# Barcode autopsy: weak signal and unsafe rescue

- Category: `Report zoo`
- Assay type: `inline_barcode`
- Evidence level: Documented example
- Dataset: SRP009896/SRR391079 barcode autopsy fixture
- Condition shown: A review-status run with low-confidence offset evidence, low assignment rate, high ambiguity, and unsafe one-edit correction.
- Primary report: [docs/evidence-gallery/snapshots/barcode_autopsy/report.html](../snapshots/barcode_autopsy/report.html)

## What This Shows

- DotMatch can turn a suspicious barcode run into a readable report with findings, next actions, and command provenance.
- The report keeps ambiguous and unmatched evidence instead of silently assigning it.
- Unsafe one-edit correction is surfaced as a report finding.

## What It Does Not Show

- The review status is intentional and should not be interpreted as a production-ready barcode assignment.
- Users must correct the assay specification or barcode design before trusting rescued reads.

## Comparator And Validation

Comparator semantics: This is a diagnostic barcode autopsy run, not a broad comparator benchmark. It records the configured fixed-window barcode semantics and native audit/inspect-unmatched commands.

Validation: The report is generated from committed autopsy outputs and checked by barcode validation fixtures.
