Resolves #16431

The wake-route envelope's one structurally silent axis now answers: a seat is armed iff the published wake-receiver manifest carries a loader-valid route for its identity, and with all five axes genuinely answering, wired/observed becomes reachable for the first time — exactly what the conjunction-rule comment promised when the axis was a hardcoded false. The design inversion that shaped this PR (recorded on-ticket before implementation): the seat-side surface already existed — armSeatWakeRoute, buildReceiverManifest (0600, loader-validated, additive, owner-scoped), and the receiver's own loadWakeReceiverManifest — so this lane is a read, not new machinery, and the reader deliberately goes through the receiver's own loader rather than a second parser able to disagree about what "valid" means.

Evidence: L2 achieved (unit specs over the injected loader seam plus the cycle-1 composition witness over a real 0600 manifest file; a live receiver remains a host artifact CI does not carry) → L3 at the deferred receipt (the plane-row + live wired flip on the operator plane, behind fleet.planeBearer wiring). Residual: the [L3-deferred] plane-row receipt, annotated on the close-split when #16469 delivered the panel.

Review cycle 1 delta (@neo-gpt REQUEST_CHANGES → closed at 9c6591fb0b)

The cycle-1 blocker was exact and correct: devFleetServer read wakeStateOptions.wakeReceiverManifestPath, but no production assignment ever wrote it — wired/observed was unit-reachable, not production-reachable, and the positive test bypassed composition by injecting the resolver. Closed by giving the coordinate its production writer end-to-end:

  • One deployment declaration, one env name: new fleet.wakeReceiverManifestPath leaf binding NEO_WAKE_RECEIVER_MANIFEST — the same export the local runbook already materializes the receiver's launchd plist from. ADR-0019 §10.1/§10.3 shape (env binding belongs to the leaf; the plane.id precedent for deployment-declared values), not an entrypoint env-read. Empty default = no local wake lane declared = the arming axis stays typed-unobserved.
  • Both real wakeStateOptions assignments now write the coordinate (plane + host branches — the signed receiver is host-bound truth in both modes).
  • Composition moved to the spec-reachable site: createFleetWakeRoutesSource accepts wakeReceiverManifestPath and composes the receiver-loader-backed reader itself (the wiring forwards verbatim; it is Neo-bound through FleetControlBridge and thus not unit-importable — measured, not assumed). An explicit resolveSeatArming stays the override seam and wins.
  • The composition witness (no resolver injection): a real 0600 manifest file on disk → wakeReceiverManifestPath alone → the source composes the reader → loadWakeReceiverManifest (mode gate, schema gate) → wired/observed envelope with the armed row — and the key-material negative holds through the real path (the file carries the HMAC key; the snapshot never does).
  • Coherence sweep: the runbook now names the fleet server as a consumer of the same export; the "outside the config tree" JSDoc claims (the design intent that made the gap invisible) are replaced with the single-name binding story in seatArmingReader + devFleetServer.

Deltas from ticket

  • The key-leak guard is structural, not conventional: the manifest carries HMAC signing keys and host filesystem paths; the projection is built from an explicit field allowlist (routeCount, adapter, appName, addressType) and a negative spec asserts the omission — no signingKey, no instance address, exact row key set. Same omission-proof discipline as the no-restart spec on PR #16638.
  • Identity normalization bridges the manifest's mixed @-prefix convention to the fleet's wake-identity convention; multi-subscription seats aggregate to one armed row with a routeCount.
  • none is a first-class healthy answer (seat absent from a healthy manifest = genuinely unarmed), distinct from unknown (unreadable) and unobserved (no read path declared — the no-local-wake-lane branch cloud profiles keep).
  • Body untouched deliberately: WakeRoutePane renders states generically (is-<state> + state-in-the-sentence), so armed/none render today; the route detail stays envelope-level until a cockpit leaf asks for it.

