IP-SCP-40.40: Retire the AgentOps room

Operator decision (2026-09-23, verbatim)

“that old room with all of the pannels and junk, that one needs to get removed cause it’s taking valuable time testing and it’ll never be used”

The Control Room is the product room. Workspace-AgentOps and its boot path are retired. This supersedes the CLAUDE.md line “AgentOps stays the default until IP-SCP-40.31 passes”: the operator has made that call directly, and 40.31’s re-staging no longer gates the switch.

Scope change (2026-09-23, same day, verbatim)

“I would like to be able to retain all the prefabs and assets. just that scene can go away with the walls of text as well.”

This narrows the removal to the scene. Only these go away:

• the AgentOps scene and its boot scene;
• the scene-level composition that puts walls of text panels around the user;
• the profile, gate and test machinery that exists only to build, boot or exercise that scene.

Everything else stays. That covers every prefab, material, model/FBX, ScriptableObject and content asset, every Addressables group, entry and catalog key, every asset or prefab family builder and kit, every script a retained prefab or asset references, and the engine-free core. A retained prefab must never end up with a missing script. This supersedes the removal breadth of the original §1 and §3. The first survey (commit abaf4eeb) proposed deleting prefabs, assets and core, and it is replaced below.

Operator decisions (2026-09-23)

• Q1: yes. Move ScpPerfSampler and ScpTrackingTelemetry into the Control Room boot in chunk A. The Control Room boot must then emit [SCP-PERF] (see Acceptance). The debug HUD family was not part of this answer. It stays in (a), marked “confirm” (Q1b).
• Q2: keep MR capture. Move ScpMrCaptureController and ScpMrCaptureRefusalPanel (plus the core MrCaptureGate) into the Control Room boot in chunk A. ScpMrCaptureControllerTests is kept.

Evidence

In the 2026-09-23 full EditMode run (1,097 tests, shared Editor), the only two failures were AgentOps-room tests:

• ScpOfflineWorkspaceIntegrationTests.FullDemoSeatsPartsAndForgesATemplate, “Canceled startup”, 60 s timeout;
• CompactThoughtInspectionViewTests…RealContentHandle…, Addressables load, 30 s timeout.

The offline-workspace integration suite alone runs at about 50–60 s per test while the Editor is unfocused. It dominates R2 wall time and has a known timing-flake history.

Scope

1. Survey first. Classify every AgentOps item into one of three groups. Nothing is deleted until this survey is committed as a table in this note.

• Scene-only (remove): Workspace-AgentOps.unity, Bootstrap.unity, and the boot and composition code whose only job is building or booting that scene. That is the entry point, composition, binder and reconciler, and the offline runtimes, but only where no retained prefab or asset references them. Also the CI and tool gates that require the scene, and the EditMode suites whose purpose is booting or exercising it.
• Retained: every prefab or asset, and every script a prefab or asset needs, including the builders and kits that author them. Kits, core models, the Fleet Shelf binding and furniture, the orb family, supervision sinks, ScpGraphRootAnchor and XR-Rig stay working for the Control Room and the gym.
• Dead code with no asset dependents: list only. Removal is proposed only when the code is purely scene wiring.

2. Build profile.

• SCP_WORKSPACE_PROFILE defaults to ControlRoom. The AgentOps value becomes an unknown value, which fails closed.
• EditorBuildSettings and tools/verify-workspace-scene.py stop requiring AgentOps.
• The CI gates (ci.yml static gates, build-and-publish-apk.yml inputs) and tools/build-install-launch.ps1 are updated.
• build-manifest.json records ControlRoom.

3. Remove the scene-only set in the short chunk sequence of Survey (f). After each chunk:

• R1 green;
• the Unity compile is clean. Read Logs/Editor.log for error CS. The MCP compile-errors tool gave a false 0 on 2026-09-23;
• the gym and Control Room builders’ read-backs are OK;
• verify-gym-scene.py and verify-workspace-scene.py --scene Workspace-ControlRoom pass;
• verify-prefab-roots.py passes, and no retained prefab has a missing script;
• full EditMode is green.

4. Docs. Update the project CLAUDE.md (AgentOps references, the default-profile line, and the scene list in “Never read .unity”) and README.md. Record the retirement in the S27 README and in [[Trackers/Spatial-Execution-Tracker]]. Any vault IP whose sole deliverable is AgentOps-room composition is re-scoped or closed, each with a one-line reason.

