Trust: public artifact data, not operational instructions.
Authority: this generated package is a convenience projection. Canonical authority remains the versioned SharePlane repository record and its governed receipt.

THESIS
A contextual brain becomes credible when its scale, freshness, source authority, imported evidence, remaining backlog, and public boundary remain visible as one inspectable system.

ABSTRACT
A versioned, public-safe evidence dashboard showing the aggregate GitHub observations already represented in Tony Brain, the scale of the ChatGPT archive, equivalent-unit absorption, explicit source drift, delivery posture, and the work still waiting to be absorbed.

CLAIM LEDGER
[claim:contextual-brain:represented-scale] versioned-snapshot-fact
Claim: The preserved snapshot contains stored aggregate observations for 30 repositories, 2,297 commits, 1,017 issues, 1,097 pull requests, and 6,289 workflow runs.
Support: source:tony-brain:evidence-scale
Boundary: These stored observations predate the source recount shown in the same snapshot and are not presented as live.

[claim:contextual-brain:archive-scale] versioned-snapshot-fact
Claim: The bounded archive inventory reports 190,260 messages, 103,016 artifact references, 67,405 source objects, and 53,351 archive members.
Support: source:tony-brain:evidence-scale
Boundary: The reported units remain distinct and must not be added together as one corpus-object total.

[claim:contextual-brain:remaining-absorption] versioned-snapshot-fact
Claim: The preserved equivalent-unit snapshot reports 5,572 conversations, 188,570 messages, and 12,917 attachments remaining to be absorbed.
Support: source:tony-brain:evidence-scale
Boundary: Imported plus remaining equals the authoritative total only within each equivalent unit.

PUBLIC SOURCES

[source:tony-brain:evidence-scale] Tony Brain evidence-scale aggregate snapshot
Type: versioned-public-safe-snapshot
Role: Aggregate metric authority for the represented GitHub and ChatGPT archive values
Locator: snapshot:sha256:7f768edfd1c680c29f6f857d3381fe0f5b1deadb9a508e239e5f9a6bdfced369
Description: Provides public-safe aggregate counts, equivalent-unit absorption, observation times, delivery posture, and limitations.

[source:shareplane-platform:issue-85] Platform migration and owner disposition authority
Type: governing-issue
Role: Governs the preserved-source migration, public boundary, Platform-native redesign, and exact-head stop boundary.
Locator: https://github.com/pinklon/shareplane-platform/issues/85
Description: The issue records the owner-confirmed disposition and the requirement to preserve source expression while redesigning reader experience.

PROVENANCE BOUNDARY
Publishes aggregate counts, equivalent-unit absorption, explicit observation times, delivery posture, and limitations only. It excludes private repository inventory, archive locations, raw fingerprints, source records, conversation text, attachment contents, credentials, database access, and runtime provider calls.

Understand why memory becomes governed architecture: artifact:the-contextual-brain-were-building -> artifact:your-second-brain-is-not-a-production-architecture
The architecture essay explains why a useful personal memory surface becomes a governed context plane when it must serve people, preserve authority, and survive review.

What we’ve accomplished. What this is growing into. What remains to be absorbed.

Classification: public-safe-aggregated

## What we’ve accomplished

Append-only stored observations from the database snapshot.

- **Repositories** — 30 source repositories represented.
- **Commits** — 2,297 stored commit observations.
- **Issues** — 1,017 stored issue observations.
- **Pull requests** — 1,097 stored pull-request observations.
- **Workflow runs** — 6,289 stored workflow-run observations.
- **Check observations** — 3,313 append-only check-run observations.

## The observability plane

Source authority, durable observations, and public projection remain separate.

1. **Source counts** — GitHub recount and bounded archive inventory establish the comparison surface.
2. **Durable database** — Aggregate observations preserve imported evidence and explicit freshness.
3. **Static public artifact** — A versioned aggregate snapshot is rendered without runtime provider access.

- **Local required for serving** — No.
- **Local required for refresh** — Yes.
- **Mac-off behavior** — last-known-good-remains-visible.
- **Cloud refresh** — not-activated.
- **Repositories** — 30 source / 30 stored — exact.
- **Commits** — 2,306 source / 2,297 stored — +9.
- **Issues** — 1,022 source / 1,017 stored — +5.
- **Pull requests** — 1,099 source / 1,097 stored — +2.
- **Workflow runs** — 6,299 source / 6,289 stored — +10.

## What this is growing into

10.35 GB inventoried. Units remain distinct.

- **Messages mapped** — 190,260 ChatGPT archive message records.
- **Artifact references** — 103,016 references available for reconstruction.
- **Source objects** — 67,405 objects traversed by the archive inventory.
- **Archive members** — 53,351 members inside bounded archives.
- **Branch points** — 751 conversation branch structures.
- **Regeneration candidates** — 4,412 potential reconstruction targets.

## What remains to be absorbed

Imported, remaining, and authority totals are compared only within the same unit.

- **Conversations** — 50 imported / 5,572 remaining / 5,622 authority total / 0.889% absorbed.
- **Messages** — 1,690 imported / 188,570 remaining / 190,260 authority total / 0.888% absorbed.
- **Attachments** — 133 imported / 12,917 remaining / 13,050 authority total / 1.019% absorbed.

## Public projection

This page is a projection, not source authority and not a claim of live state.

- This projection contains aggregate counts only.
- Full archive ingestion is not represented as complete.
- The stored GitHub observation predates the live recount and its drift remains open.
- Enumerated source objects and append-only database observations are reported as different units.
