# Graph Discovery Spec
Status: draft
Scope: how PodMan discovers graph nodes, edges, risk paths, and learning paths from MongoDB
Owner: graph discovery / Team memory observatory
## Purpose
Graph discovery turns MongoDB memory into a legible Team memory graph. It is not
only layout. It decides which relationships matter, which path is highlighted,
and which evidence explains the graph.
The graph must answer:
1. Who is working?
2. Which files or symbols overlap?
3. Where is the risk?
4. What did PodMan do?
5. What outcome changed memory?
## Source Data
Graph discovery reads:
- `pods`
- `engineer_states`
- `observations`
- `collisions`
- `interventions`
- `outcomes`
- `team_model`
- `graph_nodes`
- `graph_edges`
- optional `memory_vectors`
- optional `agent_runs`
- optional `strategy_versions`
## UI Graph Contract
```text

activity?
```
Node kinds:
```text
engineer, feature, file, collision, intervention
```
Edge kinds:
```text
owns, editing, touches, collides, warns, learned_from
```
## Discovery Rules
### Engineer nodes
Create from pod roster, recent observations, git state, or collision membership.
### File nodes
Create only from normalized real file paths. Reject noise such as URLs, env
values, scratch names, and non-file strings.
### Collision nodes
Create from distinct collision signatures. Collapse repeats. Prioritize
collisions referenced by accepted outcomes.
### Intervention nodes
Create one visible intervention per surviving collision unless whole-graph mode
explicitly expands history.
### Learned paths
Create `learned_from` only when an accepted real outcome links an intervention
to a durable memory update.
## Path Modes
### Risk path
Default mode. Highlight the clearest current chain:
```text
engineer -> file -> collision -> intervention -> learned owner
```
Dim unrelated graph material.
### Learning edges
Highlight `learned_from`, `owns`, and the outcomes that produced them.
### Whole graph
Show all materialized nodes and edges with de-emphasized non-critical edges.
## MongoDB Traversal
Use `graph_edges` for reachability:
```text
source -> target -> next target
```
Primary traversal questions:
- What risks does this engineer reach?
- Which files feed this collision?
- Which intervention came from this collision?
- Which learned owner came from this intervention?
## Metrics
Minimum metrics:
- Learned owners.
- Open risk paths.
- Accept rate.
Optional metrics:
- Observations.
- Interventions.
- Memory vectors.
- Strategy versions.
## Acceptance Criteria
- Default graph is not a hairball.
- Every visible learned edge has outcome evidence.
- Every selected node can explain why it matters.
- Activity stream matches graph events.
- Graph can be rebuilt from MongoDB source records.
