```

## Source (`component` YAML, verbatim)

```yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=../../schema/component.schema.json
# Azure confidential ledger: append-only record store on hardware-backed enclaves (CCF).
# "About Azure confidential ledger": records are immutable and append-only, every transaction gets a
# Merkle-tree receipt for tamper evidence, nodes span availability zones, and ledger files are
# replicated to the paired region. It stores arbitrary records, not double-entry postings.
