+ # Managed Ghidra runtime
2
+
3
+ Use `ghidra install` for a complete compatible installation. Node 24+ is the bootstrap dependency;
4
+ no existing Java, Ghidra, Homebrew, Gradle, compiler or Python MCP bridge is required. Factory
5
+ profiles, permissions and OS secret storage remain in use. Follow the project's tool rules when
6
+ it specifies an external installation or server.
7
+
8
+ ```sh
9
+ insight-cli profile create local
10
+ insight-cli --profile local permissions grant Update
11
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra install
12
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra status
13
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra open ./client.exe --session new --json
14
+ ```
15
+
16
+ `download` caches the complete pinned Ghidra/JDK archives, without selecting or starting a runtime.
17
+ `install` uses that cache or downloads missing archives, unpacks to a new stage, checks JDK 21 and
18
+ Ghidra 12.1.2, decompiles a known x86 function and starts a disposable local Ghidra Server. The
19
+ server probe authenticates its identity and reader/publisher permissions. Selection changes only
20
+ after all checks pass. The bridge and helper sources come from the version-matched npm package.
21
+ A failed install preserves its stage/diagnostics and the old selection. Retrying uses a fresh stage;
22
+ completed cached archives are reused. A later install/doctor/uninstall authenticates and stops
23
+ any leftover disposable probe server before proceeding; an unverified live identity blocks recovery. Interrupted partial downloads are never used as complete files.
24
+
25
+ On Windows, long Ghidra Java classpaths use an owned per-execution argument file, retained with
26
+ the process diagnostics. `javac` files use UTF-8; `java` launcher files use the Windows system
27
+ code page. Java 21's launcher still requires paths representable in that code page. Unmappable
28
+ characters fail before launch rather than selecting different files through lossy conversion.
29
+
30
+ `status` without scope is passive: selection, paths, missing components, installations, retained
31
+ stages, recorded checks and live process receipts. It works before installation. It does not start
32
+ Java or create a research workspace. `status --session S --target T` retains the scoped live health
33
+ check. `server status` also works without an installed runtime and explains missing prerequisites.
34
+ `doctor` explicitly runs disposable native decompiler/server probes and checks macOS LLDB Python.
35
+ It never imports a research target or publishes research changes. Readiness recorded by a doctor
36
+ run includes its runtime fingerprint; status identifies whether that record matches the selection.
37
+
38
+ ## Local archives and external installations
39
+
40
+ ```sh
41
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra download
42
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra install --offline
43
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra install --archive ./ghidra.zip
44
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra install --archive ./ghidra.zip \
45
+ --java-archive ./jdk.tar.gz --debugger-archive ./lldb-python.tar.gz --offline
46
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra install --executable /tools/ghidra/ghidraRun
47
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra install --executable /tools/ghidra \
48
+ --java /tools/jdk/bin/java --debugger-archive ./lldb-python.tar.gz --offline
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ `--executable` accepts the actual Ghidra launcher (`ghidraRun[.bat]`, or
52
+ `support/analyzeHeadless[.bat]`) or installation directory. It needs the complete compatible
53
+ installation, including host native components. A target EXE is not a Ghidra launcher.
54
+ Common Homebrew launcher wrappers are resolved through the adjacent complete `libexec` tree.
55
+ The external Ghidra tree is never modified or deleted. Java is delivered automatically unless
56
+ `--java` or `--java-archive` is supplied. Legacy profile `java`/`ghidraHome` configuration still works
57
+ when no explicit selection exists; an explicit selection takes precedence and never silently
58
+ falls back to profile paths after failure or uninstall.
