AutoCore Restore Authorization and Recovery
Sets the destructive restore gate, migration reconciliation, and reindex boundary.
Database restore is destructive and requires explicit operator authorization. The restore script confirms the intended database unless forced, reconciles migrations, and reindexes derived search state; production approval remains mandatory.
Release candidate source
This article reflects the audited AutoCore source revision 7a504f6e430c16d4fcb03ebdea3cc3fb7816df60 and immutable release-candidate tag v1.0.0-rc.1 at 9edfb109f44cc80385784c694b96392cfc04e70f. Configuration and external provider behavior remain deployment-dependent.
Source boundary
| Control | Source-verified behavior |
|---|---|
| Gate | Confirm target environment, database identity, backup checksum, and change authorization before restore. |
| Restore | Use the approved restore procedure and preserve pre-restore evidence for rollback analysis. |
| Migrations | Reconcile schema state after restore before starting normal traffic. |
| Reindex | Rebuild derived search only after authoritative data and application schema are verified. |
| Closeout | Verify health, auth, legal, consent, payments, media, and audit behavior before reopening traffic. |
High-risk operation
Use explicit authorization, a written reason, a confirmation gate, and post-action verification. Documentation does not grant permission to change a deployment.
Operational controls
Use the smallest verified control for the task. Keep provider, host, legal, and operator responsibilities separate from application behavior. When a control is not implemented or not verified, leave it disabled or mark it as a limitation.
Verification
Verify the route, relevant API or configuration state, negative path, audit/evidence result, and public effect before closing the task. Record unknown or configuration-dependent behavior as a limitation.
