docs: roles design review fixes (#1873)

Route merge, policy, hire, fire and credential decisions to the human and
keep merge and policy cross-role only. A person-started hire is a decision
record. Restructure the usability table by who acts, list template roles
explicitly, add the arbiter threat row and slice tests.

+### Host trust boundary
+
+The host is the trust boundary. The instance uid can read and write the
+instance's config, data root, bus files and credentials. That makes the uid
+equivalent to root for this instance, though not root on the host. A CLI
+token cannot protect the instance from someone who already has that uid:
+they can read the token file, the bus database and every key, or change the
+files directly. A token could help a remote admin CLI that has no host
+access. That is a possible later feature, not part of Phase M.
+
+Phase M narrows who is assigned the instance uid. In the current managed
+host setup, both Case 1 and Case 2 use `mosaic`: the host run sheet creates
+it as a system account with a non-login shell and no supplementary groups
+or sudo rule (`docs/guides/host-run-sheet.md:19-26`). Case 1 acceptance
+checks that the Console and bus run as the configured `--user`
+(`scripts/case1-accept.sh:102-116,457-469`). Case 2's unit renderer uses
+its `--user` for both services (`scripts/case2-unit.sh:136-145,514`); the
+host setup runs that path as `mosaic`
+(`docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md:1197-1200`). These are today's
+configured identities, not an installer guarantee: `case2-unit.sh` accepts
+any existing non-root user with a matching home. The run sheet, rather than
+the renderer, selects the dedicated account.
+
+There is also a separate Console path. `webui-service.sh` installs a
+systemd user unit, then asks the operator to start it with
+`systemctl --user` (`scripts/webui-service.sh:1-7,19,413-418`). That Console
+runs as the account whose user manager starts it, not as the managed
+`mosaic` service account. It is a single-user development path, not a safe
+accounts-mode deployment path. M3 follow-up 1 is to refuse a deployed or
+accounts-mode Console service through this user-unit path.
+
+The stack's own managed agent sessions run as the instance uid inside a
+bubblewrap sandbox, not in containers (`scripts/case1-accept.sh:480-496`,
+`docs/plans/2026-10-20_case2-rows.md:1031-1034,1197-1199`). The sandbox
+limits their filesystem view. A sandbox escape has the same authority as
+holding the instance uid. This is different from a development agent seat:
+Phase M requires the instance uid to differ from every human login and
+development seat uid. A non-login shell prevents direct login, but root or a
+human with sudo or equivalent authority can still act as `mosaic`.
+
+M2's accounts loader refuses a file with the wrong uid or group or other
+write permission. M2 does not currently specify the config-directory owner
+check for `mosaic accounts` or an OS-uid receipt. M3 pins both as integration
+expectations. The recorded uid identifies the process, not
+necessarily the person who invoked it. The receipt is writable by the
+instance uid and is not tamper-evident against that uid. Stamped builds and
+`.deployed` also refuse dev flags in M3.
+
+The residual risk is accepted: host root, or the instance uid, owns the
+instance. Accounts protect users from one another through the Console and
+bus. They do not protect an instance from its host owner.

+Date: 2026-11-10. Lane org-roles-design, issue #1873. Status: proposed, doc
+only. Nothing here changes `AGENTS.md`, `roles/`, `contracts/`, rights policy
+or code. The slices in section 12 that touch role or rights policy land only
+with Jason's approval.
+
+Read with `docs/plans/2026-11-10_agent-levels-design.md` (levels, isolation,
+Phase A) and `docs/plans/2026-11-10_accounts-design.md` (rights, host trust
+boundary). This design replaces agent-levels section 7 and the A1 roles patch,
+which widened the chief's `hireable` list. That patch is withdrawn and nothing
+here extends it.
+
+Line numbers are against `origin/refactor` at `50be33355`.
+
+## 1. Rulings
+
+Jason, 2026-11-10:
+
+1. Who hires: the chief asks, a human approves. A hire is a decision, not a direct write.
+2. Which roles, verbatim: "Chief should be capable of hiring ANY role with any capacity. This will include custom roles invented by the user and the chief at any time."
+3. No cap on the number of hires.
+4. Timing: lands with A4.
+5. Templates, verbatim: "Mosaic Stack should ship role templates for the most common roles. These stay within the system as templates. Chief and user have the capability to import the roles from template and customize them as needed. New roles outside of the supplied templates must follow a set of rules from within the system to prevent an absolute destruction of the system's workings. We need a set of primitives available to the agent roles to allow for adherence. A new role constructed by chief and the user must plugin and follow the rules with the RBAC and other tools available. The agent will have an arbitrary set of tools specified by chief and/or the user. The agent will also have a personality and other traits specified by the user. The system must remain unopinionated upon the opinionated basal code provided. We provide the operational rails and allow an open system to build upon it."
