Carniato source review — authority and feedback

Status: extracted; initial manual review, 2026-09-24, codex (self-review). Source: SRC-0001, Ryan Carniato, original article. Edition and date uncertainty: see the source catalog. No API-generated findings.

Claim Original locator Source statement, paraphrased Our interpretation
C01 Core Responsibilities, Content, paragraph 1 Content authority resides on the server. Authority placement is an assumption of this model.
C02 Core Responsibilities, Affordances, paragraph 1 Interaction feedback should precede a server round trip. Local feedback need not imply local authority.
C03 Content: Reactive reads over the wire, final paragraph The live graph must be reconstructible from durable state. Projection state and durable authority should be distinguished.

C03 was checked manually in the original; it is outside the bench excerpt.

Limits and counterexample

The article's universal framing is broader than this review supports. Local-first primary data challenges mandatory server authority; it does not refute separating responsibilities. Framework implementation claims and examples were not executed.

Disposition

Retain Server Authority and Immediate Feedback as candidates. Do not infer a requires edge between them. Recurrence and failure behavior need further evidence. Broader architecture comparisons remain open under FEP-WP-0002-T02/T03.

Preview source assessment — 2026-09-27

The bounded source-readiness review completes editorial traceability assessment for WP-0002 T02. The original extraction above is preserved; external claims were not re-fetched. Implementation/recurrence and human validation remain open in the named successor tasks; no maturity promotion.
