The Queen foundation snapshot now has a source contract
[measured] Merged PR #937 adds a dated foundation snapshot and a fixture-backed contract that keeps the page source visible.
- THE SNAPSHOTDated counts carry a receipt trail.
- THE SOURCERoute first, checked-in file second.
- THE CONTRACTA fixture checks source and count.
[measured] Merged [PR #937](https://github.com/gHashTag/trinity/pull/937) puts a dated Queen foundation snapshot and its source contract on the page. The public [merge commit](https://github.com/gHashTag/trinity/commit/d12883f03324b99ca7206db38e49f1a299073ced) adds the snapshot, a hex-sand asset, a fixture-backed QA contract, and the page wiring.
A snapshot with a receipt trail
[proven] The snapshot is generated at 2026-09-05T14:18:58Z. It records 1,009 closed issues, 17 epics with 419 children, 21 rings, and 2 releases. The raw JSON is 284 KB and the compressed brotli form is 40 KB, as recorded in the merged change.

| Epics and children | 17 / 419 |
| Rings | 21 |
| Releases | 2 |
The page contract is the useful part
[proven] The page reads the server route /queen/public-foundation first and the checked-in file second, refreshing the source every 60 seconds. The viewport exposes data-foundation="N@generatedAt:source", so a rendered view can say how many records it used and where they came from.
[measured] The new check:queen-foundation contract uses a 37-issue fixture. It checks the route response, accepts the route 404 as a wire-stage condition, and then requires the viewport to expose 37@<moment>:file. This tests provenance instead of treating a green page as proof that its data is current.
What is established
- [measured] PR #937 is merged and its public diff adds the foundation snapshot, the source contract, and the page wiring.
- [proven] The snapshot has a timestamp and explicit counts, while the page reports source and record count through data-foundation.
- [proven] The repository adds an automated foundation contract rather than relying on a screenshot or an unlabelled number.
What is not established
- The server route is not established as live by this merge; the contract explicitly tolerates its current 404 while the checked-in file remains the fallback.
- A dated repository snapshot is not proof that the underlying GitHub ledger is complete, current, or independently verified.
- The change does not establish a deployed honeycomb interaction, a production deployment, performance, FPGA hardware, a crystal, speed, energy, or downstream-model result.
A page becomes more auditable when its number carries a timestamp and a source, not just a visual shape.
What this does not settle
- The server route /queen/public-foundation is not established as live by this merge; the contract records a route 404 as a wire-stage condition and uses the file fallback.
- A dated repository snapshot does not independently prove that the underlying GitHub ledger is complete or current.
- The change does not establish a deployed honeycomb interaction, production deployment, performance, FPGA hardware, a crystal, speed, energy, or downstream-model result.
