 The fixed application/runtime schema is **`mosaic`**. Every application/runtime pooled connection executes and verifies exactly `SET search_path TO pg_catalog, mosaic` before its first application query; connection checkout repeats this after reset/reconnect. Transactional application operations use `SET LOCAL search_path TO pg_catalog, mosaic` and verify it before query execution. `public` and `$user` are forbidden in all runtime paths.

 ## 5. Deployable verified-TLS bootstrap
 
 `mosaicstack/stack` is the named repository/control plane. Ownership is intentionally non-overlapping: **KBN-101-00 exclusively owns** the versioned external bootstrap interface `infra/pg-bootstrap/roles.sql`, `infra/pg-bootstrap/extensions.sql`, and `infra/pg-bootstrap/README.md`, plus its bootstrap tests—roles, extension-owner transition, and no renderer/deployment manifests. **KBN-101-05 exclusively owns** `tools/db/render-postgres-secrets.ts`, its tests, the current `docker-compose.yml`, `docker-compose.federated.yml`, `deploy/portainer/federated-test.stack.yml`, `tools/federation-harness/docker-compose.two-gateways.yml`, and `apps/gateway/Dockerfile`; it consumes the versioned KBN-101-00 bootstrap interface and owns no bootstrap SQL. The named **Mosaic deployment control plane / Jason** is activation authority; the environment-specific IaC/Vault owner supplies only approved input secret versions and may not substitute an unreviewed current-repository artifact. The KBN-101-05 renderer is the only deployment handoff: it reads secret-provider references, validates owners/modes/digests/SANs, writes each output atomically (`mkstemp` on the target tmpfs, `fsync`, `chmod`/`chown`, atomic rename), and records only secret-version identifiers and hashes.

 `KBN-101-05` changes the Gateway image to fixed non-root `USER 10001:10001`, the importer image to fixed non-root `USER 10002:10002`, and the migrator process to fixed non-root `USER 10003:10003`; image and renderer tests freeze every UID:GID. A root-only migrator launch wrapper may open the private signing key before dropping to `10003:10003`, but the migrator process never regains root. Gateway CA and Gateway leaf-certificate mounts, and its own Gateway private key only when it terminates its HTTPS listener, must be readable by `10001:10001`; PostgreSQL private keys and migration-only material are never mounted there, and no secret is world-readable. PostgreSQL is not assigned a guessed UID/GID: its image must first be pinned by digest, and an image-inspection plus rendered Compose/Swarm test freezes the image's effective PostgreSQL UID:GID before the renderer selects mount owner/group. A digest, service UID/GID, rendered secret `uid`/`gid`/`mode`, or container `USER` mismatch is a KBN-101-05 failure. Mosaic applications never generate, self-sign, copy, or persist production certificates; the external bootstrap actor receives them only through the deployment secret mechanism and no plaintext development exception exists for production-like modes.

 **Authority:** Mosaic control plane/Jason is the sole activation and rollback authority. CI, Gateway, migrator, Coordinator, and Certifier cannot activate, waive a red result, or force release. Before an incompatible KBN-100 switch, the authority stops/scales runtime, uses the approved backup/restore or separately reviewed runner artifact, restores only a known TLS-compatible runtime with its runtime secret after `hostssl` enforcement, and verifies no plaintext sessions plus TLS/readiness. Migration URL is never injected into Gateway to enable rollback. KBN-100 starts only after KBN-101-08; KBN-105 starts only after KBN-101-09.

+
+**Ratification status:** RATIFIED — part of the frozen SSOT as of this PR (KBN-101 Envelope A, landed **FORM A — apply-in-place**). This is the converged **v6** envelope, ratified as the authoritative record of the **rc.20** contract amendment now inlined into [`KBN-101-DB-ROLE-SPLIT.md`](./KBN-101-DB-ROLE-SPLIT.md) §4/§10, [`SHARED-CONTRACT.md`](./SHARED-CONTRACT.md) (`### 1.0.0-rc.20`), and [`MISSION-MANIFEST.md`](./MISSION-MANIFEST.md) §10.

+**Ratification lineage (authoritative):** Jason B1 ruling (2026-07-20T23:08Z) + Mos coordinator **OPTION A** (home the layer) + **Mos Q1** ruling (TIER-LEVEL) + **Mos Q2** ruling (RLS `WITH CHECK` AUTHORIZED, two mandatory conditions — `ENABLE`/`FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` as the terminal migration step, and non-owner rung roles) + **Gate A** (`a11a1e2c`) + **Gate B** (`a6aac2cd`).
+
+> **Ratification note.** The sections below are the converged v6 envelope text, retained **VERBATIM** for traceability. Their design-time framing — e.g. "**Scope:** DESIGN / CONTRACT-AMENDMENT only. No implementation code, no PRs, no SSOT edits." and "**Base:** … this doc modifies nothing there." — describes the envelope as originally authored against base `b0d78d86`. As of this PR that rc.20 amendment is **ratified and applied in-place (FORM A)** to the frozen SSOT; the design-time "no SSOT edits" wording is historical authoring context, not a live constraint on this ratified record. The Ratification lineage above is authoritative.

+**Status:** v6 envelope (design / contract-amendment), FINAL. **v6 = v5 + N1/N2/F-NB4 non-blocking test/lint/cert hardening ONLY; NO design predicate/policy/grant/role/table change.** v5 CONVERGED — BOTH terminal re-gate-4 gates returned GO (Gate A-delta-4 `a4ce075a`; Gate B-delta-4 `a379e0de`), NO HALT; Gate B-delta-4 flagged 3 EXPLICITLY NON-BLOCKING hardening notes "for the trunk-commit record," and v6 folds exactly those 3 as additive test/lint/cert wording on an already-BOTH-GO design: **N1** (strengthen the `pg_policy.polpermissive` lint — group by effective role incl. `PUBLIC`/inheritance; reject an internally-disjunctive single `WITH CHECK`; behavioral positive-controls remain the PRIMARY proof), **N2** (state the option-(b) vacuous-deny guard invariant — ≥1 permissive policy per writable (rung, command)), and **F-NB4** (extend owner non-reachability to SET-ROLE assumability — conjoin the `MEMBER` variant of `pg_has_role`). No design predicate, policy, grant, role, or table is changed. v6 supersedes v5 (`a6e790fd`), which supersedes v4 (`a48ad69c`). Preserves EVERY verified v4 closure (all checks passed on v4 EXCEPT one bounded item) and closes the SINGLE remaining BLOCKING finding raised identically by BOTH re-gate-3 gates (Gate A-delta-3 `aa5cbf73` = CHANGES-NEEDED; Gate B-delta-3 `aa881074` = 1 blocking): the **RLS `WITH CHECK` composition semantics** — v4's construction is right but it justifies the composition with a FALSE PostgreSQL claim ("PostgreSQL requires ALL applicable `WITH CHECK` clauses to pass / they AND") and leaves the _realization_ unspecified, so an implementation could realize the status-pin, the workspace-bind, and the override as SEPARATE PERMISSIVE policies which combine with **OR** (not AND) → a foreign-workspace INSERT satisfying only the status-pin would be admitted (B2-INSERT / B-1 re-open). v5 (a) corrects the semantics, (b) **mandates** the composition be realized as a SINGLE compound `WITH CHECK` OR as `AS RESTRICTIVE` policies and **explicitly forbids** the multi-permissive-intended-to-AND realization, and (c) hardens the red-first negatives to an otherwise-valid row + adds a positive-control. It also folds Gate B-delta-3's NB-4-transitive nit (state owner non-reachability as TRANSITIVE membership). This is a PRECISE, LIGHT revision: every v4 closure (3-rung ladder / zero per-user; F1–F7; GA-1/3/4; B-1/B-2/B-3; B2-INSERT workspace bind itself; N-1..N-5; AD-1/AD-2; NB-1..NB-5; continuous -06 scan + L174 GUC fold; rc.20) carries forward intact. Prior rc.18/rc.19 evidence does NOT carry.
+**Authoring authority:** Jason B1 ruling (2026-07-20T23:08Z) + Mos coordinator **OPTION A** (home the layer) + **Mos Q1 ruling (TIER-LEVEL)** + **Mos Q2 ruling (RLS `WITH CHECK` AUTHORIZED, two mandatory conditions)**. No new coordinator authority is required for v5: the composition fix is a DDL-realization detail + corrected PostgreSQL-semantics statement + test-wording hardening entirely inside the already-authorized `WITH CHECK`/`FORCE RLS` mechanism (Q2); it introduces no new principal, key, or authority axis. **Both delta-3 gates independently confirmed the per-user/same-tier boundary HOLDS** (the crit-1 defect is a TENANT-ISOLATION correctness risk, NOT a per-user authority axis).
+**Base:** frozen SSOT at `b0d78d86`, `/src/mosaic-stack/docs/native-kanban-sot/` (READ-ONLY; this doc modifies nothing there).
+**Scope:** DESIGN / CONTRACT-AMENDMENT only. No implementation code, no PRs, no SSOT edits.
+
+**HALT self-check result (re-run for v5): NO HALT.** No v5 change forces two SAME-TIER writers to hold DIFFERENT WRITE AUTHORITY. The v5 composition fix pins **how** the already-uniform predicates are physically composed (one compound `WITH CHECK`, or `AS RESTRICTIVE`) — it changes no predicate's _content_ and adds no writer-varying axis; both delta-3 gates confirmed this is a tenant-isolation correctness pin, not a per-user distinction. The B2-INSERT fix ANDs a **shared, per-request workspace predicate** (`workspace_id = current_setting('mosaic.workspace_id', true)::uuid`) into every rung's INSERT `WITH CHECK` — applied **uniformly** to every writer in a tier, exactly like the B-2 read/`USING` predicate; it is tenant isolation, never a per-writer distinction. The B-1 sink-resident User-override remains keyed on **(workspace_id, task_id, tier)** — task-identity + tier ONLY, **NO per-federated-writer key** — so every writer inside a given tier is subject to the _identical_ veto for a given task. The five NB fixes (override-relation no-status enumeration; two claim-scopings; owner-toggle-FORCE containment naming; baseline runtime grants for the two capability roles) introduce **zero** per-writer authority. Per-writer _attribution_ remains an AUDIT concern routed to metadata (`task_events.actor_id`), never a DB credential/role/RLS key. The design remains satisfiable with the **fixed 3-rung role ladder** (User / Orchestrator / others), federated identity → rung at authorization time. The Q1 hard re-open trigger (same-tier / different write-authority) is **not** hit. See §5.

+
+## 0. What the "raw task-status sink" is (grounding — unchanged from v1/v2)
+
+- The canonical task-status store is **`tasks.status`** (SHARED-CONTRACT §5.4 L214 "canonical authority"); legacy **`mission_tasks.status`** is frozen read-only / prohibited as a write source (SHARED-CONTRACT §5.4 L219; §5.1 phase 1 L165). `tasks` is a **mutable** relation created by **KBN-100**. Canonical statuses are `backlog | ready | in_progress | blocked | in_review | done | cancelled` (SHARED-CONTRACT §3 L134); initial creation state is `backlog` (§5.4 L214 not-started→backlog).
+- The append-only event relations `task_events, artifacts, task_checkpoints, task_checkpoint_artifacts, approval_decision_artifacts` receive runtime-only `SELECT, INSERT` with `UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE, REFERENCES, TRIGGER` **denied** (frozen §4 L178). That producer/consumer precedent — grants applied **after** KBN-100 creates the relations — is the mechanism this envelope extends to the mutable `tasks.status` sink and to the new sink-resident override table (§2.9).
+- Today there is exactly one runtime login, `mosaic_runtime` (LOGIN INHERIT), sole member of NOLOGIN `mosaic_runtime_capability` (§4 L149-150). The sink therefore has **no writer-authority discrimination** — the root of RC19-B1-01.
+
+The three B1 findings are writes to this sink; the two B2 findings are the privileged-fd → UID-drop handoff used by the runner/importer (§5 L184/L191). This envelope homes one coherent layer over both, now with the User-override and the SELECT/tenant predicate **resident at the sink**.
+
+**[NB-2 / NB-3 — precise compromise-resistance scope (Mos Q1 accepted co-resident-pool residual; NO HALT).]** The prior "a compromised Gateway cannot bypass a User deny or read cross-workspace" framing is **overstated** and is corrected here. All three rung credentials are co-resident in one Gateway process (DB authenticates the _credential_, never the federated end-user — the accepted Mos Q1 residual), and the workspace GUC is _app-set_ with no per-tenant DB check. Precisely:
+
+- **B-1 sink-enforces the User veto against the _Orchestrator-rung path_** — an Orchestrator-pool write to a task carrying an active User deny ERRORS in PostgreSQL regardless of app-layer behavior (a _buggy_ or Orchestrator-path-compromised Gateway cannot skip it). It does **NOT** stop a Gateway compromised badly enough to hold the **User** pool: User = god and may itself clear any veto (User-write-only on the override table). That is the accepted co-resident-pool residual, not a new hole.
+- **B-2 + B2-INSERT sink-enforce tenant isolation against a _buggy_ Gateway** — an omitted/wrong workspace predicate fails **closed** (reads return zero rows; INSERTs ERROR on the NULL/mismatched GUC). They do **NOT** defend a _compromised_ Gateway that forges `mosaic.workspace_id` to a victim tenant, because the GUC carries no per-tenant DB authentication (accepted Mos Q1 residual). The genuine, real closure B2-INSERT delivers is the **buggy / unbound-INSERT** hole: without it, _any_ rung could write a foreign `workspace_id` on INSERT even with a correct GUC set — that is now impossible.
+
+Defending against a fully compromised Gateway forging identity/tenant requires per-federated-user DB credentials = the HALT boundary; Mos Q1 explicitly accepts this residual and rules NO HALT. The claims in §2.9 (B-1) and §2.2/§2.4 (B-2/INSERT) are scoped to match.

+## 1. Contract amendment (exact ownership + text changes)
+
+### 1.1 Homing decision — one NEW owner card + minimal responsibility-widenings
+
+The layer is genuinely **new scope**. The **minimal** closed/disjoint expansion adds **one new owner card, `KBN-101-10`**, owning two brand-new, currently-unowned globs (disjoint from every existing manifest → KBN-101-06 overlap/ownerless/path-existence still pass):
+
+- `packages/db/src/sink-rbac/**` — B1 layer (policy artifact + schema + evaluator + ladder + connection-selection + status-UPSERT + invariant-set + view/rule-forbid enumeration).
+- `packages/db/src/credential-handoff/**` — B2 library (SCM_RIGHTS + non-dumpable assert/verify).
+
+Plus **responsibility-widenings of already-owned files** (no manifest-glob change → no overlap):

+
+The existing `mosaic_runtime` is confirmed already `LOGIN INHERIT` with no admin attrs (frozen L150) and non-owner; it becomes the **others / deny-by-default** base rung. On the sink it retains `SELECT` (workspace-scoped `USING`, B-2), `INSERT (explicit non-status column list)` (F1), and column-level `UPDATE` on **non-status, non-invariant, non-key, non-tenancy** columns only (F7), each `USING` workspace-scoped; it has **no** `INSERT(status)`, **no** `UPDATE(status)`, **no** `DELETE`, **no** `TRUNCATE` on `tasks`, **no** write on the override table, and RLS denies its status/override writes by default. The rung set is **fixed at three**.
+
+**F2 note:** the three rung LOGIN roles' `NOBYPASSRLS` + `NOSUPERUSER` + **non-ownership** are load-bearing — `FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` collapses for any SUPERUSER/BYPASSRLS role and RLS is silently bypassed by a table **owner**. These attributes are declared in -00 bootstrap, catalog-proven in -00 tests, and re-verified at every checkout by -01 (extended L222 assertion).
+
+**[AD-1] CONNECT-allowlist certification amendment (frozen §4 L176):** L176 today grants `CONNECT` only to `mosaic_runtime`, `mosaic_migrator`, and the bootstrap actor, and its cert **fails if an unrelated login retains `CONNECT` or either application login retains `TEMPORARY`.** The two new LOGIN rungs are additional application logins that require `CONNECT` and must be `TEMPORARY`-denied. The -00 row + rc.20 text **explicitly amend the L176 allowlist** to `{mosaic_runtime, mosaic_runtime_user, mosaic_runtime_orchestrator, mosaic_migrator, bootstrap-actor}`, and the -00 cert asserts `TEMPORARY` denial for all three runtime rungs. Without this amendment the frozen -00 cert test REDS on the two new logins.
+
+**rc.20 amendment text (v3 — extends v2)** — amend §4's closing note and SHARED-CONTRACT rc.5 L82/L88-90 ("Non-effect: role graph … unchanged / neither creates roles/secrets") with:
+
+> **rc.20 (Envelope A) — authorized by Jason's declarative-RBAC B1 ruling + Mos OPTION A + Mos Q1 (TIER-LEVEL) + Mos Q2 (RLS):** adds (i) the fixed **User/Orchestrator/others** runtime rung-roles (per-ROLE, deny-by-default); each rung **LOGIN** role is `NOSUPERUSER NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION NOBYPASSRLS`, **NON-OWNER** of every sink/override table, **added to the §4 L176 `CONNECT` allowlist**, and **asserted `TEMPORARY`-denied**. **No per-federated-user role or credential is created** — federated identity maps to a rung **at authorization time only**, and per-writer **attribution lives in metadata columns** (app-supplied `actor_id` on `task_events`), **never** in DB credentials/roles. (ii) Two new fixed rung DSN secrets **`mosaic-db-runtime-user-url`** and **`mosaic-db-runtime-orchestrator-url`** (Gateway-only, `0600 10001:10001`), extending the frozen runtime-URL secret row. (iii) **RLS `WITH CHECK` write-source policies (including the B2-INSERT per-rung INSERT tenant binding `workspace_id = current_setting('mosaic.workspace_id', true)::uuid`, composed as a SINGLE compound `WITH CHECK` or `AS RESTRICTIVE` — never multi-permissive-intended-to-AND, per the v5 composition mandate §1.4 item 3-bis) + per-rung `SELECT`/`UPDATE` `USING` tenant policies + `FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY`** on the sink table `tasks` **and on the new sink-resident `task_status_write_override` table** (tighten-only, deny-by-default) — a §10 schema-v1 **mechanism addition** beyond the prior grant/revoke-only model, authorized by Mos Q2 as coordinator co-authorization with Jason's B1. **The two new rung capability roles additionally receive the baseline frozen §4 L176 runtime grants (`USAGE ON mosaic`, `drizzle` ledger `SELECT`, sequence grants) [NB-5] so they satisfy the frozen §6 L222 runtime verify.** (iv) The **`task_status_write_override` table** (keyed `(workspace_id, task_id, tier)`, no per-writer key), written only by the User rung, read by the Orchestrator/base rung `tasks` write-policy subquery, homes the User-override **at the sink**. The sink DDL (grants + RLS `USING`/`WITH CHECK` + override table + FORCE + unique key + trigger/view/rule invariants) is homed in the **KBN-100 producer** after it creates `tasks`, with `FORCE RLS` as the **terminal** migration step after all backfill/repair DML, per the §4 L178 producer/consumer precedent.
+
+> **Frozen-invariant note (authorization basis):** touching the frozen role graph, the §4 L176 CONNECT allowlist, and adding RLS + the override table are §10 contract-change classes (MISSION-MANIFEST §10; SHARED-CONTRACT L82/L88-90; frozen §4 L176). They are authorized here by **Jason B1 + Mos OPTION A + Mos Q1 + Mos Q2**. The addition is strictly a **fixed per-ROLE** set + a **tighten-only** RLS mechanism + a **task/tier-scoped** override table. It stops exactly at the HALT boundary: **no** per-federated-user topology is introduced (§5 proof).
+
+### 1.4 §10 mechanism amendment — RLS `WITH CHECK` (write-source + INSERT tenant-bound) + `USING` + sink-resident override at the sink (Q2), with the two mandatory conditions
+
+The frozen write-authority model is grant/revoke-only; **RLS appears nowhere in the frozen contract.** Mos Q2 **AUTHORIZES** adding declarative, deny-by-default, **enforce-AT-THE-SINK, fail-closed** RLS policies, because grant/revoke alone cannot express (a) row-level _write-source_ enforcement (pin new-row status, F1/N-3), (b) a _sink-enforced_ User-override that the Orchestrator-rung path cannot skip (B-1), (c) _tenant-scoped reads/updates_ (B-2), or (d) **[B2-INSERT] _tenant-scoped INSERTs_ — binding `workspace_id` on the write/create path**, which neither column grants nor the `USING` read policy can do (PostgreSQL does not apply `USING` to INSERT). RLS is **tighten-only**: it can only further restrict beyond the column grants, never widen them.
+
+**KBN-100 producer DDL scope is explicitly amended** to include, on `tasks` (and, where noted, the override table):
+
+1. `ALTER TABLE tasks ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;` — and the same on `task_status_write_override`.
+2. **CONDITION (b) — EXPLICIT DECISION: `ALTER TABLE tasks FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;`** (and on the override table) — DECIDED **YES/ON**, stated explicitly and not left defaulted, so that **even the table owner (`mosaic_schema_owner`) and any maintenance connection cannot silently bypass RLS**. (Directly closes the live U-Connect failure mode where an owner connection with `rls_forced=false` silently VOIDED RLS.)
+3. A **deny-all default** posture (no permissive policy) plus per-rung policies:
+   - **Write (`WITH CHECK`):** base/others rung → new-row `status = <initial state 'backlog'>` only, no status UPDATE; **Orchestrator rung → status INSERT pinned to a non-terminal initial status (N-3), and every write (`INSERT`/`UPDATE`/transition) additionally `WITH CHECK`'d against `NOT EXISTS(<active User deny row for (workspace_id, id, 'orchestrator')>)` (B-1)**; User rung → status INSERT (any legal status) / transition. Every write policy is `WITH CHECK` (write-source), tighten-only.
+   - **[B2-INSERT — tenant isolation on the write path] Every rung's INSERT `WITH CHECK` on `tasks` MUST include the workspace predicate `workspace_id = current_setting('mosaic.workspace_id', true)::uuid` as a conjunct of the _same_ enforced check that carries the status-pin (and, for the Orchestrator rung, the B-1 override subquery) — see the COMPOSITION MANDATE (item 3-bis) for the exact realization.** This is REQUIRED because PostgreSQL does **NOT** apply `USING` to INSERT, and the explicit status-pinning `WITH CHECK` **suppresses** the `USING`→`WITH CHECK` substitution — so in v3 `workspace_id` was **unbound on the INSERT path** and any rung could `INSERT INTO tasks (workspace_id, …) VALUES (<foreign W2>, …)` (directly or via the sanctioned status-upsert INSERT arm) into a victim workspace, defeating B-2's "tenant isolation homed at the sink" goal and evading SHARED-CONTRACT §7.1 (body workspace forbidden). **CORRECTED SEMANTICS (v5 — the delta-3 fix):** multiple **PERMISSIVE** policies for the same command combine with **OR** — a row is admitted if it satisfies **ANY** one permissive policy's `WITH CHECK`, ANDed with all `AS RESTRICTIVE` policies' checks. "All applicable `WITH CHECK` clauses must pass / they AND" is **FALSE as a general rule** and is struck from this envelope; the AND-conjunction the B2-INSERT closure depends on holds ONLY (a) _within a single policy_ whose `WITH CHECK` is one AND-conjoined expression, or (b) _across `AS RESTRICTIVE` policies_. Realizing the status-pin, the workspace-bind, and the override as separate _permissive_ policies would let a foreign-workspace INSERT that satisfies only the status-pin be admitted by OR — re-opening B2-INSERT/B-1 — which item 3-bis forbids. **Fail-closed on NULL:** an absent GUC makes `current_setting(...,true)` return NULL, the equality yields NULL (not true), and — provided the predicate is a conjunct of the single enforced check (item 3-bis) — the INSERT **ERRORS at the sink**. The **same INSERT workspace binding is applied symmetrically to `task_status_write_override`**, under the identical composition mandate (its own single compound `WITH CHECK` or `AS RESTRICTIVE`).
+   - **Read/lock (`USING`) — B-2:** per-rung `SELECT` and `UPDATE` `USING` policies **workspace-scoped** by the session predicate `workspace_id = current_setting('mosaic.workspace_id', true)::uuid` (set per request by -01, §2.2). **`USING(true)` is explicitly FORBIDDEN** — tenant isolation rides on this predicate; a lazy `USING(true)` would expose every workspace's rows to every rung and is a fail-closed contract violation caught by a negative test.
+   - **3-bis. [v5 — LOAD-BEARING] COMPOSITION MANDATE (how the sink check MUST be realized; both delta-3 gates prescribed it).** Per rung, per command (INSERT / UPDATE / transition), the sink enforcement of the status-pin **AND** the workspace-bind **AND** (Orchestrator rung only) the User-override subquery MUST be realized as EITHER:
+     - **(a) a SINGLE policy** whose `WITH CHECK` is the _full conjunction_ — `<status-pin> AND workspace_id = current_setting('mosaic.workspace_id', true)::uuid` and, for the Orchestrator rung, `AND NOT EXISTS(<active User-override deny row for (workspace_id, id, 'orchestrator')>)`; **OR**
+     - **(b)** the status-pin as the **SOLE PERMISSIVE** policy for that command, **plus** the workspace-bind and (Orchestrator) the override subquery authored **`AS RESTRICTIVE`** (restrictive policies AND with everything, so a row must pass every restrictive check _and_ at least one permissive check).
+     - **EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN:** realizing the status-pin, the workspace-bind, and the override as **multiple _permissive_ policies whose predicates are intended to AND.** Permissive policies combine with **OR**, so that realization admits a foreign-workspace INSERT that satisfies only the status-pin (cross-tenant injection) and equally bypasses the B-1 override — exactly the delta-3 defect. This mandate applies to the `tasks` INSERT/UPDATE/transition policies **AND** to the `task_status_write_override` table's own policies (same single-compound-`WITH CHECK`-or-`AS RESTRICTIVE` requirement; never multi-permissive-intended-to-AND). The producer DDL and the -09/-06 certification assert the realized policies are either single-compound or `AS RESTRICTIVE` (never separate permissive policies expected to AND) — a lint/catalog check over `pg_policy.polpermissive` backs it.
+     - **[v6 — N1: strengthened `pg_policy.polpermissive` lint (supplementary, NOT sufficient).]** The `pg_policy.polpermissive` lint (continuous -06 scan, §2.7) MUST (a) count permissive policies **grouped by EFFECTIVE role — including `PUBLIC` and role inheritance**, not merely by the policy's named `TO` role: a `TO PUBLIC` (or inherited-through-a-capability-role) permissive policy applicable to a rung's command is counted **alongside** that rung's status-pin, because at evaluation time it OR-widens exactly like a second same-role permissive policy — so a `TO PUBLIC` permissive next to a rung's status-pin is a **lint failure**; and (b) ideally **reject an internally-disjunctive single `WITH CHECK`** — a single policy whose expression is itself `status_pin OR workspace_bind` satisfies the naive one-permissive-policy count yet violates the composition mandate exactly as two permissive policies would, so the lint should detect a top-level `OR` between the status-pin and the workspace-bind/override conjuncts within one policy expression. **The lint is SUPPLEMENTARY, not sufficient:** the **behavioral positive-controls remain the PRIMARY proof** of correct composition (dropping the workspace conjunct — resp. the override subquery — alone flips the hardened negative to a PASS; §2.4 clause 5 / §2.9). The lint backstops the catalog shape; it does not replace the behavioral proof.
+     - **[v6 — N2: option-(b) vacuous-deny guard invariant — ≥1 permissive per writable (rung, command).]** Under option (b) (status-pin as the **sole PERMISSIVE** policy + workspace-bind/override `AS RESTRICTIVE`), PostgreSQL admits a row only if **≥1 PERMISSIVE `WITH CHECK` is TRUE AND all RESTRICTIVE checks pass** — so if a writable (rung, command) has **zero** permissive policies, every restrictive-only evaluation denies and the command **over-denies / fails closed** (nothing can ever be written). Therefore there **MUST be ≥1 PERMISSIVE policy per writable (rung, command)** — this "≥1 permissive per writable (rung, command)" is the **load-bearing option-(b) guard invariant** (the workspace-bind/override being restrictive is safe _only_ because the status-pin supplies the required permissive). It is verified by the mandated **"same-workspace valid-status write succeeds" positive tests** for each writable command — INSERT, transition/UPDATE, and SELECT — which would FAIL (spurious over-deny) if the permissive were dropped, and by the N1 lint confirming exactly one permissive status-pin (grouped by effective role) is present per writable (rung, command).
+4. **B-3 migration ordering (TERMINAL FORCE):** all expand/backfill/repair DML on `tasks` (SHARED-CONTRACT §5.1 phase-3 L165-171, §5.3 L188) runs **FIRST**, while `tasks` has RLS **disabled**; the `ENABLE`/`FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` statements are the **TERMINAL** DDL of the activation migration. **No standing `mosaic_schema_owner` ALLOW write policy exists after activation** (that would recreate the unconstrained owner write path = U-Connect mode). Any schema_owner maintenance policy, if ever needed, is **migration-only** and must be proven **unreachable by the 3 runtime LOGIN roles** + a negative test.
+
+**CONDITION (a):** every runtime per-role LOGIN role (`mosaic_runtime`, `mosaic_runtime_user`, `mosaic_runtime_orchestrator`) **MUST remain NON-OWNER** of every sink table **and the override table** (owner stays `mosaic_schema_owner`). Enforced by -00 bootstrap catalog assertion + re-verified at each checkout by -01 (F2). A rung role that owns a sink/override table is a fail-closed contract violation.
+
+**Break-glass boundary (B-3, named explicitly in KBN-101-09 cert):** the ONLY identities that legitimately bypass `FORCE RLS` are the sanctioned break-glass actors named in the frozen contract — `mosaic_extension_owner` (`NOLOGIN SUPERUSER`, §4.1 L146) and the external platform bootstrap actor (superuser, §4/§7; §9 L266 residual authority). Both are `NOLOGIN`/external, carry no runtime credential, and are outside application containment. The -09 cert **names these two as the accepted, audited boundary** — not a new hole — and asserts the three runtime LOGIN rungs are NOT superuser/NOT BYPASSRLS and cannot assume either.
+
+**[NB-4 — owner-toggle-FORCE containment is NON-REACHABILITY, not incapability.]** The -09 break-glass enumeration must **additionally name `mosaic_schema_owner`** (frozen §4 L145, `NOLOGIN NOSUPERUSER NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION NOBYPASSRLS`) as a **contained-but-CAPABLE** path. A table **owner** — regardless of `NOSUPERUSER`/`NOBYPASSRLS` — can `ALTER TABLE tasks DISABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` or `ALTER TABLE tasks NO FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` and then write freely; `FORCE`/`NOBYPASSRLS` do **not** make an owner incapable. So the containment claim is **NOT** "the owner cannot bypass RLS" — it is **"the owner role is NOT REACHABLE from the three runtime LOGIN rungs."** The -09 cert asserts this non-reachability **explicitly**: (i) `mosaic_schema_owner` is `NOLOGIN` (no direct credential); (ii) it is reachable only via `mosaic_migrator`'s `SET ROLE` (frozen §4 L147, migrator runner-before-Gateway, `max:1` locked migration session), which is **not** one of the three runtime rungs and holds no runtime pool; (iii) none of `mosaic_runtime` / `mosaic_runtime_user` / `mosaic_runtime_orchestrator` is a member of, or can `SET ROLE` to, `mosaic_schema_owner` or `mosaic_migrator` (catalog-proven at -00, re-verified at every checkout by -01's L222 non-owner/assumability assertion). **[NB-4-transitive — Gate B-delta-3 nit, folded]** the non-reachability assertion in the -09 cert MUST be stated as **TRANSITIVE membership**, not merely the absence of a **direct** `pg_auth_members` row: PostgreSQL's ownership/privilege check returns true for an **inherited** membership reached _through a capability role_, which would confer the owner's `ALTER TABLE … NO FORCE` / `DISABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` right. The assertion therefore uses the recursive predicates — `NOT pg_has_role('mosaic_runtime_user', 'mosaic_schema_owner', 'USAGE')` (and the same for each runtime rung against `mosaic_schema_owner` and `mosaic_migrator`), equivalently `NOT has_privs_of_role(<rung>, 'mosaic_schema_owner')` — which fold in transitive/inherited membership through any intermediate (capability) role. The frozen §6 L222 fail-closed-on "owner/migrator identity **or assumability**" check plausibly already covers this transitive case; v5 states "**transitive membership**" **explicitly** in the -09 cert assertion so no implementation reads "non-member" as only the direct-edge check. **[v6 — F-NB4: cover SET-ROLE assumability, not only inherited privilege.]** The v5 predicates `NOT pg_has_role(<rung>, 'mosaic_schema_owner', 'USAGE')` / `NOT has_privs_of_role(<rung>, 'mosaic_schema_owner')` capture the **inherited-privilege** axis, but a membership granted `WITH INHERIT FALSE, SET TRUE` yields `has_privs_of_role = FALSE` **yet still allows `SET ROLE mosaic_schema_owner`** followed by `ALTER TABLE … NO FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` — an assumability path the `USAGE`/`has_privs_of_role` predicate alone does **not** close. The -09 cert assertion therefore **conjoins the `MEMBER` variant** — `NOT pg_has_role(<rung>, 'mosaic_schema_owner', 'MEMBER')` **AND** `NOT pg_has_role(<rung>, 'mosaic_migrator', 'MEMBER')` — for **each of the three runtime rungs** (`mosaic_runtime`, `mosaic_runtime_user`, `mosaic_runtime_orchestrator`); the `MEMBER` privilege captures SET-ROLE reachability **regardless of `INHERIT`**, so `pg_has_role(rung, owner, 'USAGE')` **AND** `pg_has_role(rung, owner, 'MEMBER')` are asserted false together. This is stated explicitly rather than leaning on "frozen §6 L222 assumability plausibly covers it." (The intended role graph is already safe — per envelope §1.3 + frozen §4 L150, each rung is a member of **only** its own capability role, `WITH INHERIT TRUE, SET FALSE, ADMIN FALSE`, and of no owner/migrator role — so no live `SET TRUE` edge to the owner/migrator exists; this fold is **assertion-completeness hardening, not a live hole.**) The owner's toggle-then-write capability is therefore real but confined to the migrator/owner phase (frozen §5, runner-before-Gateway), never to a live runtime rung — that is the containment, stated as **transitive non-reachability** rather than incapability.
+
+**Red-team requirement (baked into §3/§4; v5-HARDENED so the negatives cannot false-green under the OR-trap):** each per-rung policy is proven **deny-by-default via NEGATIVE tests PER TIER** in real PostgreSQL:
+
+- an unauthorized write-source (base terminal-status INSERT/transition) that **ERRORS**;
+- **[B2-INSERT — hardened] a cross-workspace INSERT/UPSERT using a row OTHERWISE VALID for the rung** — a status the rung's pin **ACCEPTS** (e.g. **base rung + `status='backlog'`**, and no active override), differing from a passing insert ONLY in `workspace_id = <foreign W2>` — so the rejection **isolates the workspace bind** (not a status/override rejection). Tested both directly and via the status-upsert INSERT arm; it **ERRORS at the sink**. **Positive-control:** removing the workspace-bind conjunct **alone** (leaving the status-pin) flips this negative to a **PASS**, proving the _workspace bind_, not the status-pin, is doing the rejecting (and proving the composition is a single enforced conjunction / RESTRICTIVE, not an OR of separate permissive policies).
+- **[B-1 — hardened] an Orchestrator write vetoed by an active User-override deny row, using a transition the Orchestrator pin OTHERWISE ACCEPTS** (a legal non-terminal transition on `(W, T)` that would succeed absent the deny row) — so the rejection **isolates the override subquery**. It **ERRORS at the sink**. **Positive-control:** removing the override subquery **alone** flips this negative to a **PASS**, proving the _override_, not the status-pin/workspace-bind, is doing the rejecting.
+- a **cross-workspace `SELECT` under the wrong/absent session predicate** → zero rows;
+- **[B2-INSERT] a NULL-GUC INSERT** (absent `mosaic.workspace_id`) that **ERRORS** (fail-closed on NULL);
+- a **same-workspace INSERT with a valid status** that **succeeds** (proving the predicate composes with F1/N-3 and does not over-deny);
+- an **owner/maintenance connection attempting a post-activation `tasks` write** that must **fail under `FORCE`**.
+  All rejections **ERROR at the sink**. The two positive-controls are load-bearing: they are the direct proof that the composition is single-compound-`WITH CHECK`-or-`AS RESTRICTIVE` (delta-3), because under the forbidden multi-permissive-OR realization the hardened cross-workspace / override negatives would already PASS (false-green) without removing anything.

