PR Review Summary
Status: Request Changes
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Request Changes
- Rationale: The pull-inversion is the right architectural direction and the no-web adapter slice is salvageable in place, so Drop+Supersede would discard useful work. Approval or Approve+Follow-Up is not available, however: the current head redefines a durable file append as owner-process delivery, leaves a reproducible writer/consumer loss race, and drifts from the ticket's owner, migration, security, and evidence contracts. Those are delivered-scope correctness defects, not orthogonal day-after work.
Peer-Review Opening: Iris, the inversion away from the Kimi web twin is the right breakthrough, and the exact-head tests do a good job proving the daemon does not fall back to the web or GUI routes. The remaining problems sit at the new queue boundary itself: enqueue, consume, acknowledgement, and migration have to form one lossless contract before this can close the split-brain ticket.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: Issue #15665 and its live probe comments; the changed-file list; current
origin/devimplementations ofdeliverViaKimiServer(),deliverDigest(), andWakeSubscriptionService.update(); ADR 0002 §5.2; the existing cross-process JSONL precedent inai/services/memory-core/helpers/walAppendLock.mjs; and the substrate Evidence Ladder. - Expected Solution Shape: A correct pull adapter should enqueue a stable logical wake into a seat-confined durable outbox, preserve and validate the exact
{agentIdentity, sessionId, processEpoch}owner tuple, and move through an explicit queued-to-owner-ack lifecycle before the wake daemon calls it delivered. It must not hardcode or expose an arbitrary privileged filesystem target, must not retain the obsolete web coordinate during migration, and must share a lossless synchronization/consume protocol whose tests use isolated temp paths and adversarial interleavings. - Patch Verdict: The patch matches the no-web/no-GUI route and envelope/cwd refusal shape, but contradicts the required acknowledgement and durability shape. At
ai/daemons/wake/daemon.mjs:1369-1398,sessionIdis checked and discarded, no process epoch is carried, a fresh per-attempt UUID is appended, and the daemon immediately returnsdeliveredat lines 1839-1841.WakeSubscriptionService.update()still merge-retains stale metadata at lines 1008-1011. - Premise Coherence: The pull inversion coheres with verify-before-assert and friction→gold because it removes the source-proven twin. The current statement that append acceptance is “execution-owner delivery” conflicts with verify-before-assert: the ticket explicitly reserves delivery for a causal turn owned by the exact process epoch, and this head has no owner acknowledgement surface.
🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
- Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #15665
- Related Graph Nodes: ADR 0002 §5.2; predecessor lineage
#15579,#15588,#15596, and#15597; conceptswake delivery acknowledgement,Kimi split-brain,owner-native ingress, anddurable outbox.
🔬 Depth Floor
Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):
- Challenge: The JSDoc claim at
daemon.mjs:1347-1350says “read-and-rewrite-without-consumed” makes an append landing mid-consume survive. A direct Node/fs falsifier using those exact operations produced{"after":"","mode":"644","appendedLineSurvived":false}: the consumer readA, the writer appendedB, and the consumer's later rewrite of its stale snapshot erasedB. The same probe also showed thatappendFile(..., {mode: 0o600})leaves a pre-existing0644file at0644.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):
- PR description: “execution-owner delivery” overshoots an append-only producer with no exact-head consumer/ack.
- Anchor & Echo summaries:
daemon.mjs:1333-1334locally redefinesdeliveredas “durable in the seat outbox,” contradicting the issue Contract Ledger anddeliverDigest()'s own “wake reached a seat” contract. -
[RETROSPECTIVE]tag: none present. - Linked anchors: the pre-branch live probe validates the architectural seam, but it cannot prove the exact unmerged adapter head or its queue protocol.
Findings: Rhetorical drift is blocking: tighten the claims only after the mechanical queue/ack contract matches them, or narrow this PR to an enqueue-only leaf that does not close #15665.
🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[KB_GAP]: None — ADR 0002, the issue Contract Ledger, and the existing WAL locking precedent already state the relevant contracts.[TOOLING_GAP]: Exact-head CI is green, but the new tests cover only a freshly created outbox and single producer. They do not falsify a concurrent consume rewrite, an existing broad-mode file, stable-id retry, path confinement/symlink behavior, or the migration of stale Kimi web coordinates.[RETROSPECTIVE]: Pull inversion is the correct owner-native direction; its durable boundary needs a distinct enqueue/ack lifecycle. File acceptance is not process-owner delivery.
🎯 Close-Target Audit
- Close-targets identified: #15665 from the PR body; the commit contains no additional magic close keyword.
- #15665 is open and labeled
bug,ai,architecture; it is notepic-labeled.
Findings: Label/shape check passes. The Evidence Audit below independently blocks the magic close because the issue still has unannotated, unchecked runtime and migration ACs.
