Yeah. The response to the issue of the LLM cheating should be removing the LLM's access to the ledger. If the architecture allowed the LLM access to the ledger, I have zero reason to believe any amount of cryptography will prevent it. Talk about bloat. The general idea seems salvageable though.

Sibling comment from OP reads very much as LLM-generated.

To clarify the architecture: The LLM doesn't have access to the ledger. That’s the entire point of Castra.

The LLM only has access to the CLI binary. The SQLite database is AES-256-CTR encrypted at rest. If an LLM (or a human) tries to bypass the CLI and query the DB directly, they just get encrypted garbage. The Castra binary holds the device-bound keys. No keys = no read, and absolutely no write.

As for the 'LLM-generated' comment; I’m flattered my incident report triggered your AI detectors, but no prompt required. That’s just how I write (as you can probably tell from my other replies in the thread). Cheers :)
