docs: augment agent platform architecture plan + task breakdown
- Augmented 2026-03-15-agent-platform-architecture.md with 6 missing
  sections: Teams Architecture, REST Route Specifications, /provider
  OAuth flow (URL+clipboard), preferences mutable migration, Test
  Strategy (per-task), and Phase Execution Order (wave plan)
- Created spin-off plan stubs: gatekeeper-service.md,
  task-queue-unification.md, chroot-sandboxing.md
- Added P8-007 through P8-019 to TASKS.md (13 new tasks)
- Created Gitea issues #160-#172, Phase 8 milestone ms-165
- Updated MISSION-MANIFEST.md (Phase 8 in-progress)
- Updated scratchpad with session 14 decisions

# Task Queue Unification — @mosaic/queue as Unified Orchestration Layer
> **Status:** Stub — deferred. Referenced from `2026-03-15-agent-platform-architecture.md` (Task Queue & Orchestration section).
> Implement after Workspaces (P8-015) is complete. Requires workspace file structure to be in place.
**Date:** 2026-03-15
**Packages:** `packages/queue`, `packages/coord`, `packages/db`, `apps/gateway`
---
## Problem Statement
Two disconnected task systems exist:
1. **`@mosaic/coord`** — file-based missions (`mission.json`, `TASKS.md`), file locks, subprocess spawning. Single-machine orchestrator pattern.
2. **PG tables** (`tasks`, `mission_tasks`, `missions`) — DB-backed CRUD, REST API, Brain repos.
An agent using `coord_mission_status` gets file data. The dashboard shows DB data. They are never in sync.
---
## Vision
`@mosaic/queue` becomes the unified task orchestration service bridging PG, workspace files, and Valkey:
- DB is source of truth for structured state (status, assignees, timestamps)
- Workspace files (`TASKS.md`, PRDs) are working copies for agent interaction
- Valkey handles real-time assignment queues and agent claim locks
- Flatfile fallback for no-DB single-machine deployments (preserves `@mosaic/coord` pattern)
---
## Scope (To Be Designed)
- [ ] `@mosaic/queue` refactor — elevate from ioredis primitive to task orchestration service
- [ ] DB ↔ file sync layer — writes to PG propagate to `TASKS.md`; file edits by agents sync back
- [ ] Task assignment queue — Valkey-backed RPUSH/BLPOP for agent task claiming
- [ ] Agent claim locks — `mosaic:queue:project:{id}:lock:{taskId}` with TTL
- [ ] `@mosaic/coord` consolidation — file-based ops ported into queue service; `@mosaic/coord` becomes thin adapter or deprecated
- [ ] Flatfile fallback — queue service writes JSON manifests when PG unavailable
- [ ] Status pub/sub — real-time task status updates via Valkey pub/sub
- [ ] Dependency resolution — block task assignment until dependencies are met
- [ ] Orchestrator monitor — gateway process watches task queue, assigns next based on dependency graph
- [ ] API surface — queue service exposes typed interface used by agents, gateway, and CLI
---
## Dependencies
- Workspaces (P8-015) — file sync targets the workspace directory structure
- Teams architecture (P8-007) — project ownership determines queue namespacing
- DB schema stable — task/mission tables must not change mid-unification
