What you'll find here

The read-only craik operator receipt view over capability and plugin receipts, what it formats, the supported outcomes, and the inspection-only boundary.

Design rationale: ADR 0005 · Receipts and handoffs as public contracts.

What it formats​

Capability receipts

  • Receipt id · task · actor · capability · target · policy profile
  • Status · reason · redacted summary · redaction state

Plugin receipts

  • Receipt id · task · actor · plugin descriptor · action · trust boundary
  • Status · redacted summary · redaction state
  • Linked capability grants · evidence · handoffs

Outcomes​

passed

failed

denied

skipped

The view displays each status without expanding raw command output or unredacted plugin output.

Boundaries​

Inspection only.

The viewer does not approve grants, retry commands, rerun plugins, or mutate receipt records.

Commands​

craik operator receipt receipt_pytest
craik operator receipt plugin_receipt_docs --json

The command accepts a capability receipt id or plugin receipt id. The text view uses the operator formatter for terminal scanning. --json returns the persisted receipt payload for tooling and exact contract inspection.
