feat(framework): P1+P2 — public sanitization + blocking CI gate

Adds tools/quality/scripts/verify-sanitized.sh (two-class, self-tested) wired
blocking in .woodpecker/ci.yml; sanitizes operator identity from the public
framework package so the gate is green.

- purge jarvis/jason/woltje/PDA across 26 files -> generic
- delete jarvis-loop.json overlay; add neutral examples/{personas,overlays}
- relocate maintainer AUDIT to docs/audits/; delete 2 jarvis-brain rule blocks
- neutralize SOUL persona; strip "(Policy: Jason ...)" keeping universal rule
- test fixtures jason.woltje -> ci-bot (both git tests pass)

Deferred (tracked): private third-party host (uscllc) genericization.

Refs #542, closes #571

+# Local Fleet Canary
+
+The local fleet canary runs a small tmux-backed Mosaic agent fleet on an
+isolated tmux socket. The default socket is `mosaic-factory`; the commands do
+not use or stop the default tmux server.
+
+## Files
+
+Product-owned defaults:
+
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/fleet/roster.schema.json`
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/fleet/examples/minimal.yaml`
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/fleet/examples/local-canary.yaml`
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/systemd/user/mosaic-tmux-holder.service`
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/systemd/user/mosaic-agent@.service`
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/start-agent-session.sh`
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/tmux/agent-send.sh`
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/tmux/send-message.sh`
+
+These files are published through `packages/mosaic/package.json`, whose `files`
+allowlist includes `framework` along with `dist`.
+
+Site-owned local roster:
+
+```text
+~/.config/mosaic/fleet/roster.yaml
+```
+
+Do not put a host-specific full roster into product defaults. Start from an
+example and edit the local roster after `mosaic fleet init --write`.
+
+## Install
+
+Minimal canary:
+
+```bash
+mosaic fleet init --profile minimal --write
+# If a site-owned roster already exists, inspect it first; overwrite only explicitly:
+# mosaic fleet init --profile minimal --write --force
+mosaic fleet install-systemd
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+mosaic fleet start
+mosaic fleet verify
+```
+
+Small dogfood roster:
+
+```bash
+mosaic fleet init --profile local-canary --write
+# Use --force only after preserving any site-owned roster changes.
+mosaic fleet install-systemd
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+mosaic fleet start
+mosaic fleet status
+```
+
+## Agent Operations
+
+```bash
+mosaic agent roster
+mosaic agent status
+mosaic agent status canary-pi
+mosaic agent send canary-pi --message "status check"
+mosaic agent reset canary-pi --new
+mosaic agent tail canary-pi -n 80
+```
+
+These commands read the roster and target the configured tmux socket. The
+generated systemd agent services use `start-agent-session.sh`; message delivery
+uses the tmux send tools with `-L mosaic-factory`.
+
+`mosaic agent send` is operator-origin traffic unless a caller explicitly says
+otherwise. The CLI always passes a deterministic source label to
+`agent-send.sh` with `-S`, defaulting to `<hostname>:operator`, so it does not
+query the target tmux socket and accidentally identify as an active agent pane.
+Use `--source-label <label>` or `--source <label>` only when deliberately
+impersonating a known handoff lane. The lower-level inter-agent wrapper
+`agent-send.sh -S <label>` remains the explicit source override for scripts.
+
+## Verification
+
+Use these checks before expanding the roster:
+
+```bash
+tmux -L mosaic-factory ls
+tmux ls
+mosaic fleet verify
+systemctl --user status mosaic-tmux-holder.service
+```
+
+Expected results:
+
+- `tmux -L mosaic-factory ls` shows `_holder` and roster agent sessions.
+- `tmux ls` shows only the default tmux server sessions and is not changed by
+  fleet start/stop operations.
+- `mosaic fleet verify` checks exact session targets on the isolated socket.
+- `systemctl --user status ...` may show `active (exited)` for oneshot units;
+  that means the unit ran, not that an agent pane is live. Treat tmux
+  `has-session`, `list-panes`, process tree, and logs as the liveness evidence.
+
+## Release Preflight
+
+Run this checklist before cutting or dogfooding a fleet release:
+
+- Real AI dogfood: send at least one task through `mosaic agent send`, then
+  confirm the agent accepted/responded using pane, process, or log evidence.
+- Restart/stop/idempotency: run `mosaic fleet start`, `restart`, `stop`, and a
+  repeated `start` against the named socket; verify the default tmux server is
+  unchanged.
+- Liveness verification: run `mosaic fleet verify` and confirm roster sessions
+  with `tmux -L mosaic-factory ls` or exact `has-session` checks.
+- Package dry-run: run `npm pack --dry-run --json` from `packages/mosaic` and
+  confirm `framework/fleet`, `framework/systemd/user`,
+  `framework/tools/fleet`, and `framework/tools/tmux` assets are included.
+- Mosaic update test: install or upgrade from the packed artifact in a temporary
+  Mosaic home and confirm `mosaic update` or the release upgrade path does not
+  remove local roster/config files.
+
+## Rollback
+
+Stop the local canary:
+
+```bash
+mosaic fleet stop
+systemctl --user disable mosaic-agent@canary-pi.service
+systemctl --user disable mosaic-tmux-holder.service
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+```
+
+For a full local cleanup of generated canary files:
+
+```bash
+rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/mosaic-agent@.service
+rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/mosaic-tmux-holder.service
+rm -rf ~/.config/mosaic/fleet
+rm -rf ~/.config/mosaic/tools/fleet
+```
+
+This rollback leaves the default tmux server untouched. If a canary session is
+still present after service stop, remove only the isolated socket server:
+
+```bash
+tmux -L mosaic-factory kill-server
+```

