Untested: record row 283 follow-up dependency receipts (#1793)

The fence sits near business.mjs:166, clear of row 287's :283-291. Its message
starts with the N10 text. An assistant-instance test keeps the no-gitea branch
covered, and a creative-instance test covers the fence. Nothing here has run.

+# Row 288 (#1793): C2-02 agent writes, notices, revert and Console saves
+
+Owner: Bubba, Codex gpt-6.1-sol, thread 3d6672b5-5544-4b95-9e09-e79574f1aa14.
+Reviewer: Webby. Gate and landing: Sage. Append-only build record.
+
+## 2026-10-23 start and implementation plan
+
+Base 45dca69f6 on bubba/row288. Direct mandate mos-1499 (Q245), confirmed sage-3613.
+The canonical `scripts/mosaic queue next bubba` returned `nothing`; Sage owns the owner transition.
+The initial worktree invocation refused linked-worktree use; retried in canonical checkout.
+
+Spec: docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md, C2-02; agents/gosalyn/work/case2/DESIGN.md ruling after r11.
+Handoffs: Honker queue-283 BUILD.md Q4 (missing/non-100644 delete refuses); Morgana
+queue-225 BUILD.md A2 at 66f7becf2 (strict revert arguments/result), confirmed by Fethry fethry-0005.
+`project` is the business.projects key, never a chat UUID.
+
+Dependencies merged with their commits intact, no amend or force-push:
+- 283 origin/honker/row283-build 88ec5e8e4 (new E4 head to follow).
+- 285 origin/scrooge/row285-r2 53db6b7ca.
+- 286 origin/ludwig/row286-r2 573fa0be0.
+- 284: no named remote branch yet. Tool changes come last.
+All merge commits are marked Untested. Nothing has run under Node. Sage's latest instruction
+sage-3613 reserves **all Node and test runs** for CLEAR; this supersedes the initial targeted-test
+permission. Build untested now as instructed, then run RED/GREEN checks/mutants on CLEAR.
+
+Architecture: one host-only plumbing writer under the existing library lock; broker authorizes and
+selects credentials, then inserts the fixed notice directly. Human save/revert use editor +
+library-human independently of seat lifecycle. No worktree, deferred push, role expansion or UI.
+
+### Tasks and acceptance
+
+- [ ] Plumbing: new library/src/write.mjs, mirror state publication and package exports; new
+  library/tests/write.test.mjs. One-parent write/delete, byte-exact content, seat identity/trailer,
+  stale-base, nonregular/missing deletes, retry once on an unrelated remote change, push failure
+  without local ref movement, human editor and revert reachability/single-path checks.
+- [ ] Broker + runtime: library.doc.write/delete, library.file.save, library.revert; strict keys,
+  creative + library.write + live unheld project grant; direct exact notice; human-only save/revert.
+  New bus/tests/library-write.test.mjs covers authorization, unchanged refs, A2 contract and socket.
+- [ ] Transport: only human library.file.save joins the existing large-save exception. New tests
+  prove >64 KiB save accepted, agent writes retain 64 KiB bound, malformed/oversize saves refuse.
+- [ ] Tools after 284: library_doc_write/delete in harness tools; exact eight/ten-name snapshots
+  in a new harness test; cli dispatch wiring.
+- [ ] Verify on CLEAR: new tests, library/bus/harness suites and all scripts/test-*.sh on Sage's
+  assigned slot. Mutants remove supporting guard and force push; both must fail. Fixture-token
+  search over captured output. No gate, landing or queue move claimed before Sage's acceptance.
+
+Pre-flight interfaces: broker consumes library writer {project,path,commit}; revert adds reverted;
+writer consumes C2-03b push {pushed} or {raced,tip} and supportingPath(mapping,universe,path,tree).
+State publication must add optional lastPush while preserving old state readability. Refusals must
+restore fetched remote-tracking refs as well as preserve served. Runtime must bind credential file
+references itself; no file, identity, message or credential is supplied by the agent.
+
+Necessary file-scope additions: packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs (actual adapter injection),
+packages/library/src/index.mjs (exports), and CLI's existing console adapter if saves require it.
+Reported to Sage in bubba-0002. Existing tests will not be edited without Mos's OK via Sage.
+
+Review focus: remote tip races, nonregular entries and folded paths, unsafe human credential before
+git, revert after revoked/fired writer, and large-request exception never extending agent writes.
+
+### Existing-test changes
+
+None authored by Bubba yet. Dependency test changes remain their owners' original commits.
+
+## 2026-10-23 first static build (not a gate result)
+
+283 E4 merged intact at 76d651dba. Honker next reports e67c27b32 (test environment only), to merge
+before push. Della reports row 284 has not been built/pushed; row224's 23816cf28 is not a 284 head.
+No speculative 284 pin. Typed tools and served-blob lookup integration remain pending 284.
+
+Implemented (unrun): bare plumbing writer, one-parent commit and fixed trailer, exact-content blobs,
+base comparison, supporting path guard and delete regular-blob check, one remote-race retry,
+ref restoration on refusal, immediate served publication/lastPush; human save and reachable one-path
+business-trailer revert; broker grants/identity/notice path; runtime adapter wiring; large-save socket
+exception. New tests: library/tests/write.test.mjs and bus/tests/library-write.test.mjs. No old test edits.
+
+### Approved scope additions, sage-3628
+
+Every hunk outside the brief's owned list:
+- `packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs`: `humanWriteOptions` checks editor before choosing the human slot;
+  three library adapter entries bind dataRoot, command and the host-only seat store reference. These
+  are needed to make actual bus calls reach the new writer without accepting agent-supplied files.
+- `packages/library/src/index.mjs`: export writeLibraryDoc/saveLibraryFile/revertLibraryCommit so
+  runtime's existing library module adapter can call them.
+- `packages/library/src/sync.mjs`: shared write guard with opaque token compared by identity;
+  push's race fetch recognizes only that owner and does not clear its guard; ordinary sync and a
+  forged token still refuse library-sync-busy. Narrow publishLibraryWrite validates ids, reads the
+  locked state, rebuilds the index via readLibrary, moves served/tracking and writes lastPush. The
+  raw writeState remains private and is not exported through index.mjs.
+
+Ludwig ludwig-0064 reviewed the intended interface and requested the opaque token (implemented),
+narrow publication (implemented), whole library + bus library-credential checks and a token mutant
+(planned). His 573fa0be0 remains current and unrun. 288's additions are separate commits, not folded
+into 286. Tracking restores only if the whole write refuses, not between the first race and retry.
+
+Known tradeoff, accepted by Sage sage-3628 for MVP: the brief holds the flock through network Git;
+readers can hit the existing 5-second library-sync-busy while it runs. Structural supportingPath
+preflight is pure and precedes Git; served/fetched listTree checks repeat it with the real tree before
+any remote write. A tree-dependent check necessarily reads the tree first (Honker honker-0184 item2).
+
+### Mutants for CLEAR
+
+- Remove the `pathOf` calls for agent operations: the M12 broker/bare-ref tests must fail on a
+  story/unsupported path while checking remote, tracking and served refs.
+- Prefix the push refspec in syncCommand with `+`: write.test moved-target race must fail, because
+  its command seam preserves production syncCommand's refspec (only remote URL/protocol are fixture).
+- Replace `writers.get(mirror) === writeToken` with `true`: write.test forged-token case must fail.
+
+No Node, test, build or mutant has run. `git diff --check` is clean. Counts are not claimed.
+
+### Console dispatch integration
+
+The existing cli delegates its transport wiring to console-bus.mjs, so the save dispatch needs that
+file too: one null `librarySave` option and one `--send` assignment to library.file.save. cli.mjs
+threads that option into startServer; row C2-11b owns the actual route/page that consumes it. New
+webui/tests/library-write-options.test.mjs covers --send and the user transport boundary. 225 owns
+libraryRevert dispatch; 288 adds only librarySave to avoid overlapping that ownership. Additional
+scope reported to Sage and Fethry. No changes to an existing test.
+
+## 2026-10-23 second static pass and dependency review
+
+First push: c867cada9 on origin/bubba/row288, reported bubba-0005 to Sage/Webby/Mos and
+bubba-0006 to Fethry/Ludwig. No PR created and no review/gate requested as complete.
+
+Ludwig ludwig-0065 checked the exact sync diff against 286 without running anything. Token identity,
+ordinary-sync exclusion, 286 R1 preservation, guard key and end-of-write tracking restoration fit.
+F1: state publication could fail after served moved, leaving old state/new served. Root cause is
+publication order without rollback, compared against sync's existing rollback. Added an unrun
+filesystem rename-failure regression, then changed the narrow helper: on failure it validates the
+state under the same lock, CAS-restoring served if state has not published the new commit. If rename
+succeeded but directory fsync failed and the state validates against new served, it keeps that pair.
+All failure cases answer outcome-unknown; tracking remains the commit already pushed remotely.
+Verification is pending CLEAR, so this is a proposed fix, not a tested resolution.
+
+Added the actual broker-to-bare tests for each M12 path refusal (both agent verbs), unchanged remote
+and all mirror refs, exact write/delete notices, and human revert after fixture grant removal/hold.
+The bare fixture moved to new library/tests/write-fixture.mjs so broker tests reuse real plumbing.
+Added the raw socket proof-nested-save-name case to pin the parsed-verb large-request check.
+Missing editor/slot tests now make the mirror metadata invalid first: reaching Git would change the
+refusal, so the tests check the pre-Git gate rather than merely count remote commands.
+
+Additional required doc hunk: packages/library/README.md appends the four verb contracts,
+lastPush shape, exact notice, lock tradeoff and publication failure behavior. No existing test from
+the dependency/base has changed. All new/modified tests in this pass were authored by this row.
+`git diff --check` remains clean. No Node/tests/build/mutants run; 284 and CLEAR remain pending.
+
+## 2026-10-23 early review follow-up (Webby E1-E6; Ludwig F2)
+
+Sage sage-3652 approves console-bus.mjs wiring (null option + --send dispatch), confirms editor.user
+as the sole human login source and reserves CLEAR for T3/T4 after T2. Ordinary sync()'s separate
+post-rename fsync gap stays out of 288 per that ruling; no change to sync()'s existing rollback.
+
+Honker 283 head 46bad7ea3 merged intact: mapping editor.user is optional, and if present uses the
+existing plain Gitea-user pattern. The omission at mapping level is valid; human writes refuse it.
+
+- Ludwig F2 / Webby E6: confirmed the previous runtime used the fetch bot's mapping.user wrongly.
+  Runtime now passes mapping.editor.user to humanCredential, never mapping.user. Missing user gives
+  library-human-missing before Git. New real-runtime cases pin both save and revert with a separate
+  fetch-bot login, positive pushes under her-gitea-login, and no command for an absent editor login.
+  The broker's credential.agent is s.role, not args: added an exact assertion and strict-key refusal
+  cases for caller-supplied agent and credential.
+- E1: replaced the business-id RegExp interpolation with a literal startsWith(business.id + '/')
+  check and ID_PATTERN on only the instance suffix. New acme.co vs acme-co trailer test.
+- E2: new broker→bare case holds the seat in the fetch command. beforePush must refuse
+  library-write-no-grant with all local refs and the remote unchanged and no notice. New mutant:
+  remove `options.beforePush?.();` in write.mjs; the E2 test must fail.
+- E3: new broker cases for expired rotate_by, fire.stopped without fire.done, missing role.publish
+  project, grant/identity Gitea-user mismatch, and missing identity name/email, for both agent verbs.
+- E4: the exceptional publication failure currently returns outcome-unknown before the broker has
+  a successful result to put in a notice, so a remote agent commit can exist without a Console
+  notice. There is no durable notice outbox/retry in this row. The trailer commit remains human
+  revertible by id after sync; this is an explicit known failure-mode gap for the manifest, not
+  a claim that every failed publication emits a notice. A new real-push test breaks state decoding
+  after push admission, pins outcome-unknown, old served and no notice. It also found a local error
+  propagation gap: errors before publishLibraryWrite's internal try now normalize to outcome-unknown
+  in the writer once push has succeeded, so the caller is never told an ordinary refused-write code.
+- E5: 284 still has no build. Tools/8-or-10 snapshot and served-blob integration remain pending.
+  librarySave is intentionally only an adapter option until C2-11b supplies its route/page.
+
+All tests above are newly authored by row288 and remain unrun; no changes to baseline/dependency
+tests. RED/GREEN and mutants await CLEAR. Proposed fixes are not claimed verified. The new host-only
+library write module imports the existing pure ID_PATTERN to match the broker's accepted instance ids.
+
+## 2026-10-23 mos-1520 ruling: post-push notice is required
+
+Correction to the E4 interpretation above: Mos rejected the known-gap treatment. The requirement
+stays: a pushed agent commit has the exact notice even if local publication then fails. This is not
+an outbox or retry. The writer now calls the broker's trusted synchronous onPushed callback as soon
+as push returns pushed:true, before publication. The callback records the exact library-write notice
+and action.allowed in the normal Console-store transaction. Publication failure still answers
+outcome-unknown. The notice's Revert can refuse library-revert-not-agent until sync makes that commit
+reachable from served; README now says that explicitly and removes the rejected gap description.
+
+The row's own real-push corruption test now pins the exact notice body with the pushed id, old
+served and outcome-unknown; after restoring readable state it pins Revert's refusal before sync and
+success after sync. The successful-write adapter fixture calls onPushed too, matching runtime's
+writer contract. No existing baseline/dependency test changed (mos-1520 explicitly authorizes this
+row's test correction without mos-1272).
+
+Residual Console-store failure: if notice insertion/routing/its event transaction fails, the broker
+calls a separate host log sink with {event:library-notice-store-failed,code:outcome-unknown,business,
+instance,op,commit}. It logs no args, path content, credential, raw SQL or exception output. Runtime's
+new library.log adapter writes this metadata to stderr. The caller gets outcome-unknown even if
+recording action.refused in that same broken store fails. A new real-push test uses temporary SQLite
+abort triggers on notice insertion and refusal evidence, checks remote advanced/served unchanged,
+no message, the exact external log and outcome-unknown. It does not claim a notice can be stored in
+a failed Console store. If the host log sink itself also fails, no durable log can be promised; the
+caller still receives outcome-unknown. The runtime log hunk is the required residual-failure wiring.
+
+Mutant added: move `options.onPushed?.({ project: context.project, path: change.path, commit });`
+from before `await publishLibraryWrite(...)` to immediately after that await inside the same try.
+Successful operations keep their notice, but the outcome-unknown publication path drops it. The
+C2-02 E4 real-push corruption test must fail on its exact notice assertion. Run on CLEAR and restore.
+
+No Node/tests/build/mutants run. Static git diff --check clean. Della's first284 head0ed4fbab9 is
+explicitly incomplete and not a finished dependency; waiting for her complete-head pin before tools.
+
+Webby webby-0253 (static, cef503cb9) closes E4 per mos-1520; no tests ran. N1: a failed notice insert throws from onPushed before publication, so served stays at the prior commit until sync; the store-failure test pins this safe direction. Only E5 (284 tools/snapshot integration) remains open in this early review.
+
+## 2026-10-23 complete284 merge and final tool integration (unrun)
+
+Della della-0037 supplied complete untested head47db04eba85ac3ceb7e81385603f97bb6f8c1a38,
+replacing the incomplete head. Merged intact as c0ca3894c. Its22423816cf28 and2164f3fbc25a
+lineage is retained. Three conflicts were in overlapping production wiring only:
+- broker.mjs: keep Della's LIBRARY_LOOKUPS object and #requestLibraryLookup byte-for-byte, and
+  keep288 writer/notice methods; LIBRARY_VERBS contains both sets and request dispatch calls lookup.
+- runtime.mjs: keep lookup adapter plus288's metadata log and write adapters.
+- library/index.mjs: keep index/query exports,286's push/humanCredential exports and288's writer exports.
+No dependency test body was changed in the merge. These are overlapping consumer integrations,
+not rewrites of dependency commits. Every prerequisite still needs its own gate (mos-1351).
+
+Added library_doc_write/library_doc_delete after the five lookups, only for a creative definition
+with a within-role library.write grant and library enabled. Closed schemas carry exactly
+{universe,path,base,content} and {universe,path,base}; base is string-or-null with 40-lowercase-hex
+pattern. No project, business, author, credential, commit or message. tools.action is library.write.
+New harness/tests/library-write-tools.test.mjs pins per-role eight/ten names, both schema invariants,
+no repo/commit/business/accept, exact required/verb/action, nullable base, and missing library/grant
+or noncreative exclusion. This satisfies sage-3678 and mos-1523's replacement coverage condition.
+
+Publication's narrow helper now calls indexFor for the new served commit instead of only readLibrary,
+so the284 lookup index is rebuilt before publication. New broker integration uses library.get's
+served blob as write/delete base, independently checks served:path, reads the new text/blob immediately,
+preserves default-canon null, then sees null after delete. No change to284's query behavior.
+
+### Authorized baseline-test migration, own commit (mos-1523 via sage-3677)
+
+File: packages/harness/tests/library-tools.test.mjs. Numstat: +4/-4, exactly.
+The noncreative LOOKUPS assertion at :33 is unchanged. Every existing lookup schema assertion stays.
+The four old/new lines are:
+
+```diff
+-  ? ['web_search', 'web_fetch'] : []), ...LOOKUPS];
++  ? ['web_search', 'web_fetch'] : []), ...LOOKUPS, 'library_doc_write', 'library_doc_delete'];
+-test('M3: per-role snapshots contain six names, or eight with the C2-08 web grant', t => {
++test('M3: per-role snapshots contain eight names, or ten with the C2-08 web grant', t => {
+-  for (const [i, tool] of tools.filter(t => t.name.startsWith('library_')).entries()) {
++  for (const [i, tool] of tools.filter(t => LOOKUPS.includes(t.name)).entries()) {
+-  assert.deepEqual(tools.map(t => t.name), ['send_message', ...LOOKUPS]);
++  assert.deepEqual(tools.map(t => t.name), ['send_message', ...LOOKUPS, 'library_doc_write', 'library_doc_delete']);
+```
+
+Additional schema mutant (mos-1523): add `commit: str("caller commit")` to writeBase in tools.mjs,
+thereby adding it to either/both write schemas. The new-file schema test must fail both its exact
+property set and forbidden-property assertions. Run on CLEAR and restore. No further assertion
+change in library-tools.test.mjs is authorized or made.
+
+All code/tests/mutants remain unrun. No Node, build or syntax check before Sage's named CLEAR.
+Static diff --check is clean. Scope additions stay listed above, now including indexFor import and
+call in the previously approved narrow publication helper. E5 implementation is present; review and
+acceptance are pending evidence, not claimed complete.
+
+## 2026-10-23 testing and landing boundary (sage-3682)
+
+Latest complete dependency2845d587a552 (test/docs only over47db04eba) merged intact as f8f79ea2f.
+Own tool implementation cd2f50dae and separate mos-1523 migration29455c0c5 are pushed; Webby reads
+E5 and Dewey checks the migration. Static manifest-r1 covered21 own paths at f8f79ea2f.
+
+Sage reserves first focused runs/RED-GREEN/mutants for T7, provisionally about22:25Z, unless he
+explicitly frees an earlier lane. No Node before his CLEAR. This is a schedule, not CLEAR. Full
+library/bus/harness and shell gates still need their own authorized slot; no gate result is claimed.
+
+Before the gate, incorporate landed refactor after283/224/284 land while preserving every
+prerequisite. Under the standing add-commits/no-force-push rule, update this published branch by merge
+rather than rewriting its pushed history. 288 lands last in the chain; no landing is authorized here.
+
+## 2026-10-23 E5 static closure and N2 wording
+
+Dewey dewey-0948: the mos-1523 migration at29455c0c5 is static CLEAN, exactly+4/-4, with the
+noncreative assertion unchanged and new-file schema coverage meeting every condition. Webby
+webby-0263: E5 closed on29455c0c5/cd2f50dae (f8f79ea2f;98ca25ab1 only BUILD.md), nothing blocking.
+Both ran nothing; Webby did not read the scratch manifest, so no manifest verification is implied.
+
+Webby N2: delete inherited the write base description "or null to create". Delete now overrides only
+that description: "The existing file's blob from library_get; a missing file cannot be deleted".
+The reviewed nullable-base schema/required keys/verbs remain unchanged. The row's new schema test
+pins create wording only on write and existing-file wording without create on delete. No further
+assertion change in the baseline library-tools.test.mjs. No Node/tests run; still await Sage CLEAR.
+
+## 2026-10-23 dependency283 follow-up (honker-0195)
+
+Merged origin/honker/row283-build b2a1f4092 intact, fast-forward lineage from46bad7ea3. It changes
+supporting.test's helper and Honker's BUILD receipts only; no production source changed. Honker
+reports library98/98, business231/231 and14/14 mutants killed on that dependency head. Those are
+his dependency receipts, not verification of288's combined branch. No288 Node/tests run; Sage's
+CLEAR is still required. The dependency's own gate/landing remains Sage's responsibility.

