YAML syntax and typed ledger-field failures return the existing InvalidInput code with structured details:
{
"location": {
"locator": "file:///project/work.yaml",
"pointer": "/work_items/0/title",
"line": 3,
"column": 10
},
"rule": "ledger.string",
"repair": "Use a quoted string or a YAML block scalar (|) for multiline text."
}
Line and column are one-based. Field pointers use the original source vocabulary, including configured Chinese names, and JSON Pointer escaping. Syntax failures may only have parser coordinates. Unsupported location lookup, such as YAML aliases, retains the field pointer with null coordinates; it does not reject an otherwise valid source. Diagnostics do not include the rejected value or a raw source excerpt. Repair text describes the expected structure and does not edit it.
For example, title: [Draft, Review] is a list where a string is required. Use title: "Draft, Review" if that is the intended title. Long descriptions can use YAML block scalars; valid Chinese text and paths with spaces remain supported. Keep the work record focused on intent, acceptance and current progress; reference design documents and reports when their bodies are not needed in every query.
awr source reindex prints operation success, projection completeness, source location, rule and repair from the same index report serialized by --json and returned by MCP awr_source_reindex. A successful source scan can still have an incomplete projection: scanning observes sources without importing their changed facts. Check both fields. Compare alternate output formats from equivalent starting snapshots because reindexing itself updates source state.
work show and MCP awr_work_get include evidence_groups alongside the existing flat evidence list. Each group has one exact locator and separate records with their own source SHA, digest, scope, branch, evidence level, currency and missing bindings. Human output prints these groups. A source reference and a verified report at the same path remain distinct; grouping never transfers verification, resolves path aliases or changes completion checks.
