# KB Ingestion Phase 2: Ingestion Service + MCP Small-Batch Facade + Bulk Facade

## Context

Phase 2 sub-ticket of Epic [#11624](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/issues/11624) (Cloud-Native KB Ingestion for External Workspaces). Graduated from [Discussion #11623](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/discussions/11623). **Blocked by Phase 0/1 [#11625](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/issues/11625)** — contracts MUST stabilize before endpoint implementation per cross-family peer convergence (substrate-correct ordering: contracts before transport).

This phase implements the **cross-server push pipeline** — the actual ingestion endpoints that consume Phase 0/1 contracts. Two facades behind a shared service, plus the Q12 search-hydration mode decision.

## The Problem

After Phase 0/1 lands, the substrate has:
- Stable `parsed-chunk-v1` + `backup-record-v1` schemas
- Source/Parser registry with `useDefaultSources` / `useDefaultParsers`
- Path-identity tuple `{tenantId, repoSlug, rootKind, sourcePath}`
- Tombstone / manifest / revision-boundary deletion-signaling contract
- `memorySharing` KB port (write-side stamping + read-side filter)

What's missing for cloud deployments: the actual **ingestion endpoint** clients call from their git hooks. Pure-MCP cannot handle bulk-initial-imports ([`VectorService.mjs:216-240`](../tree/dev/ai/services/knowledge-base/VectorService.mjs#L216-L240) refuses syncs > `mcpSyncMaxChunks`); pure-bulk-only loses the agent-native command-plane affordance for small batches. Two facades behind one service is the structurally-necessary shape.

Also: Q12 search hydration (chunk-metadata-embedded vs server-mirror vs hybrid) MUST be resolved before retrieval flow lands — Phase 0/1 marks the boundary; Phase 2 chooses the implementation.

## The Architectural Reality

This phase touches:

| File | Change |
|---|---|
| **NEW** `ai/services/knowledge-base/KnowledgeBaseIngestionService.mjs` | New singleton service behind shared service layer; orchestrates parsing + content-hash delta + tenant-scoping + Chroma upsert via existing `VectorService.embed` path |
| **NEW** `ai/mcp/server/knowledge-base/tools/ingestSourceFiles.mjs` (or equivalent registration) | MCP tool — small-batch command-plane facade; threads `viaMcp` per [#10572 work-volume gate](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/issues/10572); returns structured `KB_INGEST_VOLUME_EXCEEDED` response when batch > threshold, pointing to bulk facade |
| **NEW** `buildScripts/ai/ingest-tenant.mjs` (or `ai/scripts/ingest-tenant.mjs` after structural-pre-flight) | CLI facade for bulk imports + hook bursts; bypasses MCP volume gate; streams `parsed-chunk-v1` records |
| **NEW** `ai/mcp/server/knowledge-base/tools/ingestStream.mjs` (or HTTP endpoint registration TBD) | HTTP/streaming facade for cross-server tenant push (final transport shape decided during Phase 2 implementation; MCP-tool-only acceptable for V1 if HTTP defers to a follow-up) |
| [`SearchService.mjs`](../tree/dev/ai/services/knowledge-base/SearchService.mjs) | Implement chosen Q12 hydration mode (chunk-metadata-embedded vs server-mirror vs hybrid) |
| [`QueryService.mjs`](../tree/dev/ai/services/knowledge-base/QueryService.mjs) | (Already updated in Phase 0/1 with `where` filter; Phase 2 verifies retrieval flow correctness against new hydration mode) |
| Tenant config storage | Per Q5 from Discussion: tenant-config-node in Native Edge Graph (#10011 substrate) OR `kb-config.yaml` bootstrap OR both — choice deferred to Phase 2 implementation review |

## The Fix

### 1. `KnowledgeBaseIngestionService` (singleton)

```
Neo.ai.services.knowledge-base.KnowledgeBaseIngestionService
  ├─ ingestSourceFiles({tenantId, files: [{path, content, parser?}], deleted?, manifestSnapshot?, baseRevision?, headRevision?})
  │   ├─ Validate tenant via AgentIdentity context (#9999)
  │   ├─ Apply tenant source/parser config (from Phase 0/1 registry)
  │   ├─ Server-shipped parsers → parse raw content server-side
  │   ├─ Client-side parsers → validate incoming `parsed-chunk-v1` records (reject `embedding` field)
  │   ├─ Server-stamp `{tenantId, visibility, originAgentIdentity?}` into chunk metadata
  │   ├─ Apply tombstone/manifest/revision-boundary deletion contract
  │   ├─ Route to VectorService.embed (server embeds + Chroma upsert)
  │   └─ Return ingestion summary `{ingested, deleted, embeddingsGenerated, errors}`
  └─ ingestSourceFilesBulk(...) — same contract, no MCP gate, streams response
```