Out of scope

• Every prefab and asset, and the scripts, builders and kits behind them. This is the operator’s 2026-09-23 scope change.
• All engine-free core, including the models only AgentOps used.
• The asset gym: it stays; it’s the inspection surface.

Acceptance

• There is no AgentOps scene, boot path or build profile. A ControlRoom-profile APK builds (R4 build only).
• Every prefab and asset present at 94f77ab still exists, with no missing-script references. Check this with verify-prefab-roots.py, plus a before/after file-list diff of Assets/**/*.{prefab,asset,mat,fbx,anim} that must be empty.
• The Control Room boot emits [ScpComposition] VERIFY=OK and [SCP-PERF] frame and GPU lines, and the tracking telemetry and MR capture are wired (operator decisions Q1 and Q2). Read these from the R3-link editor log first, then from the R4 device session log. The [SCP-PERF] figures themselves stay R4-only.
• Full EditMode runs green with measurably lower wall time. Record before and after.
• The Control Room and gym are unchanged in the headset. This is an R3-link spot check with the operator.

Survey (2026-09-23, revised for the scene-only scope)

Ref surveyed: spatial-cognition-xr @ 94f77ab (session/controlroom-pairing-20260922). The survey was read-only: a git archive of that ref, with no checkout and no Unity.

Method. Two graphs.

1. Asset graph. Every .meta GUID was resolved to a path. Every YAML asset was scanned for guid: and m_AssetGUID: references.
2. C# type graph. Comments and string literals were stripped. Each file then got an edge to every file that declares a top-level type it names.

Retained roots:

• (i) every script referenced by any asset except the two AgentOps scenes and the legacy source scene;
• (ii) everything the Control Room, gym, build and infra, and the self-installing globals reach;
• (iii) every editor file that authors an asset (SaveAsPrefabAsset, CreateAsset, CreateOrMoveEntry), 44 files in all;
• (iv) every production file the scene seed does not reach.

Scene seed: ScpSceneBootstrap, ScpWorkspaceSceneEntryPoint, ScpWorkspaceComposition, and the pure scene composers (ScpOfflineWorkspaceBuilder, ScpOfflineControlBuilder, ScpOfflineGraphBuilder, ScpOfflineWorkspacePreview, ScpCompositionWiring, ScpHandoffAcceptanceBuilder, ScpOfflineWorkspaceWalkthrough).

How “scene-only” was decided. A file is scene-only if the seed reaches it and the retained closure, blocked at the seed, does not. The closure is blocked at the seed so that every retained-to-seed edge shows up as a cut to make.

Sanity check. The survey counts 1,098 EditMode tests, which matches the 1,097 in the evidence run.

Totals

Blockers (a retained prefab or asset whose script is scene-only): none. No retained prefab, ScriptableObject or Addressables entry references any script in (a).

The one asset-level caveat is not a prefab. Scp/Legacy/Scenes/SpatialCognition.unity is the source scene that ScpAdditiveSceneBuilder splits into XR-Rig, and it carries ScpSceneBootstrap and ScpWorkspaceSceneEntryPoint components. Deleting those scripts would leave two missing-script components in that source scene. The fix is in chunk D: trim ScpAdditiveSceneBuilder to XR-Rig only, and strip the two components from the legacy scene in the same PR.

(a) Scene-only (remove)

(b) Retained

Assets. Every prefab, material, model, animation, audio file, ScriptableObject and fixture is retained, and so are all 7 Addressables groups and all 40 ScpSceneContentCatalog keys. After chunk D they are no longer loaded at runtime by any room. The gym census (ScpGymAssetManifest) still lists and inspects them.

Code. All 44 asset-authoring builders are retained, including ScpOfflineShelfBuilder, ScpS14RegistrationBuilder, ScpOfflineFoundryBuilder, ScpOfflineDispatchBuilder, ScpOfflineThoughtPrefabBuilder, ScpSpecializedViewBuilder, ScpDemoStageProfileBuilder, the Edge/NodePanel/Handoff/Reasoning/TemplateCard/CaseFile/WorkToken builders, and the AgentOrb and supervision authors. So is every script a prefab carries (for example ScpOfflineThoughtRuntime on PF_OfflineThoughtWorkspace and PF_CompactThoughtInspection), every kit, and the whole engine-free core.

