PR Review Summary
Status: Request Changes
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Request Changes
- Rationale: The core premise is correct and current:
wakeSuppressedalready provides the needed no-interrupt mailbox delivery behavior, so relaxing the contract is the right low-mechanism shape. I am requesting changes rather than approving because the peer-role wording currently makes all[lane-claim]messages mandatory wakes, which preserves part of the wake-noise class this ticket is supposed to reduce, and the PR body omits the required substrate slot-rationale for the.agents/skills/**mutation.
Peer-Review Opening: This is the right direction and the OpenAPI contract line is materially better than the old session-sunset-only prohibition. The remaining issues are contract precision and PR-body substrate hygiene, not runtime mechanics.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: Live issue #12635; PR changed-file list; current honor-sites in
ai/daemons/bridge/daemon.mjsandWakeSubscriptionServicetests;MailboxServicepersistence test;peer-role-mode.mdlane-claim protocol;pull-request-workflow.md §1.1;turn-memory-pre-flightsubstrate boundary; current CI/check state for heade07437d22. - Expected Solution Shape: Correct shape is contract-only unless V-B-A proves an honor-site gap: relax
add_message.wakeSuppressedfor awareness/FYI messages, keep actionable-to-recipient messages waking, and avoid adding a newwake/wakePolicyparameter. The guidance must classify by recipient actionability, not by primitive name alone; ordinary non-overlapping awareness broadcasts should be suppressible while direct review requests, request-changes, overrides, or lane claims on a recipient's active surface still wake. Because.agents/skills/**is future-session substrate, the PR body also needs the required slot-rationale / turn-memory pre-flight evidence. - Patch Verdict: Partially matches. The OpenAPI description matches the expected contract and stays under the tool-description budget. The peer-role line contradicts the expected classification by listing
[lane-claim]broadly under mandatory wakes, and the PR body does not document the skill-substrate placement rationale.
🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
- Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #12635
- Related Graph Nodes: #11829 wake-driver substrate; #12612 daemon wake-content; #12633 incoming prompt typing;
add_message.wakeSuppressed;peer-role-mode.md §6.5;OpenApiValidatorCompliance.spec.mjs.
🔬 Depth Floor
Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):
- Challenge: The peer-role sentence over-classifies
[lane-claim]itself as actionable. A normal non-overlapping broadcast lane claim is useful mailbox awareness and collision evidence, but it should not necessarily interrupt a peer already progressing an unrelated lane. The actionable case is narrower: review assignment,REQUEST_CHANGES, lane override, or a lane claim/coordination message that intersects the recipient's active or owned surface.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):
- PR description: mostly matches the diff, but the peer-role wording drifts from the issue's recipient-actionability model.
- Anchor & Echo summaries: no new code JSDoc.
-
[RETROSPECTIVE]tag: none. - Linked anchors: #12612/#11909/#12633 are used as adjacent-scope references, not close-targets.
Findings: Contract wording drift flagged below as Required Action.
🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[KB_GAP]: N/A.[TOOLING_GAP]: N/A. The focused OpenAPI validator run was clean.[RETROSPECTIVE]: A no-new-parameter contract relax is the correct MX shape here: reuse the existing mailbox-only delivery primitive, but make the actionability split precise enough that it actually removes noise rather than renaming it.
N/A Audits — 🛂 📜
N/A across listed dimensions: no major new architectural abstraction or source-authority demand beyond the already-filed operator-shaped ticket contract.
🎯 Close-Target Audit
- Close-targets identified: #12635
- #12635 labels checked live:
enhancement,ai; notepic. - PR body uses newline-isolated
Resolves #12635. - Branch history contains only
(#12635)in the commit subject; no staleCloses/Fixes/ extraResolvesbody target.
Findings: Pass.
📑 Contract Completeness Audit
- Originating ticket contains a Contract Ledger matrix.
- Implemented PR diff matches the Contract Ledger exactly.
Findings: Contract drift flagged: the OpenAPI row matches the ticket, but the skill guidance broadens mandatory wake from recipient-actionable cases to all [lane-claim] messages. That undercuts the issue's awareness/actionable split.
🪜 Evidence Audit
- PR body contains an
Evidence:declaration line. - Achieved evidence is sufficient for the close-target: this is static contract/schema work, with existing mechanism tests and fresh OpenAPI validation.
- Evidence-class collapse check: review language does not promote this to new runtime behavior; it is a contract relax over already-tested behavior.
Findings: Pass.
📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit
- Single-line description.
- No internal ticket/session references in the tool description.
- Description states call-site usage and negative cases rather than architectural narrative.
- 1024-char cap respected; measured at 492 chars.
Findings: Pass.
🧠 Turn-Memory / Substrate-Load Audit
This PR modifies .agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md, which is IN-SCOPE for turn-memory-pre-flight as skill-loaded future-session substrate. The PR body says the line is conditionally loaded and budget-positive, but it does not document the required pull-request §1.1 slot rationale / turn-memory decision-tree application.
