FAQ
Is AIE an industry standard?
Section titled “Is AIE an industry standard?”No. AIE is a Research Draft / experimental standards track. The plane marks it as such everywhere it renders. Claims about maturity levels come from the ISR audit registry and are never upgraded by this portal.
Can this portal lie?
Section titled “Can this portal lie?”It can render a stale view, and it says so when it does (freshness statuses,
per-page provenance, site_commit bounds). It cannot silently misattribute
ownership — every page binds to its source repo@SHA, and builds fail on
dangling links, non-allowlisted repos, or private leakage.
Why do some sources show SOURCE_MOVED?
Section titled “Why do some sources show SOURCE_MOVED?”A pinned repository advanced after the pin was taken. That alone is not
drift: if every consumed artifact is byte-identical, status is
SOURCE_MOVED_CONTENT_UNCHANGED (dependabot churn — harmless). Only consumed
artifact changes count as semantic drift. Policy:
ADR-004.
Who updates the pins?
Section titled “Who updates the pins?”Humans, explicitly, via scripts/adopt-source.mjs + a reviewable commit.
The scheduled verifier reports drift and opens adoption issues; it never
auto-pins.
Is the Docs MCP write-capable?
Section titled “Is the Docs MCP write-capable?”No — structurally. It reads built artifacts only: no shell, no network, no
write path. Every response carries the build’s site_commit. Boundary:
Docs MCP.
What is a context pack?
Section titled “What is a context pack?”A portable JSON bundle per page (schema aftergraph.context-pack.v0):
canonical owner, source commit, dependency contracts, related claims, next
reading, freshness constraints — designed for agents (ACC-shaped). Fetch from
/context/index.json. Spec: ADR-005.
Are benchmark results “live” results?
Section titled “Are benchmark results “live” results?”No — the ISR audit reclassified benchmark workloads as deterministic sandboxed runs with calibrated error baselines. Live cross-provider results exist (STUDY-011) and are tracked as a separate evidence class. The claim register preserves both, verbatim.
Can I use the Aftergraph brand?
Section titled “Can I use the Aftergraph brand?”The brand tokens are v1.0.0, provisional — not trademark-cleared. See
Brand and the Aftergraph/brand repository for current
status.
