fix: unify Commander to v13 across all packages (prdy, mosaic)

Stale commander@12 in @mosaic/prdy and @mosaic/mosaic caused type
mismatch with @mosaic/cli and @mosaic/quality-rails (both on v13).

+# Mosaic Stack
+
+Self-hosted, multi-user AI agent platform. One config, every runtime, same standards.
+
+Mosaic gives you a unified launcher for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi — injecting consistent system prompts, guardrails, skills, and mission context into every session. A NestJS gateway provides the API surface, a Next.js dashboard gives you the UI, and a plugin system connects Discord, Telegram, and more.
+
+## Quick Install
+
+```bash
+bash <(curl -fsSL https://git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaic/mosaic-stack/raw/branch/main/tools/install.sh)
+```
+
+This installs both components:
+
+| Component       | What                                                  | Where                |
+| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- |
+| **Framework**   | Bash launcher, guides, runtime configs, tools, skills | `~/.config/mosaic/`  |
+| **@mosaic/cli** | TUI, gateway client, wizard, auto-updater             | `~/.npm-global/bin/` |
+
+After install, set up your agent identity:
+
+```bash
+mosaic init          # Interactive wizard
+```
+
+### Requirements
+
+- Node.js ≥ 20
+- npm (for global @mosaic/cli install)
+- One or more runtimes: [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex), [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai), or [Pi](https://github.com/mariozechner/pi-coding-agent)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Launching Agent Sessions
+
+```bash
+mosaic pi                    # Launch Pi with Mosaic injection
+mosaic claude                # Launch Claude Code with Mosaic injection
+mosaic codex                 # Launch Codex with Mosaic injection
+mosaic opencode              # Launch OpenCode with Mosaic injection
+
+mosaic yolo claude           # Claude with dangerous-permissions mode
+mosaic yolo pi               # Pi in yolo mode
+```
+
+The launcher verifies your config, checks for `SOUL.md`, injects your `AGENTS.md` standards into the runtime, and forwards all arguments.
+
+### TUI & Gateway
+
+```bash
+mosaic tui                   # Interactive TUI connected to the gateway
+mosaic login                 # Authenticate with a gateway instance
+mosaic sessions list         # List active agent sessions
+```
+
+### Management
+
+```bash
+mosaic doctor                # Health audit — detect drift and missing files
+mosaic sync                  # Sync skills from canonical source
+mosaic update                # Check for and install CLI updates
+mosaic wizard                # Full guided setup wizard
+mosaic bootstrap <path>      # Bootstrap a repo with Mosaic standards
+mosaic coord init            # Initialize a new orchestration mission
+mosaic prdy init             # Create a PRD via guided session
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js ≥ 20
+- pnpm 10.6+
+- Docker & Docker Compose
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+git clone git@git.mosaicstack.dev:mosaic/mosaic-stack.git
+cd mosaic-stack
+
+# Start infrastructure (Postgres, Valkey, Jaeger)
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Install dependencies
+pnpm install
+
+# Run migrations
+pnpm --filter @mosaic/db run db:migrate
+
+# Start all services in dev mode
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+### Infrastructure
+
+Docker Compose provides:
+
+| Service               | Port      | Purpose                |
+| --------------------- | --------- | ---------------------- |
+| PostgreSQL (pgvector) | 5433      | Primary database       |
+| Valkey                | 6380      | Task queue + caching   |
+| Jaeger                | 16686     | Distributed tracing UI |
+| OTEL Collector        | 4317/4318 | Telemetry ingestion    |
+
+### Quality Gates
+
+```bash
+pnpm typecheck               # TypeScript type checking (all packages)
+pnpm lint                    # ESLint (all packages)
+pnpm test                    # Vitest (all packages)
+pnpm format:check            # Prettier check
+pnpm format                  # Prettier auto-fix
+```
+
+### CI
+
+Woodpecker CI runs on every push:
+
+- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
+- Database migration against a fresh Postgres
+- `pnpm test` (Turbo-orchestrated across all packages)
+
+npm packages are published to the Gitea package registry on main merges.

+
+### Key Design Decisions
+
+- **Gateway is the single API surface** — all clients (TUI, web, Discord, Telegram) connect through it
+- **ESM everywhere** — `"type": "module"`, `.js` extensions in imports, NodeNext resolution
+- **Socket.IO typed events** — defined in `@mosaic/types`, enforced at compile time
+- **OTEL auto-instrumentation** — loads before NestJS bootstrap
+- **Explicit `@Inject()` decorators** — required since tsx/esbuild doesn't emit decorator metadata
+
+### Framework (`~/.config/mosaic/`)
+
+The framework is the bash-based standards layer installed to every developer machine:
+
+```
+~/.config/mosaic/
+├── AGENTS.md              ← Central standards (loaded into every runtime)
+├── SOUL.md                ← Agent identity (name, style, guardrails)
+├── USER.md                ← User profile (name, timezone, preferences)
+├── TOOLS.md               ← Machine-level tool reference
+├── bin/mosaic             ← Unified launcher (claude, codex, opencode, pi, yolo)
+├── guides/                ← E2E delivery, orchestrator protocol, PRD, etc.
+├── runtime/               ← Per-runtime configs (claude/, codex/, opencode/, pi/)
+├── skills/                ← Universal skills (synced from agent-skills repo)
+├── tools/                 ← Tool suites (orchestrator, git, quality, prdy, etc.)
+└── memory/                ← Persistent agent memory (preserved across upgrades)
+```
+
+### Forge Pipeline
+
+Forge is a multi-stage AI pipeline for autonomous feature delivery:
+
+```
+Intake → Discovery → Board Review → Planning (3 stages) → Coding → Review → Remediation → Test → Deploy
+```
+
+Each stage has a dispatch mode (`exec` for research/review, `yolo` for coding), quality gates, and timeouts. The board review uses multiple AI personas (CEO, CTO, CFO, COO + specialists) to evaluate briefs before committing resources.
+
+## Upgrading
+
+Run the installer again — it handles upgrades automatically:
+
+```bash
+bash <(curl -fsSL https://git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaic/mosaic-stack/raw/branch/main/tools/install.sh)
+```
+
+Or use the CLI:
+
+```bash
+mosaic update                # Check + install CLI updates
+mosaic update --check        # Check only, don't install
+```
+
+The CLI also performs a background update check on every invocation (cached for 1 hour).
+
+### Installer Flags
+
+```bash
+bash tools/install.sh --check        # Version check only
+bash tools/install.sh --framework    # Framework only (skip npm CLI)
+bash tools/install.sh --cli          # npm CLI only (skip framework)
+bash tools/install.sh --ref v1.0     # Install from a specific git ref
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+```bash
+# Create a feature branch
+git checkout -b feat/my-feature
+
+# Make changes, then verify
+pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm test && pnpm format:check
+
+# Commit (husky runs lint-staged automatically)
+git commit -m "feat: description of change"
+
+# Push and create PR
+git push -u origin feat/my-feature
+```
+
+DTOs go in `*.dto.ts` files at module boundaries. Scratchpads (`docs/scratchpads/`) are mandatory for non-trivial tasks. See `AGENTS.md` for the full standards reference.

+# Brief: Monorepo Consolidation — mosaic/stack → mosaic/mosaic-stack
+
+## Source
+
+Architecture consolidation — merge the mosaic/stack repo (Forge pipeline, MACP protocol, framework tools) into mosaic/mosaic-stack (Harness Foundation platform). Two repos doing related work that need to converge.
+
+## Context
+
+**mosaic/stack** (OLD) contains:
+
+- Forge progressive refinement pipeline (stages, agents, personas, rails, debate protocol, brief classification)
+- MACP protocol (JSON schemas, deterministic Python controller, dispatcher, event system, gate runner)
+- Credential resolver (Python — OC config, mosaic files, ambient env, JSON5 parser)
+- OC framework plugin (injects Mosaic rails into all agent sessions)
+- Profiles (runtime-neutral context packs for tech stacks and domains)
+- Stage adapter (Forge→MACP bridge)
+- Board tasks (multi-agent board evaluation)
+- OpenBrain specialist memory (learning capture/recall)
+- 17 guides, 5 universal skills
+
+**mosaic/mosaic-stack** (NEW) contains:
+
+- Harness Foundation platform (NestJS gateway, Next.js web, Drizzle ORM, Pi SDK runtime)
+- 5 provider adapters, task classifier, routing rules, model capability matrix
+- MACP OC plugin (ACP runtime backend with Pi bridge)
+- TS coord package (mission runner, tasks file manager, status tracker — 1635 lines)
+- BullMQ job queue, OTEL telemetry, channel plugins (Discord, Telegram)
+- CLI with TUI, 65/65 tasks done, v0.2.0
+
+**Decision:** NEW repo is the base. All unique work from OLD gets ported into NEW as packages.
+
+## Scope
+
+### Work Package 1: Forge Pipeline Package (`packages/forge`)
+
+Port the entire Forge progressive refinement pipeline as a TypeScript package.
+
+**From OLD:**
+
+- `forge/pipeline/stages/*.md` — 11 stage definitions
+- `forge/pipeline/agents/{board,generalists,specialists,cross-cutting}/*.md` — all persona definitions
+- `forge/pipeline/rails/*.md` — debate protocol, dynamic composition, worker rails
+- `forge/pipeline/gates/` — gate reviewer definitions
+- `forge/pipeline/orchestrator/run-structure.md` — file-based observability spec
+- `forge/templates/` — brief and PRD templates
+- `forge/pipeline/orchestrator/board_tasks.py` → rewrite in TS
+- `forge/pipeline/orchestrator/stage_adapter.py` → rewrite in TS
+- `forge/pipeline/orchestrator/pipeline_runner.py` → rewrite in TS
+- `forge/forge` CLI (Python) → rewrite in TS, integrate with `packages/cli`
+
+**Package structure:**
+
+```
+packages/forge/
+├── src/
+│   ├── index.ts              # Public API
+│   ├── pipeline-runner.ts    # Orchestrates full pipeline run
+│   ├── stage-adapter.ts      # Maps stages to MACP/coord tasks
+│   ├── board-tasks.ts        # Multi-agent board evaluation task generator
+│   ├── brief-classifier.ts   # strategic/technical/hotfix classification
+│   ├── types.ts              # Stage specs, run manifest, gate results
+│   └── constants.ts          # Stage sequence, timeouts, labels
+├── pipeline/
+│   ├── stages/               # .md stage definitions (copied)
+│   ├── agents/               # .md persona definitions (copied)

+│   ├── rails/                # .md rails (copied)
+│   ├── gates/                # .md gate definitions (copied)
+│   └── templates/            # brief + PRD templates (copied)
+└── package.json
+```
+
+**Key design decisions:**
+
+- Pipeline markdown assets are runtime data, not compiled — ship as-is in the package
+- `pipeline-runner.ts` calls into `packages/coord` for task execution (not a separate controller)
+- Stage adapter generates coord-compatible tasks, not MACP JSON directly
+- Board tasks use `depends_on_policy: "all_terminal"` for synthesis
+- Per-stage timeouts from `STAGE_TIMEOUTS` map
+- Brief classifier supports CLI flag, YAML frontmatter, and keyword auto-detection
+- Run output goes to project-scoped `.forge/runs/{run-id}/` (not inside the Forge package)
+
+**Persona override system (new):**
+
+- Base personas ship with the package (read-only)
+- Project-level overrides in `.forge/personas/{role}.md` extend (not replace) base personas
+- Board composition configurable via `.forge/config.yaml`:
+  ```yaml
+  board:
+    additional_members:
+      - compliance-officer.md
+    skip_members: []
+  specialists:
+    always_include:
+      - proxmox-expert
+  ```
+- OpenBrain integration for cross-run specialist memory (when enabled)
+
+### Work Package 2: MACP Protocol Package (`packages/macp`)
+
+Port the MACP protocol layer, event system, and gate runner as a TypeScript package.
+
+**From OLD:**
+
+- `tools/macp/protocol/task.schema.json` — task JSON schema
+- `tools/macp/protocol/` — event schemas
+- `tools/macp/controller/gate_runner.py` → rewrite in TS as `gate-runner.ts`
+- `tools/macp/events/` — event watcher, webhook adapter, Discord formatter → rewrite in TS
+- `tools/macp/dispatcher/credential_resolver.py` → rewrite in TS as `credential-resolver.ts`
+- `tools/macp/memory/learning_capture.py` + `learning_recall.py` → rewrite in TS
+
+**Package structure:**
+
+```
+packages/macp/
+├── src/
+│   ├── index.ts                # Public API
+│   ├── types.ts                # Task, event, result, gate types
+│   ├── schemas/                # JSON schemas (copied)
+│   ├── gate-runner.ts          # Mechanical + AI review quality gates
+│   ├── credential-resolver.ts  # Provider credential resolution (mosaic files, OC config, ambient)
+│   ├── event-emitter.ts        # Append events to ndjson, structured event types
+│   ├── event-watcher.ts        # Poll events.ndjson with cursor persistence
+│   ├── webhook-adapter.ts      # POST events to configurable URL
+│   ├── discord-formatter.ts    # Human-readable event messages
+│   └── learning.ts             # OpenBrain capture + recall
+└── package.json
+```
+
+**Integration with existing packages:**
+
+- `packages/coord` uses `packages/macp` for event emission, gate running, and credential resolution
+- `plugins/macp` uses `packages/macp` for protocol types and credential resolution
+- `packages/forge` uses `packages/macp` gate types for stage gates
+
+### Work Package 3: OC Framework Plugin (`plugins/mosaic-framework`)
+
+Port the OC framework plugin that injects Mosaic rails into all agent sessions.
+
+**From OLD:**
+
+- `oc-plugins/mosaic-framework/index.ts` — `before_agent_start` + `subagent_spawning` hooks
+- `oc-plugins/mosaic-framework/openclaw.plugin.json`
+
+**Structure:**
+
+```
+plugins/mosaic-framework/
+├── src/
+│   └── index.ts    # Plugin hooks
+└── package.json
+```
+
+**This is separate from `plugins/macp`:**
+
+- `mosaic-framework` = injects Mosaic rails/contracts into every OC session (passive enforcement)
+- `macp` = provides an ACP runtime backend for MACP task execution (active runtime)
+
+### Work Package 4: Profiles + Guides + Skills
+
+Port reference content as a documentation/config package or top-level directories.
+
+**From OLD:**
+
+- `profiles/domains/*.json` — HIPAA, fintech, crypto context packs
+- `profiles/tech-stacks/*.json` — NestJS, Next.js, FastAPI, React conventions
+- `profiles/workflows/*.json` — API development, frontend component, testing workflows
+- `guides/*.md` — 17 guides (auth, backend, QA, orchestrator, PRD, etc.)
+- `skills-universal/` — jarvis, macp, mosaic-standards, prd, setup-cicd skills
+
+**Destination:**
+
+```
+profiles/           # Top-level (same as OLD)
+guides/             # Top-level (same as OLD)
+skills/             # Top-level (renamed from skills-universal)
+```
+
+These are runtime-neutral assets consumed by any agent or profile loader — they don't belong in a compiled package.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Rewriting the NestJS orchestrator app from OLD (`apps/orchestrator/`) — its functionality is subsumed by `packages/coord` + `apps/gateway`
+- Porting the FastAPI coordinator from OLD (`apps/coordinator/`) — its functionality (webhook receiver, issue parser, quality orchestrator) is handled by `packages/coord` + `apps/gateway` in the new architecture
+- Porting the Prisma schema or OLD's `apps/api` — Drizzle migration is complete
+- Old Docker Compose configs (Traefik, Matrix, OpenBao) — NEW has its own infra setup
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. `packages/forge` exists with all 11 stage definitions, all persona markdowns, all rails, and TS implementations of pipeline-runner, stage-adapter, board-tasks, and brief-classifier
+2. `packages/macp` exists with gate-runner, credential-resolver, event system, and learning capture/recall — all in TypeScript
+3. `plugins/mosaic-framework` exists and registers OC hooks for rails injection
+4. Profiles, guides, and skills are present at top-level
+5. `packages/forge` integrates with `packages/coord` for task execution
+6. `packages/macp` credential-resolver is used by `plugins/macp` Pi bridge
+7. All existing tests pass (no regressions)
+8. New packages have test coverage ≥85%
+9. `pnpm lint && pnpm typecheck && pnpm build` passes
+10. `.forge/runs/` project-scoped output directory works for at least one test run
+
+## Technical Constraints
+
+- All new code is ESM with NodeNext module resolution
+- No Python in the new repo — everything rewrites to TypeScript
+- Pipeline markdown assets (stages, personas, rails) are shipped as package data, not compiled
+- Credential resolver must support: mosaic credential files, OC config (JSON5), ambient environment — same resolution order as the Python version
+- Must preserve `depends_on_policy` semantics (all, any, all_terminal)
+- Per-stage timeouts must be preserved
+- JSON5 stripping must use the placeholder-extraction approach (not naive regex on string content)
+
+## Estimated Complexity
+
+High — crosses 4 work packages with protocol porting, TS rewrites, and integration wiring. Each work package is independently shippable.
+
+**Suggested execution order:**
+
+1. WP4 (profiles/guides/skills) — pure copy, no code, fast win
+2. WP2 (packages/macp) — protocol foundation, needed by WP1 and WP3
+3. WP1 (packages/forge) — the big one, depends on WP2
+4. WP3 (plugins/mosaic-framework) — OC integration, can parallel with WP1
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `packages/coord` must be stable (it is — WP1 integrates with it)
+- `plugins/macp` must be stable (it is — WP2 provides types/credentials to it)
+- Pi SDK (`@mariozechner/pi-agent-core`) already in the dependency tree

+# Storage & Queue Abstraction — Middleware Architecture
+
+Design
+Status: Design (retrofit required)
+date: 2026-04-02
+context: Agents coupled directly to infrastructure backends, bypassing intended middleware layer
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+Current packages are **direct adapters**, not **middleware**:
+| Package | Current State | Intended Design |
+|---------|---------------|-----------------|
+| `@mosaic/queue` | `ioredis` hardcoded | Interface → BullMQ OR local-files |
+| `@mosaic/db` | Drizzle + Postgres hardcoded | Interface → Postgres OR SQLite OR JSON/MD |
+| `@mosaic/memory` | pgvector required | Interface → pgvector OR sqlite-vec OR keyword-search |
+
+## The gateway and TUI import these packages directly, which means they they're coupled to specific infrastructure. Users cannot run Mosaic Stack without Postgres + Valkey.
+
+## The Intended Architecture
+
+```

+```
+
+The gateway imports the interface, not the backend. At startup it reads config and instantiates the correct adapter.
+
+## The Drift
+
+```typescript
+// What should have happened:
+gateway/queue.service.ts → @mosaic/queue (interface) → queue.adapter.ts
+
+// What actually happened:
+gateway/queue.service.ts → @mosaic/queue → ioredis (hardcoded)
+```
+
+## The Current State Analysis
+
+### `@mosaic/queue` (packages/queue/src/queue.ts)
+
+```typescript
+import Redis from 'ioredis'; // ← Direct import of backend
+
+export function createQueue(config?: QueueConfig): QueueHandle {
+  const url = config?.url ?? process.env['VALKEY_URL'] ?? DEFAULT_VALKEY_URL;
+  const redis = new Redis(url, { maxRetriesPerRequest: 3 });
+  // ...queue ops directly on redis...
+}
+```
+
+**Problem:** `ioredis` is imported in the package, not the adapter interface. Consumers cannot swap backends.
+
+### `@mosaic/db` (packages/db/src/client.ts)
+
+```typescript
+import { drizzle, type PostgresJsDatabase } from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-js';
+import postgres from 'postgres';
+
+export function createDb(url?: string): DbHandle {
+  const connectionString = url ?? process.env['DATABASE_URL'] ?? DEFAULT_DATABASE_URL;
+  const sql = postgres(connectionString, { max: 20, idle_timeout: 30, connect_timeout: 5 });
+  const db = drizzle(sql, { schema });
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+**Problem:** Drizzle + Postgres is hardcoded. No SQLite, JSON, or file-based options.
+
+### `@mosaic/memory` (packages/memory/src/memory.ts)
+
+```typescript
+import type { Db } from '@mosaic/db'; // ← Depends on Drizzle/PG
+
+export function createMemory(db: Db): Memory {
+  return {
+    preferences: createPreferencesRepo(db),
+    insights: createInsightsRepo(db),
+  };
+}
+```
+
+**Problem:** Memory package is tightly coupled to `@mosaic/db` (which is Postgres-only). No alternative storage backends.
+
+## The Target Interfaces
+
+### Queue Interface
+
+```typescript
+// packages/queue/src/types.ts
+export interface QueueAdapter {
+  readonly name: string;
+
+  enqueue(queueName: string, payload: TaskPayload): Promise<void>;
+  dequeue(queueName: string): Promise<TaskPayload | null>;
+  length(queueName: string): Promise<number>;
+  publish(channel: string, message: string): Promise<void>;
+  subscribe(channel: string, handler: (message: string) => void): () => void;
+  close(): Promise<void>;
+}
+
+export interface TaskPayload {
+  id: string;
+  type: string;
+  data: Record<string, unknown>;
+  createdAt: string;
+}
+
+export interface QueueConfig {
+  type: 'bullmq' | 'local';
+  url?: string; // For bullmq: Valkey/Redis URL
+  dataDir?: string; // For local: directory for JSON persistence
+}
+```
+
+### Storage Interface
+
+```typescript
+// packages/storage/src/types.ts
+export interface StorageAdapter {
+  readonly name: string;
+
+  // Entity CRUD
+  create<T>(collection: string, data: O): Promise<T>;
+  read<T>(collection: string, id: string): Promise<T | null>;
+  update<T>(collection: string, id: string, data: Partial<O>): Promise<T | null>;
+  delete(collection: string, id: string): Promise<boolean>;

