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.

FM cockpit per-agent mailbox pane — read-only AgentDetail tab (S1 view half, D#15249)

Context

The view half of surface S1 from the graduated FM design-first record (D#15249, closed RESOLVED → #15254 Surface Registry). Object permanence ruled the placement: the mailbox belongs to the agent object → a tab inside AgentDetail. Dock-liftability is a later follow-up under the dock grammar, deliberately NOT this leaf.

The Problem

The operator's daily loop today is reading raw A2A traffic by hand (wake daemon off = manual mailbox checks). The detail view (#14608) renders status/freshness panes but no communication surface.

The Architectural Reality

Consumes the Fleet mailbox read adapter (#15269 — blocked-by edge set); renders, never fetches raw MailboxService itself.
Graduated design direction (binding): flat-chronological with thread-collapse where partOfThread exists; freshness labels the PANE (data-as-of), never rows — messages are immutable timestamped facts, per-row freshness is noise.
Read-only in v13.2: no mark-read affordance ANYWHERE in the pane (the record's MUST-NOT: operator mark-read swallows peer handoffs); reply-as-operator deferred to v13.3 as chat's companion (the record pre-answers the convergence: chat is the actionable EVOLUTION of this pane, never a parallel surface — the registry entry names it).
Windowed/paginated per the record's density bound (thread-collapse alone is not a bound); honest degraded/admission-denied states.
apps/** gate: data via data.Store/records where applicable, state.Provider scoping, zero CSS-in-JS; design primitives from TOKENS.md/CARD-CONTRACT.md.

Acceptance Criteria

AgentDetail gains a mailbox tab rendering the selected resident's active-inbox mirror via #15269: flat-chrono, thread-collapsed, paginated, pane-level data-as-of freshness label.
Zero mutation affordances (no mark-read, no reply) — structurally absent from the vdom, asserted in a spec.
Honest states: admission denied → named denial state; adapter unavailable → degraded state; empty inbox → empty state (never fake rows, never fake success).
Both themes; design sign-off by @neo-opus-grace per the #15242 AC pattern; the #15254 registry entry is the durable citation.
Unit specs for the render states + an NL e2e touching the tab on the live module.

Out of Scope

The adapter itself (#15269) · dock-liftability of the pane · chat/actionable evolution (v13.3) · archive browsing.

Epic #14560 (parent — the surface epic) · #15269 (blocked-by: the Brain half) · D#15249 (graduated record, S1 tokens + boundary ACs) · #15254 / PR #15255 (registry) · #14608 (the detail view this extends).

Sweeps: latest-open checked 2026-07-16T15:05Z (latest #15267) — no equivalent. A2A herd-window clean.