59
+
60
+ Local archives are caller-selected inputs, consumed into owned hash-addressed copies before
61
+ extraction so later source edits cannot change the installed bytes. Optional `--archive-sha256` and
62
+ `--java-archive-sha256` and `--debugger-archive-sha256` check the expected bytes; the actual digests are recorded in the installation
63
+ identity. `--offline` prohibits network acquisition: provide/cache every required archive. On macOS,
64
+ an official Ghidra zip also needs the pinned prebuilt native archive in cache. The managed macOS
65
+ distribution already includes these natives. Executable modes are preserved; paths, links and
66
+ expanded sizes are checked during portable Node extraction. Downloads use exact assets retained
67
+ in `iXab3r/insight-cli` GitHub Releases, with hashes and sizes pinned in the installed package.
68
+ There is no runtime upstream/latest fallback; supplied archives and verified cache support offline use.
69
+ No external unzip, tar or Python executable is needed for extraction.
70
+
71
+ ## Server, process and data ownership
72
+
73
+ The Ghidra distribution includes Ghidra Server. It uses the selected JDK and immutable tool code;
74
+ its repository, certificates, credentials and process settings are separate profile data.
75
+ Ordinary `open` starts it automatically. `server start` explicitly starts/enables it, and
76
+ `server stop` stops the identified owned server after all contexts are closed. It refuses to stop
77
+ a server under live clients. A later open can start it again; explicit `disconnect` disables shared
78
+ operations until `connect`/`start`. `server connect/disconnect` retain their connection-management API.
79
+ An external server remains configured through profile server/repository/account fields and Factory
80
+ secrets; `server stop` cannot stop that external service.
81
+
82
+ Code/cache/installation receipts live under configured [analysis storage](storage.md) `runtime/`; research remains under
83
+ `workspace/`, and saved files under `materials/`. One selected immutable installation serves many
84
+ isolated JVM contexts; each has its own projects, home, settings, cache/temp and authenticated
85
+ endpoint. No per-agent copy of the Ghidra code distribution is required. This is process and data
86
+ isolation; it does not restrict arbitrary user scripts to an OS security sandbox.
87
+
88
+ Close scoped contexts and stop the owned server before selecting/reinstalling/removing a runtime.
89
+ A live receipt conservatively blocks these operations; it never authorizes killing a PID.
90
+ Download and doctor can run without switching the current runtime. Runtime commands serialize
91
+ within the Factory owner. Changing a selected runtime invalidates cached backend handles, without
92
+ removing saved research. There is no automatic version migration or floating upstream upgrade.
93
+
94
+ ```sh
95
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra close --session S --target T
96
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra server stop
97
+ insight-cli --profile local permissions grant Destructive
98
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra uninstall
99
+ # Optional cache deletion; research and external installations remain preserved:
100
+ insight-cli --profile local ghidra uninstall --purge-cache
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ Uninstall removes only selected owned installation files. It preserves the selection as an
104
+ uninstalled receipt, so later research reports a missing runtime instead of changing bindings.
105
+ Archives remain reusable unless `--purge-cache` is selected. It removes recorded archives for
106
+ this installation, preserving other tools' cache and unrecorded legacy entries. Reinstalling the same archives restores
107
+ the same runtime identity. Sessions, private snapshots, unresolved publication journals, server
108
+ repositories and artifacts survive. Uninstall does not resolve an uncertain merge or replay it.
109
+
110
+ ## Process inventory and recovery
111
+
112
+ ```sh
113
+ insight-cli --profile local tools processes --tool ghidra
114
+ insight-cli --profile local tools processes show <process-id>
115
+ insight-cli --profile local tools processes stop <process-id>
116
+ insight-cli --profile local tools processes kill <process-id>
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ These IDs describe executions, not new research selectors. Context records include the existing
120
+ session/target; server, GUI, debugger and helper roles remain separate. `stop` saves a selected
121
+ Ghidra context through its ordinary close path. Stopping a server requires closed contexts.
122
+ `kill` requires Destructive and explicitly interrupts verified owned work; it does not prove a
123
+ merge/save completed. Live debugger cleanup goes through the owning GUI so inferior termination
124
+ can be verified. Research and unknown journals are retained.
