 2026-10-23T17:29:46Z | Gyro Vikunja571 sage-3542 Connections amendment | Branch gyro/editor-connections-design cut exactly from landed PRD1.17 30e6bb680; read REQ-LIB-5 in that PRD. Replaced stale J-b waits in parent and W4. Proposed W8 owns current authorized Markdown/DOCX links/backlinks list, labels, versioned refresh, leakage refusals and fixture tests. Build order under mos-1470/comment961 is W7 closed routing candidate, W8 landing, then W7 human first-real-import opening. No REQ-LIB-8 condition or acceptance change. Q234/mos-1363/S0 M1-M14 and post-10-27/MVP priority fixed. Static diff, twelve brief sections and append-only checks pass. No repo Node, tests, build, browser, queue mutation or live action. Fenton reviews after authorized docs branch push; Sage lands on approval.
 
 2026-10-23T17:32:37Z | Gyro sage-3544 fenton-0016 N1/N2 delta | Before: W7 Gate/final real-conversion list omit the W8 build-order cross-reference and W8 human-view filtering cites agent settings. After: both locations explicitly put W8 landing before human opening as mos-1470 build order, not acceptance; comment/tracked-deletion links are not current story links and never appear in the human Connections view regardless of agent settings. New commit atop approved 5af060fb5, no amend. Static diff and append-only checks pass. Docs only, no repo Node/tests/live action. Fenton checks only this delta.

+2026-10-23 | Gladstone | Gitea #1816 / Vikunja 614 hostcheck item 5 and bundle verification | Before: dpkg's correct 750 form falsely fails item 5, and two run-sheet bundle verifies require a missing repository. Draft after: exact root/mosaic/path with octal 0750 equivalence; stat/output unchanged; both verifies use cleaned-up bare scratch repos. Three additive-only test blocks, two planned mutants. Untested under Sage-3738; Sage-3740 authorizes untested branch push for static review. Queue row pending; Sage owns gate and landing.
+
+2026-10-23 | Gladstone | #1816 / Vikunja 614 scope amendment mos-1534, sage-3741 | F1 narrowed to exact 750/0750 and single spaces; F3 allows @ in absolute unit paths with unsafe-character refusals retained; F4 moves copy_tree to / after path resolution. AS_USER audit found git -C and stack-release's existing checkout cd cover the other steps. Added new unit and unreadable-cwd copy tests only. Untested under Sage's no-Node hold; no live action.
+
+2026-10-23 | Gladstone | #1816 / Vikunja 614 F5 draft (mos-1536) | Before: the run sheet omits the explicit notify decision and precheck misses a bus-start refusal. After: section 9a creates a private null-binding decision as mosaic; precheck directly reuses readNotifyConfig and private_dir, and new tests cover accepted and refused decisions. Existing fixture setup additions await Mos approval through Sage; installer unchanged. Untested under no-Node hold.
+
+2026-10-23 | Gladstone | #1816 / Vikunja 614 fixture ruling mos-1537 | Added only three setup lines each to host(t)/world(t) for the explicit null notifier decision. Existing assertions/fakes/lines intact. New install test checks decision bytes/mode preserved and missing decision remains absent. F5 missing-file fault removes the setup file. Untested under Sage's hold; separate follow-up atop 33950cf9b.
+
+2026-10-23 | Gladstone | #1816 / Vikunja 614 F6 and notify parent (mos-1537) | Before: the run sheet's copy check lacks its required CLI wrapper; mkdir -p -m does not guarantee the notify parent mode. After: a separately Mos-gated wrapper --create step follows install and precedes check, as mosaic from cwd /; section 9a explicitly creates both notify directories at 0700.

+# Row 298 (#1804, Q228): chief-of-staff grant scope
+
+Owner Boyd (48a3ae38), reviewer Dewey. Branch `boyd/row298`, base `45dca69f6`.
+Assignment: mos-1496/Q245. Handoff: Megavolt megavolt-0203, local `7a141269c`;
+cherry-picked as `4de3cec27` (design) and `7cea739de` (UNTESTED code).
+Brief: `docs/plans/2026-10-23_mvp-readiness-rows.md`, chief-of-staff grant scope.
+Megavolt's original design remains in `agents/megavolt/work/queue-298/BUILD.md`.
+
+## Authority and accepted design
+
+Sage sage-3594, restated in sage-3612: launch.grantScope, lenient read with empty
+fallback, strict human-only write. No general organization setter may write it.
+Per-method agents/projects or agents/hosts/commands; host-enroll never in scope.
+Host command arrays match whole tokens and exact lengths. `grants.scope.set`
+from the human CLI is Approve; no Console page or chief-raised scope change.
+Mos mos-1496/1502 requires the same human-shell guard as `mosaic access`.
+The broker closes an in-scope request via scope and writes grant.scope.used;
+missing evidence must refuse execution. Narrowing before spend fails
+scope-changed. Empty scope ships; only Jason sets the live value (Q188).
+
+No credential files read, no live grants, no deployment, no queue writes. Push
+only boyd/*, additive commits, no amend/force-push or attribution trailers.
+Sage owns queue, shared test slot and landing. No Node/tests before CLEAR.
+
+## Implementation plan and ledger
+
+Using writing-plans and executing-plans inline; the approved brief and D1-D6
+are the spec. This packet is the requested plan/tracking location.
+
+- [x] Read brief, roster, implementation and handoff; register session.
+- [x] Bring Megavolt's two commits onto Boyd's branch without changing history.
+- [x] Add independent CLI tests in `packages/cli/tests/grants-scope.test.mjs`:
+  scope read/set requests; agent-marker rejection before stdin/transport;
+  --tester rejection; missing revision, malformed/empty/oversize input.
+- [x] Strengthen new business/bus grant-scope tests for exact commands,
+  scope evidence binding, host-enroll exclusion and spent scope-changed.
+- [ ] On Sage CLEAR, observe targeted failures before fixes; fix inherited
+  implementation using the existing human proof and grant executors.
+- [ ] Update bus/CLI docs, append BUILD-LOG before/after evidence, manifest.
+- [ ] On Sage CLEAR run touched suites; record exact results and mutants.
+- [ ] Commit UNTESTED until verified; push boyd/row298 only when slot permits;
+  report to Sage and Dewey, cc Mos for pushes/blockers. Dewey reviews manifest.
+
+Pre-flight interfaces: business checkGrantScope/grantScopeOf/grantInScope feed
+the instance writer and broker. Runtime supplies a fresh scope from the org
+file and routes the human setter to the same organization writer. CLI callFor
+supplies refuseInsideAgent and humanTransport. The grant executors consume the
+broker's immutable close/evidence. Tests use scratch files/fake Gitea only.
+
+Review focus: exact argv length, stale scope before spend, forged/missing scope
+evidence, malformed fallback, and CLI agent ancestry. Tests must cover each.
+
+Static findings before any Boyd Node/test run:
+
+- Handoff introduced commandPrefixes beyond the accepted D2 shape, allowing
+  trailing args. Remove it; only exact command arrays are authorized.
+- scope.used carries a digest without validating it, and no org revision.
+  Bind evidence to the canonical scope snapshot and grant/close sequence;
+  preserve historical grants when scope is later changed, recheck at spend.
+- Gitea recheck throws inside the spend transaction and rolls back spend on
+  scope-changed. Preserve spend and log failure for that case (D6).
+- The optional giteaStart?. assertion always passes when the API is absent;
+  use the real runGiteaGrant entry point. Fake Gitea tokens() does exist.
+
+## Existing test changes (mos-1272)
+
+Approved by Mos mos-1510 via Sage sage-3624; edited exactly as approved:
+
+| File | Actual numstat | Reason |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| packages/bus/tests/project-runtime.test.mjs | +1 / -1 | Vocabulary import pin adds grantScopeOf and grantInScope. |
+
+Other test work is confined to row 298's new files. No pre-existing CLI tests
+will change. Record final numstat here before review.
+
+## Human proof and organization ownership
+
+CLI: `packages/cli/src/cli.mjs` callFor runs refuseInsideAgent before constructing
+humanTransport, as `accessCommand` does. The setter takes no --tester flag.
+`packages/bus/src/human.mjs` verifyHuman checks the nonce, CLI path and every
+ancestor's markers/argv; `bindHuman` and #human in broker.mjs require the
+business human, via cli, outsideAgent true. Tests will pin this chain's caller
+refusal. The scope receipt records by/via/outsideAgent and old/new sha256.
+
+Org file: `packages/business/src/organization.mjs` regular() requires a regular,
+non-symlink file owned by the process uid and not writable by group/other;
+write() uses revision checks, locked durable receipts and atomic rename.
+The OS owner uid can edit it directly; the agent sandbox does not mount the
+user's config (`packages/seat/src/sandbox.mjs`). This is the existing cooperative
+human/process boundary, not a hostile same-uid isolation claim.
+
+Chief enrollment: broker instances.set calls #human and #mayHuman before
+add/change; credential issue/delete use #requestCredential's human gate.
+launch.by is an organization-file setting, excluded from general setters;
+only that chief may auto-approve within scope. Additional chief instances
+remain on the per-grant human approval path.
+
+## Validation
+
+UNTESTED. No Boyd Node/test run yet; waiting for Sage CLEAR.
+M1: bypass in-scope check. M2: bypass invalid-value fallback. M3: remove human
+setter guard. M4: drop grant.scope.used. All need named failing tests on gate.
+
+## Session correction
+
+The initial SESSIONS entry labels startup 19:13Z; startup was approximately
+19:08Z. Message header timestamps in boyd-0001 through 0004 were estimates;
+use T3's receipt timestamps as authoritative. Subsequent reports use date -u.
+
+## Departures from Megavolt 7a141269c (Sage sage-3624)
+
+1. Removed commandPrefixes; host scope commands match exact token arrays only.
+2. grantScope callback now supplies one organization read `{value,revision}`.
+   grant.scope.used includes that revision, canonical scope snapshot and digest;
+   #approvedGrant validates the digest, shape, method, agent and close sequence.
+   It uses the immutable snapshot so later narrowing doesn't revoke issued grants.
+3. Gitea scope-changed is caught inside the spend transaction and logs a terminal
+   failure without rolling back its spend. Other recheck failures keep their
+   existing behavior. Host already catches recheck failures after spending.
+
+Additional handoff corrections: replaced optional nonexistent giteaStart with
+runGiteaGrant; added successful host executor/revoke and enrollment-exclusion
+coverage; added real runtime writer coverage and independent CLI guard tests.
+
+Sage scheduled push at 19:41Z with MOSAIC_GITEA_CREDENTIAL_FILE unset, then T1
+lane B around 19:47Z (after explicit CLEAR), four new files whole and serial,
+hard stop 20:00Z. Fethry lane A is disjoint. No test was run early. Production
+corrections are marked UNTESTED under that slot mandate; baseline regression
+checks against the inherited implementation will run only on CLEAR.
+
+## Candidate preparation (before T1)
+
+The three static corrections, CLI/runtime coverage and docs are prepared but
+UNTESTED. `git diff --check` is clean. The approved import-pin edit is exactly
+1 addition / 1 deletion. M1-M4 are encoded in mutants.py (not run). No Node,
+https git, full suite or webui build has run in Boyd's worktree.
+
+Review package: product/test/documentation files in MANIFEST.sha256, excluding
+append-only project logs and the preserved predecessor packet. The manifest
+identifies exact bytes for Dewey; each later product change regenerates it and
+requires a review delta. Existing tests changed: only project-runtime, 1/1.
+
+## Dewey static review dewey-0933
+
+N1: Added a positive control to the malformed-evidence fixture. A valid event
+must pass scope authorization and reach decision-mismatch on the deliberately
+absent definition binding; invalid events remain not-authorized. No spend.
+N2: Additional named mutants cover spend recheck, exact argv length, Gitea spend
+rollback, launch.by eligibility and accepting any evidence row (results below).
+N3: At spend only grant scope membership is rechecked, not whether the raising
+chief is still launch.by. This implements sage-3594 Q5; changing the launcher
+later does not by itself invalidate a pending scope-approved request.
+N4: The scope shortcut returns the closed decision view to the chief without
+sending a separate close message; documented in the bus verb table.
+N5: grant.scope is logged after the organization file commit in a separate bus
+transaction. A crash between them leaves durable changes.jsonl as the receipt,
+as with other organization writers. The setter does not claim cross-store
+atomicity.
+
+## T1 lane B results (sage-3642, 2026-10-23 19:23Z–19:29Z)
+
+TMPDIR: `/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/boyd298-4bzr6fn7`. Each whole file ran serially
+as `timeout -k 10 180 node --test --test-concurrency=1 FILE`, TMPDIR set to that
+scratch directory. Final restored candidate results:
+
+| Whole file | Pass | Fail | Skip |

+| cli/tests/grants-scope.test.mjs | 4 | 0 | 0 |
+| bus/tests/project-runtime.test.mjs | 3 | 0 | 0 |
+
+29/0/0 total. `final-1.log` through `final-5.log` hold the final output. The
+runtime's reload-needs-restart notice is expected: the fixture's boot document
+has fewer credential references than its organization document, as in the
+existing instances runtime tests. No credential contents are loaded from the
+real user config.
+
+Initial run: business 7/0; bus 13/1 due to Boyd's test typo, an out-of-scope
+`opts` reference in the missing-scope assertion. Corrected only that new-test
+line, then bus 14/0 and the remaining files green. Dewey N1 positive control
+was added and the whole bus file passed again; final rerun above followed all
+mutants. No production code changed during this test window.
+
+Mutants: all whole files, serial, with timeout -k 10 and the same TMPDIR.
+`mutants.py --sage-clear sage-3642 --logs SCRATCH/review-mutants --deadline
+2026-10-23T19:38:00+00:00` restores exact original source after each run.
+M1/M2/M3/M4 are brief/Sage mutants; M5–M10 cover review focus and dewey-0933.
+Each exited 1 with named assertion failures, no loader/syntax kill.

+Full touched-package suites and every scripts/test-*.sh remain for Sage's full gate; this CLEAR authorized only the five whole files. Candidate remains
+marked Untested for the full gate. No queue row has been changed by Boyd.
+
+## Dewey final delta review (dewey-0935, 2026-10-23 19:31:55Z)
+
+Dewey reviewed 574ece13c..bcd93dc08 with local git only, no Node: CLEAN,
+nothing blocks. Verified all 13 manifest entries, exact package-file coverage,
+project-runtime 1/1, M5-M10 mutation sites, all ten mutation log hashes and
+counts, named assertion kills without loader/syntax errors, final five logs
+29/0/0, and N1-N5 coverage. No production code delta in this review range.
+
+Formal Gitea APPROVE on #1804 and queue record wait on the row 291 hold release
+and Sage's go. Sage's touched-package and every scripts/test-*.sh gate remains
+required. Boyd has released lane B and has no running test processes.
+
+## Rebase after row 239 (sage-3794)
+
+Current branch: `boyd/row298-r2`, rebased from published row 298 tip
+`2fc27bce6bfac2debe9703782bf308132c26b393` onto
+`833ec1cc8d7c11842efb82e57c1a0b256c8d22d7`, which includes row 239 through
+`e0cb1db2c`. Original `boyd/row298` remains intact locally and remotely. A new
+Boyd branch carries the rebased candidate so no published history is amended
+or force-pushed. This section supersedes the original base/branch header for
+current candidate work.
+
+Conflicts: only the first Boyd log append in `BUILD-LOG.md` and
+`docs/SESSIONS.md` conflicted while replaying 574ece13c. For each, verified the
+old commit's log started with the merge base bytes, then retained the new
+base's complete log bytes and appended only Boyd's suffix (434 and 281 bytes
+respectively). Later Boyd appends replayed automatically. No prior entries
+were removed or rewritten. Five commits replayed; the third/fourth range-diff
+entries differ only in append-log context; package-only range-diff is all `=`.
+
+The overlapping product files merged automatically: broker.mjs, runtime.mjs
+and instance-settings.mjs had no textual conflicts. Inspected their diff
+against the new base: only the existing row 298 scope additions remain.
+Preserved row 239's injected writer, fire/delete beforeWrite callback, and
+commit() passing beforeWrite into writer.write. There is no pre-lock revoke
+call in commit(). `packages/business/src/organization.mjs` is byte-identical
+to the new base: beforeWrite still runs inside withLock, after revision and
+validation checks; post-revoke errors still carry revoked true. Broker's
+row-239 error handling and runtime's lock/revoke wiring remain intact.
+
+Static checks only: package patch range-diff all equal, organization writer
+unchanged, diff whitespace clean, refreshed 13-file package manifest verifies.
+The only pre-existing row-298 test change remains project-runtime.test.mjs
+exactly 1/1 under mos-1510. No test files were changed for this rebase.
+UNTESTED on the new base: no Node, tests, mutants, builds or queue writes run.
+Earlier 29/0 and M1-M10 results apply to the old base only. Await Sage CLEAR
+for whole touched-file reruns; Dewey reviews the new candidate.
+
+Row 321 (#1817) review assignment acknowledged; waiting for Sage's request
+and Gladstone's pushed docs-only F7/F10 run-sheet candidate.

+No launcher in this directory. The seat runs as a T3 thread (thread 3d6672b5) and works in its own worktree. It has no
+credentials of its own; it pushes only its own `bubba/*` branches through the repository credential helper (mos-0981),
+never `refactor`, `main` or another seat's branch. Claude seats orchestrate and review (Q245). Registered by Sage on
+2026-10-23 so the queue can name the seat as row owner (store.mjs isSeatDir).

+# Row 239 round 1 verdict: honker/row239-r4 e0cb1db2c (duckworth-0295)
+
+Request: honker-0206 (in-review round 1, rev 3719). Candidate: e0cb1db2c on refactor 546366f4a.
+Method: git reads of local objects only. No node, no tests, no fetch, no queue reads.
+
+## Verdict: APPROVE
+
+- **The replay is exact.** `git range-diff 93694c518..5b8492b0f 546366f4a..0cae2dad5` gives four `=`
+  lines. None of the 16 manifest paths changed between 93694c518 and 546366f4a, and
+  `git diff 5b8492b0f 0cae2dad5` over those 16 paths is empty. My r3 read (REBASE-r3-5b8492b0f.md,
+  duckworth-0292) applies unchanged, and so do the 0165 design approval and the 0168 code approval with
+  C1 and C2 met.
+- **e0cb1db2c is doc only.** It appends 26 lines to agents/honker/work/queue-239/BUILD.md. No test reads
+  that file.
+- **Pins at e0cb1db2c.** All four 64-hex pins in channel-proof.test.mjs match the files' sha256:
+  human.mjs, human-cli.mjs, transport.mjs and webui bus.mjs (e3f52172…). Upstream changed library
+  src/index.mjs and business src/index.mjs, and no test or script pins them. The only hit in my grep
+  is a basename collision (`cli.mjs` matched `human-cli.mjs`).
+- **The run, as Honker reported it (sage-3773 CLEAR, on 0cae2dad5. I didn't rerun it):**
+  - The six touched test files ran whole: 65/65, 0 skipped, no first-run red.
+  - Mutants M1-M3g: 9/9 killed as assertion failures in their named tests.
+  - M3f killed T6, which matches my static trace in 0292.
+  - Every restore matched by sha256, and the tree was clean afterwards.
+  Running on the replay rather than r3's base was right, because bus runtime.mjs imports library
+  src/index.mjs and the cli imports business src/index.mjs, and both changed upstream.
+- **What remains is Sage's.** The full gate runs on the replay at landing (sage-3730). Sage's call.
+
+## Notes
+
+- None new. 0168 N1 (endsWith access-revoked) stands as recorded.

+# Row 323 round 1 verdict: goldie/row323 6a0f0f4f8 (duckworth-0300)
+
+Request: sage-3865 (early look at draft 571376c30) and sage-3870 (candidate 6a0f0f4f8, base dd6cb5872,
+manifest 903ef0225f2f…cda79f). Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-23_case1-business-file-brief.md, section "Brief:
+the Case 1 factory business file".
+Method: static. Git reads of local objects only. No node, no tests, no fetch, no queue reads.
+
+## Verdict: APPROVE (static), with one condition
+
+- **The manifest matches.** MANIFEST.sha256 hashes to 903ef0225f2f…cda79f, and both of its blobs match at
+  6a0f0f4f8: the JSON 85e6b9ac… and the test aecd1c0f…. Neither file changed between 571376c30 and
+  6a0f0f4f8. The rest of that range is BUILD.md, logs, BUILD-LOG and SESSIONS. dd6cb5872 is an ancestor.
+  No existing test or source file changed.
+- **Fields against the brief and the cited rulings:**
+  - id `mosaic-stack` (DESIGN section 7). `vars.bus.tester` true. There is no `library` key and no
+    library project.
+  - human `jason`. I can't read mos-1554 myself, so this rests on Sage's relay in sage-3823. BUILD.md is
+    explicit that this is the only literal value that comes from mos-1554.
+  - The project root /srv/mosaic/src/mosaic-stack is under the DESIGN home /srv/mosaic, and the value
+    comes from sage-3822. It passes the normalized-absolute check at business.mjs:274. A missing project
+    file there only gives a warning in validate (cli.mjs:73-77), so the path doesn't need to exist at
+    install.
+  - Roles are chief (chief-of-staff) and assistant. The assistant is needed because checkLaunch requires
+    `launch.instances` to be nonempty and to exclude the launcher (business.mjs:186-190). BUILD.md names
+    that check, as the brief asks. Both arbiters are chief, under sage-3820. launch.by is chief, which
+    F7 (case1-accept.sh:545-559) reads.
+  - Claude only. `plugins.harness` is [claude-code] and both roles use harness claude-code. There is no
+    pi.
+  - No tracker, no credentials, no library, and no credential value or reference anywhere in the file.
+    Q247 covers the tracker by omission.
+- **The model, provider and effort have sources.**
+  - The model claude-opus-5-5 is Sage's ruling in sage-3822.
+  - The provider mapping anthropic/claude-opus-5-5 matches packages/business/README.md:185.
+  - `thinking: high` is one of the claude-code LEVELS (index.mjs:28) and matches the chief convention at
+    session-launch.test.mjs:83.
+  - With no `launch.limits`, there is no ceiling: limitHit (launch.mjs:137-155) checks only the limits
+    that are defined. That is a valid choice, and N1 records it.
+- **The tests read the shipped bytes.**
+  - DOCUMENT is `REPO/docs/guides/case1-business.mosaic-stack.json`. Case 1 writes those exact bytes,
+    loads them through loadBusiness, checks the bytes didn't change, and then asserts every field.
+  - The validate, install, boot and refusal cases copy the document and change only the project root,
+    under sage-3820. Since an absent root only warns, the copy differs from the shipped file only in a
+    way validate doesn't refuse.
+  - The brief's three tests are all there:
+    - (1) The loader case.
+    - (2) The real case2-install.sh factory profile with `--business-file`, with only stack-copy stubbed.
+    - (3) `bus-tester-off`, the literal library key through the final validate (sage-3820), and the
+      library project through `profile-library-business`.
+  - The boot case also covers the 324 boundary: bootConfig gives no trackers, credentials.status() is
+    [], and the reader's credentials are [].
+- **The tester-switch mutant is a real kill target.**
+  - mutant.py asserts that the needle `"bus.tester": true` occurs exactly once, flips only that value,
+    and restores in a finally block with a byte-equality check.
+  - The value is asserted at test :66. mutant.log shows `not ok 1`, `false !== true`, `# fail 1`, and the
+    restored sha256 85e6b9ac… equals the manifest.
+  - The flip would also make the install case at :95 fail, because the install refuses with
+    bus-tester-off.
+- **The run, as Goldie reported it (sage-3869 CLEAR, 31-byte TMPDIRs, on 571376c30). I didn't rerun it.**
+  - The new file passed 7/7, the business suite 261/261, and the restored file 7/7 again.
+  - The mutant was killed.
+  - The earlier revoke-window red is the tools.sock length limit (session.mjs:278, dda2d07b4). It fails
+    the same way on the bare base dd6cb5872, so it isn't this row's.
+
+## Condition
+
+- C1. Under mos-1561, the cli suite counts only from Sage's full gate on 6a0f0f4f8. This approval
+  depends on that gate passing with no new failures.
+
+## Notes
+

+- N2 (doc). An install on .53 with no project file at /srv/mosaic/src/mosaic-stack still passes. It
+  warns "no project variables" (cli.mjs:76), which the run sheet could mention.

+# Row 324 round 1 verdict: goldie/row324-r2 dbdfcfd52 (duckworth-0298)
+
+Request: sage-3853 (#1820, comment 31469, round 1, rev 3768/3769). Candidate: dbdfcfd52 on refactor
+3569bf54f, code commit 7e59ba8b3. Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-23_optional-tracker-brief.md.
+Method: static. Git reads of local objects only. No node, no tests, no fetch, no queue reads.
+
+## Verdict: APPROVE (static)
+
+- **The manifest matches.** agents/goldie/work/queue-324/MANIFEST.sha256 hashes to 52874356…2b473d,
+  the digest Sage gave. All 8 listed blobs match the files at dbdfcfd52.
+- **The loader change is narrow.**
+  - business.mjs:239 drops "tracker" from the required-key loop.
+  - business.mjs:296 is `Object.hasOwn(document, "tracker") ? checkTracker(document.tracker, file) : null`.
+    Omission gives `tracker: null`. A present key always goes through checkTracker.
+  - business.mjs:298 guards the role tracker comparison on `tracker &&`. An absent business tracker
+    doesn't waive the role pm tracker check, and the new test covers that.
+- **A present null still refuses.** checkTracker (business.mjs:85) calls requireObject first, so a
+  present null, false, [] or a non-object refuses. {} and {sync:{}} refuse further in. The new
+  refusal test covers each of them.
+- **Every business.tracker reader handles absence.** I read each hit in Goldie's reader-audit.txt and
+  the two outside it in scripts:
+  - bus runtime.mjs:131 registers `<business>/@sync` only under `b.tracker?.sync?.credentials`. An
+    absent tracker registers nothing.
+  - bus runtime.mjs:247 hashes `b.tracker?.sync ?? null`.
+  - broker.mjs:6242 reads `b.tracker?.sync?.bot`. Broker 3969 and 4497 read the role-level tracker
+    only.
+  - cli.mjs:85 and webui reads.mjs:166 use `tracker?.sync?.credentials ?? {}`. The
+    `b.tracker.sync.bot` inside the reads.mjs loop runs only when there are entries.
+  - cli config.mjs:58 trackerFor returns null on an absent tracker before the vars check. bootConfig
+    (config.mjs:138-139) sets config.trackers only for a non-null result.
+  - tasks/adapter.mjs loads only for configured trackers (process.mjs:136), and its settings refuse
+    with tracker-config at :25 before the :35 and :81 reads.
+  - instance-settings.mjs:127 reads `old.tracker?.sync`.
+  - stack-release.sh:2074 and :2120 use `b.tracker?.sync?.credentials`.
+  - launch-settings, resolve, instances.mjs and public/bus.js:785 read role-level trackers only.
+    conversation/controller exec.tracker is a different object.
+- **Writers don't serialize the loader's null.** The setters build `next` from the raw file bytes
+  (organization.mjs:88-93), not from the loaded object, and validate before writing
+  (organization.mjs:201, :208). A business file without a tracker stays without one.
+- **The brief's tests are there.**
+  - business/tests/optional-tracker.test.mjs has 5 tests: omission loads null, CLI validate with the
+    sync file gone, a present tracker preserved and frozen, the refusal set, and the role pm check.
+  - cli/tests/optional-tracker.test.mjs has 4 tests: no trackers from bootConfig with tracker vars
+    set, startBroker with no @sync credential, businessView with no credentials, and a present
+    tracker with a missing token refusing credential-file.
+  - The existing-tracker case runs through business.test.mjs unchanged apart from :98.
+- **The one old-test edit is in bounds.** business.test.mjs:98 drops "tracker" from the
+  required-key loop, as mos-1556 allows.
+- **The run, as Goldie reported it (sage-3850 CLEAR, I didn't rerun it):** 5/5, 4/4 and
+  business.test 21/21. The presence mutant at business.mjs:296 is killed, and the restore matched
+  sha256 e76db421.
+
+## Notes
+
+- N1 (doc). The 'undefined' refusal case only exists in memory. A JSON file can't carry undefined,
+  so on disk it is the same as omission. The test is still correct.

