morgana: row 205a build (sage-2288): trail and replies hide other users' thread messages from owner, reader and tester; hidden answers as unknown; #readable owner-only; design d2 rulings

Doc-only commit after the row 254 landing. The library README now says
that a sync outlasting the server's 120-second hold gets request-timeout
and still finishes (Dewey N1, #1759 comment 30173; server.mjs sets the
120 s socket timeout and the broker promise runs on). DEFERRED records
Dewey N2: library-mapping-invalid, library-remote-invalid,
library-state-invalid and library-git still map to 502 until the Console
library routes row decides them. No test reads either file's content.

-## Changed assertions (D3 item 4, N4)
-
-Listed here as the build changes them.
-
-- `packages/business/tests/instance-settings.test.mjs:53, :67, :72`: the row 165 read and add views
-  gain `kept: false` (D1, the read gains `kept` per instance). No other field changed.
-- `packages/business/tests/instance-settings.test.mjs:70` (`added.restart` true to false) and `:91`
-  (`redefined.restart` true to false): the writer no longer asks for a restart. The bus decides,
-  after its reload (D3 items 2-3). The two test names say so.
-- `packages/cli/tests/instances.test.mjs`: `setup` boots the bus from the file through `bootConfig`, as
-  the unit does, instead of a one-role stub. The add test (T1) now expects the "no restart" line and
-  binds `sec-1` on the running bus. The `RESTART_NEEDED` text pins moved, unchanged, to a new test that
-  boots the old stub (`setup(t, { stub: true })`). Its coder has no credential references and the
-  file's has, so the bus doesn't reload, prints `RESTART_NEEDED` and doesn't bind `sec-1` (D3 item 3).
-- `packages/webui/tests/instances.test.mjs:25`: the fake writer's default answer is `restart: false`,
-  the usual answer now. The real-broker test boots through `bootConfig` and expects `restart: false`
-  (`:71`) and the log line `done restart=false` (`:74`). The answer-shape rows at `:140-145` keep
-  `restart: true`. Each row tests another field, or `restart: 'yes'`, so the value is not what they
-  check.
-- `packages/bus/tests/instances-verb.test.mjs` T12 (S2c): the human delete now answers `{request}`
-  where S2b refused `invalid-request`. The stub writer answers `instances.check` with the revision,
-  and the calls list gains that one check, actor `jason`. Nothing else in the test changed.
-- `packages/bus/tests/tester-writes.test.mjs:19` (row 175 pin): TESTER_VERBS gains `instance.launch`,
-  `instance.end` and `instance.request` (D4.1). TESTER_ORGANIZATION_VERBS is unchanged.
-- `packages/bus/tests/instances-verb.test.mjs:78` keeps `restart: true`, now for a D3 item 3 reason:
-  its boot copy is a stub without the file's credential references. A comment there says so.
-  `reload.test.mjs` covers the reload from a file boot.
-- `packages/bus/tests/hard-waits.test.mjs:38` (S2d): the every-hard-wait loop gives `role.hire` and
-  `role.fire` a target and `arguments`, which their raise now requires (D2.1). The class and route it
-  checks are unchanged.
-- S2e (PRD 1.7 REQ-COS-3) takes back the S2d entry above. `role.hire` and `role.fire` left the hard
-  waits, so `packages/bus/tests/hard-waits.test.mjs` and `packages/business/tests/hard-waits.test.mjs`
-  drop them from WAITS, and the bus file's every-hard-wait loop is back to its S2c form. The business
-  file gains a test that both are routed and not in GATED_ONLY.
-- `packages/bus/tests/reload.test.mjs` (S2e): its hard-wait example used `role.hire`, now routed. It
-  uses `spend`. The check is unchanged.
-- `packages/business/tests/chief-of-staff.test.mjs` (S2e): the chief's pinned authority and the test
-  name gain `role.hire` and `role.fire`. `packages/business/tests/role.test.mjs` gains the check that
-  no other shipped role holds either.
-- `packages/harness/tests/tools.test.mjs` and `packages/harness/tests/bundle.test.mjs` (S2e): the
-  chief's pinned tool lists gain `hire` and `fire`. Every held action needs a typed tool
-  (`untypedActions`), so the tools come forward from S4.
-- `packages/bus/tests/chief-of-staff.test.mjs` (S2e): the S2d decision-form tests are rewritten to the
-  reason form (below). The S2d raise tests with `arguments` are gone with the key.
-- `packages/bus/tests/lifecycle-verbs.test.mjs` V5 retry (S3a): `lifecycleDelete` on a retry now
-  answers `{transaction, retry: true}` with the failed delete's transaction, where S2c answered
-  `{transaction: null, retry: true}`. The launcher needs it to name `.retired/I-<transaction>`. The
-  test checks the value and that the retry still neither checks nor writes the file.
-- `packages/harness/tests/tools.test.mjs:48` (S4): the launch tool's `instance` was an enum of the
-  start-time listing. It is now `{type: "string", description, pattern: ID_PATTERN.source}`, and the
-  listing moves to the tool description, which the test matches. `:107` (the pm test's chief check)
-  asserts there is no enum and the description names `chief.launch.instances`.
-- `packages/business/tests/chief-of-staff.test.mjs` (S4): the contract test gains a match on the new
-  sentence that a hire is listed for `launch` at once but runs only after the human sets its route.
-
-- `packages/webui/tests/browser.test.mjs:21-22` (S5): the page's script list pins the scripts in
-  order. It now has `/agents.js` between `/chat.js` and `/bus.js`, and the comment names row 194.
-
-## S1 notes
-
-- Tests: `tests/lifecycle-settings.test.mjs` (new) holds T6's business part (V5 order, last listed,
-  clean delete, retired refusals for add and hire), T7 (V6) and the writer's hire and fire (D2.2).
-  T8c is in `role.test.mjs`, T17 in `business.test.mjs`.
-- `deleteRefusal`'s entry half (`entry.tracker`, `entry.credentials`) follows V5's wording "holds
-  credentials or a tracker bot". In a file that validates it is the same as the definition check: a
-  definition with no credential refuses an entry tracker or credentials at load. So no test reaches it
-  alone, and no mutant is listed for it.
-- END_PROTECTED is `assistant` only. The chief's own instance refuses delete and fire as
-  `organization-instance-referenced` (launch.by), not as protected.
-- The writer refuses an `assistant` hire `organization-definition-refused` through `definitionFor`, as
-  row 165's add does.
-- PRD draft: 69544f342 (sha256 c1f52d98…), sage-1395: adding to the fixed list is a PRD change.
-
-## S2a notes (D3 live reload)
-
-- `Broker.reloadBusiness(id, doc)` runs the boot check (`checkBusiness`, moved out of the
-  constructor unchanged) on a clone, then refuses a changed `human` and swaps the document in.
-- The runtime reloads after every committed write, through the chain `bootConfig` uses
-  (`loadBusiness`, `resolveInstance` with `organization.system`, `busBusiness`). Then `limits.refresh`
-  runs. `instances.set` answers `restart: !live`. Any other verb name now throws `invalid-request`
-  where it used to fall through to `plugins.set`.
-- D3 item 3 check: a role in the boot copy must keep its credential references and tracker bot. A role
-  not in the boot copy must have neither. The tracker sync block must match. Otherwise no reload and
-  `restart: true`. The first version compared one fingerprint over all roles, so every create failed
-  it. T14's create test caught that.
-- Consumers checked against item 3 (`runtime.mjs` startBroker):
-  - The Credentials store takes the role and sync references and the project roots it protects at
-    start. The tasks adapter takes the bots at start. All of these are compared.
-  - Limits read `settings.current` at each ask. The human proof reads `human` from the boot copy,
-    and `reloadBusiness` refuses a changed human, so the two agree.
-  - Web grants: the broker reads `roles.<I>.web` from its own document (`broker.mjs:1545`), so a
-    reload carries the grant. A hireable definition has no `web` tool.
-  - Usage loads its `usage-source` plug-ins from `b.plugins` at start. That was already so before
-    this row (`plugins.set` never restarted them). A reload doesn't change it, and it isn't compared.
-- Instance-running: `instances.set` op change with a `definition` on a declared instance with a
-  claim holder (or thread holders for a thread instance) refuses `instance-running` before the
-  writer. A vars or launch change still passes.
-- Tests: `packages/bus/tests/reload.test.mjs` (T14, 6 tests).
-
-## S2b notes (veto.set, the D4 hook, keep checks)
-
-- `LIFECYCLE_HUMAN_VERBS` (exported from `broker.mjs`) has one entry per verb and per `instances.set`
-  op: `instance.launch`, `instance.end`, `instance.regenerate`, `veto.set`, `instances.set add`,
-  `instances.set change`, `instances.set delete`. Choice: `#mayHuman(s, verb, target)` refuses
-  `human-required` for an entry missing from the list. So the list and the calls can't drift apart,
-  and T12 shows the hook got the exact entry: each listed human call passes. The tradeoff is that a
-  new human verb has to join the list before it works, which is what row 193 needs anyway.
-- `bindHuman` already refuses any human but the owner, so the hook's owner check can't fail on any
-  path today. It is the body row 193 replaces.
-- M46 (`veto.set` skips `#human`) is equivalent while the generic check runs first: no session
-  without `s.human` gets past `human-required`, and only `bindHuman` sets `s.human`, always with
-  `via: 'cli'` and `outsideAgent: true`. T18 shows the refusal. `#human` stays as the design asks.
-- `instances.set` now checks `op` in the broker (`add`, `change`, `delete`, else `invalid-request`).
-  The tester's delete refuses `tester-refused` (B6). Until S2c records the delete request, a human
-  delete refuses `invalid-request` after the hook. Without that, the writer's `set` op `delete` would
-  commit with no running or starting check and no workspace rename.
-- Keep: the `role.revoke` reason branch refuses `instance-kept` for any caller, not only the chief.
-  Only the chief holds `role.end` today, so this is the same set. A caller with `role.end` added
-  later is held to the forbid too. The `organization.set` check refuses when any key of
-  `args.instances` is kept, before the writer and before the grant is spent. The human's `limits.set`
-  isn't checked: the human owns the forbid.
-- T13 needed no code. `organization.set` and `limits.set` take only `ORGANIZATION_KEYS`, and
-  `limits` and `models` write only `launch.limits` and `launch.models`.
-- Tests: `chief-of-staff.test.mjs` T10 (reason end, decision end, model write), T13 and T18's
-  veto.set and instances.set paths on a stub writer. T18's file-bytes check and its hire and fire
-  cases come with S2d. `instances-verb.test.mjs` T12 (sessions, tester, hook). `reload.test.mjs`
-  gains veto.set.
-
-## S2c notes (lifecycle requests, terminate, delete)
-
-- A request is an `action.allowed` event, action `lifecycle.launch`, `.regenerate`, `.delete` or
-  `.end`, body `{action, request, via, by, ...}`. The human's also gets `human.input {kind: 'admin'}`.
-  The tester's gets none. Steps are `lifecycle.taken`, `lifecycle.done {request, run?, transaction?,
-  refusal?}` and `lifecycle.cancelled {request, by}`, with no role or run in the session. No new
-  table or event kind, so no migration.
-- Host ops for the launcher pass (S3), each in LAUNCH_OPS: `lifecycleRequests`, `lifecycleTake`,
-  `lifecycleDelete`, `lifecycleDone`. Choice: `lifecycleDelete` commits through the bus's own
-  organization callback, so the D3 reload runs after it as after any other write. The tradeoff is
-  one more host op instead of the launcher calling the writer.
-- The take re-checks: request-expired (60 s, `LIFECYCLE_REQUEST_MS`), then launch-revoked and
-  instance-retired for launch and regenerate only, then tester-off for a tester request. A refused
-  take writes `lifecycle.done` with the refusal, so the request closes. `lifecycle.end` never
-  expires: the runs it names still need the signal.
-- instance-starting counts any taken request of I, and any open one still under 60 s, delete
-  included. An open request past 60 s can only close request-expired, so it doesn't count. The end
-  request doesn't count.
-- Delete order at the verb (V5): keys and identifier, the 64-hex revision, the retired-name retry
-  gate, then `instances.check` (the writer's plan and validation, no write). A named organization
-  refusal fails at once. A BusinessError (the last-listed refusal) is held until instance-running
-  and instance-starting have passed, then answers invalid-request. Then revision-conflict, then the
-  request with `{revision}`. `lifecycleDelete` checks running and starting again after the take
-  (other requests only), then calls `instances.set` op delete with actor = the request's `by`.
-- Retry: a retired name that isn't in roles deletes again only when its last delete closed
-  `workspace-rename-failed`. The request carries `retry: true`, and `lifecycleDelete` answers
-  `{transaction: null, retry: true}` with no check and no write. The launcher (S3) retries the rename.
-- `lifecycleDone` carries `transaction`, so the delete's done names the commit the rename used.
-- Terminate (V3): every claim holder of I, or every thread holder for a thread instance, is revoked
-  with the reason (default "ended by the human" or "ended by the tester"). The answer names the held
-  runs plus the bound runs of I not yet ended, cancels open requests of I and lists taken ones. With
-  none of these it refuses not-held. The tester ends only its own threads and cancels only its own
-  requests.
-- The tester's business scope needs no check: its cap is bound to one business (M19), so another
-  business's instance answers unknown-role. `instance.request` needs no tester-file check: a tester
-  reads only requests it made.
-- The tester switch is read through a `testerOn` option. The runtime reads `bus.tester` from the
-  live file through `settings.current`, so a change applies with no restart. Anything but `true`,
-  or a read error, is off.
-- Refactor: the organization error mapping moved into `#organizationFail(e, verb)`, shared by the
-  organization verbs and `lifecycleDelete`. Same mapping as before.
-- Deferred: the halted checks (S6, row 191) and W-N1 (S2d with fire).
-- Tests: `packages/bus/tests/lifecycle-verbs.test.mjs` (12 tests: T12 lifecycle part, T12a, V2-V5,
-  the take and the runtime delete end to end). Probe mutants on the expiry, starting (verb and
-  take), the take's expiry and tester checks, the retry gate, the tester's own-request read and
-  not-held all died. They are not the M-list run.
-
-## S2d notes (the chief's hire and fire, W-N1)
-
-- Still hard waits (PRD 1.6). Under PRD 1.7 they move to ROUTED in S2e, with the reason form.
-- The raise: `decision.raise` takes `arguments`, only for `role.hire` (`{name, definition, vars?}`)
-  or `role.fire` (`{name, reason}`), and requires it for those. `target` must equal
-  `arguments.name`. The raise event records it, and the human's decision view shows it under
-  `authorization.arguments`. The shape checks are the call's (`#hireFireArgs`): identifiers, not
-  `human` or `tester`, vars only `model` and `limits.*`, reason 1-500 characters.
-- The call: `instance.hire {name, definition, vars?, decision}` and `instance.fire {name, reason,
-  decision}`, from a chief session only. Order: tester-refused, read-only and agent-required
-  (`#agent`), keys, `role-not-chief` (launch.by), not-configured, decision-mismatch for a decision of
-  another business, `#checkAuthority`, the call's arguments against the raise's (canonical JSON,
-  decision-mismatch), decision-consumed, instance-kept. The writer gets the chief as actor
-  (`chief-of-staff.chief`) and the context `{instance, run, decision}`, which changes.jsonl records.
-- Hire: `#hireable` loads the definition and the chief's own role file through the new `roleFile`
-  option (the runtime passes `loadRole(rolesDir, name)`). Version 1, any action off HIRE_ALLOWED
-  (`unhireableAction`), not on the chief's `hireable` list, on `noHire` or no file all refuse
-  definition-not-hireable before the writer. Then the writer's hire, then the consume with
-  `{transaction}`. Without `roleFile` a hire refuses not-configured.
-- Fire, before step A: instance-kept, unknown-role, organization-definition-refused (END_PROTECTED),
-  organization-instance-referenced (launch.by), and invalid-request for the last listed name.
-  Step A, one transaction: revoke the claims with the decision and reason, cancel open requests,
-  list taken ones, write `lifecycle.end {via: 'chief', by, runs, reason, kill: true}` when runs exist,
-  and `fire.stopped {cites, request}`. Step B: the writer's fire (already delisted is done). Step C,
-  one transaction: the consume with `{reason, transaction}` and `fire.done {cites, transaction}`.
-- The fire's own events cite the decision under `cites`, not `decision`, so `#spent` counts only the
-  consume. A failure at B or C leaves the decision unspent, so the repeat runs.
-- Choice: a repeat after a failed B or C asks for the kill again for any run of I still bound. A
-  revoked run stays bound until the launcher reports it ended, and a second signal to a dead
-  process does nothing. The tradeoff is a duplicate `lifecycle.end` against a run that may outlive
-  the first one.
-- W-N1 `#firing`: a `fire.stopped` with no `fire.done` for the same `cites`. It refuses
-  instance-firing at the human and tester verbs (`#launchable`), at the take of a launch or
-  regenerate (`#takeRefusal`), and at the chief's `role.launch` (`#authorityFor`).
-- `#organizationFail` passes the writer's own definition-not-hireable and instance-kept through by
-  name for hire and fire. They come from the file as it stands, after the broker's checks passed.
-- `lifecycleView` shows `kill: true` when the request carries it.
-- Deferred: the kill escalation in the launcher (S3, S6).
-- Tests: `packages/bus/tests/chief-of-staff.test.mjs`, 16 new (T8 x5, T8a, T8b x2, T9 x2, T9c x2,
-  T10, T18, the runtime end to end, W-N1 at the take). 39 in the file pass. Probe mutants on 21
-  lines (the arguments check, each W-N1 site, M60's version check, keep, the other-business check,
-  last-listed, kill, the chief's list, noHire, role-not-chief, the pre-check consume, both consumes'
-  events, the raise's argument rules, the revoke, the cancel, the pass-through, the view's kill) all
-  died. They are not the M-list run.

-## S2e notes (PRD 1.7 REQ-COS-3 routing, sage-1471, mos-1089)
-
-- Role-policy change, for Webby to review on its own: `roles/chief-of-staff.json` withinRole gains
-  `role.hire` and `role.fire`. `packages/business/src/vocabulary.mjs` and `packages/bus/src/broker.mjs`
-  move both from the hard waits to ROUTED. `roles/chief-of-staff.md` and `roles/pm.md` drop them from
-  the hard-wait list, which `workflow-roles.test.mjs:113` pins to GATED_ONLY. No other shipped role
-  gains either action, and `role.test.mjs` pins that.
-- The call takes the reason form, as `role.end` does: `instance.hire {name, definition, vars?, reason}`
-  and `instance.fire {name, reason}`, with no decision. The reason is 1-500 characters for both.
-- Choice: the decision form is gone, not kept beside the reason form. A within-role raise closes at
-  once, so a decision there adds an event and no check. The `decision.raise` `arguments` key from S2d
-  goes with it. Tradeoff: if a later PRD gates hire again, the raise path comes back as new code.
-- Choice: hire takes a reason too. The PRD logs every hire and fire with its reason.
-- Order: tester-refused, read-only and agent-required, keys, `role-not-chief` (launch.by),
-  not-configured, `#checkAuthority` with `{target: name}`, instance-kept. `role-not-chief` comes before
-  the authority check, so a non-chief role refuses `role-not-chief` even when its file grants the
-  actions. A chief whose file lacks the grant refuses `decision-required`.
-- The writer gets only its own keys. The reason goes in the change context `{instance, run, reason}`,
-  which changes.jsonl records. The hire's consume detail is `{reason, transaction}`.
-- W-N1 `#firing` now goes by order, since the reason form has no decision id: a `fire.stopped` of the
-  subject with no later `fire.done` (`seq` after it) for the same subject. `fire.stopped` carries
-  `{action, request}` and `fire.done` `{action, transaction}`.
-- Harness: the typed `hire` and `fire` tools (verbs `instance.hire` and `instance.fire`) come forward
-  from S4, because a held action with no typed tool fails `untypedActions`. Each tool follows its own
-  grant. `roles/chief-of-staff.md` already names them. The rest of the S4 contract text and the runner
-  end to end for hire and fire stay in S4.
-- Going live is a later re-pin step with Mos (sage-1471). Landing the change doesn't put it on the live
-  stack.
-- Correction to S2d (found in S2e): S2d's broker imported `business/src/role.mjs`, which is not in
-  `seat/src/sandbox.mjs` RUNNER_FILES. The runner imports broker.mjs, so a session died with
-  ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND: cli `launcher.test.mjs` failed 15 of 29 and seat `sandbox.test.mjs` 4 of 10 at
-  089b92ca3. A bisect showed S2c passes 29 of 29. I had not run those two files for S2d. Fix:
-  `unhireableAction` moves into vocabulary.mjs, which is mounted, and role.mjs re-exports it.
-  RUNNER_FILES is unchanged, so the sandbox boundary does not widen. Rule from here (sage-1497): a
-  change to broker.mjs imports, or those of any RUNNER_FILES file, runs these four singly: seat
-  `sandbox.test.mjs`, cli `launcher.test.mjs`, cli `thread-launch.test.mjs` and cli
-  `git-socket.test.mjs`.
-- Mutant (sage-1497): broker.mjs imports `unhireableAction` from role.mjs again. Killed: sandbox.test
-  fails 4 of 10 (role.mjs outside RUNNER_FILES), launcher.test 15 of 29, thread-launch 7 of 11. git-socket
-  passes 24 of 24 under it, so it does not catch this one and stays on the list for its own sandbox runs.
-- Tests: `packages/bus/tests/chief-of-staff.test.mjs` S2d block rewritten to the reason form (39 pass),
-  with new tests for the reason bounds, `role-not-chief` with the grant, `decision-required` for a chief
-  without each grant, W-N1 by order, and the runtime end to end with the reason in the receipt context.
-  `packages/harness/tests/tools.test.mjs` gains the hire and fire tool shape test, and that no coder,
-  reviewer or pm gets either tool.
-- Probe (not the M-list run): 16 mutants, all killed. ROUTED drops of each action in the broker and in
-  vocabulary, the role file drops of each, `#firing` without the order and without the subject, the
-  reason unchecked, the writer given the reason, the context without it, no `#checkAuthority`, no
-  `role-not-chief`, the consume without the reason, the hire tool's reason optional, and the fire tool
-  gated on the hire grant. The last one survived at first and a one-grant check in tools.test killed it.

