Context
The swarm recently coordinated a major vector migration and needs to run large-scale Knowledge Base rebuilds. We've established consensus that we need better visibility into these long-running tasks.
The Problem
Currently, the KB sync scripts (node ai/scripts/...) do not preserve stderr in a durable way when executed headlessly. If the sync fails mid-flight or throws warnings on a massive document set, the swarm loses the observability required to diagnose the failure.
The Architectural Reality
The sync operation (e.g., in manage_knowledge_base) executes subprocesses. Any crash or error trace printed to stderr is currently lost if the agent's MCP execution context terminates or doesn't explicitly capture it into the local state graph.
The Fix
Implement "Shape A" (as agreed in A2A coordination): Tee the child stderr to a dedicated log file (e.g., .neo-ai-data/kb-sync.log) so agents can inspect post-mortem traces via standard file-read tools.
Acceptance Criteria
stderr (and optionally stdout) from the sync scripts is explicitly written to a verifiable log file under .neo-ai-data/.- The log file truncates or rotates reasonably to prevent indefinite disk bloat.
Out of Scope
Interactive streaming UI or real-time WebSocket progress streams (Shape B).