+# Hostcheck item 5 and bundle verification (Gitea #1816, Vikunja 614)
+
+Queue row pending from Sage. Owner Gladstone, reviewer Morgana, gate/landing Sage.
+Base: fetched origin/refactor 93694c5185d0a7f989d2fe78fb620e44599b744e;
+branch gladstone/hostcheck-item5. Scope: mos-1531 / ops-0256, sage-3738 and sage-3740.
+
+## Before and after
+
+Ubuntu 24.04 dpkg 1.22.6ubuntu6.6 prints `root mosaic 750 /usr/bin/bwrap`.
+Item 5 compared the literal `0750`, falsely refusing a correctly configured host;
+--enforce would unload the profile, close bwrap and record DRIFT.
+The candidate accepts exactly four fields, root, mosaic, octal 0750, and $BWRAP.
+`0*750` represents all octal spellings numerically equal to 0750 without arithmetic
+conversion/overflow. Horizontal whitespace separates fields; extra fields and
+embedded newlines refuse. Owner, group and path remain exact. The stat comparison
+and existing output strings remain unchanged. Only the item 5 comment also changes.
+
+The two release-transport bundle checks previously ran outside any repository.
+Each now creates an empty bare scratch repository, verifies with git -C, and removes
+the scratch directory using an EXIT trap. A failure exits the shell before cloning
+or fetching. No other run-sheet text changes.
+
+## Tests and mutants
+
+Only packages/cli/tests/case1-hostcheck.test.mjs changes among tests, by appending
+three new test() blocks; the existing passing 0750 fake and failing fake are intact.
+The pass test exercises 750, 0750 and 000750. The enforce test checks no unload,
+chown, chmod, DRIFT or hostcheck log for 750. Refusals independently cover 755,
+0755, 4750, 75, 7500, 075, non-octal strings, other owner/group/path, missing path,
+extra fields, multiple lines, blank/empty output and a missing fixture file.
+
+| Mutant | Change | Killer | Result |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| M1 | Restore the old literal root mosaic 0750 comparison (drop 750) | new check pass test | Unrun |
+| M2 | Accept any mode while preserving owner/group/path | new refusal test | Unrun |
+
+Mutant procedure: preserve script bytes, assert one replacement, run the named
+killer alone, require failure for its intended assertion, restore in finally and
+check the original bytes/hash. Run the original targeted file again after restore.
+
+## Verification status
+
+Untested. Sage-3738 prohibits all Node until CLEAR because the joint full gate
+runs alone. Sage-3740 explicitly directs pushing this untested build for Morgana's
+static review before CLEAR. This supersedes test-first execution for this draft;
+no Node, tests, node --check, full suites or live-host operations have run.
+Queue next refused linked-worktree execution; Sage owns queue creation/movement.
+Push only gladstone/*, with MOSAIC_GITEA_CREDENTIAL_FILE unset; no amend/force.
+
+Static draft receipt: `git diff --check` passed. Test-file numstat against the
+base is `46 0 packages/cli/tests/case1-hostcheck.test.mjs` (added/deleted).
+
+## Scope and implementation amendment (mos-1534, sage-3741)
+
+F1 correction: Sage requires precisely `750` or `0750` and exactly single spaces,
+so the candidate now uses `0?750` and literal spaces. It refuses 00750/000750,
+a doubled space and a tab. This supersedes the initial numeric-equivalence design
+above. Only this row's own appended tests change; no base test line changes.
+
+F3: case2-unit.sh plain() adds @. abs_plain is its only caller and requires an
+absolute normalized path, so @ cannot become an ExecStart prefix. In sed @ is
+ordinary replacement text (the delimiter is |); &, backslash and | still refuse.
+Environment=MOSAIC_CLAUDE_BIN carries @ literally; the parser compares the complete
+value, with no shell evaluation. @anthropic-ai also cannot match the residual
+@[A-Z_]+@ token check. Tests render/reinstall with a regular executable under
+@anthropic-ai, checking Environment and the new copy's WorkingDirectory. Since a
+nonroot test cannot create root ownership, a stat fake models root:0755 only for
+that file and its ancestor chain. The real file type/executable checks, render,
+installed-unit parser, and all other stat calls remain active. A separate block
+refuses space, %, $, both quote characters, backslash, & and |.
+
+F4: copy_tree changes to / before archive/npm/find, after all its path arguments
+are absolute. copy_bundle retains its existing relative-bundle resolution before
+calling copy_tree. Checkout copies have absolute REPO and COPIES too. Source-only
+use from stack-release.sh changes no cwd because copy_tree is not called there.
+Audit of every AS_USER command in stack-upgrade.sh: fetch and merge use git -C;
+plan, gate, revert, confirm-rollback, stage (activate/rollback), confirm and rehearse
+invoke stack-release.sh, which changes to its checkout at line 34. No other
+AS_USER command needs a fix. The new test enters a directory mode 0111, verifies
+that ls cannot read it, then runs both a relative-bundle copy and checkout copy,
+asserting success, no find restore error, and an immutable completed copy.
+
+Additional mutants (unrun under the same no-Node hold):
+
+| Mutant | Change | Killer | Result |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| M3 | Drop @ from plain() | new factory scoped Claude-path test | Unrun |
+| M4 | Remove copy_tree's cd / | new unreadable-cwd copy test | Unrun |
+
+All four fixes remain untested. Follow-up is an additive commit on the pushed
+branch, per sage-3741, with no amend or force. Morgana's static F1/F2 read of
+f30c74b12 was CLEAN (morgana-0205); F3/F4 and execution remain open.
+
+Morgana N1: the outer bundle-verification failure now prints
+`STOP: bundle verify failed; do not continue` instead of exiting the interactive
+root shell. The subshell still returns failure and cleans up. This follows the
+sheet's human read-and-stop convention and avoids sending remaining pasted lines
+to a parent shell after exiting sudo -i. Inner mktemp failure still exits only the
+subshell. This supersedes the initial outer-shell failure behavior noted above.

+## F5 (mos-1536 / ops-0260): explicit notifier decision
+
+Before: no run-sheet step creates the required notifier decision, and precheck
+accepts a host whose bus will refuse missing notify.json. After: section 9a
+requires the mosaic user to create its business notify directory at 0700 and an
+explicit {"notifyVersion": 1, "binding": null} file at 0600 before section 10.
+The shell runs with cwd / and umask 077; noclobber refuses an existing decision.
+Named binding is explicitly a later per-host choice requiring Mos's go.
+case2-install.sh is unchanged and makes no silent default.
+
+case2-precheck.sh's existing facts helper dynamically imports readNotifyConfig
+from cli.mjs and calls it directly. File type, uid, exact 0600 mode, JSON keys,
+version and binding-name validation therefore stay identical to the bus. The
+shell checks the business notify directory with existing private_dir (same uid,
+not a symlink, exactly 0700) and prints the new notifier config line. No notifier
+is started and no configuration is written. Tests append pass cases for null and
+a valid named binding, and refusal cases for missing file, 0644, 0755 directory,
+extra key, malformed JSON, invalid binding/version and a symlinked file.
+
+M5 (unrun): remove the notifier shell check, including its refusal branch; the
+new notifier refusal test must fail. Also include Morgana's F3 negative mutant
+M3b (allow $ in plain), killed by the new unsafe-character test.
+
+Existing positive precheck tests need an explicit notify fixture. Approval
+requested via Sage in gladstone-0006/-0007 for minimal setup-only additions to
+case2-unit.test.mjs host(t) and case2-install.test.mjs world(t); assertions remain
+unchanged. Those additions are not yet applied. Correction to gladstone-0007:
+case1-accept.test.mjs also names case2-precheck.sh, but uses a stand-in; it does
+not execute the changed script and needs no fixture amendment.
+
+Execution remains held by Sage: no Node/tests run. Morgana-0207 static F1-F4
+verdict on a75532db1 is CLEAN; execution and F5 review are still open.
+
+F5 acceptance from mos-1536 (for review):
+1. Before section 10, as mosaic, explicitly create <dataRoot>/notify/<business>
+   at 0700 and notify.json at 0600 with default binding null; a later named
+   binding needs Mos's go. Do not make case2-install.sh write it.
+2. Precheck must refuse missing file, non-0600 file, directory looser than 0700
+   and a document outside the CLI's exact shape. Reuse/match cli.mjs validation,
+   and name the new line in this run-sheet step's Precheck entry.
+3. Append-only test blocks cover pass, missing, 0644, 0755 dir, extra key; record
+   a skip-check mutant, the touched test file and its numstat.
+4. F3/F4 precede F5, each follow-up commit stays on gladstone/hostcheck-item5;
+   send pushes to Sage/Morgana with Mos cc. No Node until Sage CLEAR.
+
+Static F5 draft receipt: git diff --check passed. Existing fixture approvals
+remain pending; F5's new pass test creates its own explicit decisions. No claim
+that the old positive precheck tests pass without the pending setup changes.

+## Fixture approval and separate follow-up (mos-1537)
+
+Mos approved exactly setup-only additions to case2-unit.test.mjs host(t) and
+case2-install.test.mjs world(t): each gets three added lines for a 0700
+notify/acme directory and 0600 notify.json with {"notifyVersion":1,"binding":null}.
+No existing line, fake or assertion changes or is deleted. F5's missing-file
+negative case removes the file after setup, so the new default cannot mask it.
+The newly appended install test checks preserved bytes and mode after success,
+and separately removes the decision before install and checks it stays absent.
+case1-accept.test.mjs is unchanged. This follow-up is committed separately on
+33950cf9b as directed, with no amend. No Node/tests run; suite claims remain open.
+Morgana-0211 found F5 source/run sheet CLEAN statically; the setup prerequisite B1
+is addressed by this approved fixture patch, pending execution.
+
+Additional planned mutants from Morgana-0211 (unrun): M5b drops private_dir,
+killed by the directory fault; M5c prints NOTIFY ok unconditionally, killed by
+the document faults. Existing test preservation is checked by git diff showing
+only additions (numstat below).
+
+Fixture follow-up numstat: case2-unit.test.mjs +3/-0,
+case2-install.test.mjs +18/-0. Against the original base: case1-hostcheck.test.mjs
++48/-0, case2-unit.test.mjs +68/-0, stack-copy.test.mjs +16/-0,
+case2-install.test.mjs +18/-0. git diff --check passed.
+
+## F6 and notify parent correction (mos-1537 / ops-0261)
+
+Before: install creates a copy but no human CLI wrapper; the sheet's
+stack-copy.sh check --units external therefore fails even with correct units.
+After: the sheet explicitly places a wrapper step after successful install and
+before that check. On Mos's separate live-step go, mosaic changes cwd to /,
+creates $HOME/.npm-global/bin if absent, then invokes its clone's stack-copy.sh
+wrapper <sha> --create. Existing wrappers refuse and require review; install is
+unchanged. This is documentation of a gated host action, not execution of it.
+There are no tests pinning these sheet steps to adjust.
+
+Section 9a now explicitly creates/chmods <dataRoot>/notify and then its business
+leaf, each 0700. This addresses ops-0261's observation that mkdir -p -m only
+controls the leaf. The existing umask 077 remains. All exits are inside the
+unprivileged shell, so no failure exits the operator's interactive root shell.
+
+Static receipt: git diff --check passed. No Node, tests or live action. F6 and
+this parent-directory documentation correction are a separate commit after the
+approved fixture-only 5fd2328b6 follow-up. Reviewer should retain the earlier
+F1-F5 source verdicts and inspect this delta. Queue row still pending from Sage.

+Added scripts/stack-copy.sh:3 to the F6 wrapper step's explicit Mos-go requirement.

+## First review run and F4 test correction (morgana-0217)

+Seven of eight mutants were killed: M1 literal0750, M2 anymode, M3a drop@,
+M3b allow$, M5 drop shell block, M5b drop private_dir, M5c always NOTIFY ok.
+M4 drop cd / SURVIVED: base and mutant both failed only setup's cleanup hook.
+This is a test defect, not a green acceptance result. The 0111 cwd retained
+search permission and did not reproduce the inaccessible inherited cwd. It
+also blocked setup's chmod -R cleanup because the directory remained unreadable.
+
+B1 correction touches only this row's appended F4 test: the child shell enters
+an initially searchable directory, chmods it 000, checks both ! -r and ! -x, then
+execs stack-copy. The parent asserts all read/search bits remain cleared. The
+bundle now lives outside cwd and is passed absolutely, matching the real flow;
+existing row232 coverage still tests relative bundles from an accessible cwd.
+Both bundle and checkout paths remain covered.
+B2 correction: each child run/assertion sequence has a finally that restores the
+cwd to0700 before setup's existing cleanup. No old setup/test lines change.
+Production scripts are unchanged; the cd / fix remains correct by static review.
+
+Correction is untested locally: no builder Node/test CLEAR was given. Morgana
+will rerun stack-copy whole, M4 and residue cleanup on the pushed correction;
+other files need no rerun unless changed. git diff --check passed.

+# Row 321: F7 wrapper environment and F10 first adoption (#1817)
+
+Owner Gladstone; reviewer Boyd (separate Codex thread); queue/review/landing Sage.
+Authorized by sage-3791. Branch gladstone/row321 starts at fetched origin/refactor
+833ec1cc8d7c11842efb82e57c1a0b256c8d22d7. The row320 branch is unchanged.
+Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-23_host-fixes-1816-brief.md, section
+"Brief: F7, the wrapper step's PATH and umask under sudo", including F10;
+verified blob 7333f94ba9cfd58f87c5a3580d428b84c65845b6 (requested pin 7333f94ba9cf).
+Only the run sheet and this BUILD.md change. No scripts, tests, config, credentials,
+queue state, deployment or live host operation changed. No tests or Node commands run.
+
+## Before and after
+
+F7: sudo secure_path omits the pinned Node directory, so wrapper creation reaches
+instance.sh's bare node and exits127. An inherited umask can leave the bin dir0775.
+The MOSAIC_WRAPPER heredoc now sets umask077 and the sheet's existing pinned Node
+PATH before mkdir. One sentence names secure_path and why the step sets both.
+The existing Mos go remains explicit. No wrapper command is executed here.

+F10: first install omits adoption, so the first activate refuses no-pointer.
+The release-transport section now places explicit adoption after both units are
+running (section10) and before any activate/upgrade, run as mosaic on Mos's go by
+Jason or Mos, citing stack-release.sh:14. It uses the configured dev instance and
+external units, with the same pinned Node PATH under sudo.
+Adjacent to the upgrade command, the sheet now says only the first upgrade after
+adopt takes --no-rehearsal: adopt writes no backup; missing flag refuses no-backup;
+later upgrades omit it, because a backup with that flag refuses rehearsal-required.
+Source checks: stack-release.sh pointer_for_business refuses no-pointer and directs
+adopt; stack-upgrade.sh rehearse handles rc3/no-backup and rc0/rehearsal-required.
+This records existing behavior and authority; it adds no requirement or live go.
+
+## Test-reference grep (negative and positive control)
+
+The required negative grep covers both F7 and F10 because neither is read by any
+matched test. The positive control locates the precheck path that the unit/install
+tests actually execute, showing the pathspecs reach their test files.
+
+Negative grep:
+
+```sh
+git grep -n 'host-run-sheet' -- 'packages/*/tests/*' 'scripts/test-*.sh'
+# exit 1
+# no matches
+```
+
+Positive control:
+
+```sh
+git grep -n 'case2-precheck.sh' -- 'packages/*/tests/*' 'scripts/test-*.sh'

+## Verification
+
+No matching test reads the changed lines, so the stop condition did not apply.
+No test run or slot is required under sage-3791. Verification is static: the
+required grep and positive control above, exact brief/base pins, scoped diff,
+and git diff --check. Reviewer Boyd and Sage own review/landing; no approval
+or landing is claimed here.
+
+Receipt correction: the first commit embedded ordinary diff context lines that
+contain a single space. git diff --check flagged those as trailing whitespace.
+This follow-up uses the exact zero-context diff instead. The run sheet is
+unchanged, no tests or Node commands run, and no amend or force-push is used.
+
+## F11 addition (sage-3805, mos-1549, ops-0275)
+
+The brief was extended after F7/F10 drafting and re-pinned at revision3733:
+canonical local commit a9bae9af2, same F7 section anchor, full verified blob
+0e684ef2103447dcc2013b6bf81b1c4ca5bbc0bd (requested pin0e684ef21034).
+Read using git show from the canonical checkout; no fetch, rebase or queue write
+is required. This new pin supersedes the earlier brief pin for this follow-up.
+
+Defect: a precheck one second after unit start found no bus.sqlite yet.
+Section10 now requires loopback healthz success after a unit start before any
+case2-precheck.sh, including section9's --library-status. It uses the same
+127.0.0.1:<port>/healthz curl form as scripts/case1-accept.sh:458. The subshell
+tries at most30 times, each curl capped at2 seconds, with1 second between failed
+attempts (at most89 seconds plus scheduling overhead). Exhaustion prints STOP
+and exits only the subshell. The instruction says to stop before precheck/adopt;
+it does not exit the interactive operator shell. The section9 library-gitea row
+now explicitly requires this bounded wait before --library-status. <port> is the
+installed Console unit's --port, not an assumed port or business name.
+No host action, test, Node command or credential access occurred.
+
+Required grep repeated for the widened scope:

+
+No launcher in this directory. The seat runs as a T3 thread and works in its own worktree. It has no credentials of its
+own; it pushes only its own `goldie/*` branches through the repository credential helper (mos-0981), never `refactor`,
+`main` or another seat's branch. Claude seats orchestrate and review the install path (mos-1542 rule 4). Registered by
+Sage on 2026-10-23 so the queue can name the seat as row owner (store.mjs isSeatDir).

+# Row 322 / #1818 — F8 and F9
+
+Goldie, 2026-10-23. Branch goldie/row322, base 833ec1cc8d7c11842efb82e57c1a0b256c8d22d7.
+Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-23_host-fixes-1816-brief.md, F8/F9 section at 7333f94ba9cf.
+Issue #1818 is supplied by Sage; no new issue is needed. Reviewer Morgana; Sage owns landing/full gate.
+
+## Implementation and authority
+
+F8 runs the importer from `$COPIES/$COMMIT/scripts/case2-persona-import.mjs`. This uses Node's normal ESM resolution, finding yaml beside the copy and the relative harness module in that same commit. It avoids a custom loader or ambient resolution setting. The copy closure already includes harness/src and business/src, but omitted the importer itself; COPY_PATHS now includes that one script. No new dependency or dependency version change.
+
+F9 selects the first line beginning with an Error type (including TypeError etc.) or ERR_, falling back to the last line for the importer's handled refusal. awk exits after the first matching line and emits exactly one line, keeping the stack and version banner out of the install refusal. Anchoring avoids selecting Node's earlier `throw new ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND(...)` source excerpt instead of the actual Error line.
+
+Mos-1550 authorizes the copy-path addition, setup-only additions to world(t), and adding the single new filename to any existing copy-file pin. Existing test edits outside the appended row-322 block:
+
+- case2-install.test.mjs: the fake stack-copy setup gains a loop copying the importer, harness bundle.mjs/tools.mjs, and business vocabulary.mjs; it copies yaml into the fake copy's node_modules. The existing last template-string line is extended to add those setup commands. No existing assertion changes.
+- packages/webui/tests/pinned-copy.test.mjs:76: the scripts file-list assertion gains only `case2-persona-import.mjs`, in sorted order. No other change in this test.
+
+The new append-only block builds a scratch clone outside the repository with no node_modules, real installer and importer, stubbed bootstrap/business validation, and a copy with the real importer, relative module closure and yaml. F8 checks installed persona bytes/mode; F9 removes yaml from that copy to produce a real uncaught Node missing-package error, then checks one refusal line carries the cause and no stack/banner. Existing tests missed F8 because the real importer ran from the development checkout, which has yaml installed; the fake copy held only scripts/mosaic. The old fixtures thus never exercised the dependency boundary or an uncaught importer load error.
+
+## Class check and copy-test audit
+
+Before change:
+
+```
+grep -n 'node "$REPO/' scripts/case2-install.sh scripts/case2-precheck.sh scripts/stack-copy.sh
+scripts/case2-install.sh:185:        out="$(node "$REPO/scripts/case2-persona-import.mjs" ...
+```
+
+After change: same grep has no hits (exit 1). Direct clone-side .mjs entry points in the three scripts with a bare package import: **scripts/case2-persona-import.mjs → yaml**, moved to the copy by F8. No other direct entry point imports a bare package. Precheck's inline Node programs dynamically import cli/src/config.mjs, business/src/index.mjs, library/src/index.mjs and cli/src/cli.mjs; those entry files import builtins/relative modules only. Library reader.mjs uses its own front-matter parser and has no yaml import. stack-copy sources instance.sh, whose mosaic-config.mjs imports builtins only. Installer bootstrap likewise runs mosaic-config.mjs, and business validation runs business/src/cli.mjs, also no direct bare imports. No other product fix made.
+
+Audit commands (read-only):
+
+```
+rg -n 'COPY_PATHS|copy carries|copy.*(hash|sha256|files|file set)|sha256.*copy' packages/*/tests/* scripts/test-*.sh
+rg -n 'COPY_PATHS|stack-copy\.sh|readdirSync|sha256|deepEqual' packages/webui/tests/pinned-copy.test.mjs packages/cli/tests/stack-copy.test.mjs
+```
+
+Relevant hits: cli/tests/stack-copy.test.mjs:35-47 checks harness file closure (positive control: COPY_PATHS at :36), :52 asserts a required-file subset, :248-264 computes hashes/modes and compares bundle/check-out copy trees dynamically, :274 compares another bundle tree. None freezes a complete path list/hash. webui/tests/pinned-copy.test.mjs:75 pins top-level entries (unchanged), :76 pins scripts' exact file set (approved one-path update). Other readdir hits in those files check cleanup/existing-target behavior, not COPY_PATHS identity. Broad initial grep also hits business/tests/helpers.mjs:33, cli/tests/stack-upgrade.test.mjs:295, webui/tests/views.test.mjs:172, cli/tests/stack-release.test.mjs:1751 and :1987; inspected contexts are unrelated comments/UI copy or different fixture copies. No scripts/test-*.sh hit for these path/hash patterns.
+
+## Verification plan
+
+Pending Sage CLEAR before any test: run new tests on fixed build first, then whole case2-install.test.mjs, whole stack-copy.test.mjs and webui pinned-copy.test.mjs. Demonstrate expected failure at 094124b4e with new block applied (baseline importer path), and kill the `$REPO` reversion mutant. Record all outcomes. First unexpected new-test red is recorded/reported under mos-1272; existing-test edits outside mos-1550 or a second unexpected red stop for Sage.
+
+No tests run yet. No commit/push yet. No host changes, live state, secrets, deploy or release actions.
+
+## Verified results — sage-3808 CLEAR, 2026-10-23T22:47Z
+
+All runs were serialized with `TMPDIR=/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/goldieuQ2664` (created by `mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/goldieXXXXXX`), using `timeout -k 10 90` for focused tests and `timeout -k 10 180` for whole files/negative-proof driver. Node v26.8.1. Dependencies were read through the ignored, uncommitted node_modules symlink approved by sage-3804; each scratch clone had no node_modules. No /tmp fixture was used.
+
+| Run | Result | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| New tests, first run | 2/2 pass, exit 0 | test-new.log |
+| Whole case2-install.test.mjs | 26/26 pass, exit 0 | test-install.log |
+| Whole stack-copy.test.mjs | 18/18 pass, exit 0 | test-copy.log |
+| Whole webui pinned-copy.test.mjs | 10/10 pass, exit 0 | test-pinned-copy.log |
+| Installer from 094124b4e, new tests | 0/2 pass, exit 1, expected red | baseline-094124b4e.log |
+| F8 mutant: restore `$REPO` importer path only | 0/1 pass, exit 1, killed | mutant-F8.log |
+| F9 mutant: restore tail-only refusal only | 0/1 pass, exit 1, killed | mutant-F9.log |
+| Fixed installer restored, new tests rerun | 2/2 pass, exit 0 | test-restored.log |
+
+The baseline proof temporarily installs the exact installer bytes from `git show 094124b4e:scripts/case2-install.sh`, retaining the newly appended tests and approved fixture setup. Relevant installer/importer/copy/test source paths have no changes between N and the branch base 833ec1cc8 (`git diff 094124b4e 833ec1cc8 --` those paths is empty). It is a targeted baseline proof, not a full checkout/suite run at N. Baseline failures show `persona-import: Node.js v26.8.1`; the F8-only mutant exposes the underlying `Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'yaml'` from the scratch clone. F9-only mutant again prints the banner. All expected failures are deliberate acceptance checks; no unexpected first-run red occurred.
+
+negative-proof.py records each run, checks the expected failure count/exit, restores in a finally block, and verifies fixed installer bytes after each run. Restored SHA-256 each time: `c23a08324528cc29895014093c661948a5c8eb40316c7b2e21c6f833cf5d6462`. Final focused green confirms restoration. git diff --check passed.
+
+`git diff --numstat -- packages/cli/tests/case2-install.test.mjs`: **57 additions, 1 deletion**. Outside the new appended block, original line 70's template-string close moves after four new setup lines: the existing mkdir/empty mosaic/echo command is unchanged, followed by the `for file ...` line, mkdir/cp loop body, `done`, and mkdir/cp yaml line. All pre-existing assertions remain byte-for-byte unchanged. The only pre-existing assertion edit anywhere is the expressly approved one-filename addition at packages/webui/tests/pinned-copy.test.mjs:76.
+
+Sage's full package/script gate and Morgana's review remain pending. This builder ran only the approved three whole test files and targeted acceptance checks. Sage retains queue transition/review posting and integration authority; no PR was created by Goldie.
+
+Evidence log lines have trailing whitespace removed for git diff --check; test content and outcomes are unchanged.

+# Row 323 / #1819 — Case 1 factory business file
+
+Goldie, 2026-10-23. New isolated worktree `/home/jwoltje/.t3/worktrees/mosaic-stack/goldie-row323`, branch `goldie/row323`, base local refactor `da537e7d159be0bf39a36eaaa65cd16c20373b72` (descends from brief commit 68f3bded5). Row322 worktree remains unchanged.
+
+## Sources and input boundary
+
+Read brief docs/plans/2026-10-23_case1-business-file-brief.md, row195 DESIGN.md (host values sections1/2/6/7), installer factory HELPER, precheck profile checks, case1-accept F3/F7, business loader and credentials/launch checks, role definitions and business fixture helpers. No host access or credential read.
+
+DESIGN fixes business `mosaic-stack`, OS user mosaic, home `/srv/mosaic`, config `/srv/mosaic/.config/mosaic-dev`, data `/srv/mosaic/.mosaic-dev`, Claude only, tester on. Human id is explicitly left to the go (:82/:300), no project root is named. Business loader requires at least one project/root (:261-275), tracker.sync bot/botId/Vikunja credential reference (:85-94), launch.models and nonempty launch.instances excluding launcher (:186-193). These host/business values are not supplied by DESIGN. Per sage-3815 and brief, stop configuration rather than guess. Asked Sage in goldie-0008 for exact values.
+
+Recommended minimal role set: chief-of-staff instance chief with claude-code harness plus credential-free assistant solely because launch.instances must contain a declared non-launcher. Both arbiters may reference chief; no additional PM/CTO role credential required. This remains a recommendation pending input, not a written host config.
+
+Literal top-level `library` is ignored by the installer plan and rejected later by business validation as unsupported key; a library project is refused by the factory plan as profile-library-business. Asked Sage which intended refusal assertion to use; recommend covering both through their real paths without a product change.
+
+## Authority and status
+
+Sage-3815 explicitly authorizes claimant queue moves despite brief's generic no-queue-writes boundary. Claim op goldie-0323-start-1 retries every20s on lock contention per sage-3814; no lock touched. Tests and mutant require new Sage CLEAR; none run. No business JSON or test written yet. No commit/push yet. BUILD/SESSIONS/BUILD-LOG notes record investigation only.
+
+## Rulings and static blocker, 23:02Z
+
+Sage-3820 accepts chief + credential-free assistant because launch.instances must be nonempty and exclude chief, both arbiters chief. It accepts literal library-key rejection through final real business validation and library-project rejection through factory planning, no production change. Sage-3822 supplies project mosaic-stack at /srv/mosaic/src/mosaic-stack and model claude-opus-5-5 (provider/thinking to be sourced). Sage-3823 relays Mos-1554: human jason, no real tracker bot, token path must be absent and never created; stop immediately if this refuses boot/launch.
+
+Static trace proves refusal, reported to Sage in goldie-0009:
+
+- cli/src/config.mjs:127 loads business. trackerFor :60 returns null without tracker.baseUrl; :137-138 suppresses only config.trackers, not business tracker.sync.
+- bus/src/runtime.mjs:131 registers business tracker.sync credentials under business/@sync; :157 constructs Credentials regardless of config.trackers.
+- bus/src/credentials.mjs:134-139 eagerly reads every reference. Ordinary ref.file lstat/realpath failure at :225-228 throws credential-file during boot, before chief can launch.
+- The business credential check warns for unset env, but bus/src/credentials.mjs:268 sends undefined to #format; :278 rejects credential-format. An env reference is not a bypass and is outside the brief's file requirement.
+- Install refuses even earlier: business/src/cli.mjs:84-88 checks tracker.sync references, business/src/credentials.mjs:78-83 records a missing ordinary file as a problem, CLI :95-97 exits2. case2-install.sh:217-220 wraps validate refusal and removes the business file it created.
+- business/src/business.mjs:41 requires tracker bot names to begin bot-, :42 requires positive botId. Mos's illustrative no-bot-mosaic-stack-sync would fail that shape; a bot-no-bot marker still cannot solve the absent-file refusal.
+
+Status: real fail-closed product boundary. No business JSON, test, placeholder credential, host action or tests written/run. Await Sage/Mos resolution; do not bypass by inventing a token or expanding product scope. Only investigation notes exist in this worktree. Claim attempts continue separately under the queue window's explicit retry instruction.
+
+## Resumed after Q247 landing — sage-3859
+
+Current base is pushed `dd6cb5872b972bcabb99b82589b2905e4e47dd3e`. Preserved earlier investigation as a notes-only commit, then rebased onto that tip; only append-only BUILD-LOG/SESSIONS conflicts, resolved retaining the entire landed files and appending this row's original suffix. Earlier equivalent local refactor doc commits were skipped by git as already applied. No other row323 source existed before this resume.
+
+Q247 removes the static blocker: this file now omits tracker entirely, with no dummy bot/token/reference. No tracker credential or token file is required or created. The separate Claude session login file remains the operator's run-sheet step, as described in DESIGN section3; this document contains no credential value or reference, and this work reads no credential.
+
+Approved values and minimal role set:
+
+- business mosaic-stack, factory bus.tester true, no library key/project (DESIGN sections1/2/7).
+- human jason (Mos-1554, sage-3823); project mosaic-stack at /srv/mosaic/src/mosaic-stack (sage-3822).
+- chief-of-staff chief and credential-free assistant, both arbiters chief, launch.by chief, launch.instances [assistant] (sage-3820). The loader requires nonempty launch.instances excluding the launcher (business.mjs:186-191), so a chief-only document cannot load. No other role is needed.
+- Both roles use claude-code; plugins.harness enables only claude-code. No pi route or fallback.
+- chief model claude-opus-5-5 is Sage's explicit choice (sage-3822). Provider anthropic/model claude-opus-5-5 is the repository model mapping at packages/business/README.md:185. There is no separate per-model default thinking catalog in the implementation: choose high from the Claude harness's supported LEVELS at packages/plugins/harness/claude-code/index.mjs:28, following the existing chief route convention at packages/cli/tests/session-launch.test.mjs:83. Both roles use that one declared model/effort; no extra model or capacity policy is introduced.
+
+One new file packages/business/tests/case1-business-file.test.mjs has seven cases. It first loads the shipped JSON bytes unchanged from a temporary business-file location (loader checks shape, no host path access). Its runtime/CLI/install cases copy the document into a scratch input and replace only the project root with a scratch fixture root, per sage-3820's instruction to use test fixture paths. The real factory installer takes that input via --business-file and uses its real bootstrap/business validation, with only stack-copy stubbed (no clone/install/network). The boot case uses bootConfig + actual startBroker and asserts no tracker config or credential status. Negative cases cover bus.tester false (bus-tester-off), literal library (final validate unsupported key, per sage-3820), and a library project (factory plan profile-library-business). No pre-existing test changed.
+
+The new tester-switch mutant flips only bus.tester in the shipped JSON, targets the new exact-document assertion, then restores/checks bytes in finally. Prepared but not run. Tests and mutant remain held until Sage CLEAR; only syntax/diff/static JSON checks have run. Row323 claimant is still in-progress from rev3749.
+
+## Field provenance and pre-test commit — sage-3861
+
+Sage-3861 CLEAR explicitly requires committing the draft before any run, so test counts attach to a commit. This is a specific exception to the usual green-before-commit rule. Until recorded below, this commit is untested. No old test is modified.
+
+| Document field | Value and source |
+| --- | --- |
+| businessVersion | 1, business loader's version requirement (business/src/business.mjs:233). Schema value, not a mos-1554 host choice. |
+| id | mosaic-stack, row195 DESIGN section7 (sage-1813), restated by row323 brief. |
+| human | jason, mos-1554 relayed by sage-3823. |
+| arbiters.delivery / arbiters.technical | chief / chief, sage-3820's explicit minimal-role ruling; both reference the chief-of-staff definition. |
+| projects.mosaic-stack.root | /srv/mosaic/src/mosaic-stack, sage-3822's explicit project-id/root decision. DESIGN supplied /srv/mosaic as home but did not supply this root. |
+| vars.bus.tester | true, DESIGN section2 factory profile and installer bus-tester-off requirement. |
+| plugins.harness | [claude-code], brief's Claude-only/P19 mos-0865 boundary and DESIGN section3. |
+| roles.chief.definition | chief-of-staff, brief/roles/chief-of-staff.json; no credential or tracker bot. |
+| roles.assistant.definition | assistant, sage-3820 acceptance of this one extra credential-free role, required because launch.instances must be nonempty and exclude chief. |
+| roles.*.vars.harness | claude-code for both; same Claude-only rule, no fallback route. |
+| roles.*.vars.model | claude-opus-5-5 for both, chief model explicitly chosen in sage-3822; reuse the single declared model for assistant to avoid adding another model decision. |
+| roles.*.vars.thinking | high, supported effort in packages/plugins/harness/claude-code/index.mjs:28; existing chief convention packages/cli/tests/session-launch.test.mjs:83. The repository has no per-model default-effort catalog; this is an explicit supported-convention choice, not an invented catalog default. |
+| launch.by | chief, brief and F7's requirement to name the chief launch; sage-3820. |
+| launch.instances | [assistant], sage-3820 and business.mjs:186-191's nonempty/non-launcher rule. |
+| launch.models.claude-opus-5-5.provider / model | anthropic / claude-opus-5-5, repository model mapping packages/business/README.md:185 and sage-3822. The model id is also the map key so no extra alias is introduced. |
+| Omitted tracker / credentials / library | Q247/mos-1555 and sage-3859 supersede mos-1554's proposed absent-token placeholder; no bot, token path, credential value or library project/key is present. |
+
+Only human=jason is a literal field value supplied by mos-1554. The no-bot intent also comes from mos-1554; Q247 implements it by omission. Other fields deliberately cite the actual design/schema/Sage source rather than attributing them to mos-1554.
+
+Planned runs under sage-3861: new file whole; business suite whole; CLI suite whole; tester-switch mutant; restored new file whole. Fresh scratch TMPDIR and timeout-k10 for each, one process at a time. Existing-test red or any additional old-test edit stops work; first-run new red is recorded and reported. Push remains own branch goldie/row323 after the test sequence/report evidence is concrete.
+
+## First slot result — stopped on existing CLI test red

