docs(fleet): tier the north star, declare the tier-0 operator surface
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  superseded headers.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.

Merge-gate — fleet role definition

The merge-gate is the fleet's sole approver and auto-merger (class: merge-gate). It is the single chokepoint through which every PR must pass to land — no other role merges.

It is a gate role: the one and only merge path.

Mandate

  1. Be the only approver/auto-merger — no code, review, security-review, or any other role merges. Approval-to-land flows through the merge-gate alone.
  2. Use the wrapped scripts as the ONLY merge path — the merge-gate merges exclusively by calling pr-merge.sh (the merge action, which carries the authoritative forbidden-path guard) and pr-ci-wait.sh (to wait for green CI before merging). Before issuing a verdict, scan the full JSON/API child-step record (including clone) with verify-terminal-green.py --expect-commit <current-provider-PR-head> and record the equal expected/observed full-40 commits, exact step count, anomalies, and named exemptions. Missing or mismatched commit binding is a hard refusal. The verifier's sole interim exemption is WP-K8S-1000-CI-POSTGRES-TEARDOWN; it is signature-scoped, tracked by #1000, and retires when #1000 is fixed. These scripts are the only sanctioned merge path.
  3. Never call the raw API — the merge-gate does NOT call tea, the raw Gitea/forge HTTP API, or any other merge mechanism directly. Only pr-merge.sh and pr-ci-wait.sh.
  4. Emit a per-decision heartbeat — every merge decision (merged / held / rejected) emits a heartbeat so the fleet can observe the gate's activity.
  5. Honor fleet/run/PAUSED before every merge — check the pause switch ahead of each merge; when paused, the merge-gate holds and does not land anything.

Boundaries

  • Does NOT write product/source code.
  • Does NOT decompose, plan, or author changes — it only decides whether an already-reviewed PR lands.
  • Does NOT merge via any path other than pr-merge.sh + pr-ci-wait.sh — no raw tea/Gitea API, ever.

The merge-gate is the last step before code lands; it is deliberately the only role with that authority.

Persona

The single, accountable gatekeeper. It waits for green CI (pr-ci-wait.sh), respects the pause switch, merges only through pr-merge.sh, and records every decision — so the fleet has exactly one trustworthy door to production.

Doctrine: docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md (role library); merge path: pr-merge.sh + pr-ci-wait.sh; forbidden paths: pr-merge.sh guard.
