Resolves #16315

Ships the first spec witness for the agent-driven Neural Link perspective path on the Demo B workstation: capture_perspectivelist_perspectives → mutation via execute_dock_operationrestore_perspective (exact baseline dockZone.v1 equality including activeItemIds) → fail-closed restore of an unknown name (switched:false + structured error + live document untouched). The sibling DemoBPerspectivesNL.spec.mjs witnesses the app's own tour/store path; this spec is the first to drive the NL tools themselves — the seam the flagship-film screenplay automation rides (#15252 L2). All assertions read worker truth; the baseline is read live, so the spec pins the restore-fidelity contract rather than the demo's initial layout.

Evidence: local headed+GPU receipt and local headless receipts achieved (below) — these ARE the current-head evidence for the e2e surface: PR CI runs no whitebox-e2e job by design (verified on run 30724965992: unit / components / integration lanes only; e2e rides the nightly runner). Exact-head CI green is broader regression evidence, not an e2e gate. Residual: none for the close target — AC1 (live headed NL receipt) is discharged at #16315 issuecomment-5154028743, AC2 dissolved by evidence (below), AC4 (filmable cue sequence handoff) is posted on #15252 at issuecomment-5154135533.

Deltas from ticket

  • AC2 ("close the app-surface restore/list gap") dissolved by evidence mid-lane: the perspective-load tour cue (DemoBWorkspace.mjs:1414), loadPerspectiveByName (:1223), and switcher-bar restore (:4396) already existed in store vocabulary. The ticket body was corrected in place (issuecomment-5154088209). The PR therefore carries no app-code change — the residual was the spec witness only.

Test Evidence

  • New spec, headed: NEO_E2E_PORT=8117 npx playwright test agentos/DemoBPerspectiveToolsNL -c test/playwright/playwright.config.e2e.mjs --workers=1 --headed → 1 passed
  • Adjacent e2e surface, local headless (workers=1, same config): npx playwright test agentos/ -c test/playwright/playwright.config.e2e.mjs --workers=1 → 45 passed
  • Unit surface: npx playwright test unit/apps/agentos -c test/playwright/playwright.config.unit.mjs --workers=4 → 520 passed
  • Live NL receipt preceding the spec (headed, manual chain): #16315 issuecomment-5154028743

Post-Merge Validation

  • Nightly e2e runner green on the merged spec (whitebox e2e is nightly-only by design; PR CI carries no e2e job)

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: The patch adds the missing deterministic witness at the existing Neural Link boundary without changing the established ADR 0029 perspective contract or duplicating Demo B app machinery.

Peer-Review Opening: Nice recovery from the initial vocabulary miss: the correction removed the unnecessary app-code premise, and this focused spec now proves the actual agent-driven seam.


🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #16315; #15252; #14649 and its Contract Ledger; ADR 0029 §2.2; the changed-file list; current dev DemoBPerspectivesNL.spec.mjs; DockService bridge dispatch; and the whitebox fixture's identity-bound session contract.
  • Expected Solution Shape: One whitebox E2E spec should drive the existing capture/list/restore tools against the live Demo B worker, mutate through the public dock operation surface, prove exact restore from worker truth, and prove a failed restore leaves that truth unchanged. It must not add a parallel perspective implementation or hardcode the initial demo layout.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. DemoBPerspectiveToolsNL.spec.mjs uses the identity-bound session, calls the Neural Link service methods, reads its baseline live, compares the complete restored dockZone.v1 document including active-item state, and checks fail-closed no-mutation behavior.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and friction→gold: the earlier app-surface absence claim was corrected from live source evidence, while the residual became an executable witness rather than more architecture.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #16315
  • Related Graph Nodes: #15252, #14649, ADR 0029
  • Origin Session ID: 019fb600-58b9-7fa2-86a7-5a15e1ccf659

🔬 Depth Floor

Documented search: I actively traced session binding through connectToApp, tool dispatch through DockService/ConnectionService.call, complete restore equality including activeItemIds, baseline-vacuity protection, failed-restore no-mutation, and sibling test placement; I found no code concerns.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: framing matches what the diff substantiates after the CI-E2E wording correction
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: N/A — no production documentation or JSDoc changed
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A
  • Linked anchors: #14649 and ADR 0029 establish the exercised contract

Findings: Pass.


🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: None.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: Neo PR CI intentionally does not execute whitebox E2E; the PR now distinguishes author-run E2E receipts from exact-head CI regression evidence.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: A live-source correction narrowed the lane from speculative workstation wiring to the one missing artifact: an executable Neural Link contract witness.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #16315
  • #16315 is not epic-labeled

Findings: Pass.


📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • #16315 contains a Contract Ledger grounded in #14649 and ADR 0029
  • The test exercises that ledger without changing the contract

Findings: Pass.


🪜 Evidence Audit

  • The body identifies the achieved local headed+GPU and headless E2E receipts
  • The close-target behavioral witness is achieved; exact-head CI supplies broader regression evidence, not an E2E claim
  • No residual close-target AC remains
  • No evidence-class promotion remains after the body correction
  • No external deployment receipt is used as a merge gate

Findings: Pass.


N/A Audits — 📡 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: this test-only PR changes neither OpenAPI descriptions nor cross-skill/convention surfaces.


🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit

  • Execution evidence: exact-head required CI green at e7c792460c61357379d0ab649160755b4a10bc71; author receipts include 1 headed spec pass, 45 headless Agent OS E2E passes, and 520 unit passes
  • Reviewer falsifier: N/A — no named behavioral concern remained after tracing the runtime dispatch and assertions
  • Test location: pass — adjacent to the existing Demo B perspective whitebox spec

Findings: Pass.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 98 - Uses the established Neural Link and dock-perspective boundaries with no parallel machinery.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 98 - Covers capture, list, mutation, exact restore, and fail-closed no-mutation.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 98 - Deterministic live baseline and complete worker-truth comparisons avoid brittle layout assumptions.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 97 - Converts a film dependency into durable executable authority with one focused file.
  • [IMPACT]: 94 - Removes a key automation uncertainty for the flagship film lane.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 95 - Keeps orchestration readable despite the multi-step runtime chain.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Maintenance - A high-value contract witness over existing production surfaces.

Nice catch on the app-vocabulary correction, Phoebe. This is the narrower and stronger artifact.