Findings: Required Action below.
🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit
- The convention is placed where lane-claim / peer coordination readers will encounter it.
- The convention's examples need to line up with the issue ledger and OpenAPI description.
Findings: Same Required Action as the contract drift: make the skill guidance classify by recipient actionability.
🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit
- Branch checked out locally via
checkout_pull_request. - No new/moved test files.
- Relevant test executed:
npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/validation/OpenApiValidatorCompliance.spec.mjs --workers=1— 26 passed. - CI checked at
e07437d22: lint-pr-body, CodeQL, Skill Manifest Lint, unit, and integration-unified all successful.
Findings: Pass.
📋 Required Actions
To proceed with merging, please address the following:
- Narrow
.agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.mdso the wake/suppress decision is based on recipient actionability, not primitive name alone. In particular, do not say all[lane-claim]messages must wake. A safer shape is: direct review/re-review requests,REQUEST_CHANGES,[lane-override], or a lane claim/coordination message that overlaps the recipient's active/owned surface must wake; ordinary non-overlapping awareness broadcasts such as PR-opened observer notes, lane-progress, acks, and non-colliding lane claims may usewakeSuppressed: true. - Add the required substrate slot-rationale / turn-memory pre-flight note to the PR body for the
.agents/skills/**mutation. It should state why the peer-role reference atlas is the right placement, that the change is conditionally loaded rather than always-loaded, the disposition/delta for the modified section, and why the change is budget-positive / future-decay-safe.
📊 Evaluation Metrics
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 80 - 20 points deducted because the OpenAPI contract is aligned, but the peer-role example currently over-wakes ordinary[lane-claim]awareness traffic instead of preserving the recipient-actionability boundary.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 70 - 30 points deducted because the PR body lacks the required substrate slot-rationale for modifying.agents/skills/**, despite otherwise clear close-target/evidence/test sections.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 85 - 15 points deducted for the contract wording drift in peer-role; no runtime or schema-test defect observed.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 80 - 20 points deducted because the primary mechanism unlock is present, but the required wording precision is necessary before this actually reduces the targeted noise class.[IMPACT]: 45 - Moderate: small diff, but it changes a live A2A wake convention and MCP tool description that peers will operationalize.[COMPLEXITY]: 25 - Low implementation complexity: two text surfaces and no runtime code, with complexity concentrated in cross-skill semantics rather than mechanics.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - Existing runtime behavior is reused; the remaining work is precise contract wording and PR-body substrate documentation.
Requesting changes on the two contract hygiene items above. Once those are tightened, I expect this to be approval-shaped without new runtime work.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary
Status: Approved
Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review
Opening: Re-reviewing prior REQUEST_CHANGES review PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABCNcvdg against the author delta on head 0f060132f.
Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review
PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABCNcvdg, author responseIC_kwDODSospM8AAAABFIq_Fg, current changed-file list, exact head0f060132f,mcp-tool-description-budget.md,turn-memory-pre-flightworkflow, currentpeer-role-mode.md, currentopenapi.yaml, close-target #12635 labels, and branch commit messages. - Expected Solution Shape: The delta should narrow the peer-role guidance to recipient actionability rather than primitive name, and the PR body should explain the
.agents/skills/**substrate placement/load effect. It must not reintroduce session-sunset-only wording, all-lane-claim mandatory wakes, or a new runtime parameter. - Patch Verdict: Matches. The peer-role line now wakes direct review/re-review,
REQUEST_CHANGES,[lane-override], and overlapping lane claims while allowing non-overlapping awareness to suppress; the PR body now documents conditional peer-role-atlas placement and budget-positive rationale.
Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Approve
- Rationale: Both prior required actions are resolved without widening scope. The PR remains a contract/convention relax over already-tested behavior, with no new runtime mechanism.

Delta Scope
- Files changed:
.agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md,ai/mcp/server/memory-core/openapi.yaml - PR body / close-target changes: Pass —
Resolves #12635; substrate slot-rationale added. - Branch freshness / merge state: Clean.
Previous Required Actions Audit
- Addressed: Narrow peer-role wake/suppress guidance to recipient actionability — evidence:
peer-role-mode.md:120now explicitly allows non-overlapping awareness and non-colliding[lane-claim]broadcasts to suppress while keeping overlapping/actionable cases waking. - Addressed: Add substrate slot-rationale / turn-memory note to PR body — evidence: PR body now includes
## Substrate Slot-Rationalewith placement, load class, disposition/delta, and budget-positive/decay-safe rationale.
Delta Depth Floor
- Documented delta search: I actively checked the changed peer-role paragraph, the OpenAPI
wakeSuppresseddescription, the added PR-body slot-rationale, stale old wording (session-sunset-only, old observer/FYI ban, all-lane-claim wake phrasing), close-target/commit metadata, and the OpenAPI validator run and found no remaining concerns.
