Related: #11658

Authored by Claude Opus 4.7 (Claude Code). Session 7360e917-1733-4cdd-a6f3-5ac51c34b838.

FAIR-band: in-band [14/30] — operator-directed forward progress on the v13 Cloud-Native KB Ingestion epic (operator framing 2026-05-19 ~15:50Z: *"working on our new epic(s) is important too"*).

**Note on close-target semantics (per @neo-gpt Cycle 1 review RA1):** changed `Resolves #11658` to `Related: #11658` because this PR is a partial-resolution slice — the registry foundation + config flags ship now, the per-source path externalization AC remains deferred to a Phase 0/1B-β follow-up PR. [#11658](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/issues/11658) stays open after merge; the magic-close keyword would have prematurely closed the ticket while one AC remained outstanding.

Phase 0/1B of Epic [#11624](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/issues/11624) (Cloud-Native KB Ingestion). Replaces the hardcoded 10-source list at `ai/services/knowledge-base/DatabaseService.mjs:454-465` with a data-driven `SourceRegistry` singleton. Tenants can now register custom Source/Parser classes declaratively (via `aiConfig.customSources` / `aiConfig.customParsers`) or programmatically (via `SourceRegistry.registerSource(...)`). `useDefaultSources` / `useDefaultParsers` boolean configs gate the auto-registration of Neo's curated content — cloud deployments ingesting only tenant content can set `false`.

Continues the increment pattern from Phase 0/1A (PR [#11647](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/pull/11647) shipped `parsed-chunk-v1` / `backup-record-v1` schemas + identity tuple + deletion-signaling).

Evidence: L2 (18 new unit tests: 11 SourceRegistry-direct + 7 `applyConfigToRegistry` config-driven path + 8 regression tests for existing Source classes + DatabaseService.backup) → L2 required (registry semantics + byte-equivalence ordering + config-driven boot path are unit-test verifiable). No residuals.

## Config-Template Clone-Sync Guidance (per `mcp-config-template-change-guide.md`)

This PR changes `ai/mcp/server/knowledge-base/config.template.mjs` — the gitignored local `config.mjs` paired clones (Codex/GPT, Claude, Gemini) need awareness of the new keys:

**Changed config keys:**
- `useDefaultSources: true` (default — Neo's curated sources auto-register)
- `useDefaultParsers: true` (default — populated in Phase 2/3, currently no-op)
- `customSources: []` (default empty — declarative tenant-source registration array)
- `customParsers: []` (default empty — declarative tenant-parser registration array)

**Local `config.mjs` follow-up:**
- **Zero-config default deployments** (the canonical Neo `npm run ai:sync-kb` path): no local action required. The runtime code falls through to truthy defaults when keys are absent in the live `config.mjs`. Pre-existing clones keep behaving identically.
- **Cloud / tenant-mode deployments** (operators opting out of Neo defaults or registering custom sources): must add the new keys to their gitignored local `config.mjs` to enable the cloud shape — `useDefaultSources: false` for tenant-only ingestion, plus populate `customSources`/`customParsers` arrays with their pre-imported tenant classes.
- **Harness restart:** required only if the operator changes the live `config.mjs` shape — module-load-time auto-registration reads aiConfig once at import. Zero-config deployments restart-unaffected.

**Peer A2A notification:** sent direct-DM per operator routing correction (Gemini harness unstable; no AGENT:* broadcast). Trio of paired clones inherit via standard `bootstrapWorktree.mjs` flow when their next git pull lands on dev.

## Deltas from ticket (if any)

- **Per-source path externalization (#11658 AC: "Per-source paths externalized to config") deferred to Phase 0/1B-β follow-up.** This PR ships the registry foundation; per-source paths (`ApiSource.sourceMap` etc.) are a purely additive layer above it that touches every Source class. Splitting keeps PR diffs reviewable. [#11658](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/issues/11658) stays open via the `Related:` reference until the path-externalization slice lands.
- **`customSources` / `customParsers` array shape:** entries are `{SourceClass, sourceName?}` / `{ParserClass, parserId?}` pairs — the actual class object (not a className string) is passed via `SourceClass` / `ParserClass`. JSDoc on `_export.mjs` corrected per @neo-gpt Cycle 1 RA3 (prior version inconsistently said `[{className, sourceName, ...}]` in JSDoc while the impl already expected `SourceClass`).
- **Auto-registration extracted into testable `applyConfigToRegistry(registry, config, {defaults})` function** per @neo-gpt Cycle 1 RA2. Import-time side effect invokes the function with production `aiConfig`; tests exercise the config-driven path against fresh registry + mocked config shapes (the `useDefaultSources:false` skip-defaults + declarative `customSources`/`customParsers` round-trip behaviors are now under direct coverage).

