-## Architecture Rules
+### Package Map

-1. Gateway is the single API surface — all clients connect through it
-2. Pi SDK is ESM-only — gateway and CLI must use ESM
-3. Socket.IO typed events defined in `@mosaicstack/types` enforce compile-time contracts
-4. OTEL auto-instrumentation loads before NestJS bootstrap
-5. BetterAuth manages auth tables; schema defined in `@mosaicstack/db`
-6. Docker Compose provides PG (5433), Valkey (6380), OTEL Collector (4317/4318), Jaeger (16686)
-7. Explicit `@Inject()` decorators required in NestJS (tsx/esbuild doesn't emit decorator metadata)

+
+## Architecture and Code Conventions
+
+1. Gateway is the single API surface; all clients connect through it.
+2. Pi SDK is ESM-only; gateway and CLI code must remain ESM.
+3. Use `"type": "module"`, NodeNext module resolution, and `.js` extensions in imports.
+4. Keep typed Socket.IO events in `@mosaicstack/types` to enforce client/server contracts.
+5. Import OTEL tracing before NestJS bootstrap (`import './tracing.js'`).
+6. Use explicit `@Inject()` decorators in NestJS because tsx/esbuild does not emit decorator metadata.
+7. Keep DTOs in `*.dto.ts` files at module boundaries.
+8. BetterAuth owns authentication tables; their schema is defined in `@mosaicstack/db`.
+9. Create a task-specific scratchpad for non-trivial work.

 ## Development Workflow

+Requirements: Node.js 20+, pnpm 10.6.2, and Docker Compose when optional local services are needed.
+
 ```bash
-docker compose up -d          # Infrastructure
-pnpm install                  # Dependencies
-pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm format:check  # Quality gates
+pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+pnpm preflight
+
+# Optional local queue service only; do not start the full Compose stack.
+docker compose up -d valkey
 ```

-## Repo-Specific Notes
+The pre-push hook requires:

- DTOs in `*.dto.ts` files at module boundaries
- ESM everywhere (`"type": "module"`, `.js` extensions in imports)
- NodeNext module resolution in all tsconfigs
- Scratchpads are mandatory for non-trivial tasks
+```bash
+pnpm preflight && pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm format:check
+```
+
+Software delivery also requires the applicable tests. Common repository commands are:
+
+```bash
+pnpm typecheck     # TypeScript checks across the workspace
+pnpm lint          # ESLint across the workspace
+pnpm test          # Checkout tests and package Vitest suites
+pnpm format:check  # Prettier check
+pnpm build         # Build all packages and applications
+```
+
+## Database and Local Runtime Safety
+
+- Current local data-layer work uses in-process PGlite; leave `DATABASE_URL` unset.
+- PostgreSQL execution is held until KBN-101-00, KBN-101-03, and KBN-101-05 land.
+- Do not invoke a migration runner, initialization SQL, or the Compose PostgreSQL service from this checkout.
+- Do not start Gateway/Web or run root `pnpm dev` as a local PGlite route. The current dotenv loader can inherit a daemon PostgreSQL DSN; KBN-101-02 must make that path fail closed first.
+- Migration artifact generation is offline and does not authorize PostgreSQL access:
+
+```bash
+pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/db db:generate
+```

+# 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` 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.

+# CI Queue Guard Purpose Semantics
+
+- **Issue:** #1146
+- **Target branch:** `next`
+
+## Problem
+
+`ci-queue-wait.sh` treats any result other than terminal success as asserted non-readiness. That is correct for merge readiness, but incorrect for the pre-push queue guard: a terminal failure or an empty status set means no pipeline is queued or running, so the queue is clear.
+
+## Design
+
+Make final-state handling purpose-sensitive while preserving the existing provider and payload safeguards:
+
+- `--purpose push`
+  - wait while state is `pending`;
+  - return success for `terminal-success`, `terminal-failure`, and `no-status`;
+  - continue rejecting `malformed`, `unknown`, and unrecognized states.
+- `--purpose merge`
+  - return success only for `terminal-success`;
+  - continue rejecting `terminal-failure`, `no-status`, malformed, unknown, and unrecognized states.
+- `--require-status` remains authoritative: `no-status` fails for either purpose when it is supplied.
+
+Diagnostics will explicitly distinguish a queue-clear push result from successful CI so callers cannot mistake an old failure for a green pipeline.
+
+## Testing
+
+Extend the process-level tri-state regression harness with separate push and merge assertions:
+
+1. Push passes for terminal success, terminal failure, and no status.
+2. Push still fails for pending, malformed, and unknown states.
+3. `--require-status` makes push/no-status fail.
+4. Merge behavior remains fail-closed except for terminal success.
+5. Existing provider-unavailable audit behavior remains unchanged.

+# CI Queue Guard Purpose Semantics Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Make the pre-push CI queue guard pass when no pipeline is queued or running while preserving fail-closed merge readiness.
+
+**Architecture:** Keep provider lookup and tri-state classification unchanged. Make only the final state dispatch purpose-sensitive: push treats valid non-pending states as queue-clear, while merge continues to require terminal success. Preserve `--require-status`, malformed-payload rejection, unknown-state rejection, and audited provider-unavailable behavior.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Bash, process-level shell regression harnesses, Gitea/GitHub status APIs.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Freeze Purpose-Specific State Semantics
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh`
+- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh`
+
+**Step 1: Add failing push assertions**
+
+Change push expectations so `terminal-failure` and `no-status` require exit 0 plus an explicit `queue-clear` diagnostic. Add a `--require-status` assertion that keeps push/no-status non-zero.
+
+**Step 2: Add failing merge assertions**
+
+Invoke the same harness with `MOSAIC_TEST_PURPOSE=merge` and assert terminal failure and no status remain non-zero while terminal success remains zero.
+
+**Step 3: Add unknown-state coverage**
+
+Add a stub payload with a syntactically valid but unsupported status value and assert both purposes reject it.
+
+**Step 4: Run the focused test and verify RED**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
+```
+
+Expected: failures showing push terminal-failure and no-status returned exit 3 instead of exit 0 or lacked `queue-clear` diagnostics.
+
+**Step 5: Commit the failing tests**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
+git commit -m "test(ci): define purpose-aware queue readiness"
+```
+
+### Task 2: Implement Purpose-Sensitive Final-State Dispatch
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh:458-481`
+- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh`
+- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh`
+
+**Step 1: Implement push queue-clear behavior**
+
+For `no-status`, retain the existing `--require-status` failure. Otherwise, return success for push with an explicit diagnostic such as:
+
+```text
+[ci-queue-wait] queue-clear state=no-status purpose=push branch=<branch>; no queued or running CI.
+```
+
+For `terminal-failure`, return success only for push with the same queue-clear wording. Merge must continue returning asserted non-readiness.
+
+**Step 2: Preserve malformed and unknown rejection**
+
+Keep `malformed`, `unknown`, and unrecognized states non-zero for both purposes.
+
+**Step 3: Run focused tests and verify GREEN**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh
+```
+
+Expected: both scripts exit 0 and report their regression suites passed.
+
+**Step 4: Commit implementation**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh
+git commit -m "fix(ci): separate push queue clearance from merge readiness"
+```
+
+### Task 3: Verify, Review, and Document Evidence
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `docs/scratchpads/1146-ci-queue-purpose.md`
+
+**Step 1: Run shell syntax and focused regressions**
+
+```bash

