feat(gateway): honor MOSAIC_GATEWAY_SKIP_NPM_INSTALL to skip registry reinstall

Lets dev/offline installs keep an already-present global @mosaicstack/gateway
(e.g. a build-from-source `install.sh --dev`) instead of overwriting it with
the registry @latest build during `mosaic wizard` / `mosaic gateway install`.

Note: M3 read-path invariant for M3-11 is **no-persist + existing enrollment audit only** — read-verb audit-log writes are deferred to M4 (see M3-05/06 notes), so M3-11 must not assert read-audit-log entries.

-# Scratchpad — fleet-personas spec timeout
-
-## Objective
-
-Raise the `@mosaicstack/mosaic` Vitest timeout to 30s at config level so filesystem-backed fleet drift-guard specs (`fleet-personas`, `fleet-profiles`, and siblings) stop false-reding under contended CI.
-
-## Plan
-
-1. Move timeout policy into `packages/mosaic/vitest.config.ts` with `testTimeout: 30_000`.
-2. Remove the narrower `fleet-personas.spec.ts` local override so PR #677 fixes the suite class, not one file.
-3. Run targeted fleet specs plus typecheck/lint/format gates.
-4. Commit, queue guard, push, PR update.
-
-## Evidence

-- `pnpm typecheck` — pass (41 tasks; initial narrow fix).

-# FED-M3-07 — Capabilities Verb Scratchpad
-
-## Objective
-
-Implement `GET /api/federation/v1/capabilities` in `apps/gateway/src/federation/server/verbs/capabilities.controller.ts`.
-
-## Scope
-
-- Add read-only capabilities controller under federation server verbs.
-- Use `FederationAuthGuard` only; active grant is sufficient and no native RBAC/scope-service eval runs.
-- Response shape: `{ resources, excluded_resources, max_rows_per_query, supported_verbs }` derived from grant scope.
-- Register controller in `FederationModule`.
-- Unit-test happy path, defaults, no-context guard seam, and invalid scope handling.
-
-## Constraints / assumptions
-
-- Issue: #462.
-- Branch: `feat/federation-m3-verb-capabilities` from `origin/main` (`3eeed04e`).
-- Depends on M3-03 auth guard; guard attaches `request.federationContext.scope` after active-grant validation.
-- ASSUMPTION: `supported_verbs` is the M3 verb set from `@mosaicstack/types` (`list`, `get`, `capabilities`).
-- ASSUMPTION: `filters`/`rate_limit` are intentionally omitted for FED-M3-07 because the card’s response shape lists only the four required fields.
-- Budget: no explicit hard cap from orchestrator; working cap ~4K-8K tokens for card implementation + tests + PR cycle.
-
-## Plan
-
-1. Write controller unit tests first.
-2. Implement controller and module registration.
-3. Run scoped tests + typecheck/lint/format.
-4. Run Codex code/security review and remediate.
-5. Commit, queue guard, push, PR via wrapper.
-
-## Progress
-
-- 2026-06-24: Intake complete; fresh worktree created from origin/main.
-- 2026-06-24: Added `CapabilitiesController`, registered it in `FederationModule`, and added 5 unit tests.
-- 2026-06-24: Code/security reviews passed with no findings.
-

-- `pnpm format:check` — PASS.
-- `pnpm typecheck` — PASS (41/41 turbo tasks).
-- `pnpm lint` — PASS (23/23 turbo tasks).
-- `pnpm test` — FAIL in pre-existing/live-DB integration suite: `apps/gateway/src/__tests__/cross-user-isolation.test.ts` cleanup hit PostgreSQL connection/schema state for the `messages` table. Changed capabilities tests passed; failure is outside FED-M3-07 surface. No `fleet-personas.spec` flake encountered.

-- `~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/codex-security-review.sh --uncommitted` — PASS, risk level none, no findings.
-
-## Risks / blockers
-
-- Full repo `pnpm test` may hit known `fleet-personas.spec` flake per orchestrator; ignore that specific flake if encountered.
-- Previous card saw local DB schema issue in `cross-user-isolation.test.ts`; scoped capabilities tests should be authoritative for this surface.

-# FED-M3-09 — Query Source Service Scratchpad
-
-## Objective
-
-Implement `apps/gateway/src/federation/client/query-source.service.ts` for `source: "local" | "federated:<host>" | "all"` routing.
-
-## Scope
-
-- Add QuerySourceService in gateway federation client layer.
-- Unit-test local-only, single federated peer, all-source fan-out/merge, and per-peer partial failures.
-- Keep `docs/federation/TASKS.md` read-only per project agent guidance.
-
-## Constraints / assumptions
-
-- Issue: #462.
-- Branch: `feat/federation-m3-query-source` from `origin/main` (`e0e7be70`).
-- ASSUMPTION: `federated:<host>` should match active outbound peers by `commonName` first and by `endpointUrl` host/hostname as compatibility fallback; source tags use `peer.commonName` per `@mosaicstack/types` source-tag docs.
-- ASSUMPTION: QuerySourceService provides list/fan-out behavior; get/source routing can be layered later because card acceptance says merge rows.
-- ASSUMPTION: `source: "all"` cannot safely return a single continuation cursor for multiple sub-sources; any subquery cursor marks the merged response `_partial: true` + `_truncated: true` while omitting `nextCursor`.
-- Budget: no explicit hard cap from orchestrator; working cap ~8K-12K tokens for card 1 implementation + tests + PR cycle.
-- OpenBrain unavailable: credential loader failed with missing `/home/jarvis/.config/mosaic/credentials.json`; not blocking code delivery.
-
-## Plan
-
-1. Review federation client/types/db patterns.
-2. Write unit tests for source behavior.
-3. Implement QuerySourceService and export/register it in FederationModule.
-4. Run scoped tests, typecheck, lint, format.
-5. Run codex uncommitted review and remediate.
-6. Commit, queue guard, push, PR via wrapper.
-
-## Progress
-
-- 2026-06-24: Intake complete; using isolated worktree to avoid dirty orchestrator files in original checkout.
-- 2026-06-24: Added QuerySourceService, module export, barrel export, and 7 unit tests.
-- 2026-06-24: First Codex review found pagination and port-host matching issues; both remediated with tests.
-
-## Tests run

Changed QuerySource unit tests passed; failure is outside FED-M3-09 surface and appears tied to local DB schema state.
-
-## Review evidence
-
-- `~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/codex-code-review.sh --uncommitted` — first pass request-changes, 2 should-fix findings (all-source cursor handling; endpoint port host matching).
-- Remediation: `_partial` + `_truncated` when any all-source subquery has `nextCursor`; endpoint match accepts URL `host` and `hostname`; added tests for both.
-- `~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/codex-code-review.sh --uncommitted` — PASS/approve, no findings.
-- `~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/codex-security-review.sh --uncommitted` — PASS, risk level none, no findings.
-
-## Risks / blockers
-
-- Federation query layer is not yet wired; service API needs to be stable and easy to compose.
