-## Architecture Rules
+### Package Map
 
-1. Gateway is the single API surface — all clients connect through it
+| Package            | Purpose                       | Key Dependencies                 |
-2. Pi SDK is ESM-only — gateway and CLI must use ESM
+| ------------------ | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
-3. Socket.IO typed events defined in `@mosaicstack/types` enforce compile-time contracts
+| `apps/gateway`     | NestJS API + WebSocket hub    | Fastify, Socket.IO, Pi SDK, OTEL |
-4. OTEL auto-instrumentation loads before NestJS bootstrap
+| `apps/web`         | Next.js dashboard             | React 19, Tailwind               |
-5. BetterAuth manages auth tables; schema defined in `@mosaicstack/db`
+| `packages/types`   | Shared TypeScript contracts   | class-validator                  |
-6. Docker Compose provides PG (5433), Valkey (6380), OTEL Collector (4317/4318), Jaeger (16686)
+| `packages/db`      | Drizzle schema and migrations | drizzle-orm, postgres            |
-7. Explicit `@Inject()` decorators required in NestJS (tsx/esbuild doesn't emit decorator metadata)
+| `packages/auth`    | BetterAuth configuration      | better-auth, @mosaicstack/db     |
+| `packages/brain`   | Structured data layer         | @mosaicstack/db                  |
+| `packages/queue`   | Valkey task queue and MCP     | ioredis                          |
+| `packages/coord`   | Mission coordination          | @mosaicstack/queue               |
+| `packages/mosaic`  | Unified `mosaic` CLI and TUI  | Ink, Pi SDK, commander           |
+| `plugins/discord`  | Discord channel plugin        | discord.js                       |
+| `plugins/telegram` | Telegram channel plugin       | Telegraf                         |
+
+## Architecture and Code Conventions
+
+1. Gateway is the single API surface; all clients connect through it.
+2. Pi SDK is ESM-only; gateway and CLI code must remain ESM.
+3. Use `"type": "module"`, NodeNext module resolution, and `.js` extensions in imports.
+4. Keep typed Socket.IO events in `@mosaicstack/types` to enforce client/server contracts.
+5. Import OTEL tracing before NestJS bootstrap (`import './tracing.js'`).
+6. Use explicit `@Inject()` decorators in NestJS because tsx/esbuild does not emit decorator metadata.
+7. Keep DTOs in `*.dto.ts` files at module boundaries.
+8. BetterAuth owns authentication tables; their schema is defined in `@mosaicstack/db`.
+9. Create a task-specific scratchpad for non-trivial work.
 
 ## Development Workflow
 
+Requirements: Node.js 20+, pnpm 10.6.2, and Docker Compose when optional local services are needed.
+
 ```bash
-docker compose up -d          # Infrastructure
+pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
-pnpm install                  # Dependencies
+pnpm preflight
-pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm format:check  # Quality gates
+
+# Optional local queue service only; do not start the full Compose stack.
+docker compose up -d valkey
 ```
 
-## Repo-Specific Notes
+The pre-push hook requires:
 
-- DTOs in `*.dto.ts` files at module boundaries
+```bash
-- ESM everywhere (`"type": "module"`, `.js` extensions in imports)
+pnpm preflight && pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm format:check
-- NodeNext module resolution in all tsconfigs
+```
-- Scratchpads are mandatory for non-trivial tasks
+
+Software delivery also requires the applicable tests. Common repository commands are:
+
+```bash
+pnpm typecheck     # TypeScript checks across the workspace
+pnpm lint          # ESLint across the workspace
+pnpm test          # Checkout tests and package Vitest suites
+pnpm format:check  # Prettier check
+pnpm build         # Build all packages and applications
+```
+
+## Database and Local Runtime Safety
+
+- Current local data-layer work uses in-process PGlite; leave `DATABASE_URL` unset.
+- PostgreSQL execution is held until KBN-101-00, KBN-101-03, and KBN-101-05 land.
+- Do not invoke a migration runner, initialization SQL, or the Compose PostgreSQL service from this checkout.
+- Do not start Gateway/Web or run root `pnpm dev` as a local PGlite route. The current dotenv loader can inherit a daemon PostgreSQL DSN; KBN-101-02 must make that path fail closed first.
+- Migration artifact generation is offline and does not authorize PostgreSQL access:
+
+```bash
+pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/db db:generate
+```