+
+**Step 2: Run repository quality gates**
+
+```bash
+pnpm preflight
+pnpm typecheck
+pnpm lint
+pnpm test
+pnpm format:check
+```
+
+Expected: every command exits 0.
+
+**Step 3: Obtain independent review**
+
+Request review of the exact branch head. Remediate all blocking findings and rerun focused and baseline gates.
+
+**Step 4: Record evidence and commit**
+
+Update the scratchpad with test output, review result, and residual risk, then commit it:
+
+```bash
+git add docs/scratchpads/1146-ci-queue-purpose.md
+git commit -m "docs(ci): record queue guard verification"
+```
+
+### Task 4: Keep the Merge Wrapper Aligned with the `next` Lane
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-merge.sh:97-101`
+- Test: `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-head-pin.sh`
+
+**Step 1: Write the failing regression**
+
+Run the exact-head merge regression with its Gitea fixture targeting `next` and confirm the current wrapper rejects it because it only permits `main`.
+
+**Step 2: Allow only documented integration targets**
+
+Permit `main` and `next`; reject every other target. Do not alter exact-head pinning, queue-guard invocation, provider selection, or merge method enforcement.
+
+**Step 3: Run focused merge regressions**
+
+```bash
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-head-pin.sh
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-queue-branch.sh
+bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-gitea-empty-uid.sh
+```
+
+Expected: all pass, including a Gitea merge fixture targeting `next`.
+
+**Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/pr-merge.sh packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-head-pin.sh
+git commit -m "fix(ci): allow reviewed merges into next"
+```
+
+### Task 5: Activate and Deliver Through `next`
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Installed output: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh`
+
+**Step 1: Activate through the canonical installer**
+
+From the reviewed worktree, run the framework installer in sync-only keep mode so operator files remain protected:
+
+```bash
+MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY=1 MOSAIC_INSTALL_MODE=keep MOSAIC_SKIP_SKILLS_SYNC=1 \
+  bash packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh

+```bash
+cmp -s \
+  packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh \
+  ~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh
+```
+
+Expected: exit 0.
+
+**Step 3: Run mandatory pre-push queue guard**
+
+```bash
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose push -B fix/1146-ci-queue-purpose
+```
+
+Expected: branch-absent or queue-clear success.
+
+**Step 4: Push and open a PR against `next`**
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin fix/1146-ci-queue-purpose
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/pr-create.sh \
+  -t "fix(ci): make queue guard purpose-sensitive" \
+  -b "Closes #1146" \
+  -B next \
+  -H fix/1146-ci-queue-purpose \
+  -i 1146
+```
+
+**Step 5: Complete reviewed integration**

+Wait for exact-head terminal-green CI, obtain the required review, merge via the Mosaic wrapper, verify merged CI, and close #1146. Do not bypass any gate.

-| **A2** | **Absent/stale target:** if `refs/remotes/origin/main` is missing, stale, or the fetch is shallow, does it fail CLOSED (line 57 suggests it does) or silently derive a narrower range?                                                                                                                                                                                    |
-| **A3** | **Delayed introduction — the round-2 attack, re-run.** Commit a gate change BEFORE adding the manifest. Does it now stay in range and fail the own-tree read?                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
-| **A4** | **Branch from an old main:** branch from a point far behind `origin/main`, so merge-base is old. Does the range widen correctly (safe) or include unrelated main commits that cannot carry manifests (a new false-red)? Over-inclusion is the natural failure mode of this fix.                                                                                           |

-## 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.**

If the derivation is gameable, blocker 1 is not fixed, only relocated. |

-**Subject head (exact):** `e910a45ab3578a9c77ad3eeaa52b31b72611f6c6`
-**Supersedes:** the third NO-GO at `fbb61912` (D-45/D-46/D-47) and the D-52 stop. Those are VOID.
-**Registered by:** `mos-remediation` before any reviewer read the diff. **Reviewer:** `rev-974`.
-
-## Already reproduced by the orchestrator (do not re-spend here)
-
- The required narrowing sentence is **verbatim** in `gates/required-gates.baseline.json` and in
-  `scripts/gate-inventory-claim-control.mjs`: _"Detects accidental and incompetent inventory drift
-  within a checkout; does NOT survive an adversary who rewrites baseline, manifest, and verifier
-  consistently — that guarantee requires RM-60's external boundary."_
- **The overclaim control FIRES**: clean ⇒ exit 0; injecting "protected, independently anchored" into
-  the baseline purpose ⇒ **exit 84**, `INVENTORY_CLAIM_OVERSTATED`.
- CI #2201 at the exact head, 10/10 incl. `clone`; machine check bound, `exempted_steps 0`, no anomalies.

-## N — the narrowing (D-52's ruling is the wording)

-| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| **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.                                                                                             |

-| ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **H1** | Is the verifier **structurally incapable** of reporting history-provenance-verified, or merely not currently doing so? The manifest says "structurally incapable" — test the claim.                  |
-| **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.                               |
-| **H3** | ★ **TRAP 2 re-check:** the exclusion is **enforced**, not merely declared in `coverageBoundary.excluded`. Re-enable history provenance without a trustworthy anchor — does a registered case go RED? |
-| **H4** | The residual is stated **correctly** — no local git state is trustworthy because PR code executes before the gate — **NOT** the D-48 wording ("compromised main").                                   |

-**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.

-## ★ 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**.

-| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **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.                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

-## 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.
- `mergeable` is now **true**.

-| **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.                                                                                                   |

-| **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`).                                                                                 |
-| **R5** | The guard's **exit-asserting non-null-case** tests are genuine — each fails for its own stated reason against pre-fix code, not merely present (D-8).                                                                                                                             |
-| **R6** | `test:framework-shell` is **runnable to completion in CI** (canonical env). Known: it exits 97 on some hosts via a Bash 5.2.15 `BASH_LINENO` assertion — if you hit that, report it as an environment limitation, do not treat it as a finding and do not let it mask one.        |
-| **R7** | Exact-head CI terminal-green, full `-f json`, counts stated incl. `clone`; machine-checked with `--expect-commit 868b9b871a5118762aa5b8aafecd2f0592f7ab5c`.                                                                                                                       |

-
-**Subject head (exact):** `033b2ffb46674b2c0bcc5197273c109b461f62d9`
-**Supersedes:** review 67 / comment 20403 @ `e7b29219` (NO GO). That verdict is VOID — the head moved.

-
-## 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).

-Verdict bound to the NEW head, evidence enumerated per check, CI counts from `pipeline-status.sh -f json`

-nobody had registered a check for. That is now the expectation, not a bonus.

 ### **D-4 / P-LIFECYCLE + hygiene — a dispatched agent silently IGNORED an in-message context reset.**

 planner-sol was at 64.3%/372k; the brief asked it to reset first; it began work on dirty context anyway. Only an out-of-band `/new` driven by the orchestrator guaranteed clean state. Confirms the postmortem thesis: **instructions are not enforcement.** Reset must be a mechanical pre-dispatch step, not a request.

-### **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.

-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.

-
-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.

 # 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.

-
-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.

 ## Fleet seats

-Roster rolled verbatim to [`BOARD-LEDGER.md`](./BOARD-LEDGER.md); live truth is `mosaic fleet ps`.

 ## 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)

+### **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.

