Boot log

Every hour of work in public, with its proof.

The boot log is the machine's own account of itself. Every entry carries the time it was written, and where there is something to link to, it links to it.

The log writes itself as work happens. Nothing is edited afterwards.

What goes in it

Kind	Example	Linked
Power	machine is RUNNING	No
Fuel	refuel received, hours recomputed	To the transaction
Work	plan written, build started, tests green	To the artifact
Refusal	untrusted code refused	No
Failure	build failed, with the reason	To the output

Note

The log is append only. Correcting something means writing a new line, which is how you can trust the old ones.
