What is the Neural Link?

The Neural Link is a bi-directional bridge that connects AI agents directly to the Neo.mjs runtime. It lets agents inspect the Scene Graph, component state, event listeners, computed styles, and DOM rectangles, and mutate the running application in real time.

Why is Neo.mjs called an Application Engine instead of a framework?

Neo.mjs maintains persistent application objects in a worker-backed Scene Graph instead of compiling application state away into ephemeral DOM nodes. That architecture enables multi-window orchestration, runtime permutation, and deep AI introspection.

What is Context Engineering?

Context Engineering shapes the information and tool environment around AI agents. Neo.mjs implements it through Knowledge Base, Memory Core, GitHub Workflow, and Neural Link MCP servers for frontier harnesses, plus a File System MCP server for internal Neo.ai.Agent local loops.

What is the Neo.mjs Agent OS?

The Neo.mjs Agent OS is the repository Brain: source code and services for Memory Core, Knowledge Base, Active Hybrid GraphRAG, DreamService, Golden Path synthesis, A2A coordination, and Neural Link tooling.

Computed GP: contradiction guard collapses to zero routes post-release

Closed v13.2.0/archive-v13-2-0-chunk-1 bugai

Context

Operator-reported live (2026-07-04 01:50Z handoff, verbatim paste in the original body — preserved in edit history): "huge friction... not picking up new tickets or sandboxes" — the Computed Golden Path rendered Selected routed nodes: 0 on every pass post-v13.1.

Scope note (2026-07-04 ~02:32Z, author re-scope per PR neomjs/neo#14596 cross-family review): this ticket is narrowed to the ROOT-CAUSE DEFECT the shipped diff genuinely resolves. The three follow-up behaviors originally listed here (focus-as-route fallback · guard-filter ledger recording · the release-window config/SSOT leaf) are split to neomjs/neo-agent-brain#115 with their ACs carried verbatim. The single-actionable-candidate narrowness remains neomjs/neo#14503's lane.

The Problem (narrowed)

CURRENT_FOCUS_ROUTING_CONFLICT_REASONS hardcoded the literal 'v13.1' (ai/services/graph/computedGoldenPathRouting.mjs:37). Post-release, every still-open release-tail focus candidate (#14575/#14310/#13448) kept arming the contradiction guard forever; with the pass's single actionable candidate (#14475 — blocked via its documentation label, while being release work itself) filtered, the route surface zeroed on every pass. Same stale-release-boundary class as neomjs/neo#14531.

The Fix (as shipped, PR neomjs/neo#14596)

Remove the release-version literal; the conflict-reason set becomes deliberately release-INDEPENDENT (incident, prio-zero); the class-lesson recorded behaviorally in the constant's JSDoc (release-window guarding, if reintroduced, rides a config/SSOT leaf with a publish-cleared lifecycle — never a literal; that leaf = neomjs/neo-agent-brain#115 item 3). Plus a new unit spec pinning the guard semantics.

Acceptance Criteria (narrowed to the shipped defect)

The 'v13.1' literal removed from the routing conflict-reason set; no release-version literal in computedGoldenPathRouting.mjs (falsifying grep).
Release-version focus reasons never arm the routing guard (unit-pinned: the live reproducer shape → findComputedFocusContradiction → null).
incident/prio-zero guard behavior unchanged (unit-pinned).
Partial-block fallback-to-next behavior test-pinned (content blocks, non-content survives).
Post-merge: the next Golden Path pass renders a numbered recommendation on the reproducer state (Selected routed nodes ≥ 1).

Out of Scope (split/siblings)
