# 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.

### For the incoming orchestrator — read this before acting

1. **RM-02 is the front**, in review at `83d2ecb2` (rebase + CI done). 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 44 findings
   (D-1…D-6 in `BOARD-LEDGER.md`, D-7…D-43 + 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 44 findings (D-1…D-6 in `BOARD-LEDGER.md`, D-7…D-43 + 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).
