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

+
+`next` never publishes npm `latest` or Docker `latest`. The next npm publish step verifies that `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next` resolves to the computed prerelease before the pipeline can pass.

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

+# B1 / @next Durable Publish Pipeline — Design
+
+## Objective
+
+Make `next` a durable integration line that publishes the artifacts required by downstream federation boot tests without manual builds.
+
+Every merge to `next` publishes:
+
+1. **npm prerelease packages** to the Gitea npm registry with dist-tag `next`.
+2. **Gateway container image** tagged only as `gateway:sha-<short>`.
+
+The existing stable release behavior remains isolated to `main` / tags.
+
+## Registry verification
+
+Target registry: `https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/`.
+
+Pre-implementation checks:
+
+- `npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic dist-tags --registry https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/ --json` returned a dist-tags object (`latest: 0.0.48`).
+- `npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic@latest version --registry https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/` resolved `0.0.48`.
+- `@next` currently returns 404 because no `next` dist-tag exists yet; this is expected before the first next prerelease publish.
+
+Pipeline design includes a post-publish verification that `npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic@next version` resolves to the exact CI-computed prerelease version. If Gitea fails to honor the `next` dist-tag, the pipeline fails closed.
+
+## Version scheme
+
+The prerelease version is computed at publish time only; no `package.json` version changes are committed.
+
+For each non-private `@mosaicstack/*` package:
+
+```text
+<target-stable>-next.<CI_PIPELINE_NUMBER>
+```
+
+Where:
+
+- `CI_PIPELINE_NUMBER` is Woodpecker's monotonic pipeline number.
+- `target-stable` is the package's current committed stable version with the patch component incremented.
+  - Example: `@mosaicstack/mosaic` `0.0.48` publishes as `0.0.49-next.1626`.
+  - Example: `@mosaicstack/gateway` `0.0.6` publishes as `0.0.7-next.1626`.
+
+Rationale:
+
+- npm semver sorts `0.0.49-next.1627` above `0.0.49-next.1626`.
+- The prerelease does not overtake the future stable `0.0.49`.
+- The monotonic pipeline number avoids conflicts across repeated `next` merges.
+
+## Branch and tag guardrails
+
+| Pipeline path         | Branch/event                   | Publishes                                               | Forbidden              |
+| --------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
+| stable npm publish    | `main` push/manual or tag      | package versions already committed in package manifests | `@next` dist-tag       |
+| next npm publish      | `next` push/manual only        | CI-computed prereleases with `--tag next`               | `latest` dist-tag      |
+| gateway image         | `main` push/manual or tag      | `sha-<short>` + `latest` on main + tag on tag events    | next prerelease npm    |
+| gateway image         | `next` push/manual only        | `sha-<short>` only                                      | `latest`               |
+| appservice/web images | `main` push/manual or tag only | existing stable image behavior                          | next image publication |
+
+The pipeline has explicit branch checks inside the publish commands as a second fail-closed layer beyond Woodpecker `when` clauses.
+
+## Implementation plan
+
+1. Widen `.woodpecker/publish.yml` top-level `when` to include `next` so the publish pipeline runs on next merges.
+2. Keep existing `publish-npm` on `main` / tags only.
+3. Add `publish-next-npm` for `next` push/manual only:
+   - configure Gitea npm auth from existing `gitea_token` secret as `NPM_TOKEN`;
+   - preflight registry dist-tag metadata;
+   - compute prerelease versions in CI by temporarily editing package manifests in the workspace;
+   - run `pnpm publish ... --tag next` against non-private `@mosaicstack/*` packages;
+   - verify `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next` resolves to the computed version.
+4. Split image `when` anchors:
+   - `image_build_when` includes `next` and is used by `build-gateway`;
+   - `main_image_build_when` keeps appservice/web on main/tags only.
+5. Keep gateway next image destinations to `sha-<short>` only; no `latest` on next.
+
+## Risk controls
+
+- Auth/registry failures are fatal.
+- No manual image build/push path is introduced.
+- No production `latest` tags are touched from `next`.
+- No `@latest` npm dist-tags are touched from `next`.
+- All changes live in CI config and docs; no runtime source behavior changes.

