Compresses a finished case-lead store into one archive, and restores it.
What it holds
python3 _tools/lead_archive.py archive <sub>,
restore <sub> and archive-all. Stores
live at _lead_sessions/<sub>-gpt56-calibration-v1.
archive refuses while RUNNING.json exists,
writes an ARCHIVE.json marker, packs the store with
bsdtar and zstd -6, test-extracts it and
compares every file, writes the archive's sha256 and size into the
room's STATE.json, then deletes the live store.
restore checks the archive's sha256 against
STATE.json, extracts it, rewrites the paths in
STORE.json and state/runtime.json to the new
location, records lead_store in STATE.json,
and deletes the archive. Both require STORE.json,
HEAD.json and state/lead.json inside the
archive.
Who writes it, and when
The yard's author. The sources do not say who runs it; the armenia
STATE.json notes a compression on 2026-09-09 "after work
ended".
Why it exists
Its docstring: "Archive and restore complete case-lead stores one at a time." The archive keeps the store forkable ("Archive is missing fork state" is its refusal).
Where
_tools/lead_archive.py.
It imports checkpoints, which is not among these
sources.
