Resolves #15395 Related: #15396 Related: #15246 Related: #15243 Related: #15551

Composes the dual-window conversion sensor into the deterministic stable-claim/outcome path. The dock source now resolves its exact live dragged-vessel rect, the coordinator supplies live target geometry plus pointer-owned claim truth, and .55/.35 min-axis hysteresis gates preview and commit without letting a logical proxy, stale resize, ambiguous target, or raw pointer miss mint authority.

Evidence: L4 (headed native-window geometry, browser-to-manager parity, exact-vessel falsifier, calibrated slow crossing, and canonical full round-trip) → L4 required (production composition + calibration + headed matrix). Residual: #15396 owns physical park/re-show and production opt-in; that OS-window lifecycle is explicitly outside this close target.

Deltas from ticket

  • Composes the already-landed pure sensor with the stable-identity claim protocol through an optional, synchronous source-policy hook documented in ADR 0029. No new gesture state is introduced: the hook decides entry/retention/commit eligibility for the existing DETACHED_MOVING ⇄ HOVERING_CLAIM transition.
  • Resolves source geometry through a clone-safe owner request. The source owner maps the semantic item to its exact live tear-out vessel; the coordinator's logical pointer-follow proxy is retained separately and cannot substitute for conversion geometry.
  • Makes WindowPosition publish one complete geometry snapshot for both movement and fixed-origin resize, including the nested runtime windowId consumed by the App Worker route.
  • Calibrates .55 convert-in / .35 convert-out with zero default pointer-exit grace. A raw claim miss always drops commit eligibility immediately; any configured grace is visual-only.
  • Extends the headed matrix with small-over-large, large-over-small, near-equal, post-resize, diagonal min-vs-product, fake-proxy, pointer-out, and slow-cross receipts.
  • Preserves the separately merged exact-owner-grant repair from #15558 and strengthens the canonical journey to assert that the target retains the live pane while the competing tear-out vessel keeps a distinct identity.
  • Keeps Demo B's physical conversion opt-in false until #15396 supplies generation-scoped park/re-show. This PR emits the production conversion seams but deliberately does not revive the legacy close/reopen actuator pair.

Test Evidence

  • Exact head 39c50b9909: focused production/unit suite — 94/94 passed (DockVesselConversion, DockLayoutAdapter, DockTabSortZone, DragCoordinator, and WindowPosition).
  • Exact head 39c50b9909: headed DemoBVesselConversionNL matrix row — 1/1 passed. Live browser and manager rects were equal in all four size cells; the diagonal receipt measured rx=.8, ry=.598425, min=.598425, product=.478740; the slow sequence .20 → .50 → .58 → .50 → .38 → .32 produced false, false, true, true, true, false with exactly two flips.
  • Exact head 39c50b9909: canonical DemoBPerspectivesNL journey — 1/1 passed in 48.3s with distinct target/tear-out authorities and the same live CounterPane completing the round trip.
  • npm run agent-preflight -- --no-fix <14 changed files> — passed ticket archaeology, whitespace, shorthand, JSDoc types, block alignment, parsing, and staged diff checks. Only unrelated existing stale-overlay warnings were reported.
  • Independent adversarial re-audit after the live-source/ADR corrections — clean, zero remaining concrete blockers.

Post-Merge Validation

  • #15396 composes strict, generation-scoped physical park/re-show with these conversion seams and enables the Demo B production opt-in without windowClose / windowOpen churn.
  • Rerun the headed portability matrix after that lifecycle lands; keep its OS-specific rows honest rather than promoting them from this geometry-only receipt.

Evolution

The first binding draft measured the coordinator's logical drag proxy. An adversarial audit falsified that authority: the proxy can retain requested birth dimensions after the vessel resizes. The final shape makes the source owner synchronously resolve the exact live vessel and adds a headed fake-proxy counterexample (40×20 at -9000,-9000) so that regression cannot pass under the old geometry.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: A well-constructed, well-evidenced composition of the (already-landed) conversion sensor into the stable-claim path via an optional, fail-closed, ADR-0029-documented source hook. The core coordinator + resolver logic is sound, the opt-in is clean (default-false, Demo B physical conversion stays off pending #15396), and the L4 headed matrix + falsifiers back the calibration. Only a cosmetic comment-indent nit — non-blocking; not follow-up-ticket fuel.

