+# Row 232 (I1): stack-release external units and bundle copies
+
+Brief: `docs/plans/2026-10-20_installer-rows.md` section I1, blob `f35e7e57daee` (commit ad6f0be7a). Gitea
+#1734, Vikunja P19 #432. Owner Darkwing, reviewer Filbert, gate owner Sage. Design input: row 195 DESIGN r6,
+`agents/darkwing/work/queue-195/DESIGN.md` at b7239bb66 (approved in duckworth-0055). Where the brief and
+r6 differ, the brief wins. sage-1561 ruled where the stack user's `stack-release.sh` runs: from its own
+clone of the release bundle, so `check_target`, the plan's commit list and status drift are unchanged and
+nothing adds `safe.directory`.
+
+## Files
+
+Base: cb5fdb064 (row 199's landing, on top of row 200's 9e1085816). Branch `darkwing/row232-r1`. The first
+build, 0af0c73c6 on `darkwing/row232`, sat on 00d4cc1f6 (row 190); row 200 landed first, so this one is
+rebased onto it (see D9 and D10).
+
+- `scripts/stack-release.sh`: `--units user|external`, the `sc` and `jctl` backend, `confirm`, `revert`,
+  `gate --since`, `rollback --to`, `--plan --expect-from`, the external gate (start floor, PM check from
+  `launches list`), `external-pm`, and the `awaiting units:` status line.
+- `scripts/stack-copy.sh`: `check --units external`, `copy --bundle FILE SHA`, `wrapper ID --create`.
+- `packages/cli/tests/stack-release-external.test.mjs` (new, 25 tests).
+- `packages/cli/tests/stack-release-fixture.mjs` (new): the helpers `stack-release.test.mjs` defined, moved
+  so both files share them. See deviation D1.
+- `packages/cli/tests/stack-release.test.mjs`: the helpers leave and one import line comes in. The 74 tests
+  have the same names and the same bodies as on the base.
+- `packages/cli/tests/stack-copy.test.mjs`: three new `row 232:` tests and a wider `node:fs` import.
+- `docs/TOOLS.md`: the stack-copy usage block and three paragraphs, the stack-release usage block, and a new
+  subsection "Root-owned units (`--units external`, row 232)".
+- `packages/cli/README.md`: one paragraph.
+- This file.
+
+The worktree's `node_modules` symlink is not part of the candidate.
+
+## User mode is unchanged
+
+Every `systemctl` call goes through `sc` and every `journalctl` call through `jctl`. Under `user` they
+are `systemctl --user "$@"` and `journalctl --user "$@"`. Under `external`, `sc` allows only `show`,
+`is-active` and `list-units`, and `jctl` returns 1, so an external run can't start, stop, install or read
+the journal even through a path the tests miss.
+
+Two tests hold the brief's "every command line and every byte of output":
+
+- `user mode: every systemctl call carries --user, and activate, rollback and check make the base's
+  calls`. A fixture repo gets the base's two scripts from `git show cb5fdb064:`. The same activate,
+  rollback and `stack-copy.sh check` run from both trees, and the recorded argv (with the fixture root and
+  port replaced by placeholders) must match line for line. Every call carries `--user`.
+- `user mode: a default activate --plan prints the base's bytes`, for four plans.
+
+The base output is produced live from the base blobs, not stored as a fixture file. See deviation D3.

