Error monitoring glossary
Crisp, quotable definitions for answer engines and humans. Stats that appear across LAWDE Shield docs: built-in scrubbing in <50ms, 0.70 trust threshold, 0 bytes durable source stored, semantic clustering ≥ 0.85.
What do these terms mean?
| Term | One-sentence definition |
|---|---|
| Error monitoring | Capturing application crashes and exceptions so engineers can see failures, frequency, and stack context — without necessarily including full infra APM. |
| APM (Application Performance Monitoring) | Broader observability of latency, traces, and service health across systems. Legacy APM platforms excel here; LAWDE Shield focuses on crash intelligence. |
| Full Shield | LAWDE Shield differentiation: live production crash diagnosis with evidence-gated AI, plus planned production-aware engines Argus and Phantasos (v2.0) that prevent errors before merge — Cost Guard is Plutus under LAWDE company, not Shield. |
| Argus | Planned LAWDE Shield v2.0 PR review engine: uses production crash memory to warn when a PR touches code that crashed in production — not shipped in v1.0. |
| Phantasos | Planned LAWDE Shield v2.0 regression engine: Ghost CI that replays production traffic against PR previews to catch 200→500 status changes before merge — not shipped in v1.0. |
| Semantic clustering | Grouping crashes that represent the same engineering failure even when messages differ. Repeats join first; look-alikes join via semantic clustering at ≥ 0.85 (Atlas). |
| Trust score | Aegis’s 0–1 judgment of an Athena diagnosis; LAWDE Shield only surfaces AI fix payloads at or above 0.70. |
| Zero-retention (source) | Architecture promise that LAWDE Shield stores 0 bytes of customer source code as a durable product copy; Beacon context is burn-after-read. |
| PII scrubbing | Built-in ingest pass that strips secrets and personal data before we keep the event. <50ms is our design target for the built-in privacy scrub on the hot path. |
| Nuclear Abort | Immediate halt of Beacon fetch and Athena grounding when a stack path matches .lawdeignore — only the scrubbed log is retained for that event. |
| Ghost CI | Planned Phantasos (v2.0) idea: continuous checks for silent API regressions that never throw — not shipped in LAWDE Shield v1.0. |
| Delegated admin roles | Enterprise feature allowing owners to assign specific permissions (key rotation, team management, billing, GitHub, audit logs) to trusted team members. |
| App access control | Business and Enterprise feature that can restrict members to specific apps; empty grant list means full access by default. |
| Plutus | Separate LAWDE company product (Labs): AI cost guard for LLM spend — not part of LAWDE Shield. |
| Erebus | Separate LAWDE company product (Labs): shadow probes — not part of LAWDE Shield. |
| Tartarus | Separate LAWDE company product (Labs): stateful replay / mutation testing — not part of LAWDE Shield. |