-### Fleet git identity launch propagation (#1043)
-
-#### Problem and objective
-
-A fleet seat can have a registered per-agent Git credential while its launched runtime process lacks
-`MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`. The credential resolver then cannot select the seat identity reliably, which
-blocks repository operations on fail-closed estates and can fall through to an unrelated identity on
-estates where that refusal is not active. The objective is to make Git identity a deterministic,
-roster-derived part of the generated launch projection and prove it reaches the launched process.
-
-#### Normative requirements
-
-1. `FGI-REQ-01`: Every generated fleet agent projection SHALL declare
-   `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=<MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME>`; a differing or unsafe identity SHALL fail closed before
-   tmux launch.
-2. `FGI-REQ-02`: The clean `/usr/bin/env -i` pane boundary SHALL pass every variable declared by the
-   generated projection, including `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`, to the launched runtime process.
-3. `FGI-REQ-03`: A behavioral integration test SHALL set-compare the complete generated projection
-   against the launched process environment. Source-text/string-presence assertions are insufficient.
-4. `FGI-REQ-04`: Verification SHALL include RED-first evidence and a delete-the-subject mutation that
-   removes Git-identity pane propagation and makes the behavioral test fail.
-
-#### Acceptance criteria
-
-1. `AC-FGI-01`: A launched seat process contains every key/value pair declared by its generated
-   environment projection, including the roster-derived Git identity.
-2. `AC-FGI-02`: Missing, unsafe, or split Git identity is rejected before a tmux session is created.
-3. `AC-FGI-03`: Focused launcher and generated-environment tests, repository quality gates,
-   independent review, and the required RED/green/R7 evidence are recorded before push.

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

+# CI Queue Guard Purpose Semantics
+
+- **Issue:** #1146
+- **Target branch:** `next`
+
+## Problem
+
+`ci-queue-wait.sh` treats any result other than terminal success as asserted non-readiness. That is correct for merge readiness, but incorrect for the pre-push queue guard: a terminal failure or an empty status set means no pipeline is queued or running, so the queue is clear.
+
+## Design
+
+Make final-state handling purpose-sensitive while preserving the existing provider and payload safeguards:
+
+- `--purpose push`
+  - wait while state is `pending`;
+  - return success for `terminal-success`, `terminal-failure`, and `no-status`;
+  - continue rejecting `malformed`, `unknown`, and unrecognized states.
+- `--purpose merge`
+  - return success only for `terminal-success`;
+  - continue rejecting `terminal-failure`, `no-status`, malformed, unknown, and unrecognized states.
+- `--require-status` remains authoritative: `no-status` fails for either purpose when it is supplied.
+
+Diagnostics will explicitly distinguish a queue-clear push result from successful CI so callers cannot mistake an old failure for a green pipeline.
+
+## Testing
+
+Extend the process-level tri-state regression harness with separate push and merge assertions:
+
+1. Push passes for terminal success, terminal failure, and no status.
+2. Push still fails for pending, malformed, and unknown states.
+3. `--require-status` makes push/no-status fail.
+4. Merge behavior remains fail-closed except for terminal success.
+5. Existing provider-unavailable audit behavior remains unchanged.

