Show evidence status

Verification status of a selection per view, from the evidence records (SR-031) and, without own record, from the children with the children that are missing (SR-034); validation status from the validation records (SR-038).

Command evidence.status. Reads the workspace and changes no file.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
`selection`	`selection`	no	Which elements a command works on: a saved filter, an inline filter, a package, a baseline or explicit IDs, optionally seen through a variant view.
`limit`	`integer`	no	Default: `200`.
`offset`	`integer`	no	Default: `0`.

Output

Field	Type	Required	Description
`elements`	array of `element`	yes	One page of the selection in workspace order, each element as element.list gives it, with `verification` for every element whose type has the meaning `requirement`: its verification status (SR-031, ADR-0012 “Status rules”) in each view it is in by the view rule: the core when it has no validity, each variant it is in; none for a variant that excludes or replaces it (SR-043, SR-047 AK3), and for a requirement without own verification record in a view its indirect verification from its children (`indirect`) or the children that are missing (`missingChildren`, SR-034); an element marked emergent (SR-035) is never `indirect`; and `validation`, the validation status (SR-038, `$defs/element` `validation`: every need, any other element with a validation record). Derived from the evidence records; it is not the element’s `status` and never changes it (D-030). While the metamodel is not valid the records are not compared: every requirement is `open`, every need `open`, and no other element has `validation`.
`total`	`integer`	yes	Every element of the selection, not only the page.
`incomplete`	`incomplete`	no	A repository of the workspace is not available here (SR-006 AK2): its elements, and the records of its evidence locations, are missing.
`names`	array of `elementName`	no	The elements that `verification` names by UUID only, each once in the order first named: the variants of its views and the missing children (`missingChildren`), so a reader names them by short ID, identifier and title (#588). Left out when it names none.
