+ * E2E integration test — POST /api/bootstrap/setup

+ * Regression guard for the `import type { BootstrapSetupDto }` class-erasure
+ * bug (IUV-M01, issue #436).
+ *
+ * When `BootstrapSetupDto` is imported with `import type`, TypeScript erases
+ * the class at compile time. NestJS then sees `Object` as the `@Body()`
+ * metatype, and ValidationPipe with `whitelist:true + forbidNonWhitelisted:true`
+ * treats every property as non-whitelisted, returning:
+ *
+ *   400 { message: ["property email should not exist", "property password should not exist"] }
+ *
+ * The fix is a plain value import (`import { BootstrapSetupDto }`), which
+ * preserves the class reference so Nest can read the class-validator decorators.
+ *
+ * This test MUST fail if `import type` is re-introduced on `BootstrapSetupDto`.
+ * A controller unit test that constructs ValidationPipe manually won't catch
+ * this — only the real DI binding path exercises the metatype lookup.

Every Mosaic package gets first-class CLI surface. The first-run experience works end-to-end with no manual stitching. Gateway token recovery is possible without the web UI. Opt-in telemetry uses the published telemetry clients.
+**ID:** install-ux-v2-20260405
+**Statement:** The install-ux-hardening mission shipped the plumbing (uninstall, masked password, hooks consent, unified flow, headless path), but the first real end-to-end run surfaced a critical regression and a collection of UX failings that make the wizard feel neither quick nor intelligent. This mission closes the bootstrap regression as a hotfix, then rethinks the first-run experience around a provider-first, intent-driven flow with a drill-down main menu and a genuinely fast quick-start.
 **Phase:** Execution
-**Current Milestone:** cu-m03 / cu-m04 / cu-m05 (parallel-eligible)
-**Progress:** 2 / 8 milestones
+**Current Milestone:** IUV-M03
+**Progress:** 2 / 3 milestones
 **Status:** active
-**Last Updated:** 2026-04-04
+**Last Updated:** 2026-04-05 (IUV-M02 complete — CORS/FQDN + skill installer rework)
+**Parent Mission:** [install-ux-hardening-20260405](./archive/missions/install-ux-hardening-20260405/MISSION-MANIFEST.md) (complete — `mosaic-v0.0.25`)
+
+## Context
+
+Real-run testing of `@mosaicstack/mosaic@0.0.25` uncovered:
+
+1. **Critical:** admin bootstrap fails with HTTP 400 `property email should not exist` — `bootstrap.controller.ts` uses `import type { BootstrapSetupDto }`, erasing the class at runtime. Nest's `@Body()` falls back to plain `Object` metatype, and ValidationPipe with `forbidNonWhitelisted` rejects every property. One-character fix (drop the `type` keyword), but it blocks the happy path of the release that just shipped.
+2. The wizard reports `✔ Wizard complete` and `✔ Done` _after_ the bootstrap 400 — failure only propagates in headless mode (`wizard.ts:147`).
+3. The gateway port prompt does not prefill `14242` in the input buffer.
+4. `"What is Mosaic?"` intro copy does not mention Pi SDK (the actual agent runtime behind Claude/Codex/OpenCode).
+5. CORS origin prompt is confusing — the user should be able to supply an FQDN/hostname and have the system derive the CORS value.
+6. Skill / additional feature install section is unusable in practice.
+7. Quick-start asks far too many questions to be meaningfully "quick".
+8. No drill-down main menu — everything is a linear interrogation.
+9. Provider setup happens late and without intelligence. An OpenClaw-style provider-first flow would let the user describe what they want in natural language, have the agent expound on it, and have the agent choose its own name based on that intent.
 
 ## Success Criteria
 
-- [ ] AC-1: Fresh machine `bash <(curl …install.sh)` → single command lands on a working authenticated gateway with a usable admin token; no secondary manual wizards required
-- [ ] AC-2: `mosaic --help` lists every sub-package as a top-level command and is alphabetized for readability
-- [ ] AC-3: `mosaic auth`, `mosaic brain`, `mosaic forge`, `mosaic log`, `mosaic macp`, `mosaic memory`, `mosaic queue`, `mosaic storage`, `mosaic telemetry` each expose at least one working subcommand that exercises the underlying package
-- [ ] AC-4: Gateway admin token can be rotated or recovered from the CLI alone — operator is never stranded because the web UI is inaccessible
-- [ ] AC-5: `mosaic telemetry` uses the published `@mosaicstack/telemetry-client-js` (from the Gitea npm registry); local OTEL stays for wide-event logging / post-mortems; remote upload is opt-in and disabled by default
-- [ ] AC-6: Install → wizard → gateway install → TUI verification flow is a single cohesive path with clear state transitions and no dead ends
-- [ ] AC-7: `@mosaicstack/mosaic` is the sole `mosaic` binary owner; `@mosaicstack/cli` is gone from the repo and all docs
-- [ ] AC-8: All milestones ship as merged PRs with green CI, closed issues, and updated release notes
+- [x] AC-1: Admin bootstrap completes successfully end-to-end on a fresh install (DTO value import, no forbidNonWhitelisted regression); covered by an integration or e2e test that exercises the real DTO binding. _(PR #440)_
+- [x] AC-2: Wizard fails loudly (non-zero exit, clear error) when the bootstrap stage returns `completed: false`, in both interactive and headless modes. No more silent `✔ Wizard complete` after a 400. _(PR #440)_
+- [x] AC-3: Gateway port prompt prefills `14242` in the input field (user can press Enter to accept). _(PR #440)_
+- [x] AC-4: `"What is Mosaic?"` intro copy mentions Pi SDK as the underlying agent runtime. _(PR #440)_
+- [x] AC-5: Release `mosaic-v0.0.26` tagged and published to the Gitea npm registry, unblocking the 0.0.25 happy path. _(tag: mosaic-v0.0.26, registry: 0.0.26 live)_
+- [ ] AC-6: CORS origin prompt replaced with FQDN/hostname input; CORS string is derived from that.
+- [ ] AC-7: Skill / additional feature install section is reworked until it is actually usable end-to-end (worker defines the concrete failure modes during diagnosis).
+- [ ] AC-8: First-run flow has a drill-down main menu with at least `Plugins` (Recommended / Custom), `Providers`, and the other top-level configuration groups. Linear interrogation is gone.
+- [ ] AC-9: `Quick Start` path completes with a minimal, curated set of questions (target: under 90 seconds for a returning user; define the exact baseline during design).
+- [ ] AC-10: Provider setup happens first, driven by a natural-language intake prompt. The agent expounds on the user's intent and chooses its own name based on that intent (OpenClaw-style). Naming is confirmable / overridable.
+- [ ] AC-11: All milestones ship as merged PRs with green CI and closed issues.

-## Coordination
+## Risks
 
-- **Primary Agent:** claude-opus-4-6[1m]
-- **Sibling Agents:** sonnet (standard implementation), haiku (status/explore/verify), codex (coding-heavy tasks)
-- **Shared Contracts:** `docs/PRD.md` (existing v0.1.0 PRD — still the long-term target), this manifest, `docs/TASKS.md`, `docs/scratchpads/cli-unification-20260404.md`
+- **Hotfix regression surface** — the `import type` → `import` fix on the DTO class is one character but needs an integration test that binds the real DTO, not just a controller unit test, to prevent the same class-erasure regression from sneaking back in.
+- **LLM-driven intake latency / offline** — M03's provider-first intent flow assumes an available LLM call to expound on user input and choose a name. Offline installs need a deterministic fallback.
+- **Menu vs. linear back-compat** — M03 changes the top-level flow shape; existing `tools/install.sh --yes` + env-var headless path must continue to work.
+- **Scope creep in M03** — "redesign the wizard" can absorb arbitrary work. Keep it bounded with explicit non-goals.

-## Milestone 5 — Sub-package CLI surface

-> Pattern: each sub-package exports `register<Name>Command(program: Command)` co-located with the library code (proven by `@mosaicstack/quality-rails`). Wire into `packages/mosaic/src/cli.ts`.

+# Mission Manifest — CLI Unification & E2E First-Run
+
+> Persistent document tracking full mission scope, status, and session history.
+> Updated by the orchestrator at each phase transition and milestone completion.
+
+## Mission
+
+**ID:** cli-unification-20260404
+**Statement:** Transform the Mosaic CLI from a partially-duplicated, manually-assembled experience into a single cohesive entry point that installs, configures, and controls the entire Mosaic system. Every Mosaic package gets first-class CLI surface. The first-run experience works end-to-end with no manual stitching. Gateway token recovery is possible without the web UI. Opt-in telemetry uses the published telemetry clients.
+**Phase:** Complete
+**Current Milestone:** —
+**Progress:** 8 / 8 milestones
+**Status:** completed
+**Last Updated:** 2026-04-05
+**Release:** [`mosaic-v0.0.24`](https://git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/mosaic-stack/releases/tag/mosaic-v0.0.24) (`@mosaicstack/mosaic@0.0.24`, alpha — stays in 0.0.x until GA)
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] AC-1: Fresh machine `bash <(curl …install.sh)` → single command lands on a working authenticated gateway with a usable admin token; no secondary manual wizards required
+- [x] AC-2: `mosaic --help` lists every sub-package as a top-level command and is alphabetized for readability
+- [x] AC-3: `mosaic auth`, `mosaic brain`, `mosaic forge`, `mosaic log`, `mosaic macp`, `mosaic memory`, `mosaic queue`, `mosaic storage`, `mosaic telemetry` each expose at least one working subcommand that exercises the underlying package
+- [x] AC-4: Gateway admin token can be rotated or recovered from the CLI alone — operator is never stranded because the web UI is inaccessible
+- [x] AC-5: `mosaic telemetry` uses the published `@mosaicstack/telemetry-client-js` (from the Gitea npm registry); local OTEL stays for wide-event logging / post-mortems; remote upload is opt-in and disabled by default
+- [x] AC-6: Install → wizard → gateway install → TUI verification flow is a single cohesive path with clear state transitions and no dead ends
+- [x] AC-7: `@mosaicstack/mosaic` is the sole `mosaic` binary owner; `@mosaicstack/cli` is gone from the repo and all docs
+- [x] AC-8: All milestones ship as merged PRs with green CI, closed issues, and updated release notes

