Questions and evidence for master history and continuity.
AR-F19
Mastership
One SQLite master and labeled native evidence
Questions
AR-Q37 Which store is authoritative for execution?host-guidanceExpected answer
- Trusted host-selected executor store identity, epoch and continuity evidence
- Identify one execution master; a matching epoch alone cannot prove the newest store.
AR-Q38 Is a native export being treated as a second master?host-guidanceExpected answer
- Native binding declaration, snapshot cut and manifest assurance
- Classify native export as evidence projection with no execution or overwrite authority.
Artifacts
- One SQLite master and labeled native evidenceRequired retained or host-supplied evidence; missing facts remain insufficient context.
Actions and unknown handling
- Keep export read-only with explicit capture time and sequence. Requires the applicable host authority.
AR-F20
History validation
Replay report and externally expected manifest root
Questions
AR-Q39 Do the records form a coherent history?host-guidanceExpected answer
- Complete bounded snapshot and validate_snapshot report including operation completion
- Assess internal consistency: current-at-sequence policies, lifecycle, effect, correction and resource history.
AR-Q40 Does this prove authenticity or the latest cut?host-guidanceExpected answer
- Externally trusted source identity and expected latest-history anchor, if available
- Internal validity does not prove authenticity or latest state; missing external anchor is insufficient context.
Artifacts
- Replay report and externally expected manifest rootRequired retained or host-supplied evidence; missing facts remain insufficient context.
Actions and unknown handling
- Separate internal consistency from authenticated current admission. Requires the applicable host authority.
AR-F21
Export recovery
Exact manifest, snapshot and deterministic native files
Questions
AR-Q41 Was every file captured at one cut?host-guidanceExpected answer
- Manifest controlSequence/eventSequence/exportedAt, snapshot and exact projected files
- Verify all retained files belong to the same cut; unexpected files or directories invalidate closure.
AR-Q42 Can an interrupted export be resumed safely?host-guidanceExpected answer
- Original retained cut and current directory bytes plus interruption type
- Resume only identical intact partial files; a torn file or changed cut requires a fresh directory.
Artifacts
- Exact manifest, snapshot and deterministic native filesRequired retained or host-supplied evidence; missing facts remain insufficient context.
Actions and unknown handling
- Resume identical bytes; a changed cut needs a new directory. Requires the applicable host authority.
AR-F22
Retention
Terminal-only key retirement event and retained key slot
Questions
AR-Q43 Can this key be reused after retirement?host-guidanceExpected answer
- Terminal state, KeyRetirementEvent and retained actor/key slot
- Retirement forbids reuse and emits no new effect; it is not deletion.
AR-Q44 Which evidence is retained?host-guidanceExpected answer
- Retained immutable request, complete history, original receipt and policy snapshots
- State full retention explicitly; legal erasure or minimization is outside this fixture.
Artifacts
- Terminal-only key retirement event and retained key slotRequired retained or host-supplied evidence; missing facts remain insufficient context.
Actions and unknown handling
- Keep nonreuse evidence; this fixture has no erasure mechanism. Requires the applicable host authority.
AR-F23
Restore continuity
Recovery decision and external continuity root
Questions
AR-Q45 Could this be a coherent old database?host-guidanceExpected answer
- Recovery history and external continuity evidence, not merely epoch/hash equality
- Recognize that a coherent older database can pass internal checks and replay.
AR-Q46 What external anchor establishes the latest state?host-guidanceExpected answer
- Host-trusted external latest-history root and reconciliation decision
- Name the actual root if supplied; otherwise halt dispatch after uncertain restore and request it.
Artifacts
- Recovery decision and external continuity rootRequired retained or host-supplied evidence; missing facts remain insufficient context.
Actions and unknown handling
- Stop and reconcile before dispatch after uncertain restoration. Requires the applicable host authority.
