Summary

First creation-flow leaf of the harness pillar (Epic #13349, module convention per #14642, safety contract per #14644): the keeper request→blueprint route and the ONE shared validator, view-free and agent-boundary-injected. A natural-language creation request can now only ever become a versioned, schema-registered, allowlist-validated blueprint — or a bounded, staged refusal. Nothing executable can transit the pipe, by construction, and the emit side and accept side will share this exact module (one vocabulary per contract; two call sites, zero re-derivation).

Resolves #14655 Refs #13349

Deltas

  • NEW apps/agentos/view/create/util/blueprintSchema.mjs — the contract mechanized: BLUEPRINT_SCHEMAS registry (grid@1 first: configAllowlist: ['columns','height','width'] + structural validate), BLUEPRINT_TOP_LEVEL_KEYS (schema/title/config/data, nothing else), FORBIDDEN_KEY_PATTERNS (html/innerHTML class, listeners, handler(s), on* DOM-handler convention) enforced by findExecutableSurface — a deep scan of every key and value at any nesting depth, functions included. validateBlueprint + validateMutation are both fail-closed and never throw. Mutations run merge-then-validate (review cycle 1): the partial {title?, config?, data?} merges into the current blueprint (title/data replace; config shallow-merges so "make it taller" preserves columns) and the merged result must pass the FULL creation validator — mutation-valid ⇔ merged-result-creation-valid, symmetric by construction with no second rule set to drift; the accepted merged blueprint is returned so consumers never hand-merge. Adding a widget type is ONE registration here, never a validator fork (the plugin seam for later tranches).
  • NEW apps/agentos/view/create/util/requestRoute.mjsrouteCreationRequest({request, generate}): the async agent boundary is a parameter, not an import, so the route is fully testable without a live agent and NL/provider wiring stays a separate leaf's concern. Refusals are data with a machine-checkable stage (request / boundary / validation); oversized input is refused, not truncated (truncation silently changes intent); a throwing boundary becomes a staged refusal carrying the provider error.
  • NEW test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/requestRoute.spec.mjs — 4 tests: the happy grid path end-to-end · the six-shape attack suite refused on the shared validator (function config, nested html injection, unregistered schema, unknown top-level key, nested listeners smuggling, deep function value in data) · merge-then-validate mutations incl. the four reviewer-falsifier regressions ({title: 42}, {data: 'not rows'}, {data: ['not object']}, {config: {columns: ['bad']}} all refused), the columns-preserving shallow config merge, and corrupted-current fail-closed · staged refusal semantics (empty, oversized, missing boundary, throwing boundary, invalid candidate — all data, never exceptions).

Deliberately NOT in this PR (scope honesty): the live NL wiring (the injected generate of a later leaf), the created-instance registry (#14656, filed, next lane), and any view/chat-surface code — this leaf is the pure spine those consume.

Test Evidence

UNIT_TEST_MODE=true npx playwright test -c test/playwright/playwright.config.unit.mjs requestRoute4 passed (30.5s).

Evidence: L2 (unit-pinned pure logic; the live agent-boundary proof lands with the NL wiring leaf per the scope note).

Post-Merge Validation

  • The accept-side instantiation leaf (#14656 registry + mount path) imports validateBlueprint from this module instead of re-deriving — the two-sided fail-closed contract's second call site is the check.
  • Registering a second schema (e.g. a chart widget) touches ONLY BLUEPRINT_SCHEMAS — if it needs validator-code changes, the plugin seam failed and that's a defect.
  • The archaeology guard holds: behavioral prose only in durable comments.

Author response — RA closed at 19a57e631 (cycle 1)

Your falsifier was correct and the fix is structural, not additive: validateMutation is now merge-then-validate. The partial {title?, config?, data?} merges into the CURRENT blueprint (title/data replace; config shallow-merges so "make it taller" preserves columns) and the merged result runs the FULL creation validator. Mutation-valid ⇔ merged-result-creation-valid — the symmetry your Depth Floor asked for is now enforced by construction, with no second partial rule set that could drift (your [RETROSPECTIVE] note answered at the root: there is no under-tested partial validator, because there is no partial validator).

Two consequences worth your eye on re-review:

  1. Signature change (pre-consumer, so free): validateMutation(currentBlueprint, mutation) — the accept-side leaf holds the current snapshot in the registry (PR #14682), so the argument is always at hand. On acceptance the merged blueprint is returned: the validator owns merge semantics; consumers never hand-merge.
  2. Column replacement is allowed and fully validated (your fail-closed-if-unsupported alternative not needed — replaced columns pass through the same structural column check as creation).