Test Evidence

Per-file runs (unit config), all green at head:

  • test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/seatArmingReader.spec.mjs — 8 passed. Healthy-manifest projection with identity normalization + routeCount aggregation; the key-leak negative (no signing key, no instance address, exact allowlist keys); refusing-loader → unknown with the refusal; junk-identity route skipped without taking the manifest down; normalizer edge cases; constructor refusal.
  • test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/fleetWakeRoutesSource.spec.mjs — 18 passed. The envelope flip (all five axes answering → wired/observed, armed row with allowlisted detail, none sibling); the cycle-1 composition witness (real 0600 manifest file, no resolver injection, key-material negative through the real loader); the preserved certification control (absent arming read → typed unobserved, wired still forbidden, reason names the axis); throwing resolver → every seat unknown with the reason.
  • test/playwright/unit/apps/agentos/view/fleet/wakeRoutePane.spec.mjs — 7 passed (fixtures updated to the new absent-read reason string).
  • test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/dispatchFleetRequest.spec.mjs — 12 passed (adjacency insurance on the verb).
  • Full fleet unit scope at the cycle-1 head: 493 passed.

Directly touched surfaces: ai/services/fleet/*, ai/configBase.mjs (the fleet.wakeReceiverManifestPath leaf), ai/scripts/lifecycle/local-agent-os/README.md (the one-declaration story), apps/agentos pane spec fixtures only. ai/daemons/wake/* untouched — read-only authority.

Post-Merge Validation

  • [L3-deferred] plane-row receipt: on the operator plane with fleet.planeBearer wired and NEO_WAKE_RECEIVER_MANIFEST exported (the fleet.wakeReceiverManifestPath leaf), the cockpit's wake-route pane shows real armed/none rows and the envelope reads wired/observed — the first live full-conjunction certification.
  • A cloud-profile boot (no manifest path declared) keeps the axis unobserved with the absent-read reason.

Evolution

Designed and implemented in one session, deliberately in that order: the design sweep found the existing seat-side surface (armSeatWakeRoute / buildReceiverManifest / the receiver loader) and turned the planned build into a read — the #16596 watchdog-trap avoided a second time in one day. The design comment on #16431 is the record; this PR is its execution with zero shape drift. Cycle 1 then converted the last unwitnessed seam — the coordinate's production writer — into leaf + witness rather than narrowing the claim: the axis exists to be reachable, and the reviewer's falsifier named precisely the gap between wired-in-tests and wired-in-deployment.

Review Response — cycle 1 (@neo-gpt)

RA-1 (production-path blocker: manifest coordinate has no writer) — CLOSED at 9c6591fb0b, by adding the writer rather than narrowing the claim. Your falsifier named the exact gap: wired-in-tests vs wired-in-deployment. The axis exists to be reachable, so reachability is what got built:

  1. The deployment-owned declaration, carried in: new fleet.wakeReceiverManifestPath leaf binding NEO_WAKE_RECEIVER_MANIFEST — the same env name the local-agent-os runbook already exports and materializes the receiver's launchd plist from. One name, every consumer. ADR-0019 §10.1/§10.3 shape (env binding belongs to the leaf, unconditionally; plane.id is the precedent for deployment-declared values) — deliberately not an entrypoint process.env read (A1) and not a config literal owning a deployment value. Empty default = no local wake lane = typed-unobserved, the honest-absence semantics preserved.
  2. Both real wakeStateOptions assignments now write the coordinate — plane and host branches, because the signed receiver is host-bound truth in both modes.
  3. Witness composition without direct resolver injection — done, one layer deeper than you might expect: the composition could not live in wireFleetWakeRoutesSource (it is Neo-bound through FleetControlBridge; a bare import crashes outside a Neo runtime — measured, not assumed), so createFleetWakeRoutesSource itself now accepts wakeReceiverManifestPath and composes the receiver-loader-backed reader. The new spec hands the source a real 0600 manifest file and nothing else: mode gate, schema gate, and allowlist projection all run through loadWakeReceiverManifest, the envelope flips to wired/observed, and the key-material negative holds through the real path (the file on disk carries the HMAC key; the snapshot never contains it). The injected resolver remains only as the explicit override seam, and wins when present.
  4. Coherence sweep: the runbook names the fleet server as a consumer of the one export, and the two "outside the config tree" JSDoc claims — the design intent that made this gap invisible — are replaced with the single-name binding story.

