Objective and architecture
Observatory collects and presents local CPU, RAM, GPU, VRAM and thermal telemetry alongside selected factory and runtime state. Its analytical path uses a local metrics stack and a browser-facing view. Native System Pulse remains the primary in-application surface for concise state awareness.
Observatory relationship
Implementation, validation and limits
A project-local analytical stack was installed, benchmarked and stopped cleanly after use. It retained authentication and restricted navigation to a local loopback endpoint. Exporter and collection failure/recovery behaviour were tested. The browser path remains operational as a local analytical option.
- Claim
- A local analytical Observatory path was installed and benchmarked.
- Method
- Targeted observability tests, runtime suite checks and measured local benchmark work.
- Result
- Local collection and analytical presentation were validated within their bounded setup.
- Limitation
- The embedded native shell was deliberately deferred after process-cleanup validation failed; it is not an active integrated surface.
- Source period
- 2026 implementation and benchmark records.
Failure, recovery and privacy
Freshness and unavailable-source states are important: absent telemetry should be labelled unavailable rather than represented as fixture data. The analytical stack is local-only and temporary; it is not an external cloud service or a permanent boot integration.
Future work may add event annotation and stronger links to the Living Activity Timeline. It must retain graceful renderer failure behaviour and the established local privacy boundary.
Related systems and provenance
Living Activity Timeline supplies time-based context. Forge Workshop can surface read-only operational state. Evidence and External Memory preserves validation and failure records.
