Proof

Capture screenshots, recordings, traces, logs, and verification notes as evidence for agent work.

Proof is ADE’s evidence system. It lets an agent or human attach concrete verification to a chat, lane, PR, Linear issue, or worker task.

Proof kinds

Kind	Use it for
Screenshot	Show the visible state of an app or browser.
Recording	Capture a short interaction or repro.
Browser trace	Preserve browser steps and diagnostics.
Console logs	Attach useful runtime output.
Verification note	Record what was checked and why it passed.

Why proof matters

Agents often say they tested something. Proof makes that claim inspectable. A PR with a screenshot, a test log, and a short summary is easier to review than a PR with only a chat transcript.

Where proof appears

• Chat artifact panels.
• Lane and History records.
• PR detail views.
• Linear issue updates when connected.
• Worker activity when a worker captures it.

Basic flow

1. Capture

   Use the proof controls or ask the agent to capture evidence for a completed step.

2. Review

   Open the artifact and confirm it shows the right thing.

3. Attach

   Link it to the PR, Linear issue, chat, or lane that needs the evidence.
