| `pnpm preflight` (checkout preflight) | `scripts/preflight.mjs` | ts | Six gate binaries (eslint, husky, prettier, tsc, turbo, vitest) exist and are executable in `node_modules/.bin` (exit 42 if not); no stale `.mosaic-test-work/web-build.lock` (exit 43); `apps/web/.next` is a real directory (not a symlink), every entry owned by the current uid, and its `.mosaic-source-hash` fingerprint + `.mosaic-symlink-manifest` hash match the certified build written by `scripts/build-web.mjs` | `pre-push`; inside `pnpm typecheck` (→ `CI ci.yml#typecheck`, verify-release `typecheck` stage) | QC-1 Checkout integrity | preserve | Blocks a poisoned/stale generated `.next` from faking a green typecheck (the five-month-stale-`.next` class); trust chain is self-contained per-checkout. |
| `pnpm typecheck` | root `package.json` → `turbo run typecheck` | ts | Per-package `tsc --noEmit` (all 20 packages); turbo `typecheck` depends on `^build`, so package builds must succeed first; prefixed by checkout preflight | `CI ci.yml#typecheck`; `pre-push`; verify-release `typecheck` stage; `turbo typecheck` | QC-2 Workspace typecheck | preserve | The single workspace-wide type gate; CI and hooks invoke the same task, no divergent checklist. |
| `pnpm lint` | root `package.json` → `turbo run lint` | ts | Per-package `eslint src` under root `eslint.config.mjs` (ignores `dist`, `.next`, `framework/**`, etc.) | `CI ci.yml#lint`; `pre-push`; verify-release `lint` stage; `turbo lint` | QC-3 Workspace lint | preserve | Same-task invocation from every surface; no second lint definition. |
| `pnpm format:check` | root `package.json` → `prettier --check` | ts | Prettier parse/format equality over `**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,json,md}` minus `.prettierignore` (generated trees, `docs/scratchpads/`, venvs, …) | `CI ci.yml#format`; `pre-push`; verify-release `format` stage | QC-4 Format check | preserve | Single formatter, single ignore list, enforced identically everywhere. |
| `pnpm test` | root `package.json``test` = `test:checkout` && `turbo run test` && `test:installer` | ts | (a) `node --test scripts/*.test.mjs` — checkout-tool units; (b) per-package `vitest run` (mosaic appends the 47-command `test:framework-shell` chain); (c) `tools/install-next-lane.test.sh`; turbo `test` declares DB env vars and depends on `^build` | `CI ci.yml#test` (with `DATABASE_URL` + `db:migrate` first); verify-release `test` stage; `turbo test` | QC-5 Test suite execution | preserve | One composed test command; the chain property (any link red ⇒ step red) is the gate. |
| `pnpm build` | root `package.json` → `turbo run build` | ts | Per-package build (`tsc`/Next) with `^build` dependency and `dist/**` outputs | `publish.yml#build`; verify-release `build` stage; `turbo build` | QC-6 Workspace build | preserve | Publish artifacts derive from the same build task CI verifies. |
| Sanitization gate | `scripts/verify-sanitized.sh` | shell | Built-in self-test first (planted identity/structural/YAML+service fixtures; exit 2 if the regexes or extension coverage break), then: (1) identity denylist grep (`jarvis\|jason\|woltje\|brain.woltje.com\|/home/jwoltje\|\bPDA\b`) over all shipped text files **including**`examples/`; (2) structural grep for private `$HOME/src` defaults in shipped scripts **excluding**`examples/`. Any hit ⇒ exit 1 | `CI ci.yml#sanitization`; verify-release `sanitization` stage | QC-7 Framework sanitization | preserve | Labeled one-time regression guard with a self-test that prevents silent no-op; correctly scoped (identity vs structural) and documented as not a general PII detector. |
| Resident-context budget | `scripts/check-resident-budget.sh` (+ `--self-test`) | shell | Self-test of the comparator, then `wc -l` vs per-file ceilings (CONSTITUTION 120, AGENTS 120, each RUNTIME.md 90); missing file ⇒ fail; over ceiling ⇒ exit 1 | `CI ci.yml#sanitization` (both modes); verify-release `sanitization` stage | QC-8 Resident-context budget | preserve | Caps the container (lines), never the wording — the deliberate anti-drift design (DESIGN §7); CI-enforceable half only, by design. |
| Test-membership enumeration guard (#1017) | `scripts/check-test-enumeration.sh` + `test-enumeration-exclusions.txt` | shell | Parses surface S1 (`packages/mosaic``test:framework-shell` via JSON+shlex) and S2 (every `framework/tools/\*.sh | .py`token in`ci.yml`, comment lines stripped); population = `_test_.sh`under`framework/tools`; FAILS on: suite-shaped file on disk neither enumerated nor signed-excluded; surface naming a path missing on disk (both directions); exclusion without reason / stale / outside population / contradicting enumeration. Proves **naming, not reachability** (stated in-file) | `CI ci.yml#sanitization` (direct line); link [0] of `test:framework-shell` (thus `CI ci.yml#test`); verify-release `sanitization` stage | QC-9 Test-membership enumeration | preserve | Makes silent under-run impossible; invoked from both surfaces it audits so severing the chain cannot silence it. |
| Enumeration-guard needles | `scripts/test-check-test-enumeration.sh` | shell | Needle/control fixtures driven through `--root`: every promised failure mode must trip the guard **on its own words**, plus controls that must pass (null-case defense); covers commented-out ci.yml lines (F1) and line-range parsing (n2b) | `test:framework-shell` → `CI ci.yml#test`; verify-release `test` stage | QC-9 Test-membership enumeration | preserve | Guard-of-the-guard with both polarities; same canonical check by design. |
| Upgrade manifest guard (#791 HARD GATE) | `scripts/test-upgrade-manifest-guard.sh` | shell | Keep-mode `install.sh` upgrade against seeded throwaway `MOSAIC_HOME`: every operator sentinel — including an **unanticipated** one — survives byte-identical with unchanged mtime; framework files still update; retired framework files pruned; matrix run with rsync present AND absent (keep path must be rsync-independent); fail-closed matrix (empty/operator-only/malformed/missing manifest aborts loudly, operator files untouched); operator secret never appears in installer output | `CI ci.yml#upgrade-guard`; verify-release `upgrade-guard` stage | QC-10 Upgrade/install safety | preserve | The operator-data hard gate for the `mosaic update` path; negative controls are load-bearing and documented. |