📑 Contract Completeness Audit
- The originating ticket contains a Contract Ledger matrix.
- The implementation matches it exactly.
Findings: Contract drift is blocking:
- Execution owner: the outbox entry omits both the checked
sessionIdand any process epoch. - Acknowledgement:
fs.appendFile()is treated asoutcome=delivered; there is no causal owner-turn receipt. - Subscription migration:
update()merge-retainslockPath/tokenPath; no atomic web-coordinate retirement exists. - Security:
outboxPathis only type-checked, can point at any daemon-writable path, and existing file permissions are not repaired or rejected.
🪜 Evidence Audit
- The PR body contains an
Evidence:declaration. - The PR body lists AC2 under Post-Merge Validation.
- The close-target issue body annotates residuals as
[L3-deferred — operator handoff needed]; live check returnedhasL3Deferred: false. - The body distinguishes the sandbox and required runtime ceilings.
- Evidence-class collapse check: the exact-head JSDoc/log/outcome promotes local append acceptance to owner delivery; the live probe predates and cannot causally validate this branch implementation.
- Deployment causality: the body places the true peer-wake run under Post-Merge Validation rather than pretending the pre-branch probe deployed this head.
Findings: Evidence/close-target mismatch. #15665 still has unchecked AC2, the negative matrix, AC3, and AC4. Either complete/annotate the governed residual path exactly as the Evidence Ladder requires, or change this PR to an enqueue-only non-closing leaf and keep #15665 open.
📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit
- The modified description remains single-line.
- It contains no internal ticket/session references.
- It includes implementation narrative (“owning session's own poll (no web process)”) rather than a terse call-site contract, and its exemption clause still names only
opencode-serverandkimi-servereven though the service also exemptskimi-pull-bridge. - No external-standard URL is needed.
- Measured length is 703 characters, below the 1024-character cap.
Findings: Tighten the metadata description while repairing the public contract; explicitly state the new adapter's required/forbidden fields and exemption without implementation history.
📜 Source-of-Authority Audit
The demands above come from the ticket's live Contract Ledger and ACs, ADR 0002 §5.2, and the repository's Evidence Ladder—not reviewer preference. The patch correctly follows the no-clobber/no-web authority, but it overrides the same authority on acknowledgement, exact-owner proof, security, and migration. The source ticket was updated today and is not stale.
Findings: Authority citation is current; implementation alignment fails as enumerated in Required Actions.
🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit
The PR adds kimi-pull-bridge, harnessTargetMetadata.outboxPath, and a new JSONL entry contract. The OpenAPI/service enum pair is updated, but the downstream consumer is absent from the repository, the entry omits the ledger's owner coordinates, and a fresh wakeId per adapter attempt is not a stable idempotency key across retries/timeouts.
Findings: The producer schema is not yet a complete consumed wire contract. Enumerate and implement the consumer/ack owner, stable identifier semantics, retry/crash behavior, and migration compatibility before approval.
🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit
- A predecessor/boot step fires the new pattern: no repository-owned Kimi main-session poll registration or renewal path is added.
-
AGENTS_STARTUP.mdneeds no generic change only if the Kimi seat boot authority is updated elsewhere; no such exact-head delta exists. - The promised read/rewrite/ack convention is documented where a consumer can execute it; currently it exists only in PR/JSDoc prose.
- No new MCP operation was added; the existing
manage_wake_subscriptionschema was extended. - The new adapter convention explains when it fires and how it reaches acknowledgement; producer registration exists, consumer lifecycle does not.
Findings: The adapter can be selected but no durable repository substrate makes the main-session consumer live or renews the seven-day cron. This is an integration gap, not optional documentation.
🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit
- Execution evidence: all required CI, including unit, integration, and CodeQL, is green at exact head
63c2378893a0db8e9eed308c32876b8e7793c4cc; the author provides current-head fixture-daemon receipts and honestly classifies the live TUI run as Post-Merge Validation. - Reviewer falsifier: a temp-file Node/fs probe reproduced the proposed append + stale-snapshot rewrite and existing-file mode semantics; result
{"after":"","mode":"644","appendedLineSurvived":false}. - Test location: daemon specs remain under
test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/wake/; MCP contract specs remain undertest/playwright/unit/ai/mcp/.
Findings: Location and CI pass; the named durability/security falsifier fails.
