 **Outbound:** Adapter calls Discord REST `POST /channels/{id}/messages`. Markdown content is sent as-is (Discord renders it). For `contentType = "code"` the adapter wraps in triple-backtick fences with the `metadata.language` tag.
 
+### Discord service ingress security
+
+The Discord adapter is an authenticated gateway service, not an anonymous Socket.IO client. It presents `DISCORD_SERVICE_TOKEN` during its `/chat` connection and signs each inbound envelope using HMAC-SHA-256. The envelope contains the Discord native message ID and a generated correlation ID. Gateway verifies the service credential, signature, and configured guild/channel/user allowlists before agent dispatch, then rejects duplicate native message IDs inside its bounded replay window. All three allowlists are default-deny and required when the Discord plugin is enabled. The service credential is injected at runtime and is never logged or included in protocol payloads.

+### Discord ingress security
+
+When `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` is configured, `DISCORD_SERVICE_TOKEN`, `DISCORD_SERVICE_USER_ID`, and all three Discord allowlists are required. Gateway startup fails rather than enabling a broad or unauthenticated remote-control surface. The service user ID identifies a provisioned Mosaic service principal for persistence; the original Discord user ID is retained in ingress audit metadata. The service token is a secret supplied by the approved runtime secret mechanism and is never committed or logged.
+
+Inbound Discord messages must originate from an allowed guild, channel, and user, mention the bot, and carry a signed envelope containing the native Discord message ID and a generated correlation ID. The gateway validates the service identity, envelope signature, and allowlists again before dispatching. Replayed Discord message IDs are rejected during the bounded ingress replay window. Durable inbox/idempotency retention is introduced with Tess durable state.
+
+### Session retention and garbage collection
+
+Session cleanup is scoped to one session identifier and only removes that session's Valkey keys and demotes that session's hot logs. Gateway startup and scheduled jobs do not perform global session cleanup; startup removes legacy repeatable `session-gc` schedules created by older deployments. The `/gc` command is intentionally disabled until a distinct global-retention job supplies explicit authorization and audit evidence. This prevents one tenant or session's cleanup from changing another's retained data.

+# #747 — De-hardcode orchestrator and interaction agent names
+
+## Objective
+
+Replace branded Mos/Tess symbols, filenames, DI tokens, and error prose with role-neutral orchestrator/interaction vocabulary without changing env-driven runtime identity behavior. Add optional roster `alias` and `provider` fields and show aliases in `mosaic fleet ps` with name fallback.
+
+## Scope and constraints
+
+- Requirements: `/home/hermes/agent-work/reviews/747-wsa-dehardcode-brief.md`.
+- Branch: `feat/747-dehardcode-orchestrator-interaction-names` from `main` at `e72388b2`.
+- Keep `MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME` and `MOSAIC_ORCHESTRATOR_AGENT_NAME` unchanged.
+- Sample/test data may retain operator display names.
+- No behavior change beyond optional roster metadata and alias display.
+- Budget: no explicit cap; conservative mechanical-rename scope only.
+- TDD: optional and skipped because this is a mechanical rename with existing focused coverage; add focused alias/schema regression coverage before completion.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Rename coordination and durable-session files and symbols using canonical vocabulary.
+2. Scrub branded symbol names and error prose in the assigned source trees while preserving allowed sample data.
+3. Extend roster schema with optional `alias` and `provider`; update fleet roster typing/rendering and focused tests.
+4. Run grep-clean verification, build, typecheck, lint/format, focused coord/durable-session/fleet tests, and roster validation.
+5. Commit, queue-guard, push, open a Gitea PR closing #747, and report to the coordinator.
+
+## Progress
+
+- 2026-07-13: Task resumed from coordinator brief; repository clean at `e72388b2`.
+- Renamed coordination and durable-session files, exports, gateway DI symbols, DTOs, services, repositories, and tests.
+- Replaced branded authority/error prose while preserving the existing `/api/coord/mos` compatibility route and env-variable identity inputs.
+- Added optional roster `alias`/`provider` support and alias-first `fleet ps` display with canonical-name fallback.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm typecheck`: passed (42 tasks).
+- `pnpm build`: passed (23 tasks).
+- `pnpm lint`: passed (23 tasks).
+- `pnpm format:check`: passed.
+- Coordination tests: 7 passed.
+- Agent durable-session/runtime tests: 23 passed.
+- Gateway coordination/durable-session/integration tests: 20 passed.
+- Full `fleet.spec.ts`: 192 passed, including alias/provider parsing and alias display.
+- JSON Schema 2020 validation: legacy minimal roster and extended alias/provider roster passed; `alias` and `provider` remain absent from `required`.
+- Grep verification: no branded symbol/type/file/DI names or error prose remain in assigned source trees; one allowed `Tess Owner` test-data display name remains.

