Summary

Add authenticated, resumable maintenance transitions for historical source-continuity recovery and inode-preserving archive-root relocation without weakening durable-train foreign-copy protection.

This branch is rebased once onto exact master b0cee7b99c36a7f8eb94bf122782255f42072709; published head is 42ae7279a0a701c761db153869718f7feaeae9a1.

Problem

An established archive can retain the same durable SQLite objects after a root move while its configured paths and archive identity change. Startup must distinguish that authorized transition from a copied or substituted archive. Recovery also has to remain executable after a crash, and repeated relocations must derive from the latest authenticated transition rather than accepting semantically similar evidence.

Earlier revisions left independent gaps around historical old/new file identity, moved-root backup semantics, no-rebind relocation, exact crash receipts, retained proof readers, repeated authority transitions, index-generation topology, and daemon admission.

Solution

  • Add offline source-continuity-recovery plan/apply and archive-root-relocation plan/apply operations with typed CLI results and retained prepared/committed receipts.
  • Require stopped-daemon and archive-ownership authority, exact old/new roots, full-evidence moved-root backup authority, complete six-tier inventory, immutable tier identities/hashes/schemas, released train heads, and plan-hash authorization.
  • Bind historical recovery to authenticated old/new source.db device/inode identity and to the plan's exact pre-CAS and post-CAS train-manifest hashes.
  • Make the documented sequence executable: historical recovery at the moved root, then a fresh moved-root full_evidence backup, then separate relocation plan/apply while --old-root names the retired path.
  • Validate every retained refresh/relocation proof through pinned, no-follow, regular single-link receipt readers across recovery, relocation, refresh idempotence, daemon admission, and direct watch admission.
  • Build retained V1 refresh, V2 refresh, and relocation transitions as one typed, unbranched authority chain ending at the exact current evidence; later refreshes and successive relocations derive from the latest authenticated authority.
  • CAS-revise continuity-bearing trains even when archive identity itself needs no rebind, and require exact plan-specific relocation receipt/proof bindings for both rebind and no-rebind states.
  • Rebind released source, user, and audit trains when required; validate retained relocation receipts on ordinary startup even for continuity-free source trains.
  • Retain and shell-quote exact resume plans, version incompatible plan schemas, preserve configured-root aliases through resolved receipt admission, and convert ownership conflicts into ordinary CLI refusals.
  • Remap retained generation metadata, absolute tier symlinks, the conventional active-index symlink, and .index-active-pointer. Seal each generation directory, generation.json leaf, and tier-symlink leaf by device/inode, then revalidate leaves through descriptor-relative no-follow reads before atomic publication.
  • Document the exact relocation backup contract: source.db, index.db, embeddings.db, user.db, ops.db, and audit.db, with no omitted tiers.

Verification

  • direnv exec . devtools test tests/unit/storage/test_archive_root_relocation.py
    • 45 passed in 5.68s
    • run 20260814T082831Z-focused-test-3614642-a43562c3
    • exact committed head 42ae7279a0a701c761db153869718f7feaeae9a1
  • direnv exec . devtools verify --quick
    • all 10 steps passed, exit 0, 23.48s
    • run 20260814T082724Z-quick-3610013-e09226bf
    • exact committed head 42ae7279a0a701c761db153869718f7feaeae9a1
  • Red-before/green evidence for the final P2:
    • exact prior production head 8fb8c83e8905531dcbdb168b3c3b7635d8a2932f accepted both byte-identical metadata substitution and equivalent symlink substitution (2 failed, both DID NOT RAISE, run 20260814T081811Z-focused-test-3551490-13495ec8).
    • exact committed head 42ae7279a0a701c761db153869718f7feaeae9a1 rejects both through the public apply route before retaining a plan, writing a receipt, publishing generation state, moving the active pointer, or rebinding train manifests.
  • direnv exec . devtools workspace pr-scope sync --pr 3976 bound the self-contained attestation to 42ae7279a0a701c761db153869718f7feaeae9a1.
  • direnv exec . devtools workspace pr-scope check --pr 3976 returned pr-scope OK @ 42ae7279.
  • Final repair commit 42ae7279a has a valid ED25519 Git signature.
  • No live archive, service, or Beads record was mutated.