-## S3a notes (the launcher's lifecycle pass)
-
-- `packages/cli/src/launcher.mjs` `lifecyclePass` runs on the tick after the thread and land passes.
-  It lists the open requests (host op `lifecycleRequests`) and carries each under `serialize`: the
-  take, the act, then `lifecycleDone`. A take that answers no closes nothing more here. A refusal
-  goes in the launch log as `refused` with the request id. A done that throws leaves the request
-  taken with no done, which S3b's CLI reports as `outcome-unknown`. The log line names a run that
-  did start.
-- Launch: `check()` and `start()` gain `human`. The human's request may name any declared instance,
-  as V2 asks. The listing limits the chief. launch.by still takes the `pm` branch (N8). A tester
-  request launches with `launchedBy: "tester"`.
-- End: SIGTERM to each run the verb named and to any other run of the instance in the registry,
-  each after the start-time check, with a `lifecycle-end` entry. The exit handler writes the one
-  `end` record. A thread instance's end signals only the runs the verb named, so the tester's end
-  leaves the human's threads alone. No SIGKILL escalation here: that is row 191's stop (S6).
-- Regenerate: the end's signals, then a wait until the old run leaves the registry, then a launch.
-  The wait runs under `serialize`, so no other start runs meanwhile. Past the request's mark
-  (`at` + 60 s, `lifecycleRequestMs` for tests) it closes `regenerate-timeout` and starts nothing. A
-  closing host closes it `host-closing`. Tradeoff: one stuck regenerate holds other starts for up to
-  60 s. The other choice, a second pass that comes back for it, needed state across ticks for the
-  same result.
-- Delete (V5 steps 1-3): `instance-running` against the registry first, then `lifecycleDelete` (the
-  writer's commit), then the rename of `workspaces/<b>/I/` to `workspaces/<b>/.retired/I-<tx>/`,
-  both 0700. The file goes first, so a failed rename can't leave a launchable name on the old
-  workspace. A failed rename closes `workspace-rename-failed` with the transaction. A later delete of
-  the name is the retry, and the broker now answers the failed transaction, so the rename target is
-  the same (changed assertion above). No workspace means nothing to rename.
-- `--no-launch` (row 163): the ticker now runs on a no-launch host, but only the lifecycle pass, and
-  `act` closes each request `launches-disabled` before any signal, start or rename. The thread and
-  land passes stay off, so `launcher.test.mjs`'s no-launch tests pass unchanged.
-- Tests: new `packages/cli/tests/lifecycle.test.mjs`, 9 tests on the in-process host of
-  thread-launch.test.mjs, with ticks called by the test: T2 (unlisted and launch.by launches, a
-  request past 60 s, a check refusal with its code in the log), T3 (`--no-launch`, `capacity-full`
-  with the limit in the log, `instance-running`), T4 (end at the verb, the signal, one end record,
-  the cancelled request never runs), T5 (a new run on the same workspace, `regenerate-timeout`
-  with a SIGSTOPped runner, `regenerate-thread` at the verb), V5 (a failed rename then the retry,
-  modes 0700, no workspace).
-- Singles at S3a: seat sandbox 10/10, cli launcher 29/29, thread-launch 11/11, git-socket 24/24,
-  bus lifecycle-verbs 12/12, cli instances 6/6, cli lifecycle 9/9, bus process 8/8. broker.mjs
-  imports did not change, and the four must-run files ran anyway.
-
-## S3b notes (the CLI verbs)
-
-- `packages/cli/src/instances.mjs`: `business instance launch|regenerate BUSINESS I [--wait S]
-  [--tester]`, `terminate BUSINESS I [--reason TEXT] [--tester]`, `delete BUSINESS I --revision REV
-  [--wait S]` and `business veto BUSINESS keep|unkeep INSTANCE|nohire|hire DEFINITION --revision
-  REV`. `--wait` takes 0 to 600 s and defaults to 30. Every usage error exits 4 before any bus call.
-  add and set refuse `--wait` and `--reason`.
-- Launch, regenerate and delete print the request id on stderr, then poll `instance.request` every
-  200 ms. Closed with a run or a transaction prints it and exits 0. A refusal prints its reason, the
-  request id and any transaction. A cancel prints who cancelled it. Still open at `--wait` says so and
-  names the 60 s expiry. Taken with no done is `outcome-unknown` and points at the launch log.
-  Terminate doesn't wait: it prints the revoked runs, the cancelled requests and any taken request
-  past cancelling.
-- Exit codes: every lifecycle outcome that isn't done (refusal, cancel, still open, outcome unknown)
-  exits 3, as the design's `--wait` timeout does. Tradeoff: errors.mjs has 1 for an unknown outcome
-  elsewhere. One code lets a script treat "the request did not do it" as one case, and the message
-  says which. A refusal at the verb keeps the transport's code (2), as add and set do.
-- The bus `instances` read gains `running` per instance (`#running`, from the claims), so the CLI
-  and S5 can show it without a second verb. An answer with no instances map passes through as
-  before. `bus instances-verb.test.mjs`'s stub writer answers `{ok: true}` and caught the first
-  version, which threw. The CLI view marks `kept` and `running r1, r2` and adds `retired:` and
-  `the chief may not hire:` lines.
-- `scripts/mosaic` sends `business veto` to packages/cli with instances and instance.
-- Tests: cli `instances.test.mjs` +8: the V6 veto ops and kept-delete refusal, the `running` read,
-  launch and regenerate printing the run, a closed refusal with its id (exit 3), `--wait 0` still
-  open and taken `outcome-unknown`, request-cancelled, terminate output and `not-held`, delete to
-  its transaction and `workspace-rename-failed` naming it, usage errors (exit 4, no call), and the
-  scripts/mosaic veto route. The existing route test gains the veto assertions. cli
-  `lifecycle.test.mjs` +5: the CLI end to end through the pass (launch, regenerate, `capacity-full`
-  with the request id, terminate, delete), T2a (`launch-revoked` at the take with no process, a
-  done that fails once leaves the request taken and the next pass starts nothing), T4 (a spawned
-  run the bus never bound is signalled, a mismatched start time is not), T6 (run evidence bytes
-  unchanged by a delete, the launch log only grows, a create and a launch of the retired name
-  refuse), T11 (two roots with business `acme`: a launch, a terminate and a delete in one leave the
-  other's files byte-identical). bus `chief-of-staff.test.mjs` +1: T11's bus half, a chief on a bus
-  with two businesses hires and fires only in its own.
-- Not covered here: T6's `instance-starting` and the V5 refusal order are bus tests from S2c.
-  `check()` refusing a retired name is shown through the verb and the take, since `check()` reads a
-  file that no longer lists the name.
-- Singles at S3b: cli instances 14/14, cli lifecycle 14/14, bus lifecycle-verbs 12/12, bus
-  instances-verb 3/3 (after the fix), bus chief-of-staff 40/40, webui instances 5/5, seat sandbox
-  10/10, cli launcher 29/29, thread-launch 11/11, git-socket 24/24, usage 2/2, project 4/4, app
-  30/30, host 42/42, tester-threads 5/5, tester-reads 6/6, stack-copy 12/12, queue dispatch 4/4,
-  runs task-cli 9/9, webui pinned-copy 10/10, service 31/31, views 3/3. The broker change adds no
-  import. The four must-run files ran while the `instances` guard was being written, and the guard
-  touches only the read. No test pins a hash of scripts/mosaic.
-
-## S4 notes (the launch tool takes a hire, D3 item 5)
-
-- `packages/harness/src/tools.mjs`: the launch tool's `instance` is a string with the ID_PATTERN
-  pattern, not an enum fixed when the bundle was built. The start-time listing stays in the
-  description. The host checks the listing at each launch (`instance-not-listed`), so the chief
-  launches its own hire in the same session. The hire and fire tools came forward in S2e.
-- The runner does not enforce a tool's schema pattern. A bad name reaches the host and refuses
-  `instance-not-listed`, so the end-to-end test asserts that. M15 (the enum kept) is killed by the
-  tools.test shape assertion, not by the end-to-end test.
-- `packages/cli/tests/lifecycle.test.mjs` gains the T8 end to end: the chief's session hires
-  `sec-2` (definition chief-information-security-officer, the shipped definition `hireable` accepts:
-  message.send and record.write, no credential) with `TOOL hire`, a launch refuses `no-route`, the
-  human sets the route with `instances.set` op change, the same session launches it (launchedBy
-  chief), `NOT A NAME` and `reviewer` refuse `instance-not-listed`, then `TOOL fire` ends its run,
-  leaves it `launched: false` and a later launch refuses `instance-not-listed`.
-- Route gap, raised with Sage (honker-0027): harness, model and thinking are agent-layer vars
-  (`business/src/vars.mjs:142-147`) and hire vars allow only model and limits.* (N3). So a hire runs
-  only after the human sets harness and thinking. D3 item 5 says the same session launches it, and
-  it does, after that human step. Letting hire vars carry the route would widen the chief's
-  authority, a policy change that is not mine to make. As built the human step stays, and
-  `roles/chief-of-staff.md` says so. Sage ruled (b) in sage-1521: the human route step stays, and
-  the manifest notes say that launch refuses `no-route` until the human sets the route.
-- sage-1521 also keeps exit 3 for every lifecycle outcome but done (outcome-unknown included, the
-  S3b tradeoff line above stands for Webby) and the S3a choices (a `--no-launch` host runs only the
-  lifecycle pass, `lifecycleDelete` answers the transaction on a retry). `roles/chief-of-staff.md`
-  is role policy: the manifest names it and the review request flags it as a policy change.
-- `roles/chief-of-staff.md` (role policy, named in the manifest): one paragraph on the hire's route
-  step and on a fired instance staying in the file off the list.
-- Singles, each run alone: business chief-of-staff 10/10, spec-review-contracts 3/3, role 19/19,
-  resolve 10/10, harness bundle 22/22, tools 23/23, runner 34/34, pi-session 8/8, seat sandbox
-  10/10, cli launcher 29/29, thread-launch 11/11, git-socket 24/24, lifecycle 15/15, webui reads
-  11/11. No test pins a hash of tools.mjs or roles/chief-of-staff.md. tools.mjs gains an import from
-  vocabulary.mjs, already in RUNNER_FILES, and the four must-run files passed after it.
-
-## Rebase onto row 192 (2026-10-20T22:10Z)
-
-Row 192 (4429a104f, Q175 phase 1 SSO) changed webui `serve.mjs`, `cli.mjs`, `app.js` and
-`index.html`, the files S5 changes. Before S5 the branch was rebased onto origin/refactor
-f41729178 as `honker/row194-b2`. `honker/row194` stays at f70b4da50 (no force-push). The only file
-both sides changed was `PRD-1.7-DRAFT.md`, whose blob was the same on both (9bfc6f76), so its five
-draft commits dropped as already upstream. The tree check: the rebased tip differs from f70b4da50
-by exactly the base's changes. Every test file the branch changes, the four must-run files and
-webui sso, service and reads were run again singly on the new base: 23 files, all pass.
-
-## S5 notes (the Console's Agents section, D7)
-
-- `packages/webui/src/public/agents.js` (new, `window.MosaicAgents.section`): Settings draws it after
-  the role instances, from the same instances read. The table has instance, definition, launched, kept
-  and running runs, and each row has Launch, a reason box and Terminate. A human also gets Regenerate,
-  Keep or Unkeep, and Delete. The protected assistant has no Delete. Each definition has a No-hire or
-  Allow-hiring button, and a Create form adds an instance of an accepted definition. Retired names show
-  as one line. D7's "retired" column is that line, since a retired name has no instance row.
-- Regenerate and Delete take a second click. The confirm says what happens: for Delete, "Its evidence
-  and its workspace under .retired stay." Cancel asks nothing.
-- Choice: every answer that names a request is followed at `/api/agent/request` every 2 s, up to 90
-  reads, until the request closes. D7 names launch and regenerate. Delete and terminate also answer a
-  request (S2c), so the page follows them too, and the receipt shows the close or its refusal reason.
-  A failed read is shown and the poll goes on. The request is never sent again. Past 90 reads the page
-  says the request is still open and asks for a fresh read. A sign-out stops the poll.
-- With `send` false the section shows "Agent actions are unavailable here. Use mosaic business instance
-  from the instance CLI." and every control is disabled. The tester sees Launch and Terminate only.
-- `serve.mjs`: `/api/instances` takes op `delete` with the revision and the instance alone and answers
-  the request. `/api/agent/launch`, `/regenerate`, `/terminate` and `/api/veto` each have
-  `instanceSend`'s boundary and one call to `agentWrite`, with only the route's keys. A reason is never
-  logged. `GET /api/agent/request?id=` takes one request id and adds the reason for a closed refusal or
-  a cancel. Every refusal code the S2/S3 verbs answer has a reason line (`AGENT_REASONS`), and a code
-  missing there shows as itself. No route has a `--send` exception.
-- `cli.mjs`: `agentWrite` reaches only `instance.launch`, `instance.regenerate`, `instance.end`,
-  `veto.set` and `instance.request` (`agentCaller` throws for any other). The tester listener gets
-  launch, end and request only (D4.1).
-- D4.1 at the webui: the tester listener lets launch and terminate through and refuses regenerate and
-  veto with no call. A tester delete on `/api/instances` is refused in `instanceSend` with no call
-  (`tester-refused`). The bus refuses it too (broker tester-refused), and this keeps the webui from
-  asking. The agents test covers it, and with the guard removed that test fails (control run).
-- Deferred to S6: the "still running after fire" flag needs the `lifecycle.end.alive` event, which
-  comes with row 191's stop.
-- Tests: webui `agents.test.mjs` (new, 8: actions and logs, boundary refusals, read-only, refusal and
-  unknown outcomes, the request read, delete, tester routes, agents.js served) and
-  `agents-browser.test.mjs` (new, 1: read-only, launch followed to close, confirms, terminate reason,
-  refusal, keep and unknown outcome).
-- Singles, each run alone, after the last code change: webui agents 8/8, agents-browser 1/1, browser
-  1/1, instances 5/5, instances-browser 1/1, serve 4/4, service 31/31, sso 28/28, sso-browser 2/2,
-  routes 5/5, routes-browser 1/1, tester-listener 10/10, tester-browser 2/2, tester-cli 2/2,
-  settings-write 4/4, send 13/13, send-browser 2/2, shell 5/5, cli launcher 29/29, thread-launch
-  11/11, git-socket 24/24, stack-copy 12/12, cli stack-release 174/174, seat sandbox 10/10. No test
-  pins a hash of a file S5 changes. shell.test reads bus.js strings and its POST count, which S5 leaves
-  alone because agents.js holds the section's writes.
-
-## Item 7 plan (brief rev 2547, sage-1586, from row 199 N2, duckworth-0068)
-
-Choice: create states that the agent needs a restart before `issue`. It doesn't register the entry with
-the running bus.
-
-- Today create and hire refuse a definition that declares credentials (`organization-credentials-out-of-
-  scope`, `instance-settings.mjs:75-77`). So no created agent has a credential entry, and item 7 has nothing
-  to act on until row 199 lands. Row 199's D13 (origin/megavolt/row199-on-190
-  `agents/megavolt/work/queue-199/DESIGN.md:295-307`) has row 194 lift that refusal for the human's create
-  only. The agent is created with `store` references and no files. Hire stays uncredentialed.
-- The runtime already treats credential references as fixed at start (`runtime.mjs:115-134`). A file whose
-  references differ from the boot copy isn't reloaded, and `instances.set` answers `restart: true`
-  (`runtime.mjs:182`). The CLI prints RESTART_NEEDED (`packages/cli/src/instances.mjs:59, 235`), and the
-  Console's instances section prints RESTART_TEXT (`packages/webui/src/public/bus.js:691, 733`). So after the
-  lift, a human create of a credentialed definition answers `restart: true` with no new runtime code.
-  `credentials.issue` then refuses `credential-unknown`, because the broker's copy of the business doesn't
-  hold the agent (`broker.mjs:1443` on row 199) and Credentials has no reference for it
-  (`credentials.mjs:148-150, 157`).
-- Why not register: registering means a new path in row 199's Credentials that adds references to a running
-  store, plus a change to the fixed-at-start rule that row 194's D3 review accepted. The restart route changes
-  neither. It costs one bus restart per credentialed create, which the human already makes for any credential
-  change.
-- Build, after row 199 lands and this branch moves onto it (new branch name, no force):
-  1. `instance-settings.mjs`: a human `add` of a credentialed definition writes `store` references with the
-     date fields row 199 requires and no files. Hire keeps the refusal. The human's create is
-     `instances.set` op `add` (agents.js posts it to /api/instances), so it already answers `restart`. The
-     runtime comment at `runtime.mjs:115-116` ("Create and hire add neither") changes to say a human create
-     can.
-  2. `agents.js` createAgent: the receipt carries the answer's restart text, as bus.js does. Today it says
-     "Created X." and drops `restart`.
-  3. T19, bus test: a human create of a credentialed definition answers `restart: true`. Issue refuses
-     `credential-unknown` before a restart. After a bus restart over the same directories, issue works and the
-     status reads `valid`. Hire of the same definition still refuses. A browser assertion covers the restart
-     text in the Agents receipt.
-  4. Mutants: M61 the create refusal stays for the human (T19 fails at create). M62 `fixedRole` ignores
-     `credentials`, so the reload goes live and answers `restart: false` (T19 fails). M63 the Agents receipt
-     drops the restart text.
-- D13's revoke on fire and delete: Sage put it in row 194 as brief item 8 (sage-1588). See the item 8 plan.
-
-## Item 8 plan (brief rev 2556, 722136772, sage-1588, row 199 D13)
-
-`fire` and `delete` call `credentials.revoke(business, agent, {reason, actor})` before they change the
-business file. A failed revoke stops the verb with `credential-revoke-failed` and leaves the file unchanged.
-
-- Order: the verb's own checks, then the revoke, then the write. A verb its checks refuse revokes nothing.
-  Fire's checks are `instance-settings.mjs:254-265` (unknown, kept, end-protected, launch.by, last name).
-  Delete's are `planDelete` (`instance-settings.mjs:189-193`). A delete writes in the launcher's pass,
-  through `set` op `delete` after the take (comment at `instance-settings.mjs:187-188`), so its revoke goes
-  there, after `planDelete` and before the commit. The write runs under the same revision the
-  checks read, so a revision race refuses as today, after the revoke. That leaves an agent revoked with its
-  file unchanged, which is the safe side: Jason runs `issue` again if they still want it.
-- Where: the business package doesn't import the bus. The runtime passes the instance writer a revoke
-  callback, and fire and delete call it between the checks and the write. With no Credentials store (no
-  row 199 config) the callback is absent and nothing changes.
-- A fire of a name that isn't in `launch.instances` writes nothing (`instance-settings.mjs:262`) and calls
-  no revoke.
-- A revoke for an agent the running bus has no entry for (sage-1592): `credential-unknown` counts as
-  nothing to revoke only when the agent has no token file under the store, `secrets/agents/<business>/
-  <agent>/`. If a file is there while the bus doesn't know the entry (a file issued before a restart that
-  dropped the entry), the verb stops with `credential-revoke-failed`, so no agent is fired with its token
-  still on disk. Every other refusal stops the verb too.
-- Row 199 as of 86963d281 (origin/megavolt/row199-on-190) doesn't cover that case. `revoke(instance,
-  service)` calls `#known` first (`credentials.mjs:197-198`), and `#known` refuses `credential-unknown`
-  from the boot-time entries alone (`credentials.mjs:148-150`). It never looks at the disk. The store path
-  is `<storeRoot>/<business>/<agent>/<service>` (`credentials.mjs:71-76`), with storeRoot
-  `<configDir>/secrets/agents` (`credentials.mjs:40`). So the extra check stays: on `credential-unknown`,
-  look for any entry in the agent's store directory. Recheck at landing. If the landed revoke deletes or
-  refuses in that case, cite the line and drop the check.
-- Also to recheck at landing: D13's call reads `credentials.revoke(business, agent, {reason, actor})`, but
-  the class method is per service, `revoke(instance, service)`, and `remove(instance)` revokes every
-  service and then clears the agent's directory (`credentials.mjs:211-218`). The broker verb
-  `credentials.revoke` takes `agent, service, reason` (`broker.mjs:1437`). The build uses whatever the
-  landed code offers for every service of one agent, and records which.
-- Sage's pick (sage-1593): fire calls `revoke(instance, service)` for each service in the agent's entry
-  and keeps the directory, so the status still reads revoked and Jason deletes the Gitea or Vikunja token
-  (199 A5). Delete calls `remove(instance)`. Both count as the revoke for the order, the refusal on
-  failure, T20 and M64-M67. If the landed code differs from 86963d281, follow it and note the difference
-  here.
-- What that does to the sage-1592 check, as of 86963d281: `remove` takes its services from the boot-time
-  entries, so for an unknown agent it revokes nothing and doesn't refuse. It then lists the agent's store
-  directory and unlinks every token and tmp file, refusing `credential-file` for any other name
-  (`credentials.mjs:211-224`). So delete already leaves no token on disk, and the extra check applies to
-  fire only (sage-1592: cite the line and drop it). T20's delete case with a file and no entry expects the
-  file gone and the delete done. M67 runs against fire only. Recheck all of this at landing.
-- The reason: fire carries the chief's reason from the change context. Delete carries the human's request
-  reason. The actor is the verb's actor.
-- T20, bus tests, each for fire and for delete:
-  - With a credentialed agent: the revoke runs, the status reads revoked, and the file changes.
-  - With a revoke that fails (a stub store that throws): the verb refuses `credential-revoke-failed`, the
-    file's revision is unchanged, and the agent is still listed.
-  - The revoke runs before the write. The stub records the file revision it saw, and that revision is the
-    old one.
-  - With no entry in the running bus but a token file in the agent's store directory: the verb refuses
-    `credential-revoke-failed` and the file's revision is unchanged. With no entry and no file: the verb
-    goes on and the file changes (sage-1592).
-- Mutants: M64 drop the revoke call (the success case fails, the status isn't revoked). M65 move the revoke
-  after the write (the order check fails). M66 ignore the revoke's failure (the failing case writes the
-  file). M67 treat any `credential-unknown` as nothing to revoke (the token-on-disk case writes the file).
-  M64-M66 run against fire and delete, M67 against fire only (see sage-1593 above): M64a-b to M66a-b, M67.

