The Matrix keeps its self-reported control state in your browser. This guide shows how to inspect that local workflow; optional network features have separate data boundaries.
1. Network Activity Audit
To inspect network activity when changing Matrix statuses:
- Right-click anywhere on the dashboard and select Inspect, or press F12.
- Select the Network tab in the developer console.
- Toggle various compliance checkboxes in the GDPR or HIPAA lists.
- Observe whether changing a status sends any XHR, Fetch, or WebSocket requests. Loading assets or using optional features may cause other requests.
2. Local Storage Inspection
The application saves checklist variables directly to browser sandbox cache. You can view this state ledger at any time:
- Open DevTools and select the Application (or Storage) tab.
- Expand the Local Storage group and select
http://localhost:4321(or your deployment origin). - You will see active state key-value entries:
gdpr-1togdpr-6(boolean value states)hipaa-1tohipaa-6(boolean value states)
3. Export Integrity Digests
When generating JSON exports, the file is created directly via raw browser memory manipulation using the Blob stream constructor. No cloud compilation microservices are targeted. The SHA-256 digest is computed locally using crypto.subtle.digest. It identifies a snapshot; it is not a digital signature and does not prove who created or modified it.
4. Local Workflows After Loading
Matrix status changes and local report generation run in the browser after the page loads. Availability without a connection depends on whether the required assets remain available in your browser; optional features can require network access.