+
+## Three Tiers
+
+### Tier 1: Local (Zero Dependencies)
+
+**Target:** Single user, single machine, no external services
+
+| Component | Backend                                       | Storage      |
+| --------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
+| Queue     | In-process + JSON files in `~/.mosaic/queue/` |
+| Storage   | SQLite (better-sqlite3) `~/.mosaic/data.db`   |
+| Memory    | Keyword search                                | SQLite table |
+| Vector    | None                                          | N/A          |
+
+**Dependencies:**
+
+- `better-sqlite3` (bundled)
+- No Postgres, No Valkey, No pgvector
+
+**Upgrade path:**
+
+1. Run `mosaic gateway configure` → select "local" tier
+2. Gateway starts with SQLite database
+3. Optional: run `mosaic gateway upgrade --tier team` to migrate to Postgres
+
+### Tier 2: Team (Postgres + Valkey)
+
+**Target:** Multiple users, shared server, CI/CD environments
+
+| Component | Backend        | Storage                        |
+| --------- | -------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| Queue     | BullMQ         | Valkey                         |
+| Storage   | Postgres       | Shared PG instance             |
+| Memory    | pgvector       | Postgres with vector extension |
+| Vector    | LLM embeddings | Configured provider            |
+
+**Dependencies:**
+
+- PostgreSQL 17+ with pgvector extension
+- Valkey (Redis-compatible)
+- LLM provider for embeddings
+
+**Migration from Local → Team:**
+
+1. `mosaic gateway backup` → creates dump of SQLite database
+2. `mosaic gateway upgrade --tier team` → restores to Postgres
+3. Queue replays from BullMQ (may need manual reconciliation for in-flight jobs)
+4. Memory embeddings regenerated if vector search was new
+
+### Tier 3: Enterprise (Clustered)
+
+**Target:** Large teams, multi-region, high availability
+
+| Component | Backend                     | Storage                       |
+| --------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
+| Queue     | BullMQ cluster              | Multiple Valkey nodes         |
+| Storage   | Postgres cluster            | Primary + replicas            |
+| Memory    | Dedicated vector DB         | Qdrant, Pinecone, or pgvector |
+| Vector    | Dedicated embedding service | Separate microservice         |
+
+## MarkdownDB Integration
+
+For file-based storage, we use [MarkdownDB](https://markdowndb.com) to parse MD files into queryable data.
+
+**What it provides:**
+
+- Parses frontmatter (YAML/JSON/TOML)
+- Extracts links, tags, metadata
+- Builds index in JSON or SQLite
+- Queryable via SQL-like interface
+
+**Usage in Mosaic:**
+
+```typescript
+// Local tier with MD files for documents
+const storage = createStorageAdapter({
+  type: 'files',
+  path: path.join(mosaicHome, 'docs'),
+  markdowndb: {
+    parseFrontmatter: true,
+    extractLinks: true,
+    indexFile: 'index.json',
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Dream Mode — Memory Consolidation
+
+Automated equivalent to Claude Code's "Dream: Memory Consolidation" cycle
+
+**Trigger:** Every 24 hours (if 5+ sessions active)
+
+**Phases:**
+
+1. **Orient** — What happened, what's the current state
+   - Scan recent session logs
+   - Identify active tasks, missions, conversations
+   - Calculate time window (last 24h)
+
+2. **Gather** — Pull in relevant context
+   - Load conversations, decisions, agent logs
+   - Extract key interactions and outcomes
+   - Identify patterns and learnings
+
+3. **Consolidate** — Summarize and compress
+   - Generate summary of the last 24h
+   - Extract key decisions and their rationale
+   - Identify recurring patterns
+   - Compress verbose logs into concise insights
+
+4. **Prune** — Archive and cleanup
+   - Archive raw session files to dated folders
+   - Delete redundant/temporary data
+   - Update MEMORY.md with consolidated content
+   - Update insight relevance scores
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+```typescript
+// In @mosaic/dream (new package)
+export async function runDreamCycle(config: DreamConfig): Promise<DreamResult> {
+  const memory = await loadMemoryAdapter(config.storage);
+
+  // Orient
+  const sessions = await memory.getRecentSessions(24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
+  if (sessions.length < 5) return { skipped: true, reason: 'insufficient_sessions' };
+
+  // Gather
+  const context = await gatherContext(memory, sessions);
+
+  // Consolidate
+  const consolidated = await consolidateWithLLM(context, config.llm);
+
+  // Prune
+  await pruneArchivedData(memory, config.retention);
+
+  // Store consolidated insights
+  await memory.storeInsights(consolidated.insights);
+
+  return {
+    sessionsProcessed: sessions.length,
+    insightsCreated: consolidated.insights.length,
+    bytesPruned: consolidated.bytesRemoved,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Retrofit Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Interface Extraction (2-3 days)
+
+**Goal:** Define interfaces without changing existing behavior
+
+1. Create `packages/queue/src/types.ts` with `QueueAdapter` interface
+2. Create `packages/storage/src/types.ts` with `StorageAdapter` interface
+3. Create `packages/memory/src/types.ts` with `MemoryAdapter` interface (refactor existing)
+4. Add adapter registry pattern to each package
+5. No breaking changes — existing code continues to work
+
+### Phase 2: Refactor Existing to Adapters (3-5 days)
+
+**Goal:** Move existing implementations behind adapters
+
+#### 2.1 Queue Refactor
+
+1. Rename `packages/queue/src/queue.ts` → `packages/queue/src/adapters/bullmq.ts`
+2. Create `packages/queue/src/index.ts` to export factory function
+3. Factory function reads config, instantiates correct adapter
+4. Update gateway imports to use factory
+
+#### 2.2 Storage Refactor
+
+1. Create `packages/storage/` (new package)
+2. Move Drizzle logic to `packages/storage/src/adapters/postgres.ts`
+3. Create SQLite adapter in `packages/storage/src/adapters/sqlite.ts`
+4. Update gateway to use storage factory
+5. Deprecate direct `@mosaic/db` imports
+
+#### 2.3 Memory Refactor
+
+1. Extract existing logic to `packages/memory/src/adapters/pgvector.ts`
+2. Create keyword adapter in `packages/memory/src/adapters/keyword.ts`
+3. Update vector-store.ts to be adapter-agnostic
+
+### Phase 3: Local Tier Implementation (2-3 days)
+
+**Goal:** Zero-dependency baseline
+
+1. Implement `packages/queue/src/adapters/local.ts` (in-process + JSON persistence)
+2. Implement `packages/storage/src/adapters/files.ts` (JSON + MD via MarkdownDB)
+3. Implement `packages/memory/src/adapters/keyword.ts` (TF-IDF search)
+4. Add `packages/dream/` for consolidation cycle
+5. Wire up local tier in gateway startup
+
+### Phase 4: Configuration System (1-2 days)
+
+**Goal:** Runtime backend selection
+
+1. Create `packages/config/src/storage.ts` for storage configuration
+2. Add `mosaic.config.ts` schema with storage tier settings
+3. Update gateway to read config on startup
+4. Add `mosaic gateway configure` CLI command
+5. Add tier migration commands (`mosaic gateway upgrade`)
+
+### Phase 5: Testing & Documentation (2-3 days)
+
+1. Unit tests for each adapter
+2. Integration tests for factory pattern
+3. Migration tests (local → team)
+4. Update README and architecture docs
+5. Add configuration guide

+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+1. **`@mosaic/db`** → **`@mosaic/storage`** (with migration guide)
+2. Direct `ioredis` imports → Use `@mosaic/queue` factory
+3. Direct `pgvector` queries → Use `@mosaic/memory` factory
+4. Gateway startup now requires storage config (defaults to local)
+
+## Non-Breaking Migration Path
+
+1. Existing deployments with Postgres/Valkey continue to work (default config)
+2. New deployments can choose local tier
+3. Migration commands available when ready to upgrade
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Local tier runs with zero external dependencies
+- [ ] All three tiers (local, team, enterprise) work correctly
+- [ ] Factory pattern correctly selects backend at runtime
+- [ ] Migration from local → team preserves all data
+- [ ] Dream mode consolidates 24h of sessions
+- [ ] Documentation covers all three tiers and migration paths
+- [ ] All existing tests pass
+- [ ] New adapters have >80% coverage

+# Scratchpad: CI Docker Publish (2026-03-30)
+
+- Objective: Add Woodpecker Docker build+push steps for gateway and web images on `main` pushes.
+- Scope: `.woodpecker/ci.yml`.
+- Constraints:
+  - Use existing Dockerfiles at `docker/gateway.Dockerfile` and `docker/web.Dockerfile`.
+  - Publish to `git.mosaicstack.dev` with `from_secret` credentials.
+  - Tag both `latest` and `${CI_COMMIT_SHA}`.
+  - Do not run publish steps on pull requests.
+- ASSUMPTION: Publishing `latest` is required by the task for registry convenience, even though immutable tags remain the safer deployment reference.
+- Findings:
+  - Existing pipeline already has `build` after `lint`, `format`, and `test`.
+  - `apps/gateway/package.json` uses `tsc` for `build`; no Prisma dependency or `prisma generate` hook is present.
+- Plan:
+  1. Patch `.woodpecker/ci.yml` to keep `build` as the quality gate successor and add `publish-gateway` plus `publish-web`.
+  2. Validate YAML and run repo quality gates relevant to the change.
+  3. Review the diff, then commit/push/PR if validation passes.
+- Verification:
+  - `python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.woodpecker/ci.yml'))" && echo "YAML valid"`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `pnpm typecheck`
+  - `pnpm format:check`
+  - `docker compose up -d`
+  - `pnpm --filter @mosaic/db db:push`
+  - `pnpm test`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - Manual review of `.woodpecker/ci.yml` diff: publish steps are main-only, depend on `build`, and use secret-backed registry auth plus dual tags.
+- Risks:
+  - Pipeline behavior beyond YAML validation cannot be fully proven locally; remote Woodpecker execution will be the final situational check after push.
+  - Repo baseline required two existing `plugins/macp` files to be reformatted before `pnpm format:check` would pass.

+# Scratchpad — fix-ci-migrations-20260330
+
+## Objective
+
+- Fix Drizzle migration journal ordering so fresh Postgres instances apply all schema migrations in CI.
+
+## Plan
+
+- Inspect migration SQL, journal, and snapshot chain.
+- Patch metadata consistently.
+- Run full test suite.
+- Record result and risks.
+
+## Progress
+
+- Inspected migration files and confirmed 0001_cynical_ultimatum.sql is missing from journal while 0002 depends on it.
+- Patched `packages/db/drizzle/meta/_journal.json` to insert `0001_cynical_ultimatum` at idx 1 and shift later entries to idx 2-7.
+- Verified snapshot content is already semantically aligned with the fixed ordering: the missing tables exist in `0001_snapshot.json`, and `mutable` appears in later snapshots.
+- Installed workspace dependencies in this worktree to make the requested test command runnable.
+- Ran `pnpm test` successfully; gateway reported `347 passed (347)` and Turbo finished with `35 successful, 35 total`.

+# Task Scratchpad — Turbo DATABASE_URL passthrough
+
+## Objective
+
+- Fix CI test execution under Turborepo by passing DB-related environment variables through the `test` task.
+- Preserve the repo's documented local Postgres fallback on host port `5433`.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Edit `turbo.json`
+- Run baseline checks requested by the user and repo rules where feasible
+- Publish branch and open PR if checks are acceptable
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- ASSUMPTION: No PRD update is required because this is a narrow CI/config bug fix that does not change product requirements.
+- ASSUMPTION: `docs/TASKS.md` remains untouched because project guidance marks it orchestrator-only.
+- ASSUMPTION: Local Postgres-backed tests are not runnable in this worktree, so baseline verification will rely on static gates unless the environment already provides DB access.
+
+## Plan
+
+- Record current repo state and avoid touching `.mosaic/orchestrator/session.lock`
+- Add Turbo DB env declarations for test execution and cache invalidation
+- Run `pnpm format:check`, `pnpm typecheck`, and `pnpm lint`
+- Review the diff, then commit/push/PR via provider-appropriate flow
+
+## Verification Log
+
+- `pnpm install` completed in this worktree so repo tooling is available
+- `pnpm format:check` initially failed on `turbo.json`; fixed by formatting the file
+- `pnpm format:check` passed after formatting
+- `pnpm typecheck` passed
+- `pnpm lint` passed
+- Independent review flagged two important adjustments:
+  - keep `DEFAULT_DATABASE_URL` on `5433` because local Docker Compose maps host `5433 -> container 5432`
+  - prefer Turbo `env` over `passThroughEnv` so DB config changes also affect the test cache key
+
+## Risks
+
+- Existing mission/orchestrator files are dirty in the worktree and must be excluded from the scoped change.
+- Local tests were not run because no Postgres service is available in this worktree; CI remains the primary situational validation for the test-task behavior.

+# Scratchpad: MACP OC Bridge (2026-03-30)

+- Objective: Replace the OpenClaw MACP plugin's Pi-direct `runTurn` with the MACP controller queue bridge.
+- Scope: `plugins/macp/src/macp-runtime.ts`, `plugins/macp/src/index.ts`, `plugins/macp/openclaw.plugin.json`, `plugins/macp/README.md`.
+- Plan:
+  1. Read controller/dispatcher/plugin docs and confirm queue/result contract.
+  2. Queue tasks through `.mosaic/orchestrator/tasks.json` using a brief file and controller trigger.
+  3. Poll result JSON, stream output back to ACP, then validate with typecheck/format checks.
+- Risks:
+  - The repo orchestrator must be enabled in `.mosaic/orchestrator/config.json`.
+  - Result JSON does not always embed worker output, so the runtime falls back to metadata-linked output files or a formatted result summary.
+- Verification:
+  - `npx tsc --noEmit --target es2022 --module nodenext --moduleResolution nodenext --skipLibCheck plugins/macp/src/macp-runtime.ts plugins/macp/src/index.ts`
+  - `pnpm prettier --write "plugins/macp/**/*.{ts,json,md}"`
+  - `pnpm format:check`
+  - `npx tsc --noEmit -p plugins/macp/tsconfig.json` still fails in this branch because `plugins/macp/tsconfig.json` extends a missing `packages/config/typescript/library.json` file and also pulls in pre-existing external OpenClaw type noise.

+# WP1: packages/forge — Forge Pipeline Package
+
+## Context
+
+Port the Forge progressive refinement pipeline from Python (~/src/mosaic-stack/forge/) to TypeScript as `packages/forge` in this monorepo. The pipeline markdown assets (stages, agents, personas, rails, gates, templates) are already copied to `packages/forge/pipeline/`. This task is the TypeScript implementation layer.
+
+**Board decisions that constrain this work:**
+
+- Abstract TaskExecutor interface — packages/forge must NOT hard-import packages/coord. Define an abstract interface; coord satisfies it.
+- Clean index.ts exports, no internal path leakage, no hardcoded paths
+- 85% test coverage on TS implementation files (markdown assets excluded)
+- Test strategy for non-deterministic AI orchestration: fixture-based integration tests
+- OpenBrain is OUT OF SCOPE
+- ESM only, zero Python
+
+**Dependencies available:**
+
+- `@mosaic/macp` (packages/macp) is built and provides: GateEntry, GateResult, Task types, credential resolution, gate running, event emission
+
+## Source Files (Python → TypeScript)

+**Source:** `classify_brief()`, `parse_brief_frontmatter()`, `stages_for_class()` from `~/src/mosaic-stack/forge/lib`
+
+- Auto-classify brief by keyword analysis (strategic vs technical)
+- Parse YAML frontmatter for explicit `class:` field
+- CLI flag override
+- Return stage list based on classification (strategic = full pipeline, technical = skip board, hotfix = skip board + brief analyzer)
+
+### 4. stage-adapter.ts
+
+**Source:** `~/src/mosaic-stack/forge/pipeline/orchestrator/stage_adapter.py`
+
+- `mapStageToTask()`: Convert a Forge stage into a task compatible with TaskExecutor
+- Stage briefs written to `{runDir}/{stageName}/brief.md`
+- Result paths at `{runDir}/{stageName}/result.json`
+- Previous results read from disk at runtime (not baked into brief)
+- Per-stage timeouts from STAGE_TIMEOUTS
+- depends_on chain built from stage sequence
+
+### 5. board-tasks.ts
+
+**Source:** `~/src/mosaic-stack/forge/pipeline/orchestrator/board_tasks.py`
+
+- `loadBoardPersonas()`: Read all .md files from `pipeline/agents/board/`
+- `generateBoardTasks()`: One task per persona + synthesis task
+- Synthesis depends on all persona tasks with `depends_on_policy: 'all_terminal'`
+- Persona briefs include role description + brief under review
+- Synthesis script merges independent reviews into board memo
+
+### 6. pipeline-runner.ts
+
+**Source:** `~/src/mosaic-stack/forge/pipeline/orchestrator/pipeline_runner.py` + `~/src/mosaic-stack/forge/lib` (cmd_run, cmd_resume, cmd_status)
+
+- `runPipeline(briefPath, projectRoot, options)`: Full pipeline execution
+- Creates run directory at `{projectRoot}/.forge/runs/{runId}/`
+- Generates tasks for all stages, submits to TaskExecutor
+- Tracks manifest.json with stage statuses
+- `resumePipeline(runDir)`: Pick up from last incomplete stage
+- `getPipelineStatus(runDir)`: Read manifest and report
+
+**Key difference from Python:** Run output goes to PROJECT-scoped `.forge/runs/`, not inside the Forge package.
+
+### 7. Persona Override System (NEW — not in Python)
+
+- Base personas read from `packages/forge/pipeline/agents/`
+- Project overrides read from `{projectRoot}/.forge/personas/{role}.md`
+- Merge strategy: project persona content APPENDED to base persona (not replaced)
+- Board composition configurable via `{projectRoot}/.forge/config.yaml`
+- If no project config exists, use defaults (all base personas, no overrides)

+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "@mosaic/forge",
+  "version": "0.0.1",
+  "type": "module",
+  "exports": {
+    ".": "./src/index.ts"
+  },
+  "dependencies": {
+    "@mosaic/macp": "workspace:*"
+  },
+  "devDependencies": {
+    "vitest": "workspace:*",
+    "typescript": "workspace:*"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Only dependency: @mosaic/macp (for gate types, event emission).
+
+## Test Strategy (Board requirement)
+
+**Deterministic code (brief-classifier, stage-adapter, board-tasks, persona-loader, constants):**
+
+- Standard unit tests with known inputs/outputs
+- 100% of classification logic, stage mapping, persona loading covered
+
+**Non-deterministic code (pipeline-runner):**
+
+- Fixture-based integration tests using a mock TaskExecutor
+- Mock executor returns pre-recorded results for each stage
+- Tests verify: manifest progression, stage ordering, dependency enforcement, resume behavior, error handling
+- NO real AI calls in tests
+
+**Markdown assets:** Excluded from coverage measurement (configure vitest to exclude `pipeline/` directory).
+
+## ESM Requirements
+
+- `"type": "module"` in package.json
+- NodeNext module resolution in tsconfig
+- `.js` extensions in all imports
+- No CommonJS
+
+## Key Design: Abstract TaskExecutor
+
+```typescript
+// In packages/forge/src/types.ts
+export interface TaskExecutor {
+  submitTask(task: ForgeTask): Promise<void>;
+  waitForCompletion(taskId: string, timeoutMs: number): Promise<TaskResult>;
+  getTaskStatus(taskId: string): Promise<TaskStatus>;
+}
+
+// In packages/coord (or wherever the concrete impl lives)
+export class CoordTaskExecutor implements TaskExecutor {
+  // ... uses packages/coord runner
+}
+```
+
+This means packages/forge can be tested with a mock executor and deployed with any backend.
+
+## Asset Resolution
+
+Pipeline markdown assets (stages, personas, rails) must be resolved relative to the package installation, NOT hardcoded paths:
+
+```typescript
+// Use import.meta.url to find package root
+const PACKAGE_ROOT = new URL('..', import.meta.url).pathname;
+const PIPELINE_DIR = path.join(PACKAGE_ROOT, 'pipeline');
+```
+
+Project-level overrides resolved relative to projectRoot parameter.