-## b3 notes (items 7 and 8 on row 199's landing cb5fdb064, sage-1601)
-
-Branch `honker/row194-b3`, a new name per sage-1601. Its first commit 589ae2c1d squashes honker/row194-b2
-85edab7c7 onto cb5fdb064. A rebase of b2's commits stopped on the same five files many times, so I
-squashed. The five conflicts kept both sides:
-
-- broker imports, constructor, dispatch, and the credential and lifecycle verbs
-- runtime imports
-- the organization write, which takes detail and context
-- cli credentials and veto dispatch
-- the vocabulary comment, as row 199 wrote it
-
-Line numbers below are the b3 tip's.
-
-### Deviations from brief 722136772 and plan 85edab7c7
-
-1. Item 7 dates, sage-1605 pick (a). The human create writes the UTC create day as `rotateBy` and `expires`
-   (`instance-settings.mjs:118-120`). `checkCredentialRef` skips both date checks only for a store
-   reference with no file (ENOENT), and keeps the "not issued" warning (`business/src/credentials.mjs:73,
-   79-81, 110-113`). Every other reference keeps the checks. Tests: `business/tests/cli.test.mjs` "validate:
-   a not-issued store agent dated today passes, and an issued one with a past expiry fails", and T19 in
-   `instance-settings.test.mjs` (validate exits 0 with "not issued").
-2. fixedRole, sage-1605. A reference compares by kind and path only (`runtime.mjs:154-167`), because row
-   199's issue rewrites the date in the file outside the reload. Test: T19 in `bus/tests/reload.test.mjs`
-   (add, restart, issue, then a vars change goes live with restart false). The T14 date-only test stays.
-3. Delete takes all-store references, sage-1605. `deleteRefusal` refuses only when some reference isn't
-   `store: true` (`instance-settings.mjs:43-49`). A file or env reference refuses
-   `organization-credentials-out-of-scope` at the request, before any take (T20 delete case 2).
-4. Fire on a file or env reference revokes in memory, sage-1605. The result's `credentials.outsideStore`
-   names the services whose reference is outside the store (`runtime.mjs:122-124, 141-142`). T20 fire
-   case 1 checks `outsideStore: ['vikunja']` for coder.
-5. The `credential-revoke-failed` store-dir check stays, sage-1605 (`runtime.mjs:132-140`). It now runs after
-   delete's `remove` too. `remove` already leaves no token, so on delete it only refuses a name `remove`
-   would itself have refused.
-6. Tracker on add, honker-0049 and sage-1610 (a). A human add takes an optional `tracker: {bot, botId}`.
-   It is required for a definition with a vikunja credential (`organization-tracker-required`) and refused
-   for any other (`invalid-request`). checkBot and the bot uniqueness rule (other instances and
-   `tracker.sync`) run on the add path (`instance-settings.mjs:88-124`, `organization-tracker-bot-taken`).
-   `change` with a tracker refuses (`instance-settings.mjs:214`). The broker passes `tracker` through
-   (`broker.mjs:193-194`). CLI: `instance add ... [--bot BOT --bot-id N]` (`cli/src/instances.mjs:13, 73,
-   87-90, 107`, reasons at 22-27). The Console doesn't take a tracker: `INSTANCE_KEYS` in serve.mjs is
-   unchanged, the Agents and Settings forms still list credentialed definitions as not accepted, and a
-   vikunja add from the Console answers `organization-tracker-required` with a reason that names the CLI
-   (`webui/src/serve.mjs:332-333`, `webui/tests/instances.test.mjs`).
-7. Delete with a tracker bot, sage-1610 (b). The delete's result names the bot and says to remove the
-   Vikunja bot user and any token by hand (199 A5) (`instance-settings.mjs:199-202`). `lifecycleDelete`
-   returns `bot` (`broker.mjs:1386-1387`), the launcher carries it to `lifecycleDone`
-   (`cli/src/launcher.mjs:752-767`), `lifecycleDone` takes `bot` checked against BOT_NAME
-   (`broker.mjs:132, 1392-1393`), and `lifecycleView` shows it (`broker.mjs:147`). The CLI line
-   (`cli/src/instances.mjs:177-180`) and the Agents receipt (`webui/src/public/agents.js:113-115`) name it.
-   Tests: T20 bus delete case 1, T20 in `cli/tests/lifecycle.test.mjs`, and `agents-browser.test.mjs`.
-8. No Vikunja account. The create makes none and the delete removes none. Q188 and the `account.create`
-   hard wait aren't touched (sage-1610).
-9. The tester's add keeps the credential refusal. Row 175 W2 (`bus/tests/tester-writes.test.mjs:91`)
-   says the tester refuses credentials, and items 7 and sage-1610 name the human's add. The writer lifts
-   the refusal only when the actor isn't `tester` (`instance-settings.mjs` add, the `definitionFor` call).
-   The broker reserves that name: no human or role may be called `tester` (`broker.mjs:234, 237`). W2 has a
-   new case, a tester add with a valid tracker, which still refuses `organization-credentials-out-of-scope`.
-10. The commit hook is `beforeWrite` (`instance-settings.mjs:332-360`). A first draft named it `before`
-    beside a `let before`, a SyntaxError, so I renamed it.
-11. A failed delete revokes first. `Credentials.remove` revokes every service it knows before it reads the
-    directory (row 199 `bus/src/credentials.mjs` remove). When the directory then holds a name `remove`
-    refuses, the delete stops with the business file unchanged and the tokens already gone. That is the safe
-    side and matches item 8's note on a revision race. T20 delete case 1 asserts it.
-12. T20 uses real failures, not a stub store: a 0500 agent directory (fire) and a foreign file in the
-    store (delete). The revoke-before-write order is checked by the failing cases: a revoke after the write
-    would leave the file changed (M65).
-
-### Hunks for Duckworth's scoped check (sage-1605)
-
-- `packages/business/src/credentials.mjs`: 12 (DATE_KEY exported), 73, 79-81 (notIssued), 110-113 (the
-  no-file skip).
-- Credential verbs: `packages/bus/src/credential-verbs.mjs` and `bus/src/credentials.mjs` are unchanged from
-  cb5fdb064. The broker's `#requestCredential` (`broker.mjs:1679-1709`) is row 199's text as merged in the
-  589ae2c1d squash. b3's own credential hunks: the runtime revoke callback (`runtime.mjs:109-143`) and the
-  broker's `credential-revoke-failed` mapping (`broker.mjs:1816-1817`).
-- fixedRole: `packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs:154-167`.
-
-### Mutants to run on Sage's slot (after M1-M60)
-
-- M61 the human create keeps the credential refusal (T19 business and bus fail at create).
-- M62 `fixedRole` ignores `credentials` (bus T19 fails: restart false).
-- M63 the Agents create receipt drops the restart text (agents-browser fails).
-- M64a/b drop the revoke call on fire and delete (T20 success cases fail).
-- M65a/b move the revoke after the write (T20 failing cases see the file changed).
-- M66a/b ignore the revoke's failure (T20 failing cases write the file).
-- M67 any `credential-unknown` counts as nothing to revoke, with the store-dir check dropped (T20 fire
-  case 2 writes the file).
-- M68 fixedRole compares the whole reference, dates included (bus T19 fails: restart true after issue).
-- M69 `checkCredentialRef` drops the no-file condition (the issued-past-expiry validate test passes wrongly).
-- M70 drop the vikunja tracker requirement (T19 business and the CLI tracker-required case fail).
-- M71 `deleteRefusal` refuses a tracker bot again (T20 delete cases and CLI T20 fail).
-- M72 skip checkBot on the add path (T19 business bad name and bad botId fail).
-- M73 the tester's add binds credentials too (tester-writes W2 fails on both reviewer-2 cases).
-
-### Pins and a missed failure
-
-- `bus/tests/channel-proof.test.mjs` pins `webui/src/bus.mjs`. b3 adds two STATUS entries, so it is repinned
-  with a comment, as rows 165 and 171 did. No proof or transport change.
-- `bus/tests/project-runtime.test.mjs` pins the broker's vocabulary import. b2 imported `unhireableAction`
-  and never updated the pin, so the test fails on b2 too. I have no log of it running on b2. b3 fixes the pin.
-- `bus/tests/tester-writes.test.mjs` W2 caught the tester binding credentials through a tracker add. The
-  writer now lifts the credential refusal only when the actor is not `tester` (deviation 9), and W2 has a
-  case with a valid bot that still refuses.
-
-### b3 singles (2026-10-21T01:02Z)
-
-Every test file under `packages/{business,bus,harness,cli,webui}/tests`, run singly with `node --test`:
-158 files, 1501 pass, 0 fail. The first pass failed channel-proof, project-runtime and tester-writes (fixed
-above). After the fixes and the tester change in `instance-settings.mjs`, 17 files reran singly: 167 pass,
-0 fail. The total uses the rerun counts for those 17, summed by awk over the logs. Suites and mutants
-M1-M73 wait on Sage's slot.
-
-### sage-1620 (2026-10-21T01:05Z)
-
-- W2 reading confirmed. Each refused W2 case now asserts the log length as well as the bytes and revision
-  (`bus/tests/tester-writes.test.mjs`, inside the loop). M73 stays in the batch.
-- Deviation 11 accepted. The refusal text says a retry is safe: `credential-revoke-failed` has a reason in
-  the CLI (`cli/src/instances.mjs` REASONS) and in the Console (`webui/src/serve.mjs` AGENT_REASONS, shown on
-  a closed request's read). CLI T20 now fails a delete with a foreign file in rev-2's store, checks the text
-  and the unchanged revision, then clears the file and deletes. Console agents.test checks the read's reason.
-- Mutants for the slot: M74 drops the CLI reason (CLI T20 fails); M75 drops the Console reason (agents.test
-  fails).
-- Seat: every `packages/seat/tests` file singly (164 pass, 0 fail, 7 files) and the seat suite whole
-  (`node --test tests/`, 164 pass, 0 fail), for the broker import change (row 210's gate finding).
-  Touched files singly after this change: tester-writes 8, cli lifecycle 16, cli instances 14, webui agents
-  8, agents-browser 1, all pass.
-
-### Follow-up for 194: N1, a revoke that succeeds before a failed write (sage-1630, 2026-10-21T01:15Z)
-
-Duckworth's N1 (#1692 comment 29818), noted here as a follow-up with no b3 change. When the revoke succeeds
-and the write then refuses `revision-conflict` or `outcome-unknown`, the business file is unchanged and the
-tokens are gone, but neither refusal says so. Only `credential-revoke-failed` has the retry-safe text.
-
-- Order: `business/src/instance-settings.mjs:361` runs `beforeWrite` (the revoke), then `:362` runs
-  `writer.write`, which checks the revision under its lock (`business/src/organization.mjs:188`) and again
-  before publication (`:215`).
-- Fire reads a fresh revision (`instance-settings.mjs:311`), so a conflict there needs a concurrent write.
-- Delete is not a race. It commits with the revision the request recorded at raise time
-  (`bus/src/broker.mjs:1855`, checked against the file then), passed at `broker.mjs:1382` and
-  `instance-settings.mjs:193-198`. Any organization write between the raise and the take makes that
-  revision stale, and nothing compares it before the revoke. So a delete taken after such a write revokes
-  the agent's tokens and then refuses `revision-conflict` with the instance still listed.
-- Fix options: compare the request's revision with the fresh read before `beforeWrite` (the writer still
-  re-checks under its lock); or run `beforeWrite` inside `writer.write` after the `:188` check; and in
-  either case give `revision-conflict` and `outcome-unknown` text that says tokens may already be revoked
-  when a revoke ran.
-
-### sage-1634: N1 fixed in b3 (2026-10-21T01:20Z)
-
-Sage ruled N1 a blocker for 194: it is the row's own code in files the row already changes. Option 1 is in.
-The section above stays as written; this entry supersedes its "no b3 change".
-
-- `business/src/instance-settings.mjs` `commit()`: before `beforeWrite`, compare the requested revision with
-  `writer.read(business).revision` and refuse `revision-conflict` on a difference, without calling
-  `beforeWrite`. It runs for every caller (add, set, veto, hire, fire, delete). Every caller already read the
-  file with `writer.read` (it validates), so a file that went invalid in between refuses `BusinessError`,
-  also before any revoke.
-- Fire reads its revision fresh (`:311`) in the same synchronous call, so it reaches a stale revision only
-  through another process writing between that read and `commit()`. No test makes that happen without an
-  injected writer; the check is the same line, and the delete test kills both mutants.
-- Test: bus `lifecycle-revoke.test.mjs` T21. A delete raised on revision R and taken; a credential issue for
-  rev-3 writes the file; the delete refuses `revision-conflict`. The business file's bytes and rev-2's
-  Credentials entry are unchanged, the vikunja token file is still there with its bytes, the store holds only
-  it, and the status reads valid.
-- Refusal text: `revision-conflict` says the file changed since that revision (CLI `instances.mjs` REASONS,
-  Console `serve.mjs` INSTANCE_REASONS). Neither says anything was revoked, so no change. The Console's
-  AGENT_REASONS has no entry for it.
-- Mutants for the slot: M76 drops the early check (T21 fails: the token file is removed); M77 moves it after
-  `beforeWrite` (T21 fails the same way, then refuses).
-- Runs, singly or whole as Sage asked: business whole 207 pass, bus whole 525 pass, seat whole 164 pass
-  (sandbox.test included), cli instances 14, cli lifecycle 16, webui agents 8, all 0 fail.
-
-Follow-up (option 2, not in b3): run `beforeWrite` inside `writer.write`, under its lock and after the
-`organization.mjs:188` check. Until then a window remains: a write landing between the early read and the
-writer's lock still lets a fire or delete revoke and then refuse `revision-conflict`, and an `outcome-unknown`
-after a revoke still doesn't say the tokens are gone.
-
-### b4: rebase onto c3d88840c (sage-2157, sage-2164, 2026-10-21T21:20Z)
-
-`honker/row194-b4` is b3's five commits replayed onto c3d88840c (rows 196, 210, 213, 234, 235, C2-03a/04
-landed in between). b3 is unchanged. The first commit conflicted in 18 hunks across 11 files and the second
-in 4; every one kept both sides (list in honker-0067). The `webui/src/bus.mjs` channel-proof pin was
-recomputed on the merged file.
-
-What the rebase exposed, fixed on b4:
-- Creative hire (row 213, M10). `closed()` lets a creative definition through `definitionFor` for the
-  human's add and change, and hire used `definitionFor`. Hire now refuses `definition-not-hireable` for any
-  CREATIVE_DEFINITIONS entry, and `checkHireable` refuses a creative name in a role's hireable list at load.
-- Reload and library projects (C2-04). A library entry has no `root` and its mirror is ensured at start, but
-  `fixedAtStart().roots` took every project's root, so a changed mapping reloaded live. `roots` now holds the
-  non-library roots, the Credentials store's set, and `libraries` fixes each library entry whole (reload T14).
-- Creative delete (sage-2164). `deleteRefusal` refuses END_PROTECTED, creative definitions included, while
-  the listing's `protected` is false for a creative instance, so the Agents page offered a Delete the server
-  refuses. The listing adds `endProtected`, the same check `deleteRefusal` runs, and the page hides Delete on
-  it. The refusal stays; the human delete of a creative instance is a DEFERRED entry. A human can't fire one
-  either (fire refuses END_PROTECTED for every actor); `instances.set` with `launch: false` delists it.
-- Row 213's companion listing test (`instance-settings.test.mjs:274`) didn't have 194's `kept`; it now
-  pins `kept` and `endProtected`.
-- DEFERRED C1 (Duckworth N2 on row 196): `testerNoSignIn` bound the next row touching `serve.mjs`. 194
-  touches it, so the dead parameter is removed from `serve.mjs`, `webui/src/cli.mjs` and `sso.test.mjs`.
-- Manifest notes for Webby (sage-2166): C1 is closed by 194 (the three `testerNoSignIn` lines), and
-  `docs/plans/DEFERRED.md` is its own manifest path (the creative delete entry; C1 marked at landing).
-- Slot run 1 (sage-2217, 2026-10-21T22:36Z, 25 whole files on 646cd493a plus the tree): 312 pass, 2 fail.
-  Both came from combining rows on the c3d88840c base, so committed 646cd493a fails both too:
-  - `instance-settings.test.mjs:283` (row 213) expected the writer's `restart` true on a creative definition
-    change. 194's D3 makes the writer always answer false, and the bus sets restart from its reload, so
-    bean isn't running and a reload is the designed answer (reload T14 covers the running case). Repinned to false.
-  - `agents.test.mjs` T16 started the tester listener on a TCP port. Row 196 (7247d80c7) serves it only on
-    the private socket (`tester listener requires private socket`), so T16 now uses `startTesterSocket`
-    under a temp data root and `testerRequest`, as `tester-socket.test.mjs` and `sso.test.mjs` do.
-- Drift: c3d88840c..eb017d77f overlaps the manifest only on `docs/plans/DEFERRED.md` (merge-tree clean);
-  the requirements tests changed their own counts, `host-run.test.mjs` took the #453 T27 fix.
-
-### b6: Webby's b5 review (webby-0094) and Sage's rulings (sage-2241, sage-2245), 2026-10-21T23:50Z
-
-`honker/row194-b6` is on b5 (dfabbbe8a). It covers B1, N1-N4, and notes for N5-N8. B2 (S6) waits for
-row 191's `stopRun`. No test has run on b6 yet. Every run waits for Sage's CLEAR.
-
-B1, restart on every committed lifecycle verb:
-- `runtime.mjs` adds `restart: !live` to the answer of every instance-writer verb: `instances.set`,
-  `veto.set`, `instance.hire` and `instance.fire` (`INSTANCE_VERBS`). Before, only `instances.set` carried
-  it. Limits, routes and plugins writes don't go through the instance writer, and they keep their own
-  answers.
-- The CLI's veto output and the Console's veto receipt print the restart line. `/api/veto` treats an answer
-  without a boolean `restart` as a bad shape (agents.test.mjs, calls 6 to 7).
-- The stuck-firing sequence: a keep the bus copy hasn't loaded (a refused reload) passed the broker's
-  checks, step A stopped the runs, and step B refused `instance-kept`, leaving the instance firing. The
-  broker now calls `instance.fireCheck` before step A. That runs the writer's `fireChecks` against the
-  file with no write, so the fire refuses before it stops anything. `fire` runs the same `fireChecks` at
-  step B.
-- Tests: in reload.test, after a refused reload, veto, hire and fire answer restart true. A fire of a
-  name kept since then refuses `instance-kept` with the file unchanged, the run still held and no
-  `instance-firing`. After an unkeep, it fires. chief-of-staff T10 covers a fireCheck refusal that stops
-  nothing. The CLI stub-bus test covers a veto with RESTART_NEEDED.
-- Mutants for the gate: (a) put back the `instances.set`-only restart line, which reload.test's new test,
-  the CLI veto test and the Console tests should kill; (b) drop the `instance.fireCheck` call, which the
-  stuck-sequence test and T10 should kill.
-
-N1: a fire of a delisted name now revokes its services, with no write: `delisted: false`, `transaction:
-null` and the revoke receipt. A repeat revoke is safe. Test in lifecycle-revoke.test.mjs.
-
-N2: `createdCredentials` drops HOST_SERVICE, as `checkRoles` does (instance-settings.test.mjs).
-
-N3: I extended the check, as row 213 did for creative instances. `keptHumanOnly` (launch-settings.mjs) is
-called in the limits writer against the file. It refuses a re-point of a `launch.models` entry a kept
-instance's model key names, and a change of a kept instance's own key, for every actor but the human (the
-tester included, as with `creativeHumanOnly`). That makes a shared-key re-point also refused for agents
-whenever any kept instance uses that key; the chief can still add or change keys no kept instance names.
-The broker passes `instance-kept` from the writer for every verb. Test: "B7 kept instance" in
-launch-settings.test.mjs.
-
-N4: not small, so it's deferred. B1's file check removes the reachable case Webby named. A step B that
-keeps refusing (a revoke that fails every time, or a file changed between the check and the write)
-still strands the instance. The DEFERRED.md entry names a human-only verb and its test (sage-2241: never
-an agent verb).
-
-N5 (Console `busStatus` codes and the `unknown-request` polling): follow-up, not in b6. The body is right
-and the status is 502. Neither is harmful.
-
-N6 (CLI terminate signals every registry run of the instance): this is broader than V3's text
-(DESIGN.md:118-120), which names the verb's runs plus spawned-but-unbound ones. A run the chief launched
-after the verb is ended too, and its claim wasn't revoked at the verb. I haven't changed it in b6,
-because the launcher's signal pass is what S6 rewires onto `stopRun`. When S6 lands, either the pass
-narrows to the verb's runs plus unbound registry runs, or the design's next revision says terminate ends
-every run of the instance at the take. Sage's call.
-
-N7 (a delete that closes `outcome-unknown` after commit can't be retried; DESIGN.md:173 says a second
-delete retries step 3): follow-up. The window is narrow.
-
-N8: DESIGN.md:625 still lists "SIGKILL escalation" under "Not in the row". That's r2 text, and D2.2 r4
-(the fire stop, T9a, M51-M55) replaced it. The approved design isn't edited. D2.2 governs. Line 128's "no
-SIGKILL escalation" is V3 terminate and still holds (TERM only).
-
-B2, S6 (sage-2241, sage-2245): 194 lands after or with row 191 in the 10-24 window. The per-run stop
-belongs to row 191. Rocko and I agreed its shape in
-`agents/rocko/work/queue-191/STOP-RUN-CONTRACT.md` (sha256 dd9bead59372cb3394fc15060e87a824c458ee8e0e45a2b519141ba94c965bf8):
-- Call: `stopRun({root, business, run, reason, owner})` from `processing-control/src/runtimes.mjs`.
-- Answer: `{run, outcome, pid, signals, receipt}`, where outcome is stopped, killed, alive,
-  identity-changed or unknown.
-- Grace: fixed 5 s TERM and 2 s observe. Identity is checked again before each signal.
-- The first owner joins, with one immutable receipt.
-- It writes nothing to the bus and needs no claim.
-
-S6 maps killed and alive to `lifecycle.end.killed` and `lifecycle.end.alive`, and V3 terminate stays TERM
-only. It wires onto Rocko's implementation commit (`rocko/row191-stoprun-v1`) when that arrives. S6
-doesn't use the root-wide halt sweep.

