PART I
Warm-up
Reconnect with a useful idea before starting plan a backup restoration exercise. In one or two sentences, describe the input, output or host boundary from the previous exercise that this lesson builds on. If you are arriving directly, skim the worked example first; there is no locked prerequisite.
A rough note is enough. You can revise it after the example.
PART II
Instruction & guided example
Deliver a full restoration rehearsal
Recoverability requires a declared invariant, a disposable initial fixture, an interruption or conflict schedule and authoritative final evidence. Atomic updates, durability, backups, code rollback, data migration and unchanged-client compatibility are different guarantees. The source query example supplies none of these operational APIs by itself.
Supplied fixture: Backup at10:00 has order O pending;10:10 confirms it; proposed restore runs at10:20 while client2 remains deployed.
Complete plan preserves backup, stages historical data, identifies the newer confirmation, applies explicit conflict policy, validates client2/schema compatibility and records final invariants. It includes interrupted restore and rollback cases. All fixtures are disposable; no live mutation or hidden runtime is supplied.
The source anchor below is illustrative. WillowScript, its object/anonymous-function extensions and native libraries remain proposed/unimplemented here. Application and data symbols are exercise-host inputs. State missing signatures or recovery guarantees as requirements; do not invent transaction, cancellation or restore methods and do not claim these paper traces executed.

Try the guided change
Guided work: reproduce the fixture as a state/operation ledger and identify the exact evidence boundary supporting its conclusion.
- Write the supplied inputs and initial state before following the example.
- Reconstruct each intermediate calculation or host decision, then compare with the worked artifact.
- Explain why the contrasting alternative fails before attempting the changed inputs in Part IV.
PART III
Take a breather
Step back after the guided example. Look away from the screen, stretch, or reread your prediction. This is an optional learning pause, not a timer or an assessment gate.
When you return, try to name the lesson’s key idea without copying its wording. If that feels difficult, return to Part II and trace one line rather than restarting the entire lesson.
PART IV
Independent practice
Project context: Recovery rehearsal plan. Build a small, understandable change around plan a backup restoration exercise.
Deliver snapshot scope, before/after/conflict tables, migration/rollback plan, unchanged-client cases and exact success evidence. Use different disposable record/resource identities from the worked fixture. Supply intended invariant, step-by-step normal trace, contrasting failed trace, final state and unresolved host requirements.
What to produce
Deliver snapshot scope, before/after/conflict tables, migration/rollback plan, unchanged-client cases and exact success evidence. Include explicit inputs, intermediate states, correct final artifacts and acceptance criteria.
- State the intended behavior in a sentence before editing.
- Use only source-backed syntax and the host services whose contract you have been given.
- Record a normal case and a boundary or unavailable-resource case.
- Label hand predictions separately from anything actually measured in a supplied toolchain.
Syntax colors are a reading aid, not a compiler. The line you are editing stays uncolored until you move to a different line; capitalization is never changed. Drafts stay on this browser and code is not executed.
Need a hint?
Complete plan preserves backup, stages historical data, identifies the newer confirmation, applies explicit conflict policy, validates client2/schema compatibility and records final invariants. It includes interrupted restore and rollback cases. All fixtures are disposable; no live mutation or hidden runtime is supplied.
The rejected conclusion “Only a backup file existing” exceeds or violates the stated contract. Complete plan preserves backup, stages historical data, identifies the newer confirmation, applies explicit conflict policy, validates client2/schema compatibility and records final invariants. It includes interrupted restore and rollback cases. All fixtures are disposable; no live mutation or hidden runtime is supplied.
Original learning-path task and reference
Integrate every section in this module into Recovery rehearsal plan. Submit .ws source, a list of approved host APIs, eight acceptance cases, and a short explanation. Demonstrate Specify atomic transaction expectations; Define crash-recovery evidence; Plan a backup restoration exercise.
import wdb;
domain Inventory {
const lowStock = wdb.query({
from: products,
select: [id, name, stock],
where: [[ stock < 10 ]],
order: { by: stock, direction: ascending }
});
}Where the original task needs a host API that is not supplied here, write the contract and predictions. Do not invent a runtime result.
PART V
Self-check
Use this check to notice what to revisit. It does not award a private course grade, block another page or claim to verify compiled code. Every answer has a learning explanation.
You may keep exploring even if you are unsure. Use the hint, compare the trace, and revise your explanation.
PART VI
Recap & small task
Bring the idea back to the mod feature you are building. A useful recap connects the mechanism to a decision you can make in your own code.
- Deliver a full restoration rehearsal
- Backup at10:00 has order O pending;10:10 confirms it; proposed restore runs at10:20 while client2 remains deployed.
- Separate source-backed behavior, host requirements and untested predictions.
One small recap task
Change one timing, permission, version or ownership condition in the supplied fixture. State which final artifact changes and which invariant must remain preserved.
This marks your personal practice record only. It is not a certification or an official workspace assessment.
