trc_20260428193200_ov33d9a4

Pressure-test case with repeated verification records, very little transition evidence, and no declared blind spots.

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: Pressure-test case with repeated verification records, very little transition evidence, and no declared blind spots.

Preset: Over-Verified Minimal-Evidence Trace

Domain context: agent governance

Governance profile: General Governance Profile

State Layers

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

No escalation state remains active after repeated verification.

Trust and Verification

Trust inheritance: Allowed in this prototype run.

Verification posture: Verification recorded: approved repeatedly.

Outcome Status

Expected outcome: upheld

auditor_pressure · 16d ago 2026-04-28T19:32:10Z

Expectation matches the later upheld outcome.

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: 0

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

No blind spots have been declared for this trace yet.

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_20260428193200_ov33d9a4
Excluded known items:
  • No cross-trace completeness claim.

Per-trace completeness claim only.

Escalation Closure

No escalation closure is currently recorded for this trace.

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: This case looks procedurally busy because verification repeats, but only one visible scoring signal actually fires.

Next step: Use to inspect whether repeated verification is overweighted or ignored by the current scoring model.

  • Purpose: over-verified trace pressure test.
  • Three approval verifications are recorded.
  • Only one supported transition exists and it lacks evidence.
  • No blind spots are declared.
  • Completeness is still declared complete.

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:

  • 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: Use to inspect whether repeated verification is overweighted or ignored by the current scoring model.

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_20260428193200_ov33d9a4/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_20260428193200_ov33d9a4/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_20260428193200_ov33d9a4/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_20260428193200_ov33d9a4/blind-spots

Update Completeness Attestation

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