Pull Lock

Go up to Terms and Definitions

A Pull Lock is a machine-processable record of the exact source revisions resolved and retrieved during a Crucible pull operation.

A Pull Lock connects the source references in a Crucible Description to the immutable revision identifiers used in a particular pipeline execution.

The record supports Version Pinning, Reproducibility, Provenance, and Traceability by preserving the relationship between requested source versions and retrieved source revisions.

A Pull Lock may identify image, provisioning, infrastructure, application, compliance, or other repositories retrieved into a Pipeline Workspace.

machine-processable record of the exact source revisions resolved and retrieved during a Crucible pull operation

Specialized from dependency lock files, source-resolution records, and reproducible-build usage for the Crucible architecture and operational model.

A Pull Lock records resolved source revisions. It does not contain the complete retrieved source content.

A later execution can compare its resolved revisions with the Pull Lock to detect changed inputs or reproduce the earlier source selection.

A Crucible Description references tagged image and infrastructure repositories. The pull operation resolves both tags to exact Git commit identifiers and records those identifiers in a Pull Lock.
