Chapter 09 · Syphio Runtime
Limited Fix Preview
For supported Finding patterns, Syphio may show a bounded before-and-after preview without modifying the theme.
Chapter outcome
You will know when a preview is available, what it asserts and what remains your responsibility.
Eligibility
A preview appears only when the matched rule has a supported, bounded transformation for the observed context. Availability is determined per Finding.
Before and after
The preview shows the relevant source fragment, proposed replacement, rationale and bounded risk context.
Unavailable is a valid result
Syphio preserves the Finding, Evidence and Validation when no supported preview exists. It does not generate a speculative change to fill the interface.
No apply or deployment
The current product does not write to Shopify, modify the uploaded archive, apply the preview or deploy a theme.
Developer review
Review the proposed fragment in the complete theme context and test any manually adopted change before production use.