-## Summary
-
-- One verb family on the CLI, `mosaic business instance <verb> BUSINESS INSTANCE`, and one Console section.
-  Create and delete change the business file. Launch, terminate and regenerate act on runs.
-- Every human verb goes through the bus with the human proof. Launch, regenerate and delete are requests the
-  launcher takes once and carries out under `serialize`. Launches go through the one `start()`, so
-  `--no-launch`, the limits, `launch.revoke` and row 191's switch all apply.
-- The chief hires (adds and lists an instance) and fires (ends its runs and delists it). It never deletes.
-  `role.hire` and `role.fire` are new hard waits, so Jason resolves each one (Mos, mos-1017). The routed
-  form waits on a PRD 1.7 draft in this packet.
-- A hire allowlist in code: the chief can hire only a definition whose every action is on `HIRE_ALLOWED`
-  (message, record, review request, assigned-task updates, and two actions that matter after row 199).
-  Launch, end, organization, naming, hire, verdict, merge and every later action stay out.
-- The per-agent forbid is two lists in the business file that only the human writes: `launch.keep`
-  (instances the chief can't fire, replace or end) and `launch.noHire` (definitions the chief can't hire).
-- The broker reloads a business from its file after each committed write. Create, delete, hire, fire and
-  veto changes then count without a bus restart. Hand edits still need one, except `bus.tester`.
-- No bus schema change and no migration. Named for review: two new vocabulary actions (hard waits), the
-  role-file `hireable` key, `"hireable": []` in `roles/chief-of-staff.json`, and three business-file keys.