+# B2 — Fresh-install skills sync path
+
+## Problem
+
+Greenfield wizard on `next` reported:
+
+```text
+Skills sync script not found at ~/.config/mosaic/bin/mosaic-sync-skills
+Skills: install failed
+```
+
+## Diagnosis
+
+The framework install migration removed the legacy `~/.config/mosaic/bin/` directory and now installs framework helper scripts under:
+
+```text
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/_scripts/
+```
+
+`packages/mosaic/src/stages/finalize.ts` still resolved wizard helper scripts from `mosaicHome/bin`, so wizard-selected skills failed even though `mosaic-sync-skills` was present in the current framework layout.
+
+## Fix
+
+- Resolve framework helper scripts through `tools/_scripts/<name>` first.
+- Keep a legacy `bin/<name>` fallback for pre-migration installs.
+- Point missing-script warnings at the current `tools/_scripts` layout.
+- Update the finalize skills test fixture to model the fresh framework layout.
+- Update framework README examples from legacy `bin/` helper paths to `tools/_scripts/`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Unit: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- finalize-skills`
+- Gates: `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm lint`, `pnpm format:check`, `pnpm build`
+- Fresh path: ran `packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh` with a temp `MOSAIC_HOME` and `MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY=1`; verified `tools/_scripts/mosaic-sync-skills` exists, legacy `bin/mosaic-sync-skills` does not, and the script installs a selected fake `lint` skill into Mosaic + Pi runtime skill directories.

+# B3 — Wizard completion ordering
+
+## Problem
+
+The wizard printed the success summary / `Mosaic is ready.` during `finalizeStage`, before the gateway configuration stage had completed its daemon health check. If the gateway health gate later failed, the user could see a success claim followed by a gateway failure.
+
+## Diagnosis
+
+`finalizeStage` handled both mutation work and terminal success messaging. Wizard paths then ran `gatewayConfigStage` and `gatewayBootstrapStage` afterward:
+
+1. finalize writes config, links runtime assets, syncs skills, runs doctor;
+2. finalize prints `Installation Summary` + `Mosaic is ready.`;
+3. gateway config starts/waits for daemon health;
+4. gateway bootstrap runs.
+
+The summary needed to be deferred until after the gateway readiness gates.
+
+## Fix
+
+- `finalizeStage` now returns a `showSummary()` callback and supports `deferSummary`.
+- Wizard/quick-start paths call finalize with `deferSummary: true`.
+- `showSummary()` is called only after gateway config reports ready and bootstrap completes, or immediately when the caller explicitly skips gateway setup.
+- If gateway health/config reports not ready, the wizard returns/aborts without printing the success summary.
+- Folded in adjacent runtime install hint fix for Pi: `curl -fsSL https://pi.dev/install.sh | sh`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Added unified-wizard coverage for summary-after-health and no-summary-on-health-failure.
+- Targeted: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- unified-wizard finalize-skills`
+- `pnpm format:check`
+- `pnpm typecheck`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `pnpm build`
+- `pnpm test`
+- Codex code review: approve.
+- Codex security review: one low finding on the requested Pi `curl | sh` install hint; no security finding in the wizard completion-ordering change.

+# B4 — Wizard step deduplication
+
+## Problem
+
+Greenfield wizard testing showed completed wizard steps could be executed again after the menu marked them `[done]`. In practice this made the Providers/API-key flow and Skills flow appear twice in one wizard run.
+
+There was a second related API-key duplication path: when the Providers step was completed with no key, `gatewayConfigStage` still prompted for `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` during Finish because it only skipped the gateway API-key prompt when `providerKey` was non-empty.
+
+## Diagnosis
+
+- `runMenuLoop` labeled completed sections with `[done]`, but still dispatched the selected step again if the user selected that row.
+- Quick Start ran Providers and Skills but did not mark those sections complete in `completedSections`.
+- `runFinishPath`/`quickStartPath` defaulted `providerType` to `none` for gateway config, which made it impossible for `gatewayConfigStage` to distinguish:
+  - provider step completed and user intentionally skipped the key, vs.
+  - provider step was never run.
+
+## Fix
+
+- Added a shared menu section key helper and a completed-step guard in `runMenuLoop`.
+- Completed menu steps now log a skip message instead of re-running their stage.
+- Quick Start marks Providers and Skills complete after running them.
+- Finish/Quick Start now pass `state.providerType` as-is to gateway config instead of defaulting to `none`.