+# CI Queue Guard Purpose Semantics Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Make the pre-push CI queue guard pass when no pipeline is queued or running while preserving fail-closed merge readiness.
+
+**Architecture:** Keep provider lookup and tri-state classification unchanged. Make only the final state dispatch purpose-sensitive: push treats valid non-pending states as queue-clear, while merge continues to require terminal success. Preserve `--require-status`, malformed-payload rejection, unknown-state rejection, and audited provider-unavailable behavior.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Bash, process-level shell regression harnesses, Gitea/GitHub status APIs.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Freeze Purpose-Specific State Semantics
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh`
+- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh`
+
+**Step 1: Add failing push assertions**
+
+Change push expectations so `terminal-failure` and `no-status` require exit 0 plus an explicit `queue-clear` diagnostic. Add a `--require-status` assertion that keeps push/no-status non-zero.
+
+**Step 2: Add failing merge assertions**
+
+Invoke the same harness with `MOSAIC_TEST_PURPOSE=merge` and assert terminal failure and no status remain non-zero while terminal success remains zero.
+
+**Step 3: Add unknown-state coverage**
+
+Add a stub payload with a syntactically valid but unsupported status value and assert both purposes reject it.
+
+**Step 4: Run the focused test and verify RED**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
+```
+
+Expected: failures showing push terminal-failure and no-status returned exit 3 instead of exit 0 or lacked `queue-clear` diagnostics.
+
+**Step 5: Commit the failing tests**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
+git commit -m "test(ci): define purpose-aware queue readiness"
+```
+
+### Task 2: Implement Purpose-Sensitive Final-State Dispatch
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh:458-481`
+- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh`
+- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh`
+
+**Step 1: Implement push queue-clear behavior**
+
+For `no-status`, retain the existing `--require-status` failure. Otherwise, return success for push with an explicit diagnostic such as:
+
+```text
+[ci-queue-wait] queue-clear state=no-status purpose=push branch=<branch>; no queued or running CI.
+```
+
+For `terminal-failure`, return success only for push with the same queue-clear wording. Merge must continue returning asserted non-readiness.
+
+**Step 2: Preserve malformed and unknown rejection**
+
+Keep `malformed`, `unknown`, and unrecognized states non-zero for both purposes.
+
+**Step 3: Run focused tests and verify GREEN**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh
+```
+
+Expected: both scripts exit 0 and report their regression suites passed.
+
+**Step 4: Commit implementation**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh
+git commit -m "fix(ci): separate push queue clearance from merge readiness"
+```
+
+### Task 3: Verify, Review, and Document Evidence
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `docs/scratchpads/1146-ci-queue-purpose.md`
+
+**Step 1: Run shell syntax and focused regressions**
+
+```bash
+bash -n packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh
+bash -n packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh
+```
+
+**Step 2: Run repository quality gates**
+
+```bash
+pnpm preflight
+pnpm typecheck
+pnpm lint
+pnpm test
+pnpm format:check
+```
+
+Expected: every command exits 0.
+
+**Step 3: Obtain independent review**
+
+Request review of the exact branch head. Remediate all blocking findings and rerun focused and baseline gates.
+
+**Step 4: Record evidence and commit**
+
+Update the scratchpad with test output, review result, and residual risk, then commit it:
+
+```bash
+git add docs/scratchpads/1146-ci-queue-purpose.md
+git commit -m "docs(ci): record queue guard verification"
+```
+
+### Task 4: Keep the Merge Wrapper Aligned with the `next` Lane
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-merge.sh:97-101`
+- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-head-pin.sh`
+
+**Step 1: Write the failing regression**
+
+Run the exact-head merge regression with its Gitea fixture targeting `next` and confirm the current wrapper rejects it because it only permits `main`.
+
+**Step 2: Allow only documented integration targets**
+
+Permit `main` and `next`; reject every other target. Do not alter exact-head pinning, queue-guard invocation, provider selection, or merge method enforcement.
+
+**Step 3: Run focused merge regressions**
+
+```bash
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-head-pin.sh
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-queue-branch.sh
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-gitea-empty-uid.sh
+```
+
+Expected: all pass, including a Gitea merge fixture targeting `next`.
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-merge.sh packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-head-pin.sh
+git commit -m "fix(ci): allow reviewed merges into next"
+```
+
+### Task 5: Activate and Deliver Through `next`
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Installed output: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh`
+
+**Step 1: Activate through the canonical installer**
+
+From the reviewed worktree, run the framework installer in sync-only keep mode so operator files remain protected:
+
+```bash
+MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY=1 MOSAIC_INSTALL_MODE=keep MOSAIC_SKIP_SKILLS_SYNC=1 \
+  bash packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh
+```
+
+**Step 2: Verify installed/source parity**
+
+```bash
+cmp -s \
+  packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh \
+  ~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh
+```
+
+Expected: exit 0.
+
+**Step 3: Run mandatory pre-push queue guard**
+
+```bash
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose push -B fix/1146-ci-queue-purpose
+```
+
+Expected: branch-absent or queue-clear success.
+
+**Step 4: Push and open a PR against `next`**
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin fix/1146-ci-queue-purpose
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/pr-create.sh \
+  -t "fix(ci): make queue guard purpose-sensitive" \
+  -b "Closes #1146" \
+  -B next \
+  -H fix/1146-ci-queue-purpose \
+  -i 1146
+```
+
+**Step 5: Complete reviewed integration**
+
+Wait for exact-head terminal-green CI, obtain the required review, merge via the Mosaic wrapper, verify merged CI, and close #1146. Do not bypass any gate.

