+# 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.

+| `next` push/manual                | CI-computed prereleases, `<target-stable>-next.<CI_PIPELINE_NUMBER>`, published with `npm publish --tag next` | `gateway:sha-<short>` only                                                               |
+
+`next` never publishes npm `latest` or Docker `latest`. The next npm publish step verifies that `@mosaicstack/mosaic@next` resolves to the computed prerelease before the pipeline can pass.

-
-**Subject head (exact):** `32b490a712a5e8e77f13c40c60099b51feb38994`
-**Supersedes:** the NO-GO at `83d2ecb2` (D-44, four silent-defeat paths). That verdict is VOID.
-**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` **before any reviewer read the diff.** **Reviewer:** `rev-974`.

-## Framing — attack the FIX, not the original bug
-
-Every round on this mission, **the remediation introduced the next hole**: the commit-binding fix
-shipped a type confusion; the type-strict fix was clean but the registry around it had four defeats.
-So the highest-value checks here are **not** "was each blocker fixed" — the orchestrator already
-reproduced three of the four attacks as dead — but **"is the NEW mechanism itself defeatable?"**
-
-Blocker 1's fix replaced an author-settable field with a **derivation**. A derivation has inputs. **The
-question is who controls them.**

-## H — the new derivation (highest value)

If the derivation is gameable, blocker 1 is not fixed, only relocated. |
-| **H2** | **First-parent traversal:** what happens on a merge commit, an octopus merge, a squash, a rebase that reorders, or a branch where the introducing commit is not on the first-parent chain? Does the boundary silently move, or fail closed?                                                                                                                                                            |

-| **S1** | **Is closure COMPLETE or enumerated?** The author lists the objects they closed. Find one they did **not** — any nested object anywhere in the manifest — and inject an unknown key there. If it is accepted, the fix covers instances, not the class. |
-| **S2** | **Wrong-type, not just unknown-key:** `outputPattern` as a number/array/object/null rather than misspelled. Does the closed schema type-check values, or only key names?                                                                               |
-| **S3** | **Empty/degenerate values:** `outputPattern: ""` — does an empty regex match everything and silently neuter the assertion the same way a typo did? The author claims an empty-pattern control; verify it is bound.                                     |
-| **S4** | Confirm the registered typo/wrong-type/empty-pattern controls are **genuine red-first** against pre-fix code, and that anything labelled a regression guard is honestly labelled as one.                                                               |

-| **E1** | Global validation runs **before** per-commit filtering **on every path**, including the HEAD-only path the author calls out. Is there any code path that reaches per-commit assessment without it?                                              |
-| **E2** | **Duplicate identity by another key:** the fix makes pipeline NUMBER globally unique. Can two records still collide on a different identity dimension — same commit + different number, same URL, same step-id — and certify the wrong subject? |
-| **E3** | "Exactly one gate-verify step per record" — what if a record has zero, or two with different outcomes? Fail closed?                                                                                                                             |

-| **C2** | **B1/B2 satisfied in substance:** does `RM02-EVIDENCE-SUBJECT-BINDING` express D-38 generally ("does this gate bind its evidence to its subject?") or only the one pipeline-number instance? Same for D-40 vs the one typo instance. **A clause that only covers its originating instance is not a clause.** |

-- **The overclaim control FIRES**: clean ⇒ exit 0; injecting "protected, independently anchored" into

-| **N1** | ★ Is the narrowed claim **honest EVERYWHERE**, or only where the control looks? Find any place — docs, comments, observations, manifest prose, CLI output — that still implies the baseline is protected or independently anchored. **The control only checks the files it checks.** |
-| **N2** | ★ Can the **overclaim control itself** be defeated? It is PR-controlled like everything else. Weaken/skip/reword it so an overstatement passes. If it can be trivially neutered, D-52 is re-armed one level down — the exact recursion this PR keeps producing.                      |
-| **N3** | Does the control detect **semantic** overclaim or only the literal strings it greps? An artifact could assert protection in different words and pass.                                                                                                                                |
-| **N4** | Is the narrowed claim **TRUE**? Verify the baseline genuinely catches accidental/inconsistent drift — not just that it says so. A narrowed claim that is still overstated is D-48 again.                                                                                             |

-| **H2** | ★ **TRAP 1 re-check:** nothing emits the unverifiable state as an OBSERVATION (which exits 0). Confirm no path yields exit 0 while implying provenance was considered.                               |

-Unrunnable ⇒ **say so**. **N1 and N2 are the sharp ones** — this PR's history is that every fix
-relocates the defect one level down, and N2 asks whether the control that enforces honesty is itself
-honest. **Attack outside the set: six for six so far.**

