Export manifests

Review status, coverage, and findings before choosing Export manifest. Select an existing local destination outside every inspected sequence directory. MediaTether rejects the sequence folder and its subfolders before creating output. The export creates a new report folder and does not replace earlier reports.

Schema 1 JSON records plugin/Engine versions, runId, fingerprints, status, counts, reasons, sequence rules, relative paths, file records, and findings. An unresolved or external item has deliveryRelativePath set to null; size and frame can be null when unknown. Recipients join portable relative paths to their own delivery root.

CSV protects spreadsheet formulas and HTML escapes project text. No format copies, moves, repairs, or uploads source media. Original and resolved absolute paths may reveal usernames or internal structure: review and redact before sharing. Selected files and observed metadata are revalidated when export begins; if a source changed or disappeared, run a new inventory rather than exporting stale results. No atomic filesystem snapshot or content checksum is promised.

Partial or cancelled inventories can be exported only after enabling the explicit partial-export option and confirming that incomplete coverage is acceptable. Failed or empty reports cannot be exported. Writes are staged, read back, and published together under a unique name. A write failure does not advertise a valid report or replace an earlier export; if destination safety changes, a temporary folder may be retained. Inspect it before retrying.
