HXR Documentation

Life does not have to stay harder than it needs to be. This index reads from HXR's publication-only documentation layer. Canonical documents live in Notion; Shopify receives the records approved for the public storefront.

This index includes all HXR documents currently approved for public projection. Internal and private documentation remains in the canonical Notion system and is not exported to the storefront.

UXR Canonical Data and Public Projection Architecture

Defines Notion as canonical and Shopify as the derived public, storefront, discovery, and SEO layer for documentation, Incidents, Evaluations, Sources, Evidence Items, evidence relationships, datasets, reforms, and approved community-return history.

Incident Cases, Evaluations, and the UXR Evidence Graph

Active architecture separating Sources, Source Snapshots, atomic Evidence Items, proposition-source resolution, evidence-specific Contribution edges, Incidents, Evaluations, durable subjects, reform, and community return.

UXR Release Broker, Provenance Invariants, and Closed-Pilot Release Protocol

Preserves UXR's stricter Release Broker, provenance invariants, regression controls, semantic review, and Human Release Approval architecture for a later release-control stage.

HXR: Current Project Status

HXR is a one-person founder-led Private Alpha with a live public evaluation surface and adopted human-operated intake paths. Receipt-parity fields exist for contributor and organization acknowledgment, but neither path has completed real end-to-end acknowledgment and full canonical readback. The automated Documentation Publisher is disabled and held in Shadow / Dry Run pending UXR-DEV-34; governed manual hashing, projection, exact readback, live inspection, and append-only logging are the current documentation sync path. No automatic input bridge, secure evidence portal, automatic receipt, or automatic publication is claimed.