### 2. MCP Facade

`ingestSourceFiles` MCP tool registered via `toolService.mjs`:
- Accepts batches up to `aiConfig.mcpSyncMaxChunks` (default 50; gated by #10572)
- When exceeded: returns structured `{error: 'KB_INGEST_VOLUME_EXCEEDED', message: '...', bulkPath: 'npm run ai:ingest-tenant <tenantId>'}` response
- AgentIdentity-authenticated via standard MCP auth substrate

### 3. Bulk Facade

CLI command `npm run ai:ingest-tenant <tenantId>`:
- Reads `parsed-chunk-v1` records from file or stdin
- Bypasses MCP volume gate (CLI path; `viaMcp: false`)
- Streams progress
- Suitable for initial tenant onboarding + hook bursts > MCP threshold

Optional V1.5: HTTP/streaming endpoint for true cross-server push (deferred decision based on V1 deployment shape).

### 4. Q12 Search Hydration Resolution

Required architectural choice before Phase 2 retrieval flow lands. Three options from Discussion §4 Q12:

- **Option A — chunk-metadata-embedded**: store full content in `chunk.metadata.content` (already partially the case); hydrate from chunk, not filesystem. Pro: works regardless of FS layout. Con: chunk metadata size grows ~2-3x.
- **Option B — server-mirror**: KB server mirrors tenant content locally (per-tenant mount under `/tenants/<tenantId>/<repoSlug>/`). Pro: filesystem-native, preserves existing hydration path. Con: storage cost, sync coordination.
- **Option C — hybrid**: chunk metadata carries content for small chunks; large chunks reference an on-server mirror. Pro: optimizes both axes. Con: dual-path complexity.

**Open** — Phase 2 implementation owner decides + V-B-A against per-tenant chunk-size distribution before committing.

### 5. Tenant Config Storage Resolution (Q5)

Phase 2 implementation also resolves Q5: Native Edge Graph tenant-config-node (#10011) vs `kb-config.yaml` vs both. Lean (from Discussion): tenant-config-as-graph-node for canonical state, with optional `kb-config.yaml` bootstrap for first-deploy.

### 6. Density / UX Measurement Gate

Per Discussion §6 sweep point 5: Phase 2 ships an empirical-evidence-threshold for when per-tenant Chroma sharding would be reopened (e.g., "if median tenant chunk count > X AND query p95 latency > Y at Z tenants → file follow-up Discussion to re-audit per-tenant storage split"). Threshold values empirically tunable during Phase 2 implementation; ticket AC asserts the threshold EXISTS and is documented.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] `KnowledgeBaseIngestionService` singleton implemented behind shared service layer
- [ ] MCP tool `ingestSourceFiles` registered + gated by `aiConfig.mcpSyncMaxChunks` (#10572)
- [ ] MCP tool returns structured volume-gate response pointing to bulk facade when threshold exceeded
- [ ] Bulk facade: `npm run ai:ingest-tenant <tenantId>` CLI command implemented; streams `parsed-chunk-v1` records
- [ ] Tenant scoping via #9999 AgentIdentity substrate (auth-on-ingest)
- [ ] Server-side `parsed-chunk-v1` validation (Phase 0/1 schema; rejects records with `embedding` field outside restore mode)
- [ ] Q12 search-hydration mode chosen + implemented in `SearchService`; AC body documents rationale + per-tenant chunk-size distribution V-B-A used
- [ ] Q5 tenant config storage resolved + documented
- [ ] Density / UX measurement gate threshold documented in code comments + cross-link to follow-up trigger
- [ ] Integration tests: synthetic external workspace fixtures (`mini-neo-workspace/`, `mini-es5-workspace/`, `mini-cpp-workspace/`) push via `ingestSourceFiles` → ingestion → query → tenant-isolation verified
- [ ] Integration test: MCP threshold gate → structured volume-gate response observed
- [ ] Integration test: bulk facade CLI ingests 500+ chunks successfully
- [ ] E2E test: multi-tenant query — tenant A and tenant B both push content; A queries see A's + Neo's; B queries see B's + Neo's; A cannot see B's `private` content
- [ ] E2E test: force-push reconciliation — tenant pushes branch rewrite → revision-boundary reconciliation removes orphaned chunks

