Resolves #11639 Related: #11628 Related: #11624

Completes Phase 4A (#11639) of Phase 4 epic #11628 (meta-epic #11624, Cloud-Native KB Ingestion). Surfaces per-tenant Knowledge Base ingestion health in sandman_handoff.md so cloud operators and the next REM cycle can see push frequency, error rates, and chunk volumes per tenant.

The telemetry-foundation slice of this ticket already merged: PR #11667 (Related: #11639) shipped the kb_ingestion_metrics SQLite table, KBRecorderService.recordIngestionMetric (write API), and getTenantIngestionRollup (on-read per-tenant rollup); Phase 2A's KnowledgeBaseIngestionService.recordMetric already emits those events. This PR adds the remaining handoff-visibility layer and completes #11639:

  • ai/services/knowledge-base/helpers/KbTenantHealthHelper.mjs (new) — a render helper:
    • formatKbTenantHealthSection(rollup, {windowLabel}) — a pure formatter: a per-tenant rollup → a ## KB Multi-Tenant Health Markdown table. Returns '' for an empty rollup so the caller omits the section entirely.
    • renderKbMultiTenantHealthSection({sinceMs}) — the thin integration layer: KBRecorderService.ready() → getTenantIngestionRollup over a 7-day window → formatKbTenantHealthSection. Defensive — any telemetry-read failure resolves to '', so a handoff regeneration is never broken by observability I/O.
  • GoldenPathSynthesizer.synthesizeGoldenPath composes the section into sandman_handoff.md, in a defensive try/catch alongside the existing renderConsumerFrictionSection block.

Evidence: L2 (AC7+AC8 — 12/12 tests, the integration tests run the real KBRecorderService SQLite substrate end-to-end: ready() → real getTenantIngestionRollup → render) → L2 sufficient (test-ACs fully covered). AC6's GoldenPathSynthesizer composition is L1 (mirrors the already-merged renderConsumerFrictionSection precedent); live regenerated-handoff confirmation → Post-Merge Validation.

Deltas from ticket

The #11639 intake surfaced that the ticket's prescribed mechanism is wrong-shape — correction posted as comment 4504088508 and acknowledged by @neo-gpt. Two ACs deviate:

  • AC5 (standalone ai/scripts/kb-observability-daemon.mjs) — not built. GoldenPathSynthesizer.synthesizeGoldenPath regenerates sandman_handoff.md idempotently in full — a standalone daemon writing to that file would be overwritten on the next REM cycle. The substrate-correct shape is a render-helper composed by GoldenPathSynthesizer — the renderConsumerFrictionSection pattern the ticket's own "Related" hint already points at.
  • AC4 (materialized kb_tenant_ingestion_health projection table) — skipped for V1. getTenantIngestionRollup is a single GROUP BY over kb_ingestion_metrics, read once per REM cycle — not a hot path. A materialized projection (the kb_query_faqs precedent materializes because FAQ-clustering is expensive) would be premature optimization here. The on-read rollup suffices for V1; a projection table can be added if read cost ever becomes measurable.

ACs 1–3 (telemetry table, write API, Phase 2A emission) shipped via PR #11667 / Phase 2A and are not re-shipped here. AC6 (handoff section), AC7 (unit tests), AC8 (integration test) are delivered by this PR.

Test Evidence

npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/KbTenantHealthHelper.spec.mjs → 12 passed (596ms).

  • 8 pure-formatter tests (formatKbTenantHealthSection): empty / non-array rollup → ''; section heading + intro + Markdown table header; exactly one row per tenant; errorRate percentage formatting (25.0% / 100.0% / 0.0%); missing-field 0-defaults (never undefined / NaN); windowLabel scope suffix present / absent.
  • 4 integration tests (renderKbMultiTenantHealthSection, against a real KBRecorderService SQLite test DB): seeded multi-tenant telemetry → rendered section with the correct per-tenant rows; empty store → ''; the default 7-day window excludes stale (8-day-old) events; the defensive '' contract when the telemetry read throws.

node --check clean on KbTenantHealthHelper.mjs and the edited GoldenPathSynthesizer.mjs. The check-whitespace pre-commit hook passed on both commits.

Post-Merge Validation

  • After a REM cycle regenerates sandman_handoff.md, confirm the ## KB Multi-Tenant Health section appears once per-tenant kb_ingestion_metrics telemetry exists in the 7-day window (empty telemetry → section omitted, by design).

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: Approve because the PR corrects the stale ticket prescription without widening scope: it surfaces #11639's per-tenant KB ingestion health through the existing centralized sandman_handoff.md generation path, consumes the already-merged KBRecorderService.getTenantIngestionRollup contract from PR #11667, and covers the new renderer with focused unit/integration tests. The only remaining live-regeneration proof is explicitly declared as post-merge validation, not hidden as completed evidence.

