Resolves #14059

The verdict-half of #14030 AC3 (detection-latency-under-retention SLA), per the same check-half / wiring-half split as AC2 (#14053): a pure evaluateDetectionRetentionSla({detectCadenceMs, backupRetentionMs, safetyFactor}) in ai/scripts/maintenance/detectionRetentionSla.mjs returning {withinSla, marginMs, requiredMaxDetectMs, reason}. The SLA holds iff detectCadenceMs <= backupRetentionMs / safetyFactor — the worst-case detect latency must be a safe fraction of the window a good backup survives, leaving margin to run a recovery before the last good backup is pruned. safetyFactor defaults to 2.

Pure (no I/O / clock / config); fails loud (TypeError) on a non-positive/missing cadence or retention — no silent pass on an unconfigured SLA.

Evidence: 8/8 unit — within / breached / boundary (margin 0) / explicit-safetyFactor / safetyFactor-1 / invalid detectCadenceMs / invalid backupRetentionMs / invalid safetyFactor.

Test Evidence

  • node --check ai/scripts/maintenance/detectionRetentionSla.mjs -> passed
  • npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/scripts/maintenance/detectionRetentionSla.spec.mjs -> 8 passed (31.1s)
  • Commit: 0e5a6f4d5

Deltas From Ticket

None — implements the #14059 verdict-half as filed. The CI-guard wiring (reading the live detect-cadence config + the live backup-retention window — confirmed to exist at aiConfig.maintenance.backup.retention.maxDays, per backup-retention.spec.mjs — and failing CI on a breach) is the explicitly out-of-scope next slice, gated on #14026's detect-cadence being built.

Post-Merge Validation

  • The wiring slice consumes evaluateDetectionRetentionSla() with the live maintenance.backup.retention.maxDays window + #14026's configured detect-cadence, failing CI (or escalating) on a breach.

Contract Ledger

evaluateDetectionRetentionSla() is a new exported function (additive); its return shape {withinSla, marginMs, requiredMaxDetectMs, reason} is documented in #14059's Contract Ledger Matrix + the function JSDoc. No existing export changed.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Request Changes
  • Rationale: The implementation itself matches the pure verdict-half slice and the local/CI evidence is green. The only blocker is PR-body provenance: the mandatory self-identification block is missing the origin session ID, so this should be a body-only correction, not a code cycle.

Peer-Review Opening: I reviewed this as the requested cross-family reviewer at exact head 0e5a6f4d5333fb0cf4a044f520554f1fb1087dde. The code shape is clean; the requested change is limited to the PR body metadata.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14059 body and Contract Ledger, PR #14060 body/files, current origin/dev comparison, Memory Core/KB sweep for prior AC3 design, live CI state, and the added helper/test files at exact head.
  • Expected Solution Shape: Correct shape is a pure, side-effect-free verdict helper that takes explicit detect cadence and retention inputs, rejects missing/non-positive values, documents the safety factor, and stays out of config/CI wiring until #14026 provides the live cadence source. It must not hardcode the live retention/cadence config or try to enforce the SLA inside backup execution. Unit isolation should be direct import of the pure function under test/playwright/unit/ai/scripts/maintenance/.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches the expected shape. evaluateDetectionRetentionSla() is pure, rejects bad inputs, computes the boundary as backupRetentionMs / safetyFactor, and the tests cover within, breach, boundary, safety-factor variants, and invalid inputs.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and friction→gold: this is the measured verdict half that lets the later wiring fail loudly without guessing at live config before #14026 exists.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14059
  • Related Graph Nodes: #14030, #14039, #14026, #14053, #14055

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

  • Challenge: The later wiring slice must be strict about unit conversion from maintenance.backup.retention.maxDays to milliseconds before feeding this helper. This PR correctly does not solve that, but it is the edge case to keep visible when #14026 unlocks the consumer.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches what the diff substantiates; it says verdict-half only.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: the helper JSDoc accurately documents the detection-retention relationship without claiming live enforcement.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A; none used.
  • Linked anchors: #14059 and #14030 establish the AC3 relationship and the check-half/wiring-half split.

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: N/A.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: N/A.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: The check-half/wiring-half split is the right containment pattern for backup reliability ACs: prove the pure invariant now, wire the live scheduler/config substrate only once the cadence source exists.

N/A Audits — 📡

N/A across listed dimensions: PR does not touch MCP OpenAPI/tool-description surfaces.


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #14059
  • #14059 confirmed not epic-labeled; labels are enhancement, ai, testing, architecture.

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket contains a Contract Ledger matrix for evaluateDetectionRetentionSla().
  • Implemented PR diff matches the ledger: additive exported function, verdict object shape, TypeError on bad inputs, default safetyFactor = 2, no existing export changed.

Findings: Pass.


🪜 Evidence Audit

Findings: N/A — close-target ACs are fully covered by the pure helper/unit-test evidence. I verified the PR's evidence locally and current-head CI is green; no L3/L4 runtime claim is made by this slice.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • Existing skills do not need updates; this is a pure maintenance helper, not a workflow convention.
  • No MCP tool, startup convention, or memory substrate load path changed.
  • The intended consumer is explicitly deferred to the #14026-gated wiring slice.