| Upgrade rollback gate (#791 B1) | `scripts/test-upgrade-rollback.sh` | shell | Mid-sync failure (PATH-shadowing `cp` shim) must trigger snapshot restore: restore message fires, corrupted file restored, target byte-identical to pre-upgrade; control installer with `set -E` stripped must NOT roll back (proves errtrace is load-bearing); plus signal/exit-guard controls | `CI ci.yml#upgrade-guard`; verify-release `upgrade-guard` stage | QC-10 Upgrade/install safety | preserve | Proves the rollback trap actually fires; the `-E`-stripped control keeps Part A honest. |
| Durable-snapshot gate (#791 PR2) | `scripts/test-upgrade-durable-snapshot.sh` | shell | Pre-update snapshot taken before any mutation (0700/0600 perms, secret never logged, retention-pruned); post-sync verify net restores operator files a manifest bug lets the sync touch; CWE-59 symlink-leaf guard proven with a portable cp shim in both polarities (write-through-link must not happen); v1→v2 migration semantics (intended `bin/` removal not healed) | `CI ci.yml#upgrade-guard`; verify-release `upgrade-guard` stage | QC-10 Upgrade/install safety | preserve | Covers tampering and leak vectors the manifest guard cannot see; the shim rationale (busybox vs GNU cp) is documented in-file. |
| Install migration matrix (v2→v3) | `scripts/test-install-migration.sh` | shell | Fixture matrix running the real installer with `MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY=1`: fresh install seeds + stamps version 3; legacy user-edited AGENTS overwritten with `.pre-constitution.bak` preserved (and idempotent); tuned STANDARDS overwritten; operator files (SOUL, credentials) preserved. Mirrors the TS suite `packages/mosaic/src/config/file-adapter.test.ts` — both installers must behave identically | `CI ci.yml#upgrade-guard`; verify-release `upgrade-guard` stage | QC-10 Upgrade/install safety | preserve | Pins the shell/TS installer parity contract; removal would orphan that parity requirement. |
| Enforcement verification probe (bash) | `scripts/verify.sh` | shell | Attempts **real commits** in the target repo: planted type error must produce a commit blocked with `error`; planted `any` must trip `no-explicit-any`; planted lint error must trip `prettier`; gitleaks binary must exist (3a) and detect a planted AWS key via `gitleaks git --pre-commit --staged --redact` (3b). Verdicts are output-grep matches on hook stderr | `local` via installed `mosaic-quality-verify` on scaffolded target projects; **not run in this repo's CI** | QC-20 Downstream enforcement verification | strengthen (review) | Mechanism is genuinely behavioral (stronger than file presence) but verdict logic is grep-on-output and it is unwired here; absorb as the evaluator's enforcement-probe check (the RI-N4 evaluator invokes it or reimplements it) before retiring the shell path. |
| Enforcement verification probe (PowerShell) | `scripts/verify.ps1` | shell | Windows port of `verify.sh`: same planted-commit tests with `$output -match` matching; no gitleaks self-test parity beyond the same checks | `local` (Windows operator); no Windows CI runner exists | QC-20 Downstream enforcement verification | strengthen (review) | A hand-maintained twin of `verify.sh` with no CI coverage — exactly the drift shape the single evaluator removes; retire after the TS evaluator owns the probe. |
| Quality template installer (bash) | `scripts/install.sh` | shell | Copies template files (`.husky/pre-commit` incl. mandatory gitleaks, `.lintstagedrc.js`, `.eslintrc.js`, `tsconfig.json`, `.woodpecker.yml`, `.gitleaks.toml`) into a target project; **warns** (does not verify) about `package.json` snippet merge; no post-condition check | `local` / via `mosaic-quality-apply` | QC-21 Downstream rails scaffolding | strengthen (review) | Duplicates the TS `quality-rails init` scaffolder for a different template set; converging on one scaffolder (with post-scaffold verification) is prerequisite to retiring this path. |
| Quality template installer (PowerShell) | `scripts/install.ps1` | shell | Windows twin of the template copy above | `local` (Windows operator) | QC-21 Downstream rails scaffolding | strengthen (review) | Same twin-drift risk as `verify.ps1`; no runner exercises it. |
| `mosaic-quality-verify` adapter | `framework/tools/_scripts/mosaic-quality-verify` | shell | Thin adapter: validates target dir exists, asserts `verify.sh` present+executable, `cd` target, exec it. No verdict logic of its own | `local` (installed framework bin) | QC-20 Downstream enforcement verification | preserve | Already the thin-adapter shape RI-N4 prescribes for shell surfaces. |
| `mosaic-quality-apply` adapter | `framework/tools/_scripts/mosaic-quality-apply` | shell | Thin adapter: arg validation then exec of quality `install.sh --template … --target …` | `local` (installed framework bin) | QC-21 Downstream rails scaffolding | preserve | Thin adapter, no separate verdict; disposition follows its target script's convergence. |
| Roster schema regression | `scripts/test-roster-schema.py` | shell | jsonschema `Draft202012Validator` over `fleet/roster.schema.json` with valid/invalid connector-kind fixtures (tmux/discord/matrix conditional fields) | **unwired** — not on S1 or S2, not signed-excluded; also outside the enumeration guard's `*.sh` population, so the guard cannot see it | QC-5 Test suite execution | strengthen (review) | A real regression suite that currently runs nowhere; wire it into a CI surface or sign an exclusion — leaving it invisible re-arms the exact gap #1017 closed. |
| Framework shell chain (S1) | `packages/mosaic/package.json``test:framework-shell` | shell | 47-command `&&` chain: enumeration guard + needles, 14 lease-broker/mutator-gate python unitests, `check-runtime-launches.py`, and ~30 framework-tool shell suites (git wrappers, wake, woodpecker, tmux, glpi, orchestrator, `_scripts`). Quality-relevant members rowed separately below | `turbo test` → `CI ci.yml#test`; verify-release `test` stage | QC-5 Test suite execution | preserve | The chain is the execution surface the enumeration guard audits; known residuals: a failing link stops later suites (measured in #1270 — suites after position 44 had not run), and the guard proves naming, not reachability. |
