What is the 'Neural Link'?

The Neural Link is a bi-directional bridge that connects AI agents (like Gemini or Claude) directly to the Neo.mjs runtime. It allows agents to 'see' the application's Scene Graph, inspect component state, verify event listeners, and even mutate the running application in real-time. This turns the application into a 'glass box' for AI, enabling autonomous debugging and feature development.

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

Traditional frameworks are general-purpose libraries (like a Toyota) that help you organize code, but they compile away into ephemeral DOM nodes. Neo.mjs is a precision-engineered runtime (like an F1 car), similar to Unreal Engine for games. It maintains a persistent 'Scene Graph' of objects in a separate worker thread. These objects retain their identity, state, and relationships, allowing for advanced capabilities like multi-window orchestration, runtime permutation, and deep AI introspection that are impossible with 'melted plastic' DOM-based frameworks.

What is 'Context Engineering'?

Context Engineering is the practice of curating the environment and information flow for AI agents to maximize their autonomy. In Neo.mjs, this is implemented via three Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers: a Knowledge Base for semantic code understanding, a Memory Core for learning from past sessions, and a GitHub Workflow server for project management. This ecosystem allows agents to work as fully integrated members of the development team.

What is 'Object Permanence' in the context of Neo.mjs?

In Neo.mjs, UI components are persistent JavaScript objects living in the App Worker, not just transient rendering results. This 'Object Permanence' means a component (like a Dashboard) maintains its state (scroll position, user input, internal logic) even if it is detached from the DOM or moved to a different browser window. This is the 'Lego Technic' approach versus the 'Duplo' approach of traditional frameworks.

What is an 'Agent Operating System'?

Neo.mjs v11 introduced the concept of an Agent OS, where the platform itself provides the tools and interfaces for AI agents to operate. It combines a standalone, type-safe AI SDK for autonomous 'Code Execution' with the Neural Link for runtime control. This enables agents to monitor, debug, and heal the application autonomously, effectively acting as an operating system for synthetic intelligence.

How does Neo.mjs handle multi-window applications?

Neo.mjs uses shared web workers to run a single application instance across multiple browser windows. All windows share the same application state and data in real-time. Components can even move between windows while retaining their JavaScript instances. This enables desktop-class experiences like multi-window IDEs, browser-based email clients, and multi-screen control rooms.

What makes Neo.mjs different from React, Angular, or Vue?

Neo.mjs is fundamentally different in its architecture: (1) It uses True Multithreading via web workers to prevent UI jank, (2) It is an AI-Native Application Engine with built-in bridges for AI collaboration, and (3) It treats components as persistent objects in a Scene Graph, enabling native multi-window support and runtime permutation.

Fix: Inconsistent and buggy prefixing in IssueSyncer archive paths

Name: Neo.mjs Application Engine
Author: Neo.mjs

Closed v11.13.0 bugai

tobiu commented on Nov 29, 2025, 1:01 PM

The logic for generating archive paths in IssueSyncer.mjs (#getIssuePath) is inconsistent and prone to "double-prefix" bugs.

Inconsistency:
- Milestone-based archives use milestoneArchivePrefix + title (e.g., v + 1.2.3 -> v1.2.3).
- Release-based archives (for issues without milestones) use release.tagName directly. If the tag is 1.2.3 (common in npm), the folder becomes 1.2.3 (no prefix). If the tag is v1.2.3, it works, but this relies on the tag format rather than enforcing the config.
Double-Prefix Bug:
- The current logic unconditionally prepends the prefix: ${prefix}${title}.
- If a milestone is named v1.2.3, this results in vv1.2.3.

Tasks:

Fix IssueSyncer.mjs: Update #getIssuePath to conditionally apply prefixes only if the target string doesn't already start with them. This applies to both milestone titles (using milestoneArchivePrefix) and release tags (using releaseFilenamePrefix).
Fix ReleaseSyncer.mjs: Apply the same robust prefix logic to syncNotes to prevent vv1.2.3.md filenames for release notes.

Goal: Ensure archive folders always have exactly one prefix (e.g., v1.2.3), regardless of whether the input was 1.2.3 or v1.2.3, and regardless of whether it came from a milestone or a release tag.

Input from Gemini:

✦ I have refactored the implementation to unify the directory prefixing logic.

Changes:

Unified Config: Renamed milestoneArchivePrefix to versionDirectoryPrefix in config.mjs. This clearer name reflects that the prefix applies to all version-based archive directories, whether derived from a milestone title or a release tag.

Robust Logic (IssueSyncer): Updated #getIssuePath to apply this prefix conditionally. It checks if the source string (milestone title or release tag) already starts with the prefix. If so, it uses it as-is; otherwise, it prepends the prefix. This prevents "double-prefixing" bugs (e.g., vv1.2.3).

Robust Logic (ReleaseSyncer): Applied the same conditional logic to syncNotes using releaseFilenamePrefix. This ensures release note files are also correctly named (e.g., v1.2.3.md) regardless of the input tag format.