+# TESS-M1-002 — Provider Registry
+
+- **Issue:** #707
+- **Branch:** `feat/tess-provider-registry`
+- **Objective:** Build the runtime provider registry/service boundary that derives immutable actor/tenant/channel/correlation scope server-side, fail-closes unsupported and destructive runtime operations, binds termination approval to the exact structured action, and emits correlation-safe audit events.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Add a provider-agnostic registry in `@mosaicstack/agent` over the merged `AgentRuntimeProvider` contract.
+2. Write abuse-case tests before implementation for duplicate/unknown providers, immutable server-derived scope, capability denial, approval mismatch/absence, and audit failure.
+3. Implement the Gateway service that converts only authenticated `ActorTenantScope` plus trusted ingress metadata into a frozen `RuntimeScope`, gates capabilities and terminate approval, and records metadata-only audits.
+4. Register the service in `AgentModule`, then run focused, baseline, cold-cache, and independent-review gates.
+
+## Security Invariants
+
+- Caller-supplied actor/tenant identity never reaches runtime providers.
+- Provider capability absence and approval/audit failure deny before side effects.
+- Termination approval is verified against provider, session, actor, tenant, channel, and correlation context.
+- Audit events retain correlation and authority metadata but never message content or approval material.
+
+## Progress
+
+- 2026-07-12: Created fresh worktree from `origin/main` at `119f64e6`; source and Tess planning/security documentation reviewed.
+- 2026-07-12: Security TDD added registry and gateway abuse tests before implementation.
+- 2026-07-12: Implemented `AgentRuntimeProviderRegistry` and gateway `RuntimeProviderService`; registered both in `AgentModule` and documented the internal boundary.
+- 2026-07-12: Independent review found two audit correctness issues. Remediated completion-audit failure handling and provider execution failures: pre-invocation denials are audited as `denied`; post-invocation errors as `failed`; completion audit failure does not misreport a completed effect as retryable.
+- 2026-07-12: Final independent security review: no findings. Final code review had one false positive: `@mosaicstack/types` is already declared in `packages/agent/package.json`.
+
+## Tests
+
+- TDD red: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/gateway test -- runtime-provider-registry.service.test.ts` failed before both audit remediations, as expected.
+- Focused: package registry 2 tests and gateway security boundary 7 tests pass.
+- Cold-cache: removed this worktree's `node_modules`, then `pnpm install --offline --frozen-lockfile --store-dir /home/jarvis/.local/share/pnpm/store` passed.
+- Cold-cache baseline: `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm typecheck` — 42/42 tasks passed; `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm lint` — 23/23 tasks passed; `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm format:check` passed; `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm test` — 42/42 tasks passed (gateway 548 tests passed, 11 intentionally skipped).
+
+## Risks / Blockers
+
+- The canonical durable approval implementation is currently command-specific. This card introduces a fail-closed runtime approval verifier boundary so a runtime provider cannot terminate until its exact-action verifier is wired; later provider implementations cannot bypass it.

