[UAT] #46 disposable Root-to-Codex trace capture fixture

[Alive24]

Disposable operator-approved fixture for FailureReport #46 Halo Research.

Diagnostic request:

• Inspect the committed sparse-evidence fixture under eve/evals/ckb/fixtures/issue-45/ in the exact target checkout revision supplied to the run.
• Determine what the retained Issue, linked fix commit, and patch establish.
• Separate verified facts from plausible interpretation and unknowns.
• Recommend the smallest next evidence-gathering action.

Guardrails:

• Do not claim a reproduced root cause, a specific unretained runtime error, or verified end-user success.
• Do not change business code or route project work.
• The only expected GitHub mutation during the capture is FailureReport-managed append-only workpad activity on this disposable Issue.

This Issue may be closed after #46 Halo Research is complete.

FailureReport update

• Report: failure-report/Alive24-FailureReport-52
• Stage: Active diagnosis
• Status: investigating
• Severity: low
• Repository: Alive24/FailureReport
• Immutable target revision: 510aa6c041c95cf3a56665df9a5a12121bd985c0

• Issue: Alive24/FailureReport#52
• Canonical representation: inline folded snapshot

Active diagnosis

Current facts and evidence

• evidence.issue.request [verified] — Issue 52 requests inspection of the committed sparse-evidence fixture and explicitly forbids claiming a reproduced root cause, an unretained runtime error, or verified end-user success. Interpretation: The diagnosis must remain bounded to retained repository artifacts. Public evidence: [UAT] #46 disposable Root-to-Codex trace capture fixture #52.

Current hypotheses

• hypothesis.retained-artifacts-scope [open] — The retained Issue, linked commit, and patch can establish the historical change intent and code delta, but cannot alone establish a reproduced runtime root cause or verified user outcome.

Experiments

• experiment.inspect-retained-fixture [not_run] — What do the retained Issue, linked fix commit, and patch establish at the bound revision? Interpretation: Pending controlled diagnostic inspection.

Remaining unknowns

• The exact facts established by the retained Issue, linked fix commit, and patch.
• The smallest discriminating evidence-gathering action after artifact inspection.

Next diagnostic actions

• Inspect the committed fixture and linked repository artifacts without modifying business code.

Active diagnosis

Current facts and evidence

• evidence.issue.request [verified] — Issue 52 requests inspection of the committed sparse-evidence fixture and explicitly forbids claiming a reproduced root cause, an unretained runtime error, or verified end-user success. Interpretation: The diagnosis must remain bounded to retained repository artifacts. Public evidence: [UAT] #46 disposable Root-to-Codex trace capture fixture #52.

Current hypotheses

• hypothesis.retained-artifacts-scope [open] — The retained Issue, linked commit, and patch can establish the historical change intent and code delta, but cannot alone establish a reproduced runtime root cause or verified user outcome.

Experiments

• experiment.inspect-retained-fixture [not_run] — What do the retained Issue, linked fix commit, and patch establish at the bound revision? Interpretation: Pending controlled diagnostic inspection.

Remaining unknowns

• The exact facts established by the retained Issue, linked fix commit, and patch.
• The smallest discriminating evidence-gathering action after artifact inspection.

Next diagnostic actions

• Inspect the committed fixture and linked repository artifacts without modifying business code.

Active diagnosis

Current facts and evidence

• evidence.issue.request [verified] — Issue 52 requests inspection of the committed sparse-evidence fixture and explicitly forbids claiming a reproduced root cause, an unretained runtime error, or verified end-user success. Interpretation: The diagnosis must remain bounded to retained repository artifacts. Public evidence: [UAT] #46 disposable Root-to-Codex trace capture fixture #52.

Current hypotheses

• hypothesis.retained-artifacts-scope [open] — The retained Issue, linked commit, and patch can establish the historical change intent and code delta, but cannot alone establish a reproduced runtime root cause or verified user outcome.

Experiments

• experiment.inspect-retained-fixture [not_run] — What do the retained Issue, linked fix commit, and patch establish at the bound revision? Interpretation: Pending controlled diagnostic inspection.

Remaining unknowns

• The exact facts established by the retained Issue, linked fix commit, and patch.
• The smallest discriminating evidence-gathering action after artifact inspection.

Next diagnostic actions

• Inspect the committed fixture and linked repository artifacts without modifying business code.
