# mos-remediation — LIVE BOARD (keep < 8 KB)

**Phase:** EXECUTING — RM-02 FROZEN at `9b4d4beb`, CI green, review in flight; RM-03 implementing.
**Updated:** 2026-07-31 (mos-remediation orchestrator; seat active on `mosaic-fleet`).

## Head

- Mission charter + 15 decisions + 4-build plan: PERSISTED (`docs/remediation/MISSION.md`).
- HOLD lifted for this workstream (Jason 2026-07-31). Nothing implemented yet — planning first.
- Orchestrator seat `mos-remediation` is LIVE and owns the mission. Residency attestation: PASS.
- **TASK-0 DONE** — checkout repaired, all three gates green HONESTLY (no `--no-verify`), branch pushed.
- **TASK-1 DONE** — both planners delivered independently on clean context; reconciled into `TASKS.md`
  (58 tasks across P0–P5, 7 convergences, 7 adjudicated disagreements, 3 escalated decisions).
- **NEXT ACTION IS NOT MINE:** DECISION-1/2/3 (`TASKS.md` §5) must be ruled before P0 dispatch.
  RM-01 is dispatchable immediately regardless — it depends on nothing and blocks everything.

## In-flight

| Task                            | Owner         | State                                                                       |
| ------------------------------- | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| RM-01 reproducible checkout     | —             | **MERGED** `f58b3699` (#1027)                                               |
| RM-02 gate registry ★keystone   | rev-974       | **FROZEN** @ `9b4d4beb`; CI #2182 SUCCESS 8/8 functional; review in flight  |
| RM-03 queue guard               | coder-mos1    | implementing; CANNOT_ASSERT ruled **B**; build to READY then HOLD for Jason |
| RM-59 D-19 residual risk        | —             | blocked on RM-12/21/25                                                      |
| RM-60 / #1031 CI trust boundary | Jason (infra) | option **B**; A does not fix the ordering defect                            |
| #1023 queue-guard attempt       | Jason         | SUPERSEDED-PENDING-JASON — live REQUEST_CHANGES; do **not** merge           |

**RM-02 head-triple verified (twice, independently — orchestrator + f10-coder):** local = origin =
PR #1030 = pipeline #2182 = `9b4d4beb0e0a…`. `Closes #1029` present. Full step scan, not a
tests-complete inference. `ci-postgres` FAIL read as the D-21 teardown artifact (test log shows
PostgreSQL accepting connections; test step OK). Queue guard **not** offered as evidence.

## Delivery gates — DOCTRINE CHANGE 2026-08-01

**The gate definition was incomplete from mission setup: the merge-gate verdict step was missing.**
Root cause (**D-26**): the gates were **restated from memory** into `MISSION.md`/`KICKSTART.md` instead of
**referenced**, and the omission propagated into every worker brief issued since. It then recurred _inside
the correction_ — which dropped five details including a security precondition and cited a file that does
not exist.

**Fix is render-not-restate, mechanically.** `MISSION.md` and `KICKSTART.md` now **reference**
`~/.config/mosaic/fleet/roles.local/merge-gate.md` and `~/.config/mosaic/fleet/roles/validator.md` and
state only the gate **order**:

> independent review (author ≠ reviewer) → remediation → **CI terminal-green at the exact head, full step
> scan** → **merge-gate verdict `GO`/`NO-GO`/`HOLD`** (commit-bound; **VOID on head move**; posted durably
> with enumerated evidence under its own minted identity) → **coordinator head-pinned merge**

- **After a `GO`, pushes freeze** — a doc tweak voids the verdict. Gate-ready is a **freeze point**.
- The coordinator assigns the gate seat; the orchestrator owns getting a PR _gate-ready_.
- **Queue guard is ZERO-INFORMATION until RM-03 lands** (D-23) — record it as
  `queue-guard: ZERO-INFORMATION (inert, D-23, owner RM-03)`. _A mandated field must not become a
  manufactured one._
- Gate seat identity: `gitea-mosaicstack-merge-gate` minted least-privilege, verified `push=False` —
  it structurally cannot merge.

## 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

- Delivery gates active: author≠reviewer, diff-blind pre-registered checks, CI-green, merged-PR completion.
- Freeze: LIFTED for this workstream only.
- Git identity: `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 check (D-11b): before dispatching seat X to provider Y, verify
  `~/.config/mosaic/secrets/gitea-tokens/gitea-<Y>-<X>.token` exists. Token-file set = authoritative
  capability registry. Mos owns provisioning; escalate missing pairs to him.
- 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.
- Standing worker-brief doctrine (accreted, mandatory in every brief): don't weaken a RED test to make
  it pass; if a check is unrunnable as written SAY SO, never silently substitute; `agent-send -f` never
  `-m`; heavy artifacts off shared `/tmp`.
- 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.

## Sequencing (from MISSION.md)

1. Spine + choke-point service (MACP wiring @ mosaic_orchestrator.py::run_single_task) + PG/Redis
   ⚠ **CONTESTED — see DECISION-1.** Both planners independently reject this wire-in point: that
   controller is `"enabled": false` and references a dispatcher that does not exist here. Charter text
   left UNCHANGED pending Mos/Jason ruling; do not treat it as settled.
2. Rotation daemon (finish Mission Control Plane, reuse packages/coord)
3. Comms service (envelope→service→PG/Redis→adapters)
4. Hygiene + conformance harness
   Cross-cutting retirements: flat-file tracking, 3 MACP islands, silent MOSAIC BYPASS.

## Dogfood evidence — live failure classes, not hypotheticals

> Newest first. Oldest entries roll to `BOARD-LEDGER.md` via `board-roll.sh` when this file
> exceeds its 8 KB cap. Keystone detail is duplicated in `TASKS.md` §1a, so rolling loses nothing.

## Decisions log

- 2026-07-31 — Mission set up by Mos post-postmortem (15/15 decided). Dogfood posture active.
- 2026-07-31 — Mos: stale `.mosaic/orchestrator/mission.json` is RESIDUE of the disabled Python
  orchestrator rail that this plan RETIRES. Do NOT invest in it; do NOT build on that rail. The 0/0
  milestone banner is cosmetic. (Supersedes any plan to repair it.)
- 2026-07-31 — Mos: planners must be dispatched with GUARANTEED clean context, not requested-clean.
  Prior default-socket planner sessions predate this mission; dirty context is the indicted hygiene.
- 2026-07-31 — mos-remediation: worker briefs forbid all git ops and restrict each worker to a single
  named output file, so two planners can share one checkout without a branch race (M2-era incident doctrine).