+- `gatewayConfigStage` treats `providerType: 'none'` as an explicit completed provider setup with no key and skips the second gateway API-key prompt.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Added unified wizard regression coverage asserting repeated Providers/Skills menu selections only execute each stage once.
+- Added gateway config coverage asserting `providerType: 'none'` does not prompt for a gateway API key and writes no API key env var.
+- Targeted: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- unified-wizard gateway-config`
+- `pnpm format:check`
+- `pnpm typecheck`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `pnpm build`

+
+## Objective
+
+Add single-gateway gateway integration tests for M3 acceptance #6 and #7.
+
+## Branch / base
+
+- Branch: `feat/federation-m3-integration`
+- Base: `origin/next` (`838701bd` after M3-06/#683 merge)
+- PR base when unblocked: `next`
+
+## Scope
+
+- Real PostgreSQL via `@mosaicstack/db`.
+- Mocked TLS context / Fastify request shim for `FederationAuthGuard`.
+- Direct controller calls using the real M3 route contract: `POST /api/federation/v1/list/:resource` with body `{ limit?, cursor? }`.
+- Gated by `FEDERATED_INTEGRATION=1`.
+- No federation harness dependency.
+
+## Fixture notes
+
+Aligned with the B2 seed design vocabulary:
+
+- `tasks` visibility uses personal `projects` + `missions` chain.
+- `notes` are `mission_tasks.notes`; the integration suite asserts subject-only note visibility on an authorized mission.
+- Seed includes a second user and unauthorized team/project tasks to prove exclusion from the max-row-cap list result.
+- Grants/peers are direct DB fixtures; cert auth still runs through `FederationAuthGuard` using real X.509 certs generated by existing test helpers.
+
+## Current implementation
+
+Added `apps/gateway/src/__tests__/integration/federation-m3-list.integration.test.ts` covering:
+
+1. M3 #6 — cert missing Mosaic OIDs returns 401 federation `unauthorized` envelope.
+2. M3 #6 — valid cert whose grant row is `revoked` returns 403 federation `forbidden` envelope.
+3. M3 #7 — active grant with `max_rows_per_query: 2` caps `list tasks`, returns `_truncated` + `nextCursor`, source-tags rows, and excludes other-user / unauthorized-team tasks.
+4. Cross-user notes invariant — subject can list their own `mission_tasks.notes` row while another user's note on the same authorized mission is excluded.
+5. Unsupported-resource invariant — `list widgets` fails closed with a federation `scope_violation` envelope.

+# Installer `--next` fast npm lane — 2026-06-25
+
+## Scope
+
+Flip `tools/install.sh --next` from source-build-first to fast npm `@next` first, with source fallback.
+
+## Registry reality check
+
+Gitea npm registry: `https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/`
+
+Verified before implementation:
+
+- `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next` resolves to `0.0.49-next.1633`.
+- `@mosaicstack/gateway@next` resolves to `0.0.7-next.1633`.
+- `@mosaicstack/gateway` dist-tags include `latest: 0.0.6` and `next: 0.0.7-next.1633`.
+- `apps/gateway/package.json` is non-private and has Gitea npm `publishConfig`.
+
+Conclusion: the installer can fast-install both CLI and gateway npm packages for `--next`. The gateway Docker `gateway:sha-<short>` remains the deployment/harness artifact; the npm gateway package is valid for the installer global package path.
+
+## Behavior
+
+- `--next` with no explicit ref:
+  1. framework archive from `next`;
+  2. resolve `@mosaicstack/gateway@next` and `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next`;
+  3. require both resolved versions to share the same `next.<pipeline>` suffix;
+  4. install the exact resolved package versions;
+  5. set `MOSAIC_GATEWAY_SKIP_NPM_INSTALL=1` so wizard does not overwrite the prerelease gateway;
+  6. if either package is missing/unreachable/mismatched/fails, fall back to existing source build at `next`.
+- `--dev` remains pure source build.
+- explicit `--ref` / `MOSAIC_REF` still wins over `--next` and uses the source path for that exact ref.
+
+## Install detail
+
+The installer writes the scoped npmrc mapping (`@mosaicstack:registry=...`) and then runs npm install without overriding npm's default registry. Passing `--registry=<gitea>` to `npm install` forces public transitive dependencies (for example `@anthropic-ai/sdk`) to resolve from Gitea and breaks the fast path; the scoped npmrc mapping is the correct split-registry behavior.
