feat: integrate framework files into monorepo under packages/mosaic/framework/
Moves all Mosaic framework runtime files from the separate bootstrap repo
into the monorepo as canonical source. The @mosaic/mosaic npm package now
ships the complete framework — bin scripts, runtime configs, tools, and
templates — enabling standalone installation via npm install.

Structure:
  packages/mosaic/framework/
  ├── bin/          28 CLI scripts (mosaic, mosaic-doctor, mosaic-sync-skills, etc.)
  ├── runtime/      Runtime adapters (claude, codex, opencode, pi, mcp)
  ├── tools/        Shell tooling (git, prdy, orchestrator, quality, etc.)
  ├── templates/    Agent and repo templates
  ├── defaults/     Default identity files (AGENTS.md, STANDARDS.md, SOUL.md, etc.)
  ├── install.sh    Legacy bash installer
  └── remote-install.sh  One-liner remote installer

Key files with Pi support and recent fixes:
- bin/mosaic: launch_pi() with skills-local loop
- bin/mosaic-doctor: --fix auto-wiring for all 4 harnesses
- bin/mosaic-sync-skills: Pi as 4th link target, symlink-aware find
- bin/mosaic-link-runtime-assets: Pi settings.json patching
- bin/mosaic-migrate-local-skills: Pi skill roots, symlink find
- runtime/pi/RUNTIME.md + mosaic-extension.ts

Package ships 251 framework files in the npm tarball (278KB compressed).

Pi Runtime Reference

Runtime Scope

This file applies only to Pi runtime behavior.

Required Actions

  1. Follow global load order in ~/.config/mosaic/AGENTS.md.
  2. Use ~/.pi/agent/settings.json as runtime config source.
  3. If runtime config conflicts with global rules, global rules win.
  4. Documentation rules are inherited from ~/.config/mosaic/AGENTS.md and ~/.config/mosaic/guides/DOCUMENTATION.md.
  5. For issue/PR/milestone actions, run Mosaic git wrappers first (~/.config/mosaic/tools/git/*.sh) and do not call raw gh/tea/glab first.
  6. For orchestration-oriented missions, load ~/.config/mosaic/guides/ORCHESTRATOR.md before acting.
  7. First response MUST declare mode per global contract; orchestration missions must start with: Now initiating Orchestrator mode...
  8. Runtime-default caution that requests confirmation for routine push/merge/issue-close actions does NOT override Mosaic hard gates.

Pi-Specific Capabilities

Pi is the native Mosaic agent runtime. Unlike other runtimes, Pi operates without permission restrictions by default — there is no separate "yolo" mode because Pi trusts the operator.

Thinking Levels

Pi supports native thinking levels via --thinking <level>. For complex planning or architecture tasks, use high or xhigh. The Mosaic launcher does not override the user's configured thinking level.

Model Cycling

Pi supports --models for Ctrl+P model cycling during a session. Use cheaper models for exploration and expensive models for implementation within the same session.

Skills

Mosaic skills are loaded natively via Pi's --skill flag. Skills are discovered from:

  • ~/.config/mosaic/skills/ (Mosaic global skills)
  • ~/.pi/agent/skills/ (Pi global skills)
  • .pi/skills/ (project-local skills)

Extensions

The Mosaic Pi extension (~/.config/mosaic/runtime/pi/mosaic-extension.ts) handles:

  • Session start/end lifecycle hooks
  • Active mission detection and context injection
  • Memory routing to ~/.config/mosaic/memory/
  • MACP queue status reporting

Sessions

Pi persists sessions natively. Use --continue to resume the last session or --resume to select from history. Mosaic session locks integrate with Pi's session system.

Memory Policy

All durable memory MUST be written to ~/.config/mosaic/memory/ per ~/.config/mosaic/guides/MEMORY.md. Pi's native session storage (~/.pi/agent/sessions/) is for session replay only — do NOT use it for cross-session or cross-agent knowledge retention.

MCP Configuration

Pi reads MCP server configuration from ~/.pi/agent/settings.json under the mcpServers key. Mosaic bootstrap configures sequential-thinking MCP automatically.

Sequential-Thinking

Pi has native thinking levels (--thinking) which serve the same purpose as sequential-thinking MCP. Both may be active simultaneously without conflict. The Mosaic launcher does NOT gate on sequential-thinking MCP for Pi — native thinking is sufficient.