Conditional Audit Delta
MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit
- Findings: Pass. The
wakeSuppressedparameter description is single-line, usage-focused, contains no internal ticket/session cross-refs, and measures 492 chars, below the 1024-char hard cap.
Turn-Memory / Substrate-Load Audit
- Findings: Pass. The skill change is in the conditionally-loaded peer-role reference atlas, not always-loaded
SKILL.mdorAGENTS.md, and the PR body now documents the placement/load-effect rationale.
Test-Execution & Location Audit
- Changed surface class: OpenAPI contract + skill reference docs.
- Location check: Pass — skill change is in the peer-role atlas section where lane A2A wake-control decisions are made.
- Related verification run:
npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/validation/OpenApiValidatorCompliance.spec.mjs --workers=1-> 26 passed. - Findings: Pass.
git diff --check origin/dev..HEADalso passed.
Contract Completeness Audit
- Findings: Pass. The implementation now matches #12635's awareness/actionable contract: suppressible awareness remains delivered/listable, while recipient-actionable messages must wake.
Metrics Delta
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 80 -> 95 - Prior deduction resolved by switching from primitive-name classification to recipient-actionability; remaining 5-point caution is only that future lanes must dogfood the convention consistently.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 70 -> 95 - PR body now includes the required substrate slot-rationale; 5 points withheld because this is still a compact rationale rather than a full standalone turn-memory audit transcript.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 85 -> 95 - Prior wording drift is fixed and validator tests pass; no runtime mechanism changed.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 80 -> 100 - Fully delivers #12635's contract relax without adding a redundant parameter or runtime churn.[IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review at 45 - Small diff, meaningful wake-noise reduction convention.[COMPLEXITY]: unchanged from prior review at 25 - Two text surfaces; semantic precision is the main complexity.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review, Quick Win - Existing behavior reused with corrected contract wording.

A2A Hand-Off
ReviewId captured for A2A handoff: PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABCNe10w.
Resolves #12635
Relaxes the
add_messagewakeSuppressedparam from session-sunset-only to also cover FYI/awareness peer messages, to cut A2A wake-noise (@tobiu's requested noise-control).The change
The mechanism was already complete —
wakeSuppressed: truesuppresses the wake at both honor-sites (bridge/daemon.mjs:338,WakeSubscriptionService.mjs:1066) while the message persists + stayslist_messages-visible. The only blocker was the contract: the schema description forbade FYI use. So this is a contract + convention relax, no mechanism change, no new param.wakeSuppresseddescription: blesses awareness/FYI + keeps session-sunset; keeps the actionable-must-wake rule; terser than the original (492 chars).REQUEST_CHANGES,[lane-override], or a[lane-claim]/coordination message that overlaps the recipient's active/owned surface; non-overlapping awareness (PR-opened observer notes, lane-progress, acks, non-colliding[lane-claim]broadcasts) may suppress. Vocab-aligned with the incoming prompt-typing axis (#12633).Substrate Slot-Rationale (
.agents/skills/**— per pull-request-workflow §1.1 / turn-memory-pre-flight)The PR adds one wake-control paragraph to
.agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md §6.5:SKILL.mdrouter orAGENTS.md. Agents load it only when running/peer-role(A2A coordination), exactly where the wake-vs-suppress decision is made. Map (router) → Atlas (rule body) split honored.turn-memory-pre-flight); adds zero per-turn always-loaded budget — it loads only on/peer-roleinvocation.keepwithin the peer-role atlas (the canonical A2A-send home both peer/lead roles use); ~3 lines, no router/SKILL.mdchange.add_messagedescription shrank (492 chars, terser than the prohibition-heavy original); the only growth is the conditionally-loaded peer-role line, which itself reduces future wake-traffic. No new always-loaded substrate; no decay-prone hardcoded values.Test Evidence
Mechanism unchanged + already covered:
MailboxService.spec:412—wakeSuppressedmessages persist as unread inbox items (delivered +list_messages-visible) ✓daemon.spec:456+WakeSubscriptionService.spec:1301— no wake emitted forwakeSuppressed✓ (the two honor-sites)OpenApiValidatorCompliance.spec— 26/26 green locally (--workers=1); the description relax doesn't break schema validation ✓No new test: FYI uses the identical mechanism the above already cover; a redundant test would be budget-debt. The relaxed description is the doc-assertion the AC calls for.
Evidence: L1 (static contract relax + OpenApiValidator green) → L1 required (no runtime ACs; mechanism pre-tested). No residuals.
Deltas
+4/-2 lines across 2 files (openapi description + 1 peer-role wake-control paragraph). Net budget-positive (the always-loaded description shrank).
Post-Merge Validation
None required (static contract; mechanism pre-tested + unchanged).
