The activation-capability probe spawns the whole Node CLI rather than
exec'ing a binary. Measured 3.0-3.7s on an idle 4-core VM and 3.55-3.61s
on web1, against `node -e 0` at 0.05s. The budget was 2.0s, so the probe
timed out on every call on both hosts.
The gate is fail-closed, and an expiry is indistinguishable from "no
capability", so every fleet seat launch was denied with a version-skew
message telling the operator to "upgrade both as one unit" -- advice that
cannot fix a timeout. This is why web1 shows roster seats with no live
sessions.
Raise the budget to 20s, well clear of the measured range, and add
MOSAIC_LEASE_VERSION_PROBE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS for slower hosts. Unusable
override values fall back to the default rather than removing the bound.
Also fix _resolve_probe_command ignoring the environ it is handed:
shutil.which was called without path=, so it read the ambient PATH. That
made test_returns_none_when_mosaic_is_not_resolvable_on_path pass only
because the 2.0s budget expired first -- right answer, wrong reason, and
it masked the timeout defect. The suite's runtime drops from 2.0s to
0.002s, which is that accidental timeout leaving.
Verified: 18/18 version_coupling_unittest (new tests red against the old
gate: 2 failures + 1 error), tsc build clean, test-start-agent-session.sh
and test-fleet-units.sh rc=0. invariant_r_unittest fails identically with
and without this change (pinned pi 0.84.1 vs installed 0.84.2).
Brings MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY (per-seat git authorship) onto the delivery
branch, which had none of it. The branch carried W-F7's FLEET_SEAT seam in
the same launcher file; the two auto-merged cleanly.
Three single-hunk conflicts resolved:
- pr-merge.sh: kept branch policy allowing main OR next (next is the
release stream).
- test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh: kept the branch's 4 added merge-readiness
assertions; merge base and main both had zero, so nothing of main's is
reverted.
- package.json test:framework-shell: union of both enumerations, 50 entries,
no test dropped from either side. Picks up main's test-start-agent-session.sh
and test-fleet-units.sh, which are the guards for the identity key.
The roster lane and the harness-homes lane did not touch. start-agent-session.sh
ran `mosaic yolo "$RUNTIME"` with HOME set to the operator's home, so every fleet
seat on a host shared the operator's harness home and, for Claude, the operator's
own ~/.claude credentials. Nothing in framework/ called `mosaic fleet launch` at
all, which meant ~/.mosaic was a directory nothing read.
The pane now runs `mosaic fleet launch "$AGENT_NAME"` when a scaffolded seat
exists at $PANE_HOME/.mosaic/fleet/agents/<name>/profile.json, and the historical
command otherwise. Detection uses $PANE_HOME/.mosaic rather than MOSAIC_DATA_HOME
because the pane environment is cleared with env -i; the composition resolves the
same root from HOME, so the two cannot disagree.
Additive by construction: a host with no scaffolded seats launches exactly as
before, so this can land ahead of any seat being enrolled.
- fleet launch gains --dangerous, threaded to launchFleetRuntime. Without it a
seat launched from the roster would drop the permissions footing `mosaic yolo`
gave it and prompt at a pane with nobody at it. The roster launcher asks for it
explicitly so it stays visible in the process table instead of becoming a
profile default.
- A caller's --model replaces the profile's instead of being appended after it.
The roster carries a model per seat and is the surface operators edit; emitting
both flags would leave the choice to each harness's argument parser.
- Claude workdir trust is written into the seat's .claude.json when the pane will
run in a seat home. It previously always went to the operator's ~/.claude.json,
which would leave the seat prompting on its first turn.
Covers Jason's scope amendment for web1: without this seam, "multiple
authentication accounts and agent pegging to auth" cannot be demonstrated on a
roster-managed seat.
AMD1213-C: repair stale array consumer, fail closed on foreign link provenance, validate manifests before mutation, and exercise the fleet MCP preflight call path.
MAX_LEASE_TTL_SECONDS (daemon cap+default) and DEFAULT_TTL_SECONDS
(lease_promote client) both move to 3600. The 5-minute TTL made
gated-by-default sessions unusable (re-promotion mid-task); 1 hour
matches a working session. Full test:framework-shell RC=0.