+# TESS-M1-003 — Fleet/tmux Runtime Provider
+
+- **Task:** `TESS-M1-003`
+- **Issue:** `#707`
+- **Branch:** `feat/tess-fleet-provider`
+- **PR target:** `main`
+- **Budget:** 30K estimate from `docs/tess/TASKS.md`; work remains scoped to `packages/mosaic`, `packages/agent`, and Tess architecture/scratchpad documentation.
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement `TESS-FLT-001` as a tmux/fleet `AgentRuntimeProvider` on the M1 registry contract. Operations must use roster-bound, exact tmux targets; fail closed on missing or mismatched peer identity; allow read-only attach only; use exact-target message delivery and termination; and expose no arbitrary shell, socket, or fuzzy session targeting.
+
+## Requirements and Security Invariants
+
+- `TESS-FLT-001`: fleet roster/status/heartbeat inspection, message delivery, session hierarchy, safe attach, controlled termination/recovery.
+- `TESS-ARP-001` / `TESS-TRN-001`: conform to the runtime provider contract and advertise only implemented capabilities.
+- TM-10: exact target/socket binding and peer identity verification; wrong socket, target, or identity must refuse delivery/attach.
+- Gateway supplies immutable actor/tenant/channel/correlation scope and consumes durable termination approvals before provider invocation.
+- `control` attach is denied. A provider attach is a scoped read-only logical handle; it never opens a server-side interactive terminal or exposes a raw tmux target.
+- M2 will make durable attachment/session state available. This M1 provider does not claim durable attachment handles or durable message idempotency.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Add security TDD cases first for fuzzy/unrostered targets, incorrect socket/identity, control attach, attachment scope replay, and termination exact targeting.
+2. Add Mosaic fleet primitives for exact target validation and identity probing from the roster/socket.
+3. Implement and export the fleet/tmux provider in `@mosaicstack/agent`, using only those primitives and a command-runner seam.
+4. Update Tess architecture docs and this evidence log.
+5. Run focused tests, independent code/security reviews, cold-cache forced gates, then create a PR with `Refs #707`.
+
+## Branch/Base Note
+
+The orchestrator corrected the initial brief: `feat/tess-interaction-agent` is a stale planning branch. This branch was correctly created from `origin/main` at `e92186d7` (including M1-002) and will open a clean PR to `main` with `Refs #707`.
+
+## Progress
+
+- [x] Read PRD, Tess architecture, threat model, runtime contract, registry, fleet command primitives, task record, and issue #707.
+- [x] Created clean worktree from `origin/main` at `e92186d7`.
+- [x] Security TDD tests written before implementation; initially failed because the transport/provider modules did not exist.
+- [x] Fleet transport and capability-limited provider implemented; read/list/attach and direct Tess write/control default to deny pending scope-aware authority adapters.
+- [x] Focused typecheck, lint, formatting, and abuse tests passed (transport: 7; provider: 14).
+- [x] Cold-cache forced workspace gates passed after reinstall; final workspace gates also passed.
+- [x] Independent Codex code and security reviews passed with no findings.
+
+## Verification Evidence
+
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic typecheck` — pass.
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/agent typecheck` — pass.
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic lint` — pass.
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/agent lint` — pass.
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- src/fleet/tmux-runtime-transport.test.ts` — 7 passed.
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/agent test -- src/tmux-fleet-runtime-provider.test.ts` — 14 passed.
+- The worktree dependency install must use `--store-dir /home/jarvis/.local/share/pnpm/store` because machine pnpm config points to an unreadable root-owned store. This is a local tool configuration issue, not an application workaround.
+
+## Documentation Checklist
+
+- [x] Canonical PRD and Tess architecture are current for this internal provider; no HTTP/API endpoint changed.
+- [x] `docs/tess/ARCHITECTURE.md` documents the internal fleet target/identity, read-only attach, and Mos authority boundary.
+- [x] No user/admin/API sitemap updates are applicable because no user-facing or HTTP API surface was introduced.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria to Evidence
+
+| Acceptance criterion | Evidence target |
+| --- | --- |
+| Only roster-bound exact targets are operated | Provider abuse tests prove unknown/prefix targets yield typed denial and runner is untouched. |
+| Socket and peer runtime identity are exact | Provider abuse tests prove wrong socket/no pane/runtime drift deny before send/attach/terminate. |
+| Message sends are capability-safe and exact | Tests assert the maintained sender receives only the configured socket and exact roster session. |
+| Fleet reads cannot cross an authority boundary | Tests prove list and read attach default-deny without a scope-aware read authority; per-target authority filtering is enforced. |
+| Attach cannot grant control or replay across scope | Tests deny `control`; attachment handles are random, scoped, short-lived, single-use for detach, and pruned after expiry. |
+| Termination is exact and caller cannot select arbitrary target | Tests assert roster/identity validation precedes exact `tmux kill-session -t =<agent>`. Gateway tests from M1-002 cover approval consumption. |
+| Documentation describes the boundary | `docs/tess/ARCHITECTURE.md` documents fleet capability, scope, and non-goals. |
+
+## Risks / Decisions
+
+- Runtime process identity can only be verified from the declared fleet roster and exact tmux pane command in M1. The tmux server itself is a trusted local transport boundary; stronger authenticated peer attestations are deferred to the Matrix/native provider.
+- The current roster schema does not encode per-agent tenant/owner. Scope-aware read/write authority adapters remain the integration point for gateway/Mos ownership policy; provider scope is bound to logical attachment handles to prevent replay.

