Proposed per-data-root durable halt with human-only resume, generation-fenced starts, bounded concurrent termination, write-once stop receipts and existing event mirror; no schema migration. DESIGN.md inventories starter/continuation paths and container control-mount restriction. Sent to Dewey with Sage copied; implementation waits independent design approval.

DESIGN-r2.md now names CLI interim path, unavailable UI controls, trusted initialization and fail-closed missing leaf, container delete/replace mount tests, reservations and id-bound reconciliation. Small notes addressed including diagnostic seats and aliases. Recommended smaller Docker scope to Sage; design and scope approval pending, no code or test runs.

Existing single-file evidence is historical, 249/249 and overlapping Client readers 102/102; suites/mutants/gate remain pending.

+# Row 273 (#1778): activate --send and --no-sso
+
+Darkwing, 2026-10-22. Brief: `docs/plans/2026-10-22_activate-send-nosso.md` (blob in f0d0b31e9), approved by
+Mos in mos-1246 (F39). Base: origin/refactor 0042f713d. Reviewer: Filbert. Gate owner: Sage.
+
+## What changed
+
+Only `scripts/stack-release.sh` and its two node test files.
+
+- `activate --send` puts `--send` into the run's Console flags after `--sso` and before the tester
+  flags, where webui-service.sh renders it. It refuses `send-needs-sso` unless those flags hold `--sso`,
+  given or carried. The plan line is `send: on; --send was given`, or `send: carried` when the pointer
+  already holds it. `check_target` lets it name the pointer's copy only when the pointer holds no `--send`,
+  so a second `--send` on the same copy refuses `already-active`.
+- `activate --no-sso` refuses `sso-not-on` when the pointer holds no `--sso`. Otherwise it takes the
+  Console flags from a rollback set (below) and keeps the pointer's tester flags. `send_for_target`
+  drops `--send`, whether it came from the set or the pointer. It is the only place that does, so one
+  mutant there (M3) shows the drop is tested. The plan prints `sso: off; Console flags from <set>/<file>; restores <flags>`
+  and a send line, `send: dropped; --no-sso drops --send (F39)` or `send: off; --no-sso was given and the
+  pointer holds no --send`. The steps log gets `drop --send; --no-sso was given` and
+  `turn off --sso; the Console flags come from <set>/<file>`.
+- Usage errors: `--send` with `--no-send`; `--no-sso` with `--sso`, `--send`, a proof pair or
+  `--no-proof`; either flag on any verb but activate; either flag under `--units external`.
+  `--no-sso --no-send` is allowed, since the brief doesn't forbid it and both drop the same flag.
+- The set read that `sso_base` did inline for a rollback to a Console without `--sso` moved into
+  `set_flags`, which both paths call. Its three messages are unchanged, and T57 still pins them.
+- `from_log` has a new mode, `sets`: the activation of each ok activate and rollback line, newest first,
+  stopping at the adopt line, which took no rollback set.
+
+## The consequential choice: which set --no-sso reads
+
+The brief says the flags come from "the rollback set of the activation that turned `--sso` on", and that
+"a set whose Console already ran with `--sso`" refuses. Each set holds the Console unit from before its
+run. So the activation that turned `--sso` on is the newest one whose set holds a Console without
+`--sso`: every activation after it ran with `--sso`, and so did every set it left.
+
+`no_sso_base` walks the log's sets newest first and stops at the first set whose Console has no `--sso`.
+It refuses `sso-off-flags` at the first set it can't read (missing, failing its SHA256SUMS, or with no
+argv the script can parse), since it can't tell whether that set was the one. If every set ran with
+`--sso`, it refuses with `the Console in <set>/<file> already ran with --sso, and the log names no
+earlier activation`. A log with no set at all refuses with `the log names no activation with a rollback
+set`.
+
+The tradeoff: a later same-copy re-pin that carried `--sso` (a `--no-send`, or a re-pin onto a newer
+copy) doesn't break `--no-sso`, which the phase 2 window needs if a re-pin lands between step 5 and a
+rollback. The cost is that "a set that ran with `--sso` refuses" now applies only when no older set
+without `--sso` exists. A tampered set on the walk still refuses, even one newer than the set the walk
+would have used. Filbert, please rule on this reading.
+
+## Filbert's early look: B1 and N1 (sage-2315)
+
+Filbert accepted the walk. Sage ruled both findings into this row.
+
+- B1: row 200's rollback to a copy whose Console has no `--sso` took the flags from the set and kept
+  the pointer's `--send`. From an `--sso --send` pointer, which this row's `--send` can now make, that
+  gave a Console with `--send` and no `--sso`, which F39 b forbids. `send_for_target` now drops `--send`
+  whenever the run drops the pointer's `--sso`, so it is still the one place that drops it. The plan
+  line reads `send: dropped; the run drops --sso, and --send needs it (F39)`, and the steps log gets
+  `drop --send; the run drops --sso`. Row 200's sso line now names only the tester as following the
+  pointer.
+- Changed existing assertion, for the review to approve by name: T57 item 3 (sage-1389), "the
+  plain case", ends with `assert.deepEqual(pointer(g).console,[...noSend(gbase),...pair(f)])`. It
+  used to expect `'--send'` at the end. The case seeds a legacy `--send` pointer, turns `--sso` on
+  (which carries `--send`), then rolls back to B, whose Console has no `--sso`. A carried `--send`
+  that ends without `--sso` breaks F39 b whatever its source, so the old pin asserted the wrong
+  outcome (Sage accepted this in sage-2321). Row 200's two sso plan strings also lose "--send and"
+  (`ROLLBACK_PLAN` and the round 3 named-instance case), since `--send` no longer follows the pointer
+  on that path.
+- N1: the walk skipped an ok line with no activation. Skipping it could land on an older set that
+  isn't the right one, so it now refuses `sso-off-flags` with `an ok line in the log names no
+  activation`. The walk reads the log through `mapfile`. That gives no entry for an empty log, so a
+  log with no set still gets its own message.
+
+## test-release.sh
+
+The window plan says test-release.sh "gets cases for both". The brief lists it only as a file to run
+whole. test-release.sh is release.sh's Docker selftest and doesn't call stack-release.sh, so the cases
+live in the node tests and test-release.sh runs unchanged.
+
+## Tests (T58 in stack-release.test.mjs)
+
+- T1: `--sso --send` from B onto C1 with a tester port: plan, pointer, unit and steps. `--send` beside a
+  carried `--sso` re-pins C1 once; a second `--send` refuses `already-active`; C carries it.
+- T2: `--send` without `--sso` refuses on another copy and on the pointer's copy, also when the pointer
+  carries `--send` alone; `--plan` lists the refusal.
+- T2 (sage-2315 B1): `--sso --send` onto C1, then a rollback to B, whose Console has no `--sso`. The
+  pointer and the unit end with neither flag, and the plan and steps name the drop.
+- T2 and T4 usage: every forbidden pairing and verb, checked against the full usage text.
+- T3: from an `--sso --send` pointer, `--no-sso` on the same copy gives back the pre-`--sso` ExecStart
+  line byte for byte, without `--send`. A second case walks past a `--no-send` re-pin that ran with
+  `--sso` and keeps the pointer's tester port (7334), which differs from the set's (7333). A third
+  (sage-2305 a) turns `--sso` on, then re-pins twice with `--send` and `--no-send`, so the two newest
+  sets both hold `--sso`. `--no-sso` then gives back the arrival's ExecStart line byte for byte.
+- T4 (sage-2305 b): two sets, both edited or written to hold `--sso` with sums intact, refuse
+  `sso-off-flags` through `refused()`.
+- T4: `sso-not-on`; an ok line with no activation; a set that fails its sums, ran with `--sso`, has no
+  argv or is missing; a log with no set. Each runs through `refused()`, so nothing stops and nothing else changes.
+- T5: stack-release-external.test.mjs adds `--send` and `--no-sso` to the row 232 usage list.
+- T55 test 5 and the T57 usage test match the new usage line.
+
+## Mutants
+
+| # | Change | Expected killer |
+|---|---|---|
+| M1 | `set_flags` skips the SHA256SUMS comparison when `--no-sso` is given | T4 tampered set |
+| M2 | `no_sso_base` skips the `sso-not-on` refusal | T4 `sso-not-on` |
+| M3 | the `--no-sso` branch of `send_for_target` keeps `--send` | T3 |
+| M4 | `--send` skips the `send-needs-sso` refusal | T2 |
+| M5 | parse_opts drops the `--send`/`--no-send` rule | T2 and T4 usage |
+| M6 | a rollback to a Console without `--sso` keeps `--send` (B1) | T2 (sage-2315 B1) |
+| M7 | the walk skips an ok line with no activation (N1) | T4 no-activation line |
+
+Runs and results go in the round's notes once Sage clears the slot.

+from refactor db1e7732a. Line numbers are on this branch unless a commit is named.
+
+## mapping.mjs
+
+- `kind` (:71). An entry with a `kind` key must say `"hybrid"` or `"draft"`. Before, a plain universe
+  with `kind` refused as an unknown key, and `kind: "draft"` did the same.
+- A draft (:73-86) refuses `books` with its own message before the key check, so the cause reads
+  plainly. It takes `kind`, `name` and `playground`, needs one prefix or more, and comes back as
+  `{ kind: 'draft', name, books: [], playground }`, frozen with the rest.
+- The prefix level check moved out of the per-entry loop to :127-140, after every entry is read,
+  because it needs every entry's books. It runs after the book-holds-book, prefix-holds-prefix and
+  listed-twice checks, so an overlap still reports as before. For each prefix and each book folder:
+  - equal to any book folder: `library-mapping-invalid` (brief, What ships, "or equal to a book folder");
+  - inside or holding another entry's book: `library-playground-other-universe`, and the message says
+    which, with the book and its entry;
+  - holding its own entry's book: `library-mapping-invalid`.
+  A prefix inside its own book is book level, and one that touches no book is universe level. A draft
+  has no books, so its prefixes are either outside every book or refused as another entry's.
+- `sources` (:117-120) now refuses any entry with a `kind`, so a draft can't be a source either. The
+  message changed from "not a non-hybrid universe" to "not a plain universe". mapping.test.mjs:61 on
+  db1e7732a pinned the old words, and that line moves with it.
+- `library-playground-outside-book` is gone from packages and docs/case2.
+
+## scope.mjs
+
+`classify` (:12-24) now runs two passes. The first finds a prefix in any entry, and the file is
+`playground` with that entry's id and `book` set to the entry's book folder that holds the prefix, or
+`null`. The second finds a book folder, and the file is `canon`. `place` (:26-32) works out `type` and
+`folder` from the first folder under the prefix or the book, as before. The validator keeps prefixes
+from overlapping, so the first pass finds at most one.
+
+## Readers on this base
+
+- reader.mjs:182 and :194 spread `classify`'s answer into each file record, so a universe-level or
+  draft file carries `book: null`. Nothing in the reader reads `book`.
+- reader.mjs:206-209. R5 fires for a canon file linking into any playground. R6 fires when the target's
+  universe differs and isn't a source. A draft can't be a source, so a link into one gives R5 and R6.
+  A link into the file's own universe-level prefix gives R5 only. No code change was needed. The new
+  test covers both.
+- survey.mjs:66 and mirror.mjs:246 read only `scope`. mirror.mjs:251 calls `readLibrary` and checks
+  only `path`.
+- No other package calls this `classify` or reads `universes` (git grep over packages/*/src).
+- C2-05a (row 216) and C2-06 (row 217) have no candidate branch on origin at the time of writing. I
+  check again before in-review.
+
+## Tests
+
+- mapping.test.mjs: the old outside-book test splits into the other-universe refusals (inside another
+  entry's book, holding one, a draft prefix inside a book), the mapping-invalid ones (equal to a book,
+  own or another's, and holding its own), universe level in a plain universe and in a hybrid with
+  `books: []`, and the draft shape (frozen with `books: []`, with `books`, with none or empty
+  prefixes, an extra key, and five bad `kind` values). The overlap test gains a cross-entry hold and a
+  cross-entry duplicate. The hybrid test gains a draft source. The caller-supplied `fail` test now
+  uses `Second World/Playground/` and sees the new code, since `Elsewhere/` is valid now.
+- scope.test.mjs, new: one case per level (book, universe in a plain universe, universe in a hybrid,
+  draft), `.canvas` under each new prefix staying unmapped, prefixes first inside a book that holds a
+  prefix, and the reader case for R5 and R6, with `book: null` on the read records.
+- business.test.mjs: `Elsewhere/Playground/` now loads, and `Second World/Playground/` refuses with
+  `library-playground-other-universe` through `validateBusinessDocument`.
+
+## Docs
+
+- packages/library/README.md: the universe keys, a line on the three levels, the refusal table and
+  the Scope section.
+- docs/case2/SETUP-SHEET.md "Your playground": one line per level and the draft entry.
+- docs/case2/SURVEY-RUN.md:114: the new code and message.
+
+## Hash pins

+`git grep -E '[0-9a-f]{64}'` over packages/*/tests finds no pin on any changed file.

