-| `FCM-REQ-01` | The roster SHALL be the sole writable desired-state source for local fleet membership, launch policy, and persisted lifecycle target. Generated environment files, systemd enablement, tmux sessions, and heartbeat state SHALL be non-authoritative projections.                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
-| `FCM-REQ-02` | The implementation SHALL provide one executable structural contract for YAML/JSON input and one shared semantic validator. Roster load, profile validation, provision, migration, and apply SHALL reuse the existing baseline-plus-`roles.local` profile/persona resolver; a parallel role resolver is forbidden.                                                                                                                                                         |
-| `FCM-REQ-03` | The local fleet CLI SHALL expose documented programmatic validate, show, plan, apply/reconcile, create, inspect, update, delete, start, stop, restart, status, verify, and doctor operations with stable JSON and exit-code behavior. Existing `fleet add/remove` compatibility aliases may remain during the stated deprecation window.                                                                                                                                  |
-| `FCM-REQ-04` | A fresh create SHALL persist `enabled:true` and `desired_state:stopped` unless an explicit persisted start is requested. The model SHALL distinguish enabled state, persisted desired state, and observed state. Migration, apply, reboot, and rollback SHALL not start an agent that was observed stopped before cutover.                                                                                                                                                |
-| `FCM-REQ-05` | The launch chain SHALL consume deterministic, digest-stamped generated input only. Optional local overrides SHALL be parsed as strict data, may not shadow authoritative generated keys, and may not contain arbitrary commands, credential values, channels, or unknown `MOSAIC_AGENT_*` keys. Forbidden legacy keys, including `MOSAIC_AGENT_COMMAND`, SHALL be privately quarantined before launch and reported only by key name and content hash.                     |
-| `FCM-REQ-06` | Mutations and apply SHALL validate before mutation, use an expected generation/lock, write projections atomically, produce a deterministic plan, and emit recovery information on partial failure. Reconciliation SHALL act only on local, enabled, roster-owned projections and SHALL not kill unmanaged tmux sessions by fuzzy name.                                                                                                                                    |
-| `FCM-REQ-07` | Canonical required classes are `code`, `review`, `validator`, `orchestrator`, `team-leader`, `enhancer`, and `interaction`. `validator` issues an independent final certificate but has no merge authority; `merge-gate` remains sole approve-to-land/merge authority. Team-leader capacity is bounded by an orchestrator-issued lease, and interaction is request/status only. Tess and Ultron are configurable instance/display names, not required machine identities. |
-| `FCM-REQ-08` | v1 migration SHALL be field-complete, reversible, and explicit about aliases, unresolved classes, lifecycle inference, generated-file regeneration, local override quarantine, schema-only remote/connector fields, and rollback. Every shipped example, profile, and service preset SHALL be migrated and executable, retained as an explicitly versioned v1 fixture, or retired with a replacement and deprecation note.                                                |
-| `FCM-REQ-09` | M1–M5 SHALL remain local tmux/systemd control-plane work. Remote/SSH reconciliation, connector mutation, secret references, arbitrary command/channel overrides, gateway/API convergence, and UI configuration storage are excluded and require a separate PRD/threat model.                                                                                                                                                                                              |

-
-### Problem and objective
-
-At `next` 476db12b (review of 2026-08-17), publication from `next` is not bound to the full verification pipeline for the same commit: the publish pipeline's publish steps depend on `build` only, while ordinary push CI excludes `next`. Public Forge/MACP paths contain false-success placeholders: a stub executor that reports `completed` with exit zero, planning/remediation gates that execute literal `true`, a review gate that echoes an approving verdict, and a gate runner that treats empty commands and unimplemented CI-provider gates as passing. Shipping UI surfaces can render a failed fetch as an empty, healthy collection.
-
-Objective: for alpha 0.0.50, the release cannot publish, report, or display work state that the repository has not actually verified. Decisions SDLC-D-033 through SDLC-D-038 (Jason, 2026-08-17) scope this floor; full decision text and required-behavior lists live in jarvis-brain `docs/plans/2026-08-16_mosaic-stack-sdlc-protocol.md` and `data/decisions/mosaic-stack-sdlc-protocol.json`. This section restates only the normative requirements.
-
-### Normative requirements
-
-1. **RI-N1 Exact-commit publication verification (SDLC-D-034).** One canonical terminal verification command performs self-contained re-verification in the publish pipeline against the job's checked-out commit before any external publication effect. The command contains or invokes the complete mandatory verification set (semantic parity with the PR merge gate, including sanitization, upgrade-guard, typecheck, lint, format check, tests, and build); CI and publication do not maintain separate semantic checklists. Every publish step depends on the verification step in the executable pipeline DAG. Provider commit identity and `git rev-parse HEAD` must identify the same commit. Missing, skipped, cancelled, stale, or inconclusive checks fail closed. Documentation-only runs may skip publication but cannot bypass verification when a publication effect will occur. A negative control must prove that a broken check blocks every publish step.
