Evidence Capsules Canonical Cutover

Purpose

• Keep Decision Capsules owned by the live Evidence shell instead of splitting them across canonical routes, stale legacy bookmarks, and context-specific dead ends.
• Finish the usable detail workflow, not just the references: detail, back-navigation, related-run handoff, and bookmark repair all need to work for operators.

Canonical Routes

• /evidence/capsules redirects to the Audit Trail all-events view; there is no separate capsule list.
• /evidence/capsules/:capsuleId is the canonical dual-store detail route. pack-* ids resolve through AdvisoryAI; decision-capsule ids receive an expected pack-store 404 and then resolve through EvidenceLocker.

Alias Policy

• Preserve /evidence-packs
• Preserve /evidence-packs/:capsuleId
• Redirect aliases into the canonical /evidence/capsules* subtree while preserving query params and fragments.

Shell Ownership

• Evidence remains the only operator-facing owner of Decision Capsule browsing.
• Capsule discovery is consolidated into the Audit Trail rather than a separate list surface.
• Capsule detail exposes a back action that prefers the originating context and falls back to the Audit Trail.

Cross-Shell Handoffs

• Ops > Operations > AI Runs opens canonical capsule detail routes with a deterministic returnTo contract.
• Capsule detail routes related AI-generated evidence back into /ops/operations/ai-runs/:runId.
• Capsule detail routes release evidence into /releases/runs/:runId/evidence.
• Related-run handoffs always preserve a valid return path back to the canonical capsule detail page.

Merge Notes From Dropped Surfaces

• The stale /evidence-packs* surface was not preserved as a second owner route.
• The useful behavior from the half-wired pack flow was merged into the canonical Evidence shell:
  • bookmark-safe alias repair
  • context-aware back navigation
  • live owner-route jumps for AI and release contexts

Verification

• Angular tests cover:
  • canonical capsule route ownership
  • legacy alias redirects
  • Audit Trail/detail navigation behavior
  • capsule viewer returnTo and related-run handoffs
• Playwright covers:
  • a live AI Runs entry point into capsule detail and back
  • a legacy /evidence-packs/:capsuleId bookmark that cuts over into the live release evidence workspace
