Building a Tamper-Proof Cryptographic Audit Trail & Fail-Closed Engine in Python

In modern system architecture and distributed environments, logging and error-handling are too often treated as afterthoughts. When a security boundary is breached, systems frequently 'fail-open' or leave ambiguous logs that an attacker with write access can easily rewrite or erase.
If your system gets compromised, can you truly trust your audit trail?
To solve this, I designed and open-sourced the Sovereign Transport Kernel—an event-driven kernel featuring a cryptographic Hash-Chain audit trail and a strict ⁠SecureSetContainer⁠ architecture that enforces absolute fail-closed safety."