+## r6 section 7, test by test
+
+All in `stack-release-external.test.mjs` unless named.
+
+| r6 :742-812 item | Test |
+|---|---|
+| `units-running` (N4), store, log and TAKEN left | `units-running (N4) refuses while a unit is active...`; also checks that `failed` counts as down and that the Console is checked first |
+| activate leaves the pointer, writes `AWAITING-UNITS` and a backup | `activate stages: ...`, which also checks the set's file list, `UNITS.sha256`, no `--user`, no journal call and `status` |
+| `open-activation` with zero, two, the wrong copy, one not open | `confirm and revert refuse open-activation ...` |
+| `confirm` polls: 3 s fails at `--timeout 1`, passes at `--timeout 10` | `confirm polls: bus status good after 3 s fails ...` and `confirm polls to a pass ...` |
+| `stale-start` floor with `started` at .900 | `stale-start: @1792540799 fails ...` and `stale-start is a gate code ...` |
+| `confirm` pass writes pointer, ok, removes marker; timeout writes `FAILED` and exits 1 | the two polling tests |
+| `activation-failed` when `FAILED` exists | `confirm polls: ... FAILED then refuses activation-failed` |
+| lines carry the started op, from, to, activation and backup | `sameAsStarted` in every confirm test, and sequence 7 |
+| `gate` (N2) with and without `--since` | `gate (N2, A2f): ...` and the usage test |
+| `--plan --expect-from` (N5), activate and `rollback --to` | sequence 7 |
+| A3 order: capture-failed, marker-failed, wrapper failure after migrate | `A3 order: ...` and sequence 2 |
+| refusals log no activation; `interrupted` unchanged | `open-activation` test and sequence 5 |
+| PM check: one, none, two, early, not live, other business, other instance; no journal call | `the external PM check reads launches list ...` (modes '', coder, none, twolive, early, dead, other) and `journalCalls` in every external test |
+| `external-pm` | `pm-on and activate --pm-after-harness refuse external-pm` |
+| `revert` restores TAKEN only after a migration | `revert puts the wrapper back and leaves the store ...` and sequences 2 and 8 |
+| `confirm --rollback` per cause, `unrecorded`, `rollback-failed`, mismatch | sequences 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8, and `confirm --rollback refuses rollback-mismatch, and logs rollback-failed ...` |
+| sequences 1-8 | `sequence 1:` to `sequence 8:`, each ending with the `closed` check (one started and one result line, empty `interrupted`, no marker or `FAILED`, a following `--plan` that doesn't refuse `interrupted-run`) |
+| `rollback --to` refuses not-previous; `rollback --restore` finds an external backup | sequence 7, and `confirm --rollback after a --restore swap ...` |
+| `gate` writes nothing | the `gate (N2, A2f)` test and sequence 4 compare the log, the pointer and the state tree |
+| `confirm`, `revert`, `gate`, `--to` refuse without `--units external` | `confirm, revert, gate, --to and --expect-from need --units external ...` |
+| default path: every call carries `--user`; default `--plan` bytes | the two user-mode tests above |
+
+The brief's additions, in `stack-copy.test.mjs`:
+
+- `row 232: copy --bundle copies a SHA the bundle's refactor reaches, byte-identical to copy SHA, and
+  refuses the rest`: a short SHA, a missing file, a symlink, a bundle that fails `git bundle verify`, a
+  bundle with no `refs/heads/refactor`, a SHA not in the bundle, and a SHA the bundle carries on another
+  branch that refactor doesn't reach. The bundle copy's tree matches `copy SHA`'s byte for byte, and the
+  `release:` and `bundle sha256:` lines are checked.
+- `row 232: wrapper --create writes the first wrapper only, the same bytes wrapper ID writes, and refuses
+  over any file`, a symlink included. Without `--create` a missing wrapper still refuses.
+- `row 232: check --units external reads the system units, the default reads the user units`.
+
+## Mutants
+
+`mutants.sh` in my scratch (not committed, it edits the worktree), 17 mutants: r6's re-pin list (:817-838)
+minus the three `case1-repin.sh` ones, plus the brief's two. Each one applies exact replacements after a
+checked backup, runs `bash -n`, runs its named killers, restores the file and checks its sha256. Two
+controls run first with no change: the whole external file, and stack-copy's `row 232:` tests.
+
+| Mutant | Killers |
+|---|---|
+| m01 `confirm` writes the pointer on a gate failure | `confirm polls: bus status` |
+| m02 `gate_once` in place of `gate` | `confirm polls to a pass`, `stale-start is a gate code` |
+| m03 PM check counts any instance | `external PM check` |
+| m04 PM check drops the `startedAt` bound | `external PM check` |
+| m05 `confirm` takes the newest `AWAITING-UNITS` | `open-activation` |
+| m06 `rollback --to` skips the comparison | `sequence 7:` |
+| m07 the default path drops `--user` from one call (`is-active`) | `user mode: every systemctl` |
+| m08 the timeout writes r4's interim `rollback pending` line | `confirm polls: bus status`, `sequence 1:`, `sequence 5:` |
+| m09 `AWAITING-UNITS` last, after the wrapper | `sequence 2:` |
+| m10 a refusal names the open activation | `sequence 5:`, `open-activation` |
+| m11 `stale-start` is a refusal | `stale-start is a gate code` |
+| m12 `revert` restores without `MIGRATING` | `revert puts the wrapper back` |
+| m13 `confirm` logs op `confirm` | `sequence 7:`, `confirm polls to a pass` |
+| m14 `MIGRATING` after the migration | `sequence 8:` |
+| m15 `gate` takes its floor from the log without `--since` | `gate (N2` |
+| m16 `copy --bundle` skips the reachability check | stack-copy `row 232:` |
+| m17 `wrapper --create` overwrites | stack-copy `row 232:` |
+
+## Deviations and choices
+
+D1. The shared helpers moved to a new file, `packages/cli/tests/stack-release-fixture.mjs`. The brief's
+files list names `stack-release.test.mjs` "where a shared helper moves" but not a destination. Importing
+from the other test file would run its 74 tests twice, so the helpers need a module of their own.
+
+D2. The fixture's T17 check (what a run may never remove) now exempts a rollback set's `AWAITING-UNITS` and
+`FAILED`. `confirm` removes both when it closes the activation (r6 A5 and R4). User mode writes neither, so
+user-mode runs check exactly what they did.
+
+D3. The user-mode argv and `--plan` tests read the base's scripts with `git show cb5fdb064:` rather than
+storing their output as a fixture file. A later row that changes user-mode output on purpose moves the
+`BASE` constant in the test to its own base, or the test fails. I chose this over a stored fixture because
+a stored copy can drift from the base without anyone noticing.
+
+D4. `marker-failed` is reached by making `state/stack-rollback` unwritable. r6 says "an existing `$RS`", but
+`next_activation` never picks a taken name, so no test can make the run meet an existing `$RS`. The
+exclusive `mkdir` is still what refuses.
+
+D5. The stale-start polling case turns the enter time to `@1792540800`, not r6's `@1792540805`, with the
+started line at 1792540800.900. That also checks that the floor is the whole second, so .900 doesn't push it
+to 1792540801.
+
+D6. No fake `sudo` or `case2-unit.sh`. r6's sequences ran under them because r6 had `case1-repin.sh` drive
+the steps, and that script is I3's. Here the test plays root: it stops and starts the fake system units and
+installs with the existing `bus-service.sh` and `webui-service.sh` stand-ins, between the real
+`stack-release.sh` calls, on one log.
+
+D7. The fake marker in the `open-activation` test is named `20000101T000000Z-<C1 prefix>` so it sorts
+before the real one. A marker that sorted after it would leave m05 (newest marker) alive.
+
+D8. m10 sets `ACT` inside `open_activation`, where r6's wording ("ACT set before the checks") lands in this
+code. `ACT` is set only after every check in `confirm`.
+
+D9. Row 200's `--sso` is a usage error under `--units external`, with the proof flags, `--no-proof` and
+`--no-send`. It is a Console flag, and root's Console unit carries the Console flags; the script under
+external renders no Console line and never calls `console_for_target`, so `sso_checks` doesn't run there
+either. The usage text, the TOOLS.md bullet and the external usage test name it.
+
+D10. Row 200's `config_checks` runs under `--units external` too, after `plugin_checks`, in both the
+`--plan` and run paths of `activate` and `rollback --to`. It checks the target's loader against the stack
+user's `config.json`, which the bus on a VM still reads, so a `console` key the target refuses would break
+root's bus start the same way. The cost is one more refusal (`config-console-key`) an external run can
+print; I took it over a bus that fails after root's start. The rebase changed no user-mode line: the
+conflicts were the `SSO=0` globals line, the `plan` body (row 200's `SSO_PLAN` line sits in the user
+branch) and the two `--plan` lines that gained `config_checks`. In the tests, row 200's fixture lines
+(the loaders, `sso-config.mjs` and the `--sso` cli.mjs line for C1 and C) moved into
+`stack-release-fixture.mjs` with the rest of the copy setup, and the `ALGS` import stays in
+`stack-release.test.mjs`, which T57 uses.
+
+## duckworth-0055's notes on r6 (brief line 169)
+
+Duckworth's r6 approval (REVIEW-r5.md at 23f5520b5) carried two notes.
+
+- N1, A2's stop timeout under `gate --since`. A unit that never stopped keeps its old `ActiveEnterTimestamp`,
+  so `gate --since` fails it with `stale-start`, and the run ends at exit 2 with root stopping the units.
+  That is intended: a unit that won't stop is a fair reason to stop. In I1 this is the gate code and its
+  polling (`stale-start: @1792540799 fails ...`, `gate (N2, A2f)`, m11). The run sheet's A2f line and the
+  re-pin test that points "exits 1 with OLD's gate passing" at an A3 exit 3 belong to I3, which owns
+  `scripts/stack-upgrade.sh` and `docs/guides/host-run-sheet.md`. I'll name both in the I3 build.
+- N2, the claude path under `/opt/mosaic-stack` (gosalyn-0058, sage-1522). I1 doesn't touch it. Under
+  `--units external` the script checks no claude pin of its own (`no-claude-pin` applies only to user
+  mode), because root's unit carries it. The `--claude` value, the managed-settings reasoning, F6 and the
+  run sheet's claude step go to I2 and I3.
+
+## Run environment
+
+Worktree `/mnt/storage/scratch/darkwing-r232`, `TMPDIR=/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp/r232`, node from PATH.
+One external file run takes about 94 s.
+
+## Results
+
+Singles on the rebased candidate, before the gate:
+
+| File | Tests | Pass | Fail |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `packages/cli/tests/stack-release-external.test.mjs` | 25 | 25 | 0 |
+| `packages/cli/tests/stack-copy.test.mjs` | 16 | 16 | 0 |
+| `packages/cli/tests/stack-release.test.mjs` (row 200's T57 included) | 192 | 192 | 0 |
+| `packages/cli/tests/stack-instances.test.mjs` | 23 | 23 | 0 |
+| `packages/webui/tests/pinned-copy.test.mjs` | 10 | 10 | 0 |
+| `packages/cli/tests/channel-recovery.test.mjs` (imports `channel-fixture.mjs`, which names the scripts) | 1 | 1 | 0 |
+| `packages/cli/tests/host.test.mjs` (reads `packages/cli/README.md`) | 42 | 42 | 0 |
+
+These are every test file that reads `stack-release.sh` or `stack-copy.sh` (a grep of `packages/*/tests` and
+`scripts/`). None of them pins a sha256 of a changed file. `packages/cli/tests/host.test.mjs` reads
+`packages/cli/README.md` for a unit file name; this row only adds a paragraph there. The grep and the runs
+were repeated on the rebased tree on 2026-10-21; the reader set is the same. A dry run of `mutants.sh`
+matches each of the 17 replacements once on the rebased scripts.
+
+### Gate, 2026-10-21, Sage's slot (sage-1618)
+
+Candidate a0ffabc3f on `darkwing/row232-r1`, run by `~/darkwing-scratch/r232/gate.sh`: the cli suite, then
+every `scripts/test-*.sh`, one after another, stopping at the first failure. busy.sh passed at 01:07:49Z
+after Launchpad's single `stack-release.test.mjs` run ended. The gate stopped at the first one, so the
+chain waited for that PID to exit and checked again. The EXIT trap removed the compose network; no
+container was left.
+
+| Step | Time (UTC) | Result |
+|---|---|---|
+| `packages/cli`, `node --test tests/*.test.mjs` | 01:07:50 to 01:17:53 | 561 pass, 0 fail, 0 skipped |
+| `scripts/test-auth.sh` | 01:17:53 to 01:17:54 | 15 passed, 0 failed |

+| `scripts/test-task.sh` | 01:19:51 to 01:20:44 | 98 passed, 0 failed |
+
+### Mutants, 2026-10-21, same slot
+
+`~/darkwing-scratch/r232/mutants.sh`, right after the gate. Both controls (the external file whole, and
+stack-copy's `^row 232: ` tests) exited 0 on the unmutated tree. Each mutant was applied after a checked
+backup and a syntax check, ran its killers from the table above, and was put back with its sha256
+checked. The script stops on any restore mismatch, and it ran to its end.
+
+| Mutant | Killer exit | Result |
+|---|---|---|
+| m01 pointer on gate failure | 1 | killed |
+| m02 gate once | 1 | killed |
+| m03 PM from any instance | 1 | killed |
+| m04 no startedAt check | 1 | killed |
+| m05 newest marker | 1 | killed |
+| m06 --to not compared | 1 | killed |
+| m07 one call without --user | 1 | killed |
+| m08 interim pending line | 1 | killed |
+| m09 marker written last | 1 | killed |
+| m10 refusal names the open activation | 1 | killed |
+| m11 stale-start refuses | 1 | killed |
+| m12 revert always restores | 1 | killed |
+| m13 confirm op | 1 | killed |
+| m14 MIGRATING after migrate | 1 | killed |
+| m15 gate floor from the log | 1 | killed |
+| m16 bundle reachability unchecked | 1 | killed |
+| m17 --create overwrites | 1 | killed |
+
+17 of 17 killed, 01:22:16 to 01:24:32Z. I read the logs for m01 and m09, two of the quick kills: each failed on
+its named test's assertion (m09 on `AWAITING-UNITS` in sequence 2), not on a load error.
+
+## Round 2: rebase onto 8fede5fc6 (sage-1673)
+
+Rebase only. Before the landing gate, a check of BASE..HEAD on the manifest paths found that row 230
+(c8bc5cf4c) had changed one of them after the round 1 base, cb5fdb064. Sage ruled a re-round with a
+scoped review, the same shape as row 210 round 3.
+
+Branch `darkwing/row232-r2`: the two round 1 commits, a0ffabc3f and 84f1a91e6, cherry-picked onto
+8fede5fc6 with no conflict, then this section. No code or test changed.
+
+- `git merge-tree --write-tree origin/refactor darkwing/row232-r1` (refactor at 8fede5fc6) gives tree
+  837bde79236c with no conflict. The cherry-picked tip before this section has the same tree.
+- `packages/cli/README.md` is a clean 3-way merge. Row 230's hunk is at lines 710-717 (the session credential
+  paragraph); this row's is a new paragraph at 773. With `git patch-id --stable`, the README diff from r1 to
+  r2 is 02b679e2, the same as row 230's README diff `cb5fdb064..8fede5fc6`. This row's README diff is
+  c395ecd2 on both bases (`cb5fdb064..r1` and `8fede5fc6..r2`).
+- The seven code, test and doc paths other than the README hash the same as in manifest 7a3b4ea1, which
+  Filbert approved in round 1: `docs/TOOLS.md`, `packages/cli/tests/stack-copy.test.mjs`,
+  `packages/cli/tests/stack-release-external.test.mjs`, `packages/cli/tests/stack-release-fixture.mjs`,
+  `packages/cli/tests/stack-release.test.mjs`, `scripts/stack-copy.sh`, `scripts/stack-release.sh`.
+  This file also matched until this section was appended. Its other lines are unchanged.
+- The one test that reads the README, `host.test.mjs:855`, looks for the unit's `EnvironmentFile=` line.
+  That line is unchanged context in row 230's hunk.
+- No row 230 test reads `stack-release.sh` or `stack-copy.sh`, and no test of this row reads a row 230 file.
+
+Nothing was run for this round. The landing gate runs on the r2 tip on Sage's slot.
+
+Follow-up, doc-only (sage-1673): `scripts/case2-unit.sh:108` and `scripts/case2-precheck.sh:157` cite
+`scripts/stack-copy.sh:8` and `:22` for `COPIES` and `copy_root`. With this row those lines are `:10` and
+`:26`. Only comments are affected and no test reads them. Row 233 doesn't touch those scripts, so the fix

+# Row 230: C2-13a unit render and host precheck
+
+Gitea #1732. Vikunja #416 (track T2). Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md, section "C2-13a",
+blob f6b4933f0f47 (01b40d357, sage-1562). Base: 00d4cc1f6 (row 190). Reviewer: Webby. Gate: the cli
+suite plus every scripts/test-*.sh.
+
+## What ships
+
+`scripts/case2-unit.sh` renders `[email protected]` and `mosaic-webui.service` from the two existing
+templates into the system unit directory, for the default instance only. It writes each unit through
+a temp file at mode 0644, runs `daemon-reload`, enables both units, starts the bus and then the
+Console. If the bus fails to start, the script refuses and leaves the Console unstarted. Both units
+get `WantedBy=multi-user.target`, and neither gets `After=` or `Wants=`. The script never links a unit
+file into place. A re-install refuses unless each installed unit passes the same checks, both units
+name one copy, and each equals the render apart from the copy id.
+
+`--profile library` (the default) refuses `--pm`, `--claude`, `--tester-port` and `--sso`, and needs
+the preview proxy flags plus the proof pair. `--profile factory` refuses the six proxy flags and takes
+`--pm` and `--claude`. Both refuse `--checkout` and `--board`.
+
+`scripts/case2-precheck.sh --business ID [--profile factory|library]` runs as `<user>`. It prints one
+`ok` or `REFUSED` line per check and exits 1 if any check refused. It prints variable names only,
+never values.
+
+`packages/cli/README.md:713` now says nothing creates the session env file, only the Case 2 precheck
+reads it, and the precheck prints only variable names (webby-0034 N2, webby-0035).
+
+## Deviations for review
+
+Sage accepted all six for the build (sage-1570). Webby rules on each.
+
+1. The precheck takes `--business ID`. The brief names no other way to find the business file.
+2. A run root `<dataRoot>/launches/<business>` that doesn't exist passes, with a note that the first
+   launch creates it at 0700 (session.mjs:47 and newRun). A symlink refuses, and so does an existing
+   entry that isn't a 0700 directory.
+3. The claude marker check passes when the reply holds the marker and input plus cache tokens are at
+   most 2000. **The 2000 ceiling is unmeasured.** The tests use fakes at 40 and 9000 tokens. Measuring
+   it on a real claude belongs to row 195's install run, not this row.
+4. A non-root test can't create a root-owned proof file. For the "proof not owned by the user" case,
+   the fake getent reports another uid for the user, so the user's own file reads as someone else's.
+5. The unit script refuses `%h` left in any unit, rendered or installed. A system unit expands `%h`
+   to root's home. The render replaces every `%h`, so the test edits an installed unit to reach it.
+6. With `--auth-header X-Authentik-Uid`, the allowed user must be 64 lower-case hex characters (lead
+   decision 101). The test covers both the refusal and the pass.
+
+## Tests (packages/cli/tests/case2-unit.test.mjs, 30 cases after round 2)
+
+The tests use a scratch unit directory and a scratch home, plus fake systemctl, getent, sudo, id,
+node, bwrap and claude. They never touch /etc/systemd, ~/.mosaic-dev, ~/.config/mosaic-dev or a
+live unit. Every precheck case asserts its output doesn't hold the fixture key.
+
+- Unit: the clean library render, PATH for a node outside the default list and for /usr/bin/node, the
+  systemctl order, a failed bus start, no `systemctl link`, factory `--pm` and `--claude` rendered and
+  absent, re-install to another copy, edits to an installed unit, template restrictions,
+  EnvironmentFile placement, unknown tokens, PermissionsStartOnly and `+`/`-+` Exec prefixes,
+  symlinked unit paths, bad `--node`, re-install drift, a split copy pair, bad copy ids, every library
+  and factory flag refusal, and bad `--claude`.
+- Precheck: a good host, node older than 24, more than one group, sudo succeeding, XDG_DATA_HOME,
+  HOME mismatch, a run root mode, a bad config, bwrap failing, the port floor at or below the Console
+  port, a missing Console unit, bus.tester per profile, profile-library-business, the claude check
+  (no route, replaces, appends, missing, the unit's MOSAIC_CLAUDE_BIN beating PATH), and the session
+  env file (missing, 0644, symlink, empty, emptied by a later line, quoted).
+- Bind (mos-1100): inside `binds()` plus `sandboxArgv()`, a bind on port 980 gets EACCES, and a bind
+  on a free port of 1024 or above succeeds. The test fails if the host's floor is at or below 980.
+
+## Verification
+
+Round 1 singles, run before the gate: case2-unit.test.mjs passes 28/28 with no skips, and host.test.mjs (it
+reads the cli README) passes 42/42. No test pins a hash of the README. No other test reads the two
+scripts.
+
+## Round 2 (webby-0046, sage-1589, sage-1590, sage-1591)
+
+Base: origin/refactor (rebased from 00d4cc1f6; the 15 commits between touch none of the five paths
+or the two unit templates). Branch gosalyn/c2-13a-r2.
+
+B1. The precheck now has a case for each refusal Webby named: the user missing from passwd (:77),
+a business file that is unparsable, missing or fails the schema (:137), a run root that is a symlink
+to a 0700 directory (:151), a Console ExecStart with no --port (:179), an unreadable port floor
+(:180), a claude reply without the marker (:223) and a claude reply that isn't JSON (:224). The fake
+claude gained `nomarker` and `text` kinds. The no-claude-code case and the missing-claude case share
+a PATH without `/usr/bin/claude` (`pathWithoutClaude`), so the no-claude-code case now shows a host
+with no claude passes.
+
+N1 (ruled in for this round). Before writing, `case2-unit.sh` asks `systemctl is-active` for both
+units. For each unit that was running, it prints that the unit is still on its old copy, never
+"started", and then that the bus and Console must restart together to reach the new copy. A unit
+that wasn't running gets "started ... on copy". A fresh install prints the round 1 line. The script
+still restarts nothing. The new test covers both units running and only the Console running.
+
+N4. The README line at :713 is rewrapped.
+
+Mutants, run in Sage's slot on a scratch worktree, one branch each: :77, :137, :151, :179, :180,
+:223, :224, a precheck that refuses with no claude on PATH (for the no-claude-code case), and an
+install that prints "started" for a running unit (sage-1591).
+
+## Carry items for row 195
+
+- N1's restart. Row 195 restarts the bus and Console together after a re-install over running
+  units, as the install line now asks.
+- N2. A system drop-in check like `bus-service.sh:122-145`, so a drop-in under
+  `[email protected]/` or `mosaic-webui.service.d/` can't change what the checked unit runs.
+- N3. The precheck finds claude on the shell PATH. The bus unit's `PATH=` is what a session uses
+  when `MOSAIC_CLAUDE_BIN` is unset, so the check should search that PATH.

+§ "row 199 follow-up N1", blob dca67d310e1b. Source: Duckworth's row 199 round 1 note N1
+(duckworth-0068). Base: `cb5fdb064` (row 199's landing). Reviewer Duckworth, gate owner Sage.
+
+## The defect
+
+`checkPublish` opens a ticket after checking the decision is unspent. The decision is spent only at
+`recordPublish`, which runs after the bus process has pushed. Two `checkPublish` calls on one decision
+therefore both get tickets, and both push. With different branches, the commit lands on two fork refs:
+`refs/heads/<user>/feat` and `refs/heads/<user>/other`. The second `recordPublish` then refuses
+`decision-consumed`, but by then its push has already reached the fork.
+
+## The fix, and why this option
+
+`checkPublish` refuses `publish-busy` when an open ticket in `#publishes` holds the same business and
+decision (`packages/bus/src/broker.mjs:1038-1040`). It runs after the authority and fact checks, so a
+spent decision still refuses `decision-consumed` first.
+
+The brief's other option, rechecking `#spent` in `publishTarget`, doesn't close the race. Both tickets
+reach `publishTarget` before either push ends, and nothing is spent until `recordPublish`. So both
+rechecks pass and both pushes run. The only state that exists while the first push runs is the open
+ticket, so the check reads that.
+
+A refusal (`publishRefused`) drops the ticket and leaves the decision unspent, so a retry on the same
+decision gets a new ticket. That is row 199's behaviour, unchanged. A within-role publish has no
+decision and isn't affected.
+
+## Tests
+
+- `packages/bus/tests/publish.test.mjs:186`. A second ticket refuses `publish-busy`, on the same branch
+  and on another. After `publishRefused` the retry gets a ticket and a third refuses busy. After
+  `recordPublish` there is one `action.allowed` for git.push.remote and the next call refuses
+  `decision-consumed`. Another agent's decision on the same task isn't held.
+- `packages/cli/tests/publish-socket.test.mjs:269`. End to end through the git socket, the bus runtime
+  and the TLS fake Gitea. While the first publish holds its ticket, a second publish on the same
+  decision to branch `other` gets `publish-busy`. The fake Gitea gets exactly one `git-receive-pack`,
+  the fork has only `refs/heads/coder/feat`, and there is one `action.allowed`.
+
+Runs on this branch, single files:
+- publish.test.mjs: 13/13.
+- publish-socket.test.mjs: 8/8.
+
+## Mutant
+
+M1 removes the `publish-busy` line. Both tests fail:
+- The bus test fails at the first busy assert.
+- The cli test fails because the second publish answers `ok: true` with `ref: refs/heads/coder/other`.
+  That is the defect: two refs on the fork.
+
+Logs are in `/mnt/storage/scratch/megavolt-r237/` (m1-bus.log, m1b-cli.log). `cmp` confirmed
+broker.mjs matched the saved copy after the restore. The first cli mutant run (m1-cli.log) was against
+a hook that recursed on every checkPublish. I fixed the hook to fire only for branch `feat` and reran
+it (m1b-cli.log).
+
+## Residuals, not fixed here
+
+1. **A ticket that never ends holds its decision until the bus restarts.** `#publishes` is in memory.
+   That happens when the host dies between checkPublish and recordPublish or publishRefused. It fails
+   closed (`publish-busy`), and a restart clears it.
+2. **publish-timeout (sage-1440).** The socket files `publishRefused` and drops the ticket, but the bus
+   process's push may still be running. A retry on the same decision can then open a ticket while that
+   push is live. This is the same residual the socket already logs ("the bus process's push may still
+   reach the fork"). Closing it means the runtime's `remotes` must keep the decision busy until its push
+   settles, which reaches into runtime.mjs. That is beyond the brief's two options.
+3. **checkLand has the same shape.** `#landings` takes a ticket per call and the decision is spent at
+   `recordLand`. Whether two landings on one decision can both reach main isn't checked here. That's a
+   follow-up for Sage to row or dismiss.
+
+## Gate
+
+Per the brief: Duckworth approves the manifest, the bus suite and every `scripts/test-*.sh` are green
+on Sage's gate, and M1 is killed. This row also changes a cli test file, so the cli suite (or that file
+alone) should run on the gate too.