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

-2. Add roster-derived `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=<agent name>` to the complete generated projection contract.
-3. Validate identity syntax and equality with `MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME`; pass it through the clean pane environment.
-4. Update affected projection tests and generated-environment docs.
-5. Run focused and baseline gates.
-6. Perform R7 by deleting the pane propagation entry, prove RED, restore, and prove GREEN.
-7. Run independent review, remediate, commit, queue guard, one push, self-post PR, verify provider attribution, and stop without CI polling.

-## Budget
-
-No explicit token cap was provided. Working cap: one narrow logical unit, no dependency installation unless existing tooling requires it, no unrelated refactor.
-
-## Evidence log
-
-### TDD and mutation evidence
-
-- RED-first, repository launcher: `bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/test-start-agent-session.sh` exited 64 on pre-fix source with `code=unknown-key key=MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`. The generated seat could not launch with the required declared identity.
-- GREEN: the same repository launcher test emitted `ok - start-agent-session generated environment boundary`.
-- R7 delete-the-subject: removed only `"MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=$MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY"` from the repository launch array; the same test exited 1 with `FAIL: runtime pane omitted or changed generated environment keys: MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`.
-- R7 restoration: restored that launch entry; the same test returned green.
-- Launcher under test is explicitly `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/start-agent-session.sh` through the test's `$START`, **not** the stale installed host copy.
-
-### Situational and focused tests
-
-- Repository launcher boundary: green, including set comparison of all nine generated projection entries and fail-before-tmux cases for missing, unsafe, mismatched, and local-shadow Git identity.
-- Fleet systemd launcher integration: `bash packages/mosaic/framework/systemd/user/test-fleet-units.sh` — green.
-- Focused Mosaic Vitest set: 6 files, 311 tests — green.
-- `bash -n` on changed shell files — green.
-- `git diff --check` — green.
-
-### Baseline gates
-
-- `pnpm typecheck` — 45/45 tasks green.
-- `pnpm lint` — 25/25 tasks green.
-- `pnpm format:check` — green.
-- `pnpm test:checkout` — green.
-- Repository-wide Vitest under a hermetic current-version npm prefix: Mosaic 81/81 files and 1510/1510 tests green; other workspace test tasks shown green before the framework-shell phase.
-- Canonical `pnpm test` is not fully green on this host for unrelated environment-sensitive gates:
-  1. the first two runs exposed the globally installed Mosaic 0.0.48 update banner in three CLI smoke tests expecting empty stderr;
-  2. after isolating that global-version input, the framework wake assertion aborted at the known `#973` Bash `BASH_LINENO` convention check (exit 97; observed `[3 5]`, expected `[3 4]`).
-  No tests were weakened or bypassed; focused changed-surface tests are green. CI remains the canonical clean-environment result and is intentionally not polled after push per charter.
-
-### Independent review
-
-- Codex code review first pass: request changes for missing shell rejection-path coverage.
-- Remediation: added table-driven missing/unsafe/mismatch/local-shadow launcher cases, each asserting no tmux call.
-- Codex code re-review: **approve**, no findings, confidence 0.88.
-- Codex security review: risk `none`, no findings, confidence 0.97.
-
-### Acceptance criteria mapping