+
+## 2. Design
+
+### 2.1 Declarative RBAC policy (source-controlled artifact + schema)
+
+- **Artifact:** `packages/db/src/sink-rbac/policy.task-status.v1.ts` — a source-controlled, versioned, deny-by-default policy object; the single source of truth for "who may write the sink." No policy lives in the database except the _derived_ GRANT/RLS state the KBN-100 producer emits from it.
+- **Schema:** `packages/db/src/sink-rbac/policy.schema.ts` — a typed schema (zod/TS) validating: `rungs` (exactly the fixed ladder), per-rung `allow`/`deny` verbs (`insert`, `insert:status`, `update:<column-set>`, `transition:status`, `delete` — always deny), `federationMap` (federated-identity-claim → **rung**, never a role/credential per user), and `userOverride`.
+  - **[F6 FIX] `userOverride` scope guardrail:** the schema **constrains** override predicates to **tier- + task-identity (row) scope `(workspace_id, task_id, tier)`** and **explicitly FORBIDS** a per-federated-writer identity as an override or authority key (the Q1 re-open trigger). A policy that names a per-federated-writer identity as an override/authority key **fails schema validation** (fail-closed at load). The override is realized as the sink-resident `task_status_write_override` table (§2.9), NOT as app-resolved state. Per-writer attribution is not an authority input; it flows only to the audit metadata column (§2.6).
+- **Evaluator:** `packages/db/src/sink-rbac/evaluate.ts` — pure `(identityClaims, requestedWrite) → Decision ∈ {allow(rung), deny(reason)}`, **deny-by-default**, tier resolution only. It **only chooses a rung**; it never mints credentials and — critically (B-1) — **it is NOT the enforcement point for the User-override**: the override is enforced in PostgreSQL by the write-policy subquery, so a compromised Gateway that skips the evaluator still cannot bypass a User deny.
+- **Ladder / federation-awareness:** `packages/db/src/sink-rbac/ladder.ts` — fixed order `User > Orchestrator > others` and `resolveRung(federatedIdentity) → rung` at authorization time (Q1: federation-awareness lives in the resolver; the sink authorizes by the writer's declared ROLE/tier).
+- **Enforcement is AT THE SINK, fail-closed:** the evaluator's rung choice only selects _which pre-provisioned connection_ is used; PostgreSQL then enforces via (a) revoked base privileges, (b) column-level `INSERT(status)`/`UPDATE(status)` granted only to the User/Orchestrator capabilities, (c) `FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` + deny-all default + per-rung `WITH CHECK` policies **including the override subquery** (B-1), (d) per-rung `SELECT`/`UPDATE` `USING` **workspace predicate** (B-2, tenant isolation at the sink), (e) `DELETE/TRUNCATE` revoked from all runtime rungs, and (f) `UPDATE` on key/tenancy/invariant columns revoked from **all** rungs (F7). A mis-authorized OR override-vetoed OR cross-workspace write **fails closed in PostgreSQL** because the connection's effective DB role lacks the privilege or the policy predicate rejects the row — caller discipline is not trusted.
+

+```
+
+- **`packages/db/src/sink-rbac/connection-selection.ts`** maps `rung → pooled connection`. **Exactly three** connection pools, one per rung, each opened with that rung's **fixed** mounted-secret DSN. Credentials = rungs = **3**, constant.
+- **[AD-2/N-5 — import direction pinned]** `-01` (`database.module.ts`) **provisions ONLY the three generic rung pools** at boot and knows nothing of rung _selection_. The rung→pool SELECTION lives entirely in **-10's `connection-selection.ts`**, which is **consumed by the write-path cards (`-02`/`-03`/`-05`, which already `depends on 10`)** and is **NEVER imported by `-01`**. Direction is therefore `10 → 01` (10's selection consumes 01's pools) — **acyclic; there is no `01 → 10` cycle.** An impl lane must not read "01 wires 10" as `01 → 10`.
+- **[B-2 — workspace session predicate]** on checkout, before the first query, -01 sets `SET LOCAL mosaic.workspace_id = <verified request workspace>` inside the request transaction; the per-rung `USING` policies **and the B2-INSERT `WITH CHECK`** read `current_setting('mosaic.workspace_id', true)::uuid`. The predicate is set from the **server-verified** tenant context, never from a body field (SHARED-CONTRACT §7.1 "Body workspace fields are forbidden"). A missing/invalid setting → `USING` yields no rows (fail-closed read) and INSERT `WITH CHECK` yields NULL→ERROR (fail-closed write), never cross-workspace exposure.
+  - **[NB-3 — compromise scope]** the GUC is **app-set with no per-tenant DB authentication**, so B-2 (reads/UPDATE `USING`) and B2-INSERT protect a **buggy** Gateway (omitted/wrong predicate → fail-closed), NOT a **compromised** Gateway that forges `mosaic.workspace_id` to a victim tenant (accepted Mos Q1 co-resident-pool residual; defending it requires per-user DB creds = the HALT boundary). The genuine closure B2-INSERT delivers is the **buggy / unbound-INSERT** hole: even with a correct GUC, v3 left `workspace_id` unbound on INSERT so any rung could stamp a foreign workspace — now impossible.
+  - **[Gate B 2(a) — poisoned-pool / SET LOCAL negative]** the `mosaic.workspace_id` GUC is folded into the frozen L174 **poisoned-pooled-session-reset + transaction `SET LOCAL` restoration** negative test (which already covers `search_path`): a negative proves `mosaic.workspace_id` is **transaction-scoped via `SET LOCAL`** (mirroring the frozen `SET LOCAL search_path` discipline, §4 L152) so a pooled connection **cannot leak a stale workspace** across requests — an un-reset/poisoned session fails closed, and a committed/rolled-back transaction does not carry the prior request's workspace.
+- **[F2 FIX] Identity + attribute verification at checkout** (`connection-identity.ts`): verify effective role == the rung's expected DB role **AND** assert the safe attributes — fail closed (`DATABASE_ROLE_UNSAFE`) on SUPERUSER, CREATEROLE, CREATEDB, REPLICATION, **BYPASSRLS**, or ownership of any sink/override table. Extends the frozen L222 check to **each** rung connection.
+- **No per-federated-user role/credential:** a new federated user needs **zero** new DB roles/credentials/secrets/pools — it resolves to an existing rung. Federation growth is O(1) in DB-role count.
+
+### 2.3 Status-preserving UPSERT on a stable natural key (F4 bound)
+
+- **`packages/db/src/sink-rbac/status-upsert.ts`** — the single sanctioned refresh helper: `INSERT INTO tasks (natural_key…, <mutable non-status cols…>) VALUES (…) ON CONFLICT (<natural key>) DO UPDATE SET <mutable non-status cols…>` — **`status` is never in the `DO UPDATE SET` list**, so a refresh preserves existing `status` byte-for-byte.
+- **[B-2 dependency]** the `ON CONFLICT` conflict-probe/refresh reads the existing row; under `FORCE RLS` this requires the per-rung `SELECT`/`UPDATE` `USING` policy to admit the row (workspace-scoped). Without B-2's `USING` policies the probe would see zero rows and the UPSERT would spuriously INSERT-conflict or mis-refresh — B-2 is what makes the sanctioned UPSERT actually work post-activation.
+- **[B2-INSERT dependency]** the UPSERT's **INSERT arm** is a `tasks` INSERT and is therefore subject to the B2-INSERT workspace `WITH CHECK` (§1.4/§2.4): a status-upsert that supplies a foreign `workspace_id` (or runs under an absent GUC) **ERRORS at the sink**, closing the sanctioned-UPSERT INSERT path that v3 left tenant-unbound. The helper sets `workspace_id` from the server-verified tenant context (never a body field, §7.1); it matches the session GUC by construction.
+- **[F4 FIX] Natural key:** the tenant-scoped stable identity **`(workspace_id, id)`**. No frozen `tasks(workspace_id,id)` unique key exists (only `missions_workspace_id_uidx`, rc.4 L94) — `ON CONFLICT` against a nonexistent unique index is a **HARD planning error** that fails loud. Therefore **KBN-100 MUST create `tasks (workspace_id,id)` UNIQUE** (aligned to the SI-001 pattern, SHARED-CONTRACT §5.2). **Fallback:** if KBN-100 keys `tasks` on global `id` only, the UPSERT natural key **re-binds to `(id)`** (spec-level, no HALT).
+- **Status changes only via an authorized transition:** `transitionStatus()` guarded by (a) the rung's `transition:status` policy verb, (b) `UPDATE(status)` present only on User/Orchestrator capabilities, (c) the RLS `WITH CHECK` transition policy (admits the update only as an explicit transition, never as a refresh/grant side effect) **plus the override subquery for the Orchestrator rung (B-1)**, and (d) the `USING` workspace predicate to see/lock the row (B-2). `DELETE` is denied to all runtime rungs → **DELETE + default-INSERT status reset is impossible at the sink** (fails closed on the DELETE).
+
+### 2.4 INSERT-time status constraint (F1 BLOCKING + N-3 hardening)
+
+Base `mosaic_runtime` must not stamp an arbitrary terminal status at creation, **and the Orchestrator rung must not create a task directly at a terminal status** (N-3). Layered fail-closed controls (homed in the KBN-100 producer DDL):
+
+1. **Column-privilege:** `GRANT INSERT (<explicit non-status column list>) ON tasks TO mosaic_runtime_capability;` — the base rung **cannot name `status` on INSERT**, so `status` takes its column **DEFAULT** (`backlog`). `INSERT(status)` is granted **only** to the User/Orchestrator capabilities.
+2. **RLS `INSERT … WITH CHECK` (base):** pins **new-row `status = 'backlog'`** for the base rung.
+3. **[N-3 FIX] RLS `INSERT … WITH CHECK` (Orchestrator):** pins the Orchestrator rung's new-row status to a **non-terminal initial status** (`status IN {backlog, ready}`; never `done`/`cancelled`/`in_review`). **Only the User (god) rung may INSERT an arbitrary/terminal status.** This prevents an Orchestrator creating a task directly at `done`/`cancelled`, skipping the transition/lease/review trail (SHARED-CONTRACT §7.2 `POST /tasks` L272 vs `POST /tasks/:taskId/transition` L275). The exact terminal/non-terminal set is bound by KBN-100 to the §3 L134 vocabulary.
+4. **[B2-INSERT FIX] RLS `INSERT … WITH CHECK` (EVERY rung, tenant binding):** every rung's INSERT sink-check MUST include `workspace_id = current_setting('mosaic.workspace_id', true)::uuid` as a conjunct of the **same enforced check** that carries the status-pin (base=`backlog`, Orch=non-terminal, User=any) **and** the B-1 override subquery on the Orchestrator rung. `status` is bound by clause 2/3; `workspace_id` is bound by this conjunct; they are orthogonal columns so there is no conflict. **[v5 — corrected PostgreSQL semantics; the delta-3 fix]** the earlier justification "because PostgreSQL requires all applicable `WITH CHECK` clauses to pass, they AND" is **FALSE and is struck**: multiple **PERMISSIVE** policies for a command combine with **OR** (a row is admitted if it satisfies **ANY** one permissive `WITH CHECK`, ANDed with all `AS RESTRICTIVE` checks). The AND this closure needs holds ONLY (a) within a _single_ policy whose `WITH CHECK` is one AND-conjoined expression, or (b) across `AS RESTRICTIVE` policies. **Fail-closed on NULL:** an absent GUC → NULL equality → INSERT ERRORS — _provided_ the workspace conjunct sits in the single enforced check (clause 5). This closes the v3 gap where the explicit status `WITH CHECK` suppressed the `USING`→`WITH CHECK` substitution, leaving `workspace_id` unbound on INSERT and allowing any rung to INSERT into a foreign workspace.
+5. **[v5 COMPOSITION MANDATE — LOAD-BEARING] Single-compound-`WITH CHECK`-or-`AS RESTRICTIVE`, never multi-permissive-intended-to-AND.** The status-pin (clause 2/3), the workspace-bind (clause 4), and (Orchestrator) the B-1 override subquery MUST be realized per rung, per command as EITHER **(a)** a **SINGLE policy** whose `WITH CHECK` is the full conjunction `<status-pin> AND workspace_id = current_setting('mosaic.workspace_id', true)::uuid [AND NOT EXISTS(<active override deny row>)]`; **OR (b)** the status-pin as the **sole PERMISSIVE** policy **plus** the workspace-bind and (Orchestrator) the override authored **`AS RESTRICTIVE`**. Realizing them as **multiple _permissive_ policies intended to AND is EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN** — permissive policies OR, so a foreign-workspace INSERT satisfying only the status-pin (e.g. base + `backlog` + foreign `workspace_id`) would be OR-admitted, re-opening B2-INSERT, and an override-vetoed Orchestrator write satisfying the status-pin would likewise slip the B-1 veto. The **identical mandate applies to `task_status_write_override`'s own policies** (single compound `WITH CHECK` or `AS RESTRICTIVE`; never multi-permissive-AND). A `pg_policy.polpermissive` catalog check + the hardened positive-control negatives (below) prove the realization. **[v6 — N1]** the `pg_policy.polpermissive` check is strengthened to count permissive policies **grouped by EFFECTIVE role (including `PUBLIC` and role inheritance)** — a `TO PUBLIC`/inherited permissive applicable to a rung's command counts alongside its status-pin — and to **reject an internally-disjunctive single `WITH CHECK`** (a lone policy whose expression is `status_pin OR workspace_bind` OR-widens exactly like two permissive policies); the lint is **supplementary, and the behavioral positive-controls below remain the PRIMARY proof** (§1.4 item 3-bis). **[v6 — N2]** because option (b) admits a row only when **≥1 permissive `WITH CHECK` is TRUE AND all restrictive checks pass**, there **MUST be ≥1 PERMISSIVE policy per writable (rung, command)** — the load-bearing option-(b) vacuous-deny guard — else the command over-denies (fails closed); this invariant is proven by the mandated "same-workspace valid-status write succeeds" positive tests (INSERT, transition/UPDATE, SELECT).
+
+**Red-first tests (v5-hardened):** base-rung `INSERT … status='done'` **ERRORS** (column-privilege and/or RLS); base-rung INSERT omitting status succeeds at DEFAULT; **Orchestrator `INSERT … status='done'` ERRORS (N-3)**, Orchestrator `INSERT … status='backlog'` succeeds; User-rung `INSERT … status='done'` succeeds. **[B2-INSERT — hardened valid-status form]** the cross-workspace negative uses a row **otherwise valid for the rung** — **base rung + `status='backlog'` + `workspace_id=<foreign W2>`, no active override** — differing from a passing insert ONLY in `workspace_id`, so the **ERROR** isolates the _workspace bind_ (not a status/override rejection); tested direct and via the status-upsert INSERT arm. **Positive-control:** removing the workspace-bind conjunct **alone** flips this to a **PASS** (proving the bind — not the status-pin — rejects, hence a single enforced conjunction / RESTRICTIVE, not a permissive OR). An INSERT under an absent `mosaic.workspace_id` GUC **ERRORS** (fail-closed on NULL); a same-workspace INSERT with a valid status **succeeds** (predicate composes with F1/N-3, does not over-deny).
+
+### 2.5 Invariant / key / tenancy field-set (F7 — closure)
+
+- **`packages/db/src/sink-rbac/invariant-set.ts`** defines the invariant field-set = every sink column NOT in the explicitly-mutable set: `{ natural-key columns (workspace_id, id), status, creation/tenancy columns, immutable metadata }`. The complement (title, tags-normalized, due_at, rank, …) is the mutable set the UPSERT `DO UPDATE` touches.
+- **[F7 FIX] `UPDATE` on key/tenancy/invariant columns (`workspace_id`, `id`, tenancy columns) is REVOKED from ALL rungs — including User and Orchestrator.** A re-key would otherwise **launder status** (relocate a row into a new identity to escape the status invariant). Column-level `UPDATE` grants for every rung exclude these columns.
+- **Grant/data-plane disjointness (RC19-B1-03):** grants are declarative + physically separate from the data plane, so a grant/policy mutation writes **zero** `tasks` rows. A test applies an arbitrary policy/grant delta → asserts **zero byte delta** on any `tasks` row (closes RC19-B1-03 by construction).
+
+### 2.6 Per-writer attribution → metadata column (Q1 audit channel)
+
+- Per-writer attribution (which federated writer inside a tier acted) is an **AUDIT** concern, not an authority concern. It is captured as an **app-supplied `actor_id` metadata column on `task_events`** (append-only, already runtime `INSERT/SELECT`-only per frozen §4 L178). KBN-100 owns the column; the application supplies the verified federated-writer identity as **data**.
+- It is **never** a DB credential, role, or RLS predicate key, and (per F6) never a `userOverride`/authority key (the override is keyed on task+tier, not writer). This keeps "which writer acted" auditable **without** a per-writer DB topology — i.e. without hitting the Q1 HALT trigger.
+
+### 2.7 No-status-write via trigger / view / rule (F3 BLOCKING + N-1 + N-2)
+
+Column-level `UPDATE(status)` alone does not close every indirect status-write path. Three complementary invariants (homed in KBN-100 producer; enumerated by -10's `invariant-set.ts`/no-status enumeration; certified deployed by KBN-101-09):
+
+- **F3 — no status-normalizing trigger on `tasks`:** no trigger on `tasks` writes/normalizes `status` outside the sanctioned `transitionStatus()` path. The transition path is the **only** status writer.
+- **[N-2 FIX + NB-1 + continuous-scan ADOPTED] Complete no-status-write enumeration (F3 completeness):** the cert asserts, in addition to F3: **no AFTER trigger** on `tasks` executing `UPDATE tasks SET status`; **no `SECURITY DEFINER` function** that writes `tasks.status` (frozen §4 L176 already forbids `SECURITY DEFINER` unless a separately reviewed exception — cited as the backstop); **no trigger on a RELATED runtime-writable table** (`task_events` and the other §4 L178 relations) that writes `tasks.status`; and **no `CREATE RULE`** on `tasks`. **[NB-1]** The enumeration is **extended to the `task_status_write_override` relation**: no status-writing trigger / RULE / `SECURITY DEFINER` function on the override relation may write `tasks.status` (the override table is runtime-writable by the User rung, so it is exactly the class §2.7's related-table clause must cover). The enumeration **scans function BODIES** (`pg_proc.prosrc` / dependency graph) for `tasks.status` writes, not merely `pg_trigger` rows. **[Gate A-delta-2 obs #2 — ADOPTED, not just recommended]** this enumeration is now a **continuous -06 CI catalog scan run on EVERY migration** (promoted from the v3 one-shot -09 recommendation), so a _later_ migration that adds a status-writing trigger/function/rule/view on `tasks` **or** on `task_status_write_override` **fails CI**, not only the one-time -09 cert. The -09 deployed cert still records the final deployed proof; the -06 scan is the standing gate. **[v6 — N1]** the same continuous -06 scan family carries the **strengthened `pg_policy.polpermissive` composition lint** (§1.4 item 3-bis / §2.4 clause 5): on every migration it counts permissive policies **grouped by effective role — including `PUBLIC` and role inheritance** (a `TO PUBLIC`/inherited permissive applicable to a writable command counts alongside that rung's status-pin) and flags an **internally-disjunctive single `WITH CHECK`** (`status_pin OR workspace_bind` within one policy). This lint is **supplementary**: it backstops the catalog shape but is **not sufficient** — the behavioral positive-controls (§2.4 clause 5 / §2.9) remain the PRIMARY proof that the composition is single-compound/`AS RESTRICTIVE` rather than an OR of permissive policies.
+- **[N-1 FIX] no status-write via VIEW or RULE:** forbid any `VIEW` or `RULE` on `tasks` that yields a status-write path. An owner-owned view runs with the owner's privileges (`security_invoker = false` by default), side-stepping rung grants; an `ON INSERT/UPDATE DO INSTEAD` rule rewrites a write onto `tasks` similarly. The `invariant-set.ts` enumeration **forbids such views/rules OR mandates `security_invoker = true` + ZERO runtime grants** on any view over `tasks`. A negative test proves a rung cannot mutate `tasks.status` through any view/rule.
+
+### 2.8 B2 — SCM_RIGHTS credential-acquisition + non-dumpable re-verify (F5 hardened — unchanged from v2)
+
+- **`packages/db/src/credential-handoff/scm-rights.ts`** — the privileged process (the **-03 migrator launch wrapper**) opens the privileged fd (attestation signing key, §5 L191) **before** the UID drop and passes the **descriptor itself** over a Unix-domain socket via an `SCM_RIGHTS` ancillary message. The receiver **never** re-opens `/proc/self/fd/N` (the kernel re-checks permission and returns EACCES after the drop — the FD5 failure). `O_CLOEXEC` managed explicitly on both ends.
+  - **[F5 FIX] Socket authentication:** the transfer socket **MUST** be a `socketpair()` created **pre-fork** (no filesystem socket) **OR** a filesystem socket in a `0700` directory verified with **`SO_PEERCRED`** (assert peer UID/GID/PID). The receiver sets **`MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC`** on `recvmsg`. An unauthenticated/anonymous peer is rejected fail-closed.
+- **`packages/db/src/credential-handoff/process-hardening.ts`** — after **every** credential/UID transition, re-assert `prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 0)` and **verify** `prctl(PR_GET_DUMPABLE) == 0`; treat `dumpable != 0` as a fail-closed abort.
+- **Consumers:** KBN-101-03 migrator wrapper (drop to `10003:10003`), KBN-101-02 importer (privileged-fd case, drop to `10002:10002`). The runtime rung-connection selection is a **DB-role choice, NOT an OS-UID transition** — no new setuid surface, no dumpability handling, reinforcing the no-per-user / no-new-privilege-drop property.
+
+### 2.9 [B-1 FIX] Sink-resident, task/tier-scoped User-override table (the User deny is now enforced IN PostgreSQL)
+
+**Problem (Gate B-delta B-1):** in v2 the evaluator resolved the User-override in-app _before_ selecting a connection, so a compromised/buggy Gateway on the Orchestrator pool could bypass a User deny — contradicting v2 §1.4/Q2, which mandates that "an Orchestrator write vetoed by a User-override deny must ERROR at the sink." App-resolution is not sink-enforcement.
+
+**Fix (option a — DB-resident override, RLS-forced):**
+
+- **New relation `mosaic.task_status_write_override`** (owned/created by the KBN-100 producer, exactly like `tasks`), columns: `workspace_id`, `task_id`, `tier` (enum `{orchestrator}` for v1 — the only vetoable sub-god tier; extensible to a future 4th rung), `active boolean`, `created_by_actor_id` (audit metadata, NOT an authority key), timestamps. **Primary/unique key `(workspace_id, task_id, tier)`** — **task-identity + tier ONLY; NO per-federated-writer column is part of the key or an authority input** (preserves F6 + the Q1 HALT boundary: every Orchestrator-tier writer is vetoed identically for a given task).
+- **Who may WRITE it (sink-enforced):** `INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE` on the override table is granted **ONLY** to `mosaic_runtime_user_capability` (the User god rung), with the table under `FORCE RLS` and a `WITH CHECK` policy binding the row's `workspace_id` to the session workspace predicate. **[B2-INSERT parity]** that `WITH CHECK` workspace binding applies to the override table's **INSERT** path too (`workspace_id = current_setting('mosaic.workspace_id', true)::uuid`, fail-closed on NULL), so the override table's write path carries the identical symmetric tenant isolation as `tasks` — a User-rung INSERT of a veto row for a foreign workspace, or under an absent GUC, **ERRORS at the sink**. **[v5 COMPOSITION MANDATE parity]** the override table's write policies are subject to the SAME composition rule as `tasks` (§1.4 item 3-bis / §2.4 clause 5): the workspace-bind (and any status/authority conjunct) MUST be realized as a **single compound `WITH CHECK`** OR **`AS RESTRICTIVE`** — **never as multiple _permissive_ policies intended to AND** (which would OR-admit a foreign-workspace veto row). The Orchestrator and base rungs have **no** write privilege — a non-User attempt to author/clear a veto **ERRORS at the sink**. Thus only the User rung can raise or lift a veto.
+- **Who READS it:** all three rung capabilities get **`SELECT`** on the override table (workspace-scoped `USING`), because the `tasks` write policy subquery evaluates as the current (querying) rung role. The read is confined to the querying connection's workspace by the override table's own `USING` predicate.
+- **How it vetoes (the subquery):** every `tasks` **write policy** for the **Orchestrator rung** (`INSERT … WITH CHECK`, `UPDATE … WITH CHECK`, and the transition `WITH CHECK`) is extended with:
+
+  ```sql
+  AND NOT EXISTS (
+    SELECT 1 FROM mosaic.task_status_write_override o
+    WHERE o.workspace_id = tasks.workspace_id
+      AND o.task_id      = tasks.id
+      AND o.tier         = 'orchestrator'
+      AND o.active
+  )
+  ```
+
+  So an Orchestrator-tier write to a task carrying an active User deny is **REJECTED in PostgreSQL**, regardless of app-layer behavior. **[v5 COMPOSITION MANDATE]** this `NOT EXISTS(<override>)` subquery MUST be a **conjunct of the Orchestrator rung's single compound `WITH CHECK`** (alongside the status-pin and the workspace-bind), OR authored **`AS RESTRICTIVE`** — it may **NOT** be a separate _permissive_ policy intended to AND, because permissive policies OR and an Orchestrator write satisfying the status-pin permissive policy would then be OR-admitted despite an active deny (bypassing B-1). The User rung's own `tasks` policies do **not** subquery the override (User = god; the User authored the deny and overrides it). The base rung already cannot write status.
+
+- **Per-tier NEGATIVE test (real PostgreSQL, red-first; v5-HARDENED):** insert an active override row for `(W, T, orchestrator)` via the User rung; then an Orchestrator-rung write on `(W, T)` **using a transition the Orchestrator pin OTHERWISE ACCEPTS** (a legal non-terminal `UPDATE`/transition that would succeed absent the deny row, and under the correct workspace GUC) **must ERROR at the sink** — so the rejection **isolates the override subquery** (not a status/workspace rejection). **Positive-control:** removing the override subquery **alone** flips this negative to a **PASS**, proving the _override_ — not the status-pin or workspace-bind — is doing the rejecting (and proving the subquery is a single-enforced conjunct / RESTRICTIVE, not an OR of separate permissive policies). Clearing the row (`active=false`, User rung only) re-permits the Orchestrator write; a non-User attempt to write the override table **ERRORS**. This proves the User-override is **sink-enforced** (satisfies v2 Q2) and stays within Mos Q1 tier-level (task/tier-scoped, not per-writer).
+
+**[NB-2 — compromise-resistance scope of B-1.]** B-1 sink-enforces the veto against the **Orchestrator-rung path** — an Orchestrator-pool write to a vetoed task ERRORS in PostgreSQL regardless of app behavior. It does **NOT** claim to stop a Gateway compromised badly enough to hold the **User** pool: User = god and holds the sole write on the override table, so a compromised-User-pool Gateway can itself clear the veto. That is the **accepted co-resident-pool residual** (Mos Q1, NO HALT), not a defended boundary. The v3 §0 framing "a compromised Gateway cannot bypass a User deny" is corrected to "an Orchestrator-**path** write cannot bypass a User deny at the sink." Defending against a compromised User-pool Gateway would require per-federated-user DB credentials = the HALT boundary, which Mos Q1 explicitly declines.
+
+**HALT note:** because the key is `(workspace_id, task_id, tier)` and never `writer`, this fix does **not** give two same-tier writers different authority — it gives the _whole_ Orchestrator tier the _same_ per-task veto. The B2-INSERT workspace predicate is likewise applied uniformly to every writer in a tier. NO HALT.