+# WP2: packages/macp — MACP Protocol Package
+
+## Context
+
+Port the MACP protocol layer from Python (in ~/src/mosaic-stack/tools/macp/) to TypeScript as `packages/macp` in this monorepo. This package provides the foundational protocol types, quality gate execution, credential resolution, and event system that `packages/coord` and `plugins/macp` depend on.
+
+**Board decisions that constrain this work:**
+
+- No Python in the new repo — everything rewrites to TypeScript
+- OpenBrain learning capture/recall is OUT OF SCOPE (deferred to future brief)
+- 85% test coverage on TS implementation files
+- Credential resolver behavior must be captured as test fixtures BEFORE rewrite
+- Clean index.ts exports, no internal path leakage
+
+## Source Files (Python → TypeScript)
+
+### 1. credential-resolver.ts
+
+**Source:** `~/src/mosaic-stack/tools/macp/dispatcher/credential_resolver.py`
+
+Resolution order (MUST preserve exactly):
+
+1. Mosaic credential files (`~/.config/mosaic/credentials/{provider}.env`)
+2. OpenClaw config (`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`) — env block + models.providers.{provider}.apiKey
+3. Ambient environment variables
+4. CredentialError (failure)
+
+Key behaviors to preserve:
+
+- Provider registry: anthropic, openai, zai → env var names + credential file paths + OC config paths
+- Dotenv parser: handles single/double quotes, comments, blank lines
+- JSON5 stripping: placeholder-extraction approach (NOT naive regex) — protects URLs and timestamps inside string values
+- OC config permission check: warn on world-readable, skip if wrong owner
+- Redacted marker detection: `__OPENCLAW_REDACTED__` values skipped
+- Task-level override via `credentials.provider_key_env`
+
+### 2. gate-runner.ts
+
+**Source:** `~/src/mosaic-stack/tools/macp/controller/gate_runner.py`
+
+Three gate types:
+
+- `mechanical`: shell command, pass = exit code 0
+- `ai-review`: shell command producing JSON, parse findings, fail on blockers
+- `ci-pipeline`: placeholder (always passes for now)
+
+Key behaviors:
+
+- `normalize_gate()`: accepts string or dict, normalizes to gate entry
+- `run_gate()`: executes single gate, returns result with pass/fail
+- `run_gates()`: executes all gates, emits events, returns (all_passed, results)
+- AI review parsing: `_count_ai_findings()` reads stats.blockers or findings[].severity
+- `fail_on` modes: "blocker" (default) or "any"
+
+### 3. event-emitter.ts
+
+**Source:** `~/src/mosaic-stack/tools/macp/controller/gate_runner.py` (emit_event, append_event functions) + `~/src/mosaic-stack/tools/macp/events/`
+
+- Append structured events to ndjson file
+- Event types: task.assigned, task.started, task.completed, task.failed, task.escalated, task.gated, task.retry.scheduled, rail.check.started, rail.check.passed, rail.check.failed
+- Each event: event_id (uuid), event_type, task_id, status, timestamp, source, message, metadata
+
+### 4. types.ts
+
+**Source:** `~/src/mosaic-stack/tools/macp/protocol/task.schema.json`
+
+TypeScript types for:
+
+- Task (id, title, status, dispatch, runtime, depends_on, depends_on_policy, quality_gates, timeout_seconds, metadata, etc.)
+- Event (event_id, event_type, task_id, status, timestamp, source, message, metadata)
+- GateResult (command, exit_code, type, passed, output, findings, blockers)
+- TaskResult (task_id, status, completed_at, exit_code, gate_results, files_changed, etc.)
+- CredentialError, ProviderRegistry
+
+### 5. schemas/ (copy)
+
+Copy `~/src/mosaic-stack/tools/macp/protocol/task.schema.json` as-is.

+}
+```
+
+Zero external dependencies. Uses node:fs, node:path, node:child_process, node:crypto only.
+
+## Test Requirements
+
+Port ALL existing Python tests as TypeScript equivalents:
+
+- `test_resolve_from_file` → credential file resolution
+- `test_resolve_from_ambient` → ambient env resolution
+- `test_resolve_from_oc_config_env_block` → OC config env block
+- `test_resolve_from_oc_config_provider_apikey` → OC config provider
+- `test_oc_config_precedence` → mosaic file wins over OC config
+- `test_oc_config_missing_file` → graceful fallback
+- `test_json5_strip` → structural transforms
+- `test_json5_strip_urls_and_timestamps` → URLs/timestamps survive
+- `test_redacted_values_skipped` → redacted marker detection
+- `test_oc_config_permission_warning` → file permission check
+- `test_resolve_missing_raises` → CredentialError thrown
+- Gate runner: mechanical pass/fail, AI review parsing, ci-pipeline placeholder
+- Event emitter: append to ndjson, event structure validation
+
+## ESM Requirements
+
+- `"type": "module"` in package.json
+- NodeNext module resolution in tsconfig
+- `.js` extensions in all imports
+- No CommonJS (`require`, `module.exports`)
+
+## Integration Points
+
+After this package is built:
+
+- `packages/coord` should import `@mosaic/macp` for event emission and gate types
+- `plugins/macp` should import `@mosaic/macp` for credential resolution and protocol types

+# WP3: plugins/mosaic-framework — OC Rails Injection Plugin
+
+## Context
+
+Port the OpenClaw framework plugin from ~/src/mosaic-stack/oc-plugins/mosaic-framework/ to `plugins/mosaic-framework` in this monorepo. This plugin injects Mosaic framework contracts (rails, completion gates, worktree requirements) into every OpenClaw agent session.
+
+**This is SEPARATE from plugins/macp:**
+
+- `mosaic-framework` = passive enforcement — injects rails into all OC sessions
+- `macp` = active runtime — provides ACP backend for MACP task execution
+
+## Source Files
+
+**Source:** `~/src/mosaic-stack/oc-plugins/mosaic-framework/`
+
+- `index.ts` — plugin hooks (before_agent_start, subagent_spawning)
+- `openclaw.plugin.json` — plugin manifest
+- `package.json`
+
+## What It Does
+
+### For OC native agents (before_agent_start hook):
+
+- Injects Mosaic global hard rules via `appendSystemContext`
+- Completion gates: code review ✓ | security review ✓ | tests GREEN ✓ | CI green ✓
+- Worker completion protocol: open PR → fire system event → EXIT — never merge
+- Worktree requirement: `~/src/{repo}-worktrees/{task-slug}`, never `/tmp`
+- Injects dynamic mission state via `prependContext` (reads from project's `.mosaic/orchestrator/mission.json`)
+
+### For ACP coding workers (subagent_spawning hook):
+
+- Writes `~/.codex/instructions.md` or `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` BEFORE the process starts
+- Full runtime contract: mandatory load order, hard gates, mode declaration
+- Global framework rules + worktree + completion gate requirements
+
+## Implementation
+
+Port the TypeScript source, updating hardcoded paths to be configurable. The OC plugin SDK imports should reference the installed OpenClaw location dynamically (not hardcoded `/home/jarvis/` paths like the OLD version).
+
+**Structure:**
+
+```
+plugins/mosaic-framework/
+├── src/
+│   └── index.ts
+├── openclaw.plugin.json
+├── package.json
+└── tsconfig.json
+```
+
+## Key Constraint
+
+The plugin SDK imports in the OLD version use absolute paths:
+
+```typescript
+import type { OpenClawPluginApi } from '/home/jarvis/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/dist/plugin-sdk/index.js';
+```
+
+This must be resolved dynamically or via a peer dependency. Check how `plugins/macp` handles this in the new repo and follow the same pattern.
+
+## Tests
+
+Minimal — plugin hooks are integration-tested against OC runtime. Unit test the context string builders and config resolution.

+# Authentication & Authorization Guide
+
+## Before Starting
+
+1. Check assigned issue: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/issue-list.sh -a @me`
+2. Review existing auth implementation in codebase
+3. Review Vault secrets structure: `docs/vault-secrets-structure.md`
+
+## Authentication Patterns
+
+### JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
+
+```
+Vault Path: secret-{env}/backend-api/jwt/signing-key
+Fields: key, algorithm, expiry_seconds
+```
+
+**Best Practices:**
+
+- Use RS256 or ES256 (asymmetric) for distributed systems
+- Use HS256 (symmetric) only for single-service auth
+- Set reasonable expiry (15min-1hr for access tokens)
+- Include minimal claims (sub, exp, iat, roles)
+- Never store sensitive data in JWT payload
+
+### Session-Based
+
+```
+Vault Path: secret-{env}/{service}/session/secret
+Fields: secret, cookie_name, max_age
+```
+
+**Best Practices:**
+
+- Use secure, httpOnly, sameSite cookies
+- Regenerate session ID on privilege change
+- Implement session timeout
+- Store sessions server-side (Redis/database)
+
+### OAuth2/OIDC
+
+```
+Vault Paths:
+- secret-{env}/{service}/oauth/{provider}/client_id
+- secret-{env}/{service}/oauth/{provider}/client_secret
+```
+
+**Best Practices:**
+
+- Use PKCE for public clients
+- Validate state parameter
+- Verify token signatures
+- Check issuer and audience claims
+
+## Authorization Patterns
+
+### Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
+
+```python
+# Example middleware
+def require_role(roles: list):
+    def decorator(handler):
+        def wrapper(request):
+            user_roles = get_user_roles(request.user_id)
+            if not any(role in user_roles for role in roles):
+                raise ForbiddenError()
+            return handler(request)
+        return wrapper
+    return decorator
+
+@require_role(['admin', 'moderator'])
+def delete_user(request):
+    pass
+```
+
+### Permission-Based
+
+```python
+# Check specific permissions
+def check_permission(user_id, resource, action):
+    permissions = get_user_permissions(user_id)
+    return f"{resource}:{action}" in permissions
+```
+
+## Security Requirements
+
+### Password Handling
+
+- Use bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2 for hashing
+- Minimum 12 character passwords
+- Check against breached password lists
+- Implement account lockout after failed attempts
+
+### Token Security
+
+- Rotate secrets regularly
+- Implement token revocation
+- Use short-lived access tokens with refresh tokens
+- Store refresh tokens securely (httpOnly cookies or encrypted storage)
+
+### Multi-Factor Authentication
+
+- Support TOTP (Google Authenticator compatible)
+- Consider WebAuthn for passwordless
+- Require MFA for sensitive operations
+
+## Testing Authentication
+
+### Test Cases Required
+
+```python
+class TestAuthentication:
+    def test_login_success_returns_token(self):
+        pass
+    def test_login_failure_returns_401(self):
+        pass
+    def test_invalid_token_returns_401(self):
+        pass
+    def test_expired_token_returns_401(self):
+        pass
+    def test_missing_token_returns_401(self):
+        pass
+    def test_insufficient_permissions_returns_403(self):
+        pass
+    def test_token_refresh_works(self):
+        pass
+    def test_logout_invalidates_token(self):
+        pass
+```
+
+## Authentik SSO Administration
+
+Authentik is the identity provider for the Mosaic Stack. Use the Authentik tool suite for administration.
+
+### Tool Suite
+
+```bash
+# System health
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/authentik/admin-status.sh
+
+# User management
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/authentik/user-list.sh
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/authentik/user-create.sh -u <username> -n <name> -e <email>
+
+# Group and app management
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/authentik/group-list.sh
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/authentik/app-list.sh
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/authentik/flow-list.sh
+```
+
+### Registering an OAuth Application
+
+1. Create an OAuth2 provider in Authentik admin (Applications > Providers)
+2. Create an application linked to the provider (Applications > Applications)
+3. Configure redirect URIs for the application
+4. Store client_id and client_secret in Vault: `secret-{env}/{service}/oauth/authentik/`
+5. Verify with: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/authentik/app-list.sh`
+
+### API Reference
+
+- Base URL: `https://auth.diversecanvas.com`
+- API prefix: `/api/v3/`
+- OpenAPI schema: `/api/v3/schema/`
+- Auth: Bearer token (obtained via `auth-token.sh`)
+
+## Common Vulnerabilities to Avoid
+
+1. **Broken Authentication**
+   - Weak password requirements
+   - Missing brute-force protection
+   - Session fixation
+
+2. **Broken Access Control**
+   - Missing authorization checks
+   - IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference)
+   - Privilege escalation
+
+3. **Security Misconfiguration**
+   - Default credentials
+   - Verbose error messages
+   - Missing security headers

+# Backend Development Guide
+
+## Before Starting
+
+1. Check assigned issue: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/issue-list.sh -a @me`
+2. Create scratchpad: `docs/scratchpads/{issue-number}-{short-name}.md`
+3. Review API contracts and database schema
+
+## Development Standards
+
+### API Design
+
+- Follow RESTful conventions (or GraphQL patterns if applicable)
+- Use consistent endpoint naming: `/api/v1/resource-name`
+- Return appropriate HTTP status codes
+- Include pagination for list endpoints
+- Document all endpoints (OpenAPI/Swagger preferred)
+
+### Database
+
+- Write migrations for schema changes
+- Use parameterized queries (prevent SQL injection)
+- Index frequently queried columns
+- Document relationships and constraints
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Return structured error responses
+- Log errors with context (request ID, user ID if applicable)
+- Never expose internal errors to clients
+- Use appropriate error codes
+
+```json
+{
+  "error": {
+    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
+    "message": "User-friendly message",
+    "details": []
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Security
+
+- Validate all input at API boundaries
+- Implement rate limiting on public endpoints
+- Use secrets from Vault (see `docs/vault-secrets-structure.md`)
+- Never log sensitive data (passwords, tokens, PII)
+- Follow OWASP guidelines
+
+### Authentication/Authorization
+
+- Use project's established auth pattern
+- Validate tokens on every request
+- Check permissions before operations
+- See `~/.config/mosaic/guides/AUTHENTICATION.md` for details
+
+## Testing Requirements (TDD)
+
+1. Write tests BEFORE implementation
+2. Minimum 85% coverage
+3. Test categories:
+   - Unit tests for business logic
+   - Integration tests for API endpoints
+   - Database tests with transactions/rollback
+
+### Test Patterns
+
+```python
+# API test example structure
+class TestResourceEndpoint:
+    def test_create_returns_201(self):
+        pass
+    def test_create_validates_input(self):
+        pass
+    def test_get_returns_404_for_missing(self):
+        pass
+    def test_requires_authentication(self):
+        pass
+```
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Follow Google Style Guide for your language
+- **TypeScript: Follow `~/.config/mosaic/guides/TYPESCRIPT.md` — MANDATORY**
+- Use linter/formatter from project configuration
+- Keep functions focused and small
+- Document complex business logic
+
+### TypeScript Quick Rules (see TYPESCRIPT.md for full guide)
+
+- **NO `any`** — define explicit types always
+- **NO lazy `unknown`** — only for error catches and external data with validation
+- **Explicit return types** on all exported functions
+- **Explicit parameter types** always
+- **DTO files are REQUIRED** for module/API boundaries (`*.dto.ts`)
+- **Interface for DTOs** — never inline object types
+- **Typed errors** — use custom error classes
+
+## Performance
+
+- Use database connection pooling
+- Implement caching where appropriate
+- Profile slow endpoints
+- Use async operations for I/O
+
+## Commit Format
+
+```

+
+- POST /api/v1/users for registration
+- Email validation and uniqueness check
+- Password hashing with bcrypt
+
+Fixes #45
+```

+# Project Bootstrap Guide
+
+> Load this guide when setting up a new project for AI-assisted development.
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide covers how to bootstrap a project so AI agents (Claude, Codex, etc.) can work on it effectively. Proper bootstrapping ensures:
+
+1. Agents understand the project structure and conventions
+2. Orchestration works correctly with quality gates
+3. Independent code review and security review are configured
+4. Issue tracking is consistent across projects
+5. Documentation standards and API contracts are enforced from day one
+6. PRD requirements are established before coding begins
+7. Branching/merging is consistent: `branch -> main` via PR with squash-only merges
+8. Steered-autonomy execution is enabled so agents can run end-to-end with escalation-only human intervention
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Automated bootstrap (recommended)
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/bootstrap/init-project.sh \
+  --name "my-project" \
+  --type "nestjs-nextjs" \
+  --repo "https://git.mosaicstack.dev/owner/repo"
+
+# Or manually using templates
+export PROJECT_NAME="My Project"
+export PROJECT_DESCRIPTION="What this project does"
+export TASK_PREFIX="MP"
+envsubst < ~/.config/mosaic/templates/agent/AGENTS.md.template > AGENTS.md
+envsubst < ~/.config/mosaic/templates/agent/CLAUDE.md.template > CLAUDE.md
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 0: Enforce Sequential-Thinking MCP (Hard Requirement)
+
+`sequential-thinking` MCP must be installed and configured before project bootstrapping.
+
+```bash
+# Auto-configure sequential-thinking MCP for installed runtimes
+~/.config/mosaic/bin/mosaic-ensure-sequential-thinking
+
+# Verification-only check
+~/.config/mosaic/bin/mosaic-ensure-sequential-thinking --check
+```
+
+If this step fails, STOP and remediate Mosaic runtime configuration before continuing.
+