+# #1146 — CI Queue Guard Purpose Semantics
+
+## Objective
+
+Make the pre-push queue guard wait for queued/running CI without requiring the previous remote head to have successful CI. Preserve fail-closed merge readiness.
+
+## Scope
+
+- `packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh`
+- focused queue-guard regression tests
+- design and scratchpad documentation
+- local framework activation required before the fixed guard can authorize this branch's push
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Freeze purpose-specific behavior in failing process-level tests.
+2. Implement the smallest state-dispatch change.
+3. Run focused shell tests and repository quality gates.
+4. Obtain independent review and remediate findings.
+5. Install the reviewed framework source locally, run the mandatory pre-push queue guard, and push.
+6. Open a PR against `next`, verify terminal-green CI, and close #1146 after merge.
+
+## Budget
+
+- ASSUMPTION: no explicit token cap was provided.
+- Working estimate: 12K tokens.
+- Scope reduction: change only final-state dispatch and focused tests; do not redesign provider adapters.
+
+## Progress
+
+- Confirmed source and installed guards are byte-identical.
+- Reproduced `terminal-failure` blocking `--purpose push`.
+- Root cause: final-state dispatch requires terminal success for both push and merge.
+- Design approved: push is queue-clear on valid non-pending states; merge remains fail-closed.
+
+## Tests
+
+- RED confirmed before implementation: the focused tri-state harness reported push `terminal-failure` and `no-status` as `ASSERTED_NOT_READY`.
+- GREEN: `bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh` — all outcome classes passed.
+- GREEN: `bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh` — 6/6 purpose-aware cases passed.
+- GREEN: `bash -n` passed for the changed guard and both focused harnesses.
+- GREEN: `pnpm preflight`, `pnpm typecheck`, and `pnpm lint` passed.
+- `pnpm test` ran 45/46 workspace test tasks successfully, but the pre-existing Gateway `cross-user-isolation.test.ts` failed during cleanup with PostgreSQL error `28P01` (local `mosaic` password authentication failure). The changed Mosaic framework test task passed within that run.
+- GREEN: focused queue and merge shell regressions passed after the wrapper change.
+- GREEN: isolated Mosaic Vitest run passed (81 files, 1,514 tests).
+- The normal parallel Mosaic Vitest run has an environment-sensitive pre-existing failure in `install-ordering-guard.spec.ts`: the real activation probe changes between two calls while other suites run concurrently. Running the same spec alone and the complete Vitest suite with one fork passes.
+- The framework shell suite's pre-existing `version_coupling_unittest.py` also fails locally because the newly installed `mosaic` is now on PATH despite the test injecting a nonexistent PATH; CI's clean image does not have this global CLI. All changed queue/merge harnesses pass.
+- GREEN: `pnpm format:check` passed.
+- Note: an additional ad hoc Prettier command was not applicable to shell files because Prettier has no shell parser; the repository-wide format check passed using its configured file globs.

+## Review

+- Independent Codex review of the six-file diff: approved, confidence 0.84, zero blockers/should-fix/suggestions.
+- Review confirmed push queue-clear behavior, merge fail-closed behavior, and `--require-status` coverage.
+
+## Risks and Blockers
+
+- Canonical framework activation completed with `MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY=1 MOSAIC_INSTALL_MODE=keep MOSAIC_SKIP_SKILLS_SYNC=1 bash packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh`.
+- Source and installed queue guards are byte-identical (`cmp` and SHA-256 parity passed).
+- The installed pre-push guard now passes for the not-yet-remote feature branch with `queue clear`.
+- The required merge wrapper then exposed a second bootstrap defect: `pr-merge.sh` hardcoded `main`, contradicting the documented PR-based `next` integration lane. Tracked as #1149 and fixed in the same delivery branch with a regression fixture targeting `next`.
+- Activation emitted the existing manifest-safety warning that six `fleet/run/*.hb*` operator files were touched then restored; no data loss was observed, but this remains a pre-existing framework-manifest defect to report separately.
+- The first activation attempt timed out after 600 seconds while copying the 113K-file operator snapshot; the bounded 1,800-second retry completed successfully. It left a partial durable snapshot from the interrupted attempt in the normal backup directory; the completed snapshot is the newer `pre-update-20260810T195317Z` entry.
+- Full baseline test completion is blocked by the unrelated local PostgreSQL authentication/cleanup failure described above; CI has its own disposable PostgreSQL service.
+- Existing `.mosaic/orchestrator/*` working-tree changes are unrelated and must remain unstaged.

+# 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.

+```text
+Skills sync script not found at ~/.config/mosaic/bin/mosaic-sync-skills

+```
+
+`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.

+# 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`.

+# 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.

+- Base: `origin/next` (`838701bd` after M3-06/#683 merge)
+- PR base when unblocked: `next`
+
+## Scope
+
+- Real PostgreSQL via `@mosaicstack/db`.
+- Mocked TLS context / Fastify request shim for `FederationAuthGuard`.
+- Direct controller calls using the real M3 route contract: `POST /api/federation/v1/list/:resource` with body `{ limit?, cursor? }`.

+
+## Fixture notes
+
+Aligned with the B2 seed design vocabulary:
+
+- `tasks` visibility uses personal `projects` + `missions` chain.
+- `notes` are `mission_tasks.notes`; the integration suite asserts subject-only note visibility on an authorized mission.
+- Seed includes a second user and unauthorized team/project tasks to prove exclusion from the max-row-cap list result.

+
+1. M3 #6 — cert missing Mosaic OIDs returns 401 federation `unauthorized` envelope.
+2. M3 #6 — valid cert whose grant row is `revoked` returns 403 federation `forbidden` envelope.
+3. M3 #7 — active grant with `max_rows_per_query: 2` caps `list tasks`, returns `_truncated` + `nextCursor`, source-tags rows, and excludes other-user / unauthorized-team tasks.
+4. Cross-user notes invariant — subject can list their own `mission_tasks.notes` row while another user's note on the same authorized mission is excluded.
+5. Unsupported-resource invariant — `list widgets` fails closed with a federation `scope_violation` envelope.