+- Issue/milestone: #707 / M1
+- Branch: `fix/tess-command-authz`
+- Requirement: `TESS-SEC-002`, with approval binding controls from `TESS-SEC-007`
+- Scope: `apps/gateway` only, plus required in-repo security/developer documentation.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Locate the gateway command executor, command metadata, authorization context, and existing test conventions.
+2. Write abuse/authz tests before production changes. Expected red cases: non-admin blocked from admin/system command; forged caller scope cannot authorize; privileged/destructive action requires durable exact-action approval; expired/replayed/mutated approvals deny.
+3. Implement server-derived role/scope enforcement and durable approval validation/consumption with audit results.
+4. Run focused security tests, then repository baseline gates: typecheck, lint, format-check, test.
+5. Run independent security/code review, commit, queue-guard, push, and open the PR to `main` through the stated Gitea API fallback. Stop after PR creation.
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- The existing gateway persistence interface is the available durable approval boundary. If no persistence abstraction exists, a minimal injectable repository interface will be introduced rather than an in-memory approval implementation, because TESS-SEC-002/007 require durable enforcement.
+- “Exact action” is a canonical digest over structured command identity and normalized arguments; role/scope checks always use authenticated server context, not client-declared claims.
+
+## TDD evidence
+
+- Pending: abuse/authz test written and observed red before implementation.
+
+## Verification evidence
+
+- Pending.

+# Scratchpad — TESS-M1-SEC-004 Discord ingress
+
+- **Task / issue:** TESS-M1-SEC-004 / #707
+- **Branch:** `fix/tess-discord-ingress` from `origin/main` at `59e49cfd`
+- **Objective:** Authenticate the Discord plugin service at gateway ingress; enforce explicit guild/channel/user allowlists; attach Discord message and generated correlation IDs; reject replayed native message IDs.
+- **Scope:** `plugins/discord`, `apps/gateway`, and existing Discord admin/developer protocol docs.
+- **Budget:** Task estimate 28K; no explicit hard cap supplied.
+- **Assumptions:** The Discord plugin and gateway share an injected high-entropy `DISCORD_SERVICE_TOKEN`; a configured Discord plugin fails closed without it. Allowlist configuration is comma-separated Discord snowflakes. Discord native message ID is the replay key, with bounded in-memory retention pending the M2 durable inbox/idempotency work.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Add failing tests covering ingress service authentication/signing, unlisted guild/channel/user rejection, correlation propagation, and replay rejection.
+2. Implement the signed Discord ingress envelope and allowlist validation in the plugin.
+3. Authenticate and validate the envelope at the gateway boundary, then enforce bounded replay protection before agent dispatch.
+4. Document the service-token and allowlist operations; run focused and baseline gates; obtain independent review.
+
+## Progress
+
+- 2026-07-12: Intake complete; PRD TESS-SEC-005, architecture, and threat model reviewed.
+- Added service-token Socket.IO authentication, HMAC-signed Discord envelopes, default-deny guild/channel/user allowlists, correlated message metadata, bounded replay rejection, and fail-fast configuration checks.
+- Code and security reviews completed. Code review findings on service persistence ownership, package-boundary tests, disconnected ingress observability, and chat payload validation were remediated; final independent code review approved.
+
+## Risks / blockers
+
+- Existing `main` has known unrelated Prettier debt; only changed files will be held format-clean. Durable replay persistence is intentionally out of scope for this M1 prerequisite and belongs to TESS-M2 durable inbox/idempotency work.

+## Scope

+- Add a generic rostered/systemd Pi operator-interaction service in
+  `packages/mosaic/framework`.
+- Pin the service to `openai/gpt-5.6-sol`, high reasoning, and the
+  `operator-interaction` tool policy.
+- Keep identity as provisioning data; the product name appears only in the
+  committed example roster.
+
+## Security and Configuration Invariants
+
+1. The chosen display/roster name is supplied as data and must exactly match the
+   generic systemd instance.
+2. The service fails before launch if runtime, model, reasoning, or tool policy
+   differs from the pinned policy.
+3. Effective-policy output includes only name, runtime, model, reasoning, and
+   tool policy; it does not inspect or output credential variables.
+4. The default example is replaceable without a source change; the TDD suite
+   provisions `Nova` from the same profile.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- `src/fleet/tess-service-profile.test.ts` proves a `Nova` provisioning path,
+  roster parser/env serialization, effective-policy output, fail-fast drift
+  rejection, and absence of the product name from generic source/profile.
+- `test-fleet-units.sh` validates the generic interaction systemd unit requires
+  per-agent config and invokes fail-fast startup validation.
+- `test-start-agent-session.sh` proves the tool-policy value is exported into