+
+## Step 1: Detect Project Type
+
+Check what files exist in the project root to determine the type:
+
+| File Present                                            | Project Type              | Template                  |
+| ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------- |
+| `package.json` + `pnpm-workspace.yaml` + NestJS+Next.js | NestJS + Next.js Monorepo | `projects/nestjs-nextjs/` |
+| `pyproject.toml` + `manage.py`                          | Django                    | `projects/django/`        |
+| `pyproject.toml` (no Django)                            | Python (generic)          | Generic template          |
+| `package.json` (no monorepo)                            | Node.js (generic)         | Generic template          |
+| Other                                                   | Generic                   | Generic template          |
+
+```bash
+# Auto-detect project type
+detect_project_type() {
+  if [[ -f "pnpm-workspace.yaml" ]] && [[ -f "turbo.json" ]]; then
+    # Check for NestJS + Next.js
+    if grep -q "nestjs" package.json 2>/dev/null && grep -q "next" package.json 2>/dev/null; then
+      echo "nestjs-nextjs"
+      return
+    fi
+  fi
+  if [[ -f "manage.py" ]] && [[ -f "pyproject.toml" ]]; then
+    echo "django"
+    return
+  fi
+  if [[ -f "pyproject.toml" ]]; then
+    echo "python"
+    return
+  fi
+  if [[ -f "package.json" ]]; then
+    echo "nodejs"
+    return
+  fi
+  echo "generic"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Create AGENTS.md (Primary Project Contract)
+
+`AGENTS.md` is the primary project-level contract for all agent runtimes.
+It defines project-specific requirements, quality gates, patterns, and testing expectations.
+
+### Using a Tech-Stack Template
+
+```bash
+# Set variables
+export PROJECT_NAME="My Project"
+export PROJECT_DESCRIPTION="Multi-tenant SaaS platform"
+export PROJECT_DIR="my-project"
+export REPO_URL="https://git.mosaicstack.dev/owner/repo"
+export TASK_PREFIX="MP"
+
+# Use tech-stack-specific template if available
+TYPE=$(detect_project_type)
+TEMPLATE_DIR="$HOME/.config/mosaic/templates/agent/projects/$TYPE"
+
+if [[ -d "$TEMPLATE_DIR" ]]; then
+  envsubst < "$TEMPLATE_DIR/AGENTS.md.template" > AGENTS.md
+else
+  envsubst < "$HOME/.config/mosaic/templates/agent/AGENTS.md.template" > AGENTS.md
+fi
+```
+
+### Using the Generic Template
+
+```bash
+# Set all required variables
+export PROJECT_NAME="My Project"
+export PROJECT_DESCRIPTION="What this project does"
+export REPO_URL="https://git.mosaicstack.dev/owner/repo"
+export PROJECT_DIR="my-project"
+export SOURCE_DIR="src"
+export CONFIG_FILES="pyproject.toml / package.json"
+export FRONTEND_STACK="N/A"
+export BACKEND_STACK="Python / FastAPI"
+export DATABASE_STACK="PostgreSQL"
+export TESTING_STACK="pytest"
+export DEPLOYMENT_STACK="Docker"
+export BUILD_COMMAND="pip install -e ."
+export TEST_COMMAND="pytest tests/"
+export LINT_COMMAND="ruff check ."
+export TYPECHECK_COMMAND="mypy ."
+export QUALITY_GATES="ruff check . && mypy . && pytest tests/"
+
+envsubst < ~/.config/mosaic/templates/agent/AGENTS.md.template > AGENTS.md
+```
+
+### Required Sections
+
+Every AGENTS.md should contain:
+
+1. **Project description** — One-line summary
+2. **Quality gates** — Commands that must pass
+3. **Codebase patterns** — Reusable implementation rules
+4. **Common gotchas** — Non-obvious constraints
+5. **Testing approaches** — Project-specific test strategy
+6. **Testing policy** — Situational-first validation and risk-based TDD
+7. **Orchestrator integration** — Task prefix, worker checklist
+8. **Documentation contract** — Required documentation gates and update expectations
+9. **PRD requirement** — `docs/PRD.md` or `docs/PRD.json` required before coding
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Create Runtime Context File (Runtime-Specific)
+
+Runtime context files are runtime adapters. They are not the primary project contract.
+Use `CLAUDE.md` for Claude runtime compatibility. Use other runtime adapters as required by your environment.
+
+Claude runtime mandate (HARD RULE):
+
+- `CLAUDE.md` MUST explicitly instruct Claude agents to read and use `AGENTS.md`.
+- `CLAUDE.md` MUST treat `AGENTS.md` as the authoritative project-level contract.
+- If `AGENTS.md` and runtime wording conflict, `AGENTS.md` project rules win.
+
+```bash
+TYPE=$(detect_project_type)
+TEMPLATE_DIR="$HOME/.config/mosaic/templates/agent/projects/$TYPE"
+
+if [[ -d "$TEMPLATE_DIR" ]]; then
+  envsubst < "$TEMPLATE_DIR/CLAUDE.md.template" > CLAUDE.md
+else
+  envsubst < "$HOME/.config/mosaic/templates/agent/CLAUDE.md.template" > CLAUDE.md
+fi
+```
+
+### Required Runtime Sections
+
+Every runtime context file should contain:
+
+1. **AGENTS handoff rule** — Runtime MUST direct agents to read/use `AGENTS.md`
+2. **Conditional documentation loading** — Required guide loading map
+3. **Technology stack** — Runtime-facing architecture summary
+4. **Repository structure** — Important paths
+5. **Development workflow** — Build/test/lint/typecheck commands
+6. **Issue tracking** — Issue and commit conventions
+7. **Code review** — Required review process
+8. **Runtime notes** — Runtime-specific behavior references
+9. **Branch and merge policy** — Trunk workflow (`branch -> main` via PR, squash-only)
+10. **Autonomy and escalation policy** — Agent owns coding/review/PR/release/deploy lifecycle
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Create Directory Structure
+
+```bash
+# Create standard directories
+mkdir -p docs/scratchpads
+mkdir -p docs/templates
+mkdir -p docs/reports/qa-automation/pending
+mkdir -p docs/reports/qa-automation/in-progress
+mkdir -p docs/reports/qa-automation/done
+mkdir -p docs/reports/qa-automation/escalated
+mkdir -p docs/reports/deferred
+mkdir -p docs/tasks
+mkdir -p docs/releases
+mkdir -p docs/USER-GUIDE docs/ADMIN-GUIDE docs/DEVELOPER-GUIDE docs/API
+
+# Documentation baseline files
+touch docs/USER-GUIDE/README.md
+touch docs/ADMIN-GUIDE/README.md
+touch docs/DEVELOPER-GUIDE/README.md
+touch docs/API/OPENAPI.yaml
+touch docs/API/ENDPOINTS.md
+touch docs/SITEMAP.md
+
+# PRD baseline file (requirements source before coding)
+cp ~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/PRD.md.template docs/PRD.md
+
+# TASKS baseline file (canonical tracking)
+cp ~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/TASKS.md.template docs/TASKS.md
+
+# Deployment baseline file (target/platform/runbook)
+touch docs/DEPLOYMENT.md
+```
+
+Documentation root hygiene (HARD RULE):
+
+- Keep `docs/` root clean.
+- Store reports in `docs/reports/`, archived task artifacts in `docs/tasks/`, releases in `docs/releases/`, and scratchpads in `docs/scratchpads/`.
+- Do not place ad-hoc report files directly under `docs/`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Initialize Repository Labels & Milestones
+
+```bash
+# Use the init script
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/bootstrap/init-repo-labels.sh
+
+# Or manually create standard labels
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/issue-create.sh  # (labels are created on first use)
+```
+
+### Standard Labels
+
+| Label           | Color     | Purpose                                |
+| --------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------- |
+| `epic`          | `#3E4B9E` | Large feature spanning multiple issues |
+| `feature`       | `#0E8A16` | New functionality                      |
+| `bug`           | `#D73A4A` | Defect fix                             |
+| `task`          | `#0075CA` | General work item                      |
+| `documentation` | `#0075CA` | Documentation updates                  |
+| `security`      | `#B60205` | Security-related                       |
+| `breaking`      | `#D93F0B` | Breaking change                        |
+
+### Initial Milestone (Hard Rule)
+
+Create the first pre-MVP milestone at `0.0.1`.
+Reserve `0.1.0` for the MVP release milestone.
+
+```bash
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/milestone-create.sh -t "0.0.1" -d "Pre-MVP - Foundation Sprint"
+
+# Create when MVP scope is complete and release-ready:
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/milestone-create.sh -t "0.1.0" -d "MVP - Minimum Viable Product"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5b: Configure Main Branch Protection (Hard Rule)
+
+Apply equivalent settings in Gitea, GitHub, or GitLab:
+
+1. Protect `main` from direct pushes.
+2. Require pull requests to merge into `main`.
+3. Require required CI/status checks to pass before merge.
+4. Require code review approval before merge.
+5. Allow **squash merge only** for PRs into `main` (disable merge commits and rebase merges for `main`).
+
+This enforces one merge strategy across human and agent workflows.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6: Set Up CI/CD Review Pipeline
+
+### Woodpecker CI
+
+```bash
+# Copy Codex review pipeline
+mkdir -p .woodpecker/schemas
+cp ~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/woodpecker/codex-review.yml .woodpecker/
+cp ~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/schemas/*.json .woodpecker/schemas/
+
+# Add codex_api_key secret to Woodpecker CI dashboard
+```
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+For GitHub repos, use the official Codex GitHub Action instead:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/codex-review.yml
+uses: openai/codex-action@v1
+```
+
+### Python Package Publishing (Gitea PyPI)
+
+If the project publishes Python packages, use Gitea's PyPI registry.
+
+```bash
+# Build and publish
+python -m pip install --upgrade build twine
+python -m build
+python -m twine upload \
+  --repository-url "https://GITEA_HOST/api/packages/ORG/pypi" \
+  --username "$GITEA_USERNAME" \
+  --password "$GITEA_TOKEN" \
+  dist/*
+```
+
+Use the same `gitea_username` and `gitea_token` CI secrets used for container and npm publishing.
+
+---
+
+## Step 7: Verify Bootstrap
+
+After bootstrapping, verify everything works:
+
+```bash
+# Check files exist
+ls AGENTS.md docs/scratchpads/
+ls docs/reports/qa-automation/pending docs/reports/deferred docs/tasks docs/releases
+ls docs/USER-GUIDE/README.md docs/ADMIN-GUIDE/README.md docs/DEVELOPER-GUIDE/README.md
+ls docs/API/OPENAPI.yaml docs/API/ENDPOINTS.md docs/SITEMAP.md
+ls docs/PRD.md
+ls docs/TASKS.md
+
+# Verify AGENTS.md has required sections
+grep -c "Quality Gates" AGENTS.md
+grep -c "Orchestrator Integration" AGENTS.md
+grep -c "Testing Approaches" AGENTS.md
+grep -c "Testing Policy" AGENTS.md
+grep -c "Documentation Contract" AGENTS.md
+grep -c "PRD Requirement" AGENTS.md
+
+# Verify runtime context file has required sections
+if [[ -f CLAUDE.md ]]; then
+  grep -c "AGENTS.md" CLAUDE.md
+  grep -c "Conditional Documentation Loading" CLAUDE.md
+  grep -c "Technology Stack" CLAUDE.md
+  grep -c "Code Review" CLAUDE.md
+elif [[ -f RUNTIME.md ]]; then
+  grep -c "Conditional Documentation Loading" RUNTIME.md
+  grep -c "Technology Stack" RUNTIME.md
+  grep -c "Code Review" RUNTIME.md
+else
+  echo "Missing runtime context file (CLAUDE.md or RUNTIME.md)" >&2
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+# Run quality gates from AGENTS.md
+# (execute the command block under "Quality Gates")
+
+# Test Codex review (if configured)
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/codex/codex-code-review.sh --help
+
+# Verify sequential-thinking MCP remains configured
+~/.config/mosaic/bin/mosaic-ensure-sequential-thinking --check
+```

+# Code Review Guide
+
+## Hard Requirement
+
+If an agent modifies source code, code review is REQUIRED before completion.
+Do not mark code-change tasks done until review is completed and blockers are resolved or explicitly tracked.
+If code/config/API contract/auth behavior changed and required docs are missing, this is a BLOCKER.
+If tests pass but acceptance criteria are not verified by situational evidence, this is a BLOCKER.
+If implementation diverges from `docs/PRD.md` or `docs/PRD.json` without PRD updates, this is a BLOCKER.
+
+Merge strategy enforcement (HARD RULE):
+
+- PR target for delivery is `main`.
+- Direct pushes to `main` are prohibited.
+- Merge to `main` MUST be squash-only.
+- Use `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/pr-merge.sh -n {PR_NUMBER} -m squash` (or PowerShell equivalent).
+
+## Review Checklist
+
+### 1. Correctness
+
+- [ ] Code does what the issue/PR description says
+- [ ] Code aligns with active PRD requirements
+- [ ] Acceptance criteria are mapped to concrete verification evidence
+- [ ] Edge cases are handled
+- [ ] Error conditions are managed properly
+- [ ] No obvious bugs or logic errors
+
+### 2. Security
+
+- [ ] No hardcoded secrets or credentials
+- [ ] Input validation at boundaries
+- [ ] SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
+- [ ] XSS prevention (output encoding)
+- [ ] Authentication/authorization checks present
+- [ ] Sensitive data not logged
+- [ ] Secrets follow Vault structure (see `docs/vault-secrets-structure.md`)
+
+### 2a. OWASP Coverage (Required)
+
+- [ ] OWASP Top 10 categories were reviewed for change impact
+- [ ] Access control checks verified on protected actions
+- [ ] Cryptographic handling validated (keys, hashing, TLS assumptions)
+- [ ] Injection risks reviewed for all untrusted inputs
+- [ ] Security misconfiguration risks reviewed (headers, CORS, defaults)
+- [ ] Dependency/component risk reviewed (known vulnerable components)
+- [ ] Authentication/session flows reviewed for failure paths
+- [ ] Logging/monitoring preserves detection without leaking sensitive data
+
+### 3. Testing
+
+- [ ] Tests exist for new functionality
+- [ ] Tests cover happy path AND error cases
+- [ ] Situational tests cover all impacted change surfaces (primary gate)
+- [ ] Tests validate required behavior/outcomes, not only internal implementation details
+- [ ] TDD was applied when required by `~/.config/mosaic/guides/QA-TESTING.md`
+- [ ] Coverage meets 85% minimum
+- [ ] Tests are readable and maintainable
+- [ ] No flaky tests introduced
+
+### 4. Code Quality
+
+- [ ] Follows Google Style Guide for the language
+- [ ] Functions are focused and reasonably sized
+- [ ] No unnecessary complexity
+- [ ] DRY - no significant duplication
+- [ ] Clear naming for variables and functions
+- [ ] No dead code or commented-out code
+
+### 4a. TypeScript Strict Typing (see `TYPESCRIPT.md`)
+
+- [ ] **NO `any` types** — explicit types required everywhere
+- [ ] **NO lazy `unknown`** — only for error catches with immediate narrowing
+- [ ] **Explicit return types** on all exported/public functions
+- [ ] **Explicit parameter types** — never implicit any
+- [ ] **No type assertions** (`as Type`) — use type guards instead
+- [ ] **No non-null assertions** (`!`) — use proper null handling
+- [ ] **Interfaces for objects** — not inline types
+- [ ] **Discriminated unions** for variant types
+- [ ] **DTO files used at boundaries** — module/API contracts are in `*.dto.ts`, not inline payload types
+
+### 5. Documentation
+
+- [ ] Complex logic has explanatory comments
+- [ ] Required docs updated per `~/.config/mosaic/guides/DOCUMENTATION.md`
+- [ ] Public APIs are documented
+- [ ] Private/internal APIs are documented
+- [ ] API input/output schemas are documented
+- [ ] API permissions/auth requirements are documented
+- [ ] Site map updates are present when navigation changed
+- [ ] README updated if needed
+- [ ] Breaking changes noted
+
+### 6. Performance
+
+- [ ] No obvious N+1 queries
+- [ ] No blocking operations in hot paths
+- [ ] Resource cleanup (connections, file handles)
+- [ ] Reasonable memory usage
+
+### 7. Dependencies
+
+- [ ] No deprecated packages
+- [ ] No unnecessary new dependencies
+- [ ] Dependency versions pinned appropriately
+
+## Review Process
+
+Use `~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/DOCUMENTATION-CHECKLIST.md` whenever code/API/auth/infra changes are present.
+
+### Getting Context
+
+```bash
+# List the issue being addressed
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/issue-list.sh -i {issue-number}
+
+# View the changes
+git diff main...HEAD
+```
+
+### Providing Feedback
+
+- Be specific: point to exact lines/files
+- Explain WHY something is problematic
+- Suggest alternatives when possible
+- Distinguish between blocking issues and suggestions
+- Be constructive, not critical of the person
+
+### Feedback Categories
+
+- **Blocker**: Must fix before merge (security, bugs, test failures)
+- **Should Fix**: Important but not blocking (code quality, minor issues)
+- **Suggestion**: Optional improvements (style preferences, nice-to-haves)
+- **Question**: Seeking clarification
+
+### Review Comment Format
+
+```
+[BLOCKER] Line 42: SQL injection vulnerability
+The user input is directly interpolated into the query.
+Use parameterized queries instead:
+`db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", [userId])`
+
+[SUGGESTION] Line 78: Consider extracting to helper
+This pattern appears in 3 places. A shared helper would reduce duplication.
+```
+
+## After Review
+
+1. Update issue with review status
+2. If changes requested, assign back to author
+3. If approved, note approval in issue comments
+4. For merges, ensure CI passes first
+5. Merge PR to `main` with squash strategy only

+# Documentation Standard (MANDATORY)
+
+This guide defines REQUIRED documentation behavior for all Mosaic projects.
+If code, API contracts, auth, or infrastructure changes, documentation updates are REQUIRED before completion.
+
+## Hard Rules
+
+1. Documentation is a delivery gate. Missing required documentation is a BLOCKER.
+2. `docs/PRD.md` or `docs/PRD.json` is REQUIRED as the project requirements source before coding begins.
+3. API documentation is OpenAPI-first. `docs/API/OPENAPI.yaml` (or `.json`) is the canonical API contract.
+4. Public and private/internal endpoints MUST be documented.
+5. API input and output schemas MUST be documented.
+6. API authentication and permissions MUST be documented per endpoint.
+7. A current site map MUST exist at `docs/SITEMAP.md`.
+8. Documentation updates MUST be committed in the same logical change set as the code/API change.
+9. Generated publishing output (Docusaurus/VitePress/MkDocs artifacts) is not canonical unless the project explicitly declares it canonical.
+10. `docs/` root MUST stay clean. Reports and working artifacts MUST be stored in dedicated subdirectories, not dumped at `docs/` root.
+
+## Required Documentation Structure
+
+```text
+docs/
+  PRD.md (or PRD.json)
+  TASKS.md (active orchestrator tracking, when orchestrator is used)
+  SITEMAP.md
+  USER-GUIDE/
+  ADMIN-GUIDE/
+  DEVELOPER-GUIDE/
+  API/
+    OPENAPI.yaml
+    ENDPOINTS.md
+  scratchpads/
+  reports/
+  tasks/
+  releases/
+  templates/ (optional)
+```
+
+Minimum requirements:
+
+- `docs/PRD.md` or `docs/PRD.json`: authoritative requirements source for implementation and testing.
+- `docs/USER-GUIDE/`: End-user workflows, feature behavior, common troubleshooting.
+- `docs/ADMIN-GUIDE/`: Configuration, deployment, operations, incident/recovery procedures.
+- `docs/DEVELOPER-GUIDE/`: Architecture, local setup, contribution/testing workflow, design constraints.
+- `docs/API/OPENAPI.yaml`: API SSOT for all HTTP endpoints.
+- `docs/API/ENDPOINTS.md`: Human-readable index for API endpoints, permissions, and change notes.
+- `docs/SITEMAP.md`: Navigation index for all user/admin/developer/API documentation pages.
+- `docs/reports/`: Review outputs, QA automation reports, deferrals, and audit artifacts.
+- `docs/tasks/`: Archived task snapshots and orchestrator learnings.
+- `docs/releases/`: Release notes and release-specific documentation.
+- `docs/scratchpads/`: Active task-level working notes.
+
+## Root Hygiene Rule (MANDATORY)
+
+Allowed root documentation files are intentionally limited:
+
+1. `docs/PRD.md` or `docs/PRD.json`
+2. `docs/TASKS.md` (active milestone only, when task orchestration is in use)
+3. `docs/SITEMAP.md`
+4. `docs/README.md` (optional index)
+
+All other docs MUST be placed in scoped folders (`docs/reports/`, `docs/tasks/`, `docs/releases/`, `docs/scratchpads/`, `docs/API/`, guide books).
+
+## Artifact Placement Rules
+
+| Artifact Type                              | REQUIRED Location                        |
+| ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
+| Code review reports, QA reports, audits    | `docs/reports/<category>/`               |
+| Deferred error lists / unresolved findings | `docs/reports/deferred/`                 |
+| Archived milestone task snapshots          | `docs/tasks/`                            |
+| Orchestrator learnings JSON                | `docs/tasks/orchestrator-learnings.json` |
+| Release notes                              | `docs/releases/`                         |
+| Active scratchpads                         | `docs/scratchpads/`                      |
+
+## API Documentation Contract (OpenAPI-First)
+
+For every API endpoint, documentation MUST include:
+
+1. visibility: `public` or `private/internal`
+2. method and path
+3. endpoint purpose
+4. request/input schema
+5. response/output schema(s)
+6. auth method and required permission/role/scope
+7. error status codes and behavior
+
+If OpenAPI cannot fully express an internal constraint, document it in `docs/API/ENDPOINTS.md`.
+
+## Book/Chapter/Page Structure
+
+Use this structure for every guide:
+
+1. Book: one root guide folder (`USER-GUIDE`, `ADMIN-GUIDE`, `DEVELOPER-GUIDE`)
+2. Chapter: one subdirectory per topic area
+3. Page: one focused markdown file per concern
+
+Required index files:
+
+1. `docs/USER-GUIDE/README.md`
+2. `docs/ADMIN-GUIDE/README.md`
+3. `docs/DEVELOPER-GUIDE/README.md`
+
+Each index file MUST link to all chapters and pages in that book.
+
+## Situational Documentation Matrix
+
+| Change Surface                                 | REQUIRED Documentation Updates                              |
+| ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| New feature or behavior change                 | User guide + developer guide + sitemap                      |
+| API endpoint added/changed/removed             | OpenAPI + API endpoint index + sitemap                      |
+| Auth/RBAC/permission change                    | API auth/permission docs + admin guide + developer guide    |
+| Database schema/migration change               | Developer guide + admin operational notes if runbook impact |
+| CI/CD or deployment change                     | Admin guide + developer guide                               |
+| Incident, recovery, or security control change | Admin guide runbook + security notes + sitemap              |
+
+## Publishing Target Rule (MANDATORY)
+
+If the user does not specify documentation publishing target, the agent MUST ask:
+
+1. Publish in-app (embedded docs)
+2. Publish on external docs platform (for example: Docusaurus, VitePress, MkDocs)
+
+Default behavior before publishing decision:
+
+- Keep canonical docs in-repo under `docs/`.
+- Do not assume external publishing platform.
+
+## Completion Gate
+
+You MUST NOT declare completion until all required documentation updates are done.
+
+Use `~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/DOCUMENTATION-CHECKLIST.md` as the final gate.