+
+## Verification notes
+
+- Added `tools/install-next-lane.test.sh` with a fake npm/source harness for exact-version fast install, registry failure source fallback, explicit-ref precedence, and mismatched suffix warning.
+- Wired the installer harness into `pnpm test` via `pnpm run test:installer`.
+- Real temp-prefix fast install succeeded with `@mosaicstack/[email protected]` and `@mosaicstack/[email protected]`.

+- README/install documentation
+- Follow-up design note for future npm `@next` prerelease publishing
+
+## Plan

+- `MOSAIC_NEXT=1 MOSAIC_REF=feature-env bash tools/install.sh --check --cli` — source display shows explicit env ref wins.
+- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline --store-dir /home/jarvis/.local/share/pnpm/store` — pass (local override for repo `.npmrc` CI store path).
+- `pnpm typecheck` — pass (41 successful tasks).
+- `pnpm lint` — pass (23 successful tasks).
+- `pnpm format:check` — pass.
+- `bash tools/e2e-install-test.sh` — attempted; current baseline fails during gateway health after stable registry install because Valkey is unavailable in the clean container. The `tools/install.sh --yes --no-auto-launch` stage itself completed before the downstream gateway verification failure.

+# WebUI Fleet Bridge Planning Scratchpad
+
+**Mode:** Task 0 docs-only decision PR authorized; Task 1 and all executable/runtime work remain blocked.
+**Owner:** Velma
+**Opened:** 2026-08-09
+**Scope:** One enrolled Agent Host launching one native `mosaic claude` OAuth session and streaming it into `apps/web` through `apps/gateway`.
+
+## Objective
+
+Turn the approved direction in `jarvis-brain/docs/scratchpads/MOSAIC-WEBUI-FLEET-BRIDGE.md` into a test-first implementation plan while preserving Fred's harness-home/launcher contract and Scooby's greenfield safety findings.
+
+## Source reconciliation
+
+- Current `origin/main`: `b0f7d26dd9c14d91eaaefc35d6c9fd6618a0bd92`.
+- Current `origin/next`: `4df478cdd150fdf8d52ea109f02ade5d85017acd`.
+- Branches currently diverge (`main` has 11 unique commits; `next` has 13). `next` contains local-tier Redis fix #689; `main` contains later fleet/shell fixes.
+- Fred's three-root harness-home design and promotion stack are not yet fully present on either baseline.
+- Therefore neither current SHA is an acceptable implementation pin. Code may begin only from a Fred-certified reconciled SHA containing the required launcher/home contract and safe Gateway startup prerequisites.
+- The deployed `mosaic.woltje.com` v0.0.20 UI remains reference-only.
+
+## Verified seams
+
+- Current browser chat uses an in-process Pi SDK session.
+- `AgentRuntimeProvider` supports list/tree/stream/send/attach/detach/terminate, but not create/start.
+- `InteractionController` enrolls an already-existing runtime session; it cannot launch one.
+- Hermes is the only runtime provider registered in Gateway.
+- Tmux streaming is explicitly unsupported and remains out of scope.
+- `mosaic claude` is the authoritative launcher and accepts Claude's machine-facing stream-json flags.
+- Installed discovery version: Claude Code 2.1.226. Target Distrobox version must be independently pinned and certified.
+
+## Non-negotiable dependencies
+
+1. Fred approves the machine-facing launcher/seat-home contract before code.
+2. No WebUI/Gateway direct read of lease broker state, daemon socket, or state files (F-V3).
+3. No provider OAuth token leaves the Agent Host.
+4. No local Gateway/Web startup around the KBN/database hold.
+5. Greenfield work runs in a Debian Distrobox with an isolated home.
+6. The initial plan PR targets `next`; Fred binds D1–D15 on its exact head before issue/PRD/tracker completion or implementation work.
+
+## Reproducible evidence
+
+Run from a clean Stack clone:
+
+```bash
+git fetch origin main next
+git rev-parse origin/main origin/next
+git rev-list --left-right --count origin/main...origin/next
+rg -n "interface AgentRuntimeProvider|createSession|streamEvents|terminate" \

+- `/tmp/velma-plan-structure.txt`
+- `/tmp/velma-plan-scooby.txt`
+- `/tmp/velma-plan-runtime-contract.txt`
+
+## Source findings that constrain the design
+
+- `interaction_sessions.id` is the stable primary key; there are no create/policy/enrollment/state columns.