-## What exists today (checked at 53bb59462)
-
-| # | Fact | Where |
-|---|---|---|
-| E1 | Instances are keys of the business file's `roles`. `launch.instances` lists those the chief may launch. The list must be non-empty | `business.mjs:121-132` |
-| E2 | The human adds an instance and changes its definition, vars and listing. No delete. Credentialed definitions are refused | `instance-settings.mjs:1-5, 22-31, 75-156` |
-| E3 | The broker copies the businesses once at start and refuses a role it doesn't know | `broker.mjs:208, 446` |
-| E4 | The chief launches over `launch.sock`. `fromSession` checks identity, then `check()` (which reloads the file), then `authorizeLaunch`, then `start()` | `launcher.mjs:232-327, 624-668` |
-| E5 | The chief's `launch` tool takes an enum of the instances listed when its bundle was built | `harness/src/tools.mjs:116-119` |
-| E6 | The chief ends a run with `role.revoke` plus a reason (`role.end`). Ending then launching again is already a replace | `broker.mjs:1601-1628`, `tools.mjs:167` |
-| E7 | `mosaic stop RUN` is a same-uid SIGTERM. It has no bus call and no human proof | `cli.mjs:447-454`, `seat/src/session.mjs:249-270` |
-| E8 | The Console stops only the assistant (`assistant.stop`) and writes instances through `instances.set` | `serve.mjs:282-289, 315-363, 535` |
-| E9 | The launcher already starts runs for the human on its 2 s tick: threads with pending messages, and merge holders | `launcher.mjs:133, 487-597` |
-| E10 | `launch.revoke` and `launch.restore` are human-only. A revoked business refuses `role.launch` | `broker.mjs:770-774, 2087-2095` |
-| E11 | Only the assistant is END_PROTECTED. Coder, reviewer, pm and cto all declare gitea and vikunja credentials | `vocabulary.mjs:135`, `roles/*.json` |
-
-The chief's veto today comes from the human-only membership in E2. The chief can only launch what the human
-listed. It has no way to create an instance, and the human has no way to stop the chief ending a given
-instance's runs.
-
-## D1. The verbs
-
-All of them are human verbs. Each is a broker verb behind `#human(s)` and then the D4 hook. Each logs its
-actor. The CLI usage joins `INSTANCES_USAGE` (`cli/src/instances.mjs:9`).
-
-| Verb | CLI | Bus verb | Effect |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| V1 create | `business instance add B I --definition DEF [--vars FILE] [--launch] --revision REV` | `instances.set` op `add` | as today, with no restart (D3) |
-| V2 launch | `business instance launch B I [--wait SECONDS]` | `instance.launch` | one run, through the launcher |
-| V3 terminate | `business instance terminate B I [--reason TEXT]` | `instance.end` | ends every run of I and cancels I's open requests |
-| V4 regenerate | `business instance regenerate B I [--wait SECONDS]` | `instance.regenerate` | V3, then V2 once the run has exited |
-| V5 delete | `business instance delete B I --revision REV [--wait SECONDS]` | `instances.set` op `delete` | a request. The launcher removes I from the business file and renames its workspace |
-| V6 veto | `business veto B (keep\|unkeep) I` and `business veto B (nohire\|hire) DEF`, each `--revision REV` | `veto.set` | edits `launch.keep` and `launch.noHire` |
-
-`mosaic business instances B` (read) gains, per instance: `running` (run ids from the bus claims), `kept`
-and `retired`. The top level gains `noHire`. `mosaic stop RUN` stays as it is. It is the same-uid operator
-tool, and V3 is the human verb.
-
-### D1.1 Requests (V2, V4, V5)
-
-The broker never starts a process or touches a workspace. Launch, regenerate and delete are requests the
-launcher carries out, as E9 already does for the human's threads. A request has three states, open, taken
-and closed, all recorded as `action.allowed` events with reserved action names:
-
-| Event | Written by | Body |
-|---|---|---|
-| `lifecycle.launch`, `lifecycle.regenerate`, `lifecycle.delete` | the broker, at the verb | `{ request, via }`, subject I, actor the human or `tester`. A `human.input` event goes with it, as `launch.revoke` does |
-| `lifecycle.taken` | host op `lifecycleTake` | `{ request }` |
-| `lifecycle.done` | host op `lifecycleDone` | `{ request, run? , refusal? }` |
-| `lifecycle.cancelled` | V3, for each open request of I | `{ request, by }` |
-
-1. The launcher's new `lifecyclePass` runs on the same tick as `threadPass` and `landPass`. It lists open
-   requests with host op `lifecycleRequests`.
-2. For each one, under `serialize`, it calls `lifecycleTake(request)`. That op runs in one store
-   transaction. It re-checks, in order: the request is still open (not taken, cancelled or closed), it is
-   less than 60 s old (else it closes as `request-expired`), the business isn't revoked (`launch_state`,
-   `launch-revoked`), I isn't retired, row 191's switch is off (`processing-halted`) for launch and
-   regenerate, and for a tester request `bus.tester` is true in the file (D4.1). Any failure closes the
-   request with that code. Otherwise it writes `lifecycle.taken` and answers go.
-3. Only after go does the pass act: `check(I, { human: true })` then `start()` for a launch, the V5 steps
-   for a delete.
-4. The pass then calls `lifecycleDone`. A taken request never runs again, whatever happens after the take.
-   If `lifecycleDone` throws, the request stays taken with no done event. The CLI reports that as
-   `outcome-unknown` with the request id, and the launcher log names the run.
-5. The CLI polls a read verb, `instance.request`, until the request closes or `--wait` runs out (default
-   30 s). A timeout exits 3 with the request id. An untaken request can still be taken within its 60 s.
-
-So the human's `launch.revoke` stops every untaken request, not only new ones (B4), and a bus restart
-can't start a request older than 60 s.
-
-### V2 launch
-
-1. At the verb the broker checks that I exists, isn't a thread instance (`not-thread-launch`: threads start
-   on a message), isn't retired, and that the business isn't revoked and, with row 191, isn't halted. These
-   repeat at the take (D1.1 item 2).
-2. After the take, `check(I, { human: true })` and `start({ instance: I, launchedBy })`, where
-   `launchedBy` is the business human or `tester`. `human: true` lets the human launch an instance that
-   isn't in `launch.instances`. The listing limits the chief, not the human. `launch.by` still goes through
-   the `pm: true` branch (`launcher.mjs:235`), as `--pm` does today. Every other step of `check()` and
-   `start()` is unchanged.
-
-### V3 terminate
-
-1. The broker revokes every claim I holds (`#claimEnd(s, h, 'revoke', null, reason, actor)`). A thread
-   instance has all its thread claims revoked, which is exactly `assistant.stop`.
-2. In the same transaction it writes `lifecycle.cancelled` for every open (untaken) request of I, so no
-   launch the human asked for before the terminate starts after it (B5).
-3. It writes `lifecycle.end` with the runs. The launcher pass sends SIGTERM to each run's runner after
-   checking its start time, as the idle stop does (`launcher.mjs:526`). It also signals any run of I in the
-   launcher's registry that has spawned but not yet bound, which holds no claim yet. The existing exit
-   handler records the end, so the launch journal and `session.ended` are unchanged.
-4. Nothing held, nothing open and nothing in the registry answers `not-held`.
-5. Terminate is allowed while row 191's switch is on. It starts nothing.
-
-A taken launch request is past cancelling. Its run reaches the registry under `serialize`, and the next
-terminate ends it. The CLI's terminate output says so when a taken request exists.
-
-There is no SIGKILL escalation in this row. A run that ignores SIGTERM keeps running. `mosaic stop` and the
-limits are the operator's tools for it (N6).
-
-### V4 regenerate
-
-A fresh session with the same identity and role. It is V3 then V2 under one request. The pass takes the
-request, waits for the old run's exit handler, then runs `check()` and `start()`. The workspace stays, as
-it does across every launch today. The session is new because every non-thread launch gets a new run dir
-(`seat/src/session.mjs:107`, newRun). If the old run hasn't exited by the request's 60 s mark, the request
-closes as `regenerate-timeout`, nothing starts, and the old run is still running (N6).
-
-A thread instance (the assistant) refuses `regenerate-thread`. Its context lives in the thread's session
-directory, and clearing that is T1 item 7 (clear context). This row doesn't take it.
-
-### V5 delete
-
-`instances.set` gains op `delete`. At the verb the broker and the writer refuse, in this order:
-
-| Refusal | When |
-|---|---|
-| `tester-refused` | the caller is the tester (B6) |
-| `organization-definition-refused` | I is END_PROTECTED |
-| `organization-instance-referenced` | I is `launch.by` or an arbiter. The message names the reference |
-| `organization-instance-kept` | I is in `launch.keep`. The human runs `veto unkeep` first. Delete never clears a veto silently |
-| `organization-credentials-out-of-scope` | I holds credentials or a tracker bot. That stays a hand edit until the credentials row (row 199) |
-| `instance-running` | the broker sees a claim for I. The human terminates first |
-| `instance-starting` | an open or taken request for I has no done event |
-| BusinessError | I is the last name in `launch.instances` (E1). The message says so |
-
-The checks pass with no write, and the broker records a `lifecycle.delete` request. After the take, the
-launcher pass, under `serialize` so no `start()` of I runs alongside it:
-
-1. Re-checks the registry for I (`instance-running`) and re-runs the writer's checks against the file as it
-   stands. The `--revision` the human gave must still match, else `revision-conflict`.
-2. Commits the file through the organization writer. It removes `roles.I` and the references that exist
-   only for I: its `launch.instances` entry, its `launch.limits.tokens.instances` entry and its
-   per-instance model entry. It adds I to a new top-level list, `retired`. The build lists every place
-   `validateBusinessDocument` reads a role instance name and puts each one in one of the two groups (refuse
-   or remove). A reference the table doesn't name stops the build and goes back to Webby.
-3. Renames `workspaces/<b>/I/` to `workspaces/<b>/.retired/I-<transaction>/`, mode 0700. No workspace is
-   no rename.
-4. Calls `lifecycleDone` with the transaction.
-
-The file goes first. Once it is committed, `check()` refuses I as unknown, so no launch can open the old
-workspace even if step 3 fails. A failed rename closes the request with `workspace-rename-failed`, the
-transaction and the path left behind. A second `delete` of a retired name skips steps 1 and 2 and retries
-step 3 only. The file and evidence are already right, so this is the whole recovery.
-
-What stays:
-
-- Run evidence (`launches/<b>/<run>/`, `launches/<b>.jsonl`) and bus rows are untouched. They are
-  write-once.
-- The workspace, under `.retired`. This row deletes no file. A prune with a receipt is a later act.
-- `retired` stops a later create or hire from reusing the name. Decisions bind to the role instance and
-  outlive restarts (`broker.mjs:783-788`). A new `coder` would otherwise inherit an approval raised by the
-  old one. The tradeoff is a name that can't come back without a hand edit. I chose that over voiding
-  decisions, which would touch a second store.
-
-### V6 veto
-
-`veto.set` args: `{ revision, op: "keep" | "unkeep" | "nohire" | "hire", name }`. It goes through the
-organization writer, so it is logged with actor and diff in `changes.jsonl`. `keep` needs a declared,
-non-END_PROTECTED instance. `nohire` needs a name that matches the id pattern. A no-op answers
-`organization-no-change`. It is human-only and isn't in `TESTER_ORGANIZATION_VERBS`.
-
-## D2. Chief hire and fire
-
-### D2.1 Authority (Mos, mos-1015 and mos-1017, through Sage, sage-1362 and sage-1365)
-
-This row adds `role.hire` and `role.fire` to `ACTIONS` (`vocabulary.mjs:11`). Under PRD REQ-WAIT-3 a new
-action is a hard wait until a PRD version says it isn't (`vocabulary.mjs:52-57`), so both ship as hard
-waits. Jason resolves each one. There is no PRD change and no grant in a role file: `role.mjs:42` refuses
-a withinRole that lists a hard wait, and REQ-WAIT-2 forbids it.
-
-The flow in this row:
-
-1. The chief raises a `role.hire` or `role.fire` decision whose body carries the arguments (business,
-   name, definition, vars, or name and reason). A hard wait goes to the human only. No arbiter resolves it.
-2. Jason resolves it in the Console or the CLI.
-3. The chief calls `instance.hire` or `instance.fire` citing the decision. The broker checks it with
-   `#consumeAuthority(s, 'role.hire', { decision, target })`, as the `role.revoke` decision branch does,
-   and the arguments must equal the decision body field by field (N1, webby-0010). For hire that is
-   `name`, `definition` and `vars` (vars compared with `canonicalJson`, absent equal to absent only). For
-   fire it is `name` and `reason`. A key in the call that the body lacks, or a body key the call lacks,
-   refuses `decision-mismatch`. Every check below runs again at this call, so a veto set after the resolve
-   still refuses.
-
-The routed form, where the chief hires and fires without a decision each time, needs a PRD version that
-moves both actions to `ROUTED`. My draft is `agents/honker/work/queue-194/PRD-1.7-DRAFT.md`. It quotes
-TARGET.md line 66 and carries Mos's bounds. Jason approves it as a `prd.approve` decision in the Console,
-and Sage opens that decision. When it lands, a later commit adds the two actions to both `ROUTED` lists
-(`vocabulary.mjs`, `broker.mjs:43-69`) and to `roles/chief-of-staff.json` withinRole. The broker then
-takes the `reason` form instead of a decision. The verbs and every check below stay the same. This row
-builds and tests the hard-wait form only. It writes the `hireable` key and its allowlist now (D2.3), because
-both forms use them.
-
-### D2.2 What the chief may do
-
-| Act | Bus verb | Rule |
-|---|---|---|
-| launch | `launch` (host) | as today: listed instances only |
-| end a run | `role.revoke` + reason | as today, and refused `instance-kept` when the target is kept (D2.4) |
-| hire | `instance.hire { name, definition, vars?, decision }` | adds and lists an instance. Refusals below |
-| fire | `instance.fire { name, reason, decision }` | ends I's runs, cancels I's open requests, and removes I from `launch.instances`. Refusals below |
-
-Only the business's chief, the instance named by `launch.by`, may call either verb. Any other caller
-refuses `role-not-chief`, even with a resolved decision, as `#classification` already limits
-`role.launch`. The broker reads `hireable` from that chief's own role file. Both act only in the chief's
-own business. Neither verb takes a business argument. The broker uses the
-cap's business, and a decision raised in another business refuses `decision-mismatch`. Row 191's switch
-refuses both while halted (D6). Every hire and fire writes `changes.jsonl` through the organization writer
-with actor the chief's instance and run, and the decision id.
-
-Hire refuses, in order:
-
-1. `definition-not-hireable` when the definition holds an action outside `HIRE_ALLOWED` (D2.3), whatever
-   any list says.
-2. `definition-not-hireable` when the definition isn't in the chief role file's `hireable` list, or is in
-   the business's `launch.noHire`.
-3. `organization-definition-refused` for END_PROTECTED, `organization-credentials-out-of-scope` for a
-   credentialed definition (until the credentials row, row 199), `invalid-request` for version 1.
-4. `organization-instance-retired` when the name is retired.
-5. When the name exists: a fired instance (in `roles`, not listed) is listed again only if `definition`
-   equals its current one and `vars` is absent. Any other definition or vars refuses
-   `organization-instance-exists`, and so does a listed name. A re-hire never moves an instance's
-   decisions to a different role (B3).
-
-Hire's `vars` may hold only the keys the chief can already set on an instance through `organization.set`
-(the model key, `broker.mjs:1266-1269`) and narrowing `limits.*` keys. Anything else, such as `harness`
-or a route, refuses `invalid-request`. The human sets those (N3).
-
-Fire refuses `instance-kept` for a kept instance, `organization-definition-refused` for END_PROTECTED,
-`organization-instance-referenced` for `launch.by`, and a BusinessError for the last listed instance. A
-fired instance stays in `roles`. The chief never deletes. Delete stays a human act because it retires the
-name.
-
-Fire ends the fired instance's processes, not only its claims (F4, Megavolt through sage-1374). Every run
-gets the shared model token at start: `ENV_ALLOW` (`packages/seat/src/session.mjs:83-94`) passes
-`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` and the other provider variables into the sandbox. A revoke
-can't take that token back, so a fired agent whose process lives on still holds it.
-
-The delist is a business file commit through the organization writer, and the revoke and events are store
-rows. No transaction covers both (webby-0011 B2), so fire runs in a fixed order, store side first:
-
-A. One store transaction: steps 1 to 3 below, plus `fire.stopped` with the decision id. The decision isn't
-   consumed yet.
-B. The delist through the organization writer (`launch.instances` loses I, logged in `changes.jsonl`).
-C. One store write consuming the decision and recording `fire.done`.
-
-If B or C fails, fire answers the step's code and the decision stays unconsumed. A second fire citing the
-same decision runs again. A finds nothing to revoke, cancel or stop, and that isn't a refusal for fire
-(unlike V3's `not-held`). B finds I already delisted and counts as done. C consumes. So a fire is safe to
-repeat until it's consumed. The other order would leave a delisted agent with a live process and its model
-token when the store step fails, which is the case F4 exists to stop. A halt between A and B doesn't stop
-B or C, because neither starts anything. A second fire while halted refuses (D6), and the halt's own stop
-covers the runs.
-
-Steps 1 to 3 are V3's, with one change:
-
-1. It revokes every claim the instance holds.
-2. It writes `lifecycle.cancelled` for each of the instance's open requests.
-3. It writes `lifecycle.end` with the runs and `kill: true`. The launcher pass stops each runner, spawned
-   but unbound registry runs included, with escalation (sage-1380 item 1):
-   - SIGTERM after the identity check.
-   - After the grace, SIGKILL to any runner still alive, after the same identity check again, and
-     `lifecycle.end.killed` with the run and pid.
-   - A runner still alive after SIGKILL and the observe wait gets `lifecycle.end.alive`. The Console's
-     Agents section shows it to the human.
-   A runner whose identity no longer matches is never signalled. Every check, the recheck after the
-   grace included, uses the identity (start ticks plus boot id), never a bare pid, so a reused pid never
-   counts as the fired run (webby-0011 N2).
-
-Fire's answer lists the runs it is stopping. The delist stops any new chief launch (`launch` takes listed
-instances only). A human launch request already taken is past cancelling, as in V3. The human made it, the
-fire answer names it, and the human's terminate ends its run.
-
-The stop is row 191's per-run stop, not a second one, so the two can't fight (sage-1380 item 1). Row 191's
-design r2 (`agents/rocko/work/queue-191/DESIGN-r2.md`, "Stop policy and completion") sends SIGTERM, waits
-5 s, sends SIGKILL to verified groups and namespaces, and observes for 2 s. Its identity check is start
-ticks plus boot id, which replaces the start-time check at `launcher.mjs:526`. Fire calls that routine for
-one instance's runs and uses its constants, so the grace is row 191's 5 s, not the 10 s in r3. The order:
-
-- Fire is refused while halted (D6), so a halt sweep never meets a fire that started after it.
-- A halt that comes during a fire's stop finds those runs already stopping. Each run has one stop receipt
-  (row 191's), and the first stop owns it. The halt sweep joins it instead of sending a second SIGTERM or
-  restarting the deadline, and counts the run in its remaining or quiescent totals.
-- The record says which stop owned it: reason `fire` with the decision, or row 191's `kill-switch` with
-  its generation.
-
-V3 terminate is unchanged. It still sends SIGTERM only (N6). Only fire escalates, because only a fired
-agent must lose the token at once. If row 191 hasn't landed when this row builds, the build chains on its
-candidate (Q177), as D6 already says.
-
-### D2.3 The hire allowlist (B2, sage-1365 item 4, webby-0010 B1)
-
-r2 and r3 had a deny list, `HIRE_FLOOR`. Webby's B1 showed it missed routed actions (`git.merge.protected`,
-which `roles/merge-gate.json` holds with no credentials, `decision.resolve.technical`, `policy.change`,
-`prd.approve`), and that any action added later would be hireable by default. That isn't fail-closed. r4
-replaces it with an allowlist.
-
-A definition is hireable only if every action in its withinRole and crossRole is on `HIRE_ALLOWED`:
-
-| Allowed action | Held today by |
-|---|---|
-| `message.send`, `record.write` | every v2 role file |
-| `review.request`, `task.update.assigned` | coder, cto, pm, reviewer |
-| `task.scope.change`, `git.push.working` | coder, cto, pm (credentialed, so they matter only after row 199) |
-
-Everything else in `ACTIONS` fails, including the actions of the old floor (`role.launch`, `role.end`,
-`role.revoke`, `organization.change`, `instance.name`, `review.verdict`, `role.hire`, `role.fire`) and those
-B1 named. An action added to `ACTIONS` later fails until a reviewed commit adds it here.
-`git.push.remote` (row 199, routed to coder by PRD 1.7) isn't on the list. A coder holding it stays
-unhireable until a reviewed commit adds it, after the credentials bound is lifted.
-
-Against today's role files: chief-of-staff, cto, merge-gate, pm, reviewer and security-reviewer fail.
-Assistant, researcher, coder and the five C-suite files pass the allowlist. Assistant is END_PROTECTED and
-coder is credentialed, so D2.2 item 3 refuses them. The C-suite files hold only `message.send` and
-`record.write`, so hiring one gives no authority beyond its name. `hireable` still has to list it.
-
-The list is a constant in `business/src/vocabulary.mjs`, `HIRE_ALLOWED`. It is checked twice:
-
-- At load. `role.mjs` validates the chief role file's `hireable` list: distinct definition names, each
-  present in `rolesDir`, version 2, and every action on `HIRE_ALLOWED`. A list naming one that isn't refuses
-  the role file (`hireable names <def>, which holds <action>`). The check reads only the named file's authority lists,
-  never its `hireable`, so a list can't recurse. `hireable` is an optional key on any role file. This is a
-  role schema change, named for review.
-- At hire, in the broker, against the definition as loaded then. A role file edited after load is caught
-  here.
-
-`hireable` in `roles/chief-of-staff.json` stays empty in this row (`[]`, Q4, sage-1374). Naming the first
-role kind is a separate policy commit in `roles/`, made after Jason resolves the `prd.approve` decision, as
-AGENTS.md invariant 7 requires. With an empty list the chief can hire nothing, even with Jason's resolve,
-until that commit. The row's tests use scratch role files whose `hireable` names a kind.
-
-### D2.4 The per-agent forbid and the veto (sage-1365 item 3)
-
-TARGET.md line 66: "Chief of staff agent has hire/fire authority for agents as needed; unless user forbids
-per agent". The forbid is two lists in the business file that only the human writes:
-
-- `launch.keep`: instance names. The chief can't fire, replace or end a kept instance. The broker refuses
-  `instance-kept` for every chief act aimed at it except launch:
-  - `instance.fire`, even with a resolved `role.fire` decision. Mos's limit is that Jason's veto applies
-    to every hire and fire, so the human unkeeps before a fire.
-  - a hire of that name.
-  - `role.revoke` in the reason branch (`broker.mjs:1607-1613`). End then launch is a replace (E6).
-  - an `organization.set` write of that instance's model key (B7). A model change is a replace at the next
-    launch.
-
-  The `role.revoke` decision branch (`broker.mjs:1614-1615`) still ends a kept run. It ends a run, it
-  doesn't fire or replace, and it cites a decision the human resolved (Webby's Q2 ruling). The human's V3
-  and the limits also still end a kept run.
-- `launch.noHire`: definition names the chief can't hire into this business (D2.2 item 2).
-
-Why the chief can't change the forbid:
-
-- Only `veto.set` writes the lists. It is human-only (`#human(s)` then the D4 hook) and refuses the tester.
-- `organization.set`, the chief's one write verb, reaches only `ORGANIZATION_KEYS` (`broker.mjs:145`),
-  which exclude `launch` and `retired`.
-- `instances.set` is human or tester only (`broker.mjs:1248-1298`).
-- Hire and fire carry no field that writes either list.
-
-T18 tests each of those paths from a chief session and checks the business file bytes are unchanged.
-
-END_PROTECTED instances can't be kept (N7). That is intended: Q169 lets the chief end the assistant's
-runs, and the assistant's own stop is `assistant.stop`. Default, per "unless user forbids": nothing is
-kept and nothing is on `noHire`.
-
-### D2.5 Where it lives and how the broker enforces it
-
-The forbid lives in the business file, under `launch`, beside the membership it limits:
-`launch.keep: [instance]`, `launch.noHire: [definition]`, and top-level `retired: [instance]`. `hireable`
-lives in the chief's role file, because it bounds the role, not one business.
-
-`checkLaunch` (`business.mjs:118`) gains the two keys. Each list is distinct. `keep` names declared,
-non-protected instances. `noHire` entries need only the id pattern (N2). A stale deny entry is harmless,
-and a reviewed commit that removes a role file must not stop every business that lists it. `retired`
-names none of `roles`. This is the business-file schema change for review. Old files without the keys load
-unchanged. An old bus loader rejects a file that has them (`rejectUnknownKeys`), so a rollback past this
-row needs the keys removed first. The activation plan has to say so (R4).
-
-The broker enforces from its live copy of the business, which D3 keeps current. The checks sit in the
-`role.revoke` reason branch, in `organization.set`'s model write and in the two chief verbs, before any
-write.
-
-## D3. Live changes
-
-Today the broker's `#businesses` is fixed at start (E3), and `instances.set` answers `restart: true` for
-add and redefine.
-
-1. `Broker.reloadBusiness(id, document)` swaps in one business's validated document. It is synchronous, so
-   no request sees half of it. It refuses an unknown id and a document whose `human` changed (that is row
-   193's ground).
-2. The runtime's organization callback (`runtime.mjs:121-133`) calls it in one place, after every verb
-   that commits a write, whatever the verb (N1). Today that is `limits.set`, `instances.set`, `routes.set`
-   and `plugins.set`, and after this row `veto.set`, `instance.hire`, `instance.fire` and the launcher's
-   delete through the same writer. It loads from the file through the loader `bootConfig` uses
-   (`cli/src/config.mjs:88-105`), so the broker holds exactly what a restart would give it. Then
-   `limits.refresh(id)` runs, as `plugins.set` does now.
-3. Other startup consumers of `businesses` in `startBroker` (`runtime.mjs:75-81`): credential references,
-   usage, the web services and the tasks adapter's bots. A create or hire adds no credentials, no tracker
-   bot and no web grant, because credentialed definitions are refused. The build checks each consumer
-   against that claim. Any change that would need one of them still answers `restart: true` and doesn't
-   reload.
-4. A definition change on a running instance refuses `instance-running`. A live cap must not change
-   authority under its run. This is new: today the change waits for the restart. Existing tests that pin
-   `restart: true` change with it (N4): `business/tests/instance-settings.test.mjs`,
-   `bus/tests/instances-verb.test.mjs`, `cli/tests/instances.test.mjs:76-94` (the `RESTART_NEEDED` text and
-   the restart line) and `webui/tests/instances.test.mjs:25, 71, 74, 140-145`. The build names each
-   changed assertion in its manifest.
-5. The chief's `launch` tool (E5) takes `instance` as a string with the id pattern instead of the start-time
-   enum. Its description says the host refuses an unlisted instance. `check()` already refuses one
-   (`launcher.mjs:235`). Without this, the chief can't launch its own hire until its session restarts.
-   `tools.mjs` may carry hash pins in tests. The build greps for them (R5).
-6. Hand edits of the business file still need a restart. Nothing watches the file. The one exception is
-   `bus.tester` (D4.1), read from the file at each tester call.
-
-After this, `restart` is false for create, delete, hire, fire and veto changes, and true only under item 3.
-
-## D4. RBAC until row 193
-
-Every human verb above calls `#human(s)` and then one hook, `#mayHuman(s, verb, target)`. Until row 193
-lands, the hook passes for the business's one `human`, which is the owner. The verbs are listed once, in
-an exported `LIFECYCLE_HUMAN_VERBS` (`instance.launch`, `instance.end`, `instance.regenerate`, `veto.set`,
-and `instances.set` ops `add`, `change`, `delete`), so row 193 maps each verb to the human roles that may
-use it. Row 193 replaces the hook body and nothing else.
-
-### D4.1 The tester (Sage, sage-1355)
-
-What the tester may do after this row:
-
-| Verb | Tester |
-|---|---|
-| `instance.launch`, `instance.end` | yes, new |
-| `instances.set` ops `add`, `change` | yes, as today (row 175, `broker.mjs:103`, `serve.mjs:537`) |
-| `instances.set` op `delete` | no, `tester-refused` in the broker (B6) |
-| `instance.regenerate`, `veto.set` | no, `tester-refused` |
-
-The tester's cap is bound to one business, and only when that business sets `bus.tester` to true
-(`broker.mjs:542-546`). That stays Jason's switch, and no bus verb writes it. Two checks run on each tester
-lifecycle call, before any effect, and again at the take (D1.1):
-
-1. The request's business is the cap's business. Any other refuses `tester-refused`.
-2. `bus.tester` is exactly true in the business file as it stands, read through `settings.current(id)` as
-   `harnessOn` does (`runtime.mjs:136-142`), not from the broker's copy (B8). An unreadable file refuses
-   `tester-off`. So a hand edit turning testing off counts at the next tester call, without a restart.
-
-The request and done events record actor `tester`. The tester's Q173 tests of the Agents section then cover
-launch and terminate on a scratch business, and the rest through fixtures.
-
-## D5. One stack instance
-
-Row 190 carries the stack instance as the config `MOSAIC_CONFIG` names. These verbs take no instance name.
-The CLI reaches the broker socket under that config's `dataRoot`. The broker acts on its own businesses,
-launcher and data root. A business id that exists in two stack instances is two separate businesses. A test
-runs two scratch roots with the same business id and shows a launch, a terminate and a delete in one leave
-the other byte-identical (T11).
-
-## D6. The kill switch
-
-- Launch and regenerate end in `start()`, which row 191 gates (its D3 inventory, `launcher.mjs:329-457`).
-  The new pass adds no second start path.
-- The broker refuses `instance.launch` and `instance.regenerate` with `processing-halted` while the switch
-  is on (V2 step 1), and the take checks again (D1.1), so no request is waiting when a human resumes.
-- `instance.hire` and `instance.fire` are agent work verbs, so row 191's default refuses them while halted.
-  The build adds them to row 191's work table, not its read list. A hire Jason resolved before a halt
-  still refuses while halted, and the chief calls it again after the resume.
-- Terminate, create, delete and veto start nothing and stay allowed.
-- If row 191 hasn't landed when this row builds, the build chains on its candidate (Q177). The two halted
-  checks are written against its reader and tested with its fixture.
-
-## D7. The Console
-
-A new Settings section, "Agents", in its own `agents.js` file. Settings itself isn't rewritten. It lists
-each instance with definition, listed, kept, retired and running runs, and flags a run with a
-`lifecycle.end.alive` event as "still running after fire" (D2.2). It has these actions:
-
-- Create (definition select, from `definitions`), Delete (with a confirm naming what stays: the evidence
-  and the workspace under `.retired`).
-- Launch, Terminate (with an optional reason), Regenerate (with a confirm).
-- Keep and Unkeep per instance, and a No-hire toggle per definition.
-
-The routes are `POST /api/instances` (op `delete` joins `add` and `change`), `POST /api/agent/launch`,
-`/api/agent/terminate`, `/api/agent/regenerate` and `POST /api/veto`. Each uses `instanceSend`'s boundary:
-signed-in user, exact Origin, same-origin Fetch Metadata, JSON within 16 KiB, strict keys, one bus call
-through the human transport, and `outcome-unknown` on an unexpected answer. Launch and regenerate show the
-request, then poll `GET /api/agent/request?id=` until it closes.
-
-`agents.js` joins the static file list (`serve.mjs:28`) and `index.html` (N5).
-
-When `/api/config` says `send` is false, every action button shows as unavailable with the text "Agent
-actions are unavailable here. Use mosaic business instance from the instance CLI." This is the live state
-until Q175 phase 2. Every write test uses a fixture server and fixture writers, as rows 165 and 191 do. No
-route gets a `--send` exception.
-
-## D8. Tests
-
-Every test uses scratch roots under `TMPDIR` and the existing fixtures (`business/tests/helpers.mjs`,
-`cli/tests/helpers.mjs`, `webui/tests/tester-fixture.mjs`). None touches `~/.mosaic-dev`,
-`~/.config/mosaic-dev`, a live unit or a slot file.
-
-| Test | Shows | File |
-|---|---|---|
-| T1 | V1 create on a running bus: a launch of the new instance binds with no restart, and the answer says `restart: false` | cli `instances.test.mjs` |
-| T2 | V2: a human launch of an unlisted instance runs. `launch.by` goes through the `pm` branch (N8). A thread instance, a retired one and a revoked business refuse at the verb. A request older than 60 s never launches. A refused `check()` closes the request with its code | cli `lifecycle.test.mjs` (new) |
-| T2a | Take: a `launch.revoke` between the request and the pass closes it `launch-revoked` with no process. A `lifecycleDone` that throws once leaves the request taken, and the next tick starts nothing. A taken request is never taken twice | same |
-| T3 | V2 with `--no-launch` and with each limit refusal: no process, request closed with the code | same |
-| T4 | V3: claims revoked, runner SIGTERMed after the start-time check, one end record. A mismatched start time sends no signal. An open request is cancelled and never starts. A spawned, unbound run in the registry is signalled | same |
-| T5 | V4: the new run starts only after the old exit, with a new run dir and the same workspace. A run that ignores SIGTERM closes the request `regenerate-timeout` with nothing started. The assistant refuses `regenerate-thread` | same |
-| T6 | V5: each refusal in the V5 table, in order, including `instance-starting` with an open request. A clean delete leaves the evidence bytes unchanged, commits the file before the rename, adds `retired`, and a create or hire of the same name refuses. A failed rename closes `workspace-rename-failed`, `check()` refuses the name, and a second delete renames only | business `instance-settings.test.mjs` and cli `lifecycle.test.mjs` |
-| T7 | V6: each op, the no-op refusal, an unknown `noHire` name accepted, and a `changes.jsonl` entry with actor `human` | business |
-| T8 | Chief hire (hard-wait form): no decision refuses. A decision raised by the chief goes to the human only, no arbiter. After the resolve, the hire adds and lists the instance, logs actor and decision, and the same chief session launches it (D3 item 5). Arguments that differ from the decision body refuse. A non-chief caller with a resolved decision refuses `role-not-chief`. Outside `hireable`, in `noHire`, credentialed, END_PROTECTED, retired, and extra vars each refuse | bus `chief-of-staff.test.mjs` |
-| T8a | Re-hire (B3): a fired name with the same definition and no vars is listed again. Another definition or vars refuses `organization-instance-exists` | same |
-| T8b | Hire allowlist (D2.3): one case per action in `ACTIONS` that is neither on `HIRE_ALLOWED` nor a hard wait (`role.mjs` already refuses those), looped from the lists, not typed by hand. A fixture definition, clean when the chief's role file loads and listed in `hireable`, is rewritten to hold that action before the hire. The hire refuses `definition-not-hireable`. A definition holding one allowed and one refused action refuses. One holding only allowed actions hires. A pin test fixes `HIRE_ALLOWED` to the six actions | same |
-| T8c | Allowlist at load: a role file whose `hireable` names a definition holding each refused action refuses at `loadRole`, one case per action, looped the same way. The mixed case refuses. A clean list loads. A missing, version 1 or duplicate name refuses | business `role.test.mjs` |
-| T9 | Chief fire: runs end, open requests cancelled, delisted, still in `roles`. Kept (even with a resolved decision), END_PROTECTED, `launch.by` and last-listed refuse | bus `chief-of-staff.test.mjs` |
-| T9a | Fire ends processes (F4, sage-1380 item 1): with a bound run and a spawned but unbound registry run of I, both fixture runners holding a stand-in model variable, fire answers both runs. After the launcher pass, neither runner pid is alive and I holds no claim. A fixture runner that ignores SIGTERM gets SIGKILL after the grace, is gone, and has `lifecycle.end.killed` with its run and pid. A stand-in whose kill is stubbed to fail gets `lifecycle.end.alive`. A runner whose identity changed before the SIGTERM, or between SIGTERM and SIGKILL, gets no signal. V3 terminate of a SIGTERM-ignoring runner sends no SIGKILL | cli `launcher.test.mjs` |
-| T9b | Fire and row 191's halt: a halt during a fire's stop sends no second SIGTERM, keeps the fire's deadline, writes one stop receipt with reason `fire` and the decision, and counts the run in its totals. A fire while halted refuses (D6) | cli `launcher.test.mjs`, on row 191's fixture |
-| T9c | Fire order (webby-0011 B2): the organization writer stubbed to fail after A commits. Fire answers the writer's code, I's claims are revoked and its runs stopped, I is still listed, and the decision is unconsumed. A second fire citing the same decision delists I and consumes it. A third fire refuses `decision-consumed`. With C stubbed to fail, the second fire finds I delisted and only consumes | bus `chief-of-staff.test.mjs` |
-| T10 | Keep: chief `role.revoke` with a reason, fire, hire of that name and an `organization.set` model write aimed at a kept instance each refuse `instance-kept`. A `role.revoke` citing a human-resolved decision ends the kept run (Q2). The human's V3 works | same |
-| T11 | Two scratch stack instances with the same business id: V2, V3 and V5 in A leave B's root and config byte-identical. A chief of business A can't hire into business B on the same bus | cli `lifecycle.test.mjs`, bus |
-| T12 | Agent and reader sessions refuse every human verb before any effect. The tester gets exactly the D4.1 table, including `tester-refused` for `instances.set` op `delete` (B6). The D4 hook is called with the verb | bus `instances-verb.test.mjs` |
-| T12a | Tester launch and terminate work on the cap's business with `bus.tester` true, record actor `tester`, and refuse `tester-refused` for a second business on the same bus. A file edit setting `bus.tester` to false, with no restart, refuses the next call and the take `tester-off`. An unreadable file refuses `tester-off` | bus `instances-verb.test.mjs` |
-| T13 | `organization.set` with `launch`, `retired`, `keep` or `noHire` keys refuses | bus |
-| T14 | Live reload: after each committed verb, `plugins.set` and `routes.set` included, the broker answers from the new document. A definition change on a running instance refuses `instance-running` | bus |
-| T15 | Kill switch (with row 191's fixture): launch and regenerate refuse `processing-halted` at the verb and at the take, hire and fire refuse, terminate works | bus and cli |
-| T16 | Console: each route's boundary refusals, a fixture write per action, `outcome-unknown` on a bad shape, unavailable buttons when `send` is false, request polling, and `agents.js` served from the static list | webui `agents.test.mjs` (new) |
-| T17 | Business file: the new keys validate, each bad entry refuses, and a file without them loads byte for byte as before | business `business.test.mjs` |
-| T18 | The forbid can't be changed by the chief (D2.4): from a chief session, `veto.set`, `organization.set` with each list key, `instances.set`, and hire and fire with extra fields all refuse, and the business file bytes are unchanged | bus `chief-of-staff.test.mjs` |
-
-### Mutants
-
-Each one must fail at least one test. They run against the candidate, and the file is restored and its
-sha256 checked after each one.

