docs(prd): fold 2026-07-09 debate-pass findings into Mosaic Platform PRD

All 24 panel findings (P0#1-5, P1#6-13, P2/P3#14-24) accepted and folded:
- DEBATE-FINDINGS.md: disposition record + open-disagreement judgment calls
- north-star: NS-14, J2a/J2b split, J6 wake router, K3 push pipeline,
  M1 memory subsystem, workstream L (MALS lineage), real DAG edges
- J: workspace lease J-R16, resume protocol J-R18, write-side trust,
  needs-decision lifecycle, atomic card publish
- P: CAS approval state machine, gateway-only credentials, default-closed
  gating, principal resolution + policy snapshot (Codex #2/#7)
- W: butt-in exclusive lease, structured control plane, break-glass
  doctrine, trial metric panels
- Q: external_refs table, pending-link, echo-loop guard, crash barriers
- X: storage authority (Postgres sole record), machine-generated census,
  memory retrieval-eval retirement gate, honest rollback scope,
  4 artifact-existence machine gates, bounded day-30 review
- README: Gate Zero, conflict register, DoD line, silent-roster rule

One item OPEN for Jason at ratification: gate superstructure (§3.1).

-# npm `@next` prerelease lane
-
-Status: **IMPLEMENTED**
-
-## Current behavior
-
-`tools/install.sh --next` provides the prerelease integration lane for the permanent `next` branch.
-
-The lane is fast-by-default:
-
-1. Install framework files from the `next` source archive.
-2. Resolve the Gitea npm registry `next` dist-tag for the globally installed packages:
-
-   ```bash
-   npm view @mosaicstack/gateway@next version
-   npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic@next version
-   ```
-
-3. Require both resolved versions to share the same `next.<pipeline>` suffix, then install the exact resolved versions.
-4. If either `@next` package is missing, unreachable, mismatched, or fails to install, fall back to the source-build path at `next`.
-
-`--next` never hard-fails solely because the prerelease npm dist-tag is unavailable.
-
-## Published packages
-
-The `next` publish pipeline publishes non-private `@mosaicstack/*` packages to the Mosaic Gitea npm registry:
-
-```text
-https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/
-```
-
-Observed `next` dist-tags after enabling the pipeline:
-
-```text
-@mosaicstack/mosaic@next  -> 0.0.49-next.1633
-@mosaicstack/gateway@next -> 0.0.7-next.1633
-```
-
-The gateway also publishes a Docker image as `gateway:sha-<short>` on `next` merges. The installer fast path uses the npm gateway package when available; the Docker image is for deployed gateway/runtime harness flows.
-
-## Explicit source lanes
-
-Source builds remain available and are still the authority for explicit ref validation:
-
-- `--dev` always builds from source.
-- `--ref <ref>` / `MOSAIC_REF=<ref>` wins over `--next` and uses the source path for that exact ref.
-
-## Pipeline shape
-
-1. Trigger on `next` merges.
-2. Compute the next prerelease version from the upcoming stable version plus the Woodpecker pipeline number (`<target-stable>-next.<CI_PIPELINE_NUMBER>`).
-3. Build and publish non-private packages in CI.
-4. Publish to the Mosaic Gitea npm registry with dist-tag `next`.
-5. Keep `latest` untouched; only main/release promotion can update `latest`.
-6. Publish gateway Docker images from `next` as `gateway:sha-<short>` only.
-
-## Guardrails
-
-- `@next` is mutable prerelease convenience, not a deployment pin.
-- Stable installs continue to use `@latest`.
-- Contributor validation remains available through `--dev --ref <branch>`.
-- Pipeline output traces every prerelease package back to the source commit on `next`.
-- The installer falls back to source rather than hard-failing on prerelease registry issues.

+> **Artifacts:** `jarvis-brain:docs/scratchpads/mosaic-platform-prd-debate/` (THREAD.md — full transcript · SYNTHESIS.md — Principal-Engineer close-out)
+> **Mandate (Jason, 2026-07-09):** "debate and make judgment calls." D1–D12 were held fixed; the panel attacked only the implementing structure. Dispositions below are the convener's judgment calls, folded into the sibling docs in this directory. Items marked **OPEN — Jason** need his call at ratification.

+| 3.1 | Gate architecture: tiered blocking pack (Moonshot+Ops+ML-Cal) vs 4 artifact-existence machine gates + pass/fail-free pre-registered dossier (Contrarian) | **Adopted the agreed floor now** (4 machine gates on irreversible transitions, pre-registration, priced amendments, day-1 emission — folded into X). Superstructure choice is **OPEN — Jason**. Convener recommendation: **Contrarian's dossier + dumb gates** — the tier demonstrably gamed itself within one debate round (13+ claims vs cap 10, slot-riding, zero demotions); simple machine gates don't degrade under pressure. |

+## Process rules adopted (README)
+
+- **Gate Zero** — pre-ratification upstream-artifact audit (`present @ SHA` or MISSING → goal card).
+- **Conflict register** — spec contradictions block the requirement, not the mission ("alert, don't auto-resolve" promoted to specs).
+- **DoD line** on every goal card (runbook, health-floor alerts, AGENTS.md).
+- **Silent-roster rule** — a panel member's silent round records their open findings as open items, never consensus (Codex's R2 silence on #2/#7 is the instance; both were folded as P1 items 12–13 above, explicitly not consensus-resolved).
+
+## Addendum — logging & telemetry (Jason, 2026-07-09, post-debate)
+
+Requirement raised outside the panel, folded in the same pass: Mosaic Stack must support **inbound error reporting/logging** from agents and installs, plus **optional anonymous agentic-efficiency telemetry** — no IP or PII capture, opt-in. The P0 of this capability already exists: **MALS** (Mosaic Agent Log System, FastAPI+Postgres, `~/src/mals`), currently dark because its k3s migration landed without an Ingress (tracked: infrastructure #135). Folded as new **workstream L** (L1 restore MALS · L2 Mosaic-native ingestion · L3 anonymous telemetry) + standing objective **NS-14**. Day-1 trial-metric emission (finding 18) targets MALS until W3 panels exist.