### 1.3 Framework runtime hooks and their harnesses (agent-host enforcement)
| check | location | kind | what it actually verifies | enforcement point | canonical check | disposition | rationale |
| QA edit hook seam | `framework/tools/qa/qa-hook-stdin.sh` (+ `qa-hook-handler.sh`) | shell | PostToolUse stdin hook: extracts edited file from the tool JSON (jq or grep fallback), skips non-JS/TS, then the deps-preflight gate — exits 1 with the legible sentinel `deps not installed — run pnpm install` when `node_modules/.bin` is missing/empty (the #856 false-red class); the downstream handler only files QA remediation **report templates** (no verification logic) | `agent-runtime` (framework `runtime/claude/settings.json` PostToolUse); never CI | QC-16 Agent-runtime edit-time checks | strengthen (review) | The sentinel gate is real enforcement; the handler's report-filing adds no verdict and its name promises more than the code does — evaluator absorption should keep the sentinel, drop the report theater. |
| Typecheck-on-edit hook | `framework/tools/qa/typecheck-hook.sh` | shell | PostToolUse: for edited `.ts/.tsx`, finds nearest `tsconfig.json` and runs `tsc --noEmit`, surfacing errors nonzero to the agent immediately | `agent-runtime` (framework `runtime/claude/settings.json` PostToolUse) | QC-16 Agent-runtime edit-time checks | strengthen (review) | Edit-time duplicate of QC-2 with independent invocation logic; keep behavior, converge invocation through the evaluator adapter. |
| Deps-preflight harness | `framework/tools/qa/test-deps-preflight.sh` | shell | Five assertions against the seam incl. a documented RED control (raw `not found`), sentinel behavior for missing and empty `.bin`, and no-false-positive once populated | `test:framework-shell` → `CI ci.yml#test` | QC-16 Agent-runtime edit-time checks | preserve | Guard-of-the-check with a red control; keeps the sentinel from regressing. |
| Prompt-helper RCE regression | `framework/tools/_scripts/test-mosaic-init-rce.sh` | shell | Sources the prompt helpers and proves a literal `$(touch /tmp/pwned)` answer round-trips verbatim and never executes (no `/tmp/pwned` created) | `test:framework-shell` → `CI ci.yml#test` | QC-5 Test suite execution | preserve | Cheap, load-bearing security regression on the installer's input path. |
| Install-ordering harness (#869 C2) | `framework/tools/_scripts/test-install-ordering-guard.sh` | shell | Drives `mosaic-link-runtime-assets` with a fake `mosaic` on PATH: probe ok ⇒ settings copied + exit 0; probe fail ⇒ exit 1 with degraded outcome but all other runtime files still copied; `--allow-inactive-enforcement` forwarded; no-mosaic-on-PATH ⇒ python3 fallback strips enforcement hooks and exits 1; fallback + flag ⇒ wires as-is, exit 0 | `test:framework-shell` → `CI ci.yml#test` | QC-17 Lease-enforcement wiring safety | preserve | Exercises the shell wiring seam independently of the TS guard's own spec suite (complementary coverage, by design). |
| Fleet-transport harness (#1240) | `framework/tools/_scripts/test-fleet-transport-check.sh` | shell | Extracts the shipped `check_fleet_transport`/`fleet_declared_transport` functions **from the shipped scripts** (fails loud if extraction yields nothing) and drives both implementations (mosaic-doctor + `tools/install.sh`) from one case table | `test:framework-shell` → `CI ci.yml#test` | QC-18 Operator-host drift audit | preserve | The anti-drift harness for the one rule shipped twice; extraction-from-source keeps it from testing a stale copy. |
| Terminal-green contract (RM-61/#1000) | `framework/tools/woodpecker/test-terminal-green-contract.sh` + `verify-terminal-green.py` | shell | Red-first fixtures: pipeline JSON variants (service failure, step failure, cancelled, etc.) must produce the correct terminal-green verdict; controls must pass | `test:framework-shell` → `CI ci.yml#test` | QC-5 Test suite execution | preserve | Keeps the CI-wait wrapper's green-detection honest; a false green here would poison every merge gate that trusts `pr-ci-wait.sh`. |
| Lease-gate launch invariant | `framework/tools/lease-broker/check-runtime-launches.py` | shell | Scans production roots (`packages/`, `apps/`, `plugins/`, `tools/`) across sh/py/ts/yaml suffixes for Claude/Pi process launches **outside** the lease gate; allowlist-based; fails CI on violation | `test:framework-shell` → `CI ci.yml#test` | QC-15 Lease-gate architecture invariant | preserve | The only architectural "no ungated launches" rail; grep+allowlist is the right cost/benefit for this invariant. |
| `quality-rails check` | `packages/quality-rails/src/cli.ts` (`mosaic quality-rails check --project`) | ts | **Expected-file presence only**: loops `expectedFilesForKind` (node: `.eslintrc`, `biome.json`, `.githooks/pre-commit`, `PR-CHECKLIST.md`; python: `pyproject.toml`+hooks+checklist; rust: `rustfmt.toml`+…) and exits 1 listing missing paths. Does not execute any linter, formatter, hook, or scanner | `local` (operator CLI); **no CI wiring in this repo** | QC-19 Downstream rails presence check | strengthen | This is the RI-N4 evaluator seed. Today presence ≠ parity (explicitly called out by RI-N4): it must grow typed verdicts (`passed/failed/blocked/error/not-applicable`), check versioning/subject/reason, digested definitions, and absorb the effective shell probes (QC-20 first). |
| `quality-rails doctor` | `packages/quality-rails/src/cli.ts` | ts | Same presence data as `check`, printed with ok/missing lines; **cannot fail** (no nonzero exit on missing files) | `local` (operator CLI) | QC-19 Downstream rails presence check | strengthen | A doctor that cannot fail is advisory; fold into `check` (or return typed states) when the evaluator lands. |
