 ### Requirements

- Linux x86_64 with glibc (Debian is the greenfield CI platform; musl/Alpine, macOS, and ARM64 currently fail as unsupported)
- Node.js ≥ 20 and npm ≥ 9
- `bash`, `curl`, `git`, `python3`, `tar`, and standard core utilities (`awk`, `df`, `find`, `flock`, `grep`, `install`, `realpath`, `sed`, `sha256sum`, `stat`, `sync`)
- At least 256 MiB free disk and 1,000 free inodes at the npm prefix
+- Node.js ≥ 20
+- npm (for global @mosaicstack/mosaic install)
 - One or more runtimes: [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex), [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai), or [Pi](https://github.com/mariozechner/pi-coding-agent)

-The installer evaluates canonical phases P0–P9 and does not print `Done.` unless every committed postcondition passes. A failed phase exits non-zero, names the phase, and points to its durable journal under `${XDG_STATE_HOME:-~/.local/state}/mosaic/install/`.

+### Fleet git identity launch propagation (#1043)
+
+#### Problem and objective
+
+A fleet seat can have a registered per-agent Git credential while its launched runtime process lacks
+`MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`. The credential resolver then cannot select the seat identity reliably, which
+blocks repository operations on fail-closed estates and can fall through to an unrelated identity on
+estates where that refusal is not active. The objective is to make Git identity a deterministic,
+roster-derived part of the generated launch projection and prove it reaches the launched process.
+
+#### Normative requirements
+
+1. `FGI-REQ-01`: Every generated fleet agent projection SHALL declare
+   `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=<MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME>`; a differing or unsafe identity SHALL fail closed before
+   tmux launch.
+2. `FGI-REQ-02`: The clean `/usr/bin/env -i` pane boundary SHALL pass every variable declared by the
+   generated projection, including `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`, to the launched runtime process.
+3. `FGI-REQ-03`: A behavioral integration test SHALL set-compare the complete generated projection
+   against the launched process environment. Source-text/string-presence assertions are insufficient.
+4. `FGI-REQ-04`: Verification SHALL include RED-first evidence and a delete-the-subject mutation that
+   removes Git-identity pane propagation and makes the behavioral test fail.
+
+#### Acceptance criteria
+
+1. `AC-FGI-01`: A launched seat process contains every key/value pair declared by its generated
+   environment projection, including the roster-derived Git identity.
+2. `AC-FGI-02`: Missing, unsafe, or split Git identity is rejected before a tmux session is created.
+3. `AC-FGI-03`: Focused launcher and generated-environment tests, repository quality gates,
+   independent review, and the required RED/green/R7 evidence are recorded before push.
+
+### Framework shell assertion portability (#1098)
+
+#### Problem and objective
+
+The blocking framework-shell chain can report that a pane command omitted `/usr/bin/env -i` even when
+`-i` matched successfully. A short-circuiting `grep -q` under `set -o pipefail` may close its pipe after
+the match and cause an upstream producer to exit with SIGPIPE, turning a valid semantic result into a
+nonzero aggregate pipeline. The objective is to inspect the captured NUL-delimited argv directly and
+make failures carry the observed records needed for diagnosis.
+
+#### Normative requirements
+
+1. `FSP-REQ-01`: The pane-boundary test SHALL validate an adjacent `/usr/bin/env`, `-i` argv pair from
+   the authoritative NUL-delimited tmux capture without a short-circuit pipeline whose upstream status
+   can override a successful match.
+2. `FSP-REQ-02`: Missing, reversed, or non-adjacent boundary tokens SHALL fail, while valid boundaries
+   SHALL remain valid regardless of trailing argv size, pipe capacity, process scheduling, or host/CI
+   utility implementation.
+3. `FSP-REQ-03`: A failed boundary check SHALL print stable indexed, shell-escaped observed argv records
+   before exiting nonzero; the fixture SHALL continue to contain generated non-secret launch data only.
+4. `FSP-REQ-04`: Verification SHALL include RED-first large-payload evidence, negative token-order
+   controls, the complete focused launcher suite, canonical Woodpecker CI, and independent review.
+
+#### Acceptance criteria
+
+1. `AC-FSP-01`: A large captured argv with adjacent `/usr/bin/env`, `-i` passes even when the former
+   `grep -q` pipeline returns nonzero from an upstream SIGPIPE.
+2. `AC-FSP-02`: Missing executable, missing flag, and detached/reversed flag fixtures return nonzero and
+   emit the indexed observed argv.
+3. `AC-FSP-03`: The focused suite passes on the development host and CI image, and the merged-main
+   Woodpecker pipeline is terminal green before #1098 closes.

-## Greenfield install correctness — C1 (#1050)
-
-### Problem and objective
-
-A from-zero install can report success while leaving the target host unusable because the installer has no transactional state machine capable of certifying its own postconditions. C1 supplies the structural spine and red-first fixture; later cards repair the individual failed postconditions.
-
-### Normative requirements
-
-1. The installer SHALL implement the canonical P0–P9 numbering from the greenfield-install PRD v2: P0 Resolve context; P1 Preflight; P2 Acquire artifacts; P3 Install CLI; P4 Install framework + skills; P5 Identity; P6 Runtime linking / activation; P7 Services; P8 Shell discoverability; P9 Verify + commit. P2 is scoped to installer-distribution artifacts and SHALL NOT foreclose credentialed downstream acquisition. P5 owns validating any credential capability required by requested downstream work; P7 may provision credential-dependent resources only after that P5 postcondition commits.
-2. Every phase SHALL declare preconditions, action, committed postconditions, and rollback. An unverifiable postcondition SHALL fail the install non-zero with the named phase and a remediation line; no best-effort failure may still certify success. P1's required-tool closure includes tools invoked by later phases, including `git`; a downstream prerequisite may not remain undeclared and degrade silently.
-3. A durable mutation journal SHALL open before the first mutation and commit at P9. Fallible command output needed to diagnose a phase SHALL be journaled and surfaced, never discarded.
-4. `--check` SHALL run exactly the P0–P8 postcondition predicates without mutation, report each phase PASS/FAIL, and exit non-zero if any predicate fails.
-5. P4 SHALL consume a checkout-free, lane/versioned shipped-set declaration published by the installer. C1 SHALL NOT select among the currently disagreeing framework-payload, repository-root, sync-source, and W-jarvis populations; while no declaration exists, P4 reports `NOT-MEASURED / UNDECLARED` and remains blocking rather than fabricating a count. C5 owns the declaration's contents and containment/loadability fulfillment.
-6. The from-zero fixture SHALL be lane-parametric, use Debian/glibc, run the documented install command as a non-root target user with an isolated HOME, and inherit no host credentials, npm cache, home directory, or runtime configuration.
-7. The fixture SHALL select `next` with `--next` or `MOSAIC_NEXT=1` and assert the resolved lane version. Internal predicates use P3's absolute CLI path; shell discoverability is tested only at P8.
-8. Fault injection after each P2–P8 phase SHALL prove either clean rollback or a durable, honestly reported resumable partial state, with no journal incorrectly left in progress.
-9. Unsupported musl/Alpine and unavailable Docker SHALL fail loudly rather than skip as pass.
-
-### C1 acceptance criteria
-
-1. The pre-C1 from-zero matrix records both discriminating controls: with `git` absent, the legacy installer still exits zero while P1 fails and skill sync degrades; with `git` present, P1 passes and the observed sync store/runtime links are 101/101. The C1 installer must fail at P1 before mutation when `git` is absent.
-2. The discriminating P3 row passes: the binary exists at the expected absolute path and reports exactly the resolved `next` lane version, while P4, P5, and P8 fail.
-3. The `--check` mutation negative control proves host fingerprints are byte-identical before and after observation.
-4. Woodpecker executes and validates the expected RED fixture; C1 does not repair P4/P5/P8 or activate #869.
-
-### Explicit exclusions and dependencies
-
- C2 owns P8/PATH, C3 owns P5/headless identity, C4 owns P6 activation policy, and C5 owns P4/skills.
- Main-lane execution is a promotion precondition owned by #1037; C1 only makes the fixture lane-parametric.
- RM-02 and #869 activation are out of scope.

-# npm `@next` prerelease lane
-
-Status: **IMPLEMENTED**
-
-## Current behavior
-
-`tools/install.sh --next` provides the prerelease integration lane for the permanent `next` branch.
-
-The lane is fast-by-default:
-
-1. Install framework files from the `next` source archive.
-2. Resolve the Gitea npm registry `next` dist-tag for the globally installed packages:
-
-   ```bash
-   npm view @mosaicstack/gateway@next version
-   npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic@next version
-   ```
-
-3. Require both resolved versions to share the same `next.<pipeline>` suffix, then install the exact resolved versions.
-4. If either `@next` package is missing, unreachable, mismatched, or fails to install, fall back to the source-build path at `next`.
-
-`--next` never hard-fails solely because the prerelease npm dist-tag is unavailable.
-
-## Published packages
-
-The `next` publish pipeline publishes non-private `@mosaicstack/*` packages to the Mosaic Gitea npm registry:
-
-```text
-https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/
-```
-
-Observed `next` dist-tags after enabling the pipeline:
-
-```text
-@mosaicstack/mosaic@next  -> 0.0.49-next.1633
-@mosaicstack/gateway@next -> 0.0.7-next.1633
-```
-
-The gateway also publishes a Docker image as `gateway:sha-<short>` on `next` merges. The installer fast path uses the npm gateway package when available; the Docker image is for deployed gateway/runtime harness flows.
-
-## Explicit source lanes
-
-Source builds remain available and are still the authority for explicit ref validation:
-
- `--dev` always builds from source.
- `--ref <ref>` / `MOSAIC_REF=<ref>` wins over `--next` and uses the source path for that exact ref.
-
-## Pipeline shape
-
-1. Trigger on `next` merges.
-2. Compute the next prerelease version from the upcoming stable version plus the Woodpecker pipeline number (`<target-stable>-next.<CI_PIPELINE_NUMBER>`).
-3. Build and publish non-private packages in CI.
-4. Publish to the Mosaic Gitea npm registry with dist-tag `next`.
-5. Keep `latest` untouched; only main/release promotion can update `latest`.
-6. Publish gateway Docker images from `next` as `gateway:sha-<short>` only.
-
-## Guardrails
-
- `@next` is mutable prerelease convenience, not a deployment pin.
- Stable installs continue to use `@latest`.
- Contributor validation remains available through `--dev --ref <branch>`.
- Pipeline output traces every prerelease package back to the source commit on `next`.
- The installer falls back to source rather than hard-failing on prerelease registry issues.

-```bash
-bash tools/install.sh --check          # stable/latest lane

-
-`--check`:
-
- emits exactly one `[P0]` through `[P8]` PASS/FAIL row;
- exits non-zero if any predicate fails;
- does not create the npm prefix, lock, journal, manifest, shell profile, or runtime file;
- uses temporary npm observation storage outside the target HOME and removes it before exit.
-
-P4 currently fails as `NOT-MEASURED / UNDECLARED` until the installer publishes `~/.config/mosaic/.install-shipped-skills.json`. C1 deliberately does not select among the conflicting candidate populations; C5 owns publishing and fulfilling that declaration. Once present, the P4 predicate requires the declaration's lane/version to match the resolved install and every named skill to remain contained under `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` with matching loadable frontmatter.
-
-## Durable journal
-
-Each mutating run creates a private transaction directory:
-
-```text
-${XDG_STATE_HOME:-~/.local/state}/mosaic/install/
-  active.json
-  <UTC-run-id>/
-    journal.ndjson
-    journal.ndjson.sha256   # committed runs only
-    commands.log
-    snapshot/
-```
-
-Before each mutation scope is touched, `journal.ndjson` records:
-
- phase and path;
- whether prior state existed and where its snapshot lives;
- the reversal action;
- the captured command-output location and command status.
-
-Journal, action-status, manifest, or command-log write/sync failure is fatal. An unrecorded mutation is not allowed. Successful P9 runs append a seal event, write the SHA-256 sidecar, and make the journal and sidecar read-only. Required P4/P6 action failures are persisted in the manifest so a later `--check` cannot turn a failed action into a false pass.
-
-Rollback roots must be non-overlapping, non-symlinked, target-user-owned strict descendants of canonical `HOME`; unsafe custom `MOSAIC_HOME`/`MOSAIC_PREFIX` values fail at P0. The same validation runs again immediately before recursive rollback. The OS lock is concurrency authority: if a process dies while `active.json` still says `in-progress`, a retry that acquires the free lock preserves the stale projection as `prior-active.json` and proceeds from the honestly retained partial state.
-
-`active.json` is the current projection:
-
- `in-progress`: incomplete/open transaction;
- `rolled-back`: a fault restored the snapshot;
- `rollback-failed`: restoration failed or refused a replaced/unsafe target and requires manual recovery;
- `failed-resumable`: named postconditions failed and the recorded partial state remains for remediation;
- `committed`: P9 passed and the journal is sealed.
-
-## Failure recovery
-
-1. Read the named phase and remediation line from installer stderr.
-2. Inspect `active.json`, then the referenced `journal.ndjson` and `commands.log`. Command output needed to diagnose a failure is preserved and surfaced; it is not redirected away.
-3. For `rolled-back`, verify the target paths match their pre-install state before retrying.
-4. For `failed-resumable`, repair the named phase owner requirement, then run `install.sh --check` before retrying the installer.
-5. Do not activate the #869 enforcement hooks merely to turn P6 green. A broker-less host with those hooks is a failed P6 state.
-
-## Greenfield CI gate
-
-`.woodpecker/greenfield-install.yml` runs `tools/e2e-install-test.sh` from zero in Debian/glibc as a non-root uid with `env -i`. No host HOME, npm cache, credentials, or bind mount enters the target process. Checkout mode packages the complete current checkout into an archive, pins its SHA-256 through an internal fixture seam, and copies the self-contained fixture into the container; framework-installer changes in the PR are therefore exercised rather than fetched from an older remote branch.
-
-The C1 fixture intentionally returns an attributable RED while C2–C5 remain open. CI itself remains green only when the fixture's final P0–P9 verdicts, required discriminator rows, and non-zero exit match the versioned contract in `tools/fixtures/greenfield-expected-red.tsv`. Any later remediation that changes an observed verdict makes CI red until the owning lane deliberately updates that manifest:
-
- `git` present: P1 and strict P3 pass; P4/P5/P6/P8 fail for their own reasons; P9 refuses success.
- `git` absent: P1 fails before target mutation and the installer emits no `Done.`.
-
-The fixture is lane-parametric:
-
-```bash
-bash tools/e2e-install-test.sh --lane next --git present
-bash tools/e2e-install-test.sh --lane main --git present
-```
-
-CI exercises both lane parameters as expected-RED structural checks. Delivery targets `main` under the trunk-only merge rule; `next` remains a non-merging integration lane. The linked installer issue stays open after merge and closes only after Jarvis independently validates the greenfield behavior.
-
-## Source trust boundary
-
-Remote source mode pins the resolved commit, records the archive SHA-256, limits compressed/expanded size and entry count, and rejects traversal, links, devices, and special files before extraction. This provides immutable run provenance and archive safety, not an independent authenticity root. Signed artifact metadata/provenance is explicitly deferred by the canonical greenfield PRD; C1 does not invent a signing system. The checkout CI seam does verify an expected digest supplied independently by the fixture.