+# E2E Delivery Procedure (MANDATORY)
+
+This guide is REQUIRED for all agent sessions.
+
+## 0. Mode Handshake (Before Any Action)
+
+First response MUST declare mode before tool calls or implementation steps:
+
+1. Orchestration mission: `Now initiating Orchestrator mode...`
+2. Implementation mission: `Now initiating Delivery mode...`
+3. Review-only mission: `Now initiating Review mode...`
+
+## 1. PRD Gate (Before Coding)
+
+1. Ensure `docs/PRD.md` or `docs/PRD.json` exists before coding.
+2. Load `~/.config/mosaic/guides/PRD.md`.
+3. Prepare/update PRD from user input and available project context.
+4. If requirements are missing:
+   - proceed with best-guess assumptions by default,
+   - mark each assumption with `ASSUMPTION:` and rationale,
+   - escalate only when uncertainty is high-impact and cannot be bounded safely.
+5. Treat PRD as the requirement source for implementation, testing, and review.
+
+## 1a. Tracking Gate (Before Coding)
+
+1. For non-trivial work, `docs/TASKS.md` MUST exist before coding.
+2. If `docs/TASKS.md` is missing, create it from `~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/TASKS.md.template`.
+3. Detect provider first via `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/detect-platform.sh`.
+4. For issue/PR/milestone operations, use Mosaic wrappers first (`~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/*.sh`).
+5. If external git provider is available (Gitea/GitHub/GitLab), create or update issue(s) before coding.
+6. Record provider issue reference(s) in `docs/TASKS.md` (example: `#123`).
+7. If no external provider is available, use internal task refs in `docs/TASKS.md` (example: `TASKS:T1`).
+8. Scratchpad MUST reference both task ID and issue/internal ref.
+
+## 2. Intake and Scope
+
+> **COMPLEXITY TRAP WARNING:** Intake applies to ALL tasks regardless of perceived complexity. "Simple" tasks (commit, push, deploy) have caused the most severe framework violations because agents skip intake when they pattern-match a task as mechanical. The procedure is unconditional.
+
+1. Define scope, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
+2. Identify affected surfaces (API, DB, UI, infra, auth, CI/CD, docs).
+3. **Deployment surface check (MANDATORY if task involves deploy, images, or containers):** Before ANY build or deploy action, check for CI/CD pipeline config (`.woodpecker/`, `.woodpecker.yml`, `.github/workflows/`). If pipelines exist, CI is the canonical build path — manual `docker build`/`docker push` is forbidden. Load `~/.config/mosaic/guides/CI-CD-PIPELINES.md` immediately.
+4. Identify required guides and load them before implementation.
+5. For code/API/auth/infra changes, load `~/.config/mosaic/guides/DOCUMENTATION.md`.
+6. Determine budget constraints:
+   - if the user provided a plan limit or token budget, treat it as a HARD cap,
+   - if budget is unknown, derive a working budget from estimates and runtime limits, then continue autonomously.
+7. Record budget assumptions and caps in the scratchpad before implementation starts.
+8. Track estimated vs used tokens per logical unit and adapt strategy to remain inside budget.
+9. If projected usage exceeds budget, auto-reduce scope/parallelism first; escalate only if cap still cannot be met.
+
+## 2a. Steered Autonomy (Lights-Out)
+
+1. Agent owns delivery end-to-end: planning, coding, testing, review, PR/repo operations, release/tag, and deployment (when in scope).
+2. Human intervention is escalation-only; do not pause for routine approvals or handoffs.
+3. Continue execution until completion criteria are met or an escalation trigger is hit.
+
+## 3. Scratchpad Requirement
+
+1. Create a task-specific scratchpad before implementation.
+2. Record:
+   - objective
+   - plan
+   - progress checkpoints
+   - tests run
+   - risks/blockers
+   - final verification evidence
+
+## 4. Embedded Execution Cycle (MANDATORY)
+
+For implementation work, you MUST run this cycle in order:
+
+1. `plan` - map PRD requirements to concrete implementation steps.
+2. `code` - implement one logical unit.
+3. `test` - run required baseline and situational checks for that unit.
+4. `review` - perform independent code review on the current delta.
+5. `remediate` - fix all findings and any test failures.
+6. `review` - re-review remediated changes until blockers are cleared.
+7. `commit` - commit only when the logical unit passes tests and review.
+8. `pre-push queue guard` - before pushing, wait for running/queued project pipelines to clear: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose push`.
+9. `push` - push immediately after queue guard passes.
+10. `PR integration` - if external git provider is available, create/update PR to `main` and merge with required strategy via Mosaic wrappers.
+11. `pre-merge queue guard` - before merging PR, wait for running/queued project pipelines to clear: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose merge`.
+12. `CI/pipeline verification` - wait for terminal CI status and require green before completion (`~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/pr-ci-wait.sh` for PR-based workflow).
+13. `issue closure` - close linked external issue (or close internal `docs/TASKS.md` task ref when provider is unavailable).
+14. `greenfield situational test` - validate required user flows in a clean environment/startup path (post-merge for trunk workflow changes).
+15. `deploy + post-deploy validation` - when deployment is in scope, deploy to configured target and run post-deploy health/smoke checks.
+16. `repeat` - continue until all acceptance criteria are complete.
+
+### Post-PR Hard Gate (Execute Sequentially, No Exceptions)
+
+1. `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh --purpose merge -B main`
+2. `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/pr-merge.sh -n <PR_NUMBER> -m squash`
+3. `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/pr-ci-wait.sh -n <PR_NUMBER>`
+4. `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/issue-close.sh -i <ISSUE_NUMBER>` (or close internal `docs/TASKS.md` ref when no provider exists)
+5. If any step fails: set status `blocked`, report the exact failed wrapper command, and stop.
+6. Do not ask the human to perform routine merge/close operations.
+7. Do not claim completion before step 4 succeeds.
+
+### Forbidden Anti-Patterns
+
+**PR/Merge:**
+
+1. Do NOT stop at "PR created" or "PR updated".
+2. Do NOT ask "should I merge?" for routine delivery PRs.
+3. Do NOT ask "should I close the issue?" after merge + green CI.
+
+**Build/Deploy:** 4. Do NOT run `docker build` or `docker push` locally to deploy images when CI/CD pipelines exist in the repository. CI is the ONLY canonical build path. 5. Do NOT skip intake and surface identification because a task "seems simple." This is the #1 cause of framework violations. 6. Do NOT deploy without first verifying whether CI/CD pipelines exist (`.woodpecker/`, `.woodpecker.yml`, `.github/workflows/`). If they exist, use them. 7. If you are about to run `docker build` and have NOT loaded `ci-cd-pipelines.md`, STOP — you are violating the framework.
+
+If any step fails, you MUST remediate and re-run from the relevant step before proceeding.
+If push-queue/merge-queue/PR merge/CI/issue closure fails, status is `blocked` (not complete) and you MUST report the exact failed wrapper command.
+
+## 5. Testing Priority Model
+
+Use this order of priority:
+
+1. Situational tests are the PRIMARY gate and MUST prove changed behavior meets requirements.
+2. Baseline tests are REQUIRED safety checks and MUST run for all software changes.
+3. TDD is risk-based and REQUIRED only for specific high-risk change types.
+
+## 6. Mandatory Test Baseline
+
+For all software changes, you MUST run baseline checks applicable to the repo/toolchain:
+
+1. lint (or equivalent static checks)
+2. type checks (if language/tooling supports it)
+3. unit tests for changed logic
+4. integration tests for changed boundaries
+
+## 7. Situational Testing Matrix (PRIMARY GATE)
+
+Run additional tests based on what changed:
+
+| Change Surface               | Required Situational Tests                                                    |
+| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Authentication/authorization | auth failure-path tests, permission boundary tests, token/session validation  |
+| Database schema/migrations   | migration up/down validation, rollback safety, data integrity checks          |
+| API contract changes         | backward compatibility checks, consumer-impact tests, contract tests          |
+| Frontend/UI workflow changes | end-to-end flow tests, accessibility sanity checks, state transition checks   |
+| CI/CD or deployment changes  | pipeline execution validation, artifact integrity checks, rollback path check |
+| Security-sensitive logic     | abuse-case tests, input validation fuzzing/sanitization checks                |
+| Performance-critical path    | baseline comparison, regression threshold checks                              |
+
+## 8. Risk-Based TDD Requirement
+
+TDD is REQUIRED for:
+
+1. bug fixes (write a reproducer test first)
+2. security/auth/permission logic changes
+3. critical business logic and data-mutation rules
+
+TDD is RECOMMENDED (not mandatory) for low-risk UI, copy, styling, and mechanical refactors.
+If TDD is skipped for a non-required case, record the rationale in the scratchpad.
+
+## 9. Mandatory Code Review Gate
+
+If you modify source code, you MUST run an independent code review before completion.
+
+1. Use automated review tooling when available.
+2. If automated tooling is unavailable, run manual review using `~/.config/mosaic/guides/CODE-REVIEW.md`.
+3. Any blocker or critical finding MUST be fixed or tracked as an explicit remediation task before closure.
+
+## 10. Mandatory Documentation Gate
+
+For code/API/auth/infra changes, documentation updates are REQUIRED before completion.
+
+1. Apply the standard in `~/.config/mosaic/guides/DOCUMENTATION.md`.
+2. Update required docs in the same logical change set as implementation.
+3. Complete `~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/DOCUMENTATION-CHECKLIST.md`.
+4. If publish platform is unspecified, ask the user to choose in-app or external platform before publishing.
+5. Missing required documentation is a BLOCKER.
+
+## 11. Completion Gate (All Required)
+
+You MUST satisfy all items before completion:
+
+1. Acceptance criteria met.
+2. Baseline tests passed.
+3. Situational tests passed (primary gate), including required greenfield situational validation.
+4. PRD is current and implementation is aligned with PRD.
+5. Acceptance criteria mapped to verification evidence.
+6. Code review completed for source code changes.
+7. Required documentation updates completed and reviewed.
+8. Scratchpad updated with evidence.
+9. Known risks documented.
+10. No unresolved blocker hidden.
+11. If deployment is in scope, deployment target, release version, and post-deploy verification evidence are documented.
+12. `docs/TASKS.md` status and issue/internal references are updated to match delivered work.
+13. If source code changed and external provider is available: PR merged to `main` (squash), with merge evidence recorded.
+14. CI/pipeline status is terminal green for the merged PR/head commit.
+15. Linked external issue is closed (or internal task ref is closed when no provider exists).
+16. If any of items 13-15 fail due access/tooling, report `blocked` with exact failed wrapper command and do not claim completion.
+
+## 12. Review and Reporting
+
+Completion report MUST include:
+
+1. what changed
+2. PRD alignment summary
+3. acceptance criteria to evidence mapping
+4. what was tested (baseline + situational)
+5. what was reviewed (code review scope)
+6. what documentation was updated
+7. command-level evidence summary
+8. residual risks
+9. deployment and post-deploy verification summary (if in scope)
+10. explicit pass/fail status
+11. tracking summary (`docs/TASKS.md` updates and issue/internal refs)
+12. PR lifecycle summary (PR number, merge commit, merge method)
+13. CI/pipeline summary (run/check URL, terminal status)
+14. issue closure summary (issue number/ref and close evidence)

+# Frontend Development Guide
+
+## Before Starting
+
+1. Check assigned issue in git repo: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/issue-list.sh -a @me`
+2. Create scratchpad: `docs/scratchpads/{issue-number}-{short-name}.md`
+3. Review existing components and patterns in the codebase
+
+## Development Standards
+
+### Framework Conventions
+
+- Follow project's existing framework patterns (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.)
+- Use existing component library/design system if present
+- Maintain consistent file structure with existing code
+
+### Styling
+
+- Use project's established styling approach (CSS modules, Tailwind, styled-components, etc.)
+- Follow existing naming conventions for CSS classes
+- Ensure responsive design unless explicitly single-platform
+
+### State Management
+
+- Use project's existing state management solution
+- Keep component state local when possible
+- Document any new global state additions
+
+### Accessibility
+
+- Include proper ARIA labels
+- Ensure keyboard navigation works
+- Test with screen reader considerations
+- Maintain color contrast ratios (WCAG 2.1 AA minimum)
+
+## Testing Requirements (TDD)
+
+1. Write tests BEFORE implementation
+2. Minimum 85% coverage
+3. Test categories:
+   - Unit tests for utility functions
+   - Component tests for UI behavior
+   - Integration tests for user flows
+
+### Test Patterns
+
+```javascript
+// Component test example structure
+describe('ComponentName', () => {
+  it('renders without crashing', () => {});
+  it('handles user interaction correctly', () => {});
+  it('displays error states appropriately', () => {});
+  it('is accessible', () => {});
+});
+```
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Follow Google JavaScript/TypeScript Style Guide
+- **TypeScript: Follow `~/.config/mosaic/guides/TYPESCRIPT.md` — MANDATORY**
+- Use ESLint/Prettier configuration from project
+- Prefer functional components over class components (React)
+- TypeScript strict mode is REQUIRED, not optional
+
+### TypeScript Quick Rules (see TYPESCRIPT.md for full guide)
+
+- **NO `any`** — define explicit types always
+- **NO lazy `unknown`** — only for error catches and external data with validation
+- **Explicit return types** on all exported functions
+- **Explicit parameter types** always
+- **Interface for props** — never inline object types
+- **Event handlers** — use proper React event types
+
+## Commit Format
+
+```
+feat(#123): Add user profile component
+
+- Implement avatar display
+- Add edit mode toggle
+- Include form validation
+
+Refs #123
+```
+
+## Before Completing
+
+1. Run full test suite
+2. Verify build succeeds
+3. Update scratchpad with completion notes
+4. Reference issue in commit: `Fixes #N` or `Refs #N`

+# Infrastructure & DevOps Guide
+
+## Before Starting
+
+1. Check assigned issue: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/issue-list.sh -a @me`
+2. Create scratchpad: `docs/scratchpads/{issue-number}-{short-name}.md`
+3. Review existing infrastructure configuration
+
+## Vault Secrets Management
+
+**CRITICAL**: Follow canonical Vault structure for ALL secrets.
+
+### Structure
+
+```
+{mount}/{service}/{component}/{secret-name}
+
+Examples:
+- secret-prod/postgres/database/app
+- secret-prod/redis/auth/default
+- secret-prod/authentik/admin/token
+```
+
+### Environment Mounts
+
+- `secret-dev/` - Development environment
+- `secret-staging/` - Staging environment
+- `secret-prod/` - Production environment
+
+### Standard Field Names
+
+- Credentials: `username`, `password`
+- Tokens: `token`
+- OAuth: `client_id`, `client_secret`
+- Connection strings: `url`, `host`, `port`
+
+See `docs/vault-secrets-structure.md` for complete reference.
+
+## Container Standards
+
+### Dockerfile Best Practices
+
+```dockerfile
+# Use specific version tags
+FROM node:20-alpine
+
+# Create non-root user
+RUN addgroup -S app && adduser -S app -G app
+
+# Set working directory
+WORKDIR /app
+
+# Copy dependency files first (layer caching)
+COPY package*.json ./
+RUN npm ci --only=production
+
+# Copy application code
+COPY --chown=app:app . .
+
+# Switch to non-root user
+USER app
+
+# Use exec form for CMD
+CMD ["node", "server.js"]
+```
+
+### Container Security
+
+- Use minimal base images (alpine, distroless)
+- Run as non-root user
+- Don't store secrets in images
+- Scan images for vulnerabilities
+- Pin dependency versions
+
+## Kubernetes/Docker Compose
+
+### Resource Limits
+
+Always set resource limits to prevent runaway containers:
+
+```yaml
+resources:
+  requests:
+    memory: '128Mi'
+    cpu: '100m'
+  limits:
+    memory: '256Mi'
+    cpu: '500m'
+```
+
+### Health Checks
+
+```yaml
+livenessProbe:
+  httpGet:
+    path: /health
+    port: 8080
+  initialDelaySeconds: 10
+  periodSeconds: 5
+
+readinessProbe:
+  httpGet:
+    path: /ready
+    port: 8080
+  initialDelaySeconds: 5
+  periodSeconds: 3
+```
+
+## CI/CD Pipelines
+
+### Pipeline Stages
+
+1. **Lint**: Code style and static analysis
+2. **Test**: Unit and integration tests
+3. **Build**: Compile and package
+4. **Scan**: Security and vulnerability scanning
+5. **Deploy**: Environment-specific deployment
+
+### Pipeline Security
+
+- Use secrets management (not hardcoded)
+- Pin action/image versions
+- Implement approval gates for production
+- Audit pipeline access
+
+## Steered-Autonomous Deployment (Hard Rule)
+
+In lights-out mode, the agent owns deployment end-to-end when deployment is in scope.
+The human is escalation-only for missing access, hard policy conflicts, or irreversible risk.
+
+### Deployment Target Selection
+
+1. Use explicit target from `docs/PRD.md` / `docs/PRD.json` or `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md`.
+2. If unspecified, infer from existing project config/integration.
+3. If multiple targets exist, choose the target already wired in CI/CD and document rationale.
+
+### Supported Targets
+
+- **Portainer**: Deploy via `~/.config/mosaic/tools/portainer/stack-redeploy.sh`, then verify with `stack-status.sh`.
+- **Coolify**: Deploy via `~/.config/mosaic/tools/coolify/deploy.sh -u <uuid>`, then verify with `service-status.sh`.
+- **Vercel**: Deploy via `vercel` CLI or connected Git integration, then verify preview/production URL health.
+- **Other SaaS providers**: Use provider CLI/API/runbook with the same validation and rollback gates.
+
+### Coolify API Operations
+
+```bash
+# List projects and services
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/coolify/project-list.sh
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/coolify/service-list.sh
+
+# Check service status
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/coolify/service-status.sh -u <uuid>
+
+# Set env vars (takes effect on next deploy)
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/coolify/env-set.sh -u <uuid> -k KEY -v VALUE
+
+# Deploy
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/coolify/deploy.sh -u <uuid>
+```
+
+**Known Coolify Limitations:**
+
+- FQDN updates on compose sub-apps not supported via API (DB workaround required)
+- Compose files must be base64-encoded in `docker_compose_raw` field
+- Magic variables (`SERVICE_FQDN_*`) require list-style env syntax, not dict-style
+- Rate limit: 200 requests per interval
+
+### Cloudflare DNS Operations
+
+Use the Cloudflare tools for any DNS configuration: pointing domains at services, adding TXT verification records, managing MX records, etc.
+
+**Multi-instance support**: Credentials support named instances (e.g. `personal`, `work`). A `default` key in credentials.json determines which instance is used when `-a` is omitted. Pass `-a <instance>` to target a specific account.
+
+```bash
+# List all zones (domains) in the account
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/cloudflare/zone-list.sh [-a instance]
+
+# List DNS records for a zone (accepts zone name or ID)
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/cloudflare/record-list.sh -z <zone> [-t type] [-n name]
+
+# Create a DNS record
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/cloudflare/record-create.sh -z <zone> -t <type> -n <name> -c <content> [-p] [-l ttl] [-P priority]
+
+# Update a DNS record (requires record ID from record-list)
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/cloudflare/record-update.sh -z <zone> -r <record-id> -t <type> -n <name> -c <content> [-p]
+
+# Delete a DNS record
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/cloudflare/record-delete.sh -z <zone> -r <record-id>
+```
+
+**Flag reference:**
+
+| Flag | Purpose                                                                 |
+| ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `-z` | Zone name (e.g. `mosaicstack.dev`) or 32-char zone ID                   |
+| `-a` | Named Cloudflare instance (omit for default)                            |
+| `-t` | Record type: `A`, `AAAA`, `CNAME`, `MX`, `TXT`, `SRV`, etc.             |
+| `-n` | Record name: short (`app`) or FQDN (`app.example.com`)                  |
+| `-c` | Record content/value (IP, hostname, TXT string, etc.)                   |
+| `-r` | Record ID (from `record-list.sh` output)                                |
+| `-p` | Enable Cloudflare proxy (orange cloud) — omit for DNS-only (grey cloud) |
+| `-l` | TTL in seconds (default: `1` = auto)                                    |
+| `-P` | Priority for MX/SRV records                                             |
+| `-f` | Output format: `table` (default) or `json`                              |
+
+**Common workflows:**
+
+```bash
+# Point a new subdomain at a server (proxied through Cloudflare)
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/cloudflare/record-create.sh \
+  -z example.com -t A -n myapp -c 203.0.113.10 -p
+
+# Add a TXT record for domain verification (never proxied)
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/cloudflare/record-create.sh \
+  -z example.com -t TXT -n _verify -c "verification=abc123"
+
+# Check what records exist before making changes
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/cloudflare/record-list.sh -z example.com -t CNAME
+
+# Update an existing record (get record ID from record-list first)
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/cloudflare/record-update.sh \
+  -z example.com -r <record-id> -t A -n myapp -c 10.0.0.5 -p
+```
+
+**DNS + Deployment integration**: When deploying a new service via Coolify or Portainer that needs a public domain, the typical sequence is:
+
+1. Create the DNS record pointing at the host IP (with `-p` for Cloudflare proxy if desired)
+2. Deploy the service via Coolify/Portainer
+3. Verify the domain resolves and the service is reachable
+
+**Proxy (`-p`) guidance:**
+
+- Use proxy (orange cloud) for web services — provides CDN, DDoS protection, and hides origin IP
+- Skip proxy (grey cloud) for non-HTTP services (mail, SSH), wildcard records, or when the service handles its own TLS termination and needs direct client IP visibility
+- Proxy is NOT compatible with non-standard ports outside Cloudflare's supported range
+
+### Stack Health Check
+
+Verify all infrastructure services are reachable:
+
+```bash
+~/.config/mosaic/tools/health/stack-health.sh
+```
+
+### Image Tagging and Promotion (Hard Rule)
+
+For containerized deployments:
+
+1. Build immutable image tags: `sha-<shortsha>` and `v{base-version}-rc.{build}`.
+2. Use mutable environment tags only as pointers: `testing`, optional `staging`, and `prod`.
+3. Deploy by immutable digest, not by mutable tag alone.
+4. Promote the exact tested digest between environments (no rebuild between testing and prod).
+5. Do not use `latest` or `dev` as deployment references.
+
+Blue-green is the default strategy for production promotion.
+Canary is allowed only when automated SLO/error-rate gates and auto-rollback triggers are implemented.
+
+### Post-Deploy Validation (REQUIRED)
+
+1. Health endpoints return expected status.
+2. Critical smoke tests pass in target environment.
+3. Running version and digest match the promoted release candidate.
+4. Observability signals (errors/latency) are within expected thresholds.
+
+### Rollback Rule
+
+If post-deploy validation fails:
+
+1. Execute rollback/redeploy-safe path immediately.
+2. Mark deployment as blocked in `docs/TASKS.md`.
+3. Record failure evidence and next remediation step in scratchpad and release notes.
+
+### Registry Retention and Cleanup
+
+Cleanup MUST be automated.
+
+- Keep all final release tags (`vX.Y.Z`) indefinitely.
+- Keep active environment digests (`prod`, `testing`, and active blue/green slots).
+- Keep recent RC tags (`vX.Y.Z-rc.N`) based on retention window.
+- Remove stale `sha-*` and RC tags outside retention window if they are not actively deployed.
+
+## Monitoring & Logging
+
+### Logging Standards
+
+- Use structured logging (JSON)
+- Include correlation IDs
+- Log at appropriate levels (ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG)
+- Never log sensitive data
+
+### Metrics to Collect
+
+- Request latency (p50, p95, p99)
+- Error rates
+- Resource utilization (CPU, memory)
+- Business metrics
+
+### Alerting
+
+- Define SLOs (Service Level Objectives)
+- Alert on symptoms, not causes
+- Include runbook links in alerts
+- Avoid alert fatigue
+
+## Testing Infrastructure
+
+### Test Categories
+
+1. **Unit tests**: Terraform/Ansible logic
+2. **Integration tests**: Deployed resources work together
+3. **Smoke tests**: Critical paths after deployment
+4. **Chaos tests**: Failure mode validation
+
+### Infrastructure Testing Tools
+
+- Terraform: `terraform validate`, `terraform plan`
+- Ansible: `ansible-lint`, molecule
+- Kubernetes: `kubectl dry-run`, kubeval
+- General: Terratest, ServerSpec
+
+## Commit Format
+
+```
+chore(#67): Configure Redis cluster
+
+- Add Redis StatefulSet with 3 replicas
+- Configure persistence with PVC
+- Add Vault secret for auth password
+
+Refs #67
+```
+
+## Before Completing
+
+1. Validate configuration syntax
+2. Run infrastructure tests
+3. Test in dev/staging first
+4. Document any manual steps required
+5. Update scratchpad and close issue

