SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Rollback provides a safe, auditable way to undo mutations by restoring the system to a known checkpoint, reducing risk when verifications fail or errors occur.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Checkpoint-based restoration: revert changes to a validated state with provenance.
  • Auditability: maintain an evidence trail of what was changed and why.
  • Scoped recovery: restore only the intended files or state when required.

Quick Start

Command a rollback to a valid checkpoint and verify the restoration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I revert system state to a known checkpoint after a failed mutation?

To revert system state to a known checkpoint, you command a rollback that restores the system to a previously captured checkpoint. This action enforces checkpoint usage and verifies the post-rollback state matches the checkpoint.

What is the best way to safely undo file mutations when verification fails?

The best way to safely undo file mutations when verification fails is checkpoint-based restoration. It reverts changes to a validated state with provenance, ensuring scoped recovery for only the intended files.

How does a rollback maintain an audit trail for system state changes?

A rollback maintains an audit trail by documenting evidence of what was changed and why. This ensures auditability by maintaining an evidence trail of the restoration process following the CAVR pattern.

Can I restore only specific files or state instead of rolling back the entire system?

Yes, you can restore only the intended files or state when required. The rollback mechanism supports scoped recovery, allowing targeted restoration to a validated checkpoint without affecting unaffected areas.

When should I trigger a system rollback instead of attempting manual fixes?

You should trigger a system rollback during verification failures, errors, or explicit undo requests. It provides a safe, auditable way to reduce risk by restoring the system to a known checkpoint rather than attempting manual fixes.

Does rollback verify the system state matches the checkpoint after restoration?

Yes, rollback verifies the post-rollback state matches the checkpoint. It enforces checkpoint usage and explicitly validates the restored state to ensure the mutation was completely and safely undone with documented evidence.