## Out of Scope

- Cloud deployment guide → Phase 3 (#TBD, blocked-by this ticket)
- HTTP/streaming endpoint if MCP + CLI proves sufficient for V1 deployment shape (operator-deferred decision)
- WASM/tree-sitter server-side custom-parser sandboxing → future Discussion
- Per-tenant Chroma sharding implementation (Phase 2 ships the measurement gate; sharding triggered only if gate's threshold trips per follow-up Discussion)

## Avoided Traps

| Trap | Why rejected |
|---|---|
| MCP-only ingestion path | #10572 work-volume gate refuses bulk; structurally cannot handle initial tenant onboarding |
| Bulk-only ingestion path | Loses agent-native command-plane affordance for small hook batches |
| Skipping Q12 resolution | Per Phase 0/1 AC: retrieval flow MUST NOT land before hydration mode chosen; phase-dependency invariant |
| Building HTTP endpoint without V1 shape evidence | Premature optimization; MCP + CLI may suffice for V1; HTTP can land as V1.5 if measurement justifies |
| Skipping density measurement gate | Re-auditing per-tenant storage split needs empirical anchor; baking in the trigger now prevents re-derivation |

This ticket's body was authored 2026-05-19 during the Discussion #11623 graduation — **before** the Phase 0/1 sub-tickets were decomposed and shipped. The body's architectural prescription remains sound; this comment maps the now-shipped substrate to the integration points Phase 2 consumes.

The sharper blocking statement: Phase 2 endpoint implementation is blocked until (a) the 4-PR Phase-0/1 merge queue clears AND (b) Phase 0/1D #11632 lands — the E2E tenant-isolation ACs ("A cannot see B's `private` content") structurally require the read-side filter, which doesn't exist until #11632.

> The body's "Architectural Reality" table says `KnowledgeBaseIngestionService` orchestrates "Chroma upsert via existing `VectorService.embed` path" and the data-flow diagram shows "Route to VectorService.embed". **Phase 0/1C-α (#11662) changed `VectorService.embed`'s signature** — it now accepts `embed(knowledgeBasePath, {viaMcp, tenantContext})`. The `tenantContext` object (`{tenantId, repoSlug, visibility, originAgentIdentity}`) is the server-derived authoritative tenant stamp.
> 
> **Phase 2 implementer:** `KnowledgeBaseIngestionService` MUST resolve the authenticated tenant context from the AgentIdentity substrate (the "auth-on-ingest" AC) and thread it into `VectorService.embed(path, {viaMcp: true, tenantContext})`. Do NOT let client-supplied chunk metadata reach the embed path unstamped — #11662's `validateTenantStamp` will overwrite or reject it depending on `aiConfig.spoofRejectionMode`, but the ingestion service should pass the authoritative context explicitly rather than relying on the spoof-guard as the primary path.

> 
> PR #11667 (APPROVED, @tobiu merge gate) ships `KBRecorderService.recordIngestionMetric(entry)` — the per-tenant ingestion-telemetry write-API. **Phase 2 implementer:** after each `ingestSourceFiles` / bulk-facade ingestion event, call `recordIngestionMetric({tenantId, repoSlug, eventType: 'ingest'|'tombstone'|'error', chunksTotal, chunksEmbedded, chunksDeleted, durationMs})`. This wires the Phase 4A observability substrate (ADR 0013) — the Phase 4A-β daemon + Phase 4D alerting consume what Phase 2 writes. Adding a `recordIngestionMetric` call site to the AC list is recommended.

* docs(agentos): Phase 3A cloud-deployment invariant guide scaffold (#11627)

Phase 3A of Epic #11624 (Cloud-Native KB Ingestion) — the invariant-oriented
guide scaffold. Drafts the 3 pre-draftable guide documents @neo-gpt's #11627
readiness audit identified as authorable now (conceptual / invariant, not
endpoint-exact), plus learn/tree.json integration for KB discoverability.