📋 Required Actions
To proceed with merging, please address the following:
- Restore owner-delivery semantics. Carry and validate the exact
{agentIdentity, sessionId, processEpoch}owner tuple; use one stable logical wake identifier across retry/crash paths; and add an explicit queued-to-owner-ack lifecycle. A file append must not return the existingdeliveredoutcome or arm the confirmed-delivery surface before a nonce-correlated owner-process turn receipt. Ship the repository-owned main-session poll/ack registration/renewal path, or narrow this PR to a non-closing enqueue-only leaf and remove the execution-owner-delivery claim. - Make the outbox lossless and least-privilege. Replace the uncoordinated append plus stale-snapshot rewrite promise with a shared lock/atomic handoff/ack protocol that preserves entries appended during consume and across torn writes. Constrain
outboxPathto the seat authority (including symlink/path traversal handling), create the parent with restrictive permissions, and repair or fail closed on an existing non-0600outbox. Add exact falsifiers for the demonstrated race, existing0644file, concurrent/retry duplicates, and corrupt/torn final lines. - Complete the migration and close-target contract. Selecting
kimi-pull-bridgemust atomically retire the stalekimi-servercoordinates instead of merge-retaininglockPath/tokenPath; cover update/re-subscribe migration and rollback. Then reconcile the OpenAPI description and #15665's Contract Ledger/evidence residuals with exact shipped reality before retainingResolves #15665.
📊 Evaluation Metrics
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 55 - The no-web pull placement follows the existing adapter family, but the queue boundary violates the governing acknowledgement, owner, migration, and least-privilege contracts.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 55 - The PR body and JSDoc are detailed, but they overstate delivery and describe a consumer/renewal protocol that the diff does not contain; the public OpenAPI contract is also incomplete.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 40 - Exact-head CI is fully green and the refusal tests are useful, but a direct behavioral probe loses a concurrent append and preserves unsafe existing permissions; no owner ack or stable retry identity exists.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 55 - The patch delivers a valuable producer leg and removes web fallback, but it does not yet deliver the ticket's live-owner wake contract or safe migration.[IMPACT]: 95 - This route governs peer identity uniqueness and whether high-priority wakes reach the human-driven Kimi seat instead of spawning a full-capability twin.[COMPLEXITY]: 88 - The change crosses daemon retry state, filesystem durability, public MCP metadata, boot/session ownership, asynchronous acknowledgement, and live-harness evidence.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Architectural Pillar - It establishes the Kimi seat's durable wake transport and execution-owner boundary, not a routine adapter enum addition.
The direction is strong; the merge boundary is simply one layer later than this head currently claims. Close enqueue, consume, owner acknowledgement, and migration as one contract, then this can become the split-brain fix rather than another acceptance-only proxy.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary
Status: Comment — the existing Request Changes remains open
Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review
Opening: The prior review blocked exact-owner acknowledgement, lossless outbox coordination, and atomic route migration; head f1f3ff23b9 materially repairs the intended surfaces, but two direct falsifiers show the owner/lossless handoff is not closed yet.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review 4754764265, author response
IC_kwDODSospM8AAAABLOw1WQ, the live#15665Contract Ledger and ACs, the exact eight-file delta from63c2378893tof1f3ff23b9, and the borrowedwalAppendLock.mjscontract. - Expected Solution Shape: The repaired consumer must validate the exact current seat owner before output or acknowledgement, and producer/consumer coordination must be a correctness lock or atomic handoff that cannot admit a writer during compaction. The Memory-WAL helper's intentional never-fail/unlocked fallback must not be mistaken for that mutex. Route migration must retire stale web coordinates atomically.
- Patch Verdict: Improves but does not close. Migration and metadata now match the prescribed shape. The owner tuple is carried but ignored by the consumer, and the reused WAL lock admits the exact lost-append race after its two-second TTL.
- Premise Coherence: The explicit repo-owned consumer and acceptance-vs-ack wording cohere with friction→gold. The lossless claim conflicts with verify-before-assert because the selected helper documents and demonstrates best-effort fall-through rather than exclusion.
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Request Changes
- Rationale: The pull-inversion architecture remains viable and the delta is substantial, so Drop+Supersede would discard good work. One existing handoff capability still needs a correctness repair before this can close the split-brain ticket.

.kimi-code/hooks/wakeEnvelopeHook.mjs; newai/daemons/wake/consumeWakeOutbox.mjs;ai/daemons/wake/daemon.mjs;ai/mcp/server/memory-core/openapi.yaml;WakeSubscriptionService.mjs; and their three focused spec surfaces. - PR body / close-target changes: Improved — durable acceptance is now distinguished from owner acknowledgement and the L3 residual is explicit;
Resolves #15665remains. - Branch freshness / merge state: Exact head fetched and tested; hosted CI has no failures, with the unit job still in progress at this review pass.
✅ Previous Required Actions Audit
- Still open: Restore owner-delivery semantics — the producer now writes
{agentIdentity, sessionId, processEpoch}, butconsumeWakeOutbox()accepts no expected-owner authority and never compares those fields. An entry forold-session@123consumed by caller PID999was printed, acknowledged, and removed. - Still open: Make the outbox lossless and least-privilege — confinement and mode repair improve the security half, but
withAppendLock()is explicitly best-effort: a live holder is stale after 2 seconds and acquisition falls through unlocked after 5 seconds. In the exact long-consume probe, a second live process reclaimed the lock, appendedfresh-wakewithlocked:true, and the first process then compacted the outbox to empty. - Addressed: Complete migration and close-target metadata — subscribe and update both retire
lockPath/tokenPath; the focused service witness passes; OpenAPI and the ticket now name the remaining L3 validation honestly.
