Chronicle Audit Model

Status: draft
Version: 0.1.0

Purpose

Define the canonical control-repo language for Meridian Chronicle historical reconstruction, sequence-bounded replay, drift comparison, and audit-ready views over Meridian Index and Meridian Proof.

Chronicle model

  • aggregate Chronicle views expose an ordered timeline, reconstructed state, current projected state, and a drift verdict for one replayable aggregate
  • instrument Chronicle views widen the history scope to include instrument lifecycle, policy, and settlement activity that references one instrument id
  • audit Chronicle views pair replay and drift data with related evidence ids and bundle readiness from Meridian Proof
  • replayable Chronicle state reconstructs from existing stored events and does not append new Chronicle events in this runtime

Core records

  • aggregate Chronicle view
  • instrument Chronicle view
  • audit Chronicle view
  • drift verdict
  • requested sequence boundary

Required Chronicle references

  • aggregate id
  • instrument id
  • sequence
  • timeline event
  • reconstructed state
  • current state
  • evidence id
  • bundle id

Current runtime boundary

  • Meridian Chronicle is read-only in the current reference runtime
  • Meridian Gateway currently exposes aggregate, instrument, and audit Chronicle routes only
  • cryptographic consistency proofs, anomaly detection, GraphQL exposure, and regulator export generation remain outside this Phase M surface
