Route integrity
Every visible nav, footer, CTA, archive, and seeded page must resolve without exposing staging residue.
Dogfooding Program
How BarkBowl dogfoods the dogfood.
BarkBowl is not just a page that explains dogfooding. It is a working dogfood surface for its own parts: catalog, Time Bowl, session TTL, checkout records, telemetry events, feature flags, UAIX handoff files, route shells, claim boundaries, and release artifacts.
Verification model
Dogfooding verifies parts, not slogans.
The program treats every public promise as a hypothesis. A route must resolve. A shortcode must render or fail clearly. A cart must persist and expire. A handoff must tell the next agent what changed. A claim must stay bounded by evidence.
Time-commerce mechanics
Products add to a Time Bowl, totals burn time, TTL expires honestly, and Commit Minutes creates a dogfood record.
Telemetry evidence
Successful and failed actions become events with route, component, correlation, feature-flag state, and UTC timestamps.
UAIX memory
Startup packets, receiver briefs, file handoff, decisions, progress, and next prompts must update before handoff is credible.
Claim boundaries
BarkBowl can say it dogfoods verification flows. It must not imply proof, certification, runtime command, or automatic approval.
Version parity
WordPress headers, package.json, docs, checksums, and ZIP names must share the same minor-release story.
Rollout rings
The bowl gets wider only when evidence earns it.
Ring 0: Builder Pack
Developers and site builders verify activation, lint, typecheck, route shells, seeding, ZIP integrity, and version parity.
Exit: no blocker errors in install, product, cart, checkout, route-shell, and packaging paths.
Ring 1: Friendly Maintainers
Small internal group validates premise clarity, Time Bowl language, telemetry evidence, and UAIX handoff readability.
Exit: 80% add-to-cart success, 70% premise comprehension, visible evidence for each reported defect.
Ring 2: Cross-Functional Kennel
Product, design, QA, support, and operations validate support readiness, accessibility, copy boundaries, and semantic drift.
Exit: checkout success above 90%, severe bug count below threshold, feedback loop operating.
Ring 3: Public Yard
Broader public release validates comprehension, performance, stability, route recovery, and claim-boundary resilience.
Exit: stable Web Vitals, endpoint performance, low cart failure rate, and no copied claims outrunning evidence.
Teleodynamic ecosystem lens
BarkBowl does not command other domains. It uses the Teleodynamic ecosystem as a verification frame: Teleodynamic.com provides claim boundaries, UAIX provides memory-package discipline, ErrorNotifier-style telemetry provides failure evidence, Neurokinetic-style semantics guards meaning drift, and CreativeExpansion-style packets remain drafts until human review.
The dogfood question for every release is simple: which part did this bowl verify, what evidence did it leave, what claim did it refuse to widen, and what still needs a human reviewer?
