Execution modes

Two ways to run a verification, on the client's own infrastructure, or in a temporary environment.

A RestorSignal verification can run in two distinct ways. Which mode applies depends on the technical context and the client's constraints, but in both cases it is always the client who selects the artifact and triggers the test — the execution mode changes nothing about that rule.

• Local runner describes the mode where the restore runs entirely inside an environment the client provides: the artifact never leaves the client's infrastructure, and only normalized evidence is sent to RestorSignal.
• Disposable environment describes the mode where RestorSignal provisions an ephemeral restore environment, into which the client voluntarily transfers the artifact, which is then destroyed after the test.
• Automation explains how an automated trigger on the client side — for example a scheduled job — fits into either mode without ever handing RestorSignal the power to choose what gets tested.
