feat: monorepo consolidation — forge pipeline, MACP protocol, framework plugin, profiles/guides/skills
Work packages completed:
- WP1: packages/forge — pipeline runner, stage adapter, board tasks, brief classifier,
  persona loader with project-level overrides. 89 tests, 95.62% coverage.
- WP2: packages/macp — credential resolver, gate runner, event emitter, protocol types.
  65 tests, 96.24% coverage. Full Python-to-TS port preserving all behavior.
- WP3: plugins/mosaic-framework — OC rails injection plugin (before_agent_start +
  subagent_spawning hooks for Mosaic contract enforcement).
- WP4: profiles/ (domains, tech-stacks, workflows), guides/ (17 docs),
  skills/ (5 universal skills), forge pipeline assets (48 markdown files).

Board deliberation: docs/reviews/consolidation-board-memo.md
Brief: briefs/monorepo-consolidation.md

Consolidates mosaic/stack (forge, MACP, bootstrap framework) into mosaic/mosaic-stack.
154 new tests total. Zero Python — all TypeScript/ESM.

Memory and Retention Rules

Primary Memory Layer: OpenBrain

OpenBrain is the canonical shared memory for all Mosaic agents across all harnesses and sessions.

Use the capture MCP tool (or REST POST /v1/thoughts) to store:

  • Discovered gotchas and workarounds
  • Architectural decisions and rationale
  • Project state and context for handoffs
  • Anything a future agent should know

Use search or recent at session start to load prior context before acting.

This is not optional. An agent that uses local file-based memory instead of OpenBrain is a broken agent — its knowledge is invisible to every other agent on the platform.

Hard Rules

  1. Agent learnings MUST go to OpenBrain — not to any file-based memory location.
  2. You MUST NOT write to runtime-native memory silos (they are write-blocked by hook).
  3. Active execution state belongs in project docs/ — not in memory files.
  4. ~/.config/mosaic/memory/ is for mosaic framework technical notes only, not project knowledge.

Runtime-Native Memory Silos (WRITE-BLOCKED)

These locations are blocked by PreToolUse hooks. Attempting to write there fails at the tool level.

Runtime Blocked silo Use instead
Claude Code ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/*.md OpenBrain capture
Codex Runtime session memory OpenBrain capture
OpenCode Runtime session memory OpenBrain capture

MEMORY.md files may only contain behavioral guardrails that must be injected at load-path — not knowledge.

Project Continuity Files (MANDATORY)

File Purpose Location
docs/PRD.md or docs/PRD.json Source of requirements Project docs/
docs/TASKS.md Task tracking, milestones, issues, status Project docs/
docs/scratchpads/<task>.md Task-specific working memory Project docs/scratchpads/
AGENTS.md Project-local patterns and conventions Project root

How the Block Works

~/.config/mosaic/tools/qa/prevent-memory-write.sh is registered as a PreToolUse hook in ~/.claude/settings.json. It intercepts Write/Edit/MultiEdit calls and rejects any targeting ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/*.md before the tool executes. Exit code 2 blocks the call and the agent sees a message directing it to OpenBrain instead.
