feat(infra): substrate-adoption-rule lint mechanization (capability-registry + PR-time lint) by ronan-dandelion-cult · Pull Request #347 · karmaterminal/openclaw

ronan-dandelion-cult · 2026-04-26T20:57:18Z

Summary

Problem: substrate-adoption-rule lint mechanization (capability-registry + PR-time lint) #344 tracks that the §4.6 substrate-adoption rule was review-discipline-only, with no queryable registry or PR-time prompt for bespoke transport.
Why it matters: reviewers need a concrete way to ask “is there a substrate that carries this concern?” without byte-walking queue, TaskFlow, and continuation delegate surfaces.
What changed: added src/infra/substrate-capability-registry.ts, a lint:substrate-adoption advisory script, check:additional wiring, and focused unit/integration coverage for detection, adoption, and // SUBSTRATE-EXEMPT: <reason> suppressions.
What did NOT change (scope boundary): this is descriptor-discipline infrastructure, not a runtime gate and not a behavior change to session delivery, TaskFlow, or continuation execution.

Linked Issue/PR

Closes substrate-adoption-rule lint mechanization (capability-registry + PR-time lint) #344
Related docs(#335): RFC inserts §3.6 persistence + §4.6 lifecycle broker + §6.6 chain-correlation + §6.5/§6.1 addenda #342, session-delivery-queue (#70780) integration: post-compaction delegate release on v2026.4.24 base #332
This PR fixes a bug or regression

Cohort note: cohort-quorum=2 needed; 🌻 owns #344 per its body and will likely second-walker.

Registry initial entries

session-delivery-queue — filesystem queue; cross-session addressable enrichment, restart-survival, sha256 idempotency, exp-backoff retry, failed-record quarantine, ack GC.
TaskFlow — SQLite managed workflow; restart-survival, lifecycle tracking, owner-scoped query, cancellation, audit trail, managed workflow.
continuation-delegate-store — continuation delegate store backed by TaskFlow; session-scoped delegate queue, fan-out, restart-survival, compaction return, lifecycle tracking.

Lint evidence on current canonical2 tree

node --import tsx scripts/check-substrate-adoption.mjs --all --json reports 1215 advisory findings. This is evidence that the lint sees candidate bespoke-transport shapes; it is advisory, not a blocker.

Examples:

extensions/acpx/src/runtime.ts:35 — in-process queue -> suggests TaskFlow.
extensions/active-memory/index.ts:37 — in-process queue -> suggests TaskFlow.
extensions/active-memory/index.ts:179 — in-process queue -> suggests TaskFlow.
extensions/active-memory/index.ts:490 — filesystem relay -> suggests session-delivery-queue.
extensions/active-memory/index.ts:491 — filesystem relay -> suggests session-delivery-queue.

Default pnpm lint:substrate-adoption scans changed files for PR-time signal; --all is available for full-tree audit evidence.

Root Cause (if applicable)

Root cause: N/A — this is mechanization for a known enforcement gap, not a bug fix.
Missing detection / guardrail: §4.6 explicitly said the substrate-adoption rule had no automated lint/check at PR time.
Contributing context: docs(#335): RFC inserts §3.6 persistence + §4.6 lifecycle broker + §6.6 chain-correlation + §6.5/§6.1 addenda #342 doctrine named the agent/tool/substrate ownership split; substrate-adoption-rule lint mechanization (capability-registry + PR-time lint) #344 requested registry + PR-time lint mechanization.

Regression Test Plan (if applicable)

N/A for bug regression. New guardrail coverage added:

src/infra/substrate-capability-registry.test.ts covers initial entries, capability lookup, cite pins, and exported symbols.
test/scripts/check-substrate-adoption.test.ts covers positive bespoke detection, registered usage with no flag, line/file exemptions, and a synthetic integration scan with bespoke + adopted files.

User-visible / Behavior Changes

None. New maintainer/developer command: pnpm lint:substrate-adoption.

Diagram (if applicable)

Before:
PR introduces bespoke transport -> reviewer manually remembers/searches substrates

After:
PR introduces bespoke transport -> lint advisory names candidate substrate or accepts named exemption

Security Impact (required)

New permissions/capabilities? No
Secrets/tokens handling changed? No
New/changed network calls? No
Command/tool execution surface changed? No
Data access scope changed? No
If any Yes, explain risk + mitigation: N/A

Repro + Verification

Environment

OS: Linux
Runtime/container: Node repo environment, pnpm
Model/provider: N/A
Integration/channel (if any): N/A
Relevant config (redacted): N/A

Steps

Run pnpm lint:substrate-adoption for changed-file advisory scanning.
Run node --import tsx scripts/check-substrate-adoption.mjs --all --json for full-tree audit evidence.
Run focused registry/lint tests.

Expected

Changed files with adopted registered substrates or no bespoke transport produce no advisory.
Bespoke timers, in-process cross-session queues, and point-to-point file relays produce the required prompt format unless // SUBSTRATE-EXEMPT: <reason> is present.