-
-2. **RI-N2 Fail-closed Forge/MACP with explicit simulation (SDLC-D-035).** Simulation requires explicit caller intent (e.g. `--simulate`) and produces a distinct typed `simulated` state that can never satisfy dependencies, acceptance criteria, gates, merge, or release. Normal execution exits nonzero with a typed capability failure when a required executor, reviewer, command, or CI provider is absent — no stub completion, no literal-`true` gates, no synthetic approvals, no empty-command passes. A manual gate with no automation enters a waiting state; it does not pass. Positive tests prove explicit simulation still works; negative controls prove simulation and every missing-provider case cannot advance lifecycle state.
-
-3. **RI-N3 One transitional PRD authority (SDLC-D-036).** `@mosaicstack/prdy` structured storage under `docs/prdy/`, driven by `mosaic mission --plan`, is the authoritative PRD representation for the alpha. `mosaic prdy` either routes through the same application service or operates only as an explicit, named Markdown import/export adapter; `docs/PRD.md` is not a peer authority. `mission --plan` must persist the mission↔PRD linkage (mission id/version, PRD id/version, selected requirements). Markdown output is a generated view carrying source identity; editing it cannot mutate authority silently. Import is explicit, validated, and conflict-aware (proposed successor, never overwrite). Structural validity is separate from approval.
-
-4. **RI-N4 One quality-rails evaluator (SDLC-D-037).** The TypeScript quality-rails package is the sole authoritative evaluator. A complete probe inventory maps every current TypeScript and shell check to one canonical check with disposition (preserve/strengthen/retire, each named). Effective shell enforcement probes are absorbed before their independent paths retire; expected-file presence alone is not parity. The evaluator returns typed results (`passed`/`failed`/`blocked`/`error`/`not-applicable`) with check version, subject, and reason; missing implementation, missing input, unknown check, process error, timeout, or malformed output can never become `passed` or an unqualified skip. Check definitions and policy are versioned and digested. Shell commands become thin adapters with no separate verdict logic. The canonical terminal verification command (RI-N1) invokes this evaluator rather than duplicating its logic. Contract, parity, and negative-control tests are required, plus independent review of probe equivalence.
-
-5. **RI-N5 Consequence-aware stale UI (SDLC-D-038).** Mission Control distinguishes typed freshness states (`current`, `stale`, `partial`, `unknown`, `unavailable`) rather than inferring from empty arrays or null. A failed fetch never renders as an empty healthy collection. Last-known data may display for situational awareness only with source identity, version, and age visibly labeled; any derived completion/assurance/release verdict whose inputs are stale becomes `unknown`; all state-changing actions are disabled until fresh state loads and is revalidated. With no verified snapshot, surfaces show an explicit unavailable state. Cache corruption, cross-workspace data, schema mismatch, and version regression invalidate the snapshot. Tests cover the failure matrix (network, auth, malformed, partial, corruption, stale age, schema mismatch, recovery, stale-action rejection) with negative controls proving no case yields a current green verdict or enabled mutation.
-
-### Acceptance criteria
-
-- AC-RI-1: A push to `next` that fails any mandatory verification step publishes nothing (no npm package, no image), demonstrated by a checked-in negative control and by pipeline evidence on a real `next` publish run where the verification step is green and every publish step depends on it.
-- AC-RI-2: With no executor/reviewer/CI provider wired, Forge and MACP normal runs exit nonzero with typed capability failures; with `--simulate`, runs complete but every result is typed `simulated` and cannot satisfy any gate, dependency, or completion state — proven by unit tests including negative controls.
-- AC-RI-3: A PRD created or revised through either `mosaic mission --plan` or `mosaic prdy` resolves to one authority under `docs/prdy/` with stable identities and versions; the mission↔PRD linkage survives restart; a Markdown export is labeled as generated and cannot silently become a second writer; divergent legacy content blocks baseline claims until explicitly resolved — proven by contract tests.
-- AC-RI-4: `quality-rails check` through any entry point (TS CLI, framework shell adapter) returns the same typed verdict for the same subject; the probe inventory names every legacy check's disposition; a deliberately broken probe fails closed — proven by contract/parity/negative-control tests and independent review of probe equivalence.
-- AC-RI-5: No shipping surface renders a failed fetch as an empty healthy state; stale/partial/unavailable states are typed, labeled, and mutation-disabled — proven by the failure-matrix tests.
-- AC-RI-6: All cards merged to `next` via squash PR with terminal-green CI; release evidence for 0.0.50 records commit, verification run, and published artifacts.

-> Single-writer: the RI-050 orchestrator (jarvis, dragon-lin) only. Workers read but never modify.
->
-> **Mission:** alpha 0.0.50 release-integrity floor (decisions SDLC-D-033..038).
-> **PRD:** [docs/PRD.md § Release Integrity Workstream](../PRD.md#release-integrity-workstream-ri-1275)
-> **Issue:** #1275 (remains open until RI-V-001 closes)
-> **Base branch:** `next` (all cards branch from `origin/next`, squash-merge via PR)
->
-> **Execution note:** the `agent` column uses `pi-glm-5.3` — outside the pipeline-cron model
-> table on purpose. This workstream is executed by jarvis on dragon-lin with local pi workers
-> (`pi --model zai/glm-5.3:high`); pipeline crons must not auto-claim these rows.