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

+# RM-01 — Reproducible checkout
+
+- Task/ref: RM-01 (`docs/remediation/TASKS.md`, internal mission tracking)
+- Objective: make checkout/install/typecheck hooks fail on code rather than environmental residue, for root CI and non-root seats.
+- Scope: pnpm store configuration, transactional Husky installation, dependency/generated-state preflight, checkout regression tests, developer documentation.
+- Constraints: isolated worktree; no skip-switch fixes; no writes under `/root` or `/tmp`; workers do not edit `docs/remediation/TASKS.md`; author does not review or merge.
+- Acceptance: AC1–AC8 from the orchestrator dispatch/addendum.
+- Plan:
+  1. Add RED-first tests for missing dependencies, stale/foreign `.next`, and interrupted hook installation.
+  2. Implement environment-overridable HOME-based pnpm store defaults, deterministic preflight, and transactional hook installation.
+  3. Run focused tests, install/build/baseline gates, and explicit AC negative controls.
+  4. Obtain independent review, push after queue guard, open PR, and send evidence to `mos-remediation`.
+- Budget: orchestrator estimate 6K/60K; no explicit hard token cap. Keep scope to RM-01 and avoid unrelated cleanup.
+- Risks: 97%-full shared `/tmp`; native dependency install size; root-owned fixtures may require Docker for realistic verification.
+
+## Progress / evidence
+
+- Worktree created at `/home/hermes/agent-work/rm-01` from `origin/main` `06e0d403`.
+- `/tmp` baseline: 28G used, 889M available (97%); worktree and planned store are on `/home`.
+- Root causes confirmed from source: committed `.npmrc` pins `/root`; `prepare` invokes Husky directly; web typecheck includes generated `.next` types without validating ownership/freshness.
+
+## Checkpoint evidence (c45e5e19)
+
+- AC1 IN PROGRESS: non-root `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --store-dir "$HOME/.local/share/pnpm/store"` exited 0; `pnpm exec turbo run typecheck --force` exited 0 (45/45 uncached). Clean CI-container run not performed.
+- AC2 DONE: with `node_modules` absent, `pnpm preflight` exited 42 with `MOSAIC_PREFLIGHT_MISSING_DEPS` and `run pnpm install`; after install it exited 0.
+- AC3 DONE: appending `export const x: number = "s"` to `packages/types/src/index.ts` made `pnpm -w typecheck` exit 2 with TS2322; reverting made it exit 0.
+- AC4 IN PROGRESS: local `pnpm -w build` exited 0 and `git status --porcelain` showed no generated residue beyond the intended RM-01 source changes. Fresh-clone proof not performed.
+- AC5 DONE: non-root install exited 0; `pnpm store path` resolved `/home/hermes/.local/share/pnpm/store/v10`; no `/root` write was attempted.
+- AC6 IN PROGRESS: focused failure/rollback tests passed, but final review found a concurrent-install race. Two installers can both observe `.husky/_` absent; after one installs successfully, the losing install's catch path can quarantine the winner's active hooks and restore stale Git config (`scripts/install-hooks.mjs`, activation/catch transaction). A RED regression is committed after the checkpoint.
+- AC7 DONE: install/store/worktree were on `/home`; full `pnpm -w build` exited 0; `/tmp` usage changed by 4096 bytes during the build (23,805,173,760 → 23,805,177,856 bytes), not materially.
+- AC8 DONE for the implemented path: store resolves under `$HOME`; test/quarantine/build state resolves under the worktree; no implemented component requires a writable path outside `$HOME` or the worktree.
+
+## Continuation evidence
+
+- AC6 DONE: the committed race reproducer was observed RED (`node --test --test-name-pattern='a competing successful installer is not removed by the losing process' scripts/install-hooks.test.mjs`, exit 1/ENOENT), then passed after cleanup became ownership-safe. The losing installer never removes an active hook set or restores Git configuration it did not activate. `pnpm test:checkout` passes 21/21, exit 0, including the original race and a post-rename peer-replacement regression.
+- Generated-state remediation: replaced mtime inference with a source/build-input fingerprint, written only after a serialized successful Next build with unchanged inputs. Failed/interrupted/overlapping builds leave no trusted marker. The fingerprint uses Next's own environment loader, covers resolved `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` values, inherited TypeScript configuration, lock/workspace inputs, and rejects symlink inputs.
+- Baseline: `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm lint`, and `pnpm format:check` each exit 0. Local `pnpm test` still exits 97 only at the pre-existing Bash `BASH_LINENO` convention guard (#973/#1003), after checkout tests and package tests pass; this is not reported as a green full-suite result.
+- Automated review remediation: resolved findings for peer-hook ownership, stale/failed build markers, build-input changes, expanded environment inputs, inherited TypeScript config, symlink inputs, and overlapping build serialization. Independent PR review remains assigned to rev-974.
+- AC1 DONE at `0f706119`: a clean clone created inside `git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/ci-base:latest` ran the exact acceptance sequence `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm -w typecheck`; exit 0 with 45/45 uncached typecheck tasks successful. An earlier bind-mounted clone attempt exited 1 because root in the container rejected the host-owned Git directory; that failed attempt is not counted as evidence.
+- AC4 DONE at `0f706119`: in that same fresh clone and CI image, `pnpm -w build` completed 25/25 tasks and the immediately following `git status --porcelain` was empty; combined assertion exit 0.
+- Push BLOCKED after the required queue guard: `git push origin fix/rm-01-reproducible-checkout` was rejected by Gitea with `User permission denied for writing` / `pre-receive hook declined`, despite `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=f10-coder` resolving username `f10-coder` from the provisioned `gitea-mosaicstack-f10-coder.token`.
+
+## Review remediation — restated AC2
+
+- Independent review correctly found that an added symlink under a successfully built `.next` tree passed preflight. The exact reviewer control, `ln -s /etc/hosts apps/web/.next/reviewer-symlink && pnpm preflight`, was observed passing before remediation.
+- The original blanket symlink wording conflicts with AC4 because canonical Next `output: 'standalone'` emits legitimate pnpm dependency symlinks. The coordinator independently verified 42 such links and approved the operative restatement: `.next` itself must not be a symlink; descendant symlinks must exactly match the successful build's certified manifest.
+- RED-first controls were observed failing together against the prior implementation (exit 1): `.next` root, added, removed, retargeted, tampered-manifest, and canonical-style certified-link cases. The build now publishes the manifest atomically before the existing source certification commit marker; that marker binds the manifest SHA-256. Missing/partial/modified manifests remain untrusted.
+- GREEN evidence: the six-case symlink control passes; the exact reviewer-added link exits 43; removing it restores preflight exit 0. The added RED-first build-publication control also proves a symlinked `.next` cannot redirect certification writes outside the checkout. `pnpm test:checkout` passes 23 top-level tests / 29 including subtests. Canonical `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/web build` and the following `pnpm preflight` both exit 0.
+- Threat-model ruling: the manifest detects accidental, independent, stale, and foreign-residue mutation—the class exposed by the five-month-stale `.next` that produced 19 phantom TS2307 errors. It does not defend against a same-UID actor able to rewrite both manifest and marker consistently (CWE-345); no local worktree construction can without an external trust anchor. RM-59 tracks the residual: executor/spine-side attestation outside worktree authority, dependent on RM-12, RM-21, and RM-25.
+- AC8 concrete proof at `df7530ae`: a clean clone ran in `ci-base:latest` with Docker `--read-only`; its only writable mounts were `/workspace` (the worktree) and `/home/ci` (`HOME`, with `NPM_CONFIG_STORE_DIR=/home/ci/store`). `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm -w typecheck` exited 0 with 45/45 uncached tasks. This proves the implemented checkout path requires no writable location outside `$HOME` and the worktree. An initial fixture attempt failed only because Git required `/workspace` safe-directory setup; it is not counted as evidence.
+
+## Handoff
+
+1. Keep the newly committed RED tests red until implementing: (a) source-fingerprint marker support for valid incremental `.next` output, and (b) ownership-safe concurrent hook activation.
+2. The latest automated review rejected oldest-generated-file mtime as a false positive for valid incremental Next output. Use a source-content fingerprint marker written only after successful `next build`; do not continue tuning mtimes.
+3. For Husky, generation in an isolated temporary Git repo avoids mutating real `core.hooksPath` during staging. Preserve that design. Fix the losing concurrent process so it never removes a peer's completed hook set or restores stale config.
+4. Codex review runs in a read-only sandbox, so its attempts to run the fixture-writing Node tests report opaque test-file failures. The same tests run normally in the worktree.
+5. Full `pnpm test` is not green on this host: it exits 97 at the pre-existing Bash `BASH_LINENO` convention guard (#1003), after the changed checkout tests and package tests pass. Do not weaken that gate.

