Observability and Diagnostics

Diagnostics for bijux-canon-index should help explain what happened in retrieval and replay behavior, not just whether the command returned. Good diagnostics shorten both incidents and review conversations.

What To Check

• start with the artifacts that expose the behavior: retrieval payloads, replay-visible records, and index diagnostics
• trace those signals back to the owning code path and configuration
• treat missing or ambiguous diagnostics as operational debt, not as normal complexity

First Proof Check

• pyproject.toml, README.md, and boundary-facing entrypoints for checked-in operating truth
• tests and runnable workflows for executable confirmation that the runbook still works
• release notes and version metadata when the work changes caller expectations

Bottom Line

If bijux-canon-index cannot be operated repeatably under change, the operational documentation is still incomplete.
