ProofLoop

Inspiration

Solo developers and small teams often finish a build with evidence scattered across source files, tests, documents, and browser tabs. The code may work, but the final release decision is still difficult to audit.

What it does

ProofLoop presents project requirements, implementation evidence, test references, documentation links, and AI-use disclosure as a single evidence timeline. A release gate summarizes the current state and exposes a manifest preview before submission.

How it was built

The prototype uses React and Vite with local component state and synthetic evidence fixtures. It requires no external API, paid service, customer data, or private repository access.

Challenges

The main design challenge was keeping incomplete work visible without making the gate misleading. The prototype therefore distinguishes passed, in-progress, and not-started items and labels all data as synthetic demo content.

Accomplishments

The project provides a working responsive UI, passed-check filtering, local requirement creation, release-gate interactions, and a manifest review flow. The production build and core interactions were tested locally on desktop and mobile layouts.

What was learned

A trustworthy release workflow needs evidence provenance and explicit limitations, not just a green status indicator. The current prototype makes those boundaries visible and provides a path toward CI ingestion and signed manifests.

What's next

Future work could add repository and CI adapters, immutable artifact hashes, policy-as-code checks, persistent storage, and signed release attestations.