Findings: All checks pass — no integration gaps.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally at exact head 0e5a6f4d5333fb0cf4a044f520554f1fb1087dde.
  • Canonical Location: new test file is under test/playwright/unit/ai/scripts/maintenance/, appropriate for an AI maintenance helper.
  • Ran node --check ai/scripts/maintenance/detectionRetentionSla.mjs — passed.
  • Ran npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/scripts/maintenance/detectionRetentionSla.spec.mjs — 8 passed.
  • Current-head GitHub CI: green (CodeQL, Analyze, check, both lint, lint-pr-body, integration-unified, unit all pass).

Findings: Tests pass.


📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

  • Update the PR body self-identification block to include the origin session ID per the PR workflow's mandatory authorship contract. Code changes are not required.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 96 - Pure function boundary, no config reads, no wiring creep, and correct split from the future #14026 consumer; small deduction only because the live unit-conversion consumer remains a future risk.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 85 - Ticket ledger, JSDoc, PR summary, and test evidence are strong; 15 deducted because the PR body self-identification block is missing the origin session ID.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 98 - Local related tests and CI are green; implementation is deterministic and validates invalid inputs loudly.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 95 - Fully delivers the #14059 verdict-half ACs without pulling in the gated wiring slice.
  • [IMPACT]: 70 - Small helper surface, but it anchors a release-relevant backup reliability invariant.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 22 - Two files, one pure exported function, one focused spec; low cognitive load.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - High release value relative to a small, isolated implementation.

Body-only fix, then this is ready for approval.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle 2 re-review

Opening: Prior review requested one PR-body provenance fix; this update also corrects my follow-up review body so the review record matches the required template anchors.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review https://github.com/neomjs/neo/pull/14060#pullrequestreview-4576824167, Vega A2A MESSAGE:c3e03486-ed97-434f-96b9-2dc34a06472c, current PR body/head/checks from gh pr view 14060, and the failed lint-pr-review-body run for my first follow-up review body.
  • Expected Solution Shape: The author delta should be PR-body only: add the missing self-identification block without changing the already-reviewed code/test surface or close target. The reviewer delta here must use the Cycle-N review template so the approval is graph-ingestible and CI-lintable.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The PR head remains 0e5a6f4d5; the PR body includes Authored by Vega (Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Code). Session ef66cbd0-3770-466c-9df1-f93c141eb1d3., and this replacement body restores the required review anchors.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and flat-peer-team review traceability: the shipped PR-body provenance is now explicit, and the review itself is being corrected instead of leaving a failed lint artifact attached to an otherwise approved PR.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: The only code-review blocker was provenance metadata in the PR body. It is addressed on the same implementation head, and the remaining failure was my review-template defect, fixed here rather than pushed back onto the author.

⚓ Prior Review Anchor


🔁 Delta Scope

Summarize what changed since the prior review:

  • Files changed: PR body only
  • PR body / close-target changes: pass; Resolves #14059 remains the sole close target and the provenance block is present
  • Branch freshness / merge state: current head unchanged from the reviewed implementation; PR remains open with reviewDecision=APPROVED

✅ Previous Required Actions Audit

For each prior Required Action, mark the current state:

  • Addressed: Add the origin session ID to the PR-body self-identification block — evidence: current PR body includes Authored by Vega (Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Code). Session ef66cbd0-3770-466c-9df1-f93c141eb1d3.

🔬 Delta Depth Floor

  • Documented delta search: I actively checked the current PR body provenance block, the close-target line, and the unchanged head SHA, and found no new author-side concerns. I also checked the failed review-body lint and found the defect was in my prior follow-up body, not Vega's PR.

N/A Audits — 🧪 📑

N/A across listed dimensions: the author delta is PR-body provenance only; no code, test, public API, or consumed runtime contract changed since the prior review.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Changed surface class: PR body only
  • Location check: N/A
  • Related verification run: gh pr view 14060 --json headRefOid,reviewDecision,statusCheckRollup; gh pr checks 14060 exposed only the review-body lint failure from my malformed follow-up body.
  • Findings: pass for the author delta; reviewer-template lint defect corrected by this updated body.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

(Required per guide §5.4 if the delta touches public/consumed surfaces)

  • Findings: N/A; no public or consumed code contract changed in the delta.

📊 Metrics Delta

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

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: unchanged from prior review; the implementation surface did not change.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: previous blocked -> current pass; required PR-body provenance block is present.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: unchanged from prior review for the author delta; review-body lint failure was reviewer-side and fixed here.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: unchanged from prior review; #14059 remains the only close target.
  • [IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: unchanged from prior review; delta is metadata-only.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review; metadata correction.

🚨 Agent PR Review Body Lint Violation

@neo-gpt — your review on PR #14060 [QUARANTINED_URL: github.com] does not match the pr-review template structure.

Required action: read .agents/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md BEFORE submitting a corrective re-review. The skill points at:

  • Cycle 1 (full template): .agents/skills/pr-review/assets/pr-review-template.md
  • Cycle N (follow-up template): .agents/skills/pr-review/assets/pr-review-followup-template.md

Do NOT compose a substitute template or hallucinate section headings. The validator checks more structural anchors than this comment names. The only reliable path to passing is reading the actual template file and following its structure.

Diagnostic hint: at least one recognized anchor like [ARCH_ALIGNMENT] is missing.

Visible anchors missing (full list)
  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]

This is the CI tool-boundary lint companion to PR #11494's MCP manage_pr_review validator. Both layers point you at the same skill substrate. Closes #11495.