Scope

Bead scope Disposition Evidence
None assigned or mutated Self-contained Product code, tests, generated CLI output schemas, and operator documentation implement this PR's recovery-authority contract. Live application remains separate operator work.

Adversarial review notes

  • Iteration 1 found old/new source identity, copied-archive, and plan-specific recovery-authority gaps; the branch added typed file identity, authenticated historical evidence, and exact receipt bindings.
  • Iteration 2 found the no-rebind recovery-to-relocation sequence, daemon admission, CLI semantics, and moved-root documentation inconsistent; commits through 6c288a315 made the public sequence executable and aligned the operator contract.
  • Iteration 3 found retained refresh symlink readers and repeated relocation authority incomplete; commits through 80b344591 routed proof reads through pinned receipt access and chained later transitions from authenticated predecessors.
  • Iteration 4 at d3c9cd288 found an unsealed historical post-CAS manifest, disconnected legacy authority components, and a post-validation generation-directory swap. Commit 8fb8c83e8 sealed exact post-CAS bytes, required one connected typed chain, and descriptor-pinned planned generation directories.
  • Iteration 5 at 8fb8c83e8 did not converge. Two P1 suggestions were dismissed as scope mismatches: moving all authority objects while preserving their inodes is not a foreign copy, and a rebuildable index replaced before the explicitly authoritative fresh moved-root backup is intentionally authenticated by that backup.
  • The remaining P2 from iteration 5 is repaired in 42ae7279a: plans now seal metadata and tier-link leaf identities, and public apply refuses byte-identical or target-equivalent leaf substitution before mutation. This body does not claim review convergence; a new exact-head review is requested for 42ae7279a0a701c761db153869718f7feaeae9a1.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds offline archive-root relocation and historical source-continuity recovery. It adds authenticated evidence validation, pinned maintenance receipts, durable-train transitions, CLI plan/apply commands, startup blocking, package-resource checks, schemas, documentation, and regression tests.

Changes

Archive maintenance workflows

Layer / File(s) Summary
Evidence and receipt safety
polylogue/daemon/backup.py, polylogue/storage/sqlite/migration_runner.py, polylogue/maintenance/receipt_fs.py
Backups now record archive identity and use complete package validation. Maintenance receipts use descriptor-pinned, symlink-safe, atomic filesystem operations.
Archive-root relocation
polylogue/operations/archive_root_relocation.py, polylogue/storage/sqlite/durable_change_train.py
Adds sealed relocation plans and receipts, filesystem and SQLite evidence checks, index remapping, durable-train rebinding, atomic publication, and resumable application.
Historical continuity recovery
polylogue/operations/historical_source_continuity_recovery.py, polylogue/storage/sqlite/durable_change_train.py
Adds authenticated recovery plans, exact liveness-delta validation, continuity authority chains, refresh transitions, CAS updates, and resumable recovery receipts.
Maintenance CLI and startup admission
polylogue/cli/..., polylogue/daemon/cli.py, polylogue/maintenance/offline_guard.py
Adds nested plan and apply commands, archive ownership checks, offline writer checks, and startup rejection for prepared operations.
Published contracts and validation
devtools/..., docs/..., tests/...
Registers and documents CLI result schemas, verifies packaged evidence resources, updates archive-root procedures, and adds comprehensive workflow regression coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 42ae7

This PR changes archive recovery and relocation authority, but the current head can accept self-referential backup evidence, race offline maintenance with active writers, and allow planned generation objects to be substituted during apply. These correctness and availability risks make the PR not merge-ready until the blocking paths are fixed; retained plans also need explicit schema versioning.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/archive-backup.md`:
- Line 61: Update docs/archive-backup.md:61 and docs/maintenance.md:62 to align
the backup sequence with prepare_archive_root_relocation, which authenticates
--backup-manifest against old_configured_root and old_archive_root. Remove or
qualify the instruction to create a backup at the moved root before relocation,
and state that relocation must use the verified old-root manifest; do not change
the operation contract.

