Where plune ingest <dir> sends a Cairn run after reading it off disk (ADR-CI-01) — the client is @plune-ai/cli, and the dashboard never calls this surface. Generated cases NEVER become test cases here — they are queued as proposals for a human (ADR-CI-03), so ADR 0010 holds. Idempotent per project on run.runId: a repeat writes nothing and replays the same counters.

Cairn’s content-derived identity — the dedup key.

verdict

ABSENT means the run never executed this case (a design run writes cases and runs nothing) — not “no result yet”. Only an executed case can become a Result.

rationale

Why the agent thinks this case is worth having. Read by opening an item: at 400 characters it does not fit a queue row.

string
>= 1 characters <= 400 characters
externalKeys

Identifiers this test already has elsewhere, so the queue can say which existing case a proposal looks like. An unknown kind refuses the WHOLE ingest and names the accepted ones: a partial acceptance would leave the agent believing it had sent something matchable, and the only symptom would be an entry with no comparison — indistinguishable from a case that genuinely is new.

Array<object>
<= 32 items

An identifier another tool already uses for this test, so a report can find its case without anyone typing a Plune id. The order of kind is load-bearing: it is the ranking that decides which key wins when several match different cases.