125
+
126
+ After an owner crash, inventory reconnects to authenticated owned endpoints without re-executing
127
+ research. macOS process birth times alone cannot prove recovered ownership; an ambiguous process
128
+ stays `unverified` and is not signalled. Original child handles and authenticated tool identities
129
+ provide the supported stop/kill authority. This is lifecycle management, not an OS security sandbox.
130
+
131
+ ## Sources and host boundary
132
+
133
+ The catalog pins Ghidra 12.1.2 and Temurin JDK 21.0.11+10. macOS uses public Homebrew-built Ghidra
134
+ bottles with native components (macOS 14+, ARM64 or x64); no installed Homebrew is used. Linux x64
135
+ and Windows x64 use the official Ghidra zip and Temurin archive. The installed `runtime/tool-catalog.json` pins mirror assets; repository
136
+ `scripts/tool-distributions/` recipes retain upstream provenance. Published tool releases include
137
+ original licenses/notices and required source/build companions, independent of CLI releases.
138
+ Unsupported platforms fail explicitly and may use compatible external profile paths. Native
139
+ acceptance for this delivery is macOS ARM64; catalog availability is not Windows/Linux native proof.
140
+
141
+ The host provides Node/npm, OS frameworks, display/keychain access and debugger authorization.
142
+ macOS LLDB and its embedded Python come from Apple's developer tools; they are OS prerequisites,
143
+ not downloaded third-party Python dependencies. `doctor` reports a missing host debugger as a partial
144
+ failure even when static analysis/server pass. No root installation, developer-tools installer,
145
+ Gatekeeper disabling, shell-profile edit or global Java/Python selection is performed. Ghidra GUI
146
+ agents receive private copies of the Ghidra SDK's pinned debugger Python wheels.
147
+
148
+ ## Managed debugger dependency
149
+
150
+ On macOS 15+ ARM64, download/install also prepares pinned LLDB 23.1.3 with its own
151
+ Python 3.15 and native library closure. It is a private Ghidra dependency; the separate
152
+ `insight-cli lldb` application retains its own installation. `--debugger-archive` supplies
153
+ the exact pinned debugger archive for offline installation, including an external Ghidra
154
+ selection. Status reports this dependency and doctor probes its actual Python interpreter.
155
+ GUI startup prepares it for legacy profiles as needed. The backend does not use Homebrew
156
+ or Python from Apple developer tools. OS debugger authorization is still a host prerequisite.
157
+
158
+ A GUI context pins the verified debugger receipt. Its supervisor verifies those code and
159
+ library bytes again before launching LLDB. Close contexts and stop the local server before
160
+ changing/removing the Ghidra runtime; uninstall removes this owned dependency while retaining
161
+ research and external installations. Existing running GUI contexts must be closed/reopened
162
+ to adopt a different backend. Other host debugger profiles retain their declared host requirements.

3
+ Retain the session/target returned by initial open. Continue the tuple through
4
+ `insight-cli ghidra open --session <id> --target <id> --json`. Saved private snapshots and
5
+ pending scalar comparisons persist independently of a backend process. Reopening preserves
6
+ private work; it does not silently receive a newer shared version.
7
+
8
+ First-import recovery uses the same scoped `ghidra open` or the original request ID/input.
9
+ Import/analysis writes a private snapshot and completion receipt before any initial publication.
10
+ If its worker is still running, continuation reports busy; wait and continue the same scope.
11
+ If that worker stopped before completing its receipt, continuation can repeat private analysis
12
+ from the immutable input while retaining previous attempts. A completed snapshot is reused.
13
+ Initial publication first creates a uniquely named staging object. A separate read-only process
14
+ verifies its complete saved DB buffers before a conditional server move to the absent canonical
15
+ path. It never checks in a new version of an existing canonical item. Lost promotion replies
16
+ are reconciled against the retained identity, one-version history and complete saved buffers.
