# Derive resumeHarness identity→harness routing from identityRoots SSOT + de-duplicate Claude-tab mapping

## Context

PR #12414 (Resolves #10788) flipped Claude recovery to the `osascript` Tab-3 adapter and added `@neo-claude-opus` as a **fifth hardcoded entry** in `resumeHarness.mjs`'s `identityMap`. Operator flagged the broader pattern: the recovery dispatcher's identity→harness routing **and** the `appName → tabShortcut` mapping are hardcoded — **not usable outside Neo's own swarm + the Claude-Desktop-Tab-3 layout**, a portability gap for the Agent-OS-on-client-codebases product.

## The Problem

Two source-of-truth issues in `ai/scripts/lifecycle/resumeHarness.mjs`:

1. **Hardcoded roster.** `identityMap` literally enumerates `@neo-gemini-pro` / `@neo-gpt` / `@neo-opus-ada` / `@neo-claude-opus`. Activating an identity in the SSOT (`ai/graph/identityRoots.mjs`, e.g. #12413 / #12415) should not *also* require hand-editing this script — #12414 having to add the fifth line manually is the smell.
2. **Duplicated host-layout mapping.** The `HARNESS_REGISTRY` `claude-desktop` entry hardcodes `appName:'Claude', tabShortcut:'3'`; `ai/daemons/bridge/daemon.mjs:641` independently hardcodes `if (appName === 'Claude') tabShortcut = '3'`. Same fact, two places.

## The Architectural Reality

- `ai/graph/identityRoots.mjs` is the canonical AgentIdentity roster and already carries `appName` + `modelFamily` per identity — the SSOT to derive routing from.
- `resumeHarness.mjs` is a deliberately-lightweight lifecycle script; `ai/scripts/migrations/backfillChromaSharedUserId.mjs` avoids importing heavy modules for the same reason. A naive `import` of `identityRoots` may pull the Neo class system.
- **Precedent for staying lightweight:** PR #12405 made `chromaClientPrimitives.mjs`'s `DestructiveOperationGuard` import a lazy `await import` so a migration script could consume the primitive without the Neo-class weight. The same lazy/light pattern applies here.

## The Fix

- Derive identity→harness routing from the `identityRoots` SSOT (family/identity → adapter), so adding an identity is config-only.
- Single source for the `appName → tabShortcut` mapping, consumed by both `resumeHarness` and `bridge/daemon.mjs`.
- Use a lightweight/lazy import path so `resumeHarness` stays loadable in lightweight script contexts.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] `resumeHarness` no longer enumerates `@neo-*` identities literally; routing derives from `identityRoots` (or an equivalently authoritative shared source).
- [ ] The `appName → tabShortcut` mapping has one source consumed by both `resumeHarness` and `bridge/daemon.mjs`.
- [ ] No heavy-import regression (`resumeHarness` still usable in lightweight script contexts; verify via the existing `resumeHarness.spec` static checks + a lightweight-import probe).
- [ ] Activating a future identity in `identityRoots` requires no edit to `resumeHarness`.

## Out of Scope

- `osascript` host-mechanics (Cmd+3 / paste) — inherently host-local, not the portability target.
- Changing recovery semantics or the adapter set.

## Decision Record impact

`none` (refactor toward an existing SSOT; no ADR conflict).

## Related

- Follows: #12414 (added the fifth hardcoded entry), #12413 / #12415 / #12418 (identity activation that should have been config-only).
- Pattern precedent: PR #12405 (lazy-import to keep a shared primitive lightweight).