Frozen §6 L222 "assumability" plausibly already covers this; "transitive membership" is stated explicitly. **[v6 — F-NB4]** the assertion additionally **conjoins the `MEMBER` variant** — `NOT pg_has_role(<rung>, 'mosaic_schema_owner', 'MEMBER')` **AND** `NOT pg_has_role(<rung>, 'mosaic_migrator', 'MEMBER')` for each of the 3 runtime rungs — because a `WITH INHERIT FALSE, SET TRUE` membership yields `has_privs_of_role = FALSE` yet still permits `SET ROLE … ; ALTER TABLE … NO FORCE`; the `MEMBER` privilege captures SET-ROLE reachability regardless of `INHERIT` (the intended graph has each rung `SET FALSE` to only its capability role, so this is assertion-completeness, not a live hole). `mosaic_schema_owner` is `NOLOGIN`, reachable only via `mosaic_migrator` `SET ROLE`; the 3 runtime rungs are transitive non-members and non-assumers (catalog + L222 checkout). |

+
+**Manifest closure (KBN-101-06 green):** the only NEW ownership is the two disjoint -10 globs. The B-1 override table, B-2 `USING` policies, B-3 terminal-FORCE ordering, **and the v4 B2-INSERT INSERT `WITH CHECK` workspace binding (+ its override-table parity) and the NB-1 override-relation no-status enumeration** are ALL producer DDL homed in KBN-100's already-owned `schema.ts`/`drizzle/**` (a _responsibility_ widening, not a glob change — identical treatment to the v3 `tasks` sink DDL). The **NB-5 baseline capability-role grants** amend -00's already-owned `roles.sql`/tests (like AD-1); the **continuous -06 no-status scan** lives in -06's already-owned `tools/ci/fixtures/kbn101-ddl-inventory.json` + `.woodpecker/ci.yml`; the NB-2/NB-3/NB-4 claim-scopings/enumeration are doc + -09 cert wording on already-owned paths. N-1/N-2/N-5 additions live in -10's already-declared `sink-rbac/**`. **No glob is split/shared/narrowed → overlap/ownerless/path-existence stay green (KBN-101-06 unchanged-green vs v3).**
+
+**NO per-federated-user topology (HALT boundary respected — re-verified for v5):** DB-role/credential cardinality = **3** (User / Orchestrator / others), fixed and independent of the federated-user count. Federated identity → rung happens in the evaluator at authorization time. A new federated user creates **zero** roles/credentials/secrets/pools. The **B-1 override table is keyed `(workspace_id, task_id, tier)` — task+tier, never writer** — so it homes a tier-level veto, not a per-user distinction. The **B-2 read `USING` predicate AND the B2-INSERT INSERT check predicate are the SAME shared per-request session var** (`mosaic.workspace_id`), applied uniformly to whichever rung role holds the connection — tenant isolation, not writer discrimination (and, per v5, composed into a single compound check or `AS RESTRICTIVE` rather than an OR of separate permissive policies). Per-writer **attribution** is a metadata column (`task_events.actor_id`, §2.6), not a DB principal. `userOverride` forbids a per-writer authority key (F6, fail-closed at load). The NB-1..NB-5 fixes add no principal, key, or predicate that varies by writer. Enforce-at-sink is satisfied by the fixed rung roles' grants + `FORCE RLS WITH CHECK`(+override, +workspace-bound INSERT) + `USING` — it does **not** require, and this design does **not** use, a DB role/credential per federated user.
+
+**Q1 same-tier / different-authority check (the ONLY HALT trigger):** no v5 change gives two SAME-TIER writers different WRITE authority. The v5 composition pin fixes only **how** the already-uniform predicates are physically composed (single compound `WITH CHECK` or `AS RESTRICTIVE`, never multi-permissive-OR) — it changes no predicate's content and introduces no writer-varying axis. F1/F2/F3/F7/N-3 tighten authority uniformly per tier; **B2-INSERT binds the same workspace predicate uniformly into every rung's INSERT check** (tenant isolation, not writer discrimination); B-1 vetoes the _entire_ Orchestrator tier per task (not a subset of Orchestrator writers); B-2 isolates by workspace uniformly; F6 forbids per-writer authority keys; attribution is audit-only. The NB-4-transitive nit only _strengthens_ the owner non-reachability assertion (transitive membership) — no authority axis. **No same-tier-different-authority requirement exists → NO HALT — an executable envelope is delivered.**

+
+## 6. Flagged ambiguities in the frozen contract (for reviewer awareness)
+
+1. **Sink identity of the status store.** The RBAC-guarded sink is `tasks.status`; legacy `mission_tasks.status` stays frozen read-only. Confirm no reviewer reads "raw sink" as the legacy column.
+2. **Frozen "role graph unchanged" + "no RLS" + L176 CONNECT allowlist vs. the rulings.** SHARED-CONTRACT rc.5 L82/L88-90 froze the role graph and grant/revoke-only (no RLS); frozen §4 L176 froze the CONNECT allowlist. Jason B1 + Mos OPTION A add fixed rung-roles; **Mos Q2** authorizes RLS `WITH CHECK`/`USING` + `FORCE RLS` + the override table; **AD-1** amends the L176 allowlist for the 2 new logins. The rc.20 amendment text (§1.3/§1.4) records all three as deliberate, human-authorized departures. Reviewer should confirm rc.20 is **adopted** (not treated as a violation), that KBN-100's DDL scope is amended to include RLS + the override table on `tasks`, and that the -00 row amends the L176 allowlist.
+3. **Natural-key column list for `tasks` (F4).** `tasks (workspace_id, id)` UNIQUE is asserted by the SI-001 pattern but must be **bound + created by KBN-100**. If KBN-100's `tasks` identity differs, the UPSERT natural key re-binds to `(id)` (spec-level, no HALT).
+4. **Initial/terminal status values (F1/N-3).** F1 pins base new-row status to `backlog` (§5.4 L214); N-3 pins the Orchestrator's INSERT set to non-terminal (`{backlog, ready}`) and reserves terminal (`{done, cancelled}`; `in_review` treated as non-initial) to the User rung. KBN-100 binds the exact column DEFAULT and the RLS `WITH CHECK` literals against the §3 L134 vocabulary so they agree.
+5. **Workspace session-var name + set-site (B-2 + B2-INSERT).** The `USING` predicate **and the v4 INSERT `WITH CHECK` predicate** both use `current_setting('mosaic.workspace_id', true)`. -01 sets it per request from the server-verified tenant (never a body field, §7.1). Reviewer should confirm the exact GUC name and that a transaction-local `SET LOCAL` is used so a pooled connection cannot leak a stale workspace across requests (mirrors the frozen `SET LOCAL search_path` discipline, §4 L152) — now **explicitly folded into the frozen L174 poisoned-pooled-session-reset + `SET LOCAL` restoration negative test** (Gate B 2(a), §2.2). Reviewer should also confirm the accepted scope (NB-3): fail-closed on an omitted/NULL GUC (buggy Gateway), but a _forged_ GUC to a victim tenant is the accepted per-user residual (Mos Q1), not defended.
+6. **N-4 transition-graph decision.** Edge-legality (illegal/backward transitions such as `done→backlog`) is **app-enforced** within near-god/god authority; the sink closes RC19-B1-02 for **base only** (DELETE-denial + no base status write). A validation-only sink guard is deferred to avoid colliding with the F3/N-2 no-status-trigger invariant. Reviewer should confirm this decision is acceptable (it is stated, not silently dropped).
+7. **N-2 continuous scan — now ADOPTED.** The complete no-status-write enumeration (trigger/view/rule/SECURITY DEFINER/function-body), covering `tasks` **and `task_status_write_override` (NB-1)**, is now a **continuous -06 CI catalog scan run on every migration** (promoted from the v3 one-shot -09 recommendation, per Gate A-delta-2 obs #2); the -09 deployed cert still records the final proof. Reviewer should confirm the -06 scan is owned/wired in `tools/ci/fixtures/kbn101-ddl-inventory.json` + `.woodpecker/ci.yml` (already-owned -06 paths).
+8. **KBN-101-09 is evidence-only.** B-1/B-2/B-3/F3/N-1/N-2 negative tests are _authored/owned_ by the producing implementation cards (KBN-100 producer for `tasks`/override triggers/RLS; -10/-01 for the rung path); KBN-101-09 records the **deployed** certification evidence and changes no implementation path. Confirm the test-ownership split is acceptable (mirrors the frozen -09 "evidence-only" role).
+9. **B2-INSERT / B-1 `WITH CHECK` composition — SEMANTICS CORRECTED + REALIZATION MANDATED (v5; the delta-3 fix).** v4 justified the composition with a **FALSE** PostgreSQL claim — "multiple applicable `WITH CHECK` clauses must all pass (they AND)". **That is struck.** The **correct** semantics: multiple **PERMISSIVE** policies for a command combine with **OR** (a row is admitted if it satisfies **ANY** one permissive `WITH CHECK`, ANDed with all `AS RESTRICTIVE` checks); the AND this closure needs holds **ONLY** (a) within a _single_ policy whose `WITH CHECK` is one AND-conjoined expression, or (b) across `AS RESTRICTIVE` policies. Accordingly v5 **MANDATES** (§1.4 item 3-bis / §2.4 clause 5 / §2.9) that, per rung per command, the status-pin **AND** the workspace-bind **AND** (Orchestrator) the override subquery be realized as EITHER a **single compound `WITH CHECK`** OR the status-pin-as-sole-permissive **plus** the workspace-bind/override **`AS RESTRICTIVE`**, and **EXPLICITLY FORBIDS** realizing them as multiple _permissive_ policies intended to AND (which would OR-admit a foreign-workspace INSERT satisfying only the status-pin — cross-tenant injection — and equally bypass the B-1 veto). Reviewer should confirm: (i) the corrected OR-semantics statement replaces every "all `WITH CHECK` AND" assertion; (ii) the realized policies are single-compound or `AS RESTRICTIVE` (a `pg_policy.polpermissive` catalog check backs it); (iii) the hardened red-first negatives use an _otherwise-valid_ row (cross-workspace: base + `backlog` + foreign ws; override: an otherwise-accepted Orchestrator transition) so each rejection isolates the bind/override under test, **and each carries a positive-control** (dropping the workspace conjunct — resp. the override subquery — alone flips the negative to a PASS, proving the bind/override, not the status-pin, is rejecting). Confirm the accepted scope (NB-2/NB-3) is unchanged: write-side sink tenant isolation is complete against a _buggy_ Gateway; a _compromised_ Gateway forging the GUC or holding the User pool is the accepted Mos Q1 residual.

All three are assertion/test/lint completeness on an already-BOTH-GO design; the intended role graph is already safe. The v6 body otherwise preserves the v5 text verbatim, which in turn preserved EVERY v4 closure (all v4 checks passed except one bounded item) and closed the SINGLE remaining BLOCKING finding raised identically by BOTH re-gate-3 gates (Gate A-delta-3 `aa5cbf73` CHANGES-NEEDED; Gate B-delta-3 `aa881074` 1 blocking) — the **RLS `WITH CHECK` composition semantics**: (1) **corrected semantics** — struck the FALSE "PostgreSQL requires ALL applicable `WITH CHECK` to pass / they AND" from §1.4/§2.4/§6.9 and stated the true rule (multiple PERMISSIVE policies OR; AND holds only within a single compound `WITH CHECK` or across `AS RESTRICTIVE`); (2) **mandated the realization** — per rung per command, status-pin + workspace-bind + (Orchestrator) override subquery MUST be a **single compound `WITH CHECK`** OR the status-pin-as-sole-permissive **plus** the bind/override **`AS RESTRICTIVE`**, with **multi-permissive-intended-to-AND EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN**, applied to `tasks` **and** `task_status_write_override` (§1.4 item 3-bis, §2.4 clauses 4–5, §2.9); (3) **hardened the red-first negatives** — cross-workspace INSERT uses an otherwise-valid row (base + `backlog` + foreign ws) and the B-1 override negative uses an otherwise-accepted Orchestrator transition, so each rejection isolates the bind/override, **each with a positive-control** (dropping the workspace conjunct — resp. override subquery — alone flips the negative to PASS); plus **NB-4-transitive** (owner non-reachability stated as TRANSITIVE membership — `NOT pg_has_role(...)`/`has_privs_of_role(...)` recursion, not a direct `pg_auth_members` edge; frozen L222 "assumability" noted as plausibly already covering it). Every other v4 closure carries forward intact (3-rung ladder / 0 per-user; F1–F7; GA-1/3/4; B-1/B-2/B-3; the B2-INSERT workspace bind itself; N-1..N-5; AD-1/AD-2; NB-1..NB-5; continuous -06 no-status scan; L174 poisoned-pool `SET LOCAL` GUC fold; rc.20). Manifest disjoint (KBN-101-06 green) — all v5 changes land on already-owned KBN-100-producer / -09 / -06 paths (DDL realization detail + test wording; no glob change). Design/contract only; no SSOT file modified, no code, no PR. HALT self-check: NO HALT (fixed 3-rung ladder; override keyed task+tier not writer; workspace predicate shared per-request and uniform per tier, now composed as single-compound/`RESTRICTIVE`; attribution → metadata; no per-federated-user DB role/credential; no same-tier different-authority requirement — both delta-3 gates independently confirmed the boundary HOLDS). **v6 changes NOTHING in this HALT calculus: N1/N2/F-NB4 add only lint-scope, a vacuous-deny test invariant, and a `MEMBER` assumability assertion — zero new principal, key, predicate, grant, role, or table, and no writer-varying axis — so NO HALT is re-confirmed for v6.** Manifest remains disjoint (KBN-101-06 green): every v6 fold lands on already-owned paths — the -06 continuous scan / `pg_policy.polpermissive` lint in `tools/ci/fixtures/kbn101-ddl-inventory.json` + `.woodpecker/ci.yml`; the option-(b) positive tests in the KBN-100-producer / -09 evidence paths; the `MEMBER` assertion in the -09 cert — no glob split/shared/narrowed.

 ## Amendment record
 
+### 1.0.0-rc.20 — KBN-101 Envelope A: declarative sink-RBAC + per-role connection-selection + RLS write-source + sink-resident User-override
+
+- **Choice:** adds the fixed User/Orchestrator/others runtime rung-roles (per-ROLE, deny-by-default; `mosaic_runtime_user`, `mosaic_runtime_orchestrator` + their capability roles), amends the frozen §4 L176 CONNECT allowlist for the two new logins (TEMPORARY-denied), and authorizes declarative RLS `WITH CHECK`/`USING` + `FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` + a sink-resident `task_status_write_override` table on `tasks` — a schema-v1 mechanism addition beyond the prior grant/revoke-only model.
+- **No per-federated-user topology:** DB-role/credential cardinality remains fixed at 3, independent of federated-user count; the override table is keyed `(workspace_id, task_id, tier)`, never per-writer; per-writer attribution is a metadata column (`task_events.actor_id`), never a DB principal.
+- **Non-effect:** rc.4 SI-001, all KCR-001–016 decisions, and every prior rc (rc.5–rc.16) invariant not explicitly named above remain unchanged. Introduces no new principal, key, or per-user authority axis (Q1 HALT boundary not hit).
+- **Authority:** Jason B1 ruling + Mos OPTION A (home the layer) + Mos Q1 (TIER-LEVEL) + Mos Q2 (RLS `WITH CHECK` authorized, two mandatory conditions — `ENABLE`/`FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` as terminal migration step, non-owner rung roles). Exact implementation detail is normative in [`KBN-101-DB-ROLE-SPLIT.md`](./KBN-101-DB-ROLE-SPLIT.md) §4/§10 and the KBN-101 Envelope A v6 record.
+- **Gate:** lands as `KBN-101-10` (new owner card) + responsibility-widenings on `KBN-101-00/01/02/03/05/06`; the `tasks`/override-table DDL itself is homed in the **KBN-100** producer (starts after KBN-101-08) per the existing §4 L178 producer/consumer precedent — a SPEC note today, not an immediate implementation.

 ### 1.0.0-rc.16 — Current generic storage-wrapper authority closure
 
 - **Current-source truth:** `packages/storage/src/cli.ts` currently shells `storage migrate --run` directly to `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/db db:migrate` through `execSync`; no `mosaic-db-migrator` executable exists. README and user-guide command guidance therefore remove that command and any runner-delegation claim. The current wrapper is legacy N-1, uncertified, non-operative, and MUST NOT be invoked pending KBN-101-02/-03/-06/-08 activation.
@@ -79,14 +87,14 @@
 - **Exact ledger:** manifest v1 canonically serializes journal logical index/tag and SHA-256 of exact shipped migration bytes. It maps each observed ledger hash to one tuple; physical insertion order is non-normative, while missing/unknown/duplicate/ambiguous/corrupt/stale states fail closed. Shipped `0009` bytes remain unchanged; a missing/effects-absent `0009` runs normally, an applied-late hash maps normally, and partial/full effects with missing hash require backup restoration or separately reviewed repair—not manual adoption.
 - **TLS/search path:** operator/IaC owns CA and server leaf lifecycle, exact compose/Swarm secret mounts, server TLS activation, service-DNS SANs, verified-TLS readiness, transition, CA overlap rotation, and rollback. Runtime/migrator use `verify-full`; PGlite is not PostgreSQL TLS evidence. Application sessions use only `pg_catalog,mosaic`; no URL/config-derived identifier reaches SQL.
 - **Safe release:** cards 00–07 land prepared but inactive; owner-runtime deployments remain N-1. Mosaic control plane/Jason alone authorizes one atomic TLS/roles → runner → readiness → runtime activation or rollback. No runtime-operator compatibility switch, bypass, plaintext interval, or force-on-red exists; all temporary support is removed before KBN-101-08.

