# VG-Environment — Workspace Model

## Purpose of workspace separation

VG-Environment intentionally uses multiple workspaces and chats as architectural boundaries.

The separation is not organizational overhead.

It exists to:
- reduce context overload
- protect architectural clarity
- separate responsibilities
- prevent feature drift
- keep modules understandable
- avoid uncontrolled coupling
- maintain long-term project coherence

Workspaces are therefore treated as:
intentional architectural control structures.

## Role of orchestration

Orchestration is responsible for:
- architectural direction
- project coherence
- responsibility boundaries
- long-term consistency
- strategic prioritization
- preventing uncontrolled feature growth
- protecting Observe/Analysis separation

Orchestration is NOT:
- the primary implementation workspace
- the primary Codex coding workspace
- the place for uncontrolled experimentation

Implementation decisions should follow architectural guidance,
not replace it.

## VG-Core

VG-Core contains neutral infrastructure.

Examples:
- storage infrastructure
- export infrastructure
- helper utilities
- platform abstractions
- reusable technical primitives
- runtime-independent shared logic

VG-Core should remain:
- generic
- reusable
- technically neutral

VG-Core must avoid:
- Observe-specific UX logic
- analysis heuristics
- interpretation logic
- feature-specific UI coupling

---

## VG-Observe

VG-Observe is responsible for runtime visibility and technical evidence observation.

Observe focuses on:
- technically observable browser behavior
- consent-state visibility
- request observation
- runtime reconstruction
- evidence-oriented presentation
- technical temporal relations

Observe answers:
"What was technically observed?"

Observe must remain:
- technically grounded
- reproducible
- explainable
- interpretation-minimal

Observe must NOT drift into:
- speculative analysis
- scoring systems
- behavioral interpretation
- legal evaluation
- hidden heuristics
- AI-generated assumptions

Observe is evidence-oriented,
not conclusion-oriented.

---

## VG-Analysis

VG-Analysis is intentionally separated from Observe.

Analysis is responsible for:
- interpretation
- discrepancy analysis
- pattern recognition
- higher-level correlation models
- hypothesis generation
- analytical reconstruction

Analysis answers:
"What could this technically mean?"

Analysis may operate on:
- aggregated observations
- reconstructed sequences
- comparison logic
- repeated runtime behavior
- later evidence evaluation

Observe must not silently absorb Analysis responsibilities.

---

## VG-Graph

VG-Graph is responsible for relationship and network visualization.

Examples:
- origin relationships
- vendor relationships
- consent propagation structures
- communication topology
- runtime interaction visualization

VG-Graph should visualize existing observations,
not invent meaning.

---

## VG-Block

VG-Block is intentionally separated from observation logic.

VG-Block may later contain:
- blocking logic
- rewrite/testing logic
- intervention tooling
- experimental runtime manipulation

Observation and intervention must remain separated.

A system should not silently modify the same runtime it documents.

---

## Workspace evolution

Additional workspaces are expected over time.

Workspace splitting is considered healthy when:
- context overload increases
- responsibilities blur
- architecture becomes unstable
- implementation and orchestration begin mixing
- Observe and Analysis start overlapping

Workspace separation is therefore treated as:
a stability mechanism,
not a workflow inconvenience.

---

## Long-term architectural principle

VG-Environment is intended to evolve as:
- a technically understandable
- evidence-oriented
- locally controlled
- reproducible
- inspectable

runtime reconstruction environment.

The project must resist:
- uncontrolled architecture expansion
- feature accumulation without user value
- hidden complexity growth
- loss of explainability
- blurred module responsibilities

Architectural clarity is considered a core project asset.
