Raw Blame History

Scope

Established

Founding intent, draft v0.1 specification, threat/acceptance model, owner boundaries, registration and a Python reference authority/client with local tests. A private systemd deployment on railiance01 was recorded on 2026-09-15. That historical receipt does not close native recovery, measured policy or consumer adoption gates.

Planned v0.1

One monitored UTC authority on railiance01; authenticated fresh sample exchange; process-local monotonic clock with uncertainty and explicit unusable states; append-only timestamp attribution; one explicitly reviewed consumer pilot.

Deferred live work

Distributed authority consensus, active/active failover, public NTP/NTS service, long offline holdover and additional language clients are deferred beyond v0.1 by the completed RCLK-WP-0004-T04 scope review. No high-availability, external timestamp notarization or production-security adoption claim is made by the single-host pilot.

Authority boundary

The local specification proposes a contract. RCLK-WP-0002 owns cross-repository review before its security use. RCLK-WP-0003 owns reference implementation and RCLK-WP-0004 owns admitted deployment and consumer evidence. Statehub indexes source records; it is not a time source. Forgejo hosts records, not a UTC oracle.

RCLK-WP-0005 explicitly owns IaC setup, host discipline, authority packaging, bootstrap sequencing, native deployment and operational handoff. Bootstrap calls owner automation; ongoing configuration remains in S1 and workload owners.