+# RM-03 — CI Queue Guard Repair
+
+- **Task:** RM-03
+- **Issue:** #1019
+- **Branch:** `fix/rm-03-queue-guard`
+- **Owner:** coder-mos1
+- **Reviewer:** rev-974 (independent; author != reviewer)
+- **Started:** 2026-08-01
+
+## Objective
+
+Repair the mandatory CI queue guard so it reads provider payloads, blocks asserted non-green CI, distinguishes provider unavailability from a real non-green result, and inspects the branch actually being pushed or merged.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Worktree only: `/home/hermes/agent-work/rm-03`; never mutate `/src/mosaic-stack`.
+- JSON payload travels through stdin; never argv. Large payload must remain below no ARG_MAX dependency.
+- TDD is mandatory. Every behavior case must be observed red before implementation.
+- No bypass flags or hook suppression.
+- Do not cite the existing guard's green as evidence; D-23 establishes it is zero-information.
+- Gate-ready is a frozen exact head. Any push after a merge-gate verdict voids that verdict.
+- No merge: coordinator holds the merge hand pending Jason.
+
+## Design
+
+1. Feed JSON to `python3 -c` on stdin, including pending-context rendering.
+2. Classify valid green as `READY`; pending/failure/no-status/malformed/mixed as `ASSERTED_NOT_READY`; provider/credential/transport inability as `CANNOT_ASSERT`.
+3. `ASSERTED_NOT_READY` exits nonzero. `CANNOT_ASSERT` emits a loud diagnostic and appends a local JSONL audit record. Push degrades to exit 0; merge holds with distinct retryable exit 75 until provider recovery, then self-clears without manual reset. Inability to write the audit exits nonzero.
+4. Derive the current branch when `-B` is omitted. The merge wrapper passes the exact PR head branch, repository, and full commit SHA—not its `main` base—so fork PRs cannot resolve against an adjacent base-repository branch.
+
+## Test matrix
+
+| Case | Required outcome |
+| --- | --- |
+| success | exit 0; terminal-success |
+| pending | nonzero after bounded timeout |
+| failure | nonzero |
+| no-status | nonzero |
+| malformed | nonzero |
+| >=150 KiB payload | unchanged classification; never rc126 |
+| provider unreachable on push | loud audited CANNOT_ASSERT; degraded exit 0 |
+| provider unreachable on merge | loud audited CANNOT_ASSERT; retryable exit 75/HOLD |
+| audit unavailable | nonzero |
+| implicit push branch | provider URL uses checked-out feature branch |
+| merge wrapper | queue guard receives exact PR head branch/repository/full SHA |
+
+## RED-first evidence
+
+Observed against the unmodified `origin/main` implementation before source edits:
+
+- `bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh` → rc 1 with 15 failed assertions.
+- Success payload was reported `state=unknown`.
+- Pending, failure, no-status, and malformed payloads each exited 0 and omitted `ASSERTED_NOT_READY`.
+- The 160 KiB payload produced rc 141 because Python never consumed the pipe; it did not classify success.
+- Provider-unreachable exited 7 with no `CANNOT_ASSERT` audit record.
+- Implicit push queried `/branches/main`, not `/branches/fix/rm-03-fixture`.
+- Audit-unavailable emitted no audit diagnostic.
+- A credential-resolution hard-block mutant was then run before trusting that added case: `credential-unresolvable` returned rc 1 and omitted `CANNOT_ASSERT`; the matrix returned rc 1 with two named assertion failures.
+- Review-blocker controls were observed red: structurally invalid `statuses` string and null-entry payloads each exited 0 as `terminal-success`; unsupported-platform discovery exited 1 without diagnostic or audit (seven named assertion failures total).
+- After the push/merge asymmetry ruling, merge-side provider unavailability was observed red at rc 0; its registered case required distinct retryable rc 75.
+- Aggregate `state=success` with zero contexts was observed red: it exited 0 as `terminal-success`; the registered case requires `no-status`/nonzero.
+- Fork/exact-head controls were observed red: `pr-merge.sh` omitted the fork repository and full SHA, and an ignored-arguments mutant re-resolved through `/branches/` instead of the exact fork commit (two named failures).
+- GitHub check-run-only success/pending/failure were each misclassified as `no-status`; the RED run had five named failures and proved the Checks API was never queried.
+- The first merge-pin control was unrunnable because one `local` declaration referenced a variable before assignment under `set -u`; this was disclosed and corrected rather than counted. The runnable RED then showed Gitea payload `{"Do":"squash"}` lacked `head_commit_id`; a separate GitHub run showed `gh pr merge 123 --squash` lacked `--match-head-commit`.
+- A stale-verdict mutant removed the `--expect-head` comparison and was observed red because a moved head reached the provider merge call.
+- `bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-pr-merge-queue-branch.sh` initially returned rc 1; captured call was `--purpose merge -B main -t 900 -i 15`.
+
+Logs remain untracked under the worktree as `.mosaic-test-work-red-*.log` and will not be committed.
+
+## Progress
+
+- [x] Mission, remediation charter, task evidence, board, issue #1019, and superseded PR #1023 read.
+- [x] Isolated worktree created and identity configured coherently.
+- [x] Mutant tests authored and observed red.
+- [x] Implementation green.
+- [x] Baseline and focused situational gates green; full package suite has an unrelated framework-shell environment abort recorded below.
+- [ ] Independent review clean (rev-974 requested changes at `44ffa99a`; bypass remediation committed and awaiting re-review).
+- [ ] PR CI terminal-green at exact head by full step scan.
+- [ ] Merge-gate verdict issued against frozen head.
+
+## Scope disposition
+
+- The five framework guides are consequential documentation: they define the purpose-aware tri-state contract, including audited push degradation and merge HOLD.
+- The agent templates are consequential because they ship the same queue-guard instructions into newly seeded agent contracts; leaving them binary/stale would contradict the repaired tool.
+- `pr-merge.sh` is consequential: it must inspect the PR's exact head branch/repository/SHA and enforce the exact-head merge pin.
+- `pr-metadata.sh` is consequential only as the normalized source of that head branch/repository/SHA. Its diff is limited to exposing those fields on GitHub and Gitea.
+- `test-pr-merge-gitea-empty-uid.sh` changes because exact-head Gitea merges now always use the API path (the only path that can send `head_commit_id`), superseding the prior tea-empty-identity fallback behavior.
+
+## Review remediation
+
+- rev-974 independently proved that the documented `--skip-queue-guard` merge option bypassed an exit-99 guard stub, reached the provider merge payload, printed success, and exited 0 at head `44ffa99a`.
+- RED-first reproduction was added to `test-pr-merge-head-pin.sh` before the production fix: `FAIL merge-bypass: --skip-queue-guard reached the provider merge path`, suite rc 1. The test-only commit is `241113e6`.
+- Production remediation `37aae650` removes the option from parsing, usage, help, and examples. Every merge-capable path now invokes the queue guard; `--dry-run` alone omits it and has a regression proving that it exits before provider dispatch and creates no merge payload.
+- Existing Gitea merge tests now exercise a successful guard response rather than bypassing the guard.
+
+## Risks / boundaries
+
+- The local JSONL audit is durable operational evidence but not tamper-resistant against the same UID. RM-03 does not claim otherwise.
+- Push-side audited exit 0 is an explicit owner ruling (Option B), accepted to avoid bricking recovery work; merge-side CANNOT_ASSERT remains retryable exit 75/HOLD. The automated security reviewer continues to flag the deliberate push availability tradeoff.
+- Source/deployed-copy equality is owned by RM-02/D-22; this branch changes repository source and its tests only.
+
+## Test evidence
+
+Fresh after rescue checkpoint `b7175012`:
+
+- Focused situational matrix: tri-state, GitHub checks pagination, branch-absent, merge head branch/repository/SHA, exact-head pin, and Gitea exact-head API regressions all passed.
+- `bash -n` on the three production shell scripts passed.
+- `shellcheck -x -P packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git ...` on all changed shell scripts passed.
+- `pnpm typecheck` passed (45/45 Turbo tasks).
+- `pnpm lint` passed (25/25 Turbo tasks).
+- `pnpm format:check` passed.
+- `pnpm --filter @mosaicstack/mosaic test`: Vitest passed 1508/1508 on the confirmation run; framework-shell then aborted at the pre-existing wake coordinate assertion with exit 97: `BASH_LINENO ... probe reported [3 5], expected [3 4] ... (#973)`. This is outside the RM-03 diff and is disclosed rather than substituted or called green.
+- The prior package-suite attempt had one transient, out-of-diff `install-ordering-guard.spec.ts` failure (1/1508); its isolated rerun passed 19/19 and the confirmation full Vitest run passed 1508/1508.
+- After bypass remediation: all six focused RM-03 queue/merge regressions passed, including bypass refusal and dry-run non-dispatch; shell syntax and source-aware ShellCheck passed; `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm lint`, and `pnpm format:check` passed.
+- Fresh `test:framework-shell` reached and passed every RM-03 test, then again aborted at the unrelated wake coordinate assertion with exit 97; it remains explicitly non-green rather than substituted.
+- An ad hoc raw Prettier invocation over `.template` and `.sh` files was unrunnable because no parser is registered for those extensions; it was not used as a substitute for canonical `pnpm format:check`.

