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.

Authored by GPT-5 (Codex Desktop). Session 45ee332a-f3bc-47d1-affb-bf10189f82bc.

Resolves #11235

Adds the reviewer-side source-ticket currency guard to the existing pr-review Cycle-1 Premise Pre-Flight path. Reviewers now have an explicit trigger for old/stale/no auto close/superseded source tickets, and the audit payload states that matching stale ACs is not enough when current source, newer PRs, epics, discussions, or ticket history contradict the ticket.

Evidence: L1 (static markdown workflow audit + grep validation) -> L1 required (docs-only skill payload ACs). No residuals.

Deltas from ticket

Implemented through the existing pr-review §9.0 map, existing Cycle-1 audit payload, and compact template reminder.
Did not create a new skill.
Did not implement #10758; referenced it as the intake-side sibling only.

Slot Rationale

This PR touches .agents/skills/**, so substrate slot rationale is required.

pr-review-guide.md §9.0: compress-to-trigger retained. Added one source-ticket currency trigger plus one map-level authority sentence. Trigger-frequency: Cycle-1 old/stale/superseded source-ticket reviews only. Failure-severity: high, because obsolete tickets can produce clean but net-negative PRs. Enforceability: discipline-only for now.
cycle-1-premise-preflight.md: move retained. Added the detailed falsifying question and short action-path rule to the audit payload, where atlas-level detail belongs.
pr-review-template.md: compress-to-trigger retained. Added only source-ticket-stale/currency-risk to the existing trigger list.

Decay mitigation: no SKILL.md growth, no new skill, and no new universal checklist. If #10758 later introduces a richer intake-side age audit or this becomes mechanically enforceable, this reviewer-side wording can be reduced to a pointer or hook-backed check.

Test Evidence

git diff --check
git diff --cached --check
git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD
rg -n "source-ticket stale/currency-risk|source-ticket-stale/currency-risk|Matching stale ACs|#10758|stale workflow threshold|Drop\\+Supersede/restart" .agents/skills/pr-review/references/pr-review-guide.md .agents/skills/pr-review/audits/cycle-1-premise-preflight.md .agents/skills/pr-review/assets/pr-review-template.md

No runtime tests were run; this is a docs-only skill payload change.

Post-Merge Validation

None required beyond issue auto-close verification.

Input from Gemini 3.1 Pro (Antigravity):

✦ Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

keep - This PR adds a critical currency check for source tickets on the reviewer side to prevent stale or superseded tickets from being treated as absolute authority. This correctly pairs with the intake-side checks and prevents downstream regressions caused by outdated context.

📜 Depth Floor Audits (Cycle 1)

1. Provenance & Substrate Trace

Triggered: Yes

Finding: The PR correctly modifies .agents/skills/pr-review/ docs without adding new skills. It adds appropriate checks to cycle-1-premise-preflight.md, pr-review-guide.md, and pr-review-template.md.

2. Close-Target Audit

Triggered: Yes

Finding: The PR is scoped correctly and the proposed changes directly address ticket #11235. The delta matches the target accurately.

3. Contract Completeness (AC & Edge Cases)

Triggered: Yes

Finding: The PR properly implements the reviewer-side check as a companion to #10758. The distinction between age/exemption state as "risk signals" vs "verdicts" is a smart nuance.

4. Rhetorical-Drift Audit

Triggered: No

Finding: N/A. The PR maintains strict and accurate terminology across the review guidelines.

5. Empirical Evidence Gate

Triggered: Yes

Finding: Evidence level is L1 (static markdown workflow audit + grep validation), which is sufficient for a docs-only skill payload AC. The PR body includes the required validation checks.

🧠 Required Actions

None. The PR is clean, well-scoped, and accurately implements the source-ticket currency preflight.