+# Fleet CLI Local Canary Dogfood — 2026-06-20
+
+## Objective
+
+Move the durable tmux fleet PoC into a functional local canary on this server. This is **not** production deployment. It is a canary/dogfood path for a small local agent fleet using an isolated tmux socket.
+
+## Issue
+
+- Gitea issue: #562 — `feat(fleet): local CLI canary dogfood`
+
+## Scope
+
+Implement enough product surface to use the fleet locally:
+
+- `mosaic fleet init/install/start/stop/restart/status/verify`
+- `mosaic agent roster/status/send/reset/tail`
+- roster schema and examples
+- local canary docs and rollback instructions
+- tests for CLI behavior where practical
+- canary verification on named tmux socket `mosaic-factory`
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No production rollout.
+- No migration of existing default tmux sessions.
+- No image build/deploy work.
+- No hardcoded USC/local roster as product default.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- CLI can initialize a minimal roster outside product defaults.
+- CLI can install user systemd units and fleet helper scripts to a configurable Mosaic home.
+- CLI can start/stop/status/verify a canary fleet using `mosaic-factory`.
+- `mosaic agent send` uses existing named-socket/exact-target tmux tooling.
+- `mosaic agent reset` targets only the named agent session on the named socket.
+- Verification proves default tmux sessions remain untouched.
+- Baseline repo gates pass.
+- PR CI is green before merge.
+- Local canary evidence is captured after merge/install.
+
+## Budget / Routing
+
+- Agent: codex preferred.
+- Estimate: 25K-40K tokens.
+- Worker owns implementation/tests/docs in branch `feat/fleet-cli-local-canary`.
+- Orchestrator owns `docs/TASKS.md`, issue/PR/merge, and local canary install verification.
+
+## Progress
+
+- 2026-06-20: #557 PoC primitives merged to `main` as `45e2c2a`.
+- 2026-06-20: issue #562 created for local CLI canary dogfood.
+- 2026-06-20: worktree created at `/home/jarvis/src/mosaicstack-stack-worktrees/fleet-cli-local-canary`.

+# Fleet release hardening
+
+## Objective
+
+Harden the Mosaic local fleet release path for operator sends, tmux/systemd verification, package contents, and dogfood release documentation.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Do not edit `docs/TASKS.md`.
+- Do not change production deployment refs.
+- Keep fleet transport generic and named-socket safe.
+- Preserve strict roster validation.
+- Add tests first or alongside fixes.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Add regression tests for deterministic `mosaic agent send` source labels.
+2. Strengthen fleet status/verify/package/install-systemd coverage.
+3. Implement focused CLI/source-label changes.
+4. Update local canary documentation with dogfood preflight.
+5. Run formatting, targeted tests, typecheck, lint, and package dry-run evidence.
+
+## Evidence Log
+
+- Started from existing `docs/PRD.md`; durable local fleet canary is in v0.1.0 scope.
+- Loaded `mosaic-fleet-operations` skill; key constraints are isolated tmux sockets, no default tmux positive tests, and `active (exited)` is not liveness.
+- TDD red: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- src/commands/fleet.spec.ts` initially failed because `node_modules` was absent; after `pnpm install`, the new source-label tests failed on missing `-S`, missing helper, and unknown `--source-label`.
+- Green implementation: `mosaic agent send` now passes `-S <hostname>:operator` by default and accepts `--source-label` / `--source` overrides.
+- Test coverage added for tmux-based fleet verify liveness, package `files` allowlist containing `framework`, and explicit operator source-label command construction.
+- Formatting: `pnpm exec prettier --write packages/mosaic/src/commands/fleet.ts packages/mosaic/src/commands/fleet.spec.ts docs/guides/fleet-local-canary.md docs/scratchpads/2026-06-20-fleet-release-hardening.md`.
+- Targeted tests: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- src/commands/fleet.spec.ts src/cli-smoke.spec.ts` passed with 49 tests.
+- Typecheck: `pnpm typecheck` passed.
+- Lint: `pnpm lint` passed.
+- Package dry-run: `npm pack --dry-run --json` from `packages/mosaic` included `framework/fleet`, `framework/systemd/user`, `framework/tools/fleet/start-agent-session.sh`, and `framework/tools/tmux/{agent-send.sh,send-message.sh}`.
+- Review: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/codex-code-review.sh --uncommitted` approved the supplied diff with no findings; the review tool noted its read-only sandbox could not inspect files directly.