+# WebUI Fleet Bridge Planning Scratchpad
+
+**Mode:** Task 0 docs-only decision PR authorized; Task 1 and all executable/runtime work remain blocked.
+**Owner:** Velma
+**Opened:** 2026-08-09
+**Scope:** One enrolled Agent Host launching one native `mosaic claude` OAuth session and streaming it into `apps/web` through `apps/gateway`.
+
+## Objective
+
+Turn the approved direction in `jarvis-brain/docs/scratchpads/MOSAIC-WEBUI-FLEET-BRIDGE.md` into a test-first implementation plan while preserving Fred's harness-home/launcher contract and Scooby's greenfield safety findings.
+
+## Source reconciliation
+
+- Current `origin/main`: `b0f7d26dd9c14d91eaaefc35d6c9fd6618a0bd92`.
+- Current `origin/next`: `4df478cdd150fdf8d52ea109f02ade5d85017acd`.
+- Branches currently diverge (`main` has 11 unique commits; `next` has 13). `next` contains local-tier Redis fix #689; `main` contains later fleet/shell fixes.
+- Fred's three-root harness-home design and promotion stack are not yet fully present on either baseline.
+- Therefore neither current SHA is an acceptable implementation pin. Code may begin only from a Fred-certified reconciled SHA containing the required launcher/home contract and safe Gateway startup prerequisites.
+- The deployed `mosaic.woltje.com` v0.0.20 UI remains reference-only.
+
+## Verified seams
+
+- Current browser chat uses an in-process Pi SDK session.
+- `AgentRuntimeProvider` supports list/tree/stream/send/attach/detach/terminate, but not create/start.
+- `InteractionController` enrolls an already-existing runtime session; it cannot launch one.
+- Hermes is the only runtime provider registered in Gateway.
+- Tmux streaming is explicitly unsupported and remains out of scope.
+- `mosaic claude` is the authoritative launcher and accepts Claude's machine-facing stream-json flags.
+- Installed discovery version: Claude Code 2.1.226. Target Distrobox version must be independently pinned and certified.
+
+## Non-negotiable dependencies
+
+1. Fred approves the machine-facing launcher/seat-home contract before code.
+2. No WebUI/Gateway direct read of lease broker state, daemon socket, or state files (F-V3).
+3. No provider OAuth token leaves the Agent Host.
+4. No local Gateway/Web startup around the KBN/database hold.
+5. Greenfield work runs in a Debian Distrobox with an isolated home.
+6. The initial plan PR targets `next`; Fred binds D1–D15 on its exact head before issue/PRD/tracker completion or implementation work.
+
+## Reproducible evidence
+
+Run from a clean Stack clone:
+
+```bash
+git fetch origin main next
+git rev-parse origin/main origin/next
+git rev-list --left-right --count origin/main...origin/next
+rg -n "interface AgentRuntimeProvider|createSession|streamEvents|terminate" \
+  packages/types/src/agent packages/agent/src apps/gateway/src/agent
+rg -n "AgentService\.prompt|interaction_sessions|createRuntimeTerminationApproval" \

+Primary inspected source seams:

+
+Planning-only investigation transcripts are local and intentionally uncommitted:
+
+- `/tmp/velma-plan-stack-surface.txt`
+- `/tmp/velma-plan-structure.txt`
+- `/tmp/velma-plan-scooby.txt`
+- `/tmp/velma-plan-runtime-contract.txt`
+
+## Source findings that constrain the design
+
+- `interaction_sessions.id` is the stable primary key; there are no create/policy/enrollment/state columns.
+- `interaction_outbox` has a unique `(session_id, idempotency_key)` index and only `pending | processing | delivered`.
+- Baseline `DurableSessionRepository.create()` can replace provider/runtime identity for the same owner; M1 must remove that implicit mutation.
+- Baseline termination approval is Redis-backed and currently consumes separately from PostgreSQL; M1 therefore needs durable authorization acceptance before destructive token deletion/dispatch.
+- Existing interaction HTTP base is `/api/interaction/:agentName`; the plan extends it rather than inventing a second route family.
+- Baseline `launch.ts`/lease launcher still use ambient lookup/literal interpreters. Section 4.1 is non-binding consumer input to Fred's W-F design; W-F's final resolved-launch contract must exist in the certified base before Velma can certify it.
+- Root `pnpm test` is not KBN-safe: it includes PGlite migration and framework-shell/lease-broker suites.
+
+## Independent draft review
+
+Seven adversarial review rounds found and drove explicit fixes for:
+
+- a candidate resolved-seat consumer descriptor and threat model, now explicitly non-binding input to Fred's W-F-owned launcher design;
+- one active launch per stable conversation, exact pending/failed encodings, durable pre-dispatch reservation, CAS activation, and crash lookup without a migration;
+- generation-bound enrollment, command/event revalidation, `SIGHUP` config epochs, and stale-epoch rejection;
+- Redis/PostgreSQL exact-stop crash safety via non-destructive verify, durable authorization acceptance, atomic claim/`GETDEL`, and same-operation status reconciliation;
+- sequence gaps/reorder limits, deterministic UUIDv5 completion, and Gateway restart fail-closed behavior;
+- shared streaming redaction before host ring/transport and again before Gateway persistence/browser;
+- D2/D12-selected path-free provenance and a separate safe browser DTO—never raw or hashed path strings;
+- exact F-V3 boundary: bridge has no broker API, while Fred's sealed launcher may enforce broker policy internally;
+- migration-free focused tests in Tasks 1–8, with live OAuth, repository transaction, Gateway/Web, and Playwright restricted to the Fred/Scooby-certified Task 9 path;
+- candidate private/public commitment and artifact-binding mechanisms that W-F may accept, simplify, replace, or defer;
+- JCS event-digest recomputation and equal/different duplicate handling in both accepted and future-buffer states;
+- a safe browser presentation DTO for host/workspace/seat/persona labels, readiness, and connection state;
+- explicit `OnApplicationBootstrap` create/stop recovery enumeration with no auto-launch;
+- all POSIX/Windows/UNC/file/tilde path classes in the streaming redactor and definitive failed-stop response semantics;
+- the full 14-column canonical task schema, fake-only Task 5 repository tests, migration-free certified Task 9 DB test, server-owned operation correlations/routes, and exact merged-SHA smoke;
+- per-commit independent review, queue guards, exact-head PR review, squash merge, exact merged-next SHA/CI wait, worktree-bound smoke, issue-state readback, and reviewed tracker-closure PR with its own merged-next CI;
+- a private DB URL loader captured/exported per session without recording or echoing the credential;
+- an attached Task 9 implementation branch, provider-filtered exact issue-state readback, and machine-verified smoke JSON binding source/worktree/deployed SHA;
+- a capped, duplicate-key-rejecting, exact-key/type smoke schema so report extensions or JSON boolean/float coercion cannot smuggle data or fake child-count evidence.
+
+The plan remains deliberately **decision-PR-ready, not implementation-ready**. Fred authorized only Task 0's initial two-document PR on `next`. He must still return every Section 2 value, replace all `[FRED-GATE]` entries, certify storage/startup, and provide the W-F-dependent `IMPLEMENTATION_BASE_SHA` before Task 0 closes or Task 1 starts.
+
+## Current status
+
+- Gitea principal verified as `velma`; helper and API wrapper resolution are fail-closed and correct.
+- Fred authorized the initial Task 0 docs-only PR in `comms/20260809T094952Z__from-fred__ec0e85.md` and confirmed its `next` lane/W-F descriptor corrections in `comms/20260809T095437Z__from-fred__4ee79d.md`.
+- Provisional decisions: D1/D8/D9/D10/D13/D14 approved; D4 tool labels exactly `{Read, Grep, Glob}`; D5/D12 provisional; D11 remains a single-operator seam; D2/D3/D6/D7 and `IMPLEMENTATION_BASE_SHA` are `BLOCKED-ON-W-F`.
+- Awaiting exact plan-PR-head review and Fred's complete D1–D15 binding contract.
+- No source code, database, deployment, or live runtime changes made.

