Makes the CL(4,1) field geometry legible, honestly. The engine owns the field;
this surfaces ONLY the exact scalar invariants it computes — never the raw
multivector — so the workbench shows "this is the geometry, it's exact, it
can't fake coherence" without a decorative blob or any motion.
Persist-first (the C3 gating work was Python, not React): the honest scalars
were computed live per turn but discarded. Now captured per turn into the
journal so a read-only surface has real evidence.
Backend:
- workbench/field_evidence.py: FieldEvidence computed from the engine result —
exact versor_condition, field_valid (vs the 1e-6 ceiling), a content-
addressed field_digest (sha256 of the engine-canonical array bytes), and
cga_inner(before, after) as the exact transition value. Raw field bytes
never cross the boundary: only floats + digests. validate() is fail-closed —
field_valid can never disagree with versor_condition vs the ceiling (the
wrong=0 analogue for the geometry). No engine math re-implemented
(versor_condition / cga_inner imported from algebra; bytes via array_codec).
- workbench/schemas.py: FieldEvidence dataclass; field_evidence on
ChatTurnResult + TurnJournalEntrySchema. schema-snapshot.json regenerated.
- workbench/journal.py + api.py: persisted at from_chat_turn; first-class read
endpoint GET /trace/{turn_id}/field (trace facet, consistent with /pipeline).
- workbench/replay.py: field_evidence classified CRITICAL — replay now also
proves field determinism (digest + scalars must match on re-execution).
Frontend:
- types/api.ts FieldEvidence + field_evidence passthrough; client/query hook;
FieldInvariantCard (measured value vs ceiling, cga_inner transition, digests;
honest missing_evidence; no blob, no motion); Trace route Field tab.
Honest-empty for pre-widening journal rows (missing_evidence). Deferred:
cross-turn field-coherence trends, session-level field persistence.
Validation: 138 workbench/practice Python tests (incl. non-vacuous field guards
+ replay field-determinism); 465/465 frontend incl. schemaDrift; pnpm build
clean; git diff --check clean. No generate.derivation / reliability_gate /
stream / field.propagate / vault.store imports.
Lands the Phase C "make cognition legible" slice plus Phase A residue, all
backend-reader-first over real engine data (no theater, read-only doctrine
intact, zero serving-path imports).
C1-a — Cognitive pipeline record (persistence-first, per #729 worthiness edit):
- workbench/pipeline_record.py: curated CognitivePipelineRecord over the real
CognitiveTurnResult (input → intent → proposition_graph → articulation_target
→ realizer → walk_telemetry → trace_hash). Raw field multivectors are
DELIBERATELY excluded; _assert_no_raw_field_payload recursively rejects raw
field keys, and validate_pipeline_record fails closed on missing/duplicate
stages, non-recorded status, or dangling edges — the UI can never receive a
partial record that claims to be complete.
- test_workbench_pipeline_record.py: non-vacuous guards — missing stage,
monkeypatched new required stage, and injected raw {"F": [...]} each raise.
C2-a — Contemplation as a process: /contemplation route over real persisted
contemplation/runs/*.json (glob reader; honest-empty when absent).
C4-a — Identity continuity (L10/L11): RunDetail.identity_continuity + Runs
Identity tab, sourced from the real core.engine_identity (engine_identity /
parent_engine_identity lineage relation, re-derived to verify).
Demo Theater: renders backend-owned proof-promotion + entailment DAGs.
Phase A residue: density preference wired end-to-end (settings → shell → tokens);
cross-route consistency touch-ups.
Infra: local API CORS now echoes only validated 127.0.0.1/localhost origins
(hostname-checked, not arbitrary reflection) so Vite fallback ports work.
Route chunk-split keeps the build warning-free.
Cleanup: corrected the stale ADR-0175 practice-lane assertions (build_report is
6 correct / 0 wrong / 44 refused after the current serving lane; wrong=0 held)
and the two registry-derived count tests (LeftNav + CommandPalette 12 → 13 for
the new Contemplation route).
Docs: runtime_contracts.md (pipeline-record contract), UI-UX-GUIDE,
api-contract-v1, data-shapes-v1, wave-M-worthiness, phase-a-residue-ledger.