+# Wrapper hardening fold-in: #559 (eval removal) + #560 (host-derived login)
+
+**Branch:** `fix/wrapper-hardening-tls-credpath-cicwait` (PR #551)
+**Worker:** coderlite0 (Sonnet lane) · coordinated by mos-claude
+**Date:** 2026-06-20
+**Scope:** `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/*.sh` only
+
+## What the issues asked for vs. what was already landed
+
+Both issues were largely satisfied by prior merged work; this fold-in closes the
+remaining gaps (regression tests + a loud diagnostic + one residual word-split site)
+rather than re-implementing finished functionality.
+
+### #559 — remove `eval` from issue-create.sh (and siblings)
+
+- `eval`-based command construction was already removed across the wrapper surface
+  (landed in #549). A full scan of `tools/git/*.sh` finds **zero** `eval` usages.
+- `issue-create.sh`, `pr-create.sh`, `issue-edit.sh`, `issue-assign.sh` already build
+  their `tea`/`gh` invocations as argv arrays (`CMD=(...)`, `"${CMD[@]}"`), so Markdown
+  bodies pass through verbatim.
+- **Residual found & fixed:** `issue-comment.sh` still used unquoted
+  `$(get_gitea_repo_args)` word-splitting (the comment body itself was already safely
+  quoted, so no injection bug — but it was the inconsistent, fragile pattern #559 targets,
+  and it failed silently when no login resolved). Converted to an argv array with an
+  explicit, loud login-resolution error.
+- **Added regression test:** `test-issue-create-body-safety.sh` — feeds a hostile
+  Markdown body (`$(touch SENTINEL)`, backticks, single/double quotes, `$HOME`/`${PATH}`,
+  pipes/`&&`/`;`) through `issue-create.sh` and asserts (1) no command substitution
+  executes (sentinel file never created) and (2) the `--description` `tea` receives is
+  byte-for-byte the original body.
+
+### #560 — auto-detect Gitea `--login` from repo origin host
+
+- Centralized host→login resolution already exists in `detect-platform.sh`
+  (`get_gitea_login_for_host` → `find_tea_login_for_host`, matching `urlparse(url).hostname`).
+  Every wrapper routes through it (or `get_gitea_login` / `get_gitea_login_for_repo_override`);
+  **no wrapper hardcodes `${GITEA_LOGIN:-mosaicstack}`**. Explicit `GITEA_LOGIN` wins only
+  when it matches the host (`tea_login_matches_host`), so stale overrides are rejected.
+- **Gap fixed — silent failure → loud diagnostic:** the failure path of
+  `get_gitea_login_for_host` returned non-zero with no message. Added
+  `print_gitea_login_diagnostic`, emitted to **stderr** on resolution failure: names the
+  unresolved host, lists available tea logins (name + host), and gives the `GITEA_LOGIN`
+  override + `tea login add` fix. Stderr-only, so it never contaminates stdout (the
+  resolved login name) or the log-grep assertions in the existing harnesses. Callers with
+  an API fallback (pr-merge, issue-close, pr-create, issue-create) still follow with their
+  own "using API fallback" line, giving a clear "no login → fallback" trail.
+- **Extended test:** `test-gitea-login-resolution.sh` now also asserts (a) the loud
+  diagnostic fires and lists available logins for an unresolved host, (b) login is derived
+  from origin host for **both** instances (mosaicstack + usc) via a scoped second `tea`
+  mock, and (c) a valid `GITEA_LOGIN` override is honored. The scoped mock keeps the
+  existing API-fallback assertions (which require mosaicstack to have _no_ tea login) valid.
+
+## Files changed (wrapper surface only)
+
+- `detect-platform.sh` — add `print_gitea_login_diagnostic`; call it on the
+  `get_gitea_login_for_host` failure path.
+- `issue-comment.sh` — argv array + loud login-resolution error (was unquoted
+  `$(get_gitea_repo_args)`).
+- `test-issue-create-body-safety.sh` — **new** (#559 regression).
+- `test-gitea-login-resolution.sh` — extended (#560 diagnostic + both-host + override).
+
+## Verification
+
+All wrapper harnesses pass locally:
+
+- `test-issue-create-body-safety.sh` — PASS
+- `test-gitea-login-resolution.sh` — PASS
+- `test-pr-merge-gitea-empty-uid.sh` — PASS
+- `test-pr-metadata-gitea.sh` — PASS
+- `test-lane-brief-pr-linkage.sh` — PASS
+
+## Open items flagged to mos-claude (orchestrator decisions)
+
+1. **CHANGELOG absent.** The task said "update CHANGELOG (append-only), keep the existing
+   #550/#551 entry." No CHANGELOG file exists anywhere in the repo, and #550/#551 are not
+   recorded in one. **ASSUMPTION:** documenting #559/#560 in this scratchpad + the PR
+   description (`Closes #559 Closes #560`) follows the repo's actual convention
+   (`docs/scratchpads/`). Did not invent a new CHANGELOG structure.
+2. **`docs/TASKS.md` is orchestrator single-writer.** It carries a "Workers read but never
+   modify" banner. As a worker I did **not** edit it; task tracking is via the linked Gitea
+   issues #559/#560 + this scratchpad. Orchestrator may add a rollup row if desired.
+3. **Wrapper `test-*.sh` are not CI-wired.** `.woodpecker/ci.yml` runs `pnpm
+typecheck/lint/format:check/test` (`turbo run test`); the framework dir has no
+   `package.json`, so these shell harnesses run **locally/manually only** — they do not gate
+   the PR in Woodpecker. **ASSUMPTION:** out of scope to wire a shell-test step into CI in
+   this PR (would broaden the diff beyond the wrapper surface). Flagging for a follow-up if
+   the fleet wants these gated.

+# Fleet CLI Local Canary Review Fixes
+
+## Objective
+
+Fix only the two should-fix code review findings:
+
+1. Ensure `@mosaicstack/mosaic` declares `yaml` and lockfile state is current.
+2. Validate `mosaic agent status [agent]` against the fleet roster before constructing/running the tmux target.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Do not modify `docs/TASKS.md`.
+- Leave changes uncommitted.
+- Run requested formatting and quality gates.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Inspect manifest/lockfile state for `yaml`.
+2. Add failing regression test for `mosaic agent status typo`.
+3. Patch `registerFleetAgentCommands` status validation.
+4. Format touched files.
+5. Run requested tests, typecheck, and lint.
+6. Review final diff.
+
+## Progress
+
+- Loaded required repo/global/runtime instructions.
+- Confirmed `packages/mosaic/package.json` already declares `yaml`.
+- Confirmed `pnpm-lock.yaml` already has `packages/mosaic` importer entry for `yaml`.
+- Found `registerFleetAgentCommands` status path does not validate agent before building tmux target.
+
+## Verification
+
+- TDD red check: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- src/commands/fleet.spec.ts`
+  failed before the production fix because `mosaic agent status typo` resolved instead of
+  rejecting.
+- Focused green check: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- src/commands/fleet.spec.ts`
+  passed after adding roster validation.
+- Formatting: `pnpm exec prettier --write packages/mosaic/src/commands/fleet.ts packages/mosaic/src/commands/fleet.spec.ts docs/scratchpads/fleet-cli-local-canary-review-fixes.md`
+  completed with all files unchanged.
+- Requested tests: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- src/commands/fleet.spec.ts src/cli-smoke.spec.ts`
+  passed with 36 tests.
+- Baseline typecheck: `pnpm typecheck` passed.
+- Baseline lint: `pnpm lint` passed.
+- Independent review: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/codex-code-review.sh --uncommitted`
+  returned approve with 0 findings. Note: reviewer reported broader context inspection was limited
+  by its read-only sandbox, so review was based on the supplied diff.
+- `docs/TASKS.md` has no diff.
+
+## Risks
+
+- `docs/TASKS.md` intentionally untouched per user instruction.
+- Review finding 1 required no file edit: `packages/mosaic/package.json` already declares
+  `yaml`, and the `packages/mosaic` importer in `pnpm-lock.yaml` already includes `yaml`.