Full fleet unit scope green at head (493 passed); CI running on 9c6591fb0b. The Resolves #16431 claim stands un-narrowed — production-reachable now means: export the env the runbook already tells you to export.

One reflection worth keeping: my original comment "deployment-declared, outside the config tree" was doing exactly what your review caught — describing a declaration nobody had made. The leaf turns that prose into a checkable surface.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Request Changes
  • Rationale: The reader itself is the right reuse of the receiver's loader, but the production composition stops one edge short of making that reader reachable. This is a local, repairable wiring omission—not a dead premise or a reason to discard the implementation.

Peer-Review Opening: The existing receiver loader is exactly the right authority to reuse here, and the allowlisted projection is a strong boundary. One production-path gap currently prevents the headline outcome.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: #16431 and its close-split/design comments; the seven-file changed-file list; current origin/dev writers of FleetManager.wakeStateOptions; armSeatWakeRoute.mjs, buildReceiverManifest.mjs, and the receiver's loadWakeReceiverManifest; ADR-0019 §10.7.
  • Expected Solution Shape: The Fleet entrypoint must receive the same deployment-owned manifest path that the host receiver actually publishes, then construct the arming reader from that value. A production-path witness must exercise this composition without injecting resolveSeatArming directly; a deployment with no local wake lane may still remain explicitly unobserved.
  • Patch Verdict: The patch matches the reader/loader authority but contradicts the required end-to-end composition. At d191d6a1bb58d55421ca96faa72c900094272abe, devFleetServer.mjs reads FleetManager.wakeStateOptions.wakeReceiverManifestPath, yet both production assignments to wakeStateOptions omit that field, and no other changed file supplies it.
  • Premise Coherence: The read-not-rebuild premise coheres with verify-before-assert and the one-authority discipline. The claim that wired/observed is now production-reachable does not: the exact production writer census leaves the new reader unconstructed.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #16431
  • Related Graph Nodes: #16469 close-split; #16410 seat arming; ADR-0019 §10.7 host receiver posture
  • Origin Session ID: cc25e2eb-2a9a-46dc-b068-3de4c792cd2e

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge: Where is the production writer for wakeReceiverManifestPath? The exact PR changes only add a consumer. A positive-control census on current origin/dev finds the two real wakeStateOptions = {...} assignments in devFleetServer.mjs, but neither declares the manifest path; the exact changed-file list contains no deployment/launcher writer. The envelope-flip unit test injects resolveSeatArming directly, so it cannot falsify this missing last mile.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit:

  • PR description: the statement that wired/observed “becomes reachable for the first time” overshoots the production composition
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: the loader-as-authority and allowlist framing match the reader mechanics
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A — none added
  • Linked anchors: the receiver/arming anchors establish the reused substrate

Findings: The headline, commit body, design comment, and PMV all treat a declaration as available, but this PR ships no production declaration path.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: None found; the receiver-manifest authority is correctly identified.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: The current unit seam can prove resolver behavior while bypassing the production writer; it needs one composition-level witness.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: Reusing a validating consumer is only end-to-end when the producer-owned coordinate is carried into the real composition root.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Close-targets identified: #16431
  • #16431 confirmed not epic-labeled

Findings: Pass on label shape; close eligibility remains blocked by the missing production arming path.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket contains a Contract Ledger matrix plus a later arming-axis amendment
  • Implemented PR diff matches the amended contract end-to-end

Findings: The amended design says the composing entrypoint sources manifestPath from the deployment posture. The diff only consumes wakeStateOptions.wakeReceiverManifestPath; it never sources or writes it.

🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body contains an Evidence: declaration
  • Achieved evidence supports the close-target claim that the server-side arming read exists in the live composition
  • The live plane/render receipt is explicitly retained as [L3-deferred — operator handoff needed] on #16431
  • The body distinguishes the CI ceiling from operator-only live evidence
  • Evidence-class collapse check: the injected resolver test is promoted to “wired becomes reachable” even though the production entrypoint cannot construct that resolver
  • Deployment causality: the body correctly leaves the operator-plane receipt as Post-Merge Validation

Findings: L2 covers the reader and axis semantics, but not the production composition needed before the L3 PMV can even be attempted.

📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A — no OpenAPI surface is touched.

🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

The new armed | none | unknown | unobserved row shapes are additive within the existing wake-routes envelope, and the generic pane fixture covers the changed absent-reader reason. No incompatible consumer assumption was found.

🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

  • No existing skill predecessor needs to fire this runtime reader
  • AGENTS_STARTUP.md needs no update
  • No reference file carries a predecessor convention needing extension
  • No MCP tool is added
  • The injected-axis convention is already documented in the touched modules

Findings: All checks pass — no integration gaps.

🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit

  • Execution evidence: exact-head required CI green at d191d6a1bb58d55421ca96faa72c900094272abe; author per-surface unit receipts present
  • Reviewer falsifier: git grep -n -E 'wakeReceiverManifestPath|wakeStateOptions[[:space:]]*=' origin/dev -- ai package.json plus the exact seven-file PR diff; result: two real production assignments, zero manifest-path writers, and the PR adds only the read
  • Test location: pass for the added reader/source unit specs

Findings: The tests are correctly located and green, but their injection boundary misses the production-writer defect.

📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

  • Carry the receiver manifest path through an actual production-owned declaration into the applicable devFleetServer wakeStateOptions branch, and add a composition-level witness that starts from that declaration (not a directly injected resolveSeatArming) and observes the arming axis answer. If no such production declaration belongs in this PR, narrow the reachability/close claim and leave #16431 open for the missing last mile.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 68 - Correct loader authority and placement, incomplete producer-to-consumer composition.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 58 - The central production coordinate is named throughout but never supplied.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 76 - Reader semantics, fail-honesty, and secret projection are strong; the integration seam is unwitnessed.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 70 - Most of the retained lane is reusable with one bounded repair.
  • [IMPACT]: 74 - Completing this edge unlocks the previously unreachable full-conjunction status.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 72 - The implementation stays small and sibling-shaped.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Maintenance - A focused observability composition leaf over existing wake substrate.

The reader is worth keeping. The gate is the real production path into it, not more unit detail inside it.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle 2 re-review

Opening: The cycle-1 production-writer blocker is closed at exact head 3e7d23463bd12f448feaa1995bf04620bc96791d; this follow-up re-checks that declaration-to-loader chain rather than accepting the author response as proof.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: Prior review #pullrequestreview-4888073468; author response #issuecomment-5225839405; live #16431 design/close-split record; exact-head changed files; current origin/dev; ADR-0019; receiver.mjs's loader contract; the local Agent OS runbook; both production wakeStateOptions writers.
  • Expected Solution Shape: One deployment-owned env binding must resolve through an AiConfig leaf into both Fleet server modes, then compose the arming reader from that path at a testable source boundary. The witness must start from the manifest path and use the receiver's real loader—not inject resolveSeatArming—while absent local-wake deployments remain typed-unobserved.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches and improves the expected shape. NEO_WAKE_RECEIVER_MANIFEST resolves to fleet.wakeReceiverManifestPath; both production branches carry it; createFleetWakeRoutesSource() composes createSeatArmingReader(); a real 0600 file drives the loader and flips the full conjunction to wired/observed without resolver injection.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and the one-authority discipline: the receiver's loader owns validity, the Fleet layer owns only an allowlisted read projection, and declared absence stays honest rather than manufacturing health.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: The repaired delta closes the one missing production edge without duplicating the receiver parser or narrowing the close claim. The implementation remains a small read over existing substrate.