 ### 1.0.0-rc.5 — KBN-101 role/connection split
 
 - **Choice:** PostgreSQL `standalone` and `federated` runtime uses `DATABASE_URL` only as a non-owner `mosaic_runtime` login; an explicit migration phase uses `DATABASE_MIGRATION_URL` only as `mosaic_migrator`, which `SET ROLE`s to non-login `mosaic_schema_owner` for DDL. Local PGlite remains an explicit embedded exception.
 - **No fallback / no startup DDL:** missing migration URL fails the migration phase; it never falls back to runtime URL/default/config. Gateway replicas do not run migrations. An advisory-locked migration phase verifies the exact ordered Drizzle ledger fingerprint before replicas may become ready.
 - **Privilege model:** non-login `mosaic_platform_database_owner` is outside application paths; `mosaic_schema_owner` owns only application/ledger schemas. `mosaic_runtime` has only `mosaic_runtime_capability`, owns no object/schema, cannot assume owner/migrator, has no TEMPORARY privilege, has only read access to the Drizzle ledger, and must fail startup if effective identity, unsafe attributes, authenticated TLS, search path, schema version, grants, or immutable relation privileges differ from the frozen contract. `task_events`, `artifacts`, `task_checkpoints`, `task_checkpoint_artifacts`, and `approval_decision_artifacts` grant runtime only INSERT/SELECT; KBN-100 retains RESTRICT/no-cascade semantics.
-- **Non-effect:** rc.4 SI-001 candidate-key/FK order and all KCR-001–016 tenancy, SOT, proposal-audit, approval, fence, recovery, no-cascade, endpoint, and wire invariants are unchanged. This amendment neither creates roles/secrets nor changes production deployment.

+
+- **Status:** DRAFT — for Team Lead → Orchestrator staffing

+- **Date:** 2026-07-24
+- **Program:** Mosaic Stack comms-evolution

+---
+
+## 0. TL;DR
+
+We are building a **Mosaic-native comms layer on Matrix**. We self-host a **Synapse** homeserver and register a privileged **Mosaic Application Service** (the "appservice") that the orchestrator controls. The appservice bulk-provisions one Matrix identity per agent-spin, creates and manages rooms, posts agent introductions, and tracks presence/liveness. Agents talk to it through a thin `packages/comms` client SDK. **tmux stays the P0 same-host fast path**; Matrix is the durable, presence-aware, federated layer above it, and **MACP** (the Mosaic Agent Comms Protocol) is the standard that says which path to use when. Federation is **per-site Synapse homeservers federated over TLS we control** — a direct answer to "the homelab agent went dark and took comms with it." We adopt **Buzz's patterns** (auto-detect/enroll, signed identity, unified event log, humans-and-agents on one surface) without adopting Buzz/Nostr as transport. We migrate off Hermes by the **strangler** pattern: stand native alongside, move channels as proven, retire at parity.
+
+The **first standalone shippable slice is presence** (P1).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goals / Non-Goals
+
+### 1.1 Goals
+
+- **G1 — Presence & liveness first.** A Team Lead must be able to answer "is my coordinator online, away, or dead?" in seconds, not by polling for 13 hours. Presence is the P1 slice and ships before anything else.
+- **G2 — A native backbone we own.** Replace _Hermes-as-backbone_ with a self-hosted Synapse + a Mosaic-controlled appservice. External chat bridging becomes an optional edge, not the spine.
+- **G3 — Turnkey harness enrollment.** `mosaic enroll` auto-detects the harness and self-registers the agent via the appservice on spin. No hand-rolled per-bot identity juggling.
+- **G4 — A real protocol (MACP v1).** Structured, versioned event schema over Matrix custom event types; a documented routing contract for tmux vs Matrix; a documented escalation policy.
+- **G5 — No central SPOF.** Per-site homeservers federated over TLS/DNS we already control, so one site going dark cannot take the fleet's comms with it.
+- **G6 — Gate-action integrity.** Reviews / merges / approvals carry **signed authorship** (Buzz pattern) so a gate-critical action is cryptographically attributable, retiring the fragile "distinct bot identity" juggling.
+
+### 1.2 Non-Goals
+
+- **NG1 — Do NOT rip out working comms mid-MVP.** tmux fast-path and the existing `mos-comms` git-branch channel keep working until their replacement is proven at parity. This RFC is strangler, not big-bang.
+- **NG2 — tmux is NOT being replaced.** tmux inter-agent comms remains **P0**. Matrix is _above_ it, not instead of it. MACP defines the boundary; it does not move it.
+- **NG3 — Not adopting Buzz/Nostr as transport.** We adopt Buzz's _patterns_; the wire is Matrix.
+- **NG4 — Not building a new chat client in P1–P4.** HIL uses an existing Matrix client (Element or equivalent) until/unless a custom client is justified (open question, §11).
+- **NG5 — Not federating to the public Matrix network.** Federation is Mosaic-site-to-Mosaic-site over infrastructure we control. Public `matrix.org` federation is out of scope (and should likely be firewalled off).
+- **NG6 — Not a Hermes feature-clone.** We reach _parity on the channels that matter_ (§9 checklist), not bug-for-bug Hermes compatibility.

+Key idea: **the appservice is the backbone.** It is a long-lived privileged process registered with Synapse via an appservice registration file (`hs_token`/`as_token`, namespaces). It is the thing that used to be "Hermes-as-backbone," except we own it, it is inside the orchestrator's control plane, and it speaks native Matrix.

+
+Notes on the steps that matter:
+
+- **Step 4/5** use the **Application Service API**: the appservice can register users inside its namespace (`@mosaic_*:site`) and act on their behalf. Two viable modes: (a) mint a real per-agent `access_token` via appservice login, or (b) have the appservice **masquerade** using `user_id` query param on C-S calls with the `as_token`. **Recommendation: mint per-agent tokens** for P2 so the agent process holds only its own credential (blast-radius containment, §8); reserve masquerade for bulk/bootstrap operations the appservice itself performs. **[VERIFY]** exact token-lifetime and refresh behavior against the running Synapse version.
+- **Step 9** — the introduction is both a human-readable `m.room.message` _and_ a structured `mosaic.introduction` custom event (so other agents can machine-parse capabilities without scraping prose).
+- **Step 10/11** — presence goes online immediately, then a **heartbeat** keeps liveness fresh. Native Matrix presence auto-decays to `unavailable`/`offline`, but we do **not** rely solely on it (Synapse presence timeouts are coarse and federation presence is lossy **[VERIFY]**); MACP adds an explicit `mosaic.presence` heartbeat event for deterministic liveness (§4.5, §5).