+## 2026-06-18 — PR #549 functional blocker remediation
+
+### Assignment
+
+Coordinator `mos-claude` assigned remediation for PR #549: fix `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-metadata.sh` tmpfile cleanup where an `EXIT` trap references function-local `body_file` after the function returns inside `RAW=$(...)`, producing `body_file: unbound variable` on the authenticated success path and failing to clean up safely on early `set -e` exits.
+
+### Plan
+
+1. Add a non-vacuous Gitea test that exercises `curl_gitea_pull` with stubbed `curl` and `GITEA_TOKEN` instead of `MOSAIC_GITEA_PR_METADATA_RAW_FILE`.
+2. Prove the new test is RED against the current PR head.
+3. Replace the function-local `EXIT` cleanup with robust function-scoped tmpfile cleanup.
+4. Re-run targeted tests, `bash -n`, and review gates; commit and push branch only. Do not merge.
+
+### Constraints / assumptions
+
+- Do not modify prior injection/JSON fixes in `issue-edit`, `issue-assign`, or `milestone-create`.
+- Worker role: do not modify `docs/TASKS.md`; orchestrator remains the single writer.
+- Budget: no explicit token cap provided; keep scope to shell wrapper + targeted regression harness.
+
+### Remediation results
+
+- Rebased `fix/tooling-eval-injection-jq-json` onto `origin/main`; branch was already current.
+- Added a curl-stub regression path that does not use `MOSAIC_GITEA_PR_METADATA_RAW_FILE`, so it exercises `curl_gitea_pull` and its temp body file.
+- RED evidence: copied the new harness next to the pre-fix `HEAD` version of `pr-metadata.sh`; `MOSAIC_TEST_WORK_DIR=$PWD/.mosaic-test-work/pr-metadata-red-work .../test-pr-metadata-gitea.sh` failed with `body_file: unbound variable` on the curl success path.
+- Fix: replaced `EXIT` temp-file cleanup with a `RETURN`-scoped cleanup function that removes the body file while the function-local variable is still in scope, preserves the original return status, and clears the `RETURN` trap.
+- GREEN evidence:
+  - `MOSAIC_TEST_WORK_DIR=$PWD/.mosaic-test-work/pr-metadata-gitea-current packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-metadata-gitea.sh` passed.
+  - `bash -n packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-metadata.sh packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-metadata-gitea.sh` passed.
+  - `shellcheck -x -P . -e SC1090 packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-metadata.sh packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-metadata-gitea.sh` passed.
+
+### Review remediation
+
+- Codex review returned one should-fix: the early-exit test used `chmod 000`, which is not root-safe in container CI.
+- Remediation: changed the stubbed 2xx/cat-failure mode to replace the curl output with a broken symlink, which fails deterministically even as root and still validates cleanup via `rm -f -- "$body_file"`.
+
+### Second review remediation
+
+- Codex review found the 2xx `cat "$body_file"` read could be masked under command substitution semantics because the branch returned 0 unconditionally.
+- Remediation: both authenticated 2xx branches now use `cat "$body_file" || return $?` before returning success.
+- Strengthened the broken-symlink test to require the body-read failure and reject the later `Gitea API returned non-JSON` parse-failure path, so the test verifies the helper-level failure propagation rather than eventual downstream failure.
+
+### Final review gate
+
+- Codex review after remediation: approved (`0 blockers, 0 should-fix, 0 suggestions`).

+# Mosaic tmux Fleet PoC
+
+This directory contains the first durable tmux-backed fleet primitives for the
+Mosaic software-factory model.
+
+The lifecycle model follows the organization-neutral AI Guide playbook
+`mosaicstack/aiguide:playbooks/tmux-fleet.md` (commit `2a0b0b5`): a dedicated
+holder owns the tmux server/socket; agent units join it and stop only their own
+exact-match session.
+
+## Layout
+
+- `mosaic-tmux-holder.service` — user-mode holder that owns the named tmux server.
+- `mosaic-agent@.service` — user-mode template for one reusable agent session.
+- `test-fleet-units.sh` — validates unit syntax and required relationships.
+
+The agent template calls:
+
+```text
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/fleet/start-agent-session.sh <agent-name>
+```
+
+which starts or reuses a tmux session on `MOSAIC_TMUX_SOCKET`.
+
+## Local customization
+
+Per-agent overrides live outside the package in:
+
+```text
+~/.config/mosaic/fleet/agents/<agent>.env
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```dotenv
+MOSAIC_TMUX_SOCKET=mosaic-factory
+MOSAIC_AGENT_RUNTIME=claude
+MOSAIC_AGENT_WORKDIR=$HOME/src/your-project
+# Optional escape hatch for PoC/canary agents:
+# MOSAIC_AGENT_COMMAND=mosaic yolo claude
+```
+
+## Manual canary sequence
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user ~/.config/mosaic/tools/fleet ~/.config/mosaic/fleet/agents
+cp packages/mosaic/framework/systemd/user/mosaic-*.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
+cp packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/start-agent-session.sh ~/.config/mosaic/tools/fleet/
+chmod +x ~/.config/mosaic/tools/fleet/start-agent-session.sh
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+systemctl --user start mosaic-tmux-holder.service
+systemctl --user start mosaic-agent@canary.service
+tmux -L mosaic-factory ls
+```
+
+Do not use `tmux kill-server` without `-L mosaic-factory`; this pattern is meant
+to avoid disturbing the user's default tmux server.

