What / why

A persona on the generic engine had no server-side route to receive a stored prompt graph: the invocation builder attached promptGraph only inside the EXPERT branch. So the declarative graph support merged in virtual-contributor#122 (conditional edges, retrieve/echo nodes, the shipped workshop payload) was live but unreachable through configuration.

This adds a PROMPT_GRAPH_ENGINES allowlist covering expert + generic-openai, new GraphQL authoring fields for the node/edge forms, an activation guide, and the workshop authoring fixture.

Closes #6385. Spec: workspace#053-generic-prompt-graph.

What actually changed in production code

Most of the diff is tests and docs, but three source files change existing behaviour — worth reading rather than skimming:

ai.persona.resolver.mutations.ts — the aiServerUpdateAiPersona body was restructured, not extended. The fetch and the authorization check moved inside a try, an audit call was added on both the success and failure paths, and a constructor dependency was added. The authorization check is unchanged in substance and still runs before any update: same grantAccessOrFail, same AuthorizationPrivilege.UPDATE, same policy object, same position relative to the mutation — only its enclosing block moved. That is the property to verify when reviewing this hunk, and it is why the restructure is called out here instead of being described as an addition.

ai.persona.service.ts — two conditions changed. input.engine === AiPersonaEngine.EXPERT became PROMPT_GRAPH_ENGINES.includes(input.engine); that is the feature. A second condition was tightened: if (!invocationGraph) became if (!invocationGraph && input.engine === AiPersonaEngine.EXPERT), deliberately keeping the default-graph fallback expert-only so a generic persona with no stored graph produces no promptGraph key at all rather than inheriting expert's default.

prompt.graph.node.dto.ts / prompt.graph.edge.dto.ts / ai.persona.dto.update.ts add nullable fields; the only removal is an import line being widened.

Genuinely additive: every new test file, the docs, and the fixture. No pre-existing test was modified or deleted (git diff origin/develop..HEAD -- '**/*.spec.ts' | grep -c '^-' = 0), and the GraphQL schema delta is additive — 21 added, 0 breaking.

Decisions worth reviewing

  • The story said "GENERIC"; there is no such enum value. It is AiPersonaEngine.GENERIC_OPENAI (generic-openai) — the routing key bound to the virtual-contributor-engine-generic queue.
  • The allowlist deliberately excludes guidance, openai-assistant, libra-flow, community-manager: widening requires engine-side graph execution first. A future enum value defaults to not attaching.
  • No validation of the graph/body-of-knowledge pairing. bodyOfKnowledgeID is per-invocation from the VC, not stored on the persona, so the server cannot validate it. A retrieve-bearing graph on a BoK-less persona hard-fails at engine parse time and the member sees the standard error response — a documented precondition, not a defect.
  • No migration: ai_persona.promptGraph jsonb already existed engine-independently.
  • Expert behaviour is byte-identical in all three modes (stored / default / none).

Evidence

  • 8170 tests pass / 711 files. Lint, typecheck, build clean.
  • AiPersonaInvocationInput remains absent from schema.graphql (count 0).
  • The authoring fixture parses through the actual merged VC engine parser (2920c83): 8 nodes, 2 conditional edges, state model built.

Review round (8 findings, all fixed, 0 declined)

Two independent reviewers on different providers found non-overlapping defects:

Security (verdict was conditional, now remediated):

  • aiServerUpdateAiPersona wrote no audit record — a global admin could change the graph governing prompts, retrieval and member output with no attributable trace. Now audits success and failure with actor / persona / engine / promptGraphChanged only; never the graph, prompt text or credentials (SOC 2 CC7.2·CC7.3, ISO A.8.15·A.8.16). This is what motivated the resolver restructure described above.
  • The activation guide didn't disclose that retrieve nodes send body-of-knowledge content to the external model provider; it now requires a data-classification check before activation.
  • edge.map was an unbounded JSON scalar → now bounded (string→string, 100 entries, 128 chars per key/value). Structural limits only; graph semantics stay the engine's job.

Correctness — two of these were caught by mutating the production code and watching the tests stay green:

  • The round-trip test was tautological: the mocked repository assigns by reference, so it compared an object to itself. Gutting the transformer left it passing. It now crosses the transformer/JSON seam against a separately constructed object.
  • The matrix's expert-default row asserted only toBeDefined() — replacing the default graph with {nodes:[],edges:[]} kept it 7/7 green. It now asserts real graph content.
  • schema.graphql had been hand-authored, including a fabricated description for the JSON scalar and wrong field ordering (~80 lines of divergence from the generator). Regenerated with the repo's own tooling and committed verbatim; this also picks up a pre-existing description drift on develop.

