Recovering lost or overwritten files from the guardrails archive store. Use when the user says a file was deleted, overwritten, truncated, or "messed up", or asks to roll back to an earlier version or undo a recent file operation.

Everything the guardrails touch is recoverable: every archive, every publish,
Everything the guardrails touch is recoverable: every archive, every publish, and every native Write/Edit (a pre-image snapshot is taken automatically before the tool runs). Deletion is disabled, so "deleted" almost always means "archived" or "overwritten with a snapshot available".
agw log <path> # operations involving this path
agw log # recent operations, newest last
agw status # open checkouts
agw log --json gives structured entries with version numbers, timestamps,
hashes, and the archived copy's location.
agw restore <path> # latest archived version
agw restore <path> --version 3 # a specific version
agw undo # revert the single most recent archive/move
Restore is itself non-destructive: if a live file exists at the target path, it is archived first, then the requested version is put in place. You can restore back and forth between versions without losing anything.
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "File is gone" | Archived (rm was redirected) or moved | agw log <path>, then agw restore or agw undo |
| "File has wrong/old content" | Overwritten by a Write/Edit | agw log <path> — pre-image snapshots appear as copy-mode archives; restore the version wanted |
| "Publish clobbered a colleague's edit" | Forced publish over a conflict | The pre-publish copy is archived; agw restore <path> --version N |
| "Whole folder is wrong" | Bulk operation | agw log for the folder's files; restore individually, or use a prior agw snapshot |