+

+Reviewer Duckworth, gate owner Sage. Tests only; no source changes.
+
+## Why landing has no row 237 race
+
+Row 237 fixed publish: two tickets on one decision both pushed, because the decision is spent only
+after the push, and a push to a remote fork can't be taken back. Landing has the same ticket shape
+(`checkLand` opens a ticket, `recordLand` spends the decision), but three guards keep one decision
+from landing twice:
+
+1. **land-busy, the outer guard.** `doLand` in `packages/cli/src/git-socket.mjs:351` refuses
+   `land-busy` while another landing runs. The slot is taken before the first await, and freed only
+   when the landing ends. There is one git socket per launcher, and one host per dataRoot (host.lock).
+   So through the socket two landings never overlap, and a later one stops at `checkLand` with
+   `decision-consumed`. Even past that, applying the same reviewed patch to the new main fails
+   `base-conflict` in `prepareLand`.
+2. **The CAS on main.** `finishLand` (`packages/seat/src/working.mjs:391`) moves main with
+   `update-ref main <commit> <old>`, so a landing prepared on a tip that has since moved refuses
+   `base-moved` and writes nothing.
+3. **The recordLand recheck.** `finishLand` calls `record()`, which is `recordLand`, under the same
+   repository lock. `recordLand` runs `#landFacts` again (`packages/bus/src/broker.mjs:963`), which
+   refuses `decision-consumed` once the decision is spent. When `record()` throws, `finishLand` moves
+   main back.
+
+Guards 2 and 3 can't be reached end to end, because guard 1 stops a second landing first. So they are
+pinned below the socket, and no test bypasses land-busy.
+
+### The unrecorded-commit window
+
+Between the `update-ref` and the end of `record()`, main names the squash, which isn't recorded yet.
+That window is under the repository's lock, so no other push, review or landing in this host sees
+it. If `record()` refuses, main moves back. If moving back fails, `finishLand` refuses
+`rollback-failed` and main keeps naming an unrecorded commit (tested at `working.test.mjs:555`, the
+main.lock case). That is existing behaviour, unchanged here.
+
+## The test
+
+`packages/bus/tests/land.test.mjs:312`. Two tickets pass `checkLand` on one decision before either
+records. `recordLand` on the first lands. `recordLand` on the second refuses `decision-consumed`
+(:319), and leaves one merge `action.allowed`, one RESULT and no `action.refused`. `landRefused`, as
+the socket would call it, then files the refusal and ends the ticket.
+
+**The assert that pins the recordLand recheck is :319.** The `#spent` line is shared with
+`checkLand`, so dropping it also fails :144 (a `checkLand` after the decision is spent). Only :319
+shows the recheck at record time.

