Backup Reviewer Candidate — Integration (agent plugins) + Bot

[ktz03]

Request: Backup Reviewer Candidate — Integration (agent plugins) + Bot

Following CONTRIBUTING's maintainer map / contributor path (former #1082), I'd like to volunteer as a Backup Reviewer Candidate for:

Subarea	Why
Integration / Agent plugins & MCP (examples/*-memory-plugin, pending-queue, DSH/Pi/OpenCode/Claude/Codex hosts)	Sustained authorship + CI work on shared pending-queue / batch replay (e.g. #4714 and earlier plugin PRs)
Integration / Bot (bot streaming / SRT paths)	First-pass reviews in this area

I am not asking for merge rights. Goal is to take Integration first-pass load so primary reviewers (t0saki, ZaynJarvis, Bot contacts) can focus on final review.

Demonstrated first-pass activity (recent)

PR	Area	Outcome / note
#5346	DSH MCP recall scope	Merged after first-pass
#5341	OpenCode v2	Merged after first-pass
#5353	Hermes non-primary agent	Merged after first-pass
#5274	Bot SRT UTF-8	Open; first-pass LGTM, CI green
#5393	DSH permanent write warnings	First-pass LGTM
#5391	Hermes recall timeout warn	First-pass LGTM
#5384	Claude skipSubagentSessions	First-pass LGTM
#5368	Pi exclude_uris / filters	Flagged plugin-versions bump needed
#5313	profile-inject failure logs	Requested host log wiring

Happy to keep doing focused Integration first-passes. Please advise the preferred onboarding step if Backup Reviewer still applies after #1082 closed.

Activity update (Backup Reviewer track)

Continued Integration first-pass load since the request above:

PR	Area	Note
#5313	profile-inject + host loggers	Re-reviewed twice; agent-hook gap closed; LGTM on 8d25f53
#5368	Pi exclude_uris / filters	Version bump cleared; LGTM
#5393	DSH permanent write warnings	First-pass LGTM
#5391	Hermes recall timeout	First-pass LGTM
#5384	Claude skipSubagentSessions	First-pass LGTM
#5254	DSH compaction/start commit	First-pass LGTM (just posted)
#5274	Bot SRT UTF-8	Still open; earlier first-pass LGTM

Authorship: #4714 remains green/MERGEABLE on latest main (efca436c, pending-queue batch replay).

Still volunteering as Backup Reviewer for Integration (agent plugins / MCP) + Bot — happy for maintainer guidance on next formal step.

Three new Integration first-pass reviews (2026-09-28):

PR / reviewed head	Verified / remaining gate
#5407 / 5f86f430	Claude/Codex resolved exclusions reach the context-search request; new request-body cases pass in Actions. Existing OpenCode retention test remains the plugin CI failure.
#5408 / 52d0f309	Bounded wait observes the actual atomic state-file replacement and keeps all retention assertions. Plugin checks pass; filesystem API DELETE/409 failure remains red.
#5236 / 84cf8ad3	Parent/proxy diagnostic mapping and legacy override verified. Requested rebase and a fresh DSH bump because the branch conflicts and its 0.5.3 is behind main 0.5.8.

These passes used GitHub diffs, shared call-chain inspection and existing Actions logs; no local suite was run.

Authorship: #4714 was rebased online onto b22332c4 as 9d933116, reusing the pending-queue functional blobs and synchronizing host manifests, Claude package metadata and LF locks. plugin-tests and plugin-versions pass on the new head.

Integration collaboration scope and next onboarding step

I would like to work toward long-term maintainer responsibilities in Integration / Agent memory plugins, starting with a focused first-pass review and issue-reproduction scope: capture/commit reliability, session-ID propagation, cleanup/compaction boundaries, and startup context. Bot/proxy context propagation is adjacent experience; this request's primary scope is the memory plugins.

My accepted contributions include three plugin changes: #4608 (per-session flush failure isolation), #4643 (DSH pre-step profile/recall concurrency), and #4702 (Pi watermark and bounded backlog drain). The adjacent Bot/proxy work is #4650, #4848, and #4866. These are six Integration changes among nine merged PRs in this repository. The pending replay PR #4714 is outside this proposed trial scope.

Two new, AI-assisted first-pass reviews include local Windows validation and compare against current main df32bf6e, rather than relying on older green checks:

• #5522 / 50b825ca: 94 plugin tests and 21 shared contract tests passed, with one live-recall test skipped. Actual Windows directory/file checks and fake-client runtime ID propagation passed. Packaging includes the new helper. I reproduced a release blocker: the current-main version check fails because both main and the PR are 0.5.13; I requested a current-base update and a fresh synchronized version.
• #5254 / 45c89073: 110 plugin tests and nine generator tests passed, with one live-recall test skipped. The scoped runtime pass found no further blocker, but current main produces seven merge conflicts and the PR version 0.5.12 is behind main 0.5.13. I requested conflict resolution, a fresh version, and verification of the resulting head. Real DSH compaction writeback remains author-provided evidence.

These are COMMENT reviews for the authors and maintainers to act on; they do not replace the final maintainer review. The reviews disclose the local test scope and skipped live validation.

@t0saki @ZaynJarvis — could you help route a small trial batch of plugin issues/PRs for first-pass support, or identify a mentor for this scope? My goal is to take a concrete share of reproduction, regression verification, and author follow-up work.

I checked the current contribution guide. The earlier growth table from #1082 is no longer in it, and I could not find a published reviewer/maintainer nomination procedure. Please confirm the current onboarding/nomination path, who can sponsor it, and what evidence or responsibilities are needed before formal reviewer or maintainer recognition. I am continuing in this existing discussion rather than opening another application.