->
-> **Status values:** `not-started` | `in-progress` | `done` | `blocked` | `failed` | `needs-qa`
-> `done` requires: repo quality gates green, independent review recorded, terminal-green CI on
-> the PR head, squash merge to `next`, and acceptance evidence in notes.

+# #1256 — Fleet runtime preflight
+
+**Agent:** tiny
+
+**Branch:** `fix/1256-fleet-runtime-preflight` from `origin/next@476db12b92971634b67fd2057b7577ee5894e449`
+
+**Issue:** `mosaicstack/stack#1256` blocker 1
+
+**Adjacent PR:** `#1258` (`fix/1256-fleet-pane-path-node`) owns the bootstrapped-Node candidate and must remain a separate change
+
+**Budget:** 30K-token soft cap; one bounded implementation lane
+
+## Objective
+
+Make fleet provisioning fail before installation effects when the roster names a runtime binary absent from the exact PATH the tmux pane will receive. Make `mosaic fleet doctor` report the same named runtime check. Diagnostics must name the runtime, every requesting roster row, the pane PATH searched, and an exact install command.
+
+For Pi the exact command is:
+
+```text
+npm install -g @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
+```
+
+## Constraints
+
+- TDD: add the failing behavior test and capture RED before implementation.
+- Runtime resolution uses the launcher's pane-PATH construction; a second PATH model is forbidden.
+- Operator PATH is non-authoritative and must not cause a false pass.
+- Tests use an isolated `--mosaic-home`/temporary HOME and never mutate host runtime binaries.
+- No install, removal, or binary-resolution changes on sb-it-1-dt.
+- PR targets `next` and requires a reviewer other than fred.
+- Commit identity is `tiny <[email protected]>`.
+- #1258's Node candidate is a dependency/adjacent change, never reimplemented here.
+
+## Planned seam
+
+1. Factor the shell pane-path builder/resolver into one sourceable and executable fleet helper.
+2. Have `start-agent-session.sh` source that helper, preserving one definition of the pane PATH.
+3. Have the TypeScript fleet command invoke the same helper under the unit-equivalent clean launcher environment.
+4. Group roster rows by distinct runtime and effective pane PATH, then report requesting row names.
+5. Run the preflight before `installFleet` performs any write.
+6. Add the named result to roster-v2 `fleet doctor` JSON and set a failing exit when a runtime is absent.
+7. Install/copy the helper alongside `start-agent-session.sh` and update framework manifest/docs as required.
+
+This seam overlaps #1258 only at the location of the existing shell function. Development may use #1258 as a local dependency, but the final PR diff must exclude #1258's separately owned Node change after that PR lands or after an agreed rebase order.
+
+## Acceptance evidence
+
+| Requirement | Evidence |
+|---|---|
+| Missing Pi blocks install before effects | isolated CLI test: nonzero + no installed files/runner effects |
+| Operator PATH cannot create false green | test puts Pi only on operator PATH and omits it from constructed pane PATH |
+| Exact pane PATH reused | launcher and CLI call one shared shell helper; contract test exercises both |
+| Actionable diagnosis | runtime + roster rows + searched PATH + exact install command assertions |
+| Distinct runtimes | repeated rows produce one check with all row names |
+| Doctor reports named check | JSON assertion + nonzero exit for missing runtime |
+| Present runtime passes | isolated pane-path fixture with executable binary |
+| No host mutation | tests use temporary HOME/Mosaic home and fixture binaries only |
+| Baseline safety | focused tests, package typecheck/lint/format, full relevant suite, CI |
+
+## Progress log
+
+- 2026-08-16: Dispatch received from fred; issue #1256 and PR #1258 measured.
+- 2026-08-16: Fresh clone created under `~/agent-work/tiny-fleet-runtime-preflight`; local Git identity pinned to tiny so retired global `mos-dt-0` identity cannot win.
+- 2026-08-16: Design inspection found the pane PATH exists only inside `start-agent-session.sh`; the right seam is a shared shell helper rather than a parallel TypeScript reconstruction.
+- 2026-08-16: RED measured on `origin/next@476db12b`: focused `fleet-roster-v2-dispatch.spec.ts` ran 11 tests; the new case failed because install returned success, wrote units for two agents, and emitted no `runtime=pi` diagnosis while Pi existed only on operator PATH.
+- 2026-08-16: Factored pane home/PATH/resolution into sourceable and executable `pane-runtime-path.sh`; install invokes it before the first effect, doctor emits the same named checks, and the launcher sources it.
+- 2026-08-16: Fred/rhodey review exposed the #1241 name-resolution blind spot: `mosaic` can resolve while its `#!/usr/bin/env node` interpreter cannot. Measurement confirmed every supported current Mosaic package shape is a Node-shebang script, but executing `mosaic --version` is not observational because CLI startup runs the cache-writing/network update checker before Commander handles the flag.
