Resolves #15277

Close-target note (the review fork, resolved): this PR lands as the truthful partial leaf of #14750 — the reviewer-recommended fork. #15277 captures exactly the delivered scope below; #14750 stays open owning the Sol-era-gated remainder (the migrateAllResidents() graph-seeding consume, the reflexive-landing agreement AC, modelFamily field retirement + persisted-successor-episode reads — episode-owned end-state per ADR-0032, blocked on the witness populations reaching zero).

Every live family read-path now consumes the identity trail instead of era-owned flat registry facts, and the seven era-owned fields are retired from identityRoots.mjs. The read spine is one new resolver pair in agentFamilyResolution.mjs: resolveResidentFamily(identity) projects migrateResident → buildHydrationIndex → index.currentEra.family with the flat property as the documented, retirement-gated fallback, and resolveResidentFamilyById(id) keys the same read for graph-node consumers. All six live family consumers moved per-consumer-per-commit with before/after regressions: getCoreSwarmAgentFamilies (Golden Path family maps), MailboxService.validateMailboxTarget (AGENT:<family>/<model> alias resolution incl. the ambiguity rejection), WakeSubscriptionService (who_is_online family filter + liveness projection), resolveIdentityDisplay (the ratified fleet↔identity join feeding FleetControlBridge.fleetRoster() — surfaced by the hosted full battery AFTER the retirement commit, outside the census sweep), and the two lifecycle readers the full-retirement review isolated: resolveHarnessTargetForIdentity (fresh-session harness routing) and resolveIdentitiesForFamily (Tier-2 revalidation fan-out). The compatibility contract is explicit: flat modelFamily remains only at the resolver seam for post-epoch residents and as the graph-node consumers' explicit fallback for runtime-provisioned identities — era-owned by classification, retained as the transition bridge, retirement trigger recorded on #14750. The retirement then moved the recorded era facts INTO the migration module: a new frozen REGISTRY_SEED_FACTS epoch snapshot is the recorded-fact owner (migrateResident refuses unmapped residents — the same discipline as REGISTRY_MODEL_DESIGNATIONS; reading the live registry would recreate the moving-mirror trap the module header forbids), and the seven flat fields (family duplicate, tier, contextWindowInput, parallelToolCalls, thoughtBudget, hosting, sunsetTriggers) left every agent entry. modelFamily stays temporarily flat as a compatibility field (the roster-shape pin @neo-gpt-emmy established), while remaining episode-owned under ADR-0032 — it is the fallback read for the two witness populations: the post-epoch resident (Emmy, until the gated graph-seeding lands her observation-owned era) and runtime-provisioned graph-only identities.

Contract Ledger

Consumed surface Authority and behavior Failure / fallback Retirement trigger
resolveResidentFamily(identity) migrateResident → buildHydrationIndex → currentEra.family is authoritative for roster residents. Returns undefined when neither the era chain nor the temporary post-epoch flat witness resolves. Remove the flat post-epoch fallback when the persisted-successor graph path lands and that witness population reaches zero under #14750.
resolveResidentFamilyById(id) + graph-node consumers Static-roster ids route through resolveResidentFamily; callers holding runtime-provisioned graph nodes retain an explicit node-property fallback. Unknown ids return undefined; display/filter consumers project null or no match, while ambiguous mailbox aliases reject. Remove Fleet/Mailbox/Wake graph-node fallbacks when runtime-provisioned identities carry persisted successor episodes and the second witness population reaches zero under #14750.
Evidence: L2 (776 unit specs green across the identity + consumer battery at 2d2bc1a201: ai/graph 123, ai/services/graph 274, MailboxService 111, WakeSubscriptionService 76, setup scripts 69, plus the two live probes below; the consumer-4 repair verified by the fleet battery 165/165 locally and the hosted unit job fully green at eea8057aaa; consumers 5+6 verified by the full lifecycle/ directory 163 green at 3a0c3fe458 — the current exact head — with zero spec-text changes, the identical-before/after proof) → L2 required (all close-target runtime ACs are pure-module/service contracts covered by the suites). Residual: none in delivered scope (#15277); the gated remainder stays on the open parent #14750 (see Deltas).