-| AC-FGI-01: launched process receives every generated key/value | Repository launcher process-environment `comm -23` set comparison; GREEN and R7 RED evidence above |
-| AC-FGI-02: missing, unsafe, or split identity fails before tmux | Table-driven shell cases plus TypeScript generated-boundary tests |
-| AC-FGI-03: focused/baseline/review evidence recorded | Commands and review outcomes above; host-sensitive full-suite limitations stated explicitly |
-
-### Documentation checklist

-## Round 2 — PR #1073 review 97 remediation
-
-### Review blocker
-
-The launched-process suite was signed-excluded from CI enumeration. Manual GREEN/R7 evidence therefore did not prove a PR workflow could detect regression.
-
-### RED-first and canonical wiring
-
-1. Removed the suite's signed exclusion before adding a CI execution path.
-2. `check-test-enumeration.sh` went RED with exact `UNENUMERATED` output for `test-start-agent-session.sh`: population 49, enumerated 30, excluded 18.
-3. Added both `framework/tools/fleet/test-start-agent-session.sh` and `framework/systemd/user/test-fleet-units.sh` to `@mosaicstack/mosaic`'s canonical `test:framework-shell` chain.
-4. The guard returned GREEN: population 49, enumerated 32, excluded 18, surfaces 45. The systemd suite is outside the guard's tools-only population but now has the same explicit canonical execution disposition.

