DEVAN

The evidence graph and UJ.OS interface powering kantimohanthy.dev: connecting sources, concepts, experiments, decisions, and artifacts with derived states instead of self-rated bars.

Traceroute path · 7 hops

Each hop isolates problem, constraints, architecture decisions, verification artifacts, and limits.

    • Replaced proficiency percentages and fabricated radar scores with a checkable ledger model.
    • Separated the recruiter reading layer (/) from the deeper knowledge atlas (/atlas/ and /devan/) on one typed dataset.
    Next hop follows below
    • Custom domain kantimohanthy.dev serves static files via GitHub Actions; Prisma DB queries cannot run in user browsers.
    • Previously hardcoded generateStaticParams in older commits caused 404s on detail slugs — fixed via unified ledger generation.
    Next hop follows below
    • deriveEvidenceState() returns ENCOUNTERED -> STUDIED -> IMPLEMENTED -> TESTED purely from populated schema fields.
    • Interactive 'Show evidence' mode (?evidence=1) annotates claims on demand without cluttering the 30-second first impression.

    Illustrative evidence chain: Source (RFC) -> Question -> Experiment -> Outcome -> Derived State.
    Next hop follows below
    • Logged full iterative DNS sequence: stub (127.0.0.53) -> root (198.41.0.4) -> .com TLD (192.5.6.30) -> authoritative (199.43.135.53) -> IN A 93.184.215.14.
    • Documented bug discovered during capture: tshark initially missed Hop 1 on eth0 because systemd-resolved answered on loopback; solved with -i any.
    Recorded verification command
    dig +trace example.com  # 4 iterative hops observed (RD=0, 2026-08-07)
    Next hop follows below
    • Build fetches public GitHub metadata into github-activity.generated.json at CI build time and falls back safely when offline.
    • Guardrail suite checks exported HTML/JS/JSON directly in out/ for broken internal links, missing assets, and forbidden tokens.
    Next hop follows below
    • TCP (RFC 9293) and TLS 1.3 concepts remain STUDIED; interactive protocol diagrams in DEVAN are labelled illustrative walkthroughs.
    • A live Q&A assistant stays excluded until server-side citation retrieval, cost caps, and evaluation are built.
    Next hop follows below
    • Attach public PCAP/log downloads and extend verified records to cover Linux socket/cgroups experiments.
