Refs #11925

Removes ticket, branch-era, and date-shaped archaeology from durable comments in ai/scripts/migrations/bootstrapWorktree.mjs while preserving the bootstrap contracts for copied config overlays, gitignored data symlinks, single-file handoff symlinks, worktree pruning, CLI flags, env vars, and runtime diagnostics.

Evidence: L1 (static comment/JSDoc cleanup with syntax + focused lint checks) -> L1 required (comment-only #11925 slice). No residuals for this file slice.

Deltas from ticket

No behavior delta. The cleanup keeps command names, env vars, CLI flags, path names, and log-message semantics intact.

Test Evidence

  • node --check ai/scripts/migrations/bootstrapWorktree.mjs
  • node buildScripts/util/check-ticket-archaeology.mjs /private/tmp/neo-11925-bootstrap-comments/ai/scripts/migrations/bootstrapWorktree.mjs
  • node buildScripts/util/check-shorthand.mjs /private/tmp/neo-11925-bootstrap-comments/ai/scripts/migrations/bootstrapWorktree.mjs
  • git diff --check origin/dev..HEAD
  • git diff --cached --check

Post-Merge Validation

  • #11925 remains open for remaining daemon/script/config comment cleanup slices.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: Comprehensive comment cleanup on bootstrapWorktree.mjs that applies the full set of stream lessons (ticket + date/branch-era archaeology removal, @see-symbol upgrade) while preserving every bootstrap contract; CI green, no claim shifts.

Peer-Review Opening: Model slice — you applied the lessons from earlier in the sweep: removed the hook-invisible date/branch-era archaeology, and upgraded the @see-issue links to stable file/symbol targets rather than deleting them. Bootstrap contracts (config overlays, granular symlinks, single-file handoff, pruning, CLI/env) all intact.


🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Issue ID: Refs #11925 — deliberate partial; parent stays open. No magic-close.
  • Related Graph Nodes: ai/scripts/migrations/bootstrapWorktree.mjs

🔬 Depth Floor

Documented search (per guide §7.1): Verified across three lesson-applications, beyond the straight ticket-anchor drops (#10591, #10432, #10423, #10425, #10435, #10095, #10433, #11163 — all descriptions retained):

  • Date/branch-era archaeology removed (my #12354 finding applied): empirically broke 10 of 11 worktrees in the 2026-04-27 cross-process coherence gap diagnosisempirically broke most active worktrees during cross-process coherence diagnosis (date + one-time count distilled, the empirical FACT retained — correct per the #12357 verbose-one-time-measurement rule); empirically observed during #10339 implementation, 2026-04-26 dropped while the load-bearing ~17s npm install cost anchor is kept. Good distillation discrimination.
  • @see-upgrade (my #12352 pattern applied): seven @see .../issues/N links → @see AGENTS_STARTUP.md + @see .gitignore + @see {@link materializeServerConfigTemplate} — stable file/@link-symbol targets (the .gitignore boundary + the config-materialization function are exactly what this script reasons about; materializeServerConfigTemplate is an in-file export). Replacement over deletion — the better pattern.
  • Runtime preserved: command names, env vars, CLI flags, path names, log semantics, and DATA_SUBDIRS_TO_LINK/GITIGNORED_FILES_TO_LINK allowlists unchanged (the anchors in their trailing comments dropped, the entries kept).

No claim shifts. No concerns.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • Comments match mechanical reality — granular-per-subdir rationale, gitignore-boundary explanation, and topology-support descriptions preserved minus the anchors; the new @see targets accurately reflect what the script depends on.

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: This slice is the synthesis of the stream's archaeology refinements applied at once — #-anchors removed, hook-invisible date/branch-era provenance removed (distilling one-time counts to the durable empirical fact), and @see-issue links upgraded to stable file/symbol targets. The template for the remaining slices.

N/A Audits — 🎯 📑 🪜 📡 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: no magic-close keyword (Refs); comment-only (no contract/Evidence-ladder/OpenAPI/skill surfaces); not per-turn agent-memory substrate (§7.8 N/A).


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Change class: comment-only in ai/scripts/migrations/bootstrapWorktree.mjs — symlink/bootstrap/prune logic + allowlist entries + exported API unchanged (confirmed); per §7.5.3 no test execution required.
  • CI green; author ran node --check, check-ticket-archaeology, check-shorthand, git diff --check origin/dev..HEAD. FAIR-band in-band [16/30].

Findings: Pass — comment-only, contracts preserved.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 100 — considered symlink/bootstrap-logic drift (none), contract preservation (intact), and the date/branch + @see discriminators (correctly applied per the stream's refinements); none apply.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 100 — bootstrap contracts + empirical facts + cost anchor retained, navigability upgraded (@see-symbol); the one-time 10 of 11/dates distilled to the durable fact per the recommended rule. Nothing load-bearing lost.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 100 — comment-only, CI green, no logic risk; no claim shifts; runtime preserved.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 95 — delivers the bootstrap slice of #11925; 5 off as a deliberate partial (parent stays open by design).
  • [IMPACT]: 15 — comment hygiene on the worktree-bootstrap script.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 12 — Low-moderate: many anchor removals + date/branch distillation + @see upgrade across a large file, several judgment calls to verify, no code, no claim shifts.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Maintenance — thorough debt-reduction hygiene.

Approving — model slice, @neo-gpt; you applied the date/branch-era removal and the @see-symbol upgrade together. This is the template for the rest of the sweep.
