8
+
9
+ Initial release.
10
+
11
+ ### Added
12
+ - **Schema v1** ([SPEC.md](SPEC.md)): two-tier document format separating measured
13
+ fields from an optional confidence-tagged inferred tier, with coverage gaps,
14
+ blind spots, and evidence pointers as first-class elements.
15
+ - **Deterministic compiler**: dwell-capped sessionization (per capture device,
16
+ so multi-monitor streams never fragment each other), session-gap detection,
17
+ flicker merging with interruption records, and single-assignment input
18
+ accounting across overlapping monitor segments.
19
+ - **Enrichment library API** (`activity_frames.enrich`): nearest-frame app
20
+ attribution, coordinate-based click resolution against the recorded element
21
+ tree (with neighbor-frame rescue), and optional keyboard-layout decoding.
22
+ - **Entity typing**: deterministic URL parsers for LinkedIn, GitHub, Google
23
+ (Search/Docs/Gmail/Maps/Meet/Calendar), YouTube, X, Instagram, Reddit, Luma,
24
+ Partiful, Product Hunt, Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, Discord, Notion, Figma,
25
+ Stack Overflow, Calendly, and AI-chat sites, plus a subdomain/path heuristic
26
+ layer (sign-in, dashboard, email, calendar, meeting) and a total generic
27
+ fallback.
28
+ - **Built-in capture**: `aframes record` provisions and runs a pinned,
29
+ MIT-licensed screenpipe build, sha512-verified before first run (audio off
30
+ by default; `--status` checks that frames are actually flowing and points
31
+ at macOS permissions when they are not).
32
+ - **MCP server**: zero-dependency stdio JSON-RPC server exposing `get_context`,
33
+ `get_activity`, `get_day_summary`, and `get_patterns`.
34
+ - **CLI** (`aframes`): `record`, `today`, `day`, `context`, `apps`, `patterns`,
35
+ `mcp`, with JSON / YAML / Markdown / context-block output.
36
+ - **Python API** (`ActivityLog`) and workflow-pattern detection.
37
+ - Test suite (58 tests) and CI on macOS and Linux (Python 3.9, 3.11, 3.13).

1
+ # Contributing
2
+
3
+ Thanks for helping build a shared, honest representation of computer activity for agents.
4
+
5
+ ## The easiest, highest-value contribution: a site parser
6
+
7
+ 44% of a real browser history is niche sites. Every site parser you add makes activity frames sharper for everyone. A parser is a pure function of the URL - no network, no state, reviewable in one sitting.
8
+
9
+ 1. Open `src/activity_frames/entities.py`.
10
+ 2. Add a function that takes `(domain, parts, q)` and returns a `PageRef` (or `None` to fall through). `parts` is the path split on `/`; `q` is the parsed query dict.
11
+ 3. Register it in `_SITE_PARSERS` by host.
12
+ 4. Add a test in `tests/test_entities.py`.
13
+
14
+ ```python
15
+ def _hackernews(domain, parts, q):
16
+ if parts and parts[0] == "item":
17
+ return PageRef(kind="post", domain=domain, entity=q.get("id", [None])[0])
18
+ if parts and parts[0] == "user":
19
+ return PageRef(kind="profile", domain=domain, entity=q.get("id", [None])[0])
20
+ return None
21
+
22
+ # in _SITE_PARSERS:
23
+ "news.ycombinator.com": _hackernews,
24
+ ```
25
+
26
+ ### Rules for parsers
27
+
28
+ - **Deterministic.** Output must be a pure function of the URL. No clocks, no randomness, no fetching.
29
+ - **Total.** Return `None` for paths you do not handle so the fallback layers can type them; never raise.
30
+ - **Honest kinds.** A `kind` describes what a page *is* (`profile`, `repo`, `event`), never what the user was *doing* there (`prospecting`, `researching`). Intent is the agent's job, not the parser's. See [SPEC.md](SPEC.md) section 7.
31
+ - **No content.** Parse the URL only. Do not pull identifiers from page bodies.
32
+
33
+ ## Other contributions
34
+
35
+ - **Capture sources.** The compiler is engine-agnostic. A new source needs an adapter that presents `frames`, `ui_events`, and `elements` tables (see `db.py` and [SPEC.md](SPEC.md) section 9).
36
+ - **Bug fixes and robustness.** Edge cases in timezones, multi-monitor coordinates, and malformed capture data are always welcome.
