Projects and selected evidence

From a Library item, choose Open in Evidence / add to project, create or select a project, and explicitly add that exact retained version. Choose from Library adds other files; the import link returns through the same explicit file selection. Names never infer paper or version identity.

Evidence displays a bounded PDF page alongside canonical text, or literal TXT/MD in one logical page. Find searches only the current canonical page. Select a passage there and save it with an optional note; plain notes need no passage. Reopening checks the same version, page, extraction contract, text hash and Unicode codepoint range. A missing or changed source leaves the saved quote/body visible and unresolved. Body edits never move the saved anchor. Conflicts preserve unsaved text for an explicit refresh/retry.

PDF reading is limited to 16 MiB, 200 physical pages and 20 seconds per requested page; text extraction allows 200,000 codepoints. Encrypted, malformed, image-only, unsupported and over-limit pages are explicit. No OCR or full-text background processing. Equations, tables, columns and images may not survive text extraction; a rendered page is not a scientific accuracy or completeness claim. TXT/MD retain the Library 256 KiB/5,000-line bounds. The visual canvas is bounded to four million pixels/16 MiB, with reduced resolution when necessary. Parser limits and cleanup do not prove a portable hard memory or OS-confinement guarantee.

Remove a collection member without deleting its originals, managed bytes, paper provenance or notes. Re-add that exact identity to reconnect its saved records. Projects and notes survive existing resets and corpus erasure. Limits are 100 projects, 1,000 current members and 5,000 saved records per project; note bodies and selected passages are each at most 20,000 codepoints.

Export selected evidence creates a ZIP for 1–20 explicitly selected current members and all their saved notes in that project. Metadata-only is the default; optional retained-file mode rehashes selected bytes before offering a complete archive. Limits are 256 MiB of retained files and 4 MiB each for manifest and notes. Review names, notes and included originals before sharing. This is not an encrypted backup/restore format, an AI briefing or a claim of redistribution rights. Existing Library platform limitations remain; no new Windows support or assistant/MCP tool is introduced. See the Evidence contract.

Evidence also offers selected-evidence questions and manual structured briefings. Explicitly choose up to 5 files, 12 pages or 24 passages and, optionally, up to 8 individual saved note bodies. Inspect the exact content, coverage and requested connection/model/effort in the preview. Each Send creates one saved answer using the existing CLI or API connection with tools off and no earlier conversation. Source text is limited to 48 KiB and 24,000 Unicode codepoints; nothing is silently truncated. Citation checks establish exact selected-text identity; they do not establish semantic support, research quality or truth. Stop requests cancellation; remote completion, retention and billing can remain unknown. Saved answers and selected-text ZIPs remain available without the original files or a model call. Export HTML separately saves one readable offline document with frozen citations and return links, source excerpts, selected local notes, coverage and requested/reported settings. Open the downloaded file in a browser after closing resmon. It contains no scripts, remote assets, PDFs or current-original links; URLs in source text stay literal. Partial and unknown states stay explicit. The existing ZIP action and its three members are unchanged. See the portable briefing guide for navigation and limits. See the selected-answer contract.