Full evidence ledger: specs/053-generic-prompt-graph/forge-run.md in the workspace repo.

Activation (after merge)

Store the payload on a generic persona via aiServerUpdateAiPersona — see docs/prompt-graphs.md, which covers the walkthrough, the body-of-knowledge precondition, the provider-egress check, and the per-top-level-key merge behaviour (send promptGraph: null first for a clean replace).

A persona on the generic engine had no server-side route to receive a
stored prompt graph: the invocation builder attached promptGraph only
inside the EXPERT branch, so the declarative graph support merged in
virtual-contributor#122 was live but unreachable through configuration.

Adds a PROMPT_GRAPH_ENGINES allowlist covering expert and generic-openai.
The expert-only default fallback is unchanged, and a generic persona with
no stored graph still produces a message with no promptGraph key at all.
The allowlist deliberately excludes guidance, openai-assistant, libra-flow
and community-manager: widening requires engine-side graph execution first.

Schema gains additive authoring fields only (retrieve/echo node types and
conditional edges); AiPersonaInvocationInput stays absent from the public
schema. No migration — ai_persona.promptGraph jsonb already existed
engine-independently.

… real tests

Security (Codex Sol, verdict conditional):
- F-01: aiServerUpdateAiPersona now writes a success/failure operational audit
  record — actor, persona, engine, promptGraphChanged only; never the graph,
  prompt text or credentials (SOC 2 CC7.2/CC7.3, ISO A.8.15/A.8.16).
- F-03: edge.map is bounded — string->string object, 100 entries, 128 chars per
  key/value. Structural limits only; graph semantics stay the engine's job.
- F-02/F-04: the activation guide now states that a retrieve-bearing graph sends
  body-of-knowledge content to the external model provider (classification and
  processing basis must permit it), and that a misconfigured retrieve graph fails
  every invocation until corrected.

Correctness (Claude Opus, mutation-verified):
- schema.graphql is regenerated by the repo's own generator instead of
  hand-authored: the previous file carried a fabricated JSON scalar description
  and wrong field ordering. Also corrects pre-existing description drift.
- The round-trip test now crosses the transformer/JSON seam and compares against
  a separately constructed object. It previously compared a mocked object to
  itself and passed even with the transformer gutted.
- The matrix's expert-default row asserts real graph content; it previously
  asserted only toBeDefined() and passed with an empty default graph.
- Documented that promptGraph merges per top-level key, so omitted keys are
  retained; send null first for a clean replace.

Walkthrough

The PR adds prompt-graph GraphQL contracts and validation, documents activation, adds a workshop-design authoring graph, forwards graphs to Expert and Generic OpenAI engines, and audits persona updates.

Changes

Prompt graph activation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prompt graph contracts and validation
schema.graphql, src/services/ai-server/prompt-graph/dto/*, src/services/ai-server/ai-persona/dto/ai.persona.dto.update.ts
GraphQL types and DTOs support conditional edges, retrieve and echo nodes, nested validation, and constrained routing maps.
Workshop-design authoring graph
docs/prompt-graphs/workshop-design.authoring.json, docs/prompt-graphs.md
The authoring graph validates workshop input, asks follow-up questions, retrieves knowledge, and generates or refines Markdown designs. The documentation describes activation, storage, retrieval, and payload conversion.
Engine prompt-graph attachment
src/services/ai-server/ai-persona/ai.persona.service.ts, src/services/ai-server/ai-persona/ai.persona.service.spec.ts, test/integration/ai-persona-prompt-graph/prompt-graph-attachment.spec.ts
Prompt graphs are forwarded to Expert and Generic OpenAI engines. Tests cover stored graphs, the Expert default graph, overrides, unsupported engines, and graph transformation.
Persona update audit trail
src/services/ai-server/ai-persona/ai.persona.module.ts, src/services/ai-server/ai-persona/ai.persona.resolver.mutations.ts, src/services/ai-server/ai-persona/ai.persona.resolver.mutations.audit.spec.ts
Persona updates record sanitized success or failure audit operations and rethrow update errors.