-| M29 | a re-hire accepts a different definition | T8a |
-| M30 to M36 | the broker's hire check accepts one action outside `HIRE_ALLOWED`, one mutant per action: `role.launch`, `role.end`, `organization.change`, `instance.name`, `review.verdict`, `git.merge.protected`, `decision.resolve.technical` | T8b |
-| M37 to M43 | the same seven, accepted by the load check in `role.mjs` only | T8c |

-## Scope and boundaries
-
-- In the row: the verbs and passes above in `business` (vocabulary, role validation, instance-settings,
-  business validation), `bus` (broker verbs, reload, runtime callback), `cli` (instances command, launcher
-  pass, host ops), `harness` (the launch tool's schema, and the hire and fire tools), `webui` (routes and
-  the Agents section), the tests, the package READMEs and the PRD draft in this packet. `docs/TOOLS.md`
-  text goes to Sage.
-- Named for review:
-  - Vocabulary: `role.hire` and `role.fire` join `ACTIONS` as hard waits, under REQ-WAIT-3. The commit
-    message names them as hard waits, as REQ-WAIT-3 requires.
-  - Role schema: the optional `hireable` key, validated in `role.mjs` (D2.3).
-  - Role file: `roles/chief-of-staff.json` gains `"hireable": []`. No authority change.
-  - Business file schema: `launch.keep`, `launch.noHire`, `retired` (D2.5).
-- Not in the row: the routed form (after PRD 1.7), filling `hireable`, credentialed hires and deletes (row
-  199), clear context for the assistant (T1 item 7), human roles (row 193), SIGKILL escalation, and any
-  live activation or Console start.
-
-## Risks
-
-- R1. Case 1's working roles (coder, reviewer, pm, cto) all declare credentials (E11), and pm, cto and
-  reviewer fail the hire allowlist anyway. Neither the human verb nor the chief can create or delete credentialed
-  roles until the credentials row (row 199). That is the largest gap against Case 1, and it isn't this
-  row's to close.
-- R2. The human proof is path-bound and same-uid (P19 333). Any same-uid process that runs the tree's
-  `human-cli.mjs` can launch and delete. Row 190b's separate uid and row 193 narrow it. This row adds no
-  check of its own.
-- R3. The 60 s request window means a slow `check()` (checkouts) can still start a run up to that point
-  after the CLI gave up. The CLI says so on timeout.
-- R4. Rollback past this row needs `keep`, `noHire` and `retired` removed from each business file, and
-  `hireable` from the role file, or the old loaders refuse them. The activation plan states this.
-- R5. `tools.mjs`, `serve.mjs`, `broker.mjs`, `vocabulary.mjs` and `role.mjs` may carry sha256 pins in
-  other packages' tests. The build greps the tests for every changed path plus a 64-hex value before
-  in-review, without a `head`.
-- R6. With `hireable` empty, the chief can hire nothing until the policy commit in `roles/` that follows
-  the `prd.approve` resolve names a kind (Q4). Case 1's "as needed" waits on that commit and on PRD 1.7.
-- R7. Fire's SIGKILL closes the SIGTERM-ignoring case (sage-1380). A runner still alive after SIGKILL
-  (an unkillable process, or a stop whose identity check fails) keeps the shared model token until the
-  human acts on `lifecycle.end.alive`. Only a per-agent model token (row 199 Q-M4, a later proxy row)
-  would let a fire revoke the token itself.
-
-## Questions and rulings
-
-- Q1, ruled by Mos (mos-1015, mos-1017, through sage-1365): `role.hire` and `role.fire` ship as hard
-  waits Jason resolves. The routed form needs PRD 1.7, drafted in `PRD-1.7-DRAFT.md`. D2.1.
-- Q2, ruled by Webby (webby-0003): keep blocks the chief's `role.revoke` reason branch, not its decision
-  branch. D2.4.
-- Q3, ruled by Sage (sage-1355): launch and terminate are tester verbs scoped to the tester's own
-  business, behind `bus.tester`. D4.1.
-- Q4, ruled by Sage (sage-1374): `hireable` stays empty in this row. Naming the first role kind is a
-  separate policy commit in `roles/` after Jason resolves the `prd.approve` decision. Tests use scratch role
-  files that name a kind. D2.3.

-# PRD 1.8 draft: trusted actions within role guardrails, the manual mode, and grants the chief of staff
-# requests and the user approves
-
-Draft by Honker for Vikunja #434, under Mos's assignment mos-1117 (through Sage, sage-1525). Not approved.
-It changes nothing until Jason approves it as a `prd.approve` decision. Sage opens that decision and sends
-Mos its id. Base: `docs/prd/mosaic-stack.md` version 1.6 at 008746b6e, plus the version 1.7 text Jason
-approved (PRD-1.7-DRAFT.md r2, 9ba31b5b3, decision d52febb5, mos-1089). Where 1.7 is not yet written into
-the PRD file, this draft's anchors name 1.7's sections.
-
-Revision 2 makes Mos's edits a to f (mos-1124, through Sage, sage-1534) and fixes Duckworth's B1 and B2
-with notes N1 to N6 (duckworth-0057) on r1 at 3c30f1036. Revision 3 fixes Duckworth's C1 and takes
-notes N1 and N2 (duckworth-0058) on r2 at 60f5ca8fa, with Gizmoduck's enrollment wording
-(gizmoduck-0067). Revision 4 makes Mos's rulings on duckworth-0057 (mos-1129, through Sage, sage-1538)
-on r3 at d16ccdb91: only an Approve creates a grant, one decision for a grant that makes an account, and
-the arbiter route for `host.sudo`. Revision 5 fixes two stale notes from Duckworth's r4 check
-(duckworth-0061 N1), with no change to the requirement text. Revision 6 makes Mos's wording for those
-notes and adds two items for Jason at approval (mos-1138, through Sage, sage-1548), again with no change
-to the requirement text.
-
-For Jason at approval: "The main agent or chief of staff" in Q10 is read as one role under two names,
-the chief of staff. So only the chief raises a grant request, and your assistant passes your own request
-to the chief. That reading is Mos's (mos-1124). To change it, say so when you approve, and REQ-GRANT-1
-changes before the text goes into the PRD.
-
-Also for Jason at approval:
-
-- Only an Approve creates a grant. A grant written into the business file by hand makes nothing. An agent
-  that runs as the same OS user as the stack can still write the stack's own store. That is the B7
-  residual (Q182 on dragon-lin, #423 on .53 and .54), and this version doesn't close it.
-- Who decides a root command on another host changes. Once `host.sudo` is routed, a raise for it that
-  cites the spec and isn't within-role goes to the arbiter for its domain, as version 1.7 set for
-  `git.push.remote`, not to you. The grant and its allowlist still limit the command. In manual mode the
-  decision comes to you (REQ-TRUST-2).
-- Revoke: Q188 says "you, Mos or the tester". "Mos" is read as your assistant (REQ-ROLE-4), limited to
-  grants in its own organization, and the tester may revoke only on a dev instance. That reading is Mos's
-  (mos-1124 d, mos-1132). To change it, say so when you approve, and REQ-GRANT-4 changes before the text
-  goes into the PRD.
-- The broker enforces only that the chief of staff raised a grant request. The rest of the chain of
-  command is the messaging lists and the role contracts, not a broker check (REQ-GRANT-1).
-
-## What it changes
-
-Today an agent acts without a raise only on actions its role file grants within-role, and the role
-files grant few. Every other use of a tool or command waits on a decision. Row 210 builds `host.sudo` as a
-hard wait, so Jason would decide each command run on another machine. Grants themselves are hand work:
-Jason makes every token and key from a runbook (REQ-CRED-1).
-
-Jason's ruling Q188 turns this around. Roles set what each agent may do, and by default agents do it at
-will within their sandbox and guardrails. A per-use raise happens only in a manual mode. No agent creates
-a grant. The chief of staff brings a grant request to the user's inbox, the user clicks Approve or Deny, and
-protected stack code does every step of making the grant. The user's own tokens are entered once in the
-WebUI and never reach an agent.
-
-This version adds:
-
-1. Trusted actions within role guardrails as the default mode (REQ-TRUST-1).
-2. Manual mode, a list of actions that each need a decision per use: who sets it, where it lives and what
-   it changes (REQ-TRUST-2).
-3. Grant requests, raised only by the chief of staff through the chain of command (REQ-GRANT-1).
-4. Approve and the protected grant code, with three grant methods: machine key, Gitea and GitHub
-   (REQ-GRANT-2).
-5. The user's tokens, entered in the WebUI and used only by the grant code (REQ-GRANT-3).
-6. Row 210's REQ-CRED-4, generalized from `host.sudo` to every role-listed action that uses a grant
-   (REQ-CRED-4).
-7. Instant revoke (REQ-GRANT-4).
-
-The hard waits stay with the user (Mos, mos-1117): spending money, deleting data, new external accounts,
-messages outside the fleet and the rest of REQ-WAIT-1. Approving a grant is the user resolving one of
-those hard waits, `credential.mint`. A grant that makes an account, such as a seat's own Gitea user
-(Q190), is the same one decision: its method says it makes an account, and the inbox shows the account
-name before Approve. So no hard wait moves to an agent.
-
-When this version lands, reviewed commits:
-
-1. add the manual-mode list to the organization file schema, written only on the human's path
-   (REQ-TRUST-2), and make the broker classify a listed action as needing a decision for each use, before
-   any other routing.
-2. add the grant request: a decision the chief of staff raises with action `credential.mint`, naming the
-   agent, the method and target, the exact rights and, when the method makes an account, the account
-   name (REQ-GRANT-1). The broker refuses a `credential.mint` raise from any other role. An
-   `account.create` raise isn't a grant request and routes as it does in version 1.7, such as a PM's
-   sign-up for a service.
-3. add the grant code that runs on a resolved Approve, one method at a time, and the grant record it
-   writes (REQ-GRANT-2, Vikunja #435 and #436).
-4. add the user's token store, written from the WebUI (or the CLI until the Console knows the signed-in
-   human) and read only by the grant code (REQ-GRANT-3).
-5. move `host.sudo` into both `ROUTED` lists, as row 199 does for `git.push.remote`, and route it under
-   REQ-CRED-4, with the arbiter route version 1.7 set for `git.push.remote`. Which definitions list it
-   within-role is a separate reviewed role commit in `roles/`.
-6. update the role contracts that list the hard waits: `roles/chief-of-staff.md:75` raises grant
-   requests with the REQ-GRANT-1 fields, and `roles/pm.md:55` asks the chief of staff for a grant instead
-   of raising `credential.mint` itself (line numbers on origin/refactor). Other roles that list the hard
-   waits get the same line as the PM. A role's messaging list carries the chain of command.