+

+mos-0977, DECISIONS Q176). Owner Honker, reviewer Webby, gate owner Sage. Base: refactor at 53bb59462.
+Branch `honker/row194`.
+
+Related designs read: row 190 `agents/darkwing/work/queue-190/DESIGN.md` (r2, after mos-0986), row 191
+`agents/rocko/work/queue-191/DESIGN-r2.md`. Row 193 is still in design. All line numbers below are at
+53bb59462.
+
+## Summary
+
+- One verb family on the CLI, `mosaic business instance <verb> BUSINESS INSTANCE`, and one Console section.
+  Create and delete change the business file. Launch, terminate and regenerate act on runs.
+- Every human verb goes through the bus with the human proof. Launch, regenerate and delete are requests the
+  launcher takes once and carries out under `serialize`. Launches go through the one `start()`, so
+  `--no-launch`, the limits, `launch.revoke` and row 191's switch all apply.
+- The chief hires (adds and lists an instance) and fires (ends its runs and delists it). It never deletes.
+  `role.hire` and `role.fire` are new hard waits, so Jason resolves each one (Mos, mos-1017). The routed
+  form waits on a PRD 1.7 draft in this packet.
+- A hire allowlist in code: the chief can hire only a definition whose every action is on `HIRE_ALLOWED`
+  (message, record, review request, assigned-task updates, and two actions that matter after row 199).
+  Launch, end, organization, naming, hire, verdict, merge and every later action stay out.
+- The per-agent forbid is two lists in the business file that only the human writes: `launch.keep`
+  (instances the chief can't fire, replace or end) and `launch.noHire` (definitions the chief can't hire).
+- The broker reloads a business from its file after each committed write. Create, delete, hire, fire and
+  veto changes then count without a bus restart. Hand edits still need one, except `bus.tester`.
+- No bus schema change and no migration. Named for review: two new vocabulary actions (hard waits), the
+  role-file `hireable` key, `"hireable": []` in `roles/chief-of-staff.json`, and three business-file keys.
+
+## What exists today (checked at 53bb59462)
+
+| # | Fact | Where |
+|---|---|---|
+| E1 | Instances are keys of the business file's `roles`. `launch.instances` lists those the chief may launch. The list must be non-empty | `business.mjs:121-132` |
+| E2 | The human adds an instance and changes its definition, vars and listing. No delete. Credentialed definitions are refused | `instance-settings.mjs:1-5, 22-31, 75-156` |
+| E3 | The broker copies the businesses once at start and refuses a role it doesn't know | `broker.mjs:208, 446` |
+| E4 | The chief launches over `launch.sock`. `fromSession` checks identity, then `check()` (which reloads the file), then `authorizeLaunch`, then `start()` | `launcher.mjs:232-327, 624-668` |
+| E5 | The chief's `launch` tool takes an enum of the instances listed when its bundle was built | `harness/src/tools.mjs:116-119` |
+| E6 | The chief ends a run with `role.revoke` plus a reason (`role.end`). Ending then launching again is already a replace | `broker.mjs:1601-1628`, `tools.mjs:167` |
+| E7 | `mosaic stop RUN` is a same-uid SIGTERM. It has no bus call and no human proof | `cli.mjs:447-454`, `seat/src/session.mjs:249-270` |
+| E8 | The Console stops only the assistant (`assistant.stop`) and writes instances through `instances.set` | `serve.mjs:282-289, 315-363, 535` |
+| E9 | The launcher already starts runs for the human on its 2 s tick: threads with pending messages, and merge holders | `launcher.mjs:133, 487-597` |
+| E10 | `launch.revoke` and `launch.restore` are human-only. A revoked business refuses `role.launch` | `broker.mjs:770-774, 2087-2095` |
+| E11 | Only the assistant is END_PROTECTED. Coder, reviewer, pm and cto all declare gitea and vikunja credentials | `vocabulary.mjs:135`, `roles/*.json` |
+
+The chief's veto today comes from the human-only membership in E2. The chief can only launch what the human
+listed. It has no way to create an instance, and the human has no way to stop the chief ending a given
+instance's runs.
+
+## D1. The verbs
+
+All of them are human verbs. Each is a broker verb behind `#human(s)` and then the D4 hook. Each logs its
+actor. The CLI usage joins `INSTANCES_USAGE` (`cli/src/instances.mjs:9`).
+
+| Verb | CLI | Bus verb | Effect |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| V1 create | `business instance add B I --definition DEF [--vars FILE] [--launch] --revision REV` | `instances.set` op `add` | as today, with no restart (D3) |
+| V2 launch | `business instance launch B I [--wait SECONDS]` | `instance.launch` | one run, through the launcher |
+| V3 terminate | `business instance terminate B I [--reason TEXT]` | `instance.end` | ends every run of I and cancels I's open requests |
+| V4 regenerate | `business instance regenerate B I [--wait SECONDS]` | `instance.regenerate` | V3, then V2 once the run has exited |
+| V5 delete | `business instance delete B I --revision REV [--wait SECONDS]` | `instances.set` op `delete` | a request. The launcher removes I from the business file and renames its workspace |
+| V6 veto | `business veto B (keep\|unkeep) I` and `business veto B (nohire\|hire) DEF`, each `--revision REV` | `veto.set` | edits `launch.keep` and `launch.noHire` |
+
+`mosaic business instances B` (read) gains, per instance: `running` (run ids from the bus claims), `kept`
+and `retired`. The top level gains `noHire`. `mosaic stop RUN` stays as it is. It is the same-uid operator
+tool, and V3 is the human verb.
+
+### D1.1 Requests (V2, V4, V5)
+
+The broker never starts a process or touches a workspace. Launch, regenerate and delete are requests the
+launcher carries out, as E9 already does for the human's threads. A request has three states, open, taken
+and closed, all recorded as `action.allowed` events with reserved action names:
+
+| Event | Written by | Body |
+|---|---|---|
+| `lifecycle.launch`, `lifecycle.regenerate`, `lifecycle.delete` | the broker, at the verb | `{ request, via }`, subject I, actor the human or `tester`. A `human.input` event goes with it, as `launch.revoke` does |
+| `lifecycle.taken` | host op `lifecycleTake` | `{ request }` |
+| `lifecycle.done` | host op `lifecycleDone` | `{ request, run? , refusal? }` |
+| `lifecycle.cancelled` | V3, for each open request of I | `{ request, by }` |
+
+1. The launcher's new `lifecyclePass` runs on the same tick as `threadPass` and `landPass`. It lists open
+   requests with host op `lifecycleRequests`.
+2. For each one, under `serialize`, it calls `lifecycleTake(request)`. That op runs in one store
+   transaction. It re-checks, in order: the request is still open (not taken, cancelled or closed), it is
+   less than 60 s old (else it closes as `request-expired`), the business isn't revoked (`launch_state`,
+   `launch-revoked`), I isn't retired, row 191's switch is off (`processing-halted`) for launch and
+   regenerate, and for a tester request `bus.tester` is true in the file (D4.1). Any failure closes the
+   request with that code. Otherwise it writes `lifecycle.taken` and answers go.
+3. Only after go does the pass act: `check(I, { human: true })` then `start()` for a launch, the V5 steps
+   for a delete.
+4. The pass then calls `lifecycleDone`. A taken request never runs again, whatever happens after the take.
+   If `lifecycleDone` throws, the request stays taken with no done event. The CLI reports that as
+   `outcome-unknown` with the request id, and the launcher log names the run.
+5. The CLI polls a read verb, `instance.request`, until the request closes or `--wait` runs out (default
+   30 s). A timeout exits 3 with the request id. An untaken request can still be taken within its 60 s.
+
+So the human's `launch.revoke` stops every untaken request, not only new ones (B4), and a bus restart
+can't start a request older than 60 s.
+
+### V2 launch
+
+1. At the verb the broker checks that I exists, isn't a thread instance (`not-thread-launch`: threads start
+   on a message), isn't retired, and that the business isn't revoked and, with row 191, isn't halted. These
+   repeat at the take (D1.1 item 2).
+2. After the take, `check(I, { human: true })` and `start({ instance: I, launchedBy })`, where
+   `launchedBy` is the business human or `tester`. `human: true` lets the human launch an instance that
+   isn't in `launch.instances`. The listing limits the chief, not the human. `launch.by` still goes through
+   the `pm: true` branch (`launcher.mjs:235`), as `--pm` does today. Every other step of `check()` and
+   `start()` is unchanged.
+
+### V3 terminate
+
+1. The broker revokes every claim I holds (`#claimEnd(s, h, 'revoke', null, reason, actor)`). A thread
+   instance has all its thread claims revoked, which is exactly `assistant.stop`.
+2. In the same transaction it writes `lifecycle.cancelled` for every open (untaken) request of I, so no
+   launch the human asked for before the terminate starts after it (B5).
+3. It writes `lifecycle.end` with the runs. The launcher pass sends SIGTERM to each run's runner after
+   checking its start time, as the idle stop does (`launcher.mjs:526`). It also signals any run of I in the
+   launcher's registry that has spawned but not yet bound, which holds no claim yet. The existing exit
+   handler records the end, so the launch journal and `session.ended` are unchanged.
+4. Nothing held, nothing open and nothing in the registry answers `not-held`.
+5. Terminate is allowed while row 191's switch is on. It starts nothing.
+
+A taken launch request is past cancelling. Its run reaches the registry under `serialize`, and the next
+terminate ends it. The CLI's terminate output says so when a taken request exists.
+
+There is no SIGKILL escalation in this row. A run that ignores SIGTERM keeps running. `mosaic stop` and the
+limits are the operator's tools for it (N6).
+
+### V4 regenerate
+
+A fresh session with the same identity and role. It is V3 then V2 under one request. The pass takes the
+request, waits for the old run's exit handler, then runs `check()` and `start()`. The workspace stays, as
+it does across every launch today. The session is new because every non-thread launch gets a new run dir
+(`seat/src/session.mjs:107`, newRun). If the old run hasn't exited by the request's 60 s mark, the request
+closes as `regenerate-timeout`, nothing starts, and the old run is still running (N6).
+
+A thread instance (the assistant) refuses `regenerate-thread`. Its context lives in the thread's session
+directory, and clearing that is T1 item 7 (clear context). This row doesn't take it.
+
+### V5 delete
+
+`instances.set` gains op `delete`. At the verb the broker and the writer refuse, in this order:
+
+| Refusal | When |
+|---|---|
+| `tester-refused` | the caller is the tester (B6) |
+| `organization-definition-refused` | I is END_PROTECTED |
+| `organization-instance-referenced` | I is `launch.by` or an arbiter. The message names the reference |
+| `organization-instance-kept` | I is in `launch.keep`. The human runs `veto unkeep` first. Delete never clears a veto silently |
+| `organization-credentials-out-of-scope` | I holds credentials or a tracker bot. That stays a hand edit until the credentials row (row 199) |
+| `instance-running` | the broker sees a claim for I. The human terminates first |
+| `instance-starting` | an open or taken request for I has no done event |
+| BusinessError | I is the last name in `launch.instances` (E1). The message says so |
+
+The checks pass with no write, and the broker records a `lifecycle.delete` request. After the take, the
+launcher pass, under `serialize` so no `start()` of I runs alongside it:
+
+1. Re-checks the registry for I (`instance-running`) and re-runs the writer's checks against the file as it
+   stands. The `--revision` the human gave must still match, else `revision-conflict`.
+2. Commits the file through the organization writer. It removes `roles.I` and the references that exist
+   only for I: its `launch.instances` entry, its `launch.limits.tokens.instances` entry and its
+   per-instance model entry. It adds I to a new top-level list, `retired`. The build lists every place
+   `validateBusinessDocument` reads a role instance name and puts each one in one of the two groups (refuse
+   or remove). A reference the table doesn't name stops the build and goes back to Webby.
+3. Renames `workspaces/<b>/I/` to `workspaces/<b>/.retired/I-<transaction>/`, mode 0700. No workspace is
+   no rename.
+4. Calls `lifecycleDone` with the transaction.
+
+The file goes first. Once it is committed, `check()` refuses I as unknown, so no launch can open the old
+workspace even if step 3 fails. A failed rename closes the request with `workspace-rename-failed`, the
+transaction and the path left behind. A second `delete` of a retired name skips steps 1 and 2 and retries
+step 3 only. The file and evidence are already right, so this is the whole recovery.
+
+What stays:
+
+- Run evidence (`launches/<b>/<run>/`, `launches/<b>.jsonl`) and bus rows are untouched. They are
+  write-once.
+- The workspace, under `.retired`. This row deletes no file. A prune with a receipt is a later act.
+- `retired` stops a later create or hire from reusing the name. Decisions bind to the role instance and
+  outlive restarts (`broker.mjs:783-788`). A new `coder` would otherwise inherit an approval raised by the
+  old one. The tradeoff is a name that can't come back without a hand edit. I chose that over voiding
+  decisions, which would touch a second store.
+
+### V6 veto
+
+`veto.set` args: `{ revision, op: "keep" | "unkeep" | "nohire" | "hire", name }`. It goes through the
+organization writer, so it is logged with actor and diff in `changes.jsonl`. `keep` needs a declared,
+non-END_PROTECTED instance. `nohire` needs a name that matches the id pattern. A no-op answers
+`organization-no-change`. It is human-only and isn't in `TESTER_ORGANIZATION_VERBS`.
+
+## D2. Chief hire and fire
+
+### D2.1 Authority (Mos, mos-1015 and mos-1017, through Sage, sage-1362 and sage-1365)
+
+This row adds `role.hire` and `role.fire` to `ACTIONS` (`vocabulary.mjs:11`). Under PRD REQ-WAIT-3 a new
+action is a hard wait until a PRD version says it isn't (`vocabulary.mjs:52-57`), so both ship as hard
+waits. Jason resolves each one. There is no PRD change and no grant in a role file: `role.mjs:42` refuses
+a withinRole that lists a hard wait, and REQ-WAIT-2 forbids it.
+
+The flow in this row:
+
+1. The chief raises a `role.hire` or `role.fire` decision whose body carries the arguments (business,
+   name, definition, vars, or name and reason). A hard wait goes to the human only. No arbiter resolves it.
+2. Jason resolves it in the Console or the CLI.
+3. The chief calls `instance.hire` or `instance.fire` citing the decision. The broker checks it with
+   `#consumeAuthority(s, 'role.hire', { decision, target })`, as the `role.revoke` decision branch does,
+   and the arguments must equal the decision body field by field (N1, webby-0010). For hire that is
+   `name`, `definition` and `vars` (vars compared with `canonicalJson`, absent equal to absent only). For
+   fire it is `name` and `reason`. A key in the call that the body lacks, or a body key the call lacks,
+   refuses `decision-mismatch`. Every check below runs again at this call, so a veto set after the resolve
+   still refuses.
+
+The routed form, where the chief hires and fires without a decision each time, needs a PRD version that
+moves both actions to `ROUTED`. My draft is `agents/honker/work/queue-194/PRD-1.7-DRAFT.md`. It quotes
+TARGET.md line 66 and carries Mos's bounds. Jason approves it as a `prd.approve` decision in the Console,
+and Sage opens that decision. When it lands, a later commit adds the two actions to both `ROUTED` lists
+(`vocabulary.mjs`, `broker.mjs:43-69`) and to `roles/chief-of-staff.json` withinRole. The broker then
+takes the `reason` form instead of a decision. The verbs and every check below stay the same. This row
+builds and tests the hard-wait form only. It writes the `hireable` key and its allowlist now (D2.3), because
+both forms use them.
+
+### D2.2 What the chief may do
+
+| Act | Bus verb | Rule |
+|---|---|---|
+| launch | `launch` (host) | as today: listed instances only |
+| end a run | `role.revoke` + reason | as today, and refused `instance-kept` when the target is kept (D2.4) |
+| hire | `instance.hire { name, definition, vars?, decision }` | adds and lists an instance. Refusals below |
+| fire | `instance.fire { name, reason, decision }` | ends I's runs, cancels I's open requests, and removes I from `launch.instances`. Refusals below |
+
+Only the business's chief, the instance named by `launch.by`, may call either verb. Any other caller
+refuses `role-not-chief`, even with a resolved decision, as `#classification` already limits
+`role.launch`. The broker reads `hireable` from that chief's own role file. Both act only in the chief's
+own business. Neither verb takes a business argument. The broker uses the
+cap's business, and a decision raised in another business refuses `decision-mismatch`. Row 191's switch
+refuses both while halted (D6). Every hire and fire writes `changes.jsonl` through the organization writer
+with actor the chief's instance and run, and the decision id.
+
+Hire refuses, in order:
+
+1. `definition-not-hireable` when the definition holds an action outside `HIRE_ALLOWED` (D2.3), whatever
+   any list says.
+2. `definition-not-hireable` when the definition isn't in the chief role file's `hireable` list, or is in
+   the business's `launch.noHire`.
+3. `organization-definition-refused` for END_PROTECTED, `organization-credentials-out-of-scope` for a
+   credentialed definition (until the credentials row, row 199), `invalid-request` for version 1.
+4. `organization-instance-retired` when the name is retired.
+5. When the name exists: a fired instance (in `roles`, not listed) is listed again only if `definition`
+   equals its current one and `vars` is absent. Any other definition or vars refuses
+   `organization-instance-exists`, and so does a listed name. A re-hire never moves an instance's
+   decisions to a different role (B3).
+
+Hire's `vars` may hold only the keys the chief can already set on an instance through `organization.set`
+(the model key, `broker.mjs:1266-1269`) and narrowing `limits.*` keys. Anything else, such as `harness`
+or a route, refuses `invalid-request`. The human sets those (N3).
+
+Fire refuses `instance-kept` for a kept instance, `organization-definition-refused` for END_PROTECTED,
+`organization-instance-referenced` for `launch.by`, and a BusinessError for the last listed instance. A
+fired instance stays in `roles`. The chief never deletes. Delete stays a human act because it retires the
+name.
+
+Fire ends the fired instance's processes, not only its claims (F4, Megavolt through sage-1374). Every run
+gets the shared model token at start: `ENV_ALLOW` (`packages/seat/src/session.mjs:83-94`) passes
+`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` and the other provider variables into the sandbox. A revoke
+can't take that token back, so a fired agent whose process lives on still holds it.
+
+The delist is a business file commit through the organization writer, and the revoke and events are store
+rows. No transaction covers both (webby-0011 B2), so fire runs in a fixed order, store side first:
+
+A. One store transaction: steps 1 to 3 below, plus `fire.stopped` with the decision id. The decision isn't
+   consumed yet.
+B. The delist through the organization writer (`launch.instances` loses I, logged in `changes.jsonl`).
+C. One store write consuming the decision and recording `fire.done`.
+
+If B or C fails, fire answers the step's code and the decision stays unconsumed. A second fire citing the
+same decision runs again. A finds nothing to revoke, cancel or stop, and that isn't a refusal for fire
+(unlike V3's `not-held`). B finds I already delisted and counts as done. C consumes. So a fire is safe to
+repeat until it's consumed. The other order would leave a delisted agent with a live process and its model
+token when the store step fails, which is the case F4 exists to stop. A halt between A and B doesn't stop
+B or C, because neither starts anything. A second fire while halted refuses (D6), and the halt's own stop
+covers the runs.
+
+Steps 1 to 3 are V3's, with one change:
+
+1. It revokes every claim the instance holds.
+2. It writes `lifecycle.cancelled` for each of the instance's open requests.
+3. It writes `lifecycle.end` with the runs and `kill: true`. The launcher pass stops each runner, spawned
+   but unbound registry runs included, with escalation (sage-1380 item 1):
+   - SIGTERM after the identity check.
+   - After the grace, SIGKILL to any runner still alive, after the same identity check again, and
+     `lifecycle.end.killed` with the run and pid.
+   - A runner still alive after SIGKILL and the observe wait gets `lifecycle.end.alive`. The Console's
+     Agents section shows it to the human.
+   A runner whose identity no longer matches is never signalled. Every check, the recheck after the
+   grace included, uses the identity (start ticks plus boot id), never a bare pid, so a reused pid never
+   counts as the fired run (webby-0011 N2).
+
+Fire's answer lists the runs it is stopping. The delist stops any new chief launch (`launch` takes listed
+instances only). A human launch request already taken is past cancelling, as in V3. The human made it, the
+fire answer names it, and the human's terminate ends its run.
+
+The stop is row 191's per-run stop, not a second one, so the two can't fight (sage-1380 item 1). Row 191's
+design r2 (`agents/rocko/work/queue-191/DESIGN-r2.md`, "Stop policy and completion") sends SIGTERM, waits
+5 s, sends SIGKILL to verified groups and namespaces, and observes for 2 s. Its identity check is start
+ticks plus boot id, which replaces the start-time check at `launcher.mjs:526`. Fire calls that routine for
+one instance's runs and uses its constants, so the grace is row 191's 5 s, not the 10 s in r3. The order:
+
+- Fire is refused while halted (D6), so a halt sweep never meets a fire that started after it.
+- A halt that comes during a fire's stop finds those runs already stopping. Each run has one stop receipt
+  (row 191's), and the first stop owns it. The halt sweep joins it instead of sending a second SIGTERM or
+  restarting the deadline, and counts the run in its remaining or quiescent totals.
+- The record says which stop owned it: reason `fire` with the decision, or row 191's `kill-switch` with
+  its generation.
+
+V3 terminate is unchanged. It still sends SIGTERM only (N6). Only fire escalates, because only a fired
+agent must lose the token at once. If row 191 hasn't landed when this row builds, the build chains on its
+candidate (Q177), as D6 already says.
+
+### D2.3 The hire allowlist (B2, sage-1365 item 4, webby-0010 B1)
+
+r2 and r3 had a deny list, `HIRE_FLOOR`. Webby's B1 showed it missed routed actions (`git.merge.protected`,
+which `roles/merge-gate.json` holds with no credentials, `decision.resolve.technical`, `policy.change`,
+`prd.approve`), and that any action added later would be hireable by default. That isn't fail-closed. r4
+replaces it with an allowlist.
+
+A definition is hireable only if every action in its withinRole and crossRole is on `HIRE_ALLOWED`:
+
+| Allowed action | Held today by |
+|---|---|
+| `message.send`, `record.write` | every v2 role file |
+| `review.request`, `task.update.assigned` | coder, cto, pm, reviewer |
+| `task.scope.change`, `git.push.working` | coder, cto, pm (credentialed, so they matter only after row 199) |
+
+Everything else in `ACTIONS` fails, including the actions of the old floor (`role.launch`, `role.end`,
+`role.revoke`, `organization.change`, `instance.name`, `review.verdict`, `role.hire`, `role.fire`) and those
+B1 named. An action added to `ACTIONS` later fails until a reviewed commit adds it here.
+`git.push.remote` (row 199, routed to coder by PRD 1.7) isn't on the list. A coder holding it stays
+unhireable until a reviewed commit adds it, after the credentials bound is lifted.
+
+Against today's role files: chief-of-staff, cto, merge-gate, pm, reviewer and security-reviewer fail.
+Assistant, researcher, coder and the five C-suite files pass the allowlist. Assistant is END_PROTECTED and
+coder is credentialed, so D2.2 item 3 refuses them. The C-suite files hold only `message.send` and
+`record.write`, so hiring one gives no authority beyond its name. `hireable` still has to list it.
+
+The list is a constant in `business/src/vocabulary.mjs`, `HIRE_ALLOWED`. It is checked twice:
+
+- At load. `role.mjs` validates the chief role file's `hireable` list: distinct definition names, each
+  present in `rolesDir`, version 2, and every action on `HIRE_ALLOWED`. A list naming one that isn't refuses
+  the role file (`hireable names <def>, which holds <action>`). The check reads only the named file's authority lists,
+  never its `hireable`, so a list can't recurse. `hireable` is an optional key on any role file. This is a
+  role schema change, named for review.
+- At hire, in the broker, against the definition as loaded then. A role file edited after load is caught
+  here.
+
+`hireable` in `roles/chief-of-staff.json` stays empty in this row (`[]`, Q4, sage-1374). Naming the first
+role kind is a separate policy commit in `roles/`, made after Jason resolves the `prd.approve` decision, as
+AGENTS.md invariant 7 requires. With an empty list the chief can hire nothing, even with Jason's resolve,
+until that commit. The row's tests use scratch role files whose `hireable` names a kind.
+
+### D2.4 The per-agent forbid and the veto (sage-1365 item 3)
+
+TARGET.md line 66: "Chief of staff agent has hire/fire authority for agents as needed; unless user forbids
+per agent". The forbid is two lists in the business file that only the human writes:
+
+- `launch.keep`: instance names. The chief can't fire, replace or end a kept instance. The broker refuses
+  `instance-kept` for every chief act aimed at it except launch:
+  - `instance.fire`, even with a resolved `role.fire` decision. Mos's limit is that Jason's veto applies
+    to every hire and fire, so the human unkeeps before a fire.
+  - a hire of that name.
+  - `role.revoke` in the reason branch (`broker.mjs:1607-1613`). End then launch is a replace (E6).
+  - an `organization.set` write of that instance's model key (B7). A model change is a replace at the next
+    launch.
+
+  The `role.revoke` decision branch (`broker.mjs:1614-1615`) still ends a kept run. It ends a run, it
+  doesn't fire or replace, and it cites a decision the human resolved (Webby's Q2 ruling). The human's V3
+  and the limits also still end a kept run.
+- `launch.noHire`: definition names the chief can't hire into this business (D2.2 item 2).
+
+Why the chief can't change the forbid:
+
+- Only `veto.set` writes the lists. It is human-only (`#human(s)` then the D4 hook) and refuses the tester.
+- `organization.set`, the chief's one write verb, reaches only `ORGANIZATION_KEYS` (`broker.mjs:145`),
+  which exclude `launch` and `retired`.
+- `instances.set` is human or tester only (`broker.mjs:1248-1298`).
+- Hire and fire carry no field that writes either list.
+
+T18 tests each of those paths from a chief session and checks the business file bytes are unchanged.
+
+END_PROTECTED instances can't be kept (N7). That is intended: Q169 lets the chief end the assistant's
+runs, and the assistant's own stop is `assistant.stop`. Default, per "unless user forbids": nothing is
+kept and nothing is on `noHire`.
+
+### D2.5 Where it lives and how the broker enforces it
+
+The forbid lives in the business file, under `launch`, beside the membership it limits:
+`launch.keep: [instance]`, `launch.noHire: [definition]`, and top-level `retired: [instance]`. `hireable`
+lives in the chief's role file, because it bounds the role, not one business.
+
+`checkLaunch` (`business.mjs:118`) gains the two keys. Each list is distinct. `keep` names declared,
+non-protected instances. `noHire` entries need only the id pattern (N2). A stale deny entry is harmless,
+and a reviewed commit that removes a role file must not stop every business that lists it. `retired`
+names none of `roles`. This is the business-file schema change for review. Old files without the keys load
+unchanged. An old bus loader rejects a file that has them (`rejectUnknownKeys`), so a rollback past this
+row needs the keys removed first. The activation plan has to say so (R4).
+
+The broker enforces from its live copy of the business, which D3 keeps current. The checks sit in the
+`role.revoke` reason branch, in `organization.set`'s model write and in the two chief verbs, before any
+write.
+
+## D3. Live changes
+
+Today the broker's `#businesses` is fixed at start (E3), and `instances.set` answers `restart: true` for
+add and redefine.
+
+1. `Broker.reloadBusiness(id, document)` swaps in one business's validated document. It is synchronous, so
+   no request sees half of it. It refuses an unknown id and a document whose `human` changed (that is row
+   193's ground).
+2. The runtime's organization callback (`runtime.mjs:121-133`) calls it in one place, after every verb
+   that commits a write, whatever the verb (N1). Today that is `limits.set`, `instances.set`, `routes.set`
+   and `plugins.set`, and after this row `veto.set`, `instance.hire`, `instance.fire` and the launcher's
+   delete through the same writer. It loads from the file through the loader `bootConfig` uses
+   (`cli/src/config.mjs:88-105`), so the broker holds exactly what a restart would give it. Then
+   `limits.refresh(id)` runs, as `plugins.set` does now.
+3. Other startup consumers of `businesses` in `startBroker` (`runtime.mjs:75-81`): credential references,
+   usage, the web services and the tasks adapter's bots. A create or hire adds no credentials, no tracker
+   bot and no web grant, because credentialed definitions are refused. The build checks each consumer
+   against that claim. Any change that would need one of them still answers `restart: true` and doesn't
+   reload.
+4. A definition change on a running instance refuses `instance-running`. A live cap must not change
+   authority under its run. This is new: today the change waits for the restart. Existing tests that pin
+   `restart: true` change with it (N4): `business/tests/instance-settings.test.mjs`,
+   `bus/tests/instances-verb.test.mjs`, `cli/tests/instances.test.mjs:76-94` (the `RESTART_NEEDED` text and
+   the restart line) and `webui/tests/instances.test.mjs:25, 71, 74, 140-145`. The build names each
+   changed assertion in its manifest.
+5. The chief's `launch` tool (E5) takes `instance` as a string with the id pattern instead of the start-time
+   enum. Its description says the host refuses an unlisted instance. `check()` already refuses one
+   (`launcher.mjs:235`). Without this, the chief can't launch its own hire until its session restarts.
+   `tools.mjs` may carry hash pins in tests. The build greps for them (R5).
+6. Hand edits of the business file still need a restart. Nothing watches the file. The one exception is
+   `bus.tester` (D4.1), read from the file at each tester call.
+
+After this, `restart` is false for create, delete, hire, fire and veto changes, and true only under item 3.
+
+## D4. RBAC until row 193
+
+Every human verb above calls `#human(s)` and then one hook, `#mayHuman(s, verb, target)`. Until row 193
+lands, the hook passes for the business's one `human`, which is the owner. The verbs are listed once, in
+an exported `LIFECYCLE_HUMAN_VERBS` (`instance.launch`, `instance.end`, `instance.regenerate`, `veto.set`,
+and `instances.set` ops `add`, `change`, `delete`), so row 193 maps each verb to the human roles that may
+use it. Row 193 replaces the hook body and nothing else.
+
+### D4.1 The tester (Sage, sage-1355)
+
+What the tester may do after this row:
+
+| Verb | Tester |
+|---|---|
+| `instance.launch`, `instance.end` | yes, new |
+| `instances.set` ops `add`, `change` | yes, as today (row 175, `broker.mjs:103`, `serve.mjs:537`) |
+| `instances.set` op `delete` | no, `tester-refused` in the broker (B6) |
+| `instance.regenerate`, `veto.set` | no, `tester-refused` |
+
+The tester's cap is bound to one business, and only when that business sets `bus.tester` to true
+(`broker.mjs:542-546`). That stays Jason's switch, and no bus verb writes it. Two checks run on each tester
+lifecycle call, before any effect, and again at the take (D1.1):
+
+1. The request's business is the cap's business. Any other refuses `tester-refused`.
+2. `bus.tester` is exactly true in the business file as it stands, read through `settings.current(id)` as
+   `harnessOn` does (`runtime.mjs:136-142`), not from the broker's copy (B8). An unreadable file refuses
+   `tester-off`. So a hand edit turning testing off counts at the next tester call, without a restart.
+
+The request and done events record actor `tester`. The tester's Q173 tests of the Agents section then cover
+launch and terminate on a scratch business, and the rest through fixtures.
+
+## D5. One stack instance
+
+Row 190 carries the stack instance as the config `MOSAIC_CONFIG` names. These verbs take no instance name.
+The CLI reaches the broker socket under that config's `dataRoot`. The broker acts on its own businesses,
+launcher and data root. A business id that exists in two stack instances is two separate businesses. A test
+runs two scratch roots with the same business id and shows a launch, a terminate and a delete in one leave
+the other byte-identical (T11).
+
+## D6. The kill switch
+
+- Launch and regenerate end in `start()`, which row 191 gates (its D3 inventory, `launcher.mjs:329-457`).
+  The new pass adds no second start path.
+- The broker refuses `instance.launch` and `instance.regenerate` with `processing-halted` while the switch
+  is on (V2 step 1), and the take checks again (D1.1), so no request is waiting when a human resumes.
+- `instance.hire` and `instance.fire` are agent work verbs, so row 191's default refuses them while halted.
+  The build adds them to row 191's work table, not its read list. A hire Jason resolved before a halt
+  still refuses while halted, and the chief calls it again after the resume.
+- Terminate, create, delete and veto start nothing and stay allowed.
+- If row 191 hasn't landed when this row builds, the build chains on its candidate (Q177). The two halted
+  checks are written against its reader and tested with its fixture.
+
+## D7. The Console
+
+A new Settings section, "Agents", in its own `agents.js` file. Settings itself isn't rewritten. It lists
+each instance with definition, listed, kept, retired and running runs, and flags a run with a
+`lifecycle.end.alive` event as "still running after fire" (D2.2). It has these actions:
+
+- Create (definition select, from `definitions`), Delete (with a confirm naming what stays: the evidence
+  and the workspace under `.retired`).
+- Launch, Terminate (with an optional reason), Regenerate (with a confirm).
+- Keep and Unkeep per instance, and a No-hire toggle per definition.
+
+The routes are `POST /api/instances` (op `delete` joins `add` and `change`), `POST /api/agent/launch`,
+`/api/agent/terminate`, `/api/agent/regenerate` and `POST /api/veto`. Each uses `instanceSend`'s boundary:
+signed-in user, exact Origin, same-origin Fetch Metadata, JSON within 16 KiB, strict keys, one bus call
+through the human transport, and `outcome-unknown` on an unexpected answer. Launch and regenerate show the
+request, then poll `GET /api/agent/request?id=` until it closes.
+
+`agents.js` joins the static file list (`serve.mjs:28`) and `index.html` (N5).
+
+When `/api/config` says `send` is false, every action button shows as unavailable with the text "Agent
+actions are unavailable here. Use mosaic business instance from the instance CLI." This is the live state
+until Q175 phase 2. Every write test uses a fixture server and fixture writers, as rows 165 and 191 do. No
+route gets a `--send` exception.
+
+## D8. Tests
+
+Every test uses scratch roots under `TMPDIR` and the existing fixtures (`business/tests/helpers.mjs`,
+`cli/tests/helpers.mjs`, `webui/tests/tester-fixture.mjs`). None touches `~/.mosaic-dev`,
+`~/.config/mosaic-dev`, a live unit or a slot file.
+
+| Test | Shows | File |
+|---|---|---|
+| T1 | V1 create on a running bus: a launch of the new instance binds with no restart, and the answer says `restart: false` | cli `instances.test.mjs` |
+| T2 | V2: a human launch of an unlisted instance runs. `launch.by` goes through the `pm` branch (N8). A thread instance, a retired one and a revoked business refuse at the verb. A request older than 60 s never launches. A refused `check()` closes the request with its code | cli `lifecycle.test.mjs` (new) |
+| T2a | Take: a `launch.revoke` between the request and the pass closes it `launch-revoked` with no process. A `lifecycleDone` that throws once leaves the request taken, and the next tick starts nothing. A taken request is never taken twice | same |
+| T3 | V2 with `--no-launch` and with each limit refusal: no process, request closed with the code | same |
+| T4 | V3: claims revoked, runner SIGTERMed after the start-time check, one end record. A mismatched start time sends no signal. An open request is cancelled and never starts. A spawned, unbound run in the registry is signalled | same |
+| T5 | V4: the new run starts only after the old exit, with a new run dir and the same workspace. A run that ignores SIGTERM closes the request `regenerate-timeout` with nothing started. The assistant refuses `regenerate-thread` | same |
+| T6 | V5: each refusal in the V5 table, in order, including `instance-starting` with an open request. A clean delete leaves the evidence bytes unchanged, commits the file before the rename, adds `retired`, and a create or hire of the same name refuses. A failed rename closes `workspace-rename-failed`, `check()` refuses the name, and a second delete renames only | business `instance-settings.test.mjs` and cli `lifecycle.test.mjs` |
+| T7 | V6: each op, the no-op refusal, an unknown `noHire` name accepted, and a `changes.jsonl` entry with actor `human` | business |
+| T8 | Chief hire (hard-wait form): no decision refuses. A decision raised by the chief goes to the human only, no arbiter. After the resolve, the hire adds and lists the instance, logs actor and decision, and the same chief session launches it (D3 item 5). Arguments that differ from the decision body refuse. A non-chief caller with a resolved decision refuses `role-not-chief`. Outside `hireable`, in `noHire`, credentialed, END_PROTECTED, retired, and extra vars each refuse | bus `chief-of-staff.test.mjs` |
+| T8a | Re-hire (B3): a fired name with the same definition and no vars is listed again. Another definition or vars refuses `organization-instance-exists` | same |
+| T8b | Hire allowlist (D2.3): one case per action in `ACTIONS` that is neither on `HIRE_ALLOWED` nor a hard wait (`role.mjs` already refuses those), looped from the lists, not typed by hand. A fixture definition, clean when the chief's role file loads and listed in `hireable`, is rewritten to hold that action before the hire. The hire refuses `definition-not-hireable`. A definition holding one allowed and one refused action refuses. One holding only allowed actions hires. A pin test fixes `HIRE_ALLOWED` to the six actions | same |
+| T8c | Allowlist at load: a role file whose `hireable` names a definition holding each refused action refuses at `loadRole`, one case per action, looped the same way. The mixed case refuses. A clean list loads. A missing, version 1 or duplicate name refuses | business `role.test.mjs` |
+| T9 | Chief fire: runs end, open requests cancelled, delisted, still in `roles`. Kept (even with a resolved decision), END_PROTECTED, `launch.by` and last-listed refuse | bus `chief-of-staff.test.mjs` |
+| T9a | Fire ends processes (F4, sage-1380 item 1): with a bound run and a spawned but unbound registry run of I, both fixture runners holding a stand-in model variable, fire answers both runs. After the launcher pass, neither runner pid is alive and I holds no claim. A fixture runner that ignores SIGTERM gets SIGKILL after the grace, is gone, and has `lifecycle.end.killed` with its run and pid. A stand-in whose kill is stubbed to fail gets `lifecycle.end.alive`. A runner whose identity changed before the SIGTERM, or between SIGTERM and SIGKILL, gets no signal. V3 terminate of a SIGTERM-ignoring runner sends no SIGKILL | cli `launcher.test.mjs` |
+| T9b | Fire and row 191's halt: a halt during a fire's stop sends no second SIGTERM, keeps the fire's deadline, writes one stop receipt with reason `fire` and the decision, and counts the run in its totals. A fire while halted refuses (D6) | cli `launcher.test.mjs`, on row 191's fixture |
+| T9c | Fire order (webby-0011 B2): the organization writer stubbed to fail after A commits. Fire answers the writer's code, I's claims are revoked and its runs stopped, I is still listed, and the decision is unconsumed. A second fire citing the same decision delists I and consumes it. A third fire refuses `decision-consumed`. With C stubbed to fail, the second fire finds I delisted and only consumes | bus `chief-of-staff.test.mjs` |
+| T10 | Keep: chief `role.revoke` with a reason, fire, hire of that name and an `organization.set` model write aimed at a kept instance each refuse `instance-kept`. A `role.revoke` citing a human-resolved decision ends the kept run (Q2). The human's V3 works | same |
+| T11 | Two scratch stack instances with the same business id: V2, V3 and V5 in A leave B's root and config byte-identical. A chief of business A can't hire into business B on the same bus | cli `lifecycle.test.mjs`, bus |
+| T12 | Agent and reader sessions refuse every human verb before any effect. The tester gets exactly the D4.1 table, including `tester-refused` for `instances.set` op `delete` (B6). The D4 hook is called with the verb | bus `instances-verb.test.mjs` |
+| T12a | Tester launch and terminate work on the cap's business with `bus.tester` true, record actor `tester`, and refuse `tester-refused` for a second business on the same bus. A file edit setting `bus.tester` to false, with no restart, refuses the next call and the take `tester-off`. An unreadable file refuses `tester-off` | bus `instances-verb.test.mjs` |
+| T13 | `organization.set` with `launch`, `retired`, `keep` or `noHire` keys refuses | bus |
+| T14 | Live reload: after each committed verb, `plugins.set` and `routes.set` included, the broker answers from the new document. A definition change on a running instance refuses `instance-running` | bus |
+| T15 | Kill switch (with row 191's fixture): launch and regenerate refuse `processing-halted` at the verb and at the take, hire and fire refuse, terminate works | bus and cli |
+| T16 | Console: each route's boundary refusals, a fixture write per action, `outcome-unknown` on a bad shape, unavailable buttons when `send` is false, request polling, and `agents.js` served from the static list | webui `agents.test.mjs` (new) |
+| T17 | Business file: the new keys validate, each bad entry refuses, and a file without them loads byte for byte as before | business `business.test.mjs` |
+| T18 | The forbid can't be changed by the chief (D2.4): from a chief session, `veto.set`, `organization.set` with each list key, `instances.set`, and hire and fire with extra fields all refuse, and the business file bytes are unchanged | bus `chief-of-staff.test.mjs` |
+
+### Mutants
+
+Each one must fail at least one test. They run against the candidate, and the file is restored and its
+sha256 checked after each one.

+| M51 | fire's stop drops the SIGKILL escalation | T9a |
+| M52 | SIGKILL is sent without the second identity check | T9a |

+## Scope and boundaries
+
+- In the row: the verbs and passes above in `business` (vocabulary, role validation, instance-settings,
+  business validation), `bus` (broker verbs, reload, runtime callback), `cli` (instances command, launcher
+  pass, host ops), `harness` (the launch tool's schema, and the hire and fire tools), `webui` (routes and
+  the Agents section), the tests, the package READMEs and the PRD draft in this packet. `docs/TOOLS.md`
+  text goes to Sage.
+- Named for review:
+  - Vocabulary: `role.hire` and `role.fire` join `ACTIONS` as hard waits, under REQ-WAIT-3. The commit
+    message names them as hard waits, as REQ-WAIT-3 requires.
+  - Role schema: the optional `hireable` key, validated in `role.mjs` (D2.3).
+  - Role file: `roles/chief-of-staff.json` gains `"hireable": []`. No authority change.
+  - Business file schema: `launch.keep`, `launch.noHire`, `retired` (D2.5).
+- Not in the row: the routed form (after PRD 1.7), filling `hireable`, credentialed hires and deletes (row
+  199), clear context for the assistant (T1 item 7), human roles (row 193), SIGKILL escalation, and any
+  live activation or Console start.
+
+## Risks
+
+- R1. Case 1's working roles (coder, reviewer, pm, cto) all declare credentials (E11), and pm, cto and
+  reviewer fail the hire allowlist anyway. Neither the human verb nor the chief can create or delete credentialed
+  roles until the credentials row (row 199). That is the largest gap against Case 1, and it isn't this
+  row's to close.
+- R2. The human proof is path-bound and same-uid (P19 333). Any same-uid process that runs the tree's
+  `human-cli.mjs` can launch and delete. Row 190b's separate uid and row 193 narrow it. This row adds no
+  check of its own.
+- R3. The 60 s request window means a slow `check()` (checkouts) can still start a run up to that point
+  after the CLI gave up. The CLI says so on timeout.
+- R4. Rollback past this row needs `keep`, `noHire` and `retired` removed from each business file, and
+  `hireable` from the role file, or the old loaders refuse them. The activation plan states this.
+- R5. `tools.mjs`, `serve.mjs`, `broker.mjs`, `vocabulary.mjs` and `role.mjs` may carry sha256 pins in
+  other packages' tests. The build greps the tests for every changed path plus a 64-hex value before
+  in-review, without a `head`.
+- R6. With `hireable` empty, the chief can hire nothing until the policy commit in `roles/` that follows
+  the `prd.approve` resolve names a kind (Q4). Case 1's "as needed" waits on that commit and on PRD 1.7.
+- R7. Fire's SIGKILL closes the SIGTERM-ignoring case (sage-1380). A runner still alive after SIGKILL
+  (an unkillable process, or a stop whose identity check fails) keeps the shared model token until the
+  human acts on `lifecycle.end.alive`. Only a per-agent model token (row 199 Q-M4, a later proxy row)
+  would let a fire revoke the token itself.
+
+## Questions and rulings
+
+- Q1, ruled by Mos (mos-1015, mos-1017, through sage-1365): `role.hire` and `role.fire` ship as hard
+  waits Jason resolves. The routed form needs PRD 1.7, drafted in `PRD-1.7-DRAFT.md`. D2.1.
+- Q2, ruled by Webby (webby-0003): keep blocks the chief's `role.revoke` reason branch, not its decision
+  branch. D2.4.
+- Q3, ruled by Sage (sage-1355): launch and terminate are tester verbs scoped to the tester's own
+  business, behind `bus.tester`. D4.1.
+- Q4, ruled by Sage (sage-1374): `hireable` stays empty in this row. Naming the first role kind is a
+  separate policy commit in `roles/` after Jason resolves the `prd.approve` decision. Tests use scratch role
+  files that name a kind. D2.3.