build_construction skipped any normative source it could not read
(`except OSError: continue`) and promoted whatever remained. That is not a
degraded binding, it is a forged smaller one: the broker recomputes h_source /
h_payload from the fragments it is SENT (daemon.py:602-616), so an omitted
fragment is internally consistent and PAYLOAD_BINDING_MISMATCH cannot fire. A
partial law promotes exactly like a complete one and nothing downstream can tell
the difference.
Measured before this change, against a seeded home: with only USER.md readable,
the client produced a one-fragment construction with promotion=True. Removing
CONSTITUTION.md, STANDARDS.md or the runtime contract likewise promoted.
The classification mirrors the framework's own file ownership rather than
inventing one:
* CONSTITUTION.md / AGENTS.md / STANDARDS.md are framework-owned and
reconciled every upgrade (install.sh FRAMEWORK_OWNED,
config/file-adapter.ts FRAMEWORK_OWNED_FILES), as is the per-runtime
RUNTIME.md. Absent => IncompleteBinding. A deployment missing one is broken,
not minimal.
* SOUL.md / USER.md are deliberately not seeded by install.sh ("generated by
`mosaic init`") and TOOLS.md is seeded on first install only, so their
absence is legitimate. It is reported on stderr, never silent.
Unreadable is handled separately from absent for EVERY source, optional ones
included: a file that will not open is not a file that was never configured, and
collapsing the two is what let a permission change quietly shrink the law.
Also corrects this module's own docstring, which asserted that a VERIFIED lease
means "this agent is running THIS law". It does not. Both sides of the broker's
comparison originate in this client, so it detects corruption in transit and
nothing else. That overstatement is where the belief spread from; the stronger
claim needs the broker re-reading on-disk sources against a manifest the agent
cannot rewrite.
Test: promotion_binding_unittest.py, enumerated in test:framework-shell (the
enumeration guard's population is *test*.sh and does not cover Python, so an
unenumerated test here would simply never run). Falsifier executed: defeating the
guard while leaving the module API intact turns the suite red (12 failures);
restoring it returns green.

prune_stale_links_in_target compared "$resolved" == "$canonical_real/"* while
length-checking only $resolved. If $canonical_real were ever empty the pattern
collapses to == "/"* and matches every absolute path.
The failure is precisely inverted, which is what makes it worth fixing rather
than noting: is_mosaic_skill_name already `continue`s for names that ARE current
mosaic skills, so an empty prefix would delete exactly the FOREIGN symlinks in
every target directory and preserve the mosaic ones. On this host that is 4 base
installs, including codex's own .system entry.
Reported by mos-claude as #1087 after I introduced the same guard in the new
legacy-cleanup path in the previous commit and walked past this instance thirty
lines away. Same defect class, same file, one function apart.
$canonical_real is populated by readlink -f after a mkdir -p, so an empty value
requires readlink to fail — unlikely, but the consequence is deleting operator
symlinks across every harness, which is not a risk worth carrying for one test.
The enforcement half of the lease broker ships and denies; the promotion half
has no production caller anywhere in the package. Verified across 0.0.48, 0.0.49
and 0.0.50-next.2207: begin_verification / observe_receipt / promote_lease are
invoked only by broker-test-client.ts, the acceptance spec, unit tests, and two
probes under docs/.
Consequence: no lease on any host can reach VERIFIED, so mutator-gate denies
every mutator with MUTATOR_UNVERIFIED via a gate that nothing shipped can
satisfy. Runtimes that enforce the gate in-process (pi, via mosaic-extension's
tool_call hook) are bricked for mutators; runtimes whose gate is wired through a
settings hook escape only when that hook is absent — i.e. by being ungated.
This adds the client. It implements protocol steps 1, 4 and 5:
1. begin_verification -> mint a challenge, return the exact receipt text
2. the MODEL emits that text verbatim as its entire latest message
3. the runtime adapter ships that message to the observer socket
4. observe_receipt -> PENDING_PROMOTION
5. promote_lease -> VERIFIED
Step 2 is deliberately NOT implemented here, and that is the point.
is_verbatim_receipt uses hmac.compare_digest against the exact minted string —
explicitly "not a transcript substring" — which makes promotion a LIVENESS
PROOF: it requires a live model that received the challenge in its context and
echoed it exactly.
receipt-observer-client.py will post ANY string as the latest assistant message.
