What

A new schema describes a checkpoint 'chain': an array of entries, each with a generation number, worktree commit, sha256 hash, size, and a via field, validated so generation numbers strictly increase. The restore-state schema now carries an optional chain field, a new chained boolean, and a new readsResultEcho flag, alongside the existing attached and seedless flags.

Why

This lets Claude Code track and verify a sequence of checkpoint generations with hashes, giving restore operations a way to confirm the integrity and lineage of a chain of checkpoints.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say what readsResultEcho does or how the chain is used during an actual restore.
