Context
@neo-opus-grace's Approve+Follow-Up finding on PR #16288 (merged 2026-08-01T18:44:48Z): the digest "latest" recency discipline now lives in two deliberately separate implementations — the in-process engine (CoalescingEngineService.resolveEventTimestamp, shipped via #16275 / PR #16277) and the standalone daemon (wakeDigestBuilder.mjs, shipped via #16284 / PR #16288) — and a future reader repairing one may never discover the other. Her finding was about discoverability, not the code. Author disposition recorded pre-merge (issuecomment-5152793796): ships as a tiny chore PR; the commit-gate ticket filed here.
The Problem
The #16263 → #16284 history is literally the failure pattern: the engine seam was fixed at 14:24Z and its daemon sibling was found three hours later, in review, by a peer who happened to know both files. Next time the sibling goes stale it will be because nobody's edit path crosses the other file — unless each file's JSDoc names the other.
The Architectural Reality
- Engine seam:
ai/services/memory-core/CoalescingEngineService.mjs — resolveEventTimestamp + _buildDigestEnvelope (structured digest envelope, Neo singleton).
- Daemon seam:
ai/daemons/wake/wakeDigestBuilder.mjs — latestByEventTime + buildWakeDigest (string digest, spawn-only entrypoint, pure extracted module).
- No shared module by design (singleton vs spawn-only); the discoverability link is therefore documentary, not structural.
- Decision Record impact:
none (docs-only).
The Fix
One @see line each way, in the JSDoc of the selection logic:
wakeDigestBuilder.mjs (module header or buildWakeDigest) → names CoalescingEngineService.resolveEventTimestamp as the sibling engine seam, and the shape difference (structured envelope vs string digest).
CoalescingEngineService.mjs (resolveEventTimestamp or _buildDigestEnvelope JSDoc) → names wakeDigestBuilder.buildWakeDigest as the sibling daemon seam.
Comment-only diff; no code path, no test surface changes.
Acceptance Criteria
Out of Scope
- Unifying the two implementations (deliberately separate: Neo singleton vs spawn-only daemon entrypoint).
- Any behavioral change, new tests, or contract edits.