+restart or context compaction without replaying a completed message or applied side effect.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Write recovery/idempotency tests first in `packages/agent/src/tess-durable-session.test.ts`.
+2. Add transport-neutral durable-state contracts/state machine in `packages/agent`.
+3. Add canonical PostgreSQL schema/migration and a gateway Drizzle repository adapter.
+4. Wire gateway service/module and reuse `tess:command-approval:*` durable approval semantics
+   for exact, actor/tenant/action-bound approval consumption.
+5. Test PGlite restart recovery with separate service instances sharing the same durable DB.
+6. Document the recovery/compaction operation and update Tess architecture evidence.
+7. Run focused, cold-cache, workspace, migration, review, commit, push, and open PR to `main`.
+
+## Required Evidence
+
+| Requirement | Primary evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| Restart recovery | Test creates a second coordinator over unchanged durable store after simulated process death. |
+| No duplicate side effects | Duplicate ingress and post-restart dispatch assert one handler/effect invocation. |
+| Compaction survival | Checkpoint/handoff/reconstructed state preserve the same session identity and pending records. |
+| Durable approvals | Existing `tess:command-approval` record is consumed only once and survives a new authorization service instance. |
+| Handoff | Stored handoff is portable and reconstructed without live process state. |

+- Affected surfaces: `packages/agent`, `apps/gateway`, `packages/db`; auth/authorization and DB migration tests required.
+- TDD is required (security authorization and critical state mutation).
+
+## Risks
+
+- An external provider action cannot be atomically committed with the database. The outbox
+  gives the receiver a stable idempotency key; generic recovery never replays an ambiguous
+  `processing` effect, and completed effects are never redispatched.
+- PostgreSQL is canonical; PGlite is the local/restart test implementation.
+
+## Verification
+
+- TDD red: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/agent test src/tess-durable-session.test.ts`
+  initially failed because the durable-state module did not exist.
+- Focused green: 7 agent state-machine tests; 6 PGlite repository tests (including
+  close/reopen recovery and encrypted-at-rest redaction); 5 durable-approval tests; DB migration tests.
+- Full cold-cache green: `pnpm turbo run typecheck lint test --force` completed
+  88 tasks with zero cache hits; `pnpm format:check` and `git diff --check` passed.
+- Fresh worktree dependency install passed with
+  `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --store-dir /home/jarvis/.local/share/pnpm/store`.
+  The default pnpm store path was inaccessible to this harness, so the explicit
+  user-owned store path was required.
+- Codex review identified plaintext durable payload risk; resolved by AES-256-GCM sealing
+  after redaction, with an at-rest ciphertext assertion in the PGlite suite.
+- Pending final clean review, commit, and PR.

+# TESS-M4-001 — Mos Coordination
+
+- **Issue/task:** #710 / TESS-M4-001
+- **Branch/base:** `feat/tess-mos-coordination` rebased onto `origin/main` `f1c6b37b`
+- **Budget assumption:** task estimate 25K; design-first and TDD, with package contract plus gateway boundary only.
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement a transport-neutral coordination contract allowing a configured interaction agent to hand off Mos-owned work, observe activity, and receive results while preventing it from gaining coding/general orchestration authority.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Document the contract and enforcement-point sketch; request Mos's decision on the initial concrete transport.
+2. Add `@mosaicstack/coord` typed handoff/observe/result contracts and denial errors.
+3. Add a gateway service which derives actor/tenant/requester identity from trusted context/configuration and validates authority.
+4. Add contract and gateway boundary tests for configurable identities, self-delegation, target drift, and cross-tenant read denial.
+5. Run focused, cold-cache, baseline tests; independent review; PR lifecycle.
+
+## Design checkpoint — 2026-07-12
+
+Created `docs/tess/MOS-COORDINATION.md`. Mos approved the design and selected the native in-process `InMemoryInteractionCoordinationPort` for M4. Fleet/tmux remains a documented M5 adapter seam; no Mos-side consumer is built in this task.
+
+## Progress checkpoint — 2026-07-13
+
+- Implemented `InteractionCoordinationPort` with handoff/observe/result only, an authority-checking client, and deterministic native adapter in `@mosaicstack/coord`.
+- Implemented the gateway `InteractionCoordinationService`, deriving requester identity from trusted configuration and actor/tenant/correlation from authenticated context.
+- Added contract and gateway boundary tests for configurable identities, native round-trip, unconfigured requester, self-delegation, target drift, and cross-tenant observe/result denial before adapter invocation.
+- Did not modify `apps/gateway/src/commands/command-authorization.service.ts`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/coord test` — PASS (16 tests after authority/idempotency remediation).
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/coord build` — PASS.
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/gateway test -- mos-coordination.service.test.ts` — PASS (7 tests after authority/idempotency remediation).
+- Standalone gateway typecheck initially reported missing built workspace packages after fresh worktree setup; root validation builds the workspace graph and passed.
+- `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm typecheck` — PASS (42 tasks, 0 cached).
+- `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm lint` — PASS (23 tasks, 0 cached after one import-type remediation).
+- `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm format:check` — PASS.
+- `TURBO_FORCE=true pnpm test` — PASS (42 tasks, 0 cached; expected existing integration skips only).
+
+## Review checkpoint
+
+- Codex code review found idempotency keys needed actor scope and concurrent retries needed an in-flight reservation; both were remediated with regression coverage.
+- Codex security review found whitespace-equivalent self-delegation was accepted by the exported client; identities are now normalized before invariant checks, with regression coverage.
+- Re-review added immutable payload comparison for idempotency reuse, runtime string/size validation, bounded TTL/capacity tracking for gateway and native adapter state, and fresh-correlation follow-up reads; targeted tests pass (16 coord / 7 gateway).
+- Final Codex security review found no issues. PR #735 was opened from commit `7936e15d`; Woodpecker pipeline #1752 is green.

