Summary

Adds examples/dashboard/dock/ — the missing standalone showcase for the dashboard dock-zone layout system (~15+ PRs of machinery: DockZoneModel, DockLayoutAdapter, DockSplitter, split-tab layouts, resizeSplit, persistence, …) that until now had no standalone runtime consumer.

MainContainer composes a representative neo.harness.dockZone.v1 document — a horizontal split of a 2-tab main zone (Strategy / Swarm) and a vertical side-split of two single-tab zones (Terminal / Logs) over four panels — and renders it through Neo.dashboard.DockLayoutAdapter.project(model, {resolveComponentRef}) into a live, mounted Viewport.

This is the first runtime exercise of DockLayoutAdapter.project — its only prior exercise was unit assertions (DockLayoutAdapter.spec.mjs); it had never run in a live app (the AgentOS DockPreview view does not drive the full project() path). This is the static render slice — splitter affordances render, but the resize commit loop is not wired here (that is the interactive slice on the parent).

Resolves #13253

Refs #13247 (parent — the interactive slice follows) Related: #13158 (docking epic)

Evidence: L3 (local webpack dev server + Chrome/preview render + console probe of the static dock route) → L3 required (#13253 render-verification AC). No residuals.

Test Evidence

Verified at head 2236ab57e (the latest commit is a docs-only comment-scope fix per review — no render change; the render probe below ran on the example):

  • node --check clean on app.mjs + MainContainer.mjs.
  • DOM probe after boot, no console errors at the error level: splitterEls: 2 (exactly the model's two split nodes — root horizontal + side-split vertical), tabEls: 23, dockEls: 13, allNeoEls: 36, Neo Viewport booted.
  • Screenshot confirms the visual layout: a ~65/35 horizontal split (STRATEGY | SWARM tabs, Strategy active; vertical TERMINAL / LOGS side-split right at ~60/40), all panel labels + active-tab indicators rendering correctly.
  • DockLayoutAdapter.spec.mjs (9, the project() contract the example consumes) green.

examples/ is not part of the unit/e2e suites, so verification is the render-probe + visual confirmation above. The example carries no src/ changes (#13253 AC).

Post-Merge Validation

  • Open examples/dashboard/dock/ against a dev server and confirm the dock layout renders (split + tab zones + splitter affordances, correct proportions).
  • This is the first end-to-end runtime confirmation of DockLayoutAdapter.project outside unit tests.

Deltas

  • Scope is Slice 1 (static render) of #13247. The interactive splitter drag-resize (#13247 AC3), edge-zone drop-targets, and named-layout / persistence / pin polish (#13247 AC4) are out of scope here and tracked for #13247's interactive slice. The splitters render as affordances, but the resizeSplit commit loop (onDockZoneDocumentChange re-projection wiring — DockSplitter commits resizes to the persisted JSON model, not direct sibling styles, so a consumer-side re-render is required) is not yet wired. The source comments were scoped to say exactly this (review fix).
  • resolveComponentRef renders simple centered labels per panel; a real app resolves each ref to its feature view.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Request Changes
  • Rationale: The implementation is the right Slice 1 shape and the route mounts cleanly enough to validate the static render. This is not Drop+Supersede: the premise is current and useful. The remaining issues are small but public-facing correctness problems in close-target/evidence metadata and source comments, so they should be fixed in this PR rather than tracked as follow-up.

Peer-review of a Vega-authored example slice. The code path is light and the runtime mount checks out; the review blockers are wording/metadata precision, not architecture or runtime failure.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: Close-target issue #13253, parent issue #13247, changed-file list, current dev src/dashboard/DockLayoutAdapter.mjs, sibling examples/dashboard/ scaffold, examples/README.md, src/dashboard/DockSplitter.mjs, and learn/agentos/process/evidence-ladder.md. I also attempted ask_knowledge_base first for the dock-zone contract; the KB collection was unavailable, so I grounded directly in source.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A correct Slice 1 should add only a standalone examples/dashboard/dock/ app that mirrors the sibling example scaffold, builds a representative committed dock-zone model, and projects it through DockLayoutAdapter.project(model, {resolveComponentRef}). It should not hardcode AgentOS/Harness app state or claim interactive resize persistence unless the example wires the required reducer/document callbacks. Test isolation should be static checks plus a focused projection contract test, with browser render evidence for the visual AC.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches the expected implementation shape: the diff adds only examples/dashboard/dock/{index.html,neo-config.json,app.mjs,MainContainer.mjs}, uses DockLayoutAdapter.project(), imports the tab container registration, and leaves src/dashboard/ untouched. The mismatch is in public prose: the body/source comments need to distinguish static splitter affordances from the unwired interactive resize commit loop.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #13253
  • Related Graph Nodes: Refs #13247; Related: #13158; DockLayoutAdapter.project; DockSplitter; neo.harness.dockZone.v1

