### Static check

**Command 3**
`pnpm --dir clients/web --filter @corvus/dashboard run check`

- Exit: 0
- Result: `biome check` passed (`Checked 93 files in 39ms. No fixes applied.`)

### Build / type-check

No build command was executed because the verification request explicitly said **do not build**. The dashboard `check` command was run as the smallest relevant static verification.

## Spec Compliance Matrix

| Requirement | Scenario | Test evidence | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local Memory Visualization Entry Point | Operator opens the local memory visualization | `src/App.spec.ts` → `switches to the local explorer from browse drill-ins and preserves local filters` | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| Local Memory Visualization Entry Point | Local visualization remains clearly separate from Cerebro | `src/App.spec.ts` → `keeps the local explorer visibly separate from Cerebro memory mode`; `src/components/memory/MemoryStats.spec.ts` → `renders local and remote stats separately` | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| Timeline Grouping and Ordering | Timeline renders entries grouped by session | `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.spec.ts` → `builds chronological timeline groups including the no-session fallback lane`; `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryTimeline.spec.ts` → `renders session lanes in chronological order with a navigable no-session fallback` | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| Timeline Grouping and Ordering | Timeline handles entries without a session | Same tests above verify `No Session` grouping and no invented session assignment | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| Category Distribution Interaction | Category selection focuses the visualization | `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.spec.ts` → `supports category focus...`; `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryCategoryChart.spec.ts` → `renders category totals and emits category selection` | ⚠️ PARTIAL |
| Category Distribution Interaction | Category focus can be cleared | `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.spec.ts` → `supports category focus, clear focus...`; `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryCategoryChart.spec.ts` → `offers a clear-focus action when a category is active` | ⚠️ PARTIAL |
| Inferred Relationship Explorer | Operator navigates inferred local relationships | `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.spec.ts` → `supports category focus... session-category intersections without Cerebro data`; `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryRelationshipExplorer.spec.ts` → `renders inferred relationship clusters and visible entries` | ⚠️ PARTIAL |
| Inferred Relationship Explorer | Relationship explorer avoids semantic overclaiming | `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryRelationshipExplorer.spec.ts` asserts derived-local labeling; panel/component copy keeps local/Cerebro wording separate | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| Empty and Large Dataset Fallbacks | Empty local dataset | `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryExplorerPanel.spec.ts` → `renders an empty local-only state when no memory entries are available` | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| Empty and Large Dataset Fallbacks | Large local dataset uses bounded visualization behavior | `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.spec.ts` → `marks the explorer as truncated when the dashboard-side cap is reached`; `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryExplorerPanel.spec.ts` → `surfaces a truncation notice...` | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| Local Visualization Data Boundary | Existing local admin responses are sufficient for v1 visualization | `src/composables/useAdmin.spec.ts` covers `listMemoryEntries()` and `fetchMemoryStats()` return behavior; `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.spec.ts` derives groups/facets/clusters from those responses | ✅ COMPLIANT |
| Local Visualization Data Boundary | Local visualization does not depend on Cerebro semantics | `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.spec.ts` explicitly verifies operation `without Cerebro data`; `src/App.spec.ts` verifies local explorer remains separate from Cerebro mode | ✅ COMPLIANT |

