R4.2 P2 Compact Interface Map Runtime

Purpose

The persistent Online Agent already supports the canonical read-only source_capture action, but its SourceCaptureExecutor always returns an aios.engineering.source-snapshot.v2 tar.gz+base64 payload. That is correct for implementation source transfer, but too large for control-plane consumers that only need a bounded implementation map.

P2 adds a new adapter, not a new execution action:

action=source_capture
adapter=compact_interface_map

This preserves the existing execution-v2 schema and Bridge policy:

  • read-only repository;
  • no change set;
  • no verification commands;
  • writer_lease=false;
  • no branch or commit;
  • existing capability and execution-digest validation.

Compact map contract

aios_online_agent_compact_map.py scans only approved repository roots and source suffixes. It returns:

  • at most 40 relevant modules;
  • at most 80 selected Python symbols in total;
  • at most 40 test symbols;
  • at most 25 excerpts;
  • at most 1200 characters per excerpt;
  • SQL table names;
  • systemd unit names;
  • current invariants, failure windows and reuse points;
  • P2 fleet contract-to-surface mappings.

The result is hard-bounded to 120 KiB and contains no source archive or payload_b64.

Source excerpts apply a conservative sensitive-pattern redaction before result construction.

P2 contracts

The map supplies evidence surfaces for:

  • FLEET_AGENT_REGISTRATION
  • FLEET_CAPACITY_SCHEDULING
  • FLEET_FAIRNESS
  • FLEET_FAULT_ISOLATION
  • FLEET_WORKER_REASSIGNMENT
  • FLEET_SCOPE_ISOLATION
  • FLEET_IDEMPOTENT_DISPATCH
  • FLEET_FAILURE_RECOVERY

Missing first-class scheduling/fleet primitives are reported as gaps rather than invented.

Result

When the adapter is selected, the worker returns:

status=SUCCEEDED
classification=P2_INTERFACE_MAP_CAPTURED
execution_mode=compact_interface_map
writer_lease=NONE

The existing source_capture_done / P1 checkpoint/retry path is reused, so the compact analysis inherits attempt-aware result idempotency and restart-safe result submission.

Governance

This capability is runtime infrastructure only. The implementation candidate may use a governed branch/WriterLease for its own code change, but any task executed through compact_interface_map is read-only and must not create a WriterLease, branch, commit, protected-ref write, or Production side effect.