37
+
38
+ ## Development
39
+
40
+ ```bash
41
+ git clone https://github.com/nossa-y/activity-frames
42
+ cd activity-frames
43
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
44
+ pytest -q
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ Everything is standard-library Python (PyYAML is the only optional extra). Keep it that way where you can: zero required dependencies is a feature.
48
+
49
+ ## Ground rules
50
+
51
+ - Determinism is the core promise. A change that makes output depend on wall-clock time, network, or a model will be declined.
52
+ - Keep the measured tier measured. New fields must be derivable by code; anything inferred belongs in the tier-2 extension with a confidence tag.
53
+ - Add a test with every behavior change.

+
40
+ **Episodic memory for AI agents.**
41
+
42
+ Your agent can read your code, search the web, and call APIs - but it has no idea what you have been doing for the last 8 hours. It starts every conversation blind.
43
+
44
+ activity-frames gives your agent eyes. It records your screen locally, compiles what it sees into structured **activity frames** (bounded episodes of what you actually did), and serves them to any agent over MCP. No cloud, no LLM in the pipeline, no guessing.
45
+
46
+ ```bash
47
+ pip install activity-frames
48
+ aframes record # start capturing (local, audio off by default)
49
+ aframes context # your last 2 hours, agent-ready
50
+ ```
51
+
52
+ ## What your agent sees
53
+
54
+ Capture stores instants: thousands of snapshot rows a day, each one saying "at 22:53:05, Chrome showed linkedin.com/in/...". Useless to reason over.
55
+
56
+ activity-frames compiles those instants into episodes:
57
+
58
+ ```yaml
59
+ - id: f-0007
60
+ app: Google Chrome
61
+ site: linkedin.com
62
+ start: "20:24:04"
63
+ end: "20:42:11"
64
+ duration_min: 18.0
65
+ pages:
66
+ - {kind: people_search, entity: "cto paris", count: 2}
67
+ - {kind: profile, entity: najmuzzaman}
68
+ - {kind: company, entity: nexdotai}
69
+ input: {keys: 214, clicks: 31}
70
+ evidence: {frame_ids: "99871..100147"}
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ And into a compact context block for any system prompt:
74
+
75
+ ```
76
+ USER ACTIVITY (2026-07-04, local time; measured from screen capture, no interpretation):
77
+ coverage: 09:12-18:47, 342 active min, 11 apps
78
+ away: 12:30-13:15 (45m)
79
+ - 09:12-09:58 Cursor (46.2m): main.py - api
80
+ - 10:01-10:44 Google Chrome/github.com (41.3m): pull_request:acme/api#412; code:acme/api
81
+ - 20:24-20:42 Google Chrome/linkedin.com (18.0m): people_search:cto paris x2; profile:najmuzzaman; company:nexdotai
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ Drop that into a prompt and your agent knows your day. A full day compiles in under a second and costs zero tokens.
85
+
86
+ ## Episodic memory, done honestly
87
+
88
+ Agent memory today means conversation memory: what you told the model. Episodic memory is what you actually *did* - and the hard part is representing it without lying.
89
+
90
+ activity-frames enforces a two-tier contract ([SPEC.md](SPEC.md)):
91
+
92
+ - **Tier 1, measured (this package):** everything is derivable by deterministic code from capture data. Sessions, durations, typed page entities, input volume, coverage gaps. Same input, same output, every time. There are no intent labels - code cannot know that 2 profile views + a people search was "prospecting". That is your agent's job; it is an LLM.
93
+ - **Tier 2, inferred (optional extension):** tools that add interpretation must namespace it, tag confidence (`high | medium | speculative`), and link evidence. Facts and guesses can never silently mix.
94
+
95
+ Every frame carries evidence pointers back to raw capture rows. Every document declares its blind spots. What the system did not see, it says it did not see.
96
+
97
+ ## Use it from an agent (MCP)
98
+
99
+ ```bash
100
+ # Claude Code
101
+ claude mcp add activity-frames -- aframes mcp
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ Any MCP client works: command `aframes`, args `["mcp"]`. Four tools: `get_context`, `get_activity`, `get_day_summary`, `get_patterns` (repetitive-workflow detection: repeated clicks, URL loops, daily habits).