+
+## Handoff
+
+Coder4's uncommitted implementation was preserved first in commit `5b99c821` before review.

+## Delivered boundary
+
+- `OperatorMemoryPlugin` exposes `capture`, `search`, `recent`, `stats`, and `startupContext` through `MemoryAdapter` only.
+- Scope is server-derived `{tenantId, ownerId, sessionId}`; adapter and namespace are configuration, not operation input.
+- Capture redacts before persistence and records configured instance/namespace/source provenance.
+- Wildcard retrieval is documented at the `MemoryAdapter` boundary and implemented by the keyword adapter.
+- Startup context uses a bounded 64-result candidate window, then prioritizes project and flat-file provenance before slicing the configured output limit.
+- No `Tess` identity is hardcoded in storage keys or defaults; tests use configured `Nova`.

 ## Session and State Model
 
 A Tess session has stable `sessionId`, `tenantId`, `ownerId`, provider/runtime identity, ingress bindings, cursor, checkpoint, inbox/outbox, and idempotency records. Discord and CLI bind to the same authorized session. Ownership is verified server-side on every list/read/attach/send/terminate operation.

+Valkey holds the existing short-lived, one-time command-approval records; PostgreSQL is canonical for durable session bindings, checkpoints, inbox/outbox, and idempotency. Pi session files are replay sources, not cross-agent truth.
+
+### M2 Durable Recovery
+
+`@mosaicstack/agent` owns a transport-neutral state machine and `apps/gateway` provides its
+PostgreSQL adapter. `interaction_sessions` holds immutable identity; inbox/outbox records use a
+per-session unique idempotency key and transition `pending → processing → processed|delivered`.
+Checkpoints are immutable history scoped by session and checkpoint ID: the latest checkpoint
+supports compaction recovery, while a handoff always resolves the exact checkpoint it references.
+Recovery requeues only interrupted inbox work; an ambiguous `processing` outbox record is preserved
+until separately authorized reconciliation can establish its external delivery state.
+
+Provider sends travel through the existing `RuntimeProviderService` with the persisted outbox
+idempotency key. A normal dispatch claims exactly one outbox record and verifies its stored
+correlation and channel against the server-derived request scope; it never requeues or drains
+another live record. Inbox/outbox payloads and checkpoint cursor/summary pass through the existing
+secret/PII redactor and AES-256-GCM sealing before persistence; decryption occurs only in the
+scoped gateway repository path, and runtime audit remains metadata-only.
+
+An external effect cannot share a database transaction. If a process dies after an effect begins
+but before its terminal outbox transition, automatic recovery does not replay that ambiguous claim.
+It remains `processing` until separately authorized reconciliation can establish delivery state;
+completed effects are never redispatched. Operators can therefore restart the gateway/Pi service,
+reconstruct the session, and resume pending inbox work without relying on process-local state.

Attach produces a short-lived handle bound to the immutable actor, tenant, channel, and correlation scope; it never opens a server-side terminal and rejects `control` mode. Fleet stream support is intentionally absent. Tess has no direct write/control authority: send and terminate default-deny until a Mos authority adapter explicitly allows the exact session and immutable scope.

