jason.woltjeandClaude Opus 5.5 fe5c68fa03 feat(harness): meta-harness and PM launching off T3 (#1523, row 41)
Slice 1 S6. packages/harness runs a role session under the pi or claude
adapter behind a tool gate, and packages/seat holds the session and its
process. The bus host gains a launch socket: `mosaic bus start
<business> --pm <harness>:<model>` runs the PM without a window, the PM
launches role sessions through the broker within the business file's
`launch.max`, and every launch, refusal and end is a launch-log line and
a broker event. `mosaic talk`, `mosaic launches off|on|list` and
`mosaic stop <run>` are new CLI verbs. packages/bus gains the IPC ops
identity, authorize, refuse, endLaunch and credentialStatus, plus
Broker.endLaunch (decision 77); no socket verb, event kind or schema
changed. The session environment is an allowlist, and the runner exits
before claiming if a founder credential reaches it.

Filbert built it (agents/filbert/work/s6). Darkwing reviewed on #1523:
round 1 changes (26991/26995), round 2 changes (27004/27010), round 3
changes (27012/27032), round 4 approve (27033/27034) on manifest
08a78972, 42 paths.

Sage's gate on 64b0f9f1 (12:32Z), sequential and teed: node suites
business 60, bus 74, cli 83, control-board 124, conversation 182,
discord 178, harness 56, ledger 78, mosaic 69, queue 149, runs 41,
seat 27, tasks 51, webui 39, every one 0 failed; test-auth 15,
test-conductor 17, test-config 24, test-discord 66,
test-extension-package 18, test-foundation 44, test-queue 27,
test-release 14, test-task 98 and 26 without Docker, all 0 failed.
64b0f9f1..ee7f909b touches none of the 42 paths. It landed after the
Q14 hold ended at 2026-10-11T17:19:23.857Z. The recorded PM-to-coder
run on a scratch data root is still owed before row 41 moves to done.

// The S6 launcher, inside the trusted bus host: it starts managed role
// sessions (packages/seat/src/session.mjs) and serves the launch socket the
// PM's `launch` tool calls. One launch at a time.
//
// A session asks over `<dataRoot>/bus-host/launch.sock` (0600) with one line,
// `{"cap": "<its capability>", "instance": "<role instance>"}`, and gets one
// line back: `{"ok": true, "result": {run, instance, harness, model}}` or
// `{"ok": false, "error": "<code>"}`. The host checks, in order:
//
// 1. identity: the capability names a role of this business
// 2. the business file's launch.instances lists the instance
// (instance-not-listed)
// 3. the instance isn't already running (instance-running)
// 4. it resolves, has a role contract (no-role-contract) and a supported
// harness and model (unsupported-harness)
// 5. its model is in exactly one launch.max family (unknown-model-family)
// 6. that family has room; every running session counts, the PM's too
// (capacity-full)
// 7. the broker authorizes role.launch for the caller (its own codes:
// launch-revoked, gated, ...)
//
// Steps 2 to 6 refuse through the broker's refuse(), so every refusal is an
// action.refused event; step 7's refusals the broker records itself. Then
// the host builds the bundle, spawns the runner, binds the run's process
// identity (the outer unshare pid) and writes the new capability on the
// runner's stdin. When the runner exits, the host ends the launch.
//
// `bus start <business> --pm` launches launch.by the same way with
// launchedBy = the business's human and no caller capability.
