Tracebench is organized as a generic observability pipeline.

→ artifact registry
→ retrieval / comparison / clustering

The public core is intentionally generic. It contains observability primitives, synthetic/test fixtures, and validation packet machinery.
It does not contain private model adapters, DAW instrumentation, production telemetry wiring, proprietary extractors, calibration logic, real traces, tensors, corpora, or deployment-specific provenance mappings.
Tracebench records and compares observations.
It does not decide whether a candidate is admissible, does not issue receipts, and does not mutate authoritative state.
The intended architectural relationship is:
Tracebench
observation surface / evidence packet
Constitutional Runtime Substrate
admissibility surface / receipt / lineage / replay
The two are complementary, not interchangeable.
The public repository may document generic adapter interfaces and synthetic examples.
A real domain adapter should be treated as a separate integration with its own verification boundary. The existence of an adapter interface must not be read as evidence that any private adapter, extractor, or telemetry provenance path is included here.