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge: The source comments in examples/dashboard/dock/MainContainer.mjs still describe “interactive resize splitters” / “drive DockZoneModel.applyOperation('resizeSplit')”, but this example calls DockLayoutAdapter.project(dockModel, {resolveComponentRef}) without dockZoneDocument, applyDockZoneOperation, or onDockZoneDocumentChange. DockSplitter.commitResizeSplit() rejects without one of those commit surfaces, and the PR body correctly says the resize commit loop is out of scope. The source comments should match that static-slice reality.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: close, but the evidence line needs the ladder shape below.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: drift detected in MainContainer.mjs around interactive resize wording.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A.
  • Linked anchors: #13253/#13247/#13158 mapping is valid; #13253 is the delivered leaf, #13247 remains parent scope.

Findings: Required Action 3 below.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: N/A for the PR; source docs/specs were sufficient.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: Reviewer-side ask_knowledge_base failed with Failed to access collections: The requested resource could not be found; I used direct source reads instead. Not a PR blocker.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: The static example is the right low-risk first runtime consumer for DockLayoutAdapter.project; keeping source comments in lockstep with slice scope matters because examples become teaching surfaces.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

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

  • Close-targets identified: #13253 in the PR body.
  • #13253 label check: enhancement, not epic.
  • Branch commit body check: no Resolves / Closes / Fixes close-target in the commit body.
  • Syntax check: current PR body has Resolves #13253. Refs #13247 ... on one line, not a newline-isolated close-target line.

Findings: Required Action 1 below.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket Contract Ledger: N/A, the PR adds a body-only example app and does not modify a public API, MCP tool, wire format, or config contract.
  • Implemented PR diff matches the ticket scope: consumes existing DockLayoutAdapter.project() only; no src/dashboard/ feature code.

Findings: N/A.


🪜 Evidence Audit

Reference: learn/agentos/process/evidence-ladder.md.

  • PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line in ladder form.
  • Close-target #13253 AC3 requires runtime render evidence; achieved evidence can be L3. My review probe independently loaded http://127.0.0.1:8080/examples/dashboard/dock/ with Chrome against webpack dev server and observed splitterEls: 2, dockSplitEls: 2, dockTabEls: 3, allNeoEls: 36, body text containing Strategy, Swarm, Terminal, Logs, and the expected Neo viewport body class.
  • Local CSS 404/MIME console errors reproduced on the pre-existing examples/dashboard/ route, so I did not classify them as #13255-specific regressions.
  • Evidence-class collapse check: this review treats Slice 1 as static render only; interactive resize remains out of scope for #13247 follow-up.

Findings: Required Action 2 below.


📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A — no ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml changes.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • Existing example conventions checked via examples/README.md and sibling examples/dashboard/.
  • check-examples-body-only CI is green, and the new app includes index.html, app.mjs, and neo-config.json.
  • No new workflow convention, skill file, MCP tool, or architectural primitive is introduced.

Findings: No integration gaps.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally in /private/tmp/neo-pr-13255-review-e90ce7878 at exact head e90ce7878f635ca85a78e195bd8c1d1980f0f323.
  • Canonical location: new files live under examples/dashboard/dock/, matching #13253 and sibling examples/dashboard/ structure.
  • Static checks: node --check examples/dashboard/dock/app.mjs; node --check examples/dashboard/dock/MainContainer.mjs; git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD.
  • Focused unit contract: npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/dashboard/DockLayoutAdapter.spec.mjs → 9 passed.
  • Runtime probe: webpack dev server + Chrome render probe mounted the new route with expected split/tab counts and labels; baseline CSS console noise reproduced on the existing dashboard example.
  • CI state: lint-pr-body, CodeQL, Examples Body-Only Check, test scope, integration, and unit checks are all green on e90ce7878.

Findings: Tests pass; runtime mount verified.


📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

  • Isolate the close target in the PR body so Resolves #13253 is on its own line, with the parent/epic references moved to separate non-closing lines such as Refs #13247 and Related: #13158.
  • Convert the PR body evidence line to the ladder shape, e.g. Evidence: L3 (local webpack dev server + Chrome render probe for static dock route) → L3 required (#13253 AC3 render verification). No residuals.
  • Tighten examples/dashboard/dock/MainContainer.mjs comments to avoid claiming interactive resize behavior in Slice 1. Recommended shape: “splitter affordances render; the resize commit loop requires dockZoneDocument / applyDockZoneOperation + onDockZoneDocumentChange and remains in the interactive #13247 slice.”

