- SHA-256 cryptographic hashing of all IP versions
- AES-256 encrypted backups with signed manifests
- Network monitoring for data exfiltration detection
- Automated file integrity verification
- Continuous protection and monitoring system

Evidence Documentation:
- Complete forensic report with timeline of IP creation

The hardcoded GPG key ID on line 9 makes the script only work for a specific user. While this may be intentional for this specific use case, it limits the reusability of the script. Consider making the GPG key configurable through environment variables or a configuration file.

Suggested change
GPG_KEY="FF7D0BB6EF152C83"
# GPG key ID must be provided via environment variable
if [ -z "$GPG_KEY" ]; then
echo "Error: GPG_KEY environment variable is not set. Please set it to your GPG key ID before running this script."
exit 1

The FILES array on lines 19-24 hardcodes specific files to backup. If any of these files don't exist, the tar command on line 29 will fail silently due to the "2>/dev/null || true" which suppresses errors. This could lead to incomplete backups without the user being notified.

The "Size" field output contains verbose filesystem information instead of just the file size in bytes. The output includes "File:", "ID:", "Namelen:", "Type:", "Block size:", etc., which appears to be the full output from the stat command rather than just the size value. This makes the manifest difficult to read and parse.

The stat command fallback in the script is not working correctly. The command uses both macOS syntax (stat -f "%z") and Linux syntax (stat -c "%s"), but the output shows verbose filesystem information instead of just the file size. The issue is on line 42 where the stat command fallback should only output the size value, but instead outputs the entire stat output.

Suggested change
size=$(stat -f "%z" "$file" 2>/dev/null || stat -c "%s" "$file")
size=$( (stat -f "%z" "$file" 2>/dev/null || stat -c "%s" "$file" 2>/dev/null) | head -n1 )

The hardcoded file path "Phoenix_Protocol_Super_Agent_Architecture.ipynb" on line 30 makes the script tightly coupled to a specific file. If the file is renamed or if users want to protect different files, the script will break. Consider making the protected files configurable.

The git branch detection command on line 58 uses command substitution that could fail if the current branch is detached or doesn't have an upstream. This would cause the entire script to fail or produce misleading output. Consider adding error handling for this case.

The GPG key is created without a passphrase (%no-protection). This is a security risk as anyone with access to the system can use the private key to sign commits. Consider requiring a passphrase for the GPG key to protect against unauthorized use.