-## Text for the PRD
-
-Status line, appended to the current paragraph:
-
-> Version 1.8 records Jason's ruling Q188 of 2026-10-20: trusted actions within role guardrails by
-> default, a manual mode for per-use raises, and grants the chief of staff requests and the user
-> approves, approved by Jason in decision <prd.approve decision id>.
-
-Source, two new bullets above "Version 1.7 source":
-
-> - Version 1.8 source, Jason's ruling Q188 (DECISIONS, 2026-10-20), his answers to Q8 and Q10, in part.
->   Q8: "I would rather grant the grant right to an agent that runs with strict guardrails. That agent
->   presents the final authorization for the user. Upon approval, the grant is created programmatically.
->   I see this as: User configures their PATs, API tokens, authorizations within the WebUI. The agent
->   presents the request for grant with X rights for another agent. The user reviews, then clicks
->   Approve/Deny. Click of Approve fires off protected mechanical methods to handle the grants on Github,
->   Gitea, .... services as needed. The tooling would need to exist and must be guarded." And "Disallowing
->   the agents to create grants autonomously is a necessary evil for better security. Requiring the user
->   to manually perform the steps is a no-fly." Q10: "Agents should have tools and command access based on
->   roles. Those roles dictate the allowed tools and commands. The use of a tool or command should not be
->   raised to the user unless the system is configured with a manual mode that requires user
->   interaction. By default I want to have the agents capable of running commands and tools at will
->   within their sandbox/guardrails. This allows autonomous actions by agents within their lanes. Perhaps
->   a "Trusted actions within approved guardrails" methodology." And "The main agent or chief of staff
->   would be responsible for surfacing the request to the user's inbox for approval. Not all agents are
->   capable or authorized to request directly. It must follow the chain of command properly." He agreed
->   with Mos's Q10 points 3 to 6: protected stack code does every step on Approve, his tokens are entered
->   in the WebUI and agents never see them, a command on the approved list runs without a click and any
->   other is refused, and he, Mos or the tester can revoke a grant at once.
-> - Version 1.8 source, Jason's ruling Q190 (DECISIONS, 2026-10-20), his answer "Q12: O1": each agent seat
->   gets its own account on his Gitea, created through the Q188 approval path once the Gitea grants exist.
-
-Under "Decisions", after REQ-DEC-6, a new section:
-
-> ### Trusted actions
->
-> Added in version 1.8 (Q188).
->
-> - **REQ-TRUST-1.** Agents act within their role guardrails without asking. The default mode is
->   "trusted actions within approved guardrails". An action a role file grants within-role is done at
->   will, inside the agent's sandbox, its tool limit and its grants, and is logged. It raises nothing to
->   the user. An action the file doesn't grant within-role still routes by REQ-DEC-2, and a hard wait
->   still goes to the user (REQ-WAIT-1). Only a reviewed role change adds an action to a role file, and
->   REQ-WAIT-2 still keeps every hard wait out of every role file.
-> - **REQ-TRUST-2.** The user can put chosen actions in manual mode. The organization file holds the list
->   of actions in manual mode, empty by default. While an action is on the list, every use of it by any
->   role becomes a decision for that use, raised to the user, and the action waits until the user
->   resolves it. A decision denied, or not resolved, refuses the action. Each decision is used once. For a
->   command on another host, the decision names the host, the command and its input. Actions not on the
->   list are unchanged. Only the user changes the list, through the WebUI or the CLI. The chief of
->   staff's organization writes (REQ-ROLE-3) can't change it, and no agent can. Every change is logged
->   with who made it. A change applies to the next use, and a run already in progress keeps no
->   exemption.
-
-Under "Credentials", after REQ-CRED-3 (version 1.7):
-
-> Added in version 1.8 (Q188):
->
-> - **REQ-CRED-4.** An action a role definition lists within-role, and that uses a grant, runs without a
->   decision for each use only when all of these hold:
->   - the definition declares the credential kind the action uses;
->   - a grant names that agent, and that host or service;
->   - for a command, the command matches the grant's allowlist. A grant lists exact argv prefixes. A
->     wildcard grant is refused;
->   - the agent's key or token for that grant is issued and not revoked.
->
->   A command off the allowlist is refused, and adding one takes a new grant request (REQ-GRANT-1). An
->   action whose definition doesn't list it within-role still needs a decision for each use. Only a
->   reviewed role change adds an action to a definition. `host.sudo` routes under this requirement.
-> - **REQ-GRANT-1.** No agent creates or writes a grant. A grant request follows the chain of command,
->   and only the chief of staff raises it to the user's inbox. Any other role that needs a grant for
->   itself or for an agent it directs asks the chief of staff, through its chain: a worker role through its
->   PM, the PM and the CTO directly. The assistant passes the user's own request to the chief of staff
->   (REQ-ASSIST-1). The request names the agent, the grant method and its target, the exact rights, and a
->   rotate-by or expiry date. The chief raises one only for an agent whose reviewed role definition
->   allows that kind of credential, and the broker refuses any other. A grant can't name a wildcard, a
->   shell or an empty command. The request is a decision with the action `credential.mint`, so it goes
->   to the user as a hard wait (REQ-WAIT-1). A grant whose method makes an account, such as a seat's own
->   Gitea user (Q190), is the same one decision: the method in the grant says it makes an account, the
->   request names the account, and the inbox shows the account name before Approve. The user's one
->   resolution covers the account and its credential, so the hard-waits list doesn't change. An
->   `account.create` raise isn't a grant request and routes as version 1.7 has it. The broker checks
->   only that the chief of staff raised the request. The chain of command before that is in the
->   messaging lists and the role contracts, not a broker check.
-> - **REQ-GRANT-2.** The user approves or denies each grant request in the inbox. Approve is the only thing
->   that creates a grant, and the code uses a grant only when it has a matching Approve record. No agent
->   creates a grant. A grant written into the business file by hand makes nothing. Row 210's hand-written
->   grants stay a test path until Vikunja #436a moves `host.run` to grants made by Approve. On Approve,
->   protected stack code does every step, not an agent and not the user: it records the grant, makes the
->   key or token, installs it on the machine or creates it on the service, and logs each step. On Deny
->   nothing is made, and the denial is logged. The grant methods are:
->   - machine key: a key for one agent on one enrolled host, with the command allowlist of REQ-CRED-4. A
->     host's identity comes from the host side when the user approves its enrollment, never from a first
->     connection. A host user with sudo receives a grant only after the user approved that user by name;
->   - Gitea: a token for one agent, and for an agent seat its own Gitea user (Q190), with an expiry. The
->     all scope and the admin scope are never granted;
->   - GitHub: a grant for one agent.
->
->   The Gitea and GitHub rights units come in a later design that Jason approves.
->
->   The approval binds the exact rights the user saw and the target or its enrolled identity. A change to
->   the agent, its definition, the target, the target's identity or the rights after the raise voids it. An
->   approval is used once. A grant the code couldn't finish is undone at once on the stack's side, so it
->   is never used. What it left on the host or service stays visible as pending until it is removed, as
->   for a revoke (REQ-GRANT-4). A new grant needs a new approval, never an automatic retry. The grant
->   code runs only on a request the user resolved. A request resolved by an arbiter, the tester or any
->   agent makes nothing. A `credential.mint` decision raised before version 1.8, or without the fields of
->   REQ-GRANT-1, makes nothing when it is approved. Until the Console
->   knows the signed-in human (Vikunja #412), Approve is `mosaic decide` in the CLI (REQ-DEC-3).
-> - **REQ-GRANT-3.** The user enters their own personal access tokens and API tokens in the WebUI, or the
->   CLI. Only the grant code reads them, to make grants. No agent ever sees a token value or a key's
->   private half. Values appear in no event, log, message, prompt or agent file, and no agent can read
->   them back (REQ-VAR-2). Until the Console knows the signed-in human, they are entered through the
->   CLI.
-> - **REQ-GRANT-4.** A grant can be revoked at once by the user, by the assistant for a grant in its own
->   organization, or by the tester on a dev instance (Q173). A revoke needs no decision and no new trust.
->   It takes effect at once on the stack's side, without waiting on the network, so the next use is
->   refused. Removing the key or token at the host or service follows. Until that removal is done it stays
->   visible as pending. A revoke while the grant is being made stops it, and nothing it made stays usable.
->   Every revoke is logged with who made it.
-
-REQ-CRED-1, appended:
-
-> Since version 1.8, a token or key for a grant is made by the grant code on the user's Approve
-> (REQ-GRANT-2), not by hand. Tokens that exist stay as they are.
-
-REQ-WAIT-3, appended:
-
-> `host.sudo` was added as a hard wait and routes under REQ-CRED-4 since version 1.8.
-
-Under "Risks and open questions", a new bullet:
-
-> - Trusted mode lets an agent run its allowed commands at will. On another host, an allowed command that
->   writes a file as root or starts a shell can plant a key, and the seat sandbox doesn't confine the
->   network, so root can outlive the grant and a revoke. The allowlist narrows this. A seat sandbox with
->   its own network namespace closes it. Until then the host's own audit log is the check after the fact
->   (row 210 design section 6).
-
-## Notes for the reviewer and for Mos
-
-- REQ-TRUST-1 restates what REQ-DEC-2 already does for within-role actions ("routine and within-role
-  decisions are logged") and names it as the default mode. It grants nothing new by itself. What widens
-  is the role files, one reviewed commit at a time.
-- The hard waits stay with the user (mos-1117). REQ-GRANT-1 makes the grant request a `credential.mint`
-  decision, already a hard wait under REQ-WAIT-1, so Approve is the user resolving it. REQ-WAIT-2 stands:
-  no role file grants `credential.mint`. The grant code acts on the user's resolution, not on a role
-  grant. A grant that makes an account, such as a seat's Gitea user under Q190, is the same one
-  `credential.mint` decision. So 1.8 doesn't change the hard-waits list (mos-1124 a, mos-1129 N4).
-- Manual mode: Sage asked who sets it, where it lives and what it changes. Mos accepted these choices
-  (mos-1124 b), and Jason can change them: a list of actions in the organization file, empty by
-  default, changed only by the user, outside the chief's organization writes. A list rather than one
-  switch follows Gizmoduck's #436 draft section 7 (gizmoduck/machine-grant-design f6b6a04b6), so Jason
-  can make host commands manual without making every action manual. Listing every within-role action
-  gives the whole-organization manual mode. Row 210's per-call `host.run` decision, bound to host, argv
-  and stdin and spent once, is this mode's decision for a host command (Q188, Mos's reading).
-- Gizmoduck's draft proposes REQ-CRED-5 (section 8) for the machine grant. Its content is in REQ-GRANT-1
-  to REQ-GRANT-4 here, generalized to all three methods, so 1.8 has no REQ-CRED-5. Their bounds in
-  gizmoduck-0062 items 4a to 4g are in the text: the chief raises only for an allowed definition, the
-  approval binds the rights shown, it is used once with no automatic retry, no value is ever seen, revoke
-  is at once on the stack's side with the host or service removal visible until done, every grant has a
-  rotate-by or expiry date, and the host identity comes from the host side. Duckworth has reviewed their
-  design r1 to r4 (duckworth-0056 and duckworth-0060), so a later change there may need a change here.
-- B1 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): a grant the code couldn't finish is undone at once on the stack's side.
-  What it left on the host or service stays visible as pending until it is removed, as for a revoke.
-- B2 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): Mos chose Duckworth's second option. Only an Approve creates a grant,
-  and the code uses a grant only when it has a matching Approve record. A grant written by hand makes
-  nothing. Jason's Q188 gives the reason: "Disallowing the agents to create grants autonomously is a
-  necessary evil for better security" and "Upon approval, the grant is created programmatically." Row
-  210's hand-written grants stay a test path until #436a moves `host.run` to grants made by Approve. r2
-  and r3 had a hand path in the business file, and r4 takes it out, with r3's load check on hand grants
-  (duckworth-0058 N1) and the note that a revoke never rewrites the user's file (duckworth-0058 N2).
-  The same-uid write to the stack's own store stays the B7 residual, and the top of this draft names it
-  for Jason.
-- C1 (duckworth-0058, sage-1538): `account.create` is the hard wait for any new external account, not
-  only a grant (REQ-WAIT-1, `vocabulary.mjs:43-46`, `roles/pm.md:55`). It stays as version 1.7 has it.
-  Only `credential.mint` is chief-only, and a grant that makes an account is a `credential.mint`
-  decision (N4), so a PM's sign-up for a service routes as before.
-- Gizmoduck's machine-grant r2 (eb4c756a1, gizmoduck-0067): enrollment is a request the user approves
-  and the stack runs (mos-1120), and a host user with sudo is enrolled by name, the user's Approve
-  covering that user (mos-1125). REQ-GRANT-2's machine key says both. Their design r3 and r4 (1c5705d6d
-  section 6) give revoke to the user, the assistant in its own organization and the tester on a dev
-  instance, as REQ-GRANT-4 does (mos-1124 d).
-- N1 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): the approval binds the target or its enrolled identity.
-- N2 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): a revoke during creation stops it, and nothing it made stays usable.
-- N3 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): landing step 6 lists the role contract updates (`roles/pm.md:55`,
-  `roles/chief-of-staff.md:75`). A `credential.mint` decision raised before 1.8, or one without the
-  grant fields, makes nothing when it is approved.
-- N4 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): a decision carries one action (`a.action`, broker.mjs:1678 on
-  origin/refactor). A grant that makes an account is one `credential.mint` decision: the method in the
-  grant says it makes an account, and the inbox shows the account name before Approve. The user clicks
-  once, and there is no separate `account.create` action for it. Gizmoduck's machine-grant r2 reads it
-  the same way.
-- N5 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): `host.sudo` keeps the arbiter route version 1.7 set for
-  `git.push.remote`. A raise for it that cites the spec and isn't within-role goes to the arbiter for
-  its domain (broker.mjs:1677-1678 on origin/refactor), and the grant and its allowlist still limit the
-  command. In manual mode the decision goes to the user. The top of this draft names this for Jason as a
-  change in who decides a root command on another host.
-- N6 (duckworth-0057, mos-1129): the broker enforces only that the chief of staff raised a grant request.
-  The rest of the chain of command is the messaging lists and the role contracts (step 6 of "When this
-  version lands"). REQ-GRANT-1 says so.
-- Approving a grant doesn't by itself let a command run without a click. That needs REQ-CRED-4 and
-  `host.sudo` in the routed lists, step 5 of "When this version lands" (gizmoduck-0062 item 4i).
-- Which roles may request: Q188 says "Not all agents are capable or authorized to request directly. It
-  must follow the chain of command properly." The text makes the chief of staff the only role that raises,
-  the PM and the CTO ask it directly, and worker roles ask through their PM. Jason's words also name "the
-  main agent", but REQ-ASSIST-1 keeps the assistant out of directing agents, so it passes the user's
-  request to the chief rather than raising one. Mos accepted this (mos-1124 c) and reads "the main agent
-  or chief of staff" as one role under two names. That reading is Mos's, so the top of this draft puts it
-  to Jason at approval.
-- REQ-CRED-4 keeps row 210's conditions (origin/gizmoduck/row210-on-199-r2,
-  agents/gizmoduck/work/queue-210/DESIGN.md:376-392): the definition declares the kind, the grant names the
-  agent, an exact argv-prefix allowlist with wildcards refused, the key issued, and only a reviewed role
-  change adds the action. Row 210 put the grant in a hand-edited business file, which stays a test path until
-  #436a. Under 1.8 the grant is what Approve records, so "the business file grants that agent that host"
-  becomes "a grant names that agent and that host".
-- Revoke: Q188 says "you, Mos or the tester". Mos is Jason's assistant (REQ-ROLE-4), so the text says the
-  assistant, limited to grants in its own organization, and the tester only on a dev instance (Q173).
-  Mos accepted this with those limits (mos-1124 d).
-- Approve in the Console needs the Console to know the signed-in human (Q175 phase 2, #412). Until then
-  Approve is `mosaic decide`, which REQ-DEC-3 already allows (mos-1124 e). This draft doesn't take
-  REQ-WEB-2, which stays with the Console decide buttons amendment (Vikunja 19/266). That amendment, or a
-  later version, moves Approve into the Console.
-- Roles already use a scoped Gitea token (`<read|write>:<category>`, all and admin never granted,
-  `packages/business/src/vocabulary.mjs:105-106` on origin/refactor). It is a likely Gitea unit, not a settled
-  one. Only the machine key is designed so far. Gitea and GitHub are a later #436 draft, and minting a Gitea
-  token needs an admin credential the user enters, which is a design of its own (Gizmoduck's draft section
-  11). GitHub's rights unit isn't settled. So the text leaves both units to a later design Jason approves
-  (mos-1124 f), and keeps only the bounds: an expiry, and never the all or admin scope. The PRD names outcomes
-  and checks, not the grant code's steps, as REQ-CRED-3 does.
-- Jason expects the inbox Approve and the Gitea and GitHub grants by 10-27 (Q188 point 6). That is a
-  delivery date, so it is in the source and not in the requirement text.
-- This draft follows the PRD's own style: plain words, no semicolons in new sentences, and the status
-  paragraph never edited in place except to append.

+# Row 254 build: library sync follow-up (C2-03a deferrals)
+
+Row 254, #1759, reviewer Dewey, gate owner Sage. Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-21_library-sync-followup.md
+(0de97f429), for the deferrals Dewey named in the row 222 approval (#1723 comment 30138). Built on
+origin/refactor c3d88840c, which carries row 222 (0b33f5e9d) and row 196 (7247d80c7). Launch: sage-2163.
+
+## What it does
+
+1. **Client timeout.** `packages/bus/src/human-cli.mjs` gives `library.sync` a 130 s client timeout. Every
+   other verb keeps Client's 5 s default (`timeout: undefined` takes the default). The server holds a library
+   verb's socket for 120 s (`packages/bus/src/server.mjs`, the `socket.setTimeout(120_000)` branch), and the
+   fetch alone may take 100 s (GIT_LIMITS). So the client waits past the server and gets the server's own
+   answer, including its `request-timeout`, instead of giving up first.
+   - The Console has no library route, so there is no Console timeout to change (brief item 1, "when one
+     exists"). When a route is added, note that webui `humanCall` kills its child at 30 s by default. The
+     route would need `timeoutMs` above 130 s for library.sync.
+   - `tester-cli.mjs` is unchanged: library.sync is human-only, so the tester gets `human-required`.
+2. **STATUS codes (215 N3).** `packages/webui/src/bus.mjs` maps six codes:
+
+   | Code | Status | Why |
+   |---|---|---|
+   | library-sync-busy | 409 | a sync is running; read status again |
+   | library-diverged | 409 | held for a human accept |
+   | library-accept-stale | 409 | the tip moved; read status again |
+   | library-accept-invalid | 400 | a malformed accept |
+   | library-credential-missing | 503 | the remote can't be reached, like no bus to ask |
+   | library-fetch-failed | 503 | the same |
+
+   Neither 503 is 502, the default for an unknown code, so dropping any one entry changes its status and the
+   test catches it.
+3. **README (222 N4).** `packages/library/README.md` Sync section: the transport timeouts, that a client
+   timeout leaves the sync running, that a second call gets `library-sync-busy`, and that `library.status`
+   shows the result. It also says the Console has no library route yet.
+   - Correction to row 222's BUILD.md, "What it does": "`webui/src/cli.mjs`: the Console gets the call" was
+     not true. `cli.mjs` builds `librarySync` and passes it to `startServer`, and `serve.mjs` never reads it
+     (checked on c3d88840c: no library reference in serve.mjs).
+
+## Channel proof re-pin
+
+`packages/bus/tests/channel-proof.test.mjs` pins both changed files by hash. The test change is two baseline
+values and a header comment, nothing else:
+
+| File | Old | New |
+|---|---|---|
+| packages/bus/src/human-cli.mjs | 269c3a66008c0d57… | 9c9af66b98ea0a490c9a880fc81c3c62414a8ee0b5ba6478608771b8c4f87932 |
+| packages/webui/src/bus.mjs | 934ab2f9b6bde72a… | e69d17d4385a4d190d15373ed1a26e270a5c6906eec9e61fcc2bb6b05849cabb |
+
+human.mjs and transport.mjs are unchanged, and so are the entry-path test and the plug-in import ban. No
+other test pins either file: `git grep` for both old hashes finds only queue.json history and old packets,
+and the one 64-hex string in webui service.test.mjs is a made-up UID.
+
+## Dewey's other 222 notes
+
+None is a few lines in a file this row changes, so all three stay deferred:
+- N1: a close waits on every entry left in a pass (runtime.mjs).
+- N2: a held tip still gets its tree read, and a refused read hides the divergence (sync.mjs).
+- N3: held states log every tick (runtime.mjs).
+
+## Tests
+
+- `packages/webui/tests/library-status.test.mjs` (new): each of the six codes maps to its status, and an
+  unknown code is 502.
+- `packages/bus/tests/library-sync.test.mjs`, a new test. A stand-in bus socket answers every request after 6 s,
+  and the real human-cli.mjs runs two requests in parallel. library.sync gets the answer, and library.status
+  gets `outcome-unknown` at 5 s. It takes about 6 s.
+- `packages/bus/tests/channel-proof.test.mjs`: the new baselines.
+
+Planned mutants on Sage's slot:
+1. Drop the human-cli timeout line: the library-sync test fails (sync gets outcome-unknown) and the
+   channel-proof hash fails.
+2. Drop one STATUS entry (`library-fetch-failed`): library-status test fails, and so does the channel-proof hash.
+
+Both files are hash-pinned, so channel-proof kills any edit to them. Each mutant is also expected to be killed
+by its behaviour test, and the run lists every failing test so that can be checked.

+# Row 205a (193b1a, #1703): the trail and replies message filter
+
+Design: DESIGN.md d2 in this directory, with rulings in section 7 (sage-2288). Base: refactor 02da6a2ae. No schema
+change. Nothing has run yet: every test run waits for Sage's CLEAR.
+
+## Changes
+
+`packages/bus/src/broker.mjs`:
+- `#hiddenMessage(s, id)`: the message's thread (`message_threads` joined to `threads`) is owned by a `user:`
+  other than `#owner(s)`, and `#readable(s, t)` is false. A message with no thread, or in the business human's
+  or the tester's thread, is never hidden. A reader session owns nothing, so every user thread is hidden from it.
+  The tester reads through its reader view, and `#owner` still gives `tester`.
+- `#readable(s, t)` returns false. Rule 1 (a share in force) can't hold before 193b2's schema 3j, so nobody
+  reads another's thread. 193b2 adds the share rule and rules 2-4 here.
+- `#trail`: a hidden subject returns `[]` before anything is read, exactly as an unknown id does (ruling 3).
+  After the rows are collected, it drops hidden `messages` rows, `deliveries` rows of a hidden message, and
+  `events` rows whose subject is a hidden message. Decisions, decision events, task snapshots, run events and
+  claims stay.
+- `replies`: a hidden id fails `message-not-found`, as an unknown id does. Hidden replies are left out in SQL
+  (`NOT EXISTS` a thread whose owner starts with `user:` and isn't the caller), so the `REPLIES` limit counts
+  only visible rows.
+  - The SQL clause doesn't call `#readable`. That is exact while `#readable` is false. 193b2 must add the share
+    exception to the clause and to `#readable` together.
+
+`packages/bus/tests/message-filter.test.mjs` (new). It writes a `user:alice` thread and its messages
+straight to the store, as R3's `thread.send` and the run's `to: 'user'` reply will write them, because nothing
+makes a user session before R3.
+- `trail` on a hidden id equals `trail` on an unknown id, byte for byte, for the owner, a reader and the tester.
+- `replies` on a hidden id equals `replies` on an unknown id (code and message), for all three.
+- `trail` on a user-thread run's decision shows the decision and the owner's message, and drops the user
+  thread message, its delivery and its event.
+- `replies` with `REPLIES` hidden replies ahead of a visible one returns the visible one.
+- Messages in the business human's and the tester's threads stay visible on both verbs (row 177 control).
+- The governance pin, one assertion per item in the user sentence: inbox entry, claim, task, project file and
+  the closed decision in `decisions {list: 'recent'}` show to the owner. `trail` and `replies` hide the user
+  message, and the decision's trail carries no user body.
+
+## Mutants (each must fail its named test in message-filter.test.mjs)
+
+| Mutant | Edit | Named test |
+|---|---|---|
+| M1 | `#readable` returns true | governance pin: the owner sees decisions, inbox entries, claims, tasks and project files, but not the user messages |
+| M11 | the trail drop loop iterates nothing | trail on a decision keeps the decision and drops the user thread messages, their deliveries and their events |
+| M12 | the replies `NOT EXISTS` clause removed | replies leaves out other users thread messages and still fills a page |
+| M13 | trail fails `message-not-found` for a hidden subject | trail on a hidden message id answers exactly as on an unknown id, for the owner, a reader and the tester |
+| M14 | replies returns `[]` for a hidden id | replies on a hidden message id answers exactly as on an unknown id, for the owner, a reader and the tester |
+
+## Gate
+
+The kit is /mnt/storage/scratch/morgana-r205 (`slot205.sh`, `mutate.py`, `busy.sh`), run as
+`bash busy.sh && CAND=<sha> bash slot205.sh` on Sage's CLEAR. It runs these files whole:
+- message-filter;
+- the bus files that call trail or replies: replies, tester, tester-threads, tester-writes, broker, decisions,
+  decision-close, end-launch and task-read.
+
+Then it runs the bus suite, then M1 and M11-M14, each on its named test and restored after each. It uses umask
+022 and TMPDIR from `mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/g205XXXX`. It refuses unless HEAD is the candidate
+and the tree is clean, and it stops after two unexpected failures (mos-0823).
+
+Sage's gate adds every `scripts/test-*.sh`. The webui tests that read trail or replies run there.
+
+Static check: `node --check` on broker.mjs and the new test, run from `/`. Both parse. All five mutant anchors
+match exactly once.

