The activation-capability probe spawns the whole Node CLI rather than exec'ing a binary. Measured 3.0-3.7s on an idle 4-core VM and 3.55-3.61s on web1, against `node -e 0` at 0.05s. The budget was 2.0s, so the probe timed out on every call on both hosts. The gate is fail-closed, and an expiry is indistinguishable from "no capability", so every fleet seat launch was denied with a version-skew message telling the operator to "upgrade both as one unit" -- advice that cannot fix a timeout. This is why web1 shows roster seats with no live sessions. Raise the budget to 20s, well clear of the measured range, and add MOSAIC_LEASE_VERSION_PROBE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS for slower hosts. Unusable override values fall back to the default rather than removing the bound. Also fix _resolve_probe_command ignoring the environ it is handed: shutil.which was called without path=, so it read the ambient PATH. That made test_returns_none_when_mosaic_is_not_resolvable_on_path pass only because the 2.0s budget expired first -- right answer, wrong reason, and it masked the timeout defect. The suite's runtime drops from 2.0s to 0.002s, which is that accidental timeout leaving. Verified: 18/18 version_coupling_unittest (new tests red against the old gate: 2 failures + 1 error), tsc build clean, test-start-agent-session.sh and test-fleet-units.sh rc=0. invariant_r_unittest fails identically with and without this change (pinned pi 0.84.1 vs installed 0.84.2).
@mosaicstack/mosaic
CLI package for the Mosaic self-hosted AI agent platform.
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.