+# PRD — Backlog Provider Sync Adapters · Workstream Q
+
+> **Status:** DRAFT for ratification · **Goals:** Q1–Q3 · **Doctrine:** NS-12 (ratified D3)
+> **Debate pass 2026-07-09:** panel findings folded — see `DEBATE-FINDINGS.md`.
+
+## Mission
+
+Users choose where they _see and touch_ work — Gitea, GitHub, a local kanban — while the **Mosaic Backlog on native Postgres stays the sole record and dispatch engine** (upholds ASM-1; NS-3/NS-4/NS-5 guarantees never depend on an external provider). Providers attach as bidirectional sync adapters.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Adapter interface + Gitea (Q1)
+
+| ID   | Requirement                                                                                                                                                         |
+| ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Q-R1 | A `BacklogProviderAdapter` interface: map card ⇄ external item (create/update/close/comment/label), with stable external-id linkage stored on the card.             |
+| Q-R2 | Sync is bidirectional and conflict-safe: native record wins on divergence; external edits arrive as proposed mutations (applied if non-conflicting, else surfaced). |
+| Q-R3 | Claims, TTLs, depends_on DAG, and dispatch state live **only** in the native record; adapters project them (e.g. as labels/comments) but never own them.            |
+| Q-R4 | Gitea adapter first (webhook + API), configured per workspace: repo mapping, label conventions, direction (mirror-out / mirror-in / full).                          |
+| Q-R5 | Adapter enable/disable is workspace configuration; zero adapters is a fully supported mode.                                                                         |
+
+### GitHub (Q2)
+
+| ID   | Requirement                                                                                                                                                             |
+| ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Q-R6 | Same interface, GitHub Issues backend. Existing `packages/cli-tools` platform detection informs but does not implement this (that is dev tooling, not product runtime). |
+
+### Local kanban (Q3)
+
+| ID   | Requirement                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Q-R7 | A webUI kanban board over the native backlog (no external provider needed) — the "local kanban" choice. Builds on W3's card views and/or the existing `KanbanBoard` component upgraded from demo-grade to live data. |
+
+## Debate-accepted deltas (2026-07-09) — normative
+
+| ID    | Requirement                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Q-R8  | **External-ref linkage is one shared mechanism:** a unique-indexed `external_refs(entity_id, system, external_id)` table serves adapter linkage (Q-R1), migration idempotency (X-R4 anti-join), and re-point verification (X-R6) — built once, three consumers. Idempotent upsert; a violated unique index is a converge signal, never an overwrite. |
+| Q-R9  | **Crash-safe external creates:** the adapter writes a `pending-link` row **before** any external create and embeds a deterministic card-id marker in the created item, so a crash between create and link-back is recovered by scan, never by duplicate creation.                                                                                    |
+| Q-R10 | **Echo-loop guard:** both directions carry revision counters; adapter-authored external edits are tagged (marker/actor) and skipped on read-back. A sync cycle that would re-import its own write is a hard test failure.                                                                                                                            |
+| Q-R11 | The sync engine is a **level-triggered reconciler** over desired-vs-observed state (same doctrine as J6), not a webhook-only event chase: webhooks accelerate convergence, the reconciler guarantees it. Missed webhooks are a latency event, not a correctness event.                                                                               |
+| Q-R12 | Card spec immutability (J-R20) projects cleanly: the mirrored issue body is the pinned spec revision; amendments append as **ordered provider comments**, never body rewrites, so external watchers see the same amendment history as the native record.                                                                                             |
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. A card created by Jarvis (J3) appears as a Gitea issue within one sync interval; closing the issue in Gitea marks the card for review, not silent closure; dispatch/claims never round-trip through Gitea.
+2. Killing the adapter mid-mission: dispatch continues unaffected (record is native); on restart, sync converges without duplicates.
+3. The same mission can be mirrored to Gitea and viewed on the local kanban simultaneously without state divergence.
+4. **Named crash barriers** at every external-call boundary (`before_external_create`, `after_create_before_link`, `after_link_before_ack`): kill the adapter at each; zero duplicate external items, zero orphaned cards. CI rule: a new external call site without a named barrier + kill test **fails the build**. Residual randomized soak is trace-directed (§3.6 disposition).
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- External provider AS the backlog (vetoed — "truly swappable backends" option declined 2026-07-09).
+- Two-way sync of claims/TTL semantics (external systems can't express them; projection only).
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- ASSUMPTION: the delivery fleet's _engineering_ PR/issue flow on the stack repo itself continues to use `cli-tools`/Gitea directly — workstream Q is the product feature for user workspaces, not a replacement for the dev workflow.

+# PRD — Hermes Decommission & Tenant-1 Migration · Workstream X
+
+> **Status:** DRAFT for ratification · **Goals:** X1–X3 · **Doctrine:** NS-13, ASM-8 (Hermes untouched until verified parity)
+> Ratified direction (D2, 2026-07-09): Mosaic absorbs **all four** Hermes functions — messaging bridge, task board, permission relay, multi-platform reach.
+> **Debate pass 2026-07-09:** panel findings folded — this PRD took the heaviest rewrite (storage authority, migration census, memory-store hygiene, honest rollback scope). See `DEBATE-FINDINGS.md`.
+
+## Deployment scope (D12/ASM-9)
+
+The trial runs in the **homelab**. Hermes and the primitive-era stack (`mos-claude.service`, jarvis-brain boards) live in the **USC/web1 environment**, which is untouched during the trial. This workstream therefore lands in two stages: **X-in-homelab** (prove parity where the fleet is native — mainly K/P/Q verification plus tenant-1 migration) and **X-at-USC** (post-trial adoption: apply the parity checklist to web1, migrate Mos-on-web1 to `mosaic-agent@orchestrator`, then decommission Hermes there, with `/src/infrastructure` GitOps updates in the same delivery set).
+
+**Trial go/no-go (D12/ASM-9 gate):** the homelab→USC promotion is **owner-judgment**, not an automated metric. The stage gate is: _Jason instantiates and operates the split-agent stack in the homelab and is satisfied with its operation._ Only on that explicit sign-off does X-at-USC begin. The capability ACs (AC-NS-8…11) are the evidence Jason weighs; they inform the decision but do not auto-trigger USC deployment.
+
+## Mission
+
+Retire Hermes entirely. Mosaic becomes the platform for transport (Matrix connector), task board (native backlog + webUI/adapters), approvals (permission relay), and multi-platform reach (mautrix bridges). In the same arc, Jason's jarvis-brain flat-file data migrates into the product as **tenant #1**, making the product's PA feature set the dogfooded default.

+| X-R1  | A written, testable parity checklist per row above; each item verified in production before its Hermes counterpart is disabled. The checklist is seeded from a **pre-trial usage audit**: per-MCP-tool and per-capability call counts over a trailing window, plus an inventory of Hermes-held provider callbacks/webhooks and secrets. Parity rows with `n < 5` real invocations in the window cannot be "verified by traffic" — they get **scheduled drills in weeks 1–3** of the observation window instead of silent green. |
+| X-R1a | **Approval-routing cutover is per-agent atomic:** a cutover table states, per agent, the single moment its `permissions_*` path flips from Hermes to the P relay.

+| X-R2  | Cutover is staged with rollback at every stage; Hermes runs untouched until AC-NS-11 is verified (ASM-8). **Rollback is honestly scoped (debate #16): it restores _transport_ (Hermes services + MCP registrations) — board/approval state created natively during the trial does NOT back-migrate.** The **point of no return is the first native-only card**; the runbook says so explicitly, and the abort path (below) is written before cutover, not during an incident.                                                   |

+### Tenant-1 migration (X2)
+
+**Framing (ratified 2026-07-09, storage authority clarified by debate P0 #1):** jarvis-brain **is the P0 (prototype) Mosaic Stack** — its flat-file data layer is the zeroth implementation of what the product does properly. Migration is therefore _P0 → proper Mosaic Stack_. **Native Postgres is the sole authoritative store for every product entity** (consistent with workstream Q's "sole record" doctrine and NS-3/NS-4/NS-5). A flat-file backend, where offered, is a **derived, regenerated, read-only projection** — the same relationship generated views have to JSON in the P0 today — never a co-equal write target. Two distinct data classes migrate — they are not the same destination and neither is frozen:
+
+- **(a) PA data** (projects, tasks, events, tickets, knowledge) → product entities in the Jason workspace (Project/Task/Event/KnowledgeEntry), authoritative in Postgres; flat-file export available as a read-only projection.
+- **(b) Agent memory & operational knowledge** (runbooks, digests, scratchpads, OpenBrain thoughts) → the **enhanced memory subsystem (goal M1: vector DB + memory service)**. This flow stays **live and writable** throughout — it was never Hermes and must not be frozen by the PA cutover.

+| X-R4 | **Stage 1 of the migrator is a machine-generated source census, not a hand-written file list** (debate P0 #5 — the hand list was already wrong about its own tree). The census walks the live repo (tracked + untracked), inventories every data path — `data/**`, all memory stores (`memory/`, `memories/`, `memory_store*`, `memory.md`, `brain.jsonl`, `jarvis.db`, digests), scratchpads, notes, prior-generation artifacts — and assigns each a disposition: `migrate-as-PA(entity type)` / `migrate-as-memory(M1 class)` / `derived-regenerate` / `retire-with-history`. **Any path dispositioned `unknown` blocks the run.** Stage 2 migrates per-disposition, preserving source ids in metadata; idempotency via anti-join on the shared `external_refs` table (Q-R8); named crash barriers at each phase boundary. A **field-map table** covers the full `brain.py` query surface (status, progress, due, priority, domain, notes, staleness) → product entity fields, so AC 2 is checkable field-by-field.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

