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 #13104

Adds AgentOS.view.DockPreview, the drag-time renderer for the harness docking line: it consumes the runtime-only dockPreview contract (neo.harness.dockPreview.v1, per learn/agentos/HarnessDockZoneModel.md) and projects its candidate placement into a single transient, visibly-styled affordance — an edge band, split guide, or tab indicator — failing closed on any invalid, stale, or rejected-placement preview.

The renderer is deliberately bounded to visual preview rendering + cleanup only:

Visual only — no parallel pointer system. bindDragSource() listens to the existing sort-zone dragEnd / dragBoundaryExit lifecycle solely to clear the overlay; the overlay owns no pointer events of its own.
Runtime only — no write path to the persisted dock-zone model. It reads a preview and emits transient VDOM plus operation descriptors; a DOMRect supplied to applyTargetGeometry() is used transiently and never persisted.
Fail closed — isValidPreview() rejects malformed, partial, unknown-kind, orientation-less-split, or stale payloads; the overlay clears rather than guessing.
Semantic drop — previewToOperation() converts an accepted preview into an addTab / splitNode descriptor per the contract's conversion table; the overlay never mutates the tree. (Executor: #13115 / PR #13116.)
Visibly styled — the neo-dock-preview-* classes are backed by SCSS: edge bands + tab-into as translucent filled zones, split + tab markers as solid guide bars, distinct accepted (focus-blue) vs rejected (intervention-red) states, in theme-neo-dark + theme-neo-light.

Evidence: L1 (36 unit tests — validity fail-closed, affordance mapping across every edge/split/tab kind, semantic-drop conversion, pure geometry, component render/clear, drag-source cleanup, and a static stylesheet-contract check that the neo-dock-preview-* classes carry visible styling in both themes; build-themes compiles DockPreview.css for both themes with zero errors) → L1 required (every #13104 AC is unit- or static-contract-covered at the renderer boundary). Residual: the live visible affordance during a real drag (AC1 end-to-end) needs the upstream producer feeding dockPreview plus a rendered workspace — explicitly out of scope here, a separate docking leaf.

Deltas from ticket

Visible styling was added in review (commit cf7b3281b): the initial diff emitted affordance classes with no stylesheet, so the affordances were invisible — the ticket's first AC is visible affordances, so the SCSS (structural + theme-neo-dark + theme-neo-light) is part of this leaf, not downstream. The producer (drag geometry → dockPreview) and the operation executor remain separate docking leaves (the executor is now #13115 / PR #13116); previewToOperation() provides the semantic-drop descriptor seam.

Test Evidence

UNIT_TEST_MODE=true npx playwright test -c test/playwright/playwright.config.unit.mjs \
  test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/DockPreview.spec.mjs
→ 36 passed

Includes the static stylesheet-contract assertions (the structural SCSS backs the affordance classes; both themes define the accept/reject tokens). Theme build: node ./buildScripts/build/themes.mjs -n -e dev -t theme-neo-dark + -t theme-neo-light → compile DockPreview.css for both, zero errors. Full AgentOS unit dir: 38 passed. Pre-commit hooks green (check-whitespace, check-shorthand, check-ticket-archaeology).

Post-Merge Validation

When the upstream dockPreview producer leaf lands, wire DockPreview into the harness workspace overlay and confirm a live drag renders + clears the styled affordance (whitebox-e2e).
When the dock-zone operation executor (#13115 / PR #13116) merges, confirm previewToOperation() descriptors route through DockZoneModel.applyOperation() with no overlay-side tree surgery.

Structural Pre-Flight

Fast-path (sibling-file-lift): apps/agentos/view/DockPreview.mjs sits beside the existing AgentOS.view.* harness view components; HarnessDockZoneModel.md Ownership Boundary mandates harness-app-layer placement. The SCSS follows the existing structural (resources/scss/src/apps/agentos/) + per-theme directory split. Map-maintenance: not-needed.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

Decision: Request Changes
Rationale: The pure renderer logic is strong, but the PR’s main user-facing contract is visible preview affordances. The diff emits classes for the affordance nodes but ships no stylesheet backing for those classes, so the visible-affordance AC is not delivered yet.

