gage 0.3.6

//! What this machine did with what arrived.
//!
//! Every other record in gage is an artifact: a bundle in `pending`, a copy in
//! `sent`, a witness in `state.json`. Artifacts answer *what was said*. None
//! of them answers *what this machine decided*, and once anything happens
//! while nobody is watching, that is the only question worth asking.
//!
//! Built now, deliberately inert, before the thing that needs it. The reason
//! is that **capture is the part that cannot be retrofitted**: a verdict that
//! was never recorded when it was computed is gone, and recomputing it later
//! is not a recovery, it is a different answer wearing the same name.
//!
//! One thing that ordering does *not* buy, because the first draft of this
//! file implied it did and a reviewer refused the implication: a hash chain
//! added later proves only that entries have not changed **since chaining
//! began**. It cannot distinguish a genuine pre-chain history from one that
//! was edited, reordered or fabricated before the chain existed -- it would
//! chain a forged history just as faithfully. Capture-first is still the right
//! order, but it buys evidence about verdicts, not retroactive tamper
//! evidence. A key rotation, a `gage add`, a retirement --
//! any of them changes what `Contacts::verdict` returns for a bundle that
//! arrived before it. So the verdict is written down when it is computed and
//! never derived again.
//!
//! The shape of an entry follows a review by the muse reviewer, which asked
//! what an auditor actually wants after an agent acts on something it should
//! not have, and then cut every field that answered no question. What is here
//! is what survived that cut.
//!
//! ## What is deliberately not in an entry
//!
//! **No subject, no filenames, no payload, no handle.** Partly because the
//! retained bundle already answers "which exact bytes" and a second copy is a
//! second thing to leak. Mostly because every one of those is text the
//! *sender* wrote, and a log is read later, by a human skimming or by a model
//! summarising. A field an attacker can fill is a stored injection against
//! whatever reads the log next, which would make the audit trail an attack
//! surface -- the precise inversion of its job.
//!
//! Of the sender-chosen values that do earn a place -- the thread id, the
//! manifest id, the keys -- the thread id is the one kept for its own sake,
//! because "what else had this agent been told that made this look normal"
//! needs it. Each is validated on the way in; none is quoted text.
//! It is admitted only if it looks like an id (hex, bounded); anything else
//! is recorded as the fact that it was unparseable, which is itself worth
//! knowing and cannot carry a payload.
//!
//! ## What a log cannot tell you, said here so nobody reads it as more
//!
//! gage's knowledge stops at the bundle boundary. This file cannot say what
//! the agent did after `gage open` -- which tools it called, which files it
//! touched, what it sent onward -- nor whether a human was actually looking,
//! because `accept` records an act and not an intention. It cannot prove the
//! record is complete, since a bundle that never arrived leaves no trace and
//! deletion is indistinguishable from non-arrival. An auditor handed a clean
//! log will be tempted to treat the answerable questions as the whole story;
//! they are not, and the harm usually happened in the part that is missing.
//!
//! Nor is it tamper-proof. It is append-only by convention and a process
//! running as this user can rewrite it wholesale, keys and all. Claiming
//! otherwise would be theatre. What it defends against is the realistic
//! case: an agent or a script quietly dropping the entry that incriminates
//! it, which a later hash chain would make detectable, and ordinary loss.
