Archive Shell Proof

This page has one job:

help a public visitor understand what the archive shell proof is, without turning it into a hosted platform claim or a fake live runtime.

What This Proof Actually Shows

• transcript export can become a browsable HTML receipt
• publish archive-index can organize transcripts, reports shell, and integration evidence into one local-first archive shell
• the archive shell is workbench proof, meaning the repo can already organize transcript artifacts into a local reading-and-routing surface

What This Proof Does Not Show

• this is not a hosted product demo
• this is not a GitHub Pages live archive shell
• this is not a remote multi-user platform
• this does not automatically mean submit-ready, listed-live, or already approved

How To Reproduce It Locally

cargo run -- connectors
cargo run -- export codex \
  --thread-id <thread-id> \
  --format html \
  --destination workspace-conversations \
  --workspace-root /absolute/path/to/repo
cargo run -- publish archive-index --workspace-root /absolute/path/to/repo

After a successful local run, you should see:

• .agents/Conversations/*.html
• .agents/Conversations/index.html
• navigation paths from the transcript browser into reports shell and integration evidence

Proof Ladder

Level	It proves	Current public artifact
L1	the CLI can export a transcript through the front door path	README quickstart
L2	transcript export leaves a browsable HTML receipt	.agents/Conversations/*.html
L3	the archive shell organizes the local workbench into one navigable surface	archive-shell-proof.svg + proof-ladder.svg

Why This Matters

agent-exporter is no longer a tiny “export only” utility. But the first thing it should prove in public is still:

1. the CLI quickstart works
2. transcript export works
3. archive shell proof can be generated

That is the first trustworthy proof layer of the current flagship public packet.