+#       is the common case and MUST count. The earlier version inspected only the

+#       dispatch candidate — re-dispatchable in-flight work (the #546/#547 defect).

+#       (feat/546-x, fix-546) — the weaker heuristic preserved from prior behavior.
+# Bare #N mentions in the BODY are deliberately NOT treated as links: PR bodies
+# routinely name unrelated issues in prose ("relevant to the #538 line of work"),
+# and counting those would wrongly mark live, dispatchable issues as in-flight.
+# Only the closing-keyword form is a commitment to resolve that issue. Requiring
+# `#` to directly follow the keyword also keeps cross-repo `owner/repo#N` forms

+#
+# Problem it solves: orchestrators hand-author a `while true; curl .../repos/1/pipelines/$n
+# ...; sleep` loop for every CI wait. Those loops HARDCODE Woodpecker repo id 1 (only
+# correct for whichever repo happens to be id 1), re-implement URL building with raw
+# curl, and tend to get armed as tight <300s ScheduleWakeup polls (each poll = a full
+# wake+reload+recheck cycle). This encapsulates the loop once, on top of the existing
+# `pipeline-status.sh` wrapper (which resolves repo->id correctly and is instance-aware),
+# so a CI wait becomes a one-liner.
+#
+# Intended use: as the COMMAND of a Monitor / event-driven re-invoke (primary), paired
+# with a single long (>=1500s) timed fallback — NOT as a tight standalone poll.
+#
+# Usage:

+# Durable tmux Fleet Installation Plan
+
+> **For Mosaic/Hermes:** This is an implementation plan for making the tmux-backed Mosaic software-factory fleet durable on this server and reusable in generic Mosaic Stack installs. Keep local USC/Mosaic defaults in profiles; keep framework behavior customizable.
+
+**Goal:** Add a supported Mosaic tmux-fleet installation path: holder-owned tmux server, per-agent reusable sessions, reliable send/reset/status tools, local roster customization, and a documented cutover for this server.
+
+**Architecture:** Mosaic should ship generic tmux fleet primitives in the framework, then layer local rosters through configuration. The holder service owns the tmux socket; each agent service joins the holder-owned server and runs `mosaic yolo <runtime>`. The orchestrator addresses agents through `mosaic agent ...` abstractions so tmux can later be replaced by Matrix-backed agent comms without changing mission flow.
+
+**Reference:** AI Guide `playbooks/tmux-fleet.md` at commit `2a0b0b5` documents the organization-neutral holder-service pattern, exact-match `=<name>` stop targets, and coupled-server cutover/verification sequence. The Stack implementation should treat that as the lifecycle model and keep concrete Mosaic unit/tooling details here.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Bash, tmux, user systemd units, Mosaic CLI/framework installer, JSON/YAML roster config, existing `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/tmux/{agent-send.sh,send-message.sh}`.
+
+---
+
+## Current evidence from this server
+
+Checked 2026-06-19:
+
+- Host: `W-jarvis`
+- User: `jarvis`
+- tmux: `/usr/bin/tmux`, version `3.4`
+- user systemd: active
+- existing tmux sessions: `ai-bma-0`, `dyor-1`, `melaniewoltje-3`, `sage-2`
+- existing Mosaic runtime: `/home/jarvis/.npm-global/bin/mosaic`, version `0.0.31`
+- installed `~/.config/mosaic/tools/tmux` was not present even though the stack repo contains `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/tmux/`
+
+Implication: do not kill the current tmux server casually. This server has active ad-hoc/service sessions. The durable fleet cutover must be planned, with either a separate socket first or a scheduled fleet recycle.
+
+## Design decisions
+
+### 1. Generic framework, local profile
+
+The Mosaic framework should ship:
+
+- systemd unit templates;
+- tmux fleet CLI wrappers;
+- roster schema and examples;
+- install/enable/status/reset commands;
+- docs and verification scripts.
+
+Local environments should provide:
+
+- agent names;
+- runtime per slot (`claude`, `pi`, `codex`, etc.);
+- default role class;
+- launch directory;
+- optional kickstart prompt;
+- model/provider hints;
+- transport selection (`tmux` now, `matrix` later).
+
+Do not bake the USC roster into generic install code. Ship it as an example profile.
+
+### 2. Durable sessions, disposable task context
+
+Session names are durable operational addresses. Task persona is disposable. Reusable worker slots should be reset with `/clear` or `/new` and then receive a fresh task kickstart.
+
+Persistent/semi-persistent personas:
+
+- lead orchestrator;
+- final/adversarial reviewer;
+- architecture/enhancement lane.
+
+Disposable slots:
+
+- implementers;
+- ordinary reviewers;
+- security reviewers unless actively holding a security mission.
+
+### 3. Transport abstraction now
+
+Add commands around tmux instead of calling tmux directly from orchestration:
+
+```bash
+mosaic agent send <agent> --message "..."
+mosaic agent status [--json]
+mosaic agent reset <agent> [--clear|--new]
+mosaic agent roster [--json]
+mosaic fleet install|start|stop|restart|status|verify
+```
+
+Today these call tmux/systemd. Later the same command surface can target Matrix or per-agent gateways.
+
+### 4. Avoid shared-server ownership bug
+
+Use the AI Guide holder pattern:
+
+```text
+mosaic-tmux-holder.service owns the tmux server/socket
+mosaic-agent@<name>.service joins the existing holder-owned socket
+ExecStop kills only session =<name>
+```
+
+Use exact tmux targets: `=<session>`.
+
+### 5. Prefer separate named socket for Mosaic factory
+
+To avoid disturbing existing tmux work, the default fleet should use a named socket such as:
+
+```text
+$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mosaic-factory.tmux
+```
+
+or tmux socket name:
+
+```bash
+tmux -L mosaic-factory ...
+```
+
+This avoids collision with ordinary `tmux ls` sessions. The send tools need socket support.
+