+| X-R6 | External sync jobs (GLPI, Google Calendar, ICS, Gmail, **Vikunja — disposition decided here: re-point or retire, not silently dropped**) each get a **written per-integration transition protocol**: freeze flat-file sync job → verify product integration live → re-point → verify → retire old job. **Provider-sourced events migrate FROM the provider, not from flat files** (flat files supply only brain-native events) — the provider join key is authoritative, so re-pointing cannot duplicate the calendar (debate #6). Calendar fixture (Codex): a DST-crossing recurring event with one moved and one cancelled occurrence, plus an all-day event, round-trips with zero duplicates and correct local times.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| X-R7 | Agent memory/operational knowledge (b) is migrated into the M1 memory subsystem **before** any jarvis-brain retirement; the memory write path stays continuously available (no read-only freeze of an active substrate). The census classifies every memory item: `ratified` / `superseded` / `draft` / `rejected` / `debate-artifact` / `protocol-normative` / `protocol-parametric`. **Parametric measurement artifacts (thresholds, seeds, drill timings, canary templates) are excluded from embedding** (§3.5 disposition — rules the agent is scored against stay retrievable; the knobs do not). Superseded/rejected items get **tombstones**, and supersession triggers re-embedding of affected summaries. **Retirement gate: a retrieval eval — ≥50 representative queries, ≥90% of baseline recall@5, plus negative queries (rejected/superseded content must NOT surface) — passes against M1 before any flat-file store goes read-only.** After cutover: write paths to retired stores are killed and a CI lint fails any reintroduction. Only once **both** (a) and (b) are migrated and verified is the jarvis-brain repo retired read-only (history preserved); generated views and brain.py retire. This closes the P0 prototype. |

+| X-R8 | **Pre-stop evidence snapshot is a machine gate:** before Hermes stops, a checksummed snapshot of its state (board items, pending approvals, bridge registrations, per-tool usage counts) is captured and stored with the trial artifacts. The drill schedule (X-R1) and the credential-revocation report both **cite the snapshot checksum** — no snapshot, no stop. Then: services stopped, disabled, and removed from infra (GitOps: `/src/infrastructure` updated in the same delivery set); credentials revoked — the revocation report cites a **final scan** showing zero live references; MCP registrations removed from agent runtimes.              |
+| X-R9 | **Bounded day-30 review** between stop and removal, pre-registered before cutover (dossier: what will be measured, panels cited, drill results attached — see W-R15/L1 for where the metrics live, `stack_version`-segmented so mid-window upgrades don't blur rates). The review records exactly one of three outcomes: **promote** (remove Hermes), **extend with named blockers** (each blocker a card with an owner), or **abort** (execute the pre-written abort runbook; transport-only rollback per X-R2). "Insufficient data" is a recordable outcome that forces extend — never a shrug into promote. Any in-window regression flips back per X-R2. |
+
+## Machine gates on irreversible transitions (debate §3.1 agreed floor)
+
+Four **artifact-existence gates** — dumb, checkable, ungameable — sit on the irreversible transitions. Each is "the artifact exists and passes its check", not a scored rubric:
+
+1. **Pre-stop snapshot** exists with valid checksum (X-R8) — gates Hermes stop.
+2. **Census with zero `unknown` rows** exists (X-R4) — gates the PA migration run.
+3. **Retrieval eval pass record** exists (X-R7) — gates memory-store retirement.
+4. **All parity rows green-or-drilled** (X-R1: verified by traffic or by scheduled drill; no silent low-n green) — gates Hermes removal at day-30.
+
+The gate _superstructure_ beyond this floor (tiered blocking pack vs pre-registered dossier) is **OPEN — Jason** at ratification; convener recommendation in `DEBATE-FINDINGS.md` §3.1.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. AC-NS-11: with Hermes stopped, no fleet or main-agent capability regresses.
+2. `python tools/brain.py today`'s information content is fully answerable by Jarvis from the product workspace post-X2, verified field-by-field against the X-R4 field-map table.
+3. Zero references to Hermes MCP tools in any active agent runtime config after X3.
+4. The X-R6 calendar fixture (DST-crossing recurrence, moved + cancelled occurrence, all-day event) round-trips with zero duplicates.
+5. The X-R7 retrieval eval passes against M1 before any memory store goes read-only; negative queries return no superseded/rejected content.
+6. All four machine gates above have their artifacts on record before their respective transitions execute.
+
+## Sequencing note
+
+X depends on the longest chains (K1→K2, P2, Q1, J2a→J2b, **M1** — X2 cannot complete class (b) without the memory subsystem existing). Dependencies are real DAG edges in `north-star-additions.yaml` (`X2 depends_on [J2a, P2, M1]`), not prose phases (debate P0 #3). Expected order of value delivery: J1–J4 (Jarvis on existing transport interim) → K1/J5 (Matrix room) → P2, W1–W3, Q1 in parallel → X1 checklist → X2 migration → K2 bridges → X3 decommission.
+
+- ASSUMPTION (interim transport): until K1 lands, Jarvis may run against the tmux connector (CLI/`agent send`) rather than standing up any Discord channel — keeps D1 (Matrix-first, no #jarvis Discord) intact.

+## Mission
+
+Every Mosaic **workspace** gets exactly one always-on human-machine-interface agent — default alias **Jarvis**, unit `mosaic-agent@main.service` — that owns the human relationship: conversation, idea development, schedule, email, tasks, knowledge. It delegates all engineering/research/ops work to the orchestrator (**Mos**, `mosaic-agent@orchestrator.service`) through the Mosaic Backlog, and reports fleet status to the user without ever interrupting the orchestrator.
+
+Jarvis is a **Level-0 orchestrator**: it accomplishes its own work through _delegation and subagents_, never by executing coding/infra tasks itself. PA mutations (tasks/events/knowledge) are direct API calls; everything heavier is either a spawned subagent (research, drafting, analysis) or a backlog card handed to Mos (engineering/infra/fleet). This keeps the main agent's context conversational and light.
+
+This solves the observed failure mode: a busy orchestrator that can't respond, accumulates conversational context rot, and derails over time. Post-split, the orchestrator's context is execution-only.
+
+Because Jarvis and Mos are **separate agents with separate model capacity** (D11: Jarvis on Opus, Mos on Fable; independent inference quota), orchestrator load cannot degrade conversational latency — the isolation in AC-NS-8 is a capacity guarantee, not merely a separate process.

+| J-R1  | Jarvis is provisioned from the personal-assistant persona baseline via system-type profiles (H2/H3); alias, model tier, host, and channel are profile fields, not code.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| J-R2  | Default model tier **Opus** (ratified D11); the orchestrator's tier is independent. Always-_available_ ≠ always-_billed_: Opus is provisioned 24/7 but cost is per-interaction — an idle Jarvis (no user turn in flight) incurs no model spend, so "always-on" carries no standing token bill.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
+| J-R3  | Jarvis survives reboot under systemd (`mosaic-agent@main`), participates in the fleet heartbeat protocol, and is counted in the supervisor's health floor.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
+| J-R4  | Persona customization is update-surviving per H4 (override layer wins on merge).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
+| J-R16 | **Workspace lease (exactly-one fencing):** Jarvis acquires `workspace_lease(workspace_id, epoch)` — a CAS row in product Postgres — before processing any turn. Every PA write, card, and approval carries the epoch; stale-epoch writes are rejected server-side; the connector re-checks the lease immediately before every outbound send. Takeover posts an in-room/in-channel epoch notice. Degraded mode (lease unobtainable) = **mute-with-notice**, never conversational-while-unfenced. Clean shutdown releases the lease. This primitive also excludes homelab/USC split-brain during adoption. |
+| J-R17 | Per-agent spend metering with a daily budget alarm for `mosaic-agent@main`; a main-agent crash-loop is a distinct, escalated supervisor condition (not a generic restart count).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
+| J-R18 | **Resume protocol (promoted from open item):** resume context is reconstructed from authoritative queries (board, heartbeats, workspace entities), with narrative summary layered on top; a session-start divergence check flags contradictions between narrative and authoritative state. Jarvis is never re-instantiated from its own lossy summaries alone.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
+
+### PA toolchain (J2a workspace-internal · J2b external)
+
+**Split (debate P0 #2):** phase-1 Jarvis operates only on workspace-internal entities — **no external-write credential path exists** until the permission relay (P2) is live. External integrations arrive in phase 2 as J2b, `depends_on: [J2a, P2]`. Test: in a phase-1 deployment, `email:send` is _impossible_ (no credential provisioned), not merely unapproved.

