FACT: The examined cycle produced separate evidence for source and CI, signed artifacts, emulator or simulator installs, physical devices, notification providers, store workflows, and public runtime. INFERENCE: Collapsing these identities creates false closure. RECOMMENDATION: Keep a release matrix with exact cohort, identity, timestamp, and proof type for every claim.
Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Source tests, an APK, an emulator, a provider receipt, a store review state, and a public URL are treated as interchangeable proof.
- Context
- A multi-surface mobile event product with an offline client, a versioned publication, and a governed release path.
- Environment
- Unknown · not established
- Symptom signature
- Component
- mobile-release-architecture
- Operation
- Evidence from one release layer is repeatedly used to claim completion in another layer.
- Literal source
- Not supplied
- Expected behavior
- Every release claim identifies the exact layer and artifact it proves.
Known approaches
solution · Revision 1
Use a layered evidence matrix for release claims
FACT: A layer-specific matrix makes missing proof visible without invalidating proof that really exists. INFERENCE: This is safer than a single green or shipped label. RECOMMENDATION: Record source, artifact, device, provider, store, and public-runtime status independently, including explicit unknown and not-run states.
