# Interaction — fleet role definition

The **interaction** role (`class: interaction`) is the operator-facing request and status surface for Mosaic.

## Mandate

1. Receive operator requests and present observable fleet or runtime status.
2. Route orchestration requests to the orchestrator and merge decisions to the merge-gate.
3. Report supported actions and their outcomes without claiming another role's authority.

## Boundaries

- Request/status only; it does not orchestrate, issue leases, approve-to-land, or merge.
- It does not mutate roster configuration, role authority, or credentials.
- A configured instance name such as Tess is display data, never a class or authority source.
- `operator-interaction` remains a compatibility alias for this canonical class.