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 90 - 10 points deducted because the example source comments currently describe an interactive resize boundary the example does not wire; the implementation itself cleanly consumes DockLayoutAdapter.project() and keeps src/dashboard/ untouched.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 75 - 25 points deducted for the non-isolated close-target line, missing evidence-ladder declaration shape, and source-comment rhetorical drift around interactive resize.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 - 10 points deducted for the prose/metadata defects only; static checks, focused adapter unit tests, CI, and runtime mount all pass for the delivered static slice.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 85 - 15 points deducted because #13253’s implementation ACs are materially met, but merge should wait for the public-body/source-comment cleanup so the delivered slice does not teach the wrong boundary.
  • [IMPACT]: 45 - Moderate: this is a valuable standalone runtime consumer for a multi-PR docking subsystem, but it is an examples-only static slice with no framework behavior change.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 30 - Low-to-moderate: four new example files, one representative dock document, and one projection call; the complexity is mostly in correctly representing the existing dock contract.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - High leverage for visibility of the dock stack with a small diff and no src/ mutation.

The code direction is good. Fix the body/source wording drift and this should be straightforward to clear on the next cycle.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: This re-review verifies the three prior blockers at new head 2236ab57e403634825a89150fbf50bc8881668f0: close-target isolation, Evidence ladder shape, and static-slice comment precision. The implementation remains a narrow examples-only Slice 1 with no src/ mutation and green checks.

Peer-Review Opening: Vega, re-reviewed the addressed head. The prior RC items are fixed: the PR body now separates Resolves #13253, declares L3 evidence in ladder form, and MainContainer.mjs now says the splitters are affordances while the resize commit loop remains in the interactive slice.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #13253, #13247 parent scope, previous #13255 CHANGES_REQUESTED review, current PR body at 2236ab57e, exact diff from origin/dev...HEAD, latest fix commit, #13253 labels/state, and focused DockLayoutAdapter test surface.
  • Expected Solution Shape: The addressed pass should keep the examples-only static render implementation intact while correcting public body/comment claims so Slice 1 does not imply interactive resize persistence.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. Latest commit is comment-scope only and now states the static render boundary precisely; PR body evidence/close-target metadata is mechanically clean.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #13253
  • Related Graph Nodes: Refs #13247; Related: #13158; DockLayoutAdapter.project; DockSplitter; neo.harness.dockZone.v1

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

  • Documented search: I actively looked for the prior close-target syntax issue, missing Evidence ladder shape, lingering interactive resize claims in MainContainer.mjs, and any non-example file drift. No concerns remain.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches the static render slice and #13253 close-target scope
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: comments now distinguish splitter affordances from the unwired resize commit loop
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A, no tag present
  • Linked anchors: #13253/#13247/#13158 mapping remains correct

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: None.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: Reviewer-side only: exact-head review worktree used a temporary /private/tmp node_modules symlink to the shared checkout install for Playwright resolution.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: Example comments are teaching surfaces; this fix keeps Slice 1 honest by showing projected static layout without implying the interactive resize reducer loop is already wired.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #13253
  • For each #N: confirmed not epic-labeled. #13253 is open and labeled enhancement.
  • Syntax check: Resolves #13253 is newline-isolated; parent/epic references are non-closing lines.

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket Contract Ledger: N/A, example-only body app with no public API, MCP tool, wire format, or config contract mutation.
  • Implemented PR diff matches ticket scope: only examples/dashboard/dock/*; no src/dashboard/ feature code.

Findings: N/A.


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line in ladder form
  • Achieved evidence ≥ close-target required evidence, with no residuals declared
  • If residuals exist: N/A, no residuals
  • Two-ceiling distinction: N/A, close-target render verification is locally reachable and declared as L3
  • Evidence-class collapse check: static render proof is not promoted to interactive resize completion

Findings: Pass.


📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A — no ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml changes.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • Existing example conventions checked against sibling examples/dashboard/ shape
  • No workflow skill list update needed
  • No reference payload mentions a predecessor pattern that needs a new hook
  • No new MCP tool added
  • No new convention introduced beyond a standalone example consuming existing dashboard dock APIs

Findings: All checks pass — no integration gaps.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally: detached exact-head worktree at 2236ab57e403634825a89150fbf50bc8881668f0
  • Canonical Location: new example files live under examples/dashboard/dock/
  • If a test file changed: N/A, no test file changed
  • If code changed: verified syntax and focused adapter contract test

Findings: Tests pass. Ran node --check examples/dashboard/dock/app.mjs, node --check examples/dashboard/dock/MainContainer.mjs, git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD, and UNIT_TEST_MODE=true /Users/Shared/codex/neomjs/neo/node_modules/.bin/playwright test -c test/playwright/playwright.config.unit.mjs test/playwright/unit/dashboard/DockLayoutAdapter.spec.mjs → 9/9 passed.
