Objective and components
The system uses project-state records, handovers, decision locks, append-only logs, completion reports, validation reports and evidence packages. It preserves both positive results and constraints such as supersession, contradiction, missing identity or an unapproved next step.
Memory
Context that allows work to resume after interruption.
Evidence
Material supporting a bounded claim, method and limitation.
Canon
A reviewed state or decision, not merely an available file.
Provenance
Lineage and references that make a result inspectable.
Evidence-state progression
Evidence-state progression
Validation and recovery
Existing results show append-only logging, immutable artefact descriptors, recovery inspection and evidence contracts in bounded areas of the programme. The record also retains failures and NO-GO outcomes, allowing a recovery path to start from a known boundary rather than from assumed memory.
- Claim
- Evidence and lineage are explicit engineering artefacts in Koda's documented workflow.
- Method
- Review of factory session/logging records, state-contract work and canonical result reports.
- Result
- Append-only records, validation results and recovery-oriented state are evidenced in bounded implementations.
- Limitation
- Identity coverage remains incomplete in some runtime areas; no claim is made that all information is unified or error-free.
- Source period
- 2026 records.
Current state and planned development
This system is current as a working discipline and partially implemented infrastructure. Remaining work includes durable relationship identities and clearer contradiction/supersession links where live runtime records need them. Public documentation excludes internal record locations and sensitive raw material.
Related agent governance relies on evidence for review; Forge Workshop provides a human-facing surface for evidence-return; Nano Factory uses provenance to bound research claims.
Sources: public casefile evidence index; canonical result and recovery records; evidence-contract alignment records. Internal paths and unpublished source material are excluded.