+
+## 3. Repo-home decision (RESOLVED — recommendation)
+
+The core tension: **product monorepo** (`mosaicstack/stack`, this checkout `/src/mosaic-stack`) vs **framework** (`~/.config/mosaic`, the agent/harness runtime that every agent shares regardless of product). The boundary rule I am ratifying:
+
+> **Product-monorepo owns the deployed _services and libraries_. Framework owns the _agent/harness contract_ — anything an agent needs the moment it spins, before any product code is checked out.**
+
+Applying that rule:
+
+| Piece                                                                        | Home                                                                                             | Rationale                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Synapse deployment** (compose/helm, config, TLS, `.well-known`, pipelines) | **Product monorepo** → `infra/matrix/` + CI in the monorepo's pipeline dir                       | It is deployed infrastructure with the same lifecycle/observability as Gateway/Web/DB. Lives beside other `infra/` and Woodpecker pipelines.                                                                                                                                              |
+| **Mosaic Appservice**                                                        | **Product monorepo** → `apps/matrix-appservice`                                                  | It is a first-class deployed service (NestJS-style app, same conventions: ESM, `@Inject()`, DTOs, OTEL-before-bootstrap). It talks to Synapse, holds `hs_token`/`as_token`, and is operated like any other app. It is **controlled by** the orchestrator but **is not** the orchestrator. |
+| **Client SDK**                                                               | **Product monorepo** → `packages/comms`                                                          | A workspace library consumed by product apps _and_ by harnesses. Published/linked like `packages/queue`, `packages/db`. Versioned with the product.                                                                                                                                       |
+| **MACP spec** (the standard doc + JSON schemas)                              | **Framework** → `~/.config/mosaic/spec/macp/` (mirrored/vendored into `packages/comms` at build) | The protocol is an agent-level contract that must exist independent of any one product checkout. Framework is the source of truth; `packages/comms` vendors a pinned copy so the SDK and spec cannot drift silently.                                                                      |
+| **`mosaic enroll` harness glue** (auto-detect, spin hook)                    | **Framework** → `~/.config/mosaic/tools/enroll/`                                                 | Agents/harnesses are framework-level. Enrollment must run _before_ the agent has product context; it cannot depend on `/src/mosaic-stack` being present. This is exactly parallel to the existing `~/.config/mosaic/tools/*` wrappers.                                                    |
+
+**Boundary summary:** _the wire and the services are product; the contract and the spin-time glue are framework._ The one deliberate coupling is **MACP**: framework is authoritative, but `packages/comms` pins a vendored copy and CI fails if they diverge, so an agent enrolling via framework and a service validating via `packages/comms` agree on the schema by construction.
+
+**Rejected alternative:** putting the appservice in the framework. Rejected because the appservice is a stateful, deployed, secret-holding network service that needs the product's CI/observability/secret plumbing; burying it in `~/.config/mosaic` would split its operational story from every other Mosaic service.
+
+---
+
+## 4. MACP v1 — the standard
+
+MACP (Mosaic Agent Comms Protocol) v1 is a **profile of Matrix**: it does not invent a transport, it constrains how Mosaic agents use Matrix so that behavior is uniform across harnesses. Versioned via a `macp_version` field on every custom event; v1 is frozen at ratification (P3).
+
+### 4.1 Enrollment contract
+
+`mosaic enroll` MUST, on agent spin, in order:
+
+1. **Auto-detect harness.** Detection order + signal:
+   - Claude Code — presence of the Claude Code runtime/env (e.g. `CLAUDE_CODE_*` env, `~/.claude`) **[VERIFY exact signal per harness]**
+   - Codex — Codex runtime markers
+   - Pi — Pi SDK runtime (`packages/agent` / `packages/mosaic` context)
+   - Goose — Goose runtime markers
+   - Fallback: explicit `--harness` flag; if undetectable, enroll as `generic` and warn.
+2. **Provision identity** — call appservice `POST /enroll` with `{agent_slug, harness, host, mission_id?, team_id?, capabilities[]}`. Appservice returns `{mxid, access_token, homeserver, rooms[]}` (§2.2 step 4–6).
+3. **Join rooms** — accept invites / join the returned room set per taxonomy (§4.6).
+4. **Introduce** — post `mosaic.introduction` (+ human-readable `m.room.message`) to each joined room.
+5. **Go present** — set Matrix presence `online` and start the `mosaic.presence` heartbeat loop.
+
+Enrollment is **idempotent**: re-running `mosaic enroll` for an existing agent slug rebinds to the same MXID (re-mints token if needed) rather than creating a duplicate identity. This is what retires the "distinct bot identity juggling."
+
+### 4.2 Structured event schema (Matrix custom event types)
+
+All MACP events carry a common envelope in `content`:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "macp_version": "1.0",
+  "macp_type": "<see below>",
+  "agent": { "mxid": "@mosaic_teamlead-3:site-a", "slug": "teamlead-3", "harness": "claude-code" },
+  "ts": 1753300000000,
+  "mission_id": "KBN-101",         // optional
+  "signature": { ... }             // present ONLY for gate actions, §4.4
+  // ...type-specific fields...
+}
+```
+
+Event types (Matrix `type` shown; timeline events use `m.room.message` with a custom `msgtype` where a human-visible fallback is desirable, state events use a dotted custom `type`):
+
+| MACP type             | Matrix carrier                                                                          | Purpose                                      | Notable fields                                                                                 |
+| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **message**           | `m.room.message`, `msgtype: "mosaic.message"` (+ `body` fallback)                       | ordinary agent/human chat                    | `body`, `thread?`                                                                              |
+| **presence**          | `m.room.message` msgtype `mosaic.presence` in fleet room **or** custom EDU-backed state | heartbeat/liveness ping                      | `status: online\|away\|offline`, `seq`, `interval_ms`                                          |
+| **workflow-step**     | state event `mosaic.workflow.step` (state_key = step id)                                | durable record of a workflow/mission step    | `step`, `status: started\|blocked\|done\|failed`, `detail`                                     |
+| **review / approval** | `m.room.message` msgtype `mosaic.review`                                                | a review verdict or merge/approval           | `subject` (PR/commit ref), `verdict: approve\|reject\|request-changes`, `signature` (REQUIRED) |
+| **escalation**        | `m.room.message` msgtype `mosaic.escalation`                                            | raise a stuck/dark condition to HIL/fallback | `reason`, `target`, `severity`, `since_ts`                                                     |
+
+Rationale for the carrier split: **timeline events** (`m.room.message` variants) are the durable, receipted, replayable log (this _is_ Buzz's "unified event log," §7). **State events** (`mosaic.workflow.step`, presence-as-state) give last-writer-wins current status that a newly-joined agent reads instantly from room state without replaying history.
+
+Every custom event is validated against a JSON Schema shipped in the MACP spec (§3). Unknown/newer `macp_version` → consumers MUST degrade gracefully (render `body`, ignore unknown fields).
+
+### 4.3 Agent identity model
+
+- **MXID:** appservice-namespaced `@mosaic_<slug>:<site-domain>`. The `mosaic_` prefix is the AS **user namespace** declared in the registration file (`namespaces.users` regex `@mosaic_.*`), so Synapse routes those users to our appservice and no human can squat the namespace.
+- **Provisioning:** exclusively via the appservice (AS API register). Never hand-created. One MXID per agent-spin; idempotent rebind on re-enroll (§4.1).
+- **Signed authorship** overlays identity for gate actions only (§4.4). MXID answers "who is this account"; signature answers "did the real key-holder authorize this gate action."
+
+### 4.4 Signed-authorship for gate-critical actions (Buzz pattern, scoped)
+
+Gate-critical = **reviews, merges, approvals** — anything that can move code to `main` or unblock a mission gate.
+
+- Each enrolled agent is issued (or generates) an **Ed25519 keypair**; the **public** key is registered with the appservice at enrollment and published as agent profile state (`mosaic.identity.pubkey`). Private key custody per §8.
+- A gate action event carries `content.signature = { alg: "ed25519", key_id, sig }` over a canonical serialization of the envelope (canonical-JSON of `{macp_type, agent.mxid, subject, verdict, ts, mission_id}`).
+- Verifiers (the appservice gate-watcher, and any agent acting on a verdict) MUST reject an unsigned or bad-signature gate event. Non-gate events are unsigned (keeps the hot path cheap).
+
+This is deliberately **narrow**: we do not sign every chat line (Buzz signs everything; we take the pattern only where forgery has teeth). Scope may widen post-P5 if warranted.
+
+### 4.5 Presence & liveness model
+
+Three visible states plus an explicit heartbeat:
+
+- **online** — agent set presence online AND last `mosaic.presence` heartbeat within `heartbeat_interval` (default **30s [VERIFY tuning]**) × miss-tolerance (default 2).
+- **away** — presence `unavailable`, or heartbeats late but < dark threshold.
+- **offline / dark** — no heartbeat for `dark_threshold` (default **N minutes**, policy value, §5/§11) OR presence `offline`.
+
+Why not rely on native Matrix presence alone: Synapse presence is (a) coarse-grained, (b) can be disabled for load reasons, and (c) **degrades across federation** **[VERIFY]**. So MACP layers an explicit heartbeat carried as a lightweight timeline/state event in the **fleet presence room**, giving a deterministic, federation-safe liveness signal the escalation watchdog (§5) can reason about. Native presence EDUs are still emitted (they make Element show the right dot for humans) but the _authoritative_ liveness source is the heartbeat.
+
+### 4.6 Room / channel taxonomy (orchestrator-owned)
+
+The **orchestrator** (via the appservice) owns room lifecycle. Agents never create backbone rooms ad hoc.
+
+| Room                    | Scope                                      | Membership                               | Purpose                                                                 |
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Fleet presence room** | one per site (federated view across sites) | every enrolled agent + HIL               | heartbeats, the single "who's alive" board. This is the P1 deliverable. |
+| **Per-mission room**    | one per mission (e.g. `#mission-KBN-101`)  | agents on that mission + Team Lead + HIL | workflow-steps, mission chat, reviews for that mission                  |
+| **Per-team room**       | one per team                               | team members + Team Lead                 | intra-team coordination                                                 |
+| **HIL room**            | one (or one per site)                      | humans + escalation-privileged agents    | where escalations land; Jason's pane on the fleet                       |
+
+Rooms are created with orchestrator-controlled power levels: appservice = admin (PL100), Team Leads elevated, worker agents default. Room aliases (`#mission-KBN-101:site-a`) are stable handles.
+
+### 4.7 tmux ↔ Matrix routing rules (the fast-path/durable boundary)
+
+MACP mandates this decision per message. **Default bias: if it must survive the agent, be seen by an offline party, cross a host, or be audited — Matrix. If it is same-host, synchronous, and ephemeral — tmux.**
+
+| Signal                                                           | Route                                          | Why                                                                         |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Same-host, live pane-to-pane prompt/nudge, sub-second need       | **tmux (P0)**                                  | lowest latency, no server round-trip; this is the working fast path we keep |
+| Recipient may be offline / on another host                       | **Matrix**                                     | durability + store-and-forward; tmux can't reach a dark or remote pane      |
+| Presence / heartbeat / liveness                                  | **Matrix**                                     | must be observable fleet-wide, including by the watchdog and HIL            |
+| Workflow-step, review/approval, escalation                       | **Matrix**                                     | must be durable, receipted, auditable, signed (gate acts)                   |
+| Cross-site anything                                              | **Matrix (federated)**                         | tmux is same-host only                                                      |
+| Bulk log spew / high-frequency scratch between co-located agents | **tmux**, with periodic **Matrix** checkpoints | avoid flooding the durable log; keep an audit checkpoint                    |
+
+Rule of thumb encoded in the SDK: `comms.send()` takes a `durability` hint; `ephemeral+same-host` short-circuits to tmux, everything else goes Matrix. A message can be **dual-routed** (tmux for immediacy + a Matrix checkpoint) when both speed and durability matter.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Coordinator-availability + HIL escalation (the 13h-stall / homelab-dark fix)
+
+**The failure we are killing:** a Team Lead blocked ~13h, polling every 15 min, unable to distinguish "coordinator offline" from "coordinator busy"; and a homelab agent that goes dark taking comms with it.
+
+**The fix — presence-driven, policy-encoded escalation:**
+
+1. **Deterministic liveness (§4.5).** Every agent heartbeats into the fleet presence room. The appservice **escalation watchdog** subscribes and maintains `last_seen` per agent. No polling by the Team Lead — it _subscribes_ (Matrix `/sync` long-poll) and is pushed state changes.
+
+2. **Encoded policy in MACP:** a machine-readable escalation policy attached to each agent/role, e.g.:
+
+   ```jsonc
+   {
+     "role": "team-lead",
+     "coordinator": "@mosaic_coordinator-1:site-a",
+     "dark_threshold_min": 10, // OPEN QUESTION §11 — Jason/Mos to set N
+     "on_coordinator_dark": {
+       "action": "escalate",
+       "fallback": "@mosaic_coordinator-2:site-b", // cross-site fallback
+       "then": "notify-HIL",
+       "hil_room": "#hil:site-a",
+     },
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Detection & action by the Team Lead:** when the watchdog (or the Team Lead's own SDK) observes `coordinator.last_seen > dark_threshold`, it:
+   - emits a `mosaic.escalation` event into the mission room and the HIL room (`reason: "coordinator dark", since_ts, severity`),
+   - **re-routes** to the declared fallback coordinator (possibly on another site — this is why federation matters),
+   - if no fallback answers within a second threshold, pages **HIL** (Jason) in the HIL room.
+     The Team Lead **never sits blocked polling**; a dark coordinator is a _pushed event_, and the fallback/HIL path is automatic.
+
+4. **Homelab-dark specifically:** because heartbeats are federated into a cross-site fleet room, a whole _site_ going dark is visible from other sites — the watchdog on site-B sees site-A's coordinator stop heartbeating and triggers the same escalation. A dark homelab can no longer silently strand its agents, because the liveness signal and the fallback live _off that host_.
+
+**Design invariant:** liveness authority and fallback targets must never be co-located with the thing they monitor. The watchdog for site-A's coordinator should also run (or be mirrored) on site-B.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Federation (P4)
+
+**Model:** each site runs its **own Synapse homeserver** with its **own Mosaic appservice** and its own agents. Sites **federate** with each other over the standard Matrix server-to-server (S2S) API, restricted to Mosaic sites.
+
+**Why per-site, not one central server:**
+
+- **No SPOF.** The homelab going dark is the founding trauma of this program. A single central homeserver would recreate exactly that risk at fleet scale. Per-site means a site outage is contained: its agents drop, but every other site's comms and the cross-site fleet room survive.
+- **Locality.** Same-site agents get low-latency local homeserver traffic; only cross-site events pay the federation cost.
+- **Blast radius.** A compromised or misbehaving site can be defederated without touching the rest.
+
+**How federation is wired (real Matrix mechanics):**
+
+- **Server discovery** via `https://<domain>/.well-known/matrix/server` returning `{"m.server": "matrix.<domain>:443"}`, and/or an `_matrix._tcp` **SRV** record. We control the DNS/domains, so we control the federation graph. **[VERIFY]** current `.well-known` vs SRV precedence for the deployed Synapse version.
+- **TLS:** federation requires valid TLS on the federation endpoint; we terminate with certs from our own CA/ACME on domains we own.
+- **Allowlist:** use Synapse `federation_domain_whitelist` to restrict federation to the set of Mosaic site domains — **no public-network federation** (NG5). This is a hard security boundary.
+- **Cross-site rooms:** the fleet presence room and any cross-mission rooms are federated rooms whose membership spans site homeservers. Room state replicates via S2S; presence heartbeats propagate as events (not relying on lossy presence EDUs across federation, §4.5).
+
+**Cross-site identity:** an agent on site-B is `@mosaic_<slug>:site-b`. The signed-authorship pubkey travels in profile state, so a site-A verifier can validate a site-B agent's gate action without trusting site-B's homeserver blindly (signature ≠ homeserver trust).
+
+---
+
+## 7. Buzz-pattern adoption map
+
+We adopt Buzz's **ideas**, on Matrix rails, phased:
+
+| Buzz idea                                           | Adopt?            | How, on Matrix                                                                                                            | Phase                                                      |
+| --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Harness auto-detect / enroll**                    | **Yes**           | `mosaic enroll` detects Claude/Codex/Pi/Goose and self-registers via the appservice (§4.1)                                | P2 (enroll v1); scan-machine-and-offer-integrate is **v2** |
+| **Keypair signed identity**                         | **Yes, scoped**   | Ed25519 signed-authorship on **gate actions only** (reviews/merges/approvals), pubkey in profile state (§4.4)             | P5 (hardening); keys issued at enroll from P2              |
+| **Unified event log (humans + agents, one log)**    | **Yes**           | Matrix room timeline _is_ the unified, receipted, replayable event log; MACP custom events are first-class entries (§4.2) | P2→P3                                                      |
+| **Humans and agents on the same surface**           | **Yes**           | HIL uses the same Matrix rooms via Element/custom client; escalations land where Jason already is (§4.6, §5)              | P1 (fleet room) → P2                                       |

+
+---
+
+## 8. Security
+
+- **Homeserver hardening.** Disable open registration (`enable_registration: false`); agents come only via the appservice. `federation_domain_whitelist` to Mosaic sites only (§6). Rate-limiting on. Media repo locked down or disabled if unused. Admin API bound to localhost / behind auth. Run Synapse behind our reverse proxy with TLS termination we control. **[VERIFY]** current recommended hardening flags for the deployed Synapse version.
+- **Appservice token custody (`hs_token` / `as_token`).** These are the crown jewels — `as_token` lets the holder act as any user in the namespace; `hs_token` authenticates the homeserver → appservice callbacks. They live **only** in the appservice's secret store (see Vault interaction below), never in an agent process, never in the SDK, never in git. Registration file (which contains them) is a secret artifact, mounted at deploy, not committed. Rotate on suspected exposure; rotation requires updating both Synapse's registration and the appservice.
+- **Per-agent credentials (the hard part — fleet key management).**
+  - Agents hold **only their own** per-agent `access_token` (minted by the appservice at enroll), not the `as_token`. Compromise of one agent ≠ compromise of the namespace.
+  - **Issuance:** at `mosaic enroll`, the appservice mints the token and returns it over the enroll channel (which must itself be authenticated — enroll requests carry a spin-time bootstrap secret / orchestrator-signed nonce **[VERIFY design in P2]**, so a random process can't enroll a rogue agent).
+  - **Signed-authorship keys:** Ed25519 private keys should be generated agent-side and only the public key leaves the agent (best custody: private key never transits the network). Where agents are ephemeral, keys are minted per-spin and discarded on teardown; the pubkey-in-profile record remains for audit.
+  - **Rotation:** tokens are short-lived where the Synapse version supports refresh **[VERIFY]**; otherwise the appservice supports explicit re-issue on re-enroll. A rotation runbook is a P2 deliverable.
+- **Federation TLS.** Valid certs on federation endpoints; whitelist-only federation; monitor for cert expiry (a cert lapse silently defederates a site — add to observability).
+- **Interaction with existing Vault/secrets.** The appservice's `hs_token`/`as_token` and the enroll bootstrap secret are stored in the existing secret manager (Vault or the project's chosen store — **open question §11**) and injected at deploy, consistent with how Gateway/DB secrets are handled today. No new bespoke secret store. Per-agent tokens are _transient runtime_ secrets, not persisted to Vault (they're re-mintable). **[VERIFY]** current Mosaic secret-management choice — the CLAUDE.md notes secrets/KBN work in flight, so align with whatever KBN-101 lands.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Migration — strangler off Hermes
+
+**Principle:** stand the native layer up _alongside_ Hermes, move channels over **as each is proven at parity**, retire Hermes only when the parity checklist is green. Never a flag-day cutover (NG1).
+
+**Sequence:**
+
+1. **Stand alongside.** Native Synapse + appservice + fleet presence room live in parallel; Hermes still carries everything it carries today. Presence (P1) is _additive_ — it gives us something Hermes never had, at zero risk to existing flows.
+2. **Move channels as proven.** Per channel (fleet presence → mission coordination → reviews/approvals → external-chat edge), cut traffic to Matrix, keep Hermes as hot fallback until the channel meets parity for a soak period.
+3. **Retire at parity.** When every checklist item is green and soaked, decommission the Hermes MCP bridge as backbone. (External chat platforms, if still needed, can be re-attached as a _bridge at the edge_ of Matrix rather than the spine.)
+
+**Parity checklist (must all be green before Hermes retires):**
+
+- [ ] Every message class Hermes carries today has a MACP equivalent (message, review/approval, escalation, workflow-step).
+- [ ] Presence/liveness is strictly better than today (it is: today = none).
+- [ ] Cross-site delivery works over federation with no central SPOF.
+- [ ] HIL (Jason) can see and act on escalations on the Matrix surface.
+- [ ] Signed-authorship enforced on gate actions (no unsigned merge/approve accepted).
+- [ ] `mosaic enroll` auto-onboards all four harnesses (Claude/Codex/Pi/Goose) with zero manual identity setup.
+- [ ] Delivery receipts / durability demonstrably ≥ Hermes (no lost messages over a soak window).
+- [ ] Runbooks exist: appservice token rotation, site defederation, dark-site escalation, homeserver restore.
+- [ ] Observability: appservice + Synapse traced into OTEL/Jaeger like the rest of the stack.
+- [ ] Rollback path documented (re-enable Hermes channel) for the soak period.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Phased delivery plan (P1 → P5) with acceptance criteria
+
+> This section is the decomposition surface: each phase → one or more missions for the orchestrator.
+
+### P1 — Presence / availability on a minimal single-site Synapse _(the first standalone shippable slice)_
+
+**Scope:** one Synapse homeserver, a **minimal** appservice (or even a scripted provisioner) whose only job is: register a handful of agent MXIDs, create the **fleet presence room**, and carry heartbeats; a minimal `packages/comms` slice that sets presence and heartbeats; native presence surfaced to a human via Element.
+**Acceptance criteria:**
+
+- A1. Single-site Synapse deployed (`infra/matrix/`), reachable over TLS, open registration OFF.
+- A2. ≥3 agents enroll (even if semi-manually) and appear in a **fleet presence room** with a live online/away/offline indicator.
+- A3. `mosaic.presence` heartbeat implemented; an agent killed hard flips to **offline/dark** within `dark_threshold` deterministically (not dependent on native presence timeout alone).
+- A4. A human (Jason) can open Element, join the fleet room, and see fleet liveness at a glance.
+- A5. Zero impact to existing tmux + `mos-comms` flows (they still work untouched).
+
+### P2 — Native appservice + orchestrator auto-enroll / room-provisioning
+
+**Scope:** full **`apps/matrix-appservice`** registered with Synapse (`hs_token`/`as_token`, namespaces); `mosaic enroll` harness auto-detect; orchestrator-owned room taxonomy; per-agent token minting; introductions.
+**Acceptance criteria:**
+
+- B1. Appservice registered with Synapse via registration file; owns `@mosaic_*` user namespace and room-alias namespace.
+- B2. `mosaic enroll` auto-detects all four harnesses (Claude/Codex/Pi/Goose) and self-registers on spin, idempotently.
+- B3. On spin, an agent is provisioned an MXID, minted its **own** access token, joined to the correct mission/team/fleet rooms, and posts a `mosaic.introduction`.
+- B4. Orchestrator can create/destroy mission & team rooms with correct power levels via the appservice.
+- B5. Enroll bootstrap is authenticated (a rogue local process cannot enroll a rogue agent).
+- B6. Appservice + Synapse traced into OTEL/Jaeger.
+
+### P3 — MACP v1 spec ratified
+
+**Scope:** freeze the standard (§4): envelope, event types + JSON Schemas, identity model, presence model, room taxonomy, tmux↔Matrix routing rules. Spec lives in framework (`~/.config/mosaic/spec/macp`), vendored+pinned into `packages/comms` with CI drift-check.
+**Acceptance criteria:**
+
+- C1. MACP v1 document ratified (MS-LEAD sign-off, Jason veto window closed).
+- C2. JSON Schemas for all five event types published; `packages/comms` validates outbound/inbound against them.
+- C3. CI fails if framework spec and vendored `packages/comms` copy diverge.
+- C4. Routing-rule conformance test: SDK provably sends ephemeral+same-host over tmux, everything else over Matrix.
+- C5. Unknown-`macp_version` graceful-degrade behavior tested.
+
+### P4 — Federation
+
+**Scope:** a second site homeserver + appservice; S2S federation over our DNS/TLS; cross-site fleet room; whitelist-only federation; cross-site escalation.
+**Acceptance criteria:**
+
+- D1. Two sites federate via `.well-known`/SRV over TLS we control; `federation_domain_whitelist` restricts to Mosaic sites (no public federation).
+- D2. A cross-site fleet presence room shows agents from both sites; heartbeats propagate as events across federation.
+- D3. **Homelab-dark test:** killing site-A's coordinator is observed from site-B within `dark_threshold`, and the escalation/fallback fires cross-site (§5).
+- D4. Cross-site gate action: a site-B agent's signed review is verified by a site-A verifier.
+- D5. Defederation runbook proven (a site can be cut off cleanly).
+
+### P5 — Buzz-hardening + signed-authorship + Hermes retired
+
+**Scope:** Ed25519 signed-authorship enforced on gate actions; security hardening pass; complete the strangler and retire Hermes at parity.
+**Acceptance criteria:**
+
+- E1. Every merge/approve/review gate action is signed; unsigned or bad-sig gate events are rejected by the appservice watcher and by consuming agents.
+- E2. Token/key rotation runbooks executed at least once in anger (rotate `as_token`, rotate a per-agent key).
+- E3. Security review complete: homeserver hardening flags, token custody, federation TLS/whitelist all verified.
+- E4. **Parity checklist (§9) fully green + soaked.**
+- E5. Hermes MCP bridge retired as backbone (optionally re-attached as an edge bridge only).
+
+---
+
+## 11. Open questions for Jason / Mos (need a human/coordinator ruling)
+
+1. **DNS / domains per site.** What domain(s) do we own and want to use per site for homeserver names and `.well-known` (e.g. `site-a.mosaicstack.dev`)? Federation identity is permanent-ish once agents mint MXIDs against it — this needs a ruling **before P1 hardens** because MXIDs bake in the domain.
+2. **Secret-management choice.** Is it Vault, or whatever KBN-101 lands? The appservice `hs_token`/`as_token` and enroll bootstrap secret custody depend on this (§8). CLAUDE.md signals secrets work is in flight — need the authoritative target.
+3. **N-minute escalation threshold.** What is `dark_threshold_min` for a coordinator, and the second threshold before HIL is paged (§5)? Default proposed: 10 min → fallback, +5 min → HIL. Jason/Mos to confirm per role.
+4. **HIL client: Element vs custom.** Do humans use off-the-shelf **Element** (fast, free, P1-ready) or do we invest in a custom HIL client? Proposed: **Element for P1–P4**, revisit custom only if HIL ergonomics demand it.
+5. **Ephemeral vs persistent agent keys.** For signed-authorship, do we mint Ed25519 keys per-spin (simplest custody, no long-term private key at rest) or issue durable per-agent keys (stable identity across spins, but key-at-rest custody problem)? Proposed: **per-spin**, pubkey retained for audit.
+6. **Federation topology / trust.** Full mesh between all sites, or hub-and-spoke-with-redundancy? Full mesh maximizes no-SPOF but grows O(n²); needs a call once site count is known.
+7. **Fallback-coordinator assignment authority.** Who assigns each Team Lead's fallback coordinator, and is it always cross-site? (Design invariant §5 wants the fallback off the monitored host — confirm this is acceptable operationally.)
+8. **Retention / compliance.** How long do we retain the Matrix event log (the unified audit trail)? Affects Synapse storage sizing and any purge policy.
+
+---
+
+## Appendix A — Real Matrix concepts this RFC leans on (quick reference)
+
+- **Application Service (AS) API** — a privileged service registered with the homeserver via a registration YAML declaring `id`, `url`, `as_token`, `hs_token`, and `namespaces` (users/aliases/rooms regexes). The homeserver pushes events to the AS in transactions; the AS can register/act-as users in its namespace. _(This is our appservice backbone.)_
+- **`hs_token` / `as_token`** — `hs_token`: homeserver→AS authentication on pushed transactions; `as_token`: AS→homeserver authentication, grants acting-as any namespaced user. Both are high-value secrets (§8).
+- **Masquerade (`user_id` query param)** — the AS may act as a namespaced user on C-S calls using `as_token` + `?user_id=`. We prefer per-agent tokens for blast-radius; masquerade for AS-internal bulk ops.
+- **Custom event types** — timeline events via `m.room.message` with a custom `msgtype` (keeps a human-visible `body` fallback) and/or fully custom `type` (dotted, e.g. `mosaic.workflow.step`); **state events** for last-writer-wins current status readable from room state without history replay.
+- **Presence EDUs** — native online/unavailable/offline signals; coarse and lossy over federation, so MACP adds an explicit heartbeat event as the authoritative liveness source (§4.5).
+- **Federation (S2S API)** — server-to-server over TLS; discovery via `/.well-known/matrix/server` and/or `_matrix._tcp` SRV; restrictable with `federation_domain_whitelist`.
+- **Synapse config knobs cited** — `enable_registration`, `federation_domain_whitelist`, appservice registration file, rate-limiting, admin API binding. **[VERIFY]** exact flags/paths against the deployed Synapse version at implementation time.
+
+_All Matrix mechanics above are cited from architecture knowledge and MUST be re-verified against the actual deployed Synapse version during P1 — every **[VERIFY]** in this document is a checkpoint, not an assumption._

+# RFC-002 — Install, Configuration & Topology for the Mosaic Matrix/MACP Comms System
+
+- **Status:** DRAFT — for Team Lead → Orchestrator staffing
+- **Author:** MS-LEAD (reviewer identity `ms-lead-reviewer`)
+- **Sponsor / veto:** Jason (human lead)
+- **Date:** 2026-07-24
+- **Program:** Mosaic Stack comms-evolution
+- **Companion to:** RFC-001 — _MACP: A Mosaic-Native, Matrix-Native Comms Layer_. RFC-001 is the architecture (self-hosted Synapse + Mosaic appservice backbone + `packages/comms` SDK + MACP standard + per-site federation). **RFC-002 is the config substrate the whole thing installs and runs on.**
+- **Audience:** Team Leads, the Mosaic orchestrator, infra, harness maintainers, and — critically — **strangers who install this open-source product on hardware we will never see.**
+
+> This is a **design document**. No code ships from this RFC. It is written to be decomposed into missions with per-phase acceptance criteria, and it slots under RFC-001's P1→P5. Every uncertain or must-live-validate claim is flagged **[VERIFY]**.
+
+> **The one framing that governs every decision below:** this is an **open-source product**. Someone we have never met will `git clone` it and run it on their own domains, their own DNS, their own certs, their own hardware. **NOTHING may hardcode our fleet's topology.** There is no `woltje.com` in the code, no assumption that DNS exists, no assumption that a second site exists. Every topology fact is **user-supplied config**. Where this doc uses `mosaic.woltje.com` / `mosaic.uscllc.com`, those are **illustrative operator values** (Jason's real installs), never defaults and never literals in the product.
