 The launcher verifies your config, checks for `SOUL.md`, injects your `AGENTS.md` standards into the runtime, and forwards all arguments.
 
-Pi launches default to a token-lean skill posture: `mosaic pi` passes `--no-skills` so Pi does not preload every global skill description into the system prompt. Use `MOSAIC_PI_SKILL_MODE=all mosaic pi` for the legacy all-skills catalog, or `MOSAIC_PI_SKILL_MODE=discover mosaic pi` to let Pi use its native settings/project skill discovery.

+### Session 24 — 2026-05-22 — Gitea PR metadata wrapper hardening
+
+- Fixed `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-metadata.sh` Gitea path to fail closed on non-2xx API responses instead of normalizing API error JSON into null/empty PR metadata.
+- Added token fallback behavior: try explicit `GITEA_TOKEN`, Mosaic credential-loader token, then matching `~/.git-credentials` HTTPS token; this handles stale host-scoped credential-loader entries while preserving existing credential sources.
+- Confirmed real U-Connect Gitea PRs #1905 and #1908 now return `number`, `headRefName`, `baseRefName`, `state`, `author`, `url`, and `mergeable` correctly, restoring `pr-merge.sh` base branch detection.