+| J-R5  | (J2a) Jarvis executes personal-assistant mutations **directly** in the user's workspace via the product API: tasks, events/calendar, knowledge entries, ideas. No delegation for PA ops (ratified D4).                                                                                                                                                                                        |
+| J-R6  | (J2b) External PA integrations (email, external calendars, helpdesk) are workspace-scoped integrations; **raw credentials are held exclusively by the gateway** — Jarvis receives scoped capability tokens, never provider secrets; actions flagged `requires_approval` route through the permission relay (workstream P).                                                                    |
+| J-R7  | Until tenant-1 migration (X2) completes, Jarvis may read/write the jarvis-brain flat files as a transitional adapter; the adapter is deleted after the **last verified X-R6 re-point** (not at a nominal "X2 cutover" date). A per-phase, per-entity-type source-of-truth table in the J1 profile states which store is authoritative at every moment.                                        |
+| J-R19 | **Write-side trust rule:** externally-sourced content (email bodies, bridged messages, webhook payloads) written into workspace entities or memory inherits `source_trust=external` **transitively through summarization**. Standing-instruction-shaped external content requires explicit user ratification before it becomes retrievable. This closes the injection→durable-memory channel. |

+| J-R8  | The Jarvis→Mos handoff is **only** via Mosaic Backlog cards: goal, acceptance criteria, priority, depends_on, advisory budget. Never via chat messages to the orchestrator.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
+| J-R9  | Jarvis translates conversation outcomes into card sets; ambiguity is resolved with the user _before_ card creation — the orchestrator receives only decision-complete work.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |

+| J-R11 | Authority line: Mos holds all execution and merge authority (NS-4). Jarvis relays the user's GO/NO-GO gates as card state, and never acquires fleet mutation, merge, or dispatch rights. `ratified_by=user` authorizes **dispatch only** — it never substitutes for the reviewer-of-record merge gate.                                                                                                        |
+| J-R20 | Card sets are drafted then **published atomically** with client idempotency keys (no partial card sets on crash). Card spec is **immutable after publish**; changes arrive as typed, ordered amendments with a revision counter; reviewer sign-offs pin the spec revision; scope-expanding amendments re-enter ratification.                                                                                  |
+| J-R21 | **`needs-decision` lifecycle:** a worker hitting genuine ambiguity sets `needs-decision(question, options)` on the card **with a durable checkpoint** (pushed branch + card note) — resume after days is a re-dispatch, not a context continuation. Jarvis relays the question to the user and writes the answer back as an amendment. This is the sanctioned clarification path; J-R8's no-chat rule stands. |
+| J-R22 | Jarvis-authored cards draw from a **priority budget** (quota per priority class per window) — priority inflation by the card author degrades the field for the whole fleet and is structurally capped, not policed by review.                                                                                                                                                                                 |

Delivered via the **J6 event/wake router** — per-agent polling is forbidden.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
+| J-R23 | **Event/wake router (J6):** one shared, level-triggered reconciler over durable state (heartbeats, card states, approval queue) wakes Jarvis on state _change_ with hysteretic per-condition suppression (wake once, then only on change or declared backoff; suppression survives restarts). Wake turns are **templated** — fixed instruction frame, workspace data only in delimited, provenance-tagged data fields (closes the injection→system-role channel). Idempotent on source event id via the shared consumed-events table. Router is in the health floor; its cost model and latency bound are stated in the J6 card. Reconciles J-R2: an idle Jarvis costs nothing _because waking is event-driven, not poll-driven_. |

+| J-R14  | **Phase 2 (target channel):** Jarvis's conversation lives in a dedicated Matrix room on the self-hosted homeserver via `OrchestratorConnector(matrix)` (K1 = f4 Phase 2). Matrix-first: no Discord channel is created for Jarvis (ratified D1).                                                                                                                                         |
+| J-R14a | **Phase 1 (interim channel, ratified):** Jarvis runs on the **tmux/CLI connector** — the f4 Phase-1 default connector. The operator launches the `mosaic-agent@main` tmux session and issues `/remote-control` to grant interactive access; this is the day-one conversation surface. No Discord, no Matrix dependency in Phase 1 (keeps D1 intact and unblocks J1–J4 before K1 lands). |
+| J-R15  | Multi-platform user reach arrives via mautrix bridges (K2); Jarvis's code path is Matrix-only (from Phase 2 onward).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. AC-NS-8 **(made measurable)**: distinct credential/quota pools for Jarvis and Mos are pinned in the J1 profile; scripted suite of ≥30 interleaved turns under full orchestrator load; TTFT p95 ≤ 1.2× idle baseline with bootstrap CI; orchestrator receives zero conversational traffic.
+2. AC-NS-9: a conversationally-agreed mission round-trips (cards → drained → completed → reported by Jarvis) with no chat handoff.
+3. Kill the orchestrator mid-conversation: Jarvis conversation is unaffected; Jarvis reports the outage from heartbeat state. (Directly exercises the separate-capacity guarantee.)
+4. `!sys`-equivalent admin verbs work in Jarvis's active channel — the tmux/CLI session in Phase 1, the Matrix room in Phase 2 (status/logs/clear/restart of the main agent).
+5. **Phase-1 channel:** operator launches the `mosaic-agent@main` tmux session, issues `/remote-control`, and holds a full conversation with Jarvis over CLI with no Matrix/Discord dependency.
+6. **Fencing:** start a second `mosaic-agent@main` by hand — it fails to acquire the workspace lease, posts a notice, and stays mute; zero duplicate writes or cards reach the workspace (J-R16).
+7. **Phase-1 credential surface:** audit of a phase-1 install finds no external-provider credential readable by the Jarvis runtime (J2a/J2b split holds by construction).
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Jarvis executing code/infra changes (that is Mos + fleet).
+- Horizontal sharding of the main agent (rejected in the Matrix charter: split-brain).
+- Per-workspace fleets (post-MVP per ASM-6).
+
+## Open items (for Mos's planner)
+
+- ~~Context hygiene / resume protocol~~ — promoted to J-R18 by the 2026-07-09 debate pass.
+- Reconcile the old `apps/api` matrix-bot-sdk workspace bridge with the F4 connector design (one Matrix stack, not two). NOTE (verified 2026-07-09): no matrix dependency remains in `apps/api` on `origin/main` — this item is likely already moot; confirm before K1 build.

+# PRD — Permission Relay · Workstream P
+
+> **Status:** DRAFT for ratification · **Goals:** P1–P3
+> **Debate pass 2026-07-09:** panel findings folded — see `DEBATE-FINDINGS.md`. The relay was the panel's densest target; the deltas below are normative.
+> **Design origin (historical):** `docs/3-architecture/guard-rails-capability-permissions.md` — the "prepare freely, execute with approval" snapshot. **Not present on `origin/main`** (survives only in the stale `/src/mosaic-stack` clone), so its essential model is folded into this PRD below; **this document is the authoritative, self-contained spec for P.**
+> **Replaces:** Hermes `permissions_list_open` / `permissions_respond` relay (Hermes exit prerequisite, NS-13)
+
+## Mission
+
+A human-in-the-loop approval mechanism for agent actions: any capability listed as `requires_approval` is prepared by the agent, queued, and executed only after an explicit human approve — from the Matrix room or the webUI. Today this exists only as a bare `applyGuardRails()` method; Hermes currently fills the gap and must be replaced before decommission.
+
+## Design model (folded in — the authoritative spec, since the origin snapshot is off-main)
+
+**Doctrine — "prepare freely, execute with approval":** an agent may plan, draft, and stage any action without friction; only the _committing_ step of a `requires_approval` capability blocks on a human decision.
+
+**Permission levels (least→most):** `read` → `organize` → `draft` → `execute` → `admin`. A capability grant names a level; `requires_approval` gates the transition into `execute`/`admin` for the capabilities a workspace marks sensitive.
+
+**Grant shape:** `resource:action` (e.g. `email:send`, `git:push_main`, `dns:update`), scoped per workspace and per agent-persona, stored as configuration (profile field) so a user tightens/loosens without a code change.
+
+## Requirements

