Doc Keep — every document you can reach, in one list

Doc Keep is a single long list of every document stored in the compartments

you can reach, with a column for each thing the vault knows about it: the

filename, two dates, the size, the type it was identified as, the

compartments it is filed in, the summary the vault wrote after reading it

and the keywords it drew from that summary. The list is bounded by the

engine and not by the page, so a document filed somewhere you cannot reach

is not hidden on this view — it is not on it.

The two dates are deliberately kept apart, because they are not the same

kind of thing. The ingestion date is when this vault received the file: the

vault recorded it itself and nobody outside can move it. The file date is

the oldest date the document claims about itself, read out of the file's own

metadata, which the person who sent the file chose the contents of. Where a

file claims no date of its own, or claims one the vault refuses as

implausible, the vault keeps the claim empty and records why, so the column

can fall back to the ingestion date and say on the row that this is what it

is showing. A blank cell would say nothing and a borrowed date that does not

admit it is borrowed would say something false.

Sorting, filtering and paging exist so that a long list stays readable. They

are presentation and nothing else: everything a filter can bring into view

was in the list before it was typed, because the vault is never told what

the reader is looking for and offers no way to ask it for more.