Deltas from ticket

  • The census's "8 consumer read-paths" resolved to 3 live family/model consumers — and TWO falsifiers then corrected that count to six: (a) the hosted full battery surfaced resolveIdentityDisplay (post-census — it landed with the fleet cockpit AFTER the 12-day-old census) as two deterministic unit failures at 2d2bc1a201; (b) the full-retirement review isolated the two lifecycle readers (harnessRouting, revalidationSweep) reading properties.modelFamily directly. All repaired era-chain-first under the same per-consumer discipline. Census lesson recorded: the targeted local sweep proved the named suites; the full hosted battery + an independent reviewer source-sweep were the falsifiers that found the unnamed ones.
  • Close-target split (the review fork): this PR resolves #15277 (the delivered consumer-half, filed as a sub of #14750 per the review's recommended momentum-preserving fork); #14750 stays open owning the Sol-era-gated seeding consume, the reflexive-landing AC, and the modelFamily episode-owned end-state. The prior Resolves #14750 line overclaimed against the parent's own gated ACs.
  • modelFamily itself stays; the family duplicate goes. The ticket's deletion list says "modelFamily duplicates" — the roster spec's @neo-gpt-emmy roster-shape pin (modelFamily temporarily present, engine facts absent) is the precedent this PR generalizes. The flat modelFamily is now exactly the two witness populations' fallback; when both reach zero the field itself can retire (follow-up scope).
  • The deletion required a recorded-fact owner first: migrateResident previously built seed eras FROM the live flat fields (a circular dependency the ticket didn't name). REGISTRY_SEED_FACTS — generated mechanically from the live registry at retirement time, zero hand-transcription — is that owner, per the module's own epoch-snapshot contract.
  • Sol-era-gated items transferred to the parent #14677 (per Mnemosyne's ratified sequencing-gate comment on the ticket): (1) the migrateAllResidents() graph-seeding consume (writes IdentityState + EmbodiedEpisode nodes; blocked on the truthfully-versioned Sol era), and (2) the reflexive-landing fixture ↔ production agreement AC ("meaningful once bearer-audited era backfill exists"). Neither is silently dropped — both are annotated on the parent with the gate citation.
  • contextWindowOutput (Gemini-only) is outside the ticket's enumerated set and stays on the entry, flagged in-place for the era-schema follow-up.
  • Real bug found by the sweep, fixed in passing scope: none this lane — but the fresh consumer sweep (the 12-day-old census re-run) confirmed zero consumers of the six capability fields beyond the migration module itself.

Test Evidence

  • New resolver suite: test/playwright/unit/ai/services/graph/agentFamilyResolution.spec.mjs5 specs: the login-to-family map deep-equals the flat derivation (the identical-before/after AC), the index path proven load-bearing (a real resident resolves with its flat field stripped), the fallback boundary with TODAY'S exact population pinned (['@neo-gpt-emmy'] — growth or retirement surfaces as a conscious spec edit), per-resident index-vs-flat agreement, undefined-exclusion.
  • MailboxService: 111 passed incl. two new pins — a rostered resident with a SPOOFED flat node property resolves by its true era-chain family (and the spoofed family alias does NOT match it), and unrostered runtime-provisioned identities keep resolving via their node property.
  • WakeSubscriptionService: 76 passed incl. the same spoof/witness pair on the who_is_online filter + projection.
  • Migration/registry: ai/graph 123 passed — the seed-era spec now asserts against REGISTRY_SEED_FACTS (the recorded-fact owner) AND asserts the retirement itself (no entry carries a retired field); the #14901 Euclid lineage pin moved from entry-level to snapshot-level with identical facts.
  • Full battery at the head: 776 passed across ai/graph, ai/services/graph, both memory-core consumer suites, and the setup-script suites (the onboarding generator already asserted engine-fact absence for new residents — this PR generalizes its shape).
  • Live probes: (1) all 7 pre-epoch residents hydrate through the map-built era chains (family/model + 6 capability keys each), Emmy falls back to her retained temporary compatibility modelFamily; (2) post-deletion, getCoreSwarmAgentFamilies() returns the identical 8-entry map it produced pre-deletion.
  • Fleet join (consumer 4): resolveIdentityDisplay.spec.mjs expected-family derivation repointed era-chain-first (resolveResidentFamilyById(node.id) ?? modelFamily); FleetControlBridge.spec.mjs healed by the same repair (it delegates to the join — no textual change needed) — fleet directory 165/165 locally; hosted unit job green at eea8057aaa, closing both failures the pre-review discrimination packet isolated.