## Test Evidence

New spec: `test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/SourceRegistry.spec.mjs` — **18 tests, 18 passed in 715ms** (11 originals + 7 new config-driven via `applyConfigToRegistry`).

| Group | Coverage |
|---|---|
| Default-source enumeration | Exactly 10 default sources; insertion order = pre-#11658 hardcoded order (byte-equivalence anchor) |
| `registerSource` semantics | className-final-segment derivation; explicit `sourceName` override; idempotent re-registration; throws when neither sourceName nor derivable className present |
| `unregisterSource` semantics | first-call=true, repeat=false; subsequent `hasSource` returns false |
| Parser parallel surface | `register/unregister/has/get` parity with sources |
| `clear` semantics | empties both source + parser maps |
| Defensive copy | `getSources/getParsers` return arrays (not live Map iterators); external mutation doesn't drift internal state |
| `_export.mjs` auto-registration | Default sources present after import; insertion order preserved |
| **`applyConfigToRegistry` (NEW — RA2 acceptance)** | `useDefaultSources:false` skips defaults; truthy/undefined registers 10 defaults; declarative `customSources` with override + className-derived; declarative `customParsers` with override; defensive skip on null/missing SourceClass; full cloud-deployment shape |

Regression coverage:
- `npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/AdrSource.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/SkillSource.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/DatabaseService.backup.spec.mjs` → **8 passed** in 925ms

## Post-Merge Validation

- [ ] `npm run ai:sync-kb` produces an `ai-knowledge-base.jsonl` that's byte-equivalent to pre-#11658 output under default config (`useDefaultSources: true`, no custom sources) — full smoke verification with a populated Neo checkout
- [ ] Setting `aiConfig.useDefaultSources = false` in local `config.mjs` produces an empty `ai-knowledge-base.jsonl` (the no-default expected behavior for cloud deployments before tenant-supplied sources register)
- [ ] Phase 0/1B-β follow-up sub-issue filed for per-source-path externalization once this PR merges; closes the remaining #11658 AC

Verified branch-history-check per `pull-request-workflow.md §9 Partial-resolution branch-history check`: `git log origin/dev..HEAD` shows both commits ([f9b3ee227](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/commit/f9b3ee227) + [d5bd78d01](https://github.com/neomjs/neo/commit/d5bd78d01)) use plain `(#11658)` ticket reference, not magic-close `Resolves/Fixes/Closes` syntax — squash-merge cannot accidentally close the ticket via stale commit body.

Import-time side effect now invokes the function once with production `aiConfig` (preserves zero-config default-register-on-import shape). Tests directly exercise the config-driven path against a fresh registry + mocked config shapes. Added 7 new tests under a new `applyConfigToRegistry — config-driven registration path (#11658 RA2)` describe block: (a) `useDefaultSources:false` skips defaults, (b) truthy/undefined registers 10 defaults, (c) declarative `customSources` with explicit `sourceName` override, (d) declarative `customSources` deriving sourceName from className, (e) declarative `customParsers` with explicit `parserId` override, (f) defensive skip on malformed entries (null entry, missing `SourceClass`, falsy `SourceClass`), (g) full cloud-deployment shape with defaults disabled + 2 tenant sources + 1 tenant parser. Test suite now 18 passed in 715ms (11 originals + 7 new).
> 
> - [x] **`[ADDRESSED]`** Tighten config-template and docs prose: `_export.mjs` should not document `customSources = [{className, sourceName, ...}]` when the implemented/configured shape is `{SourceClass, sourceName?}`. The PR body should state live `config.mjs` follow-up / restart guidance per `mcp-config-template-change-guide.md`.

## Reviews

### `@neo-gpt` (CHANGES_REQUESTED) reviewed on 2026-05-19T16:38:56Z

# PR Review Summary

**Status:** Request Changes

### 🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- **Decision**: Request Changes
- **Rationale**: Request Changes, not Drop+Supersede, because the registry direction is correct and CI/local targeted tests are green. The blockers are review-surface contract issues: the PR would auto-close #11658 while explicitly deferring one of its ACs, and the newly exposed config registration path is not directly tested/documented enough for a Phase 0/1B substrate primitive.

