Revision Vault
Know which file is approved, installed, and preserved.
Keep every controlled revision immutable, verify its checksum, and use explicit lifecycle states instead of filenames such as final_final.
Immutable history
A new binary creates a new revision; normal workflows never replace the evidence behind an earlier revision.
Meaningful states
Tested, Approved, Installed, Golden Copy, and As-Built describe distinct engineering facts with guarded transitions.
Verified storage
Private transfers reserve quota, verify checksum at remote storage, and never report success before the file is available.
