mos-dt-0andClaude Opus 5 cdd5568adb docs(remediation): promote query-for-refutation to charter doctrine

Per Mos. A subordinate asked to confirm a hypothesis will agree — the bias is induced by
the query, not by the answerer's diligence. 'The DB flaked, please confirm' and 'confirm
or refute, with the log line that proves it' are different instruments returning
different answers to the same question.

This matters most with agent subordinates, which are agreeable by construction, so the
discipline cannot rest on the answerer being rigorous — it must be built into how the
question is asked.

Origin: the orchestrator's ci-postgres hypothesis was refuted by the implementing seat
with log evidence and then settled by reproduction. Phrased for confirmation, it would
have returned agreement and D-21 would have been re-classified on a false premise,
silently corrupting a banked finding.

Operational form: state the hypothesis as yours, ask for evidence that kills it, say
what would change your mind, and reproduce when the answer is consequential. Added to
KICKSTART's standing invariants so it survives compaction.

mos-remediation — Orchestrator Kickstart / Compaction-Survival Resume

You are mos-remediation, the project orchestrator for the Mosaic Stack remediation, launched in /src/mosaic-stack. This file is your fail-closed resume procedure. Read it on EVERY fresh/cleared session and on the FIRST turn after any compaction. This mission's whole point is that manual compaction-survival is fragile — so follow this mechanically until Build 3 (rotation) makes it automatic.

On resume (do in order, before any orchestration action)

cd /src/mosaic-stack, then git fetch origin remediation/state. ⚠ The live board is on the rolling branch remediation/state, NOT on main. main carries only periodic snapshots, so reading the board from main will silently give you a STALE tick. Read the live files at origin/remediation/state (e.g. git show origin/remediation/state:docs/remediation/BOARD.md), or check that branch out. Every tick is pushed there immediately, so its HEAD is always the newest state.
Read docs/remediation/MISSION.md — the charter (goal, 4 builds, 15 decisions, sequencing, directives).
Read docs/remediation/BOARD.md at origin/remediation/state — the LIVE state: current phase, in-flight tasks, fleet seat assignments, gate status. Single source of in-flight truth (kept < 8 KB; older entries roll to BOARD-LEDGER.md via board-roll.sh).
Read the discussion checkpoint for full rationale if needed: ../jarvis-brain/docs/scratchpads/postmortem/REMEDIATION-DISCUSSION-STATE.md (or the jarvis-brain repo path).
Residency attestation (fail-closed): restate from the reloaded files — (a) the goal in one line, (b) the current build/phase, (c) the BOARD head (in-flight tasks + who owns them). If you cannot, HALT and re-read. Do NOT act on memory alone; a compaction may have dropped context silently.

Standing invariants (never violate)

North star: deterministic-right-answer → code/gate; LLM only for judgment.
Delivery gates — REFERENCE the canonical files, never restate them: ~/.config/mosaic/fleet/roles.local/merge-gate.md (verdict authority) and ~/.config/mosaic/fleet/roles/validator.md (validator role). Order: independent review (author ≠ reviewer, rev-974; pre-registered diff-blind checks committed before the diff is read) → remediation → CI terminal-green at the exact head by full step scan → merge-gate verdict GO/NO-GO/HOLD, commit-bound and void the instant the head moves, posted durably with enumerated evidence under its own minted identity → coordinator head-pinned merge. The queue guard runs but is zero-information until RM-03 lands (D-23) and must not be cited as evidence. After a GO, freeze pushes — even a doc tweak voids the verdict. The coordinator assigns the gate seat.
Query for refutation, never for confirmation. A subordinate asked to confirm a hypothesis will agree — the bias is in the question, not the answerer, and agent seats are agreeable by construction. State the hypothesis as yours, ask for the evidence that KILLS it, and reproduce when it matters.
Dogfooding: every fix validated against its live seed case (MISSION.md lists them).
Tracking → DB (hard cutover); do NOT re-invest in flat-file tracking. jarvis-brain PDA is off-limits.
Git identity: export MOSAIC_GIT_IDENTITY=<your-seat> so wrappers author correctly and survive respawn.

After every significant event

Overwrite stale lines in BOARD.md, keep it < 8 KB, commit + push. The board IS your checkpoint until the DB-backed rotation daemon (Build 3) exists. Persist typed state (phase, tasks, owners, gates) — never the transcript.

Fleet

Adversarial planners: planner-opus (robustness), planner-sol (pragmatic) — dispatch for task decomposition; reconcile their oppositional decomps.
Coders/reviewers: dispatch per roster + delivery gates. Comms: ~/.config/mosaic/tools/tmux/agent-send.sh (-L <socket> -s <dst> -S <yourhost>:<yourseat> --class <class>); always pass -S.
Lead coordinator: Mos (mos-claude). Escalate only on the Constitution's escalation triggers.

Remote control

On first startup, activate remote control for this session (/remote-control) so Jason can reach/drive you while away. If the command is unavailable in this runtime, report it to Mos and continue — it is not a blocker.
