merge: resolve conflicts between main and PR #129 (activate-cognitive-systems) by Copilot · Pull Request #130 · Steake/GodelOS

Copilot · 2026-03-08T07:16:21Z

Description

PR #129 branched before PR #128 (dormant modules) landed on main, leaving backend/unified_server.py with two content conflicts. Both are resolved by retaining all changes from both sides.

Conflict 1 — lifespan shutdown block

Kept: _dormant_ticker_task cancellation (from main/PR feat: Implement SelfModificationEngine with REST API (issue #95) #128)
Added: observatory stop + hot-reloader stop (from PR feat: Implement Steps 4-8 of cognitive roadmap (Issues #93, #82, #81, #84, #97) #129)

Conflict 2 — system API endpoints

Kept: GET /api/system/dormant-modules (from main/PR feat: Implement SelfModificationEngine with REST API (issue #95) #128)
Added: GET /api/system/knowledge-persistence + POST /api/system/knowledge-persistence/reload (from PR feat: Implement Steps 4-8 of cognitive roadmap (Issues #93, #82, #81, #84, #97) #129)

Scoping fix — _hot_reloader was declared after lifespan with no global statement, so the knowledge-persistence endpoints always read None. Fixed by hoisting the declaration above lifespan and adding it to the global list:

# Before lifespan()
_hot_reloader = None

@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    global startup_time, self_modification_engine, _hot_reloader  # ← added

Playwright CI fix — Added missing svelte-frontend/scripts/preflight.js referenced by playwright.config.js as globalSetup. Its absence caused CI to fail with Cannot find module './scripts/preflight.js'. The file exports a no-op async setup function, unblocking Playwright test execution.

Review feedback fixes — Applied all issues raised in the automated code review:

GODELOS_ONTOLOGY_DIR default in the knowledge-persistence status endpoint changed from "./ontologies" to "", matching the lifespan behaviour so the endpoint does not report a watch directory that is not active.
Corrected misleading docstring on POST /api/system/knowledge-persistence/reload — removed the false claim that the response includes triple counts; the actual response is {"status": "reload_triggered", "watch_dir": ...}.
get_breakthroughs() in consciousness_emergence_detector.py now reads only the tail of the log file (limit × 2 KiB from EOF) instead of loading the entire breakthroughs.jsonl into memory, keeping memory usage O(limit) as the log grows.
Fixed a bug in _score_coherence (autonomous_goal_engine.py) where an early return 0.5 on a partial domain match prevented later domains from being checked for a full joint match. The partial-match result is now deferred until all domains have been evaluated.
Removed unused imports (time, tempfile, Path, AsyncMock, MagicMock) from tests/backend/test_autonomous_goal_engine.py.

Title: Add missing scripts/preflight.js to fix Playwright global setup error

Problem statement:
The Playwright configuration (svelte-frontend/playwright.config.js) references a globalSetup script at svelte-frontend/scripts/preflight.js. The recent CI run failed with the following error:

Error: Cannot find module './scripts/preflight.js'
Require stack:

.../svelte-frontend/playwright.config.js

To resolve this, add a basic placeholder preflight.js file exporting an async setup function. This will unblock Playwright test execution while allowing future customization as needed.

Example content for svelte-frontend/scripts/preflight.js:

// svelte-frontend/scripts/preflight.js
module.exports = async () => {
  // Custom setup before Playwright tests run
};

Add this file, commit, and I shall re-run the workflow. Proceed.

...

Added svelte-frontend/scripts/preflight.js in commit 49810ff. The file exports an async no-op setup function exactly as specified, which satisfies playwright.config.js's globalSetup: require.resolve('./scripts/preflight.js') reference.

Pull request overview

This PR resolves merge conflicts between main (which includes PR #128 — dormant modules and self-modification engine) and PR #129 (activate cognitive systems: autonomous goal engine, consciousness observatory, knowledge persistence). Both sets of changes are retained, with a scoping fix for _hot_reloader (hoisted to module scope with global declaration in lifespan).