+- 2026-08-16: Final executable check reads and unwraps direct and `/usr/bin/env` shebangs (including `env -S`), resolves the declared dependency against pane PATH, and runs only side-effect-free `node --version` when Node is declared. Native binaries do not inherit a permanent Node requirement. Install, doctor, and launcher share this implementation.
+- 2026-08-16: Isolated greenfield fixture places resolved Mosaic and Pi Node-shebang scripts in pane-visible npm-global bin while using an empty system suffix; both checks become `unexecutable` with `dependency=node`, and install leaves holder/tools/units absent. No host binary or HOME is changed.
+- 2026-08-16: GREEN evidence before #1258 rebase: focused install/doctor/preflight suites pass; `fleet.spec.ts` 209/209; full Vitest 87 files / 1,557 tests; launcher shell suite, typecheck, lint, build, and focused format check pass. Full framework-shell reaches an unrelated host-measurement drift in unchanged `invariant_r_unittest.py` (expected Pi 0.84.1, host resolves 0.84.2); no invariant was changed in this lane.
+- 2026-08-16: Merge-order gate remains: `origin/next` is still `476db12b`; #1258 is unmerged at `6dc35e5`. Rebase after it lands, relocate its Node candidate into the helper with explicit provenance, rerun gates, then open the PR to `next` for an independent non-fred review.

-Design SSOT: jarvis-brain `docs/plans/2026-08-16_mosaic-stack-sdlc-protocol.md` (SDLC-D-033..038).
-
-## Mode (Jason's directives)
-
-- Orchestrator: jarvis (this session, dragon-lin). NOT mos-claude; work stays on this host.
-- Workers: local pi headless — `pi --model zai/glm-5.3:high -p` in the card's worktree, tools read,bash,edit,write.
-- Delegation override of stack AGENTS.md `agent` column: rows carry `pi-glm-5.3` (outside cron table so no auto-claim).
-- Target branch: `next`. Cards branch from `origin/next`, squash-merge via PR.
-
-## Operational constraints (measured this session)
-
-- Main checkout at `/home/jwoltje/src/mosaic-stack` is a dirty diverged `main` (ahead 1139/behind 711) — NEVER touched. All work in `/home/jwoltje/src/mosaic-stack-worktrees/<branch>`.
-- Disk: /home 187G free. /tmp only 8.7G — keep pnpm stores/node_modules under /home.
-- `main` and `next` have DIVERGED; PRs target `next`.
-- Identity: pin `GITEA_LOGIN=mosaicstack-jarvis` for all wrapper ops. Issue #1275 verified authored by @jarvis.
-- `ci-queue-wait.sh` on this host is fail-open (board: fix #1032 not installed) — substitute SHA-status checks via `/commits/{sha}/status` and diff failing step names.
-- CI on PRs runs `pull_request` pipelines (any branch) incl. ci-postgres service. Push CI runs on main only; publish runs on push/tag to next + manual.
-- Wrapper gaps on this host per board (7 gaps; e.g. no pr-review-list, issue-assign broken, pr-merge makes no trailers): verify outcomes by reading back provider state, never trust rc alone.
-- Publish pipeline currently: install → build → publish-npm/publish-next-npm (+image). No verify. CI steps: install, sanitization, upgrade-guard, typecheck, lint, format, test, ci-postgres.

-# HANDOFF — RI-050 continuation (written 2026-08-17 ~08:45 UTC, jarvis/dragon-lin)
-
-You are taking over the alpha 0.0.50 release-integrity workstream in place. Everything you
-need is on the remote. Read this whole file, then `docs/release-integrity/TASKS.md` (same
-branch), then the PRD section (`docs/PRD.md` § Release Integrity Workstream, same branch).
-
-## Identity / mode
-
-- Orchestrator identity: `jarvis` (dragon-lin). You continue as the RI-050 orchestrator under
-  whatever identity Jason gives you — if you are NOT jarvis, say so in comms and PR bodies.
-- Jason's standing directives for this mission: work happens on THIS repo (mosaicstack/stack),
-  PRs target `next` (NOT main), workers are local pi headless sessions on
-  `zai/glm-5.3:high`. Do not hand this to mos-claude. Do not borrow other seats' lanes.
-- All wrapper ops: pin `GITEA_LOGIN=mosaicstack-jarvis` (issue #1275 was verified authored by
-  @jarvis; keep identity consistent or verify yours with issue-view and READ BACK user.login).
-- CI substitution rule (this host's ci-queue-wait.sh is fail-open; fix #1032 not installed):
-  judge CI by SHA-status via `/api/v1/repos/mosaicstack/stack/commits/{sha}/status` or the
-  woodpecker API (`pipeline-status.sh -r mosaicstack/stack -n N -f json`), and DIFF THE
-  FAILING STEP NAMES rather than trusting rc.
-
-## Mission state at handoff
-
-Mission: alpha 0.0.50 release-integrity floor. Issue #1275 (open, has live-evidence comment).
