 "title": "Check a workflow ledger's health before trusting its history",
 "page_title": "How to check a workflow ledger's health before trusting its history with Task State Guard",
 "summary": "Run a counts-only doctor check on a SQLite task ledger and read its exit code.",
 "who": "An operations engineer who needs to decide whether a local workflow ledger is trustworthy after an incident or a restart.",
 "problem": "Task history may contain inconsistent states, timestamps, or event chains, and reading raw task data risks exposing prompts or task bodies.",
 "outcome": "You get a counts-only health result with an exit code of 0 for a healthy ledger and 1 when inconsistencies exist.",
 "steps": [
  "Create and activate a virtual environment, then run `python3 -m venv .venv` and `. .venv/bin/activate`.",
  "Install the package with `python -m pip install task-state-guard`.",
  "Run `task-state-guard --db ./private-state/tasks.sqlite doctor`.",
  "Read the aggregate output and the exit code, where 0 means healthy and 1 means a structure, state, timestamp, or event chain inconsistency exists in the current database."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the MaxHu-xuan/task-state-guard repo, run the doctor command against <ledger-path> and report the aggregate counts and the exit code. Verify that the output contains only counts and no task IDs, prompts, or message bodies.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Doctor reports inconsistencies in the current database only, and the README does not describe a repair step, so a failing result still needs operator review.",
