framework/install.sh's post-install step runs tools/_scripts/mosaic-link-runtime-assets, which copies settings.json, CLAUDE.md, hooks-config.json, and context7-integration.md into the user-level ~/.claude/ directory (hook wiring per #869/#828). Every install/reseed therefore overwrites the user's own Claude settings file.

Requirement: the installer and updater must not modify user-level .claude files. Runtime settings and hook wiring belong in framework-controlled locations that the runtime loads, with user- and role-level settings layered outside the installer's write set. Role-based settings design is being worked separately; this issue covers stopping the user-level overwrite.

Measured: ~/.claude/settings.json mtime equals the reseed timestamp after a MOSAIC_INSTALL_MODE=keep run; keep mode protects operator files elsewhere but this path is written unconditionally by the linking step.
