Evidence-to-Target Binding

Overview

This capability owns the relationship and interaction layer between evidence items and structured targets. It provides evidence-link lifecycle operations, queries in both directions, active-state coordination, canonical engine-event emission, and the reference form integration used by the umbrella workspace.

Assessment notes

Discovery

The package boundary and contract deltas are documented and implemented, which supports D3. Promotion to D5 needs an explicit catalogue of actors, target-type variants, and prioritization beyond the current form-field workflow.

Availability

The capability is directly consumable as source code through the private TypeScript package and React exports. A2 is both current and the natural target.

Completeness

The main form-field evidence-binding flow works end to end. Broader target adapters and evidence-sufficiency behavior described in INTENT remain future scope, so the assessment stays at C3.

Reliability

Unit and DOM tests cover the service, state flow, and reference renderer, and the umbrella application consumes the package. That supports R3 for normal internal use, with medium confidence until more consumers provide evidence.