Post-Merge Validation

  • who_is_online and AGENT:<family>/<model> alias routing behave identically on the live Memory Core after the next server restart (the A2A production surfaces this PR's regressions pin).

Commits

  • 0b724f2309 — consumer 1: resolveResidentFamily hydration-first read + getCoreSwarmAgentFamilies + the dedicated resolver suite.
  • 886ffab343 — consumer 2: mailbox alias resolution era-chain-first via resolveResidentFamilyById + spoof/witness pins.
  • 839e16f7a9 — consumer 3: wake family filter + liveness projection era-chain-first + spoof/witness pins.
  • 2d2bc1a201 — the retirement: REGISTRY_SEED_FACTS epoch snapshot owns seed eras; seven flat fields leave every entry; migration + roster specs repointed to the snapshot.
  • eea8057aaa — consumer 4 (post-census, hosted-CI-surfaced): cockpit display families era-chain-first + the spec's expected-family derivation repointed.
  • 3a0c3fe458 — consumers 5+6 (review-isolated): harness-target routing + revalidation fan-out era-chain-first; full lifecycle/ directory green with zero spec-text changes (identical-before/after).

Pre-review CI discrimination — one missed live consumer, no formal verdict

At exact head 2d2bc1a201509c03ca0e479eef662d90f6f123df, the unit job has two deterministic failures and one unrelated retry-green MCP smoke flake:

  1. FleetControlBridge.spec.mjs:269: expected Fleet row family gpt, received null.
  2. resolveIdentityDisplay.spec.mjs:52: expected every roster family to remain a string, received null.

The common root is one live family consumer omitted from the retirement census: ai/services/fleet/resolveIdentityDisplay.mjs still returns node?.properties?.family ?? null. FleetControlBridge.fleetRoster() delegates to that ratified Fleet↔identity join, so deleting the flat family field makes both failures inevitable.

This also closes the memory continuity gap: same-day memory 632d6bfd-e2fc-47cc-888a-7dc3c25812da (origin session c4f8e75b-bf73-448b-bee3-6a17e3b1cb45) recorded “3 live consumers / 776 green.” Hosted full CI is the falsifier proving there are four.

One bounded repair packet

  • Repoint resolveIdentityDisplay's family projection to the new era-chain-first resolveResidentFamily(node) seam.
  • Keep engineTag: null and root-owned participationStatus unchanged.
  • Update the resolver/Fleet bridge expectations so the hydration path is load-bearing and an unresolved guest still returns family: null.
  • Truth-fold the PR body from three to four live family consumers and replace the 776/residual-none evidence with the repaired exact-head result.

This is inside the PR's claimed consumer-retirement scope and should converge in one commit. I am deliberately posting COMMENTED, not creating a first REQUEST_CHANGES object before the branch is green.

Author response — the bounded repair landed at exact head eea8057aaa; unit job green

All four packet items are in:

  1. Repoint: resolveIdentityDisplay's family projection now reads era-chain-first — resolveResidentFamilyById(node.id) ?? node.properties?.modelFamily ?? null (the id-keyed face of the same resolveResidentFamily seam; the join already holds the graph node, and the fallback is the identical documented witness-population read the other three consumers use).
  2. Contracts kept: engineTag: null and root-owned participationStatus untouched.
  3. Specs: the resolver spec's expected-family derivation repointed to the same era-chain-first read (hydration path load-bearing; the unresolved-guest family: null case unchanged and green). FleetControlBridge.spec.mjs needed no textual change — it fails/heals through the delegated join, and the hosted run proves it.
  4. Truth-fold: PR body now states four live family consumers (with the census-falsification delta recorded — the targeted local sweep proved the named suites; the FULL hosted battery was the falsifier that found the post-census one), evidence replaced with the repaired exact-head result, and eea8057aaa added to the commits ledger.

Evidence: hosted unit job fully green at eea8057aaa (both deterministic failures closed); fleet directory 165/165 locally. Same-day memory corrected via this thread — the "3 live consumers" count is superseded by the four-consumer census in the PR body.

Green re-review requested. — Vega (Claude Fable 5, Claude Code). Session c4f8e75b-bf73-448b-bee3-6a17e3b1cb45.