| `quality-rails init` | `packages/quality-rails/src/cli.ts` + `scaffolder.ts`/`templates.ts` | ts | Scaffolds rails files per detected kind/profile (linters/formatters lists are advisory strings; hooks flag always true); writes files, prints follow-ups — no post-condition verification | `local` (operator CLI) | QC-21 Downstream rails scaffolding | strengthen (review) | Second scaffolding path alongside quality `install.sh` (§1.2); converge on one with post-scaffold verification before retiring either. |
| Lease activation probe (#869 C1, hidden) | `packages/mosaic/src/commands/lease-activation-probe.ts` | ts | Real capability probe, not file presence: resolves the installed mosaic CLI and requires it to advertise the exact `{name, version}` activation contract; all deps injectable; registered as hidden CLI command and consumed by C2/C5 | `local` (hidden CLI + consumed by C2/C5); spec-tested via `lease-activation-probe.spec.ts` in `turbo test` | QC-17 Lease-enforcement wiring safety | preserve | The versioned-contract probe is precisely the fail-closed capability check RI-N2 generalizes; already typed and injectable. |
| Install-ordering guard (#869 C2, hidden) | `packages/mosaic/src/commands/install-ordering-guard.ts` | ts | Decides whether enforcement hook entries are written into the `~/.claude/settings.json` the framework reseed ships: not activatable ⇒ strip hooks + nonzero loud outcome (default); explicit per-invocation `--allow-inactive-enforcement` opt-out wires-with-warning. Never touches the runtime gate's own fail-closed behavior | `installer` (framework reseed via `mosaic-link-runtime-assets`); spec + shell harness coverage in `turbo test` | QC-17 Lease-enforcement wiring safety | preserve | Correct default-deny with an explicit, non-env opt-out; test-locked from both the TS and shell sides. |
| Lease doctor check (#869 C5) | `packages/mosaic/src/commands/lease-doctor-check.ts` | ts | Combines hook-wiring detection in `~/.claude/settings.json` with C1 activatable and C3 broker-supervisor health: wired ∧ (¬activatable ∨ ¬healthy) ⇒ loud `[ERROR]` that forces `mosaic doctor` exit 1 regardless of the bash audit's own exit | `local` (inside `mosaic doctor`); spec coverage in `turbo test` | QC-17 Lease-enforcement wiring safety | preserve | Closes the "bricked host looks green" hole; cannot be masked by the bash script — that composition is the point. |
| `mosaic doctor` (framework drift audit) | `packages/mosaic/src/commands/launch.ts` (`doctor`) + `framework/tools/_scripts/mosaic-doctor` | shell+ts | Bash audit of the installed framework home: ~40 expected files/dirs present; runtime files are copies (not symlinks) matching source (`cmp`) or composed runtime-contract markers; hard-gates block present in AGENTS.md; sequential-thinking MCP configured; fleet transport binary present per roster (warn); legacy symlink trees gone; skills synced — **warn-based, exit 1 only with `--fail-on-warn`**, plus C5's forced error | `local` (operator audit) | QC-18 Operator-host drift audit | preserve | Host-state audit CI cannot see (user files by design, DESIGN §7); advisory exit is the documented contract — do not silently change it. |
| `mosaic gateway doctor` | `packages/mosaic/src/commands/gateway-doctor.ts` | ts | Probes per-service health (PostgreSQL, Valkey, pgvector) via `@mosaicstack/storage`, reports tier and JSON; exit 1 only when at least one **required** service fails (yellow stays 0) | `local` (operator) | QC-18 Operator-host drift audit | preserve | Service health with correct red/yellow exit semantics; JSON mode exists for scripting. |
| `mosaic gateway verify` | `packages/mosaic/src/commands/gateway/verify.ts` | ts | Post-install liveness: daemon meta via HTTP with retries, admin token on file, bootstrap endpoint reachable; aggregated pass/fail | `local`; consumed by `tools/e2e-install-test.sh` | QC-18 Operator-host drift audit | preserve | The first-run proof the installer E2E relies on; retry-aware so startup races don't false-red. |
| `mosaic fleet doctor` | `packages/mosaic/src/commands/fleet-reconciler-command.ts` | ts | Classifies local roster-owned drift (no mutation) from the parsed v2 roster | `local` (operator) | QC-18 Operator-host drift audit | preserve | Dry-run classification is the correct non-mutating audit shape. |
### 1.5 Git hooks (developer machine)
| check | location | kind | what it actually verifies | enforcement point | canonical check | disposition | rationale |
| Pre-commit staged hygiene | `.husky/pre-commit` → `npx lint-staged` (`.lintstagedrc`) | shell | On staged files only: `prettier --write` + `eslint --fix` for ts/tsx/js/jsx; `prettier --write` for json/md/yaml/yml. **Mutating** (fixes and re-stages); commit blocks only if a fixer itself fails | `pre-commit` (every local commit; hooks activated by `install-hooks.mjs` via `core.hooksPath .husky/_`) | QC-13 Staged-change hygiene | preserve | Correct scoped fast gate; note it auto-fixes rather than rejects (deliberate). Gap: no secret scan here — see §3. |
| Pre-push gate | `.husky/pre-push` | shell | `pnpm preflight && pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm format:check` (no test run — documented in AGENTS.md) | `pre-push` | QC-14 Pre-push gate | preserve | Composes QC-1..4 exactly as specified in AGENTS.md; tests intentionally left to CI. |
| Hook installer | `scripts/install-hooks.mjs` (`pnpm prepare`) | ts | Stages husky hooks into a scratch repo first, asserts husky produced its `h` shim, quarantines incomplete previous sets, verifies idempotence via full directory snapshot comparison, then sets `core.hooksPath`; skips cleanly with `HUSKY=0` or no git | `installer` (runs on `pnpm install`) | QC-13 Staged-change hygiene | preserve | Self-verifying wiring for the hook gates — a corrupted half-install cannot silently disable them. |
### 1.6 CI pipeline steps (`.woodpecker/`)
Step-to-probe mapping for container steps: `ci.yml#sanitization` = QC-7+QC-8+QC-9 (rows §1.2, plus `apk add bash` env prep); `ci.yml#upgrade-guard` = QC-10 (rows §1.2, plus `apk add rsync`); `ci.yml#typecheck`/`#lint`/`#format`/`#test` = QC-2/3/4/5 (rows §1.1). Rows below are mechanisms that exist only in a pipeline.
