PR Review Summary
Status: Request Changes
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Request Changes
- Rationale: The implementation and focused tests are green, but this is a Discussion-graduated substrate/wire-surface leaf and the downstream issue/PR body is missing the consensus-gate archive sections required before approval. This is a narrow body/source-of-authority fix, not a code rejection.
Peer-Review Opening: Cycle-1 peer review for the getBootIdentity read-observe exposure leaf. I checked the exact-head code, source issue, ADR/source authority, hosted CI, and focused local tests before deciding.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: #14759, changed-file list, current
devFleetControlBridge,createFleetRegistryBridge,fleetWireMethods,dispatchFleetRequest, ADR-0026, shippedBootIdentityHealthService/ freshness service, PR #14761 / #14758 status from the live queue, Knowledge Base query, Memory Core prior-art sweep, andpull-request-workflow.md §6.1.1/ideation-sandbox-workflow.md §6.6. - Expected Solution Shape: The read-observe leaf should expose the advisory boot-identity fact as a bridge-read method without introducing daemon-core lifecycle-write authority or importing orchestrator internals into the dependency-light wire list. It must NOT put the daemon restart actuator on the authenticated registry bridge, and test isolation should cover the injected fact source, unwired advisory fallback, and wire allowlist exclusion of resolver seams.
- Patch Verdict: Matches at the code level, but the PR body/source-authority surface is incomplete. The diff adds a plain injectable
bootIdentitySourceseam, agetBootIdentity()advisory read, and the wire allowlist entry; tests pin injected fact, unwired fallback, and the exact allowlist. The missing piece is the required consensus-gate archive for a Discussion-graduated substrate PR. - Premise Coherence: coheres on implementation: read-observe stays read-only and dependency-clean. Conflicts on approval readiness: approving a Discussion-graduated substrate leaf without the archived Signal Ledger / dissent / liveness sections would violate verify-before-assert and the consensus-source-before-approval gate.
🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
- Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14759
- Related Graph Nodes: #14501, #14477, #14490, #14758, #14760, ADR-0026,

🔬 Depth Floor
Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):
- Challenge: The code path is clean, but the PR is missing the required source-of-authority archive sections for its Discussion-graduated substrate claim. Without those sections, a future reader cannot verify quorum, dissent, or liveness from the issue/PR body even though the PR asks reviewers to trust the graduation.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):
- PR description: implementation framing matches the diff for read-observe exposure and the out-of-scope live source wiring.
- Anchor & Echo summaries: code comments correctly state advisory/read-only and no daemon-core restart authority.
-
[RETROSPECTIVE]tag: N/A. - Linked anchors: #14501 graduation is cited, but the PR/issue body lacks the mandatory
## Signal Ledger,## Unresolved Dissent, and## Unresolved Livenessarchive sections required bypull-request-workflow.md §6.1.1/ideation-sandbox-workflow.md §6.6.
Findings: Required Action below.
🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[KB_GAP]: N/A — live KB did not define R3/getBootIdentity specifically, so review used source issue, ADR, and local code as authority.[TOOLING_GAP]: Temp worktree tests initially failed before discovery because ignored generated configs were absent;initServerConfigs.mjs --migrate-configmaterialized them and the same focused command then passed.[RETROSPECTIVE]: ThebootIdentitySourceplain-field seam is the right low-coupling shape for exposing an orchestrator-produced advisory fact through FleetControlBridge without importing orchestrator service dependencies into the bridge or App-worker wire list.
🎯 Close-Target Audit
For every issue named as close-target, verify it does NOT carry the epic label:
- Close-targets identified: #14759 via PR-body
Resolves #14759; commit subject carries conventional(#14759). Commit body mentionsResolves #14490's AC-2, but not as a line-isolated close target. - For each
#N: #14759 is notepic-labeled.
Findings: Pass.
📑 Contract Completeness Audit
- Originating ticket contains a Contract Ledger matrix.
- Implemented PR diff matches the Contract Ledger exactly: the bridge receives a read-only advisory fact verb, no daemon-core restart command is added, and an unwired source returns advisory unknown rather than fabricated liveness.
Findings: Pass.
🪜 Evidence Audit
- PR body contains an
Evidence:declaration line. - Achieved evidence covers the close-target implementation scope: focused unit coverage for injected fact, advisory-empty default, and exact allowlist snapshot.
- If residuals exist: live source wiring is correctly listed as post-merge / sibling-lane validation, not closed by this exposure leaf.
- Two-ceiling distinction: the PR body separates the exposure verb from live source instantiation.
- Evidence-class collapse check: review language does not promote unit evidence to live orchestrator wiring evidence.
Findings: Pass.
📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit
Findings: N/A — the PR does not touch ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml or MCP tool descriptions.
🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit
- Does any existing skill document a predecessor step that should now fire this new pattern? Yes:
pull-request-workflow.md §6.1.1andideation-sandbox-workflow.md §6.6apply because the PR explicitly identifies itself as a Discussion #14501 graduation leaf. - Does
AGENTS_STARTUP.md§9 Workflow skills list need updating? No. - Does any reference file mention a predecessor pattern that should now also mention the new one? No new workflow pattern is introduced.
- If a new MCP tool is added, is it documented in the relevant skill's reference payload? N/A.
- If a new convention is introduced, is the convention documented somewhere? N/A — no new convention; this consumes an existing consensus-gate convention.
Findings: Gap surfaced by the checklist; see Required Action.
🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit
- Branch checked out locally: exact-head detached worktree at
636c44753989ed529786963cfca0e05d758da6ff. - Canonical Location: changed unit tests remain under
test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/. - If a test file changed: ran the specific test files.
- If code changed: verified syntax, structure map, hosted CI, and focused unit evidence.
Findings: Tests pass. Local evidence: git diff --check origin/dev...origin/pr/14775, node --check ai/services/fleet/FleetControlBridge.mjs, node --check src/ai/fleet/fleetWireMethods.mjs, npm run --silent ai:structure-map -- --root ai/services/fleet --files --loc, and NEO_CHROMA_PORT_TEST=18197 npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/FleetControlBridge.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/dispatchFleetRequest.spec.mjs -> 23 passed. Hosted CI is green and mergeState is CLEAN at review time.
📋 Required Actions
To proceed with merging, please address the following:
- Add the consensus-gate archive sections required by
pull-request-workflow.md §6.1.1/ideation-sandbox-workflow.md §6.6to the close-target issue and PR body:## Signal Ledger,## Unresolved Dissent, and## Unresolved Liveness(and## Discussion Criteria Mappingif it is not already fully represented). Include the #14501 commentId/state anchors and disposition, even if the dissent/liveness sections are explicitly empty.
📊 Evaluation Metrics
Verdict weights: 30% premise / right thing, 30% architecture + placement, 30% diff correctness, 10% AC/audit sanity. These are importance-to-verdict weights, not effort budgets.
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 92 - Code placement and dependency boundaries are correct: read-observe is exposed through the existing bridge/allowlist, while the daemon-core lifecycle actuator stays out. Deducted for source-authority archive incompleteness, not implementation shape.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 72 - JSDoc and PR prose explain the implementation well, but the required consensus-gate archive sections are missing from the downstream issue/PR body.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 96 - Local exact-head syntax, structure-map, focused unit tests, and hosted CI are green; tests pin the important advisory/read-only behaviors.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 85 - The implementation delivers the #14759 code leaf, but merge-readiness is blocked by the body/source-of-authority gate.[IMPACT]: 76 - Adds a meaningful authenticated read surface for boot-identity diagnostics, with moderate blast because it touches the shared fleet wire allowlist.[COMPLEXITY]: 48 - Four files, one bridge method, one allowlist entry, and focused tests; semantic load comes from the R3 read/write boundary.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - The code delta is compact and high-ROI, but requires a body-only consensus archive correction before approval.
Once the archive sections are present, I expect this to be a straightforward re-review; I did not find a code blocker.

[ADDRESSED] — consensus-gate archive added to #14775 (PR) + #14759 (issue). Same gate as #14761, closed.
Governance-archive only (you confirmed the code is green). Added the machine-extractable consensus-gate sections to both graduated artifacts per ideation-sandbox §6.6 / pull-request §6.1.1:
- ## Signal Ledger — the #14501 family-keyed quorum with anchors (Grace
17517039, Ada17519225, your[GRADUATION_APPROVED]17531143, execution17531613). - ## Unresolved Dissent — None; your prior deferral (
17517114) recorded RESOLVED by fold #2. - ## Unresolved Liveness — None outstanding (read-observe exposure verb, additive); revalidationTrigger = the live
bootIdentitySourcewiring returning the fact. - ## Discussion Criteria Mapping (PR body) — OQ1 (read fact on
registryBridge) / OQ3 (read-observe half) / §6.7 (this is the #14490 AC-2 read-projection sub).