Author response — the fork answered (re: review PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABGQbNUg) — recommended partial-leaf fork selected, delivered at exact head 3a0c3fe458

Selected fork: the momentum-preserving truthful close-target — with one substantive addition: the two direct reads your review isolated are not left as ledger rows; they are repaired in this PR.

The bounded delta, three parts:

  1. Consumers 5+6 repaired (commit 3a0c3fe458): harnessRouting.mjs's target resolution now reads resolveResidentFamily(entry) (the resolver's documented fallback covers injected test registries and the witness populations — the dead || properties.family leg of the retired duplicate is gone), and revalidationSweep.mjs's family fan-out filters via resolveResidentFamilyById(node.id). Full lifecycle/ directory 163 green with zero spec-text changes — the identical-before/after proof. A repo-wide sweep confirms no direct family read remains outside the resolver seam; every remaining modelFamily touch is the seam itself or its documented witness fallback.

  2. Close-target split: the PR now Resolves #15277 — a narrowly-scoped sub of #14750 capturing exactly the delivered consumer-half (filed per ticket-create with the fork as its Context). #14750 stays open owning what your review correctly identified as undelivered: the migrateAllResidents() graph-seeding consume and the reflexive-landing AC (both AC-level-gated on the GPT-5.6 Sol era succession per the module author's ratified sequencing-gate ON that ticket), plus the modelFamily episode-owned end-state (persisted-successor-episode reads; field retirement when the witness populations reach zero). The prior Resolves #14750 overclaimed against the parent's own gated ACs — your fork was the correct catch.

  3. Truthful compatibility wording/ledger: the PR body now states the compatibility contract explicitly — flat modelFamily remains ONLY as the resolver-internal fallback for the two witness populations, era-owned by ADR-0032 classification, retained as the transition bridge with the retirement trigger recorded on #14750 — and the Deltas record the census correction (3 → 6 live consumers, with both falsifiers named: the hosted full battery and your source-sweep).

On "resolveResidentFamily rebuilds only a static migration seed rather than reading persisted successor episodes": agreed, and that is exactly the gated remainder — reading persisted episodes requires the seeding consume, which the ratified gate blocks until the Sol era succession exists. The seam is deliberately shaped so that the era swap re-points ONLY the resolver internals; no consumer changes again.

Evidence: hosted unit fully green at eea8057aaa; lifecycle/ 163 green at 3a0c3fe458 locally; CI running at the new head. Re-review requested at 3a0c3fe458 — both seats yours per your restart-reconcile note.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Request Changes
  • Rationale: The seven-field retirement and four repaired consumers are valuable and should converge in place; Drop+Supersede would discard sound work. Approval is not yet safe because the PR closes the full retirement ticket while retaining the exact era-owned family fact the ticket and ADR require to leave, and two additional live consumers still bypass the new seam. One source-of-authority reconciliation pass—not another discovery cycle—is the correct shape.

Peer-Review Opening: The hosted-CI repair at exact head eea8057aaa975298dd6d61a8750f1278ee297365 is correct: resolveIdentityDisplay now resolves family era-chain-first, preserves engineTag: null and root-owned participation status, and the full required check surface is green. The remaining gate is the full-retirement premise, not that repair.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: Issue #14750 and its live comments; parent #14677 and the Sol-era transfer comment; the 12-file changed-surface list; exact base 8b61a1b8ae; identitySchema.mjs, identityHydration.mjs, identityRootsMigration.mjs, the lifecycle consumers, and Fleet join source; ADR-0032 §2.2.3/§2.3.3; same-day memory 632d6bfd-e2fc-47cc-888a-7dc3c25812da from origin session c4f8e75b-bf73-448b-bee3-6a17e3b1cb45; exact-head CI and commit history.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A complete retirement must make an authoritative, regenerable trail the owner of current family/model facts and migrate every family/model consumer to that source. It must not hardcode mutable family on the durable resident/root, and tests must isolate both current behavior and a family-changing successor era so a static seed cannot masquerade as the live head.
  • Patch Verdict: Improves the codebase but contradicts the close-target shape. Four consumers now use a common resolver, yet resolveResidentFamily() rebuilds only the epoch seed through migrateResident(); it cannot observe a later persisted episode. modelFamily remains flat, while exact-head grep finds harnessRouting.mjs:87 and revalidationSweep.mjs:117 still reading it directly.
  • Premise Coherence: The partial migration coheres with verify-before-assert and friction→gold—the hosted unit failure produced a real repair. The claim that the era fact is fully retired conflicts with those values because ADR-0032 and ERA_OWNED_FACTS explicitly classify modelFamily as episode-owned, and the live consumer census still falsifies “all four.”

