LEP-6 - Storage-Truth Enforcement and Ticket-Driven Self-Healing

• Status: Approved

1. Executive Summary

LEP-6 upgrades Lumera’s storage integrity model in two linked ways:

1. storage challenges become the main storage-truth signal for audit enforcement
2. self-healing becomes ticket-deterioration-driven instead of proxy-watchlist-driven

The proposal keeps the good parts of the current design:

• deterministic challenger selection
• deterministic observer selection
• observer quorum
• deterministic self-healing orchestration
• quorum-gated persistence

But it fixes the parts that are currently too weak or too indirect:

• fixed early-byte challenge shape
• very limited challenge coverage relative to dataset size
• no forced distinction between recent ingestion and old retention