+
+---
+
+## 0. TL;DR
+
+The comms system installs against a **user-supplied topology**, never a baked-in one. At install the operator declares exactly one of **three topology modes**: **(A) split-domain** (identity `server_name` ≠ homeserver host, wired via Matrix delegation — this is Jason's `mosaic.woltje.com` identity + `matrix.woltje.com` host setup), **(B) single-domain** (`server_name` == homeserver host), or **(C) IP-only standalone** (no DNS, no federation, fully supported for local/airgapped). **The PRIMARY/home instance is ALWAYS configured; federation is OPTIONAL.** A single standalone instance MUST work with zero federation.
+
+**Federation is a hard-gated capability: it REQUIRES DNS + valid certificates. IP-only federation is not possible and is not supported.** IP-only means standalone-only, forever, until the operator acquires DNS + certs.
+
+Certificates are **one ACME integration** with a user-chosen **directory URL**: either **step-ca** (self-hosted private ACME CA, for total control and private/internal domains public CAs can't issue for) or **Let's Encrypt** (public ACME, ease-of-use). The operator also picks a challenge type (HTTP-01 / DNS-01 / TLS-ALPN-01); **DNS-01 is the answer for private/split-horizon domains.**
+
+Secrets go through a **pluggable `SecretBackend` interface** — no forced paid dependency. Ships with a **Vault** implementation and a **Vaultwarden** implementation; the operator picks at install. The Vaultwarden model (org + orchestrator enrolled as authority + per-agent scoped access) is designed-for, with an honest **[VERIFY]** on how far Vaultwarden's machine-account coverage has matured.
+
+Config is **DB-backed with sane defaults and install-time overrides**. Precedence: **install-time → DB override → default.** Config is split into **install-time-immutable** (e.g. `server_name`, which is baked into every MXID and cannot change without re-homing every identity) and **runtime-tunable** (e.g. dark-threshold).
+
+RFC-002 is the substrate; **RFC-001's P1 (presence) needs only Mode A/B single-instance clean-domain and does NOT require federation, IP-only, or the secret-backend rotation story resolved.**
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goals / Non-Goals
+
+### 1.1 Goals
+
+- **G1 — Installable by a stranger.** A person with no relationship to our fleet can install, configure, and run the comms system from published artifacts and a guided installer, on their own hardware and domains, with no edits to product code.
+- **G2 — Zero hardcoded topology.** Every topology fact — `server_name`, homeserver host/IP, delegation method, federation peers, cert mode, secret backend — is **user-supplied config**, validated at install, stored in the product DB. No fleet-specific literal ships in the product.
+- **G3 — Standalone MUST work.** The PRIMARY instance is always fully functional with **zero federation**, including with **no DNS at all** (Mode C, IP-only). Presence, rooms, MACP, HIL-via-Element all work single-instance.
+- **G4 — Federation is optional but honestly gated.** Federation is opt-in and, when opted into, **requires DNS + valid certificates as a hard precondition.** The installer must refuse to _claim_ federation is working when the DNS/cert preconditions aren't met.
+- **G5 — One ACME integration, two CA choices.** Build a single ACME cert-provisioning path; the operator selects step-ca or Let's Encrypt by supplying an **ACME directory URL** plus a challenge type. No second, bespoke cert path.
+- **G6 — No forced paid dependency for secrets.** A pluggable `SecretBackend` with at least Vault and Vaultwarden implementations, chosen at install. Open-source ethos: the free/self-hostable path must be first-class.
+- **G7 — Defaults that just work, overrides where they matter.** DB-backed config with sane defaults so most operators change little; install-time overrides for the topology-critical values; a clear immutable-vs-tunable boundary so operators can't foot-gun `server_name`.
+- **G8 — A clean upgrade path.** An operator who starts standalone can later turn on federation with a documented, honest procedure (including the real cost if they started IP-only and must now acquire a stable `server_name`).
+
+### 1.2 Non-Goals
+
+- **NG1 — Not hosting a managed service.** This RFC is about _self-install_. We are not building multi-tenant SaaS provisioning; each operator runs their own instance(s).
+- **NG2 — Not a new cert stack.** We do not write our own CA, our own ACME client protocol, or a non-ACME cert path. We integrate ACME and let the operator point it at step-ca or Let's Encrypt. (We _may_ bundle/recommend step-ca as the self-hosted CA, but via its standard ACME provisioner, not a fork.)
+- **NG3 — Not a new secret manager.** We define an interface and ship adapters. We do not build a secret store; we do not force one.
+- **NG4 — Not public-network Matrix federation.** Consistent with RFC-001 NG5: federation is Mosaic-site-to-Mosaic-site over infrastructure the operator controls, allowlisted. No `matrix.org` federation.
+- **NG5 — Not making IP-only federate.** We will not ship a hack (self-signed S2S trust bundles, `/etc/hosts` federation) that pretends IP-only can federate. IP-only is standalone. This is a deliberate, honest boundary (§2.4, §7).
+- **NG6 — Not re-homing identities silently.** We will not offer a "just change your `server_name`" button that quietly orphans every MXID. Any path that changes `server_name` is a flagged, gated, documented identity re-home (§5.3, §7).
+
+---
+
+## 2. The topology model
+
+### 2.1 The core split: `server_name` vs homeserver host
+
+Matrix has exactly the split Jason described, natively:
+
+- **`server_name`** — the Synapse config value that is the server's **identity domain**. It is the part after the colon in every MXID (`@mosaic_agent:mosaic.woltje.com`) and every room alias (`#mission-KBN-101:mosaic.woltje.com`). It is **baked into every identity the moment that identity is minted.** Changing it re-homes everything. This is `server_name` in Synapse's `homeserver.yaml`.
+- **Homeserver host** — the actual network location (hostname:port or IP:port) where the Synapse process answers federation and (optionally proxied) client traffic. It **can differ** from `server_name`. Matrix reconciles the difference through **delegation**: `https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server` returning `{"m.server": "matrix.woltje.com:443"}`, and/or a `_matrix._tcp.<server_name>` **SRV** record. **[VERIFY]** `.well-known` vs SRV precedence on the deployed Synapse version (RFC-001 §6 flags the same).
+
+So Jason's "mosaic._ app-domain + matrix._ homeserver-domain" split maps precisely: **`server_name = mosaic.woltje.com` (identity, in MXIDs), homeserver runs at `matrix.woltje.com` (discovered via delegation).** That is **Mode A**.
+
+### 2.2 The topology config schema
+
+One canonical config object, stored in the product DB (§5), populated at install (§6). Illustrative shape (field names decomposition-ready, not frozen):
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "topology": {
+    "mode": "split-domain | single-domain | ip-only-standalone", // A | B | C — install-time-immutable

+
+### 2.3 The three modes, concretely
+
+Exactly three supported modes (Jason's ruling — no others):
+
+**Mode A — split-domain (identity ≠ host, delegated).** _Jason's PRIMARY._ Federation-capable. This is the recommended production shape because it lets identity live on a clean app-domain while the homeserver runs on a separate operational host.
+
+```jsonc
+// Mode A — mosaic.woltje.com identity, matrix.woltje.com host, federated with a second site
+{
+  "topology": {
+    "mode": "split-domain",
+    "identity": { "server_name": "mosaic.woltje.com", "server_name_kind": "domain" },
+    "homeserver": {
+      "host": "matrix.woltje.com",
+      "port": 443,
+      "client_bind": "https://matrix.woltje.com",
+      "bind_ip": null,
+    },
+    "delegation": {
+      "method": "well-known",
+      "well_known_server": { "m.server": "matrix.woltje.com:443" },
+    },
+    "federation": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "domain_whitelist": ["mosaic.woltje.com", "mosaic.uscllc.com"],
+      "peers": [{ "server_name": "mosaic.uscllc.com", "role": "secondary", "fleet_room": true }],
+    },
+    "tls": {
+      "acme": {
+        "directory_url": "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory", // public LE, or a step-ca directory
+        "ca_kind": "letsencrypt",
+        "challenge": "dns-01",
+        "account_email": "ops@woltje.com",
+      },
+      "client_tls_mode": "acme",
+    },
+    "secrets": {
+      "backend": "vaultwarden",
+      "connection": { "address": "https://vw.woltje.com", "namespace_or_org": "mosaic-fleet" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+MXIDs on this instance: `@mosaic_coordinator-1:mosaic.woltje.com`. A human/agent's homeserver is discovered by resolving `.well-known/matrix/server` on `mosaic.woltje.com` → `matrix.woltje.com:443`.
+
+**Mode B — single-domain (identity == host).** Simpler; the `server_name` _is_ the host. No delegation needed. Federation-capable (still needs DNS + cert on that one domain).
+
+```jsonc
+// Mode B — one domain does everything
+{
+  "topology": {
+    "mode": "single-domain",
+    "identity": { "server_name": "matrix.example.org", "server_name_kind": "domain" },
+    "homeserver": {
+      "host": "matrix.example.org",
+      "port": 8448,
+      "client_bind": "https://matrix.example.org",
+      "bind_ip": null,
+    },
+    "delegation": { "method": "none" },
+    "federation": { "enabled": false, "domain_whitelist": [], "peers": [] }, // optional — off here
+    "tls": {
+      "acme": {
+        "directory_url": "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory",
+        "ca_kind": "letsencrypt",
+        "challenge": "http-01",
+        "account_email": "admin@example.org",
+      },
+      "client_tls_mode": "acme",
+    },
+    "secrets": {
+      "backend": "vault",
+      "connection": { "address": "https://vault.example.org:8200", "namespace_or_org": "mosaic" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+MXIDs: `@mosaic_coordinator-1:matrix.example.org`. Here `server_name == host`, so `@:matrix.example.org` is both the identity domain and where Synapse actually answers.
+
+**Mode C — IP-only standalone (no DNS, no federation).** Fully supported for local/airgapped/homelab-without-DNS. `server_name` is an IP:port literal. **Cannot federate — ever — in this mode** (federation requires a real domain + valid CA cert; §2.4). Client TLS may be self-signed (weaker trust, §8).
+
+```jsonc
+// Mode C — airgapped / local, no DNS, standalone only
+{
+  "topology": {
+    "mode": "ip-only-standalone",
+    "identity": { "server_name": "192.168.1.50:8448", "server_name_kind": "ip" },
+    "homeserver": {
+      "host": "192.168.1.50",
+      "port": 8448,
+      "client_bind": "https://192.168.1.50:8448",
+      "bind_ip": "192.168.1.50",
+    },
+    "delegation": { "method": "none" },
+    "federation": { "enabled": false, "domain_whitelist": [], "peers": [] }, // FORCED false in Mode C
+    "tls": { "acme": null, "client_tls_mode": "self-signed" }, // may use a private step-ca or self-signed for C-S TLS
+    "secrets": {
+      "backend": "vaultwarden",
+      "connection": { "address": "http://192.168.1.51:8080", "namespace_or_org": "mosaic-local" },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+MXIDs: `@mosaic_coordinator-1:192.168.1.50:8448`. **Warning surfaced at install:** this `server_name` is an IP literal; if the operator ever wants federation they must move to a domain, which is an **identity re-home** (§5.3, §7).
+
+> **[VERIFY]** Synapse accepts an `ip:port` `server_name` and mints usable MXIDs against it for local/standalone use. This is believed workable for non-federated operation but must be validated against the deployed Synapse version; some Synapse versions/tools assume a DNS-resolvable `server_name`. If an IP literal is rejected, Mode C falls back to a **fabricated local domain** (e.g. `mosaic.local`) resolved via `/etc/hosts` or a local resolver — still standalone-only, same re-home caveat.
+
+### 2.4 The hard federation gate (Jason's HARD STOP)
+
+**Federation REQUIRES DNS + valid certificates. This is a hard stop, enforced by the installer and by the config validator, not a suggestion.**
+
+| Precondition                                                               | Why                                                                                                | Enforced where                                                                                                   |
+| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `server_name` resolves in public/peer DNS (or delegated target does)       | S2S discovery uses `.well-known`/SRV over DNS; peers must resolve you                              | installer reachability check (§6); config validator rejects `federation.enabled=true` with `server_name_kind=ip` |
+| Valid TLS cert on the federation endpoint, chained to a CA the peer trusts | S2S is TLS; a peer validates your cert. Self-signed/untrusted ⇒ peer refuses ⇒ you are defederated | installer cert probe (§6); cert monitor (§3.4)                                                                   |
+| Federation `domain_whitelist` non-empty and mutually consistent with peers | allowlist-only federation (RFC-001 NG5/§6)                                                         | config validator                                                                                                 |
+
+**IP-only ⇒ federation is impossible.** There is no valid public/peer CA cert for a bare IP in our trust model (and we will not ship a self-signed S2S trust hack — NG5). Therefore **Mode C is standalone-only by construction**, and the config validator makes `mode=ip-only-standalone ∧ federation.enabled=true` an **illegal state that cannot be persisted.**
+
+This is the honest, load-bearing boundary of the whole topology model:
+
+```
+        DNS + valid cert?
+        ┌─────────────┴─────────────┐
+       YES                          NO
+        │                            │
+ Mode A or B                     Mode C (IP-only)
+ federation OPTIONAL          STANDALONE ONLY
+ (opt-in, allowlisted)        (federation impossible)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Certificate provisioning — one ACME integration
+
+### 3.1 Single integration, directory-URL as the switch
+
+We build **exactly one** cert-provisioning integration: an **ACME client integration**. Both supported CAs are ACME CAs. The operator does **not** choose between two code paths; they choose an **ACME directory URL** and a **challenge type**. That is the entire surface.
+
+| CA choice               | What it is                      | ACME directory URL (illustrative)                                                     | Why an operator picks it                                                                                                                                                       |
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| **step-ca (Smallstep)** | self-hosted **private** ACME CA | `https://acme.<internal-domain>/acme/<provisioner>/directory`                         | **Total control**; issues for **private/internal/split-horizon domains** a public CA can't (e.g. `mosaic.internal`, RFC-1918 split-horizon); airgap-friendly; you own the root |
+| **Let's Encrypt**       | public ACME CA                  | `https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory` (staging: `.../acme-staging-v02...`) | **Ease of use**; universally trusted chain (ISRG Root X1); zero CA to operate; ideal for public domains                                                                        |
+
+Because both speak ACME, the same client (account key, order, authorization, challenge, finalize, cert-fetch, renew) drives either. The `ca_kind` label in config is informational for UX; the **`directory_url` is the real determinant**. **[VERIFY]** whether the chosen ACME library requires per-CA quirks (LE rate limits, staging switch; step-ca **External Account Binding** on some provisioners — if EAB is required the `kid`/`hmac_key` come from the SecretBackend, §4).
+
+### 3.2 Challenge-type matrix (which challenge for which topology)
+
+The operator picks one challenge type per the domains they're covering. This is the crux for **public vs private/split-horizon**:
+
+| Challenge       | How it proves control                                                   | Best for                                                                                                                   | Cannot / caveat                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
+| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **HTTP-01**     | CA GETs `http://<domain>/.well-known/acme-challenge/<token>` on port 80 | **Public, single hostname**, port 80 reachable from CA (Mode B, or Mode A's homeserver host)                               | Needs inbound :80 from the CA; **cannot** do wildcards; **useless for private domains** a public CA can't reach                                                                                                                         |
+| **DNS-01**      | CA checks a `_acme-challenge.<domain>` **TXT** record you publish       | **Private / split-horizon / internal domains**, **wildcards**, and any domain where inbound HTTP from the CA is impossible | Requires **programmatic DNS API** access to publish TXT (or manual for step-ca where you own the resolver). **This is the answer for step-ca on private domains** and for Mode A when the homeserver host isn't publicly HTTP-reachable |
+| **TLS-ALPN-01** | CA connects TLS on :443 with ALPN `acme-tls/1`                          | Public host where **:443 is free** but :80 is blocked                                                                      | Needs the ACME client to own the :443 TLS handshake briefly; awkward behind some reverse proxies — **[VERIFY]** against our proxy (RFC-001 terminates TLS at a reverse proxy)                                                           |
+
+**Guidance baked into the installer:**
+
+- **Let's Encrypt + public domain, port 80 open →** HTTP-01 (simplest). Wildcard or no inbound :80 → DNS-01.
+- **step-ca + private/internal/split-horizon domain →** **DNS-01** (the private CA can validate against a resolver you control; public HTTP reachability is irrelevant). This is the combination that lets a private homelab domain get real certs.
+- **:443-only public host →** TLS-ALPN-01.
+
+### 3.3 Delegation setup for split-domain (Mode A)
+
+For Mode A, the cert and the delegation must agree. Concretely, at install for `server_name=mosaic.woltje.com`, host `matrix.woltje.com`:
+
+1. **Cert(s):** obtain a valid cert for **`matrix.woltje.com`** (the federation/host endpoint — this is where the TLS handshake actually lands). If serving `.well-known` over HTTPS on `mosaic.woltje.com`, that origin **also** needs a valid cert for `mosaic.woltje.com`. So Mode A typically provisions **two** SANs/certs: identity-domain (`mosaic.woltje.com`, serves `.well-known`) and host (`matrix.woltje.com`, serves S2S+C-S). **[VERIFY]** whether a single multi-SAN cert is preferable operationally.
+2. **Delegation record**, one of:
+   - **`.well-known`:** serve `https://mosaic.woltje.com/.well-known/matrix/server` → `{"m.server":"matrix.woltje.com:443"}` (and `.well-known/matrix/client` for C-S discovery so agents/Element find the host).
+   - **SRV:** `_matrix._tcp.mosaic.woltje.com. IN SRV 10 0 443 matrix.woltje.com.` The installer **documents and validates** the record but the operator provisions it in their DNS (we don't run their DNS). **[VERIFY]** `.well-known` vs SRV precedence on the deployed Synapse.
+3. **Validate:** installer fetches the operator's own `.well-known`/SRV and confirms it points at the configured host, and that the host presents a valid cert (§6). Only then does it declare Mode A "federation-ready."
+
+### 3.4 Renewal & monitoring — a lapsed federation cert silently defederates
+
+**This is the operational trap and it must alarm.** ACME certs are short-lived (LE = 90 days; step-ca often shorter by policy). A federation cert that lapses does **not** throw a loud error — peers simply **stop trusting the S2S handshake and the site silently drops out of federation.** From inside, everything looks fine; from peers, the site went dark. That is exactly the "homelab went dark and took comms with it" trauma (RFC-001 §5), but caused by a cert, not a host.
+
+Requirements:
+
+- **Auto-renew** on the standard ACME schedule (renew at ~⅓ lifetime remaining; LE guidance ~30 days before expiry). The ACME integration owns this loop.
+- **Expiry monitoring as a first-class alarm.** Emit cert-days-remaining into OTEL/Jaeger metrics (consistent with RFC-001 §8's "monitor for cert expiry — a cert lapse silently defederates"). Alarm thresholds (e.g. warn <14d, critical <3d) are **runtime-tunable** config (§5).
+- **Federation-health probe:** periodically resolve our own delegation and validate our own cert _as a peer would_ (external vantage where possible), so a broken renewal is caught as "we would fail a peer's validation" before a peer notices.
+- **Escalation tie-in:** a critical cert-expiry or federation-health failure raises a `mosaic.escalation` (RFC-001 §4.2/§5) into the HIL room. A cert lapse is a fleet-visibility incident, not a silent config drift.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Secret backend interface
+
+### 4.1 The `SecretBackend` contract
+
+A single pluggable interface. The appservice and orchestrator depend on the **interface**, never on Vault or Vaultwarden directly. Chosen at install; swappable without touching callers. Illustrative contract (decomposition-ready, not frozen):
+
+```ts
+interface SecretBackend {
+  // --- static secret CRUD (appservice tokens, ACME EAB, DB creds) ---
+  get(ref: SecretRef): Promise<SecretValue>;
+  put(ref: SecretRef, value: SecretValue, opts?: { immutable?: boolean }): Promise<void>;
+  rotate(
+    ref: SecretRef,
+    next: SecretValue,
+  ): Promise<{ previous: SecretVersion; current: SecretVersion }>;
+  list(prefix: SecretRef): Promise<SecretRef[]>;
+  delete(ref: SecretRef): Promise<void>;
+
+  // --- agent-credential lifecycle (the fleet-identity part) ---
+  enrollAgent(input: {
+    agentSlug: string;
+    scope: CredentialScope; // which rooms/secrets this agent may read
+    ttl?: Duration; // ephemeral-by-default per RFC-001 §8
+  }): Promise<AgentCredentialHandle>; // wraps the per-agent access_token + optional pubkey record
+
+  revokeAgent(agentSlug: string): Promise<void>; // must be authoritative & immediate
+
+  // --- health / bootstrap ---
+  health(): Promise<BackendHealth>;
+  authenticateSelf(bootstrap: BootstrapAuth): Promise<void>; // how the appservice/orchestrator logs into the backend
+}
+```
+
+Design intent: **`get/put/rotate`** cover the static crown-jewel secrets (appservice `hs_token`/`as_token`, ACME account/EAB keys, DB DSN). **`enrollAgent/revokeAgent`** cover the _fleet-identity_ lifecycle — this is where RFC-001's "mint per-agent token at enroll, discard on teardown" (RFC-001 §4.1, §8) actually lands.
+
+### 4.2 How appservice / agent tokens map onto it
+
+RFC-001 defines three tiers of Matrix secret. They map cleanly:
+

+
+The key blast-radius property (RFC-001 §8) is preserved: agents receive **only their own** credential via `enrollAgent`; the `as_token` never leaves appservice scope.
+
+### 4.3 Vault implementation
+
+Vault maps naturally:
+
+- Static secrets → **KV v2** at a mount/namespace (`mosaic-fleet/`), with versioning giving `rotate` semantics for free.
+- **`enrollAgent`** → issue a scoped, TTL'd token or use **AppRole** / a scoped policy per agent; Vault's native TTL + revocation is exactly the transient per-agent model. `revokeAgent` → Vault token/lease revoke (authoritative, immediate).
+- **`authenticateSelf`** → the appservice authenticates to Vault via AppRole (role_id from config, secret_id injected at deploy) or a platform auth method; consistent with how Gateway/DB secrets are handled today (RFC-001 §8). **[VERIFY]** align with whatever KBN-101 lands for Mosaic secret management (CLAUDE.md flags secrets work in flight).
+- **Trade-off (honesty):** Vault is the most capable backend but is **not** the free-and-simple default for a hobbyist stranger; hence it must not be _forced_ (G6).
+
+### 4.4 Vaultwarden implementation + the org/enroll/revoke agent-account model
+
+Vaultwarden (self-hostable Bitwarden-compatible server) is the **open-source-ethos default candidate** — free, self-hostable, familiar. Jason's model, mapped onto Bitwarden/Vaultwarden's org primitives:
+
+1. **Operator creates one or more Bitwarden orgs** at install (e.g. `mosaic-fleet`).
+2. **The orchestrator is enrolled into the org and granted authority** to enroll/revoke agent sessions — it is the org's automation principal (admin/manager over an agents **collection**).
+3. **Agents get scoped credential access:** each agent gets access to a **collection** (or a personal vault provisioned for its spin) holding exactly the secrets its scope allows. `enrollAgent` = grant the agent principal access to its collection + provision its per-agent Matrix token entry; `revokeAgent` = remove the agent principal / revoke its access, immediately.
+4. **User + agents share scoped access:** the human operator and the agents both hold credentials in the same org, scoped by collection — humans and agents on one secret surface, mirroring RFC-001's "humans and agents on one comms surface" pattern.
+
+Mapping to the interface:
+
+| Interface op              | Vaultwarden mechanism                                                                                                                                                   |
+| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `get/put/rotate` (static) | items in an org **collection**; rotate = new item version / replace + old-version audit                                                                                 |
+| `enrollAgent`             | create/attach agent principal to its **collection**; provision per-agent token item, TTL enforced by our teardown (Vaultwarden itself is not TTL-native — see [VERIFY]) |
+| `revokeAgent`             | revoke the agent principal's org membership / collection access                                                                                                         |
+| `authenticateSelf`        | orchestrator authenticates as the org automation principal                                                                                                              |
+
+**HONEST MATURITY FLAG — [VERIFY]:** Bitwarden's clean **machine-account / service-account** primitive lives in **Bitwarden Secrets Manager**, and **Vaultwarden's coverage of Secrets Manager / machine accounts is partial and evolving.** What is known to work today on Vaultwarden: **orgs, collections, per-user (incl. a per-agent "user") vaults, and collection-scoped sharing.** What **may not** be fully there: the polished **machine-account API**, native short-TTL service credentials, and fine-grained programmatic access-token issuance equivalent to hosted Bitwarden Secrets Manager. **[VERIFY]** current Vaultwarden version's Secrets Manager / machine-account support before P-level commitment.
+
+**Why this is not a blocker:** the interface is designed so **either backend is viable**. If Vaultwarden's machine-account API isn't ready, the Vaultwarden adapter implements `enrollAgent` via the **personal-vault-per-agent + org-collection** model that works _today_ (create an agent principal, share the scoped collection, we enforce TTL via orchestrator teardown rather than backend-native TTL). If an operator needs backend-native short-TTL machine credentials now, they choose the **Vault** adapter. **We are not blocked on Vaultwarden maturing**, because the `SecretBackend` abstraction lets the polished-machine-account behavior land later without changing any caller.

+
+## 5. Config system
+
+### 5.1 Storage & precedence
+
+Config is **DB-backed** (Postgres, per the stack — CLAUDE.md/RFC-001), with sane defaults compiled into the product and install-time overrides. **Precedence, highest wins:**
+
+```
+install-time value   >   DB override (runtime)   >   compiled default
+```
+
+- **Compiled default** — ships in the product; what a stranger gets with zero config for every non-topology-critical key.
+- **Install-time value** — captured by the installer (§6), written to DB, and for **install-time-immutable** keys, **locked** (marked non-overridable).
+- **DB override** — runtime tuning via admin surface, allowed **only** for keys classified runtime-tunable.
+
+> Nuance: "install-time > DB override" applies to **immutable** keys — the install-time value is frozen and a DB override of it is rejected. For **tunable** keys, the DB override is the live value and the install-time value is just the initial seed. The classification (§5.3) is what makes the precedence unambiguous per key.
+
+### 5.2 DB schema shape
+
+Illustrative (Drizzle/Postgres, per stack conventions):
+
+```sql
+-- one row per config key
+CREATE TABLE comms_config (
+  key            text PRIMARY KEY,            -- e.g. 'topology.identity.server_name'
+  value          jsonb NOT NULL,              -- current effective value
+  source         text NOT NULL,               -- 'install' | 'db-override' | 'default'
+  mutability     text NOT NULL,               -- 'install-immutable' | 'runtime-tunable'
+  set_by         text,                        -- operator/agent/system that set it
+  set_at         timestamptz NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  CONSTRAINT immutable_not_overridable
+    CHECK (NOT (mutability = 'install-immutable' AND source = 'db-override'))
+);
+
+-- append-only audit of every change (esp. attempted immutable changes)
+CREATE TABLE comms_config_audit (
+  id         bigserial PRIMARY KEY,
+  key        text NOT NULL,
+  old_value  jsonb,
+  new_value  jsonb,
+  actor      text NOT NULL,
+  action     text NOT NULL,     -- 'set' | 'override' | 'rejected-immutable'
+  at         timestamptz NOT NULL DEFAULT now()
+);
+```
+
+The DB `CHECK` is a belt-and-braces backstop; the application-layer config service enforces mutability and records rejected immutable-change attempts in the audit table. Secrets are **referenced** here (a `SecretRef`), never stored inline — actual secret values live in the `SecretBackend` (§4).
+
+### 5.3 Install-time-immutable vs runtime-tunable — the key table
+
+The single most important classification: **what can never change after install** vs **what an operator tunes anytime.** Getting `server_name` on the wrong side of this line is a foot-gun that orphans every identity.
+
+| Config key                                       | Mutability                                 | Rationale / cost of change                                                                                                                   |

+| `topology.identity.server_name`                  | **install-immutable**                      | **baked into every MXID and room alias.** Changing it re-homes every identity — see re-home note below. **This is THE immutable value.**     |

+
+**Identity re-home note (the cost of changing `server_name`):** because every MXID (`@mosaic_*:server_name`) and room alias (`#…:server_name`) embeds `server_name`, changing it means: every agent gets a **new identity**, all rooms must be **recreated/re-aliased**, signed-authorship pubkey records re-published, and federation peers re-pointed. There is **no in-place rename** in Matrix. Hence `server_name` is install-immutable and the installer gates it behind an explicit warning (§6.7). Changing it is a **migration/reinstall**, honestly (§7).
+
+### 5.4 How the appservice / homeserver read config
+
+- **Synapse (homeserver)** reads a _rendered_ `homeserver.yaml`. The config service **renders** Synapse's config (server_name, listeners, `federation_domain_whitelist`, `enable_registration: false`, appservice registration path, TLS/delegation) from the DB-backed config at deploy/reconfigure time. Synapse itself is not DB-config-aware; the source of truth is the product DB, and Synapse config is a **generated artifact**. Certain Synapse values (notably `server_name`) require a **Synapse restart** and are exactly the immutable ones — reinforcing §5.3.
+- **The appservice** reads config **live** from the DB config service for runtime-tunable values (thresholds, whitelist changes, cert alarm thresholds) and from the `SecretBackend` for secrets. Immutable topology values are read once at boot (they can't change under it).
+- **`packages/comms` SDK** receives the values it needs (homeserver client URL, presence intervals) from the appservice at enroll (RFC-001 §4.1 returns `{mxid, access_token, homeserver, rooms[]}`), so agents never read the config DB directly.
+- **Delegation artifacts** (`.well-known/matrix/server`, `.well-known/matrix/client`) are likewise **rendered** from config and served by the reverse proxy / homeserver.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Installer UX flow
+
+A guided installer (`mosaic comms install` or equivalent) that captures topology, provisions certs, wires secrets, and **validates before declaring success.** It must never report success it hasn't proven. Steps:
+
+**6.1 — Preflight & detection.** Detect existing DNS records for a candidate domain, existing certs, an existing reachable Synapse, an existing Vault/Vaultwarden. Offer detected values as suggestions (never as silent defaults). Detect whether the host has public inbound :80/:443 (informs challenge-type guidance, §3.2).
+
+**6.2 — Primary instance (ALWAYS).** The PRIMARY/home instance is always configured — there is no "skip primary." Prompt for its identity. This is non-optional and is what makes standalone work out of the box.
+
+**6.3 — Pick topology mode (A/B/C).** Ask the shape:
+
+- Do you have a domain? **No →** Mode C (IP-only standalone); warn federation is impossible here (§2.4) and that `server_name` will be an IP (re-home cost if they later want federation).
+- Yes, and identity domain differs from the homeserver host? **Yes →** Mode A (split-domain); capture `server_name` + host + delegation method.
+- Yes, one domain does everything? **→** Mode B (single-domain).
+
+**6.4 — Pick CA (ACME directory).** step-ca vs Let's Encrypt → capture `directory_url`, account email, and challenge type with the §3.2 guidance surfaced (e.g. "private/internal domain? → DNS-01"). Capture EAB if the CA requires it (→ SecretBackend). For step-ca, offer to point at an existing step-ca or document standing one up.
+