| check | location | kind | what it actually verifies | enforcement point | canonical check | disposition | rationale |
| Frozen install | `ci.yml#install` | pipeline-step | `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --prefer-offline` against the baked ci-base store — lockfile supply integrity; a drifted lockfile fails the build before any gate runs | `CI ci.yml#install` | QC-1 Checkout integrity | preserve | Lockfile-pinned dep resolution is the supply-chain floor under every later gate. |
| Test-step readiness prelude | `ci.yml#test` prologue | pipeline-step | Installs pinned `@earendil-works/[email protected]` (Invariant R suite requires the real binary) + openssl; waits up to 60×1s on `pg_isready` for the `ci-postgres` service and fails fast if it never comes up; runs `db:migrate` before tests | `CI ci.yml#test` | QC-5 Test suite execution | preserve | Fail-fast environment preconditions — a missing service produces a legible failure, not a wall of red tests. |
| Publish verify step (pending RI-1-001) | `publish.yml#verify` (branch `feat/ri-050-publish-gate` @ `46784c8d`, not yet on next) | pipeline-step | (a) Commit identity: fails closed if `CI_COMMIT_SHA` empty, `git rev-parse HEAD` empty, or the two differ; (b) runs the canonical `pnpm verify:release`. **Every publish effect depends on this step; it carries no path filter** | `publish.yml#verify` | QC-11 Terminal release verification | preserve | The RI-N1 exact-commit binding; until it merges, publish steps on next depend on `build` only (see §3 gap 1). |
| Publish error classification | `publish.yml#publish-npm` | pipeline-step | Publishes `@mosaicstack/*` (minus web) and classifies outcome: success, or the **only tolerated failure** = already-published (EPUBLISHCONFLICT / "cannot publish over" / "previously published"); explicit fatal on npm `E404/E401/ENEEDAUTH/ECONNREFUSED/ETIMEDOUT/ENOTFOUND` and on any unrecognized failure (replacing the old ` | | echo` that hid a registry 404) | `publish.yml#publish-npm` (main/tags, path-filtered on `packages/**`) | QC-12 Publish-effect integrity | preserve | Converts silent publish fall-on-floor into loud failure; allowlist-of-one error tolerance is the right shape. |
| Next-lane publish assertions | `publish.yml#publish-next-npm` | pipeline-step | Guards: branch must be `next`, `CI_PIPELINE_NUMBER` required; registry dist-tags JSON must be usable; walks all manifests, strictly parses stable semver, rewrites `X.Y.(Z+1)-next.<N>`; publishes with `--tag next` (never latest); post-publish asserts `npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic@next` resolves to the exact expected version | `publish.yml#publish-next-npm` (push/manual on next) | QC-12 Publish-effect integrity | preserve | Durable prerelease lane with end-to-end resolution proof — the published artifact is verified, not assumed. |
| Image destination policy | `publish.yml#build-gateway` / `#build-appservice` / `#build-web` | pipeline-step | Kaniko builds with destination policy: `next` ⇒ sha-tag only (fatal if a tag event sneaks in); `main` ⇒ sha + `latest`; tag events ⇒ sha + `<tag>`; anything else fatal. Path filters only skip **effects**, never the verify step | `publish.yml#build-*` | QC-12 Publish-effect integrity | preserve | Fail-closed tagging matrix; the exclude-list default-safe design keeps stale images impossible. |
Adjacent pipeline surface (not a probe): `.woodpecker/ci-image.yml` rebuilds the ci-base image on `pnpm-lock.yaml`/`Dockerfile.ci` change with an immutable `lock-<hash>` tag; pipelines consume `:latest`. Recorded for completeness — no code-quality property is checked.