+# Memory and Retention Rules
+
+## Primary Memory Layer: OpenBrain
+
+**OpenBrain is the canonical shared memory for all Mosaic agents across all harnesses and sessions.**
+
+Use the `capture` MCP tool (or REST `POST /v1/thoughts`) to store:
+
+- Discovered gotchas and workarounds
+- Architectural decisions and rationale
+- Project state and context for handoffs
+- Anything a future agent should know
+
+Use `search` or `recent` at session start to load prior context before acting.
+
+This is not optional. An agent that uses local file-based memory instead of OpenBrain is a broken agent — its knowledge is invisible to every other agent on the platform.
+
+## Hard Rules
+
+1. Agent learnings MUST go to OpenBrain — not to any file-based memory location.
+2. You MUST NOT write to runtime-native memory silos (they are write-blocked by hook).
+3. Active execution state belongs in project `docs/` — not in memory files.
+4. `~/.config/mosaic/memory/` is for mosaic framework technical notes only, not project knowledge.
+
+## Runtime-Native Memory Silos (WRITE-BLOCKED)
+
+These locations are blocked by PreToolUse hooks. Attempting to write there fails at the tool level.
+
+| Runtime     | Blocked silo                       | Use instead         |
+| ----------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------- |
+| Claude Code | `~/.claude/projects/*/memory/*.md` | OpenBrain `capture` |
+| Codex       | Runtime session memory             | OpenBrain `capture` |
+| OpenCode    | Runtime session memory             | OpenBrain `capture` |
+
+MEMORY.md files may only contain behavioral guardrails that must be injected at load-path — not knowledge.
+
+## Project Continuity Files (MANDATORY)
+
+| File                             | Purpose                                   | Location                    |
+| -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
+| `docs/PRD.md` or `docs/PRD.json` | Source of requirements                    | Project `docs/`             |
+| `docs/TASKS.md`                  | Task tracking, milestones, issues, status | Project `docs/`             |
+| `docs/scratchpads/<task>.md`     | Task-specific working memory              | Project `docs/scratchpads/` |
+| `AGENTS.md`                      | Project-local patterns and conventions    | Project root                |
+
+## How the Block Works
+
+`~/.config/mosaic/tools/qa/prevent-memory-write.sh` is registered as a `PreToolUse` hook in
+`~/.claude/settings.json`. It intercepts Write/Edit/MultiEdit calls and rejects any targeting
+`~/.claude/projects/*/memory/*.md` before the tool executes. Exit code 2 blocks the call and
+the agent sees a message directing it to OpenBrain instead.

+
+> Cross-project heuristic adjustments based on observed variance data.
+>
+> **Note:** This file contains generic patterns only. Project-specific evidence is stored in each project's `docs/tasks/orchestrator-learnings.json`.
+
+## Task Type Multipliers
+
+Apply these multipliers to base estimates from `ORCHESTRATOR.md`:
+
+| Task Type             | Base Estimate    | Multiplier | Confidence | Samples | Last Updated |
+| --------------------- | ---------------- | ---------- | ---------- | ------- | ------------ |
+| STYLE_FIX             | 3-5K             | 0.64       | MEDIUM     | n=1     | 2026-02-05   |
+| BULK_CLEANUP          | file_count × 550 | 1.0        | MEDIUM     | n=2     | 2026-02-05   |
+| GUARD_ADD             | 5-8K             | 1.0        | LOW        | n=0     | -            |
+| SECURITY_FIX          | 8-12K            | 2.5        | LOW        | n=0     | -            |
+| AUTH_ADD              | 15-25K           | 1.0        | HIGH       | n=1     | 2026-02-05   |
+| REFACTOR              | 10-15K           | 1.0        | LOW        | n=0     | -            |
+| TEST_ADD              | 15-25K           | 1.0        | LOW        | n=0     | -            |
+| ERROR_HANDLING        | 8-12K            | 2.3        | MEDIUM     | n=1     | 2026-02-05   |
+| CONFIG_DEFAULT_CHANGE | 5-10K            | 1.8        | MEDIUM     | n=1     | 2026-02-05   |
+| INPUT_VALIDATION      | 5-8K             | 1.7        | MEDIUM     | n=1     | 2026-02-05   |
+
+## Phase Factors
+
+Apply to all estimates based on task position in milestone:
+
+| Phase Position    | Factor | Rationale                  |
+| ----------------- | ------ | -------------------------- |
+| Early (tasks 1-3) | 1.45   | Codebase learning overhead |
+| Mid (tasks 4-7)   | 1.25   | Pattern recognition phase  |
+| Late (tasks 8+)   | 1.10   | Established patterns       |
+
+## Estimation Formula
+
+```
+Final Estimate = Base Estimate × Type Multiplier × Phase Factor × TDD Overhead
+
+Where:
+- Base Estimate: From ORCHESTRATOR.md task type table
+- Type Multiplier: From table above (default 1.0)
+- Phase Factor: 1.45 / 1.25 / 1.10 based on position
+- TDD Overhead: 1.20 if tests required
+```
+
+## Known Patterns
+
+### BULK_CLEANUP
+
+**Pattern:** Multi-file cleanup tasks are severely underestimated.
+
+**Why:** Iterative testing across many files, cascading fixes, and debugging compound the effort.
+
+**Observed:** +112% to +276% variance when using fixed estimates.
+
+**Recommendation:** Use `file_count × 550` instead of fixed estimate.
+
+### ERROR_HANDLING
+
+**Pattern:** Error handling changes that modify type interfaces cascade through the codebase.
+
+**Why:** Adding fields to result types requires updating all callers, error messages, and tests.
+
+**Observed:** +131% variance.
+
+**Multiplier:** 2.3x base estimate when type interfaces are modified.
+
+### CONFIG_DEFAULT_CHANGE
+
+**Pattern:** Config default changes require more test coverage than expected.
+
+**Why:** Security-sensitive defaults need validation tests, warning tests, and edge case coverage.
+
+**Observed:** +80% variance.
+
+**Multiplier:** 1.8x when config changes need security validation.
+
+### INPUT_VALIDATION
+
+**Pattern:** Security input validation with allowlists is more complex than simple validation.
+
+**Why:** Comprehensive allowlists (e.g., OAuth error codes), encoding requirements, and security tests add up.
+
+**Observed:** +70% variance.
+
+**Multiplier:** 1.7x when security allowlists are involved.
+
+### STYLE_FIX
+
+**Pattern:** Pure formatting fixes are faster than estimated when isolated.
+
+**Observed:** -36% variance.
+
+**Multiplier:** 0.64x for isolated style-only fixes.

+
+**Graduated Autonomy:**
+
+| Phase                  | Condition                                 | Action                                       |
+| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
+| **Now**                | All proposals                             | Human review required                        |
+| **After 3 milestones** | <30% change, n≥3 samples, HIGH confidence | Auto-update allowed                          |
+| **Mature**             | All changes                               | Auto with notification, revert on regression |
+
+**Validation Before Update:**
+
+1. Minimum 3 samples for same task type
+2. Standard deviation < 30% of mean
+3. Outliers (>2σ) excluded
+4. New formula must not increase variance on historical data

+
+---
+
+## 1. Relationship to ORCHESTRATOR.md
+
+| Concern                                                              | Guide             |
+| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
+| How to execute within a session (plan, code, test, review, commit)   | `ORCHESTRATOR.md` |
+| How to manage a mission across sessions (resume, continue, handoff)  | **This guide**    |
+| Both guides are active simultaneously during orchestration missions. |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Mission Manifest
+
+**Location:** `docs/MISSION-MANIFEST.md`
+**Owner:** Orchestrator (sole writer)
+**Template:** `~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/MISSION-MANIFEST.md.template`
+
+The manifest is the persistent document tracking full mission scope, status, milestones, and session history. It survives session death.
+
+### Update Rules
+
+- Update **Phase** when transitioning (Intake → Planning → Execution → Continuation → Completion)
+- Update **Current Milestone** when starting a new milestone
+- Update **Progress** after each milestone completion
+- Append to **Session History** at session start and end
+- Update **Status** to `completed` only when ALL success criteria are verified
+
+### Hard Rule
+
+The manifest is the source of truth for mission scope. If the manifest says a milestone is done, it is done. If it says remaining, it remains.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Scratchpad Protocol
+
+**Location:** `docs/scratchpads/{mission-id}.md`
+**Template:** `~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/mission-scratchpad.md.template`
+
+### Rules
+
+1. **First action** — Before ANY planning or coding, write the mission prompt to the scratchpad
+2. **Append-only** — NEVER delete or overwrite previous entries
+3. **Session log** — Record session start, tasks done, and outcome at session end
+4. **Decisions** — Record all planning decisions with rationale
+5. **Corrections** — Record course corrections from human or coordinator
+6. **Never deleted** — Scratchpads survive mission completion (archival reference)
+
+---
+
+## 4. TASKS.md as Control Plane
+
+**Location:** `docs/TASKS.md`
+**Owner:** Orchestrator (sole writer). Workers read but NEVER modify.
+
+### Table Schema
+
+```markdown
+| id | status | milestone | description | pr | notes |
+```
+
+### Status Values
+
+`not-started` → `in-progress` → `done` (or `blocked` / `failed`)
+
+### Planning Tasks Are First-Class
+
+Include explicit planning tasks (e.g., `PLAN-001: Break down milestone into tasks`). These count toward progress.
+
+### Post-Merge Tasks Are Explicit
+
+Include verification tasks after merge: CI check, deployment verification, Playwright test. Don't assume they happen automatically.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Session Resume Protocol
+
+When starting a session and an active mission is detected, follow this checklist:
+
+### Detection (5-point check)
+
+1. `docs/MISSION-MANIFEST.md` exists → read Phase, Current Milestone, Progress
+2. `docs/scratchpads/*.md` exists → read latest scratchpad for decisions and corrections
+3. `docs/TASKS.md` exists → read task state (what's done, what's next)
+4. Git state → current branch, open PRs, recent commits
+5. Provider state → open issues, milestone status (if accessible)
+
+### Resume Procedure
+
+1. Read the mission manifest FIRST
+2. Read the scratchpad for session history and corrections
+3. Read TASKS.md for current task state
+4. Identify the next `not-started` or `in-progress` task
+5. Continue execution from that task
+6. Update Session History in the manifest
+
+### Dirty State Recovery
+
+| State                    | Recovery                                                            |
+| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Dirty git working tree   | Stash changes, log stash ref in scratchpad, resume clean            |
+| Open PR in bad state     | Check PR status, close if broken, re-create if needed               |
+| Half-created issues      | Audit issues against TASKS.md, reconcile                            |
+| Tasks marked in-progress | Check if work was committed; if so, mark done; if not, restart task |
+
+### Hard Rule
+
+Session state is NEVER automatically deleted. The coordinator (human or automated) must explicitly request cleanup.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Mission Continuation
+
+When a milestone completes and more milestones remain:
+
+### Agent Handoff (at ~55-60% context)
+
+If context usage is high, produce a handoff message:
+
+1. Update TASKS.md with final task statuses
+2. Update mission manifest with session results
+3. Append session summary to scratchpad
+4. Commit all state files
+5. The coordinator will generate a continuation prompt for the next session
+
+### Continuation Prompt and Capsule Format
+
+The coordinator generates this (via `mosaic coord continue`) and writes a machine-readable capsule at `.mosaic/orchestrator/next-task.json`:
+
+```
+## Continuation Mission
+Continue **{mission}** from existing state.
+- Read docs/MISSION-MANIFEST.md for scope and status
+- Read docs/scratchpads/{id}.md for decisions
+- Read docs/TASKS.md for current state
+- Continue from task {next-task-id}
+```
+
+### Between Sessions (r0 manual)
+
+1. Agent stops (expected — this is the confirmed stamina limitation)
+2. Human runs `mosaic coord mission` to check status
+3. Human runs `mosaic coord continue` to generate continuation prompt
+4. Human launches new session and pastes the prompt
+5. New agent reads manifest, scratchpad, TASKS.md and continues
+
+### Between Sessions (r0 assisted)
+
+Use `mosaic coord run` to remove copy/paste steps:
+
+1. Agent stops
+2. Human runs `mosaic coord run [--claude|--codex]`
+3. Coordinator regenerates continuation prompt + `next-task.json`
+4. Coordinator launches selected runtime with scoped kickoff context
+5. New session resumes from next task
+

+
+## 7. Failure Taxonomy Quick Reference
+
+| Code | Type                   | Recovery                                              |
+| ---- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| F1   | Premature Stop         | Continuation prompt → new session (most common)       |
+| F2   | Context Exhaustion     | Handoff message → new session                         |
+| F3   | Session Crash          | Check git state → `mosaic coord resume` → new session |
+| F4   | Error Spiral           | Kill session, mark task blocked, skip to next         |
+| F5   | Quality Gate Failure   | Create QA remediation task                            |
+| F6   | Infrastructure Failure | Pause, retry when service recovers                    |
+| F7   | False Completion       | Append correction to scratchpad, relaunch             |
+| F8   | Scope Drift            | Kill session, relaunch with scratchpad ref            |
+| F9   | Subagent Failure       | Orchestrator retries or creates remediation           |
+| F10  | Deadlock               | Escalate to human                                     |
+
+### F1: Premature Stop — Detailed Recovery
+
+This is the confirmed, most common failure. Every session will eventually trigger F1.
+
+1. Session ends with tasks remaining in TASKS.md
+2. Run `mosaic coord mission` — verify milestone status
+3. If milestone complete: verify CI green, deployed, issues closed
+4. Run `mosaic coord continue` — generates scoped continuation prompt
+5. Launch new session, paste prompt
+6. New session reads state and continues from next pending task
+
+---
+
+## 8. r0 Manual Coordinator Process
+
+In r0, the Coordinator is Jason + shell scripts. No daemon. No automation.
+
+### Commands
+
+| Command                                             | Purpose                                           |
+| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| `mosaic coord init --name "..." --milestones "..."` | Initialize a new mission                          |
+| `mosaic coord mission`                              | Show mission progress dashboard                   |
+| `mosaic coord status`                               | Check if agent session is still running           |
+| `mosaic coord continue`                             | Generate continuation prompt for next session     |
+| `mosaic coord run [--claude                         | --codex]`                                         | Generate continuation context and launch runtime |
+| `mosaic coord resume`                               | Crash recovery (detect dirty state, generate fix) |
+| `mosaic coord resume --clean-lock`                  | Clear stale session lock after review             |
+
+### Typical Workflow
+
+```
+init → launch agent → [agent works] → agent stops →
+status → mission → run → repeat
+```

+# PRD Requirement Guide (MANDATORY)
+
+This guide defines how requirements are captured before coding.
+
+## Hard Rules
+
+1. Before coding begins, `docs/PRD.md` or `docs/PRD.json` MUST exist.
+2. The PRD is the authoritative requirements source for implementation and testing.
+3. The main agent MUST prepare or update the PRD using user input and available project context before implementation starts.
+4. The agent MUST NOT invent requirements silently.
+5. In steered autonomy mode, best-guess decisions are REQUIRED when needed; each guessed decision MUST be marked with `ASSUMPTION:` and rationale.
+
+## PRD Format
+
+Allowed canonical formats:
+
+1. `docs/PRD.md`
+2. `docs/PRD.json`
+
+Either format is valid. Both may exist if one is a transformed representation of the other.
+For markdown PRDs, start from `~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/PRD.md.template`.
+
+## Best-Guess Mode
+
+Steered autonomy is the default operating mode.
+
+1. Agent SHOULD fill missing decisions in the PRD without waiting for routine confirmation.
+2. Agent MUST mark each guessed decision with `ASSUMPTION:` and rationale.
+3. If user explicitly requests strict-confirmation mode, the agent MUST ask before unresolved decisions are finalized.
+4. For high-impact security/compliance/release uncertainty, escalate only if the decision cannot be safely constrained with rollback-ready defaults.
+
+## Minimum PRD Content
+
+Every PRD MUST include:
+
+1. Problem statement and objective
+2. In-scope and out-of-scope
+3. User/stakeholder requirements
+4. Functional requirements
+5. Non-functional requirements (security, performance, reliability, observability)
+6. Acceptance criteria
+7. Constraints and dependencies
+8. Risks and open questions
+9. Testing and verification expectations
+10. Delivery/milestone intent
+
+## Pre-Coding Gate
+
+Coding MUST NOT begin until:
+
+1. PRD file exists (`docs/PRD.md` or `docs/PRD.json`)
+2. PRD has required sections
+3. Unresolved decisions are captured as explicit `ASSUMPTION:` entries with rationale and planned validation
+
+## Change Control
+
+When requirements materially change:
+
+1. Update PRD first.
+2. Then update implementation plan/tasks.
+3. Then implement code changes.
+
+Implementation that diverges from PRD without PRD updates is a blocker.

+# QA & Testing Guide
+
+## Before Starting
+
+1. Check assigned issue: `~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/issue-list.sh -a @me`
+2. Create scratchpad: `docs/scratchpads/{issue-number}-{short-name}.md`
+3. Review `docs/PRD.md` or `docs/PRD.json` as the requirements source.
+4. Review acceptance criteria and affected change surfaces.
+
+## Testing Policy (Hard Rules)
+
+1. Situational testing is the PRIMARY validation gate.
+2. Baseline testing is REQUIRED for all software changes.
+3. TDD is risk-based and REQUIRED only for defined high-risk change types.
+4. Tests MUST validate requirements and behavior, not only internal implementation details.
+
+## Priority Order
+
+1. Situational tests: prove requirements and real behavior on changed surfaces.
+2. Baseline tests: lint/type/unit/integration safety checks.
+3. TDD discipline: applied where risk justifies test-first workflow.
+
+## Risk-Based TDD Requirement
+
+| Change Type                                    | TDD Requirement | Required Action                                                        |
+| ---------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Bug fix                                        | REQUIRED        | Write a failing reproducer test first, then fix.                       |
+| Security/auth/permission logic                 | REQUIRED        | Write failing security/permission-path test first.                     |
+| Critical business logic or data mutation rules | REQUIRED        | Write failing rule/invariant test first.                               |
+| API behavior regression                        | REQUIRED        | Write failing contract/behavior test first.                            |
+| Low-risk UI copy/style/layout                  | OPTIONAL        | Add verification tests as appropriate; TDD recommended, not mandatory. |
+| Mechanical refactor with unchanged behavior    | OPTIONAL        | Ensure regression/smoke coverage and situational evidence.             |
+
+If TDD is not required and skipped, record rationale in scratchpad.
+If TDD is required and skipped, task is NOT complete.
+
+## Baseline Test Requirements
+
+For all software changes, run baseline checks applicable to the repo:
+
+1. lint/static checks
+2. type checks
+3. unit tests for changed logic
+4. integration tests for changed boundaries
+
+## Situational Testing Matrix (Primary Gate)
+
+| Change Surface               | Required Situational Tests                                                    |
+| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Authentication/authorization | auth failure-path tests, permission boundary tests, token/session validation  |
+| Database schema/migrations   | migration up/down validation, rollback safety, data integrity checks          |
+| API contract changes         | backward compatibility checks, consumer-impact tests, contract tests          |
+| Frontend/UI workflow changes | end-to-end flow tests, accessibility sanity checks, state transition checks   |
+| CI/CD or deployment changes  | pipeline execution validation, artifact integrity checks, rollback path check |
+| Security-sensitive logic     | abuse-case tests, input validation fuzzing/sanitization checks                |
+| Performance-critical path    | baseline comparison, regression threshold checks                              |
+
+## Coverage Requirements
+
+### Minimum Standards
+
+- Overall Coverage: 85% minimum
+- Critical Paths: 95% minimum (auth, payments, data mutations)
+- New Code: 90% minimum
+
+Coverage is necessary but NOT sufficient. Passing coverage does not replace situational verification.
+
+## Requirements-to-Evidence Mapping (Mandatory)
+
+Before completion, map each acceptance criterion to concrete evidence.
+Acceptance criteria MUST come from the active PRD.
+
+Template:
+
+```markdown
+| Acceptance Criterion | Verification Method                                    | Evidence         |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------- |
+| AC-1: ...            | Situational test / baseline test / manual verification | command + result |
+| AC-2: ...            | ...                                                    | ...              |
+```
+
+## Browser Automation (Hard Rule)
+
+All browser automation (Playwright, Cypress, Puppeteer) MUST run in **headless mode**.
+Launching a visible browser collides with the user's display and active session.
+
+- Playwright: use `headless: true` in config or `--headed` must NOT be passed
+- Cypress: use `cypress run` (headless by default), never `cypress open`
+- Puppeteer: use `headless: true` (default)
+
+If a project's `playwright.config.ts` does not explicitly set `headless: true`, add it before running tests.
+
+## Test Quality Rules
+
+1. Test behavior and outcomes, not private implementation details.
+2. Include failure-path and edge-case assertions for changed behavior.
+3. Keep tests deterministic; no new flaky tests.
+4. Keep tests isolated; no dependency on execution order.
+
+## Anti-Gaming Rules
+
+1. Do NOT stop at "tests pass" if acceptance criteria are not verified.
+2. Do NOT write narrow tests that only satisfy assertions while missing real workflow behavior.
+3. Do NOT claim completion without situational evidence for impacted surfaces.
+
+## Reporting
+
+QA report MUST include:
+
+1. baseline tests run and outcomes
+2. situational tests run and outcomes
+3. TDD usage decision (required/applied or optional/skipped with rationale)
+4. acceptance-criteria-to-evidence mapping
+5. coverage results
+6. residual risk notes
+
+## Before Completing
+
+1. Baseline tests pass.
+2. Required situational tests pass.
+3. TDD obligations met for required change types.
+4. Acceptance criteria mapped to evidence.
+5. No flaky tests introduced.
+6. CI pipeline passes (if available).
+7. Scratchpad updated with results.