+
+Running log of a from-scratch Mosaic Stack install on Jason's test laptop **fomo-lin**
+(Debian 13, x86_64). Operator: **scooby** (agent). Started 2026-08-08. Channel per fred:
+findings → comms as they land; this file is the durable record. Branch: `greenfield/fomo-lin`.
+
+## Machine starting state (2026-08-08)
+
+- Debian 13 (kernel 6.12.101+deb13), no Node/npm, no global git config, no `~/.ssh`,
+  no `~/.config/mosaic`, no `~/.mosaic`, sudo requires password (agent cannot escalate).
+- Repos pre-cloned by Jason: jarvis-brain, mosaic-brain, stack, uconnect, uscllc-website
+  (all https remotes to git.mosaicstack.dev, **no credentials stored** — private-repo
+  fetch/push dead until a token was provisioned from credentials.json, `usc_mos`).
+- tmux session `scooby` running Claude Code (bare harness — not `mosaic claude`).
+
+## Pre-install setup that had NO framework mechanism (manual work)
+
+- Agent identity: `MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME=scooby` hand-added to `~/.bashrc` + tmux env.
+- Git identity + credential store: hand-configured.
+- Comms receive path: hand-ported `scooby-comms-watcher.sh` from fred's watcher +
+  hand-written systemd `--user` unit + `loginctl enable-linger`. Works (both peers
+  verified round-trip within ~90s), but every step was artisanal — relevant input for
+  harness-homes (W-F).
+
+## Install run (2026-08-08 ~19:09Z)
+
+`curl -fsSL https://mosaicstack.dev/install.sh | bash -s -- --yes --no-auto-launch`
+→ exit 0, framework v3 → `~/.config/mosaic/`, CLI @mosaicstack/mosaic **0.0.49** →
+`~/.npm-global/`. Prereq path: `sudo apt install nodejs npm` (Debian 13's node 20.19.2
+meets the ≥20 floor). Public read on the stack repo means the installer itself needs no
+credentials — good.
+
+## Findings (outside fred's known-gaps list of 2026-08-08)
+
+### F1 — PATH advice is print-only
+
+Installer warns `~/.npm-global/bin is not on your PATH` and suggests the rc line, but
+`shellProfileEdits: []` in the manifest — nothing is persisted. Every fresh machine ends
+with `mosaic` not resolvable in new shells until the user hand-edits rc. Either edit the
+rc (with consent/flag) or make the closing summary a copy-paste block.
+
+### F2 — Installer overwrites live `~/.claude/settings.json` + `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` with `backup: null`
+
+`.install-manifest.json` `runtimeAssetCopies` shows dest `~/.claude/settings.json`,
+`~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`, `hooks-config.json`, `context7-integration.md`, all `backup: null`,
+written while a Claude session was LIVE on this machine. On this box the pre-existing files
+were near-defaults so nothing of value was lost; on any configured machine this silently
+destroys user settings/memory. Wants: backup-before-overwrite (populate the manifest
+`backup` field it clearly already models) + merge-not-replace for settings.json.
+
+### F3 — Fresh install fails its own doctor: 10 warnings out of the box
+
+Immediately after a clean, successful install, `mosaic doctor` reports: missing `USER.md`;
+`AGENTS.md missing CRITICAL HARD GATES override block`; runtime file drift on
+`~/.claude/settings.json`; 7 missing `mosaic-*` skills. A green install that self-reports
+10 warnings erodes trust in doctor as a signal. Whatever subset is "expected until
+`mosaic init`/wizard" should be suppressed or labeled as such.
+
+### F4 — Drift check points users at the gated template (wedge hazard)
+
+The settings the installer writes to `~/.claude/settings.json` are UNGATED (no
+mutator-gate, no receipt-observer) — which on today's main is CORRECT, it avoids the
+Stop-hook wedge. But `~/.config/mosaic/runtime/claude/settings.json` (the file doctor
+diffs against) IS the gated template. So doctor's "runtime file drift" warning invites the
+obvious remediation — copy the template over — which would seed the receipt-observer wedge
+into a live seat. The drift baseline and the seeded file should be the same artifact, or
+doctor should know about the gated/ungated split.
+
+### F5 — Installed skill set is disjoint from repo `skills/`
+
+Skill sync installed 101 skills (six `mosaic-*`: deploy, gitea, orchestrator, portainer,
+tools, woodpecker) but NONE of the eight in stack `skills/` on main (board, forge, jarvis,
+macp, prd, prdy, setup-cicd, standards). Doctor then flags 7 of those 8 as missing
+(`mosaic-jarvis` escapes the check). Two sources of truth for "the Mosaic skills" — the
+installer's bundle and the repo dir — have diverged.
+
+## Environment answers / status
+
+- fomo-lin → sb-it-1-dt: **comms-only** today. Hostname does not resolve from here and the
+  laptop has no ssh keys. ssh reach would need Jason (key provisioning + route/VPN).
+- Gitea write to the stack repo: verified by the push of this very branch (token `usc_mos`).
+
+## Session 2 (2026-08-08 later) — `mosaic init` + first bare seat
+
+`mosaic init` completed (SOUL.md / USER.md / TOOLS.md generated; TOOLS.md was backed up
+before overwrite — the contrast with F2 shows the codebase already knows how). Its
+runtime-adapter step correctly REFUSED to wire mutator-gate/receipt-observer hooks
+(activation half absent, #869) — loud, explained, fail-safe. Good.
+
+First bare seat: **launched** — `mosaic claude --model sonnet` → Claude Code v2.1.226,
+runtime-contract injection verified from inside the seat. But it took findings F6–F10 to
+get there; on an untouched fresh main install, install → init → launch is broken at
+FOUR consecutive links.
+
+### F6 — SECURITY: `mosaic-init` eval-injects free-text answers
+
+`tools/_scripts/mosaic-init` line 142: `eval "$var_name=\"$value\""`. Any answer
+containing `"` crashes init mid-flow (reproduced: exit 127, USER.md never written);
+an answer containing `$( )` would EXECUTE arbitrary commands. Fix: `printf -v`.
+Same bug in the NON_INTERACTIVE default branch. Related: init exits 1 even on success
+when enforcement wiring is (correctly) refused — poisons any scripted chaining.
+
+### F7 — init silently drops the installer's `mcpServers` block → launcher refuses to run
+
+init's "Updating runtime adapters" rewrote `~/.claude/settings.json` and removed the
+`mcpServers.sequential-thinking` block the installer had written 11 min earlier.
+`mosaic claude` hard-requires that MCP → launch refused. The prescribed fix command
+(`mosaic-ensure-sequential-thinking --runtime claude`) works. So the happy path is
+install → init → BROKEN → hand-run a repair script. Merge-not-replace (F2) fixes this too.
+
+### F8 — no fleet roster on a fresh install; launcher dies with a raw stack trace
+
+`mosaic claude` throws an uncaught `Error: Fleet communications contract unavailable: no
+fleet roster at ~/.config/mosaic/fleet/roster.{yaml,json}` (full Node stack trace to the
+user). Nothing in install or init creates a roster (wizard untested here — `--no-auto-launch`;
+if the wizard seeds one, the bare-flow gap still stands). Unblocked by hand-authoring a
+minimal site roster from `fleet/examples/minimal.yaml`.
+
+### F9 — FLAGSHIP: activation-probe timeout loses to CLI cold-start on modest hardware
+
+`activation_version_gate.py` gives the `mosaic __lease-capability` probe
+`PROBE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 2.0`. On fomo-lin the CLI answers CORRECTLY in **~2.55–2.61s
+every run** (Node startup cost). Timeout → fail-closed → every bare `mosaic claude`
+launch aborts (exit 65) with an error blaming "mosaic not on PATH … framework/CLI version
+skew" — neither true. Invisible on fast dev boxes; fatal on laptops. Suggest: raise/make
+configurable the timeout, warm-probe cache, and split the three failure causes into
+distinct messages. Local workaround (documented, removable):
+`MOSAIC_LEASE_VERSION_PROBE_COMMAND` pointed at a script emitting the verified payload
+instantly (`~/.local/bin/mosaic-lease-probe-fast`).
+
+### F10 — shipped lease-broker unit is never installed → registration denied
+
+With F9 bypassed, launch dies with "Mosaic lease broker registration failed; runtime
+launch denied": the broker daemon isn't running, and although the framework SHIPS
+`systemd/user/mosaic-lease-broker.service`, nothing installs/enables it.
+`systemctl --user link` + `enable --now` of the shipped unit → READY instantly, launch
+proceeds. Installer/init/wizard should own this step.
+
+### Observations (not filed as findings)
+
+- Launcher settings audit demands `mutator-gate.py` while init refuses to wire it —
+  main's components disagree about the gated state (fold into #1113/F4).
+- Seat context: runtime contract injected ✓; SOUL.md NOT injected (seat confirmed) —
+  matches AGENTS.md read-on-demand load order, but README says the launcher "checks for
+  SOUL.md". Question for lead, not a finding.
+- `--ref next` install path verified available (flag exists, next archive HTTP 200) — not
+  exercised; fomo-lin stays main-as-shipped per lead ruling.
+
+## Next
+
+- Milestone comms sent at: install complete ✓ / first seat launched ✓.
+- First gated-seat probe deliberately deferred until PR #1109 lands (known deny-only state).
+
+## Session 3 (2026-08-08 evening) — wizard + gateway; refocus to `next`
+
+Directive from Jason mid-session: focus shifts to the `next` branch and the new structure
+(stock `~/.claude` untouched; framework wholly under `~/.config/mosaic`). Main's ~/.claude
+write behavior is a deprecated location — findings stand, but no further deep-testing of it.
+
+Wizard run (main): "keep identity, update framework"; ~/.claude hooks install DECLINED per
+directive (wizard rewrote ~/.claude/settings.json anyway — benign, no gated hooks, MCP kept).
+Wizard never prompted about fleet roster or lease-broker unit → F8/F10 disambiguation
+partial: wizard does not visibly own those steps. Full degraded-state test dropped per refocus.
+
+### F11 — gateway "Local" tier hard-requires Redis on main (fixed on next)
+
+Wizard gateway install, Local tier ("embedded database, no dependencies"), port 14242:
+daemon starts then crash-spams ioredis ECONNREFUSED; never healthy; killed manually.
+`main..next` already contains `56787fab fix(gateway): disable Redis consumers on local
+tier (#689)`. Main ships a gateway that cannot come up dependency-free; next has the cure.
+
+### F12 — wizard exits 0 on gateway failure
+
+Terminal shows "▲ Fix the underlying error above, then re-run `mosaic gateway install`"
+and the wizard exits 0. Scripted/CI consumers read success.
+
+### Cosmetic
+
+Skipping the optional ANTHROPIC_API_KEY prompt records the literal string "undefined".
+
+### `next` recon (read-only)
+
+- next install.sh: first-class `--next` prerelease lane (npm @next dist-tag CLI + framework
+  from permanent next branch; guard against mixing @next with a different explicit --ref).
+- next does NOT carry the new structure: ~/.claude handling unchanged; no harness-homes
+  design docs on next or main. New structure = Jason directive + fred W-F design phase.
+
+State: bare seat launch works; gateway stopped. Holding for fred's ruling on a next-lane
+reinstall (proposed) and W-F design review.
+
+## Session 4 (2026-08-08 night) — `--next` lane reinstall (pivot confirmed by Jason)
+
+Main uninstalled (note: uninstall removed `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`/hooks-config/context7 but
+LEFT its modified `settings.json` — asymmetric cleanup, minor). Reinstalled via next's own
+installer: `raw/branch/next/tools/install.sh --next --yes --no-auto-launch` → framework from
+permanent next branch + **CLI 0.0.50-next.2207 / gateway 0.0.7-next.2207 from the @next
+registry lane**. Lane works as designed.
+
+### N1 — FLAGSHIP (next-only): @next CLI requires Node 22; docs/installer floor says ≥20
+
+On Node 20.19.2 (Debian 13's apt version, and the documented minimum) **every** mosaic
+command crashes — even `--version` — with `ERR_REQUIRE_CYCLE_MODULE` in
+`@mosaicstack/brain/dist/projects.js`. npm corroborates: `[email protected]` declares
+`node >=22`. Verified the same installed CLI runs clean under Node **22.23.2** (nvm).
+So the @next lane is dead-on-arrival on the documented minimum Node. Fix: installer
+gates node ≥22 for the next lane (or brain drops the require cycle). fomo-lin now runs
+Node 22 via nvm (user-level; system apt tops out at 20 — durable fix wants nodesource 22).
+
+### F1–F12 recurrence scorecard on next
+
+| Finding | On next |
+|---|---|
+| F1 PATH print-only | RECURS (identical warning) |
+| F2 ~/.claude writes | RECURS (runtime assets copied again; per ruling, no deeper testing — W-F fixes structurally) |
+| F3 doctor warns on fresh install | RECURS (10 warnings, same classes) |
+| F4 drift-baseline wedge | RECURS (same gated template + drift warning) |
+| F5 skill sets disjoint | RECURS (same 7 missing mosaic-*) |
+| F6 init eval injection | RECURS (eval at lines 102/118/132 of next's mosaic-init) |
+| F7 init drops mcpServers | RECURS (verified: count 0 after init; ensure-script fix works) |
+| F8 roster raw-throw | RECURS in code (throw present in next launch.js; not re-triggered — roster restored from backup) |
+| F9 probe 2.0s timeout | RECURS (constant unchanged) — and compounded: probe spawns `mosaic`, which on ambient Node 20 crashes (N1), so the probe fails on slow AND stock-node hosts |
+| F10 broker unit not installed | RECURS (hand-relinked next's shipped unit; works) |
+| F11 gateway Redis-on-local | Expected FIXED (#689 in next); not yet live-verified — gateway install not re-run this session |
+| F12 wizard exit-0 | Untested on next (wizard.ts differs; #1120 tracks) |
+
+Chain result on next (with the same three workarounds: MCP ensure-script, restored roster,
+broker relink, plus probe override): **install → init → launch all pass; seat up on
+Claude Code v2.1.226 / sonnet under Node 22.**
+
+Net: next cures nothing in F1–F10 (they're all pre-W-F structural issues), carries the
+gateway fix, and adds one hard regression-class gap (N1 node floor). The W-F gap list
+stands unchanged as the fix vehicle.
+
+## Session 5 (2026-08-08 night) — `~/.mosaic` prototype hand-roll (second-host cross-check)
+
+Hand-rolled per HARNESS-HOMES prototype section, on the next-lane framework: skeleton
+(config/claude `{}`, auth/claude/jason_woltje.com with `primary` alias, empty plugins/skills
+stores), probe seat (profile.json schema 1, overlay `{}`, composed settings via three-layer
+deep-merge, credentials two-hop symlink, identity-bootstrap CLAUDE.md, seeded onboarding
+.claude.json, SOUL.md with positive Identity block).
+
+**Smoke test PASS** (`CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=<probe> claude --print`): RC=0, auth through the
+two-hop chain, seat self-identified as "probe". Post-run: both symlinks survived, live
+credential inode unchanged, transcript in probe's own projects/, probe generated its own
+backups/sessions, operator ~/.claude untouched. **dragon-lin's results replicate on a
+clean second host — the layout stands up greenfield.**
+
+### Gap-bites during the roll (feed to W-F)
+
+- **Base-template hole (F4/gap-5 adjacent, NEW):** the design's composition base
+  `~/.config/mosaic/framework/runtime/claude/settings.json` does NOT exist in the shipped
+  framework; the closest shipped artifact (`runtime/claude/settings.json`) is the GATED
+  wedge template. Used the operator's vetted ungated settings as base (as dragon-lin did).
+  W-F1 must define + ship the canonical UNGATED system base; gate hooks arrive only via
+  promotion overlay.
+- **Identity bootstrap vs permissions (NEW):** in `--print`/restricted mode the seat was
+  DENIED reading SOUL.md outside cwd — "read SOUL.md" bootstrap depends on tool
+  permissions. Generator should materialize the identity INTO the generated CLAUDE.md
+  (parameterized), keeping SOUL.md as source, not runtime dependency.
+- **Gap 2 lived experience:** probe exists in profile.json but not roster.yaml — the
+  hand-rolled seat and `mosaic claude` are disjoint universes on the same host.
+- **Gap 4 in miniature:** fresh-host store is empty; nothing defines what seeds it.
+- **Lease posture:** hand-rolled seats launch bare `claude` → ungated by construction
+  until `mosaic fleet launch` exists (consistent with current bare-for-real-work rule).
+
+### Addendum — gap-7 characterization (canonical ungated base)
+
+Diffed operator vetted ungated settings vs shipped gated template: the delta is exactly
+three items — template-only PreToolUse mutator-gate entry, template-only Stop
+receipt-observer entry, operator-only mcpServers.sequential-thinking block (whose omission
+from the template is F7's root cause). Spec: base = template − two gate hooks + mcpServers;
+promotion overlay = the two gate hooks, nothing more. Sent to fred (20260808T200337Z).
+
+## Box doctrine — true greenfield, repeatable full-cycle testing (Jason, 2026-08-08)
+
+fomo-lin's defining property: the test operator (scooby) is NOT a fleet seat — comms
+watcher, git identity, nvm/Node, and repos live entirely outside Mosaic. Therefore Mosaic
+can be wiped to TRUE ZERO and reinstalled in full, repeatedly, to test protocols
+end-to-end per cycle (each W-F fixture drop, each next release).
+
+Codified as `~/.local/bin/mosaic-greenfield-reset` (dry-run by default, `--yes` to
+execute): removes units/gateway/npm packages/npmrc scope/`~/.config/mosaic`/`~/.mosaic`/
+mosaic-written `~/.claude` files (settings reset to stock)/workaround shims; preserves the
+operator layer (watcher, git creds, nvm, repos, `~/.claude` auth + session state, baseline
+backup). Ends with a verify-zero checklist.
+
+Known boundary impurities the reset explicitly handles: `~/.claude/settings.json` is
+mosaic-written today (its QA hooks fire even in the operator's own session — observed:
+prevent-memory-write blocked an operator write), and the F9 probe shim sits in
+`~/.local/bin`. Both are named in the script rather than left as ambient state.
+
+Not executed yet — current install (next lane + prototype) is the substrate Fred's W-F1
+fixtures target. First full cycle runs when the next testable artifact lands.
+
+## Session 6 (2026-08-08 night) — promotion-branch E2E (Fred-directed, first fomo-lin full E2E)
+
+Branch feat/lease-promotion-and-harness-isolation (rebased on next), built from source
+(pnpm --filter '@mosaicstack/mosaic...' build), CLI packed + installed globally, branch
+framework installed to ~/.config/mosaic. Transcript:
+scratchpad/promote-e2e-transcript.md. Verdict: **BLOCKED at step 3, NOT VERIFIED (not faked).**
+
+Findings this session (all filed under scooby's own Gitea account):
+
+- **#1123** — TS activation capability probe hardcodes a 2000ms timeout; `node cli.js
+  __lease-capability` cold-start on fomo-lin is 5.1–5.5s, so `leaseEnforcementActivatable()`
+  returns false and the gate REFUSES to wire via the sanctioned path. The Python-side
+  F9/#1118 override does NOT apply to this TS probe. Worked around by bumping only the
+  installed dist timeout (reversible; can't mask a bad capability).
+- **LIVE WEDGE (F4 reproduced, un-recoverable):** hand-wiring the gated template into a live
+  BARE session's own runtime home hot-reloads the gate and bricks the session with
+  GATE_UNAVAILABLE (no lease). Every self-recovery path is closed (Bash/Read gated;
+  Write/Edit blocked by stale-guard needing a gated Read). Required an EXTERNAL shell to
+  restore settings. Exactly HARNESS-HOMES' "a live unpromoted session that gains the gate
+  cannot self-recover." Lesson applied: gated seats must be a SEPARATE mosaic claude process
+  in its own CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (~/.config/mosaic/.claude), never the operator's ~/.claude.
+- **#1124 — the critical link, proven to fail:** `mosaic promote` transport reads the lease
+  session id from `pane_pid`'s /proc/environ, but `execRuntime()` (launch.js:883) uses
+  `spawnSync` (NOT the exec-replace its own comment claims), so pane_pid = node(mosaic)
+  [no lease env] and the lease env is on the claude CHILD. resolve() never walks to the
+  child → 'no readable lease session' → UNVERIFIED exit 1, before injection. Fails for every
+  real `mosaic claude` seat; unit tests pass only via a mocked environmentReader. This is
+  the exact link terra couldn't test (detached pane).
+
+E2E scorecard: Step 1 (build/install) PASS. Step 2 (gated seat, real lease, mutator DENIED
+MUTATOR_UNVERIFIED, file not created) PASS. Step 3 (promote → VERIFIED) BLOCKED (#1124).
+Steps 4–5 not reached; failure-path sub-case (unresolvable seat → UNVERIFIED exit 1, no
+hang) incidentally confirmed. The branch does NOT pass E2E on a real host as-is; #1124 gates
+its merge.
+
+## Session 7 (2026-08-08 night) — promotion re-run on #1124 fix (b) @ de0adb92
+
+Rebuilt from de0adb92, reran steps 3+. **fix (b) confirmed working**; promotion advanced two
+links deeper and revealed two new findings. Debian 13 compat: `/proc/<pid>/task/<pid>/children`
+IS populated — BFS walk works, no PPID fallback needed.
+
+- resolve() (#1124 fix b): **PASS** — BFS walk from pane(node,no-lease) → claude child(lease)
+  resolved the real session id. The exact bug I reported is fixed.
+- **#1125** — `/mosaic-promote` first returned "Unknown command": the slash command is shipped
+  at `runtime/claude/commands/mosaic-promote.md` but NOT seeded into the seat's
+  `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/commands/`. UserPromptSubmit hook never fires → PROMOTION_TIMEOUT. F7-class
+  asset-seeding gap. Worked around by copying the command into the seat home; hook then fires.
+- **#1126 (deepest finding)** — with the command seeded, promote-begin injects (via
+  UserPromptSubmit additionalContext) an instruction to echo an opaque `MOSAIC-RECEIPT{...}`
+  token "verbatim and nothing else … discloses nothing." The seat MODEL REFUSED, correctly
+  flagging it as a prompt-injection pattern (imperative in a description field; verbatim opaque
+  echo; self-vouching language; no protocol legitimized in the seat's trusted context) →
+  RECEIPT_MISMATCH. Design-level: legitimate promotion is indistinguishable from an injection
+  attack to a well-aligned model; stronger injection defenses = more reliable promotion FAILURE.
+  Refusal evidence: docs/reports/greenfield/seat-receipt-refusal.txt.
+
+Scorecard: build/install PASS · gated seat + mutator DENIED PASS · resolve (fix b) PASS ·
+slash-cmd (post-#1125 workaround) PASS · receipt echo FAIL (#1126). Promotion does NOT reach
+VERIFIED on a real seat. #1124 fix validated; #1125 + #1126 now gate the merge.