-# RM-02 / PR #1030 — PRE-REGISTERED ACCEPTANCE CHECKS (post-rebase, keystone)
-
-**Subject head (exact):** `83d2ecb2243f1b0987ef2bc14de47f444285a684`
-**Rebased onto:** `main` @ `f4fd5967fc5d4cbc72d680b199d88224aa855131` (post-RM-61)
-**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` **BEFORE the reviewer read the diff.** **Reviewer:** `rev-974`
-(author ≠ reviewer; branch commits are `f10-coder`'s and `coder-mos1`'s).
-**Prior reviews 63 / 65 are SUPERSEDED; this head carries NO live review of any kind.**
-
-RM-02 is the **keystone**: it is the anti-inert-gate registry every downstream gate is measured against.
-A defect that survives here propagates into every gate this mission ships.
-
-## ★ CRUX — the one non-mechanical change, made by the author, that turned a red green
-
-The rebase was clean. One further commit was **not** purely mechanical and the author disclosed it
-unprompted (`83d2ecb2` — advance registry activation seam):
-
-    gates/gates.manifest.json
-    -  "activationCommit": "f65e9ea656ec466e12640bf6ab5d46fe07ff160c"
-    +  "activationCommit": "f4fd5967fc5d4cbc72d680b199d88224aa855131"
-
-Stated rationale: after the rebase, `pnpm gate:verify` correctly failed because the newly-merged
-pre-registry RM-61 commit was treated as _prospective_ and required a manifest that could not exist.
-
-`activationCommit` sets the lower bound of `activationCommit..HEAD` — **the set of commits required to
-carry own-tree registry provenance** (`gate-history.mjs:314` → `listProspectiveCommits`). Advancing it
-**shrinks that set**.

-**Determine, do not assume — and I have deliberately formed and stated no verdict (D-39):**

-| **A1** | **Is the advance JUSTIFIED?** Can a pre-registry commit on `main` (e.g. `f4fd5967`) satisfy the provenance requirement at all, or is requiring it impossible-by-construction? If impossible, is advancing the seam the _correct_ remedy, or does a correct remedy exist that does not move an author-controlled field?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
-| **A2** | **Is the advance MINIMAL?** Was it advanced exactly to the new parent baseline, or beyond it? Does any commit that _should_ remain covered fall outside the new range?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
-| **A3** | **Are all 7 branch commits still PROSPECTIVE under the new seam?** Enumerate them and show each is still required to carry provenance. The author claims "own-tree provenance over every registry-era branch commit" — verify the claim, do not accept it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
-| **A4** | ★★ **IS THE SEAM ITSELF CONSTRAINED?** The only validation found is `merge-base --is-ancestor activationCommit head` (`gate-history.mjs:288`). **A commit is its own ancestor.** Determine what `activationCommit = HEAD` does: is the prospective range empty, does the per-commit loop iterate zero times, and does the history check therefore PASS VACUOUSLY? If so, the anti-inert-gate registry contains an author-settable field that can inert its own history check. **Run it. Report the observed exit and whether any failure is raised.** |
-| **A5** | **If A4 shows vacuity is reachable, is there a registered MUST-FAIL negative control for it?** RM-02's own founding rule is that a gate with no proven failure path manufactures evidence. Does the registry hold a case that goes RED when the seam is over-advanced? If not, that is a hole in the registry's coverage of itself.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
-| **A6** | **Self-verification shape (charter / D-19 / D-39b):** the field was advanced by the change's own author to make the author's gate pass. Independent of whether the value is correct, determine whether the _mechanism_ permits an audited party to relax its own audit, and whether that needs a constraint, an owner, or an escalation.                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

-| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **B1** | **D-38 clause present and enforced:** the registry asks of every gate _"does this gate BIND its evidence to the subject under review?"_ Ruled in-scope for THIS PR by Mos. Verify it exists as a checked clause, not prose.                                             |
-| **B2** | **D-40 clause present and enforced:** _"discriminator and comparison inputs must be TYPE-STRICT."_ Also ruled in-scope for THIS PR. `== 0` matching `False`/`0.0` is the banked instance; the clause is the general form.                                               |
-| **B3** | **D-42's clause is CORRECTLY ABSENT** — provider-side negative control tracks separately (Mos: landing it now would give the registry a clause with nothing to satisfy it, going red on its own clause). Confirm its absence is deliberate and recorded, not forgotten. |
-| **B4** | **The four founding clauses still hold** (`MISSION.md`): every check proven **right** (red for its own stated reason), the set **covers**, no two criteria **conflict**, and criterion evolution **retains original text + restatement + reason**.                      |
-| **B5** | **Nothing was weakened, skipped, or deleted by the rebase.** Diff `f9746b23` → `83d2ecb2` and confirm no registered case, test, or assertion was removed or relaxed to make the rebase land.                                                                            |
-| **B6** | **`coverageBoundary.excluded[]` is honest in BOTH directions** (charter principle 4): what it does NOT cover is stated beside what it DOES, and the gap is tracked (`trackedBy: RM-54`) rather than implied-fixed.                                                      |
-| **B7** | **The RM-02 execution boundary** (`gate-history.mjs`, DOES / DOES NOT, owner RM-60, xref RM-59) states its limits in both directions and names a tracked owner — not a documented gap with no owner.                                                                    |

-**Subject head (exact):** `868b9b871a5118762aa5b8aafecd2f0592f7ab5c`
-**Rebased onto:** `main` @ `f4fd5967` **Registered by:** `mos-remediation` before the reviewer read the
-diff. **Reviewer:** `rev-974`.
-
-**Why this exists:** review 66 APPROVED and the merge-gate GO were bound to `78ec47cd`; `main` drifted
-under a long hold and the PR went `mergeable=false` (**D-50 — a GO has a shelf life**). Both verdicts
-are VOID at the new head. Jason's merge approval is **standing** and executes once this re-gates.