Validation: 106 workbench/practice Python tests green (incl. wrong=0 lane +
pipeline-record fail-closed guards); 459/459 frontend; pnpm build clean;
git diff --check clean. No generate.derivation / reliability_gate / stream /
field.propagate / vault.store imports.
Adds `workbench-ui/src/app/routes.ts` as the single source of truth for
navigation routes. App, LeftNav, the command palette, ⌘-digit shortcuts,
and the landing-route preference now all derive from `WORKBENCH_ROUTES`.
Fixes the live palette-drift bug: the command palette's hand-maintained
NAV_COMMANDS listed 10 routes and silently dropped Demos and Calibration,
so they were unreachable via ⌘K. The landing-route tuple was likewise
missing Replay and Calibration. Deriving every list from one registry
makes that drift structurally impossible.
- routes.ts carries a `section` field for grouped wayfinding nav
(Converse · Cognition · Determinism · Evidence · Discipline ·
Substrate · Settings) — a display skin only; one workbench, one
address space, one Evidence Chain Rail.
- App is data-driven via ROUTE_ELEMENTS (route id → element); a registry
route without an element fails routes.test rather than rendering undefined.
- Honest keyboard model: ten routes pin ⌘1–0; Demos and Calibration are
palette-only (no chord advertised).
- routes.test.tsx guards the contract: element-map parity, unique
ids/paths/digits, landing-route coverage (Replay + Calibration), and
palette reachability of every command-visible route.
Verified: pnpm build green; routes/Shell/CommandPalette/routeConformance/
prefs/Settings + hexScan/schemaDrift/enumCoverage suites all pass (108 tests).
First R3 (Theater) piece. Reworks the stale artifact-keyed ReplayRoute into
the turn-keyed hero over the #716 sealed-replay backend, and fully retires
the dead W-026 artifact-keyed machinery on both sides (the NOT_YET_MIRRORED
comment anticipated this).
The hero makes determinism *felt*: pick a journaled turn, CORE re-executes
its prompt in a sealed fresh runtime, and the result renders as a hash
verdict (≡ equivalent / ≠ diverged) + the original/replay DigestBadges + a
leaf diff (critical weighted above informational, each with a ≠ glyph). The
'What this proves' card surfaces comparison_basis + origin_state and states
the honest limit: a divergence means nondeterminism OR origin-state
influence, never rendered on its own as a determinism failure.
Retirement (verified zero serving uses):
- Python schemas.py: removed ReplayComparison/ReplayDivergence/ReplayStatus/
ReplayDivergenceSeverity; scripts/dump-enums.py drops the two replay enums;
both snapshots regenerated (deterministic: dump == committed)
- TS: removed ReplayComparison/ReplayDivergence/ReplayDivergenceSeverity;
added TurnReplayComparison/TurnReplayDivergence (+ basis/origin/severity
unions); NOT_YET_MIRRORED now empty (every engine schema mirrored)
- badges: removed ReplayStatusBadge + ReplayDivergenceSeverityBadge +
meta/enums + their enumCoverage cases (hero renders severity inline)
- api: fetchReplayComparison/useReplayComparison -> fetchTurnReplay/
useTurnReplay (/replay/<turnId>)
- deleted ArtifactList, ReplayComparisonPanel, ReplayDiffViewer,
ReplayMetadataTable, old replay.test.tsx
- App route /replay/:artifactId? -> /replay/:turnId?; conformance row
turn-keyed (loading 'Loading turns...', empty 'No turns recorded yet.')
Tests: ReplayRoute.test.tsx (equivalence hero + honesty card, diverged
critical leaf, informational-only label, replace-mode select, j/k spine).
Full vitest 358 green; workbench Python 34 green; both snapshots deterministic.
Follow-up flagged (not in this PR to keep it focused): the artifact query
hooks (useArtifacts/useArtifactDetail/fetchArtifacts*) are now orphaned but
entangled with the still-live artifact EvidenceSubject kind — a separate
cleanup once an Artifacts route or that subject's fate is decided.
Brief: docs/handoff/wave-R3-briefs-2026-06-13.md (all four R3 pieces).