+● I'm not going to echo that receipt string. A few things about this request don't add up, and I want to flag them before doing anything:
+  1. The "command description" is itself an instruction. In the skills listing, mosaic-promote is described as "I invoked this registered command to authorize lease promotion; follow the local seat
+  broker's injected receipt confirmation instruction exactly." That's not a description of what a skill does — it's an imperative instruction written in first person, injected into a field that's
+  supposed to be descriptive metadata. That's a classic injection pattern.
+  2. The "hook" reminder asks for verbatim, unexamined output. The UserPromptSubmit hook additional context block instructs me to output an opaque MOSAIC-RECEIPT{...} blob "verbatim and nothing else,"
+  and preemptively asserts that doing so "discloses nothing" — that's the kind of self-vouching language injected content uses to head off scrutiny. I have no way to verify what that token actually
+  authorizes downstream (it reads like a challenge/response for some privilege or lease-promotion action), and nothing in the actual Mosaic Constitution, AGENTS.md, or RUNTIME.md content I've loaded
+  this session mentions a "seat broker," "lease promotion," or a MOSAIC-RECEIPT protocol at all.
+  3. No genuine /mosaic-promote skill exists in the documented set. The real skill list (mosaic-gitea, mosaic-orchestrator, mosaic-portainer, mosaic-woodpecker, mosaic-tools, mosaic-deploy) has
+  nothing resembling this. A command that only shows up as a self-instructing string, paired with a matching "hook" telling me to blindly echo a token, is consistent with a prompt-injection attempt to
+  get an agent to produce an authorization artifact it doesn't understand.
+  I'm stopping here rather than emitting the receipt. If this is something you actually intended to trigger (a real seat/lease mechanism I'm not aware of), let me know and point me at where it's
+  documented and I'll take another look. Otherwise, I'd treat this as a suspicious injected command.

