Research direction
Start by reading the linked xterm control-sequence reference for OSC 4 and inspecting the existing OSC handling in Mosh. Determine how indexed-color get/set requests should fit the current terminal protocol support. Done means Mosh supports both OSC 4 operations consistently with the reference; the issue names no specific tests or files.
