The inspector

greenline inspect opens the repository as a local browser document at http://127.0.0.1:7433/ or your chosen --port. It ends when you stop the process. Run it inside an initialized Git repository.

What you can read#

• Work and checks: current artifacts and read-only diagnostics.
• Receipts and accounts: each garden consultation's receipt, its publication and every call's operation, outcome and units, and the contributor declarations, with evidence limits kept separate.
• Repository policy: the decisions book, root statements, latest manual-save evidence and the House rulings in AGENTS.md.
• Installation: harness and skill choices, the enabled connectors, actual installed files and changes compared with Git HEAD.

Missing Git baselines and unreadable files are reported as unavailable. Installed orphans remain visible until you deliberately resolve them. The inspector never starts garden or contacts a service.

Saving a choice#

Settings live in .greenline/manifest.json. The decisions book lives in .greenline/DECISIONS.md; its repository-memory contract is in the installed WORK.md. House rulings are dash bullets under ## House rulings outside AGENTS.md's managed markers. The stanza is optional; the inspector's editor can create it when you save actual rules. You can edit these files directly or use the inspector.

A save checks the revision your page opened. If another edit intervenes, it refuses and keeps the draft on the page. A changed save records the file's latest before/after hashes and time in .greenline/policy-changes.json. Git preserves history; this compact marker is not a queue of assessments. Saving does not prove that the decision's consequences have been handled.

Save and sync are separate actions. Use Sync installation after changing harnesses or skill availability. A failed sync leaves the saved choice intact. Conflicting managed content and orphans require explicit resolution; user edits are never silently erased. Connectors are enabled and disabled with greenline connectors, not here. Credentials come from the process environment and cannot be entered or saved here.

When it refuses#

Reload a stale editor before saving. Let another writer finish before retrying. Repair malformed policy or receipt files using the named diagnostic. An occupied port needs another port. Foreign browser origins are refused. A missing CLI installation payload needs restoration before the inspector can render desired output. greenline doctor can still report independent repository facts.

A receipt shows what garden returned to a request. It does not prove that a model read, understood or applied that knowledge. With no connector enabled, the page shows that no consultation was made.