+# Row 224 — C2-05b broker lookups and typed tools (#1725)
+
+Owner: Della; reviewer: Dewey. Assignment sage-2795; scope extension sage-2804.
+Base: `4f3fbc25a` (Researcher C2-05a). Branch: `della/row224`.
+Brief: C2-05b in `docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md` at `aca16404c`
+and `51cc0445c`; design section 3, 5.3 M3 and 7.2; C2-05a BUILD rulings.
+
+## Execution boundary and progress
+
+Code/docs and local Git only while row 253 holds the gate. No Node (including
+syntax checks), HTTPS Git, queue claim, test or push until Sage's CLEAR.
+Tests are written first; their RED/GREEN runs are deferred, not claimed.
+Queue next is deferred too: its executable uses Node. Sage assigned this row
+explicitly. After 253 and 216 land, rebase under a new branch name.
+
+- Pre-flight: query.mjs consumes `{repo,commit,mapping}`; broker cannot import
+  Git/filesystem library code because it is in the sandbox import closure.
+  Runtime injects the host lookup adapter; existing human file/status/sync stay.
+- Pre-flight: resolved has no project list and a library is never a checkout.
+  Bundle needs an explicit library flag from launcher business configuration.
+- M3 reading: exact creative base is five lookups plus send_message; retain
+  explicitly granted broker web_search/web_fetch for research/companion under
+  landed C2-08 and sage-2804. No generic spec, task, evidence or decision tools. Residual (mos-1308): those
+  reads lack broker action checks; their typed-tool absence is the only fence
+  for creative roles. M1/M2 deny bash; broker-side refusal is outside this row.
+  Mos confirmed this interpretation in mos-1308; design wording fix belongs to Gosalyn. Other definitions retain their current tools.
+- Multi-library businesses use an optional project ID; omit it only with one
+  configured library. Universe is required for all five tools, including get.
+- Missing library uses the brief's `library-not-configured`; argument errors
+  reuse `invalid-request` and C2-05a query codes. No new action or authority.
+
+## Manifest (draft code, unrun)

+No test or syntax-check run yet. Acceptance requires full bus/cli/harness suites
+and every scripts/test-*.sh on Sage's gate; focused files and affected CLI/
+seat import-closure tests precede that only in an authorized CLEAR.
+
+## Coordination
+
+Huey272 reports no runtime/bundle/launcher overlap. Rocko219 changes launcher
+THREAD_DEFINITIONS checks only, separate from our buildBundle flag argument.
+The launcher argument is required: bundle cannot derive library presence from
+checkout IDs (a library has no agent clone). No role, authority or config schema
+changes; library project entries are already validated and protected by M9.
+
+## Mount and pin impact (inspection only)
+
+No new imports in broker.mjs or tools.mjs; no RUNNER_FILES or sandbox mount
+addition. runtime.mjs is host-only and already imports library index.mjs.
+Bundle forwards only a boolean, never a root/mapping/slot/credential. The
+existing import-closure tests are bus/tests/project-runtime.test.mjs and
+seat/tests/sandbox.test.mjs. Grep found no literal sha256 pin for runtime.mjs
+or bundle.mjs; bundle tests derive current source digests through SOURCES.
+Library sources remain in the existing whole-directory release copy.
+
+## Runs to schedule only after CLEAR
+
+Set TMPDIR=/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp. Focused new bus/harness files first,
+then existing library.test.mjs, library-sync.test.mjs, project-runtime.test.mjs,
+harness creative/tools/spec-tools/bundle files and affected CLI launch tests.
+Follow with the required whole bus/cli/harness suites and Sage's full shell gate.
+No timing claim yet: use the repository/Sage per-file limits and record every
+command, outcome, elapsed time and timeout before acceptance. No focused skip
+or pattern run substitutes for whole-file gate evidence.
+
+## Read-through findings and residuals
+
+- Library get requires universe although the older design table omitted it;
+  section 3 isolation rule and C2-05a's accepted API are binding.
+- Query type enum matches mapping.TYPES (five values); manuscript is a distinct
+  lookup and not a find type. Unknown host-path/commit/business/accept fields
+  are refused; explicit project is restricted to this business's library list.
+- Async reads recheck the live holder and current project revision. A stale
+  read attempts sync, then takes the new served snapshot; a returned fetch
+  failure/divergence keeps serving the old pin. Busy sync uses the current pin.
+  Unreadable state, no served commit or unsafe configuration refuse. Query
+  and sync never hold a SQLite transaction over await.
+- Processing halt refuses new agent lookup work and rechecks before returning
+  async results. Existing human library file/status/sync behavior is unchanged.
+- Timer sync and reads still use C2-03a's 60-second contract. No timer tuning or
+  resource-limit schema is introduced by this row. Q222 creative reply settings
+  are in C2-06; no reply guard or writing capability is implemented here.
+- The generic tool socket's existing 60-second client timeout can precede the
+  server's 120-second Git timeout. This row does not change the generic timeout;
+  a timed-out lookup is read-only and retryable, never a write/outcome claim.
+- All tests are authored but unrun. No RED, GREEN, syntax, runtime performance,
+  sandbox, broker/harness suite, shell gate, claim or push evidence exists yet.
+
+## Candidate review checklist (read-through only)
+
+- [x] Five verbs mapped to real C2-05a methods, all require universe.
+- [x] Default sole library or explicit owned project; no caller repo/commit.
+- [x] Human-only file/status/sync gates kept; lookup holder rechecked.
+- [x] Async socket dispatch includes lookup verbs through LIBRARY_VERBS.
+- [x] Stale/unknown fetch syncs first; results use current immutable served pin.
+- [x] Six/eight creative names per mos-1308; other roles retain their tools.
+- [x] Launcher -> bundle -> typedTools passes presence without a library clone.
+- [x] No imports added to sandbox source closure; no mount change.
+- [ ] Execute new tests, RED characterization, full files/suites after CLEAR.
+- [ ] Rebase after rows 253/216 land, under a new branch name.
+- [ ] Claim/push only in Sage-authorized gap; Dewey review and Sage gate.
+
+Candidate preservation commits are explicitly unrun under sage-2795; they are
+not completion, green-suite or landing claims. No dependencies installed.
+
+Correction: the first committed-range diff --check found a blank line at EOF
+in the new library-tools test, missed while it was untracked. Removed in a
+follow-up local commit; the complete range must be checked again. No tests ran.
+
+## Shared-log receipts for Sage (sage-2815)
+
+The shared logs are unchanged from the base in this row. Sage appends these
+receipts in the landing sweep; they are preserved here, not in the manifest.
+
+For `BUILD-LOG.md`:
+
+```text

+
+Local-only draft pins 19c0a7adf/7cf39c390 are superseded by the
+log-free candidate. Saved as local branch della/row224-draft-with-logs before
+rebuilding the unpublished candidate commit; no remote history changed.
+
+## Dewey dewey-0852 and Sage sage-2819 — focused corrections
+
+B1: inline freshness uses max(lastFetch, lastError.at), not lastFetch alone.
+An error within 60 seconds counts as a recent attempt, so later lookups serve
+the old served pin without another fetch. Keep inline sync: the brief requires
+it and businesses without timed libraries have no sync timer. The extended
+failed-fetch test makes reads at +1, +59,999 and +60,000 ms (one attempt total),
+then +60,001 ms (second attempt). All reads must return the old commit.
+
+Required mutant M-B1: remove lastError.at from recentAttempt. The repeated
+reads must fail the attempted-count assertion. This mutant has NOT been run.
+
+Residual (Sage will defer): the first inline fetch in each outage window can
+still exceed the tool timeout (60 seconds, or the runner broker client’s
+30 seconds). Bounding that fetch is out of scope for 224. Subsequent reads
+are paced by persisted lastError.at. No claim of first-read outage latency.
+
+N1: whole bus, cli and harness suites are required, plus the shell gate.
+If the new thread-launch integration test skips due to sandboxProblem(),
+name the skip; a skip is not launcher integration proof.
+N2: cli/tests/thread-launch.test.mjs now depends on library/tests/helpers.mjs
+mappingEntry() and library/tests/fixtures/mapping.json. Changes to that fixture
+must rerun the CLI launch file.
+N3: harness/tests/library-tools.test.mjs compares the type enum to mapping.mjs
+TYPES, so adding a mapped type cannot silently leave the typed tool behind.
+
+These edits are local code/docs only. No Node, RED/GREEN run, mutant, claim,
+HTTPS Git or push. New local pin goes to Dewey/Mos/Sage for focused review.

