Evidence Backup Coverage
Executive Summary
Core evidence backup and guardianship mirror coverage is substantially complete.
The three Bitcoin inscriptions remain canonical authority. The original Covenant of the Flaw contained a physical-evidence pointer whose public evidence layer was limited. The later Guardian Attestation inscription non-amendingly fortified the Covenant by pointing to a stronger verification archive. The six-hash digest manifest fixed both public and non-public evidence files cryptographically.
BTC BIP340 signature, ETH witness, and OTS Bitcoin timestamping strengthen the digest-manifest layer. Arweave, GitHub repository, and GitHub Releases now provide verified availability mirrors.
Remaining work is documentation-level relationship mapping and optional hardening, not urgent large-payload backup.

Note: GitHub release pages may show two additional source-code archives. Always distinguish custom evidence assets from GitHub-generated source zip/tar assets.
Flaw Covenant Evidence Evolution
- Original Covenant inscription provided canonical covenant text and an early physical-evidence pointer.
- The early public evidence layer was limited and not a complete forensic package.
- Guardian Attestation later fortified the Covenant without amending it.
- The six-hash digest manifest fixed public and non-public evidence files cryptographically.
- BTC signature, ETH witness, and OTS timestamping strengthened the manifest layer.
- Arweave and GitHub Releases now provide verified availability mirrors.
Chronicle / NFT Layer
The Chronicle ETH address and ASIMilestones NFT records are historical context and chronicle artifacts. They are part of the designated Chronicle layer, but they are not canonical authority.
The 175 NFT GitHub Release mirror is a verified availability mirror for Chronicle recovery records.
Arweave Documentation Mirrors
| Object | TXID | Status | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guardianship system docs v1 | I0xNBwbgaGsODjnK5ze25sOwV9V8i7FtKe-8upRoohw | PASS | Documentation mirror only; not canonical authority |
Final Determination
Core evidence backup coverage is substantially complete.
There are no urgent large-payload backup gaps currently identified. Remaining work is primarily documentation-level relationship mapping, periodic coverage audits, and optional hardening such as a self-contained OTS bundle v2.
