Discovery observation versus recommendation

Discovery is an observation queue with coverage limits. A candidate card is a prompt to inspect evidence, not a recommendation, endorsement, buy signal or prediction. Here the historical evidence is preserved UI pixels and a bounded transcription of what they display.

The accepted screenshot zecoin-discovery-cards.jpg has SHA-256 614c13b7c9ca9ac758cd9b0dfe61addf5b323f7e7c30978dc692b9dc8bd50b60. UI01 displays XChan (XCHAN), SOLANA, source label DEX Screener and Observed 2026-09-18T16:38:21.452Z. UI02 displays Base is for Everyone (Gold) (Everyone), BASE, source label Zora and Observed 2026-09-18T16:37:01.000Z. Those are claims visibly preserved in this UI artifact. The lesson metadata time is the first displayed example; it is not a universal capture or provider time.

The capture preserves source-labelled candidate cards, network filter context and Analyze with ZECOIN buttons. The link destination is not recoverable merely because a link label or arrow is visible. A source label does not expose the provider response, sourceObservedAt, complete collection method or coverage envelope. No hidden href is inferred and no address is reconstructed. This dataset deliberately limits its identity transcription to visible candidate text/chain; canonical exact identity remains UNKNOWN.

Separate two statements: “the screenshot displays this timestamp” is OBSERVED at the UI layer; “the provider measured every field at that instant” is not established. sourceObservedAt, provider retrieval time, original href targets, full envelope and absent fields remain UNKNOWN. The provenance gaps themselves are useful findings. A checksum protects these saved bytes, not the truth of all underlying data or the existence of a complete archive.

For UI01, the safe dossier entry is “A preserved Discovery UI card displays XChan (XCHAN), SOLANA, DEX Screener and the stated Observed timestamp.” Its recommendation claim is NOT SUPPORTED. The same reasoning applies to UI02; the provider label differs but the screenshot-only boundary does not.

OBSERVED is bounded to the specified saved artifact or explicitly fictional fixture. INFERRED claims name their inputs and assumptions. BOUNDED HISTORICAL UI ARTIFACT: only visible candidate text, chain, source label, displayed Observed and UI context. No raw provider archive or complete historical feed export.

UNKNOWN fields remain absent. INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE does not prove the opposite. No unsupported human attribution, guaranteed safety/profit, financial recommendation or executable transaction follows.

Promoting UI or aggregate fields into raw provider records; substituting dates across sources; inventing hidden identity or links; treating a timestamp or commercial badge as proof.

Transcribe the five accepted visible categories for both examples. Write a separate UNKNOWN register and classify the sentence “Discovery recommended these two assets because the provider proved their quality.” Keep the JPEG hash and do not follow or guess any hidden link.

Two screenshot-linked observation cards and a separate missing-provenance lane. Label the time axis Displayed Observed, never provider time. Put a visible BOUNDED HISTORICAL UI ARTIFACT caption and a NOT SUPPORTED recommendation box; do not draw unseen links or IDs.

SPECIFICATION_ONLY — final visual production is not part of this content run.

• Name the exact artifact and identity boundary.
• Preserve source/time/dataStatus for each claim.
• Keep OBSERVED, INFERRED, UNKNOWN and INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE distinct.
• Preserve limitations without private data or current substitutes.

• Artifact integrity is distinct from factual completeness.
• Origin and timestamp precision survive reuse.
• A bounded conclusion must survive its unknowns.

Offline evidence-reading exercise only. No provider refresh, private account access, real-money exercise, wallet signing, entitlement change or runtime output generation.

• UI: Accepted bounded historical Discovery UI artifact — BOUNDED HISTORICAL UI ARTIFACT: only visible candidate text, chain, source label, displayed Observed and UI context. No raw provider archive or complete historical feed export.

HISTORICAL — BOUNDED HISTORICAL UI ARTIFACT: only visible candidate text, chain, source label, displayed Observed and UI context. No raw provider archive or complete historical feed export.
