Managing Storage

Arbitraitor stores all inspected artifacts in a content-addressed store (CAS) keyed by SHA-256.

List stored artifacts

arbitraitor store list

Prints each artifact’s digest prefix, byte size, and lock status.

Inspect a specific artifact

arbitraitor store inspect <sha256>

Prints the full metadata entry as JSON, including source URL, content type, retention mode, and lock state.

Garbage collection

Remove old or expired artifacts from the store:

# Collect all unlocked, non-forensic artifacts
arbitraitor store gc

# Only collect artifacts older than 30 days
arbitraitor store gc --max-age-days 30

GC preserves:

• Locked artifacts currently in use by an active operation.
• Forensic artifacts explicitly marked for indefinite retention.

Stability: Unstable. Verified against commit <sha>.
