# US06-04 — Plan and Execute Safe Restores Epic: [E06](../E06-archive-lifecycle.md) As a user, I want archived assets restored to collision-free active paths so I can recover originals without losing identity or previous decisions. ## Acceptance criteria - Restore preflight requires the correct archive identity, matching bytes, capacity, safe destination, and no conflicting lease. - Restore copies, closes, verifies, atomically publishes, and registers an active occurrence while preserving asset identity and stage history. - Collisions never overwrite; mismatches become stale/divergent states. - Restore is journaled, resumable, and idempotent. ## Automated tests - Tests cover offline media, wrong volume, normal restore, collision, changed archive bytes, interruption, repeated restart, and preserved decisions. ## Dependencies - US06-03
