Diagnostics

Verified commit: 5ce15c1362615e1e0fa4ba02f18c6dae78c243c2 (perf(observatory): centralize transport diagnostics)

Public story: control how much runtime telemetry the host prints or aggregates. Diagnostics are not a substitute for sealed Evidence.

Internal: XPrimeRay.DiagnosticsDiagnosticVerbosity, RuntimeDiagnosticPolicy, DiagnosticRuntimeMode.


Verbosity ladder

Level Public name Intent
Off Off Minimal / silence non-error noise
Summary Summary Coarse live runtime counters (default for Live)
Frame Frame Per-snapshot / frame-oriented detail (default for Snapshot / headless qualification)
Region Region Region-audit oriented detail
PixelTrace PixelTrace Selected-pixel traces (count limited)
TransportTrace TransportTrace Deep transport path traces (opt-in only)

Environment (when used):

  • XPRIMERAY_DIAGNOSTIC_VERBOSITY — parse to verbosity enum
  • XPRIMERAY_DIAGNOSTIC_TRANSPORT_TRACE — opt-in for TransportTrace (1 / true / yes)

Runtime modes (defaults)

DiagnosticRuntimeMode Default verbosity
Live Summary
Snapshot Frame
HeadlessQualification Frame
ExplicitRegionAudit Region
ExplicitSelectedPixelAudit PixelTrace

[LiveSummary] and terminal output

Fact Doctrine
[LiveSummary] lines Runtime performance / live telemetry (film size, frames, render steps, …)
Terminal dump Not automatically Evidence
Sealed observation frames Evidence carrier for scientific claims
Summary semantic counters May report n/a when authoritative values are unavailable—do not invent numbers

Use the Inspector and sealed ProbeFrameSummary / channel data for outcome classes. Do not promote a green-looking LiveSummary into a qualification PASS.


Categories (internal)

Lifecycle, Render, Transport, Boundary, Probe, Performance, Error—used for gating which messages a verbosity allows. Errors may still surface when terminal policy requires.


Relation to Region Probe

Diagnostics Region/PixelTrace Region Probe
Telemetry detail about audits Semantic outcome regions + optional refine
Does not seal channels by itself Adapter seals outcome/region/refinement

Claim boundary

Warning

Diagnostics help operators debug. They do not establish proper time, physical gravity, or wormhole confirmation. TransportTrace is process detail under numerical policy—not causal structure of spacetime.
