Notes on evidence-backed review.

Define the scan contract first: authority, bytes, artifacts, persistence, failures, coverage, determinism, and downstream limits.

Follow the promotion boundary from private pain to synthetic fixture, rule, regression, public-safe summary, and owner-reviewed claim.

See what a static event-flow path can support, why the weakest hop caps it, and where runtime validation is still required.

See how two synthetic pages that both show a Save button keep distinct identities, and why ambiguity becomes a gap instead of an arbitrary match.

See why a precise-looking false location is worse than a labeled anchor, and how five location classes keep provenance honest without line-number claims.

See how a clean compile stays separate from analyzer capability and feature coverage, and why reduced coverage never turns 'not found' into 'not there'.

See how declared controls, candidate handlers, tiered handler resolution, and explicit gaps support Web Forms inventory and modernization planning without runtime claims.

See which persistent-graph and correctness ideas sharpened TraceMap, which behaviors were independently implemented, and which directions remained outside scope.

Follow an uncertainty from independent reproduction through a synthetic fixture, rule catalog, evidence tier, explicit gap, persistence, and owner question.

Follow a canonical symbol backward through persisted static evidence while keeping depth, relationship families, truncation, coverage, and gaps visible.

See why interface and override candidates help blast-radius review without proving which implementation a runtime container selected.

Read action-query, crosstab, event, lookup, copy-candidate, and coverage evidence as a gap register—not an automatic rebuild plan.

A historical defect taxonomy for recognizing C# graphs that look useful while quietly losing identity, direction, provenance, or coverage.

Why canonical identity, compiler-selected receivers, exact spans, syntax fallback, and loud gaps matter more than a convenient display-name graph.

A practical guide to direct bindings, lookup projections, subforms, expressions, event candidates, composed trails, and the gaps that remain unresolved.

A practical guide to obtaining reviewable Access evidence while keeping execution, reconstruction, raw design material, and operational conclusions outside the claim.

A source diff and a recorded build artifact answer different questions. See the evidence boundary TraceMap keeps between them.

A public-safe guide to reading checked-in SQL project refactor intent before anyone treats it as applied database state.

A practical research note on using static evidence, diffs, exact searches, and review memory for code-review retrieval.

A Swift API-client evidence story for reviewers who need app-to-backend context without runtime overclaims.

A process story about review pressure, claim levels, validation evidence, non-claims, and human ownership in TraceMap site work.

How to follow a public claim through proof surfaces, evidence tiers, limitations, and safe handoff language.

How specs, worktrees, review loops, and PR feedback keep a deterministic analysis project reviewable and resumable.

How dependency and contract-impact review turns into manual indexing work, and why TraceMap makes that work evidence-backed.

Why manual dependency indexing does not scale, and how static evidence packets make review work easier to hand off and revisit.