+
+## Phase 0 — Confirm install surfaces
+
+### Task 0.1: Inspect installer copy behavior
+
+**Objective:** Confirm how framework files under `packages/mosaic/framework/` become installed under `~/.config/mosaic/`.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Read: `tools/install.sh`
+- Read: `packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh`
+- Read: `packages/mosaic/src/runtime/install-manifest.ts`
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Verify `packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh` rsyncs `tools/tmux`.
+2. Verify whether npm-packaged installs include `framework/tools/tmux`.
+3. Confirm whether installed hosts should run `mosaic update`, `bash tools/install.sh`, or `packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh` to receive new tmux tools.
+4. Record exact propagation command in docs.
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```bash
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh --help || true
+npm pack --dry-run --json | jq '.[0].files[].path' | grep 'framework/tools/tmux'
+```
+
+Expected: tmux tools are included in installable package or packaging fix is identified.
+
+### Task 0.2: Inspect current yolo launch semantics
+
+**Objective:** Confirm `mosaic yolo claude` and `mosaic yolo pi` accept optional initial prompt text and behave well under systemd/tmux.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Read: `packages/mosaic/src/**`
+- Read: `packages/mosaic/framework/runtime/claude/RUNTIME.md`
+- Read: `packages/mosaic/framework/runtime/pi/RUNTIME.md`
+
+**Verification commands:**
+
+```bash
+mosaic yolo claude --help
+mosaic yolo pi --help
+```
+
+Expected: a systemd `ExecStart` can launch the runtime either with no prompt or with a kickstart prompt file/string.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Framework tmux primitives
+
+### Task 1.1: Add socket support to send tools
+
+**Objective:** Allow `agent-send.sh` and `send-message.sh` to target a named Mosaic tmux socket without affecting default tmux sessions.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/tmux/send-message.sh`
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/tmux/agent-send.sh`
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/tmux/README.md`
+- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/tmux/test-send-message.sh` (new)
+
+**Design:**
+
+Add optional flags:
+
+```bash
+-L SOCKET_NAME      # tmux -L socket name
+-SOCKET PATH        # optional later if needed; avoid conflict with existing -S source label in agent-send
+```
+
+Because `agent-send.sh` already uses `-S` for source label, prefer `-L` for socket name and `-T` or `--socket-path` only if long-option parsing is added.
+
+**Implementation notes:**
+
+- Build a tmux command array:
+
+```bash
+tmux_cmd=(tmux)
+if [ -n "$SOCKET_NAME" ]; then tmux_cmd+=( -L "$SOCKET_NAME" ); fi
+```
+
+- Replace raw `tmux ...` calls with `"${tmux_cmd[@]}" ...`.
+- Pass `-L` through remote ssh invocation.
+- Include socket name in verbose output.
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```bash
+tmux -L mosaic-test new-session -d -s target 'cat'
+packages/mosaic/framework/tools/tmux/send-message.sh -L mosaic-test -t target -m 'hello'
+tmux -L mosaic-test capture-pane -t target -p | grep hello
+tmux -L mosaic-test kill-server
+```
+
+Expected: message lands in the named socket session; default `tmux ls` is untouched.
+
+### Task 1.2: Add exact target validation helper
+
+**Objective:** Prevent accidental prefix targeting in all tmux fleet operations.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Create: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/tmux/_lib.sh`
+- Modify: `send-message.sh`
+- Modify: `agent-send.sh`
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+- For session-only agent names, normalize target to `=<name>` before kill/status/reset operations.
+- For explicit pane targets like `session:window.pane`, allow as advanced path but document the risk.
+
+**Verification:**
+
+Create sessions `agent` and `agent0`; verify killing/resetting `agent` does not affect `agent0`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — systemd unit templates
+
+### Task 2.1: Add holder service template
+
+**Objective:** Ship a user systemd unit template that owns the Mosaic factory tmux server.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Create: `packages/mosaic/framework/systemd/user/mosaic-tmux-holder.service`
+- Create: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/install-user-units.sh`
+
+**Unit shape:**
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Mosaic tmux fleet holder
+Documentation=https://git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/aiguide
+
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+RemainAfterExit=yes
+Environment=MOSAIC_TMUX_SOCKET=mosaic-factory
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/tmux -L ${MOSAIC_TMUX_SOCKET} new-session -d -s _holder 'while true; do sleep 3600; done'
+ExecStop=-/usr/bin/tmux -L ${MOSAIC_TMUX_SOCKET} kill-server
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=default.target
+```
+
+**Important:** systemd environment expansion in `ExecStart` is limited. Verify syntax; if `%E`/environment expansion is awkward, generate concrete units from config instead of relying on dynamic expansion.
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```bash
+systemd-analyze --user verify ~/.config/systemd/user/mosaic-tmux-holder.service
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+systemctl --user start mosaic-tmux-holder.service
+tmux -L mosaic-factory ls | grep _holder
+```
+
+### Task 2.2: Add agent service template
+
+**Objective:** Ship a user systemd template that starts one configured agent slot.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Create: `packages/mosaic/framework/systemd/user/mosaic-agent@.service`
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/install-user-units.sh`
+
+**Unit shape:**
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Mosaic agent session %i
+Requires=mosaic-tmux-holder.service
+After=mosaic-tmux-holder.service
+PartOf=mosaic-tmux-holder.service
+
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+RemainAfterExit=yes
+WorkingDirectory=%h/src
+Environment=MOSAIC_TMUX_SOCKET=mosaic-factory
+ExecStart=/bin/bash -lc 'tmux -L "$MOSAIC_TMUX_SOCKET" new-session -d -s "%i" "mosaic yolo $(mosaic fleet runtime %i)"'
+ExecStop=-/usr/bin/tmux -L mosaic-factory kill-session -t '=%i'
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=default.target
+```
+
+**Design warning:** command substitution in unit files can become brittle. Prefer a generated per-agent EnvironmentFile:
+
+```text
+~/.config/mosaic/fleet/agents/coder0.env
+```
+
+with:
+
+```bash
+MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME=coder0
+MOSAIC_AGENT_RUNTIME=claude
+MOSAIC_AGENT_WORKDIR=/home/jarvis/src
+MOSAIC_TMUX_SOCKET=mosaic-factory
+```
+
+Then `ExecStart` calls a wrapper:
+
+```bash
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/fleet/start-agent-session.sh
+```
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```bash
+systemd-analyze --user verify ~/.config/systemd/user/mosaic-agent@.service
+systemctl --user start mosaic-agent@coder0.service
+tmux -L mosaic-factory has-session -t '=coder0'
+systemctl --user restart mosaic-agent@coder0.service
+```
+
+Expected: holder server PID remains unchanged; only `coder0` session recycles.
+
+### Task 2.3: Add start-agent wrapper
+
+**Objective:** Keep systemd units simple by moving config lookup and launch command construction into a script.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Create: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/start-agent-session.sh`
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+Inputs:
+
+```bash
+start-agent-session.sh <agent-name>
+```
+
+Reads:
+
+```text
+$MOSAIC_HOME/fleet/agents/<agent-name>.env
+```
+
+Starts:
+
+```bash
+tmux -L "$MOSAIC_TMUX_SOCKET" new-session -d -s "$MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME" -c "$MOSAIC_AGENT_WORKDIR" "mosaic yolo $MOSAIC_AGENT_RUNTIME"
+```
+
+Guardrails:
+
+- fail if runtime is empty;
+- fail if workdir does not exist;
+- no duplicate sessions unless `--replace` is passed;
+- exact session names only.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — roster config and CLI wrappers
+
+### Task 3.1: Add fleet config schema and examples
+
+**Objective:** Define customizable install-time roster without hardcoding USC.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Create: `packages/mosaic/framework/fleet/roster.schema.json`
+- Create: `packages/mosaic/framework/fleet/examples/minimal.yaml`
+- Create: `packages/mosaic/framework/fleet/examples/usc-software-factory.yaml`
+- Create: `packages/mosaic/framework/fleet/README.md`
+
+**Schema concepts:**
+
+- `transport`: `tmux` now; `matrix` later.
+- `tmux.socket_name`
+- `tmux.holder_session`
+- `defaults.working_directory`
+- `agents[].name`
+- `agents[].runtime`
+- `agents[].class`
+- `agents[].model_hint`
+- `agents[].persistent_persona`
+- `agents[].reset_between_tasks`
+- `agents[].kickstart_template`
+
+**Verification:**
+
+Use `jq` for JSON examples or add a small Python/YAML validator if YAML is chosen. If no YAML parser is guaranteed, store examples as JSON or support both with Python stdlib JSON first.
+
+### Task 3.2: Add `mosaic fleet` commands
+
+**Objective:** Provide operator-safe commands for install/status/start/stop/restart/verify.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/src/cli.ts` or the current commander entrypoint.
+- Create scripts under: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/`
+
+**Commands:**
+
+```bash
+mosaic fleet init --profile minimal|usc --write
+mosaic fleet install-systemd
+mosaic fleet start [agent]
+mosaic fleet stop [agent]
+mosaic fleet restart [agent]
+mosaic fleet status --json
+mosaic fleet verify
+```
+
+**Implementation path:**
+
+Start by wrapping framework shell scripts from the TypeScript CLI. Do not overbuild a TypeScript service manager in the first pass.
+
+### Task 3.3: Add `mosaic agent` commands
+
+**Objective:** Provide transport-stable per-agent operations.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: Mosaic CLI entrypoint.
+- Create: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/agent/` or reuse `tools/tmux` + `tools/fleet`.
+
+**Commands:**
+
+```bash
+mosaic agent roster [--json]
+mosaic agent status [agent] [--json]
+mosaic agent send <agent> --message "..."
+mosaic agent reset <agent> --clear|--new
+mosaic agent tail <agent> [-n 80]
+```
+
+**Reset behavior:**
+
+For tmux transport, `reset --clear` sends `/clear` then Enter through `send-message.sh`.
+
+For Claude/Pi differences, keep reset command configurable per runtime:
+
+```yaml
+runtimes:
+  claude:
+    reset_command: /clear
+  pi:
+    reset_command: /new
+```
+
+If a runtime does not support a known reset command, restart the service and send a fresh kickstart.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — this-server rollout strategy
+
+### Task 4.1: Install on separate socket first
+
+**Objective:** Prove the holder pattern without disturbing existing sessions.
+
+**Commands after implementation lands locally:**
+
+```bash
+mosaic fleet init --profile minimal --write
+mosaic fleet install-systemd
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+systemctl --user start mosaic-tmux-holder.service
+mosaic fleet verify
+```
+
+Expected:
+
+- `tmux -L mosaic-factory ls` shows `_holder`.
+- normal `tmux ls` still shows existing sessions unchanged.
+
+### Task 4.2: Start one canary agent
+
+**Objective:** Validate single-agent start/restart isolation.
+
+Use a harmless canary first, not the full fleet.
+
+Example roster addition:
+
+```yaml
+- name: canary-pi
+  runtime: pi
+  class: canary
+  working_directory: /home/jarvis/src
+```
+
+Commands:
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user start mosaic-agent@canary-pi.service
+SRV=$(tmux -L mosaic-factory display-message -p '#{pid}')
+systemctl --user restart mosaic-agent@canary-pi.service
+test "$SRV" = "$(tmux -L mosaic-factory display-message -p '#{pid}')"
+tmux -L mosaic-factory ls
+```
+
+Expected: holder PID unchanged; `_holder` remains; `canary-pi` recreated.
+
+### Task 4.3: Configure local Mosaic factory roster
+
+**Objective:** Create the actual local roster for this server after canary passes.
+
+Do not assume USC exact roster is desired here. Create a local profile such as:
+
+```text
+~/.config/mosaic/fleet/roster.yaml
+```
+
+Initial local recommendation:
+
+- `mos-claude` orchestrator
+- `coder0` / `coder1` implementers
+- `rev0` reviewer
+- `secrev0` security reviewer
+- `ultron` final/adversarial reviewer
+
+Scale to full USC-style pool only after resource/budget behavior is understood.
+
+### Task 4.4: Cut over existing ad-hoc tmux sessions only if desired
+
+**Objective:** Avoid data loss.
+
+Existing sessions on this server are not on the proposed `mosaic-factory` socket. They can remain untouched. If we later want them under Mosaic fleet control:
+
+1. list sessions;
+2. capture logs/handoffs;
+3. stop old processes intentionally;
+4. recreate as configured `mosaic-agent@...` services;
+5. verify comms and state.
+
+Do not run `tmux kill-server` on the default socket unless Jason explicitly approves that outage.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — docs and AI Guide backfill
+
+### Task 5.1: Stack docs
+
+**Objective:** Document install and customization for Mosaic Stack users.
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Create: `docs/fleet/tmux-fleet.md` or `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/fleet/README.md`
+- Modify: top-level `README.md` if appropriate.
+
+Must cover:
+
+- what problem holder service solves;
+- install commands;
+- customization file;
+- example rosters;
+- reset/reuse lifecycle;
+- exact-target safety;
+- separate socket default;
+- Matrix migration path.
+
+### Task 5.2: AI Guide docs
+
+**Objective:** Keep generic guidance in AI Guide and implementation details in Stack.
+
+**Files in `mosaicstack/aiguide`:**
+
+- Update: `playbooks/tmux-fleet.md` with named socket, roster/profile, and resettable-slot pattern.
+- Add or update: `reference/agent-role-matrix.md` if PR #5 lands.
+
+Do not put Mosaic install commands as the only path in AI Guide. Present them as one implementation profile.

