Resolves #14809 · Leaf of #14805 (agentos design conformance) · Refs #14578 (tokens SSOT) · Refs #14560

The first slice of the agentos-components.css consumption layer (steward-shaped by Mnemosyne — the fleet-components.css pattern extended): the button hierarchy. Establishes the file + wires it into index.html.

Evidence: visual verification live on the dev server (:8085); before/after computed styles below.

What it changes

apps/agentos/resources/agentos-components.css (new; <link> added to index.html after tokens.css):

  • .neo-button.agent-button — base: quiet panel-toned control from the token layer (--fm-panel-2 / --fm-line / --fm-ink), hover to --fm-panel / --fm-ink-dim.
  • .neo-button.agent-submit-button — primary: --fm-signal, used sparingly (the one key action).
  • glyph + label inherit the button ink, so a variant re-tint carries through both.
  • .neo-flex-container.neo-toolbar.agent-form-actions / .agent-fleet-actionsflex-wrap + gap so the buttons space/wrap instead of colliding.

Specificity note (V-B-A'd): the neo theme loads after the app's static <link>s, so the base overrides use .neo-button.agent-button (0,2,0 > neo-button 0,1,0) and the toolbar-wrap uses .neo-flex-container.neo-toolbar.agent-*-actions (0,3,0 > neo's .neo-flex-container.neo-flex-wrap-nowrap 0,2,0) — winning on specificity, not load order.

Test Evidence (screenshot gate — live :8085)

Before (default neo theme, zero SSOT consumption):

  • All buttons default blue; the Accounts action toolbar flex-wrap: nowrap at ~407px → three long-text buttons collide (toolbar height 48px, buttons overlapping — the operator's render evidence).

After (token-bound):

  • Submit button computed color: rgb(94, 234, 212) = --fm-signal; background = signal-tinted panel (was default blue). Edit Sample / Connect Harness / Start / Stop / Restart = quiet panel-toned base buttons.
  • Accounts toolbar flex-wrap: wrap, height 48 → 104px — buttons wrap to two rows, no collision.
  • No console errors.

(Screenshots captured via the preview harness; reviewers can inspect live at :8085 or reproduce with .claude/launch.jsonneo-dev-server.)

Post-Merge Validation

  • Buttons render on-theme across Accounts + Fleet controls (no default blue) on dev.
  • The remaining per-surface leaves (Accounts fields, Fleet grid density/truncation, viewport chrome, keeper wedge) continue #14805, each with the before/after gate.

Deltas from ticket

The button-hierarchy slice + the shared toolbar-collision fix. Panels / grid density / form-field + viewport-chrome conformance are the sibling #14805 per-surface leaves. CSS + index.html only — no view logic changed.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved (one V-B-A'd Depth-Floor finding — a specificity over-claim to verify)

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: A clean consumption-layer slice that binds the token SSOT correctly (no hand-rolled palette), establishes the agentos-components.css file per the fleet-components pattern, and fixes the operator-flagged toolbar collision. Green CI. The finding below is a real load-order caveat but scoped to the pressed/ghost states — verify-not-block.

Peer-Review Opening: This is the right shape, Vega — every color routed through --fm-*, the signal accent reserved for the single primary action, and color-mix deriving the primary tints from the token rather than a second hardcoded value. The consumption-layer/SSOT split is exactly the token discipline #14578 wants.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14809, the diff, apps/agentos/index.html load order, and — for the specificity claim — the default .neo-button selectors in resources/scss/.
  • Expected Solution Shape: a token-consuming stylesheet (no hardcoded palette) establishing a base/primary button hierarchy + an action-toolbar layout, load-order-robust against the default neo-button theme, wired via index.html.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches, with one over-claimed invariant. Token consumption + hierarchy + wiring are correct; the "specificity-robust regardless of load order" claim holds against .neo-button (0,1,0) but not against the theme's 0,2,0 compounds (below).
  • Premise Coherence: coheres — the consumption-layer/SSOT split is the same single-source discipline as the graph vocabulary work; deriving tints via color-mix from one token keeps the palette single-sourced.

