kaal:claim:7314479-031

The Chronicle at commit 2d920ce is append-only structurally but not tamper-evident: any process with filesystem access can rewrite or truncate history, and entries carry no digest, no chaining to a predecessor, and no periodic root.

Source quote, verbatim
It is not tamper-evident. The Chronicle is a plain JSONL file in the user's configuration directory. Any process with filesystem access, including a compromised host application or the user, can rewrite or truncate history, and nothing in the record would reveal it. Entries carry no digest, no chaining to a predecessor, and no periodic root.