-## What the orchestrator already verified (do not re-spend here)
-
-- `git range-diff 78ec47cd...868b9b87`: commits **2–5 are `=` (patch-equivalent)**; only commit 1 differs.
-- That single difference is the `test:framework-shell` chain, resolved as a **UNION** — main's
-  `test-terminal-green-contract.sh` **and** RM-03's `tristate`, `github-checks`, `merge-queue-branch`,
-  `merge-head-pin`, plus the pre-existing `branch-absent`. **Nothing dropped from either side.**
-- CI #2199 at the exact head: 9 children, 9 success incl. `clone`; machine check exit 0, bound, no anomalies.

-| **R1** | ★ **THE GUARD CAN FAIL.** RM-03 exists because the queue guard is ZERO-INFORMATION (D-23) — it returns pass for every possible input. Prove the rebased head's guard **actually fails** on asserted non-readiness, not merely that its tests pass. This is the whole deliverable. |
-| **R2** | ★ **NO QUEUE-GUARD SEMANTIC MOVED IN THE REBASE.** Confirm the range-diff equivalence independently. A queue-guard semantic resolved quietly re-breaks the thing this PR fixes.                                                                                                   |
-| **R3** | **Union is complete in BOTH directions:** no RM-03 suite lost to main's version, no main suite (esp. `test-terminal-green-contract.sh`) lost to RM-03's. Enumeration count reconciles.                                                                                            |
-| **R4** | **Tri-state is real** (`verified` / `written-unverified` / `failed`) — P-WRAPPER-001. Verify an indeterminate result cannot present as a pass; that is the exact defect (`state=unknown exit 0`).                                                                                 |

-
-**Subject head (exact):** `033b2ffb46674b2c0bcc5197273c109b461f62d9`
-**Supersedes:** review 67 / comment 20403 @ `e7b29219` (NO GO). That verdict is VOID — the head moved.
-**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` (orchestrator). **Reviewer:** `rev-974` (author ≠ reviewer).
-**Registered BEFORE the reviewer read the diff.** Any head move after this file is committed voids the
-re-review and requires re-registration.
-
-## Scope discipline
-
-The prior review passed AC1–AC8 and still found a blocker, because the registered set tested whether the
-signature DISCRIMINATES and never tested whether the evidence was BOUND TO ITS SUBJECT (Finding 3 /
-coverage-failure-mode-2, D-17 class). This set therefore carries the binding property as a first-class
-check, and **RR7 explicitly invites the reviewer to attack outside the set** — a registered set is
-protection against retrofitting only, never a ceiling on scrutiny.

-# RM-61 / PR #1033 — PRE-REGISTERED ACCEPTANCE CHECKS: `exit_code` TYPE-STRICTNESS (D-40)
-
-**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` (orchestrator) — **BEFORE the fix was pushed and before any
-reviewer read a diff.** At registration time the fix existed only as an unpushed local commit
-(`6e7a336d`) on coder-mos1's machine which **I have not read**. There is therefore no diff for these
-checks to have been retrofitted to.
-
-**Subject head:** TBD — binds to the NEW head once coder-mos1 pushes. The prior head
-`033b2ffb46674b2c0bcc5197273c109b461f62d9` and its review 69 / pipeline #2193 go VOID on that push;
-that cost was accepted deliberately by Mos's BLOCKING ruling on D-40.
-
-**Ruling being enforced (Mos, 2026-08-01):** `exit_code` must be accepted ONLY as a real integer.
-`false`, `0.0`, `"0"`, and `null` must all fail to satisfy the exemption. Wrong-ACCEPT is the
-disqualifying direction; this hole sits inside the load-bearing discriminator.
-
-## ⚠ Read this before writing the tests — RED-FIRST HERE IS NOT UNIFORM
-
-Two of the four near-miss values **already block** at `033b2ffb`. Demanding "all four observed RED
-first" would be demanding an impossible red for two of them, and the predictable response to an
-impossible demand is a fudge — weakening something real to manufacture the red. So state it precisely:
-
-| value   | behaviour at `033b2ffb` (pre-fix) | what the new case is      |
-| ------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
-| `false` | **WRONGLY EXEMPTS** (exit 0)      | **genuine RED-FIRST**     |
-| `0.0`   | **WRONGLY EXEMPTS** (exit 0)      | **genuine RED-FIRST**     |
-| `"0"`   | correctly blocks (exit 1)         | **regression guard** only |
-| `null`  | correctly blocks (exit 1)         | **regression guard** only |
-
-Claiming red-first for `"0"` or `null` would be a false claim about your own evidence. Say which is
-which. **Do not weaken anything to make a green case go red** (D-8).

-  not a 200 on a read. Mos owns provisioning; escalate missing pairs.

 # mos-remediation — LIVE BOARD (keep < 8 KB)
 
-**Phase:** EXECUTING — **RM-02 keystone is the front**.
-**Updated:** 2026-08-05 — successor seat live. D-56 state correction applied (lost round-5 dispatch,
-4 idle days); round-5 review then ran same day: verdict id 88 REQUEST_CHANGES @ `e910a45a`,
-remediation dispatched to `coder-mos2`. Review dispatches now always leave a durable PR comment.
-⚠ That was a **MANUAL pane respawn** (prior seat ~803k tokens): it validates the checkpoint+rehydration
-**design**, NOT a lifecycle **mechanism** — P-LIFECYCLE rotation does not exist yet (**D-41 / RM-62**).
+**Phase:** EXECUTING — P0 open. RM-01 MERGED; RM-02 (keystone gate registry) is next.
+**Updated:** 2026-07-31 (mos-remediation orchestrator; seat active on `mosaic-fleet`).
 