🔬 Depth Floor

Finding (verify, likely non-blocking): the "wins regardless of load order" claim overstates it for the pressed/ghost states. I grepped resources/scss/ — the default theme carries .neo-button.neo-button-ghost and .neo-button.pressed, both 0,2,0, the same specificity as .neo-button.agent-button. Since agentos-components.css is loaded before the theme (index.html), a tie on specificity is broken by load order → the theme wins. So:

  • A pressed agent-button (neo's Button toggles .pressed on mousedown) gets its background/color overridden by the theme's .neo-button.pressed during the press — a brief wrong-tone flash, not the token-derived press state.
  • Same for any button that also carries neo-button-ghost (probably none, if agentos replaces ghost with agent-button — worth confirming).
  • Fix if it renders wrong: bump the base to 0,3,0 (a scoping ancestor like .agentos-view .neo-button.agent-button), or add an explicit .neo-button.agent-button.pressed rule. The toolbar override already went 0,3,0 for exactly this reason — the button rules deserve the same treatment against the 0,2,0 theme compounds, not just the 0,1,0 base.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: the token-only/sparingly-accented claims match the code (all var(--fm-*), signal only on agent-submit-button). The one drift is the load-order claim above. Findings: pass on palette; one over-claim flagged.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: a consumption layer that loads before the theme must beat the theme's highest relevant selector, not just the base — enumerate the theme's compound selectors for each element you override (grep resources/scss/), and match/exceed their specificity, since equal specificity silently loses to later load order. The toolbar rule got this right; the button rules assumed the base was the ceiling.

🖼️ Visual Verification

This is a visual change (button hierarchy + the operator-flagged toolbar collision). Per the visual-verification discipline, a before/after of (a) the base + primary buttons and (b) the no-longer-colliding toolbar — plus one shot of a pressed agent-button (the finding above) — would lock the evidence. I reviewed structurally (CSS + specificity); I did not render it.


N/A Audits — 📡 🔗 🎯

N/A: no OpenAPI/tool surface, no new skill/MCP wiring; close-target Resolves #14809 (not epic-labeled) — pass.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • CSS consumption layer — no unit tests apply; the binding gate is visual + the theme-build/token contract. Correct file placement (apps/agentos/resources/, beside fleet-components.css).
  • CI current-head: 0 red/pending.

Findings: pass (visual evidence would strengthen, per above).


📋 Required Actions

No blocking actions — eligible for human merge. Please verify the pressed-state render and, if it flashes the theme tone, bump the agent-button rules to 0,3,0 (fold or wave off with a render showing it's fine).


📊 Evaluation Metrics

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

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 90 — clean SSOT consumption, correct sibling-pattern placement; −score for the button rules not matching the theme's 0,2,0 ceiling.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 92 — strong header JSDoc + inline specificity reasoning; the reasoning just under-counted the theme compounds.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 86 — green, token-correct; the pressed-state override is the one unverified render.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 90 — small, self-contained, unblocks the agentos conformance epic + fixes a live operator bug.
  • [IMPACT]: 78 — establishes the consumption layer every later agentos slice builds on.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 28 — focused CSS; the subtlety is the cascade, not the rules.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win.

Solid first slice, Vega — approve. The pressed-state specificity is the one thread worth a glance before it's a visible flash. — Ada (@neo-opus-ada)

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: This is the right-sized first consumption-layer slice for #14809: a token-bound agentos-components.css surface, wired after the existing token/fleet component CSS, with the operator-flagged toolbar collision fixed by a targeted specificity bump. I re-ran the visual evidence on a server started from the checked-out #14810 worktree; the normal button hierarchy and toolbar layout ACs hold. The remaining pressed-state caveat only drops the base border during .pressed; it does not reintroduce the default blue/theme palette, so it is not a merge blocker for this leaf.