Retained but no longer wired. The runtimes the retained builders pin stay in the tree with no scene composing them:

• ScpOfflineGraphRuntime
• ScpOfflineFoundryRuntime
• ScpOfflineDispatchRuntime
• ScpOfflineEmbodimentRuntime
• ScpShelfRuntime
• ScpHandoffRuntime
• ScpSpecializedViewRenderer
• ScpDemoStage

Retained files that need a cut before or with the deletion:

(c) Dead code with no asset dependents (list only; not proposed for removal)

(d) Tests

Remove: 22 suites / 115 tests. These either test a scene-only subject or boot and exercise the AgentOps scene. Removing ScpOfflineWorkspaceIntegrationTests removes the 50–60 s-per-test suite and evidence failure 1.

• Scene-exercising: ScpOfflineWorkspaceIntegrationTests (5), ScpSceneBootstrapLifecycleTests (4), ScpSceneEntryPointWiringTests (9), ScpCompositionVerificationContractTests (2), ScpCompositionWiringBehaviorTests (2), ScpGraphContentFrameTests (3), ScpGraphCullingContractTests (6), ScpWorkspacePlacementTests (4), ScpRecordedReplayRuntimeTests (1).
• Scene-only subjects: ScpInteractionBinderTests (3), ScpOfflineControlRuntimeTests (10), ScpOfflineProjectionRegionTests (3), ScpSplatWiringTests (9), DemoObjectProjectionBindingTests (11), CaseFileCardGrabBindingTests (10), RevisePaletteContentTests (3), RevisePalettePlacementTests (3), WorkspacePathResolutionTests (4).
• Pending Q1b (HUD): ScpLegendPanelTests (3), ScpRehomeDebounceTests (4), ScpHoldTapClassifierTests (5), ScpSandboxConsoleTests (11).
• ScpMrCaptureControllerTests (11): kept, per operator Q2. Only its subject’s wiring moves.

Edit: 19 suites / 173 tests. Keep each suite and drop the scene cases, leak guards or fixture use.

Keep untouched: 98 suites / 810 tests (this includes ScpMrCaptureControllerTests). The largest of these are the suites for retained prefab scripts: HarvestGestureBindingTests (18), GrabConnectorBindingTests (24), TemplateCard*, WorkToken*, CaseFile* (other than grab), ForgeAssemblyViewTests, PartsDrawerViewTests, ScpShelfRuntimeTests, ScpHandoffRuntimeTests and ScpVisualSpecCatalogTests.

(e) Profile, CI and docs touchpoints

(f) Chunks

C and D can merge into one PR if the reviewer prefers. The scene files, boot code and scene-bound tests delete together cleanly. In that case, C keeps only the tests that need no D cut.

Decisions

• Q1: perf sampler and tracking telemetry. Operator, 2026-09-23: yes. Both move into the Control Room boot in chunk A (A5), with [SCP-PERF] emission from the Control Room boot as acceptance.
• Q1b: debug HUD (8 files, 4 suites / 23 tests). Still open. The recommendation is to remove it, because the walls-of-text panel is what is being retired and the perf and telemetry no longer need it. It is removed in C and D only if the operator confirms. Otherwise it stays as unwired code.
• Q2: MR capture. Operator, 2026-09-23: keep. It moves into the Control Room boot in chunk A (A6).
• Q3: core AgentOps-only models. Resolved by the scope change: all engine-free core is kept.
• Chunk A+B PR (operator, 2026-09-23). The PR keeps every prefab and asset, ports the perf sampler and tracking telemetry (Q1) and MR capture (Q2) into the Control Room boot, and leaves the debug HUD alone (Q1b still undecided: not deleted, not ported). It deletes no scene and no scene code; those deletions are deferred per [[Tasks/Work/tech-debt-spatial-cognition-xr-agentops-room-code-deletion]].
• Chunk B profile (implementation call, following §2). AgentOps stops being a WorkspaceProfile member in B, not D. SCP_WORKSPACE_PROFILE=AgentOps fails closed from this PR on, and the error names IP-SCP-40.40. The AgentOps scene and code still compile and open in the Editor.

Chunk A+B status (2026-09-23)

Branch: feat/scp-40.40-ab-decouple-profile (spatial-cognition-xr, off 829b1e4), pushed; no PR opened yet. The orchestrator runs the Unity compile, .meta generation and health-report export, then opens it.

