rev-974 NO-GO at 83d2ecb2. A4/A5/A6 confirmed and three further blockers found, two of them outside my
registered set. Each is a silent-defeat path of the registry itself: the activation seam inerts the
history audit (seam=HEAD gives 0 prospective commits and no failures — and HEAD's parent and the
introduction commit also pass, so forbidding equality with HEAD does not close it); a misspelled
outputPattern silently reduces an assertion to exit-code-only because the closed schema is not
recursive; two provider records sharing pipeline number 7 certify two different commits; and the D-38
and D-40 criteria are absent, with blocker 4 a live instance of the very D-38 clause that is missing.
The headline: all four passed CI, passed the canonical gate:verify, and passed 38/38 focused tests.
Greens discharged nothing. My own AC set was incomplete too — A3 corrects the prospective range to
eight commits, not the seven I wrote; I omitted the seam commit itself.
Mos ruled ALL FOUR in this PR, no trim, and sizing does not help: a registry that ships with a known
way to be silently defeated IS the inert gate it exists to detect. There is no core registry that is
integrity-complete without these — they are not hardening on top of the deliverable, they are the
deliverable. Theme: the registry's own checks must not be silently defeatable. Each fix carries a
red-first must-fail control proving the specific defeat is now caught, and that control set IS the
D-38/D-40 coverage work rather than being additive to it.
Blocker 1's fix keeps the value and replaces the mechanism: derive the seam from non-author-controlled
history (parent of the first first-parent commit introducing gates/gates.manifest.json) rather than
asserting it in an author-editable field, plus must-fail controls for HEAD, HEAD's parent, and the
introduction commit. If the work balloons past reviewability the only acceptable split is by
integrity-complete stage, never by deferring a blocker.
Method note banked as a positive: I could not reproduce "full verifier exit 0", traced my first attempt
to my own instrumentation artifact (json.dump reformatting the manifest), and stated the divergence
rather than wielding non-reproduction as a refutation. The vacuity itself reproduced and blocker 3 was
confirmed by construction. Non-reproduction is not refutation. Open thread: why my gate:verify exits 1
on checkout-preflight with outcome 42.

# mos-remediation — LIVE BOARD (keep < 8 KB)
|
||
|
||
**Phase:** EXECUTING — RM-03 at owner-merge; RM-61 **MERGED**; **RM-02 keystone is the front**.
|
||
**Updated:** 2026-08-01 — seam crossed; successor seat resumed, attested from the files, and is driving.
|
||
⚠ That was a **MANUAL pane respawn** (prior seat ~803k tokens): it validates the checkpoint+rehydration
|
||
**design**, NOT a lifecycle **mechanism** — P-LIFECYCLE rotation does not exist yet (**D-41 / RM-62**).
|
||
|
||
## Head
|
||
|
||
- Charter + 15 decisions + 4-build plan: `MISSION.md`. Backlog + all findings: `TASKS.md`.
|
||
- Planning DONE (58 tasks, P0–P5). **DECISION-1/2/3 all RULED by Mos 2026-07-31** (`TASKS.md` §5) —
|
||
nothing is waiting on a decision. D-2's availability _target_ is Jason-pending and non-blocking.
|
||
- **Executing, not planning.** RM-01 is MERGED; three lanes are live (see In-flight).
|
||
- Orchestrator seat `mos-remediation` LIVE, owns the mission, resumed across the rotation seam
|
||
2026-08-01 and re-attested to Mos from the files. Residency attestation: PASS.
|
||
|
||
## In-flight
|
||
|
||
| Task | Owner | State |
|
||
| ------------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| RM-01 checkout | — | **MERGED** `f58b3699` (#1027) |
|
||
| RM-03 queue guard | **Jason** | **GO** @ `78ec47cd` (cmt 20392) — HELD FOR OWNER MERGE. Head unmoved; GO commit-bound, VOID if it moves — **do not push #1032** |
|
||
| RM-02 registry ★key | f10-coder | **NO-GO @ `83d2ecb2` — FOUR silent-defeat paths (D-44).** A4/A5/A6 confirmed. ALL FOUR in this PR, **no trim** (Mos): a registry with a known silent defeat IS the inert gate. Remediating, red-first |
|
||
| RM-61 CI exemption | — | ✅ **MERGED** `f4fd5967` (#1033). #1034 closed; **#1000 stays OPEN** (retirement trigger). Exemption is on `main` |
|
||
| RM-59 / RM-60 | Jason (infra) | tracked deps; RM-60 option **B** |
|
||
| #1023 queue attempt | Jason | SUPERSEDED-PENDING-JASON — live REQUEST_CHANGES, do **not** merge |
|
||
|
||
### For the incoming orchestrator — read this before acting
|
||
|
||
1. **RM-02 is the front** — NO-GO at `83d2ecb2`, remediating four silent-defeat paths (**D-44**).
|
||
RM-03 waits on Jason; RM-61 MERGED. ⚠ **Re-derive any board claim from the provider before
|
||
load-bearing use (D-43).**
|
||
2. **`docs/remediation/TASKS.md` is authoritative**, not the newest voice in a chat. It holds 45 findings
|
||
(D-1…D-6 in `BOARD-LEDGER.md`, D-7…D-44 + D-38c in TASKS.md), every ruling with its rationale, and the
|
||
requirements each finding placed on RM-02/RM-34/RM-50/RM-55.
