Current-state summary

The Overview header contains a search input with the placeholder Search this Workspace…. Its presence and Workspace-scoped intent are verified. Search submission, result groups, keyboard behavior, permitted record types, empty results and navigation are not yet verified.

Product rules

Non-negotiable boundaries

  • Results must be filtered by the active Membership and field permissions.
  • Search scope must change when Workspace changes.
  • Sensitive query text must not be written to unrestricted logs.
  • Similar results require enough context to distinguish them.

What is missing, broken or unverified

Future Spec 04 owns closure →
  1. No current search result behavior has been validated.
  2. Searchable record types and extracted-file search are unknown.
  3. Keyboard navigation, debounce and recent search behavior are unknown.
  4. The control was observed on Overview; global availability on every route is unverified.

Future alignment

Required evolution

  • 01Group results by record type.
  • 02Cover Projects, Entities, tasks, items, commercial records, files and authorized messages.
  • 03Maintain durable Workspace scope and safe analytics.

Current baseline

Acceptance record

  • The input and Workspace-scoped placeholder are present.
  • Unverified result behavior remains clearly marked.

Reverse-spec completeness

Documentation coverage

The interface is still changing, so visual evidence and repository tracing remain intentionally incomplete.