 ## Head
 
-- Charter + 15 decisions + 4-build plan: `MISSION.md`. Backlog + all findings: `TASKS.md`.
-- Planning DONE (58 tasks, P0–P5). **DECISION-1/2/3 all RULED by Mos 2026-07-31** (`TASKS.md` §5) —
-  nothing is waiting on a decision. D-2's availability _target_ is Jason-pending and non-blocking.
-- **Executing, not planning.** RM-01 is MERGED; three lanes are live (see In-flight).
-- Orchestrator seat `mos-remediation` LIVE, owns the mission, resumed across the rotation seam
-  2026-08-01 and re-attested to Mos from the files. Residency attestation: PASS.
+- Mission charter + 15 decisions + 4-build plan: PERSISTED (`docs/remediation/MISSION.md`).
+- HOLD lifted for this workstream (Jason 2026-07-31). Nothing implemented yet — planning first.
+- Orchestrator seat `mos-remediation` is LIVE and owns the mission. Residency attestation: PASS.
+- **TASK-0 DONE** — checkout repaired, all three gates green HONESTLY (no `--no-verify`), branch pushed.
+- **TASK-1 DONE** — both planners delivered independently on clean context; reconciled into `TASKS.md`
+  (58 tasks across P0–P5, 7 convergences, 7 adjudicated disagreements, 3 escalated decisions).
+- **NEXT ACTION IS NOT MINE:** DECISION-1/2/3 (`TASKS.md` §5) must be ruled before P0 dispatch.
+  RM-01 is dispatchable immediately regardless — it depends on nothing and blocks everything.

-### For the incoming orchestrator — read this before acting
-
-1. **Lane state lives in the In-flight table above — this item does NOT restate it.** It went stale
-   three times in one session by duplicating that table (D-26's class). Read the table. ⚠ **And
-   re-derive any board claim from the provider before load-bearing use (D-43)** — the board is
-   sole-written and has no independent verifier.
-2. **`docs/remediation/TASKS.md` is authoritative**, not the newest voice in a chat. It holds 58 findings
-   (D-1…D-6 in `BOARD-LEDGER.md`, D-7…D-55c + D-38c in TASKS.md), every ruling with its rationale, and the
-   requirements each finding placed on RM-02/RM-34/RM-50/RM-55.
-3. **`MISSION.md` carries the first-class principles** — read them there, they are not listed here.
-   Two added 2026-08-01: **the anchor must live outside the audited party's authority** (D-19/D-25/D-45,
-   third arrival) and **no universally-quantified check may pass over an empty set** (D-44/D-46).
-4. **Seat identity:** `export MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=<seat>` is stripped by a context reset (**D-34**) —
-   every dispatch/rehydration brief must re-export it, or the seat cannot use its credentials.
-5. **Scan CI from `-f json`, never default text** — text mode omits `clone` (**D-33**). State counts.
-6. **The queue guard is zero-information until RM-03 merges** (**D-23**) — never cite its green.
-7. **The bounded CI re-roll used on RM-02 was a one-time stopgap, NOT policy.** A per-PR free re-roll is
-   D-21 normalisation. Do not repeat it; RM-61 is the fix.

 ## Gate status
 
+- Delivery gates active: author≠reviewer, diff-blind pre-registered checks, CI-green, merged-PR completion.
 - Freeze: LIFTED for this workstream only.
-- Git identity: orchestrator runs `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=mos-dt-0` INTERIM. Mos ruled gate-16 HOLDS (author≠reviewer is what
+- Git identity: `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=mos-dt-0` INTERIM. Mos ruled gate-16 HOLDS (author≠reviewer is what
   gate-16 protects; rev-974 reviews, mos-dt-0 never self-reviews). Dedicated identity TRACKED, Mos provisions.
-- Capability + seat identity (**D-11b / D-11a**, incl. the false-NEGATIVE twin): authoritative in
-  `TASKS.md`. Short form — **assert the DIFFERENTIAL as that seat** (authenticated `push:true` vs
-  unauthenticated `push:false`); a single endpoint can be true for anyone or 403 for an unrelated
-  scope. Full text rolled to [`BOARD-LEDGER.md`](./BOARD-LEDGER.md).
-- ⚠ **LIVE HAZARD (D-37) — one shared `.git/config` re-identifies EVERY worktree at once.** Every seat,
-  including `rev-974`'s review worktree, currently authors as **`coder-mos1`**; `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`
-  does **not** override it. **STANDING ORDER: commit with explicit
-  `git -c user.name=<seat> -c user.email=<seat>@…`, and NOBODY rewrites the shared config mid-flight.**
-  Real fix authorised, Mos owns it, sequenced at a quiet seam. **#1024 implicated.** Detail: D-37.
-- Standing worker-brief doctrine (mandatory in EVERY brief): re-export `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY` (**D-34**);
-  commit early/WIP (**D-31**); don't weaken a RED test to pass; if a check is unrunnable SAY SO, never
-  substitute; `agent-send -f` never `-m`; artifacts off shared `/tmp`; scan CI from `-f json` (**D-33**);
-  **relay observations into an open review, NEVER your own conclusion on an open check (D-39)**; the
-  **author never adjudicates their own PR's blocker status** — surface evidence, prepare the fix, hold.
+- Capability check (D-11b): before dispatching seat X to provider Y, verify
+  `~/.config/mosaic/secrets/gitea-tokens/gitea-<Y>-<X>.token` exists. Token-file set = authoritative
+  capability registry. Mos owns provisioning; escalate missing pairs to him.
+- Seat identity (D-11a): token identity AND `git config user.name`/`user.email` must BOTH be set and
+  agree. Exporting `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY` alone does NOT fix commit authorship.
+- Standing worker-brief doctrine (accreted, mandatory in every brief): don't weaken a RED test to make
+  it pass; if a check is unrunnable as written SAY SO, never silently substitute; `agent-send -f` never
+  `-m`; heavy artifacts off shared `/tmp`.
 - Remote control: native `/remote-control` NOT wired in this runtime. Path is **Mos-relay**
   (Jason ↔ mos-claude via Discord ↔ mos-remediation via agent-send). Not a blocker.

