How we know

Your agent says the tests passed. Did Salidium watch them pass, or is it passing on a sentence the agent wrote? Every line of a report answers that, and these are the five answers it can give.

Observed

Recorded by a runtime or by Salidium: a diff, an exit code, a commit. Never written by a model.

Reported

The agent's words, or yours. Relayed and attributed, never promoted to observed by parsing them.

Derived

Salidium's own deterministic working. Where a named rule decided it, that rule's id is carried with it.

Planned

Items from the agent's task list, which are intent rather than fact.

Explained

The optional written explanation, and only ever that. This is the word on the page: the badge reads explained.

Observed is the default and prints nothing. Only the exceptions are labelled, because a badge on every line would say the same thing everywhere and so say nothing.

When it cannot tell

Where the record does not establish something, Salidium says so rather than filling the gap.

• An exit code that was never observed stays unknown. It does not become zero.
• A duration it cannot compute prints unknown.
• Token counts it never saw are left out, not shown as nought.
• A session with nothing in it is grouped as nothing recorded rather than described.