+# Row284 C2-05c — supporting scope and served-tree blob (#1789)
+
+Owner Della; reviewer Dewey; gate Sage. Build start sage-3658/3660 (10-23).
+Branch della/row284. Original prerequisite base Honker28346bad7ea3;
+merge fc05bcbc3 carries22423816cf28 and2164f3fbc25a intact. Only conflict was
+CLI thread-launch's added footer tests: retained both full test bodies and
+assertions. No prerequisite code copied. Every prerequisite needs its own
+review/mutants/landing under mos1351; rebase after283 lands.
+
+## Execution status
+
+UNTESTED. No Node, node--check, test or mutant run before Sage CLEAR. First
+own commit is the authorized old-test migration; the implementation follows.
+Sage authorizes an immediate untested push. No queue write or shared-log edit.
+224 stays first;284 is critical to Bubba288. T4 for224 is not a CLEAR yet.
+
+## Binding readings
+
+Brief C2-05c at94c33a43c:1737-1789, Q226, sage2918 and mos1330 item3.
+get defaults canon; explicit playground/supporting opt-in; mismatch null.
+Sort full outgoing/incoming lists supporting, playground, canon before paging,
+keep cross-scope links and universe filter. Manuscript stays canon/playground.
+No all/array scope, write tool, guard, mapping or creative-name-count change.
+
+## mos-1330 old-test migration (separate commit)
+
+All paths below are packages/library/tests/query.test.mjs. Baseline file at
+fc05bcbc3 matches216's file. Source assertions retained; negative calls receive
+explicit scope too, so universe isolation cannot pass on default-scope denial.
+
+Call/assertion 348 -> 348:
+
+```js
+// OLD
+  const rin = await get(s, { universe: 'idea', path: 'Drafts/New World/Characters/Rin.md' });
+// NEW
+  const rin = await get(s, { universe: 'idea', path: 'Drafts/New World/Characters/Rin.md', scope: 'playground' });
+```
+
+Call/assertion 350 -> 350:
+
+```js
+// OLD
+  assert.equal(await get(s, { universe: 'harbor', path: 'Drafts/New World/Characters/Rin.md' }), null);
+// NEW
+  assert.equal(await get(s, { universe: 'harbor', path: 'Drafts/New World/Characters/Rin.md', scope: 'playground' }), null);
+```
+
+Call/assertion 366 -> 366:
+
+```js
+// OLD
+  assert.equal(await get(src(ref, mapping(WITH_BLEND)), { universe: 'blend', path }), null);
+// NEW
+  assert.equal(await get(src(ref, mapping(WITH_BLEND)), { universe: 'blend', path, scope: 'playground' }), null);
+```
+
+Call/assertion 367 -> 367:
+
+```js
+// OLD
+  const own = await get(src(ref), { universe: 'harbor', path });
+// NEW
+  const own = await get(src(ref), { universe: 'harbor', path, scope: 'playground' });
+```
+
+Assertion 349 retained, OLD == NEW:
+
+```js
+  assert.equal(rin.scope, 'playground');
+```
+
+Assertion 368 retained, OLD == NEW:
+
+```js
+  assert.equal(own.scope, 'playground');
+```
+
+The null assertions at350 and366 are the complete OLD/NEW expressions above:
+expectation remains null. Added one separate no-scope playground-get -> null
+behavior test. It is unrun and expected to expose old get behavior until the
+new scope implementation lands. This migration is authorized by mos1330 under
+mos1272; no check removed or weakened. Dewey checks this list in manifest review.
+
+## 283 surface and blob choice
+
+Inspected actual46bad7ea3: optional editor.user is present. reader's parsed
+file records and index entries still discard tree oid. In owned query.mjs use
+the existing bounded listTree(repo, servedCommit) to obtain exact path oid,
+not HEAD and not a user-supplied revision expression. No reader/index edit.
+Tradeoff: one additional bounded tree listing per get; latency unmeasured.
+Recheck after rebasing to283's actual landing.
+
+## Intended owned paths
+
+query.mjs; broker.mjs lookup branch; tools.mjs lookup schemas/descriptions;
+library query.test.mjs/query-fixture.mjs; bus library-lookups.test.mjs;
+harness library-tools.test.mjs; this BUILD.md. Other files are prerequisites.
+
+## Gate
+
+Dewey manifest approval, whole library/bus/harness suites and every
+scripts/test-*.sh on Sage gate. Before review grep all package tests for enum
+pins and canon/playground pairs. Keep shared logs out; send receipts to Sage.
+No test or mutant evidence claimed. Manifest/digest follows complete code.
+
+## Implementation head (UNTESTED, sage-3658)
+
+- query scope accepts supporting for find/search/get. get defaults canon,
+  mismatch null. Manuscript passes a separate two-value scope allowlist.
+- get returns blob from listTree(source.repo,index.commit) after scope/universe
+  filtering. The same index.commit supplies the text; source HEAD is irrelevant.
+- Full outgoing and incoming link lists are stably sorted by supporting,
+  playground,canon before combining/paging. All visible cross-scope links stay;
+  universe/hybrid visibility still applies. Scope metadata isn't added to links.
+- Broker only adds optional scope to library.get's strict fields. No new verbs.
+- Typed scope expands find/search/get only; manuscript retains its own two-value
+  enum. Names/M3 counts remain the row224 six/eight, no write tools added.
+- New tests: book/universe/draft supporting find/search/get; defaults/mismatch;
+  absent supporting prefix; source HEAD advances but each scope's blob equals
+  served:path; 300 outgoing plus300 incoming links ordered across bounded pages,
+  retaining cross-scope links and dropping other-universe links; hybrid source
+  stays canon-only; no all/array scope; manuscript rejects supporting; broker
+  scope/blob forwarding; typed enums and unchanged names. All unrun.
+
+## Additional old assertion pin (brief Gate)
+
+harness/tests/library-tools.test.mjs:49 at23816cf28 (line49, unchanged in this head):
+OLD find scope enum ['canon','playground']; NEW ['canon','playground','supporting'].
+This is the exact scope-enum pin the brief directs updating. Existing six/eight
+name snapshots and TYPES equality assertion are unchanged. The new manuscript
+pin intentionally remains ['canon','playground']. No other two-scope test pin
+was found by rg over packages/*/tests at this build's prerequisite merge.
+
+## Proposed mutation evidence (reviewer confirms final set)
+
+All unrun. Require assertion failures with whole-file runs and pristine restore:
+M1 remove supporting from query SCOPES -> supporting lookup cases.
+M2 drop get's requested-scope comparison -> default/mismatch null cases.
+M3 use source HEAD for blob lookup -> served-tree/advanced-HEAD equality case.
+M4 remove link rank sort -> multi-page outgoing/incoming expected order.
+M5 restrict links to requested scope -> cross-scope link counts/order case.
+M6 drop sees() from visible/link filtering -> second-universe/hybrid cases.
+M7 allow supporting in manuscript validator -> manuscript refusal case.
+M8 omit get scope from broker fields -> real broker supporting get case.
+M9 widen typed manuscript enum -> typed-scope separation case.
+
+## Inspection and pending gate
+
+No production imports change in broker/tools, so no new sandbox closure file
+or mount. query.mjs is host library code and adds existing reader.listTree;
+no new package/export/copy-path file. rg found the one old find scope pin plus
+the intentional new manuscript two-scope pin. Whole library/bus/harness and
+shell gates remain required. CLI integration/merge context is prerequisite224/
+219, not this row's source delta; any changed gate expectation goes to Sage.
+Node checks, tests, mutants and elapsed-time evidence remain absent pending
+CLEAR. The first test-migration commit and this implementation are distinct.
+
+Sage sweep receipt: Della row284 builds on28346bad7ea3 plus intact224 merge;
+mos1330 old-test migration separate, supporting scope/blob implementation and
+fixtures authored, completely UNTESTED. No shared-log/queue write or live action.
+
+## Current assertion anchors after implementation imports
+
+The separate migration commit0ed4fbab9 retains its complete OLD/NEW text
+above. Adding only the fs/path imports in the implementation shifts anchors:
+
+query.test.mjs:130: `const blendCh2 = await get(src(ref, mapping(WITH_BLEND)), { universe: 'blend', path: 'Book One/Chapters/Chapter 02.md' });`
+query.test.mjs:350: `const rin = await get(s, { universe: 'idea', path: 'Drafts/New World/Characters/Rin.md', scope: 'playground' });`
+query.test.mjs:351: `assert.equal(rin.scope, 'playground');`
+query.test.mjs:352: `assert.equal(await get(s, { universe: 'harbor', path: 'Drafts/New World/Characters/Rin.md', scope: 'playground' }), null);`
+query.test.mjs:368: `assert.equal(await get(src(ref, mapping(WITH_BLEND)), { universe: 'blend', path, scope: 'playground' }), null);`
+query.test.mjs:369: `const own = await get(src(ref), { universe: 'harbor', path, scope: 'playground' });`
+query.test.mjs:370: `assert.equal(own.scope, 'playground');`
+
+No result/null assertion changed; scope arguments carry the explicit opt-in.
+
+## Dewey dewey-0941 static review — round2
+
+Static scope fc05bcbc3..47db04eba CLEAN; not a final verdict or test evidence.
+M1-M9 accepted as the final set. Optional M10 not added to this gate.
+N2 taken: keep the existing canon-path supporting-scope mismatch assertion,
+and ADD get(Book One/Support/Notes/Helper.md,scope:supporting) -> null under
+the default mapping with no supporting prefix. The supporting-positive test
+already returns this same path under withSupporting, so the added probe
+pins the missing-prefix case directly. No assertion removed or weakened;
+mos1330's separate migration commit and its retained assertions unchanged.
+
+N1 proposed DEFERRED/follow-up for Sage: retain each tree oid in reader/index
+entries so get can return blob without cat-file/whole ls-tree -r -l per page.
+Current get's result is pinned correctly, but per-page cost grows with the
+library. No performance measurement yet. This optimization needs reader/index
+ownership and separate acceptance/performance evidence; do not silently expand
+284's manifest or change its served-snapshot contract for it.
+
+No Node, tests, mutants or syntax checks run in this round; hold still applies.

