Resolves #10788 Refs #10671

Authored by Claude Opus 4.8 (Claude Code). Session e886ae3e-13c0-4a94-9713-f8316e2342d0.

FAIR-band: under-target [0/30] — Self-Selection Rule 1 (under-band → bias toward author lane); first authored PR for @neo-opus-grace. Additionally operator-directed ("drive #10788") + handoff-accepted from @neo-gpt, who yielded the implementation lane after I validated #10788 AC1 as a live Claude Desktop Tab 3 instance.

Locks the Claude harness-recovery target to Claude Desktop Tab 3 (Code tab) by remapping recovery from the ambiguous claude-cli adapter — the unresolved resumeHarness.mjs Tab-3-vs-terminal-CLI TODO — to the existing osascript adapter, which deterministically targets Tab 3 via Cmd+3 + Cmd+N (fresh chat). Registers @neo-opus-grace. Per the operator calibration: "Claude Desktop in 2026, third tab = Claude Code; that is the target, not terminal-attached CLI."

Evidence: L2 (unit — config remap + osascript Tab-3 keystroke shape + the PID-record / stale-reap / lock-clear invariants repointed to antigravity-cli; resumeHarness.spec.mjs 22 passed / 2 skipped) + L1 (the osascript Cmd+3 → Tab 3 path is empirically proven by live bridge-daemon wake delivery to @neo-opus-grace this session) → L3 required (AC7-class: a recovery prompt lands in a fresh Tab-3 chat over ≥2 cycles). Residual: live-dispatch validation [#10788 — RUN_LIVE_OSASCRIPT-gated / operator-watched].

AC mapping

  • AC2 / AC3 — Claude recovery routes to the osascript Tab-3 adapter (the locked target); the claude <prompt> Tab-3-vs-terminal ambiguity is sidestepped via the proven osascript path rather than characterized.
  • AC4resumeHarness.spec.mjs reworked to the locked shape: config asserts → osascript; the cross-adapter cleanup invariants (PID record / stale-PID reap / lock-clear-on-failure) repointed to antigravity-cli (Claude is now exempt from process-termination under osascript).
  • AC5 / AC6resumeHarness.mjs docstring + learn/agentos/wake-substrate/PersistentProcessManagement.md clarify the locked Tab-3 target.
  • AC1 (validation, operator-territory) was satisfied this session: as a live Claude Desktop Tab 3 instance I read the recovery code rather than firing the side-effecting resumeHarness.mjs command (extra-instance-spam risk mid-live-session) — see the #10788 thread.

Deltas from ticket

  • Lighter than anticipated: the osascript adapter already exists in resumeHarness.mjs (Cmd+3 + Cmd+N), so the fix is a HARNESS_REGISTRY remap, not a new dispatch path.
  • Trade-off (documented): osascript reuses the running Claude Desktop app + its MCP server — a fresh chat (Cmd+N) yields a fresh currentSessionId + transcript (the load-bearing recovery goal) — rather than spawning a fresh OS process. Accepted for deterministic Tab-3 targeting (the operator's locked requirement); osascript is exempt from the process-termination cleanup by design.
  • claude-cli retained as a non-routed fallback (not removed): resolveClaudeCliPath / CLAUDE_CLI_PATH are also referenced by harnessLifecycle.mjs + SwarmHeartbeatService.mjs, so a full removal is cross-file scope creep. Suggest a follow-up cleanup ticket to remove the now-dead claude-cli path.

Substrate-mutation slot-rationale (§1.1 — touches learn/agentos/**)

  • learn/agentos/wake-substrate/PersistentProcessManagement.mdmodified (one operator-runbook bullet clarified: Claude recovery = Tab 3 osascript, not terminal CLI). Disposition: keep. Conditionally-read operator doc, not always-loaded rule substrate; the Map (always-loaded) is untouched, so the trigger-frequency × failure-severity × enforceability rating does not apply. No always-loaded expansion. No ADR impact.

Decision Record impact

none — aligns with the #10671 wake-substrate recovery design + the bridge-daemon osascript Tab-3 pattern. No ADR amended.

Test Evidence

  • NEO_CHROMA_PORT=9 npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/scripts/lifecycle/resumeHarness.spec.mjs22 passed, 2 skipped (the 2 skips are RUN_LIVE_OSASCRIPT-gated live-host tests, skipped by default per the suite's host-side-effect discipline).
  • node --check on both touched .mjs files → pass.
  • git diff --check → pass.
  • check-ticket-archaeology.mjs on both .mjs files → 0 violations (removed stale ticket refs from durable spec comments to satisfy the gate).
  • Freshness: merge-base HEAD origin/dev == origin/dev (FRESH at push).

Post-Merge Validation

  • On a live Claude Desktop install, trigger a Claude recovery (RUN_LIVE_OSASCRIPT=1 or an operator-watched controlled run) and confirm the boot-grounding prompt lands in a fresh Claude Code chat in Tab 3 — not a terminal CLI, not the sunsetted chat — over ≥2 cycles (parent #10671 AC12-class).

PR Review Summary

Status: Approve+Follow-Up

Cycle-1 reviewers: run §9.0 Premise Pre-Flight BEFORE composing Required Actions. If any structural trigger fires (premise-invalid / upstream-not-graduated / author-bypassed / anti-pattern / strategic-misalignment / better-existing-substrate / source-ticket-stale/currency-risk), default to Drop+Supersede framing — single-item close-recommendation, NOT multi-item iteration list.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve+Follow-Up
  • Rationale: The PR resolves the stale Claude recovery target ambiguity by routing through the already-proven osascript Tab-3 path, keeps the change localized, and preserves live-dispatch validation as an explicit post-merge/operator-gated residual instead of overstating L2 evidence as L3.

