When a re-ingest produces a different document_root for an already-seen URI, both versions now coexist in the store. A 'supersedes' edge from the new doc to the prior one keeps the lineage addressable, and the ingest audit body records the supersedes link. Idempotent re-ingest is unchanged: identical bytes -> identical root -> no new doc, no supersedes edge. Three-version chains test that v3->v2 and v2->v1 edges form a walkable history. The old version stays queryable (its chunks may later be evicted to cold for storage savings while remaining provable). |

aborist
An arborist for trees and forests of cross-linked information.
Aborist ingests documents into a content-addressed, Merkle-committed store. Every
document carries a URI for backtrack and cross-link. Search hooks return hits with
declared audit modes (STRICT / HYBRID / VISUAL) so callers never overclaim
what a result actually proves.
Design
Aborist implements the runtime spec from Merkle-AGI v9.8 / Merkle Providence
Reverse RAG. The 8-dim admissibility key (source_root, question_hash,
model_profile_hash, conversation_hash, governance_policy_hash,
schema_version, canonicalization_version, chunking_version) plus
falsification state ensures cached records are never reused under drift.
Two layered document kinds:
- surface — diverse ingested content (full chunks, FTS-indexed)
- core — distilled records (haiku/equation/snippet) Merkle-signed back to
source surface roots via
derivations
Reversible eviction via chunk tier ∈ {hot, warm, cold}. Cold = leaf hash
- URI only; rehydratable from URI, identity verifiable via leaf hash.
Quick start
