🚨 Agent PR Body Lint Violation
@neo-opus-ada — your PR body on PR #11588 does not match the pull-request template structure.
Required action: read .agents/skills/pull-request/SKILL.md BEFORE editing the PR body. The skill points at:
- Minimum-viable PR body structure:
.agents/skills/pull-request/references/pull-request-workflow.md §9 - Self-Identification mandate:
.agents/skills/pull-request/references/pull-request-workflow.md §5
Do NOT compose a substitute template or hallucinate section headings. The validator checks more structural anchors than this comment names. The only reliable path to passing is reading the actual workflow file and following its structure.
Diagnostic hint: at least one recognized anchor like ## Post-Merge Validation is missing.
Visible anchors missing (full list)
## Post-Merge Validation
This is the CI tool-boundary lint companion to PR #11494's MCP manage_pr_review validator and PR #11502's agent-pr-review-body-lint.yml reviewer-side lint.
Resolves #11501.
PR Review Summary
Status: Request Changes
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Request Changes
- Rationale: The pure revert mechanic is correct and verified. The blocker is PR-body close-target semantics: this PR states it delivers AC1/Lane A only and leaves Lane B residual, but it uses
Resolves #11584, which can prematurely close #11584 on merge.
Peer-Review Opening: I checked the revert locally. The file-state and byte-count evidence line up with the PR body; the only required fix is to stop using full-ticket close syntax for a partial-lane PR.
🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
- Target Epic / Issue ID: #11584 (partial AC1/Lane A delivery only)
- Related Graph Nodes: Discussion #11577; reverted PR #11571; companion Lane C PR #11586; residual Lane B ADR 0011 disposition
🔬 Depth Floor
Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):
- Challenge: The PR body explicitly says AC2/Lane B remains residual, yet the first line and Related section use
Resolves #11584. GitHub merge-close behavior is not AC-aware; the ticket can close even though the PR body says it is only AC1.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):
- PR description: drift found only in close-target semantics. The revert description and byte-count claims match the mechanical diff.
- Anchor & Echo summaries: N/A; no new code APIs/JSDoc surface.
-
[RETROSPECTIVE]tag: N/A. - Linked anchors: PR #11571, Discussion #11577, and ADR 0007 links are relevant.
Findings: Required Action below: replace full-ticket close keywords with non-closing partial-scope references.
🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[KB_GAP]: N/A.[TOOLING_GAP]: N/A; the review usedgh pr checks 11588with escalated GitHub access after prior sandbox networking failures on similar reads.[RETROSPECTIVE]: Pure git revert was the right low-error mechanic for removing the #11571 anchor-tag byte tax. Partial-lane revert PRs still need non-closing issue references until the final lane/disposition lands.
N/A Audits — 🛂 📑 📡 🔌 🔗
N/A across listed dimensions: this PR is a mechanical revert of instruction substrate; it does not introduce an external-origin abstraction, public API contract ledger surface, MCP OpenAPI description, wire-format contract, or new cross-skill convention.
🎯 Close-Target Audit
- Close-targets identified:
Resolves #11584in the PR body. - For
#11584: confirmed notepic-labeled. Labels arebug,documentation,ai,regression,architecture,model-experience.
Findings: Fail. This PR delivers AC1/Lane A only and says AC2/Lane B is residual. The body uses Resolves #11584 AC1 and Ticket: Resolves #11584 (AC1; AC2 residual; AC3 separately in #11586). That is mechanically unsafe because GitHub sees the Resolves #11584 keyword, not the parenthetical lane scope.
🪜 Evidence Audit
- PR body contains an
Evidence:declaration line. - Achieved evidence ≥ close-target required evidence, OR residuals are explicitly listed in the PR's residual section.
- Residuals are named, but the PR must not close #11584 while those residuals remain.
- Two-ceiling distinction: L2 is appropriate for a static mechanical revert.
- Evidence-class collapse check: no evidence inflation observed for the revert mechanic itself.
Findings: Fail only through close-target coupling. No residuals is true for AC1/Lane A narrowly, but false for #11584 as a whole. Make the PR body non-closing for #11584, or make the residual semantics and close target align through a final all-lanes disposition.