+
+| ID   | Requirement                                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| P-R1 | Capabilities are `resource:action` grants (e.g. `email:send`, `git:push_main`, `dns:update`) with permission levels (read / organize / draft / execute / admin) per the existing design doc. |
+| P-R2 | Each integration declares its `requires_approval` list; grants are workspace-scoped and per-agent-persona.                                                                                   |
+| P-R3 | Enforcement sits in the gateway/API dispatch path — an agent cannot bypass it by construction; bypass attempts are audited and denied.                                                       |
+| P-R4 | Policy is configuration (profile field), honoring the configurability pillar: a user can tighten/loosen per capability without code change.                                                  |
+
+### Approval queue + chat approvals (P2)
+
+| ID   | Requirement                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| P-R5 | A pending approval is a durable queue record: requesting agent, capability, human-readable intent summary, prepared payload reference, TTL.                                                                                                  |
+| P-R6 | Approve/deny from the Matrix room (message action or reply verb); the requesting agent is notified of the outcome and proceeds/aborts.                                                                                                       |
+| P-R7 | Timeout = deny (fail-closed), with **per-capability TTLs** and distinct terminal states: `denied` / `expired_seen` / `expired_unseen` — agents must not reason about an expiry as a human "no". Deny and timeout leave the system unchanged. |
+| P-R8 | Full audit trail: who approved what, when, from which surface (AC-NS-10).                                                                                                                                                                    |
+| P-R9 | The main agent (Jarvis) surfaces pending approvals conversationally (J-R13) but approval authority is the human's — Jarvis never auto-approves.                                                                                              |

+### State machine & delivery (extends P-R5–P-R7)
+
+| ID    | Requirement                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

+| P-R11 | Approval lifecycle is a **CAS state machine on one durable row**: `pending → approved \| denied \| expired_seen \| expired_unseen`, all terminal. Concurrent surfaces (Matrix, webUI, CLI, TTL reaper) contend via compare-and-swap; exactly one wins.                                                                                                            |
+| P-R12 | The **prepared payload is persisted in the record at request time** — never a reference to requesting-agent process state (the agent may be dead when approval lands). Outcome delivery is **poll/ack**, not push-only; `approved_unexecuted > N min` raises an alarm.                                                                                            |
+| P-R13 | A **consumed-event dedupe table** (shared substrate with bridged-message and wake-turn dedupe — built once, three consumers) makes approval consumption idempotent under Matrix at-least-once replay. Dedupe retention is **checkpoint-coupled**: events older than the durable sync token are dropped before lookup, so pruning never reopens the replay window. |
+| P-R14 | Each capability declares `retry: safe \| at-most-once`; a prepare→execute **staleness bound** rejects execution of stale payloads. Re-surfacing an expired item **re-prepares** (new linked record with a rendered machine diff against the original) — never re-queues a stale payload.                                                                          |
+| P-R15 | **CLI approval surface** (`mosaic approvals list\|approve\|deny`) ships **with P2** as must-have — the newest infra (Matrix) is never the only approval path. Per-request delivered/seen tracking; TTL/2 escalation via a second path.                                                                                                                            |

+| P-R16 | **Principal resolution:** every inbound approve/deny maps to a product principal via immutable Matrix user ID + bridge provenance + workspace membership. Unlinked identities and bridged puppets without an account link converse read-only and **cannot approve, butt-in, or trigger external writes**. Fixtures: bridged puppet, renamed user, invited non-admin, removed-member-with-lagging-room-membership — all deny + audit with reason. |
+| P-R17 | **Policy snapshot:** every prepared action and card stores an immutable snapshot (profile id/version, grants evaluated). Execution **revalidates against current policy** or fails with explicit `policy_changed`. Profile changes are audited with schema validation + dry-run impact report. Delegated work (subagent, Jarvis-authored card) executes under the **intersection** of originator and executor grants.                            |

+| P-R18 | Raw provider credentials are held **exclusively by the gateway**; agents receive scoped capability tokens; the gateway injects secrets server-side. If the agent runtime can read the provider secret, P-R3 is decoration.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| P-R19 | P1 delivers a **fleet-host credential inventory**: every host-resident credential (SSH keys, kubeconfigs, tool tokens) classified `moved-behind-gateway` or `explicitly-exempt(reason, owner, expiry)`. Enforced by a **continuous scheduled scan** of agent-readable paths (alert on unclassified), registered in the health floor. The clean-host install AC passes with an **empty exemption list**. Break-glass is one standing exempt row (owner: operator; audited post-hoc). |

+| P-R20 | **Default-closed inversion:** `execute`/`admin` capabilities on external integrations require approval **unless** workspace-allowlisted. Third state `unclassified`: a capability with no classification **rejects** at the gate. Classification happens at integration-version activation, scoped to the **capability, not the version** — a security patch bundling one new capability ships same-day; only the new capability rejects until classified. Manifest-less capabilities reject + integrity alert. |
+| P-R21 | Rate limits + `max_pending_per_agent_per_capability`; queue depth and human decision latency are exported metrics with thresholds (rubber-stamping guard). Capabilities carry a `deferrable` flag; a declared **away state** pauses deferrable TTLs, batches pings, and **suppresses preparation** of non-deferrable requests (suppressed list swept, priority-ordered and paginated, on return).                                                                                                               |
+| P-R22 | Approval summaries render **machine-extracted payload facts unconditionally** (recipient, amount, target host — no tunable similarity threshold); agent prose is secondary. **Canary approvals** are gateway-generated, short-circuited at the gateway (never executable), immediately disclosed after decision, timing seeded outside agent-readable stores; the gated criterion is machine-flag correctness — human catch rate is reported with binomial CI, non-blocking.                                    |
+| P-R23 | Every durable table introduced by P declares a **retention class**, linted in CI; pruning jobs are health-floor registered. Minimal mandatory audit envelope: `ts, workspace, actor, correlation_id, stack_version, schema_version` — payloads are typed free-form with pinned, checked-in queries (debate §3.2 disposition).                                                                                                                                                                                   |
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. AC-NS-10 end-to-end: a `requires_approval` action executes only post-approve; deny/timeout paths verified unchanged + audited.
+2. Approval round-trip from a phone Matrix client (Element) in under 3 taps — **and** the same round-trip via `mosaic approvals` CLI with the homeserver stopped.
+3. With Hermes stopped, permission flow fully served by Mosaic (feeds AC-NS-11).
+4. Crash-consistency: kill the gateway at each named barrier (`before_persist`, `after_approve_before_execute`, `after_execute_before_ack`); zero double-executions, zero lost approvals across the suite.
+5. All four principal-resolution fixtures (P-R16) deny + audit; policy-change race (P-R17) fails `policy_changed`, never executes under stale grants.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Automated quality gates (coordinator/CI approvals) — different system, already exists.
+- Fine-grained LLM output moderation — out of scope; this governs _actions_.
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- ASSUMPTION: the durable queue rides the native Postgres storage service (same substrate as the backlog), not a new datastore.
+- ASSUMPTION: routine delivery operations already hard-gated as no-confirmation (push/merge per Mosaic contract) are NOT routed through the relay — the relay is for `requires_approval` capabilities only, so it does not reintroduce routine confirmation prompts.