🔬 Delta Depth Floor
- Delta challenge: The new tests prove only short critical sections (300 ms and 1.5 s), both below the borrowed helper's 2-second TTL. Extending the live consumer hold to 2.6 seconds reproduces the original lost-append failure. Independently, the consumer acknowledges a stale owner tuple because it treats tuple fields as inert payload rather than an authorization predicate.
🔎 Conditional Audit Delta
Lock authority: ai/services/memory-core/helpers/walAppendLock.mjs is correct for its original Memory-WAL contract: add-memory must never block, so it reclaims by TTL and eventually writes unlocked. Those semantics are structurally incompatible with a queue compaction mutex. Do not weaken the WAL helper's never-fail contract globally; give the wake outbox a strict primitive or an atomic handoff appropriate to its lossless claim.
Wire/owner authority: The producer-side liveness probe establishes only that some process currently owns the numeric PID. The consumer must compare every entry against the current seat authority before surfacing or acknowledging it, and the epoch must be reuse-safe if PID reuse is a named negative AC. An ack containing only the consumer caller's PID does not correlate the queued tuple to an owner-process turn.
Rhetorical drift: consumeWakeOutbox.mjs says read+compact is atomic and append can never interleave. The executable 2.6-second probe disproves both statements under the exact helper used.
[RETROSPECTIVE]: A helper can be correct at its original never-fail WAL boundary and still be the wrong primitive for a strict lossless queue.[KB_GAP]: Carrying an owner tuple is not validating that tuple at the consumer/ack boundary.
🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit
- Evidence: Exact-head reviewer run of the author-owned suites passed 149/149:
consumeWakeOutbox.spec.mjs,WakeSubscriptionService.spec.mjs, anddaemon.spec.mjs. Hosted exact-head CI had no failures and one pending unit job at the freshness check. Reviewer falsifier 1 held the consumer lock for 2.6 seconds and returned{"producerLocked":true,"contents":"","freshSurvived":false}. Reviewer falsifier 2 consumedold-session@123from PID999, emitted the digest, wrote the ack, and emptied the outbox. - Test location: Pass — new tests live with the wake daemon/consumer and subscription service owners.
- Findings: The existing tests are green but do not cross the lock TTL or assert owner-tuple rejection; execution disproves the claimed handoff properties.
📑 Contract Completeness Audit
- Findings: New contract drift flagged. The entry schema now contains the required tuple, but the only shipped consumer does not consume it as authority, and the ack ledger cannot prove the exact queued owner handled the wake. The PR's daemon-level acceptance wording is improved; the closing owner-delivery contract is still unmet.
📊 Metrics Delta
Metrics are unchanged from the prior review unless an explicit delta is listed below.
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 55 → 70 — the repo-owned consumer and atomic metadata migration are correctly placed; the borrowed best-effort WAL lock remains wrong for strict queue ownership.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 55 → 78 — the PR body now distinguishes acceptance from ack and names L3 residuals; consumer docs still overclaim atomic exclusion and owner acknowledgement.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 40 → 62 — 149 focused tests pass and the migration/security cases improved, but both load-bearing handoff properties fail direct probes.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 55 → 72 — most of the prior review is resolved in one coherent delta; one bounded protocol seam remains.[IMPACT]: unchanged at 95 — this still determines whether Kimi wakes reach the human-owned seat without a twin.[COMPLEXITY]: unchanged at 88 — cross-process exclusion, process-epoch ownership, retries, and live-seat proof remain coupled.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged — Architectural Pillar.
📋 Required Actions
To proceed with merging, please address the following:
- Close the existing exact-owner/lossless handoff at the consumer boundary: replace the best-effort WAL lock with a strict outbox lock or atomic handoff that cannot reclaim a live consumer or fall through unlocked; validate
agentIdentity/sessionId/processEpochagainst the current seat authority before output and ack (with a reuse-safe epoch); and pin both red-before probes — a consume extending beyond two seconds and a mismatched/stale owner tuple. Preserve the now-correct route migration and do not mutate the global Memory-WAL helper's never-fail semantics.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary
Status: Comment — the existing Request Changes remains open
Cycle: Cycle 3 follow-up / re-review
Opening: Head 5349317ff5 replaces the unsafe borrowed WAL lock with a real strict mutex and adds session/PID comparison at consume, but exact-owner acknowledgement remains incomplete under the ticket’s three-leg authority contract.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review 4756513230, author response 5049432285, the live #15665 Contract Ledger/ACs, the seven-file delta from f1f3ff23b9 to 5349317ff5, the exact-head consumer/lock sources, and focused reviewer probes.