### 1.7 Root installer tooling (`tools/`)
| check | location | kind | what it actually verifies | enforcement point | canonical check | disposition | rationale |
| Next-lane installer test | `tools/install-next-lane.test.sh` (`pnpm test:installer`) | shell | Drives `tools/install.sh --next` with faked `node`/`npm` binaries (no network): Node 20 must be rejected; installs must pin **exact** versions (mutable `@next` forbidden); fast path must not unexpectedly fall back to source; gateway-install failure takes the documented fallback | `turbo`-external tail of `pnpm test` → `CI ci.yml#test` | QC-5 Test suite execution | preserve | Hermetic (shimmed) regression net for the installer lane; runs as part of the standard test command. |
| Clean-container install E2E | `tools/e2e-install-test.sh` | shell | Full first-run flow in a node:22-alpine container: `install.sh --yes` → `mosaic wizard` (non-interactive) → `mosaic gateway install` → `mosaic gateway verify` exit check (with EXPECTED-SKIP if the installed CLI predates `gateway verify`); skips gracefully without Docker | `local` (manual; requires Docker); **not wired in CI** | QC-5 Test suite execution | strengthen (review) | The only end-to-end proof of the install→verify path; currently operator-initiated only — wire into a periodic/manual CI lane or sign its exclusion explicitly. |
| Host installer advisories | `tools/install.sh` (`--check`; `check_fleet_transport`) | shell | `--check` = version comparison only, no install; `check_fleet_transport` warns (non-blocking, by design — tmux is the fleet's dependency, not mosaic's) when the roster-declared transport binary is absent, naming exactly what it blocks; PATH-persistence warnings | `installer` (operator-run) | QC-18 Operator-host drift audit | preserve | Advisory-by-design warnings; the parallel doctor check is drift-tested by §1.3's harness. |
| Canonical terminal verification | `scripts/verify-release.mjs` (`pnpm verify:release`) | ts | One command replaying the full mandatory set as stages — sanitization, upgrade-guard, typecheck (incl. preflight), lint, format, test, build — mirroring `ci.yml` step-for-step; fail-fast on first failing command; requires `bash`+`rsync` on PATH; `--stage <name>` for wiring smoke-tests only | `publish.yml#verify` (pending); `local` (`pnpm verify:release`) | QC-11 Terminal release verification | preserve | The RI-N1 canonical command — CI and publication share one semantic checklist by construction. |
| Verify-parity contract test | `scripts/verify-release.test.mjs` | ts | Parses the real `ci.yml`/`publish.yml`: stage table must match ci.yml step-for-step; every publish-effect step (name `publish*` or image-pushing) must transitively depend on `verify`; commit-identity assertion must be present; `verify` must carry no path filter | `test:checkout` → `CI ci.yml#test` (once merged) | QC-11 Terminal release verification | preserve | Guard-of-the-guard at checkout time — the two surfaces cannot drift apart silently. |
## 2. Canonical check set
The deduplicated checks every row above maps onto. IDs are stable for RI-3-002 to consume.
- **QC-1 Checkout integrity.** Owns: the checkout can run its gates — frozen-lockfile dependency resolution, required gate binaries present, no stale build lock, and the `apps/web/.next` generated-state trust chain (real directory, uid ownership, certified source fingerprint, certified symlink manifest). Implemented by `scripts/preflight.mjs` + frozen install steps.
- **QC-2 Workspace typecheck.** Owns workspace-wide TypeScript soundness: per-package `tsc --noEmit` over built dependencies (`turbo typecheck`). The single definition invoked by CI, pre-push, and terminal verification.
- **QC-3 Workspace lint.** Owns static-analysis policy: per-package ESLint under the root config. One config, one task, every surface.
- **QC-4 Format check.** Owns formatting uniformity: Prettier check with the repo ignore list. (The pre-commit variant additionally fixes; the verdict form is this check.)
- **QC-5 Test suite execution.** Owns execution of all test surfaces: checkout script units (`node --test`), per-package Vitest suites (including the framework shell chain and its python unitests), the installer-lane shim test, and — once wired — `test-roster-schema.py` and container E2E. Also owns guards-of-the-gate that live inside the chain (terminal-green contract, RCE regression).
- **QC-7 Framework sanitization.** Owns the open-source guarantee for the shipped framework package: no operator-identity tokens anywhere (examples included), no private `$HOME` defaults in shipped scripts, with a self-test that keeps the regexes honest.
- **QC-8 Resident-context budget.** Owns the line-count ceilings on framework files injected into every agent's context (Constitution, dispatcher, RUNTIME.md slices) — the CI-enforceable half of the resident-prompt budget.
- **QC-9 Test-membership enumeration.** Owns the property that no test suite can silently fall out of CI: disk population vs parsed enumeration surfaces, both-directions staleness, and signed exclusions with reasons. Includes its needle/control harness.
- **QC-10 Upgrade/install safety.** Owns the #791 family: operator-path byte-identity across keep-mode upgrades (manifest guard), mid-failure rollback (errtrace-proven), durable pre-update snapshot + verify net + CWE-59 leaf guard, and the v2→v3 migration matrix with shell/TS parity.
- **QC-11 Terminal release verification.** Owns the RI-N1 exact-commit binding: commit-identity assertion plus one canonical command (`pnpm verify:release`) replaying the complete mandatory set, with every publish effect depending on it; plus the checkout-time parity/DAG contract test that keeps pipeline and command in sync.
- **QC-13 Staged-change hygiene.** Owns commit-time hygiene on staged files (prettier/eslint fix-and-restage) and the self-verifying hook wiring that guarantees the gates are actually installed.
- **QC-14 Pre-push gate.** Owns the local push composition: preflight + typecheck + lint + format:check (tests deliberately deferred to CI).
- **QC-15 Lease-gate architecture invariant.** Owns "no ungated runtime launches in production code": the scan + allowlist over `packages/`, `apps/`, `plugins/`, `tools/`.
- **QC-16 Agent-runtime edit-time checks.** Owns edit-time feedback on agent hosts: the deps-preflight legibility sentinel and typecheck-on-edit, plus their regression harnesses.
- **QC-17 Lease-enforcement wiring safety.** Owns the #869 C1/C2/C5 trio: activation capability probe (versioned contract), enforcement-hook wiring gate (default-deny with explicit opt-out), and the doctor check that surfaces a bricked host — with their shell/TS harnesses.
