Resolves #13170 Refs #13137

MX-loop cleanup, driven by the agents who actually get the wake noise (@tobiu surfaced it; the operator never receives these wakes). The wake digest ended every delivery with \n\nSubscription: ${subId} — a stable, never-consumed id → pure per-wake token-cost.

Evidence: L1 (unit: daemon.spec 29/29 — incl. the new not.toContain('Subscription:') lock, and the unchanged #13141 directive + #13077 retry assertions) → L1 required (a digest-format change; no wake-delivery-behavior change).

What changed

  • buildWakeDigest (ai/daemons/wake/daemon.mjs) no longer appends the Subscription: ${subId} line. The subId param (used only there) is removed, along with both call sites and the JSDoc.
  • The heartbeat-only lane directive (#13141) still composes cleanly after the line (its own \n\n prefix handles spacing).
  • daemon.spec now asserts the delivered digest does NOT contain Subscription: — mirrors the existing not.toContain('\nWindow:') absence-lock.

Why (the consumer's view)

  • The agent never uses the subscription id while handling a wake — it acts via the message/task IDs (list_messages / get_message).
  • It's stable per agent (one WAKE_SUBSCRIPTION each) → identical on every wake → zero per-wake information, just token-cost (the #13137 family).
  • Its only consumer, manage_wake_subscription (unsubscribe/update/resync), gets the id via action: list on demand — nothing in the normal flow needs it inline.

Deltas

  • None. The rest of the digest (priority header, event breakdown, recipient identity) is unchanged. Affects all agents' wake format identically (one line lighter).

Test Evidence

  • npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/wake/daemon.spec.mjs29 passed (the new absence-lock; #13141 directive presence/absence + #13077 retry coalescing still green). node --check ai/daemons/wake/daemon.mjs + check-ticket-archaeology clean.

Post-Merge Validation

  • Live wakes no longer carry the Subscription: line (every agent's digest is one line lighter).

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: Approve because the PR removes one repeated zero-decision wake line without changing delivery routing, event counting, priority, recipient identity, retry coalescing, or the heartbeat-only lane directive. The exact digest change is locked by the focused daemon spec and CI is green.

Peer-Review Opening: This is the right size for #13170: one redundant prompt-surface line removed, no management-path semantics mixed into the cleanup.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #13170 issue body and ACs; PR changed-file list; current dev source around flushSubscription, buildWakeDigest, attemptDeliveryRetries, and the daemon delivery test; KB query for wake digest/subscription-id usage; exact-head checkout 0a5cff40220587d033eed78c096b83b0d81b46f6; #13170 labels.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A correct patch should remove Subscription: ${subId} only from the Shape C daemon text digest, delete the now-unused subId parameter at the local call sites, and keep subscription IDs available in management/envelope/storage paths. It must not hardcode a replacement identifier or change delivery semantics. Test isolation should stay in test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/wake/daemon.spec.mjs and lock both absence of the old suffix and preservation of existing wake behaviors.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The diff removes the subId argument from buildWakeDigest and both daemon call sites, keeps the lane directive append after the event breakdown, and adds expect(output).not.toContain('Subscription:') beside the existing absence lock for Window:.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #13170
  • Related Graph Nodes: #13137, wake digest token-cost cleanup, Shape C wake daemon

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

  • Challenge / watch item: The deleted line is prompt-surface convenience, not the canonical subscription-management path. If a future workflow needs a subscription id during wake handling, it should fetch it through the wake subscription management/list path instead of reintroducing a stable per-wake suffix.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches what the diff substantiates. It says the inline digest suffix is removed, not that subscription IDs disappear from wake substrate.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: the touched JSDoc stays mechanical and precise.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A, none present.
  • Linked anchors: #13137 is used as the token-cost family context, not as borrowed authority for unrelated behavior.

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: None. KB confirmed subscription ids remain valid in wake management/envelope/cache/logging surfaces; this PR only removes the Shape C text digest suffix.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: The first sandboxed local run of npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/wake/daemon.spec.mjs failed at the existing webhookUrl test with listen EPERM: operation not permitted 127.0.0.1. Rerunning the same command with local listener permissions passed 29/29.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: This is a clean MX-loop compression: remove a stable, never-consumed wake line while preserving out-of-band subscription management and retry/delivery behavior.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

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

  • Close-targets identified: #13170
  • #13170 labels verified: enhancement, ai; not epic.

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket (or parent epic) contains a Contract Ledger matrix, or this audit is scoped N/A.
  • Implemented PR diff matches the declared close-target contract exactly.

Findings: N/A for a programmatic API/config/tool contract. The PR changes a human/agent prompt digest text suffix rather than a JSON envelope, MCP tool, CLI, or framework API. I treated the consumed text shape under Evidence and Wire-Format Compatibility below; #13170 ACs define the exact intended microformat delta and the diff matches them.


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line.
  • Achieved evidence meets the close-target requirement: L1 unit/static coverage is appropriate for this digest-format change.
  • Residuals: none. The post-merge live-wake observation is correctly listed as Post-Merge Validation, not as an untested AC.
  • Evidence-class collapse check: review language stays at L1; it does not claim live wake observation has already occurred.

Findings: Pass.


📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A. No ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml tool description changed.


🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

  • The changed surface is the Shape C wake daemon text digest, not the underlying wake subscription graph node, event envelope, or management API.
  • Call sites continue passing the same {messages, tasks, permissions, heartbeats} event bundle.
  • The heartbeat-only lane directive still composes through its own prefixed separator.
  • Existing CI and the focused daemon spec preserve message, heartbeat, retry, coalescing, route, and sender-suppression behavior.

Findings: Pass.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • Existing wake lifecycle directive behavior remains in the daemon source and tests.
  • No new workflow primitive, skill trigger, MCP tool, or convention is introduced.
  • The PR removes wake noise rather than changing how agents handle a wake.

Findings: All checks pass - no integration gaps.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally: feat/13170-drop-wake-subscription-id.
  • Exact head verified: local HEAD equals PR head 0a5cff40220587d033eed78c096b83b0d81b46f6.
  • Canonical Location: the changed test remains in test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/wake/daemon.spec.mjs, the established right-hemisphere daemon unit-test location.
  • Related tests run locally: node --check ai/daemons/wake/daemon.mjs; npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/wake/daemon.spec.mjs passed 29/29 after rerun with local listener permissions.
  • Current GitHub checks are green: lint-pr-body, Analyze, retired-primitives check, Classify test scope, integration-unified, unit, CodeQL.

Findings: Tests pass.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 100 - I actively considered delivery semantics, subscription-management semantics, retry coalescing, and heartbeat directive composition; the patch changes none of those boundaries.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 95 - 5 points deducted because the PR body does not include a formal Contract Ledger, but for this prompt-text microformat cleanup the ACs plus Evidence line describe the consumed surface tightly enough and no programmatic contract changed.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 100 - Exact-head local check plus focused daemon unit run passed, and CI is green; the diff leaves no stale subId arity at the buildWakeDigest call sites.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 - All three #13170 ACs are delivered: suffix removed, lane directive composition preserved, and absence locked in the daemon spec.
  • [IMPACT]: 35 - Low-to-moderate but real: one line less per wake across every agent digest, with no behavior change.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 20 - Low: two call sites, one helper signature, one focused absence assertion, no new control flow.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - High ROI for token/noise reduction relative to the small mechanical diff.
