# Confidence Evidence

This directory is the visible evidence system for the project. Keep it understandable to people who did not participate in the implementation.

## Files

- `system-map.md`: the evaluated boundary and important dependencies.
- `risks.yaml`: ranked plausible failures, unacceptable outcomes, owners, and status.
- `claims.yaml`: falsifiable claims and the evidence required to support them.
- `evals/`: cases, rubrics, configurations, run results, and analysis.
- `incidents/`: production failures, containment, impact, evidence, and regression promotion.
- `dashboard.template.json`: starter schema for a visual evidence summary.
- `dashboard.json` and `dashboard.html`: current structured data and rendered confidence dashboard when the result warrants one.
- `dashboards/`: optional dated dashboard snapshots for important decisions or incidents.
- `traces/changed-files.jsonl`: minimal edit metadata recorded by the plugin hook.
- `release-report.md`: current ship, canary, hold, rollback, or more-evidence decision.

Use `method_refs` for CARBON's stable `TAI-*` operational method-pack IDs and
`book_refs` only for exact chapter or theme references actually supplied by the
Testing AI companion plugin. The method layer works without the companion; do
not invent chapter citations when it was not used.

Raw traces belong in `traces/raw/` and are ignored by default. Review them for secrets and personal data before preserving or sharing them.
