# HappyX JSON Rollback Retention Dry Run

Updated: 2026-05-22T23:07:14.041Z

## Purpose

This dry run defines operator-visible rollback snapshot metadata, applies a retention policy and verifies restore-command preflight behavior without enabling production restore.

## Retention Policy

- Keep newest snapshots: 3
- Maximum age hours: 24
- Selection rule: explicit kept snapshot id required
- Restore mode: authenticated restore command remains disabled until a later guarded implementation

## Snapshot Manifest

| Snapshot | Age hours | Action | Reason | Tasks | Agent runs | Fingerprint |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| snapshot-01 | 0 | keep | within-policy | 70 | 19 | 5c7077187295dc74 |
| snapshot-02 | 1 | keep | within-policy | 70 | 19 | be2888de590588dd |
| snapshot-03 | 2 | keep | within-policy | 70 | 19 | bd99efd58a7b68f8 |
| snapshot-04 | 26 | prune | outside-retention-policy | 70 | 19 | ada95b1b6577e9af |

## Restore Preflight Checks

- Explicit selection required: pass
- Selected candidate retained: pass
- Format supported: pass
- Fingerprint present: pass
- Missing snapshot blocked: pass
- Pruned snapshot blocked: pass
- Raw export not published: pass
- Restore command disabled: pass

## Decision

Rollback retention metadata and restore-command preflight checks are ready for the next guarded implementation step.

## Follow-up

- Implement authenticated restore only after explicit snapshot selection, fingerprint confirmation and pre-restore backup are in place.
- Keep the public report limited to metadata, counts and short fingerprints.
- Continue running public verification before any storage or rollback command is enabled.
