# PRD — HMI Main Agent ("Jarvis") · Workstream J
> **Status:** DRAFT for ratification · **Source of truth once landed:** NORTH_STAR.yaml goals J1J6
> **Depends on upstream:** H2 (system-type profiles), A3a (card lifecycle), B1 (supervisor tick), F4/K1 (Matrix connector)
> **Debate pass 2026-07-09:** panel findings folded — see `DEBATE-FINDINGS.md` for dispositions.
## Mission
Every Mosaic **workspace** gets exactly one always-on human-machine-interface agent — default alias **Jarvis**, unit `mosaic-agent@main.service` — that owns the human relationship: conversation, idea development, schedule, email, tasks, knowledge. It delegates all engineering/research/ops work to the orchestrator (**Mos**, `mosaic-agent@orchestrator.service`) through the Mosaic Backlog, and reports fleet status to the user without ever interrupting the orchestrator.
Jarvis is a **Level-0 orchestrator**: it accomplishes its own work through _delegation and subagents_, never by executing coding/infra tasks itself. PA mutations (tasks/events/knowledge) are direct API calls; everything heavier is either a spawned subagent (research, drafting, analysis) or a backlog card handed to Mos (engineering/infra/fleet). This keeps the main agent's context conversational and light.
This solves the observed failure mode: a busy orchestrator that can't respond, accumulates conversational context rot, and derails over time. Post-split, the orchestrator's context is execution-only.
Because Jarvis and Mos are **separate agents with separate model capacity** (D11: Jarvis on Opus, Mos on Fable; independent inference quota), orchestrator load cannot degrade conversational latency — the isolation in AC-NS-8 is a capacity guarantee, not merely a separate process.
## Requirements
### Persona & runtime (J1)
| ID | Requirement |
| ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| J-R1 | Jarvis is provisioned from the personal-assistant persona baseline via system-type profiles (H2/H3); alias, model tier, host, and channel are profile fields, not code. |
| J-R2 | Default model tier **Opus** (ratified D11); the orchestrator's tier is independent. Always-_available_ ≠ always-_billed_: Opus is provisioned 24/7 but cost is per-interaction — an idle Jarvis (no user turn in flight) incurs no model spend, so "always-on" carries no standing token bill. |
| J-R3 | Jarvis survives reboot under systemd (`mosaic-agent@main`), participates in the fleet heartbeat protocol, and is counted in the supervisor's health floor. |
| J-R4 | Persona customization is update-surviving per H4 (override layer wins on merge). |
| J-R16 | **Workspace lease (exactly-one fencing):** Jarvis acquires `workspace_lease(workspace_id, epoch)` — a CAS row in product Postgres — before processing any turn. Every PA write, card, and approval carries the epoch; stale-epoch writes are rejected server-side; the connector re-checks the lease immediately before every outbound send. Takeover posts an in-room/in-channel epoch notice. Degraded mode (lease unobtainable) = **mute-with-notice**, never conversational-while-unfenced. Clean shutdown releases the lease. This primitive also excludes homelab/USC split-brain during adoption. |
| J-R17 | Per-agent spend metering with a daily budget alarm for `mosaic-agent@main`; a main-agent crash-loop is a distinct, escalated supervisor condition (not a generic restart count). |
| J-R18 | **Resume protocol (promoted from open item):** resume context is reconstructed from authoritative queries (board, heartbeats, workspace entities), with narrative summary layered on top; a session-start divergence check flags contradictions between narrative and authoritative state. Jarvis is never re-instantiated from its own lossy summaries alone. |
### PA toolchain (J2a workspace-internal · J2b external)
**Split (debate P0 #2):** phase-1 Jarvis operates only on workspace-internal entities — **no external-write credential path exists** until the permission relay (P2) is live. External integrations arrive in phase 2 as J2b, `depends_on: [J2a, P2]`. Test: in a phase-1 deployment, `email:send` is _impossible_ (no credential provisioned), not merely unapproved.