+# Row 242 build: a retry after publish-timeout pushes once
+
+Row 242, #1748, P19 440. Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-20_agent-credentials.md, "Brief: row 237
+follow-up N1, a retry after publish-timeout pushes once" (9d165be8c). Base: origin/refactor
+8fede5fc6 (row 210 landed f5753c0e8).
+
+## The defect
+
+The git socket polls publishResult until publishDeadlineMs, then refuses publish-timeout
+(packages/cli/src/git-socket.mjs:433) while the bus process's push (runtime publishPush) can
+still be running. The socket then calls publishRefused, which went straight to
+broker.publishRefused: it filed the refusal and deleted the ticket. checkPublish no longer saw an
+open ticket on the decision, so a retry got a new ticket and pushed a second ref while the first
+push was still on its way to the fork.
+
+## Fix chosen: hold the decision until the push ends, then record a push that reached the fork
+
+packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs, `publishRefused` and `settle`:
+
+- If the bus has no push for the ticket, publishRefused goes to the broker as before.
+- If the push is still running, the refusal code is held on the entry and the ticket stays open.
+  checkPublish refuses another publish on the decision with publish-busy (row 237's check),
+  the same as when the socket is still polling.
+- When the push ends, `settle` runs:
+  - A push that reached the fork is recorded with broker.recordPublish, which spends the
+    decision. The bus logs `pushed after the git socket refused <code>; recorded`.
+  - A push that failed is filed as publishRefused with the socket's code.
+  - If recordPublish refuses with a BusError, that code is filed instead.
+- If the push has already ended when the refusal arrives, it's settled at once. The sage-1440 test
+  relies on this: its push fails fast, so publish-timeout is filed once, immediately, as before.
+
+Why hold rather than kill. Killing the git client doesn't undo a push the fork has already
+received: receive-pack can update the ref after the client dies. After a kill the bus would have
+to ls-remote the fork to learn what landed, and the result could still race the server. Holding
+waits for the push's own outcome. Each git run in publishRemote already has its own limit
+(publishRemote defaults to checkout.mjs GIT_LIMITS), so a hold is bounded. Holding also reuses the existing publish-busy
+state, and the refusal text is unchanged.
+
+Why record and not only hold. If the hold just filed publish-timeout once the push ended, the
+ticket would close and the decision would be free again with a ref on the fork. A retry would then
+push a second ref. Recording the late push spends the decision, so the retry gets
+decision-consumed.
+
+The publish-timeout refusal text is unchanged (brief condition).
+
+## Test
+
+packages/cli/tests/publish-socket.test.mjs:302, "row 242: a retry after publish-timeout refuses
+publish-busy while the bus process's push runs; the late push is recorded and the decision pushes
+once".
+
+- publishDeadlineMs 150 and a store token. The fork's pre-receive hook writes `held`, then loops
+  until the test writes `release`.
+- The first publish gives publish-timeout. The test waits for `held`.
+- A retry to branch `other` gives publish-busy (:322). Refused events: ["publish-busy"]. No
+  git.push.remote allowed event.
+- The test writes `release` and waits until there is exactly one allowed event, with ref
+  refs/heads/coder/feat and the work commit.
+- The next retry gives decision-consumed (:330).
+- Exactly one git-receive-pack request reached the fake Gitea, and the fork has only
+  refs/heads/coder/feat. Refused events: ["publish-busy", "decision-consumed"]. No TOKEN appears in
+  events or logs.
+
+Fail fast (sage-1681): the body is wrapped in try/finally, and the finally writes `release`. Under
+the first mutant run, the assert at the retry failed and the hook was never released. setup's
+teardown waits for the fake Gitea, which waited for the held push, so the file hung until I stopped
+it. Now a failed assert ends the hook and the run. Each wait is bounded at 10 s with an assert.fail.
+
+## Mutants
+
+Script: /mnt/storage/scratch/megavolt-r242/mutants.sh. Each mutant: save, one-line sed, run
+publish-socket.test.mjs whole, restore, cmp.
+
+| Mutant | Change | Expected kill |
+|---|---|---|
+| M1 | export `publishRefused: (ticket, args) => broker.publishRefused(ticket, args)` again (removes the fix) | :302 at :322: the retry gets a new ticket and its own push, so publish-timeout, not publish-busy (seen in the stopped 03:06Z run) |
+| M2 | `settle` files publishRefused without trying recordPublish (hold only) | :302 at the wait for one allowed event, then :330 |
+
+Results (Sage's slot, sage-1686, 2026-10-21T03:35:00Z to 03:35:15Z): both killed, both restored
+(cmp ok).
+
+- M1: publish-socket 8/1, the row 242 test fails at :322 in 0.5 s.
+- M2: publish-socket 8/1, the row 242 test fails at :327, the wait for one allowed event, through
+  the assert.fail inside `until` (:311) after its 10 s bound, in 10.3 s.
+
+## Suites
+
+On Sage's slot (sage-1686), on base 8fede5fc6 plus this row:
+
+- bus `node --test tests/*.test.mjs`: 499/499, 03:35:20Z to 03:35:34Z. This is one fewer than
+  Sage's 241 gate (500) because the base predates row 241's land.test case.
+- cli `node --test tests/*.test.mjs`: 566/566, 03:35:34Z to 03:43:47Z. That's 565 plus the
+  row 242 test.
+
+Singles before the slot: publish-socket.test.mjs 9/9, bus publish.test.mjs 13/13. The seat suite
+and scripts/test-*.sh are left for Sage's landing gate.
+
+## Residuals
+
+- The agent was told publish-timeout, but the push is recorded later and the run isn't
+  notified. The allowed event and the bus log line are the only trace. A later publish on the
+  decision gets decision-consumed, which tells the agent the decision was used. Whether the run
+  should get a RESULT for a late record is a follow-up question for Sage.
+- A late push whose recordPublish refuses (Duckworth N2) is filed with that code: the ref stays on
+  the fork and the decision is not spent, the same residual as an in-band push whose record
+  refuses.
+- The hold lives in the bus process's memory, like the broker's open tickets. A bus restart during
+  a hold drops both, the same as today for any publish in flight.

+5. Fallback: if fewer than five pieces are open by 10-23, the gate moves to 10-28. No agent opens a piece in
+   Jason's place.
+
+When Jason sends a piece, I tell Mos its message id.
+
+Correction (2026-10-21T01:06Z): the heading above says 01:14Z. The clock read 2026-10-21T01:05:56Z when I wrote that entry, so 01:06Z is the right time.
+
+## 2026-10-21T01:20Z Jason's pre-S7 checks (mos-1154)
+
+Between 01:11:06Z and 01:13:03Z Jason sent pm five requests with `mosaic talk pm`: ed9e1e14, 51c19692,
+94f5d62c, 0645a3b7, f75449c0 (bus seq 1583 to 1591). pm run rc9e993da24cf answered each in 4 to 16 s. They were
+two jokes, the sandwich, the purpose of Mosaic Stack and pm's mission. pm made no task and raised no decision
+for any of them, and said so each time. Mos's reading, which I take: none is a piece, because a piece has to
+become work that gets closed and reviewed. They are recorded as Jason's pre-S7 checks. The five pieces are
+still open, latest-by 10-23 23:59Z. Activation at send: copy 4429a104f, as in the 01:06Z entry (C1). Source: Mos
+(mos-1154) read the bus. I didn't read the message bodies.
+
+pm also told Jason that its state snapshot lists only the first 50 of 198 open tasks and that it pages the rest
+with list_tasks. That is the row 109 (#1603) design: broker.mjs `state` returns `cap: TASK_PAGE` (50) with
+`total`, and list_tasks pages up to TASK_PAGE_MAX (200).