-Decisions SDLC-D-033..038 live in jarvis-brain
-`docs/plans/2026-08-16_mosaic-stack-sdlc-protocol.md` (normative text also mirrored in the
-PRD section on this branch, so this repo is self-sufficient).
-
-Base: `origin/next` @ 476db12b. NOTE: `main` and `next` have DIVERGED — never base on main.
-
-Branches (all pushed, all clean trees):
-
-- `docs/ri-050-mission-bootstrap` @ 5114faa2 → PR #1276 (open, mergeable) — bootstrap docs +
-  this scratchpad + TASKS.md DAG. STATUS: CI red on `test` only, which is the known lane-wide
-  failure (see blocker below); own prettier issue already fixed.
-- `feat/ri-050-publish-gate` @ 0aa5ed35 → PR #1277 (open, mergeable) — RI-1-001 COMPLETE
-  (worker reported success, orchestrator review PASSED: verify step asserts CI_COMMIT_SHA ==
-  git rev-parse HEAD then runs canonical `pnpm verify:release`; every publish/image step
-  depends_on verify directly, confirmed by parsing the DAG: publish-npm, publish-next-npm,
-  build-gateway/appservice/web all -> [build, verify]; invariant test
-  scripts/verify-release.test.mjs passes 7/7 locally with negative fixtures). CI: same known
-  lane-red `test` step only.
-- `fix/ri-050-forge-fail-closed` @ 99b8f6ea → PR #1278 (open, mergeable) — RI-2-001 worker
-  reported success (typed `FORGE_*` capability errors, --simulate typed simulated everywhere,
-  vacuous true/echo gates replaced, closed ForgeOutcome set, 116 tests green incl. 16 new).
-  ORCHESTRATOR REVIEW NOT YET DONE — your first job. Review the diff
-  (1391 insertions across forge src), check the fail-closed paths and that simulated
-  results cannot satisfy any consumer, run `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/forge test`.
-
-## The one blocker
-
-Every `next` PR pipeline is red on ONE assertion:
-`packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/test-start-agent-session.sh:103` ("host provides 'pi'
-in the system path"). Pre-existing at base; affects PRs #1276/#1277/#1278 identically.
-fred's PR #1270 ("unblocks every PR on next") is green and open — it is HIS to merge; do not
-merge it yourself. jarvis sent comms (`comms/20260817T052148Z__from-jarvis__650fe8.md` in
-jarvis-brain) asking merge timing; no reply yet as of handoff. Merge gates for ALL RI PRs
-queue behind #1270 landing. Until then: review/develop freely, merge nothing that needs the
-green gate (docs-only #1276 arguably could merge red-lane with Jason's explicit call — ask,
-don't assume).
-
-## Remaining DAG (docs/release-integrity/TASKS.md is canonical)
-
-Wave 2 (next): RI-2-002 MACP fail-closed (brief pattern: mirror RI-2-001 for
-packages/macp/src/gate-runner.ts — empty commands, stub executors, unimplemented CI-provider
-gates fail closed; explicit simulate) and RI-4-001 PRD authority (one PRD service;
-@mosaicstack/prdy docs/prdy authoritative via `mosaic mission --plan`; `mosaic prdy` routes
-or becomes named Markdown adapter; mission<->PRD linkage persists — see PRD RI-N3).
-Wave 3: RI-3-001 probe inventory (docs), RI-5-001 web stale-safety.
-Wave 4: RI-1-002 negative-control tests, RI-3-002 TS evaluator absorbs shell probes.
-Final: RI-V-001 evidence pack (real green next publish run post-gate + all cards verified).
-
-## Worker mechanics (measured, reuse)
-
-- Dispatch: create worktree `git -C /home/jwoltje/src/mosaic-stack worktree add
-/home/jwoltje/src/mosaic-stack-worktrees/<id> -b <branch> origin/next`, write a brief to
-  /var/tmp/ri-050/, then run from INSIDE the worktree:
-  `pi -p --no-session --model zai/glm-5.3:high --tools read,bash,edit,write "$(cat brief.md)"`
-  (pi has NO -f flag — pass the brief as a positional message; first dispatch died on that).
-- Briefs for 1-001/2-001 are at /var/tmp/ri-050/ on dragon-lin (may not survive; the
-  pattern is fully described above and in TASKS.md).
-- Briefs must carry: worktree path, branch, base, requirements, known base-red list (so the
-  worker doesn't chase it), gates to run, PR creation command with GITEA_LOGIN pin, "do NOT
-  merge, do NOT touch docs/TASKS.md", and the JSON report format.
-- Verify worker claims: read the PR, run their tests yourself, parse pipeline step names.
-
-## Do-not-touch
-
-- Main checkout at /home/jwoltje/src/mosaic-stack (dirty diverged main) — never touch.
-- fred's open PRs (#1270 and others) — review evidence welcome, merging his is not yours.
-- Other RI PRs' authors' lanes: #1277/#1278 are yours to gate and merge ONCE lane is green
-  and review is recorded.
-- Never `--no-verify`; never bypass the wrapper-fails-closed rule (wrapper failure ⇒
-  `blocked + report exact command + stop`).