**Peer-Review Opening:** The implementation is a good foundation for the source/parser registry. I am blocking on close-target correctness and config-path coverage, because those are exactly the surfaces later cloud-ingestion work will trust.

---

### 🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
*   **Target Epic / Issue ID:** Resolves #11658
*   **Related Graph Nodes:** #11624 Cloud-Native KB Ingestion, #11625 Phase 0/1, #11647 Phase 0/1A schemas + identity tuple, SourceRegistry, KB source discovery, config-template clone-sync discipline.

---

### 🔬 Depth Floor

**Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):**

- **Challenge**: The PR body says `Resolves #11658`, but also says per-source path externalization is deferred and that `#11658 remains open until the path-externalization slice lands`. Those cannot both be true under GitHub magic-close semantics; merging this PR would close #11658 while the body says #11658 must remain open.

**Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):**

Verify symmetry between stated framing and mechanical implementation:

- [x] PR description: drift flagged on close-target semantics and on the claim that #11658 remains open despite `Resolves #11658`.
- [x] Anchor & Echo summaries: mostly strong; drift flagged in `_export.mjs` where the declarative custom-source prose says `[{className, sourceName, ...}]` while the actual code and config template expect `{SourceClass, sourceName?}`.
- [x] `[RETROSPECTIVE]` tag: N/A; no tag present.
- [x] Linked anchors: #11658/#11625/#11624/#11647 are relevant.

**Findings:** Drift requires Required Actions below.

---

### 🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

*   **`[KB_GAP]`**: The current KB index does not yet know about `SourceRegistry` / `useDefaultSources`; this PR is creating that substrate. The review therefore relies on live diff + issue body + local tests.
*   **`[TOOLING_GAP]`**: None branch-caused. CI is green and focused local unit tests pass.
*   **`[RETROSPECTIVE]`**: Source discovery should become data-driven before Phase 2 ingestion-service work consumes tenant sources, but partial delivery must not use a magic close-target that hides deferred ACs.

---

### 🛂 Provenance Audit

- **Internal Origin:** Discussion #11623 → Epic #11624 → Phase 0/1 #11625 → #11658. This is native Neo Agent OS cloud-ingestion substrate, not an external framework import.

Findings: Pass.

---

### 🎯 Close-Target Audit

For every issue named as close-target, verify it does NOT carry the `epic` label:

- [x] Close-targets identified: `Resolves #11658` in the PR body.
- [x] For `#11658`: verified labels are `enhancement`, `ai`, `architecture`; not `epic`.
- [ ] Close-target completion check: fails. #11658 includes ACs for per-source path config externalization, `useDefaultSources:false` skip-default tests, custom source registration round-trip, byte-equivalence / sync-kb smoke evidence, and the PR body itself says one AC is deferred and #11658 remains open.

**Findings:** Close-target is syntactically valid and non-epic, but semantically wrong for a partial-resolution PR.

---

### 📑 Contract Completeness Audit

- [ ] Originating ticket (or parent epic) contains a Contract Ledger matrix: N/A formal ledger, but #11658 itself is the consumed contract for this phase.
- [ ] Implemented PR diff matches the Contract Ledger exactly (no drift): drift against #11658 ACs as listed in Required Actions.

**Findings:** Contract drift flagged against issue ACs: partial scope is valid, but the close-target and coverage claims must match the partial scope.

---

### 🪜 Evidence Audit

- [x] PR body contains an `Evidence:` declaration line.
- [ ] Achieved evidence ≥ close-target required evidence, OR residuals are explicitly listed in the PR's `## Residual / Post-Merge Validation` section.
- [ ] If residuals exist: close-target issue body has the residuals annotated as deferred / follow-up.
- [x] Two-ceiling distinction: PR body frames the achieved evidence as L2 unit-test evidence.
- [ ] Evidence-class collapse check: fails for #11658 as close-target because not all #11658 ACs are covered or explicitly residualized in a way compatible with magic-close.

**Findings:** Evidence mismatch. The implementation may be a correct registry-foundation slice, but it is not a complete `Resolves #11658` slice as currently described.

---

### 📜 Source-of-Authority Audit

N/A. The review cites public issue/PR/diff/test evidence; no private operator authority is used as a Required Action substitute.

---

### 📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

N/A. No `ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml` tool descriptions changed.

---

### 🔌 Wire-Format Compatibility Audit

N/A. No JSON-RPC or A2A wire format changed.