+Committed draft before any test: `571376c30e77f46bbe41069633390cc001f57ac8` (base dd6cb5872b972bcabb99b82589b2905e4e47dd3e), per sage-3861. Fresh TMPDIR `/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/goldielKvBJv`, allocated by mktemp under the mandated scratch parent. All runs serialized with timeout -k 10. Source and test bytes remained unchanged throughout.
+
+| Run | Command after TMPDIR/timeout | Outcome |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| New whole file | timeout -k 10 180 node --test --test-reporter=tap packages/business/tests/case1-business-file.test.mjs | 7/7 pass, 0 fail/skip/cancel; test-new.log |
+| Whole business suite | timeout -k 10 600 node --test --test-reporter=tap --test-concurrency=1 packages/business/tests/ | 261/261 pass, 0 fail/skip/cancel; test-business-suite.log |
+| Whole CLI suite | timeout -k 10 1200 node --test --test-reporter=tap --test-concurrency=1 packages/cli/tests/ | Interrupted on existing-test failure; 631 top-level passes/1 failure recorded before termination, no final full-suite totals; test-cli-suite.log |
+| Tester-switch mutant | Not run | Stop rule reached first |
+| Restored new file | Not run | Mutant not run; source already matches manifest |
+
+Existing failure: CLI test579, packages/cli/tests/revoke-window.test.mjs:170: `row 306 REQ-LAUNCH-1 R4 a revoked run whose call lands before the SIGTERM ends stopped/0; a run the human stopped in the same window still ends session-invalid/22`. After 20111.683685ms it failed `no RESULT on 61c275d4-42f9-4a92-8a43-1ae94c25b730`, ask assertion at167, Promise.all index1, test at194. This file has no changes from base. No cause or flakiness claim is established.
+
+On observing the red in the suite log, sent SIGTERM to this run's verified timeout process; the suite ended exit1 with `Interrupted while running: packages/cli/tests/stack-release-external.test.mjs` (it had progressed while output was being inspected). One remaining process was positively identified by an argument under this exact scratch TMPDIR and cleaned with SIGTERM; no live host process/state touched. No further tests or reruns, no old test changes.
+
+Reported immediately to Sage as goldie-0016, returned slot, requested the bounded investigation/retry ruling. JSON/new-test manifest still verifies. Candidate is not verified/ready for review and has not been pushed as such. These failure notes/logs remain local evidence until Sage's ruling; no mutant acceptance claim.
+
+## Mos-1560 isolated rerun — second red, stopped
+
+Sage-3864 CLEAR authorized three whole-file revoke-window runs on unchanged571376c30, followed only on three passes by CLI/mutant/restored runs. Every run had to begin with date -u, uptime and the last line of sage-busy-now.sh. Only run1 occurred; it failed, reaching the second-red stop condition.
+
+Log: revoke-window-run-1.log. Exact start/load lines:
+
+```

+CLEAR
+TMPDIR=/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/goldieBObDQ9
+```
+
+Command: `TMPDIR=<fresh mktemp above> timeout -k 10 180 node --test --test-reporter=tap packages/cli/tests/revoke-window.test.mjs`.
+
+Whole file result: 0/1 pass, 1 failure, exit1, no skips/cancellations. Same unchanged row306 R4 test at revoke-window.test.mjs:170 failed after20126.967034ms: `no RESULT on dc4ccc94-4d08-4da1-bc66-2f4fcfc098dc`, ask167, Promise.all index1, test194. No edits, no run2/3, no full CLI rerun, no mutant/restored run. No remaining process with this exact run's scratch path was found after the file finished. Manifest still matches. This proves repeat failure under the recorded CLEAR/load conditions, not a root cause.
+
+Reported to Sage as goldie-0018 with full log path, time/load/busy lines, test and error. Slot returned; holding for root-cause assignment/ruling on base dd6cb5872. Remote goldie/row323 stays the unverified draft571376c30; post-run failure evidence remains local. All row323 product/test sources are still exactly those committed before the first slot.
+
+## Root cause correction and accepted evidence — mos-1561, sage-3869
+
+The repeated revoke-window red was caused by TMPDIR length, not Codex. Sage identified and reproduced it (sage-3869; recorded in their local dda2d07b4): newRun rejects a tools.sock path exceeding107 bytes at packages/seat/src/session.mjs:278. The 37-byte `/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/goldieXXXXXX` combined with revoke-window's fixture root produces109 bytes, while Sage's35-byte prefix fits107. The test drops the launcher refusal log, so the symptom was a20s no-RESULT wait. The detached base dd6cb5872 also failed0/1 after20106.869486ms with long TMPDIR (log copied as revoke-window-detached-base.log). Prior messages attributing the difference to an unspecified environment are superseded by this diagnosis; no product/old-test fix is needed for row323.
+
+From now on every suite uses `export TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/XXXXXX)` (31bytes). Under sage-3869 CLEAR, all source/test bytes remained exactly571376c30; each run got its own fresh31-byte TMPDIR and began with date-u, uptime, and busy-helper's last line:
+
+| Run / log | UTC start | Load averages | Busy | Result |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| revoke-window-short-tmp.log | 2026-10-24 00:36:41 | 1.01,1.34,1.91 | CLEAR | Whole file1/1 pass; test703.937594ms, file838.51754ms; TMPDIR lCsnmg |
+| test-business-short-tmp.log | 2026-10-24 00:36:50 | 1.08,1.35,1.91 | CLEAR | Whole suite261/261 pass, 6415.261266ms; TMPDIR flQGnB |
+| test-new-short-tmp.log | 2026-10-24 00:37:03 | 1.37,1.40,1.92 | CLEAR | Whole new file7/7 pass, 611.516605ms; TMPDIR HNhoti |
+| mutant-driver.log + mutant.log | 2026-10-24 00:37:12 | 1.38,1.41,1.92 | CLEAR | Mutant killed: targeted exact-document test0/1, expected exit1; driver exit0; TMPDIR XAmmxp |
+| test-new-restored.log | 2026-10-24 00:37:25 | 1.61,1.46,1.93 | CLEAR | Restored new file7/7 pass, 616.699665ms; TMPDIR IVLOcQ |
+
+All TMPDIRs above are under /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/. Every run used timeout-k10 (180s limit, business suite600s), one run at a time. Positive runs have0 failures/skips/cancellations. These are fresh accepted row323 results on committed571376c30. No full CLI rerun was authorized or performed: under mos-1561, Sage's landing gate supplies the CLI suite acceptance/counts, while Goldie's evidence is the business suite, new file and mutant. The earlier partial CLI log remains diagnostic evidence, not a passing-suite claim.
+
+Required tester-switch mutant:
+
+```diff
+-    "bus.tester": true
++    "bus.tester": false
+```
+
+It fails the new committed-document assertion at case1-business-file.test.mjs:66 (`false !== true`). mutant.py restores exact original bytes in finally; restored JSON SHA256 `85e6b9ac62785734fb9d854ea70ea550e171b5060b5cad0417e2f42f0b60c59e`. Both manifest entries verify after restoration, and the whole new file passes again. No pre-existing test or production source changed. git diff --check passes.
+
+Committing these notes and preserved logs is evidence-only on top of the tested571376c30. The product manifest remains the same two paths/digests. Duckworth's static review and Sage's integration/full gate remain their authority. Logs have trailing whitespace removed for git diff --check; substantive output/results are unchanged. Earlier stopped runs remain recorded honestly above and in their logs.

+# Optional business tracker (Q247) implementation plan — row 324 / #1820
+
+Goldie, 2026-10-23. Base 860afc2b66e7bbd045e9d5e25d227ef12f62c55b, approved row298 candidate. New worktree /home/jwoltje/.t3/worktrees/mosaic-stack/goldie-row324, branch goldie/row324. Spec: git object f375f4e92:docs/plans/2026-10-23_optional-tracker-brief.md, section Brief: tracker becomes optional in the business file. Sage-3836 and mos-1555/Q247 authorize optional tracker; Duckworth reviews credential registration.
+
+## Goal and design
+
+A raw business document may omit tracker. Normalize omission to tracker:null, consistent with existing optional launch/role-tracker representations. A present tracker (including null, false, malformed objects) must continue through checkTracker and its existing refusals; distinguish absence with Object.hasOwn rather than a truthiness check. Keep checkTracker unchanged. Required top-level keys no longer include tracker. Only compare role bots with the sync bot when a checked business tracker exists. Role definitions needing vikunja still require their own tracker and credentials unchanged.
+
+CLI validate collects sync credential refs only when tracker is present. bootConfig's trackerFor returns null before interpreting tracker variables when business tracker is absent, so an old tracker.baseUrl variable cannot accidentally create sync/task adapter configuration. Console businessView emits no sync credential rows for absent tracker. Runtime registration, fixed-configuration reload comparison, instance-settings bot collision checks and broker credential display already use optional chaining on the row298 base; preserve those checks. The tasks adapter remains fail-closed for an explicitly inconsistent raw adapter config, and no-tracker bootConfig never configures it for this business.
+
+## Reader audit (before implementation)
+
+Command: git grep -n -E 'tracker\.sync|\.tracker\b' -- 'packages/*/src/*'. Every result is grouped here, with base line numbers:
+
+| Reader | Absent business tracker behavior / action |
+| --- | --- |
+| business/src/business.mjs:85-96,296-300 | checkTracker remains exact for present input; add omission normalization and guard own-sync-bot comparison. |
+| business/src/business.mjs:143-150 | Per-role tracker, independent of business tracker. Keep requirement/collision checks unchanged. |
+| business/src/cli.mjs:85 | Guard Object.values sync credential refs; absent contributes zero. |
+| business/src/instance-settings.mjs:108,120,126-127,133,223 | Role add/change and bot collision/retirement: old.tracker?.sync already skips absent sync; role trackers unchanged. No edit needed. |
+| business/src/launch-settings.mjs:161,235-236 | Per-role tracker assistant view/update, independent of business tracker; no edit. |
+| business/src/resolve.mjs:93 | Per-role tracker in resolved output; no edit. |
+| bus/src/runtime.mjs:131 | Existing b.tracker?.sync?.credentials check registers no @sync when absent; preserve and exercise with new boot test. |
+| bus/src/runtime.mjs:243,247 | Reload compares per-role tracker/null and canonical business sync/null; safe already, no edit. |
+| bus/src/broker.mjs:3969-3970 | Optional per-role tracker bot map; independent, no edit. |
+| bus/src/broker.mjs:4497 | Optional per-role tracker returned from instance write; independent, no edit. |
+| bus/src/broker.mjs:6242 | Credential display resolves optional sync bot; no @sync row exists on trackerless boot. Safe already. |
+| cli/src/config.mjs:57-60,137-138 (trackerFor; not caught by literal grep) | Add business-tracker absence guard; do not configure tracker adapter even if tracker.baseUrl remains set. |
+| cli/src/instances.mjs:118 | Builds per-role tracker update request only when user supplies bot; unrelated to business tracker. |
+| tasks/src/adapter.mjs:25,28-30,35,45,81 | settings rejects missing sync with controlled tracker-config before dereferencing labels/botId; files uses optional chaining. Factory iterates only configured trackers; absent business never configured by bootConfig. Preserve explicit-inconsistent-config refusal. |
+| webui/src/reads.mjs:164,166 | Role credentials independent; guard sync credential display at166 so trackerless Console does not throw. |
+| webui/src/public/bus.js:785 | Per-role editor tracker patch; independent of business tracker. |
+| conversation/src/controller.mjs:443,502,748,807,820,831,888,935,961,997,1008,1021,1048,1056,1268,1308,1330,1334,1413,1447 | Different execution-tracking object/class, unrelated to business/Vikunja config. No change. |
+
+Positive control: grep finds business.mjs:296 and webui reads:166, the unsafe business-tracker readers. Review focus: present null/malformed tracker still refuses; per-role Vikunja trackers still required; stale tracker variables do not enable sync; Console credential view remains usable; no @sync registration during runtime boot/reload.
+
+## Steps and evidence plan
+
+1. Document design and full reader list (this file); claim row324 in-progress as Goldie.
+2. Add new tests for absent tracker loader+CLI validate, malformed/present preservation, per-role tracker requirement, stale-variable bootConfig behavior, actual bus boot with empty credential list/no @sync, and Console business view. New test files only unless Mos expressly approves old-test change below.
+3. Make the minimal four-source-file change (business loader, business CLI, cli config, webui reads). Existing runtime/instance-settings/broker optional checks require coverage, not gratuitous edits.
+4. Static diff checks. Push untested candidate only as expressly ordered by sage-3836, then ask Sage for CLEAR. No tests before CLEAR.
+5. On CLEAR, new test files whole, applicable existing whole files/suites, then a mutant removing loader presence check. Restore and check source bytes. Record outputs; full landing gate is Sage's. Duckworth review follows.
+
+## Pre-existing test boundary
+
+Inspection finds packages/business/tests/business.test.mjs:98 loops over [human,arbiters,projects,tracker,roles] and :99 asserts deletion of each refuses. Q247 directly invalidates the tracker iteration. Proposed sole old-test edit: remove just the tracker string from that required-key list, leaving all other iterations/assertions intact, and add explicit tracker-omission coverage in a new test file. This requires Mos OK under mos-1272; stop implementation and report before editing existing tests. No tests have run.
+
+
+## Implementation draft and old-test ruling
+
+Sage-3840 relays Mos mos-1556: mos-1272 OK to remove only tracker from business.test.mjs's required-key list, preserving the four other keys and the assertion. Done exactly, one addition/one deletion at original line98; no other old test edited. All positive/negative coverage is in two new files: business/tests/optional-tracker.test.mjs and cli/tests/optional-tracker.test.mjs. The latter covers Console businessView as required by sage-3840.
+
+Design now implemented in the four source files identified above; README explains omission versus literal null. New tests cover loader/CLI absence, present value preservation, malformed/present undefined or null refusal, unchanged role-bot requirement, stale business/project tracker variables, actual runtime startup with no credential files or @sync reference, Console view, and continued missing-token refusal for a present tracker. Runtime test uses useFile on unknown @sync to distinguish an unregistered reference from a registered but unavailable credential; callback must never run. Fixture project tracker.project is set, so removing trackerFor's presence guard would actually configure sync instead of passing accidentally through the no-project guard.
+
+No tests run. New node_modules symlink points to canonical checkout dependencies and is ignored; it will not be committed. Sage-3836 expressly requests push before any tests; that specific sequencing overrides the usual green-before-commit default only for this draft push. Status is untested until CLEAR. Claim wrote goldie-0324-start-1 revision3759, briefed→in-progress. Row323 remains paused at the product boundary until324 lands.
+
+Static verification: node --check passed for all four edited source modules and both new test files; git diff --check passed. No node --test or shell suite was run. reader-audit.txt captures the requested grep on the draft. MANIFEST.sha256 pins README, four source files, the one existing test and both new tests. mutant.py prepares the required omission-presence mutant and restores/checks bytes in finally; it has not run.
+
+Proposed CLEAR run order: new business optional-tracker.test.mjs whole (5 tests), new cli optional-tracker.test.mjs whole (4 tests), existing business.test.mjs whole, then the targeted presence mutant and restored new tests. Broaden to business/CLI/Console/bus package gates only when Sage assigns that scope/slot. All test runs use timeout -k 10 and an explicitly allocated TMPDIR under /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp.
+
+## Rebased verification — sage-3850 CLEAR
+
+Rebased c4b14952e onto pushed refactor `3569bf54f53870fcd4e92cdbbb95e3412f629f3a` as `7e59ba8b3d6f63c30a0fa308c0607dfc1e47dd12`. The landing range has no changes in this row's business/config/Console source paths. Only BUILD-LOG.md and docs/SESSIONS.md conflicted: retained the entire landed file then appended this row's original suffix. All eight manifest-pinned files remain byte-equal to the draft; range-diff differences are log context only. To obey no-force-push while preserving the published draft, the rebased candidate is published on `goldie/row324-r2`; original remote goldie/row324 remains at c4b14952e.
+
+Scratch TMPDIR was created by `mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/goldieXXXXXX`: `/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/goldieOdgIjr`. All runs were serialized, with timeout -k 10 (120s new files/mutant driver, 180s existing whole file). Node v26.8.1. No test used /tmp or a real host configuration/credential.
+
+| Order | Whole file / check | Result | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | packages/business/tests/optional-tracker.test.mjs | 5/5 pass, exit0 | test-business-optional.log |
+| 2 | packages/cli/tests/optional-tracker.test.mjs | 4/4 pass, exit0 | test-cli-optional.log |
+| 3 | packages/business/tests/business.test.mjs | 21/21 pass, exit0 | test-business-existing.log |
+| 4 | Presence-check mutant, targeted omission test | 0/1 pass, exit1, killed as expected | mutant.log, mutant-driver.log |
+| 5 | Restored new business file whole | 5/5 pass, exit0 | test-business-restored.log |
+| 6 | Restored new CLI file whole | 4/4 pass, exit0 | test-cli-restored.log |
+
+No unexpected first-run red or old-test red. The Console absent-tracker read test is the third test in the new CLI file and passed on both whole-file runs. There is no separate edited webui test file; the only test files touched by this row are the three whole files above. Existing fixture preservation is covered by the whole business.test.mjs, including its untouched fixture, role bot, credential, sync bot collision and example checks. Broader package/script gates remain Sage's.
+
+Required mutant diff (business/src/business.mjs:296):
+
+```diff
+-  const tracker = Object.hasOwn(document, "tracker") ? checkTracker(document.tracker, file) : null;
++  const tracker = checkTracker(document.tracker, file);
+```
+
+The new omission test fails with BusinessError `tracker must be a JSON object`. mutant.py restores in finally and checks exact bytes. Restored business.mjs SHA256: `e76db42158f396ec6a44f97320355d6c2254dccb5fc53cd04e8ac42843b0d60a`. Full manifest check passes after restoration. git diff --check passes. The full reader list remains above; reader-audit.txt is its raw grep receipt.
+
+The only pre-existing test delta still is exactly one list entry removed at business.test.mjs:98, under mos-1556: tracker is removed; human/arbiters/projects/roles and the assertion remain. No production/test source changed during verification. Only evidence and append-only log notes follow the tested rebased commit. Slot is returned in the completion report; Duckworth review and Sage's full landing gate remain pending.
+
+Evidence log trailing whitespace is normalized for git diff --check; test results and output content are unchanged.

+# Row 325 / #1821 — Case 1 project key
+
+Goldie, 2026-10-24. Branch goldie/row325, base99930362e4b8a64d5425b10ca087b2d1f93ae538. Separate worktree /home/jwoltje/.t3/worktrees/mosaic-stack/goldie-row325. Brief pinned at60d78e44e:docs/plans/2026-10-24_case1-project-key-brief.md, section Brief: re-key the Case1 project to stack. Mos-1563 fixes the business document and preserves project id. Reviewer Gladstone; Sage owns review posting/landing. No queue writes authorized or performed.
+
+## Defect and change
+
+The real .mosaic/project.json declares id stack; the Case1 business document incorrectly keyed its project mosaic-stack. Real business validation checks equality at packages/business/src/cli.mjs:80, so the install refused once the host held the project file. Row323's scratch execution root omitted that file and exercised only the warning/absent branch, missing the deployment mismatch.
+
+Only the projects object's key changes to stack in docs/guides/case1-business.mosaic-stack.json. Business id stays mosaic-stack, root stays /srv/mosaic/src/mosaic-stack, and every other field is unchanged. No .mosaic/project.json edit or product/schema/role change.
+
+The new packages/business/tests/case1-project-key.test.mjs reads the repo's real .mosaic/project.json bytes, asserts exactly one matching Case1 key, copies those bytes unchanged into a scratch project root, and calls the actual business CLI validate path with a temporary system/business config. Positive output must report the project valid, not absent. Negative coverage re-keys the same fixture to mosaic-stack and requires exit2 plus the real project-id mismatch message; missing-file warnings cannot stand in for validation.
+
+Mos-1564 (mos-1272) authorizes exactly one pre-existing test line: case1-business-file.test.mjs:70's expected key changes to stack; all other bytes/assertions remain unchanged. No other old test is touched. This is explicitly the obsolete expectation caused by the product correction, not a relaxed assertion.
+
+## Verification plan / state
+
+No tests run before Sage CLEAR. Static node --check, JSON parse and diff checks only. On CLEAR, one run at a time: new test file whole, business suite whole (includes the one updated old test), one old-key mutant, restored whole new file to verify restoration. Every run gets fresh `export TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/XXXXXX)`, timeout-k10, and the established UTC/load/busy-helper log header. Stop/report on any other old-test red; no further old-test edits. First unexpected new-test red is recorded/reported under the continuing mos-1272 rule.
+
+mutant.py changes only the projects key back to mosaic-stack, runs the new exact-key assertion, requires expected exit1/fail1, then restores/checks bytes in finally. Prepared, not run. Sage's landing gate supplies CLI suite counts.
+
+The dependency setup is an ignored root node_modules symlink to /mnt/storage/src/mosaic-stack/node_modules; no dependency installation/pin change. MANIFEST.sha256 covers business JSON, the one old test, new test, and real project document as an unchanged reference. Final review report goes to both Sage and Gladstone with tip/base/manifest. No host contact, credential access, queue write or refactor push.
+
+## Verification — sage-3882 CLEAR
+
+All four runs were serial on the same final source bytes, using timeout-k10, fresh31-byte TMPDIRs from /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/XXXXXX, and date-u/uptime/busy-helper headers. Node v26.8.1. No first-run new-test red and no old-test red. No CLI suite run; Sage's landing gate supplies that scope.
+
+| Run / log | UTC start | Load averages | Busy | Result / TMPDIR |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| test-new.log | 2026-10-24 01:13:40 | 1.34,1.60,2.50 | CLEAR | Whole new file3/3 pass, 172.161691ms; hchZu2 |

+
+All TMPDIRs are under /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/. New/restored/mutant driver limits180s, business600s, each timeout-k10. Positive runs have0 failures/skips/cancellations. The business suite includes the entire old case1-business-file.test.mjs, with only the mos-1564-approved key assertion changed.
+
+Mutant diff in business JSON:
+
+```diff
+   "projects": {
+-    "stack": {
++    "mosaic-stack": {
+```
+
+The exact-key new test fails deepStrictEqual (actual mosaic-stack, expected stack); raw evidence is mutant.log. mutant.py restores in finally and checks exact bytes. Restored JSON SHA256 `9e43bfef326e568488aaa4f0d8882e9b932750aeb39f587a113a226bfb30cf0f`; all4 MANIFEST.sha256 entries verify, including unchanged .mosaic/project.json. Whole new file passed again after restoration. git diff --check passed.
+
+Final source accounting: business JSON1+/1-, only projects key; old test1+/1-, only expected key at70; new test file with3 cases; no other old-test line touched. Business id/root remain unchanged. Root-cause gap is now covered by byte-identical real project fixture plus required valid result and old-key refusal. No host action, credentials, queue writes, refactor push or unapproved scope change.
+
+Logs have trailing whitespace normalized for git diff --check, with substantive output/results unchanged. The slot is returned in the report accompanying the pushed candidate; Gladstone first review and Sage landing gate remain pending.

