Defines what Prism currently guarantees and what remains out of scope.

In Scope

• conventional role structure scanning
• static include/import path resolution
• variable and template signal extraction from parseable source
• style-aware rendering and section mapping
• collection summaries and plugin inventory payloads

Out of Scope

• full runtime variable precedence evaluation
• unconstrained runtime include-path resolution
• exact runtime values for computed task-time expressions
• replacing ansible-playbook execution validation

Practical Use

Treat generated docs as high-quality static documentation and pair with test execution for runtime assurance.

Contract Reliability Model

When used as an automation contract, confidence should be interpreted as:

• explicit: directly declared in parseable source
• inferred: derived from static context with bounded confidence
• dynamic-unknown: runtime-dependent and intentionally marked uncertain

This model preserves trust by exposing uncertainty instead of speculating on runtime-only behavior.