+# Mission Manifest — Install UX Hardening
+
+> Persistent document tracking full mission scope, status, and session history.
+> Updated by the orchestrator at each phase transition and milestone completion.
+
+## Mission
+
+**ID:** install-ux-hardening-20260405
+**Statement:** Close the remaining gaps in the Mosaic Stack first-run and teardown experience uncovered by the post-`cli-unification` audit. A user MUST be able to cleanly uninstall the stack; the wizard MUST make security-sensitive surfaces visible (hooks, password entry); and CI/headless installs MUST NOT hang on interactive prompts. The longer-term goal is a single cohesive first-run flow that collapses `mosaic wizard` and `mosaic gateway install` into one state-bridged experience.
+**Phase:** Complete
+**Current Milestone:** —
+**Progress:** 3 / 3 milestones
+**Status:** complete
+**Last Updated:** 2026-04-05 (mission complete)
+**Parent Mission:** [cli-unification-20260404](./archive/missions/cli-unification-20260404/MISSION-MANIFEST.md) (complete)
+
+## Context
+
+Post-merge audit of `cli-unification-20260404` (AC-1, AC-6) validated that the first-run wizard covers first user, password, admin tokens, gateway instance config, skills, and SOUL.md/USER.md init. The audit surfaced six gaps, grouped into three tracks of independent value.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [x] AC-1: `mosaic uninstall` (top-level) cleanly reverses every mutation made by `tools/install.sh` — framework data, npm CLI, nested stack deps, runtime asset injections in `~/.claude/`, npmrc scope mapping, PATH edits. Dry-run supported. `--keep-data` preserves memory + user files + gateway DB. (PR #429)
+- [x] AC-2: `curl … | bash -s -- --uninstall` works without requiring a functioning CLI. (PR #429)
+- [x] AC-3: Password entry in `bootstrapFirstUser` is masked (no plaintext echo); confirm prompt added. (PR #431)
+- [x] AC-4: Wizard has an explicit hooks stage that previews which hooks will be installed, asks for confirmation, and records the user's choice. `mosaic config hooks list|enable|disable` surface exists. (PR #431 — consent; PR #433 — finalize-stage gating now honors `state.hooks.accepted === false` end-to-end)
+- [x] AC-5: `runConfigWizard` and `bootstrapFirstUser` accept a headless path (env vars + `--yes`) so `tools/install.sh --yes` + `MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1` completes end-to-end in CI without TTY. (PR #431)
+- [x] AC-6: `mosaic wizard` and `mosaic gateway install` are collapsed into a single cohesive entry point with shared state; gateway install is now terminal stages 11 & 12 of `runWizard`, session-file bridge removed, `mosaic gateway install` preserved as a thin standalone wrapper. (PR #433)
+- [x] AC-7: All milestones shipped as merged PRs with green CI and closed issues. (PRs #429, #431, #433)

+| IUH-M03   | opus             | Architectural refactor; state machine design decisions                 |
+
+## Risks
+
+- **Reversal completeness** — runtime asset linking creates `.mosaic-bak-*` backups; uninstall must honor them vs. when to delete. Ambiguity without an install manifest.
+- **npm global nested deps** — `npm uninstall -g @mosaicstack/mosaic` removes nested `@mosaicstack/*`, but ownership conflicts with explicitly installed peer packages (`@mosaicstack/gateway`, `@mosaicstack/memory`) need test coverage.
+- **Headless bootstrap** — admin password via env var is a credential on disk; needs clear documentation that `MOSAIC_ADMIN_PASSWORD` is intended for CI-only and should be rotated post-install.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- `mosaicstack.dev/install.sh` vanity URL (blocked on marketing site work)
+- Uninstall for the `@mosaicstack/gateway` database contents — delegated to `mosaic gateway uninstall` semantics already in place
+- Signature/checksum verification of install scripts

-### Signing In
+### First-Run Wizard
+
+After install the wizard launches automatically. You can re-run it at any time:
+
+```bash
+mosaic wizard
+```
+
+The wizard guides you through:
+
+1. Gateway discovery or installation (`mosaic gateway install`)
+2. Authentication (`mosaic gateway login`)
+3. Post-install health check (`mosaic gateway verify`)
+
+### Gateway Login and Token Recovery
+
+```bash
+# Authenticate with a gateway and save a session token
+mosaic gateway login
+
+# Verify the gateway is reachable and responding
+mosaic gateway verify
+
+# Rotate your current API token
+mosaic gateway config rotate-token
+
+# Recover a token via BetterAuth cookie (for accounts with no token)
+mosaic gateway config recover-token
+```
+
+If you have an existing gateway account but lost your token (common after a
+reinstall), use `mosaic gateway config recover-token` to retrieve a new one
+without recreating your account.
+
+### Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Print full config as JSON
+mosaic config show
+
+# Read a specific key
+mosaic config get gateway.url
+
+# Write a key
+mosaic config set gateway.url http://localhost:14242

+## Telemetry
+
+Mosaic includes an OpenTelemetry-based telemetry system. Local telemetry
+(traces, metrics sent to Jaeger) is always available. Remote telemetry upload
+requires explicit opt-in.
+
+### Local Telemetry
+
+```bash
+# Show local OTEL collector / Jaeger status
+mosaic telemetry local status
+
+# Tail live OTEL spans
+mosaic telemetry local tail
+
+# Open Jaeger UI URL
+mosaic telemetry local jaeger
+```
+
+### Remote Telemetry
+
+Remote upload is a no-op (dry-run) until you opt in. Your consent state is
+persisted in the config file.
+
+```bash
+# Show current consent state
+mosaic telemetry status
+
+# Opt in to remote telemetry
+mosaic telemetry opt-in
+
+# Opt out (data stays local)
+mosaic telemetry opt-out
+
+# Test telemetry pipeline without uploading

 - **pr-create.sh wrapper bug:** Discovered during M1 — `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/pr-create.sh` line 158 uses `eval "$CMD"`, which shell-evaluates any backticks / `$(…)` / `${…}` in PR bodies. Workaround: strip backticks from PR bodies (use bold / italic / plain text instead), or use `tea pr create` directly. Captured in openbrain as gotcha. Should be fixed upstream in Mosaic tools repo at some point, but out of scope for this mission.
 - **Mosaic coord / orchestrator session lock drift:** `.mosaic/orchestrator/session.lock` gets re-written every session launch and shows up as a dirty working tree on branch switch. Not blocking — just noise to ignore.
 
