Master file corruption
Failure signal
A master file corruption condition is reported or detected during archive.
Likely cause
The controlling record, technical state or approved specification for archive does not match the current asset or workflow.
Verification

Corrective action
Quarantine the file and restore the last verified master before generating new derivatives.
Prevention
Add this verification to the archive gate, retain immutable evidence and assign one accountable owner.