+# PRD 1.8 draft: trusted actions within role guardrails, the manual mode, and grants the chief of staff
+# requests and the user approves
+
+Draft by Honker for Vikunja #434, under Mos's assignment mos-1117 (through Sage, sage-1525). Not approved.
+It changes nothing until Jason approves it as a `prd.approve` decision. Sage opens that decision and sends
+Mos its id. Base: `docs/prd/mosaic-stack.md` version 1.6 at 008746b6e, plus the version 1.7 text Jason
+approved (PRD-1.7-DRAFT.md r2, 9ba31b5b3, decision d52febb5, mos-1089). Where 1.7 is not yet written into
+the PRD file, this draft's anchors name 1.7's sections.
+
+Revision 2 makes Mos's edits a to f (mos-1124, through Sage, sage-1534) and fixes Duckworth's B1 and B2
+with notes N1 to N6 (duckworth-0057) on r1 at 3c30f1036. Revision 3 fixes Duckworth's C1 and takes
+notes N1 and N2 (duckworth-0058) on r2 at 60f5ca8fa, with Gizmoduck's enrollment wording
+(gizmoduck-0067). Revision 4 makes Mos's rulings on duckworth-0057 (mos-1129, through Sage, sage-1538)
+on r3 at d16ccdb91: only an Approve creates a grant, one decision for a grant that makes an account, and
+the arbiter route for `host.sudo`. Revision 5 fixes two stale notes from Duckworth's r4 check
+(duckworth-0061 N1), with no change to the requirement text. Revision 6 makes Mos's wording for those
+notes and adds two items for Jason at approval (mos-1138, through Sage, sage-1548), again with no change
+to the requirement text.
+
+For Jason at approval: "The main agent or chief of staff" in Q10 is read as one role under two names,
+the chief of staff. So only the chief raises a grant request, and your assistant passes your own request
+to the chief. That reading is Mos's (mos-1124). To change it, say so when you approve, and REQ-GRANT-1
+changes before the text goes into the PRD.
+
+Also for Jason at approval:
+
+- Only an Approve creates a grant. A grant written into the business file by hand makes nothing. An agent
+  that runs as the same OS user as the stack can still write the stack's own store. That is the B7
+  residual (Q182 on dragon-lin, #423 on .53 and .54), and this version doesn't close it.
+- Who decides a root command on another host changes. Once `host.sudo` is routed, a raise for it that
+  cites the spec and isn't within-role goes to the arbiter for its domain, as version 1.7 set for
+  `git.push.remote`, not to you. The grant and its allowlist still limit the command. In manual mode the
+  decision comes to you (REQ-TRUST-2).
+- Revoke: Q188 says "you, Mos or the tester". "Mos" is read as your assistant (REQ-ROLE-4), limited to
+  grants in its own organization, and the tester may revoke only on a dev instance. That reading is Mos's
+  (mos-1124 d, mos-1132). To change it, say so when you approve, and REQ-GRANT-4 changes before the text
+  goes into the PRD.
+- The broker enforces only that the chief of staff raised a grant request. The rest of the chain of
+  command is the messaging lists and the role contracts, not a broker check (REQ-GRANT-1).
+
+## What it changes
+
+Today an agent acts without a raise only on actions its role file grants within-role, and the role
+files grant few. Every other use of a tool or command waits on a decision. Row 210 builds `host.sudo` as a
+hard wait, so Jason would decide each command run on another machine. Grants themselves are hand work:
+Jason makes every token and key from a runbook (REQ-CRED-1).
+
+Jason's ruling Q188 turns this around. Roles set what each agent may do, and by default agents do it at
+will within their sandbox and guardrails. A per-use raise happens only in a manual mode. No agent creates
+a grant. The chief of staff brings a grant request to the user's inbox, the user clicks Approve or Deny, and
+protected stack code does every step of making the grant. The user's own tokens are entered once in the
+WebUI and never reach an agent.
+
+This version adds:
+
+1. Trusted actions within role guardrails as the default mode (REQ-TRUST-1).
+2. Manual mode, a list of actions that each need a decision per use: who sets it, where it lives and what
+   it changes (REQ-TRUST-2).
+3. Grant requests, raised only by the chief of staff through the chain of command (REQ-GRANT-1).
+4. Approve and the protected grant code, with three grant methods: machine key, Gitea and GitHub
+   (REQ-GRANT-2).
+5. The user's tokens, entered in the WebUI and used only by the grant code (REQ-GRANT-3).
+6. Row 210's REQ-CRED-4, generalized from `host.sudo` to every role-listed action that uses a grant
+   (REQ-CRED-4).
+7. Instant revoke (REQ-GRANT-4).
+
+The hard waits stay with the user (Mos, mos-1117): spending money, deleting data, new external accounts,
+messages outside the fleet and the rest of REQ-WAIT-1. Approving a grant is the user resolving one of
+those hard waits, `credential.mint`. A grant that makes an account, such as a seat's own Gitea user
+(Q190), is the same one decision: its method says it makes an account, and the inbox shows the account
+name before Approve. So no hard wait moves to an agent.
+
+When this version lands, reviewed commits:
+
+1. add the manual-mode list to the organization file schema, written only on the human's path
+   (REQ-TRUST-2), and make the broker classify a listed action as needing a decision for each use, before
+   any other routing.
+2. add the grant request: a decision the chief of staff raises with action `credential.mint`, naming the
+   agent, the method and target, the exact rights and, when the method makes an account, the account
+   name (REQ-GRANT-1). The broker refuses a `credential.mint` raise from any other role. An
+   `account.create` raise isn't a grant request and routes as it does in version 1.7, such as a PM's
+   sign-up for a service.
+3. add the grant code that runs on a resolved Approve, one method at a time, and the grant record it
+   writes (REQ-GRANT-2, Vikunja #435 and #436).
+4. add the user's token store, written from the WebUI (or the CLI until the Console knows the signed-in
+   human) and read only by the grant code (REQ-GRANT-3).
+5. move `host.sudo` into both `ROUTED` lists, as row 199 does for `git.push.remote`, and route it under
+   REQ-CRED-4, with the arbiter route version 1.7 set for `git.push.remote`. Which definitions list it
+   within-role is a separate reviewed role commit in `roles/`.
+6. update the role contracts that list the hard waits: `roles/chief-of-staff.md:75` raises grant
+   requests with the REQ-GRANT-1 fields, and `roles/pm.md:55` asks the chief of staff for a grant instead
+   of raising `credential.mint` itself (line numbers on origin/refactor). Other roles that list the hard
+   waits get the same line as the PM. A role's messaging list carries the chain of command.

+
+> Version 1.8 records Jason's ruling Q188 of 2026-10-20: trusted actions within role guardrails by
+> default, a manual mode for per-use raises, and grants the chief of staff requests and the user
+> approves, approved by Jason in decision <prd.approve decision id>.
+
+Source, two new bullets above "Version 1.7 source":
+
+> - Version 1.8 source, Jason's ruling Q188 (DECISIONS, 2026-10-20), his answers to Q8 and Q10, in part.
+>   Q8: "I would rather grant the grant right to an agent that runs with strict guardrails. That agent
+>   presents the final authorization for the user. Upon approval, the grant is created programmatically.
+>   I see this as: User configures their PATs, API tokens, authorizations within the WebUI. The agent
+>   presents the request for grant with X rights for another agent. The user reviews, then clicks
+>   Approve/Deny. Click of Approve fires off protected mechanical methods to handle the grants on Github,
+>   Gitea, .... services as needed. The tooling would need to exist and must be guarded." And "Disallowing
+>   the agents to create grants autonomously is a necessary evil for better security. Requiring the user
+>   to manually perform the steps is a no-fly." Q10: "Agents should have tools and command access based on
+>   roles. Those roles dictate the allowed tools and commands. The use of a tool or command should not be
+>   raised to the user unless the system is configured with a manual mode that requires user
+>   interaction. By default I want to have the agents capable of running commands and tools at will
+>   within their sandbox/guardrails. This allows autonomous actions by agents within their lanes. Perhaps
+>   a "Trusted actions within approved guardrails" methodology." And "The main agent or chief of staff
+>   would be responsible for surfacing the request to the user's inbox for approval. Not all agents are
+>   capable or authorized to request directly. It must follow the chain of command properly." He agreed
+>   with Mos's Q10 points 3 to 6: protected stack code does every step on Approve, his tokens are entered
+>   in the WebUI and agents never see them, a command on the approved list runs without a click and any
+>   other is refused, and he, Mos or the tester can revoke a grant at once.
+> - Version 1.8 source, Jason's ruling Q190 (DECISIONS, 2026-10-20), his answer "Q12: O1": each agent seat
+>   gets its own account on his Gitea, created through the Q188 approval path once the Gitea grants exist.
+
+Under "Decisions", after REQ-DEC-6, a new section:
+
+> ### Trusted actions
+>
+> Added in version 1.8 (Q188).
+>
+> - **REQ-TRUST-1.** Agents act within their role guardrails without asking. The default mode is
+>   "trusted actions within approved guardrails". An action a role file grants within-role is done at
+>   will, inside the agent's sandbox, its tool limit and its grants, and is logged. It raises nothing to
+>   the user. An action the file doesn't grant within-role still routes by REQ-DEC-2, and a hard wait
+>   still goes to the user (REQ-WAIT-1). Only a reviewed role change adds an action to a role file, and
+>   REQ-WAIT-2 still keeps every hard wait out of every role file.
+> - **REQ-TRUST-2.** The user can put chosen actions in manual mode. The organization file holds the list
+>   of actions in manual mode, empty by default. While an action is on the list, every use of it by any
+>   role becomes a decision for that use, raised to the user, and the action waits until the user
+>   resolves it. A decision denied, or not resolved, refuses the action. Each decision is used once. For a
+>   command on another host, the decision names the host, the command and its input. Actions not on the
+>   list are unchanged. Only the user changes the list, through the WebUI or the CLI. The chief of
+>   staff's organization writes (REQ-ROLE-3) can't change it, and no agent can. Every change is logged
+>   with who made it. A change applies to the next use, and a run already in progress keeps no
+>   exemption.
+
+Under "Credentials", after REQ-CRED-3 (version 1.7):
+
+> Added in version 1.8 (Q188):
+>
+> - **REQ-CRED-4.** An action a role definition lists within-role, and that uses a grant, runs without a
+>   decision for each use only when all of these hold:
+>   - the definition declares the credential kind the action uses;
+>   - a grant names that agent, and that host or service;
+>   - for a command, the command matches the grant's allowlist. A grant lists exact argv prefixes. A
+>     wildcard grant is refused;
+>   - the agent's key or token for that grant is issued and not revoked.
+>
+>   A command off the allowlist is refused, and adding one takes a new grant request (REQ-GRANT-1). An
+>   action whose definition doesn't list it within-role still needs a decision for each use. Only a
+>   reviewed role change adds an action to a definition. `host.sudo` routes under this requirement.
+> - **REQ-GRANT-1.** No agent creates or writes a grant. A grant request follows the chain of command,
+>   and only the chief of staff raises it to the user's inbox. Any other role that needs a grant for
+>   itself or for an agent it directs asks the chief of staff, through its chain: a worker role through its
+>   PM, the PM and the CTO directly. The assistant passes the user's own request to the chief of staff
+>   (REQ-ASSIST-1). The request names the agent, the grant method and its target, the exact rights, and a
+>   rotate-by or expiry date. The chief raises one only for an agent whose reviewed role definition
+>   allows that kind of credential, and the broker refuses any other. A grant can't name a wildcard, a
+>   shell or an empty command. The request is a decision with the action `credential.mint`, so it goes
+>   to the user as a hard wait (REQ-WAIT-1). A grant whose method makes an account, such as a seat's own
+>   Gitea user (Q190), is the same one decision: the method in the grant says it makes an account, the
+>   request names the account, and the inbox shows the account name before Approve. The user's one
+>   resolution covers the account and its credential, so the hard-waits list doesn't change. An
+>   `account.create` raise isn't a grant request and routes as version 1.7 has it. The broker checks
+>   only that the chief of staff raised the request. The chain of command before that is in the
+>   messaging lists and the role contracts, not a broker check.
+> - **REQ-GRANT-2.** The user approves or denies each grant request in the inbox. Approve is the only thing
+>   that creates a grant, and the code uses a grant only when it has a matching Approve record. No agent
+>   creates a grant. A grant written into the business file by hand makes nothing. Row 210's hand-written
+>   grants stay a test path until Vikunja #436a moves `host.run` to grants made by Approve. On Approve,
+>   protected stack code does every step, not an agent and not the user: it records the grant, makes the
+>   key or token, installs it on the machine or creates it on the service, and logs each step. On Deny
+>   nothing is made, and the denial is logged. The grant methods are:
+>   - machine key: a key for one agent on one enrolled host, with the command allowlist of REQ-CRED-4. A
+>     host's identity comes from the host side when the user approves its enrollment, never from a first
+>     connection. A host user with sudo receives a grant only after the user approved that user by name;
+>   - Gitea: a token for one agent, and for an agent seat its own Gitea user (Q190), with an expiry. The
+>     all scope and the admin scope are never granted;
+>   - GitHub: a grant for one agent.
+>
+>   The Gitea and GitHub rights units come in a later design that Jason approves.
+>
+>   The approval binds the exact rights the user saw and the target or its enrolled identity. A change to
+>   the agent, its definition, the target, the target's identity or the rights after the raise voids it. An
+>   approval is used once. A grant the code couldn't finish is undone at once on the stack's side, so it
+>   is never used. What it left on the host or service stays visible as pending until it is removed, as
+>   for a revoke (REQ-GRANT-4). A new grant needs a new approval, never an automatic retry. The grant
+>   code runs only on a request the user resolved. A request resolved by an arbiter, the tester or any
+>   agent makes nothing. A `credential.mint` decision raised before version 1.8, or without the fields of
+>   REQ-GRANT-1, makes nothing when it is approved. Until the Console
+>   knows the signed-in human (Vikunja #412), Approve is `mosaic decide` in the CLI (REQ-DEC-3).
+> - **REQ-GRANT-3.** The user enters their own personal access tokens and API tokens in the WebUI, or the
+>   CLI. Only the grant code reads them, to make grants. No agent ever sees a token value or a key's
+>   private half. Values appear in no event, log, message, prompt or agent file, and no agent can read
+>   them back (REQ-VAR-2). Until the Console knows the signed-in human, they are entered through the
+>   CLI.
+> - **REQ-GRANT-4.** A grant can be revoked at once by the user, by the assistant for a grant in its own
+>   organization, or by the tester on a dev instance (Q173). A revoke needs no decision and no new trust.
+>   It takes effect at once on the stack's side, without waiting on the network, so the next use is
+>   refused. Removing the key or token at the host or service follows. Until that removal is done it stays
+>   visible as pending. A revoke while the grant is being made stops it, and nothing it made stays usable.
+>   Every revoke is logged with who made it.
+
+REQ-CRED-1, appended:
+
+> Since version 1.8, a token or key for a grant is made by the grant code on the user's Approve
+> (REQ-GRANT-2), not by hand. Tokens that exist stay as they are.
+
+REQ-WAIT-3, appended:
+
+> `host.sudo` was added as a hard wait and routes under REQ-CRED-4 since version 1.8.
+
+Under "Risks and open questions", a new bullet:
+
+> - Trusted mode lets an agent run its allowed commands at will. On another host, an allowed command that
+>   writes a file as root or starts a shell can plant a key, and the seat sandbox doesn't confine the
+>   network, so root can outlive the grant and a revoke. The allowlist narrows this. A seat sandbox with
+>   its own network namespace closes it. Until then the host's own audit log is the check after the fact
+>   (row 210 design section 6).
+
+## Notes for the reviewer and for Mos
+
+- REQ-TRUST-1 restates what REQ-DEC-2 already does for within-role actions ("routine and within-role
+  decisions are logged") and names it as the default mode. It grants nothing new by itself. What widens
+  is the role files, one reviewed commit at a time.
+- The hard waits stay with the user (mos-1117). REQ-GRANT-1 makes the grant request a `credential.mint`
+  decision, already a hard wait under REQ-WAIT-1, so Approve is the user resolving it. REQ-WAIT-2 stands:
+  no role file grants `credential.mint`. The grant code acts on the user's resolution, not on a role
+  grant. A grant that makes an account, such as a seat's Gitea user under Q190, is the same one
+  `credential.mint` decision. So 1.8 doesn't change the hard-waits list (mos-1124 a, mos-1129 N4).
+- Manual mode: Sage asked who sets it, where it lives and what it changes. Mos accepted these choices
+  (mos-1124 b), and Jason can change them: a list of actions in the organization file, empty by
+  default, changed only by the user, outside the chief's organization writes. A list rather than one
+  switch follows Gizmoduck's #436 draft section 7 (gizmoduck/machine-grant-design f6b6a04b6), so Jason
+  can make host commands manual without making every action manual. Listing every within-role action
+  gives the whole-organization manual mode. Row 210's per-call `host.run` decision, bound to host, argv
+  and stdin and spent once, is this mode's decision for a host command (Q188, Mos's reading).
+- Gizmoduck's draft proposes REQ-CRED-5 (section 8) for the machine grant. Its content is in REQ-GRANT-1
+  to REQ-GRANT-4 here, generalized to all three methods, so 1.8 has no REQ-CRED-5. Their bounds in
+  gizmoduck-0062 items 4a to 4g are in the text: the chief raises only for an allowed definition, the
+  approval binds the rights shown, it is used once with no automatic retry, no value is ever seen, revoke
+  is at once on the stack's side with the host or service removal visible until done, every grant has a
+  rotate-by or expiry date, and the host identity comes from the host side. Duckworth has reviewed their
+  design r1 to r4 (duckworth-0056 and duckworth-0060), so a later change there may need a change here.
+- B1 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): a grant the code couldn't finish is undone at once on the stack's side.
+  What it left on the host or service stays visible as pending until it is removed, as for a revoke.
+- B2 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): Mos chose Duckworth's second option. Only an Approve creates a grant,
+  and the code uses a grant only when it has a matching Approve record. A grant written by hand makes
+  nothing. Jason's Q188 gives the reason: "Disallowing the agents to create grants autonomously is a
+  necessary evil for better security" and "Upon approval, the grant is created programmatically." Row
+  210's hand-written grants stay a test path until #436a moves `host.run` to grants made by Approve. r2
+  and r3 had a hand path in the business file, and r4 takes it out, with r3's load check on hand grants
+  (duckworth-0058 N1) and the note that a revoke never rewrites the user's file (duckworth-0058 N2).
+  The same-uid write to the stack's own store stays the B7 residual, and the top of this draft names it
+  for Jason.
+- C1 (duckworth-0058, sage-1538): `account.create` is the hard wait for any new external account, not
+  only a grant (REQ-WAIT-1, `vocabulary.mjs:43-46`, `roles/pm.md:55`). It stays as version 1.7 has it.
+  Only `credential.mint` is chief-only, and a grant that makes an account is a `credential.mint`
+  decision (N4), so a PM's sign-up for a service routes as before.
+- Gizmoduck's machine-grant r2 (eb4c756a1, gizmoduck-0067): enrollment is a request the user approves
+  and the stack runs (mos-1120), and a host user with sudo is enrolled by name, the user's Approve
+  covering that user (mos-1125). REQ-GRANT-2's machine key says both. Their design r3 and r4 (1c5705d6d
+  section 6) give revoke to the user, the assistant in its own organization and the tester on a dev
+  instance, as REQ-GRANT-4 does (mos-1124 d).
+- N1 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): the approval binds the target or its enrolled identity.
+- N2 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): a revoke during creation stops it, and nothing it made stays usable.
+- N3 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): landing step 6 lists the role contract updates (`roles/pm.md:55`,
+  `roles/chief-of-staff.md:75`). A `credential.mint` decision raised before 1.8, or one without the
+  grant fields, makes nothing when it is approved.
+- N4 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): a decision carries one action (`a.action`, broker.mjs:1678 on
+  origin/refactor). A grant that makes an account is one `credential.mint` decision: the method in the
+  grant says it makes an account, and the inbox shows the account name before Approve. The user clicks
+  once, and there is no separate `account.create` action for it. Gizmoduck's machine-grant r2 reads it
+  the same way.
+- N5 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): `host.sudo` keeps the arbiter route version 1.7 set for
+  `git.push.remote`. A raise for it that cites the spec and isn't within-role goes to the arbiter for
+  its domain (broker.mjs:1677-1678 on origin/refactor), and the grant and its allowlist still limit the
+  command. In manual mode the decision goes to the user. The top of this draft names this for Jason as a
+  change in who decides a root command on another host.
+- N6 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): the broker enforces only that the chief of staff raised a grant request.
+  The rest of the chain of command is the messaging lists and the role contracts (step 6 of "When this
+  version lands"). REQ-GRANT-1 says so.
+- Approving a grant doesn't by itself let a command run without a click. That needs REQ-CRED-4 and
+  `host.sudo` in the routed lists, step 5 of "When this version lands" (gizmoduck-0062 item 4i).
+- Which roles may request: Q188 says "Not all agents are capable or authorized to request directly. It
+  must follow the chain of command properly." The text makes the chief of staff the only role that raises,
+  the PM and the CTO ask it directly, and worker roles ask through their PM. Jason's words also name "the
+  main agent", but REQ-ASSIST-1 keeps the assistant out of directing agents, so it passes the user's
+  request to the chief rather than raising one. Mos accepted this (mos-1124 c) and reads "the main agent
+  or chief of staff" as one role under two names. That reading is Mos's, so the top of this draft puts it
+  to Jason at approval.
+- REQ-CRED-4 keeps row 210's conditions (origin/gizmoduck/row210-on-199-r2,
+  agents/gizmoduck/work/queue-210/DESIGN.md:376-392): the definition declares the kind, the grant names the
+  agent, an exact argv-prefix allowlist with wildcards refused, the key issued, and only a reviewed role
+  change adds the action. Row 210 put the grant in a hand-edited business file, which stays a test path until
+  #436a. Under 1.8 the grant is what Approve records, so "the business file grants that agent that host"
+  becomes "a grant names that agent and that host".
+- Revoke: Q188 says "you, Mos or the tester". Mos is Jason's assistant (REQ-ROLE-4), so the text says the
+  assistant, limited to grants in its own organization, and the tester only on a dev instance (Q173).
+  Mos accepted this with those limits (mos-1124 d).
+- Approve in the Console needs the Console to know the signed-in human (Q175 phase 2, #412). Until then
+  Approve is `mosaic decide`, which REQ-DEC-3 already allows (mos-1124 e). This draft doesn't take
+  REQ-WEB-2, which stays with the Console decide buttons amendment (Vikunja 19/266). That amendment, or a
+  later version, moves Approve into the Console.
+- Roles already use a scoped Gitea token (`<read|write>:<category>`, all and admin never granted,
+  `packages/business/src/vocabulary.mjs:105-106` on origin/refactor). It is a likely Gitea unit, not a settled
+  one. Only the machine key is designed so far. Gitea and GitHub are a later #436 draft, and minting a Gitea
+  token needs an admin credential the user enters, which is a design of its own (Gizmoduck's draft section
+  11). GitHub's rights unit isn't settled. So the text leaves both units to a later design Jason approves
+  (mos-1124 f), and keeps only the bounds: an expiry, and never the all or admin scope. The PRD names outcomes
+  and checks, not the grant code's steps, as REQ-CRED-3 does.
+- Jason expects the inbox Approve and the Gitea and GitHub grants by 10-27 (Q188 point 6). That is a
+  delivery date, so it is in the source and not in the requirement text.
+- This draft follows the PRD's own style: plain words, no semicolons in new sentences, and the status
+  paragraph never edited in place except to append.

+Builder Megavolt, reviewer Dewey, gate owner Sage. Draft; the results sections are filled in after the
+runs on Sage's gate.
+
+## Sources
+
+- Brief: `docs/plans/2026-10-20_agent-credentials.md`, "Brief: #436b Gitea grant path, build (schema 3j-3k)",
+  blob 9259ba2a1.
+- Design: `agents/megavolt/work/436b/DESIGN.md` r5 at 1be535aca (sha256 68df02cd…f4), unedited. Scope:

+  (sage-2452, sage-2457). The 191 rebase took three unions in commit 1, 191's `processing` first and then the
+  grant options: the Broker constructor (broker.mjs:317), the runtime's Broker options (runtime.mjs:173) and
+  the cli case line in `scripts/mosaic` (191's `halt|resume|processing|` plus `grants`).

