Resolves #14429

Aligns peer-role-mode.md §6.5's wake-control paragraph with the landed #14100 MailboxService enforcement: the stale "non-colliding [lane-claim] broadcasts may suppress" clause (a #12635-era relaxation that predates the tightening) is removed; [lane-claim] now sits unconditionally in the Wake list with the one-clause rationale — collision state is unknowable at send time, and the first-claim-timestamp tiebreak requires peers to see claims live, which is why the MailboxService rejects suppressed lane-claims mechanically. Awareness/FYI/ack and session-sunset self-DM suppressibility are untouched (the classes #14100's own Avoided Traps preserve).

Evidence: L1 (docs-only substrate alignment; the enforcement being documented is already landed and mechanically verified — two live rejection instances cited on the ticket, verbatim error text included). Residual: none.

Deltas from ticket

None — executed exactly as filed (the ticket was authored this session with the fix prescription already V-B-A'd; the only addition is the measured net-bytes figure in the slot rationale below).

Slot rationale (substrate-mutation gate, workflow §1.1)

  • Modified section: peer-role-mode.md §6.5 wake-control paragraph (skill-loaded atlas payload, loaded only on /peer-role invocation — no turn-loaded surface touched).
  • Disposition: rewrite (align-to-enforcement). Placement unchanged — the wake-control guidance already lives where lane-announce guidance lives.
  • Net loaded-bytes: ≈ neutral (one clause removed, one shorter rationale added; measured delta +71 chars in a ~1.1k-char paragraph).
  • Decay mitigation: the paragraph now cites #14100 as its enforcement anchor; if the MailboxService rule ever changes, the citation is the re-review trigger.

Test Evidence

  • Doc-to-enforcement V-B-A: the MailboxService rejection was reproduced live this session (2026-07-02T03:25:44Z, verbatim on the ticket) — the enforcement text enumerates exactly the suppression classes the amended paragraph now teaches.
  • npm run agent-preflight green (docs-only; PR-body anchors pass).
  • Grep audit: no other .agents/skills/** file teaches lane-claim suppressibility (rg -l "non-colliding" .agents/ → this file only).

Post-Merge Validation

  • Next agent lane-claim following /peer-role §6.5 sends unsuppressed on first attempt (no rejection cycle).

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: This is a narrow doc-to-enforcement alignment. The changed sentence removes a stale instruction that now causes a real add_message rejection loop, without broadening the suppression rule beyond #14429.

Peer-Review Opening: This is the right micro-fix: one reference-payload line, no router churn, and the scope stays limited to the stale [lane-claim] suppressibility clause.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14429, #14100, changed-file list, current dev peer-role-mode.md §6.5, the /turn-memory-pre-flight substrate boundary, prior wake-routing memory sweep, and current PR state/checks.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A correct patch should update the existing §6.5 wake-control paragraph where lane-claim routing is already documented, remove only the obsolete "non-colliding lane-claim may suppress" advice, cite the landed enforcement, and leave awareness/FYI/ack suppression intact. It must not create a new skill trigger, duplicate the MailboxService contract elsewhere, or re-litigate #14100.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The diff is one line in .agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md, moves every [lane-claim] into the Wake side, preserves PR-opened observer/lane-progress/ack suppressibility, and cites #14100 as the enforcement anchor.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and friction-to-gold: live rejection friction is converted into the reference payload agents actually read during /peer-role, while preserving flat-peer collision visibility.

🔬 Depth Floor

Documented search: "I actively looked for stale lane-claim suppressibility language, scope creep into awareness/FYI suppression, and missing substrate slot rationale and found no concerns."

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches the one-line reference-payload diff.
  • Linked anchors: #14429 and #14100 establish the stale-doc and enforcement relationship claimed by the PR.
  • Slot rationale: describes a skill-loaded reference payload change, not a turn-loaded global rule.

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: N/A.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: N/A for this PR.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: Small substrate alignment PRs are worthwhile when they remove a guaranteed failed tool call from a high-frequency coordination path; the important part is preserving the narrow scope so suppression remains valid for true FYI/observer classes.

N/A Audits — 📡

N/A across listed dimensions: no MCP OpenAPI tool descriptions, wire formats, or new core subsystem/provenance surface changed.


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #14429
  • #14429 is not epic-labeled; it is a bug/documentation/model-experience leaf.

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • #14429 contains a Contract Ledger matrix.
  • Implemented PR diff matches the ledger: only peer-role-mode.md §6.5 wake-control paragraph changes; MailboxService behavior is not changed.

Findings: Pass.


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line.
  • L1 docs-only evidence is sufficient for #14429 because the close target asks for substrate prose alignment to already-landed enforcement, not new runtime behavior.
  • Review language does not promote this PR into MailboxService runtime validation.

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Turn-Memory / Substrate-Load Audit

The PR touches /turn-memory-pre-flight in-scope substrate: .agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md.

  • PR body documents the modified section and classifies it as a skill-loaded atlas/reference payload.
  • Placement is stable: the rule remains inside §6.5 lane-announce/wake-control guidance, not a new always-loaded rule.
  • Load-effect risk is bounded: one clause is rewritten in an already-loaded-on-demand reference, with net-byte impact documented.

Findings: Pass.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • Existing predecessor step remains the same: /peer-role §6.5 owns lane-claim A2A guidance.
  • No AGENTS_STARTUP.md or SKILL.md routing change is needed because invocation criteria do not change.
  • The PR does not introduce a new convention; it aligns the documented convention to MailboxService enforcement.

Findings: All checks pass — no integration gaps.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally at exact head fc39381119f273397d637f19afd7a0db0d2fb2c3 in tmp/pr-14431-review.
  • Canonical Location: N/A, no test files changed.
  • Related verification run: npm run agent-preflight -- .agents/skills/peer-role/references/peer-role-mode.md passed.
  • Current GitHub checks are green: lint-pr-body, Analyze/CodeQL, Classify test scope, lint, integration-unified, unit.

Findings: No tests needed beyond docs/substrate preflight for this one-line reference-payload change.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 98 - Correct placement in the existing peer-role atlas paragraph; no global-rule bloat or enforcement drift.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 97 - The stale clause is removed, the unconditional wake rationale is named, and preserved suppressible classes remain visible.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 96 - Exact-head diff and local preflight are clean; no runtime code is touched.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 98 - Fully closes the narrow #14429 bug without spawning a follow-up loop.
  • [IMPACT]: 45 - Small textual change, but useful because lane-claim is a high-frequency coordination primitive.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 12 - One reference-payload line with low implementation complexity.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - Low complexity, direct removal of a known failed-tool-call path.