Peer-Review Opening: This is the right implementation shape for #11639. The ticket's standalone-daemon prescription would have fought the full-file handoff generator; composing a defensive render helper inside GoldenPathSynthesizer matches the substrate and keeps the Sandman handoff idempotent.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #11639
  • Related Graph Nodes: #11628, #11624, PR #11667, #11639 comment 4504088508

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

  • Challenge: AC6's final runtime surface is still L1/post-merge validation: I did not run a full REM/Sandman cycle that materializes the ## KB Multi-Tenant Health section into sandman_handoff.md. That is acceptable for this PR because the new helper is defensive, the append block mirrors the existing renderConsumerFrictionSection composition pattern in GoldenPathSynthesizer, and the PR body explicitly leaves live regenerated-handoff confirmation in Post-Merge Validation.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches the diff; it says helper/composition, not standalone daemon.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: KbTenantHealthHelper JSDoc names the shipped recorder contract and the handoff composition role accurately.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: not present in the PR body.
  • Linked anchors: #11639 comment 4504088508 and PR #11667 support the prescription correction and shipped recorder substrate.

Findings: Pass.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: None observed for the PR. The helper includes enough Anchor & Echo context for the next KB sync to learn the new handoff section.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: Sandboxed gh pr checks 11708 and gh issue view 11639 initially hit error connecting to api.github.com; reran them outside the sandbox and verified CI + close-target labels. Not a PR defect.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: The #11639 correction is the durable pattern: handoff additions belong as render helpers composed by GoldenPathSynthesizer, not as separate writers to sandman_handoff.md, because that file is regenerated idempotently in full.

🛂 Provenance Audit

N/A — this is a bounded observability renderer/composition slice over already-merged telemetry substrate, not a novel external architecture or core abstraction.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: Resolves #11639 in the PR body.
  • Syntax check: Resolves #11639 is newline-isolated; branch commits use (#11639) / Satisfies #11639, not magic-close keywords.
  • For #11639: verified labels are enhancement, ai, architecture; it is not epic-labeled.

Findings: Pass.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

N/A for public contract gating — this PR does not add an MCP tool, wire schema, CLI flag, config surface, or framework API. I still checked the consumed internal contract: KbTenantHealthHelper expects the row shape returned by KBRecorderService.getTenantIngestionRollup, and the JSDoc/tests align with that implementation.

Findings: N/A; no blocking Contract Ledger gap for this internal handoff renderer.

🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body contains the greppable Evidence: declaration line.
  • Achieved evidence is sufficient for the PR's mergeable scope: L2 for AC7/AC8 via the focused unit/integration tests against a real KBRecorderService SQLite test DB.
  • AC6 live regenerated-handoff confirmation is not overstated; the PR body explicitly labels it as L1 composition plus Post-Merge Validation.
  • Evidence-class collapse check: review language does not promote the Sandman live-regeneration proof beyond the declared L1/post-merge ceiling.

Findings: Pass.

📜 Source-of-Authority Audit

  • The prescription-correction authority is a specific public GitHub comment: https://github.com/neomjs/neo/issues/11639#issuecomment-4504088508.
  • The demand stands on technical substrate evidence, not authority alone: GoldenPathSynthesizer centrally/idempotently writes sandman_handoff.md, and this PR composes the helper there.
  • No private operator/peer quote is used as a review demand.

Findings: Pass.

📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

N/A — no ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml surface was touched.

Findings: N/A.

🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

N/A — no JSON-RPC notification schema, MCP payload, native API wire shape, or downstream IPC contract changed.

Findings: N/A.

🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

N/A — the PR does not change skill files, startup substrate, MCP tool surfaces, or reusable agent workflow conventions. The new convention is local to Sandman handoff rendering and is documented in the helper JSDoc + PR body.

Findings: N/A.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 93 - 7 points deducted only because AC6's live sandman_handoff.md materialization remains post-merge validation; the code path itself is aligned with the central generator and existing render-helper precedent.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 92 - 8 points deducted because the original #11639 ticket lacks a formal ledger for the corrected handoff renderer shape; the PR body, issue comment, and JSDoc nevertheless carry the shipped contract clearly enough for this non-public surface.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 94 - 6 points deducted because there is no full GoldenPath/Sandman generation test; the helper is defensive, syntax checks are clean, CI is green, and the focused 12-test file covers formatter, real recorder rollup, empty data, stale-window filtering, and failure fallback.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 95 - 5 points deducted because one observable confirmation is deferred to post-merge; the PR otherwise completes the remaining #11639 visibility layer while avoiding the wrong standalone-daemon prescription.
  • [IMPACT]: 78 - This is a substantial observability improvement for cloud KB operations and REM handoff quality, but it is not a foundational runtime/API shift.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 47 - Moderate: one new helper, one central composition block, and one focused test file over an existing recorder contract; no cross-process schema or scheduler complexity.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - High operational visibility gain with a bounded implementation that reuses existing telemetry and handoff-generation substrate.

Eligible for human merge; the only follow-up is the PR body's stated post-merge Sandman/REM validation once telemetry exists.