+## Memory/retrieval slice — TESS-MEM-001
+
+Introduce a transport-neutral `OperatorMemoryPlugin` in `packages/memory`. The plugin receives a server-derived `{tenantId, ownerId, sessionId}` scope and delegates to a registered `MemoryAdapter`; adapter and namespace are injected configuration, never caller input. Its operations are `capture`, `search`, `recent`, `stats`, and `startupContext`. Results carry configured instance, provenance, and namespace metadata. Capture/redaction occurs before adapter persistence; startup context uses a bounded candidate window ordered so project/flat-file truth takes precedence within returned material.
+
+Registration remains replaceable-adapter based: the existing `registerMemoryAdapter(kind, factory)` / `createMemoryAdapter(config)` seam supplies the injected adapter to `createOperatorMemoryPlugin(config)`. Identity and namespace are configuration data; no interaction-agent name is embedded in keys or defaults.
+
+## Remaining plugin foundations — TESS-PLG-001
+
+- `packages/agent`: capability descriptors for runtime bootstrap, durable inbox/state hooks, and read-only fleet diagnostics. Each capability advertises supported operations and fails closed when absent.
+- `packages/mosaic`: a catalog/registration surface for GitOps, fleet diagnostics, runtime bootstrap, Discord, and MCP/skill discovery. Catalog entries describe authority, input schema, and safe/read-only status; they do not invoke provider transports directly.
+- Gateway/channel adapters consume these contracts through server-derived actor/tenant context and durable session state, preserving the replaceable-adapter boundary.
+
+## First implementation boundary
+
+The first PR slice should add the operator-memory plugin contract, configuration-injected adapter seam, scope isolation, provenance-bearing retrieval, and tests for namespace isolation plus a differently named configured instance. Durable inbox/outbox remains owned by the existing `DurableSessionCoordinator`; this plugin only supplies bounded context/capture at lifecycle boundaries.

+# Tess–Mos Coordination Contract Sketch
+
+**Task:** TESS-M4-001 · **PRD:** TESS-MOS-001 / AC-TESS-04
+
+## Boundary
+
+Agent identities are deployment data. A configured interaction agent may request
+Mos-owned work; the configured orchestration agent owns decomposition, worker
+assignment, reviews, and merge decisions. The interaction agent receives a
+correlated receipt, read-only activity projection, and terminal result. It has
+no dispatch, assignment, review, merge, or cancellation operation.
+
+## `@mosaicstack/coord` interface
+
+```ts
+interface CoordinationScope {
+  readonly actorId: string;
+  readonly tenantId: string;
+  readonly correlationId: string;
+  readonly requesterAgentId: string; // trusted gateway/configuration data
+}
+
+interface HandoffRequest {
+  readonly idempotencyKey: string;
+  readonly summary: string;
+  readonly context?: string;
+  readonly missionId?: string;
+}
+
+interface HandoffReceipt {
+  readonly handoffId: string;
+  readonly targetAgentId: string;
+  readonly status: 'accepted' | 'queued';
+  readonly correlationId: string;
+}
+
+interface Handoff {
+  readonly handoffId: string;
+  readonly targetAgentId: string;
+  readonly request: HandoffRequest;
+  readonly scope: CoordinationScope;
+}
+
+interface InteractionCoordinationPort {
+  handoff(handoff: Handoff): Promise<HandoffReceipt>;
+  observe(handoffId: string, scope: CoordinationScope): Promise<CoordinationObservation>;
+  result(handoffId: string, scope: CoordinationScope): Promise<CoordinationResult>;
+}
+```
+
+The port deliberately omits generic orchestrator verbs. It is tenant- and
+correlation-scoped; its gateway implementation obtains `actorId`, `tenantId`,
+and the requester agent from trusted authentication/configuration only.
+
+## HTTP routes
+
+`/api/coord/interaction` is the canonical HTTP coordination prefix for handoff, observe, and result. `/api/coord/mos` remains a backward-compatible alias with the same handlers and DTOs; new integrations use the neutral canonical prefix.
+
+## Enforcement point
+
+`apps/gateway` owns an `InteractionCoordinationService` (`apps/gateway/src/coord/interaction-coordination.service.ts`) boundary that compares the
+trusted configured requester/target identities and rejects all of the following
+before calling a transport: unconfigured requester, self-delegation, target
+identity drift, cross-tenant observe/result lookup, and attempts to observe or
+receive a result for a handoff outside the originating tenant. The service exposes handoff, observe,
+and result only, and delegates delivery to an injected adapter.
+
+M4 ships a native in-process `InMemoryInteractionCoordinationPort` as the concrete,
+deterministic adapter. It preserves the immutable handoff ID, tenant, requester
+identity, and correlation ID while demonstrating the handoff → observe → result
+round trip. It is a queue/port adapter, not a Mos-side consumer.
+
+A future fleet/tmux adapter is a documented M5 deployment seam and must
+implement the same `InteractionCoordinationPort`; no channel client or interaction
+runtime calls a transport directly.
+
+## Required tests
+
+1. A configured non-default interaction identity can hand off work to a
+   configured non-default orchestration identity and receive its result.
+2. The gateway passes only server-derived scope/identity to the adapter.
+3. Self-targeting, target drift, and cross-tenant observe/result all fail closed
+   without invoking the adapter.
+4. The exported public contract has no worker-dispatch, assignment, review,
+   merge, or cancellation capability.
+5. The native adapter round-trips queued work, activity, and a host-recorded
+   terminal result without a live fleet dependency.