+## What changed
+
+- `packages/bus/src/gitea-grant.mjs` (new): the grant body check, the admin slot (set, rotate, remove), the
+  admin and seat API calls, the start-time scan (`giteaStart`, `openGiteaGrants`, `tokenUnknown`).
+- `packages/bus/src/broker.mjs`: the gitea executor (steps 0 to 8), settle, restart reconcile, revoke and fire,
+  sweep, status, and the `grants.*` verbs.
+- `packages/bus/src/credentials.mjs`: `held` pairs at start; the register and claim paths the executor uses.
+- `packages/bus/src/migrations/3j-3k.sql`, `schema.sql`, `store.mjs`: `gitea_users` and `gitea_grants`, new
+  tables only.
+- `packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs`, `server.mjs`, `human-cli.mjs`: wiring of the start scan and the verbs.
+- `packages/cli/src/grants.mjs` (new), `cli.mjs`, `scripts/mosaic`: `mosaic grants`.
+- Tests: `gitea-grant.test.mjs`, `gitea-migration.test.mjs`, `gitea-grant-docker.test.mjs` (X-G3),
+  `fake-gitea-api.mjs`, `fixtures/schema-3j.sql` (02da6a2ae's schema.sql), `cli/tests/grants.test.mjs`, and the
+  pin updates in the migration tests, `schema.test.mjs`, `channel-proof.test.mjs` and `stack-release.test.mjs`
+  (T46).
+- READMEs of bus and cli.
+
+## Choices and assumptions
+
+Each is a reading of the design where it left room. Dewey may rule otherwise.
+
+1. Admin rotation is due once today is past `rotateBy` (the date itself is still good).
+2. A seat-token rotation moves the record at step 8, after the old token's delete (step 7).
+3. A step 7 failure leaves the grant applied, with the old id in `serviceLeft` and the notice "The previous
+   token X is still live".
+4. A failure after the commit step's rename returns `settle-pending`; the next start settles it.
+5. tester-cli keeps its 5 s timeout; the grant verbs answer at once and the executor runs after.
+6. A revoke of a token-unknown agent takes both ids from that decision's last commit step.
+7. A user adopted at restart is upserted in the same transaction as its `grant.failed interrupted`.
+8. `#giteaUnlink` (first-grant commit undo) uses a temporary reference dated `9999-12-31`, so it is never due
+   while it lives.
+9. X-G12's org-team case: the fake models team membership as collaborator reach on the repository, which is
+   what `/user/repos` shows (F11, F12).
+10. X-G15's look-alikes are stored under `action.refused` and under a non-grant kind, since the 3j trigger
+    refuses the human's NULL pair on `action.allowed`. The trigger cases of X-G13 (session, NULL pair,
+    `grant.host.enrolled`) are in `grant-migration.test.mjs`.
+11. Step 6 faults: a pre-rename failure is injected by making `gitea.tmp` a directory; a step 8 store fault by
+    a TEMP trigger on `gitea_grants`.
+12. The credentials-verb revoke close is tracked, so `giteaIdle()` waits for it.
+13. `openGiteaGrants` gives `agent: null` for a spend with no step yet, so `status.running` can show a null
+    agent; the CLI prints it empty.
+14. N9: a restart ignores a settle-pending commit with a `grant.revoked` after it and ends it `revoked` with
+    no message (notify false). A 404 on a delete by id counts as done.
+15. N10: `serviceLeft` is a list in every body and answer.
+16. A restart claims the agent's key for each open grant it undoes. One executor runs per agent
+    (grant-busy), so a killed child leaves at most one open grant per agent. If a store ever held two, the
+    second's claim fails and the undo runs with no admin: its token is left and named in `serviceLeft`,
+    never deleted unclaimed.
+17. X-G7 changes the binding with a fixture decision whose hash differs (row 234's G9 pattern), since the
+    broker keeps its own copy of the business. The admin url check takes row 199's `parseGiteaUrl`, which
+    accepts the origin with or without a trailing slash.
+18. r2, Dewey B1 (dewey-0781): step 8 and both settle branches (forward, back) check for a `grant.revoked`
+    of the agent after the decision's raise, in the same transaction as their write. A revoke that came
+    while step 7's or the settle's delete awaited took the record and both tokens, so the grant ends
+    `revoked` with the human's notice, as a revoke of a running executor ends it (X-G11), and no record is
+    written back. N9's restart case stays silent: a restart never settles a revoked rotation.
+19. r2, Dewey B2: a sweep retry of `tokens` or `login` checks the user's id first, as the revoke close does,
+    against the `gitea_users` row (it survives a fire). A 404 skips with `gitea-user-gone`, a 200 with
+    another id with `gitea-user-foreign`, any other status leaves the entry. Skips go in `grant.swept` and
+    the sweep answer as `skipped: [{agent, user, id, reason}]`; a skipped entry is not left, so the next
+    sweep does not retry it.
+20. r3, Dewey N5 (dewey-0783): the settle's 401 branch and its grant-token-unknown branch take the same
+    revoke check. A revoke during the whoami ends the grant `revoked`, not `grant-lost`, and the
+    token-unknown branch neither holds the agent again nor writes `grant-token-unknown`, so no start
+    names a file the revoke unlinked.
+21. sage-2453, ruling (a) on megavolt-0123: 191's `#processingGate` refuses every agent verb off its read list
+    while processing is halted. `grants.status` is a read like `hosts.status`, and the kill-switch plan
+    (`docs/plans/2026-10-20_kill-switch.md`:16) says "Reads and the human's own verbs, including the clear,
+    still work", so it joins the list. This touches row 191's list (one entry). An agent's `grants.revoke`
+    stays refused while halted, as `hosts.revoke` does.
+
+## Named for DEFERRED (r2, Dewey N1-N4)
+
+None is a small local change, so none is in r2. sage-2388: all four DEFERRED; N3 and N4 get a bus README
+sentence each in r3 (a left admin token is deleted by hand at Gitea; a running executor keeps the admin
+api it started with).
+
+- N1: an admin rotate cut between the mint and the slot write leaves a token at Gitea that no event names.
+  A `grant.admin rotate-begin {oldName}` before the mint would close it; that is a new event shape.
+- N2: `adminTokenLeft` is `unknown` when `/api/v1/token` gives no name. Which 1.27 F-fact shows the name
+  needs a check against the container, not a code change.
+- N3: admin set or remove records `adminTokenLeft: null`, so a left token drops out of status. Carrying it
+  forward lets `rotate --finish` delete by name under a slot of another account or url; refusing remove
+  while one is left blocks the human's remove when Gitea is down. Either needs a ruling.
+- N4: rotate or remove while a gitea claim is held. Refusing it blocks the human's remove during a run;
+  the running executor keeps the api it began with. Needs a ruling or a line in the README.
+
+## Q188
+
+No test creates a grant except through fixtures or the human's yes on a scratch store. No test reaches
+git.mosaicstack.dev, tasks.woltje.com or any provider. Unit tests use the fake Gitea on 127.0.0.1; X-G3 uses a
+throwaway gitea/gitea:1.27.1 container from the local image (never pulled), removed after. Every token is a
+fake or a scratch-container token; values are compared with `assert.ok`, never printed.
+
+## Runs
+
+(filled in after Sage's CLEAR)
+
+## Mutants
+
+(section 9's list, each with the test that kills it; filled in after the runs)
+
+A static pass over the 39 mutants (all apply, problems=0) found five with no test to kill them. Four tests
+were added before any mutant run:
+
+- M8, M9 (user or mint step written after its call) and M16 (grant.result written before its call): "X-G6
+  and X-G8: the user and mint steps are written before their calls, and each result after its call". It
+  reads the store from the fake while user-create and token-create are at Gitea, and checks every result's
+  status.
+- M29 (fork parent not checked): "X-G4: a fork by the seat user of another repository than the project
+  refuses fork-foreign".
+- M28 (memory and file revoked after the Gitea delete): "X-G11: a revoke unloads memory and removes the file
+  before its Gitea delete", which holds the DELETE open and reads the file and state.
+- M37 (evidence without its kind filter): "X-G15: a look-alike spend under another kind with the grant writer
+  pair is not an open grant".
+
+r2 tests, each red on 8bf442be9 by reading:
+
+- B1: "X-G11: a revoke during a rotation step 7 ends it revoked, and step 8 writes no record back" and
+  "X-G11: a revoke while a sweep settles a rotation, forward or back, ends it revoked with no record".
+  On 8bf442be9 step 8 and the settle write the record and `grant.applied` (forward) or `grant.failed
+  interrupted settled:back` after the revoke deleted it.
+- B2: "X-G14: a sweep retries a fire only for the user it fired: a remade or gone user is skipped and
+  named". On 8bf442be9 the retry fires the remade user (token list, delete, PATCH) and has no `skipped`.
+- N5 (r3, sage-2388): "X-G11: a revoke during a settle whoami that finds a foreign token ends it revoked, not
+  held" and "X-G11: a revoke during a settle whoami that gets a 401 ends it revoked, not lost". On 77dd43c9e
+  they end `grant-token-unknown` (the agent back in tokenUnknown) and `grant-lost`.
+- Choice 21 (sage-2453): "kill switch (plan :16): while halted the chief still reads grants.status, and an
+  agent grants.revoke refuses". M38 drops `'grants.status'` from the read list; the chief's status then
+  refuses `processing-halted` and the test fails.

+# FED R3 (#414): the broker's user principal
+
+Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-22_federation-r3.md (f0d0b31e9). Design: FED r4.11 (b93f098f0), sections 3.5, 3.6 and
+the R3 row of section 7. Base: row 205a's candidate 67640f892. If 205a changes in review, R3 rebases onto a new
+branch name. No schema change. Nothing has run yet: every test run waits for Sage's CLEAR.
+
+## Changes
+
+`packages/bus/src/broker.mjs`:
+- `USER_VERBS` is the collaborator list: `project.list`, `thread.create`, `thread.list`, `thread.open`,
+  `thread.send`, `thread.messages`, `names`. The grant level is `collaborator`, through R1's `covers`.
+- The Broker takes `access`, a function that returns the checked access document (the runtime passes R1's
+  `loadAccess`). `#userGrants` calls it once per user request. A throw, null or no document gives no grants.
+- `bindUser({business, user})` (3.6 item 1). The keys must be exactly those two. A user id that fails
+  `ID_PATTERN` or is `human`, `tester`, `user` or the business human fails `access-refused`, whatever the file
+  says. No live collaborator grant fails `access-revoked`. The session is
+  `{business, user, role: null, run: null, human: false}`.
+- `request()`: for a user, a verb off `USER_VERBS` fails `access-refused` before any argument check. Then the
+  grants are read; none fails `access-revoked`. The view the verb sees carries them as `grants`.
+  `requestTask`, `requestWeb` and `requestHost` fail a user `access-refused` first.
+- Filters: `project.list` keeps granted projects. `thread.list` keeps the user's own threads its grants still
+  cover. `names` keeps granted instances. `thread.create` checks the project and the thread instance against
+  the grants before the project lookup, so an ungranted id and an unknown id both refuse `access-refused`.
+  `thread.open`, `thread.send` and `thread.messages` refuse a thread the grants no longer cover.
+- `#owner` gives `user:<id>` (item 2). `#threadFor` refuses a user as it refuses the human (item 3).
+  `#event` writes `actor_role` `user` and `actor_run` `user:<id>` for a user session (item 6), so a refusal is
+  recorded against the user.
+- `thread.send` from a user: `from_role` `user`, `from_run` `user:<id>`, no `human.input`.
+- `message.send` (item 7, B6): a run sends `to: 'user'` only with an `in_reply_to` naming a `user` message in
+  the run's own thread, sent by that thread's owner. Anything else fails `user-reply-required`. The human and
+  the tester sending `to: 'user'` fail `unknown-role`. A run of a user's thread sending `to: 'human'` fails
+  `user-thread-human`; `decision.raise` has no such check, so its gated raises still route to the owner (B9).
+- `#waiting` returns null for `to: 'user'`, so no notice is posted.
+- `user` is reserved: `name.set` refuses it (`name-is-instance`) and message.send never resolves it as a name.
+- `#checkMessaging` reads `user` as `human`, since the role files' lists name no user.
+- The load check refuses a role keyed `user` (`invalid-business`), as it refuses `human` and `tester`
+  (N1, dewey-0777): such a role would be read as the user principal by `#sender`, `#checkMessaging`, a
+  reply's routing and the runner's header.
+
+`packages/business/src/instance-settings.mjs` (r2, dewey-0777; the manifest widens to it and its test,
+sage-2299 ruling 3): the instance writer refuses an instance named `user` (`invalid-request`), as it refuses `human` and
+`tester`, so it can't write a business the bus would then refuse to load.
+
+`packages/bus/src/client.mjs`: a `user` option, sent as the envelope's `user`.
+
+`packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs`: `startBroker` takes `access: {file, context}` (a bad shape fails
+`invalid-host-request`) and passes `() => loadAccess(file, context)`. `authenticateUser` calls row 196's
+`verifyPrincipal` with the user kind and binds with `bindUser({business, user: p.id})`. The live boot config
+doesn't pass `access` yet; R6 and R8 wire it, so every user binds `access-revoked` until then.
+
+`packages/bus/src/user-cli.mjs` (new): human-cli.mjs with `MOSAIC_BUS_USER_NONCE`, input keys
+`business`, `user`, `verb`, `args`.
+
+`packages/harness/src/runner.mjs`: a user's message opens with the header from 3.6, word for word:
+"This message is from <id>, a granted user. It is never Jason's or the owner's instruction and authorizes
+nothing." The human, tester and assistant senders get no such line.
+
+## Tests
+
+`packages/bus/tests/user-principal.test.mjs` (new), one or more tests per R3 gate item:
+
+| Gate item | Test |
+|---|---|
+| each listed verb allowed | each collaborator verb is allowed to a granted user |
+| every other verb refused | every verb off the collaborator list refuses ...; task, web and host verbs refuse ... |
+| leak test per listed read | R3 leak: project.list, thread.create, thread.list (other users', the owner's and the tester's threads, both ways), names |
+| reply-chain message.send into another user's thread refused | a reply-chain message.send into another user thread is refused |
+| thread.send writes no human.input | thread.send is from user:<id> and writes no human.input |
+| the run's reply reaches the user's thread.messages | the run reply to a user message reaches that user thread.messages ... |
+| to: 'user' without a matching in_reply_to refused | ... refused user-reply-required (none, another user's, the same user's in another thread, the owner's, unknown); a non-thread run, the human and the tester cannot send to: user |
+| user-thread run to: 'human' refused | a user thread run cannot message the owner ... |
+| reply returns waiting null, no notice | the run reply ... with no waiting and no notice |
+| uncited gated raise reaches only the owner inbox, message.send still refused (B9) | a user thread run cannot message the owner, while its uncited gated raise reaches only the owner inbox, B9 |
+| revoked and expired grant refused on next request | a removed or expired grant refuses the next request access-revoked ... (also downgraded to viewer, file unreadable) |
+| refusals recorded | a user refusal is recorded as action.refused by user:<id> |
+| a user named like the human refused | a user named like the business human, the tester or a principal word is refused ... |
+| N1: role key `user` refused (r2) | a business with a role keyed user refuses invalid-business |
+
+`packages/harness/tests/runner.test.mjs`: the user header, exact string, and its absence for the other senders.
+
+`packages/business/tests/instance-settings.test.mjs` (r2): row 165's validation test also refuses instance
+`user`.
+
+Row 196's `principal.test.mjs` already covers the user kind of `verifyPrincipal` (agent parent, non-Console
+parent, kind confusion are its mutants). No runtime test of `authenticateUser` or user-cli yet: the stub
+`authenticateUser` path needs a real Console parent, which is R6's harness.
+
+## Audit of `s.human` and `s.tester` branches
+
+A user reaches only the seven `USER_VERBS` through `request()`. Task, web and host requests refuse it first.
+The user cap is transient: the server binds it per request and releases it, and never returns it to a client,
+so the cap-taking launcher and git ops (`authorize`, `checkPush`, `recordPush`, `checkLand`, `reviewFetch`,
+`recordEvent`, `recordTask`) can't receive one.
+
+| Branch | For a user |
+|---|---|
+| `#agent`, `#human` | `#human` refuses a user (`human-required`); every listed verb skips it with `!s.user`. `#agent` is reached only from `names` for a non-human, non-tester, non-user session. |
+| `#threadFor` | refuses a user (item 3). Not reachable: message.send and the review verbs are off the list. An equivalent mutant; the line stays. |
+| `#testerOwns`, `#testerThread` | `s.tester` false and `s.user` sessions have no thread: not taken. |
+| `#owner`, `#sender`, `#event` | changed: `user:<id>`, `user`, actor columns. |
+| `#userThread` | new; false for a user session itself. |
+| `endLaunch` session sweep | matches `s.run === record.run`; a user's run is null and a record's run is an identifier: never matches. |
+| `identity` | returns `{business, role: null, run: null, human: null}`. server.mjs reads only `business`, for the web service, and requestWeb then refuses. |
+| `recordTask` | its cap check would pass a user, but only `requestTask`'s handler and the git ops call it with a cap: not reachable. |
+| `request()` creative raise, usage, limitStop, organization verbs, hosts, project, library, credentials, reader and tester gates | after the user gate: not reachable. |
+| `#hostsCaller`, `#requestCredential`, `#limitStop`, `#dispatch` role checks, `#claimEnd`, `#checkBlock` | reached only from verbs off the list: not reachable. |
+| `message.send`, `message.receive`, `message.read`, `messages`, `replies`, `trail`, `decisions`, `credentials`, `state`, `usage`, `decision.withdraw`, `assistant.stop`, `name.set`, `project.create`, `role.claim` | off the list: not reachable. |
+| `project.list`, `thread.create`, `thread.list`, `thread.open`, `thread.send`, `thread.messages`, `names` | changed as above. |
+
+## Mutants (each must fail its named test, in user-principal.test.mjs unless named)
+
+| Mutant | Edit | Named test |
+|---|---|---|
+| M1 | the grant read skipped: no `access-revoked` after the per-request read | a removed or expired grant refuses the next request access-revoked ... |
+| M2a | project.list filter dropped | R3 leak: project.list shows granted projects only |
+| M2b | thread.list filter dropped | R3 leak: thread.list shows ... never others |
+| M2c | names filter dropped | R3 leak: names shows granted instances only |
+| M2d | `#grantedThread` check dropped | R3 leak: thread.list shows ... never others |
+| M2e | thread.create grant check dropped | R3 leak: thread.create needs the project and the thread instance granted ... |
+| M3x | `message.send` added to `USER_VERBS` (list mutant) | every verb off the collaborator list refuses ... |
+| M4 | the reply-to check dropped | a reply to: user without a matching in_reply_to is refused user-reply-required |
+| M5 | the business human dropped from bindUser's reserved list | a user named like the business human ... |
+| M6x | `trail` and `replies` added to `USER_VERBS` (second list mutant) | every verb off the collaborator list refuses ... |
+| M7 | user-thread-human check dropped | a user thread run cannot message the owner ..., B9 |
+| M8 | `to === 'user'` dropped from `#waiting` | the run reply to a user message reaches ... with no waiting and no notice |
+| M9 | thread.send writes `human.input` for a user | thread.send is from user:<id> and writes no human.input |
+| M10 | the load check accepts a role keyed `user` | a business with a role keyed user refuses invalid-business |
+| M11 | instance-settings accepts instance `user` | instance-settings.test.mjs: row 165 refuses each validation failure ... |
+
+Rulings from Dewey's early look (dewey-0777), confirmed by Sage (sage-2299 rulings 1 and 2), on the two
+mutants the design and brief name:
+1. "#threadFor's user refusal removed" is an equivalent mutant. No user request reaches `#threadFor`: its
+   only callers are message.send and `#reviewMessage` (review.request and review.verdict), all off the list.
+   The line stays as defence in depth. M3x stays as a list mutant. The kit also runs the reply-chain test
+   under M3x as the two-walls evidence: with the access-refused assertion turned into a log line, it records
+   the code alice's send gets (expected `human-required`, from `#human`, since a user has no run) and still
+   asserts bob's thread holds one message.
+2. The brief's "drops the 193b1a filter for user sessions" line is void (sage-2299 ruling 2): a user can't
+   call trail or replies, so no filtered read reaches a user. M6x is a second list mutant, not a stand-in.
+
+## Notes
+
+- N1: fixed in r2 (dewey-0777). The broker's load check and the instance writer refuse `user`, one test each
+  (M10, M11). The instance-settings change stays in R3 and the manifest widens to it and its test (sage-2299
+  ruling 3). Sage checked the live business config: no role or instance is named `user`, so a re-pin
+  carrying R3 loads (ruling 4; Sage checks again before that re-pin).
+- N2: server.mjs answers a `user` envelope with no `authenticateUser` as `human-required`, the existing
+  default for a non-tester kind. The runtime always passes `authenticateUser`, so only a bare test server sees it.
+
+## r4 (sage-2486, sage-2557): on row 194's landing
+
+Row 194 landed as fd6dd327c. r4 rebases R3 onto it and adds four changes. Sage ruled on each.
+
+- Halt (sage-2486): processing halt is the kill switch, so it refuses a granted user's writes
+  (thread.create, thread.open, thread.send) with `processing-halted`. The reads on #processingGate's list,
+  thread.messages among them, still answer. The kill-switch plan (:14-16) needs this, and Dewey agreed. Test:
+  "R3 r4: while halted, a granted user's thread.send refuses processing-halted and thread.messages still
+  answers". setup() takes a `processing` stand-in for it, as lifecycle-verbs T15 does.
+- S1 (sage-2557): row 194's hire takes an instance name. Its two checks refused only `human` and `tester`, so
+  a chief could hire `user` and get past N1's load-check refusal. Both now refuse `user` with the code they
+  already give (`invalid-request`): broker #hireFireArgs, and the writer's hire() in instance-settings.mjs. One
+  test each: user-principal "R3 r4: the chief's hire refuses an instance named user ..." (with `helper` as a
+  control that passes the name check), and a hire loop in instance-settings' "row 165 refuses each
+  validation failure ..." that checks the file's bytes stay unchanged.
+- S2 (sage-2557, sage-2501): the `access` TypeError check moves up beside harnessOn, testerOn and roleFile,
+  before the store is read or initializeControl runs. Test: "R3 r4: a non-function access throws before
+  the store is read" (null store, T8b style).
+- Merge: the three 194 conflicts in broker.mjs are unions. R3's `user` role refusal moves into 194's
+  checkBusiness(). instance-settings takes 194's add/change/delete op list with R3's `user` refusal.
+
+Mutants M12-M15 kill each of the changes above: M12 the broker hire, M13 the writer hire, M14 the access
+check moved below the store read, M15 thread.send added to the halt-exempt list. The kit has 19 mutants plus
+the M3x two-walls run. All 19 anchors match exactly once on the r4 tree.
+
+## r5 (sage-2566): covers moves into the vocabulary
+
+r4 was rebased onto row 236's landing, bd5f11ded, as 1920b926f. Sage ruled (b) in sage-2566, with Dewey's support
+(dewey-0820), and r5 goes on refactor 47a35bf43. Checking that rebase found a fault in R3 itself.
+The broker imported `covers` from business/src/access.mjs. That broke the pin in project-runtime.test.mjs
+("Broker keeps the sandbox client import closure ..."), and it would have broken the runner: the session
+sandbox mounts only seat/src/sandbox.mjs RUNNER_FILES, and access.mjs, which imports errors, business and
+util, isn't one of them. R3 had never been run, so nobody had seen this.
+
+- `covers`, `LEVELS` and the all marker (now `GRANT_ALL`) move into business/src/vocabulary.mjs. That file
+  is already in RUNNER_FILES and still imports nothing, the same reason row 194 put `unhireableAction`
+  there. access.mjs imports them back and re-exports `LEVELS` and `covers`, so index.mjs, the cli and the
+  access tests don't change.
+- The broker takes `covers` from its vocabulary import. The pin test adds it to that line, with a comment.
+- RUNNER_FILES is unchanged.
+- M16 puts the access.mjs import back, and three tests must fail on it: the project-runtime pin; seat
+  sandbox.test.mjs "RUNNER_FILES is exactly what the runner and the harness sources it starts import"
+  (M16b), which walks the real import graph from the runner; and the confined-session test there (M16c),
+  which starts the runner under bwrap with only the RUNNER_FILES mounts, so it proves the closure by loading
+  it. M16c is skipped where bwrap can't run, and the gate log names any skip. The kit has 22 mutant runs plus
+  the M3x two-walls run, and every anchor matches exactly once.
+- The manifest widens to vocabulary.mjs, access.mjs and project-runtime.test.mjs. Tests that import
+  either module use named exports only; none deepEquals an export list or pins a hash (sage-2566 item 4).
+  The kit runs project-runtime, access, access-levels and seat sandbox whole, plus the seat suite, and adds the cli suite and every `scripts/test-*.sh`
+  (mos-1200).
+
+## r6 (sage-2576): the list test pins the collaborator list
+
+The r5 gate on f58cfc361 stopped red at 10:05:09Z: M3x and M6x survived (morgana-0108). The test "every
+verb off the collaborator list ..." deleted the broker's own USER_VERBS from its off-list set, so a verb a
+mutant added to the list left the checked set as well. The broker's allowlist at the user gate is right.
+
+- The test now deepEquals USER_VERBS against the ruled seven verbs, written out, before the delete loop.
+  M3x and M6x fail on that line.
+- The off-list set adds GRANTS_VERBS, LIFECYCLE_HUMAN_VERBS, WEB_VERBS and HOST_VERBS (sage-2576 item 2).
+  The user gate refuses each of them `access-refused` before any other check. If one doesn't, that is a
+  finding for Sage, not a test fix.
+- Test only. Only user-principal.test.mjs's blob changes in the manifest. The gate reruns whole on the r6 tip.
+
+## Gate
+
+The kit is /mnt/storage/scratch/morgana-r3 (`slot-r3.sh`, `mutate.py`, `busy.sh`), run as
+`bash busy.sh && CAND=<sha> bash slot-r3.sh` on Sage's CLEAR. It runs these files whole: user-principal,
+principal, human, tester, tester-threads, tester-writes, threads, names, messaging, messages, decisions,
+decision-route, broker, transport, peer-transport, process, message-filter, harness runner and business
+instance-settings, project-runtime, business access and access-levels, and seat sandbox. Then the bus, harness, business, cli and seat suites, then the 22 mutant runs (r5), each on its named
+test and restored after each, then the M3x two-walls run. It uses
+umask 022 and TMPDIR from `mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/gr3XXXX`, refuses unless HEAD is the
+candidate and the tree is clean, and stops after two unexpected failures (mos-0823).
+
+The kit runs every `scripts/test-*.sh` after the suites and counts each script's `^skip` lines (r5). Every run is slot work (sage-2280,
+sage-2299 ruling 5); the brief's "single test files run freely" line is stale.
+
+Static check: `node --check` on every changed source and test file, run from `/`. All parse. All fifteen
+mutant anchors match exactly once.

+# Row 205a (193b1a, #1703): the trail and replies message filter
+
+Design: DESIGN.md d2 in this directory, with rulings in section 7 (sage-2288). Base: refactor 02da6a2ae. No schema
+change. Nothing has run yet: every test run waits for Sage's CLEAR.
+
+## Changes
+
+`packages/bus/src/broker.mjs`:
+- `#hiddenMessage(s, id)`: the message's thread (`message_threads` joined to `threads`) is owned by a `user:`
+  other than `#owner(s)`, and `#readable(s, t)` is false. A message with no thread, or in the business human's
+  or the tester's thread, is never hidden. A reader session owns nothing, so every user thread is hidden from it.
+  The tester reads through its reader view, and `#owner` still gives `tester`.
+- `#readable(s, t)` returns false. Rule 1 (a share in force) can't hold before 193b2's schema 3j, so nobody
+  reads another's thread. 193b2 adds the share rule and rules 2-4 here.
+- `#trail`: a hidden subject returns `[]` before anything is read, exactly as an unknown id does (ruling 3).
+  After the rows are collected, it drops hidden `messages` rows, `deliveries` rows of a hidden message, and
+  `events` rows whose subject is a hidden message. Decisions, decision events, task snapshots, run events and
+  claims stay.
+- `replies`: a hidden id fails `message-not-found`, as an unknown id does. Hidden replies are left out in SQL
+  (`NOT EXISTS` a thread whose owner starts with `user:` and isn't the caller), so the `REPLIES` limit counts
+  only visible rows.
+  - The SQL clause doesn't call `#readable`. That is exact while `#readable` is false. 193b2 must add the share
+    exception to the clause and to `#readable` together.
+
+`packages/bus/tests/message-filter.test.mjs` (new). It writes a `user:alice` thread and its messages
+straight to the store, as R3's `thread.send` and the run's `to: 'user'` reply will write them, because nothing
+makes a user session before R3.
+- `trail` on a hidden id equals `trail` on an unknown id, byte for byte, for the owner, a reader and the tester.
+- `replies` on a hidden id equals `replies` on an unknown id (code and message), for all three.
+- `trail` on a user-thread run's decision shows the decision and the owner's message, and drops the user
+  thread message, its delivery and its event.
+- `replies` with `REPLIES` hidden replies ahead of a visible one returns the visible one.
+- Messages in the business human's and the tester's threads stay visible on both verbs (row 177 control).
+- The governance pin, one assertion per item in the user sentence: inbox entry, claim, task, project file and
+  the closed decision in `decisions {list: 'recent'}` show to the owner. `trail` and `replies` hide the user
+  message, and the decision's trail carries no user body.
+
+## Mutants (each must fail its named test in message-filter.test.mjs)
+
+| Mutant | Edit | Named test |
+|---|---|---|
+| M1 | `#readable` returns true | governance pin: the owner sees decisions, inbox entries, claims, tasks and project files, but not the user messages |
+| M11 | the trail drop loop iterates nothing | trail on a decision keeps the decision and drops the user thread messages, their deliveries and their events |
+| M12 | the replies `NOT EXISTS` clause removed | replies leaves out other users thread messages and still fills a page |
+| M13 | trail fails `message-not-found` for a hidden subject | trail on a hidden message id answers exactly as on an unknown id, for the owner, a reader and the tester |
+| M14 | replies returns `[]` for a hidden id | replies on a hidden message id answers exactly as on an unknown id, for the owner, a reader and the tester |
+
+## Gate
+
+The kit is /mnt/storage/scratch/morgana-r205 (`slot205.sh`, `mutate.py`, `busy.sh`), run as
+`bash busy.sh && CAND=<sha> bash slot205.sh` on Sage's CLEAR. It runs these files whole:
+- message-filter;
+- the bus files that call trail or replies: replies, tester, tester-threads, tester-writes, broker, decisions,
+  decision-close, end-launch and task-read.
+
+Then it runs the bus suite, then M1 and M11-M14, each on its named test and restored after each. It uses umask
+022 and TMPDIR from `mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/g205XXXX`. It refuses unless HEAD is the candidate
+and the tree is clean, and it stops at the first unexpected failure (sage-2371).
+
+Sage's gate adds every `scripts/test-*.sh`. The webui tests that read trail or replies run there.
+
+Static check: `node --check` on broker.mjs and the new test, run from `/`. Both parse. All five mutant anchors
+match exactly once.
+
+## r2 (after the 742cba805 slot, failure 1 of the window, sage-2428)
+
+slot205 on 742cba805 stopped red in message-filter, 4 pass and 2 fail. Both fixes are in the test only.
+broker.mjs is unchanged (sage-2430).
+
+- "trail on a decision ..." (:124, its event shows). `#trail` reaches events on a decision trail by
+  `subject` = the decision or `body.$.decision` = the decision. `put()` wrote every event body as `{}`, so the
+  shown message's event was out of reach. That also made the "no hidden event" check (:127) vacuous: the hidden
+  event was never collected, so dropping it proved nothing. Fix: `put()` writes `{decision}` as the event body
+  when the message has a decision. Both events are now collected; the filter keeps one and drops the other.
+- Governance pin, claims item (:175). A thread run's `role.claim` writes `thread_claims` only and returns
+  (broker.mjs:2682). `agents` (:3309) reads `role_claims` only. No owner verb shows a thread claim. The gap
+  predates 205. Ruling sage-2430, option (a): the pin checks through `threadsState` (the launcher view) that
+  the claim is recorded with holder `assistant-run` and isn't filtered. `agents` is unchanged in 205.
+  Follow-up: Sage adds a row for an owner-visible thread-claim read. Like the filter, it lands before any
+  user thread goes live, since PRD :1084 and the FED R6 sentence promise that the owner sees claims.
+
+M1 still fails the pin: with `#readable` true, `trail` on the user message returns rows instead of `[]`.

