Nice, I think that's pretty neat. Do you have an idea where to take this further? I.e. for the filesystem it's great but what if you need to touch external systems that keep their own state?

In a perfect world, every system and external API would expose a standardized interface for versioning its own immutable state, so you'd be able to rollback and time travel across multiple such systems.

Not sure what else we can do in this world other than tightly control outbound requests and provide enough visibility into those requests for a human|agent to try and undo changes.

Happy to hear your thoughts - what would you like to see us take this?