+- `interaction_outbox` has a unique `(session_id, idempotency_key)` index and only `pending | processing | delivered`.
+- Baseline `DurableSessionRepository.create()` can replace provider/runtime identity for the same owner; M1 must remove that implicit mutation.
+- Baseline termination approval is Redis-backed and currently consumes separately from PostgreSQL; M1 therefore needs durable authorization acceptance before destructive token deletion/dispatch.
+- Existing interaction HTTP base is `/api/interaction/:agentName`; the plan extends it rather than inventing a second route family.
+- Baseline `launch.ts`/lease launcher still use ambient lookup/literal interpreters. Section 4.1 is non-binding consumer input to Fred's W-F design; W-F's final resolved-launch contract must exist in the certified base before Velma can certify it.
+- Root `pnpm test` is not KBN-safe: it includes PGlite migration and framework-shell/lease-broker suites.
+
+## Independent draft review
+
+Seven adversarial review rounds found and drove explicit fixes for:
+
+- a candidate resolved-seat consumer descriptor and threat model, now explicitly non-binding input to Fred's W-F-owned launcher design;
+- one active launch per stable conversation, exact pending/failed encodings, durable pre-dispatch reservation, CAS activation, and crash lookup without a migration;
+- generation-bound enrollment, command/event revalidation, `SIGHUP` config epochs, and stale-epoch rejection;
+- Redis/PostgreSQL exact-stop crash safety via non-destructive verify, durable authorization acceptance, atomic claim/`GETDEL`, and same-operation status reconciliation;
+- sequence gaps/reorder limits, deterministic UUIDv5 completion, and Gateway restart fail-closed behavior;
+- shared streaming redaction before host ring/transport and again before Gateway persistence/browser;
+- D2/D12-selected path-free provenance and a separate safe browser DTO—never raw or hashed path strings;
+- exact F-V3 boundary: bridge has no broker API, while Fred's sealed launcher may enforce broker policy internally;
+- migration-free focused tests in Tasks 1–8, with live OAuth, repository transaction, Gateway/Web, and Playwright restricted to the Fred/Scooby-certified Task 9 path;
+- candidate private/public commitment and artifact-binding mechanisms that W-F may accept, simplify, replace, or defer;
+- JCS event-digest recomputation and equal/different duplicate handling in both accepted and future-buffer states;
+- a safe browser presentation DTO for host/workspace/seat/persona labels, readiness, and connection state;
+- explicit `OnApplicationBootstrap` create/stop recovery enumeration with no auto-launch;
+- all POSIX/Windows/UNC/file/tilde path classes in the streaming redactor and definitive failed-stop response semantics;
+- the full 14-column canonical task schema, fake-only Task 5 repository tests, migration-free certified Task 9 DB test, server-owned operation correlations/routes, and exact merged-SHA smoke;
+- per-commit independent review, queue guards, exact-head PR review, squash merge, exact merged-next SHA/CI wait, worktree-bound smoke, issue-state readback, and reviewed tracker-closure PR with its own merged-next CI;
+- a private DB URL loader captured/exported per session without recording or echoing the credential;
+- an attached Task 9 implementation branch, provider-filtered exact issue-state readback, and machine-verified smoke JSON binding source/worktree/deployed SHA;
+- a capped, duplicate-key-rejecting, exact-key/type smoke schema so report extensions or JSON boolean/float coercion cannot smuggle data or fake child-count evidence.
+
+The plan remains deliberately **decision-PR-ready, not implementation-ready**. Fred authorized only Task 0's initial two-document PR on `next`. He must still return every Section 2 value, replace all `[FRED-GATE]` entries, certify storage/startup, and provide the W-F-dependent `IMPLEMENTATION_BASE_SHA` before Task 0 closes or Task 1 starts.
+
+## Current status
+
+- Gitea principal verified as `velma`; helper and API wrapper resolution are fail-closed and correct.
+- Fred authorized the initial Task 0 docs-only PR in `comms/20260809T094952Z__from-fred__ec0e85.md` and confirmed its `next` lane/W-F descriptor corrections in `comms/20260809T095437Z__from-fred__4ee79d.md`.
+- Provisional decisions: D1/D8/D9/D10/D13/D14 approved; D4 tool labels exactly `{Read, Grep, Glob}`; D5/D12 provisional; D11 remains a single-operator seam; D2/D3/D6/D7 and `IMPLEMENTATION_BASE_SHA` are `BLOCKED-ON-W-F`.
