Checkpoint -- route stash items, write log entry, update bundle, trigger projection, reset stash.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Save Route the stash, write the log, update the bundle, trigger projection. ## Pre-Save 1. Ask: "Anything else before I save?" 2. Scan back through conversation for missed stash items 3.

How to install
mdr add alivecontext/alive/alive-save@sha256:d7216d5bf61b8243The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
