Labyricorn e02d49a739 feat(phase0): complete GC1 feasibility and GC2 shared format contracts
- Record user evidence for directory fallback to complete GC1 (10/10 checks passed)

- Expand Format Specification 0.1 to Revision 0.2 with normative shared contracts

- Author JSON Schema Draft-07 at schema/xzbt-0.1.schema.json

- Implement zero-dependency semantic validator at tools/validate-exhibit.mjs

- Create 12-case conformance fixture suite and automated test runner (12/12 passing)

- Update implementation status, verification gates, and gap closure decisions

- Add devlog entry covering stall recovery and Phase 0 current state

Phase 0 directory fallback observation

Result: Passed for directory import fallback: cancellation and denial error handled gracefully without crashing or losing session state.
Evidence: User-supplied JSON
Page started: 2026-09-05T18:04:08.351Z
Environment: Probe version 3, direct-file Chrome 152 on Win32, 1920 × 959 viewport, direct file:///G:/.vibe/XZBT/prototypes/phase0/XZBT-phase0-probe.html launch.

Procedure and Observation

  1. The probe was loaded directly from disk in regular desktop Chrome.
  2. Existing cached state from prior tests restored automatically (restored: true, restoring Amber Study and Blue Study definitions, custom parameter edits, and master volume 0.19).
  3. The user invoked the "Import directory" action (window.showDirectoryPicker).
  4. The user cancelled the directory picker prompt.
  5. Chromium rejected the promise with an AbortError:
    Failed to execute 'showDirectoryPicker' on 'Window': The user aborted a request.
    
  6. The probe caught the rejection cleanly via try ... catch:
    • It recorded directoryImport: "cancelled".
    • It logged the AbortError under errors array.
    • It presented a non-fatal polite status message to the user interface.
    • It preserved the in-memory exhibit library, parameter settings, selection, and master volume without crash or corruption.

Gate Conclusion

This observation satisfies the final outstanding requirement of GC1: Direct-file feasibility:

"Test directory import/remembered handles where available and ordinary-picker fallback where unavailable or permission is denied."

All 10 checks of GC1 are now verified with linked empirical evidence. GC1 is marked Passed.

Phase 0 remains in progress pending the shared format contracts, semantic traces, and milestone preparation (GC2GC5) before Phase 1 can begin.
