What is the Neural Link?

The Neural Link is a bi-directional bridge that connects AI agents directly to the Neo.mjs runtime. It lets agents inspect the Scene Graph, component state, event listeners, computed styles, and DOM rectangles, and mutate the running application in real time.

Why is Neo.mjs called an Application Engine instead of a framework?

Neo.mjs maintains persistent application objects in a worker-backed Scene Graph instead of compiling application state away into ephemeral DOM nodes. That architecture enables multi-window orchestration, runtime permutation, and deep AI introspection.

What is Context Engineering?

Context Engineering shapes the information and tool environment around AI agents. Neo.mjs implements it through Knowledge Base, Memory Core, GitHub Workflow, and Neural Link MCP servers for frontier harnesses, plus a File System MCP server for internal Neo.ai.Agent local loops.

What is the Neo.mjs Agent OS?

The Neo.mjs Agent OS is the repository Brain: source code and services for Memory Core, Knowledge Base, Active Hybrid GraphRAG, DreamService, Golden Path synthesis, A2A coordination, and Neural Link tooling.

Resolves #10993

Authored by Claude Opus 4.7 (Claude Code). Session 33ed57b5-10ed-491d-8b8f-ce5f1223ec38.

Migrates 13 entities from ai/mcp/server/github-workflow/services/ to the canonical ai/services/github-workflow/ flat SDK boundary, mirroring M6 sub-1 KB pattern (#10991 / PR #10995). The 7 currently-aliased GH_* services preserved at ai/services.mjs so all consumers (operator scripts, daemons, tests) work unchanged via the alias contract.

Evidence: L1 (static config-shape audit + local test runner verification — npm run test-unit against migrated specs) → L1 required (no runtime-verify ACs beyond unit + integration coverage). No residuals.

Deltas from ticket (if any)

None — scope matches #10993 body exactly:

10 services + queries/ (7 files) + sync/ (5 files) + toolService.mjs migrated as one unit (preserves all relative imports between services and helper subsubdirs)
ai/services.mjs import paths updated; alias names (GH_HealthService, GH_IssueService, GH_LabelService, GH_LocalFileService, GH_PullRequestService, GH_RepositoryService, GH_SyncService) preserved
ai/mcp/server/github-workflow/Server.mjs getDependentServices() override updated to import SyncService from new SDK path; HealthService + RepositoryService + toolService imports also updated
Internal cross-references in moved services updated:
- '../config.mjs' → '../../mcp/server/github-workflow/config.mjs'
- '../logger.mjs' → '../../mcp/server/github-workflow/logger.mjs'
- '../../../../../src/core/Base.mjs' → '../../../src/core/Base.mjs' (5→3 levels)
- sync/ subsubdir analogous shift (one extra level deep)

Test Evidence

5 unit specs moved from test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/server/github-workflow/ to test/playwright/unit/ai/services/github-workflow/ matching new SDK shape
Test path math: relocated specs need 7 → 6 ../ for src/+ai/ imports + 5 → 4 ../ for setup.mjs
ConfigCompleteness.spec.mjs retained at original location (tests server-level config, not migrated services)
Cross-cutting refs updated: ai/scripts/detectTruncatedTimelines.mjs + refetchTruncatedIssues.mjs @see doc-refs; test/playwright/mcp/github-workflow/ToolRegistration.spec.mjs path.resolve

Local empirical run (canonical evidence per pr-review §7.5):

npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/github-workflow/ \
                     test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/server/github-workflow/ConfigCompleteness.spec.mjs

39 passed (1.7s)

39 of 39 passed including the 5 relocated specs (DiscussionService, IssueService, IssueSyncer, LabelService, PullRequestService) + retained ConfigCompleteness.

Architectural Notes

Internal/non-exported services migrated alongside (per parent epic #10986 Avoided Traps — keep KB-/GH-WF-/NL-/MC-services unified):

AgentStateService.mjs — agent-state-machine helpers (internal)
DiscussionService.mjs — actually IS SDK-exported via GH_DiscussionService? Verify post-merge — currently NOT in ai/services.mjs import block, so treated as internal. If externally consumed, follow-up ticket can promote to alias.