17
+ Interrupted staging objects remain retained and can be replaced by another private stage;
18
+ they are not adopted as the canonical model. Foreign or mismatched canonical state stays blocked.
19
+ An older direct create that is provably owned and left only an incomplete `<Recovered>` entry
20
+ can be moved aside without deletion; its bytes and original receipt remain preserved.
21
+
22
+ Legacy first-import failures are also recoverable in the original profile. Continuation first
23
+ establishes that the old owned bootstrap worker has ended, then uses an authoritative repository
24
+ probe. An absent canonical item permits private preparation; an existing first version requires
25
+ independent readback. The old project, intent and original session/target remain preserved.
26
+
27
+ If a response was lost, inspect `sessions status <session> --target <target>`. Never infer
28
+ `applied` from a connection failure. A changing command's optional request ID binds one effective
29
+ intent inside the profile. Repeating the same ID/input retrieves its recorded outcome or
30
+ unresolved state; changing input under that ID fails. Without an ID, calls are new intentions.
31
+
32
+ An unknown or partial effect retains its request intent, snapshots and native stage. Open the
33
+ same tuple to reconcile supported outcomes. A committed merge is verified against its recorded
34
+ server version and complete saved buffers through independent read authority; it is never
35
+ checked in again merely because its response was lost. Until verification succeeds, publication
36
+ for this shared target is blocked across sessions. Saved private work remains retained.
37
+
38
+ Scalar reconciliation observes and saves an already present effect; it does not execute the
39
+ setter again. Supported structural/function edits retain a candidate snapshot after an incomplete
40
+ response; continuation can verify every requested effect in that immutable snapshot and adopt it
41
+ without replay. If the complete result cannot be established, the candidate and previous saved
42
+ private view remain retained. An unproved program/script/external outcome remains unresolved. Preserve the profile
43
+ storage and credential store. Do not delete another session's project, stop a process by guessed
44
+ PID/port, or blindly repeat a script/external action to turn uncertainty into success.
45
+
46
+ The older prototype's `workers`, `findings`, `integrate` and batch `recover` commands are not the
47
+ public facade API. Its coordinator journals remain separate and are never silently migrated.
48
+
49
+ A lost UI navigation response can be verified from the live authenticated cursor without another
50
+ goto. If its original owned GUI process has exited, continuation reports the uncertain UI action
51
+ as disconnected and retains saved program work. It does not recreate the old cursor or re-enable
52
+ a previous prompt policy. Other unproved live UI effects remain retained until their outcome is
53
+ established or the original process is known to have ended.
54
+
55
+ ## Abandon an uncertain private program attempt
56
+
57
+ A post-mutation save timeout does not repeat the script or issue another save in the
58
+ error handler. Status exposes the original request identity and retained phase/budget.
59
+ Arbitrary script effects are never inferred from metadata or from an unverified DB.
60
+ After inspecting the retained attempt, explicitly stop only its verified owned worker
61
+ (`tools processes`, then `tools processes kill <process>` if required). Resume the
62
+ last acknowledged private snapshot with:
63
+
64
+ ```sh
65
+ insight-cli permissions grant Destructive
66
+ insight-cli ghidra abandon --session <session> --target <target> \
67
+ --request-id <original-request> --acknowledge-unknown-effects --json
68
+ insight-cli ghidra open --session <session> --target <target> --json
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ Abandon requires exactly one unresolved private program operation, an unchanged verified
72
+ previous snapshot/generation, a stopped original worker and no active publication or live
73
+ debugger. It retains the native project, candidate artifacts, original intent/execution and
74
+ previous diagnostic result. Its terminal request is `failed` / `state: abandoned` with
75
+ `outcome: unknown`; no effect is marked applied. Repeating abandonment retrieves the same
76
+ result. Earlier saved private edits remain pending. The original changing request ID cannot
77
+ execute again. Abandoning never undoes external effects or establishes what an arbitrary
78
+ script did; the acknowledgement explicitly accepts that uncertainty. Publication recovery,
79
+ initial import, UI and debugger attempts use their own protocols and cannot use this command.