+- One window carries the code of rows 190, 199 and 210, plus row 234 (row a) with its schema step 3i to 3j
+  through `activate --migrate`, agent-run under Q173, backup first.
+- Row a lands before the .53 and .54 installs, by 10-25 (mos-1134). If row 234 hasn't landed by 10-24 12:00Z,
+  I ask Mos whether to run the window without it (no migration) or to move it.
+- Jason has no step. Nobody acts as Jason. No pi (P19 383). No Save, no `mosaic name`. Nothing is pruned.
+- `--sso` stays off. Row 200's `activate --sso` is in NEW as a tool. Turning it on changes who reaches the Console
+  from outside, so that's Jason's (Q173 exclusion). It has its own window, the Q175 phase 2 window on 10-23
+  (mos-1148). That window runs first, so this window's OLD may be the phase 2 copy, and P1 reads it from
+  `status`.
+
+## Names
+
+- OLD, live: `4429a104f6d65ccf165f6c83b5d1dce3147dfde0`, schema 3i, pointer `pm: true` (record 99a406ed3).
+  P1 re-reads the activation id and the Console flags from `status`. I don't copy them from the last window.
+- NEW: open. It's the row 234 landing, or a later code landing if Mos rules. Candidates in landing order:
+  194, 234 (210, 237, 232, 241 and 242 have landed).
+- REPO, `P`, `WIN=agents/sage/work/window-repin-<NEW12>/`, `SNAP`: as in `repin-4429a104f.md`, with the
+  sha checks at P0 and before S1, S2 and any D3.
+
+## What NEW carries over OLD (so far, refactor 04ce8dfd5)
+
+`git log --first-parent 4429a104f..HEAD`, path-limited to packages, scripts, roles, contracts, adapters, skills
+and the package files:
+
+| Row | Commit | Live effect to check |
+|---|---|---|
+| 201 | afad4993f | business: access.json loader. Check: the live business has no access.json, and load stays LOAD_OK (P1). |
+| 204 | d0bbc5c1c | business: 193a viewer level. Same check. |
+| 190 | 00d4cc1f6 | Several instances per host. Touches `stack-release.sh`, `webui-service.sh`, `bus-service.sh`, `stack-copy.sh`. The default instance must render the same units: P2 diffs the rendered units OLD vs NEW for `mosaic-stack`, and any difference stops the window until it's explained. |
+| 200 | 9e1085816 | Tool: `activate --sso`. Off here. `--plan` must show no `--sso` line. |
+| 199 | cb5fdb064 | Credential store per agent. Check: bus start with no store entries for the live agents changes nothing, and the chief's and pm's launches still pass. The P3 rehearsal covers start. |
+| N3 | 390ea5261 | README only. |
+| 230 | c8bc5cf4c | Case 2 scripts, tools only. Not run live. |
+| 210 | f5753c0e8 | Host access. The live business has no `hosts`, so nothing is granted. Bus start runs the host-run sweep (M34d). P3 must show it removes nothing. |
+| 237 | d7d943199 | Publish busy check (199 N1). |
+| 232 | e65a3ab4d | Installer I1: `stack-release.sh --units external` and `stack-copy.sh copy --bundle`, `wrapper --create`. Both are opt-in, and this window uses neither. The default units path must render the same units, so the P2 unit diff covers it with row 190. P0 checks that no window command line carries `--units external`. |
+| 241 | 5d4a61776 | Test only (bus land.test.mjs). No live effect. |
+| 242 | 5fb736b92 | Bus publish hold: after publish-timeout the bus holds the decision until its push ends, then records a late push. The live business has no publish in flight at W1, and P3 shows none open. Its follow-up fc1cb856b is comments only (git-socket.mjs). |
+| 234 | open | Machine grant row a and the 3i to 3j schema step. `--plan` must say `migration: 3i -> 3j`. |
+| PRD 1.7+1.8 | 0adf8ddfe | `docs/prd/mosaic-stack.md` and `packages/tasks/requirements.json` move to version 1.8 (mos-1154, mos-1156, DECISIONS Q192). The live pm cites 1.6 until this window. Check after: the pm's requirements read answers version 1.8. |
+
+Service script drift OLD to HEAD is 415+/91- over the four scripts, mostly row 190. P5 holds them at NEW.
+
+## Backups and the migration
+
+- W5: the stopped store backup that every activate takes (row 185), with SHA256SUMS, SCHEMA 3i and STAMP,
+  plus the rollback set. Before `--migrate` writes, I check that SCHEMA reads 3i and the backup SHA256SUMS hash.
+- W0b: the business file copy, as in the last window.
+- Rollback after a migration isn't the plain rollback. OLD is 3i and the store is 3j, so going back needs
+  `--restore <W5 activation>`, and that loses the events written after W5. The row 181 restore guard counts
+  11 tables, and the untimed ones need the D3 snapshot. Mos decides any restore past W5, as before.
+- Grant look-alikes (row 234 A22b, gizmoduck-0107). `3i-3j.sql` adds `events_grant_actor` but doesn't check
+  rows already in the store, so after the migration only the actor filter in `GRANT_EVIDENCE` (actor_role NULL,
+  actor_run 'grant') ignores an old session-written row. P3, and again just before `--migrate`: on the
+  backup copy, count the `action.allowed` events whose body.action or body.operation starts with `grant.`, or
+  whose body has `hostLineLeft`. Expect 0, since no grant code has run live. Any nonzero count stops the window
+  until I've read those rows.
+- P3 is the rehearsal with `--migrate` on a copy of the live backup. It must show the 3j step and the row
+  counts before and after.
+
+## Row 42 (S7) interaction
+
+Row 42's pieces may be in flight at window start (sage-1622, mos-1148 C1 and C2). W1 adds: list open pm tasks, and either pm
+finishes or parks them before W5, or I record which piece crosses the window. No restore while a piece has
+history unless the window fails.
+
+## Open before draft 1
+
+- Q1: NEW, once 234 lands. Do 194 and 237 go in if they land first? I recommend yes for 237 (small, bus
+  only) and asking Mos about 194, since 194 changes the lifecycle verbs and roles/chief-of-staff.*.
+- Q2, settled by mos-1148: phase 2 is its own window on 10-23. Draft 1 takes OLD and the Console flags,
+  `--sso` included, from `status` after that window.
+- Q3: who operates. If Darkwing is free, Darkwing operates and I check. Otherwise I operate as in the last
+  window.
+- The P-step evidence list for rows 199 and 210 at bus start. Both have landed (cb5fdb064, f5753c0e8), so
+  it's due in draft 1. I take each log line and exit code from a P3 rehearsal run, not from the code.
+- Rows 241 and 242 (bus): P3 shows no publish or land decision open before W5.

+  unit carries the Console flags.
+- `activate` and `rollback` refuse `units-running` unless both units read
+  inactive or failed and the store is closed. They make the rollback set
+  with an exclusive `mkdir`, write `AWAITING-UNITS` (the target copy) first,
+  capture the pointer, the wrapper and both units' show output and unit file

+
+r6 B2 as designed:
+- `case1-pins.sh` holds the pins: the profile sha256, the apparmor-profiles version and the bubblewrap pin.
+- `hostcheck.sh` covers the seven items in three modes:
+  - `--check` exits 0 or 1.
+  - `--enforce` stops bwrap: `apparmor_parser -R`, then `root:root 0700` on `/usr/bin/bwrap`. It writes
+    `/etc/mosaic-stack/DRIFT` and a `hostcheck.log` line, and exits 0.
+  - `--upstream` compares the current apparmor-profiles deb to the pin.
+- `mosaic-hostcheck.service`, a boot oneshot.
+- `case1-hostcheck.test.mjs` uses fakes for every host tool and covers r6's seven case groups and seven
+  mutants.
+
+The I3 run sheet's hostcheck item points at this row. I3's A1 and its fake don't change.
+
+### Gate
+
+Filbert approves the manifest. The test file, the cli suite and every `scripts/test-*.sh` are green on
+Sage's gate, with the mutants killed. Target: in review 10-25, landed 10-26, before the ops-01 proof.

+- Version 1.8 source, Jason's ruling Q188 (DECISIONS, 2026-10-20), his

+  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

+  will still want to allow infra agent(s) on my .53 instance to access
+  other servers, etc. However, not all agents will need to have that
+  access. I envision a credential store within Mosaic Stack that works as
+  some sort of variable for the agent to call. The system will enforce

+  the user deletes an instance. These actions are `role.hire` and
+  `role.fire`. They leave the hard waits and route under this requirement,
+  within these bounds:
+  - The chief acts only in its own organization.
+  - The chief hires only role definitions that need no credentials, until
+    a later version adds credentialed roles.
+  - The chief hires only the role kinds its role file lists. Changing that
+    list is a reviewed commit.
+  - The chief hires only a role whose every action is on a fixed list of
+    plain work actions: sending messages, writing records, asking for
+    review, updating its assigned tasks, and the scope and working-push
+    actions of an assigned task. A role holding any other action, such as
+    launch, end, organization, naming, hire, review verdict or merge
+    authority, or any action added later, is never hired. So the chief
+    never hires a chief, never picks its own reviewers or merge gate, and
+    the author is never the reviewer. This holds whatever the role file's
+    list says. Adding to that list is a PRD change.
+  - The chief may set a hired instance's model and narrow its limits, and
+    nothing else about it.
+  - The user can forbid per agent. The user marks an instance so the chief
+    can't fire it, end its runs or change its model, and marks role kinds
+    the chief can't hire. Only the user changes these marks, through the
+    WebUI or the CLI.

  - in Vikunja, a `bot-<business>-<role>` user per role, plus one
    read-only `bot-<business>-sync` that does all polling (lead
    decisions 52 and 58).
+
+  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-CRED-2.** A session that finds only founder credentials stops.