+# PRD — webUI Fleet Control · Workstream W (realizes F6)
+
+> **Status:** DRAFT for ratification · **Goals:** W1–W3 · **Upstream anchor:** `PRD-fleet-suite.md` Phase F6 ("webUI hooks — stable JSON contract + terminate/attach(butt-in) surface")
+> Confirmed gap: zero xterm/pty/tmux code in `apps/web` on either the old snapshot or `origin/main`.
+> **Debate pass 2026-07-09:** panel findings folded — see `DEBATE-FINDINGS.md`.
+
+## Mission
+
+The user can pop in on **any** agentic tmux session from the web, and get a full top-down view of the system — fleet roster, health, work in flight, spend — without touching a terminal. This is the product surface for "user has ability to pop in on any agent session; full top-down view available."
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Attach service (W1)
+
+| ID   | Requirement                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
+| ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| W-R1 | A gateway service exposes per-agent session streams over WebSocket: **watch** (read-only pane view, cannot type) and **butt-in** (interactive takeover), mirroring the existing CLI verbs `mosaic agent watch/attach`. |
+| W-R2 | Authz is workspace-scoped through the product auth stack (BetterAuth/Authentik); watch and butt-in are separate grants; butt-in may be `requires_approval` per workspace policy (workstream P).                        |
+| W-R3 | Every attach (watch or butt-in) is audited: who, which agent, when, duration.                                                                                                                                          |
+| W-R4 | Butt-in visibly flags the session to the agent runtime and other viewers (no silent takeover).                                                                                                                         |
+| W-R5 | Contract is stable JSON + streaming frames per F6's "stable JSON contract" requirement, so TUI/CLI and webUI share it.                                                                                                 |
+
+### Web terminal (W2)
+
+| ID   | Requirement                                                                                                 |
+| ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| W-R6 | xterm.js view in `apps/web` wired to W1: session list → click → live pane; toggle watch↔butt-in per grants. |
+| W-R7 | Reconnect-safe (network blips resume the stream), mobile-usable read-only view.                             |
+
+### Top-down dashboard (W3)
+
+| ID    | Requirement                                                                                                                                                              |
+| ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| W-R8  | Fleet dashboard: roster with per-agent state (systemd + tmux + heartbeat join, as `fleet ps` provides), current card/task, last activity, drift/boot-enable warnings.    |
+| W-R9  | Work-in-flight view: backlog cards by state with depends_on DAG rendering; advisory spend per card (NS-2/NS-5).                                                          |
+| W-R10 | Operator controls: PAUSE kill-switch (NS-8), per-agent terminate (killswitch service), queue pause/resume — each gated + audited; destructive controls confirm.          |
+| W-R11 | Existing widget framework (`AgentStatusWidget`, `OrchestratorEventsWidget`, SSE proxy routes) is the starting point, upgraded to the fleet contract rather than rebuilt. |
+
+## Debate-accepted deltas (2026-07-09) — normative
+
+| ID    | Requirement                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
+| ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| W-R12 | **Butt-in is an exclusive lease** with explicit, visible takeover: at most one interactive holder per session at any instant; a second client must take the lease and both parties see the transfer. Input frames are sequenced and deduped so a reconnect never double-sends; a heartbeat/idle timeout closes both the lease and its audit span — audit spans always terminate (extends W-R1/W-R3/W-R4).                                                                         |
+| W-R13 | **Structured control plane:** PAUSE, terminate, restart, approve/deny, and queue operations are typed API verbs with RBAC and audit — never bytes typed into a tmux pane. Raw terminal input via butt-in is **rescue-only** and a separately-grantable permission from the control verbs.                                                                                                                                                                                         |
+| W-R14 | **Break-glass doctrine (documented, not prevented):** SSH + `tmux attach` on the fleet host bypasses W1 and P **by design**; it is inventoried under P-R19, audited post-hoc from host logs, and never treated as a product path. PAUSE additionally has an **on-host file/CLI actuator** so a dead gateway can never lock the operator out of the control that fixes the gateway.                                                                                                |
+| W-R15 | W3 ships the **trial metric panels** as workspace-scoped product views over product storage: canary machine-flag correctness, approval decision latency, card priority distribution, wake→ack rate, agent-authored memory retrieval fraction, human interaction load, fixed-input probe stability. The X-R9 trial evidence pack cites these panels; until W3 exists, day-1 emission targets MALS (L1). Workspace isolation fixture: workspace-2 admin sees zero workspace-1 rows. |
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. From a browser (desktop + phone), the user watches a live coder-agent pane read-only, then butt-ins with the right grant, types a message, detaches; agent session continues; audit log shows both.
+2. Dashboard reflects an agent crash within one heartbeat interval; PAUSE flip halts dispatch within one tick (AC-NS-5) from the UI.
+3. A user without butt-in grant can watch but cannot type (enforced server-side).
+4. Two clients contend for butt-in: exactly one holds the lease at any instant, the takeover is visible to both, and after a forced reconnect the input stream shows zero duplicated or interleaved frames (W-R12).
+5. With the gateway stopped, the operator PAUSEs the fleet via the on-host actuator; the bypass appears in the post-hoc audit (W-R14).
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Replacing tmux as the session substrate (tmux remains the transport; web is a view).
+- Cross-host federation of the dashboard (rides the existing federation workstream later, per upstream note "Phase 5 rides federation").
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- ASSUMPTION: pty bridging terminates at the gateway on the fleet host (web1), not in `apps/web`; Next.js only speaks WebSocket to the gateway.
+- ASSUMPTION: the jarvis-brain dashboard's node-pty/xterm work (`dashboard/server/terminal.ts`) serves as reference implementation only; code is not ported wholesale into the multi-tenant product without the authz layer above.

+# Mosaic Platform PRD — Jarvis HMI + Hermes Decommission (DRAFT for ratification)
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-09 · **Author:** proto-Jarvis session with Jason · **Status:** Decisions D1–D12 **ratified** (fixed inputs); implementing PRD structure **DRAFT** — refined 2026-07-09 post-review, then stress-tested by a 9-persona × 2-round debate panel the same day; all 24 panel findings dispositioned and folded (see `DEBATE-FINDINGS.md`; one item **OPEN — Jason**: gate superstructure, §3.1)
+**Target home:** `mosaicstack/stack` → `docs/fleet/` (NORTH_STAR.yaml additions + per-phase PRDs)
+
+> **For the homelab orchestrator:** D1–D12 below are settled constraints, not open questions — do not reopen them. What is under review is only the _implementation_ (workstreams, goals, sequencing) that realizes them.
+> **Execution:** hand to the **homelab orchestrator** as orchestrated missions once ratified (D12). Land in `docs/fleet/` from `origin/main` — the `/src/mosaic-stack` clone on web1 is 5 months stale and must not be the base. The USC/web1 environment is out of scope for the trial; its cutover (workstream X applied to web1's Hermes + mos-claude) is a post-trial phase.

+
+Workstreams **M** (M1 enhanced memory subsystem) and **L** (L1 restore MALS · L2 Mosaic-native log ingestion · L3 anonymous agentic telemetry, NS-14) carry no standalone PRD doc: M1's scope is defined by its consumers (X-R7 retrieval eval, J memory rules) and L's by the MALS lineage (`~/src/mals`, infrastructure #135); both live as goal cards in the YAML.
+
+Workstream K (Matrix connector + mautrix bridges) intentionally has no new PRD doc: it extends the existing `docs/fleet/f4-matrix-connector.md`; its deltas are captured as K-goals in the YAML additions and referenced from the J/P/X PRDs.
+
+## Relationship to existing upstream work
+
+- Fleet CLI, persona library, system-type profiles (H1–H4), supervisor/dispatch (B), native backlog (A): **already exist or in flight upstream — not re-specified here.**
+- `f4-matrix-connector.md`: K1 = its Phase 2 implementation (verified present on `origin/main`; Phase 1 already ships the **tmux-default connector** that serves the P1 CLI channel per J-R14a). K2 (mautrix bridges) is additive infra.
+- F6 (webUI hooks) in `PRD-fleet-suite.md`: realized by workstream W (verified present on `origin/main`).
+- `docs/3-architecture/guard-rails-capability-permissions.md`: original design snapshot for workstream P — **not present on `origin/main`** (lives only in the stale `/src/mosaic-stack` clone). Its essential model is therefore folded into `PRD-permission-relay.md`, which is now the **self-contained authoritative spec** for P; the old path is cited as historical origin only.
+
+## Gate Zero — pre-ratification checklist (debate P0 #3/#4, §3.7)
+
+Ratification does not proceed on presumption. Before D-level sign-off, run and record:
+
+1. **Upstream-artifact audit.** Every artifact this PRD load-bears on is verified `present @ <SHA>` on `origin/main` or marked **MISSING → goal card**. Presumed-missing rows already carded by this draft: **M1** (enhanced memory subsystem — nothing on main provides vector DB + memory service today), **J6** (event/wake router), **K3** (Matrix push pipeline + homeserver ops). If an audit finds one of these actually exists, retire the card and pin the SHA; if it finds _another_ gap, card it — no silent presumption in either direction.
+2. **Hermes traffic audit** (§3.7): per-platform bridge traffic + per-MCP-tool call counts over a trailing window. Platforms with live traffic become the must-have K2 subset gating X3; zero-traffic platforms become post-trial nice-to-haves. Feeds the X-R1 parity checklist and its low-n drill list.
+3. **Sandbox dispatch-test** of the DAG: load `north-star-additions.yaml` into a sandbox backlog and verify the dispatcher's actual claim order respects every `depends_on` edge (phases are documentation; edges are law).
+
+## Process rules adopted from the debate pass (normative for this PRD's execution)
+
+- **Conflict register:** a discovered contradiction between spec documents **blocks the affected requirement** (not the whole mission) until a register entry records the resolution. "Alert, don't auto-resolve" is promoted from data conflicts to spec conflicts. A CI lint greps for register references in amended docs.
+- **DoD line on every goal card:** each card states its definition-of-done additions — runbook updated, health-floor alert registered, AGENTS.md touched — so operational debt can't silently accrue card-by-card.
+- **Silent-roster rule:** in any panel/review round, a member's silence records their open findings as **open items, never consensus** (instance: Codex's unanswered principal-resolution and policy-evaluation-time findings were folded as P-R16/P-R17, explicitly not consensus-resolved).
+- **Immutable spec + typed amendments** (J-R20) applies to these PRD docs themselves post-ratification: changes arrive as amendments with a revision counter, and sign-offs pin the revision.