Replaces VaultRoutePlaceholder with the real route over the R2-B
/vault read substrate (#712).
- TS mirrors VaultSummary/VaultEntry; both removed from NOT_YET_MIRRORED.
Also fixes a latent ErrorCode drift: adds 'evidence_unavailable' to the
TS union (present in Python schemas, missing in TS) — the route branches
on it.
- fail-closed is the design: a missing/unpersisted vault (the 501
evidence_unavailable signal, or persisted=false / entry_count=0) renders
the honest absence card as the PRIMARY state, naming the opt-in
RuntimeConfig.persist_session_state pointer — not a generic error, no
skeleton theater
- with data: summary strip (entry_count, store_count, reproject_interval,
max_entries, source_path) + VirtualizedList of entries with
epistemic_status / epistemic_state pills and versor_digest DigestBadge
- exact-recall doctrine: renders only backend fields; never computes or
displays a similarity/relevance proxy (runtime recall is exact cga_inner)
- selection publishes the vault_entry subject (inspect-param only, via
setSubject + setInspectorOpen; EvidenceUrlSync writes ?inspect=vault:N);
a URL-restored identity-only subject is hydrated once entries load
- Vault row added to routeConformance MOUNT_ROUTES — the fail-closed
absence asserted as the primary contract
- tests: fail-closed card (not error), summary+entries, no-similarity-score
doctrine, vault_entry subject publication, j/k spine
Token-only styling (hexScan green).
Replaces PacksRoutePlaceholder with the real triad route over the R2-B
/packs read substrate (#712).
- TS mirrors PackSource/PackSummary/PackDetail; PackSummary/PackDetail
removed from NOT_YET_MIRRORED (drift gate now enforces them)
- new design primitive TreeView (src/design/components/TreeView): a
deterministic, keyboard-driven JSON tree — object keys sorted, array
indices in order, no animation; ←/→ collapse/expand, ↑/↓ + j/k move,
Home/End jump, Enter toggles; registers its shortcuts only while focused
(KeyboardHelp never advertises tree controls when no tree is on screen)
- list pane: VirtualizedList + useListNavigation (j/k) + SearchInput; rows
show pack_id, source, version, language/modality, determinism_class pill
- detail pane: Panel + TabBar (Manifest / Checksums / Raw); Manifest renders
via TreeView; Checksums is the verify affordance — manifest_digest and
declared checksum as DigestBadges plus the per-field manifest checksums
table (the checksum-hashes-the-bytes-on-disk doctrine made visible); Raw
collapsed by default
- selection publishes the pack subject (R2-S), records /packs/<packId>
(replace), pushRecentItem on visit
- Packs row added to routeConformance MOUNT_ROUTES (loading 'Loading
packs...', error 'No packs mutation occurred.', empty 'No packs
discovered.' + core pack validate <path>)
- tests: TreeView (sorted/collapsed/expand/collapse/focus/click/empty) +
PacksRoute (list, replace-mode select + manifest tree, checksum verify
affordance, j/k spine)
Token-only styling (hexScan green).
Replaces the RunsRoutePlaceholder with the real triad route over the
R2-B /runs read substrate (#712).
- TS mirrors RunSource/RunSummary/RunTurnRef/RunDetail; all three classes
removed from NOT_YET_MIRRORED (drift gate now enforces them)
- list pane: VirtualizedList + useListNavigation (j/k) + SearchInput;
rows show source, session_id, turn_count, relative timestamp, a
checkpoint badge (present + revision vs 'no checkpoint'), and any
evidence_gap rendered honestly in-row (never hidden)
- detail pane: Panel + TabBar (Turns / Manifest / Raw); every turn row
is an anchor to /trace/<turn_id> (backend-provided trace_path) with the
trace_hash as a DigestBadge — the cross-link is the point of this route;
turn list pages via turn_limit ('Load more turns')
- selection publishes the run subject (R2-S) and records /runs/<sessionId>
in the URL (replace), pushRecentItem on visit
- Runs row added to routeConformance MOUNT_ROUTES (loading 'Loading
runs...', error 'No runs mutation occurred.', empty 'No runs recorded
yet.' + core chat)
- RunsRoute.test.tsx: list evidence, in-row gap, replace-mode URL select,
trace cross-link hrefs, manifest tab, j/k keyboard spine
Token-only styling (hexScan green); full vitest 339 green.