A promotion client that posted its own receipt would satisfy the broker while
proving nothing — a gate-disabler indistinguishable from a working fix unless
someone specifically looks. Emitting the receipt therefore belongs to the runtime
adapter, where a real model turn happens. A local diagnostic that posts its own
receipt exists in the operator's repo and is deliberately NOT shipped here.
The construction binds the exact normative source bytes, so a VERIFIED lease
means "this agent is running THIS law", not merely "this session id is known".
h_source/h_payload are derived by importing the framework's own
normative_fragments.build_payload rather than reimplementing it: the broker
derives them the same way and any divergence yields PAYLOAD_BINDING_MISMATCH.
There must be exactly one implementation.
session_identity() prefers the generation FILE over the env var, matching
lease_generation.py. Sending a generation higher than the broker's would revoke
the session's own authority (daemon.py:342-344), so it never guesses.
Verified end-to-end on sb-it-1-dt under a real lease-gated anchor: a mutator
denied rc=2 MUTATOR_UNVERIFIED, then begin -> observe -> promote -> VERIFIED,
then the same mutator allowed rc=0. Negative controls pass: a fresh session is
still denied, and an unrelated session still reads UNVERIFIED — promotion is
per-session and does not leak.
Still open: adapter wiring for step 2. Lazy promotion on first mutator attempt
avoids colliding with the Constitution's first-response mode declaration, since
compare_digest requires the receipt to be the WHOLE message.
Mosaic wrote into the operator's harness base installs — ~/.claude,
~/.pi/agent, ~/.codex, ~/.config/opencode — for settings, instructions, and a
102-symlink skill farm per harness. Any experiment with hooks or gating
therefore mutated the operator's own tooling, and a broken framework change
could take out the very harness needed to repair it.
Harness home isolation
----------------------
Each runtime now reads config from a dedicated mosaic-owned home via the
harness's own config-dir variable:
claude CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR ~/.config/mosaic/.claude
pi PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR ~/.config/mosaic/.pi (replaces ~/.pi/agent)
codex CODEX_HOME ~/.config/mosaic/.codex
opencode XDG_CONFIG_HOME ~/.config/mosaic/.opencode
These paths are manifest-UNKNOWN, so rule 3 (#791) resolves them to operator
ownership and a keep-mode upgrade can neither overwrite nor prune them.
A bare `claude` / `pi` keeps its own config AND auth, making it a structural
break-glass rather than one depending on restoring a file under pressure.
opencode is blunter than the rest: it has no dedicated variable and follows XDG,
so isolation also relocates XDG lookups for anything it spawns. Documented in
place.
mosaic-sync-skills now links into those homes and cleans the legacy farms it
previously planted in base installs. Ownership is proven by RESOLUTION, not by
name — only symlinks resolving inside the canonical/local skills dirs are
removed, mirroring the refusal already in commands/skill.js. Verified against a
real install: codex's own .system directory survived while its 102 mosaic links
were removed. Both resolution prefixes are length-checked first; an empty prefix
would make "$resolved" == "$prefix/"* match every absolute path and delete
foreign symlinks.
Immutable launch record
-----------------------
Every launch now appends one record to fleet/run/sessions/events.ndjson before
exec. Mandatory, mechanical, no model involvement.
pi rewrites its own argv to a bare `pi`, so /proc/<pid>/cmdline destroys the
launch evidence — that has already produced a confident wrong diagnosis ("this
agent bypassed the launcher"), disproved only by the parent's argv and only
because the parent had not yet exited. A record written before exec is the only
place this survives.
The path is the #797 Runtime Session Ledger, already operator-classified and
already covered by test-upgrade-manifest-guard.sh, which seeds it and proves a
populated ledger survives keep-mode upgrades — but nothing shipped ever wrote
it. This implements it in the shape that guard already asserts (0600 files under
a 0700 dir).
`mosaic` writes session.launch; launch-runtime.py appends lease.register with
the broker session id and activation capability. They correlate by an explicit
MOSAIC_LAUNCH_ID, never by pid: execRuntime uses spawnSync, so the runtime is a
child with a different pid.
Records normative fragment digests (CONSTITUTION/AGENTS/SOUL/USER/STANDARDS/
TOOLS/RUNTIME) — the same set the broker hashes for promotion, so drift is
mechanically detectable rather than a matter of judgement.
Credential-safe: env is captured as PRESENT NAMES ONLY, and argv values over
256 bytes become a sha256 + length rather than being inlined.