+## Session 2 Log (2026-04-05)
+
+**Session 2 agent:** claude-opus-4-6[1m]
+**Mode:** parallel orchestration across worktrees
+
+### Wave 1 — M3 (gateway token recovery)
+
+- CU-03-01 plan landed as PR #401 → `docs/plans/gateway-token-recovery.md`. Confirmed no server changes needed — AdminGuard already accepts BetterAuth cookies, `POST /api/admin/tokens` is the existing mint endpoint.
+- CU-03-02..07 implemented as PR #411: `mosaic gateway login` (interactive BetterAuth sign-in, session persisted), `mosaic gateway config rotate-token`, `mosaic gateway config recover-token`, fix for `bootstrapFirstUser` "user exists, no token" dead-end, 22 new unit tests. New files: `commands/gateway/login.ts`, `commands/gateway/token-ops.ts`.
+- CU-03-08 independent code review surfaced 2 BLOCKER findings (session.json world-readable, password echoed during prompt) + 3 important findings (trimmed password, cross-gateway token persistence, unsafe `--password` flag). Remediated in PR #414: `saveSession` writes mode 0o600, new `promptSecret()` uses TTY raw mode, persistence target now matches `--gateway` host, `--password` marked UNSAFE with warning.
+
+### Wave 2 — M4 (help ergonomics + mosaic config)
+
+- CU-04-01..03 landed as PR #402: `configureHelp({ sortSubcommands: true })` on root + gateway subgroup, plus an `addHelpText('after', …)` grouped-reference section (Commander 13 has no native command-group API).
+- CU-04-04/05 landed as PR #408: top-level `mosaic config` with `show|get|set|edit|path`, extends `config/config-service.ts` with `readAll`, `getValue`, `setValue`, `getConfigPath`, `isInitialized` + `ConfigSection`/`ResolvedConfig` types. Additive only.
+
+### Wave 3 — M5 (sub-package CLI surface, 8 commands + integration)
+
+Parallel-dispatched in isolated worktrees. All merged:
+
+- PR #403 `mosaic brain`, PR #404 `mosaic queue`, PR #405 `mosaic storage`, PR #406 `mosaic memory`, PR #407 `mosaic log`, PR #410 `mosaic macp`, PR #412 `mosaic forge`, PR #413 `mosaic auth`.
+- Every package exports `register<Name>Command(parent: Command)` co-located with library code, following `@mosaicstack/quality-rails` pattern. Each wired into `packages/mosaic/src/cli.ts` with alphabetized `register…Command(program)` calls.
+- PR #415 landed CU-05-10 integration smoke test (`packages/mosaic/src/cli-smoke.spec.ts`, 19 tests covering all 9 registrars) PLUS a pre-existing exports bug fix in `packages/macp/package.json` (`default` pointed at `./src/index.ts` instead of `./dist/index.js`, breaking ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND when compiled mosaic CLI tried to load macp at runtime). Caught by empirical `node packages/mosaic/dist/cli.js --help` test before merge.
+
+### New gotchas captured in Session 2
+
+- **`pr-create.sh` "Remote repository required" failure:** wrapper can't detect origin in multi-remote contexts. Fallback used throughout: direct Gitea API `curl -X POST …/api/v1/repos/mosaicstack/mosaic-stack/pulls` with body JSON.
+- **`publish` workflow killed on post-merge pushes:** pipelines 735, 742, 747, 750, 758, 767 all show the Docker build step killed after `ci` workflow succeeded. Pre-existing infrastructure issue (observed on #714/#715 pre-mission). The `ci` workflow is the authoritative gate; `publish` killing is noise.
+- **macp exports.default misaligned:** latent bug from original monorepo consolidation — every other package already pointed at `dist/`. Only exposed when compiled CLI started loading macp at runtime.
+- **Commander 13 grouping:** no native command-group API; workaround is `addHelpText('after', groupedReferenceString)` + alphabetized flat list via `sortSubcommands: true`.
+
+### Wave 4 — M6 + M7 (parallel)
+
+- M6 `mosaic telemetry` landed as PR #417 (merge `a531029c`). Full scope CU-06-01..05: `@mosaicstack/telemetry-client-js` shim, `telemetry local {status,tail,jaeger}`, top-level `telemetry {status,opt-in,opt-out,test,upload}` with dry-run default, persistent consent state. New files: `packages/mosaic/src/commands/telemetry.ts`, `src/telemetry/client-shim.ts`, `src/telemetry/consent-store.ts`, plus `telemetry.spec.ts`.
+- M7 unified first-run UX landed as PR #418 (merge `872c1245`). Full scope CU-07-01..04: `install.sh` `--yes`/`--no-auto-launch` flags + auto-handoff to wizard + gateway install, wizard/gateway-install coordination via transient state file, `mosaic gateway verify` post-install healthcheck, Docker-based `tools/e2e-install-test.sh`.
+
+### Wave 5 — M8 (release)
+
+- PR #419 (merge `b9d464de`) — CLI unification release v0.1.0. Single cohesive docs + release PR:
+  - README.md: unified command tree, new install UX, `mosaic gateway` and `mosaic config` sections, removed stale `@mosaicstack/cli` refs.
+  - docs/guides/user-guide.md: new "Sub-package Commands" + "Telemetry" sections covering all 11 top-level commands.
+  - `packages/mosaic/package.json`: bumped 0.0.21 → 0.1.0 (CI publishes on merge).
+- Git tag: `mosaic-v0.1.0` (scoped to avoid collision with existing `v0.1.0` repo tag) — pushed to origin on merge sha.
+- Gitea release: https://git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/mosaic-stack/releases/tag/mosaic-v0.1.0 — "@mosaicstack/mosaic v0.1.0 — CLI Unification".
+
+### Wave 6 — M8 correction (version regression)
+
+PR #419 bumped `@mosaicstack/mosaic` 0.0.21 → 0.1.0 and released as `mosaic-v0.1.0`. This was wrong on two counts:
+
+1. **Versioning policy violation.** The project stays in `0.0.x` alpha until GA. Minor bump to `0.1.0` jumped out of alpha without authorization.
+2. **macp exports fix never reached the registry.** PR #415 fixed `packages/macp/package.json` `exports.default` pointing at `./src/index.ts`, but did NOT bump macp's version. When the post-merge publish workflow ran on #419, it published `@mosaicstack/mosaic@0.1.0` but `@mosaicstack/macp@0.0.2` was "already published" so the fix was silently skipped. Result: users running `mosaic update` got mosaic 0.1.0 which depends on macp and resolves to the still-broken registry copy of macp@0.0.2, failing with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` on `./src/index.ts` at CLI startup.
+
+Correction PR:
+
+- `@mosaicstack/mosaic` 0.1.0 → `0.0.22` (stay in alpha)
+- `@mosaicstack/macp` 0.0.2 → `0.0.3` (force republish with the exports fix)
+- Delete Gitea tag `mosaic-v0.1.0` + release
+- Delete `@mosaicstack/mosaic@0.1.0` from the Gitea npm registry so `latest` reverts to the highest remaining version
+- Create tag `mosaic-v0.0.22` + Gitea release
+
+**Lesson captured:** every package whose _source_ changes must also have its _version_ bumped, because the publish workflow silently skips "already published" versions. `@mosaicstack/macp@0.0.2` had the bad exports in the registry from day one; the in-repo fix in #415 was invisible to installed-from-registry consumers until the version bumped.
+
+### Wave 7 — Waves 2 & 3 correction (same systemic bug)
+
+After Wave 6's correction (PR #421) landed `mosaic-v0.0.22`, a clean global install still crashed with `Named export 'registerBrainCommand' not found` — and after fixing brain/forge/log in PR #422, the next clean install crashed with `registerMemoryCommand` not found. Same root cause: M5 (PR #416) added `registerXCommand` exports to memory, queue, storage, brain, forge, log, and config but only bumped a subset of versions. The publish workflow silently skipped every unchanged-version package, leaving the M5 exports absent from the registry.
+
+Three cascaded correction PRs were required because each attempt only surfaced the next stale package at runtime:
+
+- **PR #421** — macp 0.0.2 → 0.0.3, mosaic 0.1.0 → 0.0.22, delete `mosaic-v0.1.0` tag/release/registry version
+- **PR #422** — brain/forge/log 0.0.2 → 0.0.3, mosaic 0.0.22 → 0.0.23
+- **PR #423** — memory/queue/storage 0.0.3 → 0.0.4, mosaic 0.0.23 → 0.0.24
+
+**First clean end-to-end verification** after PR #423:
+
+```
+$ npm i -g @mosaicstack/mosaic@latest   # installs 0.0.24
+$ mosaic --help                          # exits 0, prints full alphabetized command list
+```
+
+**Systemic fix (follow-up):** The publish workflow's "already published, skipping" tolerance is dangerous when source changes without version bumps. Options to prevent recurrence: (a) fail publish if any workspace package's dist files differ from registry content at the same version, or (b) CI lint check that any `packages/*/src/**` change in a PR also modifies `packages/*/package.json` version.
+
+### Mission outcome
+
+All 8 milestones, all 8 success criteria met in-repo. Released as `mosaic-v0.0.24` (alpha) after three cascaded correction PRs (#421, #422, #423) fixing the same systemic publish-skip bug across macp, brain, forge, log, memory, queue, and storage. First version where `npm i -g @mosaicstack/mosaic@latest && mosaic --help` works end-to-end from a clean global install.

+# Install UX Hardening — IUH-M01 Session Notes
+
+## Session: 2026-04-05 (agent-ad6b6696)
+
+### Plan
+
+**Manifest schema decision:**
+
+- Version 1 JSON at `~/.config/mosaic/.install-manifest.json` (mode 0600)
+- Written by `tools/install.sh` after successful install
+- Fields: version, installedAt, cliVersion, frameworkVersion, mutations{directories, npmGlobalPackages, npmrcLines, shellProfileEdits, runtimeAssetCopies}
+- Uninstall reads it; if missing → heuristic mode (warn user)
+
+**File list:**
+
+- NEW: `packages/mosaic/src/runtime/install-manifest.ts` — read/write helpers + types
+- NEW: `packages/mosaic/src/runtime/install-manifest.spec.ts` — unit tests
+- NEW: `packages/mosaic/src/commands/uninstall.ts` — command implementation
+- NEW: `packages/mosaic/src/commands/uninstall.spec.ts` — unit tests
+- MOD: `packages/mosaic/src/cli.ts` — register `uninstall` command
+- MOD: `tools/install.sh` — write manifest on success + add `--uninstall` path
+
+**Runtime asset list (from mosaic-link-runtime-assets / framework/install.sh):**
+
+- `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` (source: `$MOSAIC_HOME/runtime/claude/CLAUDE.md`)
+- `~/.claude/settings.json` (source: `$MOSAIC_HOME/runtime/claude/settings.json`)
+- `~/.claude/hooks-config.json` (source: `$MOSAIC_HOME/runtime/claude/hooks-config.json`)
+- `~/.claude/context7-integration.md` (source: `$MOSAIC_HOME/runtime/claude/context7-integration.md`)
+- `~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md` (source: `$MOSAIC_HOME/runtime/opencode/AGENTS.md`)
+- `~/.codex/instructions.md` (source: `$MOSAIC_HOME/runtime/codex/instructions.md`)
+
+**Reversal logic:**
+
+1. If `.mosaic-bak-<stamp>` exists for a file → restore it
+2. Else if managed copy exists → remove it
+3. Never touch files not in the known list
+
+**npmrc reversal:**
+
+- Only remove line `@mosaicstack:registry=https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/`
+- If manifest has the line, use that as authoritative; else check heuristically
+
+**PATH reversal:**
+
+- Check install.sh: it does NOT add PATH entries to shell profiles (framework/install.sh migration removes old `$MOSAIC_HOME/bin` PATH entries in v0/v1→v2 migration, but new install does NOT add PATH)
+- ASSUMPTION: No PATH edits in current install (v0.0.24+). Shell profiles not modified by current install.
+- The `$PREFIX/bin` is mentioned in a warning but NOT added to shell profiles by install.sh.
+- shellProfileEdits array will be empty for new installs; heuristic mode also skips it.
+
+**Test strategy:**
+
+- Unit test manifest read/write with temp dir mocking
+- Unit test command registration
+- Unit test dry-run flag (no actual fs mutations)
+- Unit test --keep-data skips protected paths
+- Unit test heuristic mode warning
+
+**Implementation order:**
+
+1. install-manifest.ts helpers
+2. install-manifest.spec.ts tests
+3. uninstall.ts command
+4. uninstall.spec.ts tests
+5. cli.ts registration
+6. tools/install.sh manifest writing + --uninstall path
+
+ASSUMPTION: No PATH modifications in current install.sh (v0.0.24). Framework v0/v1→v2 migration cleaned old PATH entries but current install does not add new ones.
+ASSUMPTION: `--uninstall` in install.sh handles framework + cli + npmrc only; gateway teardown deferred to `mosaic gateway uninstall`.
+ASSUMPTION: Pi settings.json edits (skills paths) added by framework/install.sh are NOT reversed in this iteration — too risky to touch user Pi config without manifest evidence. Noted as follow-up.

