Visual Operations Usage Evidence — PR #200 Dogfood
Identification
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Evidence ID | visual-operations-usage-pr-200-dogfood |
| Date | 2026-06-15 |
| Recorder | Codex |
| Review or decision context | Post-merge dogfood closeout for the AletheIA Visual Operations dogfood protocol slice |
| Snapshot used | examples/visual-operations/github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md |
| Source refs | PR #200, merge commit cd6c081, CI run |
Usage boundary
- What was being reviewed: whether the newly merged dogfood protocol slice produced enough evidence to activate another Visual Operations surface or only to keep dogfood evidence collection open.
- Who used the snapshot: Codex, acting as maintainer/operator in the AletheIA development loop.
- Decision or question the snapshot supported: decide whether PR #200 justifies a collector, UI, backend, CI allowlist expansion, Adaptive Skills integration, or only a first usage record.
- Source refs: PR #200, merge commit
cd6c081, CI run27580494684, and the generated local snapshot files listed above.
Snapshot utility
| Question | Answer | Source refs |
|---|---|---|
| Which fields helped the review? | presentation_lane=closed, lane_confidence=confirmed, evidence_status=sufficient, CI evidence provenance, empty follow-up slices, and unavailable runtime/token/cost fields. |
github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md, PR #200 |
| Which fields were missing, misleading, stale, or too noisy? | Human review remains unavailable; planning depth, readiness, runtime, tokens, and cost remain unavailable or unknown. This is accurate but limits deeper operational measurement. |
github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md |
| Did the snapshot change a decision, shorten review, or only confirm known state? | It confirmed that the slice closed cleanly and supported the decision not to activate new infrastructure from this single dogfood instance. | PR #200, merge commit cd6c081 |
| Did the reviewer need to open the source PR, CI run, or evidence file anyway? | Yes. The snapshot summarized state and provenance, but the PR and CI records were still opened to verify source details and avoid treating the projection as authority. | PR #200, CI run 27580494684 |
Missing or unavailable signals
Record unknown or unavailable; do not infer values.
| Signal | Status | Why | Source refs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planning depth | unknown | No governed planning-depth record was supplied to the projector. | github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md |
| Human review requirement | unknown | PR #200 was authorized and merged, but no separate durable review-requirement record was projected. | PR #200 |
| Runtime session | unavailable | No authoritative runtime-session export was attached to the slice. | github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md |
| Skill activation | unknown | No durable skill-activation record was supplied. | github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md |
| Tokens | unavailable | No provider or harness token telemetry was supplied. | github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md |
| Cost | unavailable | No governed cost record was supplied. | github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md |
Activation signal check
This record is not enough by itself to activate future infrastructure. Mark only what this usage actually supports.
| Possible future surface | Supported by this evidence? | Reason | Source refs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add another checked-in snapshot to CI | no | PR #200 is a useful dogfood example, but it does not add a distinct projector scenario beyond already covered closed PRs. | github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md, scripts/check-visual-ops-snapshots.sh |
| Improve projector field mapping | unclear | The snapshot was understandable, but the human_review=unavailable limitation may need repeated evidence before changing mapping. |
github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md |
| Add GitHub collection/import | no | The input was assembled manually once; this does not demonstrate repeated assembly cost or error. | github-pr-200-dogfood-input.json |
| Add dashboard/UI | no | Markdown was sufficient for this closeout decision. | github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md |
| Add persistence/backend | no | No cross-slice query or retention need was demonstrated. | This record |
| Add Adaptive Skills integration | no | No durable non-sensitive skill-activation record was used. | This record |
| Add runtime/token/cost telemetry | no | The useful outcome was that these fields stayed unavailable rather than invented. | github-pr-200-dogfood-output.md |
Outcome
- Decision supported: keep Visual Operations dogfood evidence collection open, but do not activate a collector, UI, persistence/backend, Adaptive Skills integration, or telemetry surface from PR #200.
- Follow-up Work Slice, if any: none from this single record. Repeat dogfood usage on future real PRs before proposing infrastructure.
- Stop condition or reason to keep phase closed: one successful dogfood closeout confirms the static snapshot can support review, but it does not satisfy repeated-use activation thresholds.