+## Phase 6 — Matrix migration seam
+
+### Task 6.1: Add transport enum but implement tmux only
+
+**Objective:** Avoid hardcoding tmux into orchestration semantics.
+
+Roster:
+
+```yaml
+transport: tmux
+```
+
+Future:
+
+```yaml
+transport: matrix
+matrix:
+  homeserver: https://matrix.example
+  room_prefix: mosaic-factory
+```
+
+### Task 6.2: Define transport interface docs
+
+**Objective:** Make Matrix plugin work a transport swap, not a rewrite.
+
+Minimum operations:
+
+```text
+send(agent, message)
+reset(agent, mode)
+status(agent)
+tail(agent)
+listAgents()
+```
+
+Any tmux-specific concept must stay below this line.
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+The implementation is complete when:
+
+- `mosaic fleet init` can write a minimal roster.
+- `mosaic fleet install-systemd` installs holder and agent units without hand editing.
+- `mosaic fleet start` starts the holder and configured agents on a named tmux socket.
+- Restarting one `mosaic-agent@name.service` does not change holder server PID or kill sibling sessions.
+- `mosaic agent send` can deliver a message to a named agent with a self-identifying preamble.
+- `mosaic agent reset` can clear/new a reusable slot and send a fresh kickstart.
+- `mosaic fleet verify` proves holder ownership, exact-target safety, and per-agent restart isolation.
+- Existing default tmux sessions on this server are not disturbed by default install.
+- Docs explain generic customization and include USC-style roster only as an example.
+- AI Guide remains generic; Mosaic Stack docs carry the concrete install path.