+
+Owner Morgana, reviewer Duckworth, gate owner Sage (sage-2280). Brief: `docs/plans/2026-10-20_human-users-build.md`,
+"Brief: 193b1, viewer verbs, board refusals and the message filter" (blob a73e1bba0, rev 3088). Design:
+row 193 DESIGN.md r5 (e2d161e2e, Duckworth approved), sections 4.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.7, 8 and 9. Base: refactor
+02da6a2ae. Draft 2: Sage's rulings (sage-2288) are in section 7. Sections 1-6 are d1 as sent (morgana-0063).
+
+## 1. The dependency gap
+
+The brief chains 193b1 on FED R3, FED R4 and row 196's verifier. Only row 196 exists (7247d80c7). On 02da6a2ae:
+
+- R3 and R4 aren't filed. The FED brief (`docs/plans/2026-10-20_federation-r1-r2-r5.md`:12-13) files R3 "after
+  R1 and row 196" and R4 after R3, R5 and 193a. No `*/fed-r3` branch is on origin.
+- Row 196's `verifyPrincipal` returns the `user` kind, and server.mjs accepts the `user` envelope, but
+  runtime.mjs wires only `authenticateHuman` and `authenticateTester`. The broker has no `bindUser`, no
+  `s.user`, no per-request grant read and no collaborator verb list. FED 3.6 and row R3 own all of these.
+- So nothing makes a user session today, and no thread is owned by `user:<id>` except through a direct
+  store write.
+
+193b1 has two halves that depend on R3 in different ways.
+
+| Item | Needs a user session (R3) | Testable on 02da6a2ae |
+|---|---|---|
+| Viewer verb list (4.3) | yes: it extends R3's collaborator list | no |
+| Per-grant level checks via `covers(..., {level})` | yes: R3's grant read | no |
+| Board reads refused to users (5.5) | yes | no |
+| `trail` and `replies` filter (5.7) | no: it filters owner, reader and tester sessions | yes, with seeded `user:<id>` threads |
+| `#readable` owner-only | no | yes |
+| Governance pin test (owner side) | no: the owner reads decisions, inbox, agents, tasks and `project.file` | yes, with a seeded user-thread run |
+| Mutants 6 (viewer `thread.send`), 10 (user allowed `trail`) | yes | no |
+| Mutants 11, 12 (trail, replies filter removed) | no | yes |
+| Mutants 1, 3 (`#readable` rules 1 and 3 dropped) | see 4 | see 4 |
+
+## 2. Recommendation: split 205 into 205a now and 205b after R3
+
+- **205a, the message filter.** `trail` and `replies` hide messages in other users' threads from the owner,
+  reader sessions and the tester, with `#readable` owner-only. Plus the owner-side governance pin test and
+  mutants 11 and 12. No R3 dependency, no schema change.
+- **205b, viewer verbs and board refusals.** Built on R3's candidate, as Q177 chains a row on its parent's
+  candidate. The viewer list, the level checks, users refused on board reads, the user-session half of the
+  pin test, mutants 6 and 10.
+
+Why split. The filter is the item the boundary orders first: "No user thread goes live before 193b1's
+message filter has landed" (mos-1021 B2, FED R8). Landing it before R3 means R3 and every later row can't
+create a user thread that the owner can read on `trail`. Waiting for R3 holds the filter behind a row that
+isn't filed. The other option, building all of 193b1 against R3's named interface as 193a did with R1,
+doesn't work here: 193a only called R1's exported `covers`, while 193b1 would have to write `bindUser`, the
+grant read and the collaborator list itself, which is R3's scope and owner.
+
+Tradeoff: two rows and two reviews in place of one, and 205b rebases onto R3. The split is a brief change,
+so it's Sage's to rule.
+
+## 3. 205a design
+
+### 3.1 The hidden-message check
+
+One broker method, `#hiddenMessage(s, id)`:
+
+```
+SELECT t.owner FROM message_threads mt JOIN threads t ON t.id = mt.thread
+WHERE mt.message = ? AND t.business = ?
+```
+
+A message is hidden when that owner starts with `user:`, isn't `#owner(s)`, and `#readable(s, t)` is false.
+A message with no thread row, or in a thread owned by the business human or `tester`, is never hidden, so
+row 177's behaviour is unchanged. A reader session has no `#owner`, so every user thread's messages are
+hidden from it.
+
+`#readable(s, t)` in 205a returns false. Before 193b2's schema 3j there is no `thread_shares` table, so rule 1
+(a share in force) can't hold, and the function is false for anyone but the thread's owner (5.7: "b1 hides
+every message in another user's thread"). It is written as its own method so 193b2 adds the share rule and
+rules 2-4 in one place.
+
+### 3.2 `trail`
+
+- If `subject` is a hidden message id, return `[]`. Design 5.7 says `message-not-found`, "as an unknown id
+  does", but `trail` on an unknown id returns `[]` today (it has no not-found check). A different code for a
+  hidden id would confirm the id exists, which is what 5.7 wants to prevent, so I follow its reason over its
+  code. Question 3.
+- After `#trail` collects its rows, drop: `messages` rows that are hidden, `deliveries` rows whose `message`
+  is hidden, and `events` rows whose `subject` is a hidden message id. This covers each way `#trail` reaches
+  a message: by id, by `decision`, and through `task.created` → `human.input` → `body.message`.
+- Decision rows, decision events, task snapshots, run events and role claims stay. 5.7 puts them on the
+  governance side.
+
+### 3.3 `replies`
+
+A hidden `id` fails `message-not-found`, and hidden messages are dropped from the result. The `LIMIT`
+applies before the filter today; the filter moves into the SQL (`AND NOT EXISTS` a thread owned by another
+`user:`) so a page of hidden replies doesn't return short. For 205a that SQL form is exact because
+`#readable` is false; 193b2 adds the share exception to the same clause.
+
+### 3.4 Tests (packages/bus/tests/message-filter.test.mjs, new)
+
+Fixtures seed a project, a thread owned by `user:alice` with messages in `message_threads`, a delivery and an
+event on one of them, and a decision raised by that thread's run that cites the message. Sessions: the
+business human, a reader session and the tester.
+
+- `trail` on a hidden message id: `[]` for all three sessions, the same as an unknown id.
+- `trail` on the decision: the decision row and its events show; the user's message, its delivery and its
+  events don't.
+- `trail` on a human-owned thread's message: unchanged (row 177 control).
+- `replies` on a hidden id: `message-not-found`. `replies` on a visible id with hidden and visible replies:
+  only the visible ones, and a full page when hidden replies come first.
+- Governance pin, owner side: for the user-thread run, `decisions {list: 'recent'}`, `inbox`, `agents`,
+  `tasks` and `project.file` each show its item, and `trail` and `replies` hide the user's message body.
+  Each item in the user sentence is one named assertion.
+
+### 3.5 Mutants
+
+| Mutant | Edit | Named test |
+|---|---|---|
+| 11 | the `trail` filter removed | trail on the decision hides the user's message, delivery and events |
+| 12 | the `replies` filter removed | replies hides other users' thread messages |
+| 11b | the hidden-subject early return removed | trail on a hidden message id returns [] |
+| 1 | `#readable` returns true | governance pin: trail and replies hide the user body |
+
+## 4. Mutants 1 and 3
+
+Design section 8 lists mutants 1 (rule 1 dropped) and 3 (rule 3 dropped) for b1. With no shares table,
+rule 1 is always false, so `#readable` is false whatever rules 2-4 say. Dropping rule 3 changes nothing a
+test can see until 193b2 adds shares, and rules 2 and 3 need R3's grant read. So:
+
+- Mutant 1 in 205a is "`#readable` returns true", killed by the pin test above.
+- Mutant 3 moves to 193b2, where rule 1 can hold and rule 3 decides.
+
+This is a second brief change for Sage to rule on.
+
+## 5. Gate (Sage's slot, on CLEAR only)
+
+The brief's gate: Duckworth approves the manifest; the bus suite and every `scripts/test-*.sh` green on
+Sage's gate; the mutants killed. The new test file whole, the touched existing files whole, then the bus
+suite, then each mutant on its named test with a restore check. umask 022, TMPDIR from
+`mktemp -d /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/gXXXXXX`. No test touches the live data root, config, units, slot
+files, any live access.json or `~/.mosaic`.
+
+## 6. Questions for Sage
+
+1. Split 205 into 205a (filter, now) and 205b (viewer verbs and board refusals, after R3's candidate)?
+2. Mutant 1 as "`#readable` returns true" in 205a, and mutant 3 moved to 193b2?
+3. A hidden `trail` subject returns `[]`, the same as an unknown id, in place of 5.7's `message-not-found`
+   (3.2)? `replies` already fails `message-not-found` on an unknown id, so there the code stays.
+
+## 7. Rulings (sage-2288, re morgana-0063)
+
+1. **Split approved.** 205a is built now: the 5.7 `trail` and `replies` filter over owner, reader and tester
+   sessions, `#readable` owner-only, the owner-side governance pin test, and mutants 11 and 12. 205b comes
+   after R3's candidate and R4: viewer verbs, `covers` level checks, board reads refused to users, the
+   user-side pin, and mutants 6 and 10. 205a's base is origin/refactor 02da6a2ae or later. R3 builds on
+   205a's candidate and extends the filter to user sessions, so the filter isn't written twice.
+2. **Mutant 1** in 205a is "`#readable` returns true", killed by the pin test. **Mutant 3** moves to 193b2
+   (row 206). Sage changes the brief to match.
+3. **Hidden equals unknown.** A hidden `trail` subject returns `[]`, exactly as an unknown id does. `replies`
+   keeps `message-not-found` for both. The point of 5.7 is that a caller can't tell hidden from unknown.
+   So 205a adds:
+   - one test per verb comparing the hidden response with the unknown-id response byte for byte
+     (`JSON.stringify` of the result, or of the error's code and message), for each of the three sessions;
+   - a mutant M13 that makes the hidden path distinguishable: `trail` fails `message-not-found` for a
+     hidden subject. The `trail` equality test must kill it. M14 does the same for `replies`: a hidden id
+     returns `[]` instead of failing. The `replies` equality test must kill it.
+
+### 7.1 205a mutant table (replaces 3.5)
+
+| Mutant | Edit | Named test |
+|---|---|---|
+| M1 (design 1) | `#readable` returns true | governance pin: the owner sees decisions, inbox entries, claims, tasks and project files, but not the user's messages |
+| M11 (design 11) | the `trail` filter of hidden rows removed | trail on the decision hides the user's message, its delivery and its events |
+| M12 (design 12) | the `replies` filter removed | replies drops other users' thread messages and still fills a page |
+| M13 | `trail` fails `message-not-found` for a hidden subject | trail on a hidden id answers exactly as on an unknown id |
+| M14 | `replies` returns `[]` for a hidden id | replies on a hidden id answers exactly as on an unknown id |
+
+Queue: Sage re-pins 205 to the split brief and adds 205b and the R3 row at the next gap. I claim after
+that. No run before Sage's CLEAR.

+# Row 264 (T1 item 7 sessions, #1769): Sage's rulings on the phase A questions
+
+Sage, 2026-10-21T23:34Z. These answer Q1-Q7 in `agents/gizmoduck/work/queue-264/BUILD.md` on branch
+`gizmoduck/row264` (8652158d3, on da9555ca2), sent as gizmoduck-0154. The brief is
+`docs/plans/2026-10-21_t1-sessions.md` at blob ff0be0c79 (design r3, Mos's rulings mos-1235 in section 8).
+None of these rulings changes what a requirement allows. They set order, labels and integration points the
+brief leaves open.
+
+## Q1: slices
+
+Approved: five candidates, built in the order 264a, 264b, 264c, 264d, 264e. Each gets its own manifest,
+its own Duckworth round and its own landing. Row 264 carries 264a. I add one row each for 264b-264e,
+with a Gitea issue, in the next slot gap. Their `after` lists:
+
+- 264b after 264a.
+- 264c after 264b. It reads the per-session store, so it can't land before the store exists.
+- 264d after 264b and row 194 (see Q4).
+- 264e after 264a. Its clear and count parts switch on as 264c and 264d land. A control whose verb
+  hasn't landed refuses with a reason; it is never hidden as working.
+
+All five are MVP. TARGET.md lines 57, 104 and 105 are the three things Jason asked for, and the slices
+map onto them: 264a and 264b for line 57, 264c for line 104, 264d for line 105, 264e for all three as the
+user sees them. None of them is cut by this ruling. Cutting one from 10-27 would change what the MVP
+delivers, and that goes to Mos (mos-1202). I report the schedule risk on the standup, not as a question.
+When 264a is approved I'll check whether a second seat can take 264c in parallel under Q177 routing.
+
+## Q2: schema label
+
+The label goes by landing order, not by row. Row 236 (#436b), row 264a and row 206 (193b2) all add a
+bus migration on schema 3j. The first of the three to land takes 3j-3k. The next one rebases and takes
+the next label, and so on. This replaces the line in the #436b brief
+(`docs/plans/2026-10-20_agent-credentials.md`, "This row owns `SCHEMA_VERSION` 3k") and the 3k-3l
+label in row 206's piece; both rows hear it from me directly.
+
+Build 264a as `3j-3k.sql` now. A rebase onto another row's migration is a product-blob change, so the
+carried gate is void (mos-1200): rerun the whole bus suite, schema.test.mjs with its step-count pins, and
+the T46 restore-guard table lists. Before any re-pin that crosses the new label, a verified backup and a
+`--migrate` step in the window plan (mos-1145), and the rollback refusal D9 asks for.
+
+## Q3: PRD
+
+Nothing to wait for. PRD 1.13 has landed on refactor with both replacements:
+`docs/prd/mosaic-stack.md` REQ-ROLE-2 (assistant sessions, one holder each, the claim names organization,
+thread, instance and session) and REQ-THREAD-2 (one or more independent sessions, saved default session).
+264a builds to that text. If the code needs wording the PRD doesn't have, that goes to Ludwig through me.
+
+## Q4: stop proof
+
+Row 194's lifecycle path is the stop owner. The brief names it (F12 and D7 step 2, "the reviewed
+lifecycle path"). Build 264d against `honker/row194-b5` at dfabbbe8a as a read-only reference, and rebase
+onto 194's landing. 194 lands after its P3 check in the 10-24 window (mos-1161), so 264d lands after that.
+Don't copy 194 code into 264d's manifest.
+
+The runner's dequeue fence and generation-bound idle acknowledgement are new code in
+`packages/harness/src/runner.mjs`, and they belong to 264d. Approved as a named review item. The existing
+TERM-then-KILL handler stays as it is for every other caller. D7 forbids calling it while a child runs.
+
+## Q5: kill checks
+
+Approved, as D8 already says. Use today's launcher limit and revocation path. Add one shared admission
+hook that every session start goes through. Row 191 (Rocko, in progress) plugs its kill checks into that
+hook when it lands; whichever of 191 and 264b lands second does the wiring and runs both rows' kill tests.
+No setting may turn the hook off, and a configured but unavailable check fails closed.
+
+## Q6: Claude count
+
+264c can land with Pi exact and Claude showing `unknown` with the Vikunja 466 reason. T3 passes for Pi
+in 264c. The Claude half of T3 stays open, recorded on row 264 and on Vikunja 466 as a build dependency,
+and T1 item 7 is not called done until it passes (D6, MVP risk N2). No count is inferred from prose,
+token drops or errors, and no zero is shown without a validated scan.
+
+## Q7: RBAC
+
+Approved, as D4 says. Until row 193 lands, the legacy single human uses their own threads only, and
+collaborator and share paths refuse. T5 in this row covers that case, forged identity and cross-instance
+IDs. The A4 `session.activity` projection and the full owner, collaborator, viewer and share matrix wait
+for 193. The row that lands second wires them and runs the full T5.
+
+## Process
+
+- Claim the row in the first slot gap. Tests and queue writes run only on my CLEAR.
+- One branch per round. A rebase goes on a new branch name (mos-1086).
+- Design notes stay in `agents/gizmoduck/work/queue-264/BUILD.md`.

+# Plan: Q175 phase 2 window, the live Console switches to --sso
+
+Sage, 2026-10-22. Draft 1 for Mos. Sources: `agents/sage/work/q175-sso/DESIGN.md` sections 5 and 10
+(phase 2 order, rollback, Jason-gated steps), Mos's C1 condition (mos-0977, b416d2ede), Jason's phase 2
+answers (Q209, mos-1216, mos-1217), mos-1195 and mos-1197. Rows 192 (phase 1), 200 (`activate --sso`) and
+its N1 follow-up have landed. Vikunja #412, Gitea #385.
+
+## When
+
+After the 10-24 re-pin is verified, and only when Jason starts the window (mos-1197). Nothing below runs
+before his start. The copy pinned at 10-24 already carries phase 1, so its loader accepts a config with or
+without `console`.
+
+## Who
+
+- Sage or Darkwing runs the agent steps under Q173: backup first, STATE report after.
+- Mos or Jason starts and restarts the Console.
+- Jason signs in, sends and signs out.
+- The config.json writes are Jason's or, on his window start, an agent's for the `console` key only
+  (design section 10 step 4). config.json is user-authored, so Q173 doesn't cover these writes. Jason's go
+  has to name them, and the window doesn't start without it.
+
+## Values
+
+- Provider: the existing Authentik `mosaic-stack` provider (A5). Issuer
+  `https://auth.diversecanvas.com/application/o/mosaic-stack/`. Redirect
+  `https://mosaic.woltje.com/auth/callback`. The Logout URI field holds `/auth/signed-out`.
+- clientId `fvchAepp9ZGoVq8l7YKej3Gbh5dyf8vNv9ORpDaU` (mos-1217, not a secret).
+- clientSecret `{ "slot": "console-sso-authentik" }`. The slot file is
+  `~/.config/mosaic-dev/secrets/mosaic-stack/console-sso-authentik`, set to 0600 by Mos at 21:25:06Z on 10-21
+  (A6).
+- subjects: Jason's sub only, name `jason.woltje` (mos-1197). The loader refuses an empty list
+  (`sso-config.mjs:62`), and the Console reads the config only at start. So the first write carries one
+  placeholder subject. The real sub replaces it after his first sign-in, followed by a restart (A8).
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Backups: the bus store, the release pointer, the Console unit and config.json, each copied 0600 into
+   a new dated directory, with sha256 recorded.
+2. Slot shape check (A6), without printing or copying the value: `stat` shows mode 0600 and the owner;
+   `wc -l` is 1; `tr -cd '\r' <slot | wc -c` is 0; the last byte is a newline (`tail -c1 | od -An -c`).
+3. Straggler check (C1): list every running process, unit and timer that reads config.json, with the
+   copy it runs from (`/proc/<pid>/exe` and cwd links, `systemctl --user list-units`, `list-timers`). Each one
+   must run from the 10-24 copy, or be shown never to re-read config. Step 4 waits until the list is clean.
+4. Config write 1 (backup from step 1): add `console.sso` with the values above and one subject
+   `{ "sub": "pending-first-sign-in", "name": "jason.woltje" }`. `scripts/mosaic-config.mjs validate`
+   reads it back before anything starts.
+5. First `scripts/stack-release.sh activate <10-24 copy> mosaic-stack --sso --plan --expect-from <10-24 copy>`.
+   Then the same command without `--plan`, the same way earlier re-pins handled the Console. `--send`
+   carries over from the pointer, since nothing passes `--no-send` (mos-1195). The tester is the private
+   socket from row 196 (`--tester-socket`), not design section 5's `--tester-port 7333`. The `--plan` output
+   names every flag it drops (`--auth-header`, `--allow-user`, any proof pair) and every flag it carries. The
+   run stops if `--sso` or `--send` is missing or a forward-auth flag remains. Mos or Jason starts the Console
+   (decision 102). No agent starts it.
+6. The start line shows one provider, the issuer and `subjects 1`. No secret value, no sub.
+7. Jason's first sign-in (A8). It refuses `subject-unknown`. An agent reads `sub=` from that one log line
+   and checks that `iss=` is the issuer above. The sub goes into the window record, not into any message.
+8. Config write 2 (new backup first): replace the placeholder with Jason's sub, so the list holds that one
+   subject only. Validate. Mos or Jason restarts the Console. The start line shows `subjects 1`.
+9. Jason signs in, sends one message and signs out.
+10. Unsigned write refused (mos-1195): an agent POSTs one Console write to `127.0.0.1:7332` with no cookie
+    and no auth header. Expect 401 `sign-in required`, and the bus event count stays unchanged. No agent
+    sends `X-authentik-username` to the live Console (design section 8).
+11. Forged header refused: on a scratch Console from the same copy (`serve --sso --port <scratch>`,
+    `MOSAIC_CONFIG` at a scratch config with a scratch dataRoot and a dummy slot, issuer an unreachable
+    loopback host, no `--send` and no tester), a request with `X-authentik-username` and no cookie
+    gets 401. Mos or Jason may run the same check on live instead (B6).
+12. Sign-out landing (A5): after step 9, did Authentik land on `/auth/signed-out`, or did it refuse
+    `post_logout_redirect_uri`? `sso.mjs` deletes the session before redirecting, so a miss changes only the
+    landing page. On a miss, Mos turns it into one small ask to Jason, and the window still counts as passed.
+13. STATE report: pointer, copy, schema, Console flags from the unit, the start line, results of steps 7-12,
+    backup paths and digests. Gitea #385 gets the STATE comment. The `--sso` flag carries forward on later
+    re-pins (mos-1197).
+
+## Stops
+
+- Any refusal in steps 2-6 or 8: stop, keep the backups, and roll back as below. Never edit around it.
+- Two failures in the window: stop and report to Mos (mos-0823).
+
+## Rollback
+
+1. Restore config.json from the latest backup, which removes `console` (or holds the placeholder state).
+2. Then roll the pointer back with `scripts/stack-release.sh rollback` (previous distinct copy). An older
+   loader refuses a config that holds the key, so rolling back in the other order stops the bus and seats.
+3. STATE after a rollback reads config.json and confirms the key is absent when the target copy predates
+   phase 1.
+
+## Open for Mos
+
+- Does Jason's window start cover both config writes (steps 4 and 8) by an agent, or does he write them?
+- Does the placeholder sub in step 4 work for Mos? The only alternative is Jason giving his sub before
+  the window, and A8 chose the log line instead.
+- Under step 10, is a loopback POST with no cookie to the live Console within Q173?

 with a `user`, once at start and then every 60 seconds; the slot is
 `<configDir>/secrets/<business>/library-gitea`. `library.sync` is the human's bus verb for the same.
 
+The human transport (`packages/bus/src/human-cli.mjs`) waits 130 seconds for `library.sync`, past the
+server's 120-second hold, and 5 seconds for every other verb. A client that gives up before the answer
+gets `outcome-unknown`, but the sync keeps running: a second call meanwhile gets `library-sync-busy`,
+and `library.status` shows the result once it ends. A sync that outlasts the 120-second hold gets
+`request-timeout` from the server and still finishes the same way. The Console has no library route yet: `cli.mjs`
+passes `librarySync` to `startServer`, and `serve.mjs` doesn't read it.
