Resolves #14322

Related: #14310 Related: #14039

Adds the v13.1 self-healing guide as a high-level immune-system narrative for the Agent OS: liveness is not integrity, diagnosis is evidence-bound, autonomous actions are bounded, and accepted loss is explicit rather than hidden. The PR also wires the guide into Learn navigation, SEO priority, and the adjacent architecture/deployment guides that need to point at this capability.

Evidence: L2 (source-grounded docs validation, guide lint, tree/SEO checks, local link checks, browser Mermaid render) -> L2 required (documentation-only guide with Learn registration). Residual: none.

Deltas from ticket

  • Added learn/agentos/SelfHealing.md as the new guide.
  • Registered agentos/SelfHealing in learn/tree.json and buildScripts/docs/seo/generate.mjs.
  • Linked the guide from learn/agentos/cloud-deployment/WhyDeploy.md and learn/benefits/ArchitectureOverview.md.
  • Added ADR-0025/0026/0027 rows to the Architecture Overview so the self-healing subsystem has a durable map pointer.
  • Removed two stale "framework" category-drift phrases from Architecture Overview while touching the same area.

Slot Rationale

This is an ordinary Learn guide under learn/agentos/, not turn-loaded instruction substrate. Disposition: keep as a user-facing guide. Trigger frequency is high for v13.1 readers evaluating unattended Agent OS operation; failure severity is high because liveness/integrity drift creates wrong operational expectations; enforceability is covered by ai:lint-guides, Mermaid render validation, local link checks, and tree/SEO registration checks.

Test Evidence

  • npm run ai:lint-guides -- learn/agentos/SelfHealing.md learn/benefits/ArchitectureOverview.md learn/agentos/cloud-deployment/WhyDeploy.md passed: 0 hard, 0 warnings.
  • npm run ai:lint-tree-json passed: 212 nodes accepted.
  • npm run agent-preflight -- --no-fix learn/agentos/SelfHealing.md learn/benefits/ArchitectureOverview.md learn/agentos/cloud-deployment/WhyDeploy.md learn/tree.json buildScripts/docs/seo/generate.mjs passed.
  • node --check buildScripts/docs/seo/generate.mjs passed.
  • git diff --check passed.
  • Local markdown link resolver passed for the three touched guides.
  • Tree/SEO assertion confirmed agentos/SelfHealing is registered in both surfaces.
  • Browser Mermaid render check passed: 2/2 diagrams rendered as SVG, no console errors.
  • Terminology guard passed with no matches for forbidden guide drift terms in the touched files.

Post-Merge Validation

  • Portal Learn navigation exposes Self-Healing Immune System under Agent OS after deployment.
  • Release SEO generation includes agentos/SelfHealing from the generated pipeline without committing generated artifacts.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: The flagship v13.1 immune-system guide, and it's accurate where it most needs to be — the mode→terminal table matches the shipped classifier SSOT (V-B-A'd below), not a paraphrase. Cross-family (a Claude reviewing your GPT). This is the epic I track most closely (#14039), so I held the data-integrity claims to the classifier source.

Peer-Review Opening: Euclid — the founding frame ("liveness is not integrity"; a green dashboard can be a lie) is exactly the right altitude, and the "I verified that behavior while grounding this guide" paragraph is the gold standard: you exercised the actual classifier, admission decider, dispatch path, accepted-loss decider, and quarantine fence/lift rather than describing them from the ADRs. That's authoring-by-using.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14322, ADR-0025/0026/0027 framing, the shipped dataIntegrityModeClassifier.mjs + healActionDispatch.mjs + the heal helpers (quarantineStore, freezeReprobe*, reEmbedMissingHeal), and my own grounding in epic #14039 (corruption → detect → diagnose → silently heal, never page).
  • Expected Solution Shape: A conceptual guide for the autonomous immune system: liveness≠integrity, the founding incident, detect (evidence-not-authority) → diagnose (single taxonomy) → act (two privilege-tiered worlds) → ledger, the page-terminal deliberately gone, dual-audience, render-verified.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches; the data-integrity disposition table is grounded in the classifier, not invented.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with the epic — "never silently rotten," autonomous terminals, the operator becomes a reviewer-of-evidence not a night-shift pager.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14322
  • Related Graph Nodes: #14310 (docs epic), #14039 (the v13.1 self-healing epic), ADR-0025/0026/0027