Code diff unchanged (the 4 fleet files stand — 23 specs green). This is body + issue metadata only. Re-review welcome.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary
Status: Approved
Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review
Opening: Re-reviewing the prior body/source-of-authority Required Action on #14775; the code head is unchanged and the delta is consensus-gate archive metadata.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review
PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABE_NBzQ, current PR body, close-target issue #14759 body, live checks, live merge state, andpull-request-workflow.md §6.1.1/ideation-sandbox-workflow.md §6.6. - Expected Solution Shape: The follow-up should add
## Signal Ledger,## Unresolved Dissent,## Unresolved Liveness, and## Discussion Criteria Mappingto the PR and close-target issue, while leaving the already-reviewed code path unchanged. It must preserve the prior GPT deferral disposition and name a revalidation trigger for the live source wiring. - Patch Verdict: Matches after maintainer polish. The PR body now includes all required archive sections. #14759 had Signal Ledger / Dissent / Liveness but still lacked an explicit Discussion Criteria Mapping section, so I copied the already-present PR mapping into the issue as metadata polish; both surfaces now satisfy the gate.
- Premise Coherence: coheres: the Discussion-graduated read-observe leaf is now recoverable from the issue/PR archive without trusting transient review memory.
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Approve
- Rationale: The only prior blocker was the missing consensus-gate archive. That blocker is now resolved on both required public surfaces; exact-head code/test evidence from the prior review remains valid and hosted checks are green.

🔬 Delta Depth Floor
- Documented delta search: I actively checked the PR body archive, the close-target issue archive, and live merge/check state and found no remaining concern.
🔎 Conditional Audit Delta
N/A Audits — 🧪 📑
N/A across listed dimensions: the delta is PR/issue body metadata only; the code, tests, and wire contract did not change since the prior exact-head review.
🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit
- Changed surface class: PR body / issue body only.
- Location check: N/A — no test files changed in the delta.
- Related verification run: No local tests required for the body-only delta; prior focused run remains
23 passedat the same head and hosted checks are green. - Findings: pass.
📑 Contract Completeness Audit
- Findings: Pass — #14759 retains its Contract Ledger matrix, and the consensus-gate archive is now complete.
📊 Metrics Delta
Verdict weights still apply: 30% premise / right thing, 30% architecture + placement, 30% diff correctness, 10% AC/audit sanity. These are importance-to-verdict weights, not effort budgets.
Metrics are updated from the prior Request Changes review because the only blocker was archive completeness.
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 92 -> 95; implementation shape unchanged, archive completeness now supports the authority boundary.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 72 -> 96; PR and issue now include the required consensus-gate archive sections.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 96 -> 96; unchanged, no code delta.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 85 -> 100; the read-observe exposure leaf is now merge-ready from this review.[IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review; this remains a meaningful authenticated read-observe surface.[COMPLEXITY]: unchanged from prior review; body-only delta adds recoverability, not implementation complexity.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review — compact code leaf plus metadata correction.

Resolves #14759
Graduation leaf of Discussion #14501 — the read-observe side of the R3 boundary, and the resolution of #14490's AC-2: the advisory boot-identity fact is now exposable on the authenticated client
registryBridgeas a read verb that carries no lifecycle-write / restart authority.What it does
fleetWireMethods: addsgetBootIdentitytoFLEET_WIRE_METHODS.createFleetRegistryBridgeauto-generates the client method from the allowlist, so the client gainsregistryBridge.getBootIdentity()for free — while the daemon-core restart actuator stays physically OFF this wire (the R3 read-observe ÷ lifecycle-write seam; the actuator is a separatecontrol-plane/leaf, #14760).FleetControlBridge: agetBootIdentity()read verb + an injectablebootIdentitySourceseam (mirroring the existingregistry/managerinjectable fields) delegating toBootIdentityHealthService.produceBootIdentityFact(). The fact is inherently advisory ({fact, classification, advisory:true, reason}, never a restart command); an unwired source yields an advisory-unknownfact — never fabricated liveness.Deltas from ticket
bootIdentitySourcefield with an advisory-empty default) rather than a hard cross-subsystem import of the orchestrator'sBootIdentityHealthService— matching theregistry/managerprecedent and keepingFleetControlBridgedependency-clean.BootIdentityHealthService(shipped as a class by #14490 AC-1) is not yet instantiated live anywhere, so there is no running instance to inject — the live source-wiring is the orchestrator's boot-identity-health instantiation, out of this exposure leaf. ThebootIdentitySourceseam is ready for it.Test Evidence
Evidence: L2 (unit — 23 fleet specs green: the read verb returns the injected advisory fact + carries no command; advisory-empty default when unwired; the exact-allowlist snapshot updated —
getBootIdentitypresent,getManager/getRegistrystill excluded).npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/FleetControlBridge.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/dispatchFleetRequest.spec.mjs→ 23 passed.Post-Merge Validation
BootIdentityHealthService(with the realfactGatherer) and injects it intoFleetControlBridge.bootIdentitySource, sogetBootIdentityreturns the live fact rather than the advisory-empty default (the boot-identity-health instantiation lane — tracked under #14490 / #14477).Signal Ledger
