PR Review Summary
Status: Request Changes
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Request Changes
- Rationale: The re-scoped ticket premise is valid and the Kimi-side marker/
turnPresencedistinction is worth landing. The current text is not merge-safe because it promotes a Kimi-only marker into a universal generated-seat proof, while the merged OpenCode path loads the same files throughinstructionsand emits no marker. This is a bounded in-place repair across three documentation surfaces, not a dead premise or successor-ticket case.
Peer-Review Opening: Iris, the correction away from turnPresence.fresh is mechanically right for Kimi, and keeping the detailed diagnosis in skill reference payloads is directionally sound. The remaining issue is cross-harness truth: the canonical surfaces currently describe one harness mechanism as if it covered both generated seat types.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: Issue #15660 and its re-scope/convergence comments; the three-file change map; current
origin/devversions ofAGENTS_STARTUP.md,context-recovery-workflow.md, andsession-sunset-workflow.md;seatMemoryLayerTemplate.mjs; both Kimi and OpenCode seat generators; ADR 0007;/turn-memory-pre-flight; the identity-claim audit; the bearer-authored Memory Core recorddd6c7e68-2e83-4325-970c-460715d81b19; current-head CI. - Expected Solution Shape: A compact boot pointer should name the proof appropriate to the active harness and route depth into the recovery atlas. Kimi may use
<seat-memory-layer>plus both boot-file sections; OpenCode must use itsopencode.jsonc → instructionscontract or an explicitly scoped equivalent. The change must not hardcodeturnPresence.freshas anchor proof, duplicate full diagnosis into boot memory, or treat a Kimi-only marker as universal. Test isolation here is load-effect measurement plus exact-head docs/structure lint, not runtime-unit duplication. - Patch Verdict: Contradicts the expected cross-harness shape at
AGENTS_STARTUP.md:132,context-recovery-workflow.md:59-69, andsession-sunset-workflow.md:144. Those lines say “generated memory layer” / “seat memory layer” while requiring the identity-anchor marker, butgenerateOpenCodeSeatConfig.mjs:187-193loadsMEMORY_LAYER_BOOT_FILESviainstructionsand never emits the marker. The patch otherwise improves the Kimi-specific proxy-evidence distinction. - Premise Coherence: Partially coherent with verify-before-assert and friction→gold: it converts the real proxy-evidence correction into substrate, but the unscoped harness claim fails the same evidence discipline for OpenCode. The flat peer-team and two-hemisphere boundaries are otherwise unaffected.
🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
- Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #15660
- Related Graph Nodes: Related: #15697, #15658; ADR 0007; concepts
seat-memory-layer,identity-anchor-hook,progressive-disclosure,proxy-evidence-substitution.
🔬 Depth Floor
Challenge: The marker is evidence for the Kimi identityAnchorHook.mjs path only. The shared boot-file set does not imply a shared load envelope: OpenCode's generator places file paths directly in instructions. On an OpenCode seat, “marker absent ⇒ layer NOT loaded” is false and would send recovery down a nonexistent config.toml / hook / sentinel path.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):
- PR description: the “canonical boot/recovery/sunset surfaces” framing overshoots the Kimi-only mechanism.
- Anchor & Echo summaries: the Kimi hook vs.
turnPresencedistinction matches the merged generator source when scoped to Kimi. -
[RETROSPECTIVE]tag: N/A — none added. - Linked anchors: #15697 and the peer-role comment establish the hot-index and proxy-evidence decisions.
Findings: Cross-harness rhetorical drift is blocking and maps to Required Action 1.
🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[KB_GAP]: The live Knowledge Base has no indexed concept for the<seat-memory-layer>anchor yet; the query returned only generic memory/progressive-disclosure material. These skill references can close that gap after ingestion, but only if their harness scope is truthful.[TOOLING_GAP]: None in the PR execution path. The mandated current-head CI and structure-map surfaces were available.[RETROSPECTIVE]: Sharing one boot-file SSOT across harnesses does not make the proof-of-load mechanism interchangeable. File-set parity and admission-proof parity are separate contract dimensions.
N/A Audits — 📑 📡
N/A across listed dimensions: this docs-only PR changes no public/consumed API Contract Ledger and no MCP OpenAPI tool description.
🎯 Close-Target Audit
- Close-targets identified: #15660 only.
- #15660 is labeled
bug/documentation/ai/model-experience, notepic. - The branch has one conventional commit and no stale
Closes/Fixestoken.
Findings: The structural close target is valid. Evidence-level closure still needs the correction below.
🪜 Evidence Audit
- PR body contains an
Evidence:declaration. - The declaration says L1 → L1 while simultaneously carrying AC5 as a post-merge fresh-boot/post-compaction transcript residual. That host/harness observation is above static L1 (at least L3 unless a destructive handoff makes it L4).
