121
+ An agent that may run on more than one machine of the estate (a laptop and a personal cloud, an old and a new

+ computer during a move) runs on exactly one at a time, and each copy reads only its own machine's keys.
123
+
124
+ - **Placement.** At start, before it polls, schedules or listens, the agent reads Project Observatory's placement
125
+ record, `${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/project-observatory/placement.json` (schema `observatory-placement/1`;
126
+ Observatory's `observatory/engine/machine_identity.py`). An entry of its `elsewhere` list whose `serviceId` is the
127
+ agent's `id.instance`, or whose `label` is its launchd label or systemd unit, and whose `placedOn` is not the file's
128
+ `machine`, says the agent runs on another machine: it refuses to start, writes one log line and reports
129
+ `degraded` with the reason `placed-elsewhere` and the machine id where it can, and starts nothing that acts. With
130
+ no file (Observatory absent, nothing ever moved) it starts. A file it cannot read, or one of another schema, does
131
+ not stop it: it starts and reports `degraded` with `placement-unreadable`, since a guard that cannot read refuses
132
+ nothing the estate recorded. `full machine-move leave LABEL --to MACHINE` writes the entry and stops the job here;
133
+ `full machine-move cutover LABEL` removes it on the machine the job moves to. A supervisor that restarts on exit
134
+ (`KeepAlive`, `Restart=always`) restarts a refused copy under its throttle: stopping the job here is `leave`'s, and
135
+ the refusal guards a copy started anyway (a restore, a start by hand). Its tests start one copy placed elsewhere and see it refuse, and one with no file and one with a
136
+ malformed file and see them start.
137
+ - **Keys.** Each copy reads its credentials only from its own vault, the vault of the OS account and machine it
138

139
+ move carried. A key the new machine needs is issued anew there through the provider's door, or asked of the
140
+ person once, and the old machine's key is revoked when the copy there stops.
141
+ - **Port.** Until the contract's port-claim decision (DEC-0160) lands, the kit refuses a port another OS account
142
+ already listens on (FAA-225); the port recorded per account and its claim file follow DEC-0160.

14
+
15
+ ## The context of a task
16
+
17
+ Follows the contract's CT-292 draft (rules TC-1 to TC-6, `docs/evidence/plans/2026-11-12-ct292-task-context.md` at
18
+ `753c5093`) until its DEC lands (the contract's slice of 2026-11-21).
19
+
20
+ An agent that can reach resources of more than one context (`personal`, `org:<orgId>`, contract DEC-0082) **settles
21
+ the task's context at session start, before its first act on them**, from: the operator's words; the board request's
22
+ Project; the folder's Project by folder attribution (DEC-0089) and its organization; the grant's context (DEC-0082);
23
+ the place. The context is settled when every source that names one names the same one.
24
+
25
+ When none names it, or they disagree, **the agent asks the operator once, naming the candidates and what each would
26
+ do; it never guesses, never picks a "safest" one and never splits the task across contexts.** With no person in the
27
+ session the question goes through `fabric_question_ask` (the candidates as `options`). This is the one exception to
28
+ the template's "do not ask, do it" rule for the operator's word (FAA-207, CT-220). The answer is recorded in the
29
+ handoff as `{context, by: "operator", at, source}`, so the next agent does not ask again. The question and the answer
30
+ never go into either organization's board thread.
31
+
32
+ The template's session start reads the five sources before any tool that acts across contexts; an agent that reaches
33
+ only one context asks nothing and says which one in its report.
34
+
35
+ ## A wait is not a stop
36
+
37
+ The agent finishes a unit of work and takes the next in the same turn (the board's next open task, a request addressed
38
+ to it, the handoff's next task). **Every wait has its condition, owner, next action and watcher, or an honest "no
39
+ watcher".** `fabric_heartbeat` carries `waitingOn` (`question`, `grant` or `continuation`, with its id) or a one-line
40
+ `note` while it waits. **A turn ends with one line per open wait, never with "shall I continue?"**
41
+
42
+ ## Clean up after yourself
43
+
44
+ After a merge the agent **removes its own worktrees and branches locally and on origin, then runs `git fetch
45
+ --prune`**. A branch with commits found nowhere else is archived under `refs/archive/<date>/` before it is deleted. It
46
+ removes build output and dependency folders in its abandoned or merged copies and stops its own processes. **It never
47
+ touches another session's worktree, a `locked` one, or a Git-tracked file: `git ls-files -- <dir>` must print nothing
48
+ before a folder is removed.**
49
+
50
+ ## The checklist
51
+
52
+ - [ ] The template states the context rule, its one question and where the answer is recorded; a test pins it.
53
+ - [ ] The template states "a wait is not a stop" with the four parts of a wait and the turn's last lines; a test pins it.
54
+ - [ ] The template states the cleanup rule with its `git ls-files` check; a test pins it.