Peer-Review Opening: Thanks Euclid — the Evolution note (adversarial audit falsifying the logical-proxy authority, then the exact-live-vessel fix + the 40×20 @ -9000,-9000 counterexample) is exactly the kind of self-falsification that makes this reviewable with confidence. Clean work.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #15395 (close-target) + #15396 (residual owner), the ADR-0029 hook table added here, the full DragCoordinator.onDragMove/onDragEnd + handleVoid at head 39c50b9909, DockTabSortZone.resolveRemoteDragTransition + the .55/.35 threshold configs, DockLayoutAdapter wiring, DemoBWorkspace.resolveVesselConversionSourceRect, WindowPosition.publishGeometry, and the fake-proxy + slow-cross falsifiers. Prior-art sweep surfaced the G3/G4 docking arc + the v13.2 QT-docking lineage.
  • Expected Solution Shape: An OPTIONAL, synchronous, fail-closed source policy composed into the existing DETACHED_MOVING ⇄ HOVERING_CLAIM transition — no new gesture state, exact live-vessel geometry (never the logical proxy), commit gated on the raw pointer claim, and a default-off physical opt-in. Must not break the exact-once terminal cleanup in onDragEnd.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The hook returns null (legacy path) or exactly {engage, retain, commitEligible}; a throw/Promise/malformed record fails closed (coordinator nulls the target + cancelVesselConversion); the resolver delegates .55/.35 min-axis hysteresis to the sensor, makes grace visual-only (commitEligible:false on any raw miss), and resets on target-switch. The exact-once cleanup is preserved: the new commit-eligibility gate sits inside an outer try whose finally resets the conversion state on every terminal, and the inner onRemoteDrop try/finally (activeTargetZone=null) is intact.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert — the PR's own adversarial audit falsified the first (proxy-based) authority and the headed fake-proxy counterexample encodes the regression guard, so the geometry authority is evidence-bound, not asserted.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #15395
  • Related Graph Nodes: #15396 (physical park/re-show + production opt-in — the honest residual), ADR 0029 (harness docking design)

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge / documented search: I actively looked for (1) a broken exact-once terminal cleanup from the onDragEnd outer-try restructure — the outer finally resets all conversion state on every path incl. throws, and the inner try/finally still nulls activeTargetZone, so cleanup stays exact-once; (2) the logical-proxy leaking back in as commit geometry — resolveVesselConversionSourceRect maps the runtime windowIdmanager.Window.innerRect and the proxy is only ever the pointer-follow, never conversion geometry; (3) a coordinate-family mismatch — the resolver feeds the target's innerRect (not the outer frame), matching the claim region, with an explicit comment; and (4) a stale-extent metric — WindowPosition.publishGeometry publishes the full snapshot on resize too. Found no correctness concern.

One non-blocking nit: in DragCoordinator.onDragEnd, the onRemoteDrop explanatory comment block is under-indented ~4 spaces after the new outer-try wrap (the let result / if around it are correct). Cosmetic only.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: The ADR-0029 hook table + the code comments match the diff exactly (fail-closed, commitEligible MUST drop immediately, retain visual-only). No overshoot. Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: The load-bearing idea is "claim truth and conversion geometry share ONE coordinate family, and neither the logical proxy nor the outer frame may substitute for the exact live vessel innerRect." Composing a decision as an optional synchronous hook that fails closed (null=legacy, malformed=no-commit) — rather than new gesture state — is a clean pattern for extending a settled state machine.

🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

WindowPosition.publishGeometry extends the windowPositionChange event payload additively — the movement path now also carries size + the nested windowId (deliberately inside the payload because App.onWindowPositionChange forwards the nested object only). Existing consumers reading position are unaffected; the added fields are opt-in reads. The resolveRemoteDragTransition(frame) shape is a new internal contract, documented in ADR 0029. No breaking change.


N/A Audits — 📡 🔗 🧠

N/A across listed dimensions: no OpenAPI/MCP-description surface, no skill/convention integration change, and the ADR-0029 edit is an on-demand reference decision doc (not turn/skill-loaded substrate), so no turn-memory load-effect audit applies.


🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #15395
  • #15395 confirmed not epic-labeled (labels: enhancement, ai) — a valid leaf; #15396 correctly carries the physical-lifecycle residual as Related, not a close-target.

Findings: Pass


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • The ADR-0029 "Source transition-policy hook" table IS the contract ledger for the new surface.
  • The diff matches it exactly: resolveRemoteDragTransition(frame) with the documented frame fields, the {engage, retain, commitEligible} return, null=legacy, throw/Promise/malformed=fail-closed, retain visual-only while commitEligible drops immediately.

Findings: Pass


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body declares Evidence: L4 (headed native-window geometry, browser-to-manager parity, exact-vessel falsifier, calibrated slow crossing, canonical round-trip) → L4 required.
  • Achieved (L4) ≥ required (L4); the residual (#15396 physical park/re-show + production opt-in) is explicitly outside this close target and listed in Post-Merge Validation.
  • Deployment causality: the headed-matrix + canonical receipts are from this exact head 39c50b9909; no external/cloud proof is misused as a merge gate.

Findings: Pass


🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit

  • Execution evidence: exact-head focused suite 94/94 (DockVesselConversion/DockLayoutAdapter/DockTabSortZone/DragCoordinator/WindowPosition) + headed DemoBVesselConversionNL 1/1 + canonical DemoBPerspectivesNL 1/1; no CI failures at head.
  • Reviewer falsifier: spot-checked the fake-proxy counterexample (logicalSourceRect {40×20 @ -9000,-9000} asserting the owner resolver supplies the exact live vessel, not the proxy) and the slow-cross flip count (exactly one convert-in + one convert-out) — both test what they claim.
  • Test location: pass — dashboard/manager/addon unit specs + AgentOS e2e placed correctly.

Findings: Pass