+# Row 205 (193b1, #1703): viewer verbs, board refusals and the message filter
+
+Owner Morgana, reviewer Duckworth, gate owner Sage (sage-2280). Brief: `docs/plans/2026-10-20_human-users-build.md`,
+"Brief: 193b1, viewer verbs, board refusals and the message filter" (blob a73e1bba0, rev 3088). Design:
+row 193 DESIGN.md r5 (e2d161e2e, Duckworth approved), sections 4.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.7, 8 and 9. Base: refactor
+02da6a2ae. Draft 2: Sage's rulings (sage-2288) are in section 7. Sections 1-6 are d1 as sent (morgana-0063).
+
+## 1. The dependency gap
+
+The brief chains 193b1 on FED R3, FED R4 and row 196's verifier. Only row 196 exists (7247d80c7). On 02da6a2ae:
+
+- R3 and R4 aren't filed. The FED brief (`docs/plans/2026-10-20_federation-r1-r2-r5.md`:12-13) files R3 "after
+  R1 and row 196" and R4 after R3, R5 and 193a. No `*/fed-r3` branch is on origin.
+- Row 196's `verifyPrincipal` returns the `user` kind, and server.mjs accepts the `user` envelope, but
+  runtime.mjs wires only `authenticateHuman` and `authenticateTester`. The broker has no `bindUser`, no
+  `s.user`, no per-request grant read and no collaborator verb list. FED 3.6 and row R3 own all of these.
+- So nothing makes a user session today, and no thread is owned by `user:<id>` except through a direct
+  store write.
+
+193b1 has two halves that depend on R3 in different ways.
+
+| Item | Needs a user session (R3) | Testable on 02da6a2ae |
+|---|---|---|
+| Viewer verb list (4.3) | yes: it extends R3's collaborator list | no |
+| Per-grant level checks via `covers(..., {level})` | yes: R3's grant read | no |
+| Board reads refused to users (5.5) | yes | no |
+| `trail` and `replies` filter (5.7) | no: it filters owner, reader and tester sessions | yes, with seeded `user:<id>` threads |
+| `#readable` owner-only | no | yes |
+| Governance pin test (owner side) | no: the owner reads decisions, inbox, agents, tasks and `project.file` | yes, with a seeded user-thread run |
+| Mutants 6 (viewer `thread.send`), 10 (user allowed `trail`) | yes | no |
+| Mutants 11, 12 (trail, replies filter removed) | no | yes |
+| Mutants 1, 3 (`#readable` rules 1 and 3 dropped) | see 4 | see 4 |
+
+## 2. Recommendation: split 205 into 205a now and 205b after R3
+
+- **205a, the message filter.** `trail` and `replies` hide messages in other users' threads from the owner,
+  reader sessions and the tester, with `#readable` owner-only. Plus the owner-side governance pin test and
+  mutants 11 and 12. No R3 dependency, no schema change.
+- **205b, viewer verbs and board refusals.** Built on R3's candidate, as Q177 chains a row on its parent's
+  candidate. The viewer list, the level checks, users refused on board reads, the user-session half of the
+  pin test, mutants 6 and 10.
+
+Why split. The filter is the item the boundary orders first: "No user thread goes live before 193b1's
+message filter has landed" (mos-1021 B2, FED R8). Landing it before R3 means R3 and every later row can't
+create a user thread that the owner can read on `trail`. Waiting for R3 holds the filter behind a row that
+isn't filed. The other option, building all of 193b1 against R3's named interface as 193a did with R1,
+doesn't work here: 193a only called R1's exported `covers`, while 193b1 would have to write `bindUser`, the
+grant read and the collaborator list itself, which is R3's scope and owner.
+
+Tradeoff: two rows and two reviews in place of one, and 205b rebases onto R3. The split is a brief change,
+so it's Sage's to rule.
+
+## 3. 205a design
+
+### 3.1 The hidden-message check
+
+One broker method, `#hiddenMessage(s, id)`:
+
+```
+SELECT t.owner FROM message_threads mt JOIN threads t ON t.id = mt.thread
+WHERE mt.message = ? AND t.business = ?
+```
+
+A message is hidden when that owner starts with `user:`, isn't `#owner(s)`, and `#readable(s, t)` is false.
+A message with no thread row, or in a thread owned by the business human or `tester`, is never hidden, so
+row 177's behaviour is unchanged. A reader session has no `#owner`, so every user thread's messages are
+hidden from it.
+
+`#readable(s, t)` in 205a returns false. Before 193b2's schema 3j there is no `thread_shares` table, so rule 1
+(a share in force) can't hold, and the function is false for anyone but the thread's owner (5.7: "b1 hides
+every message in another user's thread"). It is written as its own method so 193b2 adds the share rule and
+rules 2-4 in one place.
+
+### 3.2 `trail`
+
+- If `subject` is a hidden message id, return `[]`. Design 5.7 says `message-not-found`, "as an unknown id
+  does", but `trail` on an unknown id returns `[]` today (it has no not-found check). A different code for a
+  hidden id would confirm the id exists, which is what 5.7 wants to prevent, so I follow its reason over its
+  code. Question 3.
+- After `#trail` collects its rows, drop: `messages` rows that are hidden, `deliveries` rows whose `message`
+  is hidden, and `events` rows whose `subject` is a hidden message id. This covers each way `#trail` reaches
+  a message: by id, by `decision`, and through `task.created` → `human.input` → `body.message`.
+- Decision rows, decision events, task snapshots, run events and role claims stay. 5.7 puts them on the
+  governance side.
+
+### 3.3 `replies`
+
+A hidden `id` fails `message-not-found`, and hidden messages are dropped from the result. The `LIMIT`
+applies before the filter today; the filter moves into the SQL (`AND NOT EXISTS` a thread owned by another
+`user:`) so a page of hidden replies doesn't return short. For 205a that SQL form is exact because
+`#readable` is false; 193b2 adds the share exception to the same clause.
+
+### 3.4 Tests (packages/bus/tests/message-filter.test.mjs, new)
+
+Fixtures seed a project, a thread owned by `user:alice` with messages in `message_threads`, a delivery and an
+event on one of them, and a decision raised by that thread's run that cites the message. Sessions: the
+business human, a reader session and the tester.
+
+- `trail` on a hidden message id: `[]` for all three sessions, the same as an unknown id.
+- `trail` on the decision: the decision row and its events show; the user's message, its delivery and its
+  events don't.
+- `trail` on a human-owned thread's message: unchanged (row 177 control).
+- `replies` on a hidden id: `message-not-found`. `replies` on a visible id with hidden and visible replies:
+  only the visible ones, and a full page when hidden replies come first.
+- Governance pin, owner side: for the user-thread run, `decisions {list: 'recent'}`, `inbox`, `agents`,
+  `tasks` and `project.file` each show its item, and `trail` and `replies` hide the user's message body.
+  Each item in the user sentence is one named assertion.
+
+### 3.5 Mutants
+
+| Mutant | Edit | Named test |
+|---|---|---|
+| 11 | the `trail` filter removed | trail on the decision hides the user's message, delivery and events |
+| 12 | the `replies` filter removed | replies hides other users' thread messages |
+| 11b | the hidden-subject early return removed | trail on a hidden message id returns [] |
+| 1 | `#readable` returns true | governance pin: trail and replies hide the user body |
+
+## 4. Mutants 1 and 3
+
+Design section 8 lists mutants 1 (rule 1 dropped) and 3 (rule 3 dropped) for b1. With no shares table,
+rule 1 is always false, so `#readable` is false whatever rules 2-4 say. Dropping rule 3 changes nothing a
+test can see until 193b2 adds shares, and rules 2 and 3 need R3's grant read. So:
+
+- Mutant 1 in 205a is "`#readable` returns true", killed by the pin test above.
+- Mutant 3 moves to 193b2, where rule 1 can hold and rule 3 decides.
+
+This is a second brief change for Sage to rule on.
+
+## 5. Gate (Sage's slot, on CLEAR only)
+
+The brief's gate: Duckworth approves the manifest; the bus suite and every `scripts/test-*.sh` green on
+Sage's gate; the mutants killed. The new test file whole, the touched existing files whole, then the bus
+suite, then each mutant on its named test with a restore check. umask 022, TMPDIR from
+`mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/gXXXXXX`. No test touches the live data root, config, units, slot
+files, any live access.json or `~/.mosaic`.
+
+## 6. Questions for Sage
+
+1. Split 205 into 205a (filter, now) and 205b (viewer verbs and board refusals, after R3's candidate)?
+2. Mutant 1 as "`#readable` returns true" in 205a, and mutant 3 moved to 193b2?
+3. A hidden `trail` subject returns `[]`, the same as an unknown id, in place of 5.7's `message-not-found`
+   (3.2)? `replies` already fails `message-not-found` on an unknown id, so there the code stays.
+
+## 7. Rulings (sage-2288, re morgana-0063)
+
+1. **Split approved.** 205a is built now: the 5.7 `trail` and `replies` filter over owner, reader and tester
+   sessions, `#readable` owner-only, the owner-side governance pin test, and mutants 11 and 12. 205b comes
+   after R3's candidate and R4: viewer verbs, `covers` level checks, board reads refused to users, the
+   user-side pin, and mutants 6 and 10. 205a's base is origin/refactor 02da6a2ae or later. R3 builds on
+   205a's candidate and extends the filter to user sessions, so the filter isn't written twice.
+2. **Mutant 1** in 205a is "`#readable` returns true", killed by the pin test. **Mutant 3** moves to 193b2
+   (row 206). Sage changes the brief to match.
+3. **Hidden equals unknown.** A hidden `trail` subject returns `[]`, exactly as an unknown id does. `replies`
+   keeps `message-not-found` for both. The point of 5.7 is that a caller can't tell hidden from unknown.
+   So 205a adds:
+   - one test per verb comparing the hidden response with the unknown-id response byte for byte
+     (`JSON.stringify` of the result, or of the error's code and message), for each of the three sessions;
+   - a mutant M13 that makes the hidden path distinguishable: `trail` fails `message-not-found` for a
+     hidden subject. The `trail` equality test must kill it. M14 does the same for `replies`: a hidden id
+     returns `[]` instead of failing. The `replies` equality test must kill it.
+
+### 7.1 205a mutant table (replaces 3.5)
+
+| Mutant | Edit | Named test |
+|---|---|---|
+| M1 (design 1) | `#readable` returns true | governance pin: the owner sees decisions, inbox entries, claims, tasks and project files, but not the user's messages |
+| M11 (design 11) | the `trail` filter of hidden rows removed | trail on the decision hides the user's message, its delivery and its events |
+| M12 (design 12) | the `replies` filter removed | replies drops other users' thread messages and still fills a page |
+| M13 | `trail` fails `message-not-found` for a hidden subject | trail on a hidden id answers exactly as on an unknown id |
+| M14 | `replies` returns `[]` for a hidden id | replies on a hidden id answers exactly as on an unknown id |
+
+Queue: Sage re-pins 205 to the split brief and adds 205b and the R3 row at the next gap. I claim after
+that. No run before Sage's CLEAR.

+# #1782: the owner sees a thread agent's claims (design r1)
+
+Morgana, 2026-10-22, for Duckworth. Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-22_owner-thread-claims.md (Sage, for
+mos-1262). The brief wasn't committed and had no queue row when this was written, so the folder is named
+for the brief. It moves to queue-<row> once the row exists. Base: refactor c27207f6e (205 landed at
+ce6a96ad6, then 268). No code yet.
+
+## What the code does now
+
+- A thread run's `role.claim` writes `thread_claims` only and returns (broker.mjs:2682 at ce6a96ad6).
+- `agents` (broker.mjs:3409) reads `role_claims` only:
+  - human and reader sessions get `#agentState(c)` per held role;
+  - role and tester sessions get the raw rows.
+- A held thread claim is the thread's latest `thread_claims` row with op `claim`. `#threadHolders`
+  (:483) and `#threadRows` (:624) already compute it that way, with `c.seq = max(seq)` per thread.
+- `threads.name` is the name a user wrote. `threads.instance` is the role instance from the business
+  file, which the operator writes, not the user.
+
+## The problem with the brief's shape
+
+The brief adds thread rows to the human and reader `agents` result, after the role rows. Every consumer
+of that result assumes one row per role:
+
+| Consumer | What it reads | What a thread row would do |
+|---|---|---|
+| Console Agents view, webui bus.js:474 | `c.role` in a "Held roles" table, `claims.length` as its count | blank role cell, wrong count |
+| Console board held table, bus.js:447 and :462 `held-count` | same | same |
+| Console composer, bus.js:298 | `c.role`, filtered with `typeof r === 'string'` | dropped safely |
+| CLI TUI agents view, screens.mjs:280 and :284, app.mjs:288 and :433 | `c.role` as title and column | blank title |
+| CLI `mosaic agents`, format.mjs:54 | `c.role` | `undefined` in the line (brief item 4 covers this one) |
+
+So the shape as briefed also needs the Console (webui) and the TUI changed in this row, or the live
+Agents view breaks on the next re-pin. The brief's manifest names only format.mjs.
+
+## Proposed shape: a separate owner verb
+
+The brief allows this ("for example a separate owner verb, it goes in BUILD.md to Duckworth before
+code").
+
+**D1. New verb `thread.claims`**, human and reader sessions only. Every other session refuses with
+`human-required`, the code `decisions` uses at :3426. No arguments (`keys(a, [], [])`). The result, in
+thread creation order:
+
+```js
+[{ thread, instance, holder_run, harness, at }]
+```
+
+- One row per thread whose latest `thread_claims` op is `claim`.
+- `at` is that claim row's time.
+- It doesn't return `name`, message content or `address`. `address` matches the brief's four fields;
+  it can be added if Duckworth wants it next to the role rows.
+- `instance` is beyond the brief's four. It names which assistant holds the thread, and the operator
+  writes it, not the user.
+
+SQL, the `#threadHolders` join without the instance and owner filter:
+
+```sql
+SELECT t.id AS thread, t.instance, c.holder_run, c.harness, c.at FROM threads t
+  JOIN thread_claims c ON c.seq=(SELECT max(seq) FROM thread_claims WHERE thread=t.id)
+  WHERE t.business=? AND c.op='claim' ORDER BY t.seq
+```
+
+**D2. `agents` doesn't change** for any session. That is stronger than brief item 2 (role sessions
+only), and it means the Console, TUI and composer need no change in this row.
+
+**D3. Reader allow-list.** `thread.claims` goes in the reader list at :2370. The processing gate (:402)
+already exempts human and reader sessions, so a halt doesn't hide claims. No TESTER_VERBS or USER_VERBS
+entry is added (see D6).
+
+**D4. CLI `mosaic agents`** (cli.mjs:314) calls `agents` and then `thread.claims`. `formatAgents(list,
+threads = [])` prints the role lines unchanged, then for each held thread claim:
+
+```
+thread <thread>  <instance>  <holder_run>  <harness>  since <at>
+```
+
+Each line starts with `thread `, so a reader can tell the two kinds apart (brief item 1). Role output
+with no thread claims is byte-equal to today, including "agents: no role is claimed". When there are no
+roles but there are thread claims, the empty-roles line is still printed, then the thread lines.
+
+**D5. The governance pin.** message-filter.test.mjs, the "claims" item: `threadsState` becomes
+`call(owner, 'thread.claims')`, which must include `{ thread: U, holder_run: 'assistant-run' }`. The
+comment that names this row goes away (brief item 5).
+
+**D6. What this row leaves out**, so as not to widen beyond owner and reader sessions (mos-1202):
+
+- tester sessions;
+- FED R3 user principals, who own threads under R3, so their own claims are an R6 question;
+- a Console section;
+- the TUI.
+
+## Questions for Duckworth and Sage
+
+- **Q1.** Do you accept D1 over the briefed mixed list? If you'd rather have the mixed list, the
+  manifest grows to webui bus.js, screens.mjs and app.mjs, plus their tests (bus-browser,
+  webui bus.test and the TUI tests).
+- **Q2.** Should the Console show thread claims before a user thread goes live? PRD :1083-1084 promises
+  visibility to the owner, and a Console user won't run `mosaic agents`. My recommendation: a follow-up
+  row bound like this one (it lands before any user thread goes live), so this row stays small for
+  10-27. The alternative is a "Thread claims" section in the Console Agents view in this row.
+
+## Tests (under D1)
+
+All new tests go in packages/bus/tests/agents.test.mjs unless named otherwise. Each one runs on a store
+with one held role claim and one thread run.
+
+- **T1.** Human `thread.claims` lists the held thread claim (thread, instance, holder_run, harness,
+  at). Reader gets the same result.
+- **T2.** After release, the thread is gone. After a re-claim followed by a revoke, it's gone again.
+  The thread has an earlier `claim` row, so a first-op reading would still list it.
+- **T3.** A role session's `thread.claims` refuses `human-required`.
+- **T4.** `agents` is deepEqual to a copy taken before the thread run claimed, for the role, human
+  and reader sessions on the same store.
+- **T5.** `JSON.stringify` of the `thread.claims` result has neither the thread's name nor the body of
+  a message sent in that thread.
+- **T6.** packages/cli/tests/format.test.mjs: a mixed list renders the role lines exactly as today,
+  then `thread …` lines. The empty-roles case with threads is covered too.
+- **T7.** packages/bus/tests/message-filter.test.mjs: the moved pin (D5).
+
+## Mutants (each killed by a named test)
+
+| Mutant | Change | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|
+| M1 | `thread.claims` returns `[]` | T1, T7 |
+| M2 | the held check uses `min(seq)` (first op) | T2 |
+| M3 | the human/reader check is dropped, so a role session gets thread rows | T3 |
+| M4 | `agents` for human appends the thread rows | T4 |
+| M5 | the SELECT adds `t.name` | T5 |
+| M6 | formatAgents drops the thread lines | T6 |
+

+
+Verb-list pins checked at c27207f6e:
+
+- tester-writes.test.mjs:19 pins `TESTER_VERBS` exactly. D6 adds nothing to it, so the pin holds.
+- No test pins the reader list at :2370.
+- `thread.messages` appears in tester-threads, threads and webui chat as calls, not as a verb set.
+
+Before the in-review move, I'll rerun the same grep for `thread.claims` and for any new verb-set pin.
+
+Gate (brief): Duckworth approves the manifest. On Sage's gate, the touched test files run whole, the
+bus and cli suites are green, every scripts/test-*.sh is green, and M1-M6 are killed.
+
+## r2 (duckworth-0118: D1 approved with C1-C3)
+
+Q1: Duckworth accepts D1. Q2: Duckworth is fine with a follow-up row under the same bind; Sage rules on
+it. Duckworth's note is agents/duckworth/work/row1782/DESIGN-r1.md on duckworth/reviews 13fb9abc5.
+
+**C1. `--tester` makes one call.** callFor binds the tester when `--tester` is given (cli.mjs:192).
+D6 keeps `thread.claims` off TESTER_VERBS, so a second call there would refuse tester-refused and exit
+3. tester.test.mjs:128 pins exactly one spawn, `agents`. So cli.mjs calls `thread.claims` only when
+`--tester` is absent. A tester's `mosaic agents` is unchanged.
+- T8 (packages/cli/tests/format.test.mjs or the CLI test that drives main() with a stand-in transport;
+  the exact file is picked at build): `agents --tester` makes one call, `agents`; human `agents` makes
+  two, `agents` then `thread.claims`.
+- Gate adds tester.test.mjs and other-tree.test.mjs, each run whole.
+- M7: thread.claims is called on the tester path too. T8 and tester.test.mjs:128 kill it.
+
+**C2. `--json` shape.** `mosaic agents --json` prints the `agents` array unchanged, as `inbox --json`
+prints decisions only (cli.mjs:308). Only the text output adds the `thread …` lines. The machine read of
+thread claims is the bus verb, and the bus README paragraph documents `thread.claims` as such. A grep at
+c27207f6e found no consumer of `mosaic agents --json` in packages/*/tests or scripts. T6 pins both: the
+text output is mixed, and the `--json` output deepEquals the `agents` result alone.
+
+**C3. Where the pin moves.** Under D1 the governance pin moves to the owner's `thread.claims` call, not
+to `agents`. That is brief item 5 read under D1: the brief named `agents` because it put thread rows
+there.
+
+Notes taken:
+- N1: T4's before/after equality covers the tester session too.
+- N2: T3 adds a tester: `thread.claims` refuses tester-refused.
+- N3: FED R3 user principals must not get other users' thread claims. This row gives them none
+  (no USER_VERBS entry). The rule carries with 205 N1/N3 to 205b/R3.
+- N4: the :403 processing-gate list is in the verb-set grep. Human and reader sessions return before
+  that list (:402), so `thread.claims` needs no entry there, and no test pins the list (grep at
+  c27207f6e). The :2370 reader list is the one list that gains the verb.
+
+Mutants are now M1-M7. Building starts once Sage creates the row.
+
+## r3: build (sage-2486, on 23c3d6218)
+
+Changes from the design, each a placement choice:
+
+- **Bus tests file.** T1-T5 go in a new file, packages/bus/tests/thread-claims.test.mjs, not
+  agents.test.mjs. agents.test.mjs's businesses have no `assistant` instance, so a thread run would
+  need a new fixture there. The new file copies message-filter.test.mjs's setup (chief plus an
+  `assistant` thread instance, human, reader and tester sessions). Its threads are owned by the
+  business human (`jason`), so the human's `assistant.stop` reaches the run for T2's revoke.
+- **T3** covers the chief's role session and the thread run itself (both `human-required`) and the
+  tester (`tester-refused`, N2).
+- **T4** covers human, reader, tester and chief sessions (N1).
+- **T5** writes the thread's message to the store, as message-filter.test.mjs's put() does. The run's
+  own message.send would also pass through the messaging graph, which T5 doesn't test.
+- **T6/T8 split.** format.test.mjs holds T6's text cases: mixed, empty roles with threads, and no
+  threads argument. The `--json` pin needs main(), so it sits with T8 in tester.test.mjs, whose
+  setup has both stand-in transports. That test also pins the call order: tester `["agents"]`; human
+  `["agents", "thread.claims"]`; human `--json` adds only `agents`. Its JSON deepEquals the broker's
+  own `agents` result.
+- **T7.** The message-filter.test.mjs pin now reads `holder_run` from the owner's `thread.claims`.
+  The old pin read `holder` from `threadsState`.
+
+Manifest (actual):
+
+- packages/bus/src/broker.mjs
+- packages/bus/README.md (a "Thread claims" paragraph at the end of "Agent state")
+- packages/bus/tests/thread-claims.test.mjs (new)
+- packages/bus/tests/message-filter.test.mjs
+- packages/cli/src/cli.mjs
+- packages/cli/src/format.mjs
+- packages/cli/tests/format.test.mjs
+- packages/cli/tests/tester.test.mjs
+- agents/morgana/work/queue-277/BUILD.md
+
+Mutants: M1 (T1, T7), M2 (T2), M3 (T3), M4 (T1, T4), M5 (T5), M6 (T6), M7 (T8). Gate: the touched test
+files run whole, plus other-tree.test.mjs. Then the bus and cli suites and every scripts/test-*.sh.
+Nothing runs before Sage's CLEAR.
+
+Early look (sage-2504, 05:27Z), on c050bb90b: thread-claims.test.mjs failed 5/5. The test's `call`
+helper took any string as a session name, but a run's capability is a string too, so the run's calls
+went out unauthenticated. T1 also compared null-prototype store rows strictly. Both are test bugs, and
+the fix is r2 of the build. On r2, thread-claims 5/5, cli tester 9/9, other-tree 4/4 pass, 0 skipped.
+
+## r3: Duckworth notes N1/N2 (duckworth-0119, ruled sage-2505), for the post-194 rebase round
+
+- **N1.** A human `mosaic agents` no longer fails as a whole when `thread.claims` is refused.
+  cli.mjs prints the role lines, then `thread claims: refused <code>`, and exits 0. The choice of
+  exit 0 follows D1: `agents` stays as it was, and it exited 0 before this row. Only an error with a
+  bus code is caught (the same `^[a-z-]{1,64}$` shape `markRead` checks); any other error still
+  throws. Pinned by a new test in cli tester.test.mjs: a stand-in transport refuses thread.claims
+  with `processing-halted`, the role row prints, then the refusal line. This matches row 278 item 4
+  for the Console. M8 (the catch drops the refusal line, or rethrows) is killed by that test.
+- **N2.** packages/cli/README.md: the usage line gains `[--tester]`, and a bullet describes the
+  `thread` lines, the refusal line, `--json` and `--tester`. host.test.mjs:855 reads this README
+  for a unit file name, which is still there. host.test.mjs joins the gate's whole-file runs.
+
+Manifest adds packages/cli/README.md (10 paths). Nothing here has run yet. It runs whole after the
+rebase onto 194, on Sage's CLEAR.
+
+## r4: rebase onto 0165be266 and Duckworth's delta notes (sage-2587, duckworth-0123)
+
+- **Rebase.** Commits 1-6 are cherry-picked onto refactor 0165be266, which has 194, 236 and 274
+  landed, on morgana/row277-0165. The range-diff is `=` for all six and the patch-ids are unchanged.
+  Four files auto-merged around upstream lines: bus README, broker.mjs, cli README and cli.mjs.
+- **N1 (duckworth-0123).** The N1 catch's rethrow branch had no test, so a mutant that takes every
+  error as a refusal (it would print `refused undefined`) survived. A new cli tester.test.mjs test
+  throws from thread.claims with no code, then with `ECONNRESET`. Each rejects main with the same
+  error and prints nothing. M9 (the code check dropped) is killed by that test.
+- **N2 (duckworth-0123), accepted.** Since 274, the owner's and a reader's thread.claims can include
+  user threads (id, instance, holder run, harness, time; no name, no messages). That is the design
+  join approved in duckworth-0118, with no owner filter, and owner-visible run governance under
+  sage-1368 B1.
+- **N3 (duckworth-0123), for later.** When 264a and 277 meet, thread.claims's latest row per thread
+  goes per session, and thread-claims.test.mjs needs the default session. It is checked in whichever
+  round lands second.
+
+Gate (sage-2590): the touched test files plus user-principal, other-tree and host whole; the bus,
+cli, harness, business and seat suites; every scripts/test-*.sh; M1-M9. The kit prints HEAD and the
+manifest check first. Nothing runs before Sage's CLEAR.