+# WebUI Phase P — P2 Data + Auth Scratchpad
+
+**Task ID:** WEBUI-P2
+**Tracking ref:** stacked on PR #1143 (`feat/webui-p1-vite-skeleton`); no separate issue specified in the author brief
+**Branch:** `feat/webui-p2-data-auth`
+**Started:** 2026-08-09
+**Role:** P2 author worker (must not modify `docs/TASKS.md`)
+
+## Original tasking
+
+> Read `/home/jwoltje/briefs/P2-brief.md` and execute it fully in `/home/jwoltje/src/stack-p1` on branch `feat/webui-p2-data-auth`. Run every listed verification gate, commit locally only, and do not push.
+
+Container path mapping:
+
+- Brief: `/home/jwoltje/distrobox-homes/mosaic-dev/briefs/P2-brief.md`
+- Repo: `/home/jwoltje/distrobox-homes/mosaic-dev/src/stack-p1`
+
+## Objective
+
+Make the P1 Vite SPA authenticate against the Mosaic Gateway by same-origin relative paths, replace guest-route placeholders with real login/register/SSO callback pages, and enforce guest/authenticated route guards without modifying the parallel Next app tree except for unavoidable shared-library import fixes.
+
+## Scope and invariants
+
+- All SPA HTTP and Socket.IO access remains origin-relative (`/api/...`, `/api/auth/...`, `/chat`).
+- No `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`, `VITE_*` origin setting, or hard-coded `http://localhost:14242` under `apps/web/src/`.
+- Verify the Gateway BetterAuth mount path from source before choosing auth-client configuration.
+- Delete the legacy static SSO-provider discovery module and test; runtime `/api/sso/providers` is canonical.
+- Preserve the Next build while adding React Router guest pages and session guards.
+- Never push; stage named files only; do not touch the modified `.mosaic/orchestrator/session.lock`.
+
+## Plan
+
+1. Inspect P1 SPA structure, shared libraries, legacy Next auth pages/components, Gateway auth mount, and current test setup.
+2. Add/adjust tests first for relative API behavior, auth-client origin configuration, relative Socket.IO singleton behavior, and all guard session states; run focused tests and capture expected RED failures.
+3. Implement shared-library relative networking and remove the legacy SSO-provider module/imports.
+4. Port login, register, and provider callback pages to React Router and wire routes.
+5. Implement session-aware guest/auth guards and satisfy focused tests.
+6. Run focused tests, all brief verification gates, invariant searches, and an independent code/security review; remediate and re-run affected gates.
+7. Update this scratchpad with evidence, stage named files only, and commit locally.
+
+## Testing strategy
+
+- TDD is required because this increment changes authentication/session behavior.
+- Primary situational evidence: jsdom router guard state tests plus guest-page/auth-flow contract tests already present or added as needed.
+- Baseline gates: web tests, Vite build, Next build, typecheck, lint, and root format check exactly as listed in the brief.
+- Browser automation is not required by the brief for P2; if used, it will be headless only.
+
+## Budget
+
+No explicit user token cap was provided. Working soft cap: **30K tokens**, derived from a multi-file auth/frontend increment with tests, dual builds, review, and remediation. Keep implementation within the brief; no unrelated refactors or dependencies.
+
+## Progress / evidence
+
+- [x] Loaded mission protocol, active MVP manifest/scratchpad, top-level tasks, PRD, relevant frontend/auth/testing/type/review guides, and matching skills.
+- [x] Resolved host paths to the Distrobox-mapped repo and brief.
+- [x] Confirmed branch `feat/webui-p2-data-auth`, stacked at P1 commit `068d0f9b`.
+- [x] Source and Gateway mount inspection complete.
+- [x] RED tests observed.
+- [x] Implementation complete.
+- [x] Independent review complete and findings remediated.
+- [x] Verification gates complete.
+- [x] Local implementation commit created: `46d68e1f`.
+
+### Source decisions
+
+- Gateway source mounts BetterAuth at `/api/auth/` in `apps/gateway/src/auth/auth.controller.ts`; `packages/auth/src/auth.ts` configures `basePath: '/api/auth'`.
+- BetterAuth 1.5.5 defaults its browser client to `/api/auth` when `baseURL` is omitted. `src/lib/auth-client.ts` therefore omits `baseURL`, preserving same-origin behavior without encoding any gateway origin.
+- The only `src/app/` edit is the transitional Next provider redirect page. Deleting `src/lib/sso-providers.ts` required that mechanical consumer migration; it now uses the same runtime `/api/sso/providers` discovery and callback sanitizer as the SPA.
+- GuestGuard pending behavior intentionally follows the approved brief: if no session object exists (including pending), render `<Outlet />`; only a present session redirects to `/chat`. AuthGuard alone renders the specified pending treatment.
+
+### TDD evidence
+
+- Initial focused run: 9 expected failures, proving absolute API/auth/socket origins, P1 guest placeholders, and missing guard redirects/loading behavior.
+- After implementation: focused contract suite 15/15 passed.
+- Security remediation RED: `%2F%0A%2F%2Fevil.example` reached `signIn.oauth2` as an external-normalizing callback target before the fix.
+- Security remediation GREEN: shared `resolveAuthCallbackURL` unit suite 9/9 plus SPA callback regression 1/1 passed; both SPA and Next consumers use the shared helper.
+
+### Independent review
+
+- Primary Codex wrappers could not run because `jq` is absent; direct Codex fallback then failed authentication with HTTP 401. No review result was claimed from those attempts.
+- Independent Claude Sonnet code review found no implementation-scope blocker, one pending-state UX suggestion, and one pre-existing `api.ts` type-assertion suggestion. The pending-state suggestion was rejected because it contradicts the brief's explicit GuestGuard contract; the API cleanup is outside P2's preserve-contract scope.
+- Independent Claude Sonnet security review found a high-severity control-character open redirect in the callback prefix check shared by the newly ported SPA logic and transitional Next consumer.
+- Remediation centralized WHATWG URL parsing plus exact current-origin comparison in `src/lib/auth-redirect.ts`, returns only path/search/hash, and added the RED-first regression above.
+- Fresh code re-review: `approve`, 0 blockers, 0 should-fix findings.
+- Fresh security re-review: `low`, 0 critical/high/medium/low findings.
+
+### Documentation checklist disposition
+
+- `docs/PRD.md` exists and P2 aligns to FR-8 / AC-7 authentication requirements.
+- No Gateway endpoint, DTO, permission, or API schema changed; existing `/api/auth/*` and `/api/sso/providers` contracts are consumed unchanged, so OpenAPI/API-index updates are not applicable.
+- Route paths were already present in the P1 route table; P2 replaces placeholders without changing site-map navigation, so `docs/SITEMAP.md` is unchanged.
+- User/admin auth behavior is parity with the still-live Next implementation, not a new workflow. Implementation decisions, failure behavior, testing, and migration compatibility are documented here; no publishing action is in scope.
+- Documentation remains in-repo; no generated publishing output was created.
+
+### Final verification evidence
+
+Run fresh after remediation from the locations required by the brief:
+
+- `apps/web: pnpm test` — PASS: `Test Files 9 passed (9)`; `Tests 27 passed (27)`.
+- `apps/web: pnpm build:vite` — PASS: `✓ 113 modules transformed`; `✓ built in 565ms`.
+- `apps/web: pnpm build` — PASS: `✓ Compiled successfully in 4.6s`; 10/10 static pages generated; dynamic provider/project routes retained.
+- `apps/web: pnpm typecheck` — PASS: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0.
+- `apps/web: pnpm lint` — PASS: `eslint src` exited 0.
+- Root `pnpm format:check` — PASS: `All matched files use Prettier code style!`.
+- Invariant scan — PASS: no `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`, `VITE_*`, `GATEWAY_URL`, `http://localhost:14242`, or `sso-providers` references under `apps/web/src`.
+- `git diff --check` — PASS.
+- All six required gates above were repeated successfully after implementation commit `46d68e1f`, proving the exact committed source tree.
+
+## Risks / blockers
+
+- `.mosaic/orchestrator/session.lock` is modified by the active harness and must remain unstaged.
+- P2 changes shared `src/lib/` modules consumed by both Vite and Next, so the Next build is a required compatibility gate.
+
+## Remediation 1 — independent Node 26 verification failure
+
+**Correction received:** 2026-08-09
+
+The orchestrator rejected the P2 verification claim after an independent run under Node 26.4.0 produced 2 failed redirect tests and 2 unhandled errors. React Router passed jsdom's realm-local `AbortSignal` to Node 26's native undici `Request`, which rejects non-native signals. Production guard behavior is correct and must not change.
+
+### Remediation constraints
+
+- Preserve both redirect assertions and all `guards.tsx` behavior; no skips, weakening, or test deletion.
+- Add the smallest Vitest environment repair so global `AbortController` / `AbortSignal` are constructors accepted by native undici `Request`.
+- Run all six required gates, commit named files locally without pushing, leave `.mosaic/orchestrator/session.lock` untouched, then run `apps/web: pnpm test` as the final worktree action.
+- Completion requires zero failed tests, zero test errors, and zero unhandled rejections.
+
+### Remediation plan
+
+1. Reproduce under Node 26.4.0 if an ephemeral matching runtime is available.
+2. Add a Vitest `setupFiles` module deriving Node-native abort constructors from `node:util` and register it in `apps/web/vitest.config.ts`.
+3. Add a direct regression assertion that a global controller's signal is accepted by native `Request`, while retaining the existing redirect behavior tests unchanged.
+4. Run focused Node 22 and Node 26 tests, independent review, all required gates, and local commit(s).
+5. After every edit/commit/status check is complete, run `pnpm test` from `apps/web` as the last command.
+
+### Remediation implementation and evidence
+
+- Reproduced under ephemeral Node `v26.4.0`: `Test Files 1 failed (1)`, `Tests 2 failed | 4 passed (6)`, `Errors 2 errors`, with the exact undici `AbortSignal` realm rejection from the remediation brief.
+- Added `apps/web/src/test/setup.ts`, registered through `vitest.config.ts#setupFiles`. It derives Node-native abort constructors from the built-in `node:util.transferableAbortController()` and aligns both `globalThis` and jsdom `window`; it does not replace `Request`, `Response`, or `fetch`.
+- Explicitly pinned Vitest `isolate: true` so the test-only global constructors cannot leak between test-file environments.
+- Added `src/test/setup.spec.ts`, which proves a global controller signal is accepted by Node's native `Request` and that abort propagation remains functional.
+- Existing `guards.spec.tsx` and production `guards.tsx` remain unchanged.
+- Focused Node 26.4.0 remediation run: `Test Files 2 passed (2)` and `Tests 7 passed (7)`, with zero errors/unhandled rejections.
+- Preliminary full Node 26.4.0 run: `Test Files 9 passed (9)` and `Tests 27 passed (27)`, with zero errors/unhandled rejections before the direct setup regression was added.
+- No dependency was added; `node:util` is a Node built-in.
+
+### Remediation independent review
+
+- First code review: approve, 0 blockers, 0 should-fix; suggested a direct Request regression and version-neutral comment.
+- First security/integrity review: low risk; suggested pinning test isolation explicitly.
+- All suggestions were applied.
+- Fresh code re-review: approve, 0 blockers, 0 should-fix, no findings.
+- Fresh security/integrity re-review: low risk, 0 findings.
+
+### Remediation pre-commit gate evidence
+
+- Node 26.4.0 `pnpm test`: `Test Files 10 passed (10)`; `Tests 28 passed (28)`; zero errors and zero unhandled rejections.
+- `pnpm typecheck`: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0.
+- `pnpm build:vite`: `✓ 113 modules transformed`; `✓ built in 960ms`.
+- `pnpm build` (Next): `✓ Compiled successfully in 4.8s`; static pages generated 10/10.
+- `pnpm lint`: `eslint src` exited 0.
+- Root `pnpm format:check`: `All matched files use Prettier code style!`.
+- Final post-commit non-test gates and final-action Node 26 `pnpm test` remain required before reporting completion.
+
+### Remediation committed verification
+
+- Implementation commit: `e16c08aa` (`test(web): align jsdom abort signals with Node`).
+- Post-commit `pnpm typecheck`: `tsc --noEmit` exited 0.
+- Post-commit `pnpm build:vite`: `✓ 113 modules transformed`; `✓ built in 323ms`.
+- Post-commit `pnpm build` (Next): `✓ Compiled successfully in 4.6s`; static pages generated 10/10.
+- Post-commit `pnpm lint`: `eslint src` exited 0.
+- Post-commit root `pnpm format:check`: `All matched files use Prettier code style!`.
+- Final Node 26 `pnpm test` will be the last worktree action and its verbatim output will be reported to the orchestrator.