+# Row 283 (#1788) C2-01d build notes (Honker)
+
+Append-only. Design: DESIGN.md d2 16e809457, APPROVE webby-0172. Gate owner Sage, reviewer Webby.
+
+## 2026-10-23 build on 45dca69f6 (sage-3577)
+
+Branch honker/row283-build from origin/refactor 45dca69f6e4bce52834587f66f2ff33ba839ab8a. The old branch
+honker/row283 (16e809457) held only the design, so its two commits were cherry-picked as 398314cf4
+(d1) and 4f66dccde (d2). The DESIGN.md blob equals 16e809457's.
+
+Commits:
+- 331653b38: code, README and tests T1-T8.
+- 28918824c: the survey.test:73 re-pin, alone (mos-1330 item 4).
+- this file.
+
+Nothing has run. No node, test or mutant ran during the build: Darkwing held the slot. Every count
+below is a plan until Sage's CLEAR.
+
+### Drift check (sage-3577)
+
+`git diff --stat 94c33a43c 45dca69f6` (design base to build base) over the paths the tests read or
+hash-pin:
+- No change in packages/library, packages/business/src/business.mjs or
+  packages/business/tests/business.test.mjs.
+- No test hash-pins a library file. bus library.test and library-sync.test import index.mjs, and
+  stack-copy.test only checks that index.mjs exists.
+- webui library-cli.test changed one line and doesn't read scope. The `classify` in webui reads.mjs is
+  the business one, not the library's.
+
+I redo the drift check on BASE..refactor before the in-review move.
+
+### N3 (webby-0169): deepEquals of the mapping output outside packages/library
+
+`git grep -n playground -- 'packages/*/tests/*' ':!packages/library/*'` and the files naming
+`universes` give two files:
+- business.test.mjs:20 compares `validateBusinessDocument(...).projects.books` with
+  `checkMapping(mappingEntry())`. That is output against output, so `supporting: []` shows up on both
+  sides. :27 compares only `.playground`.
+- library-projects-protected.test.mjs compares file bytes (:31, :32) and change paths (:58), never the
+  mapping output.
+
+No re-pin is needed outside library. Inside library, only the draft deepEqual at mapping.test:48 gains
+`supporting: []`, as the design says.
+
+### Q1 departure (sage-2923) and the :73 re-pin (mos-1330 item 4)
+
+survey.mjs:65 counts `supporting: 0` and formatSurvey prints it. T8 is the only added test
+(survey.test "C2-01d: with --mapping the survey counts supporting files").
+
+mos-1330 item 4, packages/library/tests/survey.test.mjs:73, commit 28918824c:
+- old: `'scopes canon 5, playground 1, unmapped 3; indexed 6',`
+- new: `'scopes canon 5, playground 1, supporting 0, unmapped 3; indexed 6',`
+
+N2: the pin gains only `supporting 0`. No other text on the line or in that test moved.
+
+### Q2 tradeoff (webby-0169)
+
+A supporting prefix that holds a playground prefix refuses `library-mapping-invalid`. That goes past
+the brief, but it is the fail-closed reading, and it uses an existing code: classify checks supporting
+first, so that playground prefix could never match. The cost is that she can't nest a playground under
+a supporting folder, though she can nest the other way (a playground holding a supporting folder).
+
+### Handoffs
+
+- Q4 (webby-0169, sage-2930): the M12 delete rule ("A delete also needs the path to exist at the tip as
+  a 100644 blob", case2 DESIGN.md :308) is not in supportingPath. It binds row 288 (C2-02) via Gitea
+  #1793 comment 30738, with tests for a missing path and a non-100644 entry.
+- A save with no `editor` refusing is C2-02's (DESIGN.md section 1).
+
+### Choices the design left open
+
+- The book loop is now `againstBooks(owners, list, code)` in mapping.mjs, called once per list. The
+  playground's messages and codes are byte-equal to before.
+- A non-string path refuses `library-write-story-path` ("the path must be a string") as part of
+  check 1. A non-array `tree` is a TypeError (DESIGN.md section 3).
+- Check 8 builds the tree's names as every path and every folder above it, keyed by
+  `normalize('NFC').toLowerCase()`. A name on the way refuses if its key holds any name other than
+  itself, so a tree that already holds case twins refuses a write to either (R7).
+
+### Mutants (exact strings)
+
+Each applies one replacement to the build tip. Run one at a time, and restore with `git checkout --`
+on the one file before the next.
+
+| Mutant | File | Replace | With | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| M1 | src/scope.mjs | `const prefix = entry.supporting.find(p => inside(p, path));` | `const prefix = entry.supporting.find(p => inside(p, path) && !entry.playground.some(q => inside(q, path)));` | scope.test "supporting comes before playground", supporting.test "passes at book level" (both-lists path) |
+| M2 | src/mapping.mjs | `if ((inside \|\| holding) && owner !== id)` | `if ((inside \|\| holding) && owner !== id && list !== 'supporting')` | mapping.test "each supporting prefix rule", business.test C2-04 |
+| M3 | src/supporting.mjs | `for (const p of own) if (LINKS.has(modes.get(p)))` | `for (const p of own) if (false && LINKS.has(modes.get(p)))` | supporting.test "symlink or gitlink" |
+| M4 | src/supporting.mjs | `const fold = name => name.normalize('NFC').toLowerCase();` | `const fold = name => name.normalize('NFC');` | supporting.test "case or Unicode form" |
+| M4b | src/supporting.mjs | `const fold = name => name.normalize('NFC').toLowerCase();` | `const fold = name => name.toLowerCase();` | supporting.test "case or Unicode form" (NFD case) |
+| M5 | src/supporting.mjs | `Buffer.byteLength(path, 'utf8') > MAX_BYTES` | `path.length > MAX_BYTES` | supporting.test "1025 bytes" |
+| M6 | src/mapping.mjs | `const IDENT_BAD = /[\u0000-\u001f\u007f-\u009f<>]/;` | `const IDENT_BAD = /[<>]/;` | mapping.test "editor is optional" |
+| M6b | src/mapping.mjs | `const IDENT_BAD = /[\u0000-\u001f\u007f-\u009f<>]/;` | `const IDENT_BAD = /[\u0000-\u001f\u007f-\u009f]/;` | mapping.test "editor is optional" |
+| M7 | src/supporting.mjs | `if (place.scope !== 'supporting' \|\| place.universe !== universe)` | `if (place.scope !== 'supporting')` | supporting.test "outside the universe's supporting folders" |
+| M8 | src/mapping.mjs | `if (sid === pid && s !== p && holds(s, p))` | `if (false && sid === pid && s !== p && holds(s, p))` | mapping.test "each supporting prefix rule" (Workshop case) |
+
+(The `\|` in the table is an escaped `|` in the source text.) Each mutant runs the one test file named,
+plus business.test for M2, under `timeout -k 10 600`. A mutant passes the gate only when its run is red
+on the named test and the restored file's sha256 equals the build tip's.
+
+### Gate plan (on Sage's CLEAR)
+
+1. The touched files whole, each under `timeout -k 10 600`: library mapping, scope, supporting and
+   survey tests, and business.test.mjs. Counts go below.
+2. M1-M8 as above.
+3. The full gate, under mos-1275 timeouts: `node --test packages/library/tests/` and
+   `node --test packages/business/tests/` each under `timeout -k 10 1800`, and every scripts/test-*.sh
+   under `timeout -k 10 300`. pipefail and tee, with skips named (test-task Docker groups).
+4. Before in-review: grep packages/*/tests for a 64-hex pin on any changed file and for the changed
+   message text, then the drift check on BASE..refactor.
+
+## 2026-10-23 Webby early look (webby-0227, static, not a verdict)
+
+- E1: business.test.mjs is an existing test file with a 4-line addition after the playground refusal.
+  The in-review request lists it next to survey.test:73.
+- E3 fixed: supportingPath now runs the string check before `JSON.stringify`, so a BigInt (or any
+  non-string) path refuses `library-write-story-path` instead of throwing a TypeError.
+  supporting.test's string case now covers 7, null, undefined, 1n and an array.
+- E2 open: `editor` takes surrounding whitespace, and git trims it at commit, so the saved ident and
+  the commit ident can differ. DESIGN.md section 1 says "non-empty after trim". Refusing
+  `value.trim() !== value` would change that approved rule, so it went to Sage instead of into the
+  build.
+
+## 2026-10-23 E2 departure (sage-3601)
+
+A departure from DESIGN.md section 1 (which stays unedited). The design says each `editor` value is
+"non-empty after trim". Sage ruled that surrounding whitespace refuses too, because git trims an
+ident at commit, so a padded value would save one name and commit another. mapping.mjs now adds
+`if (value.trim() !== value) bad(`editor.${key} must not start or end with whitespace`)` after the
+IDENT_BAD check. `trim()` covers Unicode whitespace, so U+00A0 and U+3000 refuse as well. Inner
+whitespace is kept ("Her  Middle Name" passes).
+
+T3 gains a case per key for leading, trailing and both-ends spaces, U+00A0 and U+3000, plus one inner
+whitespace pass.
+
+M6 grows a third part:
+
+| Mutant | File | Replace | With | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| M6c | src/mapping.mjs | `if (value.trim() !== value) bad(` | `if (false && value.trim() !== value) bad(` | mapping.test "editor is optional" (padded cases) |
+
+Fixture grep: `git grep -nE "\beditor\b|\bauthor\b" -- 'packages/library/tests/*' 'packages/business/tests/*'`,
+leaving out mapping.test.mjs, finds nothing. packages/business/tests has no fixtures directory. The
+library fixture mapping.json has no `editor`. The positive control (`vaultPrefix` in mapping.json)
+matches once. No fixture maps an editor or author with surrounding whitespace.
+
+## 2026-10-23 E4 (webby-0230, sage-3606), same departure as E2
+
+Claimed: `queue move 283 in-progress`, op honker-283-start, rev 3642, 19:10:49Z (briefed→in-progress).
+
+Git's ident.c `crud()` strips any byte <= 0x20 and `, : ; < > " \ '` from both ends of an ident. I
+checked that with git 2.55.0: `Jane,` `"Jane"` `'Jane'` `Jane;` `Jane:` `Jane\` and `,Jane` all
+commit as `Jane`, while `Jane.` and `Ja,ne` are kept. mapping.mjs now takes the set from crud()
+rather than from that list: `IDENT_CRUD_END = /^[\u0000-\u0020,:;<>"\\']|[\u0000-\u0020,:;<>"\\']$/`.
+The E2 check became `if (value.trim() !== value || IDENT_CRUD_END.test(value))`, which refuses
+library-mapping-invalid with "editor.<key> must not start or end with whitespace or any of , : ; " ' \".
+`trim()` still catches Unicode whitespace (U+00A0, U+3000), which crud() leaves alone.
+
+Inner characters: IDENT_BAD (`/[\u0000-\u001f\u007f-\u009f<>]/`) already refuses `<`, `>`, newline,
+tab and every other control anywhere in the value. T3 now pins that at the start, the end and the
+middle. Inner `, : ; " ' \` are kept, since git keeps them, and T3 pins that too.
+
+Tests:
+- T3 has one case per character in [space, U+00A0, U+3000, `,`, `:`, `;`, `"`, `'`, `\`], at the start
+  and at the end, for each key. `<`, `>`, newline and tab are pinned at the start, end and middle.
+  Four accepted names have inner crud characters.
+- New round-trip test, "an accepted editor round-trips through a real git commit unchanged". It
+  commits in a scratch repo with editor `Doe, Jane Q.` / `[email protected].` as author and
+  committer, with GIT_AUTHOR_* and GIT_COMMITTER_* stripped from the env, and asserts `git log`
+  shows exactly the saved values. I preflighted that commit with git 2.55.0 by hand: both values came
+  back unchanged.
+
+M6c now replaces the whole end check (this supersedes the earlier M6c row):
+
+| Mutant | File | Replace | With | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| M6c | src/mapping.mjs | `if (value.trim() !== value \|\| IDENT_CRUD_END.test(value))` | `if (false)` | mapping.test "editor is optional" (end cases) |
+| M6d | src/mapping.mjs | `if (value.trim() !== value \|\| IDENT_CRUD_END.test(value))` | `if (value.trim() !== value)` | mapping.test "editor is optional" (`,` `:` `;` `"` `'` `\` cases) |
+
+## 2026-10-23 E5 (webby-0236, not blocking), fixed
+
+The round-trip test stripped only GIT_AUTHOR_* and GIT_COMMITTER_*. With GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE or
+GIT_INDEX_FILE set (inside a hook, say), GIT_DIR beats `-C root` and the commit would land in the
+outer repo, and the test read global and system config. It now deletes GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE,
+GIT_COMMON_DIR and GIT_INDEX_FILE (as queue/tests/helpers.mjs gitEnv does) and sets
+GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null and GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1 (as ledger.test.mjs does). The `-c user.*`
+ident still applies. Test only; no mutant changes.
+
+## 2026-10-23 sage-2925: optional editor.user (sage-3649)
+
+sage-2925 (recorded in ludwig/row286-r2 agents/ludwig/work/queue-286/BUILD.md, Q4) ruled that row 283
+adds an optional `editor.user`, her Gitea login for the `library-human` slot, which row 288 (C2-02)
+passes to `humanCredential(context, {user})`. It reached this row after the DESIGN.md d2 approval
+(ludwig-0068, bubba-0009, sage-3649), so it departs from DESIGN.md section 1 ("exactly the keys
+`name` and `email`"). DESIGN.md stays unedited.
+
+- mapping.mjs: `only(entry.editor, ['name', 'email', 'user'], 'editor')`. When present, `user` must be
+  a string matching USER (`/^[A-Za-z0-9_.-]{1,100}$/`, the entry `user` check), else
+  library-mapping-invalid "editor.user must be a plain account name". The output carries `user` only
+  when given. An absent `editor.user` refusing library-human-missing is 288's (bubba-0009).
+- README: the `editor` line names `user` and the end-character rule from E2/E4.
+- Tests: T3 (mapping.test "editor is optional") gains one accepted case (`her.login-1`, kept in the
+  output) and refused cases for '', an inner space, '@', 101 characters, 7 and null. They go in
+  mapping.test with the other editor cases, not in the new supporting.test, which tests write paths.
+- No test outside mapping.test reads `editor` or pins mapping.mjs or README (git grep).
+
+| Mutant | File | Replace | With | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| M6e | src/mapping.mjs | `if (Object.hasOwn(entry.editor, 'user') && (typeof entry.editor.user !== 'string' \|\| !USER.test(entry.editor.user)))` | `if (false)` | mapping.test "editor is optional" (editor.user refusals) |
+| M6f | src/mapping.mjs | `...(Object.hasOwn(entry.editor, 'user') ? { user: entry.editor.user } : {})` | `...({})` | mapping.test "editor is optional" (`her.login-1` kept) |
+

+
+Node v26.8.1. refactor was e2b873390 (226 landed); `git diff --stat 45dca69f6 e2b873390 -- packages/library

+how to serialize a BigInt`. The cause was the test helper, not the product: `refuses()` labelled each
+assertion with `JSON.stringify(path)`, and the 1n case added for E3 can't be stringified. In c18ad3e12
+the label uses `util.inspect(path)`, a 2-line test-only change. The product's 1n refusal was never in
+question: supportingPath type-checks before it stringifies (E3). The whole run below is on c18ad3e12.

+# Row 283 (#1788) C2-01d design, draft 2 (Honker)
+
+Brief: docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md "C2-01d" at refactor 94c33a43c. Sources: the design at
+agents/gosalyn/work/case2/DESIGN.md b68d79663, the ruling after r11 (:207), the M12 paragraph (:300),
+1.1 (:755) and 1.2 (:817). Base 94c33a43c. Reviewer Webby, gate owner Sage. Nothing is built yet. The
+build waits for 282 to land (sage-2906).
+
+## 1. Mapping (packages/library/src/mapping.mjs)
+
+`supporting`:
+- Every universe kind takes an optional `supporting` list: plain `['name','books','playground','supporting']`,
+  hybrid adds it to its seven keys, and a draft gets `['kind','name','playground','supporting']`.
+- Each value is checked as a playground prefix is: a string ending in `/` whose body passes `folder()`.
+- The output carries `supporting` on every universe, `[]` when absent, the way a draft carries
+  `books: []`. classify then needs no `?? []`. The business writer writes the raw document
+  (organization.mjs:195), not this output, so no business file changes shape.
+- The prefix rules, across every entry (ruling after r11):
+  - A supporting prefix holding another supporting prefix, or one listed twice, refuses
+    `library-mapping-invalid`.
+  - A prefix equal to one of its own entry's book folders, or holding one, refuses `library-mapping-invalid`.
+  - A prefix inside or holding another entry's book folder refuses `library-supporting-other-universe`.
+  - Level comes from where the prefix sits, as for the playground: inside one of its own entry's books
+    is book level, and outside every book is universe level. A draft's prefixes are all universe level.
+- Between the two lists (my choice, Q2):
+  - A supporting prefix may equal a playground prefix of the same entry. That folder is writable.
+  - A playground prefix may hold a supporting prefix of the same entry. The inner folder is supporting
+    and the rest stays playground.
+  - A supporting prefix that holds a playground prefix refuses `library-mapping-invalid`. classify
+    checks supporting first, so that playground prefix could never match.
+  - A supporting prefix equal to, holding or inside a playground prefix of another entry refuses
+    `library-mapping-invalid`. Otherwise one path would have two universes.
+- The book loop at mapping.mjs:128-140 becomes a helper that both lists call with their own code and
+  label. The playground's messages and codes stay byte-equal, so no existing test text moves.
+
+`editor`:
+- The entry takes an optional `editor`. When present, it is an object with exactly the keys `name` and
+  `email` (via `only()`). Each value is a string that is non-empty after trim and has no control
+  character (`[\u0000-\u001f\u007f-\u009f]`), `<` or `>` (webby-0169 R1: git drops them from an ident
+  and commits under a different name, so C2-02 would never see a failure). Anything else refuses
+  `library-mapping-invalid`.
+- The output carries `editor: { name, email }` only when present, as `user` and `vaultPrefix` do. A save
+  with no `editor` refusing is C2-02's job.
+
+## 2. Scope (scope.mjs)
+
+- `classify` gets a supporting loop before the playground loop (design 1.2). It returns `place(...)`
+  with `{ scope: 'supporting', universe, book }`. The book is the book folder holding the prefix, or
+  null at universe level and in a draft. The type and folder come from the first folder under the
+  prefix, as for the playground.
+- The `.md` check stays first, so a `.canvas` or `.base` under a supporting prefix stays unmapped.
+- The comment above `classify` names the three prefix scopes and the order.
+
+## 3. supportingPath (new supporting.mjs)
+
+`supportingPath(mapping, universe, path, tree)` returns `path` or throws
+`LibraryError('library-write-story-path', ...)`. It is pure and reads no git.
+
+- `tree` is the array `listTree` returns (reader.mjs:26, `{ mode, type, oid, size, path }`), so the
+  C2-02 broker passes its listing as it is (Q3). A non-array `tree` throws a TypeError, because that is
+  a caller bug, not a path class.
+- The checks run in this order, each with its own message naming the class:
+  1. The path must be a string of at most 1,024 UTF-8 bytes (`Buffer.byteLength`).
+  2. It must have no control character, using the same control class as `editor` (not `<` or `>`).
+  3. It must have no backslash.
+  4. It must not be absolute (a leading `/`).
+  5. It must have no empty, `.` or `..` segment. That also catches `//` and a trailing `/`.
+  6. `classify(mapping, path)` must give scope `supporting` and that same `universe`. This one check
+     covers an unknown universe, an unmapped path, a `.canvas`, `.base` or attachment, a canon or
+     story path, a playground path that isn't also supporting, and another universe's prefix. The scope
+     rule then has one source, and M1 below hits both.
+  7. Every proper prefix of the path (`a`, `a/b`, ...) and the path itself must not be in `tree` with
+     mode `120000` (symlink) or `160000` (gitlink).
+  8. No prefix of the path, and not the path itself, may equal a tree path or a tree directory
+     (derived from the entries' paths) after `normalize('NFC').toLowerCase()` on both sides, unless
+     it equals that tree path exactly. NFC as well as case, because APFS treats NFC and NFD forms of
+     a name as one file (webby-0169 N1).
+     Directories are checked too, because the folders under a supporting prefix are hers to name. A
+     path in a tree that holds both `a.md` and `A.md` refuses, which matches R7.
+- The refusal messages quote the path with JSON, except for the control-character class, whose message
+  leaves the path out.
+- The delete rule ("A delete also needs the path to exist at the tip as a 100644 blob", M12) isn't in
+  the brief's supportingPath list. It stays with C2-02's delete (Q4).
+  The C2-02 brief doesn't name it (only design :308), so BUILD.md carries it to C2-02 under Handoffs
+  (webby-0169 Q4).
+- index.mjs exports `supportingPath`.
+
+## 4. README (packages/library/README.md)
+
+- Mapping: `supporting` and its rules, the cross-list rules, and `editor`.
+- Refusals: a `library-supporting-other-universe` row, and the new cases in the
+  `library-mapping-invalid` row.
+- Scope: supporting first, then playground, then canon.
+- A new section, "Agent write paths", for supportingPath and its classes.
+
+## 5. Callers of classify outside files owned (Q1 for Sage)
+
+- survey.mjs:65 builds `{ canon: 0, playground: 0, unmapped: 0 }` and increments
+  `scopes[classify(...).scope]`. A supporting file adds `supporting: NaN`, and formatSurvey (:92) never
+  prints it. I propose a departure: add `supporting: 0` and print it, so the line becomes
+  `scopes canon 5, playground 1, supporting 0, unmapped 3; indexed 6`. That re-pins survey.test:73 and
+  adds a count test. Without it, the survey reports garbage once she marks a folder. The departure
+  covers two files, packages/library/src/survey.mjs and packages/library/tests/survey.test.mjs.
+- No change in the rest, each for a reason:
+  - reader.mjs:183 skips only unmapped, so supporting files are indexed like playground files.
+  - R5 (:207) flags only canon to playground, as design 1.3 R5 says. A canon link to a supporting file
+    raises nothing.
+  - render.mjs:23 gives supporting a null badge. The supporting badge belongs to C2-10b (design :1415).
+  - mirror.mjs:246 refuses only unmapped. Reading supporting files by scope is C2-05c's.
+  - No bus or webui source filters on scope (git grep at 94c33a43c).
+- M9 already protects the whole `projects` key from agent edits (library-projects-protected.test). No
+  test is added there.
+
+## 6. Tests
+
+- mapping.test:
+  - T1: `supporting` at book level, at universe level, in a hybrid and in a draft. The output carries
+    it, with `[]` when absent. The draft `deepEqual` at :48 gains `supporting: []`.
+  - T2: one test per prefix rule.
+    - These refuse `library-mapping-invalid`: no trailing `/`, a bad folder, one holding another, one
+      listed twice, one equal to its own book, one holding its own book, one holding a playground
+      prefix, and one overlapping another entry's playground.
+    - These refuse `library-supporting-other-universe`: one inside another universe's book, and one
+      holding another universe's book.
+    - An equal same-entry playground passes.
+  - T3: `editor` passes, and absent passes. It refuses `library-mapping-invalid` for a non-object, an
+    array, an extra key, a missing key, an empty or blank value, a non-string, and a control character,
+    `<` or `>` in either value.
+- scope.test, T4:
+  - Supporting at book level, universe level and in a draft each give their universe and book.
+  - A folder in both lists is `supporting`, and a playground-only folder is `playground`.
+  - A supporting `.canvas` or `.base` is unmapped.
+- supporting.test (new):
+  - T5 passes at book level, universe level, in a draft, in a both-lists folder, and at exactly 1,024 bytes.
+  - T6 has one refusal per class against a fixture tree with a symlink, a gitlink and a case variant.
+    The classes are:
+    - unmapped, `.canvas`, `.base`, an attachment, canon, playground-only, another universe's
+      supporting prefix, and an unknown universe;
+    - absolute, `..`, `.`, `//`, a trailing `/`, a backslash, a C0 control and DEL;
+    - a symlink folder, a gitlink folder, and a symlink at the path itself;
+    - a case-variant file, a case-variant folder, and an NFD-form variant of an NFC tree name;
+    - 1,025 bytes made with a multi-byte character, so bytes and characters differ.
+  - Each asserts the code `library-write-story-path`.
+- business.test: T7 adds one assertion that `validateBusinessDocument` refuses
+  `library-supporting-other-universe`.
+- survey.test (only if Q1 is approved): T8 counts one supporting file, and :73 is re-pinned.
+
+## 7. Mutants (exact strings go in BUILD.md)
+
+| Mutant | Change | Killed by |
+|---|---|---|
+| M1 | classify checks playground before supporting (the brief's mutant) | T4 both-lists, T5 both-lists |
+| M2 | the other-universe fail for supporting is dropped | T2 |
+| M3 | the symlink and gitlink check is dropped | T6 |
+| M4 | the case check is dropped | T6 |
+| M4b | check 8 drops `normalize('NFC')` | T6 NFD variant |
+| M5 | the byte length uses `path.length` | T6 1,025 bytes |
+| M6 | the `editor` control-character check is dropped | T3 |
+| M6b | the `editor` `<` and `>` check is dropped | T3 |
+| M7 | supportingPath skips the universe match | T6 other universe |
+| M8 | the supporting-holds-playground check is dropped | T2 |
+
+## 8. Gate
+
+- Webby approves the manifest.
+- The library and business suites and every scripts/test-*.sh are green on Sage's gate.
+- Timeouts (mos-1275): each package `timeout -k 10 1800`, each script `timeout -k 10 300`, each single
+  file and mutant `timeout -k 10 600`. These come from my row 256 gate at 10:34Z.
+- Before in-review, grep packages/*/tests for 64-hex pins on the changed files and for the changed
+  message text, then drift-check BASE..refactor.
+
+## 9. Questions
+
+- Q1 (Sage): approve the survey.mjs and survey.test.mjs departure in section 5?
+- Q2 (Webby): the cross-list rules in section 1?
+- Q3 (Webby): `tree` as the `listTree` array?
+- Q4 (Webby): the delete's 100644 check stays with C2-02?
+- Q5 (Webby): `editor` refuses only blank values and control characters, as the brief says. `<` and `>`
+  would break a git ident. I'd leave them to C2-02's commit step unless you want them refused here.
+
+## 10. Draft 2 (webby-0169)
+
+- R1 folded: `editor` refuses `<` and `>` too, with T3 cases and mutant M6b.
+- Q2 accepted. BUILD.md records the tradeoff: refusing a supporting prefix that holds a playground
+  prefix goes past the brief, but it is the fail-closed reading and uses an existing code. The cost
+  is that she can't nest a playground under a supporting folder, though she can nest the other way.
+- Q3 accepted. Q4: carried to C2-02 under Handoffs in BUILD.md, and Sage was asked to add it to C2-02's brief.
+- N1 folded into check 8 (NFC and case), with an NFD case in T6 and mutant M4b.
+- N2: the survey.test:73 pin gains only `supporting`, and the count test is the only addition
+  (mos-1330, its own commit).
+- N3: before the build, re-grep tests outside packages/library for a `deepEqual` of the mapping output
+  on the build base.