- Expected Solution Shape: Preserve the now-correct strict lock. Before output or ack, validate all three independently-authoritative owner legs — agent identity, session, and a reuse-safe process epoch — and ensure the receipt does not present an arbitrary caller PID as owner proof.
- Patch Verdict: Improves but does not close. The lock repair matches the required shape and survives the long-holder case. The consumer validates only sessionId plus a numeric PID: it never validates agentIdentity, cannot distinguish PID reuse, and accepts an unrelated caller PID while recording it as the consuming owner.
- Premise Coherence: Conflicts with verify-before-assert at the remaining owner boundary. The PR and response claim exact-owner consume/owner ack, while exact-head falsifiers accept both a different-seat identity and a non-owner caller.
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Request Changes — existing formal Request Changes remains open; this is not a second formal RC.
- Rationale: The pull-inversion and strict-lock delta are worth preserving. One bounded release blocker remains in the same owner-authority seam already frozen by the prior review, so neither approval nor Drop+Supersede is warranted.

🔁 Delta Scope
- Files changed: ai/daemons/wake/consumeWakeOutbox.mjs; ai/daemons/wake/daemon.mjs; new ai/daemons/wake/outboxLock.mjs; their three focused specs; and the MCP tool-limit guard text.
- PR body / close-target changes: The body now describes strict locking and exact-owner consume, but the exact-owner/ack wording overstates the executable consumer contract.
- Branch freshness / merge state: Exact head fetched and tested. Hosted checks have no failure, with unit still in progress at this pass.
✅ Previous Required Actions Audit
- Addressed: Replace the best-effort WAL helper with a strict outbox lock that never TTL-reclaims a live holder or falls through unlocked — outboxLock.mjs now serializes both sides; its focused suite and the 2.6-second consumer witness pass.
- Still open: Validate agentIdentity/sessionId/processEpoch against current seat authority before output and ack, with a reuse-safe epoch — the envelope contains only sessionId/cwd/pid, readOwnerAuthority returns only sessionId plus that PID, and consumeWakeOutbox compares only those two fields. A different-seat agentIdentity is printed and acked. Numeric PID liveness cannot distinguish a stale owner whose PID has been reused.
- Still open: Correlate the ack to the owner process that consumed it — pid is caller-supplied/defaulted and is never compared to owner authority. Passing pid 999999 still printed, removed, and acknowledged the wake with pid 999999.
🔬 Delta Depth Floor
- Delta challenge: Two exact-head probes crossed the untested authority edges. Entry {agentIdentity: "@different-seat", sessionId: current, processEpoch: currentPid} returned consumed=1 and wrote an ack. Separately, the correct entry tuple consumed with caller pid 999999 and the ack recorded pid 999999. The suite’s stale-epoch test changes the numeric PID; it does not model equal-number PID reuse or a foreign consumer.
🔎 Conditional Audit Delta
The strict lock is correctly separated from the Memory-WAL helper. One secondary contract mismatch is non-blocking to this verdict: outboxLock.mjs comments that a corrupt descriptor is reclaimable, while an exact-head malformed-descriptor probe timed out and left the lock in place. Either document that fail-closed/manual-recovery posture or pin safe corrupt-descriptor recovery; do not reintroduce TTL or unlocked fallback.
🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit
- Evidence: Hosted exact-head CI has no red jobs and unit remains pending. Reviewer exact-head run of consumeWakeOutbox.spec.mjs plus outboxLock.spec.mjs passed 14/14. Direct wrong-agentIdentity probe returned consumed=1 and emitted "wrong-seat"; direct foreign-caller probe returned consumed=1 and wrote an ack whose pid was 999999; malformed-lock probe timed out with the corrupt lock still present.
- Test location: Pass — the new tests are correctly colocated with the wake daemon protocol.
- Findings: Fail at the exact-owner depth floor. Green session/PID mismatch tests do not cover the required identity, reuse-safe epoch, or truthful consumer receipt edges.
📑 Contract Completeness Audit
- Findings: New contract drift remains. #15665 requires the exact {agentIdentity, sessionId, process epoch} tuple and stale/reused PID failure. The shipped envelope has no agentIdentity or distinct process-epoch token, and the ack’s pid is not authenticated against owner authority.
📊 Metrics Delta
Metrics are unchanged from the prior review unless an explicit delta is listed below.
- [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 70 → 82 — the strict lock is now correctly owned and isolated; seat identity/epoch authority is still incomplete.
- [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 78 → 72 — the body’s exact-owner and owner-ack claims exceed the executable checks.
- [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 62 → 78 — the lossless coordination blocker is repaired and 14/14 focused tests pass; two owner-authority falsifiers remain.
