# Inventory: SMI knowledge surfaces temporal classification

Status: complete
Type: inventory
Updated: 2026-07-24
Next Action: use this classification during reconciliation; update only when a surface changes role
Parent: work/wp/completed/wp-reconcile-smi-baselines-current-truth-and-planning-surfaces.md
Canonical Truth: E:/dev/high_point/7520553_SMI_FW/README.md and docs/

## Scope

Classification of firmware, planning, discovery, platform-policy, shared-setup,
and evidence surfaces after the July 21 junction consolidation. This inventory
distinguishes documents that are old by design from documents that claim to be
current and require reconciliation.

## Authority Model

| Information | Authority | Temporal Role |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Product behavior and release state | firmware `README.md` and `docs/` | current truth |
| Work status, sequencing, decisions, and evidence navigation | `work/` | active coordination/history |
| July 12 repository reconnaissance | `discovery/` original files | immutable baseline |
| Current repository change since reconnaissance | `discovery/current-state-2026-07-21.md` | dated current snapshot |
| Cross-product HPT7 policy | `platform-standards/` | independent current policy/history |
| Known-good Synergy/e2 environment | `renesas-setup/` | stable baseline plus proven additions |
| Runtime/build/controller records | `work/evidence/` | immutable dated evidence |

## Surface Classification

| Surface | Location | Role | Observed As Of | Disposition |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Firmware source | `E:/dev/high_point/7520553_SMI_FW/src/` | current implementation | 2026-07-21 | authoritative for implemented behavior |
| Firmware front door | `E:/dev/high_point/7520553_SMI_FW/README.md` | current truth | 2026-07-21 | retain and add links to current service docs as needed |
| 00-04-13 plan/release notes | firmware `docs/firmware-00-04-13-*` | current candidate/release truth | 2026-07-21 | reconcile accepted configuration coverage and open gates |
| Configuration recovery doc | firmware `docs/configuration-validation-and-recovery.md` | current technical truth | pre-reconciliation | update pending section to accepted representative coverage plus deferred exhaustive cases |
| SD operations/format/evaluator docs | firmware `docs/sd-*` | current technical truth | 2026-07-21 | distinguish release gates from owner-deferred qualification |
| Service 470 plan | firmware `docs/sd-continuous-background-endurance-plan.md` | historical 00.04.13 FAT32/FileX evidence | 2026-07-24 | retain as version-4 history; not HPT 2.0 qualification |
| Service 469 doc | firmware `docs/sd-export-history-fixture.md` | historical 00.04.13 FAT32/FileX fixture | 2026-07-24 | retain the invalidated/incident-linked history; not a current HPT gate |
| HPT media 2.0 contract and operation | firmware `docs/hpt-triple-circular-media-contract.md`, `docs/sd-card-operation-and-recovery.md` | current version-5 truth | 2026-07-24 | authoritative for current SD implementation and qualification planning |
| Original discovery set | `discovery/*.md` excluding dated successor | baseline | 2026-07-12 | preserve content; add visible baseline notices, do not modernize facts |
| Discovery current successor | `discovery/current-state-2026-07-21.md` | dated current snapshot | 2026-07-21 | link baseline to successor |
| Stabilization map | `work/maps/map-smi-firmware-stabilization-and-qualification.md` | active coordination | 2026-07-21 | sole authoritative active top-level map |
| Imported July 21 map | `work/maps/map-7520553-smi-firmware.md` | superseded context | 2026-07-21 | retain with supersession link |
| Existing plan workpackages | `work/wp/` | active/completed/deferred history | per artifact | preserve statuses; update only evidence-backed changes |
| Existing checklists/tickets | `work/checklists/`, `work/tickets/` | active/superseded coordination | per artifact | close/supersede stale actions individually |
| July 14–20 evidence | `work/evidence/` existing | evidence/history | per record | immutable; never relabel historical bench names |
| Imported 00-04-13 evidence | `work/evidence/00-04-13/` | evidence/history | 2026-07-20 | hash-verified import from former local work tree |
| Imported surface inventory | `work/inventories/inventory-7520553-smi-firmware-surfaces.md` | superseded snapshot | 2026-07-21 | retain with supersession link |
| Local generated work README/index | former firmware `work/` | generated navigation | 2026-07-21 | not merged; canonical files regenerated instead |
| Platform standards policies | `platform-standards/policies/` | independent current policy | 2026-07-15 | update SMI adoption status without altering policy history |
| Platform decisions/changelog | `platform-standards/decisions/`, `CHANGELOG.md` | decision/history | 2026-07-15 | retain ADR; append adoption evidence in changelog |
| Renesas setup README/checklist/script | `renesas-setup/` | stable shared baseline | verified 2026-07-21 | preserve toolchain baseline; fix path and append proven workflows |
| Tool Shed snapshot | firmware `tool_shed/` | tools/templates/rules | copied 2026-07-21 | never store SMI project state here |

## Status Conflicts and Resolution

| Conflict | Evidence | Resolution |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Configuration doc says destructive matrix pending; canonical plan marks workpackage complete | `work/evidence/setup-a/configuration-fault-matrix-20260716.md` records accepted representative coverage and waived exhaustive cases | Treat representative release qualification as complete; describe exhaustive/direct-driver cases as accepted exclusions, not open gates |
| Evaluator doc says comparative qualification pending; canonical plan says owner-deferred | Deferred evaluator workpackage updated 2026-07-20 | Retain technical statement that broader qualification is incomplete, but state it is deferred and not a current 00-04-13 release gate |
| Discovery describes 00-04-11/schema 1 as if current | Current source is 00-04-13/schema 2 | Preserve original discovery as July 12 baseline and add dated successor |
| Platform policies say SMI adoption planned | 00-04-13 implementation and representative configuration qualification exist | Update adoption statuses to implemented/representatively qualified while keeping production release status separate |
| Two project work trees | Local tree contains 21 unique files and three generated collisions | Import unique files, regenerate canonical files, and replace local tree with a junction to canonical `work/` |

## Merge Manifest

- Local files inspected: 24.
- Generated collisions intentionally not copied: `README.md`, `index.md`, and
  `index.json`.
- Unique files preserved: 21.
- Evidence files copied and SHA-256 verified: 19.
- Unique map and inventory copied: 2; both retained as superseded context.
- No canonical file was overwritten by timestamp or bulk tree replacement.

## Observed Facts

- Current development line is `00.05.00`; the older `00.04.13` documents and
  FAT32/FileX service evidence remain dated release history.
- Service 470 is qualified on both controllers, including power-cycle recovery,
  controlled stop/cleanup, and service-474 ownership behavior.
- Service 469 is historical and its Controller A campaign was invalidated by
  the July 22 media incident; current export qualification is HPT-native.
- Normal Controller A logging remained queued-equals-completed with zero drops,
  mirror failures, or SD I/O failures during the observed service-469 run.
- Renesas setup verification passes on the current machine and project.

## Inferred or Owner-Decision Items

- Controller B service-469 coverage is not currently stated as required.
- Exact destructive SD capacity/sample qualification remains subject to owner
  authorization and the existing deferred/active plan boundaries.
- Current discovery is implemented as a dated delta rather than a full rewrite
  so the July 12 baseline remains useful.

## Verification

- [x] Firmware docs, code, validation, runtime/build, planning, and evidence surfaces are covered.
- [x] Historical baseline and current truth are distinct.
- [x] Inferred items are separate from observed facts.
- [x] Merge counts and collision decisions are recorded.
- [x] The established stabilization map is the only authoritative active top-level map.