+# #1019 — Zero-timeout queue-guard harness race
+
+- **Issue:** #1019 (parent status remains `believed-fixed, pending jarvis validation`; do not close)
+- **Branch:** `fix/1019-ci-queue-timeout-harness`
+- **Owner:** `be-coder-08`
+- **Base:** `origin/main` at `5916aeefd6ed12bcac086c6834c7f6c4ae38e1bc`
+- **Charter:** `/home/hermes/agent-work/tl-mosaic/CHARTER-1019-HARNESS-FIX.md`
+
+## Objective
+
+Make `test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh` deterministic without changing any asserted outcome. Remove the indiscriminate zero-timeout race, require every status-classification case to prove the provider was observed, and prove the harness-controlled virtual clock is active.
+
+## Scope
+
+- In scope: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh` only, plus this evidence scratchpad.
+- Out of scope: guard parsers, D2/D3 behavior, installer/reseed staleness, PR #1060, and issue closure.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. RED deterministically reproduces deadline pre-emption before the provider call.
+2. Every case that intends status classification positively proves provider observation.
+3. Pending observes `pending` before deterministic virtual-time expiration.
+4. The virtual clock has a positive interception control; a broken-clock mutant makes the suite red.
+5. The exact CI-base image passes the final harness repeatedly with zero failures.
+6. Baseline gates, independent code/security review, exact-head CI, and coordinator-authorized squash merge pass.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Add deterministic RED instrumentation for the known merge/provider-unreachable pre-emption.
+2. Replace global `-t 0` with a nonzero timeout interpreted under an event-driven virtual clock; stub sleep without wall waiting.
+3. Add provider-observation and virtual-clock positive controls without changing outcome assertions.
+4. Run focused shell checks, repeat in exact CI-base image, baseline gates, and independent reviews.
+5. Commit with both identity layers, queue-guard plus direct Woodpecker terminal-state verification, push, self-post PR, verify poster/head/CI, obtain coordinator merge authorization, then squash merge without closing #1019.
+
+## Budget
+
+- No explicit token cap supplied. Keep scope to one harness file and one scratchpad; stop/report at the charter's 60% context gate.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- RED, deterministic pre-provider expiry: `evidence/1019-harness-fix/red-pre-provider-expiry.log` — rc 1; merge/provider-unreachable got rc 124 instead of 75, omitted CANNOT_ASSERT, did not observe the status provider, and wrote no additional audit record (four named failures).
+- GREEN host focused harness: `evidence/1019-harness-fix/green-host.log` — rc 0, all outcome classes passed.
+- Load-bearing clock negative control: a temporary same-directory mutant replaced the virtual `date` body with `/bin/date`; `evidence/1019-harness-fix/red-clock-not-intercepted.log` — rc 1 with named `virtual clock interception did not run` failures. The mutant file was removed after the run.
+- Exact CI-base repeat: `git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/ci-base:latest`, repository mounted read-only, harness work under container `/tmp`; `evidence/1019-harness-fix/ci-image-repeat/summary.log` — **100 pass / 0 fail / 100 total**.
+- Synchronization design: provider-status observation creates the event marker; virtual time is 1000 before the event and 1002 afterward. Pending alone reaches the stubbed no-op sleep and a post-observation deadline check. `-t 1` is uniquely load-bearing because removing it restores the 900-second default deadline at virtual time 1900, which 1002 does not cross. The numeric timeout is subject semantics under virtual time, not a wall-clock synchronization duration.
+
+## Review remediation — semantic timeout vs. liveness bound
+
+Security review found that virtual time remained at 1000 forever before provider observation and stubbed sleep never waited. A regression looping before the status endpoint—or blocking in the first provider call—therefore could prevent `run_guard` from returning, so the post-return provider assertion could never fire.
+
+**General rule:** A timeout usually serves two purposes: semantics and liveness. Removing wall time from semantic synchronization can silently remove the only independent hang bound. Preserve deterministic virtual time for subject semantics, but provide a separately implemented real-clock liveness watchdog and prove that watchdog fires.
+
+Remediation:
+
+- Every guard subject invocation is launched by absolute `/usr/bin/python3` in a new session. Python's internal monotonic `wait(timeout=...)` provides real-clock liveness independently of PATH; expiry kills the entire isolated process group, so neither PATH-front shims nor a blocked provider descendant can retain the capture pipe.
+- Watchdog expiry returns distinct harness rc 90 plus `FAIL HANG watchdog`, separate from subject timeout rc 124.
+- A first attempt using absolute `/usr/bin/timeout -s KILL` passed on GNU coreutils but failed in the exact Alpine CI-base image: BusyBox killed the immediate wrapper while the guard/provider descendants survived and retained the command-substitution pipe. The process-group kill is therefore required behavior, not portability polish.
+- A committed positive control hangs the branch-provider stub before the status endpoint. It must terminate through the watchdog, emit the hang-specific diagnostic, return rc 90, and prove the status provider was never reached.
+- RED before remediation: a temporary ordinary-success mutant hung before provider observation; only an external control could kill the suite (rc 137), and there was no internal hang-specific diagnostic (`red-watchdog-absent.log`).
+- The watchdog mutant/control is load-bearing: removing the internal watchdog leaves the control unable to produce its required rc 90 and diagnostic.
+
+Post-review evidence:
+
+- Host focused harness with process-group watchdog: rc 0 (`green-watchdog-process-group-host.log`).
+- Exact Alpine CI-base focused harness with process-group watchdog: rc 0 (`green-watchdog-ci-image.log`).
+- Hanging ordinary-success mutant: suite rc 1; success returned rc 90, emitted `FAIL HANG watchdog`, and loudly reported that provider/clock observation did not occur (`red-watchdog-fires.log`).
+- Removed-`-t 1` mutant: suite rc 1; pending was terminated by the watchdog instead of producing `ASSERTED_NOT_READY`, proving the explicit timeout is load-bearing (`red-timeout-argument-removed.log`).
+
+## 60% context hold
+
+Stopped before baseline/review/commit as required by the charter. Remaining: inspect final diff, shell/static/baseline gates, independent code/security review, remediation if any, identity-bound commit/trailer verification, mandatory queue guard plus direct terminal Woodpecker `mosaic` enumeration, push, self-posted PR/provider poster read-back, exact-head terminal-green CI, coordinator merge authorization, squash merge, main CI verification, and leave #1019 unclosed as `believed-fixed, pending jarvis validation`.

