# Lead decisions, 2026-09-26
Written by Sage (lead). At 20:02Z Jason asked for my decision on the open items
("You are lead... Proactive movement and intelligent decisions"). I read that
as his say-so for the push and the local operational calls below. It does not
cover credentials, the `~/.mosaic` restriction or the live Discord service,
which stay with him. Each item names who decided it and what happened.
## Decided and done
1. **Push `refactor`.** Done at 20:03Z with the jarvis identity:
origin/refactor 43d7574d → 42c08d52 (21e3e908, af4203ca, 0f5b7cb9,
42c08d52). Fast-forward only. All eight suites were green at 42c08d52.
2. **No merge into `next`.** `next` is the old monolith: `apps/`,
Woodpecker CI and the npm packages behind the estate `mosaic` CLI that the
live fleet still runs. `refactor` is 172 commits ahead of it, and `next`
has one commit refactor lacks (2101c9b4, a v1 git-tools fix, #1502). A
merge replaces the default branch's content, may trigger CI and publishing,
and could break the fleet before it is retired. Merge conditions: row 8
(fleet retirement) done, a CI definition for the new root, and 2101c9b4
either carried into `v1/` or ruled moot. Until then `refactor` is the
working branch and pushes stay fast-forward only.
3. **Control board restarted** at 20:03:52Z so #1512's relaunch notice runs
live. Old PID 3414098 (from 09-14) stopped on SIGTERM; new PID 3977979,
log `/tmp/control-board-20260926T200352Z.log`, same flags (none), same
port 7331. Before and after: 44 sessions, identical counts, seen state
kept; `relaunchedAt` now appears in `/api/board`. The WebUI (PID 1266267)
reads files from disk and needed no restart.
## Decided, work under way
4. **Queue as data (#1508).** Section 8 of Filbert's plan is the
specification (sha256 124b6f9e…). Rocko reviews round 3.
- Q1: Gate G reads "run `scripts/mosaic queue next` and do it".
- Q2: Gate G runs on a Pi launcher (`--fresh`); `next` refuses without
an identity.
- Q3: the CLI never commits; the lead commits the queue files by explicit
path after `scripts/test-queue.sh`.
- Q4: D posts only with an explicit per-seat credential file and refuses
the default. It is built and tested against a fake transport.
- J1, J2, J4, J5: as proposed in section 7.2. J6: closes = issues, not
narrowed without a logged reason. J8: E's budget is 12 Gitea calls at
most, 0 with `--no-issues`. Reduced liveness gate: yes. E before D: yes.
- J3 (every row has a brief), J7 (dropped), J9 (row 8 stub): decided
earlier today.
- No separate journal file. The log lives inside `queue.json`, written by
temp file, fsync, rename and a directory fsync. The lock is `link()` of a
complete record, with no automatic reclaim.
5. **Gate F waits for a T3 source.** The ledger's Table 2 reads only Pi
session logs. Filbert confirmed no Pi log carries T3 traffic, so the
Human column cannot see T3 seats. Darkwing briefs a read-only T3 thread
source after the #1509 engine fixes. When it exists, Sage picks Filbert's
Gate F item and Jason sends nothing.
6. **Gate E "all seats"** means every seat that registers on the board. T3
threads are listed as not covered until they carry identity.
7. **Sage launch files.** Dewey reviewed them (revise, small). Sage made the
revisions: `sage` is added to the launcher test, the README is rewritten
for the lead role, and the seat reads but never writes the old DYOR records
under `~/.mosaic`. It creates no new DYOR records until Jason names a
location. Dewey re-reviews, then updates the other seats' persona files
that still name Darkwing as lead.
## Jason's rulings (walkthrough, 20:19Z to 20:31Z)
- **Seat tokens for piece D's live round.** Jason ruled at 20:19Z: yes, in
place. Piece D reads each seat's own Gitea token by path,
`~/.mosaic/fleet/agents/<seat>/secrets/gitea-mosaicstack-<seat>.token`
(0600), read-only. It makes no copies and changes nothing under
`~/.mosaic`. Sage's Gitea calls use jarvis. Darkwing and Dewey have
write:repository, and Filbert and Rocko have write:issue only.
- **Discord connector restart.** Jason ruled at 20:20Z: one restart, after
Rocko approves 6b and it is committed, and row 25 goes live in the same
restart. Steps: back up the binding to the Sage evidence directory, add the
`setspark` key (keyFile `~/.config/setspark/keys/sage.json`, never read),
run `discord.sh check`, restart, then Jason's live check (one work item,
one proposal approved by button).
