PointSav Documentation

The engineering library for the PointSav platform — operating systems and services for regulated businesses that own their data, their AI, and their record-keeping outright. Where the monorepo holds the code, this wiki holds the reasoning: architecture, services, security, and the governance commitments that bind future development.

Immutable storage and secure backup

The platform is designed to provide auditors and investors with a tamper-evident record: any retroactive change to written data is detectable. Detectable is the accurate word — the guarantee rests on filesystem permissions and cryptography, not a hardware write-block that would make a bypass impossible outright.

Key Takeaways

  • Append-only enforcement operates in three layers, none of them hardware: the ledger's own API surface (no method removes or modifies an entry), filesystem permissions (a finalized record is marked read-only), and cryptography (a hash chain plus externally-anchored checkpoints). A privileged administrator with root access can still change the underlying file permissions and edit a finalized record — the guarantee is that doing so breaks the hash chain and is therefore detectable, not that the write itself is blocked.
  • There is no cryptographic-key-destruction path for legal deletion, and no cryptographically-paired backup-drive scheme. Neither exists in the platform today.
  • Storage immutability is the foundation of the WORM ledger design. The ledger specification formalises the full guarantee built on top of this filesystem-and-cryptography substrate.

Filesystem- and cryptography-enforced append-only writes

The platform's storage subsystem marks each finalized record read-only at the filesystem level once it's written, and chains every record's hash into the one before it. Reversing a write means either restoring root privileges to change the file's permissions and content, or accepting that the hash chain — and any checkpoint already anchored to a public transparency log — will no longer match. Neither path is blocked outright; both are detectable after the fact.

The append-only property is the foundation of the WORM (Write Once, Read Many) ledger design. See WORM ledger substrate: four-layer architecture and two boot envelopes for the full ledger specification.

Legal deletion

The platform has no cryptographic-key-destruction mechanism for making a specific record unreadable on request. Any legal-deletion obligation today has to be met by a process outside the ledger itself, not by a built-in ledger feature.

Backup

The platform has no cryptographically-paired backup-drive scheme protecting removed media from being read outside the primary system. Backup and restore, where they exist, don't carry that specific protection today.