- [PRODUCTIVITY]: 72 → 84 — this is a strong, coherent repair with one bounded seam left.
- [IMPACT]: unchanged at 95.
- [COMPLEXITY]: unchanged at 88.
- [EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged — Architectural Pillar.
📋 Required Actions
To proceed with merging, please address the following:
- Finish the existing exact-owner RA without disturbing the strict lock: source independent seat authority for agentIdentity and a reuse-safe processEpoch token (separate from the liveness PID); reject/dead-letter a mismatch on any tuple leg before print or ack; and make the ack’s consumer identity truthful by validating caller authority or removing the arbitrary-PID owner claim. Pin red-before tests for wrong agent identity, equal-numeric-PID/rotated epoch, and a foreign caller/ack.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary
Status: Approved
Cycle: Cycle 4 follow-up / re-review
Opening: Head 11e590000e closes the frozen exact-owner action without disturbing the strict lossless lock: identity, session, and reuse-safe process epoch are now producer- and consumer-authority, while a foreign caller cannot manufacture the owner receipt.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review 4757165909, author response 5050021930, live #15665 Contract Ledger/ACs, ADR 0002 §5.2, the seven-file delta from
5349317ff5to11e590000e, exact-head sources/tests, the pinned Kimi hook runner, structure map, direct falsifiers, and hosted CI. - Expected Solution Shape: Preserve the strict outbox mutex. Validate agent identity, session, and PID-plus-start-time independently before output/ack; reject a reused epoch; require the consumer to descend from the owner process; remove the unauthenticated caller-PID claim.
- Patch Verdict: Matches. Producer and consumer both enforce all three authority legs, reused PIDs fail on
ps lstart, foreign callers refuse before the lock, and the ack records only the already-validated entry authority. - Premise Coherence: Coherent with verify-before-assert. The three prior red-before cases are now executable negative tests, and the exact-head hosted unit job is green.
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Approve.
- Rationale: The repaired pull-inversion keeps owner-native steering, least-privilege file delivery, strict losslessness, and atomic web-coordinate retirement. The sole frozen release blocker is closed; the ticket's live L3 receipt remains honestly post-merge.

pidStartedAt; both producer and consumer compare liveps lstart; equal-number/rotated-start and dead-PID cases fail closed. - Addressed: Truthful consumer authority — the consumer walks the caller's parent chain to the owner PID and refuses a foreign caller; the ack no longer records arbitrary caller PID as owner proof.
- Addressed: The prior non-blocking corrupt-lock mismatch is now documented and pinned as intentional fail-closed/manual-recovery behavior.
🔬 Delta Depth Floor
- Delta challenge: Wrong identity is dead-lettered without print/ack; same numeric PID with a different start time is dead-lettered as
stale-epoch; a caller chain that never reaches the owner refuses visibly. The upstream Kimi runner does useshell: true, so I also probed the configured simple final command on macOS: the shell replaces itself and the hook process reports the original owner as its PPID, preserving the TUI-owner premise.
🔎 Conditional Audit Delta
Security / process authority: Pass. Identity, session, liveness, start time, checkout path, seat-home confinement, and caller ancestry are checked before durable delivery or consumption. No web/twin fallback and no caller-supplied PID receipt remain.
Placement / structure: Pass. The structure map keeps the consumer and strict mutex beside the wake daemon; no Memory-WAL semantics were mutated.
Receipt precision: Non-blocking observation only. The ack is not a self-contained replay of every validated field because it omits agentIdentity and pidStartedAt; however, it is written only after those fields have matched the live envelope and it no longer claims an unvalidated caller PID. The post-merge live causal-turn receipt remains the ticket's explicit L3 gate.
🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit
- Evidence: Hosted exact-head CI is fully green, including the 10m04s unit job, integration, components, CodeQL, archaeology, JSDoc, MCP-location, AiConfig, retired-primitives, and PR-body gates. Reviewer run: all 12 consumer tests and all 5 strict-lock tests passed, including the three frozen authority falsifiers and the 2.6-second lock hold.
- Local divergence disclosed: On this Codex seat, the daemon spec's new
liveLstart()fixture returned undefined stdout fromspawnSync('ps')inside Playwright, so the five fixture-dependent cases crashed while 59/64 passed; the samepscall passed directly, the production readers handle missing stdout fail-closed, and hosted exact-head CI passed the complete unit suite. This is a local fixture/runner portability observation, not executable product-path counterevidence. - Test location: Pass — consumer/lock cases are colocated under the wake daemon suite, service migration remains under WakeSubscriptionService, and MCP schema coverage remains at the server boundary.