+## Session 2 — 2026-04-05 (orchestrator resume)
+
+### IUH-M01 completion summary
+
+- **PR:** #429 merged as `25cada77`
+- **CI:** green (Woodpecker)
+- **Issue:** #425 closed
+- **Files:** +1205 lines across 4 new + 2 modified + 1 docs
+- **Tests:** 14 new, 170 total passing
+
+### Follow-ups captured from worker report
+
+1. **Pi settings.json reversal deferred** — worker flagged as too risky without manifest evidence. Future IUH task should add manifest entries for Pi settings mutations. Not blocking M02/M03.
+2. **Pre-existing `cli-smoke.spec.ts` failure** — `@mosaicstack/brain` package entry resolution fails in Vitest. Unrelated to IUH-M01. Worth a separate issue later.
+3. **`pr-create.sh` wrapper bug with multiline bodies** — wrapper evals body args as shell when they contain newlines/paths. Worker fell back to Gitea REST API. Same class of bug I hit earlier with `issue-create.sh`. Worth a tooling-team issue to fix both wrappers.
+
+### Mission doc sync
+
+cli-unification docs that were archived before the M01 subagent ran did not travel into the M01 PR (they were local, stashed before pull). Re-applying now:
+
+- `docs/archive/missions/cli-unification-20260404/` (the old manifest + tasks)
+- `docs/MISSION-MANIFEST.md` (new install-ux-hardening content)
+- `docs/TASKS.md` (new install-ux-hardening content)
+
+Committing as `docs: scaffold install-ux-hardening mission + archive cli-unification`.

+Delegate IUH-M02 to a sonnet subagent in an isolated worktree.

+
+## Session 3: 2026-04-05 (agent-a6ff34a5) — IUH-M02 Wizard Remediation
+
+### Plan
+
+**AC-3: Password masking + confirmation**
+
+- New `packages/mosaic/src/prompter/masked-prompt.ts` — raw-mode stdin reader that suppresses echo, handles backspace/Ctrl+C/Enter.
+- `bootstrapFirstUser` in `packages/mosaic/src/commands/gateway/install.ts`: replace `rl.question('Admin password...')` with `promptMaskedPassword()`, require confirm pass, keep min-8 validation.
+- Headless path: when `MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1` or `!process.stdin.isTTY`, read `MOSAIC_ADMIN_PASSWORD` env var directly.
+
+**AC-4a: Hooks preview stage**
+
+- New `packages/mosaic/src/stages/hooks-preview.ts` — reads `hooks-config.json` from `state.sourceDir` or `state.mosaicHome`, displays each top-level hook category with name/trigger/command preview, prompts "Install these hooks? [Y/n]", stores result in `state.hooks`.
+- `packages/mosaic/src/types.ts` — add `hooks?: { accepted: boolean; acceptedAt?: string }` to `WizardState`.
+- `packages/mosaic/src/wizard.ts` — insert `hooksPreviewStage` between `runtimeSetupStage` and `skillsSelectStage`; skip if no claude runtime detected.
+
+**AC-4b: `mosaic config hooks` subcommands**
+
+- Add `hooks` subcommand group to `packages/mosaic/src/commands/config.ts`:
+  - `list`: reads `~/.claude/hooks-config.json`, shows hook names and enabled/disabled status
+  - `disable <name>`: prefixes matching hook key with `_disabled_` in the JSON
+  - `enable <name>`: removes `_disabled_` prefix if present
+
+**AC-5: Headless install path**
+
+- `runConfigWizard`: detect headless mode (`MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1` or `!process.stdin.isTTY`), read env vars with defaults, validate required vars, skip prompts entirely.
+- `bootstrapFirstUser`: detect headless mode, read `MOSAIC_ADMIN_NAME/EMAIL/PASSWORD`, validate, proceed without prompts.
+- Document env vars in `packages/mosaic/README.md` (create if absent).
+
+### File list
+
+NEW:
+
+- `packages/mosaic/src/prompter/masked-prompt.ts`
+- `packages/mosaic/src/prompter/masked-prompt.spec.ts`
+- `packages/mosaic/src/stages/hooks-preview.ts`
+- `packages/mosaic/src/stages/hooks-preview.spec.ts`
+
+MODIFIED:
+
+- `packages/mosaic/src/types.ts` — extend WizardState
+- `packages/mosaic/src/wizard.ts` — wire hooksPreviewStage
+- `packages/mosaic/src/commands/gateway/install.ts` — masked password + headless path
+- `packages/mosaic/src/commands/config.ts` — add hooks subcommands
+- `packages/mosaic/src/commands/config.spec.ts` — extend tests
+- `packages/mosaic/README.md` — document env vars
+
+### Assumptions
+
+ASSUMPTION: `hooks-config.json` location is `<sourceDir>/framework/runtime/claude/hooks-config.json` during wizard (sourceDir is package root). Fall back to `<mosaicHome>/runtime/claude/hooks-config.json` for installed config.
+ASSUMPTION: The `hooks` subcommands under `config` operate on `~/.claude/hooks-config.json` (the installed copy), not the package source.
+ASSUMPTION: For the hooks preview stage, the "name" field displayed per hook entry is the top-level event key (e.g. "PostToolUse") plus the matcher from nested hooks array. This is the most user-readable representation given the hooks-config.json structure.
+ASSUMPTION: `config hooks list/enable/disable` use `CLAUDE_HOME` env or `~/.claude` as the target directory for hooks files.
+ASSUMPTION: The headless TTY detection (`!process.stdin.isTTY`) is sufficient; `MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1` is an explicit override for cases where stdin is a TTY but the user still wants non-interactive (e.g., scripted installs with piped terminal).

