strata19.capture

What it does

Record a weak observation in one call, without asserting a finding, creating a work item, or blocking the current work. Cheap to write, never rejected: the capture lands in the triage inbox raw, with its origin (the run and work item it was noticed during) and the index generation it was observed at stamped automatically.

When to use it

Use when: you noticed something mid-task that should not die in prose — a suspicious pattern, a missing test, a naming inconsistency, a possible follow-up — but asserting a finding or opening a work item would cost more than the moment allows · "note this for later" · "someone should look at this" while staying in scope

Also use when: you want to stay in the current work item and still leave a durable, queryable trace: a capture never changes the work item's state and returns immediately

When not to use it

the observation is already a located, defensible finding — use the finding tools (author_finding); or it is actionable NOW and belongs in the plan — use manage_work_item; or it is a conversation excerpt for the library — use library_capture. A capture is deliberately weaker than all of these; triage promotes it later if it earns it.