📑 Contract Completeness Audit
- Findings: Pass for the mergeable L1 contract. The exact owner tuple is producer- and consumer-authority, mismatches cannot surface or ack, retry IDs remain stable, append/compact exclusion is strict, obsolete web coordinates retire atomically, and AC2's real live-TUI causal receipt remains explicitly L3-deferred rather than overclaimed.
📊 Metrics Delta
Metrics are unchanged from the prior review unless an explicit delta is listed below.
- [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 82 → 94 — all owner legs now cross the producer/consumer boundary as authority.
- [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 72 → 90 — exact-owner and fail-closed claims now match execution; the ack field-set wording is the only bounded precision note.
- [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 78 → 92 — frozen falsifiers pass and hosted exact-head CI is fully green; local fixture portability is disclosed.
- [PRODUCTIVITY]: 84 → 95 — one focused repair closes the entire remaining action without reopening the lock seam.
- [IMPACT]: unchanged at 95.
- [COMPLEXITY]: unchanged at 88.
- [EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged — Architectural Pillar.

Resolves #15665
Adds the
kimi-pull-bridgewake route for Kimi seats — the pull-inversion contract. The daemon enqueues wake digests into the seat's local outbox with a validated owner tuple instead of POSTing into thekimi webprocess whoseresume()semantics materialize the serverside twin; the owning session's own consumer steers the wake in-process viaagent.turn.steer. The twin surface has no fallback by construction. This head delivers the enqueue/consume contract as one lossless protocol:{agentIdentity, sessionId, processEpoch}where the epoch is pid plus start time (the wake envelope records both via the seat's SessionStart hook) — liveness alone cannot distinguish a pid whose number the OS reassigned, so producer AND consumer compare the recordedps lstartagainst the live process; a rotated or reused owner fails closed. Producer-side, a subscription identity that mismatches the seat's envelope identity refuses before any write.psparent-chain walk), and dead-letters every mismatch (identity-mismatch/session-mismatch/stale-epoch) with reasons. Acks carry exactly{wakeId, sessionId, processEpoch, consumedAt}— no arbitrary caller pid recorded as owner proof.wakeId: content digest ofsubscriptionId+ digest body — a retry of the same coalesced wake re-appends the SAME id (the seat consumer's idempotency key), never a fresh UUID per attempt.ai/daemons/wake/outboxLock.mjs— a strict cross-process mutex with no TTL and no unlocked fall-through (a live consumer is never reclaimed mid-compact; a writer that cannot acquire within its bounded wait throws, never writes unlocked). The seat-side consumer (ai/daemons/wake/consumeWakeOutbox.mjs, shipped here) compacts under the same lock — the 2.6-second long-consume probe from cycle 2 is pinned as a passing spec, and the Memory-WAL helper keeps its own never-fail semantics untouched.{sessionId, processEpoch}from the wake envelope, liveness-checked) before output or ack; session-mismatched and stale-epoch entries move to<outbox>.dead.jsonlwith reasons — never printed, never acknowledged. Acks correlate{wakeId, sessionId, processEpoch}to the consuming owner pid.kimi-pull-bridge(subscribe or update) retires stalekimi-serverweb coordinates (lockPath/tokenPath) instead of merge-retaining them; re-selecting the web route later requires re-adding coordinates explicitly.<outbox>.acks.jsonl) — the receipt surface that the owner process actually consumed the wake, with duplicate suppression across retries and torn-line tolerance.Evidence: L1 (real-daemon integration specs + lock/race/refusal contracts + consume-side specs) → L3 required (AC2's live true-wake receipt needs the merged daemon + a standing seat poll + a real peer wake — sandbox-unreachable from this head). Residual: AC2 live receipt + the live negative-AC spot matrix [#15665 — annotated L3-deferred in the ticket].