+
+## Session 4 — 2026-04-05 (orchestrator resume) — IUH-M02 closed, delegating IUH-M03
+
+### IUH-M02 completion summary
+
+- **PR:** #431 merged as `cd8b1f66`
+- **CI:** green (Woodpecker)
+- **Issue:** #426 closed
+- **Acceptance criteria:** AC-3 (password mask), AC-4 (hooks visibility — consent recorded), AC-5 (headless path) all satisfied
+- **New files:** `prompter/masked-prompt.ts`, `stages/hooks-preview.ts` (+ specs)
+- **Modified:** `wizard.ts`, `types.ts` (`state.hooks`), `commands/gateway/install.ts`, `commands/config.ts`
+
+### Follow-up captured from M02 agent
+
+**Hooks consent is recorded but not enforced.** The `hooks-preview` stage sets `state.hooks.accepted` when the user confirms, but the finalize stage still unconditionally runs `mosaic-link-runtime-assets`, which copies `hooks-config.json` into `~/.claude/` regardless of consent. This is a soft gap — the user sees the prompt and can decline, but declining currently has no effect downstream.
+
+Options for addressing:
+
+- Fold into IUH-M03 (since M03 touches the finalize/install convergence path anyway)
+- Spin a separate small follow-up issue after M03 lands
+
+Leaning toward folding into M03 — the unified first-run flow naturally reworks the finalize→gateway handoff where this gating belongs.
+
+### IUH-M03 delegation
+
+Now delegating to an **opus** subagent in an isolated worktree. Scope from `/tmp/iuh-m03-body.md`:
+
+- Extract `runConfigWizard` → `stages/gateway-config.ts`
+- Extract `bootstrapFirstUser` → `stages/gateway-bootstrap.ts`
+- `runWizard` invokes gateway stages as final stages
+- Drop the 10-minute `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mosaic-install-state.json` session bridge
+- `mosaic gateway install` becomes a thin standalone wrapper for backward-compat
+- `tools/install.sh` single auto-launch entry point
+- **Bonus if scoped:** honor `state.hooks.accepted` in finalize stage so declining hooks actually skips hook install
+
+Known tooling caveats to pass to worker:
+
+- `issue-create.sh` / `pr-create.sh` wrappers eval multiline bodies as shell — use Gitea REST API fallback with `load_credentials gitea-mosaicstack`
+- Protected `main`: PR-only, squash merge
+- Must run `ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose push|merge` before push/merge
+
+---
+
+## Session 5: 2026-04-05 (agent-a7875fbd) — IUH-M03 Unified First-Run
+
+### Problem recap
+
+`mosaic wizard` and `mosaic gateway install` currently run as two separate phases bridged by a fragile 10-minute session file at `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mosaic-install-state.json`. `tools/install.sh` auto-launches both sequentially so the user perceives two wizards stitched together; state is not shared, prompts are duplicated, and if the user walks away the bridge expires.
+
+### Design decision — Option A: gateway install becomes terminal stages of `runWizard`
+
+Two options on the table:
+
+- (A) Extract `runConfigWizard` and `bootstrapFirstUser` into `stages/gateway-config.ts` and `stages/gateway-bootstrap.ts`, append them to `runWizard` as final stages, and make `mosaic gateway install` a thin wrapper that runs the same stages with an ephemeral state seeded from existing config.
+- (B) Introduce a new top-level orchestrator that composes the wizard and gateway install as siblings.
+
+**Chosen: Option A.** Rationale:
+
+1. The wizard already owns a `WizardState` that threads state across stages — gateway config/bootstrap fit naturally as additional stages without a new orchestration layer.
+2. `mosaic gateway install` as standalone entry point stays idempotent by seeding a minimal `WizardState` and running only the gateway stages, reusing the same functions.
+3. Avoids a parallel state object and keeps the call graph linear; easier to test and to reason about the "one cohesive flow" UX goal.
+4. Option B would leave `runWizard` and the gateway install as siblings that still need to share a state object — equivalent complexity without the narrative simplification.
+
+### Scope
+
+1. Extend `WizardState` with optional `gateway` slice: `{ tier, port, databaseUrl?, valkeyUrl?, anthropicKey?, corsOrigin, admin?: { name, email, password } }`. The admin password is held in memory only — never persisted to disk as part of the state object.
+2. New `packages/mosaic/src/stages/gateway-config.ts` — pure stage that:
+   - Reads existing `.env`/`mosaic.config.json` if present (resume path) and sets state.
+   - Otherwise prompts via `WizardPrompter` (interactive) or reads env vars (headless).
+   - Writes `.env` and `mosaic.config.json`, starts the daemon, waits for health.
+3. New `packages/mosaic/src/stages/gateway-bootstrap.ts` — pure stage that:
+   - Checks `/api/bootstrap/status`.
+   - If needsSetup, prompts for admin name/email/password (uses `promptMaskedConfirmed`) or reads env vars (headless); calls `/api/bootstrap/setup`; persists token in meta.
+   - If already setup, handles inline token recovery exactly as today.
+4. `packages/mosaic/src/wizard.ts` — append gateway-config and gateway-bootstrap as stages 11 and 12. Remove `writeInstallState` and the `INSTALL_STATE_FILE` constant entirely.
+5. `packages/mosaic/src/commands/gateway/install.ts` — becomes a thin wrapper that builds a minimal `WizardState` with a `ClackPrompter`, then calls `runGatewayConfigStage(...)` and `runGatewayBootstrapStage(...)` directly. Remove the session-file readers/writers. Headless detection is delegated to the stage itself. The wrapper still exposes the `runInstall({host, port, skipInstall})` API so `gateway.ts` command registration is unchanged.
+6. `tools/install.sh` — drop the second `mosaic gateway install` call; `mosaic wizard` now covers end-to-end. Leave `gateway install` guidance for non-auto-launch path so users still know the standalone entry point exists.
+7. **Hooks gating (bonus — folded in):** `finalize.ts` already runs `mosaic-link-runtime-assets`. When `state.hooks?.accepted === false`, set `MOSAIC_SKIP_CLAUDE_HOOKS=1` in the env for the subprocess; teach the script to skip copying `hooks-config.json` when that env var is set. Other runtime assets (CLAUDE.md, settings.json, context7) still get linked.
+
+### Files
+
+NEW:
+
+- `packages/mosaic/src/stages/gateway-config.ts` (+ `.spec.ts`)
+- `packages/mosaic/src/stages/gateway-bootstrap.ts` (+ `.spec.ts`)
+
+MODIFIED:
+
+- `packages/mosaic/src/types.ts` — extend WizardState with `gateway?:` slice
+- `packages/mosaic/src/wizard.ts` — append gateway stages, remove session-file bridge
+- `packages/mosaic/src/commands/gateway/install.ts` — thin wrapper over stages, remove 10-min bridge
+- `packages/mosaic/src/stages/finalize.ts` — honor `state.hooks.accepted === false` by setting `MOSAIC_SKIP_CLAUDE_HOOKS=1`
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/_scripts/mosaic-link-runtime-assets` — honor `MOSAIC_SKIP_CLAUDE_HOOKS=1`
+- `tools/install.sh` — single unified auto-launch
+
+### Assumptions
+
+ASSUMPTION: Gateway stages must run **after** `finalizeStage` because finalize writes identity files and links runtime assets that the gateway admin UX may later display — reversed ordering would leave Claude runtime linkage incomplete when the admin token banner prints.
+ASSUMPTION: Standalone `mosaic gateway install` uses a `ClackPrompter` (interactive) by default; the headless path is still triggered by `MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1` or non-TTY stdin, and the stage functions detect this internally.
+ASSUMPTION: When `runWizard` reaches the gateway stages, `state.mosaicHome` is authoritative for GATEWAY_HOME resolution if it differs from the default — we set `process.env.MOSAIC_GATEWAY_HOME` before importing gateway modules so the constants resolve correctly.
+ASSUMPTION: Keeping backwards compatibility for `runInstall({host, port, skipInstall})` is enough — no other internal caller exists.
+ASSUMPTION: Removing the session file is safe because the old bridge is at most a 10-minute window; there is no on-disk migration to do.
+
+### Test plan
+
+- `gateway-config.spec.ts`: fresh install writes .env + mosaic.config.json (mock fs + prompter); resume path reuses existing BETTER_AUTH_SECRET; headless path respects MOSAIC_STORAGE_TIER/MOSAIC_GATEWAY_PORT/etc.
+- `gateway-bootstrap.spec.ts`: calls `/api/bootstrap/setup` with collected creds (mock fetch); handles "already setup" branch; honors headless env vars; persists token via `writeMeta`.
+- Extend existing passing tests — no regressions in `login.spec`, `recover-token.spec`, `rotate-token.spec`.
+- Unified flow integration is covered at the stage-level; no new e2e test infra required.
+
+### Delivery cycle
+
+plan (this entry) → code → typecheck/lint/format → test → codex review (`~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/codex-code-review.sh --uncommitted`) → remediate → commit → ci-queue-wait push → push → PR → CI green → merge → close #427.
+
+### Remediation log (codex review rounds)
+
+- **Round 1** — hooks opt-out did not remove an existing managed file; port override ignored on resume; headless errors swallowed. Fixed: hooks cleanup, `portOverride` honored, errors re-thrown.
+- **Round 2** — headless stage failures exited 0; port override on decline-rerun mismatched; no default-path integration test. Fixed: `process.exit(1)` in headless, revert portOverride on decline, add `unified-wizard.test.ts`.
+- **Round 3** — hooks removal too broad (would touch user-owned files); port override written to meta but not .env (drift); wizard swallowed errors. Fixed: `cmp -s` managed-file check, force regeneration when portOverride differs from saved port, re-throw unexpected errors.
+- **Round 4** — port-override regeneration tripped the corrupt-partial-state guard (blocker); headless already-bootstrapped-with-no-local-token path reported failure instead of no-op; hooks byte-equality fragile across template updates. Fixed: introduce `forcePortRegen` flag bypassing the guard (with a dedicated spec test), headless rerun of already-bootstrapped gateway now returns `{ completed: true }` (with spec coverage), hooks cleanup now checks for a stable `"mosaic-managed": true` marker embedded in the template (byte-equality remains as a fallback for legacy installs).
+- Round 5 codex review attempted but blocked by upstream usage limit (quota). Rerun after quota refresh if further findings appear; all round-4 findings are code-covered.

+
+## Session 6 — 2026-04-05 (orchestrator close-out) — MISSION COMPLETE
+
+### IUH-M03 completion summary (reported by opus delivery agent)
+
+- **PR:** #433 merged as `732f8a49`
+- **CI:** Woodpecker green on final rebased commit `f3d5ef8d`
+- **Issue:** #427 closed with summary comment
+- **Tests:** 219 passing (+15 net new), 24 files
+- **Codex review:** 4 rounds applied and remediated; round 5 blocked by upstream quota — no known outstanding findings
+
+### What shipped in M03
+
+- NEW stages: `stages/gateway-config.ts`, `stages/gateway-bootstrap.ts` (extracted from the old monolithic `gateway/install.ts`)
+- NEW integration test: `__tests__/integration/unified-wizard.test.ts`
+- `runWizard` now has 12 stages — gateway config + bootstrap are terminal stages 11 & 12
+- 10-minute `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mosaic-install-state.json` session-file bridge **deleted**
+- `mosaic gateway install` rewritten as a thin standalone wrapper invoking the same two stages — backward-compat preserved
+- `WizardState.gateway?` slice carries host/port/tier/admin/adminTokenIssued across stages
+- `tools/install.sh` single unified `mosaic wizard` call — no more two-phase launch
+- **Bonus scoped in:** finalize stage honors `state.hooks.accepted === false` via `MOSAIC_SKIP_CLAUDE_HOOKS=1`; `mosaic-link-runtime-assets` honors the flag; Mosaic-managed detection now uses a stable `"mosaic-managed": true` marker in `hooks-config.json` with byte-equality fallback for legacy installs. **Closes the M02 follow-up.**

+### Follow-ups for future work (not blocking mission close)
+
+1. **`pr-ci-wait.sh` vs Woodpecker**: wrapper reports `state=unknown` because Woodpecker doesn't publish to Gitea's combined-status endpoint. Worker used `tea pr` CI glyphs as authoritative. Pre-existing tooling gap — worth a separate tooling-team issue.
+2. **`issue-create.sh` / `pr-create.sh` wrapper `eval` bug with multiline bodies** — hit by M01, M02, M03 workers. All fell back to Gitea REST API. Needs wrapper fix.
+3. **Codex review round 5** — attempted but blocked by upstream quota. Rerun after quota resets to confirm nothing else surfaces.
+4. **Pi settings.json reversal** — deferred from M01; install manifest schema should be extended to track Pi settings mutations for reversal.
+5. **`cli-smoke.spec.ts` pre-existing failure** — `@mosaicstack/brain` resolution in Vitest. Unrelated. Worth a separate issue.