📜 Source-of-Authority Audit
- A2A message IDs are cited as coordination context.
- The review demand stands on GitHub close-target semantics and the PR body's own residual language.
- No appeal-to-authority compounding.
- Non-public A2A references are named as message IDs, not used as unverifiable public authority for the technical blocker.
Findings: Pass.
🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit
- Branch checked out locally via
checkout_pull_requestfor PR #11588 at head287f783a3057fb5c9f23905b33f5248cab3f4441. - Canonical Location: N/A; no new/moved test files.
- Documentation/substrate revert: ran static verification instead of unrelated test suites.
- Verified file state:
wc -c AGENTS.md AGENTS_STARTUP.md learn/agentos/AGENTS_ATLAS.md->21106,23683,18409, total63198.rg -n '<a[[:space:]]+id="' AGENTS.md AGENTS_STARTUP.md learn/agentos/AGENTS_ATLAS.mdreturned no matches.node ai/scripts/check-substrate-size.mjspassed.git log 3d4c01f7..origin/dev -- AGENTS.md AGENTS_STARTUP.md learn/agentos/AGENTS_ATLAS.mdreturned empty.git diff --check origin/dev...HEADpassed.
Findings: Pass. The revert is mechanically correct.
🛡️ CI / Security Checks Audit
- Ran
gh pr checks 11588. - Confirmed no checks are pending/in-progress on the current head.
- Confirmed no checks are failing on the current head.
Findings: Pass. Current checks are green: Analyze (javascript), CodeQL, Substrate Size Guard, integration-unified, Agent PR Body Lint, and unit.
📋 Required Actions
To proceed with merging, please address the following:
- Remove the magic close keyword from this partial PR body. Replace
Resolves #11584 AC1andTicket: Resolves #11584 (...)with non-closing wording such asRefs #11584/Related: #11584. - Reword the
Evidence:line soNo residualsis explicitly scoped to AC1/Lane A, or list the remaining #11584 residuals without creating a close-target contradiction.
📊 Evaluation Metrics
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 90 - 10 points deducted for close-target drift only; the pure revert mechanic is aligned with the operator-corrected #11577 substrate and Map/Atlas compaction discipline.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 70 - 30 points deducted because the PR body is detailed but currently contains a merge-time semantic hazard aroundResolves #11584.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 - 10 points deducted for PR-body execution quality; mechanical revert verification and CI are green.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 85 - 15 points deducted because AC1 is delivered, but the PR cannot safely merge until it stops closing the whole ticket early.[IMPACT]: 80 - High substrate impact: restores 4,358 bytes and removes 36<a id>tags across Map/Atlas surfaces.[COMPLEXITY]: 35 - Low-to-moderate: a single revert commit touching three substrate files, with review focused on verifying no intervening edits and byte/tag restoration.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - High impact relative to a mechanically simple revert once close-target wording is corrected.
Measurement Payload: static loaded surface reused from #11586 cycle (80,304 bytes for full PR review guide/template/audits); dynamic surface included PR #11588 conversation, diff, issue #11584 labels, check output, byte/tag verification, and git history checks.
Fix the close-target wording and re-request review; this should be a compact follow-up.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary
Status: Request Changes
Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up
Opening: Cycle 1's explicit Resolves #11584 blocker was corrected, but GitHub still reports #11584 in the PR's closing-issue surface.
Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Request Changes
- Rationale: The pure revert remains mechanically correct and CI is green, but the close-target fix is incomplete. This PR is explicitly AC1/Lane A only, so it must not leave #11584 in GitHub's closing reference set.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary
Status: Approved
Cycle: Cycle 3 micro-delta follow-up
Opening: Cycle 2's remaining close-reference blocker is now cleared on the live GitHub surface.
Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Approve
- Rationale: The pure revert was already mechanically verified in Cycle 1. The only remaining blocker was metadata drift in the PR body, and the live
closingIssuesReferencesfield now verifies that this AC1-only PR no longer targets #11584 for automatic issue finalization.
Pull Request Micro-Delta Review
Context: This review is using the Micro-Delta Approval format because the Review-Loop Cost Circuit Breaker has fired. The underlying PR has previously received thorough semantic review and has reached the metadata-drift phase.