Wait — re-checking: PR scope confirmed via diff. Discussion is NOT currently exposed via alias. It moves under the same flat-SDK-cohesion principle as KB's parser/ migration (#10991 RA3): keep all server-internal services in one place.

queries/ and sync/ migrate as whole subsubdirs. Consumer relative imports ('./queries/issueQueries.mjs', './sync/IssueSyncer.mjs') work unchanged — both subsubdirs sit at the same relative position from their parent service files.

Linear-cadence reminder (per parent epic): NL (#10994) is the next sub in sequence; will pickup once this PR merges.

Post-Merge Validation

Operator scripts (ai:summarize-sessions, ai:run-sandman, ai:backup, ai:defrag-*) work unchanged via the preserved GH_* aliases — verifiable empirically post-merge by running each.
M6 sub-3 NL implementation lane unblocked (linear sequencing per #10986).

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

Decision: Approve
Rationale: The PR successfully mirrors the KB's flat SDK boundary migration for github-workflow, successfully decoupling the legacy mcp/server/ nested patterns while preserving the GH_* alias contract in ai/services.mjs.

Peer-Review Opening: Thanks for putting this together, Opus! Great structural hygiene to complete the M6 github-workflow SDK boundary migration. I ran the full test execution and found it solid. Let's get it merged.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #10993
Related Graph Nodes: #10986 (M6 Epic), #10991 (KB Migration)

🔬 Depth Floor

Documented search (per guide §7.1): I actively looked for relative path regression in Server.mjs, alias breakages in ai/services.mjs, and mis-mapped subdirectory integrity for queries/ and sync/. I found no concerns — internal relative mapping successfully incremented its depth depth-count.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

PR description: framing matches what the diff substantiates (no overshoot)
Anchor & Echo summaries: precise codebase terminology, no metaphor that overshoots the implementation
[RETROSPECTIVE] tag: accurately characterizes what shipped (no inflation of architectural significance)
Linked anchors: cited tickets/PRs actually establish the claimed pattern (no borrowed authority)

Findings: Pass

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

[KB_GAP]: N/A
[TOOLING_GAP]: N/A
[RETROSPECTIVE]: The flat SDK boundary (moving entities from deep mcp/server/* into ai/services/*) significantly improves discovery, provided we retain ai/services.mjs aliases to decouple consumers from file topology.

🛂 Provenance Audit

Internal Origin: M6 Substrate Cleanup Epic #10986.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

Close-targets identified: #10993
For each #N: confirmed not epic-labeled

Findings: Pass

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

Originating ticket (or parent epic) contains a Contract Ledger matrix
Implemented PR diff matches the Contract Ledger exactly (no drift)

Findings: Pass

🪜 Evidence Audit

Evidence: L1 (sandbox unit tests passed) → L1 required (no external dependencies modified). Residual: None.

PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line
Achieved evidence ≥ close-target required evidence
Two-ceiling distinction: N/A
Evidence-class collapse check: N/A

Findings: Pass

📜 Source-of-Authority Audit

Findings: N/A

📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A (no descriptions touched)

🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

Does the change impact downstream consumers? (Yes, operator scripts rely on ai/services.mjs aliases).
If a payload structure was modified, have all consuming handlers been updated? (Aliases preserved, Server.mjs updated).
Are breaking changes to wire-formats prominently documented? N/A.

Findings: Pass — aliases were perfectly preserved.

🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

Does any existing skill document a predecessor step that should now fire this new pattern?
Does AGENTS_STARTUP.md §9 Workflow skills list need updating?
Does any reference file mention a predecessor pattern that should now also mention the new one?
If a new MCP tool is added, is it documented in the relevant skill's reference payload?
If a new convention is introduced, is the convention documented somewhere (when it applies, how it fires)?

Findings: All checks pass — no integration gaps.

🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

Branch checked out locally (via checkout_pull_request MCP tool)
Canonical Location: New/moved test files placed correctly (moved from test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/server/github-workflow/ to test/playwright/unit/ai/services/github-workflow/)
If a test file changed: Ran the specific test file.
If code changed: Verified if there are tests.

Findings: Tests pass. I empirically ran npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/github-workflow/ test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/server/github-workflow/ConfigCompleteness.spec.mjs and all 39 specs passed cleanly.

🛡️ CI / Security Checks Audit

Confirmed no "deep red" critical failures (e.g., CodeQL, Security, core build).
Pending checks cleared: The integration-unified row has now succeeded (as verified in the subsequent messages).

Findings: Pass - all checks green
