EVIDENCE REVIEW DESK
Move from observations to decisions.
Code here is a local policy model with no target connection. Passing model cases are not security approval or device tests.
Is the backup the correct revision? / Incomplete decision
Inspect an incomplete decision based on record existence or another positive signal. Consider denial cases alongside permitted use.
s => s.backupExists === trueBackup-file existence is insufficient. Without approved revision, change linkage and integrity review, the process state represented by the restored content remains uncertain.

01 / EXPLANATION
The engineering-station role
Engineering stations can mediate privileged operations involving projects and control logic. Treating them like routine office computers can merge distinct trust areas. Harbor records who can access each project revision, maintenance privileges and separation from normal-use identities. Unsupported agents or protection software are not installed on assumption; assess compatibility and operating effects. This lesson provides no installation or control-logic modification procedure. Learners justify the minimum access needed for a task and a supported control approach, including how exceptions will be owned and revisited.
02 / EXPLANATION
Approved revision and integrity
A matching hash is narrow evidence that bytes match; it does not alone establish the correct revision, legitimate origin or safe logic. Keep the approved project ID, vendor-tool revision, change reference and review record together. Harbor asks whether the backed-up project contains the last accepted change. A difference prompts reconciliation by the revision owner rather than automatic loading to the plant. Real logic comparison and field validation belong to authorized engineering. The exercise uses only synthetic textual evidence fields and performs no controller upload, download or process operation.
03 / EXPLANATION
Removable media and transfer
A USB scan reports results of particular checks on content; it does not validate authorization, business need or target compatibility. Review authorized media, an appropriate transfer point, file origin and target-process approval separately. Harbor asks who supplied it, for which project, under what review and when use ended. A direct transfer from an internet-connected computer to a control network requires an explicitly designed process rather than assumed acceptance. Learners connect no media; they evaluate missing fields in synthetic records and explain why a clean scan alone is insufficient.
04 / EXPLANATION
Legacy platform and lifecycle
A legacy system that still runs is not necessarily supported or adequately protected. Record vendor support, spare parts, tool licensing, installation media and specialist dependencies. When replacement is not immediately possible, define compensating-control scope, ownership, measurable evidence and review dates. Compensation is not indefinite risk acceptance. Harbor marks restricted privileged access as an assumption whose real effectiveness would need validation. Link project-integrity and lifecycle risks to procurement and maintenance planning, so an exception has an owner and a practical replacement path rather than a permanent label.