+- Awaiting exact plan-PR-head review and Fred's complete D1–D15 binding contract.
+- No source code, database, deployment, or live runtime changes made.

+
+**Task ID:** WEBUI-P2
+**Tracking ref:** stacked on PR #1143 (`feat/webui-p1-vite-skeleton`); no separate issue specified in the author brief
+**Branch:** `feat/webui-p2-data-auth`
+**Started:** 2026-08-09
+**Role:** P2 author worker (must not modify `docs/TASKS.md`)
+
+## Original tasking
+
+> Read `/home/jwoltje/briefs/P2-brief.md` and execute it fully in `/home/jwoltje/src/stack-p1` on branch `feat/webui-p2-data-auth`. Run every listed verification gate, commit locally only, and do not push.
+
+Container path mapping:
+
+- Brief: `/home/jwoltje/distrobox-homes/mosaic-dev/briefs/P2-brief.md`
+- Repo: `/home/jwoltje/distrobox-homes/mosaic-dev/src/stack-p1`
+
+## Objective
+
+Make the P1 Vite SPA authenticate against the Mosaic Gateway by same-origin relative paths, replace guest-route placeholders with real login/register/SSO callback pages, and enforce guest/authenticated route guards without modifying the parallel Next app tree except for unavoidable shared-library import fixes.
+
+## Scope and invariants
+
+- All SPA HTTP and Socket.IO access remains origin-relative (`/api/...`, `/api/auth/...`, `/chat`).
+- No `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`, `VITE_*` origin setting, or hard-coded `http://localhost:14242` under `apps/web/src/`.
+- Verify the Gateway BetterAuth mount path from source before choosing auth-client configuration.
+- Delete the legacy static SSO-provider discovery module and test; runtime `/api/sso/providers` is canonical.
+- Preserve the Next build while adding React Router guest pages and session guards.
+- Never push; stage named files only; do not touch the modified `.mosaic/orchestrator/session.lock`.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Inspect P1 SPA structure, shared libraries, legacy Next auth pages/components, Gateway auth mount, and current test setup.
+2. Add/adjust tests first for relative API behavior, auth-client origin configuration, relative Socket.IO singleton behavior, and all guard session states; run focused tests and capture expected RED failures.
+3. Implement shared-library relative networking and remove the legacy SSO-provider module/imports.
+4. Port login, register, and provider callback pages to React Router and wire routes.
+5. Implement session-aware guest/auth guards and satisfy focused tests.
+6. Run focused tests, all brief verification gates, invariant searches, and an independent code/security review; remediate and re-run affected gates.
+7. Update this scratchpad with evidence, stage named files only, and commit locally.
+
+## Testing strategy
+
+- TDD is required because this increment changes authentication/session behavior.
+- Primary situational evidence: jsdom router guard state tests plus guest-page/auth-flow contract tests already present or added as needed.
+- Baseline gates: web tests, Vite build, Next build, typecheck, lint, and root format check exactly as listed in the brief.
+- Browser automation is not required by the brief for P2; if used, it will be headless only.
+
+## Budget
+
+No explicit user token cap was provided. Working soft cap: **30K tokens**, derived from a multi-file auth/frontend increment with tests, dual builds, review, and remediation. Keep implementation within the brief; no unrelated refactors or dependencies.
+
+## Progress / evidence
+
+- [x] Loaded mission protocol, active MVP manifest/scratchpad, top-level tasks, PRD, relevant frontend/auth/testing/type/review guides, and matching skills.
+- [x] Resolved host paths to the Distrobox-mapped repo and brief.
+- [x] Confirmed branch `feat/webui-p2-data-auth`, stacked at P1 commit `068d0f9b`.
+- [x] Source and Gateway mount inspection complete.
+- [x] RED tests observed.
+- [x] Implementation complete.
+- [x] Independent review complete and findings remediated.
+- [x] Verification gates complete.
+- [x] Local implementation commit created: `46d68e1f`.
+
+### Source decisions
+
+- Gateway source mounts BetterAuth at `/api/auth/` in `apps/gateway/src/auth/auth.controller.ts`; `packages/auth/src/auth.ts` configures `basePath: '/api/auth'`.
+- BetterAuth 1.5.5 defaults its browser client to `/api/auth` when `baseURL` is omitted. `src/lib/auth-client.ts` therefore omits `baseURL`, preserving same-origin behavior without encoding any gateway origin.
