TESS-MIG-001 — Cutover Procedure

This procedure is evidence-bound. It does not authorize a production cutover until the M5 qualification gate records the required validation.

Confirm the gateway has the explicitly registered runtime.hermes adapter (apps/gateway/src/agent/agent.module.ts) and provider reachability evidence (apps/gateway/src/agent/hermes-runtime-reachability.e2e.test.ts).
Query the normalized runtime capability surface, not a Hermes API directly. Confirm the session capabilities required for the operation are advertised.
Query the transitional matrix through RuntimeProviderService.transitionalCapabilityMatrix (apps/gateway/src/agent/runtime-provider-registry.service.ts). Kanban, skills, memory, tools, and cron must remain unsupported; stop rather than route those operations through Hermes.
Route new memory activity through the Mosaic operator-memory plugin path; there is no landed Hermes memory import.
Use MosCoordinationService for orchestration handoff. Tess does not take Mos authority.
Record the qualification evidence and only then update an external deployment/channel binding through its separately authorized operational process.

No claim here authorizes bulk transcript copying, data-schema migration, or enabling an unsupported transitional capability.