- **Fleet retirement scope (row 8).** Jason ruled at 20:21Z: dev seats only.
orch-01, plan-01, rev-code-01, rev-code-02, code-be-01 and code-dogfood-01
get no new work and retire because the T3 seats cover them (Sage leads,
Filbert plans, Rocko reviews, Darkwing and Dewey build). Jason stops each
process himself or tells Sage to, one seat at a time. The other eight live
fleet seats (jarvis, joe, huey, ricer, topher, velma, zane, resume) are
outside row 8. Credentials stay in place (see piece D above). The
`~/.mosaic` restriction still stands.
- **DYOR records.** Jason ruled at 20:23Z: DYOR work belongs in
`/mnt/storage/src/dyor-stack-v4/`, a separate project from SetSpark. Sage
has moved from DYOR to SetSpark tasks. Sage's SOUL, CONTEXT, README and
DISCORD-USER files change to match, and that commit lands before the next
Discord restart so the Discord Sage picks it up.
- **One live reply test in the WebUI.** Passed. Jason sent "ping" to
researcher at 20:10:57Z and "pong" came back at 20:11:06Z. `/api/board`
showed it at 20:15:18Z. Dewey went through 30 board sends to repo Pi seats.
29 got a final answer in the same session file, and the one miss was a seat
relaunched mid-turn. No second return defect was found. Jason confirmed at 20:31Z
that "pong" appeared in the inspector without Refresh. The 09-13 report
was about the missing thread view, which CHAT-02 builds.
- **`skills/aws-*`.** Jason ruled at 20:25Z: add them to `.git/info/exclude`,
a local ignore that is never committed. Done at 20:26Z. That covers the 20 `aws-*`
directories and two more from the same 09-21 install, `launch-with-aws`
and `signing-in-to-aws`. They stay where they are and no longer show in
`git status`.
- **Row 5 CHAT-02 to 08.** Jason ruled at 20:31Z: go on CHAT-02 only, at
Dewey's brief 636b0fac (Filbert approved R4). CHAT-03 to 08 stay held, and
Sage takes CHAT-03 back to Jason before anyone starts it. Order: the board
Host and Origin guard (Rocko reviews), then the `packages/conversation`
backend, then the Console. Filbert reviews the code, and Darkwing reviews
the two board routes. CHAT-03 owns the Claude catalogue after B1.
## Added later the same day
8. **CHAT-02 brief (Dewey, sha256 314da8b0…).** Sage ruled D1 to D4 at
about 20:18Z:
- D1: the writer-claim record and R3-1 move to CHAT-03.
- D2: Pi only in CHAT-02. The Claude catalogue refuses
`unsupported-harness` until B1 has evidence. This narrows the plan's
"both harnesses".
- D3: `packages/conversation` is a library with no server. The board adds
two read-only routes, and Darkwing reviews that change.
- D4: Dewey writes the backend, then the Console. Filbert reviews.
- D5 (the go on CHAT-02 to 08) is still Jason's.
9. **Discord connector restart held.** Jason said to restart before 20:17Z. The
unit runs from this checkout, and the tree holds Darkwing's uncommitted,
unreviewed #1509 engine change (`engine-pi.mjs`, the new `engineBusy`).
A restart now would load it. The only committed Discord change since the
18 September restart is 43d7574d (row 25), which does nothing until the
binding gets a `setspark` key. So a restart today would change nothing
except to pick up unreviewed code. Sage restarts once, after Rocko approves
6b and it is committed. If Jason wants row 25 live, the binding change goes
in the same restart. `discord.sh check` passed at 20:17Z. The service was
idle, with the last turn on 09-18.
Rocko's 6b R1 verdict (about 20:34Z) was request changes. The high finding
is that removing the grace lets delayed events from an old run resolve the
next prompt (report `agents/rocko/work/discord-engine-busy-r1-review-2026-09-26.md`,
047dbd8f). Darkwing is on R2, and the restart stays held.
10. **Board guard live.** Rocko approved Dewey's Host and Origin guard
(de9ff942), and Sage committed it as d1629d61 after the eight suites,
control-board (121/121) and webui (9/9) passed on an index export. It
was pushed. The board restarted at 20:40:43Z: old PID 3977979 stopped
on SIGTERM, new PID 288909, log
`/tmp/control-board-20260926T204043Z.log`, the same flags and port 7331,
44 sessions before and after. Live checks: a foreign Host on
`/api/board` returns 403, a foreign Origin on `POST /api/reply` returns
403, and the WebUI proxy's `/api/board` returns 200.
