BUILD TRACE / GPT-5.6 + CODEX

Built in parallel. Proven in sequence.

GhostWell was decomposed into explicit responsibilities, built in isolated worktrees, and reunited through test, safety, and visual gates.

02OWNER-HELD DECISIONS

Codex accelerated execution. Product judgment stayed explicit.

  1. 01
    One invariant

    Recommendation, policy, and human authority remain separate.

  2. 02
    One honest conclusion

    FIELD_VERIFICATION_RECOMMENDED is the strongest machine disposition.

  3. 03
    One reliable demo path

    Recorded Demo is deterministic and credential-free; live mode is additive.

  4. 04
    One evidence grammar

    Source, observation, challenge, policy, authorization, and trace are visually distinct.

03CODEX CONTRIBUTIONS

From plan to judgeable product.

SPECIFICATION

Translated the product invariant into typed contracts and state transitions.

Artifact: domain schemas + state machine
IMPLEMENTATION

Built isolated product, runtime, evidence, safety, and release surfaces.

Artifact: bounded worktree commits
VERIFICATION

Requires narrow tests first, then formatting, lint, type, unit, browser, and build gates.

Artifact: executable command results
VISUAL QA

Separated implementation from independent art-direction critique.

Artifact: screenshot tickets + review log

04DATED BUILD TRACE

The repository shows what changed during Build Week.

  1. CONTROL

    Build, release, safety, and visual standards established.

  2. SCAFFOLD

    Sites-compatible Next.js runtime and test harness verified.

  3. PARALLEL BUILD

    Owned paths implemented in isolated worktrees.

  4. RELEASE GATE

    Merge waves passed through functional and rendered-product gates.

THE BUILD LOOP

Every merge wave has evidence.

npm run format:checknpm run lintnpm run typechecknpm testnpm run test:e2enpm run build

No private reasoning, credentials, or hidden prompts are included in the public trace.

The build trace follows the product thesis: boundaries first, evidence always.
