Evidence Doctrine

What counts

Evidence class Carrier Use
Sealed observation SealedObservationFrame + channel data + context Scientific / portable claims
Fixture / recipe run Named recipe result + metadata PASS/FAIL under guardrails
Presentation capture Screenshot with role-labeled caption Teaching, failure notebooks
Terminal telemetry [LiveSummary], diagnostic logs Debug only unless attached as supporting annex

What does not count alone

  • Magenta plate color
  • Unlabeled beauty screenshots
  • Display Mode choice
  • “It looked closed” without enclosure test record
  • Fixture PASS as free-roam certificate

Caption roles (required for screenshots)

Every screenshot caption must identify one of:

  • world viewport
  • Observation Plate
  • display mapping
  • semantic outcome plane
  • qualification artifact
  • legacy presentation
  • planned storyboard

No screenshot may establish an outcome class by color alone.
