TraceFold Reversibility Gate: 10,373 Mutations, 600/600 Tamper Detection

Description and use

TraceFold enables safe file mutation rollback, stores signed receipts, and detects tampering. In a test of 10,373 mutations, all succeeded and 600/600 tampering was detected.

Problem

Ensuring reversible file mutations with tamper‑proof receipts in a CI/CD environment.

Outcome

10,373 mutations processed with 100% success; 600/600 tamper detection; 5,185 zero‑byte deletes and 5,188 content writes; 5,932 bytes per mutation storage; 0 false negatives.

Workflow

• 1. Submit mutation via gx
• 2. Plan and verify precondition
• 3. Commit if precondition holds
• 4. Write signed receipt with inverse_delta
• 5. Checkpoint state
• 6. Offline receipt verification
• 7. Undo via inverse_delta if needed

Evidence

Across all 10,373 mutations, every stage of the six process cycle returned exit code 0