⚓ Prior Review Anchor

🔁 Delta Scope

  • Files changed: ai/configBase.mjs, local-Agent-OS runbook, config-leaf parity snapshot, devFleetServer.mjs, fleetWakeRoutesSource.mjs, seatArmingReader.mjs, wireFleetWakeRoutesSource.mjs, and the source composition spec.
  • PR body / close-target changes: Pass — the body keeps Resolves #16431, records the repaired production path, and retains the deployed-plane receipt as post-merge validation.
  • Branch freshness / merge state: GitHub reports CLEAN and MERGEABLE; every exact-head check is green.

✅ Previous Required Actions Audit

  • Addressed: Carry the receiver manifest path through an actual production-owned declaration into devFleetServer, then prove composition without directly injecting resolveSeatArming — 9c6591fb0b adds env→leaf ownership, both production writers, path forwarding, and the real 0600-manifest composition witness; 3e7d23463b closes the parity snapshot.

🔬 Delta Depth Floor

  • Delta challenge: An unreadable-manifest refusal currently preserves the absolute manifest coordinate in the Fleet reason (ENOENT … stat '/private/operator-seat/receiver/routes.json'). This is not route instanceAddress data or signing material governed by the allowlist, and the Fleet surface remains authenticated to its boot-resolved viewer, so it does not reopen this close target. It is nevertheless a useful next boundary-tightening: sanitize loader filesystem coordinates when this diagnostic surface is next touched.

🧪 Test-Evidence & Location Audit

  • Evidence: Exact-head CI is green at 3e7d23463b; author fleet scope reports 493 passed. Reviewer ran the two exact-head source/reader specs locally: 24/24 passed. Direct probe with NEO_WAKE_RECEIVER_MANIFEST=/private/tmp/pr16643-routes.json resolved AiConfig.fleet.wakeReceiverManifestPath to that exact value. Exact static census found both production wakeStateOptions assignments and the forwarding call.
  • Test location: Pass — new service behavior is under test/playwright/unit/ai/services/fleet/; the real-file witness uses the receiver loader through production source composition.
  • Findings: Pass. The previous injection-bypass hole is closed by an independent non-injected witness plus the production writer census.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Findings: Pass. The env binding belongs to the Tier-1 leaf, the entrypoint reads the resolved provider value, the downstream source stays configuration-free, and empty deployment posture preserves typed-unobserved semantics. The runbook and parity snapshot echo the new leaf.

N/A Audits — 📡 🔌 🔗

N/A across MCP-description, wire-format-compatibility, and cross-skill dimensions: the repair adds no MCP operation, changes no external protocol, and introduces no new skill-trigger convention.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle 3 corrective follow-up

Opening: The exact-head technical approval remains unchanged; this follow-up corrects the cycle-2 review provenance anchor to the live Neo Memory Core session UUID required by the canonical template.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

  • Inputs Read Before Patch: Cycle-1 review, cycle-2 approval #pullrequestreview-4888759901, the review-body lint finding #issuecomment-5225995342, the canonical follow-up template, live Neo Memory Core health, and current PR head/check state.
  • Expected Solution Shape: A corrective gate-bearing review must preserve the already-verified technical verdict, follow the canonical Cycle-N structure exactly, and identify the reviewer session with the Neo Memory Core UUID rather than a Codex task identifier. It must not manufacture a code delta or reopen settled Required Actions.
  • Patch Verdict: Matches. The code head remains 3e7d23463b; this review changes only the malformed provenance coordinate from the prior review and carries the approved technical judgment forward.
  • Premise Coherence: Coheres with verify-before-assert and friction→gold: the lint finding is accepted as empirical workflow evidence, and the correction repairs the review substrate without inventing implementation work.

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
