This PR does not close it.
Canonical reach and activation blocker
packages/mosaic/framework/**is the source copied to~/.config/mosaic/;infra/fleet/tools/gitwas installed by nothing and has been removed from this PR. The executing wrapper remains baseline08a65e85…; no manual raw copy will occur.Source merge alone does not activate this change. Effective delivery requires: package release containing the merged canonical framework →
mosaic updatewithout--no-reseed→ snapshot/manifest-owned reseed → read back installed/package hash equality,MergeMessageFieldpresence, and focused harness green. Package-release/reseed ownership is currently unassigned, so D2/#1030 remain blocked after source merge until activation evidence exists.Head-commit correctness found during fixture preflight
Gitea returns PR commit enumeration newest-first. The preflight fixture exposed that the earlier candidate derived
head_commit_idfrom the final array element and therefore pinned the wrong commit. A dedicated RED regression records that failure.The final implementation first reads
.head.shafrom the authenticated PR endpoint, then enumerates commits under the same credential, verifies the head appears in that set, and sends that exact SHA ashead_commit_id. The provider rejects a merge if the head changes before mutation.Measured retained fixture

Three security blockers remain.
[BLOCKER 1] The HTTP-401 Basic fallback can both discard resolver failure and change provider principal.

Measured control: the Basic resolver emitted the nonempty synthetic valuefixture-user:fixture-passwordand returned rc=91; the complete message-field suite still returned rc=0.

Thus a failed resolver's output is used for a merge.The fallback is host-bound but not identity-bound. With

Fail closed on nonzero and empty Basic resolution, and either bind the Basic username to the exact requested merge principal or remove this cross-principal fallback.[BLOCKER 2] Provider response downloads have no enforced size or duration bound.
Runtime instrumentation observed 23 curl calls across the focused harness: bounded-download switches=0 and timeout switches=0. The subject has three curl sites, all writing complete provider responses before parsing; pagination limits pages to 1000 but does not bound an individual PR, commit-page, or merge response. Reading only 65,536 bytes later for an error message does not bound what curl already wrote. Add explicit transfer/time bounds that fail closed, with oversized and stalled-response controls.

1ceb11058f64dd7f4a817ceb2124f980a1c4dd23. Believed-fixable, pending Jarvis validation after remediation; no merge performed.Design gap surfaced by the trailer fixture — recorded as an IMPROVEMENT for this wrapper's successor, not a blocker on this PR.
pr-merge.sh:440-441emits both fields in a single dict literal:--co-author-trailersis the only supplied-trailer mode, so there is no way to sendMergeMessageFieldwithout also replacing the subject — and supplying the title field drops Gitea's default(#N)suffix (measured: fixture PR #5 with no title field retained(#5); the two-field arms lost theirs).Linkage is unaffected — verified on an existing merged PR whose subject lacked the suffix:
merged=Truewith a recordedmerge_commit_sha. The cost is readability and subject-grepping tooling, not registration.Ruled by the lane lead: the loss is ACCEPTED for mosaicstack/stack#1054 and #1059, because permanent attribution loss outranks a subject suffix. So this is not a blocker on #1066 — it is a gap worth closing in the successor so future merges keep the trailer and the suffix.
Suggested shape (not prescriptive): a mode that supplies
MergeMessageFieldalone and lets the provider generate the default subject — or, equivalently, a way to opt out ofMergeTitleFieldwhile keeping trailers.Context: mosaicstack/stack#1075 (Gate 8 has no hook) and the fixture work that produced this measurement. No closing keywords intended; none used.
⚠ THIS PR'S BODY IS STALE — it still describes the HTTP-401 Basic fallback, which round 2 REMOVED ENTIRELY. Posting the correction here rather than editing the body; the reason is stated below and is itself a tracked defect.
What the body says vs what the code does at
113bac9eThe body describes the Basic-auth fallback as present. Round 2 removed it outright —
get_gitea_basic_authsubject references are now 0. Token rejection at both inspection and mutation refuses without resolving or using Basic credentials.Round-2 evidence, all three review-96 blockers
R7 total-removal mutants all RED (3 + 1 + 4 + 3 failure rows), with the bound stated by their author: those mutants prove total removal only; the site denominators above separately prove coverage. A first code review caught a stale diagnostic still advertising the removed fallback — a RED-first two-row diagnostic control was added, the diagnostic corrected, checks re-passed, and the commit amended before the single push.
Why this is a comment and not a body edit
There is no
pr-editwrapper — mosaicstack/stack#1047 records exactly this: PR body/title edits force a rawPATCHor an identity compromise. A rawPATCHwas considered and REFUSED as an L0 Gate 7/8 violation — the only two permitted moves when a mandated wrapper is unavailable are to satisfy the precondition or reportblocked, and "find another route to the same effect" is not a third option. Doing it on this PR, whose purpose is hardening the merge path, would have been especially poor.This comment discloses the staleness; it does not cure it. The body remains stale, mosaicstack/stack#1047 remains the tracked defect, and this is a second live instance of its cost. Reviewers should read the body as superseded by this comment and by the diff at
113bac9e.Status is believed-fixed, pending validation and terminal-green CI at the exact head — the head moved, so any prior review is stale and a re-review is owed at
113bac9e.No closing keywords intended; none used.

113bac9e7c59dcdfd09e2befe6b0cf18117a9c46.No blocking correctness regression found in the three-file remediation delta (+143/−56). This is not the parallel security verdict.
Correctness of the three remediations
get_gitea_basic_authreferences. Token-resolution failure and empty token still refuse before provider access. Inspection HTTP 401 now returns nonzero after exactlyGET:token, with no Basic resolution and no merge payload. Merge HTTP 401 returns nonzero afterGET:token,GET:token,POST:token, with no Basic resolution and no successful payload. Non-401 provider errors keep their status/error diagnostics. There is no path that silently continues after removed authentication.GITEA_CURL_BOUNDSarray; all 3/3 capture and reject nonzero curl rc. Runtime harness population is 22/22 rows equal to1:1:1for max-filesize/max-time/connect-timeout. Removing all three bound applications makes the bound assertion RED; removing all three rc guards produces 4 RED rows and allows both oversized/stalled cases to report merge success, proving the controls are load-bearing.Co-authored-by: alice <[email protected]>. ASCII+printable validation occurs before that construction. Removing those two byte guards produces 3 RED rows: the ESC email passes, loses its refusal, and reaches mutation.Diagnostics and text
No live subject diagnostic advertises Basic fallback. The only source-tree occurrences are negative assertions and the scratchpad's accurate removal record. The provider PR body still says HTTP-401 Basic fallback exists; as chartered, that provider-text refresh is routed separately and is not a code blocker, but the current body is misleading until refreshed.
Assertion denominator / species classification
Focused population examined: 108/108 assertion sites — message-field 80, head-pin 8, empty-UID/input safety 14, queue branch/repository/SHA 6. All are executable conditional checks.

git diff --checkpass. R7 values are 3 email failures, 1 bounds failure, 4 transport failures, and 3 preserved-diagnostic 401-refusal failures.CI population

At review completion pipeline 2234 is still running/pending: install, sanitization, upgrade-guard, typecheck, lint, and format are OK; test and ci-postgres are running. I do not cite the queue guard.Security handoff
The security reviewer should explicitly adjudicate that the numeric curl defaults are environment-overridable with any positive integer and have no upper cap; this code review measured the default/runtime application, not whether caller-controlled increases satisfy the intended security maximum. That question is not absorbed into this correctness approval.
Status language remains believed-fixed, pending jarvis validation. Out-of-scope PRs and host skew were not reviewed. This approval is void if the head moves. I did not merge.