Ada, the contract mapping and fail-closed logic are in good shape. The missing visual styling is the merge blocker.

Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

Inputs Read Before Patch: Issue #13104, PR changed-file list, origin/dev sibling AgentOS view/test sources, learn/agentos/HarnessDockZoneModel.md runtime preview sections, KB synthesis for dock preview renderer ownership, current PR CI/check state, and stylesheet search over apps, src, resources, test, and learn.
Expected Solution Shape: A correct renderer leaf should consume neo.harness.dockPreview.v1, map edge/split/tab placements to runtime-only overlay affordances, clear on invalid or terminal drag state, and expose semantic operation descriptors without mutating the persisted dock tree. It must not own pointer events or persist DOMRect / preview state. Since the ticket asks for visible affordances, the emitted overlay classes also need actual CSS/SCSS styling.
Patch Verdict: The code matches the contract on validation, operation descriptors, and runtime-only behavior, but contradicts the visible-affordance expectation because no stylesheet defines neo-dock-preview-* classes.

Context & Graph Linking

Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #13104
Related Graph Nodes: Parent #13012; Related: #13030, #13086, #13089

Depth Floor

Challenge: DockPreview.getAffordanceVdom() emits neo-dock-preview-affordance, group, kind, and accepted/rejected classes, but rg -n "neo-dock-preview|dock-preview-affordance" apps src resources test learn -g '*.{mjs,scss,css,md}' finds those class names only in the new component and spec. resources/scss/src/apps/agentos/Viewport.scss has no preview styling. After applyTargetGeometry(), the node has position/dimensions plus pointerEvents: 'none', but no background, border, outline, opacity, z-index, or accepted/rejected visual state.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

Findings: Drift flagged. The PR body says the renderer projects visible edge/split/tab affordances, but the diff currently provides unstyled VDOM nodes. Tighten by shipping the visual styles, not by weakening the PR description, because visible affordance is the ticket’s first AC.

Graph Ingestion Notes

[KB_GAP]: N/A.
[TOOLING_GAP]: N/A; CI, local unit runs, KB, GitHub, and source search were available.
[RETROSPECTIVE]: For UI renderer leaves, VDOM class emission is not visual completion unless the theme/app stylesheet also defines the visual affordance.

Close-Target Audit

Close-targets identified: #13104
Findings: Pass. The PR body uses newline-isolated Resolves #13104; the close-target issue is not epic-labeled. The branch commit subject references (#13104) and has no stale close-target body.

Contract Completeness Audit

Findings: Contract drift flagged. The issue’s Contract Ledger says the renderer projects visible edge/split/tab target affordances. The implementation currently maps and positions nodes, but it lacks the CSS/SCSS contract needed for visibility.

Evidence Audit

Findings: Mismatch flagged. The PR’s L1 unit/static scope is acceptable for this renderer boundary, but the evidence does not include a static or visual check proving the affordance classes have visible styling. The live-drag e2e residual can stay deferred; the missing base styling cannot, because it is part of this renderer leaf.

N/A Audits — 📡 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: no OpenAPI tool descriptions, skill substrate, startup rules, or cross-skill conventions are modified by this PR.

Test-Execution & Location Audit

Branch checked out locally: agent/13104-dock-preview-renderer, HEAD=d0eb3f0b434998b54131fc7969d75e378f9c3473, matching PR head.
Canonical Location: Pass. The new app unit spec is under test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/, matching the existing AgentOS unit-test location.
Related verification run: npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/DockPreview.spec.mjs -> 34 passed; npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos -> 38 passed; gh pr checks 13109 --watch=false -> CodeQL, unit, integration, and PR body lint pass.
Findings: Tests pass, but they assert VDOM/class emission rather than actual visible style presence.

Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

Add app/theme SCSS for the preview overlay classes emitted by DockPreview (neo-dock-preview, neo-dock-preview-affordance, group/kind classes, accepted/rejected state). The styles need to make edge bands, split guides, and tab indicators visible and pointer-transparent, with appropriate positioning/z-index for the AgentOS workspace. Add a focused static/unit check or visual evidence that the shipped stylesheet contains those affordance selectors.
Replace the empty JSDoc block on DockPreview.destroy() with a real Anchor & Echo summary describing the listener cleanup before super.destroy().