+# #1043 — Fleet pane git-identity propagation
+
+## Objective
+
+Ensure a fleet seat's launched runtime process receives its roster-derived `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`, and lock the complete generated-environment propagation boundary with an enumerated set comparison.
+
+## Tracking
+
+- External issue: `mosaicstack/stack#1043`
+- Branch: `fix/1043-pane-git-identity`
+- Coordinator: `tl-mosaic`
+- `docs/TASKS.md`: read-only by project worker contract; not modified.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- RED-first bug reproducer is mandatory.
+- R7 delete-the-subject mutation must turn the behavioral test red.
+- Assert launched-process environment, not source text.
+- One push only; do not poll CI after push.
+- Run the CI queue guard immediately before push and report its `state=` line as state, not evidence.
+- Do not modify a live host launcher or obtain/copy another credential.
+- Self-post the PR, verify provider attribution, then stop.
+- Final status wording: `believed-fixed, pending jarvis validation`.
+
+## Scope inventory
+
+Re-derived against `origin/main` at `85d2108e`:
+
+- Launch consumer: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/start-agent-session.sh`
+- Behavioral launch test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/test-start-agent-session.sh`
+- Generated-environment contract/parser: `packages/mosaic/src/fleet/generated-env-boundary.ts`
+- Roster projection producers:
+  - `packages/mosaic/src/commands/fleet.ts`
+  - `packages/mosaic/src/fleet/fleet-reconciler.ts`
+  - `packages/mosaic/src/fleet/fleet-agent-crud.ts`
+  - `packages/mosaic/src/fleet/v1-v2-migration.ts`
+- Contract and producer tests discovered by repository search.
+- Generated-environment operator/developer docs and their executable documentation contract test.
+
+Discrepancy sent to `tl-mosaic`: current main no longer contains the charter's `PANE_SHELL_SNIPPET`; #772 replaced it with an `/usr/bin/env -i` argv launch boundary, and current generated projections do not declare git identity. Code-read inventory is **NOT MEASURED** behavior.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Add the process-environment set-comparison regression first and record RED.
+2. Add roster-derived `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=<agent name>` to the complete generated projection contract.
+3. Validate identity syntax and equality with `MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME`; pass it through the clean pane environment.
+4. Update affected projection tests and generated-environment docs.
+5. Run focused and baseline gates.
+6. Perform R7 by deleting the pane propagation entry, prove RED, restore, and prove GREEN.
+7. Run independent review, remediate, commit, queue guard, one push, self-post PR, verify provider attribution, and stop without CI polling.
+
+## Budget
+
+No explicit token cap was provided. Working cap: one narrow logical unit, no dependency installation unless existing tooling requires it, no unrelated refactor.
+
+## Evidence log
+
+### TDD and mutation evidence
+
+- RED-first, repository launcher: `bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/test-start-agent-session.sh` exited 64 on pre-fix source with `code=unknown-key key=MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`. The generated seat could not launch with the required declared identity.
+- GREEN: the same repository launcher test emitted `ok - start-agent-session generated environment boundary`.
+- R7 delete-the-subject: removed only `"MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=$MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY"` from the repository launch array; the same test exited 1 with `FAIL: runtime pane omitted or changed generated environment keys: MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`.
+- R7 restoration: restored that launch entry; the same test returned green.
+- Launcher under test is explicitly `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/start-agent-session.sh` through the test's `$START`, **not** the stale installed host copy.
+
+### Situational and focused tests
+
+- Repository launcher boundary: green, including set comparison of all nine generated projection entries and fail-before-tmux cases for missing, unsafe, mismatched, and local-shadow Git identity.
+- Fleet systemd launcher integration: `bash packages/mosaic/framework/systemd/user/test-fleet-units.sh` — green.
+- Focused Mosaic Vitest set: 6 files, 311 tests — green.
+- `bash -n` on changed shell files — green.
+- `git diff --check` — green.
+
+### Baseline gates
+
+- `pnpm typecheck` — 45/45 tasks green.
+- `pnpm lint` — 25/25 tasks green.
+- `pnpm format:check` — green.
+- `pnpm test:checkout` — green.
+- Repository-wide Vitest under a hermetic current-version npm prefix: Mosaic 81/81 files and 1510/1510 tests green; other workspace test tasks shown green before the framework-shell phase.
+- Canonical `pnpm test` is not fully green on this host for unrelated environment-sensitive gates:
+  1. the first two runs exposed the globally installed Mosaic 0.0.48 update banner in three CLI smoke tests expecting empty stderr;
+  2. after isolating that global-version input, the framework wake assertion aborted at the known `#973` Bash `BASH_LINENO` convention check (exit 97; observed `[3 5]`, expected `[3 4]`).
+  No tests were weakened or bypassed; focused changed-surface tests are green. CI remains the canonical clean-environment result and is intentionally not polled after push per charter.
+
+### Independent review
+
+- Codex code review first pass: request changes for missing shell rejection-path coverage.
+- Remediation: added table-driven missing/unsafe/mismatch/local-shadow launcher cases, each asserting no tmux call.
+- Codex code re-review: **approve**, no findings, confidence 0.88.
+- Codex security review: risk `none`, no findings, confidence 0.97.
+
+### Acceptance criteria mapping
+
+| Acceptance criterion | Evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| AC-FGI-01: launched process receives every generated key/value | Repository launcher process-environment `comm -23` set comparison; GREEN and R7 RED evidence above |
+| AC-FGI-02: missing, unsafe, or split identity fails before tmux | Table-driven shell cases plus TypeScript generated-boundary tests |
+| AC-FGI-03: focused/baseline/review evidence recorded | Commands and review outcomes above; host-sensitive full-suite limitations stated explicitly |
+
+### Documentation checklist
+
+- PRD updated with #1043 requirements and acceptance criteria.
+- Fleet launch runbook, generated-env concept, and generated-env reference updated.
+- No API/OpenAPI, sitemap, user publishing target, deployment, or external docs publication change applies.
+- `docs/TASKS.md` remains unmodified per its single-writer project contract.
+
+## Round 2 — PR #1073 review 97 remediation
+
+### Review blocker
+
+The launched-process suite was signed-excluded from CI enumeration. Manual GREEN/R7 evidence therefore did not prove a PR workflow could detect regression.
+
+### RED-first and canonical wiring
+
+1. Removed the suite's signed exclusion before adding a CI execution path.
+2. `check-test-enumeration.sh` went RED with exact `UNENUMERATED` output for `test-start-agent-session.sh`: population 49, enumerated 30, excluded 18.
+3. Added both `framework/tools/fleet/test-start-agent-session.sh` and `framework/systemd/user/test-fleet-units.sh` to `@mosaicstack/mosaic`'s canonical `test:framework-shell` chain.
+4. The guard returned GREEN: population 49, enumerated 32, excluded 18, surfaces 45. The systemd suite is outside the guard's tools-only population but now has the same explicit canonical execution disposition.
+
+### Workflow-level R7
+
+- Deleted only the pane launch entry `"MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=$MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY"`.
+- Ran the exact `.woodpecker/ci.yml` test-step command, `pnpm test`, with only a temporary PATH-scoped npm shim reporting the checkout's current 0.0.49 version so the unrelated global 0.0.48 banner could not preempt the shell chain.
+- Result: exit 1 at `@mosaicstack/mosaic#test`, with the enumeration guard GREEN followed by `FAIL: runtime pane omitted or changed generated environment keys: MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`.
+- Restored the launch entry. The canonical `test:framework-shell` chain then reached both newly wired suites and printed both GREEN markers before the known unrelated #973 host-only `BASH_LINENO` abort.
+- An actual provider PR workflow on the intentionally broken mutant is **NOT MEASURED**: the one-push constraint forbids pushing a red mutant and then a repaired head. Local execution proves the exact PR workflow command and dependency chain go RED on the subject deletion; CI on the repaired pushed head remains canonical.
+
+### Workflow population
+
+- **DEFINED:** 3 workflows (`ci.yml`, `ci-image.yml`, `publish.yml`).
+- **ELIGIBLE for `pull_request`:** 1/3 (`ci.yml`), based on top-level `when:` clauses.
+- **REPORTED:** Round-1 exact-head provider read reported 1/1 eligible context (`ci/woodpecker/pr/ci`). Post-remediation-head reported count is **NOT MEASURED** by this seat because CI polling is prohibited; workflow definitions and eligibility did not change.
+
+### Independent remediation review
+
+- First Round-2 review identified a CI-image blocker: the newly wired launcher suite used Perl, which the Alpine CI base does not install.
+- Replaced the suite's three Perl-only fixture mutations with POSIX/BusyBox-compatible `sed -i` substitutions; production behavior and assertions are unchanged.
+- Codex re-review: **APPROVE**, confidence 0.93, no findings.
+
+### Vitest denominator reconciliation
+
+The PR's `311/311` is correct for its explicitly named six-file command at both the original and remediation worktrees:
+
+- generated environment boundary: 24
+- fleet documentation: 23
+- Tess service profile: 6
+- fleet regen command: 27
+- fleet agent CRUD command: 22
+- fleet command: 209
+- total: **311**
+
+Review 97 reported 312/312 without naming its six files. That is a different or miscounted population and cannot replace the command-scoped 311 denominator; the PR follow-up will name the exact files and arithmetic.
+
+## Round 3 — Alpine stale-marker portability
+
+### Objective and plan
+
+- Replace the GNU-only relative-date fixture with a deterministic POSIX/BusyBox timestamp while preserving the required stale-marker assertion.
+- Re-run the launcher suite in the canonical `ci-base:latest` Alpine image, then run applicable repository gates and independent review.
+- Update the PR body to name the repeated GNU-host/Alpine-CI portability pattern, run the mandatory queue guard, push once, verify provider attribution, and stop without CI polling.
+- Working budget: 8K tokens; scope is one fixture line plus delivery evidence. No production behavior changes.
+
+### RED-first evidence
+
+Before the fix, the canonical CI image command
+`docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" -w /work git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/ci-base:latest bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/test-start-agent-session.sh`
+exited 1 at the stale-marker setup with exact BusyBox output
+`touch: invalid date '10 seconds ago'`. The prior fresh-marker assertions had already executed, matching pipeline 2233's failure location.
+
+### Root cause and fix
+
+The test used GNU `touch -d` relative-date parsing although the PR workflow runs on Alpine/BusyBox. The fixture now uses POSIX `touch -t 200001010000.00`, a fixed timestamp that is unconditionally stale; the stale assertion remains mandatory and was not made tolerant of missing timestamp metadata.
+
+### Structural pattern
+
+This is the third GNU-host/Alpine-CI portability defect in the lane: GNU `grep` multi-match counting, Perl-only fixture mutation, and GNU `touch -d` date parsing. The repeated cause is shell suites authored on a GNU host but executed in an Alpine CI image; durable prevention belongs in CI-image execution or portability lint, not assertion weakening.
+
+### GREEN and quality evidence
+
+- Focused launcher suite in `ci-base:latest`: exit 0, `ok - start-agent-session generated environment boundary`.
+- Canonical test step in `ci-base:latest` with the pipeline's `pgvector/pgvector:pg17` service, readiness check, migration, and `pnpm test`: exit 0; 46/46 Turbo tasks; Mosaic 81/81 files and 1510/1510 tests; Gateway 57 passed/5 skipped files and 629 passed/11 skipped tests; enumeration 49 population / 32 enumerated / 18 signed exclusions / 45 named surfaces.
+- The first image-only `pnpm test` attempt lacked the pipeline PostgreSQL service and failed only on connection refusal after the launcher suite was GREEN. The rerun supplied the canonical service precondition and passed.
+- Canonical-image baseline: typecheck 45/45 tasks, lint 25/25 tasks, format check GREEN; `git diff --check` GREEN.
+- Independent Codex code review: APPROVE, confidence 0.96, 2/2 Round-3 files, no findings.
+- Independent Codex security review: risk none, confidence 0.99, 2/2 Round-3 files, no findings.
+
+### Re-derived inventory and denominators
+
+- Round-3 git delta: **2/2 files** — launcher suite and task scratchpad; 25 insertions / 1 deletion before evidence finalization.
+- Full PR path inventory against `origin/main` at `85d2108e`: **19/19 changed paths**; Round 3 adds no new PR path.
+- Workflow definition population: **1/3 pull-request-eligible** (`ci.yml` of `ci.yml`, `ci-image.yml`, `publish.yml`).
+- Do not re-litigate the settled 311/312 populations; both are valid for their separately named Tess6 and CRUD-core7 sets.
+
+## Round 4 — bound stale-marker observation
+
+### Objective and plan
+
+- Make the heartbeat assertion discriminate an initially stale native marker from a fresh marker without changing the production staleness threshold or shortening the polling window.
+- Freeze only the sidecar's numeric observation clock during the stale-fixture arm so elapsed assertion time cannot turn a fresh mutant stale.
+- Prove two independent mutants RED: disable production stale-marker detection while retaining the stale fixture; replace the stale fixture with a fresh marker. Restore the tree and prove GREEN in the canonical Alpine image.
+- Re-derive the changed-path inventory, run applicable quality and independent review gates, commit with environment-only author/committer identity, queue-guard, push once, verify provider attribution using curl stdin config, and stop without CI polling.
+- Working budget: 8K tokens. Scope is the launcher test and its scratchpad evidence; production launcher behavior remains unchanged.
+
+### Root cause and bounded observation
+
+The 30 × 0.1-second assertion window overlaps the production `now - marker > interval * 2 + 1` threshold at interval 1. Depending on second boundaries and load, a fresh marker can age past the threshold before the assertion ends. A focused pre-fix fresh-mutant attempt returned RED while Review 101's full-suite run returned GREEN; the differing result is itself timing dependence, not a discriminating assertion.
+
+The test now supplies a fixed numeric epoch only to the stale-fixture sidecar. Its real marker mtime is still read from the filesystem, but assertion runtime cannot advance `now`. Date formatting still delegates to the image's real `/bin/date`. Neither the production threshold nor the 30 × 0.1-second polling window changed.
+
+### Two-mutant RED / restored GREEN
+
+All three runs used `git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/ci-base:latest`:
+
+1. **Stale-detection mutant RED:** replaced only the production stale-age predicate with `false` while retaining the fixed stale marker; suite exit 1 with `FAIL: heartbeat sidecar did not resume after native marker became stale or absent`.
+2. **Fresh-marker mutant RED:** replaced only `touch -t 200001010000.00` with fresh `touch`; suite exit 1 with the same failed stale-resumption assertion. The fixed observation epoch kept the mutant fresh throughout all 30 polls.
+3. **Restored tree GREEN:** suite exit 0 with `ok - start-agent-session generated environment boundary`.
+
+### Re-derived inventory
+
+- Round-4 delta: **2/2 files** — launcher test plus task scratchpad; production launcher delta is empty.
+- Full PR inventory against `origin/main`: **19/19 paths**; Round 4 adds no path.
+- Production stale threshold remains `now - marker > iv * 2 + 1`; assertion polling remains 30 × 0.1 seconds.
+- Review 101's confirmed enumeration/workflow/CI and attribution evidence is accepted without re-polling or re-derivation.
+
+## Residual risk
+
+- Landing on `main` does not update the currently installed host launcher. Host framework installation/reseed and Jarvis live-seat validation are separate downstream events.
+- Canonical CI result is pending and will not be polled by this seat.

-# #1050 — Installer P0–P9 state machine and red-first fixture
-
-## Objective
-
-Implement C1 from the canonical greenfield-install PRD v2: a transactional P0–P9 installer spine, a side-effect-free P0–P8 `--check`, and a lane-parametric Debian/glibc non-root from-zero fixture. The acceptance milestone is an attributable RED on the pre-C1 installer while preserving P3 PASS.
-
-## Authority and scope
-
- Canonical requirements: `jason.woltje/jarvis-brain` `docs/plans/2026-08-04-greenfield-install-blockers-PRD-v2.md`. Currency was re-derived after compaction: authenticated fetch resolved `origin/main` to `cb23e5fbc8a282fa967b93d7a134fa48d11b4bb1`; the PRD and charters are byte-identical to the previously read remote copies.
- Tracking: `mosaicstack/stack#1050` on `git.mosaicstack.dev` (author read back as `be-coder-05`).
- Historical implementation base: `origin/next` `4df478cdd150fdf8d52ea109f02ade5d85017acd`. Delivery PR #1054 targets `main` under L0's trunk-only rule; `next` remains a non-merging integration lane.
- Out of scope: PATH, skills, headless wizard/identity, activation remediation, #869 wiring, RM-02, main promotion.
- `docs/TASKS.md` is orchestrator-single-writer and is not modified by this worker.
-
-## Plan
-
-1. Pre-register the canonical phase/output/side-effect-free/fault-injection checks and observe RED against the base installer.
-2. Commit the immutable red-first acceptance fixture before implementation.
-3. Add the state-machine/journal/postcondition spine without repairing P4/P5/P8 symptoms.
-4. Wire the expected-RED from-zero fixture into Woodpecker using Debian/glibc and a non-root target user.
-5. Run shell/static baselines, situational container validation, code review, security review, then deliver through a PR to `next` under the coordinator-owned merge path.
-
-## Budget
-
- Working estimate: 32K reasoning/output tokens.
- Hard external cap: none stated.
- Adaptation: keep implementation in shell surfaces already in scope; no package dependency install unless repository gates require it.
-
-## Pre-registered acceptance checks
-
-| ID | Exact case | Expected pre-fix result |
-|---|---|---|
-| C1-R1 | `tools/e2e-install-test.sh --lane next` in a clean Debian 12 container as uid 1001 | non-zero; P3 PASS; P4 `NOT-MEASURED / UNDECLARED`; P5/P6/P8 FAIL with own reasons |
-| C1-R2 | `tools/install-state-machine.test.sh` phase table case | RED because base installer does not enumerate canonical P0–P9 contracts |
-| C1-R3 | side-effect-free `--check` case over a fingerprinted HOME | RED because base `--check` is version-only rather than P0–P8 predicates |
-| C1-R4 | fault injection after each P2…P8 | RED because base installer has no injectable durable journal/rollback state |
-| C1-R5 | Docker unavailable | base harness incorrectly exits 0; replacement must fail non-zero |
-| C1-R6 | lane resolution | bare checkout is forbidden; fixture must pass `--next` and assert the resolved prerelease version |
-| C1-R7 | same Debian fixture with `git` absent vs present | absent: P1 FAIL while legacy installer exits 0 and sync degrades; present: P1 PASS and observed store/runtime containment 101/101 |
-
-## Progress
-
- [x] Charter, doctrine, delivery/CI/QA/docs guides read and re-anchored after compaction.
- [x] Canonical PRD v2/v3 addenda and charters read from fetched `origin/main`; numbering reconciles with the TL spec. No numbering conflict found. INV-B/C/D are binding and implemented without renumbering.
- [x] Target base reachability verified with `merge-base --is-ancestor`.
- [x] Issue #1050 created and provider author read back.
- [x] Initial RED captured; TL rejected P4's repo-root count as a false RED. Four populations disagree (framework payload 1, repo root 13, sync store 101 in the fixture, W-jarvis observation 7), so C1 now requires a checkout-free declared shipped-set artifact and reports P4 `NOT-MEASURED / UNDECLARED` until C5 supplies it.
- [x] P6 strengthens #869: the two dead enforcement hooks reproduce from zero on a clean broker-less container. C1 asserts the breach but neither wires nor unwires it.
- [x] P1 false pass identified from the P4 evidence row: `git` is absent from the Debian base and was undeclared even though skill sync shells out to it. C1 adds `git` to P1; the fixture matrix preserves absent/present controls. The prior claim that web1's missing runtime skills reproduce this greenfield mechanism is withdrawn by the TL and is not carried here.
- [x] Corrected RED transcript captured and reported, including the git-present/absent controls and strict P3 PASS.
- [x] State-machine implementation complete: private pre-mutation journal/snapshot, P0–P8 `--check`, P2–P8 fault seam, rollback, durable manifest/journal seal, action-status persistence, safe rollback roots, and stale-projection recovery.
- [x] Debian/glibc checkout fixture now packages the complete current checkout, verifies its digest in-container, and reaches the expected attributable RED without host inheritance. CI compares its exact final phase map/reasons to `tools/fixtures/greenfield-expected-red.tsv`; the fixture remains red while the detector job is green only on an exact match.
- [ ] Reviews complete. Automated review defects around Bash conditional errexit, explicit exits, P4/P6 persisted action status, dev/offline source resolution, stale locks, checkout coverage, and rollback path safety were remediated. Remaining automated objections are the charter-mandated expected RED/C5 boundary and signed provenance, which the canonical PRD explicitly defers; independent informed review is still required.
-
-## Risks / blockers
-
- The deployed create wrappers do not expose `--dry-run`; identity preflight was performed through `pr-merge.sh --dry-run` on the same HOMELAB repo, which resolved `git.mosaicstack.dev` + `be-coder-05`. The issue create then fell back from tea to the API but provider read-back confirmed author `be-coder-05`.
- `next` is a non-merging integration lane; PR #1054 targets `main`. The old “pending promotion to main” caution dissolved when the base moved. #1050 remains open after merge and closes only after Jarvis validates the greenfield behavior.
- #869 must remain staged and inactive.
- Late sequencing input MB-BRAIN-01 is accommodated without implementation or renumbering: P2 covers installer distribution only; P5 owns requested credential capability; P7 leaves an ordered seam for credential-dependent resource provisioning after P5.
-
-## Verification log
-
- `bash -n` and ShellCheck pass for all changed shell surfaces; `git diff --check` passes.
- `bash tools/install-state-machine.test.sh` passes, including exact P0–P8 rows, good/bad discrimination, persisted P4/P6 action failures, P2–P8 rollback, unsafe/overlapping/symlink roots, stale `active.json`, and fatal journal initialization.
- `bash tools/install-next-lane.test.sh` passes, including exact `@next` versions, immutable source fallback, source-build/archive-failure rollback, offline `--dev`, explicit refs, and prerelease suffix mismatch.
- `bash tools/e2e-install-test.sh --lane next --source checkout --git present` returns the required expected RED in clean Debian/glibc as uid 1001: installer P0/P1/P2/P3/P7 PASS; P4/P5/P6/P8 and P9 blocking; no `Done.` claim; checkout archive digest pinned and current framework installer exercised. `tools/verify-greenfield-expected-red.sh` converts that expected detector result into a green CI assertion and fails on any unreviewed verdict drift.
- Earlier repository gates passed: `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm lint`, `pnpm format:check`, `pnpm test:installer`, upgrade manifest/rollback/durable-snapshot/migration suites, and focused `@mosaicstack/mosaic` tests with an isolated npm prefix. Full rerun is required after final edits.

