rdmsm4x changelog — 2026-08-28 15:33 — ReplicantDB UI target v2 IA memo

One-line summary: created a bounded, privacy-safe ReplicantDB UI target v2 decision memo with four structurally different light-mode dashboard layouts for approval.

Scope

• Host: rdmsm4x
• Project reference: /Users/richh/dev/apps/replicantDB (read-only)
• Deliverable: /Users/richh/dev/_handoff/codex-out/replicantdb-ui-target-v2-workers/ia-layouts.md
• Scope was limited to product information architecture and mockup guidance.

Files touched

• Created the handoff memo above.
• Created this changelog outside the canonical project checkout.
• No files in the ReplicantDB repository were edited.

Commands and evidence

• Read project/reference material and Tyrell/RTTy visual lineage read-only.
• Verified memo size: 317 lines, 4,133 words, 28,890 bytes.
• Verified memo SHA-256: b0fba1e83c12208fc446b7a94ab24181f92ef0432e629c44c0ad6fe1a0377c63.
• Ran a privacy-boundary scan for real paths, database-derived content, credentials, and indexed content; only intentional policy-language matches were present.
• Verified repository status: clean worktree; branch state observed as main...roodb-legacy/main [ahead 97].
• Did not access or query the live SQLite database.

Result

The memo proposes four genuinely different layouts: Coverage Atlas (recommended default Observatory), Pass Control Deck (live operations), Source & Storage Atlas (distribution/consolidation), and Evidence Review Board (anomalies/duplicates/evidence quality). All use fictional fixture data and explicitly preserve cloud-stub, read-only, and no-default-deduplication safety semantics.

Backup and rollback

The handoff memo is an additive file outside the repository. No existing project file was overwritten and no rollback action is required. If the handoff is rejected, remove only the handoff artifact and this changelog after confirming ownership.

Outstanding owner actions

• Lead to review/approve the four-frame mockup direction.
• If accepted, implement the mockup in the designated isolated worktree; do not infer unimplemented runtime contracts from the memo.
• Apple Notes changelog entry should be created by notes_changelog.zsh from the desktop session if required by fleet policy.