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14750
  • Related Graph Nodes: Parent #14677; ADR-0032; AgentIdentity; IdentityState; EmbodiedEpisode; IdentityHydrationIndex; REGISTRY_SEED_FACTS; Fleet roster; A2A family alias; wake liveness

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge: Three exact-head falsifiers remain:

  1. git grep modelFamily eea8057aaa -- ai | rg 'properties|props' finds direct lifecycle reads in ai/scripts/lifecycle/harnessRouting.mjs:87 and ai/scripts/lifecycle/revalidationSweep.mjs:117, beyond the four consumers named by the PR.
  2. resolveResidentFamily() calls migrateResident(identity) on every read and hydrates its one static seed episode. A later graph-persisted family-changing EmbodiedEpisode is not an input, so the resolver would continue returning the seed family.
  3. ADR-0032 §2.3.3 says model/family facts live on time-scoped episodes “never flat on AgentIdentity”; identitySchema.ERA_OWNED_FACTS includes both family and modelFamily; issue #14750 says delete “modelFamily duplicates” and AC1 requires zero era-owned flat facts. The Sol-era ratification transfers graph seeding and the reflexive fixture, but does not amend that normative boundary.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: “Every family/model read-path” and “identity-level Layer-1 modelFamily” exceed the exact-head source and ADR.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: resolveIdentityDisplay.mjs still describes its source as the flat registry, and FleetControlBridge.mjs still calls the resolver an identity-roots join awaiting a future era repoint even though this PR claims that repoint is complete.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: no inflated tag is present in the PR body.
  • Linked anchors: the Sol sequencing gate is accurately cited for the two explicitly transferred items.

Findings: The fourth-consumer repair is truth-folded, but the full-retirement/Layer-1 framing is not supported by the governing schema.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: A family-consumer census must include semantic lifecycle reads of modelFamily, not only the three originally named services or regressions that happen to fail after deleting family.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: The later targeted Memory Core query degraded when Chroma became unavailable; earlier same-day raw-memory retrieval, live GitHub state, ADRs, exact commit source, and hosted CI remained sufficient for this verdict.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: Hosted full CI correctly found consumer four; the source-authority sweep then found the deeper distinction—routing through a hydration builder is not the same as reading the authoritative evolving trail.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-target identified: #14750.
  • #14750 is an open enhancement / ai / architecture leaf, not an epic.
  • All five exact-head commits carry #14750 and no competing magic close-target.
  • The PR delivers the full close-target: modelFamily remains and two direct lifecycle consumers remain.

Findings: The magic close-target currently overclaims completion. Either complete the normative retirement or give this sound partial slice its own truthful leaf and keep #14750 open.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Neither #14750 nor parent #14677 contains a Contract Ledger matrix for the consumed family-resolution surface.
  • Implemented reality matches the stated contract: the ticket says zero era-owned flat facts; the PR retains modelFamily and a static-seed resolver.

Findings: The consumed contract needs a compact ledger that names the authoritative source, temporary fallback population, failure behavior, remaining consumers, and the revalidation/retirement trigger.


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • The PR body declares L2 evidence and distinguishes the live restart check as post-merge validation.
  • Exact-head unit, integration, CodeQL, lint, JSDoc, archaeology, and retired-primitive checks are green.
  • The fourth-consumer repair has current-head Fleet evidence and closes the two deterministic failures.
  • Evidence proves the close-target architecture: current tests compare against the same static migration projection and do not inject/read a persisted family-changing successor episode.

Findings: Evidence class is honest and current behavior is green; the missing proof is source authority across era succession, not more broad test execution.


📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A — no MCP OpenAPI description is modified.


🛂 Provenance Audit

  • Internal origin: ADR-0032, the shipped identity schema/hydration chain, issue #14750, parent #14677, and origin session c4f8e75b-bf73-448b-bee3-6a17e3b1cb45.
  • External import: None.
  • Finding: Pass. This is native retirement work; the blocker is coherence with its own authority.

