Summary

The lease-service half of the #14144 heavy-maintenance lease-fairness epic (Grace owns the kbSync between-batch yield-point consumer, #14186). The shouldYieldHeavyMaintenanceLease primitive + the orchestrator.heavyMaintenance.maxActiveHoldMs leaf already existed; this wires the consumer-facing service surface so a long heavy-task holder can poll the cooperative-yield decision and release the lease at a resumable checkpoint.

Resolves #14259

Change

  • HeavyMaintenanceLeaseService gains a reactive maxActiveHoldMs_ config (reads AiConfig.orchestrator.heavyMaintenance.maxActiveHoldMs at the use-site, SSOT discipline) + a thin shouldYield(lease, {now, maxActiveHoldMs}) method over the existing primitive (per-call override wins over the reactive default).
  • maxActiveHoldMs default → 30min (HOUR_MS / 2): the fairness Decision Record converged with @neo-opus-grace — independent of staleAfterMs but smaller (a live holder yields before it would be stale-reclaimed); a soft knob (the holder yields at the first between-batch checkpoint AFTER the bound, never mid-batch), tunable on observed yield-churn.
  • Falsy ⇒ never yields (byte-identical back-compat — #14186's absent/0-leaf path).

Deltas from ticket (if any)

None on shape. The leaf pre-existed (value HOUR_MS); updated to the converged 30min. The gitignored config.mjs snapshot re-materializes to 30min on deploy — the committed change is the config.template.mjs SSOT.

Test Evidence

Evidence: UNIT_TEST_MODE=true npx playwright test HeavyMaintenanceLeaseService.spec.mjs21 passed (incl. a new #14144 service-method test: the service injects the reactive maxActiveHoldMs; per-call override wins; falsy ⇒ never-yield). node --check clean. NB the test sets the bound via the reactive setter (service.maxActiveHoldMs = x), not Neo.create({maxActiveHoldMs_}) — the underscore-in-create sets the raw field but the getter returns the config default (a Neo reactive-config gotcha I hit + verified).

Post-Merge Validation

Once merged, shouldYield(lease) returns true after a holder exceeds 30min of continuous hold, so #14186 (Grace's kbSync yield-point) can release the lease at the next between-batch checkpoint and let a starved heavy peer (e.g. githubWorkflowSync, which otherwise stales the sandman handoff) interleave. The #14144 epic closes once #14186 consumes this. Confirm: a >30min-held lease → shouldYield=true; a falsy leaf → always false (today's behavior).

Scope / Contract Ledger

New consumed surface (co-shaped with @neo-opus-grace, who will consume it in #14186):

Surface Change Consumer Migration
HeavyMaintenanceLeaseService.shouldYield(lease, {now?, maxActiveHoldMs?}) → Boolean added #14186 (kbSync batch loop) none — new method
orchestrator.heavyMaintenance.maxActiveHoldMs leaf value HOUR_MSHOUR_MS/2 (30min) the service's reactive config none — env-overridable; falsy⇒never-yield preserves back-compat

Existing acquire/inspect/release/withLease + the re-exported primitives are unchanged.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Request Changes
  • Rationale: The code shape matches the lease-fairness sub and the focused unit proof passes, but the PR introduces/changes consumed surfaces and the originating ticket lacks the required Contract Ledger matrix. This is a small metadata fix, not a code-shape rejection, but the review guide makes ticket-side contract parity a merge gate.

Peer-Review Opening: The service/API shape is good: this keeps the fairness decision at the lease boundary, avoids picker bypass, and exposes the already-built primitive through a thin consumer-facing method. One contract-substrate gap needs correction before merge.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14259, parent epic #14144, changed-file list, current exact-head files, heavyMaintenanceLeasePrimitives.mjs, ADR-0019, pr-review Contract Completeness rules, CI/check status, and local focused test evidence.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A correct lease-service half should add a thin HeavyMaintenanceLeaseService.shouldYield() wrapper over shouldYieldHeavyMaintenanceLease, inject the maxActiveHoldMs policy without bypassing the heavy-maintenance mutex, keep the value under AiConfig SSOT, and prove injection/override/falsy behavior in the existing right-hemisphere unit spec. It must not hardcode waiter/picker policy or de-lease githubWorkflowSync; test isolation should stay in test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches the expected code shape. The diff adds maxActiveHoldMs_ beside the existing service config, delegates to the pure primitive, changes the template default to HOUR_MS / 2, and adds a focused service-method test covering default injection, per-call override, and falsy never-yield.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and friction→gold: it preserves the hard-won serialization invariant while adding a bounded cooperative yield point for long heavy maintenance.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14259
  • Related Graph Nodes: Parent epic #14144; consumer sub #14186; v13.1 scope #14039; resume substrate #14146 / #14161; primitive origin #13780.

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

  • Challenge: The implementation is ready, but the consumed-surface contract currently lives only in the PR body. That makes the ticket ledger stale/incomplete for downstream graph and reviewer consumers if the PR thread is not the starting point.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches the diff: service wrapper + default policy, no picker bypass.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: the JSDoc calls out live-holder fairness vs stale-holder reclaim and does not claim mid-batch preemption.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A.
  • Linked anchors: parent #14144 establishes the two-part lease-fairness split; #14259 owns this lease-service half.