-- Deleted only the pane launch entry `"MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=$MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY"`.
-- Ran the exact `.woodpecker/ci.yml` test-step command, `pnpm test`, with only a temporary PATH-scoped npm shim reporting the checkout's current 0.0.49 version so the unrelated global 0.0.48 banner could not preempt the shell chain.
-- Result: exit 1 at `@mosaicstack/mosaic#test`, with the enumeration guard GREEN followed by `FAIL: runtime pane omitted or changed generated environment keys: MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`.
-- Restored the launch entry. The canonical `test:framework-shell` chain then reached both newly wired suites and printed both GREEN markers before the known unrelated #973 host-only `BASH_LINENO` abort.
-- An actual provider PR workflow on the intentionally broken mutant is **NOT MEASURED**: the one-push constraint forbids pushing a red mutant and then a repaired head. Local execution proves the exact PR workflow command and dependency chain go RED on the subject deletion; CI on the repaired pushed head remains canonical.
-
-### Workflow population
-
-- **DEFINED:** 3 workflows (`ci.yml`, `ci-image.yml`, `publish.yml`).
-- **ELIGIBLE for `pull_request`:** 1/3 (`ci.yml`), based on top-level `when:` clauses.
-- **REPORTED:** Round-1 exact-head provider read reported 1/1 eligible context (`ci/woodpecker/pr/ci`). Post-remediation-head reported count is **NOT MEASURED** by this seat because CI polling is prohibited; workflow definitions and eligibility did not change.
-
-### Independent remediation review
-
-- First Round-2 review identified a CI-image blocker: the newly wired launcher suite used Perl, which the Alpine CI base does not install.
-- Replaced the suite's three Perl-only fixture mutations with POSIX/BusyBox-compatible `sed -i` substitutions; production behavior and assertions are unchanged.
-- Codex re-review: **APPROVE**, confidence 0.93, no findings.
-
-### Vitest denominator reconciliation
-
-The PR's `311/311` is correct for its explicitly named six-file command at both the original and remediation worktrees:
-
-- generated environment boundary: 24
-- fleet documentation: 23
-- Tess service profile: 6
-- fleet regen command: 27
-- fleet agent CRUD command: 22
-- fleet command: 209
-- total: **311**
-
-Review 97 reported 312/312 without naming its six files. That is a different or miscounted population and cannot replace the command-scoped 311 denominator; the PR follow-up will name the exact files and arithmetic.
-
-## Round 3 — Alpine stale-marker portability
-
-### Objective and plan
-
-- Replace the GNU-only relative-date fixture with a deterministic POSIX/BusyBox timestamp while preserving the required stale-marker assertion.
-- Re-run the launcher suite in the canonical `ci-base:latest` Alpine image, then run applicable repository gates and independent review.
-- Update the PR body to name the repeated GNU-host/Alpine-CI portability pattern, run the mandatory queue guard, push once, verify provider attribution, and stop without CI polling.
-- Working budget: 8K tokens; scope is one fixture line plus delivery evidence. No production behavior changes.
-
-### RED-first evidence
-
-Before the fix, the canonical CI image command
-`docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" -w /work git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/ci-base:latest bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/test-start-agent-session.sh`
-exited 1 at the stale-marker setup with exact BusyBox output
-`touch: invalid date '10 seconds ago'`. The prior fresh-marker assertions had already executed, matching pipeline 2233's failure location.
-
-### Root cause and fix
-
-The test used GNU `touch -d` relative-date parsing although the PR workflow runs on Alpine/BusyBox. The fixture now uses POSIX `touch -t 200001010000.00`, a fixed timestamp that is unconditionally stale; the stale assertion remains mandatory and was not made tolerant of missing timestamp metadata.
-
-### Structural pattern
-
-This is the third GNU-host/Alpine-CI portability defect in the lane: GNU `grep` multi-match counting, Perl-only fixture mutation, and GNU `touch -d` date parsing. The repeated cause is shell suites authored on a GNU host but executed in an Alpine CI image; durable prevention belongs in CI-image execution or portability lint, not assertion weakening.
-
-### GREEN and quality evidence
-
-- Focused launcher suite in `ci-base:latest`: exit 0, `ok - start-agent-session generated environment boundary`.
-- Canonical test step in `ci-base:latest` with the pipeline's `pgvector/pgvector:pg17` service, readiness check, migration, and `pnpm test`: exit 0; 46/46 Turbo tasks; Mosaic 81/81 files and 1510/1510 tests; Gateway 57 passed/5 skipped files and 629 passed/11 skipped tests; enumeration 49 population / 32 enumerated / 18 signed exclusions / 45 named surfaces.
-- The first image-only `pnpm test` attempt lacked the pipeline PostgreSQL service and failed only on connection refusal after the launcher suite was GREEN. The rerun supplied the canonical service precondition and passed.
-- Canonical-image baseline: typecheck 45/45 tasks, lint 25/25 tasks, format check GREEN; `git diff --check` GREEN.
-- Independent Codex code review: APPROVE, confidence 0.96, 2/2 Round-3 files, no findings.
-- Independent Codex security review: risk none, confidence 0.99, 2/2 Round-3 files, no findings.
-
-### Re-derived inventory and denominators
-
-- Round-3 git delta: **2/2 files** — launcher suite and task scratchpad; 25 insertions / 1 deletion before evidence finalization.
-- Full PR path inventory against `origin/main` at `85d2108e`: **19/19 changed paths**; Round 3 adds no new PR path.
-- Workflow definition population: **1/3 pull-request-eligible** (`ci.yml` of `ci.yml`, `ci-image.yml`, `publish.yml`).
-- Do not re-litigate the settled 311/312 populations; both are valid for their separately named Tess6 and CRUD-core7 sets.
-
-## Round 4 — bound stale-marker observation
-
-### Objective and plan
-
-- Make the heartbeat assertion discriminate an initially stale native marker from a fresh marker without changing the production staleness threshold or shortening the polling window.
-- Freeze only the sidecar's numeric observation clock during the stale-fixture arm so elapsed assertion time cannot turn a fresh mutant stale.
-- Prove two independent mutants RED: disable production stale-marker detection while retaining the stale fixture; replace the stale fixture with a fresh marker. Restore the tree and prove GREEN in the canonical Alpine image.
-- Re-derive the changed-path inventory, run applicable quality and independent review gates, commit with environment-only author/committer identity, queue-guard, push once, verify provider attribution using curl stdin config, and stop without CI polling.
-- Working budget: 8K tokens. Scope is the launcher test and its scratchpad evidence; production launcher behavior remains unchanged.
-
-### Root cause and bounded observation
-
-The 30 × 0.1-second assertion window overlaps the production `now - marker > interval * 2 + 1` threshold at interval 1. Depending on second boundaries and load, a fresh marker can age past the threshold before the assertion ends. A focused pre-fix fresh-mutant attempt returned RED while Review 101's full-suite run returned GREEN; the differing result is itself timing dependence, not a discriminating assertion.
-
-The test now supplies a fixed numeric epoch only to the stale-fixture sidecar. Its real marker mtime is still read from the filesystem, but assertion runtime cannot advance `now`. Date formatting still delegates to the image's real `/bin/date`. Neither the production threshold nor the 30 × 0.1-second polling window changed.
-
-### Two-mutant RED / restored GREEN
-
-All three runs used `git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/ci-base:latest`:
-
-1. **Stale-detection mutant RED:** replaced only the production stale-age predicate with `false` while retaining the fixed stale marker; suite exit 1 with `FAIL: heartbeat sidecar did not resume after native marker became stale or absent`.
-2. **Fresh-marker mutant RED:** replaced only `touch -t 200001010000.00` with fresh `touch`; suite exit 1 with the same failed stale-resumption assertion. The fixed observation epoch kept the mutant fresh throughout all 30 polls.
-3. **Restored tree GREEN:** suite exit 0 with `ok - start-agent-session generated environment boundary`.
-
-### Re-derived inventory
-
-- Round-4 delta: **2/2 files** — launcher test plus task scratchpad; production launcher delta is empty.
-- Full PR inventory against `origin/main`: **19/19 paths**; Round 4 adds no path.
-- Production stale threshold remains `now - marker > iv * 2 + 1`; assertion polling remains 30 × 0.1 seconds.
-- Review 101's confirmed enumeration/workflow/CI and attribution evidence is accepted without re-polling or re-derivation.
-
-## Residual risk
-
-- Landing on `main` does not update the currently installed host launcher. Host framework installation/reseed and Jarvis live-seat validation are separate downstream events.
-- Canonical CI result is pending and will not be polled by this seat.