+ bridge/Factory source checkout or Python MCP bridge. Packaged native helper sources compile
17
+ against the installed Ghidra/JDK.
18
+
19
+ Omitting `server` enables owned local startup. The facade creates profile storage, a private
20
+ repository and distinct read-only/publisher accounts with random credentials in Factory's secret
21
+ store. It manages isolated headless contexts and introduces GUI mode on demand.
22
+
23
+ For an external server profile, configure `server` (`ghidra://host:port`), `repository`,
24
+ `readerUser` and `publisherUser`. They are distinct accounts with actual read-only and write
25
+ permissions respectively. Store each password using `auth login --role reader|publisher
26
+ --password-stdin`. Passwords are stdin/secret-store values, never profile JSON or argv values.
27
+ Connecting does not transfer ownership of that external server or allow the facade to stop it.
28
+
29
+ Factory's Update permission is initially disabled. Enable it through `permissions grant Update`
30
+ in the selected profile before creating contexts or editing. Research scope is explicit; local
31
+ skill discovery and help require no authentication or native process startup.
32
+ Deletion and replacement commands also require `permissions grant Destructive`.
33
+
34
+ All target bytes, snapshots, journals, projects and process receipts derive from the selected
35
+ profile's AppData. Stop the owner through `ipc-server stop` before changing its code/runtime
36
+ configuration. Restoring a saved context preserves its private view. Server settings and initial
37
+ loader settings remain bound to the target/workspace, so changing those cannot silently replace
38
+ retained work. This revision conservatively protects retained profile research state from deletion.
39
+ Runtime identity covers installed Ghidra code, language/compiler data, native modules and Python
40
+ inputs together with JDK tools, modules and configuration. Generated Python caches are isolated.
41
+ Changing those runtime inputs requires stopping the old owner before continuing with the new build.
42
+
43
+ Native acceptance separates macOS GUI/LLDB workflows from selected headless Windows/Linux
44
+ SDK, Version Tracking and FID/BSim workflows. Native Windows/Linux debugger/GUI acceptance
45
+ remains deferred. The ordinary CI lane stays offline; disposable native CI is explicit.
46
+
47
+ On macOS 15+ ARM64, `ghidra install` delivers an owned LLDB/Python debugger backend;
48
+ OS debugger authorization remains required. Other host profiles need their supported debugger. Its
49
+ Ghidra Python dependencies are prepared from the installed SDK wheels into owned GUI storage.
50
+ `debuggerPython` optionally configures a Python-backed offer; `windbgDir` configures the Windows
51
+ debugger runtime directory when relevant. These are runtime profile settings, not research scope.
52
+
53
+ Archive exchange is opt-in through `archiveUrl`; its optional token uses Factory secrets.
54
+ See [archive](archive.md) for the service contract and submission recovery behavior.
55
+
56
+ ## Native operation budgets
57
+
58
+ Profile `initialImportSeconds` defaults to 3600 (1–86400 seconds); `saveSeconds`
59
+ defaults to 120 (1–3600 seconds). Configure them with `ghidra budgets set
60
+ --initial-import-seconds 7200 --save-seconds 300`; `ghidra budgets show` reads effective values.
61
+ This uses Factory ProfileStore without invalidating research or stopping native contexts.
62
+ Active requests retain their original budget. Generic `profile set` remains guarded for
63
+ profiles containing research; initial profile creation also accepts these fields. Both are execution policy, independent
64
+ of immutable target/load identity. Save and packed snapshot export use the save budget;
65
+ discovery and ordinary HTTP queries keep their 30-second budget. Each native request has
66
+ its own budget, not a total command deadline. Cancellation remains independent.
