bus start
<business> --pm <harness>:<model>` runs the PM without a window, the PM
launches role sessions through the broker within the business file's
`launch.max`, and every launch, refusal and end is a launch-log line and
a broker event. `mosaic talk`, `mosaic launches off|on|list` and
`mosaic stop <run>` are new CLI verbs. packages/bus gains the IPC ops
identity, authorize, refuse, endLaunch and credentialStatus, plus
Broker.endLaunch (decision 77); no socket verb, event kind or schema
changed. The session environment is an allowlist, and the runner exits
before claiming if a founder credential reaches it.
Filbert built it (agents/filbert/work/s6). Darkwing reviewed on #1523:
round 1 changes (26991/26995), round 2 changes (27004/27010), round 3
changes (27012/27032), round 4 approve (27033/27034) on manifest
08a78972, 42 paths.
Sage's gate on 64b0f9f1 (12:32Z), sequential and teed: node suites
business 60, bus 74, cli 83, control-board 124, conversation 182,
discord 178, harness 56, ledger 78, mosaic 69, queue 149, runs 41,

test-release 14, test-task 98 and 26 without Docker, all 0 failed.
64b0f9f1..ee7f909b touches none of the 42 paths. It landed after the
Q14 hold ended at 2026-10-11T17:19:23.857Z. The recorded PM-to-coder
run on a scratch data root is still owed before row 41 moves to done.
