CORE Workbench v1
CORE Workbench is the first dedicated operator/auditor UI for CORE.
It is intentionally designed as:
- a cognition observatory,
- replay debugger,
- proposal review workstation,
- deterministic eval console,
- and audit surface.
It is NOT intended to be a generic chatbot shell.

Core Principles
Replay before persuasion
The UI should make replay evidence more important than aesthetic persuasion.
Calm by default
The interface should remain quiet and precise.
Progressive disclosure
The system should become more transparent the deeper an operator inspects.
Proposal is not ratification
The UI must preserve ADR-0057 review doctrine.
Read-only first
The first workbench phases prioritize visibility and auditability before any mutation capability.
Initial Work Queue
| Work Item | Goal |
|---|---|
| W-026 | Read-only API |
| W-027 | Frontend shell |
| W-028 | Chat + trace drawer |
| W-029 | Proposal queue |
| W-030 | Eval center |
| W-031 | Replay theater |
Guiding Question
The correct operator reaction to the workbench should be:
“Wait… I can actually inspect and replay the cognition.”
not:
“Cool chatbot.”
