branch.fork_at_version

branch.fork_at_version is a command for coding agents from stratalab/strata-core. It costs 0 tokens per session (166 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A historical branch copy starts from a saved version of another branch. It sees exactly the data that existed at that retained point in time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test against an older dataset state, investigate past data, or start a branch from a previous commit.
Why use it?
It lets you recreate an earlier state for inspection or new work. The requested version must still be available in the database history.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

branch.fork_at_version scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Forks a new branch anchored at a retained commit version of the source branch, giving time-travel semantics: the new branch sees exactly the data visible at that version. A version outside retained history fails with history_unavailable.engine.persistence_history.

This command has no dedicated CLI verb: the CLI expresses it as strata branch fork <SOURCE> <BRANCH> --version <VERSION> (one shared branch fork verb routes to all three fork commands, so only branch.fork owns the CLI path). It remains fully reachable through the generic wire surface — strata command run, MCP, and SDKs.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
