Binary Drive

Binary Drive is a local-first digital storage and integrity system for managing
binary objects, identifiers, hashes, certificates, and verification records.

Purpose

Binary Drive provides a structured local environment for storing and verifying
digital objects while maintaining separation between application source code,
stored binary objects, local database state, repair artifacts, and verification
records.

Core Principles

• Local-first operation
• Content-addressed object storage
• Deterministic integrity verification
• Explicit provenance
• Separation of source code from runtime state
• Auditable verification records

Repository Boundary

This repository contains the Binary Drive application source, repair-agent
source, and automated test suite.

Local runtime databases, content-addressed binary objects, repair backups,
diagnostic reports, Python cache files, and local backup files are intentionally
excluded from version control.

Those excluded files may exist in a local Binary Drive installation and are
operational state rather than public source.