**Compliance summary**: 9/12 scenarios compliant, 3/12 partial, 0 failing, 0 untested.

## Correctness (Static Evidence)

| Requirement | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Local-vs-Cerebro separation | ✅ Implemented | `src/App.vue:487-555` keeps `local` and `cerebro` tabs separate; `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryExplorerPanel.vue:56-60` and `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryRelationshipExplorer.vue:39` label the explorer as local/inferred; `src/components/memory/CerebroTimelinePanel.vue:37` keeps remote labeling explicit. |
| Timeline chronology and grouping | ✅ Implemented | `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.ts:48-57, 88-134` sorts entries chronologically and groups by `session_id`; `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryTimeline.vue:38-63` renders session lanes and a navigable no-session group. |
| Category interaction | ✅ Implemented | `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryCategoryChart.vue:22-44` exposes select/clear actions; `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.ts:136-160, 266-283` derives facets and applies/clears category selection. |
| Inferred relationship navigation | ✅ Implemented | `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.ts:162-196, 274-280` derives session/category clusters and selection; `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryRelationshipExplorer.vue:23-60` renders cluster navigation and related entries. |
| Empty/truncated states | ✅ Implemented | `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryExplorerPanel.vue:62-71` handles loading/error/empty/truncation states; `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.ts:15-17, 223-243` enforces 200/page and 600-entry cap. |
| Local-only data boundary | ✅ Implemented | `src/components/memory/LocalMemoryExplorerPanel.vue:25-29` wires explorer only to `listMemoryEntries` and `fetchMemoryStats`; `src/composables/useAdmin.ts:311-345` uses `/web/admin/memory` and `/web/admin/memory/stats` without new graph endpoints. |

## Coherence (Design Match)

| Decision | Followed? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Keep runtime contract unchanged for v1 | ✅ Yes | Only existing local memory endpoints are used. |
| Add a dashboard-local explorer subview under Local Memory | ✅ Yes | `src/App.vue:508-555` adds `browse` vs `explorer` under local mode. |
| Keep shaping logic outside presentational components | ✅ Yes | `src/composables/useLocalMemoryExplorer.ts` owns grouping, facets, clusters, truncation, and selection logic. |
| Use native HTML/CSS/SVG rendering for v1 | ✅ Yes | New components are plain Vue/HTML/CSS; no visualization dependency was added. |
| Explicitly cap explorer data volume in the dashboard | ✅ Yes | `MEMORY_EXPLORER_PAGE_SIZE = 200` and `MEMORY_EXPLORER_MAX_ENTRIES = 600` enforce bounded loading. |
| Relationship explorer as session/category/entry navigator | ⚠️ Slight deviation | Session/category navigation is distributed across the timeline + category chart, while `LocalMemoryRelationshipExplorer.vue` itself focuses on intersection clusters and visible entries. The overall UX still satisfies the v1 intent, but the component split differs slightly from the design wording. |

## Issues Found

### CRITICAL

None.

### WARNING

1. **Integrated category/relationship behavior is only partially proven by tests.** The code supports category focus and clear (`useLocalMemoryExplorer.ts:266-283`), but coverage is split across the composable and leaf components. There is no `LocalMemoryExplorerPanel.spec.ts` assertion that a real category click re-renders both the timeline and relationship explorer together.
2. **Real `MemoryList` explorer handoff is not directly tested.** `MemoryList.vue:157-163` emits `open-explorer`, but `MemoryList.spec.ts` does not assert that event on the real component. `App.spec.ts` covers the browse→explorer transition through a stubbed `MemoryList`, which is useful but indirect.
3. **Relationship navigation proof is panel-level partial, not end-to-end.** `LocalMemoryRelationshipExplorer.spec.ts` proves cluster selection emission, and `useLocalMemoryExplorer.spec.ts` proves derived intersections, but there is no integration test exercising a full session/category/cluster drill-in flow inside the mounted explorer panel.

### SUGGESTION

1. Add one integration test for `LocalMemoryExplorerPanel.vue` that clicks a real category bar, verifies timeline filtering, then clicks a relationship cluster and verifies the visible entry subset.
2. Add one `MemoryList.spec.ts` assertion for the real `open-explorer` emission payload.

## Verdict

**PASS WITH WARNINGS**

The implementation matches the spec/design intent and all requested relevant tests/checks passed, with solid evidence for local-vs-Cerebro separation, timeline grouping, inferred local data shaping, and empty/truncated states. The remaining gaps are test-integration gaps and one minor design-shape deviation, not shipping blockers.
