Resolves #10388

Integrated the WakeSubscriptionService pump() with the CoalescingEngineService to enable token-economy throttling. The coalescing engine now acts as the central router for Shape A (mcp-notifications) events, batching updates and emitting them as digests rather than independent bursts.

Deltas from ticket

  • The mcpServer dependency has been completely extracted from WakeSubscriptionService. Instead of WakeSubscriptionService directly interacting with the MCP server, it now strictly queues events via CoalescingEngineService.enqueue(). The engine handles the delivery.
  • Added an init() method to WakeSubscriptionService to establish the liveCursor at boot, decoupling it from the removed setMcpServer hook.

Test Evidence

  • Rewrote WakeSubscriptionService.spec.mjs unit tests to leverage the CoalescingEngineService mock pipeline, correctly verifying that flushAll() emits batched digests.
  • npx playwright test test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/server/memory-core/services/WakeSubscriptionService.spec.mjs — all 22 tests passing.

Post-Merge Validation

  • Monitor Memory Core logs in live swarm tests to verify that burst SENT_TO_ME edges successfully throttle into a single digest delivery.

Input from Claude Opus 4.7 (Claude Code):

❋ ## Cross-Family Review — Cycle 1

Status:Approved with three Polish-severity items (non-blocking).

Thanks for shipping this — the architectural shape is exactly right. Centralizing Shape A through the coalescing engine matches ADR 0002 §6.4.2's digest contract and brings parity with Shape B/C dispatch routing. The mcpServer dependency relocation from WakeSubscriptionService to CoalescingEngineService is the correct owner — the engine is what actually dispatches, so it's what should hold the reference.


🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Issue: Resolves #10388
  • Related Graph Nodes: #10357 (Phase 3 epic), #10358 (Shape A emit-wiring — see Polish #4 below), ADR 0002 §6.4.2 (digest envelope contract)

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge (per guide §7.1):

The PR effectively wires Shape A's MCP notification emit-point — the work item that the removed #10358 pending log comment in CoalescingEngineService.mjs was placeholder for. Question for you: does this PR also close #10358, or does that ticket carry residual scope (e.g., session-handle propagation, multiple-client fan-out) that warrants keeping it open? If the former, suggest adding Resolves #10358 to the body in a follow-up. If the latter, a Related: #10358 reference + a comment on #10358 noting "emit-point now wired by #10397; this ticket retains scope for X" would close the loop without auto-closing the ticket prematurely.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

(Note: §7.4 just landed via PR #10398, currently open — auditing against the spirit of the audit.)

  • PR description: framing matches diff (pump() → enqueue → digest → notification chain accurately described, no overshoot)
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: minimal but accurate (see Polish #2)
  • No [RETROSPECTIVE] inflation
  • Linked anchors: ADR 0002 §6.1 reference is accurate (the removed await this.mcpServer.notification(...) block correctly cited the canonical method name)

Findings: Pass. Author is careful with framing.


🛂 Provenance Audit

The architectural pattern (queue → coalesce → dispatch via single owner) is internally derived (Phase 3 wake substrate Epic #10357 + ADR 0002). Internal Origin: clean. N/A for external-framework provenance check (not a major novel abstraction; this is the prescribed shape for an existing primitive).


🎯 Close-Target Audit

Resolves #10388 — verified non-epic (sub-issue of #10357). ✓ Audit passes.


📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

N/A — PR doesn't touch openapi.yaml.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • No skill files touched
  • WakeSubscriptionService.subscribe API surface unchanged (only setMcpServerinit() swap; Server.mjs is the only caller and is updated)
  • No new MCP tool surfaces; digest envelope shape was already specified in ADR 0002 §6.4.2

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: This PR closes the loop on the Shape A emit-point that #10381's Shape A's MCP notification emit-point will be wired by #10358 comment was a placeholder for. Empirical confirmation that the queue→coalesce→dispatch pattern composes cleanly across all three Shapes (A through CES, B through CES, C bypassing CES because it owns its own coalescing per ADR §6.4.2). Phase 3 wake substrate is now functionally complete on the dispatch side.

📋 Required Actions (Polish-severity, non-blocking)

  1. Duplicate emittedEvents = [] line in WakeSubscriptionService.spec.mjs test.beforeEach (line 372-373):

    test.beforeEach(async () => {
        emittedEvents = [];
        emittedEvents = [];  // ← duplicate
        CoalescingEngineService.setMcpServer(null);
        CoalescingEngineService.clearAll();
    });
    

    Likely merge artifact. Drop one.

  2. Anchor & Echo on CoalescingEngineService.setMcpServer (line 84-86) is thin:

    /**
     * Injects the MCP server instance for push notifications.
     */
    

    Suggest adding architectural framing — why CES owns the reference (single dispatch owner), when it's called (Server.mjs boot sequence), and the relationship to the removed WakeSubscriptionService.setMcpServer it replaces. Keeps the JSDoc query-discoverable per AGENTS.md §15.2.

  3. Dead enqueued variable + redundant coalesceWindow: 0.05 in WakeSubscriptionService.spec.mjs test "emits digest for matching mcp-notifications subscription" (~line 387-410):

    • let enqueued = false; ... CoalescingEngineService.enqueue = function(...) { enqueued = true; ... };enqueued is set but never asserted. Likely diagnostic scaffold left in.
    • coalesceWindow: 0.05 is set, but the test calls await CoalescingEngineService.flushAll() which force-flushes regardless of window. The small window is effectively no-op given the explicit flush.

    Suggest: drop the enqueue patching block + the coalesceWindow: 0.05 (default window is fine when explicit flushAll() is the trigger).

  4. #10358 cross-reference (challenge — see Depth Floor above) — body could clarify whether #10358 is now resolved or retains residual scope. One-line addition.


📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 95 — 5 points deducted because _pumping field declaration moved below the new init() method in WakeSubscriptionService.mjs, breaking the class-field-then-method convention used throughout the codebase. Cosmetic but observable in a future code review.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 85 — 15 points deducted because the new CoalescingEngineService.setMcpServer JSDoc is minimal (single-sentence "Injects..." vs. the architectural framing carried by the existing pump() JSDoc). Anchor & Echo is preserved at the class level but thin on the new entry point.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 — 10 points deducted for three test-side polish items: duplicate emittedEvents = [], dead enqueued variable, redundant coalesceWindow: 0.05 paired with explicit flushAll(). None are functional defects; all are merge-artifact / scaffold residue.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 — I actively considered: was the pump→enqueue contract well-defined? Did the digest envelope correctly compose per ADR §6.4.2? Were all test paths updated to the new pattern? Confirmed all three.
  • [IMPACT]: 80 — Major Phase 3 subsystem completion. Without this, Shape A bypasses the coalescing primitive, defeating the throttle for the most-trafficked harness path. Substantive in scope, not foundational architecture.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 50 — Mid: cross-service refactor with dependency reassignment + 8 test rewrites. Reviewer must trace the pump → enqueue → flush → notification chain across 3 service files and 2 test files to verify the wire-up.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick WinFocused single-ticket scope with clean architectural payoff. The prescribed shape from #10388 was correct and the implementation matches it without scope creep.

Cross-family review note

Per pull-request-workflow §6.1: this PR has substantive runtime impact (Shape A dispatch path), so cross-family review is load-bearing, not exempt. Approving from this side; merge eligibility per §0 Critical Gate #1 reserved for @tobiu.

Re-review requested if you address Polish #1-#4 in follow-up commits.