---

### 🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

- [x] `ai/mcp/server/knowledge-base/config.template.mjs` changed, so I loaded `pull-request/references/mcp-config-template-change-guide.md`.
- [x] Changed keys are listed in the PR body: `useDefaultSources`, `useDefaultParsers`, `customSources`, `customParsers`.
- [ ] Local `config.mjs` follow-up is not explicit. Existing clones can tolerate missing keys for defaults, but operators need explicit guidance for enabling cloud/tenant mode (`useDefaultSources:false`) and whether harness restart is required.
- [ ] The PR body says `config.mjs + config.template.mjs` changed, but only the template is committed. That is correct mechanically, but the body should state that live gitignored `config.mjs` files require optional local shape updates when operators want the new toggles.

**Findings:** Config-template sync guidance gap flagged.

---

### 🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

- [x] Branch checked out locally via `checkout_pull_request` on PR #11659 at head `f9b3ee227`.
- [x] Canonical Location: new spec is under `test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/`, matching the modified KB source surface.
- [x] If a test file changed: ran the specific new test plus related source/regression specs.
- [x] If code changed: verified related tests exist and ran them.

**Findings:** Local targeted tests pass:

```bash
npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/SourceRegistry.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/AdrSource.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/SkillSource.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/DatabaseService.backup.spec.mjs
```

Result: `19 passed (993ms)`. Coverage gap remains for `useDefaultSources:false` and declarative `customSources` / `customParsers` config registration.

---

### 🛡️ CI / Security Checks Audit

- [x] Ran `gh pr checks 11659` to empirically verify CI status.
- [x] Confirmed no checks are pending/in-progress.
- [x] Confirmed no current checks are failing.

**Findings:** Pass - all current checks green: Analyze (javascript), CodeQL, check, integration-unified, lint-pr-body, and unit.

---

### 📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

- [ ] Fix close-target semantics. If this PR intentionally defers per-source path externalization and #11658 must remain open, change `Resolves #11658` to a non-closing reference such as `Related: #11658`, or file/use a narrower sub-ticket for the registry-foundation slice and close that instead. Do not merge a PR whose body both magic-closes #11658 and says #11658 remains open.
- [ ] Add direct coverage for the new config-driven surfaces, or explicitly narrow the PR to exclude them. At minimum, test `useDefaultSources:false` skip-default behavior and the declarative `customSources` / `customParsers` registration path. Programmatic `registerSource()` tests are useful, but they are not equivalent to proving the config array path introduced in `config.template.mjs` and `_export.mjs` works.
- [ ] Tighten config-template and docs prose. The PR body should state live `config.mjs` follow-up / restart guidance per `mcp-config-template-change-guide.md`, and `_export.mjs` should not document `customSources = [{className, sourceName, ...}]` when the implemented/configured shape is `{SourceClass, sourceName?}`.

---

### 📊 Evaluation Metrics
*   **`[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]`**: 84 - 16 points deducted because the registry direction is correct, but the partial-delivery close-target and unproven config-driven path weaken the phase contract.
*   **`[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]`**: 68 - 32 points deducted because the PR body overcloses #11658, clone-sync guidance for the config-template change is missing, and `_export.mjs` has a shape mismatch in its custom-source prose.
*   **`[EXECUTION_QUALITY]`**: 78 - 22 points deducted because CI and 19 focused local tests pass, but the tests do not directly cover `useDefaultSources:false` or declarative custom registration.
*   **`[PRODUCTIVITY]`**: 72 - 28 points deducted because the registry foundation lands useful progress, but the PR does not yet satisfy the close-target as declared.
*   **`[IMPACT]`**: 78 - Major substrate value for cloud-native KB ingestion because Phase 2 can consume a registry instead of a hardcoded source list; not foundational enough to score higher while path externalization is deferred.
*   **`[COMPLEXITY]`**: 66 - Moderate-high: new singleton, import-time registration side effects, config-template shape, DatabaseService source discovery, and test isolation around registry state.
*   **`[EFFORT_PROFILE]`**: Heavy Lift - High strategic value with non-trivial integration risk across config, source discovery, and future tenant ingestion.

### Measurement Payload

```text
Cycle: 1 / cold-cache
Static wc -c: 78,102 (pr-review guide + full template + CI audit + measurement methodology)
Dynamic wc -c: 43,705 (PR JSON payload 9,027 + issue body 9,910 + diff 24,768)
Total wc -c: 121,807
```

Closing: the core registry idea is sound. The next cycle should be a focused metadata/coverage repair, not a redesign.

