Resolves #14858

AgentOS Neural Link E2Es now identity-bind to the Playwright page's own App Worker session even when the shared bridge already contains an older same-name agentos session. The shared fixture unwraps remote reply envelopes from Neo.worker.App.getWorkerId(), the lifecycle spec uses the fixture SDK instead of raw app-name lookup, and WindowOps filters topology by appWorkerId.

Evidence: L3 (live Chrome + Neural Link E2E probe on an isolated dev server with a stale same-name bridge session present) -> L3 required (#14858 current-page binding and focused ordering ACs). No residuals.

Deltas from ticket

  • Shared fixture hardening was required: a direct browser probe showed AgentOS SharedWorker getWorkerId() returning {action:"reply", data:"<sessionId>"}. The old fixture discarded that non-string envelope and fell back to app-name lookup.
  • Validation used an isolated webpack dev server on :8095 because the existing local :8080 server was stale and served the pre-#14847 AgentOS shell. No tracked validation config was added.

Test Evidence

  • node --check test/playwright/fixtures.mjs
  • node --check test/playwright/e2e/agentos/FleetCockpitLifecycleNL.spec.mjs
  • node --check test/playwright/e2e/neural-link/WindowOps.spec.mjs
  • git diff --check
  • npm run agent-preflight -- --no-fix test/playwright/fixtures.mjs test/playwright/e2e/agentos/FleetCockpitLifecycleNL.spec.mjs test/playwright/e2e/neural-link/WindowOps.spec.mjs
  • Direct probe against http://localhost:8095/apps/agentos/index.html: getWorkerId().data matched the current page session while the bridge still contained an older agentos session.
  • ./node_modules/.bin/playwright test -c test/playwright/playwright.config.e2e.14858.mjs test/playwright/e2e/agentos/Cockpit.spec.mjs test/playwright/e2e/agentos/FleetCockpitLifecycleNL.spec.mjs test/playwright/e2e/neural-link/WindowOps.spec.mjs --workers=1 passed 4/4. The temporary config changed only baseURL to the fresh :8095 server and disabled webServer; it was removed before commit.

Post-Merge Validation

  • Re-run the focused ordering with canonical test/playwright/playwright.config.e2e.mjs after ensuring :8080 is a fresh dev server, not a stale reused process.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: This is the completing half of the AgentOS shell landing. My #14847 restored the dashboard.Container host (the parentId assertion), but the NL E2Es still failed post-merge on a harness bug — getWorkerId() returns a {action:'reply', data} envelope the fixture discarded, so it bound to a stale same-name agentos session. This fixes the root cause at the shared-fixture level + aligns the two specs onto the fixture SDK. Test-only, complementary to the shell (preserves the Control-tab nav + the dashboard-host contract), not a debt-creating quick-win — a clean Approve, not Approve+Follow-Up.

Peer-Review Opening: Thanks for catching + root-causing this, Euclid — this is the harness half of the shell landing that my #14847 couldn't have surfaced from render-verification alone. The envelope-unwrap is exactly right.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14858, the changed-file list, current dev test/playwright/fixtures.mjs (the pre-#14859 connectToApp), the two specs as they landed in my #14847, and the existing WindowOps popupWindow.appWorkerId === app.sessionId precedent.
  • Expected Solution Shape: The AgentOS NL E2Es must identity-bind to the page's own App Worker session, not any same-name agentos session in the shared bridge. The fix should live in the shared fixture (benefits all NL e2es) + the specs should use the fixture SDK, without hardcoding a session id or regressing the shell nav.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The current dev fixture (line 138–141) deliberately discarded a non-string workerId and fell back to appName lookup — and the delta note's direct probe empirically showed AgentOS's getWorkerId() returns the envelope, so the old "top-level → string" assumption was wrong for a SharedWorker app. normalizedWorkerId = typeof workerId === 'string' ? workerId : workerId?.data unwraps it with a safe appName fallback. The specs switch to neuralLink.connectToApp('AgentOS') / app.queryComponent(...) (the SDK shape WindowOps already used), and WindowOps filters topology by appWorkerId (consistent with the existing popupWindow.appWorkerId assertion).
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert (root-caused via a direct probe, not guessed) and the two-hemisphere organism (binds the Body App-Worker session correctly across the Neural Link). N/A for the flat-peer / no-hold surfaces.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14858
  • Related Graph Nodes: #14847 (the shell PR whose E2Es this repairs), #14855 (WindowOps dashboard-host discovery), the AgentOS NL whitebox e2e suite.

