Read-only source posture
Source evidence is read-only by default, with derived analysis performed against verified copies or derived indexes.
Development
Recovery + diagnostics
Deep Orbit
A standalone Windows recovery and reconstruction product built around evidence safety, verified working copies, provenance, confidence assessment, durable recovery missions, diagnostics, and recovery reporting.
What it does
Recover without inventing the missing pieces.
Deep Orbit treats recovery as evidence work. Source material is protected, derived work keeps provenance, confidence is explicit, and interruption is designed to preserve rather than corrupt the mission.
Trace every result
Recovered and derived items retain provenance so findings can be traced back to the evidence and method that produced them.
State confidence explicitly
Recovered remnants, reconstruction candidates, correlations, and interpretations carry visible confidence instead of being presented as certainty.
Durable recovery missions
Recovery work persists as a mission with state, evidence references, analysis progress, derived artifacts, and a recoverable execution history.
Stop safely
SAFE STOP behavior preserves evidence and mission state while explaining why the recovery process stopped.
Report what the evidence supports
Package findings, timelines, reconstruction candidates, hashes, confidence, and provenance into reviewable recovery reports.
Interface
A recovery mission, not a file browser.
The standalone WinUI shell is organized around mission state, evidence, analyzers, reconstruction candidates, media, timelines, and reporting. The panel below is an explanatory website illustration.
Evidence stays in the center.
The user should always be able to tell what source is being examined, what was derived, what changed, what remains uncertain, and whether the mission can be resumed safely.
- Verified copies and hash continuity
- Application, database, media, and timeline correlation
- Mission persistence with explicit SAFE STOP behavior
Requirements
Standalone Windows recovery environment.
Deep Orbit owns its launch, recovery mission, contracts, packaging, and release lifecycle. It must not require a PowerShell Principal source checkout to perform core recovery work.
- Platform
- Windows
- Application shell
- WinUI
- Packaging path
- x64 and ARM64 MSIX with setup bootstrapper
- Core boundary
- Standalone recovery missions and analyzers
Roadmap
Validate the standalone product before shrinking the parent.
The product repository is already seeded with stable analyzers, a standalone mission/import boundary, recovery implementation references, packaging, and a WinUI shell. The next work is validation and defect isolation rather than broad replacement.
Validate analyzer parity
Confirm the standalone analyzers preserve expected behavior and evidence semantics against the stable reference baseline.
Validate mission durability
Prove import, persistence, SAFE STOP, resume, provenance, and derived-artifact behavior across realistic recovery missions.
Validate packaging and clean-machine launch
Prove x64 and ARM64 packaging, setup, launch, dependencies, and repair behavior outside a developer checkout.
Open release channels
Only after standalone parity and clean-machine evidence should broader distribution or reduction of the full Principal implementation occur.
Downloads
Installer publication remains gated.
The website does not expose a recovery installer until packaging, clean-machine launch, evidence handling, and release checks have a verified artifact to publish.
Developer channel
Validation build path
Standalone builds are used for validation and defect isolation. They are not represented as supported public releases here.
Beta + Stable channels
Awaiting standalone release evidence
Public distribution stays closed until the product proves independent launch, packaging, mission safety, and recovery parity.
Automation foundation
Deep Orbit stays distinct from PowerShell Principal.
Principal may provide generic execution, logging, diagnostics, and launch integration, but Deep Orbit owns the full recovery product, evidence semantics, mission lifecycle, and release path.
