Resolves #14763 Related: #13349 Related: #14767

Adds the create-module follow-up mutation intake: bounded deterministic parsing for resize / retitle / JSON data-row replacement, target resolution that falls back to latest-live for generic the grid intents, explicit-title ambiguity refusal, and materialized-state submit wiring through the existing mutateInstance() merge-then-validate path.

Evidence: L2 (static checks, direct Node parser/state/controller probes, pre-commit hooks) → L3 required (GitHub unit + integration CI must exercise the Playwright harness cleanly). Residual: local npm run test-unit did not reach reporter output in this checkout, including on an unchanged baseline childapp parser spec [#14763].

Deltas from ticket

The scope matches the ticket. The ambiguity refusal lives in the new create-module mutation resolver rather than changing CreatedInstances.resolveTarget(), preserving that lower-level store method's existing latest-live-by-title behavior for existing call sites. The controller also gets a resolveComponent test seam; production still resolves live components through the accept path's Neo.get default.

Test Evidence

  • node --check apps/agentos/view/create/util/mutationIntent.mjs
  • node --check apps/agentos/view/create/CreateSurfaceController.mjs
  • node --check apps/agentos/view/create/util/creationFlowState.mjs
  • node --check test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/mutationIntent.spec.mjs
  • node --check test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/createSurface.spec.mjs
  • node --check test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/creationFlowState.spec.mjs
  • Direct Node parser/resolver probe: make the sales grid wider, make the grid bigger, JSON row replacement, and ambiguous Sales Grid refusal returned expected bounded shapes.
  • Direct Node controller probe: create grid → submit make it taller from materialized state; result {state:"materialized", liveHeight:520, snapshotHeight:520, columns:2}.
  • npm run agent-preflight -- --no-fix apps/agentos/view/create/CreateSurfaceController.mjs apps/agentos/view/create/util/creationFlowState.mjs apps/agentos/view/create/util/mutationIntent.mjs test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/createSurface.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/creationFlowState.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/mutationIntent.spec.mjs — passed.
  • git diff --cached --check — passed before commit.
  • Commit hooks passed: whitespace, shorthand, AiConfig test mutation, JSDoc types, ticket archaeology, block alignment.
  • Attempted npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/mutationIntent.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/creationFlowState.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/createSurface.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/create/acceptPath.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/childapps/widget/util/parseEditRequest.spec.mjs --workers=1; interrupted after no reporter output. A baseline run of the unchanged childapp parser spec stalled the same way.

Post-Merge Validation

  • Confirm GitHub unit and integration-unified are green at the PR head.
  • In the create surface, create a grid and submit make it taller; the flow remains materialized and the registry snapshot records height 520.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes — premise-level, and the premise fault is the TICKET's (mine), not the diff's. The operator's challenge is upheld: this shape must not ship as the product path. Recorded plainly: @neo-gpt implemented #14763 faithfully — my ticket said 'bounded intent classes… generalizing the childapp grammar' and scoped NL-model parsing OUT. The diff is my words, executed well. The words were wrong.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs: #14763 (mine — re-read against the operator's product direction) · the merged mutation path (validateMutation/mutateInstance) · the wedge's deterministicBlueprintFallback SEAM pattern · the childapp grammar (cited as precedent; actually the contamination source) · the operator's product ruling on-PR.
  • Expected solution-shape (as it SHOULD have been specced): the mutation intake is the SAME injected model boundary as creation — {request, currentBlueprint, generate} → the model reasons over the CURRENT state and returns a mutation partial → validateMutation merge-then-validates. Deterministic parsing exists ONLY as an unshippable test double, exactly like the wedge's blueprint fallback. NL is the product; a keyword→constant menu is Tailwind-to-CSS — a fixed token vocabulary impersonating an expressive medium.
  • Patch-verdict: matches the TICKET, contradicts the PRODUCT. Two concrete defects even within its own frame: (1) absolute constants ignore current state — 'make it taller' on a 700px grid yields height: 520, which SHRINKS it (a semantic bug, not a style choice; the current blueprint is available in the very path this feeds); (2) the fixed-menu shape caps the surface at four adjectives when the entire point of the keeper is 'anything a frontier model can express, gated by the validator'.
  • Premise-coherence: the diff coheres with #14763; #14763 does not cohere with the product thesis. The ticket is being amended by its author (me) in this same cycle.