-All 58 findings (D-1…D-6 in `BOARD-LEDGER.md`, D-7…D-55c + D-38c in `TASKS.md`) and every ruling with
-its rationale live there. **Not duplicated here.** The history of _why_ this board must not restate —
-six stale copies across two seams — is rolled verbatim into [`BOARD-LEDGER.md`](./BOARD-LEDGER.md).
+1. Spine + choke-point service (MACP wiring @ mosaic_orchestrator.py::run_single_task) + PG/Redis
+   ⚠ **CONTESTED — see DECISION-1.** Both planners independently reject this wire-in point: that
+   controller is `"enabled": false` and references a dispatcher that does not exist here. Charter text
+   left UNCHANGED pending Mos/Jason ruling; do not treat it as settled.
+2. Rotation daemon (finish Mission Control Plane, reuse packages/coord)
+3. Comms service (envelope→service→PG/Redis→adapters)
+4. Hygiene + conformance harness
+   Cross-cutting retirements: flat-file tracking, 3 MACP islands, silent MOSAIC BYPASS.

+
+### **D-8 / P-CONFORMANCE-001 — a PRE-REGISTERED acceptance check that was not runnable as written.**
+
+PR #1025 AC2's fixture `mkdir -p apps/*/venv/lib` creates a literal `apps/*/venv/lib` dir when the glob is unmatched — it did not test what it claimed. rev-974 ran it exactly as written, caught it, re-ran the intended assertion at an explicit path, and **disclosed** rather than silently substituting a working fixture and reporting PASS. **Pre-registration protects a check from being retrofitted to the implementation; it does not make the check correct.** An unverified gate appeared inside the mechanism built to catch unverified gates. Hard requirement on RM-02: the registry must self-verify that every registered case runs AND can fail — presence is not evidence.
+
+### **D-7 / P-FLEET-001 — stale-GC-on-disk: shared 30G /tmp hit 100% ENOSPC, degrading two seats.**
+
+~5.2G was session scratch dead 8-9 days (this session's own footprint: 88K). Same missing capability as orphaned-tmux-session GC, applied to disk — not a quota or discipline problem. Resolved manually by Mos (lead coordinator) after independent verification; `/tmp` now 79%. **The gap IS the finding:** the authority to reap exists, the deterministic reaper does not. Folded into RM-50 with explicit requirements (mechanical liveness, age threshold, dry-run, audit event per reap — never a heuristic sweep). Refusing to unilaterally delete another session's scratch was correct doctrine; the fix is a reaper, not braver agents.
+
+### **D-6 / P-QUEUE-001 — the mandated queue guard returned PASS on an UNKNOWN state, live, today.**
+
+Running the required `ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose push` before pushing produced `state=unknown ... exit 0` — the exact defect at `ci-queue-wait.sh:282-288` that PR #1023 is parked on. It also evaluated `branch=main` rather than the branch being pushed. The mission's own required pre-push gate passed me on an indeterminate result. Third independent live instance of the class.

+## Decisions log
+
+- 2026-07-31 — Mission set up by Mos post-postmortem (15/15 decided). Dogfood posture active.
+- 2026-07-31 — Mos: stale `.mosaic/orchestrator/mission.json` is RESIDUE of the disabled Python
+  orchestrator rail that this plan RETIRES. Do NOT invest in it; do NOT build on that rail. The 0/0
+  milestone banner is cosmetic. (Supersedes any plan to repair it.)
+- 2026-07-31 — Mos: planners must be dispatched with GUARANTEED clean context, not requested-clean.
+  Prior default-socket planner sessions predate this mission; dirty context is the indicted hygiene.
+- 2026-07-31 — mos-remediation: worker briefs forbid all git ops and restrict each worker to a single
+  named output file, so two planners can share one checkout without a branch race (M2-era incident doctrine).