+# Row 202 BUILD: FED R5, `mosaic access list|grant|revoke`
+
+Quackerjack, 2026-10-20. Plan: `PLAN.md` (commit 2d0aa2937). Manifest: `MANIFEST.md` in this directory.
+Brief: `docs/plans/2026-10-20_federation-r1-r2-r5.md`, "Brief: FED R5". Reviewer Duckworth. Gate owner Sage.
+Review record: round 2 approved as duckworth-0041 (commit 2a1d17da7) on 48a3fb96e; viewer carry c204bef73 after it.
+
+## What was built
+
+- `packages/cli/src/access.mjs`: the three verbs, the human proof, the context (`accessContextFor`), the
+  atomic write, the lock and the receipt.
+- `packages/cli/src/cli.mjs`: routes `access` to `accessCommand`.
+- `scripts/mosaic`: sends `access` to the CLI.
+- `packages/cli/README.md`: the verbs, the human proof, the lock, the `instances` limit, the removal order,
+  and the limits on peers and subjects.
+- `packages/cli/tests/access.test.mjs`: 21 tests (round 2; 18 in round 1). Single file, green on this branch.
+
+R1 (`packages/business/src/access.mjs`) is merged in unchanged at 80fe31071, the Duckworth-approved
+candidate. 44e36fc4c, the next commit on that branch, only removes a stray pyc file.
+
+## The lock file (not in PLAN.md; added at Sage's request)
+
+- Path: `<configDir>/access.json.lock`, the access file's path plus `.lock`. Mode 0600.
+- Created with `O_EXCL` (`wx`). The holder writes its pid and a newline into it, then holds it for the
+  read, the check, the temp write and the rename. It is removed in a `finally`.
+- A second writer that finds the lock reads the pid. If the pid is alive (or the pid is reused by a live
+  process), it refuses with `refused: ... being written by another command; try again` (exit 3). Nothing
+  is written.
+- A lock whose pid is gone (`kill(pid, 0)` returns ESRCH) also refuses, and nothing reclaims it. The
+  refusal names the path and the pid. A human checks that no write is running and removes the file. This
+  is the crash case: the holder died mid-write, and a human clears it.
+- An empty lock, or one that is not a pid, refuses. Its holder may still be between create and write. A
+  holder that died in that gap leaves an empty lock; a human removes it.
+
+Reclaim was removed at Sage's ruling (sage-1429, 10-20). It was the one design with a race, so the
+race below is gone, not accepted.
+
+Former limit, now removed: reclaim race. The old design let a writer take a stale lock by unlinking it
+and retaking it. The case that lost: writers A and B both read the same dead pid N. A unlinks the lock
+and takes it. B then unlinks A's live lock and takes its own. Both read the same revision, both write
+it, and the second rename silently replaces the first. The revision check did not catch it, because both
+had read the old revision before either wrote.
+
+Known limits, stated plainly:
+1. A dead holder's lock blocks every write until a human removes it. That is the fail-closed price of
+   no reclaim. The refusal says which pid and which path.
+2. A reused pid reads as alive, so a stale lock refuses. The fix is to remove the file by hand.
+3. The lock is per access file. It does not cover the bus's own reads.
+4. Crash-safety of the write path: the temp file is removed on any failure before or at the rename. The
+   directory is not fsynced after the rename, so a power loss right after a rename can lose the rename.
+   The bytes are never mixed.
+
+Tests for the lock (all in `access.test.mjs`):
+- "a live holder's lock refuses and leaves the file and the lock alone": pid = this process.
+- "an empty or unreadable lock refuses": empty file, and `not-a-pid`.
+- "a lock left by a dead pid refuses, names the pid, and is not reclaimed": a child that has exited. The
+  file, the lock and the receipt are unchanged.
+- "the lock is mode 0600 while held and removed after a refused write".
+
+Tests for the write path and the refusals (added in this round):
+- "a failed rename leaves the old bytes, removes the temp file, and writes no receipt": the fs seam
+  (`deps.fs`) makes `renameSync` throw. Checks the old bytes, no `.access-*.tmp`, no lock, no receipt.
+- "a group-writable access file refuses with exit 3, names the file, and changes nothing": a 0664 file.
+  Exit 3, the file path in the message, nothing written.
+- "an agent or tester caller is refused before the context or the access file is read": `contextFor`
+  throws if called, and the file is 0664. The refusal must come first.
+
+## The human proof, and the bus behavior behind test 10
+
+The proof is one `project.list` call through `humanTransport`. The bus gates it with `#human`
+(`packages/bus/src/broker.mjs`, the `project.list` case at :2319, and `#human` at :377). The call is in
+one function, `proveHuman` in `access.mjs`, for R4 to swap.
+
+Test 10 runs the real `human-cli.mjs` on a scratch bus from agent ancestry (`CLAUDECODE=1` in the child's
+env). The bus refuses. The client reports `outcome-unknown`, not `human-required`, because the bus closes
+the socket on a failed proof and `packages/bus/src/client.mjs:32-33` maps a closed socket to
+`outcome-unknown`. Exit 1 (`busExit`). The test pins that code and asserts the access file and the
+receipt are unchanged.
+
+This is a bus behavior outside R5. It is not changed here. Gizmoduck and Gander own the verifier (row 196).
+Until it changes, a human who hits the agent refusal sees `outcome-unknown`.
+
+## Context
+
+`accessContextFor(system, env)`:
+- `providers`: `system.console.sso.providers[].id`. Row 192's shape (packages/webui/src/sso-config.mjs on
+  row 192's candidate).
+- `ssoSubjects`: each provider's `subjects[].sub`, paired with the provider id. Gizmoduck's design says
+  `console.sso.subjects`; Sage ruled that is shorthand for this (erratum).
+- `peers`: `[]` until row 203 adds the federation key. A grant that names a peer home refuses.
+- `businesses`: `loadBusiness` for each `<configDir>/businesses/*.json`; `human` and the role names as
+  `instances`. A business file that fails to load fails the command.
+
+No `console` key gives empty providers and subjects, so every grant naming a subject refuses. The
+`checkConsole` check from row 192 is not on this branch yet. R5 rebases onto row 192's landing, and then
+reads `console` through `checkConsole`.
+
+## Mutant list (one per refusal; run on Sage's go, before review)
+
+| # | Mutant | Expected kill |
+|---|---|---|
+| M1 | remove the `refuseInsideAgent` call | "an agent caller is refused before the bus is asked" |
+| M2 | remove the `--tester` check | "--tester is refused on every verb" |
+| M3 | the proof's error is swallowed | "a bus that refuses the human proof blocks the write" |
+| M4 | the revision compare is removed | "a stale revision refuses with revision-conflict" |
+| M5 | `takeLock` unlinks a dead-pid lock and retakes it (the reclaim this round removed) | "a lock left by a dead pid refuses, names the pid, and is not reclaimed" |
+| M6 | `pidAlive` always returns true (a dead pid reads as live) | "a lock left by a dead pid refuses, names the pid, and is not reclaimed" |
+| M11 | `writeAtomic` writes straight to access.json, no temp file or rename | "a failed rename leaves the old bytes, removes the temp file, and writes no receipt" |
+| M12 | the BusinessError catch in `accessCommand` is removed | "a group-writable access file refuses with exit 3, names the file, and changes nothing" |
+| M13 | `contextFor()` is called before the agent and tester refusals | "an agent or tester caller is refused before the context or the access file is read" |
+| M7 | `checkAccess` is skipped before the write | "a grant naming an unknown instance is refused before any write" |
+| M8 | the receipt append is removed | "grant writes ... a receipt line" |
+| M9 | a project name is written as given (no lookup) | "a project name resolves to its id" |
+| M10 | the lock is not taken | "a live holder's lock refuses" |
+
+Round 2 closed the direct-write gap: `writeAtomic` takes the fs calls through `deps.fs` (default: the real
+`node:fs` functions), and a rename that throws is tested (M11 is the direct-write mutant). Not yet run:
+the mutant batch, the cli suite and `scripts/test-*.sh`. All wait on Sage's slot.
+
+Round 2 also changed the file's refusal path: a `BusinessError` from `loadAccess` or `loadBusiness` now
+exits 3 with the file path and key path on stderr, no stack trace (Duckworth B1, Sage sage-1437).
+
+## Not done in this row
+
+- `--peers` and the federation key: row 203.
+- `access.reload`: row R4.
+- Gizmoduck's `console.sso.subjects` name: erratum, the flattened shape is used.
+- The suite (`packages/cli` and every `scripts/test-*.sh`) and the mutant batch: on Sage's gate.

+
+## Changes Dewey must review: two focused-run fixes
+
+1. packages/bus/src/broker.mjs, requestHost: the new processingWork guard was
+   initially inserted into the inner refusal logger's try block. That let the
+   original request reach validation, then prevented its refusal being logged
+   while halted, returning storage-unavailable. Move it to the main admission
+   try, before keys/credentials/authority/effects. The refusal logger retains
+   its existing unconditional audit behavior. The new host-admission test now
+   expects processing-halted and proves neither executor method was called.
+   Initial evidence: ../logs/stoprun-focused-packages_bus_tests_processing.test.mjs.log.
+
+2. packages/bus/tests/processing.test.mjs, real socket await test: row 196's
+   asynchronous kernel-peer subprocess now precedes dispatch. The old 5 ms
+   server deadline could fire during that subprocess, before the processing
+   await branch extends it. This test already stubs authenticateHuman; give it
+   a deterministic peerReader too, with read and close, and assert exactly two
+   proof reads for halt/resume. Keep the 5 ms ordinary timeout and 30 ms halt
+   delay. Production peer discovery, proof/transport and timeout behavior are
+   unchanged. The test still fails if the async branch timeout is removed.
+   The first fixture retry omitted close(); its teardown failed and left its
+   own server running. Only that verified test group 2831504 was killed. Both
+   unsuccessful logs remain. Corrected evidence:
+   ../logs/stoprun-focused-bus-processing-fixed-2.log (14/14).
+
+These are diagnosed code/fixture mistakes, not declared flakes. No failed log
+was removed and no existing security assertion was weakened.
+
+## Focused evidence, sage-2250
+
+Ran singly on 41b0cf755 because none of row 254's seven paths overlaps ours.
+Sage-2265 carries this evidence to dcd8d4dda after the empty 79-path diff.
+Scripted busy check exited 0 before the first file. Every test runner used its
+own process group, 180 s timeout, scratch TMPDIR
+/mnt/storage/scratch/rocko-r191-tmp and DOCKER_HOST=unix:///nonexistent.sock.
+There was no Docker, browser, package suite, shell suite or mutant run.
+
+| File | Final passed | Failed | Skipped |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|
+| processing-control/tests/stop-run.test.mjs | 12 | 0 | 0 |
+| processing-control/tests/runtimes.test.mjs | 10 | 0 | 0 |

+focused-run-table-final.json and include only each final successful file log.
+Earlier bus failures are reported above, not silently included as green.
+Approximate run span 23:59Z–00:00:41Z; start second was not recorded.
+Cwd-scoped node/chromium sweep was empty at 00:00:41Z; slot returned to Sage.
+
+## stopRun implementation
+
+The export resolves host-owned run identity even without a bound bus claim.
+It checks boot/start/group identity immediately before each signal, preserves
+verified member anchors, waits 5 s before KILL and observes for 2 s. Signals
+are acknowledgements only, never invented. Root/business/run cache joins the
+same Promise. Atomic hard-link publication plus durable exclusive claim
+coordinates other host processes. First owner/reason/deadline/result persists;
+completed retries never re-escalate or overwrite that result. Halt links its
+generation to the first fire receipt without relabelling the runtime's stop
+cause. A later verified exit is separate immutable observation evidence.
+The seam writes no bus events. Honker maps killed/alive to lifecycle events.
+
+No global unit, live config, binding, token, slot file or live store touched.
+No schema migration. First activation still requires stopping old processing
+before trusted initialization and aligning the copy/image/read-only mount in
+Mos's window. Existing result.json evidence remains write-once.
+
+## Integration and outstanding work
+
+The 12 latest-base conflict resolutions are listed in STATUS.md. New landed
+host execution, publish and library sync paths are now wrapped in processing
+scopes; host credential cancellation composes with its existing revocation
+signal. This changes only files already owned by 191. Those wider integrations
+still need the full owning-file/package gate and mutant evidence.
+
+Fifteen proposed per-run mutants preflight exact once in stoprun-mutants.json;
+none has been applied or run. The broader kill-switch acceptance/guard table
+and executable mutant runner are still being completed. No kill count or
+review-ready claim is made. Ask Sage for the later CLEAR when the packet is
+complete, as sage-2259/2262 requires.
+
+### Gate preparation after the focused slot
+
+The published product implementation is unchanged. Three uncommitted test-file
+strengthenings are saved in post-inspection-tests.patch: effects.test.mjs adds a
+4-second bounded abort expectation for the watcher mutant; Discord's early
+start fence is also checked before a malformed journal can be read; WebUI's
+body limit now uses oversized valid JSON, and a direct-handler test isolates
+its own origin/site guards from serve's outer fence. These edits are unrun and
+are not included in the published 9971ac5f manifest. They must pass before a
+new candidate is cut. Thus 62/62 is prior focused evidence, not a claim for
+these changed test bytes.
+
+The complete proposed table has 70 exact-once sites in all-mutants.json,
+including expected killing test names. Static preflight is clean; no mutant
+has been applied. run-mutants.py validates preflight, uses new process groups,
+tracks only its own verified descendant identities, kills those groups on
+timeout, checks named TAP failures, and restores all source bytes in finally.
+A timeout or wrong-test failure is not counted as a valid kill. The table and
+runner are prepared evidence, not a kill result. The requested nine-package,
+ten-shell, seventy-mutant gate is in gate-plan.json; Sage CLEAR is pending.
+
+## Published test-strengthening commit and full gate (sage-2269/2271)
+
+81889b58d57889b12a584aa225e1ac26e90e5700 is one fast-forward commit on
+7aa18b0f6, same branch rocko/row191-stoprun-dcd8-20261022. It commits the
+three test changes saved in post-inspection-tests.patch; that patch remains
+historical evidence, not an uncommitted candidate. Product implementation is
+unchanged. Earlier manifest 9971ac5f belongs to 7aa18b0f6; candidate.txt now
+names the manifest for 81889b58d. Sage published this tip before granting CLEAR.
+
+The full gate checks HEAD equality and clean product bytes before its first
+file. Changed test files run singly, then nine packages, all ten shell suites,
+then seventy mutants. Each step gates on its exit status and retains its full
+log. run-gate.sh uses pipefail and an EXIT trap for the label-verified Compose
+network rocko-r191-gate_default, project rocko-r191-gate. TMPDIR is
+/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/rocko-r191-gate. Docker is available only for test-task
+and test-release; other steps use unix:///nonexistent.sock. Live provider calls
+are disabled. No daemon, socket, volume or live configuration changes.
+
+Gate start: 2026-10-22T00:18:00Z. Results remain pending until gate-results.json
+and mutant-results.json provide actual exit statuses and counts.
+
+### First full-gate stop and fixture correction (sage-2274)
+
+The 81889b58d run stopped at its first failure, 00:18:00Z–00:19:21Z.
+27 files completed: 268 passed, 1 failed, 0 skipped. Packages, shells and
+mutants did not start. Full logs/results are in gate-attempt-81889/.
+The tester refusal test's fixture requested tester:true over TCP, which row
+196 now refuses before route handling. This is a stale fixture, not a flake.
+The correction uses the existing startTesterSocket helper, a private fixture
+root, socketPath requests, TESTER_ORIGIN and no human identity header. Every
+assertion remains; the request now reaches the intended processing refusal
+rather than failing listener setup or the outer identity fence. A grep of all
+changed test files found no other tester:true TCP setup. The cwd node/chromium
+sweep returned []; no Docker test workload ran. Commit c78f48946 is a single
+fast-forward test-only fix on 81889b58d, authorized by sage-2274. The complete
+gate restarts from its first single file only after Sage publishes this tip.
+

+### Second attempt stopped; no further changes (sage-2275)
+
+Run 00:21:03Z–00:23:50Z on published c78f48946: all 27 changed singles
+269/269, processing-control 61/61, bus 646/646. The CLI package emitted 26
+failed subtests before its verified own runner group 3119310 was stopped.
+Its result is interrupted, not a complete package count. Six gate-lane image
+checks refuse because scripts/testing/lane-image.mjs pins the old four COPY
+lines and 191 adds processing-control to Containerfile. Twenty launch-account,
+launch-limit-checks, launch-limits and launch-routes cases hit
+processing-uninitialized on fixture roots with no explicit control init.
+No edits, retries, later packages, shells, Docker test workloads or mutants
+followed this second failure. Parent runner exited; cwd node/chromium sweep
+returned [] at 00:23:50Z. Slot returned to Sage at 00:24:05Z with the exact
+failures and a request for scope on image-manifest and fixture initialization.
+This is an integration failure, not a declared flake or a passing gate.
+
+## Image-input manifest and launcher fixture scope (sage-2278, sage-2282)
+
+Commit eb3abba12 is one fast-forward commit on c78f48946. This is an image-input
+manifest change: scripts/testing/lane-image.mjs now pins the exact Containerfile
+COPY of packages/processing-control/src/state.mjs and entrypoint.mjs and hashes
+both named source paths, without a wildcard. Its only two changed lines add
+those inputs. Without them, a lane could reuse a stale image after a reader or
+entrypoint change. The image test fixtures copy both files and each has its
+own receipt-invalidating test. Mutant KS56 drops state.mjs from the hash list;
+its named killer is the state.mjs receipt-invalidating test. Static preflight
+is 71 sites / 0 errors. No new run result is claimed before CLEAR.
+
+The launch-account, launch-limit-checks, launch-limits and launch-routes fixtures
+now explicitly call initializeControl(f.dataRoot) before constructing their
+launchers. Existing assertion lines are byte-identical. A new launch-limit-checks
+test leaves initialization off and asserts processing-uninitialized, no
+mayLaunch/authorizeLaunch, and no registered session. A live root gets control
+initialized by the bus broker. The re-pin order is bus start before any seat
+launch; a launcher started before that refuses. This supplements the existing
+window precondition to stop old processing before the first trusted init.
+
+Sage-2282 supersedes the test-only image ruling: lane-image.mjs is a product
+blob, so mos-1200 carries no earlier results. The complete plan restarts from
+the first single file, all nine packages, all ten shells and all 71 mutants
+only after publication and Sage CLEAR. Earlier attempts remain in their
+separate gate-attempt directories; neither is a passing full gate.

+## Discord fixture init and all-package static sweep (sage-2294)
+
+Commit e6800380dc0765ce3f1477044e2ce4f773ebb43c is test-only and fast-forwards eb3abba12.
+Only binding.test.mjs and recover.test.mjs change: one initializeControl import
+and one initializeControl(dep.dataRoot) call in each affected CLI fixture.
+Every original assertion line is retained. Product blobs are unchanged.
+FIXTURE-SWEEP.md and fixture-sweep.json enumerate 338 source call-site hits,
+with the two fixes and the already-initialized chains, plus the screens for
+rootless optional contexts and read-only/usage CLI calls. The generator reads
+repository source only and invokes no fixture. Deliberate missing/deleted/
+corrupt-state refusal tests remain negative; no shared helper masks them.

+then the never-run WebUI/tasks/seat/project/library packages, every shell suite
+and all 71 mutants. No result is claimed for the new test bytes before CLEAR.

+results, not fresh runs on e6800380d.
+
+Four WebUI failures are retained in gate-logs/package-webui.log:
+- board-held.test.mjs:91: processing's config/state GETs omit redirect:manual.
+- board-held.test.mjs:194 and send-browser.test.mjs:58: processing's independent
+  hash/focus/interval refresh continues to read after the shell signs out.
+- shell.test.mjs:104: the added control bar makes the short desktop page 1095px
+  high at a 1000px viewport. Its new height is not accounted for by the existing
+  frame/sidebar/footer layout.
+
+Static diagnosis: processing.js ignores the existing body.signed-out state and
+mosaic-signed-out event that app.js and bus.js already share. Its GETs also lack
+manual redirect handling. processing.css adds an external bar while shell.css's
+frame minimum and sidebar heights still subtract only bar-h and foot-h. These
+are product integration defects; no assertions were weakened and no fix was
+made after the failed step. Sage received the table and recommendations.
+
+One TAP skip: the editor rebuild requires exactly esbuild 0.28.2; installed
+shared node_modules has 0.28.1. Full skip line is in tap-skips.json. No shell
+suite ran, so there are no ^skip shell lines (skip-lines.txt remains empty).
+No tasks/seat/project/library suite, shell Docker workload or mutant ran after
+WebUI failed. Parent runner exited, EXIT cleanup completed, cwd node/chromium
+sweep returned [] at 01:29:00Z, source tree is clean, and slot returned to Sage.
+No retries or source edits were made. This is not a passing gate.
+
+## Console shared sign-out and bounded desktop layout (sage-2317)
+
+Commit 8e1f55c1db6a096e227b5114cd13a7142493b112, fast-forward on e6800380d, changes only the
+processing assets and their owning two tests. Current 87-path manifest:
+d3b014e6a0e9e547a29ae780eb27b1c0e57cc7b0e73dc49954abbff623929f41.
+
+All three processing fetch sites use redirect:manual. responseBody dispatches
+the existing mosaic-signed-out event for an opaque redirect, or its signIn
+variant for exactly 401/sign-in required. No independent sign-out state is
+added: refresh/action guards read body.signed-out. The existing event cancels
+the interval, invalidates pending reads, clears stale state and disables
+writes. In-flight answers cannot restore state after sign-out. Initial work
+waits for DOMContentLoaded because this deferred asset precedes app.js in the
+HTML and needs its shared sign-out listener registered first. app.js/bus.js
+and their proof baselines remain untouched.
+
+The CSS keeps the control bar in normal document flow. On desktop, the frame
+flexes into the remaining viewport rather than imposing another full-height
+minimum below the bar. Fixed navigation retains the shell's command/footer
+bounds and existing responsive column widths. Mobile retains natural flow.
+No short-page, sidebar or footer assertion is changed; rendering remains to
+be verified on the next authorized gate, not claimed from static checks.
+
+The VM fixture models the existing body class, document events and DOM ready;
+its original assertion lines are unchanged. Six new browser cases cover config,
+state and POST opaque redirects and sign-in-required replies, manual redirect
+requests, interval cancellation and no subsequent fetch from forced refreshes
+or clicks. KS57 removes manual redirect from the config GET; KS58 removes the
+refresh signed-out guard. Both name the config-redirect browser case as their
+killer. Static preflight: 73 exact-once sites / 0 errors. Syntax checks pass;
+no owning test or mutant has run on this commit.
+
+A product blob changes, so sage-2317/mos-1200 carries nothing. The next CLEAR
+runs all changed files singly, all nine package suites, all ten shell suites
+with Docker available and all 73 mutants. The editor rebuild's esbuild0.28.1
+vs pinned0.28.2 skip remains host drift and is reported separately. Earlier
+failed attempts remain immutable in gate-attempt-* directories.

+verified. Short mktemp TMPDIR /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/gxbC; named Compose
+project rocko-r191-gate. Nothing carried. 32 changed files completed:
+313 passed, 6 failed, 0 skipped. All six new processing-browser sign-out
+cases stop at their common precondition, processingTimers length2 vs1.
+The original two browser cases pass. Their recorder attributes every 5000ms
+interval to processing, but app.js:307 already arms its own freshness timer.
+The intended processing interval is at processing.js:87. These new cases have
+not yet exercised sign-out or killed KS57/KS58, so no behavior proof is claimed.
+
+The gate stopped at this first red step. No package, shell, Docker workload
+or mutant ran; the esbuild rebuild was not reached. Runner exited, EXIT cleanup
+completed and cwd node/chromium sweep returned [] at 02:19:34Z. No source edit
+or retry followed the failure. Sage received the exact failure and a proposed
+test-only caller-attribution filter with the assertions unchanged. This is a
+fixture error, not a passing gate or a declared flake.
+
+## Timer recorder attribution correction (sage-2345)
+
+Commit 4db8b57785895bc62f5f015468a69515da7fc77f, fast-forward on eafcbd3e7, is a one-line
+test-only correction in processing-browser.test.mjs. Cause: app.js:307's
+freshness interval is also 5000ms, and the recorder incorrectly counted it as
+a processing interval. The recorder now requires the processing.js caller
+stack. Every assertion remains byte-identical, including exactly one timer
+before sign-out and zero after it. A second 5000ms interval from processing.js
+would still be counted and fail the exactly-one assertion. No product byte
+changes, and no test or mutant ran for this correction.

+
+
+### mos-1248 / sage-2363: desktop viewport allocation (unrun static candidate)
+
+The second red on 0f8235277 was shell.test.mjs:380 (1062 versus 1000).
+The shell gives .frame a viewport-based minimum at packages/webui/src/public/shell.css:135;
+processing.css:12-14 replaced that minimum but used a column flex body with only
+min-height:100vh, so the new bar was not allocated a bounded share of the viewport.
+The desktop body now uses explicit grid rows for the command bar, controls, optional
+banner, frame and footer. The frame row is minmax(min-content,1fr): it takes the
+remaining short-page space while long content may grow the document. No clipping,
+overflow suppression, fixed body height, test viewport change or assertion removal.
+The existing shell.test.mjs:380 equality stays byte-identical. Added assertions
+check actual processing-bar visibility, positive height, viewport placement and
+no document scroll at 1440x1000; the existing 1440x420 long-page checks remain.
+KS59 reverts processing.css to 0f8235277's bytes and must fail that same shell
+browser test. Total: 74 planned mutants. No test or mutant has run on this fix.
+Webby must statically review this delta before Sage opens the full no-carry gate.
+
+
+### Correction after Webby B1 (webby-0104, 2026-10-22 03:00Z)
+
+The cause stated in the mos-1248/sage-2363 note above is withdrawn.
+processing.css loads after shell.css and already overrides the frame minimum.
+With the tree fixed and inspector hidden, the remaining floor is the Board's
+main content. The grid min-content row preserves that floor, so 5cd32f4c1
+is not an accepted layout fix. Its static review is CHANGES at Webby's
+REVIEW-layout.md, commit e2e7c60e5. No run established a new layout measurement.
+Next step requires a granted fixture probe for main/control heights and an
+owner layout ruling; no further product change or gate is authorized yet.
+Existing shell assertions remain unchanged.
+
+
+### Static nav placement: mos-1249/mos-1250, sage-2383/2385/2386, webby-0106/0108
+
+Fast-forward on 5cd32f4c1; the rejected grid is removed. The unchanged labeled
+region is now the first child of nav.tree, before its Console h2. The banner
+stays at its original body location with every id, role, label and shipped
+string unchanged. No processing.js change and no runtime reparenting.
+At >=760 the tree is the same fixed box, with the same width breakpoints and
+ordinary overflow:auto. The controls are non-shrinking and non-sticky; they
+scroll with overflowing nav links (sage-2386 withdraws persistent visibility).
+Below760 the region takes a full flex line before Console/Projects. Its mobile
+location changes from before .frame to first in the static nav; the banner
+therefore precedes it in a halted mobile view. Banner behavior itself is unchanged.
+Specificity (0,3,0) resets .btn margin/order and .small margin/basis, leaving
+the shell rules unchanged. No content is shortened and no overflow is hidden.
+
+Correct height arithmetic (Webby B1): page=max(innerHeight,86+C), where C is
+main content height. Controls consume space within the existing nav box, not
+another body row. The old failing layout was max(innerHeight,86+barHeight+C).
+The halted banner remains a body row; Sage tracks that separately.
+
+Candidate-test design change at processing-ui.test.mjs:67 under mos-1250.
+Old assertion:
+```js
+  assert.ok(html.indexOf('id="processing-controls"') < html.indexOf('<div class="frame">'));
+```
+New assertion text:
+```js
+  const controlsAt = html.indexOf('id="processing-controls"');
+  const mainAt = html.indexOf('<main id="main"'), inspectorAt = html.indexOf('<aside class="inspector"');
+  assert.ok(controlsAt >= 0 && controlsAt < mainAt, 'controls are outside and before #main');
+  assert.ok(!(inspectorAt < controlsAt && controlsAt < html.indexOf('</aside>', inspectorAt)),
+    'controls are outside aside.inspector');
+```
+Reason: the bar moves into the frame's first column under mos-1249 while
+remaining outside route-specific #main and aside.inspector. This is a change
+to our unlanded candidate assertion, not a landed assertion.
+
+All existing shell assertions stay unchanged. Added bar-inside-tree assertion
+and diagnostic height output. New processing browser coverage checks 400px
+Stop order=0, visibility, focus and position above Projects; also on-load
+visibility/focus at1440x1000,1440x420,800x420. Debug logs report controls/tree
+heights at those desktop sizes and main height; Sage judges controls over half
+the 334px nav at1440x420 before the window. No run yet.
+
+Mutant delta: KS59 now reverts the complete layout (HTML and CSS together);
+KS60 hides the controls; KS61 moves them into #main; KS62 drops the (0,3,0)
+button reset. Total77. Every new site has its named killing test.

