Jason Woltje 4a7fc07ee2 feat(launch): isolate harness homes and record immutable launch provenance
Mosaic wrote into the operator's harness base installs — ~/.claude,
~/.pi/agent, ~/.codex, ~/.config/opencode — for settings, instructions, and a
102-symlink skill farm per harness. Any experiment with hooks or gating
therefore mutated the operator's own tooling, and a broken framework change
could take out the very harness needed to repair it.

Harness home isolation
----------------------
Each runtime now reads config from a dedicated mosaic-owned home via the
harness's own config-dir variable:

  claude    CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR     ~/.config/mosaic/.claude
  pi        PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR   ~/.config/mosaic/.pi     (replaces ~/.pi/agent)
  codex     CODEX_HOME            ~/.config/mosaic/.codex
  opencode  XDG_CONFIG_HOME       ~/.config/mosaic/.opencode

These paths are manifest-UNKNOWN, so rule 3 (#791) resolves them to operator
ownership and a keep-mode upgrade can neither overwrite nor prune them.
A bare `claude` / `pi` keeps its own config AND auth, making it a structural
break-glass rather than one depending on restoring a file under pressure.

opencode is blunter than the rest: it has no dedicated variable and follows XDG,
so isolation also relocates XDG lookups for anything it spawns. Documented in
place.

mosaic-sync-skills now links into those homes and cleans the legacy farms it
previously planted in base installs. Ownership is proven by RESOLUTION, not by
name — only symlinks resolving inside the canonical/local skills dirs are
removed, mirroring the refusal already in commands/skill.js. Verified against a
real install: codex's own .system directory survived while its 102 mosaic links
were removed. Both resolution prefixes are length-checked first; an empty prefix
would make "$resolved" == "$prefix/"* match every absolute path and delete
foreign symlinks.

Immutable launch record
-----------------------
Every launch now appends one record to fleet/run/sessions/events.ndjson before
exec. Mandatory, mechanical, no model involvement.

pi rewrites its own argv to a bare `pi`, so /proc/<pid>/cmdline destroys the
launch evidence — that has already produced a confident wrong diagnosis ("this
agent bypassed the launcher"), disproved only by the parent's argv and only
because the parent had not yet exited. A record written before exec is the only
place this survives.

The path is the #797 Runtime Session Ledger, already operator-classified and
already covered by test-upgrade-manifest-guard.sh, which seeds it and proves a
populated ledger survives keep-mode upgrades — but nothing shipped ever wrote
it. This implements it in the shape that guard already asserts (0600 files under
a 0700 dir).

`mosaic` writes session.launch; launch-runtime.py appends lease.register with
the broker session id and activation capability. They correlate by an explicit
MOSAIC_LAUNCH_ID, never by pid: execRuntime uses spawnSync, so the runtime is a
child with a different pid.

Records normative fragment digests (CONSTITUTION/AGENTS/SOUL/USER/STANDARDS/
TOOLS/RUNTIME) — the same set the broker hashes for promotion, so drift is
mechanically detectable rather than a matter of judgement.

Credential-safe: env is captured as PRESENT NAMES ONLY, and argv values over
256 bytes become a sha256 + length rather than being inlined.

Also fixes CLI_VERSION resolution: '@mosaicstack/mosaic/package.json' is not in
the package exports map and always throws ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED.
resolveTool() uses that same failing specifier, which is why its documented
preference for bundled tools over the deployed ~/.config/mosaic copy has never
once applied — noted in place, not fixed here.

Verified on sb-it-1-dt: isolated homes written and base installs byte-identical
for all four harnesses; 408 legacy symlinks removed with 1 foreign entry
preserved; launch records paired across the spawn boundary. typecheck shows zero
errors in launch.ts (the @mosaicstack/types failures are pre-existing and
reproduce on a pristine origin/main worktree).
