## Summary

This dossier records validation observations after renaming the inner-loop coordination agent to Loom Driver across source files, adapter surfaces, docs, filenames, IDs, and Loom records.

## Observations

- Observation: Workspace filename search found no legacy predecessor-name paths outside VCS metadata.
  - Procedure/source: Ran file-pattern searches over the workspace and hidden Loom records after the rename.
  - Actual result: No workspace files were found with the predecessor slug in their path.

- Observation: Workspace content search found no legacy predecessor-name text outside VCS metadata.
  - Procedure/source: Ran a hidden-file content search over the workspace excluding `.git/` after the rename, including `.loom/` records.
  - Actual result: Command exited successfully with no output.

- Observation: Core smoke passed after the rename.
  - Procedure/source: Ran `npm --prefix loom-core run smoke` from `/Users/alexanderbutler/code_projects/personal/agent-loom`.
  - Actual result: Command exited successfully with `ok: true`, agent names `loom-driver` and `loom-weaver`, Driver prompt/TOML parity true, Driver direction-record boundary true, Driver task permission `allow`, and Driver edit permissions denying general writes while allowing execution-record paths.

- Observation: Core package dry-run check passed after the rename.
  - Procedure/source: Ran `npm --prefix loom-core run pack:check` from `/Users/alexanderbutler/code_projects/personal/agent-loom`.
  - Actual result: Command exited successfully. The dry-run tarball contents included `agents/loom-driver.md` and `codex/agents/loom-driver.toml`.

- Observation: Diff whitespace check passed after the rename.
  - Procedure/source: Ran `git diff --check` from `/Users/alexanderbutler/code_projects/personal/agent-loom`.
  - Actual result: Command exited successfully with no output.

- Observation: Claude Core plugin manifest validation passed after the rename.
  - Procedure/source: Ran `claude plugin validate "$PWD/loom-core"` from `/Users/alexanderbutler/code_projects/personal/agent-loom`.
  - Actual result: Command exited successfully and reported validation passed for `loom-core/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`.

## Artifacts

- Core smoke output - shows Driver agent registration, prompt/TOML parity, and OpenCode permission checks.
- Core package dry-run output - shows packaged Driver Markdown and TOML files.
- Diff whitespace check output - no output, indicating no whitespace errors in the diff.
- Claude plugin validation output - reports manifest validation passed.
- Workspace filename and content searches - show no predecessor-name occurrences outside VCS metadata.

## What This Shows

- `ticket:20260515-loom-driver-rename#ACC-001` - supports - workspace filenames and record IDs use the Driver slug/name consistently.
- `ticket:20260515-loom-driver-rename#ACC-002` - supports - source, docs, adapter surfaces, and Loom records contain no predecessor-name text occurrences outside VCS metadata.
- `ticket:20260515-loom-driver-rename#ACC-003` - supports - Core smoke and package checks pass with the Driver agent surface and packed files.
- `ticket:20260515-loom-driver-rename#ACC-004` - supports - Claude Core plugin validation passed after the manifest and agent filename rename.

## What This Does Not Show

This evidence does not prove live runtime invocation in OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini. It does not inspect or rewrite VCS metadata under `.git/`. It does not prove ticket closure because `ticket:20260515-loom-driver-rename#ACC-005` still requires a fresh Ralph-backed audit pass.