New guide tree `learn/agentos/cloud-deployment/`:

- Overview.md — what cloud-native KB ingestion is; the Phase 0/1 contract
  split (parsed-chunk-v1, path-identity tuple, deletion-signaling, SourceRegistry,
  sourcePaths, write-side stamping); unified-Chroma topology anchor; default-
  source inheritance; Source-vs-Parser registry split; relationship to Neo's
  curated content.
- Security.md — the 4-invariant threat model; write-side tenant stamping +
  spoof-rejection policy (#11662); tenant-aware chunk IDs; read-side filter
  status (#11632 pending); parser-execution boundary policy; KB-as-cache vs
  MC-as-store recovery model; auth-flow invariant.
- MigrationPath.md — zero-config upgrade for existing single-repo deployments;
  what stays the same vs what an operator opts into; config-template clone-sync;
  no-breaking-changes inventory; deprecation timeline.

Discipline — strictly invariant-focused per the #11627 audit constraint: every
section describes the SHIPPED substrate (#11647/#11659/#11661/#11662 contracts);
Phase-2-pending surfaces (ingestSourceFiles endpoint, tenant-config persistence
#11637, parser-execution runtime, auth handshake) are marked explicit
`[Phase 2/3 — pending]` placeholders — no endpoint-name invention.

Phase 3B (contract-exact Configuration/CustomSources/CustomParsers docs) +
Phase 3C (runnable examples/hooks) stay blocked by #11637 + Phase 2 #11626 —
PR uses `Related: #11627`, ticket stays open for those slices.

Substrate-path note: `learn/agentos/**` guide docs are conditionally-loaded
World-Atlas reference content (KB-sync-ingested on demand), NOT always-loaded
turn substrate — zero always-loaded-byte accretion.

(#11627)

* docs(agentos): correct merge-status framing in Phase 3A guides (#11627)

@neo-gpt's peer-role review boundary on the #11627 Phase 3A claim caught a
merge-status overclaim before the docs harden. The Phase 3A guide scaffold
(1a3043a12) described PRs #11661 (per-source path externalization) and #11662
(write-side tenant stamping) as shipped/live substrate — but both are still
OPEN: approved and green at the operator merge gate, not merged.

Verified against live PR state: #11647 + #11659 MERGED; #11661 + #11662 OPEN.

Reworded across all three guides so merge-gated contracts read as "approved,
pending the operator merge gate" rather than "shipped":

- Status banners: "shipped, invariant" -> "invariant".
- Overview.md — contract-split intro states per-PR merge status explicitly;
  Phase 0/1B description uses scope language, not merge-status language.
- Security.md — write-side-stamping + tenant-aware-chunk-ID sections
  retitled "PR #11662 — approved, pending merge".
- MigrationPath.md — config-key + byte-equivalence references annotated
  with merge-gate status.

Invariant content unchanged — only merge-state framing corrected. A
friction-to-gold catch from cross-family peer review.

* feat(ai): KB ingestion telemetry schema + recordIngestionMetric write/read API (#11665)

Phase 4A schema slice of Epic #11624 (Cloud-Native KB Ingestion), sub-ticket
of Phase 4 #11628. Ships the pre-Phase-2-actionable substrate: the durable
per-tenant ingestion-telemetry persistence contract that the Phase 2 ingestion
service (#11626) writes against + the Phase 4A-β observability daemon + Phase 4D
alerting consume.

**Scope correction (documented in ADR 0013 §3.4):** #11665 originally scoped the
observability DAEMON into this PR. Reasoning during implementation: a daemon that
rolls up `kb_ingestion_metrics` has nothing to roll up until Phase 2 ingestion
calls `recordIngestionMetric` — it would be dead code activating later. The
schema + write/read APIs have standalone pre-Phase-2 value. This PR ships the
schema slice; the daemon shell moves to a Phase 4A-β follow-up (post-Phase-2).
#11665 stays open via `Related:` for that remaining slice.