+# Row 226 build notes, C2-13b install script and library precheck (#1727)
+
+Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md "C2-13b install script and library precheck" (:1073-1134 at
+d37210288). Design: agents/gosalyn/work/case2/DESIGN.md r11 sections 4 and 10, on gosalyn/case2-design
+75fb3e10e. Row 195's needs: agents/darkwing/work/queue-195/DESIGN.md "What row 195 needs from row 226".
+
+This is design round d2. Nothing is built yet. d1 was f46e66883, and Webby's review of it is webby-0085
+(CHANGES, B1 and N1-N6) and webby-0086 (the ordering problem). Sage ruled on both in sage-2189. The
+changes from d1 are listed at the end.
+
+## Base
+
+Branch gosalyn/c2-13b from refactor d37210288. Rows 215, 221, 222 and 230 are done.
+
+## Facts the design rests on
+
+- No CLI writes a business file. `mosaic business validate <id>` checks one and exits 0 ok, 2 invalid
+  (packages/business/src/cli.mjs). A business file needs `human`, `arbiters`, `projects`, `tracker`
+  with a sync bot and a Vikunja credential ref, and `roles`, each role with its tracker bot when its
+  definition uses Vikunja (business.mjs:23, :84-100, :131-149).
+- The library is a project, `projects.<id>.kind === "library"`, checked by `checkMapping`
+  (packages/library/src/mapping.mjs). There is no top-level `library` key.
+- `library.sync` and `library.status` are bus verbs, human only (broker.mjs:92, :2452-2476). The only
+  client is `packages/bus/src/human-cli.mjs` over the bus socket.
+- The bus makes each library mirror at start, `ensureMirror({ business, project, dataRoot })`
+  (packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs:143-145). Before the bus first starts there is no mirror.
+- `sync()` fetches outside `withLibraryLock`. Only a per-process `running` set keeps two syncs apart
+  (packages/library/src/sync.mjs:97-98), so a second process calling `sync()` would race the bus's
+  timer.
+- `libraryStatus(context)` reads the recorded state under the flock and writes nothing
+  (mirror.mjs:232-239). A missing or unsafe mirror fails `library-git` (`ownedRoot`, mirror.mjs:43-49).
+  A mirror that has never synced returns the empty state, `lastFetch: null`, `lastError: null`,
+  `problems: []` (mirror.mjs:27, :205-210). `lastError` is `{ code, at }` with `code` matching
+  `^[a-z-]{1,64}$` (mirror.mjs:225).
+- The bus builds the library context as `{ business, project, dataRoot }` and the slot as
+  `<slotDir>/secrets/<business.id>/library-gitea` (runtime.mjs:146-151, :162-164).
+- `case2-persona-import.mjs install --staging DIR --config-dir DIR --business ID` writes
+  `<configDir>/personas/<business>/<instance>.md` at 0600 in 0700 dirs, never overwriting, and prints
+  `instance bean: persona.name Bean, persona.sha256 <hex>` per persona.
+- A Discord binding is `<dataRoot>/discord/<name>.json` (packages/discord/src/binding.mjs:70-83).
+- `case2-unit.sh --copy ID` needs `<home>/.local/share/mosaic-stack/copies/<ID>`, which
+  `stack-copy.sh copy COMMIT --copies DIR` makes. The copy runs `npm ci` from package-lock.json
+  (stack-copy.sh:70), which installs the pinned pi.
+
+## Design
+
+### D1. The business file is an input
+
+Unchanged from d1. `case2-install.sh` takes `--business-file FILE`, a JSON business document written for
+the host from Jason's go. The script doesn't build one from flags, because bots, botIds and credential
+refs are host values and the brief says every host value is an input. It checks the input, adds what
+only it knows, writes it, and then runs `mosaic business validate`, so business.mjs stays the only
+schema.
+
+What the script checks before it writes anything, beyond `validate`:
+- `id` equals `--business`.
+- `library`: at least one library project, `bus.tester` not true, roles `bean` and `chet` with
+  definition `companion`, and no `persona.*` var in the input, since D3 adds them.
+- `factory`: no library project, and `bus.tester` true. These are the precheck's rules at
+  case2-precheck.sh:127-135, so the install refuses what the precheck would refuse.
+
+### D2. Install steps, in order
+
+1. Refuse to run as root.
+2. `scripts/bootstrap.sh`. It's idempotent and never rewrites an existing config.
+3. `scripts/stack-copy.sh copy <--commit> --copies <home>/.local/share/mosaic-stack/copies`. The copy
+   `case2-unit.sh --copy` names has to exist before root renders the units (row 195 need 3).
+4. `library` only: the persona import's `install` step from `--personas DIR` (D3).
+5. Write `<configDir>/businesses/<id>.json` at 0600 with O_EXCL (D4).
+6. `library` only: make `<configDir>/secrets/<business>/` at 0700, empty. The token is Jason's, design 10
+   step 4.
+7. `mosaic business validate <id>`. If it refuses and step 5 created the file in this run, remove that
+   file, then refuse. A file that already matched on a re-run (D4) is never removed (N4).
+8. Print the copy id and the next steps: root's 2c, Jason's 2d, 3 and 4, then the `--library-status`
+   check (D6b).
+
+d1's step 3, `release.sh package` and `activate`, is gone (Q4a, webby-0085 B1, sage-2189). Package is a
+`docker compose build`, and activate runs a pi Compose health check that mounts `PI_AUTH_FILE`
+(compose.yaml:43). Neither fits 2a, which has no Docker and no pi credential, and the hub doesn't run
+containers. The pinned harness comes from the copy's `npm ci` (Q3). The `CASE2_RELEASE` seam goes with
+it.
+
+It starts no unit, writes no unit file, doesn't write `/etc/mosaic-stack/dev.args` and doesn't run
+`adopt`. These are my answers to row 195's needs 4 and 5 (gosalyn-0087), unchanged. Row 195's W8 now
+passes `--business-file` and has no release step.
+
+### D3. Personas come from the staging dir
+
+Unchanged from d1. `library` requires `--personas DIR`, the staging dir from `case2-persona-import.mjs
+stage`. The install runs `case2-persona-import.mjs install --staging DIR --config-dir <configDir>
+--business <id>` and reads its two `instance` lines into `roles.bean.vars` and `roles.chet.vars`. Only
+those two lines go into the business file. They hold a name and a digest, never text.
+
+This moves the persona import's stage part of design 10 step 6 ahead of 2b: the read of her Hermes
+profiles and Jason's check of the printed pairing. Webby agreed in webby-0085 (Q1).
+
+### D4. Re-runs
+
+Unchanged from d1, plus N4. Each step is safe to run again. bootstrap and the copy are idempotent. An
+existing business file that matches the one the script would write passes, and the script remembers it
+didn't create it. One that differs refuses `business-file-differs`, and the script doesn't touch it.
+The persona import already refuses to overwrite. On a re-run the install compares each existing
+persona file's sha256 with the staging manifest, and refuses on a mismatch.
+
+### D5. Inputs and seams
+
+```
+case2-install.sh --business ID --business-file FILE --commit SHA [--profile factory|library]
+                 [--personas DIR] [--home DIR]
+```
+
+`--home` defaults to `$HOME`, which is `/srv/mosaic` under `sudo -u mosaic -H`. `MOSAIC_CONFIG` is
+honoured as bootstrap.sh honours it. One test seam, in case2-unit.sh's `CASE2_*` pattern:
+`CASE2_STACK_COPY` is the copy script, and the test uses a stub that makes the copy dir.
+
+Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 refused, 4 usage, as case2-unit.sh uses.
+
+### D6. Precheck library checks, split in two (Q4b, sage-2189)
+
+d1 ran `sync()` from the precheck. Webby's N1 and webby-0086 showed two faults. The precheck runs before
+the units start, so there is no mirror yet (runtime.mjs:143-145). And a precheck `sync()` after the bus
+is up would race the bus's timer, since `sync()` fetches outside the lock (sync.mjs:97-98). Sage split
+the check in sage-2189, and the brief's "runs library.sync" becomes "reads the bus's recorded sync
+state".
+
+#### D6a. Before the units start, `--profile library`
+
+These run where the precheck runs today, after 2c's render and before the start. They sync nothing and
+read no mirror. Each is a `refuse` line in the script's style.
+- The business file is owned by the uid, with no group or other bit (`business-file-mode`).
+  `businesses/.history/<id>/` is 0700 and its `changes.jsonl` is 0600, when present (`history-mode`).
+- The persona dirs are 0700. Each creative role's persona file is regular, owned and 0600
+  (`persona-mode`), and its sha256 equals the role's `persona.sha256` (`persona-mismatch`). The output
+  prints names and digests, never text.
+- No `<dataRoot>/discord/*.json` exists (`discord-binding`).
+
+#### D6b. `case2-precheck.sh --business ID --library-status`, after the bus is up and after step 4
+
+A new mode, run as `<user>` once the bus is up and Jason has placed the token. It changes nothing. A
+node block builds the context the bus builds, `{ business, project, dataRoot }` for each library
+project, with `dataRoot` from the config (N3, runtime.mjs:146-151, :162-164). For each one it:
+- refuses `library-mirror-missing` when the mirror path doesn't exist. It checks this itself, so the
+  message says the bus hasn't made it, not `library-git`;
+- calls `libraryStatus(context)` only, and refuses with the thrown code when that fails, for example
+  `library-git` for an unsafe mirror or `library-sync-busy` when the flock wait runs out;
+- refuses `library-never-synced` when `lastFetch` is null;
+- refuses `library-last-error <code>` when `lastError` is not null. The code is the fixed
+  `^[a-z-]{1,64}$` string, so it's safe to print. This also covers Webby's N2;
+- prints each recorded R-problem as `problem   R<n> <path>`, with the path through `JSON.stringify`, then
+  one `problems  <count>` line (N5). Her file names are the only part that prints, never text.
+  R-problems don't refuse (Q2, agreed by Webby).
+
+The bus syncs each library with a `user` every 60 s, so the first run after step 4 may need a minute,
+or Jason's own `library.sync`. The run sheet says so.
+
+### D7. host-run-sheet.md fix
+
+`docs/guides/host-run-sheet.md:240` says "I2's install writes it" about `dev.args`. It becomes: root
+writes it at the unit render, from the values the go names, and the install never writes it, because
+`<user>` can't write `/etc` and root reads nothing `<user>` wrote. Sage asked in sage-1832 for this fix
+to go in this build commit, with its path in the manifest. Section 9's `library-gitea` line (:275) says
+"C2-13b's `library.sync` (not landed)". It becomes the `--library-status` check (D6b). The install
+section also gets a line that the copy's `npm ci` needs the npm registry from the host (Q3, webby-0085).
+
+### D8. Design 10 text
+
+Sage ruled that design 10 gets the same change when 226 lands, with the line in this row's manifest.
+In agents/gosalyn/work/case2/DESIGN.md:
+- step 2b drops `release.sh package` and `activate`;
+- a new step after step 4 runs `case2-precheck.sh --business <business> --library-status`;
+- the precheck's library text says it reads the bus's recorded sync state, not that it runs
+  `library.sync`.
+
+### D9. Tests, `packages/cli/tests/case2-install.test.mjs`
+
+These follow case2-unit.test.mjs: scratch HOME, MOSAIC_CONFIG, stub bin dir and seams, a local bare repo
+cloned `--bare --no-local` as sync.test.mjs does, and the fixture's key never in output.
+- Install `library`:
+  - writes the business file at 0600 with bean's and chet's persona vars;
+  - writes the persona files at 0600 in 0700 dirs and the empty slot dir at 0700;
+  - logs the copy call and no release call;
+  - starts nothing;
+  - passes on a re-run;
+  - refuses `business-file-differs` and leaves the file unchanged.
+- Install `factory`:
+  - writes no library mapping, no persona file and no slot dir, which is the brief's case;
+  - refuses a library project and `bus.tester` off.
+- Install refuses: run as root, a business id mismatch, missing `--personas` under library, and a
+  `validate` refusal, after which no business file is left.
+- N4: a re-run where the matching business file is already there and `validate` refuses leaves that
+  file in place, byte for byte.
+- D6a refusals, one case each: a persona file at 0644, a digest mismatch, a business file at 0644, a
+  `changes.jsonl` at 0644, and a Discord binding. A clean library host passes D6a with no mirror.
+- D6b, with the mirror made by `ensureMirror` and the state written by a real `sync()` against the local
+  bare repo, as the bus would:
+  - no mirror refuses `library-mirror-missing`;
+  - a fresh mirror refuses `library-never-synced`;
+  - a sync against a remote that doesn't resolve refuses `library-last-error` with its code;
+  - a synced bare repo with one R2 path prints its `problem` line and `problems  1`, and passes.
+
+Every new refusal gets a mutant that removes it. The count goes in the slot request.
+
+### D10. Files
+
+Owned by the brief: `scripts/case2-install.sh` (new), `scripts/case2-precheck.sh` (library checks and
+`--library-status` only) and `packages/cli/tests/case2-install.test.mjs` (new). Also
+`docs/guides/host-run-sheet.md` (D7, sage-1832), agents/gosalyn/work/case2/DESIGN.md (D8, sage-2189)
+and this BUILD.md. Before the slot request I'll grep for outside readers of case2-precheck.sh, since
+case2-unit.test.mjs runs it.
+
+## Questions
+
+All three d1 questions are settled:
+- Q1, persona stage before 2b: Webby agreed (webby-0085).
+- Q2, R-problems don't refuse: Webby agreed.
+- Q3, the pinned harness is the copy's `npm ci`: Webby agreed, and asked for the registry note in D7.
+- Q4a and Q4b: Sage, sage-2189.
+
+One choice for Webby to check: D6b's `problem` line carries the path through `JSON.stringify`. N5 asked
+for a prefix and a count. I kept the path because Jason needs it to tell her which file to fix, and the
+names are hers, not text.
+
+## Changes from d1
+
+- B1: release package and activate dropped, with the `CASE2_RELEASE` seam and its test (D2, D5).
+- N1 and webby-0086: the sync is gone from the precheck. D6 splits into D6a before the start and D6b,
+  `--library-status`, after the bus is up and step 4 (sage-2189).
+- N2: covered by D6b's `lastError` refusal.
+- N3: D6b builds the context and slot as the bus does.
+- N4: step 7 removes only a file this run created, with a test.
+- N5: `problem` prefix and a `problems` count.
+- N6: the run sheet lines are :240 and :275.
+- New D8, the design 10 text change, and its path in D10.
+
+## Build
+
+Webby approved d2 in webby-0087 (REVIEW-design-d2.md, webby/reviews 2f488b4ea). Nothing above this
+section changed after approval. This section records the build.
+
+### D8 lands on case2-design
+
+Sage ruled in sage-2195, after Webby's N1, that D8 goes on gosalyn/case2-design, because
+agents/gosalyn/work/case2/DESIGN.md isn't on refactor. The change is commit 624212842 there, pushed:
+step 2b drops `release.sh package` and `activate`, new step 4a runs `--library-status`, and the C2-13b
+row text says the precheck reads the bus's recorded sync state. DESIGN.md is not in this row's manifest.
+
+The brief's lines docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md:1093-1096 still name release package, activate and
+a library.sync fetch. Sage owns the brief and will amend those lines to match D8 in a doc-only commit
+after the re-pin window (sage-2205). They are not in this row's manifest.
+
+### Webby's d2 notes
+
+- N2: the `problem` line keeps the path. After `JSON.stringify` the precheck also escapes DEL, the C1
+  controls U+0080-009F, U+200E and U+200F, U+2028 and U+2029, and the bidi controls U+202A-202E and
+  U+2066-2069 as `\uXXXX`. Webby named C1 and bidi. I added the rest because `JSON.stringify` leaves
+  them raw too, and each one can change how a terminal shows the line. The test path holds U+202E and
+  U+0085, and the test checks that neither prints raw.
+- N3: `lastError` is checked before `lastFetch`. A first sync with no token records
+  `library-credential-missing` and leaves `lastFetch` null, so it refuses `library-last-error`, not
+  `library-never-synced`. The fresh-mirror test has `lastError` null and refuses `library-never-synced`.
+
+### Choices made in the build
+
+- The config dir. The persona import refuses a config dir with group or other bits, and bootstrap makes
+  one with the default mode. So the install makes the config dir at 0700 when it's absent, before
+  bootstrap, and refuses `config-dir-mode` when it exists with a group or other bit. It checks
+  `secrets/` and `secrets/<id>/` the same way under library (`secrets-mode`, `slot-mode`).
+- `--home` must equal `$HOME` (`home-mismatch`). Every path comes from `$HOME` and `MOSAIC_CONFIG`, as
+  bootstrap's does, so a different `--home` would only name a second home the script doesn't use.
+- A plan step runs before anything is written. It reads the input and the staging manifest, computes
+  the persona vars from the manifest, and compares the result with what's on disk. It refuses every
+  input rule, `business-file-differs` and `persona-differs` there, so a refused run writes nothing.
+  After the import the script checks that the import's two `instance` lines carry the manifest's
+  digests.
+- A re-run with both persona files present and matching skips the import, which would refuse to
+  overwrite them. One matching file and one missing refuses `persona-differs`.
+- A diverged library prints one line under `--library-status`, naming the tip `library.sync --accept`
+  would take. It doesn't refuse. The design doesn't list it as a refusal, and the bus still serves the
+  old tip.
+- The precheck's library checks print `ok` lines for each check they pass, as the rest of the script
+  does. A business file that's missing prints no extra line, since the existing business-file check
+  already refuses it.
+- The business id must match the persona import's rule, `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,63}$`. That's narrower
+  than the precheck's, which also takes `.` and `_`, because the persona dir uses the id.
+
+### Outside readers
+
+`git grep` over packages/*/tests/*, packages/*/src/* and scripts/test-*.sh finds case2-precheck.sh read
+by case2-unit.test.mjs, which runs it, and case1-accept.test.mjs, which names a copy's path but runs a
+fake. No test reads host-run-sheet.md. No test pins a hash of either script. case2-unit.test.mjs's
+precheck host has a 0600 business file and no persona vars, so the new D6a checks pass there.
+
+### Mutants
+
+24, in /mnt/storage/scratch/gosalyn-r226/mutate.py. Each replaces one exact string once. Line numbers
+are the candidate's. run.sh stops with BASE RED before any mutant unless the base run is rc=0 and
+fail 0.
+
+| Mutant | Line | Check removed |
+|---|---|---|
+| I1 | install :73 | run-as-root |
+| I2 | install :74 | home-mismatch |
+| I3 | install :81 | config-dir-mode |

+| I11 | install :218 | N4, removes the file even when this run didn't write it |
+| I12 | install :218 | validate's removal of the file this run wrote |
+| P1 | precheck :229 | business-file-mode |
+| P2 | precheck :235 | history-mode for changes.jsonl |
+| P3 | precheck :246 | persona-mode for a persona file |

+| P11 | precheck :92 | N2, the escape after stringify |
+| P12 | precheck :65 | --library-status refuses --profile |
+
+`history-mode` for the history dir itself has no mutant and no test. The brief names only the
+`changes.jsonl` case.

+# Row 239 (#1745) build notes (append only)
+
+## 2026-10-22 b1 (Honker)
+
+Design d1 5da5f28f6 was approved by Duckworth with C1 and C2 and no blockers (duckworth-0165, note
+agents/duckworth/work/row239/REVIEW-design-d1.md). The code is on honker/row239 from aca16404c. No test
+has run yet: every run waits for Sage's CLEAR.
+
+### Duckworth's conditions and answers
+
+- C1 (option a): `outcome-unknown-revoked` is in the Console's `OPEN` list (webui bus.mjs), so
+  `sendOutcome` answers it as `outcome-unknown` with `sent: 'unknown'` and never "Nothing changed". T6
+  covers it and M3f is its mutant.
+- C2: `write()` sets `revoked = true` after `beforeWrite()` returns, and a catch around the whole
+  `withLock(...)` call marks the error. So a throw from the lock's release in its finally is marked as
+  well. This is structural and has no test, as Duckworth said.
+- Q1: `beforeWrite` runs after both validations. Q2: two codes. Q3: M2 removes the `:188` check (now
+  organization.mjs:195).
+
+### Notes N1-N5
+
+- N1: `beforeWrite` must not write the same business, because it would find its own lock and refuse
+  `organization-busy`. This is said in the comments on `write()` and `commit()`. Today's revokes (the
+  bus's credential revoke) write no business file.
+- N2: the lock is held across the revoke. A fire or a delete now keeps other writers of that business
+  out for as long as the revoke takes. They refuse `organization-busy`, as they do for any held lock.
+- N3: a revoke that fails partway (some tokens revoked, then `credential-revoke-failed`) behaves as
+  today. The error carries no `revoked` mark, because `beforeWrite` didn't return, and nothing is
+  written. This row doesn't change that.
+- N4: a delete closed with `outcome-unknown-revoked` exits 3 in the CLI, as every closed refusal does.
+  Exit 1 (transport EXIT) applies only to a direct verb answer.
+- N5: I grepped for "before the write" and similar comments. The ones left (lifecycle-revoke.test:2,
+  instance-settings:56, cli instances.mjs:53, serve.mjs:365) are still true and are unchanged. T21 in
+  bus lifecycle-revoke.test:173 is unchanged.
+
+### Differences from the design
+
+- The business tests are in lifecycle-settings.test.mjs, not instance-settings.test.mjs. The fire tests
+  and their fixture already live there. The fixture now returns `dir` and `rolesDir` too.
+- T3 covers T3b (the delete) in the same test, looping over fire and delete. It also checks that a
+  revoke throwing `credential-revoke-failed` carries no mark and writes nothing.
+- T4b is the plain-code check. The design's "T4b, outcome-unknown-revoked for an fs-style error" is in
+  T4, which checks EIO with and without the mark for both a fire and a delete.
+- The bus test's fake org gets `deleteError`, thrown from its `instances.set` branch, so T4 can drive a
+  delete.
+- transport.test gets one assertion, `busExit("outcome-unknown-revoked") === 1`, for M3g.
+- A latent Console text: a direct (not closed-request) `revision-conflict-revoked` answer in the
+  Console would still get " Nothing changed." appended, because only `OPEN` codes skip it. That sentence
+  is true there: the file is unchanged. No direct human path gives this code today, since a delete
+  reaches the Console as a closed request's refusal.
+- The Console's STATUS entry for `outcome-unknown-revoked` (503) can't be reached while the code is in
+  `OPEN`. It stays for symmetry with the CLI and is harmless.
+
+### What changed
+
+- packages/business/src/organization.mjs: `write()` takes `beforeWrite`, runs it under the lock after
+  the revision check and both validations, and marks any later error `revoked`. The body is reindented
+  inside the try.
+- packages/business/src/instance-settings.mjs: `instanceSettings` takes an optional `writer`. `commit()`
+  passes `beforeWrite` to `writer.write` instead of calling it. The early check stays, and its comment
+  is rewritten.
+- packages/bus/src/broker.mjs: `#organizationFail` maps a marked error to `revision-conflict-revoked` or
+  `outcome-unknown-revoked` before the existing mappings. `#fireJob`'s notice adds "Its credential
+  tokens may already be revoked." for a `-revoked` code.
+- packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs: comment only.
+- packages/cli/src/instances.mjs: two REASONS entries. packages/cli/src/transport.mjs: EXIT
+  `outcome-unknown-revoked` 1.
+- packages/webui/src/serve.mjs: two AGENT_REASONS entries. packages/webui/src/bus.mjs: `OPEN` entry and
+  two STATUS entries.
+- Tests:
+  - business lifecycle-settings.test: "row 239 T1", "row 239 T2", "row 239 T3".
+  - bus fire-revokes-grants.test: "row 239 T4", "row 239 T4b".
+  - cli instances.test: "row 239 T5 CLI". cli transport.test: one assertion in "busExit and
+    refuseInsideAgent".
+  - webui agents.test: "row 239 T6".
+  - bus channel-proof.test re-pins packages/cli/src/transport.mjs (662642a8...) and
+    packages/webui/src/bus.mjs (1eba9774...), with a comment on each. Neither changes a proof or the
+    transport. The design's file list missed this. The pin grep found it before the first run.
+### Mutants for the gate (exact-once replacements)
+
+- M1 (instance-settings.mjs, beforeWrite before the lock): replace
+  `    const receipt = writer.write(business, next, { revision, actor, context, beforeWrite });` with
+  `    if (beforeWrite) beforeWrite();\n    const receipt = writer.write(business, next, { revision, actor, context });`.
+  The kill is lifecycle-settings "row 239 T1" (the revoke spy has a call).
+- M2 (organization.mjs, the fire refusal dropped): delete the line
+  `        if (revision !== before) fail("revision-conflict", "organization revision changed; read again");`.
+  The kill is "row 239 T1" (the write lands over the hand edit).
+- M3a (organization.mjs, the mark dropped): `      if (revoked && e instanceof Error) e.revoked = true;`
+  becomes `      void revoked;`. The kills are "row 239 T2" and "row 239 T3" (business). T4 drives the mark
+  through a fake org, so it doesn't see M3a.
+- M3b (broker.mjs): delete the line
+  `    if (e.revoked) fail(e.code === "revision-conflict" ? "revision-conflict-revoked" : "outcome-unknown-revoked");`.
+  The kill is fire-revokes-grants "row 239 T4".
+- M3c (cli instances.mjs): delete the five lines from `  "revision-conflict-revoked": "the business file`
+  through `    "business file again with \`mosaic business instances\` before trying again",`. The kill is
+  instances.test "row 239 T5 CLI".
+- M3d (webui serve.mjs): delete the two lines starting `  'revision-conflict-revoked': 'the business file`
+  and `  'outcome-unknown-revoked': 'the agent\'s tokens`. The kill is agents.test "row 239 T6".
+- M3e (broker.mjs): `      const tokens = code.endsWith('-revoked') ? ' Its credential tokens may already be revoked.' : '';`
+  becomes `      const tokens = '';`. The kill is "row 239 T4".
+- M3f (webui bus.mjs, C1): the `OPEN` line loses `, 'outcome-unknown-revoked'`. The kill is "row 239 T6"
+  (the launch POST answers 503 outcome-unknown, sent unknown).
+- M3g (cli transport.mjs): delete the line `  "outcome-unknown-revoked": 1,`. The kill is transport.test
+  "busExit and refuseInsideAgent".
+
+A kill counts only as a failed assertion in the named test, not a load error or a different test.
+
+### Gate plan (mos-1275 timeouts)
+
+- My row 256 gate (2026-10-22 10:34Z, same machine) took 590s for the cli package, 57s for webui and
+  38s for test-foundation, the longest shell script.
+- Packages: `timeout -k 10 1800` per package (3x the cli run).
+- Each scripts/test-*.sh: `timeout -k 10 300` (more than 3x the 38s longest).
+- Single files and mutants: `timeout -k 10 600` per file run (cli instances.test whole is the longest
+  single file).
+- Order on Sage's CLEAR: the touched test files whole (business lifecycle-settings, bus
+  fire-revokes-grants and channel-proof, cli instances and transport, webui agents), then M1-M3g, then
+  the full gate.
+- Before the in-review move: grep packages/*/tests for the changed comment and error text and for
+  64-hex pins on the changed files, and drift-check BASE..refactor against them.
+
+## 2026-10-22 r2 rebase (Honker)
+
+- Duckworth approved b1 b0c28366f statically, with no blockers (duckworth-0168). On N1 (`endsWith('-revoked')`
+  would also match `access-revoked`, which can't reach a fire job today), the check stays as it is, so the
+  approved candidate doesn't change before the gate (honker-0163).
+- Rows 253 (48e450ce8) and 275 landed. b1 is rebased onto refactor 94c33a43c as honker/row239-r2. The
+  push branch honker/row239 isn't rewritten.
+- Drift between aca16404c and 94c33a43c on the 15 paths: only packages/bus/src/broker.mjs, where row 275
+  changes the viewer verbs. Neither of row 239's two hunks (`#fireJob` and `#organizationFail`) moves in
+  meaning. The rebase applied with no conflict. The two pinned files (cli transport.mjs, webui bus.mjs)
+  and channel-proof.test have no upstream change, so the b1 pins stand.
+- Each M1-M3g replacement string still matches exactly once.
+- The touched test files run whole again on the new base, in the slot (the rebase rule).
+
+## 2026-10-23 r3 rebase (Honker, sage-3730)
+
+- r2 (70c6e3772) is rebased onto refactor 93694c518 as honker/row239-r3. honker/row239-r2 isn't rewritten.
+- Between 94c33a43c and 93694c518, five of the 16 paths changed upstream: bus broker.mjs and runtime.mjs,
+  channel-proof.test, and webui bus.mjs and serve.mjs. Every file merged on its own except channel-proof.test,
+  where row 301 (59f0e44f4, mos-1449) re-pinned webui bus.mjs for the user transport fold. The merged
+  pin keeps row 301's comment and row 239's, and takes sha256 e3f52172…1c2a89 of the merged bus.mjs.
+  The transport.mjs pin (662642a8…6e55b) still matches the file.
+- Row 239's hunks in broker.mjs (`#fireJob`, `#organizationFail`), runtime.mjs (the revoke comment),
+  bus.mjs (OPEN, STATUS) and serve.mjs are unchanged apart from their position. The range-diff shows
+  only the channel-proof pin and the hunk context moved.
+- Each M1-M3g replacement string still matches exactly once. M3f's target is the whole `OPEN` line,
+  since `, 'outcome-unknown-revoked'` also appears in the STATUS line.
+- No 64-hex pin in packages/*/tests or scripts names a changed file except channel-proof.test.
+- On the CLEAR (sage-3730): the touched files whole, then M1-M3g, then the counts here. Sage runs the
+  full gate on the replay at landing.
+
+## 2026-10-23 r4 replay and the slot run (Honker, sage-3773 CLEAR)
+
+- On the CLEAR, refactor was 546366f4a (row 320 landed at 094124b4e). None of the 16 manifest paths changed
+  between 93694c518 and 546366f4a. Upstream did change library src/index.mjs, which bus runtime.mjs imports,
+  and business src/index.mjs, which the cli imports, so the run was on a replay onto 546366f4a rather than
+  on r3's base. That replay is honker/row239-r4 0cae2dad5. The range-diff of r3 against r4 is four `=`
+  lines with equal patch-ids, so duckworth-0292's read of r3 applies to r4. r3 isn't rewritten.
+- The run was on 0cae2dad5 with a clean tree, TMPDIR under /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp, 22:01:27Z-22:01:52Z.
+- The touched files, run whole: business lifecycle-settings 12/12, bus fire-revokes-grants 24/24, bus
+  channel-proof 2/2, cli instances 15/15, cli transport 3/3, webui agents 9/9. That's 65/65 with 0 skipped,
+  and no first-run red.
+- Mutants: 9 of 9 killed. Each was applied exactly once, and each made its named test fail as an assertion:
+  - M1 lifecycle: 3 fail (T1, T2, T3).
+  - M2: T1.
+  - M3a: T2 and T3.
+  - M3b fire-revokes-grants: T4.
+  - M3c instances: T5 CLI.
+  - M3d agents: T6.
+  - M3e: T4.
+  - M3f agents: T6.
+  - M3g transport: "busExit and refuseInsideAgent".
+
+  T4b passed under M3b and M3e. Every restore matched the HEAD blob by sha256, and the tree was clean
+  after the run.
+- No full gate (sage-3730): Sage runs it on the replay at landing.

