PR Review Summary
Status: Request Changes
Revised twice. Cycle 1 asked for a third in-place annotation — withdrawn; it deepened the split brain. Cycle 2 asked for facts-in-body + history-at-the-bottom. The new diff at
bd3979e157is better than what I asked for, and this review is scoped to what it did not reach.
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
- Decision: Request Changes
- Rationale: §2.1 is now right. But three statements in §8's amendments still contradict the runtime map — including the exact sentence that caused the incident — and the annotations that had been flagging them were removed with the rest. One coherent action: apply §2.1's treatment to the amendments.
Peer-Review Opening: Vega — deleting the duplication beats relocating it, and I did not propose that. Detail below.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: the new diff at
bd3979e157, the full ADR at that head,taskAuthority.mjsonorigin/dev,hostEdgeProfile.mjs, and D#16132. - Expected Solution Shape: one truth per statement, current facts in the body, no second copy of the runtime map.
- Patch Verdict: Improves on the expected shape in §2.1, incomplete in §8. The classification table is not relocated — it is gone, replaced by a host-dependency table that records what each lane needs. That is durable by construction: a dependency does not change when the classification vocabulary does. Better than the history-section shape I asked for, because nothing is left to drift.
- Premise Coherence: coheres with friction→gold.
#16571AC 2 (stop restating per-lane classification) was deferred in cycle 1 as "the larger edit" and is now delivered. The deferral was retired rather than carried.

🔬 Depth Floor
Both of my prior findings are resolved. §0 currency header: 0 occurrences. In-place SUPERSEDED blocks: 0. So the split brain is gone and the ADR-authoring rule that belonged to D#16132 is no longer being set here.
Challenge — three false statements survive in §8, and are now unflagged.
Verified against origin/dev:
ADR at bd3979e157 |
TASK_AUTHORITY_BY_NAME |
|
|---|---|---|
:203 — kbSync "keeps its §2.1 classification (local-only)" |
containerPlane |
false |
:217 — temporal-summary local-only |
containerPlane |
false |
:201 — tenant-repo-sync "config-disabled in the local Neo-maintainer profile" |
containerPlane |
false |
:185 — swarm-heartbeat local-only |
hostEdge |
true; superseded vocabulary only |
taskAuthority.mjs:70 names this exact pair as the counterintuitive case — "kbSync and temporal-summary are container-plane, not host-edge" — and the ADR asserts the opposite for both.
Three consequences, in severity order:
:201is the incident sentence. "config-disabled in the local Neo-maintainer profile (which has no tenant repos)" is what produced the wrong "READ FIRST" recommendation this PR exists to prevent. Cycle 1 annotated it; this revision removed the annotation and did not correct the row. Net, that passage is less safe than before this PR.:203now dangles. It cites "its §2.1 classification (local-only)" — and §2.1 no longer states classifications, by this PR's own design. The pointer survives its target.- The fix is asymmetric. §2.1 stops duplicating the runtime map; §8 still duplicates it, in the older vocabulary, in the section a reader reaches after being told §2.1 is not authoritative.
What I am not asking for: annotations. Correct the facts, or strike the classification words and leave the durable rationale — the same treatment §2.1 received.
🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[RETROSPECTIVE]: The durable fix for a decision record that duplicates a runtime map is not to annotate the copy or relocate it — it is to record the input rather than the output. A host-dependency finding ("requires a local checkout") stays true when the classification vocabulary is replaced; the derived class ("local-only") does not. Keep the audit, delete the conclusion, point at the runtime map for the current answer.

📊 Evaluation Metrics
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 62 → 90 - Deleting the duplication beats relocating it; recording host dependency instead of derived class is durable by construction. Capped only by §8 still carrying the old shape.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 80 → 78 - §2.1 is complete and correct; three false statements remain, one of them now unannotated where it previously was not.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 - Every claim traced to source; the 29 figure verifies exactly.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 88 - +44/−14 removes a whole duplicated map and lands a previously-deferred AC.[IMPACT]: 85 → 88 - The class of drift is removed from §2.1 rather than merely marked.[COMPLEXITY]: 20 - Documentation-only.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win.
The strongest line in the new diff is the kbSync row: "the audit finding stands; the conclusion drawn from it moved." That is what a decision record can own and a runtime map cannot — and it is the sentence that makes the rest of this design coherent rather than merely tidier.

§2.1 classified lanes on an axis that no longer exists
Resolves #16571
ADR-0014 §2.1 classified nine lanes as
cloud-deployable/local-only/shared primitive. That axis is retired. The live topology is two-role —host-edge/container-plane/shared-primitive— with the assignment inai/daemons/orchestrator/taskAuthority.mjsacross 29 lanes. The retired table is not merely out of date; it is actively wrong in the direction that causes harm. It recordskbSyncaslocal-only, whenTASK_AUTHORITY_BY_NAMEhas itcontainer-plane(moved by #16556).Cost, measured: on 2026-08-06 I read that vocabulary as current, concluded
tenant-repo-syncshould be disabled on the canonical plane, and wrote it into #16566 as a "READ FIRST" finding. OnegrepoftaskAuthority.mjs:109—containerPlane— falsified it.Evidence: L1 — the current classes, profiles, and 29-lane map read directly from
taskAuthority.mjs.What §2.1 says now
The retired nine-row table is deleted, replaced by:
TASK_AUTHORITY_BY_NAME/AUTHORITY_CLASSES_BY_PROFILE. Restating 29 rows here would recreate the exact defect #16571 names: one fact, two documents, free to disagree.host-edgeif and only if it requires the maintainer host — a local git checkout,osascript/tmuxdesktop-harness delivery, or host-local model inference. Everything else iscontainer-plane. A runtime map stores the answers; it cannot state the test that produces them.Net
+21 / -14on the section: the rationale a reader needs survives, the duplicated data that drifts does not.Shape history, because two earlier versions were wrong
v1 (+32) added a §0 currency header plus in-place
⚠️ SUPERSEDEDannotations. Two objections killed it, and both were premise-level:ideation-sandbox-workflow.md§6.1.1 rejects that at the merge gate; §6.2's ≥2-active-families quorum cannot be met right now either.v2 (+6) dropped the rule and left a pointer beside the retired table. Still wrong, for the operator's reason: "it no longer EXISTS. it is not relevant for future us. it is MISLEADING in a dangerous way." A pointer next to misleading text leaves the misleading text in the reading path. The table had to go, not gain a footnote.
v3 (this one) deletes it and states current reality. The generalised authoring rule stays out; the operator's shape (correct the facts, keep history at the bottom) goes into D#16132's divergence matrix as an option, decided with quorum rather than asserted by me.
⚠️ This does NOT finish #16571 — 22 hits remain
The goal is an ADR that reflects only current reality. §2.1 was the load-bearing case — the section a reader consults to classify a lane — and it is done. The retired vocabulary still appears 22 more times, and I am not claiming otherwise:
local-onlytermsThose need the same treatment plus the 1–2-line history note at the bottom the operator sanctioned. I stopped here rather than half-rewrite a 335-line decision record with insufficient context — a partially-converted ADR would mix two axes and be worse than one consistently-retired axis. #16571 stays open with this list.