Boot markers that prove the wiring (Control Room boot, R3-link log):

• [SCP-CONTROLROOM] OK DIAGNOSTICS perf=True tracking=True mrCapture=<present|absent>
• [SCP-TRACKING] armed | ...
• [SCP-PERF] armed | ... (after the 3 s warm-up)
• [SCP-MR-CAPTURE] ... after the session binds

No scene carries a capture object and no recorder ships, the same as AgentOps today. So the expected MR line is no capture object in this scene; MR capture is off.

Proof so far (no Unity run):

• R1 is green: 2660 App tests plus all other assemblies.
• verify-workspace-scene.py (CR default, --selftest, --scene Workspace-AgentOps) passes.
• verify-build-scenes-enabled.py passes, and fails on the old AgentOps list (inverted).
• verify-gym-scene.py and its --selftest pass.
• verify-prefab-roots.py and its --selftest pass.
• verify-scene.py and verify-no-locomotor-freefall.py pass.

Open, for the orchestrator’s Unity pass:

• .meta files for the three new .cs files.
• The Unity compile (read Editor.log).
• R2.
• Re-export unity-health-report.json (ScpProjectHealth.ExportReport). Until then the freshness gate in validate_health_report.py fails, because ProjectSettings and ProjectHealth changed in this PR.
• The Control Room builder read-back. Its build-list assertion is inverted to require the CR set.

Chunk C+D status (2026-09-23): scenes and scene-bound tests, done in branch

A+B merged: PR #583, main at d579f60.

Branch: feat/scp-40.40-cd-remove-agentops-scenes (spatial-cognition-xr, off d579f60), pushed with commits 51630ef and fc133e6. No PR is open yet. The orchestrator runs the Unity pass, then opens it.

Code deletion is deferred. The operator deferred it to [[Tasks/Work/tech-debt-spatial-cognition-xr-agentops-room-code-deletion]]. The only .cs files this branch deletes are the two EditMode test files below. The (a) boot, composition and builder code, the debug HUD (Q1b is still open) and their unit-test suites stay in the tree, unused. So the survey’s (d) “remove 22 suites” list is narrowed to the cases that open or parse the deleted scene files. The suites that test code still in the tree move to the tech-debt note along with that code.

Proof (no Unity run):

• R1 is green: App 2660, Projection 914, Domain 186, Contracts 139, Guardrails 26, SnapshotExporter 11.
• Static gates all pass: verify-workspace-scene (default, --selftest, --scene Workspace-ControlRoom), verify-build-scenes-enabled, verify-gym-scene and its --selftest, verify-prefab-roots and its --selftest, verify-asset-metas, verify-scene, verify-no-locomotor-freefall and validate_health_report.
• Compile check: the edited Scp.Unity.EditModeTests, Scp.Unity.Boot.Editor and Assembly-CSharp-Editor sources compile with 0 errors. They were compiled with dotnet build against the main checkout’s Library/ScriptAssemblies, which is not a Unity compile.
• Prefab and asset diff: git diff --name-status origin/main -- '*.prefab' '*.mat' '*.asset' '*.fbx' '*.controller' '*.anim' (and their .meta files) is empty. There are 286 such files before and 286 after.

Open, for the orchestrator’s Unity pass:

• The Unity compile (check Editor.log for error CS).
• Full EditMode R2, recording wall time before and after.
• No builder needs rerunning, and there is no health-report re-export: none of the freshness inputs changed.

Completion (2026-09-23)

• Chunks A and B: PR #583 (main@d579f60). Chunks C and D (the scenes and their scene-only tests): PR #584 (main@db5069a). CI R2 passed at each PR head: 1108/1108 and 1092/1092.
• No prefabs or assets deleted: 286 files before and after. The code deletion is deferred to [[../../../Tasks/Work/tech-debt-spatial-cognition-xr-agentops-room-code-deletion|tech debt]].
• R2 wall time: CI EditMode went from 4 m 56 s (1,108 tests) to 4 m 30 s (1,092 tests), about −9 %. The larger saving the evidence implied came from local GUI-Editor focus stalls, which the headless CI runner doesn’t have.
• Still open: the R3-link spot check (the Control Room and gym unchanged in the headset), to be done in the next headset session. The R4 ControlRoom-profile APK build was not run here.