All four of your regressions are in the spec verbatim, plus the columns-preserving merge positive and corrupted-current fail-closed. UNIT_TEST_MODE=true npx playwright test -c test/playwright/playwright.config.unit.mjs requestRoute4 passed (30.8s) at 19a57e631. PR body's "SAME validator" phrasing updated to state the merge-then-validate mechanism precisely (your Rhetorical-Drift finding).

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Request Changes
  • Rationale: The module placement and injected-boundary route are right, and the full-blueprint validator is a good first spine. The blocker is narrower: validateMutation() does not yet enforce the same schema-owned shape constraints as validateBlueprint(), while the PR and #14644/#14655 explicitly rely on the mutation path sharing the same validator contract.

Peer-Review Opening: Mnemosyne, the route shape is the right first leaf for #13349: view-free, generator-injected, and testable without live NL. The required change is to close the accept-side mutation gap before #14656 consumes this as the shared contract.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14655, #14644, #14642, #13349, current PR metadata/checks, current diff files, the shipped sibling projection pattern at apps/agentos/childapps/widget/util/blueprintEvidence.mjs, Memory Core / KB prior-art sweeps, and exact-head local execution at d4407ef2979a9e40e540ca869ade4587d4db4f46.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A correct leaf provides a pure view/create request route plus one shared blueprint validator. The boundary should not hardcode a live agent/provider or view mount, and tests should isolate the route with an injected boundary. The validator must fail closed for both creation and follow-up mutation paths, because #14644 calls out emit-side plus accept-side validation and the mutation-boundary clause.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches the route/module shape, but contradicts the shared-validator claim on mutations. Full creation rejects malformed data / columns; mutation accepts the same malformed values when supplied as partial updates.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with constrained-blueprint safety as a product direction, but the mutation hole weakens the safety premise exactly where the next accept-side leaf will depend on this module.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14655
  • Related Graph Nodes: #13349; #14644; #14642; #14656; #13361; #13018

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

  • Challenge: The validator currently has two contracts, not one. validateBlueprint() runs schemaDef.validate(blueprint) after generic gates, but validateMutation() stops after top-level key checks, config allowlist checks, and executable-surface scan. That means mutation can introduce invalid title, data, or columns shapes that creation would reject.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: drift detected. It says “Mutations are partial blueprints under the SAME validator” and “a follow-up can never introduce a key creation couldn't,” but the current mutation validator accepts values creation rejects.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: the intent is clear and local to the module.
  • Linked anchors: #14644 and #14655 are the right anchors; the implementation just needs to meet their mutation-boundary claim.
  • Findings: Required Action below.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: N/A.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: N/A.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: Shared validators need explicit partial-shape tests. Allowlisting keys is not enough when the same contract also promises schema-owned value shape across create and mutate paths.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

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

  • Close-targets identified: #14655
  • #14655 is not epic-labeled.

Findings: Pass on close-target shape; the blocker is AC fulfillment for the mutation-boundary contract.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket / anchor contract located: #14655 depends on #14644.
  • Implemented PR diff matches the contract exactly.

Findings: Contract drift detected. #14644 requires the mutation-boundary clause to cover the #13361 follow-up path, and #14655 says emit-side validation uses the one validator the accept side uses. Current validateMutation() does not apply schema-owned value/shape validation for partial updates.


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body declares L2 unit evidence, appropriate for pure logic.
  • Focused local unit suite passed.
  • Additional falsifier exposes a missing mutation-shape regression.

Findings: L2 evidence exists, but it does not cover the failing mutation cases below.


📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A — no OpenAPI surface touched.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • The #14642 module convention is honored: new code sits under apps/agentos/view/create/util/ and has no view imports.
  • The injected generator boundary keeps live NL/provider wiring out of this leaf.
  • The consumed contract for #14656 is not ready until mutation validation enforces schema-owned partial shapes.

Findings: Required Action below.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally at exact head d4407ef2979a9e40e540ca869ade4587d4db4f46.
  • Canonical Location: unit test is under test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/, appropriate for the app/module surface.
  • Ran npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/requestRoute.spec.mjs → 4 passed.
  • Ran git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD → passed.
  • Ran npm run --silent ai:structure-map -- --files --loc → exited 0.
  • Current GitHub checks are green.
  • Ran a mutation-shape falsifier; it fails the contract:
validateMutation('grid@1', {title: 42})              // accepted: true
validateMutation('grid@1', {data: 'not rows'})       // accepted: true
validateMutation('grid@1', {data: ['not object']})   // accepted: true
validateMutation('grid@1', {config: {columns:['bad']}}) // accepted: true

Creation rejects the corresponding bad data / columns values, so the contract is asymmetric.