+# Row 239 design: the revoke under the writer's lock, and a fire test
+
+Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-20_agent-lifecycle.md, "Brief: row 194 follow-up, the revoke under the writer's
+lock and a fire test" (blob 3b3b3b2b9), from Duckworth's row 194 b3 N1 and mos-1158. Base aca16404c (row
+194 landed as fd6dd327c, row 281 as e479521d3). Builder Honker, reviewer Duckworth, gate owner Sage.
+Draft 1, 2026-10-22.
+
+## Today
+
+- `instance-settings.mjs` `commit()` runs the checks, then compares the caller's revision with a fresh
+  `writer.read` (row 194 b3, sage-1634), then calls `beforeWrite` (the fire's or the delete's credential
+  revoke), then `writer.write`.
+- `writer.write` (`organization.mjs`) takes the lock, runs `recover`, checks the revision again (`:188`),
+  validates, prepares, checks the bytes once more before publication (`:221`), renames and commits.
+- So two windows are left.
+  - A write that lands between `commit()`'s read and the writer's lock still gets a revoke and then a
+    `revision-conflict`.
+  - Any refusal after the revoke ran (the `:221` check, or an I/O failure the bus reports as
+    `outcome-unknown`) uses the same text as one before it, so nothing says the tokens may be gone.
+- Row 281 left this path alone. Its fire job (`broker.mjs` `#fireJob`) runs step G (grants), then step B,
+  which is this same `write('instance.fire')`, and reports a step B failure as `fire.failed` along with a
+  human notice that names the code. Its delete job only does step G. The delete itself still commits
+  through `lifecycleDelete` → `instances.set` op delete → `commit()`.
+
+## What changes
+
+### 1. `beforeWrite` runs inside `writer.write`, under the lock (organization.mjs)
+
+`write(id, document, { revision, actor, detail, context, beforeWrite = null })`. The order under the lock:
+
+1. `recover`, read, then the `:188` revision check. A refusal here revokes nothing.
+2. Projects-protected and both validations. A refusal here revokes nothing either. I put `beforeWrite`
+   after these rather than straight after `:188`, so a document the writer would refuse anyway never
+   costs a revoke. Q1 asks Duckworth to confirm this.
+3. `beforeWrite()`. If it throws (today `credential-revoke-failed`), the error propagates as it is and
+   nothing has been written, as now.
+4. Prepare, the `:221` check, rename and commit, wrapped so that any error thrown after step 3 gets
+   `revoked = true` set on it before it is rethrown. That covers `revision-conflict` from `:221`, an
+   `organization-refused` from `log()`, a barrier throw, and an fs error.
+
+`record()` and the other writers (`launch-settings`, `plugin-settings`, `credentialVerbs`) pass no
+`beforeWrite` and behave as before.
+
+### 2. commit() passes beforeWrite through (instance-settings.mjs)
+
+`commit()` passes `beforeWrite` to `writer.write` and no longer calls it itself. The row 194 b3 early check
+stays. It costs one read, keeps T21's refusal before any validation work, and is no longer what protects
+the revoke. Its comment is rewritten to say so, and the "(BUILD.md follow-up)" sentence goes.
+
+`instanceSettings({ ..., writer = organizationWriter({ dir, rolesDir }) })` takes an optional writer, so a
+test can inject one (the brief's "injected writer"). `runtime.mjs` passes none.
+
+### 3. The bus names a refusal after a revoke (broker.mjs `#organizationFail`)
+
+The bus answers with a code only, and the CLI and Console look the text up by code. So the "may already be
+revoked" signal has to be a code. Two new codes:
+
+- `revision-conflict-revoked`: `e.revoked && e.code === 'revision-conflict'`.
+- `outcome-unknown-revoked`: `e.revoked` with any other code. The write may or may not have landed, since a
+  failure after the rename is recovered as committed.
+
+Both are checked before the existing mappings. An error without `revoked` maps exactly as today, so a
+refusal before any revoke keeps today's code and text. Q2 asks about the names.
+
+### 4. The texts
+
+- CLI `instances.mjs` REASONS:
+  - `revision-conflict-revoked`: "the business file changed before the write, after the agent's tokens
+    were revoked; the tokens may already be revoked and the instance can't use them; read the instances
+    again and run the same command again, which is safe".
+  - `outcome-unknown-revoked`: "the write's outcome is unknown and the agent's tokens may already be
+    revoked; read the instances before trying again".
+- Console `serve.mjs` AGENT_REASONS: the same two, in the Console's wording ("delete again").
+- `#fireJob`'s `fire.failed` notice: when the code ends in `-revoked`, it adds "Its credential tokens may
+  already be revoked." The chief's synchronous fire (no grants) answers with the code, as every chief verb
+  does.
+- `transport.mjs` EXIT: `outcome-unknown-revoked` exits 1, as `outcome-unknown` does. Console
+  `bus.mjs` STATUS: `revision-conflict-revoked` 409, `outcome-unknown-revoked` 503. A delete's code
+  reaches both as a closed request's `refusal`, so these two only matter for a direct verb answer.
+
+## Tests
+
+- **T1, the brief's fire test** (business `instance-settings.test.mjs`). The fire uses an injected writer
+  that wraps the real one. Its `write` makes one hand edit of the business file (a vars change on another
+  instance) and then calls the real `write`, so the edit lands after `commit()`'s early check and before
+  the lock's `:188` check. Expected:
+  - the fire refuses `revision-conflict` without `revoked`;
+  - the revoke spy has no calls;
+  - the business file's bytes are the hand edit's;
+  - changes.jsonl has no new prepared entry.
+- **T2** (same file). A fire on a real writer built with `barrier: stage => stage === 'prepared' && edit()`.
+  The revoke runs, then `:221` refuses. Expected: `revision-conflict` with `revoked === true`, one revoke
+  call, the file's bytes are the edit's, and the last receipt is `aborted`.
+- **T3** (same file). The same, with a `prepared` barrier that throws. Expected: the error has
+  `revoked === true`, one revoke call, and the file unchanged. A delete through the same writer gives the
+  same result (T3b).
+- **T4** (bus `fire-revokes-grants.test.mjs`, its injected `f.org`). `f.org.fireError` is a
+  `revision-conflict` with `revoked: true`. Expected:
+  - the job's `fire.failed` carries `revision-conflict-revoked`, and the inbox message says "may already
+    be revoked";
+  - the same with no `grants` (the synchronous fire) refuses `revision-conflict-revoked`;
+  - a plain `revision-conflict` still maps to `revision-conflict` and the message lacks the sentence.
+  - T4b: `outcome-unknown-revoked` for an fs-style error with `revoked`.
+- **T5** (cli `lifecycle.test.mjs` or `instances.test.mjs`, whichever already reads a closed delete's
+  refusal). A delete closed with `revision-conflict-revoked` prints the new text, and one closed with
+  `revision-conflict` prints today's.
+- **T6** (webui `agents.test.mjs`). The same pair for the Console's reason.
+- T21 (bus `lifecycle-revoke.test.mjs`) stays as it is, for delete.
+
+## Mutants
+
+| Mutant | Change | Killed by |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| M1 | `beforeWrite` before the lock: `commit()` calls `beforeWrite()` itself and passes none to `write` | T1 (the revoke spy has a call) |
+| M2 | The fire refusal dropped: the `:188` revision check removed | T1 (the write lands over the hand edit) |
+| M3a | The mark dropped: no `revoked = true` in the catch | T2, T3, and T4 through the codes |
+| M3b | `#organizationFail` ignores `revoked` | T4 |
+| M3c | CLI text: the two REASONS entries removed | T5 |
+| M3d | Console text: the two AGENT_REASONS entries removed | T6 |
+| M3e | The notice: the `fire.failed` sentence removed | T4 |
+
+M3a-M3e together are the brief's "drop the may already be revoked text".

+
+## Gate
+
+As the brief says:
+
+- Duckworth approves the manifest.
+- The bus, business, cli and webui suites and every `scripts/test-*.sh` are green on Sage's slot, with
+  the touched test files run whole.
+- M1-M3e are killed.
+
+Before the in-review move I grep the tests for the changed comment and error text, and for hash pins on the
+changed files.
+
+## Questions for Duckworth
+
+- **Q1.** Should `beforeWrite` run after the writer's validations (my pick) or straight after `:188` (the
+  brief's literal place)? Running it later means a document the writer would refuse revokes nothing.
+- **Q2.** Are two new codes, `revision-conflict-revoked` and `outcome-unknown-revoked`, the right way to
+  carry the signal? The alternative is to give `BusError` a detail field, which every CLI and Console
+  reader would then have to learn. The codes are additive and no existing code changes meaning.
+- **Q3.** The brief's mutant "drop the fire refusal": I read it as removing the `:188` check (M2). If you
+  meant the fire test's own refusal, say so and I'll redefine it.

+# Row 283 (#1788) C2-01d build notes (Honker)
+
+Append-only. Design: DESIGN.md d2 16e809457, APPROVE webby-0172. Gate owner Sage, reviewer Webby.
+
+## 2026-10-23 build on 45dca69f6 (sage-3577)
+
+Branch honker/row283-build from origin/refactor 45dca69f6e4bce52834587f66f2ff33ba839ab8a. The old branch
+honker/row283 (16e809457) held only the design, so its two commits were cherry-picked as 398314cf4
+(d1) and 4f66dccde (d2). The DESIGN.md blob equals 16e809457's.
+
+Commits:
+- 331653b38: code, README and tests T1-T8.
+- 28918824c: the survey.test:73 re-pin, alone (mos-1330 item 4).
+- this file.
+
+Nothing has run. No node, test or mutant ran during the build: Darkwing held the slot. Every count
+below is a plan until Sage's CLEAR.
+
+### Drift check (sage-3577)
+
+`git diff --stat 94c33a43c 45dca69f6` (design base to build base) over the paths the tests read or
+hash-pin:
+- No change in packages/library, packages/business/src/business.mjs or
+  packages/business/tests/business.test.mjs.
+- No test hash-pins a library file. bus library.test and library-sync.test import index.mjs, and
+  stack-copy.test only checks that index.mjs exists.
+- webui library-cli.test changed one line and doesn't read scope. The `classify` in webui reads.mjs is
+  the business one, not the library's.
+
+I redo the drift check on BASE..refactor before the in-review move.
+
+### N3 (webby-0169): deepEquals of the mapping output outside packages/library
+
+`git grep -n playground -- 'packages/*/tests/*' ':!packages/library/*'` and the files naming
+`universes` give two files:
+- business.test.mjs:20 compares `validateBusinessDocument(...).projects.books` with
+  `checkMapping(mappingEntry())`. That is output against output, so `supporting: []` shows up on both
+  sides. :27 compares only `.playground`.
+- library-projects-protected.test.mjs compares file bytes (:31, :32) and change paths (:58), never the
+  mapping output.
+
+No re-pin is needed outside library. Inside library, only the draft deepEqual at mapping.test:48 gains
+`supporting: []`, as the design says.
+
+### Q1 departure (sage-2923) and the :73 re-pin (mos-1330 item 4)
+
+survey.mjs:65 counts `supporting: 0` and formatSurvey prints it. T8 is the only added test
+(survey.test "C2-01d: with --mapping the survey counts supporting files").
+
+mos-1330 item 4, packages/library/tests/survey.test.mjs:73, commit 28918824c:
+- old: `'scopes canon 5, playground 1, unmapped 3; indexed 6',`
+- new: `'scopes canon 5, playground 1, supporting 0, unmapped 3; indexed 6',`
+
+N2: the pin gains only `supporting 0`. No other text on the line or in that test moved.
+
+### Q2 tradeoff (webby-0169)
+
+A supporting prefix that holds a playground prefix refuses `library-mapping-invalid`. That goes past
+the brief, but it is the fail-closed reading, and it uses an existing code: classify checks supporting
+first, so that playground prefix could never match. The cost is that she can't nest a playground under
+a supporting folder, though she can nest the other way (a playground holding a supporting folder).
+
+### Handoffs
+
+- Q4 (webby-0169, sage-2930): the M12 delete rule ("A delete also needs the path to exist at the tip as
+  a 100644 blob", case2 DESIGN.md :308) is not in supportingPath. It binds row 288 (C2-02) via Gitea
+  #1793 comment 30738, with tests for a missing path and a non-100644 entry.
+- A save with no `editor` refusing is C2-02's (DESIGN.md section 1).
+
+### Choices the design left open
+
+- The book loop is now `againstBooks(owners, list, code)` in mapping.mjs, called once per list. The
+  playground's messages and codes are byte-equal to before.
+- A non-string path refuses `library-write-story-path` ("the path must be a string") as part of
+  check 1. A non-array `tree` is a TypeError (DESIGN.md section 3).
+- Check 8 builds the tree's names as every path and every folder above it, keyed by
+  `normalize('NFC').toLowerCase()`. A name on the way refuses if its key holds any name other than
+  itself, so a tree that already holds case twins refuses a write to either (R7).
+
+### Mutants (exact strings)
+
+Each applies one replacement to the build tip. Run one at a time, and restore with `git checkout --`
+on the one file before the next.
+
+| Mutant | File | Replace | With | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| M1 | src/scope.mjs | `const prefix = entry.supporting.find(p => inside(p, path));` | `const prefix = entry.supporting.find(p => inside(p, path) && !entry.playground.some(q => inside(q, path)));` | scope.test "supporting comes before playground", supporting.test "passes at book level" (both-lists path) |
+| M2 | src/mapping.mjs | `if ((inside \|\| holding) && owner !== id)` | `if ((inside \|\| holding) && owner !== id && list !== 'supporting')` | mapping.test "each supporting prefix rule", business.test C2-04 |

+(The `\|` in the table is an escaped `|` in the source text.) Each mutant runs the one test file named,
+plus business.test for M2, under `timeout -k 10 600`. A mutant passes the gate only when its run is red
+on the named test and the restored file's sha256 equals the build tip's.
+
+### Gate plan (on Sage's CLEAR)
+
+1. The touched files whole, each under `timeout -k 10 600`: library mapping, scope, supporting and
+   survey tests, and business.test.mjs. Counts go below.
+2. M1-M8 as above.
+3. The full gate, under mos-1275 timeouts: `node --test packages/library/tests/` and
+   `node --test packages/business/tests/` each under `timeout -k 10 1800`, and every scripts/test-*.sh
+   under `timeout -k 10 300`. pipefail and tee, with skips named (test-task Docker groups).
+4. Before in-review: grep packages/*/tests for a 64-hex pin on any changed file and for the changed
+   message text, then the drift check on BASE..refactor.
+
+## 2026-10-23 Webby early look (webby-0227, static, not a verdict)
+
+- E1: business.test.mjs is an existing test file with a 4-line addition after the playground refusal.
+  The in-review request lists it next to survey.test:73.
+- E3 fixed: supportingPath now runs the string check before `JSON.stringify`, so a BigInt (or any
+  non-string) path refuses `library-write-story-path` instead of throwing a TypeError.
+  supporting.test's string case now covers 7, null, undefined, 1n and an array.
+- E2 open: `editor` takes surrounding whitespace, and git trims it at commit, so the saved ident and
+  the commit ident can differ. DESIGN.md section 1 says "non-empty after trim". Refusing
+  `value.trim() !== value` would change that approved rule, so it went to Sage instead of into the
+  build.
+
+## 2026-10-23 E2 departure (sage-3601)
+
+A departure from DESIGN.md section 1 (which stays unedited). The design says each `editor` value is
+"non-empty after trim". Sage ruled that surrounding whitespace refuses too, because git trims an
+ident at commit, so a padded value would save one name and commit another. mapping.mjs now adds
+`if (value.trim() !== value) bad(`editor.${key} must not start or end with whitespace`)` after the
+IDENT_BAD check. `trim()` covers Unicode whitespace, so U+00A0 and U+3000 refuse as well. Inner
+whitespace is kept ("Her  Middle Name" passes).
+
+T3 gains a case per key for leading, trailing and both-ends spaces, U+00A0 and U+3000, plus one inner
+whitespace pass.
+
+M6 grows a third part:
+
+| Mutant | File | Replace | With | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| M6c | src/mapping.mjs | `if (value.trim() !== value) bad(` | `if (false && value.trim() !== value) bad(` | mapping.test "editor is optional" (padded cases) |
+
+Fixture grep: `git grep -nE "\beditor\b|\bauthor\b" -- 'packages/library/tests/*' 'packages/business/tests/*'`,
+leaving out mapping.test.mjs, finds nothing. packages/business/tests has no fixtures directory. The
+library fixture mapping.json has no `editor`. The positive control (`vaultPrefix` in mapping.json)
+matches once. No fixture maps an editor or author with surrounding whitespace.
+
+## 2026-10-23 E4 (webby-0230, sage-3606), same departure as E2
+
+Claimed: `queue move 283 in-progress`, op honker-283-start, rev 3642, 19:10:49Z (briefed→in-progress).
+
+Git's ident.c `crud()` strips any byte <= 0x20 and `, : ; < > " \ '` from both ends of an ident. I
+checked that with git 2.55.0: `Jane,` `"Jane"` `'Jane'` `Jane;` `Jane:` `Jane\` and `,Jane` all
+commit as `Jane`, while `Jane.` and `Ja,ne` are kept. mapping.mjs now takes the set from crud()
+rather than from that list: `IDENT_CRUD_END = /^[\u0000-\u0020,:;<>"\\']|[\u0000-\u0020,:;<>"\\']$/`.
+The E2 check became `if (value.trim() !== value || IDENT_CRUD_END.test(value))`, which refuses
+library-mapping-invalid with "editor.<key> must not start or end with whitespace or any of , : ; " ' \".
+`trim()` still catches Unicode whitespace (U+00A0, U+3000), which crud() leaves alone.
+
+Inner characters: IDENT_BAD (`/[\u0000-\u001f\u007f-\u009f<>]/`) already refuses `<`, `>`, newline,
+tab and every other control anywhere in the value. T3 now pins that at the start, the end and the
+middle. Inner `, : ; " ' \` are kept, since git keeps them, and T3 pins that too.
+
+Tests:
+- T3 has one case per character in [space, U+00A0, U+3000, `,`, `:`, `;`, `"`, `'`, `\`], at the start
+  and at the end, for each key. `<`, `>`, newline and tab are pinned at the start, end and middle.
+  Four accepted names have inner crud characters.
+- New round-trip test, "an accepted editor round-trips through a real git commit unchanged". It
+  commits in a scratch repo with editor `Doe, Jane Q.` / `[email protected].` as author and
+  committer, with GIT_AUTHOR_* and GIT_COMMITTER_* stripped from the env, and asserts `git log`
+  shows exactly the saved values. I preflighted that commit with git 2.55.0 by hand: both values came
+  back unchanged.
+
+M6c now replaces the whole end check (this supersedes the earlier M6c row):
+
+| Mutant | File | Replace | With | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| M6c | src/mapping.mjs | `if (value.trim() !== value \|\| IDENT_CRUD_END.test(value))` | `if (false)` | mapping.test "editor is optional" (end cases) |
+| M6d | src/mapping.mjs | `if (value.trim() !== value \|\| IDENT_CRUD_END.test(value))` | `if (value.trim() !== value)` | mapping.test "editor is optional" (`,` `:` `;` `"` `'` `\` cases) |
+
+## 2026-10-23 E5 (webby-0236, not blocking), fixed
+
+The round-trip test stripped only GIT_AUTHOR_* and GIT_COMMITTER_*. With GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE or
+GIT_INDEX_FILE set (inside a hook, say), GIT_DIR beats `-C root` and the commit would land in the
+outer repo, and the test read global and system config. It now deletes GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE,
+GIT_COMMON_DIR and GIT_INDEX_FILE (as queue/tests/helpers.mjs gitEnv does) and sets
+GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null and GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1 (as ledger.test.mjs does). The `-c user.*`
+ident still applies. Test only; no mutant changes.
+
+## 2026-10-23 sage-2925: optional editor.user (sage-3649)
+
+sage-2925 (recorded in ludwig/row286-r2 agents/ludwig/work/queue-286/BUILD.md, Q4) ruled that row 283
+adds an optional `editor.user`, her Gitea login for the `library-human` slot, which row 288 (C2-02)
+passes to `humanCredential(context, {user})`. It reached this row after the DESIGN.md d2 approval
+(ludwig-0068, bubba-0009, sage-3649), so it departs from DESIGN.md section 1 ("exactly the keys
+`name` and `email`"). DESIGN.md stays unedited.
+
+- mapping.mjs: `only(entry.editor, ['name', 'email', 'user'], 'editor')`. When present, `user` must be
+  a string matching USER (`/^[A-Za-z0-9_.-]{1,100}$/`, the entry `user` check), else
+  library-mapping-invalid "editor.user must be a plain account name". The output carries `user` only
+  when given. An absent `editor.user` refusing library-human-missing is 288's (bubba-0009).
+- README: the `editor` line names `user` and the end-character rule from E2/E4.
+- Tests: T3 (mapping.test "editor is optional") gains one accepted case (`her.login-1`, kept in the
+  output) and refused cases for '', an inner space, '@', 101 characters, 7 and null. They go in
+  mapping.test with the other editor cases, not in the new supporting.test, which tests write paths.
+- No test outside mapping.test reads `editor` or pins mapping.mjs or README (git grep).
+
+| Mutant | File | Replace | With | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| M6e | src/mapping.mjs | `if (Object.hasOwn(entry.editor, 'user') && (typeof entry.editor.user !== 'string' \|\| !USER.test(entry.editor.user)))` | `if (false)` | mapping.test "editor is optional" (editor.user refusals) |
+| M6f | src/mapping.mjs | `...(Object.hasOwn(entry.editor, 'user') ? { user: entry.editor.user } : {})` | `...({})` | mapping.test "editor is optional" (`her.login-1` kept) |
+
+## 2026-10-23 T2 run (sage-3695 CLEAR, lane A, library and business only)
+
+Node v26.8.1. refactor was e2b873390 (226 landed); `git diff --stat 45dca69f6 e2b873390 -- packages/library
+packages/business` is empty. TMPDIR was a mktemp -d under /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp, with pipefail.
+Singles and mutants ran under `timeout -k 10 600`, suites under `timeout -k 10 1800`.
+
+First-run red (mos-1272, placed): the first base run on 46bad7ea3 at 20:01:09Z was red in
+supporting.test "malformed paths refuse by class, in order". 5 of 6 passed, with `TypeError: Do not know
+how to serialize a BigInt`. The cause was the test helper, not the product: `refuses()` labelled each
+assertion with `JSON.stringify(path)`, and the 1n case added for E3 can't be stringified. In c18ad3e12
+the label uses `util.inspect(path)`, a 2-line test-only change. The product's 1n refusal was never in
+question: supportingPath type-checks before it stringifies (E3). The whole run below is on c18ad3e12.
+
+Base, the touched files whole (20:01:43Z), all rc=0:
+- library mapping.test 16/16, scope.test 6/6, supporting.test 6/6, survey.test 7/7;
+- business business.test 21/21;
+- 0 skipped, 0 cancelled, 0 todo.

+This entry completes the N3 line above (BUILD.md:42, "only the draft deepEqual at mapping.test:48 gains

+# Row 283 (#1788) C2-01d design, draft 2 (Honker)
+
+Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md "C2-01d" at refactor 94c33a43c. Sources: the design at
+agents/gosalyn/work/case2/DESIGN.md b68d79663, the ruling after r11 (:207), the M12 paragraph (:300),
+1.1 (:755) and 1.2 (:817). Base 94c33a43c. Reviewer Webby, gate owner Sage. Nothing is built yet. The
+build waits for 282 to land (sage-2906).
+
+## 1. Mapping (packages/library/src/mapping.mjs)
+
+`supporting`:
+- Every universe kind takes an optional `supporting` list: plain `['name','books','playground','supporting']`,
+  hybrid adds it to its seven keys, and a draft gets `['kind','name','playground','supporting']`.
+- Each value is checked as a playground prefix is: a string ending in `/` whose body passes `folder()`.
+- The output carries `supporting` on every universe, `[]` when absent, the way a draft carries
+  `books: []`. classify then needs no `?? []`. The business writer writes the raw document
+  (organization.mjs:195), not this output, so no business file changes shape.
+- The prefix rules, across every entry (ruling after r11):
+  - A supporting prefix holding another supporting prefix, or one listed twice, refuses
+    `library-mapping-invalid`.
+  - A prefix equal to one of its own entry's book folders, or holding one, refuses `library-mapping-invalid`.
+  - A prefix inside or holding another entry's book folder refuses `library-supporting-other-universe`.
+  - Level comes from where the prefix sits, as for the playground: inside one of its own entry's books
+    is book level, and outside every book is universe level. A draft's prefixes are all universe level.
+- Between the two lists (my choice, Q2):
+  - A supporting prefix may equal a playground prefix of the same entry. That folder is writable.
+  - A playground prefix may hold a supporting prefix of the same entry. The inner folder is supporting
+    and the rest stays playground.
+  - A supporting prefix that holds a playground prefix refuses `library-mapping-invalid`. classify
+    checks supporting first, so that playground prefix could never match.
+  - A supporting prefix equal to, holding or inside a playground prefix of another entry refuses
+    `library-mapping-invalid`. Otherwise one path would have two universes.
+- The book loop at mapping.mjs:128-140 becomes a helper that both lists call with their own code and
+  label. The playground's messages and codes stay byte-equal, so no existing test text moves.
+
+`editor`:
+- The entry takes an optional `editor`. When present, it is an object with exactly the keys `name` and
+  `email` (via `only()`). Each value is a string that is non-empty after trim and has no control
+  character (`[\u0000-\u001f\u007f-\u009f]`), `<` or `>` (webby-0169 R1: git drops them from an ident
+  and commits under a different name, so C2-02 would never see a failure). Anything else refuses
+  `library-mapping-invalid`.
+- The output carries `editor: { name, email }` only when present, as `user` and `vaultPrefix` do. A save
+  with no `editor` refusing is C2-02's job.
+
+## 2. Scope (scope.mjs)
+
+- `classify` gets a supporting loop before the playground loop (design 1.2). It returns `place(...)`
+  with `{ scope: 'supporting', universe, book }`. The book is the book folder holding the prefix, or
+  null at universe level and in a draft. The type and folder come from the first folder under the
+  prefix, as for the playground.
+- The `.md` check stays first, so a `.canvas` or `.base` under a supporting prefix stays unmapped.
+- The comment above `classify` names the three prefix scopes and the order.
+
+## 3. supportingPath (new supporting.mjs)
+
+`supportingPath(mapping, universe, path, tree)` returns `path` or throws
+`LibraryError('library-write-story-path', ...)`. It is pure and reads no git.
+
+- `tree` is the array `listTree` returns (reader.mjs:26, `{ mode, type, oid, size, path }`), so the
+  C2-02 broker passes its listing as it is (Q3). A non-array `tree` throws a TypeError, because that is
+  a caller bug, not a path class.
+- The checks run in this order, each with its own message naming the class:
+  1. The path must be a string of at most 1,024 UTF-8 bytes (`Buffer.byteLength`).
+  2. It must have no control character, using the same control class as `editor` (not `<` or `>`).
+  3. It must have no backslash.
+  4. It must not be absolute (a leading `/`).
+  5. It must have no empty, `.` or `..` segment. That also catches `//` and a trailing `/`.
+  6. `classify(mapping, path)` must give scope `supporting` and that same `universe`. This one check
+     covers an unknown universe, an unmapped path, a `.canvas`, `.base` or attachment, a canon or
+     story path, a playground path that isn't also supporting, and another universe's prefix. The scope
+     rule then has one source, and M1 below hits both.
+  7. Every proper prefix of the path (`a`, `a/b`, ...) and the path itself must not be in `tree` with
+     mode `120000` (symlink) or `160000` (gitlink).
+  8. No prefix of the path, and not the path itself, may equal a tree path or a tree directory
+     (derived from the entries' paths) after `normalize('NFC').toLowerCase()` on both sides, unless
+     it equals that tree path exactly. NFC as well as case, because APFS treats NFC and NFD forms of
+     a name as one file (webby-0169 N1).
+     Directories are checked too, because the folders under a supporting prefix are hers to name. A
+     path in a tree that holds both `a.md` and `A.md` refuses, which matches R7.
+- The refusal messages quote the path with JSON, except for the control-character class, whose message
+  leaves the path out.
+- The delete rule ("A delete also needs the path to exist at the tip as a 100644 blob", M12) isn't in
+  the brief's supportingPath list. It stays with C2-02's delete (Q4).
+  The C2-02 brief doesn't name it (only design :308), so BUILD.md carries it to C2-02 under Handoffs
+  (webby-0169 Q4).
+- index.mjs exports `supportingPath`.
+
+## 4. README (packages/library/README.md)
+
+- Mapping: `supporting` and its rules, the cross-list rules, and `editor`.
+- Refusals: a `library-supporting-other-universe` row, and the new cases in the
+  `library-mapping-invalid` row.
+- Scope: supporting first, then playground, then canon.
+- A new section, "Agent write paths", for supportingPath and its classes.
+
+## 5. Callers of classify outside files owned (Q1 for Sage)
+
+- survey.mjs:65 builds `{ canon: 0, playground: 0, unmapped: 0 }` and increments
+  `scopes[classify(...).scope]`. A supporting file adds `supporting: NaN`, and formatSurvey (:92) never
+  prints it. I propose a departure: add `supporting: 0` and print it, so the line becomes
+  `scopes canon 5, playground 1, supporting 0, unmapped 3; indexed 6`. That re-pins survey.test:73 and
+  adds a count test. Without it, the survey reports garbage once she marks a folder. The departure
+  covers two files, packages/library/src/survey.mjs and packages/library/tests/survey.test.mjs.
+- No change in the rest, each for a reason:
+  - reader.mjs:183 skips only unmapped, so supporting files are indexed like playground files.
+  - R5 (:207) flags only canon to playground, as design 1.3 R5 says. A canon link to a supporting file
+    raises nothing.
+  - render.mjs:23 gives supporting a null badge. The supporting badge belongs to C2-10b (design :1415).
+  - mirror.mjs:246 refuses only unmapped. Reading supporting files by scope is C2-05c's.
+  - No bus or webui source filters on scope (git grep at 94c33a43c).
+- M9 already protects the whole `projects` key from agent edits (library-projects-protected.test). No
+  test is added there.
+
+## 6. Tests
+
+- mapping.test:
+  - T1: `supporting` at book level, at universe level, in a hybrid and in a draft. The output carries
+    it, with `[]` when absent. The draft `deepEqual` at :48 gains `supporting: []`.
+  - T2: one test per prefix rule.
+    - These refuse `library-mapping-invalid`: no trailing `/`, a bad folder, one holding another, one
+      listed twice, one equal to its own book, one holding its own book, one holding a playground
+      prefix, and one overlapping another entry's playground.
+    - These refuse `library-supporting-other-universe`: one inside another universe's book, and one
+      holding another universe's book.
+    - An equal same-entry playground passes.
+  - T3: `editor` passes, and absent passes. It refuses `library-mapping-invalid` for a non-object, an
+    array, an extra key, a missing key, an empty or blank value, a non-string, and a control character,
+    `<` or `>` in either value.
+- scope.test, T4:
+  - Supporting at book level, universe level and in a draft each give their universe and book.
+  - A folder in both lists is `supporting`, and a playground-only folder is `playground`.
+  - A supporting `.canvas` or `.base` is unmapped.
+- supporting.test (new):
+  - T5 passes at book level, universe level, in a draft, in a both-lists folder, and at exactly 1,024 bytes.
+  - T6 has one refusal per class against a fixture tree with a symlink, a gitlink and a case variant.
+    The classes are:
+    - unmapped, `.canvas`, `.base`, an attachment, canon, playground-only, another universe's
+      supporting prefix, and an unknown universe;
+    - absolute, `..`, `.`, `//`, a trailing `/`, a backslash, a C0 control and DEL;
+    - a symlink folder, a gitlink folder, and a symlink at the path itself;
+    - a case-variant file, a case-variant folder, and an NFD-form variant of an NFC tree name;
+    - 1,025 bytes made with a multi-byte character, so bytes and characters differ.
+  - Each asserts the code `library-write-story-path`.
+- business.test: T7 adds one assertion that `validateBusinessDocument` refuses
+  `library-supporting-other-universe`.
+- survey.test (only if Q1 is approved): T8 counts one supporting file, and :73 is re-pinned.
+
+## 7. Mutants (exact strings go in BUILD.md)
+
+| Mutant | Change | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|

+## 8. Gate
+
+- Webby approves the manifest.
+- The library and business suites and every scripts/test-*.sh are green on Sage's gate.
+- Timeouts (mos-1275): each package `timeout -k 10 1800`, each script `timeout -k 10 300`, each single
+  file and mutant `timeout -k 10 600`. These come from my row 256 gate at 10:34Z.
+- Before in-review, grep packages/*/tests for 64-hex pins on the changed files and for the changed
+  message text, then drift-check BASE..refactor.
+
+## 9. Questions
+
+- Q1 (Sage): approve the survey.mjs and survey.test.mjs departure in section 5?
+- Q2 (Webby): the cross-list rules in section 1?
+- Q3 (Webby): `tree` as the `listTree` array?
+- Q4 (Webby): the delete's 100644 check stays with C2-02?
+- Q5 (Webby): `editor` refuses only blank values and control characters, as the brief says. `<` and `>`
+  would break a git ident. I'd leave them to C2-02's commit step unless you want them refused here.
+
+## 10. Draft 2 (webby-0169)
+
+- R1 folded: `editor` refuses `<` and `>` too, with T3 cases and mutant M6b.
+- Q2 accepted. BUILD.md records the tradeoff: refusing a supporting prefix that holds a playground
+  prefix goes past the brief, but it is the fail-closed reading and uses an existing code. The cost
+  is that she can't nest a playground under a supporting folder, though she can nest the other way.
+- Q3 accepted. Q4: carried to C2-02 under Handoffs in BUILD.md, and Sage was asked to add it to C2-02's brief.
+- N1 folded into check 8 (NFC and case), with an NFD case in T6 and mutant M4b.
+- N2: the survey.test:73 pin gains only `supporting`, and the count test is the only addition
+  (mos-1330, its own commit).
+- N3: before the build, re-grep tests outside packages/library for a `deepEqual` of the mapping output
+  on the build base.