+      Every Mosaic workspace runs exactly one always-on HMI main agent (default
+      alias "Jarvis", unit mosaic-agent@main) that owns all human conversation
+      and user-level personal-assistant work (ideas, schedule, email, tasks,
+      knowledge) and delegates engineering/research/ops missions to the
+      orchestrator as Mosaic Backlog cards. It is a Level-0 orchestrator:
+      it accomplishes work through delegation and subagents, never by executing
+      coding/infra tasks itself, and it runs on model capacity separate from the
+      orchestrator so its conversational latency is isolated from fleet load. The
+      main agent never executes fleet work itself and never interrupts the
+      orchestrator for status. Exactly-one-per-workspace is enforced by a
+      workspace lease (J-R16), not by convention.

+# Issue #561 — Bare python on agent hosts
+
+## Objective
+
+Make the durable bootstrap/provisioning guidance ensure agent hosts provide a bare `python` command that resolves to Python 3.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Add Debian/Ubuntu `python-is-python3` to agent-host prerequisites in bootstrap docs.
+- Check for actual OS package provisioning scripts and update only if an existing agent-host package install path exists.
+- Do not touch live host state.
+- Do not update `docs/TASKS.md`; repo guidance says workers read it but never modify it.
+
+## Recon
+
+- Issue #561 confirms repeated `python: command not found` failures from fleet agents that emit `python foo.py`.
+- `guides/BOOTSTRAP.md` and `packages/mosaic/framework/guides/BOOTSTRAP.md` are the source and packaged framework copies of the bootstrap guide.
+- Targeted repo sweep found no agent-host Debian package provisioning script. Existing `apt-get install` hits are CI/test helper paths or unrelated deployment docs.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Add a host prerequisite section to both bootstrap guide copies.
+2. Include `python-is-python3` in the Debian/Ubuntu package list with an issue comment.
+3. Note the non-Debian equivalent as a `/usr/bin/python -> python3` symlink.
+4. Validate markdown/diff, run shell syntax checks where applicable, run required review, commit, queue guard, and push.
+
+## Validation Log
+
+- `rg` recon: no existing agent-host Debian package provisioning script; only CI/test helper `apt-get install` paths and unrelated deployment docs.
+- `git diff --check`: passed.
+- `bash -n packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh tools/install.sh packages/mosaic/framework/tools/bootstrap/init-project.sh packages/mosaic/framework/tools/_scripts/mosaic-bootstrap-repo`: passed. No touched shell scripts.

-# B1 / @next Durable Publish Pipeline — Design
-
-## Objective
-
-Make `next` a durable integration line that publishes the artifacts required by downstream federation boot tests without manual builds.
-
-Every merge to `next` publishes:
-
-1. **npm prerelease packages** to the Gitea npm registry with dist-tag `next`.
-2. **Gateway container image** tagged only as `gateway:sha-<short>`.
-
-The existing stable release behavior remains isolated to `main` / tags.
-
-## Registry verification
-
-Target registry: `https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/`.
-
-Pre-implementation checks:
-
-- `npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic dist-tags --registry https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/ --json` returned a dist-tags object (`latest: 0.0.48`).
-- `npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic@latest version --registry https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/` resolved `0.0.48`.
-- `@next` currently returns 404 because no `next` dist-tag exists yet; this is expected before the first next prerelease publish.
-
-Pipeline design includes a post-publish verification that `npm view @mosaicstack/mosaic@next version` resolves to the exact CI-computed prerelease version. If Gitea fails to honor the `next` dist-tag, the pipeline fails closed.
-
-## Version scheme
-
-The prerelease version is computed at publish time only; no `package.json` version changes are committed.
-
-For each non-private `@mosaicstack/*` package:
-
-```text
-<target-stable>-next.<CI_PIPELINE_NUMBER>
-```
-
-Where:
-
-- `CI_PIPELINE_NUMBER` is Woodpecker's monotonic pipeline number.
-- `target-stable` is the package's current committed stable version with the patch component incremented.
-  - Example: `@mosaicstack/mosaic` `0.0.48` publishes as `0.0.49-next.1626`.
-  - Example: `@mosaicstack/gateway` `0.0.6` publishes as `0.0.7-next.1626`.
-
-Rationale:
-
-- npm semver sorts `0.0.49-next.1627` above `0.0.49-next.1626`.
-- The prerelease does not overtake the future stable `0.0.49`.
-- The monotonic pipeline number avoids conflicts across repeated `next` merges.
-
-## Branch and tag guardrails
-
-| Pipeline path         | Branch/event                   | Publishes                                               | Forbidden              |
-| --------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
-| stable npm publish    | `main` push/manual or tag      | package versions already committed in package manifests | `@next` dist-tag       |
-| next npm publish      | `next` push/manual only        | CI-computed prereleases with `--tag next`               | `latest` dist-tag      |
-| gateway image         | `main` push/manual or tag      | `sha-<short>` + `latest` on main + tag on tag events    | next prerelease npm    |
-| gateway image         | `next` push/manual only        | `sha-<short>` only                                      | `latest`               |
-| appservice/web images | `main` push/manual or tag only | existing stable image behavior                          | next image publication |
-
-The pipeline has explicit branch checks inside the publish commands as a second fail-closed layer beyond Woodpecker `when` clauses.
-
-## Implementation plan
-
-1. Widen `.woodpecker/publish.yml` top-level `when` to include `next` so the publish pipeline runs on next merges.
-2. Keep existing `publish-npm` on `main` / tags only.
-3. Add `publish-next-npm` for `next` push/manual only:
-   - configure Gitea npm auth from existing `gitea_token` secret as `NPM_TOKEN`;
-   - preflight registry dist-tag metadata;
-   - compute prerelease versions in CI by temporarily editing package manifests in the workspace;
-   - run `pnpm publish ... --tag next` against non-private `@mosaicstack/*` packages;
-   - verify `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next` resolves to the computed version.
-4. Split image `when` anchors:
-   - `image_build_when` includes `next` and is used by `build-gateway`;
-   - `main_image_build_when` keeps appservice/web on main/tags only.
-5. Keep gateway next image destinations to `sha-<short>` only; no `latest` on next.
-
-## Risk controls
-
-- Auth/registry failures are fatal.
-- No manual image build/push path is introduced.
-- No production `latest` tags are touched from `next`.
-- No `@latest` npm dist-tags are touched from `next`.
-- All changes live in CI config and docs; no runtime source behavior changes.

-Skills sync script not found at ~/.config/mosaic/bin/mosaic-sync-skills
-Skills: install failed

-## Diagnosis

-
-```text
-~/.config/mosaic/tools/_scripts/
-```
-
-`packages/mosaic/src/stages/finalize.ts` still resolved wizard helper scripts from `mosaicHome/bin`, so wizard-selected skills failed even though `mosaic-sync-skills` was present in the current framework layout.
-
-## Fix
-
-- Resolve framework helper scripts through `tools/_scripts/<name>` first.
-- Keep a legacy `bin/<name>` fallback for pre-migration installs.
-- Point missing-script warnings at the current `tools/_scripts` layout.
-- Update the finalize skills test fixture to model the fresh framework layout.
-- Update framework README examples from legacy `bin/` helper paths to `tools/_scripts/`.