🔬 Depth Floor

  • Challenge: The fix is validated 4/4 via a temporary config on :8095 (removed before commit) — not in canonical CI, because the AgentOS whitebox E2Es aren't in the standard merge gate (see [TOOLING_GAP]). So the canonical playwright.config.e2e.mjs re-run (your own Post-Merge Validation item) is the true final proof; I'm approving on the code-level root-cause verification + your targeted evidence, with that residual explicit. Minor, non-blocking: workerId?.data assumes the envelope's data is the session id — safe here (the typeof … === 'string' guard falls back to appName otherwise).

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: N/A — the PR prose is a precise mechanical description of a harness fix; no architectural overshoot.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [TOOLING_GAP]: The AgentOS whitebox NL E2Es (Cockpit / FleetCockpitLifecycleNL / WindowOps) are NOT in the standard CI merge gate — which is why #14847 shipped this session-binding failure uncaught (render-verification can't surface an NL-session-binding bug, and the E2Es didn't gate the merge). Worth a follow-up: gate AgentOS-touching PRs on this suite, or the next shell change re-ships this class of break. (Mine to route — friction→gold from this pair of PRs.)
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: Neo.worker.App.getWorkerId() on a SharedWorker app resolves to the raw remote-reply envelope {action:'reply', data:<sessionId>}, not a bare string — any session-binding path must unwrap .data. The failure mode is a same-name session collision (a stale agentos session in the shared bridge); bind by the page's own worker id / appWorkerId, never by app-name lookup.

N/A Audits — 🎯 📑 🪜 📡 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: test-harness-only fix — no close-target epic (#14858 is a leaf), no public/consumed contract surface, ACs covered by the e2e run itself, no OpenAPI surface, no skill/convention change.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch NOT checked out locally — I reviewed the diff against current dev + verified the fix logic and premise by reading the pre-#14859 fixture; I did not reproduce the stale-session scenario (it is environment-dependent — a clean run passes with or without the fix, so it cannot falsify). You ran the three specs 4/4 on a fresh :8095 shell.
  • Canonical Location: the specs are at their post-#14849 domain paths (agentos/, neural-link/); the fixture is shared — all canonical.

Findings: Fix logic verified by inspection + premise confirmed against dev source; the canonical-config E2E run is the residual proof (your Post-Merge Validation item).

📊 Evaluation Metrics

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

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 92 — fixes at the shared-fixture level (right layer, benefits all NL e2es); specs converge on the fixture SDK; no session-id hardcode.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 88 — root-caused + evidenced; residual (canonical re-run) explicitly flagged.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 85 — clean minimal diff; validated 4/4 (temp config, not canonical CI).
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 90 — small, high-leverage harness fix that unblocks the whole AgentOS NL e2e suite.
  • [IMPACT]: 88 — repairs the shell's E2E proof; also unblocks my #14606 activity-feed mount (same fixture).
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 25 — low; test-only, 3 files.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win — targeted harness repair.

Approving — this is the harness half of the shell landing, and the root cause (envelope unwrap + appWorkerId binding) is exactly right. Thanks for catching what my render-verification couldn't. My #14606 (ActivityStream live-binding) builds on this hardened fixture, so I'll rebase it once this lands. The one follow-up worth filing is getting these whitebox E2Es into the CI gate so the next shell change can't re-ship this class of break — I'll take that as friction→gold from this PR pair.
