fix(tmux): split the rule pair without piping into head

CI 2604 red on scripts/pipefail-early-exit.test.mjs. Two lines I added in the previous commit tripped its scan of send-message.sh: [ "$(printf '%s\n' "$rule_lines" | grep -c .)" -eq 2 ] || return 1 top=$(printf '%s\n' "$rule_lines" | head -1) The second is a real violation of the rule the guard enforces: `head` exits after its count, the producer takes SIGPIPE, and under `set -euo pipefail` the caller aborts with rc=141 and no output. That is the same failure mode test-mosaic-worktree-large-repo.sh exists to pin. The first is the guard reading `-eq` as an early-exit grep flag (`-[A-Za-z]*q` matches `-eq`), so `grep ... | ... -eq 2` looks like `grep -q` on one line. A false positive, but the fix removes the shape either way. Both go away by splitting the captured line numbers with parameter expansion instead of a second pass through the pipe. With one rule captured, both halves resolve to the same value and the new `[ "$top" != "$bottom" ]` test rejects it, which is the answer that case wanted anyway. Verified: node --test scripts/pipefail-early-exit.test.mjs green on the load-bearing assertion; test-send-message-verdict.sh still PASS=5 FAIL=0; test-send-message-socket.sh rc=0; agent-send.test.sh PASS=19 FAIL=0.
fix(tmux): locate the REPL input box by shape, not by a Claude-only glyph

-# seat-logins.sh — project seat credentials into tea's login config.
-#
-# Issue: mosaicstack/stack#1356 (tea login resolution fails open).
-#
-# WHY THIS EXISTS. tea 0.14.0 has no --token on its operations; it can only use a
-# login already stored in ~/.config/tea/config.yml. So the wrappers cannot read the
-# seat secrets dir on the tea path. The secrets dir stays authoritative and this
-# script projects it into tea's config, which is a DERIVED CACHE: regenerate it,
-# never hand-edit it. Same shape as the config-registry projector, same reason —
-# a third-party tool that cannot read our store has to be fed.
-#
-# Canonical login name is "<instance>-<seat>", which is what the identity ladder in
-# detect-platform.sh computes from the seat name. A login the ladder cannot compute
-# is a fail-open surface, so an ad-hoc name is a defect, not a style.
-#
-# COLLISIONS. tea refuses to store one token under two names ("token already been
-# used, delete login 'X' first"). A hand-made alias holding a seat's token there-
-# fore BLOCKS its canonical name. Detected up front by hashing, so a dry run shows
-# it; --adopt resolves it by deleting the alias and re-minting canonically. Same
-# token, same access, only the label changes.
-#
-# Tokens are never printed, never logged, and never passed on a visible command
-# line beyond tea's own --token, which is unavoidable with this client. tea's
-# stderr is echoed on failure with any token-shaped string redacted.
-#
-# Usage:
-#   seat-logins.sh                 # dry run, all seats  (default: changes nothing)
-#   seat-logins.sh --apply         # mint/refresh all seats

-### The tea path: login resolution (#1356)
-
-The wrappers that go through `tea` (`issue-list.sh`, `pr-list.sh`, `pr-view.sh`,
-`lane-brief.sh`, and the tea half of `issue-close.sh`) cannot use a token directly: tea
-0.14 only acts as a **login** already stored in `~/.config/tea/config.yml`. Those wrappers
-therefore resolve a login name, not a token, and the resolution follows the same identity
-as above:
-
-1. Resolve the identity (`MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`, then `git config mosaic.gitIdentity`).
-2. Derive the Gitea instance from the repo host (`git.mosaicstack.dev` → `mosaicstack`,
-   `git.uscllc.com` → `usc`), or from the owner when `--repo owner/name` is given.
-3. The canonical login is `<instance>-<identity>`. If tea has it, that login acts.
-4. If the identity is set but that login is missing, the wrapper **fails closed**: nonzero
-   exit, empty stdout, and a stderr line naming the login it wanted and the source of the
-   identity. When `tea` itself is not installed the message says so instead, since "no such
-   login" would send the reader to create a login they cannot create.
-5. With **no identity set**, the old host-default behaviour is unchanged (first login
-   configured for that host, else the API fallback).
-
-Step 4 replaced a fallback that picked any login configured for the host, which meant a
-seat with no login of its own silently acted as whichever seat had configured one. That
-satisfied the author≠reviewer gate on paper while one actor held both names.
-
-**Provisioning the logins.** `tools/fleet/seat-logins.sh` projects each seat's token from
-its secrets store into tea's config under the canonical name. tea's config is a derived
-cache of the secrets store: regenerate it with the script, never hand-edit it. Run it with
-`--seat <seat>` for one seat (all seats when omitted), dry-run by default, `--apply` to write. A hand-made
-alias holding a seat's token blocks its canonical name (tea refuses one token under two
-names); `--adopt` renames it.

-# validate-repo-json.sh — declaration validator for T51 repo structure declarations.
-#
-# Spec of record: docs/plans/2026-08-23_repo-structure-declaration.md @ 1896adc1
-# (R3). Implements the spec's validation surface: schema v1/v2 (§1.2), host:/
-# path grammar with canonical segment normalization — empty/./.. rejected
-# BEFORE resolution — and tilde rejection (§1.2a), mirror path component
-# validation (§3.1), cross-field rules (§5.2), remote normalization (§5.3).
-#
-# PROVENANCE (T51 WP5c vendoring): ported verbatim from the mosaic-brain tree —
-# tools/repo-structure-decl/validate-repo-json.sh @ brain main merge 515bcbab
-# (PR 28, wave-1 R9 PASS, 101-arm suite green). This file is now the framework
-# home per spec §5.1 ("shipped in the framework package"); the brain copy is the
-# development origin. Re-sync rule: changes land here via reviewed PR and are
-# back-ported to the brain tree (or the brain copy retires) — never fork silently.
-# Validator version at port: 1.1.0+t51spec-r3+t51p2rw1 (R2-R8 rework included).
-# No operator literal appears in this file; the host root is read from
-# MOSAIC_HOST_ROOT configuration only.
-#
-# Unset-root semantics (spec §1.2a, fail-closed; T51P2R1 F1): v2 declarations
-# always consume a path (canonical_clone is required), so in --mode managed an
-# unset OR EMPTY MOSAIC_HOST_ROOT is a VALIDATION_ERROR for every v2 file —
-# not only tool-managed. In --mode display it warns and omits root-dependent
-# resolution; grammar checks still run.
-#
-# Error contract (T51P2R1 F3): every malformed input — bad UTF-8, non-RFC JSON
-# constants (NaN/Infinity), wrong-typed enums, anything unexpected — yields
-# exactly one stable VALIDATION_ERROR line and exit 1. No traceback ever
-# escapes. Branch names are validated by delegating to `git check-ref-format
-# --branch` (F2), translated into this contract.
-#
-# Usage:
-#   validate-repo-json.sh <repo.json> [--mode managed|display] [--require-v2]
-#   validate-repo-json.sh --mirror-path <host> <owner> <repo>   # §3.1 component check
-#   validate-repo-json.sh --normalize-remote <url>              # §5.3, prints normalized
-#   validate-repo-json.sh --version
-#
-# Output: OK (exit 0) | VALIDATION_ERROR <key>: <reason> (exit 1) | warnings on stderr.