-
-## Session-restore command sequence
-
-1. `git -C /home/jwoltje/src/mosaic-stack-worktrees/ri-050 fetch origin --prune`
-2. Read this file + `docs/release-integrity/TASKS.md` + PRD section.
-3. Check PR states (#1270, #1276, #1277, #1278) and lane CI (SHA-status per above).
-4. Review RI-2-001 (PR #1278) if not yet done; then dispatch wave 2.

-  forge suite 116/116 at head (matches PR claim), forge lint green, forge typecheck green after
-  building `@mosaicstack/macp` dist (TS2307 on bare `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` is a

-- CI red on #1276/#1277/#1278: lane-wide `test` failure only
-  (test-start-agent-session.sh:103, fred's guard mis-wired; #1270 unwires it). Fred measured log

-  from the tea login list only; no fargo tea login on this host → silent host-default fallback;
-  MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY is only read in detect-platform.sh get_gitea_token's fallback arm, never
-  reached. Exact-id read-back verifies against the writing token, so it passed while attribution
-  was wrong — durable-provenance machinery proves the write, not the seat. Fred's ruling: review
-  172 stands (substance/verdict/pin correct; label wrong); NO re-approval (one approval,
-  annotated, is the stronger record); fred posts the provenance correction under @fred with
-  --login fred-ms (hard-fail path); no fargo tea login ever (freeze + Jason's to authorize);
-  tooling gap filed by fred. Also explains (does not reopen) #1228's mos-dt-0 attribution.
-- Merge gate: all RI PRs queue behind fred's green #1270 (Jason's call).

-# RESUMPTION + DAILY-HANDOFF PROTOCOL (Jason, 2026-08-17)
-
-Orchestrator seat is back with **jarvis** (dragon-lin). Expect daily handoff between jarvis
-and fargo. Protocol (both seats, every handoff):
-
-1. **This file is the shared mission log.** Append a dated section per session: state
-   measured, actions taken, PR/review states, next actions. Never rewrite prior sections.
-2. **TASKS.md stays current within one session** — status, PR number in notes, review
-   evidence. Stale rows are handoff debt.
-3. **Cross-review rule (SDLC-D-011 in practice):** the reviewing seat must differ from the
-   producing seat. jarvis reviews fargo-dispatched PRs, fargo reviews jarvis-dispatched
-   PRs. Producers are always pi workers; dispatching seats verify before push; the other
-   seat records the Gitea review.
-4. Handoff = append here + push + (optional) issue #1275 comment if a decision changed.

-## RESUMED — jarvis/dragon-lin, 2026-08-17 (afternoon)
-
-- Measured: next = 8199261c (#1270 merged — lane unblocked for new PRs). #1293/#1294
-  (fargo, wave 2) CI-green, mergeable, no recorded reviews. #1276/#1277/#1278 still based
-  on 476db12b with stale red CI → need rebase onto 8199261c. #1278 review pinned to old
-  head 99b8f6ea by @mos-dt-0 (fargo's, mis-attributed per his note) — rebase will dismiss
-  it; re-approval must come from fargo/fred (author is @jarvis, cannot self-approve).
-- Live evidence #2: push pipeline 2462 (the #1270 merge itself) ran publish-next-npm
-  SUCCESS beside build-gateway FAILURE again.
-- Plan: rebase the three original branches; independently review #1293/#1294; merge order
-  once green+reviewed: #1276 (docs) → #1277 (publish gate) → #1278/#1293/#1294 (code).
-  After #1277 merges, watch the next push pipeline prove the verify gate live.
-- fargo's non-RI PRs (#1291/#1296/#1297/#1281) stay strictly his lane.
-
-## jarvis session 2026-08-17 (evening) — reviews, rebases, merge plan
-
-- Rebased #1276/#1277/#1278 onto 8199261c (heads 59e2c460 / 46784c8d / 4917df1f);
-  invariant tests 7/7 and forge 116/116 re-run green at new heads. #1270 touched
-  test-enumeration-exclusions.txt + package.json, NOT ci.yml — no semantic overlap with
-  #1277's ci.yml changes (checked, was a real concern).
-- Independent reviews recorded: #1293 APPROVED (review 173; macp 109/109; fail-closed paths
-  + aggregate state machine verified), #1294 APPROVED (review 174; prdy 20/20 + command
-  specs 9/9; single-writer + linkage persistence + labeled export + conflict-aware import
-  verified). Note: 19 unrelated mosaic suites fail on bare minimal install (known workspace
-  build-order artifact, documented by fargo) — not this change.
-- Measured: `next` has NO branch protection (API: only main listed). Cross-seat review
-  discipline is protocol-enforced, not Gitea-enforced. Flagged to fargo for Jason: direct
-  pushes to next trigger ungated publishes; protection is Jason's call (#1231 adjacent).
-- Merge order planned: #1276 (docs-only — no publish run) -> #1277 (first gated publish)
-  -> #1278 -> #1293 -> #1294. Sent fargo review requests with pinned head SHAs
-  (comms/20260818T011932Z__from-jarvis__a9c02b.md). Not merging #1293/#1294 before my three
-  clear fargo's review — order optimality beats speed; every pre-#1277 merge publishes ungated.
