What one machine's history looks like as an MCAP log, the container robotics tools read: how many messages, one channel per kind of reading, the span from the first reading to the last, the SHA-256 of the exact bytes, and the URL that serves them. Use this to see what evidence exists before pulling a file into your context; the digest lets you prove later that the file you kept is the file this deployment served. Read only.