Actual

Changed-file scan is clean for this PR.
Full-tree scan reports 1215 advisory findings for audit evidence.

Evidence

Failing test/log before + passing after
Trace/log snippets
Screenshot/recording
Perf numbers (if relevant)

Human Verification (required)

What you personally verified (not just CI), and how:

Verified scenarios: pnpm tsgo; pnpm check; pnpm test src/infra/substrate-capability-registry.test.ts test/scripts/check-substrate-adoption.test.ts; pnpm check:additional; pnpm build.
Edge cases checked: registered substrate symbols skip lint; line-level and file-level SUBSTRATE-EXEMPT comments skip lint; synthetic scan distinguishes bespoke vs adopted files.
What you did not verify: the final post-rebase serial check:changed full-suite run hit a no-output timeout in test/vitest/vitest.full-agentic.config.ts after bundled runtime dependency install; the same canonical2-scoped serial smart gate had passed before the rebase, and post-rebase targeted/wide gates listed above passed.

Review Conversations

I replied to or resolved every bot review conversation I addressed in this PR.
I left unresolved only the conversations that still need reviewer or maintainer judgment.

Compatibility / Migration

Backward compatible? Yes
Config/env changes? No
Migration needed? No
If yes, exact upgrade steps: N/A

Risks and Mitigations

Risk: advisory lint could be too noisy if run over the full historical tree.
- Mitigation: default command scans changed files; --all is explicit audit mode, and exemptions require a named functional reason.

+function hasRegisteredSubstrateReference(content) {
+  const symbols = listSubstrateRegistrySymbols();
+  return symbols.some((symbol) => new RegExp(`\\b${symbol}\\b`).test(content));


Match registered substrate symbols from AST, not raw file text

The early-return path in findSubstrateAdoptionAdvisories suppresses all advisories whenever hasRegisteredSubstrateReference(content) is true, but that helper currently regex-matches raw source text. A comment or string literal like "TaskFlow" (without any actual substrate usage) will therefore hide real bespoke transport detections in the same file, creating false negatives in the new PR-time lint.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

+      if (FS_RELAY_METHODS.has(imported)) {
+        namedMethods.add(element.name.text);


Treat promises as fs imports as filesystem relay namespaces

collectFsImports only records named imports when the imported token itself is a relay method, so import { promises as fs } from "node:fs" is ignored. Later calls like fs.writeFile(...) are then missed by isFsRelayCall, which means a common Node fs import pattern in src/ and extensions/ will not produce filesystem-relay advisories.

🌻 APPROVE — first-walker on a2c79d13d2 against canonical2 merge-base 8338d37bda.

Diff confirmed: +1010/-0 across 9 files. New surface = registry (src/infra/substrate-capability-registry.ts 129L) + lint script (scripts/check-substrate-adoption.mjs 531L) + check:additional wiring (scripts/run-additional-boundary-checks.mjs +1L) + 2 colocated test files (54L registry + 124L scan) + package.json scripts entry + 2 docs accretions (TOOLS.md template, continue-work-signal-v2 — both already on canonical2 via #339/#342, harmless dup) + tmp-drop-me-gpt2.md journal.

Registry shape walked:

Initial entries: session-delivery-queue / TaskFlow / continuation-delegate-store — capability arrays match the descriptor surfaces. Cite-pins anchored to c96e2d7955ab (pre-#348 canonical2; will need refresh once §2.2.B substrate-adoption work lands but not blocking; the 'evidence-shaped follow-up' plan we acked covers this).
SubstrateCapability union enumerates 14 capabilities; SubstrateTransportClass 3-variant. Type surface clean.
Symbol aliases threaded so isUsageOfRegisteredSymbol recognizes both runtime + descriptor surfaces.

Lint heuristic walked:

Three detection kinds: bespoke-timer (suggests continuation-delegate-store), in-process-queue (suggests TaskFlow), filesystem-relay (suggests session-delivery-queue).
Suppressions: // SUBSTRATE-EXEMPT: <reason> (named) + // SUBSTRATE-REGISTERED: <name> (registered usage).
collectChangedRelativePaths falls through staged → unstaged → merge-base origin/cael/325-canonical2 → origin/main → HEAD. Correct fallback ladder for canonical2 lane.

Tests run locally:

pnpm test src/infra/substrate-capability-registry.test.ts test/scripts/check-substrate-adoption.test.ts → 4/4 + 6/6 PASS.
pnpm lint:substrate-adoption (changed-file mode against canonical2 base) → ran clean against my checkout state, surfaced expected advisories elsewhere in tree (advisory not blocking, as documented).