-### First-class principle — query for refutation, never for confirmation
-
-> **A subordinate asked to confirm a hypothesis will agree. Ask it to refute, with evidence.**
->
-> The bias is induced by the **query**, not by the answerer's diligence. _"The DB flaked — please
-> confirm"_ and _"confirm or refute this, with the log line that proves it"_ are different instruments,
-> and they return different answers to the same question. The first harvests agreement; only the second
-> can return **"you are wrong, and here is why."**
->
-> This matters most with agent subordinates, which are **agreeable by construction**: fluent, eager to
-> be useful, and structurally disinclined to tell the dispatcher their premise is false. A confirmation
-> query aimed at one is close to a guaranteed yes — so the discipline cannot rest on the answerer being
-> rigorous. **It has to be built into how the question is asked.**
->
-> Promoted to the charter by Mos (2026-08-01). Origin: the orchestrator hypothesised that a coincident
-> `ci-postgres` failure caused a CI test failure and asked the implementing seat to **confirm or refute**
-> it. The seat **refuted it** with the log (`ci-postgres:5432 - accepting connections`, migrations
-> completed) and identified the real cause. Reproduction on an identical head then settled it. Had the
-> query been phrased for confirmation, the agreement would have been returned, **D-21 would have been
-> re-classified on a false premise**, and a banked finding would have been silently corrupted.
->
-> **Operationally:** state your hypothesis explicitly, mark it as yours, ask for _evidence that kills
-> it_, and say what evidence would change your mind. A hypothesis you cannot describe how to falsify is
-> not yet a hypothesis. Where the answer is consequential, **reproduce** rather than accept — two
-> independent runs beat one confident report.
-
-### First-class principle — the anchor must live outside the audited party's authority
-
-> **You cannot fix "the author controls X" by deriving X from something the author ALSO controls.**
-> Deriving merely **moves** the control point; it does not remove it.
->
-> Promoted to the charter by Mos (2026-08-01) on the **THIRD INDEPENDENT ARRIVAL** of the same
-> conclusion, each reached while trying to ship something else, each from a different direction:
->
-> | arrival           | the audited party controls…                                         | found as |
-> | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
-> | manifest          | the tree that certifies its own generated state (same-UID, CWE-345) | **D-19** |
-> | sandbox           | the code that enters the sandbox, before the boundary exists        | **D-25** |
-> | **registry seam** | **WHEN the tracked path is introduced, hence the derived boundary** | **D-45** |
->
-> Round 1 the value was an author-settable **field**, so it was **derived**. Round 2 the derivation
-> depended on **when the author introduces the path**. Same authority, new costume. **Three
-> impossibility-derivations of one conclusion is not a coincidence to note — it is the strongest
-> architectural evidence this mission has produced**, and it is precisely what **forces Builds 1–2**
-> rather than making them a preference.
->
-> **Operationally:** anchor to a reference the audited party cannot move. A git **merge-base against
-> `main`** is such a reference for a PR author (they own their branch; they do not own `main`).
-> **State the bootstrap in BOTH directions (D-19):** that anchor is sound against an author who cannot
-> rewrite `main` — the threat in scope — and **NOT** sound against an attacker who can. **That residual
-> is what Builds 1–2 close, and it must be recorded as a tracked dependency, never implied.**
-
-### First-class principle — no universally-quantified check may pass over an empty set
-
-> **"All registered cases ran" is VACUOUSLY TRUE when there are no registered cases.**
-> **Non-emptiness and anchoring are PRECONDITIONS asserted before the quantified check runs — not
-> properties hoped for after it.**
->
-> Promoted by Mos (2026-08-01) after the identical vacuity appeared **twice, at two different levels**:
-> `activationCommit = HEAD` emptied the **commit range** (D-44), and an emptied manifest — `criteria`,
-> `gates`, `proseClaims`, `compatibilityScenarios` all `[]` — emptied the **registry population**
-> (D-46), each yielding **exit 0**. The first was fixed **as an instance**; the principle was never
-> extracted, **so it returned one level up.**
->
-> **Delete every gate and every criterion TOGETHER and no remaining reference complains — because every
-> reference went with them.** A check that quantifies over a population must actually **range** over it,
-> and that population must be **provably complete and non-empty**.
->
-> **Corollary (same disease):** a clause written for the instance that produced it is not a clause.
-> **Do not relabel the originating instances as the general clauses** — quantify over the population.
-
-### First-class principle — redundant observation on evidence-bearing steps
-
-> **Two observers of the same evidence, disagreeing, catch what neither catches alone.** Apply redundancy
-> not only to judgement calls but to **evidence gathering itself** — the step everyone assumes is
-> mechanical and therefore skips.
->
-> Promoted by Mos (2026-08-01) from **D-33**. A seat scanned a pipeline with `-f json` and reported 9
-> steps; the orchestrator scanned the same pipeline in the wrapper's default text mode and reported 8.
-> **The default output omits `clone`.** Every "full step scan" that night had been 8-of-9 and was stated
-> as complete in good faith. No verdict changed — but the _method_ was wrong, invisibly, and **only the
-> disagreement between two counts surfaced it.**
->
-> The reason it survived: **a summary that resembles an enumeration is more dangerous than one that
-> obviously summarises.** A labelled list of named steps with states _looks_ like the artifact, so nobody
-> checks it against the record. Compare D-24 — `mergeable` was a _true answer to a different question_;
-> this was a _true answer to a smaller one_. Neither is a lie; both pass every sniff test.
->
-> **Operationally:** where a step _produces evidence a decision rests on_, have it produced twice by
-> different means, and treat **any divergence as a finding rather than as noise to reconcile**. Prefer the
-> machine-readable record over the human-readable rendering — _read the artifact, not the summary_ — and
-> state the counts observed so a divergence is detectable at all.