+**6.5 — Pick secret backend.** Vault vs Vaultwarden → capture connection (address, org/namespace, bootstrap auth). If Vaultwarden, walk the org/collection setup (§4.4) and **surface the machine-account maturity [VERIFY]** honestly so the operator chooses eyes-open.
+
+**6.6 — Federation (OPTIONAL).** Only offered if Mode A/B. Ask whether to enable federation now; if yes, capture peer `server_name`s and build the `domain_whitelist`. If Mode C, federation is not offered (greyed out with the explanation). Federation-off is a first-class, fully-supported outcome.
+
+**6.7 — The "what can't be changed later" warning gate.** Before writing immutable config, present an explicit confirmation:

+   This becomes part of every agent identity (e.g. @mosaic_coordinator-1:mosaic.woltje.com)
+   and every room alias. It CANNOT be changed later without re-homing every identity

+   secrets.backend = "vaultwarden"  — switching backends later requires a secret migration.
+   Type the server_name to confirm you understand it is permanent:  ____________

+
+The operator must **retype `server_name`** to proceed — a deliberate friction gate on the one truly permanent value.
+
+**6.8 — Provision & validate (no success claim until proven).** The installer then:
+
+1. Renders Synapse config + delegation artifacts; brings up Synapse with `enable_registration: false`.
+2. Runs the ACME flow; obtains cert(s); verifies they're valid and installed.
+3. Authenticates to the SecretBackend; stores `hs_token`/`as_token`, enroll bootstrap; runs `health()`.
+4. **Reachability & cert validation** appropriate to mode:
+   - Mode A: fetch our own `.well-known`/SRV, confirm it points at host; TLS-probe host cert as a peer would; confirm C-S discovery.
+   - Mode B: TLS-probe the single domain; confirm C-S + (if federation) S2S.
+   - Mode C: confirm local C-S reachability over the bind IP; confirm (self-signed or private-CA) client TLS; **explicitly report "standalone — federation not available."**
+   - If federation enabled: validate each peer resolves + presents a peer-trusted cert; confirm `domain_whitelist` mutual consistency. If any peer fails, **federation is reported NOT-ready** — the primary still succeeds standalone.
+5. **Only now** declare success, with a per-capability report: `PRIMARY: ✅  |  CERT: ✅ (expires in 90d, auto-renew on)  |  SECRETS: ✅ (vaultwarden)  |  FEDERATION: ✅ 1 peer  /  ⚠ not-ready / ⛔ n-a (Mode C)`.
+
+**6.9 — Post-install.** Emit the cert-expiry monitor + federation-health probe (§3.4) into OTEL; write config to DB with correct mutability flags; print the immutable-values summary again for the record.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Standalone → federated upgrade path
+
+An operator who started standalone later wants federation. The path depends on **whether they started with a domain**:
+
+**Case 1 — started Mode A or B (had a domain), federation was just off.** _Cheap, no re-home._ `server_name` is already a real domain and identities are already minted against it. To federate:
+
+1. Ensure DNS resolves for peers (their `server_name`s and yours) — likely already true.
+2. Ensure a **valid, peer-trusted cert** on the federation endpoint (if they were running client-only self-signed, they now need a real ACME cert; if already ACME, done).
+3. Set `federation.enabled = true`, populate `domain_whitelist` + `peers` (all runtime-tunable, §5.3).
+4. Re-run the installer's **federation validation** (§6.8 step 4) against each peer. On green, federation is live. **No identity change** — existing MXIDs simply become reachable cross-site. This is the intended, low-friction upgrade.
+
+**Case 2 — started Mode C (IP-only), now wants federation.** _Expensive — an identity re-home, and we say so plainly._ Federation requires DNS + a valid cert (§2.4), which an IP `server_name` can never satisfy. So the operator must:
+
+1. **Acquire a domain** and DNS, and provision a **valid ACME cert** (LE public, or step-ca if the domain is private — but note a _private_ domain can only federate with peers who trust that private CA root, §8).
+2. **Change `server_name` from the IP literal to the domain** — this is the **install-immutable value**, so this is a **re-home, not a config tweak**:
+   - Every agent identity `@mosaic_*:192.168.1.50:8448` becomes `@mosaic_*:newdomain` — **all new MXIDs.**
+   - Every room + alias must be **recreated** under the new `server_name`.
+   - Signed-authorship pubkey records re-published under the new identities.
+   - Any durable references to old MXIDs (escalation policies, fallback-coordinator targets, RFC-001 §5) must be re-pointed.
+3. Effectively: **treat it as a fresh install in Mode A/B with a data migration of rooms/history**, not an in-place flip. Matrix has **no in-place `server_name` rename**; this cost is intrinsic to Matrix, not to our design.
+
+**Honest guidance the installer gives Mode C operators up front (§6.3):** "If there is _any_ chance you'll want to federate later, start with a domain (Mode A/B) even if you keep federation off — flipping federation on later is free, but changing an IP `server_name` to a domain later is a full identity re-home." This lets an informed operator avoid the expensive path by choosing Mode B-with-federation-off instead of Mode C.
+

+
+## 8. Security
+
+**8.1 — Cert trust model per CA choice.**
+
+- **Let's Encrypt (public):** chains to a universally-trusted root (ISRG). Peers, humans' browsers, and Element trust it with no extra distribution. Best for public domains; nothing to distribute.
+- **step-ca (private):** chains to a **root you operate**. Nothing trusts it by default. Therefore the **step-ca root must be distributed** to everyone who validates certs: peer homeservers (so cross-site S2S validates — a peer must add your root to its federation trust store, **[VERIFY]** Synapse's mechanism for trusting a custom federation CA), agent hosts, and any human client. This is the price of "total control" and airgap capability. For **federation between two private-CA sites**, both sites must trust each other's roots (or a shared root). Getting this wrong reproduces the silent-defederation failure (§3.4) — a peer that doesn't trust your root silently refuses your S2S.
+- **Mode C self-signed client TLS:** weakest — see 8.4.
+
+**8.2 — Federation whitelist.** `federation_domain_whitelist` is a **hard allowlist** (RFC-001 §6/NG5): only listed Mosaic site domains may federate; no public-network federation. The installer/config validator keeps the whitelist consistent with the declared peer list. Adding a peer is an explicit, audited config change.
+
+**8.3 — Secret-backend auth.** The appservice/orchestrator authenticate to the `SecretBackend` via a **bootstrap credential injected at deploy** (Vault AppRole secret_id, or Vaultwarden org automation principal), never committed, consistent with existing Gateway/DB secret handling (RFC-001 §8). The `as_token`/`hs_token` live **only** in backend + appservice memory; agents get only their own scoped, re-mintable token (§4.2). Enroll is authenticated (RFC-001 B5) so a rogue local process can't enroll a rogue agent. Backend access is scoped: an agent's credential can read only its collection/policy, never the fleet-admin scope holding the crown jewels.
+
+**8.4 — Honest note: IP-only standalone with self-signed client TLS is a weaker-trust local mode.** In Mode C, client TLS may be self-signed (or a local private CA). This means: no third party vouches for the endpoint; clients must be told to trust the self-signed cert (TOFU or manual root import); there is no external validation of who's on the other end. This is **acceptable and supported for local/airgapped/homelab** use where the network is already trusted, but it is **explicitly a weaker trust posture** than a real CA. The installer states this plainly at install (§6.8 Mode C). It is one more reason Mode C cannot federate: we will not extend this weaker-trust local posture across sites (NG5).
+
+**8.5 — Homeserver hardening** (inherited from RFC-001 §8, config-rendered here): `enable_registration: false` always (agents come only via the appservice), rate-limiting on, admin API bound to localhost/behind auth, media repo locked/disabled if unused, TLS terminated at our controlled proxy. These are **rendered from config** (§5.4) so a stranger gets them by default, not by remembering to set them. **[VERIFY]** current recommended Synapse hardening flags at implementation.
+

+
+## 9. How RFC-002 integrates with RFC-001's P1–P5
+
+RFC-002 is the **substrate**. Each RFC-001 phase consumes a subset of it. Critically, **P1 does not need the hard parts** — presence ships on a single clean-domain instance with no federation, no IP-only, and no secret-rotation story resolved.

+
+**One-line integration statement:** P1 rides on the _smallest_ slice of RFC-002 (single clean-domain instance + one cert + minimal config + minimal secret storage); the federation/IP-only/backend-maturity complexity is deferred to exactly the phases that need it (mostly P4/P5). RFC-002 therefore does not gate P1.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Open questions
+
+Deliberately few — most topology/cert/secret decisions are resolved by Jason's rulings and baked in above.
+
+1. **[VERIFY] IP-only `server_name` acceptance.** Does the deployed Synapse version accept an `ip:port` `server_name` and mint usable MXIDs for standalone (§2.3)? If not, Mode C uses a fabricated local domain (`mosaic.local` via local resolver) — confirm which, since it affects the re-home wording for Mode C→A/B (§7).
+2. **[VERIFY] Vaultwarden machine-account maturity.** Confirm the current Vaultwarden version's Secrets Manager / machine-account coverage (§4.4). Determines whether the Vaultwarden adapter's `enrollAgent` uses native machine accounts or the personal-vault-per-agent + collection model. Does **not** block (interface absorbs either), but sets P2 expectations.
+3. **[VERIFY] step-ca root distribution for cross-site federation.** Confirm Synapse's supported mechanism for trusting a **custom federation CA root** (§8.1) so two private-CA sites can federate. If Synapse won't easily trust a private federation CA, private-domain federation may in practice require public certs (LE) on the federation SANs even when internal traffic uses step-ca.
+4. **Default secret backend for the published installer.** Given the open-source ethos (G6), should the installer _default-suggest_ Vaultwarden (free, self-hostable) while clearly offering Vault, or present them neutrally? Recommendation: suggest Vaultwarden as the zero-cost path with the maturity caveat surfaced, Vault as the "I need native short-TTL machine creds now" path. Jason to confirm the framing.
+5. **Single multi-SAN cert vs two certs in Mode A** (§3.3) — operational preference for identity-domain + host coverage. Minor; validate during P4.
+6. **Reconfigure-time Synapse restart policy.** Which rendered-config changes (§5.4) require a Synapse restart vs hot-reload on the deployed version, so the config service knows when a tunable change needs a bounce. **[VERIFY]** at implementation.
+
+---
+
+## Appendix A — Real mechanics this RFC leans on (quick reference)
+
+- **`server_name`** — Synapse identity domain; the `:suffix` of every MXID/alias; install-immutable; changing it = re-home (no in-place rename). Distinct from where Synapse _listens_.
+- **Delegation** — `https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/server` → `{"m.server":"host:port"}` and/or `_matrix._tcp.<server_name>` **SRV**; how identity-domain ≠ host is reconciled (Mode A). **[VERIFY]** precedence on deployed Synapse.
+- **`.well-known/matrix/client`** — C-S discovery so agents/Element find the homeserver host from the identity domain.
+- **`federation_domain_whitelist`** — Synapse allowlist; only listed domains federate; our hard no-public-federation boundary.
+- **ACME** — single provisioning protocol for both CAs; operator supplies **directory URL** (step-ca vs Let's Encrypt) + **challenge type**.
+- **HTTP-01 / DNS-01 / TLS-ALPN-01** — challenge types; **DNS-01 is the one for private/split-horizon/wildcard**; HTTP-01 for public single host with :80; TLS-ALPN-01 for :443-only public.
+- **step-ca ACME provisioner** — Smallstep's self-hosted CA exposing an ACME directory; enables private/internal-domain certs and total control; may require **EAB**; root must be distributed to validators.
+- **Let's Encrypt** — public ACME CA; universally-trusted chain; 90-day certs; staging endpoint for testing.
+- **Bitwarden/Vaultwarden org + collection + machine/service-account** — org holds collections; collections scope access; machine/service accounts (Bitwarden **Secrets Manager**) are the clean automation primitive but **Vaultwarden coverage is partial/evolving [VERIFY]**; personal-vault-per-agent + org-collection works today.
+- **Vault KV v2 / AppRole / lease-TTL / revoke** — the capable backend; native versioning=rotate, TTL+revoke=transient per-agent creds.
+- **Silent defederation** — a lapsed/renewal-failed federation cert causes peers to stop trusting S2S with no local error; must be monitored + alarmed (§3.4).
+
+_All Matrix/ACME/secret-backend mechanics above are cited from architecture knowledge and MUST be re-verified against the actually deployed versions during implementation — every **[VERIFY]** is a checkpoint, not an assumption. Every illustrative domain (`mosaic.woltje.com`, `mosaic.uscllc.com`, `matrix.woltje.com`) is an operator-supplied example, never a product default or literal._

+## What this is
+
+A single Synapse homeserver rendered from committed **templates** (no hardcoded
+topology — RFC-002 G2). Every topology fact is an environment variable with a
+dev default:
+
+| Var                  | Default            | Meaning                                             |

+| `MATRIX_SERVER_NAME` | `matrix.localhost` | Synapse `server_name` (the `:suffix` of every MXID) |
+| `MOSAIC_AS_ID`       | `mosaic-as`        | appservice id / registration filename               |
+| `MATRIX_HTTP_PORT`   | `18008`            | host port → Synapse 8008 (plain HTTP)               |

+
+Secrets (`as_token`, `hs_token`, Synapse macaroon/form/registration secrets)
+are **throwaway values generated at bring-up** into `.data/dev-secrets.env`
+(gitignored). In production these are crown-jewel secrets held by the
+SecretBackend (RFC-001 §8 / RFC-002 §4) — never committed.
+
+## Files
+
+- `docker-compose.dev.yml` — Synapse (+ optional Element under `--profile element`).
+- `synapse/homeserver.dev.yaml.tpl` — rendered Synapse config (Mode B, `enable_registration: false`, appservice wired, native TLS).
+- `synapse/log.config` — Synapse logging.
+- `appservice/mosaic-as.dev.yaml.tpl` — minimal AS registration (declares the `@agent-*` user namespace).
+- `dev-up.sh` / `dev-down.sh` — bring up / tear down (`--purge` wipes `.data`).
+- `.data/` — **gitignored** runtime state (rendered config, sqlite db, signing key, self-signed certs, dev secrets).
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+./dev-up.sh                       # render config, gen signing key + TLS cert, boot Synapse
+# ... run the validation harness (tools/matrix-presence-harness/run.sh) ...
+./dev-down.sh            # stop, keep .data
+./dev-down.sh --purge   # stop and wipe .data for a pristine next boot

+# optional human view (A4) — Element pointed at the dev server:
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml --profile element up -d element
+#   -> http://127.0.0.1:18080
+```
+
+## Acceptance evidence (A1)
+
+- TLS (self-signed) reachable: `curl -sk https://127.0.0.1:18448/_matrix/client/versions` → `200`.
+- Open registration OFF: `POST /_matrix/client/v3/register` → `M_FORBIDDEN "Registration has been disabled"`.
+- AS-token registration bypasses the flag by design (that is how agents are provisioned).

+# @mosaicstack/comms
+
+MACP presence SDK — the **P1 (presence)** slice of RFC-001 (§4.5 liveness,
+§4.2 event envelope). Minimal by design: set Matrix presence, run the
+`mosaic.presence` heartbeat, and compute **deterministic** fleet liveness.
+
+Out of P1 scope (later phases): enrollment/auto-detect, room taxonomy,
+per-agent token minting, signed-authorship, federation.
+
+## API
+
+- `classifyLiveness(ageMs, policy)` / `computeFleetLiveness(observations, now, policy)`
+  — pure, deterministic online/away/offline from heartbeat age. The
+  authoritative liveness source (RFC-001 §4.5): native Matrix presence is _not_
+  relied upon.
+- `HeartbeatEmitter` / `startHeartbeatLoop(...)` — build and drive the
+  `mosaic.presence` heartbeat (monotonic `seq`, `interval_ms`).
+- `MinimalMatrixClient` — tiny C-S client: `setPresence`, `sendHeartbeat`,
+  `readHeartbeats`, `joinRoom`. Supports Application-Service masquerade
+  (`actAsUserId`) for the P1 provisioner, or a per-agent `accessToken`.
+- `PresenceAgent` — high-level: join the fleet room, go present, heartbeat.
+  `pauseHeartbeat()` models a crash (no graceful signal).
+- `FleetLivenessReader` — reads the fleet room and computes the liveness board
+  (`read()` / `formatBoard()`), the surface a human or watchdog reads.
+
+## Liveness policy (RFC-001 §4.5)
+
+```
+online : age <= heartbeatIntervalMs * missTolerance
+away   : age <  darkThresholdMs
+offline: otherwise (or never-seen / non-finite age -> fail safe to offline)
+```
+
+Defaults: interval 30s, miss-tolerance 2, dark-threshold 10min
+(`DEFAULT_LIVENESS_POLICY`). All runtime-tunable per RFC-002 §5.3.
+
+## Tests
+
+`pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/comms test` — the liveness core is written
+RED-FIRST; an end-to-end proof against a real Synapse lives in
+`tools/matrix-presence-harness`.

+# Wake Doctrine
+
+This is the canonical fleet wake/heartbeat doctrine, extracted verbatim from the ratified
+converged wake/heartbeat design (`docs/scratchpads/heartbeat-planning/CONVERGED-DESIGN.md`). It
+governs when agents wake and how a wake is delivered, consumed, and retired.
+
+**Wake only on a real, un-consumed, lane-relevant obligation.** Fixed-interval heartbeats are
+forbidden as the primary wake mechanism; they survive only as a **per-class fallback cadence**
+bounded by urgency SLO, never as the steady state.
+
+**A digest is cumulative state since the last CONSUMED ack**, not an event delta. It is
+self-orienting (who / lane / board-head) and decides the no-op case with **zero tool calls**.
+Actionable facts are **claims-to-verify** carrying a **hard locator** (repo/issue#/SHA/file);
+self-sufficiency never exempts a consequential action from its live gate.
+
+**Consumption is a consumer act, not a delivery act.** Split RECEIVED (delivery; `wake_id`-deduped)
+from CONSUMED (durable capture of a contiguous prefix). Never ack-then-crash-before-capture. Acks
+are local-write-only and cumulative; a turn never blocks on the network to ack.
+
+**Durability is unconditional; coalescing is optional.** Every delivered class is durably stored
+and acked; only machine `digest` wakes coalesce. A parked or absent pane must never lose a human
+or peer message.
+
+**Park is two-phase:** flush-and-checkpoint (recording the CONSUMED cursor) _before_ `/clear`.
+
+**Liveness is independent of work-triggering:** an off-host dead-man beacon, alarming on absence —
+never a same-host sibling, never a pane scrape.
+
+**Retire the old net LAST:** run new alongside old, compare ledgers, and cut over only when the
+per-host safety vector (no-op-rate ↓ AND canary-FN=0 AND source-parity-inventory-complete AND
+reconcile=0 AND p95 event→CONSUMED≤SLO AND p95 event→qualified-action≤SLO) passes.

+#
+# Root cause under test: mosaic-link-runtime-assets copies
+# runtime/claude/settings.json (which embeds the PreToolUse mutator-gate.py
+# hook and the Stop receipt-observer-client.py hook) straight into
+# ~/.claude/settings.json, unconditionally. If the lease-broker activation

+#
+# This harness never invokes a real `mosaic` CLI build — it stubs the
+# `__link-claude-settings` contract with a fake `mosaic` on PATH so the shell
+# WIRING (does mosaic-link-runtime-assets call out correctly? does it
+# propagate a degraded outcome? does it still copy every other runtime file?
+# does --allow-inactive-enforcement forward through?) is exercised
+# independently of the TS guard's own logic (already covered by
+# install-ordering-guard.spec.ts). It also exercises the no-mosaic-on-PATH
+# python3 fallback directly.
+#
+# Scenarios:
+#   1. probe=true (fake mosaic exits 0)  -> settings.json copied, script exits 0.
+#   2. probe=false (fake mosaic exits 1) -> script exits 1 (guard_degraded

+#   3. probe=false + --allow-inactive-enforcement -> the flag is forwarded to

 ## Durable review provenance
 
-A successful provider write command—or a wrapper message based only on that command's exit code—is **not** durable review provenance. Review comments count as durable provenance only after the wrapper reads the created provider record back and verifies that it belongs to the intended repository and pull request and contains the exact submitted body (or verifies the provider-returned record ID).
+A successful provider write command—or a wrapper message based only on that command's exit code—is **not** durable review provenance. Review comments, approvals, and change requests count as durable provenance only after the wrapper reads the created provider record back and verifies that it was created by _this_ write.
 
-`pr-review.sh` therefore fails closed when a Gitea comment cannot be written, its created comment ID cannot be identified, or provider read-back does not match. It reports comment success only after that read-back verification passes.
+**The write is a direct Gitea REST `POST` that returns the created record's id.** Neither wrapper writes through `tea` — tea 0.11.1 can silently no-op while exiting 0 and cannot emit the id of a record it creates, so its exit code is worthless as proof of a durable write (#865). Instead:
+
+- Comments (`issue-comment.sh`, and the `comment` action of `pr-review.sh`) `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{index}/comments`, requiring a `201` and parsing the created comment's `id` from the response body.
+- Reviews (`approve` / `request-changes`) `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{index}/reviews` with the `event` (`APPROVED` / `REQUEST_CHANGES`), the review `body`, and `commit_id` pinned to the PR's current head, then parse the created review's `id`. The review body travels _in the review submit itself_ — there is no separate detached comment to reconcile (a Gitea `REQUEST_CHANGES` review requires a non-empty body, which the submit carries).
+
+**Verification keys on that exact provider-returned id.** The wrapper then `GET`s that one record directly — `GET /issues/comments/{id}` or `GET /pulls/{n}/reviews/{id}` — and requires that its `id` equals the created id, its **author login equals the acting identity** (resolved via `GET /api/v1/user` for the token in use), and, for comments, its body exactly matches what was submitted **and its returned web URL belongs to this exact provider and repository** (the `issue_url` / `pull_request_url` origin — scheme, host, and effective port — and full path, i.e. deployment prefix + exact `owner/repo` + kind + number, must match; a suffix/`endsWith` test would accept a look-alike host or a decoy path prefix, so the whole normalized URL is compared). The `comment` action of `pr-review.sh` additionally requires the returned resource be a **pull request** (a populated `pull_request_url`); a bare `issue_url` is rejected, so if issue `#N` exists but PR `#N` does not, an issue comment cannot be reported as a verified PR comment. (`issue-comment.sh` legitimately keeps the broader issue-or-PR acceptance.) For reviews, its state matches the requested action, its reviewed `commit_id` equals the PR head, **and its persisted body equals the submitted body** — an exact, presence- and type-checked equality (a missing/`null` persisted body no longer counts as an empty match), because Gitea can finalize/reuse a pending review id whose stored content was authored elsewhere, so the body is bound too. The write, the `/user` identity lookup, and the read-back all use the **same** credential — the effective login's token, or the host credential when no login is named — so the write is verified against the identity that actually performed it.
+
+**A review's pinned head is re-checked after verification (current-head TOCTOU).** The `commit_id` is pinned to the PR head read _before_ the submit; between that read and the read-back the branch could advance (a force-push or a new commit), leaving a verified review attached to a now-superseded commit while the live tip carries unreviewed code. After the exact-id read-back succeeds, the wrapper re-reads the live PR head (`GET …/pulls/{n}`) and requires it still equals the submitted SHA; if the head advanced it fails closed (non-zero, no success line) rather than reporting a review that no longer covers the PR's current commit.
+
+**This closes the concurrency window rather than documenting it.** Because verification keys on the id the create returned, a no-op create yields no id and fails closed with no list-scan fallback, and a _concurrent_ record — even one written by the _same_ identity with an identical body/state — has a _different_ id and cannot be mistaken for this write. There is no residual same-identity window: the earlier boundary-and-author heuristic (accept any `id > pre-write-max` with a matching author) is replaced entirely by exact-id attribution.
+
+**Exact-id read-back is the sole authority.** Verification is a direct `GET` of the one record the create returned; there is no follow-up list enumeration. An earlier redundant pass that re-listed the record's page (`?limit=&page=1,2,…`) was removed: server-capped page sizes and list-pagination quirks made it a false-failure source (a durable, exact-id-verified record could be missed by a non-exhaustive enumeration), and it added nothing over the authoritative exact-id `GET`.
+
+## Credential handling
+
+The Gitea API token is **never passed on a curl command line.** An `Authorization: token <value>` argument would be visible to any local process that can read the process table (`ps` / `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`) for the lifetime of the request. Instead, every authenticated curl call writes the header into a private, mode-`0600` config file under `$TMPDIR` and passes it with `curl --config <file>` (`gitea_write_auth_config`), so only the file _path_ — never the token — appears in argv. Each such file is unlinked on every exit path (success and failure) by the caller's `RETURN` trap.
+
+## `tea` invocation notes (Gitea)
+
+- tea v0.11.1 has **no `comment` subcommand under `tea pr` or `tea issue`** — the `tea pr comment` / `tea issue comment` forms don't error, they silently fall through to a no-op and still exit 0, producing a false-success write (#865). tea's write subcommands (`tea comment`, `tea pr approve`/`reject`) also cannot report the id of the record they create, so their exit code cannot prove a durable write. These wrappers therefore do **not** write reviews or comments through `tea` at all; they use direct Gitea REST `POST`s that return the created record's id (see "Durable review provenance" above). `tea` is consulted only to enumerate the login list for host→login resolution.
+- Because the review body is carried in the `POST …/reviews` submit itself, there is no separate detached review comment, and the historical `tea pr approve`/`reject` trailing-positional-argument vs. nonexistent `--comment`/`-comment` flag hazard (#835) no longer applies to these wrappers — no review comment is ever passed to `tea`.
+
+### `--login` override
+
+Both `pr-review.sh` and `issue-comment.sh` accept an optional `--login <name>` flag that overrides the automatically detected Gitea login for that single invocation. The override selects **which credential the REST write, the `/user` identity lookup, and the read-back all use** — its token is resolved from the tea config for that login name (`get_gitea_token_for_login`), falling back to the repo host's credential when no login is named. The resolved login is **host- and port-bound**: the login's configured URL host **and effective port** (the scheme's default port — 80 for `http`, 443 for `https` — applies when a port is omitted, symmetrically on both sides) must match the repo remote's, so a login name shared across hosts (or an override configured for a different Gitea, including one on a different port of the same host) can never send one host's credential to another — a host or port mismatch fails closed rather than leaking a cross-host token. Resolving the acting identity and the read-back from the _same_ login that performs the write is essential: a write performed under an overridden login must be verified against that login's identity, not the host default's. Callers who need a different login than the host default should pass `--login <reviewer-login>`.
+
+As a durable successor to this mechanism, consider giving each reviewer/approver slot its own dedicated Gitea login credential, so that author≠reviewer holds at the credential level rather than relying on wrapper-level `--login` bookkeeping. This is a recommendation for future hardening, not something implemented by this flag.
+
+## Per-agent Gitea identity (Gate-16 author≠reviewer)
+
+By default, git push/fetch (via `git-credential-mosaic`) and the API wrappers above (via
+`detect-platform.sh`'s `get_gitea_token`) all authenticate as the single shared Gitea
+account/token configured through `tools/_lib/credentials.sh`. That means every agent in a
+fleet commits, pushes, and opens PRs under one identity — with no cryptographic
+separation between an author and a reviewer.
+
+Both `git-credential-mosaic` and `get_gitea_token()` resolve an optional **per-agent
+identity** before falling back to the shared account:
+
+1. `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY` environment variable, or
+2. `git config --get mosaic.gitIdentity` (set per-worktree; persists on disk across
+   non-persistent shells — `git config mosaic.gitIdentity <agent-id>`), or
+3. (git-credential-mosaic only) the username git itself supplies for the credential
+   request.
+
+If the resolved identity has a token file at
+`~/.config/mosaic/secrets/gitea-tokens/gitea-{usc,mosaicstack}-<agent-id>.token`, that
+identity + token is used. **Nothing configured → nothing changes**: with no per-slot
+token file present, both tools fall through to the existing shared-account path
+unchanged, so this feature is a no-op on any host that hasn't provisioned per-slot
+tokens.
+
+### Enabling it for a clone
+
+The framework installer syncs `git-credential-mosaic` to
+`~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/git-credential-mosaic` (executable) on every install/update,
+but does **not** register it as git's credential helper automatically. Registration is a
+one-time, explicit step:
+
+```bash
+# Per-repo (recommended — scopes the helper to this clone only):
+git config credential.helper "$HOME/.config/mosaic/tools/git/git-credential-mosaic"
+
+# Per-worktree identity pin (Gate-16 separation):
+git config mosaic.gitIdentity <agent-id>
+```
+
+This is deliberately **not** auto-registered on install/update: `credential.helper` is
+global, order-sensitive git config (`~/.gitconfig`) that can already hold an
+operator-chosen credential manager (keychain, `store`, `manager-core`, …) for
+repositories unrelated to Mosaic. Silently inserting an entry on every framework
+install/upgrade risks reordering or shadowing that operator-owned surface across the
+whole host — the same operator-owned config the installer's manifest system is
+otherwise careful never to touch. Because identity is already resolved per-worktree
+(`mosaic.gitIdentity`), the correct granularity for registering the helper is per-clone
+too, so a documented manual step is the right shape here, not a global auto-write.
+
+### PowerShell parity
+
+`detect-platform.ps1`'s Gitea wrappers authenticate through `tea` CLI logins
+(`Get-GiteaLoginForHost`), not a raw-token `get_gitea_token`-equivalent function — there
+is nothing to prepend the identity-resolution block to on the PowerShell side. A native
+PowerShell git-credential helper is also unnecessary: `git-credential-mosaic` is invoked
+by git's credential-helper protocol (stdin/stdout), which works identically under Git for
+Windows' bundled `bash`/`sh` when configured via `credential.helper`, without a `.ps1`
+counterpart. A `tea`-login-based per-agent identity for the PowerShell wrappers is a
+separate, larger design (mapping identities to `tea login` profiles) and is out of scope
+here.

+#     with '!' or '&'. Round 11 taught it to strip a transparent NON-SPECIFIC tag
+#     ('! ' bang + SPACE) and a transparent plain ANCHOR ('&name ') so '! x' /
+#     '&a x' resolve the STRING 'x', matching PyYAML. Round 12 discovered that the

+#     duplicate anchor") the instant the SAME name is declared on a SECOND node
+#     ANYWHERE in the document (even an unrelated one) -- the fallback's
+#     per-scalar-only view has no such registry and would emit the later token.
+#     Round 12's fix: reject EVERY '&'-anchor property, unconditionally. The
+#     transparent NON-SPECIFIC TAG behavior ('! x' -> 'x') is unchanged and still

+# (#865).
+#
+# The #865 defect class: tea 0.11.1's `tea issue comment ...` (a nonexistent
+# subcommand) silently no-ops yet exits 0, and tea cannot emit the id of a
+# record it created — so an exit code is worthless as proof of a durable write.
+# The wrapper therefore does NOT write via tea at all. It POSTs the comment to
+# the Gitea REST API (which returns the created comment object, including its
+# id), then GETs THAT EXACT id back and requires it to match on id, author
+# (acting identity), body, and issue. Because verification is keyed to the id
+# the create returned, no concurrent comment can masquerade as this write, and a
+# suppressed/no-op create yields no id and fails closed.
+#
+# This harness models a REAL server: the curl stub keeps persistent comment
+# state on disk, the POST actually CREATES and PERSISTS a record and returns its
+# id, and the read-back GET reads that same state. There is no independently
+# fabricated record for the wrapper to "find" — the only way verification
+# passes is if the POST genuinely created the record the read-back retrieves.
+# It proves the wrapper:
+#   1. never shells out to tea to write (no `tea comment` / `tea issue comment`);
+#   2. creates the comment via REST POST and learns the provider-returned id;
+#   3. verifies THAT EXACT id by direct GET, attributed to the acting identity;
+#   4. fails closed when the write is a no-op even though a concurrent
+#      SAME-IDENTITY comment with the same body already exists (the closed
+#      concurrency window — no fallback list scan can rescue a no-op);
+#   5. fails closed when the created record is not authored by the acting
