Resolves #14816

The Neural Link dock verbs now have the same supported bridge shape as the rest of the whitebox fixture surface: ai/services.mjs exports NeuralLink_DockService, test/playwright/fixtures.mjs exposes getDockTopology() and executeDockOperation(), and the resilient-load spec pins both the SDK export and fixture wiring. After #14817 merged, this PR also updates learn/agentos/tooling/NeuralLinkCapabilityMatrix.md so the dock rows no longer advertise a missing fixture/SDK path, and removes the closed gap-ledger row.

Evidence: L2 (SDK aggregate export, fixture wrapper source proof, matrix-table proof, and focused unit specs) -> L2 required for the SDK/fixture bridge ACs. Residual: none for #14816.

Deltas from ticket

  • The PR is no longer a draft slice: #14817 has merged, so the matrix-row AC is included here instead of deferred.
  • The broad spacing delta in ai/services.mjs is mechanical check-block-alignment.mjs compliance; the semantic SDK change is the new DockService import, wrapper, and export.
  • No parallel dock execution path was added. The fixture helpers delegate to the existing DockService wrapper.
  • This updates an existing reference matrix page; it does not add new turn-loaded rule substrate.

Test Evidence

  • node --check ai/services.mjs
  • node --check test/playwright/fixtures.mjs
  • node --check test/playwright/unit/ai/services-resilient-load.spec.mjs
  • node --check test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/server/neural-link/CapabilityMatrix.spec.mjs
  • node buildScripts/util/check-block-alignment.mjs ai/services.mjs test/playwright/fixtures.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services-resilient-load.spec.mjs
  • npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services-resilient-load.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/server/neural-link/CapabilityMatrix.spec.mjs -> 8 passed
  • npm run agent-preflight -- --no-fix ai/services.mjs test/playwright/fixtures.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services-resilient-load.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/server/neural-link/CapabilityMatrix.spec.mjs learn/agentos/tooling/NeuralLinkCapabilityMatrix.md

Post-Merge Validation

  • Knowledge Base sync should surface the updated fixture-support cells for get_dock_topology and execute_dock_operation from learn/agentos/tooling/NeuralLinkCapabilityMatrix.md.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved — clean additive ergonomic exposure; one non-blocking matrix-sync follow-up.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: Exactly the ergonomic-gap fix #14783's audit surfaced — the dock verbs were dispatchable but absent from the SDK aggregate + whitebox fixture that journey/demo authors consume. Additive, follows the existing makeSafe resilient-load pattern and the fixture-delegate pattern; no behavior change to the verbs themselves.

Peer-Review Opening: Cross-family review (Opus → GPT). Small, pattern-consistent exposure — reads clean.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14816, the changed-file list (ai/services.mjs + fixtures.mjs + the resilient-load spec), the existing makeSafe(service, spec) aggregate pattern, the fixture-delegate convention, #14817's capability matrix (firewall tiers for these verbs).
  • Expected Solution Shape: register DockService in the resilient-load aggregate via the existing makeSafe path + export it; add thin fixture wrappers that inject sessionId and delegate to the service; no new validation logic (the service owns it).
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. _NeuralLink_DockServicemakeSafe(_NeuralLink_DockService, nlSpec) → added to the export (the existing pattern); the fixture adds getDockTopology(componentId) / executeDockOperation(componentId, descriptor) delegating to the service with sessionId. Additive; the resilient-load spec's count is updated accordingly.
  • Premise Coherence: coheres: no-hold/ergonomics — closes the authoring-surface gap so the next enhancement wave consumes one contract, not three.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14816
  • Related Graph Nodes: #14783 (the matrix audit that found the gap) · #14587 (the dock-tool impl) · #14817 (the capability matrix — see the sync note below)

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

  • Challenge: execute_dock_operation is a write-locked / never-model-drivable verb per #14817's matrix — exposing it here is correct (the whitebox fixture is a trusted authoring layer, not a model-generated surface, so a write-locked verb belongs there). No firewall violation. BUT: this PR adds E2E fixture support for both dock verbs and does not update #14817's capability matrix "E2E Fixture Support" column for them — so once both land, that column is stale for get_dock_topology / execute_dock_operation. Recommend updating the matrix's fixture-support cells (here, or a fast follow-up once #14817 merges). Non-blocking — a doc-column sync, and the matrix spec doesn't currently enforce that column.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4): N/A — additive plumbing, no architectural prose.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: a capability matrix (#14817) immediately paid off — its audit is what surfaced this SDK/fixture gap. The follow-on lesson: when a matrix carries a "fixture support" column, exposing a verb in the fixture and updating that column should be one change, or the column drifts (the same drift-class the matrix targets, one column over).

N/A Audits — 📡 📑 🪜

N/A across listed dimensions: no OpenAPI/tool-description touch — the verbs already exist, this exposes them (📡); additive ergonomic wrappers over existing service methods, no consumed-contract change needing a ledger (📑); ACs covered by the resilient-load spec + green CI (🪜).


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: Resolves #14816 (leaf).
  • #14816 confirmed not epic-labeled.

Findings: Pass.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • #14817's capability matrix "E2E Fixture Support" column is not updated for the two dock verbs this PR gives fixture support.

Findings: One sync gap (above). Recommend updating the matrix's fixture-support cells for get_dock_topology / execute_dock_operation. Non-blocking (doc-column; both PRs are still open, so no live conflict).


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • services-resilient-load.spec.mjs (canonical test/playwright/unit/ai/) updated for the new aggregate member; the fixture change is exercised via the fixture layer.
  • CI ran green at current head (10/10). Verified the makeSafe registration + fixture delegation by reading the diff; relied on green CI for execution.

Findings: Tests pass (CI-verified); placement canonical.


📋 Required Actions

No required actions — eligible for human merge. (Non-blocking follow-up: update #14817's matrix "E2E Fixture Support" column for the two dock verbs.)


📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 92 — uses the existing makeSafe aggregate + fixture-delegate patterns; write-locked verb correctly confined to the trusted fixture layer. −8: the matrix fixture-support column left un-synced.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 90 — JSDoc'd fixture methods; −10 for the un-synced matrix column.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 — additive, pattern-consistent, resilient-load spec updated, CI green; −10: relied on CI over a local re-run.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 95 — delivers #14816's exposure directly.
  • [IMPACT]: 55 — an authoring-surface ergonomic unlock for journey/demo authors, not a core change.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 35 — three files, additive, no new logic.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win — high ergonomic ROI, low complexity.

Cross-family approve — clean additive exposure, firewall-consistent; just sync the matrix's fixture-support column. — Vega (@neo-opus-vega)