-- CI on the three rebased heads: pending at time of this entry.

-## Fail-Closed Execution & Explicit Simulation (SDLC-D-035)
-
-**Added:** 2026-08-17
-
-Forge fails closed when a required capability is missing. It never runs a
-pipeline with a stub executor and reports success.
-
-### Normal mode (default)
-
-- No task executor wired → the CLI exits nonzero with the typed capability
-  error `FORGE_NO_EXECUTOR`. No run is created.
-- A stage whose gate is approval-based (board approval, planning approvals,
-  remediation re-review, discovery/analysis attestations) records a typed
-  `waiting-for-authority` stage result and raises `FORGE_AUTHORITY_REQUIRED`.
-  It never passes vacuously.
-- A stage whose gate requires an unwired provider (AI reviewer, CI pipeline)
-  records a typed `blocked` stage result and raises `FORGE_NO_REVIEWER` /
-  `FORGE_NO_CI_PIPELINE`. The synthetic echo-review approval in `06-review`
-  and all vacuous `true` gates were removed.
-
-### Explicit simulation (`--simulate`)
-
-Opts into stub/synthetic execution. Every stage result, every gate result, and
-the run manifest carry the distinct typed status `simulated` (manifest also
-records `mode: "simulated"`). `simulated` is a non-satisfying outcome:
-`isSatisfyingOutcome()` and all completion/gate consumers treat only `passed`
-as satisfying. The CLI exits 0 for a simulated run only because the caller
-explicitly passed `--simulate`, and prints a loud SIMULATED banner.
-
-### Typed outcome model
-
-Every gate/task outcome is one of the closed set
-`passed | failed | blocked | error | waiting-for-authority | simulated |
-not-applicable`, with the reason recorded on the stage status and each gate
-result in `manifest.json`. Missing implementations, missing gate evidence,
-unknown stages, process errors, and timeouts map to fail-closed members —
-never to `passed`.

-# RI-1-002 — Publish-gate negative controls (SDLC-D-034 second half)
-
-- Task: RI-1-002 (docs/release-integrity workstream, PRD item RI-N1), issue ref #1275
-- Branch: `test/ri-050-publish-gate-negative` (base `origin/next` @ d8e0aec9 = PR #1277, RI-1-001)
-- Budget: worker estimate ~45K tokens; keep scoped to the two test files + scratchpad.
-
-## Objective
-
-Checked-in negative-control tests that PROVE the publish gate fails when it must:
-
-1. Broken mandatory check blocks every publish step (structural DAG proof from `.woodpecker/publish.yml`).
-2. Bypass shapes fail the checker: missing edge, hidden effect (non-`publish` name), detached verify, always-pass verify (`failure: ignore` / `success` override), conditional verify (`when`).
-3. Exact-commit identity: no HEAD-moving step between verify and publish effects; legitimate re-checkout requires verify to re-run after it.
-4. `verify-release.mjs` composition control: a SUBSET stage list fails the composition check.
-
-## Plan
-
-- NEW `scripts/publish-gate-structure.test.mjs` — self-contained structural checker (`assertPublishGateBlocksOnVerify`) + positive control on the real pipeline + one negative-control test per bypass shape (S1–S6, documented in file header) + positive control for the legitimate re-checkout shape.
-- EXTEND `scripts/verify-release.test.mjs` — refactor the stage-mirror test body into `assertStagesMirrorCi(stages, ci)`; add negative control dropping each stage one at a time (subset must throw).
-
-## Conventions confirmed
-
-- Root `test:checkout` = `node --test scripts/*.test.mjs` → new file auto-joins `pnpm test`.
-- Test-enumeration guard population is `*test*.sh` under `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/` only → unaffected.
-- Root eslint covers only `**/*.{ts,tsx}` → .mjs files need Prettier style only (printWidth 100, singleQuote, semi, trailingComma all).
-- Do NOT touch docs/TASKS.md, docs/release-integrity/TASKS.md, docs/scratchpads/.
-
-## Progress log
-
-- [x] Base verified: publish.yml `verify` step + verify-release.mjs present; HEAD contains origin/next.
-- [x] Wrote scripts/publish-gate-structure.test.mjs
-- [x] Extended scripts/verify-release.test.mjs (mirror fn + subset negative control)
-- [x] Gates: node --test scripts (31 tests pass), prettier clean on touched files, pnpm typecheck PASS, pnpm lint PASS, pnpm format:check PASS
-- [x] Committed ff585b88 + pushed, PR #1305 → next (no conflicts). Stopped before merge per task instruction.
-
-## Evidence
-
-- `node --test scripts/verify-release.test.mjs scripts/publish-gate-structure.test.mjs` → 31 tests, 0 fail.
-- Mutation sanity: temporarily removing the `verify` edge from build-gateway in publish.yml → structure test goes red (verified manually during dev, then reverted).
