Summary

The direct multi-window proof for create_component (#13157 AC1) — the L3 evidence @neo-gpt's #13183 review asked for ("direct L3 proof OR close-target truth-sync"; #13183 took the truth-sync split, this delivers the direct proof, the stronger option).

A shared-worker e2e: apps/shareddialog (now NL-enabled) opens a 2nd window (the shareddialog2 childapp, same App Worker), then create_component targets a window-2 container — resolved from the popup's own DOM, so it's window-2 by construction — over the shared sessionId, and asserts the component renders in window 2 and NOT window 1. That proves per-window targeting under useSharedWorkers:true, not a broadcast.

Resolves #13185. Refs #13157, #13183, #9846.

Evidence: L3 (e2e) — 3 consecutive green local runs; the create_component result lands with appName:"SharedDialog2" + the window-2 windowId. → L3 required (multi-window runtime behavior can only be proven end-to-end).

Changes

  • test/playwright/e2e/NeuralLinkCreateComponentMultiWindow.spec.mjs (new) — the multi-window create_component e2e.
  • apps/shareddialog/neo-config.json"useAiClient": true, so the shared-worker demo connects to the NL Bridge. This is the foundation that was missing: no app had both useSharedWorkers and useAiClient, which is why no shared-worker NL e2e existed. NL-enabling a demo is vision-aligned (NL-introspectable apps = the harness Pillar-2 thesis) and degrades gracefully when no Bridge is running.

Test Evidence

npm run test-e2e -- test/playwright/e2e/NeuralLinkCreateComponentMultiWindow.spec.mjs3/3 green (5.4–5.6s). The NL register confirms isSharedWorker:true; the create_component result confirms appName:"SharedDialog2", parentId:"neo-viewport-2", windowId = window 2's (distinct from window 1's windowId) — the component was routed to the correct window. No existing shareddialog test exists to regress (verified).

Post-Merge Validation

  • CI e2e green on the PR.
  • The shared-worker NL e2e path is now established — future multi-window NL e2es (harness Pillar-2 co-habitation) can build on this pattern: an NL-enabled shared-worker app + the popup-DOM window-2 discriminator.

Deltas

  • create_component footgun discovered (follow-up worthy): the tool's config validation accepts module, but a STRING module breaks container.add downstream at createItem (src/container/Base.mjs:445module.prototype.className on a string is undefined). Over the NL wire only ntype/className are usable (a class object isn't serializable). The tool should reject/guide away from module-as-string. I'll file a create_component hardening follow-up.
  • NL-enabling shareddialog is the minimal foundation; a dedicated shared-worker NL test app could replace it later, but enabling NL on a demo is lower-footprint and vision-aligned.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: This is the direct L3 proof split out of #13157/#13183. The diff is narrow, the close target is clean, and the focused E2E validates shared-worker multi-window create_component routing at exact head.

Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #13185 issue body and comments, #13191 PR body/file list/checks/close targets, exact-head diff at 045eed81f78c9006d21c872c40019dcd2c8e0c7e, new E2E spec, apps/shareddialog/neo-config.json, and focused local E2E output.
  • Expected Solution Shape: Establish one NL-enabled shared-worker app, open a second window in the same shared App Worker, target a window-2 parent over the shared sessionId, and assert the created component appears in window 2 rather than broadcasting into window 1. The PR should close only the split leaf #13185.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. shareddialog is minimally NL-enabled, the spec targets the popup viewport by DOM-derived parentId, and the E2E proves window-2 positive / window-1 negative behavior under useSharedWorkers:true.

Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #13185
  • Related Graph Nodes: #13157, #13183, #9846, Neural Link create_component, shared-worker multi-window routing.

Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

  • Documented search: I actively checked the split-ticket source of authority (#13185), the live PR close-target metadata, the actual E2E assertions, and an exact-head focused E2E run. The only drift I found is non-blocking: the test does not explicitly assert the returned create_component metadata, but the runtime output confirms appName:"SharedDialog2", parentId:"neo-viewport-2", and the window-2 windowId; the issue AC itself is satisfied by DOM routing proof.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: accurately frames this as the direct multi-window proof split out of #13157/#13183.
  • Linked-anchor accuracy: closingIssuesReferences returns only #13185.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: the spec summary names the shared-worker/window-2 proof boundary clearly.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A.

Findings: Pass.


Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: None.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: Temp-worktree E2E execution required mirroring ignored local MCP configs before ai/services.mjs could import, and required sandbox escalation because the Playwright reporter hit a sandbox-only uv_uptime EPERM.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: For this class of NL E2E, asserting the returned tool result would make the body evidence self-enforcing, but DOM positive/negative routing is enough for this ticket's AC.

Close-Target Audit

  • PR body intended close target: Resolves #13185.
  • #13185 is open and not epic-labeled.
  • Live closingIssuesReferences returns only #13185.
  • Branch commit subject references #13185 and adds no unintended magic close phrase.

Findings: Pass.


N/A Audits — 📡 🛂 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: this PR adds a focused E2E and one demo-app config flag; it adds no new OpenAPI tool description, no new external provenance source, and no new workflow primitive.


Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Exact-head worktree: 045eed81f78c9006d21c872c40019dcd2c8e0c7e.
  • Diff scope: apps/shareddialog/neo-config.json; test/playwright/e2e/NeuralLinkCreateComponentMultiWindow.spec.mjs.
  • git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD passed.
  • node --check test/playwright/e2e/NeuralLinkCreateComponentMultiWindow.spec.mjs passed.
  • node -e "await import('./ai/services.mjs')" passed after mirroring ignored local configs in the temp worktree.
  • npm run test-e2e -- test/playwright/e2e/NeuralLinkCreateComponentMultiWindow.spec.mjs passed 1/1 at exact head. Runtime output showed register with isSharedWorker:true, SharedDialog2 window connection, and create_component result for parentId:"neo-viewport-2" with the window-2 windowId.

Findings: Pass.

Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 93 - Establishes the missing shared-worker NL E2E foundation with a minimal demo flag and a direct proof for the split AC.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 91 - PR body, issue split, and close-target metadata align; minor non-blocking opportunity to assert returned metadata directly in the spec.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 94 - Narrow diff, exact-head E2E green, syntax and whitespace clean.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 92 - Converts a composition argument into concrete regression coverage without broadening the implementation.
  • [IMPACT]: 82 - Important for Neural Link shared-worker confidence and future harness co-habitation tests.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 48 - The code delta is small; the test topology and review evidence are moderately complex.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Focused L3 Proof - Small implementation with high validation value.