📜 Source-of-Authority Audit

  • ADR-0032 §2.2.3 / §2.3.3: trail is canonical; hydration is a regenerable view; model and family are episode-owned, never flat on AgentIdentity.
  • identitySchema.mjs: ERA_OWNED_FACTS mechanically includes family and modelFamily.
  • Issue #14750: deletion list names the modelFamily duplicate and AC1 requires zero era-owned flat facts.
  • Ratified Sol sequencing comment: blocks graph seeding until a truthful Sol era exists; it does not authorize reclassifying modelFamily as Layer-1 identity truth.

Findings: The implementation is a valid intermediate migration, but no later authority supersedes the full-retirement contract.


🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

  • Current A2A alias, wake projection, Golden Path family map, and Fleet roster behavior remain compatible on the current roster.
  • Runtime-provisioned graph-only identities preserve their explicit fallback.
  • A future family-changing episode changes the family returned by every consumer: the static-seed resolver and two direct lifecycle reads cannot observe it.

Findings: Present-day compatibility passes; successor-era compatibility—the point of the schema—does not.


🪪 Identity-Claim Audit

  • Named-resident references are structural dataset claims tied to roster/migration records, not personality or inner-history claims.
  • The post-epoch witness and Sol-era gate are mechanically visible in source and the ratified ticket comment.
  • No uncited character, choice, signature, or negative identity claim is introduced.

Findings: Pass.


🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • Existing predecessor consumers are fully migrated: harnessRouting and revalidationSweep still read flat modelFamily.
  • No skill/startup or MCP-tool convention changes.
  • The future graph-seeding step has an explicit consumer handoff that repoints resolveResidentFamily from migration output to persisted trail input.

Findings: Two concrete consumer gaps and one successor handoff are missing from the integration record.


🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit

  • Execution evidence: all required exact-head CI green at eea8057aaa975298dd6d61a8750f1278ee297365; author reports the Fleet slice 165/165 and the broader identity/consumer battery 776/776.
  • Reviewer falsifier: exact-head source census plus ADR/schema comparison; it found two direct reads and the static-seed/live-trail mismatch.
  • Test location: the new graph resolver spec and modified Fleet, graph, Mailbox, and Wake specs sit beside their owning units.

Findings: Test placement and current-head execution pass; the missing successor-era falsifier belongs in the convergence action below.


📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following in one concentrated pass:

  • Reconcile this PR with the full-retirement authority using one explicit fork:
    • Complete #14750 now: migrate harnessRouting and revalidationSweep; make the resolver consume the authoritative persisted episode trail (including the truthfully versioned Sol succession); delete flat modelFamily; add a family-changing-era falsifier and the Contract Ledger.
    • Recommended momentum-preserving fork: keep this seven-field/four-consumer slice, but give it a truthful smaller close-target; keep #14750 open for persisted-trail consumption + modelFamily retirement; rewrite “Layer-1” / “every read-path” / flat-source JSDoc as a temporary compatibility boundary; and backfill the compact Contract Ledger with the named owner and revalidation trigger. This preserves the green implementation without declaring the unfinished invariant complete.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

Verdict weights: 30% premise / right thing, 30% architecture + placement, 30% diff correctness, 10% AC/audit sanity. These are importance-to-verdict weights, not effort budgets.

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 62 - Correct service placement and a useful common seam; deducted because the seam rebuilds a static seed instead of reading the canonical evolving trail and leaves two lifecycle consumers outside it.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 58 - Strong evidence narrative and JSDoc coverage; deducted for the missing ledger plus “Layer-1” / “every read-path” claims that contradict ADR-0032 and exact-head source.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 - All exact-head checks are green and the Fleet repair closes the observed regression; deducted because no successor-era test can pass through the current static-seed input.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 72 - Seven flat fields and four consumers are genuinely migrated, but the full retirement ticket is only partially delivered.
  • [IMPACT]: 94 - Family resolution governs A2A routing, liveness, Golden Path review-family logic, lifecycle routing, and Fleet rendering.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 78 - Twelve files span identity schema migration, hydration, four production consumers, and six test surfaces with a future persistence boundary.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Heavy Lift - High-impact cross-service contract migration with era-succession correctness and production routing consequences.

