Layer 05 / Experiment Surface

Experiment Channel

Foundation active

Lab

The Lab route now acts as the foundation for an evolving engineering journal while keeping unpublished work clearly marked.

Publishing posture

Approved only

What ships here

  • Architecture notes and delivery reflections.
  • AI autonomy experiments with governed scope.
  • Frontend and platform write-ups once publication is approved.

Audit reference: docs/experiment/content-audit/content-inventory.md (no lab route discovered).

Taxonomy

5 tracks

Current operating tracks

  • Architecture

    System design notes, decision framing, and implementation tradeoff records.

  • AI

    Governed autonomy experiments, workflow lessons, and model-delivery observations.

  • Frontend

    Experience architecture, static-first UI execution, and quality-focused interface work.

  • Platform

    Tooling, CI/CD, infrastructure, and release-engineering foundations.

  • Experiments

    Approved exploratory work that does not cleanly fit the other operating tracks.

Entry queue

Placeholder slots for future approved entries

Each card uses the reusable journal-entry pattern that future published work can reuse without changing the page architecture.

Architecture

Placeholder entry

Architecture entry slot

Reserved for future approved architecture notes, system tradeoffs, and design-to-delivery reflections.

Placeholder only. No published architecture lab entry is approved yet. Audit baseline: docs/experiment/content-audit/content-inventory.md.

Planned

Placeholder entry

Frontend note slot

Reserved for future approved interface architecture notes, styling decisions, and accessibility-focused write-ups.