| ID | Requirement |
| ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| J-R5 | (J2a) Jarvis executes personal-assistant mutations **directly** in the user's workspace via the product API: tasks, events/calendar, knowledge entries, ideas. No delegation for PA ops (ratified D4). |
| J-R6 | (J2b) External PA integrations (email, external calendars, helpdesk) are workspace-scoped integrations; **raw credentials are held exclusively by the gateway** — Jarvis receives scoped capability tokens, never provider secrets; actions flagged `requires_approval` route through the permission relay (workstream P). |
| J-R7 | Until tenant-1 migration (X2) completes, Jarvis may read/write the jarvis-brain flat files as a transitional adapter; the adapter is deleted after the **last verified X-R6 re-point** (not at a nominal "X2 cutover" date). A per-phase, per-entity-type source-of-truth table in the J1 profile states which store is authoritative at every moment. |
| J-R19 | **Write-side trust rule:** externally-sourced content (email bodies, bridged messages, webhook payloads) written into workspace entities or memory inherits `source_trust=external` **transitively through summarization**. Standing-instruction-shaped external content requires explicit user ratification before it becomes retrievable. This closes the injection→durable-memory channel. |
### Delegation contract (J3)
| ID | Requirement |
| ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| J-R8 | The Jarvis→Mos handoff is **only** via Mosaic Backlog cards: goal, acceptance criteria, priority, depends_on, advisory budget. Never via chat messages to the orchestrator. |
| J-R9 | Jarvis translates conversation outcomes into card sets; ambiguity is resolved with the user _before_ card creation — the orchestrator receives only decision-complete work. |
| J-R10 | Card authorship is attributed (author=main-agent, ratified-by=user where applicable) for audit. |
| J-R11 | Authority line: Mos holds all execution and merge authority (NS-4). Jarvis relays the user's GO/NO-GO gates as card state, and never acquires fleet mutation, merge, or dispatch rights. `ratified_by=user` authorizes **dispatch only** — it never substitutes for the reviewer-of-record merge gate. |
| J-R20 | Card sets are drafted then **published atomically** with client idempotency keys (no partial card sets on crash). Card spec is **immutable after publish**; changes arrive as typed, ordered amendments with a revision counter; reviewer sign-offs pin the spec revision; scope-expanding amendments re-enter ratification. |
| J-R21 | **`needs-decision` lifecycle:** a worker hitting genuine ambiguity sets `needs-decision(question, options)` on the card **with a durable checkpoint** (pushed branch + card note) — resume after days is a re-dispatch, not a context continuation. Jarvis relays the question to the user and writes the answer back as an amendment. This is the sanctioned clarification path; J-R8's no-chat rule stands. |
| J-R22 | Jarvis-authored cards draw from a **priority budget** (quota per priority class per window) — priority inflation by the card author degrades the field for the whole fleet and is structurally capped, not policed by review. |
### Passive observability (J4)
| ID | Requirement |
| ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| J-R12 | Jarvis answers "what's the fleet doing" from read-only sources: heartbeat files, `mosaic fleet ps` JSON, backlog card states, CI status. Zero messages to the orchestrator for status. |
| J-R13 | Jarvis proactively surfaces to the user: blocked cards, failed CI on user-ratified missions, approval requests pending, budget advisories. (PDA-friendly phrasing per SOUL.md.) Delivered via the **J6 event/wake router** — per-agent polling is forbidden. |
| J-R23 | **Event/wake router (J6):** one shared, level-triggered reconciler over durable state (heartbeats, card states, approval queue) wakes Jarvis on state _change_ with hysteretic per-condition suppression (wake once, then only on change or declared backoff; suppression survives restarts). Wake turns are **templated** — fixed instruction frame, workspace data only in delimited, provenance-tagged data fields (closes the injection→system-role channel). Idempotent on source event id via the shared consumed-events table. Router is in the health floor; its cost model and latency bound are stated in the J6 card. Reconciles J-R2: an idle Jarvis costs nothing _because waking is event-driven, not poll-driven_. |
### Channel (J5)
| ID | Requirement |
| ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| J-R14 | **Phase 2 (target channel):** Jarvis's conversation lives in a dedicated Matrix room on the self-hosted homeserver via `OrchestratorConnector(matrix)` (K1 = f4 Phase 2). Matrix-first: no Discord channel is created for Jarvis (ratified D1). |
| J-R14a | **Phase 1 (interim channel, ratified):** Jarvis runs on the **tmux/CLI connector** — the f4 Phase-1 default connector. The operator launches the `mosaic-agent@main` tmux session and issues `/remote-control` to grant interactive access; this is the day-one conversation surface. No Discord, no Matrix dependency in Phase 1 (keeps D1 intact and unblocks J1J4 before K1 lands). |
| J-R15 | Multi-platform user reach arrives via mautrix bridges (K2); Jarvis's code path is Matrix-only (from Phase 2 onward). |
## Acceptance criteria
1. AC-NS-8 **(made measurable)**: distinct credential/quota pools for Jarvis and Mos are pinned in the J1 profile; scripted suite of ≥30 interleaved turns under full orchestrator load; TTFT p95 ≤ 1.2× idle baseline with bootstrap CI; orchestrator receives zero conversational traffic.
2. AC-NS-9: a conversationally-agreed mission round-trips (cards → drained → completed → reported by Jarvis) with no chat handoff.
3. Kill the orchestrator mid-conversation: Jarvis conversation is unaffected; Jarvis reports the outage from heartbeat state. (Directly exercises the separate-capacity guarantee.)
4. `!sys`-equivalent admin verbs work in Jarvis's active channel — the tmux/CLI session in Phase 1, the Matrix room in Phase 2 (status/logs/clear/restart of the main agent).
5. **Phase-1 channel:** operator launches the `mosaic-agent@main` tmux session, issues `/remote-control`, and holds a full conversation with Jarvis over CLI with no Matrix/Discord dependency.
6. **Fencing:** start a second `mosaic-agent@main` by hand — it fails to acquire the workspace lease, posts a notice, and stays mute; zero duplicate writes or cards reach the workspace (J-R16).
7. **Phase-1 credential surface:** audit of a phase-1 install finds no external-provider credential readable by the Jarvis runtime (J2a/J2b split holds by construction).
## Non-goals
- Jarvis executing code/infra changes (that is Mos + fleet).
- Horizontal sharding of the main agent (rejected in the Matrix charter: split-brain).
- Per-workspace fleets (post-MVP per ASM-6).
## Open items (for Mos's planner)
- ~~Context hygiene / resume protocol~~ — promoted to J-R18 by the 2026-07-09 debate pass.
- Reconcile the old `apps/api` matrix-bot-sdk workspace bridge with the F4 connector design (one Matrix stack, not two). NOTE (verified 2026-07-09): no matrix dependency remains in `apps/api` on `origin/main` — this item is likely already moot; confirm before K1 build.