In `@polylogue/maintenance/receipt_fs.py`:
- Around line 26-45: Consolidate _open_directory and _open_directory_at into one
helper that accepts an optional dir_fd parameter and passes it to os.open, using
None for the path-based case. Preserve the existing directory validation,
descriptor cleanup, and MaintenanceReceiptPathError behavior, then update both
call sites to use the unified helper.

In `@polylogue/operations/archive_root_relocation.py`:
- Around line 905-931: Extract the repeated active index pointer three-field
projection into a single helper near the surrounding receipt logic, returning
the old target, new target, and new resolved target in the existing order. Reuse
that helper when preparing the receipt, comparing an existing receipt during
resume, and building the committed receipt so all three representations remain
identical.

In `@polylogue/operations/historical_source_continuity_recovery.py`:
- Around line 978-984: Move the _require_offline_ownership_boundary call into
the OwnedArchiveLocation.acquire context in the historical-source continuity
recovery apply path, after the ownership lock is acquired. Match the ordering
used by apply_archive_root_relocation while preserving the existing resolved
archive location and mutation flow.
- Around line 72-74: Move _TEST_HISTORICAL_OPERATION_EVIDENCE_RESOURCE and its
ContextVar definition out of the production historical-source continuity module
into a test-only module, then update
tests/unit/storage/test_archive_root_relocation.py to import and use the
test-only symbol while preserving the existing override behavior. Ensure
production code can only use the packaged evidence descriptor.

In `@polylogue/storage/sqlite/durable_change_train.py`:
- Around line 598-630: Update recover_released_source_train_continuity to reject
trains whose source_continuity_evidence is already set before replacing it,
raising DurableChangeTrainError. Preserve the existing recovery behavior only
for released source trains without prior continuity evidence, and keep the
validation and proof-reference updates unchanged.

In `@polylogue/storage/sqlite/migration_runner.py`:
- Around line 729-756: Update validate_full_evidence_backup_for_audit_adoption
to load and verify the package through _load_verified_backup_package and
_validate_closed_backup_package, removing its duplicated manifest/receipt
loading and closed-package re-hash logic. Retain only the adoption-specific
tier-set and alias validation, reusing the helpers’ returned validated
artifacts.
- Around line 854-865: Update _validate_backup_manifest_covers_tier to require
the audit tier alongside source and user, matching the six-tier requirement
enforced by validate_full_evidence_backup_for_archive_root_relocation and the
tiers signed by _write_successful_verification_receipt.

In `@tests/unit/cli/test_archive_maintenance_cli.py`:
- Around line 105-107: Update the CLI help test around the existing exit-code
and command assertions to verify the complete command set, not merely the
presence of “plan” and “apply”. Parse the Commands section or use list_commands,
then assert it equals exactly the expected plan and apply commands.

In `@tests/unit/daemon/test_daemon_cli.py`:
- Around line 3649-3655: Update the daemon startup guard assertion around
configure_runtime_components to match the stable “prepared but incomplete” error
prefix instead of the broader “archive-root-relocation apply” pattern, avoiding
dependence on generated resume_command wording.

In `@tests/unit/storage/test_archive_root_relocation.py`:
- Around line 1244-1250: Update the pytest.raises assertion around
_verify_released_train_live_tier to expect the concrete exception type that this
method raises, while preserving the existing “continuity proof failed” message
match.
- Around line 786-818: Extend
test_receipt_writers_never_create_through_a_symlinked_maintenance_state to also
invoke _write_continuity_receipt with a path beneath the symlinked
.maintenance-state, assert the expected safety exception and “unsafe” message,
and verify outside remains empty.

