History
History is the durable result surface for North Star.
What a result contains
Section titled “What a result contains”A useful result explains:
- the original objective
- what changed
- which checks passed or failed
- what was inspected on the real target
- decisions made by the operator
- the exact source and deployed version
- the remaining boundary
- the recovery or rollback path
Filter by what you need
Section titled “Filter by what you need”History can be filtered by project, work item, result type, or search text. The goal is not to display every internal event. It is to make a material claim traceable to the evidence that supports it.
Failed work remains useful
Section titled “Failed work remains useful”A failed or stopped task can still produce a good record. It should explain the blocking condition, the checks already performed, preserved work, and the safest next entry point.
Evidence does not grant access
Section titled “Evidence does not grant access”Public documentation and examples never expose the private History surface. The protected system may include source paths, screenshots, or operational records that are useful to the owner but unsuitable for a public site.