+# TypeScript Style Guide
+
+**Authority**: This guide is MANDATORY for all TypeScript code. No exceptions without explicit approval.
+
+Based on Google TypeScript Style Guide with stricter enforcement.
+
+---
+
+## Core Principles
+
+1. **Explicit over implicit** — Always declare types, never rely on inference for public APIs
+2. **Specific over generic** — Use the narrowest type that works
+3. **Safe over convenient** — Type safety is not negotiable
+4. **Contract-first boundaries** — Cross-module and API payloads MUST use dedicated DTO files
+
+---
+
+## DTO Contract (MANDATORY)
+
+DTO files are REQUIRED for TypeScript module boundaries to preserve shared context and consistency.
+
+Hard requirements:
+
+1. Input and output payloads crossing module boundaries MUST be defined in `*.dto.ts` files.
+2. Controller/service boundary payloads MUST use DTO types; inline object literal types are NOT allowed.
+3. Public API request/response contracts MUST use DTO files and remain stable across modules.
+4. Shared DTOs used by multiple modules MUST live in a shared location (for example `src/shared/dto/` or `packages/shared/dto/`).
+5. ORM/entity models MUST NOT be exposed directly across module boundaries; map them to DTOs.
+6. DTO changes MUST be reflected in tests and documentation when contracts change.
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG: inline payload contract at boundary
+export function createUser(payload: { email: string; role: string }): Promise<User> {}
+
+// ✅ CORRECT: dedicated DTO file contract
+// user-create.dto.ts
+export interface UserCreateDto {
+  email: string;
+  role: UserRole;
+}
+
+// user-response.dto.ts
+export interface UserResponseDto {
+  id: string;
+  email: string;
+  role: UserRole;
+}
+
+// service.ts
+export function createUser(payload: UserCreateDto): Promise<UserResponseDto> {}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Forbidden Patterns (NEVER USE)
+
+### `any` Type — FORBIDDEN
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ NEVER
+function process(data: any) {}
+const result: any = fetchData();
+Record<string, any>;
+
+// ✅ ALWAYS define explicit types
+interface UserData {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  email: string;
+}
+function process(data: UserData) {}
+```
+
+### `unknown` as Lazy Typing — FORBIDDEN
+
+`unknown` is only acceptable in these specific cases:
+
+1. Error catch blocks (then immediately narrow)
+2. JSON.parse results (then validate with Zod/schema)
+3. External API responses before validation
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ NEVER - using unknown to avoid typing
+function getData(): unknown {}
+const config: Record<string, unknown> = {};
+
+// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - error handling with immediate narrowing
+try {
+  riskyOperation();
+} catch (error: unknown) {
+  if (error instanceof Error) {
+    logger.error(error.message);
+  } else {
+    logger.error('Unknown error', { error: String(error) });
+  }
+}
+
+// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - external data with validation
+const raw: unknown = JSON.parse(response);
+const validated = UserSchema.parse(raw); // Zod validation
+```
+
+### Implicit `any` — FORBIDDEN
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ NEVER - implicit any from missing types
+function process(data) {} // Parameter has implicit any
+const handler = (e) => {}; // Parameter has implicit any
+
+// ✅ ALWAYS - explicit types
+function process(data: RequestPayload): ProcessedResult {}
+const handler = (e: React.MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement>): void => {};
+```
+
+### Type Assertions to Bypass Safety — FORBIDDEN
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ NEVER - lying to the compiler
+const user = data as User;
+const element = document.getElementById('app') as HTMLDivElement;
+
+// ✅ USE - type guards and narrowing
+function isUser(data: unknown): data is User {
+  return typeof data === 'object' && data !== null && 'id' in data;
+}
+if (isUser(data)) {
+  console.log(data.id); // Safe
+}
+
+// ✅ USE - null checks
+const element = document.getElementById('app');
+if (element instanceof HTMLDivElement) {
+  element.style.display = 'none'; // Safe
+}
+```
+
+### Non-null Assertion (`!`) — FORBIDDEN (except tests)
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ NEVER in production code
+const name = user!.name;
+const element = document.getElementById('app')!;
+
+// ✅ USE - proper null handling
+const name = user?.name ?? 'Anonymous';
+const element = document.getElementById('app');
+if (element) {
+  // Safe to use element
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Required Patterns
+
+### Explicit Return Types — REQUIRED for all public functions
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG - missing return type
+export function calculateTotal(items: Item[]) {
+  return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
+}
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - explicit return type
+export function calculateTotal(items: Item[]): number {
+  return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
+}
+```
+
+### Explicit Parameter Types — REQUIRED always
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG
+const multiply = (a, b) => a * b;
+users.map((user) => user.name); // If user type isn't inferred
+
+// ✅ CORRECT
+const multiply = (a: number, b: number): number => a * b;
+users.map((user: User): string => user.name);
+```
+
+### Interface Over Type Alias — PREFERRED for objects
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ PREFERRED - interface (extendable, better error messages)
+interface User {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  email: string;
+}
+
+// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - type alias for unions, intersections, primitives
+type Status = 'active' | 'inactive' | 'pending';
+type ID = string | number;
+```
+
+### Const Assertions for Literals — REQUIRED
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG - loses literal types
+const config = {
+  endpoint: '/api/users',
+  method: 'GET',
+};
+// config.method is string, not 'GET'
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - preserves literal types
+const config = {
+  endpoint: '/api/users',
+  method: 'GET',
+} as const;
+// config.method is 'GET'
+```
+
+### Discriminated Unions — REQUIRED for variants
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG - optional properties for variants
+interface ApiResponse {
+  success: boolean;
+  data?: User;
+  error?: string;
+}
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - discriminated union
+interface SuccessResponse {
+  success: true;
+  data: User;
+}
+interface ErrorResponse {
+  success: false;
+  error: string;
+}
+type ApiResponse = SuccessResponse | ErrorResponse;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Generic Constraints
+
+### Meaningful Constraints — REQUIRED
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG - unconstrained generic
+function merge<T>(a: T, b: T): T {}
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - constrained generic
+function merge<T extends object>(a: T, b: Partial<T>): T {}
+```
+
+### Default Generic Parameters — USE SPECIFIC TYPES
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG
+interface Repository<T = unknown> {}
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - no default if type should be explicit
+interface Repository<T extends Entity> {}
+
+// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - meaningful default
+interface Cache<T extends Serializable = JsonValue> {}
+```
+
+---
+
+## React/JSX Specific
+
+### Event Handlers — EXPLICIT TYPES REQUIRED
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG
+const handleClick = (e) => {};
+const handleChange = (e) => {};
+
+// ✅ CORRECT
+const handleClick = (e: React.MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement>): void => {};
+const handleChange = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>): void => {};
+const handleSubmit = (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>): void => {};
+```
+
+### Component Props — INTERFACE REQUIRED
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG - inline types
+function Button({ label, onClick }: { label: string; onClick: () => void }) { }
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - named interface
+interface ButtonProps {
+  label: string;
+  onClick: () => void;
+  disabled?: boolean;
+}
+
+function Button({ label, onClick, disabled = false }: ButtonProps): JSX.Element {
+  return <button onClick={onClick} disabled={disabled}>{label}</button>;
+}
+```
+
+### Children Prop — USE React.ReactNode
+
+```typescript
+interface LayoutProps {
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+  sidebar?: React.ReactNode;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## API Response Typing
+
+### Define Explicit Response Types
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG
+const response = await fetch('/api/users');
+const data = await response.json(); // data is any
+
+// ✅ CORRECT
+interface UsersResponse {
+  users: User[];
+  pagination: PaginationInfo;
+}
+
+const response = await fetch('/api/users');
+const data: UsersResponse = await response.json();
+
+// ✅ BEST - with runtime validation
+const response = await fetch('/api/users');
+const raw = await response.json();
+const data = UsersResponseSchema.parse(raw); // Zod validates at runtime
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Typed Error Classes — REQUIRED for domain errors
+
+```typescript
+class ValidationError extends Error {
+  constructor(
+    message: string,
+    public readonly field: string,
+    public readonly code: string,
+  ) {
+    super(message);
+    this.name = 'ValidationError';
+  }
+}
+
+class NotFoundError extends Error {
+  constructor(
+    public readonly resource: string,
+    public readonly id: string,
+  ) {
+    super(`${resource} with id ${id} not found`);
+    this.name = 'NotFoundError';
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Error Narrowing — REQUIRED
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  await saveUser(user);
+} catch (error: unknown) {
+  if (error instanceof ValidationError) {
+    return { error: error.message, field: error.field };
+  }
+  if (error instanceof NotFoundError) {
+    return { error: 'Not found', resource: error.resource };
+  }
+  if (error instanceof Error) {
+    logger.error('Unexpected error', { message: error.message, stack: error.stack });
+    return { error: 'Internal error' };
+  }
+  logger.error('Unknown error type', { error: String(error) });
+  return { error: 'Internal error' };
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## ESLint Rules — ENFORCE THESE
+
+```javascript
+{
+  "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": "error",
+  "@typescript-eslint/explicit-function-return-type": ["error", {
+    "allowExpressions": true,
+    "allowTypedFunctionExpressions": true
+  }],

+From best to worst:
+
+1. **Explicit specific type** (interface/type) — REQUIRED
+2. **Generic with constraints** — ACCEPTABLE
+3. **`unknown` with immediate validation** — ONLY for external data
+4. **`any`** — FORBIDDEN
+
+**When in doubt, define an interface.**

+# Vault Secrets Management Guide
+
+This guide applies when the project uses HashiCorp Vault for secrets management.
+
+## Before Starting
+
+1. Verify Vault access: `vault status`
+2. Authenticate: `vault login` (method depends on environment)
+3. Check your permissions for the required paths
+
+## Canonical Structure
+
+**ALL Vault secrets MUST follow this structure:**
+
+```
+{mount}/{service}/{component}/{secret-name}
+```
+
+### Components
+
+- **mount**: Environment-specific mount point
+- **service**: The service or application name
+- **component**: Logical grouping (database, api, oauth, etc.)
+- **secret-name**: Specific secret identifier
+
+## Environment Mounts
+
+| Mount             | Environment | Usage                  |
+| ----------------- | ----------- | ---------------------- |
+| `secret-dev/`     | Development | Local dev, CI          |
+| `secret-staging/` | Staging     | Pre-production testing |
+| `secret-prod/`    | Production  | Live systems           |
+
+## Examples
+
+```bash
+# Database credentials
+secret-prod/postgres/database/app
+secret-prod/mysql/database/readonly
+secret-staging/redis/auth/default
+
+# API tokens
+secret-prod/authentik/admin/token
+secret-prod/stripe/api/live-key
+secret-dev/sendgrid/api/test-key
+
+# JWT/Authentication
+secret-prod/backend-api/jwt/signing-key
+secret-prod/auth-service/session/secret
+
+# OAuth providers
+secret-prod/backend-api/oauth/google
+secret-prod/backend-api/oauth/github
+
+# Internal services
+secret-prod/loki/read-auth/admin
+secret-prod/grafana/admin/password
+```
+
+## Standard Field Names
+
+Use consistent field names within secrets:
+
+| Purpose     | Fields                       |
+| ----------- | ---------------------------- |
+| Credentials | `username`, `password`       |
+| Tokens      | `token`                      |
+| OAuth       | `client_id`, `client_secret` |
+| Connection  | `url`, `host`, `port`        |
+| Keys        | `public_key`, `private_key`  |
+
+### Example Secret Structure
+
+```json
+// secret-prod/postgres/database/app
+{
+  "username": "app_user",
+  "password": "secure-password-here",
+  "host": "db.example.com",
+  "port": "5432",
+  "database": "myapp"
+}
+```
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **DO NOT GUESS** secret paths - Always verify the path exists
+2. **Use helper scripts** in `scripts/vault/` when available
+3. **All lowercase, hyphenated** (kebab-case) for all path segments
+4. **Standard field names** - Use the conventions above
+5. **No sensitive data in path names** - Path itself should not reveal secrets
+6. **Environment separation** - Never reference prod secrets from dev
+
+## Deprecated Paths (DO NOT USE)
+
+These legacy patterns are deprecated and should be migrated:
+
+| Deprecated                | Migrate To                                  |
+| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| `secret/infrastructure/*` | `secret-{env}/{service}/...`                |
+| `secret/oauth/*`          | `secret-{env}/{service}/oauth/{provider}`   |
+| `secret/database/*`       | `secret-{env}/{service}/database/{user}`    |
+| `secret/credentials/*`    | `secret-{env}/{service}/{component}/{name}` |
+
+## Reading Secrets
+
+### CLI
+
+```bash
+# Read a secret
+vault kv get secret-prod/postgres/database/app
+
+# Get specific field
+vault kv get -field=password secret-prod/postgres/database/app
+
+# JSON output
+vault kv get -format=json secret-prod/postgres/database/app
+```
+
+### Application Code
+
+**Python (hvac):**
+
+```python
+import hvac
+
+client = hvac.Client(url='https://vault.example.com')
+secret = client.secrets.kv.v2.read_secret_version(
+    path='postgres/database/app',
+    mount_point='secret-prod'
+)
+password = secret['data']['data']['password']
+```
+
+**Node.js (node-vault):**
+
+```javascript
+const vault = require('node-vault')({ endpoint: 'https://vault.example.com' });
+const secret = await vault.read('secret-prod/data/postgres/database/app');
+const password = secret.data.data.password;
+```
+
+**Go:**
+
+```go
+secret, err := client.Logical().Read("secret-prod/data/postgres/database/app")
+password := secret.Data["data"].(map[string]interface{})["password"].(string)
+```
+
+## Writing Secrets
+
+Only authorized personnel should write secrets. If you need a new secret:
+
+1. Request through proper channels (ticket, PR to IaC repo)
+2. Follow the canonical structure
+3. Document the secret's purpose
+4. Set appropriate access policies
+
+```bash
+# Example (requires write permissions)
+vault kv put secret-dev/myapp/database/app \
+  username="dev_user" \
+  password="dev-password" \
+  host="localhost" \
+  port="5432"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Permission Denied
+
+```
+Error: permission denied
+```
+
+- Verify your token has read access to the path
+- Check if you're using the correct mount point
+- Confirm the secret path exists
+
+### Secret Not Found
+
+```
+Error: no value found at secret-prod/data/service/component/name
+```
+
+- Verify the exact path (use `vault kv list` to explore)
+- Check for typos in service/component names
+- Confirm you're using the correct environment mount
+
+### Token Expired
+
+```
+Error: token expired
+```
+
+- Re-authenticate: `vault login`
+- Check token TTL: `vault token lookup`
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Least privilege** - Request only the permissions you need
+2. **Short-lived tokens** - Use tokens with appropriate TTLs
+3. **Audit logging** - All access is logged; act accordingly
+4. **No local copies** - Don't store secrets in files or env vars long-term
+5. **Rotate on compromise** - Immediately rotate any exposed secrets

+# Specialist Pipeline — Progressive Refinement Architecture
+
+**Status:** DRAFT v4 — post architecture review
+**Created:** 2026-03-24
+**Last Updated:** 2026-03-24 20:40 CDT
+
+---
+
+## Vision
+
+Replace "throw it at a Codex worker and hope" with a **railed pipeline** where each stage narrows scope, increases precision, and catches mistakes before they compound. Spend more time up-front declaring requirements; spend less time at the end fixing broken output.
+
+**Core principles:**
+
+- One agent, one specialty. No generalists pretending to be experts.
+- Agents must be willing to **argue, debate, and push back** — not eagerly agree and move on.
+- The pipeline is a set of **customizable rails** — agents stay on track, don't get sidetracked or derailed.
+- Dynamic composition — only relevant specialists are called in per task.
+- Hard gates between stages — mechanical checks + agent oversight for final decision.
+- Minimal human oversight once the PRD is declared.
+
+---
+
+## The Pipeline
+
+```
+PRD.md (human declares requirements)
+    │
+    ▼
+BRIEFS (PRD decomposed into discrete work units)
+    │
+    ▼
+BOARD OF DIRECTORS (strategic go/no-go per brief)
+    │  Static composition. CEO, CTO, CFO, COO.
+    │  Output: Approved brief with business constraints, priority, budget
+    │  Board does NOT select technical participants — that's the Brief Analyzer's job
+    │  Gate: Board consensus required to proceed
+    │  REJECTED → archive + notify human. NEEDS REVISION → back to Intake.
+    │
+    │  POST-RUN REVIEW: Board reviews memos from completed pipeline
+    │  runs. Analyzes for conflicts, adjusts strategy, feeds learnings
+    │  back into future briefs. The Board is not fire-and-forget.
+    │
+    ▼
+BRIEF ANALYZER (technical composition)
+    │  Sonnet agent analyzes approved brief + project context
+    │  Selects which generalists/specialists participate in each planning stage
+    │  Separates strategic decisions (Board) from technical composition
+    │
+    ▼
+PLANNING 1 — Architecture (Domain Generalists)
+    │  Dynamic composition based on brief requirements.
+    │  Software Architect + relevant generalists only.
+    │  Output: Architecture Decision Record (ADR)
+    │  Agents MUST debate trade-offs. No rubber-stamping.
+    │  Gate: ADR approved, all dissents resolved or recorded
+    │
+    ▼
+PLANNING 2 — Implementation Design (Language/Domain Specialists)
+    │  Dynamic composition — only languages/domains in the ADR.
+    │  Output: Implementation spec per component
+    │  Each specialist argues for their domain's best practices.
+    │  Gate: All specs reviewed by Architecture, no conflicts
+    │
+    ▼
+PLANNING 3 — Task Decomposition & Estimation
+    │  Context Manager + Task Distributor
+    │  Output: Task breakdown with dependency graph, estimates,
+    │          context packets per worker, acceptance criteria
+    │  Gate: Every task has one owner, one completion condition,
+    │         estimated rounds, and explicit test criteria
+    │
+    ▼
+CODING (Workers execute)
+    │  Codex/Claude workers with specialist subagents loaded
+    │  Each worker gets: context packet + implementation spec + acceptance criteria
+    │  Workers stay in their lane — the rails prevent drift
+    │  Gate: Code compiles, lints, passes unit tests
+    │
+    ▼
+REVIEW (Specialist review)
+    │  Code reviewer (evidence-driven, severity-ranked)
+    │  Security auditor (attack paths, secrets, auth)
+    │  Language specialist for the relevant language
+    │  Gate: All findings addressed or explicitly accepted with rationale
+    │
+    ▼
+REMEDIATE (if review finds issues)
+    │  Worker fixes based on review findings
+    │  Loops back to REVIEW
+    │  Gate: Same as REVIEW — clean pass required
+    │
+    ▼
+TEST (Integration + acceptance)
+    │  QA Strategist validates against acceptance criteria from Planning 3
+    │  Gate: All acceptance criteria pass, no regressions
+    │
+    ▼
+DEPLOY
+       Infrastructure Lead handles deployment
+       Gate: Smoke tests pass in target environment
+```

