Preserve an execution result

Core meaning

Capability purpose: Keep produced value discoverable and auditable after active work ends without turning every saved file into a result.
Meaningful outcome: A result record identifies the produced artifact or outcome and preserves provenance to its source execution and supporting evidence.
Boundaries — includes: result qualification, registration, source-execution links, actor attribution, time, artifact/output references, summary, status, and retention lifecycle.
Boundaries — excludes: active project management, workflow execution, generic file storage, owner-facing update presentation, and judging the result's substantive quality.
Terms and concepts: A result is a produced output or outcome worth retaining as execution evidence, not a generic container for all stored content.

Actor: An authorized owner, project, routine run, workflow run, or execution coordinator.
Command / intent: Preserve a completed or materially produced outcome as a result.
Current state: An execution record and produced output or outcome evidence exist.
Policies / invariants: Source execution, actors, time, and relevant inputs are attributable; the result does not overwrite its source execution history; retained artifacts follow storage and sensitivity policy; draft or partial status is not misrepresented as final.
Transition: Qualify the output, create the result record, link its evidence and source execution, and persist lifecycle state.
Result: A durable, retrievable result linked to what produced it.
Events / effects: May create a completed-work update, History entry, review request, or later knowledge promotion.
Unknowns: Universal qualification thresholds for notable versus routine outputs are not established.

Every result must answer what produced it, when, and through which source execution.
Result preservation must not collapse work-in-progress state into the outcome record.

Preserve a concise summary, artifact references, source execution, participants, completion state, and verification context.

Purpose: Tell the owner that a meaningful output is ready for review or use.
Trigger: A result is registered or materially revised.
Audience: Owner and authorized participants.
Required meaning: Identify the result, source work, status, and review or use action.
Representative example text: Example; illustrative, not shipped copy: “The completed report is available with links to its source project and verification.”
Possible realizations: update card, result view, History item, or API response.

Result retention and promotion into durable Knowledge depend on content class and policy.
