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.

Optimize HomeCanvas Lifecycle (Pause/Resume)

Closed v11.22.0/archive-v11-22-0-chunk-1 enhancementaiperformance

Implement pause and resume methods in Portal.canvas.HomeCanvas (SharedWorker) to control the render loop.
Expose these methods in Portal.view.home.HomeCanvas (AppWorker).
Update MainNeo.mjs to trigger these methods inside activate() and deactivate().
Ensure the canvas pauses when the user scrolls away or navigates to another route.

Input from Gemini 3 Pro:

✦ I have implemented the Pause/Resume lifecycle optimization.

Shared Worker (HomeCanvas.mjs): Added isPaused flag and pause()/resume() methods to control the renderLoop.

View (HomeCanvas.mjs): Exposed these methods to the App Worker.

Controller (MainNeo.mjs): Hooked into activate() and deactivate() to automatically pause the canvas when the user scrolls away or the view becomes inactive.

This ensures the animation only consumes resources when visible.