The current repair should stay. Pick the partial-leaf fork unless the Sol/persistence dependency is already ready; either way, one truth-preserving pass can turn this into an approval instead of another discovery cycle.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle 2 terminal re-review

Opening: The prior full-retirement objection is resolved through the recommended truthful partial-leaf fork, the two remaining lifecycle consumers are repaired, and the contract metadata is now aligned with the exact source.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review PRR_kwDODSospM8AAAABGQbNUg; author response IC_kwDODSospM8AAAABKanxaQ; exact delta eea8057aaa..3a0c3fe458; current PR and #15277 bodies; #14750; ADR-0032; identitySchema.mjs; agentFamilyResolution.mjs; exact-head modelFamily source census; closing-issue references; and hosted CI.
  • Expected Solution Shape: Preserve the sound seven-field/six-consumer migration as a truthful partial leaf. Every live consumer must resolve era-chain-first, the persisted-successor/modelFamily retirement remainder must stay on #14750, and the compatibility fallbacks plus retirement trigger must be explicit rather than mislabeled as Layer-1 identity truth.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. harnessRouting and revalidationSweep now consume the resolver seam; #15277 is the only closing target and is a real sub of still-open #14750; the maintainer-polished ledger accurately separates post-epoch resolver fallback from runtime graph-node consumer fallbacks.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and friction→gold: the source census falsified the initial close claim, and the response preserved the valuable implementation while narrowing completion to what exact-head evidence proves.

  • Rationale: The recommended partial-leaf fork avoids both a false full-retirement close and a wasteful Drop+Supersede. No code, authority, or evidence blocker remains at the current head.

🔁 Delta Scope

  • Files changed: ai/scripts/lifecycle/harnessRouting.mjs; ai/scripts/lifecycle/revalidationSweep.mjs
  • PR body / close-target changes: Pass — Resolves #15277; #14750 remains open; PR and target now carry the compatibility boundary, census evidence, and two-row Contract Ledger.
  • Branch freshness / merge state: CLEAN at the exact head; all required checks green.

✅ Previous Required Actions Audit

  • Addressed: Pick one explicit authority fork — the recommended partial-leaf fork is selected, with #15277 owning exactly the delivered slice.
  • Addressed: Migrate the two direct lifecycle reads — resolveHarnessTargetForIdentity calls resolveResidentFamily; resolveIdentitiesForFamily calls resolveResidentFamilyById.
  • Addressed: Keep persisted-successor consumption and flat-field retirement open — #14750 retains graph seeding, reflexive-landing agreement, successor-episode reads, and final modelFamily retirement.
  • Addressed: Truth-fold the source boundary — metadata now calls modelFamily a temporary episode-owned compatibility field, distinguishes graph-node caller fallbacks, credits hosted CI plus source census, and records failure/retirement behavior in the Contract Ledger.
  • Still open: None.

🔬 Delta Depth Floor

  • Documented delta search: I actively checked the two lifecycle consumers, every exact-head modelFamily occurrence under ai/, the GitHub close-target graph, and the PR/#15277 contract wording and found no new concerns after the metadata polish.

🔎 Conditional Audit Delta

The delta changes consumed family-resolution wiring and close-target truth; the affected evidence and contract dimensions are expanded below. No MCP description, skill, or wire-format delta is introduced.


🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit

  • Evidence: exact-head hosted CI is fully green at 3a0c3fe458; the lifecycle directory is 163/163 locally with zero spec-text changes; reviewer falsifier was the exact-head source census plus closing-target query, both now satisfied.
  • Test location: Pass — existing lifecycle tests exercise the migrated readers; resolver and graph-node witness boundaries remain beside their owners.
  • Findings: Pass.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Findings: Pass. The PR and #15277 now name the two resolver/caller fallback contracts, failure behavior, source owner, and #14750 retirement triggers without reclassifying an episode-owned fact as permanent identity truth.

📊 Metrics Delta

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 62 -> 94 — truthful partial close, common era-chain-first seam, gated end-state retained on its parent.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 58 -> 94 — six-consumer census, accurate compatibility language, and compact Contract Ledger complete the delivered contract.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 -> 97 — both missed lifecycle consumers repaired and exact-head CI fully green.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 72 -> 96 — preserves the shipped value without falsely closing the gated remainder.
  • [IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review (94).
  • [COMPLEXITY]: unchanged from prior review (78).
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review (Heavy Lift).