+- The only `src/app/` edit is the transitional Next provider redirect page. Deleting `src/lib/sso-providers.ts` required that mechanical consumer migration; it now uses the same runtime `/api/sso/providers` discovery and callback sanitizer as the SPA.
+- GuestGuard pending behavior intentionally follows the approved brief: if no session object exists (including pending), render `<Outlet />`; only a present session redirects to `/chat`. AuthGuard alone renders the specified pending treatment.
+
+### TDD evidence
+
+- Initial focused run: 9 expected failures, proving absolute API/auth/socket origins, P1 guest placeholders, and missing guard redirects/loading behavior.
+- After implementation: focused contract suite 15/15 passed.
+- Security remediation RED: `%2F%0A%2F%2Fevil.example` reached `signIn.oauth2` as an external-normalizing callback target before the fix.
+- Security remediation GREEN: shared `resolveAuthCallbackURL` unit suite 9/9 plus SPA callback regression 1/1 passed; both SPA and Next consumers use the shared helper.
+
+### Independent review
+
+- Primary Codex wrappers could not run because `jq` is absent; direct Codex fallback then failed authentication with HTTP 401. No review result was claimed from those attempts.
+- Independent Claude Sonnet code review found no implementation-scope blocker, one pending-state UX suggestion, and one pre-existing `api.ts` type-assertion suggestion. The pending-state suggestion was rejected because it contradicts the brief's explicit GuestGuard contract; the API cleanup is outside P2's preserve-contract scope.
+- Independent Claude Sonnet security review found a high-severity control-character open redirect in the callback prefix check shared by the newly ported SPA logic and transitional Next consumer.
+- Remediation centralized WHATWG URL parsing plus exact current-origin comparison in `src/lib/auth-redirect.ts`, returns only path/search/hash, and added the RED-first regression above.
+- Fresh code re-review: `approve`, 0 blockers, 0 should-fix findings.
+- Fresh security re-review: `low`, 0 critical/high/medium/low findings.
+
+### Documentation checklist disposition
+
+- `docs/PRD.md` exists and P2 aligns to FR-8 / AC-7 authentication requirements.
+- No Gateway endpoint, DTO, permission, or API schema changed; existing `/api/auth/*` and `/api/sso/providers` contracts are consumed unchanged, so OpenAPI/API-index updates are not applicable.
+- Route paths were already present in the P1 route table; P2 replaces placeholders without changing site-map navigation, so `docs/SITEMAP.md` is unchanged.
+- User/admin auth behavior is parity with the still-live Next implementation, not a new workflow. Implementation decisions, failure behavior, testing, and migration compatibility are documented here; no publishing action is in scope.
+- Documentation remains in-repo; no generated publishing output was created.
+
+### Final verification evidence
+
+Run fresh after remediation from the locations required by the brief:
+
+- `apps/web: pnpm test` — PASS: `Test Files 9 passed (9)`; `Tests 27 passed (27)`.
+- `apps/web: pnpm build:vite` — PASS: `✓ 113 modules transformed`; `✓ built in 565ms`.
+- `apps/web: pnpm build` — PASS: `✓ Compiled successfully in 4.6s`; 10/10 static pages generated; dynamic provider/project routes retained.
+- `apps/web: pnpm typecheck` — PASS: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0.
+- `apps/web: pnpm lint` — PASS: `eslint src` exited 0.
+- Root `pnpm format:check` — PASS: `All matched files use Prettier code style!`.
+- Invariant scan — PASS: no `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`, `VITE_*`, `GATEWAY_URL`, `http://localhost:14242`, or `sso-providers` references under `apps/web/src`.
+- `git diff --check` — PASS.
+- All six required gates above were repeated successfully after implementation commit `46d68e1f`, proving the exact committed source tree.
+
+## Risks / blockers
+
+- `.mosaic/orchestrator/session.lock` is modified by the active harness and must remain unstaged.
+- P2 changes shared `src/lib/` modules consumed by both Vite and Next, so the Next build is a required compatibility gate.
+
+## Remediation 1 — independent Node 26 verification failure
+
+**Correction received:** 2026-08-09
+
+The orchestrator rejected the P2 verification claim after an independent run under Node 26.4.0 produced 2 failed redirect tests and 2 unhandled errors. React Router passed jsdom's realm-local `AbortSignal` to Node 26's native undici `Request`, which rejects non-native signals. Production guard behavior is correct and must not change.
