skarbiec verify-chain

Invocation#

skarbiec verify-chain [--tail <N>]

Purpose#

Verify full audit linkage and selected entry digests without stopping at the first fault.

Required inputs and options#

• No positional input. --tail N limits digest recomputation to the newest positive N entries; linkage always covers the whole journal.

Output and state effects#

• Prints journal path, counts, epochs, intact, broken_at, and every linkage/digest/epoch fault. It is read-only.

Refusals#

• Refuses a non-whole or zero --tail and reports every detected fault instead of declaring a partial scan intact.
