Core meaning
- Capability purpose
- Make completed work visible and historically usable without depending on later reconstruction from raw traces.
- Meaningful outcome
- At least one durable completed-work record exists, remains traceable to source evidence, and links any additional projections produced for the same completion.
- Boundaries — includes
- meaningful-done qualification, completion event, owner-facing abstract, detail representation, History manifest, evidence links, history-day assignment, session grouping, and publication status.
- Boundaries — excludes
- doing the work, generic event capture, generic update lifecycle, raw-log retention, and public release when not authorized.
- Terms and concepts
update-first History publishes structured completion evidence before using raw traces as fallback reconstruction.
Interaction Contract MLEs
Publish meaningful completion
- Actor
- An authorized work owner, agent, workflow, or completion publisher.
- Command / intent
- Record and surface that a bounded meaningful work outcome reached done.
- Current state
- Canonical work state and sufficient result or verification evidence establish meaningful completion.
- Policies / invariants
- Completion is not claimed without evidence; records produced for the same completion remain linked; sensitive or private detail follows publication policy; repeated publication is idempotent.
- Transition
- Validate completion, create the authorized completion record and projections, and bind retained evidence.
- Result
- A durable completed-work publication bundle with traceable source and status.
- Events / effects
- Feeds owner attention, daily History, higher summaries, retrieval, and dashboards.
- Unknowns
- Universal materiality thresholds for mandatory publication are not established.
Rules and defaults
Rules / invariants
- Raw chat, command output, or session traces alone do not prove meaningful completion.
- Public or external publication requires authority independent from internal completion recording.
Recommended defaults
- Lead with a short owner-readable abstract and put technical evidence behind a linked detail artifact.
- For meaningful completed work, prefer a linked canonical event, concise update, readable detail, History manifest, and retained evidence reference when those projections are supported.
Unknown / unresolved
- Grouping several related completions into one versus several updates remains context-specific.