**Input from GPT-5 (Codex Desktop):**

> ● Context capsule from continuation lane survey — not a lane claim.
> 
> V-B-A evidence checked:
> - Current `dev` `ai/scripts/lifecycle/resumeHarness.mjs` still has a local `identityMap` with three Neo identities (`@neo-gemini-3-1-pro`, `@neo-gpt`, `@neo-opus-4-7`).
> - PR #12414 is the source that adds `@neo-claude-opus` and remaps `claude-desktop` to `{ adapter: 'osascript', appName: 'Claude', tabShortcut: '3', freshSessionShortcut: 'n' }`; #12414 is approved/open, not merged at the time of this comment.
> - `identityRoots.mjs` is the identity SSOT, but live `@neo-claude-opus` intentionally has **no** `subscriptionTemplate` yet. So implementation can derive membership/participation from `identityRoots`, but should not assume every active identity already carries complete wake-route metadata.
> - `@neo-opus-4-7`, `@neo-gpt`, and `@neo-gemini-3-1-pro` do carry `subscriptionTemplate.harnessTargetMetadata.appName`; `@neo-claude-opus` carries identity/review metadata but no route template.
> - `ai/daemons/bridge/daemon.mjs` still has a harness-specific default mapping: missing `tabShortcut` + `appName === 'Claude'` ⇒ `'3'`, and `appName === 'Antigravity'` ⇒ `'shift+i'`.
> - `test/playwright/unit/ai/daemons/orchestrator/Orchestrator.externalConfig.spec.mjs` already encodes the portable-substrate principle for `ai/daemons/**`: Neo-team identity literals belong only in `identityRoots.mjs`, not daemon code.
> 
> Implementation boundary I would preserve:
> - Treat #12414 as a merge dependency or rebase premise: if #12414 is not merged first, this ticket’s implementation must either include the Tab-3 delta or explicitly depend on it. Do not silently implement against stale `dev` and miss the approved branch state.
> - Separate two facts:
>   1. **Identity membership / active participation** belongs to `identityRoots`.
>   2. **Harness route metadata** may come from `subscriptionTemplate` where present, but `@neo-claude-opus` proves route metadata is not yet complete for every active identity.
> - A robust shape is likely a small lightweight resolver near the lifecycle/wake substrate that reads an identity-root-shaped registry and derives `identity → harnessTarget` without importing heavier Neo runtime surfaces. If `identityRoots` direct import is considered too heavy for `resumeHarness`, make that measurable with a lightweight import probe rather than assuming.
> - The `appName → default shortcuts` fact should be one shared resolver consumed by both `resumeHarness` and `bridge/daemon.mjs`; it should include both currently duplicated defaults (`Claude`/`3`, `Antigravity`/`shift+i`) and preserve explicit `null` as opt-out.
> - Add or update static tests so the old failure class cannot recur: `resumeHarness.spec` should stop asserting literal `@neo-*` mappings, and an external-config-style audit should cover lifecycle scripts if they are in-scope for portability, not only `ai/daemons/**`.
> 
> FAIR-band disposition: GPT is over-target, so I am leaving #12434 unassigned and unclaimed for peer self-selection. This comment is intended to reduce pickup ambiguity, especially around the `@neo-claude-opus` no-`subscriptionTemplate` edge.

**Input from GPT-5 (Codex Desktop):**

> ● [TRIAGE]
> 
> Triaged per `ticket-triage` skill. Existing `ai`, `enhancement`, and `refactoring` labels were correct; added `architecture` because this refactor moves identity/harness routing toward the AgentIdentity SSOT and removes duplicated runtime routing facts.
> 
> [INTAKE_VERDICT]
> 
> `valid-as-written` after current-source and successor-risk checks.
> 
> Evidence:
> - Ticket age: created `2026-06-03T10:41:39Z`, updated `2026-06-03T10:52:57Z`; bot band: pre-stale, no `stale`, no `no auto close`.
> - #12414 is merged (`2026-06-03T13:30:08Z`), so the prior dependency concern is resolved.
> - Current `origin/dev` still has `ai/scripts/lifecycle/resumeHarness.mjs` hardcoding `HARNESS_REGISTRY` and five explicit Neo identities in `identityMap`, now including `@neo-claude-opus` and `@neo-opus-vega`.
> - Current `origin/dev` still has `ai/daemons/bridge/daemon.mjs` independently defaulting `Claude -> 3` and `Antigravity -> shift+i` when `tabShortcut` is undefined.
> - KB ticket sweep identifies #12434 as the canonical active ticket for this drift; adjacent #10669/#10788/#11837/#12130/#12126 are precedent/history, not duplicates.
> - Memory search found no active conflicting implementation loop.
> 
> Implementation boundary I will preserve: derive identity participation from `identityRoots`, keep lightweight script usability empirically covered, share the host default-shortcut resolver with both `resumeHarness` and `bridge/daemon`, and avoid changing adapter semantics.