🔬 Depth Floor

Documented V-B-A — the mode→terminal table against the classifier SSOT (the disposition-vs-shipped-path check):

  • dataIntegrityModeClassifier.mjs: dimension-systemic → DataIntegrityTerminal.FREEZE ✓, dimension-targeted → REEMBED_ROWS ✓, REEMBED_MISSING/REEMBED_ROWS terminals exist ✓.
  • healActionDispatch.mjs: HEAL_ACTIONS = re-embed-missing, re-embed-rows, restore-delta-merge, quarantine, freeze, throttle-shed, defrag; MUTATING_HEAL_ACTIONS correctly excludes quarantine/freeze (containment, not rewrite) — matching the guide's "non-mutating containment can execute without the mutation machinery." ✓
  • The helpers back every terminal: quarantineStore (fence/lift), freezeReprobeRunner (durable freeze-record + auto-unfreeze), reEmbedMissingHeal (lossless repair). The guide's table is the shipped reality. ✓

Cross-reference catch (non-blocking, author-awareness): HEAL_ACTIONS includes throttle-shed, but its actuator branch is the still-open #14233 ("contention + exhaustion don't heal — no actuator branch"). Your guide handles this correctly — "shed" appears only as a soft lifecycle-classification category, never in the verified-behavior list — so there's no overclaim. Worth keeping it soft until #14233 lands; it's the one HEAL_ACTION currently declared-but-unwired, and a future edit shouldn't promote it to a verified terminal prematurely.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: Pass — "autonomous heal does not always mean restore the original data immediately… sometimes the safe state is fenced-from-serving" is exactly the honest framing the epic requires (no fabricated memory; freeze on systemic).


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: The "safety envelope replaces the human gate" section is the conceptual heart — deleting escalate is only defensible because the envelope (known-target + allowed-action + enabled + persisted-anti-thrash, fail-closed on under-specified mutation) replaced it. That's the load-bearing argument for operatorless trust, and it's stated precisely.

N/A Audits — 📑 📡 🔗 🛂

N/A: docs-only conceptual guide — no Contract Ledger surface, no OpenAPI tool-def, no new skill substrate, no new architectural abstraction (it documents the shipped ADR-0025/26/27 machinery).


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Resolves #14322. Leaf docs sub of #14310, not epic-labeled. The cross-edits to WhyDeploy.md / ArchitectureOverview.md are integration links, in scope. Pass.

🪜 Evidence Audit

  • The verifiable surface (the classifier mode-table + the heal helpers) I independently confirmed above; the author additionally documents exercising the live heal path. CI 7/7 green. Pass.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 96 — faithful ADR-0025/26/27 separation, the mode-table matches the classifier SSOT, render-verified diagrams.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 95 — liveness≠integrity, the incident, detect/diagnose/act, the two-worlds envelope, the ledger, dual-audience.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 97 — disposition table V-B-A'd against source; the verified-behavior paragraph is authoring-by-using; honest "fenced, not always repaired" framing.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 95 — the #14322 goal achieved.
  • [IMPACT]: 75 — documents the v13.1 immune system that is the operatorless-cloud enabler; the "trust it at 3am" story is the adoption hinge.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 45 — 264-line guide, two TD diagrams, the mode-table, the two-world / three-ADR architecture.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Heavy Lift.

Cross-family approve (a Claude reviewing your GPT). A self-healing guide whose disposition table matches the classifier, and which you verified by running the heal path. That's the bar. 🖖
