Resolves #12729 Related: #12696

Authored by GPT-5 Codex (Codex Desktop). Session e8f07ef9-ef7e-4815-8ff4-7abe13720621.

Adds an explicit v13 Upgrade / Migration Notes section to the release notes and strengthens the headline Upgrade Path line. The new wording matches the v12.1/v11.24 precedent by answering compatibility directly while preserving the v13 Brain-on-Body thesis.

Evidence: L1 (static release-note diff plus release-index parser validation) -> L1 required (docs-only release-note ACs). No residuals.

Deltas from ticket

  • Kept the patch at the top of resources/content/release-notes/v13.0.0.md so it does not duplicate #12723 appendix-count work or #12727 SEO work.
  • Left isDraft, publishedAt, release publishing, and generated appendix data untouched.
  • Added a precise Body/Grid boundary: v13 records shipped SortZone body-resolution evidence, while #9491, #9872, and #9492 remain the follow-up path for full multi-body orchestration and centralized selection.

Test Evidence

  • git diff --check
  • node buildScripts/docs/index/release.mjs --output /tmp/neo-releases-12729.json
  • node -e "const data=require(/tmp/neo-releases-12729.json); console.log(JSON.stringify(data.find(x=>x.id==='13.0.0'), null, 2));"

The release indexer found 167 release notes and produced a valid 13.0.0 entry pointing at resources/content/release-notes/v13.0.0.md.

Post-Merge Validation

  • If #12724 lands first, verify the v13 top Upgrade / Migration Notes section and the appendix-count refresh both remain present after merge.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

πŸͺœ Strategic-Fit Decision

Per Β§9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: A precise, apex-aligned migration note that resolves #12729 β€” it draws the right distinction (Body/runtime apps stay on the v12.x continuity anchor; the v13 migration surface is the maintainer/operator Agent-OS adoption) and keeps the Body/Grid release-boundary honest (#9491/#9872/#9492 still tracked). Accurate; no blocking defects.

Peer-Review Opening: Clean migration note that gets the two things that matter right: it reassures app-authors (the Body is the compatibility anchor; no grid/store/VDOM rewrite) and it's honest about the Body/Grid boundary (SortZone shipped, but View-owned multi-body orchestration still in-flight).


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #12729 ("Clarify v13 upgrade path"), the apex ("existing Body/runtime work continues; v13 makes the Brain operational"), the existing frontmatter + Body/Grid section, the in-progress grid tickets (#9491/#9872/#9492), and the recent SortZone merge (#12708).
  • Expected Solution Shape: a migration note distinguishing Body-continuity (app-authors unaffected) from Brain/Agent-OS adoption (the operator migration), apex-aligned, with an honest Body/Grid boundary.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The note nails the distinction + the Body/Grid boundary; the "Upgrade Path" frontmatter is updated to match.

πŸ•ΈοΈ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #12729
  • Related Graph Nodes: #12696 (epic), #9491/#9872/#9492 (grid follow-ups cited), #12708 (the shipped SortZone)

πŸ”¬ Depth Floor

Challenge (non-blocking): Para 3 (the Body/Grid boundary) overlaps the existing "Body, Grid, and UI Work Continue" section β€” both flag the grid-in-progress. It's complementary (the migration note frames it as an adopter expectation; the section as work-status), but as the grid lands (#9491/#9872/#9492), both + the Release-Cut Checklist's Body/Grid item need a coordinated update (the "not a completed migration" caveat removed). Minor β€” flagging the coordination, not a gate. Tiny wording nit too: "the major v13 adoption work is operational for teams enabling the Agent OS" reads slightly compressed β€” optional polish.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide Β§7.4): Pass β€” verified the claims: the Body-continuity (apex-aligned), the maintainer/operator Brain-adoption surface (Memory Core / Native Edge Graph / Dream / wake+A2A / GitHub Workflow / ProjectV2 / skills β€” all real v13 substrate), the SortZone "shipped" (#12708 merged), the grid-orchestration "still tracked" (#9491/#9872/#9492 open). No overshoot.


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Resolves #12729 (documentation, enhancement, ai β€” NOT epic). Valid.

πŸ§ͺ Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • No tests needed β€” release-notes prose (docs change per Β§7.5.3); lint-pr-body green; CI all green.

N/A Audits β€” πŸ“‘ πŸ“‘ πŸ”—

N/A: release-note prose only.


πŸ“‹ Required Actions

No required actions β€” eligible for human merge (docs micro-change exemption). The Body/Grid-boundary update (when the grid lands) is already tracked in the Release-Cut Checklist; the wording nit is optional.


πŸ“Š Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 100 β€” perfectly apex-aligned (Body-continuity vs Brain/Agent-OS adoption); the Body/Grid boundary precise (SortZone shipped, orchestration tracked).
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 95 β€” accurate + well-anchored (#9491/#9872/#9492, #12708); lint-pr-body green; 5 deducted for the minor "Upgrade Path" wording + the Body/Grid-section overlap.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 100 β€” docs, no defects; claims verified (SortZone #12708 shipped, grid in-progress, Body-continuity accurate); CI green.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 β€” fully resolves #12729 (clarify the upgrade path).
  • [IMPACT]: 60 β€” adopter expectations-setting (the Body-continuity vs Brain-adoption clarity); useful for adopters.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 20 β€” Low: +11 lines of release-notes prose; no code.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win.

Precise and honest β€” the Body/Grid boundary discipline (not over-claiming the grid as complete) is exactly right. Approving.
