Storage

Char stores enough local state to verify rolls without trusting a remote server.

The main categories are:

• Bond index: recognized bonds, lifecycle state, and stake-weighted sampling data.
• Attestation index: signed updates and chain pointers.
• Payload store: content-addressed payload leaves used by roll proofs and sync.
• Ballot database: per-domain endorsement state and roll construction data.
• Domain registry: scheduled domains and metadata strings.

Most paths are rooted under the node's network-specific datadir.

Storage layout is internal and should not be treated as an application API.