+# #1146 — CI Queue Guard Purpose Semantics
+
+## Objective
+
+Make the pre-push queue guard wait for queued/running CI without requiring the previous remote head to have successful CI. Preserve fail-closed merge readiness.
+
+## Scope
+
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh`
+- focused queue-guard regression tests
+- design and scratchpad documentation
+- local framework activation required before the fixed guard can authorize this branch's push
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Freeze purpose-specific behavior in failing process-level tests.
+2. Implement the smallest state-dispatch change.
+3. Run focused shell tests and repository quality gates.
+4. Obtain independent review and remediate findings.
+5. Install the reviewed framework source locally, run the mandatory pre-push queue guard, and push.
+6. Open a PR against `next`, verify terminal-green CI, and close #1146 after merge.
+
+## Budget
+
+- ASSUMPTION: no explicit token cap was provided.
+- Working estimate: 12K tokens.
+- Scope reduction: change only final-state dispatch and focused tests; do not redesign provider adapters.
+
+## Progress
+
+- Confirmed source and installed guards are byte-identical.
+- Reproduced `terminal-failure` blocking `--purpose push`.
+- Root cause: final-state dispatch requires terminal success for both push and merge.
+- Design approved: push is queue-clear on valid non-pending states; merge remains fail-closed.
+
+## Tests
+
+- RED confirmed before implementation: the focused tri-state harness reported push `terminal-failure` and `no-status` as `ASSERTED_NOT_READY`.
+- GREEN: `bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh` — all outcome classes passed.
+- GREEN: `bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh` — 6/6 purpose-aware cases passed.
+- GREEN: `bash -n` passed for the changed guard and both focused harnesses.
+- GREEN: `pnpm preflight`, `pnpm typecheck`, and `pnpm lint` passed.
+- `pnpm test` ran 45/46 workspace test tasks successfully, but the pre-existing Gateway `cross-user-isolation.test.ts` failed during cleanup with PostgreSQL error `28P01` (local `mosaic` password authentication failure). The changed Mosaic framework test task passed within that run.
+- GREEN: focused queue and merge shell regressions passed after the wrapper change.
+- GREEN: isolated Mosaic Vitest run passed (81 files, 1,514 tests).
+- The normal parallel Mosaic Vitest run has an environment-sensitive pre-existing failure in `install-ordering-guard.spec.ts`: the real activation probe changes between two calls while other suites run concurrently. Running the same spec alone and the complete Vitest suite with one fork passes.
+- The framework shell suite's pre-existing `version_coupling_unittest.py` also fails locally because the newly installed `mosaic` is now on PATH despite the test injecting a nonexistent PATH; CI's clean image does not have this global CLI. All changed queue/merge harnesses pass.
+- GREEN: `pnpm format:check` passed.
+- Note: an additional ad hoc Prettier command was not applicable to shell files because Prettier has no shell parser; the repository-wide format check passed using its configured file globs.
+
+## Review
+
+- Independent Codex review of the six-file diff: approved, confidence 0.84, zero blockers/should-fix/suggestions.
+- Review confirmed push queue-clear behavior, merge fail-closed behavior, and `--require-status` coverage.
+
+## Risks and Blockers
+
+- Canonical framework activation completed with `MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY=1 MOSAIC_INSTALL_MODE=keep MOSAIC_SKIP_SKILLS_SYNC=1 bash packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh`.
+- Source and installed queue guards are byte-identical (`cmp` and SHA-256 parity passed).
+- The installed pre-push guard now passes for the not-yet-remote feature branch with `queue clear`.
+- The required merge wrapper then exposed a second bootstrap defect: `pr-merge.sh` hardcoded `main`, contradicting the documented PR-based `next` integration lane. Tracked as #1149 and fixed in the same delivery branch with a regression fixture targeting `next`.
+- Activation emitted the existing manifest-safety warning that six `fleet/run/*.hb*` operator files were touched then restored; no data loss was observed, but this remains a pre-existing framework-manifest defect to report separately.
+- The first activation attempt timed out after 600 seconds while copying the 113K-file operator snapshot; the bounded 1,800-second retry completed successfully. It left a partial durable snapshot from the interrupted attempt in the normal backup directory; the completed snapshot is the newer `pre-update-20260810T195317Z` entry.
+- Full baseline test completion is blocked by the unrelated local PostgreSQL authentication/cleanup failure described above; CI has its own disposable PostgreSQL service.
+- Existing `.mosaic/orchestrator/*` working-tree changes are unrelated and must remain unstaged.