+# RM-61 — CI contract exemption for #1000 teardown artifact
+
+**Tracking:** RM-61 / issue #1000
+
+**Branch:** `fix/rm-61-ci-contract-exemption`
+**Owner:** `coder-mos1`
+
+## Objective
+
+Determine, by red-first provider controls, whether the `ci-postgres` pod-not-found teardown signature discriminates from a real PostgreSQL failure. Only if it discriminates may a named, bounded CI-contract exemption be implemented. The exemption must retire when #1000 is fixed; fixing #1000 is the closure path.
+
+## Pre-registered kill criterion
+
+If an injected real `ci-postgres` failure also yields `pods "wp-svc-<ULID>-ci-postgres" not found` as the service's provider-visible failure, the signature does not discriminate. Option B is unsafe; stop exemption implementation and fall to Option A (#1000).
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Capture full `-f json` records for the 11 supplied observations and state counts.
+2. Run one startup-failure control using the real pgvector/PostgreSQL image with an invalid `initdb` argument.
+3. Run one post-readiness crash control using real PostgreSQL, `pg_isready`, and a deliberate postmaster kill while a DB-dependent probe is active.
+4. Compare the raw `ci-postgres` service record independently of failures in dependent steps.
+5. Investigate runner/time/head clustering only as a hypothesis; never encode incidental correlates or retries into policy.
+6. If and only if the controls discriminate, implement and test the exact exemption, document its two-way boundary, and track retirement at #1000.
+
+## Budget
+
+No explicit token cap supplied. Working estimate: 20K–30K tokens. Limit provider controls to the two pre-registered runs; no retries or re-roll policy.
+
+## Initial evidence
+
+Historical JSON saved locally under `.evidence/rm-61/` (not for commit). Supplied pipelines: 11 total. Child-step counts: five pipelines with 9 children and six with 10 children. Seven contain the `ci-postgres` pod-not-found failure (#2170, #2175, #2180, #2181, #2182, #2187, #2188); four do not (#2158, #2167, #2184, #2186). Every observed workflow reports `agent_id=44`, so the available JSON does not separate clean and artifact runs by runner. This refutes runner identity as a discriminator in the sampled record.
+
+## Progress
+
+- [x] Requirements and kill criterion recorded before control implementation.
+- [x] Historical full-JSON records captured.
+- [x] Startup-failure control observed terminal.
+- [x] Post-readiness crash control observed terminal.
+- [x] Discrimination verdict recorded: Option B may proceed.
+- [x] Conditional exemption implementation.
+
+## Tests / evidence
+
+### Control 1 — real startup failure
+
+- Commit: `3931b0e29eb834914f7b17e4db7e221481d436fa`
+- Pipeline: #2189, exact commit match.
+- Full JSON child scan: 9 total — 7 success, 2 failure, 0 skipped/pending/running.
+- `ci-postgres`: `state=failure`, `exit_code=1`, `error=null`, with a five-second execution window.
+- `test`: `state=failure`, `exit_code=1` after the readiness budget expired.
+- Pipeline/workflow: terminal `failure`.
+
+This control is red and its service record differs from #1000 (`exit_code=0` plus pod-not-found). It proves the startup-failure direction only. It does not settle the dangerous post-readiness crash/garbage-collection path.
+
+### Control 2 — real post-readiness crash
+
+- Commit: `25ac59715a94dd1b52ef42577472eb44ecc4b446`
+- Pipeline: #2191, exact commit match.
+- Full JSON child scan: 9 total — 7 success, 2 failure, 0 skipped/pending/running.
+- Service log proves PostgreSQL reached `database system is ready to accept connections`, the test created the arm table, and the service then killed postmaster PID 7.
+- Test log proves a successful `SELECT 1` followed by `Connection refused`; it exited the pre-registered control code 61.
+- `ci-postgres`: `state=failure`, `exit_code=137`, `error=null`, with a 203-second execution window.
+- `test`: `state=failure`, `exit_code=61`.
+- Pipeline/workflow: terminal `failure`.
+
+This is the dangerous post-readiness crash path. Its service record is not pod-not-found and therefore differs from #1000 independently of the dependent test failure.
+
+### Discrimination verdict
+
+Both real failures are provider-visible as process exits (`exit_code=1` startup; `exit_code=137` crash) with no pod-not-found error. The seven observed #1000 artifacts are provider reconciliation misses (`exit_code=0` plus the exact pod-not-found error). The declared kill criterion did not fire, so Option B may proceed with a matcher requiring the full conjunction. This evidence does **not** prove every future Kubernetes failure is distinguishable; it proves these two concrete real-failure classes remain blocking and bounds the exemption to the observed reconciliation shape.
+
+### Unit red-first checkpoint
+
+The nine-case contract harness was written before the verifier. First execution exited 1 because `verify-terminal-green.py` did not exist; no exemption implementation was live. Cases pre-register ordinary green, the exact artifact, both provider controls, near-miss signatures, an independent failure, and a skipped step.
+
+### Control 2 setup attempt — invalid, excluded from evidence
+
+- Commit: `9455cd6a2650b2b7e70f746c07933d96e5cb3d20`
+- Pipeline: #2190, exact commit match.
+- Full JSON child scan: 9 total — 7 success, 2 failure, 0 skipped/pending/running.
+- Service log: `/bin/sh: 0: -c requires an argument`.