Also fixes CLI_VERSION resolution: '@mosaicstack/mosaic/package.json' is not in
the package exports map and always throws ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED.
resolveTool() uses that same failing specifier, which is why its documented
preference for bundled tools over the deployed ~/.config/mosaic copy has never
once applied — noted in place, not fixed here.
Verified on sb-it-1-dt: isolated homes written and base installs byte-identical
for all four harnesses; 408 legacy symlinks removed with 1 foreign entry
preserved; launch records paired across the spawn boundary. typecheck shows zero
errors in launch.ts (the @mosaicstack/types failures are pre-existing and
reproduce on a pristine origin/main worktree).
issue-comment.sh and pr-review.sh verify a durable write by pinning the
provider-returned object URL's origin and full path. The origin included the
SCHEME verbatim. On a Gitea whose ROOT_URL is configured `http://` while every
client reaches it over `https://`, the provider returns `http://` object URLs,
so the comparison rejects the provider's own truthful answer about a write that
LANDED. The failure is deterministic, not intermittent: every comment, every
time, on such a deployment.
The scheme was never what the check defends. The forgeries it exists to catch —
look-alike host, decoy path prefix, wrong owner/repo/kind/number — all vary the
HOST or the PATH. Both stay strict. `http` and `https` now collapse to one
scheme class; any other scheme (file:, ftp:, javascript:) stays distinguishing,
and an EXPLICIT non-default port still distinguishes, because a different port
is a different service on the same host.
Consequences of the bug, both observed:
- The wrapper reports failure on a comment that is durably on the issue/PR, and
attributes it to #865 ("no durable comment created"). The write landed; the
citation is wrong. Reproduced here: the harness's persisted state contains the
record while the wrapper exits 1.
- pr-review.sh's comment path is worse. On a host where no seat can create a
review OBJECT, comment-form is the only gate-16 review record obtainable, and
this check refuses all of it.
Test gap this closes: every URL fixture in both harnesses was `https://`, and
every negative case varied only host or path. The one axis that fails in
production had zero coverage — the fixtures encoded the assumption that breaks.
Added, in both suites:
- scheme-downgrade (http vs https, otherwise correct) — must be ACCEPTED. Fails
against the unmodified wrappers, passes against the fixed ones; verified in
both directions, and the negative control's captured output is the #865
misattribution above.
- explicit non-default port (`:8443`) — must stay REJECTED.
- non-web scheme (`ftp://`) — must stay REJECTED.
Also fixes test-issue-comment-readback.sh hermeticity (#1007), without which the
suite cannot run on any seat that has a per-agent Gitea token: detect-platform's
step-0 identity lookup reads ~/.config/mosaic/gitea-tokens/<identity>, outside
both XDG_CONFIG_HOME and MOSAIC_CREDENTIALS_FILE, so the suite resolved a
PRODUCTION credential and died at HTTP 401 before case 1. Same two-part fix
already merged for test-pr-review-gitea-comment.sh in #1006: a sandboxed HOME
plus an empty REPO-LOCAL mosaic.gitIdentity to shadow the global. Note the
env-var route does NOT work — detect-platform.sh reads `${MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY:-}`
and `:-` treats set-but-empty identically to unset.
The owner-side half of #991 (setting the deployment's Gitea ROOT_URL to https)
is not in scope here and is not made unnecessary by this change; this makes the
wrappers correct against a deployment that returns either scheme.
My previous commit said four. It is five. `test-issue-comment-readback.sh` has
the same defect and is fixed the same way, and I had already looked straight at
it and filed it as an *unrelated* silent failure. Correcting that here rather
than folding it in quietly.
WHY IT WAS MISSED — the general lesson, not the excuse. `run_comment()` sends
the wrapper's stdout AND stderr to `$OUTPUT_FILE`, and the `EXIT` trap deletes
`$WORK_DIR`. The suite therefore exits 1 with ZERO bytes on stdout and stderr,
and the one line that says what went wrong —
Error: Gitea authenticated-identity read failed with HTTP 401
— lives only inside a directory that no longer exists when anyone looks. Every
oracle I had swept the family with greps for a SYMPTOM in surviving output, so
against this suite all of them returned "nothing found", which I read as "clean"
in the first sweep and as "unrelated pre-existing failure" in the second. A
suite that discards or deletes its own evidence converts a post-hoc assay into a
non-measurement, and I wrote that sentence into the previous commit while it was
already false about a file in the same directory.