+# Scratchpad — FED-M3-06 get verb
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement `POST /api/federation/v1/get/:resource/:id` for M3 inbound federation reads.
+
+## Scope
+
+- `apps/gateway/src/federation/server/verbs/get.controller.ts`
+- `apps/gateway/src/federation/server/verbs/get-query.service.ts`
+- Unit coverage for controller pipeline + query service RBAC guardrails
+- Register controller/service in `FederationModule`
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Mirror the list verb pipeline: `FederationAuthGuard` → `FederationScopeService` → read-only query service.
+2. Return one `_source: "local"` tagged item on success.
+3. Return federation error envelopes:
+   - `404 not_found` when the resource id does not exist.
+   - `403 scope_violation` when the row exists but falls outside native RBAC/scope intersection.
+   - `400 invalid_request` for malformed ids/scope requests.
+4. Keep read audit persistence deferred to M4; no body or response persistence in M3.
+
+## Verification Evidence
+
+- Rebased onto `origin/main` at `86e106fcc9a1dfa3a18f7846bb477be128794aad` after M3-05 merged; resolved `FederationModule` by registering both list and get verb controllers/services.
+- Review-change coverage added for comment 15971:
+  - get note access now requires subject ownership AND authorized mission intersection.
+  - missing federation context returns structured `401 unauthorized` envelope.
+  - unsupported get resources fail closed with structured denial.
+  - PGlite regressions cover cross-user note exclusion and subject-note unauthorized-mission exclusion.
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/gateway test -- src/federation/server/verbs/__tests__/get.controller.spec.ts src/federation/server/verbs/__tests__/get-query.service.spec.ts` — pass (2 files / 17 tests; re-run after review changes).
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/gateway build` — pass (re-run after review changes).
+- `pnpm build` — pass (23 successful tasks before review changes).
+- `pnpm typecheck` — pass (41 successful tasks; re-run after review changes).
+- `pnpm lint` — pass (23 successful tasks; re-run after review changes).
+- `pnpm format:check` — pass (re-run after review changes).
+- `~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/codex-code-review.sh --uncommitted` — approve, 0 findings after review changes.
