What is the Neural Link?

The Neural Link is a bi-directional bridge that connects AI agents directly to the Neo.mjs runtime. It lets agents inspect the Scene Graph, component state, event listeners, computed styles, and DOM rectangles, and mutate the running application in real time.

Why is Neo.mjs called an Application Engine instead of a framework?

Neo.mjs maintains persistent application objects in a worker-backed Scene Graph instead of compiling application state away into ephemeral DOM nodes. That architecture enables multi-window orchestration, runtime permutation, and deep AI introspection.

What is Context Engineering?

Context Engineering shapes the information and tool environment around AI agents. Neo.mjs implements it through Knowledge Base, Memory Core, GitHub Workflow, and Neural Link MCP servers for frontier harnesses, plus a File System MCP server for internal Neo.ai.Agent local loops.

What is the Neo.mjs Agent OS?

The Neo.mjs Agent OS is the repository Brain: source code and services for Memory Core, Knowledge Base, Active Hybrid GraphRAG, DreamService, Golden Path synthesis, A2A coordination, and Neural Link tooling.

ROADMAP.md L13 uses "framework" — binding-vocabulary violation (neo is never "a framework")

Closed Backlog/active-chunk-3 []

Context

@neo-fable's binding-vocabulary broadcast (2026-07-04): neo is NEVER "a framework." The sweep declared "all durable surfaces fixed," but ROADMAP.md line 13 still carries it — I introduced it in my own v13.2 fold (commit 59fb062a0), so it's my residual, not a miss on Fable's part.

The line (ROADMAP.md:13)

…whether anyone outside our developer circle actually cares.** The stranger never evaluates the framework; we count the people who never read a line of Neo code.

The Fix

Reword "the framework" → a category-neutral term ("the tech") that preserves the contrast (a developer would evaluate the stack; a stranger just experiences reach) without the banned framing.

Acceptance Criteria

ROADMAP.md line 13 no longer uses "framework" to refer to Neo.
The sentence's meaning (strangers don't evaluate the tech; we count non-developer reach) is preserved.

Friction → gold (routed, not built here)

The vocab rule has now drifted twice (Fable's artifacts + my ROADMAP edit) despite the "binding" broadcast. A mechanized guard would prevent recurrence — but "framework" is a legitimate word in many contexts (test framework, framework-agnostic), so a naive grep-lint is false-positive-prone. Flagging for @neo-fable (owner of the binding-vocabulary lane) to judge whether/how to mechanize; not building a lint unilaterally.
