Overview

Section titled “Overview”

The health line is one line for the whole bundle, which knowledge-report.sh computes so that it is not a model’s arithmetic. It counts the concepts under eight trust labels: confirmed by a person, checked by automation only, nobody has checked, drafts, reopened, past review date, edited since confirmed, and retired. A retired concept is counted once, there. Since 0.45.0 Drafts counts the concepts no person has confirmed, and Reopened those a person confirmed and a question since put back to status: draft. A reopened concept still counts as confirmed, because a question flags a concept and never drops it a rung.

The curator’s report opens with the line, and adds one field the script does not compute, Not tied to a signed commit, for example:

Confirmed by a person: 3 of 40 · Checked by automation only: 12 · Nobody has checked: 23 · Drafts: 4 · Reopened: 2 · Past review date: 2 · Edited since confirmed: 1 · Retired: 2 · Not tied to a signed commit: 1

It is the one number to watch over time: “confirmed by a person: a of N” rising is the bundle earning trust. It is derived every time and never stored, since the specification keeps scores out of frontmatter. The architecture page says the number is meant to rise slowly, a handful of concepts in a sitting.
