+# Triage Workspace
+
+The triage workspace (`/triage/artifacts/:artifactId`) is optimized for high-frequency analyst workflows: navigate findings, inspect reachability and signed evidence, and record VEX decisions with minimal mouse interaction.
+
+## Keyboard shortcuts
+
+Shortcuts are ignored while typing in `input`, `textarea`, `select`, or any `contenteditable` region.
+
+| Shortcut | Action |
+| --- | --- |
+| `J` | Jump to first incomplete evidence pane for the selected finding. |
+| `Y` | Copy the selected attestation payload to the clipboard. |
+| `R` | Cycle reachability view: path list → compact graph → textual proof. |
+| `/` | Switch to the Reachability tab and focus the search box. |
+| `S` | Toggle deterministic sort for the findings list. |
+| `A` | Quick VEX: open the VEX modal with status “Affected (unmitigated)”. |
+| `N` | Quick VEX: open the VEX modal with status “Not affected”. |
+| `U` | Quick VEX: open the VEX modal with status “Under investigation”. |
+| `?` | Toggle the keyboard help overlay. |
+| `↑` / `↓` | Select previous / next finding. |
+| `←` / `→` | Switch to previous / next evidence tab. |
+| `Enter` | Open the VEX modal for the selected finding. |
+| `Esc` | Close overlays (keyboard help, reachability drawer, attestation detail). |
+
+## Evidence completeness (`J`)
+
+`J` navigates to the first incomplete evidence area for the selected finding using this order:
+
+1. Missing VEX decision → opens the VEX modal.
+2. Reachability is `unknown` → switches to the Reachability tab.
+3. Missing signed evidence → switches to the Attestations tab.
+4. Otherwise, shows “All evidence complete”.
+
+## Deterministic sort (`S`)
+
+When deterministic sort is enabled, findings are sorted by:
+
+1. Reachability (reachable → unknown → unreachable → missing)
+2. Severity
+3. Age (modified/published date)
+4. Component (PURL)
+
+Ties break by CVE and internal vulnerability ID to keep ordering stable.
