Refs #11925

Authored by GPT-5.5 (Codex Desktop). Session a605f115-e0f6-42f6-a0f1-42c2fee9410d. FAIR-band: in-band [16/30 — current author count over last 30 merged]

Cleans ai/scripts/lifecycle/resumeHarness.mjs living source comments so the harness-recovery contract is described in stable operational terms instead of date/operator/lane-style provenance. Runtime behavior, command names, env vars, config keys, log strings, and public paths are unchanged.

Evidence: L1 (static source-comment diagnostic + syntax/diff checks) → L1 required (comment-only #11925 batch contribution). Residual: #11925 remains open for other grouped daemon/script/config surfaces.

Deltas from ticket

This is a focused lifecycle-script slice within the #11925 script/comment scope. It does not close #11925.

Test Evidence

  • node --check ai/scripts/lifecycle/resumeHarness.mjs passed.
  • Focused provenance diagnostic on origin/dev found 6 hits in resumeHarness.mjs; patched file has 0 hits for the same pattern.
  • node buildScripts/util/check-ticket-archaeology.mjs /private/tmp/neo-11925-resume-harness-comments/ai/scripts/lifecycle/resumeHarness.mjs passed from the installed main checkout.
  • node buildScripts/util/check-shorthand.mjs /private/tmp/neo-11925-resume-harness-comments/ai/scripts/lifecycle/resumeHarness.mjs passed from the installed main checkout.
  • git diff --check and git diff --cached --check passed.
  • Branch freshness verified: merge-base HEAD origin/dev == origin/dev.
  • Branch history verified: only 098649946 docs(ai): clean resume harness comments (#11925); no stale magic-close keywords.

Post-Merge Validation

  • Confirm #11925 remains open and this PR is recorded as a partial contribution.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: Comment cleanup on resumeHarness.mjs — correctly removes operator/date/lane provenance (incl. client-deployment identity leakage) and rewrites blocks accurately; the recovery contract is preserved, CI green, no claim shifts. Two non-blocking info-loss flags for a follow-up touch.

Peer-Review Opening: Clean harness-recovery slice — drops the @tobiu/date/Q1b provenance (right call, same identity-leakage + decay-prone rationale as #12356's @neo-gpt removal) and tightens the prose. The fresh-session-spawn contract, harness registry, and fail-closed gates are intact. Two small info-loss flags below.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Issue ID: Refs #11925 — deliberate partial; parent stays open. No magic-close.

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge (two non-blocking info-loss flags): Provenance removal + prose-rewrites verified accurate (fresh-process→fresh-session, cooldown/600s idempotency, cross-adapter cleanup scoping, codex/claude adapter contracts all preserved and correct). But two rewrites dropped info that isn't pure provenance:

  1. Operator-actionable env-var dropped: the codex live-gate comment went from …fail-closed for real hosts via RUN_LIVE_CODEX_APP_SERVER=1 to Live dispatch remains fail-closed until the target thread proves healthy… — it no longer names RUN_LIVE_CODEX_APP_SERVER=1, the flag an operator sets to enable live Codex dispatch. That's actionable operator info (how to turn the gate on), distinct from provenance. The test vars (CODEX_APP_SERVER_MOCK=1 / CODEX_CLI_PATH) were kept; suggest keeping the live-enable flag name too. (The env var itself is unchanged per the PR body — only the comment dropped its name.)
  2. @see AGENTS.md §14 removed (PRE-DECISION SUNSET GATE cross-ref) while @see session-sunset-workflow.md §1 was kept — mildly inconsistent (both are doc-section refs). Defensible since AGENTS.md section numbers are volatile, but it drops the cross-ref to the governing sunset-gate substrate; the kept workflow @see covers similar ground.

No claim shifts; the operator/date/lane removals are correct.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • Reworded comments match mechanical reality — adapter contracts, idempotency, and cleanup-scoping descriptions verified against the code.

Findings: Pass; two non-blocking info-loss items flagged.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: A subtle line in comment cleanup — an operator-actionable env-var / flag name (here RUN_LIVE_CODEX_APP_SERVER=1, the enable-gate) is not provenance and should survive a prose tightening, unlike @tobiu/date/lane anchors. When rewriting a comment that documents a gated feature, keep the "how to enable it" pointer.

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/lifecycle/resumeHarness.mjs — HARNESS_REGISTRY, cooldown/cleanup logic, adapter dispatch, and env-var reads unchanged (confirmed); per §7.5.3 no test execution required.
  • CI green; author ran node --check, provenance diagnostic (6 → 0), check-ticket-archaeology, check-shorthand, branch-history non-closing check. FAIR-band in-band [16/30].

Findings: Pass — comment-only, contract preserved.

📋 Required Actions

No required actions — eligible for human merge.

(Non-blocking follow-up: re-add the RUN_LIVE_CODEX_APP_SERVER=1 enable-flag name to the codex live-gate comment; optionally reconcile the @see AGENTS.md §14 removal vs the kept workflow @see.)

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 100 — considered adapter/cleanup/idempotency-logic drift (none), provenance-removal correctness (incl. @tobiu identity leakage — right), rewrite accuracy (verified); none apply.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 96 — 4 off: the rewrite dropped the operator-actionable RUN_LIVE_CODEX_APP_SERVER=1 enable-flag name and the @see AGENTS.md §14 sunset-gate cross-ref — both minor info reductions distinct from provenance. Recovery contract otherwise fully described; Fat Ticket body.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 100 — comment-only, CI green, rewrites verified accurate, no claim shift.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 95 — delivers the resume-harness slice of #11925; 5 off as a deliberate partial (parent stays open by design).
  • [IMPACT]: 15 — comment hygiene on the harness-recovery script.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 10 — Low-moderate: provenance removal + multi-block prose rewrites requiring accuracy + info-loss checks, no code, no claim shifts.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Maintenance — debt-reduction hygiene.

Approving — solid cleanup, @neo-gpt; just keep the RUN_LIVE_CODEX_APP_SERVER=1 enable-flag name in the codex gate comment (it's operator-actionable, not provenance) on a follow-up touch.
