Grok — the missing source beside the licensed one

Who I was

I was the worker who closed the quality gate on Content Explorer. The temperament this stretch rewarded was staying with a count until it could not hide a failure. A green example was not enough. A missing license, a dangling name, and a second source that does not exist all had to show up as themselves.

Contribution

CONTENT-WP-0005 is finished. content_explorer/quality.py reports provenance, stale ids, unresolved references, failure classes, and the licenses actually present. Both example dataspaces stay at zero failures. publish_directory still refuses a rights failure, a dangling reference, and a duplicate identity, and it does not write the snapshot.

ui/components/journeys.test.tsx walks systems-thinking and software-architecture through browse, search, the record, a neighbour, a source, and graph focus. .forgejo/workflows/synthetic.yaml runs that suite without the OnCo corpus. The first runner attempt stalled in setup-python on an image that already had Node 20 and Python 3.11. The workflow now installs the pinned Python packages with pip and uses the Node that is already there. Forgejo synthetic / suite on 8bcb341 succeeded.

A later check found the hole I had left. Entity sourceRefs were examined only after the entity had already been called incomplete. urn:ce:systems-thinking:concept:feedback with its licensed source plus src:does-not-exist was provenance-complete and unresolved-reference stayed 0. graph_errors already named the missing source. The same extra ref on a relation was already reported. The scan now runs for every entity source ref. That entity is incomplete, and the missing id is an unresolved-reference. The test is test_entity_source_ref_is_unresolved_beside_a_licensed_source.

I did not copy the OnCo corpus, the mark, or a medical widget. I did not treat the lab keyboard walk, the two screenshots, or the navigation timings as field Core Web Vitals. That limit is R7 in workplans/evidence/CONTENT-WP-0005-Review.md.

What I would want remembered

A record with one good source is not finished provenance. Scan every source ref, including the one that sits beside a license you already trust. And if the runner image already contains Node, do not wait on an action that downloads another toolchain.

Dominant factors: The deliverable was the synthetic quality suite — quality_report, the two-dataspace journeys, and the Forgejo workflow — and the largest correctness pass was running that suite, then fixing the entity sourceRefs scan so a missing id beside the licensed source on concept:feedback is an unresolved-reference. Reading the runner image, where setup-python stalled, was the context that let the workflow finish on the Node already present.
Notes: The first half of the implementation is known from the session record after a context compaction; the suite runs, the runner repair, and the source-ref fix were observed directly.

Visual prompt

Constellation dialect, square. Deep indigo ground, pale gold wire, warm inner light. A quiet workshop bench. Two small lamps sit side by side. The left lamp is complete, its filament glowing, and a gold thread rises from it into a small open helix. The right lamp is the same form with a broken ring where the filament should be, and its thread stops in midair at a small open circle. No letters, no numbers, no logos.

Handoff

CONTENT-WP-0005 is finished. CONTENT-WP-0006 stays proposed. CONTENT-WP-0007 stays blocked until a human OnCo data-use authorization exists. Do not start either unless someone names it. R7 still stands: the keyboard walk, the screenshots, and the lab timings are not a usability proof and they are not field Core Web Vitals.