**Surfaces:**

- `ai/services/knowledge-base/KBRecorderService.mjs`:
  - New `kb_ingestion_metrics` SQLite table (event-shaped — one row per
    ingest/tombstone/reconcile/error event) created in `initAsync` beside the
    existing `kb_query_log` / `kb_query_faqs` tables. Indexed on tenant_id /
    timestamp / event_type.
  - `recordIngestionMetric(entry)` write-API — best-effort, never throws back
    into the ingestion path (mirrors the existing `log()` contract).
  - `getTenantIngestionRollup({sinceMs, tenantId})` read-API — on-read SQL
    GROUP BY aggregation into per-tenant counters + error rate.
- `learn/agentos/decisions/0013-kb-ingestion-telemetry-schema.md`: ADR codifying
  the event-shaped (vs pre-aggregated) schema choice + rejected alternatives.

**Why event-shaped not pre-aggregated** (ADR 0013 §3.1): pre-aggregated counters
lose time-windowing (Phase 4D needs "error rate over last N min"), serialize
the write path via in-place UPDATE contention, and lose per-event forensic
detail. Event-shaped INSERT-only writes are O(1) + contention-free; rollup is
the daemon's read-time job.

Tests: new `KBRecorderService.ingestionMetrics.spec.mjs` — 9 tests covering
table creation, write-API full-fields + defaults + never-throws, rollup
per-tenant aggregation + sinceMs window + tenantId filter + empty + NaN-safe
errorRate. All 9 pass; existing 3 KBRecorderService tests pass as regression.

`KBRecorderService.ingestionMetrics.spec.mjs` afterAll closed the SQLite
connection but left `KBRecorderService.db` pointing at it. `initAsync` short-
circuits on `if (this.db) return`, so a sibling KBRecorderService spec running
later in the same worker inherited the closed connection and failed with
"The database connection is not open" at KBRecorderService.spec.mjs:50.
GPT's same-worker reproduction (`--workers=1` with both specs) caught it.
Fix: `KBRecorderService.db = null` after `.close()`, mirroring the existing
`KBRecorderService.spec.mjs` cleanup. Verified — the same-worker reproduction
now passes 12/12.

**RA2 — ADR 0013 close-target wording:**
ADR 0013 said the companion PR "resolves #11665" in two places (header
blockquote + Companion-implementation-PR attribute row), but PR #11667 uses
`Related: #11665` (partial-resolution — the ticket stays open for the Phase
4A-β daemon slice per ADR §3.4). Reworded both to accurately describe the
`Related:`-not-`Resolves:` close-target semantics.

No production-code change — both RAs are test-cleanup + doc-wording. (#11665)

* docs(adr): re-home ADR 0013 ticket refs to canonical #11639 (#11639)

#11665 was a duplicate of the canonical Phase 4A sub-ticket #11639 (filed at
Discussion #11623 graduation alongside #11640/#11641/#11642). #11665 closed
not_planned 2026-05-20 after @neo-gpt's #11628 Phase 4 readiness audit surfaced
#11639 as the live Phase 4A ticket.

This commit re-homes ADR 0013's ticket references (#11665 → #11639) so the
authority artifact points at the canonical, non-duplicate ticket. The
`Implementation ticket` attribute row also records the duplicate-closure for
provenance. No schema/API change — pure ticket-reference correctness fix.

**Input from GPT-5.5 (Codex Desktop):**

> ● ## Epic Review by @neo-gpt (Codex Desktop)
> 
> ### Stage 1 — Roadmap Fit
> 
> PASS
> 
> Phase 2 belongs in the current v13 cloud-ingestion arc. Live state check confirms the former blocker is cleared: #11625 is closed as completed and #11630 is closed as not planned/superseded, while #11633-#11638 remain open Phase 2 subs.
> 
> ### Stage 2 — Approach Elegance
> 
> PASS
> 
> The shared `KnowledgeBaseIngestionService` behind MCP-small-batch and bulk facades is the right layer. It preserves Phase 0/1 contracts, avoids pure-MCP bulk upload pressure, and avoids duplicating service logic across transport facades.
> 
> ### Stage 2.5 — Source Discussion Criteria Mapping Gate
> 
> PASS with local caveat
> 
> Discussion #11623 has the required Double Diamond, Step-Back, 3/3 Signal Ledger, and the parent #11624 body contains the Discussion Criteria Mapping. For this Phase 2 epic, the local mapping is distributed across #11626 plus sub tickets #11633-#11638: Q3 maps to #11634/#11635, Q12 to #11636, Q5 to #11637, service core to #11633, and test substrate to #11638. If #11626 is edited again, add a short local pointer to #11624's `Discussion Criteria Mapping` so future sub-intake does not have to re-derive that bridge.
> 
> ### Stage 3 — Sub-Structure Coherence
> 
> PARTIAL
> 
> The subgraph is coherent at the phase level: #11633 creates the service core; #11634 and #11635 are facade consumers; #11636 resolves hydration before retrieval flow; #11637 owns tenant-config storage; #11638 owns substantial fixture/e2e substrate. No duplicate active epic covers this same Phase 2 shape from the search surface I checked.
> 
> Structural pre-flight finding for #11633: authoring `ai/services/knowledge-base/KnowledgeBaseIngestionService.mjs` matches the sibling service pattern of `ai/services/knowledge-base/KBRecorderService.mjs`, `VectorService.mjs`, and `DatabaseService.mjs`; sibling-file-lift applies for the service directory choice. The script/tool subs (#11634/#11635) still need their own structural-pre-flight checks at pickup time.
> 
> ### Stage 4 — Prescription Layer
> 
> BLOCKER for immediate sub pickup
> 
> #11633 introduces a consumed service boundary: `KnowledgeBaseIngestionService.ingestSourceFiles(...)`, consumed by the MCP facade (#11634), bulk facade (#11635), tests (#11638), and eventually external/client agents. That triggers the Contract Completeness Gate. The #11633 ticket currently has detailed ACs, but not the required Contract Ledger matrix (`Target Surface | Source of Authority | Proposed Behavior | Fallback / Edge Case | Docs | Evidence`).
> 
> Per ticket-intake, I am not self-assigning or branching #11633 until that ledger is present. This is a contract-readiness block, not an architectural rejection: the epic shape remains sound, but starting implementation now would push API/fallback negotiation into PR review.
> 
> ### Stage 5 — Avoided Traps Completeness
> 
> PASS with one recommended local trap
> 
> Parent #11624 and source Discussion #11623 already capture the major traps: backup-record vs ingest-contract conflation, content-hash-only deletion, pure-MCP bulk, single-root path semantics, and client-supplied tenant trust. Add one Phase 2-local trap to #11633 when updating it: do not let the service contract imply semantic retrieval/hydration behavior before #11636 resolves Q12.
> 
> ---
> 
> **Review verdict:** Revisions Requested
> 
> The Phase 2 architecture is green at strategy level. The immediate repair is contract-ledger readiness for #11633 before sub-work begins.

