Minimal artifact record - Soteris Developer Docs

This example shows an artifact in ready_for_review status: work that exists but is not yet official. The shape lets humans, agents, and partner systems distinguish what exists from what has been released. Every value is synthetic.

Example

minimal-artifact-record.json

{
  "schemaVersion": "0",
  "artifactId": "art_synthetic_001",
  "engagementId": "eng_synthetic_001",
  "kind": "review_summary",
  "status": "ready_for_review",
  "version": 1,
  "updatedAt": "2026-07-06T15:00:00Z"
}

Reading the status

ready_for_review means the work can be inspected by the review layer. It is not released, so nothing about it is externally reliable yet. The four status values and the meaning of each are defined once, in Artifact records.

An artifact can be useful before it is official. Release state is what makes it externally authoritative, per Release conditions.