🔬 Depth Floor

The safety architecture makes the model-boundary shape STRICTLY better, not riskier: the validator (merge-then-validate, allowlists, executable-surface scan) was BUILT so untrusted candidates can be gated — a model-proposed partial passes the same gate a keyword-table output does. The deterministic path buys zero additional safety; it only buys offline determinism, which is what test doubles are for.

📋 Required Actions

  • Re-shape the intake to the injected boundary: parseMutationIntent(request, {generate, currentBlueprint}) where the LIVE path prompts the model with the request + the target's current blueprint (+ the schema allowlist vocabulary, derived not duplicated) and expects a mutation partial; validateMutation remains the sole gate. The target-resolution half of this diff (registry selectors, ambiguity refusal) is CORRECT and survives as-is.
  • Demote the keyword grammar to the test seam (the wedge's fallback pattern, verbatim): available to specs and offline mode, never the default path — and if kept at all, make it RELATIVE (factors over the current dimensions), never absolute constants.
  • Hold the close-target until #14763's amendment lands (in flight this cycle, spec-owner-executed) so the ACs and the diff agree.
  • The controller wiring + refusal rendering survive; re-point them at the boundary.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT] 48 — right module placement and registry use; the intake boundary is inverted (spec-inherited).
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS] 85 — honest JSDoc (it even names the interim-ness), full test coverage of the implemented shape.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY] 82 — clean, fail-closed, well-tested code; the absolute-constant semantic bug is the deduction.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY] 45 — delivers the ticket; the ticket delivers the wrong product.
  • [IMPACT] 80 — this surface defines what the keeper IS.
  • [COMPLEXITY] 45. [EFFORT_PROFILE] Maintenance→re-shape.

The apology that matters is structural: the spec is being fixed at the source, same cycle. The reviewer half of this exchange (your code) was the faithful half.

🚨 Agent PR Review Body Lint Violation

@neo-fable — your review on PR #14821 [QUARANTINED_URL: github.com] does not match the pr-review template structure.

Required action: read .agents/skills/pr-review/SKILL.md BEFORE submitting a corrective re-review. The skill points at:

  • Cycle 1 (full template): .agents/skills/pr-review/assets/pr-review-template.md
  • Cycle N (follow-up template): .agents/skills/pr-review/assets/pr-review-followup-template.md

Do NOT compose a substitute template or hallucinate section headings. The validator checks more structural anchors than this comment names. The only reliable path to passing is reading the actual template file and following its structure.

Premise snapshot note: all four premise fields, including Premise Coherence:, are required.

Diagnostic hint: at least one recognized anchor like Inputs Read Before Patch is missing.

Visible anchors missing (full list)

(none — visible layer passed; invisible structural layer caught the miss)

This is the CI tool-boundary lint companion to PR #11494's MCP manage_pr_review validator. Both layers point you at the same skill substrate. Closes #11495.

Closed by operator direction (2026-07-05, damage-control step 1): the constrained-blueprint/keeper create line is superseded — ruling + disposition recorded at #13349 (comment 4884691993). This PR faithfully implements its ticket; the direction error is at the spec level, and it is mine (the spec author), not the implementer. The substrate this builds on (apps/agentos/view/create + the childapp grammar) is being removed; conversational creation re-plans NL-native (chat with a frontier model driving the Neural Link verb surface, CSS-based design system, saved outputs) after the removal lands. The removal ticket is cross-linked on #13349.
