recorded- Recording of real output
real- Real audit output
Do and don't
2 positive / 2 negative authored documentation examples (2 each required); 1 reference (1 required); 0 failed. References and failures do not count; this is not behavior acceptance.
Do: Sample provenance is explicit
Authored by sample-honesty.tsRendered consumer example; not an executed correctness check. caption Isolated document follows the browser's colour and contrast preferences. The outer theme toolbar does not control this document.
Open example: Sample honesty · Do: Sample provenance is explicit Use the full-page example to follow page links.
Do: Recorded output keeps its real-source obligation
Authored by sample-honesty.tsRule illustration; not an executed check. caption / caption.honesty
Use "Recording of real output" only alongside an actual retained recording and its source.
A scripted replay instead says that its sequence is scripted; this wording example is itself neither a recording nor execution evidence.Don't: A vague caption hides the data origin

| Rule | Why | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Every showcase and demo section carries an honesty caption. | Truthfulness (AGR-0001); the content review found 11 demo sections without one. | Automated: npm run site:copy and scripts/site/system/check-pages.ts |
API
No props.
Contract details
The full contract: identity, anatomy, variants, states, tokens, layout, motion, accessibility, content, tests
Identity
| Aspect | Value |
|---|---|
| Id | sample-honesty |
| Layer | Foundations |
| Category | foundation |
| Owner | Site system lead |
| Status | stable |
| Version | 1.0.0 |
| Source | apps/showcase/site/system/foundations/sample-honesty.ts (private repository; the contract and the render function are this one module) |
| Version | Date | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0.0 | 2026-10-26 | Sample honesty as one module: its markup moved out of the page builder (scripts/site) into the system. |
Use when
- Every figure, showcase and screen. Why: A demo must never be mistaken for a client's live data.
Do not use when
- Never skipped. Why: Uncaptioned evidence is a claim nobody can check.
Anatomy
| Part | What it is |
|---|---|
| caption | Caption atom, honesty variant |
| tokens | caption.sample, caption.scripted, caption.real-output; recorded-source wording belongs to the consuming caption, with no shared recording token |
Made of: nothing (a base element).
Used in: pages directly.
Variants
| Variant | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| light and dark | Every page, following the reader's setting. | The same roles resolve to light or dark values, so no element chooses its own. |
States
| State | Rendered or not applicable |
|---|---|
| default | The specimen. |
| hover | Not applicable: A foundation is not interactive. |
| focus-visible | Not applicable: Not focusable. |
| active | Not applicable: Not interactive. |
| disabled | Not applicable: Nothing to disable. |
| loading | Not applicable: Values are built into the stylesheet. |
| empty | Not applicable: The build fails if a value is missing. |
| error | Not applicable: Unresolved values fail the brand gate, not the reader. |
| current | Not applicable: No current item. |
| visited | Not applicable: Not a link. |
| expanded | Not applicable: Does not open. |
Tokens
| Part | Token |
|---|---|
| caption.sample | Sample data. |
| caption.scripted | Scripted example. |
| caption.real-output | Real audit output. |
Layout
| Aspect | Value |
|---|---|
| breakpoints | Required review at 390, 768, 1024 and 1440 px; execution is not implied by this declaration; columns stack under 768 px; the wrap keeps a 16 px gutter on phones. |
| wrapping | Text wraps; nothing scrolls sideways. |
| textExpansion | Japanese runs 20 to 40% longer; headings break between phrases (jaBreaks) and blocks grow downwards. |
Spacing and rhythm
| Aspect | Value |
|---|---|
| internal | Not applicable: a foundation has no box of its own. |
| external | Not applicable. |
| rhythm | Applies to every element that reads it. |
Motion
| Aspect | Value |
|---|---|
| None | A foundation does not move. |
Runtime and reuse
Render-only element; mount any registered child enhancements separately. Preserve required Site CSS, fonts, responsive and locale rules from nativeElement.
Accessibility passport
| Aspect | Value |
|---|---|
| role | Not rendered on the site; its specimen in the Library is a list |
| name | The foundation's name |
| keyboard | Not interactive. |
| focus | Not focusable. |
| screenReader | The specimen is a plain list of names and values. |
| contrast | Every text and ground pair in the palette is checked (check-brand). |
| target | Not a target. |
Content
| Slot | Length | Voice |
|---|---|---|
| provenance caption | Caption's existing two-sentence guidance: what it shows, then its source and limits | Use caption.sample, caption.scripted or caption.real-output for their actual meanings. Recordings retain the consuming element's recorded-source wording; they are not relabelled as scripted examples. A working renderer does not make sample data live client evidence. |
Good: “Sample data. The organisation and its rules are made up.” · “Recording of real output” · “Real audit output”
Bad: “Illustrative” · “Live client data (when the source is a synthetic sample)”
Japanese: Use the existing caption.sample, caption.scripted and caption.real-output Japanese values where authored; these remain AI drafts pending native review. Recorded-source captions retain their own meaning and explicit English source-language annotation for engine output. This guidance does not promote any translation's review state.
Icons and illustrations
None: this element uses no icon or illustration of its own.
Decisions and exceptions
Usage
0 owned-class occurrences in built pages plus metadata-token references in built CSS (measured by npm run site:system).
Application and coverage
Content policy (declared): Caption and owning ProductScreen/Replay consumers supply sample, scripted or real-output wording. copy-governance.ts checks supported demo disclosures and caption strings; site-honesty-captions is accepted/error and supported error findings block strict copy checks. Caption presence cannot authenticate a recording, client evidence or the truth of its provenance; recordings retain consumer-owned wording.
Current check result: not assessed by this report. Declarations and source-file presence do not establish executed enforcement or accepted coverage.
Source authority and implementation (paths in the private checkout):
apps/showcase/site/system/atoms/caption.tsscripts/site/copy-governance.tsscripts/site/check-copy.tsscripts/site/system/check-pages.tsapps/showcase/site/loom/rules/site-honesty-captions.json
Declared rules and checks (not execution results):
honesty.caption: Every showcase and demo section carries an honesty caption. Automated check declared: npm run site:copy and scripts/site/system/check-pages.ts
Coverage still needed (not assessed here):
- Retain current strict-copy results and missing-disclosure canaries in tests/unit/site-copy-enforcement.test.ts; inspect actual consumer captions in both languages.
- Review each source-kind claim against its real evidence. A renderer or disclosure check cannot establish client outcomes, an actual recording or external provenance.
Tests
| Aspect | Value |
|---|---|
| unit | tests/unit/site-system.test.ts: renders every do and don't example through the registry and checks the classes it owns |
| visual | Not yet: there are no screenshot baselines; the Library page is checked for sideways scroll at 1440 px by tests/site/system.spec.ts |
| a11y | tests/site/system.spec.ts: axe (0 serious or critical) on the element's Library page in light and dark |
| parity | scripts/site/system/check.ts: Library examples are rendered by the same render function the site imports |
Figma
not-yet: The Loom Site Figma library is the last stage of the plan; this element is not mapped yet.