+
+## Orchestration — Who Watches the Pipeline?
+
+### The Orchestrator (Mosaic's role)
+
+**Not me (Jarvis). Not any single agent. The Orchestrator is a dedicated, mechanical process with AI oversight.**
+
+The Orchestrator is:
+
+- **Primarily mechanical** — moves work through stages, enforces gates, tracks state
+- **AI-assisted at decision points** — an agent reviews gate results and makes go/no-go calls
+- **The thing Mosaic Stack productizes** — this IS the engine from the North Star vision
+
+How it works:
+
+1. **Stage Runner** (mechanical): Advances work through the pipeline. Checks gate conditions. Purely deterministic — "did all gate criteria pass? yes → advance. no → hold."
+2. **Gate Reviewer** (AI agent): When a gate's mechanical checks pass, the Gate Reviewer does a final sanity check. "The code lints and tests pass, but does this actually solve the problem?" This is the lightweight oversight layer.
+3. **Escalation** (to human): If the Gate Reviewer is uncertain, or if debate in a planning stage is unresolved after N rounds, escalate to Jason.
+
+### What Sends a Plan Back for More Debate?
+
+Triggers for **rework/rejection**:
+
+- **Gate failure** — mechanical checks don't pass → automatic rework
+- **Gate Reviewer dissent** — AI reviewer flags a concern → sent back with specific objection
+- **Unresolved debate** — planning agents can't reach consensus after N rounds → escalate or send back with the dissenting positions documented
+- **Scope creep detection** — if a stage's output significantly exceeds the brief's scope → flag and return
+- **Dependency conflict** — Planning 3 finds the task breakdown has circular deps or impossible ordering → return to Planning 2
+- **Review severity threshold** — if Review finds CRITICAL-severity issues → auto-reject back to Coding, no discussion
+
+### Human Touchpoints (minimal by design)
+
+- **PRD.md** — Human writes this. This is where you spend the time.
+- **Board escalation** — Only if the Board can't reach consensus on a brief.
+- **Planning escalation** — Only if debate is unresolved after max rounds.
+- **Deploy approval** — Optional. Could be fully automated for low-risk deploys.
+
+Everything else runs autonomously on rails.
+
+---
+
+## Gate System
+
+Every gate has **mechanical checks** (automated, deterministic) and an **agent review** (final judgment call).
+
+| Stage →                                | Mechanical Checks                                                 | Agent Review                                                                  |
+| -------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Board → Planning 1**                 | Brief exists, has success criteria, has budget                    | Gate Reviewer: "Is this brief well-scoped enough to architect?"               |
+| **Planning 1 → Planning 2**            | ADR exists, covers all components in brief                        | Gate Reviewer: "Does this architecture actually solve the problem?"           |
+| **Planning 2 → Planning 3**            | Implementation spec per component, no unresolved conflicts        | Gate Reviewer: "Are the specs consistent with each other and the ADR?"        |
+| **Planning 3 → Coding**                | Task breakdown exists, all tasks have owner + criteria + estimate | Gate Reviewer: "Is this actually implementable as decomposed?"                |
+| **Coding → Review**                    | Compiles, lints, unit tests pass                                  | Gate Reviewer: "Does the code match the implementation spec?"                 |
+| **Review → Test** (or **→ Remediate**) | All review findings addressed                                     | Gate Reviewer: "Are the fixes real or did the worker just suppress warnings?" |
+| **Test → Deploy**                      | All acceptance criteria pass, no regressions                      | Gate Reviewer: "Ready for production?"                                        |

+| ---- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

+| CFO  | Sonnet | Cost-conscious, asks "what does this cost vs return?" — needs real analytical depth for budget/ROI, not a lightweight model |
+| COO  | Sonnet | Operational, asks "what's the timeline and resource impact?"                                                                |
+
+### Planning Stages — DYNAMIC
+
+**The Orchestrator selects participants based on the brief's requirements.** Not every specialist is needed for every task.
+
+Selection logic:
+
+1. Parse the brief/ADR for **languages mentioned** → include those Language Specialists
+2. Parse for **infrastructure concerns** → include Infra Lead, Docker/Swarm, CI/CD as needed
+3. Parse for **data concerns** → include Data Architect, SQL Pro
+4. Parse for **UI concerns** → include UX Strategist, Web Design, React/RN Specialist
+5. Parse for **security concerns** → include Security Architect
+6. **Always include:** Software Architect (Planning 1), QA Strategist (Planning 3)
+
+Example: A TypeScript NestJS API endpoint with Prisma:
+
+- Planning 1: Software Architect, Security Architect, Data Architect
+- Planning 2: TypeScript Pro, NestJS Expert, SQL Pro
+- Planning 3: Task Distributor, Context Manager
+
+Example: A React dashboard with no backend changes:
+
+- Planning 1: Software Architect, UX Strategist
+- Planning 2: React Specialist, Web Design, UX/UI Design
+- Planning 3: Task Distributor, Context Manager
+
+**Go Pro doesn't sit in on a TypeScript project. Solidity Pro doesn't weigh in on a dashboard.**
+
+---
+
+## Debate Culture
+
+Agents in planning stages are **required** to:
+
+1. **State their position with reasoning** — no "sounds good to me"
+2. **Challenge other positions** — "I disagree because..."
+3. **Identify risks the others haven't raised** — adversarial by design
+4. **Formally dissent if not convinced** — dissents are recorded in the ADR/spec
+5. **Not capitulate just to move forward** — the Orchestrator tracks rounds and will call time, but agents shouldn't fold under social pressure
+
+**Round limits:** Min 3, Max 30. The discussion must be allowed to properly work. Don't cut debate short — premature consensus produces bad architecture. The Orchestrator tracks rounds and will intervene only when debate is genuinely circular (repeating the same arguments) rather than still productive.
+
+This is enforced via personality in the agent definitions:
+
+- Architects are opinionated and will argue for clean boundaries
+- Security Architect is paranoid by design — always looking for what can go wrong
+- QA Strategist is skeptical — "prove it works, don't tell me it works"
+- Language specialists are purists about their domain's best practices
+
+**The goal:** By the time code is written, the hard decisions are already made and debated. The workers just execute a well-argued plan.

+| ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| No pre-coding design            | Brief → Codex starts coding immediately | 3 planning stages before anyone writes code                       |
+| Agents get sidetracked/derailed | No rails, workers drift from task       | Mechanical pipeline + context packets keep workers on track       |
+| No debate on approach           | First idea wins                         | Agents required to argue, dissent, challenge                      |

+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1 — Foundation (this week)
+
+1. Pull and customize Codex subagents: `reviewer.toml`, `security-auditor.toml`, `context-manager.toml`, `task-distributor.toml`, `workflow-orchestrator.toml`
+2. Inject our project-specific knowledge
+3. Install to `~/.codex/agents/`
+4. Define agent personality templates for debate culture (opinionated, adversarial, skeptical)
+
+### Phase 2 — Specialist Definitions (next week)
+
+1. Create language specialist definitions (TS, JS, Go, Rust, Solidity, Python, SQL, LangChain, C++)
+2. Create domain specialist definitions (NestJS, React, Docker/Swarm, CI/CD, Web Design, UX/UI, Blockchain/DeFi, React Native)
+3. Create generalist definitions (Software Architect, Security Architect, Infra Lead, Data Architect, QA Strategist, UX Strategist)
+4. Format as Codex `.toml` + OpenClaw skills
+5. Test each against a real past task
+
+### Phase 3 — Pipeline Wiring (week after)
+
+1. Build the Orchestrator (mechanical stage runner + gate checker)
+2. Build the Gate Reviewer agent
+3. Wire dynamic composition (brief → participant selection)
+4. Wire the debate protocol (round tracking, dissent recording, escalation rules)
+5. Wire Planning 1 → 2 → 3 handoff contracts
+6. Wire Review → Remediate → Review loop
+7. Test end-to-end with a real feature request
+
+### Phase 4 — Mosaic Integration (future)
+
+1. The Orchestrator becomes a Mosaic Stack feature
+2. Pipeline stages map to Mosaic task states
+3. Gate results feed the Mission Control dashboard
+4. This IS the engine — the dashboard is just the window
+
+### Phase 5 — Advanced Patterns (future)
+
+1. `b3ehive` competitive implementation for critical paths
+2. `astrai-code-review` model routing for cost optimization
+3. `agent-council` automated scaffolding for new specialists
+4. Estimation feedback loop (compare estimates to actuals)
+5. Pipeline analytics (which stages catch the most issues, where do we bottleneck)

+## Resolved Decisions
+
+| #   | Question                | Decision                                          | Rationale                                                                                                                                                                           |
+| --- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| 1   | **Gate Reviewer model** | Sonnet for all gates                              | Sufficient depth for judgment calls; Opus reserved for planning deliberation                                                                                                        |
+| 2   | **Debate rounds**       | Min 3, Max 30 per stage                           | Let discussions work. Don't cut short. Intervene on circular repetition, not round count.                                                                                           |
+| 3   | **PRD format**          | Use existing Mosaic PRD template                  | `~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/PRD.md.template` + `~/.config/mosaic/skills-local/prd/SKILL.md` already proven. Iterate from there.                                                |
+| 4   | **Small tasks**         | Pipeline is for projects/features, not typo fixes | This is for getting a project or feature built smoothly. Single-file fixes go direct to a worker. Threshold: if it needs architecture decisions, it goes through the pipeline.      |
+| 5   | **Specialist memory**   | Yes — specialists accumulate knowledge with rails | Similar to OpenClaw memory model. Specialists learn from past tasks ("last time X caused Y") but must maintain their specialty rails. Knowledge is domain-scoped, not freeform.     |
+| 6   | **Cost ceiling**        | ~$500 per pipeline run (11+ stages)               | Using subs (Anthropic, OpenAI), so API costs are minimized or eliminated. Budget is time/throughput, not dollars.                                                                   |
+| 7   | **Where this lives**    | Standalone service, Pi under the hood             | Must be standalone so it can migrate to Mosaic Stack in the future. Pi (mosaic bootstrap) provides the execution substrate. Already using Pi for BOD. Dogfood → prove → productize. |
+
+## PRD Template
+
+The pipeline uses the existing Mosaic PRD infrastructure:
+
+- **Template:** `~/.config/mosaic/templates/docs/PRD.md.template`
+- **Skill:** `~/.config/mosaic/skills-local/prd/SKILL.md` (guided PRD generation with clarifying questions)
+- **Guide:** `~/.config/mosaic/guides/PRD.md` (hard rules — PRD must exist before coding begins)
+
+### Required PRD Sections (from Mosaic guide)
+
+1. Problem statement and objective
+2. In-scope and out-of-scope
+3. User/stakeholder requirements
+4. Functional requirements
+5. Non-functional requirements (security, performance, reliability, observability)
+6. Acceptance criteria
+7. Constraints and dependencies
+8. Risks and open questions
+9. Testing and verification expectations
+10. Delivery/milestone intent
+
+The PRD skill also generates user stories with specific acceptance criteria ("Button shows confirmation dialog before deleting" not "Works correctly").
+
+**Key rule from Mosaic:** Implementation that diverges from PRD without PRD updates is a blocker. Change control: update PRD first → update plan → then implement.
+
+## Board Post-Run Review
+
+The Board of Directors is NOT fire-and-forget. After a pipeline run completes (deploy or failure):
+
+1. **Memos from each stage** are compiled into a run summary
+2. **Board reviews** the summary for:
+   - Conflicts between stage outputs
+   - Scope drift from original brief
+   - Cost/timeline variance from estimates
+   - Strategic alignment issues
+3. **Board adjusts** strategy, priorities, or constraints for future briefs
+4. **Learnings** feed back into specialist memory and Orchestrator heuristics
+
+This closes the loop. The pipeline doesn't just ship code — it learns from every run.

+## Remaining Open Questions
+
+1. **Pi integration specifics:** How exactly does Pi serve as the execution substrate? Board sessions already work via `mosaic yolo pi`. Does the full pipeline run as a Pi orchestration, or does Pi just handle individual stage sessions?
+2. **Specialist memory storage:** OpenBrain? Per-specialist markdown files? Scoped memory namespaces?
+3. **Pipeline analytics:** What metrics do we track per run? Stage duration, rework count, gate failure rate, estimate accuracy?
+4. **Parallel briefs:** Can multiple briefs from the same PRD run through the pipeline concurrently? Or strictly serial?
+5. **Escalation UX:** When the pipeline escalates to Jason, where does that notification go? Discord? TUI? Both?
+
+---
+
+## Connection to Mosaic North Star
+
+This pipeline IS the Mosaic vision, just running on agent infrastructure instead of a proper platform:
+
+- **PRD.md** → Mosaic's task queue API
+- **Orchestrator** → Mosaic's agent lifecycle management
+- **Gates** → Mosaic's review gates
+- **Pipeline stages** → Mosaic's workflow engine
+- **Dynamic composition** → Mosaic's agent selection
+
+Everything we build here gets dogfooded, refined, and eventually productized as Mosaic Stack features. We're building the engine that Mosaic will sell.
+
+### Standalone Architecture (decided)
+
+The pipeline is built as a **standalone service** — not embedded in OpenClaw or tightly coupled to any single agent framework. This is deliberate:
+
+1. **Pi (mosaic bootstrap) is the execution substrate** — already proven with BOD sessions
+2. **The Orchestrator is a mechanical state machine** — it doesn't need an LLM, it needs a process manager
+3. **Stage sessions are Pi/agent sessions** — each planning/review stage spawns a session with the right participants
+4. **Migration path to Mosaic Stack is clean** — standalone service → Mosaic feature, not "rip out of OpenClaw"
+
+The pattern: dogfood on our projects → track what works → extract into Mosaic Stack as a first-class feature.

+
+## Brief Classification System (skip-BOD support)
+
+**Added:** 2026-03-26
+
+Not every brief needs full Board of Directors review. The classification system lets briefs skip stages based on their nature.
+
+### Classes
+
+| Class       | Pipeline                      | Use case                                                             |
+| ----------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `strategic` | BOD → BA → Planning 1 → 2 → 3 | New features, architecture, integrations, security, budget decisions |
+| `technical` | BA → Planning 1 → 2 → 3       | Refactors, bugfixes, UI tweaks, style changes                        |
+| `hotfix`    | Planning 1 → 2 → 3            | Urgent patches — skip both BOD and BA                                |
+
+### Classification priority (highest wins)
+
+1. `--class` CLI flag on `forge run` or `forge resume`
+2. YAML frontmatter `class:` field in the brief
+3. Auto-classification via keyword analysis
+
+### Auto-classification keywords
+
+- **Strategic:** security, pricing, architecture, integration, budget, strategy, compliance, migration, partnership, launch
+- **Technical:** bugfix, bug, refactor, ui, style, tweak, typo, lint, cleanup, rename, hotfix, patch, css, format
+- **Default** (no keyword match): strategic (conservative — full pipeline)
+
+### Overrides
+
+- `--force-board` — forces BOD stage to run even for technical/hotfix briefs
+- `--class` on `resume` — re-classifies a run mid-flight (stages already passed are not re-run)
+
+### Backward compatibility
+
+Existing briefs without a `class` field are auto-classified. The default (no matching keywords) is `strategic`, so all existing runs get the full pipeline unless keywords trigger `technical`.

+# Brief: Mordor Coffee Shop — Full Business Launch
+
+## Source
+
+New business venture — Jason Woltje / Diverse Canvas LLC
+
+## Scope
+
+Launch "Mordor Coffee Shop" as a complete business with web presence, branding, and operational infrastructure. This is a full-stack business formation covering:
+
+### 1. Business Formation
+
+- Business entity structure (under Diverse Canvas LLC or standalone?)
+- Brand identity: name, tagline, logo concepts, color palette
+- LOTR-themed coffee shop concept (dark roast specialty, volcanic imagery, "One does not simply walk past our coffee")
+
+### 2. Website Design & Development
+
+- Marketing site at mordor.woltje.com
+- Tech stack decision (static site generator vs full app)
+- Pages: Home, Menu, About, Contact, Online Ordering (future)
+- Mobile-responsive design
+- SEO fundamentals
+- Dark/dramatic aesthetic fitting the Mordor theme
+
+### 3. Deployment & Infrastructure
+
+- Hosted on existing Portainer/Docker Swarm instance (w-docker0, 10.1.1.45)
+- Traefik reverse proxy for TLS/routing
+- CI/CD via Woodpecker (git.mosaicstack.dev)
+- Domain: mordor.woltje.com (DNS via existing infrastructure)
+
+### 4. Social Media Strategy
+
+- Platform selection (Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook — which ones and why)
+- Content strategy and posting cadence
+- Brand voice guide
+- Launch campaign plan
+
+### 5. Business Strategy
+
+- Target market analysis
+- Revenue model (physical location? online only? merch? subscription coffee?)
+- Competitive positioning
+- 6-month launch roadmap

+# Brief: Add User Preferences API Endpoint
+
+## Source PRD
+
+mosaic-stack PRD — Mission Control Dashboard
+
+## Scope
+
+Add a REST endpoint for storing and retrieving user dashboard preferences (layout, theme, sidebar state). This enables the Mission Control dashboard to persist user customization.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. GET /api/users/:id/preferences returns stored preferences (JSON)
+2. PUT /api/users/:id/preferences stores/updates preferences
+3. Preferences persist across sessions
+4. Default preferences returned for users with no stored preferences
+5. Only the authenticated user can read/write their own preferences
+
+## Estimated Complexity
+
+Medium — new endpoint, new DB table, auth integration
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Requires existing auth system (JWT guards)
+- Requires existing user entity in database

+# CEO — Board of Directors
+
+## Identity
+
+You are the CEO of this organization. You think in terms of mission, vision, and strategic alignment.
+
+## Model
+
+Opus
+
+## Personality
+
+- Visionary but grounded
+- Asks "does this serve the mission?" before anything else
+- Willing to kill good ideas that don't align with priorities
+- Respects the CFO's cost concerns but won't let penny-pinching kill strategic bets
+- Pushes back on the CTO when technical elegance conflicts with business needs
+
+## In Debates
+
+- You speak to strategic value, not technical details
+- You ask: "Who is this for? Why now? What happens if we don't do this?"
+- You are the tiebreaker when CTO and COO disagree — but you explain your reasoning
+- You call for synthesis when debate is converging, not before
+
+## LANE BOUNDARY — CRITICAL
+
+You are a STRATEGIC voice. You do not make technical decisions.
+
+### You DO
+
+- Assess strategic alignment with the mission
+- Define scope boundaries (what's in, what's explicitly out)
+- Set priority relative to other work
+- Assess business risk (not technical risk — that's the CTO's lane)
+- Make the final go/no-go call
+
+### You DO NOT
+
+- Specify technical approaches, schemas, or implementation details
+- Override the CTO's technical risk assessment (you can weigh it against business value, but don't dismiss it)
+- Make decisions that belong to the architects or specialists
+
+## Output Format
+
+```
+POSITION: [your stance]
+REASONING: [why, grounded in mission/strategy]
+SCOPE BOUNDARY: [what's in and what's explicitly out]
+RISKS: [business/strategic risks only]
+VOTE: APPROVE / REJECT / NEEDS REVISION

+# CFO — Board of Directors
+
+## Identity
+
+You are the CFO. You think in terms of cost, return on investment, and resource efficiency.
+
+## Model
+
+Sonnet
+
+## Personality
+
+- Analytical and numbers-driven
+- Asks "what does this cost, what does it return, and when?"
+- Not a blocker by nature — but will kill projects with bad economics
+- Considers opportunity cost: "if we spend resources here, what DON'T we build?"
+- Tracks accumulated costs across pipeline runs — one expensive run is fine, a pattern of waste isn't
+
+## In Debates
+
+- You quantify everything you can: estimated agent-rounds, token costs, time-to-value
+- You ask: "Is this the cheapest way to get the outcome? What's the ROI timeline?"
+- You flag scope bloat that inflates cost without proportional value
+- You advocate for phased delivery — ship a smaller version first, validate, then expand
+
+## LANE BOUNDARY — CRITICAL
+
+You are a FINANCIAL voice. You assess cost and value, not technical approach.
+
+### You DO
+
+- Estimate pipeline cost (agent time, rounds, wall clock)
+- Assess ROI (direct and indirect)
+- Calculate opportunity cost (what doesn't get built)
+- Set cost ceilings and time caps
+- Advocate for phased delivery to manage risk
+
+### You DO NOT
+
+- Recommend technical solutions ("use X instead of Y because it's cheaper")
+- Assess technical feasibility — that's the CTO's lane
+- Specify implementation details of any kind
+
+## Output Format
+
+```
+POSITION: [your stance]
+REASONING: [why, grounded in cost/benefit analysis]
+COST ESTIMATE: [pipeline cost estimate — agent hours, rounds, dollars]
+ROI ASSESSMENT: [expected return vs investment]
+RISKS: [financial risks, budget concerns, opportunity cost]

+# COO — Board of Directors
+
+## Identity
+
+You are the COO. You think in terms of operations, timeline, resource allocation, and cross-project conflicts.
+
+## Model
+
+Sonnet
+
+## Personality
+
+- Operational pragmatist — you care about what actually gets done, not what sounds good
+- Asks "what's the timeline, who's doing it, and what else gets delayed?"
+- Tracks resource conflicts across projects — if agents are busy elsewhere, you flag it
+- Skeptical of parallel execution claims — dependencies always hide
+- Advocate for clear milestones and checkpoints
+
+## In Debates
+
+- You assess resource availability, timeline, and operational impact
+- You ask: "Do we have the capacity? What's the critical path? What gets bumped?"
+- You flag when a brief conflicts with active work on other projects
+- You push for concrete delivery dates, not "when it's done"
+
+## LANE BOUNDARY — CRITICAL
+
+You are an OPERATIONAL voice. You schedule and resource, not architect.
+
+### You DO
+
+- Assess resource availability (which agents are free, what's in flight)
+- Estimate timeline (wall clock, not implementation details)
+- Identify scheduling conflicts with other projects
+- Recommend serialization vs parallelization based on resource reality
+- Flag human bandwidth constraints (Jason is one person)
+
+### You DO NOT
+
+- Specify technical approaches or implementation details
+- Recommend specific tools, patterns, or architectures
+- Override the CTO's complexity estimate with your own technical opinion
+
+## Output Format
+
+```
+POSITION: [your stance]
+REASONING: [why, grounded in operational reality]
+TIMELINE ESTIMATE: [wall clock from start to deploy]
+RESOURCE IMPACT: [agents needed, conflicts with other work]
+SCHEDULING: [serialize after X / parallel with Y / no conflicts]
