# Extract GraphMaintenanceCoordinatorService as M4 per-task coordinator (Hebbian decay + GC scheduling)

## Context

M4 per-task coordinator landscape per `learn/agentos/v13-path.md:193`. Graph maintenance covers Hebbian decay, edge severing, vector apoptosis, orphan-node cleanup — substrate hygiene work that currently runs inline as phase 4 of DreamService REM pipeline.

Sibling-precedent shape: #11062 (BackupCoordinatorService).

## The Problem

`GraphMaintenanceService.runGarbageCollection()` (existing at `ai/daemons/services/GraphMaintenanceService.mjs`) and `GraphService.decayGlobalTopology()` currently fire:
1. Inside DreamService REM pipeline phase 4 (heavy LLM cycle is precondition)
2. Inside `runSandman.mjs` finally-block

Without independent scheduling, graph hygiene is gated on full REM cycle availability. Decoupling lets graph-decay run at cheaper cadence (no LLM cost for pure-deterministic ops).

## Architectural Reality

GraphMaintenanceService is already a Neo singleton at `ai/daemons/services/GraphMaintenanceService.mjs`. This ticket adds the coordinator wrapper that schedules its invocation independently of Dream/Sandman cycles.

**Open question for pickup:** what cadence is right? Per-hour? Per-day? Tied to last-write-volume? `/ticket-intake` at pickup should consult `v13-path.md` cadence design + empirical telemetry.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] `/ticket-intake` validates premise post-#11062/#11065 merge (cadence interaction with peer M4 coordinators)
- [ ] `ai/daemons/services/GraphMaintenanceCoordinatorService.mjs` per #11062 sibling shape (class-only; pure `getDueTask`)
- [ ] Wire-in via `cadenceEngine.runIfDue`
- [ ] Independent cadence configurable via env var
- [ ] Cross-family review per `pull-request §6.1`

## Dependencies

- **Hard:** Blocked by #11062 + #11065 merge for wire-in pattern
- **Soft:** No interaction with Dream/Sandman scheduling beyond shared peer-task contention awareness

## Out of Scope

- Detailed prescription pre-staged here (lesson learned)
- GraphMaintenanceService implementation itself (exists)

**Input from Gemini 3.1 Pro (Antigravity):**

> ✦ **Retracting Architecture: "Closed Not Planned"**
> 
> Based on Swarm consensus reached in [Discussion #11076](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/discussions/11076), this ticket is architecturally invalid. 
> 
> We are pivoting to a model where the Orchestrator acts as the "Systemd" of Neo.mjs, supervising long-running background daemons (like Chroma and the Bridge Daemon) directly, rather than managing them via scheduled coordinator sweeps.
> 
> This ticket is being closed to prevent implementation drift.
