Studio follows the platform rename: product branding F∆I -> Ch∆In in UI strings, command examples fai -> chain, and — critically — the spawned hub binary path ~/.fai/bin/fai -> ~/.fai/bin/chain so Studio launches the renamed binary. The fai_* Dart identifiers (FaiLog, widget files, the generated SDK) stay = vendor/internal namespace. flutter analyze: no issues. Signed-off-by: flemming-it <stefan.a.flemming@googlemail.com>

Tamper-evident audit log
Every action the hub takes goes into one append-only event log. Module installs, flow runs, approval decisions, channel switches, daemon restarts — all recorded with the same shape.
What an event looks like
timestamp: 2026-05-08T14:32:11Z
event_id: ev_01H...
event_type: flow.completed
flow_name: extract-summarize
flow_execution: fe_01H...
duration_ms: 1240
module_name: text.summarize
module_version: 0.1.0
detail: { engine: "ollama", model_name: "gemma3:4b",
model_digest: "sha256:..." }
prev_event_sha256: 6f4e...8b5f
The prev_event_sha256 field is the key. Every new event
hashes its content together with the previous event's hash. To
falsify event N, an attacker would need to rewrite every event
from N+1 onwards — and the chain head would no longer match
what the operator's last verification recorded.
What "WORM-1" means
WORM-1 is our first WORM (write-once-read-many) tier:
- Append-only: the hub never deletes individual events.
The CLI / RPC has a single batch operation,
clear_event_log, which wipes the channel and seeds achain.resetmarker carrying reviewer + reason. Refused on beta / production channels. - Tamper-evident: the chain reveals any retroactive edit.
Verification runs end-to-end on every Doctor-page load and
via
chain admin verify-events. - Self-contained: SQLite + chain hash is enough; no external WORM sink needed.
WORM-2 (Linux append-only file attribute) and WORM-3 (external WORM sink) are roadmap items, not yet shipped.
What you'll see in this app
- Doctor → Event log: live "chain intact" / "tamper detected" indicator with verified-event count. Click "Verify now" for an explicit re-check.
- Audit page: live stream of recent events with filter chips (flow / step / module). Click any row to see the full event JSON.
- Doctor → Daemon files → Audit-DB: reveals the SQLite file in your file manager.
Reading the chain by hand
If you want to verify outside Studio:
chain admin verify-events
# Prints "Hash chain intact: N events verified" or names the
# first event whose hash mismatches.
The chain is the source of truth — every other audit-related piece of UI in Studio reads from it.