+03:44:56Z–04:01:29Z. All35touched files passed336/0/0; nine packages

+plus156queue node tests passed; the canonical-root queue check and two
+explicit live-provider exclusions are saved in skip-lines.txt. See
+GATE-RESULTS.md for per-suite counts and mutant table.
+SR01–SR07 killed. SR08 timed out at90seconds without named assertion failure
+(TAP header only); runner restored all88candidate blobs and stopped. The69
+later mutants did not run. SR08 is not counted as killed. Cwd sweep[] and
+owned network cleanup completed; slot clear sent Sage04:02:12Z.
+Saved mutation, timeout policy lines64–89 and shell/skip table sent Sage in
+response to sage-2418. No source edit or retry; no in-review move. Await
+Mos ruling and explicit Sage CLEAR before any control/replay/resume.
+
+
+### SR08 timeout policy: mos-1259 / sage-2423 (2026-10-22 04:07Z)
+
+Cause confirmed by Mos: runtimes.mjs:333 loops on now() <= deadline, while
+stop-run.test.mjs:106-108 gives the second host a fixed fake clock with real
+sleep. Removing the join branch enters the stop loop without advancing that
+clock. Original SR08 log contains TAP header only; original timeout record
+stays immutable. Mos permits separate classification as killed-by-timeout
+only after the unmutated same whole test file passes the same90second
+harness in this resumed run. **Control result: not run; awaiting CLEAR.**
+No assertion kill is claimed for SR08.
+
+Runner review requested from Dewey, Sage copied. SHA256 of run-mutants.py:
+fe0d360f86d86ab2df967da5338479c593c27c88d06eb38a1389d99a08489369. Diff:runner-mos1259.diff; baseline:
+run-mutants.before-mos1259.py. Shared execution harness uses90seconds, own
+process groups, verified descendant cleanup and restored source bytes. A
+control must pass every test with exit0, no not-ok/skip/cancel/fail. Its record
+binds invocation id, candidate HEAD/manifest and test hash; all88candidate
+blobs verified before and after control, and before each mutation. The
+approved historical SR08 classification and69-site SR09+resume use separate
+files so the original seven kills and timeout evidence remain intact.
+Assertion kills and timeout kills have separate counters. No control for the
+same file in this invocation means a timeout stops; survivors and invalid
+failures stop too. Every timeout gets a cause/control record before review.
+
+No product/test change, no control/mutant execution. Wait for independent
+runner approval and Sage CLEAR. Green suites carry only on unchanged0fa7bf421
+and manifest0bcbf337. Test clock fix is deferred to Vikunja502 as Mos ruled.
+
+
+### Independent runner approval: dewey-0789 (2026-10-22 04:11:20Z)
+
+Dewey APPROVES the frozen fe0d360f86d86ab2df967da5338479c593c27c88d06eb38a1389d99a08489369
+runner, static only. Use only the proposed --control-file stop-run.test.mjs
+--adjudicate-timeout SR08 --resume-from SR09 invocation. A positional-id or
+full run would overwrite the original evidence and is not this resume.
+
+Report the complete tally as7 prior assertion kills (old status killed),
+plus SR08 separately adjudicated by timeout after control passes, plus69
+resumed sites. The summary file counts only this invocation. No control or
+resume result exists yet; Sage CLEAR remains required.
+
+Classification change: the reviewed runner recognizes indented not-ok lines
+with ^\s* rather than only top-level lines. Controls therefore reject nested
+failures too, and mutant assertion kills still require the named pattern in
+a failing test name. SR01–SR07 evidence was classified by the original runner.
+
+Historical SR08 has no HEAD field. Its binding to0fa7bf421 relies on the saved
+commit.txt/log timestamps and the new candidate HEAD+88blob check, not a
+retroactively invented HEAD field in the old result. Preserve this provenance
+in the adjudication report. Any newly detected timeout needs a concrete cause
+before review; the generic placeholder is not accepted review evidence.
+
+
+### Control and resume: sage-2427, stopped on KS43
+
+Control/resume began04:13:44Z; last saved mutant result2026-10-22T04:14:08Z; process

+in0.459seconds. The reviewed runner adjudicated original SR08 separately
+as killed-by-timeout under mos-1259. The immutable original SR08 row/log
+stay unchanged; adjudication binds the control, exact cause, current HEAD
+and manifest. Historical HEAD provenance remains as Dewey N4 described.
+
+Resume stopped at KS43, not retried. It removes the inner processingHTTP

+
+Static diagnosis only: KS43 selects processing.test.mjs:52's outer-server
+fence test. The unchanged direct-handler test at:95 already isolates this
+origin guard from serve's outer refusal. Its pattern was not selected. Sent

+yet; no claim the direct-handler test kills it until the run proves it.

+
+Original pattern `processing write fences refuse` selected processing.test:52.
+KS43 survived with1passing test and no writer call, preserved in
+resume-mutant-results.json and resume-mutant-logs/KS43.tap. The serve-level
+test cannot isolate the handler guard: outer fences and later refusal can
+mask its removal. No product defect or new kill is claimed from static read.
+New pattern: `processing handler independently refuses wrong origin and cross-site before its writer`,
+the existing direct processingHTTP test at:95-107 with valid user/site/content
+headers, asserted403 and no writer call. Only KS43's pattern changed in the

+### KS43 retarget run: sage-2436, stopped on KS44 invalid mutation
+
+Run began04:21:06Z; KS43 is killed by the named direct-handler assertion.
+KS44 then fails import with SyntaxError Unexpected token catch at
+processing-http.mjs:40. The failing TAP name is the test file, not the
+selected test, so runner records invalid-failure and stops without a kill.
+Evidence remains in retarget-mos1261/console.log,resume-mutant-results.json
+and resume-mutant-logs/KS43.tap,KS44.tap. No original evidence overwritten.
+
+Cause: our KS44 mutation uses `// no body bound` to replace an inline
+`if (size > 1024) throw Error();` in a one-line for-await body. The comment
+swallows the remaining chunks.push and closing brace. This is malformed
+mutation metadata, not an observed product failure. No metadata correction
+or retry yet. Proposed to Sage/Mos: replace only the new text with `void 0;`,
+then independent review and a new CLEAR for KS44+18 on unchanged candidate.

+
+Run began04:27:45Z; KS44–KS53 are10named assertion kills. KS54 then timed out
+at90.073seconds. Its log contains the expected dependency-list assertion:
+"the runtime refuses an invalid adapter and closes a valid one" at
+bus/tests/tasks.test.mjs:263. The mutation drops processing from runtime.mjs
+tasks factory deps. The test opens runtime then asserts before close at:265;
+a failing assertion skips the close and leaves Node alive. No same-file
+control ran in this invocation, so this is timeout-without-control, not a
+kill. No assertion or timeout kill is claimed for KS54.
+
+Raw resume result's generic cause sentence says a control passed, which is
+incorrect: its control:null and timeout-without-control status establish the
+opposite. The raw evidence remains unchanged; the concrete cause and

+# Row279: stopRun deadline final observation
+
+Scope: sage-2512, mos-1269; brief docs/plans/2026-10-22_stoprun-deadline.md.
+Base f40f2e770. Reviewer Dewey; gate owner Sage. V502 stays separate.
+
+## Cause and smallest change
+
+The loop's precondition now()<=deadline can skip the existing final status
+read when a sleep wakes beyond deadline. Use for(;;) so the existing
+now()>=deadline branch is the only time exit. Change that loop header only;
+all record/identity/ended exits and result mapping remain byte-identical.
+The old trailing fallback remains unreachable in the fixed loop. M1 restores
+only the old header and thereby restores the complete old fall-through path.
+
+## Regression and evidence plan
+
+Add one test to stop-run.test.mjs, preserving existing tests. Its fake sleep
+advances requested duration plus1ms, so the last sleep crosses the deadline.
+Its signal stub records TERM/KILL and returns success without killing the
+always-live fixture process. Expect both signals, time>7000ms and alive.
+The old loop should fail only the alive assertion with unknown.
+
+Ask Sage CLEAR before any run, including the expected regression red. Then
+apply the one-line fix, run the touched whole file and processing-control
+package as granted, and kill M1 with that same named regression. Busy check,
+short scratch TMPDIR,deadDocker,owned process groups,timeouts,restore,sweep.
+No live state,units,store,provider,browser,Docker or V502 changes.
+
+Packet includes base,patch,candidate hashes,regression/gate/mutant logs and
+exact source-diff check. Commit candidate and packet on the new branch only
+after authorized checks. No token is available; Sage publishes as jarvis.
+The business/CLI suites remain Sage's landing gate unless separately granted.
+
+## Authorized run and result
+
+Claim rev 3138, op rocko-279-start-r1. Sage granted this exact sequence in
+sage-2516 (2026-10-22T05:55:21Z). Runs: 05:56:03Z to 05:58:03Z.
+
+| Step | Pass | Fail | Skip | Result |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
+| Regression on unfixed base | 0 | 1 | 0 | Expected assertion: unknown versus alive |
+| stop-run.test.mjs whole | 13 | 0 | 0 | Green |
+| processing-control package whole | 62 | 0 | 0 | Green |
+| M1 old loop | 0 | 1 | 0 | Killed by the named regression, unknown versus alive |
+
+M1's killer is `a sleep past the stop deadline still observes an alive run
+after both signals`. It exits 1 with that assertion, never a syntax error or
+timeout. Logs and results.json retain the intentional failures separately.
+Green runs total 75 passes (the whole-file tests are also part of the package).
+No skips. All commands used a short scratch TMPDIR, a dead Docker socket and
+fixture-only configuration. Each node command ran in its own process group
+with a 120-second timeout. No timeout occurred. Final cwd sweep: empty.
+The source restoration and exact one-line product scope are checked in
+source-scope-check.json. The trailing unknown return stays unchanged and is
+unreachable after the fix. Business and CLI suites remain Sage's owner gate.
+Slot returned to Sage at 05:58:03Z. No live action or V502 change.

+# Slim packet and full-evidence location
+
+This packet keeps the build note, candidate manifest and patch, summaries,
+per-run counts/durations/exit statuses, mutant definitions and cleanup
+records. Raw TAP logs, per-attempt config/log trees, diagnostic byte dumps,
+runner scripts and transient TMPDIR notes remain only in the full packet.
+References below to those files resolve at the full evidence commit.
+
+Full evidence is retained permanently at commit
+`d6c924764d387ea320365c4bb160b4b57ed8d635` on
+`origin/rocko/row280-da5d-20261022`, under
+`agents/rocko/work/queue-280/`. Its 3,531-entry inventory SHA256 is
+`7d155092cb6edb547dbb7c8ba2fbabb1dd74f966c5c20965ef4fe6af2e7121b8`.
+The full branch is retained; this slim packet does not replace its evidence.
+The inventory in this directory describes only this slim packet.
+
+Sage-2541 requested this doc-only follow-up on b765f5cb8 after the green
+owner gate: bus 656/0/0, grant-executor 41/0/0, host-run 26/0/0 (#1785 c30431).
+No source or test byte changes and no additional test run.
+
+## Portability limit and carry notes
+
+Duckworth N2: M2's demonstrated kill holds only while the host's ephemeral
+range has lo <= 32768 <= hi. On another range, the picker test still checks
+the outside-range property, but the old-picker mutant may not be killed by
+a fixed sample. The evidence here applies to this host's 32768-60999 range.
+
+For the next row touching scratch-sshd.mjs, carry these non-blocking notes:
+- N3: add one helper comment line naming MOSAIC_SSHD_EVIDENCE.
+- N4: remove the double blank lines in both owning test files.
+
+These are follow-ups, not changes to the tested candidate in this packet.

+
+# Row 280: scratch sshd owns its port
+
+Design before code; Sage assignment sage-2530, mos-1270. Base
+`da5d3651d75bff113b27d91abefc824c077dabbe`. Claim rev 3148,
+`rocko-280-start-r1`. Reviewer Duckworth; gate owner Sage.
+
+## Proposed change
+
+Both helpers currently return on `listening(port)` alone
+(grant-executor.test.mjs:86 and host-run.test.mjs:91). A foreign listener
+can satisfy that probe while our daemon fails its bind. Move only their
+common launch/retry/readiness loop and port selection into a shared test
+helper, `packages/bus/tests/scratch-sshd.mjs`; retain their distinct key,
+authorized-key and command-stub setup in their existing files.
+
+For each of the existing five attempts, write a fresh, attempt-specific
+sshd log, start the child, and accept only after all three checks hold:
+a successful loopback connect, the exact `Server listening on 127.0.0.1
+port N.` line from this attempt's log, and the child's exitCode/signalCode
+still null after the asynchronous connect. No previous attempt's log can
+prove a later attempt. Early exit or failed bind advances to a fresh pick;
+kill and await an unsuccessful child before retry. Exhaustion keeps the
+existing `scratch sshd did not start` error, never a skip. Register cleanup
+for the successful child as well.
+
+Read and validate `/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range`. Select uniformly
+from eligible ports 1024 through 65535 outside the inclusive range, refusing
+invalid input or an empty eligible set. No fixed 32768 assumption. Expose a
+first-attempt port override only to the regression, then use the normal picker.
+
+In each owning file, a regression opens a plain TCP listener, supplies that
+occupied port for attempt one, and asserts the helper rejects it and returns
+a different port. The helper's log/liveness proof still governs that returned
+port. Register TCP listener cleanup before awaiting startup.
+Add a deterministic picker assertion using injected random samples spanning
+[0,1); every selected port must be unprivileged and outside the actual proc
+range. M2 restores the old picker. If the actual host range makes M2 escape
+this assertion, record it and ask Duckworth to adjudicate as the brief allows.
+
+## X5 closure
+
+DEFERRED.md:311-321 binds the `sleep 30` after the grant in G22/X5.
+Use the fixture's existing fake-command PATH: a `sleep` stub delegates every
+other argument to /usr/bin/sleep, but for 30 waits in short intervals only
+while its scratch directory exists. The existing `sleep 30` argv, grant,
+sudo-log assertion and revoke assertions stay unchanged. Remote cleanup no
+longer leaves a 30-second child after the fixture directory is removed.
+Append a closing line to the DEFERRED entry; do not rewrite its history.
+
+## Evidence and slot request plan
+
+No run before Sage CLEAR. First run the new occupied-port regressions red
+against the old acceptance, then green after the helper change. Run both
+whole files, M1 (old connect-only acceptance) and M2 (old random picker),
+with each killing test named. Do not classify a timeout or syntax error as
+an assertion kill. Save process-group timeout output and restore hashes.
+
+After the whole-file durations are known, refine the repeat estimate.
+Provisional estimate: allow 60-90 minutes for both 30-run whole-file repeats
+under continuous CLI-suite load, with per-run counts and elapsed time saved.
+The load and repeats are intentional concurrency within one granted slot;
+all other commands stay sequential. Both files must complete all 30 without
+timeout, and the CLI load must remain green. Any unexpected red stops for
+Sage/Mos. Use a fresh short scratch TMPDIR, dead Docker socket, no live
+configuration, no Docker or browser, and kill owned process groups on timeout.
+Sweep owned node and sshd/stub processes and restore candidate hashes before
+returning the slot. Sage runs the whole bus suite in the owner gate.
+
+Owned paths: the two existing test files, the shared test helper,
+`docs/plans/DEFERRED.md`, and this packet. No product change, no live action.
+
+## Phase 1 runner setup correction
+
+The initial red-grant invocation at 07:22:02Z ran no test: packet runner
+parents[5] selected the scratch parent instead of the worktree. The invalid
+record and log stay unchanged. Sage-2534 approved parents[4], a git-root
+and test-file existence preflight, and a fresh CLEAR. No source or test
+byte changed for this correction; it is not a test red.
+
+## Accepted design conditions and first test stop
+
+Sage-2533 and duckworth-0120 approved the design. C1 samples are
+[0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.6384, 0.75, 0.999999]; M2 uses rand(), never Math.random().
+C2 checks attempt-zero's config names the occupied port and its log has no
+listening proof for that port. C3's 30/60-second stub delegates other
+arguments to absolute /usr/bin/sleep, so hold-add/remove's 0.05 sleeps do
+not recurse. The same stub covers host-run's remote long sleeps (N1).
+Attempt logs are sshd-N.log; exhaustion names the final log (N2).
+
+After sage-2534's runner correction, both old-acceptance regression runs
+failed exactly on returned port equaling the occupied listener port.
+The first green regression then failed: no accepted sshd after five
+attempts (07:22:56Z–07:23:09Z, 12.193 s), while the picker assertion passed.
+The exact log comparison may be rejecting line framing, but this is only a
+hypothesis: fixture cleanup removed the raw attempt logs. Stopped without
+retry and requested diagnostic CLEAR to capture the logs before cleanup.
+No later whole-file run or mutant was executed. Slot returned 07:23:34Z;
+own cwd node/sshd sweep is empty. This evidence is not a passing gate.
+
+## Confirmed log framing and correction
+
+Sage-2535 granted a diagnostic rerun and the conditional CR-only correction.
+The saved diagnostic TAP and diagnostic-bytes.json prove the occupied-port
+bind refusal, then four listening lines with trailing hex 0d before newline.
+Only the comparison changed: the exact expected line, optionally followed
+by one CR, is accepted. No trim or substring match is used. The temporary
+dump is removed. Both focused files pass 2/2 after this correction.
+The earlier diagnostic red is retained as build evidence, not hidden.
+
+## Phase 1 complete
+
+Whole grant-executor: 41/41 in 20.673 s; whole host-run: 26/26 in
+14.367 s. Focused regressions: 2/2 in each file. No skips or timeouts.
+M1 and M2 are each assertion-killed by the named regression in both files
+(4/4 executions, two distinct mutant sites). M2 deterministically hits
+32768 at injected sample 0.6384. Source restored. Post-run pgrep finds no
+process naming the fixture TMPDIR; cwd node/sshd sweep is empty, proving
+the long-sleep stub cleanup requested in C3. Logs retain the prior invalid
+runner invocation and the diagnosed CRLF build failure separately.
+
+## Repeat preparation (sage-2536)
+
+Before the repeat commit, the shared helper adds optional fixture evidence
+output via MOSAIC_SSHD_EVIDENCE. It saves each attempted config/log before
+accepting or abandoning that attempt, so test cleanup cannot erase the
+startup evidence. The repeat runner assigns a packet directory per run.
+No acceptance, picker, stub or existing assertion changes for this capture.
+The repeated full files verify this final committed helper.
+
+Repeat source commit: b765f5cb812e60789e4129ed2ab8009f5439a5be. Four-path manifest SHA256: 27806c0579c76d0999d2e6be4180c3867570df0268af9d7e0d7b971af799e6f5.
+All four blobs are rechecked before and after each run. No candidate
+bytes may change after this point.
+
+## Final committed-byte evidence
+
+Sage-2536 granted the repeat on committed bytes, with no changes carried
+through the run. Source commit b765f5cb812e60789e4129ed2ab8009f5439a5be;
+manifest 27806c0579c76d0999d2e6be4180c3867570df0268af9d7e0d7b971af799e6f5.
+Repeat window: 2026-10-22T07:29:03Z to 07:48:38Z. Both whole files ran
+sequentially under continuous CLI-suite load, with full output, exit status,
+counts and durations retained per run in repeat-results.json/repeat-logs/.
+Each run checks HEAD and all four hashes before and after. The load is the
+actual complete CLI glob, not a substitute stress loop. Sage received the
+required 15-minute report at 07:44:01Z.
+
+| Repeat file | Whole runs | Pass | Fail | Skip | Timeout |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| grant-executor.test.mjs | 30 | 1230 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+| host-run.test.mjs | 30 | 780 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+| CLI load, two whole cycles | 2 | 1588 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+
+Repeat assertions total 2010/2010; load assertions 1588/1588. The in-progress
+second CLI load was allowed to finish whole before stopping. No skips.
+Each repeat has a 180 s process-group timeout; each load a 900 s timeout.
+Neither bound fired. Attempt config/log evidence was saved before cleanup
+under attempt-logs/<run>/<fixture>/; these are generated fixture paths only.
+
+grant-executor: seconds min 20.611, median 20.811, max 26.419.
+
+host-run: seconds min 14.207, median 14.408, max 14.609.
+
+cli-load: seconds min 587.109, median 587.409, max 587.709.
+
+Sage-2537 granted final M1/M2 replays after the complete CLI load exited,
+because the optional attempt-log capture was added before the repeat commit.
+07:48:56Z–07:48:57Z: four focused executions, all assertion kills:
+
+| Mutant | Named killer, in both owning files | Result |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| M1: connect-only acceptance | row 280: an occupied TCP port is attempted, refused, and retried with our sshd | Both fail returned-port inequality |
+| M2: 20000 + Math.floor(rand() * 20000) | row 280: every injected picker sample is unprivileged and outside the ephemeral range | Both fail at sample 0.6384, port 32768 |
+
+No timeout or syntax failure is counted as a kill. Phase-1 runner, table and
+logs remain separately recorded; final replays use the exact b765 helper.
+Restored-hashes.json records 4/4 with no drift. Final-sweep.json records no
+node, chromium or sshd under owned cwd paths and no process naming either
+owned TMPDIR. This also supplies C3's post-test long-sleep cleanup evidence.
+Slot returned at 07:49:17Z. No source byte changed during the repeat; the
+final mutations were restored under sage-2537. No live file, unit or config
+was touched. The whole bus suite remains Sage's owner gate.
+
+Existing assertions/refusals remain unchanged (289 grant lines, 125 host
+lines); assertion-preservation.json records the static check. The reader
+search found only the intended shared-helper imports and no outside reader
+of either owning file. Duckworth also confirmed no owning-file hash pin.
+The two extra blank-line pairs are acknowledged style nits, left unchanged
+after the committed repeat (sage-2537).

+# Re-pin 7247d80c7 to 86f95bb27 (rows 251, 244, 254, 202, 273, PRD 1.11-1.14), no migration
+
+Sage, 2026-10-22, for mos-1253 under DECISIONS Q173 and mos-1246. The step layout is
+`repin-1024-draft1.md`, with the copy changed and `--migrate` dropped. Where a step is unchanged I name it
+and say only what differs. Mos checks this file's sha256 before P0, and any change after that means a new
+check (mos-0849/0850). This file stays uncommitted until row 191's window ends, because refactor doesn't
+move while a rebased candidate's gate runs.
+
+## Who, and what nobody does
+
+- Darkwing operates if free. Otherwise I operate. Mos verifies each step's output before the next one,
+  runs P3, and gives the W5 go. Row 191's full window keeps first claim on the slot (mos-1225). Steps that
+  start no test and no stub run alongside it: P1, W0, P4, P5, P6, B0, W1-W4. P2 waits for a gap or CLEAR,
+  because it starts node stubs that a busy check counts.
+- Jason has no step. Nothing is pruned. Nobody acts as Jason: no `--by jason`, no human shell or tmux
+  pane, every bus read and write carries `--tester`, and `bus.tester` stays as it is. If it isn't `true`,
+  stop at P1.
+- No pi (#383). No Save in the human Console, no `mosaic name`.
+- Outside reach doesn't change. No `--send`, no `--sso`, no proof pair. Both go on together in the phase 2
+  window, which still waits for Jason's start (Vikunja 412). The tunnel forwards 7332 only.
+- dragon-lin only. .53 and .54 take nothing (mos-1198, mos-1167).
+
+## Names
+
+- OLD, live: `7247d80c7af7ffa70fc61557406bf491cdf3bfc7`, schema 3j, pointer `pm: true`, activation
+  `20261021T215926Z-7247d80c7af7`. Console flags at W5 last time: `--port 7332 --public-host
+  mosaic.woltje.com --auth-header X-authentik-username --allow-user jason.woltje --tester-socket`. P1
+  re-reads them from `status`. I don't copy them from this file.
+- NEW: `86f95bb27f6cb237bf9fa9ba53320bace6c4de0b`, 59 commits past OLD (`git rev-list --count`). The last
+  code landing in it is 0bbf0f6d1 (row 273). The two commits after that are docs and queue files.
+- `WIN=agents/darkwing/work/window-repin-86f95bb27/` if Darkwing operates, else
+  `agents/sage/work/window-repin-86f95bb27/`. The scripts adapt last window's, in
+  `agents/sage/work/window-repin-7247d80c7/`, with NEW and OLD changed and every `--migrate` removed.
+
+## What NEW carries over OLD
+
+Non-test paths changed from OLD to NEW (`git diff --name-only`, tests and READMEs left out):
+
+| Row | Commit | Paths | Live effect to check |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 251, 244 | d37210288, e69260a3c | scripts/test-release.sh, test-task.sh, scripts/testing/* | Gate tooling. Not in the live path. |
+| PRD 1.11-1.14 | ea0b2a16d..db1e7732a | packages/tasks/requirements.json | W9: the pm's requirements read gives 1.14 with 85 ids. |
+| 254 | 331597709 | packages/bus/src/human-cli.mjs (library.sync client timeout 130 s), packages/webui/src/bus.mjs (six `library-*` STATUS codes) | No library entry is live, so neither path runs. |
+| 202 | ddfb29af7 | packages/cli/src/access.mjs, cli.mjs, scripts/mosaic | `mosaic access list/grant/revoke`. Nobody runs them in this window (Q188, mos-1141). |
+| 273 | 7991662dc..0bbf0f6d1 | scripts/stack-release.sh | `--send` and `--no-sso`. With neither given, the plan keeps the pointer's Console flags. W3 checks that. |
+
+Nothing else in packages/bus/src or packages/webui/src changed (`git diff --quiet` with those two files left
+out). The four service scripts and scripts/stack-copy.sh are unchanged from OLD (`git diff --quiet 7247d80c7
+86f95bb27 --` on them). package-lock.json is unchanged.
+
+## Schema and backups
+
+- `SCHEMA_VERSION` is 3j at both commits (`packages/bus/src/store.mjs:17`). No migration step and no
+  schema.sql change in the range. W3's plan must show no migration line. If it asks for `--migrate`, stop.
+- B0 is the backup taken first. It's an online copy of the live store through sqlite's backup API, read only
+  on the source, as in last window's W12. It is laid out the way `rehearse --backup PATH` reads it
+  (`stack-release.sh:2232-2235`): `$DATA/backups/b0-<STAMP>/bus/bus.sqlite`, `SHA256SUMS` written from
+  inside `bus/`, `SCHEMA` reading 3j, and `CHECK` holding the integrity_check result, the event count and
+  maxSeq. The operator sends Mos the path and the SHA256SUMS sha256 before P3.
+- W5 takes the stopped-store backup every activate takes, plus the rollback set. That one is the rollback
+  point.
+- The grant look-alike count from draft 1 is dropped. It guarded the 3i-3j migration, and there is none.
+- Rollback is a pointer flip. OLD and NEW share 3j, so `rollback --plan` then the real run, with no
+  `--restore`. Any restore goes to Mos and ends the window (mos-1226, mos-1253 item 5).
+
+## Before the window (nothing stopped)
+
+| # | Who | Step |
+|---|-----|------|
+| P0 | Mos | The sha check of NEW and of this file. |
+| P1 | operator | `status`: pointer, activation, 3j, Console flags, unit flags match. Business file sha256 and `business-check.mjs` LOAD_OK for OLD now and for NEW after W0. `ls -ld $DATA/console` is 0700 and `tester.sock` is 0600 (row 196 made them at the last W5). `bus.tester` is `true`. |
+| W0 | operator | `scripts/stack-copy.sh copy $NEW`. The copy has `tools/unslop-hook` and `packages/library/bin/askpass` with NEW's mode. |
+| P2 | operator, in a gap | The two stub runs from last window's p2.sh against NEW's copy, then render both units from REPO's service scripts and diff them against the live units. The only difference allowed is the copy path. |
+| B0 | operator | The backup above. Path and SHA256SUMS sha256 to Mos. |
+| P3 | Mos | `stack-release.sh rehearse $NEW mosaic-stack --backup <B0 path> --port <scratch>`, no `--migrate`. It must show no migration, the interpreter preflight passing, one receipt line, no `library:` line, and one pm reply. Mos also reads healthz, `/api/config` and the two tester-http reads on NEW's Console with the pointer's flags, as in mos-1107. |
+| P4 | operator | The tunnel read. |
+| P5 | operator | The four service scripts held at NEW, and empty porcelain on them. |
+| P6 | operator | The 7332 matrix (a)-(g) on OLD as `$WIN/matrix-old.txt`, plus the two tester-http reads, for W10. |
+
+## The window
+
+| # | Who | Step |
+|---|-----|------|
+| W0b | operator | The business file copy. |
+| W1 | operator | Idle check, start stamp from `date -u`, S1 with `$SNAP --held`. Open pm tasks: the pm finishes or parks them, or the operator records which piece crosses the window. |
+| W2 | operator | `status`: pointer on OLD, `pm: true`, 3j, unit flags match. |
+| W3 | operator | `stack-release.sh activate $NEW mosaic-stack --pm --tester-socket --plan`. It must show OLD to NEW, no migration, the backup line, and a Console line with OLD's flags exactly: `--tester-socket`, no `--send`, no `--sso`, no proof pair, no drop line. Any other difference stops here. |
+| W4 | operator | The unit reads, as last window. W3 and W4 go to Mos for the W5 go. |
+| W5 | operator, on Mos's go | The same command without `--plan`. Exit 0, `result ok`, every gate check passing, `pm_launched` included. Record the activation id, backup path, STAMP and the backup SHA256SUMS sha256. Then `status`. |
+| W9 | operator, after Mos verifies W5 | Last window's W9 list: no `Sign-in:` line in the webui journal since the W5 stamp (with `UTC`), `/proc/<Console pid>/cwd` names NEW's copy, `tester.sock` 0600 in a 0700 `console/`, one new `peercred-starts.jsonl` line, no `library:` line in the bus journal. The pm's requirements read gives 1.14 with 85 ids. If the pm isn't relaunched by the restart (mos-1230), the read moves to W12, as last time. |
+| W10 | operator | The matrix again as `$WIN/matrix-new.txt`, identical to `matrix-old.txt` apart from named lines. The two tester-http reads match P6's. No listener on 7333 (`ss -ltn`). P4 again. A Console POST on the main port with no signed-in session is refused (the mos-1195 baseline). |
+| W11 | operator | STATE report in `$WIN/STATE.md`, posted on P19 386, 412 and 435, and on the Gitea issues for 202 (#1700), 254 (#1759) and 273 (#1778). |
+| W12 | operator, after W11 | Row 66's live check as last time: backup first, one Claude Code managed session with a known tell, the RESULT note, the next-turn notice and the `unslop.jsonl` counts. Pi isn't run (#383). |
+
+After W12 I write draft 3 of the phase 2 plan naming 86f95bb27. That window still waits for Jason.
+
+## Steps skipped, and why
+
+Mos allowed skipping a step that only repeats a test row 273's or row 202's gate already ran on the same
+code. The blob ids at the gated commit and at NEW are equal for every one of those files (`git rev-parse`):
+scripts/stack-release.sh `7c7676c71` at 0bbf0f6d1 and NEW, and access.mjs `a0a7c9364`, cli.mjs `b14b8fd79`,
+scripts/mosaic `91c79ab4b` and human-cli.mjs `27b67fbf7` at ddfb29af7 and NEW.
+
+- No separate run of the `--send`/`--no-sso` walk or the rollback flag carry. Darkwing's gate on 0bbf0f6d1
+  ran stack-release.test.mjs 218/218 (T53, T57, T58 c0/c1) and test-release.sh rc 0. W3's live plan line is
+  the only check left.
+- No live `mosaic access` run. Row 202's gate ran access.test.mjs on ddfb29af7. A live grant would also
+  break Q188.
+- The grant look-alike count, for the reason under Schema. It's a scope drop, not a gate repeat.
+
+Nothing else is skipped. P2 and P3 aren't gate repeats: they check NEW's copy as built on dragon-lin.
+
+## Stop conditions and rollback
+
+As in draft 1. The first failure stops the step and goes to Mos. A second failure, or any restore, ends
+the window (mos-0823, mos-1253 item 5). Before W5 there's nothing to undo. After W5, rollback is
+`rollback --plan` then the real run, which flips the pointer to OLD with the same Console flags. Keep every
+copy. Prune nothing.