+# Install UX v2 — Orchestrator Scratchpad
+
+## Session 1 — 2026-04-05 (orchestrator scaffold)
+
+### Trigger
+
+Real-run testing of `@mosaicstack/mosaic@0.0.25` (fresh install of the release we just shipped from the parent mission `install-ux-hardening-20260405`) surfaced a critical regression and a cluster of UX failings. User feedback verbatim:
+
+> The skill/additional feature installation section of install.sh is unsable
+> The "quick-start" is asking way too many questions. This process should be much faster to get a quick start.
+> The installater should have a main menu that allows for a drill-down install approach.
+> "Plugins" — Install Recommended Plugins / Custom
+> "Providers" — …
+> The gateway port is not prefilling with 14242 for default
+> What is the CORS origin for? Is that the webUI that isn't working yet? Maybe we should ask for the fqdn/hostname instead? There must be a better way to handle this.
+
+Plus the critical bug, reproduced verbatim:
+
+```
+◇  Admin email
+│  jason@woltje.com
+Admin password (min 8 chars): ****************
+Confirm password:            ****************
+│
+▲  Bootstrap failed (400): {"message":["property email should not exist","property password should not exist"],"error":"Bad Request","statusCode":400}
+✔  Wizard complete.
+✔  Install manifest written: /home/jarvis/.config/mosaic/.install-manifest.json
+
+✔  Done.
+```
+
+Note the `✔ Wizard complete` and `✔ Done` lines **after** the 400. That's a second bug — failure didn't propagate in interactive mode.
+
+### Diagnosis — orchestrator pre-scope
+
+To avoid handing workers a vague prompt, pre-identified the concrete fix sites:
+
+**Bug 1 (critical) — DTO class erasure.** `apps/gateway/src/admin/bootstrap.controller.ts:16`:
+
+```ts
+import type { BootstrapSetupDto, BootstrapStatusDto, BootstrapResultDto } from './bootstrap.dto.js';
+```
+
+`import type` erases the class at runtime. `@Body() dto: BootstrapSetupDto` then has no runtime metatype — `design:paramtypes` reflects `Object`. Nest's `ValidationPipe` with `whitelist: true` + `forbidNonWhitelisted: true` receives a plain Object metatype, treats every incoming property as non-whitelisted, and 400s with `"property email should not exist", "property password should not exist"`.
+
+**One-character fix:** drop the `type` keyword on the `BootstrapSetupDto` import. `BootstrapStatusDto` and `BootstrapResultDto` are fine as type-only imports because they're used only in return type positions, not as `@Body()` metatypes.
+
+Must be covered by an **integration test that binds through Nest**, not a controller unit test that imports the DTO directly — the unit test path would pass even with `import type` because it constructs the pipe manually. An e2e test with `@nestjs/testing` + `supertest` against the real `/api/bootstrap/setup` endpoint is the right guard.
+
+**Bug 2 — interactive silent failure.** `packages/mosaic/src/wizard.ts:147-150`:
+
+```ts
+if (!bootstrapResult.completed && headlessRun) {
+  prompter.warn('Admin bootstrap failed in headless mode — aborting wizard.');
+  process.exit(1);
+}
+```
+
+The guard is `&& headlessRun`. In interactive mode, `completed: false` is silently swallowed and the wizard continues to the success lines. Fix: propagate failure in both modes. Decision for the worker — either `throw` or `process.exit(1)` with a clear error.
+
+**Bug 3 — port prefill.** `packages/mosaic/src/stages/gateway-config.ts:77-88`:
+
+```ts
+const raw = await p.text({
+  message: 'Gateway port',
+  defaultValue: defaultPort.toString(),
+  ...
+});
+```
+
+The stage is passing `defaultValue`. Either the `WizardPrompter.text` adapter is dropping it, or the underlying `@clack/prompts` call expects `initialValue` (which actually prefills the buffer) vs `defaultValue` (which is used only if the user submits an empty string). Worker should verify the adapter and likely switch to `initialValue` semantics so the user sees `14242` in the field.
+
+**Bug 4 — Pi SDK copy gap.** The `"What is Mosaic?"` intro text enumerates Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode but never mentions Pi SDK, which is the actual agent runtime behind those frontends. Purely a copy edit — find the string, add Pi SDK.
+
+### Mission shape
+
+Three milestones, three tracks, different tiers:
+
+1. **IUV-M01 Hotfix** (sonnet) — the four bugs above + release `mosaic-v0.0.26`. Small, fast, unblocks the 0.0.25 happy path.
+2. **IUV-M02 UX polish** (sonnet) — CORS origin → FQDN/hostname abstraction; diagnose and rework the skill installer section. Diagnostic-heavy.
+3. **IUV-M03 Provider-first intelligent flow** (opus) — the big one: drill-down main menu, Quick Start path that's actually quick, provider-first natural-language intake with agent self-naming (OpenClaw-style). Architectural.
+
+Sequencing: strict. M01 ships first as a hotfix release (mosaic-v0.0.26). M02 is diagnostic-heavy and can share groundwork with M03 but ships separately for clean release notes. M03 is the architectural anchor and lands last as `mosaic-v0.0.27`.
+
+### Open design questions (to be resolved by workers, not pre-decided)
+
+- M01: does `process.exit(1)` vs `throw` matter for how `tools/install.sh` surfaces the error? Worker should check the install.sh call site and pick the behavior that surfaces cleanly.
+- M03: what LLM call powers the intent intake, and what's the offline fallback? Options: (a) reuse the provider the user is configuring (chicken-and-egg — provider setup hasn't happened yet), (b) a bundled deterministic "advisor" that hard-codes common intents, (c) require a provider key up-front before intake. Design doc (IUV-03-01) must resolve.
+- M03: is the "agent self-naming" persistent across all future `mosaic` invocations, or a per-session nickname? Probably persistent — lives in `~/.config/mosaic/agent.json` or similar. Worker to decide + document.
+
+### Non-goals for this mission
+
+- No GUI / web UI
+- No registry / pipeline migration
+- No multi-user / multi-tenant onboarding
+- No rework of `mosaic uninstall` (stable from parent mission)
+
+### Known tooling caveats (carry forward from parent mission)
+
+- `issue-create.sh` / `pr-create.sh` wrappers have an `eval` bug with multiline bodies — use Gitea REST API fallback with `load_credentials gitea-mosaicstack`
+- `pr-ci-wait.sh` reports `state=unknown` against Woodpecker (combined-status endpoint gap) — use `tea pr` glyphs or poll the commit status endpoint directly
+- Protected `main`, squash-merge only, PR-required
+- CI queue guard before push/merge: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose push|merge`
+
+### Next action
+
+1. Create Gitea issues for M01, M02, M03
+2. Open the mission-scaffold docs PR (same pattern as parent mission's PR #430)
+3. After merge, delegate IUV-M01 to a sonnet subagent in an isolated worktree with the concrete fix-site pointers above
+
+## Session 2 — 2026-04-05 (IUV-M01 delivery + close-out)
+
+### Outcome
+
+IUV-M01 shipped. `mosaic-v0.0.26` released and registry latest confirmed `0.0.26`.
+