+
+### Remediation constraints
+
+- Preserve both redirect assertions and all `guards.tsx` behavior; no skips, weakening, or test deletion.
+- Add the smallest Vitest environment repair so global `AbortController` / `AbortSignal` are constructors accepted by native undici `Request`.
+- Run all six required gates, commit named files locally without pushing, leave `.mosaic/orchestrator/session.lock` untouched, then run `apps/web: pnpm test` as the final worktree action.
+- Completion requires zero failed tests, zero test errors, and zero unhandled rejections.
+
+### Remediation plan
+
+1. Reproduce under Node 26.4.0 if an ephemeral matching runtime is available.
+2. Add a Vitest `setupFiles` module deriving Node-native abort constructors from `node:util` and register it in `apps/web/vitest.config.ts`.
+3. Add a direct regression assertion that a global controller's signal is accepted by native `Request`, while retaining the existing redirect behavior tests unchanged.
+4. Run focused Node 22 and Node 26 tests, independent review, all required gates, and local commit(s).
+5. After every edit/commit/status check is complete, run `pnpm test` from `apps/web` as the last command.
+
+### Remediation implementation and evidence
+
+- Reproduced under ephemeral Node `v26.4.0`: `Test Files 1 failed (1)`, `Tests 2 failed | 4 passed (6)`, `Errors 2 errors`, with the exact undici `AbortSignal` realm rejection from the remediation brief.
+- Added `apps/web/src/test/setup.ts`, registered through `vitest.config.ts#setupFiles`. It derives Node-native abort constructors from the built-in `node:util.transferableAbortController()` and aligns both `globalThis` and jsdom `window`; it does not replace `Request`, `Response`, or `fetch`.
+- Explicitly pinned Vitest `isolate: true` so the test-only global constructors cannot leak between test-file environments.
+- Added `src/test/setup.spec.ts`, which proves a global controller signal is accepted by Node's native `Request` and that abort propagation remains functional.
+- Existing `guards.spec.tsx` and production `guards.tsx` remain unchanged.
+- Focused Node 26.4.0 remediation run: `Test Files 2 passed (2)` and `Tests 7 passed (7)`, with zero errors/unhandled rejections.
+- Preliminary full Node 26.4.0 run: `Test Files 9 passed (9)` and `Tests 27 passed (27)`, with zero errors/unhandled rejections before the direct setup regression was added.
+- No dependency was added; `node:util` is a Node built-in.
+
+### Remediation independent review
+
+- First code review: approve, 0 blockers, 0 should-fix; suggested a direct Request regression and version-neutral comment.
+- First security/integrity review: low risk; suggested pinning test isolation explicitly.
+- All suggestions were applied.
+- Fresh code re-review: approve, 0 blockers, 0 should-fix, no findings.
+- Fresh security/integrity re-review: low risk, 0 findings.
+
+### Remediation pre-commit gate evidence
+
+- Node 26.4.0 `pnpm test`: `Test Files 10 passed (10)`; `Tests 28 passed (28)`; zero errors and zero unhandled rejections.
+- `pnpm typecheck`: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0.
+- `pnpm build:vite`: `✓ 113 modules transformed`; `✓ built in 960ms`.
+- `pnpm build` (Next): `✓ Compiled successfully in 4.8s`; static pages generated 10/10.
+- `pnpm lint`: `eslint src` exited 0.
+- Root `pnpm format:check`: `All matched files use Prettier code style!`.
+- Final post-commit non-test gates and final-action Node 26 `pnpm test` remain required before reporting completion.
+
+### Remediation committed verification
+
+- Implementation commit: `e16c08aa` (`test(web): align jsdom abort signals with Node`).
+- Post-commit `pnpm typecheck`: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0.
+- Post-commit `pnpm build:vite`: `✓ 113 modules transformed`; `✓ built in 323ms`.
+- Post-commit `pnpm build` (Next): `✓ Compiled successfully in 4.6s`; static pages generated 10/10.
+- Post-commit `pnpm lint`: `eslint src` exited 0.
+- Post-commit root `pnpm format:check`: `All matched files use Prettier code style!`.
+- Final Node 26 `pnpm test` will be the last worktree action and its verbatim output will be reported to the orchestrator.