Replaces the W-026 501 stub. Re-executes a journaled prompt in a sealed
fresh runtime (ChatRuntime(no_load_state=True): no checkpoint load, no
checkpoint write, no proposal lineage) and compares the envelope
leaf-by-leaf against the recorded TurnJournalEntry.
Design correction vs the scoping doc (amended in-doc): journaled turns
each ran in a fresh ChatRuntime(), never one continuous session, so
genesis-PREFIX replay would manufacture spurious divergence; shipped
basis is sealed_fresh_runtime_single_turn (O(1)). origin_state:
"unrecorded" — the journal does not record whether the original turn's
runtime loaded a checkpoint, so divergence is reported as nondeterminism
OR origin-state influence, never disambiguated.
- workbench/replay.py: pure comparison + injected executor; every
TurnJournalEntry field classified critical/informational exactly once
(exhaustiveness enforced by test)
- api.py: route wiring under _CHAT_TURN_LOCK; runtime failure -> 500
runtime_unavailable, no comparison may be fabricated
- schemas: additive TurnReplayComparison/TurnReplayDivergence (W-026
artifact-keyed pair retires with the frontend Replay Moment PR)
- tests: 10 obligations incl. tamper-prompt, tamper-leaf precision,
no-execution-no-comparison, no-trace (journal + engine_state bytes),
wall-clock tolerance, sealed-construction proof
- snapshot regenerated; NOT_YET_MIRRORED debt entries for the two new
classes (mirrors land with the frontend PR)
- api-contract-v1.md § Replay rewritten for the turn-keyed shape
- EvidenceChainRail: the spine's seven stages rendered per subject with
the honesty contract — lit/hollow/dim derive ONLY from carried fields
(a trace hash lights 'replay' as RECORDED, never as verified); pure
deriveStages() with meaningfully-fail tests (remove one field -> exactly
its stage hollows).
- Hash display standard: DigestBadge default 12-char + copy everywhere;
CopyableHash consolidated away (2 call sites swapped, file deleted).
- Typography: tabular-nums on MetadataTable values + eval metrics;
text-wrap balance on Panel titles + EmptyState statements.
- Selection unification: new --color-selected-bg/-border tokens; selected
(persistent) vs focused (transient) now visually distinct across
Proposals/Replay/Evals lists; focus-ring no longer doubles as selection.
- EmptyState gains a deterministic monochrome inline-SVG glyph.
- Panel adopted in Evals lane list + Proposals queue.
- Doctrine-as-tests: hexScan (no palette literals outside tokens.css/
generated tokens.ts) + schemaDrift gate (scripts/dump-schemas.py AST
walk -> schema-snapshot.json -> every dataclass field mirrored in
types/api.ts; explicit shrink-only NOT_YET_MIRRORED debt list).
The drift gate caught real drift on first run: ChatTurnResult.turn_id
existed in Python, missing from TS — now mirrored.
Verified: build green; vitest 36 files / 279 tests EXIT=0; playwright
12/12; dump-schemas.py runs clean.
Full 'pnpm test' previously hung indefinitely (killed at CI walls,
misdiagnosed as teardown slowness). Two root causes found and fixed:
1. RightInspector.test.tsx called setSubject() during render with a fresh
object every pass -> infinite synchronous render loop (100% CPU spin,
blocks the event loop so no timeout can fire). Moved into useEffect.
2. Test QueryClients used retry:false but default gcTime (5 min) -> a live
GC timer per cached query kept workers from exiting. New shared
createTestQueryClient() with gcTime:0 adopted across all 7 test files.
Hardening so any future leak fails loudly instead of hanging:
- vite.config.ts: testTimeout/hookTimeout 10s, teardownTimeout 5s
- useManagedTimeout hook owns previously-bare setTimeouts in DigestBadge,
MetadataTable, RatificationCommandPanel (4 sites), CommandPalette focus
First-ever frontend CI lane (.github/workflows/workbench-ui.yml):
path-filtered to workbench-ui/** AND the workflow file itself,
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile + build + vitest, timeout-minutes 15.