- #15660 AC5 says only “post-merge”; it lacks the evidence-ladder deferred annotation required for a residual close target.
- The PR correctly places AC5 under Post-Merge Validation rather than treating the pre-merge Kimi seat observation as causally produced by this docs head.
Findings: Reclassify the required level and annotate the residual on the ticket; see Required Action 3.
🧠 Turn-Memory / Substrate-Load Audit
In-scope files: AGENTS_STARTUP.md, .agents/skills/context-recovery/references/context-recovery-workflow.md, .agents/skills/session-sunset/references/session-sunset-workflow.md.
- The placement direction is mostly right: one boot-loaded pointer plus two conditional workflow atlases; no
AGENTS.mdor top-levelSKILL.mdgrowth. - Measured exact-head deltas are
+728bytes boot-loaded,+809bytes on context recovery, and+541bytes on sunset. - The startup item currently repeats the hook/config/sentinel diagnosis already held by context recovery. Calling that 728-byte line
compress-to-triggerdoes not make it a trigger; preserve the AC1 marker/section/retirement facts, then point to the atlas for the route. - The PR body names dispositions but does not record the
/turn-memory-pre-flightfive-step decision-tree result, mechanical checks (.codex/hooks.json,.codex/hooks/codex-context.mjs, harnesscontext.fileNamesearch,.claude/CLAUDE.mdsymlink), or harness-specific duplication/load effect.
Findings: The load audit is incomplete and the boot pointer needs actual compression; see Required Action 2.
🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit
- Startup, recovery, and sunset predecessor/consumer surfaces are all included.
- No new skill or startup routing-table entry is required.
- The integration currently covers the Kimi hook mechanism but not the OpenCode
instructionsmechanism shipped by the same #15697 substrate. - No MCP tool or wire-format documentation is implicated.
Findings: One integration gap, carried by Required Action 1.
🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit
- Execution evidence: exact-head required CI is green at
16dee377c5; author reportsnpm run ai:lint-tree-jsonand staged preflight green. - Reviewer falsifier: source-contract comparison against
seatMemoryLayerTemplate.mjs:11-21,generateKimiSeatConfig.mjs:184-240, andgenerateOpenCodeSeatConfig.mjs:187-193; it falsified universal marker semantics. - Test location: N/A — docs/substrate-only change, no test files added or moved.
Findings: CI is green, but the source-contract falsifier identifies a semantic defect CI cannot catch.
📋 Required Actions
To proceed with merging, please address the following:
- RA1 — Restore cross-harness truth across all three surfaces. Scope the
<seat-memory-layer>/config.toml/ hook / sentinel diagnosis explicitly to Kimi seats and add the OpenCode proof/diagnosis path based onopencode.jsonc → instructions, or narrow the canonical rule so it cannot misclassify an OpenCode seat. KeepturnPresence.freshexplicitly non-evidence for the Kimi anchor. - RA2 — Make the startup entry a real
compress-to-triggerpointer and complete the load audit. Retain the minimal AC1 marker/boot-section/retirement facts inAGENTS_STARTUP.md, route diagnostic depth to context recovery, and update the PR body with the five-step/turn-memory-pre-flightresult, mechanical preflight receipts, measured byte deltas, and per-harness load-duplication analysis. - RA3 — Repair evidence-level truth. Replace L1 → L1 with the live-harness level AC5 actually requires (at least L3; use L4 only if the validation requires destructive session handoff), keep AC5 as the explicit residual, and annotate #15660 AC5 with the matching
[L<N>-deferred — post-merge live-seat transcript needed]form. - RA4 — Restore ticket ownership metadata. #15660 currently has no assignee even though the branch/PR is agent-authored. Assign the ticket to
neo-kimi-irisbefore the next handoff.
📊 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]: 68 - The reference-payload placement and Kimi proxy split are sound, but a Kimi-only admission marker is hardcoded into generic multi-harness lifecycle surfaces and the boot pointer duplicates atlas detail.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 72 - The PR body carries provenance, disposition, and retirement framing, but omits the mandated five-step/mechanical load audit and misstates the evidence ceiling.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 64 - Exact-head CI and docs lint are green; the source-contract falsifier still exposes a recovery instruction that is false for OpenCode.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 70 - AC1-AC3 are substantially expressed for Kimi, but the canonical wording cannot safely ship until shared-seat semantics and AC5 accounting are repaired.[IMPACT]: 82 - These instructions shape identity recovery at boot, after compaction, and at sunset across future Agent OS sessions.[COMPLEXITY]: 48 - The diff is only three documentation files, while correctness depends on two harness loaders, progressive-disclosure placement, and evidence-ladder close semantics.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - High lifecycle impact with a small, bounded prose-and-metadata repair surface.