+# Row 298 (#1804, Q228): the chief-of-staff grant scope
+
+Owner Megavolt, reviewer Dewey. Assigned in sage-3584 (mos-1489), 2026-10-23 18:53Z.
+Base: origin/refactor 45dca69f6. Branch: megavolt/row298.
+Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-23_mvp-readiness-rows.md, "Brief: the chief-of-staff grant scope (Q228)".
+Decision: DECISIONS Q228 (jason-master-restart DECISIONS.md:2278). It replaces Mos's Q190 reading.
+
+## What exists at 45dca69f6 (broker.mjs)
+
+- Raise: `#raiseGrant` (:2558) is chief-only (`grant-chief-only`) and binds a grant body per method:
+  gitea `#giteaGrantBinding` (:2665), host `#hostGrantBinding` (:2599), or host-enroll `enrollBinding`.
+  The decision goes through `#dispatch(..., 'decision.raise', ...)`, routed to the human.
+- Approval: `#approvedGrant` (:1525) returns the binding only for a credential.mint routed to the
+  human and closed with `approvalChoice` by the business's human, via 'cli', or via 'console' with
+  the broker's own human.input (row 252).
+- Start: decision.resolve (:5653-5659) runs `#approvedGrant` after the close and, once the transaction
+  commits, starts `#runEnrollment`, `#runHostGrant` or `#startGitea` with setImmediate.
+- Spend and records: each executor calls `#consumeGrant` and writes the 236 records (grant.call,
+  grant.result, grant.step, grant.applied or grant.failed, gitea_grants or host_grants). Revoke
+  goes through grants.revoke and hosts.revoke, as before.
+- Human-only settings: `#human(s)` (cli, outsideAgent) plus `#mayHuman`, as in veto.set (:4713).
+  The organization file is checked whole by business.mjs `checkLaunch`, and a bad file refuses
+  every read.
+
+## Proposed design (waits on Sage's rulings, Q1-Q6 below)
+
+D1. Storage. The scope gets its own key, `launch.grantScope`, in the organization file. The
+    whole-file check doesn't refuse on it. A separate reader, `grantScope(document)`, returns the
+    parsed scope or, when the key is missing or bad, the empty scope `{}`, plus a `fallback` flag.
+    A bad value can't break every organization read, and it falls back to "everything needs
+    Approve", which is the fail-closed direction. (Q1)
+D2. Shape. `{ gitea?: { agents: [id], projects: [id] }, host?: { agents: [id], hosts: [id],
+    commands: [[argv prefix]] } }`. A request is in scope only if its method has an entry, its agent
+    is listed, and every target is listed: each gitea project, the host, and each command prefix
+    equal to a listed prefix. host-enroll is never in scope, because it adds a host to the registry.
+    (Q2)
+D3. Writer. A new verb, `grants.scope.set { revision, scope }`, CLI-only for the human: `#human(s)`,
+    then `#mayHuman`, with the verb added to LIFECYCLE_HUMAN_VERBS. The tester, the reader and every
+    agent are refused. organization.set's ORGANIZATION_KEYS don't include it, so the chief's tool
+    never reaches it, the same way instances.set and veto.set stay human-only. The write validates
+    strictly and refuses a bad value; only the read falls back. Receipt: `grants.scope` with the old
+    and new sha256. `grants.scope` reads the value for the human, the tester and the chief. (Q3)
+D4. In-scope raise. Inside the raise transaction, `#raiseGrant` checks the binding against the scope
+    and, if it's in scope, closes the new decision at once: op resolved, choice approvalChoice, by
+    `grant-scope`, via `scope`. It writes a `grant.scope.used` event carrying the scope sha256 and
+    revision. `#approvedGrant` accepts via 'scope' only when that event exists for the close's seq
+    and its sha256 matches the scope as read in the same transaction. After the commit, the same
+    setImmediate starts the same executor, so 236's spend, records and revoke are unchanged. The
+    decision is closed before any inbox read, so no inbox item ever shows. (Q4)
+D5. Out-of-scope raise: unchanged. The decision stays open, routed to the human, for the Console
+    and CLI Approve.
+D6. Executor recheck. At the spend, `#consumeGrant` reruns the scope check for a via-'scope'
+    approval. If the scope changed between raise and run and the grant is now out of scope, it
+    fails with `grant.failed scope-changed` and the grant is spent. (Q5)
+
+## Open questions for Sage
+
+Q1. Storage: `launch.grantScope` in the organization file with a lenient reader (D1), or a separate
+    file under the business directory?
+Q2. Shape: is per-method agent, project, host and command lists right? Should host-enroll stay
+    out of scope always?
+Q3. "A scope change needs Approve": is the human's CLI verb itself the Approve (D3)? Or must the
+    chief also be able to raise a scope change that Jason approves in the inbox (a new decision
+    action, more code)? I recommend D3 alone. Should Console get a scope page in this row? I
+    propose no.
+Q4. Recording an in-scope grant as a broker close via 'scope' with a scope event (D4), versus a
+    decision that is never raised (a new table). D4 keeps 236's records and revoke unchanged.
+Q5. Scope narrowed between raise and run: fail scope-changed (D6), or honor the raise-time check?
+Q6. Chief enrollment ("Jason's Approve stays for the chief of staff's enrollment"): I read this
+    as the chief's own instance and credentials, which the human's instances.set and the
+    credential lifecycle already cover. So nothing new is needed in this row. Agree?
+
+## Tests (access by brief; all on scratch stores, fake Gitea, fake host)
+
+T1 agent, chief and tester callers of grants.scope.set are refused, and organization.set with
+   grantScope is refused. T2 a bad or missing grantScope falls back to empty and the grant waits.
+T3 an in-scope gitea request issues with no open decision and no inbox item, and writes the 236
+   records. T4 the same for a host request. T5 out of scope by agent, by project, or by command
+   waits for Approve. T6 host-enroll always waits. T7 a scope change by the human's CLI writes a
+   receipt; a scope change by any other path is refused. T8 an in-scope grant is logged and revoked
+   with grants.revoke or hosts.revoke. T9 scope narrowed before run gives scope-changed.
+
+## Mutants (brief)
+
+M1 the scope check skipped (every chief raise auto-closes): killed by T5 and T6.
+M2 the fallback skipped (a bad value is used as-is or throws): killed by T2.
+M3 the `#human` check removed from grants.scope.set: killed by T1.
+
+## Holds
+
+Darkwing holds the slot: no push, no claim, no queue write, no node and no test run until Sage
+says so. Q188: no agent creates a grant; tests use scratch stores only.

+
+## Choices where the design table is silent or differs
+
+These are departures or gaps. Each is built as stated, so Sage can rule before Phase B. A ruling that changes one of them is a small edit.
+
+1. **Paging arguments (gap a).** The table has no offset. `find` and `search` take an optional `offset` (a position in the filtered list, default 0). A reply carries `next`: the position of the next item, or `null`.
+2. **`library_get` has no universe (gap b).** Built with a required `universe`. Without it the reply could not be isolated. A missing file and a file the universe cannot see both return `null`, so a caller cannot tell them apart. `get` also takes an optional `from` line.
+3. **`get` over the cap (gap c).** Lines page by `from` with `next`. `links_out` and `links_in` come back whole on every page. If the frontmatter and links alone exceed the cap, the call is refused with `query-item-too-large`. A hub note with many backlinks may be refused. This needs a ruling: link paging, or accept the refusal.
+4. **`manuscript` without a chapter (gap d).** Refused with `query-chapter-required`. The design names no list form. A chapter name that matches two visible files is refused with `query-chapter-ambiguous`.
+5. **`search` excerpt (gap e).** The excerpt is the whole line, not a truncation. A line that alone exceeds the cap is refused. Truncating it would cut an item.
+6. **`exclude` form (gap f).** `checkMapping` accepts only a folder path for `exclude` (`folder()`), so an exclusion is a path prefix. There is no type or source form to build. Confirm.
+7. **Pin constraints.** `pin` does not hide any file. It is reported by `universeInfo` only. Confirm.
+8. **Playground through `get`.** `scope` applies to lists. `get` by an explicit path returns a playground file of the caller's own universe. Confirm.
+9. **Links.** A link into a file the universe cannot see is dropped from `links_out` and `links_in`, in line with N1. Links from a visible file that point into another universe are kept in the index (the reader keeps them under R6), and the query layer drops them for universes that cannot see them.
+10. **`find` matching.** Case-insensitive substring over the front matter `name` and the file name. An empty `query` matches every file in scope.
+11. **Cache key.** `repo`, `commit` and a sha256 of the canonical mapping. Keying by commit alone would return the wrong scopes after a mapping change. The cache holds eight entries, least recently used out. Failed reads are not kept.
+12. **`universeInfo`.** Reads only the checked mapping and the served commit. It builds no index.
+13. **Reply commit.** Every reply carries the index commit, which is the served commit passed in.
+
+## Provisional refusal codes (pending Sage approval)
+
+The brief says new refusal codes need Sage's approval first. These are provisional and must not be treated as settled:
+
+- `query-argument-invalid`
+- `query-universe-unknown`
+- `query-chapter-required`
+- `query-chapter-ambiguous`
+- `query-item-too-large`
+
+Reused, existing codes: `library-mapping-invalid`, plus the reader's `library-git`, `library-commit` through `indexFor`.
+
+## Grep results (grep only, not a test run)
+
+- Test references to the changed paths: `packages/library/tests/*.mjs` import `../src/index.mjs` and `../src/mapping.mjs`. `packages/bus/tests/library.test.mjs` and `library-sync.test.mjs` import the library index as a namespace. Neither enumerates its exports, so the two new export lines break no assertion.
+- `packages/cli/tests/stack-copy.test.mjs:52` checks that `packages/library/src/index.mjs` exists, and it still does.
+- 64-hex pins: none in `packages/library/tests`, none on `index.mjs`, `query.mjs` or `index-build.mjs`.
+- `scripts/test-*.sh`: no reference to the new modules.
+
+## Flag for Sage
+
+- `packages/library/tests/helpers.mjs` `repo()` builds its fixtures under `tmpdir()`, which is `/tmp`. The launcher rules forbid that. The new tests do not use it; they use `tests/query-fixture.mjs`, which builds under `/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp`. The existing helper should be fixed in a separate row, not here.
+
+## Phase B commands (not run)
+
+Run only after Sage sends "slot clear". Set the scratch TMPDIR first, per the launcher rule.
+
+```
+cd /mnt/storage/src/mosaic-stack/.claude/worktrees/agent-aa3cc98787bc5152c/packages/library
+export TMPDIR=/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp
+node --test tests/query.test.mjs tests/index-build.test.mjs
+node --test tests/*.test.mjs
+```
+
+Also run `packages/bus/tests/library.test.mjs` and `library-sync.test.mjs`, since they import the index.
+
+## Status
+
+Not yet verified. Nothing has been tested and nothing is committed. The working tree holds the Phase A changes. AGENTS.md invariant 8 allows a commit only after the applicable suites are green, so the commit waits for Phase B. The dispatch asked for a local commit in Phase A; Sage to confirm that the commit waits for Phase B.
+
+## Round 2 (2026-10-22, sage-2708, sage-2716): rulings applied, rebased onto aca16404c
+
+Added after the text above; nothing above is edited. "Nothing is committed", "Provisional refusal codes",
+`query-chapter-required` and the tmpdir flag above were true when written and are superseded here.
+
+- Branch `researcher/row216-r2`, one local commit on origin/refactor `aca16404c`. Row 268 (C2-01c) is in
+  that base. Row 253 has not landed; the work rebases onto 253's tip before any gate. Not pushed, not run.
+- Rulings: `agents/sage/work/queue-216/RULINGS.md` at da9555ca2, rulings 1-13 and the tmpdir flag.
+- Drift check, d37210288..aca16404c against my paths: the library files that changed are `mapping.mjs`,
+  `scope.mjs`, `README.md` and the mapping and scope tests. None is a file I add or edit. `query.mjs` reads
+  the checked mapping through them, so the whole library package runs in phase B.
+
+### What changed from phase A
+
+| Ruling | Change in `query.mjs` | Test |
+|---|---|---|
+| 3 `get` over the cap | `links_out` and `links_in` page together with `links_from`; every reply carries `links_next`, `next` and the front matter. A page with lines left carries at least one line. Links take at most half the cap while lines remain. `query-item-too-large` is left for front matter alone or one line alone (or one link alone) | hub note with 900 backlinks pages and adds up; front matter alone and a line alone refused; bad `links_from` |
+| 4 `manuscript` no chapter | `chapter` optional: the first visible chapter in path order. Every reply carries `next_chapter`. `query-chapter-required` removed. Ambiguity still refuses | first chapter and `next_chapter`; ambiguous name refused |
+| 5 `search` long line | hit comes back `{path, line, excerpt: null, excerpt_too_long: true, scope}`, other hits still return | marked hit and unmarked hits in one reply |
+| 6 `exclude` | path-prefix reading only. The test names `EXCLUSION` and `EXCLUDED_PATHS` in `query-fixture.mjs`, so C2-15 (row 267) swaps two constants | exclusion hides from the hybrid and not from the source |
+| 8 hybrid `get` | unchanged code; test added | hybrid gets a source's playground file as `null`; the source gets it with `scope: "playground"` |
+| PRD 1.14 (row 268) | `universeInfo` reports `kind` from the mapping (`draft` included) | four tests below |
+
+PRD 1.14 tests, one each: a lookup naming a `book` leaves `book: null` files out (find and search);
+`library_manuscript` never reads a `book: null` file; a draft universe has no canon, so its lookups return
+files only with `scope: "playground"`; `library_universe` on a draft returns kind, name and prefixes.
+The levels fixture is `WITH_LEVELS` in `query.test.mjs`: harbor gets `Notes/Harbor/` as a universe-level
+playground prefix, and `idea` is a draft over `Drafts/New World/`.
+
+`query-fixture.mjs` builds under `tmpdir()`, as `helpers.mjs` does (ruling "tmpdir flag"). The earlier
+flag about `helpers.mjs` building under `/tmp` is closed by that ruling: the gate sets `TMPDIR`.
+
+Refusal codes now: `query-argument-invalid`, `query-universe-unknown`, `query-chapter-ambiguous`,
+`query-item-too-large`. All four approved in the rulings.
+
+### Grep results (grep only, not a test run)
+
+- `git grep` over `packages/*/tests/*` and `scripts/*` for `query.mjs` and `index-build`: no hit outside
+  `packages/library/tests/query*.test.mjs` and `index-build.test.mjs`.
+- 64-hex pins naming a library path: none. Positive control: the same pathspec finds the sha256 lines in
+  `packages/cli/tests/case1-hostcheck.test.mjs` and the `packages/library/src/index.mjs` existence check at
+  `packages/cli/tests/stack-copy.test.mjs:52`.
+- Tests that read `packages/library/src` as a directory: `packages/cli/tests/stack-release-fixture.mjs:309`
+  copies `packages/library/src` whole into a release fixture. It carries no file list, so two new files break
+  no assertion. `stack-release.test.mjs` is not in the gate unless Sage wants it.
+- Tests that import the library index as a namespace: `packages/bus/tests/library.test.mjs` and
+  `library-sync.test.mjs`. Neither enumerates exports, so the two export lines add no break. Both run
+  whole in phase B.
+
+### Run limits (fixed before any run)
+
+Every node file runs as its own `setsid -w timeout -k 10 LIMIT node --test FILE`; nothing runs unbounded.
+
+- Node test files: LIMIT 900 s. The library test files have no recorded time. 900 s is above the longest
+  recorded whole-package run I know of (cli, 591 s, row 281 BUILD.md "Runs" step 3), so it holds the 3x rule
+  for any single file. The first run records each file's time, and a file past 300 s gets a limit re-derived
+  from it before the next run. `query.test.mjs` builds a 900-file repo and a 3,000-file index rebuild is in
+  `index-build.test.mjs`; both are the files most likely to need it.
+- No shell script is in this row's gate, so no script limit applies.
+
+Any timeout goes to Sage, then Mos, unplaced (mos-1275).
+
+### Phase B (not run; Sage's CLEAR first, then a rebase onto 253's tip)
+
+```
+export TMPDIR=/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp
+cd <worktree>/packages/library
+for f in tests/*.test.mjs; do setsid -w timeout -k 10 900 node --test "$f"; done
+cd ../bus
+for f in tests/library.test.mjs tests/library-sync.test.mjs; do setsid -w timeout -k 10 900 node --test "$f"; done
+cd ../cli
+setsid -w timeout -k 10 900 node --test tests/stack-copy.test.mjs
+```
+
+Mutants I propose (my list, not read off the brief; each is meant to be killed by the named test, and none
+has been thrown; the kill claims are unverified until CLEAR):
+
+- M-a: `sees()` returns true for a file of another universe: killed by "find is bound to its universe".
+- M-b: the playground filter dropped: killed by "playground appears only when asked for".
+- M-c: the hybrid reads a source's playground: killed by "a hybrid gets a source playground file as null".
+- M-d: `links_next` always null: killed by the hub paging test.
+- M-e: the book filter lets `book: null` through: killed by the PRD 1.14 book test.
+
+### Status
+
+Built, not run. `node --check` has not been run on this round's files (no node before the CLEAR); the
+phase A pass above covered the earlier text only. The commit is local and waits for no gate under Sage's
+sage-2716 instruction, which allows git and docs work only; push and claim wait for Sage's go.
+
+## Round 3: rebase onto 45dca69f6, drift check, hash-pin grep (2026-10-23T18:53:43Z, sage-3576)
+
+Appended; nothing above is edited. Git only; nothing run, nothing pushed. Branch researcher/row216-r4 holds the
+one row 216 commit on 45dca69f6 (origin/refactor, 10-23). Earlier base: 48e450ce8 (row 253).
+
+- Rebase: clean. `git range-diff 48e450ce8..038089e5f 45dca69f6..researcher/row216-r4` shows the commit as `=`.
+- Landed in 48e450ce8..45dca69f6: 1175 files. Path overlap with this row's 7 paths: none. packages/library: no
+  landed file. packages/harness/src/tools.mjs (imported by query-fixture.mjs or the tests): not landed.
+- Hash-pin grep (the item 216 owed): 64-hex in packages/library: none. Positive control: 364 files in
+  packages/*/tests and scripts match 64-hex. Tests and scripts that name library files by path:
+  bus/tests/library.test.mjs and library-sync.test.mjs and bus/src/runtime.mjs import library/src/index.mjs;
+  business/src/business.mjs and its test import library/src/mapping.mjs (unchanged by this row);
+  cli/tests/stack-copy.test.mjs, stack-release-fixture.mjs:310 and stack-release.test.mjs:1991 copy
+  packages/library/src as a tree; scripts/stack-copy.sh:37 copies it; scripts/mosaic:41 runs survey.mjs. None pins
+  a hash of index.mjs, index-build.mjs or query.mjs.
+- bus/src/runtime.mjs landed changes after 48e450ce8 and uses libraryModule by named members (ensureMirror, SLOT,
+  readLibraryFile, libraryStatus, sync, LibraryError, SYNC_INTERVAL_MS) only; the landed diff touches none of them,
+  and this row's two new index.mjs exports (query and index build) are not iterated by any caller.
+- Gate additions for phase B: run bus library.test.mjs and library-sync.test.mjs whole (they import index.mjs), and
+  the cli stack-copy and stack-release tests that copy packages/library/src.
+
+## Round 4: phase B on 4e5d28ab2, two test fixes for r5 (2026-10-23T20:20:51Z, sage-3702, mos-1528)
+
+Appended; nothing above is edited.
+
+Phase B receipts on 4e5d28ab2 (researcher-r216-kit/out-b1): library whole 114 pass, 2 fail; bus library.test and
+library-sync.test 12 pass; cli 266 pass. The 3,000-file rebuild took 3807 ms (the test, with fixture setup, 4070 ms;
+`t.diagnostic` in index-build.test.mjs). No row 216 mutant was required or thrown in that round.
+
+The 2 library reds are test faults, not product faults. Both are placed as first-run reds in files this row adds
+(mos-1272); Mos ruled both fixes in mos-1528 and Sage relayed it in sage-3712.
+
+- R4: `packages/library/tests/index-build.test.mjs`, test "a different repo path, mapping or commit gets its own
+  index". Old: `writeFileSync(join(repo, 'Book One/Places/New.md'), …)` with no `Book One/Places` folder in FILES, so
+  the write failed with ENOENT. New: one `mkdirSync(join(repo, 'Book One/Places'), { recursive: true })` before the
+  write (import line gains `mkdirSync`). No assertion changes.
+- R5: `packages/library/tests/query.test.mjs`, test "a hybrid sees its sources canon, minus exclusions, and no
+  playground". The assertion sorts the actual paths and compared them to an unsorted literal, so the literal had
+  the wrong order (Characters before Chapters; Second World Characters before Chapters). New: only the expected
+  literal is reordered into sorted order. The `.sort()` on the actual side stays, and the assertion still checks
+  order. The set of seven paths is unchanged.
+- Product code: no edit.
+
+Reruns owed after the r5 commit (run on Sage's CLEAR, after the 283 gate): index-build.test.mjs whole,
+query.test.mjs whole, library whole, and the mutants those two files kill (M-a to M-e above). Results are appended
+below as a new entry.
+
+Run limit note: stack-release.test.mjs ran 644 s in the cli run. A per-file limit of 3 x 644 = 1932 s covers it.
+Sage's gates run cli as one whole-package `node --test` under 2100 s.
+
+Carry notes from Filbert's static check (doc only, no change in r5): N1 and N2 stay recorded as he gave them. The

+# Row 220: C2-10a, no raw session view (M7) and no raw Discord engine (M8)
+
+Phase A. No test, suite or mutant has been run. Sage opens the slot.
+
+- Owner: researcher seat (Haiku 5.5 subagent), dispatched by Sage under lead decision 129.
+- Reviewer: Filbert.
+- Branch: `researcher/row220`, from `origin/refactor` at d37210288.
+- Brief: `docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md`, C2-10a (line 495) and "Rules every row keeps".
+- Design: `agents/gosalyn/work/case2/DESIGN.md` on `origin/gosalyn/case2-design`, sections 5.1 (M7, M8), 7.6, 8 (row list).
+
+## Status
+
+| Item | State |
+|---|---|
+| M7 reader side (`conversation-not-listed`) | Built. Tests written, not run. |
+| M7 production wiring (the caller that passes `isCreative`) | Not built. Outside the file list, and it needs a ruling (question 1). |
+| M8 `discord check` and `discord run` refusals | Not built. `packages/discord/src/cli.mjs` is untouched. Blocked on question 1 and question 2. |
+
+Phase A is therefore partial. The row cannot pass its acceptance until Sage rules on the questions below.
+
+## Files
+
+- `packages/conversation/src/reader.mjs`: exports `NOT_LISTED`; `createReader` takes `isCreative` (default `() => false`); `catalogue()`, `open()` and `next()` hide a root for which it returns truthy.
+- `packages/conversation/tests/reader.test.mjs`: three new tests, inserted before the "unknown conversations" test.
+- `agents/researcher/work/queue-220/BUILD.md`: this file.
+
+Nothing else is changed. `node_modules` in the worktree is a symlink to the canonical checkout and is ignored by git.
+
+## Brief and design items mapped to tests
+
+| Item | Test |
+|---|---|
+| M7: a creative session file under the root isn't listed | "M7: a creative seat's session is not listed and won't open by id; an assistant seat still lists" |
+| M7: and won't open by id (`conversation-not-listed`) | same test; second check of the open refusal in "M7: a creative session already open refuses its next page once the root is hidden" |
+| M7: an assistant session still lists | same test (the `sage` seat is listed and opens with its text) |
+| M7: an already-issued cursor stops once the root is hidden (my addition; the design's "won't open" implies it) | "M7: a creative session already open refuses its next page once the root is hidden" |
+| M7: refused rows and the unsupported placeholder of a creative root are hidden too (my addition; the design hides "creative sessions", and a refused row or placeholder names one) | "M7: a creative root's refused files and its unsupported placeholder are hidden as well" |
+| Default behavior without `isCreative` is unchanged | the existing reader suite; the default predicate returns false |
+| M8: `discord check` / `discord run` refuse `discord-engine-not-allowed` on a library business, and a `mosaic-bus` binding with `tools` | none (not built, question 1) |
+| M8: a pi binding on a business without a library still checks clean | none (not built, question 1) |
+
+Every test's fixture text is `CREATIVE-MARKER` or a made-up assistant line. The M7 tests assert the marker is absent from the catalogue and refusal output.
+
+## Choices made in phase A
+
+- `isCreative(root)` is the reader's only input. The reader reads no business file. A truthy answer hides, so a doubtful answer fails closed. The predicate must depend on `root.seat` and `root.project` only, because a cursor is checked against the root object from an earlier listing.
+- Hidden check placed after the cursor's actor/purpose/conversation/branch checks in `next()`, and before the source is read.
+- `open()` checks hidden after the id resolves, so a creative id gets `conversation-not-listed`, and an unknown id still gets `unknown-conversation`.
+- `conversation-not-listed` is `reconcile: false`. The design names no reconcile flag. `unknown-conversation` uses true. Question 3.
+- The default predicate is `() => false`. Until a caller passes one, M7 does nothing. This is the open risk, and question 1 covers it.
+
+## Grep over `packages/*/tests` and `scripts/test-*.sh` (static, phase A)
+
+Changed path `packages/conversation/src/reader.mjs`:
+- `packages/conversation/tests/reader.test.mjs:14` imports `rootsFromSpecs, createReader, conversationId, cwdInProject, UNSUPPORTED_HARNESS`. It is the file under change.
+- `packages/control-board/tests/serve.test.mjs:26` imports `UNSUPPORTED_HARNESS`. That export is unchanged.
+- `packages/library/tests/sync.test.mjs:15` imports `packages/library/src/reader.mjs`, a different file. Not a hit.
+- `scripts/test-*.sh`: no reference to the conversation reader.
+- 64-hex pins naming this path: none. `packages/bus/tests/grant-migration.test.mjs:24` has a 64-hex value, but it is a DDL digest, not a pin on this path. That file matched only the word "reader" in a test title.
+
+Changed path `packages/conversation/tests/reader.test.mjs`:
+- No other test or script names this file. It runs through `packages/conversation`'s `node --test tests/`.
+- No 64-hex value in the file.
+
+Changed path `agents/researcher/work/queue-220/BUILD.md`: no pin.
+
+`node --check` passed on both changed `.mjs` files.
+
+## Phase B plan (not run)
+
+The reader test uses `os.tmpdir()`. Set `TMPDIR` to a scratch dir first, per the rule against `/tmp`.
+
+```
+export TMPDIR="$(mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/r220XXXXXX)"
+cd packages/conversation && node --test tests/reader.test.mjs
+cd packages/conversation && node --test tests/
+cd packages/discord && node --test tests/
+cd packages/control-board && node --test tests/serve.test.mjs
+```
+
+The first command is the touched file whole. The second and third are the conversation and discord suites whole, as the brief asks. The control-board serve test is not in the brief. It consumes `reader.mjs`, so I recommend it. Sage can drop it.
+
+## Questions for Sage
+
+1. **Business link (blocks M8 and the M7 wiring).** Neither rule can be built from this row's file list, because the inputs don't exist in the code:
+   - A reader root carries `seat` (the spec's `agent`) and `project` (the repo directory name). It has no business id. Roots come from control-board scan specs (`packages/control-board/src/scan.mjs`, `discoverRepoAgents`) and seat registrations. Neither carries a definition.
+   - A Discord binding has `seat` and no business key (`packages/discord/src/binding.mjs`, `TOP_KEYS`).
+   - Creative status lives only in the business file: `roles.<instance>.definition` in `CREATIVE_DEFINITIONS` (`packages/business/src/vocabulary.mjs:176`). A library project is `projects.<id>.kind === "library"` (`packages/business/src/business.mjs:243`).
+   - Creative thread sessions are stored at `<dataRoot>/threads/<business>/<thread>/session` (`packages/seat/src/session.mjs:59-64`), outside the `.pi/state` roots the board scans. M7 may therefore reach only creative seats that have a `.pi/state` session root. Please confirm.
+   - The design does not define the mapping from a seat to a business.
+
+   Recommendation: add a required `business` key to the binding, validated against `businesses/<id>.json`. The board builds `isCreative` from `loadBusiness(id)`: a root is creative when its seat is a `roles` key whose definition is in `CREATIVE_DEFINITIONS`, and the business has a library project. This needs file scope for `packages/discord/src/binding.mjs` and `cli.mjs` (M8), and `packages/control-board/src/serve.mjs` (M7 wiring). None of those is on this row's list. I need that scope amendment and the mapping ruling before I build M8 or the wiring.
+
+2. **M8 refusal code for a `mosaic-bus` binding with `tools`.** The design names `discord-engine-not-allowed` for the engine case and no code for the tools case. A new code goes to you first. My proposal is to reuse `discord-engine-not-allowed` with a message that names the tools key.
+
+3. **`reconcile` on `conversation-not-listed`.** I chose `false`. Confirm or change.
+
+4. **HTTP status for `conversation-not-listed`.** `REFUSAL_STATUS` in `packages/control-board/src/serve.mjs` has no entry, so the route returns 422. My proposal is 404, next to `unknown-conversation`. This needs that file on the scope list too.
+
+Phase A stops here. On your "slot clear" I will run the phase B commands above. I will not build M8 or the wiring until question 1 is answered.

