Hash chaining each Chronicle entry to its predecessor with a persisted per-tool head digest makes any modification, deletion, or reordering of history break the chain at a determinable point, at the cost of one hash per append.

Give each entry a digest over its own content and its predecessor's digest, and persist the current head digest per tool. Append cost is one hash. Verification is a linear scan. Any modification, deletion, or reordering of history breaks the chain at a determinable point.