+6. Ceiling: the approval is the ceiling. A hire may carry grants above the chief's own, but the decision lists those grants separately and flags them.
+7. Approver: a new grantable right `org.hire` (owner yes, member no) in the M1 rights table.
+8. Only the chief raises hires. No hire chains: a hired agent cannot hire.
+9. Rails, summarized (full text in the lead tracker; ask nothing, design from this): a base of inalienable rails the system needs to function, with everything else customizable on top. The smallest working system is user, assistant and chief; the chief staffs the rest from the user's plan. Start with the fewest agents, add agents as roles are needed, and keep configurations apart with organizations and projects. Full extensibility: modules and plugins, preconfigured systems for any use (software factory, writing workshop, video production, business, home, health), installed from GitHub, a zip or another source, and maybe a marketplace later. Flexibility comes from a set of primitives controlled by routing, agent configuration and plugins. Jason: "The Venn diagram for usability and security/rails needs to be understood."
+10. Credentials: the hire decision lists each credential and scope the agent needs; approving the decision binds them.
+11. Template updates: an imported role is a frozen copy. When the shipped template changes, the system offers a diff; it never changes the copy by itself.
+12. Personality: the chief may draft personality and traits inside the hire decision. After the hire only a human changes them.
+
+Also binding, Jason 2026-11-07: the system is modules joined by documented
+calls. Swapping or disabling one must not break core, and adding one must not
+need a core rewrite (`docs/plans/2026-11-07_organizations-owner-rulings.md:43-47`).
+
+## 2. Today
+
+- A role is `roles/<name>.json` plus its `.md` contract. Version 2 allows
+  only known keys, so an unknown field such as `personality` refuses
+  (`packages/organization/src/role.mjs:21,190`). Tools come from one closed
+  core list (`role.mjs:24-29`, `packages/organization/src/vocabulary.mjs:142`).
+  Actions come from `ACTIONS` (`vocabulary.mjs:11-65`); an unknown one
+  refuses, and so does one outside `ROUTED`, because those are hard waits the
+  human always decides (`role.mjs:42-43`, `vocabulary.mjs:109`).
+- The chief hires by writing directly. `instance.hire` checks that the caller
+  is the instance named in `launch.by` (`packages/bus/src/broker.mjs:6193`)
+  and holds `role.hire`, refuses kept names (`broker.mjs:6200`), then runs
+  `#hireable` (`broker.mjs:6291-6306`). That needs a version 2 definition whose
+  every action is on `HIRE_ALLOWED` (`vocabulary.mjs:114-121`, checked by
+  `unhireableAction` at `vocabulary.mjs:127`), named in the chief's own
+  `hireable` list, and not in `launch.noHire`.
+- The shipped chief's list is empty (`roles/chief-of-staff.json:13`), so the
+  chief can hire nothing today. Its contract says so
+  (`roles/chief-of-staff.md:17`).
+- Creative definitions are human-only. The writer refuses them for the chief
+  (`packages/organization/src/instance-settings.mjs:365-367`) and the role
+  check refuses them in a `hireable` list (`role.mjs:86-97`).
+- A hire writes `roles[name] = { definition, vars? }` and appends the name to
+  `launch.instances` (`instance-settings.mjs:354-391`). Its vars may set only
+  `model` and `limits.*` (`broker.mjs:216-221`). So `launch` refuses the new
+  instance with `no-route` until a human sets harness, model and thinking
+  (`packages/harness/src/bundle.mjs:96`, `roles/chief-of-staff.md:53-58`).
+- Fire revokes the instance's service credentials and delists it
+  (`instance-settings.mjs:396-414`).
+- Rights for people are a separate table: `RIGHTS`, the `ROLE_RIGHTS`
+  bundles and `canGrant` (`packages/organization/src/org-rights.mjs:6-17,21-26,122-129`).
+  It has no hire right yet.
+
+## 3. The rails
+
+A rail is a rule no role, template, plugin, approval or setting can change
+while the system runs. Only a reviewed commit changes one. Each row says where
+the code enforces it today and which slice closes the gap.