+Added in version 1.7:
+
+- **REQ-CRED-3.** An agent with a grant can run commands with sudo on
+  another host. The agent asks for the host credential by name. The stack
+  checks that a grant exists for that agent and that host before the
+  credential is used. The agent never sees the key or any other secret
+  value (REQ-CRED-1, REQ-VAR-2). An agent without a grant for that host is
+  refused. Not every agent gets a grant. Who grants a host credential, and
+  how, is set by the #424 design, which Jason approves.
+
+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. The assistant and the chief of staff are separate
+  roles. No agent holds both, and the broker refuses a claim that would.
+- **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.

+  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

+  not on the list are unchanged. Only the user changes the list, through

+Added in version 1.7:
+
+- **REQ-LAND-2.** A coder pushes its own work to its own fork. The action
+  is `git.push.remote`.
+  - What it pushes: one commit, by its oid, never a ref name. That commit
+    is the latest work commit the bus recorded for the coder's task, and
+    the coder made that push. A decision that authorizes a push names that
+    commit, and it doesn't authorize any other.
+  - Where it lands: only the branch
+    `refs/heads/<its Gitea user>/<branch>`. The host builds that name, the
+    agent never does. A push never forces.
+  - Which remote: the agent's own fork of the project's upstream. The
+    business file names the upstream, and the host never contacts it. For
+    each push the host builds the fork's address over https from the
+    upstream's host, port and repository name and the agent's own Gitea
+    user. The history check, the push and the credential match all use
+    that address. So the agent's own user owns the receiving repository on
+    every push, and the agent never names it.
+  - The host refuses an upstream on a host or port other than the agent's
+    Gitea, and an upstream the agent's own user owns. It refuses a fork
+    that is missing, empty or doesn't share the project's history. Gitea's
+    push-to-create stays off, so a push never creates a repository.
+  - Who may: the action routes under REQ-DEC-2 and is granted within-role
+    to the coder role only. No other role file grants it.
+  - Before version 1.7 the action was a hard wait under REQ-WAIT-3, so
+    each push needed a decision the human resolved, and that decision
+    named the commit.
+
+  Every push is logged with the remote, the ref, the commit and, when one
+  was given, the decision.

+- 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

Sage's landing gate on 12b8538e0 (`96bac588f` plus these 3 paths): 15 packages 2826 pass 0 fail (bus 500, cli 594, seat 164), 10 scripts/test-*.sh suites 429 pass 0 fail plus 156 node tests in the queue suite, 03:59Z to 04:12:44Z The 3 paths are unchanged on refactor since the candidate's base `8fede5fc6`. Follow-ups: Duckworth's doc notes N1, N2 and N4 go in a later doc-only commit; the late-record notice to the run is Vikunja 440 comment 432. No live change.	2026-10-20 23:13:06 -05:00

jason.woltje	5d4a617762	bus: row 241 one decision lands once; a broker test with two checkLand tickets on one decision, where the second recordLand refuses decision-consumed and records nothing (row 241, #1747 , P19 441) Megavolt's candidate `3e3ed303e` on megavolt/row241, manifest e8266864 (2 paths: agents/megavolt/work/queue-241/BUILD.md, packages/bus/tests/land.test.mjs). Tests and packet only, no source change. Duckworth approved (comment 29870, rev 2628). Sage's slot on bbf3b1ee8 (`0444acd08` plus these 2 paths): - mutants M1 (#spent recheck, broker.mjs:963), M2 (CAS old value, seat working.mjs:391), M3 (land-busy, cli git-socket.mjs:351): all killed - full gate: 15 packages 2797 pass 0 fail (bus 500, cli 565), 10 scripts/test-*.sh suites 429 pass 0 fail plus 156 node tests in the queue suite, 03:21:13Z to 03:34:16Z Row 232's landing `e65a3ab4d` sits between that base and this commit.

jason.woltje	e65a3ab4d2	stack-release: --units external for root-owned units, with confirm, revert and gate --since; stack-copy copy --bundle and wrapper --create (row 232, #1734 , installer I1) Blobs of Darkwing's round 2 `da2da2f6c` on origin/darkwing/row232-r2 (base `8fede5fc6`), the 9 manifest paths, manifest 7af3c943. Round 2 is a rebase-only round over row 230 (`c8bc5cf4c`): packages/cli/README.md is a clean 3-way merge with 232's hunk unchanged, and the other 8 paths keep the round 1 hashes (manifest 7a3b4ea1). Filbert approve round 1 (comment 29829) and round 2 (comment 29865). Under --units user every command line and every byte of output is the base's. Under external the script reads root's system units, starts and stops none, stages a copy behind AWAITING-UNITS, and confirm gates root's start on the bus unit's ActiveEnterTimestamp and launches list. Mutants 17 of 17 killed (BUILD.md). Darkwing's landing gate on `da2da2f6c`, 03:07:15Z to 03:17:48Z: packages/cli 593 pass 0 fail, 10 scripts/test-*.sh suites 429 pass 0 fail (plus 156 node tests in the queue suite). Refactor moved to `0444acd08` since, three commits touching no manifest path. No live change: the stack runs from copy `4429a104f`, and --units user stays the default.	2026-10-20 22:19:47 -05:00

Duckworth approve round 2 (rev 2592) and round 3 (comment 29851, rev 2614). Round 3 is a rebase-only round over row 237 (`d7d943199`): broker.mjs is a clean 3-way merge (610af0c4), the 210 hunks sit away from 237's insert, and range-diff against r4 `c43008749` is all equal. Mutants 52 of 53 killed on the merged tree. M22b is equivalent (rev 2584); its coverage moves to row 235. Preflight singles: seat sandbox 10/0, bus project-runtime 3/0. Gate on `ad95c888c` plus these paths: 15 package suites 2796 pass 0 fail, 10 scripts/test-*.sh suites 429 pass 0 fail (plus 156 node tests in the queue suite).

jason.woltje	0adf8ddfe2	prd: Mosaic Stack PRD versions 1.7 and 1.8, status approved version 1.8 (DECISIONS Q192, decision d52febb5, Vikunja #434 ) 1.7 is PRD-1.7-DRAFT.md (sha256 e896746d), approved by decision d52febb5 (prd.approve, yes). 1.8 is r7 `82df17347` (sha256 de079281), approved by Jason in T3, relayed by Mos (mos-1154, DECISIONS Q192), so it has no in-Stack prd.approve. packages/tasks/requirements.json moves to version 1.8 with 68 ids: COS-3, CRED-3, CRED-4, GRANT-1 to 4, TRUST-1, TRUST-2 and LAND-2 are new.

jason.woltje	d7d9431990	bus: one decision, one open publish; checkPublish refuses publish-busy while another ticket holds the decision (row 237, #1743 ) The decision is spent only at recordPublish, after the push, so two checkPublish calls on one decision could both push and land the commit on two fork refs. checkPublish now refuses publish-busy while an open ticket holds the same business and decision. A refusal drops the ticket and leaves the decision unspent. Broker test and a socket race test with exactly one git-receive-pack. Residuals 1-3 in BUILD.md; residual 3 (checkLand) is a follow-up row. Built by Megavolt (megavolt/row237 `e42415935`, duckworth-0068 N1), reviewed by Duckworth (approve, comment 29810, manifest bb777cb0).
