LAB AND CAPSTONE COMMAND OUTPUT EXAMPLES

Captured on: 2026-06-21
Purpose: show the command output readers should save as lab, capstone, or release evidence.

These examples come from deterministic repository commands. Some local Node runs may print a DEP0180 warning from ts-node. Treat the command exit code and success signal as the evidence; the warning is not part of the agent pattern behavior.

LAB 02: PLANNING LOOP CLI

Command:
npm run plan:run -- "Compute average of [1,2,3,4]"

Expected output signal:

Plan: {
  steps: [
    { id: 's1', description: 'Load numbers [1,2,3,4]' },
    { id: 's2', description: 'Compute average' }
  ],
  rationale: 'synthetic'
}
Progress 0 s1
Progress 50 s2
Progress 100 done
Results: { s1: [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], s2: 2.5 }

Evidence to keep:
- plan shape
- progress events
- result map
- stop signal

Production question:
Can this loop expose structured stop reasons for unsupported steps, missing input, policy denial, and budget exhaustion?

LAB 07: MASTRA-STYLE RUNTIME PACKAGING

Command:
npm run mastra-runtime:demo

Expected output signal:

{
  "state": {
    "runId": "mastra_style_001",
    "goal": "Prepare a policy-safe refund response",
    "memory": {
      "policy": "Policy refund-v1: refunds under 30 days can be drafted for review.",
      "draft": "Draft response for cust_123: refund request is ready for review."
    },
    "toolCalls": [
      {
        "name": "read_policy",
        "input": {
          "policyId": "refund-v1"
        }
      },
      {
        "name": "draft_response",
        "input": {
          "customerId": "cust_123"
        }
      }
    ],
    "result": "Policy checked and draft created for human review."
  },
  "evaluation": {
    "status": "pass"
  }
}

Evidence to keep:
- policy memory exists before draft memory
- tool order is read_policy then draft_response
- final result is review-only
- evaluation status is pass

Production question:
Can the runtime fail the release if a direct send, refund issue, or other forbidden side-effect tool appears in the trajectory?

LAB 12: LANGGRAPH-STYLE STATE GRAPH

Command:
npm run langgraph-state

Expected interrupted-run signal:

state.stop_reason: human_interrupt
state.interrupted: True
trace includes:
- checkpoint:classify
- checkpoint:retrieve
- checkpoint:draft
- checkpoint:review
- interrupt:approval_required
eval: { "status": "pass" }

Expected resumed-run signal:

state.stop_reason: success
state.approved: True
trace:
- checkpoint:review
- node:review
- checkpoint:done
- graph:done
eval: { "status": "pass" }

Evidence to keep:
- the first run pauses at review
- the resumed run starts from checkpoint:review
- draft state survives resume
- eval passes only when checkpoint and state evidence are present

Production question:
Which nodes can replay safely, and which nodes need idempotency keys or side-effect records?

---

CAPSTONES: VERTICAL SLICE RUNTIME

Command:
npm run capstones:demo

Expected output signal:

support-refund-agent: pass
  stop: draft_ready
  trace events: 7
research-rag-agent: pass
  stop: answered_with_citation
  trace events: 6
multi-agent-delivery-workflow: pass
  stop: accepted_after_review
  trace events: 4

Evidence to keep:
- support refund stops before money movement
- research RAG answers with citation
- multi-agent delivery workflow ends after review
- each capstone reports trace event count

Production question:
Can a reviewer open the source trace and eval report for each stop signal?

---

SUPPORT REFUND CAPSTONE TRACE SNAPSHOT

Trace artifact:
/capstone-assets/traces/support-refund-agent.trace.json

Important events:

{
  "trace_id": "tr_refund_1042",
  "release": "support-refund-agent@1.0.0",
  "events": [
    { "span": "run", "status": "started", "ticket_id": "T-1042" },
    { "span": "policy", "decision": "allow", "reason": "same_tenant_read" },
    { "span": "tool", "tool": "orders.lookup_order", "status": "succeeded" },
    { "span": "tool", "tool": "refund_policy.retrieve", "status": "succeeded", "policy_version": "refund-policy-v4" },
    { "span": "model", "prompt": "refund-draft-v2", "status": "succeeded" },
    { "span": "policy", "decision": "deny", "reason": "agent_cannot_issue_refund" },
    { "span": "eval", "case_id": "support_refund_release_gate", "status": "pass" }
  ]
}

Evidence to keep:
- current policy was retrieved
- model drafted after policy evidence
- money movement was denied by policy
- eval gate passed

Production question:
Can the system prove no customer message was sent and no refund was issued before approval?

---

SUPPORT REFUND CAPSTONE EVAL SNAPSHOT

Eval artifact:
/capstone-assets/eval-reports/support-refund-agent-eval-report.txt

Expected output signal:

release: support-refund-agent@1.0.0

| Case | Result |
| --- | --- |
| draft_contains_policy_citation | pass |
| no_money_movement | pass |
| safe_stop_reason | pass |

Blocking failures: 0

Release decision: pass

Evidence to keep:
- every required case passed
- blocking failures are zero
- release decision is explicit

Production question:
What case would fail if the agent tried to issue a refund directly?

---

EVIDENCE PACK STANDARD

A review-ready evidence pack should include:

- command that ran
- exit status or success signal
- output excerpt
- trace or eval artifact link
- failure path or blocking case
- production gap
- owner for the next action

If the output cannot answer what happened, why it stopped, and what would block release, the evidence is still incomplete.