+
+| # | Rail | Enforced today | Gap, and the slice that closes it |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| R1 | Secrets never enter the repository, images, role files, decision text or the trail. A credential reaches an agent only through a human-approved binding, scoped and revocable. | Message and record bodies pass `credentials.assertClean` (`packages/bus/src/runtime.mjs:833`, `broker.mjs:840,1313,2081`). Credential verbs are human-only (`broker.mjs:6144`). `credential.mint` decisions route to the human (`broker.mjs:2266-2268,2368`). Fire revokes (`instance-settings.mjs:396`). | Role definitions, personality text and hire decisions are not scanned. P1 runs the same check on every string in a composition and a hire decision. |
+| R2 | The trail and run records are write-once. | `events` and `decision_events` refuse update, delete and replace (`packages/bus/src/migrations/3b.sql:131-132,137-138,144,147`). | None. Hire, deny, expiry and binding entries use the same tables (A4). |
+| R3 | Fail closed: an unknown action, tool, right, plugin kind or role field refuses. | Role keys, actions and tools (`role.mjs:190,42,24-29`). Rights (`org-rights.mjs:122-129`). Plugin kinds (`packages/plugins/src/kinds.mjs:147-148`). | Inline roles and plugin-declared tools and actions have no check yet. P1 and PL1. |
+| R4 | Hard waits stay with the human. A role can never hold an action outside `ROUTED`. | `vocabulary.mjs:109`, `role.mjs:43`. This covers `git.push.protected`, `git.push.remote`, `host.sudo`, `credential.mint`, `spend`, `deploy` and `data.delete` (`vocabulary.mjs:22,26,29,49,50,51,55`). | Added: the brief's list did not name it, and "any capacity" must not dissolve it. P1 keeps it for every composition. |
+| R5 | Human-only acts: approving a hire, fire or role change (`org.hire`), binding a credential, changing personality after hire, installing or enabling a plugin, changing a rail, and resolving a merge or policy decision. No agent approves its own request, and no agent approves a request that changes authority. | No agent resolves its own arbitrated raise: it goes to the human (`broker.mjs:7075`). Plugin enabling needs a human session (`broker.mjs:6008`). Hard waits always go to the human (R4). | Corrected. The brief's "no agent approves another agent's request" is false today. A cross-role raise goes to the domain arbiter, the chief by default, and an agent of that role resolves it (`broker.mjs:7074,7212-7215`, `packages/organization/src/org-template.json:5`). PRD 1.5 REQ-DEC-2 put `git.merge.protected` and `policy.change` on that path (`vocabulary.mjs:69-70,83,93`), and merge-gate holds merge cross-role (`roles/merge-gate.json:10`, `broker.mjs:5198-5201`). This design keeps agent arbitration only for one-off routed work that grants no lasting authority: task, review, record and message actions. A4 routes every decision whose action is `role.hire`, `role.fire`, `credential.mint`, `git.merge.protected` or `policy.change` to the human, whatever its class. That reverses part of REQ-DEC-2, so it needs Jason's approval. The dev tester may enable some plugin kinds (`broker.mjs:6013`); that stays dev-only. Personality has no field yet (T1). |
+| R6 | Every agent runs sandboxed as the instance uid, with only the tools its role names. A tool exists only if core or an installed, enabled plugin declares it. | bwrap with user, pid and ipc namespaces and a read-only root (`packages/seat/src/sandbox.mjs:76,176`). Tools are a closed core list (`vocabulary.mjs:142`) and the typed bus tools are fixed in core (`packages/harness/src/tools.mjs:96`). | Corrected: no plugin declares a tool today. PL1 adds plugin-declared tools. A sandbox escape holds the instance uid, which equals root for the instance (accounts design, "Host trust boundary"). |
+| R7 | Organizations are isolated. Cross-organization reads go only through the assistant's Console read broker. | Each organization has its own bus and every non-assistant agent's scope is one organization (agent-levels design section 4). | The read broker is not built. It is A6. Until then nothing reads across organizations. |
+| R8 | No grant beyond the granter, except through a flagged line in a human-approved decision. | People: `canGrant` subset (`org-rights.mjs:122-129`). Agents: a hire is bounded by `HIRE_ALLOWED` and the chief's list (`broker.mjs:6303-6305`). | A4 replaces that bound with the approval itself. The broker computes the flagged lines; the chief cannot omit them. |
+| R9 | No hire chains. Only the chief raises hires, and a hired agent cannot hire. | `role-not-chief` (`broker.mjs:6193`). `role.hire` is not on `HIRE_ALLOWED` (`vocabulary.mjs:114-121`). | Added from ruling 8. P1 refuses `role.hire` and `role.fire` in any hired composition, so the rail survives `HIRE_ALLOWED` going away. |
+| R10 | Plugin code runs with the host's authority, so installing one is an instance-level human act. | The loader reads only its own tree and takes no path from config (`packages/plugins/src/loader.mjs:1-5`). | Added: the loader says a module "runs with the host's authority" (`loader.mjs:5`). Install from GitHub or a zip has to keep that visible. No hash pin exists. PL1. |
+| R11 | System config is written only by bootstrap. | `scripts/bootstrap.sh:5`, AGENTS.md invariant 2. | None. Nothing in this design writes system config. |
+
+Dropped: none. Two items changed meaning. R5 now says "no agent approves its
+own request" and lists what always goes to a human, because the code routes
+cross-role work to an agent arbiter by design. R6 now says "core or a plugin"
+declares a tool, because core declares all of them today.