+
+Phase A only. No node, npm, `node --check` or test run has happened in this round, and nothing is
+committed. Phase B (the suites) waits for the coordinator's "slot clear".
+
+- Owner: researcher seat (Haiku 5.5 subagent), dispatched by Sage under lead decision 129.
+- Reviewer: Filbert.
+- Branch: `researcher/row220-r2`, from `origin/refactor` at da9555ca2. The r1 cherry-pick 3fa833715 is
+  staged with `-n`.
+- Rulings: `agents/sage/work/queue-220/RULINGS.md` on origin/refactor (da9555ca2). Import-by-path is
+  followed: no export line in `packages/business/src/index.mjs`, and `packages/discord/src/binding.mjs`
+  is untouched.
+
+## Coordinator rulings, applied
+
+Round 1 answers (earlier packet): applied as before. Absent `businesses/` gives empty sets only on
+ENOENT; other failures throw. stack-copy test joins phase B. Webui fixtures pass `businessDir` (renamed `configDirectory` in round 2b below). Discord
+refusals exit 2.
+
+Round 2 rulings (coordinator message, this round):
+
+1. **Dangling symlink at `businesses/` refuses.** `loadSeatSets` calls `lstatSync(join(dir, "businesses"))`
+   first. Only an lstat ENOENT (nothing at the path) returns empty sets. If something is there and
+   `readdirSync` fails for any reason, including ENOENT through a dangling link, it throws `BusinessError`.
+   Test added: "a businesses symlink to a missing target throws; no empty set". The absent-directory test is kept.
+2. **Sets are read once per public reader call.** `createReader` takes `creativeCheck`, a factory. Each
+   `catalogue()`, `open()` and `next()` calls it once, then applies the returned predicate to every root.
+   A load failure refuses `conversation-business-unreadable` for the whole call. `serve.mjs` exports
+   `creativeCheck(dir = configDir())`, the factory, and `createServer` passes `creativeCheck(businessDir)`.
+   Test added: "one catalogue calls the creative check once, however many roots it lists". It counts factory
+   calls: 1 after `catalogue()`, 2 after one `open()`.
+3. **Phase B adds three test files:** `packages/webui/tests/tester-browser.test.mjs`,
+   `tester-cli.test.mjs` and `proof-cli.test.mjs`, run whole (they reach `fixture.mjs` through
+   `tester-fixture.mjs`). Phase B is 36 files: 33 plus these 3.
+4. **Scope additions approved** (coordinator round 2 ruling 4): `packages/control-board/tests/discord.test.mjs`
+   line 123 and the five webui test files (`fixture.mjs`, `history-fixture.mjs`, `relaunch.test.mjs`,
+   `return-flow.test.mjs`, `discord.test.mjs`). They stop tests reading the real config directory.
+5. **TMPDIR** for phase B is set by the coordinator under `/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp`. No code change.
+
+## Discord exit code
+
+Refusals from the library-seat check exit 2, the code the Discord CLI already uses for configuration and
+binding refusals.
+
+- `packages/discord/src/errors.mjs` line 2: `// exitCode follows docs/TOOLS.md: 1 operation failed, 2 invalid data or configuration, 3 refused by a brake (STOP or a held binding; a supervisor must not retry), 4 usage.`
+- `packages/discord/src/errors.mjs` line 5: `constructor(message, exitCode = 2, details = undefined)`.
+- Config refusal precedent: `packages/discord/src/binding.mjs` line 67, `throw new DiscordError(\`config.dataRoot must be an absolute path: ${path}\`);`. No explicit code, so exit 2.
+- `checkLibraryEngine` in `packages/discord/src/cli.mjs` lines 115 to 122. Each refusal passes `, 2)`:
+  `discord-business-unreadable` (115), `discord-engine-not-allowed` for a non-mosaic-bus engine (119),
+  and `discord-engine-not-allowed` for a mosaic-bus binding that declares `tools` (122).
+- `grep -n ", 3)" packages/discord/src/cli.mjs` finds nothing. `grep -rn "status, 3" packages/discord/tests`
+  finds only existing brake tests in recover.test.mjs and binding.test.mjs. Not changed.
+  `library-seat.test.mjs` asserts 2 on all three refusals.

+
+## Choices (for Filbert to check)
+
+1. **Absent versus unreadable `businesses/`.** Only nothing at the path reads as empty (lstat ENOENT). A
+   dangling symlink, a file, or an unreadable directory throws. Coordinator ruling 1.
+2. **Sets are read once per public call.** `creativeCheck()` runs once in each of `catalogue()`, `open()` and
+   `next()`. The returned predicate answers every root in that call. A catalogue with zero roots still
+   loads the sets once, so an unreadable business file refuses even an empty list. Coordinator ruling 2.
+3. **Behavior change, kept on coordinator ruling (round 2 follow-up): an unknown id or cursor loads the sets
+   first.** In `open()`, the check runs after `checkCaller` and before `resolveConversation`. In `next()`, it
+   runs at the start of the try. So with an unreadable business file, a known id and an unknown id both give
+   503 `conversation-business-unreadable`, where round 1 gave 404 `unknown-conversation` for the unknown id.
+   Checking the id first would give 503 for a hidden creative id and 404 for an unknown one, which reveals
+   whether the hidden id exists. Loading first answers every id the same way (fail closed). This reverses
+   round 1 choice 3. Test: `creative-hidden.test.mjs` "with an unreadable business file, a known and an unknown id both refuse with 503".
+4. **Discord refusals use the `code: message` form and exit 2.** Exit 3 is for brake refusals (STOP or a held
+   binding). A seat's engine or library membership is not a brake. The business CLI is not used as precedent.
+5. **The thread-store wall exists in part already.** `rootsFromSpecs` (`reader.mjs` line 44) drops any
+   sessions directory that is not `<project>/.pi/state/<seat>/sessions`. The M7 check is the second wall, for
+   roots built another way. The test checks both.
+
+## Static checks (read-only; no node)
+
+- **COPY_PATHS** (`scripts/stack-copy.sh` 29 to 41): `packages/business/src`, `packages/conversation/src`,
+  `packages/discord/src` and `packages/library/src` are present. `packages/control-board/src` is not. COPY_PATHS
+  is not changed.
+- **Stale names.** `grep -rn -E "isCreative|creativeRootPredicate" packages scripts` finds nothing after this round's edits.
+- **Board starts without `businessDir`.** Webui: all five direct starts pass it. Control board:
+  - `serve.test.mjs` has seven single-line starts without it (lines 402, 445, 464, 483, 509, 528, 907) and four
+    multi-line starts without it (114, 149, 229, 258). None of those tests reaches a conversation route.
+    Every conversation route call in the file (lines 1027 to 1171) follows a start that passes `businessDir`
+    (1006, 1075, 1124). Checked by line order.
+  - `creative-hidden.test.mjs` builds `creativeCheck(f.dir)` on its own scratch directory. No default is used.
+  - `discord.test.mjs` passes `businessDir` (line 123).
+- **Consumers of the two fixtures** (exact import strings, `from './fixture.mjs'`, `from './history-fixture.mjs'`):
+  - Direct `fixture.mjs` importers, 31 test files: board-held, browser-edge, browser, bus-browser, bus,
+    chat-browser, chat, discord, docs-browser, editor-browser, editor, instances-browser, limits-browser,
+    limits-route, messages, preview, proof, relaunch, return-flow, routes-browser, send-browser, send, serve,
+    settings-form, shell, sso-browser, sso, tester-listener, usage-browser, usage, views.
+  - `history-fixture.mjs` importers, 2 test files: conversation, history-return-flow.
+  - Total fixture consumers: 33. Plus `tester-browser`, `tester-cli` and `proof-cli` (through
+    `tester-fixture.mjs`, ruling 3): 36 files in phase B.
+

+```
+
+The webui line is 36 files, run whole. `history-fixture.mjs` and `tester-fixture.mjs` run through their
+consumers. No test has been run. The expectations above come from reading the code.
+
+## Open items
+
+a. Phase B checks the dangling-symlink test on this platform (lstat then readdir ENOENT must throw).
+b. Phase B checks the spy count (1 after catalogue, 2 after one open). A failure here means a public call
+   reads the factory more than once.
+c. Choice 3 is settled by the coordinator: keep 503 for unknown ids too. Phase B checks the new known-and-unknown test.
+d. The browser-based webui tests need a browser in this environment. A failure there would be environmental.
+   Phase B will show which.
+e. Nothing here has been executed. Phase B checks every expectation, including the unreadable-file test
+   (EACCES must throw), the root skip (uid 0 skips), and the webui consumers.
+
+## Resolved
+
+- Dangling symlink at `businesses/` (round 1 open item a, and round 1 question 1): refuses, ruling 1.
+- Tester and proof CLI tests (round 1 question 2): join phase B, ruling 3.
+- Per-root reads (round 1 open item b): replaced by one read per public call, ruling 2.
+
+## Rebase onto aca16404c, run limits, index export (2026-10-22, sage-2708)
+
+Added after the text above; nothing above is edited. "Nothing is committed" above was true when written.
+
+- Commit `6f656abac` on `researcher/row220-r2`, one commit, rebased from da9555ca2 onto origin/refactor
+  `aca16404c`. Row 253 has not landed; this rebases again onto 253's tip before any gate.
+- Drift check, da9555ca2..aca16404c against my 18 paths: one overlap, `packages/discord/src/cli.mjs`
+  (the processing-control imports, rows 264 and neighbours). The conflict was the import block only. I
+  kept both sides: the two landed `processing-control` imports and my `loadSeatSets` import. No landed hunk
+  is reverted. `checkLibraryEngine` and its call in `prepare()` merged without a marker.
+- Board starts: no test added since da9555ca2 starts the control board or reads a conversation route
+  without `businessDir`. `packages/webui/tests/shell.test.mjs` fakes the board and does not start it.
+- Two edits since the r2 text: (1) a missing space in `reader.mjs` `next()` (`held =typeof`) fixed;
+  (2) `packages/business/src/index.mjs` gets `export { loadSeatSets } from "./library-seats.mjs";`. The text
+  above says "no export line". RULINGS.md Q1 says the helper is "exported from the package index" and the
+  scope amendment lists "its export line", so the file wins and the export is added. The two callers still
+  import by path, so nothing needs the export today. Filbert: drop the line if you read the ruling otherwise.
+  The export adds no test; `node --check` has not been run on it (no node before the CLEAR).
+
+### Run limits (fixed before any run)
+
+Every node file runs as its own `setsid -w timeout -k 10 LIMIT node --test FILE`; nothing runs unbounded.
+
+- Node test files: LIMIT 900 s. I found no recorded per-file time for the conversation, discord, business,
+  control-board or webui files. 900 s is above the longest recorded whole-package run I know of (cli, 591 s,
+  row 281 BUILD.md "Runs" step 3), so it holds the 3x rule for any single file. The first run records each
+  file's time; if a file passes 300 s, the limit is re-derived from it before the next run.
+- Shell scripts: `timeout -k 10 LIMIT bash scripts/test-X.sh`, LIMIT = 3x the longest recorded run plus
+  120 s, taken from Megavolt's row 281 table (`agents/megavolt/work/queue-281/BUILD.md`, from Gander's
+  `agents/gander/work/queue-278/SHELL-LIMITS.json`). A script with no limit does not run.
+
+| Script | LIMIT | Script | LIMIT |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| test-auth | 126 s | test-land-work | 158 s |
+| test-conductor | 145 s | test-queue | 191 s |
+| test-config | 130 s | test-release | 157 s |
+| test-discord | 147 s | test-task | 231 s |
+| test-extension-package | 130 s | test-foundation | 240 s |
+
+Any timeout goes to Sage, then Mos, unplaced (mos-1275).
+
+## Round 2b: Filbert's early look and sage-2719 (2026-10-22T14:46Z)
+
+Added after the text above; nothing above is edited. Where earlier text says `businessDir`, the parameter is
+now `configDirectory` (below). Second commit on `researcher/row220-r2`, on top of ea6dc9eff. Not pushed, not
+run; `node --check` has not been run on any of these files (no node before the CLEAR).
+
+Rulings applied (sage-2719): Q1 keep the index export. C1, C2 and the fixture scope are changes.
+
+### Fixture scope: the parameter is a config directory
+
+`createServer` took `businessDir`, but `creativeCheck(dir)` reads `<dir>/businesses`, so every fixture that
+passed `join(root, 'businesses')` made the reader look in `<root>/businesses/businesses`. That read nothing
+(ENOENT, empty sets): isolation from the real config held by accident. Now:
+
+- `createServer({ configDirectory = configDir() })` in `serve.mjs`. The parameter is not named `configDir`
+  because the import of that name is the default's source.
+- Every fixture passes the config directory it owns: `configDirectory: root` in the five webui files,
+  `f.root` in `control-board/tests/discord.test.mjs`, and `f.configDirectory` in `serve.test.mjs`.
+  `conversationFixture()` and `replyFixture()` both return `configDirectory: root`. The seven reply starts
+  that passed `f.businessDir` (undefined, falling back to the real `configDir()`) now pass a real value.
+- The dead `mkdirSync(join(root, 'businesses'))` lines in the five webui fixtures and in `serve.test.mjs`
+  are removed. So is the one in `discord/tests/helpers.mjs` `makeDeployment`, whose comment said "a missing
+  one refuses"; that was false (lstat ENOENT gives empty sets). The comment now says nothing there means no
+  library seat. Tests that need a `businesses/` directory create it: `writeJson` does, and the two
+  unreadable-file tests in `library-seat.test.mjs` call `mkdirSync` themselves.
+- Proof that the fixture's own business file is the one read: the new default-reader test (C2) hides `bean`
+  and shows `pm`, and nothing else in that fixture says which is which.
+
+### C1: M8 on `run`
+
+`library-seat.test.mjs` gains three `run` tests: a raw engine, a mosaic-bus binding with `tools`, and an
+unreadable business file. Each asserts exit 2 and the code in stderr, and that `s.d.journalDir` does not
+exist (`ensureJournal` comes after `prepare()` in `run`, so nothing was started). `run()` calls
+`initializeControl(dataRoot)` first, because `run` stops at `assertProcessing` before `prepare()`, as the
+STOP test in `binding.test.mjs:203` does. There is no `run` test for a clean seat: that would go on to the
+network.
+
+### C2: the default reader
+
+`creative-hidden.test.mjs`, "the board's default reader hides a creative seat's session from the listing and
+the detail route". It calls `startServer` with no `conversationReader`, `configDirectory: f.dir`, a `bean`
+session and a `pm` session on disk, and drives HTTP: the listing holds `pm` only; bean's detail is 404
+`conversation-not-listed`; pm's detail is 200; after a broken business file lands the listing is 503
+`conversation-business-unreadable`.
+
+### Mutants to throw (CLEAR only; none thrown; the kill claims are unverified)
+
+| Id | Mutation | Meant to be killed by |
+|---|---|---|
+| M7-w | delete `creativeCheck: creativeCheck(configDirectory),` in `createServer` (`serve.mjs`) | the default-reader test, first assertion (the listing shows `bean`) |
+| M7-c | `hiddenCheck()` in `reader.mjs` open() returns `() => false` | reader.test "hides the creative seat" and the `creative-hidden` 404 asserts |
+| M7-o | `creativeCheck` catch returns an empty set instead of throwing | the 503 asserts in `creative-hidden` |
+| M8-p | delete `checkLibraryEngine(...)` in `prepare()` | the three `check` refusals and the three `run` refusals; one mutant covers both verbs because they share `prepare()` |
+| M8-e | `loadSeatSets` returns empty sets on any lstat error | `library-seats` ENOENT-vs-file tests |
+
+### `refusalResponse` and `catalogue()`'s refusal (past "predicate wiring and REFUSAL_STATUS only")
+
+Why it is needed: the reader's `catalogue()` now returns a refusal when the business check throws (M7: no
+partial list), and `conversationResponse` had no way to turn a catalogue refusal into a status. `open` and
+`next` already built `{ status: REFUSAL_STATUS[code] ?? 422, body: { error, refusal: { code, reconcile } } }`
+inline; that expression moved, character for character, into `refusalResponse(out)` so the listing could
+use it too.
+
+No existing route's status or body changes:
+
+- `open` and `next` refusals: the same expression, now behind a function. `git diff aca16404c..HEAD --
+  packages/control-board/src/serve.mjs` shows the line as a move.
+- `/api/conversations` success: `{ status: 200, body: listing }` where `listing` is what the route returned
+  before. `catalogue()` returned `ok: true` on every path before this row, so the new branch is reached only
+  by the business refusal.
+- The "no parameters are accepted" 400 is untouched.
+
+Phase B runs `serve.test.mjs`, `discord.test.mjs` and the conversation route tests whole, so Filbert can
+check this statement against a green run.
+
+### Smaller changes from the early look
+
+- Spy test: one `next()` call adds a third `creativeCheck` count (`reader.test.mjs`). The catalogue assert
+  also checks `refusedRoots` is empty, in the same test and in the thread-store test in `creative-hidden`.
+- `library-seats.test.mjs` mode-000 test pins `BusinessError` and its message (`must be a regular,
+  non-symbolic-link file`, from `readJsonFile`'s open failure).
+- "passes the engine rule" now asserts exit 0 and `offline check passed`. The expectation is unverified: if
+  a mosaic-bus binding fails some other offline check, that is a first-run red to place (mos-1272).
+
+### Carried, not changed here
+
+- `conversation/src/controller.mjs:176` builds a reader with no `creativeCheck`. No `src` file imports it
+  today; a live wiring must pass the check. Raised for Sage.
+- `discord run` reads the business file once at start. `engine` and `tools` are FIXED_KEYS, so only a
+  business-file change while a connector runs goes unseen until the next start.
+- `creative-hidden` and `library-seats` use the repo `roles/` as the default `rolesDir`.
+
+### Gate additions
+
+Phase B list is unchanged: the same suites run whole, plus the files above are inside them. The drift check
+against `aca16404c..refactor`, including files these tests copy or read, repeats after the rebase onto 253.
+
+## Round 2c: refusalResponse statement corrected from the diff, controller.mjs follow-up (2026-10-22T14:55Z, sage-2729)
+
+Appended after Round 2b; nothing above is edited. This replaces Round 2b's refusalResponse statement, which I
+wrote from memory of the code. Source: `git diff aca16404c HEAD -- packages/control-board/src/serve.mjs` and
+`packages/conversation/src/reader.mjs`, read in full. No test has run.
+
+### What the diff shows in serve.mjs
+
+- `open` and `next` refusal: the object expression `{ status: REFUSAL_STATUS[out.refusal.code] ?? 422, body: {
+  error: out.refusal.message, refusal: { code, reconcile } } }` moved unchanged into `refusalResponse(out)`.
+  The two call sites reach it by `return refusalResponse(out)`. Status and body are identical for every code
+  that reached it before.
+- `REFUSAL_STATUS` gains two keys, `conversation-not-listed` (404) and `conversation-business-unreadable`
+  (503). Before, those codes did not exist, so no earlier response used them or changes. Every other key is
+  untouched.
+- `/api/conversations` with a query string: the 400 `no parameters are accepted` line is untouched.
+- `/api/conversations` success: before, `{ status: 200, body: reader.catalogue() }`; now the same object
+  when `listing.ok` (it is the same `listing`), so the 200 body is unchanged.
+- The one new response shape: `/api/conversations` can return a refusal (503 or the refusal's status) when
+  the business check throws. That is the M7 behaviour, not a change to an existing route's response.
+
+### What the diff shows in reader.mjs, past my Round 2b statement
+
+`catalogue()` is now wrapped in `try { ... } catch (err) { return refuse(err); }`. `refuse` returns a refusal
+object for a `Refusal` and rethrows anything else (`reader.mjs:352-355`). So a non-Refusal error still
+propagates as before. A `Refusal` escaping the loop body would now come back as `{ ok: false }` where it
+used to throw. The loop already catches `Refusal` from `listSessionFiles` and from `summarize`, so the only
+`Refusal` that newly reaches the wrapper is the hidden check's. I have not confirmed that `listRoots()`
+(`rootsFromSpecs`, `loadRegistrations`) never throws a `Refusal`; if it does, that call now returns a
+refusal. Filbert's round check should read `rootsFromSpecs` for `Refusal` throws.
+
+Round 2b said the old `catalogue()` "returned ok: true on every path". True for returns; it could throw.
+
+### Named follow-up for DEFERRED (Sage lands it with 220; it does not block 220)
+
+`packages/conversation/src/controller.mjs:176` builds a reader with no `creativeCheck`. No `src` file imports
+`controller.mjs` today, so no live path leaks. Whoever first wires `controller.mjs` live must pass
+`creativeCheck` (`creativeCheck(configDirectory)` from `control-board/src/serve.mjs`, or the reader's own
+equivalent) and add a test that a creative seat's sessions stay hidden through that path.
+
+## Round 2d: can listRoots() throw a Refusal into catalogue()? No (2026-10-22T14:53Z, sage-2730)
+
+Appended after Round 2c; closes the question Round 2c left open. Static read on 9a9f6dd54; nothing run.
+Filbert reached the same answer independently (filbert-220-r2c-static).
+
+`catalogue()` calls `listRoots()` inside the new `try`. In production that is `serve.mjs:261`,
+`roots: () => rootsFromSpecs(specs, loadRegistrations(seatsDir).registrations)`. The only `Refusal` class
+the reader catches is the one in `conversation/src/safe-fs.mjs:21`.
+
+- `rootsFromSpecs` (`conversation/src/reader.mjs:38-71`) calls `resolve`, `join`, `basename`, `Array.find`,
+  `toTime` and `samePath`, and constructs no `Refusal`.
+  - `toTime` (`conversation/src/pi.mjs:21-26`) returns a value or null and has no throw.
+  - `samePath` (`seat/src/seat.mjs:261-269`) wraps `realpathSync` in try/catch and returns false.
+- `loadRegistrations` (`control-board/src/scan.mjs:272-292`) catches `SeatError` and rethrows anything
+  else. It calls `readRegistration` (`seat/src/seat.mjs:200-216`), which throws `SeatError` only.
+- `grep -n "Refusal\|refuse(" packages/control-board/src/scan.mjs packages/seat/src/seat.mjs` finds
+  nothing, and neither file imports `safe-fs.mjs` (checked with `grep -n "^import"`). A `Refusal` cannot
+  originate in either.
+- Inside the loop, `listSessionFiles` is caught at `reader.mjs` (the `catch (err)` that rethrows
+  non-Refusals) and `summarize` turns an `openSessionFile` Refusal into a `denied` row.
+
+So the only `Refusal` that reaches the new catch is the hidden check's `conversation-business-unreadable`.
+Any other error still throws through `refuse()` (`reader.mjs:352-355`) exactly as before.
+
+Therefore `/api/conversations` has no status change for a path that existed before this row: the old
+throw paths are unreachable by a `Refusal`. The one new response is the business refusal, already pinned by
+the creative-hidden 503 assertion and the reader catalogue-refusal test. No extra test is added.
+
+The exception is an injected `roots` function that throws a `Refusal` itself; only a test could pass one,
+and none does.
+
+Time correction (2026-10-22T14:51:01Z): the heading times of Round 2c (14:55Z) and Round 2d (14:53Z) were written before I read the clock. The commits were made at 14:49:40Z (9a9f6dd54) and 14:50:52Z (176ac262e). The heading of Round 2b (14:46Z) is also an estimate; its commit e4a204836 was made before 14:47:53Z.
+
+## Round 4: rebase onto 45dca69f6, drift check (2026-10-23T18:53:43Z, sage-3576)
+
+Appended; nothing above is edited. Git only; nothing run, nothing pushed. Branch researcher/row220-r4 holds the
+five row 220 commits on 45dca69f6 (origin/refactor, 10-23). Earlier base: 48e450ce8 (row 253).
+
+- Rebase: clean. `git range-diff 48e450ce8..3ef6da90d 45dca69f6..researcher/row220-r4` shows all five commits as `=`,
+  so no patch changed.
+- Landed in 48e450ce8..45dca69f6: 1175 files (47 packages/bus, 32 webui, 29 cli, 10 plugins, 9 seat, 4 harness,
+  2 tasks, 7 scripts, BUILD-LOG.md, the rest agents/ and docs/).
+- Path overlap with this row's 19 paths: none.
+- Landed files in the packages these tests touch: webui (src/serve.mjs, src/cli.mjs, chat and bus files,
+  tests). Row 220's webui test changes are five fixtures that start the control-board server with
+  `configDirectory: root` and start the webui server with only `{ port, board }`; no landed webui file passes or reads
+  configDirectory. The landed webui tests are not in this row's change set, but a whole webui run covers them.
+  No landed file in control-board, conversation, discord or business.
+- Other users of the touched symbols (git grep on the r4 tree for createReader, rootsFromSpecs, creativeCheck,
+  configDirectory, businessDir, loadSeatSets, checkLibraryEngine, conversationReader outside this diff):
+  only conversation/src/controller.mjs:173-176 (the follow-up named in Round 2c) and the conversation README.
+- Hash pins: grep for 64-hex in packages/*/tests and scripts finds 364 files (positive control), and none pins a
+  row 220 source file by hash. Path-string hits for packages/discord/src/cli.mjs (copy-service.test.mjs,
+  scripts/test-discord.sh, discord-service.sh) are paths, not hashes.
+- Added to the gate list: `packages/discord/tests/helpers.mjs` is imported by 19 discord test files, and this row
+  removed its empty `businesses` mkdir. Phase B must run the discord package whole (and `scripts/test-discord.sh`),
+  not only library-seat.test.mjs.
+
+## Round 5: phase B on 2bb146b28, R1 and R2 fixes (mos-1528) (2026-10-23T20:21:39Z, sage-3712)
+
+Appended; nothing above is edited. The tree is 2bb146b28 plus the commits of branch researcher/row220-r5.
+
+Phase B receipts on 2bb146b28 (researcher-r220-kit out-b1, out-b2, out-b3, out-mut, out-npm):
+
+- discord 20 files, 200 pass; conversation 7 files, 187 pass; scripts/test-discord.sh rc=0, 82 passed.
+- control-board 7 files, 128 pass, 1 fail (serve.test.mjs, R2 below); business 26 files, 237 pass, 1 fail
+  (library-seats.test.mjs, R1 below).
+- webui: first run 409 pass, 1 fail (editor-provenance.test.mjs). Cause: the esbuild in the worktree's
+  node_modules resolved to the root copy (0.28.1) and not to packages/webui's own pin. Fix (R3, no repo change):
+  `cd packages/webui && npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund` in the worktree, output in out-npm/npm-ci.txt;
+  esbuild is then 0.28.2. Rerun of all 65 webui files whole with MOSAIC_REQUIRE_EDITOR_BUILD=1: 65 of 65 rc=0, 410
+  pass, 0 fail.
+
+Fixes (both are test-only; src/ is unchanged from 2bb146b28; Mos ruled both in mos-1528):
+
+- R1, `packages/business/tests/library-seats.test.mjs`, test "M7/M8: a business file that can't be read throws; no
+  empty set". The fixture registers `rmSync(root)` as a `t.after` hook before the test registers its
+  `chmodSync(file, 0o600)` restore, so on the way out the restore found the file already removed and threw ENOENT.
+  Old: `t.after(() => chmodSync(file, 0o600));`. New: the same call inside try/catch that rethrows anything but
+  ENOENT. The assertion is unchanged.
+- R2 (option A, mos-1528), `packages/control-board/tests/serve.test.mjs:1073`, test "conversation routes (F16): a
+  foreign Host, a wrong port and a cross-origin Origin get 403 before the reader runs, with no CORS headers".
+  Failure: the same-origin request at the end reached the route, the spy's `catalogue` returned the number
+  `calls.push(...)` gives (1), and 220's `conversationResponse` reads `listing.ok`, so `refusalResponse(1)` threw on
+  `out.refusal.code` and the route answered 500. Old text:
+  `const spy = { catalogue: () => calls.push("catalogue"), open: () => calls.push("open"), next: () => calls.push("next") };`
+  New text: `catalogue` records the call, then returns `{ ok: true, conversations: [], refusedRoots: [] }`; `open` and
+  `next` are unchanged (the test never reaches them with a passing request). The assertions are unchanged: 200 for the
+  same-origin request and `calls` equal to `["catalogue"]`. serve.mjs stays as 220 has it.
+  Added test, same file before "every refusal code the reader can raise has an HTTP status": a reader whose
+  `catalogue()` returns `{ ok: false, refusal }` gets `conversation-business-unreadable`'s status (503) and the body
+  `{ error, refusal: { code, reconcile } }`. No such route test existed; the earlier claim that no route's status or
+  body changed was wrong for a reader that returns a bare value, which the old spy did.
+
+Mutants thrown on 2bb146b28 (out-mut; the base run for library-seats was red from R1, so a kill by that file is not
+shown there):
+
+| Mutant | Result |
+| --- | --- |
+| M7-w | killed by control-board creative-hidden ("the board's default reader hides a creative seat's session…") |
+| M7-c | killed: creative-hidden 4 fail, conversation reader 3 fail |
+| M7-o | killed: creative-hidden 4 fail |
+| M8-p | killed: discord library-seat 6 fail |
+| M8-e | SURVIVED: no test failed other than the base red in library-seats; handled in the next entry |
+
+Run limit: stack-release.test.mjs took 644 s. The per-file limit is 3 x 644 = 1932 s. Sage's gates run cli whole
+under 2100 s.
+
+Reruns owed after r5 (run on Sage's CLEAR): the touched files whole (library-seats, serve, and the M8-e test),
+control-board whole, business whole, and every 220 mutant, M8-e included. Results are appended as a new entry.
+
+## Round 5b: correction of the M8-e kill claim, and the test that kills it (2026-10-23T20:21:52Z, sage-3715)
+
+Appended; nothing above is edited. This is a correction to the "Mutants to throw" table in this file (the M8-e
+row, around line 270), which says M8-e, "`loadSeatSets` returns empty sets on any lstat error", is killed by the
+`library-seats` ENOENT-vs-file tests. That claim is wrong. M8-e changes the lstat catch to
+`return { librarySeats: new Set(), creativeSeats: new Set() };` for every error code, so only a test that makes lstat
+fail with a code other than ENOENT can kill it. The file-as-businesses test and the dangling-symlink test I named
+make lstat succeed or fail with ENOENT, never another code, so they pass under M8-e. Phase B on 2bb146b28 showed
+the mutant surviving (out-mut, M8-e: no failure besides the base red).
+
+Added in this commit, `packages/business/tests/library-seats.test.mjs`: "M7/M8: a config directory under a regular
+file throws (lstat fails with ENOTDIR); no empty set". The config path is a regular file, so
+`lstat(<file>/businesses)` fails with ENOTDIR; the test expects `BusinessError` matching "cannot list businesses".
+It is a new test in this row's own file, in its own commit, and droppable without touching R1 or R2.

