Git Archive

Your Complete Message History, Version-Controlled

Every message, file reservation, and agent profile is automatically committed to a Git repository, providing an immutable audit trail with cryptographic integrity. Access it via standard Git tools or explore it right here in the UI.

How Does Storage Work?

SQLite Database

  • For live operations: Fast message queries, search, filtering
  • Powers your inbox: Real-time message delivery and threading
  • Mutable: Can be edited or deleted by administrators

Git Archive

  • For audit trail: Immutable, tamper-proof record
  • Complete history: Browse changes over time
  • Portable: Clone, backup with standard Git tools

Think of it like this: The database is your "working copy" for day-to-day operations, while the Git archive is your "permanent record" for compliance, auditing, and forensic analysis. Every message exists in BOTH places.
