Application data

By default, Motus writes .motus/ledger.db at the current Git root. Outside Git, it uses the current directory. You can select another state directory.

Run records contain selected metadata: identifiers, timestamps, executable name, argument count, Git state, output counts, exit status, and outcome. They do not contain command argument values, stdin, raw output, environment variables, source files, prompts, or transcripts.

Findings and closure notes contain the text you submit.

Your state directory

SQLite may temporarily create ledger.db-journal beside ledger.db during a write. Add .motus/ to .gitignore when the default state should remain outside version control. Anyone who can read the state directory or its backups can read the findings stored there.

Finding and closure input files remain where you saved them. Ignoring .motus/ does not exclude a finding.txt or other file stored elsewhere. Review those files before committing or sharing them.

If you place the state directory in shared or synchronized storage, that system's privacy and retention rules apply. To remove Motus state, stop processes using it and delete the entire state directory and any backups you control.

Selected exchange

The separate registered Alpha demonstrates deliberate sharing of selected work. The packet goes directly to its recipient; the Transparency Service receives a signed statement and returns a receipt. The producer’s full local ledger is not sent to that service.