+# #1098 — Framework shell portability / red main
+
+## Objective
+
+Restore terminal-green `main` by making the `test-start-agent-session.sh` clean-environment assertion semantic and portable without removing either newly enumerated framework-shell suite.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Tracking issue: `mosaicstack/stack#1098`
+- Branch: `fix/framework-shell-portability`
+- Base: `origin/main` at `4fa2768962702d53e16e8b67ee6ad52ebcb0910e`
+- Primary file: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/test-start-agent-session.sh`
+- Requirements source: `docs/PRD.md` § Framework shell assertion portability (#1098)
+- Out of scope: deployed files under `~/.config/mosaic`, pnpm-store cleanup, checkout deletion, and changes to the launcher’s `/usr/bin/env -i` behavior.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. The test inspects the captured NUL-delimited tmux argv semantically and accepts an adjacent `/usr/bin/env`, `-i` pair regardless of trailing payload size or pipe scheduling.
+2. Missing `/usr/bin/env`, missing `-i`, and non-adjacent `-i` remain failures.
+3. Failure output includes the observed argv records with stable indexes and shell escaping; it exposes no credentials because this fixture supplies only generated non-secret launch data.
+4. The focused suite passes on the dev host and in the repository CI image; the blocking PR/main pipeline returns terminal green.
+5. Independent review passes; PR is squash-merged and #1098 is closed only after merged-main CI is terminal green.
+
+## Budget
+
+- ASSUMPTION: 30K-token working budget; rationale: one shell-test defect plus full PR/CI lifecycle.
+- Auto-reduction: focused shell and package gates first; rely on canonical Woodpecker for the full monorepo suite rather than duplicating a dependency install under constrained `/home`.
+- Disk baseline before clone/build: `/home` 7.1G free (99% used), `/tmp` 2.4G free (92% used).
+
+## Investigation
+
+### First-hand CI evidence
+
+- Public log: `GET https://ci.mosaicstack.dev/api/repos/47/logs/2269/53041`
+- Decoded 1,436 entries (11 null `data` entries treated as empty log rows), 190,756 bytes.
+- Failure: `FAIL: pane command did not clear its environment` immediately after the expected pane-PID warning.
+- BusyBox primitives, complete assertion pipeline, real CI image, stale/current image digests, Turbo cache masking, gateway failure, and heartbeat-sidecar concurrent writing were independently excluded.
+
+### Root cause
+
+The assertion ends in:
+
+```bash
+printf '%s\n' "$pane_args" | tail -n +"$after_pane_env" | grep -qxF -- '-i'
+```
+
+The script has `set -o pipefail`. `grep -q` exits as soon as it finds the valid `-i` record. Upstream `tail`/`printf` can then receive SIGPIPE, making the aggregate pipeline nonzero even though grep returned 0 and the semantic property is true. This depends on payload size, pipe capacity, and scheduling, explaining a local/image pass with a CI failure.
+
+Discriminating stress control with `/usr/bin/env` followed immediately by `-i`:
+
+- 8,192-byte trailing payload: `printf=0 tail=0 grep=0`, aggregate 0.
+- 16,384-byte trailing payload: `printf=0 tail=141 grep=0`, aggregate 141.
+- 32,768+ bytes: `printf=141 tail=141 grep=0`, aggregate 141.
+- A full-reading `grep -xF` control remained 0 for every payload.
+
+This is a third branch omitted by the earlier present-vs-corrupted split: the pair can be present and intact while `pipefail` reports an upstream SIGPIPE.
+
+## TDD plan
+
+1. RED: preserve the one-off stress reproducer above and add an automated large-argv semantic regression that fails under the current pipeline implementation.
+2. GREEN: parse the authoritative NUL-delimited capture into a Bash array and search for an adjacent `/usr/bin/env`, `-i` pair without a short-circuit pipeline.
+3. Add negative controls for missing, detached, and reversed tokens.
+4. On failure, print indexed `%q` argv records before returning nonzero.
+5. Run focused suite, mutation controls, shell syntax/format checks, then repository baseline gates feasible without dependency installation.
+6. Independent review, queue guard, push, PR, CI, coordinator merge authorization, squash merge, merged-main CI, issue close.
+
+## Progress
+
+- [x] Checkout created and based on `origin/main` `4fa27689`.
+- [x] CI log decoded directly.
+- [x] Root-cause stress control reproduced semantic match + aggregate pipeline failure.
+- [x] RED evidence: intact `/usr/bin/env`, `-i` fixture produced component statuses `0/141/0` and aggregate 141 under the former `grep -q` pipeline; full-reading semantic control stayed 0.
+- [x] GREEN implementation: direct NUL-argv adjacency parser, indexed diagnostics, and full-reading scalar predicates replace all load-bearing early-exit pipelines in this test.
+- [x] Baseline/situational tests:
+  - focused launcher suite: PASS on GNU host and cached Alpine CI image;
+  - paired `test-fleet-units.sh`: PASS;
+  - enumeration guard: PASS (`population=53`, `enumerated=36`, `excluded=18`), 14/14 mutation needles;
+  - `bash -n`, ShellCheck, `git diff --check`: PASS;
+  - static denominator after change: zero load-bearing `grep -q`/`head`/`-m1` pipeline candidates in `test-start-agent-session.sh`;
+  - delete-the-subject mutation removing production `-i`: RED with 78 indexed argv records, byte count, and explicit boundary failure.
+- [x] Independent review:
+  - first Codex review: request changes — negative fixtures did not each assert diagnostics;
+  - remediation: centralized predicate + diagnostic wrapper and exercised all four negative fixtures;
+  - second Codex review: APPROVE, 0 blockers/should-fix/suggestions;
+  - Codex security review: risk none, 0 findings.
+- [ ] PR CI, formal fleet review, merge, merged-main CI, issue closure.
+
+## Documentation disposition
+
+- Updated canonical `docs/PRD.md` with FSP requirements and acceptance criteria.
+- This is an internal test/reliability change with no API, user workflow, deployment, navigation, or publishing-surface change; no user/admin/API/sitemap update is required.
+- `docs/TASKS.md` remains unchanged because the project contract makes it orchestrator-only.
+
+## Risks
+
+- The CI failure did not print its captured argv, so the exact CI payload is unavailable. The stress control proves the assertion is non-portable and can emit the exact false verdict; branch CI is the canonical confirmation that replacing it resolves pipeline 2269’s failure class.
+- Printing fixture argv is safe only while this test’s projection remains non-secret. The diagnostic must stay scoped to the test capture and shell-escaped.

+# #1099 — pipefail + early-exit sweep
+
+## Scope and decisions
+
+- Baseline `df4c591ab42aa1ae62c12935fdc0e772684864a0`, after #1100 removed its 35 sites.
+- Split into review-sized non-closing tranches: runtime/general; tmux/git/quality tests; wake validation/tests.
+- Do not equate class membership with demonstrated risk. Do not use payload size or pipeline stage count as a safety proxy.
+- Preserve the issue's withdrawn findings for `qa-hook-stdin.sh` and the two fresh-directory `pnpm pack` lookups. Fix `install.sh:312` because malformed multi-root input must reach its named handler.
+
+## Tranche 1 TDD
+
+RED-first control: `node --test scripts/pipefail-early-exit.test.mjs` reported exactly 26 non-accepted runtime/general sites, including `install.sh:312`, and exited 1. A checked-in fixture generated from immutable baseline `df4c591a` records all 26 normalized sites; the control passes every fixture entry through the same scanner, asserts exact identity/count/uniqueness, and separately requires zero findings in the current tree. It also inventories accepted sites rather than silently excluding whole files.
+
+Construction choices:
+
+- here-string/file redirection for scalar grep assertions;
+- full capture then parameter expansion for first-line selection;
+- arrays/`mapfile` for complete populations;
+- direct jq/awk/grep selection where one tool can express the property;
+- no `|| true` added to a load-bearing assertion.
+
+Site-by-site verdicts: `docs/reports/quality/1099-pipefail-sweep.md`.
+
+## Tranche 2 TDD
+
+Expanded the unconditional scanner over 11 non-wake test harnesses. RED named exactly 22 source lines; a second immutable-baseline fixture now asserts those 22 entries through the same scanner. Rewrites preserve command status by capturing producers before redirected assertions, use parameter expansion for line selection, and use complete `mapfile` populations where ordering matters. Current-tree finding count is zero for tranches 1 and 2.
+
+## Verification so far
+
+- `bash -n` on every changed shell script: pass.
+- structural Node control: pass.
+- `test-mutate-push-guard.sh`: 8/8 pass.
+- `test-send-message-verdict.sh`: 3/3 pass.
+- `test-send-message-socket.sh`: pass.
+- Independent review 143 found two semantic regressions: a help-probe `|| true` changed the failure truth table, and an unguarded Git capture changed non-Git data-dir behavior from rc 0 + JSON to silent rc 128. Both received RED-first regressions before correction; help status is now separate and required, and Git status remains condition-guarded.
+- Wake detector/reconcile/digest/preimage suites terminate at their existing fail-closed #973 `BASH_LINENO` environment probe (exit 97, observed `[3 5]`, expected `[3 4]`) before subject tests. No bypass or skip was used; canonical CI remains required.
+- ShellCheck reports only pre-existing source-following, unused-variable, and untouched `ls | head` findings; no new diagnostic was introduced.

