Definition. Recovery, rollback, and version identity [ftip-00D7]
Let \(v_n\) identify the full committed harness configuration of Definition [ftip-00C6]. A rollback from version \(v_n\) to an earlier version \(v_j\), \(j<n\), restores the configuration and retained-state snapshot named by \(v_j\); a recovery may instead construct a new version \(v_{n+1}\) from audited events.
Version identity includes the artifact identifier, configuration, event-log prefix, and archive snapshot. Reusing a human-readable label while changing one of those fields is not the same version.
Prime Agent describes append-only history, versioned state, forks, and recovery [karten2026prime, Sections 2.1--2.2]. The displayed identity tuple specifies the information required for reproducible comparisons.