shaggy (mosaic-dev box)andClaude Fable 5	068d0f9b1c	feat(web): P1 Vite skeleton beside Next — entry, router, guards, vitest 3 ci/woodpecker/pr/ci Pipeline was successful Details First increment of the approved Phase P RFC (webui-mission). Adds a Vite + React Router SPA scaffold coexisting with the Next app: index.html with the theme anti-flash script, src/main.tsx entry, the v1 parity route table under Guest/Auth guard shells, and a dev proxy (/api, /socket.io ws) to the gateway on 14242 so the SPA is same-origin in dev. vitest bumped to v3 (vite 8 pairing); existing specs pass unchanged. Next remains the served app until the P5 cutover. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ESFAnh2t9HmLwng8oW95St	2026-08-09 19:02:55 -05:00

EXPOSE said 4000 but main.ts defaults to 14242. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ESFAnh2t9HmLwng8oW95St	2026-08-09 18:03:42 -05:00

shaggy (mosaic-dev box)andClaude Fable 5	91e692e3e7	fix: break-C — install-hooks no-ops without git; web image builds @mosaicstack/web ci/woodpecker/pr/ci Pipeline was canceled Details install-hooks.mjs hard-failed (exit 1) in environments without a git binary — e.g. the docker image builds, which have no git and no repo. Hook installation is meaningless there; skip with a warning instead. docker/web.Dockerfile filtered @mosaic/web, but the package is named @mosaicstack/web, so the image build compiled nothing.

shaggy (mosaic-dev box)	b4753a75cd	fix(gateway): gate FederationModule on tier federated (#1138 ) ci/woodpecker/pr/ci Pipeline was successful Details CaService hard-requires STEP_CA_URL/provisioner config at construction, so an unconditional FederationModule import makes every standalone/local boot die at DI time. Gate the module on loadConfig().tier === federated, matching the documented intent of the federation compose profile (must not start in non-federated dev). Verified in mosaic-dev box: standalone tier boots to "Gateway listening on port 14242" with bootstrap/socket.io/auth surfaces responding; federated tier path unchanged.	2026-08-09 17:26:28 -05:00