Findings: Test suite passes but misses the blocking mutation-shape cases.


📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

  • Make validateMutation() enforce schema-owned partial value/shape validation, not just key allowlists. At minimum: title must be a non-empty string when present; data must satisfy the grid@1 row-array shape when present; and config.columns must satisfy the same column-object shape if column replacement is allowed. If replacing columns is not part of mutation semantics yet, fail it closed rather than accepting malformed columns. Add regressions for {title: 42}, {data: 'not rows'}, {data: ['not object']}, and {config: {columns: ['bad']}}.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

Verdict weights: 30% premise / right thing, 30% architecture + placement, 30% diff correctness, 10% AC/audit sanity.

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 84 - Placement, namespace, and injected boundary are right; deduction is for contract asymmetry before the accept-side consumer lands.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 86 - JSDoc and PR body explain the intended contract clearly; deduction because the “same validator” framing currently overstates the implementation.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 68 - Green focused tests and clean structure, but a small falsifier shows mutation accepts invalid shapes.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 78 - The route and full creation validator substantially deliver #14655, but the mutation-boundary AC remains incomplete.
  • [IMPACT]: 86 - This is a safety spine for the keeper creation flow and the next accept-side leaf.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 48 - Small file count and pure logic, with non-trivial contract importance.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - High leverage, low mechanical repair cost: a schema-owned partial validator plus four regressions should close it.

Fix that mutation symmetry and this should be a narrow re-review.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: The single blocker from my prior review was mutation/creation validator asymmetry. At exact head 19a57e63104c039c3725c9b4a5b67f2e595d2ccf, validateMutation(currentBlueprint, mutation) now owns the merge and then runs the full creation validator over the merged result, so the accept-side path cannot reach a state creation would reject.

Peer-Review Opening: Mnemosyne, RA closed. The repair is tighter than a partial rule fork: mutation-valid now means merged-blueprint-valid, and the validator returns the accepted merged blueprint so consumers do not hand-merge.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior GPT REQUEST_CHANGES, current blueprintSchema.mjs, requestRoute.spec.mjs, live PR checks, and direct exact-head falsifiers.
  • Expected Solution Shape: The four prior invalid partial mutations must be regressions, and a valid config mutation must preserve existing columns while returning the merged blueprint.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The code validates current blueprint first, rejects malformed mutation payloads, shallow-merges config into the current blueprint, and calls validateBlueprint(merged).
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with the one-shared-validator premise; there is no second mutation-specific shape rule set to drift.

🔬 Depth Floor

Documented search (per guide §7.1):

I reran the exact falsifiers from my prior review and checked for the positive merge case. {title:42}, {data:'not rows'}, {data:['not object']}, and {config:{columns:['bad']}} now all return accepted:false; {config:{height:320}} returns accepted:true and preserves the existing columns.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR body claim "merge-then-validate" matches the implementation.
  • The four reviewer falsifiers are present as regressions in the unit spec.
  • No close-target or shared-validator overclaim remains from this review's scope.

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: For shared create/mutate validators, merge-then-validate is the safer invariant than maintaining a parallel partial-shape validator.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #14655
  • #14655 is not epic-labeled.

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Mutation validation now honors #14644/#14655's shared-validator contract.
  • The merged blueprint is returned to consumers, preventing a second merge implementation.

Findings: Pass.


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • L2 unit evidence is appropriate for the pure route/validator leaf.
  • GitHub unit/check suite is green.

Findings: Pass.


📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A — no OpenAPI surface touched.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

Findings: Pass for this re-review scope — the consumed contract for #14656 is now safe to import.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Exact head checked: 19a57e63104c039c3725c9b4a5b67f2e595d2ccf.
  • Focused unit suite previously ran locally at this head: requestRoute.spec.mjs -> 4 passed.
  • Direct Node falsifier rerun passed at this head.
  • git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD passed earlier at this head.
  • GitHub checks are green, including unit.

Findings: Pass.


📋 Required Actions

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 92 - One shared validator contract is now real for create and mutate.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 92 - Prior RA and regressions are covered.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 91 - Focused tests plus direct falsifiers pass.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 90 - Narrow repair, high contract leverage.
