veronica f0d2dd9920 docs(W4): stamp kind and status front matter on 104 live documents
Applies the document contract from
docs/plans/2026-08-20_stack-docs-flatten-and-alignment.md section 3, partially:
`kind` and `status` only. `parent` is deliberately held until the flatten in
section 4 lands, so that 127 documents do not have to be re-pointed by hand
when docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml moves to docs/NORTH_STAR.yaml.

Scope, measured on origin/next at 63069149:

  127 live docs   = all *.md under docs/ minus docs/archive/ minus docs/_old_structure/
  104 stamped     here
   19 held        operator judgement (plan section 9), worklist in the same PR
    3 held        the SUPERSEDED TASKS.md stamps, which cite the moving path
    1 untouched   docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md, already stamped in W1

Kinds applied: 54 guide, 34 record, 9 spec, 6 tracking, 1 projection.
Every row carries a confidence and a one-line rationale in the worklist.

Two collisions with the existing state, both flagged rather than resolved:

1. docs/README.md:150-160 already documents a front-matter convention
   (title/type/audience/status/source_of_truth) with its own allowed values.
   It is applied to 4 of 127 files. Its `status` vocabulary is
   current|draft|deprecated|historical; the new contract's is active|superseded-by.
   The key collides. This commit lets the new contract win and rewrites
   `status: current` to `status: active` on those 4 files, keeping their other
   legacy keys untouched. No code reads any of them: `git grep source_of_truth`
   outside docs/ returns nothing. docs/README.md still prescribes the old
   convention and is an operator row, so it is not edited here.

2. Two of the plan's 20 operator rows are YAML files, not markdown
   (docs/fleet/examples/roster-v2.yaml, docs/openapi-tess.yaml), and the
   contract's front-matter form has no defined meaning for a .yaml document.
   That gap also applies to docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml, the source of truth
   itself. Raised in the worklist.

A third row from the plan, docs/fleet/north-star.md, no longer exists: W1
renamed it to docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md.

Verification: 104/104 parse with the expected kind and status in front matter;
the check was shown to reject a wrong kind before it was trusted. The diff
removes 4 lines total, all of them `status: current`.

#1146 — CI Queue Guard Purpose Semantics

Objective

Make the pre-push queue guard wait for queued/running CI without requiring the previous remote head to have successful CI. Preserve fail-closed merge readiness.

Scope

  • packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/ci-queue-wait.sh
  • focused queue-guard regression tests
  • design and scratchpad documentation
  • local framework activation required before the fixed guard can authorize this branch's push

Plan

  1. Freeze purpose-specific behavior in failing process-level tests.
  2. Implement the smallest state-dispatch change.
  3. Run focused shell tests and repository quality gates.
  4. Obtain independent review and remediate findings.
  5. Install the reviewed framework source locally, run the mandatory pre-push queue guard, and push.
  6. Open a PR against next, verify terminal-green CI, and close #1146 after merge.

Budget

  • ASSUMPTION: no explicit token cap was provided.
  • Working estimate: 12K tokens.
  • Scope reduction: change only final-state dispatch and focused tests; do not redesign provider adapters.

Progress

  • Confirmed source and installed guards are byte-identical.
  • Reproduced terminal-failure blocking --purpose push.
  • Root cause: final-state dispatch requires terminal success for both push and merge.
  • Design approved: push is queue-clear on valid non-pending states; merge remains fail-closed.

Tests

  • RED confirmed before implementation: the focused tri-state harness reported push terminal-failure and no-status as ASSERTED_NOT_READY.
  • GREEN: bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-tristate.sh — all outcome classes passed.
  • GREEN: bash packages/mosaic/framework/tools/git/test-ci-queue-wait-github-checks.sh — 6/6 purpose-aware cases passed.
  • GREEN: bash -n passed for the changed guard and both focused harnesses.
  • GREEN: pnpm preflight, pnpm typecheck, and pnpm lint passed.
  • pnpm test ran 45/46 workspace test tasks successfully, but the pre-existing Gateway cross-user-isolation.test.ts failed during cleanup with PostgreSQL error 28P01 (local mosaic password authentication failure). The changed Mosaic framework test task passed within that run.
  • GREEN: focused queue and merge shell regressions passed after the wrapper change.
  • GREEN: isolated Mosaic Vitest run passed (81 files, 1,514 tests).
  • The normal parallel Mosaic Vitest run has an environment-sensitive pre-existing failure in install-ordering-guard.spec.ts: the real activation probe changes between two calls while other suites run concurrently. Running the same spec alone and the complete Vitest suite with one fork passes.
  • The framework shell suite's pre-existing version_coupling_unittest.py also fails locally because the newly installed mosaic is now on PATH despite the test injecting a nonexistent PATH; CI's clean image does not have this global CLI. All changed queue/merge harnesses pass.
  • GREEN: pnpm format:check passed.
  • Note: an additional ad hoc Prettier command was not applicable to shell files because Prettier has no shell parser; the repository-wide format check passed using its configured file globs.

Review

  • Independent Codex review of the six-file diff: approved, confidence 0.84, zero blockers/should-fix/suggestions.
  • Review confirmed push queue-clear behavior, merge fail-closed behavior, and --require-status coverage.

Risks and Blockers

  • Canonical framework activation completed with MOSAIC_SYNC_ONLY=1 MOSAIC_INSTALL_MODE=keep MOSAIC_SKIP_SKILLS_SYNC=1 bash packages/mosaic/framework/install.sh.
  • Source and installed queue guards are byte-identical (cmp and SHA-256 parity passed).
  • The installed pre-push guard now passes for the not-yet-remote feature branch with queue clear.
  • The required merge wrapper then exposed a second bootstrap defect: pr-merge.sh hardcoded main, contradicting the documented PR-based next integration lane. Tracked as #1149 and fixed in the same delivery branch with a regression fixture targeting next.
  • Activation emitted the existing manifest-safety warning that six fleet/run/*.hb* operator files were touched then restored; no data loss was observed, but this remains a pre-existing framework-manifest defect to report separately.
  • The first activation attempt timed out after 600 seconds while copying the 113K-file operator snapshot; the bounded 1,800-second retry completed successfully. It left a partial durable snapshot from the interrupted attempt in the normal backup directory; the completed snapshot is the newer pre-update-20260810T195317Z entry.
  • Full baseline test completion is blocked by the unrelated local PostgreSQL authentication/cleanup failure described above; CI has its own disposable PostgreSQL service.
  • Existing .mosaic/orchestrator/* working-tree changes are unrelated and must remain unstaged.
