compact-surfaces-stale-reason-metadata
IN premise
OUT nodes with `stale_reason` in their metadata include the reason string in the compact output.
Summary
When a belief has been retracted and carries metadata explaining why it went stale, the compact display format includes that explanation text. This means users reviewing the system state can immediately see not just that something was retracted, but the specific reason it became outdated, without needing to drill into the full details.
Dependents
These beliefs depend on this one:
- staleness-information-survives-binary-truth-model — Despite the TMS using binary IN/OUT truth values with no distinct STALE state, staleness information is preserved end-to-end: stale beliefs are mapped to OUT on import with stale_reason metadata, and the compact output surfaces this metadata for OUT nodes — so downstream consumers can distinguish intentional retractions from staleness-driven ones.
