Summary
comparison after restore
Why
The production Compose backup hint currently treats the local Git volume as
authoritative. The Helm README and install notes make the same claim and
describe the object store as media-only. Buzz's current Git implementation
instead stores packs, manifests, and manifest pointers in the configured
object store; the local volume is scratch and process-local cache space.
Contradictory backup guidance can produce an apparently healthy restore which
cannot clone a repository.
Recovery guidance
The revised guidance tells operators to stop the stack for a coordinated
backup, or capture PostgreSQL before the object store. It then requires a
restore into an isolated stack followed by an authenticated clone and
comparison against pre-recorded refs, commits, and trees.

git diff --checkReview
One Fable 5 xhigh review initially returned
NEEDS CHANGES. All accepted andapproved findings were incorporated: the incorrect warm-restart cache claim
was removed, safe snapshot ordering was added, and Helm guidance was aligned.
No second independent review was run.
Scope
This is operator guidance only. It does not change storage code and does not
claim to fix issue #4469. An isolated real-world restore passed, so no
repeatable official code defect was reproduced.
