Check the deed chain

GET
/v1/ledger/check
curl --request GET \
  --url http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/ledger/check \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Deedglass-Version: 2026-10-01'

Checks every deed in the range in seq order against this server’s own seal keys: hashes, seals, links and seq continuity. A broken chain is a 200 result with status: broken and the first break, not an error. The check stops after 30 s or 2,000,000 deeds with status: incomplete and next_from_seq. Keep head somewhere outside Deedglass: it is how a deletion from the end of the chain becomes visible. Requires deeds:read.

message

One or more calm sentences with the next step.

The request field, query parameter or header the error is about.

doc_url

string format: uri
diagnostics

On policy_invalid only. Each problem with its line, code and hint.

Array<object>

One finding about a policy file, with its position and the next step. Codes are stable and listed in docs/POLICY_ERRORS.md. In the policy_invalid error envelope each diagnostic also carries object: policy_diagnostic. The full PolicyDiagnostic schema is in openapi.yaml.

object
action

One agent action. Its sections mirror the deed’s. status is the one field an agent needs; state is the exact lifecycle state (docs/GATE.md). The Gate’s own responses (POST /v1/actions and its result report) add execution.result and witness.reasons; lists leave both out. The full Action schema is in openapi.yaml.

object
checks

On undo_unavailable only. Every check of the undo, each with its fix. Additive (S23).

Array<object>

One of the twelve safety checks (S23 §3.3). Available means no check failed. The full UndoCheck schema is in openapi.yaml.