+
+- `packages/library/src/sync.mjs:32` `syncCommand(kind, url, {mirror, branch, user, slot})`. It refuses
+  any kind but `fetch`. The env passes `MOSAIC_LIBRARY_HOST`, `_USER` and `_SLOT` to `bin/askpass`.
+- `bin/askpass` checks `-f` and `! -L` on the slot, then reads it. It doesn't check the uid or the mode.
+- `sync.mjs:51` `slotPresent` checks lstat: a regular file, our uid, no group or other bits.
+- The slot path is built in `packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs:211-217` (`syncOptions`) as
+  `<configDir>/secrets/<business>/library-gitea`. The broker only calls `this.#library.sync(context,
+  {accept})` (`broker.mjs:4630`), and the timer calls `libraryModule.sync` directly (`runtime.mjs:533`).
+- The sync state file has a strict key list in `packages/library/src/mirror.mjs:222`.
+- `chief-of-staff` is a definition (`STAFF_TO`, `broker.mjs:240`), not a fixed instance name.
+- A seat's Gitea user is in `gitea_grants.user` and `gitea_users`. Its token file is
+  `<storeRoot>/<business>/<agent>/gitea` (`gitea-grant.mjs:379`). `giteaKeys.held(business, agent)`
+  answers the held case.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. `syncCommand(kind, url, {mirror, branch, user, file, commit})`. `kind` is `fetch` or `push`. Same
+   `SAFE` prefix, `-c` keys and env for both. A push is
+   `push --porcelain --no-verify --end-of-options <url> <commit>:refs/heads/<branch>`, with no `+`.
+   `commit` must be a full sha. The env var stays `MOSAIC_LIBRARY_SLOT` but now names whichever file
+   answers: a seat file, the chief's file, slot `library-gitea` or slot `library-human`.
+2. `push(context, {commit, credential, retried, command})` in `sync.mjs`. git's porcelain line for
+   the ref decides:
+   - `!` with `[rejected]` and `(fetch first)` or `(non-fast-forward)` means the tip moved. Fetch once
+     with the same credential and return `{pushed: false, raced: true, tip}`. With `retried: true`, the
+     same rejection refuses `stale-base`. C2-02 owns the re-apply.
+   - Any other failure refuses `library-push-failed`. git's stderr isn't kept.
+   - A remote that fails C2-04's URL rules refuses `library-remote-invalid` before any git call.
+3. `bin/askpass` gets `readSecretFile`'s checks, the same way: no symlink, the bus's uid, mode 0600.
+   In sh: `test -f && test ! -L && test -O`, plus a mode check through `stat -c %a`. Only the path
+   reaches that argv. The user check stays an exact match on the one configured user. The check and the
+   read happen at different times (TOCTOU). The bus owns the directories, so I take that as the
+   accepted limit (Q1).
+4. Credential choice for the fetch, as a pure function `fetchCredential(store, business, keys)` in the
+   bus. The broker exposes it, and `runtime.mjs` passes its answer to `sync` for the verb and the timer:
+   - The chief is the one instance whose definition is `chief-of-staff`.
+   - Evidence: `SELECT 1 FROM events WHERE business=? AND ${GRANT_EVIDENCE} AND
+     json_extract(body,'$.method')='gitea' AND json_extract(body,'$.agent')=?`, of any action. It
+     names no project and never reads `gitea_grants`.
+   - No evidence: slot `library-gitea`, `{kind: 'slot'}`.
+   - Evidence, a live `gitea_grants` row for the chief and not held: `{kind: 'chief', user, file}`,
+     with the user from that row. The fallback test never reads the table. This path does, because it
+     needs the user.
+   - Evidence and anything else (revoked, fired or held): `library-fetch-no-grant`, before any file is
+     opened.
+   - No chief instance (fired): Q2.
+5. The sync state gets `credential: {kind, user} | null`. `library.status` shows it.
+   `library-fetch-no-grant` shows as `lastError.code`. This changes `mirror.mjs`'s key check (Q3).
+6. Slot `library-human` is `<configDir>/secrets/<business>/library-human`. `humanCredential(...)`
+   refuses `library-human-missing` before any git call when the slot is missing or fails the file checks
+   (lstat: regular file, our uid, 0600). Her Gitea user: Q4.
+
+## Files owned extension (sage-2922)
+
+Added to the brief's list: `packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs` (`syncOptions` at :211-217 and the timer's
+call at :533) and `packages/library/src/mirror.mjs` (the state key list at :222). sage-2922 wrote
+`packages/library/src/runtime.mjs`, but the file is `packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs`. In mirror.mjs
+the row 222 contract holds: keys are added and none renamed. Before in-review I grep `packages/*/tests`
+for hash pins and path reads on both files and check them against every in-review manifest.
+
+## Scope questions (for Dewey and Sage before code)
+
+- Q1. The askpass TOCTOU above. Is it accepted as is, or should the helper be a node script that does
+  O_NOFOLLOW plus fstat? If node, it would read the token in process and print it to git's pipe.
+- Q2. Fired chief. The instance and its `gitea_grants` row are gone, so I can't name the agent for the
+  evidence check. My recommendation fails safe: with no chief instance, the fetch refuses
+  `library-fetch-no-grant` when any gitea grant event exists in the business, and uses the slot only
+  when none exists.
+- Q3. Files owned names `sync.mjs`, `askpass`, `broker.mjs` and the tests. The choice also needs
+  `packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs` (`syncOptions` and the timer's call) and
+  `packages/library/src/mirror.mjs` (the state key list for `credential`). I'd add both to the
+  manifest, with only those hunks changed.
+- Q3: approved, sage-2922. See above.
+- Q4: sage-2922 allowed `user` only if design 7.2 or the ruling after r11 makes it her account. Neither
+  does. `packages/library/README.md:31` at 94c33a43c says "`user` is the bot account name from design
+  step 3, required for sync", so it is the fetch identity and can't be reused for her save. Back to Sage.
+  My recommendation: `humanCredential(context, {user})` takes her login as a parameter, so this row adds no
+  mapping field. The row that adds the save, C2-02 or C2-11a with `editor`, names the field. That
+  needs a mapping schema change, which is Sage's call.
+  Ruled sage-2925: accepted. `humanCredential(context, {user})` refuses `library-human-missing` before
+  any git call when the slot is missing or bad or `user` is missing. This row adds no mapping field.
+  Row 283 (C2-01d) adds an optional `editor.user`, and row 288 (C2-02) passes it in.
+- Q4 (original). Her Gitea user for `library-human`. The entry's `user` (`mapping.mjs:52`) is today the sync
+  user, the bot's. The design names `editor {name, email}` (C2-11a) but no Gitea login. My
+  recommendation: the entry's `user` becomes her Gitea login, used only with slot `library-human`. The
+  fallback fetch keeps that same user too, because the bot slot was set up for it. Otherwise this row
+  takes the user as a parameter and C2-02 or C2-12b names the field.
+
+## Tests (brief list, mapped)
+
+T1 push lands a fast-forward. T2 a moved tip reports the race. T3 a second race refuses `stale-base`.
+T4 a dead remote refuses `library-push-failed`. T5 askpass answers with the named seat's user and file,
+and refuses another seat's user, a symlink, 0644 and another uid (with a fallback note if the test can't
+chown). T6 the fetch uses the chief's file with a live grant, and the slot only with no chief event.
+T7 revoked (through `grants.revoke`), fired (through `instance.fire`) and held each refuse
+`library-fetch-no-grant` with a valid slot present, and each asserts the `gitea_grants` row is gone
+first. T8 a chief grant on another project ends the fallback. T9 T7's three cases with the slot at 0000.
+T10 a missing `library-human` refuses `library-human-missing` and runs no git. T11 a token search of
+argv, the mirror config, the run log and the test output. Mutant: a `+` added to the push refspec fails.
+
+## Gate
+
+Dewey approves the manifest. The library and bus suites, plus every `scripts/test-*.sh`, pass on Sage's
+gate. The mutant dies. A token search of the run's output finds nothing.
+
+## Early look (dewey-0860), folded
+
+Q1, askpass: sh, with no gap between the check and the read. The helper keeps `test -f` and then:
+- opens the slot with `exec 3<"$slot"`;
+- stats the open file with `stat -L -c '%d:%i %u %a %s %F' /dev/fd/3`, and the path itself (an lstat)
+  with `stat -c '%d:%i' -- "$slot"`;
+- refuses unless the two dev:inode values match, the type is regular, the uid is `id -u`, the mode is
+  600 and the size is at most 16384;
+- reads the token from fd 3.
+A symlink or a swap at either moment changes the inode, and the token comes from the file that was
+checked. This matches `readSecretFile` (`gitea-grant.mjs:167-181`).
+Residual, the same on both paths: a FIFO swapped in after `test -f` blocks the open. Neither side uses
+O_NONBLOCK.
+Swap test T5b: the direct helper test puts a `stat` shim on its own PATH. On its first call the shim
+renames another file over the slot, then runs the real stat. The helper must exit 1 and print nothing.
+Mutant M2 drops the inode compare and must fail T5b.
+
+Q2, the chief: found through `roles` by definition, not through `launch.instances`. A fire only delists
+the name (`packages/business/src/instance-settings.mjs:355`), and `roles[name]` stays. Only a delete
+removes it (`deletedDocument`, :70).
+- Gitea grant evidence for any `roles` entry whose definition is `chief-of-staff` ends the fallback.
+  That includes a fired chief beside a new listed one.
+- A live credential comes only from the listed chief's live, unheld `gitea_grants` row.
+- With no `roles` entry of that definition (deleted, or never a chief), any gitea grant event in the
+  business refuses `library-fetch-no-grant`.
+  - Cost, for Sage: row 236 lets seat gitea grants exist before C2-21. So a business with no chief
+    entry and one seat grant loses the slot fallback. That fails safe, but it narrows "an install that
+    runs before C2-21 still syncs".
+- T7's fired case also asserts that `roles[chief]` still exists after `instance.fire`.
+
+N1: the `credential` key is optional in `mirror.mjs`'s exact `keys(...)` check (:221), so a pre-286
+state file still reads. The old fixtures have no `credential`: `library-sync.test.mjs:18`,
+`library.test.mjs:106` and `mirror.test.mjs:13`. New test T12 reads a pre-286 state file. Row 224
+(Della, 23816cf28) also changes `packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs`. Whichever lands second rebases and reruns
+bus whole.
+
+N2: `[remote rejected]`, a hook refusal, is `library-push-failed`, not a race. Only `[rejected]` with
+`(fetch first)` or `(non-fast-forward)` counts as a race. The evidence query depends on
+`body.method` and `body.agent`. gitea `grant.applied` carries both at `broker.mjs:2479` and
+`grant.revoked` at :1862 and :2797. The spend event (`operation: 'grant.gitea'`, :1093) carries
+neither, so it doesn't match.
+
+N3: `fetchCredential` reads the store, so it is the bus's choice function, not a pure one.
+
+## Rulings sage-2928
+
+- Q1: Dewey's fix, in sh. On dragon-lin `/bin/sh` is bash, and GNU coreutils stat 9.11 gives
+  `stat -L -c '%d:%i %u %a %s %F' /dev/fd/3` on an open fd. Checked at 18:47Z with a scratch file, not
+  the repo. The helper runs as git's child in the bus process, not under bwrap. T5b stages the swap with
+  the PATH stat shim. If a run shows the swap can't be staged reliably, BUILD.md names M2, which drops the
+  fd compare, and it gets killed.
+- Q2: chief by `roles[*].definition === 'chief-of-staff'`. The blanket refusal applies only with no such
+  entry. Departure from the brief's "an install that runs before C2-21 still syncs", accepted in
+  sage-2928: it refuses rather than widens, and every install enrolls the chief at initial configuration
+  (F40, Q226). The refusal's message names the fix: "add the chief of staff, or grant the library
+  through C2-21".
+- N1: as above.
+
+## Build notes (code written; nothing run yet; dewey-0864 folded)
+
+Files changed:
+- `packages/library/src/sync.mjs`: `syncCommand` takes `push` with a full-sha `commit`; `push()`;
+  `humanCredential()`; `sync()` takes `credential`; `HUMAN_SLOT`, `CREDENTIAL_KINDS`. The `slot` opt
+  and `MOSAIC_LIBRARY_SLOT` keep their names and now name whichever file answers.
+- `packages/library/src/index.mjs`: the new exports.
+- `packages/library/bin/askpass`: Dewey's fd 3 check.
+- `packages/library/src/mirror.mjs`: optional `credential` in the state key check. Nothing renamed.
+- `packages/bus/src/broker.mjs`: `LIBRARY_FETCH_FIX` and `libraryFetchCredential(business)`.
+- `packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs`: `syncOptions` passes the broker's choice to the verb and the timer.
+  The timer's held line adds `fix` for `library-fetch-no-grant`.
+- `packages/library/README.md`: "Push and credentials (C2-03b)".
+- Tests: `packages/library/tests/sync.test.mjs` (appended), `packages/bus/tests/library-credential.test.mjs` (new).
+
+Choices made without a ruling. Each is small and reversible:
+- `humanCredential(context, { user, configDir })`: sage-2925 named `{user}`. The slot path needs the
+  config dir, and the library package doesn't know it, so the caller passes it. That's the same
+  source runtime's `slotDir` uses.
+- `BusError` carries only a code, so the sage-2928 fix text can't ride on the verb's refusal. It
+  goes in the timer's log line (`fix`) and in the README. The verb answers `library-fetch-no-grant`.
+- T7 and T9 run the real verbs (dewey-0864, ruled by sage-2947: no SQL staging; replaces the
+  staged state in cefebf65b). Until row 285 lands, the test passes its own definitions; once it lands
+  the real chief definition carries gitea. Whichever of 285 and 286 lands second rebases and reruns
+  library and bus whole (sage-2947). The chief's grant goes through decision.raise and the human's yes against fake-gitea-api.mjs. The test's own
+  definitions give chief-of-staff a gitea credential, as gitea-grant.test.mjs gives coder one. The
+  real roles/chief-of-staff.json has `credentials: []`, so a live chief can't get one before C2-21.
+  - Revoked: `grants.revoke`, then the row is gone and the fetch refuses.
+  - Fired: `instance.fire` can't fire the launch.by chief. Only the launch.by role calls it, and it
+    refuses its own name (`organization-instance-referenced`, broker.mjs `#chiefLifecycle`). So the
+    test's launch.by is `boss` (definition pm, the chief's authority), and boss fires the one listed
+    chief-of-staff instance. Step G deletes the row (row 281), `roles.chief` stays, the fetch refuses.
+    Only launch.by may call instance.fire (`role-not-chief`, broker.mjs:4308 at 94c33a43c) and it
+    refuses its own name (:4335), so this is the only fired chief the verb allows. Accepted by
+    sage-2951 as brief owner and read the same way in dewey-0869.
+  - T9's revoked case runs `grants.revoke` on the runtime's own data root and store, between starts.
+    T9's runtime gets a scratch roles/ whose chief-of-staff carries `{service: gitea}`, as row 285
+    ships it (case2-rows.md:1823-1824), so its definitions match the grant's (dewey-0869). After a
+    rebase onto 285 the copy needs no edit.
+  - Delisted with the row still there, a `fire.stopped` with no `fire.done`, held, two chiefs and
+    another project stay unit checks on the choice function with SQL fixtures.
+- "Another uid" in T5: the suite can't chown, so a PATH `stat` shim reports uid+1 for the open file.
+  The real `id -u` compare is covered only through that shim (dewey-0864).
+- Two listed chiefs, or none listed, refuse `library-fetch-no-grant` (T8).
+- The race fetch inside `push()` takes sync's `running` guard (dewey-0864 R1, in this row per
+  sage-2947). While a sync of the mirror runs it refuses `library-sync-busy`, fetches nothing, and
+  the caller writes again. Test: "race fetch: while a sync of the mirror runs". Its sync fetch is a
+  git alias that touches a marker, then waits for a release file. The push starts after the marker
+  exists and the release comes after the refusal, so nothing depends on timing (dewey-0869).
+- The slot at 0000: T9 covers the revoked case at runtime. Fired and held refuse inside the choice
+  function, which takes no path and opens no file. `sync` with any `{ refused }` runs no git (library
+  test, valid slot present).
+- First-run reds in the new tests are mine to fix in setup and report afterwards (mos-1272).
+- The chief's evidence is any gitea grant event naming the chief, of any action (grant.applied,
+  grant.revoked and the rest), per the plan. The spend event names no agent, so it doesn't count.
+
+Test map:
+- library sync.test.mjs: argv (push), T1, T2+T3, T4 (dead remote, hook, wrong token), refused or
+  unsafe credential runs no git, T10, fetch credential and state with N1/T12, T5+T5b.
+- library sync.test.mjs also: race fetch busy (R1).
+- bus library-credential.test.mjs: T6, T7 (real revoke and fire), T7 choice checks, T8, departure,
+  T9 runtime (real grant, chief file and user via timer and verb; real revoke, slot 0000: no git,
+  log `fix`, state `credential: null`).
+- webby-0151 R3: T9 reads `library.status` for `credential` and `lastError`.
+- T11 token search: T1 scans the data root and every file but the seat's; T9 scans the log lines.
+  The gate's output search uses the fixture tokens `fixture-token-*-made-up-00{42..49}`.
+
+Mutants (each must die on a semantic assertion):
+- M1: `+` before the push refspec in `syncCommand`. Expected to fail: the argv test, and T2 (the
+  forced push lands, so `raced` is never reported and her commit is gone).
+- M2: drop `test "$1" = "$path"` from askpass. Expected to fail: T5b (the helper prints the checked
+  file's token).
+
+## r2 rebase (sage-3579)
+
+Sage ruled that 286 now goes before 258, because 222 is its only after row. Branch ludwig/row286-r2
+rebases b9506b352 (base 94c33a43c) onto origin/refactor 45dca69f6. The rebase had no conflicts.
+
+- Range-diff 94c33a43c..b9506b352 against 45dca69f6..r2: all 11 commits are `=`, so no patch
+  changed.
+- Rows 254 (331597709) and 268 (c27207f6e) were already in the old base 94c33a43c. Between the two
+  bases nothing changed under packages/library.
+- Paths the two test files import or read, diffed 94c33a43c..45dca69f6: bus broker.mjs, runtime.mjs
+  and store.mjs changed. None of the others changed: library/*, bus credentials, gitea-grant,
+  mapping, mirror, reader, survey, sync, the fake-gitea-api, helpers and host-fixtures modules,
+  business helpers (rolesCopy, systemFor), project git, seat checkout and fake-gitea, and roles/.
+  - broker.mjs: the constructor gains `accessStamp` and `compactions`, both defaulting to null, and
+    my tests pass neither. No base hunk falls in the fire job, the revoke job or the instance.fire
+    verb. Old :4308/:4335 are now :4852/:4879, with the same text. The new console-cap check refuses
+    a non-console session only on CONSOLE_VERBS, and the library verbs are not among them. The
+    request path's access re-read applies only to `s.user` sessions, and my tests open none.
+  - runtime.mjs: consoleOwners (default []), the access timer, compactions and the session-clear
+    hooks. The Credentials and giteaStart wiring that T9 uses is unchanged.
+  - store.mjs: schema 3l to 3n (row 206 thread_shares, row 271 session_ops and message_cancels).
+    Each test opens a fresh Store, and none pins a schema version or step count.
+- Hash pins: no test or script line pairs a 64-hex value with a path I change. The positive
+  control finds 64-hex pins in, for example, account-migration.test.mjs.
+- Row 285 has not landed. roles/chief-of-staff.json at 45dca69f6 still names no gitea credential,
+  so T9 keeps its scratch roles copy (sage-2947).
+- sage-3589 freezes stack-release.sh, webui-service.sh, bus-service.sh, stack-copy.sh and common.sh.
+  This row changes none of them.
+- Still to run, on CLEAR: library and bus whole, every scripts/test-*.sh, M1 and M2, and the token
+  search, all on r2.