-## Existing Findings That Block Tess
+## Closed Prerequisite Findings
 
-- Command executor lacks server-side enforcement for declared scopes.
-- Session list/reuse/destroy surfaces are not owner-filtered consistently.
-- MCP schemas accept caller-supplied user identity.
-- Discord plugin lacks a complete authenticated service ingress and user/channel allowlists.
-- Chat/tool persistence lacks mandatory redaction.
-- Sessions/pending Discord output are in-memory and not restart-safe.
-- Session GC currently performs globally scoped promotion.

Use `GET /api/interaction/{agentName}/sessions?provider=...` to list only visible runtime sessions, then enroll with `POST .../sessions/{sessionId}/enroll` body `{providerId,runtimeSessionId}`. Attach uses `{mode:"read"}`; send uses `{content,idempotencyKey}`. Stop requires `{approvalRef}` and fails with 403 without the exact durable approval. Recovery only requeues interrupted durable work.

+# TESS-HRM-001 — Hermes runtime adapter boundary
+
+## Normalized provider surface
+
+`HermesRuntimeProvider` implements the existing Mosaic-owned `AgentRuntimeProvider` unchanged. Its public surface is therefore `capabilities`, `health`, session list/tree, stream, send, attach/detach, and terminate, accepting only `RuntimeScope`, `RuntimeMessage`, `RuntimeSession`, `RuntimeStreamEvent`, and other types from `@mosaicstack/types`. Provider id is `runtime.hermes`.
+
+The provider receives a narrow injected `HermesRuntimeTransport`, whose method names and inputs may represent Hermes API operations but whose return values are explicitly private `HermesLegacy*` types defined only in `packages/agent/src/hermes-runtime-provider.ts`. Mapping functions convert those private values to Mosaic sessions, state, hierarchy, and stream events. Capability negotiation maps a supplied Hermes feature inventory onto the fixed Mosaic runtime capability vocabulary; no unknown/ambiguous legacy feature is advertised. Unsupported Mosaic operations throw the typed fail-closed `capability_unsupported` provider error before a transport call.
+
+## Boundary line
+
+**Hermes legacy schema ends at `HermesRuntimeTransport` and its private adapter-local `HermesLegacy*` definitions in `packages/agent`.** `packages/types` is never changed to contain a Hermes field, enum, identifier, session shape, status, or capability. `apps/gateway` registers/resolves the provider only through `AgentRuntimeProvider` and receives normalized values only. Identity remains server-derived `RuntimeScope` data and is passed to the injected transport as context, never reconstructed from a legacy response.
+
+## Initial mapping and safety posture
+
+- Hermes conversation/thread identifiers map to opaque Mosaic `RuntimeSession.id`; parent linkage maps only when a known parent exists.
+- Hermes status strings map through a closed lookup to `RuntimeSessionState`; unknown statuses become `failed`, never a permissive active state.
+- Legacy stream chunks map to `message.delta` / `message.complete`; malformed or unsupported events become a normalized `runtime.error` event.
+- Send, attach, and terminate require the normalized capability first. `terminate` continues to be approval-bound by the gateway service; the adapter does not weaken gateway authority.
+- Kanban, skills, memory, tools, and cron are capability-inventory entries for this transitional adapter, not additions to the core runtime contract. They are reported as explicitly unsupported until a Mosaic-owned capability contract exists.
