The Proof That Died With the Terminal

说明与用途

自动化收据生成确保了发布证明的持久性，消除了人工错误，并为成功和失败路径提供了回归测试。

问题

Publish scripts relied on manual console output to create proof receipts, causing proof loss when operators failed to pipe output to a file.

结果

Automated receipt generation guarantees proof persistence, eliminates operator error, and provides a regression test for both success and failure paths.

工作流

• 1. Invoke publish function that prints and stores output in a buffer.
• 2. On process exit (success, failure, or abort), a registered atexit hook writes the buffer to a receipt file stamped to the microsecond.
• 3. The receipt file includes HTTP result, article ID, and a unique timestamp.
• 4. Acceptance tests run the publisher with a forbidden token to trigger the red path; the receipt records the failure cause.
• 5. The receipt writer verifies the output directory exists, creating it if necessary.
• 6. The receipt catalog validates each receipt against the live API response to detect discrepancies.

证据

The proof file it was supposed to leave behind did not exist.

An atexit hook writes everything that was printed, from the same buffer, into a receipt file stamped to the microsecond.

The receipt promises a structural spec and a name contract stamped to the microsecond.