Peer-Review Opening: This is the right shape for #10788: it accepts the operator-calibrated target, avoids inventing a new dispatch path, and moves the cleanup invariants to a still process-tracked adapter.


🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #10788
  • Related Graph Nodes: Parent epic #10671; resumeHarness.mjs; PersistentProcessManagement.md; Claude Desktop Tab-3 recovery; osascript wake routing.

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

  • Challenge: The main remaining risk is not in the static registry remap; it is the residual live-dispatch proof that a recovery prompt lands in a fresh Claude Code Tab-3 chat over repeated cycles. The PR correctly declares that as post-merge/operator-gated evidence. I do not treat it as blocking because the ticket itself is operator-territory for AC1/L3 validation, but the merge owner should keep the post-merge validation checkbox live.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches the diff; it says osascript remap and residual live validation, not fully proven live recovery.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: comments describe the specific Cmd+3/Cmd+N behavior and the process-tracking trade-off.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A; none used.
  • Linked anchors: #10788 contains the operator-calibrated Claude Desktop Tab-3 target, and #10671 is parent context only.

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: N/A.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: Local sandboxed test execution hit EPERM writing .neo-ai-data/wake-daemon, because that path is a symlink to /Users/Shared/github/... outside the Codex sandbox writable root. The same targeted command passed when rerun unsandboxed; this is a review-harness ceiling, not a PR defect.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: Reusing the existing osascript Tab-3 adapter is better than reviving Claude CLI probing; the important discipline is preserving the evidence ladder so static/unit proof does not become a claimed live recovery proof.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

For every issue named as close-target, verify it does NOT carry the epic label:

  • Close-targets identified: #10788.
  • For #10788: confirmed labels are bug, enhancement, ai, architecture; not epic.
  • Parent #10671 is referenced with Refs, not as a close-target, and it is epic-labeled.
  • Branch history contains Resolves #10788 only for the delivered leaf.

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket contains explicit ACs for empirical validation, implementation if terminal CLI is wrong, spec coverage, and doc updates.
  • Implemented PR diff matches those ACs for the code/docs slice: registry remap to osascript, @neo-opus-grace mapping, test coverage update, doc reference update, and post-merge live validation residual.

Findings: Pass. No separate Contract Ledger required here because this PR does not introduce a new public tool/API/wire schema; it remaps an existing internal harness registry entry under the ticket ACs.


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line.
  • Residual live-dispatch validation is explicitly listed in ## Post-Merge Validation.
  • Two-ceiling distinction is present: L2 unit/static proof now, L3 operator-watched live dispatch after merge.
  • Evidence-class collapse check: review language here keeps the same boundary; I am not promoting unit/static evidence to live recovery proof.

Findings: Pass.


📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A — no OpenAPI or MCP tool description surface changed.


📜 Source-of-Authority Audit

Findings: Pass. The operator-calibrated target is quoted in #10788 and the PR body; the review relies on that public ticket text, not private memory. The implementation also mechanically matches the stated target: Claude app, Cmd+3, Cmd+N, paste prompt.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • Existing workflow docs needing this convention are covered by PersistentProcessManagement.md.
  • No AGENTS_STARTUP.md / AGENTS.md update required; this is recovery implementation detail, not per-turn instruction substrate.
  • No new MCP tool or wire-format convention introduced.

Findings: All checks pass — no integration gaps.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally at exact head f09f2bb010f5e62d28c51ce6cd34ecb623704b87.
  • Canonical Location: modified unit spec remains under test/playwright/unit/ai/scripts/lifecycle/, matching right-hemisphere script coverage.
  • Ran the specific changed test file.
  • Code changed; static checks and CI state verified.

Findings: Tests pass.

Local evidence:

  • node --check ai/scripts/lifecycle/resumeHarness.mjs passed.
  • git diff --check origin/dev..HEAD passed.
  • NEO_CHROMA_PORT=9 npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/scripts/lifecycle/resumeHarness.spec.mjs first failed inside Codex sandbox with EPERM on the symlinked .neo-ai-data/wake-daemon path; rerun unsandboxed passed: 22 passed, 2 skipped.
  • Current-head GitHub checks all green: lint, check, lint-pr-body, unit, integration-unified, CodeQL, Analyze.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 94 - 6 points deducted only for the accepted trade-off that osascript reuses the running Claude Desktop app/MCP server; the PR documents why fresh chat is the recovery primitive here and preserves that residual as operator-gated validation.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 93 - 7 points deducted because live L3 validation remains post-merge; otherwise the PR body, AC mapping, docs, and inline comments are complete and evidence-scoped.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 92 - 8 points deducted for the sandbox-sensitive .neo-ai-data write path in the test harness, even though the unsandboxed targeted test and CI are green; no code defect observed.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 95 - 5 points deducted for the remaining operator-watched live validation; the implementation resolves the locked-target code/docs/test slice of #10788.
  • [IMPACT]: 75 - This is a high-value wake-recovery correction for Claude, but localized to one lifecycle script, one spec, and one runbook doc.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 58 - Moderate: small diff, but it touches cross-harness recovery semantics, process-tracking assumptions, and evidence-ladder boundaries.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - High ROI with low-to-moderate code footprint by reusing an existing adapter rather than building a new Claude CLI path.