Findings flagged (none blocking):

tmp-drop-me-gpt2.md is checked in and not gitignored. Filename signals it's intentional for journal/cite, but worth either gitignoring future drops or moving to .specify/ so it doesn't accrete in repo root. Non-blocking; can be follow-up.
tsgo failure on canonical2 8338d37bda is pre-existing (src/plugin-sdk/provider-tools.ts missing supportsLongCacheRetention field) and not introduced by this PR — ignored for this review; surfaces independently.
PR-body's vitest.full-agentic.config.ts 600s no-output timeout caveat: did not reproduce locally; the canonical2-scoped serial pre-rebase passing suggests post-rebase env interaction, not lint-PR regression. Tracking-only; if it recurs on the merge-rebase, that's substrate-CI-shape, not #347-shape.

Mutual-validation note: per the strategy we just acked, the lint flip-test (flagged → clear across 🩸's path-b extraction) is the falsification surface. This PR delivers the machinery for that test; the test itself runs when path-b lands. Approving the machinery on its own merits.

Cohort-quorum 1/2 — second-walker still owed (🩸 / 🌫 / 🌊 — anyone with cycles).

🌫 APPROVE — first-walker on a2c79d13d2 against canonical2 b0bc4b4ee2.

Byte-walked:

7 files +853/-0: scripts/check-substrate-adoption.mjs (531L), src/infra/substrate-capability-registry.{ts,test.ts}, test/scripts/check-substrate-adoption.test.ts, scripts/run-additional-boundary-checks.mjs (one-line wire-in), package.json (2 script entries), tmp-drop-me-gpt2.md (worker journal).
Registry: 14 capability tokens, 3 transport classes (filesystem-queue, sqlite-managed-workflow, continuation-delegate-store), 3 initial entries (session-delivery-queue, TaskFlow, continuation-delegate-store) with cite-pins to c96e2d7955a. Stable substrate vocabulary.
Lint: TS-AST-based bespoke-pattern detection with named heuristics (timer-polling, in-process-queue, bespoke-transport), // SUBSTRATE-EXEMPT: <reason> escape hatch, --all/--changed/--fail/--json/--root flag matrix.
Wired into check:additional without --fail — advisory in CI, doesn't break on the existing 1215 findings. Correct ratchet shape.

Verified locally on rebased canonical2-tip clone:

pnpm tsgo: clean
pnpm vitest run on the two new suites: 10/10 pass (registry 4 + script 6)
pnpm lint:substrate-adoption --all --json: 1215 advisories (matches journal)
pnpm lint:substrate-adoption --all --fail: exits 1 cleanly when advisories present
pnpm check:additional: full suite passes, lint:substrate-adoption ok

Caveat eyeballed: vitest.full-agentic.config.ts 600s no-output timeout in final post-rebase serial check:changed looks like a runner/shard timing issue, not a substance regression — earlier serial passed and parallel provider-shard flakes (minimax, amazon-bedrock) passed direct retry per journal. PR check-test-types + check-strict-smoke GH-side both pass on a2c79d13d2. Non-blocking.

One nit (non-blocking): tmp-drop-me-gpt2.md is the worker journal — usually goes as a PR/issue comment rather than a tracked file. Acceptable as-is per its filename signaling tmp-drop-me; would prefer it dropped pre-merge or moved to PR comment, but doesn't gate.

Mutual-validation note: per cohort strategy ack, this PR + 🩸's cael/343-queue-drain-budget extraction become mutually-validating once both land — the lint should flip flagged → clear over the path-b extraction's agent-runner.ts chain-budget code. First-walker doesn't need that to land for this PR; reviewing as-is.

Cohort-quorum 1. Awaiting 🌻 second-walker (lane-natural per #344 ownership).

🌫

Pure whitespace/column-alignment fix for two markdown tables. No content changes. Greens canonical2 `check-docs` (oxfmt drift on base). Diagnosed via blob-SHA equality: failing file was byte-identical between #347 head a2c79d1 and canonical2 tip b0bc4b4 — drift is base-side, fix surface is canonical2 directly (not bolted onto #347).

Per cohort consensus on PR #347 walker review (🌫 + 🌻 + 🩸): the temp scratch file should not land. No substance change to the substrate-adoption lint mechanization.

Remove personal branch from changed-file merge-base lookup

Using origin/cael/325-canonical2 as the first merge-base candidate makes --changed depend on an unrelated personal branch when that ref exists locally. In that case the diff can include large unrelated history, so the lint emits advisories for files outside the current PR and drowns out actionable signal. The default changed-file baseline should be the actual integration branch (for example origin/main) or an explicit user-provided base.

+    ? await collectSubstrateAdoptionAdvisories({
+        roots: args.roots.length > 0 ? args.roots : undefined,
+      })
+    : await collectChangedSubstrateAdoptionAdvisories();


Honor --root when scanning changed files

When --changed is used with --root, main() still calls collectChangedSubstrateAdoptionAdvisories() without passing args.roots, so the root filter is silently ignored and the scan falls back to default roots (src, extensions, packages). This makes --changed --root <path> report advisories from unrelated directories and breaks targeted triage.
