Resolves #14777 · Refs #14598 (FM cockpit AgentCard) · Refs #14560 (FM cockpit UI/UX epic) · Refs #14755 (card component, PR #14774)

The avatar-data bridge — the last link that makes per-agent profile avatars flow end-to-end (@tobiu's directive: "we spend quite the effort to create one for each you").

Evidence: VBA of the full pipeline this turn —

  • Storage ✓FleetManager.setAvatar({id, avatarUrl}) persists metadata.avatarUrl on the agent's registry def (ai/services/fleet/FleetManager.mjs).
  • Render ✓ — the AgentCard (PR #14774) binds a profile-avatar Image to avatarUrl.
  • Bridge (this PR) — the cockpit DTO now hoists avatarUrl into the row.

What it changes

One line in src/ai/fleet/fleetCockpitStatus.mjs: hoist avatarUrl: publicAgent.metadata?.avatarUrl ?? null into the row, beside the other flat display fields (displayName, githubUsername, harnessType). The card-wall binds row.avatarUrl exactly as it binds row.displayName — no digging into row.agent.metadata. null when unset (never undefined — a clean bindable contract). Source verified: sanitizePayload preserves metadata recursively.

Test Evidence

npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/fleetCockpitStatus.spec.mjs6 passed (was 5). New test: a row hoists avatarUrl from metadata.avatarUrl, and an agent with no avatar recorded surfaces null.

Post-Merge Validation

  • With this on dev, the cockpit DTO carries row.avatarUrl; the AgentCard card-wall (sibling leaf of #14598) binds each resident's avatar to real data, populated as FleetManager.setAvatar is called per agent.

Deltas from ticket

Exactly the scoped hoist + its test — purely additive (no other row field changes). The avatar assets themselves (the per-agent images the operator/team creates) are supplied as data via setAvatar; this PR makes the pipeline carry them, it does not create them.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: This is a narrow additive DTO field that completes the already-established storage → DTO → AgentCard avatar path. The diff is one production line plus a focused null-contract unit test; local evidence and hosted CI are green.

Peer-Review Opening: Cycle-1 peer review for the AgentCard avatar-data bridge. I checked the source issue, storage path, DTO sanitizer, AgentCard consumer premise, exact-head diff, local unit evidence, hosted CI, and wire-format compatibility before scoring.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14777, changed-file list, current dev fleetCockpitStatus, FleetManager.setAvatar, FleetRegistryService/KB context for metadata storage, PR #14774 AgentCard premise, and Memory Core prior-art sweep.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A correct bridge should hoist the existing metadata.avatarUrl presentation reference into a flat nullable cockpit row field, matching displayName-style display fields. It must NOT create avatar assets, change other row fields, expose secrets from metadata, or require consumers to dig into row.agent.metadata. Test isolation should prove present-avatar and absent-avatar contracts in the focused DTO unit spec.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The diff adds avatarUrl: publicAgent.metadata?.avatarUrl ?? null after sanitizePayload(agent), leaves other row fields untouched, and adds a unit test for populated and unset avatar values.
  • Premise Coherence: coheres: verify-before-assert is satisfied by storage/render/bridge checks; the change preserves the two-hemisphere boundary by keeping a Body-side DTO row field dependency-light; no flat-peer/team or no-hold surface is affected.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14777
  • Related Graph Nodes: #14598, #14560, #14755, #14774, src/ai/fleet/fleetCockpitStatus.mjs, FleetManager.setAvatar, AgentCard.avatarUrl

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

  • Documented search: I actively looked for other row-field drift, secret-shaped metadata leakage, and a missing null contract for agents without avatars, and found no concerns.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches the diff; it is the DTO bridge only, not avatar asset creation or card-wall mounting.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: source comments/test prose correctly frame avatarUrl as display data from metadata.avatarUrl.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A.
  • Linked anchors: #14777 / #14755 / #14774 support the stated storage-to-render pipeline.

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: N/A — KB surfaced the FleetControlBridge/FleetRegistry metadata path; local code supplied the exact DTO contract.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: N/A.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: For card-grain display fields, the clean contract is a flat row field over sanitized public agent metadata. Consumers should bind row.avatarUrl, not spelunk through row.agent.metadata.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

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

  • Close-targets identified: #14777 via PR-body Resolves #14777; commit subject carries conventional (#14777) and the commit body has no hidden close keyword.
  • For each #N: #14777 is not epic-labeled.

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket contains the scoped DTO contract: top-level avatarUrl from metadata.avatarUrl, null when unset, purely additive.
  • Implemented PR diff matches the scoped contract exactly, with unit coverage for both populated and absent avatar values.

Findings: Pass.


🪜 Evidence Audit

Findings: N/A — close-target ACs are fully covered by focused unit/static evidence; the live card-wall binding remains post-merge/sibling validation and is not claimed as delivered here.


📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A — the PR does not touch ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml or MCP tool descriptions.


Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

  • Change type: additive nullable DTO row field (avatarUrl).
  • Backward compatibility: existing consumers continue to receive all prior row fields; agents without avatars receive null, not undefined.
  • Secret/privacy boundary: value is derived from sanitizePayload(agent); existing recursive secret-key stripping remains in force before the flat field is read.
  • Downstream expectation: AgentCard already binds an avatarUrl display field; this supplies the row-side data without changing card identity semantics.

Findings: Pass.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • Does any existing skill document a predecessor step that should now fire this new pattern? No — this is an internal DTO field, not a workflow convention.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Findings: All checks pass — no integration gaps.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally: exact-head detached worktree at f677cac35bfbb6f4af5bae1f15f0cef003a0cb07.
  • Canonical Location: changed unit test remains under test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/.
  • If a test file changed: ran the specific test file.
  • 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/14778, node --check src/ai/fleet/fleetCockpitStatus.mjs, npm run --silent ai:structure-map -- --root src/ai/fleet --files --loc, and NEO_CHROMA_PORT_TEST=18198 npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/fleetCockpitStatus.spec.mjs -> 6 passed. Hosted CI is green; GitHub reports MERGEABLE/CLEAN.

📊 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]: 96 - Correct dependency-light DTO placement, flat display-field contract, no core/Brain service import leakage, and no src/core/Base.mjs / src/Neo.mjs touch.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 94 - PR body and test describe the storage/render/bridge pipeline and the null contract; minor residual is that live wall verification remains a post-merge sibling validation.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 98 - One-line additive implementation after sanitization, focused test for present/absent cases, local checks green, hosted CI green.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 - Fully delivers #14777’s scoped bridge.
  • [IMPACT]: 58 - Small but useful DTO completion that unlocks real avatar binding for AgentCard; not a broad architecture change.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 18 - Two files, one production field, one focused test.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - Low-complexity, high-leverage bridge in an already-shaped pipeline.

This is merge-eligible from my side.
