What was measured

From the most recent recorded attempt, which did not reach a verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.

What was not measured

The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.

Install time
the run did not report one
Cold machine to finish
the attempt was stopped at the time limit after 87 minutes, so it never finished
Errors hit and fixed
the attempt was cut off at the time limit before it reported what it had hit
How the result was proved
runs before 2026-09-07 did not record the command used to check the result
Peak GPU memory
this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
Model tokens used
not recorded for this run
Behaviour over a long run
each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
Whether it works at all
the attempt did not get far enough to verify anything before the time limit

Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.

How it was tested

One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.

Also tested, in the same area

Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

Questions

Does photocraft run?
photocraft has not been fully verified yet. No recorded run has produced a verdict yet.
How did Argusic test photocraft?
On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
Where is the evidence for photocraft?
The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
