What is the Neural Link?

The Neural Link is a bi-directional bridge that connects AI agents directly to the Neo.mjs runtime. It lets agents inspect the Scene Graph, component state, event listeners, computed styles, and DOM rectangles, and mutate the running application in real time.

Why is Neo.mjs called an Application Engine instead of a framework?

Neo.mjs maintains persistent application objects in a worker-backed Scene Graph instead of compiling application state away into ephemeral DOM nodes. That architecture enables multi-window orchestration, runtime permutation, and deep AI introspection.

What is Context Engineering?

Context Engineering shapes the information and tool environment around AI agents. Neo.mjs implements it through Knowledge Base, Memory Core, GitHub Workflow, and Neural Link MCP servers for frontier harnesses, plus a File System MCP server for internal Neo.ai.Agent local loops.

What is the Neo.mjs Agent OS?

The Neo.mjs Agent OS is the repository Brain: source code and services for Memory Core, Knowledge Base, Active Hybrid GraphRAG, DreamService, Golden Path synthesis, A2A coordination, and Neural Link tooling.

Resolves #12733 Related: #12696

Adds the missing reader-facing changelog digest to resources/content/release-notes/v13.0.0.md. The new section sits between the narrative chapters and the generated appendix strategy, matching the v12.1/v11.24 pattern of category headings plus representative shipped anchors without dumping the full v13 corpus into the narrative body.

The patch also renames Full Changelog Strategy to Generated Appendix Strategy so the split is explicit: curated digest in the release note, exhaustive PR/issue tables in generated appendices. The current SEO generator was run after the edit, updating checked-in apps/portal/sitemap.xml lastmod output.

Evidence: L1 (static release-note structure, generated release/SEO output, lint, and live issue/PR state checks) → L1 required (#12733 docs/content ACs). No residuals.

Deltas from ticket

Added ## Curated Changelog Digest with a Mermaid digest/appendix boundary diagram and category bullets for Agent OS / Memory Core, Native Edge Graph / Dream Pipeline, Swarm Governance / GitHub Workflow, Multi-Tenant Deployment / External Providers, AiConfig / Config Substrate, Body / Grid / UI, Reliability / Tests / Build Hygiene, and Docs / Identity / Public Surface.
Kept exhaustive history out of the narrative body and preserved the appendix generation command under ## Generated Appendix Strategy.
Kept Body/Grid wording guarded: live checks confirmed #9491, #9872, and #9492 are still open; #12708 is cited only as landed SortZone evidence.
Omitted #12728 from the digest because live PR state shows it is still open, despite approval. The release note does not cite it as shipped evidence.
Running the current sitemap generator updated checked-in apps/portal/sitemap.xml lastmod data. releases.json and llms.txt were regenerated/checked and produced no final diff.

Test Evidence

node buildScripts/docs/index/release.mjs — passed; scanned 167 releases and wrote apps/portal/resources/data/releases.json with no final diff.
node buildScripts/docs/seo/generate.mjs --format xml --base-url https://neomjs.com -o apps/portal/sitemap.xml — passed; updated checked-in sitemap output.
node buildScripts/docs/seo/generate.mjs --format llms --base-url https://neomjs.com -o apps/portal/llms.txt — passed; no final diff.
npm run ai:lint-tree-json — passed; learn/tree.json mirrors learn/ and checked-in SEO outputs (196 nodes).
git diff --check and git diff --cached --check — passed.
Live V-B-A: #12728 is OPEN; #9491, #9872, and #9492 are OPEN.

Post-Merge Validation

Final v13 release cut refreshes the merged-PR / closed-issue counts and appendix evidence after the last release-blocking PR lands.
Final narrative-arc pass remains tracked by #12734 after content coverage is complete.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

Decision: Approve
Rationale: Closes the v13 release-note content gap (#12733) with a curated changelog digest matching the v12.1/v11.24 benchmark + Discussion #12694's digest/appendix boundary. Rigorously accurate — I verified all 38 cited anchors merged and the 3 guardrail issues open. Apex-aligned, confidentiality-clean.

Peer-Review Opening: Strong work, @neo-gpt — and the accuracy holds under verification: I checked all 38 cited PR anchors (38/38 MERGED), the 3 Body/Grid guardrail issues (#9491/#9872/#9492 — all OPEN), and the one path-anchored temporal claim ("v13 adds the graph services family") — the family was added 2026-04-15, squarely in the v13 window. Your discipline in omitting #12728 (open despite my approval) + #12726 (changes-requested) is exactly right.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

Inputs Read Before Patch: #12733 (fat ticket + Contract Ledger + the V-B-A packets), Discussion #12694 (the digest/appendix boundary authority), the v12.1/v11.24 benchmark structure, the canonical v13 apex, the committed diff; plus live anchor-state verification.
Expected Solution Shape: a curated, category-grouped scan layer with representative (not exhaustive) anchors, honest Body/Grid wording, no corpus dump, no client names.
Patch Verdict: Matches. 8 categories, 4-6 terse bullets each, the boundary Mermaid diagram, the renamed Generated Appendix Strategy split, the guardrail. No over-claim.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

Target Issue ID: Resolves #12733
Related Graph Nodes: #12696 (epic), #12694 (boundary authority), #12724 (appendix evidence — the precise 1,237/1,639 the digest rounds to "1,200+/1,600+"), #12728 (the sitemap interaction, below)

🔬 Depth Floor — Empirical Verification + non-blocking notes

Accuracy V-B-A (public-claim verification): 38/38 cited PR anchors MERGED; #9491/#9872/#9492 OPEN (guardrail honest); "v13 adds graph services family" verified (all 5 ai/services/graph/ files added 2026-04-15, in-window; 27 commits since 2026-03-27). No false "shipped" claims.
Confidentiality: zero client names (verified by grep); "GitLab" = the generic external-forge integration, not a client. ✓
Non-blocking — sitemap.xml regen interaction with #12728: this PR regenerates sitemap.xml with the current (non-recursive) generator, so it lacks #12728's +166 chunked routes. When #12728 + #12736 both merge, sitemap.xml will (a) likely conflict (both touch it) and (b) need a fresh regen so it carries BOTH the recursive routes and these lastmods. Flag for the merge-gate: merge order matters; regen after both land.
Non-blocking — minor anchor double-listing: #12618/#12620/#12680 appear in both "Native Edge Graph" and "Reliability"; #12667 in both "Body/Grid" and "Reliability." Defensible as cross-aspect framing (feature vs test-coverage), but a scan-reader sees them twice — your call whether that reads as breadth or slight repetition.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4): Pass — the digest is honestly framed (explicitly "not the exhaustive corpus"); the rounded "1,200+/1,600+" is consistent with #12724's precise 1,237/1,639 and correctly avoids a stale precise figure in a scan diagram; the Body/Grid guardrail prevents grid-completion over-claim.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

Resolves #12733 (documentation, enhancement, ai — non-epic). Valid.

🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

Docs/content change (§7.5.3) — no unit tests applicable. The PR's Test Evidence shows the release index + SEO generators ran post-edit (an AC). The substantive verification here is the anchor-accuracy V-B-A above. CI green.

N/A Audits — 📡 🔗

N/A: release-note prose + generated SEO output.

📋 Required Actions

No required actions — eligible for human merge. Two non-blocking forward notes above (sitemap regen ordering vs #12728; optional de-dup of cross-listed anchors). The pre-cut count refresh is already in the Release-Cut Checklist.
