eggup-core

eggup-core is the policy-neutral local substrate for verified, multi-artifact updates. It is intentionally transport-neutral: callers acquire artifacts, prove destination ownership, and choose release and service policies; the core provides bounded local validation, private staging, SHA-256 integrity verification, bounded candidate validation, locked ownership and staged-digest revalidation, and synchronous commit/rollback with structured receipts.

Ownership uses Absent | Owned | Foreign | Unknown. Destructive replacement requires Owned, or Absent with explicit creation authorization; Foreign and Unknown fail closed. No destination parent is created automatically. Staged bytes are re-hashed under lock before any live mutation. Terminal receipts preserve failure phase, category, member, and real recovery evidence. Locks are fail-closed with inspection only and no automatic stale removal.

Integrity is checksum evidence only. No authenticity or signature verification exists in this crate.
