The CorrigibilityGate's integrity verification mode. Detects state corruption, counter tampering, and service degradation.

When to Use

What It Checks

Monotonic counters — event counts should only increase. A decrease signals data loss or tampering.
Service health — state backend is responding to pings.
Evidence operational — evidence store can be queried.

The integrity check reads integrity:* keys from the state backend:

Without a state backend, integrity checks are skipped (passes with "skipped" message).