-## Verification
-
-- Unit: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- finalize-skills`

-- Fresh path: ran `packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh` with a temp `MOSAIC_HOME` and `MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY=1`; verified `tools/_scripts/mosaic-sync-skills` exists, legacy `bin/mosaic-sync-skills` does not, and the script installs a selected fake `lint` skill into Mosaic + Pi runtime skill directories.

-# B3 — Wizard completion ordering
-
-## Problem
-
-The wizard printed the success summary / `Mosaic is ready.` during `finalizeStage`, before the gateway configuration stage had completed its daemon health check. If the gateway health gate later failed, the user could see a success claim followed by a gateway failure.
-
-## Diagnosis
-
-`finalizeStage` handled both mutation work and terminal success messaging. Wizard paths then ran `gatewayConfigStage` and `gatewayBootstrapStage` afterward:
-
-1. finalize writes config, links runtime assets, syncs skills, runs doctor;
-2. finalize prints `Installation Summary` + `Mosaic is ready.`;
-3. gateway config starts/waits for daemon health;
-4. gateway bootstrap runs.
-
-The summary needed to be deferred until after the gateway readiness gates.
-
-## Fix
-
-- `finalizeStage` now returns a `showSummary()` callback and supports `deferSummary`.
-- Wizard/quick-start paths call finalize with `deferSummary: true`.
-- `showSummary()` is called only after gateway config reports ready and bootstrap completes, or immediately when the caller explicitly skips gateway setup.
-- If gateway health/config reports not ready, the wizard returns/aborts without printing the success summary.
-- Folded in adjacent runtime install hint fix for Pi: `curl -fsSL https://pi.dev/install.sh | sh`.
-
-## Verification
-
-- Added unified-wizard coverage for summary-after-health and no-summary-on-health-failure.

-# B4 — Wizard step deduplication
-
-## Problem
-
-Greenfield wizard testing showed completed wizard steps could be executed again after the menu marked them `[done]`. In practice this made the Providers/API-key flow and Skills flow appear twice in one wizard run.
-
-There was a second related API-key duplication path: when the Providers step was completed with no key, `gatewayConfigStage` still prompted for `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` during Finish because it only skipped the gateway API-key prompt when `providerKey` was non-empty.
-
-## Diagnosis
-
-- `runMenuLoop` labeled completed sections with `[done]`, but still dispatched the selected step again if the user selected that row.
-- Quick Start ran Providers and Skills but did not mark those sections complete in `completedSections`.
-- `runFinishPath`/`quickStartPath` defaulted `providerType` to `none` for gateway config, which made it impossible for `gatewayConfigStage` to distinguish:
-  - provider step completed and user intentionally skipped the key, vs.
-  - provider step was never run.
-
-## Fix
-
-- Added a shared menu section key helper and a completed-step guard in `runMenuLoop`.
-- Completed menu steps now log a skip message instead of re-running their stage.
-- Quick Start marks Providers and Skills complete after running them.
-- Finish/Quick Start now pass `state.providerType` as-is to gateway config instead of defaulting to `none`.
-- `gatewayConfigStage` treats `providerType: 'none'` as an explicit completed provider setup with no key and skips the second gateway API-key prompt.
-
-## Verification
-
-- Added unified wizard regression coverage asserting repeated Providers/Skills menu selections only execute each stage once.
-- Added gateway config coverage asserting `providerType: 'none'` does not prompt for a gateway API key and writes no API key env var.
-- Targeted: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- unified-wizard gateway-config`
-- `pnpm format:check`
-- `pnpm typecheck`

-- PR base when unblocked: `next`

-- Gated by `FEDERATED_INTEGRATION=1`.
-- No federation harness dependency.
-
-## Fixture notes
-
-Aligned with the B2 seed design vocabulary:
-
-- `tasks` visibility uses personal `projects` + `missions` chain.
-- `notes` are `mission_tasks.notes`; the integration suite asserts subject-only note visibility on an authorized mission.
-- Seed includes a second user and unauthorized team/project tasks to prove exclusion from the max-row-cap list result.
-- Grants/peers are direct DB fixtures; cert auth still runs through `FederationAuthGuard` using real X.509 certs generated by existing test helpers.
-
-## Current implementation
-
-Added `apps/gateway/src/__tests__/integration/federation-m3-list.integration.test.ts` covering:
-
-1. M3 #6 — cert missing Mosaic OIDs returns 401 federation `unauthorized` envelope.
-2. M3 #6 — valid cert whose grant row is `revoked` returns 403 federation `forbidden` envelope.
-3. M3 #7 — active grant with `max_rows_per_query: 2` caps `list tasks`, returns `_truncated` + `nextCursor`, source-tags rows, and excludes other-user / unauthorized-team tasks.
-4. Cross-user notes invariant — subject can list their own `mission_tasks.notes` row while another user's note on the same authorized mission is excluded.
-5. Unsupported-resource invariant — `list widgets` fails closed with a federation `scope_violation` envelope.

-# Installer `--next` fast npm lane — 2026-06-25
-
-## Scope
-
-Flip `tools/install.sh --next` from source-build-first to fast npm `@next` first, with source fallback.
-
-## Registry reality check
-
-Gitea npm registry: `https://git.mosaicstack.dev/api/packages/mosaicstack/npm/`
-
-Verified before implementation:
-
-- `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next` resolves to `0.0.49-next.1633`.
-- `@mosaicstack/gateway@next` resolves to `0.0.7-next.1633`.
-- `@mosaicstack/gateway` dist-tags include `latest: 0.0.6` and `next: 0.0.7-next.1633`.
-- `apps/gateway/package.json` is non-private and has Gitea npm `publishConfig`.
-
-Conclusion: the installer can fast-install both CLI and gateway npm packages for `--next`. The gateway Docker `gateway:sha-<short>` remains the deployment/harness artifact; the npm gateway package is valid for the installer global package path.
-
-## Behavior
-
-- `--next` with no explicit ref:
-  1. framework archive from `next`;
-  2. resolve `@mosaicstack/gateway@next` and `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next`;
-  3. require both resolved versions to share the same `next.<pipeline>` suffix;
-  4. install the exact resolved package versions;
-  5. set `MOSAIC_GATEWAY_SKIP_NPM_INSTALL=1` so wizard does not overwrite the prerelease gateway;
-  6. if either package is missing/unreachable/mismatched/fails, fall back to existing source build at `next`.
-- `--dev` remains pure source build.
-- explicit `--ref` / `MOSAIC_REF` still wins over `--next` and uses the source path for that exact ref.
-
-## Install detail
-
-The installer writes the scoped npmrc mapping (`@mosaicstack:registry=...`) and then runs npm install without overriding npm's default registry. Passing `--registry=<gitea>` to `npm install` forces public transitive dependencies (for example `@anthropic-ai/sdk`) to resolve from Gitea and breaks the fast path; the scoped npmrc mapping is the correct split-registry behavior.
-
-## Verification notes
-
-- Added `tools/install-next-lane.test.sh` with a fake npm/source harness for exact-version fast install, registry failure source fallback, explicit-ref precedence, and mismatched suffix warning.
-- Wired the installer harness into `pnpm test` via `pnpm run test:installer`.
-- Real temp-prefix fast install succeeded with `@mosaicstack/gateway@0.0.7-next.1633` and `@mosaicstack/mosaic@0.0.49-next.1633`.

+## Agent Host Prerequisites
+
+Agent hosts must provide the Python runtime shape that runtime agents and
+Mosaic automation assume is present.
+
+For Debian/Ubuntu hosts:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+# #561: bare python invocations from agents must resolve.
+sudo apt-get install -y python3 python-is-python3
+```
+
+For non-Debian hosts, install the equivalent Python 3 runtime and ensure
+`/usr/bin/python` resolves to `python3` (for example, via a managed symlink).
