# Journey result: Veritas evidence trail

- **Walked**: 2026-05-29 by Claude (Opus 4.8) against commit `9455bc53ad`
- **Verdict**: **pass** — `/veritas` hub and `/veritas/evidence` render; the hub
  links to real topic/source/story/claim routes (all 200).
- **Walker**:
  `/tmp/claude-oshun-lt-2-walkthrough/walk.mjs veritas-evidence-trail`

## Observations

- `/veritas` h1 "The slow geometry of climate adaptation." (prior "no h1"
  fixed).
- `/veritas/evidence` renders the two-pane view (drift cases vs retractions)
  with resolution-state colour coding (rebuilt goal-3 `8ad5d6a4df`); prior 404
  fixed.
- Hub links to `/veritas/topic`, `/veritas/source`, `/veritas/story`,
  `/veritas/claim` — all 200. The `/veritas/claim/sample` 404 from the prior
  walk was a test placeholder (the app uses static `/veritas/claim`, not
  `/claim/[id]`).
- `/v1/veritas/briefing/home` → 200 via mock adapters (prior 401/500 resolved).
- 2026-06-23 addendum: `veritas-home-outage.spec.ts` boots a real outage-mode
  BFF and verifies `/v1/veritas/briefing/home` → 503 plus the `/veritas` browser
  no-lead render.

## Resolved since prior walk

- `/veritas/evidence` 404 — fixed. `/veritas` no h1 — fixed.
- `/v1/veritas/briefing/home` 401/500 — resolved (mock-adapter mode).
- Browser-induced downstream 503 — covered by the dedicated outage Playwright
  config and spec.

## 2026-06-29 topic/citation addendum

- `apps/oshun/web/e2e/veritas-evidence-trail.spec.ts` now opens `/veritas/topic`
  and verifies the topic masthead count attributes, settled/open row attributes,
  28-cell reading-history grid, primary-source rows, gaps lines, and static
  follow-status rows through `data-veritas-topic-*` anchors.
- The same spec now asserts the Sophia citation contract across claim, source,
  and counterclaim surfaces: selected-claim source rows expose source name,
  band, href, date, and quote; the Statnett source profile aligns with the cited
  A band, rationale, and history; and counterclaim evidence exposes source
  quality band, provenance, reviewer attestation, and excerpt hash.

## 2026-07-02 hub/evidence-rail addendum

- `veritas-evidence-trail.spec.ts` now covers the grounded `/veritas` hub as the
  journey entry into the real evidence trail: masthead, article, BFF-backed
  claim rail, action row, and subnav links render from
  `/v1/veritas/briefing/home`.
- The same test corrects the route contract: "Read sources" jumps to the real
  on-page `#veritas-evidence-rail`; direct `/veritas/claim` remains covered as
  the fallback/bookmark entry into claim mode.
