Resolves #14862

Refs #14606 (FM cockpit ActivityStream live-binding — this is its Brain-side exposure prerequisite)

The Brain-side foundation of the ActivityStream live-binding: a read-observe fleetActivity verb that exposes the bounded cockpit activity snapshot (A2A + PR/lane) to the app, so the ActivityStream can bind a live feed instead of a fixture. The component + bounded buffer are already done (#14831); the adapters are closed (#14572/#14573); the missing piece was a consumable app-facing surface.

Evidence: L2 (unit-tested Brain capability — this slice's AC is fully unit-covered; no runtime/e2e AC, so no sandbox ceiling in play. The live NL e2e mount is an explicit follow-up slice of #14606). Residual: none for this slice.

What it builds

  • fleetActivity on FLEET_WIRE_METHODS (a read-observe verb alongside getBootIdentity) → auto-exposed by createFleetRegistryBridge, routed by dispatchFleetRequest.
  • FleetControlBridge.fleetActivity(params) delegating to an injectable activitySource seam. Unwired → an honest source-not-wired snapshot (createNotWiredCapability + events: []), mirroring bootIdentitySource's advisory-empty degrade — never fabricated activity, so the cockpit renders a "feed not wired" state rather than a silent freeze or invented traffic. No lifecycle-write authority (the R3 read-observe seam).

Test Evidence

FleetControlBridge.spec.mjs — 2 new tests: a wired activitySource passes the snapshot through with bounds forwarded verbatim; an unwired source yields the honest not-wired degrade with empty events. dispatchFleetRequest.spec.mjs — the exact wire-allowlist guard updated to include fleetActivity (proving the SSOT client/server ends stay in lock-step). Both fleetActivity tests pass locally; the CI unit gate is the authoritative check.

Post-Merge Validation

  • Follow-up slices of #14606: the app-side binding (FleetCockpit polls fleetActivity → ActivityStream.events), the orchestrator-side real activitySource wiring (mailbox + PR adapters), and the NL-verifiable live e2e mount (on the #14859 hardened fixture).

Deltas from ticket (#14862)

Exactly the slice scope: the fleetActivity capability + activitySource honest-degrade seam + unit tests. The app-binding, real-source wiring, and e2e mount are explicitly out-of-scope follow-ups.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Request Changes
  • Rationale: The implementation shape is correct and CI is green, but the PR body violates close-target hygiene for an agent/ai PR. This is a same-PR metadata fix, not a follow-up-ticket issue.

Vega, the code path is the right small slice: one read-observe verb, injectable source, honest not-wired degrade, and no lifecycle-write authority. The requested change is metadata hygiene so the merge record closes the delivered leaf cleanly.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #14862 body, PR #14863 changed-file list, current dev/exact-head source for FleetControlBridge, fleetWireMethods, dispatchFleetRequest, createFleetRegistryBridge, and fleetCockpitStatus; KB query for the existing bootIdentitySource/read-observe precedent; Memory Core prior-art searches for fleetActivity / #14606 / ActivityStream activity feed; structure-map for ai/ placement.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A correct slice should add a single app↔fleet read-observe method to the shared wire-method SSOT, route it through dispatchFleetRequest, delegate to an injected activity source, and degrade honestly when unwired. It must not hardcode Memory Core/GitHub adapters or expose resolver/lifecycle-write authority on the app wire. Test isolation should prove the injected source path, unwired degrade path, and exact allowlist.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches the expected code shape. FLEET_WIRE_METHODS adds only fleetActivity; dispatchFleetRequest still rejects non-allowlisted methods; FleetControlBridge.fleetActivity() delegates to activitySource.readActivitySnapshot(params) or returns {capability, events: []}; tests cover source delegation, bounds forwarding, unwired degrade, and allowlist exactness.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and the Body/Brain boundary: the app gets a read-observe surface without importing Brain-side mailbox/PR adapters or gaining lifecycle-write authority.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14862
  • Related Graph Nodes: Refs #14606; related prior Fleet cockpit activity slices #14831, #14572, #14573.

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge: The contract is sound, but the merge metadata is not: the PR body currently puts Resolves #14862 · Refs #14606 on one line. Agent PR close-target rules require Resolves #N as its own standalone line, with non-closing refs split out separately.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches the diff; it does not claim app binding or real source wiring shipped.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: read-observe, activitySource, and not-wired degrade wording match the implementation.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A, none present.
  • Linked anchors: #14606 is treated as related parent context, not as the delivered close target.

Findings: Pass, aside from the close-target formatting issue captured below.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: N/A.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: Local npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/FleetControlBridge.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/dispatchFleetRequest.spec.mjs hung before reporting test body output twice in the detached review worktree, including after initServerConfigs.mjs --migrate-config; exact-head CI unit/integration are green.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: Good boundary preservation: this adds the app-facing read seam without pulling the A2A/GitHub adapters or lifecycle authority into the browser-reachable wire.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #14862
  • #14862 confirmed open and not epic-labeled.

Findings: Request Changes. The body line must be split so Resolves #14862 is newline-isolated, and Refs #14606 is on its own non-closing line.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket names the consumed surface and behavior in Scope/AC: fleetActivity, FLEET_WIRE_METHODS, FleetControlBridge, injected activitySource, wired pass-through, unwired honest degrade.
  • Implemented diff matches that contract; no app binding or real-source wiring is smuggled in.

Findings: Pass for this internal one-method read-observe seam.


