Experiment and validation worksheet
July 20, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Use this worksheet to record evidence from one bounded experiment and its
independent Validate review. The current machine contracts are
subject-manifest.v1 and
verdict.v2.
Pinned inputs
- Intent reference or snapshot:
<caller source or content-addressed path> - Acceptance digest:
<sha256> - Author context ID:
<nonempty identity> - Subject locator:
<directory or explicit root>
Bounded experiment
- RED evidence:
<first acceptance check and factual result> - GREEN evidence:
<same acceptance check and factual result> - Refactor evidence:
<check that remained green>
Runtime-derived subject facts
- Subject-manifest digest:
<sha256> - Actual changed paths:
<complete list> - Changed-path coverage complete:
true | false - Other factual evidence:
<ids and references> - Checks not run:
<explicit list>
Independent Validate review
- Validator context ID:
<distinct nonempty identity> - Freshness source:
runtime | caller - Freshness attester:
<identity> - Criterion results:
<PASS | FAIL | NOT_PROVEN with evidence> - Checked:
<claims and surfaces> - Not checked:
<claims and surfaces> - Verdict artifact:
<content-addressed path>
Any subject edit invalidates the review. A proven out-of-scope path is FAIL; incomplete changed-path coverage is NOT_PROVEN. Validate persists one verdict and stops without repair, retry, Git, closure, release, or delivery.