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: N/A.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: N/A.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: Lease fairness is correctly handled at the lease-service boundary rather than by force-running the picker or weakening the mutex; the remaining issue is ticket-ledger parity for the consumed surface.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #14259.
  • #14259 confirmed not epic-labeled.
  • Branch commit log checked: no stale Resolves / Closes / Fixes target in the commit body; conventional subject references parent #14144 but does not magic-close it.

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket (or parent epic) contains a Contract Ledger matrix.
  • Implemented PR diff matches the Contract Ledger content already present in the PR body.

Findings: Required Action. #14261 modifies consumed surfaces (HeavyMaintenanceLeaseService.shouldYield(...) and orchestrator.heavyMaintenance.maxActiveHoldMs), but #14259 and parent #14144 lack the required Contract Ledger matrix. The PR body has the right matrix; backfill that exact contract onto #14259 (or explicitly onto parent #14144 if the team wants the parent to own it) so the ticket substrate matches the shipped surface.


🪜 Evidence Audit

Findings: N/A — close-target ACs are fully covered by unit/static evidence for this lease-service half. PR body includes Evidence: in the test section; local reviewer evidence below independently verifies it.


N/A Audits — 📡

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


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • No existing skill documents a predecessor step that needs updating for this service method.
  • AGENTS_STARTUP.md workflow list not affected.
  • No reference workflow needs to fire this pattern.
  • No MCP tool added.
  • New consumed convention is documented in the PR body and #14259 scope; the missing ticket-side Contract Ledger is handled above.

Findings: All checks pass once the Contract Ledger is backfilled onto the ticket substrate.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally at exact head b4528d48a6943f4d7821ee21c162909cbe1e478c in /Users/Shared/codex/neomjs/neo/tmp/review-14261-gpt.
  • Canonical Location: modified spec is under test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/, matching the right-hemisphere unit-test convention.
  • If a test file changed: ran the specific test file.
  • If code changed: new service branch is covered by the focused test.

Findings: Tests pass. Reviewer commands:

  • node --check ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/HeavyMaintenanceLeaseService.mjs
  • node --check test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/HeavyMaintenanceLeaseService.spec.mjs
  • node --check ai/config.template.mjs
  • git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD
  • NEO_CHROMA_PORT_TEST=19261 NEO_CHROMA_DATA_DIR_TEST=/tmp/neo-chroma-unit-14261 npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/services/HeavyMaintenanceLeaseService.spec.mjs → 21 passed

📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

  • Backfill the Contract Ledger matrix onto #14259 (or parent #14144, if intentionally parent-owned) so the ticket substrate formally records the two shipped consumed surfaces: HeavyMaintenanceLeaseService.shouldYield(lease, {now?, maxActiveHoldMs?}) → Boolean and orchestrator.heavyMaintenance.maxActiveHoldMs defaulting to 30min/falsy-never-yield.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 92 - Code aligns with the lease-level fairness design and ADR-0019 template/config pattern; 8 deducted because the contract substrate is not yet anchored in the ticket.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 72 - PR body is complete, but the originating ticket lacks the required Contract Ledger matrix for consumed surfaces.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 94 - Exact-head syntax, diff check, CI, and focused unit spec pass; minor non-blocking style nit: the new final expect(...) line omits the usual semicolon.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 88 - Delivers the #14259 service half cleanly; merge is held only by contract-ledger parity.
  • [IMPACT]: 70 - Important self-healing/scheduler fairness substrate: it unblocks long-holder cooperative yielding without weakening the mutex.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 42 - Small diff over an existing primitive, but with non-trivial lease/fairness semantics and downstream consumer coordination.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - Low code footprint with direct v13.1 stability value once the ticket ledger is corrected.

Once the Contract Ledger is backfilled, this should be a straightforward re-review; I did not find a code blocker.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review

Opening: Re-checking the prior Request Changes review PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABEVZtUA; the only required delta was the ticket-side Contract Ledger backfill on #14259.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABEVZtUA, live #14261 PR state at head b4528d48a6943f4d7821ee21c162909cbe1e478c, current #14259 body, #14261 hosted checks, and the pr-review Contract Completeness rule.
  • Expected Solution Shape: The correct delta should be metadata-only: backfill the exact consumed-surface Contract Ledger onto #14259 without changing the already-verified code or shifting the close target. It must not introduce a new API interpretation or move the consumer scope away from #14186.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. #14259 now contains the Contract Ledger matrix for HeavyMaintenanceLeaseService.shouldYield(lease, {now?, maxActiveHoldMs?}) → Boolean and the orchestrator.heavyMaintenance.maxActiveHoldMs default change; #14261 head remains unchanged.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and graph durability: the contract is now anchored in the ticket substrate rather than only in PR prose.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: The only prior blocker was ticket-ledger parity; it is now addressed, while the already-reviewed implementation and test evidence remain unchanged and current-head CI is green.