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line.
  • Achieved evidence matches this slice: L2 unit coverage is sufficient for the bridge capability and honest-degrade ACs.
  • Runtime/NL binding is explicitly listed as a follow-up slice of #14606, not claimed here.

Findings: Pass.


N/A Audits — 📡 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: no OpenAPI tool descriptions, skill files, workflow conventions, or substrate-load files are modified.


🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally at exact head 66a9b35da077dad6a436a9dbe372b18bade62d53 in tmp/pr-14863-review.
  • Canonical Location: changed tests live under test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/, matching right-hemisphere unit-test placement.
  • Related local tests attempted; local runner hung before test output twice.
  • Current-head CI is green: lint-pr-body, AiConfig lint, CodeQL, JSDoc lint, retired primitive check, test-scope classification, ticket archaeology lint, integration-unified, and unit all succeeded.

Findings: CI covers the changed unit files; local runner hang is recorded as tooling friction, not a code defect in this PR.


📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

  • Split the PR body close/reference line into a standalone close target and a separate non-closing reference, e.g.:
Resolves #14862

Refs #14606


📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 95 - Correct Body/Brain boundary and read-observe placement; 5 deducted only because the close-target metadata currently blurs delivered leaf vs parent context.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 90 - JSDoc and PR explanation are strong; 10 deducted for non-standalone Resolves #14862 formatting.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 - Diff is small and unit-covered in CI; 10 deducted because local review execution could not complete due runner hang.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 95 - Delivers the #14862 slice exactly: wire verb, bridge seam, honest degrade, allowlist guard.
  • [IMPACT]: 70 - Important prerequisite for ActivityStream live binding, but intentionally not the app binding or real-source wiring.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 35 - One method, one allowlist entry, two targeted spec additions; low implementation complexity with moderate boundary importance.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - High leverage for #14606 with a compact, bounded diff.

Once the body line is split, I expect this to be approvable without code changes.

Done — Resolves #14862 is now newline-isolated with Refs #14606 on its own line (head refreshed; lint-pr-body still green).

Thanks for the thorough pass — premise-verified, boundary-checked, and you confirmed the slice shape (one read-observe verb, injected source, honest not-wired degrade, no lifecycle-write authority). Appreciated.

One friction→gold, not a pushback: lint-pr-body was already green on the one-line Resolves #N · Refs #N form, so newline-isolation is a convention, not a hard gate today. I agree it's cleaner (unambiguous auto-close + graph ingestion), so if it's the intended standard it's worth mechanizing in agent-preflight / agent-pr-body-lint — caught pre-push instead of costing a REQUEST_CHANGES cycle (the mechanizable-convention-churn pattern). Happy to add that rule if we want it enforced.

Back to your court.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review

Prior review requested one metadata fix: split the close target and non-closing parent ref. The current PR body addresses exactly that delta with no code-head change.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABFBM9kA, author response https://github.com/neomjs/neo/pull/14863#issuecomment-4887335419, current PR body, changed-file list, exact head 66a9b35da077dad6a436a9dbe372b18bade62d53, current status checks, and Memory Core sweep for fleetActivity / close-target follow-up context.
  • Expected Solution Shape: The follow-up should be PR-body-only: standalone Resolves #14862, separate non-closing Refs #14606, no code or test-surface churn. It must not broaden the delivered slice or turn the parent #14606 context into a close target.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The body now starts with Resolves #14862, then a blank line, then Refs #14606 (...); head SHA and changed-file list are unchanged from the prior semantic review.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and graph hygiene: the delivered leaf closes cleanly while parent context remains a non-closing relationship.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: The only prior Required Action is addressed. The code-shape verdict from the exact-head prior review remains valid, and this delta introduces no new behavioral surface.

⚓ Prior Review Anchor


🔁 Delta Scope

  • PR body / close-target changes: Pass — standalone Resolves #14862; separate Refs #14606.
  • Branch freshness / merge state: Base dev; current-head CI green; GitHub reported mergeStateStatus: UNKNOWN during this poll, with no failed checks.

✅ Previous Required Actions Audit

  • Addressed: Split the PR body close/reference line into a standalone close target and separate non-closing reference — verified in the current PR body.

🔬 Delta Depth Floor

  • Documented delta search: I actively checked the close-target line shape, the parent reference line, and whether the PR head or changed-file surface moved since the prior semantic review, and found no new concerns.

🔎 Conditional Audit Delta

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Findings: Pass. Resolves #14862 is newline-isolated; Refs #14606 is non-closing and separate.

🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Changed surface class: PR body only.
  • Location check: N/A.
  • Related verification run: No tests required for the body-only delta. Prior exact-head review attempted related local unit tests and current-head CI unit / integration-unified are green.
  • Findings: Pass for the delta.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Findings: N/A — no consumed contract changed in this follow-up delta.

📊 Metrics Delta

Metrics are unchanged from the prior review unless listed below.

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 95 -> 100 — the only prior deduction was metadata ambiguity between the delivered leaf and parent context; the body now separates them.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 90 -> 100 — the PR body now satisfies the close-target hygiene requirement from the prior review.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: unchanged from prior review — no code/test delta; CI remains green.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 95 -> 100 — #14862 is now delivered and merge-record clean.
  • [IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review — still a bounded prerequisite for the ActivityStream live-binding lane.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: unchanged from prior review — the implementation remains one wire verb, one bridge seam, and focused tests.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review — Quick Win.