+## Choices where the design table is silent or differs
+
+These are departures or gaps. Each is built as stated, so Sage can rule before Phase B. A ruling that changes one of them is a small edit.
+
+1. **Paging arguments (gap a).** The table has no offset. `find` and `search` take an optional `offset` (a position in the filtered list, default 0). A reply carries `next`: the position of the next item, or `null`.
+2. **`library_get` has no universe (gap b).** Built with a required `universe`. Without it the reply could not be isolated. A missing file and a file the universe cannot see both return `null`, so a caller cannot tell them apart. `get` also takes an optional `from` line.
+3. **`get` over the cap (gap c).** Lines page by `from` with `next`. `links_out` and `links_in` come back whole on every page. If the frontmatter and links alone exceed the cap, the call is refused with `query-item-too-large`. A hub note with many backlinks may be refused. This needs a ruling: link paging, or accept the refusal.
+4. **`manuscript` without a chapter (gap d).** Refused with `query-chapter-required`. The design names no list form. A chapter name that matches two visible files is refused with `query-chapter-ambiguous`.
+5. **`search` excerpt (gap e).** The excerpt is the whole line, not a truncation. A line that alone exceeds the cap is refused. Truncating it would cut an item.
+6. **`exclude` form (gap f).** `checkMapping` accepts only a folder path for `exclude` (`folder()`), so an exclusion is a path prefix. There is no type or source form to build. Confirm.
+7. **Pin constraints.** `pin` does not hide any file. It is reported by `universeInfo` only. Confirm.
+8. **Playground through `get`.** `scope` applies to lists. `get` by an explicit path returns a playground file of the caller's own universe. Confirm.
+9. **Links.** A link into a file the universe cannot see is dropped from `links_out` and `links_in`, in line with N1. Links from a visible file that point into another universe are kept in the index (the reader keeps them under R6), and the query layer drops them for universes that cannot see them.
+10. **`find` matching.** Case-insensitive substring over the front matter `name` and the file name. An empty `query` matches every file in scope.
+11. **Cache key.** `repo`, `commit` and a sha256 of the canonical mapping. Keying by commit alone would return the wrong scopes after a mapping change. The cache holds eight entries, least recently used out. Failed reads are not kept.
+12. **`universeInfo`.** Reads only the checked mapping and the served commit. It builds no index.
+13. **Reply commit.** Every reply carries the index commit, which is the served commit passed in.
+