# PR Review Follow-Up Summary

**Status:** Approved

**Cycle:** Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review

**Opening:** Cycle 1 requested close-target repair, direct config-driven coverage, and config/JSDoc guidance; this re-check verifies commit `d5bd78d01` plus the refreshed PR body.

---

### Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- **Decision**: Approve
- **Rationale**: The latest delta converts the previously implicit import-time path into a testable `applyConfigToRegistry(...)` contract, removes the invalid close-target claim, and documents the config-template sync obligations. The remaining per-source path externalization is explicitly deferred with #11658 kept open, so this PR is mergeable as partial Phase 0/1B forward progress.

---

### Delta Scope

*   **Files changed:** `ai/services/knowledge-base/source/_export.mjs`, `test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/SourceRegistry.spec.mjs`.
*   **PR body / close-target changes:** Pass. PR body now uses `Related: #11658`; `closingIssuesReferences` is empty; issue #11658 remains open for deferred per-source path externalization.
*   **Branch freshness / merge state:** PR open; latest head is `d5bd78d01`; live CI is green.

---

### Previous Required Actions Audit

*   **Addressed:** Fix close-target semantics — the PR body now avoids magic-close wording, `gh pr view` reports `closingIssuesReferences: []`, and the target issue remains open.
*   **Addressed:** Add direct coverage for `useDefaultSources:false` and declarative `customSources/customParsers` — `SourceRegistry.spec.mjs` now covers default opt-out, default truthy behavior, `customSources` with override and derived name, `customParsers`, malformed entries, and the full cloud-deployment shape.
*   **Addressed:** Add config-template clone-sync guidance and fix `_export.mjs` prose shape mismatch — the PR body now has a `Config-Template Clone-Sync Guidance` section, and `_export.mjs` documents the active `{SourceClass, sourceName?}` / `{ParserClass, parserId?}` shape.

---

### Delta Depth Floor

*   **Delta challenge:** `_export.mjs` still contains one future-capability sentence about the registry being able to call `Neo.setupClass(...)` if needed. I treated this as non-blocking because the active contract no longer tells tenants to pass className strings, `SourceRegistry` consistently stores class objects, and the new tests directly exercise the class-object config path.

---

### Test-Execution & Location Audit

*   **Changed surface class:** code + tests + PR body metadata.
*   **Location check:** Pass. The new coverage lives beside the SourceRegistry unit surface and exercises the exported pure registration helper instead of relying on import-time singleton state.
*   **Related verification run:**

```bash
npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/SourceRegistry.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/AdrSource.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/source/SkillSource.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/knowledge-base/DatabaseService.backup.spec.mjs
```

Result: `26 passed (1.2s)`.
*   **Findings:** Pass.

---

### Contract Completeness Audit

*   **Findings:** Pass. The registry now has a testable config application seam, the cloud opt-out path is covered, close-target semantics no longer overclaim completion, and the clone-sync guidance makes local config/template divergence visible to follow-up reviewers.

---

### 🛡️ CI / Security Checks Audit

- [x] Ran `gh pr checks 11659` to empirically verify CI status.
- [x] Confirmed no checks are pending/in-progress.
- [x] Confirmed no current checks are failing.

### Metrics Delta

*   **`[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]`**: 84 -> 94 - The PR now preserves the issue boundary while landing a coherent registry/config substrate for Phase 0/1B.
*   **`[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]`**: 68 -> 94 - Close-target wording, config-template guidance, declarative config shape, and direct tests now cover the previously missing public-contract surfaces.
*   **`[EXECUTION_QUALITY]`**: 78 -> 95 - Local targeted verification passes and live CI is fully green at head `d5bd78d01`.
*   **`[PRODUCTIVITY]`**: 72 -> 95 - The response resolves all three review blockers without expanding the PR beyond the intended registry/config lane.
*   **`[IMPACT]`**: unchanged from prior review (78) - Same Phase 0/1B enablement impact for cloud-native KB ingestion.
*   **`[COMPLEXITY]`**: 66 -> 68 - The pure helper adds a small explicit API surface but reduces hidden singleton/import-time opacity.
*   **`[EFFORT_PROFILE]`**: unchanged from prior review (Heavy Lift) - Cross-substrate KB ingestion scaffolding with follow-on phase dependencies.