+
+## 4. The primitives
+
+A role is a composition of these parts and nothing else.
+
+**Core set.** Shipped in `vocabulary.mjs`, versioned, changed only by reviewed
+commit:
+
+- `tools`: core built-ins and `web` (`vocabulary.mjs:142`).
+- `network`: one of `NETWORKS`.
+- `authority.withinRole` and `authority.crossRole`: actions from `ROUTED`
+  (`vocabulary.mjs:73-102`).
+- `credentials`: a known service with grantable scopes. Gitea `admin` and
+  `all` are never granted (`GITEA_SCOPE_CATEGORIES`).
+- `messaging.sendTo` and `messaging.receiveFrom`.
+- `skills`.
+- `instructions`: the contract text, today the `.md` file.
+- `personality`: new. Bounded text fields (summary, traits, voice), no
+  authority. Ruling 5 and ruling 12.
+
+**Plugin-declared set.** From an enabled plugin's manifest (section 7):
+tools, actions and credential services. A plugin action is always routed. A
+plugin cannot declare a hard wait, cannot reuse a core name, and every name
+carries the plugin's prefix (`<plugin>.<name>`).
+
+**The validator.** P1 adds `checkComposition(role, registry, chief)`. It
+replaces `HIRE_ALLOWED` and `unhireableAction` at hire time. It:
+
+1. refuses any unknown key, as `role.mjs:190` does;
+2. refuses any action, tool, network, service or scope the registry lacks,
+   where the registry is the core set plus the plugins enabled in that
+   organization;
+3. refuses any action outside `ROUTED` or a plugin's routed set (R4);
+4. refuses `role.hire` and `role.fire` (R9);
+5. allows `git.merge.protected` and `policy.change` only in `crossRole`, so
+   each use is its own decision that a human resolves (R5);
+6. refuses any string that fails `assertClean` (R1), and any field over its
+   length bound;
+7. returns the flagged lines: every action, tool, network, credential scope
+   and messaging target the chief's own resolved role does not hold (R8).
+
+The validator accepts every composition that passes. There is no allowlist of
+roles and no list of hireable definitions.
+
+**What "any role with any capacity" means.** The chief can propose any name,
+any mix of registered tools and routed actions, any credential scope a service
+grants, any personality, any number of agents. A human approves each one.
+
+**What it cannot mean.** A hired agent cannot hold a hard wait, hire, approve
+a human decision, read another organization, name a tool nothing declares,
+carry a secret in its text, or run outside the sandbox. A new capability that
+needs new enforcement, for example a new kind of external write, needs a
+plugin that declares and enforces it. A name with no code behind it gives an
+agent nothing.
+
+## 5. Templates and organization roles
+
+**Templates.** The shipped files in `roles/` become templates. They stay
+there, versioned by reviewed commit. A template's identity is its name plus
+the sha256 of its JSON and contract together, so no new field goes into
+`roles/`. Plugins may ship templates too (section 7).
+
+**Organization roles.** An organization's own definitions live in its file
+under a new `definitions` key, one entry per name:
+
+```json
+"definitions": {
+  "release-writer": {
+    "rev": 3,
+    "from": { "template": "coder", "sha256": "<64 hex>" },
+    "role": { "tools": ["read", "edit"], "authority": { "withinRole": ["record.write"] } },
+    "instructions": "...",
+    "personality": { "summary": "...", "traits": ["..."], "voice": "..." }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+An instance names `definition: "org:release-writer"` instead of a template
+name. Project agents use the organization's definitions. Root agents keep
+their own `definitions` in `<configDir>/agents.json`.
+
+- **Import** copies a template into `definitions` with `from` set. The copy is
+  frozen: nothing changes it except an approved change.
+- **Customize** edits the copy. **Invent** writes a definition with no `from`.
+  Both pass `checkComposition` before they are written.
+- **Who writes.** A human holding `org.hire` drafts or edits a definition in
+  the Console. A draft no agent uses does nothing. A change to a definition a
+  hired agent uses takes effect only through a change decision (section 6).
+  The chief proposes a definition only inside a decision.
+- **Template changes.** When a template's current hash differs from a copy's
+  `from.sha256`, the Console shows a diff and offers apply or keep. Apply is a
+  change decision (section 6). Nothing applies by itself (ruling 11).
+- **Versioning.** `rev` counts up on every write. Every hire and change
+  decision records the definition's `rev` and hash.
+- **A running agent.** Its sandbox, tools and contract are fixed at launch
+  from the bundle. A change that narrows authority takes effect at the broker
+  on the next call. Anything else takes effect at the next launch, and the
+  Console shows the agent as running an older `rev`.
