Enum VerificationStatus 

pub enum VerificationStatus {
    Verified,
    Unverified,
    Failed,
}

Verification status for entries in the backend.

This enum tracks whether an entry has been cryptographically verified by the higher-level authentication system. The backend stores this status but does not perform verification itself - that’s handled by the Database/Transaction layers.

Only the local validation pass (Transaction) may assign Verified: it is the sole code path that has actually checked the entry’s signature and permissions. Anything arriving from outside this node — over the sync protocol or the service wire — enters as Unverified and can only be promoted later by a local re-verification pass. A peer cannot assert Verified for us; the wire carries no verification status.

Variants

Verified

Entry has been cryptographically verified as authentic by this node’s local validation pass. The default for locally created and signed entries; never assignable from off-node input.

Unverified

Entry has not yet been verified by this node — received before verification could complete (e.g. a delegated/_settings tree it depends on has not arrived yet). Transient and promotable: a future re-verification pass moves it to Verified once its pinned settings-ancestor set is present. Admitted into state, flagged.

Failed

Entry was checked and definitively failed verification — invalid signature, revoked key, etc. Terminal; never promoted.

Implementations

impl VerificationStatus

pub fn as_db_int(self) -> i64

Canonical persistence encoding. The single source of truth for the integer stored in the verification_status column; all backends use this rather than open-coding the mapping.

pub fn from_db_int(code: i64) -> Result<Self>

Inverse of as_db_int. Errors on an unknown code instead of silently collapsing it to Failed — a stray value means storage corruption, not a failed verification.

This codec is intentionally additively extensible: a future state (e.g. a peer-attested Trusted) takes a fresh, never-reused integer. Old data keeps decoding; an old reader rejects the new code rather than misinterpreting it; and the wire carries no status at all, so adding a state is not a protocol change. Source-level it is deliberately not non-breaking — the match arms here and on VerificationStatus elsewhere are exhaustive so the compiler enumerates every site that must consciously handle the new state.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for VerificationStatus

fn clone(&self) -> VerificationStatus

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for VerificationStatus

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for VerificationStatus

fn default() -> VerificationStatus

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for VerificationStatus

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Hash for VerificationStatus

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for VerificationStatus

fn eq(&self, other: &VerificationStatus) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for VerificationStatus

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
