`service-fs` provides the per-tenant Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) immutable ledger that serves as the durable backbone for all Ring 1 boundary-ingest services. By enforcing a strict append-only invariant through cryptographic hash-chaining and structural isolation, the platform ensures that identity, communications, and document records remain tamper-evident and permanently accessible.

## Architectural Integration
## Architectural integration

The WORM ledger sits at the critical boundary between the per-tenant data plane and the multi-tenant knowledge plane. Every ingest service—including `service-people` and `service-email`—writes through this substrate, while Ring 2 services access data via cursor-paged MCP queries.

* **Current Posture:** Isolation is achieved through separate daemon processes per tenant `moduleId` and rigorous filesystem permissioning.
* **Intended Trajectory:** Migration to seL4 microkernel-level capability enforcement is planned to provide formally verified tenant isolation.

* **Format:** Standardized **C2SP tlog-tiles** (matching RFC 9162 v2 / Rekor v2) ensure 100-year readability.

## Regulatory Compliance and Durability
## Regulatory compliance and durability

The design is engineered to align with SEC Rule 17a-4(f) WORM requirements and EU eIDAS qualified preservation standards. By adopting the plain-text C2SP tile format, the platform guarantees that a forensic analyst in the year 2126 could decode the storage using only basic Unix utilities and a SHA-256 implementation.

## Cross-Target Synthesis
## Cross-target synthesis

The platform’s implementation is unique in its dual-target Rust strategy, allowing the same binary to serve as a Linux daemon today and an seL4 unikernel tomorrow. This ensures that the storage substrate is portable from a virtual machine to a future ToteboxOS hardware appliance without a core rewrite.