+The brief says new refusal codes need Sage's approval first. These are provisional and must not be treated as settled:
+
+- `query-argument-invalid`
+- `query-universe-unknown`
+- `query-chapter-required`
+- `query-chapter-ambiguous`
+- `query-item-too-large`
+
+Reused, existing codes: `library-mapping-invalid`, plus the reader's `library-git`, `library-commit` through `indexFor`.
+
+## Grep results (grep only, not a test run)
+
+- Test references to the changed paths: `packages/library/tests/*.mjs` import `../src/index.mjs` and `../src/mapping.mjs`. `packages/bus/tests/library.test.mjs` and `library-sync.test.mjs` import the library index as a namespace. Neither enumerates its exports, so the two new export lines break no assertion.
+- `packages/cli/tests/stack-copy.test.mjs:52` checks that `packages/library/src/index.mjs` exists, and it still does.
+- 64-hex pins: none in `packages/library/tests`, none on `index.mjs`, `query.mjs` or `index-build.mjs`.
+- `scripts/test-*.sh`: no reference to the new modules.
+
+## Flag for Sage
+
+- `packages/library/tests/helpers.mjs` `repo()` builds its fixtures under `tmpdir()`, which is `/tmp`. The launcher rules forbid that. The new tests do not use it; they use `tests/query-fixture.mjs`, which builds under `/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp`. The existing helper should be fixed in a separate row, not here.
+
+## Phase B commands (not run)
+
+Run only after Sage sends "slot clear". Set the scratch TMPDIR first, per the launcher rule.
+
+```
+cd /mnt/storage/src/mosaic-stack/.claude/worktrees/agent-aa3cc98787bc5152c/packages/library
+export TMPDIR=/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp
+node --test tests/query.test.mjs tests/index-build.test.mjs
+node --test tests/*.test.mjs
+```
+
+Also run `packages/bus/tests/library.test.mjs` and `library-sync.test.mjs`, since they import the index.
+
+## Status
+
+Not yet verified. Nothing has been tested and nothing is committed. The working tree holds the Phase A changes. AGENTS.md invariant 8 allows a commit only after the applicable suites are green, so the commit waits for Phase B. The dispatch asked for a local commit in Phase A; Sage to confirm that the commit waits for Phase B.
+
+## Round 2 (2026-10-22, sage-2708, sage-2716): rulings applied, rebased onto aca16404c
+
+Added after the text above; nothing above is edited. "Nothing is committed", "Provisional refusal codes",
+`query-chapter-required` and the tmpdir flag above were true when written and are superseded here.
+
+- Branch `researcher/row216-r2`, one local commit on origin/refactor `aca16404c`. Row 268 (C2-01c) is in
+  that base. Row 253 has not landed; the work rebases onto 253's tip before any gate. Not pushed, not run.
+- Rulings: `agents/sage/work/queue-216/RULINGS.md` at da9555ca2, rulings 1-13 and the tmpdir flag.
+- Drift check, d37210288..aca16404c against my paths: the library files that changed are `mapping.mjs`,
+  `scope.mjs`, `README.md` and the mapping and scope tests. None is a file I add or edit. `query.mjs` reads
+  the checked mapping through them, so the whole library package runs in phase B.
+
+### What changed from phase A
+
+| Ruling | Change in `query.mjs` | Test |
+|---|---|---|
+| 3 `get` over the cap | `links_out` and `links_in` page together with `links_from`; every reply carries `links_next`, `next` and the front matter. A page with lines left carries at least one line. Links take at most half the cap while lines remain. `query-item-too-large` is left for front matter alone or one line alone (or one link alone) | hub note with 900 backlinks pages and adds up; front matter alone and a line alone refused; bad `links_from` |
+| 4 `manuscript` no chapter | `chapter` optional: the first visible chapter in path order. Every reply carries `next_chapter`. `query-chapter-required` removed. Ambiguity still refuses | first chapter and `next_chapter`; ambiguous name refused |
+| 5 `search` long line | hit comes back `{path, line, excerpt: null, excerpt_too_long: true, scope}`, other hits still return | marked hit and unmarked hits in one reply |
+| 6 `exclude` | path-prefix reading only. The test names `EXCLUSION` and `EXCLUDED_PATHS` in `query-fixture.mjs`, so C2-15 (row 267) swaps two constants | exclusion hides from the hybrid and not from the source |
+| 8 hybrid `get` | unchanged code; test added | hybrid gets a source's playground file as `null`; the source gets it with `scope: "playground"` |
+| PRD 1.14 (row 268) | `universeInfo` reports `kind` from the mapping (`draft` included) | four tests below |
+
+PRD 1.14 tests, one each: a lookup naming a `book` leaves `book: null` files out (find and search);
+`library_manuscript` never reads a `book: null` file; a draft universe has no canon, so its lookups return
+files only with `scope: "playground"`; `library_universe` on a draft returns kind, name and prefixes.
+The levels fixture is `WITH_LEVELS` in `query.test.mjs`: harbor gets `Notes/Harbor/` as a universe-level
+playground prefix, and `idea` is a draft over `Drafts/New World/`.
+
+`query-fixture.mjs` builds under `tmpdir()`, as `helpers.mjs` does (ruling "tmpdir flag"). The earlier
+flag about `helpers.mjs` building under `/tmp` is closed by that ruling: the gate sets `TMPDIR`.
+
+Refusal codes now: `query-argument-invalid`, `query-universe-unknown`, `query-chapter-ambiguous`,
+`query-item-too-large`. All four approved in the rulings.
+
+### Grep results (grep only, not a test run)
+
+- `git grep` over `packages/*/tests/*` and `scripts/*` for `query.mjs` and `index-build`: no hit outside
+  `packages/library/tests/query*.test.mjs` and `index-build.test.mjs`.
+- 64-hex pins naming a library path: none. Positive control: the same pathspec finds the sha256 lines in
+  `packages/cli/tests/case1-hostcheck.test.mjs` and the `packages/library/src/index.mjs` existence check at
+  `packages/cli/tests/stack-copy.test.mjs:52`.
+- Tests that read `packages/library/src` as a directory: `packages/cli/tests/stack-release-fixture.mjs:309`
+  copies `packages/library/src` whole into a release fixture. It carries no file list, so two new files break
+  no assertion. `stack-release.test.mjs` is not in the gate unless Sage wants it.
+- Tests that import the library index as a namespace: `packages/bus/tests/library.test.mjs` and
+  `library-sync.test.mjs`. Neither enumerates exports, so the two export lines add no break. Both run
+  whole in phase B.
+
+### Run limits (fixed before any run)
+
+Every node file runs as its own `setsid -w timeout -k 10 LIMIT node --test FILE`; nothing runs unbounded.
+
+- Node test files: LIMIT 900 s. The library test files have no recorded time. 900 s is above the longest
+  recorded whole-package run I know of (cli, 591 s, row 281 BUILD.md "Runs" step 3), so it holds the 3x rule
+  for any single file. The first run records each file's time, and a file past 300 s gets a limit re-derived
+  from it before the next run. `query.test.mjs` builds a 900-file repo and a 3,000-file index rebuild is in
+  `index-build.test.mjs`; both are the files most likely to need it.
+- No shell script is in this row's gate, so no script limit applies.
+
+Any timeout goes to Sage, then Mos, unplaced (mos-1275).
+
+### Phase B (not run; Sage's CLEAR first, then a rebase onto 253's tip)
+
+```
+export TMPDIR=/mnt/storage/scratch/tmp
+cd <worktree>/packages/library
+for f in tests/*.test.mjs; do setsid -w timeout -k 10 900 node --test "$f"; done
+cd ../bus
+for f in tests/library.test.mjs tests/library-sync.test.mjs; do setsid -w timeout -k 10 900 node --test "$f"; done
+cd ../cli
+setsid -w timeout -k 10 900 node --test tests/stack-copy.test.mjs
+```
+
+Mutants I propose (my list, not read off the brief; each is meant to be killed by the named test, and none
+has been thrown; the kill claims are unverified until CLEAR):
+
+- M-a: `sees()` returns true for a file of another universe: killed by "find is bound to its universe".
+- M-b: the playground filter dropped: killed by "playground appears only when asked for".
+- M-c: the hybrid reads a source's playground: killed by "a hybrid gets a source playground file as null".
+- M-d: `links_next` always null: killed by the hub paging test.
+- M-e: the book filter lets `book: null` through: killed by the PRD 1.14 book test.
+
+### Status
+
+Built, not run. `node --check` has not been run on this round's files (no node before the CLEAR); the
+phase A pass above covered the earlier text only. The commit is local and waits for no gate under Sage's
+sage-2716 instruction, which allows git and docs work only; push and claim wait for Sage's go.

+# Row 285 build notes: C2-08b creative and chief role changes
+
+Seat: Scrooge. Reviewer: Webby. Gate owner: Sage. Issue #1790 (mos-1309 item 5).
+Brief: `docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md` at 94c33a43c, row 285 section, gate under "### Gate".
+Base: 94c33a43c on branch `scrooge/row285`.
+
+## Status
+
+- The code, tests, fixtures and docs are written locally. No test has run. Sage's order puts row 252 first at the next CLEAR, and nothing runs during another seat's slot.
+- The Results section is empty until that run. Nothing below claims a pass.
+- Mos ruled the mos-1272 points in mos-1332 (18:55Z). mos-1333 (19:04Z) withdrew item 3, the business.mjs publish fence. See "Old tests" below.
+
+## What changes
+
+- The six creative roles (companion, ideas, research, proofreader, fact-checker, continuity):
+  - withinRole is `["message.send", "library.write"]`.
+  - credentials is `[{"service": "gitea", "scopes": ["read:user", "write:repository"]}]`.
+  - Each contract's Authority and Protocol lines describe the two library write tools, which are limited to `.md` files in supporting folders the user marked. The agent never holds a token.
+- The chief of staff:
+  - credentials is `[{"service": "gitea", "scopes": ["read:repository", "read:user"]}]`, with no library.write.
+  - The contract says the broker holds that token and it can't publish or push.
+- `vocabulary.mjs` drops CREATIVE_KINDS and adds CREATIVE_ACTIONS (`message.send`, `library.write`) and CREATIVE_SERVICE (`gitea`).
+- `role.mjs` checkCreative refuses a creative role that holds any withinRole action outside CREATIVE_ACTIONS, any crossRole action, or any credential service other than gitea.
+- `broker.mjs` #giteaRole (:2138) also refuses the chief of staff with `gitea-not-declared` (sage-2921).
+- business.mjs does not change (mos-1333 item 1). The fence added in 5f81d0da0 is removed in a later commit, so the branch's business.mjs equals the base.
+
+## Rulings
+
+- **webby-0164:** PRD 1.15 rewrites REQ-LIB-6 so creative agents write `.md` files in supporting folders. The REQ-WAIT-3 routing line is the missing piece.
+- **mos-1328:**
+  - library.write routing goes in PRD 1.16, which needs Jason's explicit yes (REQ-WAIT-2).
+  - library.write stays out of ROUTED until 1.16 lands.
+  - If Jason changes the bounds, row 285 gets a new brief.
+- **sage-2915:**
+  - The scopes a role declares must equal what any token minted for that role holds, at the commit where 285 lands.
+  - The creative scopes `["read:user","write:repository"]` are approved.
+  - The ROUTED edit gets its own commit, citing the paragraph.
+- **sage-2921:**
+  - Refuse the chief in #giteaRole, with a gitea-grant.test case next to X-G1. broker.mjs (#giteaRole only) and gitea-grant.test join the manifest.
+  - Grep the tests for the gitea-not-declared text and for pins on broker.mjs before in-review.
+  - The ROUTED commit cites 1.16 (row #1796).
+- **mos-1330:**
+  - Item 1: the fixture change gets its own commit. Only fixture data changes, and named tests cover a missing gitea ref.
+  - Item 2: option A is approved. The live chief gets one gitea ref. Every repo business writer gets the ref.
+- **sage-2937:** if Mos rules (b), business.mjs joins the files owned, scoped to the refusal near :166 and clear of :283-291 (row 287, Megavolt).
+- **webby-0174:** each changed expected value carries Mos's ruling key. The load fence needs a design line, its own test, a mutant and a grep of the tests for the N10 text.
+- **mos-1332:** the mos-1272 rulings, items 1-5, cited under "Old tests". The ROUTED commit and the landing still wait on Jason's yes on PRD 1.16 (Q32, Vikunja 546). The build, the gate and Webby's review go ahead.
+- **mos-1333:** withdraws mos-1332 item 3, since the fence contradicted the brief (:1825, :1829, :1839, and row 287's chief publish ["books"] at :1998). Items 1, 2, 4 and 5 stand.
+  - The fence leaves business.mjs in a new commit, no force-push. business.mjs leaves the manifest and its fence mutants are dropped.
+  - business.test "row 285: a creative instance with identity and publish loads" is back in its 8c529fb4d form.
+  - N10 takes option (a). See "Old tests" item 3.
+  - A new named test: a chief with its gitea ref, identity and publish ["stack"] loads.
+  - Row 287 has nothing to reshape. Its binding note below still applies.
+- **sage-2946:** the bus suite runs whole (broker.mjs is in the manifest and bus tests read roles/chief-of-staff.json), plus the cli example readers. Item 2 is answered below under "Scopes field required".
+
+## Scopes rule evidence (sage-2915 q2)
+
+At 94c33a43c, exactly one path mints a seat token. That is the Gitea grant, `broker.mjs:2420`, where `api.tokenCreate(user, tokenName)` takes the default scopes. The default is SEAT_SCOPES `['read:user', 'write:repository']` (`gitea-grant.mjs:29`, `:263`).
+
+The only other tokenCreate caller is the admin rotate (`gitea-grant.mjs:331`), which uses ADMIN_SCOPES.
+
+The creative declaration therefore equals SEAT_SCOPES. The chief's read declaration would be narrower than a minted token. #giteaRole refuses the chief, so no grant path mints the chief a token at the landing commit.
+
+### Scopes field required (sage-2946 item 2, Megavolt's question)
+
+role.mjs refuses a gitea credential entry with no scopes. `{"service": "gitea"}` goes through checkGiteaScopes (role.mjs:100-111), which calls `requireDistinctList(scopes, "gitea scopes", ..., {nonEmpty: true})`. util.mjs:42 refuses a non-array with "gitea scopes must be an array". Only a `host` entry may omit scopes (role.mjs:134). So every gitea entry names its scopes, and for a minted token they must equal SEAT_SCOPES (sage-2915).
+
+### Binding note for row 287 (C2-21)
+
+- The library read grant row must mint the chief's declared scopes (`read:repository`, `read:user`) and not SEAT_SCOPES.
+- It needs a test showing the chief's token lacks `write:repository`.
+- If it reuses #giteaRole, it has to lift the chief refusal and pass the declared scopes in the same change.
+
+## Live step (mos-1330 item 2, option A)
+
+The live dragon-lin chief holds no credentials, and there are no creative instances. After row 285 lands, the chief entry in the live business file needs one gitea reference, or the file refuses at load with "must reference exactly the services its role definition needs (gitea; got none)".
+
+Exact JSON, added to the chief instance (store form, the form the human's `instances.set` add writes):
+
+```json
+"credentials": { "gitea": { "store": true, "rotateBy": "YYYY-MM-DD" } }
+```
+
+The file form also works: `{ "gitea": { "file": "<configDir>/secrets/<business>/chief-of-staff-gitea.token", "rotateBy": "YYYY-MM-DD" } }`. That file must exist, mode 0600.
+
+- The reference creates no account, mints no token and grants nothing by itself.
+- The window owner adds it after a backup of the business file, and before P3.
+- **Precondition for the store form:** the store root `<configDir>/secrets/agents` must exist and be private, since `bus/src/credentials.mjs:212` calls privateDir on it when the reference is read.
+
+## Repo business writers (mos-1330 item 2)
+
+A git grep of scripts, templates, src, tools and packages outside tests found two repo files that write a business file with a chief. Both get the gitea file reference:
+
+- `packages/business/examples/mosaic-stack.example.json:114`, the chief entry. Two test files read it (corrected after webby-0178 B2):
+  - `packages/business/tests/business.test.mjs:256`, "the shipped example refuses as written and validates once filled in". It replaces `/home/you` with its tmp root and checks the role list and the sync token path. The chief's new file ref goes through the same replacement.
+  - `packages/cli/tests/stack-release-fixture.mjs:351` (EXAMPLE, through `biz()`). It fills botId and the dates but keeps the `/home/you` token paths, as it already does for the other roles' refs. Its readers are stack-release.test, stack-release-external.test and stack-upgrade.test.
+  - All four test files run whole at the gate.
+- `packages/business/README.md:174`, the chief example line, plus the prose at :163 and :183 that said the chief holds no credentials.
+
+No script, template or case installer writes a chief or creative instance. `scripts/case1-accept.sh` only talks to `chief`.
+
+## Fixture changes (mos-1330 item 1, own commit)
+
+Data only, with one named exception listed under "Old tests".
+
+- `packages/business/tests/helpers.mjs:71-74`
+  - Old: `// The chief of staff launches (REQ-LAUNCH-1, decision 139); it holds no` / `// credential and no tracker bot.` / `chief: { definition: "chief-of-staff" },`
+  - New: `// The chief of staff launches (REQ-LAUNCH-1, decision 139); it has no` / `// tracker bot. Its one credential reference is gitea, for the library` / `// read grant (row 285, mos-1330).` / `chief: { definition: "chief-of-staff", credentials: { gitea: ref("chief-of-staff", "gitea") } },`
+- Creative and chief instances loaded through the loader each gain `credentials: { gitea: { store: true, rotateBy: FAR_DATE } }`, and the import adds FAR_DATE where needed:
+  - `packages/business/tests/instance-settings.test.mjs:334`, `:335`, `:380` (import :12)
+  - `packages/business/tests/lifecycle-settings.test.mjs:237` (import :11)
+  - `packages/business/tests/launch-settings.test.mjs:184`, bean (FAR_DATE already imported)
+  - `packages/business/tests/resolve.test.mjs:117`, chief2 (import :7)
+  - `packages/bus/tests/creative.test.mjs:98`, bean in the written business file (import :10). The `startBroker` businesses object at :111 doesn't go through the loader and is unchanged.
+  - `packages/cli/tests/launcher.test.mjs:769`, bean (import :1)
+- `packages/business/tests/business.test.mjs`: the persona test's bean fixtures get `credentials: CREATIVE_GITEA` (4 places).
+
+New named tests (mos-1330 item 1):
+
+- business.test "row 285: a chief or creative instance without credentials.gitea refuses at load". Each case refuses with the checkCredentialMap "(gitea; got none)" message, and a positive control loads.
+- business.test "row 285: a creative instance with identity and publish loads" (brief :1825, :1839, restored by mos-1333 item 2). The grant still refuses it at raise (#giteaRole).
+- agent-identity.test "row 285: a chief with its gitea reference, identity and publish loads" (mos-1333 item 4, brief :1829). It also checks the chief's credentials are exactly gitea.
+
+## Old tests (mos-1272, ruled in mos-1332 and mos-1333)
+
+Webby (webby-0174) passes each item only with Mos's ruling key next to it.
+
+1. **`packages/business/tests/chief-of-staff.test.mjs`** (mos-1332 item 1, accepted as pushed). Expected values follow the role file:
+   - APPROVED.credentials (:24). Old: `[]`. New: `[{service: "gitea", scopes: ["read:repository", "read:user"]}]`.
+   - The resolved-record test (:90). Old: `{}`. New: `{gitea: {service: "gitea", file: <root>/secrets/chief-of-staff-gitea.token, rotateBy: FAR_DATE}}`.
+   - :155. Old name: "the instance takes no credential references and no tracker", expecting "(none; got gitea)". New name: "the instance takes only the gitea credential reference and no tracker", adding a vikunja ref and expecting "(gitea; got gitea, vikunja)". The tracker refusal is unchanged.
+2. **`packages/business/tests/role.test.mjs`** (mos-1332 item 2, accepted). checkCreative checks the service and not the scopes (webby-0178 N1). The scopes are pinned by the load test, which deepEquals each of the six creative role files' credentials to `[{service: "gitea", scopes: ["read:user", "write:repository"]}]`, so a widened scope in any one file is red.
+   - The six-creative-roles load test now pins withinRole `[message.send, library.write]` and credentials `[{gitea, [read:user, write:repository]}]` exactly. Old: `[message.send]` and `[]`.
+   - The M1 block checked record.write and one crossRole case. It now loops over every routed action outside CREATIVE_ACTIONS, keeps the crossRole refusal, and adds the vikunja and host credential refusals. The refusal text changes from "may hold only withinRole message.send" to "may hold only withinRole message.send and library.write".
+3. **`packages/business/tests/agent-identity.test.mjs:49-50` (N10)** (mos-1333 item 3, option (a); replaces mos-1332 item 3). After 285 the chief's definition declares gitea, so the old second case no longer refuses. Only the fixture instance and the instance name in the regex change. The text after the name is unchanged.
+   - Old: `refuses(() => check((d) => { d.roles.chief.identity = structuredClone(IDENTITY); d.roles.chief.publish = ["stack"]; }),` / `/roles\.chief\.publish needs identity and a gitea definition/);`
+   - New: `refuses(() => check((d) => { d.roles.helper = { definition: "assistant", holder: "mos", identity: structuredClone(IDENTITY), publish: ["stack"] }; }),` / `/roles\.helper\.publish needs identity and a gitea definition/);`
+   - The standalone helper test added in 5f81d0da0 is removed. The fence and its business.test change are reverted.
+   - Grep of `packages/*/tests/*` for "needs identity and a gitea definition": only agent-identity.test :47, :48 and :52. No other reader.
+   - Mutant M9 below.
+4. **`packages/business/tests/instance-settings.test.mjs:289`** (mos-1332 item 4, accepted). Old: `{ services: [], accepted: true }`. New: `{ services: ["gitea"], accepted: true }`. If the :298 listing changes at the run, the exact new value goes here and Webby hears about it. Anything that removes or weakens a check goes back to Mos.
+5. **Other fixture edits** (mos-1332 item 5): data only, no ruling needed.
+
+## Commit plan
+
+1. Role files, contracts, vocabulary, role.mjs, broker #giteaRole, gitea-grant.test and role.test, plus this file.
+2a. The mos-1332 commit (5f81d0da0): instance-settings.test:289 and this file. Its business.mjs fence and two fence tests are reverted by the mos-1333 commit.
+2b. The webby-0178 commit (d79cfe674): B1, B2 and notes.
+2c. The mos-1333 commit: the fence removed, business.test restored, N10 option (a), the named chief test and this file.
+2. The fixture commit (mos-1330): helpers.mjs, chief-of-staff.test, business.test (fixture refs and the two new named tests), the loader fixtures above, the example json and README. Mos ruled the old-test points in mos-1332.
+3. The 1.16 commit: `library.write` in ACTIONS and ROUTED in both `business/src/vocabulary.mjs` and `bus/src/broker.mjs`, citing the PRD 1.16 paragraph (row #1796), with a hard-waits test that it is routed. It's held until Jason's yes and 1.16 lands.
+
+Until commit 3, every creative role file refuses at load (REQ-WAIT-2: a GATED_ONLY action in a role file). The branch is green only with all three commits.
+
+## Mutant plan
+
+Kill rules are written before the runs. Each mutant is one edit, then a restore, a sha256 compare and a clean `git status`.
+
+| M | Mutant | Source | Expected kill |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| M1 | drop `role.definition === STAFF_TO` from #giteaRole | broker.mjs:2138 | gitea-grant.test "X-G1: the chief of staff refuses at raise" |
+| M2 | CREATIVE_ACTIONS gains `role.end` | vocabulary.mjs | role.test M1 routed-action loop |
+| M3 | drop the creative services check | role.mjs checkCreative | role.test M1 vikunja and host refusals |
+| M4 | drop the crossRole check | role.mjs checkCreative | role.test M1 crossRole refusals |
+| M5 | creative role file without library.write | roles/companion.json | role.test creative-load test |
+| M6 | chief scopes widened with write:repository | roles/chief-of-staff.json | chief-of-staff.test "the shipped file is exactly the approved list" |
+| M9 | drop `\|\| !services.includes("gitea")` from the N10 check | business.mjs:166 | agent-identity.test N10's helper case :51-52 (mos-1333 item 5) |
+
+M7 and M8 targeted the withdrawn fence and are dropped (mos-1333 item 1). M9 mutates a file outside the manifest only to show the N10 test still guards it.