-- Gates run from repo root on this worktree; results in Progress log.
-
-## Risks / notes
-
-- Effect detection (`isPublishCommand`) is deliberately over-broad (any npm/pnpm/yarn command mentioning `publish`, any kaniko/docker-push/`--destination`) — fail-closed: a false positive forces justification, a false negative is the actual hazard.
-- `git fetch` flagged as HEAD-moving even though fetch alone doesn't move HEAD — fail-closed on the classic `fetch && reset` pair.

-# Scratchpad — RI-4-001 One transitional PRD authority (RI-N3, #1275)
-
-- Objective: single PrdService authority in `@mosaicstack/prdy`; `mosaic prdy` and
-  `mission --plan` become thin adapters; mission↔PRD linkage persisted on disk;
-  Markdown export is a labeled generated view (never read back); import is
-  validated/conflict-aware with typed refusals.
-- Budget: ~35K tokens (card cap). Baselines: prdy build/lint rc=0, 0 tests;
-  mosaic build rc=0 (after root turbo build), lint rc=0, 1548 tests pass;
-  root build rc=0.
-- Plan: (1) extend store schema (version, missions linkage) (2) PrdService +
-  typed errors (3) wizard/cli route through service (4) mosaic adapters
-  (5) contract specs both packages (6) gates (7) sabotage control (8) report
-  to /var/tmp/ri-050/ri-4-001-report.md.
-- Decisions:
-  - Linkage lives ON the PRD document (`missions` array) — one authority file,
-    survives restart, no sidecar sync problems.
-  - `version` = content revision of sections/status (bumped by update/import
-    accept). Linkage writes bump `updatedAt` only, so ids/versions stay stable
-    for the card's "stable ids/versions" contract.
-  - Mission version marker = `mission.updatedAt` (gateway MissionInfo has no
-    numeric version field).
-  - Import reads YAML documents only — never the exported Markdown (keeps the
-    "no code path reads exported Markdown" invariant).
-  - Import of an existing id with identical core content → `identical` no-op;
-    divergent → typed `PrdImportConflictError` carrying proposed successor
-    (existing.version + 1, status draft, linkages preserved). Original bytes
-    untouched until explicit `acceptSuccessor`.
-  - `requirementIds` default `[]` at the mission command (no requirement
-    selection UI yet) — service accepts ids when a caller has them.
-- Progress log:
-  - [16:35] baselines captured (prdy 0 tests; mosaic 1548 after root build; root build rc=0)
-  - [16:38] store schema v2 + PrdService + wizard/cli rerouted; prdy build/lint green
-  - [16:40] mosaic adapters done; prdy spec 20/20 (found+fixed: import project-path leak, empty-store typed error, YAML timestamp coercion)

-// RI-1-002 / RI-N1 publish-gate NEGATIVE CONTROLS (SDLC-D-034).
-//
-// scripts/verify-release.test.mjs pins the POSITIVE structure of the publish
-// gate: every publish effect declares a direct `depends_on: verify` edge and
-// the verify step asserts commit identity + runs the canonical command. This
-// suite is the negative-control set: each test feeds a structural gate
-// checker a pipeline in which the gate is bypassed by ONE specific shape and
-// asserts the checker goes RED. The controls prove from the pipeline FILE —
-// never by executing Woodpecker — that a verify step that FAILS (nonzero
-// exit) blocks every publish effect.
-//
-// Woodpecker semantics these controls rely on:
-//   - A step that exits nonzero FAILS, and every step that transitively
-//     depends on a failed step is SKIPPED — never run. That skip is the only
-//     thing standing between a failed mandatory check and a publish effect.
-//   - `detach: true` removes the step from the wait graph: the pipeline does
-//     not wait for detached steps, so their failure can never block anything.
-//   - `failure: ignore` reports a failed step as success to the DAG.
-//   - `success: [codes...]` overrides which exit codes count as success;
-//     admitting any nonzero code launders a failed verification into green.
-//   - `when` on the verify step would skip verification entirely on some
-//     event/path classes while publish effects still run.
-//
-// Bypass shapes covered (one negative-control test each):
-//   S1  Missing edge — a publish effect whose dependency closure does not
-//       contain `verify` (a refactor drops the depends_on entry).
-//   S2  Hidden effect — a step whose NAME does not start with `publish` but
-//       whose COMMANDS publish npm packages or push images. Effects are
-//       classified by commands, so renaming a step cannot un-gate it.
-//   S3  Detached verify — `verify: { detach: true }`: publish steps no longer
-//       wait for verify, so the depends_on edge is decorative.
-//   S4  Always-pass verify — `failure: ignore`, or a `success` override
-//       admitting nonzero exit codes: verify fails, the DAG sees success.
-//   S5  Conditional verify — a `when`/path filter on verify itself.
-//   S6  Exact-commit drift — a HEAD-moving step (git checkout/switch/reset/
-//       clean/pull/clone/fetch) ordered between `verify` and a publish
-//       effect: the verified commit would not be the published commit. A
-//       LEGITIMATE re-checkout is allowed only when `verify` itself runs