+- **Creative templates** are templates like the others. They still get no
+  host grant (`broker.mjs:2415`).
+
+## 6. Hire as a decision
+
+One decision action covers hire, fire and change, at every level.
+
+**Fields.** The chief supplies:
+
+| Field | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `op` | `hire`, `fire` or `change` |
+| `level` | `org`, `project` (with the project name) or `root` |
+| `name` | the agent's instance name, unused, not kept or retired |
+| `role` | `{ template, sha256 }`, `{ definition, rev }` or `{ inline }` |
+| `credentials` | each service and scope the agent needs |
+| `personality` | the chief's draft |
+| `route` | a proposed harness, model and thinking level |
+| `reason` | 1 to 500 characters |
+
+The broker adds, and the chief cannot set or edit:
+
+- `flagged`: the lines `checkComposition` returns above the chief's own role;
+- `credentialLines`: one line per service and scope;
+- `digest`: a hash over the whole decision, as the Console resolution path
+  already checks (`broker.mjs:7200-7204`);
+- `expiresAt`: seven days.
+
+**Raise.** Among agents, only the instance in `launch.by` may raise one, as
+today (`broker.mjs:6193`). The decision always routes to the human, whatever its
+class, so the arbiter path at `broker.mjs:7074` never applies. A hire needs no
+approval count and has no cap (ruling 3). Spend stays bounded by the
+organization's limits.
+
+**Approve.** A human whose membership in that organization holds `org.hire`
+approves in the Console, against the current digest. Two limits in the MVP:
+
+- a decision with any flagged line or any credential line needs the owner.
+  This mirrors `decide` stopping short of credential mints (accounts design,
+  section 3 "Rights"). A member with `org.hire` approves plain hires.
+- a root-level decision needs the instance owner, since the root file covers
+  every organization (agent-levels section 7).
+
+The human may change the route, narrow the role or drop credential lines
+before approving. Widening means a new decision.
+
+**What approval writes.** One writer call, with the human as actor and the
+decision id in the context:
+
+- org level: the organization writer, extended from `prepareHire`
+  (`instance-settings.mjs:354`). It writes the definition, the instance with
+  its route, and `launch.instances`;
+- project level: the A2 project-agent writer, behind the projects fence;
+- root level: the A2 root writer.
+
+Credential bindings then go through the existing human-only credential path
+(`broker.mjs:6144`). Until every binding succeeds, `launch` refuses the agent
+with `credential-unbound` and names the missing one, as A3 does for unbound
+copies. Because approval sets the route, launch no longer refuses `no-route`
+for an approved hire.
+
+**Deny, expire, withdraw.** Deny and expiry write nothing but the trail entry.
+The chief may withdraw its own decision (`broker.mjs:7205-7211`).
+
+**Fire and change** are the same decision with `op` set. Fire revokes and
+delists as today (`instance-settings.mjs:396`).
+
+**A person starting a hire.** A human holding `org.hire` may start a hire,
+fire or change in the Console. It is still a decision, with the same fields,
+broker-computed lines, digest and trail, raised and resolved in one step by
+that person. Flagged and credential lines still need the owner. I read ruling
+8 as limiting which agent raises hires, not as stopping a person from hiring.
+
+**Trail.** Raise, each resolution, the writer receipt and each binding are
+events in the write-once tables (R2).
+
+**What this replaces.** The direct `instance.hire` and `instance.fire` paths
+(`broker.mjs:6185-6280`) and the `hireable` check (`broker.mjs:6291-6306`) go
+away. The chief's `hire` tool (`packages/harness/src/tools.mjs:225-226`)
+raises the decision instead of writing. Agent-levels section 7 had three
+paths, one per level. Now there is one decision with a `level` field, so A4
+and A5 become one slice, with the root level waiting for A2's root writer.
+
+## 7. Plugins and modules
+
+**Today.** Plugin kinds are a closed core list (`kinds.mjs:4-5,22-105`). The
+loader reads only `packages/plugins/<kind>/<name>/index.mjs` in its own tree,
+checks symlinks, exports and interface version, and pins no hash
+(`loader.mjs:1-5,41-72`). A refused module keeps the kind's last good set
+(`loader.mjs:7-9`). Enabling is `plugins.set` under `org.setup`
+(`org-rights.mjs:74`), owner-only.
+
+**Manifest.** Each plugin gets a `plugin.json`: name, version, kinds,
+interface versions, a sha256 over its files, and what it declares: tools
+(name, description, argument schema, whether it runs in the sandbox or on the
+host), routed actions, credential services, and role templates.
+
+**Install.** Sources are a GitHub URL at a commit, a zip, or a local
+directory. The instance owner installs at the host with the expected hash.
