📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The live-kernel test now records the agent CLI instruction in a marker file and verifies that the worker passes Perform the declared work..

Changes

Agent instruction verification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Capture and assert the agent instruction sdk/tests/live-kernel.test.ts	The temporary agent CLI records its received argument. The test imports statSync and asserts the expected instruction.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 70fc9

This localized test-only change records and verifies the argument passed to a temporary agent CLI; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

I hop through tests beneath the moon,
A marker file records the tune.
The worker speaks its words just right,
“Perform the declared work.” takes flight,
And green checks dance before the night.

Maintainability review — PR #98

Blockers

None.

Concerns

C1 — statSync import is a silent bug fix bundled with an unrelated feature change.
sdk/tests/live-kernel.test.ts:9 adds statSync to the named imports. But statSync(b).mtimeMs is already called at line 54 inside locateRelayflowd. That means the previous code would throw ReferenceError: statSync is not defined any time the "keyed" toolchain-target fallback fired — the reason nobody hit it is that TOOLCHAIN_TARGET/debug/relayflowd (the direct path at line 45) exists in the common case. A stranger reading this diff in six months will not see that a real, dormant crash was fixed here; the PR is framed as an agent-worker verification improvement. Either split the import fix into its own commit with a message that names the dormant bug, or note it in the PR body. Otherwise the next time locateRelayflowd's fallback path is exercised (parallel worktrees, per TOOLCHAIN_TARGET/<key>/debug/relayflowd) a maintainer will be surprised twice: first that it ever broke, second that it was quietly fixed.

C2 — Duplicated instruction string invites silent drift.
The instruction 'Perform the declared work.' appears in two places (sdk/tests/live-kernel.test.ts:231 inside the YAML template, and :243 in the assertion). They must stay in sync for the test to be meaningful. If someone edits the YAML instruction and forgets the assertion, the test starts failing for a reason unrelated to the behavior it's checking; if they edit only the assertion, the test asserts a value the CLI never received. Hoist to a local const INSTRUCTION = 'Perform the declared work.' used in both spots — the invariant becomes self-evident.

Notes

N1 — The change closes a real gap, which is worth stating. Before this diff the assertion at :234-237 could pass if the state machine reported done without ever invoking the CLI. The new marker assertion at :243 pins that reaching done requires the CLI actually ran and received the declared instruction verbatim. This is exactly the kind of "does the test fail if the behavior breaks" strengthening AGENTS.md §Tests calls for. Consider naming this in a comment (one line) so a future reader understands why the marker file exists and doesn't "simplify" it away as dead scaffolding.

N2 — Shell interpolation of marker into the CLI script is safe here. JSON.stringify(marker) handles quotes and backslashes; mkdtempSync yields alphanumeric suffixes; no user-controlled input reaches the string. No action required — just calling it out for the reviewer diffing this line.

N3 — CLI stdout (handled: %s) is now unverified in this test. The prefix is emitted but nothing asserts the worker captured or discarded it. Pre-existing gap, not introduced by this diff — flagging in case it's worth a follow-up.

REVIEW_PASSED

history lens — FAIL

Blocker — false evidence claim / repeated history mistake. The commit message states: “Verification and adversarial review ran in-run; see ops/reviews/ in the diff.” But the diff contains only sdk/tests/live-kernel.test.ts: the marker setup at lines 208–216 and assertion at lines 239–243, plus the statSync import. No ops/reviews/ file exists in the PR diff. This is objectively false about evidence and files touched.

It also repeats the exact failure class recorded in ops/DRIVE-LOG.md:48-51 and :1152-1163: review verdicts were previously claimed without persisted transcripts, after which the workflow was deliberately hardened to reject absent or uncommitted review artifacts. The repository standard at AGENTS.md:53-74 likewise says evidence must be captured, paths must exist, and correct code does not rescue a false report. This triggers HISTORY criteria 1 and 3.

Concerns: None under this lens beyond the blocker. The PR body repeats the same false ops/reviews/ locator, reinforcing rather than correcting it.

Notes: The code change itself is history-aligned. The marker written by the CLI and checked at sdk/tests/live-kernel.test.ts:211-243 strengthens the prior test by proving the declared agent command actually executed, rather than merely observing kernel state done. It introduces no contradiction with RFC-0001’s settled decisions and does not regress previously fixed behavior.

Amend the commit/PR description to remove unsupported verification/review claims, or include the referenced durable evidence.

Structure review — PR #98

Scope. The entire diff lives in one test file, sdk/tests/live-kernel.test.ts. No kernel, SDK, or product-logic file is touched, so the kernel/surface boundary (AGENTS.md §2, RFC §4 "closed kernel vocabulary") is untouched. No primitive was added, no helper grown past its purpose, no product logic slipped into kernel/. On the structure-lens axes — boundaries, coupling, file size, single purpose — this PR is clean.

What it does. The agent-worker end-to-end test (it('runs an agent CLI end to end through the SDK worker'), lines 206–239) previously asserted only that the step reached state: 'done'. That quantity is weak: it proved the journal closed the step, not that the harnessed CLI ever received its instruction. The change makes the fixture CLI write its $1 argument into a marker file and adds expect(readFileSync(marker, 'utf8')).toBe('Perform the declared work.') (live-kernel.test.ts:243). This pin now proves instruction passthrough through toKernelSpec(compileYaml(...)) down to the agent — a genuine strength, doubling the test's discriminating power against a silent wrong-CLI or dropped-instruction defect class. It matches the AGENTS.md "evidence is captured, not narrated" ethos: an observable side effect, not a narrated claim.

Concern (minor, not blocking). The diff adds statSync to the node:fs import block (line 9 in the diff), but statSync is actually consumed at line 54, whose blame dates to a prior commit (5132079, #38), not this PR. So the import addition is unrelated scope — a leftover fix for an earlier PR's missing import, riding along with this test hardening. It is not dead code (it is used), but it is off-topic in this diff and muddies the "why" of the change. Worth splitting out or at least calling out in the PR body.

Note. The fixture shell still only verifies the raw CLI invocation, not the full agent workspace/effect contract from RFC Appendix A (pin on start, journaled effects). That is appropriate — this test targets instruction delivery, not the starting-state contract; expanding further would over-scope a single test. Fine to leave as-is.

No file approaches a size-reason smell; the test remains a single-purpose spec.