+| #442 | docs: mark IUV-M01 complete — mosaic-v0.0.26 released                    | 78388437 |
+
+### Bugs fixed (all 4 in worker's PR #440)
+
+1. **DTO class erasure** — `apps/gateway/src/admin/bootstrap.controller.ts:16` — dropped `type` from `import { BootstrapSetupDto }`. Guarded by new e2e test `bootstrap.e2e.spec.ts` (4 cases) that binds through a real Nest app with `ValidationPipe { whitelist, forbidNonWhitelisted }`. Test suite needed `unplugin-swc` in `apps/gateway/vitest.config.ts` to emit `decoratorMetadata` (tsx/esbuild can't).
+2. **Wizard silent failure** — `packages/mosaic/src/wizard.ts` — removed the `&& headlessRun` guard so `!bootstrapResult.completed` now aborts in both modes.
+3. **Port prefill** — root cause was clack's `defaultValue` vs `initialValue` semantics (`defaultValue` only fills on empty submit, `initialValue` prefills the buffer). Added an `initialValue` field to `WizardPrompter.text()` interface, threaded through clack and headless prompters, switched `gateway-config.ts` port/url prompts to use it.
+4. **Pi SDK copy** — `packages/mosaic/src/stages/welcome.ts` — intro copy now lists Pi SDK.
+
+### Mid-delivery hiccup — tsconfig/eslint cross-contamination
+
+Worker's initial approach added `vitest.config.ts` to `apps/gateway/tsconfig.json`'s `include` to appease the eslint parser. That broke `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/gateway build` with TS6059 (`vitest.config.ts` outside `rootDir: "src"`). The publish pipeline on the `#440` merge commit failed.
+
+**Correct fix** (worker's PR #441): leave `tsconfig.json` clean (`include: ["src/**/*"]`) and instead add the file to `allowDefaultProject` in the root `eslint.config.mjs`. This keeps the tsc program strict while letting eslint resolve a parser project for the standalone config file.
+
+**Pattern to remember**: when adding root-level `.ts` config files (vitest, build scripts) to a package with `rootDir: "src"`, the eslint parser project conflict is solved with `allowDefaultProject`, NEVER by widening tsconfig include. I had independently arrived at the same fix on a branch before the worker shipped #441 — deleted the duplicate.
+
+### Residual follow-ups carried forward
+
+1. Headless prompter fallback order: worker set `initialValue > defaultValue` in the headless path. Correct semantic, but any future headless test that explicitly depends on `defaultValue` precedence will need review.
+2. Vitest + SWC decorator metadata pattern is now the blessed approach for NestJS e2e tests in this monorepo. Any other package that adds NestJS e2e tests should mirror `apps/gateway/vitest.config.ts`.
+
+### Next action
+
+- Close out orchestrator doc sync (this commit): mark M01 subtasks done in `TASKS.md`, update manifest phase to Execution, commit scratchpad session 2, PR to main.
+- After merge, delegate IUV-M02 (sonnet, isolated worktree). Dependencies: IUV-02-01 (CORS→FQDN) starts unblocked since M01 is released; first real task for the M02 worker is diagnosing the skill installer failure modes (IUV-02-02) against the fresh 0.0.26 install.
+
+## Session 3 — 2026-04-05 (IUV-M02 delivery + close-out)
+
+### Outcome
+
+IUV-M02 shipped. PR #444 merged (`172bacb3`), issue #437 closed. 18 new tests (13 CORS derivation, 5 skill sync).
+
+### Changes
+
+**CORS → FQDN (IUV-02-01):**
+
+- `packages/mosaic/src/stages/gateway-config.ts` — replaced raw "CORS origin" text prompt with "Web UI hostname" (default: `localhost`). Added HTTPS follow-up for remote hosts. Pure `deriveCorsOrigin(hostname, port, useHttps?)` function exported for testability.
+- Headless: `MOSAIC_HOSTNAME` env var as friendly alternative; `MOSAIC_CORS_ORIGIN` still works as full override.
+- `packages/mosaic/src/types.ts` — added `hostname?: string` to `GatewayState`.
+
+**Skill installer rework (IUV-02-02 + IUV-02-03):**
+
+- Root cause confirmed: `syncSkills()` in `finalize.ts` ignored `state.selectedSkills` entirely. The multiselect UI was a no-op.
+- `packages/mosaic/src/stages/finalize.ts` — `syncSkills()` rewritten to accept `selectedSkills[]`, returns typed `SyncSkillsResult`, passes `MOSAIC_INSTALL_SKILLS` (colon-separated) as env var to the bash script.
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/_scripts/mosaic-sync-skills` — added bash associative array whitelist filter keyed on `MOSAIC_INSTALL_SKILLS`. When set, only whitelisted skills are linked. Empty/unset = all skills (legacy behavior preserved for `mosaic sync` outside wizard).
+- Failure surfaces: silent `catch {}` replaced with typed error reporting through `p.warn()`.
+
+### Next action
+
+- Delegate IUV-M03 (opus, isolated worktree) — the architectural milestone: provider-first intelligent flow, drill-down main menu, Quick Start fast path, agent self-naming. This is the biggest piece of the mission.

+# IUV-M03 Design: Provider-first intelligent flow + drill-down main menu
+
+**Issue:** #438
+**Branch:** `feat/install-ux-intent`
+**Date:** 2026-04-05
+
+## 1. New first-run state machine
+
+The linear 12-stage interrogation is replaced with a menu-driven architecture.
+
+### Flow overview
+
+```
+Welcome banner
+  |
+  v
+Detect existing install (auto)
+  |
+  v
+Main Menu (loop)
+  |-- Quick Start        -> provider key + admin creds -> finalize
+  |-- Providers          -> LLM API key config
+  |-- Agent Identity     -> intent intake + naming (deterministic)
+  |-- Skills             -> recommended / custom selection
+  |-- Gateway            -> port, storage tier, hostname, CORS
+  |-- Advanced           -> SOUL.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md, runtimes, hooks
+  |-- Finish & Apply     -> finalize + gateway bootstrap
+  v
+Done
+```
+
+### Menu navigation
+
+- Main menu is a `select` prompt. Each option drills into a sub-flow.
+- Completing a section returns to the main menu.
+- Menu items show completion state: `[done]` hint after configuration.
+- `Finish & Apply` is always last and requires at minimum a provider key (or explicit skip).
+- The menu tracks configured sections in `WizardState.completedSections`.
+
+### Headless bypass
+
+When `MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1` or `!process.stdin.isTTY`, the entire menu is skipped.
+The wizard runs: defaults + env var overrides -> finalize -> gateway config -> bootstrap.
+This preserves full backward compatibility with `tools/install.sh --yes`.
+
+## 2. Quick Start path
+
+Target: 3-5 questions max. Under 90 seconds for a returning user.
+
+### Questions asked
+
+1. **Provider API key** (Anthropic/OpenAI) - `text` prompt with paste support
+2. **Admin email** - `text` prompt
+3. **Admin password** - masked + confirmed
+
+### Questions skipped (with defaults)
+

+| Port                         | 14242                           | Standard default       |
+| Storage tier                 | local                           | No external deps       |

+| Runtimes                     | auto-detected                   | No user input needed   |
+| Communication style          | direct                          | Most popular choice    |
+| SOUL.md / USER.md / TOOLS.md | template defaults               | Can customize later    |
+| Hooks                        | auto-install if Claude detected | Safe default           |
+
+### Flow
+
+```
+Quick Start selected
+  -> "Paste your LLM API key (Anthropic recommended):"
+  -> [auto-detect provider from key prefix: sk-ant-* = Anthropic, sk-* = OpenAI]
+  -> Apply all defaults
+  -> Run finalize (sync framework, write configs, link assets, sync skills)
+  -> Run gateway config (headless-style with defaults + provided key)
+  -> "Admin email:"
+  -> "Admin password:" (masked + confirm)
+  -> Run gateway bootstrap
+  -> Done
+```
+
+## 3. Provider-first flow
+
+Provider configuration (currently buried in gateway-config stage as "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")
+moves to a dedicated top-level menu item and is the first question in Quick Start.
+
+### Provider detection
+
+The API key prefix determines the provider:
+
+- `sk-ant-api03-*` -> Anthropic (Claude)
+- `sk-*` -> OpenAI
+- Empty/skipped -> no provider (gateway starts without LLM access)
+
+### Storage
+
+The provider key is stored in the gateway `.env` as `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
+For Quick Start, this replaces the old interactive prompt in `collectAndWriteConfig`.
+
+### Menu section: "Providers"
+
+In the drill-down menu, "Providers" lets users:
+
+1. Enter/change their API key
+2. See which provider was detected
+3. Optionally configure a second provider
+
+For v0.0.27, we support Anthropic and OpenAI keys only. The key is stored
+in `WizardState` and written during finalize.
+
+## 4. Intent intake + naming (deterministic fallback - Option B)
+
+### Rationale
+
+At install time, the LLM provider may not be configured yet (chicken-and-egg).
+We use **Option B: deterministic advisor** for the install wizard.
+
+### Flow (Agent Identity menu section)
+
+```
+1. "What will this agent primarily help you with?"
+   -> Select from presets:
+      - General purpose assistant
+      - Software development
+      - DevOps & infrastructure
+      - Research & analysis
+      - Content & writing
+      - Custom (free text description)
+
+2. System proposes a thematic name based on selection:
+   - General purpose -> "Mosaic"
+   - Software development -> "Forge"
+   - DevOps & infrastructure -> "Sentinel"
+   - Research & analysis -> "Atlas"
+   - Content & writing -> "Muse"
+   - Custom -> "Mosaic" (default)
+
+3. "Your agent will be named 'Forge'. Press Enter to accept or type a new name:"
+   -> User confirms or overrides
+```
+
+### Storage
+
+- Agent name -> `WizardState.soul.agentName` -> written to SOUL.md

+
+### Post-install LLM-powered intake (future)
+
+A future `mosaic configure identity` command can use the configured LLM to:

