Workflow - Steps 8-9

Evidence attached. Checks passed. Hash computed. The commit is sealed.

After review, evidence window opens. Pre-finalization checks verify balance and evidence. Hash is computed.

After finalization.

Ledger rows carry commit_id

Every ledger row references the commit.

Period lock

Finalized periods can be locked.

Immutable evidence

Documents attached before finalization are sealed.

Chain integrity

Each hash includes the previous hash.

The hash seals the commit. The commit backs the ledger.

Finalization is the moment a reviewed, evidence-bearing commit becomes permanent.