Add an explicit, backup-attested relocation route that rebinds released source train identity without mutating archive database data. A prepared relocation receipt blocks daemon startup until the same authorized operation completes.
Revalidate immutable plan bindings while accepting only the planned before or after durable-manifest CAS states, so a prepared relocation can resume.
Authenticate pre-move root and tier inode evidence through verified backup receipts and retain the complete closed-package validator.

Make relocation apply acquire its own offline ownership boundary, and publish relocation and continuity receipts through descriptor-pinned maintenance-state directories.
Cover copytree inode changes, direct-operation ownership and daemon conflicts, stale authenticated backup evidence, and descriptor-path swaps.

Exercise historical continuity through the real CLI with a nonzero orphan deletion and idempotent resume.
Require complete device/inode continuity, validate live source leaves, and bind the historical liveness recovery to its immutable offline evidence. Make receipt-directory creation rollback safely on fsync failure and exercise prepared relocation state through the production setup path.
Bind the old and mapped active-index targets into the sealed relocation plan and receipts. Publish the mapped target atomically under the owned destination root before source-train CAS, allowing prepared recovery to resume after pointer publication.\n\nThe regression exercises a real promoted generation and rejects an external pointer target.
Add a context-local pinned fixture evidence resource for tests without changing the immutable packaged descriptor. Exercise the public recovery plan and apply routes through prepared and refresh-publication crashes, startup admission blocking, refresh receipt publication, train CAS, and idempotent resume.
Give the crash injectors the exact production function signatures so strict type checking continues to cover the exercised CLI recovery paths.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/archive-backup.md`:
- Line 45: In the backup recovery procedure, update the phrase “pre/post backup
evidence” to “pre- and post-backup evidence” while leaving the surrounding
instructions unchanged.

In `@polylogue/cli/click_command_registration.py`:
- Around line 87-91: Update _NestedLazyGroup.invoke to assign self.callback from
the resolved click.Group’s callback when _resolve() returns a group and
self.callback is None, then dispatch through click.Group.invoke so the resolved
group callback runs before the nested command.

In `@polylogue/cli/commands/maintenance/__init__.py`:
- Around line 252-254: Extract the nested command names into a module-level
constant beside _COMMANDS, then update the _command_type selection to check
membership in that constant instead of an inline set. Preserve the existing
archive-root-relocation and source-continuity-recovery entries.

In `@polylogue/cli/commands/maintenance/_source_continuity_recovery.py`:
- Around line 1-19: Regenerate the topology projection and status artifacts so
the newly added polylogue CLI module and archive_root_relocation module are
represented in the repository’s topology documentation.

In `@polylogue/daemon/backup.py`:
- Around line 249-259: Replace the recursive root.rglob("index.db") fallback in
the conventional index search with probes of only candidate parent paths derived
from configured_target.parts, bounded by len(configured_target.parts). Preserve
the existing .index-generations exclusion, suffix matching, regular-file and
non-symlink checks, and mapped_candidates population while avoiding scans of
unrelated trees such as blob.
- Around line 216-234: Update _all_archive_tiers so a valid absolute index.db
target outside root is retained as tiers["index"] instead of being replaced by
the root-only fallback scan. Preserve existing handling for invalid or
unreadable pointers, and ensure external active-index targets remain available
to later backup selection.

In `@polylogue/daemon/cli.py`:
- Around line 3423-3434: Update run_live_watcher to return the boolean result
from _shutdown_writer_coordinator_with_rebuild_exclusion, then capture that
result in the caller around asyncio.run and release archive_owner only when the
writer drained. Preserve the existing exclusion through process exit when the
drain result is false or unavailable.