HOW IT WAS ACTUALLY FOUND. Intercept the identity read at its SOURCE instead of
grepping for its consequence: a PATH shim over `git` that logs every
`mosaic.gitIdentity` read — args, rc, and resolved value — to a file OUTSIDE any
suite's work dir, then execs the real git. Deletion-proof by construction, and
it measures the defect's cause rather than one of its symptoms. Sweeping all 16
suites with it under an ordinary invocation:
resolves a REAL identity (`mos-dt-0`) before the fix:
test-issue-comment-readback 1 read rc=1 (RED on every seat)
test-pr-review-repo-host-override 6 reads rc=0
test-ci-queue-wait-branch-absent 3 reads rc=0
the four fixed in the previous commit now read empty; the rest never read at all.
The latter two are NOT affected and are deliberately left alone: under a seat
replica (identity set, no per-slot token) neither reaches `get_gitea_token`'s
fail-loud branch, and under a canary HOME neither carries the canary credential
into any surviving artifact. They read the identity and never enter a credential
path. That residual is structural and belongs to the wrapper half of #1007 —
scoping the read with `git -C "$repo"` removes it for everyone at once.
An earlier version of that sweep reported the four fixed suites as still
resolving a real identity. That was my grep, not the suites: `value=\[..*\]` is
satisfied by `value=[] args=[…]`, because `.*` runs past the empty pair and
matches the closing bracket of the NEXT one. `value=\[[^]]` is the correct test.
Recorded because the wrong pattern failed in the direction that would have sent
me re-fixing four already-correct files.
VERIFICATION of this suite, four HOME arms, all rc=0 with zero non-empty
identity reads and the pass line on stdout: real HOME, seat replica, canary
HOME, and an empty HOME with no identity at all. Full 16-suite sweep after the
change: every suite rc=0.
CONSEQUENCE FOR THE FINDING LIST IN THE PREVIOUS COMMIT: item 2 there — the
"silently red, unrelated to #1007" suite — is withdrawn. It was #1007 all along.
Item 1 (`pr-metadata.sh:89-92`, the anonymous fallback that reports an HTTP 200
carrying valid JSON as "unknown API error") stands and is still unfixed here.
Refs #1007
CENSUS CORRECTION: FOUR suites, not the three my own #1007 audit named. The
fourth (test-pr-metadata-gitea.sh) was outside the candidate set that audit
worked from and was found only by sweeping the discriminator across all 16
tools/git/test-*.sh suites. Recording that as a correction to my finding, not
as part of the original claim.
THE DEFECT. get_gitea_token() (detect-platform.sh:502-599) resolves a per-agent
identity at STEP 0, from `git config --get mosaic.gitIdentity`, BEFORE both the
Mosaic credential loader (step 1) and the GITEA_TOKEN env check (step 2). On a
provisioned agent seat that value is set GLOBALLY in ~/.gitconfig and is
inherited by any freshly-`git init`ed repo, so step 0 reads a REAL per-slot
token out of $HOME and returns it without ever consulting the suite's own
MOSAIC_CREDENTIALS_FILE / GITEA_TOKEN fixtures. The suites were running against
production credentials, and the fixture credential each one carefully
constructs was inert.
THE FIX: an empty repo-local `mosaic.gitIdentity`. An empty local value shadows
the global one and reads back empty at rc=0, so step 0 declines. The env route
does NOT work: detect-platform.sh reads "${MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY:-}", and `:-`
treats set-but-empty identically to unset.
OPERATIVE vs CONTAINMENT — the two mechanisms are not interchangeable and the
comment in each suite says so. The pin is operative: it prevents the resolution.
The sandboxed HOME each suite now also gets is containment: it bounds a failure
the pin should already have prevented. Conflating them is how this class stays
invisible, because a decoy HOME REMOVES the trigger (~/.gitconfig is where the
global identity lives), so any suite audited under one reads clean however
vulnerable it is. To MEASURE, replicate a seat: a decoy HOME whose .gitconfig
sets mosaic.gitIdentity with no per-slot token, so step 0 reaches its fail-loud
branch. That note is in each file for the next auditor.