67
+
68
+ After an import timeout, wait for the original worker to end, raise its budget and continue
69
+ the original scope. Incomplete private analysis restarts; a completed receipt is reused.
70
+ A save timeout reports `phase: save`, the effective budget and `saveSeconds`. Inspect
71
+ `sessions status`; a native log or broken response stream cannot prove a saved snapshot.
72
+
73
+ ## Initial import and progress
74
+
75
+ New targets import **without automatic analysis**. Reuse existing selectors/projects before
76
+ opening another copy; `ghidra open --session <session> --target <target>` preserves its bound
77
+ load settings, including older analysis choices. `--no-analysis` makes the fast choice explicit;
78
+ `--analysis` opts into a full analysis only during the first import of a new target.
79
+ After a fast import, use scoped `ghidra analysis run` to process pending analysis, or
80
+ `ghidra analysis reanalyze` to deliberately queue full reanalysis. These are saved private
81
+ mutations; merge deliberately. For a narrow question prefer bounded function disassembly,
82
+ function creation and decompilation first; inspect help for the exact operation.
83
+
84
+ For long first opens, `ghidra progress --session <session> --target <target> --json`
85
+ reads retained progress without starting Java or repeating the operation. It reports the
86
+ current stage, elapsed time, heartbeat age and native task message/counters when available;
87
+ those counters belong to the current task, not the whole import. Human output also reports
88
+ progress through Factory; `--json` keeps one final JSON result on stdout and stays quiet.
89
+ If the execution host yields, keep its same running execution and inspect progress every
90
+ 5-10 seconds when useful; relay stage changes or meaningful stalls, and do other independent
91
+ work. Do not silently extend waits to minutes or start a second import. Until selectors are
92
+ returned, use the existing `sessions list/status` and `tools processes` inventory to locate the
93
+ reserved scope. A stale heartbeat, dead worker or unknown result is not completion: inspect
94
+ `sessions status` and recovery before continuing. Pre-upgrade workers have no progress record;
95
+ null progress means unavailable, never success. Progress is observational, not a completion receipt. This command tracks first open only;

+ # Analysis storage and migration
2
+
3
+ `storage show --json` reports effective profile storage, availability, active file/byte usage,
4
+ exact included trees and retained migration. The default is Factory profile AppData. No
5
+ checkout, environment or automatic disk fallback changes it. The non-secret setting is
6
+ `analysisDirectory` in Factory's profile (`profile show` also displays it). Use storage commands
7
+ to change it safely.
8
+
9
+ ```sh
10
+ insight-cli permissions grant Update
11
+ insight-cli storage show --json
12
+ insight-cli storage configure --directory "/mnt/analysis volume" --json
13
+ ```
14
+
15
+ `configure` requires no existing analysis entries. With existing data use `migrate`.
16
+ The directory is a **base**: the effective root appends `insight-cli/<profile>`, preserving
17
+ profile isolation. Choose an ordinary empty destination profile directory on a mounted local
18
+ filesystem. Spaces and Unicode are supported. Factory restricts the dedicated destination root to the
19
+ current user, including a Windows ACL; a filesystem that cannot apply this protection fails
20
+ before copying.
21
+
22
+ The complete `workspace`, `materials`, `temp` and `runtime` trees move: immutable inputs,
23
+ artifact/candidate snapshots, workspace SQLite DB/WAL, native private project/context DBs,
24
+ local Ghidra Server repositories, operation/publication/import journals, debugger traces,
25
+ process captures, exports, native helper compilation and verification working data.
26
+ **Runtime installations, acquisition caches, selections and process receipts move too**;
27
+ installation staging and activation must share a filesystem. External tool installations and
28
+ user-selected outputs outside these trees keep their locations.
29
+
30
+ Factory keeps profiles, permissions, IPC election/socket, migration-control metadata and
31
+ application logs in current-user AppData. Secrets stay in the OS keyring. Credential/profile
32
+ identities do not change. Updating/installing npm never migrates a profile automatically.