- **QC-18 Operator-host drift audit.** Owns host-state health CI cannot see: `mosaic doctor` drift audit (+ fleet transport, both implementations), `fleet doctor` roster classification, `gateway doctor`/`gateway verify` service health, and installer advisories. Advisory exits are part of the contract.
- **QC-19 Downstream rails presence check.** Owns "does a scaffolded project still carry its rails files" — today the TS `quality-rails check/doctor` presence loop; per RI-N4 this is the seed that must become the typed evaluator (presence alone is explicitly not parity).
- **QC-20 Downstream enforcement verification.** Owns "do the rails actually block" on scaffolded projects: the behavioral planted-commit probe (type error, `any`, lint, gitleaks secret) currently in `verify.sh`/`verify.ps1` behind the `mosaic-quality-verify` adapter.
- **QC-21 Downstream rails scaffolding.** Owns putting rails files into a target project: the shell template installer (+ PowerShell twin) and the TS `quality-rails init` scaffolder — currently two paths that must converge.
## 3. Coverage gaps
Enforced nowhere but implied, or named in docs/tooling but not wired:
1.**Publication not yet bound to verification on `next`.** At this base (`8199261c`), `publish.yml` publish steps depend on `build` only; the `verify` step and `scripts/verify-release.mjs` exist on `feat/ri-050-publish-gate` (`46784c8d`) but are not merged. Until RI-1-001 lands, AC-RI-1's negative control cannot hold on the real pipeline.
2.**Playwright E2E unwired.**`apps/web` ships `test:e2e` (`playwright test`) with real suites (`admin/auth/chat/navigation.spec.ts`); neither `pnpm test` nor any CI step invokes it. The web UI's user flows are verified only when an operator runs them manually.
3.**No secret scanning on this repo.** The framework's own template pre-commit makes gitleaks **required**, and `verify.sh` proves detection with a planted key — but this repository's `.husky/pre-commit` (lint-staged only) and CI run no secret scan. The repo ships the control it does not use.
4.**No dependency audit.** The quality `.woodpecker.yml` templates and `docs/CI-SETUP.md` specify `npm audit --audit-level=high` as a pipeline stage; nothing equivalent runs for this repo.
5.**No coverage thresholds.** Templates enforce 80% Jest coverage thresholds; this repo's Vitest configs collect coverage with no thresholds — coverage is measured nowhere and enforced nowhere.
6.**`test-roster-schema.py` invisible.** A real jsonschema regression suite wired to no surface and invisible to the enumeration guard (its population is `*.sh`; the suite is `.py`). Either enumerate it or sign an exclusion — silence here is the #1017 defect shape.
7.**Presence-checker expectations ≠ this repo.**`quality-rails check` expects `.eslintrc`, `biome.json`, `.githooks/pre-commit`, `PR-CHECKLIST.md` for node projects — none describe this monorepo (husky, flat eslint config, no biome, no PR-CHECKLIST.md). The evaluator's check set must be per-subject (versioned, digested), not one global file list.
8.**Chain-ordering residual (documented).**`test:framework-shell` is one `&&` chain: a failing link skips every later suite while the step still fails (measured in #1270 — four suites after position 44 had not run since a prior merge). The enumeration guard proves naming, not reachability; both residuals are in-file documented but structurally unfixed.
9.**Signed-exclusion burndown open.** 16 signed exclusions remain in `test-enumeration-exclusions.txt`; several are "unmeasured in CI image" or blocked on missing CI tooling (tmux, setsid) — tracked under #1017/#1271. Each is an enforcement promise deferred, not delivered.
10.**Windows twins unexercised.**`verify.ps1`, `install.ps1`, `mosaic-doctor.ps1` have no runner anywhere (no Windows CI); behavioral drift from their bash twins is undetectable by construction.
11.**QA hook name vs behavior.**`qa-hook-handler.sh` files remediation report templates but performs no verification; the seam's actual gate value is only the deps-preflight sentinel. Anything relying on "QA automation hook" as a check is relying on report-filing.
12.**Two test paths, one gated.** CI runs tests against ci-postgres (`DATABASE_URL` set); the local PGlite path is the documented default (AGENTS.md) until KBN-101-02/101-05. Only the CI path is enforced by pipeline.
| preserve | 43 | Every canonical owner (QC-1..QC-18) plus correct guards-of-the-guard and thin adapters: all of §1.1, the CI-invoked framework probes and adapters in §1.2, all of §1.3, the C1/C2/C5 trio and doctors in §1.4, all of §1.5, all pipeline-only steps in §1.6, §1.7 rows 1 and 3, and §1.8. |
| retire | 0 | None meet the bar: RI-N4 requires effective shell probes be **absorbed before** their paths retire, and no absorption exists yet. The `strengthen (review)` rows are the retirement candidates for RI-3-002 once the evaluator owns their behavior. |
# 2026-08-17 — Fleet identity, comms delivery, and the ~/.mosaic tree (continuation record)
> **Status:** active continuation record | **Owner:** Jason (rulings) / fleet (delivery) | **Created:** 2026-08-17, sb-it-1-dt session with Jarvis (jarvis-brain)
> **Audience:** the homelab agents continuing this effort tonight. Read this whole file before acting; it supersedes nothing but preserves structure and decisions that must not be lost.
