Two spawn-side blockers found building the live PoC roster.
FIX 1 — model_hint not consumed: start-agent-session.sh built 'mosaic yolo
$RUNTIME' with no --model, so pi workers ignored the roster's model. Now
generateAgentEnv emits MOSAIC_AGENT_MODEL=<hint> and the launcher appends
${MOSAIC_AGENT_MODEL:+--model $MOSAIC_AGENT_MODEL} → workers run on e.g.
openai-codex/gpt-5.5:high.
FIX 2 — socket default trap: an ABSENT roster socket silently became
mosaic-factory in THREE places (parseRosterText fallback; the
mosaic-agent@.service Environment= default + ExecStop :-mosaic-factory;
start-agent-session :-mosaic-factory). The live PoC runs on the DEFAULT tmux
socket (socket_name absent). Now absent ⇒ '' ⇒ the literal default socket (no
-L) consistently across spawn, the systemd unit, fleet ps/watch observe, and
the onboarding cheat-sheet:
- socketArgs(name) → name ? ['-L', name] : []; replaces all ~15 -L sites in
fleet.ts. parseRosterText fallback '' (was DEFAULT_SOCKET_NAME).
- shellEnvValue('') now emits a BARE 'VAR=' (not ''), so a socket-less .env can
never yield a literal socket named "''" under systemd EnvironmentFile.
- start-agent-session.sh _tmux wrapper passes -L only when a socket is set;
mosaic-agent@.service drops the socket default + uses a conditional ExecStop.
CONTAINMENT: all 6 shipped presets set socket_name: mosaic-factory explicitly,
so they are unaffected — only socket-less rosters (the PoC) get default-socket
behavior. DEFAULT_SOCKET_NAME exported as a constant for explicit isolation.
Verified: 158 fleet + 201 fleet-adjacent tests green (socketArgs none/named,
model_hint→env, explicit-socket renders -L, socket-less bare env); shell bash -n
+ end-to-end sim (socket-less→no -L, model→--model); tsc/eslint/prettier/
sanitize clean.