+The install refuses a hash mismatch, a core name, a hard-wait action or an
+unknown kind. Installed plugins live read-only in an instance-level plugin
+root, listed with their hashes in a lock file. That reads a path outside the
+loader's own tree, which changes lead decision 143 (`loader.mjs:3-5`). Jason
+decides that in PL1.
+
+**Pin and load.** Every load checks the hash in the lock file. A mismatch
+refuses the plugin and logs it. The loader's existing refusal handling keeps
+core running.
+
+**Enable.** Per organization, by the owner, through `plugins.set`. Install is
+instance-wide because the code runs as the instance uid for every
+organization (R10).
+
+**A disabled or missing plugin.** Core keeps running. An agent whose role
+names the plugin's tools or actions refuses at launch with
+`plugin-disabled` and the plugin's name. A running agent's calls to those
+tools refuse with the same code. Nothing is fired or rewritten.
+
+**Preconfigured systems** such as a software factory or a writing workshop
+are plugins that ship templates, a system type and tools. Installing one hires
+nobody. The chief still raises a decision for each agent.
+
+**Marketplace.** Out of scope. The design must not preclude one, so the
+manifest keeps the source URL, version and hash, and reserves a `signature`
+field. The install screen already lists every tool that runs on the host.
+
+## 8. The minimal base
+
+A new organization already starts with the human, a chief and an assistant
+(`org-template.json:4,6`). That matches ruling 9. A6 later moves the
+assistant to the root level (agent-levels section 9).
+
+The chief reads the user's plan and raises one hire decision per agent it
+needs, each citing the plan in its reason. It starts with the fewest agents
+and adds one when a task needs a role nobody holds. Separate concerns go in
+separate organizations or projects.
+
+Every other shipped organization role becomes a template only: coder, pm,
+reviewer, security-reviewer, merge-gate, cto, the five chiefs (executive,
+financial, information, information security, marketing) and the six creative
+roles (companion, continuity, fact-checker, ideas, proofreader, research).
+`researcher.json` is a version 1 worker role (`roles/researcher.json:2`), which
+a hire refuses (`broker.mjs:6303`), and `conductor-policy.json` is not a role.
+Neither changes.
+
+## 9. Usability and security
+
+Read this first. It says who can change what.
+
+Everything in the first two columns is done by a person. No agent can do any
+of it.
+
+| A person changes it directly | It needs an approved decision | Only a reviewed code change |
+|---|---|---|
+| Organizations and projects (owner) | Hiring, firing or changing an agent's role (`org.hire`) | The rails in section 3 |
+| Drafting a role copy, or inventing a role from known parts. A draft does nothing until a decision uses it (`org.hire`) | Any agent power above the chief's own, shown flagged (owner approves) | The core list of tools and actions |
+| An agent's model, limits and route (`org.hire`) | Giving an agent a password, key or token (owner approves) | The shipped role templates |
+| An agent's personality and traits after hire | Applying a template update to your copy | The rights table, including `org.hire` |
+| Enabling a plugin in an organization (owner) | Each merge or policy change an agent asks for | Plugin kinds |
+| Installing a plugin on the instance (instance owner, at the host) | Adding an agent at the root level (instance owner) | System config, which only bootstrap writes |
+
+What never moves, whoever asks:
+
+- An agent cannot push to a protected branch, push to a remote, deploy, spend,
+  mint a credential, delete data or use sudo by itself. A person decides each
+  of those every time.
+- An agent cannot hire. Only the chief asks, and a person says yes.
+- An agent cannot merge into a protected branch or change policy unless a
+  person approves that one merge or change.
+- An agent cannot see another organization's work. The assistant's read
+  across organizations is planned (A6) and not built yet.
+- A plugin runs with the same power as the Mosaic service itself. Install
+  only code you trust.
+
+## 10. Threat model
+
+| Threat | What stops it | What is left |
+|---|---|---|
+| A prompt-injected chief proposes a hostile role | The broker computes the flagged and credential lines; the chief cannot hide them. Hard waits, hiring and unknown parts refuse (R4, R9, R3). A human approves against the digest. | A human can approve a hostile role. Flagged and credential lines need the owner. |
+| A custom role names an unknown tool | `checkComposition` refuses it at the decision and at the writer. Launch refuses it again (R3). | None. |
+| A plugin from an untrusted source | Instance owner only; hash pin; the install screen lists host-run tools. | Approved plugin code runs as the instance uid (R10). A pin does not make code safe. |
+| A credential scope wider than the task | Each scope is its own line; owner-only approval; the approver may drop lines; admin and all never granted. | The service's own scope granularity. |
+| An arbiter agent approves another agent's merge or policy change | A4 routes those decisions to the human whatever their class (R5). | Other routed work, such as task scope, still has an agent arbiter by design. |
+| Approval fatigue on flagged grants | Flagged lines shown apart from plain ones; credential and flagged decisions go to the owner; no batch approval; seven-day expiry. | A busy owner who approves without reading. A later slice could limit how many flagged decisions one approval screen holds. |
+| An imported template drifts from its source | The copy is frozen with its source hash. A changed template produces a diff offer, never a silent change. | An owner who keeps an old copy keeps its old behaviour. That is the ruling. |
+
+## 11. Invariant 7 amendment
+
+Proposed only. Jason approves it through a reviewed commit.