|
||
3. **`MISSION.md` carries five first-class principles**, all earned by live failures — observe the
|
||
property not the proxy · pre-registration prevents retrofitting and nothing else · never ship an
|
||
integrity claim dressed as a property · when a property cannot exist at its layer, bound it and track
|
||
the real guarantee · query for refutation, never for confirmation · redundant observation on
|
||
evidence-bearing steps.
|
||
4. **Seat identity:** `export MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=<seat>` is stripped by a context reset (**D-34**) —
|
||
every dispatch/rehydration brief must re-export it, or the seat cannot use its credentials.
|
||
5. **Scan CI from `-f json`, never default text** — text mode omits `clone` (**D-33**). State counts.
|
||
6. **The queue guard is zero-information until RM-03 merges** (**D-23**) — never cite its green.
|
||
7. **The bounded CI re-roll used on RM-02 was a one-time stopgap, NOT policy.** A per-PR free re-roll is
|
||
D-21 normalisation. Do not repeat it; RM-61 is the fix.
|
||
|
||
## Delivery gates — REFERENCE, do not restate
|
||
|
||
Canonical: `~/.config/mosaic/fleet/roles.local/merge-gate.md` (verdict authority) +
|
||
`~/.config/mosaic/fleet/roles/validator.md`. Order and the freeze/zero-information rules: `MISSION.md`
|
||
and `KICKSTART.md`. **Read them there** — restating the gate from memory is how the merge-gate step
|
||
went missing from mission setup twice, once inside the correction for it (**D-26**).
|
||
|
||
## Fleet seats
|
||
|
||
- mos-remediation — project orchestrator (Claude, /src/mosaic-stack, socket `mosaic-fleet`) — ACTIVE
|
||
- planner-opus — adversarial planner (robustness), Opus 5, socket `default` — DELIVERED, idle
|
||
- planner-sol — adversarial planner (pragmatic), gpt-5.6-sol, socket `default` — DELIVERED, idle
|
||
- rev-974 — mosaicstack reviewer identity (id 16, write:repository) — idle, on call
|
||
- Mos (mos-claude) — lead coordinator, socket `default` — relay path to Jason
|
||
|
||
## Gate status
|
||
|
||
- Freeze: LIFTED for this workstream only.
|
||
- Git identity: orchestrator runs `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=mos-dt-0` INTERIM. Mos ruled gate-16 HOLDS (author≠reviewer is what
|
||
gate-16 protects; rev-974 reviews, mos-dt-0 never self-reviews). Dedicated identity TRACKED, Mos provisions.
|
||
- Capability is **per-path** (D-11b → **superseded in part by D-13/D-15**): a token file is **necessary,
|
||
not sufficient**. Three layers — token file (raw-API), `tea` login (tea paths), **repository permission**
|
||
(writes). Before dispatch, assert `permissions.push == true` **as that seat**, not token existence and
|
||
not a 200 on a read. Mos owns provisioning; escalate missing pairs.
|
||
- Seat identity (D-11a): token identity AND `git config user.name`/`user.email` must BOTH be set and
|
||
agree. Exporting `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY` alone does NOT fix commit authorship.
|
||
- ⚠ **LIVE HAZARD (D-37) — one shared `.git/config` re-identifies EVERY worktree at once.** Every seat,
|
||
including `rev-974`'s review worktree, currently authors as **`coder-mos1`**; `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY`
|
||
does **not** override it. **STANDING ORDER: commit with explicit
|
||
`git -c user.name=<seat> -c user.email=<seat>@…`, and NOBODY rewrites the shared config mid-flight.**
|
||
Real fix authorised, Mos owns it, sequenced at a quiet seam. **#1024 implicated.** Detail: D-37.
|
||
- Standing worker-brief doctrine (mandatory in EVERY brief): re-export `MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY` (**D-34**);
|
||
commit early/WIP (**D-31**); don't weaken a RED test to pass; if a check is unrunnable SAY SO, never
|
||
substitute; `agent-send -f` never `-m`; artifacts off shared `/tmp`; scan CI from `-f json` (**D-33**);
|
||
**relay observations into an open review, NEVER your own conclusion on an open check (D-39)**; the
|
||
**author never adjudicates their own PR's blocker status** — surface evidence, prepare the fix, hold.
|
||
- Remote control: native `/remote-control` NOT wired in this runtime. Path is **Mos-relay**
|
||
(Jason ↔ mos-claude via Discord ↔ mos-remediation via agent-send). Not a blocker.
|
||
|
||
## Decisions log — full record in [`TASKS.md`](./TASKS.md)
|
||
|
||
All 45 findings (D-1…D-6 in `BOARD-LEDGER.md`, D-7…D-44 + D-38c in `TASKS.md`) and every ruling with
|
||
its rationale live there. **Not duplicated here.** The history of _why_ this board must not restate —
|
||
six stale copies across two seams — is rolled verbatim into [`BOARD-LEDGER.md`](./BOARD-LEDGER.md).
