# node-newrelic - Doramagic AI Context Pack

> Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated.

## Project

- canonical_name: `newrelic/node-newrelic`
- capability: New Relic agent
- expected_user_outcome: New Relic agent

## Operating Boundaries

- Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it.
- Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references.
- When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact.
- publish_status: `publishable`
- blocking_gaps: none

## Doramagic Context Augmentation

The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints.

## Human Manual Outline

Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph.

Host AI hard rules:
- Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence.
- When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal.
- Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph.

- **Overview and Core Architecture**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: index.js, newrelic.js, api.js, lib/agent.js, lib/config/default.js
- **Instrumentation Framework and Subscribers**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: lib/instrumentations.js, lib/shimmer.js, lib/shim/index.js, lib/shim/shim.js, lib/shim/datastore-shim.js
- **OpenTelemetry, Hybrid Agent, and Modern Runtimes**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: lib/otel/setup.js, lib/otel/traces/index.js, lib/otel/traces/span-processor.js, lib/otel/traces/rules.js, lib/otel/traces/segment-synthesis.js
- **AI/LLM Monitoring and Modern Integrations**: importance `medium`
  - source_paths: lib/llm-events/ai-agent.js, lib/llm-events/chat-completion-message.js, lib/llm-events/chat-completion-summary.js, lib/llm-events/embedding.js, lib/llm-events/error-message.js

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `185bb66c6b8c8ddc26c934adccc28bf47e9ddfd9`
- inspected_files: `README.md`, `docker-compose.yml`, `package.json`, `examples/instrumentation.md`, `examples/jsdoc.json`

Host AI hard rules:
- Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read.
- Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts.
- Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully.

## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints

These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes.

### Constraint 1: Maintenance risk requires verification

- Trigger: Project evidence flags a maintenance risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow.
- Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment.
- Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.
- Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/newrelic/node-newrelic/issues/4054
