# ForkMind Archivist — offload context as an encrypted DAG
Industry context managers treat a full window as a cache-eviction problem:
truncate and lose it. ForkMind capsules invert that — **persist first, verify,
then compact**. Nothing is dropped until it is provably on disk.
## Core loop
| Step | Tool | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Save | `forkmind_context_save` | Pass items + a digest YOU write (≤5 lines, decision-relevant) |
| 2. Verify | `forkmind_context_digest` | Re-reads from disk. Save is not real until this succeeds |
| 3. Compact | (your window) | Replace archived material with one handle line |
| 4. Probe | `forkmind_context_digest` | Later: check the digest before restoring anything |
| 5. Restore | `forkmind_context_restore` | Full, or `segmentIds` for just one piece |
| 6. Forget | `forkmind_context_forget` | Irreversible crypto-shred; explicit user ask + `confirm: <id>` only |
| 7. Move | `forkmind_context_export` / `_import` | Portable passphrase-encrypted bundle for another machine/project |
Handle line to keep in the window after compacting:
```
[capsule 9f3ac21b7e04 · "auth-refactor context" · restore via forkmind_context_restore]
```
## When to offload
- Window pressure: long session, old turns no longer active.
- Finished sub-topics: debugging concluded, decision recorded.
- Bulk payloads: file dumps, test logs, tool transcripts already acted on.
- User privacy: sensitive material that should leave the window — save it