+
+Replace AGENTS.md invariant 7 (`AGENTS.md:45-47`) with:
+
+> 7. **Policy**: missions govern tasks; a task narrows, never widens. The
+>    rails, the core vocabulary of tools and actions, and the shipped role
+>    templates in `roles/` change only by reviewed commit. An organization's
+>    own roles are copies or compositions of known parts. One takes effect
+>    only through a decision a human with `org.hire` approves, which lists
+>    every grant above the chief's own as a flagged line. Only the chief
+>    raises hires, and a hired agent cannot hire.
+
+Touched role-model lines:
+
+- `AGENTS.md:107`: keep "policy/role expansion" as a protected act, and add
+  "an approved hire decision is that authority for the one agent it names".
+- `AGENTS.md:209`: change to "`roles/`: shipped role templates and the
+  conductor policy".
+
+## 12. Slices
+
+Phase A after A3, in order. A6 and A7 stay as agent-levels section 9 has
+them.
+
+**R1. The `org.hire` right.** Add `'org.hire': flag(true)` to `RIGHTS` and a
+verb entry for the hire resolution in `VERB_RIGHTS`. The owner bundle picks it
+up from `Object.keys(RIGHTS)` (`org-rights.mjs:22`); member, collaborator and
+approver do not get it. Rights policy, so Jason's approval
+(accounts design, `Grant needed` at line 1391). Tests: the owner has it; the
+three templates lack it; `canGrant` lets an owner grant it to a member; an
+unknown right still refuses.
+
+**P1. Primitives validator.** `checkComposition` and the registry, beside
+`role.mjs`. `HIRE_ALLOWED` stays until A4 switches over. It changes no role
+file but it defines authority policy, so Jason's approval. Tests: an unknown
+key, action, tool, service or scope refuses; each hard wait refuses;
+`role.hire` and `role.fire` refuse; a secret in instructions or personality
+refuses; `git.merge.protected` or `policy.change` in `withinRole` refuses;
+flagged lines match a hand-built expected set for coder against the
+shipped chief.
+
+**T1. Organization definitions and templates.** The `definitions` key,
+`org:` references, import, the human edit verbs under `org.hire`, the
+personality fields, the template hash and the diff read. Tests: import pins
+the hash; editing a template file changes no copy; the diff read shows the
+change; an `org:` reference to a missing definition refuses at launch; an
+agent cannot call the edit verbs.
+
+**A4. Hire as a decision, all levels.** The decision action, raise, Console
+approval, the writer calls, credential lines, expiry, fire and change, the
+Console path that raises and resolves in one step, human routing for
+`role.hire`, `role.fire`, `credential.mint`, `git.merge.protected` and
+`policy.change` decisions (R5), and removal of the direct path and
+`#hireable`. Org and project land first; root
+waits for A2's root writer. This edits `roles/chief-of-staff.json` and `.md`
+(drops `hireable`, rewords hire), the vocabulary and AGENTS.md invariant 7,
+and reverses part of PRD 1.5 REQ-DEC-2, so Jason's approval. Tests: a hired agent's raise refuses `role-not-chief`; a
+chief decision cannot carry its own `flagged`; a member with `org.hire`
+approving a credential or flagged decision refuses; a stale digest refuses;
+deny and expiry write nothing; approval writes the role, the route and the
+trail, and launch refuses `credential-unbound` until binding; fire revokes;
+the old `instance.hire` verb refuses; a cross-role `git.merge.protected` or
+`policy.change` decision routes to the human and an arbiter's resolve refuses
+`not-resolver`; a hire a person starts in the Console leaves a decision record
+with its flagged lines.
+
+**PL1. Plugin manifest, install and declared tools.** Manifest, pinned
+install root, lock file, the registry merge, and `plugin-disabled` refusals.
+Changes lead decision 143 and the loader's trust rule, so Jason's approval.
+Tests: a hash mismatch refuses and core keeps running; a manifest naming a
+core tool or a hard wait refuses; disabling a plugin makes its agents refuse
+at launch with its name; a running agent's call to a disabled tool refuses.

+## Accounts
+
+`mosaic accounts` administers the instance-level accounts store locally, as the
+effective uid owning the config directory. It requires a human shell, rejects `--tester`,
+and takes no business selector or bus connection. It has no organization rights
+verbs. Console sign-in, sessions and membership evaluation are later Phase M
+slices; these commands alone do not turn accounts mode on.
