Operator Observability
Operator observability in Realith must remain a limited service surface.
Only what is necessary may be available to the operator for:
- intake and rejection of operations;
- routing;
- replication;
- diagnostics;
- publication of outcomes;
- issuance of service receipts.
This is not the same as a right to see all content.
What must not happen here
Operator observability must not automatically expand into:
- full indexing of hidden content;
- continuous analysis of plaintext where it ought to remain hidden;
- unrestricted access to a closed contour;
- general observability beyond the servicing function.
If service observability grows uncontrollably, it ceases to be a limited architectural surface.
Then:
- privacy remains only a word;
- the contour boundary weakens;
- the operator boundary ceases to be a real architectural boundary.
