Daily Bundle System

What It Is

A deterministic continuity bundle for controlled recovery.

The system emits a daily ZIP, sidecar manifest, latest manifest pointer, and cold-lane bootstrap handoff surface. Its job is to prove what the operating environment believed at the time of capture.

The manifest is an index and proof surface. It does not replace the source artifacts. Disk truth, determiners, Control Records, ledgers, and hashes remain the authority chain.

Authority

Deterministic, not simulated

Missing determiners halt the process. AI operators have no direct sensory access to host filesystems, so simulated verification is prohibited.

Boundary

Observed is not owned

Bolt, Secretary/Ollama, website hosting, Cloudflare, and other RetroFuse lanes may appear as observed host state. They are not Daily Bundle authority unless explicitly promoted by governance review.

Bootstrap

Cold-lane handoff is explicit

The `_BOOT\DAILY\PROJECT_BOOTSTRAP_LATEST\` surface is the authoritative cold-lane bootstrap handoff, not a duplicate output copy.

Determiners

Completeness is operational law

Script paths, folder roots, scheduled tasks, task actions, triggers, ports, and restart behavior must be declared.
Host identity must include CPU, GPU trust status, motherboard, BIOS, host UUID, Windows build, RAM, and disk topology.
Stale determiners invalidate cold-lane trust and require rebuild before release.
Hardware fields with unreliable platform data must be marked untrusted instead of normalized into false precision.

Halt Conditions

The system must halt rather than infer

`DETERMINERS_MISSING`
`AUTHORITY_CONFLICT`
Strict CR quality gate failure
Manifest generation failure
Bundle hash mismatch
Required authority artifact missing

Release Status

Daily Bundle is the first RetroFuse system being shaped for public release.

Current release work is focused on documentation, licensing presentation, install-path policy, and clean separation from adjacent RetroFuse product lanes.