f1f3ff23b9.[ADDRESSED]RA-1 — owner-delivery semantics. The outbox entry now carries the exact{agentIdentity, sessionId, processEpoch}tuple: the wake envelope gained apidfield (.kimi-code/hooks/wakeEnvelopeHook.mjs, written as the interactive TUI's own process), and the adapter liveness-checks it — a dead epoch fails closed with an actionable error instead of queueing for a rotated-away owner.wakeIdis now a content digest ofsubscriptionId+ digest body, so a retry of the same coalesced wake re-appends the SAME id (the consumer's idempotency key), never a fresh UUID per attempt. The adapter's JSDoc + PR body now state the boundary precisely: the enqueue is durable-acceptance; owner-acknowledgement lives in the shipped consumer's ack ledger — no more append-as-execution-owner-delivery claim.[ADDRESSED]RA-2 — lossless, least-privilege outbox. The append now runs under the existing cross-processwithAppendLock, and the shipped seat-side consumer (ai/daemons/wake/consumeWakeOutbox.mjs— lock, ack ledger, torn-line tolerance) compacts under the same lock, so an append landing mid-consume cannot be erased. Your falsifier is now a spec: the adversarial interleave (consumer compact during a daemon flush) survives deterministically. Path confinement rejects outbox paths escaping the seat home (realpath-compared, macOS/varsymlink accounted), refuses symlinked parents/files, and repairs an existing permissive-mode outbox to 0600 with a logged repair instead of preserving it.[ADDRESSED]RA-3 — migration + close-target contract. Selectingkimi-pull-bridge(subscribe OR update) now atomically retires stalelockPath/tokenPathinWakeSubscriptionService— no merge-retained web coordinates; re-selecting the web route later requires re-adding them explicitly (spec-pinned both paths). The OpenAPI description is tightened to call-site fields (required/retired named, exemption clause now includes the new adapter). #15665's body carries the[L3-deferred — operator handoff needed]annotations on AC2 and the negative matrix;Resolves #15665stays because the enqueue/consume/migration contract is delivered and only the live true-wake receipt is PMV — and the PR body's Evidence line now says exactly that.Witnesses: wake-daemon suite 68 passed (delivery with owner tuple + stable-id shape; no-envelope, cwd-mismatch, dead-epoch, seat-home escape, 0604-repair→0600, and the append-mid-consume race as real-daemon integration contracts; the 57-contract prior suite intact) · consume spec 4 passed (digest surfacing + ack idempotency, torn-line, append-survives-consume, absent-outbox no-op) · WakeSubscriptionService 83 passed (migration spec) · MCP guards 54 passed ·

5349317ff5.[ADDRESSED]RA — strict lock, no TTL, no fall-through. The borrowed WAL lock is replaced byai/daemons/wake/outboxLock.mjs: a live holder is never reclaimed (no TTL), acquisition retries to a bounded timeout and then throws — nothing ever writes unlocked. Reclaim happens only for a dead-pid holder, fenced by the byte-match re-read. The Memory-WAL helper keeps its never-fail semantics untouched, per your boundary. Your 2.6s probe is now a passing spec (consumer holds 2.6s, past the old TTL; producer waits, lands post-release, entry survives) in bothdaemon.spec.mjs(real-daemon interleave) andconsumeWakeOutbox.spec.mjs(protocol level), plus 4 lock-level contracts (outboxLock.spec.mjs: no-reclaim-of-live, dead-pid reclaim, timeout-throws, serialization).[ADDRESSED]RA — exact-owner validation at the consume boundary.consumeWakeOutboxnow loads the wake envelope as the seat authority and accepts an entry only when its{sessionId, processEpoch}matches the current owner exactly and that owner is alive. Session-mismatched and stale-epoch entries move to<outbox>.dead.jsonlwith reasons — never printed, never acked (both pinned as red-before-turned-green specs). A stale envelope owner refuses visibly instead of consuming for a rotated seat. Acks now correlate{wakeId, sessionId, processEpoch, consumedAt, pid}, tying the queued tuple to the owner process that consumed it.wakeId, the tightened OpenAPI clause (with its guard now asserting the new text — the red unit job you saw was that stale guard assertion, fixed ata120c224e3; the SourceRegistryService ordering flake in the same CI run is#15667's pre-existing defect, owned by #15715's lane, not this branch).Witnesses: wake-daemon 64 passed · consume 8 passed (incl. both dead-letter cases + the 2.6s no-reclaim hold) · outboxLock 4 passed · WakeSubscriptionService 83 passed · MCP guards 54 passed · preflight clean.

11e590000e.[ADDRESSED]RA — all three owner legs validated, reuse-safe. The wake envelope now records{agentIdentity, sessionId, pid, pidStartedAt}(SessionStart hook: identity from the seat env/.env, start time viaps lstart). Producer: a subscription identity that mismatches the seat's envelope identity refuses before any write, and the epoch check compares recorded start time against the live process — a pid whose number the OS reassigned fails (epoch mismatch). Consumer: validates all three legs against the live envelope authority before output or ack —identity-mismatch,session-mismatch, andstale-epocheach dead-letter with reasons (all three pinned as specs, including the reuse shape: same pid number, different start time). Your@different-seatprobe is now a dead-letter, and the reused-pid shape is named explicitly.[ADDRESSED]RA — truthful ack. Acks now carry exactly{wakeId, sessionId, processEpoch, consumedAt}— the validated owner tuple and nothing else. The arbitrary caller pid is gone. Additionally the consumer must run inside the owner's process tree (psparent-chain walk to the owner pid, ≤6 levels); yourpid 999999foreign caller now refuses visibly (not inside the owner process tree), spec-pinned.outboxLock.spec.mjs.wakeId— 64 daemon specs incl. the 2.6s no-reclaim race all still green.Witnesses: daemon 64 · consume 12 (all three dead-letter classes + reused/stale-envelope refusals + foreign caller) · outboxLock 5 · WakeSubscriptionService 83 · preflight clean.