+#      identity;
+#   6. treats the exact-id GET as the SOLE authority — it performs NO follow-up
+#      list enumeration (the stub exposes no comment-list endpoint, so any
+#      residual enumeration attempt would fail the run);
+#   7. with a RESOLVABLE --login override, performs the write, the /user identity
+#      lookup, and the read-back ALL under THAT login's token/identity — never
+#      the host default;
+#   8. with an UNRESOLVABLE --login override, FAILS CLOSED (nonzero, no write, no
+#      success line) instead of silently downgrading to the host default
+#      identity — the token seam maps each bearer token to the identity it
+#      authenticates as, so a misattributed write is caught;

+"""Enforcement-side version-coupling gate (issue #869, Point-1 card C4).
+
+Root cause this exists to guard against (#828 version skew, restated from
+the C1 activation probe in ``lease-activation-probe.ts``): the lease
+broker's ENFORCEMENT half (this toolkit — ``launch-runtime.py``,
+``mutator-gate.py``, ``revoke-lease.py``) and its ACTIVATION half
+(``execLeaseGatedRuntime()`` in ``launch.ts``, which chains the gated
+runtime through ``launch-runtime.py`` and injects ``MOSAIC_LEASE_*``) ship
+on different channels — an npm package and a framework/CLI reseed. C1 gave
+the activation half a versioned, machine-checkable identity
+(``LEASE_ACTIVATION_CAPABILITY``, printed by the CLI's hidden
+``mosaic __lease-capability`` subcommand). That identity is inert on its
+own: nothing yet asserted that ENFORCEMENT actually requires the version
+ACTIVATION advertises. This module is that assertion, owned by the
+enforcement side.
+
+``EXPECTED_ACTIVATION_CAPABILITY`` below is this toolkit's own contract
+declaration — bump it only when this toolkit's launch/gate seam starts
+requiring a different activation contract (new env vars it depends on,
+changed chaining behavior, etc.), independent of any package semver, for
+the same reason C1's constant is: #828 happened precisely because a
+version number that should have moved did not.
+
+This module never talks to a real broker or a real installed CLI in its
+own tests — both the probe's command resolution and its ``run`` transport
+are injectable so tests can drive every branch with fakes/stubs (see
+``version_coupling_unittest.py``).

+#
+# CONTRACT ANCHORS (docs/scratchpads/heartbeat-planning/CONVERGED-DESIGN.md):
+#   §1.3  Independent liveness leg — off-host dead-man beacon. Liveness is SPLIT
+#         from work-triggering: the detector emits a MONOTONIC beacon each cycle
+#         to existing OFF-HOST monitoring, and the alarm fires on beacon
+#         ABSENCE — depending on NOTHING the dying component must actively do.
+#         A same-host sibling is CONCEDED NOT independent (shares user-manager,
+#         host, sender, socket, session — sol A1/A8/G9) and is REJECTED here. A
+#         single ISOLATED host degrades to a weaker DIFFERENT-SUPERVISION-ROOT
+#         beacon, FLAGGED as such — never silently pretending full independence.
+#         `capture-pane` is a liveness HINT ONLY; readiness is proven solely by
+#         the RECEIVED/CONSUMED acks (W2/W3), never by a pane scrape.
+#   §4 G1 Off-host dead-man response: the beacon-absence alarm is proven to FIRE
+#         AND ROUTE to a human/other-host within its SLO.
+#   §4 G2a Fail-loud semantics: an unconfigured OR unreachable target FAILS LOUD
+#         (no silent no-alarm host).
+#   §7-res6 The only real bound on a stuck drainer is an INDEPENDENT
+#         missing-RECEIVED/CONSUMED escalation through the off-host observer and
+#         its SLO — the same independent leg this tool provides.
+#
+# FRAMEWORK / OPERATOR BOUNDARY (§1.4, the operator-agnostic framework/operator split):
+#   FRAMEWORK (this file) ships:
+#     - the monotonic beacon EMITTER (`emit`),
+#     - the off-host monitor's RECEIVER + ABSENCE alarm (`record`, `check`),
+#     - a pluggable ALARM-SINK / BEACON-SINK ADAPTER INTERFACE.
+#   OPERATOR owns:
+#     - the TARGET ENDPOINT (off-host monitor address, alarm route). It is a
+#       command the operator wires; that command resolves its address/credential
+#       BY NAME via `load_credentials`, NEVER inlined into this framework file.
+#   W7 (installer, OUT OF SCOPE here) WIRES + install-validates the target. W6
+#   provides the emitter + adapter interface + absence-alarm + the FAIL-LOUD
+#   PRIMITIVE that W7's validation calls.
+#
+# ADAPTER INTERFACE (the pluggable seam — operator supplies the command):
+#   WAKE_BEACON_SINK_CMD   emit ships the beacon record (JSON on stdin) via
+#                          `sh -c "$WAKE_BEACON_SINK_CMD"`. The command is the
+#                          transport to the OFF-HOST monitor; it resolves its
+#                          endpoint by-name (load_credentials) internally. A
+#                          non-zero exit = UNREACHABLE target => FAIL LOUD. Unset
+#                          = UNCONFIGURED target => FAIL LOUD (no silent no-alarm
+#                          host).
+#   WAKE_ALARM_SINK_CMD    check routes the absence ALARM (JSON on stdin) via
+#                          `sh -c "$WAKE_ALARM_SINK_CMD"` to a human/other-host
+#                          (G1). Same fail-closed contract: unset OR non-zero
+#                          exit => FAIL LOUD.

+# detector.sh — A1 of the wake canon (EPIC #892, W4): the per-host,
+# single-instance, delta-gated DETECTOR daemon.
+#
+# CONTRACT ANCHORS (docs/scratchpads/heartbeat-planning/CONVERGED-DESIGN.md):
+#   §1.1  Placement — ONE detector instance PER HOST, serving that host's LOCAL
+#         panes only (no cross-host waking). A long-lived SERVICE, NOT a timer:
+#         retiring unconditional timers is the whole point. Generalizes the
+#         proven delta-gated poller (gitea-pr-watch: poll -> hash -> deliver only
+#         on delta; 0-wasted) and adds (a) repo-section/anchor-scoped hashing so
+#         human-decision FILE edits are caught, not just API-visible state.
+#   §1.2  observe -> enqueue into the W2 durable store (the store ALLOCATES the
+#         observed_seq — single store-side allocator, #908).
+#   §2.4  Cursor semantics: `observed_seq` is a monotonic int, AUTHORITATIVE, now
+#         allocated SOLELY by store.sh enqueue (#908 unified the two former
+#         allocators). The detector no longer keeps a private counter: it enqueues
+#         and captures the store-assigned seq. Source SHAs are DESCRIPTORS, not the
+#         cursor. A per-watch LAST-OBSERVED HASH is compared each poll so a revert
+#         (A->B->A across polls) is caught as a delta.
+#   §4/G2a FAIL-LOUD source semantics: a source/target failure OR a 401 / 403 /
+#         privacy-404 / partial / ambiguous-empty response MUST fail loud, MUST
+#         NOT advance the authoritative cursor (`observed_seq`), and MUST NOT be
+#         silently treated as "no change". An error, or an empty response that
+#         might mean "hidden", is NEVER "no change".
+#   Gate B (#869 discipline): the watch-list `schema_version` is validated
+#         against the component manifest's supported [schema_min, schema_max]
+#         range; an out-of-range watch-list is REJECTED (fail loud), never
+#         silently coerced.
+#
+# SCOPE: this tool OBSERVES sources and ENQUEUES deltas to the W2 store
+# (store.sh, merged). It does NOT reimplement the store, ack, digest, or signer
+# (W2/W3 — it only CALLS their public APIs). FN-oracle/reconciler (W5), off-host
+# beacon (W6) and installer (W7) are explicitly OUT OF SCOPE.
+#
+# SOURCE ADAPTER CONTRACT (operator-agnostic firewall: the detector bakes in NO

+# digest.sh — A3 of the wake canon (EPIC #892, W3): the CUMULATIVE-STATE digest
+# renderer with hard-locator enforcement, two-tier trust, and injection/secret
+# scrubbing.
+#
+# CONTRACT ANCHORS (docs/scratchpads/heartbeat-planning/CONVERGED-DESIGN.md):
+#   §2.1  Digest schema — cumulative-state-since-last-CONSUMED, hard locators,
+#         two-tier trust, bounding/injection/secrets.
+#   §1.2/§2.3  the digest renders from the store's durable pending-inbox (the
+#         full unacked set since consumed_seq), coalesced.
+#
+# CUMULATIVE-STATE (§2.1): a digest is STATE SINCE THE LAST CONSUMED ACK, NOT an
+# event delta. It renders the FULL unacked set (the durable inbox union since
+# consumed_seq). Two changes that are both still pending both appear — a delta
+# would silently drop the older one. Size scales with backlog; minimal when one
+# item is pending.
+#
+# TWO-TIER TRUST (§2.1):
+#   ORIENTATION tier  — self-sufficient, trusted-as-pointer: who / lane /
+#     board-head + the LIST of changed obligations (observed_seq + locators).
+#     Decides the ~80% no-op case with ZERO tool calls.
+#   ACTIONABLE tier   — untrusted, must-revalidate: any fact that would authorize
+#     a consequential action (CI conclusion, mergeability, GO/hold, lease-state)
+#     is rendered ONLY as a CLAIM-TO-VERIFY, point-in-time-at-seq. Self-
+#     sufficiency NEVER exempts a consequential action from its live gate.
+#
+# HARD LOCATORS (§2.1): every actionable claim MUST carry a precise locator
+# (repo + issue#, a 40-char SHA, or file:anchor) so re-verification is ONE
+# targeted call. A missing locator = malformed ACTIONABLE entry = FAIL-LOUD.
+#
+# #920 (per-entry quarantine — fail-loud WITHOUT head-of-line blocking): a
+# render-refused entry (actionable-tier, no hard locator) is QUARANTINED — durably
+# DEAD-LETTERED to $STATE_DIR/dead-letter.jsonl + a LOUD per-entry alarm — and
+# EXCLUDED from this drain, while the REST of the cumulative set still renders
+# (exit 0). The bad entry is accounted-for (never silently dropped); it can no
+# longer wedge the whole drain (the live pilot defect: one malformed entry
+# exit-4'd the entire cumulative-state drain, delivering NOTHING).
+#
+# #920 (amended FIX 2 — reconciler enumerations are ORIENTATION-tier): a
+# reconciler ENUMERATION carries locators.reconciled==true (set ONLY by
+# reconcile.sh). Enumerations are self-orienting STATE-POINTERS, never
+# consequential claims, so they are EXEMPT from the actionable hard-locator gate
+# and render as ORIENTATION pointers via _locator_line's digest-class vocabulary
+# (kind/id/observed_hash/path/…). Their STORE class is left UNCHANGED (non-
+# coalescing) so distinct enumerations never collapse (§2.3/T2/G3-R6 intact).
+#
+# BOUNDING / INJECTION / SECRETS (§2.1): link-not-inline (pointers + bounded
+# summary; raw diffs/logs stay at rest). Source free-text is NEVER instruction-
+# adjacent: it is either omitted ("re-read at locator") or quoted inside a
+# DELIMITED, length-capped, ANSI/bidi/zero-width-STRIPPED block framed as
+# untrusted data. A secret-canary scrub runs over any inlined content. No
+# secrets in digests. The W2 ack copy-run line is embedded verbatim.

+Usage: digest.sh render [options]
+
+Renders the CUMULATIVE-STATE digest (full unacked set since consumed_seq) from
+the durable pending-inbox. Two-tier trust; hard-locator enforcement; scrubbed.
+
+Options:
+  --from-store            Read the pending set via store.sh drain (default).
+  --from-file FILE        Read pending JSONL from FILE instead of the store.
+  --stdin                 Read pending JSONL from stdin instead of the store.
+  --lane LANE             Orientation: the agent's lane (default: $WAKE_LANE).
+  --board-head SHA        Orientation: current board-head SHA (default: none).
+  --agent A               Orientation: who (default: $WAKE_AGENT or "default").
+  --wake-id ID            wake_id to embed in the ack copy-run line.
+  --max-free-text N       cap for a quoted untrusted block (default: 200 chars).
+
+Exit codes:
+  0  digest rendered. Any render-refused ACTIONABLE entry (no §2.1 hard locator)
+     is QUARANTINED — DEAD-LETTERED to $STATE_DIR/dead-letter.jsonl + a loud
+     per-entry alarm — and EXCLUDED; the rest of the cumulative set still renders
+     (#920: fail-loud is per-entry, never a whole-drain wedge). Reconciler
+     enumerations (locators.reconciled==true) render ORIENTATION-tier, gate-exempt.
+  2  usage error.
+  3  jq is required but missing.
+
+Environment:
+  WAKE_STATE_HOME  override base state dir (XDG by default).
+  WAKE_AGENT       per-agent queue namespace / identity.
+  WAKE_LANE        default lane label.

+# fn-oracle.sh — A6 of the wake canon (EPIC #892, W5): the FN-oracle /
+# synthetic-canary.
+#
+# CONTRACT ANCHORS (docs/scratchpads/heartbeat-planning/CONVERGED-DESIGN.md):
+#   §4 vector  { synthetic-canary FN-rate = 0 }  — the oracle injects a KNOWN
+#              synthetic-canary delta into the wake pipeline and ASSERTS it
+#              reaches CONSUMED within its per-class SLO; it measures the
+#              FALSE-NEGATIVE rate. FN-rate MUST be 0 for the timer to retire.
+#   §4/§7-res5 The FN-oracle is a real, NON-OPTIONAL operating cost — the price
+#              of being allowed to retire the fixed timer, not a free extra.
+#   §1.4       Framework component, operator-agnostic (~/.config/mosaic/tools/).
+#
+# OFF-DOMAIN / DETECTOR-INDEPENDENT (the §4/A8 false-negative-blindspot killer):
+#   The injection and the CONSUMED-assertion do NOT depend on the detector's
+#   own hashing / poll internals. The oracle injects a delta at the SOURCE
+#   boundary (the bytes an operator adapter reports), drives the pipeline
+#   through the detector's PUBLIC API only (poll-once — a black box), and then
+#   renders its verdict SOLELY from the terminal store/ack state (did a CONSUMED
+#   ack advance the cursor to cover the canary's observed_seq?). It never reads a
+#   detector hash-file, poll counter, or self-report. CONSEQUENCE: a detector
+#   that silently DROPS changes — including a FULLY-DISABLED detector at a
+#   "perfect" no-op rate (0 wakes/day, which looks great on the wakes metric) —
+#   still FAILS the oracle, because the canary never reaches CONSUMED. That is
+#   the whole point: the success metric is a VECTOR, not a wake-count.
+#
+# ISOLATION: the probe runs in its OWN XDG state namespace (WAKE_ORACLE_HOME),
+# NOT the operator's live queue, so a synthetic canary never delivers a fake
+# wake to a real agent. It exercises the REAL detector.sh / store.sh / ack.sh
+# CODE paths against isolated synthetic data — the standard synthetic-canary
+# shape (synthetic transaction, real code, isolated data).
+#
+# SCOPE: calls the PUBLIC APIs of detector.sh (poll-once), store.sh
+# (cursors/drain), and ack.sh (received/consumed). It does NOT reimplement or
+# modify any of them.
+#
+# Operator-agnostic: all state via XDG/env; no operator paths/names/secrets.

+#              vocabulary detector.sh (A1) actually emits for a digest-class
+#              entry (kind/id/observed_hash/remote/path), so a digest-class

+# reconciler.
+#
+# CONTRACT ANCHORS (docs/scratchpads/heartbeat-planning/CONVERGED-DESIGN.md):
+#   §4/G3  Source parity / reconciliation — the GO condition has TWO ordered
+#          parts:
+#            (i)  a source-coverage PARITY INVENTORY FIRST: a lane-by-lane
+#                 DECLARED inventory of every operational source the lane
+#                 depends on, so an OMITTED source cannot make the §4 vector pass
+#                 VACUOUSLY. An incomplete / undeclared inventory FLAGS (it must
+#                 NOT silently pass).
+#            (ii) then a periodic full RECONCILE: enumerate declared+configured
+#                 source state vs observed_seq/inbox => 0 UNACCOUNTED. Any source
+#                 state not reflected in observed_seq/inbox is a gap => FLAG.
+#   §4 vector  { source-parity inventory complete AND reconcile = 0 unaccounted }
+#   §7-res5    FN-oracle + reconciliation are a real, NON-OPTIONAL operating cost.
+#   W4 review division: the detector's first-seen-baseline does NOT wake; the
+#          RECONCILER is what enumerates PRE-EXISTING / startup source state into
+#          the durable store (at startup and periodically). Without it, state
+#          that already existed when the detector first saw it (baselined
+#          silently) would never enter the inbox and would be lost.
+#
+# SCOPE: calls the PUBLIC APIs of store.sh (cursors/drain/enqueue) only. It does
+# NOT reimplement or modify the store, ack, digest, signer, or detector. It
+# OBSERVES current source state through the SAME operator adapter contract the
+# detector uses (WAKE_DETECTOR_SOURCE_CMD <kind> <id>, def on stdin), with the
+# SAME fail-loud (G2a) discipline: a source error / ambiguous-empty is never
+# silently "no state".
+#
+# CONTRACT NOTES (flagged, not silently guessed — see PR body):
+#   * observed_seq DUAL-ALLOCATOR HAZARD — RESOLVED by #908 (single store-side
+#     allocator). HISTORY: observed_seq once had TWO INDEPENDENT allocators — the
+#     detector's PRIVATE counter (W4) and the STORE cursor (observed_seq+offset)
+#     this reconciler used to enumerate from. Because the detector's next seq was
+#     (private_counter+1), NOT (store_observed_seq+1), the two were decoupled and
+#     even serializing them did NOT prevent collision: the reconciler enumerating
+#     alpha->seq1, beta->seq2 while the detector's private counter was still 0
+#     meant the detector's next delta re-allocated seq1, ALIASING alpha, and a
+#     consumer acking CONSUMED 1 silently dropped a distinct obligation.
+#     #908 DISSOLVES this at the root: store.sh enqueue is now the SOLE allocator
+#     (reads its own observed_seq cursor, next=+1, under an exclusive lock). This
+#     reconciler now enumerates by calling store.sh enqueue WITHOUT --seq — the
+#     SAME single allocator the detector uses — so co-feeding one store is SAFE:
+#     both paths draw distinct, contiguous seqs from the one cursor. The former
+#     fail-closed refusal (and the reconciler-SOLE-FEEDER assertion) are therefore
+#     RETIRED; --allow-enumerate / WAKE_RECONCILE_ALLOW_ENUMERATE remain accepted
+#     as deprecated no-ops for caller compatibility. The G3 accounting invariants
+#     (0-UNACCOUNTED, vacuous-pass prevention) are unaffected and still enforced.
+#   * "accounted" is judged against observed_seq/inbox (§4/G3 wording) PLUS the
+#     reconciler's OWN durable reconciled-state ledger — NOT the detector's
+#     hash-file. Judging by the detector baseline would let a silent first-seen
+#     baseline swallow a pre-existing obligation (the exact hole G3 closes).
+#   * enumeration uses the non-coalescible fail-safe class `actionable` (§2.3)
+#     so two distinct pre-existing obligations can never coalesce into one.
+#
+# Operator-agnostic: all state via XDG/env; no operator paths/names/secrets.

+Commands:
+  inventory
+        Part (i) — source-coverage PARITY INVENTORY. Prints a lane-by-lane
+        declared inventory and FLAGS any incompleteness that could let the §4
+        vector pass VACUOUSLY:
+          * a declared operational source (repos/board_files/lane_anchors) that
+            NO watch covers  (an OMITTED source);
+          * a watch that references a source with no declared definition (dangling);
+          * a lane with zero sources; an empty watch-list;
+          * if a lane declares `required_sources`, any id missing from its sources.
+        Exit 0 IFF the inventory is complete; non-zero (loud) on any flag.
+
+  reconcile [--no-enumerate] [--allow-enumerate]
+        Part (ii) — periodic full reconcile. Enumerates each covered source's
+        CURRENT state and compares it against observed_seq/inbox (+ the
+        reconciler's reconciled-state ledger). Any source state NOT reflected =>
+        UNACCOUNTED => FLAG. Unless --no-enumerate, each unaccounted source is
+        ENUMERATED into the durable store (the startup/pre-existing obligation
+        path). Exit 0 IFF 0 unaccounted were FOUND this pass.
+
+        SINGLE STORE-SIDE ALLOCATOR (#908, resolved): enumeration allocates
+        observed_seq by calling store.sh enqueue WITHOUT --seq — the SAME sole
+        allocator the detector uses (store cursor +1 under an exclusive lock). A
+        detector co-feeding this store is therefore SAFE: both draw distinct,
+        contiguous seqs from the one cursor, so no aliasing is possible. The old
+        fail-closed refusal is retired; --allow-enumerate (and
+        WAKE_RECONCILE_ALLOW_ENUMERATE=1) are accepted as deprecated no-ops.
+        --no-enumerate (and `check`) never write, so they remain side-effect-free.
+
+  check
+        The full §4/G3 gate, side-effect-free: `inventory` AND
+        `reconcile --no-enumerate`. Exit 0 IFF the inventory is complete AND 0
+        unaccounted. Use this to evaluate the vector's G3 clause without writing.

+# sign.sh — A5 of the wake canon (EPIC #892, W3): the NON-CIRCULAR HMAC signer.
+#
+# CONTRACT ANCHORS (docs/scratchpads/heartbeat-planning/CONVERGED-DESIGN.md):
+#   §2.5  Integrity — non-circular HMAC tuple + stated threat boundary.
+#   §1.2  three-cursor entries carry an `hmac` field (W2 left it a placeholder).
+#
+# NON-CIRCULAR CONSTRUCTION (§2.5), verbatim intent:
+#   - `wake_id` is generated INDEPENDENTLY: a fresh unique id at emit. It is NOT
+#     derived from, and does NOT appear inside, the signed field-tuple. It is
+#     prepended to the MAC input to BIND it to its payload — never self-referenced.
+#   - wake_mac = HMAC(key, wake_id || agent_identity || mission_generation ||
+#                     observed_seq || emit_ts || content_hash)
+#     The MAC is computed OVER wake_id PLUS the field-tuple. The value whose
+#     authenticity the MAC establishes (wake_mac itself) is NEVER an input to its
+#     own computation — that is what makes this genuinely non-circular.
+#
+#   Rendered envelope makes the split explicit:
+#     { wake_id,                         # independent id, prepended to MAC input
+#       signed:{ agent_identity, mission_generation, observed_seq, emit_ts,
+#                content_hash },         # the signed field-tuple (no wake_id, no mac)
+#       wake_mac }                       # HMAC over wake_id || signed-tuple
+#
+# KEY HANDLING (§2.5): the key is resolved BY NAME from the operator credential
+# store (the same store `load_credentials` reads), NEVER passed inline, NEVER
+# echoed, NEVER placed in a unit, digest, or ledger. This tool exposes NO flag
+# that accepts key material — only a key NAME.
+#
+# THREAT BOUNDARY, STATED HONESTLY (§2.5, §7.3): this is a SAME-UID signer. A
+# same-uid attacker can read the credential file directly (and can observe the
+# key in `openssl`'s argv while a MAC is computed) — so a same-uid compromise is
+# OUT OF SCOPE for this tool. Closing it requires an OFF-UID signer (a separate
+# privilege-separated process), which is tracked as a §4 G6 gate, NOT silently
+# assumed away here.
+#
+# Operator-agnostic: key location via XDG/credential-store resolution only; no
+# operator paths, names, or secrets appear in this file.

+                                 independently-generated wake_id + the field-tuple.
+  verify                         Read an envelope on stdin; recompute and compare
+                                 its wake_mac. Exit 0 = authentic, 1 = tampered.
+  sign-entry [field opts]        Read a durable store entry (hmac:"") on stdin;
+                                 fill its `hmac` with wake_mac + add `wake_id`.
+  verify-entry                   Read a signed entry on stdin; recompute and
+                                 compare its `hmac`. Exit 0/1.
+  sign-digest [field opts]       Read rendered digest TEXT on stdin; hash it into
+                                 content_hash and emit a signed envelope.
+
+Field options (all optional unless noted):
+  --key-name NAME       credential-store key NAME to sign with (never the key
+                        itself). Default: $WAKE_HMAC_KEY_NAME or "default".

+  --mission-generation G                 (default: $WAKE_MISSION_GENERATION or 0).
+  --observed-seq N      observed_seq (required for `sign`; taken from the entry
+                        for sign-entry/verify-entry).
+  --emit-ts T           epoch seconds (default: now, or the entry's emit_ts).
+  --content-hash H      precomputed sha256 of the wake content.
+  --content STR         content to hash into content_hash (use "-" to read stdin).
+  --wake-id ID          override the independent wake_id (default: fresh random).
+
+Environment:
+  WAKE_HMAC_KEY_NAME       default credential-store key name.
+  WAKE_AGENT               agent identity / per-agent namespace.
+  WAKE_MISSION_GENERATION  mission generation counter.

+# queue (store + drain lib).
+#
+# CONTRACT ANCHORS (docs/scratchpads/heartbeat-planning/CONVERGED-DESIGN.md):
+#   §1.2  three-cursor data-flow: observe -> durable store -> coalesce -> drain.
+#   §2.3  classes & durability: ALL classes durable; coalescing is optional.
+#   §2.4  cursor semantics: observed_seq is authoritative; SHAs are descriptors.
+#
+# Three cursors:
+#   observed_seq  (store-owned SINGLE ALLOCATOR, #908) — monotonic int assigned by
+#                 THIS lib at enqueue: next = observed_seq + 1, under an exclusive
+#                 lock, committed IFF the durable write succeeds. Authoritative.
+#                 There is exactly ONE allocator (this store); the detector and
+#                 reconciler no longer allocate independently. Source SHAs are
+#                 descriptors, NOT the cursor (§2.4).
+#   pending-inbox (durable) — append store; retains until CONSUMED; survives
+#                 pane death / park / restart.
+#   consumed_seq  (consumer-owned) — advances ONLY on a CONSUMED ack, over a
+#                 CONTIGUOUS gapless prefix <=N. NEVER on sender exit-0 / paste.
+#
+# Coalesce (§1.2/§2.3): class=digest REPLACES the pending cumulative-state entry
+# (newest subsumes prior). Non-coalescible classes (actionable, human, ...)
+# APPEND. ALL classes are stored durably — durability is NEVER bypassed.
+# Absent class => treated as `actionable` (fail-safe).
+#
+# HMAC: entries carry an `hmac` field left as an UNSIGNED PLACEHOLDER ("").
+# Signing is W3/A5, explicitly NOT W2.
+#
+# Every state mutation is atomic write-tmp+rename (see _wake-common.sh).

+                                         pending-inbox (coalesce or append) and
+                                         ALLOCATE its observed_seq. store.sh is the
+                                         SOLE allocator of observed_seq (#908):
+                                         under an exclusive enqueue lock it reads
+                                         the observed_seq cursor, sets
+                                         next = observed_seq + 1, writes the
+                                         pending record + observed.set + the cursor
+                                         as ONE transaction, and PRINTS next to
+                                         stdout. The cursor advances IFF the durable
+                                         write succeeds (no burn-before-enqueue).
+      --seq N            LEGACY explicit observed_seq (optional). Normal callers
+                         (detector, reconciler) OMIT this and let the store
+                         allocate. Retained only for tests/tools that must place a
+                         SPECIFIC seq (e.g. construct a gap). An explicit seq that
+                         is <= consumed_seq is REFUSED loudly (anti-swallow): the
+                         idempotent-ignore path can never silently drop a wake.

+                                         the actual paste is out of scope.

+# Each test asserts ONE CONVERGED-DESIGN invariant and is designed to go RED if

+#   D1 CUMULATIVE-STATE: two still-pending changes both render (not just the
+#      latest delta) — a delta would silently drop the older change.      (§2.1)
+#   D2 HARD-LOCATOR enforcement: an actionable claim with no precise locator is
+#      QUARANTINED — dead-lettered + alarmed + excluded — never delivered as
+#      valid (fail-loud PER-ENTRY, #920; the rest of the drain still renders). (§2.1)
+#   D3 TWO-TIER trust: orientation decides the no-op case with ZERO tool calls;
+#      an actionable fact is a CLAIM-TO-VERIFY, never auto-actioned.       (§2.1)
+#   D4 SCRUB: a secret-canary + ANSI/bidi/zero-width in SOURCE free-text is
+#      stripped/neutralized in the rendered digest.                       (§2.1)
+#   H1 NON-CIRCULAR HMAC: wake_id is NOT a member of the signed field-tuple and
+#      is independently generated; wake_mac is not its own input; tampering ANY
+#      signed field (or wake_id) breaks the MAC.                          (§2.5)
+#   H2 KEY BY-NAME, NEVER INLINE: the key is resolved by NAME from the credential
+#      store; no flag accepts key material; the key never leaks into output; the
+#      same-uid threat boundary is documented.                           (§2.5)
+#   D5 (#914a) EMBEDDED ACK NAMESPACE: the copy-run ack line rendered at

+# wake-install.sh — A10 of the wake canon (EPIC #892, W7): the idempotent,
+# fail-closed COMPONENT INSTALLER for the wake component.
+#
+# This is the ENFORCEMENT-PATH installer (#869 publish-gate discipline): every
+# path is fail-closed, idempotent, and never silently falls through. It is driven
+# by `framework/install.sh --component wake`, and every subcommand is also invoked
+# directly by the red-first harness (test-wake-install.sh).
+#
+# CONTRACT ANCHORS (PACKAGING-PLAN §3/§5 + CONVERGED-DESIGN):
+#   (i)   Idempotent component install + Gate A. The wake component ships its own
+#         manifest.txt as VERSION METADATA ONLY. Path-ownership stays the SINGLE
+#         SSOT framework-manifest.txt (consumed by BOTH bash + TS). The component
+#         file set is INTERSECTED-AND-VALIDATED against framework-manifest
+#         ownership: the wake manifest MUST NOT independently authorize any
+#         write/prune outside framework-manifest ownership. Re-running is a no-op.
+#   (iii) Blank-reset idiom on the LEGACY mosaic-heartbeat@<agent>.timer cadence
+#         drop-in during the §5 overlap->retire lifecycle: SNAPSHOT the legacy
+#         unit; write any per-class fallback-cadence drop-in in the blank-reset
+#         form (an empty OnUnitActiveSec= reset line before the new value, so
+#         exactly ONE OnUnitActiveUSec results); on §4-vector pass, REMOVE the
+#         legacy mosaic-heartbeat@ units (retire-LAST). Post-apply verify = exactly
+#         one OnUnitActiveUSec.
+#   (iv)  snapshot-guard: block any reap / clean-checkout of a deployed unit
+#         WITHOUT a snapshot first (the deployed-from-uncommitted failure class
+#         must not recur). Fail-closed: no snapshot => refuse to reap.
+#   (v)   Fail-closed alarm-target + HMAC-key install-validation (G1/G2a): the
+#         operator's W6 alarm-sink target (resolved BY NAME via load_credentials)
+#         must be CONFIGURED + reachable at install; the W3/W7 HMAC key must
+#         resolve BY NAME. Missing/unreachable => FAIL LOUD. This installer ships
+#         NO endpoint value and NO secret, and echoes neither.
+#
+# Operator-agnostic (framework firewall): no operator paths/names/secrets/hosts.
+# All state via XDG/env; the HMAC key + alarm endpoint are resolved BY NAME.

+/**
+ * Install-ordering guard (issue #869, Point-1 card C2).
+ *
+ * Root cause this exists to guard against (#828 version skew, restated): the
+ * framework reseed / install path (`framework/install.sh` →
+ * `mosaic-link-runtime-assets` → copies `runtime/claude/settings.json` to
+ * `~/.claude/settings.json`) wires the ENFORCEMENT half of the lease broker —
+ * the `PreToolUse` `mutator-gate.py` hook and the `Stop`
+ * `receipt-observer-client.py` hook — unconditionally. If the ACTIVATION half
+ * (a CLI build advertising launch-runtime activation + a running broker
+ * supervisor — see `lease-activation-probe.ts`, C1) is absent, the fail-closed
+ * gate then denies every tool call with GATE_UNAVAILABLE: a bricked host.
+ *
+ * This module is the WIRING gate, not the enforcement gate: it decides
+ * whether the enforcement hook entries are written into the settings.json
+ * that ships to `~/.claude/`. It never touches `mutator-gate.py`'s own
+ * fail-closed-on-absent-identity runtime behavior (test-locked in
+ * `runtime_tools_unittest.py` / `fail-closed-regression.spec.ts`).
+ *
+ * Default (no opt-out): NOT activatable → strip the enforcement hook entries
+ * from the written settings.json and report a non-zero outcome with a loud,
+ * actionable message (see FAIL_LOUD_MESSAGE below).
+ *
+ * Opt-out: `--allow-inactive-enforcement` (an explicit, per-invocation CLI
+ * flag — deliberately NOT an environment variable, so it can never sit as a
+ * silently-inherited default in a shell profile). When set on a NOT
+ * activatable host, the hooks ARE wired but a loud warning is emitted saying
+ * so, and the outcome is reported ok (this is a conscious, informed choice).

+ * behavior is intentional and must not change (see the C-REGRESS note in
+ * `runtime_tools_unittest.py`); this module exists so a downstream
+ * install-ordering guard (C2, out of scope here) can refuse to WIRE
+ * enforcement in the first place on a host that cannot ACTIVATE it.
+ *
+ * `leaseEnforcementActivatable()` answers one narrow question: "if
+ * enforcement were wired right now, could activation actually satisfy it?"
+ * It is a real capability probe — not a "does the source file exist" check

+/**
+ * Lease-enforcement doctor check (issue #869, Point-1 card C5).
+ *
+ * Root cause this guards against (#828 version skew, the same one C1/C3
+ * exist for): the Claude Code enforcement hooks (`mutator-gate.py` gating
+ * PreToolUse, `receipt-observer-client.py` observing Stop) can be WIRED into
+ * `~/.claude/settings.json` on a host where the ACTIVATION half is absent —
+ * no compatible CLI build (C1's `leaseEnforcementActivatable()`), or no
+ * healthy broker supervisor (C3's `checkBrokerSupervisorHealth()`). That
+ * combination is a silent brick: every gated tool call denies with
+ * GATE_UNAVAILABLE, and the fail-closed behavior is *correct* — but nothing
+ * surfaces it to an operator running `mosaic doctor` on an already-bricked
+ * host.
+ *
+ * This module answers one question — "if I ran right now, would I be
+ * bricked?" — by combining:
+ *
+ *   1. wiring detection: does `~/.claude/settings.json` reference either
+ *      enforcement-hook marker (`mutator-gate.py` / `receipt-observer-client.py`)?
+ *   2. C1's `leaseEnforcementActivatable()` — could activation satisfy
+ *      enforcement if it were exercised right now?
+ *   3. C3's `checkBrokerSupervisorHealth()` — is the broker supervisor
+ *      actually healthy?
+ *
+ * Not wired ⇒ ok (nothing to activate, no false alarm). Wired AND activatable
+ * AND broker-healthy ⇒ ok. Wired AND (NOT activatable OR broker unhealthy) ⇒
+ * a LOUD, actionable error — this module never silently passes that state.
+ *
+ * Every dependency (settings read, activation probe, broker-health check) is
+ * injectable so tests can drive every branch without ever touching a real
+ * `~/.claude/settings.json` or a real broker.
