Triage Explainability Workspace

Status

Shipped on 2026-03-07 as the canonical triage owner shell.

• Canonical list route: /triage/artifacts
• Canonical detail route: /triage/artifacts/:artifactId
• Sibling supporting routes:
  • /triage/audit-bundles
  • /triage/audit-bundles/new
• Security alias routes:
  • /security/artifacts
  • /security/artifacts/:artifactId
• Verification note: docs/features/checked/web/triage-explainability-workspace-ui.md

Recommendation

Restore the useful triage workbench ideas by folding them into one canonical artifact workspace plus a sibling Audit Bundles page.

• Canonical list route: /triage/artifacts
• Canonical detail route: /triage/artifacts/:artifactId
• Sibling supporting page: /triage/audit-bundles
• Suggested user-facing title: Artifact Workspace

This capability should improve the active triage loop without preserving separate workbench brands.

Why This Is The Right Shape

• Quiet lane is fundamentally a queue segmentation pattern, not a product.
• AI recommendations and reason capsules are detail-side decision aids.
• Provenance and decision history belong next to the current artifact under review.
• Audit bundles are real operator workflows, but still belong beside triage rather than as an isolated product.

Operator Modes

1. Queue Management Mode

• Used by operators deciding what to review now, later, or quietly.
• Focus: list tabs and bulk actions.

2. Decision Workbench Mode

• Used by analysts inside artifact detail.
• Focus: evidence, explanation, recommendations, and verdict history.

3. Audit Packaging Mode

• Used by auditors and operators preparing evidence bundles.
• Focus: bundle creation, export, and traceability.

Recommended IA

Artifact Workspace layers

• List layer
  • segmented by lane
• Detail layer
  • current artifact workspace with contextual explainability panels

List-layer tabs

• Active
• Quiet Lane
• Needs Review

Detail-layer panels or secondary tabs

• AI Recommendations
• Reason Capsule
• Provenance
• Decision History

Sibling page

• Audit Bundles
  • list, create, inspect, download

Page Anatomy

Artifact list page

• top controls:
  • search
  • severity
  • reachability
  • VEX state
  • policy state
  • assignee
  • lane
• list rows:
  • key risk facts
  • quick explanation summary
  • next recommended action
• bulk actions:
  • move to quiet lane
  • promote for review
  • assign
  • build audit bundle

Artifact detail page

• center column:
  • artifact/finding summary
  • evidence trail
  • active decision controls
• right rail or lower secondary tabs:
  • AI recommendations
  • reason capsule
  • provenance
  • decision history
• contextual actions:
  • apply suggestion
  • request exception
  • open witness
  • export evidence

Audit Bundles page

• bundle list with scope, owner, created time, and status
• create flow with artifact selection and evidence inclusion choices
• download and verify actions

Route Contract

Keep one route family for artifact workspace and one sibling route for audit bundles.

Canonical routes

• /triage/artifacts
• /triage/artifacts/:artifactId
• /triage/audit-bundles
• /triage/audit-bundles/new

Query-param state

• lane=active|quiet|review
• panel=ai|reason|provenance|history
• returnTo=<encoded route> for security, evidence, or release-context entry points

Alias rules

• Security > Artifacts should use the same route family instead of owning a second triage workspace
• any future exception or findings entry points should deep-link into the same artifact detail route

What To Merge

Merge into list layer

• QuietLaneWorkbenchComponent

Merge into detail layer

• AiRecommendationWorkbenchComponent
• ReasonCapsuleWorkbenchComponent
• AiCodeGuardBadgeComponent
• SnapshotViewerComponent
• UnknownsListComponent

Keep as real sibling page

• TriageAuditBundlesComponent
• TriageAuditBundleNewComponent

Single Actions And Supporting Surfaces

Apply AI suggestion

• keep inside artifact detail
• do not create a dedicated route

Reason capsule

• keep as a contextual panel or secondary tab
• never separate it from the active decision context

Quiet-lane promote, snooze, or TTL extend

• keep as row or bulk actions in the list view

Audit-bundle creation

• allow a dedicated new route because it has a multi-step operator flow

Cross-Product Entry Points

• Security > Findings
  • deep-link into artifact detail with panel=reason or panel=provenance
• Evidence
  • link to Audit Bundles and artifact evidence panels
• Reachability
  • open witness drawers from artifact detail
• Decisioning Studio
  • deep-link into the artifact decision context when a policy verdict needs human review

UI Standards For Implementation

• Keep list and detail behaviors in one coherent workspace.
• Use lane tabs or segmented controls rather than separate pages for queue modes.
• Use stable query-param panel state for explainability surfaces.
• Preserve evidence-first decision making; AI is advisory, never opaque.
• Keep audit packaging as a real page because it has lifecycle and exports.

Non-Goals

• Do not preserve AI Recommendation Workbench or Reason Capsule Workbench as standalone brands.
• Do not move quiet-lane logic to a separate product shell.
• Do not scatter audit, evidence, and explainability flows across different owners.