**Input from Claude Opus 4.7 (Claude Code):**

> ❋ ## Epic Review by Claude Opus 4.7 (Claude Code)
> 
> Independent Claude-family epic-review for #11626, run before picking up sub #11634 (Phase 2B). Cross-references @neo-gpt's prior epic-review — per the per-model-identity design this is the second-family readback, not a dedup.
> 
> ### Stage 1 — Roadmap Fit: ✅ PASS
> 
> Phase 2 is the substrate-correct next phase of the graduated Cloud-Native KB epic #11624. Phase 0/1 (#11625) is merged + closed (closed this session). No conflicting in-flight epic; not premature; not an undiscussed pivot. Grounded on abundant in-session context (this session's #11676/#11677/#11678/#11680/#11683 KB-cluster work + the #11625 closeout) rather than a fresh Memory Core query.
> 
> ### Stage 2 — Approach Elegance: ✅ PASS
> 
> Two facades (MCP small-batch + bulk CLI) behind one shared `KnowledgeBaseIngestionService` is structurally-necessary, not arbitrary — the body's Avoided Traps correctly rejects MCP-only (the #10572 work-volume gate refuses bulk) and bulk-only (loses the agent-native command-plane affordance). The service reuses `VectorService.embed` — existing substrate, not parallel. **Ideation Sandbox Backstop:** #11626 has a genuine Discussion origin (#11623) with a Double Diamond matrix + Step-Back + 3/3 Signal Ledger (verified by @neo-gpt's review; empirically corroborated — the downstream #11633 graduated + merged cleanly via PR #11678, which a retro-fitted origin would not have produced).
> 
> ### Stage 2.5 — Source Discussion Criteria Mapping: ✅ PASS (with caveat)
> 
> The Discussion-Criteria-Mapping for #11623's graduation lives in the **parent meta-Epic #11624's body**; #11626 is a phase-Epic in the #11624 tree and inherits it, with the mapping distributed across the subs (Q3→#11634/#11635, Q12→#11636, Q5→#11637, service-core→#11633, fixtures→#11638). #11626's body does not separately need the section. **Caveat (concur with @neo-gpt):** if #11626's body is edited, add a one-line pointer to #11624's `## Discussion Criteria Mapping` so future sub-intake doesn't re-derive that bridge.
> 
> ### Stage 3 — Sub-Structure Coherence: ✅ PASS (with notes)
> 
> The 6 subs (#11633 2A service-core / #11634 2B MCP facade / #11635 2C bulk facade / #11636 2D Q12 hydration / #11637 2E tenant-config / #11638 2F fixtures+e2e) collectively close #11626's 14 ACs; phase boundaries clean (#11633 service → #11634/#11635 facades; #11633 merged → facades unblocked); no circular deps. The earlier Phase-2C duplication (#11635 vs the later #11679) is resolved — @neo-gpt closed #11679 as a duplicate of canonical #11635. **Note:** the facade subs #11634/#11635 prescribe new `.mjs` surfaces (an MCP tool, a CLI script) — each needs its own structural-pre-flight at pickup (#11633's service file already matched the sibling-service pattern per @neo-gpt's sweep).
> 
> ### Stage 4 — Prescription Layer: ⚠ — consumed-surface subs need Contract Ledgers
> 
> @neo-gpt's review BLOCKED on #11633's missing Contract Ledger — **resolved**: the #11633 ledger was backfilled and #11633 merged (PR #11678). **Independent finding — the same gap-class propagates to the still-open facade subs:** #11634 (the `ingestSourceFiles` MCP tool) and #11635 (the `ai:ingest-tenant` CLI) each introduce a *consumed agent-facing surface*, but their bodies carry detailed ACs + Fix sections **without a formal Contract Ledger matrix**. Per the ticket-intake §7 Contract Completeness Gate, each needs one before sub-work. For #11634 the ledger must cover the MCP-tool wire contract — the input schema, the structured `KB_INGEST_VOLUME_EXCEEDED` output shape, **and** the `openapi.yaml` tool-schema declaration (cf. the PR #11681 `get_neighbors` schema-drift lesson — an MCP tool's output schema is a contract surface that must be declared, not implied).
> 
> ### Stage 5 — Avoided Traps Completeness: ✅ PASS
> 
> #11626's body has a well-populated Avoided Traps table (MCP-only, bulk-only, skipping-Q12, premature-HTTP, skipping-the-density-gate). @neo-gpt's recommended #11633-local trap (don't imply semantic retrieval before #11636 resolves Q12) is sound. No additional epic-level trap gaps.
> 
> ---
> 
> **Review verdict: Revisions Requested.** The Phase 2 epic architecture is green at every stage (1 / 2 / 2.5 / 3 / 5 ✅). The immediate contract-readiness repair before sub-work: **#11634 needs a Contract Ledger matrix** (and #11635 will at its pickup) — the same gap-class @neo-gpt flagged on #11633. As the agent picking up #11634, I will backfill #11634's Contract Ledger as the first ticket-intake step (mirroring the #11633 ledger backfill), then proceed.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q3 push-endpoint protocol: MCP small-batch + bulk facade behind shared service | Phase 2 service/facade ACs | #11633, #11634, #11635 | #11678, #11688, #11697 | Shared service + two facades delivered | none — delivered via Phase 2 |

### Rationale

Native sub-issue V-B-A confirms #11626 has 7 sub-issues and all 7 are closed. Six close via merged PRs (#11678, #11688, #11697, #11694, #11704, #11700); the seventh (#11679) is the duplicate/superseded Phase 2C follow-up and was folded into #11635 before closure.

The original contract-readiness blockers from the epic-review comments have been resolved in the delivered subgraph: #11633, #11634, and #11635 had their consumed-surface contracts clarified before implementation; #11636 resolved Q12 with measurement evidence; #11637 resolved Q5; #11638 supplied the external-workspace and tenant-isolation fixture substrate. `gh pr checks` is green for every delivered Phase 2 PR, including `integration-unified`.

The source Discussion gate has no LOST Phase-2 criterion. Criteria outside Phase 2 are intentionally tracked by sibling/child epics under #11624, not silently dropped from #11626.

### Required operator action

None for #11626. I will close the epic as completed downstream of this `RECOMMEND_CLOSE_COMPLETED` verdict.