SECOND, INDEPENDENT DEFECT in test-pr-metadata-gitea.sh. Applying the pin alone
turned that suite RED — and a control at baseline 826a8b3 under a plain HOME
reproduced the same failure, so it is pre-existing, not introduced. Its
`GITEA_TOKEN="stub-token"` / `GITEA_URL="https://git.example.test"` pair can
never satisfy step 2, because step 2 accepts GITEA_TOKEN only when GITEA_URL
matches the remote host and this repo's origin is git.uscllc.com. The suite had
therefore only ever passed by resolving a REAL credential — step 0 on a seat, or
step 1 from the operator's own credentials.json. A MOSAIC_CREDENTIALS_FILE
fixture is added rather than leaning on the sandboxed HOME making step 1 find
nothing: a test that passes because production configuration is ABSENT fails the
moment it is present. Shipping the pin without this would have moved the failure
rather than removed it.
NO CI ARM. .woodpecker/ci.yml does not run these suites; packages/mosaic/
package.json:28 (test:framework-shell) runs an ENUMERATED list that excludes all
four. They run only by hand — i.e. exclusively on a provisioned seat, the one
environment where the defect is live. "Passes in CI, fails on a seat" does not
apply here; there is no CI observation at all.
VERIFICATION (seat replica = decoy HOME with mosaic.gitIdentity set, no per-slot
token; canary = same plus a marked non-credential at both per-slot paths; plain
= empty HOME; real = ordinary invocation):
- bash -n clean on all four.
- Sweep of all 16 suites at baseline 826a8b3 under the seat replica:
test-gitea-login-resolution rc=1 REACHES-STEP0; test-issue-create-
interactive-auth rc=1 REACHES-STEP0; test-pr-merge-gitea-empty-uid rc=1
REACHES-STEP0; test-pr-metadata-gitea rc=1 REACHES-STEP0.
- Same sweep after: every row rc=0 with step0 absent.
- test-gitea-token-identity flags REACHES-STEP0 in BOTH arms and is NOT a
defect: it runs under `env -i HOME="$FAKE_HOME"` (line 77) and its hit is
its own deliberate assert_failloud fixtures (lines 158-171). The fail-loud
grep matches the intended behaviour as well as the defect, so it needs the
second discriminator; recorded here so the next sweep does not re-file it.
- Durable-argv assay (a PATH shim that tees argv out of each suite's own mock
curl, because test-pr-merge-gitea-empty-uid truncates its log between phases
and its EXIT trap removes the sandbox — a post-hoc read of that suite is a
non-measurement, and "no trace" there is not a clearance):
test-pr-merge-gitea-empty-uid before: canary token in argv, fixture never
used. after: fixture token in argv, canary absent. 5 curl calls both arms.
test-pr-metadata-gitea before: canary in argv. after: both calls
carry the fixture token against git.uscllc.com.
- test-pr-metadata-gitea across seat/canary/plain HOMEs after the fix: rc=0,
rc=0, rc=0.
- All four under the real HOME: rc=0. No regression to ordinary invocation.
The comment block is duplicated across the four files rather than pointing at a
shared note. Deliberate, and matching the merged #1006 precedent
(test-pr-review-gitea-comment.sh:87-95): the reader who needs it is auditing one
file.
TWO FINDINGS DELIBERATELY NOT FIXED HERE (out of this branch's scope, to be
filed):
1. pr-metadata.sh:89-92 — the anonymous curl fallback does not check ^2, so an
HTTP 200 carrying valid JSON is reported as "unknown API error" at rc=1.
2. test-issue-comment-readback.sh exits 1 with ZERO bytes on stdout AND
stderr, dying at its first seed_state python3 heredoc. Reproduces at
baseline 826a8b3 under both a seat replica and the real HOME. Silently red
at main for everyone; unrelated to #1007.

GATE RECORD: review CLEAR at this exact head (author != reviewer, pre-registered diff-blind checks) + terminal-green CI at this exact head + queue guard clear.
CI CAVEAT (#973): green on the wake suites is currently WEAKER THAN IT LOOKS, IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. grep error/spawn exit codes are read as absence across 257 assertion sites in six idiom forms; 36 inverted (&&-fail) sites — including 19 credential-security canaries — fail toward GREEN under load. These greens were obtained on solo reruns after load-correlated FALSE reds (2115/2116/2118; main itself was red). This merge's safety therefore rests on the CONTENT review, not on the green. Remediation charter fa551c2d0 is authored and in flight.