Honesty fix: KeyboardHelp no longer advertises j/k, /, Enter (unbuilt
until R0d restores them registry-backed).
Route conformance test (ADR-0162 §6, executable): empty/error/loading
contracts asserted for Chat/Proposals/Evals/Replay; fixed the two gaps
it caught (ReplayRoute bare-div error branch -> ErrorState contract;
ArtifactList empty state gained a next action).
Result: 27 files / 181 tests pass, suite EXITS in 4.9s wall-clock
(was: indefinite hang).
Brief 4 of the Wave 1 evidence spine — wire the evidence-context architecture
so every route can project into one shared evidence manifold.
Command registry (1A):
- commandRegistry.ts: useSyncExternalStore-backed command store with a cached
snapshot (referentially stable to avoid render loops); useCommands /
useCommandRegistry; recent-items in localStorage (last 10).
- CommandPalette.tsx: reads from the registry; all ten routes are navigation
commands (was Chat/Proposals/Evals hardcoded); fuzzy filter, recent section,
shortcut badges; Router/Fallback split preserved.
- useGlobalKeyboard.ts: Cmd+K palette, Cmd+I inspector, Cmd+1-0 routes, ? help.
Evidence drawer (1B):
- evidenceContext.tsx: EvidenceSubject union (turn|proposal|artifact|
eval_result|none) + useEvidenceSubject hook + EvidenceProvider above the
router Outlet so inspector state persists across route transitions.
- RightInspector.tsx: five evidence projections (was a null stub); reuses the
Brief 2 primitives (MetadataTable, DigestBadge, Timestamp, badges).
- Shell.tsx: visibility driven by inspectorOpen (collapsed by default); no more
hardcoded collapsed=true.
- KeyboardHelp.tsx: shortcut reference dialog.
- TopBar.tsx: palette open state lifted to Shell via props.
Tests: evidenceContext + RightInspector specs added; CommandPalette keyboard
contract updated for the ten-command navigation set (clamp at both ends).
Deferred (noted in spine doc): per-route register()/setSubject call sites,
action-commands (run eval / copy hash), resizable inspector width.
Verified: tsc -b + vite build green; affected specs pass per-file.
SplitPane, TabBar, MetadataTable, DigestBadge, Timestamp, SearchInput.
All token-driven, keyboard-navigable, ARIA-accessible, dark theme,
motion-respectful. No new dependencies — TabBar uses native ARIA
semantics instead of @radix-ui/react-tabs.
PreviewPage updated with all six components in representative states.
Section 1C checked off in wave-1-evidence-spine.md.
* feat(workbench-ui): design system v1 scaffold
* fix(workbench): close R1 (GroundingSource enum coverage) + R4 (digest test)
R1 — Promote GroundingSource to a typed Literal in core/epistemic_state.py
so it has the same single-source-of-truth shape as ReviewState. The
existing epistemic_state_for_grounding_source() function already
enumerates the six labels (pack, teaching, vault, partial, oov, none);
this codifies them.
scripts/dump-enums.py now snapshots GroundingSource via the existing
literal_values helper. workbench-ui's enumCoverage.test.ts gains a
fourth assertion that the badge mapping matches the Python source
1:1. Adding a grounding-source value on the Python side without
updating the badge fails the build-time test loud — same discipline
as the other three enums.
R4 — Add an explicit DigestBadge test to StableJsonViewer.test.tsx:
asserts the badge text matches the SHA-256 prefix of the source bytes,
and clicking the badge copies the FULL digest (not the truncated
prefix). Recomputes the expected digest via crypto.subtle to avoid
hard-coding a hex string that could drift.
R2 (component-level reduced-motion enforcement), R3 (EmptyState
copy-CLI affordance), and R5 (`uv run core` packaging paper cut) are
deferred — R2/R3 become meaningful with W-027/W-029, R5 is a
packaging-layer concern outside this PR's scope.
Validation:
- pnpm test: 19 passed (was 17, +1 enum coverage, +1 digest test)
- pnpm build: clean
- pnpm test:enum-coverage: 4 passed
- core test --suite smoke -q: 67 passed