+
+```sh
+mosaic accounts init --name Operator
+mosaic accounts list --json
+mosaic accounts user add --name Pat --subject pocket:verified-subject --revision 1
+mosaic accounts user disable u-0123456789ab --revision 2
+mosaic accounts user enable u-0123456789ab --revision 3
+mosaic accounts user signout u-0123456789ab --revision 4
+mosaic accounts user remove u-0123456789ab --revision 5
+```
+
+Init creates one operator account containing every configured `console.sso`
+subject and refuses if accounts.json already exists. Add mints its id and defaults
+to instance role `user`; `--role operator` creates another operator. Writes require
+the file revision from list. Disable, enable and signout advance `authGen`, and
+the last active operator cannot be disabled or removed. Removal scans ownership
+while holding the registry then accounts locks, refuses if the account owns an
+organization (including archived organizations) or any registry entry lacks its
+owner metadata during creation, and removes its memberships in
+the same write. List reports rollback rows needing repair; its JSON omits invite
+bindings and hashes. Receipts record effective process uid and verb and omit subjects and secrets.

+## Instance accounts (Phase M2)
+
+`src/accounts.mjs` validates `<configDir>/accounts.json` without a dependency or
+JSON schema engine, as `access.mjs` does. `checkAccounts(document, {providers})`
+and `loadAccounts(file, {providers})` return frozen documents. Providers are the
+configured `console.sso.providers` objects (including issuer). Reads refuse an
+unsafe config directory, unsafe file, unknown field or malformed row. Account
+ids may be organization humans. `accountsRepairs(document)` reports unknown
+roles and rights retained on read for rollback; these rows must grant nothing.
+M4 supplies the authorization evaluator; M2 alone grants no Console or bus access.
+
+`withAccounts(ctx, {revision, verb, actor?, registry?, init?}, mutate)` takes
+`accounts.lock`, reloads, checks the expected file revision, awaits `mutate` on a
+copy, maintains `authGen` and membership `rev`, validates and atomically replaces
+0600 bytes. Init publishes with a no-clobber hard link; replacements use rename.
+Both fsync the config directory before the receipt is appended. `ctx` contains `configDir`, `instance`, and `providers`. Init requires
+revision 0 and an absent file. Other writes require an existing valid file. Writes
+refuse unknown rights/roles on new or changed rows. Unchanged rollback rows pass
+through exactly, so they cannot block account revocation or another row's repair. Role templates are never evaluated as authority by this store.
+
+For a caller already holding accounts.lock,
+`withAccountsLock(ctx, handle => withAccountsLocked(handle, options, mutate))`
+reuses that live opaque handle. Never acquire an earlier lock from the callback.
+The config path must have no symlink ancestors, including the home directory.
+The order is lifecycle, registry, accounts. Registry-dependent writes pass the
+live document from `withRegistry`; `readRegistryLocked(registry, ctx?)` verifies
+the lock and rereads its persisted snapshot without relocking. A changed registry
+or an instance mismatch refuses before account publication. Callbacks cannot
+reuse a released handle, or run two writes at once through one handle.
+
+Each committed write appends and fsyncs one receipt under the accounts lock in
+`accounts-receipts.jsonl`: effective OS uid, actor id, verb, old/new file revisions, changed
+account ids with changed field names, and before/after membership rights, scope
+and revisions. No account
+name, subject, invite binding, hash, raw token or cookie enters the receipt. The
+store preflights the receipt destination before replacing accounts. As with
+other two-file journals, a crash or IO failure between replacement and receipt
+append can leave committed state without its receipt; an observed append failure
+has `committed: true` and must be inspected before retrying. It never rolls back
+committed authority silently or fabricates a success receipt.

+// U4b (#1873, PRD 1.20): one task board across every organization (sample 06).
+//
+// Reads: GET /api/workspace?sections=tasks,projects, where each org's tasks come from its own tracker
+// module (the built-in store or Vikunja), merged and tagged with the org. The project, state, assignee
+// and label filters go to the server, which applies them before its per-org cap, so a filter reaches
+// every task an org holds; the org chips, the search, Nobody and No project narrow in the page. An org whose bus is down,
+// slow or invalid keeps its U1 state on the Trackers line and the others still render.
+// Writes: POST /api/workspace/tasks, one org per request, through that org's bus and its person
+// verbs (tasks.create, tasks.edit, tasks.archive). The bus runs its own human check; a refusal is
+// shown as the bus answered it. Vikunja tasks are read only here: the bus refuses them
+// (tracker-not-store), so the board offers no control for them.
+// bus.js calls view() for #/tasks in organization mode and repaints it on its own 10 s poll.