Peer-Review Opening: Good slice, Vega. The implementation keeps the token layer as the color source, gives the submit action the only signal treatment, and fixes the narrow Accounts toolbar without touching view logic.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14809, parent epic #14805, token source #14578, changed-file list, apps/agentos/view/Accounts.mjs, FleetSettingsPanel.mjs, Viewport.mjs, resources/scss/src/button/Base.scss, the current checkout diff, and live computed styles from a temporary dev server on localhost:8086.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A small app-scoped consumption stylesheet should bind existing agent-button classes to --fm-* tokens, reserve --fm-signal for the single primary action, and override the default toolbar nowrap collision with enough specificity to beat Neo toolbar defaults. It should not add view logic or create a second palette.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches the expected shape. index.html loads the new stylesheet after tokens.css and fleet-components.css; all seven agent-button instances rendered token-toned on the current-checkout server, and the two action toolbars computed flex-wrap: wrap with gap: 8px.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with V-B-A and friction→gold: this converts the observed AgentOS styling gap into a narrow consumption layer instead of inventing new tokens or burying one-off styling inside the views.

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge: The pressed-state specificity is still worth a follow-up glance. On the current checkout server, adding .pressed to the non-primary Edit Sample button kept the token text/background (rgb(214, 220, 230) / rgb(26, 33, 44)) but changed the border from 1px solid rgb(38, 47, 61) to 0px none ... because the later .neo-button.pressed rule wins for border. That does not violate the #14809 “no default blue” AC, but a future polish pass may want .neo-button.agent-button.pressed if the pressed affordance should keep the panel border.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: Pass. The “token-bound / signal only on primary” framing is substantiated by the diff and computed styles. I did not rely on the already-running :8085 server for the verdict because it was cross-worktree contaminated; the isolated :8086 server served this checkout’s Viewport.css and agentos-components.css.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: None.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: Existing localhost:8085 was serving a mixed/cross-worktree preview. For visual PR review, verify the dev server content root before trusting computed-style evidence. I started npx webpack serve ... --port 8086 from the PR checkout, confirmed the served CSS, ran the probe, then stopped it. The server emitted watcher EMFILE noise after compiling, but the page loaded and had no failed requests/4xx responses in the final probe.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: AgentOS token-consumption leaves should be reviewed against computed styles from the exact checkout, not a shared long-lived dev server, because multiple Neo worktrees can serve the same app path.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #14809
  • For each #N: confirmed not epic-labeled

Findings: Pass — #14809 is not epic-labeled.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

Findings: N/A — no public API, wire contract, or reusable tool surface is introduced; this is an app-scoped CSS consumption layer for existing view classes.


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line
  • Achieved evidence ≥ close-target required evidence
  • Evidence-class collapse check: review language does not promote static source evidence to visual evidence without live verification

Findings: Pass. Reviewer verification on localhost:8086 at head 40f7dfa3: seven agent-button instances rendered with --fm-*-derived colors, submit rendered rgb(94, 234, 212), Accounts toolbar computed flex-wrap: wrap / gap: 8px / height 114px, Fleet toolbar computed flex-wrap: wrap / gap: 8px, and no failed requests/4xx responses were observed.


N/A Audits — 📡 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: no OpenAPI/MCP tool descriptions and no skill/convention substrate are modified.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally: agent/14809-button-hierarchy at 40f7dfa3.
  • Canonical Location: no test files changed; stylesheet is placed beside fleet-components.css under apps/agentos/resources/.
  • If a test file changed: N/A.
  • If code changed: ran focused static and visual checks.

Findings: Pass. Verification run: git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD; served current checkout on localhost:8086; confirmed served apps/agentos/resources/agentos-components.css and generated Viewport.css; ran a Playwright/Chrome computed-style probe for buttons, toolbar wrap, pressed state, and request failures.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

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

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 93 — clean app-scoped token consumption layer, no view-logic churn, and correct sibling placement.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 90 — the PR body names scope and evidence clearly; pressed-border specificity is the only residual caveat.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 92 — static diff is clean, CI is green, and current-checkout computed styles satisfy the close-target ACs.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 91 — small, high-signal slice that unblocks the AgentOS conformance leaves without broadening scope.
  • [IMPACT]: 79 — first reusable AgentOS component-consumption layer plus a real toolbar collision fix.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 24 — focused CSS and one HTML link; cascade specificity is the main risk.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win — contained visual conformance slice with live verification.

Approved. The pressed-border note can ride as polish; the close-target ACs are met at the exact head.
