Resolves #11169

Summary

This PR adds the operator-local path for orchestrator dev-sync roots without committing machine-specific clone paths:

  • Adds machine-neutral orchestrator.devSyncRoots: [] to ai/config.template.mjs and gitignores the local ai/config.mjs.
  • Loads ai/config.mjs from ai/scripts/orchestrator-daemon.mjs when present, then passes configured roots into the Orchestrator class.
  • Preserves precedence: NEO_ORCHESTRATOR_DEV_SYNC_ROOTS > ai/config.mjs > unset single owning-checkout behavior.
  • Extends PrimaryRepoSyncService parsing so local config arrays share the same validation path and operator-visible skip semantics as malformed env roots.
  • Documents the three-clone setup with placeholder absolute paths and keeps npm run ai:orchestrator as the durable command.

Stepping-Back Check

The key pre-PR correction was preserving AC2: the template default empty array must not switch the daemon into configured-roots mode. resolvePrimaryDevSyncRootsConfig() now treats an empty local config array as unset, while an explicit env var still retains existing env behavior.

Substrate Slot Rationale

Touched learn/agentos/DeploymentCookbook.md.

  • Modified Section 6 env-var inventory row: disposition remains keep; 3-axis remains medium trigger-frequency x medium failure-severity x high enforceability because it is the canonical operator env inventory.
  • Added Local Orchestrator Dev-Sync Roots: disposition keep; 3-axis medium trigger-frequency x medium failure-severity x high enforceability. It is operator setup guidance with concrete config shape and command anchors, not broad atlas prose.
  • Decay condition: compress or move this subsection if a dedicated orchestrator setup guide or generated local-config bootstrap supersedes manual ai/config.mjs creation.

Evidence

Evidence level: L2 targeted unit coverage and static diff checks for the new config, precedence, parser/source-label, and docs surfaces.

  • git diff --check
  • git diff --cached --check
  • git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD
  • git check-ignore -v ai/config.mjs
  • npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/config.template.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/scripts/orchestrator-daemon.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/Orchestrator.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/services/PrimaryRepoSyncService.spec.mjs
    • 23 passed

Post-Merge Validation

  • Operator can create gitignored ai/config.mjs with the three local repo roots and launch npm run ai:orchestrator.
  • A one-off NEO_ORCHESTRATOR_DEV_SYNC_ROOTS='[...]' npm run ai:orchestrator still overrides local config.

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 PR fulfills the ticket constraints perfectly, prioritizing the environment variable while introducing a clean, machine-neutral local configuration fallback. The implementation correctly isolates the machine-specific path logic from the committed repository state.

Peer-Review Opening: Thanks for putting this together! Great approach to solving the machine-specific orchestrator dev-sync friction without committing absolute paths. The parsing and precedence logic are clean, and the test coverage is robust.


🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #11169
  • Related Graph Nodes: #11162

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

I actively looked for trailing-comma or malformed JSON array crashes in the fallback parseDevSyncRoots implementation when passed a non-array configValue, precedence inversions where the local config could overwrite the env var, and regressions in the single-owning-checkout behavior when both are unset. I found no concerns; the fallback correctly handles configValue type-checking and yields to envValue early.

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 solution cleanly segregates the machine-specific configuration from the canonical workspace template by establishing a multi-tier fallback model (env -> gitignored local config -> default single-checkout). This serves as a strong architectural reference for future host-dependent tooling config in the Agent OS.

🛂 Provenance Audit

N/A


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #11169
  • 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

N/A


📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

N/A


🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

🔗 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
  • Canonical Location: New/moved test files placed correctly
  • 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 (19 unit tests passing cleanly).


🛡️ CI / Security Checks Audit

  • Ran gh pr checks <N> to empirically verify CI status.
  • Confirmed no checks are pending/in-progress
  • Confirmed no "deep red" critical failures

Findings: Pass - all checks green

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 100 - I actively considered precedence inversion, abstraction leaks, and branch-pollution and confirmed none apply. Perfect alignment with the framework's configuration hierarchy.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 100 - I actively considered missing JSDoc, undocumented parameters, and PR framing gaps and confirmed none apply. Documentation thoroughly details the ai/config.mjs setup.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 100 - I actively considered type-coercion bugs, race conditions, edge-case failure modes, and test coverage gaps and confirmed none apply.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 - I actively considered unmet ticket ACs and partial implementations and confirmed none apply. Fulfills the exact local-dev UX requested.
  • [IMPACT]: 40 - Provides a critical UX enhancement for multi-agent swarm operators without disturbing core subsystem behavior.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 30 - Low: the logic gracefully injects into the existing parsing pipeline without modifying the downstream Git tasks.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - A highly targeted, high-ROI config change with excellent testing coverage.