+## Risks and mitigations
+
+| Risk                                                | Mitigation                                                                        |
+| --------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Killing existing tmux sessions                      | Use named `mosaic-factory` socket; no default `tmux kill-server`.                 |
+| systemd unit quoting/env expansion bugs             | Move logic into shell wrappers; verify with `systemd-analyze --user verify`.      |
+| Runtime reset command mismatch                      | Make reset command runtime-configurable; fallback to service restart + kickstart. |
+| Tool install drift                                  | Ensure npm package includes framework tmux/fleet tools; add packaging test.       |
+| Mosaic-specific assumptions leak into generic guide | Keep USC roster as example profile; AI Guide documents pattern/options.           |
+| Matrix migration blocked by tmux coupling           | Add `mosaic agent` abstraction now; keep tmux details below transport layer.      |
+
+## Suggested first PR split
+
+1. **PR A — tmux tool hardening**
+   - socket support;
+   - exact target helpers;
+   - tests/docs.
+
+2. **PR B — fleet systemd primitives**
+   - holder unit;
+   - agent unit;
+   - start-agent wrapper;
+   - install-user-units script;
+   - verify script.
+
+3. **PR C — roster and CLI**
+   - roster schema/examples;
+   - `mosaic fleet ...` commands;
+   - `mosaic agent ...` commands.
+
+4. **PR D — local rollout and docs**
+   - local roster for this server;
+   - run canary;
+   - document verification evidence;
+   - update AI Guide with generic lessons.
+
+## Immediate next action
+
+Implement PR A first. It is low-risk, improves existing tools, and is required for a safe named-socket rollout on this server.