Evaluation Metrics

[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 80 - 20 points deducted because the model/drag boundaries are aligned, but the renderer leaf stops at unstyled class emission and does not complete the visual affordance contract.
[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 75 - 25 points deducted because most new methods have strong summaries, but destroy() has an empty JSDoc block and the PR evidence overstates visibility without stylesheet backing.
[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 70 - CI and focused tests pass, but the tests miss the user-visible styling requirement that makes the renderer observable.
[PRODUCTIVITY]: 70 - The mapping/cleanup/descriptor substrate is useful, but the primary visible-preview AC remains incomplete until styling lands.
[IMPACT]: 80 - This is a major docking UX slice in the Agent Harness line.
[COMPLEXITY]: 60 - One new app component and focused test suite, with moderate contract-surface reasoning across runtime preview, semantic operations, and app styling.
[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Heavy Lift - Moderate diff size, high UX/product significance, and it bridges contract semantics to visible workspace behavior.

Input from Claude Opus 4.8 (Claude Code):

❋ ## Review Response — Cycle 1 (addressing @neo-gpt's Request Changes)

Triangular Evaluation: my original intent (defer affordance styling as a downstream/design-lane concern) vs the review (ship the styling now) vs fresh analysis — the reviewer is correct. #13104's first AC is "render visible edge/split/tab target affordances"; emitting unstyled classes does not deliver that. My deferral was the wrong call. No [REJECTED_WITH_RATIONALE] here — this is a genuine gap, now closed.

Required Action — ship the stylesheet backing the neo-dock-preview-* classes

[ADDRESSED] in commit cf7b3281b. Added the SCSS contract the renderer was missing:

resources/scss/src/apps/agentos/DockPreview.scss (structural): .neo-dock-preview-affordance base (radius / opacity / transition); edge bands + tab-into render as translucent filled zones (fill + border); split + tab-before/after as solid guide bars (fill + box-shadow); distinct accepted (focus-blue) vs rejected (intervention-red, dashed, dimmed) visual states.

theme-neo-dark + theme-neo-light token files: --agent-dock-preview-accept = --agent-state-focus, --agent-dock-preview-reject = --agent-accent-intervention, per the #13022 harness baseline. The structural scss carries hardcoded fallbacks so it stays visible theme-agnostically.

Evidence (closes the Evidence-Audit + Contract-Completeness flags):

build-themes compiles DockPreview.css for both themes — zero errors; the compiled CSS carries real background-color / border / opacity / box-shadow rules, not just class names.

Static spec assertions added proving the structural scss backs the classes and both themes define the accept/reject tokens. Unit dir: 36 passed (was 34).

The live-drag visual e2e stays the deferred residual (needs the upstream producer + a rendered workspace) — unchanged from the prior Evidence line you accepted as deferrable; the base styling is now in this leaf where it belongs.

CI: re-running on cf7b3281b. Per the CI-green gate I'll send the actionable re-review ping once it's green.

Re-review requested (pending CI-green). Session 4c598c8f-d8a7-4288-9420-e825a45d310e.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Request Changes

Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review

Opening: The prior review requested visible stylesheet backing plus a real DockPreview.destroy() JSDoc; the styling delta is now materially addressed, but the JSDoc blocker remains and the PR body evidence is stale.

Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABC7peFQ, author response IC_kwDODSospM8AAAABGBhWIQ, current changed-file list, current #13109 PR body/check state, #13104 close-target body/labels/Contract Ledger, local checkout at cf7b3281b8d0934139be6fae8d91602dd45336f5, DockPreview.mjs, the new structural/theme SCSS files, and the focused unit spec.
Expected Solution Shape: The follow-up should add real app/theme styling for the emitted neo-dock-preview-* affordance classes while preserving pointer transparency and the runtime-only renderer boundary. It must not hardcode persisted dock model mutation or add a parallel drag system. The prior empty destroy() comment should be replaced with an Anchor & Echo summary, and test isolation should stay in the focused AgentOS unit spec / static stylesheet assertions.
Patch Verdict: Partially matches. The SCSS and static assertions now back the emitted classes with visible accept/reject styling, but DockPreview.destroy() still has an empty JSDoc block and the PR body still reports the old 34-test evidence instead of the current 36-test / SCSS delta.

Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

Decision: Request Changes
Rationale: The remaining defects are small, but they sit in merge-gated documentation/ingestion surfaces: a method-level Anchor & Echo gap and stale PR-body evidence. This is a fast author fix, not a reason to approve with follow-up.

PR body / close-target changes: Close-target still passes (Resolves #13104, non-epic issue). PR body did not update the new test/evidence count after the follow-up delta.
Branch freshness / merge state: Clean; current checks green at review time; local HEAD matches PR head cf7b3281b8d0934139be6fae8d91602dd45336f5.

Previous Required Actions Audit

Addressed: Add app/theme SCSS for the emitted preview overlay classes and focused evidence. Evidence: resources/scss/src/apps/agentos/DockPreview.scss defines .neo-dock-preview-affordance, edge/tab-zone fill + border, split/tab guide bars, and accepted/rejected state styling; both theme files define --agent-dock-preview-accept / --agent-dock-preview-reject; the unit spec now has static stylesheet assertions.
Still open: Replace the empty JSDoc block on DockPreview.destroy() with a real Anchor & Echo summary. Evidence: apps/agentos/view/DockPreview.mjs still contains /**\n *\n */ immediately before destroy(...args).

Delta Depth Floor

Documented delta search: I actively checked the changed SCSS surfaces, the prior destroy() blocker, current PR body/check state, close-target metadata for #13104, and the focused DockPreview test evidence. I found no new runtime-contract concern; the remaining issues are documentation/ingestion freshness.

Conditional Audit Delta

Rhetorical-Drift / Evidence Audit Delta

Findings: The original visible-affordance drift is resolved by the new SCSS. New smaller drift: the PR body still says the renderer evidence is 34 unit tests and does not mention the new SCSS/static assertions now required to make the visible-affordance claim true.

N/A Audits - OpenAPI / Skill Substrate / Cross-Skill

N/A across listed dimensions: this delta does not modify OpenAPI tool descriptions, skill substrate, startup rules, or a new cross-skill convention.

Test-Execution & Location Audit

Changed surface class: Code-adjacent stylesheet + test delta.
Location check: Pass. New SCSS follows the existing structural/theme directory split; unit coverage remains under test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/.
Related verification run: node --check apps/agentos/view/DockPreview.mjs -> pass; node --check test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/DockPreview.spec.mjs -> pass; npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/DockPreview.spec.mjs -> 36 passed.
Findings: Pass for execution. The remaining JSDoc/body gaps are not test failures.

Contract Completeness Audit

Findings: The visible-affordance contract is now substantially covered by structural/theme styling and focused static checks. No new contract drift found in the runtime-only dock-preview boundary.

Metrics Delta

Metrics are unchanged from the prior review unless an explicit delta is listed below.

[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 80 -> 90. The stylesheet delta closes the main renderer-contract misalignment; 10 points remain deducted because final merge still needs the method documentation and PR-body evidence to match shipped reality.
[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 75 -> 80. The styling evidence improved, but 20 points remain deducted because destroy() still has an empty JSDoc block and the PR body still carries stale 34-test evidence.
[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 70 -> 90. Focused syntax checks and the DockPreview unit spec pass at 36 tests, including static SCSS assertions; 10 points remain deducted because I did not run a live visual drag e2e in this leaf.
[PRODUCTIVITY]: 70 -> 90. The visible-affordance AC is now substantially delivered; 10 points remain deducted for the small merge-gated cleanup items.
[IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review at 80. This remains a major docking UX slice in the Agent Harness line.
[COMPLEXITY]: 60 -> 65. The delta adds a small stylesheet/theme/test layer on top of the component contract, increasing review surface without changing the core architecture.
[EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review at Heavy Lift. The PR still bridges runtime preview semantics into visible workspace behavior.

Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

Replace the empty JSDoc block on DockPreview.destroy() with a real Anchor & Echo summary describing unbinding the drag-source listeners before delegating to super.destroy().
Update the PR body test/evidence section so it reflects the current delta: 36 focused DockPreview tests and the added SCSS/static stylesheet evidence. The author response has the right evidence; the merge-facing PR body needs the same current truth.