33
+
34
+ ## Move an existing profile
35
+
36
+ Finish changing commands, close native contexts, and stop this profile's owned server/tool
37
+ processes through ordinary CLI commands. Inspect `tools processes --json`. Unverified lifetimes
38
+ also block migration. Do not kill guessed PIDs or stop other profiles to make preflight pass.
39
+ Factory retains IPC ownership and command admission; other profiles can keep working.
40
+
41
+ ```sh
42
+ insight-cli storage migrate --directory "/mnt/analysis volume" --dry-run --json
43
+ insight-cli storage migrate --directory "/mnt/analysis volume" --json
44
+ insight-cli storage show --json
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ Dry-run checks separation, destination contents, access, conservative capacity and quiescence
48
+ without reserving/copying a migration. Source/destination/configuration roots cannot be equal
49
+ or nested. Destination symlink roots, escaping source links, special files, unresolved links
50
+ and inventories above one million entries or 128 directory levels are rejected. Internal
51
+ links retain their exact target strings. Preflight does not reserve space; concurrent disk use
52
+ can still cause a copy failure.
53
+
54
+ Migration durably reserves its journal, hashes stable source bytes, streams/syncs the copy,
55
+ independently hashes destination bytes and rechecks the source. Only then does it replace source
56
+ trees with permanent compatibility links and commit the Factory setting. Original trees are
57
+ renamed into `.storage-retained/<migration>` on their original volume. Copy/activation never
58
+ deletes them, including on failures. Existing IDs, requests, journals, candidate snapshots and
59
+ receipts retain exact bytes. Compatibility paths preserve old absolute references: do not remove
60
+ those links or their profile/source ancestors manually after migrating.
61
+
62
+ ## Interruptions, uncertainty and retention
63
+
64
+ ```sh
65
+ insight-cli storage resume --json
66
+ insight-cli storage rollback --json
67
+ ```
68
+
69
+ Ordinary research freezes during incomplete copy/activation/rollback/cleanup. `show` and Factory
70
+ profile inspection remain available. Resume verifies completed files, recopies an incomplete
71
+ file, rechecks capacity and finishes the retained transaction. Source and destination filesystem
72
+ anchor identities are bound durably. Missing/replaced volumes fail without creating a system-disk
73
+ fallback; mount the original volume before resuming.
74
+
75
+ Rollback restores retained source and the prior Factory setting. After activation it requires
76
+ an unchanged destination and a verified retained source. Native reopening or later findings can
77
+ make rollback unsafe, in which case it refuses and preserves both copies. Use forward migration
78
+ to another empty base after using the new location. A rolled-back destination remains for manual
79
+ inspection/removal and is never automatically adopted. Cleanup permanently disables rollback.
80
+
81
+ Unknown script/publication effects do **not** need abandonment before migrating a stopped
82
+ profile. Migration starts no worker, replays no script/check-in and marks no unknown outcome
83
+ applied. Inspect the original request after migrating; existing [recovery](recovery.md)
84
+ restrictions and independent readback requirements still apply.
85
+
86
+ After independent native reopen and saved-file readback, free retained source explicitly:
87
+
88
+ ```sh
89
+ insight-cli permissions grant Destructive
90
+ insight-cli storage cleanup --json
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ Cleanup verifies retained bytes, records irreversible intent, then deletes only that owned
94
+ backup. Interrupted cleanup continues through `storage resume`; rollback is already disabled.
95
+ Compatibility links, receipts and manifests remain. Clean or roll back the current migration
96
+ before starting another. This release provides no nonempty-destination adoption, reverse
97
+ synchronization, live-DB snapshotting or network-filesystem guarantees. POSIX directory fsync
98
+ is used. Windows has file fsync and rename/junction semantics; Node cannot fsync directories
99
+ there, and internal symlinks can require OS privileges.
