 ## Progress log
+- **Host durable-storage adapter — blob adapter LIVE, Blocker CLOSED (8/8).**
+  Added content-addressed `blob/put|get|has?` to `sx_persist_store.ml`: bytes
+  land in `<root>/blobs/<cid>` keyed by a CIDv1 (raw codec, sha2-256 via
+  `Sx_cid`/`Sx_sha2`); `put` is idempotent (identical bytes → same cid → same
+  file); persist stores only the `{:cid :size :mime}` ref, never the bytes. The
+  `(eval ...)`/bridge/resolver fall-through already routes any unowned op to the
+  store, so no new wiring was needed. `persist_durable_test.sh` extended:
+  blob round-trip, content-address idempotency, and bytes+ref-in-kv surviving a
+  real process restart — all green. Existing mock blob suite 14/0 against the
+  worktree binary. The host durable-storage Blocker is now CLOSED.