-# B1 / @next Durable Publish Pipeline — Design
-
-## Objective
-
-Make `next` a durable integration line that publishes the artifacts required by downstream federation boot tests without manual builds.
-
-Every merge to `next` publishes:
-
-1. **npm prerelease packages** to the Gitea npm registry with dist-tag `next`.
-2. **Gateway container image** tagged only as `gateway:sha-<short>`.
-
-The existing stable release behavior remains isolated to `main` / tags.
-
-## Registry verification
-
-Target registry: `https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/`.
-
-Pre-implementation checks:
-
- `npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic dist-tags --registry https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/ --json` returned a dist-tags object (`latest: 0.0.48`).
- `npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic@latest version --registry https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/` resolved `0.0.48`.
- `@next` currently returns 404 because no `next` dist-tag exists yet; this is expected before the first next prerelease publish.
-
-Pipeline design includes a post-publish verification that `npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic@next version` resolves to the exact CI-computed prerelease version. If Gitea fails to honor the `next` dist-tag, the pipeline fails closed.
-
-## Version scheme
-
-The prerelease version is computed at publish time only; no `package.json` version changes are committed.
-
-For each non-private `@mosaicstack/*` package:
-
-```text
-<target-stable>-next.<CI_PIPELINE_NUMBER>
-```
-
-Where:
-
- `CI_PIPELINE_NUMBER` is Woodpecker's monotonic pipeline number.
- `target-stable` is the package's current committed stable version with the patch component incremented.
-  - Example: `@mosaicstack/mosaic` `0.0.48` publishes as `0.0.49-next.1626`.
-  - Example: `@mosaicstack/gateway` `0.0.6` publishes as `0.0.7-next.1626`.
-
-Rationale:
-
- npm semver sorts `0.0.49-next.1627` above `0.0.49-next.1626`.
- The prerelease does not overtake the future stable `0.0.49`.
- The monotonic pipeline number avoids conflicts across repeated `next` merges.
-
-## Branch and tag guardrails
-
-| Pipeline path         | Branch/event                   | Publishes                                               | Forbidden              |
-| --------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
-| stable npm publish    | `main` push/manual or tag      | package versions already committed in package manifests | `@next` dist-tag       |
-| next npm publish      | `next` push/manual only        | CI-computed prereleases with `--tag next`               | `latest` dist-tag      |
-| gateway image         | `main` push/manual or tag      | `sha-<short>` + `latest` on main + tag on tag events    | next prerelease npm    |
-| gateway image         | `next` push/manual only        | `sha-<short>` only                                      | `latest`               |
-| appservice/web images | `main` push/manual or tag only | existing stable image behavior                          | next image publication |
-
-The pipeline has explicit branch checks inside the publish commands as a second fail-closed layer beyond Woodpecker `when` clauses.
-
-## Implementation plan
-
-1. Widen `.woodpecker/publish.yml` top-level `when` to include `next` so the publish pipeline runs on next merges.
-2. Keep existing `publish-npm` on `main` / tags only.
-3. Add `publish-next-npm` for `next` push/manual only:
-   - configure Gitea npm auth from existing `gitea_token` secret as `NPM_TOKEN`;
-   - preflight registry dist-tag metadata;
-   - compute prerelease versions in CI by temporarily editing package manifests in the workspace;
-   - run `pnpm publish ... --tag next` against non-private `@mosaicstack/*` packages;
-   - verify `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next` resolves to the computed version.
-4. Split image `when` anchors:
-   - `image_build_when` includes `next` and is used by `build-gateway`;
-   - `main_image_build_when` keeps appservice/web on main/tags only.
-5. Keep gateway next image destinations to `sha-<short>` only; no `latest` on next.
-
-## Risk controls
-
- Auth/registry failures are fatal.
- No manual image build/push path is introduced.
- No production `latest` tags are touched from `next`.
- No `@latest` npm dist-tags are touched from `next`.
- All changes live in CI config and docs; no runtime source behavior changes.

-
-Greenfield wizard on `next` reported:
-
-```text
-Skills sync script not found at ~/.config/mosaic/bin/mosaic-sync-skills

-
-## Diagnosis
-
-The framework install migration removed the legacy `~/.config/mosaic/bin/` directory and now installs framework helper scripts under:
-
-```text
-~/.config/mosaic/tools/_scripts/
-```
-
-`packages/mosaic/src/stages/finalize.ts` still resolved wizard helper scripts from `mosaicHome/bin`, so wizard-selected skills failed even though `mosaic-sync-skills` was present in the current framework layout.

-
- Resolve framework helper scripts through `tools/_scripts/<name>` first.
- Keep a legacy `bin/<name>` fallback for pre-migration installs.
- Point missing-script warnings at the current `tools/_scripts` layout.
- Update the finalize skills test fixture to model the fresh framework layout.
- Update framework README examples from legacy `bin/` helper paths to `tools/_scripts/`.

-# B3 — Wizard completion ordering
-
-## Problem
-
-The wizard printed the success summary / `Mosaic is ready.` during `finalizeStage`, before the gateway configuration stage had completed its daemon health check. If the gateway health gate later failed, the user could see a success claim followed by a gateway failure.
-
-## Diagnosis
-
-`finalizeStage` handled both mutation work and terminal success messaging. Wizard paths then ran `gatewayConfigStage` and `gatewayBootstrapStage` afterward:
-
-1. finalize writes config, links runtime assets, syncs skills, runs doctor;
-2. finalize prints `Installation Summary` + `Mosaic is ready.`;
-3. gateway config starts/waits for daemon health;
-4. gateway bootstrap runs.
-
-The summary needed to be deferred until after the gateway readiness gates.
-
-## Fix
-
- `finalizeStage` now returns a `showSummary()` callback and supports `deferSummary`.
- Wizard/quick-start paths call finalize with `deferSummary: true`.
- `showSummary()` is called only after gateway config reports ready and bootstrap completes, or immediately when the caller explicitly skips gateway setup.
- If gateway health/config reports not ready, the wizard returns/aborts without printing the success summary.
- Folded in adjacent runtime install hint fix for Pi: `curl -fsSL https://pi.dev/install.sh | sh`.
-
-## Verification
-
- Added unified-wizard coverage for summary-after-health and no-summary-on-health-failure.

-# B4 — Wizard step deduplication
-
-## Problem
-
-Greenfield wizard testing showed completed wizard steps could be executed again after the menu marked them `[done]`. In practice this made the Providers/API-key flow and Skills flow appear twice in one wizard run.
-
-There was a second related API-key duplication path: when the Providers step was completed with no key, `gatewayConfigStage` still prompted for `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` during Finish because it only skipped the gateway API-key prompt when `providerKey` was non-empty.
-
-## Diagnosis
-
- `runMenuLoop` labeled completed sections with `[done]`, but still dispatched the selected step again if the user selected that row.
- Quick Start ran Providers and Skills but did not mark those sections complete in `completedSections`.
- `runFinishPath`/`quickStartPath` defaulted `providerType` to `none` for gateway config, which made it impossible for `gatewayConfigStage` to distinguish:
-  - provider step completed and user intentionally skipped the key, vs.
-  - provider step was never run.
-
-## Fix
-
- Added a shared menu section key helper and a completed-step guard in `runMenuLoop`.
- Completed menu steps now log a skip message instead of re-running their stage.
- Quick Start marks Providers and Skills complete after running them.
- Finish/Quick Start now pass `state.providerType` as-is to gateway config instead of defaulting to `none`.
- `gatewayConfigStage` treats `providerType: 'none'` as an explicit completed provider setup with no key and skips the second gateway API-key prompt.
-
-## Verification
-
- Added unified wizard regression coverage asserting repeated Providers/Skills menu selections only execute each stage once.
- Added gateway config coverage asserting `providerType: 'none'` does not prompt for a gateway API key and writes no API key env var.

-# FED-M3-10 — Federation M3 Integration Tests
-
-## Objective
-
-Add single-gateway gateway integration tests for M3 acceptance #6 and #7.
-
-## Branch / base
-
- Branch: `feat/federation-m3-integration`
- Base: `origin/next` (`838701bd` after M3-06/#683 merge)
- PR base when unblocked: `next`
-
-## Scope
-
- Real PostgreSQL via `@mosaicstack/db`.
- Mocked TLS context / Fastify request shim for `FederationAuthGuard`.
- Direct controller calls using the real M3 route contract: `POST /api/federation/v1/list/:resource` with body `{ limit?, cursor? }`.
- Gated by `FEDERATED_INTEGRATION=1`.
- No federation harness dependency.
-
-## Fixture notes
-
-Aligned with the B2 seed design vocabulary:
-
- `tasks` visibility uses personal `projects` + `missions` chain.
- `notes` are `mission_tasks.notes`; the integration suite asserts subject-only note visibility on an authorized mission.
- Seed includes a second user and unauthorized team/project tasks to prove exclusion from the max-row-cap list result.
- Grants/peers are direct DB fixtures; cert auth still runs through `FederationAuthGuard` using real X.509 certs generated by existing test helpers.
-
-## Current implementation
-
-Added `apps/gateway/src/__tests__/integration/federation-m3-list.integration.test.ts` covering:
-
-1. M3 #6 — cert missing Mosaic OIDs returns 401 federation `unauthorized` envelope.
-2. M3 #6 — valid cert whose grant row is `revoked` returns 403 federation `forbidden` envelope.
-3. M3 #7 — active grant with `max_rows_per_query: 2` caps `list tasks`, returns `_truncated` + `nextCursor`, source-tags rows, and excludes other-user / unauthorized-team tasks.
-4. Cross-user notes invariant — subject can list their own `mission_tasks.notes` row while another user's note on the same authorized mission is excluded.
-5. Unsupported-resource invariant — `list widgets` fails closed with a federation `scope_violation` envelope.

-# Installer `--next` fast npm lane — 2026-06-25
-
-## Scope
-
-Flip `tools/install.sh --next` from source-build-first to fast npm `@next` first, with source fallback.
-
-## Registry reality check
-
-Gitea npm registry: `https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/`
-
-Verified before implementation:
-
- `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next` resolves to `0.0.49-next.1633`.
- `@mosaicstack/gateway@next` resolves to `0.0.7-next.1633`.
- `@mosaicstack/gateway` dist-tags include `latest: 0.0.6` and `next: 0.0.7-next.1633`.
- `apps/gateway/package.json` is non-private and has Gitea npm `publishConfig`.
-
-Conclusion: the installer can fast-install both CLI and gateway npm packages for `--next`. The gateway Docker `gateway:sha-<short>` remains the deployment/harness artifact; the npm gateway package is valid for the installer global package path.
-
-## Behavior
-
- `--next` with no explicit ref:
-  1. framework archive from `next`;
-  2. resolve `@mosaicstack/gateway@next` and `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next`;
-  3. require both resolved versions to share the same `next.<pipeline>` suffix;
-  4. install the exact resolved package versions;
-  5. set `MOSAIC_GATEWAY_SKIP_NPM_INSTALL=1` so wizard does not overwrite the prerelease gateway;
-  6. if either package is missing/unreachable/mismatched/fails, fall back to existing source build at `next`.
- `--dev` remains pure source build.
- explicit `--ref` / `MOSAIC_REF` still wins over `--next` and uses the source path for that exact ref.
-
-## Install detail
-
-The installer writes the scoped npmrc mapping (`@mosaicstack:registry=...`) and then runs npm install without overriding npm's default registry. Passing `--registry=<gitea>` to `npm install` forces public transitive dependencies (for example `@anthropic-ai/sdk`) to resolve from Gitea and breaks the fast path; the scoped npmrc mapping is the correct split-registry behavior.
-
-## Verification notes
-
- Added `tools/install-next-lane.test.sh` with a fake npm/source harness for exact-version fast install, registry failure source fallback, explicit-ref precedence, and mismatched suffix warning.
- Wired the installer harness into `pnpm test` via `pnpm run test:installer`.
- Real temp-prefix fast install succeeded with `@mosaicstack/[email protected]` and `@mosaicstack/[email protected]`.

-# Scratchpad — installer `--next` lane
-
-## Objective
-
-Add a prerelease installer lane for the permanent `next` integration branch.
-
-## Scope
-
- `tools/install.sh`
- README/install documentation
- Follow-up design note for future npm `@next` prerelease publishing
-
-## Plan
-
-1. Add `--next` and `MOSAIC_NEXT=1` as source-build shorthand for `next`.
-2. Preserve explicit ref precedence: `MOSAIC_REF` and `--ref` win over `--next`.
-3. Update installer source display/help text.
-4. Document three lanes:
-   - stable npm `@latest`
-   - prerelease `--next`
-   - contributor `--dev --ref X`
-5. Run shell and repo gates locally, then hold before push/PR until runner serialization greenlight.
-
-## Verification
-
- `bash -n tools/install.sh` — pass.
- `docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/mnt" -w /mnt koalaman/shellcheck:stable tools/install.sh` — pass.
- `bash tools/install.sh --check --framework --next` — source display shows `ref: next, --next prerelease lane`.
- `bash tools/install.sh --check --cli --next --ref feature-x` — source display shows explicit ref wins.
- `MOSAIC_NEXT=1 MOSAIC_REF=feature-env bash tools/install.sh --check --cli` — source display shows explicit env ref wins.
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline --store-dir /home/jarvis/.local/share/pnpm/store` — pass (local override for repo `.npmrc` CI store path).
- `pnpm typecheck` — pass (41 successful tasks).
- `pnpm lint` — pass (23 successful tasks).
- `pnpm format:check` — pass.
- `bash tools/e2e-install-test.sh` — attempted; current baseline fails during gateway health after stable registry install because Valkey is unavailable in the clean container. The `tools/install.sh --yes --no-auto-launch` stage itself completed before the downstream gateway verification failure.