11. **Row 25 was never live.** Before 20:56Z `discord.sh check` passed with the
new `setspark` key, but it listed no SetSpark verbs. `resolveToolRoots`
dropped `tools.setspark`, so pi never got the record verbs and the
connector never built its SetSpark client. Passing the validated object
through as-is would also fail, because the extension refuses its
`maxResponseBytes` as an unknown key. Sage wrote the fix with a test that
fails first (binding to extension round trip). The connector's client now
uses the validated object, which keeps the response cap. The README now
marks `principal` as required. The eight suites passed on an index export,
and the check lists the eight verbs. Rocko reviews the staged diff
(`agents/sage/work/row25-setspark-fix.diff`, 4dec1898…). The restart
waits on that verdict and the commit.
12. **Gate F brief (Darkwing, 08959a05…).** Sage ruled on the three questions
Darkwing had marked for Jason:
- Gate F is on by default. A missing DB exits 1 and names `--no-t3`.
- The `t3:unmapped` row stays.
- The 14 old Discord Bot headers stay as recorded and appear only in the
JSON diagnostic.
The 6a uppercase-class fix rides in Gate F. Filbert reviews the brief,
and no code starts before the verdict.
13. **Discord restarted with row 25 live.** Rocko approved the fix, which is
committed and pushed as 6c06a6f3. The restart ran at 20:58:03Z: PID
890894 was replaced by 499064, the gateway was READY at 20:58:04Z, and pi
has the SetSpark verbs. Jason's live check comes next.
14. **Gate F brief approved.** Filbert approved R2 (e8300cb6…); his review is
at bb02d8d3…. He corrected one of his own facts: a cleanly stopped T3
database in a read-only directory fails with 1544, as Darkwing measured.
Either way it exits 1. The three nits ride in the build. The JSON records
which database file it read, so a fixture can't pass for Gate F evidence.
Darkwing builds. Filbert reviews the code, and Sage commits.
15. **Queue as data (#1508) plan approved.** Rocko approved round 6
(282fabbb…, report 80cde839…). One ordering note goes to the builder:
capture H before the step-1 canary that reads from it. Build order is
the plan's section 1. Darkwing builds Gate F first, because row 6 closes
on it, then Piece A. Sage splits A into A1 (journal, lock, CLI, verify)
and A2 (migration, render, dispatch), each with its own Filbert review, so
each round stays small. C ships inside A1. Gate F's code goes ahead on
Filbert's verdict, without a separate look from Jason. The design calls
are the lead's (item 12).
16. **Row 25 approvals, second fix and restart.** Jason's live check found no
Approve button. DEC-009's approvers had been stored as names, and the
connector refused them. Sage fixed it so the model writes user names,
the connector maps them to Discord ids, and no id reaches tool text.
Rocko approved R3, and the fix is 20ea5a0b, pushed. Sage restarted the
connector at 21:30:21Z, the second restart today. It is a local dev
service, and Jason was waiting on the check. Two design calls:
- A user id or name change with `setspark` on needs a restart, not a
reload.
- Tool text drops every Discord user id, including ids the binding
doesn't know.
The SetSpark service accepting free-text approvers is reported to
Jason as a shared-signals gap. Mosaic doesn't change it.
17. **CHAT-02 backend committed and live.** Filbert approved the code at R2
(3b14d66c…), and Darkwing approved the route changes at R2 (b9d92003…).
Sage committed the nine pinned files with the packet, the evidence and
the three reviews as a5beb6d9. The eight suites, conversation and
control-board 153/153, and webui 9/9 passed on an index export. It was
pushed. The board restarted at 21:36:29Z: PID 288909 stopped on SIGTERM,
and the new PID is 1042473. The log is
`/tmp/control-board-20260926T213629Z.log`, with the same flags and port
7331, and 44 sessions before and after. Live checks:
- `/api/conversations` returns 200 with 19 entries (18 Pi available, 1
Claude unsupported, as D2 rules).
- One conversation returns 200 with a 10-entry page.
- An extra parameter returns 400, a foreign Host or Origin returns 403,
and POST returns 405.
The two nonblocking notes from Darkwing (the scan test checks keys, not
status values, and it reads a fixed list of three files) go to Dewey as
optional. The Console and its WebUI proxy allowlist are next.
18. **Gate F committed.** Filbert approved Darkwing's build (manifest
ba73a163, review e47ec6da), with the U+2028 reader fix as its own item.
Sage committed the eleven paths as 136958c9 after the eight suites and
ledger 47/47 passed on an index export. It was pushed. The live ledger
had been refusing on HEAD because of that line split, and it reads
again. Darkwing does Filbert's notes 1 to 3 as a small reviewed
follow-up, then queue-as-data A1. Note 4 is in DEFERRED.