In `@polylogue/maintenance/receipt_fs.py`:
- Around line 66-91: Wrap the os.mkdir call in the child-directory creation path
with explicit OSError handling, converting failures other than the existing
FileExistsError case into MaintenanceReceiptPathError with the directory context
and original exception chained. Keep the successful creation, FileExistsError
race handling, and subsequent _open_directory flow unchanged.

In `@polylogue/operations/archive_root_relocation.py`:
- Around line 1399-1420: The transition-proof validation should open
existing_maintenance_receipt_directory once before iterating over
transition_refs, keep its pinned directory descriptor for the entire loop, and
read each digest receipt through that descriptor. Preserve the existing parsing,
validation, match counting, and error behavior inside the loop.
- Around line 297-314: Update the SQLite connection handling in the tier
snapshot flow to wrap sqlite3.connect with contextlib.closing, and add the
required contextlib import. Preserve the existing read-only URI, validation,
evidence capture, and ArchiveRootRelocationError handling while ensuring the
connection is explicitly closed on every exit path.

In `@polylogue/operations/historical_source_continuity_recovery.py`:
- Around line 182-185: Remove the duplicate _train_manifest_sha256
implementation and import and reuse _durable_train_manifest_sha256 from the
durable change train module wherever the recovery flow computes the manifest
hash, preserving the existing serialization contract and comparisons.

Apply the same fix in
`@polylogue/operations/historical_source_continuity_recovery.py` around lines 176
- 179.

In `@polylogue/storage/sqlite/durable_change_train.py`:
- Around line 2791-2798: Update _refresh_source_train_continuity and other
callers that handle MigrationError so ArchiveRootRelocationError and
HistoricalSourceContinuityRecoveryError are handled through the same recovery
path, either by catching both explicitly or making them derive from
MigrationError. Preserve prepared-operation resume_command details in the
resulting operator-facing error instead of allowing startup failures to escape
uncaught.

In `@polylogue/storage/sqlite/migration_runner.py`:
- Around line 861-876: Update prepare_archive_root_relocation to reject any
backup root located inside backup_archive_root before validating the package,
and validate each backup artifact against its corresponding live tier rather
than passing target_tier=None and live_tier_path=None to
_validate_closed_backup_package. Preserve the existing receipt verification for
SOURCE, USER, and AUDIT while enforcing both root separation and per-tier
live-alias checks.

In `@tests/unit/daemon/test_daemon_cli.py`:
- Around line 4164-4187: The test currently verifies only the archive-root
relocation guard; extend it to cover
assert_no_prepared_historical_source_continuity_recovery as well. Add a prepared
historical-continuity receipt scenario, or mock that guard and assert it is
invoked during both run_daemon_services startup and the CliRunner watch route,
while preserving the existing relocation assertions.

Address exact-head maintenance review findings across nested CLI dispatch, backup tier selection, offline writer ownership, receipt filesystem failures, and relocation authority validation.

Compatibility: retain historical backup manifests without source inode fields, connected V1 continuity refresh histories, and prepared V3 relocation plans. V3 plans may only resume an already prepared transition; new publication requires V4 leaf identities and a bound prepared receipt.

Please review exact pushed head 39507e67f265aa12e4d5740d2e2241c86fe2e832. Focus on backward-compatible historical manifests and V1 histories, V3 prepared-plan resume, prepared-receipt gating for post-state leaves, offline watcher ownership, pinned receipt handling, and backup tier aliasing.

Problem: legacy V1 source refresh receipts record fresh observation timestamps, while relocation resume accepted any structurally shaped revision-1 receipt as publication evidence.

What changed: chain valid V1 refreshes by sealed source evidence and ordered refresh timestamps. Require a revision-1 receipt to recreate its sealed revision-0 preparation state before admitting post-publication leaves.

Verification: devtools test selected relocation regressions; devtools verify --quick.