+- Root cause: Woodpecker service `commands` did not become the third `sh -c` argument. PostgreSQL never started, so this run is **not** the post-readiness crash control and provides no discrimination evidence.
+- Focused remediation: place the script directly in the third `entrypoint` element and supply `PGPASSWORD` for the marker query. This is a control-fixture correction, not a retry of #1000 and not evidence for either verdict.
+
+## Implementation evidence
+
+- `verify-terminal-green.py` consumes only the full JSON/API record; it performs no fetch, retry, or trigger.
+- Exact #2188 record: exit 0, 10 children, 9 success + 1 named exemption.
+- Historical set: #2158/#2167/#2184/#2186 pass with no exemption; #2170/#2175/#2182/#2187/#2188 pass with one named exemption; #2180/#2181 remain red because independent failures exist.
+- Provider controls: #2189 and #2191 both exit 1 under the verifier; neither is exempted.
+- Unit harness: initial 9/9 cases passed after the red-first checkpoint; review remediation expands this to 12 cases with expected-head match/missing/mismatch coverage.
+- Test-membership guard: PASS, population 45; 26 enumerated, 19 signed exclusions; all 39 surface paths present.
+- Python compile: PASS.
+- `pnpm typecheck`: PASS, 45/45 tasks.
+- `pnpm lint`: PASS, 25/25 tasks.
+- `pnpm format:check`: PASS after moving local evidence outside the repository tree.
+- `test:framework-shell`: RM-61 and all preceding suites passed, then the pre-existing wake assertion aborted with exit 97 because this host's Bash 5.2.15 reports `BASH_LINENO [3 5]` where that suite requires `[3 4]`. RM-61 does not modify the wake suite; the command is not fully runnable on this host as written and no substitute result is claimed.
+
+## Independent review
+
+- Review 67 / comment 20403 at exact head `e7b29219e11efd0a19395156ac0b154bec0c3a73`: **REQUEST CHANGES**.
+- Blocker: the verifier echoed the pipeline commit but did not bind it to the current PR head; mutating only #2188's commit still returned terminal-green.
+- Remediation: require `--expect-commit <full-40>`, add a pipeline anomaly on missing/mismatched record commits, emit expected and observed values, wire both CI documentation and the merge-gate baseline to pass provider PR head, and add match/missing/mismatch tests.
+- This binding is not prohibited head-based clustering policy: it proves the evidence belongs to the commit under verdict. Runner/node/time/head correlation remains excluded from the teardown signature itself.
+- Review 69 later approved the commit-binding remediation at exact head `033b2ffb46674b2c0bcc5197273c109b461f62d9`; pipeline #2193 was 9/9 success. Before merge-gate, an independent adjudicator found that Python treats JSON `false == 0`, allowing a non-integer exit value to match. The prior gate-ready state was withdrawn. The type-strict set distinguishes genuine red-first controls (`false`, `0.0`, which wrongly exempted) from regression guards (`true`, `"0"`, `null`, which already blocked). Remediation requires the decoded type to be exactly `int` and excludes `bool` explicitly.
+
+## Documentation checklist
+
+- [x] CI contract documented in the canonical framework CI/CD guide.
+- [x] Operator command documented in the Woodpecker tool README.
+- [x] Merge-gate baseline points to the deterministic verifier and named retirement.
+- [x] Tracking and retirement cite issue #1000.
+- [x] Both positive and negative guarantee boundaries are stated.
+- [x] No API/auth/schema/user-facing navigation change; OpenAPI, user guide, and sitemap are not applicable.
+
+## Risks
+
+The controls establish discrimination for deterministic startup failure and an armed post-readiness postmaster crash on the current Woodpecker Kubernetes provider. They cannot prove that every future Kubernetes failure mode will preserve a non-zero exit before reconciliation. The exact matcher minimizes that residual risk, and issue #1000 remains the mandatory provider-seam closure and retirement trigger.

+2. Return one `_source: "local"` tagged item on success.
+3. Return federation error envelopes:
+   - `404 not_found` when the resource id does not exist.
+   - `403 scope_violation` when the row exists but falls outside native RBAC/scope intersection.
+   - `400 invalid_request` for malformed ids/scope requests.

+# 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.

+# B2 — Fresh-install skills sync path
+
+## Problem
+
+Greenfield wizard on `next` reported:
+
+```text
+Skills sync script not found at ~/.config/mosaic/bin/mosaic-sync-skills
+Skills: install failed
+```
+
+## Diagnosis
+
+The framework install migration removed the legacy `~/.config/mosaic/bin/` directory and now installs framework helper scripts under:
+
+```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`
+- Gates: `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm lint`, `pnpm format:check`, `pnpm build`
+- 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.
+- Targeted: `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test -- unified-wizard finalize-skills`
+- `pnpm format:check`
+- `pnpm typecheck`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `pnpm build`
+- `pnpm test`
+- Codex code review: approve.
+- Codex security review: one low finding on the requested Pi `curl | sh` install hint; no security finding in the wizard completion-ordering change.

+# 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`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `pnpm build`
+- `pnpm test`
+- Codex code review: approve.