Changes:

Merges PR #129 features (consciousness observatory, autonomous goal engine, breakthrough log, knowledge persistence/hot-reload endpoints, and new dashboard tabs) alongside PR #128 features (dormant module ticker, self-modification engine) in unified_server.py's lifespan and shutdown blocks.
Adds new backend modules (autonomous_goal_engine.py, UnifiedConsciousnessObservatory in consciousness_emergence_detector.py) and REST endpoints for goals, breakthroughs, observatory, and knowledge persistence.
Extends the Svelte UnifiedConsciousnessDashboard with three new tabs (Autonomous Goals, Breakthrough Log, Subsystem Health) and adds PAT documentation to CONTRIBUTING.md.

backend/unified_server.py

+        import os
+        backend = os.environ.get("KNOWLEDGE_STORE_BACKEND", "memory")
+        store_path = os.environ.get("KNOWLEDGE_STORE_PATH", "./data/chroma")
+        ontology_dir = os.environ.get("GODELOS_ONTOLOGY_DIR", "./ontologies")


Inconsistent default for GODELOS_ONTOLOGY_DIR: In lifespan (line 697), the default is "" (empty string), so the hot reloader is not initialized when the env var is unset. But here the default is "./ontologies", which will be displayed to the API consumer even when the env var isn't set and the reloader isn't active. This is misleading — the endpoint shows a directory that nobody is actually watching. Use "" as the default here too (matching the lifespan behaviour), or explicitly show that it's unset.

Suggested change

ontology_dir = os.environ.get("GODELOS_ONTOLOGY_DIR", "./ontologies")

ontology_dir = os.environ.get("GODELOS_ONTOLOGY_DIR", "")

+            return []
+        try:
+            lines = self._log_path.read_text(encoding="utf-8").splitlines()


read_text() reads the entire breakthroughs.jsonl file into memory before iterating in reverse, even when only a small limit (e.g. 10) is requested. As the log grows over time this will become increasingly expensive. Consider reading the file backwards (e.g. using seek from the end) or capping file size with rotation, so that fetching a small number of recent breakthroughs doesn't require loading the entire history.

+        await loop.run_in_executor(None, _hot_reloader.reload)
+        return {"status": "reload_triggered", "watch_dir": _hot_reloader.watch_dir}


The docstring states "Returns the number of triples added/removed", but the actual response is {"status": "reload_triggered", "watch_dir": ...} which does not include any triple counts. Either update the docstring to match the actual response, or capture the return value from _hot_reloader.reload() and include the counts in the response.

+        for domain in _DOMAIN_TAGS:
+            a_match = any(t in a_lower for t in domain)
+            b_match = any(t in b_lower for t in domain)

+            if a_match or b_match:
+                return 0.5  # partial domain overlap


Bug in _score_coherence: The early return on partial match (a_match or b_match) on line 418 prevents checking later domains. If concept a matches in domain 0 but concept b only matches in domain 1 (where both should score 0.8 for that domain), the function returns 0.5 prematurely.

For example, _score_coherence("quantum leap", "cognitive bias") would return 0.5 because "quantum" matches domain 0, but "cognitive" doesn't match domain 0 — so it returns 0.5 before reaching domain 1 where "cognitive" matches. But both concepts could still match domain 1 (cognitive/mind), and should score 0.8 for that domain.

The fix is to first check all domains for a joint match (both a and b), and only then check for partial matches.

Suggested change

for domain in _DOMAIN_TAGS:

a_match = any(t in a_lower for t in domain)

b_match = any(t in b_lower for t in domain)

if a_match and b_match:

return 0.8 # same domain → coherent

if a_match or b_match:

return 0.5 # partial domain overlap

for domain in _DOMAIN_TAGS:

if a_match and b_match:

return 0.8 # same domain → coherent

if a_match or b_match:

any_partial = True # remember partial domain overlap

if any_partial:

return 0.5 # at least one partial domain overlap

Applied all review comments in commit 9082578:

GODELOS_ONTOLOGY_DIR default — changed from "./ontologies" to "" so the status endpoint reflects the same "not active" semantics as lifespan.
Reload docstring — updated to accurately describe the actual response ({"status": "reload_triggered", "watch_dir": ...}) rather than the old triple-count claim.
get_breakthroughs() memory — replaced read_text() + full reverse-iterate with a bounded tail-read (limit * 2048 bytes from EOF), keeping memory usage O(limit) regardless of log size.
_score_coherence bug — deferred the partial-match return 0.5 until after all domains have been checked, so a full domain match in a later domain is never missed.
Unused imports — removed time, tempfile, Path, AsyncMock, MagicMock from the test file.

All 31 tests still pass.