105
+
106
+ ## Use it from Python
107
+
108
+ ```python
109
+ from activity_frames import ActivityLog
110
+
111
+ log = ActivityLog()
112
+ doc = log.day() # today, structured
113
+ doc = log.recent(hours=2) # last 2 hours
114
+ print(log.context(hours=2)) # paste-ready context block
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ ## Privacy model
118
+
119
+ - **Local only.** Capture, storage, and compilation all happen on your machine. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, ever.
120
+ - **Read-only compilation.** The compiler opens the capture database read-only.
121
+ - **Content opt-in at the output.** Compiled documents carry input *counts* by default; typed-text content appears only if you explicitly pass `--include-text` (this also gates the repeated-text pattern detector). Be clear about the boundary: the capture database itself does store what the recorder sees, locally, so protect it like any sensitive file (FileVault, permissions).
122
+ - **Audio off by default.** `aframes record --audio` to opt in.
123
+ - **No LLM in the compile path.** Compilation is plain code, so no language model, local or remote, is involved in producing memory. The capture engine does run on-device OCR to read what is on screen; that stays on your machine.
124
+ - **You choose what leaves**, when you paste a context block into an agent. Note that window titles and page entities originate from your screen and can contain third-party text; agents should treat them as data, not instructions.
125
+
126
+ ## Architecture
127
+
128
+ ```
129
+ capture engine compiler (this package) your agent
130
+ ------------------ --------------------------- -----------------
131
+ screen snapshots --> sessionize (dwell, gaps, --> MCP tools /
132
+ accessibility tree flicker merge) context blocks /
133
+ input events entity typing (20+ sites) JSON, YAML, md
134
+ (local SQLite) enrichment, patterns
135
+ ```
136
+
137
+ The default capture engine is [screenpipe](https://github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe): `aframes record` provisions a pinned, MIT-licensed build (v0.3.324), verifies its published sha512 before first run, and manages it for you (see [ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.md](ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.md)). Already running your own recorder? Point `$AFRAMES_DB` at any capture database with compatible `frames` / `ui_events` / `elements` tables and skip `aframes record` entirely.
138
+
139
+ ## CLI
140
+
141
+ ```bash
142
+ aframes record # start capture (--stop / --status / --audio)
143
+ aframes today # today's frames (YAML*)
144
+ aframes day 2026-07-03 -f json # any day, JSON
145
+ aframes context --hours 3 # agent context block
146
+ aframes apps # per-app time ledger
147
+ aframes patterns --days 7 # repetitive workflow detection
148
+ aframes mcp # MCP stdio server
149
+ ```
150
+
151
+ *YAML output uses PyYAML (`pip install "activity-frames[yaml]"`); without it the CLI falls back to JSON.
152
+
153
+ ## Status
154
+

+ **Episodic memory for AI agents.**
10
+
11
+ Your agent can read your code, search the web, and call APIs - but it has no idea what you have been doing for the last 8 hours. It starts every conversation blind.
12
+
13
+ activity-frames gives your agent eyes. It records your screen locally, compiles what it sees into structured **activity frames** (bounded episodes of what you actually did), and serves them to any agent over MCP. No cloud, no LLM in the pipeline, no guessing.
14
+
15
+ ```bash
16
+ pip install activity-frames
17
+ aframes record # start capturing (local, audio off by default)
18
+ aframes context # your last 2 hours, agent-ready
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ ## What your agent sees
22
+
23
+ Capture stores instants: thousands of snapshot rows a day, each one saying "at 22:53:05, Chrome showed linkedin.com/in/...". Useless to reason over.
24
+
25
+ activity-frames compiles those instants into episodes:
26
+
27
+ ```yaml
28
+ - id: f-0007
29
+ app: Google Chrome
30
+ site: linkedin.com
31
+ start: "20:24:04"
32
+ end: "20:42:11"
33
+ duration_min: 18.0
34
+ pages:
35
+ - {kind: people_search, entity: "cto paris", count: 2}
36
+ - {kind: profile, entity: najmuzzaman}
37
+ - {kind: company, entity: nexdotai}
38
+ input: {keys: 214, clicks: 31}
39
+ evidence: {frame_ids: "99871..100147"}
40
+ ```
41
+
42
+ And into a compact context block for any system prompt:
43
+
44
+ ```
45
+ USER ACTIVITY (2026-07-04, local time; measured from screen capture, no interpretation):
46
+ coverage: 09:12-18:47, 342 active min, 11 apps
47
+ away: 12:30-13:15 (45m)
48
+ - 09:12-09:58 Cursor (46.2m): main.py - api
49
+ - 10:01-10:44 Google Chrome/github.com (41.3m): pull_request:acme/api#412; code:acme/api
50
+ - 20:24-20:42 Google Chrome/linkedin.com (18.0m): people_search:cto paris x2; profile:najmuzzaman; company:nexdotai
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ Drop that into a prompt and your agent knows your day. A full day compiles in under a second and costs zero tokens.
