**Git Commit Tracking** - Automatically capture git commit hash when claims/observations are ingested - Store in assertion metadata for temporal context and audit trails - Graceful degradation in non-git environments - Solves double-commit problem by capturing hash at ingestion time **Implementation** - walker/git.rs: get_current_commit_hash() utility function - bridge.rs: Accept optional git_commit parameter in all conversion functions - episteme/local: Store project_root, capture git hash during ingestion - 5 new tests for git hash tracking + metadata validation - All 1162 aphoria tests passing **Documentation Overhaul** - README: Added Observations vs Claims distinction, git tracking, dashboard - CLI Reference: New sections for git integration and ignore/exclusion system - Comprehensive ignore documentation: .aphoriaignore, inline comments, 4 methods - Enhanced verification engine docs with matching capabilities - DOCUMENTATION_UPDATES.md: Complete audit summary **Dashboard Separation** - Moved Aphoria-specific UI from stemedb-dashboard to aphoria-dashboard - Clean separation of concerns: StemeDB for core, Aphoria for security - Added dashboard documentation and setup guides Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Documentation Gaps (Future Work)
|
|
|
|
### Minor Gaps
|
|
|
|
1. **New Extractors** (from commit 183238d)
|
|
- 7 new extractors added but not listed in user-facing docs
|
|
- **Recommendation**: Add extractor list to architecture docs or separate reference
|
|
- **Priority**: Low (implementation details, not user-facing)
|
|
|
|
2. **Coverage Analysis** (from A5)
|
|
- `aphoria coverage` command exists but not prominent in README
|
|
- **Recommendation**: Add to Key Commands table
|
|
- **Priority**: Low (advanced feature)
|
|
|
|
3. **Explain/Docs Generation** (from A5)
|
|
- `aphoria explain` and `aphoria docs generate` commands exist
|
|
- Documented in CLI reference but not highlighted
|
|
- **Recommendation**: Add example to README
|
|
- **Priority**: Low (advanced feature)
|
|
|
|
4. **Hosted Mode Integration**
|
|
- `--sync` flag documented but hosted setup not prominent
|
|
- **Recommendation**: Add hosted mode guide
|
|
- **Priority**: Low (enterprise feature)
|
|
|

## Documentation Quality Assessment
|
|
|
|
### Strengths
|
|
|
|
- ✅ **Comprehensive CLI Reference** - Every command documented with examples
|
|
- ✅ **Multiple Audience Guides** - Solo developer, enterprise, pilot-specific
|
|
- ✅ **Clear Navigation** - `guides/README.md` acts as effective hub
|
|
- ✅ **Real Examples** - Code snippets throughout
|
|
- ✅ **Architecture Transparency** - `vision-gaps.md` shows honest status
|
|
|
|
### Areas for Improvement
|
|
|
|
- ⚠️ **Quickstart could be more prominent** - README Quick Start is good, but could link to guides sooner
|
|
- ⚠️ **Dashboard integration** - Now documented but could have dedicated guide
|
|
- ⚠️ **Video walkthrough** - Would benefit from recorded demo
|
|
- ⚠️ **FAQ section** - Common questions not consolidated
|
|
|
|
