Recent traces Evaluator demo Trace API DBaD Explained

trc_20260428181140_42396240

A low-risk continuation stays within the same actor context, uses clean verification, and does not materially diverge from prior lineage.

This stored trace shows the minimal DBaD vertical-slice object returned by the evaluator pipeline. It is intentionally compact: action summary, state layers, trust posture, verification posture, constraint flags, and reasoning summary.

Action Summary

Scenario: A low-risk continuation stays within the same actor context, uses clean verification, and does not materially diverge from prior lineage.

Preset: Clean Low-Risk Continuation

Domain context: agent governance

Governance profile: General Governance Profile

State Layers

  • Local: allow · Allow
  • Systemic: none_reported · None reported
  • Effective: escalate · Escalated

This effective state reflects the latest recorded operator transition in the minimal system slice.

Trust and Verification

Trust inheritance: Allowed in this prototype run.

Verification posture: Verification recorded: approved.

Outcome Status

Expected outcome: upheld

auditor_v22 · 16d ago 2026-04-28T18:12:41Z

Expectation recorded before later observation.

Current outcome: upheld

Outcome status records the observed outcome, not proof of correctness.

Recorded before outcome. Not evaluated by the system.

Expectation vs Outcome
  • Expected = upheld
  • Observed = upheld

Declared Blind Spots

Total declared: 1

Declared blind spots record known limits of the trace. They do not prove that all omissions were disclosed.

  • scope_limit by auditor_v22 reviewed
    16d ago 2026-04-28T18:12:41Z
    This audit does not claim cross-trace completeness.

Completeness Attestation

Current status: declared_complete

auditor_v22 · 16d ago 2026-04-28T18:12:41Z

Scope: single trace audit path from expectation through reviewed transition and observed outcome

Coverage window: 2026-04-28 audit session

Completeness attestation records what this trace claims to cover. It does not prove nothing was omitted.

Included trace refs:
  • trc_20260428181140_42396240
Excluded known items:
  • No cross-trace completeness claim.

Per-trace completeness claim only.

Escalation Closure

Current closure: approved_to_continue

auditor_v22 · 16d ago 2026-04-28T18:12:41Z

Escalation reviewed and approved to continue.

Escalation closure records how a flagged trace was resolved. It does not prove the original decision was correct.

Constraint Flags

  • Continuity: No explicit continuity concern surfaced.
  • Verifier independence: No explicit verifier-independence concern surfaced.
  • Trajectory: No explicit trajectory concern surfaced.

Reasoning Summary

Governing summary: The stored trace remains structurally coherent, so DBaD allows trust to continue.

Next step: Transition recorded. Trace remains available for verification or further operator action.

  • Latest transition: mark_reviewed by auditor_v22.
  • Latest escalation closure: approved_to_continue by auditor_v22.
  • Declared blind spot: scope_limit by auditor_v22.
  • Expected outcome: upheld by auditor_v22.
  • Latest completeness attestation: declared_complete by auditor_v22.
  • Latest verification: approved by validator_clean.
  • No blocking constraint surfaced.

Next Actions

Allowed actions:

  • Verify: Allowed while the trace remains open.
  • Transition: Allowed under the current stored verification and state posture.

Blocked actions:

No blocked action is currently recorded by this minimal guidance layer.

Why actions are blocked:

  • No active core constraint is currently blocking the listed operator actions.

Additional concerns:

  • Escalation closure approved continuation, but that does not certify correctness.
  • Expected outcome was recorded before later observation. DBaD does not evaluate whether that expectation was wise.
  • Completeness attestation declared complete coverage for the stated scope, but DBaD does not verify that claim.
  • State transition recorded without evidence reference.

Next step: Transition recorded. Trace remains available for verification or further operator action.

Trace Validation

Deterministic validation checks the current core rule set only: verification independence, actor continuity, trust trajectory, propagation integrity, expected-outcome ordering, completeness-attestation shape, state-transition-evidence shape, and escalation-closure resume rules when applicable. Declared blind spots and incomplete completeness statuses are surfaced as metadata or advisories, not automatic failures.

  • No validation result yet.

Add Verification

Minimal vertical-slice action only. This appends one verification event to the trace and updates the visible verification posture.

Verification API: /api/v1/dbad/traces/trc_20260428181140_42396240/verification

Add Transition

Minimal vertical-slice transition only. This appends one transition event and updates the stored effective/review state where appropriate.

Transition API: /api/v1/dbad/traces/trc_20260428181140_42396240/transition

Evidence references are not verified by DBaD.

Update Outcome

Manual only. This records what was later observed without treating it as proof of safety or correctness.

Outcome API: /api/v1/dbad/traces/trc_20260428181140_42396240/outcome

Record Expected Outcome

Expected outcome has already been recorded for this trace and is now fixed.

Add Blind Spot

Use this to record known non-coverage or scope limits without claiming DBaD can detect every omission.

Blind spot API: /api/v1/dbad/traces/trc_20260428181140_42396240/blind-spots

Update Completeness Attestation

Record what this trace claims to cover without implying DBaD can prove that claim is true or exhaustive.

Completeness API: /api/v1/dbad/traces/trc_20260428181140_42396240/completeness-attestation

Record Escalation Closure

Use this only to record how an escalated or flagged trace was resolved. It does not certify that the original decision was correct.
