Evidence

Read the request evidence

Evidence preserves the full request context: identity → Ability → decision → outcome. Read it in that order.

The shape of a record

Identity
The managed agent, its environment, and the connection it authenticated with.
Ability
The exact registered name, plus its classification at the time of the request.
Context
The redacted input preview and the target the action would affect.
Decision
Which gate answered, what it decided, and why.
Outcome
What actually happened, and what changed in WordPress.

Reading it in order

Work top to bottom and stop as soon as the record answers your question. Most investigations end at decision — the gate is named, and the fix follows from which gate it was.

Only continue to outcome when the request actually executed and you need to know what it touched. That is the section recovery works from.

Linked, not duplicated

Evidence is linked to the decision rather than copied into it. An outcome points at the objects affected, so recovery can act on exactly those and nothing else. It is not a text log you have to parse.

Written before the result is returned

The decision is recorded before the agent gets its response. There is no window in which an action has happened and the record has not caught up.

Activity & evidence

Keep the boundary while you fix the problem.

A good fix restores intended behaviour without creating a second path around WordPress or the governed request lifecycle.