+
+Sage, 2026-10-22. Source: row 253's DESIGN-C4 addendum (Gander 968db0bcd, :111-124) and Duckworth's
+addendum ruling (duckworth-0111, RULING-c4-addendum.md at 45288e584, F5 and C4).
+
+## Brief: supervised legacy AS_USER calls
+
+Owner Gander. Reviewer Duckworth. Gate owner Sage. Starts after row 253 lands.
+
+Why: when a terminal is present, sudo runs the command in a new session (use_pty), and it can't relay
+SIGKILL. Row 253 puts its new config query and peer probe under an inline supervisor that scans the
+session it owns. It leaves the older calls in `case1-accept.sh` as they are. These are the `timeout 330 ...
+talk` path (case1-accept.sh.txt:305 in Gander's frozen snapshot) and the other AS_USER diagnostics (:326,
+:335, :355, :396). Each of these wraps sudo in a GNU timeout outside the uid drop. That has the same gap:
+when it fires, it kills timeout's process group, and the command keeps running in its separate session.
+
+What to build:
+1. Every remaining AS_USER call in the case scripts runs under row 253's supervisor text. That's the same
+   bytes, pinned by row 253's C5 test, with its own inner and outer bounds and reasons. The talk path
+   keeps its 300 s conversation and its stdout and stderr diagnostics.
+2. Or, for any call that can't take the supervisor, the header says it isn't supervised and why, and the
+   DEFERRED entry stays open for that call by name.
+
+Tests: extend case-sudo-fixture.mjs cases in both fake modes (exec and session hop) to each changed call.
+Each one needs a no-leftover assertion and its exact reason. Mutants: drop the supervisor from the talk path,
+and drop the outer bound from one diagnostic. Each must be killed.
+
+Gate: Duckworth approves the manifest, the touched test files run whole, every scripts/test-*.sh runs,
+and the mutants are killed.

+# A fire or a delete revokes the instance's grants (194/236 follow-up, MVP)
+
+Sage, 2026-10-22, for mos-1271. Dewey found it on the row 236 rebase look (dewey-0815). Row 281, Gitea #1786, Vikunja 524.
+
+## Why
+
+Row 194's `instance.fire` revokes only the roles entry's credential services. It does this through
+`revoke()` in packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs (:151), which instance-settings.mjs `fire()` calls as its
+beforeWrite (:337, :343). Row 256's human delete goes through the same `revoke()`. Neither touches a
+grant. A fired agent's host grants (row 235) stay on every host they name, and its Gitea user and token
+(row 236) stay live. They last until someone runs `mosaic hosts revoke AGENT HOST` or `mosaic grants
+revoke AGENT` by hand. Those CLI verbs are the human's. The tester's `hosts.revoke` and `grants.revoke`
+refuse `tester-dev-only` outside a dev business (broker.mjs :1573 and #grantsCaller). The Console has
+no revoke route. Nothing tells the human that a fired instance still holds a grant.
+
+Live is 86f95bb27, which carries 235's host grants but not 236. dragon-lin runs as tester with no real
+host grants, so nothing live holds a grant today. The Case 1 install on .53 will hold them.
+
+## Brief: no grant outlives its instance
+
+`--after` 236. It lands before the Case 1 install on .53 hires any instance with a grant (mos-1271
+item 4). It doesn't hold the dragon-lin re-pin. It comes after 274 in the landing order unless Mos
+moves it.
+
+Design before code. The design goes in the packet BUILD.md. The reviewer approves it before any code.
+
+What to build:
+
+1. A fire, and a delete, end every grant the instance holds before the write that removes the
+   instance. That covers each host grant on each host, through the same steps `hosts.revoke` takes
+   (the grant.revoked record, the key removal and the host line, row 235 r6 section 6). It also covers
+   the Gitea grant, through the same steps `grants.revoke` takes (row 236 #436b).
+2. Fail closed, as `revoke()` does for credentials. If any grant revoke can't complete, the verb stops,
+   the organization file stays unchanged, and the refusal names the instance, the grant and the reason.
+   A repeated fire then picks up where the first stopped, as 194's repeated fire already does for step
+   C (webby-0011 B2). A grant that's already revoked counts as done. The design says how a host that
+   can't be reached is handled. It may not drop a grant record while its key could still be on the
+   host.
+3. The fire's result, and the event the human sees, list the grants revoked as well as the credential
+   services.
+4. Nothing else changes. The hosts and grants verbs keep their callers and refusals. The tester's
+   `tester-dev-only` stays. No new Console route.
+
+Tests, each in the owning package, whole files:
+
+- A fire of an instance with a host grant on two hosts and a Gitea grant revokes all three. It records
+  each revoke the way the manual verbs do, and a later host.run or Gitea use by that agent refuses.
+- The same for the human's delete (row 256's path).
+- A grant revoke that fails: the fire refuses, the file is unchanged, and the instance and its other
+  grants are as they were or recorded as revoked, per the design. A repeat fire then completes.
+- An instance with no grant fires exactly as it does today, with no new events.
+
+Mutants, each killed by a named test:
+
+- M1. The fire skips the host grant revokes.
+- M2. The fire skips the Gitea grant revoke.
+- M3. A failed grant revoke is ignored, so the fire goes on to the write.
+- M4. The delete path skips grant revokes.
+
+Gate: the reviewer approves the design and then the manifest. The bus, business and cli suites run
+whole, with every touched test file whole on its own. The Docker gitea-grant test runs. Every
+scripts/test-*.sh is green on Sage's gate, and M1-M4 are killed. Any red goes to Sage, and a red Sage
+can't place goes to Mos.

+# The owner sees a thread agent's claims (10-27 row)
+
+Sage, 2026-10-22, for mos-1262. Row 205's message filter found the gap (morgana-0072, ruling sage-2430).
+
+## Why
+
+PRD :1083-1084 promises that what a thread's agent does with the owner's authority stays visible to the
+owner: its decisions, inbox entries, claims, tasks and project files. FED R6 shows users the same list word
+for word. Today a thread run's `role.claim` writes `thread_claims` only and returns at broker.mjs:2682. The
+`agents` verb (:3309) reads `role_claims` only, and no other owner verb shows thread claims. So the owner
+can't see a thread agent's claim.
+
+Mos ruled this a 10-27 row, not post-v1 (mos-1262). No user thread goes live before it lands, the same
+bind as the 193b1a filter. Q176 Case 1 ("Shared and private agent sessions available per user; RBAC")
+needs it. If it can't make 10-27, that's a scope question for Jason, and it goes to Mos first.
+
+## Brief: the owner sees thread claims
+
+Chained on row 205 (193b1a). Start from refactor after 205 lands.
+
+What to build:
+
+1. A human or reader session's `agents` result also lists every thread claim currently held in the
+   business: thread id, holder run, harness and claim time. A claim counts as held when its thread's
+   latest `thread_claims` op is `claim`. Role claim rows keep their current shape and order. Thread
+   claim rows are added after them, marked so a reader can tell the two apart.
+2. A role session's `agents` result is unchanged.
+3. The rows carry no message content and no thread name a user wrote. The 205 filter still hides user
+   messages. This row adds claims only.
+4. The CLI's `agents` output (packages/cli format.mjs reads `c.role` and `holder_run`) shows the thread
+   rows without breaking the role rows.
+5. Row 205's governance pin (message-filter.test.mjs, the "claims" item) moves from `threadsState` to the
+   owner's `agents` call. Its comment naming this row goes away.
+
+If the builder finds a cleaner shape, for example a separate owner verb, it goes in BUILD.md to Duckworth
+before code. A widening beyond owner and reader sessions goes to Mos (mos-1202).
+
+Tests:
+
+- Owner `agents` shows a held thread claim. After revoke or release, it doesn't.
+- A role session's `agents` result is byte-equal to before for the same store.
+- No message body or user-written thread text appears in the output.
+- The CLI renders a mixed list.
+
+Mutants, each killed by a named test:
+
+- M1. Thread rows dropped from the owner result.
+- M2. The held check reads the first op instead of the latest, so a released claim shows.
+- M3. Thread rows added to a role session's result.
+
+Gate: Duckworth approves the manifest. The touched test files run whole, the bus and cli suites and every
+scripts/test-*.sh are green on Sage's gate, and the mutants are killed.
+
+## Ruling on design r1 (sage-2487)
+
+Duckworth approved Morgana's design r1 (3e9939b7b) as D1: a separate human and reader verb `thread.claims`,
+with `agents` unchanged, under conditions C1-C3 (duckworth-0118, agents/duckworth/work/row1782/DESIGN-r1.md
+at 13fb9abc5). The brief allowed that shape. Brief item 5's pin moves to `thread.claims`, as C3 records.
+Row 277 builds it.
+
+The Console doesn't show thread claims under D1, and an owner who uses only the Console won't run
+`mosaic agents`. So PRD :1083-1084 isn't met until the Console shows them too. That's the follow-up brief
+below, with the same bind as row 277.
+
+## Brief: the Console shows thread claims
+
+Chained on row 277. Start from refactor after 277 lands.
+
+What to build:
+
+1. The Console's Agents view gets a "Thread claims" section for a human or reader session. It reads
+   `thread.claims` and lists each held claim: thread id, holder run, harness and claim time.
+2. The existing role rows (webui public/bus.js :447, :462, :474) keep their shape, counts and order.
+3. No message body and no thread name a user wrote appears in the section.
+4. An empty result shows an empty-state line, not an error. A refusal from `thread.claims` shows the
+   refusal and leaves the role rows intact.
+
+Tests:
+
+- The section lists a held claim and drops it after release.
+- Role rows and their counts are byte-equal to before for the same store.
+- No message body or user-written thread text in the rendered section.
+- A refused `thread.claims` call leaves the role rows rendered.
+
+Mutants, each killed by a named test:
+
+- M1. The section is not rendered.
+- M2. Thread claims are counted into the role totals.
+
+Gate: Webby approves the manifest. The touched test files run whole, the webui and bus suites and every
+scripts/test-*.sh are green on Sage's gate, and the mutants are killed. No user thread goes live before this
+row lands.

+# The bus tests' scratch sshd proves it owns its port (194 gate follow-up, MVP)
+
+Sage, 2026-10-22, for mos-1270. Row 194 b16's gate found it (honker-0125), and Honker's diagnosis placed it
+on the base (honker-0127).
+
+## Why
+
+`sshd()` in packages/bus/tests/grant-executor.test.mjs (:57-97, from row 249, 9de5a57ab) and the same
+helper in packages/bus/tests/host-run.test.mjs (:79-97) pick a port with
+`20000 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 20000)`, start sshd on it, and return the port as soon as
+`listening(port)` connects. This host's ephemeral range is 32768-60999, so about a third of the picks fall
+inside it.
+
+Honker's diagnosis run hung on base ceadad993, with no row 194 code, in G23 at :433. sshd.log said "Bind to
+port 38927 on 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use", and the sshd child had exited 255. Even so,
+`listening(port)` had returned true, so the helper returned a port that our sshd never held. The install
+never reached our sshd (no requests.log), the hold-add stub never wrote `holding`, and the first `until`
+timed out at 10 s. Row 194's G13 red at :733 has the same shape. The connect that succeeded was either a
+short-lived foreign listener or a TCP self-connect, which can succeed with no listener at all when the
+source port equals the destination port. Both need a port inside the ephemeral range. Live is 86f95bb27 and
+nothing running uses these helpers. This is a test defect, not a product defect.
+
+## Brief: the scratch sshd's port is ours before a test uses it
+
+No `--after`. This row lands before row 194 b17, which rebases onto it and reruns its gate whole
+(mos-1270 item 3, the same order as row 279).
+
+What to build, in both helpers:
+
+1. The helper returns a port only when our sshd holds it. A connect alone isn't enough. One shape:
+   `daemon.exitCode === null` after `listening` returns true, plus sshd.log's "Server listening on
+   127.0.0.1 port N" line. The builder picks the proof and records it in BUILD.md.
+2. A bind failure or an early sshd exit retries with a new port, within the existing attempt limit. When
+   every attempt fails, the helper still throws 'scratch sshd did not start'. Never a skip.
+3. Ports come from outside the host's ephemeral range. Read /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range rather
+   than hard-coding 32768, and keep the pick at or above 1024.
+4. DEFERRED X5 binds this row because it touches grant-executor.test.mjs (DEFERRED.md, the "Grant executor
+   test X5 starts a `sleep 30`" entry). The `run(['sleep', '30'])` that X5 starts and then revokes
+   (grant-executor.test.mjs :989-990 at ceadad993) must not outlive its test. Use a stub that exits once its test dir is gone, as row 248 did for the hold stubs, or a shorter
+   sleep. The builder picks and records it in BUILD.md. The DEFERRED entry gets a closing line naming this
+   row.
+5. No product file changes. Nothing outside the two test files, plus a shared test helper if the builder
+   moves `sshd()` into one, plus DEFERRED.md and the packet.
+
+Tests:
+
+- A regression: a port already held by a plain TCP listener the test opens is refused, and the helper
+  retries and returns a different port that our sshd holds. The test may pass a port to the helper for this.
+- Every existing test in both files passes unchanged.
+- Repeat: each of the two files runs whole 30 times with the cli suite as load, with no timeout. Save the
+  counts and durations.
+
+Mutants, each killed by a named test:
+
+- M1. The old acceptance: return the port on `listening(port)` alone.
+- M2. The old pick, `20000 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 20000)`. If no single run kills it, record the
+  repeat counts and the reason, and Duckworth rules on it.
+
+Gate: Duckworth approves the manifest. Both files run whole, the bus suite is green on Sage's gate, the
+30-run repeat has no timeout, and M1 is killed. Row 194 b17's full gate then runs on top of this row. Any red
+goes to Mos (mos-1270).

-Two steps need `scripts/stack-release.sh` flags that don't exist at 02da6a2ae:
-
-- `activate` has `--no-send` but no `--send`. The live pointer holds no `--send`: the 10-20 19:29:56Z
-  re-pin of 490e2771d gave `--no-send`, and every activation since has carried it off. So step 5 can't turn
-  `--send` on (mos-1195).
-- `activate` has no way to turn `--sso` off. Without `--sso`, `sso_base` carries it from the pointer
-  (`sso: carried`), and `check_target` refuses the pointer's own copy as `already-active`. The pre-window
-  flags (`--public-host`, `--auth-header`, `--allow-user`) have no activate option either. So R1's
-  same-copy rollback can't run.
-
-The fix is one small row, approved in mos-1246: `activate --send` and `activate --no-sso`. `--no-sso`
-takes the Console flags from the rollback set of the activation that turned `--sso` on, the way `sso_base`
-already does for a rollback to a copy without `--sso`. It drops `--send`, and its plan line says so. `--send`
-refuses unless the run's Console flags hold `--sso`, given or carried (F39). test-release.sh gets cases for
-both. Darkwing builds it, and a seat other than Sage and Darkwing reviews it. Brief:
-`docs/plans/2026-10-22_activate-send-nosso.md`. It lands and is re-pinned before the window, on Mos's go,
-run by Jason or Mos. The steps below assume it, and draft 3 names the new copy.
+Draft 2 found two missing `scripts/stack-release.sh` flags: `activate --send` and `activate --no-sso`. Row 273
+added both (mos-1246, F39). It landed as 0bbf0f6d1 (Gitea #1778), and the 86f95bb27 re-pin put it live
+(activation 20261022T040256Z-86f95bb27f6c). `--send` refuses unless the run's Console flags hold `--sso`,
+given or carried. `--no-sso` takes the Console flags from the rollback set of the activation that turned
+`--sso` on, and it drops `--send`. Neither flag ran in that re-pin, so step 5 and rollback 1 are their first
+live use. Darkwing's gate on 0bbf0f6d1 ran stack-release.test.mjs 218/218, including T53, T57 and T58.

+# stopRun reads a live run's status at the deadline (191 follow-up, MVP)
+
+Sage, 2026-10-22, for mos-1269. Row 194 b15's gate found it (honker-0121, sage-2510).
+
+## Why
+
+`stopRun` in packages/processing-control/src/runtimes.mjs (row 191, 4bdc7e0e8) waits in
+`while (now() <= deadline)` (:333). Its final status read is inside `if (now() >= deadline)` (:356-359),
+and the loop sleeps `Math.min(20, Math.max(1, deadline - now()))` (:361). A real sleep can wake past the
+deadline. When it does, the loop condition fails before the final read runs, and :363 returns `'unknown'`
+for a process that is still alive and ignoring SIGTERM and SIGKILL. The expected outcome is `'alive'`.
+
+Row 194's T9a (cli lifecycle.test.mjs:562) caught it in the loaded cli suite: 'unknown' where 'alive' was
+expected, while the same file passed alone. Row 191's tests missed it because their fake clock advances by
+exactly the sleep, so it never overshoots. Live is 86f95bb27, which doesn't carry 191, so nothing running
+is affected.
+
+## Brief: stopRun's deadline branch is the only time exit
+
+No `--after`. 191 has landed. This row lands before row 194 b16, which rebases onto it (mos-1269 item 4).
+
+What to build:
+
+1. The time loop's only exit on time is the existing deadline branch, so the final status read always runs
+   once the deadline passes. One shape is `for (;;)` with the `now() >= deadline` branch as the time exit.
+   The builder picks the shape and records it in BUILD.md.
+2. The other exits stay as they are: record gone (the catch), identity changed, ended or not alive, and the
+   deadline branch's own mapping of `alive`, `killed`, `stopped`, `identity-changed` and `unknown`.
+3. Nothing else in runtimes.mjs changes. Vikunja 502's four items stay out (mos-1269 item 3). They follow
+   row 194.
+
+Tests:
+
+- A fake sleep advances the clock past the deadline while the process stays alive and ignores both
+  signals. stopRun reports `'alive'`.
+- The existing stop-run tests pass unchanged.
+
+Mutants, each killed by a named test:
+
+- M1. The old loop condition `while (now() <= deadline)` with the fall-through `return finish('unknown')`.
+
+Gate: Dewey approves the manifest. The processing-control package's tests (runtimes.test.mjs and
+stop-run.test.mjs among them) and every other touched test file run whole, the business and cli suites are
+green on Sage's gate, and M1 is killed. Row 194 b16's full gate then runs on top of this row. Any red goes to
+Mos (mos-1269).

+  (`instance-settings.mjs`) refuses END_PROTECTED for every actor, so
+  the human can't delete a companion instance and fire refuses one too.
+  The Agents page hides Delete on the listing's `endProtected`. The fix
+  threads the actor through `deleteRefusal` and the launcher's delete
+  pass, so the human may delete one and the tester may not
+  (`creativeHumanOnly`). Until then, the human can delist
+  (instances.set launch: false) but neither fire nor delete removes a
+  creative entry (sage-2166). The row covers fire and delete together;

+- **A fire stuck between step A and step B has no human escape.** (Webby
+  N4 on row 194 b5, webby-0094; Sage's ruling sage-2241, #1692.) The
+  broker's chief fire records `fire.stopped` at step A, and `#firing`
+  refuses every launch and take of the instance until a `fire.done`. The
+  events are in the store, so a bus restart doesn't clear them. Row 194
+  b6 runs the writer's checks against the file before step A
+  (`instance.fireCheck`), so a keep the bus hasn't loaded no longer
+  strands an instance. A step B that keeps refusing still does: a
+  credential revoke that fails every time, or a file a human changed
+  between the check and the write. Each repeat fire runs step A again
+  and refuses at B. The fix is a human verb, never an agent one, that
+  records the end of the firing (a `fire.done`, or a new
+  `fire.abandoned` that `#firing` also counts) with a reason. Its test:
+  a fire whose step B refuses leaves the instance `instance-firing`, the
+  verb as the chief or the tester refuses, and the verb as the human
+  clears it so the instance launches again. (2026-10-21)
+- **A fire's done with more than 64 stops refuses, and nothing flags a
+  run left alive.** (Webby N2 on row 194 b8 r2, webby-0100; Sage's ruling
+  sage-2290, #1692.) `lifecycleDone` caps `stops` at 64 and refuses
+  `invalid-request` above it (`broker.mjs`). The launcher's fireStop has
+  already signalled every run through stopRun by then, so the killed runs
+  are dead. But the refused done writes no lifecycle.end.killed or
+  lifecycle.end.alive event and no lifecycle.done, and the end request
+  stays taken. A run the stop left alive, or couldn't confirm (unknown),
+  gets no Console flag. The fire itself is unaffected, because
+  `fire.stopped` and `fire.done` are written at the verb. No MVP instance
+  comes near 64 runs. The follow-up row either raises the cap or splits
+  the done. Its test: a fire's done over the cap refuses, and the runs it
+  left alive still get the alive flag. (2026-10-22)
+- **A fired or deleted instance keeps its grants.** (Dewey on the row 236
+  rebase look, dewey-0815; Mos mos-1271; Sage sage-2558.) Row 194's
+  `instance.fire` and row 256's delete revoke only the roles entry's
+  credential services through `revoke()` in `runtime.mjs`. The agent's
+  host grants (row 235) and its Gitea user and token (row 236) stay live
+  until a human runs `mosaic hosts revoke` or `mosaic grants revoke`. The
+  Console has no revoke route and doesn't say a grant is left. Row 281
+  (#1786) closes it: a fire or a delete revokes every host and Gitea grant
+  the instance holds, fail closed, with a test for each kind. It lands

The tester check reads `bus.tester` again at the call, `tester-dev-only`. One transaction deletes the `host_grants` record and writes `grant.revoked` with `hostLine:"pending"`. With no await between, the key leaves memory and its file goes, and a `host.run` or executor in flight aborts. Then `remove <user> <tag>` runs on the host and `grant.revoke.closed` records `hostLine:"removed"` or `hostLineLeft`. A revoke with no record still runs, with `granted:false`. Returns `{agent,host,tag,granted,keyFile,hostLine or hostLineLeft}`. A restart with a pending marker runs the remove once the bus is up; `hosts.status` lists its tag under `revoking`. |

No token. |
+| `grants.run` | `{decision}`; the human only. Starts the Gitea executor of a `credential.mint` decision with a gitea grant the human said yes to, as the yes itself does (X1). Step 0's refusals come back with no record: `not-authorized`, `decision-consumed`, `grant-token-unknown`, `grant-busy`, `gitea-not-configured`. Returns `{decision,agent,started:true}`; the outcome is a `grant.applied` or `grant.failed` and a notice. |

The token leaves memory and its file goes, an executor in flight aborts, then one transaction deletes the `gitea_grants` record and writes `grant.revoked` with the token ids to delete. The deletes run with the admin token after C1 to C4, and `grant.revoke.closed` records `serviceLeft`, a list. `credentials.revoke AGENT gitea` and `credentials.delete` do the same for a stack-made user; delete also deletes every token of the user and sets `prohibit_login` (fire). |

A fire retry (`tokens`, `login`) first checks the user's id as the revoke close does, and a gone or remade user is skipped with `gitea-user-gone` or `gitea-user-foreign`.

Rotation voids the approved decisions not yet run, as their `adminSha256` no longer matches. remove drops the slot. Each writes `grant.admin` with no secret. A left admin token that set or remove drops from `adminTokenLeft`, or one shown as `unknown`, has to be deleted by hand at Gitea. A running executor, revoke close or sweep keeps the admin api it started with: rotate voids only decisions not yet run, and remove takes effect from the next run. |

+`processing.status` is an authorized read. `processing.halt` ({}) and
+`processing.resume` ({generation}) require the existing human proof before
+validation or effects. They are management verbs independent of channels and
+never tester or role grants. The strict state under the resolved dataRoot's

+actions mirror its durable transitions and write-once stop receipts with
+verified human and generation. Generic event writers cannot forge them. No
+schema change is needed. Invalid state refuses work and leaves control reads
+and human recovery reachable. Halt then resume repairs an invalid leaf; an
+unsafe parent is not automatically repaired.
+
+The bus remains a read/control service while new agent work, tracker polling,