Learning: In `polylogue/storage/sqlite/durable_change_train.py`, the `AuditRepository.reconcile_continuity()` runtime-consumer adapter intentionally runs against the live archive root while the caller holds the exclusive archive mutation lease. Its purpose is to recover and validate a pending source/audit continuity command before durable-train proof acceptance. `AuditContinuityCoordinator.runtime_probe()` is the separate read-only probe path.

This preserves the `#3947` audit-adoption and continuity behavior and supports valid external active-index targets plus direct `.index-generations/index.db` targets. `canonical_active_index_path` has a separate rebuild-pointer normalization contract and must not be applied to this bootstrap path.

Problem: retained V1 relocation receipts and pre-inode historical backups
could not prove every safe resume or destination condition after an upgrade.
Offline source mutations could also invalidate a prepared recovery, and watch
reported prepared-operation refusals as internal exceptions.

What changed: emit versioned V2 relocation receipts while verifying V1 against
its original field set, resume authenticated V3 revision-zero receipts, bind
legacy recovery destinations to released-train identity, and fence source
mutation admission on prepared operations. Watch now returns Click errors
before its start message, and relocation output lists only rewritten manifests.

Compatibility: V1 receipts, V3 plans, and V2 recovery JSON retain their
original checksum semantics. Legacy copies remain refused.

Review-thread closure at f61b272:

  • 3781494493: the existing optional pre-inode identity path remains covered by the real historical backup regression.
  • 3782274406 and 3783580691: a retained pre-leaf-sealing V3 plan with an original raw V1 revision-zero receipt now resumes.
  • 3783580685: V2 historical recovery keeps its original ASCII-escaped canonical JSON.
  • 3783580706: watch ownership acquisition was already a Click error.
  • 3783625838: missing legacy identities round-trip as JSON null in the sealed refresh payload.
  • 3783714639: new relocation receipts are V2; V1 checksums use the original field set.
  • 3783714642: prepared relocation and historical-recovery refusals are Click errors before the watch start message.
  • 3783714646: legacy backups authenticate the destination through the released train identity, accepting a real rename and rejecting a copied archive.
  • 3783714651: shared source-mutation admission now consults both prepared-operation guards.
  • 3783714659: changed_manifests now contains only train manifests actually rewritten, including the committed-receipt replay path.

Verification: focused 8-test regression selection passed; devtools verify --quick passed; pr-scope sync/check passed at f61b272.

P2 Badge Authenticate active-index pointer leaves before publication

When .index-active-pointer or the conventional index.db symlink is atomically replaced after planning—with either the byte-identical old target or the mapped new target before the first apply—this validation still succeeds because the plan seals only target strings and the target database inode, not either pointer leaf's identity, and post-state targets are not gated on an existing prepared receipt. Apply can therefore commit pointer objects that were never observed by the plan and cannot distinguish substitution from crash recovery; seal both leaf identities and admit mapped post-states only after a matching prepared receipt exists.

P1 Badge Map persisted paths from the configured old-root alias

When the pre-move configured root was a symlink alias, the bootstrapped .index-active-pointer retains an absolute path beneath that configured alias, but this resolves --old-root to its physical target before _active_index_pointer_evidence() checks ownership. The pointer target is therefore not relative to old_resolved, so planning rejects an otherwise supported inode-preserving move before it can use the separately recorded old_configured_root; use the configured old path for mapping persisted absolute paths while reserving the resolved path for inode and filesystem identity checks.

P1 Badge Keep completed V1 relocation transitions loadable

When an archive completed a source-continuity relocation using the previously emitted polylogue.source-continuity-relocation.v1 artifact, its released train permanently retains that transition digest in proof_refs. After upgrading, startup reaches this reader through _validate_source_continuity_refresh_receipt() but rejects the authenticated artifact solely because the constant now names V2, so the relocated archive can no longer reconcile; decode the V1 refresh_receipt_sha256 field as a typed refresh predecessor while preserving its original checksum format.
