# Proof configuration

> Storage, retention, and troubleshooting for proof artifacts.

## Storage

Proof files live under the project's `.ade/` directory:

```text theme={null}
.ade/artifacts/computer-use/
  <artifact-id>.png
  <artifact-id>.mp4
  <artifact-id>.zip
```

Metadata such as owner links, review state, notes, and file type lives in ADE's local database.

## Retention

ADE keeps proof artifacts until you dismiss or delete them. This preserves review evidence after a PR or task is complete.

Clean up old proof from the UI when artifacts are no longer useful. Avoid deleting files directly from `.ade/artifacts/`, because that leaves database records pointing at missing files.

## Troubleshooting