+# Violet
+
+Builder seat, Codex gpt-6.1-sol, started by Mos under Q245 (mos-1506). Owns row 297 (the GitHub grant method, handed over from Bushroot).
+
+No launcher in this directory. The seat runs as a T3 thread (thread 6229eb89) and works in its own worktree. It has no
+credentials of its own; it pushes only its own `violet/*` branches through the repository credential helper (mos-0981),
+never `refactor`, `main` or another seat's branch. Claude seats orchestrate and review (Q245). Registered by Sage on
+2026-10-23 so the queue can name the seat as row owner (store.mjs isSeatDir).

+
 Precheck lines: none. Root's checkout at `<sha>` and the stack's user's clone: precheck line missing.
 After install, `stack-copy.sh check --units external` reads the copy the units run.
 
+The stack's user's `scripts/case2-install.sh` (C2-13b, design 10 step 2b) makes the first copy with
+`stack-copy.sh copy <sha>`. The copy runs `npm ci` from `package-lock.json`, which installs the pinned
+harness, so the host needs to reach the npm registry during the install. The install runs no
+`release.sh package` or `activate`.

 `/etc/mosaic-stack/dev.args` holds the `case2-unit.sh` arguments, one per line, with the serve flags after a
-line holding `--`. I2's install writes it; ops-01 doesn't write it by hand. It must be root's, with no group
+line holding `--`. Root writes it at the unit render, from the values the go names. The stack's user's
+install never writes it: that user can't write `/etc`, and root reads nothing that user wrote. It must be root's, with no group
 or other write (`chmod 0644` or tighter). Before `--` it takes only `--user`, `--home`, `--business`,
 `--copy` (exactly once), `--node`, `--profile`, `--claude` and `--pm`. `stack-upgrade.sh` changes only the
 `--copy` line, and only after confirm passes.

+# Case 1 factory business file for .53 (#414 stage 2)
+
+Written 2026-10-23 by Sage for ops-01's stage-2 request (ops-0277, mos-1551, sage-3807).
+
+## Brief: the Case 1 factory business file
+
+**Why.** The .53 factory install (#414) runs `scripts/case2-install.sh --business mosaic-stack
+--business-file FILE --commit SHA --profile factory`. No Case 1 business file is committed. Row 195 left the
+role set to the go (agents/darkwing/work/queue-195/DESIGN.md:141 at b65014647). ops-01 needs FILE as a path
+at a commit.
+
+**What to write.** One business document, `docs/guides/case1-business.mosaic-stack.json`, and one test that
+loads it.
+
+The file's terms come from these sources. Read each one before writing.
+- Id `mosaic-stack` (DESIGN.md section 7).
+- `vars` has `bus.tester` true. The file has no `library` key and no library project
+  (case2-install.sh:106-108; case2-precheck.sh's factory profile, `profile-library-business`).
+- The smallest role set that passes Case 1: a chief of staff from `roles/chief-of-staff.json` with
+  `vars.harness` set to the claude harness, and `launch.by` naming it (case1-accept.sh F3 and F7, :545-559;
+  packages/business/src/business.mjs:123 and :177-199). Add no other role unless the loader or the Case 1
+  checks refuse without it. If one is needed, say which check needs it in BUILD.md.
+- Claude only. No pi harness and no pi role (P19 #383, mos-0865).
+- No credential value anywhere. A credential entry, if the loader needs one, is a file path under the
+  install's home, and BUILD.md says which file the operator creates. The chief holds no credential and no
+  tracker bot (packages/business/tests/helpers.mjs:71-72).
+- `human`, project roots and any other host path use the .53 install's values from DESIGN.md (the `mosaic`
+  user and its home). Where DESIGN.md doesn't give a value, stop and ask me; don't guess a host path.
+
+**Test.** A new test file, packages/business/tests/case1-business-file.test.mjs, that:
+1. loads the committed file through the business loader with a temporary config dir and passes;
+2. runs case2-install.sh's factory-profile checks on it (the same input path the install uses) and passes;
+3. fails when `bus.tester` is false and when a `library` key is added, with the install's refusal codes.
+
+No old test changes. If one seems needed, stop and ask me (mos-1272).
+
+**Gate.** The new test file whole, then packages/business and packages/cli suites whole, on my CLEAR only.
+One mutant: flip `bus.tester` in the committed file and show the test red, then restore and check bytes.
+
+**Boundaries.** No host action, no .53 contact, no credential reads, no queue writes, no push to refactor.
+Work in a new worktree off refactor, on branch `<seat>/row323`. Push the branch and report the tip,
+base and manifest to Sage. Record design choices in agents/<seat>/work/queue-323/BUILD.md.
+
+**Acceptance.** The file at a landed commit loads and passes the factory checks. ops-01 can pass its path to
+case2-install.sh unchanged.

+# Brief: a GitHub consumer for row 297's protected token callback
+
+Sage, 2026-10-23, filed for Mos (mos-1525). Post-10-27.
+
+## Brief: a GitHub consumer for Broker.githubWithToken
+
+Row 297 builds the GitHub grant method and stops at the trusted host API
+`Broker.githubWithToken(business, agent, fn)` in `packages/bus/src/broker.mjs`.
+Nothing calls it yet: no git helper, mirror push or publication uses a GitHub
+token (violet BUILD.md, "Consumer gap for Sage's follow-up row").
+
+This row adds the first consumer.
+
+- It gets the token only through `githubWithToken`. It never reads the
+  protected generation files, and never routes GitHub through the generic
+  Gitea Credentials path, which has calendar-day dates and fork-specific
+  identity.
+- It honors the callback's cancellation signal. The signal aborts on revoke and
+  at the token safety deadline, so the consumer stops work and drops the token
+  when it fires. No operation is retried with a token past its expiry.
+- No socket verb returns a token, and no consumer output, log or run record
+  holds one.
+
+Design comes first, with the consumer named (a git helper or mirror push), for
+Dewey's review. Tests cover: a revoke mid-call aborts the consumer; a call
+straddling the safety deadline aborts; an expired grant refuses before any
+network call; and no token text appears in output or the store.
+
+Gate: Dewey approves the design and the manifest. The touched suites and every
+`scripts/test-*.sh` are green on Sage's gate, and mutants that drop the signal
+check or the expiry check are killed. Starts after row 297 is done.

+# Brief: Case 1/2 host fixes for the 433 P1 rerun
+
+Sage, 2026-10-23, filed for Mos (mos-1532). Issue #1816, Vikunja 614. On the 10-27 path.
+
+## Brief: hostcheck item 5, bundle verify, case2-unit @, stack-copy cwd
+
+ops-01 found two defects in the 433 P1 Run A on VM 1013 (ops-0256). Row 240 (c515273db) introduced the first one.
+
+1. `scripts/case1-hostcheck.sh:117` compares `dpkg-statoverride --list /usr/bin/bwrap` to the literal
+   `root mosaic 0750 /usr/bin/bwrap`. dpkg 1.22.6 on Ubuntu 24.04 prints `750`, so item 5 FAILs on every
+   correctly built host. The apt hook and mosaic-hostcheck.service then close bwrap and write DRIFT. The fake
+   at `packages/cli/tests/case1-hostcheck.test.mjs:73` writes `0750`, so the suite missed it.
+2. `docs/guides/host-run-sheet.md:192` and `:209` run `git bundle verify` outside a repository, which fails on
+   a fresh host.
+
+The fix:
+- Item 5 accepts `750` and `0750` as the same mode for the statoverride line. Owner, group and path stay exact,
+  and every other mode still fails. The stat check at :118 is unchanged.
+- The run sheet verifies the bundle inside an empty bare scratch repo, as `scripts/stack-copy.sh:91-93` does.
+  A failure there prints a FAIL line and does not `exit` the interactive root shell (Morgana N1, sage-3743).
+
+Tests are append-only blocks in case1-hostcheck.test.mjs (mos-1272 pre-approved by Mos: 0 lines deleted, the :73
+fake unchanged). They cover: a `750` statoverride passes; `0750` still passes; `755`, `0755`, `7500`, `075`, `00750`, a tab
+or doubled space, and a wrong owner or group fail. Any other change to an existing test goes to Mos first.
+
+Scope add (mos-1534):
+3. F3: `scripts/case2-unit.sh:62` plain() rejects `@`, so the run sheet's required `--claude` path
+   (host-run-sheet.md:85-89, `@anthropic-ai`) refuses on every host (ops-0258, section 10). plain() accepts `@`.
+   The :61 comment doesn't list it as unsafe, so no requirement changes.
+4. F4: `scripts/stack-copy.sh` fails when run as mosaic from a cwd mosaic can't read: the sheet's `sudo -u mosaic`
+   lines and stack-upgrade.sh AS_USER at :154 and :293. It works from any cwd.
+Specs and test terms are in mos-1534. Mos pre-approved append-only test blocks in case2-unit.test.mjs under mos-1272.
+One new N carries F1 to F4 for the #433 rerun.
+
+Owner Gladstone. Reviewer Morgana. Gate: Morgana approves. Mutants are killed: dropping the `750` form, widening the
+match to any mode, rejecting `@` again in plain(), and the F4 cwd fix reverted. The touched test files run whole, and Sage's full landing gate runs every
+package suite and every `scripts/test-*.sh`. After landing, Mos sends ops-01 the new N for a full 433 P1 rerun.
+No hostcheck install on .53 or .54 until it lands.
+
+Scope add (mos-1536, ops-0260):
+5. F5: on a host that follows the run sheet, `mosaic-bus@<business>` exits 3 because nothing writes
+   `<dataRoot>/notify/<business>/notify.json` (bus cli.mjs:104-122 requires it, README :876-892), and case2-precheck
+   has no line for it, so it passed with the bus down. The run sheet gains a step that writes binding `null` as the
+   default, and case2-precheck gains a notify line with tests. Install does not write the file: the README wants an
+   explicit decision. A named binding for .53 is a later per-host choice that needs Mos's go. Spec in mos-1536.
+Gate adds a mutant: the precheck notify line removed or passing on a missing file. #1816 carries F1 to F5.
+
+Scope add (mos-1537, ops-0261):
+- F5 fixture: Mos OK under mos-1272 for the host(t) notify fixture in case2-unit.test.mjs and the world(t) one in
+  case2-install.test.mjs (a 0700 notify/acme dir and a null notify.json, with no assertion changed or deleted).
+  Conditions: the negative F5 tests build their host without the file; one append-only install test shows
+  notify.json bytes and mode are unchanged after install; the fixture lines are their own follow-up commit.
+- Section 9a creates both `notify/` and `notify/<business>` at 0700 (ops-0261 measured a 755 parent).
+6. F6: sheet :235 runs `stack-copy.sh check`, which requires `$HOME/.npm-global/bin/mosaic` (stack-copy.sh:160-173).
+   Nothing creates it: install runs only `copy` (:178), bootstrap has no .npm-global, and the sheet has no wrapper
+   step. The sheet gains a step after install: as mosaic from cwd `/`, create the bin dir, then run
+   `wrapper <sha> --create`, naming the Mos gate (stack-copy.sh:3). No requirement change. #1816 carries F1 to F6.
+
+
+## Brief: F7, the wrapper step's PATH and umask under sudo
+
+Row: F7 for the 433 P1 rerun (ops-0271, mos-1544). Docs only. Builder: a Codex thread. Reviewer: a separate Codex
+thread (mos-1542). It can land with any row and is not N+1.
+
+Defect, from ops-01 on 094124b4e: the run sheet's wrapper step (`docs/guides/host-run-sheet.md` :249-253) fails
+rc=127 `node: command not found`. `sudo -u mosaic -H /bin/sh` runs under sudo's `secure_path`, which drops
+`/opt/mosaic-stack/node-<v>/bin`, and `scripts/stack-copy.sh wrapper` reaches `scripts/instance.sh:78`, which calls
+bare `node`. The heredoc also sets no umask, so `$HOME/.npm-global/bin` came out 0775.
+
+Change, inside the `MOSAIC_WRAPPER` heredoc only:
+
+1. Before the `mkdir`, add `umask 077`, the same way the notify step does (:325).
+2. Before the `mkdir`, add `PATH=/opt/mosaic-stack/node-<v>/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin; export PATH`, using the
+   sheet's own PATH form (:69).
+3. Add one sentence above the block: the step runs under sudo's `secure_path`, so it sets its own PATH and umask.
+
+Nothing else in the sheet changes, and no script changes. ops-01 is testing this exact form on 1013 (mos-1544).
+
+Acceptance:
+
+- The heredoc has `umask 077` and the PATH line before `mkdir`, with `<v>` written the same as the sheet's other
+  node paths.
+- `git grep -n 'host-run-sheet' -- 'packages/*/tests/*' 'scripts/test-*.sh'` shows no test that reads the changed
+  lines (positive control: a grep for a path a test does read). If a test does read them, stop and report.
+- BUILD.md under `agents/<seat>/work/queue-<row>/` records the diff and the grep.
+
+F10, added to this row (ops-0274, mos-1548). Both are confirmed at 094124b4e.
+
+- After a first install, the sheet has no `stack-release.sh adopt <business> --instance <i> --units external` step,
+  so the first activate refuses `no-pointer` (`scripts/stack-release.sh:1297`, "no $POINTER; run adopt first"). Add
+  that step where the sheet first moves from install to activate or upgrade. It runs on Mos's go, and Jason or Mos runs
+  it (`stack-release.sh:14`).
+- The sheet doesn't say that the first `stack-upgrade.sh upgrade` after adopt needs `--no-rehearsal`. Adopt writes no
+  backup, so without the flag the upgrade refuses `no-backup` (`scripts/stack-upgrade.sh:324-325`), and with the flag
+  on a stack that has a backup it refuses `rehearsal-required`. Say so next to the upgrade command (sheet :210-223):
+  only the first upgrade after adopt takes `--no-rehearsal`.
+
+ops-01 is testing both on 1013 (mos-1548). F10 is also docs only. The grep in the acceptance list covers its lines too,
+and BUILD.md records them.
+
+F11, added to this row (ops-0275, mos-1549): wait for healthz 200 before the precheck. On 1013 a precheck run 1 s
+after unit start found no `bus.sqlite` yet. Section 10 (Console start) and the `--library-status` row in section 9
+(":306, after the bus is up") get one instruction: after a unit start, wait until
+`curl -fsS -o /dev/null http://127.0.0.1:<port>/healthz` succeeds (HTTP 200) before running `case2-precheck.sh`.
+Use the same loopback form as `scripts/case1-accept.sh:458`, with a bounded retry. F11 is docs only, and the
+acceptance grep covers its lines too.
+
+## Brief: F8 and F9, the library persona import runs without the clone's node_modules
+
+Row: F8 and F9 for the 433 Run B rerun (ops-0273, mos-1546). Builder: a new Codex thread (mos-1542). Reviewer:
+Morgana (Claude), because the row touches the install path (mos-1542 rule 4). When it lands, ops-01 reruns Run B P1
+at that commit.
+
+F8, confirmed at N = 094124b4e: `scripts/case2-install.sh:185` runs
+`node "$REPO/scripts/case2-persona-import.mjs"` from the clone (`REPO`, :38). `case2-persona-import.mjs:32` imports
+`yaml`, and a fresh clone has no `node_modules`, so the import fails `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`. The copy just made at
+`$COPIES/$COMMIT` (:178) has `node_modules` (mos-1546). ops-01 reproduced `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` from a checkout
+with no `node_modules`.
+
+Fix F8 one of two ways, and say in BUILD.md which and why: run the importer from the copy
+(`$COPIES/$COMMIT/scripts/case2-persona-import.mjs`), or make node resolve its modules from the copy. The importer's
+relative import of `../packages/harness/src/bundle.mjs` must still resolve to the same commit's file. Whatever you
+pick has to work when the clone has no `node_modules` at all.
+
+F9: :186 keeps only `tail -n 1` of the importer's output. For an uncaught node error that line is the
+node banner (`Node.js v24.22.1` on 1013, mos-1546), so the refusal hides the cause. Make the refusal carry the error line, for example the first line
+matching `Error` or `ERR_`, falling back to the last line. Keep it to one line. Don't put a full stack trace in the
+refusal.
+
+Class check, same row: at N, `grep -n 'node "$REPO/' scripts/case2-install.sh scripts/case2-precheck.sh
+scripts/stack-copy.sh` finds only :185. Rerun that grep. Also list every clone-side `.mjs` those three scripts run
+that imports a package (a bare specifier, not `node:` or a relative path), and record the list in BUILD.md and the
+review request. Fix any other hit in this row only if it is the same defect, and say so.
+
+Test: add a new, append-only test block to `packages/cli/tests/case2-install.test.mjs`. It runs the library persona
+import with no `node_modules` beside the script, and must fail at N. It needs no mos-1272 OK (mos-1546). Add a second
+assertion that the F9 refusal carries the error line, not `Node.js v...`. In BUILD.md, explain why the existing
+case2-install tests missed this. ops-01 thinks the checkout's `node_modules` hid it; check that.
+
+Gate: Morgana approves the manifest. Every package suite (except queue) and every `scripts/test-*.sh` are green on
+Sage's gate, the new test fails on N, and a mutant that puts back `$REPO` at :185 is killed by the new test.

+# Optional tracker in the business file (Q247)
+
+Written 2026-10-23 by Sage under Mos's mos-1555 (DECISIONS Q247; Jason can reverse it).
+
+## Brief: tracker becomes optional in the business file
+
+**Why.** Row 323 (#1819) writes the .53 Case 1 factory business file. The factory has no tracker, and .53
+has no Vikunja sync bot. Today every business file must carry `tracker.sync` with a bot and a vikunja token
+file, and both validate and boot refuse a missing token file (goldie-0009). Mos ruled the requirement an
+implementation constraint, not a PRD one (Q247), and chose an optional tracker over a dummy credential or a
+new bot (mos-1555).
+
+**What changes.** A business file may omit the top-level `tracker` key.
+- Absent `tracker` means no tracker sync, no `@sync` credential, and no `@sync` registration in the bus.
+- A present `tracker` behaves exactly as today, with the same checks and the same refusals.
+- Every reader of the business tracker handles the absent case. The ones I found:
+  packages/business/src/business.mjs:85-96 and :293-297 (checkTracker and the own-bot check),
+  packages/business/src/cli.mjs:84-86 (validate's credential refs), packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs:131 and
+  :247, packages/bus/src/broker.mjs:6123, packages/business/src/instance-settings.mjs:126, and
+  packages/cli/src/config.mjs's trackerFor. Grep for the rest
+  (`git grep -n -E 'tracker\.sync|\.tracker\b' -- 'packages/*/src/*'`) and list every reader in BUILD.md
+  with what it does when tracker is absent.
+- A role whose definition uses vikunja still needs its own `tracker` bot (business.mjs:143). That rule stays.
+
+**Tests.** New tests only. No pre-existing test changes without Mos's OK (mos-1272); if one seems needed,
+stop and tell me.
+1. A business file with no `tracker` passes the loader and `mosaic business validate`.
+2. The bus boots with that file and raises no credential-file error, and `@sync` isn't registered.
+3. Existing fixtures, all of which carry a tracker, load unchanged. The existing suites show this.
+4. One mutant that skips the presence check, treating an absent tracker as present, is killed by a new test.
+
+**Gate.** New test files whole, then the whole touched test files, then the mutant, all on my CLEAR. My
+landing gate is the full one (mos-1455).
+
+**Boundaries.** No host action, no credentials read, no queue writes beyond your own claimant moves, no
+push to refactor. Use a new worktree off refactor on branch `<seat>/row324`. Push the branch, then report
+the tip, base and manifest to Sage. Record design notes in agents/<seat>/work/queue-324/BUILD.md.
+Duckworth reviews, because this touches credential registration.
+
+**Acceptance.** Row 323's file, written without `tracker`, passes validate and boots. Every file with a
+tracker behaves exactly as before.

+## ops-0275 O2 and O3: triage, no row
+
+Sage, for Mos's mos-1549 (433 factory on 1013, ops-0275). Neither is a defect, so neither gets a row.
+
+O2, `bus status` shows writer.lock pid 4174 while the unit's host pid is 4078. By design. `scripts/mosaic`
+execs node (scripts/mosaic:44), so the unit's MainPID is the bus host. The host forks the broker
+(packages/cli/src/host.mjs:1, :215), and the broker's Store writes its own `process.pid` into
+`<dataRoot>/bus/writer.lock` (packages/bus/src/store.mjs). The lock holder is the host's child. The
+status line's liveness check (packages/cli/src/cli.mjs:612) reported it running, so it isn't stale.
+If an operator note is wanted, the next row that edits `bus status` output can name the broker pid as the
+host's child; nothing binds it now.
+
+O3, the copy's npm step warns that @google/genai, esbuild and protobufjs have install scripts outside
+allowScripts. scripts/stack-copy.sh:74 runs `npm ci --no-audit --no-fund`. On npm 12.0.2 (dragon-lin)
+dependency install scripts are blocked by default: npm skips any dependency script with no allowScripts
+entry and lists the skipped packages at the end (`npm help install-scripts`). So the copy skips all three.
+The 433 factory passed on that copy, and the landing gates (webui included) pass with the same skip.
+Recommendation: refuse, not allow. An explicit `false` entry for each in package.json allowScripts makes
+the tested behavior the written policy and drops the warning (`npm help config`, strict-allow-scripts:
+explicit denials are always skipped silently). That edits package.json, so it waits for the next reviewed
+row that touches package.json; bound there.
+
+## ops-0282 B2-2: the run sheet doesn't state the Console proof file format
+
+Sage, for Mos's mos-1557 (433 Run B P1 at 3569bf54f). docs/guides/host-run-sheet.md:321, the .54 library
+table, gives the Console proof file's mode (0600 or 0400) and owner but not its format. The Console reads
+one base64url line of at least 32 characters, `[A-Za-z0-9_-]` only (packages/webui/src/serve.mjs:264), and
+exits 2 at start otherwise (:267). case2-unit.sh doesn't open the file, so a short or malformed proof fails
+only at Console start. That's what stopped Run B P1 (B2-1, ops-01's 24-byte fixture). Fix: add the format to
+the File cell of that row. Doc only, no test reads it; bound to the next doc row that edits the run sheet.

+## Row 323: revoke-window hides a socket-path refusal as a 20-second "no RESULT"
+
+Sage, for Mos's mos-1560/mos-1561. packages/cli/tests/revoke-window.test.mjs failed on every commit in
+Goldie's environment (base dd6cb5872 included) and passed in Sage's. The cause is TMPDIR length, not Codex.
+The test's root is `$TMPDIR/mosaic-revoke-window-XXXXXX`, and a run's `tools.sock` sits at
+`<root>/data/launches/acme/r<12 hex>/tools.sock`. newRun refuses past 107 bytes
+(packages/seat/src/session.mjs:278). Measured lengths: `.../tmp/sageXXXXXX` (35 bytes) gives 107 and passes,
+`.../tmp/goldieXXXXXX` (37 bytes) gives 109 and fails. Sage reproduced it with a 37-byte TMPDIR: 0/1 after
+20235 ms, the same "no RESULT". The test passes `log: () => {}` to the launcher, so the refusal never shows.
+The guard is right. The test is the weak part: its prefix leaves no margin, and a launch refusal reads as a
+timeout. Fix: shorten the prefix and fail on a launch-failed log line instead of waiting 20 s. That's an
+old-test change, so it needs Mos's go (mos-1272). Bound to the next row that edits revoke-window.test.mjs.
+Until then, docs/plans/BRIEF-TEMPLATE.md's Gate section sets TMPDIR to `mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/XXXXXX`.

 | `hosts.remove` | `{host}`; the human or the tester. Deletes the record, writes `grant.host.removed` and removes the installer key. A `host_grants` record for the host is `host-in-use`, a guarded event naming a host line left on the host `host-line-left`. |
 | `hosts.revoke` | `{agent,host,reason}`; the human, the business's assistant, or the tester when `bus.tester` is exactly `true` (row 235, #1741, r6 section 6). Anyone else gets `revoke-refused`. 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`. |
 | `hosts.sweep` | `{host}`; the human or the tester (r6 X3). Runs `list <user>` and removes each listed tag this business recorded for the host in a `grant.step` or `grant.revoked` that no live grant holds. Another business's line and an unrecorded `mosaic-` line stay. Writes `grant.host.swept {host,removed,left}`; `hostLineLeft` then counts from it. Returns `{host,removed,hostLineLeft}`. |
+| `grants.scope` | `{}`; the proven human CLI only (row 298, #1804, Q228). Returns the organization revision, effective scope and fallback flag. `launch.grantScope` missing or invalid covers nothing. |
+| `grants.scope.set` | `{revision,scope}`; the proven human CLI only, itself Approve for the scope change. Agents, testers, readers and Console caps refuse. Strict scope shape; optimistic organization revision, durable organization receipt, and `grant.scope` with human proof and old/new scope digests. General organization setters cannot write this setting. Scope matches per-method agent and every project, or agent/host and exact command arrays; host enrollment is excluded. In-scope requests by `launch.by` close via `scope` with protected `grant.scope.used` evidence, and run the existing grant executor without per-grant Approve. The raise returns the closed decision view to the chief; this shortcut sends no separate decision-close message. Outside scope waits as before. Scope narrowing before spend fails `scope-changed`; every issued grant keeps its records and revoke path. Empty default ships; the live value is Jason's to set. |
 | `grants.status` | `{service:"gitea"}`; the human, the tester or the chief (row 236, #1742, #436b r5). The admin slot's url, account and rotate-by date with `rotationDue`, `adminTokenLeft`, the `gitea_users` and `gitea_grants` records, approved decisions not yet run (`spentAtNextStart`), grants `running` or `settlePending`, agents held as `tokenUnknown`, the `serviceLeft` entries a sweep retries, and revokes still `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. |
 | `grants.revoke` | `{service:"gitea",agent,reason}`; the human, the business's assistant, or the tester when `bus.tester` is exactly `true`. 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). |
