Purpose
Before and after
| Layer | Legacy Chronicle | Current Computer History / Skysight |
|---|---|---|
| User-facing source | Chronicle research preview | Computer History |
| Permission emphasis | macOS Screen Recording | Accessibility plus observation controls |
| Primary evidence | Sampled screen-derived frames | Structured interaction and Accessibility events |
| Text extraction | OCR and contextual inference | Accessible text, focused elements, typed/selected text, URLs, AX tree/diffs |
| Rolling artifacts | Frame files, thumbnails, OCR sidecars, latest-frame state | Segment directories with events.jsonl and metadata.json |
| Durable written context | Chronicle/Codex Markdown summaries | Skysight short-window and longer-window Markdown memories |
| Visual derivative | Dense mosaic/contact sheet and selected-frame inspector | No passive visual mosaic from Computer History itself |
| Audio/video | No microphone audio; frame sequence was not a conventional movie | No passive audio, video, or screenshot output in the current Computer History contract |
| Separate adjacent systems | Explicit screenshot tools | Appshots, Computer Use screenshots, Record & Replay, and ChatGPT Record remain distinct |
Completeness rule
A report input bundle may reference either legacy or current evidence, but it must declare the exact source family and date coverage. An archive receipt proves storage health; it does not prove that a missing day contains source evidence.
Public derivative rule