54
+
55
+ ## Episodic memory, done honestly
56
+
57
+ Agent memory today means conversation memory: what you told the model. Episodic memory is what you actually *did* - and the hard part is representing it without lying.
58
+
59
+ activity-frames enforces a two-tier contract ([SPEC.md](SPEC.md)):
60
+
61
+ - **Tier 1, measured (this package):** everything is derivable by deterministic code from capture data. Sessions, durations, typed page entities, input volume, coverage gaps. Same input, same output, every time. There are no intent labels - code cannot know that 2 profile views + a people search was "prospecting". That is your agent's job; it is an LLM.
62
+ - **Tier 2, inferred (optional extension):** tools that add interpretation must namespace it, tag confidence (`high | medium | speculative`), and link evidence. Facts and guesses can never silently mix.
63
+
64
+ Every frame carries evidence pointers back to raw capture rows. Every document declares its blind spots. What the system did not see, it says it did not see.
65
+
66
+ ## Use it from an agent (MCP)
67
+
68
+ ```bash
69
+ # Claude Code
70
+ claude mcp add activity-frames -- aframes mcp
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ Any MCP client works: command `aframes`, args `["mcp"]`. Four tools: `get_context`, `get_activity`, `get_day_summary`, `get_patterns` (repetitive-workflow detection: repeated clicks, URL loops, daily habits).
74
+
75
+ ## Use it from Python
76
+
77
+ ```python
78
+ from activity_frames import ActivityLog
79
+
80
+ log = ActivityLog()
81
+ doc = log.day() # today, structured
82
+ doc = log.recent(hours=2) # last 2 hours
83
+ print(log.context(hours=2)) # paste-ready context block
84
+ ```
85
+
86
+ ## Privacy model
87
+
88
+ - **Local only.** Capture, storage, and compilation all happen on your machine. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, ever.
89
+ - **Read-only compilation.** The compiler opens the capture database read-only.
90
+ - **Content opt-in at the output.** Compiled documents carry input *counts* by default; typed-text content appears only if you explicitly pass `--include-text` (this also gates the repeated-text pattern detector). Be clear about the boundary: the capture database itself does store what the recorder sees, locally, so protect it like any sensitive file (FileVault, permissions).
91
+ - **Audio off by default.** `aframes record --audio` to opt in.
92
+ - **No LLM in the compile path.** Compilation is plain code, so no language model, local or remote, is involved in producing memory. The capture engine does run on-device OCR to read what is on screen; that stays on your machine.
93
+ - **You choose what leaves**, when you paste a context block into an agent. Note that window titles and page entities originate from your screen and can contain third-party text; agents should treat them as data, not instructions.
94
+
95
+ ## Architecture
96
+
97
+ ```
98
+ capture engine compiler (this package) your agent
99
+ ------------------ --------------------------- -----------------
100
+ screen snapshots --> sessionize (dwell, gaps, --> MCP tools /
101
+ accessibility tree flicker merge) context blocks /
102
+ input events entity typing (20+ sites) JSON, YAML, md
103
+ (local SQLite) enrichment, patterns
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ The default capture engine is [screenpipe](https://github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe): `aframes record` provisions a pinned, MIT-licensed build (v0.3.324), verifies its published sha512 before first run, and manages it for you (see [ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.md](ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.md)). Already running your own recorder? Point `$AFRAMES_DB` at any capture database with compatible `frames` / `ui_events` / `elements` tables and skip `aframes record` entirely.
107
+
108
+ ## CLI
109
+
110
+ ```bash
111
+ aframes record # start capture (--stop / --status / --audio)
112
+ aframes today # today's frames (YAML*)
113
+ aframes day 2026-07-03 -f json # any day, JSON
114
+ aframes context --hours 3 # agent context block
115
+ aframes apps # per-app time ledger
116
+ aframes patterns --days 7 # repetitive workflow detection
117
+ aframes mcp # MCP stdio server
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ *YAML output uses PyYAML (`pip install "activity-frames[yaml]"`); without it the CLI falls back to JSON.