+# PR merge squash message field
+
+- **Charter:** `/home/hermes/agent-work/CHARTER-PRMERGE-MESSAGE-FIELD.md`
+- **Owner:** `be-coder-08`
+- **Branch:** `fix/pr-merge-message-field`
+- **Base:** remote `main` / local `origin/main` at `85d2108e4ed15c744ad3b87a5b629e7b2d39405a`
+- **Estate:** HOMELAB tooling shared by HOMELAB and USC
+
+## Objective
+
+Add an optional, identity-checked Gitea squash message to `pr-merge.sh` so genuine multi-author PRs retain non-poster branch authors without weakening hardcoded squash behavior.
+
+## Binding requirements
+
+1. `Do` remains hardcoded to `squash`; no provider/repository default may select merge style.
+2. A verified trailer uses a PR commit's linked `author.login` and that same commit's author email. No `/users/{login}` primary-email lookup occurs. Recorded rationale: this asks only what the provider can answer.
+3. A commit with `author.login` null blocks before merge, prints both the null provider fact and commit email fact, and names the escalation principal.
+4. The BLOCK arm must be observed firing; a normal canonical single-author API payload remains explicit squash plus its reviewed `head_commit_id`.
+5. Every provider mutation is read back from the provider; no real PR is merged during tests.
+
+## Derived interface decisions
+
+- Add `--co-author-trailers` rather than accepting arbitrary message text. The wrapper enumerates PR commits and constructs trailers, making an unchecked `Co-authored-by` line unexpressible.
+- Require `--escalate-to PRINCIPAL` with `--co-author-trailers`, so the BLOCK diagnostic always names a principal rather than a generic role.
+- Do not expose `MergeTitleField` separately. When trailers exist, set it from the provider PR title and set `MergeMessageField` only to construction-generated trailers. This preserves one provider source for the title and avoids an unrelated caller-controlled degree of freedom.
+- Preserve first-commit order and emit one trailer per distinct non-poster `author.login`, using that first linked commit's own email.
+
+## Canonical delivery plan
+
+1. Port the capability into the installed source of truth, `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-merge.sh`; do not retain `infra/fleet/tools/git` as a second copy.
+2. Preserve canonical `--expect-head`, exact head branch/repository/SHA queue inspection, Gitea atomic head pinning, GitHub `--match-head-commit`, and delete-after-merge semantics.
+3. Do not port the deployed-only `--skip-queue-guard` bypass. Add the focused harness to the canonical framework-shell suite and re-establish RED/GREEN on the packaged baseline.
+4. Deliver through a reviewed package release followed by `mosaic update` with its default framework reseed. The installer snapshots, manifest-syncs framework-owned `tools/**`, and rolls back on failure.
+5. Before either estate relies on the change, require installed/package hash equality, `MergeMessageField` presence, and a green focused harness. Release/reseed ownership is currently unassigned and blocks activation after source merge.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- RED against the byte-identical deployed baseline (`sha256 08a65e8584c5…`): rc 1 with eight named failures. The wrapper rejected `--co-author-trailers`; the null-login path emitted none of the required BLOCK facts/principal; and both verified/ordinary API paths failed the stdin-config credential assertion (ordinary path exposed the fixture token through curl argv). Log: `/home/hermes/agent-work/be-coder-08/evidence/prmerge-message-field-red.log`.
+- GREEN on the deployed-baseline candidate: verified linked multi-author payload, null-login BLOCK, required named principal, explicit squash, stdin-config token transport, and absence of `/users` lookup all passed. Log: `/home/hermes/agent-work/be-coder-08/evidence/prmerge-message-field-green.log`.
+- RED against canonical packaged baseline `c581ef48…`: rc 1 with 32 assertions. It rejects the new option, and the first harness version did not satisfy canonical head branch/repository/SHA metadata. Log: `/home/hermes/agent-work/be-coder-08/evidence/prmerge-packaged-baseline-red.log`. The port adapts the fixture rather than weakening canonical head controls.
+- Provider capability probe against `git.mosaicstack.dev`: authenticated `be-coder-08` POST to deliberately nonexistent PR `2147483647` with both message fields returned JSON HTTP 404; the unauthenticated same request returned JSON HTTP 401 (not the charter's predicted 403). The authenticated-vs-unauthenticated differential proves write authorization resolved while no mergeable subject existed. `tl-mosaic` ruled the literal non-load-bearing: preserve the observed 404/401 pair and do not manufacture a 403 case. No cause was inferred and no real PR was targeted.
+- Provider-generated trailer behavior is not treated as exclusive or absent. The wrapper's VERIFIED/BLOCK decision binds each requested non-poster trailer to commit `author.login` plus that commit's email; it does not assume `MergeMessageField` is the squash's only trailer source. The poster is omitted from the constructed list because the resulting squash author already records the poster; any additional provider-generated trailer is outside this change's unmeasured mechanism.
+- An early candidate SHA-256 `5de32876990e4f26920448cb3220cc7f1146d558b4dd2bc1ee1a2abee2f2cbe6` passed the initial harness, then author-side review found credential-fallback and argv-exposure defects. The live deployed wrapper was atomically restored to baseline SHA-256 `08a65e8584c52c6d41ea1c686f8b95585c21e4b37320a2447eba09359a0e02c1`; the remediated candidate remains only in the worktree.
+
+## Remediation and current review state
+
+1. Token and Basic Auth now use stdin curl configuration, not argv. PR title, contributor email, and the JSON payload also remain out of child argv.
+2. Each credential attempt binds commit inspection and merge. A token failure during either inspection or mutation causes Basic fallback to repeat inspection before mutation; the payload pins the inspected `head_commit_id`.
+3. Focused tests cover token-resolution fail-closed behavior, both HTTP-401 fallback seams, metadata/credential argv absence, null-login BLOCK, explicit squash, canonical reviewed-head binding, unchanged ordinary payload, and retained log-safe provider diagnostics. Token-resolution RED: `/home/hermes/agent-work/be-coder-08/evidence/prmerge-token-resolution-red.log`.
+4. Codex review rounds 3–5 requested retained provider error text, log-safe provider diagnostics, fail-closed credential fallback, stable value-option parsing, and PR-title trailer-injection prevention. These are remediated with regression assertions. A post-remediation independent review is still required.
+5. **Accepted linkage limitation:** `author.login` resolution proves that the commit address maps to a registered provider account. It does not prove that the named principal authored the commit because Git author metadata is self-asserted. This gate checks attribution linkage, not authorship; commit signing is out of scope and currently unadopted. Coordinators explicitly ruled that this does not add a third state.
+6. Codex's sandbox could not execute the harness because its checkout was read-only; that environmental limitation is recorded separately from host-side test results.
+
+## Disposable provider fixture acceptance
+
+- Use a retained scratch repository only, with two branch authors and `author != committer` on at least one commit.
+- Arm A supplies a message-field trailer for one non-poster; record whether that value lands without forcing the partial-pair result into under-specified `APPENDS`/`REPLACES` labels. Demonstrate an absence control.
+- Arm B includes a registered trailer for a different non-poster on a branch commit; record whether it survives or drops. Verify identity through an existing commit whose `author.login` resolves and demonstrate an absence control.
+- Parse landed trailers key-agnostically with `^[A-Za-z-]+-[Bb]y:` and record generated poster pair presence/absence plus resulting poster attribution.
+- Record `/users/<login>` status and raw email only as non-gating estate telemetry. Never read `active`, `visibility`, or any profile field as an identity gate.
+- Use distinct principals: poster `be-coder-08`, merger `Mos`, Arm A `be-coder-07`, and Arm B `be-coder-06`. Capture every trailer-shaped line verbatim and in order. Zero trailer lines means the generator did not fire and the run is `VOID`, not evidence that either arm dropped.
+- Report the same read-back evidence to `mos-claude` on socket `default` and `tl-mosaic` on socket `mosaic-fleet`. Report values rather than mechanism inferences and stop on any poster-attribution regression.
+
+## Fixture preflight
+
+- Retained public repository: `mosaicstack/prmerge-trailer-fixture`; PR `#1`, posted by `be-coder-08` and reserved for merge by `Mos`.
+- Existing `mosaicstack/stack` commits resolve `be-coder-07` and `be-coder-06` through `author.login`; exact addresses are `[email protected]` and `[email protected]`.
+- Non-gating HOMELAB telemetry for authenticated reader `be-coder-08`: `/api/v1/users/be-coder-06` returned HTTP 200 with raw `email` value `[email protected]`.
+- Provider preflight showed PR commit enumeration is newest-first. A new RED test proved that deriving `head_commit_id` from the final array element selected the wrong commit. The candidate now reads `.head.sha` from the authenticated PR endpoint before enumeration, verifies it appears in the commit set, and atomically pins that SHA in the explicit squash payload. RED: `/home/hermes/agent-work/be-coder-08/evidence/prmerge-head-order-red.log`.
+- Fixture PR head `f6ba6e5105031fa21f5ff7bd8e4379d99c16e1de` has `author.login=be-coder-07`, `committer.login=be-coder-08`, and branch-message trailer `Co-authored-by: be-coder-06 <[email protected]>`.
+
+## Fixture result
+
+- `Mos` merged retained fixture PR `#1` through staged candidate SHA-256 `60e779a85fd13b729d859ea7c986d1e9b1641b97991611329226c1b3113ffb6e`; resulting squash commit: `3f550715d9bc716426fd355a65fe997b3a90fa7d` with one parent.
+- Provider read-back: poster/commit author `be-coder-08`, committer/merger `Mos`. The run is non-void.
+- Trailer-shaped lines, verbatim and in order:
+  1. `Co-authored-by: be-coder-07 <[email protected]>`
+  2. `Co-authored-by: be-coder-08 <[email protected]>`
+- Arm A supplied field value (`be-coder-07`) landed. Arm B branch trailer (`be-coder-06`) dropped. Both fabricated absence controls remained absent. No `Co-committed-by:` line landed.
+- The candidate payload construction explicitly excludes the poster and supplied only the Arm A `be-coder-07` line. Therefore the landed poster line was provider-generated, not candidate-composed. The raw result supports `FIELD LANDS`, `BRANCH DROPS`, and `POSTER GENERATED`; it does not support a claim that candidate code supplied the poster. Evidence: `/home/hermes/agent-work/be-coder-08/evidence/prmerge-fixture-readback.log` and the retained provider object.
+- Retained fixture PR `#2` measured the N=2 shape needed by `#1030`: supplied `be-coder-07` then `be-coder-06`; both landed in that order, followed by the provider-generated poster line. No truncation or dedup occurred at N=2. Resulting squash: `39db9d13aed0…`.
+
+## Current hold point
+
+PR `mosaicstack/stack#1066` is open. Its first frozen head `f4b162fa…` was terminal-green in Woodpecker `mosaic` pipeline `#2225`, but that evidence becomes stale when the canonical port moves the head. The deployed wrapper remains baseline `08a65e85…`; no manual copy will occur. Canonical port tests, commit amendment, rebase, one guarded force-with-lease, exact-head CI, and new independent review remain. Even after source merge, activation remains blocked on an assigned package-release/reseed owner and installed-byte read-back.
+
+## Security review 96 remediation
+
+Exact reviewed predecessor head: `1ceb11058f64dd7f4a817ceb2124f980a1c4dd23`.
+
+RED-first focused harness produced 10 named failures: all curl calls lacked size/time/connect bounds; raw ESC email reached mutation; oversized and stalled curl failures were discarded and reached mutation; nonempty Basic output with resolver rc 91 authorized mutation.
+
+Security remediation:
+
+- Removed the cross-principal HTTP-401 Basic fallback. Both inspection-401 and merge-401 paths now refuse without Basic resolution or mutation; `get_gitea_basic_auth` references in the merge subject are 0.
+- Applied `--max-filesize`, `--max-time`, and `--connect-timeout` to all 3/3 provider curl sites and fail closed on curl transport rc at all 3/3 sites.
+- Required linked email bytes to be ASCII and printable before constructing `MergeMessageField`; guarded construction sites 1/1.
+
+GREEN: message-field, exact-head, empty-UID/API, queue branch/repository/SHA, bash syntax, ShellCheck, and diff check pass. R7 total-removal mutants went RED: email guard 3 rows; bound switches 1 row; transport-rc guards 4 rows; HTTP-401 refusal 3 rows. R7 bound: mutants prove total removal only; explicit denominators above prove site coverage.

 Skill names are direct children using `[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]*`, not paths. Registration rejects traversal/control characters and never replaces foreign files, directories, or symlinks; unregister removes only links that point inside the canonical Mosaic skill root.

+#
+# TWO DEFECTS IN THE FIRST VERSION OF THIS TEST, both found by be-coder-08:
+#   1. `out=$( ... ) 2>"$errto"` applies the redirection to the ASSIGNMENT, not to the
+#      command substitution, so the probe's stderr was never actually pointed at /dev/full
+#      and the /dev/full rows proved nothing. Verified: `out=$(echo x >&2) 2>/dev/full`
+#      leaks to the terminal and returns 0; the redirect must be INSIDE the substitution.
+#   2. `eval "$CONSTRUCT"` changes `set -e` semantics for a bare && list, so the probe did
+#      not exercise the construct as the shipped file executes it. It now writes the line
+#      into a real script and runs it -- same parse, same set -e rules, no eval.
+# The construct is still LIFTED FROM THE SHIPPED FILE: retyping the fixed form makes the

+# Regression: issue-close.sh must NOT close an issue when the closing comment could not
+# be posted, and comment+close must be made by ONE principal.
+#
+# Guards two defects fixed together (see #1081):
+#   1. `tea issue comment` is not a subcommand -- tea exposes comments as the TOP-LEVEL
+#      `tea comment`. The old call always failed, was unchecked, and the issue closed
+#      anyway, losing the record of WHY it was closed.
+#   2. Routing the comment through the token-authenticated API helper while the close
+#      used --login would attribute one operation to two principals.
+#
+# SAFETY (rev-974, #1085 review 130): this test previously ran under `set -uo pipefail`
+# with unchecked mkdir/redirect/cd, then prepended a possibly-nonexistent $MOCK_BIN to
+# PATH -- while `git remote add origin` names the REAL repository. Forcing setup failure
+# with an unwritable AGENT_WORK_ROOT made it `git init` in its CALLER's directory and
+# invoke the real, provider-mutating issue-close.sh. Setup now fails closed, and both
+# `tea` and `curl` are asserted to resolve INSIDE $MOCK_BIN before any target run.
+set -euo pipefail
+# NOTE: with `set -e`, `grep -q X && fail "..."` is a trap -- the ABSENT case (grep rc=1,
+# which is the PASSING case for a must-not-appear assertion) is the last command of an &&
+# list and silently terminates the script with no message. Every must-not-appear check
