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.

Restore Shockwave Physics Interaction

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

Objective

Restore the physics interaction (repulsion) between shockwaves and swarm nodes, which was lost during the visual refactoring of the shockwave effect.

Issues

Interaction Loss: updatePhysics uses outdated logic (wave.age * wave.speed) to calculate the shockwave front. The new system relies on maxAge and maxRadius with non-linear easing.
Physics Mismatch: The visual wave expands using easeOutCubic, but if we restore simple linear physics, the visual ring and the physical force will desynchronize.

Tasks

Refactor updatePhysics:
- Update the loop to use wave.maxAge and wave.maxRadius.
- Replicate the easing logic: let eased = 1 - Math.pow(1 - progress, 3);
- Calculate wRad = eased * wave.maxRadius.
Verify Interaction: Ensure nodes are "thrown" when the visual ring passes them.

Input from Gemini 3 Pro:

✦ Restored physics interaction by synchronizing updatePhysics with the new visual logic:

Easing Alignment: Applied the same easeOutCubic curve to the physics calculation to match the visual ring's expansion.

Radius Calculation: Updated to use wave.maxRadius and wave.maxAge instead of the old linear speed model.

Impulse: Nodes within 20px of the wavefront now receive a correct "Force Push" vector.