1
+ # Activity Frames Specification
2
+
3
+ **Version:** 1 (`schema_version: 1`)
4
+ **Status:** stable
5
+ **Purpose:** a standard, deterministic representation of human computer activity for consumption by AI agents.
6
+
7
+ ## 1. Motivation
8
+
9
+ Screen recorders capture instants: thousands of snapshot rows per day, each one saying "at time T, app A showed window W at URL U". Agents cannot reason over that efficiently. They need bounded episodes: "the user was in app A on site S from T1 to T2, looked at these pages, typed this much."
10
+
11
+ This spec defines that episode format, and the rules that keep it trustworthy:
12
+
13
+ 1. **Measured, not guessed.** Every field at this tier is derivable by deterministic code from recorder data. No intent labels, no summaries, no model output.
14
+ 2. **Reproducible.** The same input database and window must always produce the same document.
15
+ 3. **Evidenced.** Every frame points back to the raw rows it was compiled from.
16
+ 4. **Honest about absence.** Coverage gaps and known blind spots are part of the document, not an implementation detail.
17
+
18
+ ## 2. Document structure
19
+
20
+ A document is a single JSON/YAML object:
21
+
22
+ ```yaml
23
+ schema_version: 1
24
+ generated_at: "2026-07-04T21:14:03Z" # UTC, ISO-8601
25
+ source:
26
+ recorder: screenpipe # schema family of the capture DB
27
+ window:
28
+ start_utc: "2026-07-04T07:00:00"
29
+ end_utc: "2026-07-05T07:00:00"
30
+ day: "2026-07-04" # present when the window is a local day
31
+ coverage: { ... } # section 3
32
+ frames: [ ... ] # section 4
33
+ blind_spots: [ ... ] # section 6
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ All times inside `coverage` and `frames` are **local** wall-clock times (`HH:MM` or `HH:MM:SS`), because they describe a human's day. The `window` is UTC, because it describes a database query.
37
+
38
+ ## 3. Coverage
39
+
40
+ What the recorder actually saw. Consumers must treat anything outside covered time as unknown, not as inactivity.
41
+
42
+ ```yaml
43
+ coverage:
44
+ first_activity: "09:12"
45
+ last_activity: "18:47"
46
+ active_minutes: 342 # distinct minutes with at least one frame
47
+ span_minutes: 575 # last - first
48
+ coverage_pct: 59 # active / span, capped at 100
49
+ frames_analyzed: 4211 # raw snapshot count in the window
50
+ distinct_apps: 11
51
+ gaps: # periods >= 5 min with no capture
52
+ - {start: "12:30", end: "13:15", minutes: 45}
53
+ ```
54
+
55
+ ## 4. Frames
56
+
57
+ A frame is one bounded stretch of attention in a single context. The context key is `(app, site)`: the site is the URL host for browser activity, absent otherwise.
58
+
59
+ ```yaml
60
+ - id: f-0007 # stable within the document
61
+ app: "Google Chrome"
62
+ site: "linkedin.com" # omitted for non-browser apps
63
+ start: "20:24:04" # local
64
+ end: "20:42:11"
65
+ duration_min: 18.0 # ACTIVE minutes (dwell-based, see 5.1)
66
+ wall_min: 21.5 # end - start; emitted when it differs by > 1 min
67
+ windows: # up to 3 most-seen window titles
68
+ - "Search | LinkedIn"
69
+ pages: # typed page references, browser frames only
70
+ - {kind: people_search, entity: "cto paris", count: 2}
71
+ - {kind: profile, entity: "najmuzzaman"}
72
+ - {kind: company, entity: "nexdotai"}
73
+ input: # omitted when empty
74
+ keys: 214 # keystrokes + typed characters
75
+ clicks: 31
76
+ copies: 2
77
+ interruptions: # brief context switches folded in (see 5.3)
78
+ - {app: "Slack", seconds: 12} # site key present for browser flickers
79
+ evidence:
80
+ frame_ids: "99871..100147" # raw row id range in the source DB
81
+ ```
82
+
83
+ ### 4.1 Page references
84
+
85
+ A page reference types a URL into something an agent can read: `kind` (what sort of page), optional `entity` (the human-relevant identifier), optional `count` (views within the frame, emitted when > 1).
