Keep a local Record

Outcome​

Understand how Fasti can keep a media entity without giving one metadata provider ownership of its identity.

Current support state​

Durable Record, identifier, and namespace routes are implemented on the governed local runtime. The browser Workbench is a pre-production review surface. Fasti is not a supported public release.

Record, identifier, and observation​

A Fasti Record identifies a local media entity. A provider identifier is a claim attached to that Record. An observation reports what a source observed. These concepts are related, but they are not the same object.

For example, changing the preferred provider from TMDB to TVDB must not change the Fasti Record ID. If two exact identifiers conflict, Fasti must keep the conflict visible and avoid an unsafe automatic merge.

What Fasti preserves​

  • stable local Record identity;
  • original observations and evidence;
  • typed provider identifiers;
  • unresolved and partially resolved state;
  • append-only interpretations and corrections;
  • receipts that record the completed durability boundary.

What Fasti does not infer safely​

A title match alone does not prove identity. A provider redirect, reused ISBN, alternate cut, remaster, season order, or anime numbering system can refer to a different entity or segment.

Verify the model​

Inspect Capabilities and find identity.record.create. Compare its runtime and support state with observation.accept. The two capabilities have separate owners and scopes.

Problems and recovery​

If exact identifiers disagree, retain both claims and use the governed conflict path. Do not delete the item to make the conflict disappear.
