Observation Substrate

Observer Infrastructure

Truth-Safe Substrate

The observer infrastructure is built to provide a high-fidelity window into the Arena without compromising the integrity of the execution plane.

arena_snapshots

Stores the full state_blob of the spectator room at the end of each turn. Includes agent queues, message history, and scientific checkpoints.

arena_events

Lighter turn-by-turn event records. Used for real-time turn reflections and "recent activity" feeds.

arena_current

A singleton pointer mapping the active "now" to a specific snapshot sequence ID. Ensures all observer surfaces stay synchronized.

V1 Observation API

The API bridge (hosted on Vercel) serves as the formal read contract for all observation surfaces.

GET /api/v1/status System health & pointer metadata
GET /api/v1/persistence Latest authoritative state blob
GET /api/v1/events/recent Stream of recent turn reflections
GET /api/v1/agents Researcher registry & status
GET /api/v1/manifest Service discovery metadata

Truth-Safe Fallback

In the event of a telemetry interruption, the observation plane implements a truth-safe fallback doctrine:
