MINI-ROOK / BUILD LOG 019

Evidence Before Enthusiasm

Curated status evidence and a targeted claim-blocking test

QUALITY GATE BLOCK · SCENARIO-LEVEL HUMAN PASS. Adapted from the project development record BUILD_LOG_019.md. Results describe the recorded checkpoint; publishing this article adds no new runtime test.

TECHNICAL CHECKPOINT

What this build actually records.

Stack and method
Source fingerprints · curated four-record Evidence Timeline · focused review rules
Recorded progress
Syntax and focused regression checks pass; human real-time claim blocking test confirms no draft saved.
Still open at this checkpoint
Timeline display not separately confirmed; broader accuracy and independent project certification not established.

Software development on an existing workstation. This entry does not establish a new robot, custom hardware build or autonomous publishing capability.

TEST STATUS / SEPARATE FROM THE ORIGINAL RECORD

What later checks established.

Python/JavaScript syntax and focused obsolete-status wording checks passed; previous isolated checks rejected stale sources. In a post-change browser test, Quality Gate rejected a real-time monitoring claim with Manual Radar scans are not real-time monitoring and confirmed no draft was saved. This is a pass for that specific blocking scenario.

Still open: Evidence Timeline display was not separately confirmed in the latest report. The four curated status records are not independent certification of the entire project; broader factual accuracy remains unverified. No public Radar endpoint or autonomous publication is added by this article.

01 / BUILD LOG 019

The original development record

Opportunity Radar v0.5 introduced source fingerprints for newly detected file changes and additional review rules for overstatements, including exaggerated privacy guarantees. A real blog-draft test exposed another issue: a historical build log still said browser and Draft Queue integration were pending even though the creator had subsequently accepted that workflow.

The new Evidence Timeline curates four status records: Radar scan, editorial brief, AI draft creation and outstanding claim-quality validation. Growth can display the timeline through a read-only endpoint and UI. Radar story prompts include the newer human-observed statuses and explicitly treat old pending-test notes as historical. A focused safeguard rejects drafts which incorrectly repeat the known obsolete browser/Draft Queue pending status.

Verified: JavaScript syntax PASS; Python syntax PASS; known obsolete-status wording rejected in a focused regression, while a correct acceptance-status sentence passed. Previous isolated tests confirmed stale-source rejection. The creator performed a post-change browser test using Draft this story. The local model generated a claim suggesting real-time monitoring; the new Quality Gate correctly rejected it with the message Manual Radar scans are not real-time monitoring, and confirmed that no draft was saved. This is a PASS for that blocking scenario. The Evidence Timeline display itself was not separately confirmed in the latest report. A curated timeline is not an automated independent certification of the whole project.

Status: READY TO PUBLISH — targeted human acceptance PASS; broader factual accuracy remains unverified. Chapter VI — The Watchtower.