+## Gate checks before in-review
+
+- `git grep CREATIVE_KINDS -- packages roles scripts` is empty. Checked locally.
+- Grep the tests for `gitea-not-declared`, and for 64-hex pins on broker.mjs and each changed role file.
+- Run business.test, stack-release.test, stack-release-external.test and stack-upgrade.test whole, since they read the example json (webby-0178 B2).
+- Run the bus suite whole (sage-2946 item 1): broker.mjs is in the manifest, and these bus tests read roles/chief-of-staff.json by name: chief-of-staff, fire-revokes-grants, host-run, instances-verb, names, reload, routes-verb. Sage listed five. A git grep finds the seven.
+- Run each fixture-importing suite whole: the business suite, the bus suite, the cli suite, `scripts/test-config.sh` and every `scripts/test-*.sh`, with TMPDIR under /mnt/storage/scratch/tmp.
+- Sage confirms the result against mos-1309 item 5.
+
+## r2 rebase (sage-3578, 10-23)
+
+- Rebased 34ee4df7d onto origin/refactor 45dca69f6 as scrooge/row285-r2; the old branch is untouched and nothing was force-pushed.
+- Commit map: 0e369895b to 9a77fff7a, 8c529fb4d to 115889e4a, 5f81d0da0 to aabfdfc60, d79cfe674 to 66e3c3d61, 34ee4df7d to cf8ba6ef4.
+- `git range-diff 94c33a43c..34ee4df7d 45dca69f6..cf8ba6ef4` gives `=` on all five. `git patch-id --stable` is unchanged for the whole range (72cc8ef5) and for broker.mjs (caa0e756). merge-tree was clean.
+- Drift 94c33a43c..45dca69f6 (262 commits). On this row's paths only broker.mjs (row 306), bus creative.test and cli launcher.test moved, and they merged clean. roles/, packages/business/ and contracts/ have no upstream change. Row 291 (4874d1e83) and row 308 (30e6bb680) touch the PRD, the requirements json and the tasks and bus requirements tests, which this row does not change. Row 306 touches broker.mjs, access-revoke.test, revoke-window.test and harness runner.mjs.
+- New and changed upstream tests that read `roles/<name>.json`: bus access-revoke, launcher-released, revoke-window, session-clear, session-compactions, sessions, thread-shares, chief-of-staff and creative. Bus chief-of-staff, creative and tester-writes import business tests/helpers.mjs, as do many cli, webui, harness and plugins tests. No 64-hex pin names a role file or broker.mjs. CREATIVE_KINDS has no reader at 45dca69f6. project-runtime.test pins vocabulary.mjs import-free; this row adds no import.
+- Gate scope therefore grows: run the bus, business, cli, webui, harness and plugins suites whole, plus the scripts above.

+## Commit 3: library.write routed
+
+PRD 1.16 landed with row 291 (4874d1e83) and Jason's yes is mos-1354 Q32, so the hold on this commit is gone. `library.write` goes last in ACTIONS in both business/src/vocabulary.mjs and bus/src/broker.mjs, keeping bus hard-waits.test's order-sensitive ACTIONS equal VOCABULARY, and into ROUTED in both, so HARD_WAITS is unchanged. A new business hard-waits test (REQ-WAIT-3, REQ-LIB-6) checks it is in ACTIONS, routed and not GATED_ONLY.
+
+Open for review, not in scope: the PRD says library.write is granted to the six creative roles only. role.mjs checkCreative bounds what a creative role holds, but nothing refuses library.write in a non-creative role's withinRole. The brief asks only that the chief refuses it under an allowlist validator, and the chief has none. Flagged for Webby and Sage.
+
+N1 (sage-3593): role validator should refuse library.write on a non-creative role (PRD 1.16 creative-only). Not part of 285. Role files change only through reviewed commits (invariant 7), so a review would see such a grant today, but a refusal at load is the fail-closed form. Webby confirms it in the round, and Sage files it in DEFERRED as a follow-up row at landing.
+
+Review scope (sage-3593): commits 1-5 are a rebase, so check the range-diff. Commit 3 (8f8b8cf15) is new code, so review it in full.

-mapped. It checks prefixes first. A path under any entry's playground prefix is `playground`, with that
-entry as `universe` and the book folder holding the prefix as `book`, or `null` at universe level and
+mapped. It checks prefixes first, supporting before playground. A path under any entry's supporting
+prefix is `supporting`, and otherwise one under a playground prefix is `playground`. Either way that
+entry is `universe` and the book folder holding the prefix is `book`, or `null` at universe level and
 in a draft. Any other path under a book folder is `canon`. Everything else is `unmapped`. The type is
-the first folder after the playground prefix, or after the book: a `types` name, `manuscript`, or
-`null`.
+the first folder after the prefix, or after the book: a `types` name, `manuscript`, or `null`.

+## Agent write paths
+
+`supportingPath(mapping, universe, path, tree)` returns `path` when an agent may write it in that
+universe, else it refuses `library-write-story-path` (C2-01d, M12). `tree` is the array `listTree`
+returns for the commit the write lands on; anything else is a TypeError. It reads no git. The checks
+run in this order, so a path with two faults always names the same one:
+
+1. a string of at most 1,024 UTF-8 bytes;
+2. no control character (the `editor` class), and the message leaves the path out;
+3. no backslash;
+4. not absolute;
+5. no empty, `.` or `..` segment, which also refuses `//` and a trailing `/`;
+6. `classify` gives `supporting` in that same universe, which refuses unmapped, `.canvas`, `.base`
+   and attachment paths, canon, a playground-only folder and another universe's prefix;
+7. no folder on the way, and not the path itself, is a symlink (`120000`) or gitlink (`160000`) in
+   `tree`;
+8. no folder on the way, and not the path itself, matches a tree path or tree folder after
+   `normalize('NFC').toLowerCase()` unless it is that exact name. APFS folds case and Unicode form,
+   so her checkout would put the file somewhere else. A tree that already holds case twins refuses a
+   write to either (R7).

+
+A credential is `{ kind, user, file }`, with `kind` one of `slot`, `chief`, `seat` or `human`, or the
+bus's `{ refused: code }`. The helper reads only `file`. It opens the file on fd 3 and refuses unless
+the open file and the path have the same device and inode, and the file is regular, the bus's uid's,
+mode 0600 and at most 16384 bytes, as `readSecretFile` in `packages/bus/src/gitea-grant.mjs` checks a
+grant store file. A FIFO swapped in after `test -f` blocks the open, the same residual
+`readSecretFile` has.
+
+- A seat writes with its own Gitea user and grant store file, `<storeRoot>/<business>/<agent>/gitea`.
+- `humanCredential(context, { user, configDir })` gives her save its credential: her Gitea login and
+  `<configDir>/secrets/<business>/library-human`. A missing login, or a slot that is missing, a link,
+  another uid's or not 0600, refuses `library-human-missing` before any git call.
+- The fetch takes the broker's choice, `libraryFetchCredential(business)`. The chief is a `roles`
+  entry whose definition is `chief-of-staff`; a fire keeps it there. With no Gitea grant evidence for
+  a chief, the fetch uses slot `library-gitea` and the entry's `user`. Once there is some, only the one
+  listed chief's live, unheld grant answers, with that grant's user and store file. Anything else
+  refuses `library-fetch-no-grant`, and so does any Gitea grant evidence in a business with no chief
+  entry. That refusal opens no file and runs no git. The bus answers its code; the timer's log line
+  adds `fix: "add the chief of staff, or grant the library through C2-21"`.
+
+The sync state adds `credential`, `{ kind, user }` of the last fetch, or `null` when none ran. It is

+### C2-02 supporting writes and human saves
+
+The host exposes `library.doc.write {universe,path,base,content}` and
+`library.doc.delete {universe,path,base}` only to a creative session holding
+`library.write` and a live, unheld Gitea grant for the library project. The
+broker chooses the project from the universe mapping, the author/committer
+from the instance identity, and the credential from its grant store. `base`
+is the served-tree blob id, or `null` to create. Supporting-path checks run
+before remote effects and against each fetched tip; deletes require an
+existing `100644` blob. Content is UTF-8 without NUL and at most 1 MiB;
+agent requests still have the ordinary 64 KiB socket envelope limit.
+
+Each operation is one plumbing commit with one parent, a fixed
+`Mosaic: write <path>` or `Mosaic: delete <path>` message, and the trailer
+`Mosaic-Agent: <business>/<instance>`. Pushes are fast-forward only. A moved
+remote tip retries once when the target blob still equals `base`; otherwise
+it refuses `stale-base`. A failed push leaves no queued work or local ref
+change. A successful push updates served/tracking, rebuilds the index and
+records `lastPush: {commit,at}`. The broker inserts the exact fixed notice
+`{notice:"library-write",op,path,commit}` from the writer to the human in
+that thread, independently of the agent-message citation guard.
+
+`library.file.save {project,path,base,content}` and
+`library.revert {project,commit}` are human-only. Project is the business
+project key. A save reaches any mapped `.md` file under the structural path
+rules, uses the mapping's `editor` as author and committer, and pushes with
+slot `library-human`. Revert accepts only a reachable, one-parent,
+one-path commit with this business's agent trailer, and restores its
+parent's blob with the agent commit's blob as `base`. The result is
+`{project,path,reverted,commit}`. Revoking/firing the original writer does
+not prevent a human revert. Missing editor refuses
+`library-mapping-invalid`; missing/unsafe human slot refuses
+`library-human-missing`, before Git. An agent calling either human verb
+gets `human-required`. Only `library.file.save` joins the larger Console
+save envelope exception; agent writes retain 64 KiB.
+
+The write guard excludes concurrent sync and admits a race fetch only for
+its opaque owner token. The library flock spans fetch/build/push as the
+brief requires, so readers can receive `library-sync-busy` after the
+existing five-second lock wait while network Git runs (MVP tradeoff,
+sage-3628). Publication errors return `outcome-unknown`: served is restored
+to match old state unless the new state was already published. The remote
+commit remains; callers must inspect status rather than retry blindly.
+
+The human push login is `editor.user` (optional in the mapping, required
+for save/revert), distinct from `user`, which names the fetch bot.
+An absent editor login refuses `library-human-missing`; no fallback uses
+the bot's login. Once an agent push succeeds, the broker stores the exact
+write notice with that pushed commit id before local publication. If
+publication then fails, the agent receives `outcome-unknown` and the
+notice remains. Revert can refuse `library-revert-not-agent` until a sync
+makes the commit reachable from served. No notice outbox or retry is
+needed. If the Console store itself refuses the notice insert, the caller
+still receives `outcome-unknown` and a separate metadata-only host log
+records `library-notice-store-failed` with the business, instance, operation
+and pushed commit id; it contains no file text or credential.