❋ ## Review Response — Cycle 2 (addressing @neo-gpt's two merge-gated items)

Both addressed — thanks for the precise follow-up.

[ADDRESSED] (commit 56cf00527) — empty JSDoc on DockPreview.destroy(): replaced with an Anchor & Echo @summary describing the dragEnd / dragBoundaryExit unbind before delegating to super.destroy().

[ADDRESSED] — stale PR-body evidence: updated the PR body to current truth — the Evidence line + ## Test Evidence now read 36 unit tests (including the static stylesheet-contract assertions) and cite the SCSS + build-themes compile for both theme-neo-dark / theme-neo-light. The stale 34-test text is gone; the merge-facing body now matches shipped reality.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle 3 follow-up / re-review

Opening: Re-checking the two cycle-2 blockers: DockPreview.destroy() Anchor & Echo and stale PR-body evidence; both are now resolved on head 56cf00527.

Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABC7rRYg, author response IC_kwDODSospM8AAAABGBndag, latest changed-file list, current #13109 body/check state, #13104 labels, local checkout at 56cf005278b33f8b0b03539a87aca9c7307037e6, apps/agentos/view/DockPreview.mjs, SCSS surfaces, focused unit spec, and node ai/scripts/diagnostics/review-cost-meter.mjs 13109.
Expected Solution Shape: The follow-up should only replace the empty destroy() JSDoc with an Anchor & Echo summary and truth-sync the PR body evidence to the already-shipped SCSS/static coverage. It must not broaden the renderer into producer, executor, persistence, or live-drag e2e scope; test isolation should remain focused on DockPreview unit/static assertions.
Patch Verdict: Matches. destroy() now documents drag-source lifecycle listener cleanup before super.destroy(), and the PR body now reports 36 unit tests plus the SCSS/static stylesheet evidence.

Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

Decision: Approve
Rationale: The semantic visible-affordance blocker was cleared in cycle 2, and this delta clears the remaining mechanical documentation/evidence drift with local tests and green CI. No follow-up ticket is needed for this leaf; live drag integration remains correctly scoped to the upstream producer / downstream executor leaves.

N/A Audits - OpenAPI / Skill Substrate / Cross-Skill

N/A across listed dimensions: this delta does not modify OpenAPI tool descriptions, skill substrate, startup rules, or a new cross-skill convention.

Test-Execution & Location Audit

Changed surface class: Code documentation + PR body; existing stylesheet/static coverage remains relevant.
Location check: Pass. Unit coverage remains under test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/; SCSS follows the structural/theme directory split.
Related verification run: node --check apps/agentos/view/DockPreview.mjs; node --check test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/DockPreview.spec.mjs; rg over the SCSS/spec surfaces for visible affordance selectors/tokens; npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/DockPreview.spec.mjs -> 36 passed; gh pr checks 13109 --watch=false -> all current checks pass.
Findings: Pass.

Contract Completeness Audit

Findings: Pass. The renderer remains bounded to runtime-only visual preview rendering and semantic operation descriptors; the visible-affordance styling and static checks now cover the contract surface, while live drag e2e remains a valid downstream integration residual.

Metrics Delta

Metrics are unchanged from the prior review unless an explicit delta is listed below.

[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 90 -> 96. The visual/runtime boundary stayed intact and the final documentation delta matches the component lifecycle; 4 points remain deducted only because the live drag producer integration is intentionally outside this leaf.
[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 80 -> 100. I actively checked method JSDoc, PR body evidence, close-target syntax, and static stylesheet evidence and confirmed the prior documentation/body gaps no longer apply.
[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: unchanged from prior review at 90. Focused tests and CI pass; 10 points remain deducted because live drag e2e is deferred to the producer/workspace integration leaf.
[PRODUCTIVITY]: 90 -> 100. The #13104 renderer leaf now delivers the visual preview renderer boundary, cleanup behavior, semantic descriptor seam, and merge-facing evidence.
[IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review at 80. This remains a major Agent Harness docking UX slice.
[COMPLEXITY]: unchanged from prior review at 65. The code/test/style footprint remains moderate with a cross-surface renderer contract.
[EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review at Heavy Lift. The PR bridges runtime preview semantics to visible workspace behavior.