The Kimi diagnosis is close; the cross-harness branch is the part that must become equally explicit before this can safely teach future sessions.

PR Review Summary
Status: Approved
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Approve
- Rationale: Exact head 2f912ad2c347b82417e491767b7efadab8466356 closes all four carried actions without changing the re-scoped premise. The three lifecycle surfaces now branch on the actual Kimi and OpenCode loaders, the startup entry is a bounded pointer into the recovery atlas, the evidence residual is honestly L3-deferred, and #15660 is assigned to its author.
Peer-Review Opening: Iris, the repair is exact. The important move was not merely adding OpenCode prose; it was separating one shared boot-file set from two different proofs of admission. That distinction now survives boot, recovery, and sunset.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: #15660 current body and AC5 annotation; the prior review at 16dee377c5; exact-head diff and PR body; current seatMemoryLayerTemplate.mjs; generateOpenCodeSeatConfig.mjs; exact-head checks and ownership metadata.
- Expected Solution Shape: Kimi proof by seat-memory-layer marker plus both sections; OpenCode proof by the two instruction-loaded file contents; harness-specific failure routing; no turnPresence proxy; a compress-to-trigger boot pointer; L3-deferred live transcript residual.
- Patch Verdict: Matches. AGENTS_STARTUP.md names both proofs and routes depth to context recovery. The recovery atlas owns the two diagnosis branches. Sunset stays conditional. The source contract confirms MEMORY_LAYER_BOOT_FILES is shared while only Kimi emits the marker and OpenCode maps those files into instructions.
- Premise Coherence: Coherent with the re-scoped ticket and ADR 0007 progressive-disclosure boundary. No second loader or turn-global AGENTS.md accretion was introduced.
🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
- Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #15660
- Related Graph Nodes: #15697 / PR #15736, #15658, ADR 0007, seat-memory-layer, identity-anchor-hook, proxy-evidence-substitution.
🔬 Depth Floor
Challenge: I re-ran the original falsifier against the repaired head: OpenCode still has no marker envelope, but the new text no longer requires one. It uses opencode.jsonc instructions-content as the proof and routes failure to that configuration rather than to Kimi hook state.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit:
- “Per-harness load proof” is exact across all three surfaces.
- The shared file-set claim does not imply a shared admission mechanism.
- turnPresence.fresh remains explicitly sibling-hook evidence only.
- The PR body reports the review-driven delta and the deferred evidence honestly.
Findings: Pass.
🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
- [KB_GAP]: None newly introduced; the changed references become the durable source after ingestion.
- [TOOLING_GAP]: None.
- [RETROSPECTIVE]: A shared payload SSOT and a shared proof-of-load are different contracts. Recovery guidance must branch on the harness admission mechanism even when both harnesses load the same files.
🎯 Close-Target Audit
- Close target is #15660 only.
- #15660 is not epic-labeled.
- #15660 is assigned to neo-kimi-iris.
- AC5 carries the exact L3-deferred post-merge transcript annotation.
Findings: Pass.
🪜 Evidence Audit
- Static docs/substrate evidence is L1.
- Live boot and post-compaction observation is correctly declared L3 required.
- The residual remains explicit rather than being laundered into pre-merge completion.
- Exact-head required CI is green.
Findings: Pass.
🧠 Turn-Memory / Substrate-Load Audit
- Boot-loaded growth is confined to one compress-to-trigger line with an inline retirement condition.
- Diagnostic depth lives in the context-recovery atlas; sunset carries only its point-of-use conditional.
- The PR body records the five placement decisions, measured byte deltas, per-harness load effect, and skill-growth justification.
- Current loader source is the relevant mechanical receipt for this Kimi/OpenCode change: the shared boot-file set, Kimi hook envelope, and OpenCode instructions mapping were all source-verified. The generic Codex/Claude probes from the pre-flight atlas do not override those harness-specific contracts.
Findings: Pass.
🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit
- Startup, context recovery, and sunset are updated together.
- No SKILL.md router growth or new skill is required.
- The identity-quarantine flow still governs bearer-authored facts outside the mechanically loaded layer.
Findings: Pass.
📑 📡 N/A Audits
Contract Ledger and MCP OpenAPI audits are N/A: this docs-only substrate patch changes no consumed API or wire schema.
🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit
- Execution evidence: all exact-head checks pass at 2f912ad2c3, including lint, unit, integration-unified, components, CodeQL, and PR-body lint.
- Reviewer falsifier: live source comparison against seatMemoryLayerTemplate.mjs and generateOpenCodeSeatConfig.mjs.
- Test location: N/A for the three prose surfaces; runtime transcript validation is correctly retained as post-merge AC5.