86
+
87
+ Standard kinds include: `profile`, `company`, `feed`, `messaging`, `people_search`, `search`, `repo`, `pull_request`, `issue`, `code`, `doc`, `sheet`, `email`, `video`, `channel`, `post`, `question`, `booking`, `design`, `ai_chat`, `local_dev`, `notifications`, and the fallback `page`. Kinds are open: producers may add site-specific kinds, but must keep them deterministic functions of the URL.
88
+
89
+ ### 4.2 Input privacy rule
90
+
91
+ Input **volume** (counts) is part of the standard document. Input **content** (typed text) must be excluded by default and only included on an explicit opt-in from the operator of the producing tool.
92
+
93
+ ## 5. Determinism rules
94
+
95
+ Implementations must produce identical documents for identical inputs. The reference constants:
96
+
97
+ ### 5.1 Dwell
98
+ Capture is event-driven: a frame is stored when the screen changes. A frame contributes `min(gap_to_next_frame, 90s)` of active time. The cap prevents a static screen (or an absent user) from earning unbounded credit. `duration_min` is the sum of dwells inside the frame.
99
+
100
+ ### 5.2 Session gap
101
+ A gap larger than `300s` between consecutive raw frames closes the current activity frame and is a candidate coverage gap (reported when >= 5 min).
102
+
103
+ ### 5.3 Flicker merge
104
+ The sequence A -> B -> A, where B lasts at most `20s` of wall time and no session gap intervenes on either side of B, collapses into a single A frame. B is recorded in `interruptions` with its measured seconds. B's time is **not** added to A's `duration_min`. Nothing is silently dropped.
105
+
106
+ ### 5.4 Minimum duration
107
+ Producers may offer a `min_minutes` filter for consumer convenience. Filtered-out frames are omitted with the count disclosed in the document (`omitted: {below_min_minutes: N, min_minutes: X}`); they must never be silently merged into neighbors.
108
+
109
+
110
+ ### 5.5 Capture devices
111
+
112
+ Each monitor records its own frame stream (`device_name`). Segmentation runs per device, so simultaneous monitors do not fragment each other's frames; the document lists all devices' frames sorted by start time, which means frames MAY overlap in time. Input events are assigned to exactly one containing segment (ties across devices resolved by the nearest captured frame), so input volume is never double-counted. A consequence to disclose: the same app visible on two monitors at once earns active time on both.
113
+
114
+ ## 6. Blind spots
115
+
116
+ Every document carries a `blind_spots` list: plain-language statements of what the capture pipeline systematically cannot see (e.g. "browser URLs are only captured for browser apps"). Producers must not remove entries to make output look more complete.
117
+
118
+ ## 7. Tier 2: inferred fields (extension, not part of this package)
119
+
120
+ Tools MAY extend documents with interpretation: task labels, project clusters, meeting summaries. Such fields are **inference**, and the spec requires them to be:
121
+
122
+ - namespaced under `inferred` (at document or frame level),
123
+ - tagged with `confidence: high | medium | speculative`,
124
+ - tagged with `evidence`: which measured fields or raw rows support the inference.
125
+
126
+ ```yaml
127
+ inferred:
128
+ - label: "LinkedIn prospecting"
129
+ frames: [f-0007, f-0009]
130
+ confidence: medium
131
+ evidence: "people_search + 2 profile views + 1 company page in 18 min"
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ A consumer must always be able to strip everything under `inferred` and be left with a purely measured document. This package emits tier 1 only.
135
+
136
+ ## 8. Versioning
137
+
138
+ `schema_version` increments only on breaking changes to tier-1 field semantics. Additive fields do not bump the version. Consumers should ignore unknown fields.
139
+
140
+ ## 9. Sources
141
+
142
+ The reference producer reads the local SQLite database written by the built-in capture engine (screenpipe, provisioned by `aframes record`). Required surface: a `frames` table (`id`, `timestamp` UTC ISO, `app_name`, `window_name`, `browser_url`, `focused`; `device_name` optional, treated as one stream when absent), and optionally `ui_events` (input volume) and `elements` (click resolution) - the compiler degrades gracefully when the optional tables are missing. Any capture system can be supported by a producer that satisfies sections 2 through 6; `source.recorder` identifies the schema family.
