Sealed Frames

A sealed observation frame is a host-neutral measurement package:

context + dimensions + policy fingerprint
  + one or more sealed channels
  + validity / claim metadata

Internal: SealedObservationFrame, ObservationFrameDescriptor, ISealedObservationChannel.

Completeness

Requirement Why
Lifecycle Complete Frame finished
Unprocessed = 0 Full-frame claims only
Histogram sum = total samples Consistency
Context match Refine/compare validity

Complete frame ≠ successful geometry resolution. See Snapshot Completeness vs Resolution.

Channels present today

  • cathedral.probe.region_label
  • cathedral.probe.refinement_level

Evidence carrier

Sealed frames (plus summaries) are the preferred evidence carrier. Terminal [LiveSummary] lines are runtime telemetry—not automatic qualification evidence. See Diagnostics and Evidence Doctrine.