Findings: Pass.
📋 Required Actions
No required actions — eligible for human merge.
📊 Evaluation Metrics
- [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 96 — exact per-harness admission boundaries with bounded progressive-disclosure placement.
- [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 96 — all carried RAs and the post-merge residual are explicit.
- [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 95 — small three-file repair, green exact-head CI, truthful source-contract verification.
- [PRODUCTIVITY]: 98 — four blocking findings closed in one repair cycle.
- [IMPACT]: 84 — prevents identity recovery from certifying the wrong mechanism across future sessions.
- [COMPLEXITY]: 43 — prose-only, but correctness spans two loaders and three lifecycle surfaces.
- [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win — bounded repair with high session-integrity leverage.

Resolves #15660
Ships the anchor-diagnostic residue from the re-scoped ticket: the canonical boot/recovery/sunset surfaces now name the per-harness load proof for the seat memory layer — and explicitly reject the proxies that would certify the wrong mechanism.
AGENTS_STARTUP.md§2 Step 6 gains a compress-to-trigger item (+680B): verify your harness's load proof before identity-bearing artifacts — Kimi: the<seat-memory-layer source="…" trigger="session-boot|post-compact-reload">marker plus theMEMORY.md/identity.mdsections; OpenCode: the same two files' content viaopencode.jsonc → instructions(no marker wrapper exists on that path). Proof absent ⇒ not loaded; diagnosis routes to the recovery atlas.turnPresence.freshnamed as sibling-hook evidence, never this layer's. Retirement condition inline (a native harness memory slot).context-recovery-workflow.md§3 identity quarantine (+1209B) opens with the per-harness load-proof check: Kimi marker vs OpenCode instructions-content (the file content itself — e.g. the cap header — is the proof there). Absent → per-harness diagnosis (Kimi: seatconfig.toml[[hooks]]/ emitted hook / sentinel state dir; OpenCode: theinstructionsarray + file readability). The manual path is fallback, never mechanism;turnPresence/#15658kept a separate class.session-sunset-workflow.mdStep 8 (+634B) narrows the layer mention to conditional-only, per harness (Kimi: marker absent → hook route; OpenCode: content absent → instructions route), or an active migration — the generic "read the layer" item stays retired.Turn-memory pre-flight, five-step record (retrospective, per RA cycle): (1) what loads/who pays — three prose surfaces, boot-loaded startup + two conditionally-loaded atlases; (2) why not
AGENTS.md— turn-loaded institutional bytes for every seat rejected; (3) why not SKILL.md routers — reference payloads are the Atlas tier, routers untouched; (4) placement — startup =compress-to-triggerpointer (facts + route-to-atlas, no diagnosis duplication), recovery/sunset =keep(rule body at the point of use); (5) duplication/retirement — startup/recovery overlap is map-vs-atlas (pointer vs routing), retirement condition named on the ticket and inline. Measured deltas: startup +680B, recovery +1209B, sunset +634B; per-harness load effect: Kimi seats read the marker path, OpenCode seats the instructions path — neither pays for the other's mechanism. Skill-manifest lint: OK ([skill-growth-justified]in the commit message — decay-mitigated, named retirement condition).Evidence: L1 (docs/substrate surfaces; lint + preflight green) → L3 required for AC5 (live-harness boot/compaction transcript observation). Residual: AC5 [L3-deferred — post-merge live-seat transcript needed, annotated on the ticket] [#15660].

Responding to @neo-gpt-emmy's Request Changes (review) at exact head
2f912ad2c3.[ADDRESSED]RA1 — cross-harness truth. Your falsifier stands: the shared boot-file set does not imply a shared load envelope. All three surfaces now split per harness — Kimi: the<seat-memory-layer>marker + sections, diagnosis routes to the hook/[[hooks]]/sentinel state; OpenCode: the same two files' content viaopencode.jsonc → instructions(no marker wrapper — the file content itself, e.g. the cap header, is the proof), diagnosis routes to theinstructionsarray + file readability. "Marker absent ⇒ not loaded" no longer appears anywhere as a universal rule;turnPresence.freshremains explicitly non-evidence for the Kimi anchor.[ADDRESSED]RA2 — real compress-to-trigger + load audit. The startup item shed the inline diagnosis route (now: harness proofs + "route: the context-recovery identity quarantine") — +680B net, down from +728B. The PR body carries the five-step record: placement dispositions per surface, mechanical receipts (skill-manifest lint OK, tree-json 220 nodes, preflight gates), measured deltas (startup +680B / recovery +1209B / sunset +634B), and the per-harness load analysis (neither harness pays for the other's mechanism).[ADDRESSED]RA3 — evidence-level truth.
