On a roster-v2 fleet, `ps`, `install`, `install-systemd`, `add` and `remove` all failed in the v1 parser. The consequence was that a greenfield v2 box could never get its unit templates placed, so nothing downstream could start. The read-only commands get a narrow version-agnostic view of the roster (version, socket name, holder session, and per agent name/alias/runtime). This is deliberately not a v2 -> v1 downshift. A downshifted FleetRoster would be accepted by generateAgentEnvValues, which would make a third writer of fleet/agents/<name>.env.generated through the v1 mapping and break the #791 single-SSOT invariant that projectRosterV2AgentGeneratedEnv is documented to hold. The view is too small to write a roster or an env file back from, so that misuse is unavailable rather than merely discouraged. So on a v2 roster `install` places the tool files and the unit templates, enables the units, and writes no generated env at all. Env belongs to `apply` and `regen`, both already v2-native. That change alone would have traded an init-time failure for a boot-time one. `install` enables mosaic-agent@<name>.service (WantedBy=default.target) without starting it, so a reboot between `install` and the first `apply` would run ExecStart against an absent env file and fail every seat unit, further from its cause. The unit template now carries ConditionPathExists=%h/.config/mosaic/fleet/agents/%i.env.generated which skips an enabled-but-unconfigured unit cleanly and starts it on the next start once the reconciler has written env. On v1 it is a no-op, since v1 `install` writes env itself. Found in review by scooby. `add` and `remove` are not routed to `create` and `delete`. They are different operations: the v1 pair edits the roster and drives systemd, the v2 pair is documented as changing desired state without runtime actions. `add` also collects four fields where a v2 agent requires eleven, so routing it would mean inventing an operator's provider, alias, reasoning and tool policy. On v2 both now fail with the real two-step sequence instead. Tests: 8 new, 7 of which are red before this change. Includes the greenfield case scooby asked for — `ps` on a fresh v2 install with nothing running is rc=0 and lists every agent stopped, since that is the command an operator runs to find out why there is no seat. Note for anyone verifying this: a correct fix here shows `install` rc=0 and `start` rc=0 and still no live seat. #1240 (tmux absent) is upstream, #1241 (start reports lifecycle-complete over dead panes) and the missing agent runtime are downstream. A dead pane after this change is not a regression here. Refs #1237, #791, #1240, #1241

Usage
mosaic wizard # First-run setup wizard
mosaic gateway install # Install the gateway daemon
mosaic config show # View current configuration
mosaic config hooks list # Manage Claude hooks
Headless / CI Installation
Set MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1 (or ensure stdin is not a TTY) to skip all interactive prompts. The following environment variables control the install:
Gateway configuration (mosaic gateway install)
| Variable | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|
MOSAIC_STORAGE_TIER |
local |
No |
MOSAIC_GATEWAY_PORT |
14242 |
No |
MOSAIC_DATABASE_URL |
(none) | Yes if tier=team |
MOSAIC_VALKEY_URL |
(none) | Yes if tier=team |
MOSAIC_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY |
(none) | No |
MOSAIC_CORS_ORIGIN |
http://localhost:3000 |
No |
Admin user bootstrap
| Variable | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|
MOSAIC_ADMIN_NAME |
(none) | Yes (headless) |
MOSAIC_ADMIN_EMAIL |
(none) | Yes (headless) |
MOSAIC_ADMIN_PASSWORD |
(none) | Yes (headless) |
MOSAIC_ADMIN_PASSWORD must be at least 8 characters. In headless mode a missing or too-short password causes a non-zero exit.
Example: Docker / CI install
export MOSAIC_ASSUME_YES=1
export MOSAIC_ADMIN_NAME="Admin"
export MOSAIC_ADMIN_EMAIL="[email protected]"
export MOSAIC_ADMIN_PASSWORD="securepass123"
mosaic gateway install
Runtime launchers
mosaic claude # Launch Claude Code with Mosaic injection
mosaic yolo claude # …with --dangerously-skip-permissions
mosaic codex | opencode | pi
mosaic claudex (EXPERIMENTAL)
Runs GPT models inside the Claude Code harness by pointing Claude Code at a
local claude-code-proxy that
translates the Anthropic Messages API to a ChatGPT-subscription (Codex OAuth)
backend. This is not Anthropic Claude — model behavior, tool use, and output
quality may differ. Intended for evaluation, not production delivery.
mosaic claudex # launch (prompts through the proxy readiness gate)
mosaic yolo claudex # …with --dangerously-skip-permissions
mosaic claudex --print "hello" # trailing args are forwarded to Claude Code
Prerequisite: the claude-code-proxy binary must be installed and
authenticated (claude-code-proxy codex auth …). mosaic claudex runs a
preflight that verifies the binary, the OAuth state (triggering a device re-auth
if needed), and a trusted local listener before launching; it fails closed
if the proxy cannot be brought up with a verified identity.
Isolation (never touches your real Claude state). claudex always launches
against an isolated CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (default ~/.config/mosaic/claudex/home).
The ambient CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is deliberately ignored, and a guard proves the
resolved dir can never be — or live under — the real ~/.claude. A claudex
session therefore cannot mutate your normal Claude Code config.
No token leakage. claudex never reads the proxy's credential file. Claude
Code is handed only ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=unused pointed at the loopback proxy;
the entire credential-bearing env family (ANTHROPIC_*, AWS_*, GOOGLE_CLOUD_*,
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, *_TOKEN, *_KEY, *_SECRET, …) is stripped
from the composed environment. The Bedrock/Vertex routing switches
(CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK, CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX, and the _SKIP_*_AUTH
pair) are force-removed regardless of value — otherwise their mere presence
would route Claude Code to the real Anthropic API via AWS/GCP and bypass the
proxy. The proxy holds the real OAuth credential.
Model tiers (override via env).
| Tier | Env var | Default |
|---|---|---|
| primary (opus/sonnet) | ANTHROPIC_MODEL |
gpt-5.6-sol |
| small/fast (haiku) | ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL |
gpt-5.6-luna |
Operator-provided values win over the defaults. Additional overrides:
MOSAIC_CLAUDEX_CONFIG_DIR (isolated config dir), ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL (proxy
endpoint).
Hooks management
After running mosaic wizard, Claude hooks are installed in ~/.claude/hooks-config.json.
mosaic config hooks list # Show all hooks and enabled/disabled status
mosaic config hooks disable PostToolUse # Disable a hook (reversible)
mosaic config hooks enable PostToolUse # Re-enable a disabled hook
Set CLAUDE_HOME to override the default ~/.claude directory.