+- Generate an expounded persona

+This is explicitly out of scope for the install wizard.
+
+## 5. Headless backward-compat
+
+### Supported env vars (unchanged)
+
+| Variable                   | Used by                                        |
+| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1`      | Skip all prompts, use defaults + env overrides |
+| `MOSAIC_ADMIN_NAME`        | Gateway bootstrap                              |
+| `MOSAIC_ADMIN_EMAIL`       | Gateway bootstrap                              |
+| `MOSAIC_ADMIN_PASSWORD`    | Gateway bootstrap                              |
+| `MOSAIC_GATEWAY_PORT`      | Gateway config                                 |
+| `MOSAIC_HOSTNAME`          | Gateway config (CORS derivation)               |
+| `MOSAIC_CORS_ORIGIN`       | Gateway config (full override)                 |
+| `MOSAIC_STORAGE_TIER`      | Gateway config (local/team)                    |
+| `MOSAIC_DATABASE_URL`      | Gateway config (team tier)                     |
+| `MOSAIC_VALKEY_URL`        | Gateway config (team tier)                     |
+| `MOSAIC_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | Provider config                                |
+
+### New env vars
+
+| Variable              | Purpose                                   |
+| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
+| `MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME`   | Override agent name in headless mode      |
+| `MOSAIC_AGENT_INTENT` | Override intent category in headless mode |
+
+### `tools/install.sh --yes`
+
+The install script sets `MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1` and passes through env vars.
+No changes needed to the script itself. The new wizard detects headless mode
+at the top of `runWizard` and runs a linear path identical to the old flow.
+
+## 6. Explicit non-goals
+
+- **No GUI** — this is a terminal wizard only
+- **No multi-user install** — single-user, single-machine
+- **No registry changes** — npm publish flow is unchanged
+- **No LLM calls during install** — deterministic fallback only
+- **No new dependencies** — uses existing @clack/prompts and picocolors
+- **No changes to gateway API** — only the wizard orchestration changes
+- **No changes to tools/install.sh** — headless compat maintained via env vars
+
+## 7. Implementation plan
+
+### Files to modify
+
+1. `packages/mosaic/src/types.ts` — add `MenuSection`, `AgentIntent`, `completedSections`, `agentIntent`, `providerKey`, `providerType` to WizardState
+2. `packages/mosaic/src/wizard.ts` — replace linear flow with menu loop
+3. `packages/mosaic/src/stages/mode-select.ts` — becomes the main menu
+4. `packages/mosaic/src/stages/provider-setup.ts` — new: provider key collection
+5. `packages/mosaic/src/stages/agent-intent.ts` — new: intent intake + naming
+6. `packages/mosaic/src/stages/menu-gateway.ts` — new: gateway sub-menu wrapper
+7. `packages/mosaic/src/stages/quick-start.ts` — new: quick start linear path
+8. `packages/mosaic/src/constants.ts` — add intent presets and name mappings
+9. `packages/mosaic/package.json` — version bump 0.0.26 -> 0.0.27
+
+### Files to add (tests)
+
+1. `packages/mosaic/src/stages/wizard-menu.spec.ts` — menu navigation tests
+2. `packages/mosaic/src/stages/quick-start.spec.ts` — quick start path tests
+3. `packages/mosaic/src/stages/agent-intent.spec.ts` — intent + naming tests
+4. `packages/mosaic/src/stages/provider-setup.spec.ts` — provider detection tests
+
+### Migration strategy
+
+The existing stage functions remain intact. The menu system wraps them —
+each menu item calls the appropriate stage function(s). The linear headless
+path calls them in the same order as before.

 - Wait for at least one worker to complete before spawning more
 - This optimizes token usage and reduces context pressure
 
+## File Ownership & Partitioning (Hard Rule for Parallel Workers)
+
+When dispatching parallel workers, the orchestrator MUST assign **non-overlapping file scopes** to each worker. File collisions between parallel workers cause merge conflicts, lost edits, and wasted tokens.
+
+**Rules:**
+
+1. **Exclusive file ownership.** Each file may be assigned to at most one active worker. The orchestrator records ownership in the worker dispatch (prompt or task definition).
+2. **Partition by directory or module.** Prefer assigning entire directories/modules to one worker rather than splitting files within a directory across workers.
+3. **Shared files are serialized.** If two tasks must modify the same file (e.g., a shared types file, a barrel export), they MUST run sequentially — never in parallel. Mark the second task with `depends_on` pointing to the first.
+4. **Test files follow source ownership.** If Worker A owns `src/auth/login.ts`, Worker A also owns `src/auth/__tests__/login.test.ts`. Do not split source and test across workers.
+5. **Config files are orchestrator-reserved.** Files like `package.json`, `tsconfig.json`, and CI config are owned by the orchestrator and modified only between worker cycles, never during parallel execution.
+6. **Document ownership in dispatch.** When spawning a worker, include an explicit `Files:` section listing owned paths/globs. Example:
+
+```
+Files (exclusive — do not touch files outside this scope):
+  - apps/web/src/components/auth/**
+  - apps/web/src/lib/auth.ts
+```
+
+7. **Conflict recovery.** If a worker edits a file outside its scope, the orchestrator MUST flag the violation, assess the diff, and either revert the out-of-scope change or re-run the affected worker with the corrected file.

+# @mosaicstack/mosaic
+
+CLI package for the Mosaic self-hosted AI agent platform.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+mosaic wizard           # First-run setup wizard
+mosaic gateway install  # Install the gateway daemon
+mosaic config show      # View current configuration
+mosaic config hooks list  # Manage Claude hooks
+```
+
+## Headless / CI Installation
+
+Set `MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1` (or ensure stdin is not a TTY) to skip all interactive prompts. The following environment variables control the install:
+
+### Gateway configuration (`mosaic gateway install`)
+
+| Variable                   | Default                 | Required           |
+| -------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------ |
+| `MOSAIC_STORAGE_TIER`      | `local`                 | No                 |
+| `MOSAIC_GATEWAY_PORT`      | `14242`                 | No                 |
+| `MOSAIC_DATABASE_URL`      | _(none)_                | Yes if tier=`team` |
+| `MOSAIC_VALKEY_URL`        | _(none)_                | Yes if tier=`team` |
+| `MOSAIC_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | _(none)_                | No                 |
+| `MOSAIC_CORS_ORIGIN`       | `http://localhost:3000` | No                 |
+
+### Admin user bootstrap
+
+| Variable                | Default  | Required       |
+| ----------------------- | -------- | -------------- |
+| `MOSAIC_ADMIN_NAME`     | _(none)_ | Yes (headless) |
+| `MOSAIC_ADMIN_EMAIL`    | _(none)_ | Yes (headless) |
+| `MOSAIC_ADMIN_PASSWORD` | _(none)_ | Yes (headless) |
+
+`MOSAIC_ADMIN_PASSWORD` must be at least 8 characters. In headless mode a missing or too-short password causes a non-zero exit.
+
+### Example: Docker / CI install
+
+```bash
+export MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1
+export MOSAIC_ADMIN_NAME="Admin"
+export MOSAIC_ADMIN_EMAIL="admin@example.com"
+export MOSAIC_ADMIN_PASSWORD="securepass123"
+
+mosaic gateway install
+```
+
+## Hooks management
+
+After running `mosaic wizard`, Claude hooks are installed in `~/.claude/hooks-config.json`.
+
+```bash
+mosaic config hooks list              # Show all hooks and enabled/disabled status
+mosaic config hooks disable PostToolUse  # Disable a hook (reversible)
+mosaic config hooks enable PostToolUse   # Re-enable a disabled hook
+```
+
+Set `CLAUDE_HOME` to override the default `~/.claude` directory.

 **Runtime-specific syntax**: See the runtime reference for how to specify model tier when spawning subagents (e.g., Claude Code Task tool `model` parameter).
 
+## Superpowers Enforcement (Hard Rule)
+
+Mosaic provides capabilities beyond basic code editing: **skills**, **hooks**, **MCP tools**, and **plugins**. These are not optional extras — they are force multipliers that agents MUST actively use when applicable. Under-utilization of superpowers is a framework violation.
+
+### Skills
+
+Skills are domain-specific instruction sets in `~/.config/mosaic/skills/` that encode best practices, patterns, and guardrails. They are loaded into agents via the runtime's skill mechanism (e.g., Claude Code slash commands, Pi `--skill` flag).
+
+**Rules:**
+
+1. Before starting implementation, scan available skills (`ls ~/.config/mosaic/skills/`) and load any that match the task domain.
+2. When a skill exists for the technology being used (e.g., `nestjs-best-practices` for NestJS work), you MUST load it.
+3. When spawning workers, include skill loading in the kickstart prompt.
+4. If you complete a task without loading a relevant available skill, that is a quality gap.
+
+### Hooks
+
+Hooks provide automated quality gates (lint, format, typecheck) that fire on file edits. They are configured in the runtime settings and run automatically.
+
+**Rules:**
+
+1. Do NOT bypass or suppress hook output. If a hook reports errors, fix them before proceeding.
+2. Hook failures are immediate feedback — treat them like failing tests.
+3. If a hook is consistently failing on valid code, report it as a framework issue rather than working around it.
+
+### MCP Tools
+
+MCP servers extend agent capabilities with external integrations (sequential-thinking, web search, memory, browser automation, etc.). Available MCP tools are listed at session start.
+
+**Rules:**
+
+1. **sequential-thinking** is REQUIRED for planning, architecture, and multi-step reasoning. Use it — do not skip structured thinking for complex decisions.
+2. **OpenBrain** (`capture`, `search`, `recent`) is the cross-agent memory layer. Capture discoveries and search for prior context at session start.
+3. When a task involves web research, browser testing, or external data, use the available MCP tools (web-search, chrome-devtools, web-reader) rather than asking the user to look things up.
+4. Check available MCP tools at session start and use them proactively throughout the session.
+
+### Plugins (Runtime-Specific)
+
+Runtime plugins (e.g., Claude Code's `feature-dev`, `pr-review-toolkit`, `code-review`) provide specialized agent capabilities like code review, architecture analysis, and test coverage analysis.
+
+**Rules:**
+
+1. After completing a significant code change, use code review plugins proactively — do not wait for the user to ask.
+2. Before creating a PR, use PR review plugins to catch issues early.
+3. When designing architecture, use planning/architecture plugins for structured analysis.
+
+### Self-Evolution
+
+The Mosaic framework should improve over time based on usage patterns:
+
+1. When you discover a recurring pattern that should be codified, capture it to OpenBrain with `type: "framework-improvement"`.
+2. When a hook, skill, or tool is missing for a common task, capture the gap to OpenBrain with `type: "tooling-gap"`.
+3. When a framework rule causes friction without adding value, capture the observation to OpenBrain with `type: "framework-friction"`.
+
+These captures feed the framework's continuous improvement cycle.
+
 ## Skills Policy
 
-- Use only the minimum required skills for the active task.
+- Load skills that match the active task domain before starting implementation.
 - Do not load unrelated skills.
 - Follow skill trigger rules from the active runtime instruction layer.
+- Actively check `~/.config/mosaic/skills/` for applicable skills rather than passively waiting for them to be mentioned.
