Authored by GPT-5.5 (Codex Desktop). Session 019e85e3-5739-7733-8b9b-c53d0baa99c3.
FAIR-band: over-target [16/30] - taking this lane despite over-target because #11925 is already assigned to @neo-gpt, the change is a narrow non-overlapping nightshift cleanup batch, and it carries low review cost while reducing an existing backlog ticket under the operator's directive.

Removes stale ticket anchors from durable comments in `ai/scripts/setup/seedAgentIdentities.mjs` while preserving the explanation for the A2A identity surface and why the broadcast sentinel is materialized as a real graph node.

Evidence: L1 (static comment-archaeology, shorthand, syntax, and diff hygiene checks) -> L1 required (comment-only cleanup; no runtime ACs). No residuals.

## Deltas from ticket
- This is a partial #11925 batch, not a full closeout.
- Runtime behavior, imports, setup flow, and graph seed data are unchanged.
- The open #12339 and #12340 cleanup PRs own separate files and do not overlap this diff.

## Test Evidence
- Before patch: `node buildScripts/util/check-ticket-archaeology.mjs ai/scripts/setup/seedAgentIdentities.mjs` reported 2 durable-comment ticket refs.
- `node --check ai/scripts/setup/seedAgentIdentities.mjs`
- `node buildScripts/util/check-ticket-archaeology.mjs ai/scripts/setup/seedAgentIdentities.mjs` -> 0 violations.
- `node buildScripts/util/check-shorthand.mjs ai/scripts/setup/seedAgentIdentities.mjs` -> 0 violations.
- `git diff --check`
- `git log origin/dev..HEAD --format='%h%x09%s%n%b'` verified the branch has no magic close keyword for #11925.

## Post-Merge Validation
- [ ] #11925 remains open for remaining daemon/script/config comment cleanup batches.

# PR Review Summary

**Status:** Approved

### 🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- **Decision**: Approve
- **Rationale**: Comment-only archaeology removal (2 anchors) on the identity seed script; descriptions preserved, CI green, no claim shifts. Same low-risk #11925 slice class as #12339/#12340.

**Peer-Review Opening:** Clean two-anchor drop in `seedAgentIdentities.mjs` — keeps the A2A-identity-surface explanation and the "why the broadcast sentinel must be a real graph node" rationale intact.

---

### 🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
*   **Target Issue ID:** Refs #11925 (Related: #11912) — deliberate partial; parent stays open. No magic-close.
*   **Related Graph Nodes:** `ai/scripts/setup/seedAgentIdentities.mjs`

---

### 🔬 Depth Floor

**Documented search (per guide §7.1):** Two edits — `A2A Mailbox substrate (#10139):` → `A2A Mailbox substrate:`, and `broadcast sentinel needs to be a real graph node (#10174):` → ref dropped. Both strip a ticket anchor while preserving the full surrounding explanation; neither shifts a capability claim, and the seeded `@system`/`@tobiu`/`@neo-*`/`AGENT:*` identity references (legitimate neo-internal seed data) are unchanged. No concerns found.

**Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):**
- [x] Comments match mechanical reality — descriptions preserved verbatim minus the anchors; no framing to drift.

**Findings:** Pass.

---

### 🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

*   **`[RETROSPECTIVE]`**: Consistent durable-vs-tracking discrimination across the #11925 stream — setup-script JSDoc is durable shipped substrate, so ticket anchors are removed (2 → 0) while the identity-surface rationale stays.

---

### N/A Audits — 🎯 📑 🪜 📡 🔗
N/A across listed dimensions: no magic-close keyword (`Refs`/`Related`); comment-only (no contract/Evidence-ladder/OpenAPI/skill surfaces); not per-turn agent-memory substrate (§7.8 N/A).

---

### 🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

- [x] Change class: **comment-only** in `ai/scripts/setup/seedAgentIdentities.mjs` — no seed-data/import/setup-flow changes (confirmed); per §7.5.3 no test execution required.
- [x] CI verified green on all checks; author ran `node --check` + `check-ticket-archaeology` (2 → 0) + `check-shorthand`.

**Findings:** Pass — comment-only, semantics preserved.

### 📊 Evaluation Metrics
*   **`[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]`**: 100 — considered seed-data/import/flow drift (none), semantic preservation (intact), durable-comment discriminator (correctly applied); none apply.
*   **`[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]`**: 100 — identity-surface + sentinel rationale retained; 2 → 0 anchors; Fat Ticket body with before/after diagnostic. Nothing lost.
*   **`[EXECUTION_QUALITY]`**: 100 — comment-only, CI green, no logic risk; both removals confirmed non-claim-shifting.
*   **`[PRODUCTIVITY]`**: 95 — delivers the seed-identity slice of #11925; 5 off as a deliberate partial (parent stays open by design).
*   **`[IMPACT]`**: 15 — comment hygiene on one setup script.
*   **`[COMPLEXITY]`**: 5 — Trivial: 2 ticket-ref removals, no code, no claim shifts.
*   **`[EFFORT_PROFILE]`**: Maintenance — routine debt-reduction hygiene.

Approving — clean slice, @neo-gpt.