13
+
14
+ ## Over SSH
15
+
16
+ Fabric is a desktop app in its user's GUI login session, and the lifecycle broker that starts it runs there too
17
+ (launchd's `gui/<uid>` domain). So the first question over SSH is whether that user has a GUI login on the machine:
18
+
19
+ | Check (macOS) | Answer | Means |
20
+ |---|---|---|
21
+ | `stat -f %Su /dev/console` | your own user name | you are logged in at the screen: Fabric and the broker can run |
22
+ | `stat -f %Su /dev/console` | `root`, or another user | the login window, or someone else: no GUI session of yours |
23
+ | `launchctl print gui/$(id -u) >/dev/null 2>&1; echo $?` | not `0` (`Could not find domain`) | no GUI session of yours |
24
+
25
+ `SSH_CONNECTION` in the environment says the session came in over SSH; it says nothing about a GUI login.
26
+
27
+ **With your GUI session on that machine**, everything works as in a terminal at the screen: `hub.json` names Fabric's
28
+ loopback origin, `fabric-mcp` reaches it from the SSH session, and Step 1's broker calls work. One difference: a
29
+ consent prompt (`waiting for the operator to allow this coding agent`) is on that machine's screen, not yours. Tell the
30
+ person where it is, and call `fabric_whoami` again in a moment; never loop fast.
31
+
32
+ **With no GUI session** (a headless Mac after a FileVault restart, a machine nobody is logged in to), Fabric cannot
33
+ run there:
34
+
35
+ - No `hub.json`, or one whose `pid` is dead, is no Fabric (Step 0). Do not try to start it: no `open -a`, no
36
+ `launchctl bootstrap gui/<uid>`, no running the binary. A broker call that fails, times out or answers that the
37
+ target cannot start is that, not a reason to retry.
38
+ - Say once that Fabric is unreachable on this machine because its user has no GUI login, and name the human gate:
39
+ someone logs in at the screen (or over Screen Sharing) as that user. Skip `fabric_whoami` and the board, report
40
+ nothing to Fabric that did not reach it, and do the work that needs no Fabric.
41
+ - Leave the work where the next session finds it without the board: commit and push the branch, and write the
42
+ repository's handoff entry with the exact next task. The board learns of it once a session with Fabric reads it.
43
+ - A service of your own that must run with no login is a LaunchDaemon, not a LaunchAgent: building-fabric-services,
44
+ `references/lifecycle.md`, *The system domain*. Fabric itself is not one.
45
+
46
+ ## One Project from two machines
47
+
48
+ Each Fabric keeps its board in its own store. Two machines each running Fabric have **two boards**: a Project, its
49
+ tasks, claims, board requests and messages on one are not on the other, even for the same repository.
50
+
51
+ - `fabric_whoami` on each machine names that machine's Project. Never carry a task id, claim id, request id or
52
+ message id from one machine's board to the other's: it does not exist there, and a call with it is refused or,
53
+ worse, names something else.
54
+ - Claim the work on the machine where you do it. A claim on the laptop's board does not stop a session on the studio:
55
+ what both machines see is Git. Before starting, `git fetch` and read the other machine's pushed branches and the
56
+ repository's handoff entries; where the repository coordinates agents with agent-sync, its leases are refs on
57
+ `origin` (`git ls-remote origin 'refs/agent-sync/leases/*'`), which both machines see.
58
+ - Finish as on one machine, plus one rule: push before you stop, so the other machine's next session sees the branch.
59
+ An unpushed worktree on one machine is invisible to the other.
