Add a capability tier orthogonal to phase. `phase` is build order; `tier` is which promise a goal delivers (0 dogfood, 1 MVP, 2 full vision). - AC-NS-0: a tier-0 exit test that can fail. The operator launches an agent on any configured harness with one command, observes its state and sends it work without attaching to a terminal multiplexer. - `tier` on every goal and success criterion. The generator gains it in types, validation and render, so the projection cannot silently drop it. - NS-10: an adoption is not complete until the mechanism it replaces is removed. - Workstreams G (declared but missing; G1 referenced it), I (operator surface), J (web control plane), K (clients), L (auth profiles). - Goals A5 and I1-I9 seeded at tier 0, dependency ordered. - docs/fleet/north-star.md renamed FLEET-DOCTRINE.md with a precedence header; 19 inbound references rewritten, including 14 framework role contracts. The old name sat one character from NORTH_STAR.md. - docs/TASKS.md, docs/federation/TASKS.md and docs/fleet/TASKS.md carry superseded headers. docs/native-kanban-sot/TASKS.md is corrected instead: it advertised a blocker that was not real. - Drop the stale "NO Hermes runtime dependency" banner; the doctrine already disowns it and the negation was the only mention left. Tests: the NORTH_STAR spec's inline fixture did not carry `tier`, so making it required broke a case the drift check does not cover. Fixture updated. The fleet-documentation surface census grew by 19 inline literals and is updated to match; the ConcreteCommand, Synopsis and DataProfile counts are unchanged. Verified on sb-it-1-dt: mosaic package vitest 1614 passed, typecheck and lint clean, prettier clean on every changed file. Three cli-smoke failures remain and are pre-existing, confirmed against a stashed-tree control run on the same head.
Fleet Configuration Management
This book documents the local roster-v2 desired-state control plane delivered under issue #758. The normative requirements are the FCM section of the repository PRD, not the older fleet-suite or observability planning pages.
Authority boundary
<MOSAIC_HOME>/fleet/roster.yaml is the sole writable desired-state authority for local fleet membership, launch policy, and persisted lifecycle. Generated environment files, systemd enablement, tmux sessions, heartbeat files, and status output are derived or observed. Rebuild projections from the roster; never edit them as desired state.
This control plane is local tmux/systemd only. Remote/SSH entries and connectors are inventory, not reconciliation targets. Arbitrary commands, channels, secret references, gateway catalog convergence, and UI configuration storage are outside this workstream. mos-comms is temporary transport glue, not permanent fleet architecture.
Choose the right workflow
- Need to inspect intent? Read the roster and use mosaic fleet get; see desired versus observed state.
- Need to inspect reality? Use
statusordoctor; useverifyfor a strict non-zero drift/ownership gate. These commands do not repair anything. - Need to change membership or persisted policy? Use generation-guarded
plan,create,update, ordelete; see safe CRUD. - Need a one-time runtime action? Use
start,stop, orrestart. These do not change persisted desired state. - Need convergence? Review apply --dry-run, resolve blockers, then use
applywith the same current generation; see reconcile and recover. - Need v1 migration evidence? Use preview only. Cutover, canary, and rollback remain held for FCM-M4-002.
- Need the gateway-backed agent catalog? That is the separate mosaic agent surface, not local fleet desired state.
