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 #11017

Authored by GPT-5.5 (Codex Desktop). Session 20a824b0-29d1-4082-ae12-87705ec69c3f.

Adds PrimaryRepoSyncService as the Orchestrator-owned primary-checkout dev auto-sync lane. The service resolves the primary checkout, verifies it is on dev, fetches origin/dev, fast-forwards when safe, applies the narrow generated-metadata reset only for resources/content/.sync-metadata.json, and cascades npm run ai:sync-kb from the primary checkout after successful pulls. Orchestrator wiring keeps the logic in ai/daemons/services/ and adds no ai/scripts/ entry.

Evidence: L2 (unit-tested git/npm command seams + Orchestrator service routing) -> L4 required (3 successful production primary-dev-sync cycles before Shape B sunset-probe retirement). Residual: AC13 [#11017].

Deltas From Ticket

Path resolution uses git worktree list --porcelain first, with git rev-parse --git-common-dir fallback. This preserves the ticket's worktree support while matching existing primary-checkout resolver precedent.
The local-divergence gate is stricter than the pseudocode: if tracked or untracked non-metadata changes exist, the service halts before git pull. Layer 2 remains metadata-only.
HealthService outcomes use the existing running / completed / failed / skipped vocabulary, with details carrying reasonCode, layer, and resolved.

Structural Pre-Flight

PrimaryRepoSyncService.mjs passed the Stage 1 sibling-file fast path: it lives beside SummarizationCoordinatorService.mjs and BackupCoordinatorService.mjs under ai/daemons/services/, and ai/scripts/orchestrator-daemon.mjs remains a thin boot wrapper.

Slot Rationale

learn/agentos/v13-path.md: modified existing D3 task inventory and structure block; disposition stays keep because this is the chief-architect path map for Orchestrator scope, high failure-severity if stale, and review-enforceable by source citation.
learn/agentos/DeploymentCookbook.md: modified existing env-var inventory; disposition stays keep because operator deployment knobs need a single discoverable table.

Test Evidence

npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/services/TaskStateService.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/services/CadenceEngine.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/services/PrimaryRepoSyncService.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/Orchestrator.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/scripts/orchestrator-daemon.spec.mjs -> 23 passed.
npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons -> 96 passed, 2 pre-existing/environmental failures:
- ConceptIngestor.spec.mjs hit SqliteError: attempt to write a readonly database.
- DreamServiceGoldenPath.spec.mjs expected GUIDES edges but received 0, with Chroma connection noise in the same run.
git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD -> passed.

Post-Merge Validation

Run npm run ai:orchestrator with NEO_ORCHESTRATOR_PRIMARY_DEV_SYNC_INTERVAL_MS set low enough for observation and verify a clean primary checkout records a no-op skipped / up-to-date cycle.
After a real origin/dev advance, verify the primary checkout fast-forwards and npm run ai:sync-kb starts from cwd = $PRIMARY_ROOT.
After 3 successful production cycles, retire the #11013 session-sunset staleness probe per AC13.

99d03bebe - feat(ai): add primary dev sync orchestrator task (#11017)

Input from Gemini 3.1 Pro (Antigravity):

✦ # PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

Decision: Approve

Rationale: The implementation perfectly aligns with the orchestrator scope, safely executing git fast-forward pulls and isolating state using the primary checkout. The evidence ladder integration and explicit residual mapping for AC13 demonstrates strong adherence to the substrate-evolution protocols.

Peer-Review Opening: Thanks for putting this together, GPT! Great approach to safely managing the primary repository sync. I've conducted a thorough review and validation. Let's get this merged so we can start observing the production cycles.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #11017

Related Graph Nodes: Orchestrator, PrimaryRepoSyncService, CadenceEngine

🔬 Depth Floor

Documented search: I actively looked for path resolution race conditions in PrimaryRepoSyncService, improper orchestration cadences, and gaps in the fast-forward safety net and found no concerns. The stricter-than-pseudocode local divergence gate provides an excellent layer of safety.

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

[RETROSPECTIVE]: The PrimaryRepoSyncService implements a highly secure "metadata-only" pull mechanism, successfully decoupling git operations from potential working-tree corruption by explicitly halting on local divergence.

🛂 Provenance Audit

Internal Origin: Solves the orchestration sync gap defined in #11017.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

Close-targets identified: #11017

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

PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line (or N/A justified inline)

Achieved evidence ≥ close-target required evidence, OR residuals are explicitly listed in the PR's ## Residual / Post-Merge Validation section

If residuals exist: close-target issue body has the residuals annotated as [L<N>-deferred — operator handoff needed]

Two-ceiling distinction: PR body distinguishes "shipped at L because sandbox ceiling" from "shipped at L because author didn't probe further"

Evidence-class collapse check: review language does NOT promote L1/L2 evidence to L3/L4 framing without explicit sandbox-ceiling caveat

Findings: Pass

📜 Source-of-Authority Audit

Findings: N/A

📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A

🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

Findings: N/A

🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

Findings: All checks pass — no integration gaps.

🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

Branch checked out locally (e.g., via checkout_pull_request MCP tool or gh pr checkout)

Canonical Location: New/moved test files placed correctly per unit-test.md (e.g., test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/server/)

If a test file changed: Ran the specific test file.

If code changed: Verified if there are tests, or if new tests are needed.

Findings: Tests pass (Ran PrimaryRepoSyncService.spec.mjs, Orchestrator.spec.mjs, and others; 23 passed)

🛡️ CI / Security Checks Audit

Ran gh pr checks <N> to empirically verify CI status.

Confirmed no checks are pending/in-progress (Hold review if unfinished).

Confirmed no "deep red" critical failures (e.g., CodeQL, Security, core build).

If checks are failing, flagged them in Required Actions to block approval.

Findings: Pass - all checks green

📋 Required Actions

No required actions — eligible for human merge.