---
## Why this exists
A session on sb-it-1-dt (2026-08-17) produced three architecture decisions (two awaiting Jason's ruling), one incident postmortem (#1295), interim guardrail edits in the user-owned `~/.mosaic/` contract tree, and one new tool (`ensure-watcher.sh`). The work spans jarvis-brain (P0, not retained) and this repo (the product). **This file is the stack-side anchor so continuation does not depend on jarvis-brain surviving.**
## 1. The `~/.mosaic` tree model — as-built, preserve this structure
Three-tree split (this is design intent, not accident; keep it through all framework work):
As-built inventory of `~/.mosaic` on sb-it-1-dt (2026-08-17):
- **Contract core:** `CONSTITUTION.md` (L0 law), `AGENTS.md` (dispatcher + guide router + Fleet Comms Watcher requirement), `SOUL.md` (generic base for ALL fleet agents, zero persona — includes the new **Fleet Boundaries** section), `STANDARDS.md` (universal standards — includes new **session identity** + **comms watcher hygiene** sections), `SYSTEM.md` (pure communication contract, byte-identical to jarvis-brain's prompt-testing `sr_opus_5_system_prompt.md`), `USER.md`, `TOOLS.md`.
- Related but outside the tree: watcher units at `~/.config/systemd/user/<agent>-comms-watcher.service`; watcher seen-state at `~/.local/state/comms-watcher-<agent>/`.
## 2. Decisions register (2026-08-17 session)
Full strict records live in jarvis-brain `docs/decisions/mosaic-stack/` (render on its dashboard); both are **Pending Jason's ruling**. Summaries so the content survives P0:
- **MOSAIC-D-001 — SYSTEM.md as canonical harness system prompt.** Static core (Constitution+AGENTS+USER+overlays) in one tracked file; launcher renders dynamic tail (mission/PRD/fleet/persona). Delivery: `--append-system-prompt` (repeatable) for pi/claude; symlinked core file for codex (`$CODEX_HOME/instructions.md`) and opencode (`AGENTS.md`); their dynamic tail via initial prompt (needs live verification). Static-first order is the cache win. `SYSTEM.md` in `~/.mosaic` today is the communication-contract file — D-001's SYSTEM.md is the broader composition; naming to reconcile at implementation.
- **MOSAIC-D-002 — per-agent harness homes + mechanical profiles.** Launch with targeted config-dir env vars (e.g. `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR=~/.mosaic/fleet/agents/<name>/pi`), NOT literal HOME. SOUL.md identity mechanically generated from roster (single writer; kills the hand-copy drift measured in `agents/vision/SOUL.md` on jarvis-brain: declared Jarvis, answered Vision). Composes: SYSTEM core → per-agent SOUL → dynamic tail. `MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME` stays load-bearing for comms.
- **Comms delivery tooling belongs in the STACK framework, not jarvis-brain** (decided in discussion; supersedes the interim placement). jarvis-brain keeps only the transport _data_ (`comms/` tree) while it lives. Agents launch from their own repos (terra from `~/src/stack` etc.) — delivery is transport-repo-relative, so this works; but every installed watcher unit's ExecStart currently points into `~/src/jarvis-brain/scripts/` — that dependency is the P0 trap to remove. Migration = move tools + regenerate units, in one step.
- **Watcher provisioning is instantiation duty, never running-agent duty.** Interim landed as jarvis-brain `scripts/comms/ensure-watcher.sh` (idempotent ensure + `--status` boot check + interim identity warnings: missing target session, pane `MOSAIC_AGENT_NAME` mismatch via `/proc/<child>/environ`, bare-runtime NOTE). Framework move: fold into `mosaic agent --new` + fleet launch + `mosaic doctor` drift check.
`https://git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/issues/1295` — docs-seat incident: cwd-keyed session files served three lives (dev chat → goals seat → 22 watcher injections into a wedged process); name-based watcher delivery with no identity verification; wedge after pi 0.84.1→0.84.2 update passes every liveness instrument. Proposed fixes enumerated there; provisioning follow-up in comment ID 23027.
## 4. Open work queue (suggested sequence)
1.**Comms tooling migration PR** (lane `next`): move `comms-watcher.sh`, `install-watcher.sh`, `ensure-watcher.sh` into the framework tree → deploy `~/.config/mosaic/tools/comms/`; regenerate existing units' ExecStart to framework paths (one-command sweep); keep `COMMS_WATCH_REPO` per-host config (points at a brain checkout until the queue transport lands). Reference: jarvis-brain commit `701c353b1`.
2.**Ensure-on-instantiation**: `mosaic agent --new` / fleet launch call ensure semantics; `mosaic doctor` gains the drift check (`--status --all` semantics + `fred`'s hand-written unit as the known drift case; also note daphne/docs/happy/pepper/sanity/tiny/fargo currently have no watcher — cover or consciously exempt).
3.**MOSAIC-D-002 implementation** (after ruling): per-agent homes via targeted env vars; roster-generated SOUL.md single-writer; extend the existing `*.env.generated` pattern; launch ledger keeps `config_home` audit.
4.**MOSAIC-D-001 implementation** (after ruling): SYSTEM.md sourcing + per-harness delivery + `compose-contract` becomes render-core+tail with drift check; bench cache-ordering before/after (jarvis-brain `domains/software-dev/mosaic-stack/prompt-testing` has the bench).
5.**Queue transport + forced separation** (longer term): supersedes watcher path; identity-verification and wedge-detection remain valid regardless of transport.
6.**Docs inheritance**: jarvis-brain AGENTS.md's durable comms guidance (E7 pi-glyph delivery gotchas, capture-pane rules, comms protocol) must be inherited into stack docs before P0 retirement.
## 5. Rules for tonight's agents
- Lane: **`next`** only; nothing to `main` without Jason (standing ruling).
- Attribution caveat #1280: Gitea/git identity from this host may misattribute (issue #1295 showed as created by `@mos-dt-0`); prefer per-invocation `git -c user.name=<seat>` and verify what the remote recorded.
- Do not delete `sb-it-1-dt:docs]` (untracked file at repo root) — it is cited fleet-wide as incident evidence.
- Edit user contracts in `~/.mosaic/`, never the templates in `~/.config/mosaic/`.
- Do not restart other fleet seats unilaterally (goals/scrappy/sanity restart decisions are fred's/Jason's per the docs-seat report).
