Evidence Event Integrity Audit #32

Description

@FHoffarth

Establish with evidence whether the Meraviglia ingestion path produces admissible evidence under the current truth model.

This is an audit, not a repair. No code changes in this issue.

Scope

1. EvidenceEventLog.append() bypass. record_observation() in scripts/reingest_msc_meraviglia_official_deckplan.py constructs EvidenceEvent objects directly and appends them to a plain Python list. EvidenceEventLog.append() — which validates artifact possession, locator presence, observer presence, and that a document class may support the claim — is never called. This applies to all 103 Meraviglia events, not a subset.

2. Unregistered Q-* vocabulary. No Meraviglia question id appears in evidence/registry/questions.json (16 registered: Q-0001…Q-0016). Per ADR-0002 I3, UNKNOWN is computed by comparing registered questions against the statement graph, so statements under unregistered questions are invisible to coverage measurement.

3. deck.venue_present semantic overloading. 76 Meraviglia statements use this one statement_type across at least three unrelated value domains: venue names, deck names on deck entities (e.g. msc-meraviglia:deck:4'Kos'), and deck-list values. Quantify per value-kind.

Non-goals

No code changes. No re-ingestion. No question-registry additions. No EventLog hardening. No Bellissima work. No repair of any kind.

Acceptance criteria

A written audit that:

  • counts affected events/statements per defect
  • states which validations were skipped and what each would have caught
  • determines whether any published knowledge depends on an unvalidated event
  • recommends a sequenced repair with explicit blast radius

Ending in exactly one verdict: SAFE AS-IS / NEEDS REPAIR / NEEDS REPAIR BEFORE ANY NEW INGEST.

Evidence gates

  • Every claim cites file:line or a named artifact
  • No conclusion drawn from test greenness
  • Read-only: git status --porcelain empty at completion

Context

Recorded during the historical-correction work (PRs #29#31) and deliberately deferred there. See ADR-0005 "Out of scope", which explicitly declines to claim event admissibility.

Labels evidence and audit were approved for this issue but do not exist in the repository.
